Outraged that justice frustrated Gore's attempted coup this New York Times columnist reverted to the Goebbelesque tactic of rewriting history and smearing Bush. http://www.newaus.com.au/us167dowd.html Gore, Bush and media street fighting. A Bush victory will herald four years of vicious media warfare fully supported by the Democrats.

Explains why Greenspan is so preoccupied with inflation even though the CPI seems to be at a modest level. What his monetary critics are calling for is a monetary boom and this is based on the fallacy of the stable price level that prevailed throughout the 1920s and still wields enormous influence today. http://www.newaus.com.au/econ167greenspan.html Gerry Jackson Editor The New Australian http://www.newaus.com.au --- End of forwarded message --- A<>E<>R Forwarded as information only; no endorsement to be presumed + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Integrity has no need of rules. -Albert Camus (1913-1960) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the State among its hapless subjects.

-Caveat Lector- Ironically, the people who attack NEXUS fall into three categories: 1) Fundamentalist Christians. Despite having thousands of gentle christian readers from around the world, there are always extremists who like to practice hatred and bigotry. These people are convinced that NEXUS is controlled by Satan, and/or is part of a plot to kill all jews. (Go figure). Some such extremists lurk on this list. I doubt that they are really who they say they are. 2) Fundamental New Agers. Despite having thousands of 'new age' type readers (defined by health aware, spiritually active, environmentally concerned, pro-peace people not belonging to an established mainstream religion); there are the radical types, like the David Icke followers, who believe NEXUS is run by shape-shifting reptillian aliens from another dimension. Other extremist new agers bemoan NEXUS for being too 'negative'. 3) Sceptics. These are the types that persecuted Galileo and Wright Brothers. These are the 'protectors' of correct thought. These are the true nazis of the mind - ie you are not allowed to think or consider new ideas, the unexplained or deviate in any way from the theory of evolution et al. Well funded, well organised, but lacking in intelligence, honesty and discernment. All three are keen to stop NEXUS being read by others. All three are keen to put the boot in and tell whopping lies about NEXUS. All three types are true fascists in terms of self-righteousness, intolerance of others' freedom of thought and expression, and in terms of spreading hatred. NEXUS exposes information that is unpopular with all the above groups. Period. Duncan Duncan M.

Thompson --- Begin stories: --- About What It Is.. [edited] What worries me is that the Republican political machine accuses opponents of doing what they are planning to do, or already have done. While the GOP was stealing the election, they were accusing Gore of doing it! The Republican Secretary of State of Florida removed people from the rolls improperly. Black voters were turned away from the polls, even when they had voter registration cards. The Republicans said Gore would "do anything to win the election by hook or by crook" while they were clearly doing that themselves. Further, they said Gore wanted to count votes only in Democratic counties, when it was the Bush camp who refused an offer to count the whole state. The Republicans complained about court challenges, but they filed more actions than the Gore people, and tried to prevent votes from being counted! Then, although fond of law and order, they imported a mob from out of state to bang on doors and intimidate vote counters in Miami. The party that claims to favor local solutions used the US Supreme Court to prevent a ballot count ordered by the Florida Supreme Court. If that isn't enough, the Republican majority of the Florida Legislature tried to replace the Florida voters in selecting the State's members of the Electoral College. At least, this stops short of calling in the military to impose the party's rule, as is done in many other countries, but I don't like it. Richard A. Stimson --- Cover-ups and withholding ballot information: same old Republican tricks Online Journal - http://www.onlinejournal.com 12-12-00 By Carla Binion Sociologist Max Weber once said that the first line of defense of any bureaucracy is the withholding of information. George W. Bush's team includes some of his dad's cronies, such as James Baker, George Schultz, and Richard Thornberg. None of them are strangers to withholding information as a means of defending corruption. It makes sense that the Bush team now argues against counting the ballots. They have long favored secrecy over disclosure. George H. W. Bush was CIA Director in the mid-1970s. The CIA, and George W.'s dad, are no strangers to rigged elections-in Third World countries. In 1984, when Manuel Noriega chose Nicolas Barletta to be Panama's president, the Reagan/Bush administration knew the election was rigged, that ballot boxes were stuffed, and that documents were falsified. (Imperial Alibis, Stephen R. Shalom, South End Press, 1993.) Under Reagan/Bush, the U. S. government funneled money to Barletta's campaign. Following the vote fraud, U. S. aid to Panama grew from $12 million to $75 million. After the "election," Reagan invited Barletta to the White House to congratulate him on his win. (Imperial Alibis.) Secretary of State George Schultz, adviser to George W. in Campaign 2000, attended Barletta's inauguration and lauded Panama's "democratization." (Unreliable Sources, Norman Solomon and Martin A. Lee, Carol Publishing Group, 1992.) Bush team adviser and daddy-Bush crony, James Baker, said recently that the team is not trying to "run out the clock" regarding ballot counting. However, Baker was part of the Reagan administration when the Reagan/Bush crew used delay tactics to evade responsibility for Iran-contra. Remember how George H. W. Bush got away with his Iran-contra misdeeds? Reagan's attorney general, Richard

The 5-year-old's fever was all but gone, his wiry black hair no longer dripped with sweat and there was no trace of the crippling muscle pains that had left his tan body riving in agony for eight days. But then the blood began to run from his nose, ooze from his lips and trickle out of his throat. ``We were noting that his color was much better and saying that he could go outside and play with his cousins,'' said Oloxon, a 33-year-old mother of five. ``Then we were screaming and praying, 'Please God, save our little one.''' Cristian, who was rushed to the hospital and eventually made a full recovery, had been stricken with a potentially fatal form of dengue fever â a painful, mosquito-borne virus characterized by headaches, rashes, cramps and severe back and bone pain. Most dengue sufferers recover after about a week, but those stricken with the disease's hemorrhagic variety begin to bleed internally just when it appears they have recovered. The victims can die within a few days if they are not hospitalized. Hemorrhagic dengue, which usually strikes children and the elderly because of their weak immune systems, has killed at least 70 people in Latin America this year. There is no cure for dengue and medical experts aren't sure how the hemorrhagic virus is structurally different from dengue's nonfatal forms. Still, doctors can save those stricken with hemorrhagic dengue by treating its symptoms and replenishing the blood and plasma lost to internal bleeding â if the patients receive treatment in time. Mosquito fumigation Associated Press/Moises Castillo [25K] -- -- A global pandemic of dengue began in Southeast Asia after World War II and began intensifying in 1982, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is not as aggressive as other highly contagious viruses such as Ebola, but is instead carried by mosquitoes born in the standing water found in ponds, outdoor sinks, flower pots or garbage piles located behind many homes in Central and South America. Houses without air conditioning, whose screen-less windows are almost always left open to combat stifling heat, become easy targets for the insects, which feed at night when homes are teeming with family members. ``One infected person can infect an entire neighborhood,'' said Jorge Arias, Latin American adviser on communicable diseases for the Washington-based Pan American Health Organization. ``Once a mosquito bites someone with dengue, it becomes very easy for that mosquito to give it to dozens of others.'' Arias said dengue in all its forms is not a problem in the United States because of the air conditioners and window screens found in most homes there. Americans are also not as likely to have standing water close to open windows as people living in Latin America, he said. But in El Salvador, doctors have seen more than 330 new cases of hemorrhagic dengue since October, when the government declared a nationwide state of emergency. In 11 months this year, 35 people have died from complications related to hemorrhagic dengue, Health Minister Jose Lopez Beltran said. That number was expected to exceed 45 by the end of the year, he said. A contingent of dengue experts from the United States and around the world have since arrived to treat and observe more than 3,000 patients suffering from both potentially fatal and non-deadly forms of dengue. While the disease is not directly contagious, a 24-year-old Cuban medical volunteer who traveled to San Salvador to help treat dengue patients died Oct. 11 after being bitten by a mosquito in a crowded public hospital. Dengue has also killed 10 people in Honduras so far this year and doctors were watching hundreds of patients believed to be suffering from the fatal form of dengue, health ministry officials reported. According to Arias, complications caused by dengue fever have also killed seven people in the Dominican Republic, four in Venezuela and claimed three victims in Nicaragua and Brazil. ``The trend is that things will get worse unless definite action is taken,'' Arias said. Eight Guatemalans have died from the effects of dengue â six of whom were children who hailed from this sweltering and scruffy town of 200,000 people located 130 miles west of Guatemala City. ``We are on red alert,'' said Saul Orlando Martinez, head of Coatepeque's national hospital. ``We can treat patients who come in with internal bleeding, but we don't know how many
[CTRL] Clinton stay on as care-taker?
-Caveat Lector- From new services - Bill Clinton may become a caretaker president while America resolves its constitutional crisis. Constitutional experts say Mr Clinton could provide a lifeline while disputed votes continue to be recounted. It is expected the votes will put Gore ahead of George W Bush but it is doubtful that the White House winner can be finalised by the time the president is due to hand over power on January 20. He may be appointed under the 20th amendment to the constitution which states the US Congress could appoint an acting president to serve if the ballot dispute is not resolved by inauguration day. Professor James Fleming, of Fordham University, said: "I don't think Bill Clinton has explicitly applied for the job, but he is the most obvious choice for it." The president has hinted that he would have run again this year had he been allowed to, and is confident he would have won. Republicans, who expected Mr Bush to be made president, say they will fight the stunning reverse dealt by Florida's Supreme Court which allowed the counting to go ahead. The recount was halted over the weekend by the US Supreme Court which is due to hear arguments from both sides. The judges in Florida had cut Mr Bush's lead to 154 votes and ordered the recounting of up to 45,000 ballots. The ballots are those in which a presidential choice was not picked up by the counting machines. As the stalemate goes on The Daily Express claims the current president may be asked to step in as a caretaker. == Hale said in private email to a list-member on 11/11/00 - "...I would not be surprised at a slow move towards "avoiding instability" as things work through the courts to sort the election out. And that could lead to a temporary suspension of certain amendments . . . I'd say about 15% chance of something developing. Not likely, but certainly not farfetched." == 10/3/00 - from WSJ "How will Clinton stay in power?" OT humor - 9. An extended Clinton term (37). Twenty-seven readers predicted that Mr. Clinton would declare martial law or a state of emergency and cancel the election -- a rather farfetched notion. Others thought Mr. Clinton would ignore, reinterpret or seek repeal of the 22nd Amendment limiting him to two terms. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] AP: Court Upholds Military Ballots
-Caveat Lector- Monday December 11 4:03 PM ET Court Upholds Military Ballots ATLANTA (AP) - An appeals court on Monday agreed with a federal judge who refused to throw out 2,400 of Florida's overseas ballots, mostly from military personnel, because they arrived after Election Day. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) said the ruling by U.S. District Judge Maurice Paul in Gainesville, Fla., was consistent with recent comments by Florida's highest court about the workings of the absentee ballot law. The lawsuit brought by Democratic voters sought to eliminate enough ballots to change the election results in Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites)'s favor. Republican George W. Bush (news - web sites) led by less than 200 votes as election challenges continued in the U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) and elsewhere Monday. ``While Florida law seems to favor counting ballots, this change would take away the votes of thousands of Florida citizens - including members of America's armed forces on duty outside of the country pursuant to the nation's orders - who, to cast their ballots, just did what they were told by Florida's election officials,'' the appeals court said. The appeals court rejected the claims of lawyers representing 13 individual Democratic voters whose lawsuits were combined before Paul. The lawsuits claimed that state and federal laws, along with the U.S. Constitution, require all ballots to be received by the close of the polls on Election Day. Roger Bernstein, a New York lawyer for the voters, said an appeal was likely. ``The decision seems inconsistent with the enacted laws of Florida,'' he said. Joseph Klock, a Miami, Fla., lawyer for the Republicans, was returning from arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court and could not immediately return a telephone call for comment, according to his office. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] NM: Key Whitewater Witness Faces Arkansas Prison
-Caveat Lector- Key Whitewater Witness Faces Arkansas Prison NewsMax.com Monday, Dec. 11, 2000 The state conviction of David Hale, a key witness in the Whitewater scandal, has been upheld by the Arkansas Supreme Court on a minor legal technicality. Hale, one of special counsel Kenneth Starrs witnesses in the federal Whitewater trial of former Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, businessman Jim McDougal and McDougal's ex-wife, Susan, must spend 21 days in a state prison because his lawyers failed to make a timely motion, the court ruled in a 6-1 decision issued late last week. Hale was the chief cooperating witness in the independent counsel probe of the Clintons known as "Whitewater." Hale's testimony led to the convictions of the Arkansas trio on fraud and conspiracy charges. Hale had received federal immunity from federal prosecutors. But a quirk in the law allowed Arkansas state prosecutors to prosecute Hale on local charges. In an apparent act of political retribution, Hale was convicted in 1999 of making false or misleading statements to state insurance regulators. He appealed the conviction on the grounds that prosecutors had improperly questioned him about his role in the Whitewater matter. He claimed that federal prosecutors had granted him immunity from future federal prosecutions in exchange for his cooperation with the Whitewater investigation. Hales said that in using information from his federal case, the Arkansas prosecutors acted wrongly. Without judging the merits of Hales claim, the court held that he or his lawyers had failed to object to the questioning in a timely matter, and had waited too long to raise the point. Justice Annabelle Clinton Imber wrote that Hales lawyer failed to make timely objections to prosecutors' questioning of Hale about his role in the Whitewater scheme. She wrote that the questioning continued for a full 23 pages in the transcript before any objection was raised. Despite the court's rulings, the Arkansas legal action is unprecedented, according to legal experts. States, typically, honor federal immunity. Defenders of Hale say the state action against him was meant to punish him for his testimony against the Clintons and other Arkansas Democrats. Hale, a former Little Rock judge, charged publicly that Bill Clinton pressured him into making a fraudulent, federally backed $300,000 Small Business Administration loan to Susan McDougal. Starr, however, refused to consider bringing charges against the president unless Hale's claims were supported by another, credible witness. One possible witness was Jim McDougal, who died in prison shortly after agreeing to cooperate with Starr. Hale has already served a 24-month federal prison term after pleading guilty in 1994 to conspiracy and mail fraud. Hale has had two heart attacks and uses a pacemaker. He continues taking life-sustaining medications. The Arkansas court agreed to allow him to wait until there was room in a state prison for him to serve his 21-day sentence instead of making him wait in a local jail cell to begin serving his time, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] SMH: US investigator follows claim of Reno vendetta against Sydney-based lawyer
-Caveat Lector- US investigator follows claim of Reno vendetta against Sydney-based lawyer Sydney Morning Herald Monday December 11, 2000 By John Macgregor A high-powered Washington investigator will visit Australia to study suggestions that the US Attorney-General, Ms Janet Reno, may have used the FBI in a vendetta against a political rival - a lawyer now practising in Sydney. Mr Joseph Gersten is seeking refugee status in Australia on the basis of "a well-founded fear of political persecution" in the US. He was a rival of Ms Reno in Florida Democratic politics in the 1980s and early 1990s. She laid drug and prostitution-related charges against him in 1992. The Chief Counsel of Washington's powerful House Committee on Government Reform, Mr James C. Wilson, will come to Sydney early next year after receiving fresh evidence concerning Mr Gersten. He says he wants to "talk to Gersten, and also to Australian law-enforcement authorities" about the FBI passing "raw and unsubstantiated" information on Mr Gersten to the Australian Federal Police. The new evidence comes in documents subpoenaed from the Justice Department, the State Attorney's Office in Florida, and leaked to the House committee from Australian Government departments. The committee recently furnished Mr Gersten's legal team with a copy of a report on him, written by Nautilus Investigations and Security Pty Ltd, a Sydney company. According to the US Embassy in Canberra, Nautilus "volunteered" the report to it. The report casts serious aspersions on Mr Gersten - which he says are false. In a covering note, Nautilus investigator Mr Langdon Rogers pitches for business to the embassy, and offers to "return" Mr Gersten - apparently to the US. Nautilus's report has been sent under US Embassy letterhead to the Commissioner of the Federal police, Mr Mick Palmer. Tomorrow in Washington, Mr Wilson will interview Ms Susan Curtis, the FBI agent apparently responsible for sending the letter on Mr Gersten to the Federal police while she was a legal attaché at the Canberra embassy. Information about Mr Gersten's character was divulged to the NSW Law Society and the Immigration Department by the AFP in the mid-1990s. There has since been an attempt to withdraw his certificate to practise law; and his application to live in Australia as a "skilled migrant" has been refused. The FBI, Mr Palmer, Ms Reno and her successor as Florida State Attorney, Ms Katherine Rundle, have declined to comment on the Gersten matter. The Prime Minister, Mr Howard, was recently briefed on the case by advisers. Ms Reno's moves against Mr Gersten began in 1992, when she was a Florida State Attorney. In that year, she laid the drug and prostitution-related charges against him. The evidence for these charges has been seriously eroded by subpoenaed FBI documents which the House committee has just released to Mr Gersten's legal team. These "302s" (reports of witness interviews) put the time of Mr Gersten's alleged offences at 11 to 11.30pm on April 29, 1992. The offences are claimed, by the State Attorney's Office, to have occurred between 6.15 and 7pm. From 9pm onwards on the night in question, Mr Gersten had credible alibis. Mr Gersten says these newly released documents "have been deep-sixed [suppressed] for several years, obviously because they directly contradict the case against me by State Attorney Reno and her successor". A Bush victory in the US election would enable a Republican attorney-general to act on the House committee's work, including that related to Ms Reno's alleged abuses of power. Sources close to the committee believe this may include Mr Gersten's case. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] WP: Landfill Tapes May Hold Secrets
-Caveat Lector- Landfill Tapes May Hold Secrets By Walter Pincus Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, December 12, 2000 ; Page A02 The FBI's crime laboratory is examining more than 10 computer tapes recovered from a New Mexico landfill, and a government official said yesterday that, judging by their "outside appearance," they could be the classified cassettes that former Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee claims to have thrown into the trash. Officials said it will take several days to begin to reconstruct what is on the tapes, many of which are crushed. But the FBI has temporarily halted its two-week search of the Los Alamos County Landfill, and Energy Department experts have been put on alert to analyze whether the tapes hold the nuclear weapons data that Lee downloaded from the computer system at Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1993 to 1997. If the tapes excavated from a mountain of garbage prove to have been made by Lee, the discovery would help to back up the Taiwanese American scientist's assertion that he tossed approximately 17 tapes into a trash receptacle at Los Alamos in January 1999. It also would help reassure investigators that the tapes did not end up in the hands of a foreign country. But government officials cautioned that it may be impossible to determine from the physical evidence whether all of the tapes ended up in the landfill or whether anybody other than Lee ever handled them. "Among the tapes there could be one or more [that Lee] might have thrown away," said one official familiar with the investigation. "But we don't know if they are all of them." The official added that, by the same token, if the tapes found in the landfill do not turn out to have been made by Lee, "that doesn't say he didn't destroy the ones he had." Still, the apparent discovery of the missing tapes was a dramatic turn in the long and controversial case. Lee, 60, has been under steady FBI investigation since 1996, when he was targeted as a possible source of secret data about the newest U.S. nuclear warhead, the W-88, which had been obtained by China, possibly through espionage. Although the espionage case against Lee essentially collapsed and he was never charged with spying, he was fired from his job at Los Alamos for security violations in March 1999. Investigators then searched his office and home, where they found evidence that he had downloaded the equivalent of more than 400,000 pages of nuclear weapons design data and computer simulation programs to his office computer and to portable tapes. As a result, the FBI opened a new investigation, which led to Lee's arrest in December 1999. Charged with 59 counts of mishandling classified information and violating the Atomic Energy Act, he was held in solitary confinement and threatened with life in prison. Part of the evidence against Lee was that he appeared to have gone to great lengths to hide his downloading by erasing data and repeatedly attempting to enter the top-secret X Division at Los Alamos after his security clearance was revoked. Lee, through his lawyers, steadfastly maintained that he had never given the tapes to anyone and had destroyed them, though he long declined to say exactly how. His supporters, including Asian American groups, said he had been singled out because of his ethnicity. Government experts disagreed over the importance of the information he had downloaded, and his lawyers proved that the lead FBI agent on the case had given faulty testimony. Ultimately, Lee pleaded guilty to a single felony count and was sentenced in September to the nine months he had already served. The federal trial judge apologized to him and excoriated other branches of government for his harsh treatment. As part of Lee's plea bargain, he pledged to tell investigators why he made the tapes and exactly what he did with them. Until now, however, government officials have been skeptical of his claim that he made the tapes as protection against computer failures and later just threw them away. FBI officials in Washington yesterday refused to confirm that any tapes have been discovered. Bill Elwell, a spokesman for the FBI field office in Albuquerque, said its grueling, dawn-to-dusk search of the 50-acre landfill with handrakes was halted Friday because agents were tired and needed a rest. He declined to confirm that any tapes had been found. Lee's plea agreement allows the FBI to question him for up to 10 full days. Two days of questioning remain. Afterward, the FBI can request that he take a polygraph exam to try to determine whether he has told the truth. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A

