-Caveat Lector- 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.

[CTRL] The Unelected Resident
-Caveat Lector- The Unelected Resident 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

[CTRL] US Admits To Mad Sheep, Deer, And Elk But Claims Nary A Case Of Mad Cow...
Now it looks as if hunters will not be needing those guns after all as the wildlife is now somehow mysteriously infected with "mad whatever" disease. Does anybody have anything more on wildlife in this country being so infected with this form of "mad cow" disease and people dying from hunting because of it? Another link in the food chain goes and we are more at the mercy of Monsanto than ever (or whatever they are calling themselves now after the name-change). And are pets next? IMHO Amelia---From: [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
[CTRL] Fw: [CTRL] The Dorian Gray Legacy
-Caveat Lector- 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 nation. I will also bet there are a few places where she will not be welcomed, too.

The Dorian Gray Legacy Diane Alden Jan. 18, 2001 What is wrong with this picture? Whatever "gravitas" Senators and Representatives Kennedy, Boxer, Durbin, Franks, et al. ever had, they have blown. They have been Clintonized, which is something like Martinizing, I suppose, in that it protects them from anything approaching common sense and decency. Their attacks on their former colleague are not only unprofessional, they are also ludicrous. Democratic Ashcroft-bashers know their Senate colleague to be a good and decent man, certainly not a racist, a fair man, discerning and thoughtful, a person who holds beliefs which (God forbid) are Christian. The hearings, however, serve another purpose - they do show us a picture of America that is frightening. According to the left, John Ashcroft's sins include the fact that he is not pro-abortion, he believes in the Second Amendment to the Constitution, he actually upholds the spirit as well as the letter of the law in the various offices to which he has been elected. His actions as governor and senator have shown that he has integrity. Many of his former associates have said so. However, members of the left - 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
[CTRL] WP: Deutch May Plead Guilty to Misdemeanor, Avoid Prison Time
-Caveat Lector- 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.

[CTRL] WP: Los Alamos Lab Employees Won't Be Indicted in Security Lapse
-Caveat Lector- 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. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] WSJ: Farewell
-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 Ive 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 with a
[CTRL] WT: National security roulette
-Caveat Lector- January 19, 2001 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

Re: [CTRL] MLK PhD was....Fw: Re: [CTRL] (no subject)
-Caveat Lector- 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 to College it was rather

Use a little imagination and consider word Chariots - in Ezekial I believe it is said "neither is there any end to their chariots" for even 2,000 years ago, we see too many chariots on the road.

[CTRL] Clinton eyes $650,000 taxpayer-paid office space
http://www.wnd.com/frame/direct.asp?SITE=dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010118/p l/clinton_costs_1.html Thursday January 18 6:27 PM ET 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. WorldNetDaily.url
[CTRL] Ashcroft approval rising
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=21401 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.

[CTRL] Jackson Reveals Out of Wedlock Kid/The News
-Caveat Lector- 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. 18-Jan-01 07:28 EST A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

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
[CTRL] HPPF: The Innocence of Peace
-Caveat Lector- [With Israeli elections for Prime Minister rapidly approaching, even though the settlers are a very small minority of Israel's population (albeit, one of the more vocal, and radical of Jewish mind sets in the region), if even a modicum of understanding is desired, then the following perspective must be taken into consideration. --MS] -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 13:52:49 +0200 From: Hebron [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HPPF: The Innocence of Peace 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. Maariv newspaper reports that she introduced herself as an American tourist. According to one of Ofirs 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 Ofirs clothing, and finally, his picture. When the identification process was successfully concluded, Ofirs 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 Haaretz 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 Israels 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 dont 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 to site, from

[CTRL] Tryanny Personified
-Caveat Lector- ~~for educational purposes only~~ [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

Where was Jesse while millions of illegal aliens were brought to America by Corporate America (and their corporate flunkies - those Corporate Foundation funded "immigrant's rights" groups)? These millions of illegal aliens have impoverished the Black Community by keeping lower scale wages rock bottom.

