[CTRL] Israeli Ambassador To Denmark Supports Torture
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/010715/1/19ant.html Sunday July 15, 10:29 PM Uproar in Denmark as Israeli ambassador supports use of torture COPENHAGEN, July 15 (AFP) - Human rights organisations in Denmark have urged the government to reject the appointment of Israel's new ambassador to Denmark, Carmi Gillon, after he told Danish media that he supported the use of torture on suspected Palestinian militants. Gillon, who was the head of the Israeli secret service in the mid-1990s, recently told Danish media he supported the use of "moderate physical pressure" on suspected Palestinians. A number of human rights organisations have urged the Danish government to either reject Gillon's appointment or pursue him in court for breach of the United Nations convention on torture. "We cannot have a situation where torturers are allowed to walk freely in Denmark," said Jens Modvig, general secretary of the Copenhagen-based International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims. "It would be an insult to torture victims and to the many years of international efforts against torture if a man who has hundreds of cases of torture on his conscience were allowed to walk freely on the streets of Copenhagen," Modvig said. "Under the UN convention, Denmark has a duty to pursue suspected torturers in justice, and if the Danish government refuses to reject Gillon outright then it should take measures to pursue him in court when he arrives," Modvig said. He also urged the government to revoke the immunity granted to diplomats in order to pursue Gillon. Gillon is scheduled to take up his post in September. Danish Foreign Minister Mogens Lykketoft said in a statement he would not block Gillon's appointment. "During many years of uninterrupted practice, it has been the responsibility of foreign governments to decide who they deem appropriate to represent them in Denmark," he said. However, he made clear Denmark's opposition to the use of torture. "We distance ourselves strongly from any use of torture. We will protest against any country whose actions violate the UN convention on torture," he stressed. "The newly appointed Israeli ambassador has in recent days indicated that there may be a need to reintroduce methods of moderate torture. There shall be no doubt that the Danish government strongly opposes this stance, which is in direct breach of the convention on torture which Israel has signed," Lykketoft said.
[CTRL] NYPost: INTERN POL: MAN OF MYSTERY
-Caveat Lector- INTERN POL: MAN OF MYSTERY By STEVE DUNLEAVY and BRIAN BLOMQUIST The New York Post July 15, 2001 -- WASHINGTON - From the hats and sunglasses he wore when he took his mistresses to dinner to the alias he used when he visited a tony Washington spa, Rep. Gary Condit was well practiced in the art of leading a secret life. At the Ilo spa in D.C.'s trendy Georgetown - where Monica Lewinsky once was a regular - the California Democrat embroiled in the missing-intern mystery has used an alias for the seven years he has been a customer, the spa owner told The Post yesterday. I can confirm that the congressman has been a client here since 1994, said Gary Walker, who has owned the spa for 21 years. I also can confirm that he came here under an alias. Walker, a Scotsman, is not the only one to describe Condit as nearly obsessive about trying to live anonymously in the nation's capital. Condit's ex-girlfriend, flight attendant Anne Marie Smith, says Condit wore different hats and sunglasses - even to dinner - when they dated. And to get in touch with Condit, his girlfriends have said, they had to dial a special phone number - that apparently didn't ring at his home or office - and leave a message after a recording that just played music. Even Condit's given age of 53 might not be real. The Post reported yesterday that Condit lied about his age when he got married at 18. He claimed he was 25 to marry his wife, Carolyn, who was pregnant at the time. At Ilo - where Tipper Gore has also been a customer - prices start at $70 for a woman's haircut, $48 for a man's haircut, and zoom to $267 for a woman's tint, full highlights, haircut and finish. A half-hour Swedish massage starts at $45, but special care soars to $318 and a day of beauty costs $245. Walker said he couldn't give details about Condit's visit to the elegant spa - or say what alias he used - because of the ongoing probe. I have been told by the U.S. attorney's office to shut up, he said. There have been allegations that Condit made improper overtures to the stunning women who make up the staff. I can't confirm or deny those allegations. I'm just doing what the federal prosecutors asked me to do, Walker said. Condit's lawyer and spokeswoman didn't return phone calls, and the congressman himself has been mum since police started focusing on whether he had any role in the strange and sudden disappearance of 24-year-old intern Chandra Levy. Condit admitted having an affair with Levy just last week, during his third interview with D.C. cops. Yesterday, Levy's parents fled their home in Modesto, Calif., to spend a getaway weekend at the Grass Valley Music Festival outside Sacramento. They're going because they like music, Chandra's aunt, Linda Zamsky, told The Post. We're all doing the same thing. Regardless of what's happening with this ordeal, we have to be able to go about - and live our lives - the best we can. We're not doing too well, but we're trying our very best, Zamsky said. Yesterday marked the 75th day since Chandra vanished - and one D.C. cop said they're no closer to finding her. We're flailing, he said. Zamsky said, I'm more mystified than all of you. It's just a nightmare. Our family just keeps waiting to wake up.

[CTRL] The Robbed Cossack
http://www.mediamonitors.net/index.html The Robbed Cossack by Uri Avnery The Cossacks were settlers in Southern Russia who were granted land by the Czars in return for their obligation to defend the border. They were known as fierce and ruthless fighters, and in Jewish memory they became notorious as the perpetrators of the most abominable pogroms. Therefore, there is a lot of bitter irony in the old Jewish adage "a robbed Cossack". It describes a Cossack who not only causes havoc, murders, rapes and plunders, but also accuses his victims of robbing him. The perpetrator pretends to be the victim, the robber pretends to be robbed. Israel is gradually becoming a "robbed Cossack". An alien on Mars, following Israeli broadcasts on inter-stellar satellite, would get the impression that it is the Palestinians who are maintaining a cruel occupation of Israel and that Palestinian soldiers are roaming the Israeli towns. This is explained by the competition for the international media. Each side to the conflict paints itself as the victim in order to gain the support of world public opinion, which always tends towards the weak. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become a kind of championship fight between two grand masters of victimization. But the phenomenon is more profound. For generations the Jews were persecuted in many countries and developed the consciousness of victims. It could almost been said that most of the Jewish culture created during the last two or three centuries revolves around this axis. The Holocaust, of course, strengthened this central motif even further. The Zionist enterprise in this country should have changed this pattern. After all, the Zionist penetration drove the Palestinians from their lands and turned most of them into refugees. In this historic struggle, the Palestinians lost: lands, villages, great parts of the country. This process is still going on daily. Now the Palestinians have come and demanded for themselves the victim’s crown of thorns. Nothing offends the Israelis more. It seems to us the height of Chutzpah, an attack on the core of our national consciousness. Therefore we react with fury. We describe the intifada as a malicious attack on our existence. We have brought back from the junk-yard the slogans of past generations: the Arabs want to throw us into the sea, they want to take Haifa and Jaffa from us. Forgotten is the fact that we have the mightiest army in the region, that Israel within the Green Line possesses 78% of the country, that we now control the rest of the country (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) too, that we enjoy a vast superiority in almost all fields. Forgotten is the fact that the Palestinians demand for themselves a mere 22% of the country and that the intifada is an uprising against an occupation that has been going on with increasing brutality for 34 years already. Never mind! We are the victims, and we shall bash the head of anyone who tries to rob us of this title. And if Israel is the robbed Cossack par excellence, then the settlers even more so. True, they are in a very difficult situation. They are being attacked daily, their families live in constant danger, they are being killed and wounded. Nobody can envy them. But it cannot be forgotten that they put themselves into this situation, with open eyes and deliberate forethought. Even those who dreamed only about "quality of life" on stolen land and of amusing themselves in swimming pools filled with stolen water cannot complain about the rude awakening. Not to mention the hard core of the settlement movement, the Gush Emunim fanatics and their ilk. They settled in the midst of a dense Palestinian population, on land stolen from the people who became their neighbors. After settling, they expanded, taking over more and more lands, quarreling with the nearby villagers, talking highly of "co-existence" while treating the "locals" with arrogance and contempt. Every Palestinian on the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip, who woke in the morning and looked through the window saw that the red roofs of the adjacent settlement had come even closer to his yard. What did they think, these settlers? What did their leaders and rabbis think? How did they intend to survive in the middle of a population whose hatred became stronger from day to day? Well, it’s no secret: they hoped that this population would disappear. Their aim was not only to settle the whole of Eretz Israel, but also to have an Eretz Israel empty of Goyim. The "dream" of Rabbi Ovadia Joseph, to which he confessed some days ago, of a country between the sea and the Jordan in which there was not a single non-Jew, is not new for them. It had been proclaimed in the past by the Judea-and-Samaria rabbis, who inspired the Jewish underground that aimed at blowing up the Dome of the Rock, who sang the praises of the mass-murderer Baruch Goldstein in public and of the

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V5.29/cr_drugs2.html Click Here: A HREF=http://www.zolatimes.com/V5.29/cr_drugs2.html;Arms Assassinations, by Zola/A - Costa Rica, Past Present Part 2: Arms Assassinations by Zola Arms for Drugs The Panamanian pilot Floyd Carlton Caceres began flying for General Manuel Antonio Noriega in 1980. Noriega was selling arms to the rebels in El Salvadorthe Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional de El Salvador (FMLN). Carlton's network of pilots made 17 flights carrying arms to FMLN. Then in 1982 Carlton helped foment a business relationship between Noriega and two Medellin cartel leaders (Pablo Escobar Gaviria and Gustavo de Jesus Gaviria). Noriega would provide security for drug shipments by allowing flights out of Colombia to land in Panamanian government-controlled runways. Noriega would also help with money laundering by picking up cash shipments and depositing them in the Panamanian banking system (the US dollar is the currency in Panama). Carlton's man in charge of money laundering was Alfredo Caballero, who in 1983 began giving assistance to Eden Pastora Gomez, who became commander of the ARDE (Alianza Revoluncionaria Democratica) forces of the Contra Southern Front, in northern Costa Rica and southern Nicaragua (Public Prosecutors Investigation on 'La Penca' Case, San Jose, Costa Rica, 26 December 1989). Carlton got the drugs to Costa Rica. The CIA often took it from there. The early CIA mixing of arms and drug shipments can be seen in the roundabout flight John Hull and some members of ARDE took in June 1983. They left Tobia Bolanos Airport in San Jose, Costa Rica, and flew to the Opa-Loca Airport in Miami where they picked up a shipment of grenade launchers. The arms were flown to Ilopango, El Salvador and stored. The plane was refueled and flown on to Rio Hacha in Colombia. There it picked up a cargo of marijuana, and flew back to the United States. John Hull was also on hand to meet numerous flights of arms out of Florida to Costa Rica. The arms would be unloaded, the planes would be loaded with cocaine, then return to Florida. Included were a flight out of Fort Lauderdale of M-60 machine guns, M-16 rifles, and C-4 explosive, that landed at Hull's farm in Muelle de San Carlos, and another flight of armaments out of the Opa-Loca Airport that landed in Los Llanos. Both flights took place in July 1984. Arms flew out of the US and into Costa Rica; cocaine flew out of Costa Rica and into the US. Hull never made a move without the okay of CIA Chief of Station Joe Fernandez. Some of the money from narcotrafficking ended up in Frigorificos de Puntarenas S.A. in Costa Rica, from whence it was delivered to the Contras. Frigorificos de Puntarenas had an agent representative in Miami called Ocean Hunter Inc. Both these entities would also be used by Oliver North to channel humanitarian funds to the Contras. Joe Fernandez, CIA Looking at the documentary evidence, it is not clear whether Joe Fernandez, the CIA Chief of Station in Costa Rica thought he was working for his CIA boss (who, after October 1984, was Alan D. Fiers, Jr., the Chief of the CIA's Central American Task Force), or for Oliver North. Clearly Fernandez had a lot of contact with Ollie North he didn't tell the Fiers about. North had given Fernandez an NSA KL-43 encrypted communication device for security. Fernandez would sit in his office in the American Embassy in San Jose and dial up Oliver North in Washington or wherever. The KL-43 has a keyboard and a liquid crystal display (LCD). Fernandez would type out his message on the keyboard, and the message would show up on the LCDs at both ends of the communication. In between (over the telephone lines) the message would be encrypted. Fernandez thought he had a nifty secure channel to North, and that when he severed the connection all traces of their secret communication disappeared. What he didn't know was that North, at his end, had a printer attached, would print out copies of their correspondence, and have them filed away. Later when Fernandez freely lied to the Tower Commission and the CIA Office of Inspector General, he did so with the confidence instilled by encryption. Then he found himself caught in the trap of North's decrypted message files. At one point Fernandez had Eva Groening, a State Department employee, remove all records of his phone calls and lock them in a safe. When the Walsh Commission later subpoenaed them, they couldn't be found. (Iran-Contra: The Final Report, Lawrence E. Walsh, Independent Counsel, Times Books, 1994). Not to worry. The Costa Rican phone company promptly produced them. (Many of us wish the CR phone company was as good at producing phone service as it is at keeping records.) There was something strange about Joe Fernandez. Most CIA Chiefs of Station are administrators kept away from operations. But clearly Fernandez was a hands-on guy.

