-Caveat Lector- [WARNING: I am not sure who AheadNews is? Is it a spoof or just trying to be ahead when the masthead reads Sunday July 19, 2001? Sunday? July 19, 2001? However, it is rather interesting to read, in a perverse way. What bothers me is the question, Why would Condit leave anything of any questionable nature in his apartment since he had a couple of months to clean things up and almost certainly knew that sometime the police would want to search it? --MS] http://www.AHEADNEWS.com/levy.html Condit May Not Want To Reveal Truth About Sex Games 7.19.01 UPDATE: Insiders can reveal now that the D.C. Police has confiscated items in Rep. Gary Condit's forbidden bathroom closet that coupled with DNA evidence collected already will blow the roof off the case of the disappearance of Chandra Levy. The discovery of the sexual related inventory hidden in Condit's closet that mistress Anne Marie Smith was forbidden to look at will astound the followers of this national media story. Police investigators now believe that the because of the graphic nature of the material in this closet that Chandra Levy was accidentally killed in a sex game situation. How much evidence the authorities have in the apartment of a body removal by Condit or another party is not known yet, but the Congressman appears to have made a fatal mistake by letting the DC Police search his apartment, instead of making them get a warrant.

[CTRL] HouChron: Cover-ups inside FBI disclosed
-Caveat Lector- http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/front/971628 Houston Chronicle July 18, 2001, 11:27PM Cover-ups inside FBI disclosed Dated computers among problems By MICHAEL HEDGES Copyright 2001 Houston Chronicle Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- FBI officials Wednesday described massive problems inside the agency, including cover-ups, retribution against whistle-blowers and computers so outdated that they won't run basic software. Senators at a Judiciary Committee hearing spanked the FBI for its latest blunder in losing hundreds of guns and laptop computers. The lawmakers then listened as FBI officials testified to deep, entrenched troubles in the country's major law enforcement agency. Belying the bureau's image of a high-tech law enforcement organization, FBI assistant director Bob Dies said, for a variety of reasons, the FBI information technology has had no meaningful improvement in six years. Some parts of our system are much older. Dies, a former IBM executive hired to rectify major problems in the FBI's information systems, said at least 13,000 FBI desktop computers, cannot run today's basic software and that the FBI agents are working on computers lacking features that your teen-agers have enjoyed for years. Kenneth Senser, a CIA official sent to the FBI to review bureau security procedures in the wake of the spy charges against former FBI agent Robert Hanssen, testified about major failures in that area. Senser said the FBI's security lapses had contributed in Hanssen's ability to spy for Moscow for 20 years, as the former agent admitted in a guilty plea this month. FBI internal security measures, were often poorly coordinated, inefficient, and not as effective as possible, Senser testified. The testimony about poor FBI security and abysmal technology reached a Senate panel already steaming about media reports of 449 lost weapons and 180 lost laptop computers, with at least a few containing sensitive information. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, said, The fact that, with computers with classified information and with weapons like machine guns, the FBI had such lax procedures is damning ... One scratches one's head in wonderment and asks, `How does a law enforcement agency lose guns, especially machine guns?' Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley said, To have laptops missing that could have national security information on them would be atrocious. For the FBI to have lost firearms and failed to account for them is inexcusable. But even more troubling to some senators was a series of accounts Wednesday of cover-ups, stonewalling and retribution inside the bureau. Active duty agents described a deep, angry split inside the bureau, while senators vowed to protect them from retaliation from inside the FBI. An internal FBI struggle pitted rank and file agents against officials who have senior executive status, acquired by being appointed to top jobs by the director or his deputies, officials testified. John Roberts, an FBI agent who was assigned to conduct a thorough review of the FBI's action during a shootout at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, testified that not only were his findings whitewashed, but also he and another investigator, received what we perceived to be threats from (high-ranking FBI) personnel. Roberts said he bucked the threats and filed a report detailing serious misconduct by seven FBI senior executives who he said were involved in an attempted cover-up of FBI misdeeds at Ruby Ridge, where an FBI sniper accidentally shot to death the wife of white separatist Randy Weaver in 1992. But the report was ignored by Justice Department officials, Roberts said. A formal finding was issued in January saying no misconduct occurred. I find this conclusion to be outrageous, Roberts testified. I believe anyone who reviews this matter will find the conclusions alarming. Recently retired FBI agent John Werner, who worked with Roberts on the Ruby Ridge case, agreed that officials inside the bureau use intimidation and retaliation against anyone who would ... challenge their interests. Werner said the internal divide had caused major morale problems among line agents. Agents expressed reluctance to become involved in a management system they believed to be hypocritical and lacking ethics, he said. As with other FBI critics testifying Wednesday, Werner emphasized that there were many positives within the agency. It is important not to forget the dedicated hard work performed by the more than 26,000 FBI employees who successfully investigate thousands of cases each year, he said. There are things broken in the FBI, primarily management related, but the basics of how agents conduct their investigations (are) not broken. Frank Perry, an FBI agent who handled hundreds of ethics complaints at the bureau while detailed to internal affairs, said the senior executives in the FBI were joined into a made member club dedicated to quashing probes of alleged wrongdoing. Perry said recently
[CTRL] BarryChamish: Har Shefi Pardon (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: Barry Chamish [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 8:27 PM Subject: Har Shefi Pardon HAR SHEFI AND OTHER STINKY DEALS By Barry Chamish Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 19:46:06 +0200 From: Joel Bainerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] HAR SHEFI AND OTHER STINKY DEALS by Barry Chamish President Katzav has pardoned Margalit Har Shefi and is receiving endless accolades from her supporters, praising him for his wisdom and goodness. When will they learn that there is no goodness left in Israeli politics, just stinky deals? Katzav has never had an original thought in his life, nor has he once acted upon his own initiative. Har Shefi's pardon was part of a program to make certain that the Shabak inciter Avishai Raviv never has his day in court. The first signs that such a plan exists were revealed two weeks ago when charges of incitement against three Eyal members were dropped. They were accused of participating in a filmed initiation ceremony, broadcast over the Israel Broadcasting Authority's Channel One television station. Of course, the inflammatory ceremony was organized by Raviv himself and stage-directed by Channel One's Shabak director Eitan Oren. Now, thought the authorities, we wouldn't want those nasty facts emerging from a trial, so let's get rid of this problematic exercise in legal malpractice. And since the charges were dropped against the Eyal boys, well, we'll just drop the same charge against Avishai Raviv. That left just one charge against Raviv; failure to prevent the assassination of the prime minister, why the very same crime Har Shefi was convicted of. And if she gets a pardon, well so will Raviv, even before his trial begins. Now how do we know this was the deal? Because Katzav as good as told us. He explained he reached his pardon decision after consulting with Carmi Gillon and Edna Arbel. Now why, oh why, would they want Margalit Har Shefi pardoned? Could it be because Arbel, as state prosecutor, dropped numerous police complaints against Raviv and prevented Eitan Oren from standing trial for directing the infamous Eyal initiation ceremony? (for full details, look at the chapter called Gagging On The Protocols from my book, The Last Days Of Israel). And could it be, because Gillon was Raviv's ultimate superior officer and his role in the incitements leading to and including the Rabin murder would inevitably be exposed in a fair trial of Avishai Raviv? Could it also be because Rabin's real murderer, the Shabak bodyguard Yoram Rubin, has to be protected at all costs. Recall a similar episode. In 1974, a soldier, Rachel Heller, was murdered by her boyfriend, a Shabak officer named Aharon Bichovsky. To protect their man, the Shabak had State Attorney General Meir Shamgar sent an innocent dupe, Amos Baranes, to prison for life. As public awareness of the injustice spread, Supreme Court Judge, Haim Cohen, begged Baranes, literally on his knees, to accept a presidential pardon and be released. Baranes refused because one can only be pardoned for a crime actually committed. He would not go through life a convicted criminal. He chose prison over letting the state get away with murder. Margalit Har Shefi was just as innocent as Baranes and if she had a fraction of his integrity she would have turned down Katzav's phoney pardon. But she didn't and watch the consequences; Raviv will be pardoned as well even before he steps into the courtroom. ** But since stinky deals are a way of life in Israel, let's take the opportunity to look at a few more: 1. Covering Up The Enemy's Crimes Yippee doo. The source of the ammonia poisoning in the Gush Dan water supply last week has been solved. The water authority Mekorot found an ammonia leak at a filtration station in Bet Netofa in the Jezreel Valley. A hydrology student wrote: That means the ammonia-polluted water flowed 80 kilometers undetected before entering the Gush Dan network...like that could happen. A nature-loving shepherd was murdered by the PLO and our government told us he was shot dead. Why didn't they want the public to know the truth, as explained by another writer: It was told to me this evening that the government version of the murder of Yair Har Sinai being shot by automatic fire from a distance was a fabrication. The fact as reported to me by an army officer is that he was surprised and caught by a number of assailants and tortured before death. His body was cut from the area of the navel up towards the throat, his innards being removed as well as other mutilations. It was the opinion of the officer that he suffered greatly before his unfortunate death which was ended with a bullet in the head at close range. 2. Trojan Horses Last month Pal. leader Faysel Al-Husseini was murdered in Kuwait by his own CIA-trained bodyguards. The motive reported by Arab sources was a power struggle between him and PLO Security chief
[CTRL] RC: Condit Denies Obstruction, Says [Hell NO!] I Won't Go
-Caveat Lector- http://www.rollcall.com/pages/news/00/2001/07/news0719d.html July 19, 2001 Condit Denies Obstruction, Says He Won't Step Down By John Bresnahan and Damon Chappie With the furor over missing Washington intern Chandra Levy continuing to swirl around him, Rep. Gary Condit (D-Calif.) has been quietly telling his colleagues that he has no intention of resigning. Condit initiated a brief meeting Tuesday with Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas), who has been publicly critical of the California Democrat, and declared that he is not leaving Capitol Hill. Armey refused to comment on what he and his colleague talked about, but Condit later told Members on the floor that he told the Majority Leader he does not foresee himself handing in his resignation. He is telling Members that he is not planning on going anywhere, said a senior Democratic staffer. Condit is also insisting to his colleagues that he has not obstructed the Metropolitan Police investigation into the whereabouts of Levy, despite the fact that he did not tell investigators that he was romantically involved with the 24-year-old until his third interview with them. He's saying that he is just looking for fairness, said one Democratic aide. He's just looking for a fair shake from the police, not for any special treatment. However, several senior Democratic staffers now say Members are privately grumbling that Condit has become a distraction for the party and that he should think about resigning. Members are saying that's what he should do, said one top Democratic aide. They wish he would, but it's not like anybody is saying that directly to him. It's still his decision. Nevertheless, Condit has also been getting some help from unexpected quarters. Rep. Max Sandlin (D-Texas), a former trial attorney, has been speaking to other Members on the embattled lawmaker's behalf. Sandlin has been cautioning Democrats not to assume that Condit's legal position is untenable. He has also been publicly telling all who will listen that Condit seems OK physically and is not breaking down under the intense media scrutiny. [Sandlin] is just saying that we shouldn't judge Condit when the chief of police, Chief [Charles] Ramsey, is saying he's not a suspect, Danielle Allen, Sandlin's communications director, said. There's no reason for us to jump the gun or something. Even as Condit tries to publicly maintain a business-as-usual demeanor, some of his colleagues acknowledge that they can easily see the toll this is taking on the 53-year-old Congressman. I don't think he looks good, Rep. Ralph Hall (D-Texas) said Tuesday afternoon after emerging from the House floor, where he had been engaged in a lengthy conversation with Condit and Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.). He looks like he's going through what he's going through, continued Hall. I don't even know how he lives, the pressure he's been under. As for Condit, Hall argued that if the case remains unresolved, a stigma will be attached to [Condit] for the rest of his life. Hall said in their conversation that the longtime California Congressman had spoken only of the patient's bill of rights. If he wants to volunteer something he could. I wouldn't push him, said Hall, who does not believe Condit should resign. Hall declined to say whether he thought the intense press coverage of Condit was fair or not, but did say that he thought the media would be best served if they took another tact. I think they ought to be looking for that girl, Hall said. Levy was last seen April 30, and the continuing mystery over what happened to the intern as well as details over her relationship with Condit have sparked a media stampede unseen on Capitol Hill since the impeachment trial of former President Bill Clinton. After protesters appeared outside his Modesto office this week and started calling for him to leave Congress, Condit's office issued a defiant statement declaring that he would not bow to special interests seeking to swing the seat to Republicans. On Wednesday, Condit supporters rallied in support of the beleaguered seven-term Member. Condit's attorney, Abbe Lowell, has publicly declared that his client has decided to run for re-election next year. Followed by reporters as he left a committee hearing Tuesday, Condit mostly ignored their questions about the Levy case. What attention? he shot back when one scribe asked how he was managing to get his work done amid all the controversy. Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (Miss.) and Rep. Bob Barr (Ga.) have blasted Condit for his alleged affair with Levy and his handling of the subsequent police investigation of her disappearance. And both lawmakers have called for Condit's resignation. As he finds himself plagued with questions about the Levy case, other Members of Congress have found themselves dogged by questions about Condit. James Robinson, the attorney for United Airlines flight attendant Anne Marie Smith, has said that Sens. Barbara

HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVISTS IGNORED THE POOR TO PUSH THEIR AGENDA AND GUT THE FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE! TVC is claiming victory for Thursday's House passage of the Community Solutions Act (H.R. 7) President Bush's Faith-Based Initiative. The Act was nearly hijacked by homosexual activists and their allies in Congress who attempted to destroy the President's plan. The vote was 233-198. The Community Solutions Act will work to end anti-religious discrimination in federal funding against faith-based organizations involved in helping the poor and needy in our communities. The Act will allow religious groups to compete for federal grant money on an equal basis with secular organizations involved in meeting the needs of low-income families, drug addicts, the mentally ill, and women in crisis. Homosexuals attempted to amend the Act to turn it into a special rights for homosexuals bill. Using the force of law, homosexuals want to prohibit faith-based groups from setting their own hiring standards. Had the militant homosexuals been successful, their amendment would have FORCED religious groups to violate their own religious beliefs by requiring them to hire individuals who do not share the group's faith or moral values. The 1964 Civil Rights Act specifically exempts religious groups from federal employment discrimination statutes. The law recognizes that religious groups have the constitutional right to set their own hiring standards. I am outraged that homosexuals are willing to destroy an effort to help low-income families, said Andrea Lafferty, Executive Director of the Traditional Values Coalition. This shows their true colors. They don't care about the plight of the homeless or those in poverty. It is also clear that they don't care about the religious beliefs of millions of Americans who spend their lives helping the less fortunate in our society. They only care about getting special rights for themselves and their sexual behavior. The Community Solutions Act is about helping people. When it reaches the Senate we hope they will not allow this compassionate legislation to be hijacked by homosexuals and converted into a homosexual special rights law! This is clearly an example of anti-religious bigotry! To read more about TVC's position on this bill, go to: . B. HOUSE/SENATE BEGIN DEBATE ON BUSH EDUCATION BILL The House and Senate conference committee began meeting on Thursday to work out differences between the House version of the education bill versus the Senate version. The education bills, H.R. 1 and S. 1, both contain dangerous hate crime language in them that threaten religious freedom and promote homosexuality in the public schools. This legislation will reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and expand upon it. Section 4124 of S1, Hate Crimes Prevention calls for the creation of materials and training materials ostensibly designed to reduce hatred in public schools. In reality, the legislation is designed to promote homosexuality and to silence all principled opposition to homosexual recruitment programs in schools. It will criminalize speech against homosexuality and promote a climate of anti-Christian bigotry. Here is a list of the legislators who will be on the joint House-Senate conference committee to work out differences between the House and Senate versions. The conferees are: Senate conferees: Senators Kennedy, Dodd, Harkin, Mikulski, Jeffords, Bingaman, Wellstone, Murray, Reed, Edwards, Clinton, Lieberman, Bayh; Senators Gregg, Frist, Enzi, Hutchinson, Warner, Bond, Roberts, Collins, Sessions, DeWine, Allard, Ensign.

[CTRL] AP: U.S. Attorney Charged With Lewdness
-Caveat Lector- U.S. Attorney Charged With Lewdness by CATHERINE S. BLAKE Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- An assistant U.S. attorney has been charged with lewdness for allegedly exposing her breasts and mooning neighbors on the street outside their home. Laurie Sartorio, 45, a criminal prosecutor for the U.S. attorney's office, has been charged with a class A misdemeanor for lewdness involving a child. The maximum penalty is one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. A woman a witness later identified as Sartorio yelled at a group of neighbors as they watched her discipline two dogs she was walking July 12, according to a police report. One of the group was a 2-year-old child. The woman shouted expletives and made an obscene gesture at the group, police spokesman Fred Louis said. The woman walked down the street, pulled down her pants and mooned the group, then pulled up her shirt to expose her breasts, the report said. Louis said the woman then repeated her actions. Sartorio denied all charges in a police report. She refused to comment Thursday in a phone interview. The case has been referred to the Inspector General's Office in Washington, which investigates possible wrongdoing inside the Department of Justice. T.J. Bondurant, assistant inspector general, said the office would have no comment. PR Newswire November 14, 1990, Wednesday ^ SECTION: State and Regional News DISTRIBUTION: TO STATE AND CITY NEWS EDITOR HEADLINE: $280,680 IN U.S. CURRENCY DECLARED FORFEITED TO U.S. PURSUANT TO FORFEITURE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL NARCOTICS LAWS DATELINE: BOSTON, Nov. 14 U.S. Attorney Wayne A. Budd announced today that $280,680 in United States currency has been declared forfeited to the United States pursuant to the forfeiture provisions of the federal narcotics laws. The currency was seized from Paul Theodore Debruyn and Thomas Patrick Shea. According to documents on file in the United States District Court in Boston, the forfeiture case against the currency arose out of an investigation conducted by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). An affidavit filed by a Special Agent of the DEA with the Court contains evidence that Debruyn and Shea entered into transactions with two individuals, who were acting in an undercover capacity for the DEA, for the delivery of cocaine into the United States and for the purchase of 20 kilograms of cocaine. The forfeiture case was brought by the United States Attorney's Office under a section of the federal narcotics laws that subjects to forfeiture any currency which is used or intended to be used to facilitate the illegal distribution of narcotics. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney ***Laurie J. Sartorio of the Asset Forfeiture Division of Budd's office.

[CTRL] NM: Tabs Hit Condit with 'Sex Slave' and Assault Allegations
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2001/7/20/81726 NewsMax Friday, July 20, 2001 9:17 a.m. EDT Tabs Hit Condit with 'Sex Slave' and Assault Allegations Twenty-seven women have told investigators they've had affairs with Congressman Gary Condit, with probers exploring everything from an account he turned girlfriends into his sex slaves, to rape allegations, two supermarket tabloids are set to report. Gary called his chicks his sex slaves, a Condit pal told the Globe, which feautres an interview with 34-year-old Torrie Hendley, who's account substantiates the charge. He liked to be dominant, Hendley, a California T-shirt artist, told the tabloid. He always wanted to be on top, pinning my arms down with his hands. Hendley said Condit was into spanking games and was angered when she didn't appreciate his kinky antics. He'd say, 'What are you laughing at?' and get furious, Handley told the Globe. Condit would sometimes explode over little things, she said, like the time she was late for one of their assignations. He was furious, according to Hendley. He yelled, 'I've got better things to do than wait around for you all night.' Hendley also alleged that Condit was super-secretive about their six month affair, a detail that mirrors what other Condit girlfriends have said, including what Chandra Levy told her aunt. And in another revelation that mirrors the account of one-time Condit chauffeur Vince Flammini, Hendley says Condit told her he had a vasectomy, which -- if true -- would rule out the possibility that Chandra Levy was pregnant when she disappeared. Three weeks ago, the Globe first revealed Condit's relationship with flight attendant Anne Marie Smith, whose subsequent account to Fox News blew the lid off the Condit-Levy case. The National Enquirer goes even further than the Globe, claiming that Condit probers are investigating rape allegations against the married 53-year-old. In a report set to hit newsstands today, the Enquirer claims, Investigators working on the Chandra Levy missing intern case are probing charges that Congressman Gary Condit was accused of sexually assaulting two teenage girls. Two California girls -- both just 15 at the time -- claimed they were sexually assaulted by Condit when he was a state assemblyman about 15 years ago, a source close to the case told the tabloid. The girls were terrified of Condit but made a police report anyway. But somehow the whole thing just went away. This has left some associates wondering what the congressman might be capable of in a fit of passion or rage, a Justice Dept. source confided to the Enquirer. Several women are said to have told probers that Condit was into kinky sex -- including rough sex and that he has an explosive temper when things don't go his way. FBI agents working on the case are astounded by Condit's rampant promiscuity. There have been more than 27 women interviewed who have had affairs with him, ranging in age from 20 to 50, a Justice Dept. source told the Enquirer.

[CTRL] FR: NE: Condit's Violent Attack on 2 Girls
-Caveat Lector- [Because the Star found Darrell Condit in Florida, and The National Enquirer broke Jesse Jackson's love child story, who knows...this might have some merit. Also, the below was manually typed from text, so there may be typos.] http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b57b30353ef.htm Condit's Violent Attack on 2 Girls Crime/Corruption News Keywords: CONDIT VIOLENCE Source: The National Enquirer Published: 19JUL01 Authors: David Wright, Don Gentile, Michael Hanrahan, Courtney Callahan; Bennet Bolton Investigators working on Chandra Levy missing intern case are probing charges that Congressman Gary Condit was accused of sexually assaulting two teenage girls. That shocking disclosure is part of an in-depth Enquirer investigation that reveals Condit's violent secret life. Authorities have spoken to dozens of women who've had sex with Condit--and despite fearing him, many have broken their silence to brand him a ruthless, sex-crazed Jekyll and Hyde who woos them and then uses terror tactics to enforce their silence. Gary is a hunter and a predator, his former long-time bodyguard and driver Vincent Flammini told the Enquirer. The Enquirer's massive investigation has ripped the lid off Condit's chilling double life--his involvement with a sleazy underworld of biker bars, rough sex, and sex drugs that could have doomed his lover Chandra. Despite public proclamations that Condit is not a suspect, the Justice Dept., and the FBI and the Washington, D.C. police are digging deep into the congressman's dark and frightening background. A justice Dept.official disclosed to The Enquirer that after coldly dumping lovers, the congressman made shocking threats to keep them quiet. You know what I can do, he told them. And he pointedly warned some: You'll be sorry if you talk about me. Despite Condit's attempts to keep the lid on his violent secret life, investigators learned that two girls from California--both just 15 at the time--claimed they were sexually assaulted by Condit when he was a state assemblyman about 15 years ago, disclosed a course close to the case. Investigators have heard that they were terrified of Condit but made a police report anyway. But somehow the whole thing just went away. The girls were reportedly so scared of Condit that they fled California after the alleged assault and reported the crime to authorities in another state, the source divulged. One said she was raped, the other said she was sexually assaulted. Investigators have also learned from several women that Condit was into kinky sex--including rough sex. And those closest to the representative have witnessed his explosive temper when things don't go his way--and have gotten a frightening look at the hostility bubbling just beneath his surface. This has left some associates wondering what the congressman might be capable of in a fit of passion or rage, revealed the Justice Dept. source. FBI profilers have been putting together a profile of Condit for weeks now, based on information gleaned in the interviews of women he has had affairs with. Numerous people have described him as a 'Jekyll and Hyde' character. What's amazing is the control he seems to have over people, particularly women, who are reluctant to talk about him or cooperate in any way. A number of people have reported getting harassing phone calls and notes telling them not to talk to anyone about Condit. There are people who feel they'll be physically hurt if they say anything about him! How did this outwardly friendly preacher's son manage to keep the lid on his double life for so many years? The answer: cold-blooded intimidation, charged sources. Flammini--the congressman's former bodyguard and confidant of 25 years--spent hours answering questions for the FBI and gave The Enquirer explosive details of what they discussed behind closed doors. In a bombshell interview, Flammini told The Enquirer: Gary told me, 'I've been with more than a thousand women, easily.' His political buddies nicknamed him 'The Rooster.' His cheap flings are nothing more than a mind-control game. He tells women right off the bat, 'I'm a married congressman. We can have a lot of fun together--but you can't tell anyone about our secret rendezvous. 'We can get in a lot of trouble--and the Secret Service will get involved. We could end up in court and some of us would end up in jail.' But Condit didn't just stop there, Flammini said. He made the women feel like he has lots of power to hurt them. While Condit didn't make explicit physical threats, he didn't have to. The congressman--a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence--simply let them know he had ties to powerful government agencies which could be unleashed against them if they tried to expose him, claimed Flammini. Because of this Jekyll and Hyde complex, these women eventually become vary afraid of him. He's always been very moody--but his mood swings are borderline violent sometimes!

Condit: http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/NaltyNews/condit.htm _ http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23715 WorldNetDaily FRIDAY, JULY 20, 2001 Smith: Condit wanted multiple male partners Mistress says congressman fantasized about 'bunch of guys' during phone sex By Paul Sperry WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON - Anne Marie Smith, the United Airlines flight attendant who claims to have had a yearlong fling with U.S. Rep. Gary Condit, charges that the congressman talked about other men during phone sex, according to her lawyer. Washington police investigating the disappearance of intern Chandra Levy, who also was seeing Condit, know about the disturbing phone conservations, the lawyer says, and are looking closely at anyone Levy might have been involved with through the married California Democrat. Levy has been missing since April 30 or May 1, and police have not ruled out foul play. Smith, who was based in San Francisco before recently going on leave, had several long-distance phone conversations with Condit over the past year in which Condit allegedly urged her to participate with him in sexual acts with other guys, her lawyer James H. Robinson said. What was really unusual was his phone sex, in which he would talk about his sexual fantasies, Robinson told WorldNetDaily. He said he had friends who he wanted to get involved in strange things. Robinson says he doesn't know to which friends Condit was referring, saying only that they were male friends. He said Condit once intimated to his client over the phone: I have a fantasy about a bunch of guys and one woman - you. Michael Lynch, Condit's chief of staff in Modesto, Calif., did not respond to a request to discuss the phone sex charges. Robinson, speaking from his Seattle home, where Smith has been staying, asserted that the alleged phone sex was always one-way and that Smith never participated in, or egged on, his fantasies. He adds that Smith, although she says Condit is very charming and controlling, did not entertain any of Condit's alleged fantasies, and says his client does not know if Condit acted out his multi-partner fantasies with Levy or other women. Robinson, however, says that Smith suspected that Condit may have engaged in bondage-and-discipline activities at his Adams Morgan condo. On one visit to his condo, Smith noticed neckties tied together that were tied to the feet of the bed and shoved underneath the bed, Robinson said. They looked like they'd been there awhile. When Smith confronted Condit about the ties, he joked it off, Robinson said, saying Oh, oh, honey, I was just thinking about doing that with you. She didn't believe him, Robinson said. Also, he says that Condit made one closet in his condo completely off limits to Smith, making her suspect he kept bondage-and-discipline equipment in there. She had to use a hall closet by the front door for her suitcases, Robinson said. The lawyer, who's been licensed to practice in Washington state for three years, says he does not know whom Condit had in mind for the alleged orgies. I shudder to think, he said. But he notes that Condit had many Hell's Angels friends, some of whom are ex-convicts. He once told Anne that his brother, who's a policeman, would kill him if he found out he was going to a party thrown for a cop-killer, Robinson said. Condit's brother, Burl, is a Modesto police sergeant. Smith and her lawyer have accused Condit of pressuring her to sign a false affidavit in the Levy investigation, and have provided evidence to the U.S. attorney's office here.

