[CTRL] Fwd: O'Meara Nails DOJ and Reno in a Lie....
http://www.insightmag.com/archive/200102133.shtml PROMIS Trail Leads to Justice By Kelly Patricia OMeara [EMAIL PROTECTED] Part III of Insight's inquiry into a secret investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police into an alleged scheme to use modified U.S. software for high-level espionage. During an eight-month secret investigation in the United States last year by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), two of its top national-security investigators focused their probe on a former high-ranking Justice Department official alleged to have been involved in the theft of the PROMIS computer program. Subsequent modifications of this software are believed to have yielded secret backdoor access allowing widespread computer espionage. In this, the third of a four-part exclusive series, Insight continues to follow Mounties Sean McDade and Randy Buffam as they pursue allegations that Canadas intelligence and law-enforcement agencies have been operating the stolen version of PROMIS and that their most secret computer systems have, as a result, been compromised. Much of the investigation centered on two men Michael Riconosciuto and Peter Videnieks. The former is a convicted felon who has claimed that he modified a stolen version of the Inslaw-developed PROMIS. The latter is the man fingered by Riconosciuto as a high-ranking Department of Justice official involved in the theft of the software. In Part II of this series (see The Plot Thickens in PROMIS Affair, Feb. 5), Insight took an in-depth look at Riconosciuto and allegations he has made involving PROMIS and other national and international intrigue, including development of a new line of guns and night-vision goggles and a joint venture between a little-known band of American Indians called the Cabazons and the Wackenhut Corp., an international security firm. Other trails led to government-sanctioned drug deals and claims that another former Justice lawyer was involved with the Cali drug cartel. Riconosciutos stories had been dismissed by federal investigators, but the RCMP unearthed evidence that gave them credibility. Whats more, Insight confirmed that Riconosciuto had provided just such startlingly detailed information to an FBI agent well before it had become publicly known. For the Mounties, whose still-secret investigation continues, each layer they peeled back on Riconosciutos stories revealed a path to yet more information that might confirm their countrys worst fears: that key government computer systems were using stolen software that had been modified to allow complete access for espionage. In a 1991 affidavit to William and Nancy Hamilton, the owners of Inslaw who had developed PROMIS, Riconosciuto not only swore that he put the backdoors into a stolen version of the software but also claimed that Videnieks, the Department of Justice official who in the early 1980s oversaw the PROMIS-software contract, participated in the alleged scheme along with a man named Earl W. Brian. Both men, Riconosciuto swore under penalty of perjury, visited him often at the Cabazon/Wackenhut facilities. As with other Riconosciuto stories, the Mounties looked for confirmation and focused intensely on a U.S. Customs Service internal investigation of Videnieks, a contract specialist who was on loan from Customs. Customs conducted a two-and-a-half-year probe of Videnieks because of suspicion he had committed perjury in 1992 while giving testimony in the trial of Riconosciuto, who had been arrested for drug offenses. In an attempt to enter the federal witness-protection program, Riconosciuto told federal investigators that he was set up on phony charges because of the affidavit he gave the Hamiltons. Videnieks has denied any knowledge of such schemes, the first time in sworn testimony during the Riconosciuto trial in Tacoma, Wash., in January 1992. Asked if he knew either Riconosciuto or Brian, and if he ever had been to the Wackenhut/Cabazon joint venture or heard of it, Videnieks responded, No, I dont. No, I dont. No, I havent. Customs soon thereafter launched a far-reaching internal-affairs investigation of Videnieks. However, it is allegations of government interference in the Videnieks case and contradictory conclusions about the basic facts in the legal saga surrounding the Hamiltons allegations of official wrongdoing that the Mounties seem intent on clearing up. For instance, in a January 1988 decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge George Bason (Inslaw, Inc. v. United States of America and the United States Department of Justice), the jurist concluded that Justice Department and unnamed U.S. government officials engaged in an outrageous, deceitful, fraudulent game of cat and mouse, demonstrating contempt
[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] Bush #1 advisor Marvin Olasky
http://www.mediatransparency.org/people/marvin_olasky.asp Fund-0-Meter Olasky's cv page at UT -- -- In the news: (Feb 2000) Conservative William Safire rips Olasky in the New York Times for a hatchet job cover story in the magazine he edits (World) written by Bob Jones, of Bob Jones U. Okasky appeared on the NewsHour on PBS on 2/29/2000 Also see Olasky's CV at the University of Texas-Austin Good bio on Olasky that appeared in the Bush Files by Michael King. Olasky home page at UT Marvin Olasky Marvin Olasky has variously been described as "...a leading thinker and propagandist of the Christian right1," "...the godfather of 'compassionate conservatism2,'" and as a man whose "...historical judgements are so crude and pinched that one suspects his main effect will be to butress the stereotypes of those who are prejudiced against religious conservatives3." In short, Olasky is a complicated yet important figure in the new conservative movement, a peripatetic evangelist serving up a radical vision in which the government's social welfare programs and budgets would be turned over to private, Christian organizations, which will practice tough-love on unlucky recipients, a theory that totally overlooks the fact that the social welfare state sprang up precisely because private philanthropy had failed miserably at providing a basic social safety net. Olasky sports the life story of true believer. Born Jewish, by 14 he was an athiest, in college he became a Marxist/Communist (interestingly, after Communism had pretty much been discredited -- 1971), and now he is a right-wing Christian. Like his colleague Dinesh D'Souza, without the conservative movement and money, Olasky would be but a minor blip on the nation's public consciousness. Olasky first came to prominence with the publication in 1992 of his book The Tragedy of American Compassion, a book funded (like the Bell Curve) by the Bradley Foundation and the Heritage Foundation, where he had applied for a fellowship in 1989. The reaction to his book took place in 1992, with help from Bill Bennett. The right used his critique of the welfare state to gut the nation's welfare laws, but didn't enact any of his program, as reported in the New York Times Magazine in 1999: Initially the book went almost unnoticed, and those few who reviewed it decried it as "romantic," "shallow" and "bizarre" — the work of a "utopian" crank. But although most academics dismissed the book, a small coterie of Beltway conservatives began to circulate it privately. Former Secretary of Education William Bennett hailed it as the "most important book on welfare and social policy in a decade" and handed a copy to the new Republican Speaker, Newt Gingrich. Gingrich read it from cover to cover and liked it so much, he had it distributed to all the incoming freshmen. In his first address to the nation, Gingrich declared: "Our models are Alexis de Tocqueville and Marvin Olasky. We are going to redefine compassion and take it back." Overnight, Olasky, the perennial convert, had seemingly converted an entire party. A small band of policy wonks and legislators — many of whom would go on to work for Bush — began calling themselves "compassionate conservatives." This little-known professor was suddenly a fixture on the television talk shows and in the back corridors of Congress. While slashing the welfare state, Olasky's disciples sought to unleash an outpouring of charitable works through Federal grants, tax credits and partnerships between church and state. These measures represented only the first step in what Olasky regarded as a revolution — turning the Government's responsibility to the poor over to private charities. Yet despite all the lip service paid to compassionate conservative ideas, even these modest initiatives never materialized. Almost all of the proposals, which were sponsored by Senator Dan Coats of Indiana and had names like the Character Development Act, were killed before they even reached the floor — largely at the hands of the same Republicans who had wrapped themselves only months earlier in Olasky's language of compassion. Far from helping the poor, his critics charged, Olasky had provided a smokescreen for guiltlessly cutting back the welfare state. Even Olasky compares what some Republicans did to the poor to pulling the knife out of the back of a person who had been mugged and then leaving him on the street to bleed. "You can't just say, You're fine — get up," he says. "You have to spend a lot of time patching the guy up." But to his critics, Olasky's outrage only seemed like evidence of his naivete. --NY Times Magazine, September 12, 1999 Here is a wonderful extended excerpt from the Bush Files' profile on Olasky: The family also spent two years in Washington, D.C.

""The biggest problem in California is that consumers are still not [responding properly to the 'free market']," Enron Corp chairman Ken Lay announced. ""They are not changing behavior so the problem is going to get worse. Painful as it may be, they need to start modifying their behavior ..." === Clinton declares natural gas supply emergency in California By Tom Doggett WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - President Bill Clinton declared a natural gas supply emergency in California on Friday, and ordered out-of-state suppliers to continue selling gas to California's largest utility to fuel electric generation plants. Clinton directed Energy Secretary Bill Richardson to issue a federal order requiring firms to supply natural gas to Pacific Gas and Electric PCG.N, which is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Richardson said the emergency order, which expires at 3 a.m. EST (8 a.m. GMT) on Jan. 24, was issued after PGE said several energy firms refused to sell it gas on credit because they feared the utility would be unable to pay for the gas. "I am very concerned that such supply disruptions could endanger the health and welfare of PGE's residential and commercial gas customers and could exacerbate the already precarious condition of California's electric grid by eliminating fuel supplies to a number of generating plants," Richardson said. The electricity shortage in the nation's richest and most populous state will be among the immediate issues facing President-elect George W. Bush when he takes office Saturday. A key energy adviser to Bush said the federal government should limit itself to an "advisory" role and let California state lawmakers resolve a complicated problem that was mostly self-inflicted by a flawed deregulation plan. "The biggest problem in California is consumers are not going to see the price signals. If they don't see the price signals, they are not changing behavior so the problem is going to get worse," Enron Corp ENE.N chairman Ken Lay told reporters. "Painful as it is, they need to see the price signals and start modifying behavior to reduce demand until we get new supplies," he added. PGE and Edison International EIX.N have warned federal and state officials they face bankruptcy because California's landmark 1996 deregulation law does not allow them to pass on the tenfold leap in wholesale power costs to consumers. California's woes have also been exacerbate the also have not been helped by the fact that practically no new power generating plants have been built in the state for the last 10 years -- a period during which the population and the economy have boomed, greatly increasing demand for electricity. NATGAS NEEDED TO KEEP UTILITY RUNNING California Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, asked Clinton last weekend for the emergency natural gas supply order, before the state was hit with two days of rolling blackouts and a widening power crisis. Residents in many cities have had to cope with the loss of traffic lights, automatic teller machines, elevators and computers during the rolling blackouts. Richardson said the Energy Department would take legal action against firms that did not comply, saying: "There will be enforcement action if the order is not carried out." On Thursday, PGE said its deteriorating credit rating could force it to drain all its natural gas in storage by early February because suppliers have balked at providing more. The Clinton administration has also tried to help ease the California crisis with a separate order issued on Wednesday that forces out-of-state power generators to sell extra electricity to PGE and to Edison International EIX.N. BUSH READY ON ENERGY ISSUES Richardson said he had briefed his successor, Spencer Abraham, on the California crisis. Abraham, a former Michigan senator, was expected to win swift confirmation by the U.S. Senate as Bush's choice for energy secretary. Richardson said Abraham was prepared, saying: "They are ready to act." He did not elaborate. On Thursday, Abraham testified before the Senate Energy committee but refused to say what options, if any, the Bush administration was considering to help solve the crisis.

[CTRL] BUSH TAKES THE OATH: ANOTHER SHAPESHIFTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE
BUSH TAKES THE OATH: ANOTHER SHAPESHIFTER IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.by David Icke Saturday, January 20th, 2001, will be
remembered as a dark day for human freedom - the day that George W. Bush
took the oath on the same Freemasonic Bible used by George Washington and
became the 43rd President of the United States.It is not George W.
Bush that is truly the problem, it is all that he represents. Bush ("Shrub")
is president in name only, of course. The real power is with others behind
the scenes, like his father George Bush and those of even greater authority
than he, like Henry Kissinger and other leg-men for the Illuminati.
We can see this clearly in the people the Shrub has appointed to
"his" cabinet. It is like a roll call of Illuminati placemen that served
under his father and other child abusers, rapists, and serial killers like
Gerald Ford. Alongside them are a stream of Illuminati operatives from
corporate America, including ALCOA, the Aluminum cartel controlled by the
infamous Mellon family, those close friends of the British royal family. It
is ALCOA and the Mellons who gave us fluoride, a poison and mind
suppressant, in public drinking water.Shrub's vice-president, Dick
Cheney, was his father's Defence Secretary and together they launched the
"NATO" (British-American) war on Iraq in 1991. Cheney, as exposed by Cathy
O'Brien in Trance-Formation of America, is yet another mind controller,
child abuser, and serial killer. Colin Powell, the head of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, was America's highest military commander during the Gulf War
and you do not get to that level unless you know what people like Father
George and Cheney are involved in. Powell, like the Bushes and Cheney, is
bloodline and that's why he is to be the new Secretary of State. Given that
line-up and their mentality and agenda, don't be at all surprised if the
United States finds itself in another manipulated war during this
administration. You will see "monsters" being created in the public mind to
justify such action.The Bush inauguration marks the start of the massive
push by the Illuminati to further their agenda for a global fascist state.
You will see this clearly unfolding in the next 24 months and, as usual,
watch what they do, not what they say. The Bush administration will be a
cold, calculating, vicious, period of human history. I know people who have
met the Shrub during his period as Governor of Texas and cold, calculating,
and vicious, as well as staggeringly unintelligent, are words they chose to
describe him. But those who will be dictating the actions of his presidency
make him look like a puppy dog. Or maybe lapdog would be more
appropriate.Even many of those who still deny any evidence of a global
fascist state emerging before our eyes will be shocked out of their comatose
state by the time the Shrub leaves office. Indeed, probably long before.
[CTRL] Jackson Returning to Public Life
That didn't take long...must have had second thoughts on how he was going to make those hefty child support payments and still buy those expensive suits:-) http://www.newsday.com/ap/text/national/ap718.htm AP National Jackson Returning to Public Life by SONYA ROSS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday he will return to the civil rights stage next week, reversing plans to leave public life to reconcile with his family, devastated by his extramarital affair that resulted in the birth of a daughter. ''The ground is no place for a champion,'' Jackson said. ''The ground is no place that I will wallow on.'' In an interview with The Associated Press -- his first since news about his affair broke last week -- Jackson said he has spent the past few days at home in Chicago with his family, doing ''lots of thinking, lots of praying, reflecting'' about his predicament. Much of the time, he has done this reflection alone, he said, but a lot of it has been with his wife of 38 years, Jackie, and their five children, focusing on ''what we must do to continue to serve.'' It has helped to strengthen their family bond, he said, and made him feel empowered enough to resume his work. ''While my family has wrestled with our options and challenges, we have a rhythm of the family reconciling process, which is way down the road, two years for us,'' Jackson said. ''We will not sacrifice our agenda for social justice and inclusion. ... I'll develop a rhythm that allows me to focus on family and ... the (civil rights) battlefield.'' Jackson said he and his family will worship together at Salem Baptist Church in Chicago on Sunday, and on Monday he will attend a luncheon in Chicago in his honor. But he doesn't plan to speak publicly until midweek, at an annual economic conference that his organization, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, hosts in New York. Sounding both determined and fatigued, Jackson would not talk about his youngest child, now 20 months old, or her mother, former aide Karin Stanford, 39. ''I will not discuss that any further, any more,'' he said. But Jackson did question whether news reports about the matter were timed to thwart him from his varied civil rights causes, such as leading the opposition against the nomination of John Ashcroft for attorney general. To illustrate his point, Jackson noted that Martin Luther King Jr. received a note threatening to reveal King's affairs during the same week that King was awarded the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. And, he said, President Bush ''called it strange and suspicious'' when news reports surfaced about an old drunk driving charge at a crucial time in Bush's presidential campaign. ''A two-year-old story was made public,'' Jackson said. ''So, one can sense that there may be some motivation. But ... I accept my responsibility. What we must do here is put our focus not on my pain, but the people's agenda. ''Sometimes, leaders have to play with pain. I'm feeling well. My family is well,'' Jackson said. During his three days of seclusion, Jackson said he received several calls from fellow activists, politicians and some unexpected public figures, such as the Rev. Jerry Falwell. The most consistent message he received, he said, was ''do not let your voice be stilled.'' Jackson said one of the earliest calls came from former President Clinton, to whose side Jackson rushed when Clinton's own extramarital affair threatened to topple his presidency. Jackson said Clinton encouraged him to determine what best helps him cope, and engage in that activity to heal himself. ''His point was, when he was in the depth of his crisis, he had to work out the contrition with his family. He had to work through it, you know?'' Jackson said. ''As a fighter, I'm determined I'd rather wear out than rust out. Not only are the people calling upon me to serve, I desire to serve. I find fulfillment in service. I find healing in service.'' Jackson also fielded a call Friday from President Bush. He declined to discuss their conversation, but said one of his immediate goals is to assess Bush's administration ''by their budget priorities, by their public policy and by their moral tone.'' ''Someone said a saint is just a sinner who got back up again,'' Jackson said.