[CTRL] Agriculture After Global Warming
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/07/0711_wiresoybeans.html Scientists Test Crop Growth in Climate Forecast for 2050 Environmental News Network July 11, 2001 Researchers at the University of Illinois in Champaign are raising soybeans in the kind of atmospheric conditions forecast for the year 2050. By 2050, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are expected to be about 1.5 times greater than the current 370 parts per million, while daytime ozone levels during the growing season could peak on average at 80 parts per billion—now 60 parts per billion. Most scientists agree that the levels of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the atmosphere are rising due to the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas. Since the Industrial Revolution, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased from approximately 290 parts per million by volume (ppmv) to greater than 370 ppmv today. One unknown effect of this concentration is how well food crops will grow in a CO2-rich atmosphere. The conversion of sunlight through the green pigment chlorophyll in plants uses carbon dioxide and water and releases oxygen. Portions of 40 acres (16 hectares) of University of Illinois farmland this summer are sprouting soybeans grown in the presence of higher CO2 levels. Next summer, elevated levels of ozone will join the mix in an experiment called SoyFACE that is the first of its kind. Global Food Security "When you consider the importance of the Midwest in terms of global food security, it is important to do this research here," said Stephen Long, a photosynthesis professor of plant biology at the University of Illinois. "Up to now, experiments related to global warming on many crops have been done in locations on the periphery of major food production areas," he pointed out. SoyFACE (Free Air Gas Concentration Enrichment) is the first test of crop growth in the presence of both increased carbon dioxide and ozone. Researchers want to know how soybeans may be affected, and what scientists might do to assure the integrity of yields and quality as the climate changes, the university said in a statement July 2. Five University of Illinois departments, the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Illinois State Water Survey, as well as researchers from four other nations and two other U.S. universities are participating this summer. FACE research projects are being conducted in many places across the United States and around the world. In Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a sweetgum plantation is being grown in a CO2-rich environment, while in Rhinelander, Wisconsin an aspen forest is getting the CO2 treatment. Swiss scientists are testing grasslands and a bog in high CO2 concentrations, while in Brazil a tropical rain forest is being fed a CO2-rich diet. In Champaign, Illinois, four control and four experimental 70-foot-diameter (21-meter) rings now surround 24 varieties of soybeans. The experimental rings have vertical plastic pipes that deliver at crop level a precisely regulated flow of carbon dioxide, based on wind speed and direction, pumped from a 50-ton solar powered tank. Next summer, soybeans will grow on an adjacent 40 acres (16 hectares) dotted with 24 of the octagon shaped rings. Four rings will pump carbon dioxide, four will provide just ozone, and four will provide ozone and carbon dioxide. Natural conditions will exist in an equal number of control rings for each test. Next summer, eight more rings, including four experimental rings delivering CO2, will be placed among corn on the same 40 acres (16 hectares) being used this year for soybeans. 50 Percent Loss in Yield Soybeans are sensitive to ozone. In August 1999, for instance, ozone levels in central Illinois exceeded the crop threshold for damage on 28 days. Greenhouse experiments suggest a 50 percent loss in crop yield under constant 2050 levels. But under elevated CO2 levels, greenhouse work has shown increases in yields. This SoyFACE experiment, Long said, will provide insight as to what happens in real field conditions. Studies earlier this year by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Research Service (ARS) found that cropland and grassland in the United States could potentially store enough carbon to offset up to 14 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted from vehicle tailpipes and industrial smokestacks in this country. The first national estimate of how much carbon these lands are storing and how much more they could store was developed by Marlen Eve, an ARS soil scientist in Fort Collins, Colorado. Eve and colleagues developed the actual storage estimate for use in international climate change agreement discussions: 20 million tons of carbon a year. If crops of the future utilize more CO2 than plants of today, that carbon storage estimate could rise.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V5.28/cr_drugs1.html Click Here: A HREF=http://www.zolatimes.com/V5.28/cr_drugs1.html;Drug Trafficking by the US National Security Co /A - Costa Rica, Past Present Part 1: Drug Trafficking by the US National Security Council by Zola We call it the Ollie North International Airport. I have flown in and out of it many times. It lies out on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, near Nosara. It is a tiny airstrip for small planes, originally constructed for training (touch-and-go exercises) and for refueling. It is one of about eight airstrips built by Oliver North in Costa Rica for support of the Contras. And, as it turns out, it is one of the reasons that three individuals working for the US National Security Council, along with the US ambassador and the local CIA Chief of Station, were barred from Costa Rica for narcotrafficking. I had heard rumors about this on the Internet. One hears many things on the Internetsome of them true, some of them not. It is not always easy to get the facts. This has been the case especially since a CIA-drugs research industry emerged. Some of the kingpins of this research group are into exposure for the same reason that Elmer Gantry was into religion, or that Christine Keeler was into politicians: namely, it's way to make a buck. So they deliver fire and brimstone, and then pass the collection plate. They aren't very concerned whether their information is accurateonly that it supports their thesis. So I went digging for verification, and found it in the archives of the Costa Rican legislative assembly (Asamblea Legislativa). A special commission had been appointed to investigate the facts concerning narcotrafficking in Costa Rica (Comision Especial Nombrada para Investigar los Hechos Denunciados Sobre Narcotrafico), and it issued its final report on July 20, 1989 in San Jose ( Expediente 10.684, Informe Final, San Jose, 20 de Julio de 1989). It wasn't easy to find: they had buried the report down here also. Recommendation number 13 reads: 13. Que el señor Lewis Tambs, Joe Fernández, Oliver North, John M. Poindexter, Richard V. Secord, no se les permita la entrada al pais. [p. 74] Here we have three individuals associated with the US National Security CouncilJohn M. Poindexter, Oliver North, Richard V. Secordas well as the local CIA Chief of Station, Joe Fernández, and the US Ambassador to Costa Rica, Lewis Tambs, all barred from the country. Fifty members of the legislative assembly voted to approve the report with its recommendations. Two members did not. One of these twoLeonel Salazar Villalobosis now himself in prison for narcotrafficking. General Manuel Noriega of Panama is important to the story. Noriega was the key to drug transport through Central America during the early to mid-1980s. My story, however, will not stop with the Costa Rican legislative report of July 1989. Rather, it will be brought forward to the present day, to the year 2001. For there is a new drug kingpin in town, a new General Noriega, a new man who is key to the Central American transport and distribution zone. In due course in this series I will name him, and I will back up my assertions with documented facts. But first things first. Let's begin in the 1980s when Oliver North opened up a narcotrafficking pipeline through Costa Rica. The pipeline is still here, and Ollie North is still persona non grata. The Southern Front, Noriega, and North It is a simple fact of geography that Costa Rica lies between Panama, to the south, and Nicaragua, to the north. The Southern Front were the Contras under Eden Pastora on the southern border of Nicaraguain the northern frontier of Costa Rica. North's objective was to supply them with arms, food, fuel, and whatever else was needed to fight the Sandinistas. In this respect, there were already remnants of a network in placeone that had been used previously to supply the Sandinistas themselves against the Nicaraguan government of Somoza. This group was already experienced in dealing with the logistic problems. A key person used by North in organizing the Southern Front was John Floyd Hull Clark (John Hull), who had lived in Costa Rica for about 20 years at the time he applied for Costa Rican citizenship in 1983. Sometime in the early 1980s he became a CIA assetconvenient, since he owned a lot of property in the north of Costa Rica. Since CIA funds for the Contras had been largely cut off, CIA Director Bill Casey had given North access to many of the CIA's Central American assets. Now, the legislative report and the accompanying documents are specific in many details, but are weak in others. I have supplemented them with various firsthand sourcesCosta Rican and others. These sources generally express respect for Richard Secord, contempt for Oliver North, and say Hull was not a bad guy. For whatever reason, Hull had become a tool of the CIA and did what he was told. For this, he suffered. Drug
[CTRL] IW: Russian Mafia Net Threat
-Caveat Lector- Monday July 16 11:15 AM EDT Russian Mafia Net Threat By Laura Lorek Interactive Week Organized crime rings in Russia and the rest of the former Soviet Union are increasingly hacking into U.S. e-commerce and banking Web sites, posing an enormous economic threat. Hackers have launched computer viruses and disruptive denial-of-service attacks, but the biggest danger comes from hackers with ties to organized crime breaking into computers, FBI officials said. Spearheading the organized hacking rings is the Russian Mafia, security experts say. The Russian Mafia has infiltrated many businesses in the former Soviet Union, and is becoming increasingly sophisticated in computer crimes. These groups are penetrating computers in the U.S. and other Western countries to obtain illegal profits, said John Collingwood, FBI assistant director for public affairs, during a briefing at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., recently. For the foreseeable future, we are going to see an explosion in this area, Collingwood said. It's literally a brand new area for us. And it is one where no one is sure of what the implications will be. The FBI said that 40 companies in 20 states have been identified as targets of what the agency euphemistically calls Eastern European organized crime groups. More than 1 million credit card numbers have been stolen by the groups. The Russian Mafia is operating in 50 countries, including the U.S., with representatives in every major city, according to Jeffrey Robinson, an expert on the Russian Mafia and author of The Merger. He said it has created a wealthy cabal destined to become the most powerful special interest group in the world. Russian hackers pose one of the biggest threats to the United States' vibrant e-commerce and computer industry, said Julie Fergerson, a fraud detective and co-founder of ClearCommerce, a security company for e-commerce firms in Austin, Texas. We are seeing more and more sophisticated attacks coming from that part of the world, Fergerson said. Security experts said the Russian Mafia hacking rings are often run by former KGB agents who recruit hackers in their 20s to do the dirty work. The young hackers typically answer Internet advertisements for computer programmers, planted by organized crime outfits in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Murmansk. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs estimated that 5,600 criminal groups with more than 100,000 members are primarily involved in money laundering, the drug business and extortion. The hackers hired by the Russian Mafia break into e-commerce computers and steal credit card and bank account numbers. Some of them even resort to extortion, pledging to release the data if companies do not pay them off, security experts said. The FBI said such hackers have penetrated U.S. e-commerce computers by exploiting vulnerabilities in unpatched Microsoft Windows NT operating systems. Microsoft has known about the holes since 1998 and has posted patches to fix them on its Web site. But many companies have still not taken steps to fix the holes, according to the FBI. Authorities said the Russian Mafia members gain access to a company's computer systems, download proprietary information - such as trade secrets, customer databases and credit card information - and then demand money to patch the system against other hackers. We are seeing more and more clients being victims of cyberextortion because it's so easy to launch a cyberattack, said Ty R. Sagalow, chief operating officer of AIG eBusiness Risk Solutions, a company that writes insurance policies against hacking attacks for companies. American International Group hires an investigator to look into the break-in, but under many circumstances, it will actually pay off the extortionist. If our clients are going to lose money by getting attacked, then we pay him off, Sagalow said. But right after we pay him off, we post a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Eastern Europe's computer crackers and hackers are the most skillful in the world, said Joe Rosetti, senior vice president of Ipsa International, a New York security company. Incidences of Russian hackers breaking into e-commerce sites abound, but it is unclear whether they are tied to the Russian Mafia. The FBI would not provide details on the organized hacking rings in Eastern Europe because it has an ongoing investigation, a spokesman said. In May, Russian police arrested a gang of suspected hackers led by a 63-year-old man. The hackers used Internet cafZ*s in Moscow to steal about 300 credit card numbers from people in Western countries, the chief of Moscow's police computer crime unit said. Last year, a Russian cyberthief known as Maxus stole credit card numbers from Internet retailer CD Universe. He demanded a $100,000 ransom, but when this was denied, he placed 25,000 of the numbers on a Web site, said Yaron Galant, director of product development at Sanctum, an Internet

-Caveat Lector- So it is illogical to assume that the climate cycles will continue as before with this most unnatural and unprecedented disturbance of Planet Earth.

One major volcano eruption releases more so called greenhouse gases into the atmosphere then all the worlds industrial production for that year.

[CTRL] Condit Men No Strangers To Criticism
http://www.modbee.com/reports/levy/stories/20010716_01.html Condit family men are no strangers to criticism By LISA MILLEGAN BEE STAFF WRITER (Published: Monday, July 16, 2001) For more than 30 years, the Condit name has been familiar, first in Ceres, later in Stanislaus County. And long before the world ever heard of the relationship between Rep. Gary Condit and missing intern Chandra Levy, the men of the family received attention for triumphs and troubles. They include a politically active police officer, a repeat criminal offender, a congressman, a Baptist minister and an aide to the governor. No Condit family members could be reached for comment on the history, though the congressman's spokesman said last week that they are holding up under the recent controversy. "I'm sure this has been painful to all of them," chief of staff Mike Lynch said. "It's a strong family, and a fundamentally sound group of people." It is also a family that has faced controversies before, as chronicled in decades of articles in The Bee archives. Burl Condit, Gary's older brother, is a longtime Modesto police officer who served on the Ceres school board and ran twice, unsuccessfully, for Stanislaus County sheriff. Over the years, Burl Condit, now 55, has received recognition and criticism. Early in his career, he was named law enforcement Officer of the Year by the Modesto Civitan Club, in part for capturing a man who killed a Turlock police officer. During his 1986 race for sheriff, though, he was criticized for involving his brother in his campaign. Jim Trevena, who ultimately won the job, complained that Gary Condit, then an assemblyman, was using his campaign money to fund Burl's race. Gary Condit dismissed the remarks as political rhetoric. In 1993, Burl Condit was demoted from lieutenant to sergeant for secretly giving away a police dog he claimed that he had destroyed. Two years ago, he was one of several officers involved in a controversy surrounding the improper sale of Police Department guns. Burl Condit never was charged with wrongdoing, but a report by the district attorney said he may have improperly bought as many as nine guns. The person in the Condit family most often associated with trouble has been Darrell Condit, the youngest brother. Now 49, he has been in and out of jail since at least 1968, when he was arrested on suspicion of drug sales at age 16. Over the years, he has been arrested on charges ranging from armed robbery to forgery to theft. A recent account in the New York Daily News said Darrell Condit threatened political retaliation in 1998 against an officer who stopped him in Ceres for riding his bicycle on the wrong side of the road. He had an outstanding warrant in Florida for driving under the influence at that time. "Condit told me that I was going to be in big trouble for arresting him on this warrant because his brother, Congressman Gary Condit, and his other brother, Sgt. Burl Condit, from the Modesto Police Department would get him out of this incident," the Ceres officer wrote in his report, according to the Daily News. Gary Condit, now 53, always has been the shining star of the family. He was elected to the Ceres City Council at age 23 and steadily climbed up the political ladder, serving on the county Board of Supervisors, then in the state Assembly -- and finally going to Congress. He has enjoyed popularity among voters in his conservative district, who have appreciated his prompt service and his public statements that he does not drink or smoke. But he, too, has received his share of criticism. In 1988, the California Journal, a magazine of state government and politics, portrayed the Ceres Democrat as having a double life. The article, based on anonymous sources, said Condit acted the part of a solid family man in his home district but was something different in the capital -- "a flamboyant party boy who uses his prestige as an assemblyman to fuel his busy social life." Condit adamantly disputed the article and said, after The Bee reported the Journal's report, that the magazine "has always been inaccurate." A year later, he told The Bee that he was the target of "yellow journalism" and "the cheapest kind of innuendo." Through the ups and downs, the Rev. Adrian Condit, the family patriarch, has always supported his sons. During a 1985 interview with The Bee, Gary Condit praised his father for being a role model. "He encouraged us to always stand by each other and stand by your commitments," he said. A chaplain at Memorial Medical Center for nearly 20 years, Rev. Condit has had a strong commitment to God and family. His commitment to the ministry was the reason the family moved to Ceres from Oklahoma in 1967. He served as pastor of Village Chapel Free Will Baptist Church in Ceres for 16 years. Once, shortly after he arrived at the church, Rev. Condit wondered if he would have to leave the ministry because of his youngest son's troubles with the law. He

[CTRL] Sunday Silence
-Caveat Lector- Sunday Silence By Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman Washington, D.C. politics revolve around issues related to corporate power -- from trade agreements to the minimum wage, from environmental protection to antitrust enforcement. It stands to reason that conversations about politics in Washington naturally touch on these corporate power concerns, though of course many discussants may not talk about them in terms of corporate power. Or at least that is what would seem to be natural. In the case of the Sunday morning political talk shows, however, it turns out that exactly the opposite is the case. The environment, labor rights, corporate welfare, the corporate crime epidemic and victims' right to sue corporate bullies go virtually unmentioned on the Sunday talk shows. A new report issued by our colleagues Justin Elga and George Farah finds that topics loosely related to corporate power make up only 4 percent of the discussion topics on the talk shows. [see http://www.essentialaction.org/spotlight/report/index.html] Elga and Farah's conclusions are based on a review of every transcript of Meet the Press, Face the Nation, The Mclaughlin Group, and This Week aired between June 1995 and June 1996 and during the last six months of 1999. The report also highlights the shows' near total exclusion of newsmaker guests from the ranks of labor, environmental, consumer, anti-corporate globalization or other public interest groups. The shows' almost exclusive preference is for presidential candidates, high administration officials or Congressional leaders -- though former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed was a frequent guest when he headed that right-wing lobby. Horserace politics dominates the political gabfests, with corporate power shunted to the sidelines. Elga and Farah's juxtapositions of what was and was not discussed on the shows are particularly revealing: During the June 1995 - June 1996 period, they note, Colin Powell was the topic of Sunday morning conversation 47 times, corporate crime 0. Travelgate was an issue 27 times, whereas corporate welfare was mentioned once in a list of Clinton's accomplishments. The shows discussed O.J. Simpson 16 times, environmental matters 0. They talked about the Christian right 9 times, but never about consumer issues such as bank charges, phone charges, HMO abuses. ... Roundtable pundits argued about Oliver Stone's Nixon on 2 occasions but never discussed renewable energy, redlining or blockbusting. The shows never even mentioned the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, or foreign aid, but one show made the weather, complete with a guest from the National Weather Service, the center of discussion. Only a single program, This Week, so much as discussed the telecommunications bill and media mergers, which relate closely to the owners of these Sunday programs. In the first six months of 1999, they report, Aside from the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, the most discussed issue concerning corporate power was HMOs and a Patient Bill of Rights, ranked 26, well after Ken Starr, the Middle East peace process, the controversial Brooklyn art exhibit, Egypt Air Flight 990 and Jesse Ventura. The only other issues concerning corporate power discussed during the second half of 1999 were free trade with China and the Microsoft antitrust case. The Mclaughlin Group also devoted a segment of a single episode to urban sprawl. Instead of addressing consumer issues, environmental matters, corporate crime, the IMF, the WTO, labor rights or the minimum wage, shows devoted time to topics like the women's World Cup soccer victory, a moon landing tribute, Jerry Springer's possible senatorial campaign, a heat wave, Tina Brown's kickoff party for Talk Magazine, mail order brides, father's day, and football player Reggie White's religious views. Elga and Farah don't have an answer for why this state of affairs is so, but they permit themselves some speculation. Is it possible, they ask, that the silence on corporate power issues is related to the shows' sponsorship by the likes of General Electric and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM)? The shows' failed to mention -- let alone discuss -- that in 1996 ADM pled guilty to criminal price-fixing charges and agreed to what was at the time the largest antitrust fine ever. The ADM plea made banner headlines in the print press. Did the company's close ties to the Sunday shows have anything to do with their silence? Is the Mclaughlin Group really likely to talk critically about GE -- say, about the company's controversial effort to block cleanup of the Hudson River of toxic PCBs -- given General Electric's sponsorship? On the whole, the Sunday shows are excruciating to watch. They are full of bombast and self-interested posturing. They are the stuff of self-parody. Their national ratings are miniscule. But the talk shows are watched by journalists and policymakers in Washington, and they work to frame news

The charts for three prominent mideast leaders are especially afflicted: Ariel Sharon, Jordan's Abdullah II, and Bashar al-Asad, President of Syria.

Comparing the geo transits 14 August 2001 to Sharon's geo radix note trans Mars conjunct his natal Saturn while transiting Jupiter squares natal Jupiter. Trans Venus conj natal Pluto. (Aspects described here are exact to within 56 arc minutes.) The same transits, compared to Abdullah II radix, reveal trans Uranus conj natal Mercury, trans Node quincunx natal Saturn, trans Saturn quincunx his natal Neptune, trans Sun in opposition to his natal Mercury while trans Mars is in an exact trine aspect to his Node (mean ascending lunar node, natal). Quincunx = 150deg aspect which can be quite nasty. The natal chart of President Bashar al-Asad is also under transiting planetary siege 14 August 2001. Transiting Mars will be in square (quadrature) aspect to his natal Sun. Trans Saturn will be quincunx his natal Mars while simultaneously in square aspect to his natal Saturn. Transiting Pluto will be square natal Saturn. Trans Venus will exactly trine his natal Mars. (An EXACT trine aspect is potentially very dangerous, particularly when the transiting body is in retrograde motion.) The transiting Moon contributes additional weight to the afflictions. It will oppose Sharon's natal Saturn while being simultaneously in square aspect to Bashar al-Asad's natal Sun and quincunx his natal Neptune. The transiting factors, 14 August 2001, exacerbate the conflicts seen when the nativity of Sharon is compared to those of King Abdullah II and President Bashar al-Asad: Sharon Node square Uranus, Bashar al-Asad; Sharon Mars quincunx Jupiter, Bashar al-Asad; Sharon Node quincunx Mars, Bashar al-Asad; Sharon Saturn square Sun, Bashar al-Asad.

[CTRL] The Wired Left Awakens
-Caveat Lector- [See website for embedded links.] July 12, 2001 The Wired Left Awakens http://ojr.usc.edu/content/story.cfm?request=607 AlterNet leads a resurgence of progressive news sites By J.D. Lasica, OJR Senior Columnist Will a handful of big corporations control virtually all the news published on the Internet? On some days it certainly appears that way, especially in light of the report last month that four companies control half of all the traffic on the Web. The prospects for independent content sites seem grim today, what with Salon running low on cash and the zines Feed and Suck closing up shop. But one voice of grassroots independent journalism has recently begun to thrive. More surprising still, its point of view offers a decidedly left-of-center tilt. The secrets of AlterNet's success? It's not out to make money. And it's riding a wave of public anger about the Bush administration's less-than-compassionate policies on the environment, energy, civil rights and other issues that tend to send progressives into a frothy lather. While the right has long ruled the Net by dominating message boards, polls and peer-to-peer sites like FreeRepublic (see my column last fall on conservative news sites), the political left has been comparatively silent. That may be changing. Don Hazen, AlterNet's executive editor, says the site's traffic has soared 500 percent since President Bush took office, in much the same way that conservative sites and publications flourished under Clinton. The site now attracts about 200,000 unique visitors and gets 1.6 million page views a month numbers akin to Suck's and higher than Feed's compared with 40,000 visitors nine months ago. The conservative slant of Bush's administration has been a Godsend for us, and for other left-leaning organizations, says Hazen, former publisher of Mother Jones magazine. The left wakes up and smells the coffee Other left-leaning news sites have also begun to make Net denizens sit up and take notice: TomPaine.com, funded by the non-profit Florence Fund, publishes commentaries and stories on subjects overlooked by the mainstream media. The site runs ads on the op-ed page of the New York Times on topics like the drug war and welfare reform. Workingforchange.com, a slick, left-leaning news and links site, was launched in spring 2000. It's run by a shoe-string staff and owned by the do-gooder long-distance telephone company Working Assets. The CommonDreams news service offers breaking news and views for the progressive community. This abbreviated list doesn't include online magazines that publish original Web content like Mother Jones, The American Prospect and The Nation, advocacy groups like CorpWatch, publications like Grist Magazine or The Black World Today, and organizations like the ACLU, Greenpeace and Rainforest Action Network. AlterNet, which launched on the Web in 1998, is a branch of the Independent Media Institute, a not-for-profit public interest media company in San Francisco. Originally called the Institute for Alternative Journalism, IMI was formed in 1983 by a group of alternative-newspaper editors as a syndication service for weeklies, and it continues to do so today, with 160 papers using stories written for the service. Recalls Hazen: Several years ago we realized we had all this great content, and it just made sense to make it available to the public on the Web. The early versions of AlterNet had a funky design, but the site underwent a major overhaul on May 29. The result? A more sophisticated look and back-end functionality (discussion boards, searches, article purchases) powered by RealImpact, a division of Seattle's RealNetworks that has provided online technical services at cost to progressive organizations since March 1998. AlterNet relies on 300 different sources for its content offerings some from publications like Salon or The Nation, others written by staffers or free-lancers. Of its $600,000 annual budget, a third comes from syndication income and much of the remainder from foundation grants. The syndication arrangement is simple enough: Client newspapers select the stories they want through an online selection process and pay a modest fee (say, 10 cents a word). AlterNet shares half the revenue with the writer, who retains all publication rights. The stories also appear on AlterNet's Web site. The site has an executive editor, creative director, managing editor, a senior editor/staff writer, and two part-time writers. Last month AlterNet reorganized its content and broadened its reach to concentrate on five hot-button news categories: the drug war, globalization, health and the environment, human rights in the United States and the concentration of media ownership. The death of content sites While part of the site's success is driven by users seeking an alternative to the conservative political headwinds, AlterNet also benefits from the dwindling number of free-standing content

Ourcurrent president, while continuing the same misguided policy towards Serbs,does it in a "humble way." Just as he promised in his election campaign. Mr.Bush is replacing his non-existent foreign policy with blackmail andextortion,e.g. exerting "pressure". Only, when he and his European allies succeeded inthis less than noble action - they decided not honor the deal.

