Re: [CTRL] Economist Panel Says Recession Began March 2001
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 11/26/01 7:22:08 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The struggling U.S. economy slid into recession in March and its condition was worsened by the Sept. 11 attacks, a member of a panel of economists that officially dates U.S. recessions said on Monday. The announcement by the National Bureau of Economic Research confirmed that a record expansion that began in March 1991 -- after the last nine-month recession that began in mid-1990 -- was snapped exactly a decade later. The committee is satisfied that the total contraction in the economy is sufficient to merit the determination that a recession is under way, the NBER's business cycle dating committee said. It will be the 10th recession for the world's largest economy since the end of World War Two. Don't you just love all this econ speak bull? Now let's lay off a few thousand more people and see if that doesn't give us a bump. Is there anyone out there who thinks that the laying off of thousands of workers (while forcing the ones who are kept to work longer hours and longer weeks) might not be just a tiny reason for this recession (actually a depression) which the Bush administration and their media lackeys have finally decided to notice?

Re: [CTRL] Journal axes gene research on Jews and Palestinians
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 11/26/01 7:27:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a leading journal. Academics who have already received copies of Human Immunology have been urged to rip out the offending pages and throw them away. Such a drastic act of self-censorship is unprecedented in research publishing and has created widespread disquiet, generating fears that it may involve the suppression of scientific work that questions Biblical dogma. But that's kooky. It actually proves the Bible. According the the Bible I read, the Jews and the Palestinians share the same ancestor, Abraham. They differ only in that the Jews are descended from Sarah and the Moslems from Hagar. I think I mentioned this once before, when the Israeli were trying to find a disease that would attack Palestinians but not affect the Israeli. At that time I said that if they found such a disease, it would prove that the story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar was not true. Apparently it is.

All this cloning news is once again the public being informed of technology that is 30-50 years old. You know the elite used it to their benefit first; just look around, lots of them have been cloned many times.

I have watched in horror as all that he has told me has come to pass.

Re: [CTRL] IAC Fact Sheet - Afghanistan
-Caveat Lector- http://www.actionsf.org/ansfs0111.htm Friends, due several requests for the source material for this fact sheet, we are reposting a revised copy with sources included. Please call (415) 821-6545 or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] to have a hard copy sent to you by mail or a PDF sent by e-mail. Please forward and distribute widely for educational purposes. Question: Is the U.S. bombing campaign directed against terrorists or the people of Afghanistan? Answer: This is a war against the people of Afghanistan. The U.S. and British are dropping thousands of bombs and firing missiles on homes, schools, mosques, hospitals and villages throughout the country. One-thousand-pound to 15,000-pound bombs are deliberately targeting every major town and rural area. AC-130 Specter gunships filled with ammunition are firing huge Gatling guns on the population in a steady stream of bullets. On Oct. 22, in the village of Chowkar-Karez, dozens of civilians were killed. CNN quoted an unnamed Pentagon official as saying, The people there are dead because we wanted them dead. (Toronto Globe and Mail, Nov. 3, 2001) Wazir Akbarhan hospital in Kabul was bombed on the first day and 13 women were killed in the gynecology department. 200 people were killed in the hospital in Herat. Red Cross facilities were bombed twice in Kabul on Oct. 16. Cluster bombs â one of the most terrifying and deadly of the U.S. weapons â are now being used as bombing intensifies. Hundreds of small bomblets packed with razor shrapnel are dispersed at super-high velocity over a wide area, ripping into people with devastating damage. Cluster bombs are prohibited by the Geneva Convention, because of their indiscriminate nature (Protocol 1, Relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts, Article 51). A report from the Sydney Morning Herald (Oct. 26, 2001) quotes Dan Kelly, head of UN mine clearing in Afghanistan: These bomblets can explode if the villagers so much as touch them. It is a very violent death. You don't get arms and legs blown off like you do with anti-personnel mines, you get killed. Civilians are being deliberately targeted throughout the country. Another deplorable U.S. tactic is repeat bombing to kill rescue personnel. In Jalalabad, the Sultanpur mosque was bombed during prayer. As neighbors dug out 17 victims who were trapped, the plane returned to bomb minutes later, killing 120 people (Where the Bodies Are, Oct. 23, 2001, Geov Parrish, workingforchange.com) Cluster bombs, depleted uranium ammunition, 15,000-pound Daisy cutter fuel-air explosives: this is the terror being unleashed by the biggest military power in the world against one of the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in existence. It's not just the bombs are killing people. The dislocation and chaos of the war itself means huge numbers of Afghan people will die from hunger, cold and disease. According to UNICEF officials, more than 100,000 Afghan children will likely die from war-related causes by the end of winter. Question: What is the current state of the Afghan people? Answer: The average life expectancy in Afghanistan is 43 years. Per capita income is $180 per year. Only 13 percent of the entire population has access to drinking water. Barely 12% of the population has sanitation coverage. Literacy is only 20 percent. The infant-mortality rate is a shocking 247 deaths per 1,000 live births. On average, 16,000 mothers die in childbirth every year, one out of every 17 births, the second worst maternal mortality rate in the world. It's not just the bombs that are killing people. The dislocation and chaos of the war itself means huge numbers of Afghan people will die from hunger, cold and disease. According to UNICEF officials, more than 100,000 Afghan children will likely die from war-related causes by the end of winter. Question: Isn't the war in Afghanistan a defensive reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks? Answer: After Sept. 11, the U.S. immediately targeted all of Afghanistan and added to its enemies list any country or organization that didn't fully support the U.S. government on terrorism. Afghanistan agreed to negotiate but asked for proof of the culpability of Osama bin Laden in the September 11 attack. The Bush administration responded that they wouldn't negotiate and they refused to provide the evidence. Was it really because the U.S. wanted to combat terrorism? Or is it because the U.S. made a calculated decision to use the terrible Sept. 11 attack as justification for a Pentagon move to expand its domination in the Middle East and South/Central Asia? One only needs to look at the U.S. policy toward Iraq for a clue. The real motive for the 1991 U.S. war on Iraq and continued sanctions against the Iraqi people is to gain full control of the Persian/Arabian Gulf oil. Two-thirds of the world's known oil reserves lie in that region. The U.S. Gulf War allowed the Pentagon to establish numerous military bases in Saudi
[CTRL] Bush's New Rules create fourth arm of government

GeoCities - quick and easy web site hosting, just $8.95/month. http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/info1 ---BeginMessage--- Bush's New Rules to Fight Terror Transform the Legal Landscape By MATTHEW PURDY http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/25/politics/25LEGA.html?todaysheadlines NY Timess November 25, 2001 Pentagon officials begin designing military tribunals for suspected terrorists, they are considering the possibility of trials on ships at sea or on United States installations, like the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The proceedings promise to be swift and largely secret, with one military officer saying that the release of information might be limited to the barest facts, like the defendant's name and sentence. Transcripts of the proceedings, this officer said, could be kept from public view for years, perhaps decades. The military tribunals are the boldest initiative in a series of laws and rewritten federal regulations that, taken together, have created an alternate system of justice in the aftermath of Sept. 11, giving the government far greater power to detain, investigate and prosecute people suspected of involvement in terrorism. Those changes, described by legal experts and government and law enforcement officials, are likely to affect mostly residents of the country who are not citizens but who, until now, have had many of the constitutional rights and protections of citizens. The Bush administration says its agenda commands strong public support, a view bolstered by recent polls. Even most critics acknowledge the need for enhanced security measures, but the administration's new approach has stirred unease both inside and outside government, as well as overseas. Some senior law enforcement officials believe that the military tribunals are unnecessary and that the government's record in prosecuting terrorists in federal court over the last decade justifies continuing that approach. Spanish officials told the United States last week that they would not extradite eight men suspected of involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks without assurances that their cases would be kept in civilian court. Although it remains unclear how widely these new powers will ultimately be applied, the provisions alter some basic principles of the American judicial system - like the right to a jury trial, the privacy of the attorney-client relationship and strong protections against the use of preventive detention. The steps taken by the administration reflect outrage that the Sept. 11 terrorists were foreigners who lived freely and undetected in the United States, even though some had violated their visas, and the fear that potential terrorists or people with information about terrorist acts are among the millions of immigrants in the country. We're an open society, we give people access to the American dream, said Dan Bartlett, the White House communications director. With that privilege there is a responsibility. That responsibility has not always been lived up to, and it's not always been asked that they live up to it, either. President Bush's authorization of secret military tribunals for noncitizens accused of terrorism and the systematic interviewing of 5,000 young Middle Eastern men in the country on temporary visas is well known. But broad new powers are also contained in more obscure provisions. A recent rule change published without announcement in the Federal Register gives the government wide latitude to keep noncitizens in detention even when an immigration judge has ordered them freed. And under new laws, the attorney general can detain for deportation any noncitizen who he has reasonable grounds to believe is engaged in any activity that endangers the national security of the United States, according to a recent internal Immigration and Naturalization Service memorandum. Critics have said that the administration's measures often mean singling out people on the basis of nationality or ethnicity. We have decided to trade off the liberty of immigrants - particularly Arabs and Muslims - for the purported security of the majority, said David Cole, a law professor at Georgetown University who often represents detained foreigners. In the guidelines for carrying out the 5,000 interviews with young Middle Eastern men, Attorney General John Ashcroft wrote to federal prosecutors that the selection of the men was not meant to imply that one ethnic group or religious group is more prone to terrorism than another. Yet local law enforcement officials in several cities have balked at carrying out the interviews because of the impression of profiling. Secrecy is a hallmark of the wartime judicial system, just as the free flow of information is a signature of the nation's normal criminal procedures.

And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. 17: And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18: Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. 19: And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. 20: And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21: And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 22: And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest: 23: Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. 24: And Abraham said, I will swear. 25: And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. 26: And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day. 27: And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. 28: And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 29: And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 30: And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. 31: Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them. 32: Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

-Caveat Lector- http://sf.indymedia.org/display.php?id=100562#100564 Jim by nessie May 15 2001, Tue, 10:56am Jim Squatter Jim Squatter is an anarchist. He's not a typical anarchist, but then, which of us is? Though not a pacifist, Jim is an avid, ardent peace monger. Mongering peace takes up much of Jim's life as, he would say, it should yours. He would say, too, for he's never one to bite his tongue about something important. On the contrary, Jim is a loudmouth. It makes him a thorn in the side of the state. I met Jim in the early eighties. He occupied abandoned buildings in San Francisco for a living then, which is how he copped the moniker. He wasn't alone in there. There was a regular tribe of them. Jim spent most of his time organizing the others. For American. squatters they had remarkable success, at least for a while. Alas, this isn't Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lima or Berlin. Squatting at all in San Francisco is no piece of cake. Organized squatting, out in the open, and in the cop's face, is a feat to be proud of. It earned him his reputation, some jail time, and not a few bruises. Jim is a pretty good organizer. I'm not sure where he learned how to do it, It probably wasn't in what he calls the Air Farce and for sure it was not in the nut house. Maybe he figured it out on his own. Maybe he's just a natural. He reads a lot, which must be of some help. Mostly, he just listens when other people talk. Jim really cares what you have to say. That's a whole lot of the organizing process, right there. In a meeting, he can be fairly charismatic. Out of a meeting, he's mostly just a guy from the block. That is, unless he's just thought of something you could be doing right now for The Cause. Then he turns on the charm. Jim can be quite charming, when he wants to be. It's very persuasive. Jim is also totally fearless. I lost track of how many times he's been arrested. Twice the SFPD took him out to Golden Gate Park, beat the living bejeezus out of him and left him there bleeding. The Santa Crux cops left him in a paddy wagon out in the sun for a couple of hours once with no water and a face full of mace (on the six o'clock news, no less). Jim doesn't quit. He once went after five skin heads, alone, up on Haight St. Lucky for them, they had a head start. He can cover my back any day of the week, a task I don't trust most folks to be able to handle. Money and secrets are safe in his hands. He's on a very short list, indeed. Indeed, I wish it was longer. Judi Bari driving to Jim's house when the terrorist's nail bomb went off under the front seat, maiming her for life, but not intimidating her in the least. She had just left David Kimnitzer's house, where she had spent the night. Two days earlier, after eighteen years with David, Stephanie Massey left him, and moved in with Jim. She's ten years Jim's senior, has been around more, and is much better educated. As near as I can tell, she's the best thing that ever happened to him. Aside from the education, which never hurts anyone, Stephanie is also just naturally smarter than hell. She knows what she's doing, or else she don't try. She, too, is totally fearless, a feat in itself for some one that short. She too, has a pretty loud mouth. Stephanie bought a house near downtown Oakland in a thoroughly mixed area. The previous owners had been driven out by the crack heads next door. Jim and Step still hadn't unpacked all their stuff when I came by and taped this interview. The crack heads were already making plans to move out. This was not of Jim and Stuffs doing. The crack heads had cooked in their own soup. The whole fed up neighborhood had organized against them before Jim and Step ever showed up. It can be done. You don't need the help of experienced organizers to organize. You can do it yourself. Do it today. That's what Jim would say. It is the truth. I copped a number on the corner. Jim and I blew about half. It tasted to me like Humboldt's finest. Jim thought it was from Mendocino. Half was clearly enough. We closed the front window, so as to be not overheard from the street. It's an old local custom. I flipped on the tape. Nessie: OK, so lets brainstorm this thing a while. Why was Judi at Seeds of Peace house the night before the bomb went off? Squatter: We had a meeting that, uh, we decided there was this series of meetings about one a month I think, maybe even one every two weeks, where we were going up the coast (I think the first one was in Arcata) then we went to . . . the next one was down in Laytonville. At one of these meetings we decided the next meeting was gonna be down in the Bay Area at Seeds house and it'll be pretty much the final, major meeting before the beginning of the whole she bang. Nessie: Redwood Summer? Squatter: Right. We had lots of business, and we y'know . . . this meeting . . . It was publicly known. It wasn't advertised, but anybody that wanted to know could know, pretty much. You come to a meeting and they

