-Caveat Lector- From: "Mike Ruppert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> THERE WILL BE NO HEARINGS ON VOLUME II IN THE HOUSE PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE IN FEBRUARY 11:53 AM - Tues, Jan, 5, 1998 Los Angeles - Just minutes ago I hung up after speaking with a source on the House Permanent Select committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). The source stated that, contrary to previously published reports in The San Jose Mercury News, it would not be possible for HPSCI to hold hearings on Volume II any sooner than February. The cited reasons for this are telling. The Committee is not yet constituted and there are several key vacancies. Ranking Democrat Norman Dicks (D), Washington has rotated out of the Committee after eight years. This was mandatory. Jane Harman (R) CA, left the House to run for Governor and Congressman David Skaggs (D), CO has retired. These vacancies leave open the possibility for serious and important developments. The Ranking Democratic member will wield enormous influence and will, next to the Chairman (retired CIA operative Porter Goss), have a lot to say about the scope and nature of the hearings on Vol. II. The new ranking member will be chosen by House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt who will, no doubt, consult with President Clinton beforehand. Wish List: Maxine Waters as a new member of the Committee. Better yet - as ranking member! Given the pressure already placed on the Committee by public pressure to hold well publicized hearings with a reasonable witness list I now think it unlikely that HPSCI will hold hearings at all before the planned April 29th demonstration at Florence and Normandie. My story on the Calculus of Impeachment including CIA drug dealing has been picked up by the Progressive Review www.prorev.com and apparently the Drudge report as well. I had four visitors to my web site, www.copvcia.com, this AM from the drudge page. The progressive review has added additional material making my scenario even more likely and credible. That story is producing the biggest "AHA!" I have ever heard from both the left and the right. A lot of people are now actually reading Vol. II. Remember that the Bully Pulpit can, at any time, draw attention to Volume II. So can the people if they put their mind to it.
