[CTRL] Fwd:WOTS Newsletter- Group 13.
-Caveat Lector- Part 1 of 2 from The World Of The Strange newsletter. #1. Group 13 by David Guyatthttp://www.copi.com/articles/Group13.html It is the number that carries the most occult significance. Throughout Europe it has historically been regarded as an ill omen. In Norse mythology, the number 13 often signifies death. Today, in the United Kingdom, there exists a paramilitary unit called Group 13. The sole purpose of this ultra secretive unit is deniable assassination and it operates in the world of shadows. So little is known about them, that it is exceptionally hard to document its activities with any certainty. One individual - a former intelligence undercover agent - contacted by The X Factor(a magazine), recounted his story of a encounter with Group 13. Gary Murray, author of Enemies of the State, had decided to research Group 13 to write a book on them. He soon changed his mind. One day during his research phase he was forcibly dragged in to the back of a Transit van and had a gun stuck to his head. A voice told him it would be unwise to continue his project. Sensibly, he decided to abandon the project and instead write a book on an altogether different subject. Group 13 is generally believed to have evolved from former SAS soldiers and Security and Intelligence operatives who were once active in Northern Ireland during the mid to late nineteen seventies when a Labour Government was still in power. Fred Holroyd, a Captain in British Army Intelligence, served in Northern Ireland during this period. Holroyd was tasked with developing informers and other human intelligence sources connected to the IRA. It was inherently dangerous work, made a lot worse by a viscous turf battle between MI5 and MI6 for control of the Northern Ireland "patch." Matters grew increasingly nasty as "assets" for each of the two contending groups were tossed to the wolves. Holroyd, when interviewed by The X Factor, outlined some details of this dirty war, recalled incidents where bombs were placed by one of these factions and then roundly blamed on the IRA. Holroyd's story and later disgraceful treatment at the hands of the British Army are recounted in his book "War without Dishonour." Holroyd's account sheds light on the so called "Shoot to Kill" policy in Northern Ireland that resulted in the dysfunctional investigation of former senior police officer, John Stalker. This investigation ultimately resulted in the gripping feature film: Hidden Agenda. The Special Air Service was formed during World War II by David Sterling with the intention to operate behind enemy lines and to perform acts of sabotage and assassination. By 1969, the SAS had been sent to Northern Ireland to perform covert operations against the IRA - which included assassination. To cover their deployment to this politically sensitive area they chose the guise of "training teams." A succession of cover names was used over the next few years; these included the Military Reconnaissance Force (MRF), the 14th Intelligence unit, and the Four Field Survey Troop, Royal Engineers. Fred Holroyd states that the latter was very definitely a SAS undercover unit stationed at the Royal Engineers base at Castiledillon, Armagh. 1974 was a critical year in British politics. It saw the election victory of the Labour Party in February and was soon followed by rumours of an impending coup d'etat. Right wing groups operating in the shadows of power began to form themselves. These groups saw Premier Harold Wilson and certain members of his Cabinet, as no holds barred communists taking orders from Moscow. The idea that Wilson was a communist mole is, even by today's paranoid delusions, a farcical belief. At that time, however, planning for a right wing coup was seen by these extremists as the only alternative to keeping Britain from the wily grasp of Moscow. One of these groups was named GB75, and was organised by David Sterling, founder of the SAS. Significantly, GB75 and the other groups had close contacts to the British security and intelligence community, from which they probably received some form of unofficial succour. Founded in 1970 was another mysterious group which called itself Resistance and Psychological Operations Committee (RPOC). RPOC was established in line with the Reserve Forces Association and was said to be a reflection of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) - a World War II dirty tricks operation. According to one former member, RPOC had a clandestine section which formed an underground resistance movement in the event Russia invaded the United Kingdom. With a nod and a wink of the Conservative government of the day, it forged close links to the British security and intelligence apparatus, and "...formed close links with the SAS...own secret intelligence network." Little is known of the SAS's secret intelligence network, apart from one enlightening publication. Ranulf Fiennes, the Arctic trekker, was a one-time member of the SAS. In his
[CTRL] "in the line of duty." vs. The supremacy clause
-Caveat Lector- Lord Horiuchi of Ruby Ridge By Me [Claire Wolfe] Posted February 16, 1998 Lon Horiuchi's tax-paid attorneys, having maneuvered state manslaughter charges against their client into federal court, now claim the supremacy clause of the Constitution makes all federal employees exempt from all state law, as long as the employees are acting "in the line of duty." The supremacy clause states: "This Constitution and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof...shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." To anyone but a lawyer this merely means that when a state law conflicts with (constitutional) federal law, the federal law will prevail. Idaho's manslaughter laws don't conflict with any federal statutes. Charles Curley, gun-rights activist and legal buff, points out that the lawyers' bold move is actually covered in another section of the Constitution -- and not covered in their favor. This section reads: "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States." A title of nobility isn't just an honorific such as "Sir" or "Lord." The essence of nobility is creation a separate class with innate privileges -- private laws -- of its own. "Laws" that say federal employees have to obey no one and nothing outside their own class clearly enshrine and protect an American nobility. Federal employees have already assumed privileged status by default. If Horiuchi's government attorneys succeed in making their private law official, then we might as well bow down and call Horiuchi what they will have made him: our Lord and Master. In the line of duty In the line of duty is another interesting claim. Horiuchi is immune from state prosecution, his lawyers say, because he was acting in the line of duty. This argument got his case transferred to federal court in the first place. Now, let's see. At Ruby Ridge, in 1992, Horiuchi was ordered to shoot any armed male on sight, whether or not that person was endangering anyone. It's an illegal order, as any schoolchild should know. And it's a highly unorthodox order, as any professional sniper would certainly know. Since the claim, "I vass only following orders!" was demolished at Nuremberg, Horiuchi had both a moral and legal duty to refuse any such order. But let's give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. What did he do next? While nearly a dozen other snipers held their fire, Horiuchi elected to make two shots. He fired the second one into a house full of children -- an absolutely verboten procedure. He fired it through a window in a door. His own debriefing sketch shows he knew there were at least two people on the other side of that window. In other words, he disregarded "duty," "orders" or anything else, and simply decided that anyone in that house was a fair target for his sharpshooting. So, was he operating "in the line of duty" when he decided to kill Vicki Weaver? You be the judge. But it might help to look at some similar, hypothetical situations. Let's say you were being audited and, in the course of examining your receipts, the IRS auditor found evidence you were having an affair. He blackmails you. Line of duty? Well, he found the evidence in the course of an audit, didn't he? And as long as his blackmail was done on IRS time and in the IRS office, by the standard applied by Horiuchi's lawyers, he would be operating "in the line of duty." Let's say BATF agents came to your house in the course of an investigation. One of the agents decided to lift your really cool AR-15 for her personal collection. But she's still operating in the line of duty, isn't she? I mean, she was sent to your house to take your guns and that's what she did. So what if, like Horiuchi, she decided to give a slight personal interpretation to her orders? Line of duty? Sure, why not! And now you're in federal prison and a guard decides to, say, sodomize you with a toilet plunger. Hey, as long as that old guard is on duty, in uniform, and committing his sodomy in the name of keeping order, I guess that would be line of duty. At least by government lawyer standards. Here's an idea: plead guilty This has gone on too long, and the potential damage to freedom from these lawyer tactics is too great. One person has the ability to end this travesty right now: Lon Horiuchi himself. A syndicated columnist wrote, several years ago, that his friend Lon Horiuchi was being misjudged. He said Horiuchi was not the ice-blooded monster he was reputed to be, but was, in fact, more like Randy Weaver than like Janet Reno -- a religious and political conservative who homeschooled his children as a matter of principle. I don't know Horiuchi, but I don't see any reason to disbelieve the columnist, who does know him. So, okay, Lon, if you're such a principled and religious fellow, why don't you just do the right t

This week, Ashnak brings us up to speed on the subliminal mind control and rampant cannibalism employed by TV executives. (Like we don't already know abou that!) Enjoy. "Dear government monitor, the terrorism is coming through simulcast television signals beamed by satellite to play with some of the networks in this country. They have moved up the broadcast time to 8 p.m., but I won't watch CBS or NBC at all now. This subliminal television is brainwashing our children into doing the killing of each other. It is to destroy the brightest minds of our future citizens in this country. "I explained this too you. You know it is very feasible and it is simplicity in itself. Maybe if the government spends more time and resources cleaning up this mess on the airwaves, and less time watching its own citizens, we would have less problems and more surplus tax dollars. Why don't you turn your think tank and your pretender on them. Let Major Tom, your brightest go to work on tracking these subliminal transmissions. I am not going to do the work for you. I am here to observe. This is a test. You are the student, not me. How are you going to score. "Now, I also told you, and have been telling you in letters about the human cannibals that stalk this country. They are not a figment of my imagination. I told you this when Adam's father began trying to find out what happened to his son. Now, Teka was taken from Tacoma, from a bowling alley where my own granddaughter was. It could have been my granddaughter, but I just found that out yesterday. I told you about this last week. She was transported by car down I5 to Portland. She was killed there and her body was shipped by plane to New York City. There she was served up by a Television Network head at a banquet. "He promises his performers the fountain of youth. The think "You are what you eat. If you eat young, beautiful children, that's what you become." Well, that's a lie, but they do it anyway. Now, investigate, track, find, and indict. I'm not going to help you with any other problems, and neither are my allies until you physically get off your butts and get working on these issues. That's a promise you can carve in Granite. "However, I can keep informing the public what lengths it's government goes to to gain power and to keep big money dragging in the gold. I can also keep the income of those who can afford to buy human children for food down so they can't buy so many, and you know I can. I am not alone in doing this." -- All rants are printed as is, with spelling and grammar goofs left uncorrected.

Holy Spooks: CIA's "Bible Lesson on Spying" In times of crisis, some people turn to a higher power for solace and guidance. When the Central Intelligence Agency's public standing hit the skids in the mid 1970s, one officer delved into scripture for insight on the ethics of "inherently insidious spying." The result, a study called "A Bible Lesson on Spying," appeared in the CIA's classified spy journal, Studies in Intelligence. Is it a sin to spy?

And amidst all the wackiness, he even had time to debate the soft, squishy parts of the MJ-12 controversy with Bob and Ryan Wood. Is "Majestic Twelve" all just a hoax? Is it a covert disinformation operation? Are the space brothers a-fixin' to "evolve" humanity to the next step of quantum evolution?

The trouble with devolution ("balkanization") is, once it gets
started, it has no bottom floor. There has already been discussion in recent
years of northern California "seceding" from southern California, so great
are the "cultural" differences between the two. However, any "sovereign
state" created in northern California --California being what it is-- would
of course not meet with the approval of certain communities therein, so, once
the legal precedent had been set, we could then expect the People's Republic
of Berkeley to sedece from it, followed shortly thereafter by an independent
mini-state "for women only," one for gays, and much the same for separatist
blacks and latinos ("Aztlan" or whatever). Undoubtedly an autonomous state
for fundamentalist Xtians would be in the running almost immediately, but
remembering the historic tendency of Xtians, even if it began united, it'd
fragment quickly into a number of smaller states, all divided along petty
sectarian lines. Probably the Scientologists would secede too ...
The nice thing about "globalism" is that at least there's a CEILING to it --
humanity, the species, and the planet as a whole. In contrast to
"devolution," which --as ENTROPY-- merely disintegrates, down to the ultimate
DIS-unity, paranoid alienated "individualism," aka "anarchy." There are no
limits, alas, to the process of making fine, finer, and still finer
distinctions between individual human beings --based on race, gender,
religion, language, dialect, etc., ad nauseum-- and then reifying each and
every random surface difference into a supposedly "rational," even "good,"
reason for perpetual intraspecies savagery. HUMAN "evolution" then becomes a
contest for who's most INHUMANE .

Y2KNEWSWIRE has confirmed with the California State Attorney General office: certain firearms are now under a confiscation order. This, also posted on a state-run web site. California residents must turn in their SKS rifles by 1/1/2000 -- precisely the Y2K rollover date -- or face criminal prosecution. Recently-enacted legislation mandates this confiscation, calling it a "buyback" program and offering to reimburse gun owners $230 per "relinquished" rifle.Amid cries from gun owners that their Second Amendment rights are being further trampled just in time for Y2K, Y2KNEWSWIRE hit the phones to find out exactly what's going on here.We spoke with Nathan Barankin, Director of Communications for the California Attorney General office, who informed us that this recent SKS gun ban issue arises from an unresolved legal definition. California was one of the first states to pass a ban on so-called "assault weapons," which included the SKS rifle -- but only if the rifle had a detachable magazine. Rifles with fixed, non-removable magazines were exempt from this confiscation order, but those with removable magazine had to be recorded ("registered") and turned over to government authorities.Many owners of fixed-magazine SKS rifles later converted them to removable-magazine models. At the time, the Attorney General (who is not the current AG) wrote a letter to these gun owners assuring them that these rifles were perfectly legal and not subject to the gun confiscation order.In 1996, a man owning one of these converted rifles was arrested in Santa Clara County and prosecuted by the District Attorney for possessing an illegal firearm. The case wound its way to the state Supreme Court where a decision was finally handed down: yes, indeed, these rifles are illegal, the court said.This ruling created instant criminals. Barankin told Y2KNEWSWIRE, "So what we had in 1997 was, by judicial ruling, a law that says all these people who had been informed that these weapons were legal
were now suddenly felons."Yes: a state court decision transformed law-abiding citizens into felons. Recognizing the obvious problem here, the state legislature passed a bill that would allow owners of these newly-illegal SKS rifles a "window of opportunity" to turn them in without being prosecuted as felons. Barankin says, "This was not something that the legislature took a great deal of pleasure in doing." In fact, the author of this bill was a former chapter president of the NRA in Los Angeles.Currently, the Attorney General is trying to get the word out to people so that local police aren't forced to arrest these newly-defined "felons" who would likely end up doing time in prison for owning a gun that the state previously assured them was perfectly legal!THAT'S THE LEGAL DESCRIPTIONBut the story may be much larger than this. Barankin told Y2KNEWSWIRE about the trees, not the forest. We threw out a wildcard and asked Barankin his thoughts on the parallels between California's gun confiscation program and Adolf Hitler's gun registration (and subsequent confiscation) that ultimately helped the regime kill millions of ethnic Jews with minimum resistance.He didn't waver. He answered, "Let me put it this way, Bill Lockyer [the Attorney General] himself is a supporter of the 2nd Amendment. What the state is attempting to do is enact reasonable gun control laws that are necessary to protect the public. One of those laws covers the assault weapons."We asked whether the current confiscation order would soon be expanded to other firearms. Barankin told us, "No." He explained further, "This is a very narrow situation

[CTRL] STARR PUTS [thugess]HILLARY ON WITNESS LIST IN[thug] HUBBELL TRIAL
-Caveat Lector- X DRUDGE REPORT X WED, JUNE 23, 1999 11:21:58 ET X STARR PUTS HILLARY ON WITNESS LIST IN HUBBELL TRIAL FOX NEWS on Wednesday confirmed a DRUDGE REPORT [MARCH 18, 1999] that prosecutors working for Kenneth Starr are preparing to order Hillary Clinton to testify in the upcoming trial of her former law partner Webster Hubbell. The independent counsel's office and defense attorneys have both submitted witness lists to the court. And Mrs. Clinton is listed as a "prosecution witness," according to FOX NEWS' David Shuster. The development means that at the very time Mrs. Clinton is starting her campaign for a New York Senate Seat, Starr will be attempting to get information from her under oath about a questionable land deal in Arkansas. FLASHBACK: X DRUDGE REPORT X THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1999 02:29:33 ET X EXCLUSIVE: STARR TEAM PLANNING TO CALL FIRST LADY IN HUBBELL TRIAL WASHINGTON -- Prosecutors from the Office of the Independent Counsel have put Hillary Rodham Clinton on their witness list in the coming trial of her former law partner, Webster Hubbell, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. The trial is scheduled to begin sometime in the summer. "She's on the working witness list," one case insider told the DRUDGE REPORT in Washington. "[The OIC] is quietly preparing its court case." Mrs. Clinton is referred to 36 times in the fraud indictment filed against Hubbell. The raw spectacle of calling the First Lady of the United States as a witness in a public trial would not come without risk for Starr prosecutors. "The move could backfire and could quickly turn into a public relations disaster... if it turns out that Mrs. Clinton has nothing more to offer," said a source directly involved in case planning. "She has not been very helpful solving the Castle Grande riddle before the grand jury." One option actively being discussed inside of Starr's office, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, is to call Mrs. Clinton for fresh videotaped testimony. "Instead of dragging her into public court, she may be given the option of appearing as a witness on tape, much like the president did in the original Whitewater trial in Little Rock," said the case insider. It is not clear if Mrs. Clinton has been notified that her name is on an active witness list for the Hubbell trial. The insider cautioned that Ken Starr himself has not yet "completely signed-off" on calling Mrs. Clinton, but prosecutors chosen to argue the case in court have become convinced that she is a key witness and she will be subpoenaed to appear.

