Re: [CTRL] Tales of the Underclass
-Caveat Lector- Gross oversimpilification! No, it's the crux and the essence of both. Everything else is just window dressing. Noam teaches at a university does he not? What does that make him? An anomaly. Sorry, not good enough. You made a generalisation about academics supporting ruling class values. Perhaps you care to provide actual evidence of this fact? Noam afterall, has plenty of backers scattered throughout the US university system. Quite a few over here as well. I encountered heaps of Marxists in my uni days. And not one pro-capitalist... And from this alone you extropolate? That's sampling error. What was your major? I went to two universities and did a BA and a M Soc Sci. In both universities the clear majority of the academic staff of the humanities/social science departments held Marxist beliefs. The lecturers weren't all Australian either and included quite a few Americans and Europeans. There were a few iconoclasts (or deviationists), but only a few and curiously they came from overseas. How can you say this if you haven't been to college/uni? I went. I dropped out to feed my family. But I was there long enough to get the gist off it. Of course! You've got it all worked out! I should have realised! That's prejudiced. That's observant. That's presumptious. And take your queues from the anarchist ideology... Very good. Anarchists think for ourselves. We pool our efforts to do so. Nobody is smart enough to get through life with only one brain. There's a contradiction there, but perhaps if you pool your thoughts you will realise that whenever people gather in groups they stop thinking for themselves... unless they are the "leader". That's a WHO stat. I'm fairly skeptical of the WHO, and their ilk, for a variety of reasons. But, they're collecting the stats and you're not, so I'm gonna go with them with this proviso: the real number is probably higher. That's your bias talking. That's extrapolation from extensive study, especially in the field. For six years I drove truck for a non profit that gave away food. We gave away fifteen to sixteen hundred pounds a week at our own expence in the middle of one of the most prosperous regions on earth the Bay Area. There was ALWAYS more hunger than food. Nobody ever goes hungry for lack of food. And not because of drought, floods, shoddy state distribution systems in the communist remnants, inept economic policies in some states, localist corruption and thievery? Nope. Even in the worst food crisis, be it of whatever origin, if you have enough money you can eat. If you do not, you starve. This is they way of the (capitalist) world. That misses the point Nessie of your original contention that capitalism was the cause of food shortages. How many people want to live in Nessie in an anarcho-syndicalist states of America? By definition, there's no such thing as an anarcho-syndicalist STATE of anything. Spare me nitpicking Nessie. plenty of food, If you have the money to pay for it. Grow your own then. If you have your own land or the money to buy or rent some, yeah, go for it. I grow as much as I can, in my own tiny yard, in the back of Bound Together Books and in a vacant lot where nobody seems to mind. It's not enough, but it helps. I recommend it. Your problem with the ownership thing suddenly clicked. I have a vague memory of a guest lecturer at Uni, an anarchist, and the motto "property is theft". Unfortunately, unlike Australia, in the US available land is at a premium, particularly in the cities. There are a smattering of vacant lots where people can grow food, but they seldom last long and most are poluted. There's one two blocks from my house that the (capitalist) owners have fenced in with a twelve foot fence to keep us out. Haven't you heard? Most of Australia is semi-arid to desert. Just about everyone lives along the East coast. And I'm saddened that your local capitalist owners don't want you planting crops on their turf but I'm sure that, seeing they're probably in debt to some bank, they'd take a dim view of anarchists asserting that property is theft. Walking is for free. Tell you what, dress in old clothes, leave your money and ID at home, go for a walk at night in a rich neighborhood and then tell us that. You've missed the point again Nessie. You can't walk anywhere you like anywhere on this world, but you don't have to pay anybody to actually use your own legs to get from A to B. most people have money so they do watch what they want. Most people where? In your neighborhood maybe. In the world? No way. Touche. You got me there. I'll be more specific, but it's hard because just about every state on this earth has some sort of politically inspired restrictions on what one can watch although that ranges from the draconian (DPRK) to the merely moralistic. But in DPRK and Cuba whether you have enough money or not there's only certain things you can watch and you risk imprisonment if you watch
Re: [CTRL] Chechens surprise with counter-attack, Russians admit heavy losses= CAT-AND-MOUSE.
-Caveat Lector- Give me a break, eh? Don't you recognize the game of CAT AND MOUSE when it is played? Russia is a nuclear power and according to stats I can produce at any time it was ahead of USA when it GRACIOUSLY decided to end the Cold War. So an intelligent person would ask, WHAT IS THE REAL GAME BEHIND THIS? Funny that CBC (Canada) would never even think of asking that! But then, nobody ever expected any "Medium" dependent on Cretin's government WELFARE for its survival to be competent. FWP htttp://users.uniserve.com/~culturex/Machine-Psychology.htm Chechens surprise with counter-attack, Russians admit heavy losses GROZNY, Russia, Nov 29 (AFP) - Chechen fighters seized the initiative Monday, taking a second village as fierce fighting flared on the eastern front and a top general admitted heavy losses in recent clashes. In Moscow, Russia slapped down talk of a mediation role for the OSCE in resolving the conflict, Norwegian Foreign Minister Knut Vollebaek leaving without a date for an OSCE mission to the region. After weeks of setbacks, Grozny said its troops had extended a weekend counter-attack, capturing the village of Noibyora 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Grozny on Monday. The settlement, near the Russian-controlled second city of Gudermes, is close to Novogroznensky which was snatched by Chechen troops at the weekend. Moscow declined to comment the report, but insisted its troops had regained control of Novogroznensky. Russian television showed Russian armour patrolling the zone as helicopter gunships buzzed overhead in the hunt for Chechen fighters who hit an Mi-8 attack helicopter, killing the pilot. Both sides reported heavy fighting around Alleroi, 10 kilometres from Chechnya's eastern border with the neighbouring Russian republic of Dagestan. Intense clashes were also reported around Alkhan-Yurt, a village at the southwestern gates of Grozny, and the key bastion of Urus-Martan, 20 kilometres southwest of the capital. The flurry of skirmishes came as Russian Chief of Staff General Valery Manilov said 12 paratroopers had died near the village of Kharachoi, in the southeastern Vedeno district, fiefdom of leading Chechen field commander Shamil Basayev. "Our kids were forced to fight to the end. Out of 14 people, 12 people died," he said of the November 17 clash. The toll is the heaviest admitted by Russian commanders from a single battle with the Chechens in the current campaign. A rebel field commander told AFP on November 22 that Chechen forces had killed more than 200 Russians near Kharachoi and produced a video showing some 40 corpses in Russian uniform and two prisoners. The Chechen thrust signalled a switch in tactics, the outgunned guerrillas until now having avoided pitched battles with Russian troops who rolled into the rebel republic on October 1. Russian generals have relied on massive aerial and artillery superiority to push back the rebels, rather than risk a repeat of street battles which led to disastrous losses in the 1994-96 war between the two sides. Despite the setbacks, Russia's official envoy to Chechnya Nikolai Koshman predicted federal troops would control two-thirds of Chechnya, including Grozny, by December 20. Russian forces, who currently control more than half of the republic, continued to pound Urus-Martan, which guards vital escape routes from Grozny. Russian generals had hoped to take the town last week. Federal aircraft carried out 50 air raids in Chechnya Monday after more than more than 200 raids on Chechen positions at the weekend. Chechen officials say Grozny and Urus-Martan have been 80 percent destroyed by the relentless onslaught which has left more than 4,500 people dead. Grozny's mayor said Saturday that 260 people had been killed in the preceding 48 hours, in some of the heaviest bombing yet of the capital. Reports of Russian disregard for civilian casualties have prompted sharp criticism from the West, including Vollebaek, the current chairman of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe. But the official, in Moscow to discuss an OSCE mission to the region, left empty handed and with a Russia rejection of any OSCE mediation role ringing in his ears. "I would not be honest if I said that I'm satisfied with my achievements," Vollebaek said ahead of his departure for the United States. His host Igor Ivanov, the Russian foreign minister, bluntly said Moscow "does not need mediation to resolve this problem." It was not clear when the issue would be discussed again. : DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] Rife tech, The amazing story of Rick Cuyler
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave THE RIFE MACHINE: A CANCER ANSWER? "UNDER THE LIGHT" - The dis-ease is dis-armed. The amazing story of Rick Cuyler Several months ago after hearing my story of survival from acute leukemia and the medical establishments "solution" to cancer, a friend asked me to give a brief summary of what I experienced and how I was able to survive a disease that literally in all cases is diagnosed as fatal. There is so much to tell but will give you all synopsis here. At the age of 27 years old after experiencing a very difficult life already I was about to be faced with the most challenging experience that life was about to offer me. On September 28th, 1992 after collapsing from exhaustion I was informed by medical doctors that I had developed a terminal case of "acute non-lymphocytic leukemia" (ANLL). With each prognosis I would hope for error. But with each diagnosis the only promise was a dead one. The only options for me were nothing short of poison. High doses of chemotherapy. Being thrown into a diagnosis like this along with my lack of knowledge I had no choice but to choose the options available to me through traditional therapies. As my extremely aggressive disease needed immediate attention I was ignorant to any other choices for treatment. I was at the unfortunate mercy of my oncologist. Starting with the usual acute leukemia dosage I received approximately 2 litres of chemo twice a day for 7 days. This would cause almost complete destruction of not only normal and/or abnormal cells but also bone marrow cells. The result of this is complete support of blood/transfusion along with high dose of IV antibiotics/platelets. To summarize my treatment with chemo over a period of 15 months. It was over 20 gallons of chemotherapy over 5 different 4-6 week hospital stays and 5 relapses following quickly after each remission. In January of 1994 in my 5th relapse with 99% leukemia cells in my bone, I underwent a non-(family)-related donor bone marrow transplant. As a result of 5 high dose rounds of chemo, a non-(family)-related donor bone marrow transplant, 100% full body radiation and all the toxic effects caused by the combination my overall predicted success was 5% possibility of living through the transplant with an estimated 90 day time period relapse following the transplant. During the last 15 months I had been endlessly researching any and all possible cures anywhere in the world. Including voodoo (smiling). In other words I was offered NO cure from conventional medicine but felt intuitively that there was hope. I knew instinctively that there was a cure. Early in my illness my focus was directed on Royal Raymond Rife's research. It was by far the most understandable. Royal Raymond Rife, a San Diego based scientist started researching the cause of cancer. After many years of failed results Rife was convinced a virus was the culprit. Due to the lack of microscopic capabilities at that time his biggest accomplishment was his invention of the "Universal Microscope". A microscope capable of viewing "live" specimens 60-100,000 times using light as his method of staining. After several years of research Rife discovered that each and every individual diseased organism such as virus, bacteria, fungus and parasites resonated/vibrated at their own individual frequency. Rife also discovered that using a specific RF (radio frequency) would kill the diseased organism when using its' specific frequency. Rife called this their MOR (mortal oscillatory rate). This effect can be easily described as an opera singer shattering a crystal glass when the right frequencies are met. This method would prove to be 100% effective in killing all types/shapes/sizes of diseased organisms. To explain it simply any previous or future biological diseased organism cannot survive the resonating effects of frequencies within their structure. Rife had a 100% cure for all diseases that plagued man. Including Leprosy, TB, Polio, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Cancer, Strep, Staff, Fungus, Parasites and the list goes on So far all present diseases such as Alzheimer's, Herpes, Parkinson's, Lupus, Arthritis, Cataracts, Aids, STD's and Cancer to name just a few are also susceptible to the lethal frequencies. In 1934 at the Scripts Ranch in La Jolla California Rife successfully treated and cured 16 of 16 terminal cancer patients using his "light" (frequency generator). Soon after clinics all across the country were reporting 100% cures for the diseases of the time including cancer as his clinical trials proved. This would bring on the wrath of the AMA. Ask yourself these questions as I had to ask myself . Why would something 100% effective in curing the diseases of mankind when used properly resulted in No side effects, No pain, No damage, No harm whatsoever to the host be removed from
[CTRL] Microwave effects on food humans
-Caveat Lector- In 1970, RAND Corporation publishes a report entitled "A Brief Survey of Literature Relating to Influence of Low Intensity Microwaves on Nervous Function". The author notes that the US microwave guideline in effect for the public, 10,000 mw/cm2, provide for non-thermal levels of microwaves which produce behavioral disturbances in humans. These disturbances include irritability, loss of memory, fatigue, headache, tremors, hallucination, autonomic nervous system disorders and disturbed sensory functioning. The report continues in discussion of several possible mechanisms which allow these effects. A companion paper, "A Direct Mechanism for the Direct Influence of Microwave Radiation on Neuroelectric Function", is also produced by R.J. MacGregor for the RAND Corporation. In the report, he notes that power densities of close to 100,000 mw/cm2 can produce auditory halluncinations in a field that would be averaged as low intensity and non-thermal. According to MacGregors model, this would produce a depolarization of brain tissue of 2.0-3.0 mv, where he concludes that neuroelectric effects should exhibit a maximum effect in the microwave range. Other information follows, with sources. Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave THE EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE APPARATUS ON FOOD AND HUMANS Microwave cooking ovens were originally researched and developed by German scientists to support mobile operations during the invasion of the Soviet Union. Had they perfected electronic equipment to prepare meals on a mass scale, the Nazis could have eliminated the logistical problems connected with cooking fuels while producing edible products in far less time than they could using traditional campfires. After the war, the Allies discovered the medical research and documentation concerning these apparatuses. The papers and experimental microwave equipment were transferred to the U.S. War Department and classified for reference and scientific investigation. The Soviet Union also retrieved some of the devices and began to experiment on them separately. The Russians - who have done the most diligent research into the biological effects of microwave ovens - have OUTLAWED THEIR USE and issued an international warning about the biological and environmental damage that can result from the use of this and similar-frequency electronic apparatus. MEDICAL RESEARCH SUMMARY The most significant German research concerned with the biological effects of microwaves was done at the Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin in 1942-43, during the Barbarossa military campaign. Beginning in 1957 and continuing up to the present, Russian studies in the field have been conducted at the Institute of Radio Technology. In most research, the foods were exposed to microwave propagation at an energy potential of 100 kilowatts per cubic centimetre per second to the point considered acceptable for sanitary normal ingestion. The observations made by the German and Russian microwave researchers will be presented here in three categories: cancer-causing effects, destruction of nutritive value and biological effects of direct exposure of humans to microwave emissions. EFFECTS ON MICROWAVED FOODS The following effects have been observed when foods are subjected to microwave emissions. Meats: Heating prepared meats sufficiently to insure sanitary ingestion creates d-nitrosodiethanolamine, a well-known cancer-causing agent. Proteins: Active-protein, biomolecular compounds are destabilized. Increase In Radioactivity: A "binding effect" between the microwaved food and any atmospheric radioactivity is created, causing a marked increase in the amount of alpha and beta particle saturation in the food. Milk and Cereals: Cancer-causing agents are created in the protein-hydrolysate compounds in milk and cereal grains. Frozen Foods: Microwaves used to thaw frozen foods alter the catabolism (breakdown) of the glucoside and galactoside elements (see Note 1). Vegetables: Even extremely brief exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables to microwaves alter alkaloid (see Note 2) catabolism. RESULTING EFFECTS ON THE HUMAN BODY Digestive System: The unstable catabolism of microwaved foods alters their elemental food substances, causing disorders in the digestive system. Lymphatic Systems: Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions occur in the lymphatic system, causing a degeneration of the body's ability to protect itself against certain forms of neoplastics (cancerous growths). Blood: A higher-than-normal percentage of cancerous cells in blood serum (cytomas) can be seen in subjects ingesting microwaved foods. Brain: Their residual magnetism effect can render the psychoneural-receptor components of the brain more subject to influence by artificially induced, microwave-radio-frequency fields from transmission stations and TV relay networks. Free Radicals: Certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances (in