-Caveat Lector- WIRE: 07/20/2001 4:59 pm ET Staff member found dead in Fla. congressman's district office The Associated Press FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) An office worker for U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough was found dead Friday in the congressman's district office. Preliminary findings from the medical examiner's office showed no foul play or any outward indication of suicide, said Police Chief Steve Hogue. Authorities identified the woman as Lori Klausutis, 28. She had worked for Scarborough since May 1999, said Mick Serrano, press secretary for the congressman. Her body was found on the floor behind a desk about 8 a.m., Hogue told the Northwest Florida Daily News. Authorities were not sure if she had been there overnight or had arrived early. Scarborough, a Republican, has two offices in the Florida Panhandle district he represents. It was unclear if he was in Washington on Friday or elsewhere. He announced last month he was resigning to spend more time with two young sons. A special primary election is scheduled Tuesday to select Democratic and Republican nominees for an Oct. 16 general election to replace him. Copyright 2001 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

[CTRL] SJMN: Generator threatening to cut back plant's output (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: DOC [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2001 8:59 AM Subject: Generator threatening to cut back plant's output Again, those in charge of the Peoples' Republic of California may have won yet another victory for the environment. This scenario is just so crazy I would not have believed it if I had not been following the environmental wackos out here in California. I thought everyone at CAS would just enjoy this latest turn in the California Energy Crisis, which Governor GrayOut Davis has blamed on Pres. W., and most everyone else except himself and his liberal wackos. Pittsburg is in the greater SF Bay Area region. Note the terms used in the article, such as Bay Area Air Quality Management District local residents and city officials, and Natural Resources Defense Council. __ Published Saturday, July 21, 2001, in the San Jose Mercury News Generator threatening to cut back plant's output BY STEVE JOHNSON Mercury News Two weeks after Gov. Gray Davis switched on Calpine's new 555-megawatt Pittsburg power plant, Mirant says it may permanently take off-line a greater amount of power because it can't meet new air pollution limits. If Mirant pulls the plug on 600 megawatts at its massive Pittsburg plant, it would effectively nullify the Calpine generator, one of three major plants that have come on-line in recent weeks. Davis has touted the plants as his administration's response to the state's energy crisis. Mirant, which wants to be excused from the tougher pollution limits, said it had told the state of its plans as early as April. But some state officials, who have been scrambling for months to speed up power plant construction to help keep the lights on in California, were stunned. ``That's pretty big news if they're going to shut it down indefinitely,'' said Stephanie McCorkle, a spokeswoman with the California Independent System Operator, which monitors the flow of power throughout most of the state. ``I haven't heard this. Obviously, we wouldn't want to see any megawatts go away.'' The revelation also surprised Davis' spokesman Steve Maviglio, who noted that even with the improving power situation in California, it would be a disappointment to see such a large amount of power taken off-line. ``It's significant, no doubt about it,'' Maviglio said. ``We're going after every megawatt we can get. As a broad policy, as much power as we can keep on-line is beneficial until we can get new plants up and running.'' If Mirant carries through with the threat, only part of its 1954-era, 2,022-megawatt Pittsburg plant would be affected. Of its seven generating units, three should have no problem meeting the new pollution limits, company officials said. But they don't want to spend the $80 million or more that it would cost to install equipment on the other four to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides, which contributes to smog. Firm under orders The company, which generates power at two other Bay Area locations, has been ordered to cut by nearly half the average hourly nitrogen oxide emissions at all three locations on Jan. 1. Even greater reductions are required by 2005. Given the relatively high operating costs involved in running the older Pittsburg units -- coupled with the expense of installing the new pollution controls -- Mirant officials said it may be more economical to shut down the four units. While stressing that Mirant wants to do everything it can to help the state get through its energy crisis, officials said they can't keep the units operating without an air quality exemption. ``We're very serious about shutting them down'' unless the company gets permission to exceed the emission limits, said Mark Gouveia, vice president and chief operating officer of Mirant's California division. ``We're not going to violate the law to run them.'' Mirant received an exemption in April from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District that lets its six small generators in San Francisco's Potrero Hill district operate for longer periods than the district previously had permitted. That was granted under a Davis executive order that relaxed some pollution limits to help avert blackouts. Under that deal, Mirant agreed to pay $20,000 per ton of excess nitrogen-oxide emissions. === But local residents and city officials have filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court to force the company to install new pollution control equipment on the Potrero Hill plants. Guarantee sought As a result of that case, Mirant officials say they not only want an exemption for the Pittsburg units, but also a guarantee that they won't be sued if they keep those four units running next year. === Teresa Lee, a spokeswoman with the Bay Area air quality district, said handing out exemptions for power plants is not something the district takes lightly. Still, considering how much power Mirant is thinking of taking out of
[CTRL] FOXNews: Condit's Fugitive Brother Taken Into Custody in Florida
-Caveat Lector- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,29991,00.html Condit's Fugitive Brother Taken Into Custody in Florida Darrell Wayne Condit Saturday, July 21, 2001 A fugitive brother of California Rep. Gary Condit was taken into custody early Saturday morning on a violation of probation warrant by an off-duty sheriff's deputy who discovered him at a Dania Beach, Fla. hotel. The deputy was working an off-duty security detail in the parking lot of the Red Carpet Inn when a van matching the description of one being driven by Darrell Wayne Condit pulled into the motel parking lot around 3:30 a.m., according to a press release from the Broward County Sheriff's Office. The deputy recognized the blue grey 1992 Toyota Previa from a flyer being circulated by detectives to all deputies countywide. He showed the flyer to the motel manager and asked him to see if Condit's picture resembled the man checking in at the registration desk. The manager signaled the deputy, indicating he thought it was Darrell Condit. When Darrell Condit returned to the van, the deputy approached him and asked for identification. He produced a Florida identification card bearing the name Stanley Buchanan. The deputy asked him step out of the van. When Condit refused, the deputy and his back-up removed him, placed him on the pavement and handcuffed him. A small amount of marijuana was removed from his right front pocket. Darrell Condit is being charged with violation of probation for the Key West warrant, resisting arrest without violence, false identification on a Florida ID card, driving on a suspended license, and misdemeanor possession of cannabis. He will be held without bail at the Broward County main jail, awaiting transport to Monroe County. Condit has become a point of interest in the Chandra Levy case, as the family of the missing intern and others press police to find out whether he had any role in her disappearance. Condit, 49, has a lengthy criminal record and has been jailed in five different states, according to sources. And it only makes sense to talk to him about the Levy case, say her family and a number of law enforcement experts. We think it would be fertile ground for investigation, a Levy family source told The New York Post on Wednesday. We know there's a criminal history. I'm sure [police] are going to work that angle. But police officials in Monroe County, Fla., an area that covers the Florida keys and the last place where Darrell Condit was known to reside, told Fox News Thursday morning they had not yet been asked by a single law enforcement agency to look for him. Investigators in Washington have talked about finding Darrell Condit to question him in the Levy case, but said they had no idea where to find him. He was last known to be in Florida several years ago. We're not ruling anything out, a police official told The Post, when asked if his agency would question Darrell Condit if it located him. The Levy case is still an active critical missing persons case. Darrell was last arrested five years ago in Florida for drunken driving, possession of marijuana, and driving with a suspended license. He violated parole as a result of those arrests and has been a fugitive ever since. He had already been in and out of prison several times before the 1996 arrest. Between 1994 and 1996, we saw him as regular visitor to our detention facility, according to Monroe County Sheriff spokesman Becky Herrin. After 1996, we didn't have any contact with him at all. It was not clear if Darrell Condit has been in touch with Congressman Condit over the years. Police this week have declined to discuss details of the relationship between Darrell and the California Democrat. Police in Modesto, where another Condit brother is a police officer, also declined on Tuesday to discuss specifics of Darrel Condit's case. But on Monday, the Los Angeles Times reported this about the fugitive: Darrell's rap sheet and needle-scarred body became a testament to a life that had spiraled out of control soon after the family put down roots in Ceres. He fell into the shadows of the San Joaquin Valley's methamphetamine nether world, court records show, and hopped from state to federal prison on convictions for drug possession, vehicle theft and trying to pass a forged government check. In the 1980s, he led Modesto police on a high-speed chase through city streets, convinced they were trying to kill him.

[CTRL] Military Involvement in UFO Abductions
-Caveat Lector- [Oldie, but goodie... --MS] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 16 Oct 1996 Subject: article on military involvement in abductions Dear Ed, This is a research article concerning alleged military abductions of UFO-abductees, military implants... I researched this topic since about one year and contacted researchers all over the world. Now I am presenting my preliminary findings of this very hot topic. I was supported from many researchers and victims. I think you may be interested in the article. Best regards Helmut Lammer Ph.D. (Space Scientist and Austrian MUFON representative) P.S. I'll try to publish the article in the british UFO-Magazine, NEXUS. Military Involvement in UFO Abductions By Dr. Helmut Lammer - Contents Letter Introduction Helicopter activity in connection with MILABs Alleged kidnappings by military/intelligence personnel Terrestrial implants Virtual Reality Scenarios and microwave hearing Otherworldly Journeys and military underground facilities Discussion Bibliography Acknowledgements - Dr. Helmut Lammer Space Research Institute Halbaerthgasse 1 A-8010 Graz Austria Privat address: Dr. Helmut Lammer Postfach 76 A-8600 Bruck/Mur Austria - Preliminary findings of Project-MILAB: Evidence for military kidnappings of alleged UFO- abductees By Helmut Lammer Ph.D. I. Introduction UFO-abductions are generally a very strange and complex phenomenon. For skeptics, journalists and the public it is hard to believe that abductions by alien beings have their basis in physical reality. Reports of alien beings entering bedrooms through walls, levitating abductees through closed windows into a waiting craft are hard to believe for the open minded researcher too. However, well respected researchers have shown that the core of the UFO-abduction phenomena cannot be explained psychologically, as hallucinations or mass delusions [1]. The passing decades of abduction research brought other changes. Recently some UFO-abductees told that they were also being kidnapped by military/intelligence personnel (MILAB) and taken to hospitals and/or military ground/underground facilities. Not many of the popular books on the subject of UFO-abductions mentioned these experiences. Especially disconcerting are the facts that abductees recalled seeing military/intelligence personnel together with alien beings working side by side in these secret facilities. The presence of human military and/or civilian personnel inhabiting the same physical reality as the alien beings exceeds the mindsets of the skeptics and the open minded researchers by several orders of magnitude. The skeptics would rather believe that stories of aliens and military personnel in governmental underground facilities are fabrications designed to elicit attention from conspiracy believers or as hallucinations in general. Researchers on the field of mind control suggest that these cases are an evidence that the whole UFO-abduction phenomenon is staged by the intelligence community as a cover of their illegal experiments [2]. The open minded researchers who fight for a reputation in abduction research ignore these stories, since they represent only a minor fraction in their files [3]. I think that abduction cases where the abductee reports that he/she was abducted by the military too, are very important for two reasons: If the UFO-community has an evidence that a covered military/intelligence task force is involved in the UFO-abduction phenomenon, we would know that this phenomenon represents a matter of national security. The alleged military involvement in the abduction phenomenon could be an evidence that they use abductees for mind control experiments, as test-targets for microwave weapons, or they monitor abductees and kidnap them too, for information gathering purposes during an UFO-abduction experience. If one of these points are correct, one can expect to run into early resistance when proposing congressional hearings about UFOs. For these reasons I started Project-MILAB and present in this article preliminary findings of this study. MILAB is the acronym for Military Abductions of alleged UFO abductees. I reviewed the relevant literature, contacted UFO and mind control researchers, MILAB-abductees and mind control victims all over the world and compared my findings with the comprehensive UFO-Abduction Study of Dr. Thomas Bullard [4, 5], the MUFON-Transcription-Project [6, 7] and the MIT-Abduction Proceedings [1]. Contents II. Helicopter activity in connection with MILABs My study indicates that generally MILAB-abductees are harassed by dark unmarked helicopters around their houses. The mysterious helicopter activity goes back to the late sixties, early seventies, where they showed an interest in animal mutilations but not for alleged UFO-abductees [8, 9, 10]. However, well known researcher Raymond
[CTRL] Fw: [UFOpals] Congress Hears Alien Life Testimony
-Caveat Lector- http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/news/AP-Life-Out-There.html New York Times 12 July 2001 Congress Hears Alien Life Testimony WASHINGTON (AP) -- Seven years after members of Congress rejected research into extraterrestrial life as a search for ``little green men,'' lawmakers encouraged scientists in their efforts to find life beyond the Earth. ``The discovery of life in the universe would be one of the most astounding discoveries in human history,'' Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said Thursday at a hearing of the House space science subcommittee. ``Funding should match public interest and I don't believe it does.'' Smith said that since funds for the search for extra terrestrial intelligence (SETI) were booted out of the federal budget in 1994, ``the SETI credibility has been enhanced.'' Four scientists appearing as witnesses said that in the last five years the concept that life exists beyond the Earth has been boosted by dramatic discoveries both on Earth and in space. Among the advances cited: -- At least 50 planets have been found in orbit of distant, sun-like stars in the last five years and researchers now believe that solar systems may be common through out the universe. Finding planets was considered an essential step toward finding life. ``All of these planets are Jupiter-size or larger,'' said Ed Weiler, NASA's associate administrator for space science. ``No Earth-like planets have been found, but we don't yet have the technology'' to detect planets the size of Earth in orbit of distant stars. However, Weiler said that a space observatory now being built will be able to search for the chemical signatures of life in the atmospheres of planets up to 50 light years away. -- Liquid water is considered an essential chemical for the development of life and it has been found now on moons of Jupiter and in orbit of at least one distant star. Also, there is strong proof that water was once common on Mars and there are plans to search beneath the Martian surface for evidence of water, the most likely place for life on the Red Planet. -- Detailed studies of galaxies suggest that the formation of planets and solar systems may be common. The Hubble space telescope has captured many images of stars surrounded by the dust and gas clouds thought to be precursors for planets. -- Researchers have found bacteria that live in the coldest of salt water, in the deep pressure and heat of volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean, and in the most acid of environments. Since life is possible in such hostile environments on Earth, then it may also have developed in extreme conditions that may exist on other planets. In 1994, some members of Congress ridiculed the SETI Institute and its efforts to detect radio signals from alien civilizations, calling the effort ``a search for little green men.'' The SETI concept fell so far out of favor that the National Science Foundation put a notation on its Web site that proposals for SETI research were not welcome. Christopher F. Chyba, a leader of the SETI Institute in California, said that since losing its congressional funding, the program has been supported by private donations, has about 120 employees, and is regularly searching for signals on two million radio channels using a major radio telescope in Puerto Rico. Chyba said SETI, in partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, is now building a $30 million radio telescope array that will be able to listen to signals from the nearest one million stars in many channels. And, said Chyba, the NSF has now removed its restriction on funding of SETI research. Proposals for SETI research now compete for funding ``on a level playing field'' with other research proposals, he said. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said it was impressive that SETI continued to thrive even though federal funds were cut off, and she said the federal government should not be biased toward the research. ``We need to let the federal agencies know that bias against SETI research is not favored,'' Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] BBC: Schizophrenia 'linked to lack of sun'
-Caveat Lector- http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_1446000/1446968.stm Friday, 20 July, 2001, 22:42 GMT 23:42 UK Schizophrenia 'linked to lack of sun' Some cases of schizophrenia may be caused by mothers being deprived of sunshine during pregnancy, an expert has suggested. It has been known for more than 80 years that there was a seasonal peak of cases in North America and Europe in March. Babies born between February and April are 10% more likely to develop schizophrenia than those born at other times of the year. It has been suggested that mothers who had had an infection, such as flu, during the pregnancy at the time the babies' brains were being formed were more likely to have schizophrenic babies. But Dr John McGrath, a psychiatrist at the Queensland Centre of Schizophrenia Research in Brisbane, Australia, suggests it could be the lack of UV light that is the key factor. The National Schizophrenia Fellowship told BBC News Online the theory was interesting - but that pregnant women who did not get much sun should not be blamed if their child developed the disease. Causes Around 250,000 in Britain have schizophrenia. There is no one cause for schizophrenia. Various genes and environmental factors could be involved, but scientists have not yet pinned down exactly how. But reporting Dr McGrath's research, the New Scientist says that season of birth accounts for more cases of schizophrenia than any other known risk factor - including genetic causes. Only a city birth is a higher risk factor than being born in the spring. Dr McGrath found that in Queensland, there is a peak in the birth of schizophrenic babies every three to four years. This does not coincide with the big flu outbreaks, but does happen with the same frequency that the El Nino weather system gives the area extremely gloomy weather and therefore a lack of UV light. The Southern hemisphere gets around 15% more UV light than the northern, which the scientists say would explain the European and American peaks. Vitamin link One of the things UV does is convert a cholesterol-like molecule in the skin to vitamin D. Dr McGrath said: Vitamin D is low in winter, low in cities and low in dark-skinned migrants to northern climates. Those are all high risk factors for schizophrenic births. However, it is not known what role vitamin D might play in the development of the brain, though experiments suggest it may be needed in building the brain and developing tissue. Tests on rats, carried out by Dr McGrath earlier this year, found pregnant rats deprived of UV light or vitamin D had offspring with enlarged ventricles, as seen in the brains of schizophrenics. But he warned pregnant women should not take vitamin D supplements because too much can cause birth defects. 'No single theory' Experts say both the UV light/vitamin D theory and respiratory infections during pregnancy may explain a proportion of schizophrenia cases. Gary Hogman, head of policy and campaigns for the National Schizophrenia Fellowship, said: Anyone looking for a single 'Big Bang' theory for the development of schizophrenia is likely to be disappointed. Schizophrenia remains poorly understood, but is almost certainly an umbrella term covering a range of conditions with a number of common symptoms. He said both genes and environmental factors were likely to be involved. Any research that seeks to shed light on these complex interactions is to be welcomed, but the results should not be presented as the definitive cause of schizophrenia. Nor should they seek to 'blame' mothers for 'causing' schizophrenia in their unborn children.

[CTRL] MH: Rodham cleared of ethics charges
-Caveat Lector- http://www.miami.com/herald/content/news/local/dade/digdocs/032611.htm Miami Herald Saturday, July 21, 2001 Rodham cleared of ethics charges Lawyer didn't violate rules by charging for pardon requests, Florida Bar says BY JAY WEAVER [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Florida Bar has cleared Hugh Rodham of violating ethics rules as a lawyer when he successfully lobbied his brother-in-law, former President Bill Clinton, for clemency on behalf of two politically connected felons. The two cases, for which the Fort Lauderdale attorney was paid $400,000, caused such embarrassment for the former president and his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, that they demanded Rodham return the money to his clients. The Clintons said they had been unaware of his financial arrangement. Rodham, of Coral Gables, gave back the money. ``What he did was not unethical for a lawyer to have done, because what he did was not the practice of law,'' Rodham's attorney, Andrew Berman, said Friday. He added that Rodham did not want to comment. The Florida Bar opened its probe Feb. 22 after reading media reports about Rodham's role in the pardons. Last month, the Bar's grievance committee in Broward County looked into whether Rodham's fees were improper and whether his conduct was dishonest. It concluded there was insufficient evidence to file a formal complaint against Rodham, 50, with the Florida Supreme Court. The committee's finding spared Rodham from a court hearing that could have led to disciplinary action, from a reprimand to a suspension, by the high court. ``It cannot be said that . . . accepting a contingency fee for assistance in a clemency proceeding is improper per se,'' attorney Barry Rigby, chief branch disciplinary counsel, wrote in a July 16 letter to various people who complained to the Bar about Rodham's conduct. The committee, consisting of four lawyers and two nonlawyers, reasoned that Rodham did not violate the Bar's ethics rules because the ``clemency process is not a judicial proceeding'' and because his case did not involve a ``compelling public interest.'' They noted that Rodham's two clients -- convicted drug trafficker Carlos Vignali and convicted vitamin businessman Glenn Braswell, who has a home in Coconut Grove -- did not complain to the Bar about paying the fees. Rodham collected $200,000 from each of them after former President Clinton pardoned them. Coral Gables attorney Jack Thompson, who is among the 45 people who filed complaints with the Bar about Rodham's conduct, said he was ``bitterly disappointed'' in the grievance committee's decision to close the investigation. ``Once again the Florida Bar dropped the ball,'' said Thompson, a vocal conservative who once ran for Miami-Dade state attorney against Janet Reno, who served as Clinton's attorney general. ``Clearly, Hugh Rodham was not doing legal work here,'' Thompson said. ``He was selling access to the president of the United States. That's what strikes most people from a common-sense standpoint. ``These pardons were supposed to be decided on the merits, not on access to the president. It engulfed Bill Clinton for the last two days of his administration and about three months into his retirement. Of course, it affected the public interest.'' Rodham's attorney said Thompson and the other complainants' motives were political. ``There is no question that the people who filed these complaints have been vocal in their criticism of the former president and his family,'' Berman said. ``They were going after the next best thing.'' Rodham's lobbying on behalf of Vignali and Braswell coincided with reports about the former president's pardon of Marc Rich, a fugitive financier whose ex-wife is a major Democratic fundraiser. The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan is investigating Rich's pardon as well as others among the 177 pardons and commutations issued by Clinton. The Bar, in Rigby's letter, indicated that it attempted to obtain information from the U.S. attorney in Manhattan as well as from the U.S. Department of Justice about Rodham -- but was turned down. ``If Mr. Rodham ultimately is found to have violated any laws with regard to these pardons,'' Rigby wrote, ``the Florida Bar will open a new file and seek discipline based on those findings.''

[CTRL] NewDawn: Martial Arts, Spiritual Practice, Alchemy, and the Hidden Legacy of the Samurai
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Nothing_s_Shadow.html From: New Dawn No.67 July-August 2001 Nothing's Shadow Martial Arts, Spiritual Practice, Alchemy, and the Hidden Legacy of the Samurai By PETER ALEXANDER There is a scene in Stanley Kubrick's '2001 A Space Odyssey' that he clearly and accurately saw as pivotal in the evolution of Humanity. One ape picked up an animal femur and smashed the other over the head with it. From a moment like that, early humans were plunged into a paradigm shift that has continued to push us into the space age. Two of Humanity's distinctive features, our capacity to use tools and our capacity to kill each other, effectively arrived simultaneously. Our families, our tribes, our nations, our cultures, our creeds and our civilisations derived and evolved as a protection from the chaos unleashed in that inevitable act. Our weapons made us the cooperative hunters from whom all animals fled, the highest predator. It also allowed us to prey on the top of the food chain, to kill each other. War, oppression, slavery and violence became features of the human condition. These are abominations that have yet to be redressed. Our nations, our economies, our religions, our medicines, our inventions, our laws and our governments, have all developed within this paradigm of violence; to keep us safe from the enemy, to keep us well, to get on top of adversity. All have at heart the dream to be free from threat, to freely pursue happiness and satisfaction. Unfortunately our institutions also have the will to freely violate the outsider, the foreigner, the poor, the disobedient, the infidel and unbeliever. If our laws are right, then other laws must be wrong. If our culture is wisest then others are barbarians. If we are losing, they must be winning. If we are peace loving then the others must be war-mongering. The price for this stage of our evolution has been enormous; fear and loathing, unnecessary death and violence, confusion, unhappiness, disease, persecution and slavery. The completion of it will only occur when we have overcome these characteristics in ourselves and in our society. The finest sword is never drawn. Enter the Warrior The warrior has accompanied humanity in its first steps out of the dreamtime into consciousness. As soon as the killer appeared, the necessity for the warrior arrived, to keep the peace, to protect the weak and meek, to resolve the conflict. The warrior became a cultural imperative, a crucial component of tribe, of nation, of creed and court. In every culture, the warrior is revered for his or her contribution to society. The farmer gave hard work and endurance, the merchant organisation and variety, the artisan cleverness and ability. The warrior, however, gave his life, the ultimate sacrifice for the community. Deeply ensconced in the culture and history of humanity, we see this archetype in ten thousand guises. The Knight Templar, St George and the Dragon, the Tai Chi master, the Gunslinger, the Cavalier, the Freedom Fighter, the Shaolin Monk, the Amazon, the Super Hero, the Assassin, the Sapper, the Terminator - we have an enormous selection of conceptual warriors, and we can all find one we can relate to, feel sympathy for. Yet behind these popular images of the warrior is an arcane wisdom from a separate reality. The Warrior has its own unspeakable culture, derived from living in the presence of death, hidden from any concept, never revealed to those who do not quest, and only shown to a few who do. The encounter with this separate reality is the source of our returned services clubs, our Tombs of the Unknown Soldier, our Remembrance Days, veterans who have had a shared and incommunicable experience in their encounter with death. They are forever etched by the event of war, the experience of horror and destruction. Many, touched by death's presence, are never the same again. For death can sometimes leave the body alive, taking mind, emotions, or spirit. However, as Miyamoto Musashi observed, killing is the same for old ladies, children and priests as it is for young and strong soldiers. The chaos and casualty of war often results from the fact that a tin hat, a rifle, and participation do not make a warrior. The True Warrior is Different It was observed by the ancient Ryu of Japan that the singular requirement of a warrior is a Resolute acceptance of Death. This is perhaps the most crucial understanding, the key to open the spiritual mysteries of the warrior. Why? The resolute acceptance of death changes how we think about things. It changes our considerations. Without it our mind will always strategise with our own survival as an imperative. Every bump in the road may change our plans. In any decision there is a safe choice indicating life and a dangerous choice, leading to our death. Without a resolute acceptance of death we will always do the safe thing. This is, from a warrior's perspective,
[CTRL] Fw: Gregg Braden - Unlocking the Secret of Heaven
-Caveat Lector- [If you're not familiar with Greg Braden, then you should read his bio below. --MS] The Prophets Conference - Victoria single event ticket information is now linked at http://www.greatmystery.org/victoriaconference.html GREGG BRADEN will be bringing his exciting work to The Prophets Conference - Victoria taking place in the beauty of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada during the weekend of August 17-19 2001. The following abstract regards Gregg Braden's excellent presentation at the up coming conference. This is followed by a brief biography of him and his work. - Unlocking the Secret of Heaven, Through the Science of Man By Gregg Braden COULD THE GREAT MYSTERY OF MODERN SCIENCE, AND THE GREAT SECRET OF ANCIENT SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS, BE ONE AND THE SAME? Three groundbreaking experiments in the late 1990's unveil dramatic and undeniable evidence of a newly discovered form of energy, a matrix, linking each member of our global family, creation, and the events of our lives in unexpected and empowering ways. Relegated to technical journals, and receiving little attention from mainstream media, these experiments, reported by leading research institutions of our day, shake the foundation of our predominant worldview, scientifically documenting that: 1. we communicate with our world through a previously unrecognized form of energy operating beyond the bounds of measured time and space. 2. our DNA directly influences our physical world through a form of energy that has been previously overlooked. 3. we influence our physical DNA through a non-physical, non-local form of energy that is directly linked to human emotion The loss of such an important understanding is attributed to two interruptions in the knowledge chain, and the loss of over 530,000 documents, that have historically linked our modern world to ancient wisdom. Physicists now suspect that it is in the higher dimensions of new creation theories, the quantum heavens of ancient traditions, that the four known forces of nature merge into a newly recognized force, the unified field, that weaves its way into each aspect of our lives. Ancient scholars invite us one step further, describing how these forces converge within our bodies creating the blueprints of peace, cooperation and healing relationships that become the reality of our lives. Is there any evidence that such a powerful inner technology exists? In 1898 the mysterious 14' 3 long by 3' 5 wide linen sheet, known as the Shroud of Turin, was photographically documented for the first time. The focus of the cloth was the faint and life-like image of a crucified man, precisely matching the Biblical descriptions of Christ's ordeal, that appeared to be burned into the fibers of the cloth. Since the time of the first photographs, improved techniques of imaging, and new discoveries in quantum physics, have offered fresh insight into the man in the shroud and the source of his image. In 1978, an unprecedented effort to unlock the mystery of the shroud began, as 40 scientists from the most sophisticated laboratories of our time, initiated a study that lasted for 5 years. Through his investigations into the mystery of the Shroud, Gregg Braden was given access to 63 of the more than 10,000 images that documented the Shroud of Turin Research Project(STRUP), and permission to share these images in a responsible, non-religious and non-denominational setting. This unique program provides an opportunity to view these rare images and determine for yourself how the mystery of creation is revealed within each of our lives. While we may never know precisely whose image is emblazoned upon the ancient linen, one fact remains clear: the man in the shroud experienced a process that Twentieth-century science has failed to explain. --- Gregg Braden, bestselling author and guide to sacred sites throughout the world, has been featured at Prophets Conferences and media specials exploring personal and planetary change. His inspiring sense of optimism is based in what he recognizes as the ancient technologies of compassion lost to the west 1,700 years ago, when they disappeared from our most sacred texts during the edits of the fourth century. Successful careers as an earth scientist and aerospace software engineer provide Braden with the ability to recognize and redefine the language of such texts. His compelling research invites us to change our world view from one of fear and uncertainty, to the empowering sense of peace that comes from clarity and purpose. Sacred pilgrimages into remote monasteries, high altitude temples and access to some of the oldest known texts of our past afford Braden the intimate language to express his empowering presentations that speak to our emotions, as well as our hearts and minds, offering a wisdom that allows us to make sense in the chaos of a changing world. Gregg Braden has written many
[CTRL] Glock and the UN (fwf)
-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 20, 2001 8:13 PM Subject: Glock and the UN LETTER Glock and the UN I received a phone call, which was a surprise... in response to my letter to Glock in regard to aligning themselves with the UN gun control scheme. Mr. Paul Jannuzzo, Vice President and General Council for Glock explained a few things to me that the original AP release did not. The most important was that Glock did not agree to cooperate with the UN registration plan. He said the only thing that Glock agreed to was to abide in SAAMI standards. (Note: SAAMI, Sporting Arms and Ammunitions Manufacturers' Institute. An association of the nation's leading manufacturers of sporting firearms, ammunition, and components. SAAMI currently publishes more than 700 voluntary standards related to firearm and ammunition quality and safety. http://www.saami.org) He also mentioned that marking firearms as outlined in the UN plan has been U.S. law for 100 years. I asked him about the secret marking requirement and he said only Massachusetts requires anything near that requirement. He also said that Glock would not voluntarily comply with any UN requirements unless it became U. S. law. He also said that he felt that the marking/identification requirement was aimed at those nations who are manufacturing firearms and have no regulations in regard to identifying firearms and that they were the ones that will probably not comply when the forum is over. I told him I appreciated his call but asked why there had not been a press release that would simply state that Glock does not agree with the U.N. plans. (To counter the AP release.) He said that they were working on a release. I said to him, that when little guys like me, who are attempting to secure our rights read an AP article like the one last week, it's not good. It's discouraging at the least. We need to hear what the media is not telling us. I hope their release is encouraging, not just clarification. I asked him if I could send out an e-mail message that related some of our conversation and he said OK. Of course, Mr. Jannuzzo speaks only for Glock and not Beretta or Sturm, Ruger. If anyone gets a hold of the press release please e-mail me a copy. Thanks. Any opinions?

