These guys weren't wearing ratty T-shirts, blue jeans, backward baseball caps and nose rings. They weren't in drag. No, they were wearing Marine uniforms--dress blues, no less. "Pfc. David Hobbs and Pvt. Josh Beam had enlisted in the Marines, gone to San Diego for three months of basic training and returned to graduate with their class in Elkhart. They might as well not have bothered: 'Hobbs said he was pulled aside by school officials and given a choice on his attire. 'They said I either had to take my (jacket) off and put on a shirt and tie o r put a tie on my military uniform.' Hobbs said he told school officials that neither one would be possible because military personnel can neither wear an incomplete uniform or add anything to it that is not part of the uniform. 'I told him several times that I was going to wear the cap and gown,' he said. It was at that time Hobbs said he and Beam were asked to leave and escorted out of the Joyce Center.'" - Best of the Web, 6/11/01 Interested in Constitutional Issues?

In handing down the sentence, federal judge James Ware rejected defense attorney Jennifer Granick's argument that the Air Force, and other victims of the worm, improperly calculated their financial losses from the hack. The judge also declined to give Butler credit for his brief stint as an undercover FBI informant, during which he infiltrated a gang of hackers that had penetrated 3Com's corporate phone network. But the judge refused prosecutor Ross Nadel's request that Butler be immediately taken into custody in the courtroom, and allowed the hacker to remain free on bail until June 25th, when he's scheduled to report to prison. With credit for good behavior, Butler will be eligible for assignment to a community halfway house as early as April of next year, and will be released in mid-October 2002. He'll then serve three years of supervised release during which, under a special order, Butler will be barred from accessing the Internet without permission of his probation officer. Ware also ordered Butler to pay $60,000 in restitution. A consultant who specializes in performing penetration tests on corporate networks, the 28-year-old remained well regarded in computer security circles even after his March, 2000 indictment. Butler is known for his expertise in intrusion detection: the science of automatically analyzing Internet traffic for "signatures" indicative of an attack, and he created arachnids, a popular open source catalog of attack signatures that forms part of an overall public resource at WhiteHats.com Butler, known as "Max Vision" to friends and associates, crossed the line in June of 1998, at a time when much of the Internet was still vulnerable to a hole that had been discovered months earlier in a ubiquitous piece of software called the BIND "named" domain server. The hacker group ADM published a computer program capable of spreading through vulnerable systems automatically. Butler launched a special strain of the worm that penetrated systems, but also automatically closed the BIND hole as it spread, forestalling attacks from other hackers. Tall and soft-spoken, wearing a blazer and rumpled cargo pants, the hacker apologetically told Judge Ware that he got caught up in the need to close a serious security hole. "I got swept up," said Butler. "It's hard to explain the feelings of someone who's gotten caught up in the computer security field... I felt at the time that I was in a race. That if I went in and closed the holes quickly, I could do it before people with more malicious intentions could use them." Butler did not address why he left malevolent features from the ADM worm in his own program, including one that created a secret back door on every system it penetrated. "What I did was reprehensible," Butler told the court. "I've hurt my reputation in the computer security field. I've hurt my family and friends." Judge Ware emphasized the need to deter other hackers. "There's a need for those who would follow your footsteps to know that this can result in incarceration," said Ware. === Brave new babies http://www.newscientist.com/newsletter/news.jsp?id=ns229228 An automated IVF chip could lead to production-line embryos by Anil Ananthaswamy From New Scientist magazine, 26 May 2001.

Manner stated that he was not aware that he is about to be charged with attempted vehicular manslaughter. "I didn't want to be stopped by those 'folks' and I had no intention of bodily harm", said Manner. He also said that he "slowed down" when he saw the crowd at the restricted boundary line. But, according to eye-witnesses, instead of slowing down, Manner was alleged to have stepped on the gas pedal to 50 to 60 miles per hour as he began to see the crowd and did not honk at all. Manner also today admitted that he works for the D.O.E. However, he did not mention that he was on his way to work at Groom Lake, even though he sped past the boundary line towards Groom Lake (Area 51) base.

[CTRL] Sharon War Criminal: Stupid gullible Liberals and Palestinian propaganda. 2/2
-Caveat Lector- "From Israel To Damascus The painful road of Blood, Betrayal and Deception" By Robert M. Hatem http://www.israeltodamascus.com/ [ end of chapter 7 ] On Tuesday September 14, 1982, at precisely 4:10 P.M, an explosion destroyed the three-story building that housed the main East Beirut branch of the Kataeb Party. Bashir Gemayel was inside the building for one last meeting with the party members and supporters. Bashir, the 34-year-old president-elect, nine days before he was due to take office for his six-year term, had grown careless in the prevalent euphoria of his newly acquired power and position. Oversight on Bashir Gemayels part and his new antagonism towards the Israelis, allowed his enemies to successfully attack and kill him. Bashir was careless. The Special Security Unit conducted by Elie Wazzen, alias «Abbas», who coordinated with H.K supplied Wazzen with information. Elie Wazzen profited during the year he commanded the unit, because he orchestrated all arms deals. The least he could do was to take good care of his «master» when the need arose! The explosion was reported a few minutes after it took place. Elie Hobeika dispatched me to inspect the premises. I was accompanied by the Israeli Liaison officer called «Mandy». As we struggled through the rubble, we saw bits of arms, legs, heads and shoulders strewn among the collapsed pillars. A gray-black cloud of dust and smoke billowed through the neighborhood. The street in front of the collapsed building was crammed with hysterical people crying and bellowing. Sheikh Bashirs wife, Solange, arrived a few minutes after us. Karim Pakradouni, Gemayels close political adviser shuttled in his Range Rover between the explosion site, Rizk Hospital and Hotel Dieu before identifying the President -elects obliterated body. By 6:00 p.m., the tension had become unbearable. The rescue workers were trying to clear the rubble under arc lights. I was there with «Mandy» who could not keep from crying. A wave of hallucinations seemed to take hold of the crowd. Everybody, even the most noted international pressmen, dreamed they had seen an ambulance carrying Bashir away, an ambulance which, in fact, never existed except in their ravaged minds. Later, a helicopter flew overhead and was driven off by the random shooting. Rumors started circulating like a flash in the pan, when somebody in the panic-stricken and angry crowd shouted that it was an Israeli helicopter sent to take Bashir to a hospital in Israel. But none of this was true and we knew it. The Israelis had the confirmation of Bashirs death long before the Lebanese forces did. They had the firm certitude at 8.30 p.m. while the Lebanese Forces command waited until Gemayels body was removed at 10:00 p.m. and carried by a Red Cross ambulance to the Hotel-Dieu. Collective hallucination mixed with mass hysteria and chaos blurred common sense. There, clamped down in front of the battered building, stood aghast rescue workers, family members, mentors, Kataeb party officials, members, supporters, friends, medical teams, military and militiamen. Instead of six years in office, Bashir, had only 23 days, but 23 days during which a myth was born. A myth that would soon become a stumbling block and an element of strife and conflict within the Christian ranks: Christian decision-makers, Lebanese forces, clans, Presidency. The assassination of Bashir Gemayel pushed his tough, ruthless and bloodthirsty lieutenants, and the Israelis into a hysterical rage and enraged them to vow vengeance. Sharon and Begin panicked. It is true that Bashir had disappointed them by turning down their peace treaty proposal, but they knew he would restore peace, law and order and shake off the Palestinian and Syrian tutelage. He was likely to bend in the end because with him they secured, at least a friendly Christian-dominated regime in Lebanon. In the meantime, Gemayels political adviser Karim Pakradouni, and the Lebanese Forces commander Fady Frem had in the meantime agreed to contain the militiamen. Shooting was prohibited. Meetings at the highest levels were held through the night. Beirut Radio, Kataeb Partys Radio Voice of Lebanon, Bashirs Radio Free Lebanon interrupted their usual programs and broadcast classical music without one single comment. The assassination of Bashir Gemayel destroyed the Christians ultimate dream. It sullied Israels honor, undermined American credibility and above all, ushered to an era of bloody inter-Christian feuds, treason and battles that led to the collapse of the power of the Lebanese Christian people who were burnt down by the leaders who took over. CHAPTER 8 On the morning of Wednesday, September 15, 1982, the Lebanese forces met at the Gemayel house in Bickfaya. The house was crammed with mourners, and the attendees decided to run Amin, Bashirs brother, for the president. While all of Lebanons religious, political, military and civilian leaders an

AIDS misery in Zimbabwe mirrors Africa's plight By Cris Chinaka NYIKA, Zimbabwe, June 22 (Reuters) - While the world's political elite meets in New York this month to plan the war against the AIDS epidemic, the people of Nyika village in Zimbabwe will be burying more of their dead. Nyika epitomises the total devastation and human misery brought on by HIV-AIDS affecting a staggering 25 million people across Africa, the epicentre of the global AIDS catastrophe. Even if the U.N. General Assembly agrees a battle-plan at its first AIDS summit meeting starting on June 25, it will be too late for most of the people in Nyika. Agnes Moyondizvo, a 72-year-old grandmother, cannot remember the last time a week passed in this southern African village without a funeral or a death because of AIDS. "Sometimes I have this feeling that God has abandoned us, and that this is the way we are all going to perish...At the rate at which this disease is killing us, I don't think there will be any survivors here in two years' time," Moyondizvo said. She has already buried two of her own eight children and three grandchildren in the past three years. In the five days before she spoke to this correspondent, five more people died in her tiny village of 40 families, all of them linked to HIV-AIDS. "We still mourn our beloved but very few people shed any tears. Maybe it's because people have cried so much that they don't have tears anymore," she said. The village cemetery is marked with fresh graves. Loved ones lie beneath freshly dug mounds of earth at family homesteads. Nyika, some 350 km (220 miles) southeast of the capital Harare, has become home to scores of AIDS orphans and many of the village's small farm plots are lying idle because of a lack of healthy adult workers. More and more villagers are queuing for meagre and scarce aid from the cash-strapped government, according to Moyondizvo. U.N. TO TACKLE AFRICAN MISERY The misery in Nyika is repeated through Zimbabwe and the entire African continent where the vast majority of sufferers cannot get access to proper drugs or adequate health facilities to help treat their condition. The United Nations meeting aims to lay the basis for a broad multi-billion dollar strategy to tackle AIDS worldwide. A plan to rescue Africa from its AIDS crisis is vital to get drugs to where they are desperately needed and to build a health infrastructure able to deal with this unprecedented calamity. Africa is home to more than 25 million people living with HIV-AIDS. Only a tiny minority can afford drugs which prolong life or which treat diseases linked to AIDS. Most are condemned to die in abject conditions, many ostracised by their own communities. Four of the five countries most hurt by AIDS are in Africa, led by South Africa which has more AIDS sufferers than anywhere else, followed by Nigeria, Kenya and Ethiopia, according to U.N. estimates. In five African countries -- Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe -- at least one in five adults are HIV-positive. In the hardest hit, Botswana, people are dying at an average of 23 years earlier than they would be without AIDS. Health officials say Zimbabwe has one of the world's highest rates of AIDS cases, with more than a quarter of its 14 million people estimated to be infected with the HIV virus. AIDS is killing at least 2,000 people a week, and experts predict Zimbabwe could become the first country in the world to record zero percent population growth next year. The United Nations children's fund Unicef projects that Zimbabwe's average life expectancy would drop to 27 years within the next decade from a current 44 years and 62 years in 1990. 22:06 06-21-01 Copyright 2001 Reuters Limited.

