Re: [CTRL] Donahue BREAKS 9-11 CONSPIRACY STORY!!!
-Caveat Lector- Dear Mr. Donahue: Since you are not listed in my extensive collection of books as a member of the subversive Council on Foreign Relations, nor its offspring, the Trilateral Commission, perhaps you are an exception in the controlled media who is not afraid to elicit a smidgeon of truth, by giving a little time to some of those who have lost loved ones at the hands of the un elected Bush-mob. At 76 years of age, I never did expect that I would ever be thanking Phil Donahue for anything he ever did or said. But even Bill Clinton's former professor, Carroll Quigley, a solid liberal on the New World Order team, was able to awaken to the facts of life, and publish, in several books, the dirty deeds and plans of his former team-mates. On page 950 of his 1348 page, Tragedy and Hope - The History of The World in Our Time, let us know that: There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right, believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's to examine its papers and secret records. Quigley, in his posthumously published expose, The Anglo-American Establishment: The picture is terrifying because such power, whatever the goals at which it is being directed, is too much to be entrusted to any groupNo country that values its safety should allow what [Rhodes-Milner] group accomplished - that is, that a small number of men would be able to wield such a power in administration and politics, should be given almost complete control over the publication of documents relating to their actions, should be able to exercise such influence over the avenues of information that create public opinion, and should be able to monopolize so completely the writing and the teaching of the history of their own period.