-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave Cancer Cure http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/news/kelley.html SUPPRESSED There is no cure for the common cold. There is a very simple CURE for cancer There is not ONE doctor in the world today who treats cancer? Historically we are repeating the very same lesson we learned in 1930. In caring for his diabetic patients the physician may amputate a leg, perform a liver, kidney or lung transplant and provide a Seeing Eye dog. However he is not treating DIABETES, but only the end result of diabetes. If the physician does not prescribe insulin, the missing metabolic requirement, he is not treating diabetes. Even should the physician prescribe insulin, the patient himself must give the needed medication from 1 to 4 times a day and adjust his diet. The patient, not the physician, must treat his own diabetes. Likewise, in caring for his CANCER patients, the physician may surgically remove a tumor mass, and destroy the patient's body with chemotherapy and/or radiation. However, he is not treating CANCER, but only the end results of cancer. Cancer is simply a metabolic malfunction of the patient's pancreas and failure of the pancreas to produce an adequate amount of pancreatin, for a number of reasons. Although the physician may prescribe pancreatin for his cancer patients, it is the patient himself who treats his own cancer by taking the pancreatin from 4 to 6 times daily as well as making adjustments in his diet. From the beginning of time, diabetes was a death sentence. In 1911 professor Scott discovered and documented the cure for Diabetes. All Physicians had only treated the results of diabetes, such as heart, liver and kidney damage, gangrene and blindness, but not diabetes. Everything went along the same as usual, diabetic patients dying, until the 1920's when Dr. Scott developed and standardized the blood test for diabetes. During this period, the Medical Establishment in their pompous ignorance and diabolical greed, murdered Dr. Scott's wife and only son. The Eli Lilly Co. was given the sole and only monopoly for the manufacture and sale of insulin, by the Big Establishment, which controls all monopolies. Lilly's problem was, they could not make insulin. Therefore by stealth, deceit and conspiracy, a Lilly conspirator confiscated Scott's procedures and technique for production of insulin. The Medical Establishment then forced Sir Dr. Frederick Banting to accept a Doctor of Medicine degree that he did not want and in which he had no interest. Next the Establishment gave the Nobel prize to Banting (a very honorable man) and Best (not so honorable) to cover up Lilly's theft of Scott's scientific discovery. Thus the Big Establishment conferred credibility upon Eli Lilly and Company. Lilly has had the monopoly on insulin ever since, making hundreds of millions of dollars down through the years. So it is today, the physician only treats malignant tumor masses, blood and immune system failures. The physician never treats CANCER. Four things usually happen to the physician who even attempts to treat CANCER: 1. He is immediately stripped of his license to practice medicine; and/or is 2. Thrown in jail for at least one year; and/or is 3. Run out of the country; (usually Mexico) and/or is 4. Killed. For the time being, the CANCER victim must treat his/her own cancer. Legally, one must also allow the physician to treat the results of CANCER and plunder and frequently kill the victim. The Cancer Self-Test and procedures for treating one's cancer are carefully outlined in Dr. Kelley's One Answer to Cancer updated, 1997. I bring this message to you for several reasons. First, to remind you how desperately ill Cancer Victims become, and how easy it is for me to tell them what is needed to regain their health. Also, how exceedingly difficult it is for them to do it. Cancer Victims have to give up any hope they might have that their Orthodox or Alternative Treatment can be more than 20% successful. Although they are told this by their honest physicians, it remains hard to let go of the faintest glimmer of hope. The discipline necessary to do our Metabolic Program is a high hurdle for all Cancer Victims. For example a young man, Scott Stirling, a seriously ill cancer victim, came to my little, office (a 3 room shack) in Grapevine, Texas. At this point, the Metabolic Nutritional Supplements were pure and uncontaminated. The Medical Establishment was livid with me personally and deceived themselves that I was a 'health food nut' and no threat to their 100 Billion Dollar a year CANCER Racket of Plunder and Murder. Scot, of course, like other Cancer Victims, had to work very hard to reverse the progression of his terminal illness. Our Metabolic Paradigm was and is as true as 'gravity.' Like other scientists before me down through history, the Establishment tries with all their diabolic schemes and tricks to destroy it. Truth is a most difficult

Skolnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11-22-99 More of the Same? The National Transportation Safety Board, NTSB, and its predecessor federal agencies, have a long, sorry history of covering up foul play involved in some aircraft disasters. The word "sabotage" is a dirty, forbidden word to them and the airline industry. How can they sell tickets if passengers are haunted by the idea that some planes are put down by bombs, missiles, or other bloody work? Some NTSB panel members, in the past, have been suspected of concealing that some of their family members and cronies have financial interests, if not actual stock ownership, in the airline travel business. There is, in short, nothing safe about the Safety Board. About 1965 a commercial plane was enroute to Chicago. Just offshore of the Windy City, the plane blew up and fell in relatively shallow water of Lake Michigan. Early news accounts in some of the newspapers said a bomb was suspected. Later editions, like with political assassinations, cleaned up the messy details. Further stories dismissed the crash as merely some kind of "accident". One night a diver went down to the wreckage and apparently stole one of the "black boxes", that records various parameters of the plane's operations or records voices in the cockpit. Also removed were apparently certain items in the wreckage. What was that all about? According to some news reports, it was some kind of an unsolved mystery. Left out of reports in the monopoly press were that one of the passengers was a disgruntled top official of the American CIA. He was on the way to meeting a prominent journalist in Chicago. He was going to turn over documents showing that there had been a high-level cabal implicated in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. [Not the only time key witnesses were snuffed out on the way to meet with reporters. Example, the Karen Silkwood case. AND, see our details in an earlier story, about Reporters and Assassins(they sleep together)]. These details I had confirmed to me from two reliable sources. One of them was federal aircrash inspector. Unlike some of his colleagues, he had several times endangered his job and career demanding the truth be told about some crashes. BUT, his superiors always told him to "shut up". The facts were simple. To silence a top espionage official an entire plane was put in the drink killing all onboard. In December, 1972, one month after President Nixon was re-elected, a commercial plane was headed from Washington's National Airport, set for a stop in Chicago. Among the passengers were twelve WATERGATE figures, including Mrs. E. Howard Hunt, wife of the Watergate burglar. She was nervous about her luggage. So, she bought an additional first class seat ticket for her baggage right near her. Why? Well, contained there was two million dollars of "hush" money, that her husband reportedly blackmailed out of Nixon. Both Mr. and Mrs. E. Howard Hunt were long-time CIA officials. Both reportedly knew about the role of Tricky Dick implicated in the political assassination of President Kennedy. The two million dollars in valuables were to be "parked" apparently with her Chicago-area relatives, one of whom reportedly owns a sizeable accounting and motel operation some say is tied to the "boys", the traditional mafia. Some of the passengers perished when the United Air Lines plane pancaked just short of Midway Airport. Sooner than the police and fire departments, 150 FBI agents were already in the crash zone keeping local authorities away from the smouldering plane. The FBI headquarters is 12 miles away. How did that many FBI get there that soon, ahead of the fire and police? The FBI apparently were already in the vicinity of the airport waiting to take Mrs. Hunt and some of the other Watergators into custody, to be charged with extortion, that is, shaking down a federal official, namely President Nixon. It was supposed to result in a secret "national security" federal criminal prosecution with the court records sealed. From all the details we uncovered, we knew Mrs. Hunt and some of her confederates survived the pancaked air plane and were poisoned later by the FBI. We arranged to "liberate" the entire 1300 pages of documents and pictures of the National Transportation Safety Board, showing sabotage. The NTSB did NOT intend to release THOSE documents in the form they had them. Without telling the NTSB we had their file, we sued the NTSB, claiming sabotage cover up. A local crooked judge, however, put us out of

[CTRL] Royal Rife the Cancer Virus
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave Bob Beck's site: http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/ http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/c-virus.html low cost Rife machines---questions answers---Rife frequency list---anti-cancer unit Royal Rife the Cancer Virus In 1920 Royal Rife identified the human cancer virus using the worlds most powerful microscope (which he created), cultured the virus (on salted pork, the best growing medium), and injected it into rats. These injections caused cancer in every one of the rats (all 400 of them). Later he was able to find a frequency of electro-magnetic energy that would cause the cancer virus to self destruct when within that energy field. He created a device that emitted that energy field and was successful at destroying cancer viruses inside patients who were within 10 feet of the device. In 1934, the University of Southern California appointed a Special Medical Research Committee to bring 16 terminal cancer patients from Pasadena County Hospital to Rife's San Diego Laboratory and clinic for treatment. The team included doctors and pathologists assigned to examine the patients, if still alive, in 90 days. After the 3 months of treatment, the Committee concluded that 14 of the patients had been completely cured. The treatment was then adjusted and the remaining 2 also were cured within the next 4 weeks. On November 20, 1931, forty-four of the nation's most respected medical authorities honored Royal Rife with a banquet billed as "The End To All Diseases" at the Pasadena estate of Dr Milbank Johnson. But by 1939, almost all of these distinguished doctors and scientists were denying that they had ever met Rife. This complete reversal was the result of pressure from the drug companies on them. 'Pressure' is a very nice way of saying it. On the eve of a press conference to announce the results of the 1934 study on Rife's cancer therapy, Dr Milbank Johnson, former president of the Southern California AMA, was fatally poisoned and his papers "lost". Also, after a failed attempt by Morris Fishbein to buy the rights to Rife's healing instrument for the medical drug industry, Rife's labs were destroyed by arson and sabotage. Dr. Nemes, who had duplicated some of the work of Rife, was killed in a mysterious fire which destroyed all his research papers. A similar fire also destroyed the Burnett Lab, which was validating Rife's work. Royal Rife himself was killed in 1971 by an "accidental" lethal dose of Valium and alcohol at Grossmont Hospital. Participating in the original 1934 USC study were the following people: Director of the Northwestern Medical School Arthur Kendall, president of USC Rufus Klein-Schmidt, Milbank Johnson, Edward Kopps of the Metabolic Clinic in La Jolla, George Fischer of the NY Childrens Hospital, Kurt Meyer of the Hooper Foundation in San Francisco, and the Chief Surgeon of Santa Fe Railway Whalen Morrison. Dr Milbank Johnson, who was the professor of Physiology and Clinical Medicine at USC, and chairman of the Special Medical Research Committee, operated his own cancer clinic utilizing the Rife therapy for 10 years. He was able to document many cases of cancer reversal there. By the late 1950's even independent doctors and labs (among them New York's Presbyterian Hospital) - unaware of Rife's work, were bringing forth their own proof that cancer was an infectious viral disease, and maintained that "cancer did not consist of a localized tumor alone." They described it as a generalized disease caused by an organism in the blood. It could be that all of us have that virus and that it usually doesn't create tumors except when there's enough toxicity due to chemical exposure, unhealthy habits, or poorly oxygenated blood. (exceptions exist though. ie: Linda McCartney who died of cancer although she was relly into healthy living.) But we believe it is also very helpful to detox and live a healthy lifestyle as well as remove the virus that can turn cells cancerous. Modern versions of Rife's frequency instrument exist (both original tube type and pad types), but cost at least $2000. (Jaguar is now selling pad type units for $500-$620 to change this.) These devices still have to be sold under the guise "for veterinary purposes only" because the FDA will not approve anything that doesn't keep the money rolling in via drugs/surgery/radiation. (hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient). Click here to jump to testimonies page. This page is for informational use only.

[CTRL] INCURABLE DISEASE ELECTROMEDICINE
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave from Bob Beck's site: http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/ "INCURABLE" DISEASE ELECTROMEDICINE http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/blackbox.html by Michael Forrest Since the beginnings of time, disease has been one of humanity's greatest scourges. Although science has made progress with the creation of vaccines and antibiotics, we still have many untreatable diseases, some of which are due to new strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Some of these are responsible for Tuberculosis, Cholera, Pneumonia, Meningitis, Scarlet fever, Strep throat, and untreatable infections of the ears, skin, and blood. On top of that we have many incurable viral diseases, including AIDS, Ebola, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Herpes, Hepatitis A and B, some cancers, and killer flus. Science is still looking for a magic bullet, but unfortunately not in the arena of electromedicine. That's because electromedicine was "discredited" back in 1910 by the Flexnor Report, which was subsidized by John Rockefeller (who had just purchased stock in pharmaceutical companies.) Despite this major setback, a great step was taken in the war against viruses and bacteria when doctors William Lyman and Steven Kaali made an astonishing announcement on March 14th of 1991 at the First International Symposium on Combination Therapies. Lyman and Kaali, researchers from the Albert Einstein School of Medicine, reported that a small amount of electric current, flowing through a dish of fluid containing the HIV virus, reduced its ability to infect cells by up to 95%! The electric current used was very small, (only 50-100 microamperes) which is safe for blood cells but harmful to viruses and other pathogens. The announcement of this electromedicine was reported in Science News, Longevity Magazine, and the Houston Post. Unfortunately, further media coverage of this breakthrough was suppressed. Dr. Kaali Peter Schwolsky created patent #5188738, which describes two blood electrification methods as being able to: "provide electric current flow through the blood sufficient to render the bacteria, virus, parasites and/or fungus ineffective to infect or affect normally healthy cells while maintaining the biological usefulness of the blood or other fluids." Their electromedicine patent described blood treatment which involved extracting the blood, treating it with electricity, and reinjecting it back into the body. Also another method was described which required implanting an electrical blood treatment device into an artery. Both of these electromedicine procedures would be lengthy, painful, and available only at considerable expense from hospitals or clinics. To create a simpler and less invasive electromedicine treatment, a health researcher by the name of Bob Beck came up with the idea of electrifying the blood by placing two electrodes on the skin directly over arteries in the ankles or wrist, and wired to an electronic device capable of painlessly injecting current into the bloodstream through the skin. A controlled amount of electrical current thus passes through the circulatory system while the patient rests or undertakes a quiet activity. Even though the electric current apparently does not kill the viruses, research has shown that it deactivates all of them, so that they lose the ability to infect cells. Viruses that can't penetrate (infect) cells are fair game for removal by the immune system. Therefore, during the period of treatment, the immune system can successfully remove these deactivated viruses from the body. Bacteria, fungus, and parasites in the blood are also neutralized or killed by the electric current. Because this device was not FDA approved, Bob Beck left the U. S. for two years to test it on people with viral diseases and observe the results. He needed to determine not only the efficacy of this treatment, but its absolute safety. His experiments consisted of 1 to 2 hours of treatment per day over a 5 to 8 week period. As a result of these experiments, he concluded that anyone with any known or unknown virus, using the Black Box electromedicine device exactly as directed, would invariably become virus free and experience remission from their illnesses. However, he also observed that some of his test subjects would experience a reinfection by the same virus, after a year or more of apparent freedom from it. He then realized that some viruses also remain in the lymph fluid and would eventually make their way back into the bloodstream, where they could infect cells, multiply, and once again bring back all the old disease symptoms. So, being the genius inventor that he is, he then created another electromedicine device which he called the Magnetic Pulser. Using a magnetic pulse, it creates a momentary electrical current in the lymph fluid which deactivates the viruses and