[CTRL] Sharon War Criminal: Stupid gullible Liberals and Palestinian propaganda. 1/2
-Caveat Lector- SHARON THE WAR CRIMINAL Let's see how propaganda works. The test case can be the current attempt by pro-Palestinian groups and individuals to demonize Ariel Sharon as the butcher of Sabra and Shatilla. This has been going on for two decades, but the latest ploy is charging him with war crimes in the international court in Belgium where a Palestinian woman is bringing the charges against the Israeli head of state. This woman was raped and members of her family were brutally massacred by Christian Militiamen who hated the Palestinians for THEIR brutal occupation of Southern Lebanon and the numerous atrocities perpetrated by the great Palestinian fighters who were ultimately driven out by Sharon. Does this woman ( or even ANYBODY ELSE ) bring charges against the known rapists and killers? Of course not. There is no political advantage in doing that. Do you feel the cynicism? This should be seen as politically driven. Not only by the Palestinians (who know the truth and are using the tragedy of Sabra & Shatilla the same way they cynically use the deaths of their own children to achieve the status of super victim), but also those with specific political agenda like the BBC, as well as most of the Euro media who's economies depend on Arab oil from the Middle East, and have no particular intrest in Jews. The Palestinians have gotten to understand that their most receptive mass audience in the West are Liberals. Liberals respond to victimology as Pavlov's dogs responded to bells. They begin to salivate for the opportunity to prove to themselves and other Liberals what good people they are by sympathizing with a perceived victim while actually doing nothing of consequence. This is how the USA and Euro Globalists got a majority of their citizens to back the destruction of Yugoslavia. The aggressors, the Albanian Separatists, were presented as victims of the evil Serbs even though they were paid by the CIA and German Secret Services to start a secessionist revolt in a country which the Globalists wanted to destroy for being a non-Capitalist economy. By doing this, the West's ( war criminal ) media began a one sided exposition of the horrors of civil war. PR firms were hired to plan and manage the " victimization " of the Albanians. This worked splendidly. Gullible Liberals, were the specific target of this campaign because they are the current majorities in both the US and the EU. But being a majority does not mean that they are not shallow and stupid. NATO destroyed an old reliable ally who helped save Europe from Hitler by forcing the Germans to start Barbarosa much later than planned. The Serb rebellion tied up German armor until the Serbs were defeated and sent to concentration camps to die. They were directly responsible for Germany's late winter invasion of Russia. The Albanians ( like the Palestinians ) were Nazi allies. But the Albanians, led by the KLA, were then, and are now the biggest drug dealers in Europe. They are also the major group responsible for for the sex/slave trade of Eastern European girls. Their drug and slave base is in Kosovo. But hey! That's all OK. Why? Because they were accepted as victims. gullible - adj. easily cheated or tricked; credulous n. gullibility adv. gullibly gullible modif. Syn. innocent, trustful, simple; see naive.

In the summer of 1982 I was working as a nurse in West Beirut, which at the time was being besieged by the Israeli army. The American negotiator Philip Habib had mediated an agreement, according to which the Israeli army would refrain from occupying West Beirut after the Palestinian fedayeen guerrillas had left. A second fundamental aspect of the agreement was that the United States would guarantee the security of the remaining Palestinian civilian population. The evacuation, supervised by an international peacekeeping force, went smoothly, and was completed on September 1, much earlier than September 26, the date that had been agreed on. The international peacekeeping force left between September 10 and 13. On September 3 the first violation of the Habib agreement took place when Israeli forces occupied Bir Hassan in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Before that, Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon had stated he wanted the peacekeeping forces out of Beirut. After the assassination of Bashir Gemayel, the charismatic and ruthless leader of the Maronite Phalangist allies of Israel, Sharon ordered the invasion of West Beirut under the pretext of restoration of 'law and order'. Contrary to this statement, West Beirut was perfectly quiet at that moment.

Re: [CTRL] FW: The Rising Police State
-Caveat Lector- Very thought provoking. Since the police are more constrained by the purse strings of federal administrators they more and more become the handmaidens of the federal authorities and have no leeway to act. The more there is a war mentality, of the us against them mindset which permeates this country (the war against drugs in particular) the more this will escalate until there comes a day when we have Generals in command of our local sheriff's office. Unfortunately the article is scary in that it implies that nothing can be done to stem the tide. Is that true? On Thu, 21 June 2001, Nessie wrote: > > -Caveat Lector- > > J.A.I.L.

[CTRL] CBS- Market Manipulation In California?
http://cbsnews.cbs.com/now/story/0,1597,297834-412,00.shtml Market Manipulation? Former Power Plant Employees: Company Manipulated Power Supply Ind. System Operator Accused Power Co. Of Withholding Power Former Employees Scheduled To Testify Before The State SAN DIEGO, June 21, 2001 (CBS) After deregulation, Duke Energy bought four California power plants. The company appears to hold the record for the highest price ever charged for electricity — almost $3,900 a megawatt. Before the energy crisis the average price was only $30, reports CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales. In an exclusive interview, workers from Duke's South Bay Power Plant tell CBS News how they think Duke may have pushed up prices. "Their exact quote was they're making more money than they ever thought possible," recalled Glenn Jonson. Johnson, who was a mechanic at the South Bay plant for more than 20 years, supports what state investigators say happened across California — units were shut down unnecessarily in order to shrink the supply of electricity. "I felt I was directed at pieces of equipment that didn't need to be taken down at that particular period of time," said Johnson. Johnson also claims Duke ordered maintenance shutdowns even though he didn't have the needed parts. "Looking back at it, it would tell me they wanted the load limited," said Johnson. Asked if that meant less power would be coming out of the plant and higher prices, Johnson replied, "Correct." Ed Edwards knows why they had to wait for spare parts. A supervisor ordered him to get rid of them. "I explained to him, 'Man, that's good stuff. These are parts we can use.' And so I took a forklift and I disposed of some 23 palettes of good inventory," said Edwards. And after 22 years at the plant, he couldn't understand Duke's decision to constantly run the most expensive turbine that produced the least power. "I cant tell you (why Duke would do that). My opinion would be it had something to do with economics," said Edwards. Jimmey Olkjer is no economist, but he was an assistant control room operator at the plant. "Why do you think they ran it so much? It cost more to run so you can charge more for each megawatt," said Olkjer. Control room logs obtained by CBS News show Duke Energy Trading and Marketing (DETM) ordered power levels to quickly rise and fall — something Olkjer says never occurred before deregulation at Duke. "Well, that means to me they were manipulating the market," said Olkjer. "We stand behind our maintenance practices and have done a good job keeping the power flowing," said Duke spokesman Tom Williams. Williams says the expensive turbine met demand and environmental requirements. And as for the logs, Duke says every change in power level was ordered by the state. "The state ordered us to do make those changes," he said. The ISO or Independent System Operator, which has already accused Duke of withholding power 80 percent of the time last year, is checking its own logs and may have some answers Friday, when the plant workers are scheduled to testify before a state committee on price-fixing. "This needs to be exposed. When I look at my bill every month, having the knowledge of what's going on behind the scenes, I think it's a crime that everybody's paying the amount of money that they are," said Edwards. "It just seems to be morally wrong. There is a thing about making a fair profit and there is nothing fair about this," said Johnson.
[CTRL] USA TODAY As DoD Cyber-War Propaganda Mouthpiece
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/19884.html USA Today as DoD cyber-war propaganda mouthpiece By Thomas C Greene in Washington Posted: 21/06/2001 at 17:23 GMT Anyone seeking advanced tuition in passing off government propaganda as news ought to consult USA Today columnist Andrea Stone's recent item entitled "Cyberspace: The next battlefield" for an exhaustive master-class in exactly what not to do if one entertains hopes of pulling the wool over their readers' eyes on behalf of the State. So crude is Stone's work here that it unintentionally recommends itself for pedagogical use thus: Confluence of interest First off, it's generally wise to avoid quoting exclusively those people who maintain a vested interest in the very thesis one's 'news item' promotes. This practice tends to tip off readers to one's partiality, and should be discouraged. In Stone's case, the thesis is that evil hacking masterminds in Russia, North Korea, Iraq, Libya, Cuba, Israel and China are poised to cripple all of Christendom at any second with the click of a mouse. In support of this, Stone foolishly limits her sources to US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who likes the idea of diverting public funds to cyber defense (hey, it's not his money); Clinton Administration Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre, who made a career of terrifying anyone who would listen of an "electronic Pearl Harbor" which remains forever just around the corner; Congressional Research Service defense analyst Steven Hildreth, who needs something to analyze to keep his job; National Defense University instructor Dan Kuehl, who likewise needs something to teach; US Army Major General Dave Bryan, who needs someone to fight; and iDefense CEO James Adams, whose vast pocketbook feeds rapaciously off the hacker hysteria of all the above, and who needs your support so their budgets will continue to accommodate his ambitions. And no one else. Now, the smart way to go about persuading readers of this improbable nonsense would be to quote the relevant government apparatchiks and opportunistic defense-contracting plutocrats in such a way as to appear impartial while subtly privileging their message. This can be accomplished by interviewing a number of opponents as well, and then filtering all the quotes in a clever manner. For example, one might arrange the source material in two columns on a note pad: Column A with a series of quotes from the people one wants readers to take seriously; Column B with a series of quotes from nay-saying critics one wants dismissed out of hand. One needs only re-arrange the Column A material in descending order of rationality and the Column B material in ascending order of rationality, and then run the top three or four items from both. See how easy that is? All normal human beings naturally say both smart things and stupid things whenever they open their mouths, so you simply run the smart things said by the ones you want believed, and the stupid things said by those you don't. Malicious journalism 101 so far as we're concerned, but too advanced for Andrea Stone. Yet quite instructive. Talk the walk Whenever one resorts to technical or professional jargon in a government press release masquerading as a news item like Stone's cyberwar exposé, it's advisable to have at least a general notion of what it all means. Furthermore, in a lowbrow publication like USA Today it's desirable to include a four-color pie chart laying it all out graphically for the blockheads in the audience, whose dependable lack of imagination spares its publishers from bankruptcy; but even this level of intellectual condescension necessitates a rudimentary command of the underlying concepts. Stone errs by underestimating the intelligence of the USA Today enthusiast with technical expressions which even the slowest of wit will detect are tossed about with self-consciousness and uncertainty. A glance at her roundup of the 'tech stuff' tells us all we need to know: Analysts say the US arsenal likely includes malevolent "Trojan horse" viruses, benign-looking codes that can be inserted surreptitiously into an adversary's computer network. They include: Logic bombs. Malicious codes that can be triggered on command. Worms. Programs that reproduce themselves and cause networks to overload. Sniffers. "Eavesdropping" programs that can monitor and steal data in a network. A nice try, but it won't quite do. The explanations are about as opaque to the uninitiated as the phrases themselves. Someone hasn't done their homework, and we don't have to know what she's talking about to sense that she doesn't know what she's talking about. A quick Google session would have turned up all she'd care to know about Trojans and logic bombs and worms and sniffers, and the (sometimes subtle) distinctions among them; but apparently that's too much to ask. She would have learned, and might have mentio

