[CTRL] Ashcroft's tough Sell
-Caveat Lector- http://www.salon.com/news/col/cona/2001/01/16/ashcroft/print.html Ashcroft's tough Sell A segregationist group is banking on the hard-on-crime attorney general nominee to drop a murder conspiracy case against one of its own. By Joe Conason Jan. 16, 2001 | As A HREF="http://www.salon.com/directory/topics/john_ashcroft/"John Ashcroft/A seeks confirmation by his former colleagues in the Senate, the nominee for attorney general cannot afford the slightest taint of extremism. His ultraconservative record on such issues as abortion, affirmative action and civil rights has already stimulated intense controversy. And opponents of his nomination have sharply questioned the Missouri Republican's racial attitudes because of his opposition to a Federal judgeship for African-American jurist A HREF="http://www.salon.com/politics/feature/2001/01/08/ashcroft/index.html"Ronnie White/A and his A HREF="http://www.templeofdemocracy.com/SouthernPartisanIndex1999.htm#Ashcroft"endorsement of the Southern Partisan,/A a racist, pro-Confederate magazine which has praised the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Now Ashcroft has been asked to explain why he met last fall with Thomas Bugel, the president of the militantly racist A HREF="http://www.cofcc.org/"Council of Conservative Citizens /A and a veteran leader of segregationist groups in the St. Louis area. In the midst of his hard-fought, unsuccessful Senate reelection campaign, Ashcroft sat down with Bugel at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport on September 22. Their meeting took place only weeks before Ashcroft's Democratic opponent, Governor Mel Carnahan, was killed along with his son and campaign manager in a plane crash. Bugel wanted to talk with the senator about the case of Dr. Charles "Tom" Sell, a local dentist under indictment for plotting to murder an FBI agent and a federal witness. Over the past two years Bugel and other leaders of the white supremacist group have been agitating for the release of Sell, a longtime CCC member who has advertised his dental services on Baum's local radio program. They have succeeded in getting Ashcroft, Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., and other legislators to write letters to the Justice Department seeking an investigation of the unusual circumstances under which Sell has been held in federal custody for most of the past three years without trial. "As is typical in these types of cases, the senators made inquiries to the appropriate federal agencies for more information and that information was all sent to the federal bureau of prisons," said Bush transition office spokeswoman Mindy Tucker. According to Tucker, the meeting between Ashcroft and Bugel ended after "approximately 10 minutes." Tucker said that the then senator took no subsequent action on the Sell case. She said Ashcroft "would not have met with [Bugel]" if he had been aware of Bugel's affiliation with the CCC. Yet that denial isn't fully credible, given Bugel's longtime prominence as an agitator against racial integration in Ashcroft's home state, where the CCC maintains both its national headquarters and an active local chapter. Bugel is no obscure figure in St. Louis. Between 1987 and 1993 he led a white militant faction on the city's school board, fighting against implementation of a judicially-ordered busing plan. During that period, when urban school integation became the hottest political issue in Missouri, Ashcroft served as state attorney general and governor. These days, however, Bugel's cause célèbre is the strange matter of Dr. Sell, a dentist whose friends (and former patients) include Gordon Baum, the "chief executive officer" of the national CCC. In May 1997, the dentist was arrested in his office by FBI agents on charges of Medicaid fraud. Later that year, the FBI was approached by a St. Louis couple who made a stunning accusation against Sell and his wife Mary. They claimed that the Sells had tried to hire them to murder both the FBI agent who had arrested Dr. Sell and a former employee of the dentist who was the chief witness against him in the fraud case. Expanding its investigation, the FBI secretly taped six hours of conversations between the Sells and the other couple that winter. A St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter who later listened to those tapes described them as "incriminating." The Sells were indicted for murder conspiracy in April 1998, and Mary Sell later pled guilty and implicated her husband in the alleged plot. More than two years after his indictment, however, Tom Sell has yet to come to trial. During most of that time he has been held in a federal prison hospital in Springfield, Mo. The U.S. attorney in St. Louis says that psychiatric examinations of the dentist show that he is mentally ill and therefore unfit to stand trial. But Dr. Sell, who insists he is both innocent and sane, has refused medication with anti-psychotic drugs that the government believes would make him fit for trial. During this lengthy legal
[CTRL] NM: The Riady Case: Ashcroft's Revenge?
-Caveat Lector- With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2001 1:31 a.m. EST The Riady Case: Ashcroft's Revenge? Senate Democrats may regret giving would-be Bush attorney general John Ashcroft such a hard time during his confirmation hearings - especially now that the case of Clinton billionaire-crony James Riady will be among the first major investigations on Ashcroft's calendar after he takes office. Riady's sweetheart plea bargain with the Clinton Justice Department, which was supposed to be finalized by a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, has hit a major bump in the road. First the case had to be postponed, probably till late February or early March, according to a court spokesman, after the presiding judge needed more time to recover from surgery. Complicating matters further, the court seemed receptive to the argument from lawyers for the public interest law firm Judicial Watch that the deal didn't cover important charges against the wealthy Indonesian. Investigators have long suspected that President Clinton may have traded key foreign policy decisions for campaign cash from Riady, who is also believed to have funneled hush money to key Whitewater witness Webb Hubbell. With Tuesday's postponement, the truth behind such machinations may be harder to keep from the prying eyes of investigators. Not only is Riady's newly assigned judge, Ronald Lew, a Reagan appointee, the postponement means Lew will be operating free from constraints of the Clinton-Reno Justice Department, under which obstructing the campaign finance probe was priority No. 1. Clinton Justice had announced its deal with Riady on Friday, an arrangement that compelled the Asian tycoon to plead guilty to illegally reimbursing campaign donors with foreign corporate funds and to pay $8.6 million in fines. Also part of the deal: Lippo Bank of California, a subsidiary of the Riady family's Lippo Group, agreed to plead guilty to 86 misdemeanor counts charging that their man in the Clinton administration, John Huang, donated foreign campaign cash to Clinton and the Democrats from 1988 through 1994. But on Monday, New York Times columnist William Safire revealed the most significant aspect of Riady's plea bargain: "What if a federal judge at tomorrow's scheduled hearing in Los Angeles should object to the wrist slap arranged by outgoing Reno aides and give Riady the jail sentence the totality of his wrongdoing deserves?" the columnist asked. "In that case, Justice has agreed to nullify the confession and promises not to arrest him as he leaves the country." It's difficult to imagine straight arrow Attorney General Ashcroft feeling obligated by Clinton Justice's promise to deep-six Riady's confession - let alone standing idly by as the Clinton moneyman hotfoots it out of the country one jump ahead of the sheriff. In fact, the temporarily shelved Clinton-Riady plea bargain may end up being just the springboard the Bush-Ashcroft Justice Department needs to launch a full-fledged Chinagate probe. That possibility seemed to be on the mind of Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton on Tuesday. "Judge Lew won't be considering the plea until well into the Bush-Cheney administration and we hope that a new Justice Department will pursue this case differently," Fitton told Reuters. "We'll be there [at the plea hearing] asking that Lew reject it." = 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] Fwd: [Spy News] FW: Best wishes from Gaza, By Dr. Mona El Farra
-Original Message- From: International Justice Watch Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dr Peter Hall Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 10:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Best wishes from Gaza, By Dr. Mona El Farra I do not know Dr. Mona El Farra but his anguished message comes via Gaza Community Mental Health Programme, which I do know. The GCMHP has worked closely with the world famous (UK) Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture, and the two organisations hold each other in high mutual regard. Peter Hall = Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 13:28:11 +0200 Best wishes from Gaza, I woke up this morning to hear the shocking news of my mother's house demolition. The Israeli Bulldozers demolished the water well adjacent to the house, as well as tens of houses in the area. They also uprooted vast areas of bountiful agricultural land, that includes orange, olive and guava groves. Many families in the area are homeless, with the Red Cross just recently supplying them with tents. I cannot explain to you how bad I feel; all my childhood memories, our Familys proud moments of when water was pumped from that well for the first time are damaged also by this act. I still remember my late father's rare photos, the minute I drank that water out of his hands .I still remember the joy of the relatives, friends and neighbors coming to celebrate this moment with us. The olive, orange and Guafa trees, and many other trees do not carry symbolic value only, but also they have great economic value. They are the lifelines for many families in the area. To these people, agriculture is their only income. The Israelis aim to decimate our already annihilated economy, to uproot us, to destroy our culture and to deny our very existence on this land for thousands of years. It is of worth to tell you that the Israeli army did not give any warning to us, or to the rest of the families, prior to the house demolitions. The houses were demolished with furniture inside. As you know my mother lives in that house, but recently I invited her to live temporally with me to be able to take care of her during this difficult time. My mother feels so bad about what happened. Our thoughts are with our neighbors who are very poor and have no alternative homes. Beside all what I mentioned, these demolitions are huge blow to the environment. Some of the trees, especially what we call "Jummaiz" trees, are very rare species. What is happening is a major violation of human rights, economy environment and peace. I feel angry, helpless, devastated and abandoned. The sad fact is that despite all these crimes against humanity, most Israelis do not care. They know that they will, once again go unpunished by the international community. The support for the Palestinians is extremely fragile. The world is always willing to blame the victim, the Palestinians. However, I will not lose faith. During these difficult moments, I remember a very touching poem, written by the most gifted Palestinian poet, Mahmoud Darwish, I came back from the dead, To live I represent an uncompromising wound, The brutality of my executor has taught me, To bite the bullet, And carry on, And sing, I will sing, I will resist, I will resist. I can assure you, that one day, we will replant these trees, rebuild our houses and water will flow again, even stronger than before, hopefully washing away the horrific memories of decades long Israeli aggression. We may be weak, but justice is on our side and one-day it will prevail All my love, Dr. Mona El - Farra Union of Health Work Committees - Gaza -- Please visit our site: Gaza Community Mental Health Programme http://www.gcmhp.net == SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station http://mprofaca.cro.net/mainmenu.html == *** NOTICE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.

[CTRL] Poll: Americans Don't Trust Clinton
http://www.wnd.com/frame/direct.asp?SITE=dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010117/e l/transition_polls_4.html Wednesday January 17 9:30 PM ET Poll: Americans Don't Trust Clinton By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans don't really trust President Clinton (news - web sites), and they don't think much of his morals, says a new poll. But a strong majority surely think he's done a good job running the country. An ABC News-Washington Post poll released Wednesday night showed that 65 percent approve of his job performance, about the same as the job approval rating Ronald Reagan had at the end of his term. They had the highest end-of-term rating of any president in the last half-century. The approval of Clinton's job performance has tracked closely with public perception of economic conditions. As the economic recovery began to gain momentum in the summer of 1996, the president's approval rating crept above 60 percent. The public's view of Clinton is sharply divided along partisan lines, with 93 percent of Democrats approving of his job performance and only 32 percent of Republicans. Clinton gets positive marks from different groups. Six in 10 Republicans and conservatives approve of his handling of the economy. Three-fourths overall approve of his handling of the economy and of race relations, while almost that many approve of his handling of foreign affairs. Only half approve of his handling of health care, and six in 10 approve of his handling of the welfare system. As he prepares to leave office Saturday, Americans are decidedly less upbeat on personal measures of Clinton. Three-fourths say he does not have high moral and ethical standards, and almost that many say he is not trustworthy. Two-thirds said he is a strong leader, and half say he will be thought of as an outstanding or above-average president. And six in 10 say he should not be charged with a crime for lying under oath about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. People remain sharply divided on whether Clinton should have been impeached, with just over half saying he should not have been. They also are split on whether they have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the president. The ABC-Post poll of 1,513 adults was taken Jan. 11-15 and has an error margin of 2.5 percentage points. Looking ahead, half of Americans said they are at least somewhat optimistic about the next four years, according to another new poll, as President-elect Bush prepares to take office at the same time that confidence in the economy is slipping. About four in 10 say they're confident Bush has the right goals and policies as well as the right personal characteristics to be president, according to the NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday evening. Almost that many say they are only somewhat confident he has those goals and characteristics. Just over half, 53 percent, said the conditions faced by Bush will be more difficult than those that faced Bill Clinton when he became president in 1993. Roughly the same number felt that Clinton faced more difficult circumstances that Bush's father did when he became president in 1988. The NBC-Journal poll of 1,018 adults was taken Saturday through Monday and has an error margin of 3 percentage points. Republican polling done the day after the presidential election, found that voters who backed Bush did so both because of his personality and his agenda. According to the GOP poll, more people thought Bush was intelligent - a question raised about him during the campaign - than thought Democratic nominee Al Gore (news - web sites) was honest, one of the major criticisms of the Democrat. And the poll found that Gore won the last week of the election campaign ``primarily because the Democrats trashed George Bush, especially in the African-American community and made black voters vote against George Bush rather than for Al Gore,'' said GOP pollster Whit Ayres of Atlanta, who conducted the national poll of 1,200 voters on Nov. 8 and presented it Wednesday to the Republican National Committee (news - web sites). That poll also had a 3 percentage point error margin. WorldNetDaily.url
[CTRL] Jesse suddenly bows out of public life after disclosure of mistress
http://www.wnd.com/frame/direct.asp?SITE=www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/20 501.htm REV. IS IN A SORRY' STATE Thursday,January 18,2001 By TRACY CONNOR JESSE JACKSON N.Y. Post: Mary McLauglin A "truly sorry" Rev. Jesse Jackson revealed last night that he fathered a love child two years ago - and said he's dropping out of public life to reconcile with his devastated family. The extraordinary admission came as the National Enquirer published a story about Jackson's secret affair with Rainbow Coalition activist Karin Stanford. The bombshell report details how the married civil-rights leader romanced the ex-professor while serving as spiritual adviser to President Clinton during Sexgate and even took his pregnant mistress to the White House. "I am father to a daughter who was born outside of my marriage," Jackson said in a statement to The Post. "As her mother does, I love this child very much and have assumed responsibility for her emotional and financial support since she was born," he continued. "This is no time for evasions, denials or alibis. I fully accept responsibility and I am truly sorry for my actions." The fiery preacher - who has been hammering away at some of George W. Bush's Cabinet appointments in recent days - said he was taking time off from his "public ministry" because of the scandal. It was unclear if he was canceling plans to lead a massive march on the Florida state capitol on Inauguration Day to protest the presidential election mess. The Post contacted Stanford, 39, at her home in south Los Angeles several times this week. She and family members politely declined to comment on her affair with Jackson, 59. But she told the Enquirer: "Jesse and I still have a very warm and close relationship." Since DNA tests determined he was the father of the 20-month-old girl - Stanford was seeing another man when she got pregnant - Jackson has been paying $10,000 a month in support. He also gave the single mom $40,000 for "moving expenses" when she took maternity leave and left Washington, D.C., for her native California. Their fateful liaison began after Jackson, impressed by a book Stanford had written about his impact on foreign policy, hired her to run the Rainbow Coalition's Washington office. The affair coincided with the explosion of the Sexgate scandal and Jackson's unofficial position as adviser to Clinton on his adulterous fling with intern Monica Lewinsky. In August 1998, around the time his out-of-wedlock child was conceived, Jackson urged the public to forgive the president for cheating on his wife. "The nation must take the test: If there are any among us who have not known the trials and tribulations and temptations, then throw a rock," he said. "At some point, we have to forgive, redeem and move on." That December, he escorted a four-months-pregnant Stanford and other Rainbow Coalition staffers to meet President Clinton and stood next to her during a photo opportunity. It wasn't long before word of the escapades reached the homefront - and Jackson's enraged wife of 38 years, Jackie, confronted Stanford at the Rainbow Coalition offices, the Enquirer said. "Jackie screamed at Karin that she'd raised Jesse's children and had been at his side through really tough times," a source told the weekly. "She accused Karin of getting pregnant on purpose." And Stanford admitted: "I would not be surprised if his family hated me." Even after the blowup, Jackson - who was born out of wedlock himself - was clearly not ready to acknowledge the child was his. In a March 1999 newsletter, he announced Stanford would soon be taking maternity leave for "the birth of her first child" with her attorney boyfriend. A week later, he announced he had decided not to seek the Democratic nomination for president, reprising his 1984 and 1988 campaigns. Stanford was involved with another man when she found out she was pregnant and left blank the space for the father's name on the birth certificate when her daughter was born in May. But a DNA test confirmed Jackson was the father of the baby, who reportedly shares with him a genetic trait for sickle-cell anemia.

[CTRL] WSJ: President Paradox
-Caveat Lector- THE CLINTON LEGACY President Paradox It's been another decade of greed. But this time it was OK to feel good about it. BY FRANCIS FUKUYAMA Thursday, January 18, 2001 12:01 a.m. EST Now that the New York Times has weighed in with another of its interminable series on the "Clinton Legacy," what more is there to be said about the eight years that are now coming to a close? Perhaps it is best to drop down below the level of the North American Free Trade Agreement, of welfare reform or the peace process, and look at how the social and cultural texture of America has changed under the presidency now ending. Social statistics tell us that things have gotten better. The relentless cultural decline that at the beginning of the 1990s seemed like a fact of nature ground to a halt and, miraculously, reversed direction while Bill Clinton was president. As most Americans are well aware, crime rates have gone down by about 20% nationally and much more steeply in individual cities like New York. Lower crime rates had a variety of positive spillover effects in terms of great social trust: Urban spaces could be reclaimed for urbane uses by the middle class, rather than being dominated by the extremely rich and extremely poor. The proportion of unwed mothers stopped increasing by 1994 and even declined slightly thereafter. Teenage pregnancy rates dropped more dramatically, and the rate of divorce drifted downward. So far so good. But the social reality of what Tom Wolfe calls our "wild, bizarre, unpredictable, Hog-stomping Baroque country" during the Clinton years can be unbelievably contradictory and complex. Ballroom dancing, home schooling, and sexual abstinence can all be major trends next to body piercing and downing ecstasy pills. This contradictory reality is probably better described by a novelist (as Mr. Wolfe himself has done effectively) than by a social scientist armed with statistics. Take the question of class. It is true that income inequality slowed its rate of increase in the 1990s. But it didn't decline, either, and the meaning of working class, middle class, and rich all changed. Back in the 1950s, America's sizable working class--people who work in factories, build houses, or police the streets--could think of itself as middle class because class was defined in terms of ownership of assets like a home, a car, and a washing machine. One consequence of the 1990s "knowledge economy" was the emergence of a new economic gulf, as the working class, now a much smaller part of the labor force, moved downward in status and income, and the middle and professional classes moved up. The latter reconciled themselves to Reaganite economics as half of all households came to own equities by the late 1990s. Liberals in this group were taken aback by the anger of working Americans over Nafta, China and globalization. But culturally, there was a convergence as the working class drifted to the left while prosperous baby boomers now raising families became more traditional. Better-educated people who still thought of themselves as middle class changed as well. With so many women moving into the work force, it once again became a common experience for people who didn't think of themselves as rich to have servants. There is in Colorado a new school for servants that teaches its female students not to be too pretty, lest they threaten the lady of the house. Its graduates work for people who, by and large, have not grown up with servants themselves, and who try to be on a first-name basis with their butlers. This sort of egalitarianism, it turns out, doesn't work any better in the 1990s than in the 1890s. In the Clinton years, the rich got unbelievably rich. In the 1980s, having a net worth in multiples of $100 million seemed like a lot of money. Today, that's a technology baron's chump change. The areas surrounding New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington are now filled in with new subdivisions of trophy homes where a husband, wife (perhaps herself a trophy), and a child or two occupy a minimum of 10,000 square feet. It is amazing what happens when a society of well-educated people has money to burn. The high end of everything exploded during the 1990s. Cigars, microbrew beers, camping gear, gas barbecues, home theaters, and mountain bikes now all have legions of devotees. There are firms that specialize in refurbishing antique license plates, or that manufacture vacuum tubes out of production since the 1930s. In today's America, you can easily pay $10,000 for a pair of wires to connect your high-end CD player to your high-end amplifier, and read reviews of how they "sound" compared to other five-figure cables. The self-perception of the newly rich changed in significant ways. The media managed to label the Reagan years the "decade of greed," symbolized by corporate takeovers, a booming stock market and Nancy Reagan's dresses. The Clinton years, which have seen

In 1983, the Court ruled that the IRS 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organizations are under the rule of the wicked in government. Now the U. S. Supreme Court has refused to hear the IBT case while hearing a case concerning professional golfers being allowed to use a golf cart. Read about it HERE! http://www.friendsofliberty.com/2001/00121_01.htm === Item 2 http://www.SierraTimes.com SierraTimes.com Update Direct E-mail Update 01.16.01 15:40 ranch time High Court Refuses to Hear Church's Tax Case Appeal Indianapolis Baptist Temple faces foreclosure for refusing to collect employees' tax contributions on religious liberty grounds. By Beliefnet News Services WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 -- The U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday refused a request by members of the Indianapolis Baptist Temple to hear an appeal of a federal judge's foreclosure order.The justices meet in conference to decide which cases among hundreds will be granted a hearing during its spring session, but did not include the Baptist Temple case among those it choose to hear.The Baptist Temple was appealing a judge's order that U.S. marshals seize church property to settle a $6 million tax debt.Roughly 80 church members were attending a worship service Tuesday morning when the senior pastor, the Rev. Greg A. Dixon, received word of the Supreme Court decision on his cell phone, the Indianapolis Star reported."I fully expect the federal marshals to come in at (any) given time" Dixon said "We're going to mourn the death of religious liberty."Two members of the high court, including Chief Justice William Rehnquist, had already turned down the church's previous request for an emergency stay of the foreclosure.There was speculation that once the possibility of a hearing by the high court was erased, federal marshals would move quickly to seize the church's property. However, there was no immediate sign of police or federal agents around the church.U.S. Marshal Frank Anderson repeatedly has said the marshals will seize the church when the timing will minimize any risk of injuries. The U.S. Department of Justice says the church owes about $6 million in back taxes, interest and penalties because church leaders have refused to collect employee withholding and Social Security taxes.U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker ordered members to vacate the church by Nov. 14 and gave federal marshals permission to use any necessary force to take possession of the building.As members of the church have maintained a protective vigil inside the temple for the past nine weeks, the issue has attracted national attention from various religious and anti-tax groups. Church members have argued that the federal government has violated its constitutional right to the free exercise of religion. Moreover, pastor Gregory A. Dixon has said that since temple members recognize Jesus Christ as the only authority over the church, the withholding of taxes would impose a secular control.Founded in 1950, the 1,000-member Baptist Temple owns 22 acres and has a half-dozen pastors on staff. The church Web site describes the congregation as "an unregistered Baptist congregation whose head is not the state, but the Lord Jesus Christ. The Indianapolis Baptist Temple does not participate in government programs. "The Web site adds: "The Indianapolis Baptist Temple is a New Testament congregation made up of scripturally baptized believers. We exist to exalt Jesus Christ, edify the saints through the Word of God and evangelize our world. We must not veer from our God-given mandate."The Indianapolis Baptist Temple is congregational in practice which simply means the people under the leadership of the Pastor are responsible for all decisions, activity and service."A New Testament congregation should be militant, which simply means believers should aggressively 'contend for the faith' as they exalt Christ, edify saints and evangelize the world."

