And these felonies have hardly anything to do with the White House, either. "Hardly," of course, is the Clintonesque weasel-word in that last sentence. . . . In this case, we have misappropriation and misapplication of public funds, misconduct in office and misfeasance. There is also an ongoing conspiracy of long duration to carry out the above. Any good lawyer could probably add a few more crimes to this list, but those will get us going for now. Oh, and just to add a little flavor to the story, most of the conspirators, and the majority of both Houses of Congress (most of them are not directly involved in this), admit this is true. Among the conspirators are the past and present Secretary of State, certain members of the Army and Air Force, certain employees of the EPA, and a number of management-level employees in at least twelve other federal agencies. Many members of government don't seem to see the "crime" here. Or, at least publicly they won't admit they do. So let's define our terms enough to show them that there is clear-cut wrongdoing deserving of prosecution. Our Barron's Law Dictionary defines misappropriation and misapplication as: "The use of funds or property for a purpose other than that for which they are intended or legally required to be used. Misapplication and misappropriation particularly apply to acts of fiduciary [one in a position of trust], including public servants as well as private trustees. The term can include the misapplication of funds intended for another purposes, e.g., the misapplication of public money. . ." Misconduct in Office is defined as: "Corrupt misbehavior by an officer in the exercise of the duties of the office or while acting under color of the office; includes any act or omission in breach of a duty of public concern by one who has accepted public office." Misfeasance is "the doing of a proper act in a wrongful or injurious manner; the improper performance of an act which might have been lawfully done." With that taken care of, now we can get to the particulars. Back in the Carter Administration there was a big international agreement which many countries signed onto. The United States agreed, in part. And, like always, the American taxpayer got stuck paying big bucks for something that had zero benefit for the American public. The key word there was "agreement." It was not an international treaty. President Carter agreed, in part, and implemented part of the agreement through an executive memoranda. The administration then secured minimal program funding from Congress. A committee was formed, made up of members of various federal agencies, the State Department, the Army, and the Air Force. But, Carter lost the election. Reagan became President. And this agreement was costing us big bucks. So, out it went. Funding was stopped, and the program was over. Well, on the books -- as far as Congress knew -- the funding was stopped, anyway. In reality, little changed. The story gets a bit foggy during the last two years of the Reagan Administration and throughout the Bush Administration. But, based on the actions of the committee running the program -- as you will see shortly -- it's obvious that they did not lack for funding. The State Department kicked in a million dollars a year or so to keep the project going. The Army and Air Force contributed big bucks most years. So did at least thirteen federal agencies involved in the project. The committee proceeded on for thirteen continuous years that way. Every year, Congress designated funds for specific needs of these federal agencies and departments, and every year, for thirteen years, bureaucrats from these different federal agencies and departments diverted a part of their funding to support a project that was legally canceled. Nothing ever showed up on the federal budget, but every year the U.S. National Committee for the Man and the Biosphere Program was well funded with misappropriated and misapplied taxpayer dollars. It still is, too; sixteen years later. Members of the military have a shortage of fuel and ammunition with which to train. But still, the Army and the Air Force found money to help fund an illegal bureaucracy. Some of the ambassador's residencies around the world are in such disrepair that the roofs leak and the plumbing will not work. Yet the State Department poured millions of taxpayer dollars into a project that was legally canceled. Federal agencies with mandated duties . . . err . . . well, let's just say that they had no authority to spend the money that way. Actually, it would be to our benefit if most federal agencies were totally defunded. But, that's another story. The point is, EPA, BLM, and the rest of those agencies misappropriated money. And it ends up totaling a lot of money! Now comes the Man and the Biosphere Committee itself, and even different offenses. Because, this was the group -- most of whom work for federal agencies and know better -- that intentionally received the misapplied and misappropriated money sixteen years in a row. They knew they had no authorization to exist. They knew the funds they received were legally designated for other programs. Yet, they wrongfully participated in this illegal scam year after year anyway. And the majority of Congress agreed it is wrong: On April 24, 1997, Rep. Coburn offered an amendment to the National Science Foundation budget stating that: "No funds appropriated pursuant to this Act shall be used for the United States Man and Biosphere Program, or related projects." Coburn spelled out the law for the House: "It is important that the people recognize that the Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage sites are under the guidance of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization also known as UNESCO. The United States withdrew from that Organization in 1984 because of gross financial mismanagement. "Over 68 percent of our national parks, preserves, and monuments have been designated as United Nations World Heritage sites, Biosphere Reserves or both. There are currently 47 of those sites [94 actually] in the United States, covering an area the size of Colorado. Under the relative agreements, the United States is promising to manage lands in accordance with international guidelines. Many times local governments, [and] private property [owners] are never consulted in these management plans. This is a clear violation of private property rights. The biosphere programs, including the United States Man and Biosphere Program, have never been authorized by any Congress, never been authorized, but still received [funds] this past year and this year will receive over $700,000 of taxpayers' money. "The National Science Foundation distributed more than $400,000 in grants to this unauthorized program despite the fact that the program has never had a consideration or vote in Congress and has never been approved by a body of the Congress." The amendment passed. That was April 1997. On June 5, the liberals responded with a correction for the problem. Reps. Brown and Miller, both liberal Democrats from California, introduced H.R. 1801: A bill "To authorize the United States Man and the Biosphere Program." The bill was quickly voted down and an amendment to ban the financing of biospheres was added to a few appropriations bills and passed easily. Which means, all biosphere reserves that exist today are illegal. So too are all those UNESCO signs at the entrance to many of our parks. However, they are still there. The Man and the Biosphere Program is still operating. Bureaucrats are still wasting taxpayer's money on a project after they were told by law to stop. So, Mister and Mrs. American Citizen, now what do we do about those bureaucrats who misappropriated all that money and wrongly bothered thousands of American families with their totally unauthorized project? Quite obviously, prosecution is warranted. Your responsibility, then, is to tell them so. ~ End ~ ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
