[CTRL] Greenpeace funding
-Caveat Lector- Busted! At http://www.greenpeace.org/Annualreport_2001/report.html Greenpeace says, No funding is received from corporations or organisations. But according to Lisette Schoone, spokeswomen for the Dutch Postcode Lottery http://www.lotteryinsider.com/lottery/postcode.htm Greenpeace gets financial support from the Dutch National Postal Lottery. See also, http://www.greenpeace.nl/watis/watis7principes.shtml So... does that mean the Dutch National Postal Lottery is neither a corporation nor an organisation? According to the official website of the Dutch National Postcode Lottery, http://www.postcodeloterij.nl/ Maar de Nationale Postcode Loterij steunt nog meer natuurbeneficiënten: bijvoorbeeld de belangrijke Nederlandse lobby-organisatie Stichting Natuur en Milieu en actiebeweging Milieudefensie. Ook de actiegerichte, internationale organisatie Greenpeace behoort al 5 jaar tot de beneficiënten, net als de Nederlandse Dierenbescherming. Roughly translated: But the national postcode lottery supports still more nature benefits: for example the important Dutch lobby-organisation Nature and Environment Foundation and Environmental Defense Fund.

In fact, two years ago the tax collecting agency began handing out reparations payments to the tune of millions, based on claims filed by taxpayers who cited a nonexistent slavery tax credit. The scam, touted by con-artists who tell unsuspecting marks they can help collect the slavery money for a fee, has resulted in $2.7 billion in claims, of which $30 million has been approved by the IRS. The racket is so widespread that a dozen current and former IRS employees have even applied for the slavery cash. An IRS computer program designed to catch the bogus slavery claims misses a full four percent, said the Washington Post, which revealed the scam's success on Saturday - just two days before the IRS's filing deadline. Most of the taxpayer funded slavery payments were for $43,209, the figure cited by Essence Magazine in 1993 as the estimated current value of 40 acres and a mule - compensation promised to some freed slaves after the Civil War. But deputy IRS inspector general Pamela Gardiner admitted that in some cases, where couples filing jointly both claimed reparations refunds, checks for $80,000 were cut. Gardiner told the Post that the mistaken payments have encouraged others who might otherwise be skeptical of the slavery tax credit to file their own claims.

[CTRL] PETA Funds Terrorists
-Caveat Lector- http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/ecoterror_support020226.html New Front on Ecoterror? Some Want to Target High-Profile Activists in Battle on Ecoterror ABC News By Dean Schabner Feb. 26 Some congressmen and industry advocates want the federal government to take a hard look at some well-known animal rights and environmental groups, and maybe shut them down as supporters of terrorism. The idea was floated earlier this month at a Congressional subcommittee hearing on ecoterrorism by Richard Berman, the executive director of a group called the Center for Consumer Freedom. Berman, whose group represents restaurant and tavern owners and advocates protecting the public's right to a full menu of dining and entertainment choices, said a number of high-profile activist groups, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, have links to groups named on the FBI's domestic terrorism list, such as the Earth Liberation Front. What he came to the hearing advocating was that the government wage war against domestic terrorism the way the war has been waged against accused terror mastermind Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network not just by going after those who carry out illegal acts, but by trying to cut off financial support for organizations identified as being terrorist. In the cases of domestic offenders, he said the federal government could crack down by revoking the tax-free status of not-for-profit organizations found to fund domestic terror groups. I'd like Congress to look at the tax-exempt status of groups like PETA, Berman told ABCNEWS.com. I don't see this being any different from George Bush being able to shut down foundations funneling money to al Qaeda. The difference in degree of activity doesn't mean anything if you're on the receiving end of it. Where Does the Money Come From? Berman was dismissed by officials at PETA and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine another group that he accused of ties to organizations that have been linked to criminal activity as a showman doing his best to earn his paycheck as a lobbyist for restaurant and tavern chains. But many members of the House Resources Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health seemed to take him more seriously. I would say there is real cause for concern, said Joshua Penry, the staff director of the subcommittee. A lot of the evidence is circumstantial, but in some cases it's deeply troubling. As one piece of evidence, Berman submitted a federal tax return showing that PETA gave $1,500 to ELF, which has taken credit and been blamed for millions of dollars in vandalism in recent years. The reality is these groups are getting their money from somewhere, Penry said. That's the question, just where are these groups getting their money? James Jarboe, the domestic terrorism chief of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division, said during testimony at the hearing that ELF and the related Animal Liberation Front have caused more than $43 million in damage in more than 600 attacks since 1996, including the firebombing of the Vail ski resort