Human: Or Just Another Animal?

“Be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth,
and subdue it, and have dominion over all creation.”
 Genesis 1:28
Dominion does not mean to hurt, or to destroy.
Consider; we are created in the image of the Creator,
This quote came from the book of Genesis;
Which is the book of Creation.
This would imply that Dominion would involve creation.

2)
“But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil;
thou shall not eat of it; for in that
day that thou eatest thereof, thou shall surely die.” Genesis 2:17
Even if you do not want the apple of knowledge
you will be provided for from the land.

[CTRL] Have We Been Sold Down The River?

Title: Have We Been Sold Down The River?

Have We Been Sold Down The River?

- - UPDATE - -

Resident
Clinton has agreed to "postpone" the execution of E.O. 13083 for 90 days.
  This is not a complete victory yet!  It can still be enacted unless he
issues another executive order nullnifying it.  Keep the heat up!

 

There is a problem in our government.  This
problem transcends our normal political parties.  We have representatives in our
government that are allowing the Executive Branch to usurp the Constitution.  Since
1933 our representatives have allowed the President of the United States to enact laws
without Legislative control.  Are we being sold down the river?

In 1996 our representatives passed a law that puts
into place the National ID card.  We are slowly, but surely, mirroring laws in place
in Russia and other countries that suppress individual liberties.

Recently Resident Clinton signed
Executive Order 13083 that all but removes the 10th Amendment from the Constitution.

Citizens of North Carolina, I urge you to
immediately contact our representatives
in Congress and the governor and demand
that they protest and bring this insanity to an immediate halt.  

At the end of your message state "if
you can't respond by e-mail, don't bother.  Quit wasting my tax dollars on
postage."  If they come back with "the Congressman will only reply to
constituents by regular mail" then cross them off  your list of people to vote
for.

Title:  'We think your son has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome'- a case study of
monosodium glutamate's effect on a child.
Author:  Anne Shovic, Robert D. Bart and Apryll M. Stalcup

   Abstract:  A two-year-old boy presented with signs and symptoms of
  uncontrollable seizures of multiple types mimicking that of   Lennox-Gestaut
  syndrome. It was later diagnosed as monosodium glutamate (MSG) related
  seizures following a comparison with a similarly related case wherein
  withdrawal from monosodium glutamate intake resulted to resumption of
  normal  functions. A component of MSG known as aspartame acting as
  proconvulsant was   believed to be the etiologic factor. Control of dietary
MSG is the
  effective prevention of a more drastic intervention.


   Subjects:  Glutamates - Health aspects

  Glutamate is a naturally occurring nonessential amino acid that serves as one
  of the body's excitatory neurotransmitters (1). It occurs in food as
  either a free amino acid or bound as a constituent in proteins. Although foods

  high in protein (eg, meat and dairy products) may have fairly high levels of
  bound glutamate, free glutamate in foods is thought to be more closely
  associated with adverse effects (1). Monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is used

  extensively as a flavor enhancer, can be a major source of free glutamate (2).

  A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel has declared MSG safe,
  Stating that MSG poses little health risk (3). However, Daniel Raitin, PhD,
who
  prepared the MSG report for the FDA stated, "Individual sensitivity to
  food is just beginning to be explored and there is no reason to believe people

  exquisitely sensitive to MSG are not out there" (4). In a report
  prepared by the Life Sciences Research Office, Federation of American
Societies for
  Experimental Biology (1), the ad hoc expert panel acknowledged that
  preexisting conditions (eg, genetic predisposition, endogenous
  anomalies in glutamate metabolism, impaired vitamin B-6 metabolism or
deficiency)
  might predispose persons to reactions from MSG. They concluded that it
  appeared that oral ingestion of MSG had the potential to provoke a response in
some
  persons with severe unstable asthma. In addition, the panel validated some of
  the work by Olney (5) that implicates MSG in the formation of lesions in
certain
  regions of the brain that are not protected by the blood-brain barrier.
  The Institute of Food Technologists has also declared MSG to be safe for
  human consumption (6). Any concern that is mentioned appears to apply only to
  a small number of adult subjects who consumed large amounts of MSG. Very
  little information is available on the effects of MSG in
sensitivity-heightened
children. The following case study illustrates these effects and the unique
process that was taken by a mother and health professionals to deal
with the situation.

CASE STUDY

In the fall of 1991, the mother of D.S., a 2.5-year-old boy, noticed
that her normally healthy son was experiencing "head dropping" incidents. She
later recalled that D.S.'s head would drop suddenly, as if he had sneezed but
without the exhalation of air. Although D.S. did not seem to be affected by
the episodes, his mother noted that he began stuttering and having unexplained
tantrums. By the end of February 1992, the head-dropping episodes were
occurring almost every night and with greater intensity. D.S. was brought
to a pediatrician after head-dropping episodes two

These are from a data base that I am doing for my web site.
I have seen this post shot down as a hoax, so I offer this
links in rebuttal of some that would say Aspartame is not
hazardous and support of this post. Nancy Markel was
NOT the original author, but overall the post is on track.
Another point is that Aspartame is suppose to Mimic MS
ect., I personally am not interested in something that even
   Mimics diseases such as this post describes! Please
remember that much of the research that is out there
(and that some sites cite - FDA included) saying that
 Aspartame is NOT hazardous comes from the very
company that makes Aspartame.  From these links
you wonder how anyone is capable of having nutritious
food, and think of the developing bodies and brains of
children. These will allow you to
research on your own.

Title: Canola Oil, not the healthy oil we thought  it to be, canola is a penetrating oil, not healthy as a cooking oil or salad oil.


Canola Oil

This article is made public here on the net as a public service announcement  and does not necessarily reflect the views of  this website owner. We encourage you to do further research and determine the validity of the following for yourself.
 Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because Canada is mainly responsible for it
 being marketed in the USA The Canadian government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug
 Administration (FDA). $50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on the (GRAS) List "Generally Recognized
 As Safe" . Thus a new industry was created. Laws were enacted affecting international trade, commerce, and
 traditional diets. Studies with lab. animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney,
 adrenals, and thyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar
 tissue remained on all vital organs. No studies on humans were made before money was spent to promote
 Canola oil in the USA.
 Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused by in a build up long-chain fatty acids
 (c22 to c28) which destroys the myelin (protective sheath )of the nerves. Canola oil is a very long chain fatty
 acid oil (c22). Those who will defend canola oil say that the Chinese and Indians have used it for centuries with
 no effect, however it was in an unrefined form.*
 My cholesterol level was 150. After a year using Canola oil I tested 260. I switched back to pure olive oil and it
 has taken 5 years to get it down to 160. Thus began this project to find answers since most Doctors will say that
 Canola oil is O.K.
 My sister spilled Canola oil on a piece of fabric, after 5 pre-treatings and harsh washings, the oil spot still
 showed. She stopped using Canola oil ,wondering what it did to our insides if it could not be removed from cloth
 easily.
 Our Father bred birds, always checking labels to insure there was no rape seed in their food. He said, "The
 birds will eat it, but they do not live very long."
 A friend who worked for only 9 mo. as a quality control taster, at an apple-chip factory where Canola oil was
 used exclusively for frying, developed numerous health problems including loose teeth; gum disease, gum and nail
 beds turned gray; numb hands and feet with cramps, swollen arms and legs upon rising in the morning; extreme
 joint pain especially in hands; cloudy vision; constipation with stools like black marbles; hearing loss; skin tears
 from being bumped; lack of energy; hair loss; and heart pains. It has been five years since she has worked there
 and still has some joint pain, gum disease, and numbness. A fellow worker, about 30 yrs. old who ate very little
 product, had a routine check up and found that his blood vessels were like those of an 80 year old man. Two
 employees fed the waste product to baby calves and their hair fell out. After removing the fried apple chips from
 the diet their hair grew back in.
 
 Be sure to check products for ingredients. If it says, "This product may contain one or more of the
 following" and lists Canola oiL you can expect it to contain canola oil because it is the cheapest oil and the
 government subsidizes Canola oil to some industries involved in food processing, bakeries and schools.
 
 My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. Stephany hit her mom's arm with the back of a butter knife in a
 gesture, "Oh mom" not hard enough to hurt. My daughters arm split open like it was rotten. She called me to
 ask what could have caused it. I said, "I'll bet anything that you are using Canola oil". Sure enough, there was a
 big gallon jug in the pantry.
 
 Rape seed oil is a penetrating oil, to be used in light industry, not for human consumption. It contains a toxic
 substance. (from encyclopedia ) Even after the processing to reduce the erucic acid content, it is still a
 penetrating oil. We have found that it turns rancid very fast. Also it leaves a residual rancid odor on clothing.
 
 Rape seed oil used for stir-frying in China found to emit cancer causing chemicals. (Rapeseed oil smoke causes
 lung cancer) Amal Kumar Maj. The Wall Street JournaL June 7, 1995 pB6(W) pB6 (E) col 1(11 col in).

VOGUE MAGAZINE ARTICLE
NoMSG President, Kathleen Schwartz, is encouraging interested individuals to write letters to the editor of Vogue Magazine regarding the March 99 article written by a food editor.  He made attempts at sounding witty and entertaining as he bashed people who claim sensitivity to MSG, as being psychologically troubled.  Letters should be intelligently written, showing sound facts or convincing anecdotal evidence.  Anger has its place, but give good information, also.  This might include A.D.D. medical test results, personal before-and-after MSG stories, medical professional's experiences, etc.

MSG is a Drug and Neurotransmitter
The ever expanding use of MSG causes great concern in the medical
profession because it stimulates brain cell activity.  MSG "tricks"
your brain into thinking the food you are eating tastes good.  Manufacturers can
use inferior ingredients and thus make the product seem tastier.  Inferior
products and higher profits prevail at the expense of consumer health.  MSG
intolerance is not an allergic reaction, but a powerful drug reaction.



Common Reactions
Headaches, migraines, stomach upset, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea,
irritable bowel syndrome, asthma attacks, shortness of breath, anxiety or panic
attacks, heart palpitations, partial paralysis, "heart attack-like
symptoms," balance difficulties, mental confusion, mood swings, behavioral
disorders (especially in children and teens), allergy-type symptoms, skin
rashes, runny nose, bags under the eyes, flushing, mouth lesions, depression,
and more.



Hidden Sources of MSG
MSG in its pure form must be labeled.  Food manufacturers, aware that
consumers are wise to "monosodium glutamate," are now adding enormous
amounts to our foods under devious and difficult names. When it is added as an
ingredient of another substance it need not be listed on the label.  The earlier
these substances appear on a list of ingredients, the more likely they are to
contain MSG.

[CTRL] Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills - MSG

1999-05-09 Thread 1lls0081

Title: Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills





 


Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills
 By Russell Blaylock, MD

 
Nutrasweet (Aspartame) has been scientifically linked to brain tumors, brain cell
damage and neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.  According to
author Russell Blaylock, MD, a practicing, board-certified neurosurgeon, we are witnessing
enormous damage to the brain and nervous system due to the ever-increasing amount of
Nutrasweet and other excitotoxic subtances added to our foods.
  With detailed accuracy citing well over five hundred scientific studies, Neurosurgeon
Blaylock explores the "must-know" dangers of these substances being added indiscriminately to
our food supply.
  Mike Wallace of "60 Minutes" and his research team used the book  Excitotoxins:
The Taste That Kills, as one of their sources to report on the increasing evidence of a brain
tumor connection.  Their December 29, 1996, program didn't, however, delve into the enormous
epidemic of illness caused by the increasing use of these substances.  Dr. Blaylock's book
exposes it all in detail--from the questionable history of  "approvals" in the 1970s and the 1980s
to the increasing body of evidence showing serious brain effects, government inaction, and
industry propaganda and cover-up.
The use of aspartame, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and monosodium glutamate in prepared
foods and beverages continues to increase on a yearly basis. Dr. Blaylock clearly demonstrates
that the neurotoxic potential of excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame (NUTRASWEET ) is
so overwhelming that it can no longer be ignored.

Reviews and Commentary for Excitotoxins: The Taste That
Kills.
Have you read this book? Write a review and let others know what you thought of it!

This is an electrifying and important book that should be available to every American
consumer.
          --Wilson Library Bulletin

  This text will be of most interest to those serious about protecting their health, as well
 as to medical professionals.
          --Biosis


For people who are MSG sensitive and who suffer with migraines and other
symptoms of MSG-toxicity, this book provides insight that is
understandable to the layperson as well as the medical professional.
For parents of hyperactive children, children diagnosed with Attention
Deficit Disorder, or children currently taking Ritalin, this is
absolutely "required reading".

When one comprehends the reaction of the growing human brain to the
influences of MSG as an excitotoxin, it is not difficult to recognize
how our children got to this point and why they are suffering (right
along with parents).  Gerber Graduates baby food contains Hydrolyzed
Protein (a "hidden name of MSG"), and most processed and convenience
foods also contain MSG in one form or another.  We are poisoning our
children while we are poisoning ourselves.

By FDA definition, all MSG is "naturally occurring".  "Natural" doesn't mean safe!   Personally, I find that my "tolerance" for MSG is minimal, and I must avoid almost anything containing the above names, except for the last 3 items in the "OFTEN contain MSG" list.  You may get by with just avoiding everything on the first "ALWAYS contains MSG" list.  However, the "natural flavors" heading can be very misleading and the source of much pain, because it can contain anywhere from 12% to 33% MSG -- or no MSG at all.  The only way to truly know whether MSG is present, and in what amounts, is to write the manufacturer.  And, since manufacturers change ingredients frequently, you'd have to check with them every few months to make sure it was still OK.  It's often easier just to avoid food with "natural flavors" .
     Soft drinks, so-called Sports Drinks, candy, chewing gum are potential sources of hidden MSG.  (My daughter landed in the Emergency Room with a migraine as a result of one piece of bubble gum known as "Gator Gum".  Ever try to read the Ingredient Label on a piece of gum?)  One-half can of Coca-Cola is enough to give some migraine sufferers a full day of misery.  Most iced tea mixes and concentrates contain MSGmake sure your iced tea is brewed when dining out.  
     Reactions to MSG are dose-related, and some people react to even very small amounts.  MSG-induced reactions may occur immediately after ingestion, or as much as 48 hours later.  The reactions can last from hours to days, depending on the individual.  However, your individual reaction will always be the same.  Only the severity of the attack will increase or decrease, depending on the quantity of MSG consumed.

National Science Foundation is 
Taking Small Business Into a 
New Phase of Innovation

The National Science Foundation (NSF) will award four
grants in a new pilot
program intended to bridge the gap between technology
research and
commercialization by providing incentives for Small
Business Innovation
Research (SBIR) grantees to seek partnerships with
investors. The new SBIR
Phase IIB Pilot Program supplements the already
successful SBIR effort at NSF.

"SBIR has always been a catalyst for the
growth of small high-tech
businesses," said Kesh Narayanan, NSF director of
industrial innovation. We
found that the top 50 successful small business grantees
(representing about
10 percent of all Phase II grantees) have accounted for
$2.2 billion in direct
sales and created 10,000 jobs. The pilot program
will help give other small
high-tech companies the opportunity to make this sort of
impact." [and
give at least one of these "pilot programs" the
"right" to poison our food supply and, though,
creating jobs and "abundance", cause a huge
increase in disease and the occurance of chronic illness;
putting millions of American AT RISK!]

NSF selected four small businesses to participate in the
pilot program based
on the intellectual merit and potential impact of their
research: Polatomic
Corporation, for a miniaturized device to measure the
properties of planetary
magnetic fields; Pericle Communications Company, for
their work to develop a
method to double the signal capacity of cellular radio
networks; New Light
Industries, for the design and application of a
holographic printer; and
Auxein Corporation, for the development of a
metabolic primer to enhance plant
growth. 

SBIR is a congressionally mandated program initiated at
the NSF in 1977 to
promote the development of innovative technologies by
small science and
technology-based businesses. SBIR grants are awarded in
two phases. Projects
under Phase I are funded for a six-month feasibility
study. If the projects
are determined eligible, they may receive funding for the
principal research
effort under Phase II. After Phase II, grant recipients
are expected to pursue
commercial applications of their research without the
support of government
funding. 

The Phase IIB Pilot Program allows small
businesses to continue their research
while securing the support of third-party

Title:  'We think your son has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome'- a case study of
monosodium glutamate's effect on a child.
Author:  Anne Shovic, Robert D. Bart and Apryll M. Stalcup

   Abstract:  A two-year-old boy presented with signs and symptoms of
  uncontrollable seizures of multiple types mimicking that of   Lennox-Gestaut
  syndrome. It was later diagnosed as monosodium glutamate (MSG) related
  seizures following a comparison with a similarly related case wherein
  withdrawal from monosodium glutamate intake resulted to resumption of
  normal  functions. A component of MSG known as aspartame acting as
  proconvulsant was   believed to be the etiologic factor. Control of dietary
MSG is the
  effective prevention of a more drastic intervention.

  Glutamate is a naturally occurring nonessential amino acid that serves as one
  of the body's excitatory neurotransmitters (1). It occurs in food as
  either a free amino acid or bound as a constituent in proteins. Although foods

  high in protein (eg, meat and dairy products) may have fairly high levels of
  bound glutamate, free glutamate in foods is thought to be more closely
  associated with adverse effects (1). Monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is used

  extensively as a flavor enhancer, can be a major source of free glutamate (2).