Two nights before, Stephanie Massey, David's partner of eighteen years, had left him for Jim. It was one of those weeks. A couple years later, David and I sat down to talk about it in depth. David has been around for a while. He was a Port Huron era SDSer. These days, he's a database programmer. Before that he was a private investigator. Before that he was managing editor at Ramparts Press. He trained as an anthropologist, but there's not a lot call for anthropologists. Judi Bari thinks he's a cop. I don't think he's a cop. Jim Squatter doesn't think he's a cop. Neither does Stephanie. David is built like a bear. He has a very nice den and seventeen roommates. We sat in the immense kitchen/dining-room complex, talking. Roommates wandered in and out, living their lives. Some displayed interest in our conversation. Others ignored us. Sometimes the clatter of dishes drowned out a word or two. We were passing a joint and telling Stephanie stories when I remembered to turn on the tape recorder. David: At one point we were walking down this street in a high crime section of Oakland and we passed this biker's bar and out in front is this big pickup truck with a bumper sticker that said, Stop rape. Say yes. Stephanie walks into the bar . . . Roommate: Oh, good . . . Nessie: I can see that. I can see that real easy. David: . . . and says, Who's the asshole with the big blue truck out there!?! And I'm looking around. How many people am I gonna have to kill? Nessie: Yeah, right. David: (laughs loud, for a long time) . . . . and she was in this guy's face for ten minutes, man. Nessie: Well, you know, there's this thing about being short . . . Linda: Hey! She did right! Nessie: I didn't say she didn't. I'm saying she has an attitude. When you're short . . . David: I was just counting how many I was gonna have to kill, Linda, I was not leaving. Roommate: I'm not saying that, I . . . David: I've always admired her fearlessness. Nessie: She's short and she knows it. She knows that even if somebody tries to slug her, they're gonna hesitate for an instant while they hear their mommy's voice back up in their head somewhere say, Go pick on somebody your own size, And while they hesitate, she's got 'em. It's like wearing glasses. That half a second counts. David: Never happen. Nessie: Hey, I wouldn't mess with her. David: Short really has nothing to do with it, really. Nessie: I expect she'll explain that to me in great detail. David: I'm sure. We all have some understanding of it. Lisa once had to write a character sketch of one of her parents for one of her courses and she did it about her mother. The title of it is, The Eleven Foot Tall Woman. Nessie: (laughs a long time) I can see that. David: Trust me. Short has nothing to do with it. (laughs) Short has something to do with Jim. Nessie: Jim's not so short. David: Jim's pretty small. Jim's not much bigger than Stephanie. Nessie: I never noticed. He seems bigger. It must be his persona. David: In one of those first base camps up there in Redwood Summer, some guy came in brandishing a knife. So Jim starts facing the guy off . . . and talking him down. Stephanie picks up a big rock and inches around behind him. And Jim is utterly surprised at this and latter he mentioned something about this and I said, like, hey, what do you want. Nessie: Jim gets that way sometimes himself. He went after a half a dozen skinheads by himself up on Haight St. once. Chased them up the street. They were running hard, too. Pretty soon he had 'em cornered in this pizza place. And in the back of this pizza place was this large Jewish biker, named Marco (well really it's Marty), and he did not like these guys. They used to goose step in front of the place, and it's his place (he owns it), and Jews don't like that kinda shit, y'know. He happened to be in the back of the place when Jim came in the front so they were sorta sandwiched in between them . . . Marco . . . Marco's Pizza, where Cybele's is now. It was over before I caught up. I can't run like I used to. David: I used to be like that. I used to go down to the Marine Corps and servicemen's bar and pick fights. Nessie: I got over that when I was young. David: (sheepishly) I was about nineteen when I . . . Nessie: (not very convincingly) Yeah, I was about, uh, er, something like that, uh, (mumble, mumble) . . . David: It's a dick thing. Nessie: Nah; it's an American thing. That's what we do here.

It also was said that if he were asked to approve a program to aid the homeless, he would veto it. These things were said because Ford has a generous manner but a conventional conservative ideology. In George W. Bush, as with Ford, the former masks the latter. In Bush's case, the buoyant demeanor of the locker room towel-snapper has long obscured an indifference to civil liberties. The proof of that is the adamant position he repeatedly took on the one civil liberties issue that dogged him as governor of Texas: the death penalty. He just didn't give a damn. Now, I grant you that in the conventional sense, capital punishment is not seen as a civil liberties issue. The Constitution permits it -- as it once did slavery. Yet nothing could be more heinous than the killing of an innocent person by the state -- or, in my view, a guilty person who was insane or immature at the time the crime was committed.

[CTRL] Terrorism's True Roots
November 27, 2001 Terrorism's True Roots by William F. Jasper The international terror network, including al-Qaeda, was created by Communists and their left-wing allies under the guise of "Islamic fundamentalism." Like the 38 other unsuspecting passengers and crew members who boarded United Airlines Flight 93 in Newark on September 11th, Jeremy Glick had no way of foreseeing the intense and deadly drama that was about to unfold. After suicide-hijackers commandeered the San Francisco-bound Boeing 757, passengers aboard the doomed jetliner planned a desperate counterattack and placed calls to their loved ones. Among those who phoned home was Jeremy Glick, one of the citizen heroes of Flight 93 who are believed to have taken on the terrorists, causing the fuel-laden jet to crash into a rural Pennsylvania field, instead of Washington, D.C., or some other populated target. Glick, 31, and the father of a three-month-old daughter, told his wife, Lyzbeth, that he and others planned to rush the hijackers, who had by that time already stabbed one passenger to death. Mrs. Glick said that Jeremy told her that the knife-wielding hijackers, who claimed to have a bomb, were "three Arab-looking men with red headbands." Red headbands? Those are the trademark of the Islamic Jihad terrorists, who are backed by Iran and Russia. Like many of the so-called "Muslim extremist" groups, they are more "red" (Marxist-Leninist) than "green" (Islamic fundamentalist). The red headbands are but one of many clues screaming out to warn us that the Black Tuesday terror attack was not merely the work of twisted religious zealots, but of state sponsors using terrorist groups as proxy instruments of war to advance the ongoing world Communist revolution. Incredibly, it is some of those very same state sponsors who are being heralded as our newfound "allies": Russia, China, Iran, and Syria. Whats more, the same policy elites who have partnered us with these terror regimes in the name of fighting terrorism are pushing a similar course of reconciliation toward other unrepentant terror states such as Libya, Sudan, Cuba, and North Korea. Connections Coming to Light Many connections have already surfaced tying the deadliest terror attack in history to Saddam Hussein, one of Moscows chief clients and longstanding surrogates in the Middle East. On October 26th government officials of the Czech Republic confirmed that Mohamed Atta, a central figure in the suicide attack on the World Trade Center, had met at least once in Prague with Iraqi intelligence officer Ahmad Khalil Ibrahim Samir Al-Ani. Mohamed Atta, an Egyptian "student" in Germany, is believed to have been one of the terrorist cell leaders aboard American Airlines Flight 11, one of the planes that was hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center. The Atta-Iraq-Czech connection is especially noteworthy on at least two levels. First, in providing evidence of likely Iraqi involvement in the crime, it also necessarily implicates Russia. Saddam Hussein is dependent upon Russia for military hardware and expertise and would not undertake a move so radical as perpetrating the Black Tuesday assault without Moscows blessing. As Christopher Story, editor and publisher of the authoritative Soviet Analyst, has noted, it should be recalled that Husseins 1990 invasion of Kuwait was carried out "under the direction and guidance of a huge contingent of Soviet advisers headed by General Makashev." However, Story continued, the Soviets then astonished observers "by suddenly reversing themselves and appearing to condone the American-led Gulf War response, and standing on the sidelines." "They are doing exactly the same today," Story observed, in the wake of September 11th, "falling all over themselves to express unqualified abhorrence of terrorism in all its forms, notwithstanding that it is the Kremlin which has masterminded the scourge of global terrorism." Russias support for the terrorism scourge has increased since Black Tuesday. On September 30th Kyodo News of Japan reported: "Iraq and Russia have signed a package deal covering more than 70 projects to be implemented by Russian firms at a cost of about $40 billion, the official Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported Sunday." Those projects, no doubt, will include continued Russian assistance for Saddams CBN (Chemical, Biological, Nuclear) weapons programs and missile delivery systems. On another level, Mohamed Attas Prague rendezvous points to the continuation of the longstanding Soviet-Czech terror apparatus. During the 1960s, Prague became a major center of terrorist training, supply, and coordination, under direction of Czech intelligence, which was completely subservient to the Soviet KGB. Soviet Analyst has noted that Prague is "the headquarters of Soviet Military Intelligence (GRU) in Central Europe," and that the Czech Interior Ministry and the intelligence
[CTRL] THE EARTHSHIP
-Caveat Lector- http://www.slip.net/~ckent/earthship/ A sustainable house, made of recycled materials, continues to push boundaries and win new adherents. THE EARTHSHIP In mid-September Hurricane Marilyn roared through the Caribbean, destroying a quarter of the homes on St. Thomas, one of the U.S. Virgin islands. Full restoration of power took several months. Three thousand miles away, in Taos, New Mexico, Mike Reynolds, owner of Solar Survival Architecture, read the news and saw a demand for Earthships. An Earthship is a home design--utilizing recycled tires, aluminum cans and earth for construction materials--that Reynolds and his company have been building and perfecting for the last 25 years. It is self-sufficient, getting power from the sun, water from rain, and recycling its gray water and sewage. The Earthship would be perfect for a storm-beleaguered Caribbean Island, Reynolds figures. These buildings are so heavy, and built into the Earth, that they couldn't blow away. If Solar Survival could build one on the island as a demonstration project, people could start to construct Earthships on their own. But Reynolds realizes that the company doesn't have enough time and resources currently to take on the project. That's life in a small firm with a revolutionary product in growing demand. The problem is that we can't be everywhere, he says. But everywhere we look, it seems that what we are doing is what is needed. COMMUNITY PROGRESS Four years ago, Solar Survival was just starting a demonstration community of Earthships called Reach. Reach, which stands for Rural Earthship Alternative Community Habitat, now has 15 homes on 55 acres. Reach, located 15 miles northeast of Taos, was followed by two other developments that are under construction in the vicinity. One is called Star (Social Transformation Alternative Republic), located 16 miles west of Taos, about seven miles from a main road. Star has 20 homes built or under construction. The latest development, Greater World (no acronym) is situated nine miles west of town, on Route 64, with 15 homes built or under construction. Both developments have more than 600 acres, and are long-term projects. It is common for an Earthship to be built over a two or three year period, because the owners often use cash on hand and participate in construction Maximum build out for each development is about 100 homes, with hundreds of acres of open space preserved. Reynolds purchases all of the land in these membership communities, selling off the right to build. The residents own their home and the immediate land on which the building is situated. They have a right to sell the home, but not the surrounding land. That belongs to Reynolds, and later, the community will own it. Solar Survival lays down the only major public infrastructure--dirt roads. I run the community for five to seven years to get it established, and then roll it over to the residents, he says. Then, the community will be managed like a condominium association. Solar Survival has built two rental Earthships at Greater World and one has been reserved for rental use at Reach. These are available to people building homes--or those who would like to find out what it is like to live in one before making the commitment. The company is planning more. They are booked up--we don't have enough of the rental units built, he says. PRIVATE PROJECTS In addition to the membership communities, there are some private subdivisions in the works--one outside San Diego, California, and another near Rico, Colorado--that will be based on the Earthship. News has spread about Solar Survival designs. especially since 1990, when the term Earthship was coined. In Bend, Oregon, an Earthship won a reuse and waste prevention award from the Association of Oregon Recyclers in September, 1995. Homes have been built throughout the U.S. and also in Canada, Mexico, Bolivia and Japan. There is strong interest in the concept in New Zealand and Australia, and the company is currently negotiating to construct one for an upcoming world's fair in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1998. The company keeps track of Earthships that have been built or are under construction, and 300 are on the database. That list is likely not complete, because some are built independently, straight from the book. The designs range from a simple 1,000 sq.ft. unit to a million dollar mansion built by actor Dennis Weaver in Ridgway, Colorado. INSPECTORS AND PERMITS Although the popularity of Earthships is rising, they are still a novel concept to most public officials. The first Earthship builder in a region or county has to take the role of pioneer, educating building inspectors, planners and zoning boards. When Solar Survival sells architectural plans to a prospective homebuilder, the company generally has to help them through the permitting process, Reynolds says. It generally takes persistence, and a lot of time. The company's library of engineering reports,
[CTRL] History of Solar Energy
-Caveat Lector- http://www.solarenergy.com/ History of Solar Energy Revisiting Solar Power's Past By Charles Smith Home Location: - Technology Review: July 95: Solar Power Inventors unlocked the secrets of turning the sun's rays into mechanical power more than a century ago, only to see their dream machines collapse from lack of public support. Modern solar engineers must not be doomed to relive their fate. Charles Smith is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Technology at Appalachian State University, and a doctoral candidate in the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. His primary area of research is the history of energy. Many of us assume that the nation's first serious push to develop renewable fuels was spawned while angry Americans waited in gas lines during the energy crisis of the 1970s. Held hostage by the OPEC oil embargo, the country suddenly seemed receptive to warnings from scientists, environmentalists, and even a few politicians to end its over-reliance on finite coal and oil reserves or face severe economic distress and political upheaval. But efforts to design and construct devices for supplying renewable energy actually began some 100 years before that turbulent time--ironically, at the very height of the Industrial Revolution, which was largely founded on the promise of seemingly inexhaustible supplies of fossil fuels. Contrary to the prevailing opinion of the day, a number of engineers questioned the practice of an industrial economy based on nonrenewable energy and worried about what the world's nations would do after exhausting the fuel supply. More important, many of these visionaries did not just provide futuristic rhetoric but actively explored almost all the renewable energy options familiar today. In the end, most decided to focus on solar power, reasoning that the potential rewards outweighed the technical barriers. In less than 50 years, these pioneers developed an impressive array of innovative techniques for capturing solar radiation and using it to produce the steam that powered the machines of that era. In fact, just before World War I, they had outlined all of the solar thermal conversion methods now being considered. Unfortunately, despite their technical successes and innovative designs, their work was largely forgotten for the next 50 years in the rush to develop fossil fuels for an energy-hungry world. Now, a century later, history is repeating itself. After following the same path as the early inventors--in some cases reinventing the same techniques--contemporary solar engineers have arrived at the same conclusion: solar power is not only possible but eminently practical, not to mention more environmentally friendly. Alas, once again, just as the technology has proven itself from a practical standpoint, public support for further development and implementation is eroding, and solar power could yet again be eclipsed by conventional energy technologies. The First Solar Motor The earliest known record of the direct conversion of solar radiation into mechanical power belongs to Auguste Mouchout, a mathematics instructor at the Lyce de Tours. Mouchout began his solar work in 1860 after expressing grave concerns about his country's dependence on coal. It would be prudent and wise not to fall asleep regarding this quasi-security, he wrote. Eventually industry will no longer find in Europe the resources to satisfy its prodigious expansion. Coal will undoubtedly be used up. What will industry do then? By the following year he was granted the first patent for a motor running on solar power and continued to improve his design until about 1880. During this period the inventor laid the foundation for our modern understanding of converting solar radiation into mechanical steam power. Mouchout's initial experiments involved a glass-enclosed iron cauldron: incoming solar radiation passed through the glass cover, and the trapped rays transmitted heat to the water. While this simple arrangement boiled water, it was of little practical value because the quantities and pressures of steam it produced were minimal. However, Mouchout soon discovered that by adding a reflector to concentrate additional radiation onto the cauldron, he could generate more steam. In late 1865, he succeeded in using his apparatus to operate a small, conventional steam engine. By the following summer, Mouchout displayed his solar motor to Emperor Napoleon III in Paris. The monarch, favorably impressed, offered financial assistance for developing an industrial solar motor for France. With the newly acquired funds, Mouchout enlarged his invention's capacity, refined the reflector, redesigning it as a truncated cone, like a dish with slanted sides, to more accurately focus the sun's rays on the boiler. Mouchout also constructed a tracking mechanism that enabled the entire machine to follow the sun's altitude and azimuth, providing uninterrupted
[CTRL] U.S. Financed Islamic Extremists
November 27, 2001 Islamic Extremists: U.S.-Financed, Enflamed, Seeking Revenge by William F. Jasper On August 27th, Reuters published excerpts of an interview Osama bin Laden had given to the French daily newspaper France Soir in 1995. In it he explained how U.S. and Pakistani officers had trained the volunteers he had recruited at his base in Pakistan to fight the Soviet invaders in Afghanistan. "I created my first [military] camps, where these volunteers underwent training led by Pakistani and American officers," the Saudi exile said. "The arms were supplied by the Americans and the money by the Saudis Our objective was the Islamic Revolution, no matter who our allies were American objectives were not to play a major role." Bin Laden, a complete unknown to most Americans a few months ago, is now recognized by most as one of our countrys deadliest adversaries. He has issued a fatwa calling on other Muslims to kill Americans as their religious duty. Circumstantial evidence links him to a number of major terrorist acts and plots in the past few years. Building the Monster It is common for liberal-left commentators to cite bin Ladens virulently anti-American terrorist network, and the equally radical Taliban regime in Kabul which supports him, as examples of "blowback" unintended negative fallout from U.S. covert operations. According to this analysis, it was our irrational, anti-communist impulse as implemented by the "Cold War-mentality" in the CIA which is responsible for our present terrorism predicament. Because of our hysterical aversion to communism, goes the line, we are now faced with "Islamic fundamentalism," the new global threat we must prepare to battle. Leading this chorus are the same Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) operatives in government and the media who have done the most to make the "Islamic threat" a self-fulfilling prophecy. Some of the loudest voices declaiming against the scourge of "militant" and "fundamentalist" Islam belong to the very strategists who are most responsible for the policies and actions (both past and present) that have built the most fanatical, anti-American "Islamic fundamentalist" regimes and organizations in the world today. These regimes and organizations are serving a hidden though increasingly visible purpose. Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Algeria, Sudan, the Muslim Brotherhood, Taliban, and a host of others in the extremist camp have been built into menacing perils to, among other things, justify the transformation of the UNs blue helmets into global gendarmes capable of enforcing UN dictates on all peoples and nations. Iran was the first major victim in this scheme. Iran under Shah Reza Pahlavi was the Wests strongest ally in the region and a force for moderation, modernization, and advancement of human rights. But to President Jimmy Carter and the CFR cabal who ran his Administration, Iran was to be the starting domino in a chain reaction designed to usher in the new world order. Khomeinis "fundamentalists" didnt overthrow the Shah, as the media mythmakers would have you believe; Carter and company did that. While the Establishment media cartel smeared the Shah as a latter-day Hitler, the Carter Administration pulled every deception and dirty trick imaginable to undermine the Pahlavi rule. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Andrew Young (CFR) added to the media image of Ayatollah Khomeini (then in exile) as a great holy man, declaring that "he will be hailed as a saint" when he returns to Teheran. In the final act, General Alexander Haig (CFR) sent his deputy commander, General Robert Huyser, to warn the Iranian military against supporting their emperor. Saddam the "Savior" No sooner was the U.S.-led Iranian coup completed than the CFR brain trust in our foreign policy establishment cited "balance-of-power" imperatives to justify pouring hundreds of millions (and then billions) of dollars of aid, technology, and military assistance into Saddam Husseins Iraq. The CFR double-domes in the Reagan and Bush Administrations assured us that Saddam would be our protection against the Khomeini strain of virulent Islam. During the eight-year Iran-Iraq War, Washington sold weapons to both sides, but clearly "tilted" toward Iraq. When the shooting started in Operation Desert Storm, President Bushs CFR coterie had us bedding down with Assad of Syria, Saddams rival for the title of "Maximum Terrorist Leader." The bombing of New York Citys World Trade Center signaled the rise of a new terrorist center Kabul, Afghanistan. The Arab bombers in the case, who were tied to Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman, received their training during the Afghan War from mujahedeen groups trained and supplied by the CIA. The Sheik has been closely allied with Gulbaddin Hekmatyar, leader of one of the most radical anti-American elements of the Afghan mujahedeen, and the one most favored by U.S.

