He was a man, I assume a large student, wearing a long black trench coat and was arrested at rifle point, hand cuffed, and then escorted to a police car.

[CTRL] Japan's Whistleblowing Criminals
-Caveat Lector- "A new class of ''corporate racketeers' extort money from brokerage houses by threatening to publicly divulge incriminating information about them "A total of 31 executives from Japan's top five brokerage companies have been indicted on corruption charges, and 25 of them have been convicted" Japan Corporate Racketeer Sentenced TOKYO (AP) -- A corporate racketeer was sentenced to nine months in prison today for taking $104 million in illegal payoffs and loans from Japan's top stock brokerages and a bank, a court spokesman said. Ryuichi Koike, 55, was convicted of violating the commerce law by illegally accepting the payoffs in exchange for not interrupting the companies' annual shareholders meetings. The Tokyo District Court also fined him $5.8 million, a court spokesman said on customary condition of anonymity. Koike received the money in 1994 and 1995 from all of Japan's ``Big Four'' brokerages -- Nomura Securities Co., Daiwa Securities Co., Nikko Securities Co. and the now-defunct Yamaichi Securities Co. He also received illegal loans totaling $98 million through a Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank subsidiary between 1994 and 1996. ``The defendant repeatedly conducted racketeering as a profession and therefore cannot avoid serious blame for carrying out the crimes'' Kyodo News agency quoted the court ruling as saying. The court also blamed the companies for prolonging the crimes by using the defendant's influence as a racketeer to their benefit, instead of taking measures to cut their ties with him, Kyodo said. The racketeers, known as ``sokaiya,'' threaten to disrupt shareholder meetings by divulging embarrassing information about companies unless they are paid off. The disclosure of Koike's operation has rocked the Japanese corporate world and led to several high-profile arrests. A total of 31 former executives of the five companies have been charged, and 25 of them have been convicted, including five Nomura executives who received suspended prison terms, Kyodo reported.

[CTRL] Trenchcoat Mafia Profile
-Caveat Lector- Colorado Suspects Called Outcasts By ROBIN McDOWELL .c The Associated Press LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) -- They are called the ``Trench Coat Mafia,'' a group of about 10 students who wear long black coats, keep to themselves and follow shock rocker Marilyn Manson. Despite their dark lifestyle, they had not shown an inclination for violence before Tuesday, according to some of their fellow students at Columbine High School. Authorities and school district officials said they had never heard of the group. ``We were not aware of the Trench Coat Mafia until today,'' Superintendent Jane Hammond said Tuesday. A reference to the group in last year's Columbine yearbook reveals nothing more than general teen-age exuberance. Even so, some students said they believed the two gunmen who went on a shooting rampage at Columbine were members of the group. Classmates and Denver media identified the gunmen as Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Police refused to identify them. Sean Kelly, a 16-year-old student, said Harris and several members of the group made a video in class about guns they had. He also said that several members recently bragged about getting new guns. Some students said the killers targeted minorities and athletes. Kelly said he heard Trench Coat Mafia members making ``generally derogatory remarks'' about blacks and Hispanics. Student Andrew Beard, said Harris and Klebold often said they ``hated the jocks'' ``because they thought they could do anything they wanted, walk through life smoothly.'' Beard said members of the group often came to school in steel-toed combat boots, some of them wearing Nazi crosses. A dedication to the Trench Coat Mafia in the 1998 Columbine yearbook lists 13 members and carries the following message: ``Who says we are different? Insanity's healthy! Remember rocking parties at Kristen's, foosball at Joe's and fencing at Christopher's! Stay alive, stay different, stay crazy. Oh, and stay away from CREAM SODA!!! Love always, the chicks.'' But other students had developed a less innocent image of the group. ``They're really dark people,'' said Wes Lammers, a 17-year-old junior. ``There were a lot of jokes that one day they might snap or something.'' Casey Brackley, 15, said she was very aware of the group even though it was small. ``I never saw them threaten anybody or bully anybody, but we avoided them because they were different,'' she said. ``Anyone dressed in black you're scared of because it signifies gothic or death.'' Added Josh Nielsen, a 17-year-old junior: ``They're not well-liked in the school and no one treated them well.'' DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] NATO Standing In the Way of OUR (!) War in the Balkans
-Caveat Lector- Lawmakers Say NATO Slows Down War By TOM RAUM .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- NATO's cumbersome procedures are sharply limiting Army Gen. Wesley Clark's military options in Yugoslavia, some lawmakers are suggesting. ``The NATO consulting process is slowing down the war,'' said Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah. ``And if you win it -- what do you win? First prize is 50 years in Kosovo. I'm not sure that's a prize I want to win,'' Bennett said. Congressional frustration is increasing over NATO's caution and its constant need for a consensus -- amounting to what many suggest is a war by committee. ``But for NATO, we would not be in this fight, and because of NATO, we can't win this fight,'' Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., told Secretary of State Madeleine Albright as she defended NATO's role on Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. She strongly disagreed -- although conceded NATO's was a little rusty as a military machine. ``NATO is the right instrument, and while it has never fought a war, it is doing a pretty darn good job doing it,'' she said. ``We need to hone it, but we are on the right track.'' But calls are increasing in the Republican-led Senate for more direct action to stop Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's aggression against Kosovo's ethnic Albanians. A bipartisan group of seven senators led by 2000 GOP presidential hopeful John McCain of Arizona filed a resolution Tuesday that would authorize ground troops in Kosovo -- even though the administration has not requested them. ``When a president threatens a war he should plan for it,'' McCain said late Tuesday in satellite remarks to the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas. ``President Clinton seems neither to have a plan A nor a plan B.'' Other lawmakers have called for even more direct action to try to overthrow Milosevic. ``I think we should put a Tomahawk missile through Milosevic's bedroom window,'' said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Ted Stevens, R-Alaska. But removing Milosevic is not part of NATO's strategy. Albright made that clear earlier Tuesday at a White House briefing when asked if she thought Milosevic should be removed -- and how that would be achieved. ``That is not ... our goal for this conflict,'' she responded. That goal, ``as we have all said, is to try to get the Serb forces out of Kosovo, the refugees back into Kosovo and have the protection of an international security force,'' she added. The bombing campaign is not a U.S.-only operation, but is subject to review by the other 18 NATO countries. And NATO may need Milosevic one day to enforce terms of a peace agreement. The United States says its prefers to have a democratic government in place in Belgrade -- but is short on details on how that might be accomplished. NATO's cautious position toward Milosevic was underscored Tuesday when British Prime Minister Tony Blair suggested allies will ``carry on until he does step down.'' Jamie Shea, the NATO spokesman, quickly clarified Blair's remarks by saying NATO policy was to get Milosevic to ``back down'' rather than ``step down.'' To be sure, the four-week-old air campaign against Yugoslavia is run by a four-star American Army general -- Clark. But military planners from other NATO nations are closely watching over his shoulder. ``I think we've been able to strengthen the consensus process in NATO,'' Clark recently told a group of U.S. reporters in his command post in Mons, Belgium, about 30 miles from NATO headquarters in Brussels. ``And I think that's very evident in the increasingly smooth flow of the air campaign.'' But lawmakers who have been to Europe to meet with Clark tell a different story, suggesting he is being hamstrung. ``General Clark just does not have the options he needs,'' said Sen. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., a senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee. ``He needs a consensus finding for targets and for objectives. As a result, General Clark is bound by that consensus.'' A bad omen for NATO on the eve of its 50th anniversary celebration? Not really, said Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, senior Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, and a strong NATO booster. And he says he fully expects NATO to be around for its 100th birthday, as well, ``because it serves an ongoing useful function.'' ``It's extraordinary how NATO's new nations, like Hungary, are willing to take risks for a common cause here,'' Levin said. ``And the common cause this time is an important one. NATO will prove itself by succeeding in not allowing Milosevic to ethnically cleanse Kosovo.'' EDITOR'S NOTE -- Tom Raum covers national and international affairs for The Associated Press.

[CTRL] Oil-Rich Venezuela Rejects U.S. Control
-Caveat Lector- Venezuela Accuses U.S. of Meddling CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez's government accused the United States on Tuesday of meddling in its foreign relations and said it will support Cuba, Iran and China in U.N. votes on human rights. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jose Vicente Rangel said that while relations between the two countries generally are good, ``at times there have been pressures'' by U.S. officials trying to influence Venezuela's foreign policy. ``Venezuela doesn't allow itself to be pressured by anyone,'' Rangel told reporters. He said he was instructing Venezuela's delegates to the U.N. Human Rights Commission in Geneva to vote in favor of Cuba, Iran and China. The group'a annual six-week meeting started March 22. Rangel criticized the nearly four-decade-old U.S. embargo against Cuba, saying that the United States should not demand respect for human rights ``while there is an embargo against a small third country in violation of international human rights.'' Chavez was barred from entering the U.S. after he led a failed coup attempt in 1992, but the ban was lifted after his landslide victory last December.

It meant he wasn't born to be ethnically cleansed from his home town by Croatian fascist paramilitaries. Life IS a crapshoot, is it not? Get born in one year, you live long and prosper. Get born in another and die in a camp. Then there's place. Get born one place , you die getting bombed from the air. But get born in another place and you die getting bombed from a truck.

[CTRL] A New Federal Aviation Profiling System
-Caveat Lector- Write some letters, dudes -- Forwarded by Lyn McCloskey/Towers Perrin on 04/21/99 09:13 AM --- SCAN THIS NEWS 4/21/99 The Federal Aviation Administration has just announced a new proposed rule requiring commercial airlines to adopt and implement new baggage/passenger screening policies. Our "NoNID" (No National ID) campaign uses an orange ribbon because airline passengers who does not carry proper, government-issued ID are tagged at the airports with an orange ribbon or sticker. Jackie Juntti (the Grassroots Granny of Washington State, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) was required to wear just such an orange ribbon in a recent flight and subsequently she adopted the orange ribbon campaign to symbolize resistance to national identification and monitoring schemes. More anecdotal information will follow soon. Scott --- Attention! A New Federal Profiling System: A new proposed regulation by the Federal Aviation Administration for enhanced standards for passenger profiling. Free Congress will be preparing comments and would be happy to furnish any group with information who is willing to do the same. I would encourage everyone to send comments and urge others to do the same. Organizations and individuals can both send comments to the FAA. Here is the information needed for those interested in reading up on the issue. Free Congress will be preparing a memo outlining the dangers related to passenger profiling and enhanced security measures with regard to checked baggage security. It will be similar to the one done late last year on the Know Your Customer program. This memo will be available on our website no later than Thursday, April 22nd. Thank you. Lisa S.

Airlines will use a secret algorithm to compare travelers' personal data to profiles of likely terrorists, according to a new proposed federal regulation. Other travelers will be chosen at random. Critics complain the plan shows that Gore doesn't really support privacy. Last May, the vice president told an audience of graduating students at New York University that privacy "is a basic American value." "He's been talking about privacy and the protection of personal information online, but those principles that he talks about don't parallel what he's done. He's tried to force intrusive measures into law," says Lisa Dean, vice president of the Free Congress Foundation. "We'd have even more of this with a President Gore."

[CTRL] Littleton on Sollog Line
-Caveat Lector- This Sollog character is often wrong in his "predictions" (but he never trumpets his misses). Still, for conspiratologists anyway, his "line of tragedy" angle on Littleton massacre is intriguing. From http://www.theeunderground.net/Features/features248littleton.shtml School Shooting in Littleton Colorado! Bizarre connection between shootings at Columbine High and other school shootings! Welcome to Thee Under Ground Net Bizarre connection in Columbine High shooting! How rash of school shootings connect to each other! By JP Essene Editor of Thee Under Ground Net 4/20/99 Ripleys believe it or not... The latest school shooting by the Trench Coat Mafia, in Littleton Colorado at Columbine High School is CONNECTED in a most BIZARRE way to the rash of school shootings that have been occurring all over the US the past couple of years. I've written many articles about all these shootings and knew another would occur any day. IT WAS OVER DUE. And it did occur EXACTLY where I warned in my other articles on these school shooting that all have something in common. It struck THE EXACT MIDDLE OF A LINE that I've been writing about since early 1995. This BIZARRE LINE OF TRADEGY is known on my infamous site as THE SOLLOG LINE OF TRAGEDY. I've referred to it in countless articles before. Many other TRAGEDIES besides these school shootings have struck it as well. The Oklahoma City Bombing Jon Bennet Ransey's Death Versaces Death Michael Kennedy's Death Just to name a few of the other infamous TRAGEDIES that have ALL STRUCK THE LINE OF SOLLOG. You can find 1000's of referenences to this LINE OF TRAGEDY in USENET as well. The LINE OF SOLLOG came to be in 1995, when Sollog started warning about the FUTURE and NUKES in papers in the Philadelphia area. He then sued the US government over NUKES and again wrote about THIS LINE in detail in his case, and also about many other events IN THE FUTURE in remarkable detail. So exact was the details of FUTURE EVENTS like TWA 800 and Diana's Death that the European media calls him NOSTRADAMUS of the 90's. He guaranteed in 1995 that certain types of TRAGEDIES like these bizarre shootins would all occur on a STRAIGHT line across the US. They then occurred and they have indeed struck the SOLLOG LINE of tragedy across the HEART OF AMERICA. As I noted in my other articles, Springfield in Oregon and Jackson Mississippi are both ON THE SOLLOG LINE. When you connect the school shootings that did not occur ON THE SOLLOG line, another STRAIGHT LINE is formed by the locations of the shootings in Jonesboro, Peducah and PA. The TWO School Shooting Lines just happen to INTERSECT in the birth place of that scumbag in the Whitehouse, aka Bill Clinton. You know the ass that just started World War III in the Balkans. It's also a FACT, that the EXACT POINT IN THE MIDDLE of the two previous shootings ON THE SOLLOG LINE is EXACTLY where this latest shooting occurred. LITTLETON is the halfway point between the school shootings that occurred in Springfield Oregon and Jackson Mississippi directly ON THE SOLLOG LINE. Look at this map of the US. Map of US schootings. Is this a coincidence? NOT It is a WARNING that NUKES are near, says the WORD OF ONE aka Sollog. With events in the BALKANS you KNOW NUKES may indeed be around the corner. Thanks to the admitted LIAR, ADULTERER, PERJURER and MURDERER from the capital in DC. To sum up these shootings. In 1995 Sollog WARNED of NUKES, and he GUARANTEED a line of tragedy would appear across the US. This line indeed connects many tragic events to each other. Sollog says THESE DEATHS of innocent lives, are all angels who came to GIVE YOU A MESSAGE about NUKES. Are you listening... I'll just call this shooting Another SIGN from THE PROPHET OF HAYAH aka Sollog...

Trochmann Sent: Monday, April 19, 1999 10:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mom-l] THE KOSOVO LIBERATION ARMY: Does Clinton Policy Support Group With Terror, Drug Ties? THE KOSOVO LIBERATION ARMY: Does Clinton Policy Support Group With Terror, Drug Ties? From Terrorists, to Partners March 31, 1999 by United States Senate Republican Policy Committee, Larry Craig, Chairman On March 24, 1999, NATO initiated air attacks on Yugoslavia (a federation of two republics, Serbia and Montenegro) in order to impose a peace agreement in the Serbian province of Kosovo, which has an ethnic Albanian majority. The Clinton Administration has not formally withdrawn its standing insistence that Belgrade sign the peace agreement, which would entail the deployment in Kosovo of some 28,000 NATO ground troops -- including 4,000 Americans -- to police the settlement. But in recent days the Clinton public line has shifted to a demand that Yugoslav President Slobo-dan Milosevic halt the offensive he has launched in Kosovo, which has led to a growing humanitarian crisis in the region, before there can be a stop to the bomb-ing campaign. One week into the bombing cam-paign, there is widespread discussion of options for further actions. One option includes forging a closer relationship between the United States and a contro-versial group, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), a group which has been cited in unofficial reports for alleged ties to drug cartels and Islamic terrorist or-ganizations. This paper will examine those allegations in the context of the currently unfolding air campaign. Results of Week One The air assault is a product of a Clinton policy, which for months has been directed toward intervention in Kosovo, in either the form of the use of air power or of the introduction of a peacekeeping ground force -- or of air power followed by a ground force. [For details on the turbulent history of Kosovo and of the direction of Clinton policy leading to the current air cam-paign, see: RPC's "Senate to Vote Today on Preventing Funding of Military Op-erations in Kosovo: Airstrikes Likely This Week," 3/23/99; "Bombing, or Ground Troops -- or Both: Clinton Kosovo Intervention Appears Immi-nent," 2/22/99; and "Bosnia II: The Clinton Administration Sets Course for NATO Intervention in Kosovo," 8/12/98.] Just hours before the first bombs fell, the Senate voted 58 to 41 (with 38 Republicans voting in the nega-tive) to authorize air and missile strikes against Yugoslavia (S. Con. Res. 21). The Senate then approved by voice vote a second resolution expressing support for members of the U.S. Armed Forces en-gaged in military operations against Yugoslavia (S. Res. 74). Prior to the air campaign, the stated goal of Clinton policy, as noted above, was Belgrade's acceptance of the peace agreement signed by the Kosovo Alba-nian delegation (which included repre-sentatives of the KLA) on March 17. Now, more than a week into the air cam-paign, that goal appears even more elu-sive as the NATO attack has rallied Ser-bian resistance to what they see as an unjustified foreign aggression. Since the NATO bombing campaign began, Serbian security forces also have intensified an offensive in Kosovo that began as the airstrikes appeared inevita-ble. According to numerous media re-ports, tens of thousands of Albanians are fleeing the Serb army, and police forces and paramilitary groups that, based on credible allegations, are committing widespread atrocities, including sum-mary executions, burnings of Albanian villages, and assassination of human rights activists and community leaders. Allied officials have denounced the ap-parently deliberate forced exodus of Al-banian civilians as ethnic cleansing and even genocide. But according to some refugee accounts, the NATO bombing is also a factor in the exodus: "[M]ost resi-dents of the provincial capital say they are leaving of their own accord and are not being forced out at gunpoint, as resi-dents of several western cities and vil-lages in Kosovo say has been happening to them. . . . Pristina residents who made it to Macedonia said their city is still largely intact, despite the targeting of ethnic Albanian businesses by Serbian gangs and several direct hits from NATO air strikes in the city center" ["Cause of Kosovar Exodus from Pristina Disputed: Serbs Are Forcing Exit, Some Claim; Others Go on Own," Washington Times, 3/31/99]. At the same time, the Clinton Ad-ministration, consistent with its track re-cord on Kosovo, has ignored credible but unconfirmed evidence from sources not connected to Milosevic's