in 1998, which did $12 million in damages. The FBI calls both groups terrorist operations. These are hardened criminals, Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Scott McInnis, R-Colo., said. They are dangerous, they are well-funded, they are savvy, sophisticated and stealthy, and if their violence continues to escalate, it is only a matter of time before their parade of terror results in a lost human life. Members of ALF, ELF Elusive The two groups have managed to almost completely elude law enforcement, despite not being shy about trumpeting their successes. They issued a joint statement in January claiming responsibility for 67 illegal acts last year, including setting a fire that destroyed a $5.4 million horticulture building at the University of Washington. The fact that many Americans support protecting the environment and oppose cruelty to animals, combined with the success of ELF and ALF in avoiding any human casualties in their attacks, seems to some of the lawmakers at the hearing to have created undue sympathy for the activist groups. We must strip away the Robin Hood mystique and perceived high ground that some have given these radicals, McInnis said. It's just a matter of time before a human life is taken. The lawmakers were thwarted in their efforts to get information about ELF and its backers from a Portland, Ore., man who has acted as the group's spokesman. Craig Rosebraugh took the Fifth Amendment more than 50 times when he appeared before the subcommittee. Outside the hearing room he also refused to answer reporters' questions. FBI and Justice Department officials declined to comment on whether efforts to break up ELF and ALF have gone beyond more traditional law enforcement practices to include any attempt to cut off funding. PETA: Were Strictly Legal Berman's accusations against PETA also included a claim that the group gave money to Rodney Coronado,

I have a better solution, said the wife of former Vice President Al Gore. Let's rip it up. Mrs. Gore was the keynote speaker Saturday night at a dinner sponsored by the North Carolina Human Rights Campaign, the state chapter of the nation's largest advocacy group for gays and lesbians. Mrs. Gore told the audience of 650 that she and her husband believe that the true family values include all families - no matter what size, no matter what shape they come in. She spoke in favor of several measures that would make gays and lesbians equal to other Americans under the law, including protection under federal hate-crime law; the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act; and recognition of the parental rights of both members of same-sex couples, not just the biological mother or father. We cannot rest until Congress adopts federal hate crime legislation that includes sexual orientation. Period, she said. Her appearance carries significance in the political arena. Although Al Gore hasn't declared himself a candidate for the 2004 presidential election, he is starting to signal that he wants a rematch against President Bush, who bested him in the 2000 election. North Carolina voters, who have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1976, helped propel Bush to the presidency over Gore in the 2000 election. Bush received 56 percent of the votes cast in North Carolina vs. 43 percent for Gore. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

All people, especially those living in industrialized countries such as the U.S., must sacrifice in order to win the universal struggle against global warming.

Gosh, when Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher became so chummy in the mid-1980s, I never once heard the Soviet dictator express concern about the environment. Clearly, Mr. Gorbachev has identified environmentalism as a Trojan horse capable of resurrecting socialism on a global scale. How can I say that about Mikhail Gorbachev? Didnt he bring glasnost (freedom of speech) and perestroika (economic and political reforms) to the Soviet Union? Indeed he did. Yet, these were means to his end of trying to save Soviet Communism and, therefore, to save his absolute and unspeakable power (that brought human misery to millions). Perhaps I am being too harsh on Mr. Gorbachev? To this I simply respond, read Requiem for Marx (edited by Yuri N. Maltsev). Dr. Maltsev was a reformist member of the Institute of Economics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences until he defected in 1989 (he now is an Associate Professor of economics at Carthage College and is a senior fellow of the Ludwig von Mises Institute). In writing the introduction to this excellent book, Dr. Maltsev states: Gorbachev never learned economics in school. In all my dealings with him I had never seen even a slight flash of economic insight, or even the desire to learn more about economics. He preferred to think like a communist: everything can be done by issuing orders and demanding obedience, no matter how perverse, contrary to human nature, and brutal they may be. This certainly isnt the image painted by the United States adoring press corps. Gorbachev seems to be so nice. To this I respond with another excerpt (regarding the nice Mr. Gorbachev) from Yuri Maltsevs introduction in Requiem for Marx: What he did in the Baltic States authorizing the Soviet military to crack the skulls of innocent people in the Baltics qualified him to be included among historys litany of murderous rulers, but he was never included. Even while he was heralded in the West as a great reformer, he was also running labor camps, committing human rights violations, and sending people to prison for speech crimes.

