Sex Case May Pry Open Finances of LDS Church - 7/17/01 - by Elizabeth Neff
The Salt Lake Tribune  "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is
fighting to keep its finances confidential in an Oregon lawsuit seeking more
than $1.5 billion in damages from the church. Plaintiff Jeremiah Scott, 22,
of California, sued the church in Oregon state court after an LDS ward Sunday
school teacher was convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing him in Portland
when he was 11 years old. The suit alleges negligence and intentional
infliction of emotional distress, claiming church officials knew Franklin
Richard Curtis was a pedophile, but did not warn Scott's parents before they
took Curtis into their home. Church attorneys have told Scott the church is
able to pay punitive damages of $162 million, or twice the amount of the
largest punitive damages award in Oregon history.

0961.  Missile intercept a success

SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) -- A modified Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic
Missile prototype interceptor successfully targeted and destroyed an unarmed
Minuteman II ICBM target vehicle over the central Pacific Ocean on July 14.

The planned interception took place about 10 minutes after the interceptor
was launched, at an altitude of more than 140 miles above the Earth. The
interceptor destroyed the unarmed warhead at about 15,000 mph.

The test was conducted in support of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense
Segment, formerly called the National Missile Defense Program, by the
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization in Washington, and the 30th Space
Wing, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

An ICBM target vehicle was launched from Vandenberg at 10:40 p.m. EDT. The
ICBM prototype interceptor was launched from the Ronald Reagan Missile Site
Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, 4,800 miles away,
about 20 minutes later.

"The early indications we have is that everything worked in a nominal mode,"
said Lt. Gen. Ronald Kadish, director of BMDO.

"These tests take several weeks to deduce the data, but we believe we have a
successful test in all aspects at this time," he said. "This test, though,
is one stop on a journey. We have a long road ahead in all the missile
defense activities."

Kadish said he does not know for sure if the test met all objectives.

"In all probability, some of them were not (met)," he said. "But the early
indications are that we have performance in every one of the objectives of
the test."

Full test results would be available in two months, he said.

This is the first launch in support of the program this year. The last
launch took place July 7, 2000.

As the missileers cheered their success, airmen from Vandenberg's 30th
Security Forces Squadron took four Greenpeace members into custody for
trespassing on Vandenberg's Minuteman and Brown beaches during the launch
operation.

Vandenberg's 76th Helicopter Flight performed a medivac rescue mission for
two of the trespassers, who had been in the waters off the beaches. They
were treated for hypothermia.

The four were later transferred to the Kern County Jail.  (American Force
Information Service contributed to this story)

U.S. Plans to Test Space-Based Laser To Intercept Missiles

By Vernon Loeb
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, July 18, 2001; Page A03



HUNTSVILLE, Ala., July 17 -- A top Pentagon official said today that the Bush
administration plans to test a space-based laser interceptor as early as 2005
as part of its ambitious new missile defense agenda.

Robert Snyder, executive director of the Ballistic Missile Defense
Organization, told reporters at a missile defense conference here that $110
million has been included in the fiscal 2002 defense budget to study
technologies, including the space-based laser, aimed at hitting missiles in
their "boost" phase three to five minutes after launch.

The test would signal a return to the technology at the heart of the Reagan
administration's Strategic Defense Initiative, dubbed "Star Wars" by critics,
which defense planners envisioned as a space-based shield to protect the
United States against ballistic missile attack.

While deployment of space-based missile defenses would be a clear violation
of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, it is not clear whether an initial
test of the technology would violate the pact.

Bush administration officials, in any event, told Congress last week that
their missile defense plans, which call for possible "emergency" deployment
of ground-, air- and sea-based defenses by 2004, could violate the ABM Treaty
within months.

Beyond its treaty implications, testing a space-based laser also would
represent a first step toward "weaponizing" space, a move that critics say
could ignite a new arms race. No country has put weapons into orbit.

If deployed, space-based lasers would be mounted on satellites. Snyder said
the test envisioned for 2005 or 2006 most likely would involve launching a
prototype laser into space and then firing it back at a target in the earth's
atmosphere.

"It's not clear we know how we're going to do that," Snyder said, speaking at
the conference sponsored by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command.

In the first Bush administration, a space-based missile defense initiative
known as "Brilliant Pebbles" was considered but abandoned. It envisaged
between 3,600 and 4,000 satellites armed with space-based interceptors.

In California, meanwhile, federal prosecutors have charged 17 activists
associated with the environmental group Greenpeace with felony counts for
trying to disrupt Saturday's test of a ground-based missile defense system.

During the test, an interceptor fired from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall
Islands destroyed a dummy warhead launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in
California. Officials at Vandenberg confirmed that the Greenpeace protesters
delayed the launch for several minutes by piloting four Zodiac rubber boats
into a safety zone that extended into the ocean near the launch site.

Four protesters were apprehended as they swam to shore, officials said. Two
of the four were suffering from hypothermia and were flown to a hospital by
military helicopter. The other 13 were arrested by the FBI and Coast Guard
when they returned on the boats to San Luis Bay, officials said.

Seven of the 17 activists, all U.S. citizens, have been released on bond,
said Sharon McCaslin, a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles. She said the
government was appealing a magistrate's decision granting $20,000 bond to the
other 10, all foreign nationals, because it considers them flight risks.

Bonnie McDiarmid, a Greenpeace anti-nuclear campaigner, said the 17 have been
charged with offenses that carry sentences of up to 11 years and possible
$250,000 fines.

"We believe that 'Star Wars' is probably the single biggest threat to world
peace at the moment," McDiarmid said, referring to the missile defense test.
"It has the capability of igniting a whole new arms race."

Altered evidence

Indeed, a book could – and ought to be – written on the myriad details in
this investigation that raise alarms. In fact, no single bit of evidence says
"mechanical." Even the evidence at the very heart of the NTSB thesis – "the
inescapable conclusion that the cause [of the crash] was a fuel-air break up
in center wing tank that involved the explosion of the center wing tank" –
argues against that thesis.

Despite its name, the center wing tank sits in the fuselage under the
passenger seats. No one denies it blew up. The only questions are when and
how.

Cmdr. Donaldson argues that the fuel could have blown only if the center wing
tank were seriously disturbed by some external event. He has performed some
simple but telling experiments on this point. In the one, Donaldson dips a
lit match into a tin of Jet A Fuel. The fuel extinguishes the match. As he
notes, the Aviation Fuels Handbook says the same phenomenon will occur up to
127 degrees Fahrenheit with this fuel.

When, however, Donaldson sprays a candle flame with Jet A Fuel, the spray
erupts wildly into flame. This results, says Donaldson, "If something violent
happens and the fuel is misted into the atmosphere by kinetic energy."

In fact, in its own tests, the NTSB could not get any kind of explosion from
the Jet A fuel that they could use for analysis. So they had to test with
hotter fuels. Nor could the NTSB identify the spark that would ignite the
fuel especially since there is no wiring in the center fuel tank. Consider
this damning conclusion by an honest NTSB investigator at the final NTSB
hearing:


The search for the probable ignition location was pushed to the limits of
current technology. An accounting of the scientific uncertainties was
meticulously maintained throughout the entire experimental, computational and
analytic processes. In the end the uncertainties were too great to locate
probable location of ignition.


Comments Jim Sanders a bit more succinctly, "They spent 40 million trying to
find some scientist, somewhere in America to say this hypothesis would work.
They couldn't find one."

The IAMAW couldn't find anything either. In its final report, the machinists
union declares, "We conclude that the existing wiring recovered from flight
800 wreckage does not exhibit any evidence of improper maintenance or any
malfunction that lead to a spark or other discrepancy."

So why did the fuel tank blow up? The IAMAW came to its own conclusions: "A
high pressure event breached the fuselage and the fuselage unzipped due to
the event. The explosion was a result of this event."

A "high pressure event" is a technical way of suggesting an external force,
like a missile. Not surprisingly, the NTSB quietly suppressed the IAMAW
report.

Despite all the evidence to the contrary, the NTSB persisted at the final
hearing in its argument that there was no "physical evidence" of a bomb or
missile. NTSB staffers could do this with a straight face only because the
reconstructed plane showed no apparent sign of missile damage, even though
only 95 percent of the plane was alleged to be recovered and there were
gaping holes in the sides of the plane.

Something to remember here. The top NTSB brass was pushing a mechanical
thesis before much of anything was recovered. Indeed, it seems altogether
possible that in an administration notorious for misplacing evidence – the
McVeigh case only the most recent – the physical evidence from Flight 800 was
"misplaced" as well.

In a telling and amusing bit of ABC news footage, a man, who appears to be an
NYPD bomb expert, looks closely at a recovered part of the plane and says, "I
wish Clinton would get off his ass and do something about this terrorism." He
then comments to the FBI agent next to him that the part before him bore
obvious signs of an explosion. The agent leans in and quiets him. Sometime
before the final NTSB hearing this part apparently disappeared.

The NTSB, you see, could never "find" any physical evidence. That was their
Clintonian escape hatch, "find." During the Sanders' trial, a senior FBI
official, Ken Maxwell, under oath in court stated that the NTSB was not
allowed to see any evidence as it came off the ship, onto shore, or into the
hangar, it remained under FBI control during the entire process. The FBI
would go through it at will, taking anything that it wanted. This was stated
under oath as well.

Under oath, too, senior NTSB official Hank Hughes told a Senate committee
that FBI agents were caught in an internal sting at 3 a.m. removing Flight
800 evidence from a hangar Hughes controlled.

Commander Donaldson's allies within the investigation were telling him much
the same thing. In one specific case, a Donaldson source had

It is a good thing Major Meyer was not present at the NTSB hearing. Despite
the similarity of their names, the contrast between the major and the
"doctor" could not be starker. To visualize the laconic, no-nonsense Major
Meyer, imagine John Wayne in his gruff, mature period. Unlike Mayer, Major
Meyer got his experience with missiles the hard way, rescuing downed pilots
in Vietnam. He completed 46 missions in Vietnam, many north of the DMZ, and
was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. He describes what he saw on July
17 without hesitance:


It was definitely a rocket motor. What I saw explode was definitely ordnance.
I have enough experience. I saw one, two, three, four explosions before the
fireball. The explosion of the fuel tank was the last event, not the
initiating event. The initiating event was a high velocity explosion, not
fuel. It was ordnance.


The FBI agent in charge of the investigation, Jim Kallstrom, specifically
denounced Major Meyer and these other key witnesses. "I have no idea why they
say what they say," he blustered. "It's nonsense. It's stupid. It has no base
in fact at all." Remember, the FBI investigated Major Meyer for all of five
minutes.

There is some question, however, as to whether even the NTSB believed in the
ascending plane theory. Asked Jim Hall of Mayer in a telling exchange during
the 2000 hearing, "If you could show that the airplane did not climb after
the nose departed, would that change your analysis?"

"No, sir," Doctor Mayer replied. "Though we believe the plane climbed after
the nose departed … our analysis is not dependent on it."

They believe the plane climbed? Their analysis is not dependent on it? This,
from the same expert who testified an hour earlier that "We studied all the
witness reports. … They are consistent with crippled flight not a missile."

The questions remain. Why did no one in the major media challenge so
demonstrably weak a theory, let alone the CIA's inexplicable role in creating
it? Why did no one critique Mayer's appalling testimony? And a more vexing
question: Why did the NTSB and the CIA champion a theory in which they
themselves had little faith and in which almost no one else had any?

Missing pieces

"What troubles me most," says physicist Dr. Thomas Stalcup of the NTSB, "is
their insistence that there is no physical evidence of a criminal act or
explosion and that's completely false."

Even by the generous standards of the Clinton administration, this was a
troubled investigation. Not just in the witness testimony, but in every
salient detail. A quick review here gives some sense of the problem's
breadth.

Let's start with the radar. Although the FBI confiscated the radar data from
all reporting stations, they did an imperfect job of controlling them. As
mentioned earlier, the FAA reported a possible missile strike to the White
House immediately after the crash. In December 1996, the NTSB leaned on the
FAA to make it go away. Wrote Bernie Loeb, NTSB Director of Aviation Safety:

I would appreciate it if you could verify that all specialists and/or
managers … agree that there is no evidence within the FAA ATC radar of a
track that would suggest a high-speed target merged with TWA 800.

But the FAA was not quick to roll over. "Although we understand and share
your desire to allay public concern over this issue, we cannot comply with
your request," responded David Thomas, FAA Director of Accident
Investigation. "By alerting law-enforcement agencies, air-traffic control
personnel simply did what was prudent at the time and reported what appeared
to them to be a suspicious event. To do less would have been irresponsible."

At a House hearing in July of 1997, the NTSB argued lamely that the radar
tape showing the projectile "might not be authentic," but there is no good
reason to doubt its legitimacy. The FBI was concerned enough about leaked
radar data to confiscate a copy from retired United pilot Richard Russell.

"I'm offended by it," Russell told the AP. "They took my property away, but
that's the way they operate. I knew that they would be doing this. It's a
cover-up."

One of the Navy radar tapes, RP44, raises eyebrows as well, not for what is
on it, but for what isn't. The last sweep of the Riverhead data shows four
data points deleted right where Flight 800 was supposed to be.

"It's just like any investigation where evidence comes up missing, there
might be a reason," Dr. Stalcup argues, "but when you have data that's not
just missing but deleted that doesn't happen by itself."

Radar sweeps also picked up a good-sized ship speeding away from the crash
site at a brisk 30 knots. At first the Feds refused to acknowledge its
existence. Nearly six months later, Louis D. Schilioro, Actin

Zap. Salingerized.

As O'Meara's audiotape revealed, however, it was the mocking and evasive
Goelz who raised the issue of a missile, not O'Meara. Wrote Insight editor
Paul Roderiquez, "In my experience as a veteran newsman, journalists would
never roll over and allow government bureaucrats to use them to slime their
colleagues. Yet that precisely is what recently happened."

Goelz, by the way, had honed his transportation skills lobbying for riverboat
gambling interests on the Missouri. In 1992, he moved on to Tennessee where
he worked as a paid staffer for the Clinton-Gore get-out-the-vote effort. By
1997, he was the top administrator for the world's most sophisticated
accident investigation agency. Only in Clinton's America.

Much more chilling is the case of Jim and Liz Sanders. Aware of the
dissatisfaction within the TWA community, reporter Jim Sanders sought out a
few good sources at the investigation hangar on Long Island. Liz introduced
Jim to Terrel Stacey, a TWA manager and 747 pilot.

Stacey was identified to Sanders as "a straight arrow, go-by-the-rules kind
of guy," the least likely potential source. But given the consequences for
being wrong, that's exactly the kind of person Sanders hoped to find.

"What he told me over those first hours," relates Sanders, "was one thing –
'I know there's a cover-up in progress.'"

Soon after their meeting, Terrel Stacey began to feed Sanders a series of
documents related to the debris field – that is, what falls off a plane and
in what order. Sanders, a retired accident investigator for a California
police department, analyzed the sequence of events and saw what appeared to
be a path of destruction sweeping right across the plane.

When Sanders showed Stacey the path, Stacey for the first time connected that
destruction to a reddish residue trail across those very rows, 17-19.
According to Stacey, the FBI had taken samples of the residue months before
but had refused to share the analysis with the other investigators, including
Stacey, TWA's number two man on site.

Stacey knew the plane well. He had flown it from Paris to New York just the
day before the crash. Without prompting, he volunteered to take the next step
– secure some residue for testing. When he found he couldn't scrape the
residue off, Stacey removed two pinches of foam rubber out of a universe of
thousands and sent them to Sanders that night by FedEx.

Sanders had one sample tested in a California lab. He sent the second piece
of foam rubber to a producer at CBS News' 60 Minutes program for safekeeping
as prearranged. The elements identified by the lab proved to be consistent
with residue from a solid fuel missile or warhead explosion. On March 10,
1997, the Riverside Press-Enterprise in California ran a front-page story on
Sanders' research that was quickly picked up by other papers across America.

This was no longer a polite debate about theories. If Sanders' results were
right, then someone in the FBI had not merely made a mistake, he had
committed a crime. Sanders waited anxiously for an alternative explanation
from the feds. He knew they would have to provide one.

He didn't have to wait long. The day after the article appeared, March 11,
Dr. Bernard Loeb of the NTSB told a House Aviation Subcommittee, "One thing I
can say categorically is that there is no such thing as a red residue trail
in that airplane."

On March 7, however, the FBI's Jim Kallstrom had told The Riverside
Press-Enterprise, "There is a red residue trail. It has nothing to do with a
missile. I'm not going to get into it."

Who was lying about the residue trail, Kallstrom or Loeb? Again, it all
depends on what the meaning of "is" is. Between March 7, when the FBI learned
that a sample of the residue was out of its control, and March 11, when Loeb
testified, it seems likely that the relevant seatbacks had been ripped out of
the reconstructed airplane, never again to be seen. Technically, they may
have both been telling the truth.

As to the cause of the fuss, the missile residue, well it was really just
glue – or so said the NTSB. In truth, the glue hypothesis was pure damage
control. The media, as had become all too typical, never bothered to ask for
proof. They should have. The fabric sample that senior NTSB scientist Dr.
Merritt Birky sent to NASA for testing could have come from anywhere.

Said Birky in a tape-recorded conversation, "So, in trying to prove we have
the same samples as Sanders, I'm not sure it gets us very far. Supposing
Sanders' comes out differently?"


The samples did come out differently. Charlie Basset of NASA confirmed as
much. He signed a notarized statement saying the sample he tested had nothing
to do with the Sanders residue. It is not hard to t

Silenced: Flight 800 and the subversion of justice, part 1

--

--


Editor's note: On the evening of July 17, 1996, at 8:19 p.m., TWA Flight 800,
a Boeing 747, took off from Kennedy Airport, bound for Paris. At 8:31 p.m.,
over 730 people watched Flight 800 explode, killing all 230 of the people
aboard.

Not long afterwards, millions of Americans watched their televisions in
fascinated horror as search and rescue crews looked for survivors among the
flaming debris. Only dead bodies were recovered.

Flight 800 is mostly an ugly memory for people these days. The U.S.
government issued an explanation that a fuel tank had somehow exploded. Yet,
they flatly denied any evidence existed of foul play, including the
possibility that Flight 800 had been blown out of the air by a missile.

All but a few journalists accepted the government's version of events. Few
bothered to investigate the numerous eyewitnesses, the radar records and the
physical evidence that all suggested a strikingly different explanation of
Flight 800's untimely demise. And those few who did question the government's
version were made to look like fools or, worse, thrown in jail and prosecuted
as criminals for meddling in an official investigation.

What really happened to Flight 800? In light of recent FBI disclosures of
buried evidence that have resulted in a postponement of the execution of
convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, new questions are being
raised about other high-profile U.S. government terrorism investigations –
including the explosion of TWA Flight 800 in 1996.

Today, WorldNetDaily begins a daily five-part series of explosive
commentaries by independent writer and Emmy-award-winning producer Jack
Cashill detailing what he has learned in the course of producing "Silenced:
Flight 800 and The Subversion of Justice," a documentary video which presents
compelling evidence that Flight 800 was indeed shot down by missile fire and
of the massive cover-up that followed that tragic event by the federal
government.

Our dark places

"You don't want to go there, Jack."

I do not know how clichés emerge, but this one seems to have my name on it. I
have heard it said in recent weeks more times than I could count or care to
recall.

Not from my liberal friends. Willfully clueless the past eight years, these
folks have not even heard of, say, Juanita Broaddrick or the Sudanese aspirin
factory. Were I to tell them that the Clinton White House covered up a
missile strike on an American airline off the coast of Long Island, and that
I was producing a documentary about the same, they would think me daft.

My conservative friends, on the other hand, don't think me daft at all. Most
of them believe Clinton corrupt enough to attempt a crime of this magnitude,
and half of them think him capable. It is they who don't want me "to go
there."

"What if all evidence leads in that direction?" I ask.

It doesn't seem to matter. Like Conrad's Marlow, these otherwise rational
Main Streeters seem "unnerved by a sheer blank fright, pure abstract terror."
I wish I were overstating the problem, but I am not.

Too many ordinary citizens have reconciled themselves to an enduring heart of
American darkness, one that can swallow reputations and bank accounts whole
and possibly even lives. "Look what they did to Pierre Salinger." And it is
to these dark places they don't want me to go – even if Clinton no longer
mans the gate.

Kelly Creech, my editor on this project, still chuckles when he thinks of my
involvement. A Kennedy assassination buff (a troubling zeugma if there ever
was one), he has tried to convince me for years of the dark forces that
conspired to murder JFK. Something of an idealist, or perhaps just a naïf, I
have continued to insist on Lee Harvey Oswald alone, though lately with less
vigor. Kelly has been amused to see how this project has opened my eyes. He
is eager for the voyage.

So is my intrepid guide, James Sanders. Jim has journeyed up this river
before. It cost him everything but his life. Indeed, after writing the
best-seller, "The Downing of TWA Flight 800," he and wife Liz were arrested
and convicted of conspiracy, a sad moment in journalism history, all the more
shameful for its obscurity. Still, this good-hearted pair of felons remains
undeterred – even the sweet, fragile Liz, a former TWA attendant and trainer,
whose search for vindication subverts her need for peace.

For all their travails, the Sanders will stay the course. Like me, they
believe that the White House has been cleansed with Clinton's removal, but
not redeemed. Redemption will come not by "moving on" but by "going there"
wherever it is the truth takes us, no matter how disturbing that truth might
be.