[CTRL] NM: Peter Paul: Strip Bar Owner Supplied Clinton with White House Lap Dancers
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2001/7/21/140233 NewsMax Saturday, July 21, 2001 2:59 p.m. EDT Peter Paul: Strip Bar Owner Supplied Clinton With White House Lap Dancers Million-dollar Clinton Library donor Jim Levin, a former Chicago strip club owner who became Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign finance director last year, allegedly supplied ex-President Clinton with lap dancers at the White House, according to former Clinton money-man, Hollywood producer Peter Paul. Jim Levin became a very close friend of the president because he supplied female companionship to him in the White House, Paul told Judicial Watch officials Larry Klayman and Russell Verney, along with California radio host Jane Chastain, during Judicial Watch Radio's Saturday broadcast. Levin acted as an intermediary between the Clintons and Mr. Paul, who spent $2 million bankrolling a star-studded Hollywood gala fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign last August. The Clinton accuser told Judicial Watch Radio that after Levin's background as a one-time topless club owner was revealed in the press last year, he was told point-blank about Levin's role providing Clinton with women. He was introduced at one point to me as 'the lap dancer provider to the president,' Paul said. The Hollywood producer said that while Levin never personally told him he was supplying the Clinton White House with strippers, Democratic insiders seemed to know what was going on. There were a lot of people who were in the Democratic fund-raising community that were unhappy [Levin] was taking a leading role generating funds for the [Clinton presidential] library and for Al Gore's campaign. Peter Paul filed suit in California state court last month alleging that the Clintons reneged on promises they made in exchange for his financial help, noting that the former first couple never reported the bulk of his donations to the Federal Election Commission as required by law. He is being represented by Judicial Watch. Up until 1993, Levin owned Thee Doll House, the Chicago topless bar that helped popularize the lap-dance craze, which became a mainstay of the club's revenue. Levin is now an executive at a company called Tru-Link and also chairman of J.H.L. Enterprises. Last year, Levin was invited to spend the night at the White House twice - in June and on New Year's Eve - where he met personally with the then-president at least twice in the White House's private residence. Clinton himself has referred to the former strip bar owner as a close friend. I had a friend of mine from Chicago in to spend the night with me a couple of nights ago, the then-president, speaking of Levin, said at a New Jersey Senate campaign fund-raiser last year. He wasn't particularly political before I became president. We got to be very close. After the gala fund-raiser was over, Paul said Levin promised to help him get a presidential pardon for two 20-year-old felony convictions. He said he would be looking into it. As part of his lawsuit, the Hollywood producer alleges that former Democratic National Committee Chairman Ed Rendell suggested that he contribute an additional $200,000 if he wanted the pardon.

Subject: {{AwarComp}} ELF Sabotages Vehicles at Power Plant (KY, USA)!
EARTH LIBERATION FRONT CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SABOTAGING POWER PLANT
SITE IN KENTUCKY
___
URGENT NEWS ADVISORY
July 21, 2001
LAGRANGE, KY - The underground Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) has
officially claimed responsibility for sabotaging vehicles at the Dynegy
power plant in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 21, 2001.
A communique sent by the E.L.F. stated, Fifteen vehicles designed to rape
the earth had their tires slashed and flattened. Along with various
spray-painted ELF slogans and a dozen broken windows.
The Earth Liberation Front is an international anonymous organization that
uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to stop the destruction
of the natural environment and exploitation of life. Since 1997 in North
America alone, the E.L.F. have caused over $40 million in damages to
entities profiting from the destruction of life.
The communique continued, We wanted to send a clear message to Dynegy that
the people will not sit around idly while our earth and health is put into
jeopardy for the sake of a few wallets in Houston.
Dynegy like many polluters of the natural world have joined the trend of
attempting to appear green and environmentally concerned. While it is true
that Dynegy's natural gas-powered plants may be cleaner than coal burning
plants, they still release nitrous oxide, one of the main ingredients in
ground level ozone and smog. Dynegy also states they intend to follow all
laws in relation to the release of emissions. Yet just last year in the
State of Texas, Dynegy faced penalties for violating Texas air quality
standards in four counties. Chevron is one of Dynegy's main investors.
It was clear that the citizens of the community did not want this in their
backyard, and that they were spoon-fed lies by corrupt politicians, the
communique stated.
The E.L.F communique finished by stating, The power is in our hands to
take direct action against the power plant and other forms of corporate
imperialism. It is the last means to take, for all other options (legal and
peaceful) have been exhausted.

**A copy of the communique sent by the E.L.F. appears below. COMMUNIQUE
SENT BY THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT
PRESS RELEASE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC:
On early Saturday morning (July 21, 2001), eco-activists committed sabotage
against the Dynegy power plant in LaGrange, Kentucky. Fifteen vehicles
designed to rape the earth had their tires slashed and flattened. Along
with various spray-painted ELF slogans and a dozen broken windows. This
action was done in solidarity with all the people effected by this
corporate wasteland. We wanted to send a clear message to Dynegy that the
people will not sit around idly while our earth and health is put into
jeopardy for the sake of a few fat wallets in Houston. It was clear that
the citizens of the community did not want this in their backyard, and that
they were spoon-fed lies by corrupt politicians. The power is in our hands
to take direct action against the power plant and other forms of corporate
imperialism. It is the last means to take, for all other options (legal and
peaceful) have been exhausted.
No compromise in the defense of mother earth
The elves of the Earth Liberation Front Long live the ELF!

[CTRL] CBS: China Closes Down 2,000 Internet Cafés
-Caveat Lector- http://cbc.ca/cgi-bin/view?/news/2001/07/20/china_web010720 China Closes Down 2,000 Internet Cafés Written by CBC News Online staff © 2001 CBC All Rights Reserved 7-21-1 SHANGHAI, CHINA - Some 2,000 Internet cafés in China have been closed down. Authorities also ordered suspension of operations at 6,000 other cybercafés pending changes in operating procedures. The cafés are popular because they allow people to use computers anonymously and evade tough content laws for homepages and message boards. The Shanghai Daily says the clampdown, the second in little more than a year, is an effort by government to regulate the Internet service market. Internet bars have mushroomed in China since first appearing in big cities in 1997. Mini cyberbars can now be found in bookstores, barbershops, clothes stores and the butcher's. As for use of the Internet, China's laws broadly ban, socially destabilizing content, breaches of public security, divulging state secrets and Internet pornography. Web experts say authorities closely monitor Web site content in search for buzzwords like Taiwan, Tibet and the banned spiritual group Falun Gong. State media reports China had 26.5 million Internet users at the end of June, up four million since the year began.

[CTRL] FN: Police May Interview Condit a Fourth Time; ABC: Condit Case Theory #21,693; WP: Minister Recants Story About Condit; MB: DNC Organizing Pro-Condit Rallys?
-Caveat Lector- [Just how many more times are the police going to interview this freak? I say it's high-time for a Grand Jury to be convened...Felony Obstruction of Justice in a missing persons investigation, AT LEAST! --MS] http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,30069,00.html Police May Interview Condit a Fourth Time Fox News' Rita Cosby and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Discussions are underway between Rep. Gary Condit's attorney and Washington, D.C. police to set up a fourth interview regarding missing federal intern Chandra Levy, law enforcement sources tell Fox News. Police see some discrepancies in the timeline/schedule the California Democrat verbally shared with them, and they also want to ask him about a watch case he disposed of in a trash can hours before police were to search his apartment, sources said. Condit, 53, who has admitted to police he had an affair with Levy, was observed acting suspiciously by a man walking his dog in Alexandria, Va., a city along the Potomac River several miles south of Washington. The box was traced to a California woman who told police she had given the congressman a watch as a present and had a romantic relationship with him, a law enforcement source told Fox News. The U.S. attorney's office is probing this latest possible case of the congressman obstructing the investigation of the missing former Bureau of Prisons intern. After first being interviewed by Fox News, flight attendant Anne Marie Smith told the U.S. attorney's office that Condit urged her not to talk to authorities and asked her to sign an affidavit denying what she said was a yearlong affair. Law enforcement officials wonder what else Condit may have disposed of, not just the night of the voluntary apartment search, but in the weeks prior to that, and are very interested in questioning him. Meanwhile, police will talk to hundreds of taxi drivers at a scheduled event in the city's RFK Stadium Saturday. They will look at drivers' daily logs and pass out flyers to see if any one of them may have picked up missing federal intern Chandra Levy. There is no evidence that Levy rode in a cab the week she disappeared, but police know she doesn't have a car, said Asst. Police Chief Terry Gainer. Gainer said investigators have also completed an electronic background check of virtually everyone enrolled at the 24-year-old's health club, where the woman was last seen on April 30. A few club members had questionable backgrounds, which police are investigating. But none of them seem to be tied to Levy, Gainer said. On Friday, Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., filed a seven-page formal complaint with the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct outlining specific allegations of misconduct against Condit and reiterating his request for an investigation. The committee previously stated it would defer an investigation due to the ongoing law enforcement investigation. Two other Republicans have called for Condit's resignation. Michigan Rep. Fred Upton said the Californian has not cooperated with authorities investigating this tragic case. Condit's attorney has said that the congressman has cooperated fully. Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., said Condit should resign if it's shown he lied about an affair. Also on Friday, D.C. police found two more bones in the city's Rock Creek Park. The two dogs brought in to check out the bones did not react to the remains as if they were human, but they will be sent to a police lab anyway. Investigators have discovered animal bones at the park during previous searches for clues in the missing person case. Police say Condit, one of more than 100 people they have interviewed, is not a suspect in Chandra's disappearance. Levy canceled her health club membership on the evening of April 30 and has not been seen since. However, she spent several hours the following day using the computer in her apartment, police said. Condit, who is married, admitted to having had an affair with Levy during his third interview with police, a police source said. Police Chief Charles Ramsey said the search for Levy, who is from Condit's Modesto, Calif., district, is the most extensive missing person investigation ever mounted by Washington police. We've had some high-profile missing persons cases, but this one has gone on so long, Ramsey said. As the search for Chandra continues, Ramsey is rejecting criticism that the Levy case is hurting his department's murder investigations. Crime goes on, and we've got to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, Ramsey said. And, in an interview published Friday, Ramsey said there was a fairly significant chance Levy will never be found. We have not found anything that points us in one direction or another, he told USA Today, noting that detectives haven't turned up any evidence that she is alive or dead. At this point in any missing-persons investigation ... it's unusual not to even have that path. That's
[CTRL] James Van Praagh on Chandra's fate (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- [I've been on-lime and on various listserves for over ten years now, but I have NEVER seen a URL/link ANYWHERE LIKE the one below!! Hell, I had to CC myself to verify that it was real! --MS] - Original Message - From: Ray Heizer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 1:38 AM Subject: James Van Praagh on Chandra's fate Celebrity psychic James Van Praagh was on Judith Regan tonight. He _says_ he and four other psychics independently looked at the case and then compared notes on what they gathered via psychic means ... Highlights of things where he says they all agreed (as I recall them): The night of May 1, Chandra was lured into an official looking black SUV with a blue interior outside her apartment on the pretext of seeing someone with soft hands (a woman) she knew from Condit's office who Chandra thought may have come by to say goodbye or sent a car to bring her to Condit's House office. She was taken away by 3 men (henchmen) who are not professional hit men. Two vehicles were involved. She was strangled and driven to a place at least two counties away in Virginia* 2-3 hours northwest* of DC. She was buried in a farm field not far from the road behind some shrubs in very dark soil where cows are nearby. An mill house or stone house or decrepit house is also nearby. The route to the burial site is connected with the number 30 or route 30 and with several specific locations (Greenwood, Fayetteville and Germantown) he mentioned that lie on that route (he says). Dogs could find her he says. They won't find her in any DC park. She may have her attackers DNA under her fingernails since there was a struggle when she was strangled. The car had creme colored license plates, possibly NJ, with 3 numbers and 3 letters. All five believe she was pregnant. Other notes: Water close by. Condit's staff knows more. Car used was known in Condit's office. Believes Condit will 'come around' pretty soon. Condit is currently holding back a lot and is guilty. Van Praagh feels that Condit's staff took care of her for Condit as her demands mounted, and Condit really does NOT know exactly what happened, but certainly is not telling all he knows. Van Praagh says he could contact Chandra's spirit, but would only do so with the help and cooperation of her family. - * I think Van Praagh may have said Virginia when he meant Pennsylvania. Virginia is NOT 2-3 hours northwest of DC and I can find no Route 30 in NW Virginia even though he says he found it. There _IS_ a Route 30 that wanders completely across southern Pennsylvania, passing through Philadelphia, Lancaster, York, Gettysburg and Pittsburgh ... About four miles east of Route 30's intersection with I-81 (which is an easy and logical drive from DC, and where there is an exit), and one finds the three small towns of Greenwood, Fayetteville and Germantown clustered within 2 miles of each other ... see: http://www.mapquest.com/cgi-bin/ia_find?link=btwn%2Ftwn-map_resultsuid=u5 lc0lr0d3cbvale%3Abs0azx0z2SNVData=3mad3-0.fy%2528a1w94t_%2529ztsda7%253bpq %257cs9z%2Cp7%253b8aq.hqu%253b%2528U%2514DSRPBQE%2526%252bW%2513%2526%252b% 2510F%253d%253a%2528_F%2515%2528xhf7s5%253a_a042w0%253aa%253bteqej%253bxmwj s8%25241w-u.wf7%253bxcx5sf7.grfe%257cs%2524jdvnd%257cU%2514DSRPBQE%2526%252 bW%2513%2526%252b%2510Fpcat=aphoto=0MAP_AB_LABELS=WORK=map.x=187map.y =293mouse_mode=center Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] UPI: Israel to look into Arafat murder ad (http://www.vny.com/cf/news/upidetail.cfm
-Caveat Lector- UPI News Article: Israel to look into Arafat murder ad Monday, 23 July 2001 12:32 (ET) Israel to look into Arafat murder ad By SAUD ABU RAMADAN GAZA, July 23 (UPI) -- Israel's attorney general on Monday said he would consider opening a criminal investigation into an advertisement that urged anyone who had the opportunity to murder Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, the Haaretz newspaper reported. The paper said that a leader of a group called Zo Artzeinu, Moshe Feiglin, and three movement colleagues signed the advertisement, published in the Makor Rishon newspaper by the right-wing group. The ad called on any Israeli to point your rifle at his (Arafat's) plane when it flies over the Jewish settlement... The ad also urged members of the Israeli secret service to open fire immediately at Arafat's convoy whenever driving in the streets of Gaza and the West Bank. Legal officials said they doubted indictments could actually be submitted against either the Zo Artzeinu members or Makor Rishon's editors. Since a tougher anti-incitement law was recently defeated in the Knesset, said the paper, prosecutors lack the legal tools needed to indict the sponsors of the anti-Arafat message. But Member of Knesset Ran Cohen from Meretz Party urged Israel Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein to charge both the Zo Artzeinu members and Makor Rishon's editors. Rubinstein also ordered the Israeli army, the police and the Shin Bet security service to take firm, uncompromising action against extremist Jewish settlers who harm innocent Arab civilians. Meanwhile, Rubinstein reportedly convened a secret meeting last week with top security officials to consider ways of clamping down on vigilante actions that harm Palestinian civilians, including women and children, said the paper. Officials at the meeting considered various legal steps against extremists, particularly in the Hebron area, such as banning their entry to flashpoints on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Ha'aretz said that no decision had been reached regarding the imposition of such restraining orders on Jewish militants. -- Copyright 2001 by United Press International.

[CTRL] AFP: US lawmakers warned of dark winter in case of bioterrorist attack
-Caveat Lector- http://sg.news.yahoo.com/010723/1/19mqc.html Tuesday July 24, 7:11 AM US lawmakers warned of dark winter in case of bioterrorist attack WASHINGTON, July 23 (AFP) - A chilling scenario of possible national collapse was presented Monday to US lawmakers by a group of prominent security experts, who warned that a biological terrorist attack on US soil could bring the country to the brink of disintegration. The panel, which included former deputy secretary of defense John Hamre, Oklahoma governor Frank Keating and former senator Sam Nunn, presented their conclusions after holding a two-day exercise code-named Dark Winter, which featured a computer-simulated bioterrorist attack on three US states. Members of the House Subcommittee on National Security closely listened as participants painted a picture of the world's most powerful nation descending into chaos in a matter of several weeks. The game starts with a brief television report that about two dozen people checked into an Oklahoma City hospital with an unidentified illness. Doctors soon find the patients have smallpox, a highly contagious and deadly disease unseen in the United States since 1949. Similar smallpox cases are reported in Pennsylvania and Georgia. By day six, 300 Americans are dead and 2,000 others are infected. Cases of smallpox are reported in Mexico, Canada and Britain, according to the scenario. Meanwhile the US heath system is overwhelmed, the 12 million doses of smallpox vaccine quickly disappear, schools nationwide are forced to close, and public gatherings are limited due to fear of contagion. Droves of Oklahomans anxious to flee stream toward Texas -- but the Texas governor, eager to protect his own residents, closes the border and deploys the state National Guard. Shots are fired. As the standoff between Texans and Oklahomans deepens, a rift opens between federal and local authorities. Members of the US National Security Council suggest nationalizing the national guard, while state governors insist on keeping the local troops under their control. On day 12 of the scenario, when the death toll reaches 1,000, interstate commerce grinds to a halt and stock trading is suspended. Demonstrations demanding more smallpox vaccines turn into riots. The United Nations moves its headquarters from New York to Geneva, Switzerland. Less than two months after the outbreak, when the number of dead reach one million and three million more are infected, the president, played in the exercise by Nunn, gathers his top aide to considers imposing marshal law. Dead silence reigned in the hearing room as Hamre and Nunn presented their findings with the help of colorful emergency newscasts prepared by the nation's leading television broadcasters, who also took part in the exercise, which took place at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D.C. in June. I think we felt it would cripple the United States if it occurred, Hamre said. We though we were really gathering together to talk about the mechanics of government, Hamre said. What we ended up doing is thinking how we save democracy in America. To Republican Congressman Benjamin Gilman, scenarios like this no longer belong to the realm of science fiction. Sadly, events of the last few years, with bombings ... in New York, Oklahoma City, have transformed the bioterrorism debate from the question of 'if' to the seeming inevitability of 'when, he said. Nunn, who had sat on the Senate Armed Services Committee for more than two decades, said the exercise raised more questions than answers. If there is only one dose of smallpox vaccine for every 23 Americans, whom do you vaccinate? he asked. Do you seize hotels and convert them to hospitals? Do you close borders and block all travel? What level of force do you use to keep someone sick with smallpox in isolation? he asked. No clear answer was offered by those present.

[CTRL] AheadNews: FBI Has SM Sex Tape Involving Chandra and Condit With Eascort
-Caveat Lector- [Again, I cannot vouch for the credibility of AheadNews. --MS] X AHEADNEWS.COM X MONDAY JULY 23, 2001 14:04:39 ET XXX Law Enforcement Source: White Van in Dupont Circle May Match Condit Brother's Vehicle, FBI has SM Sex Tape Involving Chandra and Condit With Escort XXX Condit's Brother Now the Focus of the F.B.I. 7.19.01 UPDATE: The case of the disappearance of Chandra Levy is developing on several fronts now according to law enforcement sources. Apparently the FBI has in its possession a sex tape with Chandra Levy, Gary Condit and an unnamed escort sex service worker performing bondage and sexual acts of domination before a home video camera. This would give credence to the theory that investigators are working on about Condit's secret double life, that Chandra was killed in a sex game gone bad, and that the body had to be disposed. Also, after Gary Condit's brother was put in jail over the weekend on parole violations and interviewed for 4 hours, it has come forward that the tip given to police that there was a white van near the area trying to pick up young women may match a vehicle driven by Gary Condit's brother whose whereabouts are still not accounted for in late April and early May. This may explain why a high powered Washington attorney has been hired for the brother in Florida to take care of seemingly minor charges against him, on which he is being held without bond. Co-workers of Condit's brother at his construction site had seen him come back from his secret vacation in mid-May with a noticeable limp from an undisclosed injury. The FBI will be using their best profilers no doubt in the fourth interview this week to probe this and other questions. 7.19.01 UPDATE: Just when the Gary Condit saga seems to have nothing left to shock us, more just keeps on coming. To add to the fact that the National Enquirer tabloid magazine will report Friday that two 15 year old girls are coming forward about their sexual abuse at the hands of the Congressman, (then a California State Assemblyman) sources from California are now saying that Mrs. Condits health condition and her damaged thumbs are related to twisted sexual games related to hangings. The wife of the Congressman has sought 1998 Doctors medical treatment in San Jose for 12 scars on her rear-some half a foot long that appeared to be the product of a punishment with a lash. Add this to the blockbuster story that a custodian of the buliding that Condit lived in was forced to clean his apartment twice between May 2 and May 5 and was so bothered by what he saw on the premises that he turned over a gagging ball and part of a buckle to his immediate superior. This employee was promptly fired the next day. When this goes public look for this account to be the big story next week to keep giving this scandal story legs in the national media. The custodian/maintenance employee who discovered Gary Condit's kinky sex lair on May 2-5 and was so bothered by what he saw that he took potential evidence from the scene of Condit's apartment to show to his superiors in the apartment complex may be the key to placing Chandra Levy in the building after her disappearance. The employee who was fired the next day after expressing concerns of the evidence he saw in the bathroom sex closet of Gary Condit is talking to the tabloids and will reveal that part of the evidence in question is a black leather bra strap that he took out of the Congressman's apartment. Whether it is Chandra's or who has possession of this possibly damning evidence and what DNA or blood is on it is not yet known, but why an employee raising questions about what he saw was fired the next morning is curious indeed. 7.17.01 UPDATE: Insiders can reveal now that the D.C. Police has confiscated items in Rep. Gary Condit's forbidden bathroom closet that coupled with DNA evidence collected already will blow the roof off the case of the disappearance of Chandra Levy. The discovery of the sexual related inventory hidden in Condit's closet that mistress Anne Marie Smith was forbidden to look at will astound the followers of this national media story. Police investigators now believe that the because of the graphic nature of the material in this closet that Chandra Levy was accidentally killed in a sex game situation. How much evidence the authorities have in the apartment of a body removal by Condit or another party is not known yet, but the Congressman appears to have made a fatal mistake by letting the DC Police search his apartment, instead of making them get a warrant.

Little Rock, Ark.-James Howard Hatfield, whose biography of U.S. President George W. Bush won national attention before its publisher withdrew it over the author's criminal past, died in a motel in what police called a suicide yesterday. Police said Mr. Hatfield, 43, died of an apparent drug overdose. His body was found on Wednesday in a motel in Springdale, about 320 kilometres northwest of Little Rock. Mr. Hatfield wrote the unauthorized biography, Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President. -- Mark Vallen of Yahoo group Change-Links writes: I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist... but. In the immediate aftermath of the violence at the Democratic National Convention, Mr Hatfield wrote a personal e-mail to me requesting the use of a Photograph I had taken and posted on my Website. He graciously offered to pay me by sending me a copy of his book Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President. Upon it's arrival I read the book from cover to cover. Hatfield's main allegation was that Bush Jr. had been arrested for possession of Cocaine in 1972... and the author cited three anonymous sources verifying the charge. Further, Hatfield claimed that the Bush Family's influence had any record of this arrest expunged. ST. MARTIN'S PRESS published 104,000 copies of Hatfield's book, and just prior to that publisher recalling the books... it hit the New York Times hardcover nonfiction best seller list. The Bush Family was outraged and denied the allegations. Hatfield then became the target of a public campaign to discredit him. The Dallas Morning News and The Washington Post both reported that Hatfield was convicted in 1988 of plotting to kill a co-worker. TEXAS prison officials confirmed that a man named James Howard Hatfield went to prison in 1988 for such a crime (and was paroled in 1993). Hatfield insisted that he was not that man, and that it was a case of mistaken identity meant to destroy his reputation. He stuck by his allegations and found another publisher (Soft Skull Press). His book was printed once again and put back into circulation... but on a much smaller scale. In 1999, Bush Jr., continuing his pleas of innocence said of Hatfield, I may not be finished with this yet, It's outrageous.

[CTRL] AP: Colombia Drug Policy Questioned
-Caveat Lector- www.lawg.org/colombia.htm The groundswell against Plan Colombia comes as the U.S. Congress debates new aid for Colombia and Washington prepares to deliver sophisticated helicopters as part of a $1.3 billion aid package approved last year in support of the program. ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday, 20 July 2001 Colombia Drug Policy Questioned By Jared Kotler BOGOTA -- President Andres Pastrana's U.S.-backed offensive against drug crops has hit a flurry of domestic opposition from critics who say aerial spraying harms people and the environment, punishes poor farmers and has failed to stem drug trafficking. The groundswell against Plan Colombia comes as the U.S. Congress debates new aid for Colombia and Washington prepares to deliver sophisticated helicopters as part of a $1.3 billion aid package approved last year in support of the program. The first three of 16 Blackhawk helicopters are expected to arrive by the end of July and the remainder by December. The helicopters will give greater mobility to U.S.-trained army battalions assigned to destroy jungle drug laboratories and provide security against rebel fire for aerial spraying missions using crop-killing herbicides. The State Department also expects to deliver four additional crop-dusting planes next month and eight more by February. Colombian and U.S. officials have given repeated assurances that the eradication push only targets large-scale coca and opium plantations operated by drug traffickers. They say the chemical used, a variant of the popular backyard fertilizer Roundup, is ecologically harmless and safe for humans. But environmentalists, human rights activists and small farmers who say their crops are also being hit remain staunchly opposed. Their arguments are now echoing on the political level, where governors from the main drug-producing states, Colombia's top human rights official, the nation's comptroller general and a leading lawmaker from Pastrana's own party came out this week against the policy. Conservative Party Sen. Juan Manuel Ospina said Thursday he plans to introduce legislation sharply scaling back forced aerial fumigation, requiring more emphasis on aid to help farmers switch to legal crops, and decriminalizing small drug plots. Fumigation ''has been absolutely ineffective in reducing or eliminating the areas under cultivation,'' Ospina said in an interview. At a congressional hearing Wednesday, Comptroller Carlos Ossa called for fumigation to be suspended altogether, saying it is proceeding without an approved environmental protection plan. Federal human rights ombudsman Eduardo Cifuentes also demanded a stop, adding that government offers of compensation for poor farmers are lagging far behind the spraying. Earlier in the week, six governors from some of the country's main drug producing states forced a meeting with top officials in Bogota in which they warned current policies could provoke mass protests in their regions. So far, Pastrana shows no signs of bending. Spraying of heroin plantations continued this week in Cauca and Narino, even as those states' governors were in Bogota registering their protests. Anti-narcotics police chief Gen. Gustavo Socha blamed the criticism on ''drug traffickers'' spreading disinformation. Any scaleback in forced eradication would likely put the government at odds with Washington, whose number one priority in Colombia is the drug war. Colombia is the world's leading cocaine exporting nation and a major supplier of heroin to the United States. U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson on Wednesday reaffirmed aerial eradication as a ''key'' to its aid program. The embassy has commissioned a study it believes will refute claims that the spraying is causing respiratory and skin ailments among farmers and their families. The U.S. Congress last week began consideration of an $882 million follow-up aid package floated by the Bush administration for Colombia and its Andean neighbors. Concerns about fumigation _ and the military's human rights record are expected to arise. A leading conservation group, World Wildlife Fund, sent a letter to members of Congress last week warning that fumigation threatens Colombia's biodiversity and urging a moratorium ''at least until an adequate environmental impact study has been conducted.'' The latest controversy follows what U.S. officials are calling a successful start to the eradication push, which began late last year in Putumayo, the largest coca-growing province. Since January, according to official figures released here this week, spraying has done away with 128,000 acres of coca more than one-third of the amount U.S. officials estimated was growing in Colombia at the end of last year. Gonzalo de Francisco, the government's point man for Putumayo, said he has also signed up more than 40,000 peasant families in agreements to manually eradicate their coca in return for aid to grow legal crops.