The two firms, Somalia Internet Company and al-Barakaat, both appear on a US list of organisations accused of funnelling money to the al-Qaeda network. Both companies have stated categorically they they are not linked to terrorists. The US believes the two companies also support Bin Laden I would say it is very depressing and if I could find any stronger word than that I would say it - BBC correspondent Hassan Barise Along with denying all internet access to Somalis, the closures have severely restricted international telephone lines and shut down vitally needed money transfer facilities. Correspondents say the closure of the companies will have a devastating effect on the country, which desperately needs the services they provide. Desperation The BBC's Hassan Barise in Mogadishu said more than 80% of Somalis depend on money they receive from relatives outside the country. Thousands of Somalis depend on al-Barakaat's services He said all internet cafes have now shut down and international phone lines run by two other companies are failing to cope with the extra pressure of calls. He also pointed out that the United Nations, local and international aid agencies, as well as the government itself all relied heavily on internet access, now denied. I would say it is very depressing and if I could find any stronger word than that I would say it, he said. He added the impact would be felt even more strongly because the cuts have come during the holy month of Ramadan. Shutdown On 7 November, the Bush administration released the list of 62 organisations and individuals accused of financial links with Osama Bin Laden. Reports say the Somali Internet Company was forced to close when it realised that its international gateway had been cut off. The international phone service is suffering Al-Barakaat, Somalia's largest company with interests in telecommunications, banking and postal services, closed its financial businesses after its assets were frozen. Its international telephone service was then shut down when its international gateway - run jointly by ATT and British Telecom - was also cut off. The company, which has 600 shareholders, is the largest employer in Somalia. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Somalis depend on it to transfer money throughout the world. Somalis living abroad use it to send money to their relatives back home as there are no other banking systems in Somalia since the downfall of the Siad Barre regime in 1991. Somalia's prime minister has issued a decree appointing a special committee to investigate al-Barakaat, as well as all other remittance companies. * THERE ARE OVER 5,000 SOMALIS LIVING IN BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS All of whom were greatly effected with the move to shut down al Barakkat in Boston's Black Community of Dorchester.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.radix.net/~jcturner/980106-Fifth-Estate.htm This week on the fifth estate -- The Sleep Room [January 6, 1998] When Canadians first learned that CIA brainwashing experiments had been carried out on Canadians... in Canada... with the knowledge of our government, it was tremendous shock. As the fifth estate was first to report in 1980, the work that Dr. Ewan Cameron oversaw at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal was shocking. Now, the story of Cameron's experiments and the victims' struggle for justice have been made into a riveting movie, to be broadcast on CBC Television this Sunday and Monday nights. For the victims of The Sleep Room, the horror has never really ended. --- VELMA ORLIKOW (patient of Dr. Ewen Cameron): The man who I had thought cared about what happened to me didn't give a damn. I was a fly, just a fly. VOICE-OVER ANNOUNCER: Revisiting Canada's infamous Sleep Room. LINDA MACDONALD (patient of Dr. Ewen Cameron): I was...had to be toilet-trained. I was a vegetable. VOICE-OVER ANNOUNCER: In the 1960s, Dr. Ewen Cameron conducted CIA-funded experiments on troubled Canadian patients he was meant to help. ROBERT LOGIE (former patient of Dr. Ewen Cameron): It wasn't treatment for anything. It was out and out guinea pigs for brainwashing experiments. VOICE-OVER ANNOUNCER: A fifth estate investigation revealed how one Canadian government secretly supported these horrific experiments, and then another blocked the victims' fight for justice. JAMES TURNER (lawyer): The Mulroney government, in effect, stabbed its citizens in the back at every turn. VOICE-OVER ANNOUNCER: Linden MacIntyre with the real-life victims of the Sleep Room, and, behind the scenes of a new CBC movie about this nightmare chapter in our history. * * * * * VOICE-OVER ANNOUNCER: The fifth estate with Trish Wood, Victor Malarek, Francine Pelletier, and tonight Linden MacIntyre. LINDEN MACINTYRE: Welcome to the fifth estate. When Canadians first learned that CIA brainwashing experiments had been carried out on Canadians in Canada, with the knowledge of our government, it was a tremendous shock. As the fifth estate was first to report in 1984, the work that Dr. Ewen Cameron oversaw at his Montreal clinic was shocking. Now the story of Cameron's experiments and the victims' struggle for justice have been made into a riveting movie, to be broadcast on CBC television this Sunday and Monday nights. For the victims of the Sleep Room, the horror has never really ended. Even if you don't know the history of the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal, it looks like a natural setting for a movie, a horror movie maybe. But then, the truth about what happened to hundreds of psychiatric patients there a long time ago is a horror story. And now it has become a movie, a dramatized account of a bleak chapter in the history of Canadian psychiatry, produced by a former fifth estate documentary maker, Bernard Zuckerman. The central character in the TV movie is a world-renowned psychiatrist at the Allan in the early sixties. His name was Dr. Ewen Cameron. BERNARD ZUCKERMAN (producer, The Sleep Room): It's the classic story of good turning to evil in its most simplistic terms. Dr. Cameron started off as someone who was probably one of the most enlightened psychiatrists in the country, but then something happened. And whatever happened, suddenly here is this enlightened doctor, this noble doctor, who begins doing more and more and more bizarre experiments on his patients, to the point where he is destroying the minds of hundreds of people. DR. EWEN CAMERON (clip): These are the days and hours of the MACINTYRE: Inspired by the exuberant post-war optimism in technology, Cameron thought he'd achieved a major scientific breakthrough: how to repair a damaged human mind. The media rejoiced, even coined a phrase which would become a tragically silly oxymoron: beneficial brainwashing. Linda MacDonald was a young mother with five children under the age of five when she started feeling low. Her family doctor knew just the man to make her better. LINDA MACDONALD (former patient of Dr. Ewen Cameron): I was tired, I was depressed, my back was hurting, and so he said to the children's father, Why don't you go to Montreal and visit this Dr. Ewen Cameron, this famous man, who has all of these accolades, and have an assessment? So we went. My medical file even says that I took my guitar with me. And that was the end of my life. Within three weeks Dr. Cameron decided to call me an acute schizophrenic, and ship me up to the sleep room. MACINTYRE: How long did they put you to sleep for? MACDONALD: I was in a coma for 86 days. MACINTYRE: Eighty-six days of unbroken sleep. MACDONALD: Eighty-six...comatose, yeah, total comatose state. MACINTYRE: The theory was simple: erase a disturbed mind and start all over again. One of Dr. Cameron's colleagues at the time was