Now here is a very generous man who along with Jim Traficant got into
some trouble with bribery, etc; but, this man pled guilty and said he
had sinned and he was sorry.

Seems to be one of the last big spenders; his father built 2 or 3
shopping malls and they reside in Youngstown, Ohio  which which needless
to say today, they have lost so much industry it is not as it used to be
but sitll has the connections to what some call, The Mob.

So - Here are some of the contributions this man has made   He does want
his daughter to run for congress..

Donations (Or Do some of these consitute maybe a little more than a
donation - say a bribe as with Traficant for that guy is indicted again)

Rep. Traficant Charged With Bribery

By M.R. KROPKO, Associated Press Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) - Rep. James A. Traficant Jr., whose brash talk and loud
clothes set him apart amid Washington's pinstripes and polish, was
indicted Friday on federal charges of selling local political favors and
making his office employees work his farm.

The 59-year-old conservative Democrat from the Youngstown area faces 10
counts, including racketeering, conspiracy to commit bribery, taking
illegal gratuities, and filing a false tax return.

Traficant won re-election in November to his ninth two-year term, even
though he had repeatedly said he expected to be indicted.
Just before the indictment was announced, the congressman said: ``I´m
as frightened as anyone can be.

I´m going to say this to the U.S. attorneys: You´d best defeat me,
because if I beat you, you´ll be working in Mingo Junction.´´
Mingo Junction is a small, remote Ohio town. Among other things, he is
accused of making three of his office workers bale hay, run and repair
farm equipment, repair barn walls and build a corral at his horse farm
just outside Youngstown, a Rust Belt city plagued by decades of mob
corruption.

He is also accused of doing local political favors for a businessman and
for contractors who had been hired to work at his farm. Also, he
allegedly received part of a staff member's pay to allow the man to
continue working for him. In addition, the indictment alleges Traficant
and his wife did not report all of their income in tax years 1998 and
1999.

If convicted on all charges, Traficant could get 63 years in prison and
$2.2 million in fines, and the House could vote to expel him.

In a statement, Traficant said the charges were brought by ``overzealous
bureaucrats´´ who employed ``pressure and intimidation.´´

The U.S. Justice Department (news - web sites) has been investigating
corruption in the Youngstown area for several years. Since the first
indictments in 1997, more than 70 people have been convicted, including
a judge, a prosecutor, a sheriff and a Traficant aide.

Traficant said he would defend himself in court, though he is not a
lawyer. He did the same thing in 1983 when he was acquitted of accepting
mob bribes while Mahoning County sheriff. He lost a U.S. Tax Court case
in 1987 stemming from the same issues.

``I have had a bull´s-eye on my back ever since I defeated the
Department of Justice (news - web sites), being the only American in
United States history to have defeated the Justice Department´´ in a
racketeering case while representing himself, Traficant said. Assistant
U.S. Attorney Craig Morford, the lead prosecutor in the Youngstown-area
corruption cases, had no comment on the indictment.

Traficant was first elected to Congress in 1984 and became known for his
unruly head of hair, his plaid pants, his colorful blazers with
contrasting white stitching and his provocative, arm-waving theatrics on
the House floor.

He is known to bellow ``Beam me up!´´ - a line from ``Star
Trek´´ - to show his disgust at something in government. The tax
code is a frequent target. He once declared: ``The White House will not
wise up until there is a Chinese rocket stuffed right up their
assets.´´ And he cited ``pantyhose crotch closer´´ as an example
of bad jobs left for Americans. He is the only member of the House
without a committee assignment.

Democrats denied him a committee seat after he voted for Republican
Dennis Hastert as speaker of the House. Since announcing he was a probe
target, Traficant had been on a tear against the Justice Department. He
took to the House floor last year and vowed to ``fight like a junkyard
dog´´ against any charges.

Traficant had made repeated corruption accusations against the FBI
former Attorney General Janet Reno and federal prosecutor

Singapore, better known for its electronics industry and financial services
than its defense posture, is steadily modernizing its armed forces with the
help of the United States to secure expanding economic interests in the
Asia-Pacific region. As part of Washington's efforts to contain China through
new military allies, Singapore will transition from a small, inert power to
one of the principal military players in the Asia Pacific.

Singapore, a city-state of 3.2 million people that likes to think of itself
as the Switzerland of Asia, has outlined plans to acquire dozens of new
attack helicopters, fighter aircraft, warships and other long-range land, sea
and air capabilities. These new tools will help round out a steady military
buildup begun in the mid-1990s to help Singapore actively ensure regional
stability.

Singapore is the Asian region's third-largest financial center, after Japan
and Hong Kong. It has carved itself out a small but lucrative niche in the
semiconductor manufacturing industry, producing 8 percent of the world market
in 1999. Singapore is also known for its stable political environment and
strong legal system. Moreover, unlike Switzerland, it has the vast
opportunities of an emerging Asia on its doorstep.

But the modernizing of Singapore's armed forces is transforming it into a key
link in the security chain that the United States is building around China.
Within the decade, Singapore will evolve from a relatively neutral
participant to a major regional player – a development reminiscent of its
days as a British military fortress during World War II. Washington will not
look solely to Singapore to keep Beijing in military isolation, but the tiny
nation will once again play a vital role in regional security affairs.

Like Israel, Singapore lacks strategic depth and is outnumbered by
potentially hostile neighbors. Its defense strategy, therefore, is two-fold:
Build an offensive-minded security force that can strike at potential enemies
before they harm Singapore, and seek the support and protection of the United
States.

Singapore, which spends $4 billion per year on defense, is well positioned to
acquire the weapons and technologies it needs. The arsenal it is building
will allow it to destroy enemies on the ground, pre-emptively seize strategic
territory, prevent rising piracy and intervene quickly and effectively in
Indonesia, Malaysia and other likely trouble spots in the contested South
China Sea.

On July 10, Singapore announced that it is seeking bids for up to two dozen
cutting-edge fighter jets, at an estimated value of $2 billion, to replace
its ageing fleet of A-5 Skyhawks. The deal would be signed in 2004, and
Singapore is looking closely at Boeing's F-15 Eagle and Lockheed Martin's
F-16 Fighting Falcon, according to Bloomberg.com. The U.S. Department of
Defense this month also made Singapore eligible for an additional 12
Boeing-built AH-64 Apache attack helicopters and related components at an
estimated cost of $617 million. Singapore currently has eight of the
tank-busting choppers.

In April, Singapore commissioned the RSS Persistence and the RSS Endeavor,
the last of four amphibious attack vessels being built to replace Singapore's
old County-class Landing Ship Tanks and Victory class corvettes. The new
amphibious ships, which can displace 6,000 tons and command a range of 5,000
nautical miles, are outfitted with state-of-the-art communications and other
automated tools that allow Singapore to operate effectively alongside the
United States and other advanced militaries.

On land, the first indigenously designed All Terrain Tracked Carrier (ATTC)
was delivered to Singapore's army in May. The ATTC "can transport troops and
equipment over soft muddy ground and difficult terrain impassable to other
vehicles," making it useful in a number of combat support and service
missions, Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Tony Tan Keng Yam said
March 8.

In tandem with its weapons purchases, Singapore is unfolding a "total
defense" strategy that includes alliances with like-minded nations. So far
this year, Singapore has conducted an anti-submarine warfare exercise with
India, dispatched soldi

[CTRL] Putin: NATO Should Be Replaced

Putin: NATO Should Be Replaced
By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer

MOSCOW (AP) - Days before meeting President Bush (news - web sites) and other
Western leaders, President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites) said Wednesday
that NATO (news - web sites) should be disbanded and replaced by a new
security organization in Europe that would include Russia.

Alternatively, he said, Russia could be allowed to join NATO - but he
stressed that Moscow was not pushing for that option.

``We do not see NATO as an enemy,'' Putin told reporters at the first
full-scale news conference in his 19 months as Russian leader. ``We do not
see a tragedy in its existence, but we also see no need for it.''

Russia has vehemently objected to NATO's eastward expansion, which began two
years ago with the incorporation of former Warsaw Pact members Poland,
Hungary and the Czech Republic. Moscow has pushed for the 54-nation
Organization for Security and Cooperation (news - web sites) in Europe or
some other umbrella group to take the lead in providing security in Europe
instead of NATO.

Putin said NATO, founded as a Cold War entity to oppose the Soviet bloc,
doesn't reflect Europe's new realities.

``We will never achieve unity in Europe until we create a single security and
defense space,'' he said. ``If we fail to do that ... we will continue to
mistrust each other.''

Putin also said that Russia did not plan to formulate a joint response with
China to the U.S. plans to construct a missile defense system. Both Moscow
and Beijing have objected vigorously to the Bush administration plans, which
they contend will throw the world's strategic stability off balance and spark
a new arms race.

Putin and Chinese President Jiang Zemin (news - web sites) signed a
friendship treaty this week that was seen as an attempt to counter what both
see as U.S. hegemony.

``Russia isn't planning any joint action in this sphere with China or any
other nation,'' Putin said. ``Russia has enough means of its own to respond
to any change in the field of strategic stability.''

Putin has previously said that Russia might put multiple warheads on its
nuclear missiles if Washington goes ahead with the missile defense shield.
Some high-ranking defense officials have warned that U.S. withdrawal from the
1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty would spark another arms race.

But Putin refrained from outlining any military responses to U.S. moves
toward a missile defense system.

The press conference for 500 reporters was a first for Putin at the Kremlin.
Usually he gives more restricted interviews with Russian journalists at which
his aides often pre-screen questions, and Wednesday's appearance was a chance
to show his growing confidence.

Putin was at ease responding to the journalists - even throwing in a joke
after a question from Radio Liberty, a U.S.-funded station his government has
differed with in the past.

But he grew visibly irritated when asked about alleged abuses by Russian
soldiers in Chechnya (news - web sites) and, with a stony glare, insisted
that the military had put an end to lawlessness in the breakaway republic.

``Say 'thank you' to us for that at least,'' he said.

``Did you know that the (rebel) fighters have killed 40 district heads and
imams - old people? Why don't you ask me about that? Why don't you ask me how
we are fighting those criminals?'' he said.

Putin said he was looking forward to meeting with Bush at this weekend's
Group of Eight summit in Genoa, Italy. He and Bush developed a good rapport
during their first meeting last month in Slovenia, Putin said.

``He is a rather warm person, pleasant to talk to, and I would even say,
maybe I shouldn't say this, but he seemed to me a little sentimental,'' Putin
said.

On domestic policy, Putin voiced respect for the Soviet legacy but said he
was intent on ridding Russia of some of the worst Soviet excesses, including
``super-centralization'' and excessive military budgets.

Putin also said he opposed the removal of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin's
body from its mausoleum in Red Square for burial. Communists and their
supporters vehemently object to the possibility, while their opponents say
leaving Lenin in a place of honor undercuts Russia's young democracy.

``Many people connect their own lives with the name of Lenin,'' Putin said.
``Burying Lenin would mean ... that they had lived in vain.''

``I'm trying not to do anything to disturb civil peace and the consolidation
of society,'' he said.

I resemble that remark!  :-)  Even though I'm not exactly the average

as a classic ("simple") case of dualism or a struggle for power over the

add to the complexity, but the story is simple enough.

New Prison Diet Aims to Reduce Violence
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Some of Mexico's most violent prisoners will be put on a new 
diet rich in iron and calcium to offset the deleterious effects of excessive manganese 
that promote violent behavior, program officials said on Tuesday.

``Manganese decreases dopamine ... and that causes violent behavior, something we've 
been seeing since 1970 when the soy-based baby milks, which contain 50 times more 
manganese than mother's milk, were introduced,'' explained Joaquin Senderos, Mexican 
representative of California-based Violence Research Foundation.

He said a group of volunteers at one Mexico City prison will soon receive the diet 
based on clinical studies supported by the foundation.

Foundation founder and president Everett Hodges said prison violence fell by 38 
percent during a six-month dietary trial that involved some 133 U.S. prisoners.

The foundation plans to seek Mexican universities with whom it can co-sponsor dietary 
trials in local jails. It would pay for the food while the university would measure 
violence reduction in test groups of volunteer prisoners.

The foundation said it will meet this week with Mexico City prison officials to launch 
the dietary experiment. It hopes positive results in Mexico will lead to similar 
dietary trials elsewhere in Latin America.

Re: [CTRL] Civilian Work Camps, Police State Weaponry,

-Caveat Lector-

the costs of
> globalisation exaggerrated by its opponents

NO the costs of globalisation are definitely not exaggerated,
you can smell the stench in the air, taste it in the water,
I suggest that you go and look through the archives of the
United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, and
look at the illegal and immoral behaviour of industry eg.
in the Volta Redonda in Brazil.

Your straw men devils appear to be :

1.  anti-capitalists (who are going to hate it anyway), good old-fashioned
> economic nationalists (who have a vested interest in maintaining autarky)
or
> finally, anarchists (revolutionary dreamers). Its benefits are also
> exaggerrated by its proponents, but we already knew that didn't we...?

but you missed one out - the most important one - PRO-LIFERS
just people with common sense who don't want to be poisoned in
mind, body and spirit and who want the same for their children.

Globalism has demonstrated an ANTI-LIFE agenda. [see below]

1. replacement of the human reproductive process with technology
2. poisoning the diet
3. invasive surveillance
4. criminalisation of innocent beliefs
5. promotion of gender dysfunction
6. flaunting laws and constitutions
7. disregard for shared natural resources
8. dumbing down of the educational system
9. unfunded disease control
10. restriction of access to information
11.destruction of wholesome values
12.dealing arms and drugs to unstable regimes
13.exploding nuclear arsenal without public consent
14.aggressive information warfare
15. lack of real scientific [as opposed to technological] progress
16. misuse of conventional warfare
19. lack of infrastructure funding
20. criminalisation of ethnic cultural resources and innocent traditions

those are just some of the reasons I oppose globalisation -
however I don't have to do so violently - I may from time to time remark-

excuse me officer - but I apologise if my head is repeatedly banging against
your boot,  or, ah the x15 baton from strategic export company taiwan -
fine choice officer let us hope that my cranium doesn't challenge the fine
finish.
But besides - you're living in a sad world if you do not believe that
governments are capable of orchestrating violence and giving peaceful
protest a bad name.

[CTRL] Middle Ages Redux

[flw]

-Caveat Lector-

National Post, Canada: Europe is about to experience one of its first
medieval battles in 600 years. Scholars of medieval weaponry are anxiously
anticipating this week's G8 summit in Genoa, as the expected confrontation
between anti-globalization protesters and police will take the form of a
medieval siege, and will utilize a picturesque mode of warfare that hasn't
been witnessed for centuries. Demonstrators are assembling wooden siege
carts, giant catapults to launch rotten fish and other projectiles at
authorities, and battering rams to infiltrate security barriers in one of
Europe's great medieval port . . . While there are laws against handguns and
carrying concealed weapons such as knives, modern legal codes have no
specific provisions outlawing catapults or battering rams.

Re: [CTRL] Condit's Faulty Alibi Ignored

[YnrChyldzWyld]

-Caveat Lector-

>Vice President Dick Cheney had met privately with Condit for 45 minutes the

>day before, for instance.

This is the first time I've ever seen mentione the exact length of time
Condit's meeting with Cheney lasted...

According to reports, whomever was working on Levy's computer in her
apartment the morning of 5/1 logged off between 12:30 and 1pm; Condit's
meeting with Cheney began at 1pm, a meeting we now know lasted 45 minutes.

According to the schedule Condit's own people have provided, he returned to
his office around 3pm...

Which leaves a gap of 75 minutes...

The Klingle Mansion in Rock Creek Park, one of the places searched for via
MapQuest on Levy's computer that morning, is only about 15 minutes by car
from where Condit met with Cheney, also the same time to travel by car back
to his office...

According to Condit's schedule, after returning to his office at 3, he then
supposedly had a doctor's appointment at 5pm...it's a shame that
doctor-patient confidentiality rules preclude the doctor from revealing
whether Condit indeed visited him (or her) that day, or in revealing whether
this appointment had been made some time previously or had been made on
short notice that day or the day before...

But then Condit's schedule claimed he met with the ABC reporter at 6, which
we now know isn't true because the meeting in fact took place on the next
night...but it implies that whatever Condit saw his doctor for, it was for
something minor which allowed Condit to conclude his business there and
supposedly meet the reporter at 6...

It doesn't matter that the meeting didn't really happen that night...what
matters is that Condit and his staff sought to present the doctor's
appointment as only being approximately 30 minutes or so in length...

If that was indeed true, and we now know that Condit didn't have the 6pm
meeting with the reporter until the next night, then we have another gap in
Condit's day on the 1st, a gap again of a little over an hour...

Of course, if the doctor's appointment is also a lie, then the time gap
would have been even longer...

So we now know of TWO significant gaps in Condit's schedule for that day,
gaps that he doesn't seem to be too forthcoming to explain...

[Dr Umbji]

-Caveat Lector-

I never said I was a doctor of anything and nor am I. "Dr Umbj" is not what I
put down as my name when I resubscribed but for some reason that's what has
come up. But if it amuses you Mr Hennessey I will retain it.

But let me reiterate my point that if anyone has a cartoon like image of the
world, of a simple dichotomy of "good vs evil", it's the anti-globalisation
demonstrators with their emotive oversimplified claims that an evil
capitalist juggernaut of multinational corporations is taking over the world,
submerging democracy while stripmining the poor regions. The reality, at
least in my humble un-PHDed opinion, has a grey hue with the costs of
globalisation exaggerrated by its opponents who tend be either
anti-capitalists (who are going to hate it anyway), good old-fashioned
economic nationalists (who have a vested interest in maintaining autarky) or
finally, anarchists (revolutionary dreamers). Its benefits are also
exaggerrated by its proponents, but we already knew that didn't we...?

[CTRL] Fwd: Konformist: Michael Aquino Responds

[Kris Millegan]

Please send as far and wide as possible.

Thanks,

Robert Sterling
Editor, The Konformist
http://www.konformist.com


US Army Lt. Colonel Michael Aquino is a notorious figure within the
conspiracy subculture.  Founder of the Temple of Set (after leaving
the Church of Satan), Aquino is perhaps best known in con circles for
his involvement in a sex abuse scandal at the Presidio.  He is also
the winner of the Beast of the Month for July 1997.

In 1999, I put up the Aquino files on this site at the request of
Curio Jones.  (It was soon taken down at the request of Curio, after
getting heat from abuse victims who disapproved of The Konformist
site.)  In email, I informed Aquino of this, and offered to put up
any response he had.

Here is the first detailed written response to the allegations that
he has okayed for my release.  Much of the background is lost, but if
you check out his BOTM profile and the Disinfo.com profile of him,
you'll be able to fill in the blanks.

If anyone chooses to dispute his version, I encourage you to email me
an opposing view, just as I offered him.

Thank you,

Robert Sterling
Editor, The Konformist

>But just exactly WAS going on at the Presidio remains
>puzzling, mainly due to the fact that there never was a trial.

Following the publication of the "recovered memories
of Satanic ritual abuse" book _Michelle Remembers_
in 1980, the United States and other Anglo-American
countries went through a decade of "SRA" scares and
witch-hunts. After the 1984 McMartin Preschool became
internationally publicized in one such scare, day-care
facilities generally became targets of "SRA" witch-
hunt instigators.

The epidemic extended to U.S. military services as well,
including 15 U.S. Army day-care centers and elementary
schools by 1987. In late 1986 it was the turn of the
Presidio of San Francisco.

On 9/28/86 the _San Francisco Examiner_ began a series
of 8 front-page stories sensationalizing the witch-hunts.
Approximately a month later one set of Presidio parents
claimed that their son might have been anally raped by
one of the day-care teachers, Gary Hambright, and the
scare was off and running, with scores of children being
"abuse-diagnosed" by a "play-therapist" despite not a
single published confirmation of actual physical harm to
any child. Hambright denied any "abusing" whatever, and
all of the other teachers and staff supported him.

As in other witch-hunts it made no difference: Over
the next year Hambright was suspended, indicted, charges
dropped, reindicted, charges redropped amidst a massive
media frenzy. Parents rushed to file over $84 million in
claims, as was also routine in such witch-hunts. [The
previous year a similar, highly-publicized witch-hunt at
West Point had resulted in $110 million claims.]

Hambright was originally indicted 12/86 on the basis of
allegations made by the Tobin parents (which kicked off the
witchhunt). This indictment was dismissed 3/87 on the
grounds of hearsay.

After more parent/therapist input to investigators, Hambright
was reindicted 9/87 on "two counts of oral copulation and 10
counts of lewd & lascivious conduct" (_SF Chronicle_ 1/4/88).
All of these charges were dropped by 2/17/88. On 2/18/88
the _Chronicle_ said:

"The final count of oral copulation against the former Southern
Baptist minister was dismissed by U.S. District Judge William
Schwarzer after the parents of the alleged victim said their child
could not withstand the rigors of the trial."

[The Tobins originally alleged "anal rape" of their son by
Hambright. When a pediatrician refuted any evidence of this
on S.F. television, the allegation was promptly switched to "oral
copulation".]

No news article that I have ever read indicated that there was a
shred of *physical* evidence showing that *any* child at the
Presidio had been sexually abused in connection with that scam.
I say "news article" because I was not privy to investigators'
records on the Hambright allegations, and can verify only what
I read in the media.