It was a nice shinny day yesterday, which - as we learned - is a very suitable for bombing, as well. I was trying not to think about it, and to relax my mind somehow, and I listened to the good old Bonzo Dog Band records for several hours, and did some drawings...But just in the early evening hours, the sky was getting cloudy, and - at least in this part of the country - the night was unusually quiet. Still, the city of Nis, in the Southern part of Serbia, was a target of the NATO strikes, with Tobacco Industry plant almost totaly destroyed...Some projectiles fell in the suburban area of the city as well, where the poor people dwell. As of Pancevo, soon after the whole mess with toxic materies was over (or is it?!?!), it is discovered that there is another danger - this time of the explosive materies which still remained in the Petrochemical plant complex...People from the parts of the town closest to the Petrochemical plant were now warned to move - during the air raids - to the safer places, and the buses are taking them away to schools and sports centers...Our appartment building is right on the edge between the "dangerous" and "more safe" area. Also, everyone from the "danger" zone was warned not to use the food from their gardens, etc., before it is tested by the experts. I read about some people from the forest area, who spotted an unexploded NATO missile in the wasteland. By the mere coicidence, when they were searching the ground around the projectile, the locals have found the remains of the parts of the old cannon (probably from the WW2)! There were pictures of them with two "weapons", old and new, suddenly appearing to the attention of the people from the distant area... There was another story about the man from the town of Kursumlija, who - instead of joining his family in the basement shelter, has decided to remain sleeping in his bed during the air raids. For some reason, the NATO projectile fell on the near-by empty shack, causing a large explosion, and a 20 meters long crater. The house was almost totally ruined, and part of the ceiling fell down, but the eldery man remained unhurt, laying in his bed..." I just opened my eyes, and saw the starry sky instead of the ceiling" - he said later. What's next? Bye Sasa DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend's wife Hillary's Ratings Take a Dive "Hmm. I better get over into the war zone quick." THE voters of New York seem to be going cool on the idea of electing Hillary Clinton as one of their senators. A poll released earlier this week showed that 52 per cent of New Yorkers now think Mrs Clinton should not run for the Senate, against 42 per cent who think she should. Polls taken in January, when the idea of her candidacy was first mooted, pointed to a landslide victory over Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the likely Republican candidate. This week's poll has Mrs Clinton and the Mayor almost neck and neck. Asked yesterday why she wanted to run for office in a state she had never lived in, Mrs Clinton said: "I love New York to start with. We have everything in New York that we have in America ... I have always been very excited by the dynamism of the people here and the real cutting-edge approach." The drop in her popularity, however, suggests that accusations of carpet-bagging, that she is using New York as no more than a stage for her wider political ambitions, and her husband's sagging approval ratings are starting to hurt. She remains most popular in the liberal stronghold of New York City, and least popular in the rural areas of upstate New York. This week is likely to be crucial in Mrs Clinton's final decision on whether to run. Friends have suggested that her early enthusiasm has been tempered by warnings of the likely mud-slinging of a campaign and the logistical difficulty of running for office while still living in the White House. At a lunch for succesful women in the media on Monday, however, speakers including Meryl Streep, jokingly thanked the First Lady for taking time off from flat-hunting to join them. Harold Ickes, the former White House deputy chief of staff and the likeliest manager of Mrs Clinton's campaign if she decides to run, said her meetings this week should give her a better feel for what a Senate campaign would entail. He said: "There will be more press, more people talking to her and so I think she'll come away with a much better feel about the intensity of the situation." Mrs Clinton will not be restricting herself to New York city on this trip. Yesterday, she ventured out to Long Island for a speech and tomorrow she will go up to Niagara Falls, the northernmost point in New York state, to make a speech to the politically powerful New York State United Teachers Union. In between, she will be hosting fund raising events for politicians who supported her husband through the year of impeachment. No formal announcement on her candidacy is expected until June or July. If she decides not to run, however, she is expected to take up an international role at the head of a major charity or with the United Nations. Her planned trip to Albania and Macedonia to meet refugees driven out of Kosovo by Serbian forces and to assess the humanitarian crisis should help her to decide if that is the route she would prefer. The London Telegraph, April 21, 1999 Der Fuhrer Invades Yugoslavia Who Is Running This War, Anyway? Take Britain, for example. Then Clark. THE Chief of the Defence Staff's office is next door to the Defence Secretary's. In the last weeks the green carpet on the sixth floor in the Ministry of Defence has grown worn as Britain's most senior soldier and his political master have met countless times a day to discuss Yugoslavia. Somewhere along the corridor the fuzzy border between military and political worlds is crossed. The key men running the war in Downing Street are Jonathan Powell, Tony Blair's chief of staff, John Sawers, the private secretary responsible for foreign affairs, and Alastair Campbell, the press secretary. They have day-to-day dealings with their opposite numbers in Washington and Nato headquarters in Brussels. For the men in uniform, this war, unlike the Gulf war, is an untidy affair. The "wiring diagram" of who commands what and who talks to whom is not the neat, linear, parade-ground affair of the Gulf. In Yugoslavia, it is more of a web - and webs are built to ensnare. As Britain's top military man, Gen Sir Charles Guthrie has command of all of our forces fighting for Nato.

[CTRL] Kosovo Crisis - Special Reports 44 - NATO at Odds with Itself
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.stratfor.com/crisis/kosovo/special45.htm A HREF="http://www.stratfor.com/crisis/kosovo/special45.htm"Kosovo Crisis - Special Reports 44 /A - NATO at Odds with Itself 21 Apr 99 - 0300 GMT Two massive cross-currents are at work within NATO. There is, on one hand, strong antipathy toward waging all-out war against Serbia. Consider that the European Union today was not able to pass a resolution barring the sale of oil to Serbia. The proposal was blocked by Greece and Italy, who justified their position by arguing that a blockade must be preceded by a UN resolution. Underlying the legal niceties was the fact that neither country wants an intensification of the war. Given that Greece and Italy are strategically essential to any ground war because of their port facilities, their unwillingness to simply endorse an oil embargo poses a serious challenge to any ground campaign. Equally negative were statements today by German Bundeswehr chief-of-staff Gen eral Hans-Peter von Kirchbach, who said today that NATO has "an option to intensify air operations," but that "there are no plans for other operations. We are convinced that it will not be necessary." On the other hand, the same Greek government that voted against an oil embargo did hint earlier today that its ports would be available for use in a ground war, a substantial softening of its position. The United States and Britain, at the other extreme, are trying to make it appear that a ground war is inevitable. Indeed, there are indications of a build-up of forces in Albania. The arrival of the 82nd Airborne Divisions advanced guard is more than a security force for the Apaches that have not yet arrived and the MLRS. They will be joined by other elements of their division, indicating that a build-up of forces for a ground war is already underway. Yet, at the very same time, NATOs request for an additional 300 U.S. combat aircraft has not yet been approved, with Pentagon planners saying they are considering the impact of such a large transfer of forces on other areas of the world. As we come into Fridays summit of NATO leaders in Washington, the cross-currents are dizzying. Just as pressure dramatically increases on Serbia due to the Greek shift on ports, the EUs decision on an oil embargo undermines that pressure. The creation of a deliberate sense of mystery about the build-up of forces in Albania then encounters a public unwillingness by the United States to commit requested aircraft. Statements from Washington and London that NATO is prepared to do whatever is necessary to solve the crisis is met by German officials saying that a ground attack is not necessary. The problem here is not public relations, but a deep split not only within NATO, but within each individual country over the future course of the war. There is simply no consensus emerging over what is to be done. Without such a consensus, NATO cannot act. Each time a consensus appears to be emerging and pressure on Milosevic builds, the consensus cracks apart and the pressure bleeds off. The current stalemate is less in the war than in NATO itself and even within the U.S. military. Agreement on the next step simply isnt emerging. The problem is partly political within countries. But the key problem remains military. The difficulties inherent in the ground option are daunting. The strategic implications of a major air build-up are similarly worrisome. Therefore, each day the world is whipped by conflicting signals. The only constancy in the signal is what the Serbs have clearly heard: NATO has not yet locked in a plan. Therefore Serbia continues to have room for maneuver. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations. Adieu, Adios, Aloha. Amen.

- SNETNEWS Mailing List the Russian-German Peace Proposal? -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 21:22:20 -0700 From: Michael Eisenscher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: LABNEWS - News and Organizing about the Labor Movement [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list LABNEWS [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Yugoslav Government Hi, your list seems to be running a LOT of stuff against the NATO bombings, so I wanted to pose the next article to those who argue that NATO should stop bombings and engage solely in diplomacy. -s Friday April 16 8:30 PM ET Yugoslavia Turns Down Annan's Peace Proposal By Anthony Goodman UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Yugoslavia rejected Friday a week-old Kosovo peace initiative by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and criticized the United Nations for failing to condemn ''aggression'' by NATO. ``Nothing but NATO bombs threatens peace in Kosovo,'' Yugoslav Foreign Minister Zivadin Jovanovic said in a letter to the U.N. chief. He complained that, despite repeated appeals for urgent action by the Security Council, ``nothing has been done thus far to condemn and halt this brutal aggression against my country.'' An annex to the letter disputed, point by point, the elements of the peace proposal that Annan sent to Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic on April 9 in hopes of resolving the crisis that witnessed the flight of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanians from the Serbian province of Kosovo. Annan's spokesman, Fred Eckhard, said the secretary-general ''was not surprised by Yugoslavia's response,'' delivered by Yugoslavia's U.N. envoy, Vladislav Jovanovic. ``He (Annan) feels that we are involved in a difficult, dangerous and intractable situation. As he said in Brussels this week, do not expect quick results. We are only at the beginning stage of our search for a diplomatic solution,'' the spokesman added. Annan, whose proposals were endorsed by European Union leaders at a meeting in the Belgian capital Wednesday, had said he would urge NATO to suspend its air attacks on Yugoslavia, if Yugoslav leaders accepted five conditions. They were: an immediate end to the ``campaign of intimidation and expulsion of the civilian population'' from Kosovo; a halt to all activities by Yugoslav military and paramilitary forces there; unconditional acceptance of the return of all refugees; acceptance of an international military force to ensure a secure environment for the refugees' return; and to permit the international community to verify compliance with those undertakings. Jovanovic wrote: ``There had not been, and there is no campaign of 'intimidation' or 'expulsion' of civilian population.'' He said the ``NATO aggression and bombing'' that started March 24 and caused ``enormous destruction of civilian buildings and mass civilian casualties,'' also caused ``an increased number of refugees and displaced persons.'' Kosovo was ``an inseparable part'' of Serbia and Yugoslavia and the police and military forces there ``perform their duties in accordance with our constitution and the law.'' All activities against ``the terrorist so-called KLA'' (Kosovo Liberation Army) ceased at 8 pm on April 6, he said, referring to a unilaterally announced cease-fire that he added was still in force. ``NATO daily mass bombings represent the only obstacle to the stabilization of life and to the return to the course of political process,'' Jovanovic said. Yugoslav forces in Kosovo represented ``a defense against the NATO aggression and serve as a shield against NATO troops built up in Albania and Macedonia and against aggression carried out from ...Albania under the protection ad with the assistance of NATO,'' he said. Once the ``aggression is ended and NATO troops are withdrawn from the Yugoslav border,'' the level of military and security forces would immediately be reduced ``to peacetime conditions.'' ``It is incomprehensible to request the withdrawal of the legitimate forces of a sovereign state from its own territory, instead of calling for an urgent ending of foreign military aggression, killing of civilians and destruction of civilian targets,'' Jovanovic declared. He said the safe return of refugees and displaced persons was ``the priority of our policy.'' On April 6 the governments of Yugoslavia and Serbia ``invited all citizens to stay on their land and those who fled to return safely.'' Their return was hampered by ``the systematic destruction of towns such as Pristine, Djakovica, Prizren, Decani and many other'' by NATO, he added. Jovanovic said Yugoslavia was continuing efforts to find a peaceful solution through direct dialogue with ``the legitimate representatives of the national communities of Kosovo'' and referred to talks with ethnic Albanian politician Ibrahim Rugova. ``The state is guaranteeing security to all its citizens and is also able to guarantee the implementation of a ratified peace agreement.

[CTRL] Fwd: [FTC] US Layoffs Up 11 Percent in March
Friends - FYI - Linda --- Linda, Pat is the ONLY one acknowledging the true state of our "goldilocks economy." I am tired of hearing how great our economy is doing. All of the people layed off over these past 10 years or so are, in most cases, not only making far less than they were, but they aren't paying as much as they would have been into Social Security. For many, these would have been their highest earning years prior to retirement. Nobody is mentioning the fact that the downsizing of millions of middle class Americans has drastically reduced this source of Social Security revenues. Even though I have an engineering degree, nobody seems to want to employ a middle aged white male such as myself. One thing's for sure--I know I'm not paying anything close to what I used to pay into Social Security. Brian L.

While voracious consumer spending has helped maintain overall economic strength, companies are still hampered by stiff pricing competition from abroad, said John Challenger, the companys chief executive officer.

[CTRL] Jesus in Archaeology and History - Resource site
-Caveat Lector- from: http://home.fireplug.net/~rshand/reflections/messiah/jesus.html A HREF="https://www.netbanx.com/cgi-bin/let_ltd/precode.pl"Jesus in Archaeology and History /A - Many embeds to articles and links. Om k - is (the Messianic Priest's) wisdom will be great. He will make atonement for all the children of His generation...His Word shall be as the Word of Heaven and His teaching shall be according to the will of God. His eternal sun shall burn brilliantly." - DSS 4QAaron (from the Dead Sea Scrolls)Christ on the Cross Bartolome Esteban Murillo, c.1660-1682 The Jesus of Theology 325 C.E. marks a pivotal event in the history of Christianity. The Roman emperor Constantine I summoned more than 250 bishops to Nicea in Turkey to resolve a rancorous dispute which was threatening to disrupt the newly won peace of his empire. While all the bishops agreed that Jesus was divine, they disagreed on whether he had existed with God before the beginning of time (as the Alexandrians believed); or had been created later and was subordinate to God (a position popularized by Arius of Antioch). Constantine, still an unbaptized pagan at the time, decided in favor of the pre-existence of Jesus. In addition he demanded that the bishops add to the creed (drawn up by Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea) that Christ was "of one substance" (homoousion in Greek). with the Father. It was theologically necessary that God himself had become mortal in order to make the hope that mortals may obtain eternal life more believable. Under pressure of banishment, the council agreed with only two dissenting votes. The true nature of the Son of God was now an ineffable mystery beyond human understanding. (To learn more about the first ecumenical council at Nicea, click here.) The Jesus of History Through the intervening centuries between then and now, the Nicene creed has remained the basic and unassailable doctrine of Christian faith. Jesus' sacrificial death gave man the key to salvation and his teachings and deeds were of secondary importance. It is only in modern times that any serious attempts have been made to learn about the Jesus of history. Somewhere between the messianic expectations of the Jews and the high christology of Paul was a real person who breathed and ate and was concerned with the daily tasks of living like the rest of us. Yet he made a profound impact on others, enough to gain a devoted, even fanatical, following and to earn the enmity of those who would engineer his death. The Real Jesus? is a critical examination into the life and times of Jesus. If we dare to look truthfully through the accumulated centuries of obfuscation and mystery, what will we uncover about Jesus the man? What did he really say and do? And, more importantly, is there anything we can learn from the historical Jesus that will give us a new perspective on our lives today? Gospel narratives are now color-coded according to voting by the Jesus Seminar. "The Real Jesus?" is constantly being revised and expanded in the light of new information.

-Caveat Lector- In Fischer's *Germany's Aims in the First World War* (1965?), one plan by the German General Staff called for German hegemony over the entire Danube valley, clear to the Black Sea. I was forcibly reminded of this when contemplating the changes that have occurred in European borders since 1990, plus the implications of the election of the arch-nationalist Jörg Haider as minister president (prime minister) of the Austrian state of Carinthia and the tacit alliance of Croatia and Slovenia with Germany. Think of this: a new German-Austrian Anschluss; Hungary, Serbia, and Romania become German vassals or protectorates... The result? German hegemony over the entire Danube valley.