LABOR APOLOGIES ALL AROUND The talk of the day is last night's debut of the Prime Ministerial election campaign commercials. Each candidate is allotted an equal amount of time for television (and radio) ads, which will appear on both major channels at specific times each evening for the next three weeks. Last night's ads featured Prime Minister Barak enumerating his mistakes and promising to correct them, while Ariel Sharon's ads emphasized his distinguished military career - up to but not including the Peace for Galilee War. The Labor party had to deal with two awkward incidents in connection with the ads. First, it issued an apology to the family of the late Sgt. Shimon Shitubi. One of the ads, proudly showing off Barak's main "accomplishment," showed Shitubi as one of the soldiers happily leaving Lebanon during the IDF withdrawal last May; Shitubi was killed by a Palestinian policeman in Kfar Darom two months ago. Army Radio commentator Uri Orbach said that the error is much more than a technical oversight: "It shows that continued running away does not solve the deeper problem, and that the security dangers we are now facing are a direct continuation of these mistaken policies." Another Labor party error occurred when Shimon Peres, who was shown endorsing Barak's candidacy, said that Ehud Barak had prepared the plan for the rescue of the Entebbe hostages in 1976. Peres made two calls of apology this morning: One to former IDF Chief of Staff Dan Shomron, who served as overall commander (Col. Yoni Netanyahu was the assault commander) of the rescue operation; Peres said he was sorry for attributing the Entebbe plan to Barak, instead of to Shomron himself. He then called Dalia Rabin-Pilosoph, daughter of Yitzchak Rabin, to apologize for not having mentioned her father's name in connection with the rescue. Rabin, as Prime Minister in July 1976, gave the approval for the Entebbe rescue operation. 2. RESTRICTIONS DROPPED, ISRAELI NEGOTIATOR QUITS Despite the continued Palestinian terrorism in Gaza - including the murder of Roni Tzalach on Sunday night - talks between Israeli and Palestinian representatives continue at a steady pace. Though army sources note a drop in Arab shootings, to only 3-5 for each of the last few days, Palestinians did shoot at several Israeli targets in Gaza last night. At the same time, at the Erez Checkpoint not far away, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were agreeing on the further easing of security restrictions: The PA's Dahaniyeh airport will be re-opened after a one-day closing, as will the Rafiach and Karni crossings, Palestinian workers will be allowed to cross into pre-1967 Israel, and the main north-south Gaza highway, which passes by Kfar Darom, will be re-opened to Palestinian traffic. In response to the opening of the airport, MK Tzvi Hendel said this morning, "Apparently, the murder of a Jew is worth a one-day closure of the airport." Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami is in Cairo, briefing Egypt's President Mubarak on the latest developments in the talks. Ben-Ami will meet with Arafat tonight. Israeli and Palestinian delegations will meet in Jerusalem today, for the
[CTRL] Sherman Skolnick articles
-Caveat Lector- The peerless Sherman Skolnick has posted 2 new fascinating articles on the Red Chinese and American Elections. http://skolnicksreport.com via http://leviathan.weblogs.com RED CHINA and THE AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS Part One by Sherman H. Skolnick 1/15/01 Where did it start and when and how will it end? To understand that, requires pulling together little understood facts and making some sense of them. Perhaps this will give you a door into a better handle on the situation. As an upcoming industrial power, Japan was always down-rated by the West. When they destroyed the Czar of Russia's Pacific naval fleet at Port Arthur, early in the 20th Century, Americans and Russians were suitably shocked. How is it they did not understand? In World War One, Japan was an ally of the Western Powers. The Japanese Royal Family interlocked with their business cartels, the Zai-batsu, and had plenty of financial muscle. They began pulling away from America in the 1930s. The Japanese Monarchy had huge deposits in U.S. banks. They angered the American aristocracy by withdrawing those deposits and contributing to the then oncoming bank collapse. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to declare a bank holiday, an emergency, right after being inaugurated in 1933. When the common people of one nation are angered by those of another country, that is ethnic, nationalist, or religious friction. But, when the aristocracy of one country is really sore at the aristocracy of another country, however, that is not simply opposition; that means WAR. Japan began attacking China 1931. President Roosvelt sent in a top military expert, Brig.General Claire Chennault, to find out why the Chinese did not have an effective air force to counter the Japanese attacks. China began making demands for material assistance on the American government as well as American financiers. After all, with another World War expected, the U.S. needed items from China, such as tungsten, for the making of airplanes and battleships. One result was that American mercenaries became involved in aiding China fight an air war against Japan. They were called "The Flying Tigers". From documents released more than fifty years AFTER the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December, 1941, it became evident that the Japanese may have felt justified attacking our fleet and airfields in Hawaii. Six months BEFORE Pearl Harbor, the Flying Tigers were part of an American plan to aid the Chinese, known to the Japanese, to bomb Japan. [In recent years, Barbara Walters and ABC Network did a documentary, based on those documents, on this American plan to bomb Tokyo six months BEFORE Pearl Harbor.] Part of the world's then richest family, May-ling Soong, known as Madame Chiang Kai-shek, was the wife of the Chinese dictator. Her family member, T.V. Soong, was considered one of the richest men in the world. Their fortune, in great part, was based on narcotics exports. The American government contemplated that assisting China with war loans would minimize dope addiction in American. [Then, as now, the major dope coming into the U.S. was and is from China, now called "China White". The monopoly press, to protect Red China, falsely states the major dope now is from Colombia.] The American hope then was that narcotics exporting to the U.S. would diminish. Even all during World War Two, however, corrupt Chinese generals were in charge of dope exports, even, on occasion, through Japanese lines, down the Burma Road, and elsewhere. [Numerous details are in the book, "The Soong Dynasty" by Sterling Seagrave, hardback edition, Harper Row, N.Y., 1985, pages 368-369.] Historically, arranging the finances of the dope cartel was the British bank owned jointly by the British Monarchy and dope-rich families of Shanghai, the HONG KONG SHANGHAI BANK. [See, for example, the book "Dope, Inc."] The Queen of England, through the bank owned by her, Coutts Bank London, has a joint account for laundering illicit funds such as from the dope trafficking, jointly with George Herbert Walker Bush and his sons, George W., Jeb, and Neil. [See Federal Reserve secret wire transfer records, attached to our website series, "Greenspan Aids and Bribes the Bush Family".] The reputed head of the Red Chinese Secret Police IN THE UNITED STATES is tied to the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. He lives in the Midwest and has direct communications links with the White House. [Visit our website series, "The Red Chinese Secret Police in the United States".] To benefit ethnic Chinese in controlling oil-rich Indonesia, the American CIA, in 1965, arranged the mass murders of some half a million of that nation of islands. The excuse, other than that the ones to be slaughtered, opposed the CIA-installed regime? The victims were considered and perceived as being "Reds", whether actually true or not did not seem to matter. Made fantastically rich on reputed dope

-Caveat Lector- From January 18, 2001 News Insider http://newsinsider.cjb.net/ Vatican Sued for Looting Nazi Gold Under CIA, MI Permission The Lawsuit Against the Vatican and the CIA By Jonathan Levy * 17 January 2001 I am co-lead counsel for plaintiffs on two class action lawsuit involving WWII era restitution claims filed in the United States District Court for Northern California. I am the plaintiff in another lawsuit filed under the Freedom of Information Act that requests contemporaneous documents from the CIA and Army. The lawsuits are: Alperin v. Vatican Bank C99-4941 MMC - A lawsuit by Serb, Jewish, and Ukrainian survivors seeking restitution and an accounting of the WWII Ustasha treasury which was laundered after the war with the help of the Vatican and Swiss Banks, Franciscan Order, and Croatian Liberation Movement. Naumovic v. SNB C-00-3636 BZ - A lawsuit on behalf of gentile Holocaust victims from the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia seeking an accounting of gold looted by the Nazis and their allies and processed through the Reichsbank, Swiss Banks, Bank for International Settlements, and the Vatican Bank during WWII. Levy v. Army CIA C-00-3103 PJH - A Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking declassification of Army and CIA files about the chief of the Vatican "ratline [1]" agent Fr. Krunoslav Draganovic. The chief expert witness [2] retained for these lawsuits is John Loftus, former Department of Justice, Office of Special Investigations attorney (Nazi hunting unit), co-author with Mark Aarons of Unholy Trinity: The Vatican, The Nazis, and The Swiss banks; The Secret War Against the Jews and author of The Belarus Secret. The lawsuits themselves are based on the evidence unearthed by Loftus' research spanning two decades. Loftus was an important source for a 1998 US State Department report (Eisenstat/Slany Report: The Fate of the Ustasha [3] Treasury) [4], which focused attention on the Vatican's role in laundering the Ustashe funds. In a nutshell, Loftus and others have theorized that the genocide of World War II directed at Jews, Serbs, Roma, Soviets, and others by the Nazis and their allies generated vast amounts of loot and plunder including gold coins, wedding rings, and dental gold from concentration camps. These genocide-tainted treasures were re-smelted at the Reichsbank and other central collection points [5] and laundered through the Swiss banks [\cite 6], Bank for International Settlements [7] and the Vatican Banks [\cite 8] during and after WWII. According to Loftus, much of the postwar Ustashe and Vatican activity was cloaked in the guise of anti-Communist activities and was encouraged or actively sponsored initially by British Intelligence and later the CIA and in particular Alan Dulles and James Jesus Angleton. Most remarkable among the Nazis postwar were the Croatian Ustashe. Unlike the Germans whose major criminals faced a war crimes tribunal at Nuremburg, virtually the entire Ustashe hierarchy including their leader or Poglavnik [9], Ante Pavelic, escaped justice. And even more surprisingly they took with them into exile the monetary proceeds of the extermination of 750,000 Serbs, Jews, and Roma. Pavelic, known as the "butcher of the Balkans", was an honored guest at the Vatican between 1945 and 1947 [10] while other war criminals swing from a noose. Artukovic, the Himmler of Croatia, the man responsible for death camps where hundreds of thousands of Serbs were shot, burned alive, or bludgeoned to death with special hammers, lived openly in Southern California for over thirty years, while private Congressional bills assured his safety from deportation [11]. Other Ustashe, such as the sadist Luburic, purchased villas in Spain [12] or started new lives as businessman in Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela. But, unlike other ex-Nazis, the Ustashe did not lose their fascist ideology, instead they openly reestablished their Nazi party in Buenos Aires and by 1956 were beginning a new campaign of terror which ultimately reached the United States in the 1970s and 1980s resulting in hijackings, bombings, and murders [13]. John Loftus and coauthor Mark Aarons and other researchers, notably Christopher Simpson in Blowback and the Andersons in Inside the League, have theorized that the postwar Ustashe revival was no accident. The Ustashe [14] even in their pre WWII days, had been one of the best organized terrorist organizations in Europe, successfully assassinating King Alexander II of Yugoslavia and the French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou in Marseilles in 1934. After WWII, the Ustashe's knowledge of codes, smuggling, and black marketeering served them well. The Ustashe also had powerful patrons among the Catholic Church hierarchy, including the Franciscan Order and Vatican Secretariat of State [15]. But this did not explain entirely their phenomenal success in evading war crimes tribunals. The Ustashe were not only tolerated postwar but nurtured by the American

[CTRL] Saddam Hussein calls Arab countries to enable his army to pass through to fight Israel
-Caveat Lector- http://www2.haaretz.co.il/breaking- news/MiddleEastNews/348264.stm January 17, 2001 17:52 (Israel time) Saddam Hussein calls Arab countries to enable his army to pass through to fight Israel By Daniel Sobelman, Ha'aretz Correspondent and Reuters Iraqi President Saddam Hussein called for the annihilation of the state of Israel and for the establishment of a "Palestine state from the river to the sea", in a televised speech marking the Gulf War's 10th anniversary. Saddam emphasized his support of the Palestinians in their struggle against Israel. Saddam also called on the Arab states to enable his army to pass through their land on its way to annihilate Israel. Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians marched in praise of Iraqi leader Saddam on Wednesday, the 10th anniversary of the start of the Gulf War. "The Palestinian and the Iraqi peoples are in the first trench against Zionism, imperialism and aggression," read one of the banners waved by the crowd. Despite Iraq's impoverishment since the war, Saddam makes generous payments to the families of Palestinians killed and wounded in their 16-week uprising against Israeli occupation. Many Palestinians consider Saddam a hero for resisting the powerful U.S.-led military coalition which ejected Iraqi troops who had invaded neighboring Kuwait. Palestinian babies are named after him. Wednesday's demonstrators marched to the main United Nations office in Gaza City, urging the international community to lift sanctions imposed after the invasion of Kuwait in 1990. They called on the Iraqi leader to repeat the Scud missile strikes he launched against Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities during the Gulf War. "Dear Saddam, hit Tel Aviv," they said. copyright 2000 Ha'aretz.

Saba Do You Swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth... Lawyer Story: A small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial -- a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you." The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Williams, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to babysit him for his parents. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him." At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counselors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt!" Now Jesse and Bill and Hilliary had better watch out.for this lady is still on the loose only she probably works for the National Enquirer by now..so see them in the funny papers.

She and Willy went and found a nice little place for 2.5 million dollars. They could not qualify for the loan so the person who is going to head up the DNC guaranteed the loan for them. It has come to my attention lately that the way the Clinton's are paying for this residence is by charging the Secret Service( taxpayers of this country) to house it's personnel while they are guarding the Clintons. The rent being charged is equal to their mortgage payment. They will get this protection for life so that means that you and I are going to pay for their meager little 2.5 million dollar residence. Now comes the real knife to the heart, the same thing is going to happen at the meager little residence in DC that they are buying to live in while Hillary is a Senator. Bottom line: Bill and Hillary will own two multi-million dollar houses at the end of the mortgage terms and we the taxpayer will have paid for them.

[CTRL] The state-established religion of Environmentalism
-Caveat Lector- http://www.thelibertarian.net/2001/vs010114.html January 14, 2001 The state-established religion of Environmentalism Bruce Wilkin is a Pioche native and 1958 Nevada high school graduate who came back to Ely to practice medicine in 1975. Like many long-time Nevadans, Wilkin remembers when the game herds were thick on the land those animals shared with Nevada's cattlemen. He's seen the campaign by government regulators to move the cattle off the land (Clark County retains only two of what were once 50 ranching families -- and the federals have been trying to run Cliven Bundy off his Mesquite allotment for eight years now) ... walling off human access to swatches of real estate the size of New England states under a brand of "environmental protection" that forbids cattle or sheep from grazing back the forage, which subsequently dries out and leads directly to our current wave of cataclysmic wildfires. Furthermore, Bruce Wilkin the country doctor has done the studies and can show the graphs proving it's not cattle that are responsible for these bigger and more destructive wildfires, or for the thinning of game species like the deer and the sage grouse. Dr. Wilkin's graphs (based on the state's own data) show Nevada's deer herd was healthiest precisely when the most cattle were run on the range -- from about 1948 to the early 1970s -- and then dropped precipitously when the poisoning of coyotes was halted during the Nixon and Ford administrations. Further, while government regulators claim ranchers and hunters are to blame for the thinning of the sage grouse, the good doctor hands me a copy of the 1990 study which he says the Nevada Department of Wildlife has "buried" ... precisely because it shows the problem is not the cattle, but the end of programs to control the now exploding populations of coyote, raven, and mountain lion. The official October 1990 report "Sage Grouse Production and Mortality Studies," prepared as the final report of the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Project W-48-R-21, Study XVII, Job 1, edited by San J. Stiver and prepared by Don Klebenow, Gary Zunino and others, demonstrated (by using chicken eggs to set up mock sage grouse nests near typical raven habitat) that the decline in sage grouse populations can be entirely attributed to raven predation of the nests. "At the completion of the 15 day period, all 1,400 eggs were destroyed in both study areas," the report concluded. "On the Grassy Meadows Study Area in Surprise Valley, 84 percent of the nests were destroyed in the first three days. Ravens were believed to be the chief nest predator." The 1990 study only confirmed earlier studies such as that of researcher Warren Allred, who found that in Wyoming in 1942, "Eighty percent of all sage grouse nests were being destroyed by predators -- of which 23 percent were attributed to ravens and 14 percent to coyotes. It was found that even in areas completely protected from hunting, sage grouse were steadily declining." In fact -- here Dr. Wilkin agrees with such long-time Nevada ranchers as Cliven Bundy and Cliff Gardner -- the journals of the first white men to cross Nevada found it so bereft of game the Indians were reduced to eating insects, while the travelers often considered eating their pack animals to make it through. Thick herds of deer and flocks of game birds showed up only after ranchers moved in to improve the water features (clearing springs, building tanks and ponds); set their cattle to improving ground cover by cropping plants which evolved in an ecosystem dependent on large ungulates to clear room for new growth and to help the plants re-seed; and finally completed the equation by severely thinning out such predators as the coyote and the raven -- all now "protected" by muddle-headed "environmentalists." But because information like the Klebenow-Zunino report doesn't mesh with the current drive to force ranchers and hunters from the land in keeping with the new state-established religion of Environmentalism (which designates "untouched wilderness" as its cathedral), the 1990 study was "buried" by Willie Molini's state Department of Wildlife, Wilkin insists. Over dinner at the Prospector restaurant in the Ely Holiday Inn, Wilkin -- glancing occasionally at his pager in case he should be called back to the ER -- hands me an invitation to the "Nevada Land Use Summit 2001," being put on by Assemblywoman Marcia de Braga and Sen. Dean Rhoads in Carson City Feb. 23 and 24 (call 775-883-7863), which intends to focus on the interrelated issues of noxious weeds, wildland fires, and Nevada's sagging sage grouse population. Wilkin points out a section on page 2, underlined by the organizers: "There have been questions about distributing materials other than those provided by the 2001 Summit. We respectfully request (that) NO outside materials be brought in by any individual or group for distribution." This is so the state wildlife bureaucrats can make