[CTRL] WP: Bush Scrambles to Block Clinton Rush Orders
-Caveat Lector- Bush Scrambles to Block Clinton Rush Orders By Eric Pianin Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, January 21, 2001 ; Page A18 President Bush moved swiftly yesterday to block or rescind scores of executive orders and regulations dealing with the environment, health, food and safety, and workplace conditions that were rushed through in the final weeks of the Clinton administration. Under orders from Bush, White House chief of staff Andrew H. Card Jr. instructed the Government Printing Office to halt publication in the Federal Register of any new rules "to ensure that the president's appointees have the opportunity to review any new or pending regulations." Final regulations have the force of law once they are printed in the Federal Register, the government's official organ. The new administration also issued a 60-day stay on regulations that were published in the register but have not yet taken effect. Although other new presidents have issued similar instructions after taking office, Bush and his aides have voiced concern over the number of regulations implemented in the closing days of the Clinton presidency, particularly moves to protect millions of acres of public lands from logging and oil exploration. "President Clinton was very busy issuing final regulations," Bush spokesman Scott McClellan said yesterday. Bush's order gives the new administration "the chance to fully and carefully review all these last-minute regulations. It's our responsibility and it's sound public policy." Bush also ordered a freeze on most federal hiring to give his new Cabinet members the opportunity to put their stamp on the government bureaucracy, and issued a strict code of conduct for members of his administration that focuses on potential financial conflicts of interest. Bush also issued a proclamation declaring today a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, urging Americans to spend their Sunday in prayer and reflection, recalling "all that unites us." Although presidents have challenged last-minute rule-making by their predecessors in the past, Bush's handling of his review of Clinton administration actions could have a significant impact on relations between the Republican administration and congressional Democrats. Republicans hailed the president's action as a brake on hasty legislating by decree, but Democrats said they would be closely watching Bush's review of those regulations for clues as to his seriousness about trying to mend political wounds from the election. "I would hope that he would take great care in rolling back many of these matters that I think have been very carefully thought out and would have very serious repercussions were they to be terminated this quickly," said Senate Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.). Among the actions targeted are environmental restrictions on runoff from animal feeding operations and more than 800 pages of new guidelines for managed care programs under Medicare. Another possible target is a last-minute regulation announced by former agriculture secretary Dan Glickman that would require plants producing hot dogs and other ready-to-eat meats to conduct periodic testing for listeria bacteria, which sickened 100 people and killed 21 others during an outbreak several years ago. The measure was supported by consumer groups but opposed by large segments of the meat industry. The Environmental Protection Agency also recently issued other regulations to reduce the small traces of arsenic in drinking water by 80 percent, to cut back on pollution in the Mississippi River and to expand residents' right to know about lead emissions in their communities. The Clinton administration issued regulations protecting 60 million acres of national forests from logging and road-building, and instituted rules to prevent workplace injuries. It also proposed new standards for lead in paint, soil and dust, and the sulfur levels in diesel fuel for buses and large trucks. Some of these measures, including new ergonomic standards that are vigorously opposed by the business community and the logging ban in roadless forests, are likely out of Bush's reach because of the difficulties he would encounter under federal law in trying to rescind rules that already have the effect of law. However, congressional Republicans and Bush administration officials say they are troubled by the flurry of last-minute action by Clinton and insist that a careful review with an eye to possible changes is warranted. "The whole myriad of regulations he signed while he was walking out the door should be looked at," said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete V. Domenici (R-N.M.). "Clinton had four years of a second term to do some of those, and because he does them all right now makes them all suspect." = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer*
[CTRL] NYP: PARDONS PAVING WAY FOR PICKING POCKETS
-Caveat Lector- PARDONS PAVING WAY FOR PICKING POCKETS Sunday,January 21,2001 By STEVE DUNLEAVY "TO err is human, to forgive is divine." Now whatever sunshine boy said that didn't have the unhealthy cynicism that daunts so many of us. I look with jaundiced eye at the pardons granted by Bill Clinton. OK, his brother Roger, who did 18 months for pushing cocaine. Now giving Roger a pardon means he can vote. Good old boy Rog who wants to make it in Hollywood and loves to go to topless bars, wouldn't vote at a dog show. But, fair enough if you can't give your brother a pardon, who can you pardon? And then there was Susan McDougal, who was up to her ears in the turbulent rapids of Whitewater. She did 21/2 years, kept her mouth shut, didn't rat out Clinton and was a stand-up broad. Yeah, I can see that pardon. But now the cynicism. Patty Hearst pardoned? After she became one of the most spectacular fugitives of the century she suddenly became a footnote to history. And believe me, that's the way she wanted it. And if you ask people on the street, sure they would know who Patty Hearst is, but a question mark would cross their faces if you said she had been pardoned. What? Why? When? How? And who cares? OK, another name. Marc Rich, not a name with the same resonance of familiarity as Patty. Marc who? Well, back in 1983 he fled to Meggen, Switzerland, where he lived in luxurious exile. He flew the coop after then-federal prosecutor Rudy Giuliani nailed him on 51 counts of racketeering, wire fraud and income-tax evasion to the tune of $48 million, then the biggest tax dodge in history. He comfortably stared out of FBI wanted posters which fazed him naught as he continued to make his fortunes as a financier and commodities trader as brilliant as few had ever seen on Wall Street. All right, the crunch. So why are Patty Hearst and Marc Rich so significant in Bill's list of largesse? Simply put, Patty Hearst is the heiress of the staggering Hearst fortune. And Marc Rich, whether hiding in Switzerland or walking free on Wall Street, all he has to do is look at a tree to turn it into gold. Marc's former wife, Denise, in the past five years has been one of the biggest Democratic fund-raisers in the country. Bill doesn't need campaign money now even though Barbra Streisand and Hollywood would happily pony up. But Hillary sure as hell does. Cynical? Heck no. Right now there are already campaign chests being filled for Hillary's political ambitions even before she's warmed the seat on the Senate floor. Hello, Mark, come in from the cold, good to see you, Patty, but it's going to cost you down the road. Twenty-four hours after Clinton pulled his own cut-and-run gig, he hogged the cameras after yesterday's inauguration, which prompted commentator Fred Barnes to say on Fox television: "It gave rich new meaning to self-indulgence." Clinton, who hung around for more than an hour, posing and shaking hands at Andrews Air Force Base before flying to New York, said: "I'm leaving the White House but I'm still here." And then more telling: "You've got a senator here who will be a voice for you." Money is the root of all political lust, and as I look into that beautifully clear crystal ball, you know that already the tapping of the fat cats like lawbreakers Patty Hearst and Marc Rich is a perfectly drawn blueprint for a heist of the pocket. A huge campaign chest for Hillary's presidential campaign in 2004, getting money, like her husband from wherever she can - you bet you can see it, walking down the Midtown tunnel at midnight and blindfolded. kk= 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] Christ the Culprit?
-Caveat Lector-
~~for educational purposes only~~
[Title 17 U.S.C. section 107]
Christ the Culprit?
by Joseph Sobran
Time magazine has just hailed an intellectual breakthrough:
"A new book claims that Christianity, not just bad Christians,
is to blame for persecution of the Jews."
What an original idea! This must be only the fortieth book
to come up with it. The book is Constantine's Sword: The
Church and the Jews, by James Carroll (Houghton Mifflin).
Carroll is one of those liberal ex-priests who insist that
they are staunch Catholics while defaming their Church at
every turn.
According to Time's reviewer, Carroll, whose book is "brave"
and "fascinating" (though it merely repeats a thesis that has
become safe and commonplace), blames anti-Semitism and the
Holocaust on the popes, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades,
the medieval Church, St. Augustine, St. John Chrysostom, the
Church fathers, and even the authors of the Gospels.
Has he left anyone out?
Well, yes. Why not blame Jesus Christ? He certainly had
quarrels with the Jews and made some harsh and provocative
remarks about them. Why let Christ off the hook? If the
Church has so consistently opposed the Jews for two millennia,
might not its Founder have had some influence in the matter?
Are we really supposed to believe that, once he had left this
earth, Christianity immediately adopted a doctrine totally
alien to him? If the Church is so thoroughly anti-Semitic,
why not trace its anti-Semitism to Christ himself?
Ah, but that might be a little more "brave" than Carroll
deems prudent. It might cut him off from the Faith to which
he professes allegiance. Christ is a pretty imposing figure
even now. Safer to blame the Church, the popes, even the
Apostles, than the Founder himself. One nubile movie star,
blaming the Catholic Church in a recent interview for
inhibiting her sex life, never fingered Christ as the
culprit as if Catholic doctrines didn't reflect Christ's
own stern teachings on lust, but were superimposed by a
bunch of old celibate males.
You'll notice that whenever people dislike Christianity,
they blame whatever they dislike about it on everyone but
Jesus. They'd have us believe that they have no quarrel
with Christ's "authentic" teachings, with which they are
in total agreement, but reject only those alien accretions
that started collecting, as they claim, the moment Christ
departed.
The so-called Jesus Seminar, a group of liberal theologians,
has even decided to tell us which Gospel sayings Jesus
"really" spoke and the "authentic" ones always turn
out to be those that are acceptable to modern liberalism.
It's easy to see why. If you want to make Jesus Christ a
modern liberal, you have to edit the Gospels pretty heavily.
Garry Wills does something similar in his recent book,
Papal Sin, which purports to be a critique of the modern
papacy but winds up rejecting some ancient and basic
Catholic doctrines. Of course Wills never admits that he
rejects any of Christ's own teachings.
Just as those who cant about "anti-Semitism" stop short
of indicting Christ, those who cant about "racism" present
a heavily expurgated version of Abraham Lincoln, and for
similar reasons. If even Lincoln was a "racist," the word
loses its sting. He has to be preserved as the great icon
of "racial justice," the "color-blind society," "civil
rights," and all that. So we rarely hear about Lincoln's
actual views on race.
Wills has written a book on Lincoln too: Lincoln at
Gettysburg, which won a Pulitzer Prize, portrays the
familiar Great Emancipator of liberal mythology with
hardly a blemish. The book disingenuously avoids all
mention of Lincoln 's devotion to the cause of removing
"free colored persons" from the United States, his denial
that blacks should be American citizens, or his proposal
of a constitutional amendment to authorize their deportation
("with their consent," it should be noted) to other
countries. Professor Wills, meet Parson Weems.
For the real Lincoln, the United States was, and should
ideally be, a white nation, and by "the American people"
he meant the white people. As one wag quipped: "Mighty
white of you, Abe!"
Liberals know they can't afford to make full frontal
assaults on such venerable figures as Christ and Lincoln.
So they continue to feed the public false images and
censored versions of them. You have to wonder how long
liberalism could survive without lies.

Executive Orders "having the force of law" is the same thing as a king ruling by Royal Decree. I challenge anyone to find any such presidential authority in the U.S. Constitution. The power to create laws is specifically given to the Congress and not to any other branch of government. How did we get into this mess of presidents ruling by decree? It began when Franklin Roosevelt stampeded Congress into declaring a "State of Emergency" in 1933. This gave Roosevelt "Emergency Powersthe same as if the United States had been invaded by a foreign enemy." This phony "Emergency" has remained in effect ever since 1933. Most Americans have lived under this "Emergency' all of their lives and they accept these extraordinary Presidential Powers as ordinary and the way things are supposed to be. So now we have the sorry spectacle of a new President (King) rushing to cancel the Royal Edicts of the old President (King). George W. Bush's own political party, the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Texas passed a formal Resolution in 1995 demanding that Congress recind this bogus "State of Emergency". If Bush Jr. has any intention of honoring his oath to "uphold the Constitution", he must first cancel this fraudulent "Emergency" and return our country to lawful Constitutional government.