  A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel has declared MSG safe,
  Stating that MSG poses little health risk (3). However, Daniel Raitin, PhD,
who
  prepared the MSG report for the FDA stated, "Individual sensitivity to
  food is just beginning to be explored and there is no reason to believe people

  exquisitely sensitive to MSG are not out there" (4). In a report
  prepared by the Life Sciences Research Office, Federation of American
Societies for
  Experimental Biology (1), the ad hoc expert panel acknowledged that
  preexisting conditions (eg, genetic predisposition, endogenous
  anomalies in glutamate metabolism, impaired vitamin B-6 metabolism or
deficiency)
  might predispose persons to reactions from MSG. They concluded that it
  appeared that oral ingestion of MSG had the potential to provoke a response in
some
  persons with severe unstable asthma. In addition, the panel validated some of
  the work by Olney (5) that implicates MSG in the formation of lesions in
certain
  regions of the brain that are not protected by the blood-brain barrier.
  The Institute of Food Technologists has also declared MSG to be safe for
  human consumption (6). Any concern that is mentioned appears to apply only to
  a small number of adult subjects who consumed large amounts of MSG. Very
  little information is available on the effects of MSG in
sensitivity-heightened
children. The following case study illustrates these effects and the unique
process that was taken by a mother and health professionals to deal
with the situation.

CASE STUDY

In the fall of 1991, the mother of D.S., a 2.5-year-old boy, noticed
that her normally healthy son was experiencing "head dropping" incidents. She
later recalled that D.S.'s head would drop suddenly, as if he had sneezed but
without the exhalation of air. Although D.S. did not seem to be affected by
the episodes, his mother noted that he began stuttering and having unexplained
tantrums. By the end of February 1992, the head-dropping episodes were
occurring almost every night and with greater intensity. D.S. was brought
to a pediatrician after head-dropping episodes two nights in a row in which
he hit his head on a cup hard enough to leave a mark on his forehead. He was
examined on March 3, 1992, but because he seemed so healthy, the pediatrician
delayed obtaining an electro-encephalogram (EEG) or blood samples.

On the evening of March 5, 1992, D.S. experienced 10 to 12 seizures
that appeared to come in waves. His mother reported that D.S. had an initial
seizure that seemed to involve more than just his head and seemed to be
triggered by eating. That seizure was followed by 2 or 3 more seizures
within 5 minutes. An emergency EEG was performed the next day and shortly
after, a computerized axial tomography scan and spinal tap were done.

According to the neurologist, D.S.'s EEG had the generalized spike and
slow wave pattern that is characteristic of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Lennox-
Gastaut syndrome is a rare form of epilepsy (about 1% of childhood epilepsies)
characterized by multiple seizure types that cannot be controlled with
currently available antiseizure medications (7,8). Most children with
this form of epilepsy develop progressive mental retardation and very

EPA, Industry Looks Back At Achievements Made Since '89


  ___A decade after EPA made it's important three-volume Report to Congress
on the indoor air quality problems facing the nation, agency officials and
industry professionals will analyze where these issues stand today at the
seventh annual Indoor Environment '99 Conference & Exhibition- Solutions,
Strategies, Management.

  ___The event, which will be held April 19-21 at the Renaissance Austin
Hotel in Austin, Texas, marks the first time this year that EPA's Mary
Smith, current director of the Indoor Environments Division, will assess
the impact the 1989 report had on the nation and also what indoor air
quality programs and plans have had the biggest impact on public awareness.
Joining Smith will be Mary Ellen Fise of the Consumer Federation of
America, who has had her pulse on what consumers understand about indoor
air quality, and also Aaron Trippler, who is one of the industry's foremost
experts in federal and state legislation concerning indoor environmental
issues.

  ___The conference will also feature the general session, IAQ Training and
Certification: What You Need To Get Ahead. The session will focus on the
flood of new programs and courses being developed by industry organizations
to improve evaluation and remediation of indoor air quality problems in the
field. Panelists include Susan Smith of MidAtlantic Environmental Hygiene
Resources Center, Steve Hays of Gobbell Hays Partners, George Benda of The
Chelsea Group, and Robert Juliano of the American Association of Radon
Scientists and Technologists.

  ___Other conference highlights will include what you need to know about
black soot and candle controversy; new trends in microbial remediation; an
update of safety and containment; new research on asthma and allergies in
schools; and the 1999 Indoor Environment National Award Ceremony. There's
still time to register for the event! For information on attending the
conference, call the Indoor Environment '99 Conference Hotline at
800/394-0115.

AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY ON THE CAUSE OF B.S.E.

April 1998

To:
Lord Justice Phillips
PO Box 163
LONDON
SE99 2UZ


Submission to B.S.E. Inquiry

In 1992 myself and my family were diagnosed as suffering from Organophosphate sheep dip poisoning by blood tests carried out at Guys Hospital, London.

The fact that we all nearly died was seen as an irrelevance by Government departments.  There was no treatment offered, or indeed any acknowledgement of our predicament.  In simple terms, we were to be ignored to enable Government to cover its tracks - after all, they were responsible for licensing all veterinary products.  In the face of such stonewalling, I decided to make my own enquiries, and contacted the following establishments for information - I am extremely grateful for their help:

The World Health Organisation
The Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, USA
The University of New Jersey, USA
The Pesticide Trust
The Royal Society of Chemistry, London
The Hazards Society, London

plus many private individuals.   I am also extremely grateful to my lawyer for his support and advice.  He has copies of all the papers in my possession.

With the help of the Royal Society of Chemistry, I obtained scientific information on all the OP compounds used as sheep dips, ie Diazinon, Propetamphos, Chlorfenvinphos, Carbophenothion; and via a third party, went on to Crufomate, which he had used as a warble fly dressing.  I later explored all the OPs which had been used in the Gulf War.

What I began to find extremely worrying from this collection of information was that all OPs were cholinesterase inhibitors - the damage caused was cumulative, and research using laboratory animals showed that most were carcinogenic and also responsible for malformations in up to and including the third generation of offspring.

The destruction of the central nervous system, immune system and peripheral nervous system was also apparent with most OP compounds.

My next move was to collect as many published scientific papers as I thought were relevant.  Copies of the following are enclosed:

1.  Poisoning on the Farm by Dr Redhead, published in the Lancet in 1968.  This paper  explains the importance of the cholinesterase levels in man.  It should be borne in mind that OPs   were designed to attack the cholinesterase in insects, and will of course have the same effect on cattle.

2.  Effects of Chronic Organophosphate Pesticide Exposure on the Central NervousSystem by Richard J Korsak and Miles M Sato, published in 1977.  This paper is important   because it exposes the frontal lobe brain damage suffered by exposed victims.

3.  Environmental Trichlorfon and Cluster of Congenital Abnormalities by Andrew E  Czeizel et al, published in the Lancet in 1993.  This paper is devastating in  its content, and the fact that it has   been ignored in the UK is unbelievable.  The effect on the  foetus is beyond words.

There are many other papers in my possession, which are of course available to the Inquiry, but I hope to have painted an adequate picture of the effects of OP poisoning on the insect, human and animal species for the present.  I move on ...

As mentioned above, I received an enquiry about Crufomate.  The information on this compound, plus the sight of BSE-afflicted cattle on television, made me aware of the alarming similarities in both our situation and that of the cattle.  To put it bluntly, the human OP victims were going off their heads and off their legs!  The cattle were becoming more obvious than the shepherds (more than 900 shepherds have committed suicide since 1984).

Black's Veterinary Dictionary, 10th Edition (1973) provided quite a lot of answers where it describes the effect on cattle treated with Crufomate for warble fly.  The VMD deny knowledge of Crufomate (see letter attached) but the British Veterinary Association should still have the results of all the testing done on cattle before they gave their blessing to its usage.  I have persistently called for the testing of cholinesterase levels in cattle before and after treatment for warble fly.  This is unnecessary - it has been done, and the results should be made available to the Inquiry by the BVA as a matter of urgency.  The maternal transmission is explained in the following paper:

Reproduction and Growth of Progeny of Female Mice mated after treatment with Crufomate - author M A Khan - Research Station Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada; published in the Journal of Scientific Health in 1981.  It is interesting to observe that when the first damning scientific papers on a product are published, the chemical companies reac

  Brought to you by the OPPTS Chemical Library
http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/oppt_nb.txt

"Frogs in the Balance [Editorials]."  Washington Times, 4 May 99,
A18.
  The WT comments on the recent Science Magazine studies
 attributing deformed frogs to parasitic infections, rather
 than "the usual suspects in cases like this: global warming,
 pesticides, ozone depletion, the Reagan tax cuts."  The
 Times describes the process of how the trematode parasites
 cause limb deformities in frogs, and concludes with comments
 on how the alarm over the deformed frogs probably
 unecessarily "diverted scarce tax dollars from more pressing
 problems to handling out bottled water and aggravated an
 anti-technology bias in some quarters of this country that
 ignores its past benefits as well as those yet to come."

==After reading what I have sent today about Dioxins
This seems to be a bit hard to believe.==


BIOTECHNOLOGY

"Experimental Vaccine Cuts Ear Infections In Young Children."
Wall Street Journal, 4 May 99, A4.
  Researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center
 will present findings from their three-year study of a
 vaccine that attacks the bacteria active in childhood ear
 infections, streptococcus pneumoniae, at the Pediatric
 Academic Societies meeting in San Francisco today.  The
 '"breakthrough"', controlled study of more than 38,000
 children showed that the vaccine is not only significant in
 reducing bouts of ear infections in children but also helps
 battle antibiotic resistance, a problem often encountered
 with this particular bacterium.  The vaccine, which is being
 developed by the Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories unit of American
 Home Products Corp., will be submitted for FDA approval.

== Do we mention the fact that
Monsanto tried to buy American Home Products
and IF American Home Products realize the
possibility that Monsanto's bovine growth
hormone in milk (which requires the escalated
use of antibiotics) could be helping ear
infections to happen?==


"Arthritis-Drug Ads Won't Name Product." Wall Street Journal, 4
May 99, B13.
  Without mentioning the drug's name, a television ad campaign
 will begin tomorrow on CBS for the new arthritis drug
 Celebrex, marketed by Monsanto's G.D. Searle pharmaceuticals
 unit.  By not mentioning the products' specific name, as is
 becoming the trend in new drug advertisements, advertisers
 avoid having to mention the drug's side effects, which, in
 the case of Celebrex, include "potentially fatal bleeding
 ulcers".  Until a Celebrex-specific advertisement is
 released later this year, viewers will be be given an 800
 number to call for information.

== does anyone want to think about the fact that
one of the symptoms of aspartame poisoning is
arthritis? and that Monsanto makes a significant
amount of aspartame, held the patent till the time

MISSING BOYS



As we reported late in 1997 (REHW #576), the male proportion of

live births has been declining in the U.S. and Canada for at

least 20 years. Normally there are 106 males born for every 100

females, for a male proportion of 106/206 = 0.5145.  This

proportion is often called the "live birth sex ratio" or simply

the "sex ratio." Several studies --some very recent[1,2] and

others dating back to the late 1980s and early 1990s --reveal

similar 20-year declines in the male proportion of live births in

England and Wales,[3] Denmark, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands,

Germany, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay,

Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, and Costa Rica.[4]



The declines in the male proportion of births are not large, and

by themselves they have no practical importance.  Often the shift

has been from 0.515 to 0.513 or 0.512.  Nevertheless, even small

shifts in the sex ratio can add up.  In Canada during the last 20

years, approximately 8600 males have not been born and in their

place we have females; in the U.S. during the same period, 38,000

baby boys were replaced by baby girls.  (From an environmental

perspective this is arguably beneficial because environmentally

destructive organizations tend to be dominated by men, while the

effective wing of the environmental movement is largely led by

women.)



Nevertheless, there is a very serious side to these small shifts

in sex ratio.  It is extremely unlikely that similar trends in so

many different countries are due to chance.  Therefore, the

altered sex ratio raises a grave public health question: what is

causing consistent biological changes in the human populations of

so many industrialized and industrializing countries?  Does this

pattern signal some general change in exposures to environmental

toxicants? Now two teams of researchers --in the U.S.[1] and in

Denmark[2] --are asking whether the pattern of declining male

proportion of births is linked to a similar pattern of increasing

birth defects of the penis and testicles, increasing testicular

cancer, and declining quality and quantity of sperm.



Both groups of scientists are hypothesizing that all of these

patterns are linked to exposures to hormone-disrupting chemicals

including dioxin, pesticides, lead, solvents and smoke stack

emissions from smelters, steel foundries and incinerators.[5]

And both groups are hypothesizing that the relevant exposures are

most likely taking place before birth, in the mother's womb.



Devra Lee Davis of the World Resources Institute (Washington,

D.C), writing in the JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL

ASSOCIATION,[1] acknowledges that any change in a complex

biological process, such as sex determination, probably has

several causes.  She then goes on to argue, offering evidence

from many different areas of research, that the male proportion

of live births can be affected by environmental exposures:



** At the moment of conception, all embryos are destined to be

female unless something changes them into males.  We all start

out female by default.  For the first six to 9 weeks of life, we

all have unisex gonads.  Between the 6th and 9th week, the gonads

of those with a Y chromosome specialize into testicles and begin

producing hormones that continue the process of creating a male.

If anything interferes at this stage, a female may result.  Thus

sex is determined by tiny amounts of hormones circulating in the

blood of the embryo.  This situation provides opportunities for

chemicals entering the mother's body ("xenobiotics") to disrupt

normal processes.

Dioxin Exposure Linked to Cancer

 Dioxin Exposure Linked to Cancer
 By PAUL RECER=
 AP Science Writer=
   WASHINGTON (AP) _ Chemical workers exposed to high levels of
 dioxin have a 60 percent increased chance of dying of cancer, but
 the chemical poses no added cancer risk to the general population,
 a study says.
   Kyle Steenland, co-author of the study appearing Wednesday in
 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, said the research
 suggests most people typically are not currently exposed to
 dangerous levels of dioxin and that cancer appears to result only
 among those who had extremely high and long-term exposures to the
 chemical 15 to 20 years ago.
   ``There is not a significant increase in cancers until you get
 to the upper'' exposure levels, Steenland said Tuesday in a
 telephone interview. ``This is not raising a red flag by saying
 that low level exposure is causing a lot of cancer.''
   He called the finding ``reassuring'' from a public health stand
 point.
   Steenland, a researcher with the National Institute for
 Occupational Safety and Health, said that the amount of dioxin in
 the environment is steadily declining because the products most
 commonly linked to the chemical are no longer being made.
   Dioxin was a byproduct in the manufacture of herbicides and
 pesticides that were in common use decades ago. Production of the
 chemicals halted in the mid 1980s, and the environmental
 contamination has dropped steadily since.
   However, for those who experienced high exposures, the chemical
 can persist in the body for decades.
   Dioxin is one of the chemicals in Agent Orange, the herbicide
 used by the United States to kill jungle vegetation during the
 Vietnam War. Hundreds of American troops were exposed to the
 chemical, but not at the high levels experienced by many chemical
 plant workers, said Steenland.
   Dr. Robert N. Hoover, of the National Cancer Institute, said
 that the study by Steenland and his colleagues is ``a critical
 piece of evidence'' that shows dioxin, at its present levels in the
 environment, appears to present no significant threat to general
 public health.
   ``The bad news from this study is the evidence that dioxin at
 high exposures is a'' cancer-causing chemical, said Hoover. ``The
 good news is that the low levels of exposure (now in the
 environment) are not likely to contribute much disease.''
   In the study, Steenland examined the health record of some 3,500
 chemical workers who were exposed to dioxin on the job during the
 1960s, '70s and '80s for periods of six months to 20 years.
   Among workers with the highest exposure rate there was a 60
 percent increase in cancer deaths when compared to the rate of
 cancer deaths among the general public. This increase, said
 Steenland, was seen only in those workers whose dioxin exposure was
 100 to 1,000 times higher than the background exposure of the
 general public.
   Steenland said that dioxin seemed to cause all types of cancer.
   ``The cancer elevation is not in some specific organ,'' he said.
 ``We saw it in respiratory tract cancers and in digestive tract
 cancer. It was across the board.''
   Steenland said the public health threat of dioxin is declining
 because nobody is regularly exposed to the high levels that once
 were common among chemical plant workers.
   ``Dioxin is not being added to the environment at anywhere near
 the rate it once was,'' he said. ``It is still produced by
 incinerators when they burn plastics, but it is becoming less and
 less.''

 Second Session to be held in Eau
Claire December 3rd.  Read Details



  The U.S. Department Of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service
and the U.S.
  Environmental Protection Agency are seeking public comment on their
recently released
  draft Unified National Strategy for Animal Feeding Operations. The two
agencies will hold a
  joint "listening session" on Monday, November 30, at the Sheraton Madison
Hotel, 706 John
  Nolen Drive, Madison, Wisconsin. Registration for anyone wishing to speak
begins at 12
  noon. The session starts at 12:30 and ends at 4 pm. The session is being
held to provide basic
  information about the draft strategy, to answer specific questions, to
give interested
  individuals a chance to provide feedback, and to help facilitate the
submission of written
  comments about the draft strategy.

  The goal of the Unified National Strategy is to take actions to minimize
threats to water
  quality and public health caused by animal feeding operations, while
ensuring the long-term
  sustainability of livestock production in the United States. The strategy
is part of the Clinton
  Administration's Clean Water Action Plan. "There are no two issues more
critical to
  Wisconsin than agriculture and water quality," said Pat Leavenworth, State
Conservationist
  for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Wisconsin.
"With this
  Strategy, we are looking for the best way to protect and improve both.We
need and want to
  hear from all sides of the issue to make this a workable, successful
effort.""Rural and urban
  runoff account for more than half of all water pollution, and runoff from
animal feeding
  operations in particular has been associated with threats to human health
and the
  environment," said David A. Ullrich, Acting EPA Regional Administrator.
"The draft
  strategy proposes steps to protect our rivers and streams from that runoff
but we want to hear
  the views of the affected public before we make a final decision."

