Well, LOL, Bill, you are very funny with this claim!
Jesse's suits cannot be touched at $400 but are more in the
$1-2,000 range and those tailor-made white shirts that are
so attractive are about $100 apiece and the constant limo
service--just hiding it from the press must cost a fortune.
I'd guess he gets his money from extortion of sorts--from
blacks for validating their victim cards and from whites for
threatening to riot or outright blackmail.  As in the case
of Ron brown--Jesse was demanding a "full investigation"
then he started to back-peddle.  A deal is struck and viola!
It would be WRONG to investigate the death further. etc.  He
constantly threatens businesses with discrimination suits,
marches, boycotts, etc. until sub rosa deals are made and
the company decides to "reform" and hire more minorities
(and Jesse is paid under the table).  I hope this serves as
a wake-up call for those this man has duped for years.  At
least the monetary amounts admitted as being paid to the
mistress should give some pause (except poor Bill who truly
believes).

In the 1950-70 era, there was communist money poured into
both sides of the Civil Rights movement.  No, save time--I
do not have an Internet URL for that.  It is my opinion
based on what I was told from a number of sources at the
time.  They neglected to form web pages with URL's for those
whose world consist of only such.  Anyway, if it were not
the consensus that the old Soviet commies are broke I would
wonder if they are at it again as David Duke has been in
Moscow since November (unless he has returned very
recently--he does not keep me advised of his schedule)
supposedly promoting that wretched book of his that only
sold 5,000 copies total in the U.S.
Now why would Ruskies be interested in such when nobody here
was.  I have 5,000 relatives who would buy a book so it was
a dismal failure.  But could they be courting both sides
once again?  I do not know.

So how much is it worth for Jesse to shut up about Ron Brown
and who pays things like that?  I guess people with
something to hide and also businesses who do not want to be
labeled as racists when they are not and put out of
business.  He is after all operating out of Chicago which
explains why Bill defends all this as "speaking engagements"
and nobody else who works for CNN dresses like that and has
limo service.  Who was that young reporter killed driving
home a year or so ago--no limo for him and he was much
bigger on CNN than Jesse.  Charles somebody.  It is awful to
get old and forgetful.

The fact that Jesse is tax-exempt makes this sort of
information of interest to the public.  And while we are on
the subject, can anybody tell me when and where MLK earned a
doctorate degree?  Jesse survived the fraud of smearing
blood, probably his own, on his shirt and pretending he held
MLK as he lay dying when he did no such thing.  He WAS there
and that was it.  Maybe we were all too kind to have chalked
this up to youthful indiscretion and should have watched
Jesse a little more closely throughout the years.

http://www.alivewired.com/2001/20010118/feature.html

How George W. Bush stole the White House from America's voters

by Harvey Wasserman
1/18/01

It's official. The Banana Republicans now occupy the White House.
In direct, and predictable, contradiction to his campaign rhetoric of
accommodation and compromise, George "Shrub" Bush begins his illegitimate
regime like countless other coup figureheads, with cynicism and an iron hand.
How firmly will the forces of democracy oppose him? Remember that Bush was
allowed to take power precisely because the "New Democrats" lack the
strength or character to stand up to the hard right. Predictably, their
performance at the dawn of the Shrub years is already discouraging. Indeed,
if the nation and its natural environment are to survive at all, clear and
powerful resistance must come from where it always comes, the grassroots,
but with far more conviction than we've seen in many a decade.
The clearest sign of the Bush hard line comes with his chief law
enforcement officer.  Attorney General nominee John Ashcroft is a carbon
copy of countless martial strongmen installed in Third World countries by
the father of the new president and the national security apparatus Bush
Sr. once ran. The former Missouri Senator (who was beaten for re-election
by a dead man) is the creation of the corporations and fundamentalist
church groups that paid for his losing campaign, and for that of his new boss.
Ashcroft is pro-corporation (especially tobacco), pro-gun, pro-military,
pro-death penalty, pro-welfare for religious schools, and an ardent fan of
the Confederacy. He is anti-black, anti-choice, anti-feminist, anti-gay,
anti-speech, anti-poor, anti-green and anti-labor.
In short, he's a poster child for the Bush junta, a humorless gray cabal of
old economy types whose primary agenda will be to further the Reaganite
redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich while raping the natural
planet along the way. They'll add billions in church and corporate welfare.
In the name of "liberty," they'll erase as many individual rights and
freedoms as their dominance of a bought Supreme Court can facilitate.
Star wars is only the most visible of the massive military and other scams
this militant right-wing crew intends to foist on the public in the coming
years, to the benefit of their corporate and fundamentalist sponsors. We
can also expect an escalated drug war, new jungle bloodshed in Central
America, heightened tensions with China and Russia, and a relentless
assault on the natural environment and basic freedoms of speech and the
press. All are sure to come.
The regime has been pre-bought by more than $350 million in contributions
made to the Bush campaign in a larger national "election" that cost some $3
billion, much of that paid to electronic media, whose opposition to
campaign finance reform is thus guaranteed.
Alongside Ashcroft is Gale Norton as Bush's Secretary of Interior nominee.
A fanatic "property rights" cultist, Norton says the public can't impose
environmental or other restrictions on private property owners. Thus she
opposes the Clean Air and Water Acts, the National Parks system and all
other communal attempts to preserve the natural environment and other life
support systems essential to our collective survival.
Norton's ideology got new swagger last week from the U.S. Supreme Court,
which used a "states' rights" argument to vastly weaken the Clean Water Act
in a case involving a landfill in northern Illinois. By the usual 5-4
margin, the right-wing majority said the federal government could not
overrule the states to save a body of water, even though that natural
entity is part of a larger national eco-system. For pure hypocrisy, the
Supreme Court ruling is hard to top. It's a reminder of who, exactly, is
taking control of the White House, and how.
  The Y2K electoral theft
History will recall that in the election of 2000, George W. Bush lost the
nationwide popular vote to Al Gore by some 539,947 votes, plus the
uncounted thousands in Florida. Not to mention another 2.6 million votes
that went to Green Party candidate Ralph Nader.
History will note that, in a dozen different ways, Bush almost certainly
lost the popular vote in Florida. Had Bush's brother not been governor
there, Gore would have won the state's electoral votes and the electoral
college. Had Bush's cousin not been perched at Fox News, and was the first
network election chief to call the state for Shrub, the other TV networks
might not have followed suit and instead covered the race properly on
election night.
History will further note that with its fraternal Republican Governor and a
Republican Secretary of State that was Bush's campaign chair, the state of
Florida waged a systematic and effective campaign to disenfranchise blacks
and Jews who were known to be supporting Gore by margins of four-, five-
and even nine-to-one.
Black citizens were removed from the

  Are there those on the list who think of Skolnick's info as generally

years ago that by a certain date, Clinton would completely dismantle the
Social Security system.  I waited until that date to see if the prediction
came true and it didn't.  I never paid much attention to him after that.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Skolnick makes dire predictions

"So-called" draft dodging? So Clinton really served in

supporting the U. S. Armed Forces.  One is a business deal
and the other a support of the national military

While that may be deemed a business of sorts, the two have

 Reflections on the Clinton Presidency: The Arms Trade
 Rachel Stohl, Senior Analyst, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 During the 1992 presidential campaign, then-Governor Bill
Clinton faced
 criticism for his lack of military service and so-called
"draft-dodging"
 during the Vietnam War.  At the time Clinton pledged his
commitment to a
 strong military and support for the defense industry.
Nine years later,
 Clinton has done more than prove he was no "dove" and has
severely
 overcompensated for his lack of military experience.  In
fact, the Clinton
 administration became patrons of the defense
establishment.  Nowhere is
 this more apparent than on conventional arms trade issues.

Now it looks as if hunters will not be needing

[EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: US Admits To Mad Sheep, Deer, And Elk But Claims 
Nary A Case Of Mad Cow...US Admits To Mad Sheep, Deer, And Elk But 
Claims Nary A Case Of Mad Cow...By Lucrezia Cuen 1-17-01www.abcnews.comLONDON - 
The United States already has mad sheep, mad deer, and mad elk, but the 
government has issued assurances there is no mad cow disease, not yet. 
 However, the spread of mad cow disease across Europe is already 
having a damaging effect on the U.S. blood supply and the worst may be yet 
to come.  Three flocks of "mad sheep" were diagnosed in Vermont 
six months ago. A fatal "mad deer" disease is occurring at epidemic levels 
in deer and elk across the Western states. Both of these diseases are 
closely related to mad cow disease, or BSE (bovine spongiform 
encephalopathy) a chronic wasting disease spreading across Europe and linked 
to a deadly human variation called CJD.  The U.S. government has 
banned beef from BSE-infected countries, ordered vaccines from infected 
countries replaced and has placed bans on certain blood donations. 
 Efforts to protect America's blood supply from mad cow 
contamination by donors who may have eaten contaminated beef have already 
reduced the blood supply by 2.2 percent, the Red Cross reports. That 
translates to approximately 300,000 units or pints of blood, which is more 
than 120,000 transfusions.  New proposals could raise that 
percentage exponentially.  Blood Ban  Two years ago, 
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered a ban on British blood in an 
effort to protect against BSE, CJD and another human counterpart, vCJD 
(variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease).  Anyone who has lived in the 
United Kingdom or Ireland for more than six months between January 1980 and 
December 1996 is prohibited for life from donating blood.  The 
six-month benchmark was chosen when studies showed banning everyone who 
visited Britain during that period would devastate the American blood 
supply.  Expanding the Ban Now, with reports of BSE and vCJD 
spreading to Germany, France and beyond, the bans on blood donations may be 
extended to include people who have spent time in other European countries. 
 "Our bottom line is safety," says an FDA spokeswoman who asked 
not to be identified. "These are precautionary measures. The FDA will review 
residence of blood donors in France, and other BSE countries including 
Germany. We are concerned both about blood safety and maintaining an 
adequate supply of blood products."  This means if you've 
traveled or studied in Europe or if you are a member of the military 
stationed in Europe, your blood may be suspect.  U.S. Navy Lt. 
Cmdr. Dave Lee is one of hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel 
and their families already banned from donating blood.  "I feel 
disappointed that I can no longer help anybody," says Lee, whose type 
O-negative blood once made him a universal donor. "But I'm also relieved the 
powers that be are taking measures to protect the blood supply."  
In recent weeks Germany has confirmed its first cases of BSE. New cases have 
been reported in France and the Netherlands. The disease has also been found 
in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Spain and 
Switzerland.  Risk for Hunters  In addition to 
travelers and military personnel the FDA is also considering banning blood 
from tens of thousand of hunters, including those who took part in the fall 
2000 hunting season.  Mad deer disease, also called chronic 
wasting disease or CWD, has hit a full 15 percent of free-ranging deer and 
elk in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming.  Three 
young hunters exposed to mad deer disease died in the past three years of 
CJD. Although medical experts from the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention found no evidence of a link, CDC epidemiologist Dr. Ermias Belay 
says, "This does not totally exonerate CWD from being a human pathogen." 
 Cruel and Miserable Death  The government concerns 
about BSE and CJD are well founded. The new variant CJD has no cure and no 
reliable test. People can be suspected of carrying the disease, but 
diagnosis is only confirmed in post mortem examinations of the brain. 
 Although leading scientists believe it is carried in the blood, 
currently there is no blood test that will expose it.  The 
wasting disease attacks the brain, slowly eating it away. Early

I listened while doing other work to the Ashcroft hearings
and found them very sad, also.  Judge White said he did not
think Ashcroft's decision concerning him was racist.  I will
go on record as saying I think, based on what has come out
at these hearings, that Ashcroft made the right decision
concerning this man.  White stated that Johnson should "be
set free and given a second chance" after killing four
people in cold blood, of which two were deputy sheriffs and
a sheriff's wife (when he could not find the sheriff and in
the presence of their eight year old daughter).  If this man
had "inadequate" counsel because they did not get him off on
these killings, that does not mean it is "unfair" as lawyers
are supposed to first seek justice and then the interest of
their clients.  I do not think a judge that ruled this way
is fit to serve at the federal level, either.

Nothing I saw made Ahscroft look nearly as bad as his
accusers looked with their PC agenda.  They DID have the
look of debauchery about them as does so much of the
outgoing administration, that taint and whiff of corruption.
So beware of Reno driving a red pick up truck across 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 - and it goes without saying
that includes the
 media, as well as the above-named politicians - 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

Deutch May Plead Guilty to Misdemeanor, Avoid Prison Time

By David A.  Vise and Vernon Loeb
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, January 19, 2001 ; Page A08

Former CIA director John M.  Deutch is negotiating with the
Justice Department over the possibility that he might plead
guilty to a misdemeanor for keeping classified information on his
home computers, sources familiar with the talks said yesterday.

Attorney General Janet Reno had wanted to resolve the
high-profile case before she left office yesterday, but her
interim successor, Eric H. Holder Jr., has assumed responsibility
for overseeing its resolution, the sources said.

Although Deutch has been reluctant to agree to plead guilty, a
one-count misdemeanor plea would enable him to avoid prison time
and eliminate the threat of a criminal indictment on felony
charges.

Uncertainty over former senator John D.  Ashcroft's nomination as
attorney general has increased pressure on Deutch to cut a deal,
because it is not clear whether a new attorney general would
decide to prosecute him on more serious felony charges for
mishandling classified information, the sources said.

Deutch's lawyer, Terrence O'Donnell of Williams  Connolly, did
not return phone calls seeking comment last night.

The Justice Department initially declined to prosecute Deutch in
April 1999 after CIA security officials discovered he had written
and stored hundreds of highly classified intelligence reports on
unsecure home computers linked to the Internet.  Deutch's conduct
-- for which he later publicly apologized -- was discovered as he
was leaving the CIA in December 1996 after a year and a half in
office.

Reno asked prosecutor Paul E.  Coffey to take a second look at
the case after a leaked CIA inspector general's report ignited
controversy on Capitol Hill early last year.  Coffey later
concluded that criminal charges should be filed against Deutch,
who returned to his professor's post at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.

At the time Coffey began his review, Justice Department officials
said they were worried about the appearance of a "double
standard" after filing a massive, 59-count felony indictment
against former Los Alamos physicist Wen Ho Lee for downloading
classified nuclear weapons data.

Authorities initially identified Lee as an espionage suspect and
held him in pretrial solitary confinement for nine months.  But
the Taiwanese-born scientist ultimately pleaded guilty in
September to a single felony count of mishandling classified
information.

Provisions of the espionage act make the willful mishandling of
classified defense information a felony punishable by up to 10
years in prison.  Taking classified information home without
authorization is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in
prison.

Los Alamos Lab Employees Won't Be Indicted in Security Lapse

By Walter Pincus
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 19, 2001 ; Page A09

After a seven-month FBI investigation, the government has decided
not to file any criminal charges against employees at Los Alamos
National Laboratory in connection with the temporary
disappearance of two computer hard drives containing nuclear
weapons secrets, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said yesterday.

The hard drives, each about the size of a pack of cigarettes,
went missing for several weeks last spring from a vault at the
weapons lab in New Mexico.  Although they later were found behind
a photocopier inside the lab, their temporary loss added to a
political furor over security lapses.

Richardson and other senior officials have argued in recent
months, however, that the crackdown on security -- including
orders to give polygraph exams to thousands of scientists -- was
in danger of going too far and harming the ability of employees
to do their jobs. The end of the FBI investigation is a major
step toward normalcy at Los Alamos.

Similarly, Richardson yesterday extended the Energy Department's
contract with the University of California to operate the Los
Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories for three
years beyond the previous contract's ending date of Sept.  30,
2002.

Some members of Congress had criticized the university for
failing to enforce security rules and had urged the Energy
Department to put the contract up for competitive bidding.  The
university has run Los Alamos for more than 50 years, ever since
the Manhattan Project led to the original atomic bomb.

"We're better off with a much improved University of California
contract than with a defense contractor running the labs,"
Richardson argued yesterday in a telephone interview from Los
Angeles.  "We have put in new strong safeguards that give the
energy secretary the right to take direct disciplinary actions
where needed, and if it were not the university running the
place, we would have a huge flight of scientists from there."

The hard drives, which were reported missing from Los Alamos on
May 31, contain information that a rapid-response team could use
to disarm a nuclear weapon in the event of an accident or
terrorist threat.

Investigators have long suspected that one or more lab employees
misplaced the drives and then, instead of admitting a mistake,
placed them behind the photocopier.

At least four Los Alamos employees were subjects of the
investigation, primarily because the FBI suspected they had told
inaccurate stories or because they showed deception on polygraph
tests and refused to testify before a grand jury, according to
government sources.

Ultimately, however, the FBI "was unable to determine
responsibility for the disappearance .  .  .  and found no
evidence that the classified information contained on the hard
drives had been compromised," the Energy Department said in a
statement.

[CTRL] WSJ: Farewell

2001-01-19 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

-Caveat Lector-

Wall Street Journal
Friday, January 19, 2001


Farewell

Bill Clinton's last speech?  We can only hope.


The question going into Bill Clinton's farewell speech last night
was this: Is this the last speech of the Clinton presidency, or
the first speech of the new Clinton era?  It was very much the
latter, which is why he never said the word "goodbye" or
"farewell."

There was a time--it lasted more than 200 years--when American
presidents came from America, journeyed to Washington to serve
and then, when they were done, followed the tradition of George
Washington and went back home to America, where they lived out
the rest of their lives.

The tradition underscored the ideal of citizens who left a good
life to serve their country at considerable cost, and who then,
work done, returned to normal life and the higher title of
citizen.

In modern times Harry Truman did this, and Dwight Eisenhower, and
Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon, and Jimmy Carter, who went
back to the peanut business, and Ronald Reagan, who retired to
California.  George Bush returned to Houston.  But Bill Clinton
will never leave, and he made this clear when he said, “My days
in this office are nearly through, but my days of service, I
hope, are not.”.  He has never been much interested in
traditions, or their meaning.



As a speech it was not terrible.  He looked, finally, comfortable
in the Oval Office, as if he thought he belonged there.  In
outlining his economic triumphs he congratulated the American
people--"you have risen to every new challenge"--in the same tone
with which on your bad days you congratulate your child for doing
well at school or sports.  He said that he had taken the steps
and given the leadership that ignited the American economy, but
he noted that “I’ve tried to give all Americans the tools and
conditions to build the future.”

He claimed to have created “a new kind of government: smaller .
.  . more effective.” He said, “Our schools are better.” And so a
presidency that began essentially with lies ends essentially with
lies.  There is a lovely egg-like completeness and perfection to
this.

The speech was mostly a legacy speech, similar to the dozen or so
goodbye speeches and interviews with which Mr.  Clinton has been
filling his last months in office.  (Ronald Reagan gave only one
farewell interview and one farewell address, and that in
December, so as not to intrude on the new president's inaugural.
But he was old fashioned--and a gentleman.)

Once again, last night, Mr.  Clinton argued the case for his
greatness--the economy up, a world at peace, Americans never so
happy. He refrained, however, from saying, as he has in speeches
in the past week, that it is possible some other president will
come along some day and be as good as he, nor did he note that
the wonderful things he has done he learned first in Arkansas.

He said he wanted to leave the American people with three
thoughts.  The first was that we must stay the course on fiscal
restraint.  By this he meant: Don't pass Bush's tax cut.

His second point, and a long one it was, was that global poverty
"requires more than compassion." I think a deconstruction of this
thought is: It requires programs, i.e., liberal programs.  In
other words: When Osama bin Laden and his henchmen blow up an
American city, it won't be my fault, it will be President Bush's.