Wes, based on the fact that the woman was receiving several drugs for depression including Haldol, it is interesting to note that the HAARP magnetometer indicated a large magnetic distrubance peaking at about 5:40am CDT (Local Houston Time) on the Wednesday June 20th, the morning of the murders, and an even larger magnetic disturbance on 5:05am CDT Monday June 18. (See attached images or visit HAARP Magnetometer archive): http://137.229.36.30/cgi-bin/magnetometer/gak-mag.cgi I have observed this same pattern of one or more large disturbances indicated on the same day and sometimes a few days preceeding, mass murders. It may be just a coincidence, or there be may be some connection between magnetic disturbances and/or HAARP, and violent acts committed by individuals on psychotropic medications, especially antidepressants, many of which contain fluorine. It certainly suggests the posibility that certain individuals might be targeted for mind control using HAARP, if the magnetic distrubances are caused by HAARP emissions that are being targeted toward the area in question, perhaps with cooperation of other sites (i.e. HAARP creates the reflecting dish in the ionosphere, other sites send RF signals that bounce off the ionosphere directed to the target area.)

[CTRL] Israel Legalizes Lynch Mobs
http://www3.haaretz.co.il/eng/scripts/article.asp?mador=14&datee=6/19/01& id=121972 Panel passes bill allowing inciting violence against terror suspect Ha'aretz Knesset Correspondent By Gideon Alon The Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee yesterday passed the second and third reading of a bill that includes an article that decriminalizes inciting a lynch mob to against a suspected terrorist. The article is part of a bill being prepared by the committee on incitement to violence in Israel. It generally seeks more severe punishment for such incitement, setting a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment. Justice Minister Meir Sheetrit, Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein, and State Prosecutor Edna Arbel tried to dissuade the committee's MKs from passing the bill, to no avail. Sheetrit said a bill that legalizes attacking a suspected member of a terrorist organization "is a very dangerous measure that undermines democracy and basic human rights in our country. It accomodates 'field trials' ... and even a lynching or sentencing to death by a mob that suspects someone is a terrorist." Five of the MKs supporting the bill were Shaul Yahalom (National Religious Party), Nissim Zeev (Shas), Yuval Steinitz (Likud), Yosef Lapid (Shinui) and Yael Dayan (Labor). Against it were the chairman of the committee, Ophir Pines-Paz (Labor), Nehama Ronen (Center) and Anat Maor (Meretz). Sheetrit said he intends to propose removing this article when the bill is brought to the Knesset plenum for a vote in the next few days. Sheetrit, Rubinstein and Arbel did manage to change one article in the bill making it possible to charge those suspected of inciting violence. Sheetrit said the original wording of the article prevented authorities from indicting suspects of incitement - because police had to prove "with near certainty" that the incitement would have led to an act of violence. The article was changed to "with reasonable possibility.
[CTRL] FW: The Rising Police State
-Caveat Lector- J.A.I.L. News Journal Los Angeles, California June 20, 2001 The Rising Police State Former Cop - "Law Enforcement Is The Police State's Servant" >From J.D. Tuccille c. 2001 About.com 6-15-1 Several months ago, I penned a column called "Cops who say 'no'" that turned out to be one of the more thoroughly hashed-over pieces that I've churned out. As happens when I have lots of white space to fill, I waxed philosophic and evoked my inner literary self even quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson on the way to making a simple point. I suggested that in an age of proliferating laws that micromanage our lives and that involve ever-scarier law-enforcement powers, police officers have an obligation to consider the morality of the laws they enforce, and to refuse to enforce laws that have no business on the books. It's nice to be noticed, and my e-mail soon demonstrated that people have been paying attention. Messages pro and con streamed in, with a preponderance of readers saying that they agreed with the point I was making. Dissenters tended to use stronger language, leaving me only one possible response: My mother is not! - or not so that you can prove, anyway. Among the more interesting messages was a note from a retired police officer (I've checked his credentials) who served with a major urban-area law-enforcement agency, and so has more first-hand familiarity with modern policing than I hope to ever have. This former officer, who asked me not to use his name so that he gets no more grief at reunion picnics than necessary, suggested that my heart might be in the right place, but I just don't understand the depths of the problem. Rather than paraphrase what the one-time police officer said so well, I reproduce his note below... ___ I was a police officer for many years and am now retired. It is apparent to me that you suffer a few misunderstandings of the police officer's job. However, that is not to say that you aren't right. There are many laws that are stupid, wrong, unconstitutional, feel-good (hate crimes come to mind) and silly. Each police officer is given discretionary decision-making power. That means that barring the commission of six particular crimes (Burglary, Arson, Rape, Robbery, Murder and Mayhem) a police officer may decide for him or herself whether to arrest, report, release in the field, or simply to do nothing. For decades, I nullified bad laws (e.g., concealed carry of a weapon by honest citizens, gambling and prostitution) and so did many other officers. We did it because we had the power to and it was the right thing to do. Before you suggest how to correct modern day law enforcement, I suggest you first review the reason modern local law enforcement is becoming the police state's handmaiden. It is simple: Federal influence. Since the Nixon / Mitchell Administration, federal funds, training, hiring standards and procedures have penetrated into local law enforcement in an insidious manner. Training is of the siege mentality type, fear is inculcated in training, and the belief that no one needs a firearm but the police is encouraged and fostered. Waco was made possible by a perjured affidavit swearing that a drug lab was on the premises. They lied and got the army to help under Titles 26 and 32, USC. These are the same people who have been training local law enforcement for decades. Until we can remove the federal influence in local law enforcement, it will just get worse. Hell, it may not even be reversible. I respect your intentions, but there is a hell of a lot you don't know about how bad it has gotten in local law enforcement. Many of these kids have never read the Constitution, nor have they been required to. They also have a natural antipathy towards armed citizens as a result of brainwashing in primary and secondary school. Many are also unrestrained and unfamiliar with self-discipline. This can be fatal if not harmful to an innocent who is doing nothing more than lawfully owning a firearm. The job is one of the safest there is statistically, and I am sick of police administrators, in their effort to build empire, lying about being "outgunned." They pander to federal anti-constitutionalists by crying for more gun laws, but no mention of severe treatment for violent criminals. No one is in law enforcement by way of impressment or the draft. They are all volunteers and if anyone is in fear of armed citizens and not armed criminals, they should get another job, perhaps a milk route. I wouldn't recommend the U.S. Postal Service, though. Local police are in danger of ceasing to be responsible at all to their local community and taxpayers. ___ The note is disturbing because it reflects concerns that I've heard before, but says that the problem is much more advanced than I've suspected. Two years ago, The Cato Institute came out with a report that made a splash at the

But the city of Santa Cruz has told residents of the serene but illegal campground along an oak-shaded bank of the San Lorenzo River that they must pack up by July1 or face eviction and possible arrest. The riverbank is no place for homeless people because they're damaging the fragile habitat, city officials say.