[CTRL] OBSERVER: Bush to raise 'private army' in drugs war
-Caveat Lector- Underlying the concern over the escalation of Plan Colombia is a suspicion that the entire nature of the war on drugs there is threatening to take a dangerous turn in favour of overt military assistance for the Colombian military against left-wing guerrilla groups who, some US a nalysts claim, benefit most from cocaine production. THE OBSERVER [U.K.] Sunday, 22 July 2001 Bush to raise 'private army' in drugs war Back-door military escalation in Andes By Peter Beaumont PRESIDENT Bush is planning to escalate the US war against drugs from South America with new legislation that its critics say will allow him to deploy a 'private army' of former US servicemen across the region. The disclosure comes amid mounting evidence that the controversial Dollars 1.3 billion Plan Colombia, a military support programme initiated by the Clinton administration to sever the supply of Colombian cocaine, has had a negligible impact on supplies to US cities. Experts say coca production has been switched to neighbouring Bolivia, Venezuela and Peru. The claim that Bush is seeking permission to deploy his own private army - unanswerable to congressional oversight - comes as Congress prepares to vote on proposals to inject cash into Plan Colombia by lifting a cap on the number of privatised military personnel allowed to be deployed there. The cap, which was introduced following fears that the US could be dragged into a new Vietnam war, limited the total to 500, in a purely training role. Congress also insisted that no more than 300 non-military personnel, largely working for private companies such as Dyncorp as coca- spraying pilots, could be in Colombia at any one time. However, a new Dollars 676 million programme - the Andean Counterdrug Initiative - would allow the Bush administration to deploy as many former servicemen as it wanted. Questions about American counter-narcotics efforts in the Andean region have risen sharply since April, when Peruvian jets shot down a US missionary aircraft over the Amazon river, believing it was laden with drugs. The Peruvian fighter was guided in for the attack by a radar plane operated by a CIA contractor. Bush's personal involvement in lifting the cap was made clear by an official who told the Miami Herald on Friday that 'the President requested this'. There are 171 American civilian contractors in Colombia now, involved in activities ranging from aerial fumigation and military training to administering judicial reform programmes and helping internal refugees. Concern has also been raised by a provision in the Andean Counterdrug Initiative legislation exempting State Department contractors from a section of the Foreign Assistance Act that specifically bans them from buying weapons and ammunition with federal funds. The new legislation would allow the companies to purchase weapons and ammunition for use in the Andean region for 'defensive pur poses', a definition, say critics, open to widespread abuse. Underlying the concern over the escalation of Plan Colombia is a suspicion that the entire nature of the war on drugs there is threatening to take a dangerous turn in favour of overt military assistance for the Colombian military against left-wing guerrilla groups who, some US analysts claim, benefit most from cocaine production. That suspicion has been fuelled by a report commissioned by the US Air Force from the Rand Corporation think-tank, which says 'drugs and insurgency are intertwined in complicated and changing ways, but the former cannot be addressed without the latter'. It concludes that efforts to reduce the drug supply in Colombia have been ineffective because America has focused more on 'counter-narcotics' than 'counter-insurgency' aid. 'We are worried that this new legislation would give the President sole control over a private army in the Andean region without any accountability to Congress,' Nadeam Elshami, a staffer with Democratic Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, told The Observe r last week. Schakowsky has tabled an amendment seeking to keep the cap on civilian military contractors in the new legislation. 'It's a back-door way of escalating our involvement in the Andean region and providing additional money to private military contractors who have not been effective.'

[CTRL] Reu: U.S. Nuclear Fugitive Arrested in Spain
-Caveat Lector- Monday July 23 8:43 AM ET U.S. Nuclear Fugitive Arrested in Spain MADRID (Reuters) - A U.S. citizen convicted of selling nuclear arms parts to Israel has been arrested in Spain after 16 years on the run, police said on Monday. Richard Kelly Smith, 71, escaped before being sentenced in the United States on 15 counts of exporting nuclear arms technology and 15 counts of falsification of documents. He was picked up two weeks ago in Malaga on Spain's southern Costa del Sol, where he had been living since 1985, police said. Spain's High Court will now consider whether to extradite him, they added. ``In 1985 Los Angeles authorities filed an international warrant for (Smith's) arrest and extradition ... so we are complying with that request,'' a spokesman for the national police in Malaga said. ``The case has been transferred to the High Court.'' Smith had previously been chairman of a Los Angeles-based company that developed microchips called ``Kryptons,'' which are involved in the firing mechanism of nuclear weapons, police said. Between 1980 and 1982 he falsified documents so that his company could sell the Kryptons to an Israeli company for an undisclosed sum. The U.S. embassy in Madrid declined to comment. Spain's Justice Ministry as recently as 1992 received a ''verbal petition'' from Washington for Smith's arrest and extradition, a Justice Ministry spokesmen said. The spokesman added that since Smith's arrest, Washington has made no formal extradition request.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,45491,00.html Pentagon Shuts Down Websites Associated Press 5:03 p.m. July 23, 2001 PDT WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Pentagon temporarily shut down public access to its Web sites Monday to make sure they are protected against a new computer threat known as the Code Red worm. Most (Department of Defense) Web sites will not be accessible by the public until this worm no longer poses any threat to DOD networks, spokeswoman Lt. Col. Catherine Abbott said. Pentagon computer security experts were instructed to install repair programs, commonly known as patches, to make their computers impenetrable to the worm before making the sites viewable again to the public. The sites remained visible to military personnel who accessed them from their work computers, Abbott said. Some Defense Web sites, such as the DefenseLink hub, remained operational Monday evening. But others with the .mil address didn't respond. The worm, similar to a computer virus, has already infected at least 225,000 computers. It defaces Web sites with the words Hacked by Chinese. It has spread more quickly than any worm in recent history. The White House took precautions against it Thursday evening, changing its numerical Internet address to dodge the attack. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Infrastructure Protection Center issued a warning, calling the worm a significant threat that could degrade services running on the Internet. Because Code Red spread so quickly, security companies haven't been able to figure out who wrote and released it. Code Red exploits a flaw discovered last month in Microsoft (MSFT) software used on Internet servers. While a software patch was made available to correct the flaw, many computers haven't been updated. Vulnerable computers are those running the server software with the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 operating system. Only computers set to use the English language will have their Web pages defaced. Since the worm surfaced, another variant has been found that doesn't deface Web pages but spreads even more quickly. Code Red also can damage smaller networks by affecting the Internet routers used for data traffic control. Since the worm targets Internet servers, mostly used by businesses, few individual computer users have been affected.

[CTRL] IMC: Unprovoked, Violent Police Attack in Genoa
-Caveat Lector- http://emperors-clothes.com/docs/unp2.htm Indy Media http://uk.indymedia.org www.tenc.net [Emperor's Clothes] Unprovoked, Violent Police Attack in Genoa By Vincent Pang 22 July 2001 GENOA - Tonight the carabineraie raided the IMC [Indy Media Center] as many people already have probably seen on the newswire already. As we saw it the carabineraie started by pulling up about 2-300m up the road in initially around four to five vans. They got out and started to jog down the street in riot gear and batons. People saw them and started to enter both buildings - the main GSF (Genoa Social Forum) building (where the Indy media Center was also located) and the school opposite which was part of the GSF facilities. The school had been a safe space for people to sleep and chill for a few days. In the school there were a diverse bunch of people. As the convergence center was quite close, many people came to get information on the counter conference and the solidarity marches and also to use computers. Many people who slept in the school were participants from the marches, a group of pacifists from Zaragoza had come to the school to sleep just fifteen minutes before the arrived, (as it was the only really safe space to sleep) and ended up with eight hospitalised and more detained by the carabineraie. The carabineraie, having reached the school and the GSF building started to arbitrarily beat people with the batons as people scrabbled to get inside either building. The door were closed on the GSF building but they entered from, not the main door, but one which was not secured at the side - not secured as this was just not expected. I can only tell from what happened now from the IMC as I was there working. The IMC tried to calm people down as the carabineraie came in and demanded that all of us stand spread -eagle against the wall for about 30 minutes whilst the people wandered in and out of the rooms a bit listlessly, looking for anything incriminating - as if. They then moved everyone into one area and everyone had to sit down for another twenty minutes or so. What they found and took was some of the equipment like mini disks videos and disks and searched many peoples bags. They also took some salad knives from the kitchen and a couple of gas masks. Later after it was all over they said to the press that they saw quite a lot of black clothes inside the rooms, well excuse me. Apparently opposite the police took all available passports and wallets and diaries from peoples bags. The carabineraie tried to take one of the IMC people but another journalist with G8 accreditation stepped in and although he was pushed back the carabineraie left the other guy alone. They finally left when a women MP who was in the building came to our floor and had powers to make to carabineraie leave - due to the fact that we were an international group and also journo/press. The police left, but we discovered that the people on the other floors of the GSF building had had freedom to roam after only being held on the floor for a short time. Also the GSF Lawyers office was ransacked and the computers destroyed, hard drives taken and the phones smashed. So much for the law. The computers conatined all of the info relating to legal aid etc over the last few days. The carabineraie obviously had their purpose here, one mission being to search the IMC floor to find something to discredit the IMC media movement. After they left people immediately checked their gear and recorded what was taken, and then the keypads started burning. Then we discovered the fucking mass beatings next door where people were already sleeping and others had been eating and talking, many IMC people stayed outside to somberly record the devastation and support those in shock and disbelief at what had just occurred. Tears and shouts of assinos followed the police who for another half an hour or so were still blocking off exits. Many people outside had been chanting let them free whilst we were up against the wall and the school was being emptied with stretcher after stretcher of young men and women being carried out. The story from across the street in the school was that when police arrived they grabbed the first people they could outside and beat them heavily. One of the first to be beaten was a UK reporter who was smashed repeatedly by a group of them. One held him by his neck while the others beat him with clubs. Unconscious he was left in the street in a pool of blood (later when we were allowed out of the building the blood had been cleaned off the pavement). Their intention was clear then from the start. Inside the building when police entered many people inside raised their hands but the police just started smashing windows. One group then ran to the third floor and managed to escape out of an upper window and down scaffolding (the building is a bit of a building site under repair) - they were lucky. The others inside were beaten
[CTRL] JurusalemPost: Congress bill would protect Temple Mount
-Caveat Lector- http://www.jpost.com/Editions/2001/07/22/News/News.30888.html The Jerusalem Post Newspaper Online News From Israel News Article 7/22/2001 Congress Bill Would Protect Temple Mount In a bipartisan bid to stop the destruction of ancient Jewish artifacts located under the Temple Mount, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) introduced legislation into Congress on Thursday that would eliminate aid to the Palestinian Authority should it continue to authorize the removal of archeological antiquities from Judaism's holiest site. Introduced with 16 co-sponsors, the Temple Mount Preservation Act was lauded by Jewish leaders here who are have become increasingly concerned with Palestinian leaders' claims that Jewish history at the Temple Mount is fabricated, and their efforts to excavate and destroy such history in Jerusalem's Old City. Calling the destruction one of the most unprecedented attacks on religious heritage of our time, Cantor stated at a press conference that under the current circumstances, thousands of years of Judeo-Christian heritage is under siege at this most sacred of sites to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The legislation, which calls on the Bush administration to prohibit assistance to the PA or its instrumentalities unless the president certifies that no excavation of the Temple Mount in Israel is being conducted, states that the massive excavations and unsupervised destruction of artifacts are undeniable affronts to the concept of religious freedom and tolerance that must be respected in order to achieve and maintain peace in the Middle East. After the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, the Wakf, or Islamic religious trust, began authorizing widespread bulldozing and destroying of antiquities dating back to the First Temple period, which have been dumped in the Kidron Valley nearby and, according to some reports, sold on the black market, in early 1998. Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, the PA-appointed mufti of Jerusalem and chief Muslim administrator of the site, was referred to by Cantor in the legislation as an anti-Semite. Sabri has publicly, and repeatedly, denied any Jewish link to the Temple Mount. At the Camp David peace summit last year, PA Chairman Yasser Arafat also reportedly rejected any Jewish claims to the Temple Mount. According to Cantor's legislation, the actions of Yasser Arafat and the PA threaten to eliminate all historical evidence of Jewish activity on the Temple Mount and serve to discredit Israeli claims of sovereignty over the Temple Mount. The US is set to provide the Palestinians with $125 million this year as part of a three-year, $400 million package approved by Congress in 2000, as well as an additional $75m. in indirect aid through the US Agency for International Development. I think it's important that Congress understand that the Palestinians can't be trusted on many levels, not the least of which is that they can't be trusted to preserve the important religious sites in Jerusalem, said Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), one of the bill's co-sponsors. I think we need to hold them accountable and the Cantor legislation seeks to do that, he said. For a Christian member of Congress and co-sponsor, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Indiana), the desecration of Jewish history on the Temple Mount is an outrageous example of an attempt by the PA to show no regard to the important claim that both Jewish and Christian history have on that site. When you think of the millions of believing Christians and Jews across America who cherish that site, and that $125 million is being used to excavate the site without any regard to its unique history and without any regard to standard archaeological protocol, it is totally unacceptable, said Pence. We are not an honest broker in the Middle East, we are a friend of Israel in the Middle East, and this is precisely the moment that a friend and partner writing the checks can speak to the recipient of those checks. Jewish leaders praised the legislation as a step toward raising awareness of the destruction that is currently occurring in Jerusalem. This legislation sends a very important message, said Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, that all those who want to see the site preserved are not going to assist those responsible for that desecration.

[CTRL] LAT: Global Warming: Fear Growing Over a Sharp Climate Shift
-Caveat Lector- http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/0713-02.htm Global Warming: Fear Growing Over a Sharp Climate Shift By Usha Lee McFarling July 13, 2001 Los Angeles Times AMSTERDAM -- As climatologists gather here this week to discuss new research on global warming, a disquieting idea has been gaining currency -- the possibility that small shifts in global temperature could lead to sudden and abrupt climate changes. What makes such projections important is not their likelihood, which is uncertain, although a growing number of scientists believe that sudden changes in climate are a possibility. Instead, the chief significance for policymakers and the public lies in what the new research suggests about scientific uncertainty and risk. Until recently, much of the climate debate has centered on whether global warming is occurring at all. Most climate models had assumed a slow, steady increase in temperature and forecast gradual changes with gradual effects. But newer, more sophisticated models suggest that the Earth's climate system is nonlinear -- in other words, small changes can have large effects on everything from ocean and land temperatures to drought and monsoon patterns, icecaps and tropical rain forests. Though loath to cry wolf, more and more experts are beginning to publicly discuss--and personally fear-- changes that are far more dramatic, and potentially faster, than those at the center of discussion so far. Some events could permanently alter life on Earth. For example, one projection is that melting Arctic ice could cause a flow of fresh water into the North Atlantic that would shut down the Gulf Stream this century. That warm current moderates the European climate, and turning it off would make a swath of land from London to Stockholm miserable. Sometimes very small, innocent changes can trigger huge changes, said Will Steffen, executive director of the Sweden-based International Geosphere- Biosphere Program, or IGBP, which is coordinating the Amsterdam conference. Sometimes you hit it with a hammer and nothing happens. We simply do not know. We are heading into uncharted waters. In the global warming debate, a chief argument of industry, joined by Bush administration officials and some scientists, is that the U.S. and its allies should not rush into potentially costly measures to head off possible climate change because our knowledge of the subject is limited. Many scientists, however, say that argument is precisely backward. The possibility of sudden, dramatic climate shifts means that, although there is a risk that current models are too pessimistic, there is also a substantial risk that they are too optimistic. A prominent advocate of the go-slow school of thought is Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard- Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, an expert on how the sun and its heat output have varied through time. Her research is funded by federal agencies but she accepts money -- to travel around and speak -- from firms that have advocated a go-slow approach on global warming. She argues that computer models are unreliable, exaggerate warming trends, fail to adequately take into account natural fluctuations in temperature and do not explain why no warming has been seen in the upper atmosphere. The best evidence says [climate change] is slow to work, so we have a window of opportunity, she said. As advocates of that school of thought note, many climate scientists a decade ago feared that global warming could cause a catastrophic melting of the massive West Antarctic ice sheet. Such an event would release huge amounts of water into the seas, devastating many of the world's highly populated, low-lying coastal areas. Recent studies, though, suggest that the Antarctic icecap is stable -- and actually growing as more precipitation falls there. Other scientists argue that because knowledge is uncertain, it is crucial to begin cutting emissions of carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases to slow the rate of climate change. We could be either under- or overestimating the effect of human activities on climate, said Robert Watson, chief scientist at the World Bank and head of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. So why should we be complacent? Paul Crutzen, an atmospheric chemist working in Germany who won the Nobel Prize for explaining the hole in the atmosphere's ozone layer, makes a similar point. There is not enough room to take chances with the climate, he argues. The chief cause of the hole, which appeared over Antarctica in the final decades of the 20th century, was chlorofluorocarbons -- chemicals used as refrigerants and as propellants in spray cans. Had chemists earlier in the century decided to use bromine instead of chlorine to produce coolants -- a mere quirk of chemistry -- the ozone hole would have been far larger, occurred all year and severely affected life, he said. Avoiding that was just luck, he said, noting that no scientist had
[CTRL] AP: US Military to Cut Bases in South Korea!
-Caveat Lector- From: Honolulu Advertiser Wednesday, July 18, 2001 Associated Press Military to cut bases in South Korea WASHINGTON - The U.S. military could start closing and consolidating bases in South Korea as early as next year, handing back to the country a substantial amount of land the United States has been using for decades, the Pentagon said yesterday. Officials gave no details. But the military newspaper Stars Stripes reported that a plan in the final stages of negotiations calls for cutting from 41 to 26 the number of installations used by forces on the southern half of the divided peninsula. Closing what it called 15 major installations would mean returning some 30,000 acres of land over the next 10 years, the newspaper reported in its Pacific edition yesterday. In turn, the United States would be given some 600 acres of land on which to move some troops and equipment. A plan for consolidation was ordered by former Defense Secretary William Cohen in September. In a joint communique after meeting with his South Korean counterpart, Cohen said he had authorized U.S. forces in the country to begin work on an outline for consolidating installations and returning a substantial amount of land. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. Craig Quigley said he couldn't confirm numbers in the Stars Stripes story, which quoted Col. Robert E. Durbin, assistant deputy chief of staff for the forces in Korea. I don't think anybody can predict what the final number will be, Quigley said. But the hope is that at the end of the day you're going to have a more efficient structuring of the U.S. forces that are stationed in South Korea. He stressed that the plan does not include a cut in U.S. troop strength. U.S. troops have been stationed in South Korea since the 1950-53 war between communist North Korea and the now-democratic South. Some 37,000 Americans remain to help keep peace between the two sides, which signed an armistice but no peace treaty after the conflict. Asked if the closings could begin next year, Quigley said, You could see some interim realignments done, but there's no stipulation that some percentage must be done by a certain point in time. Durbin was quoted as saying it was too soon to name the 15 installations to be closed under what Cohen called the Land Partnership Plan. He told the newspaper an agreement was close and could come as early as this fall. South Korean Defense Minister Kim Dong-shin discussed the plan with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld during a visit to Washington last month, Stars Stripes said. It also quoted Durbin as saying that since the war the United States has returned more than 75 percent of the land it was granted at that time to operate on. Durbin said that to consolidate, the United States must acquire some land to build facilities for people displaced in base closings. The plan also calls for the United States to invest $1.1 billion over the next decade to turn its remaining installations into planned communities with improved living and working conditions for U.S. military members and civilians. It would build or renovate barracks, motor pools, family housing, post or base exchanges, gyms, schools, medical and dental clinics and other facilities, and upgrade water, electric and other utilities, the newspaper said.

Arkin The military facility in Iquitos, Peru is not a U.S. airbase, nor does it appear in any list of U.S. military facilities. The Americans providing real-time tracking information to the Peruvian air force are not government or military personnel. So, who are the gaggle of Iquitos contractors employed by a company named Aviation Development Corporation, a company which is located on Maxwell Air Force base in Montgomery, Alabama, but is not a part of the U.S. Air Force? Who are the contractors operating a specially outfitted Cessna Citation V surveillance plane that flies the U.S. flag but does not belong to the U.S. government? Who are the contractors operating from a hangar built by a Peruvian company paid by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers? They are the fighters in our drug war! The American people are supposed to believe that Peruvian operations to stem the cocaine flow into the United States are innocuous, but we cannot know who the players are or what they are up to until disaster strikes. When the destroyer USS Cole met disaster in Yemen last October, or the Navy EP-3 was attacked off of Hainan island, we were similarly educated about underground activities of the U.S. military. In his election campaign, President Bush vowed to reduce the American military presence around the world. It's a particularly tough task when much of the presence isn't acknowledged or official. Taken individually, each country like Peru or a Yemen may have a justification for secrecy. But when one adds up all the all the Peru's and Yemen's, it becomes apparent that the U.S. military is increasingly everywhere and nowhere. Israel: Capital of Classified Bases At the same time Peru was in the headlines, there were press reports that the United States and Israel had conducted an unusual joint military exercise in the Negev desert. Jane's Defence Weekly called it Israel's first exercise with the U.S. Air Force. The Jerusalem Post called it a marked boost in military cooperation. Neither assertion is true, but that is the problem of an underground military policy. It is hard to know exactly what is going on. In fact, the United States and Israel have a regular series of military exercises, going under the code names Juniper Stallion, Juniper Cobra, Noble Shirley, and other Juniper variations. A month before March's Juniper Stallion exercise, another American contingent was in Israel for Juniper Cobra, a tactical missile defense exercise which included test-firing Patriot missiles while the U.S. Navy Aegis destroyer USS Porter operated off the coast. The exercise, perhaps coincidentally, ended just five days before the February 16 U.S. and British air attacks against Iraqi air defense sites. Last year's Juniper Stallion exercise involved the aircraft carrier battle group USS Eisenhower, and was from March 19-26. Eight U.S. aircraft operated from Nevatim airfield in Israel and U.S. Navy SEALs went ashore to train with their Israeli counterparts. During Juniper Stallion 2000, according to the Eisenhower public affairs office, U.S. aircraft were able to drop live bombs at two desert ranges in Israel, giving crews valuable experience given the temporary prohibition from dropping live ordnance on Vieques Island in Puerto Rico. Juniper Stallion 99, held in August 1999, was an even more extensive, and secret, exercise. U.S. Air Force munitions personnel from Italy were deployed to officially non-existent sites where they inspected and maintained the $500 million worth of ammunition the United States keeps in Israel for wartime contingencies. Their bases, called Sites 51, 53, and 54, don't appear on any map. Their specific locations are classified and highly sensitive. And it's not just munitions The United States has propositioned vehicles, military equipment, even a 500-bed hospital, for U.S. Marines, Special Forces, and Air Force fighter and bomber aircraft at at least six sites in Israel, all part of what is antiseptically described as U.S.-Israel strategic cooperation. Such cooperation may or may not enhance American security, may or may not be a prudent part of planning to defend a close friend. The extent of U.S. involvement may or may not be known and understood by U.S. decision-makers and the Congress. But the reason for all the secrecy is clear: All around Israel, in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the Gulf states, the U.S. has newly built up an enormous and yet officially non-existent military presence. Nervous Hosts Here is the web we weave: The Germany-based 22nd Fighter Squadron, the main U.S. Air Force unit to participate in the March Juniper Stallion exercise in Israel, returned from a

Truman bombed targets south of Baghdad on February 16, it was one in a long string of such bombing attacks conducted by U.S. and British forces that, according to the Gulf News of Dubai, have killed 311 Iraqis since December 1998. Exactly since six months before the February attack, the same USS Harry S. Truman conducted its final bombing practice runs -- in Vieques, Puerto Rico. [Embedded image moved to file: pic18467.jpg] And when Navy officials announced April 12 that bombing would resume in Vieques in late April, it was for a deployment of the USS Enterprise to the Persian Gulf immediately afterward. Since the 1940's, Vieques has served as a dress rehearsal in the U.S.' global theater of war. In recent times the cast has included the U.S. military, NATO and South American and Caribbean allied forces, although the protagonist has always been the U.S. Navy. U.S. military bombing exercises have made Vieques the sneak preview of the U.S. military's foreign acts of aggression. During the Vietnam War, for instance, the military used Vieques to practice carpet bombings and its ignoble napalm program, the jellied gasoline used against the Vietnamese people. It was also from Vieques that the United States prepared for its military intervention in Guatemala in 1954 and the Dominican Republic in 1965, and conducted its final rehearsal for the invasion of Grenada in 1983. In this way, the military has created an involuntary, mutually destructive relationship between Vieques and countries subject to U.S. military foreign policy. Since the beginning of the Gulf War in 1991, the most salient of these relationships between Vieques and the outside world has been with Iraq. About 50,000 troops train on Vieques every year, including virtually all naval and Marine troops entering combat in the Gulf War. According to Admiral Diego Hernández, U.S. forces' success in Iraq is due to the troops' extensive dress rehearsals in Vieques. The U.S. bombings' destruction of Iraq is well known. Less known is its destructive precursor relationship to Vieques. As Roberto Rabin, of the Committee for the Defense and Rescue of Vieques recently acknowledged, If [the U.S. military] did it in Iraq, you know they practiced it first in Vieques. According to a July 1999 study conducted by the Secretary of the Navy, entitled The National Security Need For Vieques, forward deployed naval forces engage in military activity on average every five weeks, necessitating a constant tuning of their military apparatus. Two U.S. carriers, USS ENTERPRISE and USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT, are good examples of this. In November, 1998, the ENTERPRISE battle group trained in Vieques and left for the Arabian Gulf. Shortly upon arrival, the battle group began military operations, expending more than 690,000 pounds of ordnances on Iraqi targets in a 70-hour time period, according to the Navy study. In early 1999, the ENTERPRISE battle group also launched a Tomahawk missile land attack on Kosovo. The ENTERPRISE, which also conducted training in Vieques in December of 2000, is currently slated to deploy to the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf in May of this year. After practicing on the Vieques range in February of 1999, the THEODORE ROOSEVELT battle group also engaged in the NATO Kosovo operation. From May 12 to June 12, 1999, aircraft from ROOSEVELT's airwing flew more than 2,500 combat sorties, launching nearly a thousand precision guided munitions at Yugoslavian and Kosovar targets. Referring to these military operations, the Commander U.S. Second Fleet and Commander U.S. Marine Corps Forces Atlantic illustrate Vieques' utility: Every facet of naval training refined on the Vieques range complex was immediately demonstrated under stress. The skills acquired by the Navy in Vieques included high altitude, single and multiple aircraft bombing sorties using guided munitions. According to Jay, L. Johnson, chief of naval operations, and Gen. James L. Jones, commandant of the Marine corps, The fundamental value of the Vieques facility is proven every day by our forward deployed naval forces. The Aircraft Carrier Battle Groups and the Amphibious Ready Group that trained at Vieques within the last year [1999] ended up flying combat operations over Iraq and Kosovo within days of their arrival overseas. They delivered many of their attacks from high altitude, and their ability to do so successfully was directly related to their training at Vieques. During the last decade the U.S. has consistently propped up the Iraq threat to justify its continued bombing exercises in

Currently, only genetically engineered soy and corn are required to be labeled in the 15 European Union countries: http://www.thecampaign.org/eu1.htm However, soy and corn are the only products that do need to be labeled in the EU since there has been a three-year moratorium in place against importing any other genetically modified crops. Now there is an attempt to remove the moratorium by expanding the labeling requirements to all genetically engineered foods. It does not look like the attempt to remove the moratorium will be successful, at least in the immediate future. And since no one wants to buy products labeled as containing genetically modified soy or corn, there are virtually no genetically engineered foods currently being sold in the European Union countries. The article below will explain more about the recent attempt to remove the moratorium and implement further labeling requirements.

