Re: [CTRL] SNET: Lights out for Bush administration? (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Is it not somewhat arrogant for a State, California in this case, to refuse to build more facilities openly stating that they are protecting their OWN environment and wanting to have their electricity produced elsewhere, polluting the environment of others. Then they can just buy it cheaply and lecture everybody else on how they should protect the environment, etc. Well, it seems to have backfired and the other utilities are just not selling t as cheaply as expected. But this is the 'not in my backyard' at its worst. Pollute Texas but not here where WE live. They have known for 18 months that the problem was major but refused to act. Guess they assumed the other utilities would be so greedy they would sell them all the electricity needed without having to get their own hands (environment) dirty. It is hard to feel sorry for them with this attitude but unfortunately California is a large portion of the economy and this is going to hurt the entire nation. That part I certainly do regret. But even here in the TVA area, our electricity is very expensive and we manufacture our own. Can't see why California should have it both ways when the rest of us do not. ~Amelia~ - Original Message - From: Steve Wingate [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2001 2:23 PM Subject: Re: [CTRL] SNET: Lights out for Bush administration?

[CTRL] A Question of Governing From the Right
-Caveat Lector- Friday May 25 08:32 AM EDT A Question of Governing From the Right By NEWS ANALYSIS By RICHARD L. BERKE The New York Times Senator James M. Jeffords's decision to become an independent is an example of the perils of President Bush (news - web sites)'s strategy of governing from the right. WASHINGTON, May 24 Senator James M. Jeffords's defection from the Republican Party cannot be dismissed as the isolated case of an exasperated lawmaker who felt that he was not getting proper attention from the White House. Many influential Democrats and Republicans agree that Mr. Jeffords's decision to become an independent is a striking example of the perils of President Bush's strategy of governing from the right. Some Republicans fear that Mr. Bush's stands on the environment, abortion and other matters scared Mr. Jeffords out of his party. Now that the Republicans have lost control of the Senate, the White House and party leaders on Capitol Hill face a fundamental political question: Should they take Mr. Jeffords's move as a lesson and moderate their positions, or continue to press the case for conservatives and risk alienating more liberal Republican voters and politicians? Senator Olympia J. Snowe, a Republican from Maine, said Mr. Jeffords's defection should be a wake- up call for our party's leaders that the voices of moderate Republicans must be welcomed and respected. Even more conservative members like Senator Sam Brownback, a Kansas Republican, said his party should try to broaden its appeal without sacrificing its principles. We do need to present additional aspects of the agenda and not put as much emphasis on some agenda items, he said. For instance, we should be out there with an aggressive, market- based, pro-environment agenda and aggressively pushing that forward. Democrats, too, asserted that Mr. Bush should be more solicitous of the moderate wing of his party. What I thought he would do when he became president was to do what he said during the campaign: to lead from the middle, said former Vice President Walter F. Mondale, a Democrat who represented Minnesota in the Senate for 12 years. You always try to find common ground. If he had done that, he'd be amazed at how popular he would be. For some reason, he seems to be preoccupied with keeping the right happy, and that is being noticed in the country. But in a display of the cross-pressures Mr. Bush faces, Jack F. Kemp, the prominent conservative, argued that the president has tried to reach to the middle, and that the education bill that passed the House this week was a prime example. He's been willing to work on both sides of the issues even though he doesn't get much credit for it from the press, Mr. Kemp said. He's been working with people on education, on the tax bill, on foreign policy. He's got Colin Powell (news - web sites) down in Africa talking about AIDS (news - web sites). He added: What do they want from this president? For him to follow Jim Jeffords over to the Democratic Party? More than Mr. Bush's agenda, the course of the Republican Party may be at stake. In the view of many Democrats, Mr. Jeffords has given voice to their contention that the Republican Party has shifted to the right of the public on critical issues. As a result, Republicans say they are feeling pressure now to move swiftly to make good on their election-time appeals to bipartisanship. Yet there were no assurances today that that would happen. Mr. Bush and Senator Trent Lott, the Republican leader, made clear that they were not about to back down from their basic beliefs. Mr. Lott, for one, said Republicans were unified and committed to pushing Mr. Bush's priorities. The risk is that the White House has laid out an agenda on issues from missile defense to privatizing Social Security (news - web sites) that Democrats argue is not in line with many voters. The one Republican whose stature (and ability to irritate Mr. Bush) will be enhanced is Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican, who has co- sponsored pending bills with many Democrats who will be in the majority. Tolerance of dissent is the hallmark of a mature party, he said, and it is well past time for the Republican Party to grow up. Mr. Jeffords's decision catapults Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota to the position of majority leader, and makes him the most powerful figure in his party. But with his authority to set the legislative agenda, Mr. Daschle will also face intense pressure to make sure that the Democrats deliver before the midterm elections next year. They can no longer use the Republican Congress as their foil. Nevertheless, the unexpected switch in control gives the Democrats an enormous morale boost, and perhaps will lead some Republican senators who do not relish being in the minority to retire. The Democrats are in emotional orbit, said Ross K. Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University. And the Republicans have learned the costly lesson that
[CTRL] New Study Pinpoints Source of Impulsive Behavior
-Caveat Lector- Thursday May 24 2:24 PM ET New Study Pinpoints Source of Impulsive Behavior By Katherine Hunt WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Trying to choose between a cookie or a carrot at snack time? A newly identified ``hot spot'' on the brain may be the key to impulsive behavior, involved in the critical choice between instant gratification and delayed reward, researchers said on Thursday. In a study reported in the journal Science, researchers examined the nucleus accumbens, located at the base of the forebrain. The region responds to natural rewards such as food and sex, as well as drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine, through their effects on the neurotransmitter chemical dopamine. ``We have shown that damage or dysfunction of the nucleus accumbens can cause, without a doubt, impulsive choice,'' said study author Rudolf Cardinal, of the Department of Experimental Psychology in Britain's University of Cambridge. The findings have implications for the treatment and understanding of drug addiction, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anti-social behavior, all of which are linked to the impulse for instant gratification. The researchers trained rats to choose between a small immediate reward and a larger, delayed reward. In tests after their nucleus accumbens were damaged, the researchers found the rats tended to choose the instant gratification of the small reward, rather than the larger reward delivered after a delay. ``We already knew that there was a correlation between abnormalities in the nucleus accumbens and impulsive behavior,'' Cardinal said. ``Now we have clear evidence that such abnormalities can cause this behavior.'' Lesions on two other regions of the brain that send information to the nucleus accumbens, the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex, did not cause the rats to act impulsively, the study found. The findings ``suggest the nucleus accumbens core, at least for impulsive choice, is a critical region,'' Cardinal said. The research also sheds new light on drugs like Ritalin (news - web sites), used to treat ADHD by affecting the dopamine systems in the brain. ``Our research suggests that (Ritalin's) actions in the nucleus accumbens may responsible for its beneficial affects on impulsive behavior,'' he said. A SMOKER'S CHOICE Like most discoveries, the study has triggered more questions. ``I think it's an interesting question to ask, why were the animals with nucleus accumbens lesions impulsive?'' Cardinal said. ``Were they impulsive because they were less sure that in fact, delayed reward was coming?'' The cigarette smoker's choice is a good analogy, he said, and further research is needed to determine what is going on, he said. The choice is cigarettes now or avoiding lung cancer later, he said. So does the smoker really believe that cigarettes cause lung cancer? Or maybe the smoker believes cigarettes cause cancer but cares less about long-term health than the instant buzz. ``That's one question about the underlying psychology,'' Cardinal said. ``Do you make your impulsive choices in the full knowledge of what you are getting yourself into? Or do you lack insight into the consequences?''

[CTRL] [Spy News] Kerrey, CIA and War Crimes part 2 (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sat, 26 May 2001 12:10:12 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Spy News] Kerrey, CIA and War Crimes part 2 Phoenix Comes Home To Roost By 1969 the CIA, through Phoenix, was targeting individual VCI and their families all across Vietnam. Over 20,000 people were assassinated by the end of the year and hundreds of thousands had been tortured in Province Interrogation Centers. On 20 June 1969, the Lower House of the Vietnamese Congress held hearings about abuses in the Phoenix VCI elimination program. Eighty- six Deputies signed a petition calling for its immediate termination. Among the charges: Special Police knowingly arrested innocent people for the purpose of extortion; people were detained for as long as eight months before being tried; torture was commonplace. Noting that it was illegal to do so, several deputies protested instances in which American troops detained or murdered suspects without Vietnamese authority. Others complained that village chiefs were not consulted before raids, such as the one on Thanh Phong. After an investigation in 1970, four Congresspersons concluded that the CIA's Phoenix Program violated international law. The people of these United States, they jointly stated, have deliberately imposed upon the Vietnamese people a system of justice which admittedly denies due process of law, and that in doing so, we appear to have violated the 1949 Geneva Convention for the protection of civilian people. During the hearings, U.S. Representative Ogden Reid said, if the Union had had a Phoenix program during the Civil War, its targets would have been civilians like Jefferson Davis or the mayor of Macon, Georgia. But the American establishment and media denied it then, and continue to deny it until today, because Phoenix was a genocidal program -- and the CIA officials, members of the media who were complicit through their silence, and the red-blooded American boys who carried it out, are all war criminals. As Michael Ratner a lawyer at the Center for Constitutional Rights told CounterPunch: Kerrey should be tried as a war criminal. His actions on the night of February 24-25, 1969 when the seven man Navy Seal unit which he headed killed approximately twenty unarmed Vietnamese civilians, eighteen of whom were women and children was a war crime. Like those who murdered at My Lai, he too should be brought into the dock and tried for his crimes. Phoenix, alas, also was fiendishly effective and became a template for future CIA operations. Developed in Vietnam and perfected with the death squads and media blackout of Afghanistan and El Salvador, it is now employed by the CIA around the world: in Colombia, in Kosovo, in Ireland with the British MI6, and in Israel with its other kindred spirit, the Mossad. The paymasters at the Pentagon will keep cranking out billion dollar missile defense shields and other Bush league boondoggles. But when it comes to making the world safe for international capitalism, the political trick is being more of a homicidal maniac, and more cost effective, than the terrorists. Incredibly, Phoenix has become fashionable, it has adhered a kind of political cachet. Governor Jesse Ventura claims to have been a Navy Seal and to have hunted man. Fanatical right-wing US Representative Bob Barr, one of the Republican impeachment clique, has introduced legislation to re-legalize assassinations. David Hackworth, representing the military establishment, defended Kerrey by saying there were thousands of such atrocities, and that in 1969 his own unit committed at least a dozen such horrors. Jack Valenti, representing the business establishment and its financial stake in the issue, defended Kerrey in the LA Times, saying, all the normalities (sic) of a social contract are abandoned, in war. Bullshit. A famous Phoenix operation, known as the My Lai Massacre, was proceeding along smoothly, with a grand total of 504 Vietnamese women and children killed, when a soldier named Hugh Thompson in a helicopter gunship saw what was happening. Risking his life to preserve that social contract, Thomson landed his helicopter between the mass murderers and their victims, turned his machine guns on his fellow Americans, and brought the carnage to a halt. Same with screenwriter and journalist Bill Broyles, Vietnam veteran, and author Brothers In Arms, an excellent book about the Vietnam War. Broyles turned in a bunch of his fellow Marines for killing civilians. If Thompson and Broyles were capable of taking individual responsibility, everyone is. And many did. Phoenix Reborn There is no doubt that Bob Kerrey committed a war crime. As he admits, he went to Vietnam with a knife clenched between his teeth and did what he was trained to do kidnap, assassinate and mass murder civilians. But there was no point to his atrocity as he soon learned, no controlling legal authority.
[CTRL] UFO On Abductions the Military: Preliminary findings of Priject MILAB
-Caveat Lector- [The following paper is probably one of the best efforts at objectivity in regards to the alien abduction phenomenon that I have ever read (it has a wonderful bibliography!). I found the below on a news group where it was posted by the author after he had prefaced it with the following short e-mail to an ssociate. --MS] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 16 Oct 1996 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Article on military involvement in [alien] abductions. Dear Ed, This is a research paper concerning alleged military abductions of UFO-abductees, and military implants. I researched this topic for about a year. During this time, I contacted researchers from all over the world. I am now presenting my preliminary findings of this very hot topic. I was supported by many researchers and victims (see bibliography at end). I think you may be interested in the article. Best regards, Helmut Lammer Ph.D. (Space Scientist and Austrian MUFON representative) P.S. I'll try to publish the article in the British UFO-Magazine, NEXUS. - --- UFO Abductions, and the Military: Preliminary findings of Project-MILAB: Evidence for military kidnappings of alleged UFO-abductees By Dr. Helmut Lammer, Ph.D - --- Contents Letter Introduction Helicopter activity in connection with MILABs Alleged kidnappings by military/intelligence personnel Terrestrial implants Virtual Reality Scenarios and microwave hearing Otherworldly Journeys and military underground facilities Discussion Bibliography Acknowledgements - --- I. Introduction UFO-abductions are generally a very strange and complex phenomenon. For skeptics, journalists and the public it is hard to believe that abductions by alien beings have their basis in physical reality. Reports of alien beings entering bedrooms through walls, levitating abductees through closed windows into a waiting craft are hard to believe for the open minded researcher too. However, well respected researchers have shown that the core of the UFO-abduction phenomena cannot be explained psychologically, as hallucinations or mass delusions [1]. The passing decades of abduction research brought other changes. Recently some UFO-abductees told that they were also being kidnapped by military/intelligence personnel (MILAB) and taken to hospitals and/or military ground/underground facilities. Not many of the popular books on the subject of UFO-abductions mentioned these experiences. Especially disconcerting are the facts that abductees recalled seeing military/intelligence personnel together with alien beings working side by side in these secret facilities. The presence of human military and/or civilian personnel inhabiting the same physical reality as the alien beings exceeds the mindsets of the skeptics and the open minded researchers by several orders of magnitude. The skeptics would rather believe that stories of aliens and military personnel in governmental underground facilities are fabrications designed to elicit attention from conspiracy believers or as hallucinations in general. Researchers on the field of mind control suggest that these cases are an evidence that the whole UFO-abduction phenomenon is staged by the intelligence community as a cover of their illegal experiments [2]. The open minded researchers who fight for a reputation in abduction research ignore these stories, since they represent only a minor fraction in their files [3]. I think that abduction cases where the abductee reports that he/she was abducted by the military too, are very important for two reasons: 1. If the UFO-community has an evidence that a covered military/intelligence task force is involved in the UFO-abduction phenomenon, we would know that this phenomenon represents a matter of national security. 2. The alleged military involvement in the abduction phenomenon could be an evidence that they use abductees for mind control experiments, as test-targets for microwave weapons, or they monitor abductees and kidnap them too, for information gathering purposes during an UFO-abduction experience. If one of these points are correct, one can expect to run into early resistance when proposing congressional hearings about UFOs. For these reasons I started Project-MILAB and present in this article preliminary findings of this study. MILAB is the acronym for Military Abductions of alleged UFO abductees. I reviewed the relevant literature, contacted UFO and mind control researchers, MILAB-abductees and mind control victims all over the world and compared my findings with the comprehensive UFO-Abduction Study of Dr. Thomas Bullard [4, 5], the MUFON-Transcription-Project [6, 7] and the
[CTRL] NYT: Document Erases Doubts About a McVeigh Witness
-Caveat Lector- NYTimes May 27, 2001 Document Erases Doubts About a McVeigh Witness By JO THOMAS DENVER, May 26 - One of the newly discovered F.B.I. documents handed over to lawyers in the Oklahoma City bombing case was a report about a witness on the day of the bombing whose testimony at trial was later discredited. The witness's credibility came under attack, in part, because lawyers on both sides did not know about the document, a person familiar with the case said. The missing document, known as a lead sheet, was one of about 4,000 pages of information turned over to lawyers for Timothy J. McVeigh and Terry L. Nichols in recent weeks after the Federal Bureau of Investigation sought to close down its case in preparation for the execution of Mr. McVeigh. Mr. McVeigh's execution was delayed this month after embarrassed Justice Department officials acknowledged the existence of all the documents and said they should have been provided to the lawyers before the two men were tried. The lead sheet pertained to Morris John Kuper Jr., a witness who called the F.B.I. on April 21, 1995, two days after the bombing, to suggest that the bureau investigate activities in a parking lot a block away from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building an hour before the bombing. Mr. Kuper, who was called as a witness by the defense at the trial of Mr. Nichols, testified that he saw a man resembling Mr. McVeigh walking with another man along the sidewalk near the Federal Building in Oklahoma City at 8:02 a.m. the morning of the bombing. He said he saw the two men getting into an old, light-colored car similar to the Mercury in which Mr. McVeigh was arrested later that morning. In court, Mr. Kuper described the other man as being muscular and dark-haired, a description that was similar to that of a number of witnesses who have described the unidentified suspect who came to be known as John Doe No. 2. Mr. Kuper also testified that he called the F.B.I. on April 21 to suggest that they check cameras at the Public Library and Southwestern Bell that might have caught something in that area, but they took my name and phone number and never contacted me again. But in the fall of 1995 Mr. Kuper responded to an e-mail request for information about any activity in the parking lots from his employer, the Kerr-McGee Corporation. In his cross-examination, Patrick Ryan, then the United States attorney in Oklahoma City and one of the prosecutors, emphasized that the date of the first F.B.I. interview report with Mr. Kuper was Oct. 24, and repeatedly challenged his credibility, saying that he had made no attempt to reach the bureau until then. In an interview on Friday, Mr. Ryan said that he had had no idea the document existed and that he would have treated the issue much differently if he had. I certainly would never intentionally tell the jury someone had not come forward for six months if I knew they had come forward a couple of days after the bombing, Mr. Ryan, now a lawyer in private practice, said. On Friday, Chris Watney, a spokeswoman for the Department of Justice, said she could not comment on the details of any of the documents. We have reviewed all of the documents carefully and remain confident that nothing in them undermines Mr. McVeigh's admission or the justice of his sentence, she said. On Thursday, Attorney General John Ashcroft said that nothing in any of the documents links anyone else to this bombing and that he saw no reason to delay any further beyond June 11, the date on which the execution is now scheduled. Lawyers for Mr. McVeigh say that they are still examining the documents and that Mr. McVeigh has not yet decided whether to seek a new trial or a stay of execution. Mr. Kuper was among a number of witnesses who were called by lawyers at Mr. Nichols's trial, in an effort to show that someone other than Mr. Nichols helped Mr. McVeigh. It was my feeling they were fairly unreliable, Mr. Ryan said. The problem with any of these witnesses, even if some were right, you didn't know which were the right ones and which were the wrong ones. Beth Wilkinson, another prosecutor, likened such accounts to Elvis sightings, and Mr. McVeigh has subsequently been quoted as saying that John Doe No. 2 does not exist. During his testimony, Mr. Kuper, a data communications specialist for Kerr-McGee, an energy and chemical company, said he was confident of the time of his sighting because he was late to work that day and was checking his own watch, which he set against the atomic clock at the Naval Observatory in Washington, a service provided by a local radio station. He noticed the car, he said, because he restored cars as a hobby, and added that it was not the type of car you would normally see in that parking lot. The driver, he said, was white, with short light-colored hair, and was wearing a white or light T-shirt and dark pants. The other man was shorter and stockier, with a dark

McVeigh was assigned to the night shift, guarding the grounds of Calspan Research, a defense contractor that conducts classified research in advanced aerospace rocketry and electronic warfare. ...While visiting friends in Decker, Michigan, McVeigh complained that the Army had implanted him with a microchip, a miniature subcutaneous transponder, so that they could keep track of him. ... It is interesting to note that McVeigh claimed that the Army implanted him with a microchip. According to Dr. Carl Sanders, the developer of the Intelligence Manned Interface (IMI) biochip, We used this with military personnel in the Iraq War where they were actually tracked using this particular type of device. It is also interesting to note that the Calspan Advanced Technology Center in Buffalo, NY (Calspan ATC), where McVeigh worked, is engaged in microscopic electronic engineering of the kind applicable to telemetrics. Calspan was founded in 1946 as Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, which included the Fund for the Study of Human Ecology, a CIA financing conduit for mind control experiments by emigre Nazi scientists and others under the direction of CIA doctors Sidney Gottlieb, Ewen Cameron, and Louis Jolyn West. According to mind control researcher Alex Constantine, Calspan places much research emphasis on bioengineering and artificial intelligence (Calspan pioneered in the field in the 1950s). In his article, The Good Soldier, Constantine states: Human tracking and monitoring technology are well within Calspan's sphere of pursuits. The company is instrumental in REDCAP, an Air Force electronic warfare system that winds through every Department of Defense facility in the country.