According to the Albanians, the measures suggested cannot stop the civil war. So, further negotiations are being called into question. Availing themselves of the truce, separatists are virtually taking control of the countrys various regions, keeping government forces out. The same picture could be seen at the final stage of the conflict in Kosovo. NATO has been too mild with terrorists and Albanian extremists, says Ljupco Georgievski, Macedonias prime minister. What is going on around the Albanian militants represents the worst flirting by the international community with terrorist groups we have ever seen.

[CTRL] WP: Toxic Chemical Review Process Faulted Scientists on EPA Advisory Panels Often Have Conflicts of Interest, GAO Says
-Caveat Lector- http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A59494-2001Jul13?language=printer Toxic Chemical Review Process Faulted Scientists on EPA Advisory Panels Often Have Conflicts of Interest, GAO Says By Eric Pianin Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, July 16, 2001; Page A02 Scientists and experts who advise the Environmental Protection Agency on a broad range of regulations governing toxic chemicals and air and water quality frequently have ties to the affected industries or other conflicts of interest, according to a new government study. The General Accounting Office report found serious deficiencies in the EPA's procedures for preventing conflicts of interest and ensuring a proper balance of views among members of Science Advisory Board panels. For example, four of the 13 panel members who studied the cancer risks of the toxic chemical 1,3-butadiene in 1998 had worked for chemical companies or industry-affiliated research organizations -- including one who had worked for a company that manufactured 1,3-butadiene, according to the report. The GAO found similar problems on three other cancer-risk assessment panels in recent years. In one case, seven of 17 advisory board members worked for chemical companies or for industry-affiliated research organizations. Five other panelists had received consulting or other fees from chemical manufacturers. The regulatory process benefits from scientific and technical knowledge, expertise and competencies of panel members, the report stated. However, the work of fully competent peer review panels can be undermined by allegations of conflict of interest and bias. The study, requested by Rep. Henry A. Waxman (Calif.), ranking Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee, is scheduled to be released today. The GAO review comes at a time of growing concern about industry's influence over government rule-making and regulations. The American people expect decisions that affect environmental and public health regulations to be based on unbiased science, Waxman said, but this GAO study reveals polluting industries are in a position to influence panel findings. The director of the EPA's Science Advisory Board staff generally agreed with the report's findings and recommendations and pledged to improve operations and procedures, according to the GAO report. A spokesman for EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman said late Friday she had not seen the report and declined to comment. The Science Advisory Board was established by Congress in 1978 to provide independent scientific and engineering advice to EPA administrators on the technical basis for EPA regulations. The board often convenes peer review panels to assess the scientific and technical rationales underlying current or proposed EPA regulations and policies. By law, the panels must be fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented, and the advice should reflect members' independent judgment, without improper influences from special interests. Earlier this year, Greenpeace and the Center for Health, Environment and Justice, two environmental groups, complained about the makeup of a subcommittee of an EPA scientific advisory panel assessing the health threats of the chemical dioxin. About one-third of the 21 panel members were scientists and scholars who have worked as paid consultants to the chemical industry. According to the GAO report, EPA officials have failed to provide for adequate determinations of conflicts of interest when panels are formed and do not obtain sufficient information to evaluate conflicts of interest. The report said the EPA also fails to obtain appropriate information on financial disclosure forms, fails to review disclosure forms in a timely fashion and fails to adequately disclose potential conflicts of interest to the public. Although the GAO did not assess whether the makeup of the panels affected the deliberations, the 1,3-butadiene panel recommended downgrading the significance of exposure to the synthetic chemical compound that is used in manufacturing synthetic rubber and nylon. Based on studies that show high rates of leukemia in exposed workers, an EPA senior staff scientist had recommended that 1,3-butadiene be classified as a known human carcinogen.

[CTRL] The Media Is the Mess
-Caveat Lector- The Media Is the Mess http://www.consortiumnews.com/2001/071601a.html By Robert Parry July 17, 2001 The belated discovery that George W. Bush's campaign applied two disparate standards for counting overseas ballots in Florida liberal for Bush strongholds and stringent for counties carried by Al Gore underscores again the huge advantage that the well-funded conservative news media gives to the Republicans. By having a powerful media of its own from TV networks to nationwide talk radio, from news magazines to daily newspapers the conservative movement can give its stamp to events during the crucial few days when the public is paying attention. By the time, the truth comes out if it does it's often too late to change the outcome. Now, eight months after the razor-thin Florida vote and nearly six months into Bush's presidency The New York Times reveals that a key moment of Election 2000 came when the Bush campaign labeled Gore unpatriotic for insisting that Florida's law be followed in counting overseas absentee votes, including those from military personnel. Immediately, the Gore-as-unpatriotic charge was picked up by the conservative press and echoed on the TV talk shows. The mainstream press joined the stampede. Gore also faced accusations of hypocrisy for seeking hand recounts for ballots kicked out by vote-counting machines while urging that legal requirements be met for overseas ballots. Sen. Joe Lieberman, Gore's running mate, was verbally bludgeoned on NBC's Meet the Press until he agreed that the overseas military votes should be given the benefit of the doubt. The Bush strategy opened the door for Republicans to press for lax standards on overseas votes in pro-Bush counties while enforcing narrow rules for pro-Gore counties, a six-month New York Times investigation found. The result was that about 680 questionable ballots were counted that would have been rejected under the terms of Florida's election statute. Those overseas ballots lacked required postmarks, were postmarked after Election Day, were mailed inside the United States, were cast by voters who had already voted, were missing signatures or contained other irregularities. Meanwhile, hundreds of ballots with similar flaws in pro-Gore counties were thrown away. It could not be determined exactly how many votes Bush gained from the disparate standards used to count flawed ballots. But the Times reported that a statistical analysis of the 680 questionable ballots indicated that Bush probably netted about 292 votes, meaning that his official victory margin of 537 votes would have been trimmed to 245 votes if those ballots had not been counted. [NYT, July 15, 2001] Adding the Tallies That finding combined with newspaper analyses of Florida ballots that were kicked out by voting machines but that indicated a presidential choice means that Gore most likely would have won the state and thus the presidency if a statewide recount had been conducted and the flawed overseas ballots had been excluded. The Miami Herald and USA Today reported that Gore registered a net gain of 682 if so-called overvotes had been checked by hand. That number alone would be more than enough to erase Bush's 537-vote margin, but the newspapers made other adjustments to the tally as they incorporated uncounted ballots that showed intent of the voters. The newspapers concluded that Gore would have won by 242 if ballots with multiple indentations, indicating a malfunctioning machine, were counted. Gore's margin would have swelled to 332 if ballots with indentations only for president were counted. If all indented ballots were thrown out, however, Bush would have won by margins of 407 or 152, depending on whether ballots with hanging chads or only fully punched through chads were counted, the newspapers reported. The New York Times' finding suggests that if the faulty overseas votes were disqualified, trimming Bush's lead to 245 votes, Gore would have won under three of the four standards for counting ballots. Additionally, USA Today reported that Gore lost about 15,000 to 25,000 votes from ballot errors that resulted from confusing ballot designs in some counties. In another move that cut into Gore's tally, Gov. Jeb Bush's administration improperly purged hundreds of voters predominately African-American after falsely identifying them as felons. According to exit polls, Gore carried the African-American vote by a 9-to-1 margin, so the phony felon purge predictably hit him hardest. Now, with The New York Times' findings, it is even clearer that Gore was the choice of Florida voters as well as the U.S. electorate which favored him by more than a half million ballots. Nevertheless, the American people ended up with George W. Bush in the White House. Media Edge The will of the American voters was overturned in large part because the Bush campaign and its conservative media allies

That's really rich. Mr. Milosevic has about as much chance of getting a fair trial from this court as he had of defeating NATO in an air war. In fact there is a lot to be said for Mr. Milosevic's claim that the tribunal is "false tribunal, and indictments false indictments." When the former Serb leader said "This trial's aim is to produce false justification for the war crimes of NATO, committed in Yugoslavia," he was, in fact, just echoing the words of Michael Scharf, the man who wrote the original tribunal statute for then U.S. secretary of state Madeleine Albright. Mr. Scharf wrote in October, 1999, in the Washington Post that "the tribunal was widely perceived within the government as little more than a public relations device and as a potentially useful policy tool." He said that indictments would serve "to isolate offending leaders diplomatically, strengthen the hand of their domestic rivals and fortify the international political will to employ economic sanctions or use force." Treating the tribunal as a propaganda arm of NATO is, in fact, the only way to make sense of its violation of the principles of judicial impartiality. The indictment against Mr. Milosevic was issued on May 22, 1999, even as NATO's bombs were falling on Yugoslavia; most of the charges, concerning actions alleged to have occurred after the bombing had commenced, relied on undisclosed evidence supplied by none other than NATO itself. This in the middle of a war! An impartial prosecutor should have viewed such evidence as questionable. If there were an honest tribunal in The Hague, Mr. Milosevic would not be the only government leader on trial. NATO's leaders, from Bill Clinton and Jean Chrétien to Tony Blair and Jose Maria Aznar committed what the Nuremberg judgment called "the supreme international crime" -- resorting to war.

[CTRL] The state is more powerful than ever
-Caveat Lector- http://pilger.carlton.com/print/67484 The state is more powerful than ever; the view that big business alone shapes the new world order is wrong. by John Pilger :09 Jul 2001 There is a view fashionable in the media that the world is being taken over by huge multinational corporations, accountable to no one. Governments are reduced to playing the role of servile lackeys to big business, Noreena Hertz, the dissident financier, wrote in these pages recently. Even the US government has surrendered state power, she says, citing George W Bush's shameful obsequiousness to big energy corporations. For all the vivid examples of modern corporate power, such as the annual income of Motorola being equal to the annual income of Nigeria's 118 million people, it is folly to believe that big business on its own is shaping the new world order. This allows the argument against globalisation to be depoliticised, reducing it to single issues of ethical trading and codes of conduct, and inviting its co-option. Above all, it misses the point that state power in the west is accelerating. Globalisation does not mean the impotence of the state, wrote the Russian economist and activist Boris Kagarlitsky, but the rejection by the state of its social functions in favour of repressive ones, irresponsibility on the part of governments and the ending of democratic freedoms. The illusion of a weakened state is enticing: indeed, it is the smokescreen thrown up by the designers of modern, centralised power. Margaret Thatcher concentrated executive power while claiming the opposite; Tony Blair has done the same. The European project is all about extending the frontiers of the state. Totalitarian China has embraced the free market while consolidating its vast state apparatus. The autocracies in Singapore and Malaysia achieved the same while growing stronger. (Not surprisingly, Blair is an admirer of Singapore.) It is the American state that surpasses them all, and it has never been more powerful. The notion that George Bush is obsequious to big energy corporations (and ought to be ashamed of himself) is naive. Big oil, like big weapons manufacturing and big agribusiness, has always been as one with the occupants of the White House and the US government; they are interchangeable. That is the American way. Without government patronage, some of the greatest corporations would fail. The Cargill Corporation, which dominates the world trade in food grains, would not enjoy its monopoly, were it not for years of big subsidies to American agribusiness, as well as US government policies that used food aid to subvert the agriculture of developing countries. It was the triumphant American state that fashioned the present global economy at Bretton Woods in 1944, so that its military and corporate arms would have unlimited access to minerals, oil, markets and cheap labour. In 1948, the State Department's senior imperial planner, George Kennan, wrote: We have 50 per cent of the world's wealth, but only 6.3 per cent of its population. In this situation, our real job in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which permit us to maintain this position of disparity. To do so, we have to dispense with all sentimentality . . . we should cease thinking about human rights, the raising of living standards and democratisation. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were invented to implement this strategy. Their base is Washington, where they are joined by an umbilical cord to the US Treasury, a few blocks away. This is where the globalisation of poverty and the use of debt as a weapon of control was conceived. When John Maynard Keynes, the British representative at Bretton Woods, proposed a tax on creditor nations, designed to prevent poor countries falling into perpetual debt, he was told by the Americans that if he persisted, Britain would not get its desperately needed war loans. More than half a century later, the gap between the richest 20 per cent of humanity and the poorest 20 per cent has doubled; and structural adjustment programmes have secured an indebted imperium greater than the British empire at its height. The danger of the moderate view, which refuses to contemplate the sheer rapacity of western state power, is that it can be co-opted. The World Bank and the IMF, now under siege as never before, have devised their survival tactics in relation to this. Overnight, the IMF, the greatest of the loan sharks, has begun to sound like an institutional Mother Teresa, with a mission to defeat poverty. Together with the World Bank, and the World Trade Organisation, it now promotes dialogue with moderate non-governmental organisations (NGOs) opposed to globalisation, anointing them as serious opponents, in contrast to the hooligans on the streets. Clare Short's Department for International Development employs this tactic, co-opting leading NGOs for consultation, even commissioning them to contribute to

[CTRL] NewsMax: Secret Foster Witness Speaks after 7-Year Silence
-Caveat Lector- NewsMax.com Monday, July 16, 2001 1:02 p.m. EDT Secret Foster Case Witness Speaks Out After 7-Year Silence It's been seven years since the man who discovered Vincent Foster's lifeless body in a Virginia Park was interviewed by Whitewater investigators. His explosive testimony was deemed credible by Special Counsel Robert Fiske, who sent FBI agents to his home for four separate interrogations. His bombshell account has never been refuted by investigators working for Fiske's successor, independent counsel Kenneth Starr, the Senate Banking Committee, GOP Foster case prober the late Rep. Steven Schiff, or any other government entity charged with investigating Foster's death. And if what this key witness says is true - that Vincent Foster had no gun in either hand before U.S. Park Police and the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Squad found his body eight years ago this week - then the official conclusion that Foster shot himself in Fort Marcy Park was startlingly and unequivocally wrong. To this day the man who discovered the Clinton deputy White House counsel in Fort Marcy still fears for his safety, guarding his true identity with the initials CW, the acronym for the name given to him by Fiske's Foster case probers: Confidential Witness. Saturday night, for the first time since he went public briefly in 1994, CW spoke out - in an exclusive two-hour interview with WABC Radio's John Batchelor and Paul Alexander. Also on hand was NewsMax.com's Carl Limbacher. Some highlights: ALEXANDER: Can you describe what you first saw? CW: The very first thing I saw was something white through the trees. Investigating, I saw that it was a body. So, very, very carefully, making sure that I didn't disturb anything, I went over to see what it could be. You know, I didn't have a clue who it was - I approached the body straight from his head. He was feet down on a 45-degree angle down the embankment. ALEXANDER: Was he face up? Was he face down? CW: Face straight up. Hands on each side of his body straight away. Just like he was - just laid down. ALEXANDER: Could you tell immediately that he was dead? CW: Oh, yes. There was black dried blood on his lips and his nose. Just white glazed eyes. ALEXANDER: Were the eyes open? CW: His eyes were maybe one third of the way open. ALEXANDER: So you're standing there, you see this body. What do you think at this point? CW: Well, the first thing I thought was that somebody knocked him in the head because I couldn't see any sign of any blood on his shirt and trousers. Just the blood around his mouth and his nose. ALEXANDER: So you thought he had been hit by someone? CW: I thought somebody hit him in the head. ALEXANDER: And killed him by hitting him in the head? CW: That's what I thought when I first saw it. ... I looked to see if he had something in his hands that he could defend himself with - maybe a rock or something like that. ALEXANDER: And did you find anything? CW: No. And that's why I was so adamant and so sure [that Foster had no gun]. Because I clearly looked at both hands. And they were straight down by his sides, fully extended, straight as can be, and both hands were palm up. ALEXANDER: Both hands were palm up? CW: There was zero doubt. None. Both hands were palm up. [Note: in the single Foster death scene photo released by investigators, Foster's hand is turned on its side, palm facing toward the ground, with a gun clearly visible.] ALEXANDER: When you first saw the body, did you see any gun anywhere? CW: None ... CW: Several things led me to believe he had been placed there. ALEXANDER: What was that? What made you believe that he had been placed there? CW: The embankment is very, very steep. [Fort Marcy Park] is a Civil War fort - very densely overgrown. ... The leaves were at least four to six inches deep in that area where he was lying. But the leaves from just about his waist down to the bottom of the 45-degree slope, for an area that was approximately four to five feet wide, below his body and up to just about his waist, had all been tramped down. It was as if somebody had walked back and forth at least a dozen times. ... BATCHELOR: CW, I want to take you to the body again. Let's look down at the body. You're looking down at it now. You're within a foot, two feet of the body, looking from the head to the feet? CW: My foot is about two feet from the top of his head. ... I'm leaning over and looking directly down into his face. My face is approximately three, three and a half feet from his face. BATCHELOR: And the body could not be seen from the other side of the berm? CW: No. Unless you went over the side of the berm you would never see it. BATCHELOR: You said he had a white shirt on. CW: A very expensive white shirt and a very expensive pair of pants and also a very expensive pair of shoes. BATCHELOR: Now go back to the shirt. The shirt was buttoned all the way to the top? CW: Yes, sir. BATCHELOR: And there was a