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.

For a while a few years back I lived next to an Assembly of God church in Panama City, Florida. The preacher, a rather dull looking, slightly paunchy, middle-aged white man seemed to entertain a different lady of his congregation just about every day. Now his congregation didn't live next to the church, but my girl friend faced one aspect, another friend faced the opposite aspect, and I had a clear view as the two of them came out of the church, she going to the ladies' room, and he to the men's room. Now the place was a blaze of Christianity from early Sunday morning until on into the night, and I'm sure that everyone there felt truly reverent. It's just that through the week, a few transgressions were accepted. Over the years, I've seen many, many situations of this kind. I'm sure there are ministers who do not have affairs with women other than their wives, but there are lots of them who seem to circulate rather freely. So Jackson is just another one of them.

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

PART ONE 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

PART TWO- Hinckley Related To Bush? 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 after Haig for weeks, they simply continued this line into their coverage of the White House scene that afternoon. Haig had appeared before the television cameras to say '
[CTRL] A Murder in Congo
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 Rwanda forces who were backed by the U.S. The big question is, did he ever seriously side with the US or did he opportunistically use the U.S. to get in power? A lot of people claim the U.S. was never happy with him at the head of the AFLD. (This was the party Kabila headed up. It was kind of a front organization for the Rwandan invasion.) He was identified with that generation of Congolese leaders that the West despised so much, people like Patrice Lumumba. (1) But whatever his original allegiance, he more or less threw out the West, abrogated contracts for mineral concessions and the like which were made with Anglo-American partners and most important has refused to pay back Congo's debt to the Western institutional investors. Most of that debt was accumulated by the Western-backed Mobutu regime for its own personal enrichment. As soon as he turned against the West they sponsored a new invasion, a new aggression against the country. Jared: Why don't you talk a little about Patrice Lumumba so readers can get a clearer picture of the background. DB: Patrice Lumumba was a Pan Africanist. In 1960, when Congo was granted independence, Patrice Lumumba became Prime Minister. At the same time, a
[CTRL] Ashcroft and Racism: Breaking the Code
http://www.fair.org/media-beat/010118.html 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.
[CTRL] Mental Illness Or Mind Control? Sacramento,CA
-Caveat Lector- http://www.mercurycenter.com/premium/local/docs/trucker18.htm --- ``he thought he was king of the new world order.'' Published Thursday, Jan. 18, 2001, in the San Jose Mercury News 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

One of the Dem Senators did bring that up. Something like, "Senator Ashcroft, if you did not know what the Sothern Partisan stood for, how is it that you were able to praise them for the work they do?" Ashcroft really stumbled over that answer, stuttering to the effect that one of his assistants had advised him beforehand that it was a good magazine.

[CTRL] Clinton Will Not Be Indicted
-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.

[CTRL] Fwd: William F. Buckley, Jr. - ON THE RIGHT - 01/19/01
-Caveat Lector- William F. Buckley, Jr. - ON THE RIGHT Friday, January 19, 2001 To Subscribe! visit: http://www.shagmail.com/sub/sub-buckley.html 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." To which the
[CTRL] UPDATE-DID BUSH COMMIT PERJURY AFTER GETTING HIS DWI CONVICTION?
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 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? I published your reply because although the
[CTRL] ASHCROFT FUNNELED FORFEITED DRUG BUST MONEY TO COP PALS AND COP CONTRACTORS
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
[CTRL] Fwd: It's a cakewalk for Ashcroft
-Caveat Lector- Online Journal - http://www.onlinejournal.com 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?