I ran as and independent. The Federal Election Commission pursued complaints against my committee for almost four years. I was accused of coordinating with a grassroots political committee. Coordination would include talking to members of organizations that intend to write and publish articles that would include biographical information and positions that a candidate takes on any issue! Freedom of speach and freedom of association are understood to exist for all U.S. Citizens including those who do not vote. FEC regulations assume that a candidate is somehow not entitled to freedom of speach or freedom of association unless they are talking to reporters and editors employed by the commercial press! The commercial press is free to endorse any candidate and that endorsement is not considered to have a financial value to a candidates committee! When a candidate is accused of coordinating with a grassroots political organization they are actually accused of failing to specify a value for any flyers or handbills distributed by a grassroots organization or exceeding a limit that the FEC places on the value of those flyers and handbills. It is sufficent to say that my 26,000 dollar campaign was typical of those underfunded campaigns that reformers pretend to be concerned about. But if our existing election laws or the proposed reforms were actually written to protect the voting public those election laws could not or would not be used to harrass candidates who achieve 12% of the vote with 26,000 dollars against mainstream candidates with nearly a million each? I won my case / dismissal with the FEC prosay. FEC attorneys acknowledged that they did not want to go to court with me "they acknowledged I would win." My brief framed Constitutional questions about the regulations I was accused of violating and they acknowledeged those regulations could not meet a Constitutional test. Our1st amendment did not guarrantee foreign citizens and foreign chartered or domestic corporations superior rights to influence U.S. laws and elections! When the United States Constitution was adopted on March 4, 1789 it's 1st amendment guarrantees applied only to the Church and the people. Freedom of the press literally meant that every citizen was guarranteed the right to own, operate, or hire the use of a printing press. A printing press was the most advanced means of communication in that era. Corporations "much to the chagrin of corporate attorneys" did not enjoy Constitutional protections during the first ninety-seven years of our Republic. In 1886 the Supreme Court decreed without hearing arguments that "corporations would have the same rights as a person." see pgs. 347-359 Who Will Tell The People by Willam Greider paperback Unconstitutional election laws must be repealed, our 1st amendment guarranteed freedom of the press to the Citizens of the United States it did not grant foreign citizens "who are not eligible to vote in the U.S." or foreign and domestic corporations which are not living beings superior 1st amendment rights to influence this nations laws or it's elections. According to 3rd district Congresswoman Anne Northup R. Kentucky two of the seven largest newspaper chains operating in the United States today are foreign owned. Existing state and federal election laws presume that foreign citizens and foreign corporations that now operate more than 170 newspapers in the United States are entitled to be exempt from election laws that restrict the political activities of grass roots organizations operated by U.S. Citizens who imagine this:... "are eligible to vote in U.S. elections." The U.S.Supreme Courts famous decision in the Marbury V.S. Madison case established that our United States Constitution cannot be amended by and ordinary law. The Newspaper Exemption Act FECA Sec. 431 (2) (9) (B) (i) is and ordinary law. Call your Congressman and your U.S. Senators, Remind them that the 1st Amendment guarranteed freedom of the press to every U.S. Citizen. Make it clear you will not be a 2nd class citizen. Insist that Congress repeal the Newspaper Exemption Act !!! To the best of my knowledge not one newspaper, broadcaster or political organization brought these facts to the public despite their emphasis on campaign reform and foreign influence!

[CTRL] [10] Treason in America -- From Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman
-Caveat Lector- Treason in America -- From Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman ANTON CHAITKIN (C)1984 New Benjamin Franklin House P. O. Box 20551 New York, New York 10023 ISBN 0-933488-32-7 - -10- Franklin's Freemasons Versus Boston's Scottish Rite In 1766, ten years before the U.S. Declaration of Independence Dr. Benjamin Franklin traveled to the continent of Europe, to begin assembling a vast, transatlantic conspiracy, intended to provide the strategic correlation of forces indispensable to American victory over its oppressor and adversary, Lord Shelburne's Britain. This vast conspiracy brought together, under Franklin's leadership, the surviving networks earlier associated with John Milton of England, Richelieu, Mazarin, and Colbert of France, and of Gottfried Leibniz. The network of Franklin's conspiracy extended, outside the future United States itself, from Leibniz's Petrograd Academy in Russia, through the court of Spain's King Charles III, into the republican circles of the Spanish colonies in America. The central feature of the conspiratorial form of Franklin's transatlantic network was Franklin's position as international leader, and Grand Master of one of the two contending forms of freemasonry in France, ally of Franklin's own Free and Accepted Masons in the U.S.A. The British-allied opposition to Franklin on the continent of Europe was centered in a circle of Jesuit, Swiss-banking, and British SIS forces and assets, assembled in the Nine Sisters' Scottish Rite freemasonic lodge in Paris, under that Lodge's Grand Master for France, and Franklin's chief adversary in France, the Duke of Orleans. The leading edge of British subversion within the North American colonies and, Later, the United States, was the build-up of a network of Scottish Rite lodges in direct opposition to Franklin's own freemasonic conspiracy. An outstanding feature of this spread of the Scottish Rite conspiracy against the United States was the rote of the medical school at Edinburgh, Scotland (and other medical centers controlled by the Scottish Rite in Europe). The pace at which the families of the Essex Junto could realize their treasonous objectives was limited, perforce, to the rate at which they could embed their conspiratorial network into controlling positions of public and private institutions around the nation as a whole. Exemplary was the degree of control they achieved over the chairmanships of the state medical associations by the 1840s, and the circumstantially conclusive evidence of a physician's role in assuring the death of President William Henry Harrison. It was this Scottish Rite freemasonic conspiracy, centered around close collaboration between Newburyport and Charleston, South Carolina, through which the traitorous, slave-trading, and opium-trading freemasonic families of Essex County deliberately organized the Confederacy, and the same secession of which George Cabot wrote on January 29, 1804, and Timothy Pickering on July 4, 1813. It is therefore the transatlantic "freemasonic war" erupting during the eighteenth century, and continued in the United States into the 1980s, which is the main thread of conspiracy which must be uncovered and traced to discover how the Essex Junto of Jefferson's and Madison's presidencies nearly succeeded in destroying the nation, until the Battle of Gettysburg settled the matter in 1863. It is to that connection that we turn our attention in these chapters of our report. However, we would be guilty of fallacy of composition of the evidence, if we restricted ourselves merely to the British elements of this treason. Just as we have shown, in the case of Aaron Burr's treasonous activities, that the war against the United States during 1776-1783 was prosecuted as much by the Swiss families centered around Mallet, de Neuflize, Schlumberger, and Necker, as by the British themselves, so the same nominally Protestant, French-speaking financier families of Switzerland were integral to the outrages against our republic leading into the Civil War. The Swiss and Jesuits Since the evidence we report focuses almost exclusively on the British connection to the treason, we preface those features of our report with a summary description of the characteristic features of the Swiss and Jesuit participation in these events. The afflictions which have beset Western European civilization since the accession of Charlemagne, have been chiefly productions of a force determined to destroy the direction of development of Western Christian civilization set into motion by the writings of St. Augustine, and given powerful force with the rise of Charlemagne. The adversary, at the beginning, was based in Byzantium, in the powerful banking and mercantile families of the Levant, called "Phanariots" because of the wealthy district of Constantinople, together with a powerful, Gnostic faction of pseudo-Christians within the Eastern Church, centered around the hesychastic cults of the so-called

[CTRL] Shoot Straight in School!
-Caveat Lector- NRA To Make Stand Against Accidental Shootings Push to require accuracy with Shoot Straight in School program In the past few months, we have all witnessed tragedies in our communities. Children between the ages of 10 and 18 have fired handguns and rifles in public schools upon their classmates and teachers, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries. Stepping forward to do something to stem the tide of blood is the National Rifle Association. "We have seen a horrific amount of bloodshed in our schools, of late," says NRA spokesman W. Claude Parker. "In my very own town a boy, thirteen years of age, was angry at his girlfriend for taking up with another boy. In fact that young lad was mad enough to kill. So he went home and he took up his papa's 12 gauge from the living room, and his mama's .38 from her purse, and the spare .45 from the glove compartment, and one of the assault rifles from the rec room, plus his own hunting rifle, and headed back to school with fire in his eye." "Now we've all had the red in our vision when it comes to women," continues Parker, "so we can see where the poor boy is coming from. Plus, he's at that awkward age where just every other day you feel like you got some killin' to do, right? Well anyway, this boy saunters into the cafeteria, sees his gal with this other boy, and just starts firing away. He must have shot about 30 kids and 3 or 4 teachers and staffmembers. Thankfully, only 2 of those kids died." "But you see, when the smoke cleared and the names were put to the wounded, it turned out that neither that girl nor her new beau had been among the injured persons. In his rage, that boy had fired numerous weapons for over 6 minutes and failed to hit who he was aiming for. This is a thirteen year old boy! All those other kids didn't do nothing wrong to that boy, but they went down to the County Hospital or the Morgue, whatever the case were." It's this kind of senseless violence that the NRA hopes to prevent with their new Shoot Straight in School program. Starting in the third grade, male students will be trained in basic riflery and targeting. The requirements will become more difficult as students progress through the system. The NRA will award scholarships to the most skilled marksmen as they graduate. "The state of our schoolchildren's skills is a damn disgrace," says Principal Wallace P. Gomer of Birch High School in Beaver County. "I've got kids in high school who don't know how to load an AK-47, much less fire one. One of those boys gets it in his head he needs to shoot someone here in school, well we're going to have another bloodbath." Birch High School is one of the first to implement Shoot Straight in School. In addition to target training, children will be taught emotional restraint. "A lot of these kids just want to pull out their handgun and start firing at the first sign of trouble," says Parker. "One of the slogans we teach kids is Two Days, No Craze. We teach kids that when they are angry to not bring a gun to school for at least two days. In many cases, this will calm the child enough that they will not start shooting randomly into crowds. In some cases, they may even decide against shooting someone in the first place." But sometimes even the best intentions can fall short. During the creation of this article, there was another shooting at Birch High School, in which an eleven year old boy, angry at getting a failing grade, fired his father's grenade launcher repeatedly into the teachers' lounge. Principal Gomer was one of the fourteen fatalities. Still, without the efforts of the NRA, how many more of our children, our Nation's greatest asset, would be dead? - Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: a benefit/subsidy protection racket!

[CTRL] Violence in Ohio schools
-Caveat Lector- Responding to violence in Ohio schools by Ingrid Hubbard, editor "All the policies in the world won't help if we don't have the necessary training to deal with violence," said Greta Gardner, deputy director of policy services at OSBA. The recent tragedies across the nation remind Ohioans of the importance of school safety issues. Teachers are not only concerned with the violence, but also with the breakdown of discipline which can have a tremendous impact on teaching and learning. The National Education Goals has stated that by the year 2000, "all schools in America will be free of drugs and violence and the unauthorized presence of firearms and alcohol, and offer a disciplined environment that is conductive to learning." Each school develops its own code of conduct which includes a zero tolerance policy. This code appears in the student's handbook and is posted in a central location in each school. Parents have access to the code through the student's handbook. Another way schools deal with violence is through student disciplinary policies which deal with expulsion, suspension, hazing, gangs and dangerous weapons in the schools, among other items. "It's wonderful to have all these policies in place, but if people aren't trained to identify problems which may turn violent or how to effectively deal with an issue, or if someone doesn't come in to train people on what to do in certain circumstances, the violence will continue," said Gardner. Some policymakers believe that individualized discipline and strict penalties are the answer, while others believe that improving the school environment through prevention programming is best. Gardner thinks the teachers and guidance counselors need to be able to identify students that are having a problem with anger and get them to the appropriate people. "Unfortunately, we don't have enough guidance counselors in the schools to identify problems in children to intervene with prevention programs," said Gardner. "But, they also need to teach kids how to deal with anger." Gardner also believes that more parents need to get involved. More and more children are being taken out of the school system and put into home schooling because of the violence in schools. "Policies won't protect you. We need assistance in providing training for school administrators and teachers, and to incorporate a program to tell a teacher that someone is threatening to bring a gun to school. People just have to be more aware," said Gardner. The National Association of State Boards of Education suggests that: Each board should develop a plan for dealing with violence among young people and its effect on teaching and learning. Then develop policies and programs that effectively respond to the problem. The board must protect the right of students and staff to feel safe and secure in a classroom as well as the right of children and youth to receive a public education. To do so, the board must assure that a continuum of sanctions is available for children or youth who have been disruptive or delinquent. Expulsion without alternatives is not a solution to youth violence. At a minimum, alternative programs with strong academic and counseling components should be provided. Board plans should incorporate long-term strategies to prevent violence that include a focus on school climate and culture; cross-disciplinary instruction about violence, conflict resolution and ethics; and intervention programs such as peer mediation, mentoring and counseling services. Only by balancing prevention and intervention measures can educators truly reduce the amount of violence and make a positive impact on the learning environment. "What we could be saying might not be right for every building, and administrators and boards must realize that," Gardner said. "We have all this information out there, and most districts have the majority of those policies, but the problem is that you can never be prepared for what's going to happen."

[CTRL] Oxford Hills (Maine) Comprehensive High School
-Caveat Lector- `No student ever has the right to threaten another student,' says Blood. `We investigate every piece of information about a threat.' * Sorting fact from fiction: OHCHS deals with hit list' rumors C. A. Cousins OXFORD HILLS The power of the rumor at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School is just starting to be realized. In the midst of a barrage of rumors that are flying around the high school like Maine black flies in July, administrators, staff and students are trying to find the line between truth and rumors. The air in the high school drips with tension as every passing period brings a new version of a rumor among the students. They range from news of trivial happenings to events as serious as death threats and school-wide `rumbles.' These are not the typical `Who's dating who' rumors that one might expect out of a high school. In the wake of the smattering of violent outbursts at public schools and institutions across the country, Principal Phil Blood and other school administrators are taking every rumor they hear very seriously, but have thus far found no reason to associate them with truth. `If I thought the students were in danger, I'd cancel school,' says Blood decisively. `I don't feel that there's any substance behind the rumors.' `The rumor mill has been working overtime,' says Superintendent Mark Eastman. The incidents started two weeks ago when a student had an argument with another student and threatened to bring a gun into school. After an investigation, the student was issued a no trespassing on school property notice and is currently incarcerated at the Maine Youth Center. The student, according to Blood, will not be allowed back on school grounds. This is a rare instance of truth amid the rumors, Blood says. Last week, a student in a technical program found a gun in a car he was working on in one of the shops. The student notified the teacher and the gun was secured. No students from OHCHS were involved or charged in the incident. According to Blood, the rumor mill at the school created a false link between this incident and the aforementioned threat. The two events were completely separate and had nothing to do with each other, says Blood. According to Eastman, the teacher had recently returned from a camping trip and had left the gun in the car as a result of an oversight. Last week, rumors spread about a group of students who were being harassed to the point that they were talking about seeking revenge on another group of students. The administration met at great length with all the students involved to investigate the validity of the rumors. The students were suspended until the investigation was completed in order to insure everyone's safety, including the safety of those being investigated, according to a letter sent home with students to parents last Thursday. `No student ever has the right to threaten another student,' says Blood. `We investigate every piece of information about a threat.' As far as the administration can tell, this is where the line between fact and fiction lies. On several instances over the past week, rumors have run rampant. For example, many students thought that there would be some sort of battle at the end of the school day on Friday. There was none. Another rumor was spread that a group of students would seek revenge on members of the freshman football team at a game. When nothing happened there, more rumors flew that Tuesday was to bring a violent altercation in school. Although Blood took the precaution of asking for a police officer to be on-site Tuesday, again nothing happened. Eastman says that the police were on sight more for the peace of mind of the students than for intervention in a violent altercation. `The police were there more to make people feel secure that we had the situation under control,' says Eastman. In other precautions, access to the school is being strictly limited, says Blood, who added that police officers are in and out of the building on a regular basis, but not because of the rumors. In other efforts to slow the treacherous flow of rumors, administration and staff met on Thursday morning to discuss the incident and to get the facts out in the open. Teachers and students later took some time out of second period to talk about the issue. `We wanted to assure students that we knew about the rumors,' says Blood. `I feel that this school's as safe as it was three weeks ago.' Eastman calls the rumors `far fetched' and says that they are for the most part `complete fabrications.' He attributes the problem partly to the cultural change the United States has seen in the past few years, with violent outbursts happening in schools across the country. `That's in the back of our mind,' says Eastman. `Many of the students are nervous and scared,' says Blood. `But most of them are dealing with it pretty well.' He said that attendance was significantly