[CTRL] LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACHTUNG!
-Caveat Lector- LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACHTUNG! http://www.e-venthorizon.net/antimatter/surveillance.html by Brian Onley, antiMatter columnist July 15, 2001 Take our cameras away and only twits will have cameras... --National Covert Surveillance Association For a long time now, surveillance imaging has been a multi-billion dollar industry. Everyone from the Defense Department all the way down to the convenience store on your local street corner has gobs of cameras in plain sight. In most cases this surveillance gear has primarily been used for protection from possible theft, robbery, or my personal favorite other criminal activity. Currently though, a disturbing trend towards the use of surveillance equipment for outright spying on common people going about normal daily activities in the public community has become equivalent to a dictatorial police state something akin to what Russia and Nazi Germany experienced for so many years. The increasing use of so-called speed-trap-cameras and facial recognition systems recently in the news has a more insidious ring to it than anyone is willing to talk much about. Since this technology has been staring the general public in the face for quite awhile, it appears some feel there is not a problem using it for what borders on questionable issues of constitutionality. Further, at what point do the machinations of duly elected officials' decisions to implement public safety measures using such technology perform anything but governmental safety measures and ultimately total control? After all, paranoia in both government and the private sector has reared its ugly head in other ways, each time chipping away the gray areas around our fundamental rights and freedoms. These attempts at chipping are coming dangerously close to the ultimate removal of any personal rights for what they deem to be the greater good. This in turn leads to the question the greater good for whom and why? Legalese The form of law under which the use of these cameras falls is Search Seizure, or SS. The cameras search for your car tags or face in a crowd and then they seize your money or your freedom, or both. The pure essence of SS can be summed up as clearly warrantless and as we have seen in the past, does not legally fall under the U.S. Constitution in this particular form: Most searches occur without warrants being issued. Over the years, the courts have defined a number of situations in which a search warrant is not necessary, either because the search is per se reasonable under the circumstances or because, due to a lack of a reasonable expectation of privacy, the Fourth Amendment doesn't apply at all.1 It is the 'reasonable expectation of privacy' at issue here and what exactly defines 'reasonable expectation.' Seated within the confines of your privately owned vehicle, you are no longer within the private domain. Since you are now in public, on a public street in full view of the authorities at all times, you now have lost the constitutional rights based solely on privacy. Decisions to expand the SS process parameters were simple. What if someone was in their car on their way to commit a crime, and had a firearm in clear view on the front seat? Obviously if they were stopped by a police officer in a routine manner, the sight of the gun on the seat would allow the officer to conduct a further search of the driver and/or the vehicle without first obtaining a warrant, based solely upon the officer's judgment of the circumstances at the time. This indefinable judgment is another tidy little piece of law referred to as Probable Cause, which defines the grounds for SS: The Fourth Amendment doesn't define probable cause. Its meaning remains fuzzy. What is clear is that after 200 years of court interpretations, the affidavits submitted by police officers to judges have to identify objectively suspicious activities rather than simply recite the officer's subjective beliefs. The affidavits also have to establish more than a suspicion that criminal activity is afoot, but do not have to show proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The information in the affidavit need not be in a form that would make it admissible at trial. However, the circumstances set forth in the affidavit as a whole should demonstrate the reliability of the information.2 Of course, our patrol officers are only following guidelines passed down to them by their superiors, the result of decisions ultimately made elsewhere. In essence, the officers are only doing their job. Though both SS and probable cause have become formal policy and are designed to aid the enforcement of law, the issue which comes dangerously close to a state dictatorial power is the gradual inclusion of what constitutes the basis for Probable Cause, and hence SS. Public safety has always been the calling card for new and improved restrictions on personal liberties. Let's face it; society has changed somewhat in over 200 years. Advances in 'probable

[CTRL] Support for Klamath Farmers Grows (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Support for Klamath Farmers Grows By John Carty CNSNews.com Correspondent July 11, 2001 An on-line petition drive to support the farmers of Oregon's Klamath Basin in their battle to regain water rights that the federal government stripped away in order to protect endangered and threatened species of fish, now has more than 3,700 signatures. The Klamath Water Users Association, which is responsible for the Klamath Basin Crisis website, introduced the petition which urges immediate action to reverse a decision that the group claims interferes with [the farmers'] God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The controvery revolves around the Endangered Species Act. The Klamath Basin has been found to be the home of sucker fish and the Coho salmon, which are listed as endangered and threatened species, respectively. The basin also supplies water to over 210,000 acres of farmland, which were included in a government deal called the Klamath Project.. One thousand, four hundred families depend on this farmland for their livelihood. The irrigation gates at Klamath Lake have been closed since April 7th, shutting off the flow of water to the farmland. Furthermore, the farmers have been offered no restitution for their resulting losses, depite a ruling earlier this year in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims which stated that the government must compensate property owners if the government takes away their water sources to protect endangered fish. The Klamath Water Users Association finds the actions of the government to be reprehensible and intolerable. In its petition, addressed to political leaders ranging from the Klamath County Sheriff and Commissioners to President Bush and the U.S. Congress, the association calls for all federal government agencies to immediately cease and desist from any activities that are denying the farmers their water rights. These rights were granted to the farmers in 1902 under the Reclamation Act, in which Oregon and California ceded areas of the Klamath Basin to the federal government so they could refurbish the land in an effort to promote homesteading. Under the provisions of the act, all unappropriated water use rights in the basin were to go to the Klamath Project. The United States Bureau of Reclamation has since rescinded those rights on the grounds of protecting the fish. Because the farmers do not actually own the Klamath Basin but rather were only granted rights to its use, the law of eminent domain, which states that landowners must be compensated with the fair-market value for any land taken by the government for the public good, does not apply. Nevertheless, the farmers say they have been cheated. They call the Endangered Species Act, an unconstitutional encumbrance on the lives of local citizens all over this nation. Their petition claims that the act is used frivolously to deprive citizens of their lawful property rights, in violation of limits on federal government powers as described in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. In addition to the restoration of its water rights, the association is calling for monetary relief and assistance from Congress and the cutting off of funding for the Endangered Species Act.

[CTRL] SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE NOT INTERESTED IN DRUG SMUGGLING TIES OF NEW DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION CHIEF
-Caveat Lector- PRESS RELEASE For interviews contact: 800 556-2012 www.barryandtheboys.com July 16,2001 SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE NOT INTERESTED IN DRUG SMUGGLING TIES OF NEW DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION CHIEF An aide to Senator Patrick Leahys (D-Vt.) Senate Judiciary Committee said that the Committee is not interested in probing links to drug smugglers of Arkansas Rep. Asa Hutchinson in his confirmation hearing Tuesday to be the new head of Americas Drug Enforcement Administration. Its not our job to conduct any investigation into the matters youve brought up, Mary DeOreo told Daniel Hopsicker, author of a new book with damaging information about Hutchinson in a phone call Monday. The book, Barry the boys (MadCowPress) due out in September, documents Hutchinsons recent ties with one of Mena drug smuggler Barry Seals top operatives in the cocaine smuggling which took place while Hutchinson was US Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, encompassing Mena. Asa Hutchinson has documented recent ties with one of the principals in Barry Seal's smuggling organization, Michael Roy Fugler, that operated with impunity while numerous law enforcement officials accused Hutchinson of doing nothing to stop it, and of, in fact, protecting the operation, Hopsicker stated. Its shocking that the Senate Judiciary Committee, which must approve Hutchinsons nomination, is uninterested in the fact that Hutchinson became the marketing poster boy for a company recently taken public by a member of Seals drug ring. The book quotes Arkansas State Police Commander, Finis Duvall, whose area included Mena, as saying that on at least one occasion then-US Attorney Asa Hutchinson took care of a Mena legal entanglement for Barry Seal that has never been surfaced in the press. Duvall states the Arkansas State police didn't even try to develop a case against the Mena drug smuggling, because it was well known that it was being 'protected.' We always knew we couldn't prosecute Barry Seal, no matter what we got on him, because of the politics involved in the Western Judicial District, said the former Arkansas State Police Commander, referring to Hutchinson. Barry the boys, The CIA, the Mob, and Americas Secret History is the result of a three-year long investigation into Barry Seal, who government attorneys called the biggest drug smuggler in American history, contains revelations about Seals involvement with top officials in both major political parties, including Republican Attorney General Ed Meese, former Democratic National Chairman Charles Manatt, and Al Gore's campaign chairman Tony Coelho. According to informed sources like Miami private investigator Gary McDaniel, Every successful drug smuggling organization needs four things: Production, distribution, transportation, and protection. Did the man about to be in charge of Americas Drug War provide protection to the biggest smuggling operation in American history? Apparently, the Senate Judiciary Committee is afraid to find out. (Barry the boys, in bookstores in September, is currently available in a pre-publication release at www.barryandtheboys.com, or by calling 800.556.2012.)

[CTRL] BarryChamish: WELCOME ABOARD
-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: Barry Chamish [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Roslyn [EMAIL PROTECTED]; People: Sent: Friday, July 13, 2001 11:20 AM Subject: WELCOME ABOARD PRACTICAL IDEAS by Barry Chamish Okay, I believe you but what can I do? Even if you're right, there's nothing we can do to change things. Fine, you identified the problem, what's the solution? Yes, there are ways. With lots of flair and imagination, we CAN change things. 1. A Law To Revoke - In November, 1993, the Rabin government passed a law retroactively legalizing meetings between Israelis and members of the PLO. Until then, such meetings were illegal treason. The law saved the likes of Shimon Peres, Yossi Beilin, Ron Pundak, Yair Hirschfeld and Uri Savir from prison for illegally meeting the PLO. Let's revoke it. From a jurisdictive point of view, we have all the high cards. Numerous legalists have explained that there is no precedent for a retroactive law protecting criminals from high crime. One can no more retroactively legalize treason than murder or rape. Many, many people have tried to have the Oslo Accord repealed because the PLO have broken its clauses thousands of times. But getting rid of an internationally sanctioned treaty is not simple. Rescinding the retroactive meeting law is, legalistically speaking, a snap. It is an unbelievably non-binding piece of legislation. A few good arguments to the Supreme Court could do the trick. And imagine the fine results after: No one, not Sharon, not Peres could meet any PLO leader until a new law was passed. And we'll fight that one as well. And best of all, the Oslo criminals could finally be prosecuted. So where are a gutsy attorney or two? 2. Get the CIA - Now that the Israeli Defence Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer has acknowledged that the CIA trained the PLO death squads, with agreement from Shimon Peres; and now that a wide range of experts have acknowledged that the CIA trained numerous PLO policemen in the fine arts of advanced snipery and sundry deadly operations, let's get the CIA and hard. Why says the American taxpayer would have agreed to foot the bill for the PLO's training in sophisticated murder techniques? Who says the CIA had any legal right to train these squads, which have murdered over 100 Jews and maimed five times that number, even with the permission of Peres? Investigate George Tenet's direct role in the mass murder of Israeli citizens. Prosecute him if he overstepped ANY law. And while you're at it, you may as well expose the further training of the PLO at Lackland Airforce Base in Texas. My sources assure me, the policemen are there right now taking courses in the slaughter of innocents. American lawyers, where are you? 3. No Place To Hide Anymore For Yoram Rubin - Yes, the State Prosecutor found a trick to drop one of the two charges against Avishai Raviv. Yes, the ploy is to delay his trial until the statute of limitations for indictment on new charges passes. So let's open a new front. Rabin's last bodyguard, Yoram Rubin, testifying to the Shamgar Commission, lied that Yigal Amir shot a bullet in his arm while he was protecting the prime minister. We have his clinical report; he got caught in his lie. Rubin testified at Amir's trial that Rabin jumped head-first into his car. We have the amateur murder film; he lied again. Rubin was the one who murdered Rabin but there's no point going for the home run ball. Let's get him on deep perjury. It's like shooting a fish in a barrel. So far, Rubin has evaded scrutiny.

I'll provide all the official records anyone could ever need to prove the charge. He must be made to know, he will not escape his crimes. Journalists, researchers, truthseekers, lawyers and the interested public, here is how to reach him. Yoram Rubin's work number is 09 8611122; fax: 8625831.

Carmi Gillon's role in the Rabin murder made front page headlines in Denmark's largest circulation newspaper this past Thursday. Simply, I exploited an opening. Gillon's appointment as the Israeli ambassador to Denmark is causing a huge ruckus in that country. Now, of course, Danes will be Danes and the issue is his rough treatment of Arabs while head of the Shabak. Now that the Danes are in the mist of Gillonmania, let's spread the word about who Gillon REALLY is. Go to your favorite search engine and seek lists of influential Danes in all fields; journalism, academia, government, diplomacy, then copy and paste your version, the real version, of who the Danes now have as their Israeli ambassador. With enough letters floating around the country, even the princes of modern humanity in Denmark, will get the

Anyway, this has to do with Antarctica, it's kinda spooky, so I thought I'd share it with you. Joe Joe: Havent heard anything more about vostok lately. It's been hushed up. Bill: Yeh! I noticed that. When I was working with old navy divers working on Ice Harbor dam I heard an interesting story. They were in the Antartic diving in a secret location way below the ice. They wouldn't say where. They had one buddy that was deep and panicked when something came at him. Whatever it was got him. They said it was not a whale or shark because it was in a fresh water lake. Inland. These guys had been professional divers their whole life. Made me realize that these guys were either diving in Vostok or there is a similar place somewhere else in the Anartic that is secret. They said they refused to work any more at that location and the Navy flew them out debriefed and discharged them. But it was supposed to be quite close to McMurdo station and that is a long way from Vostok. I listened real good. As you know stories are what keep me going. Yeh! they were diving at the dam working for me. I was the forman. They were doing the underwater work on the new spillways. When they were out of the water decompressing I would chat with them and this story came out. Yeh! It rang my bell at the time. In light of the Vostok story it has renewed my interest in the conversation. Strange goings on at the bottom of the world. They said that the guy underwater said a few words. It's horrible I don't have a chance! and don't come down here. before he screamed. I would like to know the real story on that one. You know that these sorts of things contain only a grain of the real facts. But these guys were so serious. And they were a couple of real serious first rate people. I'm sure about the fatality they were too serious about that. Joe: The facility wasnt the McMurdo station, but somewhere else? Bill: No Lake Vostok is way up in the central part of Anartica in the region the Russians have claimed. McMurdo is on the western coastline. Somewhere close to McMurdo in fresh water. I know that there is no such known place. But I'm remembering them saying something about fresh water in caves. And that it was secret. I remember the conversation started with me talking about Ham Radio and how my favorite radio contact had been with McMurdo station on CW. These two guys were real interested.

[CTRL] NR: On Condit: A Man You Don't Know (and weren't supposed to meet)
-Caveat Lector- ...heed this description of Condit, from Willie Brown himself: That man has ice water in his veins. http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-wilcox071301.shtml A Man You Don't Know And weren't supposed to meet. By Jonathan Wilcox, former speechwriter for California Governor Pete Wilson July 13, 2001 8:55 a.m. Many people must think they know a good deal about Rep. Gary Condit, the most famous congressman they never heard of 60 days ago. But no matter how often one sees the ubiquitous television images of Condit dashing across streets, into waiting cars, or down stairways (usually with cameras and reporters in hot pursuit), that will offer no inner view into one of California's most enigmatic elected officials. While the boyish-looking 53 year old was hardly a household name, he has enjoyed a rich political life that upon examination offers a glimpse into what is happening to him now, and why it represents what is wrong with California politics. Condit has long had a reputation for being a groping lecher often seen - how shall we say it? - in the close and suggestive company of women who were not his wife. An acquaintance of mine that does occasional television punditry even let it be known that Condit once chased her around a desk and physically blocked her exit from a room. I doubt I would have ever heard the story had Chandra Levy not disappeared and her relationship with Condit revealed. I am confident, however, that if he were a Republican, his conduct would have been exposed long ago. And I am certain that if he were a Republican embroiled in similar scandal, he would have already been forced to resign. Condit has always portrayed a man of contrast: A Democrat representing a Republican-leaning district of the Central Valley. A prodigious fundraiser who gives campaign cash to charities. A Baptist minister's son who rides a Harley-Davidson and attends Pearl Jam and Rolling Stones concerts. But most of all, Condit is a classic opportunist who possesses that most priceless political commodity - a Democrat viewed as both a moderate and well versed in the Bible. This has given him untold political advantage; Democrats view him as someone who can win a marginal political district, while Republicans view him as someone they can do business with. The first group is right; the second dead wrong. Condit was elected to the California assembly in 1982, where he compiled a moderate record many issues. In 1988, he joined with four other Democrats to form a Gang of Five intending to align with Republicans and topple to Ayatollah of the Lower House himself, Speaker Willie Brown. Proving there's no honor among conspirators, some Republicans betrayed the plan, making for a veritable Bay of Pigs in the state capitol. Robbed of air cover from their temporary GOP allies, the Gang of Five was left on the beach and slaughtered. Brown himself held true to Oliver Wendell Holmes's admonition that When you strike at a king, you must kill him. He punished the turncoats, stripping them of perks and power, even moving them into cramped offices befitting their status in purgatory. Four of the gang begged forgiveness, and Brown slowly rehabilitated them. Condit refused. For the next year, he remained virtually isolated, but despite the entreaties of Republicans (and his treatment at the hands of Democrats) he didn't switch parties. This should have been a warning sign that Condit is as cold and as calculating as they come. His patience paid off in 1989 when Tony Coelho, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, resigned in disgrace. Already representing the area, Condit won the special election that followed, aided by an unprecedented absentee-ballot effort by the state Democratic party. Willie Brown could have prevented this, but didn't. Just as in Sacramento, Condit's Washington career has been marked by Republican collegiality. Recall that Rep. John Kasich, the House Budget chairman, pledged to make a personal campaign contribution to Condit, before reversing under pressure. Even the usually reliable Almanac of American Politics got it wrong, attributing Condit's popularity to his apparent lack of guile. For years, politics in California has largely been an exercise in Democrat hardball and Republican beanbag. For example, Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters have reportedly acted as a human shield for Condit on the House floor, protecting him from prying eyes and probing questions. How many seconds do you think they would tolerate a similar stonewall from the GOP? Republicans should let go of the Condit myth - that he's basically a conservative guy who is more comfortable with them than on the other side of the aisle. Rather, like the legion of women now coming forward, they should feel used and abused. Finally, they should stop waiting for a demonstration of humility or humanity from the man from Modesto and instead heed this description of Condit, from Willie Brown himself: That

Well, I guess I wasn't aware that there were Democrats who were so very comfy with the Republicans that they wanted to reward him with cash. It appears that Condit was a Democrat in name only. No wonder his Republican leaning constituents were so very happy with him. I've no idea why all this legion of women should feel used and abused. When did everybody rediscover the old Victorian idea that every woman under forty is at the mercy of every man who looks at her. Take it from me, women are every bit as rapacious as they have always been, and there are a whole group of them lying in wait for any man who has money and power, married or not. Most of them figure it's worth the chance that they just might get the guy to divorce his wife and marry them. It can work. Remember that John Lennon had a close girl friend who went away for a few days. When she got back, there was Yoko Ono.

