[CTRL] INTERNATIONAL CORRIDOR CUTS THE US IN HALF (repost)
-Caveat Lector- From: "Bobby G. Christian" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 Subj: SNET: INTERNATIONAL CORRIDOR CUTS THE US IN HALF - SNETNEWS Mailing List A short time ago I uncovered some amazing and perplexing information that will effect this entire nation. AN INTERNATIONAL TRADE CORRIDOR, MILES WIDE, WILL CUT THE U.S. IN HALF. by Bobby G. Christian According to Federal and State Department of Transportation officials I talked with, and the public documents that I obtained from them, Highways I-35, I-94, I-29 have been designated by the United Nations World Trade Organization as "Main International Nafta/Gatt Trade Corridor Highways" connecting a spider web of "international" trade corridor highways the will blanket the entire United States. The main "international trade corridor highways" will cross Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. Though built on sovereign U.S. soil these "international corridor highways" will be constructively under the control of the U.N. through the W.T.O. Federal legislation to implement this designation, that turns many U.S. highways into "international" highways, was "hidden" in various bills that have been passed by our Congress and signed into law by Bill Clinton. The "T.E.A. 21 Act", and the "National Highway System Act of 1995" are among these bills. U.S. Senator John Ashcroft was recently on television in Missouri saying that he will work to see that Kansas City Missouri will become "the international trade center and International trade port of the United States". (Missourians have recently found that Ashcroft isn't the great american that the people thought they were putting into office.) The "right-of-way" for the "main international corridor highways" will be as much as 4 miles wide to accommodate what will ultimately be 12 lane highways with a railroad system that will parallel the highways. "DOT lawyers will "acquire" the land for these right-of-ways. (good bye to a lot of good farmland and small towns. What ever happened to our national sovereignty and our constitutional rights including private property rights?) Construction on the larger main corridor has already started in Southern Texas. Studies show Projected traffic estimates are as high as 280,000 foreign load trucks a day will use these corridors. (increased drug traffic, smoke, dust, illegal aliens, more disease, foreign bandits - Whee I can't wait can you?) Many foreign trucks are using the existing highways in the trade corridor right now. Many of the foreign trucks carry uninspected "sealed cargo containers" off of foreign ships, including Communist Chinese ships. The rail roads in Kansas City Missouri have stacks and stacks of sealed Red Chinese cargo containers setting along the tracks waiting to be placed on trucks. I have seen these with my own eyes. The people that Bill Clinton calls "our trade partners", the Red Chinese, are, even now, using these corridors extensively. Never mind that, according to the CIA, the Red Chinese trade company, COSCO, is a branch of the communist Chinese Military and that every person working for COSCO is a communist espionage agent capable of sabotage, espionage, and murder. Never mind that the Red Chinese, with the help of Bill Clinton, has "acquired" almost all of our military secrets and are at present building the largest military force that the world has ever seen, and is preparing that force for offensive action. Never mind that the Chinese Communists are the most blood thirsty, savage, murderers of innocent people in the modern world. Our government gives them free access to carry "uninspected, sealed cargo containers" up and down our highways. God only knows what these sealed containers contain. Suitcase atomic bombs? Biological or chemical weapons? [Invasion troops? Heroin?] No one knows for sure what the sealed containers have in them. They are sealed in Red China and unsealed in the Cosco warehouses. One high level DOT worker that I talked with said. "Ron Slater, one of those crooked Arkansas politicians that Bill Clinton took with him to Washington, was appointed by Bill as The Secretary of Transportation and it is his group that is forcing the states to expedite the creation of these international trade corridor highways" (Now we know another reason why the communist chinese gave Bill Clinton so much money as "campaign contributions".) The main highways of the international trade corridor start at the Mexican border and go North across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota, the heartland states, and end in upper Canada. In other words, this "INTERNATIONAL" corridor, under constructive control of the U.N. bureaucrats, bisects (cuts in half) the United States. What a gift to any military enemy, say the Red Chinese, to have the center of the U.S., from the Southern border to the Northern border, under constructive

[CTRL] (1/2) No News is Bad News (1998)
-Caveat Lector- Project Censored's list of THE 10 MOST CENSORED STORIES OF 1998. (The following stories, plus timely articles and reviews and resource guide, are included in "Project Censored Yearbook: Censored 1998: The News That Didn't Make the News," by Peter Phillips and Project Censored, ISBN 1-888363-64-9, $16.95 (UK 11.99)(Cdn $23.95). Copies can be ordered at your local bookstore or by contacting Project Censored at 707-664-2500 (16.95 + 3.00 SH). Some developments in the course of history have such potential to impact nations and humans that it would be irresponsible to ignore them. Yet few mainstream news organizations have reported on the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI), which would set in place a vast series of protections for foreign investment. According to reports in the alternative press, the MAI would threaten national sovereignty by giving corporations near equal rights to nations. This agreement has the potential to place profits ahead of human rights and social justice, and that is why our judges named this story the No.1 censored or under reported story of 1998. MAI, hatched in secret negotiations that began in 1995 among the U.S. and 28 other nations, could thrust the world economy closer to a system where international corporate capital would hold free reign over the democratic values and socioeconomic needs of people. The MAI will also have devastating effects on a nation's legal, environmental and cultural sovereignty. It will force countries to relax or nullify human, environmental and labor protection to attract investment and trade. Necessary measures such as food subsidies, control of land speculation, agrarian reform and health and environmental standards can be challenged as "illegal." This same illegality is extended to community control of forests, local bans on use of pesticides, clean air standards, limits on mineral, gas and oil extraction, and bans on toxic dumping. The apparent goal of the latest international trade negotiations is to safeguard multinational corporate investments by eliminating democratic regulatory control by nation states and local governments, the authors report. More radical than NAFTA or GATT, MAI would thrust the world much closer to a transnational laissez-faire system where international corporate capital would hold free reign over the democratic wishes and socioeconomic needs of people. Mostly ignored by mainstream press, coverage of this issue was offered in the following sources: IN THESE TIMES, "Building the Global Economy," Jan. 11, 1998, by Joel Bleifuss; DEMOCRATIC LEFT, "MAI Ties," Spring 1998, by Bill Dixon; TRIBUNE DES DRIOTS HUMAINS, "Human Rights or Corporate Rights?"

-Caveat Lector- TOP 25 "CENSORED" STORIES OF 1998 cont'd No. 8 NO MERCY FOR WOMEN AS CATHOLIC HOSPITAL MERGERS THREATEN REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS: Nationwide hospital mergers with Roman Catholic church medical facilities are threatening women's access to abortions, sterilization, birth control, in vitro fertilization, fetal tissue experimentation, and assisted suicide. In 1996, over 600 hospitals merged with Catholic institutions in 19 states. The merged partnerships extend from Portland, Maine, to Oakland, Calif., and these mergers and partnerships with hospitals and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are resulting in the impairment of reproductive health care rights across the nation. Ms. gives the example of Kingston Hospital in Rhinebeck, N.Y. Kingston once performed about I00 abortions a year, but if merged with Benedictine Hospital, a Roman Catholic facility, it will provide the service for medical reasons only. No hospital in the community would provide birth control counseling or family planning services. Collaborations between secular and Roman Catholic hospitals have made the Roman Catholic Church the largest private health care provider in the nation. Why would they want to join forces with secular hospitals? "The big money in the hospital comes when you have a closed system of doctors, HMO'S, and hospitals all feeding each other in a closed loop," writes Dinsmore. Though activists object to partnerships between religious and secular hospitals that result in the ban of reproductive services, they are sometimes willing to accept lesser collaborations, such as joint ventures or affiliations, in which it's more likely religious directives won't be imposed. In response to community pressure, some health care agreements have resulted in independently run women's health clinics. Some activists, however, say it's a lousy solution because separate women's health clinics are often easier targets for anti-abortion extremists.