If so, he invented the modern research paradigm, a monumental feat in and of itself. People who think that Edison hired a bunch of people and then sat back and got all the credit haven't dealt with inventors. I have known dozens and have invented things myself. Most inventors have dozens of projects which they need help in creating. They come up with the basic idea, but realize that there are technical problems which need to be solved. In Edison's case, there were many experiments that needed to be done. Doing those experiments is not inventing, deciding what experiments need to be done is the crucial part of inventing. Edison is known to have done that. Certainly if you go to the story of how he invented the phonograph you would understand better that he was the sole inventor. Yes, he did bring a sketch to Bachelor and asked him to make it. And Baetchlor probably made some refinements based upon what Edison was trying to do. But it was purely Edison'ss idea and even he was surprised when it worked the first time. No doubt, that there were some claims on his patents that should have been attributed to others. However, I don't think that Edison was humble enough to work on others inventions. And that is what you and others are suggesting. Inventors don't work for money or publicity as most of you seem to think. They are useful, but inventors see problems and want to find solutions to them. Edison was an inventor. You can read his history and see that there were many inventions that he developed long before he hired helpers. He saw problems and he tried to solve them. Many of those solutions are still benefittingg us today. Howard Davis DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] [5] Crime, Big Business Watergate
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Breaking of a President 1974 - The Nixon Connection Marvin Miller, Compiler Therapy Productions, Inc.©1975 LCCCN 7481547 --[5]-- PROHIBITION: CRIME BECOMES VERY BIG BUSINESS During the Prohibition period in the United States from 1920 to 1933, the gangs of America grew extraordinarily rich in their own name. This wealth eventually permitted them to become the master of the corrupt politician instead of the slave. While it is still running ahead of our chronology to speak now of the Prohibition era bootleggers who later became major contributors to the political campaigns of Richard Nixon, the change in the relation of the American criminal to politician can be seen in Chicago gang leader Al Capone making a contribution in 1926 of $260,000 to the Chicago mayoralty campaign of Big Bill Thompson. Capone could well afford this amount because profits from the Chicago rackets then were estimated at $6,000,000 per week. Nationally, Prohibition was said to have resulted in a $10,000,000 daily illegal profit. But just six years prior to his large bribe to the future mayor of Chicago, Capone had the reputation of almost always being broke and having to ask for advances from his then crime bosses, Big Jim Colisimo and John Torrio. Colisimo and Torrio were not exactly poor men before Prohibition. Controlling only a small portion of Chicago's prostitution and white slave rackets, Torrio was making at least $100,000 a year. His much wealthier boss and uncle, Big Jim, who had advanced himself through the corrupt Chicago equivalent of Tammany Hall, sported diamonds on his tie-pin, suspenders, watch-fob and garters. His famous restaurant, frequented by such notables as Enrico Caruso, Flo Ziegfeld and George Cohan, was backed up by a string of saloons and brothels. This empire started when Colisimo married Victoria Morosco, the madame of four old frame brothels on Chicago's "Bedbug Row." Two or the brothels charged $1 while the other two charged $2 per customer, the same girls often being rotated by Colisimo from house to house regardless of price. While this seems to be small business, a Chicago police investigation a full decade before Prohibition reported the existence of 1020 brothels in Chicago employing 4000 prostitutes, while many more walked the streets. The gross income of the prostitutes was estimated at $30,000,000 annually, of which half went to pay off the police and politicians. And besides prostitution, there was widespread gambling, a developing wire service for the bookmakers taking bets on the horse races, and other sources of income available for those functioning outside the law, including labor racketeering. A PROFIT OF $246,000 However, Prohibition was to prove far more profitable than prostitution and white slavery, which were on their way out anyway by 1920 because of increased law enforcement. A few simple figures will illustrate the enormous financial changes brought about by Prohibition. One railroad box of raw alcohol containing 120 fifty gallon drums would cost a bootlegger $3270 at prevailing rates. There would also be the cost of bribes to make the transaction appear as if the alcohol were going to be legally used for hair tonic or some such product. (We are assuming here that the box-car was not hijacked). When the bootlegger would dilute this alcohol three or more times and flavor it for the palate of the consumer, the sale value of the original 120 drums might now be as much as $250,000. Obviously, the bootlegger could afford to lay out a considerable amount of money for bribes and transportation of the contraband without substantially cutting into his profit of $246,000 on a small investment. Prohibition went into effect on midnight, January 16, 1920. Someone noted that the first illegal drink was sold one minute later. Whether or not this comment was accurate, it is known that in Chicago within an hour after the law became effective, six masked gunmen broke into two railroad freight cars and stole $100,000 worth of whisky marked "For Medicinal Use Only." That same night in Chicago, another group stole four barrels of whisky from a bonded warehouse, while a third gang hijacked a truck carrying whisky. LANSKY THE MECHANIC And where was Meyer Lansky? In 1921 Lansky was a young auto mechanic changing the appearance of stolen cars so they could be used by bootleggers, jazzing them up to run faster than police cars, and building into them the additional storage space needed by the bootleggers. Typically adapting himself to the new conditions, Lansky was soon to hire mechanics to do the physical work, as well as hoodlums to steal the cars. After this expansion, he was to link up with his friend Bugsy Siegel to form the famous Bugs and Meyer Mob to use his cars and hired guns to safely transport and guard the booze. As Hank Messick astutely points out in his biography of Meyer Lansky, the automobile helped to revolutionize crime, and it was

[CTRL] [6] Crime, Big Business Watergate
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Breaking of a President 1974 - The Nixon Connection Marvin Miller, Compiler Therapy Productions, Inc.©1975 LCCCN 7481547 --[6]-- THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODERN MOB Elmer Irey, former Chief of the Enforcement Branch of the United States Treasury, once commented: "I think the Treasury Department's Intelligence Unit has the greatest crime fighting record in America. We smashed the Capone gangs, the New York gangs; the untouchable thieves of the Huey Long and Boss Pendergast gangs; ... in two decades we recovered over a billion dollars from crooked tax evaders but when it came to keeping America dry, we were just overmatched." Actually this is a somewhat self-serving and inaccurate statement in relation to the gangs during Prohibition. Although many individual crime leaders were imprisoned as a result of income tax evasion prosecutions, this did not stop their crime organizations from continuing to function. During Prohibition, criminals involved in producing, transporting and guarding large quantities of alcoholic beverages developed very business-like, disciplined organizations. As these crime corporations began to invest their huge profits in legitimate businesses, it became less and less possible to stop their activities by jailing the leader. The Capone gang, for example, did not disband after Al Capone was jailed; it simply carried on under the leadership of the Fischetti brothers, the Guzik clan and Tony Accardo. It is suspected that this group, for example, over the years has continued the management through anonymous intermediaries and corporations of large portions of Florida real estate purchased when Capone was still active. When Nixon became involved in purchasing Florida real estate through Lansky associates, suspicions were voiced by some investigators, that Capone-owned land was involved. Law enforcement officials, however, still keep up the pretense that criminals basically are unstable psychological types who don't cooperate well, and when a leader is jailed, the gang disappears. This may have been true in the past but not today. A corporation usually does not disappear if an individual executive is jailed. And even if the corporation is liquidated, its real assets or activities rarely vanish into thin air but are transferred to some other operating entity. The assets often remain secretly under the original ownership through intricate deals arranged by creditors and financial institutions. The modern gang, managing considerable financial investments through its own lawyers, accountants and banks, and maintaining interlocking business connections with other criminal organizations, has to be viewed as a corporate entity. It is a legal individual in its own right, instead of a haphazard collection of individuals. Law enforcement, which is based on proving individual responsibility for crime, is therefore as helpless in destroying a modern gang as it is in liquidating a corporation. It is not simply a question of size. There have been large gangs. Monk Eastman, who got the vote out for Tammany, had a gang of 1200 toughs, complete with a junior division. But when Eastman was jailed the gang ended, although even that far back at the turn of the century come of Eastman's hoodlums went over to Paul Kelly's gang, which performed the same function for Tammany. In 1913 the circulation war between the Cleveland News and the Cleveland Plain Dealer resulted in the creation of armies of young hoodlums who fought for control of choice street-corners. Although the circulation managers of the competing newspapers turned out to be leading figures of organized crime in 1951, thirty-eight years later, when they were called as witnesses before Senator Kefauver's Crime Committee, these 1913 gangs, organized as they were to do the bidding of such political bosses as Mark Hanna, were not permanent formations operating with their own financial base and well-defined corporate chain of command. But such men as Alfred "Big Al" Polizzi, Fred Angersola, Morris "Mushy" Wexler, who started out as street hoodlums working for Cleveland News circulator Arthur B. "Mickey" McBride, became prominent members of Prohibition gangs. Still later Polizzi was to do work for Nixon's closest friend, Bebe Rebozo; Fred Angersola with his brothers John and George were later to own motels in Miami Beach, where Nixon and his associates were to mingle -with Syndicate figures; while Wexler and McBride were to be involved with the horse-race wire services which also figure prominently in our later investigation of Nixon. When questioned by the Kefauver Committee in 1951 'about his pre-World War I associations which extended almost forty years back into the activities of organized crime, McBride philosophically observed: "Life is just a game of chance." In Chicago, Big Jim Colisimo also had a gang of street toughs before 1920 to protect his illegal enterprises and to recruit female bodies for

The troops from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit will be taking part in a "TRUEX" -- training in an urban environment exercise -- June 2-15, according to Capt. Mark A.S. Oswell. Because the training will be blanketed with a certain amount of security at the same time helicopters are sweeping around downtown buildings, the Marines want to make sure the public isn't alarmed at the sight of sea-soldiers operating in Richmond. "The first thing people will notice is helicopter activity around the city, and helicopter activity they're not used to," said Capt. Jim Rich. "We want people to know this is part of a routine training evolution." The service will not make public the training's locations and times. To help introduce itself to Richmond, Oswell said, the 22nd will participate June 4 in the opening festivities for the Riverfront Project along the James River. -- Peter Bacqué Richmond Times-Dispatch DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] New Fingerprint Device To Read Beneath Skin
-Caveat Lector- ® Top Story New Fingerprint Device To Read Beneath Skin 19 Apr 1999, 3:48 PM CST By Craig Menefee, Newsbytes. MELBOURNE, FLORIDA, U.S.A., Biometrics firm AuthenTec, Inc., has announced a fingerprint identification technology called E-Field that reads beneath the surface layer of the skin. As a result, calluses and other "human surface defects" don't fool the reader, the firm says. Biometric devices work by measuring some aspect of a person's body, such as fingerprints or voiceprints, and using the result to certify a person's identify. Newsbytes notes that no actual E-Field product is shipping yet, but Scott Moody, president of AuthenTec, told Newsbytes, "It's on the cusp of being a product. We'll be launching this summer." AuthenTec says it plans to demonstrate the technology at the 1999 CardTech/SecurTech trade show, scheduled May 11-14 in Chicago. Moody told Newsbytes the demos will include image acquisition success rates, success at getting clear not fuzzy images, and the technology's use in actual applications -- as a PC access device or in home security systems, for example. According to AuthenTec, a person's "real" fingerprints actually begin below the skin's outer, surface layer, which tends to become dry, callused, worn and dirty under real-world conditions. As a result, a surface-only reading will produce false results or fail to acquire any print at all much of the time. "People talk about one-in-100 or one-in-a-billion success rates, but they never talk about the prints they failed to acquire in the first place," said Moody. "If a technology doesn't work for everybody, those numbers they throw out will not be true. That's why our focus has been on the ability to acquire." AuthenTec's E-Field technology uses an antenna sensor array to read beneath the surface of the finger to the boundary between the live epidermal layer, where fingerprint ridge patterns originate, and the outer, dead layer that protects the body from harm. At the boundary is a layer of dying cells, one cell deep, that follows the ridges and valleys beneath it. That boundary has a different signal resistance that AuthenTec's technology reads by creating a field between the finger and the semiconductor sensors. The field mimics the shape of the ridges and valleys of the finger's epidermal layer. The sensors feeds their signals to an "under-pixel amplifier," which Moody described to Newsbytes as "very much a summary term." In essence, an array of the tiny sensors each sends a pixel-like signal to the underlying amplifier, which digitizes it into a readable image of the fingerprint. AuthenTec claims the resulting image accurately corresponds to the pattern of the fingerprint, giving what the firm calls "a true, unaffected image that neither optical nor DC capacitive technologies can produce." Dale Setlak, vice president and chief technical officer, says, "With fingerprint identification, it's all about acquisition. If a technology can't read a fingerprint image, the myriad applications that have been dreamed up for biometrics are meaningless." Moody told Newsbytes the E-Field technology has been undergoing tests at 100 customer sites for several months and AuthenTec now has on-site the first single-chip working version. According to Moody, the technology has now had 18 patents granted, with 16 more pending and six being prepared for filing. In all, more the patents, if all are granted, will cover more than 2400 original ideas, Moody told Newsbytes. "Actually, the number is changing every day," he added.

I have a girlfriend who was raising kids the same time I was who told me during a discussion of cruel teasing by school kids that when she was in school, one of the kids in her highschool class was a dwarf (Hermorkio's (Sp?) Disease type). You may recall seeing Michael Dunn on television's WILD WILD WEST. Anyway the other kids thought it great fun to tease this kid. They used to do fun things like hang him on a tree limb by his belt or throw his books up on a low roof where he couldn't get them down--little attentions like that. Then when the bell rang they would troop into school and leave him. It was all very funny. Then one day the kid had enough of it, and when the school's star quarterback started to reach for him, he picked up a section of two-by-four that happened to be there because of some minor school construction, and slammed it into our star quarterback's legs. The result was a broken leg. Now I don't recall what happened as a result, but we all know that there's a point where teasing isn't funny any more. Had the kid's parents complained to the school about the treatment of their son? Probably, but that usually doesn't get much response. This kid didn't have a gun. This happened before everyone seemed to have a lot of those around the house. There's never an excuse for murder, but it might be a good idea if kids were taught how to treat each other so that everyone was enjoying the experience.

Re: [CTRL] Trenchcoat
-Caveat Lector- Responsibility by definition means answerable or accountable for. And what is a person responsible for? Everything he thinks, says or does. Why? Because no matter what or whom one can blame for the circumstances of his life, he is still stuck with the consequences of everything he thinks, says or does. People can be terribly unreliable but never irresponsible. Thus there is no way a person can be irresponsible because everyone is answerable or accountable for everything he thinks, say or does, does not do or neglects to do. Until people fully realize that they are totally responsible for their lives, we as a society collectively will be operating under a false and distorted assumption of what responsibility means. -- Sidney Madwed MJ: You certainly missed it ... individual responsibility coupled with piss-poor parenting.

Re: [CTRL] Trenchcoat
-Caveat Lector- In school today, I saw my peers laughing about the massacre which happened in Columbine yesterday. Some were giggling and joking around, pointing at people who were wearing black, saying that they were members of the Trenchcoat Mafia. The people who were wearing black said nothing in reply to them, but I, one of them, was wearing black because of the deaths yesterday. Society has raised a youth insensitive to horror, insensitive to each other, and far too familiar with ways of destruction. All my peers at school today-- the most they could say was, "gee, isn't that bad".. the next moment they were laughing and joking. I don't feel that they should have been outraged and sadden and stricken all day, but at least show a *little* compassion. My belief is that this generation now, mine, is too callous and most likely cannot be changed to be aware of the actuality of horror.. The latest trend is it not, to murder school kidsHalloween, was i designed to terrify little children and turn murderers and butchers against them? What are you talking about? And what about abortion; if a woman wants an abortion, do it quietly between the doctor and patientnow our children observe their mothers murdering their babies. Arent we nice and setting nice examples...let alone Doctor Kovorkian, or whatever his name is. He is where he belongs; they should put him on death role to assist those condemned to die, in a more humane manner Jesus woman, Doctor Kevorkian was doing a good thing-- providing a clean humane way for people whose quality of life and health has gone down the drain to die peacefully and with dignity! The 'nice example'? Children, I believe, are not going to be influenced by Doc Kevorkian.. The prison system, for them to allow Doctor Kevorkian not to eat.. aren't they letting him commit suicide? illegal? huh? HUH?? *spaz* The movie industry is controlled by our government; the five major publishing houses were bought by the Mafia some time back, and in 1974 World So the government wants children to blow people up? Now here is Clinton playing another humanitarian role, while he and his butchers of Waco and the Balkans send in armed troop virtually ready to blast away at the school. Can you imagine what might have happened here, if the killers were alone in the building...and had not killed themselves. Let's pity the killers, those who chose, I'm almost certain beyond a doubt, to kill on their own.. No one was shot by the police (as far as I know), and if the killers were alone in the building.. I would expect what they did to come right back and get them The one thing that I detested this afternoon, was a young man, who said "oh nobody liked them, they were scum"now I wonder why these kids would do as they did.who got their hooks into them, who set them offand why today?These kids were obviously on drugs, and this Mafia stuffwell how about a few moremovies with DiNiro playing the Godfather; he is in trouble now in Italy for criminal connections. Of course people in high school are going to be picked on, cliques are GOING to be formed, always have, always will be.. the way people deal with the taunting, with the exclusion, that is what we should concern ourselves with, not breaking cliques.. Yes, the children should be taught to treat each other well, give them the respect every living creature should get.. "These kids were obviously on drugs"-- sure, they could have been on drugs, prolly PCP, but still, not everyone who commits a heinous act is gonna be a druggie.. Mafia? Most kids in highschool don't know jack about the Mafia. Someone mentions the word, and all they think of is a band of people who have lots of money who kill people. 99% of them wouldn't have the patience to sit through the Godfather! A lot of evil is coming out of Colorado; from Ted Bundy, the guy that shot Reagan, these kids, the little Jon Benet Ramsey.the horrible movie that got the Oscar, about the butchers which was said to be a comedy that got an academy award. 'Let's go to Colorado and destroy the evil! Colorado is terrible, let's put the blame there..' * I don't know. This just sickens me, that the student-shooters would have that great, apparently uncontrollable, urge to go and kill.. It's true that the blame shouldn't be put on music, or movies, or parents, or just slapped on society, or the government.. Or the schools? (I heard the old purpose of schools was to make productive, law-abiding citizens).. I've been raised in a violent household. I've made it my choice to turn from those practices which I have seen over the past 16 years. My brother, on the other hand, while he won't come out and denounce the violence, I know that he is very inclined to go out and use abusive language and be physically violent. But I'm just a high school student, I still don't really know anything, and I should keep my nose in my academics.. -Suzy DECLARATION

It provided for the independence of Kosovo in all but name and the military occupation by NATO of all of Yugoslavia -- not just Kosovo. This was plainly a proposal that no government could accept... NATO's bombing of the petrochemical plant at Baric only a few miles from Belgrade risked the life, health and safety of the civilian population of 2 million in the city of Belgrade. The attack released clouds of poison gas over Belgrade, and violated international humanitarian law. Fortunately, the winds kept the poison cloud above the city. Ironically, Clinton had just warned the Serbs against using chemical weapons." TARA THORNTON, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.miltoxproj.org Thornton is the Military Toxics Project's international coordinator for the Ban Depleted Uranium Campaign. While the military still has not confirmed or denied that they are using depleted uranium, Thornton said: "As Earth Day 1999 [April 22] approaches, we in the U.S. are at war with two countries. We have used depleted uranium (DU) weaponry in Iraq which is both a toxic and radioactive weapon. DU dust created by firing these weapons has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. Many believe DU may be one of the causes of Gulf War Syndrome in our veterans and of the increased rates of cancers and childhood leukemia reported in southern Iraq. Depleted uranium can also contaminate the air, water, agriculture and livestock." RANIA MASRI, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.iraqaction.org Coordinator of the Iraq Action Coalition, an environmental scientist and a national board member of Peace Action, Masri said: "The bombing of Yugoslavia is reminiscent of the bombing of Iraq. That has proven to be devastating for both the Iraqi people and the environment. In 1991, the U.S. military used 300 tons of DU in Iraq. They bombed chemical and biological facilities, oil refineries, waste water treatment facilities, factories and agricultural fields. As a result of all this, compounded by almost nine years of sanctions, unidentified plant diseases have surfaced, over 15 million trees have died, cancer rates have increased three fold and the food chain has been contaminated.