As some of you may know David Icke used to play football,he was a goalkeeper,the blokewho tried to stop the other team scoring.We all know about David's website http://www.davidicke.com well i wonder if you knew that David writes about football (soccer to the Americans) in his article for the website http://www.football365.com I thought this article was interesting,i always wondered how long it would take him to mention the Bilderberg group in his soccer column. Features Columns David Icke - 365 Columnist Last Updated: Wednesday 17 January 2001 18:08 'End Of Transfer Fees Is First Step To A Global Fascist State' HANDS UP everyone who thinks they are free. Oh, almost everyone then? And of course they are right. They are free to pay whatever the government chooses they should pay for a pint of beer or a litre of petrol. They are free to buy a lottery ticket and see their money used to save the government's face at the Millennium Dome while others suffer, go hungry or die through lack of finance. They are free to see laws passed in which they have had no say and they are free to obey those laws or face the freedom of being arrested and fined. They are free to be told what they want to hear by politicians seeking their votes and they are free to watch those politicians ignore everything they promised once they get into office. Now we are free, it would appear, to see the game of football turned into a farce. Have you ever met a European Commissioner? Do you know what they look like, where they work, who controls them and to what end? Have you ever had the chance to question any of them or put your point of view to them? Can you name any of them? Have you even had the chance to vote for one? No, no, no, no, no. And yet, these are the guys who are imposing their dictatorship on the game of football in a way that will destroy the professional sport. Can you imagine what football would be like if a player could leave a club at a month's notice? How would Alex Ferguson sort out his squad for the games ahead? - "Hey Beckham, we've got a match in Barcelona next month, are you going to still be here or will you be playing for them by then? Do I plan to use your talents or to stop them? And what about you Barthez, Stam, Giggs and Cole, where will you be next month? Any thoughts?" Changing the names on the replica shirts would be a 24-hour-a-day industry and the vans of revolving door manufacturers would be a common site at clubs all over Europe. The game would be dead in the water. All the best players would gravitate to the clubs who could pay the biggest wages and this would happen on a scale that dwarfs even what we see today. The Premiership in England would be like the Premier League in Scotland is now and smaller clubs who depend for their survival on transfer profits would go under in droves. The domestic professional game would collapse and football would comprise of the few top clubs in each country playing in their own European League. Of course, when Jimmy Hill led the players' revolt against their financial abuse by football clubs in the 1960s, the changes that followed were perfectly justified and long overdue - why should there be a maximum wage while the income of the player's club goes on rising? But there is a balance in all things and the abolition of transfers and contracts that commit a player to a club for an agreed period would devastate football as a spectacle and eventually bring an end to the professional game in towns and even some cities all over the UK. How would Wimbledon have survived as a Premiership club, for instance, had they not received more than they spent in transfer fees? And what incentive would there be to invest money in youngsters if you knew that the moment they made it big, they could walk out and join a bigger club paying bigger wages and you would receive no compensation for the investment in that player's

[CTRL] Uranium shells held 'cocktail of nuclear waste'
The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, Belgrade, YU Uranium shells held 'cocktail of nuclear waste'by Jonathon Carr-Brown http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2001/01/21/stinwenws02005.html SHELLS fired in the Gulf war and Kosovo were made out of materialcontaminated by a potentially lethal cocktail of nuclear waste,according to a book published this week. The claim, supported by American army and government documents, suggeststhat the military in Kosovo and Iraq used depleted uranium (DU) shellscontaining traces of elements that indicate the probable presence ofplutonium and other highly toxic nuclear by-products. The allegations contained in Depleted Uranium: The Invisible War willembarrass the British and American governments, which have consistentlydenied DU is harmful, and enrage veterans of the Gulf and Kosovo. Martin Messonnier, Frederick Loore and Roger Trilling, the authors ofthe book, are convinced that the Pentagon has misled the world withclaims that its DU is safe. Until now, the Pentagon has maintained that DU shells are safe becausethey contain only mildly radioactive uranium. But the authors claim theshells were made with uranium contaminated with more toxic elements. DU was first used in the Gulf war where the dense metal proved deadlyagainst Iraqi tanks. The American army is determined to keep the shellsin its arsenal despite the fact the American navy has withdrawn them onhealth grounds. The authors' claims are based on papers that have led them to threenuclear plants in Paducah, Kentucky; Portsmouth, Ohio; and Oak Ridge,Tennessee - the main makers of DU. Last January Bill Richardson, the energy secretary, accepted afterdecades of denials that thousands of workers at Paducah "had beenexposed to radiation and chemicals that produced cancer and earlydeath". Most of the victims display symptoms similar to Gulf war veterans -particularly chronic fatigue and joint pain. The authors claim theworkers had been handling uranium contaminated with plutonium, which wasthen used to make DU. Documents from August 1999 show that workers at Paducah had beeninhaling plutonium as part of a "flawed government experiment to recycleused nuclear reactor fuel". The first sign was employees with a stringof cancers in the 1980s. In October 1999 the energy department reported that "during the processof making fuel for nuclear reactors and elements for nuclear weapons,the Paducah gaseous diffusion plant . . . created depleted uraniumpotentially containing neptunium and plutonium". Plutonium can cause cancer if ingested even in minute quantities. Whatthe workers at Paducah and its sister plants were dealing with wererecycled uranium stocks already contaminated during the enrichmentprocess at other nuclear plants. The workers, like the soldiers in Iraq and Kosovo, were not equipped todeal with these hazards. Paducah was designed to handle uranium, notplutonium, which is about 100,000 times more radioactive per gram. Last week United Nations officials investigating the effects of DU inKosovo confirmed they had found traces of elements indicating plutonium.According to the authors, the only possible source for DU containingplutonium are Paducah, Portsmouth and Oak Ridge, which used thecontaminated uranium.

The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, Belgrade, YU http://www.euronews.net/14.01.2001Fresh reports on DU (depleted uranium) related civilian deaths pouring outthis week from independent sources, should put all people around the worldon highest alert. Most alarming among them is the article by Robert Fisk,published on January 13, 2000 in "The Independent" headlined: "I SEE 300GRAVES THAT COULD BEAR THE HEADSTONE: DIED OF DEPLETED URANIUM." Euronewshas a duty to inform its viewers/readers about this article. It tells achilling story about a Serbian graveyard in the Serbian suburb of Hadzicinear Sarajevo in Bosnia with the remains of 300 Serbian civilians, laidnext to each other, who all died in the last 5 years of cancer relatedillnesses. Their suburb was annihilated by the vicious NATO bombing (American A-10's) spewing DU ordinance indiscriminately over their factoriesand houses. When "expert" opinions from the Pentagon paid Americanscientist, deny connection between DU ordinance and cancer illnesses amongthe American and NATO soldiers, one is moved to skepticism. When thePentagon cannot remember what kind or what quantity of ordinance was usedand there is still no one who dares to clean up the Adriatic sea and theDanube river, one is moved to suspicion. But, when NATO's European membersdeliberately avoid to address these issues, despite substantial evidence tothe contrary, one is moved to nausea. Aside from the hypocrisy, morality andlegality, NATO's rhetoric and its military aggression against Bosnia's,Yugoslavia's and Kosovo's civilians, had all the elements of racistanti-Serbian bestiality matched only by Hitler's actions against the Jews.NATO's recklessness in the use of ordinance filled with DU and possiblyother unspeakable substances, contaminating Europe's environment, its air,its lands and its waters -are acts of insanity yet unmatched in history.The European public must demand the whole truth and must bring to justicethe NATO master-minds and accomplices.

[CTRL] Research: How One Single Atom Of DU Can Cause Cancer [
The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, Belgrade, YU http://www.sundayherald.com/news/newsi.hts?section=Newsstory_id=13815The Sunday Herald (Scotland)21 January 2001 Revealed: how just one single atom of DU can triggercancerBy Rob Edwards Environment Editor Publication Date: Jan 21 2001The furious international row over the risks ofdepleted uranium weapons is set to flare up again withthe revelation that a single atom of uranium insidethe body is enough to trigger cancer.Scientists from a government-funded medical researchlaboratory at Harwell in Oxfordshire have produced thefirst direct proof that a single alpha particleemitted by uranium can damage human cells. The damage,they say, is a crucial step in the development oftumours.Arguments over the health hazards of depleted uranium(DU) have been raging since the UN EnvironmentProgramme announced earlier this month that eight outof 11 sites in Kosovo were contam inated withradioactivity. Nearly one million rounds of ammunitioncontaining 300 tonnes of DU have been fired in theBalkans and Gulf wars over the last 10 years, mostlyby US forces.The new evidence will reinforce the growing chorus ofdemands for a ban on the use of DU in weapons, atleast until the health risks for soldiers andcivilians have been fully investigated. Last week theEuropean Parliament voted 626 to 394 in favour of amoratorium while an independent study into thepotential health risks was carried out.Although Nato and the British Ministry of Defencecontinue to insist that there is no evidence that anyill health has been caused by DU munitions,politicians, war veterans and scientists maintainthere is a problem, particularly with excess cancersand leukaemias. Tomorrow the World Health Organisationis sending a team of experts to Kosovo to examinewhether there are any links between civilians exposedto DU and cancers.The new British study was conducted by the Radiationand Genome Stability Unit at Harwell in associationwith Mount Vernon Hospital in London. Groups of humanblood cells were exposed to a single alpha particle inthe laboratory and left to divide a dozen times ormore.Researchers found that 25% of the daughter cells haddistinctive patterns of broken and bent chromosomes.This effect, christened "radiation-induced genomicinstability", is thought to be part of the complexchain of biological events that can end up as cancer."This work shows directly for the first time that evena single alpha particle can induce genomic instabilityin a cell. That may be important in assessing risks ofcancer from alpha-emitting radionuclides in the body,"said the Harwell unit's director, Professor DudleyGoodhead."It suggests that even the smallest amount carriessome, very small, risk. However, for materials such aslow-activity uranium it may well be that the radiationis less harmful than chemical effects of the metal inthe cell."Although alpha particles are not a very penetratingform of radiation, when inside the body they can dosignificant harm to any living cells they happen topass through. They are emitted by plutonium and otherradionuclides as well as uranium.Last week, the Ministry of Def ence admitted thattraces of plutonium could also be present in DUweapons, left over from processing by the nuclearpower industry. That, experts pointed out, inevitablyincreased the risk because plu tonium emitted morealpha particles than DU.Mike Thorne, a uranium specialist with AEA Technology,a spin-off company from the UK Atomic EnergyAuthority, also in Harwell, thought that the new studystrengthened the need to find out how much DU hadfound its way inside people during the conflicts inthe Gulf and the Balkans.But he agreed with Goodhead that the chemical effectsof DU could be even more dangerous than itsradiological impact. "It is a toxic heavy metal," hesaid. "It would be reasonable to put a moratorium on its useas a munition until we have investigated the amountsto which people have been exposed."Most radiobiologists have dismissed the muchhighlighted suggestion that soldiers exposed to DU inKosovo in 1999 could already have developed leukaemiaas a result. It was much too soon after the exposurefor the disease to be diagnosed, they said.But Sue Roff, a radiation res earcher from the Centrefor Medical Education at the University of Dundee, hasdug up evidence that suggests the radiation-inducedleukaemias can develop surprisingly quickly. The firstcases were discovered in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in1947 and 1948, just two or three years after the USdestroyed the cities with atomic bombs."In studies of patients who have received radiationtherapy, the period of greatest risk for developingleukaemia has been reported as two to five years afterexposure.

Re: [CTRL] Christ the Culprit?
-Caveat Lector- "M.A. Johnson" wrote: -Caveat Lector- ~~for educational purposes only~~ [Title 17 U.S.C. section 107] Christ the Culprit? by Joseph Sobran Time magazine has just hailed an intellectual breakthrough: "A new book claims that Christianity, not just bad Christians, is to blame for persecution of the Jews." What an original idea! This must be only the fortieth book to come up with it. The book is Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews, by James Carroll (Houghton Mifflin). Carroll is one of those liberal ex-priests who insist that they are staunch Catholics while defaming their Church at every turn. According to Time's reviewer, Carroll, whose book is "brave" and "fascinating" (though it merely repeats a thesis that has become safe and commonplace), blames anti-Semitism and the Holocaust on the popes, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, the medieval Church, St. Augustine, St. John Chrysostom, the Church fathers, and even the authors of the Gospels. Has he left anyone out? Well, yes. Why not blame Jesus Christ? He certainly had quarrels with the Jews and made some harsh and provocative remarks about them. Why let Christ off the hook? Quite simple really. No one really knows for certain what Jesus ( not Christ ) said. All information about him comes from the Church controlled literature and is therefor suspect. Jesus was NEVER a Christian, but ALWAYS a Jew. And a devout one at that. The anti Jew rhetoric attributed to him is the Church speaking. Not Jesus. We can presume this from information OUTSIDE of the control of the Church which exist in Roman and Jewish writings, and conflict with what has been canonized. This is why Sobran is a phony apologist for Christianity. If the Church has so consistently opposed the Jews for two millennia, might not its Founder have had some influence in the matter? No. Are we really supposed to believe that, once he had left this earth, Christianity immediately adopted a doctrine totally alien to him? If the Church is so thoroughly anti-Semitic, why not trace its anti-Semitism to Christ himself? Because Christianity has nothing to do with Jesus. Christianity was invented by Paul. Ah, but that might be a little more "brave" than Carroll deems prudent. It might cut him off from the Faith to which he professes allegiance. Christ is a pretty imposing figure even now. Safer to blame the Church, the popes, even the Apostles, than the Founder himself. One nubile movie star, blaming the Catholic Church in a recent interview for inhibiting her sex life, never fingered Christ as the culprit as if Catholic doctrines didn't reflect Christ's own stern teachings on lust, but were superimposed by a bunch of old celibate males. He got that right. You'll notice that whenever people dislike Christianity, they blame whatever they dislike about it on everyone but Jesus. They'd have us believe that they have no quarrel with Christ's "authentic" teachings, with which they are in total agreement, but reject only those alien accretions that started collecting, as they claim, the moment Christ departed. The so-called Jesus Seminar, a group of liberal theologians, has even decided to tell us which Gospel sayings Jesus "really" spoke and the "authentic" ones always turn out to be those that are acceptable to modern liberalism. Sobran is an ignorant fool. Jesus's " authentic " sayings were acceptable to *** ancient liberalism ***. That's what makes them likely to be true. Jesus's sayings were Pharisaic teachings. The Pharisees were the Liberals of their day. NOT the blind conservatives as portrayed in the Christian Bible. Jesus was a Pharisee. The Jews he was in conflict with were the rich, aristocratic Saducees who did business with the Romans, and controlled the Temple. The Christian fathers turned that around and made THEIR ENEMIES - the Rabbinic Pharisees, the enemies of Jesus. This is where Christian anti-semitism started. The Church fathers altered history to make the Jews, ( who rejected Christianity ) not the Romans ( who eventually adopted Christianity ) responsible for the death of Jesus. It's easy to see why. If you want to make Jesus Christ a modern liberal, you have to edit the Gospels pretty heavily. Garry Wills does something similar in his recent book, Papal Sin, which purports to be a critique of the modern papacy but winds up rejecting some ancient and basic Catholic doctrines. Of course Wills never admits that he rejects any of Christ's own teachings. Just as those who cant about "anti-Semitism" stop short of indicting Christ, those who cant about "racism" present a heavily expurgated version of Abraham Lincoln, and for similar reasons. snip irrelevant conservative drivel about Lincoln. Liberals know they can't afford to make full frontal assaults on such venerable figures as Christ and Lincoln. So they continue to feed the public false images and censored versions of