[CTRL] Clinton helped Enron finance projects abroad
-Caveat Lector- http://washingtontimes.com/business/20020221-74571848.htm Clinton helped Enron finance projects abroad By Patrice Hill THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Clinton administration provided more than $1 billion in subsidized loans to Enron Corp. projects overseas at a time when Enron was contributing nearly $2 million to Democratic causes. Clinton officials refused to finance only one out of 20 projects proposed by the energy company between 1993 and 2000 to build power plants, natural-gas pipelines and other big-ticket energy facilities around the world, according to the Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Private Investment Corp., the agencies that provided the subsidies. In addition, the administration, which lauded Chairman Kenneth L. Lay as an exemplary corporate citizen, granted about $200 million worth of insurance against political risks for nine Enron projects in such politically volatile areas as Argentina, Venezuela and the Gaza Strip, according to documents the agencies provided to the Senate Finance Committee. These projects obviously were a tremendous benefit to Enron's operations, said Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican and ranking minority member of the committee. He noted that the Reagan and Bush administrations approved no loans for Enron between 1985 and 1992 and provided insurance for only one Enron power project in Guatemala in 1992. The Clinton administration provided three loans between 1994 and 1998 to the now-defunct Dabhol power project in India. Mr. Clinton's commerce secretary, Ron Brown, trumpeted the approval of the Dabhol loans on a trade mission to India in 1995, with Mr. Lay by his side. The trip was one of 11 Clinton trade missions provided at taxpayer expense for corporate executives from Enron and other companies. The U.S. Trade and Development Agency, which sponsored the trips, also provided $1 million in funding to study Enron energy projects in Russia, Eastern Europe and former Soviet states. As congressional committees dig for evidence to tie Enron and Mr. Lay to the Bush administration, evidence of Mr. Lay's links to the Clinton administration are ample and well-documented. Mr. Lay at times was Mr. Clinton's golf partner and slept in the Lincoln Bedroom. Other top Enron officials attended the White House's infamous coffee klatches with Mr. Clinton, according to published reports. Mr. Lay offered a seat on Enron's board of directors to Robert E. Rubin, Mr. Clinton's Treasury secretary, in 1999 just before he left government, the Associated Press reported yesterday. Mr. Rubin tried to get Treasury to intervene on behalf of Enron last fall when the company credit rating was threatened. In May 1996, Mr. Clinton lauded Mr. Lay as a good corporate citizen at a White House event because of Enron's enlightened personnel policies, including profit-sharing of Enron stock and generous health and pension benefits. Enron employees now are suing because those benefits are as worthless as the bankrupt company's stock. During the Clinton years, Enron contributed more than $1 million to the Democratic Party, including $600,000 to the Democatic National Committee, according to Federal Election Commission records. Mr. Clinton and Vice President Al Gore received contributions of $11,000 and $13,750, respectively, for their presidential campaigns. One $100,000 contribution to the DNC was provided before India gave final approval to Enron's Dabhol project in June 1996. The largest and most expensive capital project ever undertaken in India, Dabhol was of dubious economic value and never went on line. The World Bank, on reviewing the project, said it was not economically viable and inordinately benefited Enron, which was a 65 percent owner. Enron still owes $203 million on an Export-Import Bank loan for the project, which the bank says is covered by guarantees provided by five Indian banks. Congressional aides said it is not clear what the taxpayers' liability will be for that and other loans now that Enron is bankrupt. The Export-Import Bank said its loans were extended to overseas subsidiaries of Enron and not the bankrupt corporation. The overseas investment agency said its exposure is limited to paying any missed premiums on Enron's political risk insurance. Top Clinton officials lobbied personally to obtain Indian state guarantees for the Dabhol project after it encountered early problems in 1995. Thomas F. Mack McLarty, the White House chief of staff, made it a top administration priority to keep the project from failing. The Bush administration has continued efforts to salvage the project. Clinton Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary led a succession of missions to India, and Mr. Clinton's ambassador to India, Frank Wisner, was charged with keeping the project afloat. After Mr. Wisner left government in 1997, he took a seat on the board of directors of a company then controlled by

[CTRL] Environmentalist Biofraud?
-Caveat Lector- http://reason.com/rb/rb021202.shtml Environmentalist Biofraud? A new report challenges research published in the respected journal, Nature. Reason By Ronald Bailey February 12, 2002 DNA Contamination Feared, declared the Washington Post last fall. Gene-altered DNA may be 'polluting' corn, warned USA Today. Both papersas well as many other media outlets around the world--were reporting the results of a scientific study published in the prestigious journal Nature. Anti-biotech activists at Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and the Union of Concerned Scientists immediately seized on the results to press for a ban on planting and exporting genetically enhanced crops. It now appears that that study's conclusions are completely bogus. Last fall, Ignacio Chapela and David Quist, two researchers from the University of California, claimed that they had tested a number of samples of local creole corn taken from farms located in remote areas of Oaxaca, Mexico. They claimed that by using a very sensitive genetic test called inverse polymerase chain reaction (IPCR), they had found the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV35S) promoter in the local varieties of corn. (Such local, noncommercial varieties are sometimes known as landraces.) CaMV35S is regularly incorporated in many genetically enhanced crops as a way to get the genes added by biotechnologists (transgenes), such as those for insect resistance, to express themselves. The Berkeley researchers suggested that perhaps native Mexican corn varieties had by chance crossbred with genetically enhanced varieties brought in from the United States, despite a Mexican government ban since 1998 on planting bioengineered corn. Perhaps some Mexican farmers had used corn imported for feed as seed instead, they speculated. The probability is high that diversity is going to be crowded out by these genetic bullies, asserted Chapela in USA Today. Although Ignacio Chapela is an assistant professor of microbiology at Berkeley, he is not exactly the model of a dispassionate scientist. For example, in 1999 Chapela signed the World Scientists' Statement Calling for a Moratorium on GM Crops and Ban on Patents, organized by a variety of anti-biotech activist groups. The Statement called for a five-year ban on planting all genetically enhanced crops and a permanent ban on patenting crops, cell lines, and genes. Chapela is also a board member of the activist group Pesticide Action Network of North America, which is also campaigning against plant biotechnology. In