[CTRL] NYP: FEDS: WE CAN BURN 'TORCH'
-Caveat Lector- NYPOST EXCLUSIVE FEDS: WE CAN BURN 'TORCH' By BRIAN BLOMQUIST May 27, 2001 EXCLUSIVE WASHINGTON - Federal investigators believe they have enough evidence to indict Sen. Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.) for allegedly taking illegal gifts and lying about it - and could charge him soon, sources told The Post. Torricelli, known on Capitol Hill as the Torch, is the most corrupt politician in America. We're going to indict him soon, one Justice Department investigator told an associate, according to a source. The feds could charge Torricelli by summer's end to try to beat the five-year statute of limitations on allegations that Torricelli took an $8,100 Rolex watch from New Jersey businessman David Chang in November 1996 and money for a Mercedes in August 1996. The probe could take longer if Torricelli agrees to waive the statute of limitations, but that seems unlikely since the feds and the senator are at war and negotiations between the two sides are nonexistent - despite Torricelli's recent order that his lawyers open a dialogue with Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White. Two lawyers recently hired by Torricelli are known for their scorched-earth defense tactics - Ted Wells defended Bill Clinton's Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy on illegal-gifts charges by winning at trial, and Mark Pomerantz ran White's own criminal division. Sources say Torricelli still hasn't been told he's a criminal target. Such a letter usually - but not always - precedes an indictment. Torricelli is under investigation for a variety of possible crimes, the most serious being that he allegedly took thousands in unreported gifts from Chang in exchange for helping his former friend and fund-raiser pocket millions of dollars in two business deals in Korea. That Torricelli tried to help Chang is undisputed. He wrote to the North Korean United Nations ambassador on behalf of Chang in one case and traveled with Chang to South Korea to put pressure on officials in a second case, prompting U.S. diplomats to apologize to the South Koreans for the senator's behavior. Earlier this spring, the feds searched Torricelli's home in Englewood looking for the alleged gifts from Chang. The search appears to have been done with Torricelli's consent - given that his lawyer, Wells, was present - and it's unclear what turned up. White's office refused to comment on the case. Chang, who pleaded guilty to giving the senator $53,700 in illegal contributions in the 1996 campaign, has told the feds he was basically Torricelli's personal money man for the past five years. Chang claims he handed Torricelli envelopes stuffed with thousands in cash, bought him 10 Italian suits, a big-screen TV, cufflinks from Tiffany's, and $600 earrings for then-girlfriend Judy Balaban, a former fashion model. Chang also put down several thousand dollars on a Mercedes, but Torricelli said he put a stop to Chang's attempt to buy the car for him when he found out about it from the dealer, and Torricelli paid for the car himself. Each bribery conviction carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison and disqualification from serving in public office. Torricelli has repeatedly claimed he didn't break any laws. But his defense that he took no illegal gifts from Chang could be seen as a toehold onto a strategy that Chang was his personal friend and therefore not covered by the strict rules that apply to senators accepting gifts. But even if he claimed Chang was a personal friend, the rules state that Torricelli would have been required to get permission from the Senate Ethics Committee to take a gift worth more than $250 - and still would have had to report it. Torricelli didn't record gifts from Chang on the personal financial-disclosure statements he signed and filed with the Senate. Lying on the forms carries a penalty of five years in jail under the federal false statements law. Further complicating that defense, Torricelli and his lawyers have blasted Chang as a pathological liar with zero credibility. But the probe, involving dozens of investigators and prosecutors out of New Jersey and the Justice Department's public-integrity section, has only intensified and expanded. The feds recently seized records from the Bergen County Democratic Party to determine whether it essentially was used by Torricelli as a slush fund in the 1996 campaign - taking money from contributors who were maxed out and couldn't give any more directly to Torricelli, and in turn paying Torricelli's campaign expenses. Besides Chang, others have said they funneled money to Torricelli through conduits. Just last week, New Jersey trucking company owner Joseph Supor told The Star-Ledger of Newark that he reimbursed seven employees who wrote $1,000 checks to Torricelli - after Torricelli pressured him to come up with more money for his campaign. Torricelli is famous for his quick-witted intellect, big ego, hot-head temper, and his assorted high-profile girlfriends, including

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] The Nessie Files - Mae Brussell Mikey Aquino
on 5/26/01 6:01 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Nessie [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have since concluded that what really destroyed the Mae Brussell Center was not that Dave and John were jealous of each other, but that Dave is a flaming jerk. The following article, written about 10 years ago, concerns Dave Emory's on-air assaults on his fellow researchers. Every word of it is supported by tapes of Dave's radio programs and letters of response censored from the air. It is Emory at his lowest, not his best, and I deeply regret that circumstances have forced me to report this series of events. Alex C. _ Dave Emory's Politics of Acrimony By Alex Constantine Every Thursday morning at midnight, the Superman theme song rises and ebbs behind the euphonic voice of Something¼s Happening host Roy Tuckman. The program airs over Pacifica¼s KPFK-FM in Los Angeles, an alternative, Tuckman boasts, to the claustrophobic conservatism of corporate-sponsored talk radio. Something's Happening attempts to expose secret corruptions of government, and Tuckman is a passionate political voice. But his attempt to provide an alternative is marred by his choice of programming: Dave Emory, originating from KFJC-FM at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, has bullied and slandered his way to late-night radio talk show prominence, splintering the reputations of his fellow political researchers and reporters to advance his own. More serious are the allegations of C. (name withheld upon request, co-host of a political affairs radio program in the Santa Clara area), that Emory, in a late-night telephone call, filled her ears with graphic descriptions of sexual violence. She had been for several years his friend and an outspoken supporter. They were both students and allies of late political researcher Mae Brussell. C. was severely rattled by Emory¼s threats of sexual mutilation. Emory, in response to a direct confrontation with her, did not deny that he phoned her, but did claim he had no recollection of the episode. If so, perhaps he also has no recollection that he later phoned one of C.'s radio station co-workers to ask if she had repeated anything Emory told her. The co-worker slammed down the phone. I informed Tuckman of the incident in a letter on June 6, 1991, and suggested that he call C. for confirmation. Tuckman ignored the letter. Martin Cannon, author of The Controllers, a study of the classified federal mind control initiative and its masquerade as alien abduction phenomena, also informed Tuckman of the harassing phone call. He told Tuckman that Emory had said monstrous and violent things to her. Cannon¼s letter was also snubbed. Barbara Honneger, a political investigator living in Monterey, stated in a letter to Emory: No radio station should keep you on the air if this continues, and no radio station should keep its license which keeps you on the air if this continues. I share Honegger's revulsion. Dave Emory's mentor, Mae Brussell, was a courageous investigator of political assassinations, a tenacious critic of government. She inspired a modest but devoted audience to probe the American extreme-right and its pernicious influences. Among the researchers who worked with Brussell and posthumously expanded upon her foundation of political research were Honegger, John Judge, Emory¼s former co-host Nip Tuck, and Will Robinson Marilyn Colman, hosts of KAZU's Lighthouse Report. All were staples of Tuckman's program. Emory's past is seldom discussed. His father, writes Paul Bernardino, host of a cable television program in San Francisco, committed him to an institution and narcotics program 20 years ago. Emory has told several people, including Tom Davis (a northern California book retailer) that he was sexually abused in a prison in Boston. He has attempted suicide several times via cars and narcotics. His emotional problems drove him to overdose on narcotics in a 1988 suicide attempt. This was the year that Mae Brussell fell prey to cancer. Emory, her self-appointed successor, began a series of vincictive slander campaigns to purge other researchers from the air. His first straw man was Nip Tuck (an alias, today a very popular science fiction writer), Emory's co-host on Radio Free America for several years. Tuck was publicly denounced as an agent of an unnamed arm of government. This smear was based on the slimmest of ties: Tuck once taught English at a military base. This alone rendered him suspect in Emory¼s mind yet he later acknowledged to a Christic Institute activist that he¼d known of Tuck¼s background all along. That Tuck was a lackey of the intelligence sector was repeated on KPFK, unsubstantiated but delivered as bald fact. The victim of this smear vigorously denied the allegation in a letter to KPFK. The station ignored it. Tuck found himself groundlessly discredited, humiliated, his written
[CTRL] Fwd: John Doe 2 FBI
NYT May 27, 2001 Document Erases Doubts About a McVeigh Witness By JO THOMAS DENVER, May 26 One of the newly discovered F.B.I. documents handed over to lawyers in the Oklahoma City bombing case was a report about a witness on the day of the bombing whose testimony at trial was later discredited. The witness's credibility came under attack, in part, because lawyers on both sides did not know about the document, a person familiar with the case said. The missing document, known as a lead sheet, was one of about 4,000 pages of information turned over to lawyers for Timothy J. McVeigh and Terry L. Nichols in recent weeks after the Federal Bureau of Investigation sought to close down its case in preparation for the execution of Mr. McVeigh. Mr. McVeigh's execution was delayed this month after embarrassed Justice Department officials acknowledged the existence of all the documents and said they should have been provided to the lawyers before the two men were tried. The lead sheet pertained to Morris John Kuper Jr., a witness who called the F.B.I. on April 21, 1995, two days after the bombing, to suggest that the bureau investigate activities in a parking lot a block away from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building an hour before the bombing. Mr. Kuper, who was called as a witness by the defense at the trial of Mr. Nichols, testified that he saw a man resembling Mr. McVeigh walking with another man along the sidewalk near the Federal Building in Oklahoma City at 8:02 a.m. the morning of the bombing. He said he saw the two men getting into an old, light-colored car similar to the Mercury in which Mr. McVeigh was arrested later that morning. In court, Mr. Kuper described the other man as being muscular and dark-haired, a description that was similar to that of a number of witnesses who have described the unidentified suspect who came to be known as John Doe No. 2. Mr. Kuper also testified that he called the F.B.I. on April 21 to suggest that they check cameras at the Public Library and Southwestern Bell that might have caught something in that area, but they took my name and phone number and never contacted me again. But in the fall of 1995 Mr. Kuper responded to an e-mail request for information about any activity in the parking lots from his employer, the Kerr-McGee Corporation. In his cross-examination, Patrick Ryan, then the United States attorney in Oklahoma City and one of the prosecutors, emphasized that the date of the first F.B.I. interview report with Mr. Kuper was Oct. 24, and repeatedly challenged his credibility, saying that he had made no attempt to reach the bureau until then. In an interview on Friday, Mr. Ryan said that he had had no idea the document existed and that he would have treated the issue much differently if he had. I certainly would never intentionally tell the jury someone had not come forward for six months if I knew they had come forward a couple of days after the bombing, Mr. Ryan, now a lawyer in private practice, said. On Friday, Chris Watney, a spokeswoman for the Department of Justice, said she could not comment on the details of any of the documents. We have reviewed all of the documents carefully and remain confident that nothing in them undermines Mr. McVeigh's admission or the justice of his sentence, she said. On Thursday, Attorney General John Ashcroft said that nothing in any of the documents links anyone else to this bombing and that he saw no reason to delay any further beyond June 11, the date on which the execution is now scheduled. Lawyers for Mr. McVeigh say that they are still examining the documents and that Mr. McVeigh has not yet decided whether to seek a new trial or a stay of execution. Mr. Kuper was among a number of witnesses who were called by lawyers at Mr. Nichols's trial, in an effort to show that someone other than Mr. Nichols helped Mr. McVeigh. It was my feeling they were fairly unreliable, Mr. Ryan said. The problem with any of these witnesses, even if some were right, you didn't know which were the right ones and which were the wrong ones. Beth Wilkinson, another prosecutor, likened such accounts to Elvis sightings, and Mr. McVeigh has subsequently been quoted as saying that John Doe No. 2 does not exist. During his testimony, Mr. Kuper, a data communications specialist for Kerr-McGee, an energy and chemical company, said he was confident of the time of his sighting because he was late to work that day and was checking his own watch, which he set against the atomic clock at the Naval Observatory in Washington, a service provided by a local radio station. He noticed the car, he said, because he restored cars as a hobby, and added that it was not the type of car you would normally see in that parking lot. The driver, he said, was white, with short light-colored hair, and was wearing a white or light T-shirt and dark pants. The other man was shorter and stockier, with a dark complexion and dark hair. He was also more muscular than the other
[CTRL] Fwd: Charles Taylor, Despot/Firestone/Liberian Terror
How a tyrant's 'logs of war' bring terror to West Africa He's a feared despot who has made Liberia a private fiefdom. Now he's defying the UN to spread terror in the region. Peter Beaumont, Foreign Affairs Editor, in Monrovia investigates the sinister world of Charles Taylor Sunday May 27, 2001 The Observer When the Big Man comes, you get out of the way. We saw the police Land Rover racing towards the Salala checkpoint, an hour north of Liberia's capital, Monrovia. Soldiers with automatic rifles hung out of the windows waving us angrily aside. My driver, conscious of the danger, steered the car into the ditch, as is required by law, making sure all of the wheels were off the road. His Excellency Charles Taylor, the President of Liberia, you must understand, shares the tarmac of his road with no man. Next came the muscle: four-wheel drives with blacked-out windows and pick-ups with machine-guns on the back, packed with troops. Then it was the car of Taylor himself - a massive black Mercedes jeep flying two flags. Moments later a second presidential Mercedes, identical in every detail, sped by. In the paranoid world of Charles Taylor there is always a dummy car. There is always, too, the presence of the troops of his Anti-Terrorist Unit - the ATU - Taylor's feared Praetorian Guard, which has been implicated in political killings. Returning from Taylor's home base of Gbarnga, provincial capital of Liberia's Bong county, earlier in the day, we saw them everywhere along the road: soldiers stationed every 500-1,000 metres, covering every village and every path leading out of the vast area that is the Firestone rubber plantation. In the paranoid world of Charles Taylor, every one of his subjects is a potential threat. Taylor has become an African dictator of the old school. The 52-year-old warlord - who plunged Liberia into a civil war that rivalled Rwanda for the insanity of its violence, and whose forces posted severed heads on stakes to mark the limit of their territory - promised on his inauguration after elections in 1997 that he would not become another 'wicked President'. He lied. He has become one of the most wicked on a continent that has seen more than its fair share. He has appropriated his country's natural resources as his personal property. A Strategic Commodities Act - passed secretly last year - gives the President 'the sole power to execute, negotiate and conclude all commercial contracts or agreements with any foreign or domestic investor' for designated commodities, including timber, gold, oil and diamonds. Like the Zaire of Mobutu Sese Seko, Liberia has become a 'vampire state', dedicated to satisfying the greed of a single man. Unlike Mobutu, Taylor has become Britain's African pariah-in-chief, rivalling even Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, amid charges that he threatens to destabilise all of West Africa, from Ivory Coast to The Gambia. And Taylor is costing Britain money. The Ministry of Defence is spending millions of pounds deploying hundreds of British soldiers in neighbouring Sierra Leone to train and arm the Leonean army to counter the threat of Taylor's diamond-looting rebel clients in the Revolutionary United Front. And British aid money is also going to repair the damage done by Taylor and his friends: in Sierra Leone, and now in Guinea, where British Ministers blame him for Africa's biggest refugee crisis in recent years, when Taylor and the RUF switched their attention last year from undermining Sierra Leone to destabilising Guinea. They also accuse him of presiding over a regime that has become a one-stop supermarket for rebel movements across the continent wanting to buy and ship arms. It is a sub-text of any conversation with British officials: West Africa would be a nicer place if Taylor wasn't there. To this end, Britain was a prime mover calling for UN sanctions to be imposed on Taylor's regime. They came into force on 7 May. The animosity between Britain and Taylor is not one-sided. Taylor accuses Britain of being behind a conspiracy to depose him. His Ministers claim Britain and America are supporting a rebel uprising in the north. The Liberians say they have captured British-trained tribal militias and British-supplied arms, although neither has been produced despite requests by The Observer and other news organisations. The British media, says Taylor, are part of this conspiracy. Charles Taylor's capital, Monrovia, is one of the most unpleasant on the planet. There is something of the Duvalier-era Port-au-Prince about. It reeks of paranoia, random violence and superstition. Except, says a veteran of Baby Doc's Haiti whom I encounter in the bar of the Mamba Point Hotel, it is a poorer and more dangerous place. Its gutted buildings - bullet-scarred from the years of civil war - appear to crumble almost before your eyes, tottering into the muddy waters of the swamp around which Monrovia is built. Human rights abuses go with the territory. Press censorship in Liberia is