[CTRL] Why Isn't Stephen Hatfill in Jail?
-Caveat Lector- Why Isn't Stephen Hatfill in Jail? Maria Tomchick, AlterNet August 13, 2002 Dr. Stephen Hatfill stood before television cameras on Sunday, Aug. 11, and claimed that the FBI investigation into the anthrax mailings was turning his life into a wasteland. Yet if even half of what Hatfill has said about his own past is true, then the FBI has a terrorist in their sights. Several prominent biodefense researchers think Hatfill is the anthrax perpetrator, but that the FBI has balked at arresting him. Some have pointed out that the FBI has been dragging its feet on the case from the first day, because Hatfill is an insider, and that arresting him would not only embarrass the Bush Administration and bring more calumny down on the FBI and CIA, but also expose some nasty secrets about the U.S. biodefense, or more accurately, bioweapons program. On Aug. 1, the FBI, under pressure from Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy (targets of two anthrax letters), searched Dr. Hatfill's apartment near Ft. Detrick for the third time. Hatfill has been interviewed by the FBI four times, undergone a lie detector test, and has now hired two lawyers to represent him. He has also lied about his past, claiming that he was in the U.S. Army Special Forces (he flunked out of Special Forces training after the first month), and he has claimed to have a doctorate in molecular cell biology from the University of Rhodes (but the University has no record of his receiving the degree). There's also a mountain of circumstantial evidence that links him to the anthrax letters. Hatfill is one of about 20 or 30 people in the U.S. with the scientific know- how to safely handle anthrax spores, and who also has had access to a level 3 or 4 hot lab where he could work with powdered anthrax without risking infection. Notably, the anthrax in the letter to Tom Daschle was of such high potency that the list of suspects becomes even smaller. It includes Hatfill and only two or three other people who know how to use a new, efficient weaponizing technique developed only recently by one of Hatfill's close colleagues. Until last year, Hatfill had a security clearance and access to the labs at Ft. Detrick in Maryland, where he was employed until 1999. He left Ft. Detrick to work for a government contractor, SAIC Corp., but his security clearance remained valid until Aug. 23, 2001, allowing him continued access to government labs. According to coworkers, when the Pentagon revoked his security clearance for undisclosed reasons, Hatfill became furious. Hatfill's colleagues have reported that he lost his security clearance because he failed a lie detector test, specifically when asked questions about his service in the late 1970s with a secret, undercover military unit of the white, racist Rhodesian government. The Selous Scouts were notorious for using chemical and biological warfare against the black independence fighters in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and against the black civilian population of Rhodesia (who occasionally gave material help to the opposition). Historians have documented that the Selous Scouts seeded rivers with cholera, used the chemical toxins warfarin and thallium, sold parathion-laced clothing to opposition fighters and civilians alike, poisoned reservoirs and wells, and were almost certainly responsible for causing the world's largest anthrax outbreak, which sickened over 10,000 people and killed 182. When Hatfill failed his lie detector test, he complained that the people administering the test were amateurs and that they couldn't understand what he and other Cold Warriors had to do in Rhodesia. Of course, Hatfill may have been lying about his work with the Selous Scouts, just as he lied about his Special Forces training; nevertheless, his statements provide valuable clues to his mental state and his aspirations. A recent article in The Sunday Mirror newspaper of Zimbabwe describes Hatfill as a medical student of Dr. Robert Burns Symington, the man credited with developing Rhodesia's chemical weapons. In fact, Hatfill did attend medical school in Zimbabwe, where he lived near the Greendale Primary School in the capital city of Harare. The anthrax letters mailed last fall to Senators Daschle and Leahy bore the phony return address, Greendale School in Trenton, NJ. The Greendale School in Harare was once named after the man who founded the Selous Scouts, Hatfill's favorite military squad. Other details of Hatfill's resume are equally troublesome. After he graduated from medical school in 1983, Hatfill left Zimbabwe for South Africa, following in the tracks of many former white Rhodesian mercenaries who longed to work for a white employer. Hatfill has boasted that he joined the South African Defense Forces' Medical Service unit (SAMS) under the former apartheid government. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the SAMS' 7th Battalion developed an extensive chemical and biological warfare program which it deployed in the war
[CTRL] Ramsey Clark's Letter to UN. Re: Iraq Bush's Fascist Overtures
-Caveat Lector- *The following letter by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark has been sent to all members of the UN Security Council, with copies to the UN General Assembly and Senator Biden of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Please circulate.* International Action Center http://www.iacenter.org Founded by Ramsey Clark July 29, 2002 Dear Ambassador, Any remaining hope the peoples of the United Nations have to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war through the United Nations would be crushed by another United States attack on Iraq. Threats to attack, invade and overthrow the government of Iraq by President George Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, various cabinet officers and Pentagon officials have been routine for a year. The psychological warfare is itself a crime against peace and violates the U.N. Charter. Today's front-page headline story in the New York Times, U.S. Exploring Baghdad Strike As Iraq Option, is typical of the in terrorem intention of the threats. The danger to civilian life in Baghdad from such a strike would be enormous. THE UNITED NATIONS MUST ACT TO PREVENT AN ATTACK BY THE UNITED STATES AGAINST IRAQ If the United Nations is unable to restrain the United States, a permanent member of the Security Council, from committing crimes against peace and humanity as well as war crimes against a nation that has already been violated by the U.S. beyond endurance, then what is the United Nations worth? At the very least, opposition to any attack or attempt to overthrow the government of Iraq by force must be publicly expressed by the United Nations. THE UNITED STATES BOMBED DEFENSELESS IRAQ MERCILESSLY FOR FORTY-TWO DAYS IN 1991 The U.S. led and glorified the massive assault on Iraq in January and February 1991. The Pentagon announced it conducted 110,000 aerial sorties against the defenseless cradle of civilization, dropping 88,500 tons of bombs. The widespread bombing destroyed the economic viability of the civilian society throughout the nation. It killed tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens and others. A major part of the bombing was directed at civilians and civilian facilities. It was less accurate than the recent indiscriminate attacks in Afghanistan. U.S. bombs destroyed Iraqi water systems, electric power transmission, communications, transportation, manufacturing, commerce, agriculture, poultry and livestock, food storage facilities, markets, fertilizer and insecticide production, business centers, archeological and historical treasures, apartment houses, residential areas, schools, hospitals, mosques, churches and synagogues. The Pentagon stated its casualties were 156. One third were from friendly fire; the rest were accidental. The U.S. had no combat casualties. THE UNITED STATES FORCED THE IMPOSITION OF GENOCIDAL SANCTIONS ON IRAQ IN 1990 The U.S. crafted economic sanctions against Iraq which the Security Council approved on August 6, 1990, the 45th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima. Those sanctions are the direct cause of the very cruel deaths of more than a million people. This is the greatest crime against humanity, in the last decade of the most violent century in history. Each painful death of an individual wasting away?from malnutrition; Kwashiorkor; the rush of dehydration from contaminated water and from diseases was preventable. The sanctions continue to this time to cause hundreds of deaths each day. Every United Nations agency dealing with food, health and children--including FAO, WFP, WHO, UNICEF--has proclaimed the horror, magnitude and responsibility for this human catastrophe. The great majority of the deaths caused by the sanctions are infants, children, the elderly, the chronically ill and emergency medical cases. These are the people most vulnerable to polluted water, malnutrition, and the lack of medicines and medical equipment and supplies. U.S. claims that it is the Iraqi government that is responsible for deaths from shortages of food and medicine are false. The U.S. blocked oil sales by Iraq for six years before appearing to yield to humanitarian pleas to permit oil sales to purchase food and medicine. Since 1997, when sales began, it has effectively frustrated and delayed the Oil for Food program, which does not provide sufficient income at the levels approved to stop the daily deterioration of health and growing death rates in Iraq. Before sanctions there was virtually no malnutrition in Iraq and free hospital, health services and medicines were a model for the region. Its present system of government distribution of available food staples is a model of fairness and efficiency, lacking only in quantity and variety of food. UNITED STATES MILITARY AIRCRAFT HAVE ATTACKED IRAQ AT WILL FOR ELEVEN YEARS The U.S. has engaged in air strikes against Iraq at will since March 1991, when the massive
[CTRL] Judge Questions Detention of American in War Case
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: International Justice Watch Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Kelly Dawn Askin Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 10:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Judge Questions Detention of American in War Case NY Times Online News Report August 14, 2002 Judge Questions Detention of American in War Case By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 13 The government's decision to hold war captives indefinitely without charges, without bail and without access to lawyers was on trial here today in a squat concrete courthouse. The case is that of Yaser Esam Hamdi, 21, born in Baton Rouge, La.; raised in Saudi Arabia; and seized on the Afghan battlefield before being sent to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. He was transferred to the Navy brig here on April 5, after officials had confirmed that he is an American. The government has argued, and it argued again here today, that in this unconventional war on terrorism Mr. Hamdi is an enemy combatant. As such, the government says, even though he is a citizen, he has no right to a lawyer. In fact, enemy combatants, as the government defines them, have none of the rights afforded ordinary criminal defendants or even foreigners who might face military tribunals. The judge, Robert G. Doumar of Federal District Court, had little patience with the government's position. In a display of judicial authority over the lawyers in his courtroom, he verbally cuffed the government lawyers, rarely giving them a break. Judge Doumar bombarded an assistant to the solicitor general, Gregory G. Garre, with questions and, quickly finding that Mr. Garre would not be forthcoming, barely waited for a reply. So, the Constitution doesn't apply to Mr. Hamdi? the judge snapped. Mr. Garre studiously avoided answering yes or no, which frustrated the judge and prompted him to pound the lawyer with more questions. So exasperated with Mr. Garre's lack of responses, the judge blurted out, Why am I here? To that question, Mr. Garre tried an answer. He said that the courts have a role in determining what to do with captives, but that it was limited, a role that belongs more fully to the president. The case appears to be the first in modern American jurisprudence in which an American citizen has been indefinitely detained without charges and without access to a lawyer. As such, it is rapidly becoming the test case for whether the courts and, eventually, the Supreme Court will sanction such detentions. The answer could well determine whether the United States continues to detain additional people in that way and could guide how the country goes about conducting the war on terrorism. Michael Greenberger, a counterterrorism expert in the Justice Department under President Bill Clinton who is director of the Center for Health and Homeland Security at the University of Maryland, said the government had been embarrassed by the open court cases of John Walker Lindh and Zacarias Moussaoui and was looking for a precedent-setting case under which it could hold captives without lawyers' interference. In a report critical of the government's posture in Mr. Hamdi's case, the American Bar Association warned that it could lead to the indefinite detentions of other Americans, leaving detainees with fewer rights and protections than those who have been charged with serious criminal offenses. This is the new way to fight terrorism, said Frank Dunham Jr., the public defender appointed to represent Mr. Hamdi, although he has never met or talked with him. There is no other case where a person has been denied access to his counsel. This could set a precedent for anyone being held on executive say-so. The Hamdi case has bounced around in the Fourth Judicial Circuit for several months. Although the appeals court has sided with the government, Judge Doumar retains some hold over the case and has been highly critical of the government, as he was today. The technical reason for the two hours of oral arguments was to determine the value of a two-page statement from Michael H. Mobbs, identified as a special adviser to the under secretary of defense for policy. The statement, the Mobbs declaration, was the basis for determining that Mr. Hamdi was an enemy combatant. Judge Doumar, who is to decide whether the statement provided a sufficient explanation, said he would announce his decision in a few days. But from the bench he made very clear that he found the statement lacking in nearly every respect. It had little detail specifying what exactly Mr. Hamdi had done. It said that Mr. Hamdi was captured during hostilities but did not say what he was doing. It said Mr. Hamdi was determined by the U.S. military screening team to meet the criteria for enemy combatants, but did not say what the criteria were, who was on the team and why it reached that conclusion. The judge also complained that the statement never explained why Mr. Hamdi had been moved here. I'm
[CTRL] Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft's Hellish Vision
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: American Patriot Friends Network [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 12:44 AM To: APFN Yahoogroups; APFN SMARTGROUP Subject: Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft's Hellish Vision Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft's Hellish Vision Attorney general shows himself as a menace to liberty. By Jonathan Turley Jonathan Turley is a professor of constitutional law at George Washington University. http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/08.15B.ashcr.camps.htm Los Angeles Times Wednesday, 14 August, 2002 Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft's announced desire for camps for U.S. citizens he deems to be enemy combatants has moved him from merely being a political embarrassment to being a constitutional menace. Ashcroft's plan, disclosed last week but little publicized, would allow him to order the indefinite incarceration of U.S. citizens and summarily strip them of their constitutional rights and access to the courts by declaring them enemy combatants. The proposed camp plan should trigger immediate congressional hearings and reconsideration of Ashcroft's fitness for this important office. Whereas Al Qaeda is a threat to the lives of our citizens, Ashcroft has become clear and present threat to our liberties. The camp plan was forged at an optimistic time for Ashcroft's small inner circle, which has been carefully watching two test cases to see whether this vision could become a reality. The cases of Jose Padilla and Yaser Esam Hamdi will determine whether U.S. citizens can be held without charges and subject to the arbitrary and unchecked authority of the government. Hamdi has been held without charge even though the facts of his case are virtually identical to those in the case of John Walker Lindh. Both Hamdi and Lindh were captured in Afghanistan as foot soldiers in Taliban units. Yet Lindh was given a lawyer and a trial, while Hamdi rots in a floating Navy brig in Norfolk, Va. This week, the government refused to comply with a federal judge who ordered that he be given the underlying evidence justifying Hamdi's treatment. The Justice Department has insisted that the judge must simply accept its declaration and cannot interfere with the president's absolute authority in a time of war. In Padilla's case, Ashcroft initially claimed that the arrest stopped a plan to detonate a radioactive bomb in New York or Washington, D.C. The administration later issued an embarrassing correction that there was no evidence Padilla was on such a mission. What is clear is that Padilla is an American citizen and was arrested in the United States--two facts that should trigger the full application of constitutional rights. Ashcroft hopes to use his self-made enemy combatant stamp for any citizen whom he deems to be part of a wider terrorist conspiracy. Perhaps because of his discredited claims of preventing radiological terrorism, aides have indicated that a high-level committee will recommend which citizens are to be stripped of their constitutional rights and sent to Ashcroft's new camps. Few would have imagined any attorney general seeking to reestablish such camps for citizens. Of course, Ashcroft is not considering camps on the order of the internment camps used to incarcerate Japanese American citizens in World War II. But he can be credited only with thinking smaller; we have learned from painful experience that unchecked authority, once tasted, easily becomes insatiable. We are only now getting a full vision of Ashcroft's America. Some of his predecessors dreamed of creating a great society or a nation unfettered by racism. Ashcroft seems to dream of a country secured from itself, neatly contained and controlled by his judgment of loyalty. For more than 200 years, security and liberty have been viewed as coexistent values. Ashcroft and his aides appear to view this relationship as lineal, where security must precede liberty. Since the nation will never be entirely safe from terrorism, liberty has become a mere rhetorical justification for increased security. Ashcroft is a catalyst for constitutional devolution, encouraging citizens to accept autocratic rule as their only way of avoiding massive terrorist attacks. His greatest problem has been preserving a level of panic and fear that would induce a free people to surrender the rights so dearly won by their ancestors. In A Man for All Seasons, Sir Thomas More was confronted by a young lawyer, Will Roper, who sought his daughter's hand. Roper proclaimed that he would cut down every law in England to get after the devil. More's response seems almost tailored for Ashcroft: And when the last law was down and the devil turned round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? ... This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast ... and if you cut them down--and you are just the man to do it--do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?