News, weather, restaurants... much more! http://www.tellme.com/signin/register.gsp?src=engagei=12 -- The Globe And Mail (Toronto) Mr. I-feel-your-pain was better at inflicting it JOHN R. MacARTHUR Saturday, January 20, 2001 In the spring of 1969 my incautious father took me to a big antiwar demonstration, by then a common occurrence in downtown Chicago but by no means one taken lightly by the security apparatus of Mayor Richard J. Daley. Less than a year earlier, Chicago's "finest" had clubbed, bloodied and arrested hundreds of protesters at the 1968 Democratic convention, so the atmosphere was taut. Vietnam had radicalized a previously contented class of upwardly mobile youth, as well as many of their perfectly respectable suburban parents, and I will never forget the rage pulsing through that huge, menacing crowd as it pushed down State Street. Fights broke out along the periphery as counterdemonstrators tried to provoke the marchers, and at one point my dad yanked me away from the street when we found ourselves too close to a vicious fist fight. Even nice, polite college boys get mad if they're pushed too far. And by 1969 they'd been pushed so far that few people with the education, money or connections to avoid it were willing to get killed for Lyndon Johnson's, Richard Nixon's and Henry Kissinger's grand game of realpolitik. Around the same time I was on State Street, a polite, upwardly mobile young Bill Clinton was engaged in some modest antiwar agitation of his own -- though far from the home front at Oxford, where besides a rsum-building Rhodes scholarship, he could rejoice in his continuing exemption from a military draft that sent so many poor southern boys like himself to their deaths. I mock Mr. Clinton with some hesitation -- nevertheless, the most notable aspect of his administration is that the radicalism of the late 1960s didn't stick. This spirit encompassed a good deal more than opposing Vietnam; when Americans realized the depths of Mr. Johnson's and Mr. Nixon's corrupt commitment to a pointless war it freed them to see the myriad other ways in which politicians could subvert democracy. This realization called into question the basic assumptions of the Cold War, the terrible treatment of blacks, the existence of a military-industrial complex, the routine violations by the government of basic civil liberties, the Third World poverty that prevailed in discreet pockets all over America and the degradation of the natural environment by business and government alike. At the time Mr. Clinton took office, the impetus for progressive reform had been largely destroyed by Ronald Reagan, so it's understandable why our first "peacenik" President moved cautiously at first. But very quickly it became apparent that Mr. Clinton was less committed to reform than to the gospel of dead-centrism, which argued that no Democrat could ever attain the White House without embracing economic laissez faire and rigid social control. In keeping with Reaganism, the free market had to be further freed to work its magic -- hence deregulation of banking, electric utilities and airlines, hence the blind eye cast on the merger frenzy that reversed a century's worth of antitrust tradition. Meanwhile, unruly black people needed to learn manners (in jail or in the electric chair if necessary), have their welfare guarantees removed and their penchant for selling illegal drugs cracked down on hard. All of this started under Ronald Reagan and George Bush, but Mr. Clinton codified their policies with the "tough-on-crime" bills he signed in 1994 and 1996. Thus, today, we have banks that tout uninsured stocks instead of government insured savings accounts, rolling power blackouts in California, and bigger, richer oil companies with less competition than ever. Thus, the prison population, disproportionately black, is approaching 1.4 million (up from 300,000 in 1977), and the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure lays in tatters, victim of the "war on drugs." Famous for "feeling your pain," Mr. Clinton was always better at inflicting it. Nothing better illustrates the President's abandonment of liberal activism than his decision in 1993 to push passage of NAFTA ahead of a national health-insurance plan. Historians will surely dwell on Mr. Clinton's betrayal of his wife through his devotion to free love, but the greater faithlessness toward the first lady came on "free trade." Mr. Clinton was

Who Are The Fringe People?:
Media and Protests 3
By Carla Binion
In Bush's inaugural speech, which he did not write, he spoke soaringly of our
nation's fate being led by angels in whirlwinds (or was it sugarplum
fairies?) and of including all Americans. However, in an MSNBC interview
aired the night before the inaugural, Bush dismissed the vast number of
Americans opposed to Ashcroft and other Cabinet nominations, describing his
opponents as "fringe people" (his exact words).
Who are the fringe people? The term is vaguely scary, invoking images of
wild, hairy Neanderthals, peering from caves with spooky intentions of rising
up and doing heaven-knows-what to the agenda of the wealthy.
Bush became teary-eyed during the inaugural, but where are his tears for the
millions of folks he and his media bulldogs routinely batter and malign, the
so-called fringe? His speech writers and think tanks put shimmering words of
unity and love into his mouth, but the actual unspun Bush-brain lets slip his
true prejudices.
Fringe is dictionary-defined as "a marginal or minor part," and "at the outer
edge." Bush and his mainstream media mouthpieces repeatedly describe all
dissenting environmentalists, African-Americans, women's rights organizations
and civil liberties groups as "far leftwing fringe."
Most Americans know that groups such as the Sierra Club, the NAACP, the
National Organization for Women and People for the American Way are neither
far leftwing nor fringe. Most of us also realize that not all Americans
opposed to the Bush appointees and agenda (your truly included, FYI) are
members of any organized political group, far leftwing or otherwise.
In fact, the people in favor of environmental protection legislation, legal
justice for minorities and women, and laws protecting civil liberties are the
American mainstream. Robert W. McChesney writes about the difference between
the interests of the majority of Americans and the interests of the small
minority of wealthy special interests represented by the likes of the Bush
team.
McChesney is a media critic and a research professor in the Institute of
Communications Research and the Graduate School of Library and Information
Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He says:
"The needs of the minuscule investor class can never be equated with the
needs of the citizenry or with the foundations of a democracy."
Bush and Company would like us to believe they represent "the American
people." In fact, they represent only about one to five percent of the
people. The remainder of us are fringe.
Robert McChesney says of the miniscule ruling class, "some go so far as to
present democracy as being defined first and foremost by individual freedoms
to buy and sell property and the right to invest for profit. That there is
any distinction between those liberties and the democratic right to free
speech, free press, and free assembly is dismissed categorically."
The Bush team and the mainstream media folks who promote their views, equate
market rights with political freedom and capitalism with democracy, a
corrolation McChesney rightly calls absurd. Many nations, McChesney notes,
have protected market rights while "having little respect for any other civil
liberties."
How does the Republican party, which exists to protect the financial
interests of a small minority of Americans, convince ordinary working people
to support their policies? In a word: avertising. In a less charitable
word: propaganda.
The Republican party spends millions on campaign ads and takes advantage of
free TV time to present itself as the party of "character." As journalist
Bill Greider says ("Who Will Tell The People," 1992), the Republican party
"poses as the bullwark against unsettling modernity."
Republicans, says Greider, advertise themselves as defenders against "alien
forces within society that threaten to overwhelm decent folk -- libertine
sexual behavior, communists, criminals, people of color demanding more than
they deserve." In doing so, the Republican leadership pretends to care more
about sexual behavior than they actually do, and they play on fears and
prejudices regarding race and class.
Somehow Republicans also manage to convince their working class supporters
that their tax cuts and other economic plans benefit average working folks.
However, those cuts demonstrably shift the tax burden from the very wealthy
onto the backs of lower and middle income Americans.
Rush Limbaugh and other media voices of rightwing outrage give Republicans a
virtually non-stop propaganda vehicle. However, the Limbaugh types are not
the only media promoters of the economic interests of the wealthiest
Americans.
In "Breaking the News: How the Media Undermine American Democracy,"
journalist James Fallows writes: "Until about the mid-1960s, journalism was
essentially a high working-class activity. In big cities the typical
reporter would make about as much

[CTRL] The Crackdown on Dissent
The Crackdown on Dissent http://www.commondreams.org/views01/0119-05.htm by Abby Scher Over the past year, the US government has intensified its crackdown on political dissidents opposing corporate globalization, and it is using the same intimidating and probably unconstitutional tactics against demonstrators at the presidential inauguration. With the Secret Service taking on extraordinary powers designed to combat terrorism, undercover operatives are spying on protesters' planning meetings, while police are restricting who is allowed on the parade route and are planning a massive search effort of visitors. One activist who has had experience with how the DC police handle demonstrators is Rob Fish, a cheerful young man with the Student Environmental Action Coalition profiled in a recent Sierra magazine cover story on the new generation of environmentalists. If you were watching CNN during the protests against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington, DC, in April, you would have seen Fish, 22, beaten, bloody and bandaged after an attack by an enraged plainclothes officer who also tried to destroy the camera with which Fish was documenting police harassment. Fish is a plaintiff in a class-action suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Lawyers Guild and the Partnership for Civil Justice against the DC police and a long list of federal agencies including the FBI. This suit--along with others in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, where the party conventions were held in August; in Detroit, which declared a civil emergency during the June Organization of American States meeting across the border in Windsor, Ontario; and in Seattle--is exposing a level of surveillance and disruption of political activities not seen on the left since the FBI deployed its dirty tricks against the Central American solidarity movement during the 1980s. Among police agencies themselves this is something of an open secret. In the spring the US Attorney's office bestowed an award on members of the Washington, DC, police department for their "unparalleled" coordination with other police agencies during the IMF protests. "The FBI provided valuable background on the individuals who were intent on committing criminal acts and were able to impart the valuable lessons learned from Seattle," the US Attorney declared. Civil liberties lawyers say the level of repression--in the form of unwarranted searches and surveillance, unprovoked shootings and beatings, and pre-emptive mass arrests criminalizing peaceful demonstrators--violates protesters' rights of free-speech and association. "It's political profiling," said Jim Lafferty, director of the National Lawyers Guild's Los Angeles office, which is backing lawsuits coming out of the Los Angeles protests. "They target organizers. It's a new level of crackdown on dissent." In Washington in April and at the Republican National Convention protest in Philadelphia last summer, the police rounded up hundreds of activists in pre-emptive arrests and targeted and arrested on trumped-up charges those they had identified as leaders. Once many of those cases appeared in Philadelphia court, they were dismissed because the police could offer no reason for the arrests. In December the courts dismissed all charges against sixty-four puppet-making activists arrested at a warehouse. A month before, prosecutors had told the judge they were withdrawing all fourteen misdemeanor charges against Ruckus Society head John Sellers for lack of evidence. These were the same charges--including possession of an instrument of a crime, his cell phone--that police leveled against Sellers to argue for his imprisonment on $1 million bail this past August. A major question posed by the lawsuits is whether the federal government trained local police to violate the free-speech rights of protesters like Sellers and Fish. The FBI held seminars for local police in the protest cities on the lessons of the Seattle disorders to help them prepare for the demonstrations. It has also formed "joint terrorism task forces" in twenty-seven of its fifty-six divisions, composed of local, state and federal law-enforcement officers, aimed at suppressing what it sees as domestic terrorism on the left and on the right. "We want to be proactive and keep these things from happening," Gordon Compton, an FBI spokesman, told the Oregonian in early December after public-interest groups called for the city to withdraw from that region's task force. The collaboration of federal and local police harks back to the height of the municipal Red Squads, renamed "intelligence units" in the postwar period. During the heyday of J. Edgar Hoover and his illegal Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO), the FBI relied on these local police units and even private right-wing spy groups for information about antiwar and other activists. The FBI then used the