  The session will include an overview of the draft strategy and two and a
half hours for
  comments. A sign language interpreter will be available. Copies of the
draft strategy can be
  obtained from the Internet at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov   or

Title: Corporate Farm Subsidy






Corporate Farms causing Problems





  
Thanks in part to government-provided subsidies to
overproduce, hog prices are near an all-time low. The federal government's solution?
Another subsidy, with factory farms likely to be the principal beneficiaries. Vice
President Al Gore recently announced that the USDA would buy $15 million in pork in an
effort to bolster prices. And on the Hill, there's even been discussion of exporting the
pigs themselves, as breeding stock for Third World nations!This
band-aid comes too late to give much solace to the thousands of family farmers that the
factory farmers have pushed off the land. The multi-national farms, more interested in
short-term profits than long-term sustainability, produce a glut, wipe out the
competition, and then reap the benefits of a belated government subsidy to relieve the
glut. Rather than addressing the out-of-control environmental and economic problems of
industrial agriculture, the Administration offers another trip to the public trough.
Send a message to USDA Secretary Dan Glickman: Issue a MORATORIUM
on any new hog and chicken factories, start regulating the ones we've got, and support
family farms rather than factory farms.

   Lean Times on the Farm

   If hog prices are so low, why isn't pork cheaper? Struggling farmers want help--and some answers
  
  BY DANIEL EISENBERG



   It's an irony that makes Gary Muller's financial troubles that much harder to bear. If the Iowa hog farmer were to hang out at a local supermarket, he might suspect that his business was thriving as never before. After all, there's no lack of customers buying pork chops or roasts for dinner; and in spite of the Asian economic woes that devastated most American farmers in 1998, pork exports keep on growing. But while Americans pay top dollar for their hams or BLTs, Muller and the rest of America's 115,000 hog farmers may as well give their animals away (some are doing that). His 220-lb. pigs, which a little over a year ago fetched 60[cents] per lb., now command around 15[cents] per lb. When he's not selling his livestock at a loss, he's trying to rearrange his bank payments and save his century-old family farm from going under. "We're getting killed out here," he says.

The pigs, on the other hand, can't be killed fast enough--though 2 million a week are being butchered. And therein lies the problem. Hog farming, until recently the most profitable sector in agriculture, is stuck in the mud. A glut of live pigs on the market, exacerbated by a sudden drop in slaughterhouse capacity, has pushed the price of pigs down to levels not seen since the Depression. "It's a lethal mixture," says Al Tank, CEO of the National Pork Producers Council. Across the South and Midwest, farmers are losing thousands of dollars a day, drifting deeper into debt and near bankruptcy; fully 20% could be belly-up by spring. A government forecast on the hog supply last week promised little relief. "It's the most serious agricultural crisis in this century for an individual commodity," says Gilbert Hollis,

HOGGING THE TABLE

Corporate pig factories are supplanting traditional farms--and critics are
raising a stink about it

JOHN GREENWALD

Colorado farmers Galen Travis and Jim Dobler have seen the future, and it
stinks. Just upwind of
their grain fields, a company called Midwest Farms, owned by hog entrepreneur
Ronald Houser,
plans to build an $80 million facility that will raise 450,000 hogs a year. From
Colorado to the
Carolinas, enterprising growers like Houser and agribusiness giants such as
Cargill and Continental
Grain are building such livestock factories to mass-produce hogs for packers
like Hormel Foods
and John Morrell.

But even job-short rural communities are squealing, fearful of environmental
problems and resentful
of yet another mechanized assault on their way of life. In Colorado, Travis and
Dobler are leading a
fight to keep Midwest out. It's not just the olfactory affront posed by tons of
reeking hog manure
that worries them. The megafarm will lap up millions of gallons of water,
threatening part of the
Oglalla Aquifer, the underground lake that provides drinking and irrigation
water to much of the
western Great Plains. The farmers are also concerned that the deep lagoons where
hog waste is
stored could seep through the dry soil and pollute the aquifer. "We don't see
any good coming of
this," Travis says. "The hogs are only going to bring trouble."

The vast livestock factories are a long way from the here-a-pig, there-a-pig
operations of traditional
hog farms. The plants turn out pigs as if they were piggy banks from football
field--length buildings,
where the animals are confined to small pens and fed, medicated and monitored
with an exacting
precision that fattens them to 265 lbs. in six months. Then it's off to
slaughterhouses, where porkers
become pork chops, spareribs and bacon.

These porkopolises are multiplying like rabbits across the U.S. The newcomers
increased their share
of the $30 billion U.S. pork industry from 7% to 17% between 1988 and 1994;
experts say the
factories will live higher on the hog by the end of next year, capturing nearly
30% of the market.

Don't expect the factory pigs to be entered in the county fair. "There's a
serious question as to
whether these facilities can still be called agriculture," argues Nancy
Thompson, staff attorney for the
Center for Rural Affairs in Walthill, Nebraska, which opposes the megafarms.
"They are more like a
commercial industry than a farm."

The march of commerce is being challenged by environmentalists and advocates of
rural values. In
North Carolina, where a population of 8.5 million hogs exceeds the state's 7.2
million people,
opposition surged last summer after a rain-swollen lagoon spilled 22 million
gal. of hog feces and
urine over the countryside. At a "Hog Summit" two weeks ago, environmental
activists made 12
recommendations to the state, including measures to reduce odors and limit the
construction of farms
near watersheds.

In Kansas, voters in 12 of the 14 counties that have put factory farms on the
ballot in recent years
have elected to keep them out. In Nebraska, a state ban on corporate farms has
sharply slowed
their growth. Elsewhere, opponents have used zoning and environmental laws to
block plans for new
farms. Residents are also seeking to shut plants now in operation. "The smells
are horrendous,"
complains Carla Smalts, an Oklahoma farm wife who has sued to prevent a pig
palace from opening
near her home. She's also helping to coordinate anti-hog farm movements in five
states. In
Colorado, where water rights are often a heated issue, Travis, Dobler and an
organization called
Alliance Conserving Tomorrow used state groundwater laws that restrict new wells
to stop Midwest
Farms from drilling on the 8,000 acres that it is acquiring for its site.

Nationally, the battle may be decided at the dinner table. Health-conscious
Americans are eating
more of "the other white meat." Thanks in part to marketing campaigns that
stress the low fat content
of pork, consumption in the U.S. has edged up, from 49 lbs. per capita to 53
lbs. during the past
nine years, even as beef consumption has fallen, from 79 lbs. per capita to 68
lbs. (Americans eat
poultry, the current king of the table, at the per-capita rate of 73 lbs. a
year.) The lofty goal of the
National Pork Producers Council is to overtake beef by the year 2000. Growing
even faster are
U.S. exports of pork, which have quadrupled, to 720 million lbs. a year over the
past eight years.

There are a few towns--hamlets, if you will--where the factories are being
welcomed. Rol Hudler,
mayor of Burlington, Colorado (pop. 3,000), smells prosperity in the 200 jobs
Midwest Farms has
promised to bring to town. "The benefits for us will be mind boggling," Hudler
says. For his part,
Midwest president Houser

Vietnam: A Case on Point for Undermining of a Population

You can immediately see the effect that consumption of refined sugar has on a population, and since these effects are known, the distribution of refined sugar to a population constitutes a criminal act. In Vietnam the U.S. Government instituted a very successful program of selling the Vietnamese processed polished rice (which you can see at the supermarket) as a replacement for their whole grain rice which contains the B vitamin (thiamine) complex. Immediately the general health of the Vietnamese began to suffer, especially when they were exposed to American processed foods and soft beverages. The combination of white rice and white sugar was a lethal combination for the Vietnamese. U.S. medical officials in Vietnam in 1971 pretended to be stumped, and decided to announce that a mysterious disease was being coming rampant and a vaccine had to be found. Warnings were broadcast over radio and television and millions of leaflets were dropped. The Vietnamese government was then stuck with the bill for blood plasma and IV fluids which the U.S.Government airlifted in to "solve the problem". I remember it because I was there when this was going on.

Refined Sugar, Diabetes and Hypoglycemia

Dietary causes are not the only cause of a malfunction of body insulin production, but dietary relationships are what we will focus on here.

Government Ignores Symptoms of Sugar Consumption

From World War I to the Vietnam era, physical examinations of draftees points to a steady increase of diabetes among teenagers and the population in general. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, as well as a major contributor to disability and death from disease of the kidney and the heart. The current estimate of those with diabetes in the United States is more than twenty million people. The number of people suffering from pre-diabetic symptoms, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose, very often the precursor of full diabetes) is estimated to be over 100 million people the number is going up each day because of the criminal practices of the American food industry and the spineless government beseiged with payoffs and constant lobbying for increased profits.

US Dept of Health and Human Welfare Ignores Neurological Symptomology

According to a September 1973 letter from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (an organization that exists, like others, to ensure the exact opposite), unpublished data shows that out of 134,000 people interviewed in 1973, 66,000 (49.2%) reported the symptoms of hyperglycemia (sweating, shakiness, trembling, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, headache, weakness, and occasionally seizures and coma). According to the Journal of the American Medican Association in 1973, "the majority of people with these symptoms do not have hypoglycemia". The fact they they do not state what they have is significant, yet they cannot claim to know unless they really know what is happening and they are not telling anyone.

Since the HEW study remains unpublished the AMA can claim not to know about it, and say that the claims of widespread hypoglycemia in the United States are "not supported by medical evidence", since the HEW study reported statistical epidemiological evidence. The patients reported the evidence, not the doctors. Therefore, it is not "medical" evidence.

Diabetes and Sugar: Denmark as a Case in Point

Hippocrates never described a case of diabetes. The only country where actual statistics relating to diabetes and the consumption of sugar is Denmark. In 1880, the average Danish citizen consumed over 29 pounds of refined sugar annually. At that time, the recorded death rate from diabetes was 1.8 per 100,000. In 1911, consumption more than doubled to 82 pounds per person, and the death rate from diabetes rose to 8 per 100,000. In 1934, sugar consumption rose to 113 pounds per person and the death rate from diabetes rose to 18.9 per 100,000. Before World War II, Denmark has a higher conscumption of sugar than any other European country. It is interesting that one out of five people in Demark also have cancer. In Sweden, annual consumption per person of refined sugar rose from 12 pounds in 1880 to over 120 pounds per person in 1929. One out of six people in Sweden has cancer. The conclusion is inescapable: as refined sugar consumption increases, the incidence of fatal disease increases to match it.

Insulin Market as a Financial Windfall

The discovery of synthetically produced insulin meant that the pharmaceutical industry had another financial windfall, and the surge in refined sugar production in the United States in the 1920's ensured that the profit would escalat

This essay is in reference to a "Hate Crimes Bill" that has gone

So in another post I saw something about agression possiblally

With Clinton as a example it seems as if this is so.

[CTRL] Fwd: Landmark Legal Calls for Clinton's Disbarment

1999-04-28 Thread 1lls0081

 -Caveat Lector-

http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover.shtml

Tuesday April 27, 1:09 AM

  Landmark Legal Calls for Clinton's Disbarment


  In September, Landmark Legal Foundation's Mark Levin urged Paula
  Jones Judge Susan Webber Wright to hold Bill Clinton in contempt
  for lying to her court. Seven months later, she did just that.

  If Wright's decision can be read as a bow to Landmark's earlier
  advice, then the White House better get ready to duck again.
  Because now Landmark is calling for Clinton to be disbarred in
  no uncertain terms:

  "The president has demonstrated himself to be an unethical
  lawyer and a menace and disgrace to the profession," Levin told
  the conservative weekly Human Events.

  He'd also like to see a home-state probe into alleged White
  House obstruction of the Jones case by the Arkansas Supreme
  Court's Committee on Professional Conduct, complete with the
  actual living, breathing witnesses we didn't see in the Senate
  impeachment trial.

  "The next step," says Levin, "must be a full investigation by
  the committee into Mr. Clinton's conduct, including holding
  hearings and taking testimony from Clinton, Lewinsky and perhaps
  others involved in defrauding the court and [Paula] Jones."

  Of course, even if the state Supreme Court was to take Levin's
  challenge, the odds are long that it would see things his way.
  First, the Clintons are still a powerful influence in Arkansas
  legal circles.

  And then there's this: "Arkansas judges, remember, are required
  to swear a loyalty oath to the Democratic Party." (The Wall
  Street Journal -- Dec. 15, 1993)

  That observation might not bode well for future justice in
  Arkansas, but it sure goes a long way toward explaining what's
  happened in the past.

  New Charges Spur March for Clinton's Resignation

  With President Clinton's Senate trial acquittal two months ago,
  some expected that those still offended by White House
  criminality would take their cue from Senate Republicans and
  just go away quietly. But then, they didn't count on Internet
  journalist and political activist Andrew Amirault.

  Amirault has organized March on Washington '99. On May 1, he and
  other like-minded citizens will gather on the White House
  Ellipse to issue a renewed call for Clinton's resignation.

  But haven't we been there, done that? Not exactly, says
  Amirault, who points to a whole host of serious allegations that
  have emerged in the weeks since Clinton's acquittal.

  "I believe Juanita Broaddrick. I believe our president is a
  rapist," says Amirault, referring to Broaddrick's charge that 21
  years ago this past Sunday, then-Arkansas Attorney General Bill
  Clinton raped her. Though the Arkansas woman told her story to
  NBC during the height of Clinton's trial, the network kept the
  lid on till the coast was clear.

  And then there's the Chinese, who seem to have purchased
  extraordinary amounts of secret U.S. nuclear technology for
  modest donations to Clinton's presidential campaigns. Each
  post-impeachment week brings news of yet another espionage
  incident at our most sensitive research facilities.

  And now Kosovo, complete with an apparent stealth plan to insert
  American ground troops into the Balkans without congressional
  approval. Amirault says Clinton's Kosovo crisis is nothing but a
  calculated diversion from the China spy scandal, even at the
  risk of provoking World War III.

  March organizers have recruited an impressive speaker list for
  the May 1 event, including U.S. Rep. and impeachment trial
  manager Bob Barr, "Year of the Rat" author William Triplett,
  "Clinton Chronicles" producer Pat Matrisciana and others.

One thing to add.  They have the US set up to be the food area

They are suicidal, and by allowing this - you are not riding the

Speculated: that people like this actually want to be caught.

Speculated: battle between good and evil.
the ones that started this, that are ultimately
behind this are doing this as no more than a game.
They think that when the children are old enough to ask the
questions they are old enough to know the answers.  They
are being led to believe that there is no good in the Constitutional
way of thought, and that they (evil, Devil) are/ is winning because we
have to many faults to be able to see good.  That this experiment
of Democracy needs to be redone.

The ones that believe in the "Ultimate Truth or Consequences"
are being fed propaganda - to the effect that this is the
"Will of the American People"
it is not, and it is not what the American way of thought
or what is taught by the Constitution
is about.

It is time to play "Truth or Consequences" with the

Re: [CTRL] Arksanas State Senators Indicted

1999-04-28 Thread 1lls0081

 -Caveat Lector-

Check out a Utah case involving some homeschoolers that did not want
to put one of their children on Ritalin.  Was used as a springboard to
take children away from their parents and put them in the school district.
These parents - one had developed physical problems that made work
hard to find and the mother was keeping things on a shoe sting so that
she could still home school.  This case went after welfare recipients that
wanted to educate their children.  Peter Breggin (he has a web site, that
did not mention this case) was one of the witnesses against Ritalin.
Either he is not as much as a expert as he claims or there was something
else.  Could be the forces that be were just to strong.

Anyway the children were taken away, foster homes, one or two sexually
abused in the homes, I believe one of them has already committed suicide.

If someone follows on this will you please send me the update.  At one
time there was a web page supporting this family.

I also "think" that I remember mention of more social workers hired
that supported the idea of the state raising children.

[CTRL] Essay from Time Magazine

1999-04-25 Thread 1lls0081

 -Caveat Lector-

The following article appeared in the 26 April 1999 issue of Time
Magazine.  It provides some food for thought in light of the current
election campaign.


E S S A Y
Brian Walden
The Hole in Democracy's Heart

He is the model of villainy, but Hitler came to power through the ballot
box

Today in the Western world, little is sacred. Law, authority,
religion, honor are daily mocked. Yet one idea has attained a sanctity
which Christianity might envy.  That idea is democracy.  Whatever ever
else may be challenged, no one from any quarter of the political spectrum
ever questions the idea of majority rule through the ballot box.  All
sides accord it magical powers.

Democracy, we are told, brings not merely political responsibility
and maturity but happiness and prosperity.  See it bring joy to those who
once labored under communism.  Pity the victims of African dictatorships,
whose societies would resemble our own could they enjoy its benefits.
Bewail the absence of democracy in both Yugoslavia and Iraq.  If these
countries could cast off the dictator's yoke they would become as fair and
decent, as just and reasonable, as NATO's members.

To shatter this dewy-eyed view of the benefits democracy must
bring, we need look no farther than the greatest disaster which humanity
has managed to contrive, Germany's Third Reich.  Adolf Hitler is usually
presented as a great dictator, a monster as separate from the German
people as we like to believe Saddam is from the Iraqis and Milosevic is
from the Serbs.  Unfortunately, Hitler was a product not of the absence of
democracy but of the democratic process itself.

Hitler polled more votes in a free election than any German before him.
People who are aware of his popularity often assume that he managed to
sell his program of aggression and genocide because of unique
circumstances.  Germany's national humiliation after the loss of World War
I and the economic depression of the 1930s get most of the blame.  Yet the
truth is more alarming, and far more damaging to the idea that democracy
is the solution to all of humanity's problems.

For Hitler, like many of today's leaders, democratic politics was simply a
means of securing power.  He had tried a putsch in 1923, but it had been a
complete failure.  Unlike most of today's leaders, however, he had a very
clear idea of what he wanted to do with power when he got it, and he made
no secret of his grim ambitions.  Mein Kampf was first published in 1925.
Hitler found, however, that in spite of the supposedly vulnerable
condition of the national psyche, the promise of a final solution to the
Jewish problem and more Lebensraum for the German people was not the
vote-winner he might have expected.