[CTRL] The Florida Disaster: Before, During and After
-Caveat Lector- The following flyer was prepared by the pro-Democracy campaign coalition (www.ippn.org) for distribution at inaugural events this weekend. Please forward, with or without the footnotes! === The Florida Disaster: Before, During and After As with other famous US controversies, the Florida election scandal will be debated for years. A promising quality to this scandal is the massive amount of evidence documenting injustice that is now available. Circulating this evidence can help prevent the rewrite of our history. Here is a condensed historical record, as of 1/16/2001. BEFORE THE ELECTION -The Florida Secretary of State, Kathryn Harris, hired the services of Choicepoint Inc. to "clean up" the Florida voter rolls in advance of the election at a taxpayer cost of $4 million. The initial list of voters this firm recommended be "cleansed" from the rolls included 8,000 residents of Florida who had only committed misdemeanors in other states (i.e. drunk driving in Maine). As the Miami Herald reported, most counties did not use the flawed list; a new list without this error was prepared. -However, a team led by London journalist Gregory Palast reviewed records in 10 counties in early December and found a 15% misidentification rate resulting in 7,000 additional legal voters removed from the voting rolls. Palast's team also found 1,700 "cleansed" voters who had regained their right to vote in other states after serving a sentence, and could not be barred from voting by Florida law for offenses they did not commit in Florida. In the largest pro-Bush county, Hillsborough, 54% of the names on the "scrub" list belonged to African-Americans. The company that did the cleansing received an award from a conservative "voting rights" organization based in Virginia, the Voting Integrity Project. Established in 1996, the VIP has been exposed as a conservative front group in exposes by Salon and Slate magazines (12/8/00, 4/4/00). -According to an NAACP lawsuit, thousands of citizens who registered to vote in a new polling place (or for the first time) were not added to rolls by county officials in time to allow them to vote in the election. DURING THE BALLOTING -Problems reported on election day included "spot-checks" of cars driving to vote in African-American areas and requests that Latino voters produce additional IDs beyond the one required. Some precincts reportedly ran out of ballots or closed while legal voters were in line. -By far the largest documented problem was the absence of voters from the voting rolls. For some of these voters, the problem could be addressed by precincts placing a call to the county election office. Due to the large number of problems, these help lines were jammed and many voters had to wait for hours to be approved to mark a ballot. Many gave up. Some precincts had laptop computers to allow precinct workers to directly access voting rolls. However, of 28 precincts in Hillsborough and Miami counties provided with laptops, only one was a "majority-black" precinct (source: NAACP lawsuit filed on 1/10/01). -Confusing ballots resulted in a whopping 41,000 "overvotes" for multiple presidential candidates in Duval and Palm Beach counties alone. Some Florida counties had error-checking voting equipment that made it impossible for a ballot to be submitted with multiple votes. The counties with error-prone equipment were disproportionately in Black and Hispanic areas, a clear violation of US civil rights laws. AFTER ELECTION DAY -All of the counties were immediately asked to conduct ballot recounts due to the closeness of the race. Five smaller counties in mostly white areas of Florida used partial hand counting in order to produce the most accurate count. However in the larger urban counties the ballot recounts were delayed and impeded by court cases, unsubstantiated accusations of fraud, a coordinated national media blitz to discredit hand counts, and by paid demonstrators flown to Miami from DC congressional offices just before Thanksgiving. -Some counties were pressured, again by a national media blitz, into counting overseas ballots for George Bush that were clearly postmarked after election day. -Even Pat Buchanan and his campaign manager Bay Buchanan stated that Gore would have won the election if Palm Beach county votes intended for Gore did not end up going to Buchanan. -The Supreme Court of the United States eventually took up the case of Bush v. Gore. By an incredible stretch of legal doctrine, they applied arguments involving the issue of "equal protection" to the differing standards in hand counting of ballots. However, they failed (along with the Gore legal team) to raise the serious "equal protection" problems associated with differing voting equipment. The differences in equipment-related errors that were SIXTEEN TIMES the errors that the Supreme Court cited, in their 7-2 ruling, in their use of
[CTRL] Fwd: The Protest Bush and the Cops Couldn't Stop
-Caveat Lector- THE PROTEST BUSH AND THE COPS COULDN'T STOP By Gary Wilson Chicago Mayor Richard Daley famously said of the police riot that disrupted the Democratic Convention in 1968 that the police are there "to preserve disorder." Something similar might be said of police in Washington preserving the disorder known as the unelected presidency of George W. Bush. The Washington police have conspired with the incoming Bush administration to use all their powers to try to stop demonstrators from voicing their opposition along the inaugural parade route Jan. 20. There is no doubt that tens of thousands will show up at the inauguration parade to protest the incoming Bush administration. They will come from Washington itself and they will come from around the country on buses, trains, planes and automobiles. Jan. 20 will see the biggest counter-inaugural demonstration since the second criminal administration of Richard Nixon took office in 1973. The overwhelming tide of demonstrators that is heading for Washington forced the police to finally grant permits for the mass protests. For months the police had worked in secret with the Bush inauguration committee to defy the law and not grant permits to the demonstrators. When it became clear that tens of thousands were coming to demonstrate whether or not a permit was issued, the police admitted that the legal permits for several sites claimed by the Bush inauguration committee in fact legally belonged to counter-inauguration protesters. However, police attempts to block the protest did not stop after publicly issuing the permits to protesters. Rather, the tactic changed. Police instead announced that for the first time in over 200 years police checkpoints would be set up to approve people and signs entering the mall area of Washington. Protest organizers are challenging this attempt to set up a mini police state to prevent protesters from being seen and heard along the inaugural parade route. Workers World talked with several top organizers of the counter-inaugural protest at the International Action Center. From these interviews it is possible to get an inside picture of the events that led up to the Jan. 20 protests and the biggest government effort in decades to block political protests in Washington. Those who were interviewed include Teresa Gutierrez, co- director of the IAC and a central figure in the progressive coalition organizing the Jan. 20 demonstrations. Gutierrez heads the U.S. Out of Colombia Committee, a nationwide organization that opposes the U.S. military buildup, begun by the Clinton administration, which threatens to open a new Vietnam-type war in Colombia. One aspect of the protests that Gutierrez has been focusing on is defending the rights of undocumented immigrant workers who are being threatened if they join the protests. "The Bush administration thinks it's okay for undocumented workers to come to Washington to cook their food and tend their gardens, but not to protest," she said. WW also interviewed the two IAC representatives who met with the police on Jan. 9 when the permits were finally issued: Larry Holmes and Brian Becker. Holmes and Becker are also co-directors of the IAC, and both are veterans of past political demonstrations in Washington. Both, like Gutierrez, were arrested last April 15 in Washington, when the police rounded up almost 700 anti-death- penalty protesters the day before planned demonstrations against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. The illegal arrests were an attempt to intimidate and prevent the anti-IMF actions. The picture that emerges from the interviews, reports in the Washington Post and public statements by the police is that something similar is being attempted this time. Some of the protest organizers call this the post-Seattle strategy. That is, ever since the new protest movement against the oppression and destruction wrought by global capitalism emerged in Seattle in December 1999, the police have adopted a strategy toward demonstrations that is on the borderline of constitutionality. This strategy was seen in Washington in April and over the summer at the protests outside the Republican and Democratic conventions. PROTEST PLANNED NO MATTER WHO WON The struggle for the counter-inaugural protest started three months ago, on Oct. 6. That's when the IAC applied for permits for three protest sites at the Jan. 20 inauguration. The focus of the protest was to show opposition to the death penalty and support for a new trial for political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal. Both George W. Bush and Al Gore support the death penalty, so it did not matter which one won. According to the federal law that covers protest permits for the District of Columbia, unless the permit is denied within 24 hours the permit is automatically granted. Apparently the permit was granted at that time, but the police refused to confirm it. In the meantime, a hard-right majority of the U.S. Supreme

[CTRL] The Truth is Rarely Pleasant
-Caveat Lector- The Truth is Rarely Pleasant: Racism, White Denial, and Some Thoughts on Being "Divisive" By Tim Wise (ZNet commentary) Having been a white man for 32 years, I have learned there are some things white folks aren't supposed to say. For example, we aren't supposed to acknowledge that we have received, and continue to receive substantial privileges, simply because of skin color: better job opportunities, greater access to housing, better educational offerings and partial treatment in the justice system. And we aren't supposed to acknowledge the massive prejudice in our communities, which leads at least a third of us to admit--and no doubt many more to feel this way but not confess it--that we believe blacks are less intelligent than we are, less hardworking, and more prone to criminality. And we aren't supposed to challenge other whites about their racism, or the myriad institutional injustices that most of us accept passively, if not actively support. To do this, and to demand that whites deal honestly with the nation's legacy of racial oppression is to invite indignant charges that one is being "divisive." This was made clear to me after my recent keynote address to the St. Louis Mayor's Conference on Racial Justice and Harmony, this past October. Though my speech was generally well received, with a standing ovation from at least 800 of the 1200 persons in the audience, there were apparently some in attendance who were not so pleased. And these few--all of them white--have been complaining loudly about my "divisive" rhetoric, which, according to these folks, makes racial harmony more difficult than ever. What had I said, exactly, to upset these dear souls? Who knows? Bitter memos sent around city hall didn't specify, and the gossip columnist for the city's daily, The Post-Dispatch, who ran a blip on the "controversy" didn't elaborate either. But I would assume they were upset because I said among other things the following, backed up, of course, with statistical support: --It is whites who are in denial about the ongoing problem of racism, and this denial is itself a form of racism: a kind of white supremacy that says, "I know your reality better than you do;" --The biggest barriers to racial harmony and racial justice are institutional racism and the existence of systemic white privilege in all walks of life; --"Diversity" and "tolerance" are not worth fighting for, unless accompanied by equity and justice: the first two are easy and meaningless, the latter two take work; To most people of color these positions are not that radical. But apparently there are still some of my people who get mightily offended by being reminded that we have some work to do--both individually and collectively--and until we do it, there will be no kumbaya chorus. It's interesting to note what upsets white folks, compared to that which doesn't. On the one hand, my words calling for an end to white privilege are seen as divisive, but the privileges themselves are not; demanding an end to racism in education, criminal justice, housing and employment is seen as divisive, but the existence of said racism is not. Frankly, if the good folks in St. Louis, who found my speech so troubling, are upset about "divisiveness," then surely they could manage to focus their attention on the following facts, all of which must be more divisive than anything I said, by a magnitude of thousands: --Housing segregation has been so extreme in St. Louis over the years, that approximately 75% of all blacks in the city live in neighborhoods that are virtually all black, and disproportionately low income. The same is true, of course, in many urban areas of the United States; --This hypersegregation has been no accident, but the result of deliberate discrimination by real estate appraisers, landlords, and mortgage lenders. As far back as 1941, underwriters in St. Louis were complaining about the "rapidly increasing Negro population," leading to massive discrimination that was essentially legal for the next 27 years, and even since, has persisted in more subtle forms. All across America this was the case: blockbusting, redlining, steering, and outright intimidation intended to prevent people of color from obtaining homes in more prosperous neighborhoods; --From 1934-1960, whites moving to St. Louis area suburbs received five times more government-underwritten FHA home loans than folks in the city, who were increasingly people of color. This preferential treatment for whites continues to have an effect today, as those homes pass to the descendants of the original owners, and become accumulated wealth. Nationally, over $120 billion in housing equity was underwritten by the FHA during this time, and only 2% went to African Americans; --Throughout the metropolitan area, children of color are roughly three times more likely to live in poverty than their white counterparts, and have infant mortality rates that are two-and-a-half
[CTRL] GREEK TROOPS WANT OUT OF KOSOVO
The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, Belgrade, YU Comrades, friends--I send this to you mainly because itreports on how organizations in different European countriesare reacting to the DU crisis and what the IAC is doing. GREEK TROOPS WANT OUT OF KOSOVOProtests against DU grow in EuropeRamsey Clark visits radioactive sites in southern IraqBy John CatalinottoDespite denials by NATO and their governments that depleteduranium is a danger, people in Europe have reacted withgrowing anger and disquiet about this threat to soldiers andcivilians in occupied Kosovo.In some European countries-Greece, Portugal and Italyespecially-parties and other groups have already begun toorganize strong protest movements against DU weapons. Anger and confusion has grown as NATO and governmentspokespeople contradict earlier statements about the dangersof DU. For example, NATO now admits U.S. planes fired 10,800DU shells into Bosnia in 1995-1996. But in 1997 Lt. Cmdr.Garneau, a spokesperson for the SFOR occupation forces, said"at no time did NATO use depleted uranium munitions duringair strikes in Bosnia." This was one of many lies that has destroyed NATO'scredibility, and for good reason.In addition, the European mainstream media is reflectingdifferences among the NATO powers that include DU use but gobeyond this to other areas of contention within theimperialist alliance. For example, in the single Jan. 12issue of Le Monde, there was more than a page of the dangersof DU. But there were also two pages of the debate withinNATO over the presence of U.S. troops and other strategicgoals.Seven Italian troops, five Belgians, two Dutch nationals,two Spaniards, a Portuguese and a Czech national have diedafter taking part in the occupation of Balkan countries.Four French soldiers also have contracted leukemia. TheYugoslav news agency Tanjug reports that a Hungarian soldierhas also died of leukemia and that his wife is demandingfinancial compensation from the Hungarian Ministry ofDefense.Subhead: Greek troops want outThe Daily Telegraph in England reported Jan. 15 that over aquarter of the 1400-plus Greek troops stationed in Kosovohave asked to leave because of the increased risk of cancer.The Greek defense minister had to say that the governmentwould consider the requests, but "we must first wait for theofficial results of the radiation tests. If there is ageneral problem then NATO forces will take a joint decisionand leave together."Half of the 400 volunteers set to join the Greek contingenthave now withdrawn their requests to take part in theoccupation of Kosovo. On Jan. 11, the Greek Communist Partycalled out thousands of protesters in Athens, Thessalonika,Patra, Serres, Chio and Verioia to protest NATO's aggressionagainst Yugoslavia and to demand that Greek soldiers bepulled out of Kosovo.The Portuguese Communist Party called for a national day ofprotest for Jan. 25 with a meeting in front of the primeminister's residence to demand an end to the Portuguesemilitary presence in the Balkans. The PCP also is "againstthe dispatch of any more troops to Kosovo; for solidaritywith the populations affected by NATO bombings; and for NATObeing abolished.The PCP is a mass party with 130,000 members that took astrong stand against NATO aggression against Yugoslaviaduring the 1999 war.In Rome on Jan. 13 the Italian section of the Ramsey ClarkTribunal, which includes supporters from the PastiFoundation and the Communist Rifundazione Party, held aprotest meeting over the use of DU. This group is protestingthe dangers to Italian soldiers but also to the civilianpopulation of Yugoslavia. It organized hearings of popularwar crimes tribunals against NATO following the aggressionagainst Yugoslavia.Stories about DU are now daily items in the Italian pressand electronic media. This coverage has also come-perhaps toa lesser degree-throughout all of Western Europe. In France, the veterans group Avigolfe has forced theDefense Minister Alain Richard to reverse some of hisstatements about DU. In effect he had to admit he had beenlying.In Spain, the Committee in Solidarity with the Arab Causehas held a conference in November and more recent meetingsexposing the dangers of DU.Subhead: How Yugoslavs, Iraqis see DUWhile the deaths of NATO soldiers have attracted mediaattention, the greater number of DU victims come from thelocal civilian population of Bosnia and Kosovo.In a Jan. 13 article in the British daily The Independent,Robert Fisk wrote of the town Hadjici, where he asserts that"up to 300 out of 5,000 Serb refugees whose suburb ofSarajevo was heavily bombed by NATO jets in the late summerof 1995 have died of cancer. ...""All the surviving refugees of

She's already had Jamie Shea, (in alinen cupboard @ The Hague), Cook, or Cook's had her, (ugh!),she's even had the irresistible Albright.Who else can she impress with her forensic charms?Why does she so desperately want to be introduced to Vojislav Kostunica?What exactly is she offering the Serbian people? A fair trial for Milosevic?Evidently not. No trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for TheFormer Yugoslavia (ICTFY) can be fair: such a concept is alien to a Courtfunded by Soros the CIA, offering the very best in kinky so calledjustice,(secret indictments/masked witnesses / headless judges ku klux klan style institutionally racist inquisitorial prosecutors).Could Carla del Ponte ever offer to hand over for trial before the YugoslavCourts, the NATO leaders?Obviously not. And the point is there are indictments in Serbia against allthe NATO leaders.No discussion therefore should be held with Ponte about anything until firstall the NATO leaders surrender for trial in Belgrade.CANA requested that she commence proceedings against the western leadersresponsiblefor the March 99 NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.She refused, as she, her predecessor Ms Arbour, refused many otherrequests of a similar character from human rightsgroups jurists world-wide.Her sudden discovery now that we might have a case after all; when so manypeople are dying of leukemia, the DU scandal cannot be hidden any longer,tells us volumes abouther cynical approach to her supposed duties.The ICTFY was never set up to try War Crimes, but to persecute the Serbs.They are have become sacrificial victims to expiate the failure ofUS/British French policywhich has handed hegemony of the Balkans to the new German Reich.CANA welcomes the decision of Mr Kostunica not to meet Carla del Ponte inBelgrade; we trust that in difficult conditions he finds a way to maintainthe integrity of the Yugoslav constitutional process, to remind the world,when he has theopportunity, (perhaps with Tim Sebastian on Hard Talk due to be screened onBBC 24 Hours 18th January) who the real aggressors are were.'Yugoslavia's crime in the eyes of the West was one only one: it did nothave anuclear weapon. Only for that reason was it an appropriate target for ahumanitarian war.'WILLIAM SPRING ADDS THIS FURTHER COMMENT REGARDING THEDEATH OF AUBERON WAUGH:Today a great sadness has afflicted us, a sense of loss for someone I can'tsay I ever really knew, except very indirectly, having come intocontact with Auberon Waugh through the ICBH, (Institute of ContemporaryBritishHistory) which sponsors lectures seminars etc at the University of LondonSenate House(Local History Room) I had corresponded with him about CANA otherissues.He knew about CANA CJPY was very sympathetic to us, our aims.Every fortnight or so since Blair's War he'd used his column in The DailyTelegraph to tell Blair what a dishonest beastly idiot he is.His father Evelyn Waugh, apart from being, (with George Orwell), themost distinguished English novelist of the twentieth century, during thesecond world war was parachuted into Yugoslavia, together with RandolphChurchill, son of the British Prime Minister.Evelyn Waugh's gift was bequeathed to his son, his political opinions (atleast in terms of supportfor the Yugoslav state, our former allies, who made common cause with usagainst Hitler,before America even entered the war.)Auberon Waugh's death at 61 is a profound loss: but the mantle of Elijahhas already fallen upon Elisha; his friend columnist A N Wilson will continue to defend
[CTRL] ASSASSINATION POLITICS
-Caveat Lector- SECRECY NEWS from the FAS Project on Government Secrecy January 18, 2001 ASSASSINATION POLITICS In a new bill introduced in the House of Representatives on January 3, Rep. Bob Barr proposed to eliminate the longstanding official prohibition against assassination. Executive Order 12333, issued by President Reagan and currently in effect, dictates that "No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination." This restates similar prohibitions issued by the Ford and Carter Administrations. According to Rep. Barr, however, "These Executive orders limit the swift, sure, and precise action needed by the United States to protect our national security." Rep. Barr did not indicate exactly who he wants the Government to assassinate. His bill does say, encouragingly, that assassination "is a remedy which should be used sparingly." Moral considerations aside, the consensus of opinion among mainstream politicians of both parties has always been that the United States has more to lose than to gain by legitimizing assassination. The text of the new bill, dubbed "The Terrorist Elimination Act of 2001," was posted by John Young on his outstanding site cryptome.org here: http://cryptome.org/hr19.txt Steven Aftergood Project on Government Secrecy Federation of American Scientists http://www.fas.org/sgp/index.html Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] AMERICAN MANTRA: Free Market Capitalism
-Caveat Lector- AMERICAN MANTRA: Free Market Capitalism http://www.e-venthorizon.net/ggr/macroeconomics/american_mantra.html by Peter Phillips, contributing writer January 17, 2001 Free Market Capitalism has become the dominant American ideological truth. The decline of communism opened the door for unrepentant free marketers to boldly espouse market competition as the final solution for global harmony. According to the American mantra, if given the opportunity to freely develop the marketplace will solve all evils. We will enjoy economic expansion, individual freedom, and unlimited bliss by fully deregulating and privatizing society's socio-economic institutions. The recent selection of G.W. Bush as the U.S. President has placed into power the party that is the strongest supporter of this American mantra. The business/government revolving-door cabinet will be comprised of more corporate CEO's than any presidency in recent history. The new government elite will work to see that the American mantra remains safe, globalized, and unchallenged. Pesky socialist or nationalist leaning governments will be undermined, pressured into compliance or even invaded if they dare to resist the American mantra. The full force of U.S. dominated global institutions WTO, World Bank, IMF, NAFTA will focus on maximizing free market circumstances and corporate access to every region of the world. Economic safety nets, environmental regulations, labor unions, human rights, become second place to the free flow of capital and investments. Indigenous resisters face overt repression, disappearance, or imprisonment by governments fully armed and supported by the American dominated New World Order. So what is the underlying rationale for this American mantra? Are its dogmatic beliefs based on specific socio-economic facts? Are free market forces clearly the best mechanism for human betterment? Do these mechanisms work cross-culturally and are they efficient under all circumstances? A closer examination of the American mantra reveals that "free market" essentially means constant international U.S. government intervention on behalf of American corporations. A public-private partnership that utilizes U.S. embassies, the CIA, FBI, NSA, U.S. Military, Department of Commerce, USAID, and every other U.S government institution to protect, sustain, and directly support our vital interest-U.S. business. This public-private partnership means that the government of Guatemala is pressured to withdraw laws that forbid Gerber foods from marketing their chubby baby image on infant formula. Peasants see the baby and believe that formula will make their infants healthy and chubby as well. Yet breast feeding is considerable healthier in a country where unsafe water mixed with formula results in high infant mortality. The American mantra claims that prices will reach their lowest levels and consumers will benefit from free market competition. Yet living essentials, food, water, housing, health care, all have the international tendency to increase more rapidly than products that are non-essential. Even in the U.S we can get a great deal on a computer, but try buying emergency health care on a middle income paycheck. Americans are often amazed to find out that prescription drugs are significantly cheaper in other countries, a fact that discredits the benefits of an unregulated market. American mantra institutions push market deregulation that transforms foreign economies for the benefit of U.S. businesses. Post-NAFTA Mexicans are now importing U.S. grown corn for their tortillas, as millions of formally subsidized peasant farmers leave the land to seek minimum wage work in the cities of United States. Los Angeles has become the center for new American sweatshops, as "illegals" compete for poverty jobs, citizens cannot afford to accept. Government-assisted foreign market penetration by U.S firms often results in the buying out of successful indigenous companies and the competitive overwhelm of others. This situation leaves U.S. multinationals in superior positions in foreign domestic markets and creates windfall profit taking opportunities. The free market mantra carries with it shock treatment policies of lowering public expectations, forced austerity measures, and dismantled human services. A privately run water system is deemed superior to a public system because the profit motive will create maximum efficiency. Yet there is absolutely no research that systematically compares public versus private efficiency levels, only the dogmatic assertion that this is so. The American mantra affects the U.S. population as well. We are still riding on the betterments from the first three/quarters of the 20th century, and have not faced the full impacts of the economic bifurcation that has occurred the past 25 years. Poverty levels are rising, the working poor expanding and homelessness one pay check away for many. In the last quarter century the bottom