TAX DOLLARS SUPPORT DEATH SQUADS IN CHIAPAS: On December 22, 1997, in the village of Acteal, in the highlands of the Mexican state of Chiapas, 45 local men, women and children were shot as they were praying. Their bodies were dumped into a ravine. Elsewhere throughout the state of Chiapas, unarmed women face down armies "with fists held high in rebellion and babies slung from their shoulder." In Jalisco, more than a dozen young men were kidnaped and tortured. One of them, Salvador Jimenez Lopez, drowned in his own blood when his tongue was cut out. The group responsible for these and other atrocities are allegedly members of the Mexican Army Airborne Special Forces Groups (GAFE)-a paramilitary unit trained by U.S. Army Special Forces. Mexican soldiers are being trained with U.S. tax dollars to fight an alleged" War on Drugs, but peasants activists say the real motive driving the U.S.-supported war is the protection of foreign investment rights in Mexico. "In Chiapas, U.S. tax money pays for weapons and military ... to destroy a movement for social justice ... . The United States transfers aid to the Mexican military in cash, weapons and comterinsurgency training. The 1998 Clinton administration budget earmarked more than $21 million dollars for the Mexican Drug War, including $12 million for Pentagon training in "procedures for fighting drug traffic." Anti-drug effort seems to continue to focus on the Chiapas region where 80 percent of the communities are in conflict zones. According to the Zapatismo Papers (Wood), acts of inhumanity by GAFE were led by Lt. Col. Julian Guerrero Barrios, a 1981 graduate of the U.S.-sponsored School of Americas (SOA). Although it remains unknown how many of the 15 soldiers charged in the Acteal incident were trained at U.S. bases, the Pentagon has admitted that some of the soldiers arrested were U.S. trained.

-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: undisclosed-recipients:; undisclosed-recipients:; Date: Wednesday, 30 June 1999 8:28 Subject: [apfn] Russian Bioweapons Expert Warns of Comming Attacks on West From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SIGHTINGS Top Russian BioWeapons Expert Warns Of Coming Attacks On West 6-28-99 A NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE ADVISORY 6-28-99 This sobering insight into the Soviet Union's deadly biowar research program - conducted, you'll notice in passing, under the overall supervision of Mikhail Gorbachev - comes from the Soviet expert directly responsible for it. Note his chilling warning that: "Bioweapons are no longer contained within the bipolar world of the Cold War. They are cheap, easy to make, and easy to use. In the coming years, they will become very much a part of our lives." Now, why were we reminded, upon reading that, of the ominous statement in the elite's 1994 Report, OUR GLOBAL NEIGHBOURHOOD: THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON GLOBAL GOVERNANCE", that global citizens of the future would be "granted limited rights in exchange for guaranteed security." Granted "limited rights" BY who, in exchange for "guaranteed security" FROM who? If you checked the box alongside the answer "The same people", and had globalist groups like the Bilderbergers in mind, we rather suspect that you'll soon be considered too independently well-informed to be permitted to stay on the planet! John Whitley, Editor NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE [http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley/index.htm] [To join the NWO/Y2K low-volume mailing list, send your e-mail address to [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Toronto Star, June 26th, 1999 A LARGE DOSE OF TERROR An inside look at how the Soviet Union developed lethal germ weapons, and why the end of the Cold War has made the threat of biological warfare even worse By Ken Alibek An edited excerpt from the chilling new book, Biohazard, by Ken Alibek, a former biological weapons expert in the Soviet Union, with The Star's Stephen Handelman. ON A BLEAK island in the Aral Sea, 100 monkeys are tethered to posts set in parallel rows stretching out toward the horizon. A muffled thud breaks the stillness. Far in the distance, a small metal sphere lifts into the sky then hurtles downward, rotating, until it shatters in a second explosion. Some 25 metres above the ground, a cloud the colour of dark mustard begins to unfurl, gently dissolving as it glides down toward the monkeys. They pull at their chains and begin to cry. Some bury their heads between their legs. A few cover their mouths or noses, but it is too late: They have already begun to die. At the other end of the island, a handful of men in biological protective suits observe the scene through binoculars, taking notes. In a few hours, they will retrieve the still-breathing monkeys and return them to cages where the animals will be under continuous examination for the next several days until, one by one, they die of anthrax or tularemia, Q fever, brucellosis, glanders, or plague. These are the tests I supervised throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. They formed the foundation of the Soviet Union's spectacular breakthroughs in biological warfare. Between 1988 and 1992, I was first deputy chief of Biopreparat, the Soviet state pharmaceutical agency whose primary function was to develop and produce weapons made from the most dangerous viruses, toxins and bacteria known to man. Biopreparat was the hub of a clandestine empire of research, testing, and manufacturing facilities spread out over more than 40 sites in Russia and Kazakhstan. Nearly every important government institution played a role in the Soviet biological weapons program. The System, as Biopreparat was often called, was more successful than the Kremlin had ever dared to hope. Over a 20-year period that began, ironically, with Moscow's endorsement of the Biological Weapons Convention in 1972, the Soviet Union built the largest and most advanced biological warfare establishment in the world. Through our covert program, we stockpiled hundreds of tons of anthrax and dozens of tons of plague and smallpox near Moscow and other Russian cities for use against the United States and its Western allies. What went on in Biopreparat's labs was one of the most closely guarded secrets of the Cold War. Before I became an expert in biological warfare I was trained as a physician. The government I served perceived no contradiction between the oath every doctor takes to preserve life and our preparations for mass murder. For a long time, neither did I. Less than a decade ago, I was a much-decorated army colonel, marked out for further promotion in one of the Soviet Union's most elite military programs. If I had stayed in Russia, I would have been a major general by now, and you would never have heard my name. But in 1992, after 17 years inside Biopreparat, I resigned from my position and fled with my family to

-Caveat Lector- When building an association of political participants, there will always be diversity. The failure to incorporate diversity leads to the presidium mentality where in an elite few, project the good for the whole. Today in America, this mentality is presented to Americans everyday on CSPAN, wherein the one party state found on the shores of the Potomac propagates with the aide of its public affairs programming supported by its enfranchised broadcasters. In 1992, a Texan, whose fortune was made in Data processing stormed upon the scene the good ole American way. Using his cunning, and his wealth, he shook the one party to state to its knees. Then one day in July of that summer, his Steam roller crashed. We here in America do not the facts behind that crash, but many believe that this third party is a vent for Americans. Within a despotic state controlled by a central authority, it is better to have a loyal oppoistion, then no opposition. Is this reform movement truly up to the challenge? Is this reform Movement willingly to tolerate diveristy, and allow the rank and file, the party cohorts make their own decisions, or is this reform movement simply acting as relief valve as the loyal opposition. History is rank with the failure of the people to stand tall, and secure their opportunity do not their timidity, but the failure of the reform element, when it becomes satiated with its prestige when it is fawned upon by what is know as the establishment. When the Wall fell in Berlin in November of 1989. The Appratchiks simply renamed the Communistic Party, to such things as the Social Democratic Party. Throughout the former Soviet Empire the names have changed, but the same Appratchks rule. In Maryland during the second year of the Rebellion against the King, the freeholders who sat in the General Assembly of the Proprietor, now sat int the General Assembly Convened under the Council of Safety. The continuity of the statutes was ensured. The funding of the Estate of the Calverts now became the funding of the State. Now, the historical wave rolls through the Reform Party. Jessie Ventura, the first Governor of the Reform Party, rolled in with a roar to reform the politics. What changes has he made? As of this date, the one party state still controls the budget. The one party state still controls its legislative tribunals. The peoples labor continues to underwrite the Social Democracy. It appears that reform reflects not change in public policy, but only in the party that controls the social democracy. The only way any one polity can effectuate change in America today, is to strike at the heart of the Social Democracy, and reclaim the Republic. To do otherwise, will only continue the same temporary programs of emergency rule that has been in place since on or about April of 1861.