MEDICAL HAMILTON CI: OVERCROWDED AND DISEASED Governor Bush: Just two days ago I received urgent communication from Union CI here in Florida. "We have an outbreak throughout the prison of Hepatitis C. There are sick inmates working in the kitchen and we believe the disease is being spread via the food." Today I received a letter from Hamilton CI concerning the same issues of overcrowding, sick inmates in the kitchen,and Hepatitis C epidemics. I'mpositive I'm not the only citizen who wants to know what is going on, and what plans the Governor and the Secretary of Corrections and the Health Department have to reduce the risk to society. These are major healthcare costs, whether the problem is tackled in prison or on the streets, and I'll bet you can guess which one I recommend. Sir, you and I both know mass incarceration assures these risks will happen,and your solutions willaffect every citizen, even if they don't fully recognise it yet. How about a statement that hasn't been whitewashed? Visualizing Leaders With Conscience,Kay Lee2613 Larry CourtEau Gallie, Florida 32935321-253-3673 May 22, 2001 Dear Kay, Things are becoming more of a mess here at Hamilton CI. Since the end of 2000, for some unknown reason, the main unit of this camp has been becoming severely overcrowded with inmates. For example, on 12-29-2000, the Main Unit population was 893 inmates. On 5-18-2001, the main unit population was 1,134, an increase of 241 people in five months. The total population for the Main Unit, Annex, and Work Camp between the same two time periods rose from 2,468 to 2,754 - or 286 more inmates and all but 45 were put here in the Main Unit. The difference being, the Main Unit is the compound experiencing the increase and to make matters worse, the individual departments at the Main Unit have not allowed for this increase in population, e.g. kitchen, medical, canteens, library, law library, etc. Plus, we could maybe stuff another 150 or 200 men in, but they are bringing more inmates to the Main Unit every week until it's totally full. A very dangerous situation will more than likely occur before the summer's over and we will more than likely end up locked down during the hot weather. Too many things are happening that point to this. On a daily basis there are now fights, assaults, and drug busts occurring. So, as more inmates are jammed into this relatively small area (Main Unit), inmates are pushed closer together. Kay, you need to actually see it yourself to believe it. I am not exaggerating. These officials running Hamilton CI have got to know there's a serious situation soon to occur. It's obvious to everyone here, but they keep bringing inmates in like everything's alright. Kay, there's another major situation that I have been made aware of since the first of the year. I'm speaking for both Jason Wilson and myself concerning this issue and the issue is about the current epidemic of hepititis C that is now out of control inside the Florida Department of Corrections. Both Jason and myself were recently informed by medical doctor Emanuel that we both tested positive for hepatitis C (HCV) around January. But the unusual thing about our being told this is that neither one of us had HCV before we entered FDOC, and neither one of us have engaged in any kind of activity that would have caused us to become infected. That severely narrows the causes of us becoming infected, so we both have deduced that we, and many others, have contracted HCV through unsanitary conditions in food service. Blood and other bodily fluids are ways of contracting HCV. I don't know if you know this, but medical health experts are estimating that up to 60% of the nation's two million prisoners are currently infected with HCV. Of course, the DOC, in their typical stance, does not want to address this epidemic due to the astronomical cost to screen and treat all infected inmates. But the estimates mean there could be as many as 30 to 40 thousand FDOC inmates currently infected, and there's only 72,000 prisoners in Florida state prisons. Jason and I are contemplating a soon to be filed 42 U.S.C. suit 1983 in the U.S. District Court, Tallahassee, if nothing more than to bring the epidemic to the public's awareness. We know it's all about money for the DOC. They prefer to remain silent, as they are well accustomed to doing. We wonder if you'd be willing to display this information on the website. I know you are very busy maintaining what you have already go going, so we don't want to overburden you with another issue. However, this is a major issue that would affect thousands of inmates currently incarcerated. A lawsuit would benefit all of them in the event it goes class action, as we will request the court's permission to do. Kay,

[CTRL] Taliban Selling Drugs To Finance War
http://ananova.com/news/story/sm_305720.html UN accuses Taliban of selling drugs to finance war A UN panel has accused Afghanistan's Taliban rulers of selling stockpiled opium and heroin to finance its war and train terrorists. In a report to the Security Council, the panel questioned the sincerity of the Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, in banning poppy cultivation last July. They say that the large stockpile suggests that the Taliban only want to halt production to keep opium and heroin prices from plummeting. Their report said: "If Taliban officials were sincere in stopping the production of opium and heroin, then one would expect them to order the destruction of all stocks existing in areas under their control." The UN Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention reported that Afghanistan's opium production was about 2,500 tons in 1998; 4,600 tons in 1999 and 3,100 tons in 2000 which amounted to a sizable stock of opium and heroin. The Security Council froze Taliban assets and imposed an international flight ban on Ariana airlines in November 1999. The move was put pressure on the hardline militia to turn over suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden for trial over the US embassy bombings in Africa in August 1998.
[CTRL] Enron Vetted Bush Energy Regulators
http://www.guardian.co.uk/bush/story/0,7369,496839,00.html Power firm vetted Bush energy regulators Julian Borger in Washington Saturday May 26, 2001 The Guardian Applicants for jobs on the commission regulating the US energy market have been vetted by the Enron Corporation, the country's biggest electricity power company and a significant contributor to George Bush's election campaign, according to a report published yesterday. Soon after being appointed chairman of the federal energy regulatory commission, Curtis Hébert told the New York Times, he received a telephone call from the Enron president, Kenneth Lay, offering the company's backing to help him keep his job if he adapted his views on deregulation. Mr Hébert said he was offended by the approach and turned down the offer. His appointment as chairman, which was provisional pending the nomination of other members of the commission, has since been called into question by Vice-President Dick Cheney. Mr Hébert's chief of staff, Walter Ferguson, confirmed the newspaper account yesterday. "[Mr Hébert] has always been forthright and he's been a straight-shooter with folks in the industry," he said. Mr Lay, a close friend of the Bush family, confirmed that the telephone call took place, but said it was Mr Hébert who asked for Enron's backing to keep his job. Either way, environmentalists and other critics of President Bush argue, the fact that the conversation took place at all demonstrates the leading role corporations like Enron have in making energy policy in Washington under the new administration. According to a joint investigation by the New York Times and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Mr Lay and other Enron executives interviewed other candidate members of the regulatory commission and supplied the president's personnel adviser, Clay Johnson, with a list of the company's preferred candidates. The two commissioners Mr Bush chose to fill the vacant Republican seats both had the backing of Enron and other power companies. "It just confirms what we believed and what we've been saying, that the Bush-Cheney energy plan is written by corporations and it's in the interests of the corporations," said Kevin Curtis, vice-president for government affairs of the National Environmental Trust, a Washington pressure group. Enron, a $100 billion behemoth in the energy trading market, was a significant backer of Mr Bush in last year's election. It contributed $1.7m to Republican candidates, 72% of its total campaign spending. It is a strong supporter of deregulation in the electric power market, in particular the opening up of state markets to outside suppliers. At the time of the phone call from Mr Lay, Mr Hébert had launched an investigation of the pricing policies of big electricity traders, such as Enron. "One of our problems is that we do not have the expertise to truly unravel the complex arbitrage activities of a company like Enron," he told the New York Times, adding: "We're trying to do it now and we may have some results soon." Mr Ferguson confirmed yesterday that the investigation would continue. The large-scale deregulation of regional electricity markets since 1996 has failed to reduce prices in many states, and since the chaos and power shortages produced by the botched deregulation in California, the pace of market reform has slowed down, much to the frustration of Enron. In their telephone conversation, a few weeks after Mr Hébert's appointment, he said Mr Lay told him that "he and Enron would like to support me as chairman, but we would have to agree on principles". Those principles would involve the pace and nature of deregulation. Mr Lay said that there was "never any intent" to link Mr Hébert's employment with the commission's policies. When Mr Hébert, a former Mississippi state regulator, was given the chairman's job in January, the White House told him he would keep it at least until Mr Bush's other nominees, Pat Wood and Nora Brownell, were confirmed by the Senate. Their appointment was confirmed this week, and Vice-President Cheney told PBS that Mr Wood, head of the Texas public utility commission, should now get Mr Hébert's job. Mr Ferguson said yesterday that the president was the only one who could decide whether Mr Hébert should keep his job. Other candidates for seats on the commission also say that Enron played a role in the selection process. Joe Garcia, a Florida regulator and now a leader of the Cuban-American National Foundation, an exile pressure group, said he was interviewed by Mr Lay and other Enron officials.
[CTRL] Echelon Revealed
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,496820,00.html Worldwide spying network is revealed MEPs confirm eavesdropping by Echelon electronic network Stuart Millar, Richard Norton-Taylor and Ian Black Saturday May 26, 2001 The Guardian For years it has been the subject of bitter controversy, its existence repeatedly claimed but never officially acknowledged. At last, the leaked draft of a report to be published next week by the European parliament removes any lingering doubt: Echelon, a shadowy, US-led worldwide electronic spying network, is a reality. Echelon is part of an Anglo-Saxon club set up by secret treaty in 1947, whereby the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, divided the world between them to share the product of global eavesdropping. Agencies from the five countries exchange intercepts using supercomputers to identify key words. The intercepts are picked up by ground stations, including the US base at Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire, and GCHQ's listening post at Morwenstow in Cornwall. In the cold war, eavesdropping - signals intelligence, or Sigint as it is known in the trade - was aimed at military and diplomatic communications. Helped by increasingly sophisticated computers, it has now switched to industrial, commercial targets - and private individuals. Echelon computers can store millions of records on individuals, intercepting faxes, phone calls, and emails. The MEP's report - which faced opposition from the British and American governments and their respective security services - was prompted by claims that the US was using Echelon to spy on European companies on behalf of American firms. France, deeply suspicious of Britain's uniquely close intelligence links with the US, seized on reports that Echelon cost Airbus Industrie an £8bn contract with Saudi Arabia in 1994, after the US intercepted communications between Riyadh and the Toulouse headquarters of Airbus - in which British firms hold a 20% stake. The MEPs admitted they had been unable to find conclusive proof of industrial espionage. The claim has been dismissed by all the Echelon governments and in a new book by an intelligence expert, James Bamford. More disturbing, as Mr Bamford and the MEPs pointed out, was the threat Echelon posed to privacy. "The real issue is whether Echelon is doing away with individual privacy - a basic human right," he said. The MEPs looked at statements from former members of the intelligence services, who provided compelling evidence of Echelon's existence, and the potential scope of its activities. One former member of the Canadian intelligence service, the CSE, claimed that every day millions of emails, faxes and phone conversations were intercepted. The name and phone number of one woman, he said, was added to the CSE's list of potential terrorists after she used an ambiguous word in an innocent call to a friend. "Disembodied snippets of conversations are snatched from the ether, perhaps out of context, and may be misinterpreted by an analyst who then secretly transmits them to spy agencies and law enforcement offices around the world," Mr Bamford said. The "misleading information", he said, "is then placed in NSA's near-bottomless computer storage system, a system capable of storing 5 trillion pages of text, a stack of paper 150 miles high". Unlike information on US citizens, which officially cannot be kept longer than a year, information on foreigners can he held "eternally", he said. The MEP's draft report concludes the system cannot be as extensive as reports have assumed. It is limited by being based on worldwide interception of satellite communications, which account for a small part of communications. Eavesdropping on other messages requires either tapping cables or intercepting radio signals, but the states involved in Echelon, the draft report found, had access to a limited proportion of radio and cable communications. But independent privacy groups claimed Britain, the US and their Echelon partners, were developing eavesdropping systems to cope with the explosion in communications on email and internet. In Britain, the government last year brought in the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, which allowed authorities to monitor email and internet traffic through "black boxes" placed inside service providers' systems. It gave police authority to order companies or individuals using encryption to protect their communications, to hand over the encryption keys. Failure to do so was punishable by a sentence of up to two years. The act has been condemned by civil liberties campaigners, but there are signs the authorities are keen to secure more far reaching powers to monitor internet traffic. Last week, the London-based group, Statewatch, published leaked documents saying the EU's 15 member states were lobbying the European commission to require that service providers kept all

In this issue, Ray Takeyh assesses the reforming Qaddafi regime in Libya, while Adrian Karatnycky reports on the scandalous Kuchma regime in Ukraine. WILL THE ATLANTIC ALLIANCE SURVIVE? Europe, the Necessary Partner The United States accuses the European Union of not doing enough to advance shared goals, while Europe sees America as an arrogant and flawed hegemon. According to William Wallace of the London School of Economics, the Atlantic alliance is now splitting over different perceptions of burden sharing, foreign-policy goals, and social values. Yet despite these tensions, the alliance remains as crucial as ever-to both parties. Washington must now recognize Brussels as a true partner, in military and political matters as well as in economics. America can no longer expect its allies to share the burdens of global leadership without allowing them their say in the issues at stake. The United States and Europe need each other. Neither can handle the problems of Russia on its own, or those of the unstable Mediterranean, Caucasus, and greater Middle East. ... Transnational organized crime, drug smuggling, and money laundering threaten public order on both sides of the Atlantic-problems best met through a coordinated response. ... The world's two largest integrated economies need to monitor shifts in the global economic balance and work together to smooth out the bumps. ... The transatlantic partnership ... needs redefinition to accommodate the EU's strengthening capabilities, the enlargement of NATO, and the distinctive foreign policy interests of North American and European states. The False Crisis Over the Atlantic Crisis-mongers who bemoan the transatlantic values gap are ignoring the facts, says Antony Blinken, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. True, European elites bash America for its use of the death penalty, its rampant gun violence, its genetically modified Frankenfoods, and its unchecked capitalism. And Washington's unilateralist obstinance on issues such as missile defense, land mines, and global warming seems to only make matters worse. But a closer look shows that Europe and the United States are in fact converging culturally, economically, and even strategically. And false cries of a transatlantic crisis only impede understanding and cooperation. In the transatlantic lexicon, beef is indeed a four-letter word. So are bananas, GMOs [genetically modified foods], and foreign sales corporations. These commercial disputes bolster the impression that the United States and the EU are economic gladiators locked in a death match. In fact, such contentious cases account for less than two percent of trade and investment flows across the Atlantic, which total $36 billion a day. ... Yes, Washington does need to manage the disputes that do exist, lest they corrode relations. One way to do that would be to stop making the WTO-which is good at deciding cases on technical merits but bad at dealing with those that have heavy political content-the court of first recourse for every transatlantic trade dispute. But the fact remains that transatlantic trade

Some of them, like Katharina Wilson, Leah Haley, Melinda Leslie, Dr. Karla Turner, etc. experienced traumatic flashbacks and recall kidnappings by unknown military personnel. Until now such cases were only reported in some books and journals of abductees, since most well known alien abduction researchers ignored these cases, although the know about them! MILABS will be the first book which documents in detail that there is amazing evidence that covert human military agencies are involved in the alien abduction mystery. The book reviews the former top secret US mind-control projects like ARTICHOKE, MKULTRA, etc., compares the experiences of mind-control victims and MILAB abductees -- alleged alien anductees who claim that they were also kidnapped, examined, interrogated, sometimes implanted with tiny foreign objects,...by human military personnel, men in white lab coats or men in bussiness suits. The book addresses the following topics: 1. Documented History of Secret Mind- and Behaviour-Control Experiments 2. A Possible Purpose of MILABS 3. Activity of Dark Unmarked Helicopters in Connection with Alien Abductions 4. Alleged Kidnappings of Alien Abductees by Covert Military/Intelligence Personnel 5. Genetic Aspect of MILABS 6.