[CTRL] Living under the hole in the sky
-Caveat Lector- Living under the hole in the sky http://www.salon.com/health/feature/2000/11/03/ozone/index.html The citizens of Punta Arenas, Chile, are the subjects of a potentially deadly experiment: What happens to people who live under the widening ozone hole? By Dawn MacKeen PUNTA ARENAS, Chile -- Below an expansive sky that stretches on forever, hundreds of 4-year-olds tucked into puffy winter coats hold hands and file eagerly into an elementary school auditorium. Though it is barely 45 degrees outside, the preschoolers are here to learn about the dangers of the sun. Paul the Penguin, a 7-foot-tall mascot, appears onstage accompanied by two friends in beach clothes. They warn him that the sun will turn his skin red but that if he douses himself in Eucerin sunblock, he can play outdoors as long as he likes. After the show, the preschoolers line up once again, giggling and squealing, to receive free trial-sized bottles of Eucerin, courtesy of the cosmetic company that makes it. As they grab their gifts and file out, they look like giggling children anywhere -- even though they're not. The festive setting, complete with beach balls sporting Eucerin's name in big black letters, belies the grim reason they have all gathered. Like the "duck-and-cover" classroom exercises during the Cuban missile crisis, and Los Angeles' smog alerts in the 1980s, which cautioned students not to go outside when pollution levels were high, today's presentation is teaching a generation of kids in the southern tip of Chile how to accept the unacceptable, how to survive under the expanding ozone hole the rest of the world has created. "It's very sad," says Eduardo Mortiric, a 15-year-old with pale skin and cheeks so sun-kissed it looks like he has rouge on. "I can't go outside and ride my bike, play soccer anymore or go walking. I burn easily." Welcome to life in Punta Arenas in the ozone depletion age. This port city of 120,000 people, at 53 degrees south latitude, has always been known more for its proximity to other places -- five hours from Patagonia's Torres del Paine, an hour from a penguin colony, a boat ride to Antarctica, than as a destination in its own right. But as ground zero of a global ecological catastrophe, Punta Arenas is becoming famous, or infamous, as the city that has squatted directly under the gaping hole in the earth's ozone layer. What's happening down here on the edge of nowhere is an uncontrolled science experiment: exposing human beings in their natural habitat to long-term doses of potentially deadly ultraviolet radiation. It may take years before the results are in, before we know the full toll in vision problems and skin cancers, illness and death. Until now the rest of the world has watched from afar, complacent in the conviction that it has largely addressed the problem. But it might be a good idea to pay closer attention to what happens down here, because scientists fear that, in the future, regions farther from the poles could be hit by a thinning of the ozone layer. Contradictions abound in this small city. On many days in September and October, the spring months when the ozone layer is at its thinnest, Punta Arenas officials warn residents to stay inside between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. or risk a severe sunburn. Yet most don't listen. The regional health minister in charge of disseminating this advice to the public appears at official events with a deep tan from a recent skiing trip. People here complain about the ecological disaster the rest of the world has inflicted on them, then they complain that foreign visitors draw too much attention to the problem. Doctors warn patients of the need to wear protective hats sturdy enough to withstand the powerful wind down here but know that the gear must be attractive enough so fashion-minded Chileans will actually wear them. Officials acknowledge the critical need to address the problem, but claim they won't be able to afford $180,000 for an ozone- and radiation-measuring instrument after Punta Arenas scientists return the only one they have later this month to the institute in Brazil from which they borrowed it. And Punta Arenas is where Beiersdorf, a German cosmetics company, markets itself by sponsoring a play for preschoolers featuring an adorable penguin who slathers the firm's sunblock over himself from head to web. Though scientists once thought they had a handle on the problem, the ozone hole reached its largest dimensions yet in September, stretching across an area of 11 million square miles -- a distance three times the size of the United States. And it has subsequently wandered all the way from its icy seasonal home of Antarctica to this port city. In Punta Arenas, according to local measurements, the residents are exposed to levels of UVB radiation 40 percent greater than normal when the ozone hole is above. The worsening situation has so alarmed Chilean officials that, for the first time ever, they are
[CTRL] Janus-Faced Universalism and Rosy-Fingered Dawn
-Caveat Lector- http://www.antiwar.com/stromberg/s011601.html The Old Cause by Joseph R. Stromberg January 16, 2001 Janus-Faced Universalism and Rosy-Fingered Dawn THE JOYS OF UNIVERSALISM Universalism is said to be a wonderful thing. It brings to mind Alexander the Great, widely praised by historians earlier in this I mean the late century, as a heroic founder of 'universalism.' The praise came because he made his officers take Persian brides, as did he, to cement the ties between conquerors and conquered, etc., etc. He also knocked over the Achaemenid treasury. Naturally, the victors began spending the Persian king's money, setting off one of the few inflationary cycles in history involving a metal-based money supply. The only other one, ever, of which I can think offhand, arose from Spanish conquests in Mexico and Peru. I should think these are clear-cut cases of state intervention in the economy. In Keynesian terms, the Persian, Aztecan, and Incan treasurers were 'hoarders' and needed to learn the wisdom of the serpent, or at the very least, the wisdom of Alan Greenspan. Alexander, Cortez and Pizzaro were public spirited fellows whose activities created effective demand and made the economy boom. But there is more. Alexander's conquests, while they did not create a lasting and unified Greek empire stretching from Macedonia in the west, Bactria in the east, and Egypt in the south, did leave behind a set of clunky successor states. These included the Seleucid and Macedonian states, as well as the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt. The latter, of course, is justly famous for Cleopatra. In reaction to Greek intrusion, Chandragupta Maurya went on a binge of state-formation in northern India, which I'm sure made everyone much happier. I should add that Bactria, as such, has little to with bacteria. UNIVERSALISM SLIGHTLY DIVIDED The exploits of Aristotle's most famous pupil made for far too many cities called Alexandria. The Hellenic successor states, hereinafter called 'Hellenistic,' had Greek-speaking ruling classes (bureaucrats and soldiers) and attracted Greek merchants, professionals, and hangers-on to the new states. This was a massive frontier movement of Greeks seeking new opportunities. The Greek Horace Greeley, if there was one, was crying 'Go east, young man' at the top of his lungs. Politically, the new states were a departure from Hellenism proper, which had rested on the small-scale city-state or republic. The Hellenistic states were large, territorial operations, and oppressive ones. The Loeb Classical Series volume of documents from Hellenistic Egypt underlines the Ptolemaic bureaucracy's program of state-mercantilism, undertaken for revenue and control.1 This included a very early oil monopoly PTOLEO which, I admit, only involved olive oil. I mention in passing that the famous Rosetta Stone key to the early 19th decipherment of hieroglyphic Egyptian was actually the text of a decree granting tax relief. (And you thought Rosetta Stone was an English rock singer.) So where's the universalism? you might well ask. (John Lennon would have.) Well, each conquered region got a Greek-speaking ruling class, Greek-speaking professionals and merchants, Greek- speaking teachers and intellectuals . You get the idea. Everyone was united on Greek terms. A real case of sharing, even if was a bit one-sided. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against the spread of Hellenism as such. At this late date it's a bit hard to sort out the right and wrong of it. I sentimentally prefer that cultures be spread by peaceful means such as trade and the like. But what's done is done, and even the current Left can't realistically demand that we tear down the Hellenistic statues and rename all the Hellenistic schools, highways, and cities. Or can they? Probably not. Time itself has torn down most of those oppressive objects and deconstructed their texts; the remains are now the province of the archaeologists. Besides, who now knows what the oppressed natives' name for Alexandria was? Very likely it was 'potentially lucrative seashore location with no city on it yet,' whatever that might be in ancient Coptic (Egyptian). So while I'm quite certain it's no big job to right all the wrongs and reverse all the oppressions dating from 1492 through verbal legerdemain, it is doubtless technically unfeasible to do so for the third century B.C. Too bad, really. If we had the world-improvers working on that, they might overlook a monument or two at home. And flags. THE PITFALLS OF HISTORY At the height of British power that is, right around the second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1903) a number of well-placed British scholars ransacked Greek history for useful lessons. Equating democratic, commercial Athens with Britain, they saw a warning in the short-lived Athenian Empire, which preceded our pal, Alexander, in time. Its heavy-handed methods led to unnecessary wars, the collapse of Athenian power, and the rise
[CTRL] REV. IS IN A SORRY' STATE
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! REV. IS IN A âSORRY' STATE Thursday,January 18,2001 By TRACY CONNOR JESSE JACKSON N.Y. Post: Mary McLauglin A "truly sorry" Rev. Jesse Jackson revealed last night that he fathered a love child two years ago - and said he's dropping out of public life to reconcile with his devastated family. The extraordinary admission came as the National Enquirer published a story about Jackson's secret affair with Rainbow Coalition activist Karin Stanford. The bombshell report details how the married civil-rights leader romanced the ex-professor while serving as spiritual adviser to President Clinton during Sexgate and even took his pregnant mistress to the White House. "I am father to a daughter who was born outside of my marriage," Jackson said in a statement to The Post. "As her mother does, I love this child very much and have assumed responsibility for her emotional and financial support since she was born," he continued. "This is no time for evasions, denials or alibis. I fully accept responsibility and I am truly sorry for my actions." The fiery preacher - who has been hammering away at some of George W. Bush's Cabinet appointments in recent days - said he was taking time off from his "public ministry" because of the scandal. It was unclear if he was canceling plans to lead a massive march on the Florida state capitol on Inauguration Day to protest the presidential election mess. The Post contacted Stanford, 39, at her home in south Los Angeles several times this week. She and family members politely declined to comment on her affair with Jackson, 59. But she told the Enquirer: "Jesse and I still have a very warm and close relationship." Since DNA tests determined he was the father of the 20-month-old girl - Stanford was seeing another man when she got pregnant - Jackson has been paying $10,000 a month in support. He also gave the single mom $40,000 for "moving expenses" when she took maternity leave and left Washington, D.C., for her native California. Their fateful liaison began after Jackson, impressed by a book Stanford had written about his impact on foreign policy, hired her to run the Rainbow Coalition's Washington office. The affair coincided with the explosion of the Sexgate scandal and Jackson's unofficial position as adviser to Clinton on his adulterous fling with intern Monica Lewinsky. In August 1998, around the time his out-of-wedlock child was conceived, Jackson urged the public to forgive the president for cheating on his wife. "The nation must take the test: If there are any among us who have not known the trials and tribulations and temptations, then throw a rock," he said. "At some point, we have to forgive, redeem and move on." That December, he escorted a four-months-pregnant Stanford and other Rainbow Coalition staffers to meet President Clinton and stood next to her during a photo opportunity. It wasn't long before word of the escapades reached the homefront - and Jackson's enraged wife of 38 years, Jackie, confronted Stanford at the Rainbow Coalition offices, the Enquirer said. "Jackie screamed at Karin that she'd raised Jesse's children and had been at his side through really tough times," a source told the weekly. "She accused Karin of getting pregnant on purpose." And Stanford admitted: "I would not be surprised if his family hated me." Even after the blowup, Jackson - who was born out of wedlock himself - was clearly not ready to acknowledge the child was his. In a March 1999 newsletter, he announced Stanford would soon be taking maternity leave for "the birth of her first child" with her attorney boyfriend. A week later, he announced he had decided not to seek the Democratic nomination for president, reprising his 1984 and 1988 campaigns. Stanford was involved with another man when she found out she was pregnant and left blank the space for the father's name on the birth certificate when her daughter was born in May. But a DNA test confirmed Jackson was the father of the baby, who reportedly shares with him a genetic trait for sickle-cell anemia. He quickly had a financial agreement for support drawn up - a pact that included an agreement by Stanford not to publicly acknowledge her baby's parentage, the tab reported. In Los Angeles, Stanford continues to work for the Rainbow Coalition as a consultant, and Jackson visits her and his daughter when he's in California. The scandal has left Jackson estranged from Jackie and on shaky ground with his five kids, including his congressman son, Jesse Jr. "It has been an extremely painful, trying, difficult time for them," Jackson said. "I have asked God and each one of them to forgive me and I thank each of them for their grace and understanding throughout this period of tribulation. "We have prayed together and through God's grace we have been reconciling." Jackson said he hoped to "revive my spirit and

[CTRL] THE AGENDA BEHIND STAR WARS IS THE COLONIZATION OF SPACE.
THE AGENDA BEHIND STAR WARS IS THE COLONIZATION OF SPACE. The Final Frontier There's More than Meets the Eye to the Controversial US Star Wars Scheme by John Valleau © January 15, 2001 in the Toronto Globe Mail Incoming U.S. president George W. Bush and his nominee as secretary of state, Colin Powell, are strong supporters of the National Missile Defense project -- basically a scaled-down version of the "Star Wars" scheme that was proposed, and discredited, in the Reagan years. The purpose of the project is claimed to be the ability to intercept, in space, a small number of missiles launched against the United States. But the controversial plan may be more sinister than we could imagine, and Canada must make every effort to stop it. The missile defense proposal poses a giant conundrum, because the costs, financial and strategic, appear much greater than any benefits to the United States. If, as its proponents say, the system would be capable only of intercepting a few attacking missiles, the scheme offers no defense from an assault by any serious antagonist. The costs, on the other hand, are massive, not only in consuming billions of dollars by itself, but in fuelling a new arms race. Russia and China both interpret the U.S. plan as part of the development of a nuclear "first-strike" capability. They, therefore, make it clear that, if it goes ahead, they will feel obliged to modernize their arsenals. This would mean an end to nuclear disarmament. So why would the United States contemplate accepting these risks for such meager and dubious benefits? What can be driving the the missile defense project? The answer may lie in a little-known plan for the United State to dominate and colonize outer space. This sounds absurd and paranoid, but it is all laid out in the mission statements of the United States Space Command. The basic document, Vision for 2020, is already five years old. (This, and the later Long Range Plan fleshing out the "vision," are publicly available on the Web, at http://www.spacecom.af.mil/usspace. Copies can be found also on the Project Ploughshares Web site, http://www.ploughshares.ca. The Space Command describes its role as "dominating the space dimension of military operations to protect U.S. interests and investment [and] integrating Space Forces into war-fighting capabilities across the full spectrum of conflict." This is a clear plan to militarize space with U.S. weapons, and to seek the ability to "deny others the use of space." The report is adorned with pictures of targets on Earth being zapped by such weapons. All this, while the United States is a signatory of the Outer Space Treaty, which aims at preventing the weaponization of outer space. The connection to colonialism is also pretty explicit: "As sea commerce advanced in the 18th and 19th centuries, nations built navies to project power and protect and enhance their commercial interests. Similarly, during the westward expansion of the continental United States, military outposts and the cavalry emerged to protect our wagon trains, settlements and railroads. . . . The emergence of space power follows . . . these models." It is, at first, hard to believe that this horrifying plan is really U.S. policy, but there has been no repudiation of the published intentions by the U.S. administration, and the Space Command continues to be handsomely financed. How does this explain the missile defense proposal? First of all, the Space Command is the responsible agency directing the defense project, and the "vision" makes it clear that it foresees that "NMD will evolve into a mix of ground and space sensors and weapons." So the limited missile defense that has been discussed publicly is not at all what is actually in mind. Then, to put the Space Command plans in place, the United States will have to abrogate, or ignore, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and probably the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as well, while violating at least the spirit of the Outer Space Treaty and the Environmental Modification Techniques protocol. The nations of the world would never accept the colonial status implied by this U.S. plan, but -- and this is where the missile defense scheme comes in -- they might be persuaded to accept the dismemberment of these treaties, if they only see the missile defences as a relatively benign, small-scale defense system, as it is portrayed. What is Canada's responsibility in the face of this? The United States has not yet made a firm decision to proceed with deployment of its missile defenses. Statements by Mr. Bush imply his approval, but there remains some considerable internal resistance, and the United States remains somewhat sensitive to the international reactions. Russia and China have given sharp warning of their response to any deployed missile defenses -- rearmament. The nations of Europe have also expressed their opposition in forthright terms. But Canada