[CTRL] Fwd: WW: Clinton Accepts 5-Year Law Suspension
-Caveat Lector- 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
[CTRL] Fat Lies
-Caveat Lector- http://www.nypress.com/frame.cfm?author_id=7site_id=1 Petra Dickenson Feature Fat Lies The fat are on the march, demanding their slice of civil rights. Well, okay, they are making a pit stop at McDonalds first. But as soon as theyve finished grazing theyll tell you how horribly unfair it is that the world has not been supersized to accommodate their swelling numbers. Their XXL bums dont fit in size 16 seats and they have higher rates of cancer, diabetes and heart diseaseor, 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 isnt 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 NAAFAs dogma, which holds that people cannot control their size, and is also contrary to the associations experience with Fat Admirers, an officially recognized cadre of male loyalists who attend the organizations conventions in the hope of making everyones 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 purgationnote the correlation between the decline of traditional religions and the increase in obesitybut 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.
-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. Were not they all? Amelia July 10, 2000 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 of honest

Gordon (Department of History, UBC) Professor Peter Simmons (President's Advisory Committee on Student Discipline, UBC) Dr. Graeme Wynn (Associate Dean of Arts, UBC) The Faculty of Arts The University of British Columbia 1. INTRODUCTION 2. WHAT IS PLAGIARISM? Complete plagiarism Near-Complete plagiarism Patchwork plagiarism Lazy plagiarism Self plagiarism 3. AVOIDING PLAGIARISM research writing footnoting editing 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.

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!

[CTRL] LA Weekly: Secret Service intimidates anti-Bush webmaster
-Caveat Lector- http://www.laweekly.com/ink/01/09/offbeat.shtml January 19 - 25, 2001 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, Hershdorfers 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. Im 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 Hershdorfers case, but said its 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 dont care about anyones 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
-Caveat Lector- - Annual Analysis of UN Report on Global Investments 2000 "Robber Baron" Era Is Back Surge in Cross-border MAs 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. Its just that instead of the industrial tycoons driving the trend, this time around, it is Wall Street thats wagging everyones tails, transforming transnational corporations into mighty multinational whips. And MA is the way! it is done (heres 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 now wrapped inside an Integrated Services offering, Which enables it to deliver products with lightening speed to just about any customer anywhere around the world. Its an ideal world from a TNC perspective. Its a potential nightmare from a Homo Sapiens vantage point. Because it may lead to a new form of slavery. And usury. Mans 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 havent 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 Vanderbilts 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 Streets 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 worlds total FDI inflows ($865 billion) during the same period. The 1999 MAs are

For a while a few years back I lived next to an Assembly of God church in Panama City, Florida. The preacher, a rather dull looking, slightly paunchy, middle-aged white man seemed to entertain a different lady of his congregation just about every day. Now his congregation didn't live next to the church, but my girl friend faced one aspect, another friend faced the opposite aspect, and I had a clear view as the two of them came out of the church, she going to the ladies' room, and he to the men's room. Now the place was a blaze of Christianity from early Sunday morning until on into the night, and I'm sure that everyone there felt truly reverent. It's just that through the week, a few transgressions were accepted. Over the years, I've seen many, many situations of this kind. I'm sure there are ministers who do not have affairs with women other than their wives, but there are lots of them who seem to circulate rather freely. So Jackson is just another one of them.

Re: [CTRL] ASSASSINATION POLITICS
-Caveat Lector- 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.

-Caveat Lector- " First, we must kill all the lawyers." - Bill Shakespeare There will never be justice where lawyers control the Justice System. Joshua2 == January 19, 2001 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