So what was a would-be monster to do?  Hitler believed he understood "the
secret heart" of the German people, and used this understanding to turn a
people otherwise unsympathetic to his objectives into ardent supporters.
What were the hidden yearnings to which he was able to appeal?  Not the
desire for a world war which would bring them untold suffering or a
campaign of genocide which would blacken their name forever.  Instead,
Hitler appealed to an apparently harmless longing which is as strong today
in many quarters as it was then.

Then as now, many people felt unsettled by the uncertainty of a world in
which ancient structures of authority had collapsed and no one any longer
had a settled place.  What Hitler offered them was an inclusive folk
community which would find a position for every one of them.  This was the
message that combined with economic anxiety to pile up the votes the Nazis
needed.  Hitler told Germans they did not need to listen to the endless
arguments of the democratic parties, which he knew they found baffling and
irritating.  Instead they could look forward to consensus based on the
decisions made by a leader they could trust.

It was a flimsy message, potentially raising many awkward questions.  But
Hitler had grasped a truth about democratic politics which is even more
enthusiastically embraced now than it was then.  He believed that style
mattered more than substance and made sure that his message was superbly
marketed.  Before the age of television politics was an outdoor affair, so
Hitler enveloped his message in spectacle-red, white and black flags,
eagle banners, bands blaring martial music, heart-warming speeches and the
chanting of simple slogans.  The excitement of it all was enough to quell
doubts.  The Germans who fell for it were not vicious or rapacious.  They
were simply unwilling or unable to exercise the scrutiny required by the
democratic process.  Today, as discussion of public affairs grows ever
more cursory and infantile, the absence of such scrutiny is even more
striking than it was in the 1930s.  It may not have given us another
Hitler yet, but it could.  It is not a passing aberration in the working
of democ

How many farmers kept their land during the depression?
Which meat packer will by your animals?
Which grain towers will be open to buy your grain?
Which bank will be ready to foreclose - because they
already know what is (was) planed?
We were on the "land" standard at one time
then
We were on the gold standard
then
we go back to the land standard, and guess who
planned (plans) to own all the land?
then
could we be ''quietly'' switching to the bio standard?
this would mean that all the plans since starting the KKK
are out the window.
If the Intergalactic standard were based on how much

Who would be the laughing stock of the intergalactic

Tough questions for married couples:

Sex as an activity does not involve higher thinking
skills.  To base a relationship on sex,
to base life on sex, removes the innocense of life.
Look around you, would life keep going if animals
and plants were to consider homosexualism a viable
alternative?  I like to eat and how long would we have
animals and plants if this were true?

Sex may be a drive, has been termed “Sex Drive”
but it is not the vehicle for understanding since it is
only ONE of the basic drives.  So what is the
vehicle for understanding life?  Education is
what is needed to understand life.  Education
is something that has to happen from the moment
that you are born if you are to continue living.

So it seems that it does not matter if a male gets
paid or if he pays.  (Gigalo or "husband")
If he is not involved in the education of the children,
at least to the extent of continuing his own education -
read a book that you have assigned to the kids too, and
expect a book report once a month.  If he is not to be a
role model for education, consistancy, and commentment
what is he.  If I had a husband that believed it was ok to
just spread it around than -- he would not be my husband
for long.  What commentment does that show?

Since the people that worship to Baal do not
see anything as “Politically Incorrect” to deleate
knowledge from our database is to leave the
door open to Human Sacrifice.

If the base line is education.  Does just studing
history / religion one day a week for social purposes
show a respect for education?

So the question behind door number one is...
What is the difference between a male that is hetrosexual
and a male that is homosexual?
the ability to have children, without cloning, within
a viable relationship that shows respect for the way
that (higher) plants and animals replicate.
I guess so companies could be setting up clonning
as a viable alternative.  Would clonning allow us to
understand history and the way that the world normally
works?

What is involved in having children?  What makes
us different from a lion or a eagle?

the French or
 Italian Riviera. Across the bay of deepest blue the purple mountains of
Gonave loom
 against the Western sky, rivaling the bay's azure depths. Back of the
business section,
 spreading around the bay's great sweep and well into the plain beyond, rise
the green
 hills with their white residences. The residential section spreads over the
slopes and
 into the mountain tiers. High up are the homes of the well-to-do, beautiful
villas set in
 green gardens relieved by the flaming crimson of the poinsettia. Despite
the imposing
 mountains a man-made edifice dominates the scene. From the center of the
city the
 great Gothic cathedral lifts its spires above the tranquil city. Well paved
and clean, the
 city prolongs the thrill of its first unfolding. Cosmopolitan yet quaint,
with an old-world
 atmosphere yet a charm of its own, one gets throughout the feeling of
continental
 European life. In the hotels and cafes the affairs of the world are heard
discussed in
 several languages. The cuisine and service are not only excellent but
inexpensive. At
 the Café Dereix, cool and scrupulously clean, dinner from hors d’oeuvres to
glaces,
 with wine, of course, recalling the famous antebellum hostelries of New
York and
 Paris, may be had for six gourdes [$1.25].

  A drive of two hours around Port-au-Prince, through the newer section
of brick
 and concrete buildings, past the cathedral erected from 1903 to 1912, along
the
 Champ de Mars where the new presidential palace stands, up into the Peu de
Choses
 section where the hundreds of beautiful villas and grounds of the
well-to-do are
 situated, permanently dispels any lingering question that the Haitians have
been
 retrograding during the 116 years of their independence.

  In the lower city, along the water's edge, around the market and in
the Rue
 Républicaine, is the "local color." The long rows of wooden shanties, the
curious little
 booths around the market, filled with jabbering venders and with scantily
clad children,
 magnificent in body, running in and out, are no less picturesque and no
more primitive,
 no humbler, yet cleaner, than similar quarters in Naples, in Lisbon, in
Marseilles, and
 more justifiable than the great slums of civilization’s centers -- London
and New York,
 which are totally without aesthetic redemption. But it is only the
modernists in history
 who are willing to look at the masses as factors in the life and
development of the
 country, and in its history. For Haitian history, like history the world
over, has for the
 last century been that of cultured and educated groups. To know Haitian
life one must
 have the privilege of being received as a guest in the houses of these
latter, and they
 live in beautiful houses. The majority have been educated in France; they
are cultured,
 brilliant conversationally, and thoroughly enjoy their social life. The
women dress well.
 Many are beautiful and all vivacious and chic. Cultivated people from any
part of the
 world would feel at home in the best Haitian society. If our guest were to
enter to the
 Cercle Bellevue, the leading club of Port-au-Prince, he would find the
courteous,
 friendly atmosphere of a men's club; he would hear varying shades of
opinion on public
 questions, and could scarcely fail to be impressed by the thorough
knowledge of world
 affairs possessed by the intelligent Haitian. Nor would his encounters be
only with
 people who have culture and savoir vivre; he would meet the Haitian
intellectuals --
 poets, essayists, novelists, historians, critics. Take for example such a
writer as
 Fernand Hibbert. An English authority says of him, "His essays are worthy
of the pen
 of Anatole France or Pierre Loti." And there is Georges Sylvaine, poet and
essayist,
 conférencier at the Sorbonne, where his address was received with acclaim,
author of
 books crowned by the French Academy, and an Officer of the Légion
d'Honneur.
 Hibbert and Sylvaine are only two among a dozen or more contemporary
Haitian men
 of letters whose work may be measured by world standards. Two names th

Self-Determining Haiti

   III. Government Of, By, and For the National City
   Bank

   By James Weldon Johnson

 The Nation 111 (Sept. 11, 1920).



 Former articles of this series described the Military Occupation of Haiti
and the
 crowd of civilian place holders as among the forces at work in Haiti to
maintain the
 present status in that country. But more powerful though less obvious, and
more
 sinister, because of its deep and varied radications, is the force
exercised by the
 National City Bank of New York. It seeks more than the mere maintenance of
the
 present status in Haiti; it is constantly working to bring about a
condition more suitable
 and profitable to itself. Behind the Occupation, working conjointly with
the Department
 of State, stands this great banking institution of New York and elsewhere.
The financial
 potentates allied with it are the ones who will profit by the control of
Haiti. The United
 States Marine Corps and the various office-holding "deserving Democrats,"
who help
 maintain the status quo there, are in reality working for great financial
interests in this
 country, although Uncle Sam and Haiti pay their salaries.

  Mr. Roger L. Farnham, vice-president of the National City Bank, was
 effectively instrumental in bringing about American intervention in Haiti.
With the
 administration at Washington, the word of Mr. Farnham supersedes that of
anybody
 else on the island. While Mr. Bailly-Blanchard, with the title of minister,
is its
 representative in name, Mr. Farnham is its representative in fact. His
goings and
 comings are aboard vessels of the United States Navy. His bank, the
National City,
 has been in charge of the Banque Nationale d'Haiti throughout the
Occupation.(1) Only
 a few weeks ago he was appointed receiver of the National Railroad of
Haiti,
 controlling practically the entire railway system in the island with
valuable territorial
 concessions in all parts.(2) The $5,000,000 sugar plant at Port-au-Prince,
it is
 commonly reported, is about to fall into his hands.

  Now, of all the various responsibilities, expressed, implied, or
assumed by the
 United States in Haiti, it would naturally be supposed that the financial
obligation would
 be foremost. Indeed, the sister republic of Santo Domingo was taken over by
the
 United States Navy for no other reason than failure to pay its internal
debt. But Haiti
 for over one hundred years scrupulously paid its external and internal debt
-- a fact
 worth remembering when one hears of "anarchy and disorder" in that land --
until five
 years ago when under the financial guardianship of the United States
interest on both
 the internal and, with one exception, external debt was defaulted; and this
in spite of
 the fact that specified revenues were pledged for the payment of this
interest. Apart
 from the distinct injury to the honor and reputation of the country, the
hardship on
 individuals has been great. For while the foreign debt is held particularly
in France
 which, being under great financial obligations to the United States since
the beginning of
 the war, has not been able to protest effectively, the interior debt is
held almost entirely
 by Haitian citizens. Haitian Government bonds have long been the recognized

 substantial investment for the well-to-do and middle class people,
considered as are in
 this country, United States, state, and municipal bonds. Non-payment on
these
 securities has placed many families in absolute want.

  What has happened to these bonds? They are being sold for a song, for
the little
 cash they will bring. Individuals closely connected with the National Bank
of Haiti are
 ready purchasers. When the new Haitian loan is floated it will, of course,
contain ample
 provisions for redeeming these old bonds at par. The profits will be more
than
 handsome. Not that the National Bank has not already made hay in the
sunshine of
 American Occupation. From the beginning it has been sole depositary of all
revenues
 collected in the name of the Haitian Government by the American Occupation,

 receiving in addition to the interest rate a commission on all funds
deposited. The bank
 is the sole agent in the transmission of these funds. It has also the
exclusive note-issuing
 privilege in the republic. At the same time complaint is widespread among
the Haitian
 business men that the Bank no longer as of old accommodates them with
credit and
 that its interests are now entirely in developments of its own.

Self-Determining Haiti

  II. What the United States Has Accomplished

   By James Weldon Johnson

  The Nation 111 (Sept. 4, 1920).



 When the truth about the conquest of Haiti -- slaughter of three thousand
and
 practically unarmed Haitians, with the incidentally needless death of a
score of
 American boys -- begins to filter through the rigid Administration
censorship to the
 American people, the apologists will become active. Their justification of
what has
 been done will be grouped under two heads: one, the necessity, and two, the
results.
 Under the first, much stress will be laid upon the "anarchy" which existed
in Haiti, upon
 the backwardness of the Haitians and their absolute unfitness to govern
themselves.
 The pretext which caused the intervention was taken up in the first article
of this series.
 The characteristics, alleged and real, of the Haitian people will be taken
up in a
 subsequent article. Now as to results: The apologists will attempt to show
that material
 improvements in Haiti justify American intervention. Let us see what they
are.

  Diligent inquiry reveals just three: The building of the road from
Port-au-Prince
 to Cape Haitien; the enforcement of certain sanitary regulations in the
larger cities; and
 the improvement of the public hospital at Port-au-Prince. The enforcement
of certain
 sanitary regulations is not so important as it may sound, for even under
exclusive native
 rule, Haiti has been a remarkably healthy country and had never suffered
from such
 epidemics as used to sweep Cuba and the Panama Canal region. The
regulations,
 moreover, were of a purely minor character -- the sort that might be issued
by a board
 of health in any American city or town -- and were in no wise fundamental,
because
 there was no need. The same applies to the improvement of the hospital,
long before
 the American Occupation, an effectively conducted institution but which, it
is only fair
 to say, benefitted considerably by the regulations and more up-to-date
methods of
 American army surgeons -- the best in the world. Neither of these
accomplishments,
 however, creditable as they are, can well be put forward as a justification
for military
 domination. The building of the great highway from Port-au-Prince to Cape
Haitien is a
 monumental piece of work, but it is doubtful whether the object in building
it was to
 supply the Haitians with a great highway or to construct a military road
which would
 facilitate the transportation of troops and supplies from one end of the
island to the
 other. And this represents the sum total of the constructive accomplishment
after five
 years of American Occupation.

  Now, the highway, while doubtless the most important achievement of
the three,
 involved the most brutal of all the blunders of the Occupation. The work
was in charge
 of an officer of Marines who stands out even in that organization for his
"treat 'em
 rough" methods. He discovered the obsolete Haitian corvée and decided to
enforce it
 with the most modern Marine efficiency. The corvée, or road law, in Haiti
provided
 that each citizen should work a certain number of days on the public roads
to keep
 them in condition, or pay a certain sum of money. In the days when this law
was in
 force the Haitian government never required the men to work the roads
except in their
 respective communities, and the number of days was usually limited to three
a year.
 But the Occupation seized men wherever it could find them, and no
able-bodied
 Haitian was safe from such raids, which most closely resembled the African
slave raids
 of past centuries. And slavery it was -- though temporary. By day or by
night, from the
 bosom of their families, from their little farms or while trudging
peacefully on the
 country roads, Haitians were seized and forcibly taken to toil for months
in far sections
 of the country. Those who protested or resisted were beaten into
submission. At night,
 after long hours of unremitting labor under armed taskmasters, who swiftly
discouraged
 any slackening of effort with boot or rifle butt, the victims were herded
in compounds.
 Those attempting to escape were shot. Their terror-stricken families
meanwhile were
 often in total ignorance of the fate of their husbands, fathers, brothers.

  It is chiefly out of these methods that arose the need for
"pacification." Many
 men of the rural districts became panic-stricken and fled to the hills and
mountains.
 Others rebelled and did likewise, preferring death to slavery

Self-Determining Haiti

I. The American Occupation

   By James Weldon Johnson

 The Nation 111 (Aug. 28, 1920).



 To know the reasons for the present political situation in Haiti, to
understand why the
 United States landed and has for five years maintained military forces in
that country,
 why some three thousand Haitian men, women, and children have been shot
down by
 American rifles and machine guns, it is necessary, among other things, to
know that the
 National City Bank of New York is very much interested in Haiti. It is
necessary to
 know that the National City Bank controls the National Bank of Haiti and is
the
 depository for all of the Haitian national funds that are being collected
by American
 officials, and that Mr. R. L. Farnham, vice-president of the National City
Bank, is
 virtually the representative of the State Department in matters relating to
the island
 republic. Most Americans have the opinion -- if they have any opinion at
all on the
 subject -- that the United States was forced, on purely humane grounds, to
intervene in
 the black republic because of the tragic coup d'etat which resulted in the
overthrow
 and death of President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam and the execution of the
political
 prisoners confined at Port-au-Prince, July 27-28, 1915; and that this
government has
 been compelled to keep a military force in Haiti since that time to pacify
the country
 and maintain order.

  The fact is that for nearly a year before forcible intervention on the
part of the
 United States this government was seeking to compel Haiti to submit to
"peaceable"
 intervention. Toward the close of 1914 the United States notified the
government of
 Haiti that it was disposed to recognize the newly-elected president,
Theodore
 Davilmar, as soon as a Haitian commission would sign at Washington
"satisfactory
 protocols" relative to a convention with the United States on the model of
the
 Dominican-American Convention. On December 15, 1914, the Haitian
government,
 through its Secretary of Foreign Affairs, replied: "The Government of the
Republic of
 Haiti would consider itself lax in its duty to the United States and to
itself if it allowed
 the least doubt to exist of its irrevocable intention not to accept any
control of the
 administration of Haitian affairs by a foreign Power." On December 19, the
United
 States, through its legation at Port-au-Prince, replied, that in expressing
its willingness
 to do in Haiti what had been done in Santo Domingo it "was actuated
entirely by a
 disinterested desire to give assistance."

  Two months later, the Theodore government was overthrown by a
revolution
 and Vilbrun Guillaume was elected president. Immediately afterwards there
arrived at
 Port-au-Prince an American commission from Washington -- the Ford mission.
The
 commissioners were received at the National Palace and attempted to take up
the
 discussion of the convention that had been broken off in December, 1914.
However,
 they lacked full powers and no negotiations were entered into. After
several days, the
 Ford mission sailed for the United States. But soon after, in May, the
United States
 sent to Haiti Mr. Paul Fuller, Jr., with the title Envoy Extraordinary, on
a special
 mission to apprise the Haitian government that the Guillaume administration
would not
 be recognized by the American government unless Haiti accepted and signed
the
 project of a convention which he was authorized to present. After examining
the
 project the Haitian government submitted to the American commission a
 counter-project, formulating the conditions under which it would be
possible to accept
 the assistance of the United States. To this counter-project Mr. Fuller
proposed
 certain modifications, some of which were accepted by the Haitian
government. On
 June 5, 1915, Mr. Fuller acknowledged the receipt of the Haitian
communication
 regarding these modifications, and sailed from Port-au-Prince.