Although the state Court of Appeals last April cleared Kriho of criminal charges for voicing her political opinions in a jury room in 1996, the state government itself is now filing for a re-hearing of the case. Kriho's qualms about consigning a teenager to a long stretch in prison for personal-quantity drug possession, and her attempt to articulate them to the other jurors on the case, did indeed constitute "contempt of court," the state itself is now charging. They're insisting that the Appeals justices reverse their reasoning and find Kriho guilty after all--thus keeping the concept of jury nullification foresquare before the public's attention, at no greater cost than a small Rocky Mountain of taxpayer dollars (so far), and about $25,000 that Kriho has had to put up to defend herself. Heresy In The Court! Ironically, Laura Kriho tried to get out of jury duty on that fateful 1996 day, telling a secretary she would have to hitchhike down to the Gilpin County courthouse from her mountain home, but she was told she had to be there. She later found out that she might've been charged $500 with a remote chance of serving jail time if she hadn't shown up. Instead, Kriho wound up fined $1,200 for the contempt-of-court charge, and being dragged back to court again and again and again, for three years and counting. As an alternate-juror candidate, Kriho wasn't even in the jury box during the pretrial voir dire selection questioning by defense and prosecution lawyers, which took several hours and consisted of over 300 questions. When she was finally called, after other potential jurors had been rejected, Kriho says the questioner asked simply, "You heard the questions. Is there anything you'd answer differently?" Kriho volunteered whatever information she thought would be relevant--that she had once sued a developer, for instance. She was not asked anything about her political activities with the Colorado Hemp Initiative Project, nor was there any reason to do so. The case being tried had nothing at all to do with hemp or even marijuana, involving instead a 19-year-old girl facing a long string of very heavy criminal charges for a very small amount of methamphetamine. Far from ever trying to "bias" her fellow jurors toward the defendant in their deliberations after both sides had rested, Kriho points out that they unanimously voted for conviction on the charges of "criminal impersonation" and possession of "drug paraphernalia." But Kriho was the holdout juror on the third charge--criminal possession of a Schedule I drug. Kriho felt there was not enough evidence to convict on that charge, and that the police hadn't shown probable cause to search for drugs or anything else. And though jury deliberations are supposed to be sacrosanct, prosecutors later produced evidence that Kriho had spoken aloud about the concept of jury nullification, under which individual jurors are entitled to overlook the written law and vote with their conscience. Ballistic On The Bench She also confessed to the other jurors that she thought it was a shame that the courts, not families, dealt nowadays with the sort of problems facing this teenage defendant. "These are the radical arguments that got me in trouble," Kriho says wryly. Indeed, when another juror sent an anonymous note to trial judge Kenneth Barnhill, asking about jury nullification, he instantly declared a mistrial, and county prosecutors instantly began investigating Laura Kriho personally. "That's not common," remarks Kriho's defense attorney, Paul Grant of Parker, CO. Judge Barnhill "never verified if one person had these concerns or twelve. He just blew up, lost his temper, and declared a mistrial. It's not the way a judge should handle something like that." Casting around for evidence to support contempt-of-court charges against Kriho (or at least to vilify her), county investigators uncovered her long association with COHIP, and even exhumed a 12-year-old LSD-possession charge against her, which had resulted in a deferred judgment

SHERIFF STONE BREAKS LONG SILENCE Convinced Others Involved in Slaughter! © 1999 NewsHawk Inc. All Rights reserved Jefferson County's head sheriff John Stone, speaking with firm conviction in an interview published June 19, 1999, made it decisively clear once and for all that he is CONVINCED Harris and Klebold had accomplices in the planning and execution of the shooting rampage at Columbine High School April 20. Breaking a long public silence about the horror which occurred on his watch, Stone indicated the sheer weight of evidence and testimony regarding such collaboration makes this conclusion unavoidable and undeniable. Stone let it be known that such leads and evidence will be pursued to the utmost extent until the truth is brought to light and justice is served, and that the community, not to mention the nation, can not rest easy regarding the nightmarish slaughter until this comes to pass. To quote the AOBOnline article here: 'Feeling burned by the coverage, Stone will no longer identify suspects, except to say he still believes the two killers had help in their plot to storm the school. "I've said all along there were more people involved and nothing has changed my thinking," he said. "There probably will be a lot of anxiety in this community until this investigation is wrapped up."' (© 1999 APBOnline All rights res.) Notably, the article pointedly defines the vicious murder and mayhem carried out at the school that day as a "COMMANDO-STYLE RAID," a truly significant point which correlates very closely with the latest astonishing leads just passed on to NewsHawk by local sources. Following the text of the Stone interview is information on these leads and some of their incredible implications. It's reasonable to assume that this description of the horror may well be due to certain information relayed by Stone to his interviewers "off-the-record" and not published in the article. There was a tremendous amount of unavoidable and compelling evidence at the scene indicating EXTENSIVE involvement on the part of paramilitary, covert-operations AND intelligence agencies in the murder and mayhem: evidence which is clear and well-known to many, including of course Sheriff Stone. As well, Stone reaffirms his knowledge that Eric Harris's father Wayne was without doubt incomprehensibly and unconscionably negligent as a parent in taking serious preventive and corrective action concerning unavoidably obvious indications that a great number of Eric's actions, interests and proclivities were BLATANTLY destructive, dangerous, hate-obsessed, and in general highly disturbed and troubling. Stone seems to imply in fact that Wayne Harris may have been MORE than negligent; such as complicit! MAJOR NEW LEADS BEING PURSUED NewsHawk is working on developing some VERY serious leads as to ACTUAL PARTICIPANTS in the Columbine slaughter (we're talking NAMES here) as well as names of those persons and organizations who CONTRACTED with said other participants to CARRY OUT the commando style massacre! We CAN say right now, based on information provided from highly credible and knowledgeable sources that this ungodly horror connects to very high levels of international global power-broking, AND to some fairly well-known and well-monied interests on the more local level as well. Early reports out of Littleton after the massacre of Internet warnings of an impending violent rampage at the school posted during the days BEFORE the slaughter by a gay goth/Trenchcoat faction represented by someone calling themselves "Queen Jeff," have received some substantial verification from a source. Along these lines reports surfaced right after the slayings to the effect Harris and Klebold were involved in a homosexual relationship. One of our contacts in Denver, a highly credible person by all estimates who's provided some SERIOUS leads, knows Klebold's next-door neighbors personally, who in turn know the Klebolds personally. This contact has run this by the Klebolds' neighbors--as to whether Harris and Klebold having such a relationship was PLAUSIBLE, based on their knowledge of the situation. This source indicated the neighbors believed it WAS plausible. Indeed NewsHawk has in fact very rec

-Caveat Lector- RELATED STORY: The Times Unofficially Endorses Gore: Bush Confuses The Media http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/mugger.html June 17, 1999 Al Gore as the Un-Clinton All Vice Presidents have a special challenge when they try to run for President themselves. They have to campaign on the achievements of the outgoing Administration while also separating themselves from its failings. In one sense Al Gore's job should be a straightforward one. Practically everyone on the planet can identify the big defect in the Clinton Presidency, and Gore has gotten off to a brisk start in explaining how he would differ from Bill Clinton. In carefully calculated television interviews, Gore shed his role as the President's defender against what he once described as partisan attacks stemming from the sexual scandals of the Clinton White House. He now sees the Monica Lewinsky episode as "inexcusable" and tells reporters that he resented the "wasted time" the President's conduct caused. Wednesday, when he officially announced his candidacy in Tennessee, the Vice President pulled out all the stops in billing himself as the family-values candidate. A prominent part in the proceedings was given to his eldest daughter, who is expecting a baby any day now. He asked the electorate to let him bring "my own values" to the White House, implicity suggesting that those values are different from the ones currently on display. Gore's delivery also indicates that he is trying to respond to criticism of his wooden speaking style by injecting some passion into his campaign. Gore's Vice-Presidential baggage does not include the task of explaining exactly what he has been doing for the last seven years. It is a tribute both to him and the President that Gore has been a key policy player in this Administration, and one of Clinton's most influential advisers. He is particularly expert on foreign relations and the environment, areas where the leading Republican candidate, George W. Bush, is weak. But if the current polls are any indication, Gore is going to have to do more than offer the American people eight more years of the same policies, plus marital fidelity. He needs his own vision of what comes next. His speech Wednesday suggested that his answer is remarkably similar to the one propounded earlier this week by Bush. Both men are talking about moving beyond material prosperity to build, in Gore's words, "an America that is not only better off but better," with strong families and caring communities. They both stress education, and making sure that, as the nation grows wealthier, no segment of society is left behind. >From this early vantage point it appears that the main danger in this campaign could be the spectacle of two candidates clinging so firmly to the center, appealing so consistently to the soccer moms and the suburban vote, that their themes become interchangeable in the public mind. If that happens, the election could very likely turn on issues of personality, and it would be unfortunate if the public reacted to its disappointment with Clinton by deciding this election on the basis of personal charm. The majority of Americans who talk to pollsters may say right now that they prefer Bush to Gore, but they are also wise enough to admit by huge margins that they do not know enough about either man. Both have a long way to go before even winning a nomination. They also have plenty of work to do turning the warm and fuzzy campaign themes unveiled this week into proposals of clarity and substance. http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/early/06179917thu1.html Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: a benefit/subsidy protection racket!

[CTRL] The NYTimes Unofficially Endorses Gore: Bush Confuses The Media
ker, Conason was among a group of literary figures and celebrities who witnessed the First Lady in a gauzy, beaded slate-gray gown by Pamela Dennis while Martha Stewart opted for pink silk capri pants and a short matching jacket. Musical entertainment was provided by Judy Collins and the assembled had a meal of salmon with portobello mushrooms, pecan-crusted lamb and bing cherry strudel. Conason was joined at the White House by, among others, Tony Curtis, William Styron, Elie Wiesel, William Cohen, Paul Begala, Rep. Steny Hoyer, Sen. Richard Lugar, John Podesta, Susan Sontag and David Rieff. Joe, just like the Jeffersons, youre movin on up! Doin' what they do best: Cohen and Maddy Anyway, in his Phoenix piece (which must have been written several weeks ago, considering his unkind mention of Rep. Nita Lowey: Until Hillary Clinton makes up her mind, the field is left to a lone, uninspiring suburban congresswoman with a wealthy husband), Conason compares Hillary to Eleanor Rooseveltthat conceit is getting mighty tiredsaying that shes preparing to make history with her Senate run. He writes: Yet because of her popular persona and her ties to traditional constituencies, she can serve as a unifying force among Democrats. Indeed, she is in certain respects the real, if not the titular, leader of the Democratic Party. Lord, Joe, easy on the bing cherry strudel! Hillary is the leader of the Democratic Party? Says who, besides you? Id imagine Al Gore would beg to differ, as would her miserable husband. Throw in Dick Gephardt, Bill Bradley, the insufferable Florida Rep. Robert Wexler, Bob Kerrey and, heck, just for grins, Patrick Kennedy, and Id say theres a battle for titular or real head of the Democratic Party. But wait! Lets call in the reinforcements. The ever-reliable Lars-Erik Nelson says that Hillarys a winner in New York because of one manKen Starr. Nelson, hurting for material on June 16, writes in the Daily News: As she runs for the Senate, this dweeby Peeping Tom, who was unable to indict [Hillary Clinton], threatens through his aides to issue a blistering final report on her supposed misconduct. What more could Clinton ask for? She faces a tough race against Mayor Giuliani, but if her luck holds, she can hang Starr around Giulianis neck and sink him like a stone. Sure, Lars. Starr might be a dweeb, but hes not stupid, and has collected a ream of damaging material against the First Lady: all the familiars that wouldve been forgotten had she not decided to run for Senate. Filegate, Travelgate, missing Rose Law Firm records, etc., all potent evidence that Giuliani, far more tenacious and media-savvy than Starr, can have a field day with. And Bob Herbert signaled the New York Times view with his June 20 column, writing: More and more New Yorkers are seeing Rudolph Giuliani for what he really is, a power-hungry, petty and vindictive man whose policies are often fundamentally anti-democratic. Apparently oblivious that he could be describing the Clintons, Herbert continues: For years his excesses have been obscured or excused because of the falling crime rates in the city. And that has encouraged greater excesses. The citys tolerance of those excesses seems to be diminishing. Fair and reasonable people can keep their eyes closed only so long. Aside from not mentioning what Giulianis excesses exactly are, Id wager that fair and reasonable people take a look back at the David Dinkins regime and realize that even though the Mayor may be a skunk, hes contributed to making New York a safer place to live. Dionne Washington Posts E.J. Dionne, a typically squishy DC liberal, is furrowing his brow at Hillarys embrace of New York, writing a column on June 15 that quoted several anonymous Democratic consultants who are skeptical about her candidacy. One told Dionne: Absent her running, the overwhelming priority of the administration would have been electing Al Gore. Now youve got a three-ring circus at the White HouseClintons working on his legacy, Gores running for president, and Mrs. Clinton is running for the Senate. If you think the most important thing Democrats can do is elect Al Gore, this is a terrible idea. Another consultant said: Her defeat will be seen as a defeat for feminism, for liberalism, not just a defeat for her personally... [This] would be like us beating Jesse Helms. id Shribman, the Boston Globe columnist who also writes about politics for Fortune, despairs for Hillary as well. In the July 5 issue of that magazine, Shribman said: Why would one of the nations most accomplished women want to be a Senator when many of the Senates best and brightest [Fortune doesn t edit for cliches] (Sam Nunn, Warren Rudman, David Boren) have given up in frustration? I dont know where this most accomplished malarkey comes fromunless you consider being used as a doormat by your husband, failing to convince Americans that a quasi-socialist hea

The prevalence of SRA beliefs appear to > be related to our beliefs about Satan rather than any objective reality. > Satanism is a heresy that manifests most commonly in *Protestant* countries--and not all Protestant countries at that. In the U.S., Canada, and Britain, satanism has largely replaced witchcraft as a focus of popular hysteria (despite the best efforts of some on the religious right); however, in most of Europe, fear of the "Unknown" usually takes the form of withcraft hysteria. This is almost entirely directed at women who fall outside the norms of society; Finland is the only exception to this rule of which I am aware. Such public hysterias are fortunately not common today (except in the Anglophone countries)--the last major witch scandal in Germany was in the 1950's, in the Rhineland. Witchcraft is always a survival or revival of an older, often autochthonous religion practiced in spite of or in resistance to the dominant religion. In Classical Greece, or "howling" referred to the practice of the witches of Thessaly, who seem to have preserved the goddess-centered religion of Old Europe which was suppressed and repressed by the Indo-European-speaking invaders. When Christianity became dominant, witchcraft took over attributes of the Greco-Roman deities, and the central figures became Diana and Pan. Over time, the Goat-God Pan was assimilated to his Christian allotype Satan or Lucifer, and the Church determined that witches were Satan-worshippers. Enough centuries of being told that they worshipped Satan meant that eventually many witches *did* worship Satan, often in parodies of the Mass. Alongside this mocking of the Church, however, more ancient forms of witchcraft survived, preserving pagan beliefs in an often warped and partial form; and the Church found it next to impossible--not to say undesirable--to distinguish between the different types of witchcraft. Satanism as practiced today appears to represent "cocking a snook" at the established churches. I honestly doubt that there are multigenerational conspiracies, etc.--there is simply no evidence for them, any more than there was any evidence for real witchcraft at Salem. But there *is* a hell of a lot of fear in our society, and Satanists make good scapegoats, because you can project whatever you want onto them. Bob = Robert F.

You have TWO MORE DAYS to contact your state lawmaker and stop this bad ballot access bill! June 22, 1999 UPDATE: - --- SB 365, a ballot access bill that will increase the burden for third party candidates to get on the ballot in California, was scheduled for a hearing yesterday, Monday, June 21, in the Assembly Elections Committee. However, that hearing was postponed until Thursday, June 24, at 10:30 AM. If you haven't yet contacted the members of the Assembly Elections Committee and urged them to vote NO on SB 365, you have two more days to do so! WHO TO CONTACT: === The members of the Assembly Elections Committee and their contact information follows.

WHAT TO SAY: - Here are some "talking points" you can use to express your opposition to SB 365: (1) SB 365 is unfair to third parties. Since third parties almost exclusively collect signatures in lieu of paying the filing fee, third parties will be most affected by the provisions of this bill. Democrats and Republicans will enjoy an even greater advantage over third parties than they do now. (2) SB 365, which is intended to reduce confusion for candidates and facilitate the filing process, will actually accomplish the exact opposite. By requiring more paperwork, more signatures, and more filing, SB 365 will increase the workload for County Clerks and create even more confusion for candidates. (3) SB 365 is a disservice to voters. To the extent that third party candidates do not qualify for the ballot because of the bill's requirements, SB 365 will eliminate different alternatives for voters in the voting booth. Choices for voters will be limited and narrower. Be brief and courteous, but make your point emphatically. If one of the committee members is your representative, be sure to tell them that you are a constituent! If you aren't sure who your State Assembly representative is, you can find out by going to http://www.senate.ca.gov/~newsen/senators/yoursenator.htp. THE BACKGROUND: - --- SB 365 by Senator John Lewis (R-Orange) will complicate the signature gathering process for third parties. Under current law, candidates may collect signatures in lieu of paying a fee when filing a declaration of candidacy. In addition, all candidates are required to collect a certain number of nominating signatures. Signatures collected in lieu of the filing fee also count towards the nominating signature requirement. Under SB 365, that "dual-use" of signatures would be eliminated. Candidates would be forced to collect signatures twice, during two separate time periods, and the signatures would be counted independently of each other for purposes of meeting the required amounts. Collecting signatures from voters is difficult enough once, let alone having to do it twice. As a result, fewer third party candidates are likely to qualify for the ballot. In addition, the Libertarian Party and other third parties will face greater difficulty recruiting candidates once the signature gathering process is explained to potential recruits. SB 365 must be stopped! Unfortunately, SB 365 is being sponsored by the California Association of Clerks and Elections Officials, a government employee lobbying group. SB 365 was passed by the State Senate on May 25, 39-0. We have two more days to kill this bill! WHAT YOU CAN DO: - *Call, fax, or e-mail the members of the Assembly Elections Committee and urge them to vote "NO"

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] Scaife & the CIA
From: Mark Keesee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CIA drugs debunker Richard Mellon Scaife http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/scaifegraf050299.htm Excerpt: === Decades of Contributions to Conservatism By Ira Chinoy and Robert G. Kaiser Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, May 2, 1999; Page A25 Minding the Media Scaife has been subsidizing publications and broadcasts supporting conservative positions since his first grant to the American Spectator magazine in 1970. The Spectator has been the biggest recipient of this kind $3.2 million for the magazine, plus nearly $2.3 million for the Arkansas Project. Scaife ended grants to the Spectator in 1997. Scaife has supported the Public Interest and the National Interest, both associated with Irving Kristol, the neo-conservative intellectual; the New Criterion, a cultural review edited by Hilton Kramer, former New York Times art critic; Reason, the organ of the libertarian Reason Foundation; and Commentary, the monthly magazine of the American Jewish Committee, edited for years by Norman Podhoretz. All of these are published by tax-exempt, nonprofit foundations, so they are eligible to receive grants from Scaife's foundations. Scaife also gave money to Encounter magazine, once supported indirectly by the CIA. Altogether these publications have received nearly $10 million. Scaife undertook one unusual media enterprise in his own name. In 1968, he agreed to replace John Hay Whitney, last owner of the New York Herald Tribune, as the head of the parent firm of Forum World Features, a London-based news agency that received subsidies and guidance from the CIA. The proprietor of Forum, Brian Crozier, has said he was introduced to Scaife by the CIA. Scaife has never spoken about this. Scaife money has helped fund television documentaries on the economics of Milton Friedman, the guru of the monetarist school of free-market economics, and on Cold War themes. Scaife has supported creation of conservative textbooks and curricula for schools. Scaife has had a long interest in groups that monitor and criticize the news media. He funded Gen. William C. Westmoreland's unsuccessful libel suit against CBS News. He has granted about $2 million to Accuracy in Media, a conservative critic of mainstream news media, since 1977. The Media Institute is another watchdog group he has backed. In 1994-95 he gave $330,000 to the Western Journalism Center, which shared his skepticism about how former White House deputy counsel Vincent W. Foster Jr. died. But the center was cut off. "I have no idea why," said Joe Farah, president of the center. "The only explanation I ever got from [Scaife aide] Dick Larry was that they didn't have any more money. It didn't have the ring of truth." © Copyright 1999 The Washington Post Company --- ONElist Sponsor Books, music, videos, gifts, e-cards, auctions-find them at AMAZON.COM.