[CTRL] DetroitNews: The Graduation Gap: Colleges' retention of blacks dismal
-Caveat Lector- http://www.detnews.com/2001/schools/0107/15/a01-247739.htm Sunday, July 15, 2001 The Detroit News. The Graduation Gap: A Detroit News Special Report Colleges' retention of blacks dismal Analysis shows just 40% of blacks graduated compared to 61% of whites in Mich. schools By Janet Vandenabeele, and Jodi Upton The Detroit News African-American students are dropping out of Michigan universities at rates far greater than whites, adrift at schools that vigorously recruited them. A Detroit News investigation of seven Michigan universities shows that among black students who were freshmen in 1994, just 40 percent got their diplomas after six years, compared to 61 percent of white students and 74 percent of Asians. We're throwing them out after taking their money and they're getting nothing out of it, said Barry Mehler, a history professor at Ferris State University, who helped start a program to keep minority students in college. We're mugging (the majority) of them, taking their money, taking their dignity. I feel like I am participating in a vast criminal conspiracy. The falloff between white and black graduation rates here raises high-impact issues, because Michigan sits in the epicenter of the national debate over affirmative action in college admissions: * The state's universities have special programs aimed at helping black students meet financial, social and academic challenges, but graduation rates for blacks haven't improved consistently over the past decade, The News found. * Universities knowingly admit students who have a high chance of failing. * Michigan has presented itself as a test case for affirmative action in higher education, but the state is no national model on how to retain black students. Experts blame a variety of reasons for high dropout rates among African-American students, from money to inadequate academic preparation to an unfriendly campus climate. A lot of students don't feel like there's a true effort to make universities diverse, said Bryan Cook, a doctoral student who advises black fraternities at the University of Michigan. They think it's a show commitment and the programs they offer are watered-down. Knowing why blacks are dropping out doesn't mean the universities are on top of the issue. It's the nature of the beast, said Lester Monts, U-M's senior vice-provost for academic affairs. We just don't have a handle on this. Most universities don't have a handle on this at all. When Mario Harper of Oak Park looks at pictures from his freshman year at Michigan State University, he realizes that a lot of African-American classmates who started with him are no longer around. There are so many who've just dropped out of sight, nowhere to be found, said Harper, an MSU senior who graduated from Shrine Catholic High School in Royal Oak. I make sure I do the best I can. I want to get rid of that stereotype of the lazy black male. But it is a lot of pressure. Better than average U-M, Michigan State and Central Michigan are the only Division I schools in Michigan whose black graduate rates are better than the national average -- which, at 39 percent, is nothing to brag about. The reason: They are the more selective, and tend to get better-prepared and better-financed students. The 10 years' worth of data analyzed by The News shows that the more selective a university is in choosing its students, the more likely its students are to graduate. That's clearly illustrated by U-M, whose admission standards are the state's toughest. Conversely, those that are less choosey about admissions have higher dropout rates. Of the seven schools studied by The News, the graduation rate for black students is highest at U-M (about 64 percent over the past decade) and lowest at Oakland University (about 22 percent). That compares to white graduation rates of 86 percent at U-M and 43 percent at Oakland University. U-M, cheered on by other Michigan universities and blue-chip corporations, currently is defending legal challenges to its admissions policy, which favors black applicants over whites and Asians with stronger academic credentials. The case is likely to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. U-M administrators and supporters say a diverse student body is crucial to the quality of education -- and to the total college experience -- of all students. Dropout figures, however, show there's not much racial diversity left, by the time students are upperclassmen. Example: When U-M freshmen began in 1993, 67 percent of the class was white and 9 percent black. By graduation, the percentage of African-American students had fallen by a third, to just 6 percent of the class. Graduation rates among black students are worse at MSU, Central, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Northern Michigan and Oakland universities. The News reviewed 10 years of graduation rates at NCAA Division I schools, because those are the only ones for which national rates are kept. (Wayne
[CTRL] U.N. to rule over America? (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- This is a WorldNetDaily printer-friendly version of the article which follows. To view this item online, visit http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?23642 Sunday, July 15, 2001 SUNDAY QA U.N. to rule over America? Geoff Metcalf interviews journalist, author William Jasper on global tyranny Editor's note: Ask someone what globalism means and you are likely to get answers ranging from world trade to world peace to I don't know. Any suggestion that it amounts to world government or tyranny brings with it the risk of being pegged as a conspiracy nut. Yet, there is clear and mounting evidence that a handful of organizations - most notably the United Nations - are actively working to diminish U.S. sovereignty and the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens in order to promote an ever-increasing level of global governance. Today, WorldNetDaily staff writer and talk-show host Geoff Metcalf talks with journalist and author William Jasper, senior editor for The New American magazine. Jasper's previous book, Global Tyranny, focused on the goals, objectives and actions of the United Nations. Now, in The United Nations Exposed, he continues to focus on the primary mechanism of would-be global controllers and what they have been up to since 1992, when Global Tyranny was first published. Metcalf's daily streaming radio show can be heard on TalkNetDaily weekdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time. By Geoff Metcalf © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com Question: You wrote Global Tyranny in 1992. What have you added that wasn't covered in Global Tyranny? Answer: Unfortunately, a great deal because a lot has happened in those last eight or nine years. In fact, far more than had happened in the previous 40 years. I've been covering the United Nations for 25 years now and at many summits - including the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and the International Criminal Court Summit in Rome and the 50th Anniversary and the Millennium Summit and all those things - and many of the things we warned about in Global Tyranny have come, or are rapidly coming, to fruition. When I went to the Millennium Summit last September in New York, the big word on everyone's lips, as it has been for the past several years, is empowerment ... empowering ... empower. That's the word you hear. They are talking about empowering the United Nations with vast legislative, judicial and executive powers, backed up by military and police force. Q: Ultimately what they are trying to create is a global legislative body with a for-real military to back it up. A: That's right. With the executive, and now with the push on for the International Criminal Court, a full judiciary that claims jurisdiction over individuals - not just the World Court for adjudicating disputes. Q: Bill, for over a decade now, I've been warning listeners and readers that we spend a lot of time itching and moaning about all this bad legislation that keeps coming down the pike, but the way our freedoms and liberty are going to be attacked isn't going to be from legislation but from international treaties. And now, we're seeing it happen. From the International Criminal Court treaty to this gun-control stuff. A: And, in July, they are going to be having the United Nations Summit on small arms. We first warned about this about eight years ago in The New American magazine - actually a little before that, but in 1994, they had the first big summit. As usual, as they are getting their ducks lined up, in '94 they did it as a sub-rosa conference. It wasn't really publicized. And when they came out with their proposal - their report in 1994 - they kept it very quiet and only a little bit of it leaked out. I tried to get a hold of the conference report and I contacted the rabateur for the summit and he said, No, no - you'll have to go to your own State Department. So I went to the State Department and they said, Oh no - you'll have to go back to the U.N. They kept giving us that run around. Q: Did you eventually get it? A: Yes. But here was a report on the small arms conference - this was back in '94, seven years ago - and it's taken them that long to get it all lined up to where we are going to have this big open summit on small arms where the push is really on for global gun control. We were able, back in '94, to eventually squeeze out a copy of that initial report and start alerting people. And when we first did that, some of our readers who were members of the NRA would either call up or write to the NRA and say, Did you know this was happening? Q: And what was their response? A: The first response from the NRA, and from many other gun rights advocates was, Oh, that's nonsense. There is nothing like that happening at the U.N. Fortunately, now, the NRA has it on their front cover. Q: They finally got the memo. Except for fund raising, they don't move too fast. A: This is what people need to
[CTRL] NYT: U.S. Opposes Plan for Financing of Clean Energy Over Fossil Fuel
-Caveat Lector- Saturday July 14 08:30 AM EDT U.S. Opposes Plan for Financing of Clean Energy Over Fossil Fuel By JOSEPH KAHN The New York Times WASHINGTON, July 13 #151; The Bush administration plans to oppose an international drive to phase out fossil fuel subsidies and increase financing for nonpolluting energy sources worldwide, administration officials said today. The proposals are contained in a report commissioned by the Group of 8 industrial nations, which will hold its annual summit meeting in Genoa, Italy, next week. The proposals would commit rich nations to help one billion people around the world get their power from renewable energy sources, like wind, water and the sun. The White House says its opposition to the proposals is based on a desire to let the marketplace, rather than government, decide how quickly renewable energy sources are adopted worldwide. But critics say it is yet another instance of the Bush administration's placing the interest of oil and gas companies ahead of the drive to reduce global warming. That debate notwithstanding, the administration's decision #151; along with objections today by Canadian officials, who also oppose elements of the report #151; could prevent the G-8 from endorsing the proposals. The group usually works by consensus, and proposals are generally not adopted if any members object. European leaders had hoped to use the summit meeting to jump-start talks on global warming and to salvage what they could of the Kyoto Protocol, the treaty to fight global warming, which the Bush administration also opposes. Some European officials and environmental groups viewed the report by the G-8 task force as a major rallying point. A final draft copy of the report calls on rich nations to remove incentives and other supports for environmentally harmful energy technologies. It also encourages them to shift the priorities of international lending agencies, like the World Bank, to support more clean energy projects in poor countries. People who helped prepare the report said one important goal was to persuade wealthy nations to stop promoting fossil fuel projects in the developing world, a step that could reduce sales of power plants, pipelines, drilling equipment and other goods used in producing energy from oil and coal. The effort is directly related to fighting global warming. The task force recommended that the G-8 nations use their public financing leverage with national and international lending institutions to support more clean energy projects. A Bush administration official said the United States did not support the report even though the high-profile task force rewrote it to reflect some American objections. The task force included a number of government officials as well as leaders of multinational businesses and environmental groups. Co-chairmen of the group were Corado Clini, Italy's top environmental official, and Mark Moody Stuart, chairman of the oil giant Royal Dutch Shell. A draft copy of the report was provided to The New York Times by people who support its goals and who want to call attention to the administration's opposition. While the administration supports the idea of expanding use of renewable energy sources, it does not favor the task force's emphasis on government-to-government financing, the administration official said. He said the goal of having one billion people rely on clean energy sources within a decade was a target that had no analytical basis. While we are committed to expanding the use of renewables, there was a sense that this task force was more focused on government funding #151; throwing money at the problem, the official said. We are more interested in looking at how to leverage private sector efforts. He said the final communiqué of the summit meeting next week was likely to include language that supports the spread of clean energy even if the report is not endorsed. President Bush announced in the spring that the United States had no intention of meeting targets set in the Kyoto treaty. By rejecting the task force's recommendations, President Bush is once again undermining any attempt to take serious action on global warming, said Daphne Wysham, a fellow with the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington. The institute and Friends of the Earth, an environmental organization, did a study that found that the export promotion agencies of rich nations, like the Export-Import Bank of the United States, are the world's largest public backers of fossil fuels, the main causes of global warming. The credit agencies supported $115 billion in such projects in the five years through 1999, the study said. About two billion people on this planet are not served by electricity, and the most cost effective approach for them is often solar or biomass, not fossil fuels, said Dan Reicher, who served on the G-8 task force as a Clinton administration official. But it takes real targets #151; numerical goals #151; if we
[CTRL] Chicago Police Confiscate Registered Guns (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- FWD thanks to Larry: Excerpt: Thanks to a ruling by a liberal federal judge, the CAGE unit (Chicago Anti Gun Efforcement) now has the name of every single person in the United States who, since 1992, lawfully purchased more than one handgun in the period of a week. The CAGE unit also has all the makes, models and serial numbers of those guns. In essence, the Chicago Police Department is now registering guns and gun owners nationwide. http://www.isra.org/indexa.shtml It Has Started! Illinois Begins to Confiscate Registered Guns The Chicago Police Department and the Illinois State Police have teamed up to make good on Mayor Daley's pledge that, if it were up to him, nobody would have a gun. Daley and his elite CAGE unit are apparently taking advantage of gun privacy loopholes to pinpoint certain individuals for inclusion in the confiscation program. The ISRA is following up on leads in one case that has distrubing implications. An elderly first-generation Chicago resident was recently paid a visit by an Illinois State Police trooper. After asking to come inside the man's home, the trooper asked if the man owned a gun - to which he replied yes. The trooper then directed the individual to surrender the firearm. The man complied with the officer's demand and the trooper left with the gun. And the story gets better... The gun in question was purchased legally by the man in the 1970s shortly after he became a U.S. citizen. When Chicago's infamous gun registration scheme went into effect in the early 1980s, the man registered the firearm as per the requirement. However, over the years, the fellow apparenlty forgot to re-register the firearm, and forgot to renew his Illinois FOID Card. So...what does this all mean? In the last edition of The Illinois Shooter, we reported on the activities of a shady taskforce known as the Chicago Anti Gun Efforcement (CAGE) unit. This elite squad, operated jointly by the Illinois State Police, the Chicago Police Department, and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, supposedly exists to identify illegal gunrunners. However, information gained by the ISRA makes it clear that the CAGE unit is targeting law-abiding citizens, not criminal gunrunners. Thanks to a ruling by a liberal federal judge, the CAGE unit now has the name of every single person in the United States who, since 1992, lawfully purchased more than one handgun in the period of a week. The CAGE unit also has all the makes, models and serial numbers of those guns. In essence, the Chicago Police Department is now registering guns and gun owners nationwide. The ISRA has also learned that the CAGE unit has compiled a list of families where more than one person in that family holds a FOID card. Acting on that information, the CAGE unit is now contacting gun shops where those families have shopped, and is illegally registering all guns purchased by those families. Now, it appears that the CAGE unit is scrubbing Chicago's gun registration list against the list of FOID card holders. Indications are that folks who have let their registrations and FOIDs lapse will have their guns confiscated. We have to wonder how long it will be until state troopers show up at the doors to confiscate the guns of non-Chicago residents who have let their FOIDs expire. More later as this story develops.

[CTRL] Selling Out America
-Caveat Lector- U.S. Delegates May Be Selling Out America at U.N. Anti-gun Conference Lawrence Auster Friday, July 13, 2001 http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/7/13/161033.shtml As NewsMax readers were warned in a previous article, the regular U.S. delegates to the United Nations small arms conference are failing to provide firm support for Undersecretary of State John Bolton's principled position against global gun control. Instead, according to observer sources at the U.N., the U.S. delegation is looking for compromise language with the enemies of freedom. Bolton's powerful speech on Monday is thus turning out to be, not America's bottom line against a U.N. grab for power, but only the opening bid in negotiations that could result in a radical Program of Action directly threatening gun owners' rights in the United States. Behind Closed Doors At issue is a document with the incredible title Draft Program of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects. Delegates are meeting this week and next - in closed-door sessions - to hammer out a final agreement. Section II, Paragraph 20 of this remarkable document states that the member nations undertake [t]o seriously consider the prohibition of unrestricted trade and private ownership of small arms and light weapons specifically designed for military purposes. Let us understand first of all that the phrase designed for military purposes is a mere fig leaf. According to the definitions provided in the foundational reports for the conference, weapons of military design would cover 90 percent of hunting rifles as well as handguns. We should also take no comfort from the fact that the signatories are agreeing only to consider a prohibition on private weapons. As Undersecretary Bolton pointed out to the press on Monday, you start with an agreement to consider something, and the next thing you know, you find yourself in a binding treaty. Accordingly, Bolton declared that the United States would not sign any Program of Action containing such language, or any other language that would violate America's own Constitution. In his Monday speech in the General Assembly chamber, Bolton also rejected Section II, Paragraph 13 of the Draft Program of Action, in which the member nations undertake to supply small arms and light weapons only to governments, either directly or through entities authorized to procure arms on behalf of governments. The undersecretary insisted on America's right to transfer weapons to non-state actors resisting tyrannical governments, such as the Nicaraguan Contras or domestic opponents of Saddam Hussein. Because such freedom fighters by definition are not part of the government, Paragraph 13 would forbid America's giving arms to them, just as it would have prohibited France's support to George Washington's rebel army during the American War of Independence. The Clinton Influence Though Bolton was crystal clear on these fundamental points, one of the problems is that after he gave his speech he went back to Washington, leaving the regular U.S. State Department delegates - who were appointed during the Clinton administration - to act on their own. Another problem is that even Bolton's courageous and articulate stand left a lot to be desired. For example, he did not object to Section II, paragraph 7, which commits the signatory nations to ensure that comprehensive and accurate records are kept for as long as possible on the manufacture, holding and transfer of small arms and light weapons within their jurisdiction. The language transfer of small arms could easily be interpreted to cover the sale of handguns, meaning that the U.S. would be required to keep permanent records on every handgun purchase in the United States. This would go directly against Attorney General John Ashcroft's assurance that information resulting from background checks on gun purchasers would not be kept on file. While Bolton's position is less than perfect, the line he has drawn against an international regime of gun control is the only thing the lovers of freedom have going for them at the moment. The White House needs to be warned against a possible sellout by the U.S. delegation.