His third thought was that America is a nation of many ethnic and
racial groups, and we must continue to honor this fact and help
those in need. We need programs for this, he suggested.
"Compassion isn't enough," he said, in the speech's clearest shot
at Mr.  Bush.  What he was really saying was: That compassionate
conservative guy is a big phony.



That the speech was lacking in grace or largeness goes without
saying, that it offered seemingly wise and even avuncular words
with a subtext of political aggression and competitiveness was in
its way perfect. That is what Mr.  Clinton's career has been,
aggression offered as sympathy.

I watched the speech with a gathering of Democratic and
Republican speechwriters, veterans of the craft who approach
presidential speeches with a mixture of sophistication and
sympathy.  It was a sparkling group, and I always feel honored to
be among them, for history walks the room when they are there.
Their reviews of the speech:

From a Democrat: "Listening to Bill Clinton is like eating cotton
candy.  it's sweet going down but it's only air."

From another Democrat: "He didn't say, 'So long'; he said, 'I'll
see you Monday.' "

The Republicans were similarly negative.

There is a great cliché in America, among conservatives, that the
American elite like Mr.  Clinton, while the good common people
are more likely to deplore him.  But in my experience, no one has
contempt for Mr.  Clinton like sophisticated Americans,
particularly sophisticated and accomplished liberals.  I think it
is to some degree snobbery--they do see him now as a low-rent oaf

National security roulette

Kenneth R.  Timmerman
The Washington Times

Among the many last-minute regulations, rules and executive
orders of the outgoing administration is a Commerce Department
bid that lifts export controls on military grade computers,
virtually guaranteeing that the United States will face dangerous
new threats in the coming years that our defense planners are
ill-prepared to meet.

The new regulations, announced amid yawns by the White House on
Jan. 10, allow a handful of U.S.  companies to export
super-computers more powerful than those used in most Defense
Department weapons labs to Russia, China and other nations that
do not have the best interests of the United States at heart.

This is the sixth time the Clinton-Gore anti-defense team has
raised the limits on exports of high-performance computers (HPCs)
to please a handful of computer manufacturers and their cronies
who have contributed millions of dollars to the Democratic
National Committee.  As a result of these earlier steps, the
White House now concludes — gee whiz — that there are "no
meaningful or effective control measures" any more.

Why should Americans care?  Isn't my desktop PC far more powerful
today than it was in 1993?

Unfortunately for that argument, the export of a handful of
high-performance computers has little to do with the price or
power of desktop PCs.  In fact, HPCs are designed for very
different tasks and do not use the same architecture as consumer
PCs.  At the very low end, these machines are 80 times more
powerful than current desktops.  At the high end, they are
several thousand times more powerful and are custom-built for
specific applications.

A 200,000 MTOPS (million theoretical operations per second)
machine, which can now be exported to Russia under the new
on-Gore rules, bears as much resemblance to a desktop PC as that
PC resembles an abacus. Top-grade desktops run at around 1,000
MTOPS.

Countries such as China, North Korea, Iran and Iraq use HPCs to
build more accurate ballistic missiles and test new nuclear
warhead designs using computer simulations instead of actual
tests, thus blind-siding our intelligence community. We will have
no way of knowing what's going on in the weapons programs of
these countries until they use their new weapons on the
battlefield against us and our friends.

In the Jan.  10 fact sheet, the White House admits that "the
administration would prefer to remove most controls on computer
hardware exports, including the existing controls on exports to
Tier 3 countries," a group that includes India, Pakistan, China,
Russia and most of the Middle East. Instead, they grudgingly
require that exporters seek a license for sales of HPCs above
85,000 MTOPS, way above the level needed for most forms of
ballistic missile simulation and nuclear weapons design work.

But there is good news.  The truly bad players — Iran, Iraq,
Libya, North Korea, Cuba, Sudan and Syria — will not be able to
buy American supercomputers, not ever-ever-ever.  "The United
States will maintain a virtual embargo on computer hardware and
technology exports to these destinations," the fact sheet states.

Of course, since the administration has now lifted all
restrictions on supercomputer sales to most of Europe, Africa and
Central and South America, the bad guys can simply buy through
third parties.  In case you doubt that our "friends" would be so
unfaithful, ask the Sun Microsystems dealer in Tehran to buy you
a new supercomputer for your nuclear weapons lab in Isfahan.
He'll complain that the U.S. restrictions have made life so
difficult that it could take up to a month to get delivery.

Meanwhile, both Russia and China recently announced that they
were upgrading "scientific and technology" exchanges with Iran,
and would be signing a political treaty later this year to cement
their budding strategic alliance.

President Clinton's midnight regulations pose a clear and present
danger to America's national security.  They should be rescinded
immediately by the new administration and replaced with a
common-sense approach that allows businesses to expand overseas
markets but places national security first.

First, the new administration should facilitate instant export
reporting by generalizing an electronic form of the shipper's
export declaration that all exporters are currently required to
file with Customs.  This was a reform I initially proposed in
1993 that has been implemented only gradually by the current
administration.  This information should be broadly disseminated
within the intelligence community and coded in ways to make
potentially troublesome exports stand out instantly from the mass
of innocuous transactions carried out each day.

Next, the new administration needs to conduct a thorough review
of the existing export-licensing system, and consider replacing
it with a more flexible and discretionary system driven by the
actual threats to our national

When I was young I put together a Ph.D for aF man who was a Professor at
Patterson State Teachers .now when he asked me if I would type it up
for him, little did I know what he wanted.

He had read my manuscript, was over 40, and just could not sit down long
enough to do anything...so late one night he was at my door, and I
expected to be typing in a sense, a manuscript.

No his dissertation was on Thermal Nuclear Pollution which involved
everything from fish kills to - well the usual routine, and it was then
I discovered all these books, I was to pick out information and put it
all in a story form for him.bibliographies and all..

Now of all the stuff I put into type for him, on my own - I said you
mean to get a Ph.D you use other peoples work - but I did not say
anything more and he did not answer.

So, I put all that crap together for him, but this was 1969 and I
remember it was summer; and in his one book there was mention however
something of which I was well informed - it mentioned pesticides in
streams also causing fish kills, etc.and I, on my own put one
original line, in that piece of professional plagiarism.I wrote
"pesticides have also been known to kill people",.

Now I handed him a piece of work that was perfection, for at the time I
was  good and fast typist - and that seemed to be his problem - he was
so scatter brained he could not sit down long enough, to do
anything.and boy later this turned out to be profitable business for
he had read my manuscript and it gave him the idea to get me to do his
work for him.

Well, later I said "hey, how was my work'.for they were laughing
about something I had done.

He said "where the hell did you get that line pestacides also have been
known to kill people".I said, well it seemed to fit in with what I
thought - for I had done research into this and I knew of an old man on
a hot day, who was our Clerk Treasurer, who was spraying pesticides in
his garden and he dropped dead - plus I mentioned the airplane glue
where I had also raised holy hell, and my reporter friend and I both
received threats re this - for they were going to sue us.Testor
Corp, etc.no longer used banana oil used Toluene - used also in dry
leaning - and it also caused cataracts if used with steam heat I
discovered.

Nobody gives a damn, but of all the work I had put in putting this thing
together, the only comment made by the professor was 'where did you get
this"..and he said Oh I think I got it in 

So it occurred to me - al Ph.D's  - do they plagiarize other people's
work - don't they have anything original?   I asked in all sincerity,
and he said he wasn't going for a Nobel Peace Award or a Pulitzer - all
he wanted was he Ph.D, and I am happy to say I helped him get it.

And after all that work, all I can say is this - the most important line
in that whole piece was my one original thought - pesticides have been
known to kill people - very positive statement

So how could King steal anything from someone else's work when doing
Ph.D.

Everything that guy said that is recorded was plagiarized...Let Freedom
Ring - line out of the bible..Free At Last, Free at Last from old
hymn.I have a dream, sounds like Deuteronomy..for this man
identified with God and God has been plagarized from F. Scott Fitzgerald
to the one who wrote How Do I love thee - (Fitzgerald's Tender Is he
Night"
It was the best of times and the worst of times right out of the bible
in Kings, as I recall.

Now nobody has sued over this, and I think now even Jerry Falwell has a
bible copyrighted and he even changes meanings of names - for instance
MNASON no longer means, diligent seeker of truth.

To me, they are all a bunch of bums.here I was doing PHD work, and
he gets the Ph.D.

What is the difference between a thesis and a dissertation.

Is it like a Mutual Admiration Society?   Now I know Ph.D's are supposed
to be a little smarter than others but then I also know a moron who came
out of Morehouse College, a lawyer, who could ot spell and was so half
witted he could not put a simple complaint together, which is routine
material without handwriting it ..I did work for him when I worked
in the AG's office.but he was a nice guy - spent a lot of time
chasing women - but then he, was not married.

So things just are not as they seemfor simple solution see Wizard of
Oz.how the Scarecrow got his brain,  how the Tin Man got his heart
and how the cowardly lion, got up his courage.now like Clinton and
Gore, they did get stuck in poppy fields much too long - but when they
reach OZ, the great wizard, who passed out all the awards - was the
biggest dumb head of all.

I rest my case - from that day on I realized that anyone who went into a
university came out no smarter than he went in - he just is on his own,
can cheat his way through often without getting caught - and when I went

Clinton Will Stay on Govt. Payroll

By SHANNON McCAFFREY, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Clinton (news - web sites) leaves government
housing Saturday for life as a private citizen, but he'll still be receiving
federal help.

Like other ex-presidents, Clinton will continue to get taxpayer-funded
travel, mail, staff, office space and Secret Service protection.

Clinton is office hunting in Manhattan, one of the world's priciest markets.
The 56th floor suite the president has his eye on reportedly rents for about
$650,000 a year, more than twice the $285,000 Ronald Reagan's California
office costs taxpayers. President Bush's Texas office costs $147,000;
President Carter's in Georgia, $93,000, and President Ford's in Michigan,
$99,000.

The rent and other office-related costs - everything from pens and pencils
to travel - are covered by the government for the life of the ex-president.
Clinton is only 54, so taxpayers could be footing the bill for decades.

``That President Clinton is looking in such an expensive area is a great
concern to us,'' said Pete Sepp, spokesman for the conservative American
Taxpayers Union.

Gary Ruskin of the Congressional Accountability Project, a watchdog group
affiliated with consumer advocate Ralph Nader (news - web sites), suggested
Clinton look for a cheaper office or set up shop in a federal office
building.

``We hope he'd help save some of the budget surplus he helped create,''
Ruskin said.

The Carnegie Hall Tower office suite Clinton is eyeing is on West 57th
Street and has a commanding view of Central Park. In the neighborhood are
the famed Russian Tea Room restaurant, the Carnegie Deli and Carnegie Hall.

Rockrose Realty, which is handling the property, would not comment Thursday.
White House officials would say only that no deal had been finalized.

Office rents in Midtown Manhattan average $62 per square foot but can be as
high as $100 a square foot in some choice buildings, said Michael Slattery
of the New York City Real Estate Board.

Manhattan is about an hour's drive from the Clintons' home in Chappaqua,
N.Y., bought when Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) decided to run
for the seat being vacated by Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

Clinton has not spelled out what he will do after leaving office. He'll
collect a $157,000-a-year pension and may hit the lecture circuit, where he
could make a lot of money.

Don Epstein, chief executive officer of the New York-based Greater Talent
Network, predicted Clinton would earn than $100,000 a speech.

``I think that he probably will command more than just about anybody else
out there,'' Epstein said.

He also could land a huge book deal. Last month, his wife agreed to an $8
million advance for her memoirs.

Ashcroft approval rising
Poll also finds Bush numbers remain consistently favorable




By Jon Dougherty
 2001 WorldNetDaily.com



As Senate Judiciary Committee hearings into Attorney General-nominee John
Ashcroft stretched into Day No. 3, a new poll says Americans are giving the
former U.S. senator higher approval ratings than before the hearings began
earlier this week.

On Tuesday, the committee opened hearings with contentious questioning from
veteran senators about Ashcroft's Christian opposition to abortion, his
pro-Second Amendment views and his opposition to one of President Clinton's
nominees to the federal bench.

According to Portrait of America, 43 percent of Americans now rate him
favorably, compared to 36 percent Jan. 9.

In Thursday's poll, POA analysts said 25 percent of Americans were "not
sure" how they viewed Ashcroft, compared to 35 percent last week.

Meanwhile, POA said, "President-elect George W. Bush's job-approval rating
remains virtually unchanged."

Bush, who will be inaugurated tomorrow in Washington, D.C., has an overall
favorable rating of 50 percent among Americans, who rated his performance as
president-elect as "excellent" or "good." Forty-six percent said his
performance has been "fair" or "poor."

"This rating has remained mostly unchanged since the U.S. Supreme Court
decision on the election," analysts said.

Rasmussen Research conducted this national Portrait of America telephone
survey of 750 likely voters on Jan. 15, 2001. The margin of sampling error
is plus or minus 4 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

The Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold three hearings with Ashcroft
this week.

The featured witness Thursday was Missouri Supreme Court Justice Ronnie
White, an African-American who was nominated to the federal bench by Clinton
in 1999. His nomination was opposed by Ashcroft, who called him
"pro-criminal" in his opposition to the imposition of the death penalty in
key high-profile cases in Missouri.

Democrats and certain advocacy groups, including Rev. Jesse Jackson --
embroiled in a new scandal of his own -- according to reports on Thursday,
have tried to label Ashcroft a racist, despite his support for 26 out of 28
minority nominees as a U.S. Senator.

Jackson Reveals Out of Wedlock Kid
By SONYA ROSS
Associated Press Writer

  WASHINGTON (AP) -- Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson revealed
Thursday that he had an extramarital affair that resulted in the birth of a
daughter. "I fully accept responsibility and I am truly sorry for my
actions,'' he said.

  Jackson, a Baptist minister and one-time aide to Martin Luther King
Jr., issued a statement admitting that he fathered the child, now 20 months
old, and has provided "emotional and financial support'' since her birth. "As
her mother does, I love this child very much,'' he said.

  "I was born of these circumstances, and I know the importance of
growing up in a nurturing, supportive and protected environment,'' Jackson
said. "So I am determined to give my daughter and her mother the privacy they
both deserve.''

  Jackson did not say why he issued the statement. His New York-based
spokesman, John Scanlon, said later that Jackson acted to get out in front of
anticipated tabloid reports about the child, who Scanlon said was the result
of an affair Jackson had with a woman who worked in the Washington office of
Jackson's advocacy group, the Rainbow-PUSH Coalition.

  "He's obviously concerned for his family, for his child and the child's
mother,'' Scanlon said.

  "This is no time for evasions, denials or alibis,'' Jackson's statement
said. "No doubt, many close friends and supporters will be disappointed in
me. I ask for their forgiveness, understanding and prayers.''

  Jackson was a steadfast presence at President Clinton's side as the
president struggled with the public revelation of his affair with Monica
Lewinsky and the impeachment proceedings that followed. It was Jackson who
went to the White House to pray with Clinton's family on a grim weekend in
August 1998, as Clinton admitted the truth to his wife and daughter and, in a
nationally televised speech, to the nation.

  Last August, Clinton awarded Jackson the Medal of Freedom, the nation's
highest civilian honor. At that time, Jackson lavished praise on his wife,
Jackie, and his five children for supporting him in his long civil rights
career.

  Jackson said his family was aware of the situation with the child and
was experiencing "an extremely painful, trying and difficult time.''

  "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,'' Jackson said. "We have prayed together, and through God's
grace we have been reconciling.''

  Jackson said he would be taking an indefinite hiatus from his activist
activities, which included opposing the confirmation of President-elect
Bush's attorney general nominee John Ashcroft, to "revive my spirit and
reconnect with my family.''

  Jackson was not available for comment early Thursday.

  On Wednesday, he visited Xavier University in Louisiana with his son,
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill. and went from there to Chicago.

  Scanlon said Jackson's break from public life would not be immediate.
"We'll honor some of the earlier commitments he had and ... take a look at
what the other short-term commitments are,'' the spokesman said.

  Jackson Fathers Baby Out of 
WedlockThe Associated 
PressJan 19 2001 5:50AMCHICAGO (AP) - The Rev. 
Jesse Jackson's revelation that he had an extramarital affair and a 
child out of wedlock may have him doing something out of character - 
retreating from the spotlight. 
But as he and members of his Rainbow-PUSH Coalition plotted their 
next move, many residents in the city that is home base for his 
civil rights work stood behind him. 
``It's his business. We're only human,'' said Jamese Duckett, a 
26-year-old Chicagoan who is a driver for the county. 
``Everybody's allowed to make mistakes,'' she added. ``At least 
he 'fessed up and took responsibility.'' 
Others weren't as supportive. 
``This is a shock for a reverend to do something like this,'' 
Latanya Moore, 41, told the Chicago Tribune. ``How could he counsel 
someone else on their extramarital affair if he's having one 
himself?'' 
A steady stream of supporters - including Jackson's son, Rep. 
Jesse Jackson Jr. - visited with him at his Chicago home Thursday. 
The elder Jackson made no appearances and sent word that he was 
standing by a statement rushed out early that morning to beat 
reports in tabloid newspapers about the affair. 
``I fully accept responsibility and I am truly sorry for my 
actions,'' he said in the statement. Jackson said he would 
temporarily step aside from public life to spend time with his 
family. 
Earl Stanford of Palmdale, Calif., confirmed to The Associated 
Press on Thursday night that his sister, Karin Stanford, was the 
mother of Jackson's child but declined to discuss the matter. 
Karin Stanford, the 39-year-old former head of Rainbow-PUSH's 
Washington bureau, taught political science and African-American 
studies at the University of Georgia and wrote a book about Jackson, 
``Beyond the Boundaries: Reverend Jesse Jackson and International 
Affairs.'' 
Cirilo McSween, a Rainbow/PUSH board member who met with Jackson 
on Thursday, said the board may discuss temporarily replacing 
Jackson. 
While the news may have a short-term impact on Jackson's 
influence - for example, in protesting alleged voting irregularities 
in Florida and in Jackson's opposition to attorney general-designate 
John Ashcroft - some said he would have no problem recovering. 
``He has come back before from conflicts of one kind or 
another,'' said Ron Walters, a political science professor at the 
University of Maryland. 
In 1998, Jackson, once a Democratic presidential candidate 
himself, was a steadfast presence at Bill Clinton's side as the 
president struggled with the disclosure of his affair with Monica 
Lewinsky and the impeachment proceedings that followed. Some were 
struck at how vehemently Jackson defended Clinton. 
``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,'' Jackson said in August 1998. ``At some point we have 
to forgive, redeem and move on.'' 
The child is reportedly 20 months old, meaning she could have 
been conceived as early as July 1998 - a month before his

Hebron-Past, Present and Forever

By David Wilder
The Jewish Community of Hebron

The Innocence of Peace
January 19, 2001


By all accounts, Ofir Rachum was a normal sixteen year old -
bright, curious, and internet-savvy. Using the technical wonders
of internet, Ofir surfed the waves of the world and in the
process met an “older woman” in her twenties, and began an online
correspondence. Ma’ariv newspaper reports that she introduced
herself as an American tourist. According to one of Ofir’s
friends, Shlomi, interviewed this afternoon on Kol Yisrael news,
the relationship led to a meeting in Jerusalem over a month and a
half ago.  Again the details are still sketchy, but what is known
is that a couple of days ago Ofir and the woman rendezvoused at
the Jerusalem central bus station. She reportedly was going to
take Ofir to her home. Ofir got into her car and they took a
ride. It is unclear whether he knew their true destination.