The Czech government, which : : has opened its airspace, was reported Tuesday to have approved letting : allied forces cross the country by road and rail, presumably from Germany to : Hungary. : : Hungary, the only NATO country that shares a frontier with Serbia, could be : used as a launching point for a ground drive into Serbia. More likely, : officials said, NATO forces in Hungary would tie down Yugoslav troops and : deter any cross-border incursions. : : As the allies sought to tighten the noose on Yugoslavia militarily and : economically, NATO reported that Serbian forces were pursuing ''ethnic : cleansing'' against the remaining civilian population of ethnic Albanians in : Kosovo and, for the first time, expanding the expulsion campaign to : Montenegro, Serbia's partner in the Yugoslav federation. : : Serbian forces also were reported to have crossed via Montenegro into the : peninsula of Prevlaka, a finger of Croatia that has been a demilitarized : zone under United Nations control since the end of the fighting in Bosnia : three years ago. : : Croatia's official news agency reported the incursion, which increased the : Serbian military pressure on Montenegro, which has Yugoslavia's only : seaport.

[CTRL] Fw: Balkans in the Balance
-Caveat Lector- Let's see ... somewhere a while ago there was some discussion about the two brothers in a fight who stopped their personal conflict and turned jointly on the (dis)interested party who tried to intervene. And, of course, as might be seen in the National (Colorado) news, there is a continuity to the solution to all really difficult problems: if it {I} doesn't {don't} fit, use force. Is Colorado a Karmic consequence, an indicator of the culture as a whole? How well do 'our' children/youth/emerging adults learn that the natural result of frustration with others' intransigence is violence; how well does leadership/media convey the message, "They wouldn't listen {we didn't get our way}, so we struck." ? At what point does the influence of the far-away fantastic -- a conflict 'over there' -- become an at-home reality? Points to ponder at any rate. AER : From wsws.org : : WSWS : News Analysis : Europe : The Balkan Crisis : : One month of the Balkan War: a balance sheet : By the Editorial Board : 21 April 1999 : : One month ago President Clinton went on nationwide television to tell a : stunned population why the United States and its NATO allies had launched an : air war against Yugoslavia. Without even the pretense of a public debate, : and no prior authorization from Congress, the Clinton administration had : initiated the first-ever NATO war against a sovereign country, and the : biggest military action in Europe since the Second World War. : : Not since the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964--now generally acknowledged to : have been a US provocation--have the American people been so rapidly drawn : into a major war against a nation that posed no direct threat to their lives : or well-being. Indeed, in his television address that Wednesday evening, : March 24, Clinton felt obliged to point out on a map of Europe the location : of Yugoslavia and the province of Kosovo. : : A month later, what has become of the rationale given for the war? What has : the US-NATO assault produced for the people of Yugoslavia, including the : ethnic Albanians of Kosovo? How does the present bombardment of the country : compare to the limited war aims initially spelled out by Clinton and other : US and NATO officials? And, with US combat troops on their way to the : Albanian border with Kosovo and American officials demanding a naval : blockade of Yugoslavia, what will be the dimensions of the conflagration a : month from now? : : That Wednesday evening Clinton portrayed the bombing as a humanitarian act : designed to pressure Yugoslav President Milosevic to halt the uprooting of : Kosovar Albanians and accept the so-called peace plan fashioned in : Washington. There was no suggestion that the Serb nationalist Milosevic, : confronted with an ultimatum to accept the domination of Kosovo by the armed : separatists of the Kosovo Liberation Army, under the protection of 28,000 : NATO troops, might respond to the NATO attack by intensifying his offensive : against his KLA enemy, fanning the flames of ethnic hatred and creating a : massive refugee crisis in the process. : : Failing to "act," Clinton declared, would run the risk "that many more : innocent people will die or be driven from their homes by the tens of : thousands; the risks that the conflict will involve and destabilize : neighboring nations." : : Had Clinton set out to predict the consequences of the very action he was : announcing, he could not have done better. Hundreds of thousands of ethnic : Albanians, and an unknown number of Kosovo Serbs, have fled the scene of : civil war and aerial bombardment that Kosovo has become in the space of a : few weeks. Serb depredations on the ground compete with US-NATO atrocities : from the air, while the KLA, with direct support from Washington, seeks to : exploit the carnage to further its own nationalist aims. : : Every country in the Balkans has been destabilized by the NATO war. : Macedonia and Albania have been turned into staging grounds for NATO attacks : on Yugoslavia, while their impoverished economies and backward social : structures have been brought to the breaking point by the influx of : refugees. Albania, now a platform for the KLA and American Apache : helicopters and support troops, is already in a de facto state of war with : Yugoslavia. : : The Adriatic is choked with carrier fleets armed with cruise missiles and : attack planes, and the whole of the Balkan peninsula--including Croatia, : Bosnia, Greece, Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria--is on the verge of being drawn : into the conflict. : : As for the scope of the NATO assault on Yugoslavia, what was initially : portrayed as a limited air attack on Yugoslav air defenses, oil depots and : radar installations has mushroomed into an ever-widening campaign to destroy : the economic infrastructure of an entire country. Within hours of the first : air strikes, US and NATO officials recognized that they had badly : miscalculated, drastically
[CTRL] Crime Policy
-Caveat Lector- From http://crimepolicy.org/ Via www.epn.org CAMPAIGN FOR AN EFFECTIVE CRIME POLICY ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN Launched in 1992 by a group of criminal justice leaders, the non-partisan Campaign for an Effective Crime Policy encourages a less politicized, more informed debate about one of our nation's most difficult problems. The Campaign's petition, "A Call for a Rational Debate on Crime and Punishment," has been endorsed by more than 1100 criminal justice professionals, elected officials and community leaders in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Campaign is guided by a Steering Committee and a National Advisory Committee that include representation by corrections, law enforcement, legislators, judiciary and others. The Campaign is coordinated by The Sentencing Project. The Campaign does not endorse candidates or promote specific legislation, but does work to educate other leaders, the media and the public about the relative effectiveness of various strategies for improving public safety. The Campaign has made recommendations for federal crime policy, and published policy reports on youth violence,mandatory minimum sentencing, boot camp prisons, drug courts, and the relationship between imprisonment and the crime rate. Its staff has just recently released a new report, "Three Strikes: Five Years Later," a summary of which appears on this web site. The Campaign has sponsored three national conferences on "Crime and Politics." Each was attended by crime experts, leaders in state and local government, law enforcement, business, higher education, victim organizations and community groups. The 1998 conference theme was Public Safety and the Quality of Justice. Conference materials and other information can be ordered through our publications list.

Taxpayer costs to incarcerate more than one million inmates have soared in recent years. These factors suggest that it is critical to examine the impact of incarceration on crime. Analysis of the research on incarceration and crime rates does not show a strong correlation between the two. Although it is difficult to measure the effect of incarceration on crime rates, incarceration appears to have no significant effect on violent crime rates and, at best, a marginal effect on property crime rates. Why doesn't increased incarceration lead to lower crime rates? Researchers have cited the following factors: . A wide variety of economic and social factors outside the control of the criminal justice system contribute to crime rates. . Demographics indicate that overall crime rates tend to rise and fall with the number of males in the 15-24 age group. . The criminal justice system deals only with a small fraction of the actual crimes committed: approximately 90% of serious felonies are never reported to the police, or go unsolved. . The system is unable to reliably identify high-risk offenders early in their criminal careers. . The threat of longer prison sentences does not deter violence, since most violent crime is committed impulsively, often under the influence of alcohol or drugs. . For some types of crime, especially drug crimes, new recruits quickly take the place of those arrested. Conclusions Prison plays the essential role of incapacitating dangerous felons, but has not had a significant effect on reducing overall crime. In setting spending priorities, policymakers need to take into account the use of correctional resources and invest in a variety of strategies, effective intermediate sanctions, drug treatment, community policing, and other programs and policies. Overall, crime policy should be better informed by research and program evaluation. THE VIOLENT JUVENILE OFFENDER: POLICY PERSPECTIVES Executive Summary While violent crime rates overall have declined somewhat in recent years, violent crime by juveniles is rising. Public concern and media attention have helped fuel legislative action. Some of the new laws, however, may be more effective in expressing outrage than in solving the problem. A more informed discussion about the problem and various approaches to solving it is needed. Citizens and policymakers will benefit from making intelligent use of research and the expertise of practitioners. The dimensions of the problem include the following: . A small proportion of

[CTRL] COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL MASSACRE: DETAILS ANALYSIS QUESTIONs
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, April 21, 1999 2:05 PM Subject: DENVER MASSACRE DETAILS ANALYSIS QUESTIONs COMMUNIQUE #2118 - COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL MASSACRE: This much we APPEAR to know: The 2 dead suspects HARRIS, and KLEBOLD were said and appear to have been: 1. HOMOSEXUAL/NAZI/SATANIST/ANARCHIST/WHITE SUPREMIST [see: http://home.earthlink.net/~lively/pinkswastika] 2. PLAYED Dungeon Dragons [dark role playing game] 3. Wore SWASTIKA's CONFEDERATE FLAG PATCHES 4. Were members of a larger group [at least 12] 5. Celebrated HITLER's Birthday (April 20th) 6. Targeted Americans of African descent 7. Targeted Atheltes in general 8. Photos of suspects show them to be clean cut 9. Photos show them to be good looking boys See their photos at: http://www.cnn.com/US/9904/21/school.shooting.02/top.suspects.injured.jpg Investigate Kevin Abrams' online book on HOMOSEXUAL NAZIs "The PINK SWASTIKA" [at: http://home.earthlink.net/~lively/pinkswastika] QUESTIONS: 1. Where did suspect #3 go ? 2. WHO "introduced" these two boys to HOMOSEXUALITY ? 3. Did the 2 dead suspects really kill themselves ? 4. Why no mention of the suspects being HOMOSEXUALITY ? 5. Why no mention of HATE CRIME ? 6. Why no mention that this school was an intensive OBE site ? 7. What about the rest of the group of at least 12 ? 8. What adults were involved with this group ? 9. Why did it take over 6 hours for police to enter the BLDG 10. Who planted the huge number of bombs. 11. Why did the SWAT/ATF? personnel let the injured boy climbing out of the broken window land on his head ! [see below] 12. What drugs were involved ? Psychiatry ? 13. Why did members of the group refer to it as the GAY ALAMO ? 14. How was Australian Proft Holmes able to predict this in 11/25/98 Followup questions based on above questions: Q1: All reports, [I have it on tape] showed 3 suspects, and the 3rd suspect described by students as an adult, shooting a gun, was arrested. The Washington Post reports this morning 3 suspects. Where is this 3rd suspect now ? Did he kill the other two suspects ? Q2: Who "INITIATED" the two dead suspects to HOMOSEXUALITY ? Research shows that almost all homosexuals were molested as children themselves and bear tremendous pain/wounds inside. Research also shows that victims of PEDOPHILIA are ideal candidates for MIND CONTROL. Pedophilia victims exhibit a phenomenom known as MPD, MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER, and are very good at compartmentalizing, have extremely high visual acuity, and intelligence, yet can be commandiered also via one or several of their multiple personalities. MPD is not unlike a fractured soul. CIA via TAVISTOK and other BRITISH INTELLIGENCE projects has dabbled heavily in turning people especially MPDs into killing machines. Q7-8: What about the rest of the group of at least 12, several of whom tried to enter the school after the seige began, and others of whom vary in age, what adults were involved, was this group infiltrated or even started by a national satanist/masonic/govco black ops/MOSSAD/ADL/NAMBLA/CIA group for future HEGALISM problem reaction solution scenario fabrication purposes ? When did this group begin ? How did it lure 2 seemingly good looking and bright [their photos reveal this] boys into their group and once lured how were they "INTRODUCED" to HOMOSEXUALITY/PEDOPHILIA, if this is what happened ? Who encouraged them to go from playing DD to being HOMOSEXUAL or reverse order ? or what waws the chronology of events, who was behind the scenes ? Q9: NOTE: HIGHLY SPECULATIVE: Was the third gunman really a government provocatuer ? Early reports said that the suspects were wearing black masks, could it be that this massacre was being done by masked agents who acted as members of the group to pin it on them and then they simply acted like police and left the scene after killing the dead suspects ? Why so long before official response took place? i.e. maybe the group really just intended to do some pranks, and agents who had infiltrated the group used this as an opportunity to stage this massacre for real, as a dark manipulation to desensitize, confuse and sow discord. It is not as if the USA is against killing, as it promotes killing of babies, encourages homosexuality which leads to premature death [average livespan of homosexual men is 38 years !], USA has killed at least 1 million innocents in IRAQ, many innocents in JAPAN, is killing innocents as we speak in YUGOSLAVIA via an unrelenting carpet bombing of civilians. Evil usually knows no bounds. Point is there was no OFFICIAL response in the building for over 6 hours making it possible that something was going on inside that we, and even the official local police may not be aware of, i.e. what federal presense was there, who controlled the scene, because the Sheriff who spoke most often with reporters had very little knowledge and was often

[CTRL] Arabiana: 04-21-99
-Caveat Lector- From ArabicNews.CoM Moscow ready to resume Syrian - Israeli negotiations Regional, Politics, 4/21/99 Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov sent a communique to Arab League Secretary General Esmat Abdul Meguid, in which he informed the latter that there is no choice left for ratifying peace in Middle East, unless the Palestinian independent state is established, confirming Russia's recognition of this state since the Palestinian National Council in Algeria announced it in 1988, adding that there is an embassy for Palestine in Moscow. The Russian ambassador in Cairo, Vladimir Godaeiv, delivered this communique to Abdul Meguid yesterday. Following the meeting, Godaeiv said the communique has included the developments in the situation in the Middle East during the approach of the date of May 4, when the interim stage is to end and the Palestinian state is to be established. The Russian ambassador added that Ivanov confirmed in his communique that delaying declaration of the Palestinian state is a possibility being discussed currently by the Palestinians. He said Russia views it is better that this step can be taken within the framework of Madrid formula, adding that Russia is ready to implement any suggested ideas on the Syrian - Israeli track to resume negotiations, confirming that Russia exerts its utmost efforts to enhance the peace process in the Middle East. Godaeiv also said in press statements yesterday, "We do not support the arbitrary procedures currently taken against Kosovo's inhabitants and we see it as necessary to stop such operations immediately." He emphasized the importance of stopping the "brutal" military operations made by countries of NATO against Yugoslavia, clarifying that the size of human disaster became much wider after March 24, when the Western air shelling started against Yugoslavia. He said, "Continuing the air raids led to the tragedy in which people of Kosovo currently live." Regarding the Serbs' non-acceptance of conditions presented N.A.T.O for stopping these attacks, the ambassador said, "All parties must agree on these conditions -- Yugoslavia and the Western countries -- and all existing issues must be peacefully solved, not by air raids." He added, "The Kosovoans' legitimate rights must be respected, and people of Kosovo must be granted the self-rule in one state which is Yugoslavia, and refugees must return home." Israel build fortifications in Arnoun, aggression continues Lebanon, Military, 4/21/99 Israeli occupation forces and the pro-Israeli Lahd militia have continued building fortifications inside the town of Arnoun. News reports from south Lebanon said the citizens of Arnoun are moving to the liberated area in al-Nabatiyeh. Moreover, Israeli forces on Tuesday morning and later Monday night bombarded several towns adjacent to the occupied part of south Lebanon. Lebanese security sources said the Israeli bombardment targeted al-Zahrani river course and the outskirts of Arab Salim and the surrounding areas. In retaliation, the Lebanese national resistance attacked Israeli positions. Lebanese resistance sources said that one of its groups attacked the occupation position in All al-Taher and that another resistance group attacked the occupation position in al-Sweida. The sources said direct hits were achieved in the two Israeli occupation positions. Further reports from South Lebanon said the Lebanese national resistance at dawn Tuesday attacked Israel's moves inside Beaufort castle position, which overlooks the village of Arnoun. Lebanese resistance sources added it destroyed the western fortifications of the occupation position in al-Sweida. The sources added that resistance groups attacked on Monday night the Israeli moves in the occupation position of Barachit and attacked Sujoud and Balat positions. Direct hits were achieved. In another development Israeli occupation forces and the Lahd militias opened fire on a group of journalists who were covering the news of occupying the village of Arnoun outside the barbed wires surrounding the town. The Lebanese resistance sources said that the Lahd Militia men insulted those journalists, withdrew the films from their cameras and warned them and warned them of re-photographing the new Israeli positions established in Arnoun.