[CTRL] NYT: How Bush Took Florida:
-Caveat Lector- How Bush Took Florida: Mining the Overseas Absentee Vote By DAVID BARSTOW and DON VAN NATTA Jr. The New York Times A six-month investigation by The Times shows that under intense pressure from Republicans, Florida officials accepted hundreds of overseas absentee ballots that failed to comply with state election laws. On the morning after Election Day, George W. Bush held an unofficial lead of 1,784 votes in Florida, but to his campaign strategists the margin felt perilously slim. They were right to worry. Within a week, recounts would erode Mr. Bush's unofficial lead to just 300 votes. With the presidency hanging on the outcome in Florida, the Bush team quickly grasped that the best hope of ensuring victory was the trove of ballots still arriving in the mail from Florida residents living abroad. Over the next 18 days, the Republicans mounted a legal and public relations campaign to persuade canvassing boards in Bush strongholds to waive the state's election laws when counting overseas absentee ballots. Their goal was simple: to count the maximum number of overseas ballots in counties won by Mr. Bush, particularly those with a high concentration of military voters, while seeking to disqualify overseas ballots in counties won by Vice President Al Gore. A six-month investigation by The New York Times of this chapter in the closest presidential election in American history shows that the Republican effort had a decided impact. Under intense pressure from the Republicans, Florida officials accepted hundreds of overseas absentee ballots that failed to comply with state election laws. In an analysis of the 2,490 ballots from Americans living abroad that were counted as legal votes after Election Day, The Times found 680 questionable votes. Although it is not known for whom the flawed ballots were cast, four out of five were accepted in counties carried by Mr. Bush, The Times found. Mr. Bush's final margin in the official total was 537 votes. The flawed votes included ballots without postmarks, ballots postmarked after the election, ballots without witness signatures, ballots mailed from towns and cities within the United States and even ballots from voters who voted twice. All would have been disqualified had the state's election laws been strictly enforced. The Republican push on absentee ballots became an effective counterweight to the Gore campaign's push for manual recounts in mainly Democratic counties in southern Florida. In its investigation, The Times found that these overseas ballots - the only votes that could legally be received and counted after Election Day - were judged by markedly different standards, depending on where they were counted. The unequal treatment of these ballots is at odds with statements by Bush campaign leaders and by the Florida secretary of state, Katherine Harris, that rules should be applied uniformly and certainly not changed in the middle of a contested election. It also conflicts with the equal protection guarantee that the United States Supreme Court invoked in December when it halted a statewide manual recount and effectively handed Florida to Mr. Bush. After being told of The Times's findings, Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesman, said: ``This election was decided by the voters of Florida a long time ago. And the nation, the president and all but the most partisan Americans have moved on.'' The Times study found no evidence of vote fraud by either party. In particular, while some voters admitted in interviews that they had cast illegal ballots after Election Day, the investigation found no support for the suspicions of Democrats that the Bush campaign had organized an effort to solicit late votes. Rather, the Republicans poured their energy into the speedy delivery and liberal treatment of likely Bush ballots from abroad. In a Tallahassee ``war room'' within the offices of Ms. Harris, veteran Republican political consultants helped shape the post-election instructions to county canvassing boards. In Washington, senior Bush campaign officials urged the Pentagon to accelerate the collection and delivery of military ballots, and indeed ballots arrived more quickly than in previous elections. Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee helped the campaign obtain private contact information for military voters. Republicans provided their lawyers with a detailed playbook that included instructions on how to challenge likely Gore votes while fighting for the inclusion of likely Bush votes. In some counties where Mr. Gore was strong, Bush lawyers stood by silently while Gore lawyers challenged overseas ballots, even likely Gore ballots. The effectiveness of the Republican effort is demonstrated by striking disparities in how different counties treated ballots with similar defects. For instance, counties carried by Mr. Gore accepted 2 in 10 ballots that had no evidence they were mailed on or before Election Day. Counties carried by

[CTRL] [Fwd: [toeslist] Global Warming Fear Growing Over a Sharp Climate]
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: [toeslist] Global Warming Fear Growing Over a Sharp Climate Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 00:53:04 -0500 (CDT) From: Michael Givel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: ? To: undisclosed-recipients:; Published on Friday, July 13, 2001 in the Los Angeles Times Global Warming Fear Growing Over a Sharp Climate Shift by Usha Lee McFarling AMSTERDAM -- As climatologists gather here this week to discuss new research on global warming, a disquieting idea has been gaining currency -- the possibility that small shifts in global temperature could lead to sudden and abrupt climate changes. What makes such projections important is not their likelihood, which is uncertain, although a growing number of scientists believe that sudden changes in climate are a possibility. Instead, the chief significance for policymakers and the public lies in what the new research suggests about scientific uncertainty and risk. Until recently, much of the climate debate has centered on whether global warming is occurring at all. Most climate models had assumed a slow, steady increase in temperature and forecast gradual changes with gradual effects. But newer, more sophisticated models suggest that the Earth's climate system is nonlinear -- in other words, small changes can have large effects on everything from ocean and land temperatures to drought and monsoon patterns, icecaps and tropical rain forests. Though loath to cry wolf, more and more experts are beginning to publicly discuss--and personally fear--changes that are far more dramatic, and potentially faster, than those at the center of discussion so far. Some events could permanently alter life on Earth. For example, one projection is that melting Arctic ice could cause a flow of fresh water into the North Atlantic that would shut down the Gulf Stream this century. That warm current moderates the European climate, and turning it off would make a swath of land from London to Stockholm miserable. Sometimes very small, innocent changes can trigger huge changes, said Will Steffen, executive director of the Sweden-based International Geosphere-Biosphere Program, or IGBP, which is coordinating the Amsterdam conference. Sometimes you hit it with a hammer and nothing happens. We simply do not know. We are heading into uncharted waters. In the global warming debate, a chief argument of industry, joined by Bush administration officials and some scientists, is that the U.S. and its allies should not rush into potentially costly measures to head off possible climate change because our knowledge of the subject is limited. Many scientists, however, say that argument is precisely backward. The possibility of sudden, dramatic climate shifts means that, although there is a risk that current models are too pessimistic, there is also a substantial risk that they are too optimistic. A prominent advocate of the go-slow school of thought is Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, an expert on how the sun and its heat output have varied through time. Her research is funded by federal agencies but she accepts money -- to travel around and speak -- from firms that have advocated a go-slow approach on global warming. She argues that computer models are unreliable, exaggerate warming trends, fail to adequately take into account natural fluctuations in temperature and do not explain why no warming has been seen in the upper atmosphere. The best evidence says [climate change] is slow to work, so we have a window of opportunity, she said. As advocates of that school of thought note, many climate scientists a decade ago feared that global warming could cause a catastrophic melting of the massive West Antarctic ice sheet. Such an event would release huge amounts of water into the seas, devastating many of the world's highly populated, low-lying coastal areas. Recent studies, though, suggest that the Antarctic icecap is stable -- and actually growing as more precipitation falls there. Other scientists argue that because knowledge is uncertain, it is crucial to begin cutting emissions of carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases to slow the rate of climate change. We could be either under- or overestimating the effect of human activities on climate, said Robert Watson, chief scientist at the World Bank and head of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. So why should we be complacent? Paul Crutzen, an atmospheric chemist working in Germany who won the Nobel Prize for explaining the hole in the atmosphere's ozone layer, makes a similar point. There is not enough room to take chances with the climate, he argues. The chief cause of the hole, which appeared over Antarctica in the final decades of the 20th century, was chlorofluorocarbons -- chemicals used as refrigerants and as propellants in spray cans. Had chemists earlier in the century decided to use bromine instead of chlorine to produce

What is interesting is that recent geological studies have confirmed that past warming and cooling often occured very quickly (in as little as 20 years).

Re: [CTRL] Chandra Levy Timeline 7/15 (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- I've added a few more items to this timelinesee below 2000 Sometime around June, or generally in the summer of this year (2000), Anna Marie Smith starts her affair with Condit (she claims they had a relationship for approx. 10 months at the time Levy disappeared). Nov. L visits her Aunt in Maryland from Washington during Thanksgiving. The two discuss Levy's romantic life, according to the Washington Post, a discussion which contradicts the denials later issued by Condit's office about an affair between the intern and the congressman (Slate) It would seem that the affair with Levy must have begun immediately upon their first meeting; keep in mind that Condit's affair with Smith had been going on for some months at this time... 2001 Jan. About now L was telling both her aunt and her landlord that she might leave her apartment and move in with her boyfriend (Slate) 01/20L attends one of President Bush's inaugural balls (WP) Alone? @April: Friday before Passover, visits aunt. Parents arrive next day. Levy shows aunt the bracelet she says was given to her by Rep. Gary A. Condit. Sometime at the beginning of April, Anna Marie Smith visits Condit at his apartment, and discovers at least one hair that she IDs as Levy's, even though Smith claims to have never met Levy and indeed claims to not have known Condit was seeing anyone else but her (Smith). Smith also claims to have seen something which suggested bondage games were occuring in Condit's bedroom, and claims that this along with some vague 'other things' now makes her afraid of Condit. Apr.During Passover L sees the relative who visited during Thanksgiving, and again they discuss Levy's romantic life reports the Washington Post. The relative tells Chandra's mother, the news. Susan calls Chandra and asks her if she's been seeing Condit. Susan Levy says Chandra replies, 'How did you know?' (Slate) 4/14 S L's 24th BD party. Chandra bursting with plans (NYDN) @April 14: Levy's birthday celebrated at godparents' house in the Washington area. Sometime around this time -- around the middle of April -- Levy reportedly has 'a discussion' with Condit at his apartment regarding Jennifer Thomas, the intern who purportedly had not only an affair with Condit but his love child also, some 5 to 7 years before. @April 20: Bureau of Prisons tells her internship is over. 4/23 M Internship abruptly ended (BOP says routinely ended) (NYDN) Is it merely coincidence that the BoP suddenly discovered Levy's graduation status and routinely ends Levy's internship in an abrupt manner, only a short time after Levy's purported 'discussion' with Condit about Jennifer Thomas? *4/28 S Levy leaves two messages on landlord's machine saying that her job had ended abruptly. She e-mails that she would like to move out soon - May 5 or 6 - because I have no real reason to stay around here. SoLevy finds out either on Friday, 4/20, or Monday, 4/23, that her internship was ended...yet she waits until the following Saturday, 4/28, to contact her landlord to say she'll be moving out in a few days... The fact that she didn't contact the landlord immediately suggests that she spent the week trying to make arrangements of some sort..and by 4/28 she realized that nothing was going to pan out, at least anytime soon... 4/29 S Condit and L last speak by phone (per Condit) L calls aunt announcing she had big news! (NYDN) L videotaped at 7-11 in Arlington, VA though she has no car (NYDN) The 'big news', in the context of this timeline, would seem to probably be in regards to Levy's job prospects, and whether she'd be able to remain living in D.C. The 'big news' (whether coming from Condit, or from another source) may have been in regards to her being offered a job, albeit one that wouldn't start for some weeks, hence Levy's plans to go home for a week or more to visit her parents weren't changed. 5/01 T 10:45 amChandra emails mother about flight home in general, there seems to have been no flight selected by then. Or someone with access to Levy's apartment and who knew her ID and password logged on and sent the email to Levy's mother. *5/03 T Landlord calls and e-mails Levy, thinking something is wrong because of her usually meticulous nature. There is no response Thursday, Friday or Saturday. *5/03 T Levy's parents call the apartment's building manager and ask him to open Chandra's apartment and see if she's there. The manager refuses, saying he can't
Re: [CTRL] [OT] Report: President Bush Has Lowest IQ of all Presi dents of Past 50 Years
-Caveat Lector- If late night TV comedy is an indicator, then there has never been as widespread a perception that a president is not intellectually qualified for the position he holds as there is with President GW Bush. In a report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania detailed its findings of a four month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush. People who found it a good idea to vote for a borderline intellect must like the idea of having a president who is as dumb or dumber than they are. This is one of the drawbacks of letting everyone vote; they don't have to pick the best or smartest candidate. Maybe we need an IQ qualification for the right to vote. I think the Third Reich may have considered doing just that. The image of the USA will suffer during the Bush administration, but the American people will survive it, just as we survived other less-than-brilliant presidents. And if Nixon is an indication, intellect isn't always used to the country's benefit. And the brains of Jimmy Carter that we loved so much didn't make him a great leader. Maybe intellect is overrated.

[CTRL] Fwd: [RMNEWS] THE CONDIT SCANDAL ~ WHEN WILL THE MEDIA FOCUS ON TONY COEHLO?
From the Rumor Mill News Forum http://www.rumormillnews.com THE CONDIT SCANDAL WHEN WILL THE MEDIA FOCUS ON TONY COEHLO? When Gary Condit Was Chosen By the California Democratic Party To Run For the Congressional Seat Vacated by Tony Coehlo Due to Scandal, TONY COEHLO BECAME GARY CONDIT'S WASHINGTON MENTOR! By Rayelan Allan, Publisher, Rumor Mill News I have known Tony Coehlo most of my life. I grew up in central California in a small farming community that is in the Congressional District served by Coehlo and Condit. I went to school with Tony Coehlo's nieces, one of whom was recently implicated in the Portuguese Scandal along with her infamous uncle. In 1989, when Democratic Speaker of the House, Jim Wright, was forced to resign in a ethics scandal, Coehlo was second in power in the position of Majority Whip. Coehlo was caught up in a personal financial scandal and was also forced out. I was living in Washington D.C. and New York City at the time this was going on. Shortly after Coehlo and Wright were forced out, I moved back to California and bought a house with my mother in my home town, which was right in the heart of Coehlo's Congressional District. After two more trips to Washington D.C., I was approached by the Condit Campaign and asked to join. I declined due to illness. One of my nieces took the job. As a result of her involvement, I was asked to host a small party for the Condit family. During that party, Condit himself asked me to join his campaign. He had heard from my niece that I was thinking about accepting a job on Capitol Hill and he put in a pitch to get me to go to work for him instead of Senator Claiborne Pell. One month later, I married Gunther Russbacher, a Naval officer I had first met in 1976, at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. Two days after Gunther and I married, he was arrested, by the FBI, in front of my entire family. We were all told that he was a con man on a crime spree, marrying and defrauding wealthy widows. Gunther was taken to the Stanislaus County Jail in Modesto, California. Gary Condit's brother is a sheriff in this County. I was not allowed to talk to him or see him until I had hand delivered a letter to the Sheriff's Office stating that I wanted to see and hear from him. Shortly after I delivered the letter, Gunther called. One of the first things he said was, Tony Coehlo and Gary Condit are behind this. I was incredulous. How could Tony Coehlo and Gary Condit be behind his arrest? Over the next few weeks and months, the entire story came out. Gunther said Coehlo worked closely with the CIA in many of the Savings and Loan Scandals. He also worked closely with Michael Milken in the junk bond scandal of the 80's. Gunther said Coehlo skimmed a lot more money out of these scandals than has ever been revealed. Evidently the fact that I had recently been living in Washington, D.C., and had JUST moved back to Coehlo's district, made Coehlo believe that Gunther and I had come into the area to expose ALL of Coehlo's scandals and thereby derail any hope the Democrats had of hanging on to the Congressional seat. Tony Coehlo has a LONG history of unscrupulous activity. The following comments are not my own, they are taken from the various articles that follow: a..

Author Brooks Jackson wrote a whole book, called Honest Graft, about Coelho's ability to rake in campaign cash, especially from shady SL execs. a..

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: [RMNEWS] THE CONDIT SCANDAL ~ WHEN WILL THE MEDIA FOCUS ON TONY COEHLO?
-Caveat Lector- I would like to know more about the Hell's Angels connection and some of the associates of Condit who, like a Godfather you just mention you have a problem, someone giving you some trouble, and like a headache - suddenly, it is gone. Had it not been for the mother and the father, this matter would have been shoved under a rug, for what is just another little intern doing mundane work in Washington? Nothing - absolutely nothing to anybody. Be interesting to know how this old man and I mean OLD MAN seduced this little girl with the Rose Tattoo? Drugs used - is this how the door was opened to such an affair? Would like to know which Discos this man patronized - did he pick up women, go in disguise - why did they really call him blow dry and why did the press on numerous occasions call him the handsom Gary Condit, for he isnot handsome, he is a little twerp trying to be a man and does not know how - chasing women with him is a sickness, and oboviously with him it is lust, not love which draws him to his target.\ One thing sure - June is quite accurate in stating that no way you can tell who wrote the E Mails - sending information without flights was a waste of timelooks like if Gary Condit bought her ticket this time, it was a one way ticket .. What got me was the old sympathy routine where it was tossed out Condit's wife was very ill - what did that guy do before he got into politics? Well he made a movie once - seems Roger Clinton made a trashy movie too - some kind of a payoff no doubt? Or was Condit just high on Viagra and having the time of his life until along came a little girl with a Rose Tattoo and the big bad wolf .well who did the woodchopper get?