Even IF [Social Security] is partially privatized, law-makers will have to consider raising taxes to ensure there is enough money for baby boomers to retire on. Bush's Plan For Social Security Loses Favor Some GOP Candidates Resist Partial Privatization By Jim VandeHei and Juliet Eilperin Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, August 13, 2002; Page A01 President Bush's campaign to allow Americans to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in the stock market is losing support among Republican congressional candidates, as Wall Street's sinking prices reinforce concerns about the proposal. Amid sharp attacks by the Democratic Party, several GOP incumbents and challengers are coming out against Bush's plan to privatize partially the popular, taxpayer-funded retirement program. Fueling the shift is the stock market's recent plunge, which has reminded voters of the risks of investing in stocks, rather than in other financial instruments that guarantee safe but modest returns. The president continues to call for giving workers the right to direct a portion of their Social Security payroll taxes to stocks or other investments by creating personal savings accounts. Bush first extolled the plan near the peak of the last decade's remarkable bull market; he says Wall Street's frequently impressive returns should boost Social Security as well as nongovernment retirement programs. In some cases, GOP lawmakers such as Reps. George W. Gekas (Pa.) and Charles W. Chip Pickering Jr. (Miss.) are opposing Bush's proposal after praising it in the past. At least three Republican congressional challengers -- Rick Clayburgh (N.D.), William J. Janklow (S.D.) and Jon Porter (Nev.) -- have disavowed the idea of private accounts. Many other Republicans are playing down previous endorsements of privatizing all or part of Social Security as a way to bolster the system before it goes broke. This retreat complicates Bush's campaign to revamp Social Security in the next Congress, which was a formidable challenge from the start. It also provides the latest example of how corporate scandals and the recent stock market swoon are altering public policy debates. If this signals the start of a broader defection, it could put pressure on congressional Republicans in the years ahead to articulate a new strategy for change. Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.), author of a bipartisan bill to create individual savings accounts, said some colleagues are running for cover, making it more difficult

Thomson Jr., a Far Eastern specialist in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations who left government in 1966 because of his opposition to the United States' growing involvement in the Vietnam War, died on Sunday in Newton, Mass. He was 70 and lived in Cambridge, Mass. The cause was respiratory failure and cardiac arrest, his family said. After leaving the government, where he worked for the State Department and the National Security Council, Mr. Thomson taught in the history department at Harvard. He later became curator of the Nieman Foundation, which awards yearlong fellowships at Harvard for midcareer journalists, serving from 1972 to 1984. He later taught international relations, history and journalism at Boston University. He retired in 1997. In 1968, Mr. Thomson published an indictment of the government's Vietnam policy in the Atlantic Monthly called How Could Vietnam Happen? The article won an Overseas Press Club award for the best magazine reporting on foreign affairs and has been reprinted in several anthologies about the war. He also wrote frequently about the East Asia, advocating greater ties between the United States and China. He was the author of While China Faced West (Harvard University Press, 1969), and was an author with Peter W. Stanley and John Curtis Perry of Sentimental Imperialists (Harper Row, 1981). James Claude Thomson Jr. was born on Sept. 14, 1931, in Princeton, N.J. He said his views on Asia were shaped by a boyhood spent in China, where his father taught science and chemistry at a college in Nanjing. He received a bachelor's degree from Yale in 1953 and a doctorate from Harvard in 1961. Mr. Thomson's wife, the former Diana Butler, died in 2000.

-Caveat Lector- This article from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] Genome Pioneer Will Start Center of His Own August 15, 2002 By ANDREW POLLACK J. Craig Venter, who raced government-financed researchers to decode the human genome then was ousted from the company he made famous, plans to create a huge laboratory that would rival efforts by his former company and his public competitors. Dr. Venter is to announce today that he plans to build what he believes will be the nation's largest genome sequencing center, one that will introduce new technology that vastly decreases the time and cost required to determine the DNA code of people, animals and microbes. Our goal is to get to where we can do a whole genome analysis in minutes or hours, in contrast to months or years, Dr. Venter said in an interview. The center could move Dr. Venter back into the center of the genomics world, a position he had until January when he was forced to resign from Celera Genomics, the company he helped found to sequence the human genome in an often acrimonious race with the publicly financed Human Genome Project. But this time, he said, the sequencing center will be not-for-profit, making its information freely available instead of selling it like Celera did. You could look at this as him building something new in the public sector that had the mission that he wanted Celera to follow, said Gerald Rubin, professor of genetics at the University of California and a vice president of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Venter denied that he was trying to upstage either his former company or his former rivals on the Human Genome Project. It appears, however, that his center will do some of the same things Celera is doing in analyzing genetic variations among people. The center will also compete for federal grants with the university sequencing centers involved in the Human Genome Project. One goal, he said, is to get the cost down to $2,000 to $3,000 to analyze a person's entire genome, compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars it took to determine the first human genome sequence. At that price, probably not reachable for 10 years, it will become practical to tailor medical care to each person based on genetic makeup, he said. One thing that is very clear is that existing technology is not up to any of those tasks, Dr. Venter said. The new sequencing center will be built in Rockville, Md., and run by three nonprofit organizations Dr. Venter started. They are the Institute for Genomic Research, known as TIGR, which is a leader in sequencing microbial genomes, and two new institutes that Dr. Venter set up after leaving Celera. Dr. Venter said the center would cost $20 million to $100 million to build and operate over the first four years. He will provide the initial financing from money he made from Celera and a previous company. But he said the sequencing center would eventually support itself on grants from the federal government and others. Many scientists and companies are trying to lower the cost and raise the speed of genome sequencing, which would allow many more plant and animal species to be sequenced as well as make medical diagnostics and biowarfare agent detection more practical. Scientists at a workshop held recently by the Human Genome Project, for instance, discussed the prospects of achieving the thousand-dollar genome. So while it is unclear yet what impact Dr. Venter will have, some scientists said that given his track record, he should not be counted out. Craig is very good at transformational events, said Trevor Hawkins, senior vice president of Amersham Biosciences, a maker of DNA sequencers, and previously the director of the Department of Energy's genome sequencing center. But Larry Thompson, a spokesman for the National Human Genome Research Institute, which ran the Human Genome Project, played down the development, saying: He's setting up a new laboratory. Lots of companies set up new laboratories all the time. The new sequencing center could be good news for makers of equipment for genetic analysis, whose sales have slowed because the human genome project is nearly finished and because many biotechnology companies are facing financial difficulties. I can't imagine why I would be unhappy that someone wants to create another sequencing center, said Michael W. Hunkapiller, president of Applied Biosystems, a manufacturer of DNA sequencers that is the sister company of Celera. Dr. Hunkapiller discounted the idea that Dr. Venter was trying to compete with his old company, even though Dr. Venter began making his announcement on the day Applied Biosystems was rolling out its newest sequencing machine at a seminar in Boston where some of the leaders of the Human Genome Project were speaking. Dr. Venter said he had not yet decided whether to buy sequencers from Applied Biosystems and said it was just unfortunate timing that his announcement coincided with