[CTRL] [9] Loud and Clear
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Loud and Clear Lake Headly and William Hoffman©1990 Henry Holt and Company 115 W. 18th St. New York, NY 10011 ISBN 0-8050-1138-2 272 pps out-of-print/one edition --[9]-- 9. Bradley Funk 's Emprise I couldn't return to Phoenix until January 4, 1979. A record-breaking blizzard caused the first extended closing ever of O'Hare. "I'm glad you're back," Terri Lee said when she met me at Sky Harbor Airport. She wore jeans and a designer silk top. "I missed you. I've been thinking about you." Wow. I loved the new open-type woman. "Well, I missed and thought about you, too. That could be dangerous." That night Terri Lee and I ate at the Spaghetti Factory, a restaurant in downtown Phoenix designed to resemble an industrial plant: machine parts hung from the ceiling, all manner of wrenches and tools on the walls. We each ordered linguini with clam sauce, and then I leaned forward to hear what she had to say. Terri had brought a briefcase, which she opened with a key on a rabbit's foot key chain. I asked her about the rabbit's foot, and she said her father gave it to her for good luck. Terri removed a four-inch-high stack of photocopies from the briefcase. "I don't know if this is what you wanted. I hope it helps." Helps? I guess it helped. After reluctantly driving Terri to her home, in north Phoenix, I read her research for several hours at the Westward Ho. I learned that Emprise, one of the last words on the lips of Don Bolles, began as a company founded in 1915 by Louis Jacobs, a man Sports Illustrated dubbed The Godfather of Sports. Louis Jacobs became quite a success. As a little boy he sold popcorn at the Gayety Theater in Buffalo, New York, and peanuts at the baseball park. In 1927 he landed his first concession contract, with the Detroit Tigers, and he was on his way. Under the name of an Emprise subsidiary, Sportservice, he ultimately gained control of the concessions for six major league baseball teams-Detroit, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Baltimore, the Chicago White Sox, Montreal. Also, the concessions for four hockey teams: Kansas City, Buffalo, Chicago, St. Louis. And five basketball teams: Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Buffalo. Plus eight professional football teams: Green Bay (at games played in Milwaukee), Buffalo, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Cincinnati. On May 26, 1972, Sports Illustrated revealed that Louis Jacobs's two sons, Max and Jeremy, Emprise's top two officers, had "the concessions at more than fifty horse and dog tracks in the U.S. and Canada, plus ten more in England and Puerto RICO. They had contracts with jai-alai frontons, bowling alleys, horse shows, golf tournaments, and ski lodges. In 1960 they were the concessionaires for the Rome Olympics. "But more important," I read, "they had taken a further giant step, vaulting from behind the hot dog counter into the front office. In 1963 Jeremy Jacobs obtained controlling interest in the Cincinnati Royals and the Cincinnati Gardens, where the Royals played. The Jacobses owned stock (off and on) in the Buffalo Bisons of the International League and in the Buffalo franchise in the American Hockey League. Emprise holds stock, bonds, and debentures in at least nineteen separate pari-mutuel entities, including controlling interest in the Buffalo raceway; Finger Lakes raceway (N.Y.); Latonia raceway (Ky.); Miles Park (Ky.); Southland dog track, in West Memphis; Daytona Beach (Fla.) Kennel Club; Daytona Beach jai-Alai Fronton; Melbourne (Fla.) jai-Alai Fronton; Centennial Turf Club (Colo.); and in Arizona, all six greyhound tracks and until recently two of the three thoroughbred tracks." It was this control of the Funk-Emprise Arizona racing empire that Bolles first wrote about in October 1969 in a story titled "N.Y. Firm in Quiet Control of Most Racing Tracks Here." "A huge New York firm," his article began, "is gradually getting control of all horse and dog racing in Arizona. The Emprise Corp. of Buffalo, N.Y., has majority stock control in six of the seven firms which run dog racing in the state, and is part owner of the seventh." The deeper Bolles probed into Emprise, the more he learned: Sportservice alone (Emprise controlled at least 162 other corporations) by 1972 had become a hundred-million-dollars-a-year operation selling five million bags of peanuts annually, thirty million soft drinks, twenty million hot dogs, and twenty-five million containers of beer. Concessions seemed an even better deal than owning a major league franchise: for one thing, no highly paid ball players to negotiate with. How did Emprise pull it off? Well, sports franchises, like individuals, often need loans. Sports Illustrated revealed that Emprise loaned two million dollars to the Seattle Pilots in exchange for a twenty-five-year concession agreement with Sportservice. Emprise loaned two million dollars to the Montreal Expos and received a thirty-year concession contract, with op

-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Other Altars - Roots and Realities of Cultic and Satanic Ritual Abuse and Multiple Personality Disorder Craig Lockwood©1993 CompCare Publishers 3850 Annapolis Lane, Suite 100 Minneapolis, MN 55441 612.559.4800/800.328.3330 ISBN 0-89638-363-6 255+pps out-of-print/one edition. - A very interesting and excellent book. Om K --[4]-- Chapter 4 Riutual, SACRIFICE, AND CULTURE "In a sacrifice the circle of participants is segregated from the outside world. Complicated social structures find expression in the diverse roles the participants assume in the course of the ritual." -Walter Burkett, 1972 Civilization writes a relatively recent chapter in humankind's story. During the eons before the onset of civilization, it seems likely that developing human groups evolved a complex series of ritual behaviors that became part of what we now call culture. Sacrificial rituals may have been important in bonding early human groups together, and as such had social survival value. That was then. But why has ritual persisted? As A. I. Hallowell suggested in a 1926 article in American Anthropologist, the key is that specific beliefs or practices rarely "represent a direct psychological response of individuals to some aspect of the outer world" and that the source of those practices and beliefs is "the historic tradition." Humans tend to do things the way they've always done things. In times of social anxiety and stress, we prefer using time-proven methods of dealing with problems. Ritual sacrifice is a method that has withstood the test of time. Rituals of all kinds may be practiced without sacrifice, but sacrifice is never practiced without ritual. Not all ritual is sacrificial, and not all sacrificial ritual is blood sacrifice-animal or human. In its media-linkage to sorcery, Satanism, and crime, ritual's good name has been tarnished. Practitioners of the sacrificial killing of animals say that, compared to assembly-line death in slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants, sacrifice may be more humane-especially if done quickly so the animal doesn't suffer. The sacrificial sheep that feeds a village during a religious celebration, they contend, may well die a better death. In ancient times, people recognized that what they killed gave its life away to them. Therefore, they gained power from that. The ritualistic slaughtering of the animal during the ceremony before cooking it for the big feast incorporated the giving away of the life-spirit so that the clan could live. Other forms of sacrifice incorporate the use of blood in a nonabusive way. Some ancient societies may well have used women's menstrual blood, possibly acknowledging that this was the life-blood. Ritual shedding of blood is "wounding," a negative shedding of blood. This should not be confused with menstrual blood, which is given freely every month. Most contemporary witches would probably acknowledge that blood sacrifice in a "black magic" ritual produces a powerful force, because the sacrificer is taking a life-the life force from a person or animal. This is a "negative" as opposed to a "positive" form of power. Wiccans neither accept nor practice "black magic" ritual. Ritual's Relationship to Culture Evidence suggests that ritual, including sacrificial ritual, may have played an important role in the beginning of culture. Ritual may have also been the language by which humans first attempted to communicate their feelings about the forces that affected them. Whatever rituals did, perhaps because of our social nature, the remnants of ritual's compelling attraction to contemporary humans is widespread. According to Walter Burkett in Homo Necans, "Sacrificial killing is the basic experience of the 'sacred."' While the "bliss of encountering divinity," can be expressed in words, the frightening and mysterious events that participants in a sacrifice witness are even more intense because they aren't discussed. Not everyone would agree with Burkett, who then goes on to talk about the mysteries of sacrifice at some length. But few who have experienced fear while hunting animals or killing humans in combat would qualify the hunt or war as "mysterious." Hunting and war are not only discussed, they form the basis for much of myth, legend, and literature. Ritual, however, does not. Egyptian hieroglyphics record ritual sacrifice, as do the art and surviving written languages of Babylonians, Etruscans, Phoenicians, early Greeks, and Romans. Ritual with and without sacrifice formed the basis of Europe's pre-Christian Pagan religions. Ritual sacrifice is still practiced in Africa, in Peru and Bolivia, in a Russian-Armenian village (beside the church), in India, Nepal, and throughout Southeast Asia. Ritual blood flows behind a Dade County tract house, in a hounfour (compound) near Port-au-Prince, in the basement of a certain Connecticut estate, in a crowded apartment in Los Angeles's Pico-Union district, in a drug smug

[CTRL] Masonic Education: The Big "G"
-Caveat Lector- from alt.conspiracy - As always, Caveat Lector. Om K - Masonic Education: The Big "G" - Subject: Masonic Education: The Big "G" From: St. John The Sublime Reformer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 22 June 1999 04:48 AM EDT Message-id: <7knilh$3ou$[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greetings Prince of Darkness supplicants. Now brethren please pull your horns in, get off the goat and pay attention. Ready? Splendid. Some of the brethren we understand are confused or as you are wont to say contradistincted, about the full and complete meaning and meanings of the letter "G" that is affixed above the front door of your TEMPLES. It is for this reason that I have been asked to set aside some time from my duties at the office of the Holy Inquisition to illucidate on this matter for you fraternity fans. As you are undoubtable aware the linga franca of the Roman World and much of the known world among the chattering classes was for millennia Greek. This was especially true for the Hermetic "societies" and mystery religions of the Greco-Roman-Egyptian world of the Levant from which the "Craft" sprung. Now you have all been "instructed" on the matter of the big "G" so you can give the suitable reply to Cowan's such as your wives who might enquire as to it's purpose. The standard line is that it stands for geometry or alternatively God or the Great Architect of the Universe. These standard responses are in the best Masonic slip-shod tradition of being at the same time true and not true, or as is said "diverting a discourse". You see brothers the placing of an English or to be more precise latin letter G (french etc) in place of the Greek letter G which is where the usage came from is somewhat of a slip. Today you will find the Greek letter G above Greek Masonic Temples of course. The use of the Greek letter G as a symbol for the Egyptian-Mystery Religions/socities was one of long standing. In fact it can be seen in many frescos of Jesus C. & Co. where it adorns their robes (the involvement of Jesus C. & Co. is for another future lesson class). Now you may be asking yourselves SO WHAT. Here's the rub kiddies. The Greek letter G looks like one of our letter "L" or a masonic set square which of course is a prominent sign of the craft, no problem so far. HOWEVER the old Greeks didn't invent the Hermetic "sciences" themselves they got them all from the Egyptians. The most important and prominent hyroglyphic symbol in Egypt was the same L shape which was used to represent their deity. You see the L shape represents a throne. Now the deity in question wasn't of course the Judeo-Christian God your wives drag you too once a month to hear about from Pastor Friendly. No the deity was Sirius, the Jackal, represented by the dog star which is the blazing star taught to you in your ritural and which adorns the premier position in your lodges. Anyone who has even the most rudimentary knowledge of the mystery religions, and the Gnostics/Essenes (through which masonry travelled into europe and the latin world and your organization) KNOWS that Sirius in the Dualist World of a Good God and a Bad God is the Bad God. Sirius is Satan, represented in Egyptian hyroglyph by a throne shape or "L" and used by the secret societies becoming the Greek Letter "G" (L-shape) and eventually the latin G adorning the front of all your TEMPLES. So there you have it brethern, in future if your wives or children ask you what the reason for the letter G on Daddys "clubhouse" is you can or not tell them the whole truth, all the truth, and nothing but the truth. The big "G" represents the Great Architect of the Universe, the Jealous God, the Vengeful God, the Smithie of the World, the World Ruler, Sabaoth (which is held on Satur[n]day), Saturn (Saturnalia the official state holiday of the Romans state religion held on Dec. 25th), Old Nick, the Prince of Darkness, SATAN.

[CTRL] Broker on the run as £2bn vanishes
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.thisislondon.com/dynamic/news/story.html?in_review_id=149342&in_rev iew_text_id=121439 http://www.thisislondon.com/dynamic/news/story.html?in_review_id=149342& in_review_text_id=121439">Untitled Document - Broker on the run as £2bn vanishes by Barbara Mcmahon in New York FBI agents in the United States are looking for a rogue stockbroker who could have pulled off one of the biggest frauds ever. At least £218 million is missing after Martin Frankel's disappearance from his home in the expensive suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut - but authorities fear up to £2 billion may have been taken. "It could be one of the biggest movements of money of all time," said a consultant who worked for Frankel. A warrant for the arrest of the 44-year-old, a reclusive financier, was issued after agents discovered a complex web of fake companies set up to siphon money from insurance clients. Frankel is believed to have systematically drained funds from companies in at least six American states, siphoning off up to £1 billion. In another fraud, the St Francis of Assisi Foundation, a Catholic charity formed by Frankel, may also have lost £630 million. Frankel is said to have persuaded people that he was a Monsignor from Rome when in fact he was a Jewish stockbroker living in one of the wealthiest parts of America. Authorities describe him as an eccentric but brilliant college drop-out who conducted his affairs from his multi-million dollar stone mansion. His 12-room house was transformed into a bizarre clearing house, crammed with up to 100 computers linked to satellite data feeds. Armed guards patrolled the property and up to 10 luxury cars were often parked in the drive, leading neighbours to fear the home was a drug gang headquarters. The money manager, who always wore jeans and lumberjack shirts, was obsessed with secrecy. His bedroom was furnished with three 32-inch television sets wired to cable and satellite TV, along with security cameras. "He didn't like to be disturbed," explained one former employee. The FBI believe Frankel set up the sophisticated fraud through insurance clients who invested with his Liberty National Securities so he could purchase government bonds on their behalf. At least some of the missing money is believed to have been channelled into Switzerland and several of the companies he dealt with are now bankrupt or in receivership. The alleged fraud was discovered after firemen were called to the house and found a burning file cabinet and two fireplaces stuffed with smouldering shredded documents. One scrap of paper on a to-do list read: paper on a to-do list read: "Launder the money". In addition to finance, Frankel dabbled in astrology. According to an affidavit filed in court, charts found in his home sought answers from the stars ranging from Frankel's possible imprisonment to mundane financial matters. According to papers filed by investigators he wrote: 1. Will I go to prison? 2. Will Tom turn me in? 3. Should I leave? 4. Should I wire the money back from over-seas? 5.

He notes that his unit -- and the men in the field -- did a good job and that the U.S. was not taken by surprise at Tet 1968. His experience is echoed in my own. However doing a good job at the working level, (in my case) and his, made no difference. The momentum in Vietnam to win and to ignore pessimistic intelligence permeated the upper levels. I tried from 1967 to 1975 to warn about the structures of the enemy being underreported and for my efforts I was relieved of any position of influence.

I provided a number of citations to highly authenticated and checkable sources to document my case -- I would like to suggest that Mr. Langston acquire access to these sources and then advise who was lying and where. I do not wish to cause him or other Vietnam veterans pain -- I merely wish to demonstrate the proclivities and inability's of the upper levels of the intelligence community.