President Bush Announces Religious Agenda on Inauguration Day Bush Presents Himself as 'Determined Foe of Church-State' Separation WASHINGTON - January 20 - George W. Bush, sworn in today as the nation's 43rd president, announced a religious agenda in his inaugural address, including an emphasis on using houses of worship for providing publicly financed social services. Just moments after being sworn in as president, Bush used a speech laced with religious rhetoric to explain the role religion will play in his administration. "[S]ome needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer," Bush said. "Church and charity, synagogue and mosque, lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and laws." The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, expressed concern about Bush's comments. "Bush apparently believes he was elected national preacher as well as president," Lynn said. "The newly elected president presented himself today as a determined foe of church-state separation. The Constitution he swore to uphold simply does not permit the president to merge religion and government. "Churches and other houses of worship play a cherished role in our society, but they do not have a role in our secular laws," Lynn added. "Bush's remarks showed a gross insensitivity to the constitutional principle of government neutrality on religion." Bush also used his inaugural address to emphasize his plans for education, remarking, "Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives." News agencies were reporting today that Bush will unveil an education plan on Tuesday that will feature vouchers for religious and other private schools. "Far too much of Bush's agenda calls for a unity between church and state," noted AU's Lynn. "To protect the religious liberties of all Americans, his plans must be rejected by Congress." In one of his first acts as the nation's chief executive, Bush issued a proclamation ordering today as a "national day of prayer." Bush, in the proclamation, called "upon the citizens of our Nation to gather together in homes and places of worship to pray alone and together and offer thanksgiving to God for all the blessings of this great and good land." He added, "I ask Americans to bow our heads in humility before our Heavenly Father, a God who calls us not to judge our neighbors, but to love them, to ask His guidance upon our Nation and its leaders in every level of government." Ironically, Bush quoted Thomas Jefferson both in his inaugural address and his day of prayer proclamation. Jefferson, a staunch advocate of church-state separation, never issued a prayer proclamation in order to preserve government neutrality on religious matters. "Bush would have been wise to follow Jefferson's example and allow Americans to make up their own minds about how and when to pray," said AU's Lynn. "It would have gotten the Bush presidency off to a much better start. "The Bush Administration is only a few hours old and it already has signaled remarkable hostility for church-state separation," concluded Lynn. "Anyone concerned with this nation's religious liberties should realize that the next four years will be awfully busy." Americans United is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization represents 60,000 members and allied houses of worship in all 50 states.
[CTRL] Bush Buddy To Profit From Calif. Energy Woes
http://www0.mercurycenter.com/premium/front/docs/enron.htm Bush adviser's role in deciding crisis questioned BY JIM PUZZANGHERA Mercury News Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- One of the top energy advisers to President-elect George W. Bush, who today becomes responsible for crucial decisions in how the federal government will deal with California's energy crisis, has a vested interest in how that crisis is resolved. Ken Lay, chairman and outgoing CEO of Enron, one of the nation's biggest power marketers, has a long and close relationship with Bush. One of his largest political contributors, he helped raise more than $100,000 for Bush's presidential campaign. Those roles raise serious conflict-of-interest questions, according to public watchdog groups. ``There's no secret he has the ear of the president,'' said Larry Makinson, a senior fellow at the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks money in politics. He described Lay as ``the ultimate insider'' on energy and in particular electricity deregulation -- the root of California's current problem. ``Energy deregulation is one of the foundations of the business plan for Enron,'' he said. ``They want it nationally, and Ken Lay has been one of the company's prime movers in this area. ''In addition to potentially boosting the fortunes of his company, Lay stands to make significant gains personally if Enron benefits from the resolution of California's energy woes. His declared holdings in the Houston-based company's stock are 2.9 million shares, valued at $205 million when the market closed Friday. Bush already appears to have followed Lay's lead on one aspect of California's severe energy problem. On Thursday, Bush for the first time said he opposed caps on wholesale power prices in the West, the same position that Lay has long stated. California Gov. Gray Davis has pressed federal regulators for such caps as energy prices have soared. Power marketers such as Enron and power-generating companies want no limit on how much they can charge to sell electricity. Any price caps would have to be approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, a five-member panel to which Bush now will make two appointments and choose its head. On Friday, Lay reiterated his opposition to price caps as well, saying high electricity prices force consumers to conserve in the face of a supply shortage. ``The biggest problem in California is consumers are not going to see the price signals. If they don't see the price signals, they are not changing behavior, so the problem is going to get worse,'' he said of the impact of price caps while at a forum in Washington. ``Painful as it is, they need to see the price signals and start modifying behavior to reduce demand until we get new supplies. ''Lay has been involved in negotiations between California officials, federal regulators, utility officials and energy company executives to try to resolve the crisis by forging agreement on long-term contracts for power sales to California. An aide to Davis said he doesn't believe there is a serious conflict of interest. ``The governor knows that he has the president-elect's ear, and in many ways that can be positive,'' said Davis press aide Steve Maviglio. Lay ``understands the seriousness of the situation,'' Maviglio said. Lay, who was involved in inaugural festivities Friday, could not be reached for comment. But a representative of Enron, which generates very little power for California but does broker deals between utilities and other sources, said there was no conflict between Lay's closeness to the new president and his job. ``We're a buyer and a seller in California, so we don't have any interest in seeing prices be high. We just have an interest in a functioning market,'' said Enron's Mark Palmer. He said the company ``does not necessarily'' stand to gain from higher energy prices. Lay is one of 48 members of the incoming administration's energy policy coordinating group, set up to assist the incoming energy secretary, former U.S. Sen. Spencer Abraham, as he prepares for the job. The group also includes a representative from Southern California Edison, one of the state's teetering utilities, as well as other energy and business interests. But Lay's influence is much deeper than that. The 58-year-old Lay has long been a close friend of his fellow Texan Bush, who was in the oil industry before he became governor of Texas. Enron and its employees were the top overall donor to Bush throughout his political career, giving $550,025 through June 2000, according to the Center for Public Integrity, a non-partisan political research organization. ``They're politically very close, and on a personal basis they're very close,'' said Craig McDonald, director of Texans for Public Justice, a non-profit research group that tracks money in Texas elections. ``You can see Ken Lay and the president-elect sitting side-by-side at the baseball games at Enron Field down in
[CTRL] Icke-BUSH TAKES THE OATH
BUSH TAKES THE OATH: ANOTHER
SHAPESHIFTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
by David Icke
Saturday, January 20th, 2001, will be remembered as a dark day for human
freedom - the day that George W. Bush took the oath on the same Freemasonic
Bible used by George Washington and became the 43rd President of the United
States.
It is not George W. Bush that is truly the problem, it is all that he
represents. Bush ("Shrub") is president in name only, of course. The real
power is with others behind the scenes, like his father George Bush and those
of even greater authority than he, like Henry Kissinger and other leg-men for
the Illuminati.
We can see this clearly in the people the Shrub has appointed to "his"
cabinet. It is like a roll call of Illuminati placemen that served under his
father and other child abusers, rapists, and serial killers like Gerald Ford.
Alongside them are a stream of Illuminati operatives from corporate America,
including ALCOA, the Aluminum cartel controlled by the infamous Mellon
family, those close friends of the British royal family. It is ALCOA and the
Mellons who gave us fluoride, a poison and mind suppressant, in public
drinking water.
Shrub's vice-president, Dick Cheney, was his father's Defence Secretary and
together they launched the "NATO" (British-American) war on Iraq in 1991.
Cheney, as exposed by Cathy O'Brien in Trance-Formation of America, is yet
another mind controller, child abuser, and serial killer. Colin Powell, the
head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was America's highest military commander
during the Gulf War and you do not get to that level unless you know what
people like Father George and Cheney are involved in. Powell, like the Bushes
and Cheney, is bloodline and that's why he is to be the new Secretary of
State. Given that line-up and their mentality and agenda, don't be at all
surprised if the United States finds itself in another manipulated war during
this administration. You will see "monsters" being created in the public mind
to justify such action.
The Bush inauguration marks the start of the massive push by the Illuminati
to further their agenda for a global fascist state. You will see this clearly
unfolding in the next 24 months and, as usual, watch what they do, not what
they say. The Bush administration will be a cold, calculating, vicious,
period of human history. I know people who have met the Shrub during his
period as Governor of Texas and cold, calculating, and vicious, as well as
staggeringly unintelligent, are words they chose to describe him. But those
who will be dictating the actions of his presidency make him look like a
puppy dog. Or maybe lapdog would be more appropriate.
Even many of those who still deny any evidence of a global fascist state
emerging before our eyes will be shocked out of their comatose state by the
time the Shrub leaves office. Indeed, probably long before.

This phenomenon occurred within 1-2 years following licensing of the chemical aspartame for beverages in July 1983. Furthermore, the annual incidence rates of primary brain tumors appear to be increasing. The SEER data also reveal an increased incidence of primary brain lymphoma in 1982- 1984. Others have reported a tripling of the incidence of this condition, previously rare. Again, the licensing of aspartame for "dry" use in July 1981 is relevant. The significance of these associations is underscored by the high incidence of brain tumors in rats after the experimental administration of aspartame. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists and a Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI) strongly recommended delay in licensure pending further investigation, including repetition of the animal studies, to clarify this matter. To the authors knowledge, these have not been reported. Aspartame containing products are now being consumed by an estimated 200 million persons in over 4,000 products. These data, coupled with an unacceptably large number of aspartame-related seizures reported to the FDA and the writer, appear to warrant an "imminent public health hazard" designation for such products.

It suggests that several major human cancers may be caused or influenced by an additive currently being consumed by more than half the population. Such an assertion obviously requires epidemiologic and statistical validation, as well as the repetition by corporate-neutral investigators of animal and human studies on which the FDA had relied for licensing products containing this synthesized chemical. The Rising Incidence of Primary Brain Cancer The National Cancer Institutes Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) statistics (1) indicate an impressive increase in the age-adjusted incidence rates of primary brain cancer since 1985, and possibly as early as 1984. This phenomenon has been documented in the categories covering all races and both genders. Disturbing statistically-significant rises in the Estimated Annual Percent Change (EAPC) for brain cancer also were noted in the 1983-1987 period - 1987 being the last year for which complete data are available. For example, SEER Table II-34 contains the five-year trends for all races. The EAPC rose from 2.1 to 8.7 in males, and from 2.1 to 11.7 in females for the time periods 1975-1979 and 1983-1987, respectively. Although such increases might be attributed to more accurate diagnosis by modern scanning and other diagnostic procedures, three considerations seem to rebut this explanation. First, adequate brain scanning devices were widely available at least one decade ago. Second, the rise in primary brain tumors has been quantitative, and not attributable to changes in nosology. Third, the incidence rates for cancer involving most other systems either remained stable or declined during the 1983-1987 period. The search for nonoccupational etiologic factors of glioblastoma in adults has proved frustrating (2). Hochberg, Toniolo and Cole (3) were unable to document any significant association with a family history of central nervous system (CNS) malignancies or other neurologic conditions.
[CTRL] Clinton Helped Shape 'Every Clause, Every Word and Every Comma'
-Caveat Lector- http://www.time.com/time/pr/ray.html Deal Clinton Made With the Independent Counsel Was More Than A Year In the Making; Clinton Helped Shape 'Every Clause, Every Word and Every Comma' "The underbrush had to be cleared away," Ray told TIME New York -- Friday's deal President Clinton made with Independent Counsel Robert Ray to avoid prosecution was more than a year in the making, TIME reports. It involved clandestine negotiations between the warring parties in which Clinton helped shape "every clause, every word and every comma," as one source describes it. The agreement required compromises from both the President, who until now had insisted that he never lied under oath, and the prosecutor who had vowed to uphold the rule of law. The initial crucial meeting took place in the Map Room at the White House. Within days of Ray's swearing-in as Ken Starr's successor in October 1999, he received a call from the President's private lawyer, David Kendall, who'd spent six years battling Starr. Ray and Kendall began a series of regular talks, and Ray tried to build faith in his fairness, TIME reports in the current issue (on newsstands Monday, Jan. 22nd). Over the next 11 months, he closed investigations that Starr had let drag on for years: the Whitewater land deal, the firing of the White House travel office and alleged misuse of FBI personnel files. Ray issued press releases clearing the President and First Lady of criminal wrongdoing--and made sure he finished several weeks before Election Day in Hillary Clinton's run for the Senate. "The underbrush had to be cleared away," Ray told TIME. However, his actions only made Clinton cockier, TIME's Michael Weisskopf reports. The President had suffered the ignominy of impeachment and a contempt of court finding, but now he was spinning hard, bragging in interviews that he had defended the Constitution by standing up to overzealous prosecutors. Ray knew he had to get Clinton's attention. In July, he empaneled a new grand jury, and after the November election, called in Lewinsky for questioning, increasing pressure on Clinton to cut a deal. If there was going to be a settlement, he wanted it before Clinton left office. About three weeks ago, he asked Kendall for a meeting with the President, according to sources outside Ray's office. He agreed to participate in the first negotiation of criminal matters between a President and prosecutor. Kendall set up the meeting and joined the discussion. Clinton agreed to acknowledge some form of wrongdoing; the issue was what. Ray wanted him to admit that he had lied under oath when he denied having had sexual relations with Lewinsky; at the meeting, Clinton wouldn't budge. The lawyers worked on language over the next two weeks, arriving at a formula in which Clinton admitted for the first time to giving false testimony under oath. By avoiding the word "knowingly," the President skirted the legal definition of perjury. With that breakthrough, the deal came together.

Re: [CTRL] Bush Buddy To Profit From Calif. Energy Woes
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 01/21/2001 2:57:16 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Mercury News Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- One of the top energy advisers to President-elect George W. Bush, who today becomes responsible for crucial decisions in how the federal government will deal with California's energy crisis, has a vested interest in how that crisis is resolved. Ken Lay, chairman and outgoing CEO of Enron, one of the nation's biggest power marketers, has a long and close relationship with Bush. One of his largest political contributors, he helped raise more than $100,000 for Bush's presidential campaign. Those roles raise serious conflict-of-interest questions, according to public watchdog groups. ``There's no secret he has the ear of the president,'' said Larry Makinson, a senior fellow at the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks money in politics. He described Lay as ``the ultimate insider'' on energy and in particular electricity deregulation -- the root of California's current problem. ``Energy deregulation is one of the foundations of the business plan for Enron,'' he said. ``They want it nationally, and Ken Lay has been one of the company's prime movers in this area. ''In addition to potentially boosting the fortunes of his company, Lay stands to make significant gains personally if Enron benefits from the resolution of California's energy woes. His declared holdings in the Houston-based company's stock are 2.9 million shares, valued at $205 million when the market closed Friday. Bush already appears to have followed Lay's lead on one aspect of California's severe energy problem. On Thursday, Bush for the first time said he opposed caps on wholesale power prices in the West, the same position that Lay has long stated. California Gov. Gray Davis has pressed federal regulators for such caps as energy prices have soared. But of course, that's what the whopping donation was all about.

Gray Davis tells Newsweek that he plans to appoint a ``power-plant czar'' this week who will ``honcho'' the completion of five power plants currently under construction and will expedite the permit process for several more in the energy-needy state. Davis tells San Francisco Bureau Chief Karen Breslau in the January 29 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, January 22) that altogether he plans to have 15 new plants under construction before his term ends in 2002. The plants would be the first in the state since the 1980s. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi- bin/prnh/20010120/HSSA005) Davis, who was criticized for not acting faster, is now trying to increase energy supplies and drive down prices. And he tells Newsweek that he talks ``three times a day'' to former Treasury secretary Robert Rubin, now a co-chairman of Citigroup, ``to make sure Wall Street understands what we're doing.'' But the cost of the power crisis and subsequent disruptions are already costing billions of dollars and many experts now fear that the problems of the nation's largest state economy may spill over to the rest of the country, writes Senior Writer Adam Bryant, in a separate story on California's energy crisis. But Gov. Davis dismisses any suggestion that his state's energy problems will weigh heavily on the country's economy. ``California will not drag anyone into recession. It will outperform the rest of the nation.'' (Read Newsweek news releases at http://www.Newsweek.MSNBC.com. Click "Pressroom.")

In the workshop I noticed a sign from Bosch, the german maker of electrical automobile components. There were stars in groups all over the sign, and I started counting. I counted twice, but there was no doubt, a total of 32 stars on the sign. So maybe Bosch was not a masonic operation after all. But then I became aware of, in the middle of the sign, a large half-moon. That added up to 33 celestial objects! Are you convinced? What do our masonic experts say on this?

He admitted he had a drinking problem at one time and hadn't had a drink in 14 years and at the same time made no admissions to being cited for DWI. Not bringing it to the forefront would not constitute lying. We all know the story about the citation and how it surfaced so conveniently just prior to the election, he didn't lie about, he admitted it. Anyone with any measurable degree of intelligence would know the citation would be documented somewhere in the legal system and foolish to lie about. Then what you're saying is you have knowledge of the hidden history of the Whitehouse well enough to know which former Presidents indulged in the act of Oral Sex in the Oval Office.