[CTRL] The 401(k) scam
-Caveat Lector- From World Socialist Web Site www.wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : North America The 401(k) scam: How American workers have been robbed of their retirement benefits By Elisa Brehm 15 August 2002 Back to screen version| Send this link by email | Email the author A retirement crisis of staggering proportions faces millions of American working people. The plunge in the stock market has profound implications in a country where most pensions and savings are not based on fixed benefits paid by employers, but instead are dependent on voluntary contributions made by workers to be invested on Wall Street. The 401(k), as the plan is known, is literally a do-it-yourself retirement plan completely dependent on the vagaries of the market. With over $7.7 trillion wiped out in two-and-a- half years by the 44 percent fall of Standard Poor 500, many face a shrinking pension or none at all. Unlike a high-powered executive, the average worker has no broker who is constantly following investments, giving tips or advising him or her on the wisest allocations. The 401(k) plan places the responsibility and burden entirely on the worker. Instead, the most common scenario involves ones employer providing a packet of information with a number of funds from which to choose. Oppenheimers Five Star Quest Balanced Value Fund, for example, tells the 401(k) participant that this particular portfolio has large, well established companies that are undervalued by the market, and companies that fundamental analysis identifies as well-managed, solid businesses (emphasis in original). The company at the top of this portfolios list is Worldcom, Inc.! Today 401(k) is a household word, but it was nearly unknown 20 years ago. During the stock market boom of the 1990s the 401(k) was associated with the promise of easy wealth. With the rapid rise of high-tech stocks, many workers saw their contributions grow exponentially. William Wolman and Anne Colamosca, authors of The Great 401(k) Hoax, write, it appeared as a device that made it easy for the average worker to participate in the biggest boom in history. It seemed the 401(k) would be a perpetual wealth machine for each and every member of the great American middle class. A typical case is provided by Paul P.J. Palambo, a long-distance truck driver who will be 62 next month. He started contributing to a 401(k) plan in 1982. He told USA Today, I got in when the getting was good, and it grew from zero to almost $250,000. I said, thats great, I can retire when Im 55. But with the two-and-a-half year fall in the market and the growing economic slump, 401(k)s are causing increasing concern, particularly for those in their 50s. Palambo lost close to $50,000 this year alone, and his predicament is like that of many others: Ive got thousands of shares of mutual funds, and if I sell now, Ive lost it all. Because they have seen their retirement savings wiped out, many people are being forced to work longer years than they ever expected. In the past year the number of people in the workforce 55 or olderthe only age group that is growingjumped 8 percent, to 20 million. These baby-boomers are facing a precarious financial future. Millions have been forced to abandon their plans to retire in their 50s and early 60s to spend their remaining years enjoying an active lifestyle. Now many of these workers will have to work well into their 70s. Many in this age-bracket face the combined strain of paying for college tuition for their children and at the same time taking on the care of older parents. A recent cover story in Time magazine, headlined Will you ever be able to retire, noted that trends were leading to a move backward to the historical normworking until you dropand away from the experiment of the past few decades, the only time in history when healthy people have stopped working for the last 20 or 30 years of their lives. The story of Robert and Kyuja Kafka, recounted in Time magazine, is a common one. The family had saved diligently through a tax-favored college fund, while at the same time saving for their retirement. The Kafkas college and retirement savings have declined in value more than 50 percent. Such college savings plans, which came into wide use three years ago, are not providing much sanctuary. They appeared attractive because the earnings were exempt from federal and some state taxes; so long as the market was rising, assets grew. The problem is that most of these funds are in aggressive growth portfoliosthose that have been hit the hardest, with losses of 30-60 percent. With a college bill of $37,000 for tuition, room and board due this month, the Kafka family is scrambling to find backup plansrefinancing their house to secure a line of credit, applying for student loans, and postponing a home-remodeling project. While the fall in savings due to the stock market losses are causing a huge financial

[CTRL] Attacking the War on Terrorism
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.aim.org/publications/media_monitor/2002/08/15.html Receive FREE updates by email: Attacking the War on Terrorism By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid August 15, 2002 The New York Times has launched a campaign to undermine the U.S. war on terrorism. The Times headline on July 27th declared, In Rare Move, U.N. Reviews a U.S. Attack on Afghans. This was a preview of what the International Criminal Court intends to do. In this case, the U.N. issued a preliminary report about the accidental bombing of civilians. The report was requested by the U.N. special representative in Afghanistan, Lakhdar Brahimi, who has no authority or mandate to evaluate U.S. military operations. The U.N. report accuses the U.S. of a cover- up. A July 21st front page New York Times story set the stage. It carried the headline, Flaws in U.S. Air War Left Hundreds of Civilians Dead. One of the sources was a left-wing activist group that favored Cuban Communist intervention in Africa. The Times said the deaths stemmed from poor intelligence and a reluctance to commit more ground troops to the war. But Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld responded that the American bombing campaign in Afghanistan may be the most accurate ever undertaken, resulting in fewer deaths of innocent civilians than any air war in history. But a July 29th New York Times article continued the drumbeat. It was headlined: U.S. Denies Cover Up in Afghan Village Bombing. The charges are reminiscent of when Senator Joseph Biden called for a stop in bombing in Afghanistan after only two weeks and two days. He suggested that it was better for American soldiers to go cave to cave, mano to mano, or man to man. Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that unless the bombing of Afghanistan ends sooner rather than later, America risked looking like a high-tech bully. Every moment it goes on, it makes the aftermath problems more severe, he said. Biden said images of civilian casualties from the bombing made it harder to convince Muslims around the world that Americans are fighting terrorists, not Afghans. Biden laid the groundwork for those critics making charges of war crimes against U.S. troops. Biden, who himself avoided military service, said the American people were ready for a massive commitment of ground forces in Afghanistan. I think the American public is prepared for a long siege, he said. I think the American public is prepared for American losses. Ray Clatworthy, who is opposing Biden in the Senate race in Delaware, responded, In my four years at the U.S. Naval Academy and my five years flying jets in the United States Marine Corps, we were never advised to lay aside strategic advantage to appease world opinion. Our soldiers are just too important. I will never sacrifice one American life for world opinion. As the father of a son who wears our countrys uniform, I find Joe Bidens lapse in judgment offensive. Does anyone in this room think Joe Biden would have suggested this strategy if it were his boys going cave to cave? Today, Joe Biden is presiding over hearings about a war with Iraq. He is a strong supporter of an invasion that could require a quarter of a million U.S. troops. Some say 30,000 American soldiers could die.

[CTRL] Carbon dioxide turned into hydrocarbon fuel
-Caveat Lector- copied from http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns2620 Carbon dioxide turned into hydrocarbon fuel 16:0002August02 Exclusive from New Scientist Print Edition A way to turn carbon dioxide into hydrocarbons has caused a big stir at an industrial chemistry conference in New Brunwick, New Jersey. Nakamichi Yamasaki of the Tokushima Industrial Technology Center in Japan says he has a process that makes propane and butane at relatively low temperatures and pressures. Making fuel from greenhouse gases While his work still needs independent verification, if he can make even heavier hydrocarbons, it might be possible to make petrol. It has carbon chains that are between five and 12 atoms long - butane is four atoms long. The work suggests the tantalising prospect that CO2, the main greenhouse gas, could be recycled instead of being pumped into the atmosphere. Many people have tried before to make hydrocarbons by mixing carbon with hydrogen gas in a reaction chamber at very high temperatures, but yields have always been pitiful. Yamasaki has used hydrochloric acid as his source of hydrogen ions. He bubbles the CO2 into a reaction vessel (see graphic) where it is heated to about 300 °C at 100 times atmospheric pressure. The heat and pressure are low enough, says Yamasaki, to make it feasible to scale up the reaction so it can run on a power station's waste heat. Iron powder Using iron powder as a catalyst, Yamasaki says he has made substantial amounts of methane, ethane, propane and butane, which he was able to vent off as gases when the mixture cooled. If he can improve the catalyst's performance he is hopeful of making heavier hydrocarbons such as petrol, too. William Siegfried, who has lead similar experiments at the University of Minnesota in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, says his group was only able to make methane at far higher temperatures. But his process also used a nickel-based alloy as a catalyst, rather than iron. Siegfried's group was investigating whether natural methane deposits might have formed chemically with the metal in rocks acting as a catalyst rather than forming from the decay of rotting biological material over aeons.