The proposals, to be taken up by the European Commission on Wednesday, would expand tracing and labeling requirements as part of a push to end the EU moratorium that has angered U.S. exporters and hamstrings European biotech companies. However, one article in the draft would exempt products that may have picked up trace amounts of genetically modified material during harvesting, transport or processing. The exact level has yet to be determined but may be ``no higher than 1 percent,'' according to the draft seen by The Associated Press. Producers also must be able to show that the traces were ``technically unavoidable,'' and the material must have been approved in a third country for use in food. German Environment Minister Renate Kunast attacked that idea Monday during a visit to Brussels, insisting the current system of ``zero tolerance'' was the safest course. EU officials call that an impossibly unrealistic goal in today's mechanized food-processing industry. The United States currently does not require any labels for products with gene-altered ingredients. But genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are highly unpopular in Europe, where they are often referred to as ``Frankenstein foods'' in news headlines. Despite assurances from producers, surveys show most Europeans see them as a health hazard, and recent scares about mad cow and foot and mouth diseases have only heightened sensitivity to food safety. The Commission's proposed new rules for GMOs would tighten regulations in one area to require labeling even if genetically altered material can no longer be detected. Current regulations do not require labeling in cases such as, for example, where oil made from genetically altered corn or soybeans is used for cooking another product and the proteins and DNA are broken down by high temperatures. EU Health Commissioner David Byrne is backing labeling in such cases despite resistance from industry groups, according to an EU source who spoke on condition of anonymity. ``It's the only way we think consumers will have confidence,'' the source said. Jim Murray, director of the European Consumers Organization, called the proposals ``overall a good thing,'' although he expressed hesitancy about allowing trace amounts of GMOs to go unlabeled. ``We're prepared to look at it,'' he said, adding that a final judgment depended on how the proposal develops when it is sent to the European Parliament and national governments for approval. That process will probably take a year or more, meaning no new rules until 2003 at the earliest. The Commission's proposals are intended to implement rules approved in February by the European Parliament that would

-Caveat Lector- http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/23/international/23SUMM.html?ex=996922755ei =1en=3f416a12bebabc79 Bush and Putin Tie Antimissile Talks to Big Arms Cuts By DAVID E. SANGER NYTimes.com GENOA, Italy, July 22 #0151; President Bush and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia agreed today to link discussions of American plans to deploy a missile defense system with the prospect of large cuts in both nuclear arsenals. If an accord was reached quickly, it might take the place of the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty. Mr. Putin's willingness to enter into simultaneous talks on both offensive and defensive weapons, which American officials said was a surprise, was greeted enthusiastically by Mr. Bush. He had proposed both the offensive and defensive changes during his presidential campaign. I believe that we will come up with an accord, Mr. Bush, looking almost ebullient, said at a news conference this afternoon, after the two leaders met for two hours in a 15th- century palace and after the Group of 8 summit meeting closed. When Mr. Putin was asked what would happen if the United States went ahead with tests that violated the ABM treaty, his answer seemed starkly different from the stand he took last month in Moscow, when he had warned that any violation could touch off a renewed arms race. If, as we understood from each other today, we are ready to look at the issue of offensive and defensive systems together as a set, we might not ever need to look at that option, Mr. Putin said. For all the smiles and warm embraces today between Mr. Bush and Mr. Putin, who met for the first time last month in Slovenia, all that was agreed upon today was to start a series of intensive consultations. Condoleezza Rice, Mr. Bush's national security adviser and a Russia expert, said tonight that the consultations #0151; which she carefully did not refer to as negotiations #0151; would take place on an aggressive schedule, which she would work out on a visit to Moscow this week. But in the past, Ms. Rice has expressed considerable skepticism about the arms control process that dragged on through the cold war, and she has made clear in recent days that she is not looking to replace the ABM treaty with another formal treaty, subject to Senate approval. What we are not interested in doing is replicating the old arms control process where it takes 15 years to come to an agreement, she said tonight. Speaking to a small group of reporters, she also sounded more cautious than did her boss. Whether the talks succeed or fail, she said, at some point Mr. Bush will need to move forward at an appropriate time on missile defense tests that violate the ABM treaty's restrictions. The deputy secretary of defense, Paul D. Wolfowitz, told Congress recently that such time should be measured in months, not years. For Mr. Putin, the politics of the talks are complex, and one of the outstanding questions is whether he is really willing to give up the ABM treaty or whether he is simply testing Mr. Bush's bottom line. But he does stand to gain from a cut in offensive weapons. The United States now has about 7,000 strategic weapons; under Start II, the treaty to reduce strategic arms, the figure is supposed to fall to between 3,000 and 3,500. In 1997, Presidents Clinton and Boris N. Yeltsin agreed in principle that those numbers could fall to 2,500 or below. Mr. Putin talks of 1,500; Mr. Bush has never specified a number. In a brief statement, the two presidents did not state their intentions for the ABM treaty, nor did they address how or in what order the two issues would be taken up. The upbeat meeting with Mr. Putin today redeemed for Mr. Bush a summit meeting in this ancient port city that, until late today, had the makings of a fiasco. The three-day session was so overshadowed by violent anti-globalization demonstrations in the streets, which left one protester dead and more than 100 badly wounded, that Canada announced that next year's meeting of the seven largest industrial nations and Russia would be held in a small resort, Kananaskis, an hour from Calgary, Alberta. Canada's prime minister, Jean Chr#0233;tien, clearly hopes that the site will prove remote enough to discourage demonstrators, who poured into Genoa by bus, rail and plane. And to restore the summit meetings to the kind of intimate gathering they were conceived as a quarter century ago, he insisted that each nation would be limited to 30 to 35 members at the central site. Mr. Bush's Secret Service detail is sometimes that size; here in Genoa, he was accompanied by somewhere between 800 and 1,000 staff members. Mr. Bush insisted today that the summit meeting was a success, and he stressed the discussions that took place with leaders of a handful of developing nations as evidence that the group was refocusing its attention on helping the world's poorest. But other leaders seemed relieved to be leaving town, and used considerable restraint in describing

Graves 330-744-5955 [EMAIL PROTECTED] WFMJ - NBC (330)744-8611 http://www.wfmj.com/ N.O.A.H - Zygote Media 800-257-9387 zygote [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1971 SPECIAL VIRUS FLOW CHART ON NATIONAL TV, U.S. CONGRESS (U.S.A) International human rights activist Dr. Boyd E. Graves presented the 1971 U.S. Special Virus Flowchart on national television during an interview with veteran talk show host Carl Bryant on DYNAMICS IN BLACK weekly television program today. Dr. Graves is the discoverer of the secret 30 year old Research Logic Flow Chart which coordinates 15 years and 20, secret virus development experiments. The program's research logic details the creation and mass production of a new hybrid human retrovirus which depletes the human immune system. Dr. Graves says the secret virus program which officially concluded 1978 mass produced 60,000 liters of new viruses, and is responsible for today's global HIV/AIDS crisis. The evidence he presents are the actual NIH/NCI government contracts for the secretly tax payer funded biochemical weapons program, U.S. Special Virus Cancer Program (162-1978). The second part of Dr. Graves and the U.S. Special Virus Flow Chart interview airs next Sunday. They have allowed pieces of the program to come out. In 1972 all concentration was to the Tuskegee Experiment, as if it was an isolated incident, says Dr. Graves. Now we know they were testing AIDS on Icelandic sheep in 1932 and 1933 - they are not disjointed experiments. They have been studying African sexual issues for the entire 20th century. Dr. Graves v. The President of the United States of America U.S. Supreme Court Case No. 00-9587 demanding an immediate review of the U.S. Special Virus Flow Chart and the secret experiments the Flow Chart coordinates was denied without comment June 4, 2001. The Flow Chart has been reviewed and authenticated by medical doctors and scientists around the world since its 1999 discovery. Dr. Graves has demanded an immediate program review from top government officials and the scientist still living who were involved in the Special Virus program, including AIDS 'co-discoverer' Dr. Robert C. Gallo. During a February telephone interview, Dr. Gallo acknowledged his role as Special Virus Project Officer and his experiments which inoculated African Green Monkeys in 1971 inside the special virus program. Dr. Gallo could not explain the Multiply Spliced VISNA virus found inside AIDS to Dr. Graves. Dr. Gallo state he had been previously unaware of the U.S. Special Virus program's 1971 Flow Chart. Now Gallo has been briefed on the 1971 Special Virus Flow Chart and his specific contracts NIH71-2025 U.S. Special Virus Cancer Program 1971 Progress Report #8 Pages 104 105 with the direct allegations which resulted. This year Dr. Graves initial court interrogatories established the fact that NCI Deputy Director and U.S. Special Virus Cancer Program Director, Dr. Alan Rabson agreed that the U.S. Special Virus program had the technology to make AIDS, but could not confirm that it 'actually did'. Dr. Rabson has taken no formal public action toward Dr. Graves and the peoples' demands for immediate program review. Dr. Alan Rabson did disclose the primary architects of the U.S. Special Virus Flow Chart to Dr. Graves, they are now deceased. Dr. Graves leadership and activism has convinced some in Congress to review the program. Dr. Graves continues to educate Congress reproducing the policies, laws, and their secret U.S. Special Virus progress reports using all revenues from his book and video sales. Congress persons are being educated on the secret program Dr. Graves helped uncover. Last week Congressman James Trafficant (OH) came out in support of the peoples' demands for program review. The Congressman has agreed to ask for an investigation by the GAO or the Congressional Committee on Investigations, said Trafficant's Regional Director Anthony Traficanti. The information presented by Dr. Graves is very shocking and very revealing, Our government is supposed to be sensitive to the peoples concerns and the flowchart was very revealing to me, said Traficanti. Dr. Graves has provided the Flow Chart free online for the reading public on his website www.boydgraves.com since February of 2001, with volumes of additional primary source research materials available for purchase or donation to the peoples' grass roots movement toward immediate review. It's interesting that the first cases of AIDS were discovered in 1981 and now it appears that the research reveals that it's existence goes back over 20 years. But since we have the Tuskegee Experiment, it may not be a coincidence said Trafficant's office. Since 1999 Dr. Graves has presented the secret U.S. Special Virus Cancer Program Research Logic Flow Chart to The President of the United

-Caveat Lector- [See the below URL for a picture and video of the formation, links, and the related stories that are listed at the end of the article. --MS] www.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/ufo_nj010719.html [PICTURE: At least 15 people contacted police to report seeing strange lights in the New Jersey sky over the weekend. The lights were captured on a video, a frame of which is here. (ABCNEWS.com)] Emotional Resonance Experts Probe Meaning of New Jersey Lights By Dean Schabner July 19 - A set of golden lights hovering silently in the night sky in a V formation stopped traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike, but were the drivers seeing visitors from outer space or just a set of military flares flaming out? More than a dozen people, including two Carteret, N.J., police officers, saw the lights last weekend, and several of the witnesses described a sense of serenity that seemed to emanate from the celestial display. The gold lights hovered for awhile, according to the witnesses, and then disappeared. To some, the description sounded very much like the so-called Phoenix Lights, another V formation that appeared in the sky near Phoenix in March 1997. Like the apparition in New Jersey, the Phoenix lights were caught on videotape. The formation also matches reports of unexplained lights in the sky from all across the United States, as well as England and Europe. A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said that there were no planned military operations in the area and that air traffic was light at the time of the reported sightings. He also said that no pilots flying in or out of Newark Airport reported seeing anything out of the ordinary. To Michael Hathorne - who has written several books about UFOs and hosts a program on community television in the Tampa, Fla., area and a weekly Webcast about unexplained sightings - what was seen in New Jersey certainly was extraordinary. It's certainly unusual, Hathorne said. From my experience it sounds like something very anomalous, a true UFO or even an extraterrestrial craft. But of course it could turn out to be something else. Most of them do. [LINK: Click here to see Chris Wallace's Internet Exposé on the UFO phenomenon.] A Work in Progress He said that of the more than 1,000 sightings reported to him each year, more than 80 percent turn out to have earthly explanations. Colm Kelleher of the National Institute of Discovery Science says that from what he's heard, this one fits into that category. He said based on a preliminary investigation, it sounds like the Jersey Lights were a set of military flares. The same explanation was given for lights seen over Arizona four years ago. One of the half-dozen witnesses who have spoken to the institute used infrared night-vision glasses with a rangefinder to look at the lights, Kelleher said. He reported that the lights were just 1,800 feet up, which should have been close enough to see the outlines of a vessel, if there was one. Several witnesses, including the retired military man who used the night-vision equipment, described a kind of flare-out as the lights disappeared. The retired military man also said that he saw smoke after the lights disappeared, according to Kelleher. This is early days, though, he added. We want to talk to more eyewitnesses. This is a work in progress. What struck several people who study sightings of unexplained lights or objects in the sky was the emotional weight they gave it. There is something about it that strikes them deeply, said Michael Mannion, author of Project Mindshift, The Re-education of the American Public Concerning Extraterrestrial Life 1947-Present. When people tell about a sighting even 15 years later, that emotion comes through. You don't get that a lot with things that turn out to be mistaken sightings, he said.

[CTRL] Classified Secrets Of the Sky: What Crashed on Roswell, New Mexico? (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: Joe Gillaspie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MICHAEL SPITZER [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 10:09 AM Subject: Re: [Conspiranoia!] Classified Secrets Of the Sky. FYI: Classified Secrets Of the Sky From: The 70 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time By Jonathan Vankin and John Whalen. What crashed in Roswell, New Mexico? Something large and silvery wobbled through the air and ploughed into the desert dirt with a tremendous ka-boom. That much, generally speaking, goes without dispute. The date was July 2, 1947. It is also a fact-on-record that the government took an immediate interest in . . . well, whatever it was. The air force dispatched a team to scoop up the wreckage - one metallic chunk was about four feet long - and flew some back to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, for scrutiny. General Roger Ramey, the officer in charge, ordered his men not to talk to the press. But before Ramey could clamp a lid on the affair, the base's public information officer issued a press release announcing government acquisition of a flying disc. An Albuquerque radio station picked up a leak of the story. As it broadcast a report, a wire came through from the FBI. Attention Albuquerque: cease transmission. Repeat. Cease transmission. National security item. Do not transmit. Stand by... A day later, the air force held a press conference and announced that what crashed at Roswell was a balloon. The UFO saga actually began a few days earlier when businessman and avocational aviator Kenneth Arnold chased a squadron of nine bobbing and weaving objects as he flew in his private plane. He described the objects as saucer shaped. Some pithy wag, at an AP bureau, dropped the phrase flying saucers into a wire dispatch and, forever, into the English language. The air force said that Arnold had pursued a mirage. There have been innumerable UFO reports though out known (and not so known) history. Some have been captured on film, still and moving (the UFOs and the film). They pop up all over the world, even in outer space. NASA astronauts have reported seeing weird objects, and UFO scribe Sean Morton, co-author of The Millennium Factor, says that NASA photos of the so-called dark side of the moon remain, for some reason, classified. The myth that UFOs only reveal themselves to corn huskers and residents of trailer parks is easily dispelled. A quick scan of UFO history books shows the air corps of one nation or another pursuing unidentifiable blips on a regular basis. On November 23, 1953, an F-89 interceptor was chasing a UFO over Lake Superior when, according to radar operators, the two blips on the screen seemed to merge into one which then blinked off the screen. The jet and its pilot, Lieutenant Felix Moncla, were gone without a trace. For some reason, the air force file on the vanishing contains just two pages. One of them is a page from a book debunking UFO theories. Nevertheless, Roswell (which among the UFO-intrigued has achieved one-word status) remains the most important landmark in the UFO coverup because, apparently, it has actually been covered up. There is no mention of the crash in the air force's Project Blue Book files. Blue Book recorded all [?] UFO reports that crossed an air force desk along with their various scientific explanations. Generally considered the Warren Report of the UFO phenomenon - a coverup posing as an investigation - Blue Book gives Roswell increased prominence by its omission. Some might write the whole incident off as unlikely, noting that a spacecraft capable of navigating the firmament and, engineered to endure the rigors of interstellar travel is unlikely to crash like so many Cessnas. But then there is Majestic 12 (MJ-12). Among many UFOlogists, there is strong belief in the existence of MJ-12. A committee of twelve eminent military, intelligence, and academic personages, the group was allegedly chartered to manage and conceal the most important event in world history - contact with aliens. Albeit dead ones. According to the MJ-12 eyes only briefing paper prepared for Dwight Eisenhower when he was still president-elect, four Extraterrestrial biological entities, or EBEs, turned up two miles from the crash site. According to some accounts, two of the aliens were still alive at the time and one put up a struggle. The EBE carcasses are now allegedly kept on ice in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The problem with the Majestic 12 document - the only hard evidence that MJ-12 ever took a meeting - is that it may well be a hoax. No one in a position to do so has ever authenticated it. There is only one mention of MJ-12 in any other official paper, a November 1980 air force analysis of a UFO film that outlines in minute detail how the government is still interested in UFO sightings, which it investigates through covert cover. That document, like the original MJ-12 paper, somehow seems too good to be true - the smoking

[CTRL] NM: Who's Watching You in Your Hotel Room?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/7/20/171557.shtml Who's Watching You in Your Hotel Room? By Wes Vernon Saturday, July 21, 2001 WASHINGTON - Next time you check into a hotel, you may want to consider asking if there are any hidden cameras in your assigned room. There could be cameras hidden in mirrors, television sets, lamps and even the radio alarm clock on your nightstand. What? Hidden cameras in my hotel room? Thatâs like placing a hidden camera in my own home without my knowledge or consent. Once Iâm in my hotel room, Iâm in my home away from home.â Thatâs your likely reaction. However, Fox News reports that at least two hotels have bought that kind of security equipment. More than that may be involved. In an interview with NewsMax.com, Arielle Jamil, director of public affairs for Counter Spy Shops, specialty stores for high-tech spy equipment and devices, did not dispute us when we asked if two hotel chains had bought the spy gear. Two hotel chains? Which ones? We donât disclose the names of our customers,â replied Jamil, director of public affairs for the Counter Spy Shop chains. So why on earth would a hotel want to jeopardize customer relations by risking the appearance of spying on its own guests? They buy it for security reasons.â Yes, but that same equipment that can be used for security reasons can just as easily be used to spy on the hotel guest. Oh, but they use it only to look into the room at a time of the day when the guest is not there. You mean in midday when the maids are cleaning? Maids, anyone else from housekeeping, engineering if thereâs a mechanical problem that needs to be fixed. Hotels donât want to be sued by guests who complain that something was stolen while they were out. Okay, but how does the guest know that some voyeur on the hotel staff wonât use the equipment to peer in at a guest? And how does the hotel always know when the customer is out for the day? Some hotel guests keep odd hours. Well, you know, we just sell the equipment. We canât be responsible for whatever the buyers choose to do with it, Jamil responded. Itâs the same thing with people who sell butcher knives. They donât know if the customer is going to misuse it. True, there were those who wondered if the O.J. Simpson case would spark a movement for knife control. But there is less temptation for misuse of a butcher knife or a gun. That is why the gun-control movement in this country has been on the defensive of late. Most folks donât want to kill anybody. Putting spy equipment in the hands of a bored night clerk raises all kinds of temptations. And another distinction: Killing people, of course, is illegal. Spying on people through legally purchased spy or security equipment is legal. That âs right. Thereâs no law preventing it, especially if itâs done in the name of security. The Counter Spy Shops are owned by the CCS International Inc., headquartered in New Rochelle, N.Y. Shops are in such far-flung locations as New York City, Washington, Beverly Hills, Miami, Hong Kong, London and South Korea. Its Web site advertises a wide variety of spy equipment. One ad says, Who would suspect a video system to be concealed within the functioning alarm clock radio? CCS presents the most recent advancement in miniature surveillance technology ⦠Due to its unique disguise, the camera can shoot pictures discretely even from close up. Near the picture of a lamp, there is this: This hi-tech portable system allows you to monitor in real time, your office, home, store, property, store, garage, or business while youâre away. Or hotel room? CCS says it has been in business since 1959. This is an industry that apparently has been growing. CCS has competition for this market. Aimdiscount.com boasts the best quality available in Wireless Hidden Camera Systemsâ that are so successful because they appear to be everyday items.â Among its advertised everyday itemsâ containing cameras are an alarm clock radio, a smoke alarm, a wireless wall clock, a picture frame, a lamp, an artificial plant basket, a night light, and even a wireless tissue box.â Jamil of CCS told NewsMax that the company has many different kinds of customers. Government agencies? Lots,â she replied. That is already universally suspected. But when you question your privacy in, of all places, your own hotel room, you might think of William Raspberryâs recent column in the Washington Post saying that as far as privacy is concerned, the horse is out of the barn. NewsMax.com, however, will not throw up its hands and give up this fight. Americans are entitled to the privacy they have come to expect. If you lose all privacy, you have crossed the line from a republic to a police state. Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL

[CTRL] ZDNet: Feds bulk up to fight cybercrime
-Caveat Lector- Friday July 20 08:15 PM EDT Feds bulk up to fight cybercrime By Lisa M. Bowman ZDNet News On a day that the White House's Web site came under attack, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft announces a new initiative that includes added personnel to fight hackers and pirates. U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said federal officials would crack down on an increasing wave of cybercrime by beefing up 10 specialized units so they can better concentrate on catching hackers and pirates. The squads, dubbed Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property, or CHIP, units will focus on copyright theft, computer fraud and hacking. Ashcroft, speaking after meeting with Silicon Valley CEOs at VeriSign offices in Mountain View, Calif., said he wants to send a message to cybercriminals that they're not immune to prosecution. There's this idea somehow that you can get away with it here, he said. That's an idea we must curtail. There are no free passes in cyberspace. Ashcroft said the attack on Whitehouse.gov this week--along with viruses such as Melissa and I Love You--are further evidence that the government must work harder to catch cybercriminals. However, Ashcroft also said that technology companies must do their part. He criticized tech firms for failing to turn to law enforcement when their networks are compromised. After all, he said, banks call the cops when there's a robbery in their branch. Ashcroft said companies that don't contact the FBI--because they're afraid of the hit to their reputations or bottom line--are aiding criminals. These fears, while understandable, are self-defeating, he said. A company that does not report crime leaves the criminal free to strike again. Ashcroft would not comment specifically on the recent detention by federal law enforcement of a Russian computer programmer who created software that allegedly violates the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a law that makes it illegal to possess or share any program that could be used to crack copyright protection. Ashcroft said it wasn't his job to change laws. My responsibility is to defend the law, he said. Ashcroft also credited Robert Mueller, the current FBI director, with aggressively fighting cybercrime. Mueller, who visited the CEOs along with Ashcroft but did not speak at the press conference, is the U.S. attorney in the San Francisco office that issued arrest orders for the Russian programmer. The switch in leadership at the Department of Justice and FBI has raised questions about the future of a system formerly known as Carnivore, which lets law enforcement intercept electronic transmissions such as e-mail. Civil libertarians worry the system could be used to spy on innocent citizens, and Ashcroft has voiced similar concerns. At the press conference Friday, Ashcroft dodged the issue, saying the FBI no longer has a system called Carnivore (the name has been changed) and that he would explore systems that are privacy neutral.

-Caveat Lector- http://news.excite.com/news/r/010724/08/odd-heatwave-dc Enclave Hit by Freak Heatwaves Updated: Tue, Jul 24 8:14 AM EDT MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's North African enclave of Melilla was hit by freak heatwaves on Monday which sent temperatures shooting up as much by as 30 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter of minutes. Spain's Meteorological Institute said it registered two heat surges during the morning, the first sending thermometers soaring to a sweltering 105-F from a warm 75-F before falling away again within 15 minutes. An hour later, the second burst of heat pushed temperatures up by 59-F before again cooling down a few minutes later. I was working with the window open when it suddenly started getting very hot and gusty. It was like a hot desert wind and we quickly shut the windows and got the air-conditioning on, said a receptionist at a government building in Melilla. The weather office said in a statement that a mass of hot and dry air had replaced a layer of cooler moist sea air near the city, causing temperatures to surge and gusts of wind of up to 44 mph. Melilla is located on a small peninsular on Morocco's Mediterranean coast. __ http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/saudi010723.html Summer Refreshment Snow Falls in Saudi Arabia By John K.