[CTRL] Fwd: Toxic Deception
In case you have any illusions about Al Gore's principles when it comes to protecting the public from corporate chemical predation, pick up and read Toxic Deception: How the Chemical Industry Manipulates Science, Bends the Law, and Endangers Your Health by Dan Fagin, Marianne Lavelle and the Center for Public Integrity (Common Courage Press, 1999). The book, first published in 1997, has a new afterword, starring Al Gore. In 1996, Congress amended the federal pesticides laws with something called the Food Quality Protection Act. It was an election year, and the Republicans wanted to pass something that made them look a touch Green. To spur them on, new studies emerged linking legal but toxic chemicals to childhood illnesses and hormone disrupting effects. The law called on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to review all of its regulated pesticides and take a fresh look at whether or not those products have hormone-disrupting effects and whether they pose a special risk to children. Immediately after the law was passed, the chemical industry, led by the Chemical Manufacturers Association and the American Crop Protection Association (those good folks at the pesticide companies who bring you the news on National "Public" Radio (NPR)), started whipping up anti-EPA sentiment among farmers and small businessmen, and their legion of lawyers and lobbyists began working pulling strings in Washington. But in early 1998, a rumor began to spread in Washington that the EPA was moving to restrict many of the organophosphate pesticides -- perhaps including the wildly popular household insecticide chlorphyrifos (Dursban) -- because of the risks they posed to children. The industry cranked up its public relations machinery into high gear. "The American Crop Protection Association used their web site and direct mail to get thousands of farmers to write in to the EPA, and if farmers didn't really know what to say in their letters, well the pesticide industry was happy to supply the wording and to mail the letters, too," Fagin, the environment reporter for Newsday, told us recently. Two farm belt Democrats -- Charles Stenholm of Texas and Marion Berry of Arkansas -- visited Vice President Gore to warn that he would face a tough time in important farm states like Iowa, Texas, Florida and California in the 2000 elections if the EPA moved against the organophosphate pesticides it was considering banning. "Soon after this visit, and after a lot of lobbying pressure from the industry, Gore directly ordered the EPA to slow down its implementation of these tougher pesticide standards that were required by the FQPA," Fagin told us. "He also told the EPA to make a special effort to consider the needs of agribusiness and the views of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A new advisory committee, which included many of the key chemical manufacturers and their consultants, was set up to review implementation of the new law. That committee is still meeting, and the EPA still hasn't moved against organophosphates." The guts of Toxic Deception shows that Al Gore is not exceptional in his tendency to kowtow to the industry -- he's just part of a system of lawmaking and policing that has been overwhelmed by a powerful industry that has no match in Washington. The authors looked at four heavily regulated chemicals -- alachlor, atrazine, formaldehyde and perchloroethylene. They found that studies of these chemicals funded by the chemical industry tended to find the chemicals innocent, while studies financed by non-industry sources tended to find the four chemicals to be dangerous to human health. The authors reviewed 161 studies of the chemicals on file at the National Library of Medicine and found that of 43 industry- funded studies, only six returned results unfavorable to the chemicals. But in the 118 studies conducted by non-industry researchers, 71 were unfavorable. The chemical companies are required by federal law to make any scientific findings available to the government if a chemical already on the market is found to pose a "substantial risk of injury to health or to the environment." The authors found that the industry frequently acted in "bad faith" in this regard. In 1991 and 1992, when the EPA offered amnesty from big-money fines to any manufacturer that turned in health studies they should have provided under the law earlier, manufacturers suddenly turned over more than 10,000 studies showing that their products already on the market pose a substantial risk, the authors reported. Toxic Deception is also highly critical of the revolving door between the EPA and the chemical industry. Of the 344 lobbyists and lawyers identified as having worked from 1990 to 1995 for the chemical companies and trade associations, at least 135 came from federal departments or agencies or congressional offices. In Washington, the chemical industry sets the agenda and has overpowered the nation's system of safeguarding the
[CTRL] Recolonisation of the Balkans
-Caveat Lector- Note: Reference to www.polyconomics.com is made in the following article; memo(s) referred to are at the end. AER From wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : Europe : The Balkan Crisis IMF "shock therapy" and the recolonisation of the Balkans By Nick Beams 17 April 1999 During the Balkan Wars of 1912-13 Leon Trotsky wrote: "In politics as in private life there is nothing cheaper than moralizing--nothing cheaper and more useless. Many people, however, find it attractive because it saves them from having to look into the objective mechanism of events." In all the acres of print and millions of hours of television programming devoted to the Balkan crisis, beginning with the dismemberment of the Yugoslav federation in 1991, there has been virtually no coverage, much less analysis, of its underlying causes. The reasons for this silence are not hard to find, for such an analysis reveals that behind the propaganda smokescreen of "humanitarian" concerns for the fate of refugees and the victims of "ethnic cleansing," powerful economic processes are driving the escalating military intervention of the imperialist powers. In his analysis of the November 1995 Dayton accord on Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Canadian author Michel Chussodovsky noted: "[T]he break-up of the Yugoslav federation bears a direct relationship to the program of macro-economic restructuring imposed on the Belgrade government by its external creditors. This program, adopted in several stages since 1980, contributed to triggering the collapse of the national economy, leading to the disintegration of the industrial sector and the piecemeal dismantling of the welfare state. Secessionist tendencies, feeding on social and ethnic divisions, gained impetus precisely during a period of brutal impoverishment of the Yugoslav population."[1] In her 1995 study of the Balkan crisis, carried out for the Brookings Institute, Susan Woodward took issue with the Washington scenario, according to which "rogue states" had emerged in the post-cold war world "headed by 'new Hitlers' such as Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Slobodan Milosevic, who defied all norms of civilized behavior and had to be punished to protect those norms and to protect innocent people."[2] Neither was the break-up of Yugoslavia, she insisted, the result of the springing to life of ethnic tensions and conflicts that had been held in a kind of "deep freeze" during the previous 40 years. Rather, the real origins of the breakdown of civil and political order lay in the economic decline caused largely by the debt repayment program imposed by the International Monetary Fund and other international financial institutions. "More than a decade of austerity and declining living standards corroded the social fabric and the rights and securities that individuals and families had come to rely on. Normal political conflicts over economic resources between central and regional governments and over the economic and political reforms of the debt-repayment package became constitutional conflicts and then a crisis of the state itself among politicians who were unwilling to compromise."[3] The causal connection between the debt repayment program imposed by the IMF and the break-up of Yugoslavia is also the subject of a recent posting on the Polyconomics, Inc. web site (www.polyconomics.com) by the site's director Jude Wanniski, a former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. Wanniski has forwarded a memo to US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright consisting of a report prepared by the then Polyconomics staff member Criton Zoakos in May 1993. "In 1987," Zoakos wrote, "the old Yugoslavia, with all its tragic failings, was still a functioning state. The International Monetary Fund then took over economic policy, implementing a number of all too familiar shock therapies: devaluation, a wage freeze, and price decontrol--designed on the Harvard/MIT economic textbook principles meant to drive the wage rate down to a level where it would be internationally competitive.

"These centrifugal forces began to tear apart at the federation, with the richer provinces of Croatia and Slovenia objecting to being drained of resources by the poorer provinces.

Om K [7] Blood Rites - Origins History of the Passions of War http://home.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9902DL=ctrlP=R88571 snip American patriotism, like the nationalisms of other nations, is celebrated on special holidays, and these are, in most instances, dedicated to particular wars or the memory of war. The Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Veterans Day all provide occasions for militaristic parades and the display of nationalistic emblems and symbols, especially the flag. On these and other occasions, such as commemorations of particular wars or battles, bugles are blown, wreaths are ceremoniously laid on monuments or graves, veterans dress up in their old uniforms, and politicians deliver speeches glorifying the nationalistic values of duty and "sacrifice." Through such rituals and observances of nationalism as a "secular religion," historian George L. Mosse has written, war is "made sacred."[42] But the "religion" of American patriotism is also distinctive in at least two ways. First, it features a peculiar kind of idolatry which can only be called a "cult of the flag."* {*Other comparable, English- speaking nations--the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia--do not indulge in flag worship. According to the Wall Street Journal (Nov. 7, 1996), British efforts to create a mass market for Union Jacks have fallen flat: "Many don't like what it stands for. A fair number aren't sure when, or if, the law lets them unfurl it. Quite a few haven't the foggiest idea of which side of it is up."} Just as the wartime Japanese fetishized the emperor's portrait, Americans fetishize their flag. A patriotic pamphlet from 1900 declared in unabashedly religious terms that the United States "must develop, define and protect the cult of her flag, and the symbol of that cult --the Star Spangled Banner-- must be kept inviolate as are the emblems of all religions."[43] Early twentieth-century leaders of the Daughters of the American Revolution held that "what the cross is to our church, the flag is to our country," and, in more overtly primitive terms, that the flag had been "made sacred and holy by bloody sacrifice".[16] The American flag can be found in almost every kind of public space, including churches, and it must be handled in carefully prescribed, ritual ways, down to the procedure for folding. It is "worshipped" by displaying it, by pledging allegiance to it, and, occasionally, by kneeling and kissing it.[45] It is the subject of our national anthem, which celebrates a military victory signaled by the survival, not of the American soldiers, but of the American flag, when the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. And anyone who still doubts that the American flag is an object of religious veneration need only consider the language of the proposed constitutional amendment, narrowly defeated in the Senate in 1995, forbidding the "desecration" of flags. from: http://www.sltrib.com/04201999/nation_w/99405.htm Tuesday, April 20, 1999 New Effort Unfurls Against Flag-Burning BY JOHN HEILPRIN THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Sen. Orrin Hatch plans to stoke the embers of his crusade to ban flag-burning at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today. The Utah Republican, who chairs the committee, has pushed since 1994 for Congress to approve a constitutional amendment to prohibit desecration of the American flag. The states would need to ratify the amendment. Seven witnesses scheduled to speak at the hearing on S.J. Res. 14 include retired Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, chairman of the Indianapolis-based Citizens Flag Alliance; fifth-grade teacher Maribeth Seely of Branchville, N.J.; and Harvard Law School professor Richard Parker. Protecting a patriotic symbol is the sort of issue that helps rally Hatch's conservative base. Last year, supporters in Illinois and Connecticut held rallies for the amendment over the Memorial Day weekend. But critics say amending the Constitution -- something that has been done only 17 times since the Bill of Rights was ratified more than two centuries ago -- would needlessly endanger the First Amendment's free-speech protection.

Government Poll Confirms Mass Migration of Central Americans to U.S.; 200,000-Plus Figure Just the Start of 'Wave... PRNewswire 20-APR-99 WASHINGTON, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 200,000 people have left Central America in recent months for the United States and another 600,000 will soon be on their way, according to polling data recently released by the U.S. Information Agency (USIA). One hundred thousand Hondurans -- 3.5 percent of that country's population -- have fled since the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Mitch. Twice as many Hondurans are thinking of leaving the country in the next month or so, the data indicate. "An exodus from Central America of this magnitude rivals the crisis in Europe triggered by the ethnic cleansing campaign in Kosovo," suggested Dan Stein, Executive Director of the Washington D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). "Not only is this the single largest wave of humanity ever to come to America illegally, but many will stay here permanently," he added, noting that the USIA poll found a majority of the respondents planned on staying in the U.S. for years, not months. Stein emphasized that hundreds of thousands of permanently relocated and poorly educated Central Americans will have a "devastating" impact on the job prospects of poor native Americans. In response to the devastating hurricane, the Clinton administration last December granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to 150,000 Central Americans already residing in the U.S. FAIR noted at the time that TPS awards are frequently misconstrued by others as an invitation to emigrate to the U.S. The USIA data note that many Hondurans who plan to leave the country soon believe that the United States is currently allowing many Hondurans to remain in the U.S without proper documentation. "What was promoted as a 'temporary' response to a crisis situation in Central America is about to turn into a permanent population transfer," Stein claimed. "This is proof once again that the only kind of disaster assistance that achieves its goals is the kind that helps people rebuild in their country," he added. The study also noted that half of Central Americans with plans to leave had been thinking of emigrating to the United States even before the arrival of Hurricane Mitch. Central America has sent a steady wave of asylum seekers to the U.S. this decade, with more than 400,000 claims being made between 1990 and 1996. "This exodus is sure to lead to amnesty demands for illegal aliens and trigger new waves of family-related migration," said Stein. In the long run, he added, the migration is likely "to cripple" the economies of those countries permanently. The study claimed that Honduras could lose nearly 10 percent of its workforce should the forecasted migration take place. = Robert F.

[CTRL] Police Comb Through Colorado School After Rampage
-Caveat Lector- "The attack was likely to renew the debate on gun control. The Colorado legislature has been debating whether to allow more concealed weapons permits, arousing criticism from gun control advocates. The legislature adjourned Wednesday after holding a moment of silence. " Wednesday April 21 3:19 PM ET Police Comb Through Colorado School After Rampage By Judith Crosson LITTLETON, Colo. (Reuters) - Police bomb experts Wednesday discovered 30 incendiary devices planted in or near a high school where two teenage gunmen mowed down 13 people before killing themselves in the worst school massacre in U.S. history. Jefferson County Sheriff's Office spokesman Steve Davis said SWAT teams found the 30 devices mostly in Columbine High School, but also in two cars parked outside the school and at the gunmen's homes. By morning, authorities lowered their estimated number of dead in Tuesday's bloody rampage from about 25 to a firm 15, although the death toll could rise as several of the 28 injured in the attack were in critical condition. Davis said of the 15 dead, 11 were males and four females and there was one adult among them, probably a teacher. Some of the victims' bodies were found under desks and cubicles, indicating they may have been trying to hide or run for their lives. The sheriff's office said 12 bodies -- nine boys and three girls -- were in the library, one adult male body was outside the library and two or three bodies were outside the school. During the siege students dropped their backpacks as they ran out of the building to safety, leaving police with the task of searching any belongings left in the library where most of the shooting took place. Students said the gunmen targeted athletes and minorities. Davis said police had still not been able to determine the motive and that the two gunmen -- both high school seniors -- did not leave a suicide note. But acquaintances of the two suspects, identified as Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, both 18, said they were members of an outcast group called the ``Trench Coat Mafia,'' whose members paraded around the school dressed in long black coats. The acquaintances said the two were ``smart'' but liked to talk a lot about guns and violence and shared a hatred of athletes who made fun of them Researchers at the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center said they downloaded an Internet file belonging to Harris in which he talked about how easy it was to make pipe bombs, saying, ``Pipes are about as easy to purchase as a CD.'' The file went into elaborate details on how to make the bombs and what kind of powder to use. Police searched the two youths' homes and were reported to have found bomb-making materials at one. Police were seen carrying out bags of computer equipment and books from Harris' home. The attack was by far the worst in a spate of school shootings that have shocked Americans over the past 18 months. It was also one of the bloodiest mass shootings of any kind in a country where gun control efforts have been hotly debated. Before Tuesday, the worst school shooting in the United States took place in March 1998 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, when two boys, aged 11 and 13, shot and killed a teacher and four girls. That was one of a series of incidents at U.S. schools in which at least 14 people were killed and more than 40 wounded in less than two years. Students who lived through the nightmare found it difficult to sleep last night amid memories of the attack. Josh Lapp said he was afraid to be alone in the dark. ``I was like a little kid again,'' he said. Littleton, a quiet, middle and upper middle class community of 65,000, south of Denver, remained in shock. A resident, Dorian Richards, pinned a note to a tree that summed up the feelings of many. ``I grew up around Columbine High School and I can say back then the biggest scare was getting bit by a prairie dog. Times have changed.'' The shooting scene remained one of chaos. Officials were unable to enter the school because of fears that bombs would detonate. Robots with cameras were used to search the building and the bodies of the dead remained inside for part of the day until the planted bombs were removed from the school. ``Right now, safety is the big concern,'' Davis said. The danger of the booby traps was brought home when one previously undiscovered device exploded late Tuesday -- hours after the slayings. The homemade devices included highly lethal pipe bombs, propane-fueled shrapnel explosives and plastic containers filled with gasoline and soap, the sheriff said. Some were found near the bodies of the two suspects and others elsewhere in the school and in cars in its parking lot. The attack was likely to renew the debate on gun control. The Colorado legislature has been debating whether to allow more concealed weapons permits, arousing criticism from gun control advocates. The legislature adjourned Wednesday after holding a moment of silence. U.S.

A Notice to TiM Readers PHOENIX, Apr. 21 - Your editor is back home again, after a grueling, but otherwise fairly uneventful, 35-hour Belgrade-Phoenix trip. One of these days, when and if the war subsides, we may bring you some human interest-type travel vignettes from this journey. Meanwhile, back to reporting and analysis of NATO's war against Serbia... But first, a notice to TiM readers. We have told you before that our Web site (www.truthinmedia.org) has been deluged by millions of hits from 80 countries around the world just during the first half of April. To accommodate such an enormous surge in demand, we are having to move our Web site to a faster server (computer). This work is in progress as we write. While the transfer is being done, TiM readers will NOT experience any difficulties in accessing our Web site, except for the SEARCH function, which will not be available for a few hours. But until the move is completed, we at TiM will not be able to update our Web page with any new information. Which means that for the next day or so, the Special TiM GW Bulletins will be send out only by e-mail. Thank you for your patience while we upgrade so as to serve you better. Also, since the faster server (computer) will mean considerable new expenses for our non-profit organization, we would appreciate additional donations from our readers. Just send your checks or money order to the TiM address shown at our Web site. Thank you. 2. NATO Madness: Attacking Media and Office Buildings to Get at Milosevic!? BELGRADE, Apr. 21 - The NATO madmen are getting personal. And killing the TV relays and an 18-story office tower supposedly to get at Slobodan Milosevic!? In the early hours of the morning, several cruise missiles hit the 18-story "Usce" ("Confluence") office tower in New Belgrade, across the river Sava from downtown Belgrade. And NATO also destroyed the Iriski Venac TV relay on Mt. Fruska Gora, depriving Serbia's second largest city, Novi Sad, and much of its northern province of Vojvodina, of TV reception. That's like hitting the Rockefeller Center in New York with cruise missiles, because that's where NBC HQ is, one of many U.S. establishment networks which is a part of Clinton's "lie and deny" PR factory. And taking out TV relays around New York City, so as to cut of the rest of the eastern states from the New York-based programming. Mad? It's worse than mad. Eyewitness reports from Belgrade suggest that there were numerous human casualties as a result of NATO's attack on the "Usce" office tower. Several missiles reportedly hit the top and bottom stories of the building. "I am looking right now at the burning building from my balcony," a TiM Belgrade source reported at 3:31AM local time. "Top and bottom floors of the building are on fire. But office lights are still on in the middle section. Flames are spreading from the bottom floors upward. I don't think the people trapped in the mid-section could be saved even if helicopters were to come to their aid." --- TiM Ed.: Anyone trying to imagine what it was like to be a journalist or a worker on a night shift trapped in the mid-section of the "Usce" building, should see again the 1970s film, "Inferno." Except that in this case, the fire was no accident. Thus the title of this real life horror story is, "Murder by NATO Pyromaniacs." 3. Serb TV HQ Next Target? Journalists as "Human Shield" BELGRADE, Apr. 21 - We've just been advised from Belgrade that NATO has signaled that its next target may be the Serb TV headquarters - by advising the foreign journalists to leave the SerbTV premises. Like NBC's HQ at the Rockefeller Center, the Serb TV offices are in the heart of downtown, surrounded by residential and other office buildings. The Yugoslav federal minister for information, Goran Matic, led a group of 100 domestic and foreign journalists last night on a tour of Serb TV buildings, so as to show them its purely civilian nature. A number of foreign correspondents reportedly decided to stay at the Serb TV building as another "human shield" against