Further findings of Project MILAB: Looking behind the alien/military abduction agenda by Helmut Lammer Ph.D. I. Introduction Since I published my preliminary findings of allegd alien abductees who experienced possible kidnapings by special military/intelligence units, I got new information, especially from North American abductees and abduction researchers. Most of this information is new and was not published before. The results of and the response to my study show that there are more alleged alien abductees who also experienced unintentional human/military contacts (MILABs) during their lives. I published an overview of this study, coauthored by my wife, in a comprehensive book which is currently not available in English. By summarizing our findings we found that [1,2]: 1.) MILABs are harassed by dark, unmarked helicopters around their houses. The mysterious helicopter activity goes back to the late sixties, early seventies, when they showed an interest in animal mutilations but not for alleged alien abductees. 2.) MILABs have ''not only'' alien abduction experiences, they report that they were kidnapped by a certain branch of human/military personnel, they were drugged, taken to hospital like rooms and (under)ground military facilities, they saw men in white lab coats, they were examined, interrogated and sometimes implanted with military devices. Readers who are interested in more details should read my first MILAB article or wait for a possible english edition of our book. These results, however, should lead the open minded researcher to three important questions. 1.) Is it possible that secret human experiments or covert operations could occur in western democraties? 2.) What is the human agenda which seems to be involved in the alien abduction phenomenon and what is the purpose of MILABs? 3.) Is there a military interest in developing brain implants, virtual reality bio-chips, holographic image projection, cloaking devices, mind altering weapons,...which would support the hypothesis that such secret experiments on humans are going on hidden inside black projects? The present article tries to answer these important questions. II. Documented history of secret mind and behavior control experiments Everyone who claims that secret experiments and covert operations against ones own people, including children are not occuring in western democraties like the USA, Canada or England should look at the documented history of military/intelligence radiation experiments as well as mind and behavior control projects which are now known to the public. During November 1996 the British press reported that the Ministry of Defense (MoD) carried out secret radiation experiments on humans for the past forty years. In 1994 the US government lifted the lid on secret experiments with scant regard for the subjects--many of whom were disadvantaged people.[3] For about 30 years after World War II the American government through the Departement of Defense (DoD), the CIA and various nongovernment research organisations conducted medical research on tousands of citizens, often without their knowledge. This research was largely concerned with radiation exposure, nerve gas, LSD and various biological agents. Recently it was disclosed that radiation experiments were performed on more than 23000 Americans in about 1400 different projects in the 30 years following the war.[4] The people on whom these experiments were run were soldiers, prisoners, those considered to be mentally defective (children and adults), hospital patients with terminal illnesses and pregnant poor women. Many of the scientists who conducted these Nazi-like experiments where respectable academics. Dr. Edwin Cameron was such a scientist on the surface but he led a CIA funded laboratory at McGill University during the 50ies where patients were used as guinea pigs in brainwashing experiments. Some inmates were given ECT ''therapy'' twice daily, others were drugged and kept unconcisious for weeks or months, injected with huge amounts of hallucinogens, and subjected to
[CTRL] Konformist: Pearl Harbor Sucks (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Chicago Sun-Times http://www.suntimes.com PEARL HARBOR / * 1/2 (PG-13) May 25, 2001 Rafe McCawley: Ben Affleck Danny Walker: Josh Hartnett Evelyn: Kate Beckinsale Doolittle: Alec Baldwin Dorie Miller: Cuba Gooding Jr. President Roosevelt: Jon Voigt Touchstone presents a film directed by Michael Bay. Written by Randall Wallace. Running time: 183 minutes. Rated PG-13 (for sustained intense war sequences, images of wounded, brief sensuality and some language). BY ROGER EBERT Pearl Harbor is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialogue, it will not be because you admire them. The filmmakers seem to have aimed the film at an audience that may not have heard of Pearl Harbor, or perhaps even of World War II. This is the Our Weekly Reader version. If you have the slightest knowledge of the events in the film, you will know more than it can tell you. There is no sense of history, strategy or context; according to this movie, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because the United States cut off its oil supply, and it was down to an 18-month reserve. Would going to war restore the fuel sources? Did it perhaps also have imperialist designs? The movie doesn't say. So shaky is the film's history that at the end, when Jimmy Doolittle's Tokyo raiders crash-land in China, they're shot at by Japanese patrols without any explanation about the Sino-Japanese war already under way. I predict some viewers will leave the theater sincerely confused about why there were Japanese in China. As for the movie's portrait of the Japanese themselves, it is so oblique that Japanese audiences will find little to complain about, apart from the fact that they play such a small role in their own raid. There are several scenes where the Japanese high command debates military tactics, but all of their dialogue is strictly expository; they state facts but do not emerge with personalities or passions. Only Adm. Yamamoto (Mako) is seen as an individual, and his dialogue seems to have been rewritten with the hindsight of history. Congratulated on a brilliant raid, he demurs, A brilliant man would find a way not to fight a war. And later, I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant. Do you imagine at any point the Japanese high command engaged in the 1941 Japanese equivalent of exchanging high fives and shouting yes! while pumping their fists in the air? Not in this movie, where the Japanese seem to have been melancholy even at the time about the regrettable need to play such a negative role in such a positive Hollywood film. The American side of the story centers on two childhood friends from Tennessee with the standard-issue screenplay names Rafe McCawley (Ben Affleck) and Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett). They enter the Army Air Corps and both fall in love with the same nurse, Evelyn Johnson (Kate Beckinsale)--first Rafe falls for her, and then, after he is reported dead, Danny. Their first date is subtitled Three Months Later and ends with Danny, having apparently read the subtitle, telling Evelyn, Don't let it be three months before I see you again, OK? That gets almost as big a laugh as her line to Rafe, I'm gonna give Danny my whole heart, but I don't think I'll ever look at another sunset without thinking of you. That kind of bad laugh would have been sidestepped in a more literate screenplay, but our hopes are not high after an early newsreel report that the Germans are bombing downtown London--a difficult target, since although there is such a place as central London, at no time in 2,000 years has London ever had anything described by anybody as a downtown. There is not a shred of conviction or chemistry in the love triangle, which results after Rafe returns alive to Hawaii shortly before the raid on Pearl Harbor and is angry at Evelyn for falling in love with Danny, inspiring her timeless line, I didn't even know until the day you turned up alive--and then all this happened. Evelyn is a heroine in the aftermath of the raid, performing triage by using her lipstick to separate the wounded who should be treated from those left to die. In a pointless stylistic choice, director Michael Bay and cinematographer John Schwartzman shoot some of the hospital scenes in soft focus, some in sharp focus, some blurred. Why? In the newsreel sequences, they fade in and out of black and white with almost amusing haste, while the newsreel announcer sounds not like a period voice but like a Top-40 DJ in an echo chamber. The most involving material in the film comes at the end, when Doolittle (Alec Baldwin) leads his famous raid on Tokyo, flying Army bombers off the decks of Navy carriers and hoping to
[CTRL] Zionist Occupation of America
-Caveat Lector- U.S. Responsibility and the Pro-Zionist Lobby by Justin Rhodes http://www.mediamonitors.net/justinrhodes1.html Approximately one year ago, presidential hopeful Al Gore stood before the participants at the annual Policy Conference organized by the pro-Zionist American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Gore told the audience about a bizarre meeting that had occurred several decades earlier between Israels first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, and the then-U.S. ambassador, Ogden Reid. Apparently, the ambassador walked into Ben-Gurions office and on finding the prime minister standing on his head, decided to follow suit. Whats the moral of this tale? According to Gore: Even if the world is turned upside down, the United States and Israel will see eye to eye. Gores obsequious words are painfully clear today. The world has been turned upside down in the Occupied Territories, and the U.S. and Israeli governments are in complete agreement that the Palestinians are to blame, which was aptly demonstrated during a recent news conference in which President Bush proclaimed, The signal to the Palestinians is to stop the violence. I cant make it any more clear. The fact that Israels colonial occupation has continued for more than three decades is irrelevant to the president. Instead, he seems intent on propagating the Palestinian equals violence doctrine, which is vital to Israels public relations campaign. Of course the Bush administrations support for Israel is more than just verbal. The president will continue to push for economic and military aid to Israel, which has been estimated between $3 and $5.5 billion per year. Ive seen countless examples of how this military aid has been used to terrorize innocent people. On one occasion, while in the Palestinian town of Beit Jala, I visited an apartment complex owned and inhabited by three brothers and their families--a total of twenty-five people; it had been hit by three rockets, destroying a kitchen, a bathroom, and part of the buildings foundation. An elderly man showed us the remains of one rocket, on which we found the following inscription: Made in the U.S.A. Furthermore, President Bush will steadfastly uphold the U.S. tradition of giving Israel diplomatic support; this was recently illustrated when the U.S. vetoed a UN resolution that would have allowed an unarmed international observer force into the Occupied Territories. Currently the U.S. is using its diplomatic muscle to make sure that Zionism is not discussed during the UNs World Conference on Racism in August. However, if it is discussed, the U.S. has threatened to boycott the conference. A U.S. State Department official explained his countrys reasoning to the Toronto Globe Mail: There have been two previous conferences on racism [in 1978 and 1983] and we didnt go to those because they were about Zionism being a form of racism and about the apartheid regime in South Africa, exclusively. They were country-specific polemic-fests, thats what they were foreseen to be and thats what they turned out to be. He then promised that the U.S. would attend if, and only if, the conference addressed racism as a world-wide phenomenon and not as a country-specific issue. Let me attempt to translate what he just said: We boycotted the other conferences because we had good relations with the Zionist regime in Israel and the apartheid regime in South Africa, and by condemning them we would have been condemning ourselves. We will attend this years conference as long as it doesnt vilify our ally, Israel, and as long as we speak about racism in an abstract and irrelevant manner. Essentially, Israels 34-year occupation has nothing to fear from the current U.S. government. Israel will continue to expropriate Palestinian land, demolish Palestinians homes, build and expand settlements and bypass roads, and isolate and suffocate the Palestinians in their reservations, I mean, cities. The U.S. will respond to these colonial policies with meaningless rhetoric or silence. Regarding the United States actions during this conflict, one thing is certain: its vociferous support for Israel and its indifference in the face of Palestinian suffering are a direct result of an ideological occupation that has gripped the U.S. government. This occupation is based on the internalization of Israels arguments vis-a-vis the current conflict, and if its institutions are not challenged, then the lifeblood of the Israeli occupation of Palestine--U.S. economic, military, and diplomatic support--will continue to flow freely. The success of this ideological occupation is partly the result of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), considered one of the top five most influential lobbying organizations in the United States. As Bill Clinton once said, AIPAC has done a magnificent job, better than anybody else lobbying in this town [Washington, D.C.]. You have been stunningly effective. This effectiveness could be
[CTRL] Myth Taking Pith Tolls
-Caveat Lector- From http://reason.com/0101/cr.jm.concealed.html Via http://www.reason.com/bi/guns.html }}Begin Related: Reason Gun Resources REASON * January 2001 Concealed Weapons The controversial book Arming America has the facts all wrong. By Joyce Lee Malcolm Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture, by Michael A. Bellesiles, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 640 pages, $30 Five months before the publication of Arming America, without seeing the text, The New York Times endorsed its authors claim that few guns, let alone a gun culture, existed in America prior to the Civil War. This was just the beginning of the media blitz that would greet the book. A glowing treatment by Garry Wills adorned the cover of The New York Times Book Review; congratulatory reviews appeared in The Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and other papers; the author, Emory University historian Michael Bellesiles, was interviewed on National Public Radio and had an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Reviewers have hailed Arming America as a myth-buster that changes everything, a book destined to raise the gun control debate to a more fact-based and rational level. If the point at which America became a gun culture seems too academic an issue to arouse such intense excitement, the tributes on the books dust jacket make it clear that something else is afoot. Thinking people who deplore Americans addiction to gun violence have been waiting a long time for this information, says Stewart Udall, the former congressman and secretary of the interior. For those still uncertain why thinking people have been waiting for this, or what the everything is that has changed, Cornell University historian Michael Kammen cites the books inescapable policy implications. As those blurbs suggest, Arming America has been enthusiastically embraced by gun control advocates as an aid in their effort to persuade Americans (and their courts) that they do not have, and never have had, a constitutional right to be armed. Any book that can raise the level of debate on any subject, especially one as emotional as gun control, is certainly welcome. The key to a books value, however, is not whether its findings are those any of us have been waiting a long time for but whether they are, in fact, correct. Before considering whether Arming America has indeed shattered a myth, it might be helpful to reflect on why gun control advocates are so excited about a book that, even if accurate, seems only tangentially related to their cause. Behind the hype is the cantankerous debate over the meaning of the Second Amendments single sentence: A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. This debate has fallen prey to a passionate political agenda. Proponents of gun control are convinced that guns in the hands of individuals are to blame for violence in America. Their effort to strictly control, if not eliminate, those guns conflicts with the belief held by most Americans that the right of the people to keep and bear arms applies to them. Hence the Second Amendment has been subjected to intense and critical scrutiny. Some commentators have argued that the awkwardly worded article guarantees only members of a well-regulated militia, such as todays National Guard, a right to be armed. According to this view, the amendment protects a collective right for particular groups. By 1975 the issue had become so confused that the members of an American Bar Association committee charged with sorting it out threw up their hands and announced, It is doubtful that the Founding Fathers had any intent in mind with regard to the meaning of this Amendment. Since then scholars from various fields have delved into the matter and found overwhelming contemporary evidence that the Founders inherited and meant to guarantee an individual right, and none to support the notion that a collective right was intended. This body of work has persuaded such eminent constitutional scholars as Lawrence Tribe and Leonard Levy that the Second Amendment protects an individual right. Opponents of this view have come up with new, increasingly tenuous arguments. First came the claim that the phrase bear arms was used exclusively in a military context, so its inclusion in the Second Amendment must refer only to militia members. Yet in early American discourse, bear arms often referred to simply carrying a weapon, as a 1998 Supreme Court decision found it still does. (The Second Amendment, of course, also protects a right to keep arms, but so far there has been no attempt to redefine keep.) Next came the theory of Carl Bogus, an employee of Handgun Control Inc., that the Second Amendment was the result of a conspiracy between Northern and Southern states to guarantee weapons to keep slaves under control. Among the problems with the Bogus approach is the absence of any direct

Why did they remove this major support pillar? Saba Sunday, 27 May, 2001, 16:46 GMT 17:46 UK Wedding tragedy: Mayor under fire Many families are mourning several relatives Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert is facing growing calls to resign over the collapse of a wedding building in the city. A tenth person was arrested on Sunday as authorities continue to investigate the cause of the disaster which killed 23 people and injured scores of others. Two opposition members on Jerusalem's city council said in a statement that Mr Olmert - a member of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Likud party - allowed businesses in Jerusalem to operate without permits and supervision. Ehud Olmert says he has done nothing wrong But Mr Olmert, quoted by Maariv newspaper, said he had no intention of resigning because he had a clear conscience. The liberal Ha'aretz newspaper also criticised the mayor. It added that the disaster reflected a combination of professional negligence, illegal operations and flouting of the business licensing laws. A local Jerusalem weekly newspaper under the headline 'Olmert must go' said the mayor must bear the responsibility for tragedy. Engineering fault Mr Sharon said the government would meet on Tuesday to consider launching an official investigation. The arrests of 10 people come amid growing public anger over allegations of shoddy construction in the hall, which had stood for 15 years in the Talpiot industrial park. The four owners of the building have been arrseted Police and army officials have said an engineering fault was responsible for the collapse. The top floor of the wedding venue, the Versailles hall, buckled under hundreds of guests sending them plunging three storeys to the ground. Memorial service Shards of glass and debris rained down on the injured. Those detained include the hall's owners, two contractors, and the inventor of a light-weight construction material used in many Israeli buildings since the 1980s but since banned. A BBC correspondent in Jerusalem says some of the detained could face charges of causing death through negligence. Candles were lit at the scene of the tragedy On Sunday, seven more victims of the tragedy were to be buried, including a couple who were due to get married next month. They were found in the rubble embracing each other. More than 160 people remain in hospital, including 16 who are in serious condition. On Saturday, the army called off a round-the-clock search for survivors, saying that all wedding guests and employees had been accounted for.

[CTRL] Israel is running out of friends
-Caveat Lector- Israel is rapidly running out of friends By ERIC MARGOLIS Contributing Foreign Editor May 27, 2001 http://www.canoe.ca/Columnists/margolis.html ROME - Only a few short months ago, Israel's then opposition leader, Ariel Sharon, stormed Jerusalem's Al-Aksa Mosque at the head of 1,000 police, igniting the second Palestinian intifada that now rages out of control. Sharon's coup won him election as prime minister but plunged the region into chaos. In North America, Palestinians are blamed by the usually pro-Israel media and politicians for the current wave of violence and terrorism. But here in Europe, and around the world, there is a rising wave of anger and condemnation against Israel's repression in the Occupied Territories. Only the U.S. stands behind Israel, and less so by the day. The European Union is debating imposing trade sanctions on Israeli exports from the Occupied Territories. Senior EU officials charge Israel with violating the Geneva Convention and international human rights laws. The Convention, signed by Israel, expressly forbids military action against the population of the occupied territories. A top official of the Swiss-based International Red Cross charged Israel's campaign to assassinate Palestinian officials and its increasing employment of heavy weapons against civilians was tantamount to war crimes. Israel's use of tanks against Palestinians is being compared to the Soviets' brutal crushing of the 1956 Hungarian uprising in Budapest. Israel rejects all such criticism, insisting it is merely combating terrorism. Last week, Israel tried to assassinate one of the most senior Palestinian officials, Jibril Rajoub, a moderate and possible successor to PLO leader Yasser Arafat, by pouring tank fire into his home. This, the second attempted murder of a PLO leader in the last weeks, caused the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, a former high-ranking official of the U.S. pro-Israel lobby, to accuse the Sharon government of trying to block any chance for peace by assassinating moderate Palestinian leaders who can stop the violence. Sharon's unleashing of Israeli hit squads has produced a new spiral of revenge attacks. Palestinian extremists of Hamas and Islamic Jihad lobbed mortar fire at Israeli settlements and staged bloody human bomb attacks against Israeli civilians. Israel retaliated by blasting Palestinians with artillery, gunboats, tanks, helicopter gunships and, last week, U.S.-supplied F-16 fighters. Attacks by Palestinians on Jewish civilians are criminal, and militarily useless, as is Israel's shooting at Palestinians. They provide Israel with the excuse to unleash its military might against a defenceless civilian population, and have silenced Israel's pro-peace moderates. Palestinians who believe they can duplicate the victory of Hezbollah guerrillas over Israel in Lebanon are dangerously deluded. Still, Israel's continued colonization of Arab land remains at the heart of the current conflict. Sharon made clear Israel will not stop expanding settlements on occupied Arab land, though many are only partly inhabited. Sharon has repeatedly urged settlers to grab as much Arab land as possible to create irreversible facts on the ground. Israel continued to build settlements during the decade of the Oslo Peace Accords, in spite of pledges to stop. Each settlement had to be protected by an army base, a cleared security zone, and Jewish-only security roads, all built on expropriated Arab land. The strategically-sited settlements carved up Arab territory into a patchwork, making any coherent, viable Palestinian state impossible. This relentless expropriation, including the bulldozing of Arab villages and precious olive groves, which take a century to produce fruit, was the main element that ignited the current intifada. Israel's moderates and left have long demanded settlement-building cease and the settlers, mostly from the U.S. or Russia, be relocated to Israel. No real peace will be possible as long as they remain. Many of the 200,000 settlers came for subsidized housing; others because they believe God gave them the Arabs' land. Israeli moderates say these fundamentalist colonists should not hold the fate of Israel and the Middle East in their hands. The American Mideast scholar, Edward Said, puts it even more harshly, calling the settlers heavily-armed, fanatical religious cultists. A decade ago, George Bush Sr. tried to pressure Israel to cease expanding settlements by threatening to withhold some of the US$3-5 billion the U.S. gives Israel annually. Bush and his secretary of state, James Baker, were immediately accused of anti-Semitism and scourged by the media. Campaign funds poured into the coffers of a little-known Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton. So President George W. Bush is being extra cautious. Instead of leaning on Israel, he is hiding behind the international Mitchell Commission
[CTRL] Fw: Shavuot: Chag Sameach
-Caveat Lector- I like the delightful interpretation of Goyim to mean 'nations' Shavuot - Jewish Holy Days - - Project Mind Exoteric SiteShavuot - 6 Sivan B'SD Shavuot, also known as Chag HaBikurim, Atzeret and Zman Matan Torateinu, is the festival commemorating the giving of the Torah to the People of Israel. It is one of three pilgrimage (to the Temple in Jerusalem) festivals, including Pessach (Passover) and Succoth (Tabernacles). Shavuot falls on the 6th of Sivan, exactly 50 days counting from the second day of Pessach. These 50 days are seen as seven weeks (49 days) of Omer counted scrupulously, day by day, plus the crowning 50th day of Shavuot, itself. Each day has a unique, spiritual meaning gleaned from Kabbalah and Jewish cosmology that we are invited to study, contemplate and experience as best we can. This is considered a time for self-examination and repentance during which one avoids exuberance. On the very first Shavuot in the Jewish year 2448 from Creation, just over 3300 years ago, the Creator revealed Himself to Israel as a nation in a mass epiphany that briefly welded the six hundred thousand souls of Israel into one united consciousness where each soul was concerned only for the other 599,999 with no thought for itself. To stress the unity of this experience, the Torah describes Israel in the singular VaYachan Mul HaHar (and IT) [rather than they] camped opposite the mountain. A beautiful, rabbinical expression for this inner disposition is, K'ish Echad, U'B'lev Echad (as one man and with one heart). In this atmosphere of awe of the Creator and love for others, Israel accepted the Torah (the blueprint of Creation) and the commandments, therein, unconditionally (Na'asseh V'Nishma), as its eternal law. One of the most important implications of having received the Torah as an absolute obligation is that, as far as obedience is concerned, it precludes initiative. While we can struggle to understand and interpret to our hearts content, we are not allowed to add to Torah or detract one iota from it. As beings with free will, we can, heaven forbid, choose to disobey the Torah's commandments but in doing so we would be contravening the covenant made when lsrael accepted the Torah. One Midrash goes as far as to suggest that Mt. Sinai was held over the heads of Israel as a threat, suggesting that the choice of accepting the Torah was predestined for us and that refusal would have resulted in total annihilation. It is clear that the obeisance involved in accepting the Torah put Israel at the level of servants of the Creator. But beyond the 248 positive commandments and the 356 negative ones, there is a remaining area known us Reshut (permission or option). This is a domain of existence where initiative and innovation is not only possible but an key indicator of maturity. The choice of one's profession fits into this category just as does the investigation of this world including science. Science, in Torah, is neither recommended nor forbidden. In fact, it is not explicitly mentioned in Torah. This is not because Torah preceded science, since Torah spans all of existence. It is because to command anything in the domain of Reshut would be to preempt initiative and invalidate the status of Israel as a full partner with the Creator in Creation. It would be to revert to the level of obligation (Mitzva, Chok UMishpat). Little or no initiative is expected of servants or of those who are engulfed in a state of awe. Initiative is what a father hopes to observe in his sons. It involves emulating the father. Attempting to be like the father, emulation (Hashva'at HaTsura), is defined in Kabbalah as love. In contradistinction to awe - an attitude of looking up to a higher authority - initiative involves looking downwards and concerning oneself with living creatures and aspects of existence that are less privileged than oneself (Ahavat HaBriyot). When a son emulates his father in exercising initiative, he is no less in awe of the father than the servant since one does not emulate someone whom one does not look up to. Rather, the state of love is a more highly evolved state superimposed upon awe Ein He'eder B'Ruchniyut (new spiritual stages don't replace old ones but are added to them). This is why, in the Shma prayer, we are exhorted to love the Creator and, elsewhere, in Torah, we are commanded to love others as ourselves. The how of this loving has remained a secret that is only now beginning to be revealed as the creativity that reveals the infinite (and thus the abundance and compassion of the Creator) in this, apparently, finite world. Creativity, receiving from above in order to give, below, is, par excellence, the emulation of the Creator - love. Initiative and innovation are thus the earmarks of purposefulness. They are also telltale indicators of our faith in and love of existence. Each new fact and possibility that we reveal is