US state department militarized: paper
By Masood Haider
NEW YORK, Jan 15: The appointment and the confirmation of retired Gen Colin
Powell as the next US secretary of state is tantamount to "the militarization
of the State Department and the triumph of military over civilian control",
says writer Christopher Hitchens in an article published in the magazine,
"The Nation".
In a most revealing and candid piece on the power of the US armed forces,
Hitchens says that "the most important moment in Powell's career as a
Republican came in the first months of the first Clinton Administration, when
he organized and led a political mutiny against the Commander in Chief,"{
President Bill Clinton in 1992) and saw the mutiny succeed.
Immediately after Mr. Clinton announced his policy on the induction of
homosexuals in the army with discrimination, Gen. Powell led the Army Chief
of Staffs to a meeting in the White House, forcing Mr. Clinton to backdown on
his open gay policy hence the "Don't Ask Don't Tell " doctrine was
established. The Nation's writer contends that Mr. Clinton surrendered to the
powers of the generals at a critical point at the start of his presidency.
"The coronation of Colin Powell will probably not be interrupted by any of
the specific questions about his mediocre and sometimes sinister past," says
Hitchens. "The political correctness of the nomination, in both its 'rainbow"
and "bipartisan" aspects, will see to that. Powell has often defined himself
as "a fiscal conservative and a social liberal," which also happens to be the
core identity of the Washington press corps. Set against this, what is the
odd war crime, or cover-up of same, or deception of a gullible Congress? Time
to move on. "
Writing about various controversial positions taken by Gen. Colin Powell as
he served as the Joint Chief of Staff appointed by former President George
Bush before leaving office, Hitchens says President Clinton was "elected, you
may remember, having promised to lift the ban on homosexuals serving in the
military and having promised to lift the embargo on the supply of arms to
Bosnia.
"Nor were these mere 'fine print' promises: The first had been front and
centre in his campaigning, and the second had involved comparisons with the
Final Solution, of the sort that can't easily be taken back. Within a few
months of his swearing the oath that he was to break in so many ways, Clinton
receded from both these pledges. In both instances, he caved in to a
political revolt orchestrated by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."
[CTRL] China Beefing Up Air Defenses Opposite Taiwan
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! China Beefing Up Air Defenses Opposite Taiwan 16 January 2001 Summary China is beefing up its coastal air defenses opposite Taiwan to help tip the military balance in the Taiwan Straits in Beijingâs favor. If a permanent air defense missile base materializes, Taipei and Washington are likely to consider it an escalation, sparking a new round of confrontation. Analysis The United Daily News, a Taiwanese publication, reported Jan. 15 that China is building a new missile base in the southeastern city of Zhangzhou. Beijing plans to deploy Russian-made S-300 surface-to-air missile systems on the base and in the future could introduce more advanced air defense missiles. By enhancing its ability to defend its coastal military installations from Taiwanâs superior air force, China would improve its chances of prevailing in a military conflict over control of the former Chinese territory. Such a plan by Beijing is likely to backfire, however, by prompting Taipei and its sponsors in Washington to take a harder line in the Taiwan Straits. China has deployed the transportable S-300 air defense system across from Taiwan in the past, provoking tensions. China moved several batteries from Beijing to both Zhangzhou and the city of Fuzhou further to the north during 1996 military maneuvers. Placed at Zhangzhou, the S-300, with a range of up to 200 kilometers, would provide China with a defensive barrier along its coast extending out to Taiwanâs Penghu island group. Deployed in Fuzhou, the S-300 could defeat aircraft as far out as Hsinchu on Taiwanâs western coast. Left image shows an SA-10B TEL in the vertical position and right depicts a missile being fired. In addition to Chinaâs inventory of an estimated 120 S-300 missiles, the new base under construction at Zhangzhou could also be used in the future for the deployment of the FT-2000 surface-to-air missile system. The FT-2000 is an enhanced version of the Russian-made S-300 developed in China with greater targeting capabilities, longer range and capable of defeating not only Taiwanâs U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets but its airborne early warning and control (AWACs) aircraft as well. A permanent missile base and the regular deployment of S-300s across from Taiwan would be another in a series of recent attempts by Beijing to improve its military capabilities vis-Ã -vis Taipei. Beijing has already deployed hundreds of surface-to-surface missiles along the coast, and the U.S. Department of Defense estimates China is adding 50 missiles each year. However, the air defense base is especially significant because it threatens Taiwanâs primary advantage over China â air superiority. Most military experts agree that the current Chinese armed forces could not successfully invade Taiwan. Though it might be able to blockade the island, Taiwanâs air force is Taipeiâs best weapon â aside from the United States â in fending off a Chinese invasion. A move by Beijing that threatens Taiwanâs advantage in the sky is sure to get immediate attention in Washington, which dispatched two aircraft carriers into the Taiwan Straits in 1996 when China launched major military maneuvers during Taiwanâs elections, including live missile tests. U.S. President-elect George W. Bush is already expected to take a tougher security stance on Beijing, pledging during the campaign to improve Taiwanâs military preparedness. Bush is also more disposed than his soon-to-be predecessor, Bill Clinton, to transferring advanced weaponry to Taipei over Chinese objections. In considering an extensive arms request from Taiwan last year, Washington cautiously deflected the issue for fear of antagonizing Beijing, a vocal opponent of arms sales and independence for Taiwan, which Beijing considers a breakaway province However, a Bush Administration, induced by what it views as a Chinese escalation in the Taiwan Straits and supported by the influential Taiwan lobby in the U.S. Congress, could move swiftly to approve the arms transfer, including top-of-the-line Aegis class destroyers. Taiwan plans to bring up the issue of arms sales early in the Bush Administration, seizing on what it sees as a more responsive political environment. But continued Chinese attempts to improve its odds in an invasion of Taiwan may make Bushâs decision for him. If Beijing alters the military balance in the Taiwan Straits it will get a swift response from an increasingly hard-line government in Washington, including the transfer of high-tech arms to Taiwan to keep Chinese military advancements in check. As China seeks to solidify its military position in the Taiwan Straits, it risks picking a fight with Washington that could ignite another crisis in the Taiwan Straits and push Taiwan further from Beijingâs grasp. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

from among the dozens carrying this latest scandal involving
the Reverend, as he calls himself. But just as Dr. MLK was

reminds us of a prior scandal involving Jesse and why he to
this day lacks credibility among the original and real civil

allowed this scandal to lie dormant, unlike the hate-mongers
and race-baiters of today who trot out the same stuff
repeatedly. Today's young hate-mongers like to take
everything out of historical context and forget the
past--wake up like chickens in a new world every day. It
saves effort and real studying of history, etc.
So how many remember a young, skinny Jesse with that huge
Afro hair mugging for the cameras with blood smeared on his
shirt, telling that outrageous lie about MLK dying in his
arms? It never happened and much to Jesse's chagrin, the
others present told him and the world that it did not
happen. The "blood" if that is what it was smeared on his
shirt was NOT from MLK and it was just a publicity stunt on
the part of Jesse, who would always do anything to be on
camera. There are those who still believe Jesse's version
and while it does make a wonderful, rear-jerking story, it
is as phony as his claims to moral superiority. AKE}}
"Stay Out Da Bushes' Yourself, Jesse!
Dan Frisa
Thursday, Jan. 18, 2001
The Reverend Jesse Jackson, it is now revealed today in the
New York Post, fathered a child out of wedlock at the same
time he was "counseling" Bill Clinton following his own
extramarital affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
This hypocritical racist and all-around media hound has now
clearly demonstrated what many thought was his real worth to
the debate on issues of public import: absolutely nothing.
As a major leader of the effort to impugn the integrity and
record of President-elect Bush during the campaign,
Jackson - in his best Ebonics dialect - cautioned America to
"Stay out da Bushes!" during his diatribe at the Democratic
National Convention last summer in Los Angeles.
It seems as if Jackson should have taken his own advice.
Instead, he has been paying the unbelievable sum of $10,000
per month to the child's mother, a former staffer at the
Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, ostensibly as "child support".
Certainly sounds a lot more like hush money, another
favorite tactic of the Clinton crowd. The woman was also
reportedly paid $40,000 to move to California and is
supposedly living in a $365,000 condo!
(Recall the million dollars' worth of no-show jobs provided
to Clinton crony Webb Hubbell - who, as deputy U.S. attorney
general not only didn't uphold the law, he broke it at
will - at the precise time he was supposed to be cooperating
with the independent counsel?)
Well, not only did the hush money not keep things quiet
here, but it also raises questions anew about Jackson's
suspicious finances, all of which involve tax-exempt
charitable entities. Yet Jackson has continually refused to
reveal anything about his sources of income despite the fact
that U.S. taxpayers have had to in effect subsidize these
funds by foregoing the proportionate amount in tax receipts
that would otherwise have been paid.
What an amazing - though not entirely surprising - turn of
events for the ol' Rev. during Martin Luther King Jr.
holiday week.
Here we have the same opportunistic "aide" to the Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr. allegedly smearing blood, other than
that of the slain civil rights leader, on his own shirt and
then rushing to appear on national television claiming it as
Dr. King's on the night of the assassination in April 1968.
Such obvious hypocrisy has long been associated with Jackson
and his leftist supporters in the mainstream media.
It is also ironic that while Jackson is leading the racist
smear by Democrats against U.S. attorney general nominee
John Ashcroft, it was Jackson himself had who once uttered
his infamous anti-Semitic "hymie-town" slur and was given a
virtual pass by the media.
Suffice it to say that the rhymin' slime spewed regularly by
Jackson wherever a television camera can be found might be
subject to just a bit more scrutiny and skepticism in the
future.
But, of course, that's an awfully big might.

Jackson took his
pregnant mistress to an Oval Office meeting at the height
of the
Lewinsky Impeachment saga, a stunning new report claims.
Washington will soon be jolted and storm clouds will
form over
Inauguration Weekend after a NATIONAL ENQUIRER expose
alleges Jesse
Jackson fathered a daughter conceived out of wedlock by a
part-time
RAINBOW COALITION staffer who was given $40,000 to
relocate to Los
Angeles where she now lives in $365,000 multi-bedroom
spread and
receives a $10,000 a month stipend from Jackson, it is
alleged.
The NEW YORK POST is rushing to splash the story in
fresh editions,
according to newspaper sources.
"JESSE JACKSON'S LOVE CHILD" -- the ENQUIRER is planning
to blare in
its Page One splash of its January 30 edition.
"A $40,000 moving expense is outrageous," one RAINBOW
COALITION source
tells the ENQUIRER.
The ENQUIRER names the mother, aged 39.
It does not name the young miss, aged 2. A photo of the
girl is featured
with a blue dot over her face shielding her identity.
Clinton administration officials were bracing for yet
another
photograph, obtained by the ENQUIRER, which pictures Jesse
Jackson, the
pregnant mistress, President Bill Clinton, and RAINBOW
COALITION
executives smiling in the Oval Office.
The picture was taken on December 3, 1998 -- at the
height of the
Clinton sex scandal.
"Here was Rev. Jackson counseling Bill Clinton on his
infidelity and
Jackson's pregnant mistress was smiling along?" asked a
publishing
source.
Jackson urged Clinton to take a contrite tone in his
public
explanation of the Lewinsky affair:
"Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut. And don't
panic."
"If you respond with a contrite heart," Jackson told
Clinton, "that
obligates the public to respond with mercy."
The ENQUIRER quotes extensively from RAINBOW COALITION
insiders and
the mistress. Jesse Jackson's wife is said to be
devastated by the
alleged long-term affair.
Jackson had been prepared earlier this week to preempt
this story with
an appearance on BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION, the
DRUDGE REPORT has
learned. Jackson later pulled out of the appearance when
it became
unclear if the ENQUIRER was going forward.
Which they will.
Which they are.
Which you now know.

[CTRL] Ashcroft Backed Bill That Called Murder OK
License to kill? As a senator, John Ashcroft backed a Missouri bill that might make killing an abortion provider justifiable homicide. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Adele M. Stan Jan. 18, 2001 | The campaign for Sen. John Ashcroft's seat in the U.S. Senate probably began in earnest after the late Mel Carnahan, Missouri's Democratic governor and Ashcroft's would-be opponent, vetoed a controversial bill known as the Infant's Protection Act. Proponents touted the act as a ban on late-term, or so-called "partial-birth," abortions, and from his bully pulpit on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Ashcroft made hay off his rival's veto. During an October 1999 speech in support of the Partial Birth Abortion Act, which he co-sponsored with Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Penn., Ashcroft said: "Tragically, the Missouri partial birth infanticide bill was vetoed despite its overwhelming passage by the bipartisan Missouri General Assembly." This had followed a previous statement Ashcroft issued in April 1999, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, calling on Carnahan to "sign this important bill." Later, during his failed campaign against the late Carnahan (whose widow, Jean, has taken his Senate seat after he was killed in a fatal air crash in October), Ashcroft launched a radio ad that attacked the governor, saying he had "vetoed a ban on partial-birth abortions." But what Ashcroft, President-elect Bush's nominee for attorney general, didn't mention was that the Infant's Protection Act allows the use of force against abortion providers -- perhaps even deadly force -- to stop any illegal abortion. Moreover, the bill leaves unclear just what constitutes an illegal abortion. Even the bill's author, Louis DeFeo of the Missouri Catholic Conference, initially agreed that the bill allowed deadly force against abortion providers, saying, "I think that's justifiable in protecting a person." (The bill effectively defines a fetus as a person.) As Carnahan put it in his veto statement at the time: "Perhaps most outrageously of all, this bill will allow someone to legally commit acts of violence, including a lethal act against a physician, nurse or patient, in order to prevent a termination of a pregnancy by a procedure which the attacker reasonably believes would be a violation of this bill." Moreover, Carnahan wrote, the bill was drawn in such a way as to "ban some of the safest and most commonplace first- and second-trimester abortion procedures." Carnahan's veto was overridden by the Legislature in an effort led by a member of his own party. And Ashcroft immediately began lauding the veto override at Carnahan's expense. "It is an incredible accomplishment," Ashcroft told his fellow senators. "It represents only the seventh veto override in Missouri history, the third override this century, the first override since 1980." (Translation: Ashcroft suffered no overrides during his two terms as Missouri's chief executive.) A day after the override, Planned Parenthood of Missouri went to a federal court and won an injunction against enforcement of the law, arguing that it criminalized most common abortion procedures. The injunction remains in effect as Planned Parenthood's legal challenge to the law continues. "Of all of the different versions of these bills, [the Infant's Protection Act] was the most egregious assault on reproductive rights of any of them -- even going so far as giving a defense to those who might engage in violence," says Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL). "It was an extraordinary bill. And Ashcroft supported it fully." Now, as Ashcroft tries to assure his critics that his own partisan political views won't inappropriately influence the job of the nation's top law enforcer, the question emerges: Did Ashcroft, a staunch abortion opponent, condone the potentially extreme ramifications of the bill? Ashcroft, like other Cabinet nominees, is not taking questions from the media, and the Bush transition office did not respond to requests for a comment. Supporters of the bill claim it offers no protection for potential abortion-doctor killers. But opponents dispute that. At first glance, the Infant's Protection Act simply appears to be a particularly punitive version of a conventional "partial-birth" abortion ban, one in which a doctor who performs the procedure and the woman who engages the doctor to perform it could be charged with infanticide, or second-degree murder of a "living infant." But the "living infant" described in Missouri law could be a first-trimester fetus. In the Infant's Protection Act, a "living infant" is defined as "a human child, born or partially born." Prior case law sets the precedent for the use of the word "person" to include "unborn child or children," cited in one statute to mean "the offspring of human beings from the moment of conception until birth at every stage of biological development." The act also gives new meaning to the terms "born" and "partially

[CTRL] MARINE CORPS TO INVESTIGATE OSPREY SQUADRON
NEWS RELEASE from the United States Department of Defense No. 026-01 (703)695-0192(media) IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 18, 2001 (703)697-5737(public/industry) MARINE CORPS TO INVESTIGATE OSPREY SQUADRON The Department of Defense today announced that the commandant of the Marine Corps has directed the inspector general of the Marine Corps to investigate allegations that the commanding officer of Marine Tilt-Rotor Training Squadron-204 asked Marines to falsify maintenance records on the squadron's MV-22 Osprey aircraft. Marine Corps officials first became aware of these allegations Jan. 12, when they received a copy of an anonymous letter and audio tape that was mailed to the Office of the Secretary of the Navy. The information alleged that the unit commander asked his Marines to falsify maintenance documents concerning the squadron's MV-22 Osprey aircraft. The squadron is based at Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C. Marine Corps officials said that although the inspector general has yet to complete his investigation, at this point there appears to be no relation between these allegations and the causes of either the April 8 mishap in Marana, Ariz., or the Dec. 11 mishap in North Carolina. Based upon a preliminary review of the information contained in the package, the commanding general of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing relieved the squadron commander this morning, pending the inspector general's thorough investigation of the matter. For more information, contact Maj. Patrick Gibbons, U.S. Marine Corps Headquarters, at (703) 614-4309. -END-

[CTRL] Has Chinagate crept into the Bush Administration?
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Has Chinagate crept into the Bush Administration? By Chuck Baldwin January 16, 2001 This past Sunday, NewsMax.com published a disturbing report stating that perhaps communist China's surreptitious intrusions into our government may now even include high-level appointments inside the Bush administration. To quote NewsMax: "Elaine Chao, the wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the woman selected by President-elect George W. Bush to replace Labor Secretary-designate Linda Chavez, had several contacts during the 1990's with key Chinagate figure John Huang. "Deposition transcripts taken by Judicial Watch, a Washington-based public interest law firm, and released exclusively today to NewsMax.com, reveal that Huang's relationship with Chao may have been more significant than previously disclosed. "Huang has already admitted to at least one illegal donation to the campaign of Chao's husband, Sen. McConnell." As most of you probably already know, John Huang is the Chinese operative who helped funnel perhaps millions of dollars in illegal campaign contributions to Bill Clinton, the DNC and even Republican coffers during the past decade. You probably also recall that it was the Lippo Group, the Asian banking conglomerate founded by Indonesian billionaire, Mochtar Riady, who has close ties to communist China, that financed Huang. NewsMax further notes that, "Under intense questioning by Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman, Huang repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment privileges when asked to detail his relationship with both McConnell and Chao. Huang was later cited for contempt." Huang also stated that he had several private meetings with Chao, but refused to release details. Please remember that the reason Bush gave for sacking Linda Chavez was that she ostensibly didn't reveal her involvement with that illegal immigrant. Are we now to assume that Bush knew about Chao's involvement with John Huang before naming her as Labor Secretary-designate? And just what was her involvement with Huang? What favors did Huang (a.k.a. China) receive in exchange for those illegal contributions to her husband's Senatorial campaign? And what was the essence of Chao's meetings with Huang? What (if anything) does she owe to China? NewsMax quoted Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton as saying, "The Senate needs to probe whether Chao revealed her relationship with Huang." Without professing a gift of prophecy, I will predict that none of the Senators charged with Chao's confirmation (Republican or Democrat) will make any inquiries into these matters. Neither will you hear members of the national press corps raise any of these concerns. Fitton was also quoted as saying, "I think that at least Elaine Chao should be held to the same standard as Linda Chavez.." She won't be. Ever since the impeachment proceedings, it has been painfully obvious that Chinagate has compromised both parties in Washington, D.C. Recall that it was the Republican leadership that put a halt to David Schipper's investigation into Chinagate. If we really knew how deep and penetrating the influence of communist China's subversion of our political system runs, it would probably scare us all half to death. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] Article from AFP re: Glaciers Dissapearing Fast-Andes
-Caveat Lector- Subject: [Article from AFP re: Glaciers Dissapearing Fast Andes glaciers disappearing fast, scientists say PARIS (AFP) - Small glaciers in the tropical Andes may have disappeared 15 years from now, destroyed by the more frequent occurrence of the El Nino climate pattern, French and South American scientists warn. Tests conducted on two glaciers in Bolivia and Ecuador suggests that these unique phenomena of tropical latitudes may have melted entirely by 2015, the researchers say. "Their shrinkage rate has accelerated markedly over the past 10 or so years. If the ice recession continues at the same pace, their survival will be jeopardised even in the short term," they said in a statement issued Wednesday. The researchers are from France's Institute for Development Research (IRD), Bolivia's Institute of Hydraulics and Hydrology (IHH) and Ecuador's National Institute for Meteology and Hydrology (INAMHI). Their findings mirror a warning expected to be made on Monday next week by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the top panel of climatologists advising the United Nations. Their report is expected to say that since the late 1960s, global snow cover has decreased by about 10 percent and mountain glaciers in non-polar regions are in "widespread retreat" as a result of global warming. The latest research, however, pins the threat to the Andean glaciers more specifically -- to a greater frequency of the highly damaging El Nino pattern, which has caused a dramatic fall in local rainfall. The two glaciers studied, Antizana in Ecuador and Chacaltaya in Bolivia, are each less than a square kilometer (half an acre) in area, located at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres (16,250 feet). They suffered their worst shrinkage during the El Ninos that occurred in 1991-1992, 1994-1996 and 1997-1998, retreating at up to 1.4 metres (4.5 feet) per year. When El Nino went into reverse, in 1999 and 2000, the glaciers either stabilised or grew, they note. El Nino, a massive displacement of water in the Pacific Ocean, brings higher surface temperatures off the coast of South America and cooler waters around Australia and New Zealand. The phenomenon, blamed for causing droughts, floods, frosts and forest fires around the world in regions as far apart as south Asia and the Horn of Africa, occurs at intervals of between two and 10 years. The average return is four and a half years, but the frequency has increased sharply over the past two decades. Climatologists suggest the cause for this higher frequency is global warming, which creates a big buildup of warm water in the western Pacific that disrupts traditional current and rainfall patterns. Global warming is the term describing progressively higher atmospheric temperatures caused by the release of carbon dioxide gas, mainly from burning oil, gas and coal. These have a "greenhouse effect" of hanging invisibly in the lower atmosphere, which then stores up the heat from the Sun.