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts (1) Kosovo Liberation Army are the major drug-lords in Europe, trafficking in narcotics from S.W. China, "China White", high purity heroin flooding Italy, rest of Europe, Germany (where KLA reportedly originally from) and New York and Chicago. Herr Clinton, no stranger himself to druglords, is protecting KLA druglords! (2) Oil discovered offshore in Adriatic, claimed separately and/or jointly by Rockefeller family, British Petroleum Co., the Vatican, Italy, Croatia, and Serbia, among others. Rockefellers and British Pete want to delay drilling to keep this large pool of oil, bigger than under Saudi, off the market to keep up oil prices. (3) Serbia reportedly has long-range missiles, left to them by their former patrons (the Soviets) -- now get this -- capable of reaching Washington, D.C. Fair is fair, right? If, without a declaration of war we can bomb Belgrade near a hospital, surely they have the "right" to missile attack the U.S. Capitol. I take no delight or satisfaction as an American knowing this. I am not the only American appalled at our slide toward the dogs of war. (4) Federal agents, acting like the Nazi Gestapo, are apparently grabbing and detaining Serbs living quietly in the U.S. as resident aliens. That is, Serbs with "green cards". So far, no witness is ready to testify how these people are disappearing. Note: federal agencies transfer "prisoners" (legal or otherwise) through the underground facilities at the airport at Oklahoma City and several other locations including Denver. Are the green card Serbs being deported? Or sent to detention camps such as the one offshore Alaska, confirmed to me when I was on an Anchorage radio talk show with some of the construction workers who were high paid to build these camps offshore Alaska. Activists with some of the Serb organizations in Chicago have confirmed to me that something like this is happening. Of course, the monopoly press is silent on such matters. (5) Herr Clinton has numerous motives to divert attention with war or war-scares. He and the First Lady are facing federal criminal charges for embezzling 47 million dollars from Madison Guaranty Savings Loan of Little Rock, owned by Susan McDougal's ex-husband Jim who apparently was murdered in prison the night before he was to testify about related matters. (6) Clinton and the First Lady are implicated in laundering hundreds of millions of dollars of dope funds disguised as currency and soybeans deals through the Chicago markets: The Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Stay tuned. 04-15-1999 The Chinese Secret Police in the UNITED STATES By Sherman H. Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts This is a story about the Chinese Secret Police in the UNITED STATES. When the Korean War ended, 1953, the U.S. made a peace accord with North Korea. There were no surrender terms, however, apparently with mainland China which had intervened in that war. The Chinese Secret Police had a score to settle with the U.S. The Beijing Government was disgruntled in that the U.S. Military, under Gen. Douglas MacArthur had caused Red China to intervene in the war by the U.S. troops going into North Korea up to the Yalu River, the North Korea/Red China boundary line. Result: waves of Red Chinese troops attacked the U.S. troops with huge casualties on both sides. Here is what happened, with a background. The Chinese Secret Police have a long history, going back to 550 B.C. By the 20th Century they were called Te-Wu, and they use a clandestine dialect almost impossible even for professionals to get into and understand. With only one exception, there have been no defectors to the Westso the CIA and FBI have been stymied on how to deal with them. U.S. espionage experts left over from World War 2---then called OSS, and supposedly out of service---quietly were used by the then-young CIA to track Te-Wu here. By 1956, the Chinese Secret Service made a massive effort to infiltrate the U.S. What were the Chinese doing here? They were suspected of strange bombings and murders---an on-going

Please send as far and wide as possible. Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com http://www.konformist.com/1999/jbarib.htm Date: Tuesday, April 20, 1999 05:59:59 AM From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To the editor: Another look at Sweeney's web page, titled "My answer to the bizarre 'Flatland' claims about the Judi Bari bombing. Alien abductions, pseudo-science and an old political feud." (http://www.saber.net/~sweeney/) Sweeney begins with a predictably snide comment about the alleged credibility of Flatland. "Leading the campaign is an obscure one-man magazine, Flatland, which says it specializes in books on 'alien abductions, UFOs, fringe science and conspiracy theories.' I've never been abducted by aliens myself, but now I know what it must feel like," Sweeney writes. Sweeney quotes me here, but falsely. The only book about alien abduction in Flatland's list is _Abduction_ by Harvard Professor John Mack, founder of Cambridge Hospital's Psychiatric Unit. He's a man of subtantial real-life achievement who tackled an unusual, difficult subject, so it's a natural choice for a Flatland listing. Having dispensed with Mendocino "craziness," Sweeney has bigger fish to fry. He doesn't refute any of the evidence presented by Ed Gerhman. He spends the bulk of his complaint attacking the credibility of an expert witness in a trial that hasn't happened yet: Don Foster, the country's leading attributional scholar. So Sweeney dredges up old quarrels by Shakespearian scholars with a bone to pick with Foster. In that effort, Sweeney cites Stephanie Caruana ("Funeral Elegy Update" at http://www.everreader.com/elegyupd.htm) as an authoritative reference on Shakespeare. Caruana is a former editor of _Playgirl_ magazine, but she's best known as the author of "The Skeleton Key to the Gemstone File," a veritable touchstone of JFK conspiracy literature. Variants of the Gemstone Files were circulated hand-to-hand throughout the late seventies, eventually being published in Larry Flynt's _Hustler_ magazine. The "Gemstone File" is Caruana's synopsis of 1,000 pages of allegatations by a San Franciscan, Bruce Roberts, who claimed to have invented the synthetic rubies that gave birth to laser technology. (Thus, the monikker, "Gemstone.") Roberts, via Caruana, claimed that his invention was stolen by Hughes Aircraft. Then Aristotle Onassis kidnapped Howard Hughes, replaced him with a "double" and spirited Hughes to a Greek island. Later, Onassis ordered the hit on JFK. I'm simplifying here, but you get the idea: the Caruana/Roberts material is controversial. I don't dismiss Stephanie Caruana's article about Foster on the basis that she is a conspiracy researcher, but it is hypocritical of Sweeney to cite Caruana as an authority, while ridiculing Flatland for selling books like hers. Sweeney has cited Stephanie Caruana, one of the world's more famous conspiracy-theorists, as a major source on Shakespeare. I've never been abducted by Aristotle Onassis and taken to a Greek island, nor do I know "what it must feel like." No less than five books are in print on the Gemstone Files. The newest one will be Kenn Thomas' forthcoming book from Adventures Unlimited Press. Caruana and the late, grand dame of conspiracy research, Mae Brussell, co-authored an article called "Is Howard Hughes Dead and Buried Off a Greek Island?" in Playgirl (December, 1974), and also "Is 'Cinque' the First Black Lee Harvey Oswald?" (Berkeley Barb, 1974). Of course this has nothing to do with identifying Judi's bomber. Learning Sweeney's actual whereabouts on May 23, 1990, could help. -Jim Martin Flatland If you are interested in a free subscription to The Konformist Newswire, please visit http://www.eGroups.com/list/konformist/ and sign up.

[CTRL] Congress Reacts to School Shootings
-Caveat Lector- Congress Reacts to School Shootings By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Lawmakers reacted Wednesday to the Colorado shootings by dusting off stalled proposals for improved school security and urging passage of tougher gun control laws. Some members of Congress are seeking a ``national dialogue'' on school violence and asking for more prayer in schools. ``We should not wait for another incident to happen before we take some action,'' said Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M. He is sponsoring a bill that would set aside $10 million so schools could benefit from security measures developed at the Energy Department's Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico. Examples include electronic identification cards for students, instant drug detection equipment and mechanisms to prevent false fire alarms. Bingaman said an Albuquerque, N.M., high school participating in a pilot project with the lab has seen dramatic declines in violent, property and other crimes since 1997. Fifteen people were killed Tuesday in the shootings at a high school in the Denver suburb of Littleton. The killings prompted gun control advocates to renew calls for stricter gun laws. ``A teen-ager can only do so much damage with his fists,'' said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. But Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., the National Rifle Association's chief advocate in Congress, said the problems that create ``young demons'' like the Colorado shooters ``go far deeper'' than access to guns. He said Congress and the president only can do so much. ``The solution's going to have to come from our schools,'' Barr said. John Czwartacki, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., noted Congress had set aside $60 million last year for a program to station police officers in schools. Sen. Jim Jeffords, R-Vt., chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, plans to go ahead with school safety hearings that already had been scheduled for May. One colleague, GOP Sen. John Ashcroft of Missouri, said Congress must re-examine federal laws that interfere with a school's ability to prevent such incidents. Another lawmaker, Rep. Jennifer Dunn, R-Wash., urged consideration of her proposal encouraging states to detain juveniles for at least 24 hours for bringing guns to school. But she, too, said a solution to the deadly combination of schools, students and guns lies not with Congress. Parents must be more involved with their children, she said. ``We need to talk to our children after they get home from school every night, at the dinner table, on weekends to find out what they're thinking, what they're feeling,'' Dunn said. Others called for a national discussion of school violence. ``We need to sit down together, and soon, to begin a meaningful conversation about the practical and concrete steps to be taken to prevent these tragedies,'' said Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, where a 16-year-old is accused of killing his parents and fatally shooting two classmates at a high school in Springfield last May. Added Rep. Tim Roemer, D-Ind.: ``Let us have and engage in a national dialogue to stop this hatred and violence in our schools.'' From Rep. James Traficant Jr., D-Ohio, came a call for more prayer in school. ``People who pray together are not likely ... to kill one another,'' he said. Also Wednesday, the shootings at Columbine High School led two Colorado state lawmakers to withdraw gun proposals from the current legislative calendar. One measure, by Republican state Rep. Gary McPherson, would let state law override local ordinances on gun control. McPherson said he acted ``out of deference to the victims and their families. Now is not the time to have this debate.'' The Colorado House's majority leader, GOP state Rep. Doug Dean, was sponsoring a bill to simplify the issuance of permits for concealed weapons. Dean reported receiving calls at his Colorado Springs home, some of them with ``veiled threats,'' after the Littleton shootings. -- -- Maybe this disaster would have been cut short if all the adults in the school had exercised their 2nd Amendment right and been armed. It's not a gun problem, it's a moral problem. Blame the idiots who took the standard "thou shalt not kill" out of the schools and replaced it with the "do your own thing" standard. The trenchcoat mafia kids were just doing their own thing, leave 'em alone. Thank you, socialist bastards of America, you taught them well. America, you're falling fast.. -- And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them: -Jeremiah 32:23 ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Patriot Resource Center: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6627/
[CTRL] Dangerous Times Near (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- DANGEROUS TIMES NEAR (CNNS, 04/21/99) -- The year 1999 is bound to see upheaval. This, not necessarily due to any perceived Y2K threat, but more due to a pervasive end-times psychology. We live, as they say, in "interesting times." The weather is going to get hotter. Predictions abound on Internet, but common sense will tell you that, yes, the weather is going to get hotter. Flash News: Not all Americans have air conditioning in their homes. That is a hard concept for some Americans to grasp. THEY have air conditioning so, *ipso facto*, all others have air conditioning. This news service originates from a TOWN THAT TIME FORGOT. This editor feels he ought to make local observations before all Hell breaks loose. You may have seen the movie, "Groundhog Day," starring Bill Murray. In that film, Murray enters a sort of time warp, where a Pennsylvania town he's entered does not proceed through normal "time" sequences. Instead, Murray finds himself in a town which does not age; a town seemingly unaffected by the progression of world events. Such a town is Champaign, Illinois. Example: The University library here, through much of the 1990s, had no magnetic detectors to stop any potential thieves from helping themselves to available books. In this heartland community, it was just unthinkable that "bad guys" could make their way hitherward. Remember: this situation was extant through much of the 1990s. If you yourself are not living in your own internal "time," where past and future have ceased to exist, then you can see that Champaign, Illinois lives in a Rod Serling "Twilight Zone" episode, where a John Phillips Sousa band yet plays melodies in the park on Saturday evenings. Example: Normal transportation here is by bicycle. I do mean normal. International readers of Conspiracy Nation, living in high density areas, will struggle to grasp the concept of a small city, in the midst of prairie-land, where unhurried life pokes along, peddling a bicycle in low-gear. These examples (above) are symbolic of the intellectual environment from which originate the speed-of-light, leading-edge transmittals of the Conspiracy Nation News Service (CNNS). But such a poke-along environment is what this editor is up against, not just here but throughout the current USA mass consciousness. Details cited above of the Champaign, Illinois LAND THAT TIME FORGOT probably appear hyperbolic to the typical, current, USA mass consciousness. But they are, by means of extreme context, a wake-up call to you, dear reader. Yes, this low-gear environment is an odd juxtaposition to you, living in your (relatively) "advanced" circumstances. But can you see that you, also, are living in your own somewhat backward land? Can you please, please see that you too live in a somewhat poke-along world, and that world events are about to make a loud KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK on your door? BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED. Violence against Yugoslavia serves to protect America *from its own violence*. [1] But violence, left unappeased, "will accumulate until it overflows its confines." [2]. That is why, for the moment, we can thank our lucky stars that the 15 dead Columbine High School bodies have atoned for USA violence against Yugoslavia. Their sacrifice redirects violence into "proper" channels. [3] BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED. In "primitive" societies, menstruating women are segregated from the community. Menstruating women *bleed*. Most primitive peoples take the utmost care to avoid contact with blood. Spilt blood of any origin... is considered impure... When men are enjoying peace and security, blood is a rare sight. When violence is unloosed, however, blood appears everywhere. [4] There is unimaginable potency in spilled blood. The Bible only hints at this potency when it states that spilled blood "cries from the ground."Put aside materialist conceptions and understand the vast occult magic unleashed when blood is spilled. WHEN VIOLENCE IS UNLOOSED, BLOOD APPEARS EVERYWHERE. The local Podunk Junction newspaper, the Champaign-Urbana News Gazette, headlines today, "The Search For 'Why.'" It bemoans that there is "no clear answer" to explain the Littleton, Colorado massacre. But there is a very obvious answer: when violence is unloosed, blood appears everywhere. This news service is not optimistic. Yet it dares to beg you, dear reader, to understand that "We've got trouble, right here in River City." All Hell, we fear, is about to break loose. It is going to get HOT. Please, please -- whether you believe in God or not -- say a prayer that the now-insane leaders of the United States will be redeemed from their madness. --- Notes ---
Re: [CTRL] Trenchcoat
-Caveat Lector- In school today, I saw my peers laughing about the massacre which happened in Columbine yesterday. That shows how desensitized they have become courtesy of the best brainwasher/programmer of all. T.V. Some were giggling and joking around, pointing at people who were wearing black, saying that they were members of the Trenchcoat Mafia. That shows how well the social engineering works at making people fit into a group. Then they make fun of people being different. The people who were wearing black said nothing in reply to them, but I, one of them, was wearing black because of the deaths yesterday. They could probably care less what other people think. Evidentially, the are secure in who they are and don't entertain the immature ramblings of others. You wore it for the right reasons. Society has raised a youth insensitive to horror, insensitive to each other, and far too familiar with ways of destruction. It's part of a larger agenda. The Committee of 300/Ruling Elite/New World Order needs to disarm the people before they can take over. All my peers at school today-- the most they could say was, "gee, isn't that bad".. the next moment they were laughing and joking. I don't feel that they should have been outraged and sadden and stricken all day, but at least show a *little* compassion. My belief is that this generation now, mine, is too callous and most likely cannot be changed to be aware of the actuality of horror.. By the time they are 16, they have seen an average of 8,000 murders. When you watch T.V., your eyes can't see the flickering of the screen. This put your brain in Alpha waves. Everything you see goes into your subconscious. You might think you can discern right from wrong. Your frontal lobe need to be in Beta for it to work. Read instead. The latest trend is it not, to murder school kidsHalloween, was i designed to terrify little children and turn murderers and butchers against them? What are you talking about? And what about abortion; if a woman wants an abortion, do it quietly between the doctor and patientnow our children observe their mothers murdering their babies. Arent we nice and setting nice examples...let alone Doctor Kovorkian, or whatever his name is. He is where he belongs; they should put him on death role to assist those condemned to die, in a more humane manner People on death row need no sympathy. Unless they were set up by 'someone' and are going to die innocently. It happened before and will happen again. Unless we somehow figure out how to revamp the legal system so not outside influence is allowed. Jesus woman, Doctor Kevorkian was doing a good thing-- providing a clean humane way for people whose quality of life and health has gone down the drain to die peacefully and with dignity! The 'nice example'? Children, I believe, are not going to be influenced by Doc Kevorkian.. The prison system, for them to allow Doctor Kevorkian not to eat.. aren't they letting him commit suicide? illegal? huh? HUH?? *spaz* The movie industry is controlled by our government; the five major publishing houses were bought by the Mafia some time back, and in 1974 World The movie industry is controlled by big money who get their scripts juiced up by the social engineers. Watch for the trends in movies. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what direction they want the mindless masses to go. Goes for T.V. too. So the government wants children to blow people up? The ruling elite would love that. But they need to get the guns first. The government is trying to get them due to the crying of the people who can't realize that people kill people and the guns are just the means by which it was carried out. I'm sure bombs are next. Now here is Clinton playing another humanitarian role, while he and his butchers of Waco and the Balkans send in armed troop virtually ready to blast away at the school. Can you imagine what might have happened here, if the killers were alone in the building...and had not killed themselves. How do you know they killed themselves? It's far more plausible that they were shot. If they were taken alive, it wouldn't be as shocking. Let's pity the killers, those who chose, I'm almost certain beyond a doubt, to kill on their own.. No one was shot by the police (as far as I know), and if the killers were alone in the building.. I would expect what they did to come right back and get them The one thing that I detested this afternoon, was a young man, who said "oh nobody liked them, they were scum"now I wonder why these kids would do as they did.who got their hooks into them, who set them offand why today?These kids were obviously on drugs, and this Mafia stuffwell how about a few moremovies with DiNiro playing the Godfather; he is in trouble now in Italy for criminal connections.