[CTRL] potential bubonic plague exposure
US health officials keeping an eye on potential bubonic plague exposure DENVER, Colorado, June 20 (AFP) - Colorado health officials are carefully examining reports of possible human exposure to bubonic plague that has killed a sizable portion of a nearby prairie dog colony. While health officials have confirmed the prairie dogs do carry the deadly but treatable disease, they are unsure if colony neighbors -- including a unidentified man who died of plague-like symptoms Monday -- have contracted the disease, said Tisha Dowe, director of the El Paso County Department of Health and Environment. "Right now, we're out checking other prairie dog colonies, too," Dowe said. "In the meantime, I've alerted doctors in the area to watch for symptoms just in case." As a precaution, the humans are being treated with antibiotics while health officials investigate whether there is a connection with the rodents, Dowe said. The county began spraying the colony to kill infected fleas which transmit the disease to humans. Health officials were alerted to the incident after a number of the rodents were found dead in the past week. Bubonic plague, which killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe in the 14th century, is a disease carried by rodents that is normally transmitted to humans through bites from infected fleas, said John Pape, a Colorado Department of Health and Environment epidemiologist who specializes in animal-borne illnesses. The plague produces flu-like symptoms, including high fever, chills, headaches, severe fatigue, vomiting and tender or swollen lymph glands that appear two days to a week after exposure, Pape said. "This is not the kind of flu that, when you get it, you wonder if you should go to the doctor," Pape said. "When you get it, you know it. It hits you that hard." While the threat of a widespread epidemic is minimal, Pape and other health officials have issued warnings alerting the public and their pets to stay away from the rodents. Pets, more likely to pick up the unwanted fleas as passengers, have transmitted the disease to more than half of the humans reported to have contracted the disease, Pape said. "We get reports of rodent die-offs every year throughout the west, but it rarely makes the jump to humans," Pape said, "The last time a human contracted it from another human in the United States was in 1924. Unlike 14th-century Europe, we don't have infected rats in our homes." Earlier this month, Colorado health officials confirmed other cases of plagued animals in the southern city of Pueblo and the Denver metropolitan area, but no human victims were reported. Last year, one human was treated for the disease on the state's Western Slope. The last confirmed bubonic plague death in the state was in 1999, one of three human cases in the state that year, Pape said.

[CTRL] If you believe embryos are humans...
-Caveat Lector- If you believe embryos are humans... ...then curbing research on stem cells is an odd place to start protecting them By Michael Kinsley http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/time/2001/06/25/embryos.html June 18, 2001 Posted: 3:41 p.m. EDT (1941 GMT) President Bush is said to be hoping for a compromise on whether to allow federally funded medical research on cells from human embryos. Compromise is a worthy goal. But on this issue, the notion of compromise is an odd one for a couple of reasons. First, the Clinton Administration's rules that Bush has suspended while he searches for a compromise are themselves a compromise. They forbid federally funded researchers to destroy human embryos, but they allow the use of stem cells from embryos destroyed by others. What Bush wants is a compromise of a compromise. Second, the argument for banning this research depends on absolutism. It's not just that people who oppose research using embryos feel strongly about it. It's that the entire logic of their case makes it hard to give them anything they would value as half a loaf. To justify standing in the way of cures for some of humanity's most dreaded diseases, you have to accept the right-to-life argument in its most extreme form. We're talking here about newly formed embryos. These are not fetuses with tiny, waving hands and feet. These are microscopic groupings of a few differentiated cells. There is nothing human about them, except potential--and, if you choose to believe it, a soul. Moreover, under the rules Bush is blocking, stem-cell research would not actually take the life of a single embryo. Researchers would use embryos that are being discarded anyway. To anyone who actually believes that new embryos are just as human as you or me, this last point is like saying, "Well, the Holocaust is going on anyway, so we might as well turn a few dead Jews into lampshades." Accommodating to evil is evil. But if this is your line, you had better really, really believe that discarding embryos is just like gassing Jews. That's because if you get your way, then real, fully formed people will suffer and die for your abstract point of principle. In fact, real people will suffer and die as a result of any compromise that partly accommodates your abstract principle. For that matter, real people will suffer and die because of the months every breakthrough has been delayed while Bush looks for a compromise. And because of Clinton's compromise. And because of all the years federal stem-cell research was banned before that. Even if the recently discovered adult stem cells turn out to be almost as good as embryonic ones, which many politicians are hoping will spare them a tough decision, that "almost" will lead to unnecessary suffering and death if adult cells become an excuse to restrict embryonic ones. So, if that's what you think justice for embryos requires, you had better be sure you're right. Are we really going to start basing social policy on the assumption that a few embryonic cells equal a human being? If so, restricting research on discarded embryos is an odd place to start. Why not restrict fertility clinics, which routinely produce more embryos than they need and destroy the surplus? To pursue the gruesome Holocaust analogy, it's like outlawing the lampshades while ignoring the gas chambers. And yet President Bush is not searching for compromise on the issue of fertility clinics because there is no such issue. The Roman Catholic Church and others are publicly opposed to high-tech fertilization techniques, but they are not beating the drum about it. And fertility clinics are not the only place where embryos are routinely destroyed in the course of making a baby. Every year, in the U.S. alone, nature (or God) kills hundreds of thousands of embryos so young that the bearer didn't even know she was pregnant. About 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, most of them in the embryo stage. Although there is research going on to reduce miscarriages for the sake of would-be mothers, there is no big crusade to save the lives of these lost embryos. Why not? Contrast this widespread tolerance, if not acceptance, of the mass slaughter of embryos, even among right-to-lifers, with the huge fuss that antiabortion forces have stirred up over the relatively rare practice they insist on calling partial-birth abortions. This campaign emphasizes how recognizably human end-of-term fetuses are. The explicit or implicit argument is that these physical human qualities are at least part of what makes late-term abortions as morally objectionable as killing a postbirth human being. Either this argument is utterly disingenuous or the corollary must be that destruction of a newly conceived embryo is morally less objectionable. If stem-cell research is banned or limited on the principle that just- conceived embryos have rights just like the rest of us, that will be a principle applied almost nowhere else. It's a principle that fe
[CTRL] Europe's Echelon
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,44689,00.html Does Europe Covet Own Echelon? By Steve Kettmann 12:29 p.m. June 20, 2001 PDT BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Maurizio Turco, an Italian member of the European Parliament, shook up the last scheduled meeting of the temporary committee investigating the Echelon interception system in more ways than one Wednesday afternoon. Turco, who describes himself as a "radical," charged that the committee's year-long investigation may have raised international awareness about the satellite-based surveillance system, but it was in effect nothing more than a smokescreen. "The fact is, the Europeans set the whole thing up to distract attention while they set up their own system," Turco alleged. Committee chairman Carlos Coelho dismissed Turco's accusation as an attempt to grab the spotlight for himself, and there was no question that Turco has his own agenda. Minutes after the meeting started, Turco moved for an adjournment on the grounds that parliamentary procedure had been violated by the failure to translate and circulate all the minutes from previous Echelon committee meetings. What at first seemed a mere attention-grabbing ploy set off a lengthy discussion, and in the end the committee postponed its final vote on its resolution. It also delays consideration of the final version of a 113-page report on Echelon, prepared by Rapporteur Gerhard Schmid, a German Parliament member. Now, a vote on whether to submit a formal protest to the United States concerning Echelon, originally planned for Thursday, has been pushed back to July 3. But whether or not Turco -- president of a block called the Radical MEPs of the Lista Bonino -- was grandstanding, his charge that Europe is establishing its own Echelon-type system was not dismissed lightly. The reasoning is simple enough: If the United States and its partners are monitoring telephone calls, faxes and e-mail through Echelon, can anyone be surprised if other governments covet similar capabilities? Ilka Schroeder, a German Green Party member who spoke at the meeting, said that while she often disagrees with Turco, she thinks he might have a point about European efforts to establish their own version of Echelon. She referred to recent talks among European ministers concerning the expansion of a program called ENFOPOL to include such sensitive areas as credit-card information and IP ports. "This could be much worse than Echelon," Schroeder said. "If this is a report (from the Echelon committee) that pretends to protect the fundamental right to privacy in the European Union, then it must talk about ENFOPOL, because that could be a worse threat to privacy than Echelon. "Even as a member of Parliament, it is hard to get information about what they have decided. They aim to have complete surveillance of anyone in the European Union in real time." Her position is that all secret services are fundamentally untrustworthy and ought to be disbanded. She objects to the Echelon committee's emphasis on trying to bring the satellite-based surveillance activities of the United States -- in league with Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia and Canada -- under some kind of legal oversight, perhaps even through the World Trade Organization. "This is not a matter of law," she said. "Secret services have broken laws so many times, you cannot just make a law. Any democratic control makes secret services more legitimate." As for whatever efforts are underway to give Europe an Echelon-type system, Turco said he was serious about the charges he made in the meeting. "I think that certainly in Europe, there is the political will to establish a snooping system which has the same technical aspects as Echelon, a kind of European Echelon," he said. "Surely in Germany, for example, there is already the technology that makes it possible." Coelho, the Portugese Christian Democrat who oversees the committee, looked weary when the subject of Turco came up later. "I can't understand why he says what he says, and I can't understand why he tables the amendments (to the resolution) that he does," Coelho said. "It seems to me he is trying to make a good headline in the Italian press. If I say something strong like that, I can make headlines, too. But I don't want to do that." But as Schroeder pointed out, there were other signs during the committee meeting of strange currents at work. For example, one of the 160 amendments up for discussion Tuesday -- Amendment 151 -- called on the European Commission and the member states "to invest in new technologies in the field of decryption and encryption techniques." And if the point was lost on anyone, Erika Mann of Germany, who offered the amendment, reiterated the point in the meeting. "If we are to have an independent security policy, and we've said that we want that in the European Union, then we should make the necessary investment in decryption," she said. "It's just as important as encryption." De
[CTRL] Has Bush seen the light?
-Caveat Lector- Has Bush seen the light? When blackouts hit California, Bush insisted that price controls were the wrong way to solve the electricity crisis. Now Republicans are worried about losing Congress--and they've found a way to help the West. But is it too little too late? By Karen Tumulty and Michael Weisskopf With reporting by John F. Dickerson, Michael Duffy and Adam Zagorin/Washington http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/time/2001/06/25/light.html June 18, 2001 Posted: 3:41 p.m. EDT (1941 GMT) Conservatives hate to meddle in the markets. So it would be hard to find a more unlikely advocate for federal price controls than California Congressman Duncan Hunter, whose voting record nearly every year gets a 100% rating from the American Conservative Union. But when the owner of a small metal shop in El Cajon showed Hunter his December electric bill- -$115,000 for the month, four times what the man had been paying before the state's electricity crisis began--Hunter changed his mind. "I came to the conclusion that this wasn't free enterprise," the San Diego County Republican says. On the day George W. Bush was inaugurated, Hunter introduced a bill authorizing the new Administration to impose caps on "unjust and unreasonable prices in the electric-energy market." The Administration wasn't interested. For the past six months, Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have rarely missed a chance to say what a huge mistake government controls of California energy costs would be. But the argument has been slapping up against an obvious political problem: Bush's free-market principles mirror the financial interests of his backers in the energy industry--top executives who are cashing in stock options for tens and hundreds of millions of dollars while their corporate profits are tripling. "The consequence of the inaction has been a massive transfer of wealth from the ordinary citizens of California to rich energy barons in Houston, Charlotte and Atlanta," California's Democratic Governor, Gray Davis, told TIME. The state's wholesale energy bill grew from $7 billion in 1999 to $27 billion last year, and could reach $55 billion this year. With 54 electoral votes, California isn't used to getting the cold shoulder from Washington. But if the plight of the state's ratepayers hasn't forced Bush to rethink the wisdom of price caps, the plight of its Republicans may have. Control of the House in next year's midterm elections could depend on half a dozen endangered G.O.P. seats in California. That's why House majority whip Tom DeLay told Bush two weeks ago that he shouldn't count on Republicans to beat back price caps. There may be collateral damage at the other end of the Capitol as well. Sources say Senate minority leader Trent Lott has warned Bush aides that California's problems could infect 10 Western states, endangering Colorado's Wayne Allard, Idaho's Larry Craig and Oregon's Gordon Smith. And while Bush may be writing off California's votes, plenty of Democrats covet them, including putative presidential contender Joe Lieberman, whose first act as a new committee chairman last week was to launch hearings into the state's energy crisis. So Bush is in a bind--caught between his principles and moneymen on one side and the prospect of summertime blackouts, spiraling prices and mutinous legislators on the other. He needs a way out, and may have found one. This week a little-known agency called the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission meets in a special session, its first with two new Bush appointees in place. For the past year, FERC has ignored pleas for sweeping electricity price controls in California and other Western states. Last fall, at a congressional subcommittee hearing in San Diego, chairman Curtis Hebert suggested that consumers should learn to live with higher electricity prices. "If the truth kills Granny," he declared, "let her die." When things got really bad last spring, FERC limited prices only during the worst power emergencies. But this week FERC is expected to approve full-time price controls. Why is FERC relenting? The argument against price caps is that they do infinitely more harm than good, as Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon discovered when they allowed government bureaucrats to clog the gears of a free market. Price caps, says Energy Secretary Spence Abraham, are merely a formula for "an increase in the scope, duration and frequency of blackouts." But Davis, along with virtually the entire California congressional delegation, Democratic and Republican, says the market now is anything but free. It is being manipulated, in their view, by energy companies that have wrung billions out of California consumers by squeezing supply to create artificial shortages. Why else, they say, would California power suppliers like Enron Corp.--a Houston-based trading giant headed by one of Bush's top donors and informal energy advisers--be seeing their revenues jump 281% in the first quarter? Even a respecte