[CTRL] North Koreas Economic Drive Risks Destabilizing the Regime
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! North Koreaâs Economic Drive Risks Destabilizing the Regime 15 January 2001 Summary North Korea has fired 10 senior officers of the National Security Agency for âirregularitiesâ in inter-Korean trade. The move follows several other personnel changes in the North Korean regime, particularly ones centering around issues of foreign trade and investment. The rapid shifts in Pyongyang â triggered by changes in the U.S. administration and economic and political pressures in Seoul â risk destabilizing factions within the North Korean elite only recently consolidated under Kim Jong Il. Analysis North Korea dismissed 10 senior officers of the National Security Agency over âirregularitiesâ in inter-Korean trade activities, according to South Koreaâs Yonhap news agency. Citing a source close to North Korean affairs, Yonhap said the officers, including two brigadier generals, worked for North Koreaâs Paekdusan Container Company, which has been linked to delays in transporting raw materials from South Korea to factories in the North and transporting partially finished goods to the South. The move is just one in a series of recent personnel shifts and signals from North Korea that suggest a resurgence in focus on economic issues. Pyongyangâs concern is that shifts in U.S. leadership and growing political and economic pressures in South Korea may undermine the current trend of increased economic contact with North Korea. The rapid shift in personnel and policy, however, may spur internal factional competition, undermining the stability of the regime. The firing of the North Korean officers comes as South Korean Unification officials called for a sea transportation agreement with Pyongyang to prevent similar problems from hindering inter-Korean economic cooperation. In 2000, inter-Korean processing trade rose from $99 million a year earlier to $140 million, according to the South Korean Unification Ministry, accounting for more than 50 percent of total inter-Korean trade. Pyongyang recently changed several other key government officials relating to economic and trade policies. On Oct. 2, just days after Seoul and Pyongyang agreed to establish a joint economic cooperation committee, the North Korean government replaced the nation's finance minister and Central Bank president. In December, Pyongyang replaced the foreign trade minister and the ambassador to Beijing. The changes in North Korean officials shows a pattern of replacing the older, more conservative cadre with younger ones more familiar with the concepts of modern international trade. New Central Bank President Kim Wan Sun, for example, formerly served on the [North] Korean International Joint Venture Group, responsible for forging economic ties with outside parties. Choe Jin Su, the new ambassador to Beijing, is nearly 25 years younger than his outgoing predecessor, who served as a chief negotiator in North Korean-U.N. armistice talks in the 1960s. Choe, a career diplomat, was most recently vice director of the International Department of the ruling Workers Party of Korea. Perhaps most telling of Pyongyangâs personnel shifts is the new trade minister, Ri Kwang Gun, a 46-year-old who until last year acted as president of a trading firm. Ri was educated in East Germany and was chief economic councilor for the North Korean trade representative to Germany in the mid 1990s, according to Yonhap. South Korea's Unification Ministry greeted Riâs appointment with optimism, saying he has expertise in trade with Western countries, while his predecessor was an out-of-date figure who believed in a state-controlled economy. A shift in rhetoric matches the recent series of personnel changes. In the annual New Yearâs Day editorial carried in three official newspapers, the North Korean government emphasized, âThere is no more important task before us today than to consolidate the national economic might commensurate with the 21st century,â according to a translation by Yonhap. In another article in the official Rodong Sinmun, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il said, âWe entered a new epoch, so [we] should learn structures and rules existing in foreign countries,â according to a translation by the Russian economic news agency AKM. Kim Jong Il further called for the North Korean people to âabandon old ideas and develop a new way of thinking and a new viewpoint,â according to the Korea Herald. Since Jan 1, Pyongyang has rapidly accelerated stalled contact with the South, proffering several economic and social meetings ranging from new fisheries talks to resuming Red Cross talks on family reunions. Even before New Yearâs Day, an EU delegation to Pyongyang in November reported that North Korean officials are considering allowing multinational corporations to retain full control over investments in North Korea.

[CTRL] WND: Clinton adviser breached security NSC
-Caveat Lector- Clinton adviser breached security NSC Official transferred classified files to unsecured network, but kept her job. By Paul Sperry WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON -- A national security adviser to President Clinton was caught transferring highly classified computer files from a secure network in the White House to an unsecured network, but was allowed to stay on the job, White House sources tell WorldNetDaily. The 1998 breach in security occurred when the National Security Council official copied classified files onto a disk from an NSC computer in a secure area of the West Wing, White House employees say. She then loaded the files onto a computer connected to an unsecured network in her Old Executive Office Building office, exposing the secret data to potential Internet hackers and foreign spies, sources say. "It was a bunch of files, not just one," said a White House employee familiar with the incident. "And they were all classified, which made it a serious security violation." Jaime Borrego, former White House information security officer, uncovered the computer security breach and alerted White House Security Officer Charles Easley. Easley, in turn, met with then-White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles to discuss how to proceed with an investigation into the security infraction and potential compromise of U.S. intelligence. After the adviser admitted taking the classified files, Easley confiscated her computer and took away her building security badge. But White House sources say the national security adviser, who is a Clinton appointee, was allowed to return to her job after going out on extended leave. "She was supposed to be fired and wasn't," said a White House employee close to the investigation. "She went on maternity leave. Now she's back working at NSC." National security experts say the White House security violation fits a pattern of sloppy handling of U.S. secrets throughout the government during the past eight years: State Department officials lost several classified laptops. A missing hard drive containing nuclear secrets turned up behind a copier at Los Alamos lab. A Los Alamos scientist managed to download the entire history of the U.S. nuclear-bomb program and bomb-testing data onto several computer tapes, some of which still haven't been recovered. A Pentagon official left his CIA briefing book in a Beijing hotel room. Even CIA Director John Deutch mishandled secrets. Clinton, along with his National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, have for the most part brushed off the problems as unfortunate but isolated events, while assuring Americans that their national security secrets are safe. "But this latest breach lays the problem right at the West Wing and at Berger's door," said William C. Triplett, a former Reagan White House official, who notes that Berger was a lobbyist for China before joining the NSC. The White House refused to identify the NSC official who mishandled the classified material. "It's been a long-standing policy of the White House that we do not discuss internal security matters and investigations," said White House spokesman Mark Kitchens. Asked why the woman was allowed to keep her job, Kitchens said, "We don't discuss our internal policies." Neither Kitchens nor NSC spokesman P.J. Crowley would say if the adviser has retained her CIA clearance to review classified information. "This is the president's national security staff, so they're going to have access to the most sensitive materials the United States has," said Ken deGraffenreid, who headed intelligence programs at the NSC from 1981 to 1987. "Everybody there would be cleared for extremely high levels of compartmented information, because it's just the nature of the work," he added. White House insiders say the adviser accessed the files from a West Wing "SCIF" -- a secure room where material classified Top Secret and above is stored in vaults and on secure computers. Some SCIFs protect super-secret coded information. If such data fell into the wrong hands, they could cause grave danger to U.S. security -- especially if they were transmitted electronically. For that reason, SCIFs can't have computers connected to an unclassified system, even if it's the White House local area network used only by employees. They have to be on a secure system. "You can't bring in a regular phone line or Internet line into a full-up SCIF. You can't take a cell phone in there, even though many of the rooms are hardened to protect against electronic eavesdropping," said deGraffenreid. "The rooms have access locks. Uncleared people can't get in. Security officers are responsible for guarding them, along with information security specialists," he added. And there should still be procedures in place for removing magnetic media, he says. Staffers shouldn't be able to take disks in or out -- unless they log them out and give a specific destination, such as another SCIF. "If

[CTRL] CONGRESS ACTION: January 14, 2001
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CONGRESS ACTION: January 14, 2001 = VAST LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY: The pretensions of the extremist left (which now includes virtually the entire Democrat Party) to diversity and compassion are proven to be nothing but obscene jokes. By giving shelter to an abused woman who was an illegal alien, Linda Chavez actually practiced the compassion that the left preaches, and was demonized by "compassionate" leftists for doing so. Sanctimonious leftists believe that compassion is the business of government alone (using other people's money, of course). The socialist left has turned its venom on Interior nominee Gale Norton, for the unforgivable sin of understanding the importance of private property rights to the preservation of freedom. The Founders of this nation also understood that importance, along with every other non-Marxist economist and political thinker throughout history, and the Founders protected private property rights in our Bill of Rights. But anyone who defends private property rights, and thereby the Constitution and freedom, is on the fringe and outside the mainstream, according to the socialist left, and is to be demonized and destroyed. Does there remain any doubt that the radical environmental movement is the home of unreformed socialists disillusioned by the collapse of their fallen icon, the Soviet Union? Then there is John Ashcroft, attacked by the left as a racist for having voted against a black Clinton judicial nominee. To left-wing extremists, there is not a single solitary reason to ever vote against a judge who is black -- except racism. Which therefore makes every Senate democrat who voted against Clarence Thomas a racist. But the democrats are the ones who demanded confirmation based solely on skin color, so who are the real bigots? Ashcroft's record of honorable public service puts the lie to the racism charge, and his enemies know it. The real reason he has incurred the wrath of that unprecedented coalition of left-wing extremist groups is that he is devoutly religious and moral. Religious tests for public office were ended in this nation centuries ago -- but not in the totalitarian and hate-filled world of the left, where one must act, think, and believe in lock-step with the amoral religious left, or one is vilified. The left also impugns Ashcroft's honor by claiming that he might not enforce the laws. Because they are without honor, and circumventing the law is standard practice with them, many leftists assume that everyone is as corrupt as they are. What they really fear, however, is that Ashcroft in fact will enforce the laws, evenhandedly and vigorously. These hysterical assaults not only prove, again, the truly dishonorable character of the left; they prove the folly of Trent Lott's attempt to buy peace by sharing Senate power with democrats, whose only goal is to destroy conservatives. Appeasement by pre-emptive surrender only emboldens your enemies. INDICT CLINTON?: The punditry is swirling with speculation about whether Bill Clinton will be indicted when he leaves office. Clinton's impeachment defenders certainly invited such an indictment, claiming that the legal system alone was the proper venue to punish Clinton's official wrongdoing, and then only after he leaves office. Of course they weren't really serious. They just said that during impeachment because, at the time, it allowed them to assume a phony moralistic stance while defending the indefensible. Hypocrisy and unceasing defense of Bill Clinton can be expected from democrats and other leftists, but pragmatic republicans have also joined the "pardon Bill" camp. They all mouth the appropriate abstract principles -- no man is above the law, we are a nation of laws and not men -- but then jettisons those principles and suggests that it is time, in the immortal phrase of the Clintonoids, to "just move on". Senator Orrin Hatch -- "It's time to let President Clinton fade into whatever he's going to fade into, and I just don't see keeping it alive any longer." Sorry, Senator Hatch, Bill Clinton isn't fading away to anywhere; on the contrary, he is engaged in a vigorous effort to rewrite history to "prove" that he never did anything wrong and that republicans should apologize to him for impeachment; all the while questioning Bush's legitimacy and issuing a blizzard of executive decrees designed to undermine the Bush administration. Congressman Henry Hyde, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee during impeachment -- "The president has had his trial, and it is over.", and to ".follow up with an indictment and put the president on trial would diminish the institution of the presidency and the nation in the eyes of the world." Sorry, Congressman Hyde, there never was a trial, as you well know, and it was Clinton who diminished the institution of the presidency and the nation. Former President Bush -- "He's
[CTRL] UPI: Dems: Let DOJ take over Clinton probe
-Caveat Lector- Dems: Let DOJ take over Clinton probe Thursday, 18 January 2001 15:29 (ET) By MICHAEL KIRKLAND UPI Legal Affairs Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Twelve Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee urged independent counsel Robert Ray in a letter Thursday to turn over his investigation of President Bill Clinton to the Justice Department. Ray has said he would announce shortly whether he will ask a sitting grand jury to indict the president in the Monica Lewinsky scandal after Clinton leaves office. Although Ray is thought to be leaning against an indictment, there is even less enthusiasm in the incoming Bush administration for a Clinton prosecution on the same grounds that brought the president's impeachment in late 1998 and acquittal in the Senate in early 1999. President-elect George W. Bush has said Clinton should be allowed to "get on with his life." Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, has said that he doubts there is "a jury in the United States" that would convict the popular ex-president, and has urged Bush to grant Clinton a pre-emptive pardon -- even though Clinton has said he doesn't want one, and Bush has said he wouldn't issue a pardon before someone is prosecuted. A Ray spokeswoman said Thursday afternoon that the independent counsel's office had just received the Democratic letter and would have no immediate comment. The 12 Democrats sending the letter were led by Rep. John Conyers Jr., D-Mich., the ranking minority member on the committee. Their letter asks Ray to "turn over the remaining matters within your jurisdiction to the Department of Justice, effective Jan. 21, 2001, the first full day of the new Bush administration" following Saturday's presidential inauguration. The Democrats pointed out that Ray's predecessor, Kenneth Starr, "has already gone on record in favor of returning the office's outstanding cases to the department" when he resigned in October 1999. The turnover was rejected by Attorney General Janet Reno. Even if a continuing investigation could be sustained after Congress let the Independent Counsel Act expire in 1999, "it would seem impossible to justify the continuation of the existence of an independent counsel after (both) the law has expired, and after the conflict of interest has evaporated by virtue of the fact that the Clinton administration is no longer in power," the Democrats said. "...We urge you to recognize that a decision by you to continue the existence of your office after the expiration of the law and the end of the Clinton administration would likely be perceived as partisan," they added. Ray has hired new prosecutors within the last several months and has been presenting evidence to a Washington grand jury. The grand jury appears to be mostly made up of whites, an anomaly in Washington, where blacks make up the vast majority of the population, according to courthouse insiders. Grand jury matters are kept secret, and Ray has not commented on its makeup. The independent counsel has said publicly he is considering charging Clinton with perjury and obstruction of justice in the Lewinsky case, the same grounds that Starr used to recommend articles of impeachment to the Republican-dominated House in 1998. It is not clear whether indicting Clinton on the same grounds would be constitutional. The Constitution makes it clear that an official indicted in the House, convicted in the Senate and removed from office can still be "subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law." But the Constitution is silent on officials who are indicted in the House and acquitted in the Senate. Clinton's lawyers might try to argue before a federal judge that trying to prosecute the ex-president after his Senate acquittal would constitute double jeopardy. = 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.

Throughout the rally, pictures and photographs of Jerusalem - such as the City of David antiquities, the Temple Mount, and the liberation of the city in 1967 - were screened on the walls of the Old City near the Tower of David and Jaffa Gate. Speakers included Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Moshe Landau, Avital Sharansky (wife of Yisrael B'Aliyah Party head Natan Sharansky), Chairman of Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Ron Lauder, paratroopers such as Rabbi Yisrael Ariel who participated in the capture of Jerusalem in 1967, left-wing Rishon LeTzion Mayor Meir Nitzan, and Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert. Olmert stated that while outgoing US President Bill Clinton is a friend of Israel, he is also the first US president who called for dividing Jerusalem. The rally is probably best described by the words of Rabbi Eliezer Waldman, Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshivat Kiryat Arba. In a commentary he stated, "There is no way to describe the image of a literal sea of Jews against the background of the ancient walls of the holy city. There was a silent communication between the stones and the people Never was there such a demonstration, not in numbers nor in the intensity of the emotions of faith, love and loyalty which the very word Jerusalem aroused within the people How pathetic Clinton has become when even after Arafat mocked him and scorned his proposal, he still grovels at the murderer's feet begging for even a hint of compromise. The lame duck president simply cannot relate to the reality of these 400,000 Jews who pledged allegiance to the unity of Jerusalem under exclusive Jewish sovereignty, echoing the voices of millions of Jews all over the world. He cannot understand that all of the Jewish people have an eternal holy bond with this city which can never be broken or compromised But when Jerusalem was put on the chopping block, all Jewish hearts began throbbing for Jerusalem. Our holy city is, indeed, the heart of our nation and for her we are all united in defense of our only homeland." [The entire commentary can be found at: http://nircollege.com/Jerusalem_eternal.htm]. Pictures of the event can be found at: http://www.gamla.org.il/english http://www.israelnationalnews.com/english/newspaper/news/demonstration.htm http://info.jpost.com/C001/Supplements/JerusalemRally/ :: NO ORGANIZED JEWISH FUNDAMENTALIST CONSPIRACY: Officials in the intelligence and security communities report they do not have any data pointing to an organized Jewish conspiracy to strike out against Islamic targets, a move that might led to increased hostility in the region. Officials however do not rule out the possibility that an attack might be perpetrated by lone persons, but not on a more organized level based on current intelligence information. Police have recently stated repeatedly that they fear reprisals by Jews against Arabs and the possibility of an attempted attack on the Temple Mount. :: CLINTON: ISRAEL MUST SHARE LAND: US President Clinton on Sunday told the people of Israel that their land also is the Palestinians' homeland and that "there is no choice but for you to divide this land into two states for two people." Addressing the people of Israel before a largely Jewish audience at the Jewish Policy Forum, a think tank on the Middle East, Clinton said "you have hardly had one day of peace and quiet

He is called the Father of the Kabbala. He had strange supernatural powers as all well trained Jesuits possess. He had a profound influence on the Jewish world. He was the first to suggest that the Dome of the Rock was the site of the former Temple. This idea set the stage for conflict with the Arabs. Remember LIEola had visited Jerusalem and he knew a lot about the city. He knew the Arabs would never give up their holy place to the Jews so the Temple would never be rebuilt. This would mean constant conflict and wars. Here is a brief quote from the Secret Oath of the Jesuits: "You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace. To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means."