-Caveat Lector- From http://www.counterpunch.org/hpotter1.html }}}Begin November 24, 2001 Harry Potter and Terror's Networks By Alexander Cockburn It won't be long, most likely, before Osama's body is on display and an end written to his chapter in the unfinished saga of Empire v. Terror. How appropriate that this last week millions of children here in the US, (the most implacable critics of all), were watching Harry Potter's battle with Quirrell and the arch villain Voldemort, the traductive or etymological roots of whose name, flight of death or alternately death wish have appropriately bin-Ladian echoes. Voldemort murdered Harry's parents and how sharp a reverberation Harry's battle with Voldemort must have with those children in the New York area who lost a mother or a father on September 11; how uncomforting headmaster Dumbledore's subsequent remark to Harry that to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. One of the big scenes in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the chess battle with the forces of darkness, where, as a knight, Ron sacrifices himself to the white queen, in a scene crisply described by J.K. Rowling: She struck Ron hard across the head with hr stone arm, and he crashed to the floor Ron's sacrifice allows Harry and Hermione to cross the board safely. Chess comes out of Islam, originally invented in India somewhere in the seventh century. Early Muslim writers often contrasted chess, a game symbolising the exercise of free will and rationality, with backgammon, emblem of the caprices of the dice and of fate. In the bluff, lottery-loving West chess is iconically regarded as the province of brainy villains. In this style bin Laden was billed as Terror's grand master, with the world as his chess board. In the death games played by adults children are always the pawns. We play poker, they play chess used to be a favored phrase of President Kennedy, the notion being that the Communist enemy in all his Oriental cunning, had a strategy thoroughly conceived and inherently rational: move would be countered by move, with uncertainty and chance eliminated. We, on the other hand, play poker. We gamble and bluff. Living chess has always fascinated people, the notion of absolute power in the disposition of men and women; also the idea that a wrong move can cause death. During the Spanish Inquisition a Dominican Inquisitor called Pedro Arbues ordered unfortunate victims of persecution to stand in as figures in a game of living chess played by two blind monks. Each time they captured a piece they condemned someone to death. Chess is mostly used in films to indicate thought, problems, villainy or Nemesis. The Ayatollah Khomeini banned chess in Iran on the grounds that it excessively fatigues the brain. In the Pali Dialogues of the Buddha, from the fifth century before Christ, (as edited by Rhys Davies in Sacred Books of the Buddha, 1899) the Buddha enumerates the trifles that occupy the thoughts of the unconverted man. 1. Games on boards with eight or ten rows or squares. 2.The same games played by imagining such boards in the air. 3. Keeping going over diagrams drawn on the ground, so that one steps only where one ought to go. 4. Either removing the pieces of men from a heap with one's nail, or putting them in a heap, in each case without shaking it. He who shakes the heap loses. 5.Throwing a dice. 6. Hitting a short stick with a long one. 7. Dipping the hand with the long finger stretched out in lac or dye or flour water and striking the wet hand on the ground or on a wall, calling out 'What shall it be?' and showing the form required, elephants, horses etc. 8 Games with balls. 9. Blowing thin toy pipes made with leaves. 10. Playing with toy plows. 11. Turning summersaults. 12. Playing with toy windmills made with leaves. 13. Playing with toy measures. 14 Playing with toy carts 15. Playing with toy bows. 16. Guessing at letters traced in the air or on a fellow's back. 17. Guessing a playfellow's thoughts. 18. Mimicking of deformities. Guatama the recluse holds aloof from such games and recreations. Contrary to the Buddha's views, kids played those games 2,500 years ago and many of them today. There will always be the studious kid with a chess board and the gambler and the group laughing at the little boy with the gimp leg. In Harry Potter's season and this weekend our thoughts here at CounterPunch are with all those children around New York, around Kabul, the world over, who know all too well terror and Voldemort's chill breath.

[CTRL] The Mafia, CIA and George Bush
-Caveat Lector- http://www.webcom.com/%7epinknoiz/covert/brewton.html Excerpt from The Mafia, CIA and George Bush by Pete Brewton SPI Books, NY 1992 ISBN 1-56171-203-5 pp.209-210 224-227 [Rupp is the purported October Surprise pilot that Richard Brenneke was trying to defend, when his testimony got him in trouble.] When Rupp was in Leavenworth Prison he wrote a letter to President Bush dated August 1, 1989, to which he attached a copy of his membership card in the Association of Former Intelligence Offcers. The letter contains several blatant factual errors. For example, he stated, My Agency tenure began in 1957 with the OSS. The OSS was disbanded after World War II. He also stated in the letter that he had investigated the Imhausen/Libya affair and its connection with Ghorbanifar's I.B.I. in Frankfurt. In fact, I.B.I. was controlled by a man named Barbouti, not the Iranian middle man Ghorbanifar. Rupp closed his letter thusly: For the protection of this country and the ideals which I have been sworn to uphold, my lips have been and will be sealed, and I remain, Yours in Faithful Service, Heinrich F. Rupp, Scorpio 688. Just your typical CIA contract agent. Global was also named as a CIA front by a retired CIA Middle East expert. In December 1990, Bruce Hemmings, a retired CIA senior operations offcer who worked on the Iran desk in 1985, issued several written statements criticizing the CIA's role and cover-up in the Iran-Contra scandal and other misdeeds. In part of his statement entitled CIA Gun Running to Iran Goes Back to 1981, Hemmings stated: Since at least 1981, a worldwide network of 'free-standing' [i.e., no direct U.S. government ties] companies, including airlines, aviation and military spare parts suppliers, and trading companies, has been utilized by the CIA and the U.S. government to illegally ship arms and military spare parts to Iran and to the Contras. These companies were set up with the approval and knowledge of senior CIA offcials and other senior U.S. government officials and staffed primarily by ex-CIA, ex-FBI and ex-military offcers. The companies include Aero Systems, Inc., of Miami, Arrow Air, Aero Systems Pvt. Ltd of Singapore, Hierax of Hong Kong, Pan Aviation in Miami, Merex in North Carolina, Sur International, St. Lucia Airways, Global International Airways, International Air Tours of Nigeria, Continental Shelf Explorations, Inc., Jupiter, Florida, Varicon, Inc., Dane Aviation Supply of Miami, and others, such as Parvus, Safir, International Trading and Investment Guaranty Corp., Ltd., and Information Security International Inc. Through these mechanisms, staffed by ex-intelligence and military officers, the administration and the CIA have been able to circumvent and ignore the legal intelligence mechanisms and Congressional oversight. C-130, F4, TOWs and Hawk missile parts were shipped to Iran in violation of the arms embargo and a variety of mechanisms were used, including International Air Tours of Nigeria in August and September 1985, Arrow Air in November 1985, and Global International and Pan Aviation and others going back in 1981. In another document, entitled Corruption Within CIA: A Cast of Characters, Hemmings severely criticizes Thomas Twetten, the deputy director of operations for the CIA and Hemmings's former boss. In one section Hemmings discusses weapons sales to Iran and how Twetten deliberately undermined the case of a foreign official who had information on such sales by turning the matter over to the British: Twetten's decision and that of London station is highly suspect ancl negligent, as they knew, as I did, that the British government was, along with the British arms industry, Tiny Rowland, Ashraf Marwan and Adnan Khashoggi, his partner, deeply involved in such trafficking. Obviously, Twetten also knew that North, Shackley, Clines, Hakim, Robert Sensi, and Cyrus Hashemi, and Farhad Azima were also involved in such trafficking, as all these individuals were part of the same network; as him. Hemmings, who won the CIA's intelligence commendation medallion in 1985, is extremely bitter about the way he was treated by the CIA in its attempts to cover up its role in Iran-Contra. In his position on the Iran desk in Washington, Hemmings became aware of the senior CIA officials' role in the secret arms-for-hostages transaction with Iran and the subsequent cover up by the CIA. His knowledge of this came up in April 1987 during the confirmation hearings for William Webster as Director of Central Intelligence. Hemmings was ordered by his superiors to prepare a memo on what he knew, but to leave out certain things. My refusal to alter my testimony to fit the cover story then, and later in 1989 as a Senate witness, brought me under intense pressure to remain silent or else!! Death, unemployment and loss of access to my children were all used as weapons and threats, Hemmings wrote in a December 1990 statement mailed to me. All of Azima's wheeling and

Re: [CTRL] Library Can't Get Barry the Boys
-Caveat Lector- I asked my local library to purchase a copy of Daniel Hopsicker's book, Barry the Boys. The book isn't available anywhere in the statewide system they use, so it's not available for inter-library loan. I don't know if everyone is aware that you can request that your local library to make specific purchases. They will take all requests into consideration, and I've had good luck with this in the past. They called me today and said they approved the purchase and tried to put the order through but that the company canceled the request and the book is not available for ordering. I find this plenty strange because the book is available from amazon.com for crying out loud, so how can a public library not get it? I trust that the library tried, and I don't think they're lying to me or anything. I don't know enough about the book-ordering process to know where they might have hit a snag. But I am suspicious that there would be any snags to hit. It's a hot book, which is why I wanted them to buy it. I wanted it to be available for local consumption for anyone who might do a search on CIA or any number of keywords. I've heard of book snags before - like deliberately messed-up ISBN #'s making ordering nearly impossible. More than once I've seen hot books listed in public library catalogs but not on the shelves or anywhere to be found. I figured they have mini-goons going around stealing them - anything to make it difficult for the public to find the info. The last book I recall this happening with was Judith Spencer's Satan's High Priest. It was an excellent book, by the way - a very insightful inside view of a satanic cult, with important insights into the psychology of perpetrators. I could see why mini-goons might want to steal it.

Re: [CTRL] ARMIES OF REPRESSION
-Caveat Lector- Correct Answer: C. (Jesus struck them dead) But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? . . . And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. . . . Then fell [Sapphira] straightway at [Peter's] feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. Acts 5:1-10. The acts of the Apostles were not necessarily actions of which Christ would have approved. He certainly reproved them for things they did when he was present and leading them. Prudy the implication is that jesus, not peter, smote them dead from heaven; it probably never happened and if did then it probably *was* peter but it's still written there as if it was done by christ. christianity started off as a cult like any other today - give up all your money to The Leader in order to become one of the special ones. jesus said many things that show a tremendous amount of wisdom but also quite a few things that were almost fascistic in nature. unfortunately, it's virtually impossible to decide what he really did say and what was later attributed to him by various revisionists attempting to make people follow the rules - the greeks and romans had alterior motives and the early christians were certainly not neutral. the entire old testament is the story of an angry, vengeful god spying on people like the cia and removing them from the gene pool at the smallest insignificant faults. a large chunk of the new testament is people warning that the same god is coming back to perform mass genocide on all those that did not follow the rules. therefore breaking his promise to noah i might add.and it is capped off with a story of these events actually occurring. this is supposed to be a good thing. praise the lord! to argue that the jewish, and therefore christian and muslim, god is not a hideously vengeful fascist would be very difficult on your part and i don't suggest you try doing it.. really, take a look at those links i sent. the koran is even worse than the bible for this kind of stuff.. inri np: http://chat.carleton.ca/~jparent2/ If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator. - george w. bush A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] A LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM THE RICH
-Caveat Lector- http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/9470/rich.html A LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM THE RICH Lets be honest: youll never win the lottery. On the other hand, chances are pretty high that youll slave away at some shitty job the rest of your life. Thats because in all likelihood you were born into the wrong social class. Lets face it youre a member of the WORKING CASTE. As a result, you dont have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, youd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. Thats why were so relieved that you continue to believe the silly old fairy tale about justice and equal opportunity in America. Of course, in a hierarchical system like ours, theres not much room at the top to begin with. And anyway, its already occupied by us (in fact we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way). But at least theres usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can find some poor slob even lower than he to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for poor Blacks, migrant workers, prostitutes and homeless street people. Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill those boring, dangerous shit jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars or blindly follow orders in our corporate armies. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work! Plus, you probably dont have the same vicious, greedy, compulsive drive to acquire and possess wealth, power and prestige that we have. And even though you sincerely desire freedom, you also fear freedom, keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo. So you mechanically go through life playing your assigned social role, terrified of what others would think should you ever dare to break out of the mold. Naturally we play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: skilled workers against unskilled, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against We continually keep your wages low by invoking foreign competition, the law of supply and demand, or national security. We throw you into the unemployed if you step out of line or jeopardize our profits. We even let you vote for one of our political surrogates every now and then. Happily, you havent a clue as to whats really happening instead you blame Blacks, Jews, Welfare Mothers, Queers (everybody except us) for your troubled situation. Not only that, you still embrace the work ethic, even though most jobs in our economy undermine your health, poison the environment, and suck your one and only life out of you. We dont know much about work, but were sure glad that you do. Of course life could be different. Society could be organized to meet the real needs of the general population. You could control your own activity and not be someone elses pawn. But you dont know that. You cant even imagine it. In fact, thats probably the greatest accomplishment of our system: robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability to think for yourself. So wed truly like to thank you from the bottom of our heartless hearts. Its obedient wage slaves like you that help make our lives so pleasant. Your loyal sacrifice makes possible our corrupt luxury; your work makes our system work. So once again, thanks for knowing your place without even knowing it. $igned, Rich $cum of America = ~~~ http://www.infiltration.org http://www.darkpassage.com http://www.mattoledefense.org/alerts/08192001_video.html http://sf.indymedia.org/display.php?id=100562#100565 http://www.aches-mc.org/prison.html#PRISON%20EXPERIMENTS%20HAUNT http://www.webcom.com/%7epinknoiz/covert/seberg.html __ Do You Yahoo!?