[CTRL] Mother Who Killed Her Five Children Was On Anti-Depressant HALDOL
-Caveat Lector- Mother Who Killed Her Five Children Was On Anti-Depressant HALDOL By Jeff Franks 6-21-1 "Doctors used a cocktail of drugs to help Yates during both bouts of depression. She was currently taking medication that included Haldol, Yates said." HOUSTON (Reuters) - The husband of a woman who confessed to drowning their five children said on Thursday he still loved her and blamed the tragedy on her severe case of postpartum depression. Russell Yates, at times fighting back tears but for the most part remarkably composed, told reporters that what wife Andrea Yates did was ``incomprehensible'' because she was a ``kind and gentle person'' who loved their kids. ``I'm supportive of her because on the one hand I know she killed our children...but on the other I know that the woman here is not the woman who killed my children,'' he said, pointing to a photograph of the family taken a few months ago. ``She had her psychotic side effects with her depression that led her to do this. She loved our kids and anybody that knew her knew that.'' ``Andrea, if you see this, I love you,'' said Yates, who spoke to reporters in the front yard of the one-story suburban home where the children were killed on Wednesday. Andrea Yates, 36, was jailed without bond on a charge of capital murder, which under Texas law could bring her the death penalty. She was due to be arraigned on the charges on Friday. She called police to their home near NASA's Johnson Space Center on Wednesday morning and told them she killed the children -- four boys and a girl who ranged in age from 6 months to 7 years. The four youngest -- Luke, 2, Paul, 3, and John, 5, and 6-month-old daughter, Mary -- were found in a bed, their still-wet bodies covered with a sheet. Seven-year-old Noah was in the bath tub where police believe Yates drowned the children. Russell Yates, a 36-year-old NASA computer engineer, said his wife called him at work and told him he needed to come home. ``I said 'is anyone hurt' and she said 'yes.' I said 'who' and she said 'the children...all of them.' My heart just sank,'' he said. Yates raced home to find the police already there. He said his wife of eight years suffered separate episodes of severe postpartum depression after having their fourth and fifth kids and had tried to commit suicide two years ago. The depression caused her to become so withdrawn and incapacitated that his mother, Dora Yates, would come over to help care for the children. Doctors used a cocktail of drugs to help Yates during both bouts of depression. She was currently taking medication that included Haldol, Yates said. According to Baylor College of Medicine psychiatry professor Lauren Marangell, Haldol is usually prescribed for psychosis, a more severe illness than garden variety postpartum depression and one more likely to lead to violence. When she was well, Andrea Yates homeschooled the children and lavished attention on them, Yates said. For Valentine's Day, she made them heart-shaped booklets with coupons that were good for a hug or a

I thought the question was easy enough in its concise form; sometimes I get too general.

I couldn't care less how anyone leads their life, we've all got our own rows to hoe. I just like to hold everyone to the standards they set for others, in this situation, tolerance.

ETA and the BRA or Breton Revolutionary army are known to have staged armed attacks to acquire weapons, including eight tonnes of Titadine explosives stolen from a factory at Plevin in Brittany in September 1999 and explosives and more than 20,000 detonators obtained through a raid in Grenoble this year. Though French security forces recovered some of the Titadine from the BRA, some 5 tonnes were retained by ETA, some of which has been reportedly passed on to the Palestinian militant group, Hamas. Israeli security sources have made it plain that while they are aware of the raised level of co-operation between terrorist groups,they are surprised at Hamas importing explosives when so much is being made available by the Syrians and Iraqis. While the Islamic militant group, Hezbollah not only produces explosives in the Bekaa valley in the Lebanon, but has received huge quantities of modern military explosives from Iran and to a lesser extent, Syria. However, Israeli sources have expressed alarm that Hamas, in particular, has received training from some of the Real IRA's leading 'engineers' following the killing of a number of the Palestinian groups leading bomb-makers by Israeli undercover units. In return the Real IRA have received certain specialized and advanced pieces of military equipment of Russian origin which their 'friends' in Croatia and the Baltic states had been unable to supply. ETA's reported attempt to bomb a Plymouth bound ferry may have more to do with its close relationship with the Real IRA than their own needs and provides an alarming preview of the future of terrorist operations where IRA targets in mainland Britain may well be 'bombed' by terrorists from another country, making it doubly difficult for MI-5 and the specialist police branch's to identify and track them. Spanish Interior Minister, Mariano Rajoy, expressed little surprise at the idea of an international terrorist network, "On numerous occasions we have had clear proof of the relationship between terrorist groups" he said. Co-operation between terrorist organizations is set to greatly increase, it is of great value to such groups and provides a security nightmare for Western Europe. So far the Anarchist groups that plague the regular multi-national Governmental meetings in Europe and the USA have remained nothing more than a major irritant, but in a sinister move, terrorists are now known to be trying to infiltrate these groups and the prospect of professional hitmen, snipers and bombers operating under the cover of anarchist riots is exercising the minds of the Police and Security forces throughout the world.