Sometime later, between the Israeli community of Psagot and the
Arab-Palestinian Authority controlled city Ramallah, the car was
stopped by three masked men. The Arab terrorists fired into the
car, killing Ofir instantly. They dragged his body to the trunk
of the car and drove off. A little while later they dumped him,
leaving him to be discovered by P.A.  ‘police,’ who thought he
was an Arab youth.

It seems that Israeli security forces heard the shots that killed
Ofir, but did not interfere because they were fired on the border
between Israel and the PA. Believing that only Arabs were
involved, they suspected that the killing involved a ‘suspected
informer’ or some other internal Arab affair.  The next day,
after Ofir was reported missing, an officer put two and two
together and requests were sent to the PA, demanding
identification of the body discovered just over the border. Faxes
were sent back and forth, including descriptions of Ofir’s
clothing, and finally, his picture. When the identification
process was successfully concluded, Ofir’s bullet-riddled body
was returned to Israel for burial.

Voices have already been heard: what was Ofir Rachum doing with
an Arab woman? Why did he dare travel to Ramallah? When
interviewed by Kol Yisrael, the commander of Judea and Samaria,
General Benny Ganz, put his foot down at the very tone of the
questions. He made it very clear: Even if an Israeli finds
himself in territory ruled by the PA, be it by accident or
intentionally, he should be able to return home safely and
soundly. Even if the border crossing was intentional and the
traveler in error, this is not a reason for him to be killed.

Also interviewed this morning was Justice Minister Yossi Beilin,
who was asked whether, following such a brutal murder, the second
this week, the ‘peace process’ should continue. Beilin responded
emotionally, saying that the only way to stop such killings is
the successful completion of the ‘peace talks.’ “I remember when
we could go shopping and eat in restaurants in Ramallah, and I
wait for the day when we will be able to do so again.”

Earlier this week left-wing columnist Ari Shavit, wrote in
Ha’aretz newspaper: “The profound crisis which is causing the
failure of all the Israeli prime ministers, bar none, was created
by two crucial decisions, taken in 1992 and 1993…The second
decision was produced and directed by Justice Minister Yossi
Beilin,…who had Israel sign an illusory document [the Oslo
Accords] which undermines the foundations of its
existence…(which) shattered Israel’s national security,…placed it
in a position of endemic lack of strategic stabiliy,…and turned
it into an indefensible one (state)…No one is capable of
defending the country after Beilin entrusted its security to the
hands of the enemy.”


Exactly four years ago this week, Israel signed and implemented
the accursed Hebron Accords, a direct result of the original Oslo
Accords. At that time, when meeting with Hebron leaders, then
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu decried criticism against him:
“Why don’t you give this a chance?  Wait and see how everything
will be OK.  You may only criticize me afterwards, if the plan
fails.”

On the morning of the cabinet vote, then minister Natan Sharansky
again visited Hebron to see with his own two eyes the impending
results of the Hebron Accords. Sharansky was no new-comer to
Hebron. He had been here numerous times and was well aware of the
facts. However, he wanted to see it again. We took him from site

[Title 17 U.S.C. section 107]


Tryanny Personified
by Thomas J. DiLorenzo

During the U.S. Senate confirmation hearings for attorney
general nominee John Ashcroft, Senator Ted Kennedy
(D-O'Shea's Saloon) threw a fit over a perfectly correct
statement once made by Ashcroft regarding how the founding
fathers advocated the Second Amendment right to bear arms
because of their belief that a well-armed citizenry
constituted yet another check on governmental tyranny.
"What, us, tyrannical?" Kennedy bellowed. He then demanded
that Ashcroft "apologize to the American people" for
having made such an outrageous statement.

Senator Kennedy is perhaps the most important member of
Congress because in incidents like this he reminds
Americans of how truly corrupt, tyrannical, deceitful,
and rotten to the core the US State has become. To Kennedy,
murdering some 80 people, including several dozen children,
with poison gas, machine gun fire, and flames in Waco,
Texas, because they allegedly violated a minor gun control
law (which is unconstitutional, of course) is not an act
of tyranny.

An FBI sniper shooting a new mother holding her baby in
her arms at her home in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, right between
the eyes because her husband allegedly violated a minor
gun law is not an act of tyranny.

Murdering literally thousands of innocent civilians in
three different foreign countries with cruise missile
attacks just to deflect American media attention from
Bill Clinton's impeachment trial is nothing to be concerned
about in Ted Kennedy's mind.

The tax police in recent years have audited over a dozen
outspoken conservative and libertarian organizations that
have criticized government intervention, but has not
investigated any left-wing groups. There is supposedly
nothing at all suspicious or tyrannical about this, as well.

The tax cops have a training videotape in which an
"instructor" gives the following advice on how to treat
taxpayers: "Make them cry. We don't give points around
here for being good scouts. . . . Seizure and sales.
That's our mind set . . . . You're not out there to take
any prisoners. . . enforce collection until they come
to their knees." And people like Senator Kennedy insist
on referring to the federal income tax as "voluntary" and
the tax collection office as a "service."

According to the government's "glancing goose" standard,
if a goose flies over one's property and glances down at
the smallest mud puddle, the government has a right to
control the use of that property under the commerce clause
of the Constitution because the goose is likely to cross
state lines and be shot down by a hunter, which would
constitute interstate commerce. This is not a joke. This
is an integral part of the EPA's "wetlands" policy of
unconstitutional property confiscation. Nothing tyrannical
about that, either, Senator Kennedy?

Communities all over America have attempted to return to
some semblance of equality under the law by prohibiting
racial hiring quotas, only to be vetoed by a single
federal judge, educated at one of the left-wing propaganda
mills known as Ivy League law schools, and granted lifetime
tenure by unscrupulous and downright criminal politicians
like Bill Clinton.

Based on mere hearsay, heavily armed, flak jacketed
federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents can break
into one's house in the middle of the night and confiscate
all of one's property if an "informer" tells them that
there may be marijuana plants there. Property is confiscated
without recourse, and it takes years for innocent parties
to get it back, if they ever do. Many innocent citizens
(and even their pet dogs) have been gunned down by federal
agents in such raids.

Beginning in 1999, the National Security Agency ran a spy
satellite program named "Echelon" which scans millions of
phone calls, e-mails, and faxes from all around the world,
ostensibly looking for "national security threats." The
Soviet Union's secret police were never so prying and
abusive of citizens' privacy.

Despite the Second Amendment's protection of the right to
bear arms, in recent years laws and regulations have been
passed that ban millions of guns, create thousands of
"gun-free zones," retroactively turn more than a million
gun owners into felons by declaring their firearms "illegal
assault weapons," and created a national registry of all
people who have purchased firearms, historically the first
step to gun confiscation. All of these laws and regulations
are a blatant attack on the Constitution, our most
important safeguard against tyranny.

These are just a few examples of horrifyingly tyrannical
behavior of the US government that has become routine.
Politicians like Ted Kennedy are Orwellian caricatures
who apparently believe that TYRANNY IS FREEDOM, for they
are the architects of all these despicable acts of tyranny.
If the American public ever wakes up to this fact, these
political charlatans will hopefully

 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. 

I don't always agree with Hitchens, but he's dead on in this case.   I
suppose it's all right.  The Republicans have declared a war soon after
taking the presidency almost every time they've managed to get into that
office, so this time they'll really be prepared.  No more silly worrying
about what State will think.  State is a general, and generals just love war.

Jesse Jackson works his magic, and it must drive the old pols crazy
So there is Bill Clinton and the NATO spokesmen talking about how the
bombing of Yugoslavia really is working, and what is the split-screen on
CNN showing? The Rev. Jesse Jackson and the three freed U.S. servicemen.
How can a politician compete with the image reported in the news of
Jackson and the three young soldiers, hand in hand, marching across the
Yugoslavian-Croatian border, chanting, "Free at last, free at last,
thank God almighty, we are free at last."
It must drive them nuts - the professional politicians of all ilks - to
once again see Jackson all over the evening news. He just won't go away,
and, what probably exasperates them the most, they can't ignore him.
Which is what professional politicians would like to do, whether it is a
Democrat or a Republican in the White House. Sure, Clinton had Jackson
over for prayers at the height of the impeachment scandal.
The thing about Jackson is that a politician never knows what he might
blurt out. That's why you'll notice that politicians always keep a
certain distance from Jackson.
For example, speaking of Clinton, Jackson said, "There's nothing he
won't do. He's immune to shame. Move past all the nice posturing and get
really down there in him, you find absolutely nothing . . . nothing but
an appetite."
Trust me, I also found plenty of quotes from Jackson about Republicans.
I wonder what Slobodan Milosevic, a dictator who certainly knows how to
manipulate the media, must have thought at that meeting with the
minister, when Jackson suddenly called the group to stand in a circle
and pray, holding hands.
The reports are that Milosevic looked befuddled as Jackson reached for
his hand. The stories later said that "critics," whoever they are,
viewed the prayer as "inappropriate."
I don't know what's so inappropriate in getting a lifelong communist,
despot and butcher to take part, for even a minute, in prayer. I'd think
that's exactly who needs to talk to the Big Guy.
And, you never know. Perhaps Jackson could make some kind of human
connection with Milosevic, who might at least consider stopping the
atrocities, since one of the world's biggest bombing campaigns hasn't.
In past years, I've had two occasions to watch Jesse Jackson work his
charisma. The first was a long time ago, back in 1976, when he arrived
in town to kick off the Black Arts Festival. The audience was full of
kids acting the way kids often act, which is bored.
Jackson looked at them. He asked them to repeat, slowly, that saying
he's famous for: "I am somebody." You've heard people talk about an
event, and say that you had to be there. You had to be there, as Jackson
kept repeating the phrase, each time his voice rising, each time drawing
the bored kids to begin paying attention. I've been to very few events
where you could, literally, measure the electricity in the air.
I don't know if his appearance made any difference in the kids' lives.
I'd like to think so. That day in Seattle, his message to them was of
belief, hope and taking control of their destinies.
Years later, covering a Democratic national presidential convention in
Atlanta, I stopped by a hall that was some distance from the main venue.
The temperature that day was 104, and some 600 people of various races,
ages and backgrounds crammed the hall.
The same thing happened again, as the preacher took to the stage.
Jackson began talking slowly, quietly, picking out specific people in
the audience to address. Then his voice turned louder, more dramatic,
again with the message of hope.
A female delegate, who was not a Jackson supporter but had come to
satisfy her curiosity, told me, "I was so emotional after his speech
that if they had taken a vote right then, I would have voted for him."
Yes, Jesse Jackson is a little too much in love with the news cameras.
Still, he went to Yugoslavia, he got Milosevic to pray, and he got three
young soldiers safely home.
It must drive the professional politicians nuts: the grandstanding
preacher, once again on center stage. But I know there are some
soldiers' families who

Who Shot Ron? PART ONE
First I must say that I DO NOT KNOW who shot President Ronald Reagan.
There are an awful lot of THEORIES out there. Here are SOME of them.
http://www.tarpley.net/bush17.htm
"Bizarre happenstance, a weird coincidence"
 Bush spokeswoman Shirley M. Green, March 31, 1981 "For Bush, the
vice presidency was not an end in itself, but merely another stage in
the ascent towards the pinnacle of the federal bureaucracy, the White
House. With the help of his Brown Brothers, Harriman/Skull and Bones
network, Bush had now reached the point where but a single human life
stood between him and the presidency.- White House press secretary
James Brady could say in early March, 1981:
"Bush is functioning much like a co-president. George is involved in
all the national security stuff because of his special background as
CIA director. All the budget working groups he was there, the economic
working groups, the Cabinet meetings. He is included in almost all the
meetings." -"Partly in an effort to bring harmony to the Reagan high
command, it has been decided that Vice President George Bush will be
placed in charge of a new structure for national security crisis
management, according to senior presidential assistants. This
assignment will amount to an unprecedented role for a vice president
in modern times. In the Carter administration, the crisis management
structure was chaired by Zbigniew Brzezinski, the national security
adviser -Bush's stature, by virtue of job title and experience, was
cited as the reason that he was chosen to chair meetings in the
Situation Room in time of crisis. Principal officials involved in
crisis management will be the secretaries of state and defense, the
Central Intelligence Agency director, the national security adviser,
Meese, and Baker, officials said, adding that the structure has not
been fully devised nor the presidential directive written."-"White
House press secretary James Brady read the following statement to the
press:
I am confirming today the President's decision to have the Vice
President chair the Administration's "crisis management" team, as a
part of the National Security Council systemPresident Reagan's
choice of the Vice President was guided in large measure by the fact
that management of crises has traditionally-and appropriately-been
done in the White House. - "article in the Washington Post of Sunday,
March 22 was also a harbinger of things soon to come. This piece was
entitled "Anatomy of a Washington Rumor," and the rumor it traced was
that "Vice President George Bush had been nicked by a bullet in a
predawn shooting outside a townhouse somewhere on Capitol Hill."
According to this story, the source of the rumor in question was a
young woman artist living on Capitol Hill who had rushed into the
street on the evening of February 22 when she heard the sound of a
traffic accident near her home. There she was met a by a police
officer whom she had met previously, on the occasion of the murder a
few weeks earlier of a young Supreme Court Librarian in the same spot.
According to the woman artist, the policeman told her: "The vice
president was shot today." When the woman artist tried to check on
this story with the news media, the article alleged, the rumor took on
a life of its own and became an inchoate news story, with Jack
Anderson and others trying to verify it. Vice President Bush was
reportedly very angry when he was told about the rumor: "Peter Teeley,
the vice president's press secretary, told Bush of the inquiries. The
vice president was incredulous and was as angry as Teeley had ever
seen him. 'Jesus, this is the craziest thing I have ever heard,' he
said. Bush though the whole thing was silly. 'You should call
Barbara,' he told Teeley, ' and let her know what this is all about."
Why would Bush be so angry about a spurious report? As reporters dug
deeper into the alleged shooting, one asked a Secret Service contact
if there had been any recent shooting incidents monitored by his
agency. "The answer came back. On March 8, as a motorcade drove west
on Canal Road, officers had heard a 'popping sound' from a 'steep,
rocky cliff' on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. But it had
been President Reagan's motorcade, not Bush's. And the noises never
proved to be gunfire." Had there been an attempt to assassinate
Reagan, or to intimidate him? In any case Senator Howard Baker, the
GOP majority leader at that time, was overheard making jokes about the
allegedly discredited Rumor at a weekend party, and this was duly
noted in the Washington Post of March 25. In the midst of the
Bush-Baker cabal's relentless drive to seize control over the Reagan
administration, John Warnock Hinckley Jr.  carried out his attempt to
assassinate President Reagan on the

Who Shot Ron? PART TWO- Hinckley Related To Bush?
As I said, I do NOT KNOW WHO shot President Ronald Reagan- but there
ARE theories out there.  http://www.tarpley.net/bush17.htm "The
previous day, elder son George W. Bush had been far less categorical
about never having met gunman Hinckley. He had stated to the press:
"It's certainly conceivable that I met him or might have been
introduced to him." "I don't recognize his face from the brief, kind
of distorted thing they had on TV, and the name doesn't ring any
bells. I know he wasn't on our staff. I could check our volunteer
rolls." But now Neil was adamant: there had been no contact.  Neil was
a chip off the old block, and could not resist some hypocritical
posturing at the end of the press conference: "Let me say that my
heart goes out-as does the heart of every American-to the people
suffering in this tragedy." He mentioned Reagan, Brady, the wounded
Secret Service agent and District of Columbia policeman. "And the
Hinckley family, for the tremendous pain they must be suffering now."
And finally: "I only ask now that we can try to put this behind us and
move forward in dealing with the problems." Neil Bush's confirmation
of his relations with Scott Hinckley was matched by a parallel
confirmation from the Executive Office of the Vice President. This
appeared in The Houston Post, April 1, 1981 under the headline "VICE
PRESIDENT CONFIRMS HIS SON WAS TO HAVE HOSTED  HINCKLEY BROTHER" by
Post Washington Bureau Chief Arthur Wiese. Here the second-string
press secretary, Shirley Green, was doing the talking. "I've spoken to
Neil," she said, "and he says they never saw [Scott] Hinckley again
[after the birthday party].
They kept saying 'we've got to get together,' but they never made any
plans until tonight." Contradicting Neil Bush's remarks, Ms. Green
asserted that Neil Bush knew Scott Hinckley "only slightly."
Shirley Green described the Tuesday night dinner appointment as "a
bizarre happenstance, a weird occurrence." Later in the day Bush
spokesman Peter Teeley surfaced to deny any campaign donations from
the Hinckley clan to the Bush campaign. When asked why Sharon Bush
and
Neil Bush had made reference to large political contributions from
the
Hinckleys to the Bush campaign, Teeley responded, "I don't have the
vaguest idea." "We've gone through our files," said Teeley, "and we
have absolutely no information that he [John W. Hinckley Sr.] or
anybody in the family were contributors, supporters, anything." A
summary of this material was made generally available through the
Associated Press, which published the following short note
on March 31:  The family of the man charged with trying to
assassinate
President Reagan is acquainted with the family of Vice President
George Bush and had made large contributions to his political
campaignScott Hinckley, brother of John W. Hinckley Jr. who
allegedly shot at
Reagan, was to have dined tonight in Denver at the home of Neil Bush,
one of the Vice President's sons-.The Houston Post said it was unable
to reach Scott Hinckley, vice president of his father's Denver-based
firm, Vanderbilt Energy Corp., for comment. Neil Bush lives in
Denver, where he works for Standard Oil Co. of Indiana. In 1978, Neil
Bush served as campaign manager for his brother, George W. Bush, the
Vice President's eldest son, who made an unsuccessful bid for
Congress. Neil lived in Lubbock, Texas, throughout much of 1978,
where John Hinckley lived from 1974 through 1980. It is not known how
many newspapers chose to print this AP dispatch; it would appear that
the Washington Post for one did
not do so. The electronic media also do not appear to have devoted
much attention to this story. Once the cabinet had decided that there
had been no conspiracy, all such facts were irrelevant anyway. There
is no record of Neil Bush, George W. Bush, or Vice President George
H.W. Bush ever having been questioned by the FBI in regard to the
contacts described. They never
appeared before a grand jury or a Congressional investigating
committee. No special prosecutor was ever appointed. Which is another
way of saying that by March, 1981, the United States government had
degenerated into total lawlessness, with special exemptions for the
now ruling Bush family. Government by laws had dissolved. The media
were not interested in the dinner date of Neil Bush and Scott
Hinckley, but they were very interested indeed in the soap opera of
what had gone on in the Situation Room in the White House during the
afternoon of March 30. Since the media had been looking for ways to
go

[CTRL] A Murder in Congo

2001-01-19 Thread William Shannon
http://emperors-clothes.com/interviews/congo.htm


www.tenc.net 
[Emperor's Clothes]
1-19-2001 - The government of Congo (DRC) has just now confirmed that 
President Laurent Kabila is dead. The circumstances surrounding his death - 
indeed, the whole history of the Congo and Central Africa - are extraordinary 
and tragic. The following is an interview with a diplomat associated with the 
British government. He is familiar with Central Africa, and sympathetic to 
the people there. He asked that his name be withheld. We identify him by the 
initials 'DB'.
The interviewer is Jared Israel. 
Interesting comments and links to further reading follow the interview.
A Murder in Congo
Jared: Let me read you a dispatch from the January 17th 'New York Times':

'President Laurent Kabila of Congo, who deposed one of Africa's great 
dictators but then brought his country into even worse disarray, was shot 
and killed today, diplomats and associates said. 