  Before any further discussion of the Fuller project between the two
 governments, political incidents in Haiti led rapidly to the events of July
27 and 28. On
 July 27 President Guillaume fled to the French Legation, and on the same
day took
 place a massacre of the political prisoners in the prison at
Port-au-Prince. On the
 morning of July 28 President Guillaume was forcibly taken from French
Legation and
 killed. On the afternoon of July 28 an American man-of-war dropped anchor
in the

 -Caveat Lector-

Rough Outline 1

a) Year(s) Bush caught as a pedophile
b) year Marc Dutreoux “the pedophile and serial killer”
was in action (ref. 10 and 11)
c) Coors connections with  Regan, Bush, Gore, Dole or
   their families. (ref 8)
d) year(s) Clinton was governor of Arkansas – When the
plasma was sold, that had STD’s in it.
e) the fact that AIDS has not been proved to be
cause by a virus.

Canada and other countries low on plasma because
of AIDS.

Africa losing one of it’s ways of making money
(it can not sell plasma because of AIDS).

More turning to pedophilia in the belief that children do
not have AIDS, yet.

France not planting as many flowers for perfumes
and fragrances (losing land) these are being based
on petro chemicals or just chemicals instead.
Rising rate of allergies.

CIA (Bush) “connected” to getting many welfare
recipients hooked on drugs.  Convicted Felons in
prisons in the news over their receiving food stamps.
Students with rich parents receiving food stamps when
they do not need them.  In cutting these people out they
cut out many legitimate families that need food stamps.

Willie Nelson in trouble with the IRS – but could it
have been because of “Farm Aid” and the fact that
he helped the farmers – instead of just because of
back taxes.

Belgium having problems, some countries see
pedophilia as normal.  Some places in the Soviet Union
allow sex as low as 14, too.

A Ruler (King or Queen) could not control all the
subjects personally, previously.  But with Data Bases
what government needs that autonomity of the states,
or even to have banks or any kind of professional or
education.  America’s “Rulers” are promising the
world because they do not see that they will have to
deliver.  With cloning and the potential that they might
be around hundreds of years, they want complete
control.  W.W.II was a dry run on how to do it to the
USA.  Why has it been slow?  They want to undermine
the constitutional ideas completely – world wide.  To
have complete control of the world.  Many see it as
Something that  “1984” by George Orwell or “Brave
New World” Aldous Huxley, it will be more like
Germany written by Adolph Hitler and Comp.  These
people are just putting out propaganda leading you to
these ideas.

AARP one of the largest special interest groups,
think what would happen it these people were
around hundreds of years because of cloning.
We are polluting their world.  Why do they need
so many people, they would think of us as a surplus.

Take America off the gold standard, inflate the prices
so that the land has little value to agriculture, put
individual farmers out of business by creating
catastrophes, all land being paid for with loans from
banks, declare a emergency take over banks,
“government” owns all land.  Take us off animal
products because animal breeders would see the
effects of what “they” are putting out as food faster
– more generations of animals.  Fur breeders would
see it the fastest.

They have attempted to put together a psychological
climate that justifies what they are doing.

Now I say that they are insane!  Why?  If we replicate,
where will we get the source code?  Take a look
at the wilderness – it is a DNA source code.  Where
are they documenting it?  They are destroying our value.
If there were an intergalactic stock market, what would
they trade in?  Gold and Diamonds seem to be in
many meteorites, probably common in space.  How
about in DNA source codes?  If you think about the
diversity of color and body styles in Africa you can
understand why the Dye companies that became
Pharmicudical companies would want to control
that knowledge and have it where many of us do
not think of Africa on those terms.  The different
hormones, steroids, minerals, vitamins ECT that
have contributed to Africa’s diversity.

Think of Deer or any other grazing animal, they
will overgraze their territory without predators.
They are not self sustainable, they go to the limit
of the advisable food supply, and the ones that
lead them do so mainly on the basis of brute strength.
When you take out the natural predators you better
have hunters.  They are putting us on the basis of
food animals and ruling by the basis of brute strength,
by not giving us all the knowledge we need to make
informed decisions.

Getting back to that “potential” intergalactic stock market,
when the Earth can not be traded as a source of
“DNA source codes” I guess it will be traded as a
source of food animals.  Consider they have shown
that Humans are non sustainable, have been shown
to be relatively brainless but we could take care of
ourselves until harvested.  With the amount of
chemicals doing us in, it seems as if we are suppose to
bury ourselves.  If that happens and they do decrease
the world like that, and we do go on the basis of
food animals – take heart in the knowledge that
they will be the first ones culled out!  Why?  Because
they would get rid of the very breeders that

George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography --- by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton
Chaitkin


Chapter -XXI- Omaha

On the morning of June 29, 1989, pandemonium erupted in the corridors of
power
in the nation's
capital. ``Homosexual Prostitution Probe Ensnares Official of Bush,
Reagan,''
screamed the
front-page headline of the Washington Times with the kicker ``Call Boys
Took
Midnight Tour of
White House.''

The Times reported, ``A homosexual prostitution ring is under investigation
by
federal and District
authorities and includes among its clients key officials of the Reagan and
Bush
administrations,
military officers, congressional aides and U.S. and foreign businessmen
with
close ties to
Washington's political elite.''

The exposeé centered on the role of one Craig Spence, a Republican
powerbroker
known for his
lavish ``power cocktail'' parties. Spence was well connected. He celebrated
Independence Day
1988 by conducting a midnight tour of the White House in the company of two
teenage male
prostitutes among others in his party.

Rumors circulated that a list existed of some 200 Washington prominents who
had
used the call boy
service. The Number Two in charge of personnel affairs at the White House,
who
was responsible
for filling all the top civil service posts in the federal bureaucracy, and
Secretary of Labor Elizabeth
Dole's chief of staff, were two individuals publicly identified as patrons
of
the call boy ring.

Two of the ring's call boys were allegedly KGB operatives, according to a
retired general from the
Defense Intelligence Agency interviewed by the press. But the evidence
seemed to
point to a CIA
sexual blackmail operation, instead. Spence's entire mansion was covered
with
hidden microphones,
two-way mirrors and video cameras, ever ready to capture the indiscretions
of
Washington's high,
mighty and perverse. The political criteria for proper sexual comportment
had
long been established
in Washington: Any kinkiness goes, so long as you don't get caught. The
popular
proverb was
that the only way a politician could hurt his career was if he were
``caught
with a dead woman or a
live boy'' in his bed.

Months after the scandal had died down, and a few weeks before he allegedly
committed suicide,
Spence was asked who had given him the ``key'' to the White House. The
Washington Times
reported that ``Mr. Spence hinted the tours were arranged by `top level'
persons, including Donald
Gregg, national security advisor to Vice President Bush''@s1 and later U.S.
ambassador to South
Korea.

We have already had occasion to examine Don Gregg's role in Iran-Contra,
and
have observed his
curious performance when testifying under oath before congressional
committees.
Gregg indignantly
denied any connection to Spence, yet it is public record that Spence had
sponsored a dinner in
Gregg's honor in the spring of 1989 at Washington's posh Four Seasons Hotel
in
Georgetown.

George Bush was less than pleased with the media coverage of the
prostitution
charges and kept
abreast of the scandal as it mushroomed. The Washington Times reported in
an
article titled ``White
House Mute on Call Boy Scandal,'' that ``White House sources confirmed that
President Bush has
followed the story of the late night visit and Mr. Spence's links to a
homosexual prostitution ring
under investigation by federal authorities since they were disclosed June
29 in
the Washington
Times. But top officials will not discuss the story's substance, reportedly
even
among themselves.

``Press officers have rebuffed repeated requests to obtain Mr. Bush's
reaction
and decline to discuss
investigations or fall out from the disclosures.''@s2 By midsummer, the
scandal
had been buried.
The President had managed to avoid giving a single press conference where
he
would surely have
been asked to comment.

As the call boy ring affair dominated the cocktail gossip circuit in
Washington,
another scandal,
halfway across the country in the state of Nebraska, peaked. Again this
scandal
knocked on the
President's door.

A black Republican who had been a leader in organizing minority support for
the
President's 1988
campaign and who proudly displayed a photo of himself and the President,
arm in
arm, in his Omaha
home, was at the center of a sex and money scandal that continues to rock
the
Cornhusker state.

The scandal originated with the collapse of the minority-oriented Franklin
Community Credit Union
in Omaha, directed by Lawrence E. King, Jr., a nationally influential black
Republican who sang the
national anthem at both the 1984 and 1988 Republican conventions. King
became
the subject of the
Nebraska Senate's investigation conducted by the specially created
``Franklin
Committee'' to probe
charges of embezzlement. In November 1988, King's offices were raided by
the FBI
and $40
million was discovered missing. Within weeks, the Nebraska Senate, which
initially opened the
inquiry to find out where the money had gone, in

The question that they neglect to address is this:  Does this bacteria have any
effect on a healthy gut?  Does it only effect those that are already sick?  Does
it only go after those that have already had their intestinal flora "temperarily"
destroyed because they have used pesticides or herbicides?  Are pesticides
and herbicides removed from our clorinated tapwater?

Let's go on to the question:  Does E-Coli exsist naturally but normally does
not effect us?  How does a female dog clean up after her puppies?  Is a
reaction to e-coli because of antibiotics?

This is from back in 1996 to 1998 but the issues are still being debated.
This is towards the end of the page.

Child Pornography Investigation in Holland, July 1998

According to Reuters, the Dutch police were
investigating allegations that an international child
pornography ring exploited toddlers as young as
two and distributed their images worldwide via the
Internet. "The investigation focuses on child pornography
in all its facets--the production and
distribution of the material," a local police spokesman
told Reuters, adding that the police were not
yet in possession of the alleged pornographic material.

The Dutch inquiry follows a report by an anti
pornography group that it found thousands of
computer disks in a flat in the Dutch seaside
town of Zandvoort. The disks were loaded with
pornographic pictures of children, according to
the Dutch current affairs television program NOVA
reported. The police spokesman would give no
further details of the case pending the outcome of
the investigation. He also declined to comment
on reports that Dutch police were working with
Belgian and German authorities.

"We are waiting for the [pornographic material] to
be handed over, then it will be used in our
investigation," the police spokesman said. "All the
material...is either in the hands of the television
[program] or the [Belgian group Morkhoven]."

According to the German newspaper Berliner
Morgenpost, Morkhoven stumbled across the disks
during a search for a Berlin boy who disappeared
under mysterious circumstances in 1993 when he
was 12. The trail led Morkhoven to the Netherlands
and finally to the Zandvoort flat, the newspaper
said. The child pornography network, which Berliner
Morgenpost said stretches around the globe,
has its center in Berlin.

It was not clear how Morkhoven gained access
to the address. The property’s owner, allegedly a
member of the ring, was reportedly murdered by
another gang member early this year in Italy.

According to NOVA, the pornographic pictures
uncovered in the flat were stored on thousands of
high-density disks. Morkhoven suspects the images
were passed via the Internet to a regular group
of customers. It claims the Zandvoort operation
was part of an international network of child
pornography producers and consumers, extending
to the United States, Russia, and Israel. Dutch
anti pornography campaigners have long complained
there is insufficient regulation of the Internet
and the material it carries.

One local group, Meldpunt Kinderporno, wrote
to the Dutch government recently urging the
introduction of measures to combat child pornography
on the Web.

Finland Police seized child pornography at the
Helsinki home of a 19 year-old student

On August 28, 1996 in helsinki - Finland the
police seized two computers and nearly 350 floppy
disks at the house of a 19 year-old student. The
material showed sadistic acts involving Caucasian
and Asian children, including torture, mutilation, and
cannibalism. Police specialist Kaj Malmberg
stated that:

 "These pictures of adults having sex with children
are really hard pornography. This is
exceptioannly severe hard pornography
involving very severe abuse of children"

The unnamed student was not arrested because
of the liberal Finnish law. Possession and
distribution of hard pornography is a minor
offence with a maximum penalty of six months in jail.
Malmberg stated that:

 "It's like speeding or something."

According to the Reuters report the Finnish
police must wait until the student returns from the
university outside Helsinki to even interrogate him.
According to the police the student's computer
system can be connected to the Internet and a
distribution link has been found with Sweeden.
Malmberg said he suspects people in several
other European countries had used the system.

Merja-Maarja Turunen with the National
Research and Development Centre for Welfare and
Health stated that Finland must crack down
against such offenders.

 "It is important. It's not a minor offence. It's
obvious that somewhere along the line a
child is being molested."

The arrest of Marc Dutroux in Belgium

   See the TIME article by clicking on the image.

THE Belgian government appealed for international
co-operation to crush paedophile rings as it
sought to defuse the nation's fury over the child
sex gang responsible for the death of two small girls.
The appeal from Stefaan De Clerck, the Justice
Minister, came as detectives in Neufchateau,
continued questioning Marc Dutroux in whose
garden the bodies of Julie Lejeune and Melissa Russo
were found along with that of Bernard Weinstein,
another gang member.

Despite intensive interrogation of Marc Dutroux,
there was little sign of a breakthrough in the hunt
for about a dozen missing Belgian children. They
include Ann Marchal, 19, and Eefje Lambrecks,
17, whom Dutroux allegedly admitted kidnapping

 MSG this section has links and a short summary For those of you
 that might consider this weighty, I am back to doing my web page
 and will add it to my site and then (most times just) post the URL
   in the future. I need to find where the FDA has approved the
 spraying of MSG on crops, someone sent that to me months ago
   and I have upgraded since that time. Knowing this and putting
 together with the following that I am compiling you will see more
 problems, with children as well. SPECULATION: Aspartame was
  approved during the Regan administration, more things seem to
 have been added during the Bush administration, and Clinton has
 allowed even more. Instead of hearing about MSG like we used to
 do - it and more things like Canola are being approved every day.
  Let me add this for educators - would be hard to educate a child
   even with Ritalin or some other help is they are getting this in
   their food - expressly the school lunches, and when I can find
  Canola oil as a ingredient in a major brand of frozen crinkle cut
  potatoes, Yes I do believe it and MSG will be in school lunches.
   Will add this to my site and redo my site soon. They think that
  they can just watch what they eat and that this might blow over.
 That is not the case, and I am not going into dramatics. This is not
 complete, I have to take time to learn other things too - for those
 of you that are skeptical, please check these out. Will be following

 (1) MSG and Aspartame Summary done on
   http://www.annapolis.net/members/holland/food.txt

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) derived from Glutamic acid,
 which is an excitotoxic amino acid that has been known to excite,
 brain cells sometimes to the point of killing them. MSG is a
  neurotropic drug (neurotropic means that it effects the nervous
 system) and when it effects a person the effects may not show up
  for up to 48 hours. Glutamic acid (an amino acid), and one of its
 salts is glutamate. Glutamate is one of the substances that make up
  protein. Different proteins are made up of different amino acids.
   MSG is manufactured through a process of protein hydrolysis.
   When glutamate is separated from protein and the product has
   99% free glutamate then it is called "monosodium glutamate."
When Protein Hydrolysate has less than 99% free glutamate,
usually within the range of 8 to 40 per cent, then the product
   might have one of these names - "sodium caseinate," "calcium
   caseinate," "autolyzed yeast," "textured protein," "yeast food,"
 "hydrolyzed vegetable protein," and "hydrolyzed protein."
  Hydrolyzed Protein (itself) may be in products under names like
"flavoring" or "natural flavoring." If you are concerned about
MSG sensitivity, or would like to help the Truth in Labeling

 and undergo interconversion via aspartate aminotransferase." "It is

Now for the regular, run of the mill person that has a same sex orientation.
They are normally not a sadist, or controlling.  Well, not any more so than a man
that has complete control of a female when he is lying on top of her.  Would
you call the missionary position - Sadistic or controlling?  That testosterone
should be good for something (up, down - you get the idea) for my view point I think
it is workable.

Some have been lead to believe that they should have been born the opposite
sex because of the fact that many animals can switch sexes.  Take a laying hen,
there have been some that have gone from a fertile hen to a fertile rooster.  Many

Homosexuals in the Military
OR Homosexual, Control Fiend, Pedophile



 Homosexuals: Who or What is Really Hiding in the Closet?
  (The Military as an Example)

Many people would define the homosexual lifestyle
as one of promiscuity. The reason for this is that
homosexuals seem to be like the legendary "Peter Pan."
By refusing to commit to someone of the
opposite sex, they normally do not have to worry
about the responsibility of children, much less the
responsibility of a commitment. Also if they do
decide to break off the relationship they normally do
not have to worry about the legal tangles of divorce.
Should admitted homosexuals that are seen as
promiscuous, unable to make commitments, and
unwilling to take on responsibility for other people
be allowed to serve in the military?

In the military you have to trust that the person next
to you is Reliable enough that they won't get you
killed. The military oath is a promise to defend the
country. The contract that you are required to
sign upon being accepted into the military is a commitment.
Being in the military, means that you are
responsible for the people you work with and that they
are responsible for you. What kind of person
do you want to depend on? Would you rather
depend on someone that is willing to take on
commitments of religion and family, or would
you rather have to depend on someone that has a
noncommittal lifestyle. By signing up in the military,
you are signing an agreement that allows other
people to control your life. So if the people that
you are allowing to tell you what to do with your life
were to require that you have to live with a person
that doesn't seem to care about anything other
than themselves, it seems as if the concept of trust
and teamwork might get lost.

Those same concepts of trust and teamwork are
concepts the military can not afford to lose. Often
the military is a large part of the first contact that
the United States will have with other cultures.
Since they often have the responsibility of dealing
with people from other cultures, they need to be
perceived as stable and responsible. If people in
the military, are perceived by other countries as
allowed to have idiosyncrasies such as this, will
the other countries be enthusiastic about allowing
our military to help when they have problems.
The military image requires that the people of the
military be true to the most stringent standards
that their culture has. If you can not take pride
yourself and your own culture, how can you
understand the pride that someone else has in their
culture.