"Organisms have a special talent for that kind of reaction," says Siegfried.
[CTRL] Bush Demands Broad Homeland Powers
-Caveat Lector- Bush Demands Broad Homeland Powers Thu Aug 15, 3:02 PM ET By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated Press Writer MOUNT RUSHMORE NATIONAL MEMORIAL, S.D. (AP) - With four presidents staring down at him and one potential rival, Tom Daschle, looking on, President Bush ( news - web sites) on Thursday demanded broad authority to oversee the new Homeland Security Department. I don't want our hands tied so we cannot do the number one job you expect, which is to protect the homeland, Bush said. Just off to Bush's right was Daschle, the Senate majority leader who has clashed with Bush on how much flexibility Bush should have over the proposed department's personnel. Daschle, a Democrat who represents this state, is also considering challenging Bush in 2004. The White House invited Daschle to the event, and Bush went out of his way to welcome him in opening remarks. But Bush also shouted at times, and seemed to look directly at Daschle occasionally, as he outlined an agenda that Daschle has frequently bottled up on Capitol Hill. The president carried a message of economic optimism here, and reviewed his plans for spurring the economy through increased trade, lower taxes and a crackdown on corporate corruption. Slowly but surely, the American people are understanding that this future is a bright future for us, that economic security will spread its wings throughout all our society, Bush said. Daschle applauded Bush's call for an agriculture-friendly trade policy and his praise of ethanol, which can come from South Dakota-grown corn, as a fuel source. But he did not join other audience members who clapped when Bush said the inheritance tax phase-out must be made permanent. During Bush's call for lower taxes, an audience member shouted to Daschle, Hear that, Tommy? After Bush's speech, Daschle called Bush's economic plan a prescription for greater deficits and greater uncertainty. Bush's trip was unusual for its absence of a political fund raiser, but politics were on full display here. Bush appeared with Rep. John Thune ( news, bio, voting record), the Republican trying to unseat Sen. Tim Johnson ( news, bio, voting record), D-S.D. A film crew taped a commercial of Bush and Thune beneath the towering monument. The Senate will make establishing a Homeland Security Department its top priority when it returns from a monthlong August recess, but neither Bush nor Daschle gave any indication that a break in the deadlock is near. While the Senate and White House agree on most details of the new agency, Bush has threatened to veto any measure that does not give him the flexibility he seeks in the department's hiring and spending. Democrats oppose Bush's request for personnel flexibility in the proposed Cabinet agency, saying it amounts to an assault on union collective bargaining and the civil service system. Bush said he needed broad powers on organizational and spending issues. It's not just me, it's future presidents (who) need the capacity to be able to pay people according to their contributions and hold people to account for their performance, both good and bad, he said. But Daschle said nothing in the Senate bill was detrimental to protecting homeland security. What we simply want to do is to protect the rights of workers and to ensure that there is a process involved where careful consideration of spending can be accomplished, he said. Bush likened the challenges posed by the struggling economy and by terrorism to those overcome by pioneers who settled this area. Standing here at Mount Rushmore reminds us that a lot of folks came before us to make sure that we were free, Bush said. A lot of predecessors faced hardship and overcame those hardships, because we're Americans. And that's what's going to happen in this era, too. Bush met privately with farmers and ranchers in a stone building once used by Mount Rushmore's sculptor, Gutzon Borglum. Bush often laces his speeches with patriotic references, but they seemed to have deeper resonance with the likenesses of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt looming overhead. The four presidents face different directions; Lincoln gazed directly down at Bush. As he arrived here, Bush's helicopter swooped past the monument at the presidents' eye level. Gesturing toward the monument, he said: More and more people understand that being a patriot is more than just putting your hand over your heart and saying the Pledge Allegiance to a nation under God. Later, Bush flew back to his Texas ranch, where he resumed a monthlong working vacation. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator. -GW Bush during a photo-op with Congressional leaders on 12/18/2000.

[CTRL] 10 Reasons Why he wants to go to Iraq
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.democrats.com/display.cfm?id=165 Bush's Top 10 Lies, Exaggerations And 'Obsfucations' About His Military Service by Nancy Skinner co-host of Ski Skinner on WLS-AM Chicago Governor Bush has made credibility the central issue of this campaign, and makes almost daily references to the Vice Presidents alleged exaggerations and lack of truthfulness. But on a subject that could not be more important for his presidential candidacy, his own military service, the record shows that George W. Bush has exaggerated and even lied about his service. Governor Bush took a solemn oath during wartime to serve his country in the Texas Air National Guard. He did not honor that oath He walked away. And in this presidential campaign, he has made several misrepresentations about his service. A number of newspaper reports and even more accounts on Internet websites, based on Freedom Of Information Act requests of Bushs official military record, have concluded that he completely missed at least one year of service, and may not have shown up in person for his last year. While those reports continue to be debated, the following statements by Bush and his aides are directly contradicted by the current record. #1 Bush never showed up in Alabama Air National Guard when directly ordered to do so, after requesting a transfer to work in Alabama. I was there on a temporary assignment and fulfilled my weekends at one period of time Bush said during a campaign stop in Tuscaloosa, AL, referring to his claim that he served in the Alabama National Guard. [Dallas Morning News, 6/26/00] He specifically recalls pulling duty in Alabama, spokesman Dan Bartlett said of Bush. He did his drills. Bartlett said the Republican governor showed up several times while in Alabama, where he transferred from his Houston Guard unit in 1972 to work for the unsuccessful Senate campaign of Republican Winton Blount, a friend of Bush's father. [Washington Post 6/25/00] The Truth Bush left Houston May 15, 1972 and went to work on a political campaign in Alabama. His first request for a transfer on May 24 was denied because the unit was inactive. His second request on September 5 to a different unit was granted. He was issued a direct order to report on specific days to the base, which he completely ignored. The order was issued on September 15 to report to then-Lieutenant Colonel William Turnipseed at Dannelly Air Force base in Montgomery, AL, on the dates of 7-8 October 0730-1600, and 4-5 November 0730-1600 His orders, dated Sept. 15, 1972, said: Lieutenant Bush should report to Lt. Col. William Turnipseed, DCO, to perform equivalent training. [Boston Globe 5/23/00] http://www.cis.net/~coldfeet/doc11.gif · His Commanding Officer, William Turnipseed, says he did not show up. To my knowledge, he never showed up, Turnipseed said last month. [Boston Globe 5/23/00] In interviews last week, Turnipseed and his administrative officer at the time, Kenneth K. Lott, said they had no memory of Bush ever reporting. ''Had he reported in, I would have had some recall, and I do not,'' Turnipseed said. ''I had been in Texas, done my flight training there. If we had had a first lieutenant from Texas, I would have remembered.'' Turnipseed also reports that the then-squadron operations officer of the Alabama Guard also has no recollection of having seen Bush.(The New Republic 10/ 16/2000) Furthermore, a spokesman for the Alabama National Guard estimates there were 600 to 700 members in the unit Bush was supposed to have served with in 1972. But none of these men has ever come forward to say he remembers Bush, and Bush has not named a single one of them.(The New Republic 10/16/2000) · There is no official National Guard record for George W. Bushs service in Alabama. His official discharge records do not include any service after May 15 of 1972. Indeed, Bush's discharge papers list his service and duty station for each of his first four years in the Air Guard. But there is no record of training listed after May 1972, and no mention of any service in Alabama. On that discharge form, Lloyd (Albert Lloyd Jr., a retired colonel who was the Texas Air Guard's personnel director from 1969 to 1995 and was hired by the Bush campaign to make sense of the governor's military records) said, ''there should have been an entry for the period between May 1972 and May 1973.'' Said Lloyd, ''It appeared he had a bad year. He might have lost interest, since he knew he was getting out.'' [Boston Globe 5/23/00] · No one in the Alabama National Guard ever saw him. A spokesman for the Alabama National Guard estimates there were 600 to 700 members in the unit Bush was supposed to have served with in 1972. But none of these men has ever come forward to say he remembers Bush, and Bush has not named a single one of them.