[CTRL] Biotechnology promises major advances for U.S. Army
-Caveat Lector- >From Eurekalert!, http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/pu-bpm062001.html Contact: Emil Venere [EMAIL PROTECTED] 765-494-4709 Purdue University Biotechnology promises major advances for U.S. Army WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A report being released today (Wednesday, 6/20) recommends that the U.S. Army take advantage of dramatic advancements in biotechnology that promise to help soldiers survive and perform better in the 21st century. The report, from the National Research Council's Board on Army Science and Technology, was prepared by a 16-member committee chaired by Michael Ladisch, a distinguished professor of biomedical engineering and agricultural and biological engineering at Purdue University. The council is the principal operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine. By the year 2025, biotechnology will likely bring advances such as "rugged computer memories" made from genetically engineered proteins, camouflage materials and lightweight armor inspired by living organisms, portable solar-power systems, "biological markers" that help to distinguish friendly soldiers from the enemy, wristwatch-size sensors and devices that detect biological and chemical warfare agents. Research also promises to make possible the creation of new vaccines, drugs and wound-healing technologies, and medical applications that provide broad benefits to world health, states the report. "These are but a few of a myriad of possibilities, some of which may never be developed for lack of commercial incentive, thus challenging the Army to devise ways of influencing their development," according to the report, "Opportunities in Biotechnology for Future Army Applications." Recommendations in the report stress the importance of developing defensive technologies aimed at improving the survivability and effectiveness of U.S. soldiers. The report specifically does not address the use of biotechnology for offensive applications. To illustrate the dramatic significance of emerging technologies, the report includes hypothetical, but realistic, battlefield scenarios in the year 2025. "Although soldiers in 2025 may look much the same as their present-day counterparts, they will be drawn from a society that has been armed by biotechnology with increased strength and endurance and superior resistance to disease and aging," the report states. "By then, biosensors may be able to detect chemical, biological and environmental threats of all kinds, bio-electronics components could enable combat systems to survive in high-radiation environments, biologically inspired materials could provide light protective armor for soldiers, and therapies for shock trauma from excessive bleeding could be developed." Biotechnology uses organisms, tissues, cells or the molecular components derived from living things to make products or to perform functions. It's a technology used to produce drugs and antibiotics like penicillin, and to make new materials and devices. Biotechnology also sometimes involves altering the workings of cells or components inside cells, including their genetic material. Ladisch said the committee, made up of experts from industry, academia and government, was formed in late 1999 to create the report, which also was reviewed by an independent group of researchers before it was approved. "Some of these ideas may really seem far out because we are looking toward the year 2025," Ladisch said. The report includes insights about likely advances resulting from research into the genetic structure and function of humans and other organisms, including possible biological warfare agents. "If soldiers on the battlefield are exposed to a biowarfare agent, advances in genomics could make it possible to quickly identify this agent and produce a vaccine," Ladisch said. The report has two overall conclusions: * To keep pace with the unprecedented rate of discovery and the anticipated increase in biotechnology developments, the Army will have to establish new, effective partnerships with the emerging biotechnology industry, participate in research and develop the capabilities to act on opportunities as they arise. * Because commercial markets for medical applications will drive many advances in biotechnology, Army scientists and engineers must expand their understanding of biology's role in research leading to military applications. The report recommends that the Army adopt new approaches to work with the private sector, encouraging relationships between government and industry. The report also urges the Army to invest in education, assembling "a cadre of science and technology professionals capable of translating advances in the biosciences into engineering practice." Also, to help speed the development of certain technologies, the report suggests that the Army focus its research in several high-priority areas, including: * New types of rugged, high-capacit
[CTRL] Professor's warning on warfare
-Caveat Lector- >From This is Bradford, http://www.thisisbradford.co.uk/bradford__district/bradford/news/BRAD_NEWS6.html> Professor's warning on warfare by Kanchan Dutt A leading warfare expert will tomorrow tell a major conference that genetic research is opening up the door for a new range of biological weapons. The University of Bradford's Professor Malcolm Dando will spell out the need for governments to ensure research into biotechnology and genetics does not lead to the birth of a new generation of weapons. Prof Dando will address the inaugural Global Forum for Law Enforcement and National Security in Edinburgh, looking at issues of national safety which will play a role over the next 20 years. The high-powered three-day meeting started today and is chaired by Lord Ashdown with judge William Webster, a former director of the CIA and FBI, taking part in a live satellite link. Prof Dando said the current `gentleman's agreement' binding major states to use genetic advances to battle illnesses and not each other was no longer strong enough to guarantee international peace. His role as professor of international security, part of the university's peace studies department, has led his team to receive regular Nato funding for research into the field and led to a personal invitation to the conference. He said: "The British discovered during the Second World War the best way of attacking humans is by spreading poisons in the air, and it is clear that the use of toxins on the battlefield will have rapid effects. "But until we had genetic engineering it was not possible to produce these toxins in large quantities." "Work by governments and academic institutions - including the University of Bradford - into genetics to tackle human illnesses has inadvertently opened the door for terrorist groups and unscrupulous dictators such as the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to use the research for weapons. "We know at the end of the Cold War the former USSR had biological weapons with genetically engineered enhanced resistance," said Prof Dando. "The conclusion is that if you don't prevent the misuse of this knowledge you could produce tailor-made pathogens. "You could actually set out to design a pathogen that no one would be able to deal with." He singled out foot and mouth as an example of how a natural virus can wreak havoc upon a nation's livestock and its economy, adding: "Imagine the destruction possible if someone decided to use the virus to attack another country - it would be horrendous." http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Boy those anarchists and Irish - scared the hell out of othem...

How will you have it - AIDS or Warmost prefer war. Especially since we got them outnumbered. So soon we will see them beating their ploughshares into fertilizer bombs? Saba http://www.wnd.com/frame/direct.asp?SITE=www.guardian.co.uk/Distribution/Redir ect_Artifact/0,4678,0-507880,00.html EU leaders fear wrath of the people European integration Ian Black and Michael White in Gothenburg Saturday June 16, 2001 The Guardian Europe's leaders were last night forced to consider slowing down their "great debate" about the future of the continent in the face of growing evidence of "a widespread sense of disconnection" between the EU and its citizens. As hundreds of anti globalisation rioters offered tangible proof of alienation in violent clashes on the streets of Gothenburg, the 15 heads of government attending the Swedish summit were warned that ordinary people remain frustrated by their remoteness and lack of democratic accountability. Anarchist riots forced them to cancel a planned dinner at a restaurant in the city centre and stay instead in the heavily guarded conference centre. Britain's low election turnout has deeply unsettled ministers. But the catalyst for yesterday's agonising was an unusually outspoken public intervention by Bertie Ahern, the Irish prime minister. Mr Ahern told colleagues that Ireland's shock rejection of the Nice treaty, which paves the way for EU expansion up to 27 members, underlined a "widespread sense of disconnection" between the union and its people. "There is frustration at what is seen as an absence of clarity, openness and responsiveness in how the union goes about his business," he added. "There is a real and urgent need to focus on how we make the union more meaningful to our citizens and on how its democratic accountability can be strengthened." The Irish No is unlikely to kill the treaty or prevent enlargement of the EU to the south and east by 2004. Mr Ahern will seek a Yes vote in another referendum, but not until next year. But anxiety with the 54% to 46% voter rejection of Nice in Ireland was barely concealed by some summiteers. And it prompted Tony Blair and fellow leaders to admit to second thoughts as to whether the time is right to launch a potentially divisive debate about the future constitutional direction of Europe. Outside the summit venue hundreds of anti-capitalist activists clashed with police, throwing sticks and cobble stones and erecting burning barricades. Protesters, many wearing black hoods, smashed several shop front windows, including two McDonald's hamburger restaurants. Mr Blair denounced the violence in which up to 37 people, including 10 police officers, were injured. "The protests are a complete outrage. To result in this violence is not just entirely wrong, but also completely misguided." The Belgians, who take over the EU presidency from Sweden next month, are due to launch the debate over the future shape of Europe. "The EU should not proceed too fast," said the Austrian chancellor, Wolfgang Schüssel, who has experienced voter alienation in the shape of Joerg Heider's far-right Freedom party. "Nice has not yet been ratified and we are already talking about new goals." But the gloom looked set to kill off Swedish hopes of speeding up the process. Goran Persson, the Swedish prime minister and summit host, had hoped to issue a more precise target date for the entry of countries such as Poland and Hungary, which lead the 12 applicants queueing up to join the club. EU leaders repeated that the bitterly contested Nice treaty, which includes a long-overdue overhaul of creaking institutional machinery, cannot be renegotiated and that enlargement - the biggest ever undertaken - must go ahead. The first newcomers are expected in 2004. Ireland is the only EU state which requires a popular vote, but all 15 members have to ratify it for it to become law. Spain's conservative prime minister, Jose-Maria Aznar, made the same argument in favour of a new slowly-slowly approach. Mr Blair is also likely to welcome this since he fears the divisive abstractions of constitutional debate as he contemplates Britain's crucial decision on a euro referendum. Gerhard Schröder, the German chancellor and his foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, last year sparked a wide debate about the future of Europe as it enlarges in advance of new treaty talks in 2004. But Mr Schröder appeared to be backing down in the aftermath of the Irish vote, which some now fear could come to prove as difficult as the Danish rejec

[CTRL] Muslim Woman Denied French ID Over Headscarf (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Muslim Woman Denied French ID Over Headscarf http://www.islam-online.net/english/News/2001-06/21/article2.shtml NANCY, France, June 20 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - A French court has rejected a Turkish Muslim woman's demand for a resident's permit on the grounds that she wore a headscarf for her identity photograph, judicial sources said Wednesday. In its ruling, the appeals court in the eastern city of Nancy, dismissed government legal advice that the woman should be allowed to wear a headscarf in her ID photo as long as it did not disguise her identity, reported the French news wire AFP. The woman had applied to renew her French resident's permit in 1996 but the local administration in Montbeliard rejected the demand on the grounds that the ID photos she provided showed her wearing a scarf covering her head and neck and did therefore did not meet official regulations. Muslims in France have been struggling for more rights and acknowledgement of Islam. French Muslims make up the single largest Muslim community in Europe. Their number is now estimated at around 6 million, or up to 10 percent of the total French population. Muslims are second in size only to the Roman Catholic community. The Muslim labor force and Muslim businessmen constitute significant economic power in the country, about 60% of them hold French nationality. Statistics show that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in France; some 50,000 Frenchmen and women are said to be converting annually. In spite of their size, Muslims complain that the French refuse to accept the Muslim presence, considering Islam an alien force which "should be eliminated." French Muslim groups say that their communities are being overwhelmed by the "secularism" sweeping over all spheres of life in France, where it is increasingly difficult to live or bring up children as Muslims. Muslims in France, having been forced to accept that their daughters cannot wear hijab to school, were confronted last year with a new policy, which makes the abortion-pill freely available to teenage school-girls, "making illicit sexual activity routine and subverting parental authority." http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Affirmative Action Fails
-Caveat Lector-
Maybe they should resurrect Bob Hope to do a new Road to Mandalay movie?
Resurrect a Bing Crosby type and bring back the Burma Shave signs that
used to be along the road to Mandalay -
Keep remembering a Bob Hope movie in which he was in a jungle, and
cannibals were on their knees worshiping a fallen space craft? Hope
said "gee, they must have found out how much it cost".
For example of in jokes and ridicule of our space program, and sabatoge
of same - read Acts 19 which is keyed and timed to Apollo disaster and
see the line "by this craft ye know we have our wealth"..
Bob Hope made big bucks from our government at taxpayer's expense - many
people believed he went overseas out of the kindness of his heart.
All those Road pictures made had purpose.
But for those with enquiring minds see the key reading timed and dated
to the Apollo Disaster and the symbolism of things only insiders know -
and keep in mind our Russian friends also had Nazi Scientists but the
German Scientists, came to USA.
How about a movie Road to Hell.
But look for key words - keeping in mind our space program was sabotaged
- and reference to "a space of time"...nice code/communication here.
The King James Bible
at the Electronic Text Center, University of Virginia
Acts, chapter 19
"1": And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul
having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding
certain disciples,
"2": He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye
believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether
there be any Holy Ghost.
"3": And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they
said, Unto John's baptism.
"4": Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of
repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him
which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
"5": When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus.
"6": And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on
them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
"7": And all the men were about twelve.
"8": And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of
three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom
of God.
"9": But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of
that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the
disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
"10": And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they
which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and
Greeks.
"11": And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
"12": So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or
aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went
out of them. {Saba Note - no doubt their name was Legion, for they are
many}
"13": Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to
call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus,
saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
"14": And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the
priests, which did so.
"15": And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I
know; but who are ye?
"16": And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and
overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that
house naked and wounded.
"17": And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at
Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was
magnified.
"18": And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their
deeds.
"19": Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books
together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of
them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
"20": So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
"21": After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when
he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying,
After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
"22": So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him,
Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
"23": And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
"24": For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made
silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
***
"25": Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and
said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
"26": Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost
throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much
people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
***
"27": So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought;
but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised,