[CTRL] Who Are the Fringe People?
-Caveat Lector-
I don't know of this sort of thing is of any interest to
this group, but Carla Binion is a powerful, clear, and
articulate new (?) voice and I think she sums up the
situation remarkably well.
Who Are The Fringe People?:
Media and Protests 3
By Carla Binion
In Bush's inaugural speech, which he did not write,
he spoke soaringly of our nation's fate being led by
angels in whirlwinds (or was it sugarplum fairies?)
and of including all Americans. However, in an
MSNBC interview aired the night before the inaugural,
Bush dismissed the vast number of Americans
opposed to Ashcroft and other Cabinet nominations,
describing his opponents as "fringe people" (his
exact words).
Who are the fringe people? The term is vaguely
scary, invoking images of wild, hairy Neanderthals,
peering from caves with spooky intentions of
rising up and doing heaven-knows-what to the
agenda of the wealthy.
Bush became teary-eyed during the inaugural, but
where are his tears for the millions of folks he and his
media bulldogs routinely batter and malign, the so-
called fringe? His speech writers and think tanks put
shimmering words of unity and love into his mouth,
but the actual unspun Bush-brain lets slip his true
prejudices.
Fringe is dictionary-defined as "a marginal or minor
part," and "at the outer edge." Bush and his
mainstream media mouthpieces repeatedly
describe all dissenting environmentalists, African-
Americans, women's rights organizations and civil
liberties groups as "far leftwing fringe."
Most Americans know that groups such as the Sierra
Club, the NAACP, the National Organization for
Women and People for the American Way are
neither far leftwing nor fringe. Most of us also realize
that not all Americans opposed to the Bush
appointees and agenda (yours truly included,
FYI) are members of any organized political group, far
leftwing or
otherwise.
In fact, the people in favor of environmental
protection legislation, legal justice for minorities and
women, and laws protecting civil liberties are the
American mainstream. Robert W. McChesney writes
about the difference between the interests of the
majority of Americans and the interests of the small
minority of wealthy special interests represented
by the likes of the Bush team.
McChesney is a media critic and a research professor
in the Institute of Communications Research and the
Graduate School of Library and Information
Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign. He says: "The needs of the minuscule
investor class can never be equated with the
needs of the citizenry or with the foundations of a
democracy."
Bush and Company would like us to believe they
represent "the American people." In fact, they
represent only about one to five percent of the
people. The remainder of us are fringe.
Robert McChesney says of the miniscule ruling class,
"some go so far as to present democracy as being
defined first and foremost by individual
freedoms to buy and sell property and the right to
invest for profit. That there is any distinction
between those liberties and the democratic
right to free speech, free press, and free assembly is
dismissed categorically."
The Bush team and the mainstream media folks who
promote their views, equate market rights with
political freedom and capitalism with democracy,
a corrolation McChesney rightly calls absurd. Many
nations, McChesney notes, have protected market
rights while "having little respect for any other civil
liberties."
How does the Republican party, which exists to
protect the financial interests of a small minority of
Americans, convince ordinary working people to
support their policies? In a word: avertising. In a less
charitable word: propaganda.
The Republican party spends millions on campaign
ads and takes advantage of free TV time to present
itself as the party of "character." As journalist Bill
Greider says ("Who Will Tell The People," 1992), the
Republican party "poses as the bullwark against
unsettling modernity."
Republicans, says Greider, advertise themselves as
defenders against "alien forces within society that
threaten to overwhelm decent folk -- libertine sexual
behavior, communists, criminals, people of color
demanding more than they deserve." In doing so, the
Republican leadership pretends to care more about
sexual behavior than they actually do, and they play
on fears and prejudices regarding race and class.
Somehow Republicans also manage to convince their
working class supporters that their tax cuts and
other economic plans benefit average working
folks. However, those cuts demonstrably shift the tax
burden from the very wealthy onto the backs of lower
and middle income Americans.
Rush Limbaugh and other media voices of rightwing
outrage give Republicans a virtually non-stop
propaganda vehicle. However, the Limbaugh types
are not the only media promoters of the economic
interests of the wealthiest Americans.

He described Lay as ``the ultimate insider'' on energy and in particular electricity deregulation -- the root of California's current problem. ``Energy deregulation is one of the foundations of the business plan for Enron,'' he said. ``They want it nationally, and Ken Lay has been one of the company's prime movers in this area. ''In addition to potentially boosting the fortunes of his company, Lay stands to make significant gains personally if Enron benefits from the resolution of California's energy woes. His declared holdings in the Houston-based company's stock are 2.9 million shares, valued at $205 million when the market closed Friday. Bush already appears to have followed Lay's lead on one aspect of California's severe energy problem. On Thursday, Bush for the first time said he opposed caps on wholesale power prices in the West, the same position that Lay has long stated. California Gov. Gray Davis has pressed federal regulators for such caps as energy prices have soared. Power marketers such as Enron and power-generating companies want no limit on how much they can charge to sell electricity. Any price caps would have to be approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, a five-member panel to which Bush now will make two appointments and choose its head. On Friday, Lay reiterated his opposition to price caps as well, saying high electricity prices force consumers to conserve in the face of a supply shortage. ``The biggest problem in California is consumers are not going to see the price signals. If they don't see the price signals, they are not changing behavior, so the problem is going to get worse,'' he said of the impact of price caps while at a forum in Washington. ``Painful as it is, they need to see the price signals and start modifying behavior to reduce demand until we get new supplies. ''Lay has been involved in negotiations between California officials, federal regulators, utility officials and energy company executives to try to resolve the crisis by forging agreement on long-term contracts for power sales to California. An aide to Davis said he doesn't believe there is a serious conflict of interest. ``The governor knows that he has the president-elect's ear, and in many ways that can be positive,'' said Davis press aide Steve Maviglio. Lay ``understands the seriousness of the situation,'' Maviglio said. Lay, who was involved in inaugural festivities Friday, could not be reached for comment. But a representative of Enron, which generates very little power for California but does broker deals between utilities and other sources, said there was no conflict between Lay's closeness to the new president and his job. ``We're a buyer and a seller in California, so we don't have any interest in seeing prices be high. We just have an interest in a functioning market,'' said Enron's Mark Palmer. He said the company ``does not necessarily'' stand to gain from higher energy prices. Lay is one of 48 members of the incoming administration's energy policy coordinating group, set up to assist the incoming energy secretary, former U.S. Sen. Spencer Abraham, as he prepares for the job. The group also includes a representative from Southern California Edison, one of the state's teetering utilities, as well as other energy and business interests. But Lay's influence is much deeper than that. The 58-year-old Lay has long been a close friend of his fellow Texan Bush, who was in the oil industry before he became governor of Texas. Enron and its employees were the top overall donor to Bush throughout his political career, giving $550,025 through June 2000, according to the Center for Public Integrity, a non-partisan political research organization. ``They're politically very close, and on a personal basis they're very close,'' said Craig McDonald,
Re: [CTRL] Carla Binion Is George W. some kind of GOP joke or a CIA stooge?
-Caveat Lector-
I found a Nov. '99 article by Carla Binion that I think was rather
prophetic.
sn0owl asked for info about Carla. I met Carla in a political AOL chat
room a few years ago. We ended up on the same informal AOL political email
list. I always valued her input. She's the only other person I've met who
has read and valued Tim Weiner's book, "Blank Check: The Pentagon's Black
Budget" like I do. Carla left our list to devote more time to research
and writing. She collects books on various political subjects, and focuses
mostly on the CIA, fascism, and Nazi integration into the American scene
since WWII.
I've asked Carla for more information I might share. I'll pass it along if
she sends some. I forward most of the feedback fron the list to her. She
appreciates the support.
I think Carla fills an important gap in our knowledge that is needed and
very timely. She is a very nice person, and devoted to her work. As far as
I know, she is earns no money from her research.Samantha

Is George W. some kind of GOP joke or a CIA stooge?
By Carla Binion
November 7, 1999 | Ok, what is the GOP trying to pull? They're kidding with
this George W. for president deal, right? It's not just that George flunked
when asked by a reporter to name the leaders of four different countries. (I
can almost hear strains of Dubya's theme song: "Don't know much about
history, don't know much about geography...") It's that when he mentioned
the coup in Pakistan, he said the coup was a good thing because it would help
bring stability to the region. Whoa! Warning, warning, danger, danger,
CIA-speak! Who did this guy's programming?
The CIA is always singing the praises of one miltary dicator or another for
"bringing stability to a region." This is not a sentiment that most
Americans in possession of all pertinent facts would likely share -- not that
we're allowed much to say about it. What's disturbing is that the phrase
"stability to the region" rolled off Dubya's tongue so easily, as his
lizard-brain reflexes took over when his frontal lobe dropped the ball. Those
darting, reptilian eyes said it all as the interview progressed. The Dubya
was stumped, but his programming did kick in and sort of slop out for all the
world to see.
The last thing we need is yet another affable, passive CIA stooge for
president. Been there, done that. Two recent Democratic presidents, Carter
and Clinton, have occasionally at least held their own on foreign affairs and
stood up to the intelligence services with independent opinions. Carter made
a stab at cleaning up the CIA and resisted CIA policies in Iran, and Clinton
opened some intelligence files. Neither was a total CIA doormat with a blank
check as Reagan and Bush were -- and as Shrub would likely be.
Another thing we don't need is yet another, shall we say, Quayle-like mind in
high political office. We had one Dan Quayle near the presidency, and we all
knew right away that was a no go. Why is it taking so long for Republicans
to see George W. isn't any more viable than Quayle was? What more evidence
do they need -- Shrub's telling us in an interview that the "Kosovanians" and
the "Grecians" are actually from America? ("Don't know much about a science
book. Don't know much about the French I took...")
We need to get a message to the GOP: Save yourselves some time and money. Do
not back this racehorse. Or, maybe we should just sit back and watch the
horse stumble as he gets closer to the finish line. Unless the CIA plans to
fully rig the election (hmmm...) I can't imagine how George W. is so
confident he's going to be our next president. Maybe dad's friends at
Langley have worked out some deal with the Kosovanians to have them show up
in droves at the ballot boxes. Or maybe the Gore camp can alert the public
to Dubya's obvious flaws soon enough to reverse his mind boggling lead and
prevent yet another CIA presidency. What a wonderful world it would be.

[CTRL] Week Ending: 20 January 2001 / 25 Tevet 5761 Part 2
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Meanwhile, an Israeli man from Holon has been arrested on suspicion of having helped turn over one or two suspected "collaborators" to the PA/PLO. The police claim they discovered that the PA/PLO gave the man a check for NIS 5,000 (just over $1,200), which an Israeli bank refused to honor. :: ISRAELI SOLDIERS HANDED OVER TO BIN LADEN? Omar Suweid, Binyamin Avraham, Adi Avitan and Elhanan Tannenbaum were kidnapped in northern Israel by terrorists last October. The Israeli governmentâs failure to answer the agonizing questions posed by the missing menâs families is explained by the extremely sensitive information recently reaching the West, and reported by DEBKAfile from its intelligence and terrorism sources: The captives are believed to have been handed over to the Saudi billionaire terrorist Osama Bin Laden, who may be holding them in one of his secret bases in Afghanistan. There is no information about the menâs condition. Following the kidnapping last October of the four men â the three soldiers on the Lebanese border, and Tannenbaum outside the country - DEBKAfile revealed that the notorious Lebanese hostage-taker Imad Mughniyeh was behind the snatch â not the Hizb'Allah. This ties in with another surprising development, recently pieced together by US intelligence in the course of its investigation of the terrorist-bombing of the US Cole in Aden harbor in the same month as the kidnappings: Iranian spiritual ruler Ayatollah Khameneiâs personal security service, which is headed by Mughniyeh, and Bin Ladenâs al Qaeda have agreed on an operational partnership against US Gulf and Middle East targets as well as Israeli and Jewish interests worldwide. :: CLINTON'S PARTING OFFER: In a farewell gesture, the Clinton administration Friday promised Israel that it would be among the first nations permitted to purchase the radar-evading F-22, the most advanced jet fighter in the US Air Force arsenal. Built primarily by Lockheed Martin, it will replace the F-15 Eagle as the Air Force's top fighter jet. Still in development, the F-22 Raptor will have stealth technology and a unique ability to cruise at supersonic speeds without using afterburners. The pledge was confirmed by a senior State Department official. Apparently, because of the secret stealth technology, Congress would have to give its approval for the sale of the F-22 to Israel or any other country. It is unprecedented for a US president to promise the most technologically advanced weapon in the world to a foreign country before it has been produced. While Clinton's promise does not bind the new administration to sell the jets to Israel, it puts the new President in a very difficult position. If Congress decides to build the troubled F-22, it will be difficult for future administrations to refuse to sell the jet to Israel. Some might characterize Clinton's foreign policy as a disorganized failure. But when it came to the sale of lethal weaponry, this administration did almost everything it could, short of selling fighter aircraft to Iran, to keep America the world's number one arms dealer. :: "ISRAELI SOLIDARITY": An open letter to the residents of Judea and Samaria, Gilo, and the Jordan Valley: "Since the beginning of the violence three months ago, you and your children have been placed in mortal danger day after day, at home and on the roads. During the evenings, the roads become silent, and the communities look as if they are under siege... Close to 50 soldiers and residents, the best of your friends, have lost their lives. I confess that we sinned: Where were we that first week, the week of the High Holidays of 5761? Looking back, it could be that that was the most difficult period of all. But in the past few weeks, there has been a substantial turnabout in the Israeli public's understanding of your strong stand in this war. Just as you were able to increasingly stand heroically in the face of the difficulties, with determination and with no sign of collapsing - so sprouted up the new movement, 'Israeli Solidarity.' Beginning with an initial group of people who met one evening in the Beit She'an Valley to review such basic and long-understood truths such as "We will not abandon them," it continued into mutual support, encouragement, friendship, and hosting, and quickly grew into an authentic populist movement: 'Israeli Solidarity.' Actions include volunteering for guard duty, work in the fields, and much more... More and more citizens from all across the social and political spectrum are putting aside their differences, and organized themselves in this movement to help in whatever area they can... It is very important that you know that the waves of Solidarity are nourished from your strong stand during this war. The stronger and more determined you are, the more we, the residents of [the rest of] Israel, will be able to identify

The high-level negotiations are expected to last from a week to 10 days and will include large delegations from both sides. PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat will head the Palestinian delegation. Israel will be represented by Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami, Transportation Minister Amnon Lipkin-Shahak and Religious Affairs Minister Yossi Beilin, as well as by MK Yossi Sarid (Meretz) and negotiator Gilad Sher. Prime Minister Ehud Barak's "peace cabinet" approved Israel's participation in the talks Saturday evening, although most members expressed grave doubts about the possibility of reaching an agreement in the short time left before the February election. :: PLANS FOR JERUSALEM: Haifa University Prof. Moshe Amirav and his team of experts have completed a plan for Jerusalem for Barak that is based on the US proposal. The plan will serve as a basis for negotiations for Israel. The plan does not address the issue of the Temple Mount, since sovereignty over the site must first be agreed upon by Israeli and Palestinian leaders, Amirav said. A Palestinian team, under the auspices of PLO representative in Jerusalem Faisal Husseini, has also prepared a plan. Amirav said the two sides have met frequently, and stressed they are close to agreement on many points. Amirav said that east Jerusalem would be part of a demilitarized Palestinian state, and that Palestinian police there would be armed only with handguns. According to Amirav's plan, east Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods would be policed by the Palestinian Police; the Israel Police would remain in charge throughout west Jerusalem; and a joint Palestinian-Israeli-international police force is proposed for the mixed neighborhoods and the Old City. The international force would guard all holy sites in the Old City and deal with tourists there. The Palestinians said they are willing to participate in some joint security arrangements, and Amirav said that his Palestinian contacts have accepted the idea in principle. Israel and the Palestinians have also agreed in principle to land exchanges in Jerusalem. Amirav said that, in return for annexing Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem and mixed neighborhoods such as Beit Safafa, Israel would hand over unpopulated land to the Palestinians. In this way, said Amirav, the Palestinians would have territorial continuity. A Palestinian source said the Palestinians will ask Israel for unpopulated land in west Jerusalem in return for neighborhoods like Ma'aleh Adumim. :: "THE TEMPLE MOUNT IS THE HEART": Rabbi Yehuda Amital, co-Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion and leader of the left-wing religious party Meimad, likens the possibility of giving away the Temple Mount to a Torah law for which one should "be killed and not violate." MAKOR RISHON newspaper reports that during his Tenth of Tevet lecture to his students nine days ago, Rabbi Amital said, "Just like the life of an individual is not the supreme value, and there are prohibitions [such as idol worship] which we are commanded to uphold even at the expense of our lives, so too in our national life there are values for which the society and the state must place itself in danger. In our national life, there are issues that are 'red lines,'