… The government's minister of interior, Gaetan Kakudji, one of Mr. 
Kabila's closest allies, went on state television to say that the president 
himself had ordered the curfew, suggesting that he was still alive. 

But in Washington, a senior administration official said the United States 
has received several reports from credible sources that Mr. Kabila had been 
assassinated. "Our operating assumption is that he is dead," the official 
said. 



Isn't this rather extraordinary? First, we have the 'Times', which is the 
closest thing to an official U.S. government newspaper, condemning Mr. Kabila 
in the first sentence of a news story - blaming him for "even worse 
disarray". And then you have the U.S. government insisting the man is dead 
when the Congo government says he is critically wounded. Is this normal 
diplomacy?
DB: It is highly unorthodox. When a head of state is the target of an 
assassination attempt foreign governments refrain from making announcements 
until the government itself releases an official statement. They don't 
immediately declare: "He's dead! He's dead!" Let alone "This dictator is 
dead!" And the fact that Belgium, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Uganda and 
Rwanda, which are the two aggressor states in Congo, the fact that all these 
governments jumped on this situation crying, "He's dead! He's dead!" at the 
very least betrays their desires; they hope it's true. It raises the 
question: why would they commit this type of breach of diplomatic etiquette? 
What else is involved?
If you consider the month of January, it is a very important time for 
Congolese people, for their national prestige and honor. January is when they 
celebrate the anniversary of their liberation from colonialism. It is also 
the month when [anti-imperialist Prime Minister ] Patrice Lumumba was 
assassinated. It has a great psychological impact for this assassination 
attempt to occur at this time. And then these premature declarations from the 
West and pro-Western African leaders - it all strikes at the morale of the 
Congolese. The country is bogged down in a civil war. Now another leader from 
Lumumba's generation, a man who identified with Patrice Lumumba during the 
1960s is attacked.
The history of Laurent Kabila is this. He was on Lumumba's side during the 
civil war in the early 1960s. When Lumumba was assassinated in 1961 Kabila 
declared himself against the pro-Western dictator Mobutu Sese Seko. In 1964 
Kabila actually staged an uprising against Mobutu. It was put down and he 
fled to Tanzania and tried to start a revolution there. He worked some there 
with Che Guevara, who was then in Africa. 
So Kabila has been in the bush since the 1960s. He was really a marginal 
player until the later 1990s when he was swept into power on the heels of the

Ashcroft and Racism: Breaking the Code

By Norman Solomon A surreal mixup disrupted CNN programming for a few moments
on Jan. 17 when the network switched to live coverage of Colin Powell. While
the retired general appeared on the screen, the audio was the voice of Sen.
Edward Kennedy at another Senate hearing -- as the senior senator from
Massachusetts railed against John Ashcroft's record of opposing civil rights.
Suddenly, a rattled CNN anchor was apologizing for the technical difficulty.
And viewers were left to ponder the unintended juxtaposition of media images.
We're told that the new administration has embraced the concept of diversity
based on merit, with a prime example being the choice of Powell as secretary
of state. But the most important domestic policy job is attorney general. And
the Ashcroft nomination has sparked a firestorm of resistance for many
reasons, including his racial history. Testifying, Ashcroft did not lack for
requisite sound bites: "I believe that racism is wrong... I deplore racism
and I always will." His wording was always careful. At one point he said, "I
condemn those things that are condemnable." Ashcroft is experienced at
speaking in code while exploiting racism for political gain. A few weeks ago,
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch recalled that Ashcroft "has built a career out of
opposing school desegregation in St. Louis." Twice, as governor of Missouri,
he vetoed bills that sought to give residents of the heavily black city of
St. Louis the same access to voter registration as the mostly white residents
of surrounding suburbs. During Ashcroft's confirmation hearing, Sen. Joseph
Biden of Delaware raised the issue of his interview with Southern Partisan
magazine. That publication is so favorable toward the days of slavery that it
has sold a T-shirt bearing a picture of Abraham Lincoln accompanied by the
Latin words of his assassin, "Sic Semper Tyrannis" -- "Thus Always to
Tyrants." Biden neglected to bring up the fact that Ashcroft went out of his
way to praise Southern Partisan during his 1998 interview -- when he said
that the magazine "helps set the record straight" and lauded it for
"defending Southern patriots" such as Jefferson Davis, the vehement advocate
of slavery who was president of the Confederacy. And Biden should have asked
why Ashcroft used the interview to tell the readers of the nation's leading
neo-Confederate magazine: "Traditionalists must do more. I've got to do more.
We've all got to stand up and speak in this respect, or else we'll be taught
that these people were giving their lives, subscribing their sacred fortunes
and their honor to some perverted agenda." After Biden's somewhat inept
questioning of Ashcroft on the subject of the Southern Partisan interview,
pro-Ashcroft spinners did their best. On the PBS "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer,"
syndicated columnist Georgie Anne Geyer told viewers that Ashcroft was being
unfairly pilloried because of his "respect for Confederate heritage."
Fortunately, some pundits have confronted the implications of Ashcroft's warm
interview with Southern Partisan. Several columnists for mainstream daily
newspapers cut to the heart of the matter. In the New York Daily News,
Stanley Crouch noted that Southern Partisan introduced the interview by
touting Ashcroft as a "champion of states' rights and traditional Southern
values." Crouch pointed out: "Those are code words for white supremacist
ideas about the Civil War, segregation, genetics and so on. Code is now very
important, even to those in the boggiest wilds of the far right. They, too,
know that in politics it might be best to move under camouflage until you get
where you want and can begin opening serious fire against your enemies."
Right now, if John Ashcroft gets where he wants, he'll be moving into the
office of the attorney general of the United States. In the Boston Globe,
columnist Derrick Z. Jackson has been eloquent about what's at stake. "The
nation's top law enforcer cannot be someone who vacillates between civil
rights and Civil War fantasies," Jackson wrote. And he concluded: "When
Ashcroft says the traditionalists must do more, America should tremble. The
nomination is so perverted, it should follow the final path of his
Confederate heroes. It should be driven off in a scorched-earth campaign."
But John Ashcroft and his strongest allies -- on Capitol Hill and in the news
media -- are going all out for Senate approval of his nomination. They have
plans. And they're not just whistling Dixie.

``he thought he was king of the new world order.''

Blast renews debate over safety at Capitol.

Trucker had long history of mental illness

Investigators seek Capitol blast clues

BY LORI ARATANI, DION NISSENBAUM,
BARBARA FEDER AND CHERYL DEVALL
Mercury News

The Southern California man state officials believe drove his truck into
the state Capitol was a sometimes violent parolee with a long history of
mental illness who had been in and out of prisons and mental hospitals
for more than a decade.

Michael Bowers, 37, had ``delusions of grandeur'' and thought that one
day he would be the leader of what he called ``the new world order,''
according to mental health workers. But in 1999, when state officials
sought to keep him in custody, a Riverside County jury released him.

Wednesday, as teams of investigators, including officials from the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, combed through the charred wreckage of the big rig, new
details began to emerge about the man who was behind the wheel.
Witnesses said that Bowers hit speeds of 70 mph before slamming into the
building Tuesday night -- just after lawmakers ended a late session on
the state's power crisis.

Even as officials set up a chain-link fence around the crash scene and
hundreds of stunned gawkers gathered around, lawmakers continued their
marathon efforts to craft a solution to the state's electricity woes.
Capitol staffers brought in large fans to help clear the air, but the
acrid smell of burned rubber and smoke permeated the water-stained halls
of the old Capitol building.

Wednesday evening, workers removed the truck, which had been lodged
between two blackened arches, just below the Senate chambers. Earlier in
the day, investigators removed the body of the driver.

``I think all of us very much regret the incredible incident last night
that resulted in the loss of one life and certainly scared the heck out
of everyone in the Capitol,'' said Gov. Gray Davis, who said he would be
meeting with lawmakers over the next few weeks to increase security
without limiting the public's access to the Capitol.

Officials said it was clear that Bowers deliberately crashed the truck.
Witnesses reported that he circled the streets around the Capitol twice
before he jumped the curb and slammed into the south side of the
historic building. A skid mark in the grass marked the spot where Bowers
apparently shifted gears to gain speed to climb the granite steps.

Police said there was no evidence that Bowers was part of a larger
conspiracy.

Family members said that Bowers had a troubled past, but seemed to be
moving forward with his life. He'd recently earned his commercial truck
license and seemed content.

Even so, leaning against the doorway of her mobile home near Perris, an
exhausted Shirley Bowers said her son continued to harbor deep
resentment toward a justice system that he thought had treated him
unfairly. But she refused to believe he was suicidal.

``I just can't think he'd kill himself,'' she said. ``I heard he was
tooting his horn. Maybe he just lost control of his truck. It could have
been an accident.

``He wasn't a terrorist. He was a mental patient.''

For nearly all his adult life, Bowers was confined to prisons or state
mental hospitals. State mental health authorities declined to provide
his official diagnosis, citing patient confidentiality. But from 1995 to
1999, he was housed at Atascadero State and Patton hospitals.

But Valerie Mraz, supervising district attorney in Riverside County,
told the Associated Press that Bowers had ``schizo-affective disorder.''
She also said that on Jan. 2, Bowers pleaded guilty to spousal abuse. He
was placed on three years' probation and ordered to attend
anger-management classes.

Tom Stewart, a family friend, blamed the state prison system for not
doing more to help Bowers. He said he believed Bowers' mental problems
began while Bowers was serving time at the California Men's Colony in
San Luis Obispo. That was when Bowers began talking about world
domination, Stewart said, and before long, ``he thought he was king of
the new world order.''

Bowers' troubles began in 1986, when he was sentenced to two years for
assaulting a police officer in Mono County. After serving the sentence,
he was in and out of prison three times for apparent parole violations.
In August 1989, he was arrested in Riverside County for beating his
girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter, according to Mraz.

He served three years of a six-year sentence for corporal punishment and
was subsequently sent to Atascadero State Hospital for mental health
treatment.

Stephen Green, a spokesman for the California Youth and Adult
Correctional Agency, said that while in prison, Bowers frequently
reacted violently to the simplest of instructions

[CTRL] Clinton Will Not Be Indicted

2001-01-19 Thread kl

-Caveat Lector-

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/011901/clinton_indict.sml

In Deal With Special Prosecutor, Clinton Will Not Be Indicted
Friday, January 19, 2001


President Clinton has reached a deal with the independent
counsel's office guaranteeing him immunity from prosecution after
he leaves office.

Robert Nix/ZUMA

Clinton will admit to making misleading statements during the
Lewinsky and Jones scandals in exchange for the special
prosecutor's shutting down the probe.


Under the deal with Independent Counsel Robert Ray, Clinton must
admit that he made misleading statements during the probe of his
relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky and
in the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit.

In return, Ray's office will shut down its probe and Clinton will not
be indicted. As well, Clinton's Arkansas law license will be
suspended for five years and an Arkansas Supreme Court
committee will end its proceedings against him, sources said.

Ray planned to announce the deal sometime after 2 p.m. ET
Friday.

Clinton's admission of wrongdoing will be in the form of a written
statement, sources said.

White House officials would not comment on the agreement, and
Clinton's private attorney, David Kendall, was not immediately
available for comment.

In sworn depositions Clinton gave during the Jones suit, the
president said he did not have a sexual relationship with Lewinsky,
a claim he repeated in public several times — until August 1998,
when he admitted his relationship with the intern was "not
appropriate."

Clinton was impeached two years ago on charges of perjury and
obstruction of justice related to the Lewinsky and Jones cases —
but he was acquitted. He was later found in contempt of court by a
federal judge, and he paid $90,000 in fines.

Many Felt Clinton Should Not Be Indicted

The deal culminates growing sentiment that Clinton should not be
indicted in the Lewinsky scandal.

This month, the Senate Judiciary Committee's top Republican,
Orrin Hatch of Utah, suggested that President-elect Bush pardon
Clinton to "end a problem in America that needs to be ended."

In response, Bush said, "I think it's time to get all of this business
behind us" and let Clinton "move on and enjoy life and become an
active participant in the American system." Regarding the
possibility of a pardon, Bush has said, "The suggestion that I would
pardon somebody who has never been indicted, that doesn't make
any sense to me."

How Do You Prosecute a President?

The legal roadmap to any decision on a Clinton indictment was a
36-page document entitled "Principles of Federal Prosecution"
which is part of the U.S. attorney's manual, the massive set of
Justice Department procedures that federal prosecutors rely on in
doing their jobs.

Ray's office is not part of the Justice Department, but "we are
generally obligated to follow the principles of federal prosecution as
outlined in the U.S. attorney's manual," said deputy independent
counsel Keith Ausbrook.

The U.S. attorney's manual says a decision to bring criminal
charges should take into account whether "there exists an
adequate non-criminal alternative to prosecution." Another section
of the manual states: "Merely because the attorney for the
government believes that a person's conduct constitutes a federal
offense and that the admissible evidence will be sufficient to obtain
and sustain a conviction, does not mean that he/she necessarily
should initiate or recommend prosecution."

Among the other legal questions that a prosecutor contemplating
criminal charges would be whether Clinton has accepted
responsibility for his actions and whether letting the ex-president
go would undermine federal law enforcement.

ON THE RIGHT by William F. Buckley Jr.

HOW TO PRACTICE DISRESPECT

The president of the United States, no less, has lightheartedly
questioned the legitimacy of the presidential election.
Lightheartedly not in the sense of a roast, at which you
are invited to say uproariously improvised defamations of
the guest of honor; lightheartedly in the sense of Mr.
Clinton's historical insouciance. No one can know better
than a president who has served in office the axiomatic
dependence on legitimacy. Now Mr. Clinton is making jokes
on the subject that should be off-limits this side of
Letterman and Leno.

What Clinton said about campaign manager William Daley was,
"I think he did a brilliant job in leading Vice President
Gore to victory." He said it again at the banquet that
night: "What I told them upstairs was Bill Daley ran the
first presidential campaign in history that was so clearly
winning, a court had to stop the vote in order to change
the outcome."

The next day -- inevitably -- the president-elect was
asked about it. Governor Bush was piqued, but brushed
Clinton off with less of the retaliatory verve one might
have got from, say, Ronald Reagan. Are there reasonable
limits to the expression of sour grapes?

In Little Rock, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette publishes
a weekly column by Gene Lyons, who hosts an annual event
designed to elicit "wit, irony or sarcasm for humane
purposes." Mr. Lyons quotes as "hard to surpass" a
proffered pledge of allegiance by one Paul Kirkpatrick.
"... I will badmouth the president daily, I will work
in whatever small way I can to defeat and undermine his
programs and agenda, I will believe every scurrilous
lie told about him, and I will criticize and ridicule
his wife and children at every opportunity."

Mr. Lyons brings to mind the line by the critic Guy
Davenport: "Sometimes, on reading Goethe, one has the
paralyzing suspicion that he thinks he's being funny."

But professor James K. Galbraith was not trying to be
funny, as far as one can tell, when he wrote for The
Boston Globe lines gleefully quoted in the
Democrat-Gazette column. "The key to dealing with the
Bush people ... is precisely not to accept them. ...
I will not reconcile myself to them. They lost the
election. Then they arranged to obstruct the count of
the vote. They don't deserve to be there, and that
changes everything. They have earned our civic
disrespect, and that is what the people should accord
them."

These lines are a part of a longer piece that will
appear in the Texas Observer. There we will have the
judgment of professor Galbraith on "the events of
late in the year 2000." It is that "the United States
left behind constitutional republicanism, and turned
to a different form of government." We have now
"corporate democracy. A system whereby a board of
directors -- read Supreme Court -- selects the chief
executive officer. The CEO in turn appoints new
members of the board. The shareholders, owners in
title only, are invited to cast their votes in periodic
referenda. But their franchise is only symbolic, for
management holds a majority of the proxies. On no
important issue do the CEO and the board ever permit
themselves to lose."

This is a fantasy that Linda Chavez will especially
enjoy. Mr. Galbraith is University of Texas Professor
of Government in the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public
Affairs, where he can study stolen elections under high
domestic patronage.

The planted axiom here is that five members of the Supreme
Court were what? -- bribed? coerced? persuaded? -- to
ignore their oaths of office in order unconstitutionally
to effect the election of a Republican. That kind of
language hasn't been around since the John Birch Society
taught that genuine understanding of postwar history
required one to understand that Dwight D. Eisenhower was
a Soviet agent.

Fellow travelers in sedition don't need to buy the entire
Galbraith dogma. But they might find his practical advice
enticing. "The new president should be allowed lifetime
appointments only by consensus. The public should oppose --
and 50 Senate Democrats should freely block -- judicial
nominations whenever they carry even the slightest ideological
taint. That may mean most of them, but no matter. And as for
the Supreme Court especially, vacancies need not be filled."

Individual items on the Bush agenda should be "furiously
opposed," as for instance the elimination of the estate tax.
Is there a foreign-policy plank in the Galbraith agenda? For
sure. "The people must unite to oppose the global dangers of
National Missile Defense -- a strategic nightmare on which
Bush campaigned -- that threatens for all time the security
of us all."

[CTRL] UPDATE-DID BUSH COMMIT PERJURY AFTER GETTING HIS DWI CONVICTION?

2001-01-19 Thread William Shannon
DID BUSH COMMIT PERJURY AFTER GETTING HIS DWI CONVICTION? 
(revised with update) 

We know by his own admission that until 1986, GW Bush was a heavy drinker.  
We also know that in 1976 he was convicted of DUI (driving under the 
influence) in Kennebunkport, Maine, and that thereafter, Bush sought to 
maintain this conviction as a secret. 

The Daily Brew has learned from reliable sources that after that conviction, 
Bush regularly operated his family's King Air (about a 4 million dollar twin 
turboprop), as a civilian. However, to maintain his FAA license, Bush, like 
all licensed pilots, would have had to fill out a questionnaire as part of 
the airman's medical certificate given by an Aviation Medical Examiner at 
least every 2 years. The Daily Brew understands that persons filling out that 
questionnaire during the period from 1976-1986 were REQUIRED by federal law 
to disclose information related to alcohol dependency.  

Any false or misleading statements on that form are federal offenses. 

So the $64 question is:  Did Bush commit perjury in filling out the 
questionnaire for his airman's medical certificate? 


Update on the Bush DUI/FAA License story: 

Brew, I have been a licensed pilot since 1979 and a commercial pilot since 
1984 and have held a current airman's medical certificate continuously.  I 
also hold an FAR Part 135 Air Carrier Letter of Authorization to Act as Pilot 
in Command of aircraft for hire in air taxi or scheduled air carrier 
service.  I was the company check pilot for a small cargo air carrier based 
at Willow Run (Detroit's cargo airport) prior to attending medical school.  I 
am also a board certified medical specialist.  I am still an active pilot and 
routinely fly 300 plus hours per year and maintain a Class II medical 
(commercial pilot level).  As an FAA aviation safety counselor with the 
Detroit Flight Standards District Office, I keep current on regulations, and 
changes as they occur.  I have occasion to speak with the Federal Air Surgeon 
as part of my personal interest and professional duties. 