My mom became ill and had to have surgery. Everything went well and she is now recovering. My sisters and I are blessed to have our parents, nearing 80, still with us. Meanwhile, I guess some sort of overthrow is taking place right here in the good ol' U.S. of A. I knew the U.S. Supreme Court was dominated by reactionaries and conservatives. But, honestly -- I never, ever, believed it was... crooked. Until now. This Court appears ready to install a President who did not win the election. Can this really be happening? Everyone knows that if the votes are ever counted in Florida, Gore is the winner. George W. Bush knows that more than anyone -- that's why he's fighting so desperately hard to stop that count from ever taking place. If he felt he was truly the winner, his attitude would be, "Sure, go ahead and count the ballots, I'm not worried 'cause I know I'm the winner." But that's NOT what he thinks or knows. He knows he lost. EVERYONE knows he lost. Let's cut the B.S. If those 12,000 ballots ever get counted, George W. Bush is the loser and everyone with an I.Q. of over 70 knows it. Why would the loser insist on being given the top prize? Have you ever heard of such a thing? Not only that, he has convinced all the loser-lovers in the Florida legislature and the U. S. House of Representatives to grant him the victory in case he loses -- again -- in court. In every other nation on this planet, they have a word for this behavior -- and that word is "coup." George W. Bush and his allies in Congress, the Florida legislature, and the U.S. Supreme Court are trying to stage a coup, an overthrow of the will of the people. According to last Sunday's stunning front page story in the Miami Herald, had there been no shenanigans in the Florida election, the Herald calculates that Gore would have won Florida by 23,000 votes! You can check out this story by clicking here: http://www.herald.com/content/archive/news/elect2000/decision/104268.htm The theft of this election didn't just start with Jeb Bush's girlfriend/Bush for President Co-Chairwoman/Bush delegate to the Republican Convention/Secretary of State Katherine Harris's refusal to count the ballots. Months ago, Jeb and Katherine sought to eliminate as many black voters as possible from the voting rolls. This is a mind-blowing story and I encourage you to read it by clicking here: http://www.bushneverwonflorida.com/ The U.S. Supreme Court stopped the counting of the ballots this weekend and violated the law in doing so. They are allowed to grant a stay only if "irrevocable, irreparable harm" would happen if the votes were counted. Since when does the counting of our citizens' votes cause "irreparable harm"? Justice Antonin Scalia said (I'll paraphrase here), well, we believe Bush won and if we allow those votes from Florida to be counted and Gore ends up ahead, well, that would cause irreparable harm to a Bush administration. Yes, that is what he said! Look, let's be honest about something. Part of the reason we are in the mess we are in today is because AL GORE voted YES to put Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court. Let me say this one more time so it sinks in to every Gore-loving head out there: AL GORE VOTED TO PUT SCALIA ON THE SUPREME COURT! The chickens sure have come home to roost for that blunder (and for the 11 Democrats who voted YES to give Clarence Thomas his narrow victory). Don't write me and tell me about the kind of Court we "might" get under Bush thanks to Nader. We already have it, thanks to Al and his Democrats. It's a tough pill to swallow. Listen, this fight today, Monday, December 11, 2000, is not about Al Gore. It is about the only thing that ultimately matters in a democracy -- the right to vote. The right to have a say in who will represent us. Gore got 300,000 more votes than Bush. Gore won. Gore will have more votes in Florida if those ballots are allowed to be counted. Gore won. I have no personal interest in seeing Al Gore in the White House. I did not vote for him. But I don't like liars, I don't like thieves, and I really hate cowards. Mr. Bush (that's what the majority of Americans will always call you, because we will not participate in your lie by ever calling you "Mr. President") -- we know what you are so afraid of. You are a coward for not wanting those ballots counted because you know the outcome. You know you've lost. You know

[CTRL] Election2000: Hegelian Style
-Caveat Lector- Previous thread: Re: [CTRL] Coup? Hello everyone, In a message dated 12/12/2000 3:33:56 AM Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: But that's NOT what he thinks or knows. He knows he lost. EVERYONE knows he lost. Let's cut the B.S. If those 12,000 ballots ever get counted, George W. Bush is the loser and everyone with an I.Q. of over 70 knows it. Everyone with an I.Q. over 70 should realize that the attempt to cherry pick the undervote from three (3) heavy Democrat counties is a purposeful attempt at skewing the national error rate average to favor Gore. The above quoted post by "Michael so and so" is a joke, and rather than waste time addressing it individually, I will simply cut and paste the comments I wrote (for a different list) on this subject two weeks ago. Incidentally, CNN has a county by county breakdown of undervotes. - BEGIN EXCERPT Sometime two weeks ago Tsadowq wrote: That brings up another issue. Why is nobody talking about the fact that there is a NATIONAL UNDERVOTE, and that GORE's cherry picking tactics would seriously and purposely SKEW the NATIONAL UNDERVOTE? The undervotes are the votes rejected -- for one reason or another -- from the vote counting machines. An unchallenged 1974 Florida appellate court ruling stated that "mere confusion does not amount to an impediment to the voters' free choice if reasonable time and study will sort out." The Illinois decision (which was improperly represented to the Florida Supreme Court by Gore attorney David Boies), added that voters who fail to properly follow instructions, "disenfranchise themselves." Overlooking the fact that confused voters disenfranchise THEMSELVES, we should not ALSO overlook the very large parts of the mathematics behind the machine tallies: 1) Unbiased machines reject votes without prejudice of race, creed, or political intention. 2) Said undervotes are part of a NATIONAL error rate, sometimes MORE Republican ballots are tossed out, sometimes MORE Democrat ballots are tossed out. The idea is that NATIONALLY, the ERRORS will BALANCE OUT because the machines are not being BIASED, the machines only rejecting unreadable votes. With these facts in mind, it is very clear that the "cherry picking" of votes from DEMOCRAT HEAVY DISTRICTS would OBVIOUSLY SKEW this NATIONAL ERROR RATE in Gore's favor. Does the GORE camp seriously think that we are unaware of this? And speaking of election FRAUD...where is DALEY? The MINUTE that fraud was mentioned DALEY disappeared from the GORE cheerleading team. And with good reasonDaley's father was a well known suspect in voter fraud dating back 30 years. Some people say that Gore INVENTED the Internet. Other people say that Daley's Dad INVENTED vote fraud. At any rate, I believe that this entire election is more Hegelian Dialect, with the possible synthesis being any one or all of the following: 1) A national and universal voting system that would be labeled "tamper/fraud" proof. How? That is easy. How about NEW national voting systems which ONLY accept votes from citizens with a National I.D. card? 2) To wipe out the Electoral College. Think about this, C-SPAN live for the classroom is in MANY SCHOOLS. I watched a CNN piece on what elementary and intermediate school children think of the election. Afterall, they feel that they are very informed after watching the spin. The end result? The majority of the kids interviewed CONFIRMED the ideas expressed in #1 and #2. These kids were literally parroting the exact statements. "We need national voting systems" and "We need to destroy the Electoral College, it is not fair." We all know that the Electoral College is the Constitutional part of the Republic. Without the Electoral College, the presidential candidates would only need to carry California, New York, Texas and Florida, in order to win. Yes, the masses in these four states would be enough to win the POPULAR VOTE. Why would a candidate even BOTHER to campaign in the other 46 states? In any case, this is clearly an issue of States Rights. The States of the Union are guaranteed Equal Representation. Which makes me wonder... Why aren't people from states OTHER than Florida SUING for EQUAL REPRESENTATION? Afterall, if we are going to count by hand all the UNDERVOTES of cherry picked DEMOCRATIC counties, this unequivocally makes the VOTES in FLORIDA of more VALUE than those UNDERVOTES in ALL THE OTHER STATES. The undervote in all other states was not hand counted, it was THROWN OUT. The fact is that if we are going to count by hand the UNDERVOTES in Florida, those UNDERVOTES are part of a NATIONAL AVERAGE and ERROR rate. In order to avoid skewing that national error rate, we must either DISCARD ALL undervotes, or we must COUNT ALL undervotes (approximately 1.2 to 1.8 million nationwide). ANY other solution

[CTRL] Voices And Lucid Dream Hustle/Scams
-Caveat Lector- There is a RB record that opens with the line Here I Go, Here I go, Here I go again. For those in the group who experience the weird and lurid lucid dreams, as you know, my THEORY holds that the subliminal, voice to skull, skin as a piezo electric surface methodology does not work on a sleeping subject. In fact I say the voices have to be audible in order for the victim's dreams to be effected via lucid dream techniques. One aspect of this theory is the message delivery system is aided by reasonating the subject as well affecting (building a column of air gradually over a given time span) the air pressure in the sleeping subjects body , in fact making his or her chest cavity a speaker enclosure. My theory is 'this time'(sleeping hours) is when most of the 'dirty work' is done on the population group we have come to know as TI's. During this state the association of thoughts with objects take place, and this is replayed over the next day or days through the person's day to day chores, often re-cued by encounters with both strong and weak stimuli. You can verify this yourself. Buy a long term tape record(16 hours) a good microphone and about 20 two hour tapes. You will be surprised at what you pick up. This method is a commonly used as a hustle on third world hayseeds who believe the voices coming from their body is maybe a forerunner of out and out demonic possession. Naturally regular old everyday americans buy into the hustle, but in a different manner: They believe they are on the verge of a major breakdown whose onset is signalled by this symptom of a serious mental illness. My theory all holds this method is used in 'fly by night' drug rehab clinics, and rampantly emploed in residential group homes for toster children and the mentally ill. North East Bronx, lower Westchester county, and the downtown Broolkn communites of Fort Greene and south Brooklyn(84th and 88th (The Psychoanalytic)) precincts. This is easy to dolower mid tech, and works quite well on isolated individuals as well the population group described in the prior paragraph. I also contend there have been lawsuits filed because this method which have been settled out of court and do not appear on the courts record. But then again this is only a theory.

You must be in the realm of fantasy, when you claim that "the David Icke followers, believe NEXUS is run by shape-shifting reptillian aliens from another dimension."

I doubt that they are really who they say they are. 2) Fundamental New Agers. Despite having thousands of 'new age' type readers (defined by health aware, spiritually active, environmentally concerned, pro-peace people not belonging to an established mainstream religion); there are the radical types, like the David Icke followers, who believe NEXUS is run by shape-shifting reptillian aliens from another dimension. Other extremist new agers bemoan NEXUS for being too 'negative'. 3) Sceptics. These are the types that persecuted Galileo and Wright Brothers. These are the 'protectors' of correct thought. These are the true nazis of the mind - ie you are not allowed to think or consider new ideas, the unexplained or deviate in any way from the theory of evolution et al. Well funded, well organised, but lacking in intelligence, honesty and discernment. All three are keen to stop NEXUS being read by others. All three are keen to put the boot in and tell whopping lies about NEXUS.

I do NOT have to like people making uninformed comments about the magazine, especially those who have never read a single copy. 5. I do NOT have to like personal attacks, lies, and smear. 6. And where do you get off distorting my posts anyway? Your post is not 'scrutiny', it is smear and distortion. You obviously desire NEXUS and myself to look bad to other readers on this list. What is your motive for such distortion? I have as much right to post to this list as you do, and what I posted was in response to a number of personal and public comments. Maybe you want to look at the quality of your own postings before you go around judging those of others. Duncan Duncan M.

[CTRL] Fwd: Kyoto Collapses In The Hague
-Caveat Lector- Kyoto Collapses In The Hague Dec. 6, 2000by: Phyllis Schlafly The collapse of the global warming treaty negotiations in The Hague last week illustrates the folly of the Clinton-Gore globalists who want to give a consortium of foreigners the power to regulate the American standard of living. The conference ended with a cream pie in the face, literally, of U.S. representative Frank E. Loy, and egg all over the faces, figuratively, of the Clinton-Gore globalists who have been promoting this treaty for years. Called the Kyoto Protocol, the proposed treaty was agreed to in Japan by 175 countries in 1997, and The Hague conference was supposed to fill in the fine print with rules and penalties. Al Gore attended the Kyoto Conference, agreed to the treaty, and later signed it in New York. The treaty would commit the United States and three dozen industrial countries to cut their greenhouse-gas emissions by the year 2012 to at least 5 percent below their 1990 levels. This would require a tremendous reduction in our use of energy. The ideology behind this radical objective is to subordinate our standard of living, which is largely based on the use of fossil fuels, to the supremacy of global ecology. Or, as Al Gore says in the title of his book, force us to put "Earth in the Balance." There is nothing "balanced" about the ideology or the treaty. The ideology is the new religion of worshiping Mother Earth, and the treaty would codify newly invented and manifestly unequal global regulations devised by the environmental extremists. Developing countries, including China, India and Mexico, and oil exporters including Saudi Arabia, seek enforceable global rules from which they would be exempt. China and India were so adamant about refusing to initiate climate-protection programs that this wasn't even on the agenda. Any successful agreement for a global commission to regulate personal and industrial use of energy would have to be based on a community of purpose and interests by the signers. The Hague conference displayed the hopelessness of this venture and the passionate diversity of the participants. What the United States stands to gain, if anything, by the treaty is unclear. The dominant interest of Third World countries is their demand for the United States to finance their dictators in a lifestyle to which they would like to become accustomed. The poor nations are demanding that the U.S. build projects in their countries for climate protection, pollution cutting, "clean coal," and forest protection, but are even unwilling to allow us any "credits" for these handouts in meeting our emissions goals. As an envious Nigerian declaimed, "They have caused the problems, they have made the whole world unsafe." Curdling beneath the surface were the demands of countries with diametrically opposed interests. In some nations the climate is too hot and they don't want it any hotter, while other nations hope global warming will make their crops more abundant. Some countries, such as the United States, can meet emission- reduction goals because their large forests function as a "sink" to naturally absorb the main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide coming from our tailpipes and smokestacks. America's vast forests absorb up to 300 million tons a year of carbon dioxide and could get us halfway toward the treaty's goals, but other countries reject this as a "free ride." Regulations are opposed by countries that are completely dependent on politically incorrect coal or oil and would be devastated by the new regulations. Regulations are favored by low-lying countries that worry about the rising of the seas that is predicted if the earth warms and ocean ice melts. Some countries have already subjected their industries to heavy socialistic regulations and want to impose the same on the rest of the world. Other countries value their freedom from regulations. To facilitate the redistribution of U.S. wealth to Third World dictatorships, The Hague conferees proposed a plan to allow rich nations to "buy" emissions credits from poor nations, presumably the small countries which usually gang up against U.S. interests. However, the biggest poor country is Russia, whose economy is so devastated that it can't afford industrial production to produce emissions anyway. The collapse of the Russian economy has produced a windfall of possible pollution "credits" that Russia can sell to countries unwilling to reduce emissions. Translated, that means the U.S. taxpayers would pay tribute to Russia in order to be allowed to maintain our current standard of living. Nuclear power, which produces energy without greenhouse emissions, is another sticking point. The environmentalists have prevented the construction of modern nuclear plants in the United States, but other countries have no such
[CTRL] Fwd: FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS: Yugoslavia Rwanda
-Caveat Lector- URL - http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/tolls.htm www.tenc.net [Emperor's Clothes] FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS: Yugoslavia Rwanda by Jared Israel "No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." (MEDITATION XVII., Devotions upon Emergent Occasions by John Donne) A country's foreign policy has some consistency, and for good reason; it is the best planned expression of the political and economic goals of that country's Establishment. Why should it be a surprise, then, that the U.S. government, which created the monstrous assault on justice called the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, has done the same thing in Rwanda? (1) We just published a critique called 'One-Sided Justice At The Rwanda Tribunal'. (2) We at Emperor's Clothes have benefited from conversations with and written reports by several experts on the Rwandan situation including members of the superb team of Canadian lawyers who have defended Hutu leaders accused of war crimes. We must make this information available to our readers. It shows that the Rwandan War Crimes Tribunal is every bit as much an assault on Justice as the better-known War Crimes Tribunal for Yugoslavia, at the Hague. Rwanda and Yugoslavia may seem far away but Western citizens will ignore these Tribunals at their peril. Why? Because they are controlled by the West and represent a sea-change in Western legal theory. Not that Western legal institutions do not routinely violate the principles of legal fairness, sometimes called 'natural justice'. But the Yugoslav and Rwandan Tribunals take these violations of principle (such as the independence of judges from prosecutors, the guarantee of trial by a jury of one's peers, habeas corpus, and the right of defense councils to cross-examine witnesses) and enshrine them as Legal Theory. In some ways the Rwandan Tribunal is even worse than the Yugoslav Tribunal because the Rwandan Tribunal operates on Rwandan soil and helps consolidate the power of the pro-US Tutsi regime over the militarily defeated Hutus. MR. SVILANOVICH HAS A GAME PLAN It is revealing that Goran Svilanovich, the newly installed Foreign Minister of Yugoslavia, refers to the Rwandan Tribunal when he describes his plans for Yugoslavia: "But like Kostunica, Mr. Svilanovic would favor 'truth commissions' of experts here 'to examine and collect evidence of war crimes by those allegedly defending the Serbian nation but also those who committed crimes against Serbs, to present the facts to the people here, to raise awareness.' Some of that evidence might come from The Hague tribunal, he said. "Only then would he favor a trial. On the precedent of Rwanda, he said: ''We can find a way to do it here, on Yugoslav territory, with the participation of The Hague tribunal.''' (our emphasis, 'NY Times', 11-20-2000) Foreign Minister Svilanovich is a pupil of US foreign policy operatives like Madeline Albright and Robert Gelbard. (3) His comments on the Rwandan Tribunal reveal the thinking of his Masters. First the U.S. leaders foment civil conflict. Then they use phony War Crimes Tribunals to crush those who resist colonial rule. Thus the purpose of the War Crimes Tribunal on Yugoslavia is not to attack all Serbian leaders. Rather, it is to crush those leaders who resist. Little quislings like Mr. Svilanovich are safe from harm as long as they behave, and serve their Masters. THE EXQUISITE DIFFICULTY OF SERVING But this may be easier said than done. The goals of U.S. and German Imperial Beings are defined not by principle but by position: they want the greatest possible control of the Balkans, Africa, everything. Give them an arm, they will demand your leg. Their watchword is: MORE. If the Tribunal does succeed in setting up shop in Belgrade, that is, if Yugoslav (and worldwide!) popular hatred for the Tribunal does not succeed in stopping it, NATO will attempt, with the help of their Belgrade quislings, to hunt down those who have resisted and/or who currently resist NATO rule. The Tribunal may initially avoid the big names (Miloshevich, Mladich, Karajich) in order to prevent a confrontation with the Yugoslav army, most of whose officers and soldiers are patriots who loathe NATO. They may instead nibble away at the small fry of resistance, the unsung heroes, thus attempting to establish the Tribunal's de facto legitimacy and demoralize its opponents. The Tribunal may use the infinitely flexible 'secret list' of war crimes suspects as a herding tool, like an electric cattle prod. For example, people

Find this difficult to believe - and we are told water costs more than oil? Well, I remember King Faisal before he was murdered, said Americans paid more for a pepsi than they did same amount of oil. Why not?