[CTRL] Fwd: SECRET HILL REPORT ON PRC IN PANAMA
http://www.softwar.net/panama1.html Investigative Report THE PANAMA CANAL IN TRANSITION: THREATS TO U.S. SECURITY and CHINA's GROWING ROLE IN LATIN AMERICA SECTION BLACKED OUT Introduction: The Panama Canal, one of the world's key strategic waterways, is scheduled to be turned over to the Panamanian government on December 31, 1999. The Canal remains vital to American trade and defense capabilities. The Canal remains the vital sea link in the Western Hemisphere between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and an economic and logistical bridgehead between North America and South America. Currently, some 15 to 20 percent of total U.S. exports/imports pass through the Canal, including some 40% of all grain exports. It is also a vulnerable "front-line" state against the spread of narcotics and terrorism that plague its South American neighbors. Ironically, the day that the delegation arrived in Panama, a week after the closure of the U.S. counter-narcotics center at Howard Air Base, heavily-armed Colombian narco-terrorist forces operating on Panamanian soil, dressed in full combat gear, were interviewed on national television. Panama has been the only country in Central or South America to host an active US military presence [SOUTHCOM] and permanent military training and operations bases. All of the American military bases, including counter-narcotics operations centers, are scheduled to close by June 30, 1999. The People's Republic of China, through the Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. company, which has close ties to the PRC government and People's Liberation Army (PLA), was granted a 25-year lease, with an additional 25 year option, for control of the Canals Atlantic and Pacific Ocean ports of Balboa and Cristobal and adjacent facilities. The delegation witnessed Hutchison Whampoa conducting major construction and port facility expansion at both the Atlantic and Pacific Canal ports. Hutchison Whampoa will control the stevedoring [loading and unloading of ship cargo] at the ports. The company also has a substantial interest in the railroad line that coordinates transportation of cargo between the ports. In addition, the Chinese company is a major bidder on construction of a new suspension bridge that will link "land canal" highways that will truck oversized cargo containers between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The war in neighboring Columbia against well-armed narco-terrorist forces, with a history of ties to Cuba, is escalating and threatens to spread throughout the region. Panama does not have an army, navy or air Force, The Panamanian government has an ongoing reputation for corruption and mismanagement. Chinese organized crime organizations are active in drugs, guns and illegal alien smuggling in Panama, and the Russian mafia is known to be supplying weapons to Columbian narco-terrorist forces. On June 1 - 4, 1999, X, special assistant to X , Asia and Pacific specialist on the X XX traveled on a fact finding mission to Panama. XX XX In Panama, the delegation coordinated meetings with XX XX XX XX XX In Panama, the delegation met with current and former Panamanian political leaders, Canal workers, journalists, U.S. embassy officials, US military representative and informal American and Panamanian private citizens. In addition, the delegation drove the length of the Canal, observing the ports of Balboa and Cristobal, the Free Trade Zone in Colon and operations of the important canal locks at Miraflores and Gatun. In addition, the delegation visited U.S. military facilities at Fort Clayton [Pacific Coast] and Fort Sherman Jungle Operations Training Center [Atlantic Coast], Mission Goal: The goal of the mission was to make a cogent assessment of the developing situation in Panama, including the role of communist China at the Canal and the growing threat of narco-terrorist forces in the region. There appears to be a lack of information or concern on the part of the U.S. Congress and the American public. The muted debate over the Canal in the United States has been polarized. Some public interest organizations, warn of Chinese military bases eventually being created in Panama and even a future missile threat. On the other hand, the Clinton administration and a number of professional bureaucrats consider those fears unfounded and have no qualms about China's growing role at the Canal. By most accounts, an unfair and corrupt contractual bidding process, which was protested by the U.S. ambassador to Panama, enabled the Chinese Hutchison Wham

[CTRL] Three More Bodies Found In Disney Pond
-Caveat Lector- from: http://news.excite.com/news/r/990622/15/odd-disney-deaths http://news.excite.com/news/r/990622/15/odd-disney-deaths">Three More Bodies Found In Disney Pond - Three More Bodies Found In Disney Pond Updated 3:22 PM ET June 22, 1999ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - Three bodies were pulled from a pond at Walt Disney Co's "Celebration" community, bringing to at least four the number of people who have died in the water there in recent months, police said Tuesday. The three bodies discovered in a sport utility vehicle submerged in the pond were believed to be three Massachusetts men missing for nine months. The vehicle's license plate number identified it as the one that Scott Renquin, 35, Dan Nelson, 32, and Roger DesVergnes, 31, were using when they disappeared on Sept. 28 during an Orlando vacation. Sgt. Darryl Farrar of the Orlando Police Department said police were waiting for dental records from Massachusetts before positively identifying the bodies as those of the three men, from the Attleboro area near Boston. Police detectives said they decided to search the pond for the men after a series of accidents and close calls there. Celebration is a town built by Disney near the company's sprawling Walt Disney World holiday complex. Celebration is intended to mimic traditional "small-town" America, complete with a neighborhood feel, leafy streets and tightly controlled building guidelines. The bodies were found in a pond near an interstate highway at the end of World Drive in Celebration. Drivers who miss a stop sign and do not turn left onto Celebration Boulevard can end up in the water. The Orlando Sentinel newspaper reported that authorities have pulled nearly a half-dozen vehicles from the pond in recent months. Farrar said he was aware of at least one other fatal accident involving the pond. Divers used sonar to locate the vehicle. Their equipment also detected a three-foot-long (one meter) alligator they had had to work to avoid during the operation. The disappearance of the three Massachusetts men drew national attention after another tourist visiting Orlando, Anthony Frank of Sausalito, California, disappeared from an area hotel at about the same time that the three men vanished. Frank was found in April in the woods in Georgia. He told investigators he had been held as a sex slave for more than six months in an incident with no relation to the Massachusetts mens' disappearance. Disney officials were not immediately available to comment.

[CTRL] [2] DOES SATANIC/SADISTIC RITUAL ABUSE EXIST?
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.religioustolerance.org/ra_non1.htm http://www.religioustolerance.org/ra_non1.htm">DOES SATANIC/SADISTIC RITUAL ABUSE EXIST? PART 2 - Just what will you tolerate? FYI Om K --[2] -- DOES SATANIC/SADISTIC RITUAL ABUSE EXIST? PART 2 INDICATORS THAT SADISTIC/SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE DOES NOT EXIST (Cont'd) 12. BURIAL OF CORPSES There have been countless instances in which a SRA survivor has taken police investigators to the exact location where she saw bodies being buried after human sacrifices. The police search the area and sometimes bring in heavy earth moving machinery to help. At most, they will recover a few bones from animals who have died of natural causes. No bodies have ever been unearthed. SRA promoters will counter the lack of corpses with the assertion that the Satanists came back later, secretly dug up the bodies and buried them elsewhere. They would have done this in order to ruin the credibility of any member who turned against the "cult". But this theory does not hold water. One has to dig a pit in order to bury a body. And, even when the pit is filled in, it is still detectable - often for tens of thousands of years. The change in soil consistency between firm, compacted dirt and loose dirt is easily detected. Bacteria will grow quickly in loose earth and change the soil color significantly. So, even if the bodies are removed, the filled-in pits remain in place. 13. ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERIES BY POLICE OR FIRE FIGHTERS One would expect that a building somewhere where SRA was practiced would eventually catch on fire. The fire fighters would then find evidence (pens for holding victims, blood soaked altar, etc.). Similarly, a SRA location would sooner or later be entered by the police in a drug raid, and evidence would be found. No such cases are known. 14. MAJOR GOVERNMENT STUDIES Investigations have been completed by four governments: the state of Virginia (1991), and the governments of Great Britain (1994), the Netherlands (1994) and the United States (1994). All have shown that SRA does not exist at any significant level in their jurisdictions. If SRA existed in any level, one would expect at least one government study somewhere would have found evidence of it. 15. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SRA Belief about widespread SRA and a strong SRA industry exists only in countries, where belief of the reality of the Christian devil as an evil, active, person is widespread. These include the US, Canada, and England. With the possible exception of the Netherlands, "Satanic panics" have not been triggered in countries in which belief in the Satan is rare. They have fizzled in the rest of Europe. If SRA exists internationally, one would expect it to be present in all nominally Christian countries. The prevalence of SRA beliefs appear to be related to our beliefs about Satan rather than any objective reality. 16. WHERE DO THE HUMAN SACRIFICES COME FROM? There are about 25,000 known homicides in the US each year. SRA promoters typically claim that an additional 50,000 people, mostly infants, are killed in human sacrifices by Satanic (and similar) groups. Since the kidnapping of even one child can trigger a nation-wide search, it is difficult to comprehend how 50,000 could disappear and not be noticed. SRA promoters often answer this argument with the concept of breeding camps. These are concentration camps in which thousands of women are kept prisoner, and continually kept pregnant. Their new-born babies are then transported across the US and Canada for sacrifice. One such camp near Cornwall ON is supposed to imprison 2,500 women. This would pose serious problems of concealment. Such a camp would be many times larger than the largest of Canadian penitentiaries, and would require a total staff of about 1000. Any of the staff could become instantly very rich by simply telling their story to the National Inquirer; it would be the story of the decade. Such a prison would be impossible to hide for long. SRA would require a plentiful supply of babies for sacrifice. No such supply exists. 17. GENDER IMBALANCE AMONG SRA PERPETRATORS The SRA industry promotes the concept that most abuse and programming is done by parents of survivors; i.e. by both mother and father. The abuse, torture and human sacrifices by Satanists (or other groups) is viewed as both: 1.intra-family: involving the victim, her mother, her father and perhaps grand parents 2.inter-family: involving a Satanic grotto composed of many mothers, fathers and their children. The perpetrators are thus evenly divided between men and women. However, the vast majority of sexual predators of children are male. Convicted pedophiles are almost all male; few females are ever involved. Thus the SRA industry's belief concerning the gender makeup of the perpetrators does not agree with decades of studies of sexual abusers. 18. INTER-GENERATIONAL CONTINUITY OF ABUSE The SRA industry promotes the concept

We will ship it to Book Description The three most powerful of the ultra-traditionalist movements within the Catholic Church engage in secret initiation ceremonies, brainwashing techniques involving ego destruction, moral and spiritual intimidation and highly questionable, even dangerous, psycotherapeutic practices. These three movements--Focolare, Communion and Liberation and the Neocatechumenate--have a total world membership of around thirty million . They are completely self-contained, and each is ruled by a charismatic founder, the centre of a fanatical personality cult. In many respects these movements behave like other sects such as the Moonies. Yet they have the strong support of Pope John Paul himself, who has adopted them as his personal 'Armada': his task-force for a crusade of extreme right-wing values. The author, who for nine years was a Focolare leader, draws on interviews with ex-members and his own experiences to reveal the bizarre hidden world of these organizations. The Pope's Armada shockingly depicts a potent and sinister force for reaction, which could turn out to be John Paul II's most enduring legacy. --This text refers to the mass market paperback edition of this title >From the Publisher "A remarkably balanced and informative account... his book is disturbing" -Karen Armstrong, New Statesman and Society "Urquhart's own experience of leading a cult within the Catholic Church will blast away your complacency forever" -Manchester Evening News --This text refers to the mass market paperback edition of this title Copyright and disclaimer © 1996-1999, Amazon.com, Inc.

For all its glory, the Declaration of Independence is not a legally- binding document. It is fine propaganda, a beautiful proclamation, but it ain't law. It triggered a war, just as Confederate secession triggered a war, just as ANY non-Constitutional separations trigger wars. If you attempt to secede without first building the appropriate Constitutional structure, you'll provoke massive death and destruction. Get a Secession Amendment passed, and separation will be bloodless and almost automatic.

Republic means, rule by representatives. Democracy means, selection of those representatives by more-or-less popular vote. That's exactly what was set up in the Constitution. Art.1 Sect.1: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States" - ie a republic. Art.1 Sect.2: "The [Congress] shall be composed of Members chosen... by the People of the several States" - ie a democracy. Call it what you want, the US is indeed a democratic republic. Your decrepit revisionist arguments have no merit. Bother. Let's expand this a bit: I'm fascinated by all the 16th-, 17th-, 18th- and 19th-century thinking that abounds here as we're moving into the 21st century. Let's think of database design: once we go beyond flat-files, the basic topologies are 1) hierarchical, 2) relational, and 3) networked. In this analogy, flat- files are feudal, rigid; hierarchies are monarchical, militaristic; the relational DB is democratic, flexible; the networked DB is dynamic, neo- anarchic, decentralized. There's a direct connexion between the speed and complexity of communications, and those levels of organization I just listed. Afoot or ahorse, you're feudal, flat-filed; link a land with rails and you can implement hierarchies; add telegraph, telephones, motor-road webs, and you can go relational; get wired and wireless, and autonomous entities can network with ease. What's the next step, when we have cellphones implanted in our nervous systems and are effectively telepathic - not a group-mind, but a constellation of consciousnesses? Hey, I'm talking analogy here; don't sweat the details. Think of trends. Conspiratorialists seem fixated on replicating flat or hierarchic social structures onto the world, rarely envisioning the flexibility and freedom of democratic association and networked dynamism. Engrossed with alleged Rothchild/Rockefeller plots, not noticing that international finance is now totally decentralized, uncontrolled, flowing thru sub-centers and ever-increasing numbers of local nodes at speeds and volumes that are barely conceivable, let alone graspable. Talking of Southern Secession, when Southern politicians already control all branches of US Gov't - to secede would mean to RELINQUISH that control, which just ain't likely. Focusing on models of the past, ignoring the future that's now evolving, where one person with a telephone can organize an international ban on landmines against the efforts of the world's major military powers, or another person with a telephone can organize a bombing campaign against the mightiest state. Individuals are now more empowered than at any time in human history - not all individuals, just those who recognize the links, the possibilities, the strength of intentional networks. Southern secession? Ya sure, by golly.Next subject? DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] CULT CONTROL
-Caveat Lector- from: http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/magazine/1997/int/970127/religion.cult_control. html http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/magazine/1997/int/970127/religion.cult_co ntrol.html">CULT CONTROL - JANUARY 27, 1997 VOL. 149 NO. 4 RELIGION CULT CONTROL EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS SEARCH FOR WAYS TO CONTAIN THE GROWING INFLUENCE OF RELIGIOUS SECTS WITHOUT ENDANGERING FREEDOM OF BELIEF BY ROD USHER Faith is in the eye of the believer. Alain Gest, the French politician who presided over a parliamentary commission investigating cults and new religious movements, puts it bluntly: "If you want to wake up at 4 am each day to pray to an onion that you call God, I have nothing against it." But he adds: "Where I do have a problem is if you also pray in my name or on my behalf, and ask me for $30,000 for it. That is where we are drawing the line." In France and around the world, the need to draw a line between mainstream and manipulative beliefs is becoming pressing as new proselytizers--from mere adapters of traditional creeds to frightening merchants of doom--blur the distinction. Trying to reconcile the resulting clash between liberty and protection is proving a big headache for governments. The French parliamentary commission, in a report published last year, underscored the problem facing most countries when it said: "The notion of the sect is totally absent within French law." It added: "Religion being the private sphere of citizens...creates the legal impossibility of defining the social forms religious exercise can take..." But the conundrum has to be addressed as bizarre new groups, from Aum Shinrikyo to the Order of the Solar Temple, take belief to such lethal extremes as putting gas in the Tokyo subway or committing group suicide in French forests. Many modern seekers of souls--and frequently wallets--call themselves churches and claim the enshrined rights the name entails. Some of them cause families to fall apart, or prove that a faithful fool and his money are easily parted. The French commission listed as characteristics found among these groups: mental destabilization; rupture with a member's previous environment; physical abuse or constraint; sequestration of children; anti-social messages; threats to public order; unorthodox financial practices; and possible infiltration of government. The rise of cults and new religious movements has accompanied the decline in congregations of traditional religions. Their prime attraction is gospels that wash away the doubt and searching intrinsic to older creeds. They offer Simon Says theology instead, a follow-the-earthly-leader approach which appeals because ultimately leaps to obedience are easier than leaps of faith. Says Daphne Vane, of the Britain's Families Action Information Resource (fair), which counsels cult-leavers and families: "In the past 20 years we have seen a burgeoning of new movements offering solace and a total solution." The European approach to this upsurge of both benign and malign unorthodoxy differs from that in the United States, where many of the new groups began. While the European response tends to be tougher, it is anything but unified. Nowhere is the liberty/watchdog debate more polemical than in Germany. Says Ingo Heinemann, of the Bonn-based Campaign for Intellectual and Psychic Freedom, a parents' committee: "Consumer protection is already the law for medical or food items, and it's time that the state regulates the psycho market as well. These organizations can take away people's ability to protect themselves." Various German states have heeded this advice, but there are also voices raised against intervention, calling it at best unnecessary, at worst discriminatory. Says Irwin Scheuch, emeritus professor of sociology at Cologne University: "Sects come and go. Nobody should really get that excited. The danger to German society is not the sects but the hysterical reaction to them." Some reaction has been intense enough to ruffle international diplomacy. The U.S. State Department, in its annual reports on human rights, has criticized the German Government for "discrimination" against the Church of Scientology, which claims to have about 30,000 followers among more than 80 million Germans. The U.S. attitude has been firmed by action taken in Germany against American Scientologists, such as jazz pianist Chick Corea, who in 1993 was barred from playing at a state- sponsored concert in Bavaria. Last October, Scientologists renewed a campaign begun in 1995, placing advertisements in American newspapers using Holocaust references to claim their treatment is comparable to that of the Jews by the Nazis. The State Department eventually balked at this, spokesman Nicholas Burns calling the comparison "outrageous." The department's initial stand, however, reveals the gap betwe

What sorts of fringe groups exist? Who joins up and why? What do they want and what are they willing to do to accomplish their goals? How serious is the danger? In response to these questions, noted experts John George and Laird Wilcox have teamed up to examine the frayed edges of human behaviour Beginning with a summary of pre-1960 movements, they then discuss conspiracy theories and what motivates extremists. Their thoroughly documented and detailed tour of contemporary groups on the "far left" and the 'far right" includes recent militia groups making headlines. Included as well is an in-depth appendix on the use of fake quotes and fabricated documents a staple of many extremist organisations. John George (Edmond, OK) is professor of political science and sociology at the University of Central Oklahoma. Laird Wilcox (Olathe, KS) is founder of The Wilcox Collection of Contemporary Political Movements, the largest collection of extremist literature in the United States. 443 pp (Photo Insert, Appendices, Index) ISBN 1-57392-058-4 Paper $18.95 (6 x 9) Return to Social Science and Current Events List - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.prometheusbooks.com/prometheus/blaltar.htm http://www.prometheusbooks.com/prometheus/blaltar.htm">Blood on the Altar - BLOOD ON THE ALTAR Confessions of a Jehovah 's Witness Minister David A. Reed "More kids are dying right now in obedience to the Jehovah's Witnesses ban on blood transfusions than perished in the fire at Waco, Texas," says former Witness elder David A. Reed. "How can a major sect with headquarters in New York City and twelve million attending its religious services world-wide quietly lead victims to early deaths without public outcry?" Reed cites dozens of well-documented cases - media reports naming victims, doctors, and hospitals issuing their death certificates - as he blows the whistle on a deadly cult that secretly instructs members to kidnap children from hospital beds and teaches children to resist doctors violently and give false testimony in court. This former minister, now widely recognized as an authority on the sect, explains his own role in bringing new members tinder mind control. With captivating anecdotes he details an enforcement apparatus that reaches even into clinics and hospitals. He brings to light secret instructions for hospital employees to turn over confidential patient records to the church, and tells how the hierarchy conducts bedside trials of members who accept forbidden medical treatment. Reed joined the sect as a naive young adult and rose through the ranks until he learned how the secretive leadership operated. Realizing that his friends were dying for beliefs supposedly channelled from God, but actually fabricated by the church hierarchy. After leaving the sect, he spent years researching its history and activities evidence revealed here for the first time. Reed's warning cannot be ignored. David A. Reed (Assonet.