True homosexuals have decided what sex they
are and what life style they want to follow. True
homosexuals have seldom if ever been known
to rape a heterosexual. This is usually, if not always
done by those that use sex as a control feature.
These controlling personalities are really in the
closet! Because if the real truth were known,
they usually are willing to have sex with any person -
male or female of any age. These control fiends
are the type to have a physical relationship with a
single or divorce mother and also think nothing
of having a relationship with here male OR female
child. These control fiends are the ones that think
that a child (as young as six) is old enough to
decide their sexual orientation and to have a
physical relationship, at six, based on that design. They
refer to the child's parents, as people that have
a slave mentality, and that want to keep the child
from making an immediate choice. They are the
main ones that would like to see homosexuals
completely accepted since it will be harder to
question these control fiends at that time.

Some countries have been sympathetic to the
American Homosexual. Iceland has an
overwhelmingly female population - I think the
current ratio is five females births to every one male
birth, and parts of the Orient have five male
births for every female birth. This leads to same sex
dancing predominating in their clubs their clubs.
The biggest difference that these countries have,
particularly in the Orient is the family obligation
to have children. They are usually not homosexual
from choice, and they grow up knowing that they
have a commitment to their family. The American
homosexual has usually decided that they want
few, if any commitments.

Our constitution guaranties us the right to live
our lives, as we want, as long as we do not infringe
upon someone else's right. The constitution is a
commitment between this country and it's people.
The Constitution is also a commitment between
the leaders of this country and the people. This
nation was created by many different people,
and different cultures. All of these people and cultures
have a right to live in their own ways. But the
military is suppose to be reliable, trustworthy, and to

Canada Rules on Child Porn Case

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- A provincial judge ruled Friday that
Canada's law against possessing child pornography violates the freedom-of-
expression clause of the country's Charter of Rights.

``There is no evidence that demonstrates a significant increase in the
danger to children caused by pornography,'' ruled Duncan Shaw, a
justice of British Columbia's Supreme Court.

He said the section of the Criminal Code that outlaws possession of child
pornography is invalid because it violates charter provisions guaranteeing
freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression.

The case involved pornography possession charges against John Sharpe.
Police raided his home near Vancouver in April 1995, seizing compact
disks, photos and writings about child pornography.

Prosecutors argued that allowing people to possess child pornography puts
children at risk from pedophiles. But Shaw said the contention that
materials depicting illegal sex with children actually prompt people to
commit such acts was ``only assumption.''

``The intrusion into freedom of expression and the right of privacy is so
profound that it is not outweighed by the limited beneficial effects of the
prohibition,'' Shaw wrote.

The provincial attorney general, Ujjal Dosanjh, said he needed time to
study the ruling before commenting or deciding on an appeal.

However, Barry Penner, justice spokesman for the opposition Liberal Party
in the provincial legislature, said the province should appeal immediately
``to look after children ... and protect them from being abused by sexual
deviants.''

Have you ever really seen Hustler?

By Judith Reisman © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com

Until the current Flynt media-hype, few Americans had ever seen the
Flynt flagship publication in which he vents his barbaric brand of
graphic violence-and-sex. Who is the man who now "terrorizes"
Congress? I have really seen Flynt and his sadistic imagery and
fantasy having been charged by the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ)
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, to direct a two-year
content analysis of Images of Children, Crime and Violence in Playboy,
Penthouse and Hustler (1953-1984).1

Our study documented each issue of Hustler averaging 14.1 children and
pseudo-children alongside 47 images of crime and violence; 52 percent

Experts warn of new computer virus
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A new computer virus can allow documents to be e-mailed to other people without
warning, a potential security breach that should worry businesses and governments, an expert at Carnegie Mellon
University said Saturday.

 CERT information on Melissa virus 
 Microsoft patch 

The ''Melissa macro'' or W97M_Melissa virus spreads via infected e-mail and attacks computers loaded with
Microsoft's widely used Word 97 or Word 2000 programs, according to CERT - or Computer Emergency
Response Team - Carnegie Mellon's Department of Defense-funded computer security team. 
CERT first heard of the virus Friday afternoon and its members worked through the night to analyze the virus and
develop a fix, CERT manager Katherine Fithen said. 
''We're getting so many reports from across the world, that we know this is going to be a huge problem come
Monday,'' Fithen said. 
She noted that since CERT was founded 10 years ago, this is only the second time it has considered a virus
important enough to warrant a public announcement. The first, in 1994, warned of a virus that allowed computer
burglars to collect passwords. 
CERT has not determined where the Melissa virus originated. 
Fithen said she is not allowed to say whether any governmental agency has suffered a security breach as the result
of Melissa. 
Microsoft spokesman Adam Sohn said company programmers worked with CERT and manufacturers of
anti-virus programs to develop an antidote. 
If a computer user opens an infected Word-format document, the virus propagates itself by reading the user's
e-mail address book and sending an infected message to the first 50 entries, CERT said. 
The message can include the contents of any Word document that is open on the computer, Fithen said. 
Also, the virus reproduces and sends so much unwanted e-mail that the volume can overload some mail servers,
the computers that distribute e-mail. 
However, it apparently causes no direct damage to a computer's memory or programs. 
Infected documents are sent as attachments to e-mails most frequently bearing a header: ''Subject: Important
Message From'' the name of person whose computer relayed the virus. 
The body of the message says ''Here is that document you asked for ... don't show it to anyone else ;-).''

Feds issue warning as virus spreads






FBI caution prompted by 'widespread' reports among commercial, government and military e-mail systems. Expert: Come Monday 'this is going to be a major problem.'


By Rob Lemos, 
ZDNN


March 27, 1999 7:13 PM PT











 



 



 



Updated 6:00 PM PT
The "Melissa" virus continued to spread across the Internet this weekend, causing a growing number of e-mail disruptions and prompting federal law enforcement agencies to issue a special warning. 

The warning from the FBI and National Infrastructure Protection Center marked the government's first major attempt to prevent a computer disaster. 
In a statement issued Sunday, the NIPC, a special unit created to protect the nation's information assets, said it had received "widespread reports" that the virus has propagated into commercial, government and military e-mail gateways and systems.




Security experts characterized Melissa as the fastest-spreading computer virus they've ever encountered. They reported a mounting number of incidents, even as even e-mail traffic underwent its traditional weekend slowdown.

Officials of the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) at Carnegie Mellon University reported that by early Sunday evening more than 100 sites hade been hit by the virus.  "These organizations have hundreds and thousands of machines that can't get e-mail," said Jeff Carpenter, the team leader for incident response.

But that's nothing compared to what could happen on Monday, said CERT's Carpenter. "When the workforce goes back to work, this is going to be a major problem," he said.


How  Melissa works

The Melissa virus is essentially a simple Word macro, which is a script for automating tasks within Word documents.








 



Have an opinion on this story? Add your comments to the bottom of this page.


 











It spreads when a user opens up an infected Word 8 or Word 9 document -- in either Office 97 or 2000 -- and executes the macro script. In some cases, however, the virus can even spread automatically among those users who have configured their systems not to not notify them when as macro is launched.

The macro prompts Microsoft's Outlook e-mail program to send a document to the first 50 addresses in a user's address book, under the subject line "Important Message From" and then the user's name. "Here is the document that you asked for," the text inside the message reads. "Don't show anyone else ;-)."

Even people who don't use Outlook are at risk. As long as Outlook is set up to send mail, the infected documents will be sent. In addition, the default Word template -- normal.dot, which acts as the basis of every new document that the user creates -- is infected with the co

SOIL ASSOCIATION PRESS RELEASE

EMBARGOED UNTIL: 0001hrs Tuesday 2 March 1999

Government advice on genetic contamination challenged by new independent
report

Evidence that pollen from genetically modified crops can cause
contamination over considerable distances has emerged in a new report.
‘The Dispersal of Maize Pollen’ by Dr Jean Emberlin, Director of the
National Pollen Research Unit (1), was commissioned by the Soil
Association to establish hard scientific data on the risks posed to the
integrity of organically grown maize and sweetcorn from
cross-pollination by genetically modified crops.

Last summer Environment Minister, Michael Meacher, refused to order the
destruction of a crop of genetically modified (GM) maize bordering a
Soil Association registered organic farm in Devon and claimed that
“there were no grounds for halting the field trials as it will not
interfere with the sweetcorn crop being grown on a nearby farm”(2). The
Soil Association regrettably had to inform the farmer that the organic
status of his sweetcorn would have to be removed if there was any
evidence of contamination from the GM maize(3,4).

The Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment (ACRE), the
Government’s statutory advisors on the release of genetically engineered
crops into the environment, stated that “at a standard separation
distance of 200 metres between the organic sweetcorn and the GM maize
the likely cross-pollination frequency would result in no greater than 1
sweetcorn kernel in every 40,000 being a GM hybrid”(5). However, Dr Jean
Emberlin, having looked at all the research available, concluded that
“in conditions of moderate wind speeds the
rates of cross-pollination at 200 metres would be in the order of 1
kernel in 93.”

Evidence is cited in Dr Emberlin’s report that maize pollen is collected
by bees in notable amounts. In this way the pollen is transported
several miles from the crop plot in suitable weather conditions. In the
case of the organic farmer in Devon, ACRE failed even to consider
cross-pollination of the organic sweetcorn by bees, even though there
are several hives adjacent to the test plot.

ACRE also brushed aside concerns about freak weather conditions by
saying that ”this was generally taken into account with seed
certification standards and there was at least 200 metres from the
nearest GM maize to the organic farm”(6).

However the report states that: “Substantial evidence exists for long
range transport of considerable numbers of pollen grains….Maize pollen
remains viable under normal conditions for approximately 24 hours giving
potential for pollination by grains that had travelled many hundreds of
kilometres on the airflow….Overall it is clear that the maize pollen
spreads far beyond the 200 metres cited in several reports as being an
acceptable separation distance to prevent cross-pollination.”

This new report undermines confidence in the advice given to the
Government by ACRE who have so far given permission to trial GE crops at
over 500 sites around the country. At least 8 members of ACRE have
direct links with biotech research, and 6 members are involved with
companies that have been given permission by ACRE to conduct these
trials. The Soil Association believes that the apparent failure of ACRE
to give impartial advice on the likelihood of cross-pollination
threatens to remove choice from those who want to avoid GM
contamination.

Agriculture Minister, Nick Brown, has recently stated that ”The
Government is absolutely committed to making sure that those who do not
want to eat crops that have been cross-contaminated (with GMO
ingredients), or to have their crops cross-contaminated (with GMO
pollen), have their rights in this protected as well”(7).

Food Safety Minster, Jeff Rooker, has also repeated this promise, “The
Government is about in April to double the aid to persuade farmers to
convert to organic production. We’re not going to allow that public
money to be put at risk by a cross-contamination of GM crops when they
are grown.”(8)

The Soil Association is calling on the Government to honour these
pledges and provide a response to this report with the utmost urgency in
order to avoid potential cross-pollination from GE trial plots due to be
planted in 1999.

The Soil Association believes that it is not good enough for the biotech
industry to be allowed to introduce these crops under a voluntary code
of practice that fails to take cross-pollination of organic crops into
account(9).

Patrick Holden, Soil Association Director, said, “The only way that the
Government can fulfil its promise to protect organic farmers (and indeed
conventional farmers) who wish to provide a GM-free choice for consumers
is through a ban on the growing of genetically engineered maize. This
report demonstrates that farmers who are attempting to grow GM-free
crops will find it increasingly difficult to supply consumers with the
GM-free food products that they are demanding.”

Fluoride & the

During the
ultra-secret Manhattan Project, a report was commissioned to assess
the effect of fluoride on humans.

That report was classified
"secret" for reasons of "national security".

Some 50 years after United States
authorities began adding fluoride to public water supplies to reduce
cavities in children's teeth, recently discovered declassified
government documents are shedding new light on the roots of that
still-controversial public health measure, revealing a surprising
connection between the use of fluoride and the dawning of the nuclear
age.

Today, two-thirds of US public drinking water is fluoridated. Many
municipalities still resist the practice, disbelieving the
government's assurances of safety.

Since the days of World War II when the US prevailed by building
the world's first atomic bomb, the nation's public health leaders
have maintained that low doses of fluoride are safe for people and
good for children's teeth.

That safety verdict should now be re-examined in the light of
hundreds of once-secret WWII-era documents obtained by these
reporters [authors Griffiths and Bryson], including declassified
papers of the Manhattan Project-the ultra-secret US military program
that produced the atomic bomb.

Fluoride was the key chemical in atomic bomb production, according
to the documents. Massive quantities-millions of tons-were essential
for the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium for nuclear
weapons throughout the Cold War. One of the most toxic chemicals
known, fluoride emerged as the leading chemical health hazard of the
US atomic bomb program, both for workers and for nearby communities,
the documents reveal.

Other revelations include:

¥ Much of the original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low
doses was generated by A-bomb program scientists who had been
secretly ordered to provide "evidence useful in litigation" against
defence contractors for fluoride injury to citizens. The first
lawsuits against the American A-bomb program were not over radiation,
but over fluoride damage, the documents show.

¥ Human studies were required. Bomb program researchers played a
leading role in the design and implementation of the most extensive
US study of the health effects of fluoridating public drinking water,
conducted in Newburgh, New York, from 1945 to 1955. Then, in a
classified operation code-named "Program F", they secretly gathered
and analysed blood and tissue samples from Newburgh citizens with the
cooperation of New York State Health Department personnel.

¥ The original, secret version (obtained by these reporters) of a
study published by Program F scientists in the August 1948 Journal of
the American Dental Association1 shows that evidence of adverse
health effects from fluoride was censored by the US Atomic Energy
Commission (AEC)-considered the most powerful of Cold War
agencies-for reasons of "national security".

¥ The bomb program's fluoride safety studies were conducted at the
University of Rochester-site of one of the most notorious human
radiation experiments of the Cold War, in which unsuspecting hospital
patients were injected with toxic doses of radioactive plu

Title: TESTSMART PROJECT TO PROMOTE FASTER, CHEAPER, MORE HUMANE LAB TESTS





















February 24, 1999


Testsmart Project to Promote Faster, Cheaper, More Humane Lab Tests



Academic, Environmental Experts Awarded Joint Grant by Vira I. Heinz Endowment



The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie-Mellon University announced the launch of TestSmart, a project designed to find more efficient and humane methods of conducting preliminary toxicity screening tests on chemicals.  The four institutions will explore new testing methods that minimize the use of laboratory animals and produce reliable results faster and for less money than in the past.  The search for new testing methods will help to speed an initiative, announced last year, to gather basic information on the health and environmental effects of nearly 3,000 high-production volume industrial chemicals.   The TestSmart project is funded by a $320,000 grant from the Vira I. Heinz Endowment.  

Last October Vice President Al Gore announced a groundbreaking cooperative agreement among EDF, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) to test thousands of industrial chemicals that are used in the US in volumes of more than one million pounds each year.  The agreement to test came after separate studies by EDF, EPA and CMA all concluded that basic health effects information is not publicly available for most major industrial chemicals.  (More information on the high-production volume chemical testing initiative can be found online at: http://www.edf.org/pubs/NewsReleases/1998/Oct/b_cma.html.) 

The high-production volume chemicals will be tested over the next five years using screening methods as defined through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's international consensus process. Some of the test procedures now call for testing on laboratory rodents, fish and insects.  The TestSmart project will explore alternative testing and evaluation techniques.  

"The search for better testing methods comes at a time when industry, government, and the environmental community have sat down together and agreed we are operating in the dark when it comes to chemical safety," said EDF senior toxicologist Ellen Silbergeld.  "Getting basic test data is a key first step in giving the public what it is entitled to -- assurance that chemicals in our economy are not causing unknown harms to our health and environment -- and we want to see this testing done in the most efficient and most humane way possible." 

"Animal-based studies are used by virtually every regulatory agency in the world to set environmental standards designed to protect human health and the environment," said Dr. Alan M. Goldberg, director of the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing at Johns Hopkins University.  "The HPV testing initiative offers an unprecedented opportunity to accomplish three important objectives:  expand use of alternative techniques already known to be reliable; evaluate the reliability of additional emerging techniques; and identify areas where further targeted research is needed to develop new approaches.  Although the use of laboratory rodents has long played a fundamental role in the science of toxicology – and similarly in pharmacology – emerging techniques appear to offer opportunities to significantly reduce use of animals while obtaining data that are of at least equal scientific value, and are cheaper and faster."




"A key component of the initiative will involve use of Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis,"  said Dr. Herbert Rosenkranz, Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health at the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public Health.  "Using SAR, it's possible in appropriate circumstances to extrapolate from data on the health and environmental effects of classes of chemicals to structurally related agents that have not yet been tested.  SAR is well established for certain endpoints, and we'll be evaluating its application in a wider variety of contexts."

"The project will also examine how to maximize the usefulness of the information provided by the testing program," said Dr. Lester Lave, Professor of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. "By examining the predictive power of alternate protocols and their subsequent impact on society's decisions, we will assess how to get the most valuable information within the prescribed time and at the least cost."

In addition, the project team will help review proposals under the voluntary testing initiative to group similar chemicals into categories.  Selected members of the categories would be tested and results interpolated to other members.  While an important mechanism for enhancing the efficiency of testing and minimizing use of test animals, proper definitio

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: 13 Lucky Tips for Activists

1999-03-03 Thread 1lls0081

 -Caveat Lector-

The major thing in Activism is to think of the future.  What will happen?  When we go
to the stars and colonize other planets it will be a low maintenance, agricultural
society.  Think of some of Robert A. Heinlein's books example "Farmer In The Sky".  I
suspect that by having a two part
diet that we are able to assimilate new plant DNA.  Farmers, animal breeders, animal
keepers are people that are interested in having the best and healthiest animals - and
breed enough generations that they see genetic mutations faster than many other
people.  Animal cruelty or animal athletes?  Fur, cruelty or like in the time from
1950 and before when even dog and cat skins were used for fur.  I still have a
handicraft book for groups as high as the Boy Scouts that refers to dog and cat hides
being suitable for fur and skins.  Recycling.  Hunting with the hounds, the horses
called Hunters, are they overworked or Animal Athletes.  Human athletes have had
injuries too, yet like (the ice skatter) Mark Hammel enjoy their work.  So you would
say that animals can not enjoy something?