other words, Chapela is a well-known anti-biotech activist. Two questions arise from the Nature study: Is it true? And does it matter? Earlier this year, the Center for the Improvement of Maize and Wheat (CIMMYT) in Mexico (the research center that launched the Green Revolution) checked its extensive collections of corn and could find no evidence that local varieties and bioengineered varieties had crossbred. At the time CIMMYT released the results of its analysis, its researchers had asked Chapela for samples of his materials so that they could check them, but he had not sent them. Now a comprehensive review prepared for the editors of the journal Transgenic Research, which will be published in its February 2002 issue, finds that no credible scientific evidence is presented in the [Chapela and Quist] paper to support claims made by the authors that gene flow between transgenic maize and traditional maize landraces has taken place. The review finds, It is most likely that the report by Quist and Chapela is a testimony to technical failure and artifacts which are common with PCR and IPCR. Typically IPCR false positives occur because samples can be easily contaminated with the material being tested for. Furthermore, according to the review, most frustrating is that Chapela and Quist did not use other, more reliable, techniques to determine the presence of the transgenes. The Transgenic Review article also soundly condemns Nature for rushing to publish this flawed study. What is very surprising, however, is that a manuscript with so many fundamental flaws was published in a scientific journal that normally has very stringent criteria for accepting manuscripts for publication .It is very disappointing that the editors of Nature did not insist on a level of scientific evidence that should have been easily accessible if the interpretations were true. Consequently, no evidence is presented to justify any of the conclusions presented in the paper. So are genetically enhanced varieties genetic bullies that threaten corn biodiversity as Chapela claims? Not at all. There is no scientific basis for believing that out-crossing from biotech crops could endanger maize biodiversity, said Luis Herrera-Estrella in a statement issued in December. Herrera-Estrella is a noted plant scientist and director of the Center for Research and Advanced Studies in Irapuato, Mexico. Gene flow between commercial and native
[CTRL] Earth Liberation Front and Arsonist Support Committees Funded By PETA
-Caveat Lector- Earth Liberation Front and Arsonist Support Committees Funded By PETA Washington, DC In the wake of this weeks congressional hearings on eco-terrorism, new evidence shows a close relationship between the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the violent Earth Liberation Front (ELF). The FBI has labeled ELF as the largest and most active U.S.-based terrorist group. Richard Berman, Executive Director for the Center for Consumer Freedom, said the financial links between PETA and ELF are very disturbing. An investigation of IRS documents shows that over the past 6 years PETA has given significant money to the legal support funds of criminals with close affiliations to both ELF and Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Berman said. More shocking is our most recent discovery of a direct donation to Earth Liberation Front from PETA in April 2001. PETAs 19952000 IRS tax filings show the following: In FY2000, PETA gave a direct contribution of $1500 to the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) to support their program activities. In FY2000, PETA gave $5000 to the Josh Harper Support Committee. Josh Harper is an ALF-affiliated criminal arrested numerous times and convicted for assaulting a police officer. In 1998, Harper told Eugene Weekly newspaper were going to continue to be confrontational, were going to continue to be militant. If people see that as extreme, then so be it. In FY1999, PETA gave $2,000 to David Wilson, a Utah-based animal-rights extremist who was then a national spokesperson for the ALF. In March of that year, Wilson bragged to Mother Jones magazine: We started with animal rights, but we've expanded to wildlife actions like the [October 1998 ski resort arson] one in Vail. We're the ones bridging the environmental gap. In FY1995, PETA gave a $45,200 contribution to the support committee of Rodney Coronado, a convicted arsonist who firebombed a research facility at Michigan State University. PETA also gave an unreturned $25,000 loan to Rodney Coronados father. PETA has used their closely controlled Foundation to Support Animal Protection to launder over $500,000 in contributions to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, an organization whose president collaborates with a violent animal rights group known as Stop Huntington Animal Cruelty (SHAC). SHAC is a special-interest subset of ALF responsible for firebombings, property destruction, grand theft and assault. People are being deceived by PETAs self-portrayal as a warm and cuddly animal rights organization, Berman said. PETA should explain to their contributors why their money is being used to help finance domestic terrorism.

It May Be Violence Under the Law, But I Just Don't Think it's Violence.' - John Sellers, Director of Ruckus Society, in Mother Jones, September/October 2000 'There's a Cadre, if You Will, of Criminal Conspirators Who Are About the Business of Planning Conspiracies to Go in and Cause Mayhem and Cause Property Damage.' - Philadelphia Police Commissioner John Timoney, in Salon.com on John Sellers and the Ruckus Society, August 8, 2000 WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 -- The Ruckus Society, leaders of a war waged against biotech foods, the World Bank, World Trade Organization and globalization of any kind, is the latest extreme organization exposed this week on ActivistCash.com. Well known for their central role in the 1999 World Trade Organization riots in Seattle, the Ruckus Society is a well-funded movement producing footsoldiers of the protest industry. ActivistCash.com reveals that the Ruckus Society has reaped hefty grant awards from the likes of Ted Turner and the caring capitalists at Ben Jerry's. These high-dollar donations go toward funding action camps which include training in police confrontation strategies, street blockades, urban climbing and rappelling and learning to lock your head to something. Mislabeling themselves as leaders in non-violence and civil disobedience, these non-violent activists were at the center of smashed windows, arson, and the ransacking of a Starbucks and a McDonalds during the Seattle protests. ActivistCash.com, which made its debut in December, is the first and only online resource exposing the funding sources of the most notorious and extreme groups that conspire to restrict the public's food and beverage choices through intimidation, taxation and misinformation. Mining more than 100,000 pages of IRS documents, ActivistCash.com compiles financial data, background information, profiles of anti-consumer ringleaders, and more, into the most comprehensive dossier ever assembled on the tremendous funding network aligned against personal consumer choice of food and drink. The Center for Consumer Freedom and ActivistCash.com represent a coalition of restaurant and tavern operators standing up against the growing fraternity of food cops, health care enforcers, vegetarian activists and meddling bureaucrats who know what's best for you. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [CTRL] JOSÉ_BOVÉ - Jail the Sumbitch!