So anyway, if we have peace in the middle east now, what do we do when hey have war, as I sit herre using my new solar operated calculator, new solar powered battery recharger, new solar powered heater in house I see across the street - too bad I just bought a new a/c with gas furnace, and I see now all kinds of things, like toys being used and maintained by solar energy?

Smart Money is going into Solar Energy and New Energy...and I also like my batteries being recharged by solar energy New Amtraks go 150 mph now - and this is the re if they can find someone sober enough to drive the things without wrecking. Someday arab leaders will know the value of a good glass of artesian well water.cold, with ice cubesprefer that on a hot day to a drink of that horrible black stuff that causes cancer anway. And we have corn oil, soy oil, and all thdifferent oils and we have wheat..or at least we did have or did Kissinger corner market on that too Viva American Farmers and Solar Power to the People and we will have peace in Holy Land.so now they got to figure out, how to corner market on the sun?

To receive MER regularly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] OIL AND PETRODOLLARS MID-EAST REALITIES - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 12/12: OIL is the big prize of the Middle East. Petro Dollars flow from it. The American economy floats on what remains an amazingly cheap and huge supply of it. After all, even now, oil that is pumped in the Middle East, shipped around the world, refined, heavily taxed, and trucked to gasoline stations, continues to cost Americans not much more than a gallon of bottled water! No wonder the Western countries prefer to pump Arab and third-world oil for their current needs rather than their own. The Arab people benefit little from their oil; wile the Arab oil families, the Gulf Arab "client regimes" literally bank on it. The lesson of the 70s was learned when shortly after King Feisal attempted an oil embargo he was assassinated. The regimes maintain themselves in power, and in the money, by using the huge wealth provided by the black gold to purchase everything in sight -- a steady supply of whores, both sexual and political; journalists; organizations; politicians; publications. In recent years since the Gulf War the Saudis have in fact been "convinced" to increase the role of Western oil companies, not to mention the American military and CIA, in the affairs of "the Kingdom". And to this mix that it is Western banks that soak up the recycled petro dollars, and Western arms merchants who cash in for their yearly multi-billions. The British recognized the great importance of the coming oil era way back in the days of Lawrence and Allenby. The Americans took control of the region after World War II because of it. Israel was at first a questionable addition to this mix, partly accounting for Secretary of State George Marshall's vehement opposition to U.S. support for its creation, which in fact came very close to bringing about his resignation. But today, thanks to the divisions and weaknesses of the Arab world, caused by the very oil regimes the West created and maintains, Israel is today America's closest partner in perpetuating these "client regimes" and maintaining the status quo.

[CTRL] Yemeni President Says Israel May Be USS Cole Bombers
Sunday December 10, 12:01 pm Eastern TimePress Release SOURCE: Newsweek Exclusive: Interview with Ali Abdullah Saleh President of Yemen Saleh 'Can't Confirm' Bin Laden Was Behind Cole Blast; Says Israel or Regional Intelligence Agency Could Have Been Involved Suspects Arrested by Yemen 'Transited' Afghanistan at Some Point NEW YORK, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh tells Newsweek in the current issue that investigators probing the bombing of the USS Cole ``can't confirm'' that terrorist kingpin Osama bin Laden ordered the blast. ``Is it bin Laden, Israeli intelligence or someone else?'' he tells Contributing Editor Lally Weymouth in the December 18 issue. ``We are still saying it might be Israel or a regional intelligence agency -- those who are trying to spoil the U.S.-Yemeni relationship.''President Saleh says while investigators ``can't confirm'' Israel had anything to do with the October blast, they are ``wondering.'' ``I didn't say Israel did it, but Israel might be involved in such incidents. We have an attitude against Israel because it is against the peace process. Most of the Arabs try to please or flatter Israel, but in Yemen we do not flatter Israel,'' he says.Saleh says his security forces are still searc! hing for Muhammed Omar al-Harazi, who allegedly gave instructions to the two people who died in the suicide mission. ``He's the main suspect who funded the operation and paid for the safe houses in Aden. He's the mastermind, but we believe someone else was behind him. If we arrest him, he'll tell us the links to the others.'' He adds that ``We can say with 80 percent certainty that the perpetrators of the operation were born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, but are of Yemeni origin and were trained in Afghanistan.'' Six suspects are already in custody.Newsweek interviews with senior Yemeni and U.S. officials also reveal that the suspects arrested by Yemen ``transited'' Afghanistan at some point before the bombing, indicating that bin Laden may have orchestrated, or at least supported the attack. Correspondent-at-Large Rod Nordland and Investigative Correspondent Mark Hosenball report that one of the suicide bombers was arrested for pl! otting a terrorist attack, shortly after returning from a visit to Afghanistan in 1999. And at least two of the suspects in custody have alleged links to bin Laden's organization. ``We think the Cole terrorists have strong links with Afghanistan and we can say, yes, there are links with bin Laden,'' Yemen's Interior Minister Hussein Arab tells Newsweek.Yemen's President also clarifies a recent agreement with Washington which allows the FBI to participate in the Yemeni investigation. Saleh tells Newsweek in the current issue (on newsstands Monday, December 11) that under the accord, U.S. investigators can sit in with Yemeni investigators and can pass questions to Yemeni officials to pose, but they cannot be alone with a Yemeni suspect. Saleh also ruled out extraditing any suspects to the U.S. for trial, saying ``Extradition of suspects is not allowed under our Constitution.'' Asked whether witnesses would be allowed to travel to t! he U.S. to testify in a case, he said a trial would be held in January in Yemen and ``we will follow all constitutional and legal measures'' to make that determination.Looking to the upcoming election in Israel, Saleh also says he thinks it would be better if Benjamin Netanyahu became the next Israeli leader. ``We used to say [Ehud] Barak is better, but he's not straightforward and does not have good intentions. Netanyahu is rude, but he's clear and straightforward. He's better than Barak. I expect he will win.'' (Article attached. Read Newsweek's news releasesat http://www.Newsweek.MSNBC.com.

[CTRL] Scalia Prejudges!
With Scalia leading the way, Supreme Court commits a blunder By Thomas Oliphant, Globe Columnist, 12/11/2000 WASHINGTON A LITTLE civil disobedience toward Justice Antonin Scalia is in order in advance of today's US Supreme Court argument on a case he suggests has already been decided in advance. His flat-out factual misstatements can wait. The first task is to flout his insistence that the country not find out who received the most votes in Florida last month on the hilarious grounds that this might undercut the legitimacy of ! the court's de facto selection of the candidate for president who probably got fewer votes.As an authoritarian more than a conservative, Scalia's position warping long-established rules of court procedure is that ''irreparable harm'' would take the form of a ''cloud.''It's not hard to defy his wishes. No one disputes the fact that 185,000 Florida ballots were found by county officials or tabulating machines not to contain an automatically discernible preference for president. A large majority of them - roughly 120,000 - were so-called overvotes, with more than one candidate getting a clear mark; no one disputes that, either.The remainder, around 65,000 ballots, represented so-called undervotes, with no candidate getting an immediately discernible vote. Many of these are genuine blanks, representing an ''I ain't votin' for nobody'' sentiment. But many were votes that can be discerned, usually quite easily, by looking at them. This! is what the big argument is all about.As it turns out, The Miami Herald made it simple to thumb one's nose at Scalia eight days ago. With the assistance of its former chief data analyzer and now Arizona State professor, Stephen Doig, the paper applied varying percentages of actual vote assumptions to the results as of Nov. 7 in every one of Florida's 5,885 precincts.If you go from one extreme assumption about the voters' intent in these 185,000 ballots to the other, it doesn't matter - Al Gore wins. To take the absurd proposition that 90 percent of these ballots were actually meant to be blanks, the vice president still comes out ahead statewide, by 1,443 votes. To take the equally absurd proposition that all of them were intended as a vote for somebody, Gore wins by 23,408 votes.But take a more reasonable assumption - that one out of four uncounted ballots was a true plague-on-all-houses blank, and Gore still has roughly 17! ,000 more votes.This is only the tip of a counting iceberg that awaits the five-justice Titanic that ordered the diligent efforts by Floridians crudely shut down Saturday. The Miami Herald is ready to examine every vote in Miami-Dade County as soon as the ballots are available. In other words, the ballots are going to be counted, and we are going to know with reasonable confidence what the result was. The only question is whether the ballots will be counted only for history, or whether they will count for real.The other element of Scalia's tortured concurring view that may or may not reflect the views of his four colleagues in the majority who chose not to sign on to his screed, involves his preposterous assertion that George W. Bush would be ''irreparably harmed'' by a recount on an ''erroneous basis'' now that would prevent an ''accurate'' recount on a ''proper basis'' later.This monstrosity is exposed simply by reporting it: S! calia says it is ''generally agreed'' that each manual recount causes ''degradation'' of the ballots. It is typical of his judicial intemperance that he assumes as true some of the very facts in contention. His focus on the concept of ''irreparable harm'' stems from its status as one of the two grounds for granting the kind of stay that Bush won. We should respect that one of them was satisfied - namely, the court's view that there is a substantial probability that Bush's case will prevail this week on the merits.But the other has been crudely warped by the majority. The concept of stay traditionally has been issued for something like loss of life, or a home, or a business, before one's legal case can be heard. In this case, Scalia claims it involves harm to Bush, which in a true stretch he extends to ''the country'' - that knowing the count's results would cast that aforementioned cloud over ''his election,'' thus assuming a! s true still more facts in dispute.The issuance of the stay could more accurately be said to cause irreparable harm to Gore. After all, any certification of a recount result favoring him can be stayed pending the court's substantive decision, as the court of appeals in Atlanta wisely ordered before the Supremes blundered in.The full court could still pull back from its intemperance. Meanwhile, in the guise of playing Big Brother to protect us from the cloud that is truth, Scalia has made that cloud much bigger and blacker.Thomas Oliphant's e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED].This story ran on page A15 of the Boston Globe on 12/11/2000.
[CTRL] US Supreme Court embraces a century-old legacy of racism and reaction
US Supreme Court embraces a century-old legacy of racism and reaction By Don Knowland Editor's note: The following article was written before the Supreme Court halted the counting of votes in Florida. That development, in our view, has only underscored the correctness of the analysis made by the author. On December 4 the US Supreme Court vacated a decision of the Florida Supreme Court ordering Secretary of State Katherine Harris to extend the deadline for certifying the Florida election result in order to allow a manual count of ballots. The US high court directed the Florida Court to clarify the extent to which its ruling in the Harris case had relied on sections of the Florida state constitution. Those sections provide that all political power is inherent in the people—that the people are sovereign—and that elections shall be determined by popular vote. The US Supreme Court sought clarification not to promote these fundamental democratic principles. On the contrary, the US high court suggested that applying them would infringe the prerogative of the Florida legislature, granted under Article II of the US Constitution, to determine the manner of selecting Florida's presidential electors. The US high court purported to find its support for this startling position in a single case, McPherson v. Blacker, which was decided by the US Supreme Court in 1892. According to the Court in the McPherson case, the state legislatures have plenary (complete) power to determine their state's presidential electors, a power with which the people of the states or their state constitutions cannot interfere. At the hearing of the Florida Supreme Court on December 7 to consider Gore's appeal of the denial of his contest of the election by Florida Circuit Court Judge N. Sanders Sauls, some of the Florida justices were plainly cowed by the US Supreme Court's warning. Gore's lawyer David Boies had barely opened his mouth when Chief Justice Wells questioned whether the Florida Supreme Court even had jurisdiction to hear Gore's appeal of Judge Saul's ruling. Wells worried out loud whether the Florida Court would be in troubled constitutional waters if it relied on the general appellate power granted it by the Florida Constitution to hear the case, given that the Florida legislature had not expressly stated in a statute that an election contest decision could be appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. Such a view would essentially ignore the historical role of the judiciary as the final arbiter and interpreter of what state law is in a presidential election, a power that is a fundamental underpinning of the American tradition of the rule of law. Even Bush's lawyers would not go that far in the December 7 hearing, conceding that an appeal to the Florida Supreme Court in a presidential election contest was proper. Taking the plenary power rule of the McPherson case to its logical extension raises a more immediate threat to popular sovereignty. If the Florida high court ultimately declares Gore the winner in Florida, can Florida's legislature ignore that ruling, and the popular will, and decide to seat electors committed to Bush? This is precisely what the Florida Republican-controlled legislature is threatening to do in a special session. If the Florida legislature does not do that, could, for example, the Republican-controlled legislature in Michigan, a state that voted for Gore, then decide to certify Bush electors to ensure his election? The McPherson case was decided by one of the most reactionary Supreme Courts in US history. It is a court that stood for unfettered rights of business, and against any governmental regulation of capital or the market. It is also the same court that decided the infamous case, Plessy v. Ferguson, where the court held constitutional the “separate but equal” treatment of black citizens, a rule that sanctioned and fostered Jim Crow segregation (and which survived unscathed until the US Supreme Court's seminal 1954 decision overturning school segregation in Brown v. Board of Education). McPherson's absolutist view of the power of state legislatures was profoundly anti-democratic and legally specious, both as a matter of the original understanding of the founders of the Constitution, and in light of the substantial guarantees of democratic rights, including the right to an equal vote, embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, which was enacted following the Civil War. The centrality of voting rights was further solidified in other constitutional amendments this century, and elaborated in a series of US Supreme Court decisions starting in the 1940s. For the present US high court to reach back to the reactionary McPherson decision, itself issued by a reactionary court, and without considering the development of democratic rights subsequent to the McPherson case, speaks volumes about the hostility to democratic principles within a substantial and growing faction within the American
[CTRL] Cover-ups and withholding ballot information: same old Republican tricks
Cover-ups and withholding ballot information: same old Republican tricks By Carla Binion December 12, 2000 | Sociologist Max Weber once said that the first line of defense of any bureaucracy is the withholding of information. George W. Bush's team includes some of his dad's cronies, such as James Baker, George Schultz, and Richard Thornberg. None of them are strangers to withholding information as a means of defending corruption.It makes sense that the Bush team now argues against counting the ballots. They have long favored secrecy over disclosure.George H. W. Bush was CIA Director in the mid-1970s. The CIA, and George W.'s dad, are no strangers to rigged elections—in Third World countries.In 1984, when Manuel Noriega chose Nicolas Barletta to be Panama's president, the Reagan/Bush administration knew the election was rigged, that ballot boxes were stuffed, and that documents were falsified. ( Imperial Alibis, Stephen R. Shalom, South End Press, 1993.)Under Reagan/Bush, the U. S. government funneled money to Barletta's campaign. Following the vote fraud, U. S. aid to Panama grew from $12 million to $75 million. After the "election," Reagan invited Barletta to the White House to congratulate him on his win. (Imperial Alibis.)Secretary of State George Schultz, adviser to George W. in Campaign 2000, attended Barletta's inauguration and lauded Panama's "democratization." (Unreliable Sources, Norman Solomon and Martin A. Lee, Carol Publishing Group, 1992.)Bush team adviser and daddy-Bush crony, James Baker, said recently that the team is not trying to "run out the clock" regarding ballot counting. However, Baker was part of the Reagan administration when the Reagan/Bush crew used delay tactics to evade responsibility for Iran-contra.Remember how George H. W. Bush got away with his Iran-contra misdeeds? Reagan's attorney general, Richard Thornburgh (another current member of George W.'s team), claimed that certain Iran-contra evidence—including names and locations that had already been published in the press—were government secrets too sensitive to reveal in court. Independent prosecutor Lawrence Walsh called them "fictional secrets." In addition, the Reagan-Bush team stonewalled endlessly. They delayed releasing critical records to the court and hid personal notes. (Blank Check, Tim Weiner, 1990.)Journalist Tim Weiner says that by hiding key evidence behind a cloak of government secrecy "the Justice Department drove a stake into the heart of the criminal cases against North, Poindexter and Secord. It effectively prevented the independent prosecutor appointed to try the cases from functioning independently." (Blank Check, Weiner.)George H. W. Bush participated in a cover-up again after he became president by arbitrarily pardoning his cronies. CNN political analyst William Schneider said Bush pardoned his political allies "for illegal activities in which he himself may have been implicated." (Lawrence Walsh, Firewall, 1997.)Recently Supreme Court members (some appointed by George W.'s dad) stopped the ballot recount. Reagan appointee, Justice Antonin Scalia, said counting the votes might harm Bush by "casting a cloud" on his legitimacy.That is not the first time in recent history that the Supreme Court ruled against the public's right to know. When Public Citizen filed a Freedom of Information Act request to examine a domestic CIA operation, MKULTRA, the CIA refused to release the documents. In 1985, the Supreme Court ruled for the CIA. The Court held that "Congress vested in the Director of Central Intelligence very broad authority to protect all sources of intelligence information from disclosure." (A Culture of Secrecy, Athan G. Theoharis, University Press of Kansas, 1998.)A Bush win will always appear illegitimate unless the votes are counted. The public already knows enough about the Bush team's history, tactics and values to raise questions about the candidate's legitimacy. For example:(1) We know that certain Bush team members have no particular respect for the law, considering their participation in, and cover-up of, their Iran-contra involvement.(2) We know that some Bush team members (and certain members of the CIA) have little love for democracy—at least not for democracy in Third World countries.The question is, do those members of the Bush team respect American election law and American democracy? Do they see any difference between elections and democracy in the Third World and in our own? And, one more question that has been asked repeatedly but never answered honestly—why doesn't the Bush team want the ballots recounted unless they are afraid Gore won? http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/Binion121200/binion121200.html