Prior to 1989, there were no regulations regarding reporting of motor vehicle 
offenses to the FAA for any reason.  14 CFR 61.15 (c), (d) and (e) were added 
in 1989 and were the subject of substantial controversy.  Bob Carr, (then 
D-Mich 14th Congressional District), was chairman of the Aviation 
Subcommittee of the House Transportation Committee.  He and I had several 
lengthy conversation on this matter and we shared the concerns that the FAA 
was beginning to pry into non-aviation related aspects of airman's lives.  
There were several incidents which gave support for creating the revision to 
the FAR:  1.)  A transportation related train wreck in Maryland, in which the 
engineers were intoxicated, 2.)  The infamous Northwest Airlines pilot 
incident in South Dakota.  At that time, the FAA issued a NPRM to include 
non-aviation based alcohol offenses in its six month (Class I - airline 
transport pilot), one year (Class II - commercial pilot), and then two year 
(Class III - private pilot, which is presently a three year certificate since 
1998), that NPRM adding parts (c), (d) and (e) to FAR 61.15.  The reference 
for this information is personal communication with Congressman Carr, The 
Professional Manual of Flight (1979, 1980 and 1895 editions), Cessna Aircraft 
Publishing Company, FAR/AIM 1977, 1981, 1986, 1988 and 1995 editions, as 
published by the Aviation Supplies and Academics, Inc.  7005 132nd place SE, 
Renton, WA.  Documents I should have pitched long ago, but are still 
cluttering up my bookshelves. 

The original NPRM is readily available in the Federal Register, but 
unfortunately, I don't have access to archived FR prior to 1991 at our 
library, and if I did, it would take a long time to find the NPRM. 

Also, FYI, the FAA began compulsory drug testing for commercial pilots and 
volunteer pilots who fly for charities at that time, which has demonstrated 
that pilots, although they may screw up on the ground, with a few notable 
exceptions as above, take their flying extremely seriously, having a positive 
drug test rate of less than 0.005% which also includes 
pre-employment screens, not only of pilots, but mechanics and cabin 
crew members.  Also, for pilots who have been involved in multiple DUI/OUI 
situations, a waiver of the 1 year requirement is possible, following a 
successful completion of an approved rehab program.  This is an area in which 
I am not familiar with, since I don't deal with these issues. Hope this 
enlightens you.

Walt: 

Your reply still leaves unresolved the central issue.  During 1976-1986, did 
the questionnaire given as a part of the airman's medical certificate ask 
about alcohol use, alcohol related offenses, or alcohol dependancy?  If so, 
what would have been the consequences of answering in the affirmative (which 
Bush would have had to do) or lying?

ASHCROFT FUNNELED FORFEITED DRUG BUST MONEY TO COP PALS AND COP CONTRACTORS, 
INSTEAD OF GIVING IT TO SCHOOLS AS LAW REQUIRED. 
MISSOURI COPS SAID ASHCROFT AGREED TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY" ON FORFEITURE LAW.
By Daniel Forbes © 2001
Two Missouri police officials quoted then governor John Ashcroft as having 
told them he'd "`look the other way'" should they ignore an upcoming Missouri 
State Supreme Court ruling that might direct asset forfeiture monies to be 
distributed to local school boards in accordance with the state constitution.
The statements were made independently and at different times by both a 
sheriff in uniform and a police chief at a meeting at the office of then US 
Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, Jean Paul Bradshaw, a decade 
ago, according to Don Burger, then an official with the US Department of 
Justice. Representing Justice, Burger attended in his role as a community 
affairs specialist seeking to steer to Missouri schools and treatment 
programs some of the drug-bust money being illegally kept by police.
John Ashcroft drapes himself in the mantle of "integrity." He used the word 
in reference to himself several times during his introduction by 
President-elect Bush as the Attorney General nominee. The repeated 
characterization fuels the oft-proclaimed notion that Sen. Ashcroft is a man 
of such moral rectitude that the nation can count on him to fully enforce all 
laws - no matter his personal views. During the first day of his Senate 
confirmation hearings, Sen. Ashcroft declared, raising his right hand for 
emphasis, that, "When I swear to uphold the law, I will keep my oath, so help 
me God." Yet, during Sen. Ashcroft's tenure as governor of Missouri, he 
blithely told two senior law enforcement officials he would ignore a serious 
matter of law, according to Burger.
Says Burger, recalling the meeting at Bradshaw's office in Kansas City, MO a 
decade ago, the two law enforcement officials said Gov. Ashcroft had told 
them he would "`look the other way'" should the police proceed to ignore a 
ruling about to emerge from the Missouri Supreme Court. The ruling, 
ultimately issued in November 1990, mid-way through Sen. Ashcroft's second 
term as governor, concerned a case brought by a local school board that 
argued that Missouri law enforcement must follow the state constitution and 
turn proceeds from asset forfeiture cases over to education rather than keep 
the money for themselves. Millions of dollars were at stake, money Missouri 
law enforcement agencies had used for years to buy everything from computers 
to radio systems to cars and guns.
Now, with a ruling expected shortly, the cops were nervous that their well 
might run dry. But, according to Burger's recollection of statements by the 
two top cops, who spoke independently at different times during the meeting, 
police - especially the highway patrol that reports to the governor's office 
- need not fear interference from the same cabinet nominee who now pledges to 
rigorously and impartially enforce the nation's laws.
Hosted by US Attorney Bradshaw, the meeting was attended by members of what 
was known informally as the Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee, says 
Burger. Among the items on the agenda was a discussion of the "problem of 
state law," he says - that is, the provision in Article IX, Section 7 of 
Missouri's constitution that requires "the clear proceeds of all penalties, 
forfeitures and fines collected hereafter for any breach of the penal laws of 
the state shall be distributed annually to the schools of the several 
counties according to law."
Referring to the sheriff and the police chief, Burger told the Review, "Both 
men stated at different times during the meeting that - based on their 
conversations with Governor Ashcroft - the governor said he would 'look the 
other way' specifically regarding the [Missouri] Supreme Court's ruling and 
asset seizures going to education. That was the terminology used by both 
persons." Burger adds that he remembers both individuals using the specific 
"look the other way" terminology because, "It struck me as an unusual 
reference regarding the applicability of funds to be set aside for education."
In fact, says Burger, the remarks were salient enough, that he later jotted 
down the Ashcroft quote in the margins of a Dept. of Justice report he was 
reading. The governor's statement, in Burger's opinion, indicated that 
Missouri law enforcement agencies would continue, despite any state supreme 
court ruling, to "use asset forfeiture to divert money to sheriff and police 
department projects."
Bradshaw, now in private practice in Kansas City, recalls no such statements 
by any police officials at any meeting he attended. Mindy Tucker, a 
spokesperson for the Bush/Cheney transition team said that ignoring a court 
ruling "is not a position ever held by Gov. Ashcroft." She based her 
statement, she said, on conversations with "people familiar with his

01-18-01: It's a cakewalk for Ashcroft and other Bush picks, as Senate
Democrats roll over again

By Larry Chin

January 18, 2001 | Even before he began asking his questions, Senator
Herbert Kohl, the Democrat from Wisconsin, said to John Ashcroft, "You are
likely to be confirmed, as we well know."

As we know too damned well, the so-called "hearings" over the confirmation
of Ashcroft are turning out to be another fine example of what a cowering,
prostrate, bought-and-paid-for puppy dog of a party the Democrats have
become.

Two days have passed without any real challenge to Ashcroft's venomous
racism, his ardent love of the Confederacy, his misogynistic pro-birth
activism, his dirty deals with corporations, his rabidly militant
religious beliefs and ties to Christian militia groups, his Bob Jones
University butt-kissing, or his fund raising activities and long history
of defying campaign finance laws. The volumes of evidence compiled by
civil rights groups, women's groups, human rights groups, anti-corruption
organizations and other investigators-filed away and ignored.

For two days we have suffered through the usual obstructionism from
hatchet men Orrin Hatch and Arlen Specter (the eternal defenders of all
things Republican, corrupt, and criminal), and biased "testimony" from
Ashcroft friends and relatives, like the corrupt and pompous John Danforth.

For two days we have labored through hours of senatorial buddy-buddy,
preening, congratulatory chuckling and sickening ass kissing about how
"Senator Ashcroft served our great and grand nation with honor" and
"exudes integrity."

The polite and effete Democrats who did manage to peep out questions
squeaked out the wrong ones, and worse, tossed patently ridiculous
softballs at Ashcroft such as: "Will you defend Roe v. Wade, Senator
Ashcroft?" "I will enforce the law," he said. "Thank you, what a great,
great man you are. By gosh, I believe ya." And it's over.

Only Ted Kennedy dared to venture into Ashcroft's skeleton closet. But
Kennedy's words, however blistering and appropriate, have no power in
America. He has long been defrocked-"Chappaquidicked"- by his political
opponents to the point that whatever leaves his mouth is rendered harmless.

Ashcroft knows the congressional testimony game. Republicans have played
the weak Democrats like fools since the Iran-Contra/Clarence Thomas days.

The formula, which will be used by every Republican who comes before the
Senate, consists of variations on the following:

-"I promise to be good and ethical. Trust me. (wink)"

- (Lie about record here.)

-"That may have happened in the past. I won't do it anymore."

-"I don't recall."

-"I can appreciate your views. (Do not clarify nor answer.)

- (Distort facts here.)

-"No, I didn't say that. (List lies here)."

-"Thank you for that important question. I'll do my best to address it.
(Ramble, but don't.) "

- (Take credit for things he/she never did here.)

-"In fact, I am a caring, passionate defender of all people (List lies
here)."

-"Thank you for that compliment, [first name of Republican chum], that is
an issue that means a lot to me." (Follow with rambling patriotic
monologue laced with homilies, bad sport analogies and religious humility.)

In an adjoining Senate chamber, Colin Powell repeated the same lies to
even softer softballs. It will happen over and over with Norton, Thompson,
Rumsfeld, and whomever Bush chooses to force down our throats.

Dirty politicians like Ashcroft and Bush lie. They lie in front of
microphones and cameras, and under oath. They lie, and the system protects
them. They lie, and the corporate media reflects their lies. A genuinely
stupid and dumbed-down populace accepts the sound bites of lies-based
"hunches," a politician's looks and or style, and on zero knowledge of
facts.

The politicians slip by and, once in power, do violence to democracy with
ruthlessness and impunity-with the consent and assistance of congressional
cronies who are themselves corrupt.

It is painfully evident that America is not run by two parties. It is run
by one fanatical Corporate Party headed by the likes of the Bush family,
in which no member can or will fight another.

Can we expect the Borking that Ashcroft deserves before the full Senate,
under a system in which a "progressive" senator, such as Paul Wellstone,
of Minnesota is a personal friend of a gun-toting rightwing fanatic like
Ashcroft?

Don't hold your breath. Just take to the streets.

 WASHINGTON -- Linda Tripp, the woman whose secret tape recordings led
 to
 President Clinton's impeachment, was fired Friday by the Clinton
 administration after she refused to resign like other political
 appointees,
 her lawyer said.
 "The termination of Linda Tripp is vindictive, mean-spirited and
 wrong,"
 attorneys Stephen Kohn, David Colapinto and Michael Kohn said in a
 statement. "President Clinton should not have ended his presidency on
 such
 a vengeful note."
 Word of Tripp's firing came as Clinton reached a deal to settle the
 remaining legal issues from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

 Clinton Accepts 5-Year Law Suspension
 By Pete Yost
 Associated Press Writer
 Friday, Jan. 19, 2001; 1:26 p.m. EST
 WASHINGTON -- President Clinton has reached a deal with prosecutors
 to
 avoid indictment, requiring him to make a written acknowledgment he
 may
 have misled investigators in the Monica Lewinsky case and agree to a
 suspension of his law license, government sources said.
 On his final day in office, Clinton was preparing the statement to be
 made
 Friday and agreed to accept a five-year suspension of his Arkansas
 law
 license, the officials said.
 The deal will spare the nation the prospect of seeing one of its
 former
 chief executives put on criminal trial. Clinton will have immunity
 from
 further prosecution under the deal with Independent Counsel Robert
 Ray, the
 sources said.
 In his statement, Clinton will acknowledge he may have made
 misleading
 statements in his sworn testimony in the Lewinsky matter, the sources
 said,
 speaking only on condition of anonymity.
 White House press secretary Jake Siewert would not confirm the deal.
 "The president has long said that he wanted to put this thing behind
 him,"
 Siewert said. "We will have a statement at 2 p.m."
 The deal effectively brings to an end the six-year Whitewater
 investigation
 that began with questions about the Clintons' Arkansas land deal but
 expanded to his conduct in the Oval Office.
 Ray, who took over the investigation more than a year ago, had been
 using a
 grand jury to decide whether Clinton should be indicted for perjury
 and
 obstruction of justice after he leaves office on Saturday. A decision
 was
 expected soon.
 Ray reached the deal with Clinton's attorney David Kendall, the
 sources
 said. "The deal is going to be announced within hours," said one of
 the
 sources.
 The deal addresses the remaining legal issues from the president's
 affair
 with Lewinsky, a former White House intern, which prompted his
 impeachment
 by the House in December 1998 and acquittal in a Senate trial the
 following
 February.
 The Arkansas Supreme Court had begun proceedings to revoke Clinton's
 law
 license, but the president has now agreed to have the license
 suspended for
 five years.
 In addition to impeachment, a federal judge fined Clinton for
 misleading
 testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit that helped
 spur the
 Lewinsky revelations.
 In recent months, Clinton had defiantly and repeatedly suggested that
 he
 would fight any indictment by Ray.
 "I don't believe that I should be charged," Clinton said in an
 interview
 with "60 Minutes II" in December. "If that's what they want, I'll be
 happy
 to stand and fight."
 Last April, Clinton told a conference of newspaper editors that he
 would
 not ask his successor for a pardon. "I don't think it would be
 necessary. I
 won't be surprised by anything that happens, but I'm not interested
 in
 being pardoned."
 In recent days, however, even Republicans who had long criticized
 Clinton
 had urged there be no such trial.
 The Senate Judiciary Committee's top Republican, Orrin Hatch of Utah,
 suggested that President-elect Bush pardon Clinton to "end a problem
 in
 America that needs to be ended."
 Bush responded by saying, "I think it's time to get all of this
 business
 behind us" and let Clinton "move on and enjoy life and become an
 active
 participant in the American system." Regarding the possibility of a
 pardon,
 Bush has said, "The suggestion that I would pardon somebody who has
 never
 been indicted, that doesn't make any sense to me."
 Behind the scenes, Kendall and Ray's office worked on a deal to avoid
 a
 grand jury indictment.
 Ray had said the decision on a Clinton indictment was the last
 remaining
 business he had in the independent counsel probe that has spent more
 than
 $50 million since 1994.
 President and Hillary Rodham Clinton were never formally accused of
 any
 wrongdoing in the Whitewater investigation, though their business
 deals
 were investigated and several of their associates convicted.
 Their former Whitewater business partners, James and Susan McDougal,
 were
 convicted of fraud in a 1996 trial in which Clinton testified by
 videotape.
 Longtime Clinton friend Webster Hubbell, Mrs. Clinton's former law
 partner,
 also pleaded guilty to wrongdoing.
 Ray's predecessor, Kenneth Starr, was asked by Attorney General Janet
 Reno
 to expand the investigation beyond Arkansas to the White House's
 improper
 gathering of FBI files, the firing of White House travel employees
 and
 ultimately the Lewinsky matter.
 Clinton was forced to testify before a federal grand jury about his
 relationship with the intern and to make a dramatic national apology
 in
 August 1998 after months of denying an affair.
 Weeks later, Starr sent a report to Congress saying there was
 evidence of
 impeachable offenses by Clinton.
 The House, mostly along party lines, voted to impeach the president
 that
 December, but the Senate acquitted

Fat Lies

The fat are on the march, demanding their slice of civil rights.

Well,  okay, they are making a pit stop at McDonald’s first. But as
soon as  they’ve finished grazing they’ll tell you how horribly unfair
it is that the world has not been supersized to accommodate their
swelling numbers.  Their XXL bums don’t fit in size 16 seats and
they have higher rates  of cancer, diabetes and heart disease–or,
as they say in the civil rights biz, these victims are systematically
denied access to public facilities and suffer discrimination in the
area of healthcare.

Incidentally,  the "victims," borrowing from the queer playbook, do
want to be called "fat," although the word "overweight" grosses
them out. As for the medical term "morbidly obese," the quacks
can drop dead.

To advance the idea that the fat should be added to the growing list
of groups entitled to not just freedom from discrimination but, this
being America, to preferential treatment as well, it is necessary to
convince everybody that weight isn’t a matter of personal choice.
According to the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance,
the heavyweight "human rights organization working to eliminate
discrimination based on body size," weight is indeed an immutable
personality trait, much like skin color or sex. And since it is wrong
to discriminate against people for characteristics they cannot
control, it is wrong to discriminate against those who are fat.
NAAFA wants to see height and weight included as a protected
category in the civil rights statutes. One state, Michigan, and two
municipalities, Santa Cruz and San Francisco, prohibit
discrimination based on weight, while Washington, DC, outlaws it
on the basis of personal appearance. The world-class San
Francisco Ballet School has already been accused of
discriminating against a fat applicant.

The party line among the fat activists is that their people cannot or
do not want to lose weight. The pharmaceutical companies and the
medical establishment are simply exploiting and harming a
vulnerable population that is, or would be were it not for external
pressures, happy the way it is. Drawing on old-school Marxism,
the size-acceptance movement even considers fatism, like racism
and homophobia, part of complex power relationships where some
have all the power while others are marginalized and discredited.
In the U.S., more men than women are fat, but to the feminists,
"Fat is a Feminist Issue." Preferring their own reality, they consider
being fat an act of an antipatriarchal rebellion, a deliberate rejection
of the male-imposed ideal of female beauty.

While this explanation remains hugely popular among campus
feminists, it goes against  the NAAFA’s dogma, which holds that
people cannot control their size, and is also contrary to the
association’s experience with Fat Admirers, an officially recognized
cadre of male loyalists who attend the organization’s
conventions in the hope of making everyone’s dreams come true. A
subgroup of these romantics, known affectionately as "feeders" or
"encouragers," get their jollies by watching their partners expand to
even more humongous proportions by continuously spoon-feeding
them like, as one observer noted, "foie gras farmers."

Weighing in against the mass of propaganda that the solution to
being fat is not to lose the extra pounds but to revel in them are the
neo-Puritans who maintain that citizens have a moral duty to
preserve their health, and that anything pleasurable, such as
drinking and smoking, should be proscribed or, in the case of
eating, severely limited. All religions involve self-discipline and
periodic purgation–note the correlation between the decline of
traditional religions and the increase in obesity–but where the old
faithful invoked only the moral authority of God, the modern-day
zealots call on the power of the state to punish the wicked.
One would think that the fat would be libertarians, but apparently to
live and let live is even for them too hard to swallow. They want to
be free, and more  power to them, to engage in behavior our
masters have demonized as "risky," and yet at the same time they
insist that the sensitivity police be on full alert whenever their
feelings get hurt.

Which way do they want it? Either we limit the scope of
government and agree that  the target of civil rights grievances
should be state, not private, conduct,  no matter how odious the
latter may be, or stop acting surprised when government
watchdogs come sniffing into every corner of our lives.

Being   obese is probably no picnic, but personal discomfort or
insults are not something  that a reasonably free society should or
could legislate away. Besides, if  the fat are entitled to special
protection, what about the stupid, the kleptomaniacs,   the
pedophiles? Are they not equally deserving, are they not also
victims of ostracism, do they not suffer

[CTRL] Book Review: The True Martin Luther King, Jr.