-Caveat Lector- Bob Beck doesn't appear to be educated about homeopathy (my preferred alternative to the "modern" medical system of cutting, burning and poisoning which has been "modernized" since the Middle Ages merely with sharper knives, radioactive cauterization, and synthetic instead of natural poisons), but has collected information on quite a lot of other interesting ideas about curing oneself from cancer. Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave http://www.asheville-computer.com/dave/altmedcon.htm Bob Beck's site- http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/ Cancer: What I Would Do http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/whattodo.html If I had cancer, I would do the following things; I would take an herbal paste with a verified clinical history of killing cancer cells and boosting the immune system. It isn't cheap but what value has money anyway when you're close to leaving this material world? Anyway, to read about this miraculous herbal formula click here. http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/SDV.html I would use a Beck-Rife#3 unit http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/beck-rife3.html or a Rife Frequency Generator http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/Rife-frequency.html to do general blood electrification (to deactivate viruses that could cause more cancerous cells), and apply anti-cancer-virus frequencies, and also to apply the healing frequency that can aid the body in reforming cancerous cells back into normal cells. I would take the advice of Donald Kelley DD http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/news/kelley.html who says that cancer can be dissolved in the body with extra pancreatic enzymes. He says that cancer protects itself from the immune system with a protein shell around the tumors that can be dissolved with these enzymes. He recommends eating little or no animal source protein (which needs lots of pancreatic enzymes for its digestion). Either Full Spectrum formula by HEC, or Enzyme Solution by Family Solutions will work fine. Take 2 just before each meal and 3 once a day on an empty stomach. If this does not eliminate gas and heartburn, try adding betaine hydrochloride at the end of each meal. Start with one per meal. I would eat apricot kernals daily in order to obtain vitamin B-17 which is known to kill cancerous cells. I would take 1 kernal for each 10 pounds of my body weight (thoughout the day). Eskimos with B-17 in their diets never get cancer. Laetrile (a purified version of B-17) has been successfully administered to cancer patients in clinics in Mexico for decades now. I would make a super strong blood purifying tea to aid the body with its detoxifying of cancer metabolic byproducts (waste) and also to aid in getting out any toxemia that contributed to creating the cancer in the first place. (only toxins and viruses cause cancer). Essiac is one formula invented by the natives in Canada and has been found effective when prepared properly. But I've heard that many versions of it found in health food stores are not made with the original proportions. One tea that I highly recommend is by Jason Winters. He went all around the world asking the herbal medicine men what to use for cancer. He was told of 3 herbs that had a good track record of reversing cancer. He started making and selling it as "Jason Winters Tea". A person should drink half a gallon daily for every 100 lbs of their weight. Here is the recipe: 32oz water, 1/8 cup Burdock, 1 tsp Licorice root. Put herbs in water and bring to boil. Then turn down heat and cook for 15 minuts. Then turn heat very low and add: 1/4 cup Red Clover, 1 tsp Chaparral. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. I would take at least 1 tbsp daily of cold processed Flax Seed Oil which is known to help reverse cancer. I would read "Fats Oils by Udo Erasamus" also to learn about good oils and bad (99% of which are sold in health food stores). He says that any oil which has been exposed to light, oxygen, or heat (above 350 degrees) will contain trans-fatty acids which can contribute to cancer. Originally before exposure they were essential fatty acids which are essential to good health. So now only oils processed especially to avoid light/heat/air are recommended by him. Spectrum Naturals and Arrowhead Mills both produce oils this way. (make sure it says so on the label). They are in black plastic bottles. I would buy a vegetable juicer and start making and drinking juice made from carrots, celery, and spinach. This combination is cleansing and provides enzymes and pure bio-available water that is many times more life enhancing than tap water or any bottled water. It's important for the immune system and also to help clean out cancer-causing toxins in the body. I would eat only food that is prepared from fresh food (hopefully grown without pesticides) which would include lots of vegetables (as much raw as possible, especially green leafy ones) and whole grain bread (hopefully home-made). I would eat light foods so that most of the bodys energy would go to the immune system instead of

[CTRL] Daniel Pipes on How Dare You Defame Islam (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- "How Dare You Defame Islam" Daniel Pipes Commentary November 1999 The problem began in January 1989. That was when Muslims living inBradford, England, decided to do something to show their anger about The Satanic Verses, a new novel by the famed writer Salman Rushdie that includedpassages making fun of the Prophet Muhammad. The Muslims, mostly Pakistaniimmigrants, purchased a copy of the novel, took it to a public square, attached it to a stake, and set it on fire. Television news showed this auto da fé in scandalized detail, and pictures of the scene were splashed across the British media for days, making it a major topic of discussion throughoutthe country. In Pakistan itself, after a month's buildup, an unruly mob of some 10,000 anti-Rushdie protesters took to the streets of the capital city of Islamabad. Marching to the American Cultural Center (a fact significant in itself), they attempted with great energy, but without success, to set the heavily fortified building on fire. Six people died in the violence, andmany more were injured. These events, in turn, caught the attention of Ayatollah Khomeini, the revolutionary ruler of Iran, who took prompt and drastic action: on February 14, 1989, he called upon "all zealous Muslims quicklyto execute" not just Salman Rushdie as the author of The Satanic Verses but"all those involved in its publication who were aware of its content." Thisedict led to emergency measures in England to protect Rushdie's person, and to weeks and months of intense debate among the world's politicians and intellectuals about the issues of freedom of speech and blasphemy. When the dust settled, Khomeini had failed in his specific goal of eliminating Rushdie physically: today, over a decade later, the author is once again writing well-received books and accepting literary awards. Butif Khomeini did not manage to harm Rushdie, he did accomplish something farmore profound: he stirred the souls of many Muslims, reviving a sense of confidence in their faith and a strong impatience with any denigration ofit, as well as a determination to take the offensive against anyone perceivedto be a blasphemer or even a critic. Although Khomeini himself passed from the scene just weeks after issuing his decree, the spirit it engendered is very much alive. During the decade since 1989, many efforts have been undertaken bythe forces of Islamism-otherwise known as Muslim fundamentalism-to silence critics. Ranging from outright violence to more sophisticated but no less effective techniques, they have produced impressive results. Some early acts of physical intimidation involved the Rushdie case itself. Translators of The Satanic Verses were stabbed and seriouslyinjured in Norway and Italy and, in Japan, murdered. In Turkey, another translator escaped when a fire set in his hotel failed to kill him, but 37 others died in the blaze. Other acts of violence were designed to punish both Muslimsand non-Muslims for a variety of alleged offenses. Egypt alone offers a number of examples. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, a professor of literature who wrote that certain references in the Qur'an to supernatural phenomena should be read as metaphors, found his marriage dissolved by an Egyptian court on the grounds that his writings proved himan apostate. (According to Islamic law, a Muslim woman may not be married to a non-Muslim.) Another case involved the author of a nonconformist essay on Islam: he, his publisher, and the book's printer were each sentenced toeight years in jail on the charge of blasphemy. Farag Foda, an Egyptian intellectual who expressed scorn for the Islamist program, was shot and murdered. And Naguib Mahfouz, the elderly and much-celebrated Nobel Prize laureate for literature, was seriously injured in Cairo when an assailant knifed him in the neck, presumably in revenge for an allegorical novel written decades earlier. Nor has the campaign been limited to Muslim-majority countries. Makin Morcos, also an Egyptian, was killed in Australia for criticizing the Islamists' anti-Christian campaign in his native country; Rashad Khalifa, a biochemist from Egypt living in Tucson, Arizona, was stabbed to death in January 1990 to silence his heretical ideas. (A member of Usama bin Laden's gang has been implicated in the latter murder.) Both these incidents sent a chilling message: you can run but you cannot hide. Nor, finally, is the campaign in Western countries limited toviolence or threats of violence against Muslims; it also extends to non-Muslims. In some cases, purely private matters may be at issue: Jack Briggs, an Englishman, has been on the lam for years, hiding with his wife from her Pakistani family who have vowed to kill both of them (even though they are properly married and even though he converted to Islam to win their approval). Other cases concern publicly expressed views: Steven Emerson, a former Senate aide and investigative reporter for
[CTRL] New Book Challenges Theories of AIDS Origins
-Caveat Lector- New York Times November 30, 1999 THE DOCTOR'S WORLD New Book Challenges Theories of AIDS Origins By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN, M.D. Is AIDS a disaster inadvertently brought on by humans that arose from early testing of a polio vaccine in Africa in the 1950's? In ``The River,'' Edward Hooper finds disturbing links between an experimental oral polio vaccine _ being given here in L eopoldville (now Kinshasa, Congo) in 1959 _ and the beginnings of the AIDS virus. The virus, he says, could have originated in chimpanzee tissues that he suggests were used to make the vaccine. This provocative theory seemed far-fetched when it first came to public attention in an article in Rolling Stone in 1992. Most AIDS experts dismissed it after a scientific committee reviewed the theory and deemed the probability very low. But that panel based its conclusion in part on a published finding that was later shown to be in error. And now a remarkable new book by a British journalist offers tantalizing clues to revive and expand the polio vaccine theory. In "The River" (Little, Brown, $35), Edward Hooper suggests that an experimental oral polio vaccine might have been made with chimpanzee tissue contaminated with an ancestor of the virus that was to cause AIDS. Although he has no medical expertise, Hooper, 48, has done a prodigious amount of research since 1990. In 1,070 pages, including extensive footnotes, he builds a case based entirely on circumstantial evidence that he accumulated in hundreds of interviews and exhaustive library research. He finds close coincidence in both time and place between the earliest cases of AIDS and the testing of an oral vaccine developed at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia and, later, in two laboratories in Belgium. From 1957 to 1960, the vaccine was given to a million people in what are now Rwanda, Burundi and Congo. If the experimental vaccine was contaminated, nothing could have been done about it because tests for the ancestor virus did not exist then. And it would have been a one-time event because standard polio vaccines were not made from chimpanzee tissues. Of 28 cases of AIDS acquired in specified towns in Africa through 1980, 23 were from the same towns where the experimental vaccine was given or within 175 miles of them. The area is the epicenter of the African epidemic, which is the worst in the world. And there is precedent for a simian virus's lurking in polio vaccine: millions of Americans were inadvertently infected with such a virus, SV-40, in the 1950's and early 1960's. (Fortunately, it was not harmful.) But in 1967, several laboratory workers in Germany died from the newly discovered Marburg virus after it had been imported in African green monkeys. The virus is harmless for the monkeys but lethal for humans. The similarities Hooper describes could be coincidence. "The River" does not prove his extraordinary theory, nor does it claim to. But it builds a sufficiently detailed case to require serious examination of his theory. Attempts to find answers require extensive research, and in the book and in subsequent interviews Hooper has offered a long list of suggestions, including laboratory testing of the small amounts of vaccine that still exist after having been stored for more than 40 years. Because the vaccine may have degraded over the decades, performing all the proposed research might still not determine whether it accidentally touched off the AIDS epidemic. And even if a simian virus turned up in the stored samples, it would not prove that it started the epidemic. Still, even if the vaccine thesis is disproved, Hooper's research has embarrassed scientists. He has found that leading researchers kept sloppy records and that prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals published reports that omitted crucial details. Despite a diligent search, Hooper could turn up no records of what primate tissues were used to prepare the first experimental polio vaccines, which were tested mostly in Africa but also in the United States and Europe. Though the government requires more record keeping today, scientists say there is ample room for improvement. With the exception of a negative review in the journal Nature, experts writing in scientific journals have praised Hooper's diligence and scholarship and the plausibility of the thesis, even if they are skeptical of it. In the journal Science, Dr. Robin A. Weiss, a leading virologist in London, wrote that Hooper had written the most exhaustive history of polio vaccine trials and early AIDS cases. The Wistar Institute, the first independent medical research center in the United States, appointed the 1992 panel to examine the theory that its vaccine might have touched off the AIDS epidemic. Now it says it is trying to find independent experts to do what they were unwilling to do seven years ago, when the panel recommended

Re: [CTRL] Protesters, Police Clash in Seattle
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 11/30/99 7:34:31 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: SEATTLE ââ Promises of nonviolent protest against World Trade Organization talks were shattered â along with storefront windows â as 5,000 demonstrators clashed with police seeking to clear the way for delegates to get into the conference. It may be that violence is the only way to make people finally see the dangers inherent in this shift to NWO multinational crap. The irony is that violence gets recognition but it also carries with it the stigma of astracizement, in other words as more people see it the more they will call the aims of the protestors "silly" or of no importance. One could question the origin of the protestations, making a case that the scaling up of the violence is an "Op." in order to cast the whole anti-WTO movement in a bad light. Interestingly I saw Pat Robertson last night talking up the WTO and the need for "Free Trade", and "Fair Trade" in our modern world, and also saying how it was necessary for all the world to be interlinked by trading with those countries who produce the best of each products. He blamed the anti-WTO movement on "Trade Unions" which he cast in a bad light, and then went on to decry the "nationalist" and "isolationist" stance of many who would put "America First". It seemed odd to hear these things coming from him, considering his supposed "conservative" "Christian" position. Of course the WTO has nothing to do with free or fair trade, it has to do with subjugation and the makings of the NWO which will make elites and bankers and Multi-national corporations richer and stronger than ever. Interlocking economies always sounds good on paper for so called economic stability and advancement but it also has a great risk as when one of the dominoes falls (and we all know how precarious some of the markest are around the world, as well as the state of some economies) they will all fall with it. What do you all think, is it necessary to retain a certain measure of economic independance? Or is it better to be completely isolationist? Or perhaps do you think that the NWO is the way to go? This whole thing smells of machinations all the way around. ** *** "Welcome to the desert of the real." Morpheus, "The Matrix".

The store now has the full Liberty Library catalog and a shopping cart system! http://www.spotlight.org/store/commerce.cgi? IN THIS ISSUE: Wall Streets Corruption Scandal More On McCain Wall Streets Corruption Scandal A Senate probe has covered up a huge Wall Street cash-wash, which routinely concealed and converted trillions (yes, trillions) of tainted dollars. Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT By Martin Mann Congress scheduled a series of hearings into money-laundering last month, but then adjourned them on the second day, apparently frightened by what it had uncovered. What researchers un earthed amounted to a vast financial underworld in which leading Wall Street banks routinely stashed trillions of dollars for thousands of unsavory clients from some of the worlds worst badlands. Led by Chase Manhattan, the financial flagship of the Rockefeller empire, most major U.S. money centers maintain so-called private banking facilities for special customers with at least $1 million in cash to squirrel away. Private banks cater to clients who dont just want to bank their funds; they need to hide them, said Axel Im mern, an independent in vestment ad viser. Often a New York private banker will cater to this need by setting up a so-called private investment company (PIC) for his client in a secrecy area like the Caymans, where covert money management is protected by law. A PIC is a front, an offshore shell company. Its registered owner is another shell company based in Panama or Switzerland. The private banker in New York controls both fronts. The name of the real owner of the money is now thoroughly walled off from prying regulators, tax collectors ormost importantlycriminal investigators. Banks call such setups fiduciary accounts. The name of the depositor does not even appear in the private banks own accounts, where he is listed only under a code such as CC (Confidential Client) 2201. That was the code used by Amy Elli ott, a Cuban-born vice president of Citi banks private banking division, to hide the $100 million or so in drug payoffs and other rakeoffs deposited with her by Raul Salinas, brother of former Mexican President Carlos Salinas. Citibank also arranged to have the dirty cash brought in by Salinas laundered into offshore accounts. This is best done through conduits called concentrated transfers in which a clients money is mingled with Citibanks own funds. That makes tracing such accounts Just about impossible, Mrs. Elliot admitted in her appearance before the Senate subcommittee headed by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). That Raul Salinas is serving time in Mexico for murder, while under investigation for a number of other crimes, does not affect the case, Mrs. Elliott told the assembled committee. Keep in mind that of the seven or eight [secret] PICs I managed at Citi bank, the Salinas account was by no means the most important. It was one of the smallest and least active, Mrs. Elliott explained. Mrs. Elliotts boss, Citibank executive Edward Montero, subsequently testified that Citibank managed some 40,000 stealthy private accounts. How much suspect cash do those accounts represent? If, as Elliott suggested, most of them are larger and more active than the $100 million belonging to the Salinas family, were talking about hundreds of billions of dollars worth of fugitive funds here, says financial writer Bodo Thalmann. In fact, Wall Streets private banks are estimated to hide an eye-popping $21.5 trillion in such deviously deodorized deposits, according to an unpublished estimate by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the prestigious international economic monitor. WHY? Why does such vast wealth go underground? The Citibank executives at the Senate hearing could offer only halting and lame explanations to that question, arguing that some very affluent clients feared being kidnapped or extorted if their riches were publicly displayed. Thats nonsense, snorted Thalmann. Such deep secrecy is not contrived to hide wealth from kidnappers. It is meant to hide these trillions from the law. The Senates money-laundering hear ings shied away from exploring such potentially explosive issues. This populist newspaper, however, will continue its investigation of this stunning financial mystery that has robbed taxpayers of trillions of dollars.