Partway through the investigation a stir was created when the
media announced that several of the children had been diagnosed
with Chlamydia. However (a) the Army later announced the tests
were unreliable, (b) no retesting of the children was ever conducted,
(c) Chlamydia can be transmitted by direct contact with any
mucuous membrane [such as mouth or eyes], (d) no testing of
the children's parents for this disease was conducted, and
(e) reportedly Hambright did not have this disease. [For that
matter, as verified by our own medical records, neither my wife
Lilith nor I has ever had it either.]

The *only* "evidence" against Hambright thus consisted of
parental hearsay allegations and the allegations of "therapist"
Debbie Hickey, the Army psychiatrist who conducted the "play
therapy" indoctrination sessions for the children once the scam
got underway.

[CTRL] Mickey Mouse World - Goofy Ideas.

>
> Nor is it an anti-Establishment cartoon.

No I have to disagree there -
One agrees that the establishment is in charge and prevails
One agrees that the military industrial complex tends to implement an
anti-human agenda -
eg. untested GM products, fluoridation of water, destruction of
sexual/gender values reproductive instincts and pro Cloning,
establishments have a history of promoting holocausts eg. pol pot, stalin,
nazi germany
further during ww2 multinational companies continued to trade irrespective
of national territorial and social disagreements -

therefore in the face of such overwhelming force - and such concentrated
stress - the only natural and completely free and effective stress releasing
mechanism known to humanity is laughter.
I firmly believe that the more people can laugh at this ridiculous and alien
hoax the better eg. that national society for the prevention of cruelty to
fish and the bloodthirsty boyscouts.

yep laughter is the greatest stress releasing mechanism known to mankind -
its free, its healthy and it keeps you sane -
As far as I'm concerned the establishment has as much rational ontology as a
walt disney cartoon - a slaughterhouse thinly disguised as a walt disney
theme park - the politicians etc are like cartoon characters - they really
shouldn't survive that fall etc -
no known laws apply - and strange people purporting to be academics calling
themselves doctors and professors are passing ridiculous laws and consuming
budgets with nonsense.
just don't look too closely at what they are writing or doing.

I believe the establishment is a cartoon - and I resent having to pay money
to patronise it - but it is a never ending source of laughter.

[CTRL] Yemeni Intelligence Official Blames U.S. For USS Cole Bombing

[William Shannon]

http://www.memri.org/



Posted: Monday, July 16, 2001

Special Dispatch No. 242: Al-Ahram Al-Arabi: A High-Ranking Yemenite
Intelligence Official Blames the US for the Cole Bombing

Al-Ahram Al-Arabi: A High-Ranking Yemenite Intelligence Official Blames the
US for the Cole Bombing

The leading Egyptian government paper, in its weekly supplement,(1) Al-Ahram
Al-Arabi, blames the US for the Cole bombing. Following are excerpts from the
report:

"According to the Egyptian weekly, the reasons for the crisis are
'disagreements between Washington and San'aa, regarding the method of the
criminal investigation carried out by Yemen.' As a result, 'the American
investigators have left the investigation in the port of Aden.'"

"However, it appears from the report that the disagreements between the US
and Yemen go deeper. A senior official in the Yemenite security apparatus
told Al-Ahram Al-Arabi that there was evidence that the US itself was
responsible for the explosion as part of a conspiracy to take control over
the port of Aden."

"The 'senior security official' made his statements to the Egyptian weekly
anonymously, 'since he still holds an official and sensitive position.' He
said that the US wanted to take actual control over the port of Aden and
maintain intensive military, and even a legitimate presence there through a
naval base that may be used as a port, a financial center, and a service
center for its fleets that have been present in the area for more than ten
years. [The Americans] falsely claimed they protect the oil sources and keep
track of Iranian and Iraqi fundamentalist movements. They stated they also
follow Islamic fundamentalist terrorism in the Sudan and Somalia."

"It seems the American administration did not get Yemen's approval for these
ideas. It was made clear to the Americans that Yemen would not concede to
surrender the port of Aden so shamefully, and that Yemen plans to develop
this port into an international free trade zone, a place for tourism and
investments."

"As a result, the American thinking took a new turn and they had no
alternative but to artificially create an incident that would give Washington
the legitimacy to intervene and fulfill it plans to take control over the
Aden area and turn it into an American naval base with the approval of the
Yemenite authorities."

"This is how the explosion incident was [intentionally] carried out on the
Cole destroyer while it was harbored in the port of Aden."

"The first surprise to the Yemenite investigation team was the way the
explosion was carried out.

Apparently, one explosion happened from within the destroyer, along with
another, external, explosion that hit the body of the destroyer, as a result
of the booby-trapped dinghy. This caused much damage to the body of the Cole
destroyer. [Another surprise] was the behavior of the American
administration. Two giant airplanes came immediately to the airport, carrying
four American armored cars, weapons, and combat equipment. They headed
straight to the port and blocked the dock were the Cole was harboring in
order to prevent any Yemenite official from entering the destroyer and
examining the explosion."

"The Yemenite source told Al-Ahram Al-Arabi that 'as part of his security
job, he conducted the investigation with the first suspect, whose preliminary
interrogation took place in a special building at the port of Aden, before he
was transported to jail. His first confession pointed to the method in which
the dinghy, which had not been made in Yemen, was detonated. In addition, the
type of materials that were used in the explosion were not available within
the Yemenite market. There were also some signs that the crew of the
destroyer was expecting the attack at a specific time, and that there was a
man on board the destroyer who followed the motion of the booby-trapped
dinghy which took a specific course on its way to the destroyer."

"The Yemenite source 'expressed fear that in the coming weeks we will witness
another American surprise whose purpose will be to regain foothold in the
port of Aden.'"

[CTRL] CIA In Morocco

Moroccan Rights Groups Ask CIA to Open Files

RABAT (Reuters) - Two Moroccan independent human rights groups asked the U.S.
Central Intelligence Agency (news - web sites) (CIA (news - web sites)) on
Tuesday to release files related to Morocco's alleged repression of political
dissidents over the past decades.

The groups AMDH and OMDH, in an open letter addressed to President Bush (news
- web sites), said information revealed by a Moroccan former secret agent
showed the CIA had a hand in what has become known in Morocco as the
country's ``dark past.''

The agent, Ahmed Boukhari, told France's Le Monde newspaper and the Moroccan
weekly Le Journal of the circumstances surrounding the death of Moroccan
opposition leader Mehdi Ben Barka in Paris in 1965 and specifically mentioned
the CIA.

``The information shows that CIA cadres were responsible from 1960 for
drawing up plans and programs for the Moroccan secret services, their
equipment and training,'' the two groups said in a letter faxed to the media.

These CIA officials were ``involved in, directed or were aware of extremely
dangerous criminal acts systematically committed by the Moroccan services
such as kidnappings, torture, abductions, killings and dissolving bodies,''
it added.

Ben Barka, a charismatic leftist leader who fled into exile during the early
years of Morocco's independence from France, disappeared in October 1965.

Boukhari, like others in the past, said Ben Barka was seized in broad
daylight in the Paris Latin Quarter and driven to a house on the outskirts of
the city, where he died after being tortured by senior Moroccan military
officials.

Ben Barka's body was then taken back to Rabat and disposed of in an acid vat,
Boukhari said.

In an article based on his account, Le Monde and Le Journal wrote last month
that three U.S. expatriates, identified as ''Colonel Martin, Steve and
Scott'' worked for the CIA in the counter-insurgency department of the
Moroccan secret services at the time of Ben Barka's reported death.

The two human rights groups said ``thousands of important documents related
to this ugly period are in the hands of U.S. intelligence and are still under
a lid of secrecy decades later.''

RICO Used in Wrongful-Termination Suit

Mary Alice Robbins (Texas Lawyer) --

Depositions are under way in a suit pending in Fort Worth, Texas' 17th
District Court that alleges a Lubbock man was fired by an American
defense contractor in Bosnia because he blew the whistle on supervisors
and co-workers who bought illegal firearms and engaged in buying and
selling underage girls as domestic help and sex slaves.

Ben Johnston alleges in Johnston v. DynCorp Inc., et al. that his former
employer breached his three-year contract when he was fired without cause
last June.

DynCorp's lawyer, Irving, Texas, sole practitioner Greg Marks, declines
to be interviewed because the corporation has a policy against discussing
pending litigation. Marks says he filed a routine answer denying all
Johnston's allegations.

Johnston worked as a civilian aircraft mechanic for DynCorp, which has a
contract with the U.S. Army to maintain military helicopters on the
Comanche Base at Tuzla, Bosnia. He accepted the contract with DynCorp in
November 1998 and was earning about $120,000 a year, according to the
suit.

DynCorp, a Delaware corporation, oversees its international operations
from its offices in Fort Worth.

The suit filed last August by Lubbock lawyer Kevin Glasheen alleges that
DynCorp engaged in racketeering activities in violation of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and that Johnston was terminated
because he refused to commit an illegal act. If Johnston had not reported
his fellow employees' alleged unlawful activities, he could have been
charged under federal law with misprision of a felony, says Glasheen, a
shareholder in Fadduol, Glasheen & Valles in Lubbock.

Glasheen says the issues addressed in the case involve "leading-edge
stuff" in employment law. "This is going to be a case of first
impression," he says.

Among the allegations in the suit are that the corporation and its
employees engaged in peonage and slavery, sexually exploiting children,
dealing in obscene material and procuring fraudulent identification
documents.

The suit alleges that DynCorp employees purchased the passports of women
and girls from Serbian Mafia members who brought them into Bosnia from
other Eastern European countries. The corporation's employees sometimes
resold the passports, alleges Richard Hardy, an associate with Fadduol,
Glasheen who also represents Johnston.

As alleged in the suit, Johnston told his DynCorp supervisor that
co-workers were buying women from the Mafia and was told "to mind his own
business." According to the suit, Johnston reported the alleged
activities to the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command in March 2000
and his whistle-blowing allegedly led to his termination and forced him
and his Bosnian wife, Denisa, to flee the country.

Johnston and his wife were forced into protective custody by the CID for
fear that they would face retaliation by the Serbian Mafia and DynCorp
employees, the suit alleges.

A plaintiff who brings a civil RICO conspiracy claim must show that he
was injured by an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. The U.S.
Supreme Court ruled last year in Beck v. Prupis that a plaintiff must
prove the overt act that injured him was an "act of racketeering."

"In our situation, we're claiming tampering with a witness," Glasheen
says.

"Mr. Johnston was terminated in order to preserve the status quo of
DynCorp in Bosnia, the sanctioned buying and selling of women, minor
girls, firearms, forged passports and frequent trips to whorehouses," the
suit alleges.

NOVEL QUESTION

Glasheen says the suit raises the question of whether the termination of
an employee can be considered obstruction of justice under RICO. It also
raises the question of whether reporting fellow workers' alleged illegal
activities to law enforcement constitutes refusal to commit an illegal
act, he says.

Johnston alleges that the corporation's conduct toward him was willful or
malicious, entitling him to recover punitive damages.

Jonathan Lyons, a DynCorp supervisor in Bosnia, signed the June 9, 2000,
letter of discharge that ended Johnston's employment with the
corporation. The letter said Johnston "brought discredit to the company
and the U.S. Army" while working in Bosnia.

In a Feb. 21 deposition, Lyons testified that Johnston was fired because
of unverifiable statements he made to the Army CID about fellow
employees. "That was my understanding," Lyons testified, according to a
transcript of the deposition.

Charlene Wheeless, DynCorp's vice president of communications, says the
corporation adheres to the strictest of ethical standards. "The idea that
we, DynCorp, would violate any law is incredible," Wheeless sa

VOL. 20 NO. 43


THE DIRT ON BIG BROTHER

HE CAN USE YOUR NET SERVICE TO SPY ON YOU

Spies can bust into your computer without leaving their office

By Alex Roslin
JUN 8 - JUL 4, 2001


Is your computer watching you? The spectre of Big Brother just got a giant
step closer thanks to a controversial piece of software called DIRT.

Sold only to police, military and intelligence agencies, DIRT is causing a
small furor in civil liberties circles. It offers government operatives a
powerful tool to break into your home through the Internet and read
everything on your computer, without ever leaving their offices.

The brainchild of former NYPD cop Frank Jones, DIRT stands for Data
Interception by Remote Transmission. Depending on the model, it reportedly
costs anywhere from a few thousand dollars to over $200,000.

Even a well-secured computer is vulnerable. The software is said to be
powerful enough to penetrate many common security tools, including
firewalls. No anti-virus program on the market can detect it.

Reached at his company, New York-based Codex Data Systems, Jones was
tight-lipped about the software's capabilities and which governments he's
sold it to, calling that "proprietary information."

An ad for DIRT says even the technically challenged can use it to break
into a computer halfway around the globe. "Imagine being able to remotely
monitor any PC in the world any time you want," says the ad, posted earlier
this month on the intelligence Web site cryptome.org. "Suppose you could
read every keystroke. access and retrieve any file from the hard drive...
No more secrets..."

No police or intelligence agency in Canada or the U.S. has acknowledged
that it hacks. In fact, computer hacking by governments is one of the most
sensitive and highly classified government secrets anywhere in the world.

It goes by innocent-sounding terms like "computer network exploitation" and
"information operations."

But even military and intelligence officials acknowledge hacking is highly
dubious in the eyes of both domestic and international law.

"If you get caught mapping out the critical infrastructure of a power grid,
people might view it as an act of war," said one U.S. intelligence expert
who advises the Pentagon on information operations.

A renowned U.S. computer scientist who has testified before Congress and
advised the U.S. government on computer security tells NOW that hacking by
western military and intelligence services is an explosive issue.

"There are a lot of folks here who don't want to admit this is going on,"
he says, adding a warning: "You're on the tip of the iceberg here. You want
to be a little bit careful."

Canadian and U.S. police, for their part, are also interested in hacking to
get evidence for criminal cases. But here too, the legalities are extremely
questionable.

"There is no case law on it at all," says RCMP Inspector Peter McAughley,
head of the force's high-tech crime forensics unit. Yet he says that with a
little "tweaking," existing legislation in Canada does allow cops to hack
for evidence. "If it's an investigative avenue and it can be done legally,
it's something else we can throw in the tool box."

Already, Australia and New Zealand have adopted legislation to allow
security agencies to hack into citizens' computers and alter data to hide
traces of intrusions.

All this has civil libertarians aghast. "These are the worst kinds of
searches," says Barry Steinhardt, associate director of the American Civil
Liberties Union. "We do not think intelligence agencies or law enforcement
should be engaging in these black bag operations, especially without close
supervision from courts."

Canadian interest in hacking technology was revealed during a New York
trial in which DIRT vendor Frank Jones was charged with possession and
distribution of illegal wiretap equipment. Jones was convicted of a single
count of possessing illegal bugs, and sentenced in 1999 to 300 hours of
community service and five years of probation.

The court file includes letters from Jones's attorney, seeking permission
for Jones to travel to Canada three times during the trial to meet RCMP,
local and regional police, Interpol, Canadian government and military
officials to discuss software he had developed.

Michael Richardson, a former Canadian intelligence officer who was the
Canadian distributor for DIRT at the time, tells NOW the meetings were
arranged to discuss DIRT.

Richardson says he quit Codex after he learned of Jones's criminal
conviction and that Jones had secretly been selling DIRT to governments
like Peru and South Africa that have lax laws covering the use of evidence
in court.

"It's a very dangerous product. It can take control of a machine and
download what's on it," says Richardson.

Eric Schneider, the computer programmer who wrote DIRT, also doesn't have
much nice to say about Jones. A business partner in Codex, Schneider left
in 1999 f

Bank Pres Drags Journalist into NY Court Over Drug Expose

Electronic Frontier Foundation Urges U.S. Court to Respect Mexican Rulings

New York - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today urged a New York
state court to respect Mexican court rulings that have disallowed lawsuits
against independent journalist Al Giordano for publishing allegations of
drug trafficking by Banco Nacional de Mexico President Roberto Hernandez
Ramirez.

EFF seeks to protect the First Amendment rights of online, independent
journalists against the abusive "shopping" by large, powerful corporations
for favorable jurisdictions. The Mexican bank brought the case against a
Mexican-based website, produced solely by Giordano, the Narco News Bulletin:

http://www.narconews.com/.

"The EFF is concerned that the bank resorted to New York courts to try to
shut down this website because it could not do so in Mexican courts," said
Cindy Cohn, Legal Director for the EFF. "This kind of forum shopping
threatens to shut down one of the greatest benefits of the Internet --
giving a voice to independent, Internet-based journalists. Faced with having
to defend themselves in far-flung jurisdictions, many independent
journalists will simply choose not to publish on the Internet."

The case arises from allegations published on the the Narco News Bulletin
website that the bank president was involved in illegal activities in
Mexico. The EFF filed an amicus brief urging the New York court to rule that
it was improper for the bank to force Mr. Giordano into New York state court
for the statements posted on the website. The hearing on the case is set for
July 20, 2001.

Since April 18, 2000, Al Giordano has produced the Narco News Bulletin, an
online newspaper devoted to spirited investigative journalism on the
US-Latin America drug trade. Articles posted on the Narco News Bulletin
website have discussed allegations by others that Roberto Hernandez Ramirez,
the president of the Banco Nacional de Mexico, is involved in drug
trafficking. Some of these stories were reprinted articles from the Mexican
newspaper Por Esto!, published in Mexico by Mario Renato Menendez.

After failing three times to successfully sue Menendez in Mexico over the
allegations, Banco Nacional de Mexico now seeks to force Menendez and
Giordano to defend themselves in New York state court against the same basic
claims. The New York case groups together the allegations against the
Mexican-based website, hosted in Maryland, with statements made by Menendez
and Giordano in New York City on a radio broadcast and at a Columbia
University Law School conference.

The EFF amicus brief asked the Court to adopt one of two courses of action.
First, in order to deter abusive forum shopping, the EFF asked the court to
dismiss the case since Mexican law governs the dispute.
Alternatively, since Narconews.com mainly republished investigative work
done by others, the EFF asked the New York court to apply a distinct legal
standard for libel claims related to republished statements. The legal
standard requires that a republisher had, or should have had substantial
reasons to question the accuracy of the articles. EFF believes that this
higher liability standard for republishing on the Internet is necessary to
encourage the growth of Internet journalism.

[CTRL] ADL and 'Hate' Symbols

[Yardbird]

Popular, Obscure Symbols Defined as 'Hate'
(CNSNews.com) - Many images and symbols have been used in the promotion of racism and 
violent bigotry in western culture, but increasingly, the number of "hate" symbols is 
growing to include numerology, acronyms and religious symbols, some of which are 
generating confusion and even lawsuits over their use and interpretation. Many such 
symbols are cataloged by the Anti-Defamation League, which has created a database of 
symbols it says have been adopted by "neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, racist skinheads, 
racist prison gangs and other hate or extremist groups or movements," according to the 
organization's website.

[CTRL] Exporting Bloodshed

[radman]

-Caveat Lector-

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
July 16, 2001

Exporting Bloodshed

THE face of war has changed. No longer is it a weathered man in a helmet,
piloting a jet fighter or driving a tank in an organized regiment. Now it
is just as likely the face of a child, toting an assault rifle through a
jungle or down a village street. Or a bandit leading a loosely organized
group, claiming to be fighting for high ideals but often in it for nothing
more than plunder. Many of the bloody conflicts in developing countries are
international equivalents of gang wars, waged by rival warlords armed like
U.S. Marines.

The phenomenon of the child soldier is an atrocity made possible by the
unchecked growth in the international trade of technologically advanced
small arms. Of the 49 major conflicts in the 1990s, 46 were waged
exclusively with so-called small arms, including pistols, automatic
weapons, grenade launchers, mortars and shoulder-fired anti-aircraft
missiles. Of the 4 million people killed in these wars, 3.6 million were
civilians; 80 percent of those were women and children. After such
small-arms conflicts are "resolved," some 70 percent of civilians continue
to own their weapons, and many use them, waging wars without end in a
permanent culture of violent chaos. Since 1990, small-arms conflicts from
Sierra Leone to El Salvador to the Congo have killed 2 million children and
disabled 5 million more.

The United Nations is attempting to put together a plan to curb this
devastation. Key among the non-binding proposals it is weighing is
encouraging governments to "seriously consider" banning sales of military
weapons to civilians. As the world's leading exporter of these small arms,
the United States could have given the proposal real weight. Instead, on
the first day of the two-week meeting, the Bush administration
sledgehammered that idea with a statement of non-support, crippling
whatever slim chance the effort has of succeeding. Undersecretary of State
John Bolton said the U.S. opposes the U.N. draft because it might infringe
on Americans' right to bear arms and might hinder legitimate weapons trade.

A non-binding agreement to "consider" curbing privates sales of true
military weapons would not have any effect on American sportsmen and other
law-abiding gun owners. But the National Rifle Association and U.N.-haters
have woven a paranoid fantasy of a "global gun confiscation" conspiracy,
and found a friend in the White House.

The administration says it wants to attack the problem by focusing on the
illegal trade. But according to a survey presented at the meeting last
week, less than 1 percent of the 550 million known small arms in the world
are illegally in the hands of rebels. The administration's plan is not only
too little to solve the problem, it also is stripped of real teeth. Most
illegal weapons are first sold legally. The Bush administration has
reversed a position formerly held by the United States, and opposes a U.N.
proposal to mark and trace all small arms sales -- critical in discovering
the illegal sellers.