[CTRL] Fwd: America's next targets: Somalia, Sudan and Yemen (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Yardbird [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: US targets three more countries JAMES CLARK, NICK FIELDING AND TONY ALLEN-MILLS, WASHINGTON http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/article/0,,9002-2001544397,00.html THE war on terrorism is to be extended to three new countries as soon as the campaign in Afghanistan is over. Targets linked to Osama Bin Laden in Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be at the top of the hit list, according to senior sources in London and Washington. Tony Blair and President George W Bush have agreed that the momentum created by the anti-terror coalition's successes must be maintained with swift action elsewhere. We have the wind at our backs and we don't want to lose it, said a senior Washington source. Preparations are under way in all three countries. Intelligence officers from both Britain and America have been on the ground to gather information about terrorists and ascertain their links with Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda organisation. MI6, the British secret intelligence service, has played a leading role. Security sources emphasised their expertise and indicated that Humint intelligence from human sources was proving critical. The British and their CIA counterparts have been assembling evidence to be used as the basis for stiletto attacks on Bin Laden's associates and terrorist training camps. Military preparations have also begun, though plans to strike specific targets have not yet been finalised. The first targets, according to British sources, could be hit as early as late January if the war in Afghanistan is nearing its final stages by then. Yemen, where 17 American sailors died in a suicide bomb attack on the USS Cole at Aden last year, is considered the country most likely to feel Washington's wrath. Al-Qaeda supporters, including many Afghan veterans, have established bases in the northern mountains, where they run training camps. The targets may include Aden Islamic Army camps identified by eight British fundamentalists who were convicted in Yemen over their part in a terrorist campaign that including the kidnapping and killing of four tourists in 1998. American officials hope to secure the co-operation of the Yemeni president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who visits Washington this week. In Sudan, where Bin Laden lived until 1996, the Bush administration is expected to pursue followers of Hassan al-Turabi, a former parliamentary speaker now under house arrest. Al-Turabi, whose niece is married to Bin Laden, gave him sanctuary for five years. Possible targets in Somalia include the Al-Itihaad group, which has been linked to Bin Laden through Muhammad Atef, his deputy, who was killed by an American missile in Afghanistan. The plans to widen the war emerged as it was disclosed that two British special force soldiers were shot and wounded in the hunt for Bin Laden. SAS and Special Boat Squadron troopers have been involved in skirmishes in several areas, most recently near the Taliban's southern stronghold of Kandahar. The campaign in northern Afghanistan appeared to be reaching its climax yesterday as Arab supporters of Bin Laden prepared for a last stand in Konduz, despite being deserted by hundreds of Taliban fighters who switched sides to join the Northern Alliance laying siege to the city. Officials believe that extending the campaign to Sudan, Somalia and Yemen will keep Al-Qaeda on the run. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said last night: We are focused on Afghanistan. However, this is part of a wider war on terror, wherever that may be, so it should not be a surprise to learn that military planning may be under way in other parts of the world. While we cannot confirm targets, the three countries mentioned have all been linked to terrorist activity. --- End forwarded message --- A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] The People of Afghanistan Do Not Accept Rule by Northern Alliance
-Caveat Lector- http://www.counterpunch.org/rawa1.html November 15, 2001 RAWA: The People of Afghanistan Do Not Accept Rule by Northern Alliance CounterPunch Wire Now it is confirmed that the Taliban have left Kabul and the Northern Alliance has entered the city. The world should understand that the Northern Alliance is composed of some bands who did show their real criminal and inhuman nature when they were ruling Afghanistan from 1992 to 1996. The retreat of the terrorist Taliban from Kabul is a positive development, but entering of the rapist and looter NA in the city is nothing but a dreadful and shocking news for about 2 million residents of Kabul whose wounds of the years 1992-96 have not healed yet. Thousands of people who fled Kabul during the past two months were saying that they feared coming to power of the NA in Kabul much more than being scared by the US bombing. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda will be eliminated, but the existence of the NA as a military force would shatter the joyful dream of the majority for an Afghanistan free from the odious chains of barbaric Taliban. The NA will horribly intensify the ethnic and religious conflicts and will never refrain to fan the fire of another brutal and endless civil war in order to retain in power. The terrible news of looting and inhuman massacre of the captured Taliban or their foreign accomplices in Mazar-e-Sharif in past few days speaks for itself. Though the NA has learned how to pose sometimes before the West as democratic and even supporter of women's rights, but in fact they have not at all changed, as a leopard cannot change its spots. RAWA has already documented heinous crimes of the NA. Time is running out. RAWA on its own part appeals to the UN and world community as a whole to pay urgent and considerable heed to the recent developments in our ill-fated Afghanistan before it is too late. We would like to emphatically ask the UN to send its effective peace-keeping force into the country before the NA can repeat the unforgettable crimes they committed in the said years. The UN should withdraw its recognition to the so-called Islamic government headed by Rabbani and help the establishment of a broad-based government based on the democratic values. RAWA's call stems from the aspirations of the vast majority of the people of Afghanistan. http://www.rawa.org = ~~~ http://www.infiltration.org http://www.darkpassage.com http://www.mattoledefense.org/alerts/08192001_video.html http://sf.indymedia.org/display.php?id=100562#100565 http://www.pieman.org/ http://www.webcom.com/%7epinknoiz/covert/seberg.html __ Do You Yahoo!?

[CTRL] Suffer Palestine's Children
-Caveat Lector- http://www.counterpunch.org/ November 27, 2001 Suffer Palestine's Children By Sunil K. Sharma Early in the morning of November 22, five Palestinian children were blown to pieces by an Israeli mine or bomb as they headed to school in Khan Younis. The children were 6 to 14 years-of-age, all from the Al Astel family. It is unclear if the explosion was set off by the children tripping over or kicking the device, or via remote control. The next day, a senior Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) official was quoted on Israel Radio as saying a big mistake was done. The officer admitted an undercover army unit planted the device in the area, yet evaded any explanation as to why it was planted in the vicinity of a school. Yesterday, the IDF issued its first official statement regarding the killings. An IDF investigation revealed serious flaws in the planting and operation of the ordnance. Following the usual script, the IDF feigned sorrow over the deaths of five children. The IDF claims the device was planted in an area used by Palestinians to fire mortars at nearby Israeli colonial settlements and army positions. Israel Radio quoted IDF officials as saying the device was meant to remain well hidden and was to be set off when the Palestinian shooters returned to the area. (quoting Ha'aretz, 11/25/01) Israeli opposition leader MK Yossi Sarid of Meretz, responding to IDF claims that their recent operations in Khan Younis were designed to prevent Palestinian attacks, stated: That's a targeted hit? Do you know who will pass by the area [where the bomb is planted]? It's a residential area. What kind of bombs do you place in an area where school children pass by? (Ha'aretz, 11/24/01) MK Ran Cohen (Meretz) has called for a Knesset committee to investigate the incident, expressing dismay that the IDF sat quietly for two days before putting out an official statement that amounts to little more than a cover-up. MK Uri Ariel (National Union-Yisrael Beiteinu) disagreed, stating that IDF investigations take time because they are thorough. I have faith in the IDF, he stated. [Ariel] said that the army was is in the throes of the battle in the territories, and was busy assassinating Mahmoud Abu Hanoud [of Hamas] and so could not concentrate solely on the investigation that Cohen demanded. (Ha'aretz, 11/25/01) In other words: we were too busy trying to assassinate a Palestinian leader to investigate our killing of Palestinian children, but now that we've taken a five-minute breather from our assassination campaign we can conclude from our thorough investigation that a regretful mistake was made. Sorry kids, we'll try to do a better job of killing the right folks next time. The Israelis have not condemned the killings, though some officials say an apology might perhaps be in order. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, the total number of Palestinians killed since the second Intifada erupted on September 29, 2000 is 821. 16,661 Palestinians have been injured, many maimed for life. Palestinian children under the age of 18 represent about 1/4 of those killed. The Israeli military's killing of Palestinian children is not a sometimes accidental by-product of 34 years of occupation. It is in fact a matter of deliberate policy. In a chilling interview conducted by Ha'aretz correspondent Amira Hass, an IDF sharpshooter admitted it was IDF policy to shoot at children above the age of 12. Here is an excerpt [AH = Hass, IS = Sharpshooter]: (AH) You haven't shot children. (IS) All the sharpshooters haven't shot children. (AH) But nonetheless there are children who were hit, wounded or killed after they were hit in the head. Unless these were mistakes. (IS) If they were children, they were mistakes. (AH) Do they talk about this? (IS) They talk to us about this a lot. They forbid us to shoot at children. (AH) How do they say this? (IS) You don't shoot a child who is 12 or younger. (AH) That is, a child of 12 or older is allowed? (IS) Twelve and up is allowed. He's not a child any more, he's already after his bar mitzvah. Something like that. (AH) Thirteen is bar mitzvah age. (IS) Twelve and up, you're allowed to shoot. That's what they tell us. (AH) Again: Twelve and up you're allowed to shoot children. (IS) Because this already doesn't look to me like a child by definition, even though in the United States a child can be 23. (AH) Under international law, a child is defined as someone up to the age of 18. (IS) Up until 18 is a child? (AH) So, according to the IDF, it is 12? (IS) According to what the IDF says to its soldiers. I don't know if this is what the IDF says to the media. (AH) And children are from 12 down. Is there no order that between 12 and 18 you shoot at the legs and not the head? (IS) Of course we try to see to it that he really is over 20. (AH) In the 10 seconds that you have. (IS) In the 10 seconds that I have, I have to estimate how old he is. (AH) And in what

NOW NOW! 11/27/2001 12:55:12 PM Abe Foxman, New York Daily News New York, NY -- [Bill's note: They've been caught, things are getting worse, they don't know how to deal with it, and they are furious. I have been laughing ever since I read this. Just the headline is hilarious. These guys are pissed. Big time. How big? Real big. The following was published in Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organization's Mort Zuckerman's New York Daily News:] Blaming Jews For 9/11 Must Stop By Abraham H. Foxman National Director of the Anti-Defamation League Conspiracy theories about Sept. 11 abound in Arab and Muslim nations. The pernicious lie that continues to resonate, one that has been gaining ground among some Muslims in the United States, is that Israel somehow was directly involved. This dangerous blame game is a rebirth of the big lie, and, sadly, not nearly enough is being done to halt the rise of this ugly, historic phenomenon. As recently as last week, a Taliban security chief in Spin Buldak, Afghanistan, told four American journalists it was common knowledge that 4,000 Jews working at the World Trade Center took Sept. 11 off. He asked them why the U.S. was bombing his country when Jews were responsible for the attack. Jews have been scapegoated and libeled throughout history. Since the attacks, the conspiracy-mongers of the Arab world, including leaders of nations like Syria, have taken anti-Israel propaganda to a new level. The message, aimed primarily at the street, is that Israel or the Mossad helped to coordinate the attacks to create a backlash against Arabs, Islam and Palestinians. Major regional newspapers go so far as to attribute this conspiracy theory and other anti-Israel statements to former and current U.S. leaders and American sources. The Frontier Post of Peshawar, Pakistan, recently reported that it obtained information from a U.S. intelligence source confirming that an internal intelligence memo pointed to the threat of a covert Israeli operation on U.S. soil. Others manufacture statements. The Tehran Times reported that former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski had told the TV network Al Jazeera, Currently, there are two sorts of terrorism in the world. First, state-sponsored terrorism, the best example of which in the world is the Zionist regime, which is supported by the U.S. and the U.K. According to Brzezinski, this and other remarks attributed to him were a total fabrication. Syria's ambassador to Tehran, Tarky Muhammad Saqer, claimed that Syria has documented evidence of Israel's involvement. Zionists pursued certain goals by conducting the attacks, Saqer reportedly told Iran's Foreign Affairs Ministry. Those goals included turning attention away from the UN World Conference Against Racism. This continual news feed of anti-American and anti- Israel coverage must change. Those in power in the Arab world must lead the way. As we have witnessed time and again, such charged rhetoric invites extremists to step in with incitement. Incitement creates an environment conducive to, and accepting of, terrorism. As the U.S. and other nations join in the battle against worldwide terrorism, there must be renewed vigilance against purveyors of anti-Semitism and hatred. The battle will not be won until we can change the minds and hearts of those leaders who permit anti-Jewish, anti-Israel and anti-American propaganda to proceed.

Edgar Hoover announced to the country that superior American intelligence had foiled a Nazi plan to destroy U.S. bridges and factories. The FBI had captured eight Germans and German-Americans, who had landed in Long Island and Florida . . . In the days after Hoover's announcement, I helped draft a proclamation for Roosevelt that created a military commission to try foreign spies and saboteurs, and denied them the right to judicial review and the right to trial in nonmilitary U.S. courts. They would, instead, be tried by a military tribunal of seven generals, none a trained lawyer, in a conference room in the FBI headquarters, on the fifth floor of the Justice Department, away from the press, a civilian jury and civilian judges . . . In July 1942, when the first witness took the stand and was asked the first question, Kenneth Royall, the appointed counsel for the defendants, stood up and made a valid objection to the form of the question. The tribunal recessed for 45 minutes, roughly the amount of time it takes to smoke a good cigar, and returned with their response. Objection overruled. The question was answered and another asked. Royall stood up and made a second sound objection, but after another cigar break, the panel again overruled him. At this rate the trial would have lasted three years, but Royall took the generals' hint and sat virtually mum for the remainder of the month-long trial.