The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, Belgrade, YU U.S. DELEGATION FINDS HIGH-RADIOACTIVITY IN IRAQI DESERTRAMSEY CLARK AND SANCTIONS CHALLENGE HEAD BACK TO EUROPE,U.S. AFTER SOLIDARITY TRIP TO IRAQ/PALESTINIANS CHARGEISRAELI 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 warcrimes. We hold the Pentagon responsible for the damage doneto the population and the environment of the Balkans and ofthe area including parts of Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia."A report from Geneva," said Flounders, "indicates thatbesides depleted uranium, some of the U.S. shells containedmeasurable amounts of plutonium and Uranium-236, even moredangerous pollutants than depleted uranium. This only addsto U.S. culpability in this matter."Today's Jordan Times reports on its front page," continuedFlounders, "that Palestinian organizations have charged theIsraelis with using DU against the Intifada. Through thePentagon, which supplies most Israeli weapons, the Israelimilitary is supplied with DU. We in the IAC had raised lastNovember the possibility that Israeli forces were also usingthis illegal weapon."In the days before the Rome news conference, both the Iraqiand Yugoslav governments had condemned the use of DU ontheir territories. Belgrade said it would demand that theInternational War Crimes Court at The Hague include DU useas a war crime to be investigated. [for reports from Iraqand Yugoslavia see the DU page on the IAC web site atwww.iacenter.org]Background to Sanctions ChallengeThe U.S. group had arrived in Baghdad by air the night ofJan. 13, acting in defiance of the U.S./UN imposed no-flyzones. At a press conference at the airport Ramsey Clarkdeclared, "The US must end the genocidal sanctions againstIraq. The whole world demands that the sanctions be liftedcompletely and immediately."Fifty anti-sanctions activists led by joined a demonstrationin downtown Baghdad at 2 a.m. on Jan. 17 to mark the 10thanniversary of the U.S.-led war of aggression against Iraq.It was at 2 a.m. ten years ago that U.S. and British forcesunleashed rockets and bombs on sleeping Baghdad. The delegation spent the next three days visiting sites thatdemonstrate the consequences of the 10 years of sanctions orthose hit by frequent bombing the past ten years. Sites included a bomb shelter, elementary schools, auniversity, water and sewage treatment plants, andhospitals. The delegation also met with the Iraqi ministerof health, visited a pharmaceutical plant, a school for theblind, the Iraqi Women's Federation and a food distributioncenter.They found that sanctions are still making life extremelydifficult for the Iraqi population and causing needlessdeaths. Yet the mood of the Jan. 17 demonstrators wasoptimistic and combative. In the months leading up to theanniversary, more and more countries had begun individuallybreaking the ban on flights and other sanctions againstIraq. More than 100 flights have entered Iraq in the lastfive months.The delegation delivered over $1.5 million in medical andschool supplies, and plans to deliver more supplies toPalestinian hospitals on the West Bank. In a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz, RamseyClark denounced U.S. policy toward Iraq.
[CTRL] Scientists Bring Light to Full Stop, Hold It, Then Send It on Its Way
-Caveat Lector- Forwarded without comment. Tenorlove ~` http://partners.nytimes.com/2001/01/18/science/18LIGH.html?Partner=AltaVista RefId=_WLmY_WEFnnunuu-ly January 18, 2001 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

-Caveat Lector- ***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." END Reprint __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[CTRL] Judicial Watch Slams Ray-Clinton Deal
-Caveat Lector- Friday Jan. 19, 2000; 1:19 p.m. EST 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.

[CTRL] Psychotronics article
-Caveat Lector- These are the important types of news I highlight daily at http://leviathan.weblogs.com Bookmark it! Make it your homepage! Tell your friends about it! From http://www.davidicke.net/newsroom/global/020100a.html 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.

[CTRL] Mississippi releases papers from secret state commission
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."

-Original Message- From: T Nohava [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, January 19, 2001 6:16 AM Subject: [CTRL] Ashcroft approval rising http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=21401 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.

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.

[CTRL] US Admits To Mad Sheep, Deer, And Elk
-Caveat Lector- From: [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 1-17-01 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