Smith I was first made aware of the problem of interlocking directorates in the late 1970s when I heard the story of a student at MIT who had made a startling discovery. Taking the names of the members of the Boards of Directors of America's top 500 corporations he in-put those names into the MIT computer and had it delete duplicate names. To his surprise there were only 180-odd names on the final list! The shocked MIT student reportedly discovered that the average board member sat on 14 and a fraction boards. With a little work on your part you can make the same discovery. Anti-trust laws be damned, at the top it's all one big company. This article is an examination of some of the evidence that Big Business and Big Government, like Siamese twins, form one interlinked entity. This Janus headed creature is controlled through interlocking directorates and other relationships, a Good Ol' Boys' network of the Rich and Famous. Further, we will look at evidence that, contrary to the ideals of Lincoln's government of, by and for the people, America's real government is of, by and for a moneyed elite, one that is quite possibly ultimately controlled by the handful of men who own and/or control the banks. Don't like this Bircher Conspiracy Theory discourage you from reading on, we are going to cover a lot of other ground, including globalism and alien contact! Let us start with taking a look at just one major American bank and the kind of power it really has to shape our society to its will (should it have one, of course)... In 1968 a 1,945 page report on corporate interlocks in America was published by the staff of the House Subcommittee on Domestic Finance, entitled Commercial Banks And Their Trust Activities: Emerging Influence On The American Economy. Let me give you just the highlights from TABLE 76.--INTERLOCKING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FIRST NATIONAL CITY BANK, NEW YORK, N.Y., AND MAJOR CORPORATIONS. The Rockefeller owned First National City Bank is today known as Citibank, which, among many other distinctions, is a major issuer of consumer credit cards. Below is a list of the major American corporations that had director interlocks with First National City Bank (one or more individuals sitting on both the bank's and the cited corporation's board of directors at the time of the Congressional study): Stone Webster, Inc General Foods Corp General Mills, Inc National Distillers and Chemical Corp Wyomissing Corp St. Regis Paper Co Kimberly-Clark Corp Potlatch Forests, Inc Upson Co American Book Co Meredith Publishing Co Monsanto Co W.

Here is the item, sent out by one of the movers of P.A.C.E. (Patriots Assuring Clean Elections) Beginning of item: Is Indiana next? I just read a Washington Post article by David Broder in my Sunday paper yesterday 4/22/01 that on 2/18 Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes, a Democrat, signed legislation requiring that every precinct in the state install up-to-date, touch-screen voting machines by the next presidential election. Officials at the National Conference of State Legislatures said it was the first such measure enacted this year. Now, see what I mean when I say we're running out of time? By the way, let me give a clue to the patriot-types who think we won't have elections in 2004, 2008 or whatever. The UN-NWO types wouldn't be that stupid to alert the gun activists and militia. The plan is to have totally electronic voting with no paper trail. Then what are you gonna do? Folks, it's still Ballots or Bullets. With no ballots in 2004, 2008 or whatever, what do you think is the alternative? /s/ Nick Landholt End of item NA Comment: Nick is absolutely right that the Ruling Elite is NOT NOT NOT going to do anything INCREMENTALLY to upset the braindead majority. There is not going to be any announcement that the elections are off unless the American public is first disarmed. Remember all those dire predictions that Clinton wasnt going to leave office? Such predictions treated Clinton as if he really was the power behind the throne, when he was merely the puppet on the throne. A reliable report has reached me that in the aftermath of a serious tornado in the midwest a while back the feds were shocked yes, SHOCKED, at the amount of ammunition that was on the ground in the aftermath of the tornados path. That ammunition had been stored in the homes of American citizens. So there is not going to be any incremental announcements regarding the end of constitutional freedoms at this time. But Mr. Landholt lays bare the agenda above. Yes, we already have elections in almost every county in which the people are not allowed to check the paper trail but in most counties there still IS a paper trail. The Votescam syndicate is moving to doing away with a paper trail, and to centralize the controlling computer to a single room somewhere, with perhaps regional satellite computers (all of which will be unknown to the public, and never announced to the public). As we have said before, the Modernized Oligarchy knows it is bad form to install a Dictator and then say DO WHAT WE SAY OR ELSE! They know is it cool to install a perfectly riggable voting system, such as touch screens with no paper trail, give their favored candidates a big Media Build-up, replete with some criticism to make it all look real, as well as to keep the puppets off balance and maleable and then elect the chosen officials and then say: We are only doing what you have asked us to do! We are only doing what you demanded at the last election! Nick is also right that things are getting real serious. The Communist or Monopoly Capitalist or Fascist-- (lets not split hairs, all three concepts were conceived and promoted by the same crowd of International Banksters and their hired writers (such as Karl Marx, Communism, Karl Ritter, National Socialism, and so on) -- regime is moving rapidly towards their goal in the Americas and Europe Asia is a bit more of a problem, for several reasons, including the fact that the Chinese Communist regime is wanting to hold on to Communism against the will of the Banksters, who want it to become another Monopoly Capitalist plucking zone, like the US and Europe are becoming.

[CTRL] Euro army unveils Germanic anthem
-Caveat Lector- Heil the Euro Army!! flw THE SUNDAY TIMES http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/Sunday-Times/frontpage.html?2500565 May 27 2001 EUROPE Euro army unveils Germanic anthem We are marching the Euro-march BRITISH troops who take part in operations with the new European rapid reaction force (ERRF) are in for a shock. They will be marching to the beat of a Germanic-sounding anthem, writes Michael Prescott. The force is already under fire from Eurosceptics for its grand ambitions. It is to have its own headquarters, flag and insignia, and politicians on the Continent envisage it operating independently of Nato. Yesterday it emerged that the new force also has its own marching tune. It was played as troops in the existing Eurocorps, which is being transformed into the ERRF, marched through Strasbourg to celebrate Europe Day earlier this month. Eurocorps is the army of peace, sang soldiers from the five-nation force, which will include the British military. This peace will arrive. We are marching the Euro-march. The tune to which the words are set is accessible via the Eurocorps website under the heading European march. A spokesman for the ERRF denied last week that it had an anthem, in contradiction to the website. He declined to explain the origins of the tune and the words on the website have been quietened, making them difficult to hear. The words were in Spanish, though they would be expected to be translated into all EU languages. The music, however, speaks volumes. I have a CD of German military marches with the Berlin police choir and it sounds exactly like that, said Dalwyn Henshall, principal lecturer in music at Canterbury Christchurch University College in Kent. It sounds like a mixture between John Philip Sousa and a German military march. It's exactly the sort of thing you expect for an army. For the Conservatives, the anthem is the latest evidence that supporters of the ERRF intend it to be a full-blown army. Iain Duncan Smith, the shadow defence secretary, believes federalists want to supplant Nato and end America's military presence on the Continent. Tony Blair insists that Nato will have a veto over this new European force, but all the evidence points the other way. Geoff Hoon, the defence secretary, said yesterday that he had never heard of the new anthem. It was, he said, very unlikely that British troops would end up marching to it. Blair and Hoon have promised to make between 18,000 and 24,000 troops available for ERRF operations, which they expect to be mainly peacekeeping duties approved by Nato. The government said early last year that the ERRF would not mean British troops wearing European insignia. Six months ago, however, the Ministry of Defence admitted that troops and vehicles on ERRF duty would go wear a logo alongside national insignia.

If this is to continue than the exchange must continue. Failure on califorinia's part to supply what they said they would supply is out and out blackmail. It can only escalte the situation. For example, but not limited to this event, is perhaps the western states should withhold their water. This water supplies the needed H2O that grows the vast majority of your fruits and Vegatables in the arid part of your state (most of it) and powers alot of your cities, when they are not in blackouts. This water perhaps even supplies your modest house as well with drinking water. Also, just a tiny side thought, this capitalism was able to give you your home? or perhaps you achieved it illegally, with blackmail for example? hhmmm RE your home??? what was your point? Did it actaully have some thing to do with the topic or is it an ego thing? Another point, perhaps you didn't realize, but the hottest temperature recored in the United States is in Death Valley. Last I checked the location was in Califorina. Correct me if I am wrong Steve but I seem to recall that LA was, or is, actually able to supply its own power and even export to other cites who failed to keep up with the times. Finally, I hope, is the people who have contibued to make it difficult for California to supply itself with energy is not the Buish folks but those who have land holdings in califoria and ask there running mate to open their land up to oil exploration.

Date: 5/24/01 5:04:56 PM Central Daylight Time From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Carl Worden) Reply-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Carl Worden) To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Joseph Farah) Ladies gentlemen: While renting a movie at the local video store, a very nice young lady, a student at Eagle Point High School, informed me her school had received two bomb threats two weeks earlier. The bomb threats never hit the local news, thanks to an agreement between local law enforcement and the media. It was a smart move to reduce the incidence of copy-cat threats, and CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and every other form of media should emulate the same policy whenever a school shooting takes place. Had they done so from the very beginning, I have little doubt some of those children would still be alive today. Anyway, this young lady informed me that they were immediately evacuated from the school, but were required to leave all their personal possessions like back packs, purses, etc., behind. Inside the school, the police officers, acting under the direction of the Chief of the Eagle Point Police Department, set about opening every locker and searching every backpack and purse. Obviously, the intent was to find a bomb or two, but they also found Marijuana, and, according to the young lady, a small hatchet. The items of contraband were seized without a warrant and turned over to school officials, who would be taking punitive actions against the little infidels who possessed them. No bombs were found in either case. Both threats had been called in anonymously from pay telephones. Okay, now what do we have here? According to the police chief, the school owns the lockers and can open them to search anytime they want to -- including opening and looking inside items found in the lockers and left behind during the evacuation. I asked the police chief where I could look up a law, either state or federal, that would establish such school authority and authorize such a search. He was unable to cite such a law. I asked the police chief if he or any other officer had called a judge to secure a search warrant. No attempt had been made. I asked if the students or their parents had signed any waivers kept on file at the school that would give the school administration or the police permission to search the personal possessions of students in the event of such an

[CTRL] California senators urge probe into energy industry's reported influence
-Caveat Lector- California senators urge probe into energy industry's reported influence Copyright © 2001 Nando Media Copyright © 2001 Scripps McClatchy Western Service By MICHAEL DOYLE, Scripps-McClatchy Western Service WASHINGTON (May 27, 2001 11:22 a.m. EDT) - Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., called Friday for an investigation into accounts of industry pressure on federal energy regulators. With the Senate about to fall back into Democratic control, and ahead of a visit to California from President Bush, Feinstein urged hearings into allegations concerning the Texas energy company Enron and a member of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The New York Times reported that Enron's chairman, Kenneth Lay, had told FERC Chairman Curtis Hebert Jr. that Hebert's hopes for keeping the chairmanship would be aided by the industry if Hebert played ball. Specifically, the paper reported that Hebert was advised to use his regulatory position to help open up the electricity transmission business to companies like Enron. While Mr. Lay's account differs, it is clear that the citizens of the United States, especially the people of California, who are suffering from FERC's failure to do its job, deserve an investigation and full public hearing into what happened, Feinstein said in a statement. Feinstein's fellow California Democrat, Sen. Barbara Boxer, added in a statement that this story provides further evidence concerning the close ties of this administration to major energy companies. Boxer termed these relationships particularly disturbing because Enron is one of the companies making enormous profits during California's current energy crisis. The Democrats' anger at FERC precedes the New York Times report. Along with other California lawmakers, they have wanted the commission - now short-handed and operating with three Senate-confirmed commissioners - to impose price caps on Western power. The commission, led by Hebert, has so far refused to impose the price caps that the energy industry opposes. According to the Times' account, Lay told Hebert that he and Enron would like to support me as chairman, but we would have to agree on principles concerning energy regulation. It would be unconscionable if any of the nation's electricity traders or generators were in a position to be able to determine who chairs or becomes a member of the commission, Feinstein said. Lay told the Times that Hebert had requested Enron's support for keeping the commission's chairmanship, and that he had very possibly discussed with Hebert issues relating to the commission's regulating access to the business of energy transmission. An ally of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, Hebert was first named to the energy commission by President Clinton in 1999. Bush named him chairman Jan. 22, though he has not been considered secure in the position. Besides being a major energy company, Enron is a major political player. The Houston-based company contributed $1.1 million to Republican campaign committees in 1999 and 2000, and $532,000 to Democratic committees during the same period, according to records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.

For, in the interim between that evidence and full appreciation of it, many different forces go to work on how the interpretation of that evidence is to be laid out. And subsequent evidence will be played to that effect. That is a prime concern of the secret Second Technology and one they are fully capable of implementing...at levels you seem unwilling to fathom. Let me give you some examples from areas involving sensitive matters to status quo: When the story broke that New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison was about to indict a group for conspiracy to assassinate JFK, a picture of one of the conspirators, David Ferrie, appeared in the Dallas Morning News...with the story of his mysterious death the former evening. The very next day a taxi cab driver stepped forward with a disclosure that he had driven the man in the picture, Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby to Ruby's Carousel Club in downtown Dallas, from the airport, the day before the Assassination. Was this significant? It damn well was, for it affirmed the story of an attorney that had sat in a booth behind the trio and been able to recall every word spoken by them that day ver batim...a mention of this is in the Warren Report along with the ruling out of its validity with the statement, the man's memory was too good. My point is, THAT DAY, AFTER THE GARRISON INVESTIGATION LEAK, WAS THE ONLY ANY REFERENCE TO THE TAXI DRIVER MADE. While the revelation it made sank back deeper and deeper from impacting the public psyche. When Fort Worth had its first taste of mass murder with the church killings a couple of years ago, the individual was found to be under Veteran Administration's care and to have been given (and taking) prosaic. It was found in the search of his home. A few days later that was repudiated and the matter dropped. The public ended with a feeling they did indeed need to sacrifice more personal freedom in order to be protected by more stringent police state legislation. Today, hardly anyone recalls that possible clue to their own protector's culpability in the matter. Shortly after government investigation narrowed its suspects to Timothy McVeigh in relationship to the Oklahoma City Blast, one of the mothers that had lost two children in the horror, brought up an interesting fact to reporters. The day of the blast, none of the BATF had come to work. She had been made curious of that when bringing her own children to the nursery there, those children of BATF employees had not come that morning. In this case the matter persisted a week or two in the papers...with the usual spin and contrived resolution...but was never resolved satisfactorily. Then just disappeared, with even the aftermath of the woman being subjected to brutal intimidation wholly left out of discussion in the public forum. I can go on and on. There's the Branch Davidian massacre. I could give you several examples in connection with that. There is Robert Kennedy's Assassination, a couple thereand on, and on, and on. Believe what you see in the symmetry of the face from the images early on, not what has become treatment since. Yes, there is one other possibility. The face was given a direct thermo-nuclear hit and reduced to a pile of rubble. Not as unlikely as we might like to think.

[CTRL] Navy Shows Off New Toys
http://interestalert.com/brand/siteia.shtml?Story=st/sn/0526aaa02989.nand Sys=v2oType=NewsFilter=High%20TechFid=HIGHTECH Navy displays latest high tech gear NEW YORK (May 26, 2001 07:56 a.m. EDT ) - One high-tech gadget can drive a Cadillac at night - or blow up a bridge. Another quickly seals a wound on the battlefield or at a car wreck on the highway. With Fleet Week celebrations under way in New York Harbor, the Navy is showing off its military technology, how it works in war time and how it can double for civilian use. Much of it is aboard the training vessel Starfish, a floating showcase for the military's people and technology. Under the Starfish's decks, a video screen flashes images of the USS Zumwalt, which the Navy hopes to deploy in 2011. "This is not the Starship Enterprise! This is your Navy!" booms a voice from the screen showing the new destroyer's command center. The reenactment of a missile launch under enemy attack is managed from eight computer stations, with a woman as the chief engineer. Officers face each other at their computer stations, sharing the same information and video-conferencing as they stage simulated war at sea. "The system is in three parts: hardware, software and people," says John Lackie, director of software development for this new Integrated Command Environment. "We're trying to build a ship around people, not the other way around." The Starfish is also loaded with military technology with peacetime uses, like an infrared heat-seeking sensor that could guide bombs or help a Cadillac DeVille driver "see" objects on the road at night, such as a deer. At the tip of a Mark 84 bomb, a pre-stored image of the target enables the Direct Attack Munition Affordable Seeker, or DAMASK, to "seek" that image and zero in for an attack. "A hard, dumb bomb just falls, but this sensor can guide it to a target," says Lt. Commander David Street, of the Office of Naval Research in Arlington, Va. "This picks up the energy, the heat signature, of a target like a jeep, a truck, a helicopter." Also on display is a bandage laced with an algae-based substance that can stop bleeding and seal a wound before the victim is evacuated from the battlefield. "You can bleed to death in minutes, and this will allow us to save more lives during that first 'golden hour,'" Street says. "This would be great in emergencies like car wrecks." Another device promises to regenerate hearing. A microcatheter injects medication spurring growth of hair cells in mammals' ears, technology created to combat hearing loss suffered by those working on aircraft carrier flight decks. There is also a 360-degree camera lens first developed by a Columbia University researcher that can be used for real-estate advertising, travel shots and crime scenes - or as a submarine periscope that scans the entire horizon at once. The Office of Naval Research, with $1.5 billion in annual funding and branches in London, Tokyo and Singapore, develops military technology with private companies and universities. The infrared sensor was derived from an option to the Cadillac DeVille that was itself an offshoot of technology the military used during night missions in the Gulf War. The future of the military is also on display during Fleet Week in the form of 6,000 sailors, Marines and soldiers and 15 naval vessels, including the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy and the state-of-the-art guided missile destroyer USS Mahan. The ships are scheduled to leave Wednesday morning. The military also celebrates an annual Fleet Week in San Francisco in October.
[CTRL] Kentucky Horse Deaths Blamed On Caterpillars
-Caveat Lector- Very interesting! I have never heard of this but will suggest a check for wild cherry trees near grazing for they are prevalent in this area also. Odd we had no deaths as we had 90 degrees then three weeks later a snow like 3 inches of Icee or pure slush. Foals here are fine and frisky. I do see that tent caterpillar from time to time, also. So yet another way the weather influences all things. ~Amelia~ Kentucky Horse Deaths Blamed On Caterpillars 5-27-1 LEXINGTON, Ky. (Reuters) - The illness that caused hundreds of Kentucky mares to miscarry or deliver stillborn foals has been traced to caterpillars which had eaten cherry tree leaves tainted with naturally occurring cyanide, officials said on Friday. Unusually high levels of the poison in populous black cherry trees was somehow transferred to the mares -- possibly through feces from Eastern tent caterpillars in bluegrass pastures -- and killed the unborn horses in the womb. Roughly one out of 20 foals due to be born this spring died, and next year's foal crop may be cut sharply, causing at least $225 million in lost foal sales and stud fees in Kentucky's $1 billion annual horse industry. Mare reproductive loss syndrome, the name given to the illness that peaked earlier this month, has subsided recently, veterinarians said. Breeders had taken desperate measures such as delivering foals early and keeping mares out of their famed bluegrass pastures. Originally, scientists had thought toxin-producing molds had attacked pastures, which in turn had caused the reproductive problem in the mares. But scientists told breeders on Thursday that the cause of the foal deaths was likely the caterpillar and the cyanide-producing trees, and that the problem was safely past. In future, horse breeders could take precautions when caterpillar populations are heavy, such as restricting grazing, University of Kentucky Agriculture Department spokesman Haven Miller said in a telephone interview. The unusual weather pattern could have caused the cyanide levels in the trees to be higher, Miller said. We had a similar problem in 1980-81, when many unexplained horse deaths occurred. This spring featured similarly warm, dry weather followed by a sudden frost, which not only damaged pastures but may have increased the poison content in the trees. Breeders have known about the cyanide content in cherry trees, and some chop them down. Agronomists had reported a heavy infestation of Eastern tent caterpillars this spring, which spread webbing in the branches and can defoliate trees. If confirmed, this working hypothesis would lead to a very positive outlook for prediction and prevention of recurrence of mare reproductive loss syndrome, Scott Smith, dean of the University of Kentucky's College of Agriculture, told the breeders.