Re: [CTRL] Major Solar Storm (Art Bell tonight)
-Caveat Lector- All this talk of CME's hitting earth in the past few days and nothing... Does anyone have any reports of these things actually hitting causing disturbences? Jamie THE SUN If you have been with us for any length of time, you know Stan and I don't get overly excited, but it's pretty hard to "maintain" when your hair is standing on end! We are hoping to arrange program time on Art Bell or Jeff Rense, or both, but this can't wait. You know how we talked last message about the sun having increased its magnetic field by 40% since 1964 and DOUBLED since 1901 and feel it has permanently changed our weather? Today's sun picture shows some of the largest potential for CME's we've seen. In past newsletters we discussed that when S-shaped filaments from a sunspot reconnects ACROSS THE SUN'S EQUATOR to another sunspot, there is a good chance of a CME. Today, the sun shows at least 6, possibly 7 of these reconnected filaments! If you want to look for yourself, go to it via the blinking Geophysics News on our home page and click on the blinking Disaster Warnings, or go directly there from our home page by clicking "Special Solar Event Alert: Go See!" Currently these spots are still about 4 days from being "earth-side", so we don't know yet where these probable CME's will be pointing. If they are pointing AT us, it may not be a happy day. Calculating their arrival time of 4 days, it could be as long as 8 days before protons from this event hit us. We are in the red zone which indicates a 60-100% chance of both CME's and M and X class flares within the next 48 hours. http://www.dxlc.com/solar/ Also from Jan's solar report: There was a CME on the 26th and "as the origin of the flare was right at the central meridian, any CME associated with it would have a very high probability of impacting the earth. The impact time could be sometime from late on June 28 to noon on June 29." Further, for today, the sunspot number is 310! This count is extremely high! At the VERY PEAK of Solar Cycle 19, there were five days of sunspots ranging from 316 - 355 during December 22-26, 1957. Also, October 28-30, 1957, the spot count was 317-334. Bear in mind, Solar Cycle 19 was The Worst solar cycle ever and we are not yet at the peak of Solar Cycle 23. Peak is currently expected Jan.-March 2000. We think this cycle will be a short and violent one. EL DIABLO Good grief, where do we start... Stan has been monitoring El Diablo so named as it is not an El Nino or a La Nina, yet exhibits characteristics of both. From our records, Stan kept an OTIS map from May 1996 just when things were getting ready for El Nino. Comparing that map, where the heating patterns were pretty well distributed both above and below the equator, ALL the heating now is shoved UP into the Northern Hemisphere. Comparing the Northern Hemisphere in 1996 to now, it is 85% HOTTER! Stan made a map showing the increases in heating so you can see for yourself what we are up against. This will be a bear cat well into next year. Rather than rechew the explanation Stan has written for you, here are the highlights, but be sure to read the rest of the data. It is very enlightening. Freaky, but enlightening: "All this data indicates the following conditions for the next 12 months in varying degrees: 1) Drought or unusually dry conditions: Japan, Alaska, most of the USA (some wet weather may occur in Nevada and south of there; and also, some summer storms may hit Florida coast and slightly north of there), most of Canada, Iceland, Europe, western Russia, Scandinavia, Central and southern Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Fiji, 85% of Africa, southern Greenland. 2) Ice melting with some flooding: Due to the increases in the thermal anomaly in the northerly latitudes, I suspect we will see increased polar ice melting in Siberia, Greenland and in northern Canada and Alaska. 3) Super rain-bearing storms in northern Australia (especially from Darwin to Gulf of Carpentaria), Southern California, Washington and Oregon, western Canada, India and Bangladesh. I suspect the NW USA, India and western Canada will get the worst storms." One last thing we must caution you about. Kris from Kansas sent us a prophecy by a Dr. Deagle heard on the Prophecy Club. Without repeating the whole thing, the important point is this. Many people will have put aside food and water in preparation for Y2K. Some folks will need their supplies and be _very glad_ for it, others will have an easier time of it, but we don't know for whom which situation it will be. The ones who did not experience problems are predicted to sell off their stored foods and supplies in disgust for only $.11 - $.13 on the dollar. Wise people waiting in the wings will happily snap up these bargains seeing their value. Other

-Caveat Lector- Closure to diversity is foolishness You will never reform a system that you refuse to comprehend. Censorship is your choice. Lenin censored opinion, Stalin murdered opinion as did Mao. Fidel follows the concept that a people silenced are a people happy. Apparently the current administration in Washington censors opinion that it cannot manipulate, or spin. Just what did you comprehend as "unworthy" of the reflector? Constructive criticism opens the debate for the growth of ideas and understanding. Those who do not understand will never be able to stand tall upon their own. In order to offer change, an understanding, and willingness to open debate is a necessity. Otherwise, the reform is nothing but pallidum for the masses, as the reformer continues the same ole Social Destruction populated by a more caring polity.

In Maryland during the second year of the Rebellion against the King, the freeholders who sat in the General Assembly of the Proprietor, now sat int the General Assembly Convened under the Council of Safety. The continuity of the statutes was ensured. The funding of the Estate of the Calverts now became the funding of the State. Now, the historical wave rolls through the Reform Party. Jessie Ventura, the first Governor of the Reform Party, rolled in with a roar to reform the politics. What changes has he made? As of this date, the one party state still controls the budget. The one party state still controls its legislative tribunals. The peoples labor continues to underwrite the Social Democracy. It appears that reform reflects not change in public policy, but only in the party that controls the social democracy. The only way any one polity can effectuate change in America today, is to strike at the heart of the Social Democracy, and reclaim the Republic. To do otherwise, will only continue the same temporary programs of emergency rule that has been in place since on or about April of 1861.

Re: [CTRL] Eclipse produced gravitational anomalies
-Caveat Lector- At 11:15 AM 6-29-1999 -0700, Jerry quoted: The idea that some unexplained aspect of gravity is at work seems nonsensical when you consider that it would seem to imply planets spinning out of their orbits over very long time scales (among other things). (snip) The accelerations are so persistent that they could be pointing to some relevant physics that's been overlooked in trying to explain the motions of bodies in the universe. ...for some wide-ranging, thought provoking, and very overlooked physics, see: THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF COMETS AND THE EVOLUTION OF CELESTIAL BODIES by J.M. MC CANNEY http://www.millenngroup.com/repository/cometary/ori1.html (six pages total) a few excerpts: "Part III will introduce the induced electric dipole red-shift concept(60) and show how it accounts for the anomalous red-shift data that currently are under controversy in the astronomical community. It will also discuss a theory for geomagnetic field formation with the dynamo powered by a planet spinning inside a slightly charged moon, and show a correlation between magnetic field reversals and the external effects of a highly charged comet passing close to the planet. It will further discuss biological evolution and celestial catastrophism, and the collective fear of Velikovsky that has permeated the scientific community for the past 35 years." "Another conclusion is that quasars are not superluminous objects at the edge of the universe, but are much closer than proposed by the use of the Hubble constant. With the previous paper's results,(6) it is apparent that quasars are the initial formative stages of normal galaxies (see footnote No. 39 of Part 1, KRONOS IX:1)." "This implies that the bizarre theoretical extrapolations of General Relativity and the Big Bang Theory, such as "black holes", nonEuclidean space, and the "expanding universe" are no more than elements of some scientists' imaginations. Einstein himself was openly critical of General Relativity as "it did not include the total field (electric and magnetic)".(7) It is apparent that this was related to his interest in Velikovsky's work, although neither lived long enough to resolve the issue." .

[CTRL] Fwd(2): Y2K: more nuclear news -- don't worry be happy
-Caveat Lector- Gary North's Y2K Links and Forums Summary and Comments (feel free to mail this page) Category: Power_Grid Date: 1999-06-29 06:44:51 Subject: Good News from Nuclear Industry's PR Departments Link: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/tc/story.html?s=v/nm/19990628/tc/utilit ies_nuclear_2.html Comment: This report is PR-based. It says that everything will be just fine next week when the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issues its y2k report, excepyt for 10% of the plants, which have not been identified. Will the NRC shut them down? Is the Pope Jewish? They knew that the plants are compliant, and will therefore pass the trests next September when the plants can go off-line for testing without raising rates, i.e., without cutting into company profits. This is compliance based on faith. It's true: these plants need power to shut down safely. So, they have bought diesel generators. But they need five months of power to shut down safely: to cool the water. Spent fuel storage When removed from a reactor, a fuel bundle will be emitting both radiation, primarily from the fission fragments, and heat. Spent fuel is unloaded into a storage facility immediately adjacent to the reactor to allow the radiation levels and the quantity of heat being released to decrease. These facilities are large pools of water; the water acts as both a shield against the radiation and an absorber of the heat released. Spent fuel is generally held in such pools for a minimum of about five months. No problem. They'll just buy it from the grid. It's all planned for. Stop worrying. This is a Reuters story on YAHOO! (June 27). * * * * * * * * * * * The nuclear power industry, aiming to allay public fears of power outages and radiation leaks, has stepped up efforts to make sure plants are not vulnerable to the year 2000 computer bug. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will release next week a report on exactly how ready each of the nation's 103 nuclear power reactors are for the millennium date change. Nuclear reactors account for about 20 percent of all U.S. power generation. . . . ''All of our plant shutdown systems are analog,'' said Robert Haverkamp, manager of the Y2K project at Southern California Edison Co.'s (AMEX:SCEq - news) San Onofre nuclear power plant in San Clemente, Calif. Nevertheless, Edison has, over the past 18 months, meticulously tracked down and remedied all plant systems determined to be vulnerable to the date change, he said. `''will be reporting full readiness to the NRC on June 30,'' Haverkamp said. But operations-related systems at about 10 of the 103 reactors are not expected to get a clean bill of health until later this year, Beedle said. The trade group did not identify which plants are not yet up to snuff, but emphasized that all are set to undergo maintenance work after power demand has peaked for the summer. . . . Like most nuclear reactors, the two operating units at San Onofre are connected to the regional electricity grid, which brings in the necessary power for cooling the plant and preventing any threat of meltdown. As part of everyday operations, critical systems at nuclear plants are designed with ''fail safe'' conditions, which automatically shut the plant down if they are not met. ''Even if our worst fears come true and the grid goes down at midnight on December 31 and we have a station blackout, the reactor shuts down safely and we can restart after the clock changes,'' Beedle said. The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), which oversees delivery of electricity in the United States and Canada, said in March the industry had completed more than 75 percent of the required testing and remediation of its systems and nearly all were expected to be up to speed by June 30. Fewer than 3 percent of all components failed Y2K testing, with most errors occurring in systems, such as schedule logs, that would not cause the lights to go out, NERC said. As a back up, the NRC requires every nuclear reactor to have on site at least two diesel-powered generators to provide emergency power in case of a failure in the grid connection. If, for some random reason, those units were also to fail, nuclear operators have established backup contingencies. Edison, for example, has determined two transmission paths, one from San Diego and one from Hoover Dam in Arizona, that could quickly supply the plant with emergency power. Officials said special attention has been paid to making sure that bureaucratic conditions for plant operations will be met at the time of the date change. . . .