[CTRL] Project Megiddo: Criminalizing Dissent
-Caveat Lector- From The New American, http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1999/12-06-99/vo15no24_dissent.htm - Vol. 15, No. 25 December 6, 1999 Criminalizing Dissent by William Norman Grigg The FBIs Project Megiddo, which warns against millennial terrorism, paints constitutionalists, devout Christians, hate groups, and militias with the same broad strokes. Project Megiddo, the FBIs "strategic assessment" of potential millennium-related domestic terrorism, represents a significant victory in the radical lefts "long march through the institutions" of U.S. law enforcement. The report, which was unveiled on November 2nd at a conference of the International Association of Chiefs of Police at Charlotte, North Carolina, has been distributed to law enforcement agencies nationwide. While no author is mentioned in the publicly available version of Project Megiddo, its contents are largely indistinguishable from the materials generated by leftist "watchdog" organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which regularly furnish law enforcement agencies with lurid reports intended to catechize law enforcement agencies about the supposed threat posed by the "radical right." This fact was not lost upon John Foster "Chip" Berlet of Political Research Associates (PRA), a Marxist pressure group based in Boston. Berlets vita includes such distinctions as his role in founding the "Chicago Area Friends of Albania," a stint as contributing writer for the drug culture periodical High Times, and participation in numerous Communist front groups, including the National Lawyers Guild. In a November 1st e-mail message to the "Militia Watchdog" mailing list (a restricted list whose membership includes law enforcement and military personnel), Berlet complained that the FBIs Megiddo report "recapitulate[s] previously released reports and conference papers" from both the PRA and the SPLC, among other sources. To his credit, Berlet correctly pointed out that "the way the Megiddo report has been leaked creates a hysterical atmosphere where law enforcement is likely to overreact. Because of superficial reporting, the public is learning to lump together hate groups, militias, terrorists, and devout Christians." As one of the "experts" on "right-wing extremism" frequently consulted by both the media and law enforcement officials, Berlet has done a great deal to advance the notion that Christian conservatives and constitutionalists occupy the same continuum as terrorists and hate groups. Thus Berlets objections should be viewed not as an illustration of his reasonableness, but rather of the FBIs radicalism. Megiddo Genesis During a May 13, 1997 Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on terrorism, FBI Director Louis Freeh disclosed the existence of Presidential Decision Directive 39, which designated the FBI the "lead agency" for counter-terrorism efforts. Freeh also explained that the FBIs new counter-terrorism center "contains representatives of 16 other federal agencies and is dedicated for the first time to a central collection [or] analytical point in the federal government for threats, particularly those regarding domestic terrorism." During the same hearing, as reported in these pages more than two years ago, Freeh stipulated that the chief domestic terror threat emanates from "various individuals, as well as organizations," who possess "an ideology which suspects government and particularly the federal government, of world-order conspiracies individuals who, for various reasons, have organized themselves against the United States." Possession of "ideologies inconsistent with principles of federal government," declared Freeh, could be construed as a marker of criminal or terrorist intentions. While the Megiddo report is clearly a product of the FBIs counter-terrorism center, there are strong indications that the State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT) program was involved as well. As THE NEW AMERICAN recently reported, SLATT is funded, through the Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR), by a grant from the Justice Departments Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The SLATT program is an outgrowth of the 1996 post-OKC bombing anti-terrorism act; its purpose is to provide "anti-terrorism preparedness training" to state and local police agencies, including "pre-incident awareness" training to help identify potential terrorist threats. Documents obtained by THE NEW AMERICAN under a Freedom of Information Act request suggest that SLATT may have played a substantial role in composing Megiddo. IIRs 1998 proposal for the "continuation and expansion" of the SLATT program states that the programs main purposes include providing "state and local law enforcement [with] a general awareness and working knowledge of domestic terrorist and political extremist movements (including ideologies, illegal activities, tactics, and strategies), and provid[ing]
[CTRL] U.S. unprepared for biological attacks
-Caveat Lector- From USA Today, http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/ncstue08.htm - 11/30/99- Updated 11:27 PM ET U.S. unprepared for biological attacks WASHINGTON (AP) - The government's medical stockpiles for dealing with chemical or biological terrorism are poorly managed, often lacking vital drugs and adequate security, congressional auditors said Tuesday. The General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, criticized the Departments of Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs, as well as a special Marine Corps unit, for failing to manage their supplies for treating civilian victims of a chemical or biological terrorist attack. ''The poor management controls and lack of required items in their stockpiles lead us to conclude that they cannot provide reasonable assurance that the required medical supplies will be available if needed,'' the GAO said. The report said the agencies failed to keep good records, conduct regular inventories, maintain their own policies or ensure security. Some of the problems uncovered stem from the complicated relationships between the agencies. Under a national contingency plan for responding to chemical and biological terrorism, HHS's Office of Emergency Preparedness is to coordinate medical assistance. In 1997 they created four national response teams with stockpiles of antidotes, antibiotics and medical supplies. However, Veterans Affairs is responsible for the daily management of the stockpiles, which are spread across the country. The investigators concluded that the HHS emergency office failed to oversee and advise Veterans Affairs, leading to poor management and organization. At one Veterans Affairs location, the entire supply of amyl nitrate, an inhaled drug used as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, had expired eight months before the GAO inspection, the report said. Amyl nitrate, which is also used as a recreational stimulant, was found in other VA locations in unsecured storage - in one case the drug was stored in a staff refrigerator alongside employee lunches. HHS Inspector General June Gibbs Brown, in a letter to the GAO, said her agency has begun working to correct the management and interagency problems. ''We are confident that appropriate management control of our chemical and biological stockpile will be rapidly achieved,'' Brown wrote. The HHS emergency office's inventory of supplies varied by more than 12% from the actual physical stockpile, the investigators said. While most of the discrepancies came from having more supplies than thought, the GAO found important shortages, including missing drugs for treating convulsions and breathing problems. In 1996, the Marine Corps created the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, the only Defense Department unit responsible for treating civilian victims of a chemical or biological terrorist attack. By comparing the Corps' inventory records with its actual supplies, the GAO found that more than a quarter of their stockpile contained record-keeping errors or discrepancies in the amount in stock. The federal stockpiles would respond if state and local authorities were overwhelmed by biological or chemical attacks. In September, emergency management and medical officials told a House subcommittee that local public health systems remain ill-prepared for such emergencies. -- Dan S DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

It's been said before that they would be able to "seize" any and all assets they choose (basically) if Martial Law were imposed. The biggest crooks in the world (Clinton and his kind) would be able to get away with the biggest crimes in history, and blame it all on Y2K. As Commander-In-Chief he controls the military, which is WHY they are all "gung-ho". They are being fed straight from 'the top'. Whether it is a hoax or not, think of what they could reap... Think about the POWER it would give Clinton, which is what he Hillary truly crave. Then, once he cleans up the mess, so to speak, think of how great people would think him to be. His "legacy" would then (possibly) be changed from scandalous to miraculous...after he gets us all through the "horrible Y2K crisis"... fulfilling his desire to be known as "a great president" in the history books (what a joke!). His best friends have said that this is what he plans (Martial Law, National Emergency, etc.), and considering everything else the sicko has done - why wouldn't you believe he will do this?

The plans were also given to the Senate Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem. The staff on hand at the Information Coordination Center have been told to expect a presidential declaration of a national emergency. FEMA staff who will run the regional emergency operation centers have also been told the same thing. "Should it become necessary, a presidential 'emergency,' rather than a 'major disaster,' will be declared, and assistance will be focused on addressing threats to life, health, safety, and property," the Senate committee was told in a report from Lacy E. Suiter from the Response and Recovery Directorate of FEMA. A national emergency will be declared because FEMA officials have concluded that there will be more than 50 simultaneous Y2K-related disruptions throughout the country, which will stretch the nation's local, state and national emergency resources to the limit. The Department of Defense is so concerned that the deputy secretary of defense, John J. Hamre, has issued a memorandum to commanders in the field to be very cautious about using the military to assist civil agencies. Hamre said local requests for help might seem appropriate, but he warned local commanders to be cautious about using the military to help with Y2K disruptions. "Immediate responses that appear rational from a local perspective, but could collectively undermine the department's ability to execute operational missions" should be ruled out, said Hamre. Hamre has ordered commanders to avoid using the military for Y2K problems unless there is a threat to life or damage to property. The

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/#todnews Click Here: A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/#todnews"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Spy vs. Spy Russians Capture CIA Spy in Moscow Not just another pretty face. RUSSIAN intelligence boasted yesterday of catching a CIA officer working under diplomatic cover as she prepared to take delivery of what it called "military-strategic materials" in Moscow. Cheri Leberknight, listed as a second secretary at the US embassy, was detained in possession of a detailed map of the area, invisible ink "tablets" and a device to monitor and hamper efforts to tape her conversations, a spokesman said. Russia's domestic intelligence service also released photographs of Miss Leberknight, who is in her thirties, taken during her detention, as well as the anti-surveillance equipment she allegedly had with her. Alexander Zdanovich, spokesman for the FSB, successor to the KGB, said: "This is pointless to deny. Arresting a foreign diplomat or someone working under diplomatic cover is a very serious step so everything was thoroughly checked." The FSB was clearly elated at the operation's success, crowing that Miss Leberknight was the second female CIA officer apprehended in Moscow. The first, described as Martha Peterson, was caught in 1977. Rivalry between Russian and US intelligence has recently recovered much of the edge it had during the Cold War, with both sides accusing the other of excessive spying on their territory. Rows over espionage have also increased tension over Russia's military campaign in Chechnya and Nato's presence in the Balkans. President Yeltsin's recent walk-out from an international summit in Istanbul was presented at home as a diplomatic triumph and the detention of a CIA officer in Moscow is further ammunition for those whipping up anti-western sentiment. Only what Mr Zdanovich called an operation "of a pre-emptive character" had prevented highly sensitive secrets leaving the country, he said. According to news agencies, the material included information about Russia's nuclear capabilities. Mr Zdanovich denied that the incident was a tit-for-tat reaction to this week's charging of a US navy code-breaker, Petty Officer Daniel King, with passing classified information to Russia. He said: "This was not a response. That is the vocabulary of the Cold War, when the principle of an eye for an eye was in effect." Russia's Foreign Minister, Igor Ivanov, expressed the hope that the scandal would not further damage relations between the two countries. He said: "We hope and consider that it will not prejudice the development of bilateral relations. Nevertheless, naturally, such episodes do not help their climate and atmosphere." The fate and identity of Miss Leberknight's Russian contact remained a mystery and it was not clear whether he was in the area when she was detained in the Izmailovo district of Moscow on Monday evening. The large park in Izmailovo would be ideal for dead letter drops. It is also not far from the FSB's main remand prison at Lefortovo. After her arrest, she was taken to FSB headquarters in the Lubyanka complex, and a US consular official and Russian diplomat were summoned. Miss Leberknight, listed as working in the embassy's political section, was later released but is likely to be declared persona non grata by the Russian authorities and given a short period to leave the country. The London Telegraph, December 1, 1999 Stock Market Record Money Flow into Equity Funds Um, um, I do love that Turkey. US retail investors stepped up their investments in equity mutual funds last month, probably breaking a near four-year-old record for net cash inflows. TrimTabs.com, an investment research group, estimates that net cash inflows into equity mutual funds in November could reach $31.4bn (E31.1bn), as the US bull market revived after a jittery summer and early autumn. If confirmed, this would top the $28.9bn record set in January 1996. Retail investors' taste for aggressively managed funds, including high-growth investment vehicles, has helped power a strong increase in the principal US equity indices. That has in turn attracted more investors anxious not to miss out. Both the broadly based Standard Poor's 500 and the tech-weighted Nasdaq Composite Index have set records in the last week. The two indices have fallen this week, but the Nasdaq is still trading at more than 3,350, having started the year below 2,000. "Earlier in the year, even though these [aggressive] funds were still doing well, people were inclined to put money into large-capitalisation funds," said Russ Kinnel, senior analyst at Morningstar, the mutual fund research group. "This [trend] is a reflection of the fact that tech has been the only story this year - the more tech you have, the better the returns." "Another point of view says the public is being extremely reckless," said Carl Wittnebert, director of research at TrimTabs,

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Two points: 1) Terry Burke was over the Tucson DEA operation when the file on Ark. chicken magnate Don Tyson was opened. A restaurateur in Tucson (his name escapes me) was fronting a cocaine-smuggling operation. Tyson was alleged to be the supplier. Tyson is said to have used some rather unorthodox means of transporting his cargo. When I began researching my second book, "Circle of Death: Clinton's Climb to the Presidency" (Huntington House 1995), I interviewed a woman named Frances, who lived in a very nice house next door to Barry Seal's former "hideout" between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. She had bought the place from Seal, and it was adjacent to his landing strip. Frances was a pilot. She was initially attracted to the beautiful riverside location because of its proximity to the airstrip. One day Frances related a strange story to me. She said that Barry had landed "The Fat Lady" on the strip early one morning, and a few minutes later she heard the neighing of horses. She went out on her sun deck and looked across the gravel road to the airstrip. She saw 5 or 6 horses grazing next to the plane. A few minutes later the horses were herded back into the plane, and it took off. Tyson's DEA file notes that he was believed to have smuggled cocaine into the country in horses. The timing -- 1983 -- is about right. 2) Why do people keep saying the C 123 K on which Hasenfus was traveling, and which crashed in the jungle in Honduras in 1986 (I think that's the year), was "Barry Seal's plane"? It was not. Moreover, if I'm not completely mistaken (and I may be on this point) I believe the N number was traceable to a Ft. Lauderdale aircraft dealer. Odom --- ONElist Sponsor GRAB THE GATOR!