-Caveat Lector- Darwin Awards 2000-2001 Hot off the press! The 2000-2001 Darwin Awards The Darwin Awards, for those not familiar, are for those individuals who contribute to the survival of the fittest by eliminating themselves from the gene pool before they have a chance to breed. 1. A young Canadian man from Newfoundland, searching for a way of getting drunk cheaply, because he had no money with which to buy alcohol, mixed gasoline with milk. Not surprisingly, this concoction made him ill, and he vomited into the fireplace in his house. This resulting explosion and fire burned his house down, killing both him and his sister. 2. A 34-year-old white male found dead in the basement of his home died of suffocation, according to police. He was approximately 6'2" tall and weighed 225 pounds. He was wearing a pleated skirt, white bra, black and whitesaddle shoes, and a woman's wig. It appeared that he was trying to create aschoolgirl's uniform look. He was also wearing military gas mask that had the filter canister removed and a rubber hose attached in its place. The other end of the hose was connected to one end of a hollow wooden tube approx. 12" long and 3" in diameter. The tube's other end was inserted into his rear end for reasons unknown, and was the cause of his suffocation. Police found the task of explaining the circumstances of his death to his family very awkward. 3. Three Brazilian men were flying in a light aircraft at low altitude when another plane approached. It appears that they decided to moon the occupantsof the other plane, but lost control of their own aircraft and crashed. Theywere all found dead in the wreckage with their pants around their ankles. 4. A police officer in Ohio responded to a 911 call. She had no details before arriving, except that someone had reported that his father was not breathing. Upon arrival, the officer found the man facedown on the couch, naked. When she rolled him over to check for a pulse and to start CPR, she noticed burn marks around his genitals. After the ambulance arrived and removed the man - who was declared dead on arrival at the hospital - the police made a closer inspection of the couch, and noticed that the man had made a hole between the cushions. Upon flipping the couch over, they discovered what caused his death. Apparently the man had a habit of putting his penis between the cushions, down into the hole and between two electrical sanders (with the sandpaper removed, for obvious reasons). According to the story, after his orgasm the discharge shorted out one of the sanders, electrocuting him. 5. A 27-year-old French woman lost control of her car on a highway near Marseilles and crashed into a tree, seriously injuring her passenger and killing herself. As a commonplace road accident, this would not have qualified for a Darwin nomination, were it not for the fact that the driver's attention had been distracted by her Tamagotchi key ring, which had started urgently beeping for food as she drove along. In an attempt to press the correct buttons to save the Tamagotchi's life, the woman lost her own 6. A 22-year-old Reston, VA man was found dead after he tried to use octopus straps to bungee jump off a 70-foot railroad trestle. Fairfax Countypolice said Eric Barcia, a fast-food worker, taped a bunch of these straps together, wrapped an end around one foot, anchored the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park, jumped and hit the pavement. Warren Carmichael, a police spokesman, said investigators think Barcia was alone because his car was found nearby. "The length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground", Carmichael said. Police say the apparent cause of death was "Major trauma". 7. A man in Alabama died from rattlesnake bites. It seems that heand a friend were playing a game of catch, using the rattlesnake as a ball. The friend - no doubt, a future Darwin Awards candidate - was hospitalised. 8. Employees in a medium-sized warehouse in west Texas noticed the smell of a gas leak. Sensibly, management evacuated the building, extinguishing all potential sources of ignition lights, power, etc. After the building had been evacuated, two technicians from the gas company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found they had difficulty navigating in the dark. To their frustration, none of the lights worked (you can see what's coming, can't you?). Witnesses later described the sight of one of the technicians reaching into his pocket and retrieving an object that resembled a cigarette lighter. Upon operation of the lighter-like object, the gas in the warehouse exploded, sending pieces of it up to three miles away. Nothing was found of the technicians, but the lighter was virtually untouched by

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CONGRESS ACTION: January 21, 2001 = TAXPAYER FUNDED ATTACKS: According to the New York Times, "a broad coalition of liberal public policy organizations" (the London Times counted "more than 200 groups") are engaged in scurrilous attacks on the character of John Ashcroft. Being liberals, they of course deem themselves so much smarter than you, and so deem themselves entitled to use your money -- confiscated from you as taxes by the federal government -- however they see fit, regardless of what you, the taxpayer (who, even though you are so stupid, managed to create the wealth that they, despite all their brilliance, couldn't manage to create by themselves) thinks is appropriate. The following quotes are from just a few of the groups in the anti-Ashcroft jihad. Following the quotes are the total tax dollars received by each group in just the past 4 years, according to a study done by the Capital Research Center of data from the Federal Assistance Awards Data System (FAADS) of the U.S. Census Bureau. Feminist Majority: "His utter lack of understanding of freedom of political speech and the right to take political action to achieve social justice exemplifies a track record where his right-wing ideology prevails over his legal judgment." Taxpayer money received in the last 4 years: $115,440. NAACP: "It is outrageously disingenuous for President-elect George Bush to say he intends to reach out to all Americans and then nominate Ashcroft, a man who has an anti-civil rights record, to hold the nation's highest law enforcement position." Taxpayer money received in the last 4 years: $1,153,928. National Organization for Women (NOW): "Both Ashcroft and Thompson would turn over tax money -- including public education funds -- to religious institutions' programs, without adequate protection against proselytizing and discrimination. . The majority of voters in this country, especially women voters, reject the agenda of religious and political extremists. " Taxpayer money received in the last 4 years: $1,168,252. Physicians for Social Responsibility: Ashcroft's ".slavish devotion to the National Rifle Association - including personally recording ads for the NRA endorsing a doomed law that would have granted child molesters and stalkers the right to carry concealed weapons - is what particularly concerns Physicians for Social Responsibility.. Ashcroft's commitment to ensuring freedom for weapons was a major factor in his departure from the Senate and underscores the growing tide of opinion against the NRA." Taxpayer money received in the last 4 years: $15,000. Planned Parenthood: ".reject the nomination of anti-choice extremist former Senator John Ashcroft. . As attorney general, Ashcroft would rob us and our children and grandchildren of Americans' most fundamental right to privacy.". Taxpayer money received in the last 4 years: $57,214,090. Sierra Club: "Ashcroft has an exceedingly poor environmental voting record and is openly hostile to most environmental laws. . Ashcroft also opposes campaign finance reform. . Former Senator John Ashcroft has an extreme anti-environmental record, and as Attorney General could allow utilities, big oil and others to ignore environmental laws. He is a partisan, divisive choice for a job that should be neither, and should not be confirmed." Taxpayer money received in the last 4 years: $12,171. Aren't you glad that you are paying taxes for this? Taxes which, let us not forget, have generated budget surpluses into the hundreds of billions of dollars. Surpluses which, according to left-wing extremist groups and politicians, the government simply cannot afford to give back to you in the form of tax cuts, because they need every last dollar of it -- to help fund the scurrilous character assassination of conservatives. And as the quote from NARAL makes clear, they're going to spend "whatever it takes" -- of your money -- to pursue those attacks. Nobody seeks to in any way stifle the First Amendment free speech rights of those extremist groups. Not like they are trying to stifle John Ashcroft's First Amendment right to the free exercise of his religion. But it would be nice (even though entirely out of character, if such a word may be used in connection with those groups) if those groups had the common decency, and a modicum of respect for taxpayers, to use their own money and money contributed to them voluntarily by their members, rather than using the forced extractions of money from taxpayers who may not agree with their extremist ideology. But, it is countered, nobody is seeking to deny Ashcroft his right to the free exercise of his religion, just to deny him federal resources to do so. Aren't conservatives advocating exactly that, trying to give Ashcroft federal resources to advance his religious beliefs, while denying federal resources to those left-wing groups to

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! __O__ EDITORIAL EXEGESIS "When George W. Bush takes office on Saturday he'll have to deal with more than a divided Congress. Far more threatening is a legal culture that has reduced the rule of law to a set of political opportunities, exposing us all to arbitrary power. That culture is already on display in the confirmation hearings for John Ashcroft, which are focused on everything but the real problem -- the demise of the rule of law under Bill Clinton. ... The legal culture that Mr. Clinton has bequeathed to him -- stretching from the legal academy to the organized bar to the bench -- is run through with people indifferent to the rule of law, operating in a legal landscape now bereft of restraints that would once have checked them. A few years back, lawyer-journalist Stuart Taylor asked law professor and media mogul Susan Estrich to explain her support for Anita Hill in the Clarence Thomas matter and her opposition to Paula Jones in the case of Mr. Clinton. Her candid answer speaks volumes: 'You believe in principle, I believe in politics.' Welcome to Washington, Mr. Bush. It's a long way from Austin." --Wall Street Journal __O__ SECOND OPINION INAUGURAL ADMONITIONS "It would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official act my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained: and since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered, perhaps, as deeply, as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people." --George Washington, First Inaugural Address, 1789 "And may that Being who is supreme over all, the Patron of Order, the Fountain of Justice, and the Protector in all ages of the world of virtuous liberty, continue His blessing upon this nation and its Government and give it all possible success and duration consistent with the ends of His providence." --John Adams, Inaugural Address, 1797 "...Enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man, acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter -- with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more...a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities. ... " --Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, 1801 "During this course of administration, and in order to disturb it, the artillery of the press has been leveled against us, charged with whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare. These abuses of an institution so important to freedom and science are deeply to be regretted, inasmuch as they tend to lessen its usefulness and to sap its safety." --Thomas Jefferson "To support the Constitution, which is the cement of the Union, as well in its limitations as in its authorities; to respect the rights and authorities reserved to the States and to the people as equally incorporated with an essential to the success of the general system; to avoid the slightest interference with the right of conscience or the functions of religion, so wisely exempted from civil jurisdiction" --James Madison, First Inaugural Address, 1808 "It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising the sovereignty. Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin." --James Monroe, First Inaugural Address, 1817 "The best results in the operation of a government wherein every citizen has a share largely depend upon a proper limitation of the purely partisan zeal and effort and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged in the patriotism of the citizen. ... At this hour the animosities of political strife, the bitterness of partisan defeat, and the exultation of partisan triumph should be supplanted by an ungrudging acquiescence in the popular will and a sober, conscientious concern for the general

Regarding Clinton's televised farewell speech last night, White House mouth Jake Siewert said, "It was an opportunity for the president to thank the American people for their support over the years and talk a bit about how America has changed for the better." That explains why it was one of Clinton's shortest TV speeches on record -- unless, of course, you count the one when he declared, "I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky." For his part, Mr. Bush told a gathering of 10,000 supporters in Texas, "Our deepest values in life often come from our earliest years," he said. "It is here in Midland and in West Texas where I learned to respect people from different backgrounds. It is here where I learned what it means to be a good neighbor at backyard barbecues or just chatting across the fence. It is here in West Texas where I learned to trust in God. I leave here really upbeat about getting some things done for the people, getting something accomplished for the people of this land by putting aside all the partisan bickering and name-calling and anger. You see, I've never been a cynic about public service." Regarding Democratic opposition to his agenda, Mr. Bush said, "I took firm positions on important issues and didn't back off. And I'm not backing off Quite the contrary, I'm going to take those issues I campaigned on and campaign hard for their enactment. Because I believe it's the right thing for the country." Arriving in Washington Thursday, Mr. Bush was greeted by the Left's "partisan bickering and name-calling and anger" in hearings for his Cabinet nominees. For the moment, he has chosen to ignore the din and focus on the delivery of his inaugural address (which we will review in detail next week). Before listening to Mr. Bush's inaugural comments, read this week's Second Opinion feature, "Inaugural Admonitions." Leftist blowhards in the House of Lords are indulging themselves at a borkfest -- a borking frenzy. You recall the reception Teddy Kennedy gave President Reagan's Supreme Court nominee, Robert Bork, in 1987: "In Robert Bork's America...blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters; rogue police would break down citizens' doors in midnight raids." Kennedy's attack was so vitriolic that it was coined as "borking." First on record using the term was NOW feminist Flo Kennedy ranting about Clarence Thomas's nomination in 1991: "We're going to bork him. We're going to kill him politically." Last week, the New York Times had a special section rating the Bush cabinet nominees as "likely borkees and their probable score on the bork-o-meter." This week, Judge Bork himself commented, "It's beginning to feel like homeweek with all the old crowd -- People for the American Way, National Organization of Women, AFL-CIO, National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League and scores of other Leftist groups and senators -- gathered round to bring down and pick the bones of another presidential nominee. It's enough to make a man nostalgic." Once again, Teddy Kennedy was at his worst, attacking Bush Attorney General nominee John Ashcroft with a vigor heretofore unseen. Of his former Senate colleague, Teddy bellowed and blustered: "I think this nominee owes an apology to the people of the United States for that insinuation, talking about our government now being the source of tyrannical oppression. That's what I think, senator. I don't retreat. I don't retreat on any one of those matters." Of course, Mr. Ashcroft is to be praised for seeing and calling the central government what it really is -- to the dismay of Sociocrat tyrants like the Senator who killed Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick, but has, for almost 40 years, retained the throne he uses to assail men of virtue like John Ashcroft. Fearing he is short on votes to defeat Ashcroft's nomination, Kennedy plans to filibuster. But in 1995, Kennedy had this to say about