Campare with the U.S. Election - No Fraud in Estonia An Assessment of the Election to Riigikogu and the Presidency Republic of Estonia Christopher S. Siddall, Paul Wilder, Dr. Peter Schramm September 16-24, 1992 The International Foundation for Electoral Systems' (IFES) technical team present in Estonia for the September 20, 1992, elections determined that the elections in the areas visited by the team were credible and FREE FROM MAJOR IRREGULARITIES. Forty-eight polling sites were visited in Kloogaranna, Paldiski, Keila, Rummu, Arukula, Juri, Padise, Seljakula, Linnamae, Purski, Soderby, Hullo, Kersleti, Haapsalu, Palivere, Risti, Riisipere, Laagri, Raasiku, Kehra, Kuusalu, Haljala, Aseri, Kohtla-Järve, Kivioli, Rakvere and throughout Tallinn. Minor infractions resulted from inexperience with multi-party elections and a new election system. Minor irregularities included instances of more than one person voting in a booth and failure of some voters to keep their vote secret. Other items of note included a long "preliminary" voting period of two weeks before September 20 which may have led to concerns about ballot security among members of the electorate. There was also a lack of standardization of election materials and methods of vote counting. There was some irritation on the part of the voters and embarrassment from polling site officials at incomplete voter lists and ensuing difficulties. However, arrangements were made at the vast majority of polling sites outside Tallinn for a representative of the citizenship authority to be present to make rulings on citizenship and place late registrants on the list. When making decisions on citizenship, officials appeared to be operating with limited information with regard to regulations, but to be fulfilling their duties in good faith
[CTRL] Fwd: No End in Sight
As Gore contests the Florida vote right up to the witching hour of December 12th, "deadline" for the choice to be made by Florida's electors, the rules of the game are again being bent, even further, if not broken altogether. Democratic-party lawyers are prepared to argue (all the way back up to the Supreme Court, if necessary!) that the December 12th cutoff date is not "really" a cutoff date ... It's Clinton-Gore deja vu all over again -- "is" doesn't REALLY mean "is" in this case, for these relativistic ultra-loose constructionists of the (ha!) rule of "law." But, if the US Supreme Court drags its feet, even December 18th may not provide the outcome which supporters of Gore's post-election campaign are dreaming of ... so be prepared to watch Democrat lawyers try to suspend the "orderly transition" process until early JANUARY -- as indicated in the news item reprinted below ... Even then, if Gore STILL doesn't win the victory which his yuppie (generational?) sense of entitlement tells him he "deserves," I'm sure Demo shysters can come up with even more sweeping legal sophistries to support their argument that the NEXT cutoff date --January 20th, inauguration day for the next president-- is "unfair" to Al's "divine right" to rule and can with impunity be completely ignored until the neverending story is over, clearly and definitively, and "fairly" (in Gore's own mind, anyway). If you can't win by the rules (imperfect as they certainly are), damn the rules as unfair -- any rules, ALL rules -- excoriating every body doubting your "entitlement" as "partisan" (unlike you) and "conspiring against you" -- until you finally get your way.. This week, the covers of both Newsweek AND the US News and World Report tell the story: "CHAOS." Gore's Quixotic quest for "justice" has done more to undermine the people's faith in the vote, canvassing boards, state courts and the SUPREME Court, by bitterly and publicly accusing ALL these "hostile" institutions (formal or informal) of "government" as being ultimately subservient to no principle but partisan power-lust, than any Marxist-Leninist debunking of "democracy." Gee, thanks, Al! You've shown all the nobility of Hitler in his bunker contemplating the sacrifice of his megalomaniac ambitions. If you can't win, make EVERYONE ELSE lose -- take 'em down with you ... No end in sight -- no matter who (for example, the 51% of the American people who don't like Al Gore) or what (every institution of our government) it hurts, apparently. This particular battle, in the courts, is just about over, but the Gore War isn't ended by a long shot. The next battlefield is going to be on Capitol Hill. While the Supreme Court tarries, the State of Florida will undoubtedly appoint electors who will throw their vote to George W Bush. But Gore supporters in Congress have already announced their intention to "steal the vote" for their party by using any means necessary to get a few Florida electors to betray their trust, casting their votes for Gore instead. Bush supporters in Congress have already stated that they will respond in kind, with respect to electors in other states where Gore has a narrow lead. The court battles have all but run their course. Now, apparently, it's open season for "dirty tricks" in the legislative branch of the federal government. Stay tuned. It'll only get uglier ... If Florida's electors side with Bush, Democratic lawmakers in Congress will move to have the Florida vote AS A WHOLE excluded from the electoral count. Republican legislators will certainly oppose such a motion --in effect disenfranchising ALL voters in one state, because 1% of 1% of them dared not to vote for Al Gore-- but both the House and Senate are already deadlocked in partisanship and NEITHER side will prevail here. As that controversy drags on -- well into January, a month hence-- the federal legislature will simply have no choice but to elect a "provisional" president to preside, appropriately, over this de-legitimized, quickly unravelling "provisional" government being gutted by a "constitutional crisis" in every area, on every level -- right down to fistfights breaking out among legislators on the very floor of Congress. Yes, folks -- I fear it's indeed "amok time" for the ordinarily polished and persuasive reptiloid predators (most of them, no surprise, lawyers!) licking their chops in the carcass of our so-called "government." "Anywhere else in the world," declared one pundit on MS-NBC this evening, "the military would decide the outcome of this election." But, lucky for us, this is America, a "democracy," governed by "the rule of law." ...

Or why not give duelling pistols to George and Al and let them work out who's president-elect the manly, old-fashioned way? (Hey, it was good enough for Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.) Deadlocked Vote Solved by Drawing By JOHN FLESHER .c The Associated Press FIFE LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - There were no complaints about chads - hanging, pregnant or otherwise. No threats of lawsuits. No spinmeisters or chanting demonstrators. Republican challenger Marianne ``Toni'' Larson and Democratic incumbent Dave Stremlow drew slips of paper from a small pine box Monday to break a 297-297 tie in the not-so-hard-fought race for supervisor of Fife Lake Township. The victor: Larson, whose slip read ``Elected.'' (The loser's slip read ``Not Elected.'') ``This is so bizarre,'' the 66-year-old Larson said, displaying her winning lot for news photographers. ``But this election process does work.'' Stremlow, 70, shook Larson's hand, wished her luck and left. A retired autoworker who was seeking a second four-year term, Stremlow initially thought he had squeaked to a one-vote victory. The election night count Nov. 7 produced a result of 297-296. Larson requested a hand recount, which resulted in a deadlock. A bipartisan group of inspectors agreed that the optical scanning voting machine had erroneously rejected a ballot marked for her. State law prescribes a drawing to settle ties. Another drawing is scheduled for Thursday in the Upper Peninsula, where both candidates for clerk of Alger County's Onota Township received 94 votes. Janelle Snyder had been declared the winner by two votes over Mary Hanson and sworn into office before a recount changed the outcome. In Grand Traverse County, where Fife Lake is located, county clerk Linda Coburn said she could recall one other drawing in a local election more than a decade ago. But there was considerably less interest back then. The contrast between the orderly, civil resolution of the Fife Lake Township contest and the convoluted, bitter presidential slugfest was hard to miss. ``We're doing things the right way up here,'' said Cindy Williams, a nurse at the medical center in Fife Lake, a village so small it has no traffic light. ``I'm so tired of that Florida business.'' The rural township, which includes the village, has a population of about 1,500. It is 250 miles northwest of Detroit in the forested northwestern corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. A one-time logging town, it is now a bedroom community for nearby cities and is becoming popular with retirees. The lake for which the village is named is ringed by fishing cabins. Larson served as township clerk the last eight years, keeping records and handling the payroll. The part-time supervisor's post, which pays $6,500, deals more with policy. By all accounts, the race was friendly - and low-budget. Larson figures she spent about $50 to produce and distribute a flier. ``They're both good people,'' said Susan Chastney, who succeeds Larson as clerk. ``I'd have been happy with either one.'' Might George W. Bush and Al Gore have done the country a favor by resolving things as easily? ``Amen to that,'' Larson said with a laugh. ``We could probably count and recount and protest and what have you, but the law is the law, and this is what we go by.''
[CTRL] Fwd: The Cops Framed Ed Lee Elmore/Death Penalty Case
NYT December 12, 2000 Old Evidence Resurfaces, Unsettling '82 Murder By RAYMOND BONNER REENWOOD, S.C., Dec. 7 A grisly crime shocked this small town nearly 19 years ago. A 75-year-old widow, Dorothy Ely Edwards, who grew up riding horses, studied music in college and took up painting in her 50's, was raped and murdered, stabbed 52 times, her body, clothed only in her robe, dumped in her bedroom closet. It took the police only a few days to arrest a suspect Edward Lee Elmore, 23, one of 11 children, who had grown up in poverty, dropped out of school in the fifth grade and washed the windows at Mrs. Edwards's house a couple of weeks before she was murdered. Mr. Elmore was arrested and quickly convicted and has been on death row for 18 years. But on Dec. 21 his lawyers will seek a third trial, contending that their client is a victim of prosecutorial misconduct. This time, the defense has what it considers a powerful weapon in its arsenal: new DNA evidence from hairs that had been found on Mrs. Edwards's body. The chief forensic investigator had said repeatedly over the years that the hair samples had been lost; two years ago, under pressure from the defendant's lawyers and the state attorney general, he found them in his file cabinet. They had probably been there all the time, an assistant attorney general said in a deposition last month. Mr. Elmore's lawyers contend that tests of the samples, filed with the court on Dec. 4, prove that Dorothy Edwards was killed by someone other than Mr. Elmore. For all its local elements, the Elmore case is typical of many capital cases around the country, said John Blume, a veteran death penalty defense lawyer in Columbia, S.C., who has worked on Mr. Elmore's appeal. The defendant is black, the victim white, and Mr. Elmore's court-appointed lawyers were underpaid and inexperienced. Above all, Mr. Blume said, there are the allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. The state attorney general's office declined to comment and the state would not allow the investigator who had the hair evidence in his file cabinet to be interviewed. The director of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, Robert M. Stewart, said in an interview that he did not know whether the investigator's failure to find it before was "an intentional, criminal act, or some administrative mistake." At the heart of the case are hair samples discovered at the scene of the crime. Some the ones that subsequently disappeared were found on Mrs. Edwards's body by investigators, who contended at the time that they had come from a black man. But the new DNA tests show that some of the hairs were Mrs. Edwards's, while others belonged to someone else a someone else who was white. In Mr. Elmore's two previous trials (the first conviction was overturned on appeal), investigators also testified that they had found 45 hairs on the bed that they said had been yanked from the defendant by Mrs. Edwards during a struggle. Mr. Elmore's lawyers claim that these hairs were planted. The defense lawyers note that the police found no other evidence on the bed, like blood or seminal stains, that might have been expected in a violent struggle. The hairs found under Mrs. Edwards's fingernails were from a Caucasian, the state and the defense agree. The defense lawyers also point out that the sheets were described only as "wrinkled" by a neighbor, the first person on the scene. The police took no photographs of the bed, saying later it was "an oversight." The defense lawyers also dispute the time of death, saying the state set it on Saturday evening, when Mr. Elmore had no strong alibi. Some evidence points strongly to Sunday, they contend, when he was with family members in neighboring Abbeville County. The medical examiner in the Elmore case, Dr. Sandra E. Conradi, relied heavily on what she was told by the police in setting the time of death, she said in her testimony. In a recent interview, Dr. Conradi declined to discuss her conclusions. But, she said, "If there's DNA evidence to indicate this guy's innocent, he ought to be set free." In 1995, in a postconviction review of Mr. Elmore's case, Judge J. Ernest Kinard Jr. ruled against all of the defense lawyers' claims. Now, in light of the DNA findings, Mr. Elmore's lawyers say that Judge Kinard, who will hear Mr. Elmore's request for a new trial, should investigate the state's conduct in the case, as should the Justice Department. On one thing, the defense agrees with the state: it was an extraordinarily violent crime. In January 1982, someone entered Mrs. Edwards's home through the kitchen door presumably somebody she knew, the police concluded, because there was no evidence of forced entry. Robbery does not appear to have been the motive. A large diamond ring and other valuable jewelry were untouched in the bedroom, and antique silver was also left behind, the police report says. Mrs. Edwards's body was found by her next-door neighbor of 36 years, James

To receive MER regularly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] OIL AND PETRODOLLARS MID-EAST REALITIES - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 12/12: OIL is the big prize of the Middle East. Petro Dollars flow from it. The American economy floats on what remains an amazingly cheap and huge supply of it. After all, even now, oil that is pumped in the Middle East, shipped around the world, refined, heavily taxed, and trucked to gasoline stations, continues to cost Americans not much more than a gallon of bottled water! No wonder the Western countries prefer to pump Arab and third-world oil for their current needs rather than their own. The Arab people benefit little from their oil; wile the Arab oil families, the Gulf Arab "client regimes" literally bank on it. The lesson of the 70s was learned when shortly after King Feisal attempted an oil embargo he was assassinated. The regimes maintain themselves in power, and in the money, by using the huge wealth provided by the black gold to purchase everything in sight -- a steady supply of whores, both sexual and political; journalists; organizations; politicians; publications. In recent years since the Gulf War the Saudis have in fact been "convinced" to increase the role of Western oil companies, not to mention the American military and CIA, in the affairs of "the Kingdom". And to this mix that it is Western banks that soak up the recycled petro dollars, and Western arms merchants who cash in for their yearly multi-billions. The British recognized the great importance of the coming oil era way back in the days of Lawrence and Allenby. The Americans took control of the region after World War II because of it. Israel was at first a questionable addition to this mix, partly accounting for Secretary of State George Marshall's vehement opposition to U.S. support for its creation, which in fact came very close to bringing about his resignation. But today, thanks to the divisions and weaknesses of the Arab world, caused by the very oil regimes the West created and maintains, Israel is today America's closest partner in perpetuating these "client regimes" and maintaining the status quo. IRAN, LIBYA, OIL COMPANIES HOPE FOR GOP WIN By John K. Cooley A T H E N S, Greece, Dec. 11, ABC News Middle East oil producers Iran and Libya, still under U.S. sanctions, and American oil companies prevented from working there by those sanctions hope fervently for a Bush-Cheney victory in the tortuous U.S. presidential election process. Oil industry and government sources in the Middle East believe that an administration headed by Republican George W. Bush and his running mate, Dick Cheney, would be able to stabilize world oil prices, and also might end remaining oil sanctions against both Iran and Libya. If Bush wins, Muhammad-Javad Larajani, a former Iranian diplomat, told reporters in Tehran last week, it will be certain that oil companies will have more liberty to conclude contracts with Iran. It is preferable for us, and it is possible that oil sanctions against Iran will be lifted, said Larajani, who has conducted past negotiations with the United States and is close to Irans supreme spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Resumption of Relations? Both Bush and Cheney have worked in the oil industry. Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton Oil Services and has a network of senior contacts in the Middle East. Earlier this year, he called on the Clinton administration to allow American oil companies to resume business in Iran by ending sanctions. Larajani said Bush and Cheney, if sworn in as president and vice president, could bring a small change in U.S. policies in the Middle East because the Democrats are much closer to the Zionist lobby than the Republicans. Larajani said Tehran could re-establish diplomatic relations with

12.12.00 Proof Bush did NOT win Fla Popular Vote!/FWD NewsHawk® Inc. ±±± http://www.mindspring.com/~shields/bushneverwon/RedFlagsInFlorida.htm 57 Red Flags -- Proof Bush Did Not Win the Popular Vote in Florida Irregularities, strategic voting hindrances, illegal ballots, intimidation, collusion, obstruction... Nice way to be a "uniter, not a divider"! What's going on? There are so many anomalies now that the probability of simple coincidence or bad luck is dwindling down to nothing. On Election Day, November 7, some strange things happened in Florida. Let's put the puzzle pieces together. Early Calls 1) Major pre-election polls had Gore leading in Florida the night of Nov. 6. (http://www.zogby.com/features/featuredtables.dbm?ID=30#Anchor-Florid-922) (http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001106/ts/election_leadall_dc_11.html) 2) On Election Day, November 7, Voter News Service correctly predicted through exit polls that matched with early results that Gore won the state of Florida by a safe margin of 5%. At 7:53PM VNS issued the bulletin: FLORIDA PRESIDENT RACE -- GORE WINS. The networks immediately called the state for Gore. (http://www.herald.com/content/tue/business/florida/digdocs/045599.htm) 3) A mortified Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida, shortly thereafter left his family in Austin to make some calls. Then George W., after consulting with his advisors including his brother Jeb, called reporters to his hotel suite and told them the networks had made a mistake in calling Florida. "I'm upbeat," he said. At 10:13PM the networks recalled the state and put it back into the "too close to call" column. (http://www.herald.com/content/tue/business/florida/digdocs/045599.htm) 4) At 2:18 AM the networks began declaring George W. Bush the president. They had done so after Fox News called Florida. Who made the decision to incorrectly call Florida for Bush over at Fox, thereby creating the lasting myth that Bush won? John Ellis, who also happens to be George W. Bush's first cousin. (http://www.salon.com/politics/feature/2000/11/15/ellis/index.html) Irregularities -- Palm Beach County 5) An illegal ballot design (the infamous "butterfly ballot") confused many residents of Palm Beach County into undervoting, overvoting, or accidentally voting for Pat Buchanan. Regarding the spin about how it's because they are stupid old people: voters started complaining about this at 7:05 AM on Election Day. DNC HQ calls were jammed due to the high volume of calls. Rep. Robert Wexler, the local Congressional Representative, received a deluge of calls, and on Election Day, even VP Candidate Joseph Lieberman called the local office to see what was going on down there. The elections supervisor issued a warning midway through the day warning people of the confusion. (http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/politics/AP-Florida-Ballot-Confusion.html) (http://www.salon.com/politics/feature/2000/11/09/lapore/index.html) (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/daily/detail/0,1136,360123102,00.html) 6) The odds that all those Palm Beach County residents voted for Buchanan intentionally rather than Gore is approximately a trillion to one. Statistical models bear this out when you compare them to the Buchanan vote in other counties. Looking at any graph you see a huge, disproportionate spike in Buchanan votes. Pat Buchanan himself agrees that the majority of these votes were not cast for him. (http://www.bestbookmarks.com/election) (http://madison.hss.cmu.edu/) 7) Many Palm Beach county voters who mis-voted but caught it immediately and asked for another ballot were told they could not have another ballot by poll workers, in violation of county rules. (NPR, 11/10/00) 8) Socialist Party candidate David McReynolds received abnormally high vote totals in Palm Beach County. His name appears directly below Buchanan's name on the butterfly ballot, in a position that could potentially draw erroneous votes from Democratic votes. McReynolds received 302 votes in PBC. Statewide, in the other 66 counties, he received 316 votes combined. McReynolds got virtually as many votes in Palm Beach County as he did in the entire rest of the state of Florida...nearly 50% of the statewide total! (http://www.bestbookmarks.com/election) 9) After the handcounts were completed, after using a stricter standard than neighboring Broward County, the deadline was missed by an hour or two. Could the count have been delayed because of stall tactics used by overzealous GOP observers? (http://www.globe.com/dailyglobe2/324/nation/Democrats_accuse_GOP_of_stalling_for_time+.shtml) Irregularities -- Miami-Dade County 10) Miami-Dade has a recent history of election fraud. In 1998, Mayor elect Xavier Suarez was stripped of his election victory by a Florida appeals court, reinstating Joe Carollo as mayor of Miami, finding that massive fraud had robbed him of victory at the polls four months prior. A trial court judge had previously ruled that the

CIA sources outed in a suspect list of 2600+ CIA sources. Among the sources listed are a number of major journalists: Lewis Lapham -- The Atlantic Ted Koppel Robert Novak Robert G.