"People have made investments by promoting their site and people start to link to them. They're changing the rules in midstream," Love said. Legal experts say that it's likely Yahoo will change its mind. "I bet that once it comes to light, they'll modify it. They can't get away with it. They'd have people leaving in droves," said David Post, a law professor at George Mason University who teaches intellectual property law. "My prediction is that Yahoo will say, 'That's not what we intended. We don't really want to do all these things with their content. We had it as an insurance policy,'" Post said. Some scholarly journals have standardized similar contracts that are even more restrictive: They require authors to give up all rights to the publication. But as authors began to want to post their writings on their Web sites, journals have started to become more flexible. Yahoo will let users keep their existing GeoCities pages under the old contract, but customers cannot modify their site until they agree to the revised terms of service. Some other Web page-hosting services have similar contracts. Tripod, which is owned by the parent company of Wired News, requires its users to grant it "a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide, unrestricted license to use, copy, modify, transmit, distribute, and publicly perform or display the submitted Member Web Page." Yahoo is becoming deceitful, underhanded, and greedy. This should be a wake up call for people not to deal with them or GeoCities. I pity those poor people with large investments of time, effort, and energy in their websites located at GeoCities. They have to move out and relocate in a hurry! How mean, rotten, despicable, and unpleasant of Yahoo. http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a377a5c9a06db.htm DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Nothing's happening...
Time to relax -- a CME takes 3 or 4 days to reach Earth,
if it's actually headed directly this way. Light photons
take only 8 minutes to reach Earth, but a CME is a plasma
cloud of highly charged ions which travels much slower.
No telling how strong it will be. If it affects the SOHO
or Cassini spacecraft on the way, we'll have a warning
which way the blast is pointed.
Refer to the original post for reports of past CMEs, and
the range of possible effects here on Earth. As Stan said
last night (on with Art Bell), if a really big CME were to
be pointed straight at Earth, it would cook the fish in the
ocean -- and burn up all the crops in the fields -- on the
near side of the planet. Another report claimed its
total energy 'could' boil the Medeterranean Sea entirely
dry in 60 seconds (if focused only in that one location).
Earth would be 'fogged in' for years, if something similar
were to happen.
In March 1989, almost the entire electrical grid supplying
the province of Quebec collapsed - in less than 2 minutes -
due to powerful electrical currents that were induced into
Hydro Quebecs electrical power lines during one of the
strongest geomagnetic storms on record.
Not to worry -- but I'd stay out of airplanes for the next
few days. If I had a metal safe, I'd think about putting
my computer (electronics, etc.) inside, out of harm's way.
Now might be a good time to have a back-up electrical

nothing at all may happen (this time), who knows ?

[CTRL] INSIDE THE GUN CONTROL BILL
-Caveat Lector- INSIDE THE GUN CONTROL BILL Political analysts warn that there are a number of freedom- robbing elements lurking -- but not publicized -- in the juvenile crime, or gun control, bill. Both houses of Congress have passed separate versions of the bill, with the differences to be worked out in a conference committee. New York University Law School's Dave Kopel has been writing and speaking out on some of the legislation's hidden provisions. o The federal government would be allowed to seize the property of a person who is convicted of any federal felony -- and this forfeiture rule applies to state felonies as well. o The federal government could also seize the property of a person who commits a misdemeanor under state law if physical harm results from that misdemeanor. o Police would be allowed to monitor private pager communications without a warrant. o The bill would void a federal law that restricts the government from compiling a list of gun owners. It also imposes a mandatory one-year sentence for violating a federal gun law which says that adults can't give handguns to minors. In a report for the Independence Institute, Kopel and James Winchester pointed out that a father who gives a family heirloom in a locked case to his son on the boy's 17th birthday would have to spend a mandatory year in prison.

Stolen TB Vial Poses No Immediate Peril -- Bacteria responsible for outbreak in Kentucky by Sabin Russell San Francisco Chronicle, June 30, 1999 A vial of tuberculosis germs stolen from a San Francisco hotel room Monday contained a strain of the bacteria responsible for a 1995 outbreak of TB in rural Kentucky that scientists once feared was especially dangerous. Further study, however, suggests that the Kentucky strain -- dubbed CDC1551 -- is no more virulent than other varieties, but has unique qualities that may help researchers develop a better vaccine against tuberculosis. Scientific interest in the unusual strain has been intense, and a paper discussing new findings will be delivered today at the National Institutes of Health-sponsored TB conference at the Cathedral Hill Hotel, where the burglary took place. City health officials yesterday continued to stress that the only immediate danger posed by the stolen vial is to the thieves if they were to open it. "I'm not worried,"' said Dr. Masae Kawamura, director of TB control for the San Francisco Department of Public Health. San Francisco police have no leads in their investigation of the burglary of a University of California at San Diego researcher's hotel room. Taken from her closet was a black Eddie Bauer suitcase containing clothing, jewelry and an 8-inch aluminium tube, rolled in plastic bubblewrap and clearly marked "Biohazard." Police said there were no signs of a break-in. The material had been hand-delivered to the unidentified scientist earlier by Sabine Ehrt, a post-doctoral researcher at UC Berkeley. Transport of hazardous microbes is surprisingly routine among laboratories. Typically, the vials are sent by mail or UPS. Until recently, CDC1551 had a reputation as a particularly scary form of tuberculosis. It was studied intensely after a frightening outbreak in Clinton County, Ky., and neighboring Picket County, Tenn. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that just three patients with the suspect strain were responsible for exposing 311 others through casual contact, in a rural environment not known for harboring the disease. Epidemiologists concluded that 72 percent of 429 people known to have had contact with the three between 1994 and 1996 tested positive on a TB skin test, an almost unheard of infection rate. Additional research showed that the bacteria grew in mouse lungs at 10 times the rate of other laboratory TB strains. But studies since have downplayed the danger. "It turned out that the theory this strain was particularly virulent was probably wrong,"' said UC San Francisco TB expert Dr. Philip Hopewell. A study being presented at the San Francisco conference today by Rockefeller University researcher Claudia Manca found that the Kentucky strain was not more contagious or severe, but prompted a more vigorous immune response in infected mice. That tendency to stir up the immune system explains why so many Kentucky residents tested positive: the TB test actually gauges immune reaction, not active infection. It is also the type of response researchers like to see in a vaccine. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] Remember When--? (1994)
-Caveat Lector- PROJECT CENSORED's Top Ten Censored Stories of 1994 Powerful Group of Ultra-Conservatives Has Secret Plans for Your Future Observers of the nation's political scene, who wonder why the United States took a sharp right turn in 1994, should know about the Council for National Policy (CNP). In May 1981, under a tent in the backyard of political strategist Richard Viguerie's suburban Virginia home, 160 new-right political leaders celebrated their political fortunes and the election of President Ronald Reagan the previous November. This elite group of administration officials, congressmen, industrialists, and conservative Christians -- including Interior Secretary James Watt, Office of Management and Budget Director David Stockman, Phyllis Schlafly, Joseph Coors, Sen. John East (R-NC), Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Paul Weyrich, founding president of the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank -- launched a political federation to secretly coordinate their own political agenda. Weyrich, reportedly the single most important person of CNP, once proposed that the Republicans include a plank in their 1988 platform that AIDS be controlled by "reintroducing and enforcing anti-sodomy laws." And CNP's R.J. Rushdoony, a leader of the Christian Reconstruction movement, argues that right-thinking Christians should take "dominion" over the United States and do away with the "heresy" that is democracy. After the public inauguration of the group, the CNP went underground. As investigative journalist Joel Bleifuss notes, "we do not know much about the CNP's actions or agenda," but we do know that the radical right is on the ascendant within the Republican Party and has taken over state GOP organizations in Texas, California, Minnesota, Hawaii, Iowa, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, and Virginia. Russ Bellant, author of "The Coors Connection," said the meetings of this little-known organization are often a spring- board for radical-right campaigns and long-term planning. "But these efforts will seldom be traced to the CNP." The group meets quarterly behind closed doors and is so secretive that the group's Washington office will neither confirm nor deny where, or even if, the group meets. While the roster of the 500 members of the organization is confidential, it is known to include Jerry Falwell, of the Liberty Alliance; Oliver North, CNP executive committee member; Sen. Don Nickles (R-OK); Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS); Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC); Rep. Bob Dornan (R-CA); Brent Bozell III, of the Media Research Center; [World Anti-Communist League and] Iran-contra figure Gen. John Singlaub; Richard Shoff, former leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana; Republican pollster Richard Wirthlin; Robert Weiner, head of Maranatha, a Christian cult; Howard Phillips of the Conservative Caucus; Linda Bean Folkers of the L.L. Bean Co.; televangelist John Ankerberg; Bob Jones III, president of the Bob Jones University; and former attorney general Edwin Meese, CNP president in 1994. To emphasize the secret nature of their meetings, CNP Executive Director Morton C. Blackwell wrote a memorandum to members attending a meeting in St. Louis in 1993 instructing them that all remarks made at the conference were to be strictly private. "The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs, before or after a meeting." And, with the exception of the alternative press, the Council for National Policy has managed to escape the attention of the media. SOURCE: IN THESE TIMES, 8/8/94, "Right-Wing Confidential" by Joel Bleifuss Secret Pentagon Plan to Subsidize Defense Contractor Mergers SOURCE: NEWSDAY, 7/28/94, "Flak for Defense Merger" by Patrick J. Sloyan. The Pentagon is secretly funneling taxpayer dollars to giant military contractors to help them grow even larger. This extraordinary Pentagon ploy to pay defense contractors billions of dollars to underwrite expenses connected with acquisitions and mergers was approved without any announcement in 1993; it was not discovered until July 1994. According to Deputy Defense Secretary John Deutch, the unprecedented payment plan will save taxpayers money. Deutch said the mergers would help reduce overhead charges by defense contractors as the industry becomes smaller. Members of the House Armed Services Investigations Subcommittee rejected Deutch's explanation saying the policy was a potential windfall for defense contractors and an incentive for hostile corporate takeovers ... with taxpayers picking up the bill. David Cooper, of the General Accounting Office, said that while no specific savings could be seen, the new policy could involve "several billions of dollars" in payments to defense contractors for postmerger restructuring costs that have yet to be defined. Norman Augustine, chairman of Martin Marietta, a giant billion-dollar defense contractor, supported the plan,