[CTRL] CANNIBALISM - From Sacrifice to Survival
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.prometheusbooks.com/prometheus/cannibal.htm http://www.prometheusbooks.com/prometheus/cannibal.htm">CANNIBALISM - CANNIBALISM >From Sacrifice to Survival Hans Askenasy, Ph.D. The idea of "cannibalism" tends to conjure up the notion of ferocious primitive tribes in the jungles of Africa cooking one of their enemies. Cannibalism: From Sacrifice to Survival shows that this practice is all too common. Written in a clear and accessible style, psychologist Hans Askenasy has developed the first comprehensive history of a subject that is a combination of extreme violence, horror and exotic customs. Askenasy discusses the many well-known incidents of cannibalism, including the lnca and Aztecs, Georg Haarman, the Donner Party, the Leningrad siege during World War II, the Andes airplane crash. the Colorado man-eater, and Jeffrey Dahmer, as well as the historical background of cannibalism including natural and man-made famines, magic, religious rituals, sacrifice, werewolves, witches, and vampires. Askenasy also addresses our continuing fascination with cannibalism - from the Andes crash movie Alive to Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula; from Jeffrey Dahmer in Wisconsin to Chikatilo in Rostov. The only book of its kind, Canniballism: From Sacrifice to Survival is an absorbing examination of human behaviour, too often shrouded in mystery until now. Hans Askenasy (Laguna Beach, CA) is a clinical psychologist in private practice. He is the author of many articles and books, including Are We All Nazis? and the critically acclaimed Hitler's Secret. 268 pages (Photo Inserts) Publication date: 30th March, 1995 ISBN 0-87975-906-2 Return to Social Science and Current Events List - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

[CTRL] [1] DOES SATANIC/SADISTIC RITUAL ABUSE EXIST?
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.religioustolerance.org/ra_none.htm http://www.religioustolerance.org/ra_none.htm">DOES SATANIC/SADISTIC RITUAL ABUSE EXIST? (PART - Just what will you tolerate? FYI Om K --[1]-- DOES SATANIC/SADISTIC RITUAL ABUSE EXIST? (PART 1) Ritual Abuse is also called SRA, Satanic Ritual Abuse, Ritualistic Abuse, Sadistic Ritual Abuse, Cult Related Abuse, etc.) What People Believe: Some believe that a high-tech, secret, international Satanic organization engages in horrendous ritual abuse, mutilation and torture - largely of children. Some attribute abuse to mind and behavior control cults or other hidden groups. 50,000 ritual human sacrifices are commonly estimated to occur each year in the US alone. Perpetrators are believed to drink the blood and eat the flesh of the victims and engage in sexual excesses. Generational Satanists are believed to exist who sacrifice some of their children and pass on their killing and mutilating rituals to other children. A SRA industry composed of seminar speakers and authors has sprung up to promote this belief system. Does It Exist? The simple answers are yes and no. It does not exist as an international conspiracy. It does not exist as a widespread underground inter-generational cult that passes its abusive beliefs and practices from grandparents to parents to children. There have been a few, isolated cases of activities that might be called "Sadistic Ritual Abuse", although none match the belief system described above and none are done by intergenerational secret "cults". Investigators are thus divided on the existence and nature of this form of abuse. Some believe that there are an average of 50,000 ritual murders per year in North America; others believe very few or none. It is essentially impossible to prove that something does not exist. For example, who can prove that they did not beat their spouse last year on the evening of January 15th?. However, there are strong indications that SRA is not practiced at any significant level in North America. INDICATORS THAT SADISTIC/SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE DOES NOT EXIST 1.1800 YEAR HISTORY OF UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOURS: Rumors of an evil, underground, abusive religious group were well documented during the early history of the Christian church. W.J. Bethancourt III 1 quotes a (presumably Pagan) Roman writer from the 1st century CE. Minicus Felix wrote the following piece of hate literature which describes how the Christians allegedly kidnapped babies, ritually killed them, dismembered them, drank their blood, ate their flesh and engaged in degenerate sexual practices: "As for the initiation of new members, the details are as disgusting as they are well known. The novice himself, deceived by the coating of dough (covering a sacrificial infant), thinks the stabs are harmless. Then, it's horrible! They hungrily drink the blood and compete with one another as they divide his limbs. And the fact they all share knowledge of the crime pledges them all to silence. On the feast-day they foregather with all their children, sisters, mothers, people of either sex and all ages. Now, in the dark, so favorable to shameless behavior, they twine the bonds of unnamable passion, as chance decides. Precisely the secrecy of this evil religion proves that all these things, or practically all, are true." This "urban folk tale," of course, never happened. It was simply an attempt to organize religious hatred against a new religion. The first century hate literature was based on: the practices of some Christians to seek out and save the lives of abandoned infants; the rumor implied that the babies were later murdered in rituals the communion ritual in which Christians consumed wine and bread, with the belief that it had been transmuted into the blood and body of Christ; the rumor implied that real blood and body parts were used during the ritual the practice of early Christians to have a shared meal and social gathering; the rumor implied that these were orgies The same basic story has continued intermittently in many variations for some 1800 years. The Church used it against the heretics, lepers, Cathars, Knights Templar and Witches during the period 1000 to 1800 AD. Hitler used it against the Jews and Gypsies during the 1930's. The USSR used it against the Jews more recently. A variety of SRA promoters are using it against Satanists, followers of minority religions, men's fraternal organizations, self help groups, etc. today. The stories are almost identical (less the coating of dough). Historians do not believe that these tales were true in the past; there is no reason to assume that the latest manifestation of the same rumor is true today. Promoters of SRA are simply continuing the lies of the Inquisition, of Nazi Germany, and of the USSR into the 1990's. Most are believed to do this unknowingly. Most firmly believe in the reality of SRA. 2.FRAUDS IN THE SRA INDUSTRY Much of the public's current be

Of course, there's no provision in the US Constitution for the dissolution of our democratic republic, no legal mechanism for seceding; so if this 'movement' is to bear fruit without seeing another US Civil War, the secessionists must first enact a con- stitutional amendment authorizing states to withdraw from the Union. So, secessionist fervor must be engaged across the US. The resultant Dixie Republic, likely comprised of Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, would be an economic 'powerhouse' about on a par with, say, Italy, and would be easily controlled by financial interests based in Cali and Medellin, Columbia - in other words, it would be a plaything of druglords. The NSA and CIA, both based in Virginia, would have free reign across the realm. What a nice place, eh? The transplanted Yankees, Canadians, Cubans and other Latinos and Islanders of Florida would not be inclined to join Dixie, nor would the Hispanics of Texas. The Texas Republic would likely be reconstituted, an oil and agribiz realm of some importance. A new California Republic would be reborn too, with the 6th largest economy in the world, dwarfing Dixie & Texas. Other independent bio/geo-regions would emerge: a Kingdom of Hawaii [but with a Japanese king?]; Oregon and Washington associating with Western Canadian secessionists to form ABC, American-British Columbia; New England merging with the Canadian Maritimes; etc. Hmmm, by the time the US balkanizes totally, California will be the fifth or fourth largest economy in the world, the dominant realm of North America. Read all about it in Joel Garreau's book THE NINE NATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA. Then consider who'll wield power. DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Good Decision For Jury Rights
-Caveat Lector- This is a good decision regarding Jury Rights. The requirement that juries must return a unanimous verdict in criminal cases is probably the last "citizen's defense" against statism. For years, the statists have sought to weaken the jury system and many judges try to interfere with the process in order to get the verdict they want. Regards, Fred Woeckener Symington Conviction Overturned Associated Press Wednesday, June 23, 1999; Page A02 PHOENIX, June 22-A federal appeals court today overturned the bank fraud convictions that drove Gov. Fife Symington from office in 1997, saying a juror who insisted Symington was not guilty was wrongly removed by the judge during deliberations. A 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 that there was a "reasonable possibility" that Mary Jane Cotey was removed because she disagreed with other jurors about Symington's guilt, not because she failed to take part in the deliberations. Symington--who was sentenced to 2 1/2 years behind bars but remained free on appeal--is entitled to a new trial. SNIP Six days into jury deliberations, U.S. District Judge Roger Strand dismissed Cotey and replaced her with an alternate. Other jurors said that Cotey, 76, was inattentive and confused, didn't seem to understand some evidence and wouldn't explain her positions. After interviewing Cotey and other jurors, Strand concluded that she was "either unable or unwilling to deliberate with her colleagues," a permissible ground for removal. Cotey said later that she would have voted to acquit and that fellow jurors forced her out because they wanted to convict him. The appeals court said a judge cannot dismiss a juror if there is a reasonable possibility that the reason stems from the juror's views. Instead, the judge must order more deliberations or declare a mistrial. © Copyright 1999 The Associated Press DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

The text Coverup? "El HAARPO" Whose thought was that? The real story RADAR Evidence Quake city Turning it around HAARP Fundamentals EM Warfare INTRODUCTION HAARP--High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program. HAARP--the kind angels will never strum. HAARP--the futuristic nightmare project which is currently in operation, researching a wide variety of effects and phenomena, as well as possible uses and applications for such, resulting from beaming massively powerful radio signals into targeted regions of the ionosphere; a project which has given environmental activists, constitutionalists, airline pilots along with ionospheric physicists and other groups, such as normal, ordinary people definite cause for some serious concern. Contrary to information made public by the operators of HAARP, it is no longer a relatively small, preliminary venture limited to one (nevertheless extremely powerful) transmitter site in the remote Alaskan back country. Contrary to much of the official noise being generated regarding the supposed "benign" uses for this multi agenda’d operation, the internal intelligence/military documentation and a growing amount of supporting material shows that HAARP is in fact at this point fulfilling some highly secret and highly advanced functions; in fact, some very negative and completely objectionable functions. The acknowledged, publicized applications for potential applications of HAARP technology are primarily: Enhancement of or interference with communications, as well as development of new types of radio transmissions; “Investigation” of effects on weather patterns; Earth-penetrating tomography -- an X-ray like function which can reveal, for example, the existence of underground installations as well as oil or mineral deposits. Some of the other principal yet unpublicized goals are: Weapons-related (physical/psychological disablement) and mind control uses; Large scale tampering/modification of global weather patterns via ionospheric disturbances “Pushing the envelope" in terms of pumping electromagnetic energy into the ionosphere, just to see what happens. It bears emphasizing here that any such references to HAARP being used for EM mind control come directly from numerous internal documents and repeated references therein to HAARP's capabilities as electromagnetic mind modification/manipulation technology and intentions to so implement HAARP. There are yet further agendas for HAARP even more covert than these, as this report will discuss. HAARP ON LONG ISLAND! Some very interesting information about HAARP has recently come light. To provide a background for some of this information, we go back to early last summer when Brookhaven National Laboratories on Long Island underwent a significant and far reaching change of directorship, and subsequently a change of direction and focus.

INTRODUCTION
I've
conducted a two year investigation into allegations regarding
ultra-top-secret experiments carried out by clandestine units of
both U.S. and "world" government intelligence and military
agencies, corporations such as Airborne Instrument Laboratories,
Siemens/ITT, as well as certain divisions of Brookhaven National
Laboratories and other groups -- from the 1950s up to present times
-- at a fully verified and documented subterranean facility beneath
the purportedly abandoned and derelict Montauk Air Force Station.
Certain of these activities are by all indications currently
ongoing. The radar station is at the extreme eastern tip of Long
Island, N.Y.'s south fork.
The remnants of the surface military
installation are indeed in severe disrepair, but the underground
continues to be active. Ludicrously enough, the surface of the land
is now a N.Y. State Park... on paper at least. However by terms of
the deed, the Federal government still retains all rights to any and
all property beneath the surface! Investigations reveal that several
new, deeper levels have been added in the early 1990s.
Fields of research conducted there are
said to include principally electromagnetic mind control; also
psychotronics (interfacing mind & machine), particle beams
technology and interdimensional/"time travel" experiments
("black-hole simulations and warping time-space). Very strong
evidence indicates particle accelerators are in use there and at
nearby facilities -- such as Brookhaven Labs -- for
powering the particle beam weapons, HAARP transmissions and exotic
particle beam radar systems.
The continuing lack of any credible
explanation for what caused the crash of TWA Flight 800 nearly a
year and a half ago offshore from Westhampton has focused
considerable attention on eastern Long Island as a place where
unusual things happen unusually often. In fact, there are
substantial indications that particle beam operations at Brookhaven
Labs the night of July 17 1996 were in fact (at least) partially
responsible for the disaster, and this is delved into in more depth
within the report.
I've put together the report based on
personal interviews with project participants, on-site
investigations at Montauk Air Force Station (Camp Hero), and
extensive historical and background research. This report verifies
without doubt current clandestine activities at the underground
installation, as well as other locations mentioned; it includes
corroborative testimony from area residents and visitors who have
very recently had frightening encounters at this location with
mysterious, threatening unidentified security personnel toting
automatic weapons.
In the past year mainstream newspapers in
Montauk and East Hampton such as the Montauk Pioneer and The East
Hampton Independent have carried several articles about various
aspects of the "Montauk Project". For many in the area it
is (unfortunately) becoming an accepted part of life there, as it
has for others who have found the preponderance of solid evidence

[CTRL] Red China and Oil
http://www.china.org.cn/ChinaInBrief/17e5405p.html CHINA'S PETROLEUM INDUSTRY: A Summary of China's Oil and Gas Industry Excerpts: "By the end of the year 2000, the petrochemical industry will have become China's key industry. "China's annual output of crude oil is expected to reach 200 million tons by 2010, one-third more than at present. If these estimates are met, China will become the fifth largest oil producing country in the world. "China has no need to import large amounts of FOREIGN oil because the nation is rich in oil resources ... "Since the 1980s, China's offshore petroleum industry has made great strides through cooperation with transnational corporations such as the French company, TOTAL, and the American corporation, the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) ... "Between January and August of 1996, China signed 12 contracts with foreign companies to explore and develop China's land oil resources. This brought to 30 the total of such contracts signed since 1985, when China's land petroleum industry first opened to the outside world. "Foreign investment capital [for land oil development] totals nearly US $ 1 billion. "In 1983, China Petro-Chemical Corporation (SINOPEC) was founded to hasten development of the petrochemical industry and to assure the best use of China's oil and gas resources. "Between 1983 and 1995, its total assets increased TENFOLD, making it the world's third largest petroleum corporation. "Due to shrinking land oil reserves and slow increases in output from old land oil fields, China's offshore petroleum industry is being rapidly developed. "Offshore oil production accounts for 81 per cent of China's yearly increase in crude oil production ... Thus, the offshore petroleum industry is becoming increasingly important to China's national economy. "The offshore petroleum industry has developed rapidly since 1982. Between 1982 and 1996, its annual output of offshore crude oil increased from 80,000 tons to 18 million tons. "China's 13 offshore oil and gas fields have profit margins of 40 percent. By the year 2000, [China] expects to have paid off its [investment] debt of 400 million US dollars ... "Foreign investments of US $5 billion account for 58 percent of China's capital for offshore development. "China is drilling offshore in the East China Sea, expecting to find rich oil reserves. The East China Sea Company, a state subsidiary, is cooperating with American corporations to conduct the drilling ... "Extracting offshore oil and gas is an expensive, high-risk operation that applies advanced science and technology. "The offshore petroleum industry was China's first industry to open to the outside world. "External cooperation began in 1982 ... "After 1992, it hastened opening to the outside world and has signed 27 oil contracts with 32 foreign companies and acquired US $740 million in foreign capital. "China has gone through three stages: from being simply a source of raw materials, to being a PARTNER with large western petroleum corporations, to finally becoming an international COMPETITOR dependent solely upon its own expertise. "In 1994, China bought all shares of oil owned by Atlantic Richfield (ARCO) in the Malacca area of Indonesia, thereby becoming its largest shareholder. This is the first OVERSEAS oil site owned by China, the largest and most profitable in China's petroleum industry. "China's petroleum department is currently exploring and developing oil and gas fields in Peru, Thailand, Sudan, and elsewhere. It has also become involved in bidding projects, one being the development of a large oil field in Kazakstan. "China and Russia plan to jointly develop a gas pipeline from eastern Siberia to China. "China hopes to cooperate with Gulf States that are rich in oil. The Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait ministers of petroleum or resources have all visited China to discuss oil investments. Saudi Arabia plans to build an oil refinery joint venture in Shandong Province. "China is negotiating a contract with Iraq to develop an oil field that wil l output 5 million tons annually. "China has signed a contract with Kuwait to produce US $400 million worth of oil equipment. Chinese oil companies are seeking joint cooperation in drilling other oil fields in the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf States." http://www.loudmouth.demon.co.uk/cioge.html Your passport to China's billion dollar oil and gas industry The opening of China's oil and gas industry has revealed business opportunities for international companies worth billions of dollars across all sectors of the industry. With production levels reaching 150 million tonnes a year, together with the discovery of substantial oil and gas reserves, the industry is in need of urgent new technology and equipment to meet these ever increasing demands.