They will be marching to the beat of a Germanic-sounding anthem, writes Michael Prescott. The music, however, speaks volumes. I have a CD of German military marches with the Berlin police choir and it sounds exactly like that, said Dalwyn Henshall, principal lecturer in music at Canterbury Christchurch University College in Kent. It sounds like a mixture between John Philip Sousa and a German military march. It's exactly the sort of thing you expect for an army.

Re: [CTRL] Konformist: Pearl Harbor Sucks (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- but as the global trade treaties can show you - Global Corporations with factories in china, taiwan, america, germany, england, india, south america can easily bully nations like canada into accepting a bad deal - a multinational recently sued canada. Nobody has to bully Canada into accepting these trade agreements as Canadian politicians are lapdogs for mutlinationals and globalism is seen as something akin to Utopia by almost all pols and the media (barring the occasional whinge from the CBC mind you). But this is to be expected in a nation that yearns passionately to be the UN's model state - the perverse logic here says that in allowing our country to be dominated and dictated to by outside forces we somehow create a strong Canadian identity for ourselves.

[CTRL] Race Riot in north England
Race Riot in England last night amidst a climate of political persecution where politicians describe england as a mongrel race and far right candidates are emerging to stand for election seats - Race Riot erupted in Oldham in Greater manchester - the english midlands. Asians were attacked by nazi yobs and this triggered scenes of social devastation with cars being overturned and petrol bombs thrown. The nazi yobs escaped - but the asian crowd in anger turned on the english police for a runningbattle that lasted all night. The Asian community is an underpriveleged ghetto with high unemployment rates and comprises 15% of the population. A scottish family in an english midlands town complain of being threatened with violence, and petrol and have had missiles thrown through their window. The English Midlands is traditionally a powderkeg. Southern England is considered a rich utopia, but north of the town of Watford at a pass in the southern dividing hills the watford gap - from watford to northern scotland - the land is a poor, distraught third world country recently reported by the german magazine STERN. Traditionally, English media have tried to foment nationalism to keep the English poor from unifying with the Scottish poor - but the most violent record of social unrest is not the scots but the hard boiled english who riot on a regular basis eg. Liverpool riots against the poll tax. The rise of English nationalism amongst a streak of xenophobia is going to be ugly - and nor are the scots lily white and blame free - the bosnian refugees of sprinburn glasgow are regularly harrassed because they are perceived to be getting special treatment not available to the scottish poor. This is probably true - but not any excuse for racist abuse. The seeds of dissatisfaction in northern england and scotland are taking roots in hotbeds of poverty, where northern britain has the worst deal anywhere outside of bangladesh. In fact a disaster area in india or africa will get more medical attention and nourishment than most scots or yorkshiremen. andrew hennessey

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] WHERE BUSH PLAN COLUMBIA PAY OFF GOES
WHERE BUSH PLAN COLUMBIA PAY OFF GOES Remember I write from the land of John McCain and what he calls campaign reform. He understands as well as I do that only those qualified to vote for a candidate should be allowed to contribute to their campaign. And then it should be a fixed amount that the average person whould have a chance to give --- certainly not as high as $1,000. Then only individuals can contribute because only individuals are represented. No PACs, no Unions no corporations --- unless an individual delegates his limit to such an organization. McCain knows that would be fair but he also knows that system would not favor him as the present one does. In every election in Arizona half the campaign money comes from not only outside the district being represented but outside the state. That money is pure bribe money and our politicians love it. They thrive on it and they will never end it on thier own. Let McCain forget about the distinctions of hard money and soft money and eliminate this OUT OF DISTRICT MONEY that should not be given to campaigns. You and I can not get in to see our congressman but these companies below can pick up their telephones and get them any time they wish. How is it that there is a $1,000 limit on campaign contributions form individuals and a much higher limit for corporations? It is a system of bribery where the welfare of the public is bribed away.

Re: [CTRL] ???HOAX??? win utility ?? Fwd: Check YOUR Computer For Virus - Urg...
How to repair damage from a hoax SULFNBK.EXE, a utility shipped as part of the Windows 98 operating system that allows users to restore long file names, and now the victim of a bogus virus warning. The hoax message urges users to search their systems for the presence of SULFNBK.EXE and, if found, delete it. Of course, it's a legitimate Win98 operating system file, so anyone running Windows 98 will find it. And many, it seems, have deleted it. Following are the steps to take to restore SULFNBK.EXE from your Windows 98 operating system CD. You will want to have your Windows 98 operating CD in the CD-ROM drive bay. If the program autoruns (launches), just click Exit. A word of caution. Any executable has the potential to be infected. Any executable received via email should be considered infected until proven otherwise. There is a vast difference between the SULFNBK.EXE file that legitimately resides on your hard drive, and an SULFNBK.EXE arriving via email. The Magistr virus randomly selects, infects, and sends portable executable files (PE EXE) files less than 132Kb in length. This makes SULFNBK.EXE, with its paltry 45,056 file size, a perfect candidate. Thus, if you were to receive SULFNBK.EXE via email, consider it infected. Windows 98 includes a handy tool known as the System File Checker which can be used to restore damaged or deleted files. To open SFC, click "Start" | "Run" and type "SFC" without the quotes. Click "OK". System File Checker will launch a dialogue box with two choices. Choose "Extract one file from installation disk". In the "Specify the system file you would like to restore" box, type "sulfnbk.exe" (without the quotes). Click "Start". You will be prompted to specify the location that contains the file you want to extract and the destination directory for that file. You will need to input the "Restore from" location and the "Save file in" location. "Restore from" will be the win98 folder on your Windows 98 operating system CD. It is easiest and most accurate to use the "Browse" button to locate and select the folder. The "Save file in" destination folder is the Windows directory and Command subdirectory. For example, C:\WIN98\COMMAND When both boxes have been filled in, click OK. You should receive a message stating "The file has been successfully extracted". Click OK and close any remaining SFC dialog boxes. One final note, if you're one of the unfortunate who purchased a computer that comes with the notorious "Restore CD" only, you probably will not be able to use that CD to restore the file (or install new hardware, or update/replace drivers, or do much of anything except restore your system to factory defaults). Contact your computer vendor and ask them to send you a true copy of the Windows 98 operating system that you purchased with your system. Oh... and good luck getting them to send it.

[CTRL] The Replacement
Free Congress Foundation's Notable News Now Excerpts from FCF Programming and Other FCF Projects May 28, 2001 The Free Congress Commentary FBI Director Replacement a Serious Decision for Bush by Paul M. Weyrich From the Endangered Liberties Television Program This nation has managed to hang on by a thread somehow, through the prayers and hard work of good people. I cannot help but think of how close we have come to either having Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Louis Freeh stay on in his current position or be replaced by President Al Gore. What a frightening thought! I am still shaken by it. Instead, a good and decent president, George W. Bush, someone who prays for Divine guidance each and every day, someone who reads the Scriptures, someone who discusses holy things with the elect, will be making that appointment. I have spoken with Attorney General Ashcroft about the search and certainly he is of sound mind in thinking about the sort of person who needs to hold this position. First of all we are talking about a 10-year term. The FBI Director can outlast two full terms of a president. Second, the pay isn't all that great. The person is obviously going to have to be extremely dedicated and able to live with his means. The candidate we are talking about should probably know the FBI but should not be taken in by it. A lot of what has gone wrong with the FBI over the last two decades or more has to do with the bureaucratic structure. There is going to be a tendency to want to blame most of the FBI's ills on the late Director J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover did a lot of things that were questionable. But he also did a not of things that were right. And he wasn't always trying to expand the powers of the FBI, which was to his credit. He kept the portfolio of the FBI narrowly focused. Consequently, the FBI acquired a reputation, and a deserved one, of getting what it went after. Today's FBI has become a sad joke. If some of these cases weren't so terribly important for national security reasons, one almost wouldn't mind seeing what went wrong analyzed by any number of the newsmagazines. All of this is to say that the president has one of the most important decisions of his presidency coming up in the next few months. In many ways this is at least as important as a Supreme Court nominee. The president needs to consult widely on this appointment. He needs to pray about it fervently. He needs, as unfortunate as this is, to have discreet discussions with the Senate, where the nomination will have to go for confirmation. This nominee needs to be someone the nation can trust. The nominee needs to be someone who can raise morale at the FBI, which is at an all-time low. This person needs to be above reproach. That is one tall order for even this president. This appointment may well determine what kind of nation we live in beyond the presidency of George W. Bush. Please, Mr. President. Give this your very best.

[CTRL] HAARP
http://www.copvcia.com/haarp.html
H.A.A.R.P.
It's not only greenhouse gas emissions: Washington's new world order weapons
have the ability to trigger climate change.
By Michel Chossudovsky - Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa and TFF
associate, author of The Globalization of Poverty, second edition, Common
Courage Press
The important debate on global warming under UN auspices provides but a
partial picture of climate change; in addition to the devastating impacts of
greenhouse gas emissions on the ozone layer, the World's climate can now be
modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated "non-lethal weapons."
Both the Americans and the Russians have developed capabilities to manipulate
the World's climate.
In the US, the technology is being perfected under the High-frequency Active
Aural Research Program (HAARP) as part of the ("Star Wars") Strategic Defence
Initiative (SDI). Recent scientific evidence suggests that HAARP is fully
operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts,
hurricanes and earthquakes.
HAARP IS A MASS DESTRUCTIVE WEAPON - NOT PART OF ANY NEGOTIATIONS
From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction.
Potentially, it constitutes an instrument of conquest capable of selectively
destabilising agricultural and ecological systems of entire regions.
While there is no evidence that this deadly technology has been used, surely
the United Nations should be addressing the issue of "environmental warfare"
alongside the debate on the climatic impacts of greenhouse gases.
Despite a vast body of scientific knowledge, the issue of deliberate climatic
manipulations for military use has never been explicitly part of the UN
agenda on climate change. Neither the official delegations nor the
environmental action groups participating in the Hague Conference on Climate
Change (CO6) (November 2000) have raised the broad issue of "weather warfare"
or "environmental modification techniques (ENMOD)" as relevant to an
understanding of climate change.
The clash between official negotiators, environmentalists and American
business lobbies has centered on Washington's outright refusal to abide by
commitments on carbon dioxide reduction targets under the 1997 Kyoto
protocol.(1) The impacts of military technologies on the World's climate are
not an object of discussion or concern. Narrowly confined to greenhouse
gases, the ongoing debate on climate change serves Washington's strategic and
defense objectives.
"WEATHER WARFARE"
World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell confirms that "US military
scientists are working on weather systems as a potential weapon. The methods
include
the enhancing of storms and the diverting of vapor rivers in the Earth's
atmosphere to produce targeted droughts or floods."(2)
Already in the 1970s, former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski
had foreseen in his book "Between Two Ages" that:
"Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques
for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security
forces need be appraised... Techniques of weather modification could be
employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm. "
Marc Filterman, a former French military officer, outlines several types of
"unconventional weapons" using radio frequencies. He refers to "weather war,"
indicating that the U.S. and the Soviet Union had already "mastered the
know-how needed to unleash sudden climate changes (hurricanes, drought) in
the early 1980s." (3) These technologies make it "possible to trigger
atmospheric disturbances by using Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radar
[waves]." (4)
A simulation study of future defense "scenarios" commissioned for the US Air
Force calls for: "US aerospace forces to 'own the weather' by capitalizing on
emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to
war-fighting applications." From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting
those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to
complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control,
weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options
to defeat or coerce an adversary. In the United States, weather-modification
will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and
international applications. Our government will pursue such a policy,
depending on its interests, at various levels. (5)
THE HIGH-FREQUENCY ACTIVE AURAL RESEARCH PROGRAM - HAARP
The High-Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokoma
Alaska-jointly managed by the US Air Force and the US Navy-is part of a new
generation of sophisticated weaponry under the US Strategic Defense
Initiative (SDI). Operated by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Space
Vehicles Directorate, HAARP constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable
of creating "controlled

-Caveat Lector- Well, Andrew, I believe there was a little more involved than that. And bad timing as this is Memorial Day (Monday) when we honor our deceased military. Hollywood may have 'weaklings and playboys' but that is not America. We do not get our information from there but from our families and we learn of relatives who died and how. We know history text books are not to be trusted and try to learn the truth from as many records as we can access. I think it is mostly foreigners who buy into the hype, and tourists. Average Americans are very different and perhaps you are buying into something yourself with your denial. We don't like the Globalists, either. But speaking of America importing the scientists started me thinking~~perhaps I live in a rather interesting area after all despite it being rather rural . Many of the scientists went to the jet propulsion lab at Palo Alto in California but the majority of them came here to the Marshall Space and Rocket Center/NASA/Redstone Arsenal here in Alabama. I doubt that very many people ever think of them any more who do not live here as I do. There used to be only one German restaurant in Huntsville so there were frequently some of them there eating. One would see the wives shopping in small groups of 4 or 5, still preferring to speak German among themselves. I saw a once distinguished scientist so old and feeble he was being assisted to the restroom last time I was there at the restaurant. Really sad for we are genuinely fond of them and named the local civic center for Werner Von Braun. I wonder exactly under what conditions they came and if they had options or orders. A friend of mine has a daughter who was doing community service for National Honor Society and she was to take an elderly person living alone to lunch. I was elected to drive for her mother was at work that day. The lady was the widow of one of the scientists. During lunch we learned that she had had a child that died during the war and they never had any more children, she said, what with all the 'moving about.' The teenager continued to ask the elderly woman questions throughout lunch. At first, she seemed rather startled and maybe almost fearful when asked things such as 'how did you happent o come to this country? Eventually she seemed to realize the girl was just attempting polite conversation. The widow just said We came with the after the war effort. When asked if she would not like to return to Germany now, she did seem startled and said that the only relative she found after the war was now deceased and she knew no one there. Here, she said, she had five friend. I cannot imagine what that must be like for her, here in this country with no relatives and a very few friends so far from where she started in life. And actually sort of a child's school project. How 'long ago and far away' the Germany of her childhood must seem to her now. She is truly 'a stranger in a strange land' despite efforts to make it her home. And mind your manners, Laddie, for so very many in this country have Scottish ancestors, particularly in this area where it is about 100%. Rare indeed is the person who does not, so careful with the names. Look in any American phone book and you might be surprised at the percentage of names that are totally familiar to you. My own family is fraught with the Campbells, Kirks, Anderson and McIntyres. You are right about Gobalist knowing no national loyalties, only profit. But both the British and Americans fought valiantly and the important thing is, we are not the enemy. :-} ~Amelia~ - Original Message - From: Andrew Hennessey [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Caveat Lector- The US government knew that it was going to happen - and they actually 'redeployed' their best ships elsewhere leaving the 'rubbish' for their co-conspirators the japanese, I keep seeing the trailer in scotland '.. that america is a nation of weaklings and playboys ...'