Smith Dear Mr. Smith: It has come to our attention, as counsel to the Computer Systems Policy Project (the CSPP), that you are proposing to publish in Insight Magazine a story that attempts to link President Clinton's deputy chief of staff John Podesta, Podesta Associates, Inc., the CSPP and Kenneth Kay, CSPP's Executive Director, to conflicts of interest and to improper White House access and favors in return for campaign donations. After reviewing the article, we were struck by the large number of factual inaccuracies throughout the article. In an attempt to provide you with the correct information prior to press, we have collected some of the more egregious examples below. Perhaps the most important error in the article concerns the relationship between Podesta Associates and John Podesta. To our knowledge John Podesta relinquished all equity, ownership and control of any sort in Podesta Associates when he took his first position with the Clinton White House in January 1993. In the brief period during which John Podesta was not working in the White House during the last five years, from July 1995 until February 1997, to the best of our knowledge he never regained any ownership in or control of Podesta Associates. Nor during that period, to the best of our knowledge, did he violate the one year prohibition on lobbying. Accordingly, the article' s suggestion of improper conduct by John Podesta on behalf of Podesta Associates and its then client CSPP appears to be without any foundation. Any suggestion to the contrary in the face of these facts would appear to be in blatant disregard of the factual record. To the extent the article alleges that Podesta Associates was working for CSPP prior to July 1994, the article is in error. It was only in July 1994 that the CSPP retained Podesta Associates for certain administrative and professional services, and CSPP did not engage in Administration encryption issues until November, 1995 (after John Podesta had already left his position at the White House). In addition, Mr. Kay left Podesta Associates in January 1997 and set up his own organization that then took over CSPP's management from Podesta Associates. The article's portrayal of the Interagency Working Group on Encryption (IWG) plainly overstates the secretive nature of this body. For example, in November 1995, the Commerce Department sent out, on behalf of the IWG, a Media Advisory seeking public comment, to the IWG, on the IWG's Draft Export Criteria For Key Escrow Encryption. To facilitate the solicitation of the public comments, a meeting free and open to the public was set up at which [r]representatives from the interagency encryption working group will discuss the draft criteria and answer related questions. The IWG hardly sounds like the cloak and dagger organization the article portrays. The article also overstates the DNC campaign contributions of the relevant parties. Mr. Kay made only one donation to the DNC during this period for a total donation of $1,250 (the original donation was for $2,500 but Mr. Kay received a painting in return from the DNC worth $1,250). CSPP made no contributions to the DNC. The article's discussion of the meetings between the CSPP and members of the Administration is misleading. CSPP, like all other industry groups, exercises its constitutional right to lobby the government on issues of interests to its members. In turn the government tries to convince industry, especially industry leaders like the members of CSPP, of the merits of their positions. Such communication does not fall under the Federal Advisory Committee Act; CSPP members are not advisors, they are petitioners. CSPP routinely requests meetings with Administration officials when its CEO members are in Washington. These meetings are not secret; their purpose is to engage the Administration in a dialogue about matters of interest to the industry. We understand that other industry groups have engaged in similar meetings with the
[CTRL] SW: NM: Security Breach at Kennedy Space Center
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/7/24/202351.shtml Source FOIA documents: http://www.softwar.net/polytech.html Security Breach at Kennedy Space Center Charles R. Smith Wednesday, July 25, 2001 On the dark night of July 5, a Jamaican reportedly landed a sizable boat carrying 15 Chinese on the Atlantic shore of Kennedy Space Center. NASA officials admitted that the Jamaican and his Chinese human cargo remained undetected for hours, concealed in the brush, until the he blundered into a uniformed officer on patrol. The boat landed near the new Pad 41 Atlas-V complex, two miles south of space shuttle Discovery, which was then being readied for launch on Pad 39A. The Jamaican asked to use the NASA officer's cell phone, apparently to call for a pickup from an onshore contact. Instead, the NASA officer called for more help from security. The Jamaican and the Chinese were quickly rounded up by NASA security personnel and handed over to Immigration and Naturalization Service officers. However, accomplices in the boat escaped undetected. Security officials believe the Chinese landed at the launch site by mistake, planning instead to sneak ashore along a nearby deserted beach. The concern is that the boat operations and people in the brush went unnoticed for hours, in what is supposed to be a highly secure area. NASA officials admitted that had the Chinese been armed with even light weapons they could have attacked the space shuttle, or the USAF Titan launch pads before being detected. The greatest concern for NASA officials is a sniper attack. The July 5 security breach proved that a trained terrorist with survival skills could easily penetrate within shooting distance of the shuttle. The terrorist could then remain concealed until just before launch and use a high-powered rifle or other portable weapon to attack the orbiter. NASA officials expressed similar concerns last year during an investigation of a Boeing Delta rocket that blew up seconds after launch from the Florida space center. Several witnesses stated that the dramatic low-altitude explosion of the Delta rocket was preceded by the sound similar to a rifle being fired nearby. No one was injured in the explosion, but damage was done to the Delta launch pad, and the payload, a USAF GPS navigation satellite, was destroyed. FBI and NASA officials inspected video and audiotape of the launch for evidence of a shot being fired but found no conclusive data. Suicide Air Attack NASA is also concerned about airborne terrorist attacks. Kennedy Space Center has no means of air defense, especially against a suicide pilot in a small civilian airplane. The Cessna 150 is considered the most difficult light aircraft to stop because of its small size and low speed. For example, a 16-year-old German student once flew a Cessna 150 into the heart of the Soviet Union, landing in the Kremlin. The German student flew hundreds of miles through the teeth of the Soviet air defense system without detection. A Cessna 150 also once barely missed the White House. The Cessna suicide pilot missed only because he clipped a tree planted by President Andrew Jackson that protected the building. The pilot was killed but concerned Secret Service agents pointed out they had little chance of stopping the attacker even with hand held Stinger missiles. The plane, the size of a compact car, simply flew in undetected at street level. China, Russia and Bin Laden The concern inside NASA is backed by threats against the U.S. by suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden because of the planned launch of the first Israeli astronaut Llan Ramaon on the orbiter Columbia in May 2002. NASA recently abandoned use of the Ben Guerir, Morocco, trans-Atlantic abort site for the shuttle because of terrorist risks. Kennedy Space Center was already at a heightened Threatcon Alpha status when the July 5 Chinese landing occurred. According to former Soviet GRU agent Col. Stanislav Lunev, China and Russia already have Special Forces teams inside the United States with order to attack sites such as Kennedy Space Center. During an interview, Lunev noted that PRC Special Forces agents are rotated regularly in and out of America, usually through diplomatic sites at the U.N. or the Chinese Embassy. Lunev stated that Russian and Chinese army operatives in the U.S. have also created large stockpiles of arms for use in time of war. These communist weapon caches are reportedly hidden all over America. According to Lunev, the Chinese and Russian weapon stockpiles include explosives, nerve gas, anthrax and as many as 120 suitcase nuclear bombs. Machine Guns in the U.S. China has previously been accused of smuggling weapons into the United States. In 1996, Chinese army-owned Poly Technologies, an arms company, plotted with China North Industries, another PLA arms company, to illegally import 2,000 Chinese machine guns into America. According to Customs agents, Poly Technology official

The previous rules did not live up to the mandates of the Clean Air Act, said the court, so the government must redo them. The rules affect emissions at waste-burning incinerators and cement kilns. In a study released last year, researchers traced the majority of dioxins in Nunavut, Canada's Inuit province, to incinerators and kilns in the United States. The dioxins collect in the fat of animals, upon which Inuits depend for subsistence, resulting in higher than normal levels of poisons in Inuit populations. In particular, the milk of Inuit mothers contained more than twice the level of dioxins than their counterparts further south in Canada. Health risks from dioxins include chloracne, a severe form of acne, skin rashes, skin discoloration and cancer. In animals, dioxins have affected reproductive health and the development of offspring.

[CTRL] Indianz.com: Interior plan targets Arctic for off-shore drilling
-Caveat Lector- Indianz.Com. In Print. http://www.indianz.com/SmokeSignals/Headlines/showfull.asp?ID=env/7242001-1 Interior plan targets Arctic for off-shore drilling TUESDAY, JULY 24, 2001 In a move which may pit development-friendly Inupiat Eskimos against the Bush administration, the Department of Interior on Monday proposed opening up areas off the coast of Alaska to oil and gas drilling. Under a five-year draft management plan offered by Secretary Gale Norton and the Minerals Management Service, a number of areas in Alaska are being targeted for development. Included are parts of the Chukchi Sea and the Beaufort Sea, which are located off the coast of Alaska's North Slope and are traditional Inupiat hunting grounds. While many Inupiats have been overwhelmingly supportive of the Bush administration's plan to allow oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), they have consistently fought against any off-shore development. Much like the Gwich'in Nation fear land drilling will hurt the Porcupine caribou herd, they fear disturbing the sea will damage the bowhead whale on which they depend for subsistence. Opposition extends to any type of off-shore, as evident at hearing held in Barrow last week. Oil companies want to build a pipeline that would move natural gas from Prudhoe Bay to Canada. But since the pipeline would run through the Beaufort Sea, a number of Inupiat Eskimos are urging the companies to abandon the plan. The North Slope Borough, the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission and Arctic Slope Regional Corp., an Alaska Native Corporation chartered under federal law, all voiced their opposition to the proposal. In particular, the Whaling Commission, which oversees Eskimo hunts, has been active in opposing drilling in recent years. In February, the Commission passed a resolution to support drilling in ANWR so long as the government kept away from the the sea. The Commission has sued to prevent test wells from being drilled in the Beaufort Sea as well. Off-shore development in recent months has become a controversial topic for the Bush administration. After facing pressure from Florida officials and lawmakers, Norton earlier this months scaled back plans to allow drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. That sale, in an area known as Section 181, is set to occur later this year after a public comment period. It is included in the draft plan the Interior issued yesterday, which is also up for public review. Drilling in Alaska wouldn't occur until 2004 at the earliest. The Interior is proposing a lease sale for parts of Bueafort Sea in 2003, with other off-shore regions following as late as 2007. Before the five-year management plan is adopted, the Interior will issue an environmental impact statement later this fall. Norton has to approve the final plan, which is set to go into effect next July.

[CTRL] TNR: Why did Israeli troops fire on the USS Liberty?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.thenewrepublic.com/072301/oren072301.html Why did Israeli troops fire on the USS Liberty? Unfriendly Fire By Michael Oren Issue Date: 07.02.01 Post Date: 06.22.01 In 1967, at the height of the Six Day War, Israeli jets strafed and firebombed a seemingly hostile ship near the Sinai coast. Israeli torpedo boats quickly converged to finish the job, then abruptly ceased fire and offered assistance to the battered crew. Israel had attacked the USS Liberty. In all, 34 Americans died, and 171 were injured. Israeli leaders apologized promptly and profusely, explaining that they had mistaken the Liberty for an enemy vessel--an explanation that subsequent investigations in both the United States and Israel upheld. Israel compensated the injured sailors and the families of those killed. And that's where the story should have ended. After all, accidental attacks, though tragic, are common in war. In 1967 alone, friendly fire killed 5,373 Americans fighting in Vietnam. But the controversy over the Liberty attack has endured, generating conspiracy theories, ethnic defamation, and charges of mass homicide. And, although a series of recently declassified documents seem to exonerate the Israelis once and for all, a new book, Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency, has resurrected the canard by setting forth what is arguably the most audacious theory of all: that the Israelis deliberately attacked the Liberty to cover up a massacre of Egyptian prisoners of war. Written by James Bamford, a former ABC News producer, and published by Doubleday, the book has enjoyed a largely respectful, and frequently credulous, reception in the American press. Yet Body of Secrets has no more basis in fact than its predecessors. Indeed, it may be the shoddiest screed of all. The Liberty's fateful voyage began on June 2, 1967, when it set sail from Spain for the Middle East. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser had just ousted U.N. peacekeepers from the Sinai, blockaded Israeli shipping through the Tiran Straits, and prepared the Arab world for a war of Israel's destruction. A wary White House instructed the Sixth Fleet to stay outside an arc whose radius is 240 miles from [the Egyptian city of] Port Said. But, according to communications recently released by the National Archives, the Liberty's handlers in the National Security Agency ignored the order and directed the ship to a point just outside Egypt's territorial waters, a mere 12.5 miles, where it could eavesdrop on Egyptian officers and their Soviet advisers. Five subsequent cables from the Navy's European headquarters warned the Liberty to pull back to at least 100 miles, but the Navy's overly sophisticated radio system diverted them to the Philippines, and none reached the ship in time. Approaching the battle area at dawn, the Liberty's skipper, Commander William L. McGonagle, requested a destroyer escort, only to be reminded by the commander of the Sixth Fleet that the Liberty is a clearly marked United States ship in international waters ... and not a reasonable subject for attack by any nation. Israel, meanwhile, requested that the United States provide a naval liaison to facilitate its communication with the Navy. Israeli Ambassador Avraham Harman had warned the White House that if war breaks out, we would have no telephone number to call, no code for plane recognition, and no way to get in touch with the U.S. Sixth Fleet. The United States never approved the liaison, nor did it inform Israel of the Liberty's arrival in the area. Although it arrived too late to fulfill its original mission--most of Sinai had already fallen to Israel, so there were no Egyptian troops there to spy on--the Liberty nevertheless began patrolling between Port Said and Gaza, in a lane rarely used by commercial freighters and declared by Egypt as off-limits to neutral shipping. On June 8, just before six o'clock in the morning, an Israeli pilot reported finding a naval craft (gray, bulky, with its bridge amidships) 70 miles west of Gaza. Though he did not report seeing a flag, he made out the hull marking GTR-5, which was enough for Israeli commanders to identify the ship as the USS Liberty and to mark it as a neutral vessel on their control board. But at eleven o'clock in the morning, the watch at Israeli naval headquarters changed. The new officers, following procedures for removing old information and assuming the Liberty had sailed away, cleaned the board. For Israeli forces, the Liberty had ceased to exist. It would prove a key error. Less than a half-hour later, Israeli soldiers in the Sinai coastal town of El Arish heard a violent explosion. The cause was probably a detonation in an ammunition dump, but when the Israelis saw a ship off the coast, they assumed it was bombarding them, prompting the Israeli navy to dispatch three torpedo boats. The boats' commanders had standing orders to fire on any vessel going faster than 20

[CTRL] YahooNews: Land Database Reveals Human-Induced Changes to Earth
-Caveat Lector- Yahoo News Land Database Reveals Human-Induced Changes to Earth AMSTERDAM, August 1, 2001 - Scientists have long said that humans are changing the Earth's landscape at a rapid rate but for the first time, concrete evidence shows just how much, prompting one of the researchers to say We're hitting a threshold of available global natural resources. This is the warning of University of Wisconsin-Madison environmental scientist Navin Ramankutty, who along with Kees Klein Goldewijk, of the Dutch National Institute of Public Health in Amsterdam, has chronicled the impact humans have made on the Earth's landscape over the past 300 years. Addressing attendees at a recently held open science conference held under the auspices of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program, the researchers say this issue must be addressed now, before it is too late, since there is no substitute for natural resources. According to the scientists, agriculture is the biggest user of land, with about 12 percent of the entire terrestrial surface used for this purpose. This amounts to the entire surface area of South America. However, fast on the heels of agriculture is urbanization says Ramankutty. Historically, we lost forest to crop land. Now we are losing crop land to urban areas, he says. To arrive at their conclusions, the researchers combined records such as agricultural land surveys, tax rolls and census data, and satellite imagery. Ramankutty says the database that emerged from this convergence of information provides a comprehensive picture of the growing dominance of human land use on global land-cover patterns. Data sets, he notes, could be used within global climate models and global ecosystem models to gain insight into the influence of land cover change on climate and biological and geochemical cycles. A few of the notable points brought out by the researchers include: Half of the world's supply of fresh water is now appropriated by humans; Si nce 1700, nearly 20 percent of the world's forests and woodlands have disappeared; and Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have risen by nearly a third since the industrial revolution. This trend will only continue as the global population continues to grow along with the per capita consumption of goods and services derived from natural resources. Moreover, in some parts of the world intensive agriculture is exhausting the land, permanently removing acreage from production and the natural resource base.

[CTRL] REU: Powell: Israeli Attack 'Too Aggressive'
-Caveat Lector- Reuters Wednesday August 1 3:33 PM ET Powell: Israeli Attack 'Too Aggressive' WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Colin Powell said on Wednesday that Israel's attack on a Hamas building in the West Bank city of Nablus was ``too aggressive'' and helped to escalate Middle East violence. In an interview with CNN television, Powell also denied any difference between the State Department and the White House on how to deal with Israeli-Palestinian violence. The State Department deplored on Tuesday the Israeli attack on the building, which killed eight Palestinians including two children and a high-level official of the Islamist group. The Washington Post detected a different response at the White House, saying it merely urged both sides to abide by the cease-fire mediated by the United States in June. Powell said: ``We felt that this was a targeted killing of the kind that we have spoken out and condemned in the past, and we did so yesterday both at the White House and in the State Department. We had a consistent view of it, that this kind of response is too aggressive and it just serves to increase the level of tension and violence in the region.'' ``I think that the Israelis and the Palestinian side at this time should try to do everything possible to bring the passion down, the incitement down, and to bring the violence levels down,'' the secretary added. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said: ``The administration ... at all levels, deplores the violence there and that includes the targeted attacks.'' ``A cease-fire is a cease-fire and whether it is Israel or the Palestinians who engage in the violence, the United States condemns that violence and urges all parties to cease,'' he added. Asked what the United States planned to do about it beyond talking, he said: ``It still fundamentally depends on the two parties to engage in peace. The United States cannot force peace. The United States will be a party to help facilitate.''

[CTRL] NR: Inept [D.C.] PD
-Caveat Lector- Here's an interesting/revealing excerpt from Tucker Calrlson's The Bell Curve, (pg. 495): Washington's white population is densely concentrated among white-collar and professional groups, with no significant white working - class neighborhoods. In the mid 70s the Washington D.C. Police Department installed a residency requirement for police. The residency requirement severely restricted the pool of potential white applicants. By 1982, 40% of the candidates who took the police admission test failed it, and the department was having a hard time filling positions. A new test was introduced in 1985, normed to favor minority applicants. Standards were so low that that not one student flunked out. In 1988, the academy abolished its final comprehensive pencil and paper examination after 40% of graduating recruits failed it. A former academy instructor says that I've seen people diagnosed as borderline retarded graduate from the police academy. ...Between 1986 and 1990, about a third of all murder cases brought by the U.S. attorney's office in the District were dismissed often because the prosecutors were unable to make sense of the arrests reports. __ National Review Inept PD The fall of the D.C. cops. By John J. Miller NR national political reporter July 31, 2001 8:30 a.m. National Review Inept PD The fall of the D.C. cops. By John J. Miller NR national political reporter July 31, 2001 8:30 a.m. [From the August 20, 2001, issue of National Review] Jaywalking may be a petty crime, but on the night of March 30, 1967, it had disastrous consequences. At the corner of 13th and U Streets, in the Upper Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C., a young black man tried to cross against the light. Two cars nearly hit him, right in front of a stopped police vehicle. A white officer rolled down his window and asked, Can't you tell the color of a streetlight? The reply came as a string of obscenities, some of it racial. The cop had intended merely to issue a warning. Provoked, he was now determined to hand out a $5 ticket. This led to a scuffle that grew to include several onlookers: A group of black citizens pitted themselves against white policemen. There were no serious injuries in the altercation that followed - just a few minor bruises on both sides - and the jaywalker was carted off to the precinct house. His name was Marion Barry Jr. If the decline of the D.C. police department had to be traced to a single event, the decision to challenge Barry that night is a strong candidate. In the trial that followed, according to Harry S. Jaffe and Tom Sherwood in their book Dream City, Barry summoned a long convoy of black and white character witnesses, who claimed their friend was a responsible member of the community who never could have done the awful things alleged by the police. Barry was already a minor figure in local political life; many in the city regarded him as a brave man who exposed police racism. Upon acquittal, the victim became a hero. Eleven years later, the hero became the mayor. And he was determined to level the D.C. police. As the country has fixed its attention on missing intern Chandra Levy, it has also become acquainted with the D.C. police. Cable-news devotees have witnessed a string of elementary blunders: the repeated insistence from earliest days that Democratic congressman Gary Condit is not a suspect, the inexplicable delay in searching his apartment, the leaking to the press, and so on. While it's wrong to judge an entire police force on its performance during a single investigation - let alone one that may hold further developments - the Levy case points to a broader, crippling problem: the fundamental inability of the D.C. police department to carry out many of its duties. Just a generation ago, the D.C. police department was considered one of the best in the country. Today its reputation is near the bottom. The story of its decline is more important than any lurid, momentary fascination the public has with the Levy case. The D.C. experience serves as a red-alert warning to cities such as Cincinnati, still recovering from racial riots sparked by charges of police misconduct earlier this year, and even New York, which will lose its tough-on-crime mayor, Rudy Giuliani, in a few months. It is fraught with important lessons for urban centers caught in the toxic mix of black radical activism and white liberal guilt. Yet the D.C. story is also a tragedy unto itself. Consider simply the homicide numbers: 1,500 unsolved murders over the last decade; 225 killings by alleged repeat offenders, including 125 who had been arrested previously (most of their charges were dismissed); and an arrest rate badly trailing that of comparable cities. Two-thirds of all homicides now go unsolved in D.C. A detective told the Washington Post last year that in some parts of the city, the force is spread so thin, you might not get a
[CTRL] RMN: President Bush's tax rebate [A Scam?!?]
-Caveat Lector- http://www.smirkingchimp.com/article.php?sid=2522mode=order=0 President Bush's tax rebate When is a rebate not a rebate? When it's really an advance on next year's refund Sunday, July 22 @ 09:49:20 EDT By David Milstead Rocky Mountain News The tax-relief checks that will start arriving in mailboxes next week don't have a consumer-warning label, so we're happy to provide one. Warning: This check is not a rebate of taxes you already paid. It's an advance on the refund you'll get when you file next April. If it's an advance, you ask, does that mean my refund in April will be $300 smaller than it would have been? And if I'm unlucky enough to owe taxes, does that mean my tax bill will be $300 higher? The answer to both questions is yes. But you'd never guess that from the 1040 you'll fill out next year. It's been designed so that it's nearly impossible to realize how the 2001 rebate checks affect your tax preparation in 2002. I think people think what they're getting is a refund of taxes they paid in 2000, said Gary Dudley, the tax partner-in-charge at Deloitte Touche's Denver office. If they think their taxes were going to show up lower April 15 (from this change), they're not. The immediate tax relief, as the Internal Revenue Service calls it, was designed by Congress and the Bush administration to give taxpayers the benefit of a 2001 tax-rate reduction as soon as possible. Rather than wait for next April, you'll get the tax cut now. Congress intended the credit to take care of the rate reduction for 2001, said John McGreevy, an assistant branch chief for administration with the IRS. They wanted to get money into people's pockets for an economic stimulus. Bear with us for the math on how your check is calculated: The rate on the first $6,000 of income for singles and $12,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly is being cut from 15 percent to 10 percent. That's why the refund checks range from $300 for singles ($900 in taxes reduced to $600) and $600 for marrieds ($1,800 in taxes reduced to $1,200). But if you were to fill out the tax form next April using the new rates, you'd get the tax-cut benefits a second time. That's why the tax tables that will accompany next year's 1040 will charge you the old 15 percent tax rate, not the new 10 percent rate. The IRS could have included a line at the end of the 1040 where you took the amount of the refund check and reduced your refund by $300 or $600 or, even worse, added that money to the tax bill you owe. You won't have to do that, because the amount owed you pull from the tables at the back of the booklet will have already done that for you. The risk of that (line) approach is that the adjustment could flip you from a refund to a balance due, and you really wouldn't believe you received that money, Dudley said. But before you direct your anger at the IRS, look to the folks who designed -- and are taking credit for -- this advance-refund system: Congress and President Bush. It was not left to our discretion, said Marilyn Brookens, an IRS attorney in Washington. It was a congressional and presidential decision to do it this way, and we're implementing what we were told to do. Brookens points to the tax-cutting language in the report from the House-Senate conference committee that Bush signed into law earlier this year. The law said that in 2001, the advance refund occurs in lieu of the rate cut from 15 percent to 10 percent. That statement, Brookens said, meant if we didn't do it this way, we would be in trouble with them. But there are practical reasons, too, Brookens said: It's an effort to have as few people as possible enter a number on the 1040. Every time there's another computation, it increases the likelihood of errors. It's the way that will be quickest, most effective and result in the fewest number of errors, she said.

[CTRL] USAT:Ashcroft vs Freeedom of the Press
-Caveat Lector- 07/29/2001 - Updated 11:15 PM ET Reporter's jailing by feds draws criticism By Dennis Cauchon USA TODAY The jailing of a Texas reporter who refused to give her research to U.S. prosecutors has raised concerns that Attorney General John Ashcroft is reversing a policy that gives journalists wide latitude in protecting confidential sources and unpublished information. At the Justice Department's request, a federal judge jailed freelance writer Vanessa Leggett on July 20 on contempt of court charges after she refused to turn over notes, tape recordings and other material she collected while researching a book on the slaying of Doris Angleton in 1997. Angleton was the wife of Robert Angleton, a millionaire ex-bookie who was acquitted in 1998 of hiring his brother to commit the murder. The decision to jail Leggett, done at prosecutors' behest by an unidentified judge in a closed court hearing in Houston, has drawn criticism from press freedom groups and has become the latest curious twist in the U.S. government's pursuit of the Angleton case. The focus of the federal investigation is unclear. The Justice Department last had a reporter jailed in 1991, when four South Carolina journalists were locked up for eight hours when they refused to testify at the corruption trial of a state senator. Since 1973, the U.S. attorney general has been required to approve every federal subpoena issued to a reporter as well as every request by federal prosecutors to arrest a reporter. Justice Department spokesman Chris Watney declined to discuss Leggett's case or whether Ashcroft was involved. Watney said that under federal policy, Ashcroft's approval would not be needed in such a case if prosecutors did not consider the person withholding material to be a journalist. This is a darn significant case, said Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. It's either an important shift in policy or (prosecutors are) ignorant of a Justice Department policy in effect since the Nixon administration. Leggett, 33, a writing teacher at the University of Houston, does not have a contract for her book and has not published any articles related to it. She has talked with several magazines about publishing a story on the murder case, however. Leggett has spent several years researching the slaying in April 1997 of Doris Angleton, whose husband, Robert, was acquitted in a state court in August 1998. Robert Angleton's brother, Roger Angleton, committed suicide in jail in February 1998, leaving a confession that said he had acted alone. Leggett interviewed Roger Angleton before his suicide. The U.S. government began investigating Robert Angleton after his acquittal. Media attorneys say that if U.S. officials pushed to jail Leggett with the idea that federal protections for journalists did not apply to her, the officials were in error. She stands in the same shoes as any television or newspaper reporter, says Robert Lystad, an attorney for the Society of Professional Journalists who is not involved in Leggett's case. She's exactly the type of reporter or book author who shouldn't be harassed into turning over her notes. Leggett's jailing also has been criticized because it was done secretly. The hearing was closed to the public at the government's request. The transcript is sealed, and the judge's name was not released. It's one thing to incarcerate a member of the press for not doing what the government wants. But to do it in secret and threaten to jail (her) lawyer for talking about the details is outrageous, said Mike DeGuerin, Leggett's attorney. The Angleton murder case has attracted considerable attention in Houston. The CBS show 48 Hours is preparing a report on it. Ken Paulson, executive director of the First Amendment Center, said Leggett will have difficulty winning her appeal. Texas does not have a shield law that lets reporters protect confidential sources and research material. Leggett can be held for up to 18 months on the contempt charges.

-Caveat Lector- [Timeline for the Joyce Chiang homicide. I guess she disappeared from the Dupont Circle area, too.] http://www.aagen.org/archives_txt/JoyceChiang/joyce.htm Joyce Chiang - Background Joyce Chiang, Immigration and Naturalization Service attorney and former staff member for Congressman Howard Berman of California, has been missing since January 9, 1999. Her body was subsequently found and identified. FBI Press Release: January 15, 1999 INS ATTORNEY MISSING FOR SIX DAYS The FBI's Washington, D.C., Field Office and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) are asking for the public's assistance in locating JOYCE CHIANG, an INS attorney, who has been missing since January 9, 1999. Ms. CHIANG was last seen at approximately 8:20 p.m. on Saturday, January 9, when a friend dropped her off at the intersection of R Street and Connecticut Avenue NW in the DuPont Circle area of the District of Columbia. According to the friend, Ms. CHIANG planed to go to a nearby Starbuck's Coffee Shop and then walk to her residence in the 1700 block of Church Street NW, where she lives with a relative. JOYCE CHIANG is described as a Chinese-American female, age 28, date of birth 12/7/70, 5'3 tall, 105 pounds, with brown eyes and shoulder-length hair. When last seen, Ms. CHIANG was wearing a hooded, thigh length green jacket, light blue jeans, a black turtleneck, a red paisley scarf around her neck, and a black scarf on her head. Ms. CHIANG has been employed by INS since April, 1992, and is currently assigned to the Office of General Counsel at INS headquarters here in Washington.