-Caveat Lector- Looks like the poor French terrorist is going to go to jail for a few months for destroying restaraunts and a rice-breeding lab. So sad ... NOT! -- http://www.purefoods.org/other/bove.html José Bové is a veteran activist who poses as a French farmer. His most recent caper involved the demolition of a half-built McDonalds in Millau. During his trial he threatened that a guilty verdict would bring even more violence. It would astonish me greatly if the judge dares to order us to be arrested after the trial, he said. If so, the state would be making a great mistake, triggering an unprecedented situation. . . Bové claims to be a family farmer but how he finds the time to farm with all his international travel and activism is beyond any reasonable person's comprehension. He grew up in Berkeley, California where his scientist parents were 'studying' at the University of California for seven years during the Sixties. Not exactly a family farm history. In fact, France's Elle Magazine, noted Bové as the man who fooled us most, who perpetuated fraud in 1999 by pretending to be a farmer. (Dec. 20, 1999 issue). In 1968, Bové moved back to France and at the age of 19 started his career as a professional activist protesting against the French military. According to Time Magazine (December 6, 1999), Bové refused to perform his military service and dropped out of university to immerse himself in various leftist political and ecological movements. In 1975, Bové moved to Larzac, France with a group of like-minded activists as part of the French Flower Power movement to start a farming commune. This commune raised sheep and produced Roquefort cheese (the type he smuggled into the US and illegally distributed in Seattle to protest world trade) with government subsidies. However, Bové was never a full-time farmer; rather, he spent his time working with a local peasant movement organizing against the planned extension of an army base in southern France. Arrested for invading the base during a 1976 protest, Bové spent three weeks in prison. Following his prison time, Bové attended 'direct action' training camp in Libya sponsored by dictator Muammar Quadafi. After this training, in 1987 Bové founded the radical Confederation Paysanne, a leftist peasant farmers union, and began launching targeted commando actions against the government in support of increased socialism and French peasant-style subsistence agriculture. In Feburary 1988 he was one of the leaders who organized a protest called Plowing the Champs Elysees in Paris against the European set-aside policies. In September 1990 he led protests and hunger strikes demanding more government subsidies for sheep farmers (he must have needed more money to fund his political programs, and was unable to sustain them from his group's unsustainable Roquefort farm). In September 1991, he picketed the airport of Lazac and prevented French Prime Minister Jospin's plane from landing. In August 1995, he joined Greenpeace on the Rainbow Warrior to protest nuclear trials. Also, in 1995, Bové led protests in France destroying property and attacking French government offices smashing windows, setting fires and charging local police office gates with tractors. In 1997, Bové began mounting his protests against biotechnology crops. Since that time he has been implicated in the destruction of a Novartis seed production facility and the greenhouses of a public research center. Bové and his group are also credited with hijacking shipments of biotechnology-grown corn. Bové spent another three weeks in prison in 1999 after he lead activists in the destruction of a McDonalds in Normandy. Bové is now the darling of the organic and anti-biotechnology movement. In Seattle he was hosted by Ralph Nader's organization at a rally, conveniently held in front of a local McDonalds. The McDonalds was, of course, vandalized. Bové has also been the guest of anti-technology, organic farming advocate Mark Ritchie and his IATP group. During the WTO meeting in Seattle, a US farm group sent Nader a letter asking that he disavow the violence started by Bové and cease sponsoring street rallies in front of such targets as McDonalds. (Nader never responded.) Bové supports government control of agriculture, high subsidies and tariff barriers to protect his form of agriculture and has called for the creation of an independent world court protect this system. For his ties to the overpriced organic movement, his acts of vandalism and his blatant lies, we are proud to pronounce José Bové the Pure Fool of the Month. http://www.purefoods.org/other/bove.html http://www.planetrice.net/newspub/story.cfm?id=1272 Eight Months Prison Recommended for Jose Bove Political discourses on GM crops are not relevant in court, prosecutor says.