But to my dismay and surprise, not many people are talking about the lives of innocent people that will be lost if and when such action is taken. Whether it is the young American soldiers or innocent Iraqi citizens that will be the victims of this personal war that Bush is determined to get us involved in it. Moreover, such attack might destabilize the Middle East and hurt (socially and financially) the neighboring countries such as: Saudi Arabia, Syria and Jordan, but that does not seem to bother Bush at all. How many people remember the 600 woman and children that were killed in 1991 while hiding in an underground bunker when one bomb dropped by an America war plane- taking orders from Bush, Sr., one early morning in Baghdad? One thing that we will never hear Bush tell the American public is that going into Baghdad, with population of over six million, we will surely be sending the young soldiers into the death trap that will be set up by the Iraqi people. Feeling that they must fight to defend them selves, they will fight to the end. Lets not forget that in their minds it is the American government that has caused the death of one and a half million innocent Iraqi due to the embargo that has been placed on them for over eleven years. When Bush, Sr., the war in 1991, it was not because he loved Iraqi people, but rather he knew that the Iraqi government had distributed a great deal of weapons to its citizens in case the Americans would try to invade the Baghdad and Bush did not want to take that chance. This was a fact and my wife, a recent immigrant from Iraq, had witnessed such actions. She told me that the government of Iraq has found a way to protect its city and people

Communism, Zionism Feminism Share NWO Pedigree. Mankind is entering a New Dark Age, by World-Class Author, Henry Makow Ph.D.
Communism, Zionism Feminism Share NWO Pedigree
By Henry Makow, Ph.D.
George Orwell's vision in "1984" of a nightmarish global police state was not an idle exercise. It was coming true in 1949 when the novel was published. The attack on the World Trade Center Sept. 11, staged with Hollywood flair by NWO controllers, heralded the next phase in this centuries-old plot.
Veteran journalist Douglas Reed, writing in 1951, was also aware: "We might logically assume that a primary object of any Third War, though cloaked at the start, would be the expansion of the Zionist State, and the imposition of a 'world federation' and a new 'management' of mankind. In the aftermath of the Second War such aims, earlier concealed, were much more openly admitted by leading politicians." (Far and Wide, p.291)
In 1913, the shareholders of the Federal Reserve took a major step toward the enslavement of humanity when they finagled the right to create money out of thin air based on the credit of the American people. This monopoly which rightly belongs to Congress, is worth more than $360 billion annually in interest alone. They are doing everything to protect this monopoly (which also extends to Europe), including the establishment of a global police state.
I discovered this mind-boggling intrigue last December when I probed for the reason why the "establishment" actively promotes the socially destructive Marxist lesbian ideology of "feminism."
By "feminism" I am NOT referring to the right of women to fair and equal treatment in the workplace. That is a façade for a far more pernicious agenda, which I discuss elsewhere.(http://www.savethemales.ca/031001.html).
This week I became aware that Communism and Zionism are also part of the same pattern.
If you wanted to enslave humanity, would you announce your intentions?
Rather, you would bait your hook with promises of public ownership, sharing and universal brotherhood. This appeals to the public's naivete, idealism, and self-interest.
At its heart, Communism is a system of social control and oppression dedicated to smashing the pillars of western civilization: nationhood, democracy, Christianity, free enterprise and the nuclear family. It cares for no other principle than raw power and exercises it ruthlessly.
Members of the Comintern referred derisively to people who bought the party line as "innocents." This is the Communist "modus operandi." There is a publicly stated goal (like equal rights) that appeals to everyone. Only the inner circle knows that the true agenda is to subvert social institutions and gain arbitrary power.
The Soviet Union was the banker's original version of the "New World Order" (the Communists used that term). In "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution," which is on line, Antony Sutton describes how the bankers and their allies engineered the Russian Revolution and bankrolled the Soviet Union. (http://reformed-theology.org/html/books/bolshevik_revolution/_)
Because the same financiers control our media and education system, this was news to me. Likewise, it was surprising to learn that Jews dominated Communist Russia from its inception. (http://www.hoffman-info.com/communist.html.)
If you want to undermine the social order, you empower minorities that are ostracized by society. In the Jewish people, the bankers, who were often Jewish themselves, found an ideal instrument for their NWO agenda. In "The Last days of the Romanovs," (1920) Robert Wilton writes, "Taken according to the number of population, the Jews represented one in ten; among the commissars that rule Bolshevik Russia they are nine in ten, if anything the proportion of Jews is still higher." (391)
Marxism appealed to a sublimated religious urge on the part of largely atheistic Jews to "build a better world" on a secular humanist basis. When their usefulness was over, many of these Jews were imprisoned or liquidated. Arthur Koestler is one of many Communist Jewish writers who recorded his disillusionment (see "The God that Failed," "The Invisible Writing, "Darkness at Noon."). Ayn Rand, a Russian Jewess, also denounced Communism and extolled individualism and freedom ("Fountainhead," "Atlas Shrugged").
Nevertheless we don't hear much about atrocities that Jewish Communists perpetrated in the USSR. (http://www.jewwatch.com/jew-occupiedgovernments-USSR.html#anchor1218070.) They attempted to eradicate all vestiges of the traditional Czarist social structure. In the collectivization of the Ukrainian farmers (kulaks), an estimated 10 million people were starved or shot. Millions more died in mass executions in the Baltic, massacres of Cossacks and Volga Germans, in the genocide of three million Muslims, and in Gulag slave labor camps.