[CTRL] Fw: {{AwarComp}} NASA Lost Evidence Of Life On Mars For 25 Years
-Caveat Lector- http://news.excite.com/news/r/010727/19/science-space-mars-life-dc NASA Lost Evidence Of Life On Mars For 25 Years By Kevin Krolicki 7-28-1 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Did NASA discover evidence of life on Mars and then misplace it for almost 25 years? A University of Southern California scientist argues that is just what happened and that once-lost data collected by the 1975 Viking probes suggest the existence of Martian microbes. The significance of that finding was overlooked -- along with the data itself -- after NASA concluded that its experiments showed only signs of chemical activity on the surface of the Red Planet, said Joseph Miller, a USC neurobiologist. But a careful reexamination of a fragment of the recovered NASA record showed a surprising pattern: gas released by the Martian soil and tracked by Viking followed the same kind of rhythms followed by all Earth-bound organisms from humans to fruit flies in a cycle akin to feeding and respiration by colonies of microbes. I think, basically, that it's bugs, said Miller, a neurobiologist and an expert in the study of the circadian rhythms that regulate biological activity. Two Viking spacecraft were launched by NASA in August and September of 1975 and took almost a year to reach the Martian atmosphere. Once there, both sent probes to the surface some 3,000 miles (4,828 km) apart to conduct a series of experiments, several of which were designed to look for evidence of life. In one of those tests, a robotic arm on the probes scooped up soil samples, which were dropped into a dish along with a shot of a radioactive carbohydrate solution. Scientists reasoned that any organisms in the Martian soil would consume the nutrients and release radioactive carbon as a gas, something the probe was equipped to measure, said Miller. Viking found clear evidence that the Martian soil generated gas over the nine-week experiment, but scientists concluded that was the product of reactive chemical superperoxides in the soil, not evidence of life, Miller said. NASA LOST TRACK OF RESULTS That closed the book on the Viking experiments until Miller, who had worked with NASA in the early 1980s studying the sleep cycles of monkeys in space, asked the agency to go back over the record of the experiment in 1999. I figured this was going to be on a Web site somewhere, Miller said. Well, guess again. They had lost track of it. NASA scoured its archives and turned up the long-neglected computer tapes, only to discover they were coded in a format so old that the programmers who knew it had died, Miller said. Working from a printed record that the initial NASA team had saved, Miller has been able to assemble and analyze about a third of the data and plans to present his initial findings on Sunday at a scientific conference in San Diego. Miller found the gas emissions from the soil sample fell into a cycle of precisely 24.66 hours -- the length of the Martian day -- a pattern that was linked to a slight variation in the temperature inside the mostly insulated lander. That pattern of heightened activity in the warmer daytime and inactivity at night is akin to the kind of temperature-driven circadian rhythm that simple terrestrial organisms such as bread molds exhibit, Miller said. Even more suggestively, the amount of carbon gas released rose over the course of the experiment, but then also dropped sharply at one point when the soil sample was heated to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit). I think that what was happening there was that we were killing all the bugs, said Miller, who is working to recover the full Viking data record to see if it confirms the pattern. Other recent studies have shown signs of climate change on Mars dating back about 100,000 years, instead of millions or billions, and suggest that there could be shallow ice reserves below the planet's surface -- a key to sustaining life there. Miller said he hopes his unexpected findings will encourage both NASA and European researchers to revive biological experiments in the next generation of Mars probes. Over the years NASA has primarily been interested in geology, said Miller. But this is something out of the clear blue sky, or I guess I should say the red sky.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=000343180237640rtmo=k7oYoqJpatmo=999 9pg=/et/01/7/26/ecfape26.html Earth: the real planet of the apes YOU can't keep a good film franchise down. Thirty years after the original movie, four sequels and a television spin-off, Planet of the Apes is back. This time, the latex masks, hairy chins and strange leather tunics have been brought back to the big screen by Tim Burton, director of Batman. Like the 1968 film, the story is based on Pierre Boulle's reverse evolution novel La Planete des Singes, a satire where chimps, gorillas and The remake comes after a busy period in the investigation of the real links between apes and humans. Over the past year, palaeontologists have identified three new species or sub-species of hominid - the group that With the human family tree looking increasingly bushy, it seems that for much of the past few million years several different species of hominids may have been living side by side. Never mind science fiction - for much of our evolutionary history Earth really was the planet of the apes. In the 150 years since Charles Darwin popularised the idea of evolution, fossil hunters have identified between a dozen and 20 species of hominid, which Recently, two candidates for the earliest known hominid have emerged, both tantalisingly close to the last common ancestor with the chimps. Last year, a Kenyan-French team led by Brigitte Senut and Martin Pickford unveiled Millennium Man, a six-million-year-old chimpanzee-like creature whose existence was pieced together from 13 fossils. Remains from at least five males and females, including an arm, a fingertip, a jaw fragment and, According to its discoverers, from the Kenyan Palaeontology Expedition, its teeth were more like those of modern humans than any apes. Its strong femur suggested that it walked upright, but its powerful upper arm bone hinted that it might also have been at home in the trees.Senut and Pickford, who made the finding in Kapsomin in the Tugen hills of Kenya's Baringo district, argued that its similarities with Homo sapiens made it a contender for the title of direct ancestor.But as Millennium Man was being unveiled at a press conference, a rival team from America was working on This time, the fragments of bones were found in the Middle Awash region of Ethiopia and were dated at between 5.8 million and 5.2 million years old. The finds, reported in Nature this month, included a piece of collarbone, several hand and foot bones and a jawbone with teeth, also with features more in common with hominids than any ape. The most important discovery was a toe bone which showed that its owner walked on two feet. The remains came from at least five creatures, a new subspecies called Ardipithecus ramidus kaddaba. Dr Yohannes Haile-Selassie, of the University of California at Berkeley, made the findings. He believes they could belong to the earliest A year ago, we knew nothing about hominids older than 4.4 million years ago. Now we have two late Miocene fossil collections from Ethiopia and Kenya that can tell us something about the early evolution of hominids, he says.The latter is slightly older than the new discoveries from Ethiopia. Based on the evidence we have now, the two groups are different. More detailed studies of both in the future will clarify the relationship between the two sets. However, for now, they are different and represent So which of the teams is right? The Kenya-French team claims that Orrorin is on the human branch of the tree and that Ardipithecus is a chimpanzee ancestor. The American team disagrees. They believe their find has been thoroughly analysed and their findings have been carefully scrutinised by peer review. Perhaps more importantly, they could also have an ace up their sleeves.Prof Tim White, a palaeontologist and colleague of Dr Haile-Selassie at Berkeley, is currently working on a partially crushed skeleton of Ardipithecus, found in the mid-Nineties. The remains are slightly younger, around 4.4 million years old, but include a pelvis, a bone that could yield crucial information about how the creature walked.Dr White has yet to publish the full details. But because he works closely with Dr Haile-Selassie, it is likely that his unpublished work will have Like many colleagues, Prof Chris Stringer, head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London, is holding back judgment.My view is that we don't know enough about either of them yet to place them accurately in this cloudy area where hominids were diverging from chimpanzees, he says. They are incomplete and in the case of Ardipithecus we know there is a much more complete material waiting to come in. It's a shame that people are competing to claim the earliest hominid at this stage. To have the last common ancestor would be fantastic, or to have creatures that preceded that would be equally valuable.The latest finds highlight the confusion surrounding the human
[CTRL] ST: The Mystery of the 'Lost Mena Report'
-Caveat Lector- http://www.sierratimes.com/archive/files/jul/26/arms072601.htm Sierra Times July 26, 2001 THE MYSTERY OF THE LOST MENA REPORT By Mark Swaney This is a story that I have tried in vain to get reported. When all else fails, do it yourself, and so this is my own personal account of what I know about the Mena investigation by the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services, also known as the House Banking Committee (HBC). It is an important story that bears directly on current events, but to understand it, you must know something about past history. This story is about ordinary citizens in Arkansas who were lied to and cheated by Jim Leach and other corrupt politicians. This is also a missing person story, and for all we know, Steve Ganis, former Mena investigator for the HBC, has been threatened to insure his silence. The crucial questions remain unanswered. * Where is the report on the Mena investigation? * And where is Steve Ganis? BACKGROUND Mena is a small town in southwest Arkansas, population 5,000. Mena has an airstrip, and in the early 1980's this quiet country town became the center stage for a famous pilot and smuggler, Barry Seal. Seal based his cocaine smuggling operation in Mena. Local officials knew that laws were being broken and they appealed to the federal government for help. The rumors were that Seal was running guns to the Nicaraguan Contras, and bringing back cocaine. People believed then and now that Barry Seal was actually a government operative using his public persona as a famous drug smuggler as cover. After the revelations of the Iran-Contra scandal, the questions about Seal's operation continued to bother people in Arkansas who wanted to know if their state had been used by George Bush and Bill Clinton as a base for a government protected dope running operation. In 1990, some students and citizens and I formed an organization at the University of Arkansas called the Arkansas Committee. The focus of the Arkansas Committee was to combat government secrecy. Quickly we discovered that we had a monster case of government secrecy in our own backyard, and we began to agitate to get a full disclosure of the Seal case. Most of our strategy centered on getting the media to pay attention. Since the case involved both Bill Clinton and George Bush, the media did write some stories that were almost always centered on the topic of how the Mena story might affect the political chances of one or the other of the now former presidents. In almost every case, the straight truth was ignored in favor of political spin. The truth is that Mena is a bipartisan scandal. But that simple idea was lost in the welter of left vs. right reporting. By late 1994, the Arkansas Committee had been battling for five years to get more information on Mena to the public. To that end we had traveled to Mena, Little Rock, and Washington DC, written countless letters, held press conferences and demonstrations, filed Freedom of Information requests and embarked on our own investigation. In the beginning we thought that once the media discovered the Mena story that they would do their own investigations, but we were sorely disappointed. We learned that the American media is a very weak reed for democracy to lean on. More and more we relied on our own investigation to give the people something accurate on the Mena case. We went after Bill Clinton's Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA), because we believed that ADFA had been established by Clinton to launder money from government covert dope smuggling. We went after them tooth and nail. JIM LEACH AND THE MENA INVESTIGATION On the same day that the Arkansas Committee retrieved the Coral Reinsurance documents from ADFA, December 2, 1994, we met with Bill Duncan, former IRS agent, and Micah Morrison of the Wall Street Journal. That night Morrison treated us to a fine dinner courtesy of the WSJ, and the irony was enormous. Here we were, college radicals, teamed up with the WSJ! Morrison had come to Little Rock to talk to Bill Duncan about Mena and he informed us that the Arkansas Committee's long pursued goal of obtaining a new investigation into the Mena allegations had finally been achieved. The managers of the WSJ editorial page had been convinced by former Arkansas congressman Bill Alexander and others that the Mena stories were worth pursuing. They in turn had convinced the incoming chairman of the House Banking Committee (HBC), Jim Leach, to use his good offices to investigate Mena. And it came to pass as reported by Micah, soon there was an announcement by James Leach that his committee would investigate Mena, and let the chips fall where they may. These were the heady days of the Whitewater investigation and the Foster suicide. In their zeal to poke a hole in Bill Clinton, the Republicans apparently didn't care whose ox they gored, even if it was named Bush. Or so they said at the time. The Arkansas
[CTRL] RC: CNN Chief Courts GOP
-Caveat Lector- http://www.rollcall.com/pages/news/00/2001/08/news0806b.html August 6, 2001 CNN Chief Courts GOP By John Bresnahan and Mark Preston In an effort to improve his network's image with conservative leaders, new CNNchief Walter Isaacson huddled with House and Senate GOP leaders last week to seek advice on how to attract more right-leaning viewers to the sagging network. Isaacson met with Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), House GOP Conference Chairman J.C. Watts (Okla.), Rep. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) to talk about CNN's image with conservatives and how it can be improved. Isaacson confirmed that he also reached out to senior White House officials, but he denied that he was seeking counsel on how to boost CNN's ratings with conservative viewers. I was trying to reach out to a lot of Republicans who feel that CNN has not been as open covering Republicans, and I wanted to hear their concerns, Isaacson said in an interview Friday. I definitely did not say, 'How do we attract the conservative viewer?'said Isaacson, who stressed that his message was, Let me hear what you think of CNN, and I am here to introduce myself. To Republicans, Isaacson's presence on Capitol Hill is a sign of weakness and shows how much Fox News Channel, founded just under five years ago, has eroded CNN's lead as the top cable option for political news. But Isaacson, the former editorial director of Time Inc., disputed assertions that he was on a mission to keep up with Fox. It really doesn't have to do with any other network, Isaacson said. It wasn't some programming strategy or our relationship with Fox or anything like that. Nevertheless, Isaacson's counterpart at Fox, Roger Ailes, gently mocked his competitor's recent swing through Capitol Hill, while admitting it was a clever business move. I think it is a real sign of progress that after [21] years, CNN has found out that there's more than one point of view,jibed Ailes. Democrats, on the other hand, weren't pleased by the spectacle of Isaacson courting Republicans. That is a byzantine thing for the head of a news organization to come up to meet with one political party to ask what can we do or how do we make things better, groused a senior Democratic Senator. That's an interesting idea of balance, a Democratic Senate chairman dryly remarked. It is totally inappropriate. Isaacson deflected the criticism by saying that he's planning a September visit to Capitol Hill in which he will meet with Democrats and more Republicans. During this trip Isaacson also intends to sit down with one of CNN's most vocal Republican critics, House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (Texas). DeLay, who has lambasted CNN as the Clinton News Network and Communist News Network, actually suggested a boycott of the network during a recent bicameral GOP leadership gathering. None of the others Republican lawmakers who were in attendance agreed to take part. It also demonstrates to GOP strategists that their unrelenting attacks on the media, in which television and newspaper reporters are accused of being biased against Republicans and conservatives, are beginning to hit home with those who decide what gets aired on the nightly news. [Isaacson] is panicked that he's losing conservative viewers, said a top aide to one of the GOP lawmakers who met with Isaacson. He said, 'Give us some guidance on how to attract conservatives.' He said he 'wanted to change the culture' at CNN. I think he perceived that they have a problem, and they do have a problem. DeLay has been particularly vocal in his criticism of the Atlanta-based news organization. DeLay is on a jihad against CNN, claimed another GOP aide, who said the Texan believes that CNN's coverage of issues clearly favors liberal Democrats over conservative Republicans. In a telephone interview on Friday, DeLay himself said he won't go on CNN. They have such a liberal bias. It's quite evident to everyone. Watts, for his part, was muted in his critique of CNN and said that the network has been fair to him in the past, although he also offered high praise for Fox. Fox is rocking. There's no question of that, said Watts, who had breakfast with Isaacson last Thursday. Do I think that [CNN] has a liberal bias? They probably do, said Watts, who appeared on the network's Late Edition program two Sundays ago. But I am still not willing to concede that venue [to Democrats]. Fox News has cut into CNN's once overwhelming lead in recent months. For example, an average of 140,000 people were watching Fox News at any given time between Jan. 1 and Aug. 1, 2000, according to Nielsen Media Research. During the same time period this year, 282,000 people were tuned into Rupert Murdoch's news network. In contrast, 308,000 viewers watched CNN between Jan. 1 and Aug. 1, 2000. During the first seven months of 2001, viewership climbed to 321,000. CNN is seen in 82 million homes, while Fox
[CTRL] NM: New Condit Mystery Girlfriend Shifts Focus to Gray Davis
-Caveat Lector- With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Sunday August 5, 2001; 11:39 a.m. EDT New Condit Mystery Girlfriend Shifts Focus to Gray Davis A new mystery girlfriend of Congressman Gary Condit, who now works in the office of his close political ally California Gov. Gray Davis, has privately told a friend that she felt threatened by Condit after ending their relationship, Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman revealed Sunday morning. Klayman told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg that the California Governor's decision to hire the ex-Condit girlfriend raises the question of whether Davis is performing the role of Bill Richardson during the Lewinsky scandal. In late 1997, when then-President Bill Clinton was desperately trying to cover up his affair with White House fellatrix Monica Lewinsky, he had then-U.N. Ambassador Bill Richardson offer her a job in New York. Gov. Davis employs the both Condit's son and daughter in his office and, according to at least one source close to the congressman, once employed 24-year-old missing Condit girlfriend Chandra Levy. In 1998, the then-relatively unknown Davis launched his bid to become governor in Condit's Modesto district, using his friend's regional clout and popularity as a political springboard. The Davis staffer and former Condit paramour revealed her predicament to a Judicial Watch client last month, who in turn told Klayman two weeks ago. I'm not going to break the name yet, Klayman told Malzberg. It's going to come out in the next day or so. We've been looking through the information that she provided, he said. In private correspondence, the woman claimed she had an affair with Congressman Gary Condit. What's significant is that the woman felt threatened -- it's in the letters -- and that's why we turned them over to the police and the FBI, the Judicial Watch chief said. Police have interviewed the woman but have declined to release details of her account. She felt as if (Condit) was stalking her, not literally but figuatively, Klayman said, adding that he has informed Chandra Levy's parents of the new development and provided them copies of the Condit mystery girlfriend's correspondence. Last month longtime Condit bodyguard-chauffeur Vince Flammini claimed he saw missing intern Chandra Levy working in Gov. Davis' office last year. (Levy) worked in the governor's office with (Condit's) son and with all of his friends and nobody seems to know her, Flammini told CNBC's Rivera Live on July 17. I don't understand that. She worked right there with everyone. And every time they talked to somebody, I said, 'Did you meet Chandra?' 'No, no, no.' Well, I think they were told ahead of time to say no, Flammini said. In the days after Levy went missing, her friend Jennifer Baker, who was an intern Condit's Washington, D.C. office, told reporters that Levy hadn't met her boss till she introduced them there. Baker said she never saw any evidence that Condit and her friend romantically involved. Baker has since dropped from sight. Repeated efforts to reach Flammini since he granted an initial flurry of interviews last month have been unsuccessful, with one source suggesting that the ex-Condit driver has decided not to comment further on the case. On Friday Levy's mother Susan hinted she was disappointed that Gov. Davis had made no attempt to contact her, but didn't give a reason why she expected to hear from him.

[CTRL] WP: Censure of Freeh Was Secretly Rejected
-Caveat Lector- Censure of Freeh Was Secretly Rejected Review of FBI's Flawed Ruby Ridge Probes Had Prompted Disciplinary Recommendation By George Lardner Jr. Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, August 5, 2001; Page A01 Justice Department officials who reviewed the FBI's flawed investigations of the 1992 siege at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, called for disciplinary action against FBI Director Louis J. Freeh and three other FBI veterans, but the recommendations were secretly rejected in the closing days of the Clinton administration. Stephen R. Colgate, an assistant attorney general who had the authority to mete out final sanctions in the Ruby Ridge case, denied a recommendation to censure Freeh for condoning the shortcomings of the FBI investigations. In a brief interview on Friday, Colgate, who is now in private practice, said he stood by his Jan. 3 decision. He said a prominent FBI ethics official also favored no action. But FBI agents who spent years turning up flaws in the FBI's initial inquiries into the events at Ruby Ridge denounced Colgate's refusal to impose sanctions on top FBI officials as outrageous and a whitewash. The agents told the Senate Judiciary Committee, which learned only last month of Colgate's decision, that they were especially dismayed because senior FBI officials had subjected them to threats and retaliation for conducting a thorough investigation. The lead agent, John E. Roberts, testified that his wife, an FBI support employee, was hounded from her job in the Boston division and that his attempts to win a promotion have been rejected 14 times. Ruby Ridge . . . has been a textbook example of [FBI] abuses, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), the committee chairman, said in a statement. It appears from this that the 'good old boy' network has been allowed to persist at the FBI. It serves to protect some senior FBI executives from the same scrutiny and discipline applied to rank-and-file agents. . . . This double standard is unfair and demoralizing. Freeh, who left the FBI on June 22, did not respond to a request for comment. The FBI and Freeh have been buffeted in recent months by the revelation that an agent had secretly spied for Moscow since 1979, by problems with the investigation of Los Alamos nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee and by the FBI's failure to turn over thousands of documents in the Oklahoma City bombing case. Five separate reviews of FBI conduct are underway. The aftermath of events at Ruby Ridge -- where an FBI sniper killed the wife of separatist Randy Weaver -- is an example of what even Justice Department officials acknowledge is the FBI's unwillingness to police itself, especially when top officials are involved. A spokeswoman for Attorney General John D. Ashcroft said he views the situation as a serious matter. Ashcroft recently ordered the Justice Department's inspector general to take the primary role in investigating allegations of FBI misconduct. The recommended disciplinary actions against Freeh and others were cited in a July 27 letter to Ashcroft from Leahy and four other committee members seeking documents related to Colgate's decision. They noted that the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and a task force of the Justice Management Division recommended in 1999 that two senior FBI executives be suspended and that the FBI director and one other FBI agent be censured. However, committee officials refused to disclose the names of the other three FBI officials. They also noted that officials at Justice had urged that the disciplinary actions taken by Freeh in January 1995 against three other unnamed agents involved in Ruby Ridge be rescinded, because they believed the punishments were not warranted. Nothing was done about the recommendations until Jan. 3, when Colgate, the assistant attorney general for administration, decided that no new discipline would be imposed. Colgate, designated by Attorney General Janet Reno as the final arbiter in the matter, also refused to rescind any previous disciplinary actions. He conveyed his decision in a memo to then-Deputy Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. It was not announced publicly or reported to Congress. Leahy said the decision surfaced when he asked direct questions about final discipline while preparing for a July 18 FBI oversight hearing. The reasons for Freeh's proposed censure have not been spelled out, but Leahy suggested a rationale in written questions he sent to the agents who testified at the hearing. Leahy asked whether it would be a breach of conduct warranting discipline if an FBI official ordered or took part in an inquiry knowing that the person conducting the inquiry was biased or a friend of the target. Leahy also inquired about officials accepting the results of such an investigation when it had obvious holes. Agent Roberts, the OPR unit chief in charge of the FBI's internal investigations, said this would amount to investigative dereliction. In the case of
[CTRL] NYP: ROGER STILL EYED IN PARDONS PROBE
-Caveat Lector- NYPOST ROGER STILL EYED IN PARDONS PROBE By BRIAN BLOMQUIST and DEVLIN BARRETT August 4, 2001 -- Probers in the Clinton pardon investigation are still hard on the case and recently subpoenaed documents from Roger Clinton's manager, sources said yesterday. New details of the investigation emerged amid reports that prosecutors are winding down the Pardongate case after failing to find evidence of any crimes. But Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White denied investigators were wrapping up the probe, issuing her update on the case just one day after a Justice Department official raised the possibility President Bush could oust White before she's done. The investigation is continuing, she said. Sources said Roger Clinton's music manager, Vicki Crawford, was subpoenaed within the last few weeks to turn over business records related to Roger's concerts. Authorities are looking into allegations Roger may have promised pardons to the families of convicts in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars in cash payments. Investigators are trying to determine whether Clinton's inflated fees for overseas concerts were really a cover for those payments, sources said. Sources said Crawford has hired a lawyer and is still putting together the documents requested by White's office. No investigators have been pulled off the pardons case, and they are all still working full time on the inquiry, sources said. Department officials also insisted they never intended to send signals that they're about to remove White, a Clinton holdover, from office. There's been no determination as to how long this investigation will continue, one official said.

[CTRL] AP: Hillary orchestrates defeat of Bush safety nominee
-Caveat Lector- Bush safety nominee loses key vote Top job at Consumer Product Safety Commission is at stake Democrats on the Senate Commerce Committee rejected Mary Shiela Gall, President Bush's nominee to head the Consumer Product Safety Commission, reports NBC's Robert Hager. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 - The Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday voted against President Bush's choice to head the Consumer Product Safety Commission, dealing Mary Sheila Gall's nomination a potentially fatal blow. Gall, who Democrats claim is too pro-business in her votes as a member of the commission, was defeated in a party line vote of 12-11. The White House noted many of the same Democrats opposing Gall had approved her previous appointments. THE VOTE could be fatal. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., told reporters that it is not likely we will go to the floor with this nomination. The committee has spoken. ... I don't have any expectation that it needs to go further than that, he said. Gall in a statement said that my years of public service to this country simply do not merit today's vote. My whole life, both personal and professional, has been dedicated to children and families, she said. I will continue to make the safety and well-being of America's children and families my highest priority. SEN. CLINTON A KEY PLAYER A senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Bush doesn't want the current chairwoman, Ann Brown, an ally of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., to continue serving. Republicans were determining whether they could strip Brown of her chairmanship and elevate a candidate favored by Bush to the post, said GOP sources who spoke on grounds of anonymity. It's not over, said Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., who was among those pressing the White House to push Brown aside. Administration spokeswoman Anne Womack said the White House was taking a look at different options on how to proceed. She declined to elaborate. The president has the power to make appointments during congressional recesses but that action inevitably angers lawmakers and, according to aides, was not something Bush was expected to do. CRITICS, SUPPORTERS A defeat for Gall would be the first outright rejection of a Bush nominee. His first choice to head the Labor Department, Linda Chavez, withdrew her nomination amid controversy over financial support she provided to an illegal alien. Attorney General John Ashcroft survived a nasty confirmation battle. Democrats, who now control the Senate, hold a one-vote majority on the Senate Commerce Committee. Led by Clinton, they had charged that Gall, the only Republican on the three-member commission, developed a record of favoring businesses over consumers. Critics, including consumer groups, had particularly zeroed in on her decisions against allowing new regulations for a variety of products considered potentially dangerous to children, including baby walkers and children's bunk beds. Gall, in her confirmation hearing last week, defended her record since first being named to the agency by Bush's father in 1991. She said she based each of her decisions on the law. Her supporters have said critics are basing their opposition more on politics than substance because her renomination to the commission - by former President Clinton - went unopposed in 1999. She also has the support of one Democratic commissioner. The head of the American Conservative Union had sent a letter to senators asking that Gall be judged on her qualifications. Depriving the president of his preferred nominee, particularly one with Commissioner Gall's talent, experience, commitment and distinction - simply to play political games - is disgraceful, David Keene wrote. The agency, created by Congress in 1972, oversees about 15,000 types of products, ranging from infant high chairs to fire sprinklers. While it works with companies to recall dangerous products and develop voluntary safety standards, the commission also issues and enforces mandatory rules and product bans. © 2001 Associated Press.

[CTRL] WND: DOJ: Agreement ending hunger strike 'misrepresented'
-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23825 THE POWER TO DESTROY Tax-activist meeting in jeopardy DOJ: Agreement ending hunger strike 'misrepresented' By Julie Foster © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com Because a tax-activist organization misrepresented an agreement with the Department of Justice to discuss activists' arguments that most Americans are not legally required to pay income taxes, the DOJ will likely not participate in any such hearing, a department spokeswoman said. Members of the self-named tax-honesty movement declared a victory last week when Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett, R-Md., and Assistant Attorney General Dan Bryant signed an agreement to hold an open hearing in September discussing the movement's arguments. The agreement, signed on July 20, was prompted by the hunger strike of Bob Schulz, founder and chairman of We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education. Schulz and Oklahoma businessman Roland Croteau vowed to subsist only on water until government officials agreed to meet in a public forum to debate the activists' contention that most Americans are not required to pay income taxes. According to We The People, last week's signed agreement commits the government to send their top tax and legal experts to a two-day September hearing to be conducted on Capitol Hill. But the Department of Justice indicated WTP's interpretation of the agreement is not wholly accurate. Bryant is the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legislative Affairs, which, among other things, handles requests from congressional representatives and their staff members. According to DOJ spokeswoman Lori Rabjohns, Bryant agreed to the meeting as an accommodation for the congressman, which is Bryant's job, she said. Bryant was willing to listen to the arguments of tax activists, but the agreement did not necessarily include representatives from the IRS or top tax experts, as stated by WTP, the spokeswoman explained. As a result of its mischaracterization of the agreement between Bartlett and Bryant, WTP has put the September hearing in jeopardy. Because the group (WTP) is misrepresenting the department's agreement with this group, it is unlikely the department will participate, said Rabjohns. Schulz said he learned Monday that the DOJ wanted an apology about WTP's July 20 press release. Schulz called Bryant's office but was unable to speak to him. As yet, the activist said, his call has not been returned. Schulz is revising his original press release. Nevertheless, he said WTP's portrayal of the agreement is accurate. It's certainly not our intention to misrepresent anything, he remarked. The signed agreement is a hand-written letter by Bartlett on his congressional stationery asking Bryant for appropriate representatives at the meeting, said Schulz. Bryant signed a copy of the letter. But the agreement was more than Bartlett's signed letter, continued Schulz - there were verbal stipulations as well. Some of those verbally agreed-upon items, said Schulz, were that the meeting would be held on Capitol Hill to prevent it from becoming a circus atmosphere, and WTP would provide a list of people who were expected to attend. Also, there were not to be multiple video cameras in the room. Instead, according to Schulz, WTP would bring a videographer and Bryant would see that a transcript of the meeting was made. Schulz added that he planned to invite C-SPAN to cover the meeting. The activist also said he was assured by Bartlett that IRS representatives would attend the congressional-style hearing. Bartlett's office did not return calls from WorldNetDaily. In the meantime, Schulz holds out hope that a meeting with government officials will take place. He and other like-minded tax activists want the feds to answer questions about the constitutionality of the income tax. Bartlett is working with me to hold [the Department of] Justice to the agreement, he said.