[CTRL] Russians Blamed for Serb Atrocities
-Caveat Lector- KLA Says Russians Fought for Serbs By ROBERT BURNS .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Russians fought in Kosovo alongside Serb forces, and their role will be part of an international war crimes investigation, the Pentagon's spokesman said Tuesday. ``We certainly know that Russians participated. Russian volunteers, mercenaries, we believe, did participate with paramilitary and other Serb forces,'' Kenneth Bacon said. He had been asked to comment on a report in Newsday that dozens of Russian volunteers had participated in the killing of hundreds of ethnic Albanians and the destruction of towns and villages around Prizren in southern Kosovo. ``I do not have verification that there were units or groups of the size that Newsday reports,'' Bacon added. ``But we do believe that there was some Russian participation.'' The Pentagon also announced that 12 Air Force B-52 bombers are expected to begin returning to their U.S. bases on Wednesday from England, where they flew strike missions against Yugoslavia throughout NATO's bombing campaign. In all, nearly 400 U.S. planes will return to normal duty in coming weeks, Bacon said. The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, whose F/A-18 and F-14 warplanes participated in the NATO air campaign, will leave the Mediterranean and take up station in the Persian Gulf in July, Navy officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The USS Kitty Hawk and its battle group, currently in the Gulf, will then leave and return to its home station in Yokosuka, Japan in early September - filling a carrier gap in the western Pacific that has existed since early April. In the meantime, the USS Constellation has left the West Coast and will eventually replace the Roosevelt in the Gulf in September. The matter of Russia's role in Kosovo is sensitive. NATO has arranged for 3,600 Russian troops to join KFOR, the Kosovo Force of peacekeepers, including in the southern sector commanded by German forces. Russians have cultural ties to the Serbs, and Moscow strongly opposed NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia. ``When the Russian forces arrive as part of KFOR, we expect them to be totally fair and professional in their dealings with both Serbs and Kosovar Albanians, as they have been in Bosnia and where they have been very stalwart and successful members of the peacekeeping force,'' Bacon said. ``I anticipate that the Russian troops coming to Kosovo will be exactly the same.'' Bacon said the Kosovo Liberation Army, the guerrilla band that fought against the Serb forces in pursuit of independence for the Serb province, had told NATO authorities during the 78-days of NATO bombing that Russians were involved and that a number of Russians had been killed. The Newsday report, citing ethnic Albanian and Serb security sources, cited several example of Russian involvement in atrocities against ethnic Albanians. It said a group of about 60 Russians was ordered out of Kosovo just last week by German soldiers. The Russian volunteers were military men either retired or not in active service, the newspaper reported, and their commander was an army colonel. Newsday reported that the Russians were organized as a single unit and operated under the aegis of the Special Purpose Police of the Federal Ministry of the Interior in Belgrade. Bacon said the Pentagon had no independent confirmation of this or other details of the Russian involvement in Kosovo. ``I don't think we have firm evidence on the numbers of Russian troops or where they operated. These are facts that may come out later, but we didn't have very detailed evidence that there were Russian mercenaries involved,'' Bacon said, adding that the main source of this information was the KLA. ``Our impression is that they were mercenaries, but this is something that I'm sure will be looked into by war crimes investigators, who are now going into Kosovo in considerable numbers to try to figure out what happened and who was responsible for it.''

[CTRL] Feds Propose New "Dept. of Nuclear Weapons"
-Caveat Lector- Richardson Fights Restructuring By H. JOSEF HEBERT .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Energy Secretary Bill Richardson conceded on Tuesday that ``more needs to be done'' to protect U.S. nuclear secrets, and Republican senators pushed anew to overhaul security at the nation's weapons labs. Appearing with Richardson on Capitol Hill, the head of an intelligence advisory group that issued a critical report on nuclear security said that unclassified computer systems at weapons labs continue to be accessible from the outside. Asked whether nuclear secrecy was assured, Warren Rudman, chairman of the president's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, said, ``I don't think it's safe now. I don't think the secretary does.'' Rudman and Richardson spoke at a House Commerce Committee hearing. At a joint hearing of four Senate committees earlier in the day, they sparred over restructuring the Energy Department. Richardson said that a ``firewall'' had been established to prevent people from accessing computer systems at the weapons labs except for the labs' widely accessible web sites. ``I don't take any confidence in that statement,'' said Rudman. ``These firewalls are penetrated all the time.'' Richardson conceded: ``The firewalls have been set up. Are they perfect? No.'' But he emphasized that this applies to unclassified computer systems used by scientists at the labs. A separate classified computer network contains the top-secret weapons data and additional measures have been taken in recent months to safeguard against transfers between the two systems, he said. Last March, investigators at the Los Alamos weapons lab near Santa Fe, N.M. discovered that a scientist, who had been under suspicion of possible espionage, had transfers thousands of files of top-secret material from the classified system to his personal office computer in the mid 1990s. It has never been determined whether any of that information left the lab. Meanwhile, momentum was growing in the Senate for a radical restructuring of the Energy Department that would insulate its nuclear weapons programs under a largely autonomous agency. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said the nuclear weapons program ``needs to be rescued'' from the vast bureaucracy of the Energy Department to ensure nuclear secrets are safe. Richardson disagreed and said it would be a mistake to create ``a bureaucratic Berlin wall'' that would weaken future energy secretaries and - in his view - reduce security instead of strengthening it. Nevertheless, Sen. Frank Murkowski, R-Alaska, said a proposal to create a nuclear security agency within the department likely would be offered on the Senate floor this week. Some Democrats predicted privately that it had a good chance of passing. Prospects in the House are less certain. Rep. Thomas Bliley, R-Va., chairman of the Commerce Committee, and Rep. John Dingell of Michigan, the panel's ranking Democrat, expressed concern that such an agency would weaken attempts to ensure health and safety and other oversight of the weapons labs and the department's other weapons programs. It's a concern Richardson also raised repeatedly in testimony before both the Senate and House panels. ``Fencing off the weapons complex I don't believe is the answer,'' Richardson argued. He said he accepted 90 percent of the Rudman panel's recommendations and would support some reshuffling of nuclear programs under a new undersecretary of energy, giving the program increased importance. ``More needs to be done,'' he said. But Richardson said that creating a new, powerful nuclear agency within the department was abhorrent to him. But supporters of an Energy Department overhaul pointed to the Rudman panel's key recommendation after its 90-day review of nuclear weapons security - a review ordered by President Clinton. It called for creation of a semiautonomous agency to control weapons programs. Rudman said the Energy Department ``is badly broken'' and warned against taking ``half measures'' that the bureaucracy could ignore under a less-aggressive energy secretary. An insulated agency for weapons programs is essential, Rudman insisted. ``We don't think anything else will work,'' he said. Some restructuring appeared to be increasingly inevitable as both Republicans and Democrats in Congress searched for answers to concern about the loss of nuclear secrets because of 20 years of inadequate attention to security and counterespionage at the weapons labs.

[CTRL] Balkan "Economic Reconstruction"
-Caveat Lector- Why Kosovo? Follow the money: ``We believe there is an enormous opportunity now for economic redevelopment in this region, and American companies want to play a strong role,'' said David L. Aaron, US undersecretary of commerce. US To Post Representative in Greece ATHENS, Greece (AP) - The United States will post a special commercial representative in Greece to promote American exports during the reconstruction of the Balkans, a U.S. official said Tuesday. ``We believe there is an enormous opportunity now for reconstruction and economic development in this region, and American companies want to play a strong role,'' said David L. Aaron, undersecretary of commerce for international trade. But an aggressive American effort to cash in on Balkan projects could touch off renewed tension in Greece, where public sentiment was strongly against the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Anti-American protests occurred almost daily during the NATO campaign. Greek firms, including the state telecommunications giant OTE, are hoping for a substantial share of the reconstruction plans and could complain if muscled out by U.S. rivals. Aaron, however, said American companies seek partnerships with firms in Greece, which he called the ``gateway'' to the region. U.S. officials did not give immediate details on the planned role of the commercial envoy in the northern port of Salonica, where the United States has a consulate.

[CTRL] Fwd: RM990622 Irish news - Tuesday 22 June
Sinn Feinpass around...l thank you. Colleen IRISH NEWS ROUND-UP http://irlnet.com/rmlist/ Tuesday, 22 June, 1999 1. POLITICAL GUNS BLAZE AS TIME TICKS DOWN 2. Flanagan embarrassed by new collusion revelations 3. Election of Sinn Fein Deputy Mayor provokes Bruton 4. Author of book on British occupation prosecuted 5. Tory anger at release of Patrick Magee 6. Recruitment attempt in England 7. Dublin government accused of 'criminalising the unemployed' 8. Analysis: Bringing the zealots to book -- >> POLITICAL GUNS BLAZE AS TIME TICKS DOWN Ulster Unionist leader David David Trimble today launched a broadside on the British government by dismissing Tony Blair's deadline for the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and calling for the removal of Britain's governor in Ireland, Mo Mowlam. With just seven days to go to the "absolute" deadline for the transfer of powers to the Belfast Assembly, Mr Trimble insisted that he never regarded the June 30th date as a deadline, only a "target date". The two Prime Ministers are to visit Belfast on Thursday for what is being seen as their final attempt to tackle unionist demands for an IRA weapons handover. The impasse has frustrated efforts to create and devolve power to new institutions, including the key cabinet-like Executive, for over a year. The SDLP Deputy Leader Seamus Mallon tonight suggested a plan which would involve the exclusion of Sinn Fein's two Ministers from the power-sharing Executive if the IRA has not decommissioned its weapons by next May. He said unionists should "put beyond doubt that they are ready to share power with the nationalist and republican community" while Sinn Fein should "put beyond doubt that they believe decommissioning should happen". All participants should accept an obligation to decommission, he added, but with the "collective understanding" that "failure by Sinn Fein to discharge their obligations: would lead to "the loss of their entitlement to participate in the Executive." Mallon's proposal came after the Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern told the Irish parliament that the Northern Executive should be established before decommissioning. Mr Ahern asserted yesterday that it would be possible to persuade paramilitaries to dispose of their weapons only "in the context of a confidence in functioning democratic institutions" which had the full support of unionists. Mr Ahern's speech to the Dail reinforced statements by both Prime Ministers that decommissioning is not a precondition for the formation of the Executive. "If progress is to be made, it is first essential to establish the institutions," Mr Ahern said. "All the indications are that the decommissioning of paramilitary weapons, however desirable as a confidence-building measure on its own merits, will not take place in advance of the establishment of the institutions." The statements by Ahern and Mallon came after another day of extremely hardline and aggressive posturing by the Ulster Unionist leadership. In comments to the media and a London newspaper article, Mr Trimble insisted that the IRA ceasefire had been broken and claimed the IRA had been responsible for an attack in the north of England on former RUC double agent Martin McGartland last week. He demanded that the IRA ceasefire be reviewed, claiming he had "no reason to doubt" that the IRA was responsible for the attack despite contrary indications by English police, who suspect criminal elements. Trimble also directed blame for the ailing peace process towards Northern Secretary Mo Mowlam and accused her of failing to respond to republican violence. Implicitly calling for her dismissal, Mr Trimble said a "widespread lack of confidence" in Dr Mowlam was one of the "great difficulties" in implementing the Good Friday Agreement. Meanwhile, David Trimble's reported invitation to hardline dissident Jeffrey Donaldson to join his party's negotiating team has been described as a worrying development by nationalists. Sinn Fein said the move was "designed to appease the 'No' camp" and called on Trimble to direct his energies towards "positive Unionism". And in another sure sign that the future of the Agreement is in grave doubt, a row has been taking place over the future of the Belfast Assembly in the event that the deadline is not met. Sinn Fein's chief negotiator Martin McGuinness said if unionists' insistence on an IRA weapons handover are not resolved by June 30, the Assembly should be wound up. But he said that other aspects of the Good Friday Agreement, such as the justice, equality and policing reforms, should continue. "While unionists might try to veto the establishment of a power-sharing executive," he said, "the two governments should make it clear they would not be able to veto other aspects of the peace accord."

A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C E http://www.ainfos.ca/ Number 355 21st 27th June, 1999 IN A TIME OF UNIVERSAL DECEIT - TELLING THE TRUTH IS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT - GEORGE ORWELL THIEVES There are your common garden variety thieves and then there are your real thieves governments. Anybody who had any illusions about the nature of government would have had these illusions destroyed by the actions of the Liberal/National Federal Party government and there little mates Senators Colston and Harradine. The further privatisation of another 16% of Telstra drives the final nail in the coffin of the myth that public property belongs to the public. Public property belongs to the government of the day. Governments can dispose of any public assets they wish to who ever they want to. As the jackals, vultures and hyenas line up for their little bit of Telstra, its become blatantly obvious to even the blind that public property does not belong to the people. If it belonged to the people, the government would have had to ask the people through a referendum if they wished to privatise public assets. All the major political parties acknowledge that public assets belong to the government of the day not the people, that¹s why the Commonwealth bank, Qantas and the airports have all been privatised without a referendum. If the Howard regime was so keen to make all Australians shareholders, they wouldn¹t steal public assets from the Australian people and give it to those who have the disposable income to buy shares. They would allocate an equal parcel of Telstra shares to every man, woman and child within the country. If the people own public assets they should be given an equal share of these assets when they¹re privatised. It¹s their property isn¹t it. Well actually it isn¹t if it was they would at least have been forced to ask permission before it was flogged off on their behalf to the lowest (not the highest) bidder. PRIVATE PROPERTY RULES OK In scenes reminiscent of a Keystone cops cartoon, Melbourne¹s long suffering motorists are having their access to the city blocked by roadworks, while a perfectly good road goes begging. You see City Link Melbourne¹s tollway gurus are having a little trouble (bless their little hearts) getting their E-tags to work, so in a penchant move even for private sector standards, City Link¹s (dog in the manger sorts they are) is refusing to open up the Henry Bolte Bridge (wash my mouth out with soap and water, I just used Jeffrey Glib Kennett¹s heroes name) to relive traffic congestion. Let¹s hope these good corporate citizens get what they deserve, let¹s hope Melbourne¹s motorists remove the plastic barriers and reclaim the streets. If Peter Batchelor the A.L.P. hack can do it, I¹m sure many other people can also do it. PLEASE SIR? The Minister for Workplace Warfare has legislation in the wings that will make strikes illegal in this country. The same government that gave Australians the Industrial Relations Act, courtesy of the Cheryl Kernot led Australian Democrats, now wants to outlaw wildcat strikes in this country. Peter M.U.A. Reith has organised a new Industrial Relations Act that will make it illegal for a worker to withdraw their labour. Once again the Australian Democrats, the same political party who are about to give this country the G.S.T. and who gave Australian workers the Industrial Relations Act, will be making the final decision about whether strikes will be outlawed in Australia. While the Australian government talks about the freedom of association, it denies workers the right to withdraw their labour. It¹s been a long time since worker were denied the right to strike in this country. Reith and his intellectually limited cohorts in the Coalition government are attempting to use the legal system to strangle workplace struggles. They think that if they pass legislation to outlaw strikes and workplace resistance, they will be able to break down the collective power of working people in this country. They seem to have forgotten that the more that draconian laws are enacted, the greater the eventual resistance to these laws. The Tolpudle Martyrs, five Dorchester labourers who were transported to Australia for forming an Agricultural Workers Association at the beginning of the 19th Century, eventually brought down the English government. Reith and his merry band will suffer the same fate if they begin to jail workers for withdrawing their labour. It¹s one thing to pass an unpopular law, it¹s another thing to enforce it. Any government that passes legislation to ban strikes digs its own grave. SO WHAT? Just in case you hadn¹t heard, the Australian cricket team won the One Day Cricket World Cup. The country¹s rejoicing, well the media is rejoicing. Everywhere you turn, we¹re being told how wonderful it is, how go

[CTRL] Government
-Caveat Lector- Government By Frederic Bastiat. (1849) I wish some one would offer a prize for a good, simple, and intelligent definition of the word "Government." What an immense service it would confer on society! The Government! what is it? where is it? what does it do? what ought it to do? All we know is, that it is a mysterious personage; and, assuredly, it is the most solicited, the most tormented, the most overwhelmed, the most admired, the most accused, the most invoked, and the most provoked of any personage in the world. I have not the pleasure of knowing my reader but I would stake ten to one that for six months he has been making Utopias, and if so, that he is looking to Government for the realization of them. And should the reader happen to be a lady: I have no doubt that she is sincerely desirous of seeing all the evils of suffering humanity remedied, and that she thinks this might easily be done, if Government would only undertake it. But, alas! that poor unfortunate personage, like Figaro, knows not to whom to listen, nor where to turn. The hundred thousand mouths of the press and of the platform cry out all at once - "Organize labor and workmen." "Repress insolence and the tyranny of capital." "Make experiments upon manure and eggs." "Cover the country with railways." "Irrigate the plains." "Plant the hills." "Make model farms." "Found social workshops." "Nurture children." "Instruct the youth." "Assist the aged." "Send the inhabitants of towns into the country." "Equalize the profits of all trades." "Lend money without interest to all who wish to borrow." "Emmancipate oppressed people everywhere." "Rear and perfect the saddle-horse." "Encourage the arts, and provide us musicians, painters, and architects." "Restrict commerce, and at the same time create a merchant navy." "Discover truth, and put a grain of reason into our heads. The mission of Government is to enlighten, to develop, to extend, to fortify, to spiritualize, and to sanctify the soul of the people." "Do have a little patience, gentlemen" says Government, in a beseeching tone. "I will do what I can to satisfy you, but for this I must have resources. I have been preparing plans for five or six taxes, which are quite new, and not at all oppressive. You will see how willingly people will pay them." Then comes a great exclamation: - "No! indeed! where is the merit of doing a thing with resources? Why, it does not deserve the name of a Government! So far from loading us with fresh taxes, we would have you withdraw the old ones. You ought to suppress "The tobacco tax." "The tax on liquors." "The tax on letters." "Custom-house duties." "Patents." In the midst of this tumult, and now that the country has again and again changed the administration, for not having satisfied all its demands, I wanted to show that they were contradictory. But, what could I have been thinking about? Could I not keep this unfortunate observation to myself! I have lost my character forever! I am looked upon as a man without heart and without feeling - a dry philosopher, an individualist, a plebeian - in a word, an economist of the practical school. But, pardon me, sublime writers, who stop at nothing, not even at contradictions. I am wrong, without a doubt, and I would willingly retract. I should be glad enough, you may be sure, if you had really discovered a beneficent and inexhaustible being, calling itself the Government, which has bread for all mouths, work for all hands, capital for all enterprises, credit for all projects, oil for all wounds, balm for all sufferings, advice for all perplexities, solutions for all doubts, truths for all intellects, diversions for all who want them, milk for infancy, and wine for old age - which can provide for all our wants, satisfy all our curiosity, correct all our errors, repair all our faults, and exempt us henceforth from the necessity for foresight, prudence, judgment, sagacity, experience, order, economy, temperance, and activity. What reason could I have for not desiring to see such a discovery made? Indeed, the more I reflect upon it, the more do I see that nothing could be more convenient than that we should all of us have within our reach an inexhaustible source of wealth and enlightenment - a universal physician, an unlimited treasure, and an infallible counselor, such as you describe Government to be. Therefore it is that I want to have it pointed out and defined, and that a prize should be offered to the first discoverer of the phoenix. For no one would think of asserting that this precious discovery has yet been made, since up to this time everything presenting itself under the name of the Government has at some time been overturned by the people, precisely because it does not fulfill the rather contradictory conditions of the programme. I will venture to say that I fear we are, in this respect, the dupes of one of the strangest illusions which have ever taken posse