Robert Trumbull Crowley died in a Washington DC hospital on October 8, 2000. He was a senior Central Intelligence Agency officer from 1948 until the mid-1980s. During his tenure with the CIA, Crowley became Assistant Deputy Director for Operations and the second-in-command of the clandestine Directorate of Operations. He wrote a book entitled The New KGB: Engine of Soviet Power that was published in 1985 by William Morrow. In 1996, prior to what Crowley felt might be a fatal major surgery for suspected lung cancer, he gave a number of historical documents from his extensive personal files to an American journalist with whom he had been working. One of the caveats of this gift was that none of the material could be used or published until after his death. Among the treasure trove of historical material on the genesis and operations of the influential CIA was an alphabetical listing of CIA sources throughout the world, provided below. A source is not a paid agent but an individual who can occupy a position of influence, such as an international banker, a member of the print or television media, or a scholar or academic, who might be in a position to influence official decisions or supply necessary support for an official CIA position. Other material covered a number of clandestine operations of the agency, both national and international, from 1948 through 1978. For instance, among papers in the Crowley archives there is an explosive signed report concerning the underlying facts of the assassination of President John Kennedy and other material on such controversial issues as Operation Phoenix, the MK-ULTRA program, Operations Condor and Applepie, and even an in-house budget for the 1996-97 fiscal years. In his final years, a reflective Crowley often expressed his desire to help others understand the many historical events that he was party to, and his many friends and admirers are pleased that his wishes are now being fulfilled. http://cryptome.org/cia-2619.htm

[CTRL] Imperialist Conspiracies
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/trask1.html }}Begin The Conspiracies of Empire by H. Arthur Scott Trask "Finally I say let demagogues and world-redeemers babble their emptiness to empty ears; twice duped is too much." ~ Robinson Jeffers Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor by Robert B. Stinnett New York, NY: Free Press; 260pp., $26.00 The late Murray Rothbard often argued that far from being evidence of a "paranoid" strain in the American mind, belief in conspiracies as a factor in American history was usually not taken far enough. The truth behind most conspiracies, he alleged, was far more heinous and diabolical than even the most diehard conspiracy theorist suspected. While many have assumed Rothbard was only being half serious, a new book on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor by Robert B. Stinnett offers compelling evidence that Murray had it right. The truth that emerges as one makes his way through this exhaustively researched volume is of an American political and military establishment whose brilliance is exceeded only by its utter lack of moral scruple or genuine patriotism. Sixty years after the fateful attack, Stinnett has uncovered, presented, and substantiated the truth behind Pearl Harbor. It is now clear that FDR did know the Japanese attack was coming. He knew more than a year in advance of Japanese plans to bomb the United States Pacific fleet at Pearl, and he knew more than a week before that the attack would come early Sunday morning. He knew because American naval intelligence had cracked the Japanese naval codes in the early fall of 1940, 15 months before the fateful attack. The smoke had barely cleared from Pearl Harbor before rightwing journalists, cranky poets, and some Republican politicians began suspecting that somehow Pearl Harbor was all a set-up. Since then, revisionist historians have contended that FDR both provoked and welcomed the war; and some even charged that he knew of the attack beforehand. Establishment historians and government officials countered these charges by insisting that the attack was indeed a surprise due to a failure of American intelligence and incompetence in the naval high command. Stinnett quotes historian Stephen E. Ambrose who claimed, as recently as a 1999 Wall Street Journal editorial, that "the real problem was that American intelligence was terrible." According to Ambrose (who echoes the official story), the navy had not yet broken the Japanese naval codes, and the Japanese task force maintained strict radio silence on its way to Hawaii. As a result, "in late November, intelligence lost the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet." Other historians have contended that the Japanese caught us by surprise due to faulty analysis of pretty good intelligence, bureaucratic squabbling among high-level naval officers in Washington, underestimation of Japanese daring and capabilities, and expectations that the attack would come against Dutch or British possessions in East Asia, not against Hawaii. Stinnett exposes each one of these theories to be false. For instance, he amply demonstrates that the ships of the Japanese carrier fleet engaged in daily radio communication with the high command in Japan, military commands in the Central Pacific, and with each other. Stinnett found out the truth by reading American naval intelligence radio intercepts of the Japanese transmissions. American intelligence did not lose the carriers. How did Stinnett manage to uncover the truth when congressional investigations (in both 1945-1946 and 1995) failed to do so? The answer lies in Stinnetts intelligence, integrity, and unflagging research effort (lasting 17 years), qualities that we know from experience are all too lacking in congressional investigations. But it also lies in a crucial Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the author in 1983. In that year, Stinnett learned of the existence of the Pacific War communications intelligence files of the United States Navy (a top secret file containing over one million documents relating to U.S. communication intelligence before and during the

-Caveat Lector- Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 4:03 AM Subject: Vaccine Medical examiner links death to anthrax vaccine Medical examiner links death to anthrax vaccine http://www.gulfwarvets.com/death2.htm BioPort officials shocked by word of employee's autopsy Thursday, September 28, 2000 By A.J. Evenson and Tim Martin Lansing State Journal BioPort Corp.'s controversial anthrax vaccine may have contributed to the death of one of its own employees, a medical examiner said Wednesday. The July death - if officially tied to the vaccine - could add to safety and financial concerns hounding the Lansing company, which is the sole producer of the U.S. military's vaccine to combat a deadly biological weapon possessed by an estimated 10 nations. Richard Dunn had worked for BioPort and its predecessor, the state-owned Michigan Biologic Products Institute, since 1992. The 61-year-old Ionia man, who cared for and monitored test animals at BioPort, was required to take the same vaccine given to the nation's military personnel. Dunn received 11 doses of the vaccine - the last, given in April. An autopsy performed in August suggests the vaccine as a factor, Ionia County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Robert Joyce said. The autopsy, Joyce said, showed Dunn had an "inflammatory response" to the vaccine throughout his body. He wouldn't comment further on how the swelling led to Dunn's death, though he did say the worker did not show signs of the deadly bacteria in his body. "Even though they didn't find any anthrax in the man's system his body's reaction to the vaccine contributed to his death," Joyce said. BioPort officials, who learned of Joyce's stance Wednesday, said they were shocked. Dunn's death certificate indicated he died of a heart condition, BioPort officials said. The company did not receive notice the autopsy indicated otherwise. "This is information we absolutely need to look into and don't take lightly," BioPort spokeswoman Kelly Rossman McKinney said. "We're puzzled and stunned. We're going to do everything we can to find out what's going on here." BioPort said they called the Pentagon, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and vaccine experts after Joyce told them Wednesday of his stance. Joyce did not perform the autopsy, but as the county's medical examiner is responsible for recording results. He would not release the autopsy results Wednesday. The Grand Rapids pathologist who performed the autopsy did not return phone calls Wednesday. And BioPort officials say they also were denied a copy of the autopsy Wednesday. Company officials expect tissue samples taken from Dunn to be turned over to national medical authorities for further review. Workers at the north Lansing labs have taken the vaccine for 30 years. More than half of BioPort's 210 workers have received the six-dose vaccine, which also requires an annual booster. The most serious reaction among employees has been a severe headache, said Condalee Decker, the company's nurse. There have been no reports of reactions similar to Dunn's, even to a lesser degree. A month after Dunn received his 11th dose, he complained of fatigue and swelling, said Mike Tanner, BioPort's director of human resources and corporate services. BioPort sent Dunn to the company's doctors, who examined him three times. They determined there was no connection to the vaccine, Tanner said. While employees were concerned by Dunn's earlier symptoms, they raised few internal questions about the vaccine's safety. Dunn's family declined comment Wednesday. A family attorney did not return phone calls. The military reports 487,098 people had received 1.9 million doses of the vaccine through last week. About 400 military personnel, worried about the impact on their health, have resigned or faced discipline rather than take the vaccine. Fewer than a half percent of the people who have taken the vaccine - 1,152 people - reported adverse reactions. A U.S. Health and Human Services review confirmed that 592 of the cases were certainly or probably caused by the anthrax vaccine. They classified 123 of the cases as serious, and 10 required hospitalization - all due to allergic, inflammation reactions. The military and the Food and Drug Administration say the anthrax vaccine is safe, with no more side effects than many common vaccines and fewer side effects than some immunizations given to children. The Pentagon also says more than 1,500 vaccinated lab workers at a research and development center at Maryland's Fort Detrick have been tracked for 20 years, with no unexplained symptoms. Defense Department officials declined to comment Wednesday but were expected to answer questions today. Critics say a long-term study on the effects of the vaccine is needed to make sure it is safe.

Re: [CTRL] Election2000: Hegelian Style
-Caveat Lector- Heya I am a newbie to this list and let me just say this is the best post that I have read so far (in about 3 weeks). IMHO the nail has been hit on the head. Bush has a friend in the high court in Scalia (whose son works for Bush sorta) and Gore by his own admission has a good friend on the court too. The nation is in a tie folks, and niether candidate is squeeky clean. Why would the court be any different when its own members are politically biased. We are at a crossroads but corruption is making things worse. The corruption IS ON BOTH SIDES, so I don't buy it when one side is pointing its finger at the other as if their party of choice has done nothing wrong. Watching the networks babble on and on about this and bringing all of their guests who are biased in one way or another is comical. Watching rallies and so forth is even funnier. Its like these people can breathe unless their party tells them to. Neither candidate is worth all of this. The only thing that keeps me interested is the histrorical aspect and to see how America wil figure this thing out. What we have is a virtual tie, in my estimation and no matter where the case goes (courts, polling booth, public opinion etc...) it seems to get resliced up and spit back out with the same results...split decision. So unless someone gets paid off this could go on a long time! (thats a joke I think). This would be a perfect heavywieght pay perview event yes? We have all the corruption, the fix conspiracies and lots of money at stake. Maybe we should turn this thing over to Don King! Great post!

True the New Guinea tribes did eat the brains of their loved ones raw, and we usually (except sushi) cook our meat, however it would be a wise move to watch the research now being carried out on Mad Cow Desease.

Re: [CTRL] Election2000: Hegelian Style
-Caveat Lector- Hello, I have commented on varius posts that fall within my interest grouping, but have pretty much refrained from comment on the current election. However, a couple of things contained in the flood of postings concerning this have caught my attention. Spin, dissinformation and blatant ideology aside, there are some issues here that strike to the heart of us as a people, and what we believe ourselves to be. The percentage of "problem ballots" in states other than Florida are substantially lower than the percentage of "problem ballotst" in Florida. In the other states, the number of "problem ballots" would not cause a change in the winner EVEN IF ALL WERE FOR ONE CANDIDATE. In Florida, with the margine so close, every vote counts. There seems to be a thread going around that no one with an IQ over 70 thinks that Bore won the popular vote in Florida. Well, I can safely say that I have an IQ over 70 and I think that, if all the disputed votes were to be fairly counted, Bore would be the winner. Let me point out that I am NOT a supporter of either of these BOZOs. To me they are Twedle de dee and Tweedle de dum. Both have some points I agree with and both have so many flaws in ideology and logic that I could not in good conscience vote for either of them. I am not a listener to the "Talking Heads", I prefer NPR, PBS, CSPAN, Nightline, Rush (for comic relief), a state and a local talk show, and Coast to Coast. If this "Labels, Categorizes, Pidgeon Holes, or otherwise gives an insight into the inner workings of my mind" so be it. Bore has offered the proposition that ALL the votes in Florida should be counted. That seems logical and fair minded. George II refuses to let any votes be counted and relies on legaleese to claim victory. I admit a bias against legaleese, but even setting that bias aside, Bore's seems to be the logical position. No law can ever be written that covers all eventualities, so what is wrong with counting all the votes. It seems to me that the Florida Supreme Court has made a hash of all this by (correctly I think) ordering the recount, but failing to give enough time to do it. TWICE!!! Florida is the only contested state, so far, and Florida is where the power should lie to correct the problem. Florida judges, elected and appointed officials, and election officials all are ultimately accountable to the Florida voters, so it is up to them to fix the problems in their state. To me, Judge Saul's ruling was seriously flawed. To rule that the the Bore team had failed to prove that the recount would 'substantially change' the outcome while at the same time refusing to look at the evidence (ballots) that would conclusively prove whether this was true or not, is absurd. But then, this sort of thing happens in the lower levels of our justice system every day. Like people everywhere, and of every time, we are going to get exactly what we are willing ot accept. V. Gordon Childe (I will elaborate on this reference if you ask, but suffice it to say the he was a noted archaeologist in the 40's and 50's) once said: "Man has never adapted to reality, only to his perception of reality". On a fundamental level this is unimpeachable. Are we in a crisis? Well, yes and no. Yes, this could be the straw that finally breaks the dam of resentment, unrest, polarization, etc. that has built since (at least) the 1950's. If that dam is breached, the direction of the flood is hard to ascertain, and the net change is hard to assess. I have my own theories about what should stand after this flood, but they have no more weight than many others. In fact, from the conversations I've had over the years with many people, the result I advocate is pretty universal, though the methods stem from my own perception of the ills we have today. No, there is no crisis unless a majority of the people refuse to accept the outcome. This is the more likely outcome for several reasons. We (in general) are currently fat, dumb and happy with the economic boom and lothe to rock the boat at this time. Secondly, we are sufficiently confused as to our core beliefs because there is no real pressure on us to make hard choices AT THIS TIME. It is like a frog being dropped in hot water; he will jump out. But if you put the frog in cool water, then heat the water up; the frog will stay there till he is thoroughly cooked. Jayson R.

Now, would you please explain to me and our other readers what part of that amendment contains the words "Separation of Church and State."

In the second place, these are not MY words. The "In Their Own Words" series is about the QUOTES of people involved in this New World Order (New Age) takeover.

By the way, liberalism - along with "democracy" is a man-made creation and name. The idea is to make everyone think they are free-thinking (non-judgmental) and generous.

Re: [CTRL] Jesus was a Liberal
-Caveat Lector- Jesus whom IMHO is far above the class of any political association and is/was/always has been/always will be in the business of cleansing of us sins through His ultimate sacrifice so that we would have a path to His Father's Kingdom also said, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's." Luke 20:22-25. Translation: Give the government what the law says but don't make them your God (a very unliberal approach I must say and certainly unlike the agenda of Al Gore's!) I also know of few politicians liberals/moderates/conservatives that would die for eachother. Maybe some politicians who were war veterans although it can be argued that they didn't plan on dying in the war they were killed in--however, they still knew the risk if they joined or resisted the urge to dodge the draft. I believe the principal of the matter in Christ's recommendation to watch money is that money is not only the source of evil (check ALMOST any person with a fat wallet in today's bull market and ALMOST never will you find that person feeling that they need any higher power other than that of maybe the Wall St. Journal or CNNfn). It is possible to have a lot of money and stay fully dependent upon God, put Christ was making a point that it was very difficult because with money comes self-pride and with self-pride comes the notion that one doesn't need to rely on anything. Money also causes us to gain a lot of worldly possessions which is exactly what Satan wants. Everyone get hooked on materialstic agendas and forget about the fact that one day the world (along with everything on the earth--yes that includes all BMW's) will be destroyed and remade new-free from sin, and because it will be free from sin it will be free from selfish personal interest (money and the accumulation of material things). Now before you flame me for this..these are my personal beliefs. If one does not believe this so be it--Christ leaves the choice to us (yet another unliberal approach). Let me also add--as if needed--tham I am far from mastering the art of seperating my own needs from wants and that I too struggle with the temptation of financial gain and materialistic issues. However, I am also aware of the problems they can cause from first hand experience with my relationship with God. Interesting thread. Thanks Mulva --- "Jayson R.

[CTRL] Pravda-Latvia Controlled By Masons
Pravda.RU:Main:More in detail 15:43 2000-12-12 “SOVIET MENACE” IN LATVIA GAVE PLACE TO THE REAL ONE, THE MENACE OF MASONS One of influential Latvian politicians, the seaport of Ventspils mayor Aivars Lembergs confirmed the statement of independent Latvian TV-channel LNT that public and politic life in Latvia is being controlled by so-called “Brotherhood” conspiracy. He said during a press conference that it ha been suggested to him to join the organisation, too, but he had refused to do it. A day before LNT claimed that all the public and political life in Latvia is being controlled by a group of influential politicians, bankers and businessmen, members of conspiracy “Brotherhood”, which exists for about 8 years, but not by the President, the Parliament and the Government. LNT channel states that ex-PM, the current leader of the biggest parliamentary party, “People’s Party”, Andris Skele, current and former Finance Ministers Gundars Berzins and Edmunds Krastins, director of Privatisation Agency Yanis Naglis and other people famous in Latvia are among the members of the conspiracy. LNT TV-journalists confirmed their statements by a audio-record, made during one of the Latvian “neo-masons” meetings. This information was not disproved by anybody. PM Andris Berzins only said through his press-secretary that he was not informed about the existence of such an organisation.