[CTRL] WP: Carolyn Condit has no thumbs ... and other false rumors
-Caveat Lector- Lady Of the House; Back Home, One Condit's Constituency Is Stronger Than Ever By Jennifer Frey Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, August 6, 2001; Page C01 CERES, California -- It was quiet on Acorn Lane last Thursday, the day Carolyn Condit flew home, one day ahead of her husband. Down the street from her pretty, one-story beige house -- the one with the No Trespassing sign planted in the front lawn smack in the middle of some red flowers -- one neighbor watered her sun-scorched grass and another cleaned the bed of his truck. Around the corner and down the street, elderly couples slid into Naugahyde booths and ordered the ravioli lunch special at Peach Tree Restaurant, where Carolyn used to get breakfast with her in-laws. Carolyn was coming home that day from Washington, where she had spent much of the previous month with her husband, Rep. Gary Condit, as details of his affair with missing intern Chandra Levy -- and with others -- became the talk of the nation. Gary was interviewed by investigators four times; Carolyn met with FBI agents once. Camera crews had crowded the sidewalk outside their Adams Morgan apartment as the Levy family demanded answers and no one seemed to have any truth to offer, save for the fact that Chandra had been intimately involved with Carolyn Condit's husband. Back in Ceres last Thursday, though, all seemed peaceful in Carolyn's world -- and this is her world, the place where she has lived, full time, while her spouse commutes between his district and Washington. The Condits' son, Chad, 33, lives a few blocks away on Myrtlewood Drive, which makes it easy for Carolyn to spend time with her grandchildren. Her in-laws are only a few minutes away. Here, it is easy to see Carolyn as her neighbors and friends describe her -- the beloved wife of the local congressman, the woman who hand-delivers flowers to sick constituents and drives elderly shut-ins to the grocery store. She's an angel, says one local shopkeeper. And now she is also the nation's most famously scorned wife. Less than 24 hours after Carolyn returned to Ceres, Acorn Lane was clogged with television trucks and cable lines and microphone-toting reporters, all hoping to capture Gary upon his return home. Neighbors fumed and passersby shouted opinions as cars slowly tried to navigate the choked road without knocking down curious children astride bicycles or technicians juggling cell phones and beepers in the searing summer heat. Gary never appeared that day -- not in his driveway and not at his district office in nearby Modesto, which was also staked out by reporters. He remains secluded, as does his wife, who declined, through family spokesperson Marina Ein, to comment for this story. According to their attorneys, the Condit family -- including Chad and daughter Cadee, who lives in Sacramento -- are taking some time alone to do some family healing. The Health Issue Carolyn is s misrepresented, moans Pam Hoover, a Modesto shop owner who has known Carolyn for years. I just feel like no one has an accurate view of who she really is. Some of the things they're saying are just terrible. Like the thumbs. Carolyn Condit, 53, is an extremely private woman, and, like her husband, she has refused to grant interviews during this difficult period. Truth is, Carolyn rarely did interviews -- or public appearances -- even before her husband's personal life became a national obsession. It isn't in her nature, friends and acquaintances say. So people make stuff up. But in a saga rife with insinuation and innuendo, perhaps the most ludicrous of all rumors is one that started on the Internet and spread to office water coolers nationwide: Carolyn Condit has no thumbs. There is not a speck of truth to this assertion -- it's quite laughable, really. On the serious side, though, the nature of Carolyn's heal thhas become a much-discussed topic for a reason: Several people say her husband has suggested -- to other women, to House colleagues, to Hill staffers -- that Carolyn is sickly and that her condition is the justification for his relationships outside the marriage. Levy's aunt, Linda Zamsky, says her niece told her that Gary's wife never comes to visit him because she's sickly. Anne Marie Smith, the United Airlines flight attendant who has alleged an affair with Condit, has said repeatedly that the Democratic congressman told her his wife was ill. When I first met him, Smith said in a telephone call to Larry King Live last week, I asked him if he was married, and he said yes. But he said, 'My wife's very ill.' She supposedly has encephalitis of the brain. And he said that their relationship was more of a friendship. He really, you know, cared about her, but he stayed with her more or less to take care of her. And in political circles in Washington -- where Carolyn rarely visited -- the supposed state of Carolyn's health was no secret. I was told early on that his wife was ill, and that he went out,

[CTRL] CNN: Roger Clinton makes reckless driving plea
-Caveat Lector- Roger Clinton makes reckless driving plea August 7, 2001 Posted: 4:05 PM EDT (2005 GMT) TORRANCE, California (CNN) -- In a deal that spares him jail time, Roger Clinton pleaded guilty Tuesday to a non-alcohol-related charge of reckless driving. As part of the deal, the three initial charges -- two counts of drunken driving and one for disturbing the peace -- were dismissed. Clinton, who is the half-brother of former President Bill Clinton, could have faced a maximum 270 days in prison on those charges. Torrance Superior Court Judge Jesse Rodriguez sentenced Clinton to 24 months probation and ordered him to pay a fine of $1,351. In addition, the judge said he must report any new arrests within five days and that he must stay at least 100 yards away from the Lighthouse nightclub in Hermosa Beach, where the incident began. The judge also said Clinton must not operate a vehicle with any amount of alcohol in his system, and he can't refuse an alcohol or drug test if requested by police. Clinton attorney, Mark Geragos, said his client is extremely pleased with the outcome. It's a vindication of what we've said all along -- that it was a setup, said Geragos. The charge stems from a February 17 incident in which Clinton was accused of scuffling with a doorman at the Lighthouse, where he allegedly had drinks, and then left in a car. He was followed by police and charged with two counts of DUI. Geragos said he presented an audio tape to the judge that contained four of the seven arresting officers talking about his arrest 45 minutes beforehand. Before he was even driving, they were staking him out, said Geragos. Roger Clinton was one of 140 people pardoned by his brother in the last days of the Clinton presidency. The younger Clinton had been convicted of a cocaine drug charge in Arkansas in 1985, while his brother was the state's governor.

[CTRL] CBC: Global Warming: Melting glaciers challenge tourists
-Caveat Lector- http://north.cbc.ca/cgi-bin/templates/view.cgi?/news/2001/08/07/07bell Global Warming: Melting Glaciers Challenge Tourists IQALUIT, NU - In Inuktitut- Auyuittuq means the land that never melts. But warmer temperatures in recent weeks at Auyuittug National Park near Pangnirtung, NU are proving otherwise. Melting glaciers in the park are causing unexpected challenges for tourists this summer. The 19-thousand square kilometre park is located above the arctic circle. Pauline Scott is with Parks Canada's field unit in Nunavut. She says glaciers are melting faster than usual and that has made river crossings more dangerous, and it's the number one concern for park staff this summer. The glaciers are melting and so the water's higher and faster, Scott said. So to get across all the different river crossings, people have to wait until the water goes down at night or they may have to wait for a couple of days until the gushing slows down so they can get across. Parks Canada says it is telling people to take extra precautions when hiking through the park this summer.

[CTRL] NM: Gray Davis Hiding Condit on Catalina Island
-Caveat Lector- With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Tuesday Aug. 7, 2001; 9:02 a.m. EDT Report: Gray Davis Hiding Condit on Catalina Island Embattled Congressman Gary Condit has been discovered hiding out at taxpayer's expense in luxurious digs on California's Catalina Island -- accommodations secured by his close political ally Gov. Gray Davis, New York's WABC Radio reported Tuesday morning. Gray Davis has given him a favor, revealed WABC's John Batchelor in an exclusive report to the Curtis Kuby Show. The state of California, through the (University of Southern California), owns an inn. On Catalina Island (chewing gum magnate) William Wrigley, Jr. and his wife Aida built a vast home on a place they called Mt. Aida -- it was named for her. It's now a bed and breakfast and a conference center owned by U.S.C. and the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy. Well, that's where Condit is. Condit retreated to his home state over the weekend, reportedly to spend private time with his grown children. The California getaway was supposed to be an effort to repair the damage done to Condit's family over the last two months, when the investigation into the disappearance of his girlfriend Chandra Levy exposed a secret life that, according to some reports, featured up to 27 different women. Batchelor did not say whether Condit's wife Carolyn was with him on Catalina. Gov. Davis, who turned to the then-popular Congressman Condit in 1998 to help launch his gubenatorial career, returned the favor by putting Condit's grown children, Chad and Cadee, on his staff. In Feb. 2000, Davis also hired Ms. Levy, who interned in his legal affairs office before accepting a Washington, D.C. internship with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. It's not clear whether Rep. Condit, who was a frequent visitor to Davis' office in Sacramento, was romantically involved with Levy at the time, though his one-time driver bodyguard Vince Flammini has raised that possibility in interviews. The WABC report is the first evidence that Gov. Davis has taken an active role in helping Condit survive the political maelstrom that threatens to sink his career. Gray Davis controls (the Wrigley) place, Batchelor said. (Condit) is staying there so Gray Davis can say; 'The congressman needs privacy. He's there with his two grown children, who are on my staff. He's there with his press aides.' While on his taxpayer funded getaway, Condit is staying in a room now known as The Grand Suite, which rents for $625 per night, has a bedroom, full bath and harbor views. Your tax dollars are going to hide Gary Condit from the truth, Batchelor observed.

[CTRL] Court Rules That Internet Re-Posting Is Protected Speech
-Caveat Lector- http://www.mediachannel.org/news/today/index.html Internet Re-Posting Is Protected Speech Court Rules That Internet Re-Posting Is Protected Speech Dismisses Defamation Suit Against Breast Implant Activist as Meritless Source: Electronic Frontier Foundation Posted: July 30, 2001 Oakland, CA - In a trail-blazing 27-page order, Alameda Superior Court Judge James A. Richman dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed against a breast implant awareness activist, finding that it was a meritless SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation). The court held that a 1996 federal law protects individuals from civil liability for posting to an Internet newsgroup a statement created by another. Ilena Rosenthal, Director of the Humantics Foundation in San Diego, was sued for defamation based on her postings on Internet newsgroups. On July 25, 2001, Judge Richman granted Rosenthal's motion to dismiss the complaint against her as a meritless SLAPP. Two self-proclaimed Quackbusters, Stephen Barrett, M.D., of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Terry Polevoy, M.D., of Canada, joined by their attorney and co-plaintiff, Christopher Grell, of Oakland, California, filed suit against the activist. Judge Richman found that none of the plaintiffs had valid claims against Rosenthal. He ruled that Rosenthal's statements calling Barrett and Polevoy quacks, and Barrett arrogant and a bully who tried to extort her, were not actionable because they do not contain provably false assertions of fact, but rather are expressions of subjective judgment. Judge Richman further found that only one statement by Rosenthal was arguably defamatory -- a document written by someone else which Rosenthal re-posted to an Internet newsgroup. Judge Richman held that this statement by Rosenthal was protected under section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act (CDA), a law Congress enacted in 1996 expressly to promote the continued development of the Internet and other interactive computer services, which Congress declared should be unfettered by Federal or State regulation. Judge Richman held that section 230 of the CDA provides immunity to users, as well as providers, of interactive computer services. He found that Rosenthal, as a user of an interactive computer service, that is, a newsgroup, . . . is not the publisher or speaker of statements made by a third person. Thus, Judge Richman concluded, she cannot be civilly liable for posting it on the Internet. She is immune. Lee Tien, Senior Staff Attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the leading Internet civil liberties organization, said in enacting section 230, Congress tried to protect free speech on the Internet from chilling threats of costly litigation. This decision will help achieve that goal and marks a solid victory for free expression. Internet speech would be stifled if individuals could be found liable for the defamatory statements of others. Mark Goldowitz, counsel for defendant Rosenthal and the Director of the California Anti-SLAPP Project, said, Judge Richman's opinion is significant. To my knowledge, this is the first court to rule that Internet re-posting is immune from civil liability under federal law. This ruling greatly advances freedom of speech on the Internet. Also, it is very rare for a trial court judge to issue anything even close to a 27-page order. Ilena Rosenthal, one of several defendants named in this high-profile Internet libel case, heads an international support group for women harmed by breast implants. Rosenthal believes that this suit, one of several the so-called Quackbusters have filed against critics of their tactics, has been used to intimidate and threaten others into silence for fear of being named as a Doe in this lawsuit. They are a dominant threat to alternative and complementary medical practices and practitioners, Rosenthal said. Their campaigns obstruct health freedom and attempt to chill the voices of their critics and opponents.

[CTRL] WP: GAO to Investigate FBI Travel Vouchers
-Caveat Lector- GAO to Investigate FBI Travel Vouchers By George Lardner Jr. and Dan Eggen Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, August 7, 2001; Page A06 The Senate Judiciary Committee has ordered a special investigation to determine how many FBI officials submitted fake vouchers for travel expenses to cover their attendance at a 1997 retirement party for former deputy FBI director Larry Potts. The committee chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), and one of its high-ranking Republicans, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (Iowa), also directed the General Accounting Office -- Congress's investigating arm -- to find out whether an earlier, internal inquiry by the FBI was adjudicated fairly and fully and without any conflicts of interest. Approximately 140 people attended the retirement bash for Potts in Arlington on Oct. 9, 1997. After the party was scheduled, the FBI announced it would hold an Oct. 10 conference on ethics in Quantico. Some agents from around the country allegedly used the conference, or other meetings in the Washington area, as a reason to get the FBI to pay for their travel to the party for Potts. Only five people attended the ethics forum. John E. Roberts, the agent who led the internal inquiry by the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility, told the committee last month that numerous senior executives were involved in voucher fraud. But he said the findings were treated as trivial by a Senior Executive Service board that was more interested in protecting colleagues than in meting out discipline. Roberts said he already had been subjected to threats and retaliation for leading an aggressive inquiry into the 1992 Ruby Ridge tragedy. He pointed out that two SES employees who submitted questionable vouchers for the party for Potts were also two of the SES employees who were responsible for the flawed Ruby Ridge investigation. Of equal importance, Roberts told the senators in responding to written questions following an FBI oversight hearing, is that one of the individuals received substantial cash awards while under investigation. Another longtime investigator for the Office of Professional Responsibility, John Werner, now retired, told the committee that management problems at the bureau begin with the Senior Executive Service. The SES is an elite cadre of 178 officials, including assistant directors and special agents in charge of the FBI's 56 field offices. Most work out of FBI headquarters and are paid a minimum of $119,700 a year, plus a 10 percent adjustment for the cost of living in the nation's capital. Werner said most are sincere and dedicated, but that there is a vocal minority . . . often referred to as 'the Club' by street agents, who are motivated by self-preservation and self-interest at any cost. . . . They use intimidation and retaliation against anyone who would be so impertinent as to challenge their interests. An FBI study in 1999 said the dinner for Potts was known throughout the bureau as Pottsgate, and was one of a series of events that has convinced many employees that there is a double standard of discipline -- one for senior executives and another, much stricter one for rank-and-file employees. The FBI's internal inquiry into the party found both voucher fraud and a lack of candor on the part of several special agents in charge who attended the dinner. Under standards set by FBI Director Louis Freeh in 1994, both offenses warranted dismissal, but the SES board issued only four letters of censure after reducing the misconduct to inattention to detail and inappropriate travel. The internal inquiry focused on nine senior officials, but five retired and were not punished. The FBI will cooperate with the GAO probe, bureau spokesman John Collingwood said. © 2001 The Washington Post Company Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] BREAKING: NYP: MEMO: HILL PUSHED FOR COKE PARDON
-Caveat Lector- NYPOST MEMO: HILL PUSHED FOR COKE PARDON By BRIAN BLOMQUIST and DEBORAH ORIN August 8, 2001 -- WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton wanted a convicted cocaine dealer sprung from prison, and it was very important to her, the former first lady's brother told the White House, according to a bombshell memo obtained by The Post. The handwritten note, on White House stationery, appears to contradict Clinton's repeated claims that she knew nothing about brother Hugh Rodham's pardon-for-pay work to get her husband to free drug trafficker Carlos Vignali. Hugh says this is very important to him and the first lady as well as others, says the note, which investigators said is from a file on the Vignali matter kept by Bruce Lindsey, who was former President Bill Clinton's closest White House aide. Bill Clinton freed Vignali on Jan. 20, over angry objections from the U.S. attorney's office, after Vignali had served only six years of a 15-year prison term for conspiring to sell more than 800 pounds of coke. The note, from last December or January, is in the National Archives files for the Clinton White House and bears the stamp Clinton library photocopy. The memo is unsigned, but appears to be addressed to Lindsey and written by someone who knows the Clintons and their family, since it refers to Sen. Clinton's brother by his first name. It suggests either Rodham lied to the Clinton White House, or Hillary Clinton lied when she later denied knowing anything about the pardon, for which her brother was paid $204,000 by Vignali's family. Rodham was living with the Clintons on the third floor of the White House when Bill Clinton issued his controversial slew of 11th-hour pardons and sentence commutations, including Vignali's. Sen. Clinton insisted at a news conference last February: I did not know my brother was involved in any way in any of this. Her spokeswoman, Karen Dunn, last night, said only: We have nothing to add to what's already been said. Rodham's lawyer, Nancy Luque, said he didn't speak to Sen. Clinton about Vignali. I seriously doubt whether he ever said that it was important to her, Luque said. The House Government Reform Committee, which is probing the pardons, has written Rodham, asking him to explain why you informed anyone on the White House staff that the Vignali matter was 'very important' to you and the first lady. The committee notes in its letter that Luque had told the House panel that Rodham had no contact with President Clinton or Sen. Clinton regarding Vignali. Both Clintons have denied knowing Rodham was being paid by Vignali's family, but Bill Clinton has never explained why he pardoned Vignali.

[CTRL] DN:Report: Lee not targeted by FBI because of race
-Caveat Lector- http://www.dallasnews.com/national/438638_lee_08nat.ART.html Report: Lee not targeted by FBI because of race 08/08/2001 Washington Post WASHINGTON - Federal investigators did not target former Los Alamos nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee based on his ethnicity, according to a classified report that is otherwise highly critical of the conduct of the FBI and Energy Department during the investigation. A version of the internal report by federal prosecutor Randy Bellows is scheduled to be released publicly next week. It says that while the government's espionage investigation of Dr. Lee, a native of Taiwan, had many shortcomings, racism was not one of them, said several people who have reviewed its findings. The report's findings on racism, which had not previously been revealed, appear to contradict the accounts of at least two former Energy Department officials. They include the former chief of counterintelligence, Robert Vrooman, who has said in sworn statements that Dr. Lee was targeted for investigation of whether he leaked nuclear secrets to China based largely on his race. Dr. Lee, who was jailed on 59 felony counts of mishandling classified information and violating the Atomic Energy Act, pleaded guilty last September to a single felony charge of mishandling classified information after the government's case largely fell apart in court. He had spent nine months in solitary confinement. Dr. Lee, who is a naturalized U.S. citizen, has indicated in press reports and court filings that he believes he was singled out because he is a native of Taiwan. The case prompted condemnations from Asian-American leaders, who accused the government of engaging in racial profiling and stereotyping in the Lee inquiry. But Mr. Bellows' review is certain to figure prominently in a defamation lawsuit by another energy official who contends that he was wrongly accused of racism in the case. Notra Trulock III, a former energy official who has filed a defamation lawsuit against Dr. Lee, said Mr. Bellows' findings on race bolster his suit, which alleges that Dr. Lee authorized supporters to accuse Mr. Trulock of racism on the scientist's Web site. A federal magistrate hearing the case has demanded portions of Mr. Bellows' report from the Justice Department, which has tentatively scheduled its release for Monday. I feel that I am exonerated, said Mr. Trulock, 53, who left the Energy Department in August 1999. I knew that racial profiling had not been employed and that certainly I'm not a racist. Dr. Lee's lead attorney, Mark Holscher, said he had not seen Mr. Bellows' report and could not comment. The 800-page report stems from an internal probe into the Chinese espionage investigation ordered by former Attorney General Janet Reno in May 1999, shortly after Dr. Lee was fired from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Dr. Lee and his wife, Sylvia, have filed a suit against the FBI, Justice Department and Energy Department alleging that Dr. Lee's privacy was violated by government leaks of his name to the press during the investigation. Dr. Lee is also locked in a dispute with federal government censors over whether his forthcoming autobiography violates security rules.

[CTRL] BBC: Japanese World War II officer says germ tests carried out on live Chinese
-Caveat Lector- http://newsreal.yellowbrix.com/pages/newsreal/Story.nsp?story_id=22742299I D=newsrealscategory=Internet Japanese World War II officer says germ tests carried out on live Chinese Source: BBC Monitoring Asia Pacific - Political Publication date: 2001-08-08 Text of report in English by official Chinese news agency Xinhua (New China News Agency) Beijing, 8 August: A former Japanese officer has admitted that he and his unit dissected live Chinese people and produced deadly bacteria to harm enemies during the World War II. Yoshio Shinozuka, 78, admitted that he raised fleas intended to spread deadly diseases and participated in the production of bacteria such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery and anthrax as well as dissecting dying Chinese people, whom they called logs. Wednesday's [8 August] China Daily reported. He took part in five live human anatomies within two months during the war. The veteran said Tuesday that he is anguished over the cruelty his division, Unit 731, perpetrated on Chinese victims in Pingfang, a city in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province during the period. It is our responsibility to make this hidden history known to the whole world, Shinozuka said, according to the newspaper. Shinozuka is now a standing member of the Association of Japanese Veteran Returnees From China, which was founded by veterans in 1957. It has 270 members at present, whose average age is over 80. The veteran regrets that the Japanese government now still wants to cover up the brutality, and he strongly opposes Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's plan to visit the Yasukuni Shrine next week, according to the China Daily.

SCIENTIFIC STUDIES CONFIRM CROP CIRCLES ARE MADE BY BALLS OF LIGHT
31/07/2001
DR ELTJO HASELHOFF is one of the few people on planet
Earth to have had a paper published on crop circles in
a peer-reviewed scientific journal ('Physiologa
Plantarum'). His paper asserts that the
long-recognised connection of crop circles to balls of
light may be even stronger than many think. Here, in
layman's terms, Dr Haselhoff outlines the important
findings of his paper.
Over the years, numerous people have claimed that they
have seen how a crop circle was created by one or more
balls of light.
Recent scientific studies have confirmed these
statements: Circumstantial evidence has shown that
crop circles may very well be made by 'balls of light'
indeed! This article explains the essential elements
of these studies in simple terms.
NODE LENGTHENING
The stems of corn-type plants are characterised by
little 'knuckles', at several positions along the
stems (see Figure 1). These nodes act as a kind of
ligament. They allow the plants to bend towards the
light, even after they have grown to their full
length.
In the early 1990s, the American biophysicist William
Levengood discovered that plants inside crop circles
often had much longer nodes than those in the
undisturbed, surrounding crop. This effect is
illustrated in Figure 2.
Although there are known biological effects that can
create node lengthening, these could be easily ruled
out. It was clear that something else had happened.
The effect could be simulated by placing normal,
healthy stems inside a microwave oven. The heat
induced by the microwaves made the liquids inside the
nodes expand, just like the mercury inside a
thermometer. This caused the nodes to increase in
length, while the amount of lengthening increased
proportionally to the amount of microwave energy that
was generated.
This finding led to the conclusion that the node
lengthening effect may be caused by the involvement of
heat, possibly caused by microwave radiation. In fact,
traces of heat have been found innumerable times in
crop circles all over the world, such as dehydrated
plants, burn marks, and molten snow.
BALLS OF LIGHT
The number of 'balls of light' that have been seen by
eyewitnesses has increased considerably over the last
couple of years. Sized somewhere between an egg and a
football, these bright, fluorescent, flying light
objects seem to be somehow related to the crop circle
phenomenon. They often appear in the fields during the
night a crop circle forms, and have been seen (and
filmed!) many times in and around crop circles.
Several persons have even claimed that they witnessed
how these balls of light actually created a crop
circle.
SCIENCE RESPONDS
In the year 1999, William Levengood and Nancy Talbott
published a scientific paper [1] that contained a
study to the node lengthening effect in three
different crop circles, two in England and one in the
USA. The authors presented a 'quantitative analysis';
in other words, the article tried to explain the
AMOUNT of node lengthening throughout the crop circle,
by means of physical models. The authors concluded
that the heat (that had made the nodes swell) was
electromagnetic in origin.
One year later, I contributed a paper reacting to the
one by Levengood and Talbott. This article appeared
early 2001 [2]. The paper reinterpreted the data
published by Levengood and Talbott and showed that the
node lengthening as measured in all three crop circles
could be perfectly explained by assuming that a 'ball
of light' had caused the node swelling effect. An
identical analysis performed on a famous man-made
formation (Dreischor, Holland, 1997) did not show
these characteristics at all.
My statements can be interpreted as follows: Imagine a
dark room with one single light bulb hanging on the
ceiling. If you switch on the light, you will notice
that right below the light bulb the light intensity on
the floor will be brightest. Towards the edges of the
room, the floor will gradually become darker. This
light distribution on the floor is well understood,
and can be described with high accuracy.
The exact light distribution on the floor depends on
the HEIGHT of the light bulb. When the light bulb is
hanging very low, almost touching the floor, the floor
underneath the light bulb will be very bright, but the
intensity will rapidly become less as you move away
from it (see Figure 3, left). When the light is
hanging high on the ceiling, however, the light
intensity underneath the light will be much less and
be more evenly distributed over the floor (see Figure
3, right). Because this mechanism is so well known,
one can actually derive the height of the light bulb
after measuring the light distribution on the floor.
This is what I suggested. As explained above, the
swollen nodes inside the crop circles may
[CTRL] NM: Lawyer: Secret Evidence Will Tie Condit to Chandra's Disappearance
-Caveat Lector- With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2001 11:42 p.m. EDT Lawyer: Secret Evidence Will Tie Condit to Chandra's Disappearance A lawyer for flight attendant Anne Marie Smith, who blew the lid off the Chandra Levy case in July when she alleged that California congressman Gary Condit tried to silence her regarding their relationship, said Tuesday night that still secret evidence will tie Condit to Levy's disappearance. Smith's attorney Jim Robinson hinted at the bombshell insider information when pressed on his previous comments by Fox News Channel's Hannity Colmes. HANNITY: You said the last time you were on the program that if the American people knew all that you knew about Gary Condit, they'd be shocked and outraged. ... Will you be coming forward with more information? Will Anne Marie Smith be coming forward with any more? ROBINSON: It depends on the way things break. HANNITY: Based on this knowledge, I've got to ask you a very serious question. I can tell as you're speaking that you have a lot of a passion about this. And I know you're defending your client, who I found to be very credible in her interview with Rita Cosby. Do you think he's involved, based on this information that you're not sharing with the public, in the disappearance of Chandra Levy? ROBINSON: Yes. HANNITY: You do. ROBINSON: Absolutely. Casting further suspicion on the California congressman was CNBC's Geraldo Rivera, who quoted a source close to Levy's parents Tuesday night who said they now believe Condit was involved in a plot to have the 24-year-old missing intern killed. The fact of the matter is that the family has a bundle of information, Rivera told his audience. They have the conversations - they're the ones who spoke directly to Condit on the phone. They're the ones who spoke to Chandra as the relationship was evolving. They, along with the aunt, Linda Zamsky, are the ones to whom she confided more or less what was going on. And they come to this conclusion. That he killed her. [Or] he was part of a conspiracy that killed her. Or unintentionally, he said, 'You know something, that b---h is gonna screw my whole career. Oh my God, I wish this thing never happened.' And then someone listening to that, some Condit crazy, goes out and does the dirty deed.

[CTRL] NYP: PAN AM BOMBER HIRES DERSHOWITZ FOR APPEAL
-Caveat Lector- NYPOST PAN AM BOMBER HIRES DERSHOWITZ FOR APPEAL By NILES LATHEM August 9, 2001 -- WASHINGTON - Famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz has signed on with an international legal team working to overturn the conviction of a Libyan intelligence agent for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The move sparked outrage from the families of the 270 people who were killed when the jumbo jet was blown out of the sky over Lockerbie, Scotland. The high-profile Harvard law professor said he has been retained by a British law firm handling the appeal of terrorist Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, who was convicted of the mass murder earlier this year by a Scottish court convened in the Netherlands. Dershowitz, who is active in Jewish causes and outspoken on the need for the United States to do more to fight terrorism, said he became convinced after being asked to review the trial record that the wrong man may have been convicted. Dershowitz's decision to help the Libyan government-backed legal team has angered some of the victims' families who believe strongman Moammar Khadafy will use him for propaganda purposes. Who is paying for all of this legal talent? I doubt they are holding bake sales in Tripoli, said New Jersey resident Susan Cohen, whose daughter died on the Boeing 747. He's an expert in American law, not Scottish law, and so I think the real reason the Libyans want him is to go on TV and spread doubt in the minds of the American public about this case, Cohen added. Dershowitz, insisting that he shares Cohen's feelings about Khadafy, said he does not believe he is representing the Libyan government, and added that his fees will be donated to Jewish charities in the Boston area. This is one of the worst crimes in history, and whoever did it belongs in prison for the rest of his life, he said. But if this was a death-penalty case in Texas, civil libertarians would be up in arms over the conviction of a man on the basis of very questionable eyewitness testimony. Megrahi was one of two Libyan intelligence agents brought to trial in Camp Zeist in the Netherlands. Evidence in the trial, largely collected by the FBI, linked him to the placement of a radio boombox in a suitcase in Malta that eventually found its way onto the doomed London-to-New York flight.