As it did in rejecting the Kyoto protocol on global warming, the
Antiballistic Missile Treaty and the formation of a permanent International
Criminal Court for war crimes at The Hague, the Bush administration again
has displayed arrogant apathy toward the rest of the world's problems and a
refusal to take a more productive role in resolving them.

of TWA Flight 800:

http://www.ultrahiq.net/Ubiquity/UbiQSum01/PartIII/PartIII.html

Part III presents multiple sightings of missile-like
phenomena off Long Island over time and new evidence
of military activity offshore below the crash. Perhaps
most important is a review of previous air-crash
investigations where officials made probable-cause
determinations based on eyewitness testimony alone,
even when it was not supported by physical evidence.

Unlike the Flight 800 crash, these other air-crash
investigations made no effort to discredit witnesses.
One NTSB crash report even indicates a standard that
"at least two witnesses" are the minimum requirement
for witness testimony to carry the weight of evidence.
Yet in the special case of the Flight 800 crash, the
rules were changed and witness testimony was redefined
as inherently "not evidence" regardless of the number
of corroborating witness accounts.

Part III then presents the single largest one-webpage
database of FBI witness reports suggesting a missile
launch and/or military activity near Flight 800:

[CTRL] COLOMBIA: Outsourcing War

[radman]

-Caveat Lector-

http://www.public-i.org/story_03a_071201.htm

NOTE: This is just one part of a larger report recently released by the
International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. To go their webpage
and look at the full report go to www.icij.org

Special Report
COLOMBIA
Outsourcing War

By The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists*

One of the striking characteristics of the U.S. operation in Colombia and
elsewhere in the Andes is hiring civilians for work traditionally carried
out by U.S. military and intelligence services.

The scope of these operations are coming to light with incidents such as
the April 20 shootdown of a small missionary plane by a Peruvian air force
pilot operating on intelligence provided by a CIA civilian contractor. That
attack killed an American missionary and her baby daughter. Two months
later, Colombian authorities subpoenaed three U.S. contract pilots to
testify about the 1998 bombing of civilians in the Colombian hamlet of
Santo Domingo. The pilots were working for Florida-based AirScan
International Inc., which at the time had a contract monitoring an oil
pipeline, partly owned by Occidental Petroleum. Colombian pilots under
investigation for the bombing have reportedly told a military court that
the AirScan pilots passed on coordinates for the attack.

Delegating to civilians jobs like spraying coca leaf, patrolling the skies
and providing intelligence services gives the U.S. government "plausible
deniability'' and flexibility. U.S. troops may be legally bound from
entering combat in Latin America; civilians under U.S. contract may not
have exactly the same restrictions. Nor, in the case of deaths in the
field, do the dependents of contract employees require the same level of
accountability as relatives of U.S. troops.

Today, much of the U.S. government's support of Colombian military
operations in the drug war is being outsourced. In 1999, Virginia-based
Military Professional Resources Inc., a veritable Who's Who of retired
senior U.S. military officers, was given an 18-month, $4.3 million contract
by the Pentagon to work with the Colombian military. MPRI sent 10
employees, led by a retired Army general, to Colombia, reportedly to
evaluate issues such as budgeting procedures, leadership recruitment and
training policies. MPRI employees were based inside the Colombian Armed
Forces High Command in Bogotá, along with U.S. Defense Department
personnel. The team, which did not include a single Spanish speaker, spent
more than a year at the Colombian Defense Ministry, holding frequent
meetings with staff officers and producing a thick binder that MPRI
described as Colombia's "keystone war fighting document.''

MPRI "is a professional services company engaged in defense related
contracting in the U.S. and international markets," the company says on its
Web site. Its mission statement asserts that MPRI, incorporated in 1988,
"can perform any task or accomplish any mission requiring defense related
expertise, military skills short of combat operations (or generalized
skills acquired through military service), law enforcement expertise, and
leadership development." MPRI's senior executives include a former U.S.
Army chief of staff, retired Gen. Carl Vuono, who led Army operations
during the invasion of Panama and the Gulf War; retired Gen. Crosbie Saint,
commander of the U.S. Army in Europe from 1988 to 1992; and former Defense
Intelligence Agency chief Ed Soyster. The company says it has more than 800
employees, and program offices in several U.S. states and foreign countries
in Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia. MPRI was bought by L-3
Communications in July 2000. L-3 Communications, which has nearly $2
billion in annual revenue but is a new name among defense contractors, was
formed in April 1997 with the purchase of business units that were part of
the Loral Corporation and Lockheed Martin merger in 1996.

MPRI's recommendations to Colombia reportedly did not impress the Colombian
Defense Ministry, and the contract was not renewed when it expired in March
2001. Colombian officers found meetings with the MPRI officials
excruciating and its recommendations irrelevant or inappropriate. MPRI's
advice, according to news reports, included such recommendations as, "Apply
appropriate military capability prudently,'' "Accurate and timely delivery
of mail enhances the quality of life for the men and women in the field,''
and "Hit the enemy with a closed fist; do not poke at him with fingers of
an open hand.''

The scope of what MPRI was paid to do is unclear. Documents supplied by the
Pentagon in response to a Freedom of Information request, seeking
information on all MPRI contracts in Latin America, did not reveal the
Colombian contract. Neither did a search of the government's database of
federal contracts. Soyster, MPRI's vice president for international
relations, refused to release a copy of the contract, as did the U.S. State
and Defense dep

Fundamentally corrupt?



Evidence mounts that GOP used every trick in the book

By Eric Alterman
MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR

July 15  -- Following an exhaustive, six-month investigation featuring 24
reporters interviewing more than 300 voters in 43 countries and examining
thousands of pages of documents, the New York Times has discovered mounds
of evidence of unequal treatment of overseas ballots in Florida on behalf
of the Republican candidate George Bush. Its report provides additional
evidence to demonstrate what almost all of us know but precious few are
willing to admit: the process that determined the outcome of the 2000
election was fundamentally corrupt.  Republicans dominated the public
relations battle, the behind-the-scenes political struggle, and ultimately
the fateful Supreme Court decision that handed them their tarnished victory.
ASKED TO COMMENT on the Times' revelations, Bush spokesperson Ari Fleischer
shot back, "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." No wonder. The Times has uncovered yet another example of
the Bush team's efforts to undermine the integrity of the Florida count, as
they fought, successfully in many instances to include illegal military
ballots for their man on the one hand and to exclude fully legal Gore
ballots on the other, making precisely contradictory accusations in each case.
  BOURGEOIS RIOT
Sunday morning pundits like ABC's Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts have
already been quick to pooh-pooh the Times report, although both implied
that they had not even read it in its entirety. They invited the
conservative Republican partisan Paul Gigot of the Wall Street Journal  the
man who cheered on the Republicans "bourgeois riot" that successfully shut
down the count in Palm Beach county  to mock his competitor for devoting so
much attention to a report that, by itself, failed to prove that Gore would
have won the election with a proper vote count. (It is a measure of the
conservative bias of the punditocracy, by the way, that ABC paired off the
extremist Gigot with Claire Shipman, a down-the-line, straightforward
reporter for ABC news.)
But the fact that the Times failed to prove that overseas ballots alone
might not have tipped the balance is secondary when placed in the larger
context of the rest of what we know about the election. That Al Gore won
national vote by a considerable margin  more than either Kennedy in 1960 or
Nixon in 1968  is undisputable. That he won the votes of Floridians using
the "voter's intent" standard outlined in that state's election laws is
also indisputable. (Republican lawyers fought against the use of this
standard in most cases, except in those that would have disqualified
overseas military ballots in favor of their candidate, in which case they
fought just as vociferously to employ it.) Illegally excluded "overvotes"
also would likely have given Gore a substantial margin of victory.
Now throw in the fact that Katherine Harris chose to arbitrarily exclude
215 votes from Palm Beach County because they arrived two hours late. Add
to these factors the deliberate theft of many of his legitimate overseas
votes and the illegal inclusion of hundreds of Republican votes and, once
again, it becomes harder and harder to conclude that the right man is
sitting in the Oval Office, no matter what standard one chooses.
FOG OF RHETORIC
The great victory of the Republicans during this entire process was to mask
the fact that they were seeking to undermine it behind the scenes and to
convince a supine media to play along. Over and over we heard that "the
votes had been counted and recounted" and Bush had won every time. Few
reporters were interested or able to penetrate into this fog of misleading
rhetoric to determine just how this "counting and recounting" was taking place.
For instance, the Times discovered:
For all of her vows of alleged impartiality, Florida Secretary of State
Katherine Harris, who repeatedly attempted to certify the election for the
man whose campaign she co-chaired, actually allowed the Republican
operatives to set up a "war room" in her office! They drafted her
statements and directed her strategy while she played quietly along.
In Washington, Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee helped the
campaign obtain private contact information for military voters, violating
the tradition of impartiality of the military and directly involving
Congress in a partisan hunt for pro-Bush votes.  The Supreme Court, in
ruling on the necessity of "equal protection" for all voters, deliberately
ignored the fact that this standard was wholly ignored by those canvassing
boards that the Republicans convinced to include illegal overseas ballots
in favor of Bush, while excluding many legally cast votes in favor of Gore.

Study Says 2000 Election Missed Millions of Votes

By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
New York Times

A look at the controversial overseas absentee vote, and its possible impact
on the 2000 Election.

A new study of the 2000 presidential election has found that 4 million to 6
million votes of the 100 million cast last November were not counted. The
survey cited faulty voting equipment, confusing ballots, voter error and
problems at polling places, including long lines, short hours and
inconvenient locations.

The study, released yesterday by scientists from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology, did not try
to determine whether the lost or ruined votes would have changed the
outcome of the race between George W. Bush and Al Gore.

The estimate of lost votes is at least twice as high as one released
earlier this month by House Democrats, who said that about two million
votes, or nearly 2 percent of the total, had not been counted.

More than eight months after Election Day, voting experts are still sorting
through the aftermath of one of the closest presidential races ever.
Yesterday's report is one of several expected in the next several weeks
that will examine what went wrong and make recommendations to guide
Congress and local governments as they seek to avoid the pitfalls of 2000.

While some analysts say time is running out to enact changes that could be
in place by the elections in 2002, the bipartisan sponsors of a bill
expected to be voted on in the House Science Committee this week are hoping
the M.I.T.-Caltech study will give their bill new urgency. The bill would
direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a federal
laboratory, and state and local election officials to set new technical
standards for voting equipment.

The academic study concluded that many of the mechanical and human problems
experienced last November could be solved if counties eliminated punch
cards and lever machines and bought optical-scan equipment, in which voters
use pencils to fill in circles, as on standardized tests.

The best such optical-scan equipment, the study said, counts ballots at the
precinct level and kicks them back to voters if they have been filled out
incorrectly. Other studies have reached the same conclusion.

"The U.S. can lower the number of lost votes in 2004 by replacing punch
cards and lever machines with optical scanning," the report said.

It also said counties needed to upgrade their voter registration systems,
chiefly by consolidating their registration lists in single databases that
are available by computer at each precinct. And it endorsed provisional
ballots, which allow a voter to vote even if his registration is in
question and to have the ballot counted later. Nineteen states now use
provisional ballots.

Such changes in the nation's election system could cost about $400 million
a year. The report said the nation's 3,000 counties spent $1 billion on
election administration in 2000.

"We view the price of these reforms. $4 per voter per year, as
  insurance:
insurance against problematic elections in the future, insurance that each
vote will be counted," the report said.

The report was the result of a six- month examination of the nation's
voting system by a team of computer scientists, mechanical engineers and
social scientists from the two universities, the nation's premier technical
institutes.

The goal of their continuing project, financed by the Carnegie Corporation
of New York, is to make recommendations about how computing technology can
best be harnessed to improve elections.

No system is fool-proof, the scientists said. Jehoshua Bruck, an electrical
engineer at Caltech, joked that the perfect system would read a voter's
mind while she imagined a picture of the White House.

Short of that, Stephen Ansolabehere, a political scientist at M.I.T.,
acknowledged that so far, the two institutes had determined that one of the
two best solutions was low-tech, the hand-counted paper ballot.

Just as reliable, the report said, are the optical-scan machines that count
ballots at the precinct level and give voters a second chance if they make
a mistake.

The scientists were skeptical of voting over the Internet. The Internet is
too vulnerable to large-scale fraud, they said.

from.
Cooper has confirmed to Salon that she was the reporter who met with Condit
at Tryst, a restaurant/bar in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, in the late
afternoon of May 2, to discuss the California energy crisis as well as
Condit's three meetings at the White House that week. In a timeline drafted
for the media, Condit staffers subsequently and erroneously reported that
meeting as having taken place a day earlier, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The
error in the timeline certainly seems significant, since it purportedly
creates an alibi for Condit on the day that Levy was last heard from.

On anything else having to do with the meeting, the erroneous report by
Condit's office or the failure of the police to contact her, Cooper had no
comment and referred questions to the ABC News public relations department.
"She's not been contacted by any law enforcement authorities," confirms
Su-Lin Nichols, a spokesperson for ABC News.

Cooper's admission comes on a day when D.C. police searched the heavy
underbrush of Rock Creek Park a full 10 weeks after the department was told
she was missing -- and yet she had left evidence on her computer showing that
one of her last known acts was to have used a map search engine on May 1 to
find the location of nearby Klingle Mansion. Though the police have searched
the area around Klingle Mansion before, this is the first time they have
conducted such a thorough search of the area.

It's another reminder that with the whole country watching, the D.C. police
have consistently inspired something less than confidence.

Cooper, reports a source close to her, is "surprised" that she has yet to
receive one phone call from the D.C. police to clear up this matter -- not to
mention discuss with her Condit's behavior or state of mind the day after a
woman with whom he was having an affair went missing.

The police's reaction? "First of all, I don't know if we know about that,"
said Sgt. Joseph Gentile, public information officer for the D.C. Police
Department, when asked about the mess-up in Condit's schedule. "Second of
all, why are you asking about Condit's state of mind? We're looking for Miss
Levy, we want to know about Miss Levy's state of mind. Third of all, we don't
identify the people we talk to."

Still, according to one former D.C. police sergeant, "Somebody should have
interviewed her."

Among many at ABC News, at least, that has been the prevailing wisdom: Every
day that passes without Cooper receiving a phone call from D.C. police raises
eyebrows and questions among both Cooper and her colleagues about the
thoroughness of the investigation. One week ago, on July 11, ABC News' Pierre
Thomas reported on "Nightline" that "in the timeline, [Condit] says he meets
with a reporter the evening of May 1 at a local coffee shop, from 6:30 until
7:30. That reporter, who works for ABC News, remembers the meeting taking
place the next day. Condit's office immediately puts out a statement saying
the timeline was only a draft. They still have not provided a corrected
version."

"It's just basic 101 police work," says local community activist Dorothy
Brizill, executive director of D.C. Watch, a local government watchdog group.
"You wonder whether or not they get it. When it comes to MPD" -- the
Metropolitan Police Department -- "they have been lacking in basic
investigative skills for years.

"Just the other day on Sunday's programs, you see [Police Chief] Ramsey
talking about the Internet traffic on her computer and you say, 'Wait a
minute! Did he just learn this?' and you just scratch your head," Brizill
says. "Anyone who has any familiarity with D.C. police will tell you the lack
of professionalism, the lack of skills."

Critics also wonder why it took D.C. police until their third interview with
Condit, on July 6, to get him to admit the nature of his relationship with
Levy when they had been told early on about the affair by Levy's aunt, Linda
Zamsky. They wonder about the low-rent computer-generated composite
photographs of Levy with different hairstyles that look like they were put
together by a 10-year-old with a scissors, Elmer's glue and a stack of old
People magazines from the 1970s.

They wonder about why it took D.C. police 10 weeks before asking Condit to
submit to a voluntary search of his home.

"No, we hadn't asked for a voluntary search," Ramsey told "Nightline." "That
issue had not co

National Security Agency names new CIO

By George Cahlink

The National Security Agency Tuesday tapped Richard Turner, former chief
information officer for the Federal Trade Commission, to oversee the
intelligence agency's information systems.

Turner, who has held key IT positions for NASA and the Army, replaces
Raymond Holter. Holter retired earlier this year after 34 years of
federal service.

"The National Security Agency has much to gain by hiring from [outside
the agency] for skills that are not directly related to our mission of
[signals intelligence] and information assurance," said Air Force Lt.
Gen. Michael Hayden, director of NSA, in a press release.

"We need to leverage the skills available from other sources that will
encourage us to focus on being world class in those skills that directly
define who we are."

Turner's top priority will be to oversee the outsourcing of hundreds of
agency IT support jobs under Project Groundbreaker. The outsourcing
deal, covering 10 years and valued at as much as $5 billion, calls for a
contractor to provide technology support for all of the agency's
technical needs that are not mission-critical. The winning contractor
will be named by July 31.

NSA also named Michael Lawrence as the agency's new chief of legislative
affairs on Tuesday. Lawrence, who has more than two decades of
legislative, intergovernmental and public affairs experience, will
report directly to Hayden.

China, Cuba, and the Internet Counterrevolution
New Working Paper Challenges Assumption that the
Internet Defies Authoritarian Control

A new Carnegie Endowment working paper finds that, contrary to conventional
wisdom, the Internet does not necessarily spell the demise of authoritarian
rule. Examining the cases of China and Cuba, Shanthi Kalathil and Taylor C.
Boas, two Carnegie information revolution experts, show that authoritarian
regimes can actually maintain control over the Internet s political impact
and benefit from the technology. Read the full text at:

The Internet and State Control in Authoritarian Regimes:
China, Cuba, and the Counterrevolution
Working Paper No. 21, by Shanthi Kalathil and Taylor C. Boas

Cuba and China represent two extremes of authoritarian Internet control:
Cuba has sought to limit the medium s political effects by carefully
circumscribing access to the Internet, while China has promoted widespread
access and relied on content filtering, monitoring, deterrence, and
self-censorship. These choices of strategy reflect a more fundamental
difference between the two regimes levels of economic liberalization. China
has promoted widespread Internet access to capitalize on the economic
potential of a booming information sector and technologically savvy
workforce, while Cuba, less committed to a market economy, has been willing
to forgo some of the Internet s potential economic benefits.

Kalathil and Boas show that China and Cuba, despite their strategy
differences, have effectively limited use of the Internet to challenge the
government. Beijing, for instance, has responded harshly to the Falun Gong
s use of the Internet with a series of technological measures, restrictive
laws, and well-publicized crackdowns, making it more difficult for
followers to communicate. Havana has carefully meted out access among civil
society organizations according to their political orientation while
dissident and human rights organizations have little hope of even gaining
access. Both governments have also been successful in making extensive use
of the Internet as a propaganda tool, partly by setting up their own web
sites to disseminate the official government line.

In a field where scholarly work has only begun to tread, this working paper
sets out a framework for analyzing the Internet strategies of different
authoritarian regimes, and helps to shed light on the impact of the
Internet on authoritarian rule in general.

Shanthi Kalathil, associate in the Information Revolution and World
Politics Project at the Carnegie Endowment, has written extensively on
Chinese market reforms and the political impact of the information revolution.

Taylor C. Boas, project associate in the Information Revolution and World
Politics Project, has published several articles on the impact of the
Internet in authoritarian regimes, with particular emphasis on Cuba.

Drop Your Guns!
by Jeff Elkins

Attorney General John Ashcroft in a speech to FBI employees issued a
call for the bureau to return to its core values. "The call to duty beckons
us," Ashcroft told agents. "It is a call to values. Without fidelity, without
bravery, without integrity, we cannot succeed."

I won’t attempt to deny that Bureau agents have displayed bravery
on occasion, but as an agency, they’ve long been short on fidelity
and integrity.

The FBI has been a tawdry organization from the beginning. Prior to
the reign of J. Edgar Hoover, as the Bureau of Investigation, it was a
inept, bungling agency, a retirement home for political hacks and
politician’s brothers-in-law. The one saving grace was a Congress
wise enough to disallow them use of firearms.

"When Prohibition ushered in a crime wave of gangsterism, kidnappings
and bank robberies, the people called out for peace, and the Bureau
responded." Ashcroft said. He could have just as well said "When The
Federal Government ushered in a crime wave of gangsterism…"

We’ve all heard the tales of Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde and
Machine Gun Kelly. During the investigation of a bank robbery of that
era, a FBI special agent was killed and an enraged J. Edgar Hoover
pushed a Bureau license to kill through a timid Congress and its been
downhill ever since. Now, I suppose even the Federal Bureau of Overdue
Congressional Library Books carry .40 Glocks and are ready to kill
unruly citizens. Name a single federal agency that does not have an
armed cadre of jackboots.

"When totalitarianism abroad threatened the institutions of democracy
at home, the republic called out for security, and the Bureau answered
the call." Ashcroft said. Actually, the FBI used a fear of communism to
expand its police powers. Any student of history knows that we were
indeed infiltrated by Soviet agents, most of them employees of the
federal government. Hoover’s FBI of that era did little against the real
threat. However, it significantly reduced liberty for individual  Americans.

"When discrimination threatened to turn citizen against citizen and
neighbor against neighbor, the country called out for justice, and the
Bureau helped open the door of opportunity to all Americans equally."
Ashcroft says. And in doing so, the FBI was instrumental in closing
the door of individual state sovereignty. I firmly believe that
the racial barriers of the past were well on the way to falling,
mainly from their own internal flaws, just as the Berlin wall did.
Federal interference has meant a loss of real freedom for us all,
most especially for Black Americans. The FBI did us no favors here.

"And when terrorism threatened American citizens living and traveling
abroad – and then reached within our borders – the nation called
out for safety, and the Bureau was there." Ashcroft says. Dubious
safety at the expense of your traditional freedom as an American
citizen. Remember that the next time you travel and some overbearing
little airline commissar demands: "Your Papers Please!"