2001-01-19 Thread Amelia

-Caveat Lector-

For once I am spared being the one to point out an
unpleasant truth to the liberals on this list.  This is a
current book on MLK plagiarizing and womanizing.  He was
once stabbed in the chest by a husband of one of his
conquests and some of the "beatings" he incurred had nothing
to do with civil rights but rather his lurid lifestyle.
Another book at Amazon.com "Plagiarism and the Cultural
Wars" is available for any who doubt these charges.  This is
why the title "Dr." is not always used but then revisionists
are annually busy distorting the truth.  The University of
British Columbia or U of Vancouver actually uses the
writings of MLK as an EXAMPLE of plagiarism, partial and
total, along with stating what will happen to their own
students who do such things.  I will see if I can locate it
if anybody is truly interested which I doubt as I only see
oeple interested in having their intractable beliefs
validated instead of wanting to learn truth.  Truth is
subjective but such things as MLK's plagiarism is documented
line by line with the original text.

And yes, many ministers have affairs and do all sorts of
horrible things but they do not have a national day
celebrating their goodness.  They are not held up to the
entire nations as examples for us all to follow as MLK and
Jackson are. And as testified to in congress, the FBI was
watching King not because of his race but because of his
communist ties and funding.  Both sides of the civil rights
movement received $ from commies as this was during the
build up of the Cold War.

Again, I have the info on the Canadian University on another
computer but will find it if anybody is really interested
enough to read it.  I will post if requested,  This is the
ONLY person this nation devotes an entire day to him and him
alone.  I wonder what the blacks who did not cheat and
womanize think of the rewards given to those who do as it
has been "justified" because he was black and oppressed.

Book Review: The True Martin Luther King, Jr.
by Wayne Jackson



Article Description
 This is a review of Professor Michael Dyson's new book,
The True Martin Luther King, Jr.


 Any student of recent American history knows that one of
the significant figures in the civil rights movement was
Martin Luther King, Jr. And though some of his methods for
achieving racial equality were not consistent with New
Testament principles for changing wrong attitudes, America,
nonetheless, owes a great deal to him.

In Martin Luther King's famous "I-have-a-dream," speech
(1963), he poignantly expressed the hope that someday his
four children would be able to "live in a nation where they
will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the
content of their character." Character indeed.

However, if the famous civil rights leader had been judged
more by the content of his character than by his civil
rights activities, he would have carved a far different
niche in history. At least that is the conclusion one might
draw after reading Michael Eric Dyson's new book, I May Not
Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King, Jr. (Free
Press, 2000).

Lest anyone should think that Dyson is some radical racist
out to "lynch" King's historical legacy, that is far from
the case. The black minister and professor (DePaul
University; Columbia University - African American Studies)
contends that Martin Luther King, Jr. was "arguably, the
greatest American ever produced on our native soil." Many
would suggest that descriptive is a gross exaggeration.

But in spite of such a laudatory accolade, Dyson honestly
exposes some of King's egregious character flaws - though he
attempts to rationalize them.

The thrust of Professor Dyson's book is this: Martin Luther
King, Jr.'s image has been so glamorized by the popular
press over the years (among blacks and whites alike), that
the current black generation is inclined to distance itself
from its prominent leader. The author characterizes King as
a "safe Negro" with whom white people became comfortable.
Dyson, therefore, attempts to humanize (even radicalize)
King, so that modern black people, especially the younger
generation, can identify with him.

In order to remove what he calls King's "soapy" and
"sanitize[d]" image, Professor Dyson felt obligated to throw
the floodlight upon the more unsavory elements of King's
life. For example:

King's critics have long noted that much of the civil rights
leader's academic writings were plagiarized. Dyson concedes
the point, but justifies the conduct by suggesting that this
tendency had its roots in a "black tradition" of borrowing
and expanding the ideas of other people. [Note: That
"tradition" is not limited by ethnicity.]
He contends that "King's plagiarism at school is perhaps a
sad symptom of his response to the racial times in which he
matured." And so, King stole from the writings of others
because of his "black" heritage. But what of the thousands

EXAMPLES

1. INTRODUCTION
Plagiarism is a serious academic offence. Each year a number
of cases of plagiarism are brought to the attention of the
Dean of Arts and the President's Office. Depending on the
severity of the offence, students found guilty of plagiarism
may lose credit for the assignment in question, be awarded a
mark of zero in the course, or face suspension from the
University. Most cases which pass through the Dean's office
result in at least a temporary suspension from the
University (permanently noted on the student's transcript)
and a mark of zero.



2. WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
Complete plagiarism
Near-Complete plagiarism
Patchwork plagiarism
Lazy plagiarism
Self plagiarism


Most simply, plagiarism is intellectual theft. Any use of
another author's research, ideas, or language without proper
attribution may be considered plagiarism. Because such
definitions include many shades of accidental or intentional
plagiarism, these need to be described more fully.

Complete Plagiarism
 This is the most obvious case: a student submits, as his or
her own work, an essay that has been written by someone
else. Usually the original source is a published journal
article or book chapter. The use of unpublished work,
including the work of another student, is just as serious.
 In such cases, plagiarism cannot be "avoided" by
paraphrasing the original or acknowledging its use in
footnotes. The work is the property of another author and
should not be used. See Example #1

Near-complete Plagiarism
 A student may also lift portions of another text and use
them in his or her own work. For example, a student might
add her or his own conclusions or introduction to an essay.
Or a student might scatter his or her own comments through a
text taken substantially from another source.
 These practices are unacceptable. Even with some
attribution, the bulk of the work has been done by another.
See Example #1

Patchwork Plagiarism
In many cases, a student will lift ideas, phrases,
sentences, and paragraphs from a variety of sources and
"stitch" them together into an essay. These situations often
seem difficult to assess. Most essays, after all, are
attempts to bring together a range of sources and arguments.
But the line between plagiarism and original work is not
difficult to draw. See Example #2

Lazy Plagiarism
Lazy plagiarism crops up in many student essays, and is
usually the result of sloppy note-taking or research
shortcuts. Examples include:

 inadvertent use of another's language, usually when the
student fails to distinguish between direct quotes and
general observations when taking notes. In such cases, the
presence of a footnote does not excuse the use of another's
language without quotation marks.
 use of footnotes or material quoted in other sources as if
they were the results of your research.
 sloppy or inadequate footnoting which leaves out sources or
page references.

Although it may not be the student's intention to deceive,
it is often difficult for instructors to distinguish between
purposeful and accidental plagiarism. See Example #3

Self Plagiarism
 The use of an essay written for one course to satisfy the
requirements of another course is plagiarism. Students
should not use, adapt, or update an essay written for
another purpose.
 This is not intended to discourage students from pursuing
specific interests. If you want to use a previously
completed essay as a starting point for new research, you
should receive the instructor's approval and provide her or
him with a copy of the original essay. If you want to use
substantially similar essays to satisfy the requirements of
two related courses, you should get approval from all the
instructors concerned.

3. AVOIDING PLAGIARISM
research
writing
footnoting
editing


It is not hard to draw the distinction between original and
thoroughly plagiarized work. But the "grey areas" between
these extremes are more vexing. Students should avoid any
hint of dishonesty by maintaining good research habits and
paying attention to a few basic rules of writing and
documentation.

Deep Ecology: Canadian Member of Parliament speaks at UFO conference

speaks at a UFO Conference
   October 14, 2000

I would like to thank Ms. Louise Hardy for the
kind words and her wonderfully supportive
opening remarks at the Yukon UFO
Conference. A brave move on her part.  A
true highlight of the conference! She has
contributed greatly in bringing the subject of
UFOs to the forefront.

 Martin Jasek

Well I'd like to thank Martin Jasek for
inviting me and I want you to know how
hard he has worked on this.

He's come to my office at different times
over the years to let me know what work
he was doing, the reports that he was
compiling and I was impressed with how
serious Martin was and the fact that he
has a very scientific background, and
he wanted to bring the study of
unidentified objects to the forefront and
to a more normal area because it does
come with stigma, and I know that. I've
had a few nudges and winks when I tell
people that I'm coming to the UFO
Conference.

But I remember being a teenager, and
the curiosity we have. I think drive and
curiosity are so important because it is
about wanting to know what it is that is
around us, not just our own lives, not
just our own planet. We know that
there's a wider world out there and I see
this work as people coming together to
investigate and study that wider world
so I hope everybody enjoys the
conference and I hope that you know
that you are on the cutting edge here!
There's not too many places that have
UFO Conferences so congratulations!

Offbeat: Bush Web Intrigue by Johnny Angel
Edited by Gale Holland

Secret Service intimidates anti-Bush webmaster

The 2nd of January was already a pretty rotten day for Wheaton, Maryland,
resident Mike Hershdorfer, laboring at his computer under the pall of one of
the harshest Eastern winters on record. But it got a lot rottener at 2:20
p.m.,
when the Webmaster for the anti-Bush political site
www.bushoccupation.com answered a knock at the door to find two Secret
Service agents and a
Montgomery County police officer.

The agents gave a vague explanation of investigating a tip about Web-site
activity, Hershdorfer said. As he
stood in the doorway with the dogs barking, the agents repeatedly pressed to
enter his home. “I got the
distinct impression that they were not going to leave unless I let them
inside, so I did,” Hershdorfer
recalled in an interview this week.

The agents declined to say who made the tip, or what was said. They asked
Hershdorfer for a list of Web
sites he had visited, and for permission to search his house and review his
medical records. They also
asked him how he felt about the Clintons and Bush — and whether he had ever
threatened to blow up the
White House. Meanwhile, the police officer stood in the corner, saying he was
there “to protect me,” an
incredulous Hershdorfer remembered.

In the course of the hourlong interrogation, Hershdorfer’s roommate Patty
happened to telephone. After
he had explained the situation, she rang up her lawyer stepfather, who
instructed her to tell Hershdorfer to
keep quiet and to refuse a search.

Hershdorfer told the agents he suspected the tip had come from someone with
the right-wing Free
Republic Web site, which he had begun monitoring following media accounts of
Freeper harassment of
Democratic veep candidate Joe Lieberman and others. “I told the agents I felt
intimidated and that my
rights were under threat,” Hershdorfer said. They packed up their notes and
left.

Hershdorfer told OffBeat he closely monitors bushoccupation.com and a related
e-group; neither has
posted a threat, he claims. “I’m trying to organize in the middle left, not
with people who want to blow
things up,” he said. The strongest language on bushoccupation.com is: “We are
dedicated to opposing the
extraconstitutional and illegitimate occupation of [the] U.S. government by
George W. Bush and the
people using him as a front man for the extreme right-wing anti-democratic
operatives.” Hershdorfer also
has put up “Wanted” posters with photographs of the five U.S. Supreme Court
justices who halted the
Florida ballot recount, handing Bush the presidential election.

Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin refused to comment on Hershdorfer’s case,
but said it’s standard
procedure to investigate any report of a threat against the president or
president-elect. “It only takes a
minute to pull a post off a Web site, as you know,” said Mackin. “We don’t
care about anyone’s
politics.”

Hershdorfer remains shaken by the experience, and thinks that he will
probably never know who his
accusers were — just that they made a miserable day more miserable. Mission
accomplished, one
imagines.

[CTRL] Robber Baron Era Is Back

Annual Analysis of UN Report on Global Investments 2000

"Robber Baron" Era Is Back

Surge in Cross-border MA’s Fuels Concentration of Corporate Power

PHOENIX, Jan. 19 - The “Robber Baron” era in the American history
reached
its apex some one hundred years ago.  “The public be damned,” railed the
railroad tycoon, Cornelius Vanderbilt.  But an alarmed Congress mounted
concerted efforts to reign in the unchecked power of large industrial
corporations that were shaking the United Stated of America right down
to
its constitutional roots.  This led to Sherman and Clayton Acts, two
pieces
of antitrust legislation that are still the law of the land today.  As
Bill
Gates and Microsoft found out last year.

But the menacing industrial Hydra has sprung new heads, especially in
the
waning decades of the 20th century.  And there is as yet no Hercules in
sight who could slay that Hydra.  Giant national corporations have
mutated
into even more awesome multinational or transnational behemoths.  And
even
these terms are misnomers, since such companies actually operate on a
supranational basis.  They lay down new laws or try to break through
existing ones.  Just as the Greek philosopher Solon (c. 630-c. 555 BC)
noted 28 centuries ago.

So as we enter the Third Millennium, the world is now facing the same
nemesis America did a century ago.  Only on a global, rather than a
national scale.  The brute “might is right” and “money is might”
philosophy
is once again threatening Homo Sapiens’ finer endeavors.  “The public be
damned.”  It’s just that instead of the industrial tycoons’ driving the
trend, this time around, it is Wall Street that’s wagging everyone’s
tails,
transforming transnational corporations into mighty multinational
whips.  And “MA is the way!” …it is done (here’s a Wall Street slogan
by
Annex Research for Madison hucksters).

What makes all this possible, of course, is technology.  Transnational
corporations (TNCs) are now able to disperse physical production around
the
globe in search of the lowest labor rates, and then integrate it
effectively thanks to falling transportation and telecommunication
costs.

In short, the physical factory has dropped down the food chain to a
commodity level and into the realm of a local economy.  Thanks to
falling
transportation and telecommunication costs, the physical plant has been
supplanted (pun intended) by a Global Virtual Factory.  The latter is

It’s an ideal world from a TNC perspective.  It’s a potential nightmare
from a Homo Sapiens’ vantage point.  Because it may lead to a new form
of
slavery.  And usury.  Man’s enslavement by the Almighty Dollar.

All levers man has devised so far to control unchecked power are still
at
the local or national levels.  Yet most of the corporate power is now
escaping through existing legal hatches into the free and open global
air
ABOVE and BEYOND the local legislators.  Trying to put that genie back
into
the bottle is like catching air.  The only way it might be done is by
creating a global political regime - the dreaded One World Government,
of
which the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), etc. are the
founding elements.

We say “dreaded” because the TNCs can influence and control such a
global
government more easily than a myriad of national or local legislative
bodies.  After all, the UN, the EU, the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank,
etc.
ARE creations of the globalist bankers, such as Rockefellers,
Rothschilds,
etc.  And these folks haven’t impressed the world as shiny examples of
civil liberties champions, have they?

Furthermore…

   Did you know that the U.S. tax authorities made income tax
“adjustments” in favor of the 156 American and 236 foreign-based TNCs to
the tune of $1.5 billion in 1994?

   Did you know that 61% of the American and 67% of the
foreign-based
TNCs PAID NO U.S. INCOME TAXES in 1995?

Which means that Vanderbilt’s infamous “the public be damned” comment
from
a century ago is slowly becoming a reality today.

Well, with that “cheery” preamble, let us now dig into the flesh of the
matter…

   MA Leads the Way!

Our annual analysis of the United Nations World Investment Report 2000
shows that cross-border mergers and acquisitions (MAs) are the drivers
behind the globalization trend.  Their ultimate objective is
concentration
of market power in few but mighty hands.  And with no such thing as a
global trustbuster in sight, Wall Street’s MA push is well on its way
to
achieving that goal.

In 1999, for example, cross-border MAs accounted for $720 billion, or
90%
of the total foreign direct investment (FDI) outflows made by the global
TNCs ($800 billion).  Or about 83% of the world’s total FDI inflows
($865
billion) during the same period.

So Prudy - maybe now the Boy Scouts will be safe from the sodomists for
they are after all, a Christian Order with high moral standardsbut
then nobody is perfect.

Do not believe American people really cared if Clinton wanted to engage
in activities with sodomists - it is just that in the Oval office, well
then it became a public matter especially when you had the Mossad and
who knows what else, listening to the Presidents phone calls but of
course, they had tapped little Monica's phone.

To me the greatest thing is the firing of Linda Tripp - oh so many phone
calls Tripp tapping little Monica and the Mossad tapping little Monica
and little Monica pouring out her heart knowing wthout a doubt, her line
was tapped - even to the power ties the President would wear and what it
meant.

And Mark Fuhrman - of course he does not care who he goes after for all
make fast buck.

But little Linda Tripp - new face job, and all set to go into the big
time - it seems to me she spent a lot of time on the job snooping into
business that was none of her concern

what is that old line, she was so busy tending to someone elses vinyard,
she neglected her own?

But she was all set to make the rounds and now. Lets Make A Deal and
Linda Tripp is firedbecause she refused to resign.

How would you like a Linda Tripp working with or for you watching every
move..and wasn't she the last person who saw Vince Fosteroh such
a busy body, but she was working for the Pentagon?   And spilling her
guts of TV.

What did she know that was so secret?  Maybe it takes a thief to catch a
thief, but someone told the President is line was being tapped and
little Monica was shuffled off to greener pastures.

Was glad to see Linda Tripp fired.such loyalty should not go
unrewarded - but to whom was she loyal?

Clinton Accepts 5-Year Law Suspension
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Clinton-Indictment.html?pagewant
ed=all

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 2:35 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Clinton admitted Friday for the first time that
he made false statements in the Monica Lewinsky case and entered into a deal
with prosecutors to avert an indictment. He surrendered his law license for
five years and agreed to pay a $25,000 fine.

``I tried to walk a fine line between acting lawfully and testifying
falsely, but I now recognize that I did not fully accomplish that goal and
that certain of my responses to questions about Ms. Lewinsky were false,''
the president said in a statement read by White House press secretary Jake
Siewert.

``I hope my actions today will help bring closure and finality to these
matters,'' Clinton said.

Referring to the Lewinsky case, Clinton said: ``I've apologized for my
conduct and I've done my best to atone for it with my family, my
administration and the American people.

``I have paid a high price for it, which I accept, because it caused so much
pain to so many people.''

The deal will spare the nation the prospect of seeing a former chief
executives put on criminal trial. Clinton will have immunity from further
prosecution under the deal with Independent Counsel Robert Ray.

The deal effectively brings to an end the six-year Whitewater investigation
that began with questions about the Clintons' Arkansas land deal but
expanded to his conduct in the Oval Office.

``He made the deal because he wanted to put this behind him,'' said White
House press secretary Jake Siewert.

``He wants to put this behind him, enter life as a public citizen ... get a
fresh start,'' Siewert said.

In a sidewalk news conference minutes after Siewert spoke, Ray said,
``Fifteen months ago I promised the American people I would complete this
investigation fully and promptly. Today, I fulfill that promise. ... This
matter is now concluded. May history and the American people judge that it
has been concluded justly.''

Siewert said the statement brings ``complete closure'' to both the
independent counsel's investigation and the Arkansas Bar committee case
without indictment or disbarment. He said, however, that neither the
president's statement nor the consent order relates to the president's grand
jury testimony.

``The president believes that that testimony'' to the grand jury ``was in no
way evasive, misleading or false,'' Siewert said.

However, Clinton testified in the Paula Jones case in January 1998 that he
didn't recall being alone with Lewinsky and denied having sexual relations
with her.

Siewert said the action represents the conclusion of the Lewinsky
investigation by the office of the independent counsel ``without the filing
of any criminal charges, the obtaining of any plea or the acknowledgment of
any criminal conduct.''

Ray, who took over the investigation more than a year ago, had been using a
grand jury to decide whether Clinton should be indicted for perjury and
obstruction of justice after he leaves office on Saturday.

Ray reached the deal with Clinton's attorney, David Kendall.

The deal addresses the remaining legal issues from the president's affair
with Lewinsky, a former White House intern, which prompted his impeachment
by the House in December 1998 and acquittal in a Senate trial the following
February.

The Arkansas Supreme Court had begun proceedings to revoke Clinton's law
license, but the president has now agreed to have the license suspended for
five years.

In addition to impeachment, a federal judge fined Clinton for misleading
testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit that helped spur the
Lewinsky revelations.

In recent months, Clinton had defiantly and repeatedly suggested that he
would fight any indictment by Ray.