-Caveat Lector- .. The truth about environmentalism: GENOCIDE! http://www.churchofeuthanasia.org/e-sermons/humcan.html Humans as Cancer by A. Kent MacDougall When a spot on a person's skin changes color, becomes tough or rough and elevated or ulcerated, bleeds, scales, scabs over and fails to heal, it's time to consult a doctor. For these are early signs of skin cancer. As seen by astronauts and photographed from space by satellites, millions of manmade patterns on the land surface of Earth resemble nothing so much as the skin conditions of cancer patients. The transformation of the natural contours of the land into the geometric patterns of farm fields, the straightening of meandering rivers into canal-like channels, and the logging of forests into checkerboard clearcuts all have their counterparts in the loss of normal skin markings in cancer victims. Green forests logged into brown scrub and overgrazed grasslands bleached into white wasteland are among the changes in Earth's color. Highways, streets, parking lots and other paved surfaces have toughened Earth's surface, while cities have roughened it. Slag heaps and garbage dumps can be compared to raised skin lesions. Open-pit mines, quarries and bomb craters, including the 30 million left by US forces in Indochina, resemble skin ulcerations. Saline seeps in inappropriately irrigated farm fields look like scaly, festering sores. Signs of bleeding include the discharge of human sewage, factory effluents and acid mine drainage into adjacent waterways, and the erosion of topsoil from deforested hillsides to turn rivers, lakes and coastal waters yellow, brown and red. The red ring around much of Madagascar that is visible from space strikes some observers as a symptom that the island is bleeding to death. If skin cancer were all that ailed Earth, the planet's eventual recovery would be less in doubt. For with the exception of malignant melanoma, skin cancer is usually curable. But the parallels between the way cancer progresses in the human body and humans' progressively malignant impact on Earth are more than skin-deep. Consider: Cancer cells proliferate rapidly and uncontrollably in the body; humans continue to proliferate rapidly and uncontrollably in the world. Crowded cancer cells harden into tumors; humans crowd into cities. Cancer cells infiltrate and destroy adjacent normal tissues; urban sprawl devours open land. Malignant tumors shed cells that migrate to distant parts of the body and set up secondary tumors; humans have colonized just about every habitable part of the globe. Cancer cells lose their natural appearance and distinctive functions; humans homogenize diverse natural ecosystems into artificial monocultures. Malignant tumors excrete enzymes and other chemicals that adversely affect remote parts of the body; humans' motor vehicles, power plants, factories and farms emit toxins that pollute environments far from the point of origin. A cancerous tumor continues to grow even as its expropriation of nutrients and disruption of vital functions cause its host to waste away. Similarly, human societies undermine their own long-term viability by depleting and fouling the environment. With civilization as with cancer, initial success begets self-defeating excess. It's easy to dismiss the link between cancer the disease in humans and humans as a disease on the planet as both preposterous and repulsive--or as a mere metaphor rather than the unifying hypothesis its leading proponent claims for it. Only a handful of limited-circulation periodicals, including this one (see Forencich 1992/93), have granted the concept a respectful hearing. Accepting the humans-as-cancer concept comes easier if one also accepts the Gaia hypothesis that the planet functions as a single living organism. To be sure, the Earth is mostly inanimate. Its rocky, watery surface supports only a relatively thin layer of plants, animals and other living organisms. But so, too, is a mature tree mostly dead wood and bark, with only its thin cambium layer and its leaves, flowers and seeds actually alive. Yet the tree is a living organism. Earth behaves like a living organism to the extent that the chemical composition of its rocky crust, oceans and atmosphere has both supported and been influenced by the biological processes of living organisms over several billion years. These self-sustaining, self-regulating processes have kept the Earth's surface temperature, its concentrations of salt in the oceans and oxygen in the atmosphere, and other conditions favorable for life. James Lovelock, who propounded the Gaia hypothesis in 1979, initially rejected humans' cancer-like impacts as a corollary, declaring flatly: People are not in any way like a tumor (Lovelock 1988, p. 177). But before long he modified this view, observing: Humans on the Earth behave in some ways like a pathogenic micro-organism, or like the cells
Re: [CTRL] Fw: Shavuot: Chag Sameach
-Caveat Lector- Andrew Hennessey wrote: -Caveat Lector- I like the delightful interpretation of Goyim to mean 'nations' That's exactly what it means. A precise interpretation from Hebrew. Joshua2 Shavuot - Jewish Holy Days - - Project Mind Exoteric SiteShavuot - 6 Sivan B'SD Shavuot, also known as Chag HaBikurim, Atzeret and Zman Matan Torateinu, is the festival commemorating the giving of the Torah to the People of Israel. It is one of three pilgrimage (to the Temple in Jerusalem) festivals, including Pessach (Passover) and Succoth (Tabernacles). Shavuot falls on the 6th of Sivan, exactly 50 days counting from the second day of Pessach. These 50 days are seen as seven weeks (49 days) of Omer counted scrupulously, day by day, plus the crowning 50th day of Shavuot, itself. Each day has a unique, spiritual meaning gleaned from Kabbalah and Jewish cosmology that we are invited to study, contemplate and experience as best we can. This is considered a time for self-examination and repentance during which one avoids exuberance. On the very first Shavuot in the Jewish year 2448 from Creation, just over 3300 years ago, the Creator revealed Himself to Israel as a nation in a mass epiphany that briefly welded the six hundred thousand souls of Israel into one united consciousness where each soul was concerned only for the other 599,999 with no thought for itself. To stress the unity of this experience, the Torah describes Israel in the singular VaYachan Mul HaHar (and IT) [rather than they] camped opposite the mountain. A beautiful, rabbinical expression for this inner disposition is, K'ish Echad, U'B'lev Echad (as one man and with one heart). In this atmosphere of awe of the Creator and love for others, Israel accepted the Torah (the blueprint of Creation) and the commandments, therein, unconditionally (Na'asseh V'Nishma), as its eternal law. One of the most important implications of having received the Torah as an absolute obligation is that, as far as obedience is concerned, it precludes initiative. While we can struggle to understand and interpret to our hearts content, we are not allowed to add to Torah or detract one iota from it. As beings with free will, we can, heaven forbid, choose to disobey the Torah's commandments but in doing so we would be contravening the covenant made when lsrael accepted the Torah. One Midrash goes as far as to suggest that Mt. Sinai was held over the heads of Israel as a threat, suggesting that the choice of accepting the Torah was predestined for us and that refusal would have resulted in total annihilation. It is clear that the obeisance involved in accepting the Torah put Israel at the level of servants of the Creator. But beyond the 248 positive commandments and the 356 negative ones, there is a remaining area known us Reshut (permission or option). This is a domain of existence where initiative and innovation is not only possible but an key indicator of maturity. The choice of one's profession fits into this category just as does the investigation of this world including science. Science, in Torah, is neither recommended nor forbidden. In fact, it is not explicitly mentioned in Torah. This is not because Torah preceded science, since Torah spans all of existence. It is because to command anything in the domain of Reshut would be to preempt initiative and invalidate the status of Israel as a full partner with the Creator in Creation. It would be to revert to the level of obligation (Mitzva, Chok UMishpat). Little or no initiative is expected of servants or of those who are engulfed in a state of awe. Initiative is what a father hopes to observe in his sons. It involves emulating the father. Attempting to be like the father, emulation (Hashva'at HaTsura), is defined in Kabbalah as love. In contradistinction to awe - an attitude of looking up to a higher authority - initiative involves looking downwards and concerning oneself with living creatures and aspects of existence that are less privileged than oneself (Ahavat HaBriyot). When a son emulates his father in exercising initiative, he is no less in awe of the father than the servant since one does not emulate someone whom one does not look up to. Rather, the state of love is a more highly evolved state superimposed upon awe Ein He'eder B'Ruchniyut (new spiritual stages don't replace old ones but are added to them). This is why, in the Shma prayer, we are exhorted to love the Creator and, elsewhere, in Torah, we are commanded to love others as ourselves. The how of this loving has remained a secret that is only now beginning to be revealed as the creativity that reveals the infinite (and thus the abundance and compassion of the Creator) in this, apparently, finite world. Creativity, receiving from above in order to give, below, is, par excellence, the emulation

The feds could charge Torricelli by summer's end to try to beat the five-year statute of limitations on allegations that Torricelli took an $8,100 Rolex watch from New Jersey businessman David Chang in November 1996 and money for a Mercedes in August 1996. The probe could take longer if Torricelli agrees to waive the statute of limitations, but that seems unlikely since the feds and the senator are at war and negotiations between the two sides are nonexistent - despite Torricelli's recent order that his lawyers open a dialogue with Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White. Two lawyers recently hired by Torricelli are known for their scorched-earth defense tactics - Ted Wells defended Bill Clinton's Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy on illegal-gifts charges by winning at trial, and Mark Pomerantz ran White's own criminal division. Sources say Torricelli still hasn't been told he's a criminal target. Such a letter usually - but not always - precedes an indictment. Torricelli is under investigation for a variety of possible crimes, the most serious being that he allegedly took thousands in unreported gifts from Chang in exchange for helping his former friend and fund-raiser pocket millions of dollars in two business deals in Korea. That Torricelli tried to help Chang is undisputed. He wrote to the North Korean United Nations ambassador on behalf of Chang in one case and traveled with Chang to South Korea to put pressure on officials in a second case, prompting U.S. diplomats to apologize to the South Koreans for the senator's behavior. Earlier this spring, the feds searched Torricelli's home in Englewood looking for the alleged gifts from Chang. The search appears to have been done with Torricelli's consent - given that his lawyer, Wells, was present - and it's unclear what turned up. White's office refused to comment on the case. Chang, who pleaded guilty to giving the senator $53,700 in illegal contributions in the 1996 campaign, has told the feds he was basically Torricelli's personal money man for the past five years. Chang claims he handed Torricelli envelopes stuffed with thousands in cash, bought him 10 Italian suits, a big-screen TV, cufflinks from Tiffany's, and $600 earrings for then-girlfriend Judy Balaban, a former fashion model. Chang also put down several thousand dollars on a Mercedes, but Torricelli said he put a stop to Chang's attempt to buy the car for him when he found out about it from the dealer, and Torricelli paid for the car himself. Each bribery conviction carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison and disqualification from serving in public office. Torricelli has repeatedly claimed he didn't break any laws. But his defense that he took no illegal gifts from Chang could be seen as a toehold onto a strategy that Chang was his personal friend and therefore not covered by the strict rules that apply to senators accepting gifts. But even if he claimed Chang was a personal friend, the rules state that Torricelli would have been required to get permission from the Senate Ethics Committee to take a gift worth more than $250 - and still would have had to report it. Torricelli didn't record gifts from Chang on the personal financial-disclosure statements he signed and filed with the Senate. Lying on the forms carries a penalty of five years in jail under the federal false statements law. Further complicating that defense, Torricelli and his lawyers have blasted Chang as a pathological liar with zero credibility. But the probe, involving dozens of investigators and prosecutors out of New Jersey and the Justice Department's public-integrity section, has only intensified and expanded. The feds recently seized records from the Bergen County Democratic Party to determine whether it essentially was used by Torricelli as a slush fund in the 1996 campaign - taking money from contributors who were maxed out and couldn't give any more directly to Torricelli, and in turn paying Torricelli's campaign expenses. Besides Chang, others have said they funneled money to Torricelli through conduits. Just last week, New Jersey

One explanation for the omission was that such an announcement might be seen as an Israeli admission that Israel was responsible for the violence. His announcement did include a call for 1) an immediate cessation of violence, to be followed by 2) a significant cooling-off period (aides said afterwards that it would be eight weeks), 3) the implementation of confidence-building measures (such as a freeze in Yesha construction and the arrest of terrorists by the PA/PLO), and 4) the resumption of political negotiations. In accordance with Prime Minister Sharon's decision, Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer has issued a stop fire order, canceled all initiated army actions, and given the order to open fire only in life-threatening situations. Leading Palestinian Authority [PA/PLO] officials, however, have already rejected the idea. A spokesman told Army Radio that the PA/PLO will not accept Sharon's outstretched arm. Despite this week's violence, Sharon has no intention of retracting his order to the IDF to halt pre-emptive operations a senior official in his office stated. :: PA/PLO, MEANWHILE, CONTINUES WAR EFFORT: A nail-studded car bomb set by Palestinian terrorists exploded in one of central Jerusalem's main entertainment districts early Sunday [27 May], sending flames into the night sky. Three people were treated at the scene for shock and a fourth for minor injuries, police said. The powerful blast just moments after midnight could be heard miles from where it went off in an area in Jerusalem known as the Russian Compound. It was the third bomb aimed at Israeli targets in less than 72 hours. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist organization claimed responsibility early Sunday for the bombing and said it had targeted a police station to avenge the deaths of Palestinian martyrs. On Friday, Palestinian terrorists exploded a car bomb in a crowded Hadera street. Over 30 Israelis were initially reported wounded; most of them are listed in light condition. Earlier in the day, alert IDF [Israel Defense Force] soldiers at the Netzarim Junction in Gaza fired at a truck in order to stop it, and it exploded as it reached the camp's fence. They noticed a truck traveling towards them at a suspiciously high speed; it did not stop at the required place even when they fired warning shots in the air. The truck continued on, and turned towards the adjacent IDF outpost. Hamas has taken responsibility for the suicide attack, saying that it was perpetrated in sympathy with Hizb'Allah in commemoration of the first anniversary of the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. The IDF spokesman emphasized that since the Israeli decision to halt initiated actions, the Palestinians have continued incessantly with their terrorism and incitement. Further north, at the Karni Terminal, another explosive charge was detected; the area was evacuated, and no one was hurt. Less than 24 hours after Sharon declared a cease-fire, Asher Iluz, 33, of Modi'in was shot dead by Palestinians near Ariel and another man was lightly wounded Wednesday evening. :: JERUSALEM DAY CELEBRATIONS HELD: Thousands of yeshiva students, high school youth, and supporters of all ages marched to the Western Wall in Jerusalem during the course of Sunday night, in celebration of Jerusalem Day. Several dozen of them walked all the way from the Ashdod-area Kibbutz Yavneh; the walk, which has become a Yavneh tradition, took some 18 hours.

Car bombs in Jerusalem add to Israel's woes
From David Horovitz, in Jerusalem
MIDDLE EAST: Israel spent the weekend grappling with a bewildering succession of
acts of violence and tragedy - some of them inspired by Palestinian militants,
others the result of Israelis' own negligence and stupidity - and its leaders warned
of more of the same for the foreseeable future.
On Saturday afternoon, as rescue teams completed their search for survivors in the
rubble of the Versailles wedding hall in Jerusalem - which collapsed on Thursday
night with the loss of 23 lives - dozens of soccer fans were injured, two of them
seriously, in a stadium riot.
Later that night, at the very moment that various builders, engineers and owners
allegedly involved in the wedding hall disaster were being remanded into custody, a
massive car bomb exploded outside the courtroom in central Jerusalem.
The blast took place in one of the city's most popular bar and pub districts, which
was packed at the time, but nobody was injured.
The dire pattern continued yesterday. Just around the corner from Saturday's night
blast, another car bomb exploded - this one a complicated device featuring nails and
mortar shells. Some of the shells flew hundreds of ya
rds through the town centre.
Again, astonishingly, nobody was seriously hurt, although several dozen Israelis were
treated for shock and minor injuries.
Soon afterwards, Israeli officials confirmed that a West Bank settler had opened fire
on two Palestinians, injuring them both in the stomach.
Later yesterday, the exhausted Israeli emergency services were called to deal with
three forest fires, amid suspicions of arson.
Throughout the weekend, meanwhile, the victims of the wedding hall collapse were being
buried.
On the diplomatic front, the US envoy, Mr William Burns, met the Israeli Prime
Minister, Mr Ariel Sharon, and the Palestinian President, Mr Yasser Arafat, with the
upsurge in bombings and other violence at the top of his
agenda.
In my talks with [Mr] Arafat, I urged that he do everything possible to stop such
attacks, Mr Burns said. Mr Arafat may now meet the Israeli Foreign Minister, Mr
Shimon Peres, in the next day or so.
A Palestinian cabinet minister, Mr Ziad Abu Ziad, said the Palestinian Authority
regretted the loss of any and all innocent lives, and urged Israel to freeze building
at West Bank settlements. Privately, Palestinian offic
ials said that there was no way they could be blamed for blasts anywhere in Jerusalem,
where Israel insists on full sovereignty.
Responsibility for the blast on Saturday was claimed by the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, and for yesterday's bomb by Islamic Jihad. On the defensive
because of the lack of Israeli lives lost in these and several other recent
bombings, one militant spokesman claimed that Israel was hiding the dead bodies.
Mr Sharon told Mr Burns that Israeli troops would maintain their quasi-ceasefire,
but that time was running out. We are a very tolerant nation, said the Defence
Minister, Mr Benjamin Ben-Eliezer. But there is a limit to our restraint.
In Doha, Qatar, on Saturday night, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference called
for members to break ties with Israel, for the establishment of a war crimes
tribunal for Israelis, and for the deployment of an international force to protect
the Palestinians. Qatar itself, which had low-level ties with Israel, announced that
these were now being suspended.