[CTRL] Fwd: 07-16-01: What price a constant state of anxiety?
X-Mailer:YourMailinglistProvider.com = Become a Friend of Online Journal and help further our working by making a donation: https://www.applyweb.com/public/contribute?oj = 07-16-01: What is the price of a constant state of anxiety? By Bev Conover July 16, 2001-Since we have become a society that measures everything in terms of money, what is the cost to us all when 80 to 90 percent of our population finds itself in a constant state of anxiety? Think about it. The average American toils longer and harder, and for relatively less pay, than his counterparts in other Western industrialized societies. Yet, he has no real job security and he's lucky if he isn't working two jobs or more to make ends meet. The average family can't cut it without two paychecks. Add one or two children and the family is likely to be just one or two paychecks away from bankruptcy. Factor in an elderly parent or two who needs help and the situation becomes a nightmare. Few employers provide child care, adding another anxiety to a parent in finding affordable, decent care. It is not unusual for single mothers with low paying jobs, who can't afford a day care center, to wind up being charged with child neglect or worse and losing custody of their children. Some 43 million people, and the number continues to climb, have no medical insurance. The lucky ones (we say that sarcastically) whose incomes are low enough can throw themselves on the mercy of the state. The others can either do without medical attention or face instant bankruptcy. They live with the constant fear of becoming ill, injured or disabled. The largest group in this country find themselves forced into HMOs whose only interest is their bottom lines. The luckiest few still have fee for service medical plans that don't come cheaply, require co-payments, have deductibles, and pay from 75 to 80 percent of the negotiated adjustment (meaning the doctors get stuck, too), don't cover everything, and that can leave the patient with enormous out-of-pocket expenses due to the deductible, coupled with the co-payment and the 15 to 20 percent of the negotiated adjustment they have to pay. Worse, whether it's an HMO or fee for service plan, the patient is often at the mercy of a clerk or a nurse, legally practicing medicine as a doctor, who decides if a treatment or procedure is medically necessary. But our compassionate conservative Presidunce (we borrowed that from The Nation) Bush doesn't want you to have the right to sue if you are damaged by the actions or negligence of the insurer, a doctor or a hospital. You see, in Bush's Amerika, only corporations have the right to sue each other and you. People are literally dying in the richest country on earth for lack of medical care or because they can't afford the necessary prescription medications. And woe be to those whose illness or disability requires skilled nursing care. They wind up in hell holes with Medicare paying for a relatively few days, stripped of any assets they might have when Medicare runs out and tossed onto Medicaid. Not to worry our presidunce, his corporate cohorts and the criminals he has stuffed his illegitimate administration with, who made gone with a projected $3 trillion budget surplus in less than six months with a tax cut gift to the rich, are going to take care of the poor by delivering them up to religious organizations financed with your tax dollars. Does anyone remember Lyndon Guns and Butter Johnson's Great Society? Numerous secular charities were given millions in federal grants to help the poor. Shoot, you had charitable groups spring up like mushrooms to swill at the public trough. And millions of those dollars went straight into the pockets of those running the charities. But George W. has a thing for back to the past. Only this time, the poor will have to take a spoonful of religion if they hope to get a bowl of soup. If Secretary of the Treasury Paul Alcoa O'Neill gets his way, corporations, while retaining their insane status of personhood, will no longer pay taxes-not that they pay much now, given the creativeness of their tax lawyers and accountants. That little burden will be shifted onto individual taxpayers-read that the Great Middle. O'Neill also wants to do away with Social Security and Medicare. After all, says Millionaire (or is that Billionaire?) O'Neill, people should provide for their own retirement and health care, and if they can't, let them work until they drop dead. First, the corporations got away with making gone with pension funds and forcing workers into 401Ks. Notice the corporate media aren't reporting much about the hit 401Ks have taken with the market slides. Then Congress killed the last of the banking safeguards put in place during the Great Depression, so the banks can again play in uninsured

[CTRL] Wayne's World and Dayton
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.stopwmx.org/wayne.html Click Here: A HREF=http://www.stopwmx.org/wayne.html;wayne.html/A - Wayne's World and Dayton Wayne Huizenga, the kingpin behind the growth of Waste Management (WMX) and then Blockbuster Video, developed businesses that practice racism, environmental degradation, government exploitation and law breaking. Huizenga and his cousins, Waste Management immediate past president Dean Buntrock and Board member Peter Huizenga, followed their immigrant grandfather into the scavenger business. In their first year in business, Huizenga crusaded across the country purchasing 90 scavenger companies. Following the tradition of placing dumps in neighborhoods inhabited by the powerless, they sited more and more of them in Black and Hispanic communities across America. In Dayton, Ohio, the largest waste management company (WMX) in the world is racist. WMX selected a site in the African-American community inhabited not by poor but by middle and upper income people. The landmark study by the United Church of Christ has documented their racist activity. WMX undermines the environment. In Dayton, Ohio, Waste Management chose their site in a highly populated area. Worse still, it is right at the sole source aquifer line. The aquifer provides fresh drinking water for the metropolis. Eventually, the business-oriented Ohio Environmental Protection Agency forced WMX to eliminate a section of the landfill because it was over the aquifer! The dump is still over watery sand and is a threat to the entire Dayton area water supply. In Dayton, Ohio, Waste Management refused to compete for the landfill site bidding. Instead they sued the City of Dayton and settled out of court with a $26 million payoff to the city. WMX cajoled the city into an agreement. Huizenga has succeeded in monopolizing the waste management industry and video distribution (through Blockbuster) by eliminating competition with the same ruthlessness. Monopolies are illegal in the United States. Huizenga's history exemplifies how the Federal government refuses to enforce its Sherman Anti-Trust laws. WMX compromises government. In Dayton, Ohio, Waste Management exploited Dayton's government with its payoff. It gained huge favors from Ohio's EPA for a 40% site enlargement so that the dump would become Dayton's highest landmark, visible to all. WMX's history is strewn with convictions for government corruption and exploitation. It hires former government officials at a rapid pace. In 1996 INFACT singled it out with a corruption award. WMX and WMX the Huizenga family have no respect for the law and manipulate it with regularity. In Dayton, Ohio, WMX broke the law by siting over an aquifer, siting in a minority community, concealing its survey showing that the site was dangerously over the aquifer, and misusing the judicial and legislative systems to gain an agreement with the City of Dayton. WMX and Huizenga have no respect for the law and manipulate it with regularity. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations. Omnia Bona Bonis, Adieu, Adios, Aloha.

[CTRL] CNSNews: Chicago Jail Inmates Courted For Absentee Voting
-Caveat Lector- http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=\Politics\archive\200107\POL20 010716a.html Chicago Jail Inmates Courted For Absentee Voting By Gene J. Koprowski CNSNews.com Correspondent July 16, 2001 Chicago (CNSNews.com) - The Chicago Board of Election Commissioners made special provisions in the weeks before last fall's presidential election to ensure that county jail prisoners registered to vote absentee, and that approximately 1,900 absentee ballots from those inmates were promptly and properly tabulated, according to information obtained by CNSNews.com via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The commissioners are formally appointed by the Cook County Circuit Court for three-year terms. However, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, the brother of Al Gore's campaign manager, Bill Daley, has influence over who gets nominated. Preferential registration accommodations, however, were not made by the commissioners for military or overseas absentee voters, officials said. Being 'Very Helpful' to Inmates On Tuesday, October 24th, we will receive approximately 1,500 applications for absentee ballots from the Cook County Department of Corrections, reads an October 2, 2000 memorandum by Celine O'Sullivan, manager of election support activities for the board. The memo, entitled Processing Pretrial Detainee Applications for Absentee Ballots, was obtained following a three-month FOIA probe conducted by CNSNews.com. Since we only have a week to process the applications in order to deliver the ballots on November 2nd, it would be very helpful if we could have the Data Processing personnel enter the applications on Wednesday, October 25th, the memo advised. The memorandum was sent to Dan Doyle, the election board's manager of records processing, registration and file maintenance. Also receiving a copy of the memo was Rose Torres, a supervisor in the absentee balloting department. Exercising a Right Before It's Taken Away A spokesman for the board, Thomas Leach, said the city has put in place a process to ensure that the accused criminals can exercise their right to vote before it is taken away in the event the inmate is convicted of a felony charge. What this is, is a program that we have with the Cook County Department of Corrections to both register and vote by absentee ballot persons who are being detained in the Department of Corrections, pretrial, said Leach. According to Leach, the program is an effort to ensure that eligible voters who are behind bars are able to cast their ballot. Under Illinois law, once you're incarcerated on a crime, you cannot vote at that time. However, if you are awaiting trial in jail, or in the Cook County Jail, you are allowed to cast a ballot, said Leach. Getting Out the Inmate Vote In the weeks before the election, Leach said, the board dispatched representatives of its Community Services department to the Department of Corrections to undertake a special voter registration drive. Working with the Department of Corrections, we register to vote anyone who is not registered and wishes to do so, said Leach. We then set up, the weekend before the election, absentee voting. We have several locations throughout the jail. At these prison polling places, the inmates line up, and their voting information, address, and signature - all of the data on their absentee voting applications - is checked. The prisoners then are voted, said Leach. Leach said there are provisions to ensure that convicted felons are not allowed to vote, but those safeguards are not undertaken by election officials. Instead, Leach said that task is left to jailers. It's up to the Department of Corrections, and they do this for us, since they have the first-hand knowledge, and anybody who is actually serving a sentence [for a felony conviction], that ballot is then pulled and they are not allowed to vote, said Leach. After the votes are cast, Leach said the ballots are transported to several locations before being counted. If they are still awaiting trial, they are allowed to vote. Those ballots are then brought down here to our office. They are then sent out to their original [home precinct] polling place, said Leach. Because the ballots are counted by election judges at precinct polling places outside the jail, it's impossible to tell how many votes any of the presidential candidates received from the inmates. All told, Leach confirmed that about 1,900 jail inmates voted in the federal election in Chicago, exceeding the prisoner estimate noted in the October memo by O'Sullivan. Voter eligibility among Cook County Jail inmates is relatively low compared with voter turnout among non-incarcerated voters, with about 15 percent of the jail population casting ballots last year. Nationally, voter participation in presidential elections has hovered around 50% over the last two elections.

-Caveat Lector- Now Mike I knew that was not a true story - but I thought it was just more Democrat Propaganda..

Want Peace in our Time - Cut off the Foreign Aid for War Mongering; Want the Weather back we once enjoyed - stop the Weather Modification Program - for now you see both are used as Weapons of War. This is interesting item..there is nothing new under the sun but the works of Colonel Thoman Beardon goes back many years and as a nuclear engineer and familiar with weather engineering he knows how the jet streams are being maniipulated to cause chaos in particular to the American Farmers in my opinion. Part of Weather War is Kissinger's Dream to corner market on food, now they want the water, and they the air we breathe we will have to pay the UN for this too?

Saba A New Enlightenment On The Global Warming Hoax By E. Ralph Hostetter Toogood Reports [Thursday, April 5, 2001; 12:01 a.m. ET] URL: http://ToogoodReports.com/ Some of the best news we´ve heard in years came from the White House recently. President George W. Bush, singly-handedly, kicked the so-called Kyoto Treaty on global warming right out the door. Our heartfelt thanks to a president who was smart enough to see through the smoke and mirrors of this global warming hoax, and who had the courage to stick a pin in the big hot air balloon of engineered climate change a balloon filled with nothing more than the over-inflated egos of a gang of pseudo-scientists. At the core of the Kyoto Treaty was a draconian plan to turn all United States energy polices over to the United Nations. Control would include all our energy sources and resources. The Kyoto Treaty, upon ratification by the signatory nations, would become the Kyoto Protocol, much as the Montreal Protocol banned all use of chlorofluorocarbons (Freon) in the world. And ban it, it did. A change in the protocol, under United Nation´s rules, would require a majority vote. The United States would have one vote out of 180, with no veto power. The purpose of the Kyoto Treaty was to penalize all the modern industrial nations North America and Europe for their wasteful energy use. These nations were identified as the largest emitters of carbon dioxide through the use of fossil fuels coal, oil and gas. The Kyoto Treaty would require these nations to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and thereby energy use (electricity, gasoline and fuel oil) to a point five percent below those of 1990 by the year 2012. As an example, California is using 50 percent more energy than it used in 1990 by the year 2012 it would be using much more. To reduce California to less than half of the energy it consumed in 1990 would effectively shut California down much as the Sierra Club, one of the principle backers of the treaty, is doing now. The Kyoto Treaty was the centerpiece of then Vice President Al Gore´s effort to create a lasting legacy as the environmental giant he hoped to become. He referred to the Kyoto Treaty as his Marshall Plan. The treaty identified the industrial western world as the culprit. Those nations used more energy than the so-called developing world. China, Russia, India, all of Africa and South America were exempt. The exempt nations were to be issued energy credits. Energy in the industrial western countries would have to be rationed immediately to reduce energy use to pre-1990 levels by the year 2012. In the event the U.S. was starving energy-wise, it could purchase energy credits, for example, from China, or from Russia, to survive. The billions of dollars sent to these other countries, according to Gore, would be spent by them to clean up their own environments, and presto, the entire world would be pollution free. What evil lurks in the hearts of men? Only the shadow of Clinton knows. The Kyoto Protocol would have been nothing more than a Marxist, communist, socialist plot to redistribute the western industrial wealth to the old communist block nations. The Kyoto Treaty was presented for approval b the United Nations to member countries of the world at the Hague in the Netherlands last November. Many western industrial nations began to smell a rat and the meeting ended in disarray with a friendly environmentalist pushing a pie in the face of the American delegate. The. U.S. Senate in 1997 voted 97-0 to reject the Kyoto Treaty. In defiance of the U.S. Senate vote rejecting the treaty, both
[CTRL] Martin- Seized Weapons Sent To Cuba
http://www.almartinraw.com/column28.html Illegal Weapons Seized By FBI Sent to Cuba by Al Martin The illegal weapons en route from Huntsville, Alabama to New Orleans, seized and temporarily held by the FBI, have been dispatched to a naval base on Cuba. Afterwards this shipment of "lemmings" (explosive bolts used in multi-stage missiles) was sent to Russia. And "Mr. Murphy," the Chinese arms dealer went along with it. The weapons will be resold from Russia. A reliable inside source alleges that "that's why the US Government is part of it," i.e., why there was no continuing "interference" by the FBI. Evidently the weapons and the drivers were released by the FBI after being briefly detained. Formally the FBI claims they know nothing about this incident, which means that they are indeed covering it up. (See previous story on Al Martin Raw) What's being covered-up is that Cuba is being used as a trans-shipping point, which makes the entire transaction illegal, since Cuba is still an embargoed nation. Most likely the shipment of weapons went through Cienfuegos, the site of the old Russian submarine base and the only place in Cuba where they still have naval facilities. Russia then is simply a reseller to its former client states. This particular shipment of "lemmings" went via Cuba to Russia to one of Russia's end users. There are only several former client states of the USSR that could use explosive bolts in missile separations, and those would be Iran or India. India is now building two-stage missile systems, and so is Pakistan, which is a little further behind. These are theater nukes. Both India and Pakistan have developed and tested thermo-nuclear weapons. They both have them pointed at each other. The only modern weapons the Pakis continue to get are through the Chinese. They get US weapons, which have been sold to the Chinese. The Chinese resell them to the Pakis. The ultimate end user of these missile bolts (lemmings) is probably India because the Iranian missile program is not advanced enough yet to need them. The logical conclusion is that India would be the only potential country that is a client state of Russia that could use them. This is very explosive news since the FBI has hinted (if they were asked about this cover-up of illegal weapons seizure) that they would say that this was a legal transaction. If anyone discovered enough to put it into print, the FBI would take the attitude that this was a lawful transaction. They simply wouldn't mention however that it was being shipped to Cuba first. That's the part that makes it unlawful because Cuba is still embargoed. The FBI continues to attempt to keep this entire situation quiet and make it appear as if nothing happened. Illegal weapons shipments in the US continue to move apace to their final destinations. The final irony is that India and Pakistan are currently in negotiation regarding their so-called "nuclear security."
[CTRL] Fwd: Police not buying Condit polygraph
Parks are always notorious meeting grounds for perverts and such a place would be Condit Territory without a doubt...Great News - lured in the net with offer of a good job? Saba D.C. parks combed for signs of Levy U.S. Park Police on horseback ride through Rock Creek Park Monday as part of the search for clues in the disappearance of Chandra Levy. July 16 -- Washington, D.C., Police Chief Charles Ramsey says on NBC's Today show that a park that Chandra Levy may have intended to visit will be among the areas searched. NBC NEWS AND WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON, July 16 Police fanned out Monday for a foot-by-foot search of several Washington parks, including one that Chandra Levy apparently explored from her home computer hours before she vanished without a trace 11 weeks ago. A small bone was found in the early hours of the hunt, but it was unclear whether it was a human bone. July 16 Police are fanning out across the nation's capital, as the search for Chandra Levy intensifies. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports. POLICE PLACED A flag at the site in Rock Creek Park where the 4-inch-by-1-inch bone was discovered and shooed reporters and photographers away as they assessed their find. Police officials were expected to discuss the find shortly. Parts of Rock Creek Park were searched early in the investigation and the more-comprehensive hunt at the 1,754-acre enclave and other secluded areas was being conducted to see if we missed something, Police Chief Charles Ramsey said Monday on NBC's Today show. Earlier, The Washington Post reported that Levy was on her computer for more than three hours starting about 9:30 a.m. May 1, and during the session, looked up a map site for the Klingle Mansion in the 1,754-acre park. Police said they are not sure whether Levy ever visited the Klingle Mansion, which serves as park headquarters. The Rock Creek Web site tells prospective visitors that the park is relatively safe, but cautions that it is best to be with another person if you are hiking or running (as a precaution especially for women). Ramsey confirmed the Post report, which noted that Levy looked up other locations in the capital, and also visited Web pages to get information on airline and train tickets to California. Three other parks in the southeast portion of the city Fort Dupont Park, Kenilworth Park and Anacostia Park also are expected to be searched this week, police told NBC News. SEARCH COULD LAST TWO WEEKS The grid search, in which police officers and academy recruits painstakingly comb an area foot by foot, could be expanded to include other parks and will last about two weeks if nothing is found in the meantime, police said. The effort continues a search that began Thursday when police combed through vacant buildings near where Levy was last seen. Investigators also are examining 166 tips received after a one-hour broadcast Saturday of America's Most Wanted devoted to the Levy case. Meanwhile, police on Sunday turned up their public pressure on Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif., dismissing a private polygraph test his lawyer says he passed last week as meaningless. We're not buying that, Ramsey said, saying he was not satisfied that Condit had been totally up front with his officers. Advertisement Ramsey made the rounds of Sunday talk shows to make it clear how disappointed he was with Condit, 53, who sources say admitted he was having an affair with 24-year-old Levy in his third interview with police after initially denying a romantic entanglement. In an interview with NBC's Tim Russert on Meet the Press, Ramsey disputed the contention of Condit's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, that Condit had cooperated fully with police from the beginning of the investigation of Levy's disappearance on May 1. In terms of just being totally up front with us throughout this entire investigation, there has been some information that we wish we'd gotten earlier, Ramsey said. Ramsey said police wanted Condit to undergo their own polygraph test to lock down the accuracy of information he gave investigators during his three interviews about the nature of his relationship with Levy. There are other things that we would like to know, he said. It's not just whether there was any direct involvement, but what about indirect involvement? Could she have been introduced to others that she may have left with? And there may be some follow-up questions that should've been asked. 'WE'RE NOT BUYING THAT' Speaking to reporters outside NBC's Washington studios after appearing on Meet the Press, Ramsey said he was disappointed that Condit and Lowell were trying to make [the privately conducted polygraph] the official one. We're not buying that, he added. More coverage Latest developments Newsweek: The odyssey of Gary Condit WashPost: Another affair alleged

[CTRL] Italian police raid Revolutionary United Front chief arms supplier
-Caveat Lector- Sierra Leone: Italian police raid Revolutionary United Front chief arms supplier AFP2001071152 Freetown Concord Times (Internet Version-WWW) in English 9 Jul 01 [Unattributed article: Italian Police Nab RUF's Chief Arms Supplier] Italian police have raided the modest two-room apartment home of Leonid Efimovich Minin, an international arms dealer and business partner and confidant of Charles Taylor, near Milan. The raid smashed an international arms-smuggling ring involving Russian organised crime that has been supplying weapons to the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), reports The Times of London. Times reports that the raid was the culmination of months of painstaking detective work aimed at halting the trade. When the Squadra Mobile, or flying squad, pulled Leonid out of bed, the Ukrainian-born, who operates under at least 30 nicknames, remained silent and calm. He had 20 grams of cocaine on him. Leonid, now under Italian police custody has been charged with international arms trafficking, a crime for which he faces a sentence of up to 12 years if convicted. The police first started surveillance on Leonid when they were tipped off about his arrival in Italy early last year. Arresting him last August for drugs trafficking, they found him in the company of two prostitutes. They confiscated £300,000 worth of diamonds and cocaine and photographs of a variety of weapons. He was placed under house arrest and then released. Times newspaper quotes Walter Mapelli, the public prosecutor, as saying that the investigation focuses on two shipments of arms from eastern European countries to Africa - 68 tons of light weapons in March 1999 and a consignment of 113 tons last July which included assault rifles, Russian-made rocket-propelled grenades and ammunition. The arms, believed to be of Ukrainian, Russian and Bulgarian origin and including 10,500 Kalashnikov rifles, were falsely certified as destined for African countries, including Burkina Faso, which were not subject to the arms embargoes that the UN has slapped on Liberia and Sierra Leone. Leonid speaks Ukrainian, Russian, English, French, German and Italian, and is believed to have made an annual profit of about £125m from his rackets. When they seized his mobile telephone and other belongings, however, the police found almost no trace of phone numbers. It seemed that Minin had been punching out the numbers of his associates from memory. He had no computer at his disposal, only three mobile phones and a fax machine.