How Washington Bought Yugoslav Presidency Kostunica, Once a Serb Nationalist, Now a $41 Million-Washington Puppet WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 - Good speechwriters follow the classical speaking rule - tell them what youre going to tell them; tell them; and then tell them what youve told them. Well, we told you in July the September 24 Yugoslav elections would be a Serb demo farce, with Vojislav Kostunica starring as a naïve Don Quixote, while, in fact, being a Trojan Horse bought and paid for by Washington. We told you as the Serb Ostrich Revolution was unfolding, complete with destruction of electoral ballots, that it was a foreign-orchestrated coup detat. And we repeated that when Kostunica started to reverse himself following his electoral victory. And now, with less than two weeks to go before the Dec. 23 Serbian elections, just as we were about to sum up what weve been telling you all along about DOS and Kostunica, lo and behold the Washington Post did it for us. Yes, that liberal establishment mouthpiece; the nations penultimate authority on the imbroglio at the DC bordello, told the truth about how Washington bought the Yugoslav presidency for $41 million. The innocuous sounding headline of the Posts Dec. 11 article, U.S. Advice Guided Milosevic Opposition, was a guise for its devastating content. Devastating for Kostunica, an erstwhile Serb nationalist, now a mere Washington puppet. Devastating for DOS - the Washington-funded and organized Democratic Opposition of Serbia, now the new Yugoslav regime. Devastating for Otpor (Resistance), an ostensible student movement, also financed and run by the U.S. government. In short, the Post confirmed all our suspicions, and put a very explicit price on the Yugoslav presidency and Kostunicas betrayal of his erstwhile ideals: The U.S. democracy-building effort in Serbia was a curious mixture of secrecy and openness. In principle, it was an overt operation, funded by congressional appropriations of around $10 million for fiscal 1999 and $31 million for 2000. The Post also paints a picture of Kostunica, DOS and Otpor as nothing more than U.S. marionettes. Even the very lines they mouthed off during the election campaign were scripted by their Washington puppeteers: "According to Stevanovic, the (DOS) coalition marketing expert, EVERY WORD of the opposition's one-minute and five-minute core political messages used by opposition spokesmen across the country was discussed with U.S. CONSULTANTS and tested by opinion poll. Coalition candidates running for the Yugoslav parliament and tens of thousands of local government positions received extensive training on how to stay "on message," answer journalists' questions and rebut the arguments of Milosevic supporters. (emphasis added). Here are some other excerpts from the Post report: Held in a luxury hotel in Budapest, the Hungarian capital, in October 1999, the closed-door briefing by (Doug) Schoen, a Democrat (pollster), turned out

Luke 20:22-25. Translation: Give the government what the law says but don't make them your God (a very unliberal approach I must say and certainly unlike the agenda of Al Gore's!) above political association? you exploit your lord's words for political reasons.. deary me. I also know of few politicians liberals/moderates/conservatives that would die for eachother. name them. Maybe some politicians who were war veterans although it can be argued that they didn't plan on dying in the war they were killed in--however, they still knew the risk if they joined or resisted the urge to dodge the draft. so would the phrase "dodge the draft" have any political undertones? not protesting against an immoral war perhaps? no? not even a little bit? they were all just trying to save their lilly livered skins, uh? I believe yes, your religion is based solely on faith, nothing substantive in the slightest. you are being tricked! wake up! the principal of the matter in Christ's recommendation to watch money is that money is not only the source of evil (check ALMOST any person with a fat wallet in today's bull market and ALMOST never will you find that person feeling that they need any higher power look at any alienated person with no money at all. do you really believe they believe they need your crutch, sorry, higher power? sweep those generalisations why don't you. other than that of maybe the Wall St. Journal or CNNfn). or pragmatic belief in the oneness of the universe perhaps? maybe a belief that an egg is a miracle in itself without any dressing up without needing a god created in man's image to have made the egg? It is possible to have a lot of money and stay fully dependent upon God, are you spiritually crippled that you insist on being dependent on your god? it is not a republican god then? put Christ away behind thee was making a point that it was very difficult because with money comes self-pride and with self-pride comes the notion that one doesn't need to rely on anything. you can only rely on yourself. Money also causes us to gain a lot of worldly possessions which is exactly what Satan wants. your satan is merely a reflection of your god- two halves of the same imaginary abstention. *you* didn't do anything wrong in your life- satan did it , working thru you- or making you do it. Everyone get hooked on materialstic agendas and forget about the fact that one day the world (along with everything on the earth--yes that includes all BMW's) would everyone on the list who owns a beamie please click your right mouse button. just what audience are you writing this for mulva? will be destroyed if that is what nature intends then let it be. and remade new-free from sin, only if cognitive life forms are absent. and because it will be free from sin it will be free from selfish personal interest (money and the accumulation of material things). explain the mechanism behind this- is everyone in the world gonna be aquarians or something? Now before you flame me for this..these are my personal beliefs. no- they are something you adhere to. If one does not believe this so be it--Christ leaves the choice to us the choice being - reward for approved behaviour or punishment for disapproved behaviour (yet another unliberal approach). why? Let me also add--as if needed--tham I am far from mastering the art of seperating my own needs from wants and that I too struggle with the temptation of financial gain and materialistic issues. you mean you put a big effort into securing yourself and buying things and making yourself comfortable- then you go and mess it up by feeling bad about it for no good reason at all.

[CTRL] To: Governor Bush and Vice President Gore
-Caveat Lector- To: Governor Bush and Vice President Gore We, the undersigned, respectfully submit the following request to the consideration of Al Gore, Vice President of the United States, and George W. Bush, Governor of Texas: As you may know, many Americans regarded our recent Presidential election as a choice of the lesser evil. When it came time to decide which of you we hated the least, we the people were hopelessly deadlocked. Frankly, you both give us the creeps. At this point, it is clear that if Mr. Bush wins the recount, the Democrats will file lawsuits for every idiot voter in Florida, and we will hear endless griping about butterfly ballots and hanging chads. If Mr. Gore wins, the Republicans who tried to steal the last election with a fellatio-centric impeachment will no doubt engage in a similar abuse of the legal system. Either way, the wrangling will drag on for years. Whoever wins will be regarded as a cheater; whoever loses will be seen as a whiner. There is only one way to end the squabbling. We propose a duel to the death-on the open areas outside U.S.territorial limits (or in Texas), in front of an international team of observers and a worldwide television audience. Many great American statesmen, including Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay, engaged in duels. As one of you may know, the most famous duel in American history was between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. After a humiliating defeat for the Presidency (involving a tied vote in the Electoral College and 35 successive tied votes in the House), Burr found revenge on the dueling field. Candidates, we implore you: be like those guys. Settle your differences between yourselves, as men. Think of the satisfaction of doing by bullet what you were unable to do by ballot. Governor Bush, you were young when you decided not to risk your life for your country; now you have a rare second chance. We cannot imagine a more graphic demonstration of your steadfast support for capital punishment. Furthermore, there's nothing like a quick shoot-out to put an end to all this unnecessary "vote counting" and procedural folderol. Vice President Gore, this is your chance to demonstrate your superior gun control. With a single, well-aimed shot from a legally registered handgun, you can teach Governor Bush a lesson about the environment by making him part of it. Exercise your freedom of choice by aborting the Governor's presidential aspirations, not to mention his life. Gentlemen, it is time to settle this thing once and for all. We appreciate that you are willing to lie, cheat or steal to win this election, but that is not enough. You must be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, for the good of the nation. P.S. If it should happen that both of you are mortally wounded in this contest, we trust that our great Republic shall find some way to endure the loss.

Americans clung to the belief that the system was sound and democracy inviolate. They even believed their leaders were generally decent and honorable men, statesmen rather than hacks, which is why the president nearly always topped the list of the most respected people in the nation. But in an atmosphere of demystification, even this belief could withstand only so many blows before it began to crumble. This wising up was not necessarily a bad thing. They were seeing things more cynically, perhaps, but also more realistically. Still, there had always remained one beacon of hope and belief: the election process itself. Whatever our political leaders did, however much our political institutions may have been compromised, the ultimate authority rested with the people through the exercise of the vote. The vote was holy. When one entered the voting booth with a pencil (or, as we now know, a stylus), pulled the curtain and cast a ballot, one was entering the real cathedral of democracy. Here it was simple again. You made your choice. Your choice was registered. The candidate with the most votes took office. The Republic endured. Then came Florida In this way the electoral process itself has been both demystified as just another hoax and delegitimized, so that whoever becomes president cannot possibly be a symbol of our idealism. Rather, he will be the one whose party managed to work the system better. That is where 50 years of revelation and cynicism has brought us to the point where the presidential election has become the biggest pseudo-event of all and power resides not in the electoral system but in those who feel they have the perspicacity to see through it.

[CTRL] How Dare Government License Drivers?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.infomagic.net/liberty/vs001208.htm Vin Suprynowicz December 8, 2000 And now ... armed guards at the DMV Constitutional authority for licensing cars and drivers is pretty tenuous, largely based on early legal sleight-of-hand designed to purposely confuse the excisable professional of "driving" -- hauling passengers or freight for profit on the public roads -- with simple civilian travel. The image is colorful -- the Slim Pickens "toll booth" scene from the Mel Brooks film "Blazing Saddles" comes to mind -- but there's no record that George Washington had to stop by each state capitol along his route, signing up for the 18th century equivalent of a "photo ID" and a little metal plate to hang over his horse's rump, as he moved from Massachusetts through Connecticut, rushing to the defense of New York in 1776 and Philadelphia in 1777. In fact, drivers' licenses are thinly disguised police ID cards. (Does one forget how to drive when moving across town, or into another state? Then why isn't the license you got in another state the year you graduated from high school still as "good" as the high school diploma you earned that same year?) Yet we obligingly buy into the euphemism that the "customers" of the Department of Motor Vehicles want quick and efficient "service" when we go wait in line to renew these sundry government forms -- as though anyone would be buying this bill of goods, absent the armed and uniformed men who stand ready to handcuff us and impound our valuable vehicles if we're caught without our "papers, please." Now, some of the peons are apparently growing restless. Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn said Monday that state workers fear for their lives because "patrons" at DMV offices are going ballistic when they're told -- after waiting in line for an average of more than an hour -- not only that they're being refused the routine paperwork they've come to pay for, but that their vehicles are instead going to be impounded for overdue traffic or parking tickets. DMV Director Richard Kirkland added that some victims have told his employees that they will be killed or that they should be looking over their shoulder when they leave work. "Some have been grabbed around the throat," he added. Oh, the humanity! The governor Monday asked members of the Legislature's Interim Finance Committee to provide funding for armed guards in the Las Vegas and Reno DMV offices, to keep these unruly peasants in line. Though it's tempting to suggest they be given MP-40 submachine guns and fancy black uniforms with silver skulls on the collars, the better to help everyone appreciate the true nature of the transaction being effected, in fact some better solutions are available: First, the American system of governance is based on carefully delineated lines of jurisdiction between the various levels of government -- one of many safeguards against a vertically integrated, Napoleonic tyranny. A state motor vehicle office has no more business withholding a state document from an otherwise qualified citizen based on non- payment of local or municipal parking tickets, than the U.S. State Department should be refusing us passports because our chicken coops are alleged to be in violation of some local zoning code. Yes, local judges have ruled that the state should impound the vehicles of drivers who ignore local parking tickets. The correct response from Gov. Guinn should be: "The judges have made their ruling; now let them try to enforce it. My guys aren't going to do it, because it's unconstitutional." (The "balance of powers" is supposed to allow any of the three branches to block an unconstitutional order from another -- otherwise we'd only need one branch of government: the courts.) In the meantime, though, statistics provided by the governor and his staff in the course of seeking funds for 64 new part-time workers in an effort to decrease waiting times at the DMV offices -- now averaging 79 minutes per victim at the Sahara office in Las Vegas -- should raise some eyebrows in their own right. In part because of a perverse incentive in state employee contracts which encourage workers to "use or lose" their "sick time," on any given day 30 percent of employees are absent from their posts in the Henderson, Carey Avenue and West Flamingo Road DMV offices, the governor's staff revealed. While on East Sahara, the average rate of absenteeism is a whopping 49 percent. Couple this with the astonishingly inefficient hunt-and-peck methods of data entry which citizens are witnessing when they finally do reach the front of the lines, and it's small wonder tempers are near the breaking point. "The way that the sick time pay is structured is one of the things that we're looking at very closely," the governor's spokesmen, Jack Finn, told me Tuesday. And will the governor be looking at getting his DMV workers out of the job of impounding autos to enforce municipal parking tickets? "That's something we're
[CTRL] Scalia To Donate Brain To Mad Cow Disease Research
-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Scalia SCALIA TO DONATE BRAIN TO MAD COW DISEASE RESEARCH Researchers Express Extreme Gratitude for Selfless Gesture WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - In a move that Democratic operatives dismiss as simply more bizarre G.O.P. grandstanding in a desperate effort to sway public opinion, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on December 10 issued a tersely worded press release revealing that he has decided to donate his brain to the University of California San Francisco, for research on Mad Cow Disease. The Prion Biosafety Department at UCSF is in the forefront of research on amyloid and other abnormal protein assembly processes. Justice Scalia's announcement occurred after Mad Cow Disease researchers from all over the world had swamped him with telephone calls, e-mails, and singing telegrams, asking him to do this for the good of humanity. Following Scalia's December 9 opinion finding not only that the G.O.P. would suffer "irreparable harm" from having Florida voters' ballots counted in the presidential election, but also that the G.O.P. would likely succeed in its effort to stop such ballot-counting, there was widespread agreement among researchers that Scalia has enough holes in his head to do stand-ins for Swiss cheese in spaghetti westerns. Some experts speculate that Scalia - and quite possibly four other U.S. Supreme Court justices - consumed some tainted baloney at a secret G.O.P. fundraiser. Others just as ardently contend that Scalia does not suffer from Mad Cow Disease at all - that he's simply been socializing too much with Rush Limbaugh. Researchers at UCSF expressed sincere appreciation to Justice Scalia for his selfless gesture. They assured him that, after they finish the appropriate research on his brain, they will press it into hamburger patties and give it a decent burial at sea, near the Farallon Islands, a resting place they assured him would be appropriate for a person of his stature. The Farallons are a group of seven sparsely vegetated granite outcroppings located offshore of the Golden Gate channel. The waters around the Farallons are well known among marine biologists for their prevalence of radioactive mutant giant sponges and great whites. Scalia, who, thank God, is not from the West Coast, of course didn't get it. He never will. © LibertyIsNotFree 12/10/2000 A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Election2000: Hegelian Style
-Caveat Lector- Doesn't anyone see the constant state and federal legal volleying which is prolonging this painful 'election', as being a little stagey, odd, contrived, suspicious? Possibly this is a manufactured event designed to... to what? Force a crisis? And why? To create more false divisions in the American public? Foment civil unrest which will be cause to implement and impose the ML / FEMA organizational structure? Jim Marrs, author of "Ruled by Secrecy" said on the Dec 3rd Dreamland broadcast, he believed the situation has been engineered to call for and hold a constitutional convention, at which time the constitution could be revised, rewritten and in doing so, pretty well trashed out. Hadn't thought of that one, and am not familiar with 'Constitutional convention', which I plan to research. I wasn't and am not a supporter of either of the bozos either. Like I said before they are simpy the cardboard cutouts of the corporate plutocracy. Both parties, along with the legal system, have sold out the ideals of the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and the American public to the corporate/globalist interests. We are the commodities. They create monsters and sell fear, manipulating the mainstream consciousness to react rather than to act with discerning intelligence and question their decisions, which are seldom, if ever, good for this nation or its people. I believe defending either party or candidate is a waste of time and energy, a diversion from the real issues, such as a health, privacy, government accountability/secrecy and liberty, largely unnoticed and unchallenged in the din of confusion and babble of empty rhetoric. Better to use this misdirected energy learning what to look for and how to fight for something of substance and real value rather than fighting over or for something that does not even exist, except in propaganda or a memory. IMO, that is. ~ M == "Jayson R.