[CTRL] Skolnick - The Rev. Jesse Jackson Affair
http://www.sightings.com/general7/skolj.htm Skolnick - The Rev. Jesse Jackson Affair By Sherman H. Skolnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.skolnicksreport.com 1-18-01 Some folks because of an apparent lack of wisdom, seem to reject and violate age-old proverbs. Such as, "PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW STONES". Being a life-long resident of Chicago and an activist since I was a child, I became known as someone who was not afraid to speak out. By 1965, self-educated in law, I brought a series of federal court class actions to re-apportion Chicago and Illinois's terribly gerry-mandered voting districts. The "One Man, One Vote" constitutionally-based standards were being flagrantly violated. These violations resulted in blacks and latinos not having a fair chance to elect a sufficient number of representatives such as in the City Council of Chicago, as justified by the minority population in the Windy City. Members of minorities understood I was using my legal research and investigation skills not only to target crooked judges and lawyers, but to assist the aspirations of the underdogs. I choose not to be a member of the Bar. The Federal Judges, who hate non-lawyers and me in particular, were nevertheless forced to permit me to represent myself as a voter and all voters similarly situated. As a result of my lawsuits, sometimes opposed by as many as fifty lawyers [my electric mimeograph rapidly cranked out the court papers], blacks and latinos were able to have more representatives speaking for their interests elected to the City Council, the Illinois State Legislature, and the U.S. Congress, and eventually even the County Board. By 1969, there was a vast movement in Chicago of black would-be home-owners. By racially-discrminatory practices, banks "red-lined" black districts, so blacks could not get a home mortgage. Blacks had to buy "on contract", paying per month on the basis of twice what the house was worth. I became a volunteer consultant to the 25,000 members of the South Side Contract Buyers League. In packed church mass meetings, I outlined what needs to be done. I dared tell them that the judges hearing their cause were real estate speculators and landlords of sizeable properties, enemies of the common man. The judges opposed the dreams of the Chicago blacks to one-day own their own home. To the Establishment and their banks and mortgage companies, a grassroots movement, like the Buyers League, is dangerous, like a prairie fire. They have to stop it. Enter, Rev. Jesse Jackson. A series of well-informed sources told me plenty about Jesse's rise to prominence and how he was becoming a multi-millionaire through a series of secret business arrangements. [I had unraveled the secrets of his ill-gotten wealth.] At a crucial court hearing, Rev. Jackson arrived with his muscle-men, called "Black Men Moving", grim enforcers, who overwhelmed the already packed courtroom. The leaders of the Buyers League, present in Court, were prepared, representing themselves, to discuss the law and the facts [they whispered to me that they suspected Jesse's bunch were a set-up, provocateurs]. The court scene became extreme and tense, with Jesse's people, instead of discussing law and facts, hollaring slogans and threats. The County Sheriff himself, not a deputy, entered the Courtroom and stood next to the Judge on the bench. The deputies swept into the courtroom. Guess who they arrested? Not Jesse Jackson or his military-style team, but rather the President and Vice-President of the Buyers League who had been mostly polite and silent. They were taken to the Sheriff's lock-up in the Court basement. At that point, Jesse went from the courthouse to the Mayor's Office across the street. I told a number of the Buyers League members to hurry up and push me in my wheelchair to follow Jesse. As I rolled up, Jesse was sitting in the Mayor's outer office. He growled at me, "What are you doing here white face?" I responded, "Look, I am not some white cracker bigot that you are trying to scare. I am helping the Buyers League. YOUR southside office is just a few feet away from THEIR office. Yet, you repeatedly refused to help them." As he entered the Mayor's inner office he kept several women members of the Buyers League from following him in. They began pounding on the closed door, "Jesse, come out of there! You do not speak for us." Jeese exited the inner office as a TV crew was setting up their lights. As he approached their microphone he glared at me, "I'm going to get you for this!" Like some over six foot high pest-control expert, somehow giving me advance warning, looking down at me sitting in my wheelchair like I was some kind of helpless bug. Sweet victory! The confrontation and commotions I caused resulted in the two leaders of the Buyers League being released from the court basement lock-up. After other incidents, my strategies worked. Rev. Jesse Jackson did not succeed in taking over and snuffing out
[CTRL] Jesse Jackson redder than you think
http://www.newaus.com.au/us168jackson.html The truth about Jessie The Red Jackson by Gerard Jackson TNA News with Commentary Thursday 14 December 2000 Four years of political warfare were signalled by Jesse Jackson when he exclaimed: We will take to the streets right now. We will delegitimise Bush, discredit him, do whatever it takes, but never accept him, even threatening a civil rights explosion. Jesse Jackson: reckless dishonest Jackson tried to justify his threat against Bush by saying: I hope today that this court will rule let the vote count. The only way you can determine a legitimate winner is for the votes to count. This statement exposes Jackson as a liar. First, every vote has been counted; second, he supported Gores efforts to literally disenfranchise service personnel plus 25,000 absentee voters from Martin and Seminole counties. The more Jackson opens his sleazy mouth the more he sounds like one of Castros corrupt party hacks, especially the ones that work on the New York Slimes. That Jackson should threaten to subvert a duly appointed president should alert Americans to the lawless nature of the Democrats hardcore supporters and their utter contempt for the rule of law and anything resembling the truth. Part of the problem is that only a tiny per centage of conservatives are truly aware of what kind of political animal Jackson really is, and even they remain silent. I, however, think the time has now come to expose Jesse Jackson as a race-baiting hypocrite and an anti-American activist who wishes his country nothing but harm. One only has to examine Jacksons links to the Marxist Washington-based IPS (Institute for Policy Studies) to gain some understanding of his motives. This is how Brian Crozier described that organisation: The IPS is the perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were too originate openly from the KGB. Crozier is a highly regarded commentator on intelligence matters and was a fellow of the prestigious London-based Institute for the Study of Conflict. His opinion was supported by the fact that the IPS had been a frequent meeting place for known KGB operatives. It also supported every anti-Western terrorist group I can think of as well giving strong support to Castro, which it still does. None of this stopped Jackson from developing strong ties with the institute and taking its advice, far from it. IPS founders Marcus Raskin and Richard Barnett, and institute fellows Roger Wilkins and Robert Borosage all of whom profoundly anti-American and deeply pro-Soviet were Jacksons advisers during his futile run for the presidency. Wilkins was Jacksons key speechwriter and was responsible for his candidacy speech; Wilkins, a fervent supporter of Soviet central planning, advised Jackson on domestic policy while Borosage, an admirer of Castro and other communist thugs, advised him on foreign affairs. Surely that is telling us something about Jacksons true sympathies and his real attitude towards America. In 1984 (a most appropriate year) Gar Alperovitz and Jeff Faux, IPS apparatchiks and communist apologists, published +Rebuilding America, a manual for turning the US into a Soviet-style economy. And who heaped fulsome praise on this totally worthless piece of pro-communist propaganda? You guessed it. God ol Jesse I love Castro Jackson who exclaimed that this economic nonsense would be the economic manual for [my] Rainbow Coalition. Five years later the centrally planned communist states collapsed. The at the IPS is opposed to Americas democratic traditions was made clear when it stated: The Institute for Policy Studies is engaged in a longer and deeper struggle, a struggle over the underlying principles and future direction of the political bankruptcy of the ideas and assumptions now governing America . . . Thats right, folks, the United States Constitution and the Bill or Rights are bankrupt institutions because they serve the interests of the ruling class. In November 1988 the IPS organised a conference called Anti-Communism and the United States: History and Consequences. As you can imagine, those who defended the values of the United States and opposed communist tyranny and the appalling crimes committed by communist states were berated as reactionaries. And guess who was wallowing in this leftwing sewer? No, not Jesse Stick em Up Jackson but Jack ODell who happened to be one of Jacksons close advisers. The same Jesse Shakedown Jackson who led a disgusting protest at Stanford University where he led student barbarians with the chant: Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Civ got to go. Yep, this rabblerousing political parasite called for the destruction of courses teaching the glories of Western Culture everything from the brilliance of ancient Athens through to the renaissance, the literary genius of Shakespeare, the works of seventeenth and eighteenth century thinkers and up to the present
[CTRL] A Stolen Presidency the Seattle Coalition
-Caveat Lector- January 19, 2001 A Stolen Presidency the Seattle Coalition http://www.consortiumnews.com/011901a.html By Nat Parry When George W. Bush thwarted democracy by stopping the counting of votes in Florida and disenfranchising black voters of that state, he most likely did not think that he would be energizing a broad-based progressive coalition that - if it holds together - could threaten the conservative agenda he hopes to implement. This alliance is not completely new. Many of the organizations, now opposing Bush over his theft of the election and challenging his right-wing Cabinet nominees, worked together in the anti-globalization movement that surfaced most notably in the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle in November 1999. However, this movement seemed hopelessly fractured prior to Bush's audacious power grab in Florida. The so-called "Seattle Coalition" - the alliance of labor, environmental, and consumer groups that was formed to challenge the WTO and unrestrained "free trade" - splintered during the 2000 presidential election. With the candidacy of consumer advocate Ralph Nader, the coalition was bitterly divided between those supporting Nader and those backing Vice President Al Gore. To the Nader side, Al Gore and George W. Bush were too closely aligned on too many issues, especially trade. Many in the coalition saw Nader as the clear champion of the anti-globalization issues raised in Seattle. They backed him even though he had no chance of winning and even though his candidacy could siphon off enough votes from Gore to throw the election to Bush. On the other hand, many pragmatic activists from the Seattle Coalition saw the Nader campaign as dangerous and fickle. These activists - led by moderate environmental groups and major labor organizations - supported Gore's candidacy, seeing him as a politician who would listen to their concerns and would collaborate with them on many issues, especially on protecting the world's environment and injecting labor standards into world trade agreements. Yet, largely because of the anti-globalization movement given voice in the streets of Seattle, Nader's candidacy inspired a more intense activism than did the campaigns of either Gore or Bush. Indeed, to these young activists, Nader's campaign was a powerful extension of their anti-corporate movement. Some of the same activists who shut down meetings of the WTO in 1999 shifted their efforts to challenging the two-party system. There were major protests at both the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia and at the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. These protests reflected the anti-globalization movement's contempt for the U.S. electoral system as corrupt. According to this view, expressed frequently by Nader, both parties were beholden to the same corporate special interests. Choosing Al Gore, with his commitment to "free trade," was anathema to the more radical wing of the Seattle Coalition. Protesters also targeted the presidential debates on the grounds that the debates excluded Nader and other third-party candidates. Although the activists failed to shut down the debates, the protests did bring thousands into the streets. Nader drew tens of thousands more to his "super-rallies" as he derided the two major parties as a "duopoly" with no significant differences. Gore Supporters Many others in the Seattle Coalition, however, chose Gore, in part because of his moderate pro-environmental policies and in part because they feared that a Bush presidency would be disastrous for the environment and workers' rights. As Election Day neared - and it became clearer that Nader could very well cost Gore the election - Gore supporters begged Nader to drop out of the race. A group of former Nader allies, called "Nader's Raiders for Gore," urged their former mentor to end his dangerous campaign. Sierra Club president Carl Pope sent an open letter to Nader defending Al Gore's environmental record and calling Nader's strategy "irresponsible." When Nader refused to step aside, alarmed Gore supporters grew increasingly bitter. The consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, which was founded by Ralph Nader and was integral to the Seattle Coalition, received hate mail from former allies, despite the fact that Public Citizen's formal affiliation with Nader ended in 1983. After the election, when it became clear that Ralph Nader had won enough votes in New Hampshire and Florida to tip the Electoral College to Bush, the Seattle Coalition seemed to be hopelessly fractured. Some groups that had backed Gore vowed privately never to work with Nader activists who were viewed as a divisive presence. The Gore backers fumed that the Naderites effectively had handed the powers of the U.S. government over to conservative Republicans opposed to protecting the environment and against putting labor standards into world trade agreements. The anger once directed at the WTO for trampling

If you can find one, put the filler valve on the can and fill an ordinary balloon with the Freon gas. (Note: Do not invert the can as this may result in getting some liquid Freon in the balloon). One you have inflated the balloon with the Freon, tie it off (just like they do with helium balloons at a Fair). NOW FOR THE EXPERIMENT: Simply release the balloonand watch what happens. Does it go up...or down? It goes down! In fact, when you let go of the balloon it will immediately fall to the floor! WHY? BECAUSE FREON (HCFC) IS FIVE TIMES HEAVIER THAN AIR! HERE'S MY POINT: THERE ARE NO CFCs OR HCFCs FLOATING HIGH UP IN THE STRATOSPHERE! NONEZIP.NADA! I know this isn't what you have been told, and told, and told by all the alleged news media or in school classes for the last 15 years. Howeverit is the truth! There are no CFCs way up there in the atmosphere destroying the Ozone Layer. This is a cover storyto hide something else. The something else is that the earth's atmosphere (and the climate) is being intentionally modified. It's being done with so-called "ionospheric heaters" such as "HAARP". (For detailed information about this I suggest you read "Angels Don't Play This HAARP" by Dr. Nick Begich and Jean Manning.) Nowit is true that chlorine will breakdown ozone. Guess what? The oceans naturally release vast quantities of chlorine all the time. All the CFCs ever made are completely insignificant when compared to the amounts of chlorine produced by the earth's oceans. Sowhy didn't all this chlorine destroy the Ozone Layer long ago? BECAUSE THE OZONE LAYER IS CONSTANTLY BEING REGENERATED BY THE ACTION OF SUNLIGHT (HIGH-ENERGY RADIATION) ON OXYGEN MOLECULES HIGH IN THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. THE OZONE IS CONTINUALLY BEING RENEWED BY SUNLIGHT! Many qualified scientists have tried to explain this and get this information to the public. So...why haven't you heard them? BECAUSE THE MASS INFORMATION MEDIA WON'T LET THEM SPEAK. THE MEDIA REFUSES TO ALLOW THIS INFORMATION TO REACH YOU! WHY??? YOU'LL HAVE TO ANSWER THIS FOR YOURSELF.

[CTRL] UPI: Clinton's last pardons
-Caveat Lector- Clinton set to announce last pardons Thursday, 18 January 2001 21:40 (ET) Clinton set to announce last pardonsBy MARK KUKIS WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- President Clinton plans to announce a finallist of pardons Friday in a move that may clear the names of some of themost controversial figures involved in his political career, White Houseaides said. "We've received, either here or at the Department of Justice, literallyhundreds of requests," said White House spokesman Jake Siewert. "But I don'tknow that all of them have come through in the proper way and the properchannels. So we'll look at as many as we can." White House officials said the list of possible pardons includes WebsterHubbell and Susan McDougal, long-time Clinton associates convicted of crimes though special investigations of the Clintons financial dealing when thepresident was the governor of Arkansas. Beginning in 1996, three independent counsels, most notably Kenneth W.Starr, investigated whether the president and first lady Hilary Rodham Clinton were guilty of criminal wrongdoing in a failed Arkansas real estatedeal known was Whitewater. The probe officially ended in September, whenindependent counsel Robert W. Ray determined that there was insufficientevidence to convict the Clintons of either crimes related to Whitewater oran alleged cover up. But the investigation convicted 12 others and spun off parallel probesthat eventually led to Clinton's impeachment in the House for allegedperjury in statements to investigators about his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The Senate subsequently acquitted Clinton. Formerly a ranking Justice Department official, Hubbell was convicted fordefrauding his law firm in Little Rock, Ark. McDougal spent 21 months in jail after being implicated in a $300,000illegal federal loan, part of which was used as money in Whitewater. Whilein jail, McDougal refused to answer questions about the Clintons by independent counsel Starr in a standoff that prolonged her jail time. McDougal and Hubbell represent perhaps the most politically contentious of Clinton's possible pardons Friday. But a number of other clemency appeals under consideration by Clinton have stirred controversy as well. Convicted of securities fraud, Michael Milken is reportedly a contenderfor a presidential pardon. In 1993, Milken served 22 months of a ten-yearsentence, paid $47 million in fines and was banned from the securitiesindustry for life. But influential Democratic donors have reportedly arguedon Milken's behalf on grounds of his philanthropy. In another appeal, American Indian activist Leonard Peltier is seeking clemency after being convicted of killing two FBI agents in 1977. Peltierhas maintained his innocence, but leadership at the FBI remains fiercely opposed to a pardon. Convicted in 1985 of spying for Israel, Jonathan Pollard also has a clemency appeal reportedly under consideration. In December, Clinton pardoned former Democratic House Ways and Means Committee chairman Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois and Tyson Foods executive Archie Schaffer, who was sentenced to a year in prison after being convicted of trying illegally to influence former agriculture secretary Mike Espy. Clinton also pardoned 57 others at the same time, bringing his total clemency grants to 280. Once widely used, presidential clemency dropped off steeply under former President Ronald Reagan, who pardoned an estimated 400 people during his eight years in office. Former President Carter averaged about 200 pardons a year. Former President George Bush pardoned 78 people.

[CTRL] UN team links DU shells to plutonium
-Caveat Lector- THURSDAY JANUARY 18 2001 UN team links DU shells to plutonium BY MICHAEL EVANS DEFENCE EDITOR JOHN PHILLIPS AND JAMES ROBSON THE European Parliament called for a moratorium by the United States and Britain on depleted uranium weapons yesterday. The appeal came as a United Nations team said it was examining fragments of DU found in Kosovo for traces of plutonium. Geoff Hoon, the Defence Secretary, rejected the call and said that British forces would continue to use DU weapons unless there was scientific evidence proving there was a link to cancer-related illnesses. The focus on plutonium followed the discovery by a laboratory working for the UN Environment Programme (Unep) of small amounts of Uranium 236, a more radioactive isotope, in the DU fragments. Pekka Haavisto, chairman of the Unep investigation team, which visited DU sites in Kosovo last year, said: U-236 is much more radioactive than depleted uranium. Traces of U-236 were also found by the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, which had also been sent samples from Kosovo. However, Mr Haavisto, a former Finnish Environment Minister, said that the minute traces found would not change the overall picture of radiological effects. Nevertheless, the discovery indicated that the DU used in the shells came from uranium that had been reprocessed from nuclear power station fuel and could include elements of plutonium, potentially a far more hazardous material. President Ciampi of Italy said yesterday that Nato had a duty to prove conclusively that depleted uranium had not caused widespread deaths from leukaemia among peacekeeping troops serving in the Balkans. The risks to the military and civilians, including the local population, would have to be clarified, he said. His strongly worded speech was delivered to Italian troops serving with the Nato-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo at their headquarters in Pec. Copyright 2001 Times Newspapers Ltd.

Saddam emphasized his support of the Palestinians in their struggle against Israel. Saddam also called on the Arab states to enable his army to pass through their land on its way to annihilate Israel. Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians marched in praise of Iraqi leader Saddam on Wednesday, the 10th anniversary of the start of the Gulf War. "The Palestinian and the Iraqi peoples are in the first trench against Zionism, imperialism and aggression," read one of the banners waved by the crowd. Despite Iraq's impoverishment since the war, Saddam makes generous payments to the families of Palestinians killed and wounded in their 16-week uprising against Israeli occupation. Many Palestinians consider Saddam a hero for resisting the powerful U.S.-led military coalition which ejected Iraqi troops who had invaded neighboring Kuwait. Palestinian babies are named after him. Wednesday's demonstrators marched to the main United Nations office in Gaza City, urging the international community to lift sanctions imposed after the invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

[CTRL] [MC] Mind Control Recovery
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 01-01-18 23:21:06 EST, you write: Sent: Friday, January 19, 2001 1:54 AM Subject: TESSA Re: [MC] Dream Warfare? Hi, Alfred, I am intrigued about your background and experience with MC. Can you share with us? Tessa - Hi! Would you mind if I made my reply and your query onto the list - I would like to share from the supportive aura that you provide. Many thanks, Alfred OK. = Tessa - The origin of my mind control history was quite unintentional, but almost fatal. In 1977, as a futurist at Stanford Research Institute, I directed a proposed study within the Jimmy Carter White House of Extraterrestrial communication. Despite White House approval, the study was abruptly terminated in the summer of 1977 through intervention of the Pentagon liaison to SRI. Immediately following that termination I became a target (TI) of mind control operations, first during my visits with an Assistant Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon. These were designed to undercut my effectiveness as a professional on these issues. These mind control operations continued prior to a planned meeting with Jim Morrison at the New Orleans Athletic Club on issues around the JFK Assassination (I was a CoDirector of the Assassination Information Bureau, and Congessional watchdog for the 1977 HSCA investigation). The mind control operations, both electronic and with deployed teams of perps, continued at my offices at SRI. The result was severe harm to my health. I have filed an affidavit and testified at Sacramento, CA in 2000, as part of the Extraterrestrial Disclosure Project with regard to the above events. The full details of the 1977 Carter White House Extraterrestrial Study and of the mind control attacks against my person will be released when the Disclosure documentary is released for television in or about April, 2001. In the meantime, a book of mine about my recovery from mind control and UFO cults is now available on the Internet, and may be of interest to you. It details my journey back to health after a miraculous recovery from mind control. If you are interested in the book, it is "RECOVERY: A Personal Journey" (Universebooks.com).