Explosive report from the U.S. Department of Justice says Oklahoma City based federal agents lied in prison death investigation Office of Inspector General report cites major problems in Oklahoma City's FBI Field Office - with far reaching implications - including the evidence in Oklahoma City's Murrah Federal Building bombing . . . by Tom Winters [EMAIL PROTECTED] Copyright © 1999 Utica Publishing Corporation, all rights reserved. See related previous story, "FBI caught in FIB" OKLAHOMA CITY (NOV 24 1999) A detailed 206-page secret report of an internal U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) probe was issued on November 18, 1999. In it are details of serious internal problems and flaws in the Oklahoma City FBI Field Office. That office investigated the 1995 death of federal prisoner Kenneth Michael Trentadue. That same office spearheaded the investigation of the Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building bombing. Investigations into both cases, believed to be unrelated, ran concurrently out of the Oklahoma City Field Office. Chronicle reporters had requested a copy of the report over a year ago and had been assured a copy from the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) when it was completed, and initially assumed that the report had been sent on that basis. The report, which discusses the alleged suicide of a federal prisoner, also roundly condemned the handling of physical evidence in the FBIs Oklahoma City Field Office. OIG investigators recommended that four DOJ employees, including a veteran FBI agent, be prosecuted for perjury before the federal grand jury and/or false statements to federal investigators as a result of their conduct in the Trentadue case. Shortly before press time, Chronicle reporters learned than an internal probe was underway at the U.S. Department of Justice, the goal of which is to determine how Arkansas Chronicle reporters obtained an unredacted copy of the internal and apparently secret Justice Department report. According to a letter faxed to U.S. District Court Judge Tim Leonard in Oklahoma City, on November 24, 1999, by Robert Ashbaugh, Acting Inspector General, OIG investigators are now investigating how the report, which Ashbaugh claims contains secret grand jury material, fell into the hands of reporters. The Chronicle's copy of the report was one which was never intended for release outside the Department of Justice according to OIG spokesman Paul Martin. According to the OIG, such reports are released only after careful removal of information that the DOJ feels is too sensitive for public review. The OIG immediately requested return of the report. After an internal review to assure that no federal or state laws had been broken by Chronicle staff, a decision was made to retain the copy. Since the report is claimed to have secret federal grand jury material in it, OIG officials are now claiming that an intentional leak of the report constitutes a federal criminal act. In his letter to Judge Leonard, Ashbaugh claims that there is a possibility that one of the outside parties receiving a copy of the report on the same day as the Chronicle, are somehow responsible for the leaked report. The report arrived at the Rogers, Arkansas, office of Arkansas Chronicle on Friday, November 19, 1999, only one day after the date Ashbaugh supposedly signed the report. The reports arrival was simultaneous with the receipt of the report by several attorneys outside the DOJ who are involved in a related federal civil lawsuit. The controversial report was created as the result of a bitter dispute that originated in August 1995, when a federal prisoner was found dead in a seventh floor solitary lockup cell in Oklahoma Citys Federal Transportation Center for federal prisoners. When allegedly found by guards, Kenneth Michael Trentadue was bloody, had numerous head wounds and cuts, bruised knuckles, a slashed throat and was said to be hanging from a homemade noose. Prison guards immediately ruled the case suicide. One prison physician assistant, Carlos Mier, according to the OIG report, originally lied to investigators about trying to revive Trentadue. The report says he later recanted his statement. Family members, upon viewing the battered and bruised body, immediately suspec ted foul play and undertook their own investigation. The controversy resulted in a wrongful death lawsuit being filed in the U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in which a number of prison staff as well as the federal government were named defendants. The Inspector Generals investigation came in the wake of what has been portrayed as an independent Oklahoma state investigation conducted by Assistant Oklahoma County District Attorney Richard Wintory. In his report, Wintory concluded that Trentadue had committed suicide in the early

This heresy is properly known as "docetism" ("seeming" or "fooling"). See
John Dart, *The Laughing Savior* (out of print) for a popularized
examination of this and other Gnostic beliefs represented in the Nag Hammadi

HBHG, however, has to be read with about a peck of salt. There is a lot of

Yeshua's crucifixion was faked and it was actually Simon of Cyrene
who was nailed up,
Why Simon of Cyrene? What's the story?
This is one of the earliest traditions of non-orthodox Xianity,
passed on for millennia in the oral tradition, and substantiated
by the Nag Hammadi scrolls. I'm reading about it in HOLY BLOOD,
HOLY GRAIL by Baigent Leigh Lincoln [Dell, 1983]. On page
381 of the Dell paperback they write:
In one undated codex, for example, the Second Treatise of the
Great Seth, Jesus is depicted precisely as he is in the heresy
of Basilides -- escaping his death on the cross by dint of an
ingenious substitution... Jesus speaks in the first person:
"I did not succumb to them as they had planned... and I did not
die in reality but in appearance, lest I be put to shame by
them... it was another, Simon, who bore the cross on his
shoulder. It was another upon whom they placed the crown of
thorns... And I was laughing at their ignorance." (22)
With convincing consistency certain other works in the Nag Hammadi
collection bear witness to a bitter and ongoing feud between Peter
and the Magdalen -- a feud [reflecting] a schism between the
"adherants of the message" and the adherants of the bloodline.
HOLY BLOOD is a fascinating book, laying the groundwork for many of
the conspiracies that are currently under discussion. And it points
out just what a sham Xianity is. Read and learn.

Re: [CTRL] Protesters, Police Clash in Seattle
-Caveat Lector- My strong suspicion, based on personal experience during the peace movement years of the Sixties and early Seventies, is that elements both in the US government and in the transnational business community have decided that the anti-WTO movement represents a major threat to their hegemony, and therefore must be discredited. In any mass demonstration like the events in Seattle, no matter how strongly its organizers are to nonviolence, there will inevitably be some idiots who feel compelled to resort to violence to make their point. And just as surely, there are also provocateurs ready to encourage the violence and fan the flames. The Oligarchy can deal with violence. It *knows* violence, and it knows how to meet violence with violence. *Non*violence is much more of a threat, especially when it includes parallel institutions.

-Caveat Lector- The below article is forwarded from Ira Einhorn in France as his response to the failure of the American media to deal with any of the basic facts concerning the murder of Holly Maddux, and his evidentiary refutation of claims that he is responsible for this murder as is portrayed in numerous recent sensationalized media and "TV docudrama" accounts. To further his search for objective and qualified reporters to document "his side of the story", interested journalists may email to General Agency Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] for their communications to be relayed to Mr. Einhorn by email. [fwd from Ira Einhorn]: FACTS FOR OPENERS The most important aspect of any murder investigation are the forensics: the scientific reports connected to the physical evidence in the case. If the forensics do not agree with the prosecutor's theory of the case, the case is almost certainly a loser for the prosecution. The Assistant DA assigned to my case sent the physical evidence to the FBI instead of using the local expert whose job it was to handle such matters. The FBI turned in extensive reports that refuted every contention about the case that the DA made. These reports were withheld from us for a long period of time - though they were due to us by law. STRIKE ONE Then the evidence was sent to the prestigious scientific lab, National Medical Services of Willow Grove, PA, that did the work on the O.J. Simpson case, with the same result and the same delay in reporting to us. Strike TWO Then in desperation the evidence was turned over to the man whose competence was certainly questioned by being skipped over twice. He turned up some protein by using a test that he invented and that would have been deeply challenged. So not strike three, BUT this is not a baseball game, but a murder investigation in which there is normally one report, not the kind of shopping around described above. When the negative results were finally given to us and announced, the city's major magazine replied with an article that had blood on every page. There is no blood in the case. A badly smashed skull which should spray blood everywhere, as my jubilant lawyer explained to me, produced no blood anywhere in the apartment. There was no blood in the body. The conclusion of my lawyer was that Holly Maddux was not killed in my apartment. It was the off the record conclusion of one of the FBI men who did some of the forensic work. No wonder they went for a second opinion. It was also the conclusion of Kit Green who at that time was Director of the Life Science's Division of the CIA who is an expert in this area of knowledge and who looked into the case. The media went bat shit when I was arrested, came to the conclusion that I was guilty and then resolutely refused to deal with any evidence that contradicted their original assertions and conclusions, BUT did deal with the shopping habits of my wife at Friday market in Champagne - Mouton, so that the people of Philadelphia could read about my dinner the same day that I was eating it. What the prosecutor, Barbara Christie did however was a lot worse. She had a report in her possession that placed Holly Maddux in a bank and identified by three witnesses, six months after her supposed death at my hands. To keep this discovery from us, she shortened the pages of a larger report that was given to us, enabling her to avoid the pagination in the report and pull the incriminating pages out of the report. My lawyer smelled a rat and we eventually got the pages, BUT only after having to file a motion on the matter. This was news. Not a word about it in the press, so then and there I got the drift of things, lost all respect for the law as it was being practiced in Philadelphia and began to think about another life which became a reality when a third factor emerged that decided the issue. A factor I can't talk about as it involves a very paranoid person. Barbara Christie built a career on such fraudulent practice which is now coming back to haunt her, as this recent e-mail note from a lawyer friend indicates: - "Just yesterday and publicized today because yesterday was a holiday - Veteran's Day - came the PA Supreme Court decision (in Com. v. Raymond Martorano and Albert Daidone Nos. 0002 and No. 0003 E.D. Appeal Docket 1998) both of whom were convicted of the murder of union leader John McCollough (Roofer's) in 1984. The prosecutor was Barbara Christie and she carried out a pattern of prosecutorial misconduct which resulted in the first degree convictions being reversed and now, the PA Supreme Court has held that her conduct was so egregious and so calculated to deny a fair trial that double jeopardy under the state constitution bars a retrial. While the decision was 4-3 it is still a real blow to the DA's

Re: [CTRL] U.S. unprepared for biological attacks
-Caveat Lector- At the risk of seeming disingenuous, let me suggest that the REAL threat from bioterrorism does not lie in an attack on American cities. It lies rather in an attack on American agriculture. The most effective way to disrupt society would be to damage or destroy key crops: for example, to introduce a new strain of wheat rust which would wreak havoc with the American wheat harvest. This would affect not only the United States, but all of those other nations that buy wheat from us, like Russia. Consider this: if people get word of an approaching snowstorm that's likely to shut down the city, what three things do they rush to the stores to buy (other than microwave popcorn)? Milk, eggs...and bread. Now suppose that biological agents have been tailored to infect wheat, soybeans, and corn. Without wheat, there is no flour (okay, okay, I know I'm oversimplifying for the sake of argument), without flour, there is no bread. Without corn and soy, there is no feed for chickens and cows, thus no eggs and milk. This approach requires a somewhat longer view than many people are accustomed to, but it could be horribly effective, especially with increasing monoculture, elimination of diversity of plant varieties, and consequent destruction of natural immunities. Use wheat rust for the wheat crop, ergot for rye, mosaic virus for soybeans and corn...and all of those people who went rushing out to buy gas masks and CBW suits will be standing in the ration lines just like all the rest of us. -Original Message- From: Dan S [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 1999 11:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] U.S. unprepared for biological attacks -Caveat Lector- From USA Today, http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/ncstue08.htm - 11/30/99- Updated 11:27 PM ET U.S. unprepared for biological attacks WASHINGTON (AP) - The government's medical stockpiles for dealing with chemical or biological terrorism are poorly managed, often lacking vital drugs and adequate security, congressional auditors said Tuesday.

[CTRL] Police switch to new strategy
-Caveat Lector- http://www.seattletimes.com/news/local/html98/cops_19991201.html Posted at 11:27 a.m. PST; Wednesday, December 1, 1999 Police switch to new strategy by David Postman and Mike Carter Seattle Times staff reporters After losing control of downtown Seattle to renegade protesters Tuesday, police admitted they were caught off-guard despite months of warning. Today, they switched strategies and banned demonstrations in the heart of downtown - an aggressive tactic that carries its own risks. Both approaches are politically touchy for a Police Department that failed to do what it promised: Allow the World Trade Organization to meet in safety, and allow protesters a peaceful platform for dissent. As Seattle police tried to restore peace today, aided today by National Guard troops and the State Patrol, their actions have invited a new round of criticism. Retailers, residents and international visitors are questioning how police let themselves be outsmarted by protesters who, for at least nine months, had made it clear they planned to disrupt the trade talks. Now, constitutional experts are questioning the legality of today's aggressive counter-response by police, who were enforcing a restricted downtown zone of more than 50 blocks. Seattle Mayor Paul Schell has issued a string of apologies since yesterday, admitting the day had not gone as planned. "The last thing I ever wanted to be was the mayor of a city where I had to call out the National Guard, where I had to see tear gas in the streets," said Schell, who pointed out that he was an anti-war protester during the 1960s. "It makes me sick," he said. And by this morning, police officials widely acknowledged they had failed to do an adequate "threat analysis" and were caught off guard early yesterday. The original police strategy focused on clearing streets so that WTO delegates could attend opening ceremonies, even if that meant letting vandals run uninterrupted just blocks away smashing windows, spray-painting walls and tossing newspaper boxes and garbage cans into the streets. "We made a calculated decision to keep the city as safe as we possibly could in the downtown core," said Police Chief Norm Stamper. It's not that police, who had months to plan security for the WTO meeting, did not have warning that things might not go as planned. The demonstrators held a press conference Monday to discuss how protesters would break off from yesterday's planned marches to lock up the city. In a training camp in September, they practiced nonviolent protest, including ways to stop police from breaking up demonstrations. Opposition leaders publicly acknowledged that some demonstrators wouldn't abide by agreements between most organized WTO opponents and the police to avoid violence. "The people we met with did everything they could to follow through on those agreements," said Deputy Chief Ed Joiner. "But quite frankly, we were besieged by a number of others who had no interest whatsoever in going with the program. "Based on the threat analysis we had at the time and the feedback we got from the various groups that were going to protest, we didn't have any way to gauge this kind of behavior, obviously." Chief praises police work Stamper said the police, including departments from throughout King County, did an extraordinary job against difficult odds. The protest organizer most visible in the past months said police should not have been surprised. "Every single meeting I had with the police, I made it very clear that there were lots of groups coming to Seattle, many of which I wouldn't have any control over," said Mike Dolan, deputy director of Global Trade Watch. Dolan said protesters also made it clear that while the organized demonstrations would be nonviolent, that didn't mean they would be law-abiding. "The police told us they would actually wait until the cameras were rolling to film arrests to allow for the choreography of the confrontation to unfold in a dramatic way," Dolan said. "We sat in the City Council chambers and at the Labor Temple and they told us, `We've done this so many times' and regaled us with stories of peaceful arrests and easy street actions." Stamper said those plans couldn't be followed: "The demonstrators, particularly those bent on violence and destruction, used techniques that made it extremely difficult for us to respond in the moment with anything resembling mass arrests." Police officers yesterday showed restraint and personal compassion in some instances. Some helped wash tear gas from the eyes of demonstrators, and a few were seen comforting protesters who had been detained. Yesterday, Schell and Stamper praised the peaceful demonstrators. But in the end, nearly everyone on the street - violent and nonviolent protesters, as well as bystanders - got gassed. Protesters locked arms to prevent WTO delegates and others from crossing key streets. To ensure that delegates could make it safely

Om K - 37 THE ROAD TO CUBA The destination was St. Martin, normally about a three-hour trip, but which, because of the storm, took most of the day. Instead of following the island chain, as usually done, the Realitie, equipped with Satnav (satellite guidance) and compass, went directly across in twenty-foot waves. The craft was built for rough weather, but as it lurched into troughs with sickening speed, Vesco's helpers were keenly aware that they could drown, ending the fugitive's dreams as well as their own. Vesco remained below, afraid of being spotted, though there were no other vessels in the vicinity, peering through portholes for search planes, though there were none. As they neared St. Martin, Vesco came topside and had an altercation with Gray, the mustached ice man, about what course Potter should follow. Gray won that and the subsequent battles. The Realitie docked at Philipsburgthere was no customs check in the duty-free port, though they were requiredbut Vesco, who had shaved his beard, became agitated at the sight of cruise ships, convinced he'd be recognized. Harley rented a car, for cashnothing must be on paperand surreptitiously picked up Bob at the quay. All four went first to Little Bay, as Harley remembers, to another hotel and then to Mullet Bay, where Vesco burned papers he'd brought, flushing them down the toilet. They all lived and ate in the same suites. Vesco would let no one out of his sight, perhaps in fear he'd be turned in. At night he would nod fitfully, rise, pace, peer through the windowsalways on guard against the FBI, which he saw everywhere. The fugitive spoke of people who would come from the States to aid him, but only one did, a young man who left almost immediately. Vesco phoned Don Pepe Figueres for help once more, without results. But on the evening of the second day on St. Martin, a Mexican Gulfstream jet, whose pilot had some sort of diplomatic status, arrived to fetch him. It has been supposed that the plane was arranged for by Carlos Lehder-Rivas, the Colombian drug king. The next morning, Vesco refused to fly on it. He was convinced that the FBI would interdict him at the airport. He wanted to reboard the Realitie, but Gray asked the raving man, "Where would you go?" At last, Vesco gave in and Harley drove them to the airport. Vesco wanted to board at the end of the runway, but the Mexican captain wouldn'the taxied to the terminaland Gray and the fugitive, pretending to have been on board already, slipped through customs. jumping into the plane with the sack of money brought from Antigua, Vesco hid on his hands and knees in the aisle to avoid being seen until the plane was ready for takeoff. "His spirit," said Gray, "was broken." Vesco had his fall-backs as usual. The Salude was off nearby St. Barthelemy, and a colleague flew in after the fugitive had departed to make sure he escaped. Vesco always managed to muster loyalty because people felt sorry for him, because he appealed to their sense of adventure, and because they expected the supermillionaire to pay them well. He badly disappointed the Antigua group as he had others. Harley, who expected $100,000 for his services, received $3,000, and Gray only got the used Toyota, parked on an Antigua street as a ruse, which he was somehow supposed to divide with the Rea litie's owner. But everybody was glad to have the famous fugitive off their hands. Vesco's position was unenviable by any standards. He had no safe place to go. He pinned his hopes on Costa Rica because of Jose Figueres and the hospital in San Jose. Exacerbated perhaps by stress, his urinary problem had returned. But whether the Ticos would accept him was unknown. The jet probably flew him to Mexico from Colombia, and from there he employed two aircraft to confuse the control tower at Llano Grande International Airport in the northern part of Costa Rica, not too far from the Guanacaste finca. One plane landed briefly at an airstrip, and Vesco was picked up by a car whose driver may not have known who he was. After, perhaps, a short stay at the ranch, he was taken to San Jose in early April. Vesco called Don Pepe, who summoned Enrique Carreras. "Do you know who's here?" he asked. Carreras said, "Don't tell me. Vesco." Figueres nodded silently, and Enrique groaned. "Vesco was beside himself," Carreras recalled. "He complained of being ripped off wherever he went. He needed a sanctuary for himself and Pat and a place where Patrick would be in school. And his health was terrible." For the moment, the question for the Costa Ricans was where to shelter Vesco. The Figuereses had La Lucha, but everyone knew that Don Pepe hid people therenot just political refugees, as frequently in the past, but those who had fallen into trouble in the United States and