``I don't believe that I should be charged,'' Clinton said in an interview
with ''60 Minutes II'' in December. ``If that's what they want, I'll be
happy to stand and fight.''

Last April, Clinton told a conference of newspaper editors that he would not
ask his successor for a pardon. ``I don't think it would be necessary. I
won't be surprised by anything that happens, but I'm not interested in being
pardoned.''

In recent days, however, even Republicans who had long criticized Clinton
had urged there be no such trial.

The Senate Judiciary Committee's top Republican, Orrin Hatch of Utah,
suggested that President-elect Bush pardon Clinton to ``end a problem in
America that needs to be ended.''

Bush responded by saying, ``I think it's time to get all of this business
behind us'' and let Clinton ``move on and enjoy life and become an active
participant in the American system.'' Regarding the possibility of a pardon,
Bush

  MILITARY USES DEPLETED URANIUMFROM THE SANCTIONS CHALLENGE of the 
  INTERNATIONAL ACTIONCENTER(Reports from Baghdad, Iraq and Amman, 
  Jordan)A investigating team from a U.S. solidarity delegation 
  toIraq on Jan. 18 found "extremely high levels ofradioactivity" in 
  soil samples in the Iraqi desert south ofBasra. In that region during the 
  1991 war against Iraq U.S.forces fired hundreds of thousands of shells 
  reinforced withdepleted uranium.Former U.S. Attorney General 
  Ramsey Clark and New Mexicanactivist and researcher Damacio Lopez had 
  separated from themain body of Clark's International Action Center's 
  50-person"Iraq Sanctions Challenge" to collect the soil samples. 
  On Jan. 19, Clark was scheduled to report his team'sfindings of 
  high radiation levels at a news conference atthe Italian Parliament in 
  Rome. He planned to condemn thePentagon's use of DU weapons in Iraq and 
  Yugoslavia anddemand that scientists from these countries be included 
  inthe investigation of the dangers to humans of DU.A storm of 
  protest in Europe has brought to internationalattention the threat to 
  soldiers and civilians frompollution by radioactive and toxic DU shells in 
  Kosovo andBosnia. There have already been massive protests in 
  Greece,with hundreds of Greek soldiers demanding they leave 
  Kosovo.Other protests are planned in Italy and Portugal andmeetings 
  have been held in Belgium, France and Spain.From Amman, Jordan, 
  IAC co-director Sara Flounders said that"while DU poisoning of European 
  and U.S. soldiers arecriminal, the poisoning and pollution of the civilian 
  areasof Kosovo, Bosnia and to an even greater degree Iraq are

 Scientists Bring Light to Full Stop, Hold It, Then Send It on Its Way
 By JAMES GLANZ


 The New York Times



 researchers say they have slowed light to a dead stop, stored it and
 then
 released it as if it were an ordinary material particle.

 The achievement is a landmark feat that, by reining in nature's
 swiftest and
 most ethereal form of energy for the first time, could help realize
 what are
 now theoretical concepts for vastly increasing the speed of computers
 and
 the security of communications.

 Two independent teams of physicists have achieved the result, one led
 by Dr.
 Lene Vestergaard Hau of Harvard University and the Rowland Institute
 for
 Science in Cambridge, Mass., and the other by Dr. Ronald L. Walsworth
 and
 Dr. Mikhail D. Lukin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
 Astrophysics,
 also in Cambridge.

 Light normally moves through space at 186,000 miles a second.
 Ordinary
 transparent media like water, glass and crystal slow light slightly,
 an
 effect that causes the bending of light rays that allows lenses to
 focus
 images and prisms to produce spectra.

 Using a distantly related but much more powerful effect, the
 Walsworth-Lukin
 team first slowed and then stopped the light in a medium that
 consisted of
 specially prepared containers of gas. In this medium, the light
 became
 fainter and fainter as it slowed and then stopped. By flashing a
 second
 light through the gas, the team could essentially revive the original
 beam.

 The beam then left the chamber carrying nearly the same shape,
 intensity and
 other properties it had when it entered. The experiments led by Dr.
 Hau
 achieved similar results with closely related techniques.

 "Essentially, the light becomes stuck in the medium, and it can't get
 out
 until the experimenters say so," said Dr. Seth Lloyd, an associate
 professor
 of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of
 Technology who
 is familiar with the work.

 Dr. Lloyd added, "Who ever thought that you could make light stand
 still?"

 He said the work's biggest impact could come in futuristic
 technologies
 called quantum computing and quantum communication. Both concepts
 rely
 heavily on the ability of light to carry so-called quantum
 information,
 involving particles that can exist in many places or states at once.

 Quantum computers could crank through certain operations vastly
 faster than
 existing machines; quantum commmunications could never be
 eavesdropped upon.
 For both these systems, light is needed to form large networks of
 computers.
 But those connections are difficult without temporary storage of
 light, a
 problem that the new work could help solve.

 A paper by Dr. Walsworth, Dr. Lukin and three collaborators - Dr.
 David
 Phillips, Annet Fleischhauer and Dr. Alois Mair, all at Harvard-
 Smithsonian - is scheduled to appear in the Jan. 29 issue of Physical
 Review
 Letters.

 Citing restrictions imposed by the journal Nature, where her report
 is to
 appear, Dr. Hau refused to discuss her work in detail.

 Two years ago, however, Nature published Dr. Hau's description of
 work in
 which she slowed light to about 38 miles an hour in a system
 involving beams
 of light shone through a chilled sodium gas.

 Dr. Walsworth and Dr. Lukin mentioned Dr. Hau's new work in their
 paper,
 saying she achieved her latest results using a similarly chilled gas.
 Dr.
 Lukin cited her earlier work, which Dr. Hau produced in collaboration
 with
 Dr. Stephen Harris of Stanford University, as the inspiration for the
 new
 experiments.

 Those experiments take the next step, stopping the light's
 propagation
 completely.

 "We've been able to hold it there and just let it go, and what comes
 out is
 the same as what we sent in," Dr. Walsworth said. "So it's like a
 freeze
 frame."

 Dr. Walsworth, Dr. Lukin and their team slowed light in a gas form of
 rubidium, an alkaline metal element.

 The deceleration of the light in the rubidium differed in several
 ways from
 how light slows through an ordinary lens. For one thing, the light
 dimmed as
 it slowed through the rubidium.

 Another change involved the behavior of atoms in the gas, which
 developed a
 sort of impression of the slowing wave.

 This impression, actually consisting of patterns in a property of the
 atoms
 called their spin, was a kind of record of the light's passing and
 was
 enough to allow the experimenters to revive or reconstitute the
 original
 beam.

 Both Dr. Hau's original experiments on slowing light, and the new
 ones on
 stopping it, rely on a complex phenomenon in certain gases called
 electromagnetically induced transparency, or E.I.T.

 This property allows certain

 ***Media Research Center CyberAlert Special***
 4:15pm ET, Friday January 19, 2001

 Text of a Media Reality Check "Quick Take," put together this
 afternoon by the MRC's Rich Noyes, about ABC News coverage a bit
 past 2pm ET today for the Clinton-Ray deal:

 RAY USED "SLEDGEHAMMER" TO FORCE "BITTER PILL" ON CLINTON

 PETER JENNINGS SAID IT IS A "VERY SAD" WAY FOR CLINTON TO LEAVE

 During ABC News live coverage this afternoon of a deal between
 Independent Counsel Robert Ray and outgoing President Bill
 Clinton, anchor Peter Jennings complained that the prosecutor had
 used his "enormous leverage" to force Clinton to admit he had
 testified falsely in the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit in
 January, 1998.

 "I gather that the Independent Counsel must have been hitting
 these people with a sledgehammer in the final days of the
 presidency," Jennings griped to ABC political analyst -- and
 former Clinton aide -- George Stephanopoulos.
 Stephanopoulos agreed that the deal was "a bitter pill," but
 lectured the audience that Clinton had not been forced to "admit
 to criminal conduct."

 Jennings presented Clinton as the victim. "His critics will not be
 disappointed to see this happen, and his enemies too, nonetheless,
 it's a very sad, almost tragic way for the President to spend his
 last day in office," he mourned.

 Stephanopoulos also went out of his way to praise Robert Ray for
 not indicting his old boss: "I think he's likely to be seen by a
 lot of political observers as one of the wisest people to come out
 of this. He didn't go over the line, unlike what a lot of critics
 said about Ken Starr."

[CTRL] Judicial Watch Slams Ray-Clinton Deal

 Judicial Watch Slams Ray-Clinton Deal

 Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton slammed the expected "no
 prosecution"
 deal between President Clinton and the Office of Independent Counsel
 Robert
 Ray Friday afternoon, saying that Clinton instead deserved a 25-year
 jail
 sentence.

 "With this deal, Robert Ray has abused his office," Fitton told
 NewsMax.com. "Ray is supposed to investigate and prosecute crimes,
 not to
 extract meaningless letters of apology from criminal wrongdoers."
 Ray is believed to have agreed not to indict Clinton in exchange for
 a
 written admission that he "misled" prosecutors while under oath.

 "This shows how corrupt the system truly is," Fitton added. "Any
 other
 person would be sent to jail for 25 years for Clinton's crimes."

 Fitton noted that Clinton had not only committed perjury, but
 "threatened
 witnesses, tried to intimidate prosecutors and bribed witnesses with
 government jobs."

 The notion that a letter of apology would suffice, he said, "shows
 that
 Ray's respect for the rule of law is almost as bad as Clinton's."

 Judicial Watch has filed over 50 lawsuits against the Clinton White
 House
 and currently represents key Sexgate witnesses Gennifer Flowers,
 Kathleen
 Willey, Juanita Broaddrick and Dolly Kyle Browning.

University of Albany Suspends Mind Control Implant Research Project

The University at Albany, N.Y., has shut down a research project investigating the 
claims of individuals who believe that they were surgically implanted with 
communications devices which can read and transmit their thoughts.

Professor Kathryn Kelley, a fully-tenured psychology professor at the University at 
Albany, has focused her work in recent years on surgically-implanted mind control 
devices. A brief statement released in August by university spokeswoman Mary Fiess 
said, "The university imposed the suspension [of Kelley's research] because of serious 
concerns that the experiment did not meet the standards governing such projects on 
campus. While we're working to gather all the facts in this case, we cannot comment 
further."

That same week, according to the Albany Times-Union, all professors and graduate 
students at the University at Albany were instructed in a memo to refer all calls 
"looking for information on any psychological research conducted in our department" to 
the university's public relations office.

Sources in the psychology department told the Times-Union that the school's 
Institutional Review Board closed the project after receiving a complaint filed last 
spring by a student who reportedly was not allowed to leave a lecture that was part of 
Kelley's experiment -- an alleged violation of National Science Foundation guidelines.

However, researchers also have ethical obligations to fully brief human subjects on 
the experiment in which they will participate, and to fully debrief subjects after the 
experiment is concluded. There has been no clarification of the exact circumstances of 
the student's complaint. Although Kelley has declined to speak to the press regarding 
the suspension of her research, colleagues told the Times-Union that she had privately 
claimed that "the university is violating her academic freedom."

University at Albany sociology Professor David Wagner, the outgoing chair of the 
Institutional Review Board, told the Times-Union that shutting down a professor's 
research was "quite rare." The suspension of Kelley's research is the first such 
incident at UAlbany since the early 1970s. The university reportedly considers the 
ongoing investigation of Kelley's work to be "highly sensitive."

In 1995, gunman Ralph Tortorici held a class of 37 students hostage at the University 
at Albany, claiming that the government had planted microchips in his body. Tortorici, 
who shot one of the students during a struggle, reportedly hanged himself in his state 
prison cell last summer.

Kelley earned her Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1977, and her earlier research had 
focused on issues such as date rape, risk-taking, and gender differences. In spring of 
1998, according to the Times-Union, the university's psychology department first 
became aware of Kelley's interest in mind control technology when she posted a note on 
her office door announcing a lecture called "The Psychology of Invading the Self." The 
note reportedly described implant research funded by the National Security Agency and 
the Department of Defense with an annual budget of $2 billion. The note stated that 
the devices were typically implanted in "uninformed, unconsenting subjects" who were 
usually "federal prisoners and political dissidents."

Also in the spring of 1998, the school's Institutional Review Board approved a 
research project by Kelley to explore "advances in technology that affect 
interpersonal communication." Kelley filed a 16-page outline with the board which 
described her plans to investigate uses of technology for "monitoring and control." 
According to the Times-Union, Kelley's outline proposed "presenting a lecture to 
research subjects and then having them respond to 60 questions about how the case 
study she would describe affected their views."

A graduate student who worked on Kelley's project said that the research was intended 
to examine how people would perceive individuals with microchip implants, and whether 
there might be a social stigma attached to having such implants.

At the 1999 annual conference of the Eastern Psychological Association 
(www.easternpsychological.org), held in Providence, R.I., Kelley delivered a paper 
that examined microchip implant claims "as one of the indicators of schizophrenia."

In August 1999, Kelley delivered a paper to the "World Multiconference on Systemics, 
Cybernetics and Informatics" (www.iiis.org/sci97.htm) in Orlando, Fla., which 
described the use of devices she called RAATs -- Radio wave, Auditory, Assaultive, 
Transmitting implants -- which could be implanted in a subject during anesthesia. The

Mississippi releases papers from secret state commission 

By PAUL PAYNE, Associated Press

 JACKSON, Miss. (January 19, 2001 3:43 p.m. EST http://www.nandotimes.com)

 - An investigator from a secret state agency concluded in 1964 there were no
signs of foul play after he examined the burned-out station wagon of three
civil rights workers who vanished in Mississippi. The revelation about the
infamous case, in which the three turned out to have been slain, was included
in 1,800 pages of documents released Thursday from the files of the
state-funded Sovereignty Commission. It was the third and final cache of
papers released by the state and shed new light on some of the darkest days
of the civil rights struggle. Documents show the commission, which was
created in 1957 and disbanded in 1973, kept tabs on more than 87,000
suspected subversives and civil rights sympathizers. Headed by state
legislators, governors and white businessmen opposed to desegregation, the
group was pledged to preserve the status quo in the segregated South. "It's a
very important story that needs to be told so that Mississippians can
understand what happens when the government is allowed to operate in
secrecy," said David Ingebretsen of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Documents show the group played on the fears of blacks and others by using
tactics that sometimes cost civil rights sympathizers their jobs. In one
document, a commission agent who examined the three freedom riders' station
wagon said there was "no physical evidence that these three civil rights
workers have met with foul play other than the burned car, which could easily
be part of a hoax." The bodies of the workers, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman
and Michael Schwerner, were later found buried beneath an earthen dam. No one
was ever convicted in the killings. Some scholars said the agency appeared to
be a cross between the Keystone Kops and the Soviet Union's KGB. "It had a
certain comic quality to it, but their actions also had some vicious
results," said Joe Parker, a political science professor at the University of
Southern Mississippi. Parker said the spy group had produced a primitive
documentary-style segregationist propaganda film called "Message from
Mississippi." "They were nefarious on the one hand and inept on the other,"
said Jerry Mitchell, a veteran newspaper reporter portrayed in the 1996
civil-rights movie "Ghosts of Mississippi". The spy agency was disbanded
after Gov. William Waller vetoed funding in 1973. The Legislature tried to
seal the documents but a federal judge ordered them made public in 1998. Some
are available on the Internet. "We're now filling in the gaps in what is
probably the most important chapter in this state's history," Ingebretsen
said. A total of 132,000 pages of commission documents have been made public
since 1998.



[CTRL] Youth Violence-Media Nexus-BOLLOCKS!

Surgeon general's youth-violence report backs media, experts say
By Alicia Benjamin-Samuels
The Freedom Forum Online
01.19.01

Although a report issued this week by Surgeon General David Satcher mentions 
a link between media violence and youth violence, several First Amendment 
experts say the report does more to vindicate, rather than condemn, the media.
"The report well establishes, contrary to the media-violence campaigners' 
claims, that we (the media) are not creating a culture of violence among our 
youth, nor are there any substantial adverse long-term effects," said Robert 
S. Peck, a Washington, D.C., constitutional lawyer.
The report "found that it was extremely difficult to distinguish between the 
relatively small long-term effects of exposure to media violence and those of 
other influences," according to a press release issued by the surgeon 
general's office on Jan. 17. However, the report does say, "Research to date 
justifies sustained efforts to curb the adverse effects of media violence on 
youths."
"The issue of the role of the media in youth violence is an important one, 
and some people expected it to be a major focus of our report," Satcher said 
in a Jan. 17 CNN chat room discussion. "But, in the report, while we point 
out that exposure to violence in the media — especially television — can 
significantly increase aggressive behavior in youth, it is not a major 
long-term factor in violent behavior." He said more research should be 
conducted to discover what causes youth violence.
The White House and Congress requested that the youth violence study be 
conducted in 1999 after two Columbine High School students in Colorado killed 
12 students and a teacher before committing suicide. A shooting at a 
Baltimore high school happened about an hour before Satcher released the 
report's findings, according to an Associated Press article.
A team of researchers, assembled by the National Institutes of Health, 
prepared the report.
The report suggests that factors, other than media violence, threaten to 
cause violence among young people. "The major factors today fall into the 
categories of individual and environmental factors," Satcher said in the CNN 
chat room discussion. The report also says that a failure to recognize the 
true nature of the youth violence problem can "obscure the need for informed 
policy or for interventions."
Joan Bertin, executive director of the National Coalition Against Censorship 
agrees with Satcher's assessment that other factors contribute to youth 
violence.
"The report recognizes that violence is an extremely complex issue and quick 
fixes won't do and can actually be harmful and distract attention from more 
profitable avenues and research," Bertin said. "The report leaves media 
influences in a very marginal place," she added.
Bertin said Satcher's report is similar to one issued in 1994 by the National 
Academy of Arts and Sciences on violence that pointed to environmental, 
biological, social, economic and personal factors that influence violent 
behavior among all people, not just youth.
Peck says that those who use the surgeon general's report to support 
government limitations on media violence would be misusing it.
"Even the surgeon general, who obviously was seeking to find a significant 
connection between media violence and real violence, could not, and instead 
recommended 'efforts to curb adverse effects,' " Peck said. "I read that as 
support for more media education, not for censorship."
Bertin says she hopes the surgeon general's report will allow people to 
discuss the debate over whether media violence influences youth violence more 
dispassionately and clearly.
"It's simply wrong-headed to take the shootings at Columbine High School and 
say if kids don't watch violence on television and don't play video games 
then they won't commit violent acts," she said.
Marjorie Heins, director of the Free Expression Policy Project in New York, 
says the causes of youth violence are complex and grow out of family and peer 
group relationships. "Media violence is not a significant factor and 
censoring media violence will do nothing to resolve the problems of troubled 
youth," she said.
The report "focuses on real causes of problems of youth violence," Heins 
said. "The media is a very minor insignificant factor in this report, which 
criminologists have been saying for 10 years or more."
In the press release issued by Satcher's office, the surgeon general said 
it's important that the nation confront youth violence "systematically using 
research-based approaches and to correct damaging myths and stereotypes that 
interfere with the task at hand."
Heins agrees.
"Hopefully, the report will help focus policy makers on real solutions to 
this problem rather than headline-grabbing, but ultimately senseless, 
censorship proposals."

Ashcroft approval rising
Poll also finds Bush numbers remain consistently favorable




By Jon Dougherty
 2001 WorldNetDaily.com



As Senate Judiciary Committee hearings into Attorney General-nominee John
Ashcroft stretched into Day No. 3, a new poll says Americans are giving the
former U.S. senator higher approval ratings than before the hearings began
earlier this week.