Professor Patrick Bateson, chairman of the society's working group on genetically modified animals, launched its report with a catalogue of the benefits they could bring: cures for intractable diseases, relief from suffering for millions of patients, help for the developing world. GM chickens resistant to salmonella, GM pigs free of stomach disease, and GM cattle immune to foot and mouth could be on our plates in 10 years. While acknowledging risks that needed to be addressed, he and his colleagues argued that deep public mistrust of and lack of understanding about science must be overcome. A few days later, expert scientific advisers to the food standards agency alerted us to the possibility of dioxin contamination of milk from farms next to foot and mouth funeral pyres, constructed on the advice of yet more scientific advisers. No wonder people feel confused. In history's judgment, will those opposing genetic modification look like the poor weavers who destroyed newfangled looms in the 19th century? What if we, in our half-informed confusion and panic at every food scare, turn out to be rebels against liberating progress? In the world view of the scientific experts, people who reject unnatural agricultural interventions or mass factory processing are hopeless reactionaries. They despair of the ignorance that sees all chemicals as dangero us rather than the stuff we are made of, and that draws an imaginary division between artificial and natural. We share about 30% of our genes with a banana, after all, as another member of the GM working party, Professor Ian McConnell, said. Dioxins in milk are diluted to parts per billion before they get to us, so what's the worry? But when Prof McConnell is quoted as saying that everything will be tested to see if these animals are safe to eat before they get to the marketplace, it's time to draw up a neo-Luddite charter. Britain has just recorded its 100th victim of CJD, the human form of mad cow disease. We no longer trust experts who say they can fully anticipate the consequences of accelerated change to natural patterns, or that our ex posure is so limited the risks are too small to bother with. In many fields, where there are uncertainties about the extent or nature of hazards, the idea of a precautionary principle has become common currency. But with the food supply chain it is still struggling to be recognised , as Dr Tim Lobstein points out in the latest consumer policy review. Moreover, technology is not neutral: its advances reflect the economic systems that create them. And it is legitimate to ask, for whose benefit are these advances? If GM technology concentrates power over food production in the hands of those developing it, we are right to ask whether we really need it. The pyres were needed to cure an economic disease in an agriculture which requires maximum yields. Processes that accelerate change in living organisms beyond previous experience should be treated with suspicion. It may be 30 years before the effect of our experimenting becomes known. You need look no further for confi rmation of this than an astonishing piece of research on liver cancer published last week in the leading medical journal, Gut. The authors, led by Dr Simon Taylor-Robinson from Imperial College school of medicine in London, reported a 15-fold increase between 1968 and 1996 in the incidence of a previously rare form of liver cancer: cancer of the bile duct. The liver detoxifies the blood and the toxins that are removed hit the bile duct. The emergence of this sort of cancer is therefore unusually precise evidence of toxicological damage. The authors, respectable and cautious scientists, are investigating what the causes could be and although they have some prime suspects in their sights, they are all too aware of the dangers of creating alarm by premature speculation. But we consumers may quite reasonably decide we cannot wait. The incubation period for the cancer points to some profound change in the past 30-40 years: the industrialisation of farming and with it the use of nitrates; the mass processing of food dependent on additives, in particu lar preservatives; and the rise in persistent fat-soluble pollutants, especially organo-chlorines (from plastics and pesticides) and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls, from the fluids used in electrical transformers). These are the lines of inquiry Taylor-Robinson and his colleagues want to pursue. The figures they have on
[CTRL] Omega Base
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/ CALCULATED U.S. DECEPTION ON OMEGA BASE By Joe Vialls The 450 metre tall Omega mast at Darriman, Victoria, is perhaps the largest US top secret military project hidden in the open, carefully disguised as a vaguely inaccurate navigation transmitter dedicated to the worthy cause of maritime emergency services. In reality Omega is an extremely accurate, strategic navigation system emitting an electromagnetic field so powerful it poses a health threat to Australian citizens in Victoria and beyond. The introduction of Omega to Australia took the US government 13 years to complete. The Victorian transmitter was the last of eight worldwide stations to begin transmitting during late 1982. US strategy was to deceive the Australian government and people alike with disinformation aimed at proving the Omega system was not accurate enough to be used as an aid to nuclear ballistic missile submarines. The implication was obvious: if the system was not accurate enough for ballistic submarine use, then what were people making such a fuss about? The strategy worked, and opposition to the Omega network died down from strident calls to stop construction during the 1970s to muted, puzzled acceptance in the late 1980s. The deception that Omega was simply too inaccurate for use by US forces was pivotal in allowing the Victorian station to start transmitting. The US declared Omega was accurate only to one or two kilometres, then proceeded to encourage the sale of small (inaccurate) Omega navigation receivers to fishing and pleasure boats alike. True to US declarations, these "single frequency" receivers provided a fix accurate only to within one or two kilometres. Hundreds of Australian mariners confirmed the distorted US claim of limited accuracy. In order to obtain a navigation fix from a "hyperbolic" system like Omega, the vessel must obtain signals from three different transmitters. For example, a vessel offshore Western Australia would receive signals from the stations located in East Gippsland, Tsushima in Japan and La Reunion in the western Indian Ocean. The calculated US illusion lay in the fact the small Omega receivers had access to only one of the five available frequencies transmitted in sequence by each of those three transmitters. This meant that an ambiguity could creep in every half wave length, or approximately 13 kilometres. For important US military aircraft, submarines and fighting ships, an entirely different receiver was provided, initially with three frequencies and then with up to five. The addition of the second frequency reduced the error to once every 38 kilometres, the third frequency to once every 115 kilometres, the fourth frequency to once every 350 kilometres and the fifth to once every 1050 kilometres. Equipped with special five-frequency receivers, US military aircraft, submarines and fighting ships can therefore plot their positions with a theoretical accuracy of one metre. For the US government, the only remaining task was reinforcing public opinion that Omega really was a bit of a $50 million overkill entirely unsuited for strategic use. The answer was simple: hide the facility in the open, pat visitors indulgently on the head and hand out bumper stickers. Such techniques, normally referred to as "reverse security", have been common in Europe for years, where population density is so high that most installations cannot be surrounded night and day by packs of ravenous killer dogs and guards armed with submachine guns. Advantages Why should the US go to such lengths to install the transmitter at all? At first glance, it seems that satellites of the GPS variety would be perfectly adequate for all military usage. Radio signals from position-fixing satellites cannot penetrate the surface of the water, so ballistic missile submarines in particular need to surface in order to receive signals. By comparison, the Omega signals penetrate not only water but also sea ice to at least 15 metres, making the very risky business of surfacing completely unnecessary. Perhaps more importantly, during a thermonuclear war all transistorised circuits in the navigation satellites would be burned out by electromagnetic pulses emitted by thermonuclear weapons exploding in the stratosphere, rendering the satellites utterly useless. The very low frequency (VLF) transmissions of Omega would be almost completely unaffected by the holocaust and a retaliatory strike from the Southern Ocean using US Trident D5 missiles with a range of more than 7000 nautical miles could easily be achieved. Thus Australia would be dragged unwillingly into a northern hemisphere superpower thermonuclear war. As a critical command, control and communications (C3) facility for the US nuclear ballistic submarine fleet, the Omega station in Victoria is undoubtedly targeted by at least two Russian multi-megaton warheads riding on independently launched missiles.

-Caveat Lector- See comment near the end concerning energy costs, shortages. ~Amelia~ TWM -- -- Tom Bearden Talks About Weaponry [Abridged] The Zoh Show One of the greatest man-induced dangers... is the development of electromagnetic frequencies to be used as wave warfare. In April of 1997 Secretary of Defense William Cohen admitted he was concerned about threats of terrorism with weapons that can cause earthquakes and trigger volcanoes. Over the years we have shared with our audiences many different approaches to the subject of quantum mechanics, the work of Nikola Tesla, the concerns about ELF wave warfare, mind control, and other technological nightmares predicted by the misuse of these technologies. Investigators and researchers in these areas often refuse to speak publicly about their work, and usually Ltc. Tom Bearden is one of them. When asked, Bearden typically declines to share his knowledge about our government's involvement in behavioral weaponry, lecturing instead on the many other facets in his amazing repertoire. Indeed, there are other lecturers speaking publicly about behavioral weaponry, but often they are sent by the government to assure the public this stuff doesn't go on. But on May 16, 1997, however, Tom Bearden kept his promise, and agreed to be a guest on The Zoh Show and tell her audience what he knows about electromagnetic weaponry... he has discontinued public speaking about his knowledge, until this date, twenty years later, on May 16, 1997 when he joined The Zoh Show to help promote the New Energy Conference of May 1997, and fulfill his twenty year old promise. -- -- Zoh asked Tom to give his own rendition of his biography. SCIENCE NEEDS TO CONSIDER HUMAN-NESS One of the things that I wanted to see was a science that was more humane, that considered human beings as well as materialism. Fortunately, quantum mechanics destroyed materialism about sixty-something years ago but unfortunately it hasn't fallen down yet. It's dead but it's not toppled over, and unfortunately most of our scientists are still materialists, meaning they believe that the brain is where all the action is. In their belief, he says, there's no such thing as an independent mind or independent spirit or anything. Tom is reluctant to discuss our military's involvement in electromagnetic warfare because he doesn't want to be gagged ELECTRONIC WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT In general, however, Tom will say, Most of our attention in the west has been focused on what we call Directed Energy Weapons, where we actually just bang the energy out in the normal fashion, and we try to get lots of it out there, ... That's basically what kinds of weapons, the west at least, overtly anyway, has been working on. In the KGB laboratories, the cream of the non-linear scientists of the whole world are the Russian scientists, always have been. Those folks worked on this other stuff and they were working on it shortly after the end of World War II. In 1947 they were working on it like mad and so by 1950 they were testing prototype laboratory weapons. Particularly by the latter 50s they actually had pretty good solid weapons systems and prototype coming along. The first large strategic weapons that they deployed, the real big monsters were deployed in early 1963 The reason for the Cuban missile crisis was: in backing Castro the Russians wanted to change the whole balance of power and stick in nuclear weapons, but they also knew they had these super weapons coming along. Kruschev had spoken of those in 1960. Part of that was printed in the New York Times... What [Kruschev] did was he just sort of jumped the gun, because his big stuff was not deployed yet, and when Kennedy called his bluff in 1962 he didn't have the big guns behind him and his missiles were in woeful shape... Then he vowed revenge. When those things were deployed, of course, he had lost face seriously before the whole world and particularly before the Communist party. So Kruschev's days were numbered shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was desperate to try and stay in power. DRAMATIC TEST OF WEAPONRY ...1962 was the Cuban Missile Crisis, as soon as those things got deployed a few months later, in April 1963, he did a tremendous dramatic test of the weaponry. First he killed the U.S.S. Thresher underneath the ocean off the coast of the U.S., left signatures a mile wide. The next day he placed an underwater burst of this energy, gigantic burst 100 miles north of Puerto Rico, one of the deepest parts of the oceans and we had a passing jet airliner which happened to see the surface of the ocean ball up and rise up about 1/2 a mile high in a mushroom cloud and fall back into the ocean, the symptoms of an underwater nuclear burst if you don't vent the gas bubble... the thing is he did get his revenge and he

This, of course, was at the time he was participating in protests against the United States military while he was on foreign soil in England. Hillary Clinton has also never concealed her own similar sentiments. But it may come as something of a shock to New Yorkers to learn that their new junior senator recently dished out her by-now-familiar rude treatment to a group of Gold Star Mothers. Former Congressman Dan Frisa, NewsMax opinion columnist, reports that John Behan, who headed the N.Y. Division of Veteran Affairs and himself a double-amputee Marine Corps combat veteran of Vietnam, recently attended a gathering of New York State Gold Star Mothers who recounted the outright shabby treatment shown them by the former First Lady. The Gold Star Mothers is an organization of women who sons were killed in combat during service in the United States armed forces. Begun following World War I, the name of the group is derived from the gold stars that were placed over blue stars on military service banners, displayed in the windows of homes with family members serving during wartime, when word was received that a loved one was killed in action. New York chapter president Shirley Jones and member Mary Wheeler, both of upstate New York, told Behan they had been in Washington visiting Senate offices. The only office that refused to meet with the New York Gold Star Mothers was none other than New York Senator Hillary Clinton. She and her staff simply refused to meet with them. The group then sent a letter to Clinton's office requesting a meeting with the senator to discuss issues of concern to the Gold Star Mothers. When they received a rather dismissive reply, they sent another request, only to be rebuffed once again. Both women and their membership, needless to say, were shocked at such treatment at the hands of one of the state's highest elected official. Those who have followed her sleazy career, oversized ego, and the utter contempt she displays toward average Americans probably would expect as much from Slick Hilly. But who would have guessed that even she would disrespect and dishonor these women who lost their sons to the cause of freedom in service to the nation, the very same souls whose heroism and sacred memory we honor on Memorial Day? *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] Up to $300 Refund for Singles, $600 for Couples in Final Tax Bill
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Up to $300 Refund for Singles, $600 for Couples in Final Tax Bill Friday, May 25, 2001 Email this Article WASHINGTON â House and Senate negotiators reached a final agreement Friday night on a 10-year, $1.35 trillion tax cut package that would give individual taxpayers a refund of up to $300 this year and married couples up to $600. In a statement, President Bush said the agreement means American taxpayers will have more money in their pockets to save and invest and the economy will receive a well-deserved shot in the arm. Tax relief is the centerpiece of our American agenda and I look foward to signing it into law. A blend of Bush's tax proposals and earlier versions passed separately by the House and Senate, the compromise carves out a new 10 percent bottom tax rate for the first $6,000 of an individual's income, $12,000 for a married couple. Most other rates would be cut by 3 percentage points. The top 39.6 percent rate would drop to 35 percent. The rate cuts will be phased in over six years but the first installment will take effect this July 1. Republican leaders said they planned to reconvene the House around midnight to debate the final bill. House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, predicted the House would vote final passage on it between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Saturday. The Senate planned to reconvene later Saturday to act on it. The deal was reached by four lawmakers who met all day Friday in a second-floor Capitol room. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas of California and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley of Iowa represented the Republicans, Sens. Max Baucus of Montana and John Breaux of Louisiana represented the Democrats. Other provisions of the plan would double the $500 child tax credit gradually by 2010 and allow people to gradually increase their contributions to IRAs from $2,000 to $5,000 and to 401(k) plans from $10,500 to $15,000. The estate tax would be repealed by 2010, with exemptions rising from $675,000 now to $3.5 million over time. Individual taxpayers would get up to a $300 refund this year. Single parents would get up to $500 and married couples up to $600. Refund checks would be mailed to taxpayers, beginning in mid-summer, and some 95 million checks will be sent. Once the president signs into law this historic bipartisan agreement, the Treasury Department will begin the process of returning tax dollars as quickly as possible to those who paid them, said Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill. Total tax relief for 2001 will amount to about $55 billion, said White House chief economic adviser Lawrence Lindsey. In addition to the income tax cuts, the bill will provide relief from the marriage penalty paid by millions of two-income couples by widening the 15 percent bracket so that more of their earnings are taxed at a lower rate. It would also increase the standard deduction for married couples so it equals twice that of singles. A new maximum $5,000 deduction would be permitted for college tuition. Republicans were elated that passing a tax relief bill and hand Bush a major political victory would be accomplished before Democrats take control of the Senate. Tax relief is on the way, said Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas. The negotiations occurred against an unprecedented political backdrop: Vermont Sen. James Jeffords' switch from Republican to independent becomes official when the tax bill is passed, handing Senate control to the Democrats. With Bush calling for a final vote before Memorial Day, there was strong incentive to finish the deal. Both sides would like to get it done, said Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., who will become minority leader under the new power arrangement. Bush telephoned Thomas and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley on Friday morning, saying he wanted the bill passed before lawmakers left for the holiday. White House chief of staff Andrew Card was in and out of the negotiating room Friday, pushing the participants to reach an accord. Bush pushed for tax cuts in his campaign for the White House and since his election, but was forced by Jeffords and other moderates to accept a $250 billion reduction in his original $1.6 trillion proposal. The House passed several bills closely tracking the Bush plan, but senators added several provisions aimed at giving more tax breaks to lower- and middle-income people. Most Democrats nonetheless opposed even the smaller tax cut, arguing that it would consume far too much of the projected $5.6 trillion, 10-year budget surplus to meet other needs such as education, defense, debt reduction and Medicare prescription drug benefits. They also contended it was unfairly tilted toward the wealthy. This tax bill is as generous as any tax bill in history to the upper-income folks, said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D. New York Rep. Charles Rangel, senior Democrat on

The great English playwright and social philosopher George Bernard Shaw once remarked that all professions are conspiracies against the common folk. He meant that those who belong to elite trades - physicians, lawyers, teachers, and scientists - protect their special status by creating vocabularies that are incomprehensible to the general public. This process prevents outsiders from understanding what the profession is doing and why - and protects the insiders from close examination and criticism. Professions, in other words, build forbidding walls of technical gobbledygook over which the prying and alien eye cannot see. Unlike George Bernard Shaw, I raise no complaint against this, for I consider myself a professional teacher and appreciate technical gobbledygook as much as anyone. But I do not object if occasionally someone who does not know the secrets of my trade is allowed entry to the inner halls to express an untutored point of view. Such a person may sometimes give a refreshing opinion or, even better, see something in a way that the professionals have overlooked. I believe I have been invited to speak at this conference for just such a purpose. I do not know very much more about computer technology than the average person - which isn't very much. I have little understanding of what excites a computer programmer or scientist, and in examining the descriptions of the presentations at this conference, I found each one more mysterious than the next. So, I clearly qualify as an outsider. But I think that what you want here is not merely an outsider but an outsider who has a point of view that might be useful to the insiders. And that is why I accepted the invitation to speak. I believe I know somethin g about what technologies do to culture, and I know even more about what technologies undo in a culture. In fact, I might say, at the start, that what a technology undoes is a subject that computer experts apparently k now very little about. I have heard many experts in computer technology speak about the advantages that computers will bring. With one exception - namely, Joseph - I have never heard anyone speak seriously and compre hensively about the disadvantages of computer technology, which strikes me as odd, and makes me wonder if the profession is hiding something important. That is to say, what seems to be lacking among computer experts is a sense of technological modesty. After all, anyone who has studied the history of technology knows that technological change is always a Faustian bargain: Technology giveth and technology taketh away, and not always in equal measure. A new technology sometimes creates more than it destroys. Sometimes, it destroys more than it creates. But it is never one-sided. The invention of the printing press is an excellent example. Printing fostered the modern idea of individuality but it destroyed the medieval sense of community and social integration. Printing created prose but made poetry into an exotic and elitist form of expression. Printing made modern science possible but transformed religious sensibility into an exercise in superstition. Printing assisted in the growth of the nation-state but, in so doing, made patriotism into a sordid if not a murderous emotion. Another way of saying this is that a new technology tends to favor some groups of people and harms other groups. School teachers, for example, will, in the long run, probably be made obsolete by television, as blacksmi ths were made obsolete by the automobile, as balladeers were made obsolete by the printing press. Technological change, in other words, always results in winners and losers. In the case of computer technology, there can be no disputing that the computer has increased the power of large-scale organizations like military establishments or airline companies or banks or tax collecting agencies . And it is equally clear that the computer is now indispensable to high- level researchers in physics and other natural sciences. But to what extent has computer technology been an advantage to the masses of people? T o steel workers, vegetable store owners, teachers, automobile mechanics, musicians, bakers, brick layers, dentists and most of the rest into whose lives the computer now intrudes? These people have had their private ma tters made more accessible to powerful institutions. They are more easily tracked and
[CTRL] Feds Want to Abet Illegal Aliens
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Feds Want to Abet Illegal Aliens NewsMax.com Wires Saturday, May 26, 2001 YUMA, Ariz. (UPI) - Because of the deaths of 14 illegal aliens this week in the Arizona desert, U.S. and Mexican officials were scheduled to meet next month to discuss ways to make it safer for criminals to enter the United States. The Mexican Embassy in Washington said Friday that delegations from both nations would meet in San Antonio, Texas, June 6-8 as part of a high-level working group established earlier by President Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox. We are committed to ensuring a safe and orderly border, and both governments reaffirm their commitment to spare no effort in combating the trafficking of migrants along the border, the embassy said in a statement. These deaths highlight the pressing need for our governments to continue their work to reach new agreements on migration and border safety. The United States increased its efforts to stop illegal aliens in the mid-1990s; however, the stepped-up security around urban areas such as San Diego resulted in a higher number of criminals attempting the more dangerous crossing through remote desert and mountain areas with the help of unscrupulous guides known as coyotes. A coyote who was leading a party of Mexicans into Arizona this week allegedly ditched the group and left them to their own devices with only a small amount of water and food. He had reportedly told the group that they were only one mile from the highway while they were actually some 30 miles away. Mexico has repeatedly called upon the United States to liberalize its entry policies and do more to keep aliens out of harm's way, despite their criminal status. The Border Patrol has in recent years improved its agents' emergency medical training and has focused more resources on monitoring the movement of people in treacherous areas. Bush Apologizes for Aliens' Deaths The White House said Bush called Fox on Friday to officially express the deep sadness and condolences of the United States over the deaths this week in a sun-baked area near San Cristobal Valley nicknamed El Camino del Diablo, or The Devil's Path, by illegal aliens. Border Patrol officials said that a smuggler apparently abandoned a group of 28 Mexicans as they struggled through the rugged terrain in temperatures that topped 110 degrees. The group was unable to make it to a distant highway, and 14 died before they were found Wednesday by the Border Patrol. The presidents reaffirmed the importance of our ongoing efforts on border safety and migration, to ensure that tragic events such as this do not happen again, the White House said in a statement. The Arizona Republic reported Friday that Mexican authorities had identified the alleged smuggler and were searching for a man who lived in a border village and was nicknamed El Negro. It was not clear if El Negro was the guide who abandoned the illegal aliens. Roberto Rodriguez, director general of consular affairs and protection for the Mexican Foreign Affairs Office, told the Republic that the smugglers were part of a major ring of human traffickers, and could face extradition to the United States, if arrested. The full weight of the law will be applied, Rodriguez promised. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