Bush's latest self-justification is his claim to be protecting jurors (by doing away with juries). Worse, his gung-ho advisers have convinced him as well as some gullible commentators that the Star Chamber tribunals he has ordered are implementations of the lawful Uniform Code of Military Justice. Military attorneys are silently seething because they know that to be untrue. The U.C.M.J. demands a public trial, proof beyond reasonable doubt, an accused's voice in the selection of juries and right to choose counsel, unanimity in death sentencing and above all appellate review by civilians confirmed by the Senate. Not one of those fundamental rights can be found in Bush's military order setting up kangaroo courts for people he designates before trial to be terrorists. Bush's fiat turns back the clock on all advances in military justice, through three wars, in the past half-century . . .

Bush cites the 1942 military tribunal convened to prosecute eight Nazis plotting attacks on U.S. soil to show how he wants to prosecute present-day terrorists. It's a model, all right.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 Subject: Anti Terror comment Congressman Ron Pauls Texas Straight Talk Weekly Column http://www.thelibertycommittee.org/ November 26, 2001 Can Freedom be Exchanged for Security? It's easy for elected officials in Washington to tell the American people that the government will do whatever it takes to defeat terrorism. Such assurances inevitably are followed by proposals either to restrict the constitutional liberties of the American people or spend vast sums from the federal treasury. The history of the 20th century shows that the Constitution is violated most often by Congress during times of crisis; accordingly, most of our worst unconstitutional agencies and programs began during the two world wars and the Depression. Ironically, the Constitution itself was conceived in a time of great crisis. The founders intended its provision to place inviolable restrictions on what the federal government could do even in times of great distress. America must guard against current calls for government to violate the Constitution- break the law- in the name of law enforcement. Theanti-terrorism legislation recently passed by Congress demonstrates how well-meaning politicians make shortsighted mistakes in a rush to respond to a crisis. Most of its provisions were never carefully studied by Congress, nor was sufficient time taken to debate the bill despite its importance. No testimony was heard from privacy experts or others from fields outside of law enforcement. Normal congressional committee and hearing processes were suspended. In fact, the final version of the bill was not made available to members before the vote! These political games should not be tolerated by the American public, especially when precious freedoms are at stake. Almost all of the new laws focus on American citizens rather than potential foreign terrorists. For example, the definition of terrorism for federal criminal purposes has been greatly expanded; you now may be considered a terrorist if you belong to a pro-constitution group, a citizens militia, or various pro-life organizations. Legitimate protest against the government could place you (and tens of thousands of other Americans) under federal surveillance. Similarly, your internet use can be monitored without your knowledge, and your internet provider can be forced to hand over user information to law enforcement without a warrant or subpoena. The bill also greatly expands the use of traditional surveillance tools, including wiretaps, search warrants, and subpoenas. Probable cause standards for these tools are relaxed or even eliminated in some circumstances; warrants become easier to obtain and can be executed without your knowledge; and wiretaps can be placed on you without a court order. In fact, the FBI and CIA now can tap phones or computers nationwide without even demonstrating that a particular phone or computer is being used by a criminal suspect. The biggest problem with these new law enforcement powers is that they bear little relationship to fighting terrorism. Surveillance powers are greatly expanded, while checks and balances on government are greatly reduced. Most of the provisions have been sought after by domestic law enforcement agencies for years, not to fight terrorism, but rather to increase their police power over the American people. There is no evidence that our previously-held civil liberties posed a barrier to the effective tracking or prosecution of terrorists. The federal government has made no showing that it failed to detect or prevent the recent terrorist strikes because of the civil liberties that will be compromised by this new legislation. In his speech to the joint session of Congress following the September 11th attacks, President Bush reminded all of us that the United States outlasted and defeated Soviet totalitarianism in the last century. The numerous internal problems in the former Soviet Union- its centralized economic planning and lack of free markets, its repression of human liberty, its excessive militarization- all led to its inevitable collapse. We must be vigilant to resist the rush toward ever-increasing state control of our society, so that our own government does not become a greater threat to our freedoms than any foreign terrorist.

The report makes it clear that the federal government almost immediately began spinning the story to present the image that McVeigh was alone the day the ammonium nitrate-fuel oil bomb exploded and caused the deaths of 168 people. Witnesses who saw suspicious characters in downtown Oklahoma City the morning of April 19 were never called to the stand. All points bulletins issued by law enforcement to locate the suspicious characters were withdrawn immediately after the arrest of McVeigh -- an hour after the bombing -- though he was held for two days before being officially connected to the incident. Witnesses who saw McVeigh in the presence of others days before the bombing and the morning of the bombing were excluded from court proceedings. Witnesses who claim that their response to jump under their desks when the building began shaking moments before the blast were never called to testify. Senator Key was apprised of these, and more inconsistencies within days of what, until September 11, 2001, was the worst "terrorist attack" in American history. "So many broken-hearted families affected directly by the bombing had unanswered questions and implored me, in my capacity as an elected official, to pursue further investigation into the case. This resulted in the formation of the Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Committee (OBIC) by private citizens, which was funded solely by the private sector," explained Key in the preface. The report is a fascinating odyssey into the machinery of media mind manipulation as you begin to remember things that you saw and understood to be true at the time of the event but have long since been replaced with images intended to distort and confuse reality. "We have sufficient proof to support our original contention that the federal government indeed had prior knowledge of the bombingEvidence we have amassed establishes that multiple John Does were involved," wrote Key. Much of the evidence uncovered by the OBIC over the last six years has been ignored by the dominant media. The dominant media's insistence upon maintaining its role as propaganda ministry for a demonstrably weak official explanation of events in this, and other cases, may have emboldened the real terrorists, essentially lighting the runway for the most recent WTC tragedy to occur. The final report became available prior to September 11. Yet the OBIC foreshadowed the WTC event by stating, "It is our belief that the bombing in Oklahoma City will not be the last terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Since all of the perpetrators have not been caught, they are still free to continue their work. This will happen again." It has taken a full six years to amass the evidence and get it ready for publication. It is logical to conclude that it may be another six years before a comprehensive, impartial compilation of the evidence regarding the WTC attack will be available to the public. Until that time, the Final Report is the anatomy of the federal government's cover-up of what is now the second most deadly "terrorist" attack in U.S. history and, as such, no doubt provides clues that will allow us to gain inference into the mechanics of this most recent attack. The Final Report is available from NorFed: (888) 421-6181.
[CTRL] Fugitive abortion foe: I sent anthrax threats
http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20011125waagnernat3p3.asp Fugitive abortion foe: I sent anthrax threats Waagner makes visit to Web site operator Sunday, November 25, 2001 By Dennis B. Roddy, Post-Gazette Staff Writer Fugitive Clayton Waagner said he is the sender of a series of anthrax threats to family planning clinics, and said he plans to begin killing 42 clinic workers he has identified, according to a fellow anti-abortion militant who says Waagner held him at gunpoint Friday. "He had some FedEx packing slips and he had copies of the letters that had been included in there," said Neal Horsley, a Carrollton, Ga., anti-abortion activist whose writings Waagner has read. The latest round of anthrax threats against family planning clinics had been sent through Federal Express last week using billing numbers stolen from Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation. Horsley said Waagner, who has family roots in Western Pennsylvania, appeared heavier than in previous photos, had a beard and, when asked how he has survived as a fugitive, flashed rolls of $100 bills he said were taken in bank robberies. "He said at one point, 'You know, I really am an accomplished criminal,' " Horsley said. "I asked him once where he had been and he said, 'I have never slept in the same bed twice.' " Horsley's Web site, Christian Gallery, has been the subject of national controversy since he first published The Nuremberg List, a compendium of names and addresses -- sometimes photos -- of abortion providers, clinic workers and abortion- rights supporters. Critics have said that the files are a de facto hit list from which clinic stalkers have drawn names of future targets. At the time Waagner was arrested, after allegedly staking out dozens of clinics in the Northeast and Mid-south, he said he was attempting to update the Nuremberg files and had hidden new addresses and information in a series of free e-mail accounts on various sites on the World Wide Web. Waagner escaped in February from a jail in Clinton, Ill., where he was awaiting sentencing on federal firearms and interstate theft charges. As a career criminal, he could have received a life sentence. In September, Waagner kidnapped a man outside a Tunica, Miss., casino and later fled in the man's car. According to Horsley, Waagner stopped at Horsley's home shortly before noon Friday, but did not identify himself. Horsley said he did not recognize the man, who simply told him he had read Horsley's writings, shook his hand, then left. About an hour later, Horsley said, the man reappeared and asked him if he recognized him. When he did not, the man said, "I'm Clay Waagner." Horsley said the visit lasted about an hour, during which Waagner flashed money, showed dozens of false driver licenses with his photo on them, and informed Horsley that the gun he was carrying had been stolen in Memphis, Tenn. "He asked me if I had heard that anyone suspected him of sending hundreds of letters filled with what was supposed to be anthrax powder to abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood offices around the country," Horsley said. "I told him I thought it was unlikely anyone would suspect him since he was on the run and obviously wouldn't have the means to do something like that. He took a seat near by desk and said, 'Well, it was me that did it.' " Horsley said Waagner agreed to "an escape clause" under which he would not attack the 42 abortion industry workers he claims to have identified and targeted for murder. They would be left alone, Horsley said Waagner told him, if they resigned their jobs and documented it. Wagner, according to Horsley, said these people needed to send Horsley information to prove that they no longer were employed at clinics. Waagner then wanted Horsley to post the information on his Web site, which Waagner said he monitors. "I said, 'How are they to know they're targeted?' " Horsley said. "He said, 'The holy spirit will tell them.' " Their encounter ended a while later. "When he left, he tied me up with duct tape so that it took many long minutes before I could untie myself," Horsley said. Police in Carrollton, Horsley said, took fingerprints in his home, copies of documents Waagner left behind, and had him examine photos of Waagner. Horsley said he identified Waagner from one of three photographs posted on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List. Carrollton police said yesterday that they have notified the FBI, and they would not discuss the incident. Horsley's claim of a visit from Waagner comes a week after federal agents, including U.S. Postal inspectors, searched the Waagner family's home near Kennerdell, Venango County. At the time, agents were looking for information that might give some idea of his whereabouts. The U.S. Marshals Service confirmed last night that Carrollton police were called to Horsley's home on Friday where they took possession of a tape and documents that appeared to be from Waagner.

[CTRL] Secret tribunal convicted U.S. 'war hero'
http://www.austin360.com/statesman/editions/sunday/insight_1.html Secret tribunal convicted U.S. 'war hero' By Jeff Nesmith Washington Bureau Sunday, November 25, 2001 WASHINGTON -- He has been called "an authentic American war hero" whose acts may have saved the lives of hundreds of American civilians. Yet George Johann Dasch was tried as a saboteur by a secret military tribunal, similar to the one President Bush hopes will try members of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, al Qaeda. He was found guilty in 1942 and sent to the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. The case is seen as cause for even greater concern by some -- though not all -- of the legal scholars who previously had criticized an executive order authorizing the Defense Department to try alleged al Qaeda terrorists in secret if it chooses. Dasch was not a saboteur, once-sealed government documents show. The records were made public in 1980 by Atlanta Constitution reporter Seth Kantor, who said they showed that Dasch prevented seven German-trained agents from carrying out their planned attacks on U.S. territory. And he coaxed the FBI into investigating the plot. But after the secret trial, at which Dasch was the eighth defendant and was convicted, he was sentenced to 30 years of hard labor. Another defendant was sentenced to life at hard labor, and the other six were executed. "Ironically, he is most probably an authentic American hero, responsible for saving many lives. But fate had made him a threat to the FBI's public image," wrote former FBI Special Agent William Turner in the 1970 history, "Hoover's FBI: The Men and the Myth." J. Edgar Hoover, then director of the FBI, blocked release of records about Dasch's deeds. Hoover declared at one point that the records "might lead to embarrassment of the FBI," wrote Kantor, now dead. Kantor wrote that the trial transcript showed that FBI agents promised Dasch a quick presidential pardon, but it did not happen. FBI records showed that Hoover, who was considered for a congressional medal because of the way his agents blocked the saboteurs, was motivated by a desire to seize credit for "the detective job of the century," Kantor wrote. Critics of Bush's executive order found new cause for concern when told recently of the Dasch case. "It's extraordinary," Harvard University law professor Ann Marie Slaughter said. "The danger of trial by military commission is precisely that it lacks the constitutional safeguards that we think are necessary to ensure that the people we try and convict are indeed guilty. To the extent that may in fact not have been the case in (Dasch's case), it highlights the special danger of using such commissions today." Slaughter noted that the government may take to the planned secret trials "individuals whose crime is no greater than to have overstayed their visas and to have had contact with others who may have had contact with the terrorist network." Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., after reading copies of Kantor's 1980 articles, declared: "The lesson is that secret trials and lack of judicial oversight may be expedient, but they can also foster injustice and taint the legitimacy of the verdicts." Duke University law professor Scott Silliman said he was more concerned that Bush's directive lacks the legal validity that a formal declaration of war or similar action by Congress would give it than about the way a secret commission appears to have mistreated Dasch in 1942. Yale University law professor Ruth Wedgwood, an expert on international law and a former prosecutor, has said she thinks the commissions ordered by Bush are justified because of the need to protect classified documents and the urgency of stopping bin Laden. However, Wedgwood said she has urged lawyers at the Department of Defense to draw up rules that would keep most of the proceedings public, with "some flexibility to close things that are classified." `Simply one option' Attorney General John Ashcroft cited the saboteurs' case earlier this week as one of several legal precedents for Bush's action. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the 1942 tribunal. "As far as legal authority or precedent is concerned, I would just say that this executive order does not preclude any other proceeding from taking place," White House spokesman Ken Lasaius said. "It is simply one option that could be pursued if the president thinks it is necessary." Hoover prevailed on his boss, then-Attorney General Tom Clark, in 1944 to suppress a Department of Justice summary of the secret trial. "There are many references throughout the summary to the telephone call of George J. Dasch to the Bureau," Hoover wrote to Clark. "There is a possibility, if such references are permitted, that the press will be curious as to the manner in which the bureau received its information." Dasch was one of eight men put through saboteur training by the Nazi military intelligence corps soon