MR. DEKKER: His egomania-he told me once that he runs the central bank. SENATOR HAWKINS: He has a big ego, doesn't he. MR. DEKKER: Yes. SENATOR HAWKINS: What was Vesco's relationship to the Cuban government, in your opinion? MR. DEKKER: At that moment, very strong. If it is still that way after the disasters, I do not know.* [* "Role of Nicaragua in Drug Trafficking," p. 39. Hearing before the subcommittee on Children. Drugs and Alcoholism of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, United States Senate, 1985. Dekker is Jitze Kooistra.] For Cuba, Vesco would be quite as difficult as he had been for Costa Rica, only in a different way. Though Fidel Castro said that Cuba harbored the then-ailing fugitive for humanitarian reasons -as it undoubtedly did with a quirky, ideological, anti-Yanqui twist-the Cubans entrusted him with hard-found dollars, supported him financially, and handed him a bill for $880,000, according to the fugitive. What happened well illustrated Cuba's plight, partly the result of antagonism between it and the United States. In the mid- 1950s, Cuba's per capita income had been one of the highest in Latin America. Twenty-five years later it was far from that. Cuba does not provide extensive statistics, but its economists declare that comparisons are meaningless because they don't take into account that, under Batista, wealth was concentrated in a few hands, nor would economic statistics reflect great advances in education, medical care, support for the elderly and so on. Nonetheless, Cuba-just as Costa Rica needs U.S. support-requires the $4 billion in annual aid it receives from the Soviet Union. The Cubans, while faulting their own bureaucracy, corruption, and inefficiencies, also blame the country's condition on the U.S. embargo and military expenses forced on it by the United States. Cuba was prepared to employ unusual means, and one was Robert Vesco. If the fugitive had ceased to pretend he was a major investor, he did rave about his high-level contacts, and a friend, listening, said, "Don't bullshit these guys." Vesco snapped, "How do you think I've gotten by all these years?" Because he sounded knowledgeable about real estate, the Cubans involved him in a plan to develop Cayo Largo, off the southern Cuban coast, as a tourist resort. Customs formalities would be waived, private ownership permitted, hotels and condos built, and investments encouraged. There might have been a banking setup of some kind. It was the sort of enclave that had attracted Vesco before. It was reported that the eighty-eight pairs of $6,000 classified infrared night-vision binoculars confiscated at a Florida dockside were a Vesco-arranged shipment for Cuba. A much larger Vesco importation attempt was established by the U.S. Attorney in a Brownsville, Texas, trial in November 1983. The spring before, a subsidiary of Ingersoll-Rand, California Pellet Mill Company, with offices in San Francisco, received an inquiry from what appeared to be a Costa Rican outfit called Cominsa, later changed to Imbagua, an acronym In Spanish for water-pumping equipment. A man representing both companies, Jose MacCourtney, negotiated the purchase of ten of California Pellet's mills plus extra equipment. In payment for the first shipment, a check from Barclays Bank in Nassau for $712,337.50 was deposited in California Pellet's account at the Bank of America. Another apparent Costa Rican named Luhr was also involved. Luhr was Meissner's mother's name and appeared on his Costa Rican passport. Meissner denied any knowledge of the deal but said Vesco well knew his second last name. The company produced machinery that compacted fine substances into dense solidsranging from animal food to municipal waste conversion into fuel. Still another application was treating the residue from sugar-cane processing, bagasse. Bagasse can be converted into briquettes for fuel for a refinery's boilers. A refinery could thus be made self-sufficient in energy and perhaps have fuel pellets to sell. The equipment Imbagua bought was a recent model and probably the best of its kind. At about the same time MacCourtney came to San Francisco, a car dealer from West Columbia, Texas, Richard S. Bettini, received a phone call from an old acquaintance. On instructions, Bettini always referred to the man as a "friend," so as not to prejudice the jury. The friend was Vesco, who, the prosecutor reminded the judge, "absconded from the United States with 300 million dollars." Vesco wanted to talk about old times in Detroit. Soon after, Pat Vesco called from Houston and Bettim said he would like to visit. Vesco phoned again, suggesting that Bettim fly to Cancun, Mexico. He was met there by a pilot to take him

SOMETHING HAPPENED, BUT WHAT?
Like a vein of pure gold, riches glitter deep in the American dream. But
dreams aren't meant to be interpreted literallyyou must poke around in them
to learn what they have to say, be it unconscious wishes or buried warnings
about the future. The American dream isn't to be carried to extremes, even by
those who attempt to claw their way to the top as the dream seems to urge.
Restraints exist on those who would overstep; powerful prohibitions govern
economic behavior, not merely against cheating and lying but
excessiveness-too much ambition and greed.
Through smarts and luck, Vesco achieved the financial objectives of the
American dream. When he gained control of Bernard Cornfeld's undisciplined
IOS, he set his sights on becoming a world-class capitalist. What he lacked
in education (a sore point with him), experience, and maturity, he tried to
make up for by ingenuity, determination, and trickiness. In a circle that
held the possibilities for good and evil, Vesco could make the full swing
without trouble until he reached the last twenty degrees, and there ran into
a blindspot. With IOS he had, as they say, the world by the tail, but he
began to overreach.
Oddly perhaps, considering the emphasis he placed on his own mental
abilities, a basic charge against Vesco was poor judgment. He erred in
assessing how far rules could be bent without others perceiving them as
broken, and "if everything that's right doesn't always look right," as Vesco
said, a case can be made that everything ought to look right as well as be
righta disparity between the two being cause for caution, of which Vesco had
little. Instead, in his hubris he defied the governmental gods and fell.
There is an Italian word for this, probably the longest in the Italian
language, precipitevollssimevolmente, meaning, roughly, "If you climb too
high, you fall suddenly to the same spot you started from."
Vesco and his cohorts, for example, tried to set themselves up as venture
capitalists, which was in the entrepreneurial spirit, all right, except that
they used other people's money, not what they raised themselves, treating the
IOS entities as a private preserve. ("We were trying to give the guys
"Meissner, LeBlanc, Graze, and Strickler"a chance to do their thing.") The
risks they took with other people's money increased as the SEC isolated them.
And the human price was high. One German wrote the receivers that he was not
only unemployable he was broke. He was a multiple amputee and had invested
all his money in Venture Fund.
Vesco suffered from a shortcoming common enough in his native landbravado. A
more seasoned individual would probably have "walked away" from his overseas
acquisition after SEC hostility toward it became apparent. Instead, convinced
by topflight legal talent, itself victim of hubris, a liking for high fees,
and, as a result, a poor analysis of consequences, Vesco proceeded according
to plan, thus challenging the mighty and selfrighteous SEC. Vesco became a
business rebel, but it wasn't as though he had a noble cause, only money and
pride.
After the SEC accused him and others of looting, Vesco stumbled into a trap
from which, given stubbornness and a certain romantic braveryVesco always
maintained the United States persecuted him unjustlythere was no escape,
especially after his campaign contribution to Nixon was revealed. Terrified
of prison and convinced he would never get a fair trial, he made himself into
a new sort of financial adventurer, a con man who persuaded several small
nations that he was something like a private World Bank. Essentially a
right-winger, he turned to Communist Cuba, where he inevitably ran into
trouble again because of his manipulativeness and pathology.
Having concluded that Vesco had crook potential, the SEC intervened and a
fiscal Greek tragedy was in the works. Over comparatively trivial
(considering the consequences: the destruction of IOS) machinationsVesco's
takeover, which might have been viewed as a clever and distant ploy, and his
misstatements about the ownership of Cornfeld's IOS sharesthe SEC subjected
Vesco's company, International Controls, to the toughest investigation it had
ever launched, having as the objective the enforcement of a consent order
with IOS (the SEC had agreed to leave the company alone provided it did no
business in the United States) to which it attached an almost religious
fervor. Vesco and the Commission became obsessed with each other. The agency
deeply wanted to bring an alleged criminal to justice.
Vesco's movement of money out of an IOS fund$20 million from Venture to
LeBlanc's Globalswas designed, in part, to eliminate the SEC from the
picture but achieved the opposite. The Commission bore down even harder, not
only because it searched for any opportunity to prove the
[CTRL] Brain damage confirmed in vets reporting Gulf War syndrome
-Caveat Lector- Brain damage confirmed in vets reporting Gulf War syndrome Copyright © 1999 Nando Media Copyright © 1999 Associated Press By BRENDA C. COLEMAN CHICAGO (November 30, 1999 3:37 p.m. EST http://www.nandotimes.com) - Brain scans of soldiers who believe they suffer from Gulf War illness indicate evidence of brain damage, possibly from chemical exposure during the 1991 conflict, researchers reported Tuesday. "This is the first time ever we have proof of brain damage in sick Gulf War veterans," said James Fleckenstein, a professor of radiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He said the study could not confirm how or when the brain damage occurred, but that signs point to chemical exposure and it is reasonable to suspect that it happened during the war. "There's hope, now that these guys have a disease," he said. "They can be believed - they're not malingering, they're not depressed, they're not stressed. There's a hope for treatment and there's hope for being able to monitor the progress of the disease." As many as 30,000 veterans of the war have complained of mysterious maladies, including fatigue, joint pain and memory loss, that they say are related to their service in the Gulf. A presidential panel looking into Gulf War illnesses said in August that it can't pinpoint causes of the ailments and recommended further study into whether there are potential genetic reasons. In the new study, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which uses radio waves to measure body chemistry, found that veterans who believe they have the illness have up to 25 percent lower levels of a certain brain chemical than healthy Gulf War veterans. Lower-than-normal levels of the chemical, N-acetyl-aspartate, in the brain stem and basal ganglia suggest a loss of neurons in those areas, said the researchers, who were to present their findings Tuesday at the 85th annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. The brain stem controls some of the body's reflexes. The basal ganglia are switching stations for nerve impulses controlling movement, memory and emotion. The basal ganglia, for example, are where the malfunctioning occurs that causes Parkinson's disease. Fleckenstein said treatments are being explored by his colleague, Robert Haley, an associate professor of internal medicine and chief of epidemiology at UT Southwestern. Haley helped define Gulf War syndromes and identify toxic exposures associated with the likelihood of having them. He also revealed enzyme abnormalities that may be linked to the disease. Fleckenstein said brain scans of 22 sick veterans revealed levels of N- acetyl-aspartate 10 percent to 25 percent lower than those in 18 healthy veterans. The finding held up in an additional six sick Gulf War veterans drawn from a different part of the military. The study was blinded, meaning radiologists interpreting the results did not know which patients complained of symptoms and which were healthy. Researchers believe soldiers who became ill were those who had a genetic vulnerability to certain chemicals used in the war, including nerve gas, the insecticide DEET, pet flea collars some wore to repel pests and the drug pyridostigmine bromide. PB was administered to as many as 250,000 soldiers in the belief it would protect them from the toxic effects of nerve gas. Last month, the Pentagon raised the possibility for the first time of a connection between Gulf War illness and PB. It said more scientific study is needed before it can confirm or rule out a connection. Lt. Col. Dian Lawhon, a spokeswoman for the Department of Defense's office for Gulf War illnesses, which helped fund Fleckenstein's study, said her office could not comment on the findings until it sees a complete report. Only an abstract was available. "This is part of our continuing effort to find out what might be making Gulf War veterans sick," she said. "We haven't seen anything that would say that they found the smoking gun, though." The brain scan study was reported on the same day as the release of a series of Pentagon-ordered reports that said focusing on the danger of traditional weapons could mask less-obvious, long-term hazards to troops. "Even in the absence of widespread acute casualties from battle, war takes its toll on human health and well-being long after the shooting or bombing stops," said one of the reports prepared by the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council. The reports offered some criticism of past Pentagon strategies for protecting troops, citing a natural tendency to focus attention on known hazardous agents and saying that "too much attention on them may result in other hazards being overlooked."

-Caveat Lector- Hi all- I've talked to a number of people this week who've noticed symptoms. Some who've never noticed any before are noticing high pitched ringing. It is probably that there is a harp thing going on, likely in honor of WTO. This would cause synergistic effects with other locally caused phenomonen. It is believed that some of the experimental local equipment is being used experimentally on the local operatives, as well as the targets. There is no way of completely directionalizing or shielding that is yet developed. People ALL OVER are complaining of the aerial spraying and repeat sinus/bronchial afflictions. It's important to be sure of good nutrition- and eliminate low-level toxins. This cannot be too strongly stressed. Long term flouride consumption (tap water also contains deadly poison chlorine), aspartame, neotame, chemical food additives, etc.. various noxious chemicals in "household" products and cosmetics.. too much TV or computer video radiation, all have negative synergistic effects which make one more susceptible to illness or symptoms from ELF other frequency harrassment. A relatively meatless diet (or at least get free-range type) is best- Fresh cooked foods, NEVER microwaved food or liquid ( ! ) lots of green leafy stuff, a good amount of raw vegetables salad (organic if at ALL possible.. eating half as much organic would give more essential nutrition than conventionally (poison, chemicals, genetically engineered) grown/farmed foods. A B-vitamin supplement could be a good thing short term- though it's not too good to get the body into relying on supplements instead of balanced nutrition. B-vitamin deficiency is associated with lethargy, irritability, paranoia, oversensitivity to noises. Magnesium deficiency is associated with anxiety, panic attacks, palpitations, muscle spasms, cramps (night cramps especially), insomnia, fatigue, asthma and heart problems/palpatations, even heart attack. Muscle/nerve twitching will be lessened or stopped in many cases with magnesium/potassium/calcium supplementation... magnesium being the "key," but needing balance with the others .. 600mg magnesium divided in 3 or 4 doses over a day can stop panic attacks and cramping. Foods that contain these three minerals are: wheat germ, sunflower seeds, soybeans, almonds, brazil nuts, pistachios and pecans. Easy to make up a trail mix to snack on that contains several of these. Also, if possible- drink fresh organic vegetable juice /or fruit juice daily.