[CTRL] Al Martin: The End Of The Bush Cabal? More Consolidation Of Money Power
-Caveat Lector- http://www.almartinraw.com/column67.html The End of the Bush Cabal? More Consolidation of Money and Power by Al Martin (August 14) Donald Rumsfeld has announced that he wants to suppress the special report on Saudi Arabia initiated and paid for by the Department of Defense. It has always been a guideline of Republican Administrations, starting with Richard Nixon, to suppress the truth about Saudi Arabia. This new study actually states that Saudi Arabia is the "kernel of evil," that the Saudi government has supported terrorism at all levels since the 1970s, and that the United States has been aware of this but because of a mutually beneficial relationship has refused to do anything about it. This new study states that Saudi Arabia funds most of the terrorist groups in the Middle East and as the Middle East's major oil producer, it has a vested interest in maintaining perpetual tension in the Middle East. Rumsfeld pointed out that if suddenly there were peace (if American peace initiatives were successful) it would knock $10 off the price of a barrel of oil. You would take out the "uncertainty premium" out of a barrel of oil and Saudi Arabia certainly doesn't want that, considering that the Saudi Royal family has misspent or misappropriated a great deal of Saudi oil revenues over the years. That's why Saudi Arabia currently finds itself in a deficit position - because the Saudi government has so corrupted governmental processes regarding oil revenues. In fact, Republican administrations have a collateral interest in seeing that the price of oil remains high because so much of Republican money comes from domestic oil companies because they need a price of $20 per barrel of crude or better to make a profit. They don't want to see the price of crude sink to $17 a barrel because it would choke off Republican money. I was actually surprised about Rumsfeld's admission of the truth, when he pointed to the report and said that the Saudi regime has taken advantage of the American taxpayers. We have militarily supported Saudi Arabia. We have extended our defense shield to Saudi Arabia. At the same time, Saudi Arabia continues to finance terrorism. Rumsfeld's statement in effect makes it open season on the Saudis. The study points out the entire concept of the 1973 Nixon-Kissinger accord with the Saudis, which encouraged them and other Middle East oil producers including Iraq to sextuple the price of a barrel of oil under the idea of petro-dollar recycling. That was the concept that Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia would recycle their petro-dollars by purchasing high technology weapons systems through US defense contractors in order to become first world nations in terms of their military capability. They were also ever mindful that defense contractors' profits are the most lucrative source of revenue for the Republican Party, oil and gas being the second most lucrative source. Therefore the Nixon-Kissinger policy had a two fold agenda - to jack up the price of oil and to recycle those petro-dollars into enormous defense spending, purchase orders coming from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq to US defense contractors, which in turn would enrich the Republican Party. Does this mean that Rumsfeld is publicly abandoning this policy? I think it does because Rumsfeld was actually critical of the policy. If the current US policy toward Saudi Arabia, that is, to protect and coddle and lie for Saudi Arabia, is no longer continued, then what is likely to happen is that US peace initiatives may actually have a chance in the region. If that happens, we may be able to finally instill some stability in the region, in which case the price of oil is going to fall. On a global level, this policy would increase political volatility and military instability within the Middle East region (that is what the Nixon- Kissinger policy called for) as well as the purposeful increase of tensions in the region in order to enrich the Republican Party in the United States. His speech indicates that Rumsfeld is actually splitting from the Bush Cabal. Perhaps Rumsfeld finally understands that the days of the all- powerful Bush Cabal are coming to an end - and that, in fact, he is hedging his political bets. Both Rumsfeld and Colin Powell act as if they want to remain on the outside of it, shall we say. We are seeing this again and again, and we see this counterweight growing. I believe that there is an increasing feeling in Washington that the days of the Nixon-Kissinger-Schlesinger-Bush Cabal is coming to an end. It would, of course be more encouraging if there were rumblings in the top levels of the military that an invasion of Iraq is a bad idea. Our Department of Defense isn't saying that yet, but all of our allies, like Great Britain, Germany, France, and Netherlands immediately expressed their opposition, when the Bush Regime insisted that our allies were with us on this issue. Even Tony Blair stated that it's
[CTRL] Skolnick: Wal-Mart And The Red Chinese Secret Police - Part 4
-Caveat Lector- http://www.rense.com/general28/skolpmp.htm Wal-Mart And The Red Chinese Secret Police - Part 4 Pumping Up The Stock Market By Sherman H. Skolnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] skolnicksreport.com 8-15-2 The American stock market goes down. And then, suddenly, it jumps way up big! What is happening? Only temporarily? Hey, remember. This IS a bear market. Some attribute these doings to "computer program-trading". That is, stock buying electronically. The difference is when the buying is mysterious in big amounts. To try to understand this, here are some things you need to know. Wal-Mart, through relying heavily on cheap if not slave labor from Red China, has become the largest corporation in the world. When they did not advertise much on the television, the tv pundits occasionally would criticize them, just a little, not too much. At the same time, not adequately publicized in the monopoly press, is the growing number of class action law suits pending against Wal-Mart, or in the process of being pending, in various parts of the United States. Such as, claims that Wal-Mart forces, which they deny, some of their workers to do straighten-out-the-store and do clean-up work, after the end of the workers' shift, without paying for the extra hours and/or required over-time. If proved in Court, these charges could amount to damages against Wal-Mart of hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. Because of the recession that some contended did not exist, if it somehow is over with, the GOP is worried about the year 2002 Congressional Election. Ignored, of course, is the growing vast lay-offs and the looming real estate bust. If Democrats became the majority in the House of Representatives, they might even consider impeachment charges against the White House occupant and resident, George W. Bush, for cranking up a war against Iraq without the legal provisions of the U.S. Constitution. [Will the Election be conducted "just in the usual way" or not? We shall see.] Like President Herbert Hoover, Bush Jr. mouths off words he ought to know are false. Stating, that the United States economy and business are on a "safe and sound basis", or similar terms right out of 1930-31, remembered only by old-timers. How to create an illusion that all is well. that a renewed prosperity is "just around the corner"? Well, temporarily, pump up the Dow Jones 30 Industrials, as a false psychological barometer of business. And how do you do that? Simple. As just a book entry, tens of billions of dollars owed through Wal-Mart, to Red China, are temporarily diverted into Wall Street, with the unseen aid of the Red Chinese Secret Police. On a much smaller scale, but important to that era, similar tricks were done to keep the suckers in place in 1929. [As background, to the illusion created in 1929 by J.P. Morgan Co., and their rotten devices, read "The Great Crash-1929", by J. Kenneth Galbraith.] Some of the reportedly corrupt and bloody deals between Wal-Mart and Red China, and their Secret Police, have been arranged by Prescott S. Bush, Jr., uncle of George W. Bush. Prescott is the brother of Daddy Bush. Prescott has been the head of the United States of America-China Chamber of Commerce, 55 W. Monroe St., Suite 630, Chicago IL 60603. (312) 368-0430 or (312) 368-9022. FAX (312) 368-0418. E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] [And according to published accounts, Prescott has had similar dirty deals with the Japanese mafia, the Yakuza. Put in his name in a good search engine.] Three or more vast, worldwide brokerage/banks are reportedly implicated in this illusion of pumping up the American stock market temporarily with the Wal-Mart-Red Chinese hocus-pocus book entries, including J.P. Morgan Chase (a merger with Rockefeller-owned Chase Manhattan Bank holding firm), Merrill Lynch, and Bear Stearns. And note, J.P. Morgan as an empire, began with being built on the treasonous goings on all the way back to the American Civil War. Morgan sold to the U.S. Army many thousands of knowingly defective rifles, weapons that more often killed the user or blew off their thumbs. [See, "The History of the Great American Fortunes" by Gustavus Myers.] Morgan, as the purchasing agent for the British Monarchy, arranged to fraudulently drag the U.S. into Europe's World War One. These brokerages/banks get away with this. For example, the Federal authorities have been unlawfully sucking hundreds of billions of dollars from the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds, to prevent Morgan from going bankrupt. Morgan has 24 trillion dollars mostly in gold derivatives at a time when the markets went against them. Morgan's purpose has been to try to knock down the upward movement of gold. Merrill Lynch is facing possible bankruptycy from a tidal wave of about to be pending class action suits against them. charging them with giving false information to clients to cover up about-to-be bankrupt companies tied to Merrill's

Who's On PFIAB-A Bush Secret...Or Not? UPDATED
08/14/2002 @ 11:17pm
Who's on Piffiab? Anyone concerned with spying, clandestine actions, and the war on terrorism should care about the answer. But is the Bush Administration, in a break with the past, attempting to keep this important information secret? If so, the administration is doing a rather bad job.
The President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board--usually referred to by its acronym--is a group of prominent citizens who offer advice to the President on sensitive intelligence matters. It was established in 1956 by President Eisenhower, and past chairmen have included former Senator Warren Rudman, former House Speaker Thomas Foley, and former Defense Secretary Les Aspin. In recent years, PFIAB has conducted investigations (often through its Intelligence Oversight Board) of spy-community controversies. It examined lax security at Department of Energy nuclear weapons facilities, CIA involvement with Guatemalan military officials who committed human rights abuses, US intelligence failures in Somalia, and the CIA's cover-its-ass investigation of CIA director John Deutch, who compromised classified information. PFIAB challenged the charge--popular in rightwing circles--that China had stolen nuclear weapons secrets from the United States. ("Possible damage has been minted as probable disaster; workaday delay and bureaucratic confusion has been cast as diabolical conspiracies," a PFIAB report concluded. "Enough is enough.")
Last year, President George W. Bush selected Brent Scowcroft to lead PFIAB. Scowcroft, who was national security adviser to President Bush I, possessed appropriate credentials for the post. But the choice posed problems. Scowcroft, a onetime consultant for the oil industry, a board member of Qualcomm, and a past director of Global and Power Pipelines (an Enron subsidiary involved in projects in China, Guatemala, the Philippines, Argentina and Colombia), runs his own business, the Scowcroft Group, which sells intelligence and other services to globe-trotting corporations in the telecom, aerospace, insurance, energy, financial, electronics and food industries. As head of PFIAB, Scowcroft has access to secret information that could be valuable to his clients and his own business endeavors. Can the public be certain that Scowcroft's business links do not unduly influence his actions as PFIAB chairman or that he does not exploit his PFIAB position to help his clients and his own company? And his close personal relationship to the Bush family could undermine his ability to appear as an independent reviewer of intelligence activities mounted by the Bush administration. Scowcroft, though, recently proved he could take issue with the President by questioning the need to go to war against Iraq.
But Scowcroft does share a dominant trait of the Bush crowd: secrecy. On August 13, I called the PFIAB office and asked for a list of current board members. "That information is provided only on a need-to-know basis," said Roosevelt Roy, PFIAB's administrative assistant. And he meant, of course, that a reporter had no need to know.
I was surprised. As far as I could recall, PFIAB membership has always been public information. In fact, the Clinton Administration posted the names of the members on a PFIAB web page. (Clinton board members included Zoe Baird, the failed attorney general nominee; Sidney Drell, a renowned scientist; Ann Caracristis, former deputy director of the National Security Agency; Robert J. Hermann, a United Technologies executive; and Maurice Sonnenberg, an international businessman.) The Bush White House web page for PFIAB notes the board now has sixteen members and reveals nothing about the identities of any except Scowcroft.
Who determined this information should be secret? I asked Roy. "The chairman has made this need-to-know," he replied. "But it won't be permanent." When should I call back? Within six months, he said.
I took Roy at his word, and I contacted secrecy-in-government experts who expressed their outrage. I called Scowcroft's office and was told he was unavailable. I did a computer search and found that one member's appointment--that of former California Governor Pete Wilson--had been routinely reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune. I checked back with Roy at PFIAB, and he said that, in response to my original request for information, PFIAB might in the near-future consider releasing the identities of the board members. But, he added, "I can't make that final call." I wrote up a story and posted it. (You can read it by clicking on the link below.)
Now here comes the mystery (or joke): after the article hit the website, someone forwarded to me a White House press release, dated October 5, 2001, announcing Bush's intention to appoint fifteen individuals to PFIAB. They were Scowcroft; Pete Wilson; Cresencio Arcos, an

TIPS informant program: On hold or already underway?