"At any given time, the FBI is working on approximately 100,000 cases.
Last year the Bureau issued over 19,000 indictments and secured
over 21,000 convictions." Ashcroft says. Just how many of those
19,000 indictments and 21,000 convictions were obtained under
unconstitutional laws and by pit-bull prosecutors seeking a conviction at
any cost?

Ashcroft tells us: "In a republic whose law enforcement traditions are
rooted in the states, the cities and the towns, a national crime fighting
organization arose. When it was created in 1908, the FBI counted 34
agents among its ranks. Today, by answering the call to duty, the
Bureau has grown to a total working team of over 28,000
special agents, crime lab technicians, and support personnel."

Again, read between the lines. What J. Edgar Hoover and his spiritual
descendants have brought us is a National Police Force. In effect, a
standing army, the founders greatest fear. Dressed in black ninja outfits
and armed with weapons denied to the ordinary citizen, the FBI has
time and time again been exposed as a corrupt and out of control
collection of fascist jackboots. Ashcroft’s empty words won’t change
that.

If Ashcroft really wants to restore public trust in the FBI, I can think of
some things that he could do immediately that would be a wonderful
start.

First, fire Lon Horiuchi, while simultaneously stripping him of all
retirement benefits. Concurrently, since the Idaho authorities are too
craven and cowardly to prosecute the murderous villain (despite a green
light to do so by federal courts), bring federal civil rights charges
against him. Follow up with dismissals and charges against Horiuchi’s
supervisors and then do the same to federal police involved in the
Waco tragedy.

Secondly, a real step for freedom would be for Ashcroft to disarm the
FBI and any other federal police agencies under his command. They

Echelon's Cover Blown - 120 Satellites Monitor Millions Of Calls/Emails

By Alan Perrott and The Independent
7-14-01


"Today it gives 55,000 British and American operatives access to data
gathered by 120 spy satellites worldwide. Every minute of every day, the
system can process three million electronic communications."

One after another the shutters in Washington came down on the European
Union delegation as soon as they mentioned Echelon.

No one in the United States Government would admit that the electronic
spying system, the most powerful in the world, even existed. And if it did,
they made clear, they would rather not go into it.

The National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the State
Department and even the Department of Commerce refused to talk to the
committee of members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on a fact-finding
trip last month.

Stonewalled wherever they turned, the MEPs left, angry and frustrated,
cutting short their trip.

Now, with the European Parliament's groundbreaking report into the global
spy network published in Brussels, the MEPs who were left out in the cold
know whom to blame. Not just the American authorities but the British
Government, they are convinced, colluded in the obstruction.

The 108-page report, the fruit of seven months' investigation by the
Parliament, does nothing to dampen the controversy long associated with the
clandestine network and raises fresh, disturbing questions.

Echelon was set up during the Cold War by the United States, Britain,
Canada, New Zealand and Australia to collate electronic intelligence. The
network has grown to keep pace with the explosion in information
technology.

Today it gives 55,000 British and American operatives access to data
gathered by 120 spy satellites worldwide. Every minute of every day, the
system can process three million electronic communications.

The spy network is very much an Anglo-American show, with the Americans as
senior partners, run from Fort Meade in Maryland, Menwith Hill, Yorkshire,
and GCHQ at Cheltenham. In Germany, 750 Americans operate an intercept
station near Bad Aibling, taken over by the US Army in 1952.

New Zealand espionage expert and author Nicky Hager says New Zealand's
Waihopai surveillance facility near Blenheim eavesdrops on two major
satellites funnelling enormous amounts of information across the Pacific,
whether between Asia and the Americas or between countries on Asia's
Pacific edge.

This daily barrage is fed through a computer system which sifts out
messages containing keywords or individual names and divides them between
various intelligence agencies for further study.

Officers of New Zealand's largest intelligence agency, the GCSB or
Government Communications Security Bureau, sit in Wellington checking
screen after screen of communications from Pacific sources.

"The bureau has a name designed to be forgotten," says Hager. "Despite a
best-selling book about them, very few people know they exist."

The communications passed to the GCSB can come from any Pacific nation or
source south of the equator and east of Papua New Guinea.

Other data received in New Zealand, but obtained from different areas, is
never sighted here but sent direct to Washington or Canberra.

Hager doubts whether there is any political will in New Zealand to withdraw
from this alliance as it would fundamentally alter our relationship with
the United States.

One of Europe's main worries is the claim that Echelon gathers industrial
espionage from European companies for American rivals.

Boeing and McDonnell Douglas are said to have beaten France to a $6 billion
contract to supply Airbus jets to Saudi Arabia, thanks to Echelon
intercepts of faxes and phone calls.

There has also been scathing criticism of Britain - and its obsession with
secrecy - from its European partners for siding with the "Anglo-Saxon" club
rather than Europe in espionage matters.

The MEPs were alarmed to learn that their mobile phones were being used to
track their movements and could be transformed into bugging devices.

At least they can take some comfort from claims that the network is just as
capable of being used against the United States.

A former employee of Canada's security agency has claimed that Canadian
spies once managed to overhear the American ambassador in Ottawa discussing
a pending trade deal with China on a mobile phone.

The information gained was used to undercut the Americans and land a $2.5
billion Chinese grain sale.

But while the European report is revealing, the authors did not vindicate
all the claims made about the spy system. They failed to prove conclusively
that Echelon had been used by the United States, or indeed Britain, for
commercial spying on European competitors. And its scope is not as
extensive as had been feared. But the report warned businesses and ordinary
individuals that they were being spied on and that users sh

FBI Finds Weapons, Computers Missing or Stolen

By James Vicini WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI, the law enforcement agency plagued by 
a series of recent blunders, has
discovered that 449 of its weapons and 184 of its laptop computers have been stolen or 
lost, FBI officials said on Tuesday.

They said one of the missing laptop computers contained classified information from 
two closed investigations while three others
may have contained classified information.

The unaccounted-for firearms ranged from pistols and handguns to rifles, shotguns and 
sub-machine guns, they said. One official
said one of the stolen firearms had been used in a homicide.

The latest embarrassment came a day after U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft told FBI 
employees the public's trust in it has
been shaken by the discovery of a longtime spy within its ranks and by the misplaced 
Oklahoma City bombing files.

Informed on Tuesday of the unaccounted-for weapons dating back about 11 years and the 
missing laptop computers, Ashcroft
immediately ordered a review by the Justice Department's inspector general.

NEW REVIEW TO COVER ALL OF JUSTICE

That review would cover not only the FBI, but also the entire Justice Department. It 
will focus on inventory controls and ``the
accounting for law enforcement equipment issued to employees and agents,'' Ashcroft 
said in a memo to the inspector general.

The inspector general already has been investigating the case of former FBI agent 
Robert Hanssen, who this month pleaded guilty
to spying for Moscow for more than 15 years, and the FBI's belated discovery of the 
Oklahoma City bombing files.

A commission headed by former FBI and CIA head William Webster is investigating ways 
to improve security at the FBI in the
wake of the Hanssen case, and Ashcroft also has ordered a comprehensive review to 
reform the troubled agency.

Of the unaccounted-for firearms, 184 were stolen while 265 were reported lost or 
missing, the officials said. Of the 265, 91 were
training weapons while 66 involved agents who retired and four involved agents who 
died or were fired.

The FBI officials said they have ordered a search for the missing weapons, and that 
criminal investigations would be opened into
retired or fired agents who failed to turn in their guns.

In March, the Justice Department's inspector general found in a similar audit of the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service 539
unaccounted-for weapons.

Concerning the missing laptop computers, the officials said there was no indication 
yet that any investigation had been
compromised, but they would not know for sure until the damage assessment was 
completed. Thirteen of the laptops were stolen
while the rest were missing, they said.

The new disclosures will be a topic of discussion at a hearing about the FBI on 
Wednesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee, a
spokesman for the panel said.

``Chairman (Patrick) Leahy (a Vermont Democrat) and other members of the panel will be 
asking about this,'' said David Carle, a
committee spokesman.

Among the witnesses will be assistant FBI director Bob Dies and deputy assistant 
director Kenneth Sensor, both of whom have
been critical of the agency's security safeguards.

FBI officials estimated there are nearly 50,000 weapons at the agency, and almost 
13,000 laptop computers.

They said the missing weapons were discovered as part of an inquiry that began about 
four weeks ago, and that it was the first
time the FBI had done such a ``comprehensive review.''

IS SELF-DEFENSE A 'WAR CRIME'?
HOW KLA TERRORISTS ARE TURNED INTO VICTIMS
By: Justin Raimondo

The saga of the Bytyqi brothers, covered in my last column,  is an
object lesson in how the War Party exploits every opportunity, no
matter how dubious, to make propaganda for their cause. It also
epitomizes how the media cooperate,  allowing themselves to be used
as a transmission belt for lies masquerading as "news" – a working
alliance underscored by a number of new developments in  this
fascinating and fast-developing story.

A FORTUNATE COINCIDENCE
But before we get into that, let's briefly reiterate the background to this
case:  the Bytyqi brothers – Mehmet, Ylli, and Agron  – were members
of the "Atlantic Brigade," a  band of some 400 Albanian-Americans (and
others) who were recruited from abroad to fight in the Kosovo war on the
side of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In spite of US laws forbidding
such activities, the Atlantic Brigadeers were allowed to recruit, raise
money,  and even train in the United States, and then travel to the
battlefields of Kosovo, where  they fought at the KLA's side. The three
New York-based brothers, who previously ran a  Long Island pizzeria,
arrived in Kosovo just as the war was beginning to wind down.
(Although at least one, Agron Bytyqi, made  a stopover in Ireland.) They
promptly disappeared without a trace – until police in the former
Yugoslavia disinterred their bodies from a mass grave outside a Serbian
special forces training camp. The bodies were found not only with their
New York drivers  licenses in their pockets, but also with Serbian court
papers indicating that they had  been arrested on June 27 and jailed for
trying to infiltrate the country. Gee, what a  fortunate coincidence!

IN HIGH DUDGEON
Now, incredibly, these KLA soldiers are being  touted as helpless
victims of Milosevic's "war crimes." The discovery of these bodies has
the US chief of mission in Yugoslavia, William Montgomery, in high
dudgeon: he told the Washington  Post that the Americans are really
really peeved that the Yugoslavs didn't welcome the Bytyqi terrorist tag-
team into the country with open arms: "Believe me, this is going to be a
very important case for us," Montgomery gloated. "We  need to get real
information from the Yugoslav authorities. We are going to insist they do
a full investigation."

A VISIT TO MOTHER
Oh, but surely Mr. Montgomery doesn't want a full investigation, since
that would have to mean an investigation of the true nature and
sponsorship of the "Atlantic Brigade," and a determined inquiry into just
what the brothers Bytyqi were doing in Yugoslavia, anyway, 17 days
after the Kosovo war officially ended. But he needn't worry: the
"mainstream" media is not about to ask any uncomfortable questions
about this murky affair. They are quite content to  broadcast the official
story: that the three brothers, instead of being on a mission to penetrate
Yugoslav territory and wreak havoc, had instead gone to visit their long-
lost  mother, and, in the midst of another act of charity – escorting 3
male Gypsies  from their mother's neighborhood to safety in Serbia –
were detained and killed by  those awful Serbian racists.

THOSE WONDERFUL BOYS
This fanciful tale is sprouting all over the newswires, and is the leitmotif
of the major newspaper accounts. The New York Times piece is purest
agitprop, depicting the Bytyqis as noble idealists who gave up a
comfortable life in a beach town in the posh Long Island Hamptons for a
cause greater than  themselves. These were "wonderful" boys, we are
told, and their father extols their vaunted heroism, saying "they gave up
the couch" and an easy life to  liberate their people. Their friends are
cited as saying that they were all fearless warriors precisely because
they were Americans and therefore were unused to being bullied  by
those bad old Serbs. Embedded in the midst all these extravagant
panegyrics is a key nugget of information – or disinformation, depending
on your perspective:

INTO THE MURK
"They were," the Times informs us, "apparently not engaged in combat
when they were captured, witnesses and investigators said."
Witnesses? Who are these witnesses? The Times doesn't  elaborate,
and so we have to turn to the International Herald Tribune's version of
the story, which has a bit more hard information, in addition to the usual
dose of propaganda. We hear of another Bytyqi brother, Fatos, still alive
and in Kosovo, confessing that "he initially lied about his brothers' war

[CTRL] Gary Condit & Richard Jewell

Now’s a Good Time to Remember Richard Jewell 


By Leonard Steinhorn

Largely because the Chandra Levy case involves the words “intern” and 
“sex,” the press has begun to make the inevitable comparisons between Rep. 
Gary Condit and former President Bill Clinton. But a more apt comparison for 
Condit may be Richard Jewell.

Jewell was the security guard at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics who alerted 
authorities to a suspicious knapsack, hurried people away from it, probably 
saved a number of lives – and then, for 88 days, found himself not only the 
prime suspect of the FBI investigation into the bombing but the subject of 
withering media scrutiny that all but tried and convicted him.

As seems to be happening with Condit, media coverage of Jewell took on a life 
of its own, all out of proportion to the facts and evidence of the case. 
Playing the role of judge, jury and psychologist, the press turned Jewell 
into a caricature of a “lone bomber,” a pudgy guy who lived with his mom 
and, according to unnamed sources, seemed zealous in performing his security 
duties and overly eager for a law enforcement career.

In Jewell’s case, the press strung together circumstantial scraps of 
information and shaped them to fit a narrative story line about the type of 
person the media presumed to be guilty. 

“Jewell fits the profile of a lone bomber,” the Atlanta Journal and 
Constitution wrote days after the bombing. “This profile generally includes a 
frustrated white man who is a former police officer, member of the military 
or police ‘wannabe’ who seeks to become a hero.” An intoxicated NBC News 
dragged the narrative even further, saying there was “probably enough to 
convict him.”

Jewell, of course, never was arrested, but that didn’t stop the press from 
hounding him, staking out his home, turning him into a prisoner of reckless 
innuendo, and treating him like a pathetic guest on the Jerry Springer show. 
As it turned out, Jewell’s sole connection with the bombing was purely 
circumstantial: he happened to be there doing his job.

Judging from police statements and available evidence, Condit’s connection 
with Levy’s disappearance seems to be similarly incidental: he was having an 
affair with her but appears removed from the actual circumstances of what 
happened to her. According to the police, he is not now and never has been a 
suspect. He dissembled about his affair with Levy to hide his marital 
infidelity, but with his indiscretion now public he has apparently come clean 
with – and satisfied – the police.

Yet these facts seem to matter little to the press these days, and the media 
feeding frenzy about Condit’s relationship with Levy has mushroomed far 
beyond his involvement in the case.

Reporters are staking out his Washington apartment, his California home, and 
both his Capitol Hill and district offices. He’s the new headline grabber, 
the hot subject on every political talk show, red meat for all the pious 
pundits who gain fame and fortune from these public scandals. 

His personal life is open game for the tabloids and the serious press as 
well. An unproven and somewhat dubious allegation of another affair even made 
the front-page of the usually staid Washington Post. Rumor, allegation, 
insinuation abound about what he did and when he did it. Talk show 
journalists psychoanalyze his motives, behavior, and character.

The emerging media narrative is an archetypal Washington scandal: a powerful, 
ambitious politician who acts solely out of cold self-interest and has what 
Geraldo Rivera calls “a real dark secret life.” If he’s “prone to act in 
certain ways,” as a USA Today reporter put it, then who knows where it could 
lead. Speculation morphs into news, and the underlying media murmur – without 
any foundation in fact – has Condit somehow involved in Levy’s disappearance.

Condit is no Jewell in one sense: he lied about his affair with Levy, which 
may have hindered the police early on. But assuming he had no other 
connection with her disappearance, then Condit – like Jewell – has become 
yet another bystander whose personal life has been ripped open by a media 
twister fueled by ratings and our thirst for scandal. Turning someone’s 
private life into a public soap opera may be entertaining. But it’s not 
journalism and shouldn’t be news.

Gary Condit is living his private hell right now. He’s faced with his 
character flaws, his shattered marriage, and the knowledge that a woman he 
evidently liked if not loved – Chandra Levy – is possibly dead. But that’s 
the point – it’s his private hell, and unless there’s a compelling need to 
report it, the press should simply back off.

[CTRL] Why Is Britain Cranking Out Anthrax Vaccine?

[William Shannon]

http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/science/story.jsp?story=84057



British scientists make half a million doses of anthrax vaccine

By Steve Connor, Science Editor

18 July 2001

Britain has resumed production of an anthrax vaccine designed to protect 
troops against one of the most deadly agents in the arsenal of biological 
warfare.

The Ministry of Defence has received up to half a million doses of the 
vaccine which will be offered voluntarily to its personnel serving in the 
Persian Gulf and other regions of the world thought to be at risk of 
biological attack.

Scientists at the Government's Centre for Applied Microbiology and Research 
(CAMR) at Porton Down in Wiltshire have produced the vaccine using a new £2m 
production facility which has taken two years to build.

Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis which produces spores 
and toxins that can cause skin infections, fever, breathing difficulties and 
toxic shock.

During the 1991 Gulf War, CAMR supplied the Ministry of Defence with enough 
anthrax vaccine to inoculate tens of thousands of troops who were thought to 
be at risk of biological attack from Saddam Hussein.

Military experts feared that Iraq might use anthrax bombs which spray a fine 
aerosol containing enough spores to cause the pulmonary form of the disease 
when inhaled.

There is a risk of pulmonary anthrax if more than about 10,000 spores are 
breathed in. The symptoms can appear within two days and can eventually kill 
upto 90 per cent of victims.

CAMR is thought to be one of only a few places in the world capable of making 
anthrax vaccine. The West's other production facility, in the United States, 
has been closed down and does not currently have a licence from the US Food 
and Drug Administration.

"The facility is currently the only one anywhere in the world which is able 
to manufacture a licensed vaccine against anthrax," said a spokesman for the 
centre.

CAMR grows a "disabled" strain of the bacteria in large fermenting vats and 
makes the vaccine by isolating bacterial proteins that generate a protective 
immune response when injected into the bloodstream.

Anthrax normally infects domestic animals, such as cattle and sheep, and is 
endemic in some parts of the world, such as South and Central America, 
Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as wide areas of Asia, Africa, the 
Caribbean and the Middle East.

In addition to supplying the Ministry of Defence, CAMR will also produce the 
vaccine for the Department of Health and veterinary organisations.

"CAMR will continue to produce the vaccine in the future to ensure that the 
UK retains the capability to protect its armed forces from the threat of this 
element of biological warfare. It will also continue to supply the vaccine to 
meet public-health requirements," the spokesman said.

Repeal The Federal Reserve Act

By
Charles A. Morse
Tuesday, July 17, 2001; 12:01 a.m. ET]



A simple majority vote in both houses of Congress is all that is required to 
repeal the Federal Reserve Act. Section 31 of the Act states that "The right 
to amend, alter, or repeal this Act is hereby expressly reserved." A repeal 
of this Act by Congress would wrest from the Federal Reserve Bank, the 
nations privately owned central bank, the power it presently holds to 
regulate the nations money supply. Congress would assume this responsibility, 
granted to it by the Constitution, but surrendered by it to the Fed in 1913. 
The nation´s monetary system would automatically be transferred to its 
rightful owner, the citizens of the United States.

The Constitution of the United States, article 1, section 8, says that "The 
Congress shall have the power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and 
of foreign coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures." Our founding 
fathers intent was that the American citizen, acting through his elected 
representative in Congress, would reserve the power to regulate the value of 
his own money. The founders believed that such congressional control of the 
money supply would preserve the value of the dollar as both a stable means of 
exchange and as a consistent storage of capital. The constitutional system 
views money as a simple instrument of exchange. The system we presently have, 
the Federal Reserve System, views money as a debt instrument and a mortgage 
against our ability to create capital in the future.

The Constitution authorizes Congress to create and store gold and silver coin 
and then to circulate gold and silver certificates, redeemable in coin, into 
the economy. These redeemable certificates would serve as paper money. 
Congress, under the Constitutional system, would regulate the value of money 
by deciding how many certificates to circulate. In order to insure the 
maintenance of honest money, the quantity of certificates Congress would 
circulate should be pegged to an estimate of the level of exchange of goods 
and services at a given time, which is known as the gross national product.

The interests of the wage earner, investor, trader, and saver, is served by 
an objective and disinterested policy of determining the quantity of money 
circulating in the economy. If more money is circulated than is needed in 
order to meet the gross national product, inflation is the result. Inflation 
erodes the value of the dollar, which leads to a driving up of prices in 
order to meet production costs. The value of investments and savings are, 
subsequently, watered down. This is why inflation has been referred to as a 
back door tax.

If not enough money is circulated into the economy to meet the gross national 
product, the result is deflation. Deflation results in an economic 
contraction, which leads to mortgage and loans foreclosures and widespread 
bankruptcy and unemployment. There is simply not enough money in the economy 
to pay the bills.