[CTRL] Cheney a Good Choice for Capitalism
-Caveat Lector- .. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related "New Paradigms Posts" at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: "redflag" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cheney a Good Choice for Capitalism Date: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 11:22 PM THE PEOPLE SEPTEMBER 2000 VOL. 110 NO. 6 DICK CHENEY A PERFECT V.P. CHOICE^KFOR CAPITALISM BY DIANE SECOR Why was Dick Cheney selected to be George W. Bush's running mate? He is not just a close, trusted friend of the Bush clan, a loyal Republican or a recycled secretary of defense. Cheney has served a broad cross section of capitalist interests in government and industry. According to the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), Cheney is on the boards of several major corporations having extensive international business ties. Most significant among these is his position as "CEO of Halliburton Co., a $9 billion oil services firm based in Dallas," which does "business in at least 100 countries." Most of that business is in oil and construction contracts. As secretary of defense during the Bush administration, Cheney led the charge in defense of American oil interests in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. However, his service to U.S. capitalism and its political state did not end when he left office in 1992. As CEO of Halliburton since 1995, Cheney has made himself useful to the Democratic Clinton-Gore administration's war and "peacekeeping" effort in the Balkans. According to the company Web site, for example, its subsidiary Brown Root Services has had major Pentagon contracts for "base camp construction" and other military projects in "Bosnia, Macedonia, Hungary, Kosovo, Albania, Croatia, Greece and Italy." Another bipartisan capitalist cause that Cheney has championed is U.S. oil interests in the Caspian Sea region. He has cultivated close relations with governments and investors in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, which are the gatekeepers to many of the multibillion-dollar Caspian petroleum-related contracts. The CPI reported that "along with the heads of Chevron and Texaco Inc., Cheney sits on Kazakhstan's Oil Advisory Board" to Kazakhstan's president. In addition, Cheney reportedly "lobbied in favor of a U.S. Export-Import Bank loan to Tyumen Oil," a Russian company that "hired Halliburton to upgrade the giant Samotlor field in the Caspian region." These international political and economic connections will win the Bush-Cheney ticket support among American capitalists who are concerned about protecting their holdings in Russia and elsewhere. The Republican Bush-Cheney team has promised a new administration free of scandal. In this regard, Cheney brings some risks to the ticket. Under Cheney's leadership, for example, Halliburton has had commercial dealings with Iraq and Libya designed to circumvent U.S.-imposed embargoes against these two "rogue states" or "states of concern." According to Colum Lynch, Halliburton had "a major stake in Dresser-Rand and Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Co., two American players in the reconstruction of Iraq's oil industry." (THE WASHINGTON POST, Feb. 20) As the United States and Britain continue their bombing of Iraq's northern and southern "no fly" zones, U.S. firms such as Halliburton continue to profit off Saddam's regime. In Libya, Halliburton has managed to get around a U.S. embargo on exports to that North African country by using its British subsidiary, Brown Root North Africa. According to Tom Buerkle of the INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE, this company, other contractors and the Libyan government claim that one project they are involved in is just a water pipeline. The pipeline runs 1,800 miles "from deep in the Sahara Desert to Libyan cities along the Mediterranean." However, "some Western security analysts" claim that this vast pipeline complex could "hold vehicles" and "several underground caverns" for clandestine Libyan military operations. The contractors have also attempted to account for the American construction equipment in use on the project by saying that it was purchased before l986 when the embargo banning U.S. exports to Libya took effect. Cheney has called for an end to sanctions against Libya, Iran and Nigeria that try to limit U.S. petroleum and construction investments in those countries. The direct link of Cheney as vice president to shady deals with "rogue regimes" would make "plausible deniability" nearly impossible. Whether his Iraqi and Libyan connections are swept under the rug as minor infractions or erupt into an Iran-Contra- type scandal remains to be seen. In any event, the promise of a new "ethical" administration is a joke. The name of the game is to uphold U.S. capitalist interests by hook or by crook. For this task, Cheney is more than qualified to be vice president of U.S. capitalism's political state. -- "Nowadays, atheism is itself *culpa levis*, as compared with

[CTRL] Contrails/Weather Control aka Modification
-Caveat Lector- Thursday afternoon I wore only a jacket and visited an establishment in Columbus, Ohio in more of a country atmosphere. Upon leaving at about 4:30 I walked out into this somewhat open area, and above me edging to 1:00 was the biggest contrail I ever saw in my life - it was sunny, and clear but for this one huge contrail that clear across the sky but it looked huge in width - it looked like when the Challenger went up leaving this trail right before it exploded - more like satellite contrails. Later I noted in the southern sky the 2nd contrail...I cannot destribte how wide this contrail was and it was lower. Then the next day weather gets colder and snow. Week before there were contrails possibly planes from Rickenbacker even though is just refueling now, and/or Wright Field. Now, Weather Modification and Radar system are hooked together someway - a gentleman wrote suggesting this was this HAARP think. During this time my one sign got very ill - he travels, and now has bronchitis something he NEVER had before, but it made me wonder. Further since 1965 this program has been classified.they speak of weather seeding clouds, but this stuff is being done by satellite, and I believe like these mysterious (so called) crop markings, circle cuttings in fields, and these contrails - they are marking areas for targeting changes. Dopper when you have medical tests are related to weather program someway..using equiptment like radar measuring movements. all this is old stuff - dead birds, geese off course, ship to shore communications breaking down from time to time - plane crashes? Is this why everyone is supposed to have a flight plan but what if planes are off schedule or coming in at a later timelike JFK Jr., or what? I heard of this program then called "control" in the 50 period when I was very, very young - present at this garden party - which ws held by General Edwin Booth - who later headed up Task Force in Europe - and the last Commodore - they were laughing and talking about this TV "star" making remark about weather control - that whether we liked it or not, it would be fact within 20 years.he stood by USAF jet plane - he was in reserves - guy by name of Arthur Godfrey who was big propaanda tool and later lost popularity, because he had a big mouth, I think.. In 1985 when our temperature hit 105 here - for over or about a week.I then remembered things I had heard when younger and read - for instance Viet Nam monsoons brought in months before schedule to aid us in war = Castrol claiming that US had used the program against Cuba in devasting hurricane which swept across island 4 times (same one)..and we had this Bermuda Triangle stuff - and now suddenly you hear about El Nino and La Nina.they are nothing new for Plato mentions hese underground streams - one hot, one cold and somehow they connect to the jet streams in the skyall being manipulated. Well I was mad in 1986 whether weather getting worse my house hit by lighning 3 times in 2 years (one TV wrecked, and my web put out and burnt up by lighting - and one tree a big fireball it itsounded like WWII).but they now have the artificial lightning - or would laser be more appropriate? This MUIR is connected to this, that old rattletrap and these people have been working with Russia and Red China and have in their quest to control the weather, destroyed our farmers and someday when the flowers no longer bloom on the trees, you will have no peaches, oranges, cherries - bad crops all for the sake of these lousey third world countries and Russia - idea is to warm up Russia and Udall in the 70 period was in on this stuff to his neck. What I knew, I knew from speculation and remembering things when my brother in law went to War College and was under Vandenberg at Joint Chief of Staff and other places..he had many friends including Hap Arnold and was pall bearer for this great manArnold's son married Barbara Douglas of McConnel Douglass and was stationed in England with my sister and brother in law and were good friends.this started the missile sites and BMEWS over which he was Thor Chief in England and the idea was then to defend this country and allies with all it took. So who sabotaged the Apollo? Who blew up the Challenger - and why did Russian trawlers leave the scene immediately before as though they knew something would happen.. All this stuff fits into top secret stuff - and I do know this, when I told my brother in law that the Apollo was sabotaged, etc.he said "lay off the ESP stuff - forget this stuff, it is dangerous, etc etc etc" and forbid me to speak of anything connected to it..so, this one man said I had become attuned to the cosmos, whatever that meant. Our homes are all wired for cable - sky full of satellites transmitting day and night and we all are becoming receivers - some more sensitive than others.. Astronaut Edgar Mitchell

[CTRL] Reversal of Fortune
-Caveat Lector- From www.wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : Middle East Zionism's legacy of ethnic cleansing Part 1Israel and the Palestinian right of return By Jean Shaoul 22 January 2001 Back to screen version At the heart of the breakdown of the Middle East talks lies the refusal of the Zionist state to accept the right of return for the Palestinians who lost their homes and country after the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The following is the first of a two-part article on this subject. The second and concluding partIsraeli expansion creates more Palestinian refugeswill appear tomorrow. According to the United Nations, there are presently some 3.5 million Palestinian refugees. They are comprised of those expelled, or their descendants, following the first Arab-Israeli war of 1948-49 and the 1967 Six-Day War, as well as countless others who have since been expelled from the Occupied Territories or Israel. The majority have lived their lives in wretched conditions in refugee camps in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Many now live elsewhere in the Middle East, while others have moved to the West. Israel adamantly refuses to acknowledge the principle of the right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants because this would be tantamount to accepting responsibility for what happened to them. Moreover, since it would end the Jewish majority in Israel, it has been repeatedly denounced as a threat to the very survival of the Zionist state. Outgoing President Bill Clinton tried to find a face-saving formula that could accommodate the Israelis and enable Yassir Arafat, the Palestinian Authority chairman, to sell a framework for a final agreement to his people. Clinton has proposed that Israel accept the return of 100,000 refugees as part of a policy of reuniting families; that the Palestine Authority accept several hundred thousand; and that an international fund be set up to provide compensation for the rest. While the final numbers would be subject to negotiation, the deal on offer does not address the fundamental issue of Palestinian rights. Even this proposal is unacceptable to the Israeli political elite, which refuses to accept more than a handful of refugees back into Israel. Neither would a Palestinian state with a population substantially enlarged by a massive influx of refugees be tolerated on its borders. The origins of the Israeli state The state of Israel was founded in 1948, following the catastrophe that overtook European Jewry in the 1930s and 1940s, and which culminated in the extermination of 6 million Jews in the Nazi concentration camps. The Zionist movement was able to channel the despondency felt by Jews at what had happened behind a perspective for creating a separate Jewish state through the partition of Palestine, which had been controlled by Britain since 1917. A Jewish state would build, it was claimed, a just and democratic haven for a people who had faced discrimination and oppression for centuries. It would be a state defined uniquely, not in geopolitical terms, but by religion. Its doors would be open to all who subscribed to Judaism. The formation of such a state inside Palestine, a country where Jews were in the minority, inevitably led to what today would be called ethnic cleansing. Zionism's central slogan was: A land without people for a people without land. Thus the very foundation of the state was based on profoundly undemocratic principles: the denial of the rights of non-Jews already living there. It would also sanction control by religious authorities, something that modern states had rejected and overthrown centuries ago. The sympathy felt throughout the world for the plight of the Jews following World War Two lent support for the creation of such a state. In addition, the major powers, and particularly the United States, saw the establishment of Israel as a means of enhancing their own strategic interests in the region, or at least blocking those of Britain, which was then the dominant power in the Middle East. As a result, in November 1947, the Zionists were successful in persuading the United Nations General Assemblyto the fury of the Arab worldto vote for the partition of Palestine into two states: one Palestinian and one Jewish. In May 1948, Ben Gurion (who was to become Israel's first prime minister) proclaimed the establishment of the state of Israel. War immediately broke out between the Jews and the Palestinians, who were supported by neighbouring Arab countries. The fighting was to last until January 1949. The 1948-49 war and the systematic expulsion of the Palestinians The take-over of Palestinian land was the essential prerequisite for the founding of the state of Israel. Although the UN had expected London would help implement the partition plan, Britain hastily pulled out its administrative and military forces from Palestine, wanting no part in implementing the proposals. This was not
[CTRL] None Dare Call It Treason
-Caveat Lector- radman pull quote: "The stark reality, and I say this with every fiber of my being, is that the institution Americans trust the most to protect its freedoms and principles committed one of the biggest and most serious crimes this nation has ever seen, pure and simple, the theft of the presidency." == February 5, 2001 None Dare Call It Treason http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20010205s=bugliosi by VINCENT BUGLIOSI* In the December 12 ruling by the US Supreme Court handing the election to George Bush, the Court committed the unpardonable sin of being a knowing surrogate for the Republican Party instead of being an impartial arbiter of the law. If you doubt this, try to imagine Al Gore's and George Bush's roles being reversed and ask yourself if you can conceive of Justice Antonin Scalia and his four conservative brethren issuing an emergency order on December 9 stopping the counting of ballots (at a time when Gore's lead had shrunk to 154 votes) on the grounds that if it continued, Gore could suffer "irreparable harm," and then subsequently, on December 12, bequeathing the election to Gore on equal protection grounds. If you can, then I suppose you can also imagine seeing a man jumping away from his own shadow, Frenchmen no longer drinking wine. From the beginning, Bush desperately sought, as it were, to prevent the opening of the door, the looking into the box, unmistakable signs that he feared the truth. In a nation that prides itself on openness, instead of the Supreme Court doing everything within its power to find a legal way to open the door and box, they did the precise opposite in grasping, stretching and searching mightily for a way, any way at all, to aid their choice for President, Bush, in the suppression of the truth, finally settling, in their judicial coup d'tat, on the untenable argument that there was a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause, the Court asserting that because of the various standards of determining the voter's intent in the Florida counties, voters were treated unequally, since a vote disqualified in one county (the so-called undervotes, which the voting machines did not pick up) may have been counted in another county, and vice versa. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Florida Supreme Court's order that the undervotes be counted, effectively delivering the presidency to Bush. Now, in the equal protection cases I've seen, the aggrieved party, the one who is being harmed and discriminated against, almost invariably brings the action. But no Florida voter I'm aware of brought any action under the equal protection clause claiming he was disfranchised because of the different standards being employed. What happened here is that Bush leaped in and tried to profit from a hypothetical wrong inflicted on someone else. Even assuming Bush had this right, the very core of his petition to the Court was that he himself would be harmed by these different standards. But would he have? If we're to be governed by common sense, the answer is no. The reason is that just as with flipping a coin you end up in rather short order with as many heads as tails, there would be a "wash" here for both sides, i.e., there would be just as many Bush as Gore votes that would be counted in one county yet disqualified in the next. (Even if we were to assume, for the sake of argument, that the wash wouldn't end up exactly, 100 percent even, we'd still be dealing with the rule of de minimis non curat lex, the law does not concern itself with trifling matters.) So what harm to Bush was the Court so passionately trying to prevent by its ruling other than the real one: that he would be harmed by the truth as elicited from a full counting of the undervotes? And if the Court's five-member majority was concerned not about Bush but the voters themselves, as they fervently claimed to be, then under what conceivable theory would they, in effect, tell these voters, "We're so concerned that some of you undervoters may lose your vote under the different Florida county standards that we're going to solve the problem by making sure that none of you undervoters have your votes counted"? Isn't this exactly what the Court did? Gore's lawyer, David Boies, never argued either of the above points to the Court.