On Tuesday, the committee opened hearings with contentious questioning from
veteran senators about Ashcroft's Christian opposition to abortion, his
pro-Second Amendment views and his opposition to one of President Clinton's
nominees to the federal bench.

According to Portrait of America, 43 percent of Americans now rate him
favorably, compared to 36 percent Jan. 9.

In Thursday's poll, POA analysts said 25 percent of Americans were "not
sure" how they viewed Ashcroft, compared to 35 percent last week.

Meanwhile, POA said, "President-elect George W. Bush's job-approval rating
remains virtually unchanged."

Bush, who will be inaugurated tomorrow in Washington, D.C., has an overall
favorable rating of 50 percent among Americans, who rated his performance as
president-elect as "excellent" or "good." Forty-six percent said his
performance has been "fair" or "poor."

"This rating has remained mostly unchanged since the U.S. Supreme Court
decision on the election," analysts said.

Rasmussen Research conducted this national Portrait of America telephone
survey of 750 likely voters on Jan. 15, 2001. The margin of sampling error
is plus or minus 4 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

The Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold three hearings with Ashcroft
this week.

The featured witness Thursday was Missouri Supreme Court Justice Ronnie
White, an African-American who was nominated to the federal bench by Clinton
in 1999. His nomination was opposed by Ashcroft, who called him
"pro-criminal" in his opposition to the imposition of the death penalty in
key high-profile cases in Missouri.

Democrats and certain advocacy groups, including Rev. Jesse Jackson --
embroiled in a new scandal of his own -- according to reports on Thursday,
have tried to label Ashcroft a racist, despite his support for 26 out of 28
minority nominees as a U.S. Senator.

So the first question is: "Why is the "hole" over

The earth is tilted about 23 and one-half degrees

This is why we have the summer-winter cycle.
During the weeks around the summer solstice
(mid-summer in the northern hemisphere),
the South Pole has little or no sunlight.
It actually remains dark 24 hours a day right
around the solstice.
Sothere is very little sunlight on and over
the South Pole during this period.
Sunlight (solar radiation) is what produces the
ozone layer.  When high energy ultra-violet
hits oxygen molecules in the upper atmosphere
it produces an unstable oxygen radical called
"oh-three" or ozone.  The ozone is unstable and
constantly breaks down.
Think of ocean foam at the seashore.
The foam is continually being produced by the
waves breaking on the beachand the foam is
continually breaking down.
But the total amount of foam is more or less
constant.  This is about like the ozone layer.
It is continuously being replenished by the
action of sunlight on the upper atmosphere.
However, as has been explained,  there is not
much sunlight over the South Pole during mid-summer
in the northern hemisphere.
Sonot much sunlight means there is not going
to be much ozone.
The alleged news media calls this the "ozone hole".

Bottom line is this: The earth's weather is being
modified. The ionosphere is being manipulated by
a new and mostly secret technology.
This has been going on for at least 20 years.
CFCs are not the problem.
It is a "cover story" to provide a plausible
explanation for the changing weather patterns.

much sunlight over the South Pole during mid-summer
in the northern hemisphere.
Sonot much sunlight means there is not going
to be much ozone.
The alleged news media calls this the "ozone hole".

Bottom line is this: The earth's weather is being
modified. The ionosphere is being manipulated by
a new and mostly secret technology.
This has been going on for at least 20 years.
CFCs are not the problem.
It is a "cover story" to provide a plausible
explanation for the changing weather patterns.

Secret Gulf meet focuses on Kashmir jehad, Osama
Shishir Gupta
(New Delhi, January 19)

IN THE wake of UN sanctions on Taliban, leaders of pan-Islamic jehadi groups met in 
Saudi Arabia this month to deliberate on the strategy on key issues such as Osama Bin 
Laden and Kashmir.

Government sources indicate that in the garb of undertaking a piligrimage to Mecca, 
six jehadi leaders met in Jeddah between January 3 and 5, earlier this month. It is 
understood that the secret conclave was attended by Hizbul-Mujahideen supreme 
commander Syed Salahuddin, a representative of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) and two persons 
from Taliban militia. The meeting did not have the patronage of the ruling Saudi royal 
family.

It is learnt that the overall focus of the meeting was on developments in Afghanistan 
against the prospect of tough UN sanctions on Taliban rulers. While the UN Security 
Council announced sanctions last December, they were imposed on Taliban Friday after 
the ruling militia failed to hand over Osama Bin Laden within the one-month stipulated 
period.

However, jehad in Kashmir apparently also figured in the meeting with pan-Islamic 
groups advocating in favour of continuing violence in the strife-torn state. It is 
reported that the conclave was a "success" with Islamic militant groups vowing to 
continue jehad against the Indian forces in Kashmir.

The Indian security forces have not initiated any combat operations against Kashmiri 
militants after Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee announced unilateral ceasefire 
from November 28.

While speaking in Udipi yesterday, Prime Minister Vajpayee had adopted a tough stand 
on the continuing cross-border terrorism in Kashmir and has asked Pakistan to rein in 
the jehadi groups.

The Indian formulation for resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue is hinged on Pakistan 
condemning terrorist violence. Vajpayee said the Pakistani argument that violence 
would stop once talks resume was "strange", and neither convinced India or the 
international community.

The leaders in the meeting at Jeddah mainly focused on UN sanctions on Taliban, which 
call for closure of military camps in Afghanistan. Besides militant training camps in 
the PoK, virtually all pan-Islamic groups such as LeT, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Al Badr 
have training camps in Khost and Jalalabad area of Afghanistan.

US Admits To Mad Sheep, Deer, And Elk But Claims Nary A Case Of Mad Cow...
By Lucrezia Cuen 1-17-01
www.abcnews.com
LONDON - The United States already has mad sheep, mad deer, and mad elk, but
the government has issued assurances there is no mad cow disease, not yet.

However, the spread of mad cow disease across Europe is already having a
damaging effect on the U.S. blood supply and the worst may be yet to come.

Three flocks of "mad sheep" were diagnosed in Vermont six months ago. A fatal
"mad deer" disease is occurring at epidemic levels in deer and elk across the
Western states. Both of these diseases are closely related to mad cow
disease, or BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) a chronic wasting disease
spreading across Europe and linked to a deadly human variation called CJD.

The U.S. government has banned beef from BSE-infected countries, ordered
vaccines from infected countries replaced and has placed bans on certain
blood donations.

Efforts to protect America's blood supply from mad cow contamination by
donors who may have eaten contaminated beef have already reduced the blood
supply by 2.2 percent, the Red Cross reports. That translates to
approximately 300,000 units or pints of blood, which is more than 120,000
transfusions.

New proposals could raise that percentage exponentially.

Blood Ban

Two years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered a ban on British
blood in an effort to protect against BSE, CJD and another human counterpart,
vCJD (variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease).

Anyone who has lived in the United Kingdom or Ireland for more than six
months between January 1980 and December 1996 is prohibited for life from
donating blood.

The six-month benchmark was chosen when studies showed banning everyone who
visited Britain during that period would devastate the American blood supply.

Expanding the Ban Now, with reports of BSE and vCJD spreading to Germany,
France and beyond, the bans on blood donations may be extended to include
people who have spent time in other European countries.

"Our bottom line is safety," says an FDA spokeswoman who asked not to be
identified. "These are precautionary measures. The FDA will review residence
of blood donors in France, and other BSE countries including Germany. We are
concerned both about blood safety and maintaining an adequate supply of blood
products."

This means if you've traveled or studied in Europe or if you are a member of
the military stationed in Europe, your blood may be suspect.

U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Dave Lee is one of hundreds of thousands of U.S. military
personnel and their families already banned from donating blood.

"I feel disappointed that I can no longer help anybody," says Lee, whose type
O-negative blood once made him a universal donor. "But I'm also relieved the
powers that be are taking measures to protect the blood supply."

In recent weeks Germany has confirmed its first cases of BSE. New cases have
been reported in France and the Netherlands. The disease has also been found
in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Spain and
Switzerland.

Risk for Hunters

In addition to travelers and military personnel the FDA is also considering
banning blood from tens of thousand of hunters, including those who took part
in the fall 2000 hunting season.

Mad deer disease, also called chronic wasting disease or CWD, has hit a full
15 percent of free-ranging deer and elk in northeastern Colorado and
southeastern Wyoming.

Three young hunters exposed to mad deer disease died in the past three years
of CJD. Although medical experts from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention found no evidence of a link, CDC epidemiologist Dr. Ermias Belay
says, "This does not totally exonerate CWD from being a human pathogen."

Cruel and Miserable Death

The government concerns about BSE and CJD are well founded. The new variant
CJD has no cure and no reliable test. People can be suspected of carrying the
disease, but diagnosis is only confirmed in post mortem examinations of the
brain.

Although leading scientists believe it is carried in the blood, currently
there is no blood test that will expose it.

The wasting disease attacks the brain, slowly eating it away. Early symptoms
include depression and unusual sensory sensations like a sticky feeling to
the skin.

Victims, young and old, fall ill and over a matter of months, slowly lose
their sight, their hearing, and their minds. By the time of death they can't
move or speak. Since October 1996, variant CJD has killed more than 90 people
in Europe, more each successive year.

Due to the growing concern, the FDA is meeting on Jan. 18 to consider
expanding the blood ban from people who have lived in Europe.Canada has
already taken emergency action banning blood donations from people who lived
in France more than six months between

By M.W. Guzy
MILITARY SPENDING

The Military-Industrial Complex is about to enter middle age. Though its
roots predate WWII, it was formally christened 40 years ago this month
when Dwight Eisenhower, in his farewell address, warned of its growing
influence.

Lending credence to Mr. Eisenhower's remarks is the fact that his
predecessor, Harry Truman, agreed with him. He grudgingly admitted to
biographer Merle Miller that the Pentagon was "probably necessary" but
added, "It's not right to have all those people in one building without
a single watchdog. . . . We're all in trouble . . . when the generals
get that much power." Any time bitter political adversaries reach the
same conclusion, you've got to respect their reasoning.

The warning of Truman and Eisenhower may have transcended party
affiliation, but it has been ignored in equally bipartisan fashion. In
the last presidential election, for instance, both major candidates
advocated increased military spending. The unanimity of this call for
arms was all the more remarkable because America already spends more on
defense than the next 12 largest nations combined.

The numbers involved here are mind numbing. The Bulletin of the Atomic
Scientists estimates that the program cost for the Joint Strike Fighter
could reach $750 billion. Micky Blackwell, aeronautics chief for
Lockheed Martin, referred to the JSF as a "trillion- dollar contract."
The Congressional Budget Office places the U.S. outlay at a mere $219
billion. Lurking somewhere among all those zeros are a lot of tax
dollars. And the JSF is only one of four new warplanes under
development.

The operation of existing aircraft doesn't come cheaply either. It costs
$11,000 an hour to fly a B-1b bomber. That turns out to be a bargain, as
the same ride in a B-2 will set you back $14,000. The latter plane,
incidentally, set a modern practical performance record when its
manufacturer managed to locate subcontractors in 383 out of 435
congressional districts.

Clearly, national defense is a legitimate priority. The problem is that
with the Soviet Union out of business, there's nobody left in our weight
class to fight. No nation can come close to matching the conventional
forces we already have in place.

In fact, nobody's even trying. Our enemies now attack us in rubber boats
and rental vans -- so-called "asymmetrical" strategies designed to
circumvent, rather than confront, military might.

The paradox of modern defense is nowhere better illustrated than in the
plight of the F-15, a plane that is about to go out of production
because of its unparalleled capabilities.

According to the USAF, the F-15 "can penetrate enemy defense and
outperform and outfight any current enemy aircraft."

During the Gulf War, it recorded a confirmed kill ratio of 26:0. Not one
of these planes has ever fallen prey to enemy fire. Because the F-15 has
been operational since 1979, the Pentagon considers it to be obsolete
and now wants to replace it with newer aircraft. Of course, the plane
has been continuously upgraded throughout its production run.

Calling it a 21-year-old aircraft is a lot like arguing that a 1979
Chevrolet is the same car as the 2001 edition. Be that as it may, the
proposed F-22 is slated to take its place.

The manufacturer of the F-15, Boeing Corp., is having trouble finding
foreign buyers for the plane. The stumbling block is not the age of its
design, but its price.

Our allies apparently feel that cheaper aircraft are adequate to their
needs. If relatively affluent democracies can't afford to buy the F-15,
what are the odds that potential adversaries in impoverished nations
like Russia, China, Iraq and North Korea are going to be able to develop
and mass-produce comparable aircraft?

The Bulletin also reports that to justify building the F-22, threat
assessments were made of rival air forces, including those of Canada,
Australia and Sweden. Sweden? It had been my understanding that aside
from Nobel Prizes, the major export of that tranquil kingdom was Playboy
centerfold models. If we ever went to war with these people, our primary
challenge would be convincing our POW's to come home.

To further thwart the Swedish peril, however, the Department of the Navy
has inked a huge contract for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet to meet its
aircraft carrier needs.

Paralleling all of these programs is the X-45A, a drone aircraft that,
if perfected, could make manned combat planes obsolete. It can be
operated four at a time, by a ground-based geek at a computer terminal.
To see how this might work, buy your kid a Playstation 2.

We enter the 21st Century locked in a mortal arms race with ourselves.
Though the needs for more advanced weaponry are at best unclear, we

 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 Gore’s 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 Castro’s 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 Jackson’s 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 Jackson’s
 advisers during his futile run for the presidency. Wilkins was Jackson’s 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
 Jackson’s 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 America’s 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 . . .” That’s 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

"Why is California  short on Electricity ?


You should TRULY learn the fucking difference between
PRIVATE and GOVERNMENT.


California's Enemy: The State
by Thomas J. DiLorenzo

California is a beautiful state with a (mostly) mild,
sunny climate, which is one reason why so many people
live there.  But who would want to move there, it is
often asked, if one had to endure chronic water
shortages, earthquakes and now, "rolling
blackouts?"  These events are typically blamed on either
Mother Nature or the free market, but in reality they are
either caused or exacerbated by government regulation.

California's politicians have been quick to blame
the current electricity "shortages" on "deregulation"
when in fact the opposite is true:  Although wholesale
electricity prices have been deregulated, retail prices
have not, and regulation has all but prohibited the
building of additional electricity supply capacity.

The population has doubled in the past ten years, which
has caused about a one-third increase in electricity
demand, whereas supply has remained stagnant thanks
to the environmentalist extremists in the state
government.  These neo-luddites have blocked nuclear
power plant construction; they have vetoed the building
of additional dams for hyrdoelectric power (lest some
aquatic creepy crawlers be disturbed); and are nearly
apoplectic in their opposition to coal- or natural
gas-fired electric power plants.

Ballooning demand, restricted supply, and price
controls are a perfect recipe for shortages.  Complete
deregulation of the electric power industry is the only
way to resolve this problem, although California's
governor is currently proposing the worst of all
worlds:  a Soviet-style government takeover of
the state's electric power industry.

California's periodic water "crisis" is another
unnatural disaster caused by government regulation.
The big problem is that most of the water in the state
has been regulated for decades by the Federal Bureau
of Reclamation, which heavily subsidizes the irrigation
which delivers water from the northern part of the
state to the bone-dry southern part. (Seventy-five
percent of the water comes from the north, whereas
75 percent of the population is in the southern half
of the state).

Some 85 percent of the water is used for agriculture
and is sold at government-imposed, below-market
prices.  Some farmers pay as little as $3.50 per
acre foot for water that costs $100 per acre foot
just to pump through the government-run irrigation
system.  At these prices it is "economical" to grow
cotton and rice in the desert, even though the
Mississippi Delta and the rice paddies of Vietnam
are more natural habitats for these crops.
California grows prodigious amounts of both.

Government-subsidized water use for one purpose
alone -- irrigating pastures for grazing sheep -- exceeds
the water used for all other purposes in California,
residential and industrial.  In one recent year $530
million in taxpayer dollars were spent on pumping this
water to sheep ranchers when the gross revenues of
the sheep ranching industry in that year were less
than one-fifth of that amount, $100 million.

Meanwhile, cities throughout the state suffer such
severe "water shortages" from time to time that
government toilet monitors have been employed to
enforce three-flushes-a-day regulations.  (I am
not making this up).

The Federal Bureau of Reclamation's crazy central
planning scheme is the main cause of California's
periodic water supply crises.  As with electricity,
only a free market in water can put an end to the
insanity.

Even California earthquakes would not be as devastating
were it not for government regulation.  Federal disaster
insurance allows residents to purchase homeowners'
insurance at subsidized rates, sometimes at one-tenth
the free-market price. Federal disaster insurance is
sold where no private insurer would even consider it,
such as insuring houses built on top of earthquake
faults or on the edges of muddy cliffs overlooking the
ocean.  The government is subsidizing the building of
houses that are sure to be destroyed by earthquakes
and winter storms.

Government building code regulation also has a tendency
to encourage builders to meet the minimum requirements
set by government, but no more.  Alternatively, if
private insurance markets were used to assure building
safety, standards would be much higher, and earthquake
damage less severe.  And, of course, a notorious source
of governmental bribery and corruption would be eliminated.

The millionaire socialists from Hollywood who pour
millions into state political campaign coffers are
largely isolated from all these disasters.  They live
in mansions far away from earthquake faults; the lights
are never turned off in their neighborhoods; and they
have enough political clout to buy all the

So here we go..the Astrological Attributes of the Twelve Tribes.

Now Dr. King, was of the Tribe of Gadthe Overcomers - this was a
black masonic order no doubt, not affiliated with regular
masons.maybe a renegade lodge?

Now I am of the Tribe of Dan - in the Clan of Dan you find us.   Dan,
was God's Judge as I recall.

So in Deuteronomy you also find these attributes of the 12 tribes..

In Ezekial 38 and 39 you see the murder of the President of the United
States - Tribe of Dan for this is seal of the President - the bough in
one hand and arrows in the other - the Eagle symbolizes tribe of
Dan..where the carcase is the Eagles will assemble maybe.

Masonry is fascinating stuffbut I say this, Baby Bush and Papa
Bush will know the imposters.

Remember Charles Mason shooting Judge masonic signals in Court and that
guy probably would have liked to choke himbut then in prison, Manson
had enough control over his zombies to nearly pull off the murder of
Gerald Ford - and then of Course, remember RFK - gunned down by little
Sirhan, but he had had dinner with Tate and Abigale Folger who later
would be murdered by Manson familyalways loved that name
"Manson"...do not believe that was this short little creeps real
name.

Never under estimate a gentleman C...

Imposters beware - they already caught the KGB after they formed the KKK
for Walker spies.

This ought to be a fun four yearsand here is my missing page which I
reproduce.

I did not tear this out as of late,  but remember Jean Dixon who marked
the Kennedys over and over for murder, was Astrologer or claimed to be
one..shades of Daniel and Ezekial.

Chapter
Genesis 49
Compare with Revised Standard Version: Gene.49
 1: And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves
together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last
days.
2: Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken
unto Israel your father.
3: Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my
strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4: Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to
thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
5: Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their
habitations.
6: O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine
honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in
their selfwill they digged down a wall.
7: Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was
cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8: Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be
in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down
before thee.
9: Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he
stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse
him up?
10: The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between
his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the
people be.
11: Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice
vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of
grapes:
12: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13: Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an
haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
14: Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
15: And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant;
and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
16: Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17: Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth
the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18: I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
19: Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
20: Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal
dainties.
21: Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22: Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose
branches run over the wall:
23: The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made
strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the
shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25: Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the
Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings
of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26: The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my
progenitors unto the utmost bound of the