The stock market crash of 1929 was the result of a dramatic manipulation of 
the nations money supply by the Federal Reserve. First, a runaway inflation 
was created when the Federal Reserve issued a quantity of money vastly 
greater than the GNP. This was followed by an equally dramatic, and sudden, 
contraction of the money supply resulting in deflation. Businesses, 
investors, mortgage holders, and individuals who had overextended themselves 
with inflated loans, and purchased goods and services with inflated dollars 
at inflated prices, suddenly discovered that there was not enough money to 
pay these debts. Properties and businesses were, subsequently, foreclosed 
upon by banks, particularly those banks affiliated with the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve, which is not part of the government, but, rather, a 
private cartel controlled by member banks and investors, is responsible for 
the ongoing and excessive boom and bust cycles. These are the result of the 
Fed´s manipulation of the money supply. The Fed bases its actions, as any 
private corporation does, upon what it perceives to be in the best interests 
of its shareholders. This is why it shouldn´t be entrusted with the 
management of the nations money. We the citizens have a right, articulated on 
our Constitution, to directly manage the value of our own money and in our 
own interest.

Congress has the power to dissolve the Federal Reserve and should exercise 
this prerogative before we enter into yet another period of inflation or 
stagnation. The Federal government would be obligated to buy back its stock 
in the Federal Reserve, which would cost about 1 billion dollars. Section 7 
of the Federal Reserve Act says that if the Fed is dissolved, the surplus 
becomes the property of the United States. The Fed is estimated to be worth, 
according to its own March, 1982 issue of the "F

SPECIES SALVATION OR FED BALONEY?
KLAMATH FALLS UNDERSCORES ESA REPEAL

By: William Jud
Published in the July 24, 2001 issue of  Ether Zone

Results, not intentions, are the means by which success of government
policies must be measured. Thus judged, the Endangered Species Act is not
only a dismal failure but a treasonous assault on American government and
culture. The objective is not saving species but controlling the means to
produce food, fuel, timber, minerals and other resources. Whoever controls
these controls a nation's land, money and people.

Klamath Falls, Oregon, is under siege by environmental extremists and federal
agents protecting "threatened" coho salmon and "endangered" shortnose sucker
fishes by shutting off all irrigation water from the farming area's Upper
Klamath Lake reservoir to the Klamath Reclamation Project to maintain high
water in the lake for fish. As fields dry up and crops wither, 1,400 farm
families are sliding into bankruptcy and environmental organizations are
swarming like buzzards to buy prime farm land at pennies on the dollar. Those
embattled farmers are children and grandchildren of war veterans who were
promised their land and water "in perpetuity" as a reward for valiant service
in World Wars 1 & 2 by the same federal government that now wants to run them
off their land .

Is this species salvation or government baloney? If coho salmon are
"threatened" or otherwise disappearing, why can you still get them in cans at
the grocery store or your local food bank? If the shortnose sucker fish is in
trouble, why was the federal government recently running a sucker fish
eradication program?

The federal government's assault on farmers at Klamath Falls is another
"taking" of private property and assault on our US Constitution, according to
attorney Roger Marzulla, who specializes in in water rights and Endangered
Species Act law. This "takings" violation of the Fifth Amendment could
ultimately cost the federal government (read "tax payers") a billion dollars
in compensation paid to the farmers. Environmental organizations salivating
at the prospect of farmers' financial ruin putting 250,000 acres of prime
farm land on the market at bargain prices are demanding that the federal
government divert $4 Billion from the US Treasury to buy out ALL landowners
and return Klamath Basin to depopulated wilderness. That would advance the
re-wilding of America demanded by the Wildlands Project and United Nations'
Agenda 21.

The Endangered Species Act is the club of choice used by federal land agents
and extremist environmental organizations to beat Klamath Falls farmers --
who are American citizens and descendents of honored war veterans -- into
submission and abandonment of their land. This is the same blunt instrument
that bludgeoned rural loggers, miners, ranchers and others in Washington,
Oregon, California and other western states in the name of "saving" the
Spotted Owl which never was endangered in the first place. The Endangered
Species Act was the weapon of choice for attacking construction of the
Tellico Dam and for the attempt to shut down Mark Twain National Forest in
Missouri to "save" the Indiana Bat.

Results clearly show what stated intentions do not. The Endangered Species
Act is not and never was intended to protect species. The very way the Act is
constructed and enforced shows that from Day One it has been a rural
cleansing program for grabbing control of land and natural resources and
driving rural people from their land. The Endangered Species Act is supported
and financed by government agencies, tax-exempt foundations and environmental
extremist organizations interested in building their empires as large as
possible, preferably at taxpayer expense.

The Endangered Species Act is a abomination. It does not need to be amended
or fixed. It needs outright repeal, with confiscation of the assets of
foundations, "green" corporations, government agencies, and environmental
organizations AND THEIR MEMBERS who created and nurtured this monster, to
repay the gigantic damage done to our American culture, customs, livelihood
and government.

-Caveat Lector-

What's happening in the Klamath basin is not about a struggle between
farmers and fish. It's a crude attempt by the powers that be to divide
farmers and environmentalists, just as if the farmers themselves wer not
environmentalists by definition. Who on earth, besides perhaps
sportsmen, care more about the state of the environment than the people
who make their living from it?  In fact, the farmers of Klamath are
among the most radical environmentalists there are today. They have
taken direct action against the powers that be, who are actively
destroying their environment, and with it their  livelihoods.  Surely
you do not lump them in with Earth First? If so, you need to do a lot
more research.

Remember, Ruling Class Acres is located at the corner of Divide and
Conquer. Don't let the elites divide us over issues that are in all our
same, direct, personal interests. We all live in the same environment.
Let's not fight among ourselves while the plutocrats turn it into their
own, private toxic waste dump.

[CTRL] Book: On Acoustics In Ancient Religions: 'In the Name of the Gods'

[MIKE SPITZER]

-Caveat Lector-

From:

http://dailygrail.com


In the Name of the Gods

[To be released in the UK in June 2001 by Green Man Press]


Controversial new book - ancient religions based upon science.


In a new book, In the Name of the Gods, author David Elkington, along with
associates Paul Ellson and John Reid, provides a scientific explanation for
the basis of religion and spiritual practices.

Giving examples from acoustic experiments at various ancient sacred sites,
Elkington establishes an acoustic motive behind the construction of sacred
buildings and further posits that the use of radon bearing granite and the
positioning of buildings, including churches and cathedrals, demonstrate
that the builders knew the properties of these rocks and may have used the
higher radiation present to help gain an expanded awareness.


Christianity's origins far older than Christ

Citing the relationship between the frequencies of the human brain in
expanded state (7-13Hz) and the dominating frequency of planetary resonance
(around 8Hz) Elkington builds a case for an ancient science as the root of
early religions and also of Christianity. Using a study of names and places
found in scripture and mythology, the roots of Christianity are traced to a
far more ancient and worldwide phenomena which had an emphasis on chant and
invocation in specially constructed places in order to attain heightened
states of consciousness. Also, evidence of a temporary revival of this
knowledge is revealed through a study of Gothic cathedrals.


Experiments in the Great Pyramid

A prime ancient site for these practices is revealed to be the Great
Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, Egypt. Evidence that the ancient Egyptians
derived much of their symbolism through an acoustic process known as
'cymatic' is demonstrated by reports and photographs from a recent cymatics
experiment undertaken in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid by
researcher John Reid.

Cymatics is a process of pattern creation whereby a fine material such as
sand, having been sprinkled on a taut membrane, moves to form patterns when
subject to particular notes or frequencies. Photographs show images closely
akin to a number of Egyptian symbols including the 'Eye of Horus', the
hieroglyph for Ra, the Sun God, and the 'Djed' pillar, emerging in sand
suspended on the membrane which had been stretched over the sarcophagus in
the King's Chamber. Further to this, David Elkington and Paul Ellson point
out that frequency readings taken in the pyramid relate to brain wave
frequencies which are know to create experience of peak clarity and
expanded consciousness in human beings.

The pluralistic thesis not only traces Christianity back to at least 3,000
BC, but also, in doing so, tackles the issue of the historical Jesus, his
relationship to the priest-kings of the day and to the ancient cults of the
heroes known as the dying and rising gods.

The book's challenging conclusions regarding all of this and more, are
expected to create excitement and controversy for many years to come.

}}>Begin
Trusting
  the Government:
The Case of the Indians
by
  David Dieteman
One
  of the sorriest political episodes of the present time is unfolding
  in Washington, DC. It offers lessons of wide-ranging importance.
American
  Indians, once in sole possession of the continent, have not been
treated kindly by the United States. Even prior to the existence
  of the United States, they were not always treated so kindly by
  European colonists. Most are familiar with Massasoit and the story
  of the first Thanksgiving. Less are familiar with what the colonists
  did to his son, Wamsutta. They murdered him.
The
  killing is part of a sorry saga known as King
  Philip's War, which lasted from 1675-76 (Philip was the colonists'
  name for Metacom, the brother of Wamsutta), in which the colonists
  exterminated the native populations near their colonies. After Metacom

  (sometimes rendered as Metacomet or Pometacom) was killed and the
  Wampanoag were defeated, the pilgrims – yes, those pilgrims – paraded
  in Plymouth with his head. They also sold his son into slavery.
  (For more information, have a look at King
  Philip's War by Eric Schultz and Michael Tougias).
The
  grandson of Massasoit, who helped the pilgrims to survive, was sold
  as a slave. There's gratitude for you. As an aside, since the early
  Yankees could not tolerate Indian independence, is it any surprise
  that they later were so intolerant of Southern independence? Oh,
  the burden of knowing what's best for everyone, even if they have
  to be killed to understand what's for their own good.
As
  treaty after treaty was signed – we promise! – by the federal
government, treaty after treaty was broken. The fact that several Indian nations
  allied themselves with the Confederacy during the Civil War did
  not help their fate. The Indians knew who their enemy was. After
  the CSA was defeated – with Cherokee general Stand Watie being the
  last Confederate general to surrender – the US Army did not exactly
  soften its stand on the Indians.
Fast
  forward 135 years, to the present. A federal judge, after citing
  Clinton Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt for "the worst case of
  contempt of court" he had ever seen performed by a government officer,

  ordered the Bureau of Indian Affairs (part of the Interior Department)

  to give an accounting of what had happened to millions of dollars
  in Indian trust accounts.
These
  trust accounts are "administered" by the federal government.
Guess
  what? The government's course of conduct continues – even under
  Gale Norton and the Bush administration, as
  the Washington Times has reported.
Regarding
  the 1999 contempt citation of Mr Babbitt, the Times notes
  that
Beginning
  in 1999, Judge [Royce C.] Lamberth ordered Interior Department
officials on two occasions to account for funds they held in
  trust for more than 300,000 Indians, saying records provided
  to the court showed that the money was so badly mishandled that
  the government had no idea how much was missing or where it
  could be found.
Judge
  Lamberth...held Mr. Babbitt and Treasury Secretary Robert E.
  Rubin in contempt for failing to turn over records in a lawsuit
  filed by the Indians and ruled that the government had to pay
  $625,000 for their inaction.
First,
  notice that the government had no idea – at all – what had become
  of the money which it held in trust for the Indians. No idea. Second,
  you can bet that Babbitt and Rubin did not dip into their own pockets
  or hand over their credit card numbers. No, for their bad conduct –
they spent your money, also known as "tax dollars." As
  the Times continues,
The
  judge issued the contempt citations after Mr. Babbitt and Mr.
  Rubin refused to produce trust-fund records, canceled checks
  and other documents demanded by the court.
The
  Interior Department, which manages trust-fund accounts involving
settlements, royalties and payments to about 300,000 Indians
  and 2,000 tribal accounts, has given several reasons why the
  trust accounts are unavailable – including that some have been

JOHN E. MACK, M.D.


THE UFO ENCOUNTER PHENOMENON: WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF OUR RESISTANCE TO ITS
REALITY?

Insofar as the UFO encounter phenomenon draws serious attention at all in
academic circles, the focus has been upon trying to prove or disprove its
reality by the methods of empirical science. In our view this is, at best,
an expectable distraction; at worst it draws attention away from the
meaning and power of this and related phenomena for our lives and the
future of the planet.

In native cultures and mystical traditions the reality of visitations to
the Earth by a great variety of living entities is well known. Why then are
these occurrences considered so remarkable and denied so vigorously in our
society? One reason is that the UFO phenomenon appears to penetrate into
our three dimensional material world, the one domain of reality which we
have learned, or been programmed to believe, is real, as if the barrier
between the unseen or spirit world has become sanctified and impassable.
Further, the facility with which technologically advanced beings seem able
to enter our world is threatening to the techno-intellectual hubris that
has placed humans at the top of the cosmic intelligence hierarchy and
through which we seem to be striving to protect ourselves from the forces
of the universe and death itself. But even beyond these potent dynamics
there is the meaning and challenge of this and related phenomena to our
scientific worldview, and all of the investments--political, economic,
psychological and spiritual-that have derived from it.

(At the Prophet's Conference) Veronica Goodchild and I will discuss the UFO
encounter phenomenon against the backdrop of native and mystical
traditions. We will consider the resistances researchers face in trying to
communicate, especially within the mainsteam of our culture, the content
and impact of the encounters. We will look at the implications for human
identity, the emerging new cosmology and the relevance of the encounters
for the future of the planet's life. We regard the current radically
secularist worldview as more an atrophy of consciousness (with catastrophic
consequences) than the progress of reason and rationality. The UFO
encounter phenomenon is one among a number of anomalies and spiritual
experiences that are transforming human consciousness. We will discuss the
implications of this transformation for survival and human possibility and
strategies for hastening its emergence.

An esteemed professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and a
Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, Dr. John Mack has worked closely with
hundreds of individuals from around the world who have reported
life-changing experiences with so-called "alien" beings. Dr. Mack reports,
"The people who have these experiences move. They change. They grow. They
transform. They become Earth-conscious. That is why I seek to give them
voice, for they become passionate on behalf of the stewardship of the
Earth."

In his books Abduction and Passport to the Cosmos, Dr. Mack suggests alien
encounters and other phenomena such as near-death experiences and
'past-life' recollections are vehicles for recovering perennial wisdom. He
places emphasis on spiritual transformation as the nexus of the alien
encounter experience, even likening it to a shamanic expansion of

THE DIRT ON BIG BROTHER
HE CAN USE YOUR NET SERVICE TO SPY ON YOU
http://cryptome.org/DIRT-bags.htm

Spies can bust into your computer without leaving their office.

By Alex Roslin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

NOW | JUN 8 - JUL 4, 2001 | VOL. 20 NO. 43

Is your computer watching you? The spectre of Big Brother just got a giant
step closer thanks to a controversial piece of software called DIRT.

Sold only to police, military and intelligence agencies, DIRT is causing a
small furor in civil liberties circles. It offers government operatives a
powerful tool to break into your home through the Internet and read
everything on your computer, without ever leaving their offices.

The brainchild of former NYPD cop Frank Jones, DIRT stands for Data
Interception by Remote Transmission. Depending on the model, it reportedly
costs anywhere from a few thousand dollars to over $200,000.

Even a well-secured computer is vulnerable. The software is said to be
powerful enough to penetrate many common security tools, including
firewalls. No anti-virus program on the market can detect it.

Reached at his company, New York-based Codex Data Systems, Jones was
tight-lipped about the software's capabilities and which governments he's
sold it to, calling that "proprietary information."

An ad for DIRT says even the technically challenged can use it to break into
a computer halfway around the globe. "Imagine being able to remotely monitor
any PC in the world any time you want," says the ad, posted earlier this
month on the intelligence Web site cryptome.org. "Suppose you could read
every keystroke. access and retrieve any file from the hard drive... No more
secrets..."

No police or intelligence agency in Canada or the U.S. has acknowledged that
it hacks. In fact, computer hacking by governments is one of the most
sensitive and highly classified government secrets anywhere in the world.

It goes by innocent-sounding terms like "computer network exploitation" and
"information operations."

But even military and intelligence officials acknowledge hacking is highly
dubious in the eyes of both domestic and international law.

"If you get caught mapping out the critical infrastructure of a power grid,
people might view it as an act of war," said one U.S. intelligence expert
who advises the Pentagon on information operations.

A renowned U.S. computer scientist who has testified before Congress and
advised the U.S. government on computer security tells NOW that hacking by
western military and intelligence services is an explosive issue.

"There are a lot of folks here who don't want to admit this is going on," he
says, adding a warning: "You're on the tip of the iceberg here. You want to
be a little bit careful."

Canadian and U.S. police, for their part, are also interested in hacking to
get evidence for criminal cases. But here too, the legalities are extremely
questionable.

"There is no case law on it at all," says RCMP Inspector Peter McAughley,
head of the force's high-tech crime forensics unit. Yet he says that with a
little "tweaking," existing legislation in Canada does allow cops to hack
for evidence. "If it's an investigative avenue and it can be done legally,
it's something else we can throw in the tool box."

Already, Australia and New Zealand have adopted legislation to allow
security agencies to hack into citizens' computers and alter data to hide
traces of intrusions.

All this has civil libertarians aghast. "These are the worst kinds of
searches," says Barry Steinhardt, associate director of the American Civil
Liberties Union. "We do not think intelligence agencies or law enforcement
should be engaging in these black bag operations, especially without close
supervision from courts."

Canadian interest in hacking technology was revealed during a New York trial
in which DIRT vendor Frank Jones was charged with possession and
distribution of illegal wiretap equipment. Jones was convicted of a single
count of possessing illegal bugs, and sentenced in 1999 to 300 hours of
community service and five years of probation.

The court file includes letters from Jones's attorney, seeking permission
for Jones to travel to Canada three times during the trial to meet RCMP,
local and regional police, Interpol, Canadian government and military
officials to discuss software he had developed.

Michael Richardson, a former Canadian intelligence officer who was the
Canadian distributor for DIRT at the time, tells NOW the meetings were
arranged to discuss DIRT.

ECO CLERICS BIBLICALLY OFF-BASE

Does God want us to turn off our air conditioners in mid-July and make
burnt offerings of SUVs? Amen, say eco-clerics, who are transforming the
Bible into an environmental handbook. It's the Church (Synagogue) of
What's Happening Now reads the Gospel of Al Gore.

With energy on everyone's mind, eco-spiritualism is news. An Associated
Press story by religion writer Rachel Zoll observes, "Although the
nation's leaders haven't asked Americans to conserve energy, some
religious scholars say a higher authority has."

"Human beings are not given rapacious free will to do what they want in
creation but to give good stewardship," thunders Rabbi Lawrence Troster of
the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life.

The group cites Leviticus 19:9 ("When you reap the harvest of your land,
you shall not reap all the way to the edges of your field") as if this
were a call for soil conservation. As the rest of the verse elucidates,
the prohibition is so "the poor and the stranger" will have sustenance.
Charity, not ecology, is the mandate here.

There is a requirement that the land lie fallow the seventh year. But
that's not the verse the coalition quotes, demonstrating appalling
scholarship from the religious scholars.

Enviro-Protestants are no better versed. The Evangelical Environmental
Network cites Hosea ("The land mourns, and all who live in it waste away")
to make its point. Again, this verse has nothing to do with stewardship.
It describes the consequences of Israel's sins, such as following false
gods. Earth Day clerics have idols of their own.

Mainline divines are suckers for movements du jour. One day it's feminism,
the next same-sex marriage. Terrified of not being relevant, they scour
Scriptures for verses that can be twisted to justify political orthodoxy.

The Bible begins with God creating the world and giving man (His highest
creation) dominion over it -- not to despoil, but to utilize with a sense
of reverence for His handiwork. This contradicts environmentalism, which
sees man as just one more feature of the natural world, whose needs don't
outweigh the welfare of redwoods and snail darters.

Other clerics, who generally aren't quoted by AP, offer more
enlightenment. The free-market Acton Institute, headed by Father Robert
Sirico, has published a tract titled, "Environmental Stewardship in the
Judeo-Christian Tradition."

The Jewish contributors comment: "The basic Jewish principle of balance
and middle path also conflicts with the contemporary environmental
doctrine that preserving each spotted owl and kangroo rat is more
important than any costs borne by humans."

One of the writers, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, president of Toward Tradition,
owns two SUVs. (Well, he has seven children.) "Suppose we all switch from
SUVs to Corollas, then what?" Lapin asks. "What happens to the fuel and
steel saved?" How do we know someone else will put it to better use?
Absent more energy development, which green clerics abhor, how will
conservation get us past the current crunch?

The rabbi notes that as well as mandating rest on the seventh day, the
Torah commands productivity on the other six. Why is it clerical tree-
huggers never say: "The Bible requires us to produce to meet human needs.
So let's drill for oil in Alaska and build more nuclear power plants"?

The Catholic contributors to the Acton book observe that the use of fossil
fuels have benefited both humanity and the environment. They're far less
inefficient, polluting and destructive than burning wood, the primary
power source for most of history. Turned into fertilizers, they've led to
an explosion of agricultural production.

Admittedly, such a perspective is homo-centric [I'm pretty sure he means
"anthropocentric" here -Tim] -- so is the Bible. Genesis commands
reproduction. ("Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth.")

But environmentalists believe overpopulation (who's to say what that is?)
is destroying the Earth. People become the ultimate pollution.

Thus it comes as no surprise that the foes of SUVs and power plants
support abortion rights and population control. Both are anathema to
Judeo-Christian tradition.

For their next joint venture, perhaps enviro-clerics could find a gang of
Canaanites and followers of Baal to hang with. It makes as much sense as
organizing an ecumenical cheering squad for the Sierra Club.

[CTRL] Eco-Terrorism Shines a Light on the Left (fwd)

[Yardbird]

-Caveat Lector-

The significance of eco-terrorism.
by Stanley Kurtz

Mr. Kurtz is also a fellow at the Hudson Institute

The Holocaust has become our moral touchstone — the most important cultural
symbol of our era. And that's a problem. The Jewish Holocaust of World War II
was a human tragedy on a scale that beggars description. Serious study of the
Holocaust, as well as meditation upon this terrible event by the general
public, are most necessary and worthy endeavors. But can the Holocaust ever
serve as the chief organizing principle of our moral universe? In an
important sense, it already does.