Why go against eating animals and learning about animals?  If you know how intelligent
an animal is, and that they can learn as much as a human that does not have hands or
ways to manipulate.  So how do you justify "The Powers That Be" by Anne McCaffrey and
Elizabeth Ann Scarborough has some ideas!

Who has kept it that S. America who is so rich in DNA and diversity in resorting to
raising Cattle?
They have a type of animal like a lama that is one of the best wool animals in the
world, yet the animal is being killed for meat and has had a hard time getting
started.  They have natural resources
yet those resources are being supplanted by artificial plants and animals.

Still and all our major problem (for now) is the monopolies and off shore banking,
that allow this to happen.

Global Resistance Mounts Against Monsanto & Genetic Engineering

Quotes of the month:

"Everybody over here hates us."

Dan Verakis, Monsanto PR spokesman in the U.K., quoted in the London
Observer 2/21/99.

"Tony,  Don't Swallow Bill's Seed."

Greenpeace banner on their delivery truck Feb. 18 in London as they dumped
four tons of US GE-tainted soybeans on the front steps of #10 Downing
Street, Prime Minister Tony Blair's official residence.
__

In what the Financial Times of London characterized on Feb. 23 as a "public
relations disaster for transgenic foods," global resistance to Monsanto and
genetic engineering (GE) has sharply intensified over the past 60 days. As
reported previously in Food Bytes (#13 & #15 ), the international anti-GE
movement is rapidly developing into a serious threat to Monsanto and other
biotechnology titans.

The growing crisis over gene-foods has reached the point where financial
analysts are warning the Clinton administration that the European Union
will not back off on efforts to label  untested GE foods. Many believe this
controversy could spawn a major trade war within the World Trade
Organization (WTO). In Britain commentators have similarly warned Prime
Minister Tony Blair that his cozy relationship with Bill Clinton and Bill's
favorite corporation, Monsanto, could do severe damage to Blair.

It has been a rough last several months for Monsanto and the ag biotech
special interests. Here is a chronological blow by blow account:

* The Fall/Winter 1998 issue of the Union of Concerned Scientists' Gene
Exchange  warns of recent US research showing that
genetically engineered Bt crops are building up Bt toxins in the soil,
thereby damaging  the soil food web and harming beneficial insects.

* On December 15, 1998 attorneys from the Center for Food Safety, on behalf
of a broad coalition, filed a legal petition in Washington, D.C. against
the FDA to have rBGH taken off the market. The legal action received major
attention from the mass media, including a widely-viewed segment on ABC TV
national news. The CFS petition cites mounting evidence that the original
testing of rBGH was flawed. In 1990 the FDA said BGH was "safe for human
consumption." Part of its findings were based on 90-day rat feeding studies
in which they reported "no toxicologically significant changes..." Based
largely on this conclusion, FDA did not require human toxicological tests
usually required for a veterinary drug. However in April of 1998,
researchers from Health Canada, the Canadian equivalent to FDA, issued a
report which contradicted FDA's findings. Canadian researchers found
studies showing that rats were absorbing rBGH after all. In fact, between
20 and 30 percent of the rats were developing distinct immunological
reactions. Additionally, cysts formed in the thyroid of some male  rats and
infiltrated the prostate--both warning signs for potential cancer hazards.

"These are toxicologically significant changes in the rats and they should
have triggered a full human health review, including assessment of
potential carcinogenic and immunological effects," said Dr. Michael Hansen,
an expert on rBGH and a scientist with the Consumer Policy Institute, a
division of Consumers Union. According to CFS attorneys it is "unclear" how
or why these results were overlooked in the original FDA review of rBGH.
Monsanto says it submitted the studies to the FDA, while the agency says it
only saw summaries of the rat tests.

"We're going to go to the courts and say--you were lied to," said Andrew
Kimbrell, lead counsel for the CFS. "Essentially it was fraud by the agency
and fraud by Monsanto in telling the court that there were no human health
effects possible from consuming these products made with rBGH treated
milk." The EU has already banned rBGH, but this policy comes up for review
later this year. The US government has warned that they will file for
damages under the WTO if the EU continues to ban Monsanto's rBGH.

* Australian trade authorities announced on Jan. 8, the largest shipment of
canola (rapeseed) ever exported from Australia. The $16.5 million dollar
shipment is bound for oilseed crushing plants in Europe. According to
Graham Lawrence, managing director of the New South Wales Grains Board,
"Europe has moved to become a major buyer this year because Australia is
the only country to guarantee non-genetic modified canola." Canada has lost
$300-400 million in canola sales to Europe over the last ye

  NEWS

" Green' Army Bullets to Get the Lead Out." USA Today, 23
February 99, 3A.
 The Army will release an environmentally friendly "green
 bullet", made without lead, this spring.  By 2003, all
 bullets will be lead-free.  Between 300 and 400 million
 rounds of small-caliber ammunition are used each year by the
 armed forces.  Program manager, Wade Bunting, of the
 Armament Research Development and Engineering Center says
  "From an environmental standpoint, it's really important.
 We're going to be able to use this material and not be
 concerned with contaminating the soil or the ground water."'

"Suit Over Garbage Stations [Digest]." New York Times, 24
February 99, A18.
 Angry that the once-prohibited clustering of garbage
 transfer stations in New York is now permitted, groups
 representing the environment, community and the Borough of
 Brooklyn have filed suit to change the rules.  More than
 half of New York's 85 stations are located in Brooklyn's Red
 Hook, Greenpoint and Williamsburg subdivisions as well as
 the South Bronx.  Odors, noise, trucks and other irritants
 are among the complaints expressed by residents of these
 neighborhoods.

 EDITORIAL & COMMENTARY

"EPA's Wasteful Grants [Commentary]."  Washington Times, 24
February 99, A15.
 Deroy Murkock, an MSNBC columnist and a senior fellow with
 the Atlas Economic Research Foundation in Fairfax, [Va.],
 provides multiple examples from the Citizens Against
 Government Waste (CAGW) recently-released report "Phoney
 Philanthropy" by David E. Williams and Elizabeth L. Wright
 who explored how the EPA gave over $236 million to 839
 non-profit groups in 1995 and 1996.  He questions the
 appropriateness of some of the recipients, concluding: "The
 GOP Congress should hold oversight hearings on these and
 scores of other fishy EPA grants that CAGW has exposed.
 Then, with this nonsense clearly on the record, it can begin
 to slash EPA's budget accordingly."

"Pollution Standards For Diesel Vehicles [Letters to the
Editor]." New York Times, 24 February 99, A19.
 This letter is in disagreement with the EPA's anticipated
 approval of the use of economical diesel fuel, despite the
 public health risk from its cancer-linked product, soot.
 The author urges EPA to follow California's lead in the
 agency's development of new vehicle standards by setting
 strict emission standards and using alternative
 technologies, such as fuel-cell vehicles, that are both
 economical and nonthreatening.

 ACROSS THE USA, from USA Today

"Bridgeville, Delaware [Across the USA]." USA Today, 23 February
99, 10A.
 A Carbon monoxide leak at the Interactive Marketing Services
 packaging plant sent six women to Nanticoke Memorial
 Hospital where they were treated and released.

  BOOK REVIEWS

"Science Reporting Under a Microscope [Bookshelf]." Wall Street
Journal, 24 February 99, A16.
 In his new book, "Environmental Cancer - A Political
 Disease?", authors S. Robert Lichter and Stanley Rothman
 compare and contrast the views of scientific experts,
 environmental activists and the media regarding the risks of
 getting cancer from man-made chemicals and naturally
 occurring chemicals in our environment.  Lichter and Rothman
 demonstrate that the misinterpretation of hard science by
 activists and the media frequently results in scary reports
 that generate skepticism among readers.  Man-made pesticides
 are shown in numerous studies to cause less than 5% of
 cancers, yet articles about pesticide exposure can be
 "scare-mongering".  The authors suggest that scientific
 findings may be skewed in stories based on the reporter's
 choice of stories, words and the credibility of the
 "experts" quoted.  The book contains "many fascinating
 charts and tables".

"Former U.N. Arms Inspector Is Criticized by State Dept." New
York Times, 24 February 99, A6.
 Former U.N. Arms Inspector, Scott Ritter, is being
 criticized by the State Department for misrepresenting the
 CIA's involvement in Iraqi arms inspections by contending in
 his book "Endgame", due this spring, that the agency helped
 plan inspections.  In his book, Mr. Ritter says that CIA
 employees were placed on teams that inspected Iraq for
 chemical and biological weapons.  Mr. Ritter's lawyer,
 Matthew L. Lifflander, retorts that there is nothing in the
 book that is not already public knowledge.  The Pentagon did
 not request that Mr. Ritte

 -Caveat Lector-

Up till now it has been hard to collect tithe from the commoners.  To be able to
rule whole kingdoms.  With Computers, automation of machinery and the current
databases that is no longer true.  Why do you need servants to work the land IF
anything you want can be cloned or replicated?

Up till now the United Countries of America - Opps -> The United States of
America had governors and representatives that had the best interests of their
individual states in mind.  This is no longer true and the companies that are
developing these databases and the states that are selling their information are
allowing everything to be run from a central point.  The database companies see
a future in keeping track of everyone, they do not realize that this is not
intended to be like China or any country with a lot of people.  Especially since
our current leaders can not take it with them - so with cloning and possibly
replicating - do they think they do not want to go.  Wonder how long they figure
on being around, 100, 200, 300 years?  And we are thinking about AARP being the
largest special interest group, already!

This leaves a problem for them.  If there are already to many people, what are
they going to do with us?

United States Code
TITLE 50 - WAR AND NATIONAL DEFENSE
CHAPTER 32 - CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL
WARFARE PROGRAM
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/50/1520.html
Do you think they want to have all these bodies decomposing at the same time?
We might as well bury ourselves while we are at it.

So many people are thinking in terms of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" or
George Orwell's "1984" - still and all, why do they (high and mighty government
leaders) need us for more pollution.  Hey, they have finally seen a reason for
taking care of the world, since they could be around for quite a while.  It is
either that they intend on being on Earth for a long time or if they own all the
land then they can control the Earth from outer space.  This sounds like some
kind of Science Fiction theme, right?  I have been looking for (not Argenmentum)
but things that imply a break up of powers and a re-newal of the Earth's
diversity.

Then again there may not be a Intergalactic Stock market.  We might just be
representatives of the different cultures that make up the Intergalactic Scene.
Could be they are using us for their own census or statistics.  How?  How long
will it take us to get it right?  Or alternatively, what pretty beads will
Clinton(s) or Bush(s) take for their share of the Earth.

With Clinton(s) or Bush(s) - way of doing things, kinda like the excommunicated
Jew called Kissinger, who thinks that you need to have a war occasionally.  With
that way of thinking, they would sell their part of the Earth for what amounts
to a pretty wheel.

Well, They keep on re-inventing the wheel, they must think that the original
wasn't made the right way.  Or else they are afraid of losing control if we were
allowed to have something else.

So what will they do?  Cut the population and re-write history.  But if we can
not see reality then how are we to figure out when we are being sold snake oil.
We better do something because that group does not seem to have enough brains
that are usable that would allow them to keep from being sold snake oil.

aka The Pied Piper

Do not think in terms of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" or George Orwell's
"1984", those are already in use in a certain format, and also being held over
our heads so we do not look any farther.  Where we need to look is for stories
like Noah's flood!

Neuropathy is the destruction of nerve cells resulting in paresis or
paralysis while demylenation is the destruction of the outer coat of the
nerve cell resulting in essentially the same thing.  Multiple scerosis is
charactorized the demylenation phenomenon.  Usually anti-mylin antibodies

[CTRL] Could Noah's Flood Return (2) - The Future Could Be Now

1999-03-02 Thread 1lls0081

 -Caveat Lector-

 Wonder about some passages - could Noah's flood return - symbolically?   Think
of how many passages of the Bible and some other religious books refer to
Monopolies and what happen when they are formed.
Why have they not happened before now?  With computers and databases some see a
way that they can have complete control.
Governmental parts:
Lincoln unpegged the Constitution - and it has never been put back in the
same form.
Kennedy killed so Nixon would take office and unpeg us from the Gold
Standard Clinton unpegging us from Morals.

"The Future - Could Be Now"
  (c) 23 Jan 99 by Laura Lee Lanning*Shipton
 Under Construction and Constant De-Spell-Bugging

Check the link between developmental fats and oils, under
2) The Impact of Outside and Chemical Influences on the Body and Brain
 Canola Healthy? - http://www.1999.com/canola/(New 17 Nov 98)
Oils Vegetable and Animal - Health Risks from Processed Foods and Trans.
Fats:  An interview with Mary
Enig,   Ph.D. -
http://www.healthy.net/library/articles/passwater/enig01.htm(New 17 Nov 98)
realize that in The children in the USA (seem to) get most of their fats from
milk.
also check out antibiotics under #7 Health.

(new 23 Jan 99)What does this mean?  Look at what oils are at your market.
Check the labels on
your favorite foods.  Would you believe that a favorite crinkle cut, frozen
potato has Canola oil as a
ingredient?  Now knowing that fats are crucial for the body and that even the
brain has a large
percentage of fat in it, what would happen, if you were to take out all the fat
that the body is capable
of utilizing, or at least utilizing easily?  Here in the USA (it seems that) our
primary source of fat for
developing children is milk.  Since the milk has BGH which means the cattle have
required more
antibiotics - those could well be in the milk too.

What could this mean?  Someone saying that we can not attack BGH because
parents might take
their children off of milk and - IF you do that you need to have information
about the detrimental
ways that oils and fats are processed.  Just look at cottonseed oil, or even
soybean oil which is often
processed with solvents.  Where could that lead to - the farmer!  Who is trying
to own the seed for cotton, soy, and many other things?  Monsanto.  Yet,
consider what this might lead
to IF this continues at the current rate.  Will anyone trust naturally grown
food or meat?  Would we
be talked into cloning all our meat?  Cloning all our food?  Take a look at all
the things that are
already on my page, I have many more to add, I am hearing of more daily and many
more could be
under authorization - even at this date.  Yet, would they keep all these items
out of the cloned food
and meat or just find more to add.  Recently there was a go ahead to spray crops
with MSG.  I do
not know if it was implemented but would this mean that only food sprayed with
MSG would be
appealing to children?  MSG is a excitotoxin, so would the children basically go
into withdraw if they
do not get it?

Also IF we are ever able to go from cloning to replicating.  Imagine who would
control the
(cloned?) replicator material?  The Pharmaceutical companies?  What of off shore
banks, one Euro
currency, maybe one American currency?  Could this lead to a World Monopoly?
Would the
World Bank eventually end up being the only bank?  I say Viva La Difference!
Currency seems to
be converted easily enough when you buy on line.  Could it be that the
technology for replication is
already in place?  Who would know what patents are in the patent office, or what
inventions are
already being used by the Military - that will soon trickle down to the public?
Who would know?
Would people in the government know? Who would have control, Cattle Futures
anyone?  Or
should I say grain futures?  Could be there might even be a new one - anyone for
futures on "Human
Life?"

Many of these things seem to be happening or continuing under the Clinton
administration, yet
would I look to Bill Clinton?  He has not been the one that has done the
research in that family!
Who would I look at, why at Hillary of course.  If the Cliftons know that this
will happen soon or
could be in the future - could you imagine what it would be like with all these
chemicals out on the
market?Mainly people sick or dying, a data base of all purchases that you
have received through
the replicate, what chemicals were add.  Recently a group of people died from
artificial blood, of
course they volunteered for the experiment?  No, they did not.  This is the type
of bills that are
passing or that are allowed to continue.

If there were an Intergalactic Stock market what would make the Earth a
commodity?  Pretty stones (Diamonds), Gold?  These items have been proved to be
somewhat common in the

Govermental parts:
Lincoln unpegged the Constitution - and it has never been put back in the
same form.
Kennedy killed so Nixon would take office and unpeg us from the Gold
Standard Clinton unpegging us from Morals.


I am putting this togeather as a data base.  The bottom line is that we
have
heard that something is dangerous
or causes cancer one week and then hear that it is safe the next week.  The
reasearch saying that many things
are not dangerous is coming from the very companies that have a vested
intrested
or that are producing that
product.  Example:  The FDA (currently) uses research data from Monsanto,
the
very company that makes
Aspartame - which has been proved to be detrimental to health.  Because of
this
lawsuits are hard to get going, and when you follow the trail of money
farther
and see that Monsanto has paid some of our top officials you realize that
they
are (probally) taking other bribes.

This page along with my web page at

I personally am not interested in something that even Mimics diseases
such as this post describes!  Please remember that much of the research
that is out there (and some cite - FDA included) saying that Aspartame
is
NOT hazardous comes from the very company that makes Aspartame.

This is from the Merck Manual:

Polyneuropathy usually begins with sensory abnormalities in the lower
extremities.  Tingling, numbness and pain.  Pain is often worse at
night and with touch or change in temperature.

The autonomic nervous system may also be involved and cause changes in
vasculautre, dry, pale skin or red, sweaty skin.  Ridged nails and
osteoporisis can result.

It can result from nutritional deficiency, environmental factors,
diabetes, alcoholism, hypothyroidism.  They suggest checking renal
function with creatinine levels, liver function, and checking for
porphyria.