Re: [CTRL] PBS Boy Scout show blasted
-Caveat Lector- Well Tenorlove - consider this. The "Gay" priders have their own flag, a little flag to call their very own. Now Gay Pride you would think would be proud to have their own little cub scouts and boy and girl scouts and they could have their own little scout section all to their own - The Gay Pride Souts of America. Keep in mind these vicious perverts booed the American Boy Scouts when the stood on the stage at the Democrat Convention... Now from where would Gay Pride get all the kids, unless of course Rosie O'Donnell would have her kids join up - for she has now come out all the way in the open - but one child was taken away from her and her lesbian paramour for neighbors heard screams in the night.and called police on several occasions. then Rosie had cancer scare and then Rosie had finger almost amputated but her lesbian paramour slept over at the hospital and by a miracle her life, was spared. Now this is the element on PBS that has invaded the Sesame Street fantasy land for children, but that kids already have Pee Wee Herman whom some say is about to make a come back. So I am sure people would want to contribute to the Gay Pride Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts or It Scouts so long as they flew their own flag, and they were not any part of the present Order of Boy Scouts? Seems they really go after those little cub scouts though - Strange these people want other people's children to play with like a bunch of little perverted Michael Jacksons and Pee Wee Hermans and Rosie O'Donnell (now does she play mommy or does her little playmate - who plays daddy). Now Janet Reno would be an ideal honorary figurehead for the little Gay Pride Boy Scouts and their leaders, and Barney Franks would be ideal for the little Girl Scouts.how sweet.

[CTRL] Affirmative Action Fails
-Caveat Lector- Mahathir slams "lazy" Malays, warns of foreign colonialist plots http://sg.news.yahoo.com/010621/1/14ewd.html KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 (AFP) - Malaysia's veteran Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, battling a slump in support for his ruling party, went on the attack Thursday -- castigating Malays for laziness, greed and ingratitude. Mahathir, who marks 20 years in power next month, also savaged opposition parties, foreign powers and the overseas media which he said wanted to make Malaysia a puppet state. The premier, opening the annual meeting of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), rejected criticism of his "mega-projects" and accusations of cronyism. He acknowledged that UMNO, which has held power as the dominant coalition partner since independence in 1957, might become a minority Malay party in the next election -- which must be held by 2004. Yet Mahathir accepted no responsibility for the loss in support. "Aren't almost all the allegations against the government baseless?" he asked at one point. He depicted UMNO as the only defender of Malay special rights and accused the opposition Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) of willingness to barter those rights to win power. Mahathir expressed frustration that a 30-year affirmative action programme, to help majority Malays narrow the wealth gap with the minority Chinese, had failed to achieve its target. But the Malays were to blame. While Malaysians could count their blessings with the strong recovery from the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis, the 1999 election showed that "many Malays were not grateful and tried to overthrow the government that saved the nation (through capital controls) and the Malays themselves." UMNO lost 22 parliamentary seats as many Malays forsook it -- partly due to anger over the sacking and jailing of Mahathir's popular former deputy Anwar Ibrahim. PAS, which is also a Malay party under Malaysia's race-based political tradition, was the main beneficiary. Mahathir lamented the low intake of Malays into universities. Malay children were no less intelligent than other races but "many Malay children are lazy and uninterested in studying," he said. PAS was encouraging students to neglect "secular" subjects in favour of Islamic studies and discouraging mastery of English, which was crucial in the Information Age. Mahathir criticised a "get rich quickly" culture among Malays who squandered economic opportunities under affirmative action. "After 43 years of trying, after billions of ringgit allocated, after several banks and a variety of funds are established, today the achievement of Malays in trade and industry is still low," he said. He added: "Is this caused by the government's lack of effort? A race which is deprived of government assistance (the Chinese) can clearly succeed. "Why can't the Malays who are given all sorts of help succeed?" Mahathir renewed his attack on foreign currency speculators whom he blames for the Asian crisis. He criticised what he called foreigners' support for the opposition but said their only real motive was to recolonise Malaysia economically. "They (foreigners) hate Malaysia especially the current leadership and hate it extremely. They especially hate it because Malaysia was able to defend the economic and financial attack they launched (through speculators) ... "They loathe the Malaysian government for exposing their evil intent when it introduced the concept of globalisation and a borderless world." Globalisation's aim was to dominate the world through Western economic might. "It is only idiots, who always idolise the whites, who will not accept all this." Malaysia, Mahathir said, was hated "because we are regarded not only as a big-headed developing country" but a country led by Muslims and, by Western definition, a terrorist country. "It is their (Western) media which really hate us because all they predicted did not materialise." http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Confused Egyptian Prison Guard MID-EAST REALITIES © - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 6/20: Arab States, including Egypt, are arming at a growing pace. Even combined they are still no match to defeat Israel. But their detterence capabilities are growing, they might be able to seriously bloody Israel in years ahead, and this whole situation is one more factor propelling the Israeli Generals, foremost among them Ariel Sharon, to ponder the risks of a deadly strike now upon the Palestinians, even at the risk of regional war, rather than waiting for a day when the situation might be even more problematical and dangerous for them. At the same time the Mubarak Regime is showing growing signs of confusion and desperation.. For years the Egyptian intelligentsia remained silent as the Egyptian State used near barbaric means of ruthless suppression and torture against nationalists of Islamic orientation. A police state of fear and lawlessness has come to characterize the underpinnings of the regime. Now far milder but nevertheless severe repression has come to a prominent member of their own circles -- Saad Eddin Ibrahim -- and the message is clear to all that anyone who speaks up and opposes the regime should fear for the knock at the door.

EGYPT BUYS MISSILES FROM NORTH KOREA By ELI J. LAKE and RICHARD SALE WASHINGTON, June 18 (UPI) -- Questions about Egypt's efforts to acquire advanced missile technology from North Korea are likely to make the coming visit of Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad Maher el-Sayed's to Washington an awkward one, administration officials and intelligence sources said Monday. Despite denials from Egyptian officials, including President Hosni Mubarak himself, the latest U.S. intelligence reports suggest Egypt is close to obtaining the technology for the No Dong class missiles from North Korea, rockets with a range of 800 miles -- far greater than the best Scuds in the Egyptian arsenal, which can travel at most 300 miles. A growing chorus of U.S. administration officials and lawmakers has privately raised concerns about Egypt renewing military ties with North Korea, and the sources said the Bush administration is likely to press Maher al-Sayed on this issue. One U.S. intelligence official says recent reports estimate there are between 50 to 300 North Korean technicians on the ground in Egypt already working on the missile program. The source tells United Press International the Egyptians will have "wide exposure" to North Korean technology as a result of the program. Another U.S. intelligence official tells UPI, "Egypt is pretty much going to get what Iran got" from the North Koreans. In Dec. 1993, Iran and North Korea signed an agreement to build a production line capacity for the No Dong inside Iran, though that missile had only been tested in 1993 and deployments were much later.

[CTRL] Fwd: Mark Phillips In Reply
Jaye, Thanks for the email. I am sending this to a select few others. Here is my personal reply. Feel free to forward it to Phillips and O'Brien. Dear Mr. Phillips, My name is Robert Sterling, and I am the editor of The Konformist. In late 1999, Jaye Beldo's review of "Trance Formation of America" appeared on my site. I also wrote about your book (as well as Bryce Taylor's) in Apocalypse Culture II, as well as Steamshovel Press and GettingIt online. Let me apologize for not contacting you for so long. In fact, we were in contact long ago, but the email I had for you no longer worked and neither did the phone number. (Both were inactive soon after we were in email contact.) I do sincerely apologize over this, because I do believe that when I personally write something about someone, I should give them the opportunity to respond. (I prefer to stab people in the chest over the back.) In fact, I have let Stephen Marshall of Guerrila News Network know he had complete permission to give you any and all information on how to contact me to you, as I welcomed speaking to you and allowing you space to present your views. Having said that, I will repeat what I said in an interview to Mr. Marshall: I harbored no personal animosity to either you or Ms. O'Brien, but I had serious questions about the accuracy of what was in your book. Even more disturbing, I had a very bad feeling that, wittingly or not, the claims in TFoA could easily be used to manipulate people into a hysterical witch-hunt state, and could be used to smear those who are innocent of charges made by you and Cathy, Bryce, and others. I felt if people were not careful, they could be whipped into a fascist state of mindlessly agreeing to any charge made by alleged CIA sex slaves into a conspiracy underground version of McCarthyism. Frankly, I find your letter to Jaye Beldo a little disturbing in that you allege to have put him on a "shortlist of potentially dangerous sexual predators" even though your only evidence of this is that he wrote a review of your book that you didn't like. Here are some other thoughtful quotes: "...until you are apprehended for being a physical threat to yourself & or innocent others you will remain at large but never-the-less well identified... As within moments from the time you may eventually be arrested for some alledged charge of illegal/immoral activities, I will be notified and will do all in my power of influence to see that you are legally seperated from society until you have had the time necessary to do what you proposed for others less appreciative of your sick "review"... to get a hold of yourself..or allow an inmate to take matters into their own hands..and change your thoughts towards acceptance of brutal criminal activity." Somehow, this seems to underscore my misgivings of your work being used to whip people into a fascist witch hunt. If you would like to talk, I'd be happy to by email. I'd give you my phone number, but my confidence in your basic decency and integrity is now into serious question, and I don't trust what you'd do with that information. In any case, my offer to you of putting any information up by you on my site is still good.