http://whatreallyhappened.com/sex.html SEX WITH COMMON HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES! (Is the government planning another attempt to censor the Internet?) A funny thing has been happening in my email lately. Just a few weeks ago, both my wife and I started getting junk mail advertising porno sites. Not your average run-of-the-mill porno either, but really extreme stuff, seemingly intended to shock and outrage, advertising photos of sex involving under age partners and with life forms having more than two legs! In most cases, the mechanism to remove ones address from these mailing lists does not work. Some of my friends have also started getting these ads as well. And a phone call to my local ISP confirms that this has become a problem in recent weeks, with people suddenly being recipients of ads for "fringe market" porn. Nobody can imagine how a company that deals in that sort of product line managed to get our names on their email addresses. Ah, but all this has a familiar feel to it! Back in 1995, before web browsers had really taken off and usenet was still the predominant means of social communication on the internet, there was a sudden influx of pornography being flooded onto the usenet newsgroups. Like the present case, the porno was of a character which seemed intended to shock and outrage. Even though there were (and still are) usenet newsgroups set aside for this kind of material, this particular flood of porn was being posted to usenet groups normally used for trading cooking recipes, sharing astronomical data, etc. When the readers of those non-sexual groups gently suggested that the posters of the porn move their activities to the usenet groups set aside for such things, the posters responded with a few obscene comments and proceeded to pour even more "fringe market" porn into totally inappropriate venues, including those likely to be viewed by children. Knowing that nobody but an FBI informant could ever be such an arrogant ass hole, knowledgeable internet observers began to suspect that the source of the porn had to be a government propaganda operation (not unlike the infamous Black Panther Coloring Book from the FBI's COINTELPRO scandal), and indeed headers of some of the posted porn tracked back through .gov and .mil servers. We didn't have long to wait. Only a few weeks after this sudden onslaught of porn in inappropriate newsgroups appeared out of nowhere, Senator Exon stood up on the floor of the U.S. Senate during debate on the Senate Telecommunications Competition and Deregulation Act, waving about his now-infamous "blue book" of net-porn and demanded laws that (among other things) allowed for the operators of internet service providers to be held legally liable for the behaviors of their customers. The mainstream media, then as now the obeiscent servant of the state's agenda, droned on and on about how "everyone" in the nation had to be aware that porn was now an epidemic requiring government intervention. Exon got his law passed. And, in the most telling sign of all, no sooner had the law been passed then, like a switch, the porn "epidemic" was gone. Overnight, those parties who had poured a flood of shocking and outraging porn all over usenet simply vanished; subtlety and finesse never having been a part of the US Government's Propaganda machine. So now we are in a time when the US Government is waging open warfare on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The only venue of mass communication not yet under total control of the state is the internet, which functions as a modern day descendant of the "Samizdat"; the network of fax machines and copiers that allowed the citizens of the former USSR to expose the corruption of their government, leading to its collapse. And just as the Stalinists wanted to shut down the Samizdat, so too does the government of the United States, fearful of having its own corruptions exposed, search for a way to close down the free and open internet; to bring it under control of the state much as the mainstream media has been. So when you open your email application and start seeing ads for "Sex with home appliances", "Sex with space aliens", or "Sex with politicians", you may be seeing your own tax dollars at work, to trick you into support of the government taking over control of the very last means of open and uncensored communications available to you, to plug that one last opening in the wall the government is building around your eyes and ears, so that you will have no choice but to believe that the world is really what the government tells you it is. And when that same government that leaves you no choice tells you that you are free, you will have no choice but to believe that as well, even though common sense will tell you that those without choices are really slaves, even if they do not realize it.

Saba __ Marcelle Ninio, spy in the Lavon Affair. In 1971 one of the spies who figured in the Lavon Affair, Marcelle Ninio, broke into the headlines of Israel and of the satellite Israeli press in the United States. Ninio, the only woman involved in the affair that so rocked the political life of Israel, had been exchanged for Egyptian prisoners of war after the June 1967 war, along with Victor Levy, Robert Dassa, and Philip Nathanson, her co-saboteurs, and Champagne Spy Wolfgang Lotz, who had been apprehended in 1965 after four years of spying in Egypt. According to a five-paragraph story in the New York Times of November 16, 1971, Premier Golda Meir was to attend the wedding of a girl who at the age of 16 was convicted of espionage for Israel and spent 10 years in an Egyptian jail. The Lavon Affair was referred to as a mysterious sabotage mission inside Egypt in 1954, about which full details remain a secret. [366] [367] The entire tone of the article suggested innocence on the part of Israel and of the bride-to-be. It had been just another case of those hating Egyptians trying to put a spy rap on a nice Jewish girl. The New York Post carried a four-column story on page 4, Israeli Heroine to Marry, and referred to the dark-haired woman who spent fifteen years in a Cairo prison for alleged sabotage activities. Both newspapers slanted the reportage, withholding undisputed facts in this true spy story. Although the so-called heroine had been deeply involved in proven espionage, seventeen years later the same editorial papers were compounding the felony they had originally committed. To avoid presenting the established facts of Israeli sabotage against the U.S., which had involved Israeli Cabinet ministers Dayan and Peres, the Times covered up the affair in this fashion: The mission quickly was shown to be a far-fetched idea. == Elie Cohen, spy in the Lavon Affair. When Israeli spy Elie Cohen, alias Kamal Amin Tabas, was uncovered by Syrian intelligence and hanged in Damascus, an angry hue and cry arose in the West, led by the media with photos (front page of the New York Times) of the condemned's body hanging in the public square. Two popular books, Our Man in Damascus 25 by Eli Ben-Hanan and The Silent Warriors 26 by Joshua Tadmor translated from the Hebrew by Israeli Ha'aretz. U.S. correspondent Raphael Rothstein, made a martyr of the spy (the latter tome was dedicated ironically enough to Elie Wiesel, the godfather of anti-anti-Semitism) and attacked the lack of a fair trial to which the press was not admitted. In the course of their glorification of the Israeli superspy, the authors unwittingly further proved his guilt. Cohen had been arrested in Egypt as part of the Lavon Affair spy ring but held only for two years, released, and then had joined Israel's Secret Service as a trained espionage agent with Damascus to be the base of his operations. As an Oriental Jew he was fluent in Arabic and was scarcely distinguishable from any Muslim or Christian Arab. Most of the important Israeli spies were Arab Jews. Cohen cleverly worked his way into affluent social and political circles in Damascus, even becoming acquainted with General Amin el-Hafez, who was to come into power in March 1963. Through his contacts Cohen was able to ascertain the number, type, and placement of MIG-21 planes, T-54 tanks, and other Soviet armament, which Syria was receiving from the Soviet Union, as well as Damascus plans for the construction of a canal as counterdiversion of the Daniyas, one of the principal sources of the Jordan River.

[CTRL] Operation Whitecoat-Taking a Germ Bullet
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-112601germs.story Taking a Germ Bullet From 1954 to 1973 during Operation Whitecoat, the Army exposed hundreds of Seventh-day Adventists to diseases to learn about possible bioweaponry. By AARON ZITNER, Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON -- Dressed in battle fatigues and wrapped in an Army blanket, Lloyd Long slept on the sand in the barren Utah desert. Monkeys and guinea pigs sat placidly in cages beside him. A siren blared, telling Long to wake up and climb onto a stool. He faced into the wind and breathed the night air. Two weeks later, the 18-year-old soldier fell as sick as he'd ever been. Fever. Headache. Blurred vision. The desert wind had carried a waft of the debilitating disease known as Q fever, unleashed by Army scientists. And Long, a human guinea pig by his own consent, had helped prove that Americans were vulnerable to a new type of weapon: the germ. That was more than 46 years ago. Long was part of Operation Whitecoat, a set of 153 Army tests from 1954 to 1973 that mark an extraordinary chapter in medical research history, one that probably could not be repeated today. The Whitecoat experiments exposed hundreds of healthy young men to debilitating diseases that might be used in biological warfare. And the experiments were conducted on soldiers recruited from a single religious group: the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Now the Whitecoats, who have received little public attention over the years, are being lauded as heroes. By offering the first details of how biological weapons move through the environment and affect the human body, their experiments laid out many of the scientific insights that officials need as they boost U.S. defenses against bioterrorism and investigate the anthrax attacks that have killed at least four Americans. "I firmly believe that if those experiments had not shown our vulnerability to biological warfare, there would be no biological defense program today," said Col. Arthur Anderson, an Army immunologist. "As a result, the services provided during this outbreak of anthrax would be completely in the Dark Age." But ethical concerns probably would rule out Operation Whitecoat today, because the experiments would put volunteers at undue risk, said Jonathan Moreno, a University of Virginia bioethics researcher. Should those standards now be relaxed? "Before Sept. 11, would we have found these tests more objectionable than we do now? I think we would," Moreno said. "We might be willing to live with more ambiguities and moral compromises now, in the harsh realities of the 21st century." No test subjects died during Operation Whitecoat, Army officials say. The Army only now is conducting a study of possible long-term effects on those exposed, asking the 1,000 or so volunteers who could be located to fill out health questionnaires. Like today, the nation was trying to grapple with the new and frightening threat of biological warfare at the time Operation Whitecoat was created. After World War II, Americans learned that Japan had conducted extensive germ attacks and experiments on humans, mostly in Japanese-occupied areas of China. By some accounts, more than 10,000 people were infected. But to U.S. scientists, biowarfare was an unproven threat. Once released, biological agents seemed hard to control in battle. And it was unclear how many casualties might result. Little was known about the number of germs it took to harm someone, and whether they could be released broadly, through an aerosol. "We needed to fully understand the nature of aerosols and infectivity in man," said William C. Patrick III, a former official in the U.S. bioweapon program. "You could only get so much information from an animal model." And so, in 1954, the Army approached Adventist leaders about forming a partnership. Adventists had a special niche in the armed forces. Following the commandment "Thou shalt not kill," many sought status as conscientious objectors and became medics. That often put them on the battlefield, but in life-saving roles. Army scientists thought the well-educated Adventists, with their natural interest in health matters, would make good test subjects. Moreover, Adventists--at least those who followed church rules--did not smoke, or drink alcohol or coffee. "They were a cleaner piece of paper on which to work an experiment," said Richard O. Stenbakken, who supervises Adventist clergy in the armed forces. When testing an experimental drug or disease agent, "you didn't have to ask if their reaction was because they were drunk as a skunk on Saturday night." In all, more than 2,100 young Adventist soldiers made the trip from Ft. Sam Houston in Texas, where the Army conducted medic training, to serve their tours of duty at the Army's biological warfare program at Ft. Detrick, Md. Many would have ended up in Korea or Vietnam. Once at Ft. Detrick, they were expected to volunteer for at least