[CTRL] Reu: Climate Talks Start But Hopes of Deal Fade
-Caveat Lector- Monday July 16 7:36 AM ET Climate Talks Start But Hopes of Deal Fade By Matt Daily BONN, Germany (Reuters) - Talks opened in Germany on Monday to try to salvage the international Kyoto agreement, a pact many scientists believe may be the last chance to save the environment from the destructive impact of global warming. With the United States and Europe at daggers drawn over the 1997 U.N.-sponsored Kyoto Protocol, which would force industrial powers to cut greenhouse gas emissions, chances seem slim of an accord during two weeks of meetings in Bonn. Japan has emerged as a pivotal player between the other two polluting, industrial regions. But Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has said it will take more talks in Morocco in October to reach an overall deal. Dutch Environment Minister Jan Pronk opened the Bonn talks, saying he had brought forward some elements of the negotiating process to try to speed up progress following the failure of a summit he hosted at The Hague last November. ``It's crucial that we bring our four years of work to completion,'' he told reporters. President Bush has renounced the backing for the pact given by his predecessor, Bill Clinton. Washington says Kyoto was based on dubious science and would hurt the economy. That has angered Europeans, some of whom accuse Bush, a former Texas oilman, of putting the business interests of the world's biggest polluter ahead of saving the planet. JAPAN'S ``BLACK CLOUD'' Koizumi's cautious pessimism brought angry responses from environmental campaigners who say delay can only increase the threat that global warming will melt polar ice-caps and flood coastlines and islands. ``There is huge black cloud over the conference -- it's caused by Japan not willing to go ahead without the U.S.,'' Bill Hare, Greenpeace's climate change campaign head, told Reuters. ``All the issues are going to be held hostage by this.'' Some European officials and other observers said they were still hopeful that Japan could be persuaded to back European Union efforts to have the pact ratified by a majority of key states to try to increase pressure on Washington to back it. ``The negotiations will be very difficult and it could be that the whole enterprise collapses,'' German Environment Minister Juergen Trittin told German television. ``Japan helped with the birth of Kyoto but it also could contribute to burying Bonn...Now we have to make that leap...The main question is whether the United States will come around to being more efficient in their use of energy,'' he said. Dismissing chances of changing Bush's mind any time soon, Trittin, a member of the environmentalist Greens party, said it was more important to get Japan and Russia to agree the pact: ''That's the aim of negotiations in Bonn. If we succeed, or if Japan buries the Kyoto protocol, remains to be seen,'' he said. The talks in the former West German capital on the Rhine will focus on detailed issues like deadlines for cutting gas emissions, mechanisms for trading emissions allowances among countries and formulae for offsetting gas emissions against forests, which can turn carbon dioxide pollution back to oxygen. Government ministers are not due to join civil servants at the meetings until Thursday. And much of the high-level political arm twisting -- as well as potentially violent protests -- is likely to be reserved for this weekend's Group of Eight (G8) summit of leading industrial powers at Genoa, Italy. European leaders, including German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, French President Jacques Chirac and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, are likely to press Bush and Koizumi on the issue. In order to be binding on those taking part, the pact must be ratified by at least 55 countries which also account for 55 percent of the industrialized world's greenhouse gas emissions. That means that without the United States, which alone accounts for 36.1 percent of those emissions, most of the other big industrial nations must sign up together -- the EU's 15 states account for 24.2 percent and Japan 8.5 percent.

[CTRL] The Shocking Menace of Satellite Surveillance
-Caveat Lector- From Pravda, http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/07/14/10131.html 2001-07-14 by JOHN FLEMING THE SHOCKING MENACE OF SATELLITE SURVEILLANCE Unknown to most of the world, satellites can perform astonishing and often menacing feats. This should come as no surprise when one reflects on the massive effort poured into satellite technology since the Soviet satellite Sputnik, launched in 1957, caused panic in the U.S. A spy satellite can monitor a person's every movement, even when the target is indoors or deep in the interior of a building or traveling rapidly down the highway in a car, in any kind of weather (cloudy, rainy, stormy). There is no place to hide on the face of the earth. It takes just three satellites to blanket the world with detection capacity. Besides tracking a person's every action and relaying the data to a computer screen on earth, amazing powers of satellites include reading a person's mind, monitoring conversations, manipulating electronic instruments and physically assaulting someone with a laser beam. Remote reading of someone's mind through satellite technology is quite bizarre, yet it is being done; it is a reality at present, not a chimera from a futuristic dystopia! To those who might disbelieve my description of satellite surveillance, I'd simply cite a tried-and-true Roman proverb: Time reveals all things (tempus omnia revelat). As extraordinary as clandestine satellite powers are, nevertheless prosaic satellite technology is much evident in daily life. Satellite businesses reportedly earned $26 billion in 1998. We can watch transcontinental television broadcasts via satellite, make long-distance phone calls relayed by satellite, be informed of cloud cover and weather conditions through satellite images shown on television, and find our geographical bearings with the aid of satellites in the GPS (Global Positioning System). But behind the facade of useful satellite technology is a Pandora's box of surreptitious technology. Spy satellites--as opposed to satellites for broadcasting and exploration of space--have little or no civilian use--except, perhaps, to subject one's enemy or favorite malefactor to surveillance. With reference to detecting things from space, Ford Rowan, author of Techno Spies, wrote some U.S. military satellites are equipped with infra-red sensors that can pick up the heat generated on earth by trucks, airplanes, missiles, and cars, so that even on cloudy days the sensors can penetrate beneath the clouds and reproduce the patterns of heat emission on a TV-type screen. During the Vietnam War sky high infra-red sensors were tested which detect individual enemy soldiers walking around on the ground. Using this reference, we can establish 1970 as the approximate date of the beginning of satellite surveillance--and the end of the possibility of privacy for several people. The government agency most heavily involved in satellite surveillance technology is the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), an arm of the Pentagon. NASA is concerned with civilian satellites, but there is no hard and fast line between civilian and military satellites. NASA launches all satellites, from either Cape Kennedy in Florida or Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, whether they are military-operated, CIA-operated, corporate-operated or NASA's own. Blasting satellites into orbit is a major expense. It is also difficult to make a quick distinction between government and private satellites; research by NASA is often applicable to all types of satellites. Neither the ARPA nor NASA makes satellites; instead, they underwrite the technology while various corporations produce the hardware. Corporations involved in the satellite business include Lockheed, General Dynamics, RCA, General Electric, Westinghouse, Comsat, Boeing, Hughes Aircraft, Rockwell International, Grumman Corp., CAE Electronics, Trimble Navigation and TRW. The World Satellite Directory, 14th edition (1992), lists about a thousand companies concerned with satellites in one way or another. Many are merely in the broadcasting business, but there are also product headings like remote sensing imagery, which includes Earth Observation Satellite Co. of Lanham, Maryland, Downl Inc. of Denver, and Spot Image Corp. of Reston, Virginia. There are five product categories referring to transponders. Other product categories include earth stations (14 types), military products and systems, microwave equipment, video processors, spectrum analyzers. The category remote sensors lists eight companies, including ITM Systems Inc., in Grants Pass, Oregon, Yool Engineering of Phoenix, and Satellite Technology Management of Costa Mesa, California.

-Caveat Lector- GUN CRIME 'ROSE AFTER HANDGUN BAN' A pro-gun lobby group has attacked the government over laws that made handgun ownership illegal, after a study it commissioned found that the criminal use of handguns went up by 40% in the two years after the weapons were banned. A study commissioned by the Countryside Alliance's Campaign for Shooting found that the number of crimes that involved a handgun increased from 2,648 in 1997-98 to 3,685 in 1999-00.

[CTRL] Pravda: Cuba Aaccuses CIA of Attacks with Biological Weapons!
-Caveat Lector- http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/07/13/9962.html 11:04 2001-07-13 CUBA ACCUSES CIA OF ATTACKS WITH BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS By Marcia MIRANDA Pravda.Ru BRAZIL The transcript from a recent Cuban Council of State meeting provides evidence that Havana is convinced the CIA was behind many attacks on Cuba with biological weapons between 1961 and 1981. According to this transcript, the CIA launched attacks with biological weapons on Cuba's agricultural workers at the sugar harvest time in 1961 and 1962, in an attempt to paralyse the Cuban economy at the height of the international crisis. A decade later, it is claimed, the CIA introduced swine fever into the island, an epidemic which culminated in the death of 500,000 pigs. In 1979, the Washington Post wrote an article stating that the CIA had a secret programme to destroy Cuban agriculture and that since 1962, the Pentagon had been producing biological agents to use against Cuba's sugar cane and tobacco production. Sugar cane and tobacco are two mainstays of the Cuban economy. In 1984, Eduardo Arosena, leader of the terrorist group OMEGA-7, admitted to an American jury that he had taken part in operations to introduce deadly viruses into Cuba as part of a secret biological warfare programme against Havana. Spokesperson of the Council of State meeting Randy Alonso claims Cuba has been the victim of the investigation and development of deadly viruses in North American Laboratories. We must not forget the cases of haemorrhagic dengue and haemorrhagic conjunctivitis. The Council of State meeting revealed evidence that the epidemic of haemorrhagic dengue in 1981 killed 158 people, 191 of them children. It is claimed that this virus was cultivated especially for Cuba because it is a virus that is not endemic in the island and it was only here that this strain was to be found, being unknown in the rest of the American continent. Dr. Eric Martinez confirmed this and remembers that at the height of the crisis, when we had 300,000 people sick, and we had the possibility of acquiring one of the products (Abate) that we needed to use to stop the spread of this disease. Due to the blockade, the access to this medicine was denied to us. Accusations of this kind are unfortunately not a surprise in South America, a continent which the USA has always used and abused in a tissue of power games as it divides and rules and keeps its economic stranglehold over the continent it loves to dominate.

[CTRL] WP: Levy Looked Up Map Of a 'Rock Creek' Site
-Caveat Lector- If infidelity is the test, there would be a number of members of Congress that should resign, Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) said on CNN's Late Edition. [Lol! Try *ALL* members of the House and Senate!! I heard Ramsey last night on CNN's Face the Nation. Rock Creek Park will be the first to be searched today by a large number of police academy cadets and recruits that he called in to do the now nearly random searching as they begin to run out of more productive leads to run. Walsh (America's Most Wanted) was also a guest on the show. He said that his show's Sat night Levy segment generated 160 seemingly decent leads. While they wait forensic lab results, the detectives will reinterview ppl and follow-up on most of the AMW generated leads while the cadets/recrutes randomly search wider and wider circles from Levy's apt. Btw, for the ongoing FR thread on this stuff, see: http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b5272952a5b.htm . --MS] http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A1202-2001Jul15.html Levy Looked Up Map Of a Rock Creek Site Intern Was on Computer May 1, D.C. Police Say By Allan Lengel and Sari Horwitz Washington Post Staff Writers Monday, July 16, 2001; Page B01 Chandra Levy looked up a map site on the Internet for the Klingle Mansion in Rock Creek Park before logging off her laptop computer for the last time, a senior police official said yesterday. For more than three hours starting about 9:30 a.m. May 1, Levy was on her computer, looking up the Rock Creek site and other locations as well as Web pages for airline and train tickets to California, where she planned to attend her graduation ceremony at the University of Southern California, Executive Assistant Police Chief Terrance W. Gainer said. Police said they are not sure whether Levy, 24, ever visited Klingle Mansion, and they declined to disclose the other locations that she was checking on the Internet. Levy was last seen at her D.C. health club April 30. Meanwhile, as police released more details about her last known movements, Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) called for Rep. Gary A. Condit (D-Calif.), to resign if these allegations are true that he had a romantic relationship with Levy, a recent intern at the U.S. Bureau of Prisons who has been missing for 11 weeks. Infidelity is always unacceptable, but particularly when you have an elected official involved in a position of trust with a young girl, an intern, Lott said on Fox News Sunday. Marina Ein, a publicist for Condit, declined to comment on Lott's remarks. According to sources, Condit -- whom police have interviewed three times -- told investigators in his most recent interview that he was having an affair with Levy when she disappeared. Police have said that he is not a suspect in what is still classified as a missing persons case. Police have not ruled out suicide, homicide or the possibility that Levy ran off on her own. But D.C. Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey said yesterday on Face the Nation that he thought it unlikely that Levy was abducted by a stranger because she was a pretty cautious woman and just wasn't one to just throw her door open to anybody if there was a knock at the door and things like that. Today, police plan to launch a two-week search throughout the city, using about 50 police recruits to look for a body or a fresh burial spot in areas where people picnic, park or have romantic liaisons, Gainer said. The search will include the Klingle Mansion, the area of which police searched about four weeks ago, Gainer said. The three-story, gray stone Pennsylvania Dutch-style farmhouse, which was built in 1823, sits on a weedy hill overlooking a block of large homes near a shallow wooded area. It is a popular destination for dog walkers, bikers, hikers and joggers. The mansion is about two miles north of Levy's apartment in the 1200 block of 21st Street NW and about a mile from Adams Morgan, where she was known to visit restaurants and Condit's apartment. Gainer said police have also contacted the D.C. Taxicab Commission and asked for all 1,600 registered drivers in the city to submit their logs from April 30 to May 2 to see whether anyone took Levy to the mansion or anywhere else. Levy did not have a car in the District. As part of the probe, investigators, at the invitation of Condit's attorney, Abbe D. Lowell, interviewed members of Condit's staff in recent days. Over the weekend, they searched a car of a staff member who on more than one occasion recently has picked up the congressman at his apartment, Gainer said. Many leads in the case have proved fruitless. Police examined a 911 call made at 4:37 a.m. May 1 from a woman in Levy's apartment building who said she heard a scream for help outside the building. Nothing was found. Gainer said Levy appeared to have been on her computer five hours after the call, leading police to believe it was not relevant to the case. Police said they plan to release

-Caveat Lector- So you all got suckered in on this one? First place anyone who watches Jay Leno cannot be too bright for even his script writers leave much to be desired. So, I thought gee whiz, my IQ was 2 points under FDR: and I wondered, for I always knew he was what some believed to be a great leader, and he used that little lame Prince bit for all it was worth. Fact is fact - and me I thought that piece was written by Democrat propagandists - as for Carter, I remember when he took his problems on the neutron bomb home to little pigeon toed Amy.for advice.and when his brother like Clinton put on the performance of their lives, urinating in public. George Bush is a gentleman - too bad he is not like a Clinton who sells snake oil, or even Clayton Powell - for Powell and Clinton and even Alan Keyes are well trained, well programmed parrots for this New World Order.if you cannot tell the programmed idiots by now, well continue to vote democrat.

[CTRL] Vatican Harboring War Criminal
http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2001/07/15/stifgneur02002.html Vatican 'saves priest' from genocide trial Jon Swain ITALY is refusing to hand over to the international war crimes tribunal a Rwandan Catholic priest wanted on genocide charges. He is accused of ordering his own church to be bulldozed, crushing and killing up to 2,500 parishioners. Italian judicial authorities claim that an ad hoc decree is required for them to co-operate with the United Nations tribunal for Rwanda. Authoritative sources say the true reason for Italy's stalling is discreet pressure from the Vatican. Carla Del Ponte, the tribunal's chief prosecutor, says that, as a UN member state, Italy is in breach of its international obligations. "It's a scandal. Belgrade has handed over Milosevic, but Rome won't grant me this arrest," she complained after announcing that three other Rwandan suspects, including a priest, had been arrested on the tribunal's orders in Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands on Thursday. Del Ponte did not identify her target in Italy, who is the subject of a secret indictment, but well-informed sources in the Hague and in Rome confirmed that the wanted priest is Father Athanase Seromba. A Hutu, Seromba had allegedly sided in 1994 with a campaign to exterminate Rwanda's Tutsi minority. The destruction of his church at Nyange on April 16, 1994, was one of the most notorious massacres of the genocide in which 800,000 died. Seromba travelled afterwards to Florence with the help of supporters in the Catholic church. He rejoined the priesthood under an assumed name. In November 1999 The Sunday Times found he had established a new life for himself as a deputy priest at a church in Florence under the name of Don Anastasio Sumba Bura. The UN tribunal, based in Arusha, Tanzania, opened an investigation and began collecting evidence. Del Ponte formally requested Seromba's extradition from Italy at the beginning of this month. But statements emanating from the Catholic church in Florence suggest it stands by him. "Everyone has a positive impression of him," said Riccardo Bigi, a spokesman for the diocese. "He's definitely not willing to talk about Rwanda, but that is understandable because he suffered a great deal. From what we know of him, it's highly improbable that the accusations against him are true." In Rwanda in 1994 the church was the single most powerful institution after the government. But its clergy were not exempt from the country's pervasive racism and it failed miserably to prevent the genocide. The Vatican has since ignored appeals to purge its ranks of suspected killers. A few weeks ago it even questioned the objectivity of a Belgian court that gave two Rwandan Benedictine nuns long jail sentences for genocide. Rakiya Omaar, the director of African Rights, a respected London-based human rights organisation, said: "At the very least the church should have mounted an inquiry." Callers to the parish church of San Mauro a Signa in Florence yesterday were first told that Seromba was on holiday, but he later emerged briefly to deny the accusations. " I had nothing to do with the Nyange massacre," he said. "Leave me in peace, I don't want to talk." The Vatican declined to comment on allegations that it had put pressure on Italy to block Seromba's arrest. The priest's comfortable exile cannot end soon enough for the small band of survivors of Nyange, however. "I lost my father, my wife, my child, my stepmother, my young brother, my sisters and many others in the church," said Bertin Ndakubana, a parish councillor. "Where was the servant of God, Seromba, at that moment?" Additional reporting: John Follain, Rome