[CTRL] Fwd: About Cultural Connections to Mind Control
Listers: I get into moods about cultural connections to mind control programming partly because of my experience with my family. And pardon me if some of you have heard this before -- my mother is a dark-skinned, short, wirey dark-haired woman who grew up mostly in Detroit and later on in Ohio. I look very little like she or my grandmother, except for my body build and height. My mother is very secretive about her heritage, refusing all my life to discuss it much, saying always that it was a mixture of British, French -- German. I deduced, therefore, she was Creole -- her father's name was very French, he was from Detroit. She now admits that she is Creole -- she says just British Creole. I believed through my upbringing that the Creoles had special connections and ties to specialized drugs -- and also participated in some pretty horrific rituals (voudoo - cannibal rituals including). All this is very hushed up in Creole history books (the only things available are vocabulary-language grammars, cookbooks) and now geneaological studies. I am believing and have believed because of what my mother has told me that Creoles were working with U.S. govt after WWII -- with mind control programming. And that they were very involved in possibly the eugenics work -- and genetic work of govt and medical researchers. I have now found a clue linking this up more -- please see these URLs -- on Cajun cultures (I believe these really are the Creole groups) -- in Louisana.They also have extensive geneaological work and work in genetics going on in some of these medical facilities there. My mother says (and many mind control victims come from the Louisana area originally) that I was conceived in Shreveport, as the AF was doing top-top-top secret work in Shreveport in chemical analysis' -- in the 1940s. My father was among the scientists doing this chemical analysis' -- (his MA was in chemistry from Ohio State U, 1950; BA from West Pointe, speciality in chemistry). I have brought up all this stuff again, but look below at the connections to "genetic" research by medical facilities in Louisana -- now going on on the Cajuns -- and some really interesting histories are also apparently being opened up through supposedly "geneaological" research. The ties and connections to U.S.AF mind control work and use of psycho-chemicals on people being used in this research I am certain is real. The Louisana and Detroit connections to these volatile cultural groups, is I believe, is real. Who the Creoles-Cajuns are needs to be much more fully explored, what their ties to unusual elements are needs to be much more explored, how they get their specialized "drugs" needs to be better known. And how they are contributing to or involved in specialized eugenics rings, which I believe is true, needs to be better known. See the following URLs if this sort of research interests you or if anything I have said fits into your personal situation. And in this URL is also a description I couldn't copy about a conference going on the beginning of August about special-genetic problems amongst Cajuns -- AND esp., mental problems of Cajuns. Sponored, if you can believe it, by the Louisana Research/Medical Association. How there needs to be much further exploration into the special needs of Cajuns (who are European-Indios-African heritages). Why How Who are they??? And theories go -- are most/many mind control victims really Cajun-genetically? Or is a Cajun in their families? These sorts of theoretical possibilies interest me. Consider tooValerie Wolf's work in New Orleans with mind control victims and the CIA's early work with Lousiana medical research facilities. Something was going on there. Another possibility -- consider that nearly all medical research facilities that I know of are located in indigent black neighborhoods -- WHY? What is the connection to black cultures? And to the Creoles (part Black). Judith _ http://www.acadian-cajun.com/genetics.htm http://www.acadian-cajun.com/ Louisiana's Cajuns were exiled from an area of Canada that included Nova Scotia and parts of New Brunswick. During the great exile, families and hearts were broken. Perhaps for this reason, family is the most important feature of Cajun culture. They love to get together for food, music and fun. From July 31 to August 15, 1999, Louisiana's Acadiana region will host the second world gathering of Acadians. Acadians from France and Canada will celebrate family reunions with their Louisiana kin. Concerts, cooking demonstrations and other special activities will be

[CTRL] Senators Discuss Action On Nuclear Labs
-Caveat Lector- Tuesday June 22 3:53 PM ET Senators Discuss Action On Nuclear Labs By Tabassum Zakaria WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican senators and the energy secretary Tuesday agreed the structure of the Energy Department must change to better guard secrets at U.S. nuclear weapons labs but there was no consensus on what should be done. In an unusual meeting of four senate committees, there was general agreement that a quick legislative solution would be best, to strike while public furor was hot over allegations that China's spies got some top U.S. nuclear weapons secrets in the past 20 years. China has denied it stole U.S. nuclear secrets. But disagreements quickly emerged over how best to improve security. While key Republican senators seemed ready to agree on a plan, to become law both the Senate and House must approve the same bill and the president must sign it. Three key Republican senators said they were drafting a plan that would consolidate the nuclear weapons programs in one area of the Energy Department's bureaucracy. The plan was based on recommendations by a presidential advisory board that suggested creating a semi-autonomous agency within the Energy Department to oversee nuclear weapons programs. It would be headed by an under-secretary. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said he agreed with most of the report from the board chaired by former Sen. Warren Rudman, but disliked the notion of a ``semi-autonomous agency'' within the Energy Department because it would undermine his authority. The comments came at a joint hearing by an unprecedented four committees whose membership comprised more than half the 100-member Senate. About 30 senators actually showed up. Republican Sens. Frank Murkowski of Alaska, Pete Domenici of New Mexico and Jon Kyl of Arizona planned to offer jointly an amendment to restructure the nuclear weapons programs. It would be attached to a funding bill for U.S. intelligence programs that may be considered by the Senate this week. ``What has happened is a disaster of major proportion for the national security of our nation,'' said Murkowski, who chaired the hearing. The full ``geopolitical'' impact of the security lapses would probably not be known for another decade or two, he added. Over the past 20 years more than 100 reports by various government entities have been issued criticizing security at the labs and recommending changes, Rudman said. Among the people interviewed by the advisory board, ``one employee said the (Energy Department) was about as organized as the Titanic in the 11th hour,'' Rudman said. Every time a president or energy secretary has tried to institute changes, ``the bureaucrats have won,'' he said. Richardson said he was prepared to accept the creation of an under-secretary post to head the nuclear weapons programs but opposed establishing a separate agency within the department. He warned against creating an ``empire'' through a separate structure that a future energy secretary would not be able to control. Richardson agreed on the need for oversight and said he would like to have ``junkyard dog types'' who would point out failings in the way the labs were managing security. A culture of ``arrogance'' at the labs was also cited as an impediment to security because of scientists' disdain for edicts from bureaucrats whom they consider less intelligent than they are. But some senators said that that scientific culture would be difficult to change and the answer was a structural change in the bureaucracy that would ensure security lapses were caught. When one Republican senator tried to place the blame for lab security lapses on the Democratic Clinton administration, Rudman, a Republican, responded: ``I think you all deserve some blame,'' noting that Congress had taken no action despite the many reports issued over the years. -- The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. - Henry David Thoreau DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Om K --[4]-- A Litany of Tactics Without further ado, here is the promised (nonetheless incomplete) litany of tactics pursued by the oligarchy of power brokers: Systematic subversion of the property rights of the populace through market and currency manipulation, through casual government property seizure, through regulation transferring control from the nominal owner to the government, and through property taxes Accumulation of a staggering, numbingly vast national debt, the mere servicing of which is a substantial proportion of the federal budget (and these interest payments are transferred almost entirely to banking titans) Onerous income taxation paralyzing the populace but leaving unscathed the strategic investment foundations controlled by the dominant elite, donations to which are also tax-deductible. The tax system allows big capital to be translated into social control with no encumbrance, but the translation of small capital into subsistence assets and commodities (housing, transportation, food, water, etc.) is encumbered with income taxation, and often sales, excise, and property taxes. The Canadian government, in a drive to convince its wealthy residents to stay in Canada, reported that the average Californian loses 48% of his income to taxes, compared to slightly over 50% for a sample Canadian locale. Laws which provide rewards for delegating control over one's money, particularly, tax-deferred mutual funds Public stock markets that allow people who add near zero (or negative) worth to the economy, to increase their wealth with near zero effort. A galaxy of investment firms that create no wealth, but siphon off many of society's best and brightest to work in fund management and market model design and maintenance. The compensation packages (and here, compensation is a particularly apt term) offered by investment firms are so liberal that firms outside the investment business can seldom compete on that basis. Society is thus largely robbed of the wealth these recruits might otherwise create. An extensive infrastructure of excise taxes, levied variously as sales taxes, income taxes, property taxes, duties, and miscellaneous taxes, by which the government directly molds the economic patterns of the public Extensive disclosure requirements for tax-exempt (``501(c)(3)'') organizations, in which the IRS acts as an intelligence-gathering organization. Those privy to its secrets can monitor the activities of foundations, and those foundations that attempt to conceal completely legal activities in order to forestall confrontation with political adversaries are exposed to prosecution. Use of zoning law as a weapon of economic and political control, as by Rudy Giuliani in Manhattan and Jan Jones in Las Vegas A lumbering, partly for-profit prison system, holding a greater proportion of the nation's total population than does the prison system of any other nation on earth. More than half of this nation's prison population is serving time only for petty drug offenses. The huge prison infrastructure can be recruited instantaneously to incarcerate several million political prisoners (though of course most of those imprisoned for petty drug offenses are, in fact, political prisoners). A labyrinthine system of weapons laws which vary by city, county, and state, from effectively total bans on private carrying of firearms, to no-permit concealed carry, and everything in-between. The construction of these laws makes it impossible for anyone whose work involves travel over state lines, and for most whose work involves travel over town lines, to carry a firearm for self-protection. In short, the second amendment of the US Constitution has been grossly, flagrantly, and routinely violated. Government and corporate policies and practices that profoundly erode individual privacy A property tax assessment procedure in which the government insists on a thorough walk-through of one's residence and business, in order that it can decide how much to steal from the owner Building permit requirements in which even simple refurbishing or finishing of basements and attics by owners, visible only to residents, is held hostage to government approval and hence to political interests Allocation of vast sums of tax money for IMF-coordinated ``bailouts'' of distant nations often ruled by profoundly abusive and dictatorial governments. These ``bailouts'' are in practice bribery by which the recipient nation is made to abdicate its sovereignty, and in many cases they are little more than massive transfers of wealth from taxpayers to elites. Direct taxpayer-funded bailouts of ailing corporations. This is simply a transfer of wealth from the taxpayers to the elite, as directed by the elite, so that

Om K --[5]-- The Conspiracy Revisited Obviously, I do not propose that a monolithic, unerring conspiracy is at work, nor do I propose that all of the events which favor the conspirators were instigated by the conspirators. Instead, what this document reveals is a network of affiliations and alliances, some strong and some weak, some advertised and some secret, that is working toward a common goal of world rule by oligarchy, with varying degrees of coordination, coherency, and internal contention. It is a conspiracy, but one of humans, hence neither monolithic nor unerring. Moreover, the core of the conspirators has nothing approaching absolute authority. Even the most powerful among them - the first-tier international bankers and the intelligence apparatus they control - must often ``sugar-coat'' their directives, and must always choose them carefully. The myriad interlocking subconspiracies one encounters while exploring this compilation are arranged in interlocking hierarchies. There is no clean command hierarchy in general; in fact there is a degree of incoherency and fluctuation in the command topology. Subconspiracies are linked by conspirators who are members of multiple subconspiracies, and these crucial links between pairs of subconspiracies have explicit knowledge of the existence and role of each of those subconspiracies. Though it is obviously not monolithic, omnipotent, omniscient, or unerring, it is nonetheless obligatory to consider the collection of subconspiracies as one single, huge conspiracy, protected from itself by compartmentation. It is a huge, global network of secretive manipulation, and it lurks behind most decisions of political, social, or economic consequence. At the top of the most important of these constituent hierarchies is the House of Rothschild and their instruments of control, preeminent among which is Bilderberg. Why do people listen to the Rothschilds? Because they are very, very rich. The Rothschilds have turned much of the world into a game of scuffling - and sometimes stampeding - around them frantically. The Rothschild apparatus is also very effective in co-opting key personnel and placing manipulable individuals in key positions, and has a vast repertoire of highly refined blackmail and bribery techniques. Among the conspirators - and indeed, among the population at large - only a tiny handful of brilliant intellectuals are able to divorce themselves, with anything approaching thoroughness, from the shackles of contemporary culture. The rest are not substantially more capable of objective thought than are those they rule, or those who rule them. In short, the bulk of the elite - including most of those typically viewed as the most powerful - live and think within the bounds of the culture that came to be by the accumulation of accidents, the machinations of earlier generations of power brokers, and most importantly, by the contributions of great innovators. J. Orlin Grabbe's chaos essay cautions us not to reflexively conclude that ``what appears as chaos is a hidden agenda of historical or prophetic forces that lie behind the apparent disorder.'' By the same token, sometimes what appears as chaos is a manifestation of a hidden agenda. Moreover, Grabbe's caveat does not detract one iota from the logical inevitability of the conclusion that ``a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematical plan of reducing us to slavery'' (quoting Thomas Jefferson). This series of oppressions is not chaos at all, but intrinsically quite orderly. A common thread of state socialism runs through every grand conspirator plan in recent memory. This is easily explained. State socialism is a system in which a large population becomes dependent on the state for its biological survival. The conspirators expect that such a population will eagerly perpetuate the existing power structure (euphemistically known as the status quo). State socialism also sees to it that those who are indigent and unable to earn a wage - by reason of physical or mental infirmity, personality, or subjection to discrimination - are nonetheless fed, clothed, housed, and to a degree, entertained. Thus, pe ople who would otherwise be expected to threaten community order, or even launch revolutionary movements, are tethered to the state and pacified. The state and the elite thus have a vested interest in perpetuating a sizeable population of effective invalids, a goal which they achieve through social engineering targeting selected populations (e.g. black inner city residents), through manufacturing of illnesses (e.g. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and through strategically contoured
[CTRL] ÊTEXAS BEST SEMINARS - SECRET SOCIETIES
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.texasbestseminars.org/Secret.htm http://www.texasbestseminars.org/Secret.htm">SECRET SOCIETY - TEXAS BEST SEMINARS SECRET SOCIETIES Globalization the new buzz word for World Government Conspiracy Newslette GOVERNOR BUSH WAS A MEMBER OF THE "SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY" AT YALE UNIVERSITY. THIS IS A BREEDING GROUND FOR THE "ILLUMINATI." Skull & Bones Society "America's Secret Establishment", by Antony C. Sutton, 1986, page 5-6, states: "Those on the inside know it as The Order. Others have known it for more than 150 years as Chapter 322 of a German secret society. More formally, for legal purposes, The Order was incorporated as The Russell Trust in 1856. It was also once known as the "Brotherhood of Death". Those who make light of it, or want to make fun of it, call it 'Skull & Bones', or just plain 'Bones'. The American chapter of this German order was founded in 1833 at Yale University by General William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft who, in 1876, became Secretary of War in the Grant Administration. Alphonso Taft was the father of William Howard Taft, the only man to be both President and Chief Justice of the United States. The order is not just another Greek letter fraternal society with passwords and handgrips common to most campuses. Chapter 322 is a secret society whose members are sworn to silence. It only exists on the Yale campus (that we know about). It has rules. It has ceremonial rites. It is not at all happy with prying, probing citizens - known among initiates as 'outsiders' or 'vandals'. Its members always deny membership (or are supposed to deny membership) and in checking hundreds of autobiographical listings for members we found only half a dozen who cited an affiliation with Skull & Bones. The rest were silent. An interesting point is whether the many members in various Administrations or who hold government positions have declared their members in the biographical data supplied for FBI 'background checks'. Above all, The Order is powerful, unbelievably powerful. If the reader will persist and examine the evidence to be presented - which is overwhelming - there is no doubt his view of the world will suddenly come sharply into focus, with almost frightening clarity. It is a Senior year society which exists only at Yale. Members are chosen in their Junior year and spend only one year on campus, the Senior year, with Skull & Bones. In other words, the organization is oriented to the graduate outside world. The Order meets annually - patriarchies only - on Deer Island in the St. Lawrence River. Senior societies are unique to Yale. There are two other senior societies at Yale, but none elsewhere. Scroll & Key and Wolf's Head are supposedly competitive societies founded in the mid-19 th century. We believe these to be part of the same network. Rosenbaum commented in his "Esquire" article, very accurately, that anyone in the Eastern Liberal Establishment who is not a member of Skull & Bones is almost certainly a member of either Scroll & Key or Wolf's Head. .. The selection procedure for new members of The Order has not changed since 1832. Each year 15, and only 15, never fewer, are selected. In the past 150 years about 2500 Yale graduates have been initiated into The Order. At any time about 500-600 are alive and active. Roughly about one- quarter of these take an active role in furthering the objectives of The Order. The others either lose interest or change their minds. They are silent drop-outs. .. The most likely potential member is from a Bones family, who is energetic, resourceful, political and probably an amoral team player. ... Honors and financial rewards are guaranteed by the power of The Order. But the price of these honors and rewards is sacrifice to the common goal, the goal of The Order. Some, perhaps many, have not been willing to pay this price. The Old Line American families and their descendants involved in the Skull & Bones are names such as: Whitney, Perkins, Stimson, Taft, Wadsworth, Gilman, Payne, Davidson, Pillsbury, Sloane, Weyerhaeuser, Harriman, Rockefeller, Lord, Brown, Bundy, Bush and Phelps. For a complete and accurate discussion of the Skull & Bones Society and the secret shadow government in control of this nation, you should purchase a copy of American Secret Establishment, by Antony C. Sutton, available from RIE. Home Last modified: January 01, 1999 - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations. Adieu, Adios, Aloha. Amen.