We welcome the festival as one expression of the struggle against imperialism which is suffocating the peoples of the world and even threatening the very existence of humanity. In order to defeat our common enemy all the anti-imperialist forces around the world must co-operate and strive to join hands in this struggle for life and death. This is why we propose that we mutually exchange delegation between the World Festival, August 8-16, and the Anti-imperialist Camp, Assisi, July 28-August 5. However, we have some burning questions regarding the most urgent necessities of the global anti-imperialist struggle: Why have you chosen Algeria as the place to meet? You must have been aware of the civil war raging in this tortured county since one decade during which the regime has proved to be a "model pupil of the IMF"? (as your German preparatory committee admits it openly; see http://weltfestspiele.online.de/kabylei1.html, May 29, 2001) You refer to the glorious Algerian liberation struggle but these times have definitely gone. Already in 1988 the Algerian youth has been protesting against the austerity programme imposed on them by the regime servile to imperialism and was crushed violently. Non of the popular demands have been met and in the early 90ies a military dictatorship has been erected in order to keep the pro-Western regime in power against the free will of the overwhelming majority of the population. And why you keep insisting in this emergency situation? Today the regime is about to repress another legitimate social rebellion blaming it to be separatist. But this is simply a pretext as the movement in Kabylia has met strong echo in the poor arabophone youth and has explicitly stated to defend the national unity of Algeria as a gain of the liberation struggle. Do you really think that an anti-imperialist gathering can take the support of such a regime and thus support it politically? And what about the solidarity with the Palestinian people? Their new Intifada is a cry for international solidarity. With no word you mention the necessity to stop the Zionist massacre and that all democratic and peace-loving forces of the world urgently have to rally behind this sorely afflicted people to defend their most elementary human right against the Israeli and Western "humanitarian" crusaders: the right of self-determination. We also have to insist on the solidarity with the Colombian people. One of the most powerful popular movements of the world is defending itself in arms against a cruel war unleashed by the narco-oligarchy backed by US imperialism. Millions have lost their land and have been displaced, tens of thousands of militant peasants and workers have been killed by the death squads. With the Plan Colombia imperialism is stepping up its aggression. Therefore we have to take immediate action. We hope that you will consider our suggestions and will choose a different place for the festival. We would be happy if we could reach commitments for common action not only referring to the solidarity with the most outstanding anti-imperialist struggles but also for a more general and systematic co-operation which should be the concrete outcome of our international gatherings.

[CTRL] The Sudan Peace Act: Perpetuating Africa's Longest War
-Caveat Lector- The European-Sudanese Public Affairs Council 1 Northumberland Avenue London WC2N 5BW England Tel:020 7872 5434 Fax:020 7753 2848 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date of Publication: June 2001 THE 'SUDAN PEACE ACT': PERPETUATING AFRICA'S LONGEST WAR On 13 June 2001, the United States House of Representatives passed "An Act to facilitate relief efforts and a comprehensive solution to the war in Sudan", also referred to as the 'Sudan Peace Act'. A more explicit example of confused, distorted and poorly-informed legislation would be hard to find. It is an Act that while paying lip service to the need for a "negotiated, peaceful settlement to the war in Sudan" at the same time provides one side to the conflict with millions of dollars worth of logistical assistance. It is an Act that decries the manipulation of food aid while ignoring the fact that the side it is supporting has been accused of diverting two-thirds of food aid within the areas it controls. It is also an act which decries the abuse of human rights within Sudan but provides millions of dollars to those accused of appalling human rights abuses in Sudan. In so doing the United States seeks to continue foreign interference in a conflict that has raged since 1955, fought, in its most recent phase, since 1983 between the Khartoum government and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) led by John Garang. Even a brief examination of attempts to achieve a comprehensive solution to the conflict in Sudan and relief efforts within that country reveal the deep flaws within this legislation. A "negotiated, peaceful settlement to the war in Sudan" In any examination of the search for a "negotiated, peaceful settlement to the war in Sudan", a little should be said first about those people who drafted this Act. The Act was drafted by legislators such as Representatives Tancredo, Wolf and Payne and Senators Frist, Brownback and Feingold, whose previous involvement with Sudan had resulted in an escalation in the Sudanese conflict and regional tensions. In April 2001, former United States President Carter, one of the most respected and objective commentators on events within Sudan, said of this period: "For the last eight years, the U.S. has had a policy which I strongly disagree with in Sudan, supporting the revolutionary movement and not working for an overall peace settlement." (1) This echoed earlier concerns voiced by Carter. In December 1999 he had observed: "The people in Sudan want to resolve the conflict. The biggest obstacle is US government policy. The US is committed to overthrowing the government in Khartoum. Any sort of peace effort is aborted, basically by policies of the United States...Instead of working for peace in Sudan, the US government has basically promoted a continuation of the war." (2) It is clear, then, that these legislators are hardly the best qualified group of people to talk about peace in Sudan. Far from working for peace they have stood by while the United States militarily and economically destabilised the largest country in Africa. They helped shape American Sudan policy from 1993 onwards - precisely the period referred to by Carter. While they publicly lament the numbers of deaths during this conflict, they are themselves directly responsible for the deaths through war, starvation or disease of thousands of Sudanese. Far from taking Carter's concerns into consideration, the 'Sudan Peace Act' merely perpetuates the Clinton Administration's failed and farcical Sudan policies. The United States Congress has shown itself either amazingly naïve or blatantly hypocritical in drafting the 'Sudan Peace Act'. In either case this piece of legislation reflects very badly indeed on Congress. This American attitude is all the more regrettable since the Sudanese government has repeatedly invited constructive United States involvement within Sudan. (3) A "comprehensive solution to the war in Sudan"? While making for good rhetoric, Congressional calls for a comprehensive solution illustrate either naivety or cynicism. For a solution there has to be some sort of political objective on the part of those waging war on the Sudanese government. The political complexion of the SPLA movement has varied from professedly Marxist through to now politically identifying with American Bible-belt Christian fundamentalists. Even on such a fundamental issue as to whether the SPLA is fighting for a separate south or a united Sudan, there continues to be confusion. (4) The war has always been about the political status of southern Sudan. While the SPLA appear to be confused, the Khartoum authorities' approach would appear to be clear. If the SPLA are fighting for autonomy or even separation this has already been offered by the government. In 1997, having already introduced a federal system and exempted southern Sudan from Sharia law, the Sudanese Government, in the Khartoum Peace Agreement, also offered, amongst other thi

The fungus -- typically known as "magic mushrooms" because of its hallucinogenic effect -- seemed like a good topic three years ago because of the wide variety of available research material, said Longino, who is now 18 and has just graduated. But not everyone agreed. Longino's teacher at Hopewell Valley Central High School refused to give Longino any credit for the scientific brochure the youngster created until he removed all references to human consumption of the illegal drug. Longino refused. A state appeals court yesterday upheld a decision by the state Board of Education in support of the school system While part of the teacher's response to the paper involved issues of the writing quality (e.g.; the teacher did not think humaor was appropiate for a science paper), another part of the situation involved the view that school should not recognize any student work to seems to promote use of illicit drugs. An interesting excerpt from the article: The court ruling also dictated that it did not matter whether Longino intended to advocate drug use because the brochure "might reasonably be perceived" as advocating or at least not deterring drug use. "...not deterring drug use?" Hmmm, does this imply a duty for all student writers to actively put in anti-drug messages just make sure they were not "draft dodgers" in the war on drugs? J.D.

Personally, Mark, I think the phobe part is that these sex-driven people may be afraid of leaving even one creature on the planet left unlaid, regardless of age, sex or species.

I'd have to be a heterophobe, too, by your reasoning, since I turn off the TV when the theme is sex, regardless of what type. And where did you get the censorship angle? Are you saying that my children and I should be forced to watch homosexual programming? I'm no longer amazed or surprised that a sex maniac is trying to shove that lifestyle down my and my children's throats. There's an inverse relationship between obsession and action, you know.

[CTRL] Making Unwanted Things Go Away
-Caveat Lector- Making Unwanted Things Go Away June 21, 2001 A few years ago I was given a book for Christmas whose purpose was to warn parents about the dangers of New Age concepts for young children. I won't give the name of the book for reasons that will become apparent. Among the targets of this book were Barney the Dinosaur, E.T. the Extraterrestrial, and the channeling of Ramtha by J.Z. Knight. I read the book in a day and threw it away, something I rarely do. There are certainly some fraudulent people promoting New Age ideas; but this book picked targets that were either ridiculous or so easy to discredit anyone could do it, Christian or not. After finishing the book I realized it may do more to spread awareness of the things it was trying to stamp out than to realize its stated goal. You see, awareness is spread not only by promotion but by attack. When a child or adult for that matter is presented with the idea of "not Barney" it is not much different from "Barney." Those who knew nothing about Barney, after being told how bad he is, may want to know more about Barney. This is awareness not possessed by the reader beforehand. It has been said that the universe does not know the word "not." The universe, as its root word would indicate, is a unity concept. Yes and no are the framework of duality, not unity. For this reason it is awareness and not positivity or negativity that counts most. You don't get someone to think about something besides elephants by saying, "for the next two minutes DO NOT think about elephants." Try it. You see this in the natural world where animal parents raising young take your attention elsewhere instead of sitting by the nest and squawking "don't look right here." So those who want anything to go away, whether it is gays, Democrats, Republicans, drugs or aliens, are not going to accomplish their goal by spreading awareness of that particular plague. My first experience with this came as a young child when I read obscene graffiti aloud in the presence of my mother, who ascribed evil intent to this innocent act. "Don't ever say that word," she said, which only made me very curious about a word I was previously unaware of but that was so powerful. Someone has said "If you want more of something, declare war on it." Remember that next time you join a crusade against a particular lifestyle, religion, political ideology or government policy. It may be better for your purposes to be FOR something else. But that requires a 180-degree switch from negative to positive, which some people find very difficult. To apply that to a recent earth event, those who badly wanted Tim McVeigh not to exist only served to publicize his cause far beyond what he could have done on his own from a death row prison cell. Did he know that? Possibly. A child learns at a very young age that he/she can get attention by being either good or bad. To a child it matters not which, it is the attention that is important. **No "facts" included** **Opinion only** http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