However, a couple of things contained in the flood of postings concerning this have caught my attention. Spin, dissinformation and blatant ideology aside, there are some issues here that strike to the heart of us as a people, and what we believe ourselves to be. The percentage of "problem ballots" in states other than Florida are substantially lower than the percentage of "problem ballotst" in Florida. In the other states, the number of "problem ballots" would not cause a change in the winner EVEN IF ALL WERE FOR ONE CANDIDATE. In Florida, with the margine so close, every vote counts. There seems to be a thread going around that no one with an IQ over 70 thinks that Bore won the popular vote in Florida. Well, I can safely say that I have an IQ over 70 and I think that, if all the disputed votes were to be fairly counted, Bore would be the winner. Let me point out that I am NOT a supporter of either of these BOZOs. To me they are Twedle de dee and Tweedle de dum. Both have some points I agree with and both have so many flaws in ideology and logic that I could not in good conscience vote for either of them. I am not a listener to the "Talking Heads", I prefer NPR, PBS, CSPAN, Nightline, Rush (for comic relief), a state and a local talk show, and Coast to Coast. If this "Labels, Categorizes, Pidgeon Holes, or otherwise gives an insight into the inner workings of my mind" so be it. Bore has offered the proposition that ALL the votes in Florida should be counted. That seems logical and fair minded. George II refuses to let any votes be counted and relies on legaleese to claim victory. I admit a bias against legaleese, but even setting that bias aside, Bore's seems to be the logical position. No law can ever be written that covers all eventualities, so what is wrong with counting all the votes. It seems to me that the Florida Supreme Court has made a hash of all this by (correctly I think) ordering the recount, but failing to give enough time to do it. TWICE!!! Florida is the only contested state, so far, and Florida is where the power should lie to correct the problem. Florida judges, elected and appointed officials, and election officials all are ultimately accountable to the Florida voters, so it is up to them to fix the problems in their state. To me, Judge Saul's ruling was seriously flawed. To rule that the the Bore team had failed to prove that the recount would 'substantially change' the outcome while at the same time refusing to look at the evidence (ballots) that would conclusively prove whether this was true or not, is absurd. But then, this sort of thing happens in the lower levels of our justice system every day. Like people everywhere, and of every time, we are going

[CTRL] HE: Jackson Decries Civil Rights Violations, Places Blame on JebBush
-Caveat Lector- Jackson Decries Civil Rights Violations, Places Blame on Jeb Bush Human Events December 11, Washington D.C.Almost an hour after oral arguments in Bush v. Gore ended, while crowds chanted and shouted in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, Rev. Jesse Jackson exited the court grounds on the Maryland Avenue side of the building. Jackson stopped to address reporters, and then answered some questions. In this exchange, he told Human Events reporters that he thinks Jeb Bush is responsible for a concerted effort to disenfranchise blacks. Below is a transcript of the encounter: Jackson: There are several questions for me. One, is the court so political that its mind is already made up; thats a real question. Justice Scalias son is a lawyer who works for Bush. On todays internet Justices Thomass wife is recruiting staff members for Bush who works for Heritage Foundation. So is the court so predisposed politically that the arguments dont matter is a very real question. I hope the court rises above the political partisanship, and chooses the Republic over Republicans, and the democracy over Democrats, and makes that kind of decision. It maybe the biggest decision of this sort since the 1857 Dred Scott decision, or the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson, so its a huge decision to be made today. Second, is that they kept asking for uniformity of remedy, but you dont have uniform procedures, by county. If University of Florida plays Florida State in football, or they play the University of Miami, all the football fields are 100 by 50. The playing field is even, the rules are public, the goals are clear, so you have uniform standards. But in the state of Florida, standards vary from county to county, and indeed African-Americans were targeted, 80 percent of those are in discussion are really African American voters, who were targeted, only African Americans were stopped by police as they sought to vote, and as they were asked for their ID cards and for their drivers licenses. Eight thousand people, mostly African Americans were sent, notices that they were felons by Mrs. Harris, a private firm from Texas, none of them were, some were misdemeanors, and some had not been arrested at all, or within the black community, you had the most broken-down machinery. We know the pattern of who was in fact targeted, during the campaign. Lastly, will the courts honor the intent of the voter? The Republicans made two arguments last Friday. They said, in Seminole honor the intent of the voter, and in Miami-Dade, they said honor the machine, so they got to the fork in the road, and they chose the fork. They really must honor the intent of the voter. There will not be a legitimate winner unless the voters determine who that winner is. The courts must not take unto themselves to make that determination, the voters must determine the winner. If you govern with the consent of the governed, thats democratic. But if in fact we are governed without our consent, we are being ruled. And thats despotism. We want democracy, not despotism. Reporter: From the way the proceedings went, do you think Mr. Gore has a chance of winning this case? Jackson: He certainly has a chance, but the assumption would be that their minds are already made up, for example, Justices OConnor and Kennedy raised very challenging questions to the Bush lawyers at the very outset. That could suggest that they at least have been thinking about the process. Scalia challenged over and over the Gore lawyers, and Clarence Thomas more or less mused through it all, he had nothing to say. He was really a spectator. But the biggest spectator was the Department of Justice, they have abdicated their job. The Department of Justice had a role to play, they were absent, when 80 percent of those in question were black voters, the Department of Justice took a hike. Mother Liberty was blindfolded today, and closemouthed, and should have had something to say. Human Events: Do you think there was actually a concerted effort to take away the votes of blacks? Jackson: Absolutely! You can document it, you can look at where, who got disenfranchised, the quantity, and who, from Liberty City, to Broward, to Lakeland, to Rivera Beach, Orlando, to inner city Jacksonville, most of those disenfranchised were African Americans Students at Florida AM, Bethune-Cookman, Edward Waters went to vote, with registration in their hands, their name not on the polls. 80 percent were African American. And you had the Holocaust survivors in the West Palm area, who pushed the button for Gore and they got Buchanan, they didnt mean to do that, that was a violation, of them for example. And so, in Duval County, 27,000 ballots were thrown away, they were held back until the protest period was over, in fact. And so, if this were Yugoslavia, and at the end, Milosevic was losing, you got to the last state where Milosevics brother was the governor, and in that state
[CTRL] DMN: Waco case prosecutor enters plea
-Caveat Lector- Waco case prosecutor enters plea Johnston says he's not guilty; January trial set Dallas Morning News ST. LOUIS A former government prosecutor pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of obstructing the investigation into the 1993 siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. Former assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Johnston was charged with two counts of obstruction of justice and three counts of lying to investigators and a federal grand jury. The indictment was returned last week as Waco special counsel John C. Danforth released his final report absolving the government of wrongdoing in the siege. The case was filed in St. Louis because Mr. Danforth, a former U.S. senator from Missouri, based his investigation out of his law office there. At the hearing Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Ann Medler set a trial date of Jan. 2. Mr. Johnston is free on personal recognizance bond. He was present at the arraignment but did not speak other than to acknowledge that he understood the terms of the bond. Attorney Michael Kennedy has acknowledged that Mr. Johnston made mistakes in his dealings with the special counsel. But he called the charges baseless and unfair. Mr. Johnston helped draft the search warrant that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms tried to execute on Feb. 28, 1993, at the Waco compound. The botched raid turned into a gunfight in which four federal agents and six Branch Davidians were killed. The shootout sparked the 51-day standoff that ended on April 19, 1993, with a fire that consumed the compound, killing sect leader David Koresh and about 80 followers inside. Mr. Johnston in 1994 helped convict nine Branch Davidians during their criminal trial. In 1999, federal Judge Walter S. Smith Jr. ordered the government to give him all records and evidence connected with the standoff. Mr. Johnston then complained publicly that the Justice Department was covering up evidence showing FBI agents had fired pyrotechnic tear gas at the compound. Justice Department and FBI officials denied for years that the government had used anything capable of sparking fires when they employed tanks and tear gas to try to end the standoff. The FBI's subsequent confirmation that some pyrotechnic tear gas was used prompted Attorney General Janet Reno to ask Mr. Danforth to investigate. In July, Mr. Danforth, in a preliminary report, absolved the government of blame in the blaze. A week earlier, an advisory jury hearing a $675 million wrongful-death lawsuit brought by surviving cult members and the victims' families reached the same conclusion. Mr. Johnston left the U.S. attorney's office in February. He admitted in July that he had withheld several pages of notes from 1993 dealing with the FBI's use of pyrotechnic gas. "It's completely irrelevant and immaterial to the investigation," Mr. Kennedy, speaking of the withheld notes, said after the hearing. A congressional report issued last week praised Mr. Johnston for helping reveal the use of pyrotechnics but condemned his failure to surrender the notes, which indicated he was told in 1993 that FBI agents fired several incendiary military tear gas grenades. Mr. Johnston said he withheld the notes out of fear that hostile colleagues might try to use what he had written to discredit him. He added that he didn't reveal the notes to Mr. Danforth because his investigators "treated me with the same loathing and hostility that I had encountered from the Justice Department." = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] NYP: THE FRAMERS' DESIGN
-Caveat Lector- THE FRAMERS' DESIGN Tuesday,December 12,2000 By KRIS W. KOBACH AS the Florida Legislature meets to consider whether to appoint the state's presidential electors itself (thereby ensuring that Florida meets the Dec. 12 and Dec. 18 deadlines), Al Gore's minions are attempting to whip up national indignation at the prospect of such "interference." The Gore spin machine has kicked into high gear, portraying the Legislature's actions as an illegitimate usurpation of power. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Under the U.S. Constitution, the Legislature is the sole holder of the power to determine Florida's electors - a power that it may delegate to the voters of the state if it so chooses. The Constitution's words are crystal-clear: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors . . . " When it comes to setting the election rules in each state, the legislatures possess the final word. Indeed, the exclusive word. It is, in legal terms, a "plenary" power - a power that is absolute, full and unqualified. The U.S. Supreme Court recognized this more than a century ago when it acknowledged that "the appointment of these electors is thus placed absolutely and wholly with the legislatures of the several states." This is much more than a convenient safety net for George W. Bush: It is a reflection of how the Framers of the Constitution thought a republican form of government should properly choose its chief executive. The delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 debated long and hard about how the president should be selected. Early on, the subject produced strident disagreement. Many options were considered, including selection by Congress (as in the British Parliament), direct election by the people, selection by the governors of the states and selection by a body of electors. By the end of the Convention, the Electoral College was seen as the only solution that could maintain the separation of powers, safeguard the interests of the smaller states and allow the people to play an (indirect) role in presidential selection. Once the Electoral College system was agreed upon, the next question was how to appoint the electors. Ultimately, the Framers concluded that state legislators should be entrusted with this important responsibility. The state legislatures could appoint presidential electors themselves, as some states did up through 1860, or they could allow the people to vote for the electors. But in either case, the people's elected representatives in each state would be the wardens of the process. This structure reflected an all-important principle in the Framers' republican scheme of government: The most important decisions must be made by legislators. As James Madison put it, members of the Legislative Branch would inevitably be guided by "their attention to the views of their respective constituents and their regard for the public good." Thus, throughout the Constitution, the greatest powers rest with legislatures. The power to declare war, for example, was given not to the commander in chief but to the Congress. And the power to ratify federal constitutional amendments was given not to state governors or judges, but to state legislatures. Similarly, the power to determine how presidential electors would be chosen was vested in the state legislatures. Legislators, whatever their flaws, were accountable to the people. They could, therefore, be trusted to act in the people's best interest. The Framers did not even consider allowing courts to set the rules for the selection of the president. This was an intrinsically political process, not a judicial one. State legislatures were best suited to the job. If they erred or acted unfairly, the people would hold them accountable at the polls. Judges, on the other hand, are not so easily called to task. The Florida Supreme Court is a case in point. The four-justice majority that demanded statewide manual recounts of the undervote will never have to defend before the voters its radical reshaping of Florida election law. Americans have always been a litigious people. As Alexis de Tocqueville observed presciently in 1848, "There is hardly a political question in the United States which does not sooner or later turn into a judicial one." The Framers designed the Constitution to protect against this tendency in the all-important selection of the president. The final word at each stage of the process rests either with the state legislatures or with Congress. They need only have the courage to say it. Kris Kobach is a professor of constitutional law, legal history and legislation at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[CTRL] NM: Liberal Press Continues Sex Investigations of Bush Boys, Harris
-Caveat Lector- Newsmax-Inside Cover Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2000 11:18 a.m. EST Liberal Press Continues Sex Investigations of Bush Boys, Harris The election nightmare may soon be over. But the liberal press outlets may be seeking retribution. One victim of their vengeance has been Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris. She has been accused of everything to tar her reputation. The New York press mentioned weeks ago that investigations were under way involving an alleged romance between her and Gov. Jeb Bush. The irreverent, liberal CounterPunch newsletter, edited by Jeff St. Claire and Alex Cockburn, report that the media have no plans to let Harris and the Bush boys go once the election thing is over. CounterPunch says in its most recent edition that reporters have been tipped off by "Tallahassee sources" who are now alleging that Harris never had an affair with Jeb Bush. Instead, the newsletter says, reporters are investigating gossip that W. and Harris had a long-standing relationship. Reportedly, some press have already started comparing travel and other records, trying to show the pair were in the same cities together. Does it matter that as high-ranking state officials the pair may have been in the same cities for official conferences? The press doesn't think so. The lengths the big media are taking to discredit the Bush family doesn't stop with W. and Jeb. CounterPunch says the press has also focused on the sons of Jeb. Jeb's son, George, is one target. In 1994, he had a bad breakup with a girlfriend and ran his Ford Explorer over the young lady's front yard. More "scandal" being peddled by the media: Jeb's other son was discovered by police in a car with a girlfriend, windows fogged, and not fully clothed. With Gore the apparent loser, the media-backed vendettas will continue. The politics of personal destruction are alive and well. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Judicial Watch has uncovered evidence, including sworn testimony, that the Clinton-Gore Commerce Department, working in conjunction with the White House and Democratic National Committee, illegally sold taxpayer-financed trade missions seats in exchange for campaign contributions. In court testimony, Nolanda Hill, the business partner and confidante of the late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, said that Hillary Clinton conceived of this fundraising scheme. Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit in 1995 to uncover documents pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) about the Commerce Department trade missions. In December, 1998 (and reaffirmed yesterday), the Court ruled that the Clinton-Gore Commerce Department had illegally withheld and destroyed many responsive documents. (It was this lawsuit that helped uncover John Huang, which, according to Fox News, got the ball rolling on the Chinagate scandal. Huang now faces contempt of court for his refusal to answer questions about Bill and Hillary Clintons, Al Gores and many Republicans roles in this controversy.) In his rulings, Judge Lamberth authorized Judicial Watch to take the deposition testimony of Bruce Lindsey, Cheryl Mills, and Doris Matsui. A sworn declaration by Commerce Department whistleblower Sonya Stewart points to Ms. Mills involvement in improperly withholding documents from Judicial Watch. With respect to Mr. Lindsey and Ms. Matsui, the Court found, based on Ms. Stewarts testimony, that it is logical to conclude that Lindsey and Matsui would have information related to the frustration of the plaintiffs FOIA requests on the trade missions. Judge Lamberth also authorized discovery into Clinton-Gore White House e-mail which may bear on the underlying issue of documents illegally withheld from Judicial Watch by the Commerce Department. In allowing e-mail discovery, Judge Lamberth cited Nolanda Hills sworn testimony, ruling that there is credible evidence that communications did occur between the (Commerce Department), the White House, and the DNC...[and that] it is logical to conclude that at least some of the communications were in electronic form. As Judge Lamberth said yesterday, this is not your average FOIA case. Though Judge Lamberth did not grant Judicial Watch all the discovery it had requested, we are pleased by his rulings. This scandal goes to the highest levels of the Clinton-Gore White House, stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. ### = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] AmericanSpectator: Al Terrible Tools
-Caveat Lector- http://www.spectator.org/corry/corry.htm Al Terrible Tools Perhaps it no longer matters. So much damage has been done already that the Supreme Court's ruling may be moot. Al Gore and his people are spoilers. If they can't win the White House, they will discredit the administration of George Bush. Donna Brazile, Gore's campaign manager, is working with the Democratic National Committee and the unions to stage demonstrations. What matters to them is not the country, but their ability to seize and hold power. They really are terrible people. Gore's Florida strategy, of course, was to count and recount, and sue and countersue, and to divine the intent of voters no matter how inconclusive their ballots. The often expressed aim was to "count every vote," and somehow to find enough votes to win. But there has never been a national election, or, for that matter, a state or even big-city election in which every vote was counted. Consequently American elections have always been determined by tacit agreements and mutual understandings, and, improbable as it may seem in these cheesy times, a shared desire to do what's best for the country. The electoral process has been one of the things that has separated the U.S. from the rest of the world. But all this has now disappeared. Jesse Jackson, that bloated old fraud, showed up in Miami the day after the election to lead demonstrations and insist blacks had been disenfranchised, even though they voted in greater numbers than ever before. Jackson, who is now listed as a spiritual adviser to Gore, also likened the allegedly disenfranchised blacks to victims of the Holocaust. It was clear from the beginning that Jackson's sole aim was to further divide blacks and whites, while reasserting himself as a civil rights leader. Today, even as the nation awaited the Supreme Court ruling, Jackson and AFL-CIO president John J. Sweeney, also an unconscionable man, charged in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post that Florida election officials had conspired with the Republican Party to block, handicap, or otherwise intimidate black voters. David Boies and other trial lawyers have also done us a disservice. Nonetheless they and others like them may now have a decisive role in all future elections. Adjudication can replace the old give-and-take and mutual understandings. Senator-elect Hillary Clinton already has announced she will introduce a constitutional amendment to do away with the electoral college. She wants presidents to be chosen on the basis of the raw vote alone. This would provide an unending stream of work for the trial lawyers, of course, and insure that the lawyers and judges would be able to choose presidents. Florida today, and who knows where tomorrow? The trial lawyers could dispute elections, and fight for votes all over the country. Meanwhile the Supreme Court has been robbed of its dignity, which has always been its most precious asset. The sanctimonious Patrick Leahy -- he grows increasingly unbearable -- the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced on CNN over the weekend that the Supreme Court is losing its "credibility" and "moral posture." At the same time the New York Times felt free to say: "The United States Supreme Court did a disservice to the nation's tradition of fair elections by calling for a halt to the recount of disputed ballots in Florida." Granted that everyone knows the Times is deep in the tank for Gore and the Democratic Party; its one-sidedness is still stunning. When the Florida Supreme Court ruled 4 to 3 to give Gore another chance to capture more votes, the Times congratulated it for acting "boldly and wisely." It dismissed Chief Justice Charles Wells's warning that the majority's decision had "no foundation in the law of Florida as it existed on November 7" and could lead to a constitutional crisis as an "overheated dissenting opinion." Meanwhile the Times now says it hopes the Supreme Court will measure up to its own high standards, although it hardly expects that to happen. In a smarmy editorial today it did its best to discredit the court in advance. It said it hoped the justices would "have the wisdom and vision to look beyond the tangled circumstances in Florida and shape a decision about extracting the people's verdict," but that it would be "Panglossian to suggest" that they would. The court so far, the Times said, has shown "little passion for the overarching themes of democracy." The Times's arrogance here is overwhelming, but that's the way it goes. May God protect our country from all these terrible people.