In a relativist age, the Holocaust is our moral anchor. Forty years ago,
preoccupation with the Holocaust was still considered morbid, and the moral
lesson it taught remained something of a debater's point. We knew, when
pressed, that if nothing else was immoral the Holocaust was. But we did not
yet know how to turn the Holocaust into an engine of meaning. We learned.
Perhaps because we had to. Human beings crave moral certainty. If the
Holocaust had waved us away from moral certainty for fear of committing
horrors in the name of some higher cause, then the Holocaust would itself, of
necessity, become our moral certainty. But how? How could a debater's point
become a way of life? We would have to learn how to use the Holocaust to
actually generate meaning. And having mastered this, we would learn how to
recognize "little Holocausts" everywhere. All too frequently, the world would
accommodate this need for little Holocausts. When it did not, we would have
to use our imaginations.

Weighed down by a sense of the banality of their existence, the baby boomers
were given a life of material comfort but longed instead for a life of
exertion in the service of some larger purpose, or at least for the
appearance of such a life. The solution they hit upon was to identify with
struggling groups — however temporarily, however superficially, however
counterproductively. Student involvement in the early movement for civil
rights was the entirely praiseworthy prototype of this moral pattern, but the
many later attempts to copy that original crusade left much to be desired.

The world was soon divided into torturers and victims, and a shallow but
ostentatious appropriation of the victim's superior prestige created a new
aristocracy of suffering. Heightened sensitivity to prejudice, or apparent
prejudice, would become the keynote of the new identities since, over and
above a few affected markers, no belief or way of life actually distinguished
American blacks, women, Jews, or any given ethnic group, from anyone else.

The new ethnicity seemed to operate as a way of associating individuals with
some larger community. More deeply, however, the new ethnicity was a form of
self-cultivation. Pasting together a series of identities, preferably
rebellious and often fleeting, was more a way of distinguishing oneself from
the mass than of forging stable connections to a given community. And yet,
more paradoxically still, the gesture of suffering rebellion had itself
become obligatory — a required ritual of admission to a society in which
everyone became an individual in precisely the same way.

The denial of freedom — or better, life — to an innocent multitude serves as
the sacred icon of our time. The new goal is to identify oneself with
mass-scale suffering and to strive to prevent it. On the face of it, of
course, any such horror rightly calls forth our outrage. The fact that we are
stirred to action by collective oppression or mass killing seems
transparently to be our obligation, not some novel religion. Christ on the
cross, after all, long the West's most potent icon, is the very image of
blameless suffering. Yet the crucifixion is more than a picture of innocent
agony. It is a paradigm of sacrifice — of a God who so loved the world that
He gave to it, and willingly lost to it, His only begotten son. The
displacement of the icon of Christ by the Holocaust metaphor marks a cultural
shift of considerable significance.

Many are now unable to work within the old paradigm of sacrifice, or even to
recognize or comprehend it. This is reflected, for example, in the
diminishing ability of young Catholics to find vocations as nuns or priests,
and in the incomprehension of those who are disinclined to accept, say,
marital advice, from a celibate priest. For many, the connection between
Jesus's sacrifice of his life, the sacrifice entailed in celibacy, and the
sacrifice at the heart of marriage, has been lost.

For Jews, the struggle between the old sacrificial mode and the newer
Holocaust metaphor is direct. To the distress of many traditionalists, the
story of the Holocaust seems to have substituted itself for the story of the
Exodus as the chief rationale for Jewish survival. For many, Judaism has
become a sort of secular religion centered around ethnic identity, in which
traditionally religious elements are considered private

100 flee after kids seized: pastor
Spanking controversy: 'Very obvious they could've been next'


Jon Bricker
National Post

The Canadian Press


Henry Hildebrandt


AYLMER, ONT. - One hundred congregants of the fundamentalist Church of God
here have fled the country because they fear child welfare officials will
target their families, their pastor, Henry Hildebrandt, said yesterday.

He said the hurried departures, apparently of 74 children and 26 mothers,
include family members questioned last Wednesday about the way they
discipline their children. One week earlier, children's aid officials and
police forcibly removed seven children from a home in Aylmer amid
allegations they had been spanked with sticks and belts.

Mr. Hildebrandt said his congregants' Biblically based belief that parents
who spare the rod, spoil the child led them to flee Canada for fear their
children will be taken too. "It's very obvious they could've been the
next," he said.

Sunday school classes were cancelled yesterday and fewer than half of the
Church of God's roughly 200 parishioners came to a service in which the
pastor prayed for God to soften the hearts of local child welfare authorities.

Mr. Hildebrandt said he would not reveal where the 100 congregants had gone
and was uncertain when they might come back.

"They are eagerly waiting to return as soon as they can be guaranteed a
safe return," he said.

Members of the congregation did not dispute Mr. Hildebrandt's account of
the exodus, but it was not clear whether they knew of it independently or
from him.

Steve Bailey, executive director of the Family and Children's Services
office in Elgin County, which includes Aylmer, would not say whether his
officials contacted a second family in the congregation and said he was not
aware of any congregants fleeing Aylmer.

He said that if anyone under investigation by child welfare officials
leaves the country, they would not likely be sought.

"We don't have the resources to pursue people," he said.

The decision to remove four boys and three girls from their home on July 4
sparked an uproar from family rights organizations and Church of God
congregants. They protested outside the St. Thomas courtroom where a judge
ruled last week that the children will remain in foster care until a
hearing into their removal is complete.

The law allows parents to spank their children with a bare hand but
prohibits unnecessary force. Church of God members insist the hand is
intended to show affection and the Bible allows for the use of items such
as sticks to discipline children.

Mr. Hildebrandt appeared to soften his stance on corporal punishment on
Friday when, in a news release, he wrote that "recent incidents have caused
us to review our Church teachings and practices relating to the parenting
and discipline of our children."

But yesterday he said the church was merely signalling that it was prepared
to seek common ground to resolve the situation. "However, we make it clear
we will not give up our Biblically held convictions, for we cannot," he
said in a second release.

Are You For Humans or Suckerfish?

   
 July 2001

That's the issue in Klamath Falls, Oregon, where armed U.S. federal marshals are 
guarding the irrigation canal gates to keep the river water from flowing to the farms 
of 1,400 farmers who depend on it. The Endangered Species Act (ESA), as interpreted by 
a federal court, has ruled that two endangered suckerfish have more rights than local 
residents who have been using the Klamath River for 100 years. The livelihood of 1,400 
farmers and their families are at stake because they cannot survive without the water 
from the river.

On July 12 Oregon's U.S. Senator Gordon Smith offered Amendment 899 to release the 
water to the farmers. It was tabled (killed) by a roll call vote in which most 
Democrats sided with the suckerfish and all but 3 Republicans sided with humans.

We were shocked to note that Senator Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL) voted for fish instead of 
humans. We hope he will get a flood of messages asking, "Why did you vote for 
suckerfish instead of for good Americans who are just trying to make a living for 
their families on their own property using river water that the government promised 
them they would always have?"

ON THE RESERVATION

El Dorado at Last: The Casino Boom-- Did Clinton cronies cash in on Indian
gambling?

BY MICAH MORRISON
Wednesday, July 18, 2001 12:01 a.m. EDT


Gambling sponsored by Indian tribes has exploded from bingo games in the
late 1970s to full-fledged casinos owned by 196 legally designated "gaming
tribes" and generating $10 billion in revenues last year--with
approximately 175 more groups petitioning for tribal recognition and casino
rights. Gaming, often viewed as an economic self-sufficiency program for
exploited Native Americans, is now shadowed by controversy and, critics
charge, mounting scandal.

In the last weeks of the Clinton administration, two top officials of the
Interior Department's Bureau of Indian Affairs made controversial decisions
rejecting staff recommendations and issuing three valuable tribal
designations. Both then returned to private practice in Indian law, taking
high-paying jobs in firms handling gambling issues. The two officials also
issued rulings in three Connecticut tribal cases that have prompted a
lawsuit by the state attorney general designed to stop further casino
development.

Under current law, little-known groups--some with only the thinnest of
genealogical or historical links to American Indian identity--can qualify
for recognition as a federal tribe and open a casino. Indian gaming has
become so controversial that late last year Rep. Frank Wolf (R., Va.) and
Rep. Chris Shays (R., Conn.) wrote President Clinton asking for a
moratorium on new tribal recognitions. Mr. Clinton ignored the request.
Rep. Wolf now is calling for "a sweeping investigation" of the BIA. With
state legislatures and local communities also sounding alarms, it's time to
take a closer look at the new El Dorados.

Champions of Indian gaming say it brings wealth and power to tribes mired
in poverty and attendant miseries. Revenues from casino gambling are
leveling the playing field with the white man after centuries of
mistreatment, its advocates say. Opponents say that only a tiny portion of
the Native American community actually benefits from the casino bounty and
that gambling is an insidious evil--destroying lives, attracting loan
sharking and money laundering, drugs and organized crime. Critics charge
that many of the Indians seeking to open casinos do not qualify as tribes,
and may, in fact, not even be Indians. Groups of dubious Indian descent,
critics say, often act as front-men for powerful non-Indian investors
hoping to reap gambling riches.

The Indian casino boom was born in 1987, with the Supreme Court's ruling in
California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians. Concerned by the possible
infiltration of organized crime, California had attempted to restrict bingo
and card games on the Cabazon Indian reservation. But the court affirmed
the right of Indian tribes to conduct gambling operations on reservations,
free of state regulation. "The State's interest in preventing the
infiltration of the tribal bingo enterprises by organized crime does not
justify state regulation," it ruled. "State regulation would impermissibly
infringe on tribal government."

Congress responded by passing the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Any
"recognized" Indian tribe complying with the provisions of the act could
open gambling enterprises. An "Indian tribe" was defined as any "tribe,
band, nation, or other organized group or community of Indians" that would
be "recognized as eligible" by the Secretary of the Interior and
"possessing powers of self-government." The casino gold rush was on.

What this currently entails is evident in the controversy over Clinton
administration decisions by then-BIA director Kevin Gover and deputy
director Michael Anderson. The decisions were documented in a Boston Globe
exposé in March, but not widely reported elsewhere. On his last day in
office, Mr. Gover rejected staff findings and granted federal recognition
to the Chinook Indians of Washington state. Mr. Gover "personally rewrote
the staff's findings," the Globe's Sean Murphy reported, "inserting his own
conclusions to affirm the tribe's authenticity while editing out years of
work by government historians, anthropologists, and genealogists."

Mr. Gover stepped aside on Jan. 3 and named Mr. Anderson acting director.
Mr. Anderson then recognized the Duwamish of Seattle as a tribe, reversing
an earlier Interior Department finding. On President Clinton's last day in
office, Mr. Anderson recognized the Nipmuc of Massachusetts as a tribe,
rejecting the findings of Interior Department historians, according to the
Globe.

Earlier this month, the Nipmuc signed a casino development deal with Lakes
Gaming, a Minnesota-based corporation that manages a casino in Louisiana
and has other Indian casino development agreements in Michigan and
California. The deal calls for Lake's continued support in recognition
battles and development of a casino in return for 35% of net income for
seven

You folks better get real.

The die is cast. American enforcable borders is now an oxymoron.

It is clear that most Americans and their politicians demand more
people in the US. We want more and more people...
more housing developments, shopping malls, more roads, more schools,
more pavement, more pollution, less water.

We need more poor, uneducated immigrants in order to keep wages
low so we can buy cheap stuff, eat cheap junk food...after all why
should the Mexican Oligarchs share any of their wealth with poor
Mexican peons...we should take them ALL in. After all, isn't it a
good thing that Mexico has one of the worlds most corrupt
governments and the most billionaires in the world after the US?
Why should they change and give up their privileges? We have
PLENTY of room. It is a good thing we can be their safety valve.

We need more diversity. We need more official languages in the US.
Why should American kids be deprived of having to learn more then
one "native" tongue? As a matter of fact, why should immigrant kids
even have to learn English? Isn't that cultural imperialism?

It is clear the goal of most Americans is to have the US surpass India in
population by the year 2050. LA and NYC are underdeveloped.

We need Calcutta by the Hudson.

MORE IS BETTER!

July 18, 2001
Spiritual medium LYSA MOSKOWITZ-MATEU has been channeling CHANDRA LEVY, and
now she speaks out about the case exclusively with ET!

"No one hired me to get involved in the Chandra Levy case," she says. "The
only person I was contacted by was Chandra Levy's spirit."

And the message that Chandra passed along to Lysa, if it is indeed true, is
nothing less than startling: "What Chandra said to me is that she was
killed. She was killed accidentally, which means that people didn't go to
her to kill her, but yet things got out of hand and she wasn't willing to
keep quiet, and that led to her death. She was strangled, and the person who
strangled her is not who everybody thinks it is. It's somebody that she
knows."

Re: [CTRL] WT: The court vindicated?

-Caveat Lector-

the amazing thing in the Clinton - Jones case is the case itself.

here is a woman who the then governor whipped it out in front of her, and in
an admittedly classless Arkansas manner, asked if wanted a suck. she said
no. he put it away. there were no repercussions from her saying no.

isn't this what we are trying to teach our children - that no means no?

so in essence she got 800,000 dollars for NOT giving a blow job.

maybe I should sue... i've never given any president a blow job - lets see
there have been 5 presidents since I turned 18 so that's 4 million dollars I

[CTRL] EPA Warns About Polluting Trees

[flw]

-Caveat Lector-

Oaks and air
http://www.washtimes.com/national/inbeltway.htm
 Contrary to popular belief, the trees you plant might not help the environment 
after all.
 The Environmental Protection Agency says some trees release as much as 10,000 
times more biogenic
(naturally formed) volatile organic compounds -- creating ozone and other unhealthy 
particulates -- than more
atmospherically friendly "low emitters."
 "These compounds are particularly important because they create ozone and fine 
particulate matter, which
are damaging to the human respiratory system," says the EPA's California Air Resources 
Board, which studied
more than 1,400 tree species and rated them for their various pollution effects and 
pollen production.
 Now, the EPA is telling people to consider a tree's impact before planting.
 "Low emitters" include the Chinese hackberry, avocado, peach, ashes, sawleaf 
zelkova and the Eastern
redbud.
 Some "high emitters" are the London plane, California sycamore, liquidamber, 
Chinese sweet gum,
goldenrain and the scarlet, red and willow oaks.

Yes, and it's getting a little ridiculous...

I've mentioned here before that it used to be quite common to see
rainbow-striped flags sold in kite retail outlets, as the flags were a
favorite to attach to lines of kites that had a strong enough pull to
support it...there was no political or social meaning to it, it was
popular because it was colorful...

Just 5 or so years ago, you'd find these flags sold by most kite
retailers (along with other types of banners and flags), and indeed one
of the 'old timers' where I fly has one of these flags...

But he no longer flies it because of the current connotations...and one
rarely finds these flags sold by kite retailers any more.

This 'old timer' with the rainbow flag also flies a huge flowform -- 18
feet by 23 feet -- that has multicolored stripes.  He's flown this kite
for over a decade.  Two other guys have kites just like it, all of them
multicolored striped.  Nothing special is meant by the 'rainbow' colors,
that is the standard kite...if you want it different, you pay more money
(and these things run $1500+)...

Two years ago, in June -- gay pride month -- two obviously gay men
stopped and commented on the kites...actually one was taciturn, the other
was a almost a cliche of a flaming queen and practically swooned in
rapture over the kites...and declared them just the thing for Gay Pride
Month, since they were rainbow colored...

Two weeks ago I was flying my kites at this park...I had a beach umbrella
set up to protect myself from the sun...it was multicolored striped --
from what I've seen, almost ALL beach umbrellas are multicolored, either
striped or floral or some other design...

One of the other flyers (a newbie who started flying last year) came over
and commented on the umbrella...how nice it was...especially that it was
RAINBOW colored...

It was the way that he stressed the word 'rainbow' that made me suspect
that he meant something more than an artistic appraisal...perhaps my face
betrayed that fact, because he then stuttered and hemmed and hawed and
added "Well, it matches all your kites..."...which was sort of a "Duh!"
statement, since I have many kites in all different colors...

So it seems one can't even put up a beach umbrella for some shade without
a political/social comment being made (or suspected of being made)...

Again, it should be kept in mind that it may not have been Levy in the
apartment at that time using the computer...

That said, it was reported on the news this morning that DC police are
now saying they checked Levy's phone record, whichs show no incoming or
outgoing calls were made the day she disappeared...presumably this means
5/1, it wasn't made clear whether this meant the 24 hours preceding her
disappearance and would include the afternoon and evening of 4/30...

In the same report it is said that in addition to all the MapQuest

government to raise our children, all we need do is remain silent and ride
the national tide. Georgia is already in the surf having both lowered to
six(Gov. Barnes tried for age five) and raised to 18 the compulsory
attendance age in the first session of Governor Barnes' term, with barely
a
peep from the people. Consider these words of Warren Burger, "The
statist
notion that governmental power should supersede parental authority in all
cases because some parents abuse and neglect children is repugnant to
American tradition." May the repugnancy and absurdity of D.C.'s
attempt to
supervise the lives of all three-year-olds spur us to action.

 Here's the link to the Washington Post article and excerpts:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A16066-2001Jun18.html

"D.C. Council member Kevin P. Chavous (D-Ward 7) plans to introduce a
bill today that would lower from 5 to 3 the age at which schooling is
compulsory, part of a push among school and elected officials to
expand early childhood learning.

The bill would require a child to be enrolled in a public, private or
parochial school or in "private instruction" if the child turned 3 before
Dec. 31 in that academic year. Chavous, chairman of the council's
education
committee, said that home schooling by parents would qualify as private
instruction. But it is unclear in the bill what guidelines stay-at-home
parents would be required to follow and how they would document those
efforts to the school system...

Chavous said his proposal is consistent with national efforts to lengthen
the school day and the academic year and with research demonstrating
the
cognitive benefits of early childhood intervention. "It would force the
school system to take charge and responsibility for every 3- and 4-year-
old
in the city to make sure they are prepared for kindergarten," he said...

[CTRL] UK SHOOT TO KILL POLICY ??

[Andrew Hennessey]

-Caveat Lector-

UK POLICE SHOOT TO KILL POLICY ?

a man was shot dead in brixton by police whilst brandishing
a silver cigarette lighter like a gun.
the second execution in as many days - --- perhaps
sending out a tough message to would be rioters.

It wasn't disclosed by the news I heard if this man was non-white
as in brixton london - it tends to be a black community.
racial violence has been sweeping the poor of the UK,
but so far the victims shot dead have been mentally disturbed
people.

What followed was lots of establishment press releases
saying that gun crime had risen by 40% and that maybe
the police would get dart guns to deal with it - statements unlikely to
appeal to the sensible -

however these facts were designed to distract you from the fact that there
are 2 people shot dead UNNECESSARILY in 2 days by the police.

It rather looks like the police have adopted a shoot to kill policy
in the UK during these times of civil unrest.

meanwhile we watch the news of the cricket on BBC.

Greta was skeptical and cut him off several times as he tried to tediously
promote the official version and refer viewers to the NTSB website. She
asked him pointed questions, like has the center fuel tank been corrected yet
on Boeing 747s. The answer, no not yet, but we're working on it (five years
later?).

The Truth: It costs too much, and Boeing still disputes the NTSB findings. So
there.

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Miami Police Face Series of Inquiries After Shootings

[Aleisha Saba]

-Caveat Lector-

I must add to this thing going on in Miami this board who would run the
city wants a Civilian Police Review Board.

This is the height of ignorance - for police are civilians, they are not
militiary even though they have chosen somewhere along the line to have
a Chief wear the Colonel's Eagles and a Captain Captain's Bars, etc.

Who or whatever put these uniforms on civilian police officers sure was
a moran.   Note your County Sheriff has more jurisdiction and is
elected; the police are just a civil servant under control of a Safety
Director who answers normally to a Mayor or a City Manager who answer to
the public.

Civilian Police Review Board - how many times have I heard this old
familiar tune - an attempt for a bunch of collective IQ of 80 to attempt
to overthrow your local government in the form of "advisory boards" -
something like self appointed UN?

You don't like your local police, kick the Mayor and City Council the
hell out of office but start first, by scrapping the Colonel Eagles, and
Captains Bars, and drop the militant crap.

The police are public servants, but no public door mats.We already
have a militia and in the end they answer to a Govenor in case of
emergency.

And the Sheriff is the most powerful law enforcement agent in the State,
for he is elected by the people and can be dumped by the people.

Review Boards are nothing but a political cat paw and when you look
beneath the surface - one does not need a preacher one needs merely to
abide by the laws.

But when you look at a Clinton, you realize that Crime Pays?   Right?

[CTRL] WND's Flight 800 expert, Jack Cashill on CNN

[MIKE SPITZER]

-Caveat Lector-

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23662


TUESDAY JULY 17 2001

WND's Flight 800 expert on CNN

Producer Jack Cashill to discuss controversy over midair tragedy


Jack Cashill, the man behind the stunning documentary video "Silenced:
Flight 800 and the Subversion of Justice," will be a special guest tonight
on CNN's "The Point."

TWA Flight 800, a Boeing 747, exploded in July 1996 shortly after taking
off from New York's Kennedy Airport, killing all 230 people onboard. The
U.S. government issued an explanation that a fuel tank had somehow
exploded.