Whereas the United States Canal in Panama, linking the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, is one of the most strategically important naval choke points in the world, essential to our national defense and vital to our economic well-being; Whereas occupation, damage, or destruction of this crucial waterway by a hostile power whether an unfriendly Panamanian government, terrorist organization, or other foreign government could be calamitous to the United States in time of war and disastrous to our economy even in time of peace; Whereas the Republic of Panama does not have an army, navy, air force, or other military or police capability adequate for the defense of such a strategic asset; Whereas the communist government of the Peoples Republic of China has been pursuing an aggressive expansionist agenda in Panama, the Caribbean, and Latin America, while, at the same time carrying out a concerted and much-publicized campaign of bribery and espionage reaching to the highest offices of the United States; Whereas Hutchison Whampoa, a front company for the Peoples Liberation Army of China, utilizing corrupt practices, has acquired leases giving it control of the ports of Cristobal and Balboa at the Atlantic and Pacific ends of the Panama Canal, positioning the Peoples Republic of China for de facto control of the Canal; Whereas the Peoples Republic of China, through its agent, Hutchison Whampoa, is also in the process of taking over the Rodman Naval Station and other military facilities being abandoned by the United States, and has the exclusive authority to hire the pilots who control all traffic through the Canal; Whereas the Peoples Republic of China, a totalitarian regime, refers to the United States in its military literature and official Communist Party statements as its "main enemy" and has aligned itself with other communist regimes and terrorist states avowedly hostile to the United States; Whereas China expert Dr. Michael Pillsbury of the National Defense University testified to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in September 1997 that the Chinese military officials have written extensively of their nations intention "to defeat the United States"; Whereas in spite of these manifest dangers, the Government of the United States is pursuing a policy of transferring possession, ownership, and control of the Panama Canal and Canal Zone, which includes the United States military bases, to the Government of Panama, in accordance with the 1977 Carter-Torrijos treaties, which were never legally ratified by either the United States or Panama; Whereas in their respective instruments of ratification, the United States and Panama did not agree to the same text of the treaties, and, in fact, each party stipulated to conditions that are in fundamental conflict with, and mutually exclusive of, the demands of the other;
[CTRL] In 2000, it's China Canal Clinton admits Beijing to control
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! -- -- In 2000, it's China Canal Clinton admits Beijing to control crucial waterway through Panama -- -- By David Kupelian © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com President Clinton admitted yesterday that the Communist Chinese will, in fact, run the Panama Canal when the United States pulls all of its troops out and relinquishes control of the vital waterway Jan. 1, 2000. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office before leaving on a trip to the west coast, Clinton addressed the issue of the imminent U.S. surrender of the American-built multi-billion-dollar canal. "I supported it at the time and I still support it," Clinton said, referring to the controversial 1978 treaties signed by then-President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian dictator Omar Torrijos, requiring U.S. surrender of the Panama Canal to the Central American nation at the century's end. "I think it's the right thing to do," the president said. Clinton noted that the United States would be represented in Panama for the year-end change-over by former President Carter, whose administration negotiated the treaties, and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Carter "deserves enormous credit" for winning Senate passage of the treaties, which, Clinton added, were "very controversial, immensely unpopular. A lot of the members of the Senate ... had their seats put in peril over it," the Associated Press reported. As the year end approaches, increasing congressional and military warnings about America's imminent loss of control of the canal have been dismissed and scoffed at consistently by the Clinton administration. During yesterday's announcement, Clinton, once again, at first brushed off concerns -- voiced most recently by former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Thomas Moorer -- that China is preparing to take over the canal once the United States leaves. Moorer has asserted publicly that China plans to seize control of the canal through a Hong Kong company, Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. -- a firm widely believed to have close links to the Chinese military -- which has won rights to operate ports on both ends of the canal. But then, in disarmingly unambiguous words, the president openly admitted that China will, indeed, control the Panama Canal after Dec. 31. "I think the Chinese will in fact be bending over backwards to make sure that they run it in a competent and able and fair manner," Clinton said. "They'll want to demonstrate to a distant part of the world that they can be a responsible partner," the president said. "And I would be very surprised if any adverse consequences flowed from the Chinese running the canal." But the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is very concerned about "adverse consequences." "I am appalled," Moorer told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview, "that the president would make such a statement, and that his advisers would mislead him to this degree. If what he says takes place, and the Chinese are allowed to remain and increase their presence, the results will be catastrophic for the U.S." "If we have to go back in to restore the canal to its previous position," he said, "there will be many casualties, and they won't be confined to the canal area itself. Our inability to move our forces back and forth (through the canal) will result in casualties of our forces in other parts of the world." If the U.S. is prevented from navigating through the Panama Canal, it must travel an extra 9,000 miles around South America. Moorer added an ominous warning regarding China's strategic use of the canal. "No one seems to grasp the threat to the U.S. that can be posed by Chinese container ships. When the Russians brought missiles into Cuba, American citizens went into a panic," said Moorer. "But now, following the lead of the president, Americans are practically ignoring" China's ability to do the same. A Chinese dissident who spoke to WorldNetDaily on condition of anonymity, echoed Moorer's concern. "The chinese Communists don't have a sufficient number of long-range ICBMs, and those they do have don't have sufficient accuracy," he said, "even though they are drastically improving them, thanks to U.S. technology. But the shortage of ICBMs can be compensated by, one, submarines, and two, an enclave close to the U.S." Larry Elgin, president and counsel of U.S. Defense-American Victory, commented, "I believe that the game is not over." Regarding his organization's lawsuit challenging the imminent relinquishing of the canal to Panama, Elgin noted: "If the treaties are invalid because they were never fully formed ... then it will be up to Congress. The canal itself may never transfer." "The Clinton administration is supremely overconfident and arrogant," added Elgin. "This is a deep

[CTRL] Clinton's Panama Canal admission
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! -- -- Clinton's Panama Canal admission -- -- Was it a Freudian slip? Was it a gaffe? Or was it President Clinton finally being honest about something for the first time in his life? I refer to the statement he made yesterday with regard to the Panama Canal transfer to a group of reporters in the Oval Office before leaving for the West Coast. In case you missed it elsewhere, the quote I am about to give you from Clinton was recorded, albeit buried, in an Associated Press story. Here it is, folks. Hold on to your hats -- especially all of you people who scoffed when I began telling you three years ago that the Communist Chinese were taking over the Panama Canal. "I think the Chinese will in fact be bending over backwards to make sure that they run it in a competent and able and fair manner," Clinton said. That's verbatim. Those are his words, not mine. Clinton, who has until now denied that the Chinese were to take control of the strategic canal, admitted it publicly. And, as if to underline his admission and seemingly to ensure there could be no misunderstanding of his words, Clinton elaborated. According to the AP story, he compared the operation of the canal to China's campaign to win admission to the World Trade Organization, which sets the rules for global trade. "They'll want to demonstrate to a distant part of the world that they can be a responsible partner," the president said. "And I would be very surprised if any adverse consequences flowed from the Chinese running the canal." Oh, absolutely. Responsible. Partner. Competent. Fair. Those are all words I readily associate in my mind with the totalitarian government in Beijing. Don't you? Well, there you have it, folks. Goodbye Panama Canal. The Bamboo Curtain just moved into the Western Hemisphere -- officially, that is. After all, I gave you this history long ago. I told you about the fact that a Chinese government company -- a front for the military -- Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., was to begin operation of the ports on both ends of the strategic waterway Jan. 1. It has been the Clinton administration and its many apologists in Congress and the press who have laughed, ridiculed the idea. Chinese military shill Alexander Haig suggested I should be jailed for making such accusations. And now the truth has finally come out through an unusually candid admission by Clinton. He is telling us now what has been obvious to anyone familiar with the transfer of the canal. He is admitting what former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Thomas Moorer stated in our pages some time back. Clinton says we can rely on the good intentions of the Chinese to maintain access to the canal. Doesn't that reassure you? The Chinese, who, as we speak, are rounding up tens of thousands of religious dissidents and interning them, threatening to attack Taiwan and working overtime on developing military technology that could only be used to attack the United States, should be trusted on this Panama Canal deal because it's a chance for them to show how responsible they really are. This is nuts! When are the American people going to wake up? Clinton is so embarrassed by this deal on the canal that he is not even going to attend the transfer ceremonies. Why? If he doesn't have any second thoughts and believes giving away the Panama Canal to a hostile foreign power is still a good idea, why not go wave the flag next month at the ceremony? The answer, of course, is simple: It's not a good idea. It's not good politics. Clinton knows what he is doing and has been hiding the truth since the beginning. As is his character, he does not want to be held responsible. Nor does he want Al Gore and his political party to pay a price for this move. If ever there was a time -- an opportunity -- to pressure the politicians to reverse what will someday be judged a historic blunder, it is now. If you really have the guts to stop this thing, America, wake up and take action now. You won't have to risk your life to write a letter to your senators and representatives in Washington or fill out a simple online petition today. Your kids, however, may someday pay for our mistakes with their blood if you sit silent through this official treachery.

[CTRL] China presses reunification with Taiwan
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Tuesday, November 30 6:30 PM SGT China presses reunification with Taiwan, pledges accelerated reforms SINGAPORE, Nov 30 (AFP) - Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji said Tuesday Beijing wanted peaceful reunification with Taiwan but would also never renounce using force to bring the island back to the mainland. "I just want to re-emphasize and reiterate that it is our hope that the country can be reunified by peaceful means, but we will never undertake to give up the use of force," Zhu said during an open forum after delivering his address at a lecture. "The overwhelming majority of the countries in the world that have relations with the People's Republic of China -- they all adhere to the 'one China' policy. There is no hope, no ground for two states theory," he said. His remarks come amid reports in Taiwan that China is building a missile base in Fujian province, directly opposite Taiwan, and that Beijing had deployed nearly 100 of its newest short-range missiles targeting Taiwan. The question from the forum arose following his remarks pledging China's commitment to accelerating reforms and opening up its markets as a responsible member of the world community. China claims sovereignty over Taiwan, which split from the mainland at the end of a civil war in 1949. Asked if China would use its position in the World Trade Organization to resolve cross-strait problems, Zhu rejected the idea. "One thing is for certain: That if mainland China, the People's Republic of China will become a member of the WTO ahead of Chinese-Taipei then we will not allow people to use the WTO as a forum to create two Chinas," he said. The United States and China reached a deal on November 15 paving the way for China's entry into the WTO. Top US officials have said in Washington that the United States has also reached an agreement with Taiwan on its membership of the WTO. China, which is not yet a WTO member, is attending the WTO ministerial meetings in Seattle as an observer. At the lecture, Zhu spoke about China's efforts to accelerate reforms, as he acknowledged "insufficient effective demand, increasingly conspicuous inadequacy in the economic structure and greater pressure of unemployment" as China's biggest problems. To address these problems, China would expand domestic demand and boost economic growth through the issue of long-term development treasury bonds and by channeling residents' savings into development funds for infrastructure and upgrading of enterprises. Beijing will pursue its reform of state-owned enterprises, rely heavily on scientific and technological innovation and progress, and implement a strategy to fully develop the vast and resource-rich areas of western China, he said. He reiterated China's non-belligerent stance in the region, saying it was committed to achieving regional peace and stability. "China faithfully observes the political consensus reached with ASEAN and stands ready to continue to safeguard the healthy atmosphere and momentum of dialogue and cooperation," he said. Zhu arrived in Singapore Monday from the summit of leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, where he bolstered China's role as a key political ally committed to market reforms despite territorial disputes with its smaller neighbors. -- -- **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] How Many Are Leaving Over Anthrax Shots?
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Air Force Times Published: 12-06-99 Category: NEWSLINES Page: 26 How Many Are Leaving Over Anthrax Shots? / Units Won't Count Resignations Until The Pilots Are Out The Door By David Castellon A New York congressman tells a congressional subcommittee more than two dozen Air National Guard pilots from his state's 105th Airlift Wing have resigned rather than receive anthrax vaccinations. A spokeswoman for the wing says nobody resigned over the shots. Who's telling the truth? Both are -- depending on how you interpret the available information. And such interpretations are sources of many headaches for people on both sides of the military's anthrax controversy. For example, a pilot for the 105th at Stewart Air National Guard Base said that at least 23 C-5 Galaxy pilots turned in resignations in the six months prior to October, when the wing was scheduled to begin its first round of mandatory vaccinations. The pilot, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said wing leaders told the pilots they would hold the letters until the end of December so people would have time to reconsider. But when Hurricane Floyd hit the East Coast in late September, it knocked out power to the refrigeration system at Stewart, ruining stores of the vaccine. So 105th leaders rescheduled the shots for May, when a new batch of vaccine is due. The pilots rescinded their resignation letters so they can continue flying -- at least until their immunization time again grows imminent. With no resignation letters in their hands, wing leaders can say they've had nobody resign over the shots. Brig. Gen. Thomas Maguire, commander of the 105th, would not comment Nov. 23 on whether his pilots did turn in resignation letters. "I really don't want to discuss this with the Air Force Times. I have talked truthfully ... on the situation involving our anthrax [vaccination program]," he said. But it's not just supporters of the mandatory vaccinations who may be spinning the facts their own way. For weeks, messages circulated on the World Wide Web about a Wisconsin Air National Guard member who collapsed from a heart attack after receiving his anthrax shot. But a spokesman for the 115th Fighter Wing at Truax Field said that while a guardsman did experience heart problems after receiving the shot, both civilian and military doctors determined the problem had nothing to do with the vaccine. Also clouding the issue is the number of unanswerable questions about the vaccine and its effects, said Robert Newman, press secretary for the House Government Reform national security subcommittee, which held several hearings this year on the vaccination program. Among the most pressing is how many people are leaving the Reserves and Air National Guard over the shots. "We don't even keep those [statistics]. There is no tracking method for anthrax" because units don't have to ask why people leave a unit or the service, said Jack Hooper, a spokesman for the National Guard Bureau in Washington. An Air Force Reserve spokesman offered similar comments. Another problem is that some people who initially ask for release from the service or transfers over the shots change their minds, Hooper said. For example, he said, eight A-10 Thunderbolt II pilots from the Connecticut Guard's 103rd Fighter Wing in Hartford asked to be transferred or released from service earlier this year over the vaccinations. "But when the smoke was clear, only two left," Hooper said. "Yes, there is a frustration," said Eric Friedman, press secretary for Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., chairman of the subcommittee. "For instance, the head of the Air National Guard [Maj. Gen. Paul Weaver] testified under oath that there was only one documented case of people leaving because of the vaccine when there were four people who had departed or transferred sitting behind him when he said it," Friedman said. "[Weaver] later said he meant only one pilot with an outstanding commitment." Some of the most heated controversy surrounds how many people have suffered side effects from anthrax vaccine. Of the 371,526 people who took the shot as of Nov. 17, 406 reported adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. But several military members who oppose the mandatory anthrax vaccinations say the actual number may be two or three times that. Part of the reason for the discrepancy, they say, is because military doctors are discouraged from filing VEERS reports. Defense officials have denied those claims. Maj. Frank Smolinsky, a spokesman for Dover Air Force Base, Del., said claims "that people are walking around sick from the vaccine" at his base are untrue. Of the 80 Dover cases reported to VEERS, base doctors have linked only five directly to the shots, and those were just mild allergic reactions, Smolinsky said. He added that the Mayo Clinic's

DEMOCRACY? REP. DENNIS KUCINICH A letter to President Clinton initiated by Rep. Kucinich (D-Ohio) and signed by 113 House Democrats says: "The WTO infringes on the sovereignty of nations to enforce worker rights. A proposed bill to ban products made with child labor is WTO-illegal..." Speaking to World Trade Watch, a daily national radio program co-produced in Seattle this week by the Institute for Public Accuracy, Kucinich stressed "how important it is for the people to stand up for their rights." The congressman said that a basic issue is citizens' "control over civic institutions and over their own government... that people can make decisions about clean air, clean water, human rights, better health care, better retirement. If private interests are simply running things, then that means that people are at their mercy... The market is not going to be parceling out democratic rights." Kucinich warned of "sacrificing human existence on the altar of the great dollar bill." He specifically criticized the Clinton administration's plan for a working group on labor conditions as "simply window-dressing" that lacks real substance or power. LAURA LIVOTI, www.radioproject.org Managing director of the National Radio Project, Livoti was interviewing activists and onlookers on the corner of 6th and Union in Seattle on Tuesday morning. As the police began massing in full riot gear, Livoti - wearing her WTO press credentials - was telling a police officer that she was a journalist. Still, a policeman [badge number 4409] hit her in the back with a baton. She was then sprayed directly in the face with pepper spray and was blinded for 15 minutes until an activist medic treated her.

The transnational-controlled policies from these organizations are increasing human misery and destroying the environment, resulting in global protests." MARTIN KHOR, [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.twnside.org.sg Director of the Third World Network, Khor said: "There is a lack of democracy and transparency within the WTO - the whole decision-making process is shrouded in secrecy. The U.S. objects to any vote being taken, and wants decisions to be made by 'consensus.' But in reality what this means is that decisions are made by the major powers, and others are threatened and cajoled into going along."