[CTRL] jesus, merovingians, holy grail [was armies of repression]
-Caveat Lector- yeshua was called the christ thereafter guess what many people in india call their little boys? kristo it's all a literal translation from the greek that the early church works were written in. i think i'm gonna chock this one up to coincidence. the words of paul appealed to the 'civilized' mindset...so they were used by the church to induce a kind of following that was contrary to yeshua's words...for the purpose of subverting the movement...same reason that the real followers of yeshua were killed...the fish, the sign of the pacificst...pisces...is no good for a nation that exists by its ability to mandate war... actually, i'd like to ask the entire list if they have any articles, book suggestions, etc on the theory that jesus may have had offspring that eventually turned into the merovingian line of france. the theory i'm basing this on goes as follows - jesus was in reality descended directly from the line of david and was thus the true hereditary king of the jews. his life was threatened when he was young, as herod was rightly worried that he may attempt to claim the throne, and thus he was expelled first to egypt and then to india. eventually, he returned not to preach but to claim his throne and began to amass a following throughout the countryside - an army - by trying to convince people that he was the messiah. naturally, some took it seriously and others viewed it as blasphemy for political gains. the romans couldn't care less - it was quite obviously treason. he was therefore executed, but before he did so he impregnated his wife - mary magdalene, who was not a prostitute but a wealthy land owner. upon his death, she fled to southern france in order to save the child from persecution and raised it by herself with the large sums of money that she had. she named him jesus II; and he had a child named jesus III who had a child named jesus IV. this information is apparently available in the dead sea scrolls and some people think it's also locked up deep inside the vatican vaults because the thriving christian community in southern france - a community of *real* christians modeled after mary magdalene's conversions - were brutally supressed in a series of crusades. after this i have hit a dead end, but the merovingian kings of france, strangely, always maintained that they were descended from this line of fisher kings and it seems to be generally acknowledge as historical fact that mary magdalene did make her way to marseilles. joseph arimithea, jesus' brother according to this theory, would have also been in england around this time in an attempt to convert people there. could this bloodline to the mervongians and carolingians be the true holy grail [sang real]? does anybody have more information? what i am looking for here is an actual linkage between jesus christ and clovis I in the form of a genealogical table. not vague claims, an actual blood line. if this is true, every important person since the fall of rome has been a true descendant of christ; including the current president. how's *that* for a conspiracy theory? inri np: http://chat.carleton.ca/~jparent2/ If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator. - george w. bush A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Dick Nixons Secret Link To The Underworld
-Caveat Lector- From: Behind the Scene March 1956 Vol. 1, No 12 JB Publishing Corporation©1956 220 w 42nd St New York, 36, NY - Dick Nixons Secret Link To The Underworld! by Marvin Higgins In his swift rise to the top of the' political heap, young Richard has picked up some strange companions! But none stranger than a certain Influential gentleman who pulls the strings backstage for Tricky Dick Nixon . . . Sometime during the early morn-ing of December 11th, 1950, a lawyer named Samuel Rummel was blasted into eternity by a 12- gauge. shotgun in the driveway of his swank Hollywood:, home. The day after lawyer Rummel was wafted to the Supreme Bench, the police got a clue. It was a strong clue. It might have cleared up a lot of mysteries. But the cops never' got the chance to follow It up. An attorney named Murray Chotiner made a few phone calls, talked to a few influential people and, when he was finished, the clue became a dead end. Rummel's death and a whole story of gangland violence, illegal gambling syndicates, police corruption and vice in California ended in a blank wall. The Man Behind Nixon, Murray Chotiner, who was instrumental in building that wall, is the right-hand man of Richard M. Nixon, Vice-President of the United. States! And if, through the sudden death of the President, Nixon should take over the White House, the same Murray Chotiner will probably be the chief adviser to the nation's Chief Executive! What kind ofsecrets did Sam Rummel take to his gravesecrets which Murray Chotiner apparently did not want revealed? Between 1945 and 1950, seven important figures in the West Coast underworld died violent deaths. With the exception of Bugsy Siegel, their names were not well known to the public. They included such picturesque characters as Benny Meatball Gamson, Harry Hooky Rothman and Needie Herbert. All had one thing in common. In one way or another, all were involved with Mickey Cohen, Rummel's client., And Mickey Cohen, In turn, was involved with the West Coast gambling syndicate, which masqueraded under the name of the Guarantee Finance Co. At the time of Rummel's death, however, three separate agencies were investigating the operations of Guarantee Finance. A special -grand jury, for Instance, was scheduled to open its sessions on the very morning Sam Rummel was killed. One of the questions it wanted answered was: What cop or cops got a $108,000 payoff from Guarantee Nuance, the bookie syndicate? To help answer this question, the grand jury had subpoenaed Sheriff's Capt. Carl H. Pearson. But before Pearson could testify, Rurnmelwho knew where all the bodies were buriedwas killed. Meeting Ends In Death Then came the clue the police had been waiting for. Pearson admitted that he and Sheriff's Deputy Lawrence C. Schaffer were probably the last persons to see Sam Rummel alive! Pearson confessed that he, Schaf-fer and Rummel had, held a conference, at the lawyer's request. Pearson said that he had brought with him, to the meeting, the complete police files on the Guarantee Finance Co! The meeting ended at 10:40 p.m., December 10th. And the following morning, some time around 1:30 a.m., Rummel was dead. Pearson and Schaffer knew what had been discussed at that meeting with the gamblers' lawyer. And when they appeared before the grand jury, many things about the syndicate's op-erations were bound to come to light. The Big Fix Schaffer, realizing the spot he was in, picked up a phone and called Murray Chotiner. What he said will probably never be known. But Chotinerwho packs a lot of weight in Californiafixed it, so that Schaffer got off the hook. That doused any light that might have been shed on gangland violence,- the $108,000 payoff and the compli-cated operations of California's book-ies. And the man who engineered the blackoutMurray Chotineris a key figure In California's Republican hierarchy. He Is the man to see if you want any favors from the Vice President of the United States! Why should Murray Chotinerwho pulls the strings for Nixonbe interested in helping to cover up the workings of a giant bookie syndicate? One clue was recently unearthed by a West Coast reporter from the files of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Between 1949 and June, 1952, a single law firm represented defendants in 220 bookmaking cases in that court. The Bookies' Friend The name of the firmthe bookies' friend, for a pricewas, of course, Chotiner Chotiner! . The same reporter could not find a single criminal case of any other type in which Murray Chotiner's firm acted during the same period! In other words, the professional career of a man who may one day be a White House advisor depends largely on defending illegal bookmakers! , How did this singular circumstance come to be? Young Dick Nixon first came to Chotiner's attention in 1946, when the future Vice President first decided to throw his hat in the political

You can protest this with one click if you go to: http://www.vitamins-for-all.org/mainsites/usa/index.html Codex would like the manufacturer of all vitamins in the hands of pharmaceutical companies which would limit the potency and raise the prices of vitamins. Pharmaceutical companies have already been buying up vitamin companies in a trojan horse attempt to take over the industry. Read more: http://www.vitamins-for-all.org/codex/usa/wibca.html http://www.vitamins-for-all.org/codex/usa/wibca2.html http://www.vitamins-for-all.org/codex/usa/wibca3.html What are the aims of the Codex Alimentarius Commission? Constructed by the pharmaceutical industry, the Codex Alimentarius Commission is a self-proclaimed expert organization that has allied with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Food Organization (FAO). From the beginning, this was done with the intention of passing regulations and laws to protect the global pharmaceutical market. Of the 30 committees using the title Codex Alimentarius, those involved with food supplements and vitamins are of particular interest to the pharmaceutical industry. The central committee is the Codex Committee for Nutrition and Dietetic Foods. A puppet of the pharmaceutical industry, this committee has only been concerned with one topic since the middle of the 1990's: how to prevent vitamins and other food supplements from causing the collapse of the markets for beta blockers, calcium antagonists, cholesterol lowering products and other widely superfluous pharmaceutical preparations. By far, Germany is the biggest exporter of these dubious pharmaceutical products, and nowhere else in the world exists such a bond between the pharmaceutical industry and politics. Therefore it is no surprise that the Government of the German Federal Republic is in charge of this committee benefitting the pharmaceutical cartel. The aims of the Codex Alimentarius are clearly defined: Statements on the curative effects of vitamins and other natural remedies will be banned and made a punishable offense. In the future, the distinction between a foodstuff and a medicine will be made by the pharmaceutical industry itself and not by governments. Using this new legislative edict, the pharmaceutical industry will extend its own markets as it sees fit. At present, the pharmaceutical industry has succeeded in classifying 500 milligrams of vitamin C in pill form as a medication and requiring a prescription in Germany. If the pharmaceutical industry had its way, 100 mg or even 50 mg vitamin C would be classified as medication. The pharmaceutical industry knows that most people have no understandings of these restrictions and has disguised them with legal jargon. The strategic aims of Codex Alimentarius 1. The distribution of health information concerning vitamins, amino acids, minerals and other natural products for the prevention and treatment of diseases will be banned globally. 2. The sale of vitamins and other natural products which exceed the guidelines of this Codex commission (which are arbitrary and far too low) will be prohibited globally. 3. Countries that fail to apply these laws will be punished by international economic sanctions. To mask its actual intention of protecting the world market of superfluous pharmaceutical preparations, those responsible for Codex have invented exculpatory statements: Thus the Codex Alimentarius conference will occur at the Federal Office for Health-related Consumer Protection in Berlin in June of 2000. In addition to the consumer protection from alleged harmful side effects of vitamins, a need for united international administration of the pharmaceutical industry was indicated. The fact that the pharmaceutical industry believes that this disguised justification will be unaccepted is clearly evident since Codex plans to punish all those who oppose its plans with economic sanctions by the UN. Our response: Talk to as many people as possible about these irresponsible plans and let the members of the Codex commission and their delegates know what you think. As the graphic below shows, the pharmaceutical industry is one of the most lucrative industries today. Profits exceeded 500% in only 10 years. The greed of the majority holders of the pharmaceutical groups fuels the unethical Codex plans. http://www.vitamins-for-all.org/codex/usa/wibca4.html Basis of the pharmaceutical industry: The business with the disease · The pharmaceutical industry bases its existence on the business with the disease.

---BeginMessage--- FTW -- Nov. 27, 2001 CORRECTION TO FTWS TIMELINE STORY OH LUCY -- http://www.copvcia.com/stories/nov_2001/lucy.html In our story dated 11/2/01 in which we presented a complete timeline of events - before and after September 11th - indicating U.S. government complicity in the attacks and demonstrating an agenda other than what we are being told, we made a small error. We would like to correct it. In what was previously Item #16 of the timeline we stated that 23,000 British troops plus the largest British Naval Armada since the Falkland Islands War had been pre-positioned in Oman in an operation called Essential Harvest. In fact, the deployment of British troops was underway and had been planned for four years but the troops had not yet arrived in Oman. This coincides with writings from Zbigniew Brzezinski and other evidence showing that the current war had been in the preparatory stages for at least that long. The correct name of the Operation is Swift Sword. The attacks of September 11th caused a brief hiccup in the British deployment but as we have confirmed from British military web sites and The Guardian the huge deployment to Oman did take place, conveniently, as had been planned. It was just in time to support U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. The timeline story has also been enhanced with shocking new revelations from the BBCs Greg Palast (See Item #2). The story and the online Nov 20, issue of FTW had been corrected and we apologize for any inconvenience. The trust of our readers is the most important thing we possess. Therefore, we will always make efforts to correct any inaccuracies, no matter how small, so that you may quote us with confidence.

[CTRL] The obscure goat story of 9-11
-Caveat Lector- The obscure goat story of 9-11 It is very important to examine the first reactions President Bush had concerning the events of September 11. You can tell much about the truth by observing the reactions of men. Human nature is almost always the best truth detector and said to be the most accurate lie detector. One of the basic instructions taught to every U.S. military and civilian police trainee is to watch and observe. Let's observe what really took place before these headline stories are buried in a sea of obscurity. In Sarasota, Florida, Bush was reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m. when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear. The president briefly turned somber before he resumed reading. He addressed the tragedy about a half-hour later. - Associated Press, September 12, 2001 [bold emphasis added]. President Bush listened to 18 Booker Elementary School second-graders read a story about a girl's pet goat Tuesday before he spoke briefly and somberly about the terrorist attacks. - Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Page A20, September 12, 2001 [bold emphasis added]. President Bush became briefly somber and continued reading a story about a goat for nearly another half hour. He didn't politely excuse himself to the children, but rather, temporarily stopped reading only to continue on as if nothing had happened. Is this how you - or anyone around you at the time - reacted when you first heard the news of the WTC tragedy? At the very least, one would think that Bush would have spent a minute or two being properly briefed by his trusted Chief of Staff before finishing his reading of a goat story. If this was new news to him, one would surely think that he would immediately want to know more details. Does anyone else see that this Presidential reaction was out of place and doesn't fit the circumstances? His reaction seems to imply that this was not fresh news to him, but more of a confirmation of what he might have already known about. Watch and observe. In human nature, this kind of reaction - in reality, a non-reaction - usually comes about when the hearer either already has knowledge of what he was just told, or he doesn't have any concern over what he was just told. Some have already said that Bush didn't want to upset the children as an excuse for his continuing to read the goat story. Wouldn't one have to believe that these 7 year old children were already upset and nervous about having the President read a story with them in their classroom? A simple and polite Children, I'm sorry I can't read with you any longer. As the President, sometimes my schedule changes quickly, but I want to thank you for allowing me to join you in reading this story would have been fitting. The problem is that's not what happened. Watch and observe. It struck us odd that both the above newspaper articles (as well as many others) stressed the word somber in describing the President's first as well as delayed reactions. That seemed normal enough at first, but then we decided to find out what a somber reaction and manner of speech really is. Watch and observe. somber / sombre.* French sombre ; Spanish sombra , shade, prob. from LL. subumbrare to put in the shade; Latin sub under + umbra shade. See Umbrage. umbrage.* French ombrage , shade, suspicion, umbrage. Latin umbraticus , belonging to shade, French umbra, a shade. Cf. Umber, Umbratic. 1. Shade; shadow; obscurity; hence, that which affords a shade, as a screen of trees or foliage. 2. Shadowy resemblance; shadow. Of or pertaining to the shade or darkness; shadowy; unreal; nce of light; black hole; dark star; dark matter, cold dark matter. Occultation, adumbration, obumbration; sunless, lightless; dark as pitch, dark as a pit, dark as Erebus[Lat]. somber, dusky; unilluminated... * Webster's Dictionary, 1913 [underlining added]. ** Roget's Thesaurus, 1911, search results for somber [underlining added]. Now it appears that the somber reaction of President Bush is perhaps more revealing than at first glimpse. If the President briefly turned somber and spoke briefly and somberly about the terrorist attacks, then the reporters were describing both his demeanor and speech as being shadowy, obscure, dark, unreal, without light, and suspicious. Was this a mistaken word of description, or were they accurately reporting what they saw and observed? These newspaper reports are describing the character and demeanor of the President as dark, black, and lightless when Andrew Card told him about the WTC disaster. They did not describe him as becoming sorrowful or concerned, nor even that he appeared upset. They deliberately chose the word somber to relay to their readers how President Bush appeared. Watch and observe. The reporters also used the same word somber to describe his manner of speech after having had 30 minutes to (perhaps) compose himself from such tragic news. His manner of speech, nearly a half hour