Very interesting! --SW) Bizarre connection in Columbine High shooting! How rash of school shootings connect to each other! By JP Essene Editor of Thee Under Ground Net 4/20/99 Ripleys believe it or not... The latest school shooting by the Trench Coat Mafia, in Littleton Colorado at Columbine High School is CONNECTED in a most BIZARRE way to the rash of school shootings that have been occurring all over the US the past couple of years. I've written several articles about all of these tragic school shootings and I knew that another would occur. IT WAS OVER DUE. And it did occur EXACTLY where I had warned in my previous articles on these school shootings, which all have something in common. This latest shooting, the worst in the history of school violence in the US, struck THE EXACT MIDDLE OF A LINE that I've been writing about since early 1995. This BIZARRE LINE OF TRADEGY is known on my site as THE SOLLOG LINE OF TRAGEDY. I've referred to it in countless articles before. Many other TRAGEDIES besides these school shootings have struck THE SOLLOG LINE as well. Such as: The Oklahoma City Bombing Jon Bennet Ransey's Death Versaces Death Michael Kennedy's Death Just to name a few of the other infamous TRAGEDIES that have ALL STRUCK THE LINE OF SOLLOG. You can find 1000's of referenences to this LINE OF TRAGEDY in USENET as well. Go to www.DejaNews.com and look up Sollog Line of Tragedy. The LINE OF SOLLOG came to be know in the media in 1995, when Sollog started warning about the FUTURE and NUKES in papers in the Philadelphia area. In fact a FAT SCUMBAG named Howard Altman of the Philadelphia City Paper is one of the best sources for early articles about Sollog and his LINE OF TRAGEDY on the net. You can read the Sollog articles written by Howard Altman the FAT UGLY EDITOR of The City Paper at www.citypaper.net. Just put in Sollog in their search engine, and you'll see all the old articles about Sollog where UGLY FAT HOWARD ALTMAN MOCKS SOLLOG and HIS LINE OF TRAGEDY. Then look at a map and see how THE TRAGIC EVENTS THEN ALL OCCURRED ON SOLLOGS LINE. (PS I hear a famous MYSTIC says that Howard Altman has his throat slit by a homeless person for mocking Sollog. If you are a Sollog Fan and want to email a SOLLOG RULES YOU SUCK Message to SCUMBAG HOWARD ALMAN and a few others THAT LIE about Sollog Click Here ) After Sollog published HIS WARNINGS in the Philadelphia media in early 1995, Sollog then sued the US government over NUKES. He again wrote about THIS LINE in detail in his case (US Federal court Philadelphia 96CV 1499), and he also wrote in that case about many other events IN THE FUTURE in remarkable detail. So exact was the details by Sollog of FUTURE EVENTS like TWA 800 and Diana's Death that the European media calls him NOSTRADAMUS of the 90's. He guaranteed in 1995 that certain types of TRAGEDIES like these bizarre shootins would all occur on a STRAIGHT line across the US. They then occurred and they have indeed struck the SOLLOG LINE of tragedy across the HEART OF AMERICA mentioned by Sollog in his famous case (Even the Washington Post wrote about the case, although they think it doesn't exist. That is why the publisher of this site has a One Hundred Thousand Dollar Guarantee the case is real and the documents about TWA 800 and Diana are authentic.) As I noted in my other articles, Springfield Oregon and Jackson (Pearl) Mississippi are both ON THE SOLLOG LINE. When you connect the school shootings that did not occur ON THE SOLLOG line, another STRAIGHT LINE is formed by the locations of the shootings in Jonesboro Arkansas, Paducah Kentucky and Edinboro PA. These TWO School Shooting Lines (Springfield to Pearl and Edinboro through Jonesboro) just happen to INTERSECT in HOPE ARKANSAS the birth place of that scumbag in the Whitehouse, aka Bill Clinton. You know the ass that just started World War III in the Balkans. Yes Clinton is the FOCAL POINT of these tragedies when you start to map them out! It's also a FACT, that the EXACT POINT IN THE MIDDLE of the two previous shootings ON THE SOLLOG LINE is EXACTLY where this latest shooting occurred. LITTLETON is the halfway point between the school shootings that occurred in Springfield Oregon and Jackson (Pearl) Mississippi directly ON THE SOLLOG LINE. Look at this map of the US. Is this a coincidence? NOT It is a WARNING that NUKES are near, says the WORD OF ONE aka Sollog. With events in the BALKANS you KNOW NUKES may indeed be around the corner. Thanks to the admitted LIAR, ADULTERER, PERJURER and MURDERER from the capital in DC. To sum up these shootings. In 1995 Sollog WARNED of NUKES, and he GUARANTEED a line of tragedy would appear across the US. This line indeed connects many tragic events to each other. Sollog says THESE DEATHS of

[CTRL] Bearden on Advanced E/M Weaponry
-Caveat Lector- Subject: Re: KGB Electromagnetics Date: Tuesday, April 20, 1999 11:34 PM - - - - - A Rare Event: Tom Bearden Talks About Weaponry "I promised Zoh some years ago that I would come on her show and I would talk about weaponry and I'm fulfilling that promise today." One of the greatest man-induced dangers we face as a planet today is the development of electromagnetic frequencies to be used as wave warfare. In April of 1997 Secretary of Defense William Cohen admitted he was concerned about threats of terrorism with weapons that can cause earthquakes and trigger volcanoes. Over the years we have shared with our audiences many different approaches to the subject of quantum mechanics, the work of Nikola Tesla, the concerns about ELF wave warfare, mind control, and other technological nightmares predicted by the misuse of these technologies. Investigators and researchers in these areas often refuse to speak publicly about their work, and usually Ltc. Tom Bearden is one of them. When asked, Bearden typically declines to share his knowledge about our government's involvement in behavioral weaponry, lecturing instead on the many other facets in his amazing repertoire. Indeed, there are other lecturers speaking publicly about behavioral weaponry, but often they are sent by the government to assure the public this stuff doesn't go on. But on May 16, 1997, however, Tom Bearden kept his promise, and agreed to be a guest on The Zoh Show and tell her audience what he knows about electromagnetic weaponry. Zoh recalled meeting Christopher Bird for the first time in December 1977. The co-author of the classic, The Secret Life of Plants, Chris Bird eventually became the best man at the wedding of Dr. Bob and Zoh (see Hieronimus Co. Newsletter #6), and at that first meeting Chris noted Zoh's interest in learning how frequencies are capable of changing consciousness, healing and harming. Chris said, "You must speak to my good friend Tom Bearden." Tom and Zoh briefly discussed his work in weaponry, with a promise to go into more details at their next meeting. Since then, he has discontinued public speaking about his knowledge, until this date, twenty years later, on May 16, 1997 when he joined The Zoh Show to help promote the New Energy Conference of May 1997, and fulfill his twenty year old promise. Zoh asked Tom to give his own rendition of his biography and he modestly summarized his extraordinary background like this: "Well, in all these matters, Zoh, you've got to keep your sense of humor. I started out to be a country western guitar picker and singer and followed that trade until I wound up in the U.S. Army. I had an Army career, I'm retired of course, then worked in aerospace for 19 years. That's basically my background. Masters Degree in Nuclear Engineering, B.S. degree in mathematics, some other courses here and there, and the equivalent of a Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering from a special Army course. I got concerned early on looking at electromagnetics," when he realized text book teachings were antiquated in the teachings and concept of energy. "It was all twisted up, and it is to this day, and I'm not the only one who says that. Some of the very famous foundation's physicists have pointed out that electrodynamics should be completely redone, but it's fashionable to never pay attention to that." Tom says he got concerned because it appeared to him that if the errors were corrected, "you could also model the mind," he continues. "I've always been convinced that we are human beings. We are not meat computers and we are not machines. If we lose sight of the fact of our humanity and our human beingness, the rest of it doesn't matter anyway. If we are nothing but a bunch of robots beating one another's brains out then we would be better off to be destroyed and populate the earth with real human beings. SCIENCE NEEDS TO CONSIDER HUMAN-NESS "One of the things that I wanted to see was a science that was more humane, that considered human beings as well as materialism. Fortunately, quantum mechanics destroyed materialism about sixty-something years ago but unfortunately it hasn't fallen down yet. It's dead but it's not toppled over, and unfortunately most of our scientists are still materialists," meaning they believe that the brain is where all the action is. In their belief, he says, "there's no such thing as an independent mind or independent spirit or anything." Tom is reluctant to discuss our military's involvement in electromagnetic warfare because he doesn't want to be "gagged". "First of all, as you can probably imagine, I've leaned over backwards and stayed completely out of any room that had anything to do with anything our own government might be doing or might not be doing. The obvious reason is: everything I did had to be done from open sources -- otherwise you just end up getting classified,

Eltie Please read the following carefully if you intend to stay online and continue using email: The last few months have revealed an alarming trend in the Government of Canada attempting to quietly push through legislation that will affect your use of the Internet. Under proposed legislation Canada Post will be attempting to bill email users out of "alternate postage fees". Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. to charge a 5 cent surcharge on every email delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at source. The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP. Toronto lawyer Richard Stepp QC is working to prevent this legislation from becoming law.The Canada Post Corporation is claiming that lost revenue due to the proliferation of email is costing nearly $23,000,000 in revenue per year. You may have noticed Canada Post's recent ad campaign "There is nothing like a letter". Since the average citizen received about 10 pieces of email per day in 1998, the cost to the typical individual would be an additional 50 cents per day, or over $180 dollars per year, above and beyond their regular Internet costs. Note that this would be money paid directly to Canada Post for a service they do not even provide. The whole point of the Internet is democracy and non-interference. If the Canadian Government is permitted to tamper with our liberties by adding a surcharge to e-mail, who knows where it will end. You are already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because of bureaucratic inefficiency. It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered from Mississauga to Scarborough. If Canada Post Corporation is allowed to tinker with email, it will mark the end of the "free" Internet in Canada. One back-bencher, Liberal Tony Schnell (NB) has even suggested a "twenty to forty dollar per month surcharge on all Internet service" above and beyond the government's proposed email charges. Note that most of the major newspapers have ignored the story, the only exception being the Toronto Star that called the idea of email surcharge "a useful concept who's time has come" (March 6th 1999 Editorial) Don't sit by and watch your freedoms erode away!

[CTRL] Fwd: Johanna Quandt/BMW Nazis
[The Guardian] [Guardian Unlimited] [Archive] You'd be smiling too if you were worth £12 billion She started out as a secretary. Now Johanna Quandt is Europe's second richest person. Hans Kundnani goes on the trail of the shadowy figure behind BMW Monday April 19, 1999 Not many BMW drivers will have heard of Johanna Quandt. But the reclusive widow of the late Herbert Quandt, the man who was instrumental in rebuilding the firm after the second world war, has for almost 40 years been one of the most important - yet mysterious - figures behind the scenes of the BMW empire. According to last week's Sunday Times Rich List, 71-year-old Quandt is the second richest person in Europe, worth almost £12 billion. The family's shares in BMW alone, which she inherited after her husband's death in 1982, are worth £5 billion. Given the fantastic extent of her wealth and power - not least over the workforce of the Rover plant in Longbridge - remarkably little is known about her or her family. She spends most of her time in a guarded villa in Bad Homburg, an exclusive suburb of Frankfurt, occasionally venturing out to make incognito shopping trips. She is almost never seen in public, and has never given an interview to a journalist. She is even said to travel economy class, under an assumed name. In fact, the Quandt family is so secretive that it was only in 1995, when a new German insider-trading law obliged them to disclose their stake in BMW, that the full extent of their control emerged. But behind Quandt's spectacular wealth is a remarkable story of how a secretary became one of the most powerful women in European industry, a story which spans the entire post-war history of Germany; and, in fact, parallels the reconstruction of Germany after it lay in ruins in 1945. In 1960, when Herbert Quandt married his secretary Johanna Bruhn, BMW was a struggling manufacturer of motorcycles, which was heavily in debt and had narrowly avoided bankruptcy and takeover. Many of its shareholders had lost faith in its ability to recover, and few could have anticipated its future. The Bayerische Motoren Werke was set up in 1917 as a manufacturer of aircraft engines (the company's famous blue and white logo represents a propellor). With its increasing success in the 1920s, it expanded into motorcycles, then automobiles. At this point, Gunther Quandt, Herbert's father, bought into the company. But the second world war left it discredited and virtually destroyed. The Quandts, by then significant shareholders in BMW, had been part of Hitler's inner circle: not only was Gunther Quandt an economic adviser to Hitler, but his wife, Magda (Herbert Quandt's mother) later also married Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. During the war BMW had, like nearly all the great names of the German car industry, been integrated into the German war machine, making engines for the Luftwaffe. When the Red Army [Image] reached the BMW motorcycle factory in south-east Germany in 1945, it confiscated the

[CTRL] Fwd: Significant Number of Draft-Dodgers Fleeing Yugoslavia to Bosnia
Significant Number of Draft-Dodgers Fleeing Yugoslavia to Bosnia AP 20-APR-99 UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- A significant number of draft-dodgers are among the more than 20,000 refugees from Yugoslavia who have streamed across the border into Bosnia-Herzegovina, the U.N. special representative to Bosnia said Tuesday. Elisabeth Rehn had no estimate of the number of draft-dodgers, but she said quite a number of young men crossing into Bosnia have told authorities, "they don't want to be drafted and that is the reason why they are coming." The draft-dodgers include Muslim Slavs, Serbs, and others, she said. Yugoslavia has a draft for males from age 18, but men serve in the reserves until well into middle age and are subject to an annual two-week callup. Under the state of war declared last month, the government has the right to call into military service any male aged 18 to 65. Rehn estimated that between 20,000 and 25,000 Yugoslav refugees are currently in Bosnia, which is still coping with 800,000 displaced people unable to return to their homes. U.N. officials realize that Bosnian Serbs who fled to Yugoslavia during the war in Bosnia may now seek to return to the Serb-controlled half of Bosnia for political and economic reasons, Rehn said. "We have to handle as many as come to avoid being murdered, or drafted into an unjust war by (Yugoslav President Slobodan) Milosevic," said Bosnia's U.N. Ambassador Muhamed Sacirbey. Rehn praised police in the Serb-controlled entity known as Republika Srbska for trying "to keep up law and order." She said it was also "rewarding" that the Interior Ministry responded professionally to ensure the security of the international community in the face of demonstrations, grenade attacks, and the destruction of property.

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: DRUDGE REPORT [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 1999 7:53 PM Subject: DRUDGE-REPORT-FINAL 4/21/99 X DRUDGE REPORT X 04/21/99 22:51:05 UTC X PAPERS: JOCKS CALLED TRENCHCOAT MEMBERS 'GAY'; BOYS WOULD HOLD HANDS IN THE HALLS Jocks at Columbine High School would pick on the school's Trenchcoat Mafia, calling members "gay", the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER is reporting in Thursday editions. "They were ones you'd make fun of," Mike Smith, 18, a senior and a point guard on the school's state championship basketball team, tells the paper. Smith says that "he and the other jocks would pick on the mafia members, egging them on with gibes of 'gay,' or 'inbreed'." Harris and Klebold would respond in German, Smith tells the INQUIRER. "They'd talk back to us in another language and we'd just laugh." The tensions between the jocks and the trenchcoats came to a head at the end of the last school year. For several weeks, Smith tells the paper, the two groups fought almost daily after school. "It was like, 'OK, we'll meet you here and we'll meet you there and get it all over with.'" He said school officials knew about the fights but did little to stop them. At the time in the past, he had shrugged off the disputes. But Wednesday, he felt guilty, reports the paper's Richard Jones and Gwen Florio in Littleton. "Sometimes," he added, gesturing at the school over his shoulder, "I think it's because of me." Jon Vandermark, a 16-year-old sophomore, tells Thursday's DAILY SENTINEL [in Grand Junction, Colo.] that members of the Trenchcoat Mafia said they were bi-sexual. "Boys would hold hands in the halls sometimes," Vandermark tells the paper. "They were called freaks, homos and everything in-between." Junior Nicole Shieve watched as the two, and others in the group, kept getting picked on during school.

According to publishing sources, the paper's Michael Gordon and Craig Whitney will report that there is now an active behind-the-scenes debate on ground troops. The issue is not on the agenda at this weekend's big NATO meeting in Washington, but one high European official of the alliance tells the TIMES: "The leaders are certainly going to be talking about it, over dinner, informally." The official continues: "The British, the French and the Turks might all be willing to go in with ground troops... But what do the Americans want?" Developing...

X X X X X LITTLETON SCHOOL MASSACRE NOT WORST IN U.S. HISTORY A massive error is circulating in the media about Tuesday's Colorado school tragedy: It was not, repeat, not the worst attack on a school in United States history. [REUTERS: "The country's worst school massacre, in Littleton, Colo." UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL: "The worst school massacre in U.S. history."] On May 18, 1927, 45 people were killed, including 38 elementary students, by a series of dynamite explosions at the Bath Michigan School. After detonating explosives he planted under the school, "maniac bomber" Andrew Kehoe, a school board member and treasurer and farmer, blew up his pickup truck, killing himself and the Bath School superintendent. "I don't remember hearing any noise, but I remember flying in the air and seeing things fly between me and the sun," remembers AdaBelle McGonigal, then 11 and in the fifth grade. "But I don't ever remember falling." AdaBelle's ear was nearly torn off in the blast that killed 38 of her classmates. Seven adults also died that day. Because this happened so long ago, it is something that most reporters don't know about and have failed to reference in the coverage of the