[CTRL] Former Greenpeace Chief is Corporate Whore
-Caveat Lector- Three articles below Former Greenpeace chief joins Monsanto's PR firm The Independent January 08, 2002 By Marie Woolf, Chief Political Correspondent LORD MELCHETT, the former head of Greenpeace, who led its campaign against genetically modified crops, has accepted a salaried job with a public relations firm whose clients include Monsanto, the GM giant. The leading environmentalist, who stood down as executive director of the campaigning charity last year, starts work next week as a consultant with Burson-Marsteller, which has represented some of the world's most notorious polluters, including the Exxon Corporation, Union Carbide, and the US company Babcock and Wilcox. Lord Melchett will head a committee advising companies on how to deal with controversial issues such as GM food, toxic waste and child labour in the developing world. The company said he may also give them advice on how to cope with environmental protests. His acceptance of the contract has caused unease among his former colleagues at Greenpeace, even though the Eton-educated peer, who was once arrested for destroying a field of GM crops, asked the permission of the organisation's new head before accepting the job. Stephen Tindale, who took over from Lord Melchett as Greenpeace's executive director, said he was certain that Lord Melchett would not compromise his ideals. The American-owned PR firm represented Union Carbide, the US company which in 1984 leaked more than 40 tonnes of toxic gas in Bhopal, India, killing 2,000 people and injuring hundreds of thousands. It also advised Babcock and Wilcox after the company's nuclear reactor failed at Three Mile Island in 1979, the United States' worst nuclear accident. Lord Melchett said he would be prepared to engage with his old adversary Monsanto, but he insisted: I am not going to change my stance. GM food is a technology that has no future. The environmental villains are the people we want to change or stop. Burson-Marsteller's is one of the world's leading PR companies. Its website boasts of its unrivalled track record of helping corporate management handle major crises, including protests from campaigning groups such as Greenpeace. Ex-Greenpeace chief `joins Monsanto firm' The Daily Telegraph January 08, 2002 By Andrew Hibberd LORD MELCHETT, the former head of Greenpeace UK who led its campaign against genetically modified crops, has joined the payroll of a public relations company that worked for Monsanto, the firm behind the trials, it was reported last night. The former Labour minister, who is still a member of Greenpeace International, is said to have become a consultant to Burson-Marsteller, one of the world's biggest communications companies. His appointment, for an undisclosed annual retainer, has provoked scorn among Greenpeace campaigners, who regard him as a turncoat. Burson-Marsteller was employed to shed a favourable light on the Argentine junta despite the disappearance of 35,000 civilians. Another job was to work on the image of the Indonesian government after the East Timor massacres. The late Romanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu, was another client. Lord Melchett was said to have denied that he had changed sides or that his environmental values would suffer. He said he would continue to speak out against companies with unsound environmental records. Burson-Marsteller could not confirm the appointment. + Anti-GM warrior Melchett joins PR firm that advised Monsanto The Guardian (London) By John Vidal January 8, 2002 Lord Melchett, the former head of Greenpeace UK who was arrested two years ago after leading an attack on a genetically modified crop, startled former colleagues yesterday by announcing he had taken a job at a PR company which has represented Monsanto and the European biotech industry. In a move that has provoked scorn from anti-GM activists, the former Labour minister and farmer, who is on the board of Greenpeace International, is to become a consultant for Burson-Marsteller, the world's largest corporate communications company. He will be paid an undisclosed annual retainer and has a brief to talk to whoever he likes. Burson-Marsteller is the company that governments with poor human rights records and corporations in trouble with environmentalists have turned to when in crisis. The world's biggest PR company was employed by the Nigerian government to discredit reports of genocide during the Biafran war, the Argentinian junta after the disappearance of 35,000 civilians, and the Indonesian government after the massacres in East Timor. It also worked to improve the image of the late Romanian president Nicolae Ceausescu and the Saudi royal family. Its corporate clients have included the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, which suffered a partial meltdown in 1979, Union Carbide after the Bhopal gas leak killed up to 15,000 people in
Re: [CTRL] Greenpeace Denounces Paper Currency
-Caveat Lector- Greenpeace isn't very forthcoming with their funding. The American Institute of Philanthropy, a watchdog group (www.charitywatch.org), gave Greenpeace Inc. a grade of D (on the American grading scale, where A+ is the best), and they noted that only about half the money sent to them is actually spent on programs (the rest probably makes up salaries and rent for their luscious office space). AIP also reports that Greenpeace spends between 59 and 69 dollars for every 100 dollars it raises. So to answer your question, they are funding themselves by scaring people into sending donations. They are keeping their pockets lined through charitable donations, and it's obvious that they care nothing about the environment. See http://www.greenpiece.org.