[CTRL] Fw: Artfully Woven Web of Deceit
-Caveat Lector- June 27, 1999 Washington Times Artfully Woven Web of Deceit By Jack Kemp Official Washington and the sleepy "establishment" media are agog over President Clinton's "great victory" in the Balkans. Even the president's critics grant him a stupendous foreign policy success. "Victory," screams the editorial headline of the Weekly Standard, and the editorialist goes on to proclaim, "Slobodan Milosevic's capitulation to U.S. and NATO demands represents a triumph for...President Clinton, and for the small but stalwart group of Republicans...who supported the war from beginning to end." The National Review's senior editor Peter Rodman said on C-Span's "Washington Journal" that it would be "churlish" of Bill Clinton's critics now to criticize the Clinton/ NATO policy in Kosovo after events have proved it right. "Milosevic's capitulation to NATO demands?" " NATO proved right?" My goodness, what delusions are emanating from inside the Washington Beltway; what fabrications are being perpetrated on the American people. The truth of this war is the exact opposite of the establishment's portrayal. It was an unnecessary, and in my opinion illegal and unconstitutional, war from the beginning. It failed on every score to achieve the goals articulated to justify it, exacerbated the very problems it sought to remedy and created new problems that will plague America and the Balkans for years to come. It was, in short, a debacle, an "international Waco," which no amount of "spinning" by NATO and the media can erase. We could have had the same, or perhaps even a better deal at Rambouillet if we had been willing to, in Winston Churchill's words, "jaw jaw instead of war war!" President Clinton, spurred on by U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in particular, led NATO to start an unprovoked and unjustified war out of pique because the Yugoslavian government, as would any other sovereign nation, refused to consent to two provisions of the Rambouillet proposal that were insisted on by the Atlantic Alliance: (1) that Belgrade allow a foreign military alliance ( NATO) to occupy every square inch of its sovereign territory, billet its forces wherever it desired and receive immunity before the fact against "any claims of any sort" that might arise out of alliance activities (including criminal acts by NATO personnel); and (2) that Belgrade concede to a referendum after three years that would almost certainly have guaranteed independence for Kosovo and thus wrench it out of the Yugoslav Federation. Far from capitulating to these NATO demands, which constituted an unambiguous assault on Yugoslavian sovereignty, Belgrade withstood 79 days of brutal bombing, while the Milosevic government ruthlessly exploited the opportunity to engage in killing and brutality by pillaging and conducting wholesale displacement and deportation of Kosovar Albanians, only a fraction of whom are ever likely to return to their homes. Far from stopping a humanitarian disaster, the NATO bombing provoked one. The Yugoslavian Parliament finally agreed to withdraw most of its troops from Kosovo only after NATO agreed to a peace accord that explicitly reaffirms Yugoslavian sovereignty and conspicuously omits both of the two unacceptable demands from Rambouillet. Moreover, unlike Rambouillet, this accord will be adopted and implemented under the auspices of the United Nations. The international peacekeeping force called for in the agreement, while comprising troops from NATO countries, will be deployed in Kosovo only, under the auspices of the United Nations, and its actions will be authorized and limited by the U.N. And NATO has agreed wisely to disarm the Kosovo Liberation Army. NATO also claims at least to have salvaged its "credibility" by demonstrating the alliance will carry out even the most imprudently made threats when another sovereign nation refuses to knuckle under to its demands. But such a victory is dubious. The war NATO started in Kosovo -- the first offensive action in its history -- may have harmed the alliance's credibility far more than it helped. What NATO officials perceive as preserving its credibility and demonstrating its resolve, much of the rest of the world sees as bully tactics, leading them to ask whether America one day will, in the words of the New York Times' Abe Rosenthal, "fly over their lands to bomb them into submission for not carrying out our orders." As he went on to say, we should use our brains first and bombs last instead of the other way around. An objective observer, I think, must conclude that, on paper at least, Mr. Milosevic has achieved, albeit at a very high price, what he sought at Rambouillet, while NATO, far from achieving a great triumph, has suffered an ignominious defeat, causing millions of innocent civilians great suffering in the process. The danger now is that NATO may concede Kosovo to an armed and

-Caveat Lector- From the BBC Tuesday, June 29, 1999 Published at 18:02 GMT 19:02 UK Picture Picture Sci/Tech Picture New virus spills your beans Picture Virus threatens document security Picture A new strain of computer virus could distribute your highly confidential documents all over the Internet. Anti-virus developers are warning that they cannot develop an antidote until the virus appears. Far from destroying vital files, the virus will make sure everyone can see them. The new virus is expected to be a variant of either Melissa or the Explore.Zip worm, both of which have cost businesses millions in recent weeks. Both Melissa and the Explore.Zip worm rely on people opening email attachments. Once into the computer the virus sends a message to everyone in the victim's in-box and then destroys every file written in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint, among others. New virus on the block One variant has already appeared. PrettyPark replicates itself by sending copies to everyone in the victim's address book. It waits silently until the victim is on the Internet, then sends lists of the victim's user names, password files and address lists to Internet Relay Chat channels. Anti-virus developers are expecting the next step to be a virus which roots around in your files and then posts your documents across the Internet. "The virus wouldn't be able to tell which of your documents are secret. It might just post your shopping list, or it could be a highly sensitive company document. "What's more, it would appear as if you sent it," says Graham Cluley of Sophos Anti-Virus. Several anti-virus makers already have an answer to PrettyPark. But they cannot build a defence against future variants until they encounter them. Java and ActiveX - next infection target It is predicted that the next generation of viral infections will hit small Webpage programmes called applets, written in Java and ActiveX. A recent survey revealed that more than half of medium-sized organisations using an intranet had no security policy in place to respond to the threat of attacks on Java applets. Recent estimates indicate that Melissa, Explore.Zip and other malicious attacks have cost US business $7.6bn this year alone. The viruses cannot infect Macintosh or Unix systems.