Subject: FC: TIPS informaant program: On hold or already underway?
From: Declan McCullagh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Let's get the chronology right. The Sydney Morning
Herald publicized the TIPS informant plan one month ago:http://www.politechbot.com/p-03749.html
Then came the odd Salon report about America's Most Wanted (http://www.politechbot.com/p-03861.html), a suggestion last week that it was mistaken (http://www.politechbot.com/p-03867.html), and a possible explanation (http://www.politechbot.com/p-03879.html).
A top Justice Department official defended TIPS ("We're not looking for a community of snoops") in a presentation to the American Bar Association annual confab over the weekend:http://www.guardian.co.uk/uslatest/story/0,1282,-1939951,00.html
And the Associated Press reported that, because of the controversy, TIPS "will not be put into effect until Congress returns in September. The idea is to allow time for consultation with lawmakers." See:http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/08/10/operation.tips.ap/index.html
But an anonymous Politechnical forwards an article that says otherwise. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the component of the TIPS program aimed at truckers is going forward as scheduled, saying that "2,000 truckers nationwide are authorized to report activity to a toll-free number..." See:http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/3830417.htm
So which is it? Is TIPS on hold or not? Or is the "Highway Watch" program technically unrelated, though practically very, and dangerously, similar?

[CTRL] Massive claim for 11 September attacks (BBC News, Thursday, 15 August, 2002)
-Caveat Lector- --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Dave Bosankoe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Massive claim for 11 September attacks http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2196045.stm Relatives of victims of the 11 September attacks have filed a trillion dollar lawsuit against various parties accusing them of financing Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda terror network and Afghanistan's former Taleban regime. Those accused include the country of Sudan, three members of the Saudi royal family - including the Saudi foreign minister - and various Islamic charities, in addition to seven financial institutions and the Bin Laden family's Saudi construction firm. More than 600 family members, firefighters and rescue workers, calling themselves the 9/11 Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism, are seeking the money to force the sponsors of terror into the light and subject them to the rule of law, according to the suit. It was filed on Thursday morning in the US District Court of the District of Colombia. Exposing financial support BBC correspondents say the lawyers who are launching this case claim hundreds more families of victims of the attacks will join them. So far the suit brings together families of victims from Argentina, Canada, France, Paraguay, South Africa and the United States. They also accused the US Government of failing to pursue such institutions thoroughly enough because of lucrative oil interests. The families acknowledged at a news conference held to publicise the suit that they faced huge odds, but said they were confident the US courts would uphold their claim. It's up to us, and I think we can do it, said Deena Burnett, whose husband was killed on Flight 93 which crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania. It's up to us to bankrupt the terrorists and those who finance them so they will never again have the resources to commit such atrocities against the American people as we experienced on September 11. Lawyer Allan Gerson, who also worked on a lawsuit for families of victims of the 1988 Pan Am airline Lockerbie bombing, said that the suit was aimed at uncovering the complicated financial transactions which funded the 11 September attacks. We're trying to expose the extent, the depth, the orchestration, the financial support that terrorist organisations have received for perhaps a decade from various Saudi interests. --- End forwarded message --- A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] All the Facts About Iraq
-Caveat Lector- http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=13859 All the Facts About Iraq Phyllis Bennis, AlterNet August 15, 2002 Nelson Mandela was right when he said that attacking Iraq would be a disaster. A U.S. invasion of Iraq would risk the lives of U.S. military personnel and inevitably kill thousands of Iraqi civilians; it is not surprising that many U.S. military officers, including some within the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are publicly opposed to a new war against Iraq. Such an attack would violate international law and the UN Charter, and isolate us from our friends and allies around the world. An invasion would prevent the future return of UN arms inspectors, and cost billions of dollars urgently needed at home. And at the end of the day, an invasion will not insure stability, let alone democracy, in Iraq or the rest of the volatile Middle East region, and will put American civilians at greater risk of hatred and perhaps terrorist attacks than they are today. Purported Links to Terrorism It is now clear that (despite intensive investigative efforts) there is simply no evidence of any Iraqi involvement in the terror attacks of Sept. 11. The most popular theory, of a Prague-based collaboration between one of the 9/11 terrorists and an Iraqi official, has now collapsed. Just two weeks ago, the Prague Post quoted the director general of the Czech foreign intelligence service UZSI (Office of Foreign Relations and Information), Frantisek Bublan, denying the much-touted meeting between Mohamed Atta, one of the 9/11 hijackers, and an Iraqi agent. More significantly, the Iraqi regime's brutal treatment of its own population has generally not extended to international terrorist attacks. The State Department's own compilation of terrorist activity in its 2001 Patterns of Global Terrorism, released May 2002, does not document a single serious act of international terrorism by Iraq. Almost all references are either to political statements made or not made or hosting virtually defunct militant organizations. We are told that we must go to war preemptively against Iraq because Baghdad might, some time in the future, succeed in crafting a dangerous weapon and might, some time in the future, give that weapon to some unknown terrorist group -- maybe Osama bin Laden -- who might, some time in the future, use that weapon against the U.S. The problem with this analysis, aside from the fact that preemptive strikes are simply illegal under international law, is that it ignores the widely known historic antagonism between Iraq and bin Laden. According to the New York Times, Shortly after Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait in 1990, Osama bin Laden approached Prince Sultan bin Abdelaziz al-Saud, the Saudi defense minister, with an unusual proposition. ... Arriving with maps and many diagrams, Mr. Bin Laden told Prince Sultan that the kingdom could avoid the indignity of allowing an army of American unbelievers to enter the kingdom to repel Iraq from Kuwait. He could lead the fight himself, he said, at the head of a group of former mujahadeen that he said could number 100,000 men. Even if bin Laden's claim to be able to provide those troops was clearly false, bin Laden's hostility towards the ruthlessly secular Iraq remained evident. There is simply no evidence that that has changed. The Human Toll While estimates of casualties among U.S. service personnel are not public, we can be certain they will be much higher than in the current war in Afghanistan. We do know, from Pentagon estimates of two years ago, the likely death toll among Iraqi civilians: about 10,000 Iraqi civilians would be killed. And the destruction of civilian infrastructure such as water, electrical and communications equipment, would lead to tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of more civilian deaths, particularly among children, the aged and others of the most vulnerable sectors. We can anticipate that such targeted attacks would be justified by claims of dual use. But if we look back to the last U.S. war with Iraq, we know that the Pentagon planned and carried out attacks knowing and documenting the likely impact on civilians. In one case, Pentagon planners anticipated that striking Iraq's civilian infrastructure would cause Increased incidence of diseases [that] will be attributable to degradation of normal preventive medicine, waste disposal, water purification/ distribution, electricity, and decreased ability to control disease outbreaks. The Defense Intelligence Agency document (from the Pentagon's Gulflink website), Disease Information -- Subject: Effects of Bombing on Disease Occurrence in Baghdad is dated 22 January 1991, just six days after the war began. It itemized the likely outbreaks to include: acute diarrhea brought on by bacteria such as E. coli, shigella, and salmonella, or by protozoa such as giardia, which will affect particularly children, or by rotavirus, which will also affect particularly children. And yet the bombing