[CTRL] Fwd: Stratfor Announcement
The war in Serbia is over! Stratfor has just begun! Stratfor's unique, off the beaten track view of the world will continue to be available in an expanded form. We're broadening our focus, covering intelligence from around the world. The new anchor to our web site will be the Global Intelligence Center, where you'll find continual updates on breaking major stories globally at www.stratfor.com. The GIC also provides links to continually updated commentaries and special reports on a range of global issues, from war to economics. You'll also find links there to our two regional Intelligence Centers: the Asian Intelligence Center and the CIS/Eastern European Intelligence Center. (Yes, we know it's a terrible name, but we defy any of you to come up with a better one). There, you'll find in-depth, continually updated intelligence from all of the countries of those regions as well as background material and links. Those of you who are still following Kosovo carefully will find constant updates on events in Yugoslavia at the CIS/Eastern European Intelligence Center (as well as important developments on the Home Page at the Global Intelligence Center.) These two regional Intelligence Centers will be joined in a few weeks by our Middle East/African Intelligence Center. Other Centers will follow. In a few months, we'll be covering the world in depth. If you found our Kosovo site to be useful, you'll find the same sort of coverage and commentary in our Global and regional Centers, but with a broader focus. They also contain archives of past events, news links and all the rest you've come to expect from Stratfor. Our goal is to deliver intelligence with the speed of television and the comprehensiveness of print. We also intend to provide our own, unbiased view of the world. So now, instead of being accused of being on the payroll of only NATO or Yugoslavia, we will be accused of being paid by everyone from Manila to Prague and soon, dupes of both Arabs and Israelis. So long as the accusations come from all sides equally, we'll be content. So please stop by soon, often, and click on an ad while you're there. You'll be getting the Stratfor view of things and we'll make money and keep the lights turned on while not having to charge subscription fees to our readers.

Re: [CTRL] [[CTRL] The Threat: The Secret Alien Agenda]
-Caveat Lector- Well, Bob, a space alien threat somehow seems more interesting (entertaining) than the threat posed by the usual cast of suspects. Somehow, it's kind of a romantic idea that space aliens are infiltrating terra firma, passing on their technology to us (back engineering),etc. And the assertion that they're interested in our women... well! Earth girls are cute, aren't they? Yes, Dr. Jacobs probably does put too much credence in the stories of the abductees. Then again, people are having strange experiences. The "sightings" continue, and not all of the stories of UFOs can be completely dismissed. Personally, I would like to see a UFO...but everytime I look up at the sky, all I see is the same dull blue emptiness. I'm afraid that we are residing on a lonely blue marble, spinning endlessly in space, with no other critters living in our neighborhood. And if all we have is each other ( as human beings), we're probably in trouble.

Re: [CTRL] [5] The Ohio Gang
-Caveat Lector- This true story of President Harding is reminiscent of Theodore Drieser's novel, Sister Carrie. (Caroline Meeber, a small-town girl from Wisconsin goes off to the big city where she meets Hurstwood, a plump, amiable middle-aged man with a penchant for pretty young girls. Love blooms and Hurstwood deserts his wife for Carrie. Carrie eventually abandons her older lover and finds success as an actress; while her former paramour, Hurstwood, is ruined.)

Re: [CTRL] Fw: [smashthestate] [cp] 50 cal legislation
-Caveat Lector- I agree. During my senior year in college, I wrote a paper on the creation of the Federal Reserve. I accessed over eighty books on the Fed and, of course, got into the Congressional Record...examining the creation of the Aldrich Committee and the Pujo Committee--two critical committees dealing with the Rockefeller-Morgan interests. Also, I read the published correspondence between Col. House (Wilson's advisor) and J.P. Morgan. There's no question that the Federal Reserve was the product of a banking conspiracy--that's been well-documented many times (Jekyll Island meeting in Georgia). But I believe the most damning bit of evidence that suggests a Morgan/ Rockefeller conspiracy was the William Barker testimony dealing with the Panic of 1907. Barker, a Philadelphia banker, was told my a member of the Harriman family that the Panic of 07 was deliberately arranged by Morgan in order to convince the American people that a central bank was needed. If you research the Panic (and you must dig for the information), you will discover that it was a Morgan-owned bank in New York that refused payment, claiming an insufficiency in cash. Once word got out that the banks were short of hard currency, a panic ensued. Morgan was called into stabilize the situation... The history books portray Morgan as the saviour of Wall Streetwhose physical presence on "the Street" was enough to save the day. Barker testified that the Panic was engineered by Morgan...according to his Harriman confidant...in order to force the government into seeking the creation of a central bank. Then President Teddy Roosevelt, when asked to comment on Barker's testimony, called him a liar. But a little research will reveal that the Morgan-backed central bank idea had already been worked out a year before the Panic. Once the need had been demonstrated, the Morgan-Rockefeller interests were ready to implement their plan. Senator Aldrich, a Rockefeller flunky, was assigned by Congress the task of researching which central bank idea would work for the United States. Not surprisingly, after an expensive European jaunt paid for by the American people, Aldrich "discovered" the ideal plan--the Morgan-Rockefeller plan... The next step was selling it to a gullible public. For those of you who are historically minded, you might want to read Senator Lindbergh's (father of the aviator) prediction of what would come to pass if the American people were saddled with a central bank. The "Aldrich central bank plan" was one of the most blatant frauds in American history and the long-term effects of the Federal Reserve swindle are still with us today. But if you look at that particular era, you will discover that the American people were extremely angry about the excesses of unregulated capitalism. The trusts/combines/monopolies--whatever you want to call them--were strangling the economic vitality of the system. In retaliation, many were calling for the seizure of corporate assets... The Morgan-Rockefeller interests were very concerned about the possibility of losing control over the American economy. A way out of the mess was devised. In essence, the richest financial interests in the land became the guardians of the American treasury. The money-making power (relegated to Congress via the Treasury) was handed over to private interests. A new status quo was created. In effect, the citizens of the United States, would forever be in debt to the New York banks; but what is much worse: by relinquishing their control over public finances, they would become slaves to private financial interests that would set the agenda for public expenditures for years to come. Wilson was assured by the drafters of the Fed that the new system would not threaten the well-being and autonomy of the American people. He was deceived by his controllers/advisors. Did the US need a central bank? Well, banking authorities are quick to point out the efficiency of a central bank operation... and the arguments get quite complex.. Certainly, the older system was irregular and inefficient in many respects.. and good arguments can be made to support the creation of a central bank. But the truth is, the money of the American people is now controlled by banks owned by private individuals. That's why what is good for the Rockefeller family is "good" for America.

[CTRL] Doctored Photos in the Media
-Caveat Lector- Royal photo doctored to ensure smiles all round LONDON, June 22 (Reuters) - Britain's Prince William looked so glum in a royal wedding picture that the photographer was told to use today's digital technology to give him a beaming smile. Bridegroom Prince Edward decided his teenage nephew did not seem happy enough in one of the official photos from his wedding to Sophie Rhys-Jones at the weekend, newspapers reported on Tuesday. ``Prince Edward said he didn't think Prince William looked absolutely his best, so digitally we were able to put in another picture of Prince William from one of the other shots,'' royal photographer Sir Geoffrey Shakerley was quoted as saying. The top-selling Sun tabloid quoted a spokesman for William as insisting the son of heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles was not miserable on the big wedding day. ``It was just unfortunate,'' the spokesman said.

[CTRL] Emperor Willie -- Tyrant and Media Darling
-Caveat Lector- Mayor Popular Outside San Francisco By DAVID KLIGMAN .c The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - To outsiders, the charismatic and impeccably dressed Mayor Willie Brown exudes as much panache as San Francisco itself. ``As the mayor, I can proclaim anything I want,'' he announced in a recent appearance with a flip of a flowing red robe, a gleaming crown on his head. The performance, in a skit to celebrate the city's longest-running musical, worked as real-life political theater: There's little doubt who rules San Francisco. But locals may have had enough of the polished politician whose re-election campaign slogan touts, ``He's One of a Kind.'' With less than five months before the election, there's lots of talk of ousting one of California's most powerful Democrats from City Hall. Twenty challengers have filed declarations of intent with the Department of Elections, which allows them to campaign and raise money for the race. The deadline to get on the ballot is Aug. 6. So far, the only serious contenders who have announced their candidacy are millionaire political consultant Clint Reilly and former Republican Mayor Frank Jordan, whom Brown unseated in 1995. Other possible candidates include Board of Supervisors President Tom Ammiano; Adam Werbach, the 26-year-old former president of the Sierra Club; and activist Jim Reid, who spent nine days living on the streets and in shelters to highlight the plight of the homeless. Brown's struggle to hold on to his job was graphically shown in a mid-May San Francisco Examiner-KTVU poll. It found that 71 percent of respondents were unhappy with his job performance, compared with 59 percent in September. The poll, which had a margin of error of 4 percentage points, found that if the mayoral election were held immediately, 34 percent would vote for Brown, 19 percent for Ammiano, 18 percent for Jordan and 9 percent for Reilly. Twenty percent were undecided. Brown has never lost a campaign since he first sought elected office in 1964. Since his inauguration as mayor, the former California Assembly speaker has gotten high marks for helping create jobs and improve the economy. But voters are highly critical of the local transportation system, Municipal Railway, which Brown vowed to fix within 100 days of taking office. He admits he hasn't. He has also been criticized for crackdowns on the homeless and the perennial parking crunch in the city. Still, campaigns don't usually gain momentum until Labor Day, and an unexpected event could have a telling effect. In the last mayoral race, Brown got a boost when Jordan jumped in a shower with two male disc jockeys in a campaign stunt that backfired. Brown kicked off his re-election campaign last weekend with support from Gov. Gray Davis and President Clinton. His lively speech touted lower crime rates, and he promised again to improve the railway and make housing more affordable. ``This is a delicate city - it's actually a museum,'' Brown said. ``And those of us who are elected officials are curators of that museum. And each of you are one of the choice art pieces in that museum. I want to continue to be your curator.'' Some feel they've heard it before. ``I think the city has pretty much stagnated,'' Anne Rosinski said. ``My impression of Mayor Brown is sort of like Eva Peron. He's very good about announcing his programs, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of follow through.'' Backers say Brown has more than earned the right to a second term. ``There is no matching Willie Brown and his ability to take care of San Francisco,'' said Betty Brooks, who works for the city's housing authority. ``If there's anybody with a magic wand who can step forward, I challenge them.''

[CTRL] Rothschild's Prayer Book up for Sale
-Caveat Lector- Liquidating assets === CHRISTIE'S TO SELL MOST IMPORTANT SINGLE-OWNER COLLECTION TO COME TO THE LONDON MARKET THE COLLECTION OF THE BARONS NATHANIEL AND ALBERT VON ROTHSCHILD Sale 6179 8 July, 2:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. London, King Street http://www.christies.com/events/jun99/rothschild/index.html Rothschild's Prayer Book up for Sale. The history of the Rothschild family is surpassed only by such dynasties as the Habsburgs and the Bourbons for their pan-European natureand in what may be understood as the family's heyday, the mid-nineteenth century, they were perhaps unrivalled. CHRISTIE'S TO SELL MOST IMPORTANT SINGLE-OWNER COLLECTION TO COME TO THE LONDON MARKET THE COLLECTION OF THE BARONS NATHANIEL AND ALBERT VON ROTHSCHILD 8 JULY 1999 CHRISTIE'S KING STREET Christie's is to offer paintings and works of art valued in excess of £20 million from the collection formed in the 19th century by Baron Albert and Baron Nathaniel von Rothschild at Christie's Great Rooms in London on Thursday 8 July. Christie's is honoured to have been instructed by the heirs of the Barons Alphonse and Louis, sons of Albert von Rothschild, to sell these works of art that have been recently returned to the family by the Austrian government. That this historic collection has been restored to the family and permission granted for it to leave Austria is a tribute to the enlightened attitude of that country's present government. The works of art to be included in the sale represent the highest tradition of Rothschild collecting. They comprise exceptional furniture, sculpture, paintings, works of art, scientific instruments, arms and armour, silver, porcelain, glass, musical instruments and rare Persian carpets. Amongst the paintings are three portraits by the Dutch Old Master, Frans Hals. One of the most striking portraits by Rembrandt's great rival is that of the Amsterdam merchant, Tieleman Roosterman. It is estimated at £2,500,000 - £3,500,000, and is the most important work by Hals to come onto the market for many years. Also included is one of David Teniers II's famous paintings of the Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Picture Gallery. A masterpiece by the Dutch genre painter, Isaac van Ostade, is also to be sold. The furniture includes a magnificent royal commode by Jean-Henri Riesener. This commode (Royal Inventory no. 2958) was supplied on 12 October 1778 to King Louis XVI for the 'cabinet intérieur' at Fontainebleau. It is described by Pierre Verlet in 'Le Mobilier Royal Francais' (vol. IV, pps.85-87, illus) as 'Cette magnifique commode est encore aujourd'hui dans son éôtat d'origine'. Verlet goes on to say that it was removed from Fontainebleau by 1787. Christie's research proves for the first time that it was moved by the King to his library at Versailles and appears in an inventory in August 1779, no. 2958. Other rare pieces of furniture from this Rothschild collection include a black lacquer commode by Bernard II van Risemburgh and a bureau by Leleu. The furniture is complemented by two highly important French long-case clocks, of which the regulator by Berthoud, l'horlogier du roi, was originally made for the Duc de Choiseul-Praslin at Vaux-le-Vicomte. Interestingly, the related example, now in the Palacio Real in Madrid, was thought to be the clock from Vaux-le Vicomte, but this version does not have the barometer noted as being part of the Vaux le Vicomte design, and the example in the Rothschild collection does. This extraordinary clock is expected to make a record price for any clock at auction. A great armillary sphere made in Lyons around 1550 is the centrepiece of a remarkable cache of scientific and horological instruments collected by Nathanial von Rothschild. As might be expected in any Rothschild collection the sale will also feature objets de vertu in the form of silver, gold boxes, maiollica and Limoges enamels. Unique to this particular collection is the silver-gilt mounted Medici 'protoporzellan' oil and vinegar bottle; an un-mounted version of this design exists at Chatsworth in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire. There is also a very rare and fine tortoishell Pique epergne. The collection includes two 16th century manuscripts. Of these, and recognised as one of the greatest achievements of Renaissance manuscript illumination, the Rothschild Prayerbook contains 67 full-page miniatures including work by Gerard Horenbout, Simon Bening, and the Master of the Older Prayerbook of Maximilian. Completing the 250 lot sale to be sold at King Street on Thursday 8 July is a large and important group of musical instruments, some of which date from the Renaissance, and important works of arms and armour of incomparable quality and historical interest. Of particular interest is the 38-bore French wheel-lock holster pistol, signed 'Agrisole' and circa 1620. This is one of a celebrated pair which were stolen in 1984; the present pistol was the only
[CTRL] Kosovo School Bomb Was NATO's
-Caveat Lector- Kosovo Blast Caused by NATO Bomb By DONNA BRYSON .c The Associated Press PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) - A NATO cluster bomb that exploded as troops cleared munitions from a school killed two peacekeeping soldiers and two villagers - not a Serb booby-trap, the British military said today. The deaths Monday of Lt. Gareth Evans and Sgt. Balaram Rai were the first allied fatalities since NATO entered Kosovo. Dozens of civilians, however, have died in explosions of land mines and booby-traps since peacekeeping troops moved into the southern Serb province on June 12. The explosion occurred at a schoolhouse in Negrovce, a village 20 miles west of Pristina, Kosovo's capital. The soldiers, from the British army's 69th Gurkha Field Squadron that is mostly made up of Nepalese troops, had been called in by villagers who found unexploded cluster bombs at the school, said Lt. Col. Nick Clissitt, a spokesman for the British military in Pristina. ``These were munitions used in order to destroy Serb forces in the field in what was a Serb army and paramilitary police stronghold,'' he explained. Clissitt said the villagers had piled the munitions up next to the schoolhouse before calling peacekeepers to remove it. When the troops showed up, they suggested exploding the pile. But he said the villagers worried the blast would damage their school, and agreed to help the peacekeepers move the bombs into three smaller piles a short distance away, to create smaller explosions. ``It was during the wiring of the charges that two piles detonated prematurely with tragic results,'' Clissitt said. In a related development, British peacekeepers today defused a bomb only 100 feet from the Grand Hotel, the Kosovo capital's biggest hotel and a major gathering place for foreign visitors, the state-run Tanjug news agency said. It was unclear who placed the bomb. Although unexploded bombs, uncleared minefields and booby-traps pose substantial hazards in Kosovo, tens of thousands of refugees are disregarding calls for them to stay put in the Albanian and Macedonian tent camps until the danger can be reduced. The peacekeepers' spokesman, Lt. Col. Robin Clifford, said land mines killed one civilian Monday and a child on Sunday. ``I would repeat the call to refugees ... to exercise caution and restraint when moving around Kosovo, because it is not yet safe,'' he said. U.N. spokesman Kevin Kennedy said mine clearers still don't even know how many mines are scattered around the province. President Clinton arrived in Macedonia today and told a cheering crowd at the Stenkovec refugee camp to seek reconciliation in Kosovo - not revenge. The United States remains committed to keeping an autonomous Kosovo within Yugoslavia instead of promoting independence for the largely Albanian province, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said today. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said more than 170,000 of the 860,000 or so refugees expelled from Kosovo have returned in little more than a week. Another 600,000 are in camps or with host families in neighboring countries and 88,000 more have been evacuated to other countries, including 7,500 to the United States. Peace in Kosovo appeared increasingly strong in the wake of Albanian rebels pledging in a pact with NATO to lay down their arms. The deal came Monday, just hours after the last of the 40,000 Serb troops left Kosovo. The 20,000 or so NATO-led KFOR troops now in Kosovo said they were moving beyond initial attempts to quell the violence and were beginning to look ahead by establishing security and laying the groundwork for democratic elections. With the Serb forces' retreat confirmed late Sunday, NATO officially ended its 78-day air campaign. Today, the Belgrade government asked parliament to meet Thursday to end the state of war declared the day NATO launched its airstrikes. Since March 24, the state of war has banned men of military age from leaving the country, let the army take over key institutions and subjected the news media to censorship. Still, reports of a media crackdown persisted. An umbrella group for Yugoslavia's fledging independent radio and television broadcasters said the government was forcing stations to replace their newscasts with those of the state-controlled networks. For its part, the KLA agreed to a broad demilitarization that will require them to leave their checkpoints and halt any military activity unless the peacekeepers approve it first. Although they can keep their handguns, they agreed not to use explosives, to put remaining weapons in storage sites verified by NATO and to clear minefields and booby-traps within seven days. A hard-line Kosovo Albanian rebel, however, said today that the demilitarization agreement with NATO does not require the guerrillas to surrender their weapons and those who expect the KLA to disappear have ``miscalculated.'' ``The agreement does not demand that we give up our arms,'' Rrustem Mustafa told the