Re: [CTRL] Biohazard bacteria stolen
-Caveat Lector- But hey, if you WANTED to spread contagion in SF, it'd be a lot easier just to spray your anthrax aerosol [or whatever] onto the crowds at Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square. Or in a passenger terminal at SFO [the airport], making sure that your little "gift" was delivered far and wide. In 1950 two USN minesweapers teamed up and down a couple miles outside the Gate (ie. close enough to see from my roof) spraying serratia into the air. This "simulated bio-war agent" put eleven people in the hospital and killed one. It infected every single resident of the Bay Area clear out to Walnut Creek. Even today incidence of serratia is many times the national average. The story is related in detail by Jeremy Paxon and Robert Harris in their seminal book A Higher Form of Killing, ISBN 0-8090-1507-2, which I highly recommend to any of you fools out there who still believe the government has your best interest at heart. If Paxman and Harris whet your appetite you should then check out Peace or Pestilence: Biological Warfare and How to Avoid it by Theodor Rosebury, Whittlesey House, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1949. It's out of print and hard to find but well worth the effort. Rosebury headed up the aerosol division of America's CBW reearch center at Ft Detrick., Md. during WWII. Compare what he says about brucellosis spray techniques with what Jon Rappaport says in AIDS, Inc. about immune system breakdown caused by inhaled brucellosis mimicing AIDS. Then read Acid Dreams:The CIA, LSD the Sixties Rebellion by Martin Lee and Bruce Schlain (ISBN 0-8021-3062-3). Pay particular attention to the account of government agent George White's best known op. He's the guy who set up the whorehouse in North Beach in the fifties, dosed the johns, and filmed their antics through a big two-way mirror. Then consider the mirrored sex clubs that sprang up a few years later and about a mile away south of Market. Then think about their air conditioning systems. Then think about all the guys who hung out there who suddenly died from immune disfunction. Get back to us with your conclusions. FWIW, survivalist Kurt Saxon, author of Poor Man's James Bond Vol. I-IV and The Survivor Vol. I-II, says Legionaire's Disease was ricin powder in the air conditioning. He also distributes a video showing how to make your own ricin in the basement. And let's not forget sub bomb grade but still highly radioactive dust, both on the black market and in the atmosphere.

-Caveat Lector- From federal.com/jun28-99/s4awk.html And Now, The Witch-hunt Editorial - --- By MARVIN LEE - --- The past three years have seen revelations of Chinese contributions to President Clinton, transfer of U.S. military technology to the Chinese, obstruction of congressional investigations by Congressional Democrats, and efforts to diminish the issue by the mainstream media. Last week the final twist in the Chinese penetration of the U.S. security apparatus was emphasized: the witch-hunt by the Clinton administration for anti-communist and anti-PLA employees within the administration. A hearing of the Burton Committee last week focused on how these anti-communists and anti-PLA national security officials were in a position to thwart Chinese espionage and technology acquisition and hence had to be stopped by the Clinton administration: Jonathan D. Fox, an attorney at the Defense Special Weapons Agency, was forced to rewrite a 1997 memorandum to change his conclusion that China was a nuclear arms "proliferator" to one in which China was deemed a "nonproliferator." Edward J. McCallum of the DOE's Office of Safeguards and Security testified that he was forced out of his job two months ago in retaliation for his repeated warnings that security was failing at the nation's nuclear weapons laboratories. F. Michael Maloof of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency testified that he has been "isolated, ignored and subject to political retribution" for refusing to temper his belief that the Chinese military poses a significant security threat to the United States. Peter M. Leitner of the Defense Technology Security Administration, testified that he has been subjected to "one adverse harassing act after another" since he appeared last summer before the Cox Committee to tell the truth. These were the brave individuals who went public despite the threats and intimidation. What about all those individuals who were successfully silenced by the Clinton administration? We will not hear from them until the Clinton administration is out of power and unable to do them any more harm. - --- Published in the Jun. 28, 1999 issue of The Washington Weekly.

U.S. reassures Turkey on pipeline Wednesday, 30 June 1999 0:31 (GMT) (UPI Focus) U.S. reassures Turkey on pipeline By MARTIN SIEFF UPI National Security Affairs Editor WASHINGTON, June 29 (UPI) - U.S. policymakers have moved to reassure the Turkish government they still are committed to construction of a pipeline from Baku in Azerbaijan across Turkey to the Mediterranean Sea. Earlier this month, the Clinton administration authorized a feasibility study by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency on the possibility of building an oil pipeline across the Balkans from the port of Burgos in Bulgaria across Macedonia and Albania to the Mediterranean. Reports of this study provoked a wave of concern in Turkey that such a trans-Balkans pipeline might mean the United States was turning its back on the proposed pipeline from Baku to Ceyhan in southeast Turkey on the Mediterranean. But U.S. government officials told UPI today that while the trans- Balkans pipeline or some other additional pipeline was likely to be built, Washington remained firmly committed to the Baku-Ceyhan project to pump oil from southern Caspian oil fields controlled by Azerbaijan. U.S. officials said the trans-Balkan pipeline route will be studied as a way to transport oil pumped along a route from other Caspian Sea oil fields controlled by Kazakhstan to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk by the proposed Caspian Pipeline Consortium pipeline. Chevron announced in April that it had begun work on a marine terminal for the proposed CPC pipeline from the Kazakhstan-controlled Tengiz oil fields in the Caspian to Novorossiysk. This pipeline is scheduled to be completed by mid-2001 and to have an initial capability of 560,000 barrels per day, with a peak capacity of 1.5 million barrels per day. Oil tankers would then transport the oil from Novorossiysk across the Black Sea. But the Russians and Western oil companies involved in the project are looking for ways to pipe the oil to the West without having to ship it through the narrow Turkish-controlled Bosporus strait, where possible oil spills could cause serious environmental hazards. Russia has pushed strongly for the building of this pipeline as it will give Russia a lucrative share in transporting the Caspian oil and a key strategic position controlling its flow. But the Turks

In your press conference the other day, I noticed that you expressed puzzlement that it took so long for the bombing campaign to bring Slobodan Milosevic to his knees. Your Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, told you it would take three days max and it turned out to be 78. If you really are puzzled, you should ask around, and you will find that Ms. Albright is incompetent at what she does over there in Foggy Bottom. She may be better suited to driving the tank around that Michael Dukakis used in his 1988 campaign. I dont have 20-20 foresight, Mr. President, but even I could see from a distance two years ago that the Lady Diplomat was one of the "Ten Most Dangerous People in the World." Hey, Milosevic did not even make the list. I told my friend, and yours, Jack Kemp, back then that this lady was going to cause a lot of problems for the world, but he said maybe we should give her a chance. Jack is a compassionate conservative. Anyway, now that the dust has settled, several thousand people are dead or maimed, and at least $100 billion in real property has been turned to ash. (Although I see in Mondays NYTimes that the Serbs played that old Russian trick on our NATO commanders, setting out cardboard trucks and tanks for them to blow up from 10,000 feet. Each missile expended cost at least, what, $2 million? And the Serbs still have all their real stuff in caves and places even the Nazis could not find.) Ask around, Mr. President, and you will begin to realize Ms. Albright is not going to get the Nobel Peace Prize for her diplomatic tour de force at Rambouillet. If I were Jack, I would not stop at calling for her resignation, as he does in the accompanying op-ed in the Sunday Washington Times. Alas, Jack is kinder and gentler than I am, at least lately. I also would have called for the resignation of your Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, who in fact should be named the Poet Laureate of the Library of Congress. His pay also should be docked until he pays for all those missiles he dropped on all those cardboard tanks, when he was not dropping bombs on convoys of Kosovo civilians who were trying to get out of his way. By the way, you might not have had to read Jacks op-ed here, reprinted from the Washington Times. But when he sent it first to the NYTimes, which he knows you read without fail, In their infinite wisdom on what you should read and not read, the Times editors rejected it without comment after sniffing it for a week.