[CTRL] India tests its own missile
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Thursday, January 18, 2001 India tests its own missile -- -- From Rahul Bedi, in New Delhi INDIA India successfully test-fired its locally developed long-range intermediate ballistic missile capable of delivering a 2200 lbs (1,000 kg) nuclear payload to a distance of over 1,375 miles (2,000 km) yesterday. Defence officials said the locally designed Agni II (Fire), test-fired for the second time in nine months in its final "operational configuration from the interim test range at Chandipuron-Sea off the eastern Orissa coast, "satisfactorily" met its mission objectives. With an optimum striking range of 1,562 miles (2,500 km) the missile forms part of India's minimum nuclear deterrent, capable of delivering a nuclear warhead anywhere in neighbouring Pakistan, but more significantly, to southern China. Defence officials said the two stage, solid-fuel missile which is 20 metres long and weighs 16 tonnes is capable of being fired from a mobile rail launcher to avoid detection. Scientists were testing the missile's guidance systems, to ensure it landed not more than 100 yards from its target. At present India has only two sets of nuclear-capable missiles with ranges of 150 km and 250 km respectively. The missile test came as India and Pakistan are making tentative steps towards holding peace talks over the northern, disputed Kashmir state. It also coincided with the ongoing visit to India of China's second highest leader, Mr Li Peng, during which he advocated a swift resolution of the border dispute between the two countries over which they went to war in 1962. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] Next Mideast war in the offing?
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! TROUBLE IN THE HOLY LAND Next Mideast war in the offing? Reports say U.S., Britain, Israel making preparations for battle -- -- By Jon Dougherty © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com U.S. military forces in Europe, which are currently at threat condition "Bravo," are set to be upgraded to condition "Charlie" by Jan. 20, while other elements of U.S. European theater forces -- as well as British special forces troops -- may be headed to Israel "within a few weeks," sources have told WorldNetDaily. According to a host of reports from various European and Middle East military sources, all of whom requested anonymity for security reasons, European Command, or EUCOM, forces last week were placed on alert status "Bravo" -- with "Alpha" being the lowest and "Delta" being the highest -- "across the board," which included all U.S. forces stationed in the European theater -- Germany, Italy, Kosovo, Bosnia and elsewhere. Other sources said the alert status would be upgraded to "Charlie" -- the second highest level -- at "2400 hours European time, Jan. 20," the day President-elect George W. Bush is to be sworn into office, due to developments taking shape in the Middle East. Another source said the U.S. V Corps -- which includes the U.S. Army's 1st Armored Division and the 1st Infantry Division, plus supporting artillery, engineer, medical and supply units -- "are moving en masse to Grafenwoehr" -- a sprawling training center near Nuremberg -- and that Patriot missile batteries may be moved to Israel. A spokesman for the U.S. Army, Lt. Col. Dave LaPan, confirmed that EUCOM's alert status was upgraded to "Bravo" last week, noting that "they go up and down all the time." Another U.S. Army spokesman said he was "unaware of any pending change to the threat conditions in the United States European Command." While he said he had "no specific knowledge" of the troop movements, he added, "I can tell you that we frequently train at Grafenwoehr. ⦠It would not be at all unusual for [those units] to move there." When asked if the Pentagon planned such training exercises -- which typically cost millions of dollars -- well in advance, the spokesman said, "Yes, yes, way in advance." But, after some hesitation, he added, "As far as I know, there would be no relation between" the movement of those forces "and any raise or elevation of the threat condition." "I'm unaware of the things that you're talking about in advance," he said. When asked if WND could quote him as saying the particular exercise at Grafenwoehr had been planned in advance, he replied, "I wouldn't say that, because I don't know that there is an exercise going on." According to EUCOM, there is no record of a major January 2001 exercise involving the numbers of troops that comprise the U.S. Army's V Corps. But, sources told WND, the divisions reportedly being deployed to Grafenwoehr are "taking with them more than just enough stuff for a weekender. They're taking contamination outfits, protection gear, all of it -- lock, stock and barrel." Also, sources said, "the 69th Air Defense Brigade" -- a two battalion Patriot missile brigade -- "is going through the process of deploying overseas, meaning leaving Europe, and they're going to Israel." One source said U.S. Patriot batteries are already -- and routinely -- stationed in Israel and Kuwait. However, by deploying the 69th, "this means that those two battalions -- which are the umbrella of air defense protection for that army -- are being taken away from them, leaving them naked. That doesn't make a lot of military sense, but when you add up all the little pieces ⦠it seems that the European Command is saying, 'Once the 69th is deployed, this will send a signal to all terrorists ⦠that the U.S. is definitely taking sides in a fight [in the Middle East] that all sides now admit is a war.'" The same source also said British SAS special forces troops were preparing to deploy "to a desert climate" within three weeks. Meanwhile, a separate report said the U.S. military has ordered soldiers with families living in Israel to send them home, but both the Pentagon and the State Department denied that report. "At this juncture, we don't feel that that decision is merited," one State Department spokesman told WND. "Whenever something happens, we go through all the options ... and decide on the best course of action." The spokesman said the last time Washington issued an "authorized departure" for U.S. citizens to leave Israel "was in December 1998, the last time we conducted a sustained bombing of Iraq." The time before that was in 1991 during the Gulf War. However, the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for U.S. citizens in Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank Jan. 12, warning that the "U.S. Government has indications that
[CTRL] S. Korean developing longer-range missiles without U.S. approval
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! S. Korean developing longer-range missiles without U.S. approval SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Thursday, January 18, 2001 TOKYO â South Korea, refusing to wait for authorization from the Clinton administration, has launched a missile program meant to provide capability to strike targets in most of the communist north. The program, South Korean officials said, would be independent and remain off-limits to U.S. inspection. This, they said is a departure from Seoul's 50-year alliance with Washington, which currently includes the deployment of 37,000 troops in the East Asian country. Officials said Seoul has reached an agreement in principle with Washington on a ceiling for the range of the missiles. They said this was sufficient for a government decision to begin a program that will build missiles with a range of 300 kilometers and a warhead payload of 500 kilograms. They said this was the minimum required to counter North Korea's military threat. This new missile range and payload being developed is allowed by the 1987 Missile Technology Control Regime, an agreement Seoul has pledged to join. A 1979 agreement with Washington limits South Korean missiles to 180 kilometers. The Clinton administration did not respond to the South Korean decision. U.S. officials said talks with Seoul focused on a proposal by Washington to monitor South Korea's missile program. Seoul also asked Washington to provide technology for South Korea's missile program. It is not clear whether Seoul's independent missile program constitutes a decision to abandon efforts for U.S. aid. The Seoul-based Yonhap news agency reported that South Korea has decided against granting the United States automatic access to South Korean missile facilities. The agency said Seoul plans to focus on the development of liquid-fuel rockets to launch satellites, cruise missiles and unmanned air vehicles loaded with explosives. In a related development, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is reported to be on a secret visit to China. Jong-Il is said to have arrived in Beijing on Tuesday in his second known trip abroad in 18 years. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] Fox News Interview: Brit Hume Talks With George W. Bush
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Fox News Interview: Brit Hume Talks With George W. Bush Thursday, January 18, 2001 In an interview Friday with Fox News Channel's Brit Hume, incoming President George W. Bush stood firmly behind his Cabinet nominees under fire on Capitol Hill, and said to those who insist he hasn't the legitimacy to appoint strong-minded conservatives to his Cabinet, "Too bad." FOXNews President-elect Bush during his interview with Fox News. Commenting on the ongoing energy crisis in California, Bush said California will have to dig itself out of whatever hole it is in. Bush described the state's problem as a long-term issue that he will look into, but with the underlying premise that California has to fix the problem. "To the extent that the federal government can help California help itself, I will do so and my administration will do so," Bush said. "But California passed the law and to the extent that law needs to be corrected, California needs to correct it." On his Cabinet nominees, Bush said no one should be surprised that they share his philosophy on the major issues that will fall under their charge. He said he is not the least bit surprised about the attacks on Interior Department nominee Gale Norton by environmentalists and other liberal groups, particularly over her support for opening some federal lands like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil exploration and drilling. "I knew some of my nominees would come under fire," he said. "I came under fire. But when I campaigned for office, I said we need to have a reasonable exploration of policy on public lands in order to make us less dependent upon foreign sources of crude oil, for example." To critics that claim he does not have the right to appoint people like John Ashcroft to his Cabinet because he lacks a clear mandate, Bush said: "Too bad. I'm going to." Bush said he made his positions clear during the campaign and won an election against an opponent who "was basically an incumbent" with a strong economy and relatively peaceful globe in his sails. "I wish I could say it was my charming personality, or the ability to string a couple of sentences together" that won the election for him, Bush said. But "the truth of the matter is I'm sitting here because I took firm positions on important issues and didn't back off. "And I'm not backing off the minute I arrive in Washington," he added. "Quite the contrary â I'm going to take those issues I campaigned on and campaign hard for their enactment because I believe it's the right thing for the country." *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] The Dorian Gray Legacy
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! The Dorian Gray Legacy Diane Alden Jan. 18, 2001 What is wrong with this picture? Whatever "gravitas" Senators and Representatives Kennedy, Boxer, Durbin, Franks, et al. ever had, they have blown. They have been Clintonized, which is something like Martinizing, I suppose, in that it protects them from anything approaching common sense and decency. Their attacks on their former colleague are not only unprofessional, they are also ludicrous. Democratic Ashcroft-bashers know their Senate colleague to be a good and decent man, certainly not a racist, a fair man, discerning and thoughtful, a person who holds beliefs which (God forbid) are Christian. The hearings, however, serve another purpose â they do show us a picture of America that is frightening. According to the left, John Ashcroft's sins include the fact that he is not pro-abortion, he believes in the Second Amendment to the Constitution, he actually upholds the spirit as well as the letter of the law in the various offices to which he has been elected. His actions as governor and senator have shown that he has integrity. Many of his former associates have said so. However, members of the left â and it goes without saying that includes the media, as well as the above-named politicians â have created a devil straw man in John Ashcroft and call it reality. Ashcroft once made a judgment call on a judicial appointment who happened to be black. So what? Everyone has made judgment calls, and unless the person is a blithering idiot or a fool, such calls are usually based on reasons that have nothing to do with being racist but have everything to do with common sense and prudence. For instance, you don't drive through a riot in urban areas with black populations if you are white. You don't walk in the projects in Atlanta at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night unless you have a death wish. You don't go to a white fundamentalist church that expects you to handle poisonous snakes because they take a passage from the bible literally. None of this is racist; it is simply making personal judgment calls based on what can and has happened to those who choose to do foolish and thoughtless things. The judicial appointee that John Ashcroft judged as not cut out to serve on a federal court made a judicial decision that Senator Ashcroft thought defied common sense. Ashcroft's reasons for not voting for the appointment were similar to what other responsible individuals, both black and white, had given for not wanting to appoint that same man to the bench. For the left to extrapolate Ashcroft's call as a sign of racism indicates just how crazy and foolish and pathetic they have become. However, what was personally sad for me was to watch the hearings as Senator Kennedy stumbled and mumbled and made himself look like a total fool. His attack on Ashcroft was indecipherable, like listening to an old drunk at a bar babble about some event that makes no sense whatsoever. Kennedy had no reasoned defense of his attacks on Ashcroft. It was a pleasure to see Senator Kyl of Arizona stand up to him. It was also personally sad for me to remember Kennedy's dignified and eloquent words, looks and demeanor at the funerals of his two brothers. There is none of that about him now. Supposedly a Roman Catholic, Kennedy bashing John Ashcroft for his beliefs as a Christian is almost impossible to comprehend. Since the senators, Democrats especially, are making judgments on John Ashcroft's philosophy and beliefs as a Christian, perhaps it would be wise to make a few about Democrats and what they believe as well. After watching some of them attack him, it was apparent that many of those attacks have nothing to do with ferreting out the truth about what Ashcroft believes or how he would uphold the law. It does indicate, however, that Democrats believe Christians who hold orthodox beliefs cannot hold public office. That means that nearly 50 percent of the people of the United States are disenfranchised. That means that only those who believe that the transference of wealth from producers to takers are acceptable for elective office. That means that only those who consider the Bill of Rights as a negotiable set of principles are allowed in the big club. That means that you can lie, cheat, steal, rape, think unrestricted abortion is the new sacrament of the P.C. religion, use various government agencies to punish opponents, confiscate millions of acres of various states, burn churches and small children, as in Waco, send an innocent 6-year-old back to a ruthless communist dictatorship, sell national security secrets to the highest bidder, allow millions of acres of public forests to burn, take over 50 percent of people's incomes in taxes, fees and hidden charges, create division by demanding multiculturalism, keep educational policies that produce illiterates, not say a word when one of your
[CTRL] Kremlin Reacts to Bush Policies, Shelves Military Cuts
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Kremlin Reacts to Bush Policies, Shelves Military Cuts NewsMax.com Thursday, Jan. 18, 2001 The chill winds of the Cold War are beginning to blow once more. The Kremlin has abandoned its plans to drastically pare back and modernize Russiaâs armed forces, and experts say the action is partly due to the new Bush administration's determination to go ahead with development of a national missile defense (NMD) system. A reduction of Russiaâs armed forces ordered in November by President Vladimir Putin was aimed at slashing the 1.2-million-strong military by 360,000 over the next five years. That plan, which emphasized Russiaâs conventional forces and degraded its nuclear missile forces and was due to begin next month, has now been put on hold until at least March. Moreover, there are signs that the NMD controversy has strengthened the hands of those in favor of beefing up Russiaâs nuclear missile strike force. "The main reason for the delay is the first steps of the new U.S. leadership," the respected military analyst Viktor Litovkin told Britainâs Guardian newspaper. While itâs too early to tell if Presidents Bush and Putin will be able to deal with each other amicably after the new administration settles in, the atmosphere between Moscow and Washington has drastically chilled. In recent weeks there have been signs that the new administration polices toward Moscow will be decidedly less cordial on such issues as national security, economics and arms control than they were under the Clinton-Gore administration, which turned a blind eye to Russiaâs growing belligerence under Putin. Washington, for example, has charged that, in violation of long-standing agreements, the Kremlin has secretly deployed battlefield nuclear weapons in Kaliningrad, its main naval base, which is located in an enclave that borders on Poland, a NATO member. As NewsMax.com reported last week, Putin denied the deployment, calling it "total rubbish," but U.S. intelligence sources insist the deployment has taken place. Washington has also expressed displeasure with Russiaâs determination to boost arms sales to Iran. On the other side, last week Moscow said the United States was violating the Start-I nuclear arms reduction agreement with its plans to go ahead with the NMD system Adding fuel to a rapidly heating fire, Bush said last weekend that his administration would slash U.S. financial assistance to cash-strapped Russia. In response, Alexander Zhukhov, the chairman of the Russian parliament's budget committee, snapped, "Russia does not need large loans from foreign countries at the moment." Commenting on the situation between Washington and Moscow, Yuri Gladkevich, a military observer at Moscow's independent Military News Agency, told the Guardian, "There are signs of a worsening in relations, and it looks as though things will get a lot worse yet." Aggravating the problem is Moscowâs belief that some of the people Bush has picked for his Cabinet are leftover hawks from the Cold War era, specifically Vice President-elect Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary-designate Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State-designate Colin Powell and national security adviser Condoleeza Rice. "These are people who see themselves as the victors of the Cold War," Alexander Golts, military commentator for the news magazine Itogi, told the Guardian. "The Kremlin and the generals are flattered by that, because it reminds them of the days of the U.S.S.R. when they were a great power. But the new American administration is making a very strong and negative impact on our military." In reaction to what the Kremlin views as the new administrationâs anti-Russian views, Moscow sent three warships on patrol in the Pacific on Monday, its most ambitious naval display since the Soviet Union collapsed a decade ago. The Bush administrationâs determination to push NMD has caused Putin to rethink his decision to downplay Russiaâs strategic missile force in favor of beefing up the Kremlinâs conventional forces, a move vigorously opposed by defense minister Igor Sergeyev, an avid supporter of the nuclear strike force and equally vigorously supported by the chief of the general staff, Anatoly Kvashnin. "Sergeyev wants to maintain the strategic missile forces as a political-military instrument, as the main lever for pressure on the U.S. and NATO," Gladkevich said. "The new U.S. administration means Putin won't weaken the strategic missile forces to the degree that Kvashnin wants." The Guardian reported that the Kremlin over the past year has repeatedly stated that it wants major arms cuts, including reducing its stockpile of nuclear warheads to 1,500. But Alexei Arbatov, an influential moderate on the parliamentary defense committee, now argues that Russia needs 4,500 nuclear warheads to maintain parity with the U.S. "The Kremlin sees NMD as a threat to
[CTRL] The world of Reagan
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! January 11, 2001 The world of Reagan Arnold Beichman On Feb. 6, Ronald Reagan will get a wonderful 90th birthday present. Tragically he will be unable to appreciate it because he is in the final stages of Alzheimer's. The birthday gift is a book titled, "Reagan, In His Own Hand" and is being published by one of the biggest publishing houses in the United States in a first edition of 100,000. The book is a collection of the originals of radio commentaries and newspaper columns on major issues â labor policy, the future of Asia and Africa, communist imperialism, arms limitation â composed in Mr. Reagan's own handwriting (including his misspellings â the occasional "i'ts" for "it's" and again "it's" for "its") long before he became, in 1980, the 40th president of the United States. These several thousand pages, uncatalogued until a few months ago at the Reagan presidential library in Simi Valley, California, reveal a Reagan far different from the idiot savant phantasm still current among American liberal intellectuals. Hendrik Hertzberg, formerly a speech writer for President Jimmy Carter and now a senior editor at the New Yorker, called Mr. Reagan just that â an "idiot savant" in a 10-page essay in the New Republic Sept. 9, 1991. For documentation he used Lou Cannon's biography, "President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime" â which quotes Clark Clifford as describing the president as "an amiable dunce" at a fashionable Georgetown party. Mr. Cannon's source is the Wall Street Journal, Oct. 8, 1981. One of Mr. Reagan's biographers titled a chapter, "The Amiable Dunce." This deceptive image was of course the creation of American liberalism â mainstream intellectuals, academics and historians, journalists, TV anchors, magazine editors who are mostly left-liberal Democrats. Strangely enough this image received a good deal of its putative documentation from the treacherous memoirs of Mr. Reagan's staff and even some Cabinet members, with notable exceptions: Secretary of State George Shultz who has written the introduction to the new Reagan book and Attorney General Edwin Meese III. Robert C. McFarlane, Mr. Reagan's national security adviser, has been quoted as saying in a tone of bewilderment: "Why is Ronald Reagan so successful? He knows so little and accomplishes so much?" It turns out, as "Reagan, In His Own Hand" clearly shows, that Mr. Reagan knew a lot more than he let on. Martin Anderson, the economist who worked for Mr. Reagan as domestic policy adviser, described in "Revolution," his still unrivaled history of the Reagan administration, this liberal fiction: "Since 1986 a torrent of books and articles on his presidency has painted a portrait of a dumb but likable man, a man who either deliberately abdicated his responsibility to make major decisions or worse simply didn't know what was going on most of the time." It rarely occurred to these opinion makers to inquire as to how this bumbler managed to get elected and re-elected governor of California, managed decisively to oust an incumbent president, Jimmy Carter, in 1980, an event which was followed by a second-term landslide victory. Mr. Reagan's re-election in 1984 allowed him to initiate a foreign policy which allowed him to preside over the beginning of the bloodless end of the Soviet empire and the Cold War. And when he left office he was accorded in public opinion polls one of the highest popularity ratings of any president in modern times. What was not fully realized at the time was that he was one of the best-prepared candidates for the presidency. Twice governor of California (1966-1974) and a widely acclaimed public speaker, he had done an enormous amount of reading and writing about domestic and foreign policy issues. At the Reagan Library, dozens and dozens of once sealed cartons have been found holding several thousand pages in Mr. Reagan's own very legible handwriting, with the original editing. A young professor, Kiron K. Skinner, of Carnegie Mellon University who was writing a book on Mr. Reagan's foreign policy was given access by the Reagan library to these cartons and it was then she made her breathtaking discovery. She took copies of the pages to Martin and Annelise Anderson, both Hoover fellows, who with Ms. Skinner realized their value as history and became the editors. It is these writings which should compel the most rabid anti-Reagan historians to rethink their failed scholarship. In doing so, they might recall the words of Leopold von Ranke, the great 19th-century German historian, who said it was the historian's duty to tell us wie es eigentlich gewesen ist "what really happened." In the case of Mr. Reagan these historians have clearly failed in their duty. George Shultz in his introduction says that the book is important because it "provides a key to