-Caveat Lector- http://writ.news.findlaw.com/dean/20001208.html FindLaw Friday, Dec. 08, 2000 PRESIDENT CLINTON'S INDICTMENT AND PARDON COMING SOON By JOHN DEAN All the clues suggest that William Jefferson Clinton is going to be indicted by Independent Counsel Robert Ray shortly after the president leaves office. This action, if it happens, will have major political consequences for the new president. If Al Gore becomes president, the indictment will begin a nightmare that could ruin his presidency. But if George W. Bush becomes president, Clinton's indictment could make his presidency. As for the soon-to-be former president, although he will never go to prison (with his Secret Service detail to protect him and the nation's national security), he may be seriously considering granting himself a pardon. Not merely for himself, but for his wife, his daughter, his party and his country. Why A Clinton Indictment Is Likely As I see it, Independent Counsel Robert Ray has only one purpose in life: to indict Bill Clinton when he leaves office at noon on January 20, 2001. That has been evident since Ray replaced Ken Starr in October 1999 as independent counsel. During an exit interview with Larry King Live, Judge Starr explained that he was leaving in essence because he had become "politicized," and that for the good of the continuing investigations and potential prosecutions, he needed to step aside. In short, Robert Ray, an ambitious and able career prosecutor, did not take the independent counsel job merely to write the final report required by the law and close down the operation. While Ray initially ducked the questions about indicting Clinton, as the months have passed, his plans have become clear. Last summer, just before the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, it was accidentally leaked to the media that Ray had empanelled a new grand jury. In September, when reporting that he had "determined that the evidence was insufficient to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that either President Clinton or Mrs. Clinton knowingly participated in any criminal conduct" relating to the Whitewater matter, Ray acknowledged that his new grand jury was investigating President Clinton's conduct in the Lewinsky scandal. More specifically, Ray told CNN's Late Edition he would give his decision about indicting Bill Clinton "very shortly after the president leaves office in the best interest of the country, and also not to unfairly tread on the new president's administration." Robert Ray has not been twiddling his thumbs for over a year in his job, not knowing what he plans to do with Bill Clinton. Rather, Ray is waiting for Clinton to leave office because it is doubtful whether a sitting president can be indicted. Of course Ray knows he is going to indict, and he has been preparing for battle. How can he not indict? He has a formal finding of a federal judge that the record in a civil lawsuit against Clinton (the Paula Jones case) "demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the president responded by giving false, misleading and evasive answers that were designed to obstruct the judicial process." And Ray knows that about half the members of the 106th Congress of the United States found that the president not only committed perjury and obstruction of justice in a civil lawsuit, but also did the same before a federal grand jury and during impeachment proceedings. No career prosecutor is going to ignore this evidence of the president's criminal conduct and give him a pass. Nor will he let Bill Clinton recover millions of dollars (in legal fees) from the government, which would happen under the independent counsel law if he is not indicted. The retiring president is about to leap from the proverbial frying pan into the fire. Gore's Nightmare: A Clinton Indictment and Trial Should Al Gore become president, the indictment and criminal trial of Bill Clinton at the outset of his presidency would be a horror show. Only the resurrection of Richard Nixon could be more disquieting to the Capital City than the return of the Lewinsky scandal. For Gore to govern without the spectacle of the former president in the dock for lying about his sexual dalliances would be difficult enough, given Washington's proclivity for gridlock compounded by the controversy over this presidential election. A Clinton trial would send phalanxes of fuming Republicans, all near paranoid in their conviction that Gore had stolen the election, into a partisan tizzy. There are only two people Republicans loathe more than Al Gore Bill and Hillary Clinton. Now fearful that Senator Hillary may one day reclaim the White House, Republican zealots will find the Clinton criminal trial an irresistible opportunity, seeing in it the opportunity to further savage Bill Clinton and thereby also taint his wife, as well as any Democratic defenders of the former president. This is exactly the type of nasty partisan activity that the
[CTRL] WP: Let the Count Continue
-Caveat Lector- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57885-2000Dec11.html Let the Count Continue By Jesse L. Jackson and John J. Sweeney Tuesday, December 12, 2000; Page A47 Today the Supreme Court may be poised to find that some or all aspects of a manual recount in Florida violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It's too soon to say that a majority of the justices is bent on keeping all the votes from being counted. But it's not too soon to note the disturbing irony of the Bush campaign and Justice Antonin Scalia pointing to the equal protection clause as the reason not to count tens of thousands of ballots disproportionately cast by African Americans in Florida. The hand count ordered by the Florida Supreme Court was, in fact, the only small remedy for the massive violation of the promise of equal protection that happened in Florida on Election Day. Can anyone deny that hundreds of thousands of Florida voters have already been denied the equal protection of the laws? Wasn't that what happened when voters in predominantly minority communities had to vote using antiquated machines that weren't properly maintained? When they were given misleading ballots with faulty instructions? When they had to brave police checkpoints to get to their polling stations? When polling stations were moved in the middle of the night? When minority voters' registration applications weren't processed and when longtime voters had their names illegally removed from the voting rolls? And don't forget--while the state of Florida's election authorities did everything they could to place obstacles in the way of African American and other minority voters, other election officials in Florida were conspiring with the Republican Party to make sure that no matter what mistakes white Republican voters made on their absentee ballot applications, those voters would still get a ballot. There were dozens of gross injustices in the Florida election. The huge number of undervoted ballots, concentrated in minority precincts across Florida, was the only one for which there appeared to be a partial remedy--and that remedy was the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court on Friday. For all the rest--the police blockades and the midnight moves of polling places, the discriminatory purges--there is going to be no remedy. Now it appears, from the words of Justice Scalia, that the only meaning of the equal protection clause is that there must be no remedy at all for those who have been discriminated against. The final irony is that the equal protection clause was added to the Constitution of the United States after the Civil War for the express purpose of protecting African Americans against the efforts of state officials in Florida and other states of the South to deny emancipated slaves the equal protection of the laws. Now we are poised to have those fine, noble words become the excuse used not only to thwart the will of the people of the United States as to who should be president but to ensure that the efforts of state officials to disenfranchise the descendants of slaves will succeed. There are lots of reasons for the Supreme Court to let the count continue--deference to the Florida courts' interpretation of Florida law and the sanctity of the right to vote and have that vote counted among them. But if it comes down for the justices to the 14th Amendment and the promise of equal protection, one can only hope for the sake of the country that they consider how not counting all the votes mirrors too closely the habits of heart and mind that brought us slavery and segregation--the original sins of our nation that the equal protection clause sought to repair.

[CTRL] Fwd: Letter To The People Of America
-Caveat Lector- LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA [The following is sent forth anonymously to prevent diverting attention from its contents.] Eleven score and four years ago, "our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." But however noble our intentions were in the beginning, however much we inspired our sons and daughters and others with the idea of Liberty, we buried the seed of decay in our very own Constitution, became the spear-bearers of slavery, and created the opposite of Equality. At this dramatic hour ending this bloodiest century the twentieth, we are forced by history to submit to merciless self-examination, for even the wild beasts of the forest interpret the signs of the times far better than we do, compelling us to face up honestly to Nature's god and not to run away from the question, "What are you doing? What have you done, and what are you going to do?" Our American deprivation has reached its basest point and cannot go any further. The worst part of it is that we do not even know our true condition, most of us not even suspecting that there could be anything inherently wrong with us-the glorious U.S. of A.-at all! Our general ignorance is topped only by our almost fatal lack of knowing ourselves: We are not only unconscious of the fact that we have a problem but have no idea whatsoever how utterly miserably we compare to other nations. Our being victorious in a war of cessation against our former home country England, than against our own South, then in two world wars and finally in the cold war, has become the worst teacher we could ever get; we have been spared the rod, and became spoiled beyond recognition. "Spoiled" here is meant in the sense of a psycho-passive condition of the American people that exposes them to the worst kind of mass hypnotism in world history, a hypnotic sleep so deep in fact that we did not wake up to the reality of what was going on neither after Lincoln was murdered nor when McKinley was murdered nor when Joe Hill was murdered and with him the American socialist movement, nor when Kennedy was murdered, nor when Martin Luther King was murdered; nor did any one of us wake up during WW1 nor WW2, nor during McCarthy's days, nor during the cold war, nor during Vietnam and our conquest of South America, nor after the fall of the Berlin Wall, nor at our attacking Iraq, destroying Yugoslavia, and sowing seeds of war elsewhere worldwide, from East Timor to Israel, still counting. We have permitted an ever increasing demon to take control of our lives, our thoughts, our whole outlook on life, and sink into the quagmire of most profound misconceptions, of overestimating ourselves to an extreme degree and fatally and dishonestly underestimating others, and isolating and separating ourselves, our country, from the rest of the human family-be it Europe, the Arab world, Asia, or the United Nations-and removing ourselves totally from any control or sphere of influence of any higher ideal of the laws of God or of social justice. That is what is left from our much-praised "Liberty": freedom from our conscience and freedom from all human decency. We ourselves permitted this to happen, it has been we who were bartering away our birthright for a mess of pottage, for a little sweet hypnotic sleep. Those who rule us are masters to blame all or any evil happening to America to anti-American devils, Satans who, strangely, came to earth for the sole purpose of blaspheming against the holy United States. Most of us, certainly subconsciously, believe at least a little from this American-made Potemkin village for the mind. We managed to succeed the English, masters of xenophobic arrogance against all those "unfortunate humans" who were "accursed by God to dare to have a different native language than English"-just test yourself how you react when hearing a non-English word out in the street or in a supermarket! Do you smile and are friendly in your heart, or do you look serious and even offended that "an inferior subhuman non-Anglo" "dares to speak a non-English language in our presence"? Then, we also have from our Englishness many other medieval forms of brutality, not possible or even imaginable elsewhere; a servant-master, "higher versus lower" mentality that means brutalizing everybody "below" you, threatening people if they do not please you; in short, we as a Nation, even when we are just among ourselves, behave as slave keepers. Then we are surprised that when visiting Paris, waiters in restaurants à la ville de la lumière may simply overlook us as soon as they detect our arrogant faces and commandeering voice, our total reluctance to descend "to the same level with a waiter" by saying at least a small "merci", let alone an unheard of "s'il vous plait". The American (English) idea of a restaurant is that a waiter is a person who is below you, so he or she is a slave or

[CTRL] Supreme Court Rules for Bush
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Supreme Court Rules for Bush Updated 10:48 PM ET December 12, 2000 By RON FOURNIER, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A U.S. Supreme Court as divided as the nation's voters ruled for George W. Bush in the Florida presidential election case Tuesday night, reversing a state court decision that had ordered new recounts sought by Al Gore. In an extraordinary late-night decision that unfolded on national television, the justices said the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court violated equal rights and there was not enough time to conduct a new effort that would meet constitutional muster. "Because it is evident that any recount seeking to meet the Dec. 12 date will be unconstitutional ... we reverse the judgment of the Supreme Court of Florida ordering the recount to proceed," the court said. The campaigns, Bush and Gore alike, were poring over the complex and detailed ruling, which came five weeks to the day after the presidential election. Florida's 25 electoral votes would decide the winner. On Monday, Gore's Democratic running mate, Joseph Lieberman, had said that if the Supreme Court "basically overrules the Florida Supreme Court ... that's probably the end of it." Gore lawyer Laurence Tribe told NBC-TV he disagreed with the decision, but "I think the courts' place in our lives is such that we all should rally around even if we disagree with the results." The court's unsigned opinion said seven justices agreed that there were constitutional problems with the recount ordered by the Florida court, but that they disagreed on the remedy. "It is obvious that the recount cannot be conducted in compliance with the requirements of equal protection and due process without substantial additional work," the court said. But the majority said that because Florida lawmakers intended in effect to complete the choosing of electors by Dec. 12 an order requiring a new recount "could not be part of an appropriate" remedy. The court issued its ruling in an unsigned opinion. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas went further in a separate opinion, saying the Florida Supreme Court also violated the Constitution and federal law in ordering the recount. In a blistering dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens called the Bush legal appeal a "federal assault" on the laws of the state of Florida. "Time will one day heal the wound to that confidence that will be inflicted by today's decision. One thing, however, is certain. Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law," Stevens wrote in a dissent joined by justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer. Also dissenting was Justice David Souter. Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony M. Kennedy did not sign any separate opinion, but their votes were counted in the main unsigned opinion. Without a recount, the certification of Bush as the winner of Florida's 25 electoral votes - and thus the presidency - would stand. In Florida, meanwhile, the state House approved a resolution that would send the Bush electors to the Electoral College if he lost in the high court. "The 2000 presidential election is spiraling out of control and we must stop it now," Republican Rep. Paula Dockery said during a heated debate in Tallahassee over GOP plans to select electors loyal to Bush. The Florida House passed the resolution, 79-41, and the Senate moved toward a possible vote on Wednesday. A few blocks away, Gore's options were reduced further when the Florida Supreme Court refused to disqualify thousands of absentee votes, many of them for Bush. Democratic attorneys had challenged the ballot applications, and Gore had expressed sympathy with the case. The ruling meant the U.S. Supreme Court was Gore's last stand. "It's down to game, set and perhaps match," said Bush ally Bill Owens, the Republican governor of Colorado. About 100 demonstrators gathered outside the nation's high court in Washington, carrying signs and often arguing among themselves. Even the Man of Steel didn't think the wait was so super; Scott LoBaido of New York, dressed as Superman, lugged a two-sided sign proclaiming this was "The End" and it was time to say "Good Night, Al. The Party Is Over." Tuesday was a deadline of sorts for states to certify their presidential electors, but both sides were focused on Dec. 18, when the Electoral College will cast its presidential votes, and on an early January deadline for Congress to count them. Florida's 25 votes would put either man over 270, the total needed to become America's 43rd president. Bush was in Texas and Gore in Washington as the justices considered the vice president's appeal to restart the manual
[CTRL] StopPlan Colombia
Via Workers World News Service Reprinted from the Dec. 14, 2000 issue of Workers World newspaper - EDITORIAL StopPlan Colombia It is encouraging news that the InternationalAction Center--which has done such good anti-war and anti-sanctions work withregard to U.S. aggression against Cuba, Iraq and Yugoslavia--has opened anotherfront in the fight to stop U.S. imperialist aggression. The visit by formerU.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and three of his associates to the liberatedareas of Colombia extends a hand of popular solidarity to another region. Thegroup's plans for an eyewitness report meeting Dec. 12 in New York gives themovement an opportunity to broaden its opposition to Washington's plans for anew Vietnam-type war in the 21st century. Last summer, when President Bill Clinton and theU.S. Congress authorized $1.3 billion for quot;Plan Colombiaquot;--most of itto buy military equipment for the Colombian army--this amounted to adeclaration of war against the people of Latin America. Specifically, itdeclared a U.S. war against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People'sArmy (FARC-EP) guerrillas who have liberated a region of Colombia the size ofSwitzerland. According to the Pentagon's public-relationsspokespeople, it never intervenes to protect and expand the interests of ahandful of billionaire bankers and oil magnates who exploit the world'sworkers. No, it intervenes to quot;stop aggression,quot; to quot;defendhuman rightsquot; and in the Latin American region to wage a quot;war ondrugs.quot; According to the Clinton administration's big lie, the FARC-EP andother guerrillas are partners with Colombian drug cartels--and that's why theU.S. must give massive military aid to the Colombian army. A story in the Dec. 5 New York Times, withoutmeaning to, debunks this big lie. It reports on and virtually extols theanti-guerrilla exploits of the so-called United Self-Defense Forces (AUC),though it admits this scurrilous gang is made up of drug-cartel enforcers armedby right-wing forces in the Colombian army. Even as it describes thesehoodlums' massacre of Colombian peasants, it alleges that they have become aneffective arm against the guerrillas. Anyone who remembers the history of the Pentagonin Vietnam and El Salvador knows that this AUC is another version of the deathsquads used by the CIA to murder and intimidate the masses. Especially sincethese masses would of their own free will choose to live in a Colombialiberated by the FARC rather than one subordinate to Washington, its puppetgovernment in Bogota and its murderous henchmen in the AUC. Members of the IAC delegation that visited SanVincente Caguan in liberated territory of Colombia now have the opportunity toarouse the movement here to the pressing need to show solidarity with theColombian workers and peasants and to fight to end Plan Colombia. We urge ourreaders who can to attend the meeting in New York Dec. 12 as the first step inthat direction. - END - (Copyleft WorkersWorld Service: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies ofthis document, but changing it is not allowed.

[CTRL] A Lesson in Academic Housecleaning
-Caveat Lector- ~~for educational purposes only~~ [Title 17 U.S.C. section 107] Pearl Harbor Historiography: A Lesson in Academic Housecleaning by Gary North Robert Stinnett closes his excellent summary article on Pearl Harbor historiography with these words: "Though the Freedom of Information Act freed the foreknowledge documents from the secretive vaults to the sunlight of the National Archives in 1995, a cottage industry continues to cover up America's foreknowledge of Pearl Harbor." Cottage industry, indeed! This cottage industry is the entire professional guild of salaried historians. Pearl Harbor's Establishment historiography remains as secure in its tenured cocoon as it was when I began college in 1959. American history textbooks are as free from the truth about Roosevelt's deliberate provocation of Japan, and his advance knowledge of Pearl Harbor, as they were in 1943. Mr. Stinnett does not have a Ph.D., nor is he employed as a history instructor. He was therefore in a position to tell the truth. This was equally true of journalist George Morgenstern, whose 1947 book on Pearl Harbor was the first to put the story together in one detailed volume. The historical guild paid no attention to Morgenstern. We shall see if it pays attention to Stinnett. I strongly doubt that the reception will be either favorable or widespread. A week ago, I sent a letter to a group of my subscribers. It provided background on the issues raised by Mr. Stinnett. I made this point, in the context of how intellectual guilds operate. They adopt a three-phase position on a controversial new idea. 1. The story isn't true. 2. The story is true, but so what? 3. We always knew it was true. I then illustrated this with the historiography of Pearl Harbor. Here is what I wrote. * * * * * * * * Consider the conservatives' account of Roosevelt's advance warning of the Japanese attack in late 1941. When George Morgenstern wrote Pearl Harbor: The Story of a Secret War, only right-wing Devin-Adair would publish it (1947). The book was ridiculed by academic historians as being a pack of unsubstantiated opinions written by a mere journalist and a Chicago Tribune journalist at that. When the premier liberal historian, Charles A. Beard, said much the same thing the next year in President Roosevelt and the Coming of the War (Yale University Press), he was dismissed by his colleagues as senile, and he permanently lost his reputation. When the premier American diplomatic historian, Charles C. Tansill, said it again in 1952 in his Back Door to War (Regnery), he, too, was shoved down the liberals' memory hole. Today, the revisionist account of Pearl Harbor is more widely accepted, and is gaining ground fast. Another journalist, Robert B. Stinnett, recently found the "smoking gun" an 8-page 1940 memo by a lieutenant commander in the navy on how to get Japan to attack us, a memo that Roosevelt adopted, point by point. His book is titled, Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor (Free Press, 1999). Stinnett served under a young George Bush during World War II. His book is the capstone to his career. The liberals are now moving to stage 2: "The story is true, but so what?" Stinnett's book argues that Roosevelt basically did the right thing in luring the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor. This attack overcame America's anti-interventionists, who had 88% of the people behind them in 1940. Pearl Harbor got us into the War in Europe. It didn't, of course. Hitler's suicidal declaration of war on the United States on the following Thursday is what got us into the European war. It will be a long time before liberal historians get to stage 3: "We always knew it was true." They will not admit how they smeared the reputations of first-rate historians who told the truth early, and then for the next fifty years used their power over graduate schools and professional academic journals to screen out the truth. The issue was power, and liberals respect it and use it. * * * * * * * * * * What happened to Beard sent a warning to any aspiring young grad student who might have been tempted to follow in Beard's revisionist path. Beard was at the end of a long and distinguished career. He was the only scholar ever to be elected as president of both the American Historical Association and the American Political Science Association. But his academic achievements gained him no mercy when he broke ranks on Pearl Harbor. James J. Martin, the premier revisionist historian after Harry Elmer Barnes died in 1968, in 1981 provided an account of what happened. Beard not only infuriated the influential supporters of Roosevelt by his insistence that the continuous deception by the President in making his steady moves toward war while endlessly talking about his peacefulness (few were allowed to forget his pre-election promise in 1940 never to send Americans off to a war outside U.S. borders) was in essentials, as Leighton described it, "completely to