IN THE ACLU NEWSROOM **The Latest News Can Always Be Found At:** http://www.aclu.org/news/pressind.html * Ford Foundation Gives $7 Million to ACLU Endowment Campaign * ACLU Savors Supreme Court Victories, but Sees 'Uncertain' Future for Civil Liberties * Campaign to Amend Constitution Loses Ground Despite Multi-Million Dollar Campaign * ACLU Cautions Senate to Protect Both Civil Rights and Religious Liberty * Employment Protection Bill Reintroduced; Measure would Protect Gays in the Workplace * ACLU Challenges Michigan Cyber-Censorship Law, Citing Commerce Clause and Free Speech Rights * List of other recent ACLU Press Releases - Ford Foundation Gives $7 Million to ACLU Endowment Campaign FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, June 28, 1999 NEW YORK--In a display of substantial confidence in and dedication to key areas of the American Civil Liberties Union's program, the Ford Foundation has contributed $7 million to its endowment fund, the Trust for the Bill of Rights, the largest gift the ACLU has received to date. The $7 million from the Foundation, together with other significant commitments, has enabled the ACLU to surpass its initial goal of raising $25 million for its first ever endowment six months ahead of schedule. The Foundation said that the contribution is the second largest endowment gift it has given in the past decade and among the largest ever in its history of giving. "The Ford Foundation has long supported the ACLU's essential role in protecting individual rights and fighting discrimination," said Susan Berresford, the Foundation's President. "This gift will help ensure that future generations will continue to benefit from the ACLU's important work." As a litigant in virtually every important Supreme Court case involving civil liberties, the ACLU has been central to the development of democratic ideals in America. But the fight, according to Ira Glasser, Executive Director of the national ACLU, is far from over. "The ACLU has had no better partner and friend than the Ford Foundation," Glasser said. "The Trust for the Bill of Rights was created to allow us to continue our defense of the Bill of Rights, eradicate invidious discrimination and protect individual civil liberties into the next century. It is fitting that the largest single gift to this effort, and in fact the largest gift ever to the ACLU, should come from Ford." The gift will continue to support the ACLU's work on behalf of reproductive rights, voting rights and against discrimination based on race, gender, national origin or immigration status. Glasser noted that the endowment gift would not preclude the ACLU from applying for other grants from the Foundation in the future. In making its gift, the Ford Foundation has issued a challenge to the ACLU and its supporters to raise $2 for each $1 donated by the Foundation. With the fulfillment of this $14 million challenge and completion of a "second phase" campaign, the Trust will total more than $40 million. "This is an unprecedented challenge and opportunity for us," said Glasser. "When we first explored the possibility of building a $25 million endowment, we weren't even sure it could be done. Now the Ford Foundation has not only ensured that we will meet our goal, but is challenging us to raise our sights even higher." At the time the ACLU publicly launched its endowment campaign in May 1997, it had already raised more than $10 million towards its December 1999 goal of $25 million. The Ford Foundation, established in 1936, is a private, nonprofit institution that serves as a resource for innovative people and institutions worldwide. Its goals are to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement. Headquartered in New York City, the ACLU has 53 staffed affiliates in major cities, more than 300 chapters nationwide, and a legislative office in Washington, D.C. The ACLU Foundation (ACLUF) is the national tax-deductible, 501(c)(3) arm of the ACLU. Its combined annual budget is approximately $45 million. The bulk of the annual budget is raised by contributions from individual members -- 275,000 strong -- plus grants from foundations. Eighty percent of the budget directly supports litigation, legislation and public education programs. Fund raising costs average twelve percent of total expenses, and management and administration account for an additional 8 percent. This level of efficiency consistently ranks the ACLU and ACLUF among the nation's bestrewn charitable organizations, with high approval

"Reverse Speech" huckster and talk show host David Oates' sputtering
career has been utterly rewound by Art Bell. Oates swears in an
affidavit -- part of an abortive attempt to get a restraining order
against Art Bell -- that Art and his radio network, Jacor, used their
combined muscle to intimidate Talk Radio Networks into firing him. He
goes on to say that to top it all off, Art posted a link to a
disgusting nude photo of Oates, which was placed on the Net by a
former chatroom girlfriend.

[CTRL] Australian Net Censor Law Passes
Title: Australian Net Censor Law Passesby Stewart Taggart 8:15a.m.30.Jun.99.PDTCANBERRA, Australia -- The political leaders of this nation on Wednesday passed into law one of the world's most far-reaching online content censorship regimes. The rules -- which take effect 1 January, 2000 -- enable Australian government regulators to order domestic Internet service providers (ISPs) to take down indecent or offensive Web sites housed on their servers, and also require they block access to certain domestic or overseas-based content. See also: Australia's Brave New World "We're on fairly new ground here," said Stephen Nugent, special projects manager for the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA). "The codes of practice envisaged under this legislation are probably more detailed, and cover a greater range of matters, than I have seen in any other country." Known as the "Broadcasting Services Amendment (Online Services) Act", the measure was approved by the House of Representatives late Wednesday night, according to a staffer in the office ofCommunications Minister Richard Alston. The measure had passed the more contentious Australian Senate on 26 May. The new law will institute a movie-like rating system for Internet content. The ABA will order ISPs to take down content on their servers rated X (Sexually Explicit) or RC (Refused Classification) within 24 hours of being notified. For opponents of online content restrictions, the struggle will now shift to cyberspace itself. They believe the Internet simply will prove too large, too decentralized, and too fast-moving for regulators anywhere to successfully block access to any content for long. Among the defiant is Perth-based online entrepreneur Bernadette Taylor. Known to her Web site admirers as a "Virtual Girlfriend," she offers nude photos of herself and personalized email communication to paying members. To Taylor, passage of the law merely begins a hide-and-seek game she professes little doubt she'llwin. With a Web site housed in Dallas, Texas, she plans to stay one step ahead of the nation's blocking mechanisms for as long as the law lasts. "With a bit of effort the ABA could find (and block) me every day but they'd have to spend five to 10 minutes doing it," she says. "In the meantime, I'm compiling a mail list which has all the people that want notification of where I am." She believes her Australian-based users will encounter little ongoing difficulty accessing her site, either through using encryption software or through proxy servers that disguise the source of material. One such proxy server has been set up by South Australian Web site builder and e-commerce businessman Mike Russell. By visiting www.whois.com.au, Australian Web users will be able to access any site they want without disclosing where they're visiting. Since banning proxy servers isn't included in the legislation, Russell says there will be little Australian regulators can do. Among other defiant gestures, Russell is calling for a worldwide boycott by Web sites of visitors from "gov.au" domains -- recommending all such visitors be redirected by webmasters to the home page of Electronic Frontiers Australia, the online civil liberties group that spearheaded a failed effort to stop the law. In introducing the online content legislation, the center-right government of Prime Minister John Howard argued that some controls are needed to limit access by children to pornographic content on the Internet, as well as other material that could be deemed offensive. Passage of the law comes amid research showing Internet use is rising rapidly in Australia. Figures released Wednesday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed nearly 18 percent of Australia's households now have some form of Internet access -- a rise of nearly 50 percent in one year. Nearly 40 percent of Internet households in Australia now access the Internet on a daily basis, the researchers found. To Grant Bayley, a Sydney spokesman for 2600 Australia, an organization of technology enthusiasts, the fact that the law comes into force on 1 January, 2000 provides at least one indication that Australian lawmakers may not have been fully cognizant on all the issues involved. "January 1 is not going to be one of the best days in the world to implement this," he said, referring to the long-feared Year 2000 problem in which worldwide computers may start acting up due to the millennial date change. "There are going to be much bigger problems around," he said.