Officials flatly denied any evidence existed of foul play, including the
possibility that Flight 800 had been blown out of the air by a missile.

Cashill's investigation, however, reveals documented facts that fly in the
face of the official explanation. His video presents compelling evidence
that Flight 800 was shot down by missile fire and that a massive government
cover-up followed the tragic event.

WorldNetDaily recently ran a five-part series by Cashill that chronicles
his investigative work. The WND contributing writer's latest column
explains why the federal government would cover-up the truth about the
Flight 800 tragedy.

"The Point," hosted by Greta Van Susteren, airs on CNN at 8:30 p.m.
Eastern, 5:30 p.m. Pacific.

[CTRL] WND: FBI agents claim DOJ fixed probe; Reno, aides worked 'hand and glove' with White House to protect Clinton

CHINAGATE: UNFINISHED BUSINESS

FBI agents claim DOJ fixed probe

Reno, aides worked 'hand and glove' with White House to protect Clinton
-

Editor's note: This is one in a series of exclusive WorldNetDaily
investigative reports on the Justice Department's still-active criminal
probe of 1996 Clinton-gore fund-raising abuses.

By Paul Sperry
© 2001 WorldNetDaily.com


WASHINGTON -- The day after the Thompson committee hearings on Chinagate
kicked off in the Senate, a lawyer driving a white Lexus pulled up to Yah
Lin "Charlie" Trie's home in Little Rock, Ark.

It was July 2, 1997, and FBI agents conducting surveillance on Trie's house
watched, powerlessly, as Trie's secretary, Maria "Dia" Mapili, and the
lawyer loaded the car with four boxes, which agents later confirmed
contained documents under subpoena by both a federal grand jury and the
Senate.

Earlier that day, agents thought they had a green light to search Trie's
home to stop the further destruction of evidence that they'd discovered
while sifting through Trie's garbage cans.

Mixed in with fish heads and other garbage were bits of key records that
investigators had sought in their criminal probe of 1996 Clinton-Gore
fund-raising abuses.

After drying out and piecing together the shreds of paper, they restored
checks from Asian donors to President Clinton's legal defense fund,
Democratic National Committee donor lists, travel records for Chinese money
men and statements from Chinese bank accounts. There also was a FedEx slip
showing the White House had sent two pounds of documents to Trie just two
months earlier.

But, at the last minute, Justice officials denied their request for a
search warrant. In fact, FBI special agent Kevin Sheridan was back in
Washington arguing against the high-level punt at the same time Mapili and
her lawyer, who'd been tipped off to the scheduled search that day, were
carting off documents.

Scrambling to recover the documents, special FBI agent Daniel Wehr asked
for permission to stop the Lexus as it sped off. Justice officials turned
that request down, too.

Agents learned later that Mapili, who had no prior counsel, had quickly and
conveniently lawyered up with one of Arkansas' best -- W.H. Taylor, who is
Don Tyson's personal lawyer. Tyson, the chicken king who heads
Fayetteville, Ark.-based Tyson Foods, is a big Clinton supporter.

Remarkably, Taylor had driven almost four hours to Little Rock from
Fayetteville to help Mapili cart off subpoenaed documents.

"That's just not a coincidence," said I.C. Smith, the special agent in
charge of the FBI in Arkansas at the time.

"Here you've got lawyers stepping over one another there in Little Rock,
and of all the people, she hooks up with Don Tyson's personal lawyer,"
Smith said in an exclusive interview with WorldNetDaily. "She didn't make
that decision herself."

So who hooked her up with Tyson's lawyer? Again, Justice officials weren't
interested in investigating.

Before subpoenaing Mapili for Trie's records, Smith had tried to get a
device installed to record the numbers pulsed to and from Mapili's phone to
see who she was talking to. But Washington objected.


But that's not all.

After agents complained about the boxes of documents taking flight from
Trie's house, Justice sent a lawyer, William Corcoran, to Little Rock to
meet with Taylor to review the documents.

Only, the meeting never took place.

"Corcoran overslept the morning of the meeting, and Taylor left and went
back to Fayetteville with the documents," Smith said.

In sworn statements on Oct. 21 and 22, 1997 -- after the Senate hearings
had ended -- Mapili confirmed agents' worst fears by admitting she
destroyed and hid documents on orders from Trie, who had fled to China. She
hid some documents in a credenza, and others under Trie's bed.

Finally, on Oct. 23, 1997, Justice officials OK'd a search warrant, and
agents obtained documents sufficient to indict Trie. (The indictment was
scheduled for November 1998, but officials postponed it until January
1998 -- after the election.) Trie was later convicted in a plea deal that
spared him jail for his cooperation in further investigations.

All told, Trie gave $640,000 in illegal donations to the DNC and
Clinton-Gore reelection effort, and $460,000 more in illegal donations to
Clinton's legal defense fund. He made the donations to buy access to
Clinton for Chinese benefactors such as Ng Lap Seng, a shady Macau tycoon,
and Wang Jun, a Beijing arms dealer. They got the access, and possibly
more.

Even so, Clinton was never a target, and agents were blocked from following
any leads back to him.

to the solicitation or payment of funds f

In 1979 my old friend who worked for the National Enquirer at the time,
told me people wanted the Mafia to take over Miami and clean out a cess
pool for Miami was far worse than any other major city she had ever seen
in USA.

Noted here most of the police are Hispanics and their targets seem to be
blacks - now in Cincinnati, Ohio the oh so social in this city now arms
up after witnessing the city turning into a war zone.and the UN
wants to disarm America?

 - all the whites I knew who once loved Miami - have moved onto
Melbourne or other areas.wait until Naples feels threatened?
And these people are warned of a "long hot summer".seems I have
heard this threat before.

So witness Law and Order, "Non-White" style.
And as Geoge Bush said, Keep Your Powder Dry - for as we know the
Barbarians are no longer at the gate they reside in the cities.

Miami Police Face Series of Inquiries After Shootings

In Depth

National: Criminal Justice
IAMI, July 17 — Stung by accusations of abuse, corruption and
cover-ups, the Miami Police Department is under intense scrutiny by
federal prosecutors and the department's own investigators, who are
reviewing a string of police shootings in recent years.

Just last week, Chief Raul Martinez dismissed a 17-year veteran of the
police force, saying an internal investigation into a 1997 shooting of
an unarmed homeless man concluded that the officer had planted a stolen
gun at the scene.

Four months ago, a federal grand jury indicted five officers on
obstruction-of-justice charges in the 1996 shooting of a 73- year-old
man who died in a barrage of 123 bullets.

The United States attorney's office is also looking into accusations of
use of excessive force, planting evidence and conspiracies to conceal
officers' actions.

"We are continuing our investigation into a number of suspect police
shootings that have occurred over the past several years in South
Florida," said Guy Lewis, the United States attorney for the Southern
District of Florida.
Chief Martinez said the department was taking steps to regain public
trust, but he defended the police force, saying most officers were
professionals dedicated to public service.

People close to the investigation said the shootings included the 1995
deaths of two 19-year-old black men who were shot in the back as they
fled the scene of a robbery, the 1999 shooting of a man who pointed a
toy gun at police officers and the possible planting of a gun in the
1999 shooting of a robbery suspect.

At the same time, the state attorney for Miami-Dade County, Katherine
Fernandez Rundle, announced that her office was reviewing the shooting
policies of police departments in the Miami area, including those of
Miami and North Miami Beach, where a police shooting of a man in a
wheelchair last month prompted protests.

Federal authorities have been investigating more than a half-dozen
police departments across the country, said Marie Simonetti Rosen,
publisher of Law Enforcement News, a publication of John Jay College of
Criminal Justice in New York. The Miami department is the second largest
of those under scrutiny, after Los Angeles, she said.

In the Miami inquiry, investigators are also looking into possible
cover-ups by top officials, people who have met with prosecutors said.

Ms. Rosen said the situation in Miami was unusual not only for its scope
but also because it recalled a large-scale inquiry in the 1980's when
the Justice Department reviewed more than a dozen cases involving
accusations of police brutality in Miami over several years.

That investigation was announced after the acquittal of four white
officers in the beating death of a black businessman had touched off
three days of riots. The violence left 15 people dead and destroyed
scores of businesses on Miami's mostly black northwest side.

"Miami is probably just sensitive to this issue in a way that other
cities aren't because they were almost one of the first to experience
it," Ms. Rosen said.

With the recent shootings and subsequent investigations, the wounds from
the 1980's have been reopened. Citizens' groups fear an escalation of
hostility toward the police if the investigations do not result in
charges or if there are more shootings.

"We're on the brink of a real hot summer here in Miami," said Nathaniel
Wilcox, executive director of People United to Lead the Struggle for
Equality, a consortium of more than 50 church and community groups
created after the 1980 riots.

Last month, the organization held a news conference with other civil
rights groups to announce that it was asking the city to create a
civilian police review board.

Mr. Wilcox said the department had systemic problems of brutality and
cover-ups. "We're saying we are not going to sit back and allow this to
go on," he said.

The court vindicated?

Washington Times
July 17, 2001

By Bruce Fein


Last May 27, the fourth anniversary of the United States Supreme Court's
politically controversial decision in Clinton vs. Jones (1997) denying a
presidential immunity from civil suits pivoting on non-official conduct
passed unnoticed.

That silence speaks volumes. It corroborates the high court's discrediting
of the parade of projected horribles conjured up by President William
Jefferson Clinton's advocates if immunity were denied.

The persistent myth peddled by some that Clinton vs. Jones caused President
Clinton's independent counsel and impeachment ordeals is fit more for
troubadours than for historians.

Paula Jones sued Mr. Clinton in federal district court before Judge Susan
Webber Wright on May 6, 1994, asserting various federal and state causes of
action. They all spun on Mr. Clinton's alleged sexual harassment of Miss
Jones in a hotel room during his Arkansas governorship. Mr. Clinton
insisted that neither a trial of the case nor discovery could ensue while
he occupied the White House because of an implied constitutional immunity.
(In contrast, members of the House and Senate command an express immunity
from suit for legislative activity under Article I, section 6).

Writing for a unanimous court in Jones, Justice John Paul Stevens lacerated
Mr. Clinton's constitutional defense. The president argued that his
schedule was too crowded to accommodate defending against civil litigation.

In other words, an accommodation would necessarily sabotage the discharge
of presidential duties and responsibilities. Justice Stevens scoffed. As
any commonplace observer knows, presidents routinely squander time on golf
courses, fishing, fund-raising appearances, and otherwise that could be
clipped if needed to defend an occasional lawsuit based on pre-presidential
conduct. And nothing in episodic testimony of presidents in criminal
investigations or prosecutions indicated a danger to presidential
functions.

Mr. Clinton also forecast a hurricane of politically motivated harassing
and frivolous litigation if the Jones suit proceeded. Justice Stevens again
voiced incredulity, noting the arsenal of legal sanctions against vexing
and mean-spirited lawsuits.

What Mr. Clinton conspicuously declined to argue was telling. He did not
even hint he might be "trapped" into apparent perjury or obstruction of
justice in the Jones case if compelled to testify under oath.

The Clinton vs. Jones critics have accused the high court of political
naivete. But the fourth anniversary proves the detractors deserve that
derision. Neither the former president nor any of his intimate lieutenants
have suggested that the litigating distraction impaired any presidential
decision or function. Moreover, the forecasted flood of Paula Jones copycat
suits against either President Clinton or his successor George W. Bush
proved as imaginary as the Loch Ness Monster.

Scourges of Clinton vs. Jones have thus resorted to the ill-conceived legal
maxim that if the law and facts are against you, confuse the issue. They
urge that Monicagate and the nation's impeachment crisis would have been
avoided if the Supreme Court had sustained Mr. Clinton's constitutional
immunity claim. But think of its monstrous implications: namely, that
presidents should enjoy constitutional immunity from a civil lawsuit
because their disdain for law and constitutional duties coupled with
vaulting ambitions will push them to criminality in attempting to win.

Enlightened law rewards virtue, not villainy. Furthermore, even Mr.
Clinton's most ardent defenders in Clinton vs. Jones did not imagine their
client would stoop to reprehensible conduct if the suit continued.

It might be said that the precedent was simply the first step of a
"right-wing" conspiracy to destroy Mr. Clinton's presidency. But the
indictment is counterfactual. The chief legal charges against the president
all proved substantial, not frivolous. Thus, he settled the Jones lawsuit
for a handsome sum; was impeached by the House of Representatives on two
counts, and 50 senators voted to convict on one charge; was held in
contempt of court and fined by Judge Wright for intentional lying and
attempting to obstruct justice; and, agreed to a suspension of his Arkansas
law license and conceded the falsity of some testimony in exchange for the
independent counsel's closure of an outstanding criminal investigation.

In sum, Mr. Clinton's misconduct, not the Clinton vs. Jones ruling, brought
on his multifront legal wars. No one speaks of a right-wing conspiracy
anymore, not even New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. History's
vindication of the Supreme Court rejection of President Clinton's immunity
claim is not assured. Napoleon quipped that history is largely a fable
mutually agreed upon, which his own Jekyll-and-Hyde treatment in the
evolution of French history texts substantiates. Ditto for the 1876 Battle
of the Little Bighorn.

The Myth of a Stolen Election
Those "flawed" military ballots had to be counted under federal law.

BY BOB ZELNICK
Tuesday, July 17, 2001 12:01 a.m. EDT


Readers of the New York Times were treated on Sunday to a massive report
claiming that hundreds of overseas Florida ballots cast in violation of
state law were nonetheless counted by election officials under pressure
from representatives of George W. Bush. While even the Times stops short of
claiming that inclusion of the "flawed" votes spelled the difference
between victory and defeat for Mr. Bush, the report is clearly meant to
provide ammunition for those who question the legitimacy of his victory and
presidency.

Considering the vast research that went into the report, there are stunning
critical gaps. One involves counting overseas military ballots with no
postmark. Another involves counting special federal ballots mailed by
voters who offered no "proof" that they had earlier tried to obtain state
absentee ballots. In both cases the Times suggests state law was violated.

What the story fails to report is that federal law required Florida to
count these votes. Following the presidential election of 1980, the U.S.
Justice Department brought suit against Florida charging that the state's
laws and procedures unduly burdened overseas military personnel seeking to
vote. In August 1982, Florida signed a consent decree, acknowledging
deficiencies and pledging reform.

One of the problems was a state law prohibiting the counting of overseas
military ballots unless they were mailed with an Army Post Office, Fleet
Post Office or foreign postmark. Personnel on maneuvers or in combat get
their mail out in a variety of ways and ought not to be disenfranchised if,
say, Bosnian postal authorities treat their mail carelessly. Accordingly,
Florida amended its Administrative Code to require only that the ballot be
"postmarked or signed and dated no later than the date of the Federal
election." The change became part of the consent decree, giving it
precedence over any inconsistent provision in state law.

Regarding requests for overseas ballots, several states had laws similar to
Florida's. Congress addressed this situation in 1986 with the Uniformed and
Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. This permits overseas voters who
have not received state ballots to cast a generic federal ballot. To
protect against fraud, the overseas voter must sign an oath stating "that
my application for a regular state absentee ballot was mailed in time to be
received 30 days prior to this election." The oath is a substitute for
physical proof of the effort to obtain a state ballot.

To the Gore team, the absentee ballots to be counted on Nov. 17, 2000, were
a lethal threat. Bob Dole, who lost Florida in 1996, had won a hefty
majority of absentee ballots and Mr. Bush was expected to prevail by 2-1.
On Nov. 15, Gore campaign attorney Mark Herron circulated a memo to
Democratic lawyers across the state providing a five-point guide to
throwing out military votes. The first instructed Gore lawyers to
"Determine that the voter affirmatively requested an overseas ballot," the
intent being to exclude federal ballots supported only by the oath.

Item number five on the Herron list stated that only those ballots mailed
with an APO, FPO, or foreign postmark should be considered valid. He
acknowledged that his instructions were inconsistent with the Florida
Administrative Code. But there was not a word of this in the Times.




The Gore team was successful in scuttling military votes, particularly in
Democratic counties. A total of 356 overseas military ballots were
disallowed due to postmark challenges and another 157 because there was no
independent record of requests for state absentee ballots. Combined with
other causes, a total of 788 military absentee ballots were rejected. In
Bush counties, 29% of overseas ballots were disallowed, but the figure was
60% in Gore counties; in pliant Broward, the Gore kill rate was 77%.
Compared with these totals, the number of voters documented by the Times
who cast illegal ballots--e.g., by omitting to include a witness, or
mailing envelopes postmarked inside the U.S.--seems positively puny. When
the Herron memo became public, the Bush team erupted in protest. Democrats,
from Joseph Lieberman on down, retreated. Florida Attorney General Robert
A. Butterworth issued a memorandum saying that "canvassing boards should
count overseas ballots which are from qualified military electors and which
bear no postmark if the ballot is signed and dated no later than the date
of the election."

Mr. Bush's team then filed suit against seven county canvassing boards. On
Dec. 8, U.S. District Judge Lacey A. Collier found that any state statute
requiring an APO, FPO or foreign postmark "conflicts with federal law." The
judge also held: "We must presume . . . that if the election official does

Interesting Item on this ADL for I have long wondered who and what they
really are.   There are several Jewish Groups who now believe they do
them more harm than good.

ADL wants to go into mortal combat with our First Amendment Rights - I
do not like the ADL Steven - I do not like the Zionist movement, Steven
for as a Saudi Arabian Prince the one chosen as heir to the throne once
told me,  the jews and moslems and christians wanted to live in peace in
the Holy Land and the European Zionists would not let them so this is
anti=semitism for these are true semites who are being slowly murdered
and genocided.

At least that is what I think and the ADL will NEVER NEVER NEVER silence
my voice.   On this list, only Kris has such great authority and power.

So Salaam and Sayanora,

  AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER OF BEACHHEADPlease circulate 
  as widely as possible in electronic & print form.DEATH THREATS 
  & INTIMIDATION TACTICS; The Illuminati's Global Internet 
  AssaultOn May 25th I issued an e-bulletin concerning the 
  prohibition of David Icke's website from Victoria's State Public Library 
  System Computers. It was categorized as 'HATE SPEECH' & 'FORBIDDEN'. On 
  May 29th , in David Icke's 'Current Headlines' column , it was reported the 
  site was attacked & hacked into , which was traced back to some rather 
  ominous localities.Filtering software is solely reponsible for it's 
  removal & I'm sure this form of software will be used in filtering sites 
  like David Icke's , who challenge consensus reality & conditioned belief , 
  in the forseeable future , under the umbrella of 'censorship'.VICNET 
  (the state of Victoria's community Internet provider) have been linked to the 
  Anti-Defamation Commission (the Mossad/Rothschild front - Rothschild being an 
  Illuminati bloodline family) in steering the draconian internet censorship 
  politics , now in place in Victoria & Australia , hindering Australian 
  citizens choice to access independent & alternative media sources. In 
  addition to this , you have Victorian Premier Steve Bracks' proposal of a 
  Religious & Racial Tolerance bill (as reported in issue 16 of BEACHHEAD) , 
  which is a front to rid citizens of freedom of speech & choice , to 
  silence political discussion & to allow the draconian-totalitarian 
  globalisation (New World Order) monster to storm on unchallenged. In 
  conjunction with that , under the guise of 'censorship' the South Australian 
  Parliament introduced an Internet censorship bill on November 8th 2000 , which 
  now has been split into two components , which I believe will be worded & 
  implemented as legislation & be so general that almost anyone can & 
  will be prosecuted , especially those challenging officialdom & perceived 
  as dissidents of the establishment. These two bill's are part of a national 
  regime of not only censorship , but silencing & eliminating freedom of 
  speech & choice , as the current times dictate here in 
  Australia.My colleague in Canada , HJ Springer atwww.centrexnews.com , informed me on Monday morning 
  (Australian time) via e-mail , that the director of www.illuminati-news.com , was forced into closure over 
  the course of the weekend , due to threats to his life & his families 
  also. On top of constant hacking & the site being under surveillance for 
  quite a while - the intimidation worked & the site is now defunct. HJ 
  Springer established a mirror site for illuminati-news.com , but all files 
  have been removed & neither the original or mirror site are 
  active.On July 5th , a second colleague of mine in England , Steve 
  Seymour , at www.bigwig.net/softwaredesign , had his site shut down 
  without notice. Explanation given to him was because of the material posted on 
  his site from sources like David Icke , Jeff Rense & other like-minded 
  researchers -- was merit for his site's expulsion by it's service provider. 
  Steve Seymour has since established several mirror sites , one of them is 
  located at; http://software.design.tripod.comCould anyone 
  who is concerned enough about all this contact me with information pertaining 
  to website closure & mirror sites , threats of intimidation & death 
  for non-compliance & any developments taking place , for my own research 
  & to alert others to what is happening.The more people that are 
  informed about these tactics & attempts to silence , the better.

Back in 1987 was a lot of flack about this pledge and I sent to Library
of Congress for information on this Bellamy and the Pledge.

It seems he or the son had worked on of all things, Ballistic Missiles.

Strange one would salute a flag and forget the Constitution for this
document sits first above the flag?

The very word allegiance is to be in support of a state, a cause or
ruler by his "subjects", etc.

Then we have the 21 gun salute and the worst story I heard that year
when they gave Clinton the salute, they were such poor marksmen they
missed?

Now I imagine another Bellamy will come along and write a Pledge for the
flag of the United Nations - wonder how they start their order of
allegiance and to whom do the owe their loyalty - to the Zulu Nations?