Demylenation is the loss of the myelin sheath around a nerve.  This
sheath is made up of fat and necessary for nerve function.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome is the most common form of demyelinating
polyneuropathy.  The cause is unknown, but it appears that it is
autoimmune, where the body's immune system attacks itself.  It
progresses more rapidly than most neuropathies. The symptoms are that
weakness in the legs, then the arms, is more prominent than the sensory
symptoms.  The maximum degree of weakness is reached in 2-3 weeks.
Steroids worsen the prognosis and something called plasmapheresis is
useful and helps recovery.  Patients need to be monitored for
respiratory distress.  They need to take in lots of fluids and should
have their electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium) monitored as well.Most
patients recover, but about 30% still have residual weakness after 3
years.  10% relapse.  5% die.

Organophosphate poisoning and botulism should be ruled out, since they
can be confused with GBS.

Hope this helps,

PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPs)

Health Professionals Call for DDT Phase-out, Increased Attention to Malaria

At a conference in Nairobi, Kenya on January 24, more than 30 physicians
and health professionals from Africa and elsewhere endorsed a statement
calling on governments to phase out the use of the pesticide DDT in malaria
control, while taking new measures to combat the disease in other ways. DDT
is extremely persistent, bioaccumulates in food chains and human breast
milk, and is a probably human carcinogen and suspected endocrine disruptor.
Because of its potential environmental and public health effects, as well
as problems of vector resistance in some areas, the World Health
Organization has begun moving away from its long-time endorsement of DDT in
public health campaigns.

Among the recommendations of the meeting were:

*That all governments commit to the phase-out and eventual elimination
of DDT production and use;

*That malaria risk management be maintained and improved through the
development and use of safe, sustainable alternative means of vector
control;

*That increased spending on malaria drug research, treatment, and
public health surveillance be committed during the DDT phaseout to ensure
that the health of people in malaria-endemic zones is not compromised.


 During a week of talks in Nairobi, negotiators made slow progress in
drafting a global treaty to eliminate the use, production, and emission of
certain persistent organic pollutants, or POPs. Delegates from more than
100 countries agreed to a first draft text of a treaty that would initially
restrict or eliminate twelve POPs, including pesticides, industrial
chemicals, and unintended by-products. They discussed possible mechanisms
for transferring technical and financial resources to developing countries,
where many POPs pesticides are still commonly used

What remains unclear, however, is whether the governments are truly
committed to total elimination of these substances, which now contaminate
every living thing on earth and pose a serious threat to human health and
the environment worldwide.
At this second of five expected negotiating sessions, some governments
seemed to indicate a desire to limit action to merely controlling POPs use
and release. For example, the U.S. proposed changing the "prohibit
production and use" language to "take measures to prohibit." It was
disappointing to see the U.S. take the lead in proposing weakening
language. As part of the International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN) of
non-governmental organizations participating in the negotiations, PSR urged
negotiators not to lose sight of the long-term goal of POPs elimination.
"The U.S. is not exerting the leadership needed to get rid of these harmful
chemicals once and for all," said PSR environment director Sharon Newsome.
"The goal of the treaty must be POPs elimination. The U.S. should lead the
way in this worldwide effort to protect the public health."

POPS ALERT! The U.S. EPA has published its long-awaited "Multimedia
Strategy for Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Pollutants"
(http://www.epa.gov/pbt/pbtstrat.htm). The strategy takes EPA incrementally
in the right direction by focusing on all pollutant sources -- air, water,
and land; and it is an important step in integrating EPA programs that have
been fragmented and ineffective.  As an effort to implement zero discharge
and virtual elimination, it is worse than timid; it is actually a retreat.
The strategy abandons the goal of eliminating persistent toxic substances
in the Great Lakes and other watersheds, and fails to propose the most
effective policy tools  bans and phase-outs of chemicals needed to achieve
that goal.

The EPA is accepting public comments on its proposed strategy until
February 16.  Please write to EPA Administrator Carol Browner before this
date and urge her to develop and implement a strong PBT strategy that
includes a zero discharge goal that ends the release o

FDA Blamed for Blood Export

Canadians Lobby U.S. for Contamination Compensation





By Pete Yost
The Associated Press
W A S H I N G T O N,   Feb. 25
—  Already in court in Canada, hemophiliacs who are victims of AIDS and hepatitis are taking their campaign for compensation to the United States.


They say the U.S. government knew about infected blood plasma from state prison inmates yet failed to stop its export.


“If I had asked questions 15 years ago, lives could have been saved,” said Michael Galster, a former medical worker at a now-defunct Arkansas company which collected plasma from a state prison in Grady, Ark.


The plasma was sold in Canada and is suspected of having caused widespread disease among hemophiliacs who need the blood-clotting characteristics of the blood product.

Why Was It Allowed Out?

The Food and Drug Administration decided the plasma was “not fit for the United States,” said hemophiliac Michael McCarthy. “It’s unbelievable that they allowed it to be exported.”


McCarthy is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the Canadian government for failing to safeguard that nation’s blood supply.


At a news conference, the Canadians said they plan to sue the FDA and the states of Arkansas and Louisiana, which allowed private companies to take blood plasma from prison inmates in the late 1970s and early 1980s.


They said they plan to question President Clinton in connection with the lawsuit about what he knew of the prison plasma program when he was Arkansas’ governor.

FDA Told of Infection Immediately

According to a report prepared for the Canadian government, the Arkansas company, Health Management Associates, promptly told the FDA about blood samples that had been collected from five Arkansas inmates who had previously tested positive for hepatitis.


The FDA informed the Canadian government, because some of the plasma from the company had been exported to Canada, and the company voluntarily kept off the market the plasma it still had.


FDA spokesman Lawrence Bachorik said the agency does not comment on pending or potential litigation.


The 1983 incident at the prison in Grady became an important part of the study prepared for the Canadian government on how hemophiliacs in Canada might have contracted hepatitis C.


Regarding Clinton, “there’s no credible suggestion of any involvement by the president when he was governor,” said White House spokesman Jim Kennedy.


“Any issues relating to how the state of Arkansas dealt with this matter should be referred to the relevant agencies. Any suggestion of any possible future legal actions involving the president are at this point hypothetical, and unless and until legal action is taken we’re not going to comment on hypothetical legal actions.”

 -Caveat Lector-

Considering that some believe that there is a surplus of people on the earth and
it "seems" that they are tying up the patent office to keep new inventions off
the market that might help us with recycling and ect.  I have a question to ask!

If there were a galactic stock market - what would we trade?  Why would stock in
the earth be worth while?  Diamonds and gold are universal items.  The only
unique item the earth has is it's diversity of plants, animals, thoughts,
cultures, people.

There are some that are attempting global control, global monopolies.  They want
to control our food supply by taking away our diversity of plants, to control
people by genocide.  Could it be that in actual fact some of these technologies
can be done without all the apparatus that they currently use, that they were
done before?  That stock in Planet Earth went to an all time low before and so
someone decided to start the experiment from the beginning?  That they got rid
of people like Bush, Clinton, Gore - so on and reseeded the Earth?  It is not
the Apocalypse the we may be worrying about.

When a companies stock hits a all time low it is capable of being sold at a
cheep price.  What if the next people to buy into Earth decide to use it as a
natural food supply?  Cloning or Replicating has to be common, so how much is
natural food worth.  Considering all the chemicals, ect in the enviroment that
retard brain development - they will not have to worry about eating a thinking
being.

Or they might just clean up the enviroment - that would include cleaning up the
way of thinking, this current mind set.

 Will be continuing this line of thought, after finals!

most powerful institution of our time. Once a week, it reports and
comments critically on corporate actions, plans, abuses and trends.
Written with a sharp edge and occasional irreverence, Focus on the
Corporation covers:

* The double standards which excuse corporations for behavior (e.g.,
causing injury, accepting welfare) widely considered criminal or shameful
when done by individuals;
* Globalization and corporate power;
* Trends in corporate economic blackmail, political influence and
workplace organization;
* Industry-wide efforts to escape regulation, silence critics, employ new
technologies or consolidate business among a few companies;
* Specific, extreme examples of corporate abuses: destruction of
communities, trampling of democracy, poisoning of air and water;
* Issues, such as tort reform, of across-the-board interest to business;
and
* The corporatization of our culture.

[CTRL] Flag Amendment Returns - Veterans Needed!

1999-02-24 Thread 1lls0081

 -Caveat Lector-

1. So-called Flag "Desecration" Amendment
2. Calling all Veterans!


1.   A so-called flag desecration amendment is expected to be introduced in
the House of Representatives tomorrow, signaling the start of latest round
in the battle to preserve our First Amendment right to freedom of speech.

Representatives Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) and John Murtha (D-PA) have
announced they will sponsor the proposed constitutional amendment, and
supporters are claiming that 236 other Representatives have pledged to
co-sponsor. Two similar measures have previously passed in the House.

If enacted, this amendment would do irreparable harm to the First Amendment
by putting in place the only constitutional exception to freedom of speech
in our nation's history. If the bill passes the House and the Senate, 38
states would have to ratify the amendment for it to become part of the
Constitution.

TAKE ACTION TODAY by sending a free fax to your members of Congress from
the ACLU web site at:

http://www.aclu.org/action/flag106.html

2. Demonstrating that veterans do not speak with one voice on the flag
amendment is critical to our success.  That's why we are asking you to come
forward if you are a veteran, know of a veteran or have a familial
relationship with a veteran and oppose this proposed amendment.

If you fit any of these categories, please contact the ACLU Washington's
office via e-mail us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or by calling 202-675-2310.
Providing us with your name, address, e-mail address (if you have one) and
a brief description of your military service will help us to expand our
growing network of veterans defending the Bill of Rights!

You can find the voices of veterans opposed to the flag "desecration"
amendment at the ACLU website:

"Planned Parenthood Gets Anthrax Threat." New York Times, 23
February 99, A14.
 An FBI spokeswoman says that 24 occupants of a Planned
 Parenthood clinic in Kansas City, Montana were quarantined
 with no injuries today after the clinic received a letter
 containing a powdery substance the sender claimed was
 anthrax.  The substance will be tested.  A similar threat
 was received by workers at a Planned Parenthood clinic in
 Newark, Delaware today.  Last week, at least 14 letters of
 this kind were received by abortion clinics and Planned
 Parenthood centers across the nation.  The letters were
 post-marked Lexington, Ky. Tests revealed all to be hoaxes.

"PCB's in Hudson Striped Bass at Safe Levels, State Says." New
York Times, 23 February 99, A18.
 Safe-to-eat PCB levels in striped bass of the lower Hudson
 River have been found for the first time in twenty years by
 New York environmental scientists with the Environmental
 Conservation Department.  The lifting of a 23-year-old ban
 on commercial fishing may be considered by state officials.
 PCB's were legally released by General Electric factories
 until the 1977 banning.  Clean-up is expected to continue
 despite improving conditions.

"Biotechnology Treaty Stalls as U.S. and Developing Nations
Quarrel." New York Times, 23 February 99, A9.
 Talks between the U.S. and developing countries regarding
 the drafting of the Biosafety Protocol, a global
 biotechnology safety treaty that would regulate the shipment
 of genetically altered organisms between countries, are at a
 standstill over disagreements, one of which concerns whether
 exporters should receive permission from importing nations
 for shipments of agricultural commodities like genetically
 altered soy beans or wheat.  The U.S. argues that such food
 commodities need not be covered because they won't upset the
 importing country's ecological balance by introducing new
 genes to present species, the prevention of which is the
 objective of the treaty.  Developing countries argue that
 these commodities contain seeds that could escape into the
 environment.  Pharmaceuticals, organisms used in scientific
 research and products made from genetically altered
 organisms are exempted from the draft as well, raising
 criticism from developing countries.  Negotiations will end
 Tuesday.

"Smugglers' Sea Marker May Imperil Whales [Regional Briefing:
The Americas]."  Washington Times, 23 February 99, A12.
 The environmental Group of 100 has asked the Mexican
 government to investigate whether a cyanide-based chemical
 known as Natural Killer-19 which is used to make fluorescent
 marks in the water to mark drug shipment points for drug
 smuggler ships and planes, is responsible for the deaths of
 seven gray whales along the coasts of Sinaloa, Sonora, and
 Baja California Sur states.

"Refuse, Lack of Jobs Sully Cape Breton.  Economic Hopes Focus on
Cleanup."  Washington Times, 23 February 99, A12.
 A profile of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, which federal,
 provincial, and local officials have declared as "Canada's
 worst hazardous waste site."  Little attention was paid to
 the contamination from the island's steel and coal
 industries until the 1980s, when toxins were found in local
 lobsters.  Joint Action Group, the cleanup committee,

 The government is being sued by two generic-drug industry
 groups, the National Pharmaceutical Alliance and the Generic
 Pharmaceutical Industry Association, who argue that the FDA

"Bombs-to-Plowshares Program Criticized." New York Times, 22
February 99, A8.
 The GAO's study of two Energy Department programs reveals
 that American aid may have been supporting Russian
 scientists still working on projects related to nuclear,
 biological and chemical weapons.  The Energy Departments
 programs were established to employ former Soviet weapons
 scientists in peaceful, profitable work.  One of the

"Everglades Restoration Plan Does Too Little, Experts Say." New
York Times, 22 February 99, A1, A15.
 Nearing draft completion, the Federal-state Everglades plan,
 designed to restore a natural water flow to the Everglades
 and re-establish a healthy ecosystem, is being questioned by
 ecologists who say that the project would leave the South
 Florida peninsula too dependent on a system of
 compartmentalizing levees, canals, pumps and reservoirs etc.
 rather than known-to-work natural processes for water
 distribution.  In a letter to Interior Secretary Bruce
 Babbitt, ecologists and other scientists asked that the
 plan, due in July, be submitted for scientific review.  The
 establishment of a panel to continuously evaluate the
 restoration project over the next few decades is expected.
 Water that is currently being artificially pumped into the
 Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean would be partly
 rechanneled under the plan and released as needed in the
 Everglades.

"Tainted Fruit Suspected In Florida Typhoid Cases [National News
Briefs]." New York Times, 22 February 99, A15.
 The FDA has warned consumers not to eat the El Sembrador
 brand of a tropical fruit called mamey or frozen juices made
 from mamey.  The fruit is showing a strong link to typhoid
 fever hospitalizations that have occurred since mid-December,
 primarily in Hispanic communities in South
 Florida.  El Sembrador's mamey, from Guatemala, was found in
 the home freezers of the victims or at restaurants where
 some ate the fruit.

"Waste Management Stirs an Analysts' Food Fight." Wall Street
Journal, 22 February 99, B5A.
 Stock market analysts are debating whether Waste Management,
 Inc. is raising prices in the New York City market.  The
 industry giant is cited for proposing a 40% price raise for
 garbage sent from New York City to its Virginia and
 Pennsylvania landfills.  The increase is expected to impact
 third-party disposers that are not under contract who use
 WMI landfills.  There hasn't been any input from WMI to
 douse the debate.

 Ending with a promise to warn one another in advance about
 ballistic-missile tests, the prime ministers of India and
 Pakistan closed their summit meeting.  Both countries,
 capable of launching nuclear-warhead missiles, agreed to
 take action to reduce the chance of accidental nuclear war.
 Both countries have agreed to make efforts to resolve

 Jonathan H. Adler, senior director of environmental policy
 at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the author of
 "Environmentalism at the Crossroads," criticizes the
 Clinton-Gore Administration's new multibillion-dollar
 environmental agenda, which includes a $700 million subsidy
 for EPA-approved bonds for local environmental projects.  He

February 99, A12.  "Pesticide Levels Cited As Risk to Children.
Produce Items May Exceed EPA Guidelines."  Washington Post, 19
February 99, A2.
 A Consumer Reports analysis of toxicity levels of fresh,
 frozen and processed fruits and vegetables finds that, while
 most of the foods tested for pesticide residues fall within
 legal limits, they exceed EPA standards for young children.
 As required by the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act, EPA is
 re-examining the effects on children of commonly-used food
 pesticides.  This article provides a list of "toxicity
 scores" for foods that were tested.  In the study, domestic
 fresh peaches showed the greatest toxicity level; methyl
 parathion was the most frequently detected pesticide
 residue. To reduce pesticide intake the article recommends
 peeling produce and eating fruits and vegetables that are
 organically grown.

"Environmentalists Sue to Stop Plant Alterations."  Washington
Times, 19 February 99, A!0.
 Greenpeace International, the Center for Food Safety, and
 the International Federation of Organic Agricultural
 Movements filed a lawsuit against EPA to force the agency to
 cancel registration of all genetically engineered Bt plants,
 cease approval of any new Bt plants, and conduct an
 environmental impact assessment.  Bt, or Bacillus
 thuringiensis, is a soil bacterium that produces toxins that
 kill insects but are nontoxic to mammals.  Scientists have
 developed plants that contain a gene for Bt toxin, but many
 groups are concerned that insects will become resistant to
 Bt, which would pose a threat to organic farmers who are
 permitted to use Bt to control pests.

"EPA Is Preparing Emission Standards For Snowmobiles, All-Terrain
Vehicles." Wall Street Journal, 19 February 99, B5B.
 Emission standards governing all-terrain vehicles and
 snowmobiles are expected from the EPA by September 2000.
 EPA filed a notice Feb.8th in which they estimated that 15
 percent of all hydrocarbon emissions and 9 percent of all
 carbon-monoxide emissions are from snowmobiles and ATVs. As
 a result of the new rules, manufacturers may need to
 redesign their vehicles, replace two-stroke engines and
 increase retail prices.  Emission standards are currently
 being developed for outboard motors, Jet-Ski-type
 watercraft, forklifts, compressors, generators, lawnmowers

 U.S. District Court Judge Dale Kimball ordered the Food and
 Drug Administration to lift its ban on imports of red yeast

 regarded mevinolin as an unapproved drug because it is
 identical to Mevacor, a synthetic drug that is prescribed to
 lower cholesterol.  Pharmanex, which markets the powder
 under the name Cholestin, had challenged the ban.  The judge
 ruled that Cholestin "fits the definition of `dietary