-Caveat Lector- WSWS : News Analysis : Europe : Russia The struggle for Caspian oil, the crisis in Russia and the breakup of the Commonwealth of Independent States By Patrick Richter 1 July 1999 Back to screen version As NATO troops occupy Kosovo and the media is busy justifying the bombing of Yugoslavia, new struggles are developing away from the front lines which could lead to much greater military conflagrations. Such conflicts are taking place on the territory of the former Soviet Union, the source of the world's largest untapped reserves of oil and gas and a region where Russian influence has declined dramatically. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 8, 1991, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was founded, consisting of Russia, White Russia and the Ukraine. On December 21 of the same year a further eight former Soviet republics joined the CISthe states of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenia and Uzbekistan. The Commonwealth was founded in Alma Ata, the former capital of Kazakhstan. In 1993 the Caucasus republic of Georgia also joined the union. Russian power was the cement which held the CIS together. However the economic, political and military weakening of Russia has brought into the open the centrifugal forces which had led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the first place and have marked the CIS from its very beginning. Two events have accelerated this process: the financial crisis in Russia of August 1998 and the political humiliation of Russia by NATO in the war against Yugoslavia. At the beginning of the 1990s Russia was able, with its powerful military apparatus, to exert its influence over various political conflicts taking place within the former Soviet republics. By stationing troops Russia was able to ensure a temporary status quo between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh; in Georgia it supported the Abkhazia separatist movement; in Tajikistan it maintained the weak pro-Moscow puppet government of Imomali Rokhmonov against the Islamic opposition (UTO); in Moldova it backed the Russian separatist Transnistria republic. More recently Moscow's military grip over these republics has weakened, while new conflicts have arisen and old ones have reemerged. This development is bound up with Russia's own decline and the fact that the Central Asian and Caucasus regions have developed relations in other directions. Overall internal trade between the CIS states has fallen by two-thirds since 1991. The percentage of foreign trade has declined from 78 percent in 1991 to 24 percent today. Trade of White Russia, the Ukraine, Moldova and Kazakhstan with Russia is down between 40 and 60 percent; between Russia and the Caucasus republics of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan trade has fallen by an average of 23 percent; between Russia and the rest of the Central Asian republics (Turkmenia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan) the decline on average is 13 percent. While the Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia are striving to develop close links with the European Union, the Central Asian republics and Azerbaijan aim to develop relations with Turkey, Iran and China. This process has intensified considerably since last year's financial crisis in Russia. Up to that point Russia, as the most stable of the CIS economies, was able to artificially maintain links to the republics by buying products which were uncompetitive on the world market and making available non-repayable credits. Since the August crisis, however, Russia has been transformed from a centre of gravitation to a source of economic tremors. The main concern of all its former partners has been to put sufficient distance between themselves and Russia, according to Yuri Shishkov, deputy chairman of the Institute for World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Science. All of the integration programmes within the framework of CIS are a thing of the past, he wrote in the weekly Obshaya Gazeta of May 13-19, 1999. The atmosphere between Russia and the partner countries has cooled considerably. Whereas a chorus of hope and optimism greeted the founding of the CIS, today it is regarded as a listless organisation, whose authority is not taken seriously by any of the member countries. Kyrgyzstan, for example, recently joined the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in open defiance of the customs regulations drawn up by five of the CIS member countries. Turkmenia, which was formerly only able to offer its gas to the world market via Russian pipelines and with a Russian subsidy, now delivers through Iran and is gradually breaking all its relations with Russia. Train connections and travel without a visa between Moscow and the Turkmenian capital, Ashkhabad, have been stopped. The most significant organisation to emerge as a challenger to

He now lives in Texas where he is a writer and a communications professional. His email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he has a Web page at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/3518/ Previous Powell columns - Collusion or stupidity By JOHN DAVID POWELL TMNS Correspondent June 29, 1999 "The U.S. government has never identified credible evidence of these drug-running charges." -- State Department spokesman James Rubin The KLA is no "choirboy circle." -- Secretary of Defense William Cohen One does not know whether to laugh at or to be afraid of Rubins comments about the Kosovo Liberation Army. Rubin told reporters on June 23 that news reports of drug money buying KLA weapons are not corroborated by American intelligence agencies. These are the same intelligence agencies, remember, that didnt know there was a building full of Chinese diplomats sitting in downtown Belgrade. Cohen knows the KLA. In early April, American officials and KLA leaders held secret talks about supplying the terrorists with heavy weapons and other support, according to the April 26, 1999, issue of U.S. News World Report. Cohen later told Republican senators the KLA was no "choirboy circle," according to the magazine. There is an outside chance U.S. intelligence agencies are not up to speed with the KLA. Writing in the May/June 1999 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine, former New York Times Balkans Bureau Chief Chris Hedges writes that American spies were busy tracking militant Islamist groups and Iranian agents in Bosnia and failed to see the KLAs rise. "Indeed, some diplomats argued as late as last year about whether the shadowy group really existed -- even as small armed bands roamed Drenica in central Kosovo," Hedges reports. Stories about the Balkan Connection have been around at least fourteen years. The Wall Street Journal reported September 9, 1985, on heroin trafficking "conducted by, among others, a loosely organized group of ethnic Albanians, centered in New York." U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency officials claimed the Balkan Connection moved as much as forty percent of the U.S. heroin supply, according to the WSJ. Jump nine years to November 1, 1994. The Guardian (UK) reported Europes police chiefs feared the Balkan Connection would strengthen Kosovo Albanian drug syndicates. "We have enormous problems with Kosovars and Albanians," said Bernard Soldini, deputy director of Lausannes anti-drug force. The Swiss were not alone, according to the paper. "Albania is now a priority for us," said Bernard Frahi with the United Nations drug control program. The Observatire Geopolitique Des Drogues, a Paris-based narcotics-monitoring group that does research for the European Commission, released a report in June 1994 that claimed Albanian groups in Kosovo were trading heroin for weapons for use in a brewing conflict. The report said a large influx of arms "is fueling geopolitical hopes and fears," and added Albanian leaders "are inherently in favour of an uprising in Kosovo." Exactly four years later -- June 9, 1998 -- Agence France-Presse reported a group of Kosovars smuggling arms back to their province were caught by Italian police in a country-wide anti-drug operation. "The Kosovar Albanian gang allegedly used drug money to buy the weapons in Italy, which were then sent to Kosovo where a three-month conflict is pitting Serbian forces against armed ethnic Albanians seeking independence," AFP reported. Milans Corriere della Sera reported on October 15, 1998, that the Albanian Mafia was helping the KLA, and quoted Italian crime fighters as saying they successfully neutralized a network of Albanian drug traffickers. Quoting an unnamed Special Operations Section source, the publication reported Milan was the site for talks between Kosovar leaders and Tirana-based Albanian gangs. Independence was not the only goal of the KLA and the drug traffickers, according to the source. "On the basis of phone calls that we have intercepted, we have discovered that the drugs are not only a source of wealth, but also a tool in the struggle to weaken Christendom." On March 24, just before the start of NATOs air campaign, Londons The Times reported Europes senior law enforcement officers believe the KLA is a Marxist-led force funded by drug money. An investigation by the paper revealed Swedish, German and Czech police, along with Europol, the European police authority, were conducting separate probes into evidence drug money fueled the KLAs rocket-rise from obscurity to power.

The direction we should be moving towards is fixing Medicare and expanding it to cover all of us. The American health-care system is a disaster now, between the 43 million uninsured people and the damage wrought by the market approach to health care. We need comprehensive reform and a change to methods of cost containment that are patient-oriented." GAIL SHEARER, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.consumersunion.org Director of Health Policy Analysis for Consumers Union, Shearer said today: "The president's proposal is a much better value than the current Medigap policies many Medicare recipients have. Under Medigap, a typical 75-year-old pays $1,800 for prescription coverage and gets at most $1,250 of benefits per year. However, we are concerned about the voluntary nature of the president's proposal. Ideally, prescription drugs would be covered for all, just like doctor and hospital bills. If only those in need elect coverage, premiums collected will not cover as large a portion of costs as anticipated, thus spiraling premiums." JOHN HESS A retired New York Times reporter, currently a radio commentator and an analyst on the economics of aging, Hess said: "The Clinton administration's proposals for Medicare are pure election-year posturing. There is no talk of Medicare reform even reaching Congress this year. Moreover, the proposals fail to address the central problem -- the nonstop rise in the price of prescription medicines. Someone has to have the courage to lower the boom on the pharmaceutical industry and start controlling the price of these medications. The first thing that will happen if the government pays for prescriptions is that employers who now cover all or most of the cost of brand-name drugs -- which are in many instances much better than generic counterparts -- will drop that coverage. The government in the meantime would have a limit on how much per year they will cover and the premium would come out of our Social Security checks on top of the increased premium that will be charged for Medicare. Employers will be better off, the drug companies will be better off, but people who now have better coverage from their employers and Medigap coverage -- and those with drug bills that exceed the proposed limits on government coverage -- would be worse off."

Re: [CTRL] Major Solar Storm
-Caveat Lector- If the Yugos had their act together they would have set off an EMP right on Wall St. Would have stopped the NWO right in it's tracks. Then who would pour billions into rebuilding their infrastructure bigger, better, newer than ever? This way all they have to do is retire Milosovic and a couple other guys and they're on the gravy train and all it cost them was some obsolete factories, a couple of bridges and whole bunch of decoys, with added luxury of the Kosovo problem now becoming NATO's problem and with Yugolsavia's honor intact and the VJ dripping with glory. Clever, those Yugos, damn clever. Maybe this "war" isn't Wag the Dog after all; maybe it's The Mouse That Roared. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed. Substancenot soapboxing! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply. Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