[CTRL] Greenpeace Denounces Paper Currency
-Caveat Lector- Greenpeace Denounces Paper Currency Vows Only to Accept Coins as Donations INT-News (December 28, 2001 -- Amsterdam) INT -- Upon hearing the revelation that the new European paper currency (EURO) is made with non-organic cotton, including American cotton genetically altered to reduce pesticide use, an outraged Gerd Leipold declared that the $150 million Greenpeace International would boycott paper money, cheques and other possible tainted currency products. As we have repeatedly stated, we unequivocally oppose any release of genes into the environment, stated Greenpeace executive director Leipold in a hastily called press conference at Greenpeace world headquarters in Amsterdam. The discovery of this so-called 'improved' cotton in currency and other paper products places anyone who handles cash at risk of violating our beliefs and ethical standards. Scientists and agricultural experts denounced Greenpeace's gesture, noting that it would require the destruction of millions of hectares of protected forests to farm the lower-yielding organic cottons. Others noted that the ecological damage of the massive increase in 'organic' insecticides that would also be required would mean millions of pounds of so-called natural pesticides polluting the soil and ground water. Greenpeace rejected the claims as more scientific propaganda used to cloud their quasi-religious, eco-politically-based positions. Greenpeace immediately announced plans to hire the testing firm Genetic ID to begin random testing of all paper currency for traces of the modified cotton. Based in Fairfield, Iowa with the yogic-flying Maharishi religious meditation cult, Genetic ID had not yet received a contract from Greenpeace and declined comment. Leipold added, Until we can find a clean currency made with 100% organic cotton we will accept only coins as donations. Greenpeace faced a similar public relations dilemma several years ago when it's green credit card was exposed as being made from biotech plastic made by Monsanto. The Monsanto plastic, sold under the name Biopol, was made from a biotechnology-derived plant process. The biotech plastic comes from renewable resources, is non-polluting and biodegradable. According to a company spokeswoman Greenpeace was the biggest customer for the product. INT-News asked numismatic expert consultants to review Greenpeace's options for raising their annual US $150,000,000.00 budget using coins to determine the best alternative forms of non-paper currencies. Taking into consideration a combination of factors, including exchange rates, weights and the political orientation of the minting government, the experts concluded that the Haitian Gourd (comprised of 100 centimes) was the only coin which came close to meeting Greenpeace's strict eco-political doctrines. Devastating poverty ensures that few of the modern agricultural technologies and practices which Greenpeace opposes are available in Haiti. This poverty and the accompanying malnutrition make Haiti among the most desolate, ecologically devastated and desperate nations on earth. In fact, Greenpeace International's annual budget is more than four times larger than Haiti's annual budget deficit. A Haitian 10 centime coin weighs about the same as a U.S. penny -- about 2.5 grams. At the current conversion rate Greenpeace's annual budget could be met with 1.5 billion Haitian Gourds. This would comprise 15 billion 10 centime coins with a combined weight of 38 million kilograms (38,000 tons). We determined that were Greenpeace to adopt a Haitian-only currency policy they would lift Haiti and it's people out of poverty within 3 years, noted economist Saul Hamberstoeller. However, shipping costs for the millions of kilos of coins would dictate that Greenpeace move the bulk of their massive global operations and thousands of employees to the impoverished island nation. A minister with the Haitian government expressed cautious optimism at the prospect of having the equivalent of US $150 million bolstering the local economy. It would mean a great deal to the people of Haiti to see the benefits of such a huge organization's economic engine fueled only by Haitian centimes, noted the minister. However, our people and country have never benefited from any of Greenpeace's past activities so we'll reserve comment until we see something concrete. Greenpeace noted that it is still reviewing currency options but considered the Haitian coins as a leading option. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [CTRL] MS Drug Company Conspiracy
-Caveat Lector- This is an awful manipulation by a drug company and a "scientist" for profit. Especially this: http://www.badwebmedicine.com/dr_omar_khan.html Are There Industry Links? Here is the second red flag: Dr. Khan's publicity campaign is funded by the owner of the drug that benefits most from his conclusions. Despite the fact that Khan's study has not been subjected to serious scientific review or published, Khan acknowledged in one of the few articles reporting on the study that he received from Teva Marion Pharmaceuticals (manufacturers of Copaxone®) to publicize the report. He stated that Teva Marion "put him in touch" with its public relations firm to prepare a press release and video (The Wall Street Journal, October 14, 1999). As a result, Khan embarked on a campaign to publicize his findings. According to Khan, this effort was supported by the Wayne State University Neuroscience Program. Yet, Teva Marion Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Copaxone®, provided money (in the form of an "unrestricted" educational grant) and other support to package Khan's poster into a series of press releases and media events. As a result, discussion of this study is not occurring within the scientific/medical community; rather it is Khan's own efforts to provide informational talks and seminars that keep the study alive. It appears to be the case that incomplete information is being provided to both physicians and patients through Khan's over-interpretation of the data from his one small, incomplete study.