-Caveat Lector- Viewpoints : Fighting fictional foes http://www.postnet.com/eaf.nsf/ByID/86256739007E1131862569D7003F4241 === + Posted: Wednesday, January 17, 2001, 6:09 a.m. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Viewpoints : Fighting fictional foes 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
Re: [CTRL] Jesse Jackson redder than you think
-Caveat Lector- This is stupid Right bullshit. Jackson is a Capitalist millionaire, (and full fleged member of the CFR, and other elite institutions,) whose MAIN JOB is to keep the Black poor from overthrowing an economic system which has, does and will always exploit the guts out of them. He is the most despicable public figure I know. I'm glad he got caught with his pants down maybe this will finish him off in public life. J2 T Nohava wrote: http://www.newaus.com.au/us168jackson.html The truth about Jessie The Red Jackson by Gerard Jackson TNA News with Commentary Thursday 14 December 2000 Four years of political warfare were signalled by Jesse Jackson when he exclaimed: We will take to the streets right now. We will delegitimise Bush, discredit him, do whatever it takes, but never accept him, even threatening a civil rights explosion. Jesse Jackson: reckless dishonest Jackson tried to justify his threat against Bush by saying: I hope today that this court will rule let the vote count. The only way you can determine a legitimate winner is for the votes to count. This statement exposes Jackson as a liar. First, every vote has been counted; second, he supported Gores efforts to literally disenfranchise service personnel plus 25,000 absentee voters from Martin and Seminole counties. The more Jackson opens his sleazy mouth the more he sounds like one of Castros corrupt party hacks, especially the ones that work on the New York Slimes. That Jackson should threaten to subvert a duly appointed president should alert Americans to the lawless nature of the Democrats hardcore supporters and their utter contempt for the rule of law and anything resembling the truth. Part of the problem is that only a tiny per centage of conservatives are truly aware of what kind of political animal Jackson really is, and even they remain silent. I, however, think the time has now come to expose Jesse Jackson as a race-baiting hypocrite and an anti-American activist who wishes his country nothing but harm. One only has to examine Jacksons links to the Marxist Washington-based IPS (Institute for Policy Studies) to gain some understanding of his motives. This is how Brian Crozier described that organisation: The IPS is the perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were too originate openly from the KGB. Crozier is a highly regarded commentator on intelligence matters and was a fellow of the prestigious London-based Institute for the Study of Conflict. His opinion was supported by the fact that the IPS had been a frequent meeting place for known KGB operatives. It also supported every anti-Western terrorist group I can think of as well giving strong support to Castro, which it still does. None of this stopped Jackson from developing strong ties with the institute and taking its advice, far from it. IPS founders Marcus Raskin and Richard Barnett, and institute fellows Roger Wilkins and Robert Borosage all of whom profoundly anti-American and deeply pro-Soviet were Jacksons advisers during his futile run for the presidency. Wilkins was Jacksons key speechwriter and was responsible for his candidacy speech; Wilkins, a fervent supporter of Soviet central planning, advised Jackson on domestic policy while Borosage, an admirer of Castro and other communist thugs, advised him on foreign affairs. Surely that is telling us something about Jacksons true sympathies and his real attitude towards America. In 1984 (a most appropriate year) Gar Alperovitz and Jeff Faux, IPS apparatchiks and communist apologists, published +Rebuilding America, a manual for turning the US into a Soviet-style economy. And who heaped fulsome praise on this totally worthless piece of pro-communist propaganda? You guessed it. God ol Jesse I love Castro Jackson who exclaimed that this economic nonsense would be the economic manual for [my] Rainbow Coalition. Five years later the centrally planned communist states collapsed. The at the IPS is opposed to Americas democratic traditions was made clear when it stated: The Institute for Policy Studies is engaged in a longer and deeper struggle, a struggle over the underlying principles and future direction of the political bankruptcy of the ideas and assumptions now governing America . . . Thats right, folks, the United States Constitution and the Bill or Rights are bankrupt institutions because they serve the interests of the ruling class. In November 1988 the IPS organised a conference called Anti-Communism and the United States: History and Consequences. As you can imagine, those who defended the values of the United States and opposed communist tyranny and the appalling crimes committed by communist states were berated as reactionaries. And guess who was wallowing in this leftwing sewer? No, not Jesse Stick em Up Jackson but Jack ODell who happened to be one of

-Caveat Lector- At 09:41 PM 1/19/01 -0500, you wrote: -Caveat Lector- "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