Note: forwarded message attached. They're trying to cover this all up by changing the date on Network Solutions yesterday, which you can see by the date it was last updated. Read on. John __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/ Dale, I dont have very developed research skills, I simply checked out what John Wallace had written and found it all to be true. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to make the connection, Dale. The info is all there at Network Solutions. That is, IT WAS UNTIL SOMEONE CHANGED IT YESTERDAY!! Nevertheless, it is still easy to see, Dale, and I will now break it down for you here in four easy steps: 1. SUSTAIN is an IATP organization. For in case you didnt know that, please go to http://sustain.org. If thats not enough, please look at the registered owner of the site here: http://networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois?STRING=sustain.orgSTRING=Search. 2. Earth First! is a terrorist organization, Im sure you would agree. If not, please take a look at their web site at http://www.enviroweb.org/ef/primer/ and read a bit about them. Then look at the address listed for their Chicago branch, also called Red Gate EF, at http://www.enviroweb.org/ef/contact.html#I. Its 3400 W. 111th St #154, Chicago, IL 60655. 3. GEAN is a collaboration between IATP and SUSTAIN. Please go to http://geaction.org and look at the bottom right hand corner. The contact is Renske van Staveren at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and there is a SUSTAIN contact as well. The registered owner is SUSTAIN, which you can see by going here: http://networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois?STRING=geaction.orgSTRING=Search 4. HERES WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING The address of the technical and administrative contact, Jim Bell, AS OF YESTERDAY, was also: 3400 W. 111th St #154, Chicago, IL 60655 THE SAME ONE AS THE EARTH FIRST ADDRESS IN STEP TWO!! Apparently someone at GEAN got scared and changed the address since then. Dale, if you think that I am making this up, please look at the date when this information was LAST UPDATED: 20-MAR-01, or March 20 2001 which was yesterday. Dale, the only conspiracy here is the one within your own organization to cover up this link between SUSTAIN, IATP and Earth First. Someone changed the address yesterday on purpose, after this link was exposed. Please go see for yourself. Believe me, Dale, I hate lies and innuendos as much as anyone. Please take this seriously and follow the steps above. By doing so you will definitely see that something is rotten in the state of Minnesota.

[CTRL] IATP TERRORISM
-Caveat Lector- IATP CONNECTED TO TERRORISTS IATP, SUSTAIN and project GEAN (Ge Action Network) use the same mail drop as radical Earth First! group. Organizers of the Keep Organic Campaign (http://www.saveorganic.org/home.shtml), who lobby to prevent the use of biotechnology in organic production are using the same post-office drop box as the radical Earth First! organization. Sustain USA is run by organic advocate Jim Slama, who has registered an anti-biotech organizing web site, http://www.geaction.org, to the same address (a mail drop at Chicago Lock Box) as is noted for the mailing address for the Chicago arm of Earth First. The address for both is: 3400 W 111th Street, #154, Chicago, IL 60655 In addition, the GEaction.org campaign notes their contact information on their web site to be Renske van Staveren, a staffer with the Minneapolis-based Institute for Agriculture Trade Policy (IATP). IATP (The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy) IATP (http://www.iatp.org) claims to be a non-profit agriculture, trade and democracy group and is run by pro-organic eco-activist Mark Ritchie. Ritchie is also on the corporation filing papers for the Tides Center in San Francisco. Tides is noted for channeling contributions from organic and natural products industry groups and other special interest groups to specific activist groups, including hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to scare-campaign expert Fenton Communications, which provides public relations services to several anti-biotech campaigns. For tax purposes, IATP claims, "The primary purpose of the Institute for Agriculture Trade Policy (IATP) is to research and report on issues related to the trade and agriculture policies in an effort to educate and involve citizens upon such issues." IATP notes multi-million dollar assets and revenues. IATP also notes salary and wage compensation for their staff in excess of $1 million per year. In addition to organizing anti-biotechnology, pro-organic events and outreach campaigns (like the [EMAIL PROTECTED] listserv), Ritchie's group also runs a for-profit organic coffee subsidiary: Headwaters International (http://www.peacecoffee.com). SUSTAIN Sustain (http://www.sustainusa.org) claims to be an independent "non-profit organization that uses innovative communications strategies to help win environmental victories." Sustain also claims to be three years old; however, no corporate/non-profit filing documents or required tax filings with the name sustain can be found as having registered in the U.S. or any related organization with the names Jim Slama or Bill Boyd, the noted Sustain president and board chairman. EARTH FIRST! Earth First (http://www.EarthFirst.org) describes its purpose noting, "Are you tired of namby-pamby environmental groups? Are you tired of overpaid corporate environmentalists who suck up to bureaucrats and industry? Have you become disempowered by the reductionist approach of environmental professionals and scientists?... then Earth first if for you." Earth First claims to "use all the tools in the box" to address their issues, including "civil disobedience and monkeywrenching." Earth First further defines "monkeywrenching" as: "ecotage; ecodefense; billboard bandits; desurveying; road reclamation; tree spiking -- all these can be defined as the unlawful sabotage of industrial extraction ... as a means of striking at the Earth's destroyers at the point where they commit their crimes." (http://www.www.enviroweb.org/ef/primer/Monkeywrench.html) News reports have linked Earth First! to acts of eco-terrorism and sabotage in the U.S. and Europe ranging from property destruction to arson costing tens of millions of dollars. The FBI is reported to be investigating a series of arsons linked to Earth First groups. According to One such group, the Earth Liberation Front "claims to be an offshoot of the radical Earth First. On its Web site, it says it emerged in Brighton, England, in 1992 through Earth Firsters who did not want to abandon the option of criminal acts to further their environmental goals." HERE'S THE PROOF: 1. A Whois search at http://www.networksolutions.com reveals this address for GEaction.com's administrative and technical contact, Jim Bell: 3400 W. 111th St #154 Chicago, IL 60655 2. If you go to the contact page at Earth First! and look at the Illinois branch you will see this exact same address for Red Gate EF! The URL is http://www.enviroweb.org/ef/contact.html#USA. 3.