[CTRL] Protests banned around WTO meeting
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Protests banned around WTO meeting Police beef up presence; hundreds arrested Wednesday, December 1, 1999 SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF (Last updated 1:15 p.m.) Seattle police today declared a "demonstration-free zone" around the site of the World Trade Organization convention and immediately began arresting protesters entering the area. More than 200 people were in custody by midday, far exceeding the number arrested Tuesday when violence broke out in downtown Seattle as thousands of protesters tried to disrupt or halt WTO meetings. President Clinton, in town to meet with trade ministers from around the world, condemned the demonstrators who were involved in violent protests and vandalism. But he welcomed the peaceful protesters and told a Port of Seattle audience that he believes there should be greater public scrutiny and participation in world trade issues. In addition to imposing the no-protest zone today, Seattle police also banned anyone from possessing, using or selling gas masks in the city, under authority of a "civil emergency" declared Tuesday night. Some protesters have donned gas masks to stand their ground against police, and the no-gas-mask order gives officers the edge if they choose to use tear gas or pepper spray to disperse crowds. The no-protest zone (see map) covers about 50 city blocks around the state Convention and Trade Center, where most WTO activities are being held. Police officials said this morning that their initial tactic to try to let demonstrators and conferees coexist was inadequate. For more coverage, see our WTO index. Also see our Tuesday photo gallery. -- -- That became quickly evident Tuesday when scattered violence and vandalism broke out, prompting police in riot gear to use tear and pepper gas, rubber bullets and clubs to stop the demonstrations. A security guard inspects a broken bank window. Dan DeLong/P-I Damage in downtown was considerable -- broken windows, spray-painted buildings, looted stores and damaged goods. The opening session of the WTO had to be canceled, and many delegates were blocked from attending later WTO sessions. "The plan (Tuesday) was designed to allow both events to occur at the same time," said Ed Joiner, assistant chief of operations for the Seattle Police Department. "It didn't work." Joiner told a news conference the new tactic, in effect through the WTO convention, prohibits any demonstrations in an area bounded by Lenora and Seneca streets, and Fourth and Boren avenues. Officers wasted no time in implementing his order of "immediate arrests if any protesters go there." Even protesters who stayed outside the no-demonstration zone this morning caused some disruptions, with several running onto Interstate 5 at midday, others trying to block traffic on downtown streets and still others sitting down in intersections. The police presence was extensive throughout the downtown core today, and officers had little patience for disruptions. "We have the ability to make the number of arrests that are going to be necessary," Joiner said. But, just like Tuesday, the majority of demonstrators did not defy police. Many peacefully gathered to express their concerns about world trade, the WTO or particular policies. The civil emergency that allowed police to impose the no-protest zone in downtown Seattle was imposed Tuesday night by Mayor Paul Schell, who also ordered everyone out of downtown until sunrise. (See story on yesterday's demonstrations.) Police dispersed protesters with tear gas Tuesday. Dan DeLong/P-I As part of the order, National Guard units and State Patrol troopers were called in to relieve and back up local police. Authorities wanted to be ready to control any demonstrations that erupt today, when President Clinton is in town to attend WTO meetings. Joiner said police have "a large number of additional resources" today and "we're going to be very mobile." In contrast to the scores of protesters arrested today, fewer than 70 were arrested Tuesday. In addition, injuries have been infrequent.

Despite the outbreak of violence and vandalism Tuesday that shut down the city's core, the majority of protesters demonstrated peacefully when WTO delegates from 135 nations started their difficult round of talks aimed at reducing barriers to international trade. The WTO is essentially a committee of its member governments, operating by consensus as the members try to forge agreements to eliminate protectionist tariffs. But the movement to free trade around the world has become increasingly controversial as many tariffs are removed and countries increasingly challenge the non-tariff barriers to
[CTRL] Clinton Renews Call for More Gun Restrictions
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Clinton Renews Call for More Gun Restrictions Issue Is Theme Of West Coast Fund-Raising Tour Associated Press Wednesday, December 1, 1999; Page A18 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30âPresident Clinton, who lost his fight for new gun control laws this year, began pressing the issue anew today during a West Coast fund-raising tour for Democrats and a gun control lobby. "We haven't done everything we should do to make this the safest big country in the world," Clinton told Democratic politicians and donors in San Francisco. The White House failed to get new restrictions on gun sales at private gun shows and a requirement that a firearm safety device be sold with each gun to reduce the number of accidental shootings, the president said. "It's not just crimes that are the problem," Clinton said. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee estimated that the San Francisco luncheon would bring in more than $500,000 for congressional candidates. The benefit was part of the president's three-day trip to California, Washington state and Pennsylvania, with Democratic fund-raising bracketing an address to the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle on Wednesday. Later today, entertainer Whoopi Goldberg was set to introduce the president at a glitzy Beverly Hills party benefiting Handgun Control Inc. and its West Coast legal and research office. Handgun Control's most prominent figure is Sarah Brady, the wife of former White House press secretary James Brady who was shot during the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Others associated with the organization are entertainers Barbra Streisand, Billy Crystal, Susan Sarandon, Rosie O'Donnell and Beau Bridges, who portrayed Brady in a 1992 TV movie on his life. Tickets to a reception honoring the sixth anniversary of the enactment of the Brady law--which required background checks on firearm buyers--cost $250 each. A seat at the subsequent exclusive dinner with Clinton required a $10,000 donation. The White House marked the law's anniversary by releasing new public safety figures. The Clinton administration said the Brady background check system has helped block more than 470,000 gun sales to felons, fugitives and others barred by law from owning a gun. In the year since an add-on "instant background check" took effect, the Brady system has stopped more than 160,000 illegal sales, the White House said. "These numbers, of course, are not just numbers," Clinton said in a statement. "They represent lives saved, injuries avoided, tragedies averted. They are a measure of what we can do to reduce gun violence, and a measure of what still needs to be done." As he signed the $390 billion omnibus budget bill Monday, Clinton noted that gun control is still on his to-do list, saying: "To curb gun violence and keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and children, we still need sensible gun safety legislation." Handgun Control, the nation's largest gun control group, this year increased lobbying outlays about fivefold over 1998 levels. It spent $340,000 from January through June, compared with $60,000 during the same period in 1998, according to reports filed with Congress. Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association, the country's best-known advocate of gun owners' rights, reported that it poured $850,000 into its lobbying effort during this year's first six months, compared with $750,000 a year ago. **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

OPINION
The West squanders billions in Kosovo, while a life in India is valued at 30
cents
Weep for poor Orissa The state of Orissa is the poorest, loveliest, most
primitive, least visited in all of India. It runs south of Calcutta down the
Bay of Bengal, where lies a greater concentration of poverty than anywhere on
earth. Orissa has one of the world's highest rates of infant mortality. It is
one of the few places experiencing endemic starvation.
Three weeks ago on the night of October 29, a storm of rare force hit Orissa's
long, low coastal belt. A "supercyclone", with winds above 150mph and a 20-ft
tidal wave, laid waste the wide delta of the Maharadi River. Some 12 million
people were instantly homeless. Casualties will always be unknowable. A single
aid team recently returned from Ersama, where they estimated 10,000 corpses
were still lying in the open. Thousands more were submerged in paddy fields or
washed out to sea. A million people have nowhere to live. The head of the
American agency CARE remarked that nowhere in the world had he seen such
devastation. Why are we standing idly by?
Orissa's sugar crop has vanished, weeks before harvest. Eighty per cent of its
coconut trees have gone along with most of the rest of its trees. Roads,
railways, power lines and telecommunications are no more, to an estimated value
of $2.3 billion. The local Internet websites offer an horrific commentary on
the frantic relief effort. Even the internecine foreign charities have pooled
their identities under the Orissa Disaster Mitigation Mission. A carcass
disposal team is needed here, a cholera team there, drips, vitamin pills,
medicine everywhere. Pleas come in, over and again, for polythene sheeting and
blankets as winter commences. Technology can offer a hotline to hell, yet not
transmit so much as a woollen blanket. The cyclone ranks as one of the
catastrophes of the century. So why do we stand idly by?
I can tell you why. Orissa is far away and boring. The whole ritual of Western
humanitarianism, boasted so bravely in Yugoslavia, is a sham, cover for the
exploitation of foreign affairs for domestic ends. "Humanitarian intervention"
is code for political and military meddling in the internal affairs of
sovereign states - and damn the consequences. Show a politician an opportunity
to strut the ethical stage, and the thin red line of heroes is up the ramp of a
Hercules in hours. But an old-fashioned, low-tech calamity such as Orissa is
for wimps. There are no soundbites or bang-bangs in Orissa.
Those who opposed British intervention in former Yugoslavia were chided as
"standing idly by". How could we "just do nothing" when Bosnians and Kosovans
(if not Serbs) were evicted from their homes and even dying? In vain might we
plead that intervention was likely to make matters worse. In vain did we
suggest that what began as an aid convoy escort would end up taking sides, even
shooting and bombing those to whom it supposedly had brought charity. What
began as humanitarian action in Yugoslavia has so far cost $11 billion in
warfare alone. A further $60 billion of cost (according to the Economist
Intelligence Unit) has been inflicted by the Nato intervention. That does not
include the blocking of the Danube. At the end, more people are displaced than
at the start. If the Balkans is the outcome of "not standing idly by", God
stand up for idleness.
Last week, Mark Littman, QC, argued in a measured pamphlet from the Centre for
Policy Studies that Nato's Kosovo intervention was illegal by any standard of
international law. If a new world order is to be established, its claim to
military authority over pariah states must be supported by law, or the action
merely compounds the brigandage. Mr Littman shows Nato treating international
law with contempt. His case has yet to be refuted. One attempt, a letter to
Tuesday's Times from the Blairite MP Gareth Thomas, claimed that Nato's
bombardment of Yugoslavia was legal, lest we "stand idly by in the face of an
unfolding humanitarian disaster". That is not law. Russia might say the same as
it bombards Grozny.
We stand idly by all the time. We cannot wipe away the tears of the world with
a rag. But when we try, we owe the world the dignity of consistency and
proportion. The liberal instinct, now boldly released from Cold War bondage, is
behaving like a crazed pinball. It bounces from Somalia to Iraq to Burma to
Afghanistan to Rwanda to the Congo to Sierra Leone to Yugoslavia to East Timor.
It descends from the sky, enriches some, kills others, pollutes, smothers or
ignores. Where once we sent charity, we now prefer guns. Guns are the true
"nationalisation" of charity. They are macho intervention.
As I write, British and American bombs are still falling on Iraq in what
purports to be the cause of "humanitarianism". Was a word ever

Kissinger Rebuts Clinton Co.'s Claim that C.T.B.T.
Was Defeated by Partisan Politics, Isolationists
(Washington, D.C.): In the wake of the United States Senate's decisive
rejection of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) last month, President
Clinton, Vice President Gore, their senior subordinates and other zealous
advocates of arms control sought to obscure this defeat -- if not set the stage
for a renewed ratification bid -- by propagating several untruths.
Specifically, they claimed that: the Treaty was no given serious attention by
the Senate; there were "no hearings"on the matter; there was insufficient time
for debate; and no opportunity to amend the resolution of ratification.
Arguably, the most insidious and misleading of such falsehoods, however, was
the endlessly repeated claim that partisan politics and isolationist impulses
were responsible for the Senate's action. This contention, which was parotted
by foreign governments, opinion-makers and editorialists around the world,
impugned the integrity and gravitas of every one of the fifty-one Senators who
voted on the merits to reject this fatally flawed accord. To his credit, former
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger -- who was one of many prominent former
Cabinet officers and other experts who recommended against Senate advice and
consent to the CTBT -- wrote a syndicated op.ed. article that appeared in the
Los Angeles Times on 21 November calling such claims "absurd." Dr. Kissinger's
should be the last word on this defective accord and the "traditional,
toothless" variety of arms control of which it is a prime example.
The Washington Post, November 26, 1999
Arms Control to Suit a New World
Henry A. Kissinger
The Clinton administration's reaction to the Senate's refusal to ratify the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty threatens to erode the bipartisan approach that
has sustained U.S. foreign policy even within the administration. President
Bill Clinton condemned the vote as a symptom of militant isolationism, and the
State Department notified foreign governments that it still considered itself
legally bound by the treaty. All this has tempted some foreign leaders to
question the credibility of America's international role.
It is high time to put an end to name-calling. The treaty failed because the
end of the Cold War has transformed global strategic conditions and the nature
of arms control. No doubt, isolationists, in different guises, exist on the
extremes of both parties. But it is absurd to blame the Senate vote on an
isolationist cabal when six former secretaries of defense, four former national-
security advisors and four former CIA directors opposed ratification, while
four former secretaries of state, myself included, refused to endorse it.
The deadlock between administration righteousness and senators' lack of
confidence in the administration's security policy has revived the acrimonious
arms-control controversies of the early 1970s. Yet, the key issue--the
transformation of the nature of arms control with the end of the Cold War--has
been almost totally submerged.
When nuclear stockpiles reached tens of thousands of deliverable weapons and
war threatened the extinction of humanity, individuals in and out of government
began to advocate the then-unprecedented proposition that the holders of these
vast arsenals might negotiate to mitigate nuclear danger by limiting their
nuclear buildups and establishing some rules for deployment. The purpose was to
reduce the risk of surprise attack, accidental war or war by momentum, such as
World War I. The result were two agreements in the 1970s limiting the number of
delivery vehicles on both sides. However controversial, the accords were
maintained throughout the Cold War by administrations of both parties,
including President Ronald Reagan's.
This "strategic" approach to arms control, which always insisted on retaining
the option of modernization and never took risks with verifiability, was nearly
overwhelmed by assaults from two opposite directions. One came from a "radical"
theology of arms control, which sought to base U.S. security on guaranteeing
the maximum destructiveness of nuclear war. Advocates of Mutual Assured
Destruction insisted on leaving civilian populations totally vulnerable to
nuclear attack. Hence, they opposed any kind of defense against nuclear
missiles and tried to thwart any modernization as destabilizing. Their goal was
to prevent war by imposing strategic nuclear passivity on the United States.
The difference between the strategic and radical schools of arms control was
illustrated by their respective attitudes toward nuclear testing. True, the
"strategic" arms controllers negotiated an underground test ban. But unlike the
current version of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the

Dear All
I think the following is very interesting. The person who wrote these notes
is known to me and is absolutely 100% reliable. I have amended the account
slightly to protect the anonymity of the person who appears to have risked
considerable trouble in speaking out in this way. The opinions do not
exactly come as a surprise but to come from a person in that position is
fascinating. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the nature of Stroboscope
Talbot who has the reputation of being a dove as far as I knew... Some of
the remarks about "genetic pool" etc. suggest that some of this persons
views are suitable only for well... the US military!
An account of a conversation at the Whitehall demo in London
I was standing outside the Ministry of Defence talking when I was
approached by someone who asked:
"Who's in charge of the demonstration? I'm an American, and I think there
are some things about this war that you need to know: your newspapers here
have not given you an accurate picture of what actually happened."
This person was from SHAPE headquarters, working closely at the Joint
Operations Centre with Gen. Wesley Clark, an acquaintance of many years.
The military ID and personal card from the JOC, both appeared 100%
authentic, - but pleaded not to be identified ("I would lose my job
immediately".
"I spent the entire war working with Clark, a man who has an entirely
misguided view of who was who in YU (although I don't like Milosevic at
all)."
The conversation lasted about an hour. With hindsight, it is my strong
view that the person was asking to be quoted - albeit as an unattributable
source.
principal points arising
1. claimed that "NATO was dragged kicking and screaming into this war".
Stated that although the NATO countries had agreed to the October 1998
resolution that force could be used against YU, no-one - with the
exceptions of the UK and USA - had had the slightest intention of
implementing the resolution
2. "the only individuals who wanted this war were Clinton, Albright,
Holbrooke, Talbot, Blair, and Cook". Confirmed that Blair was easily the
most hawkish of this group
3. suggested that Clinton was more supportive of the bombing than some UK
media sources implied
4. stated that Albright was simply a front for the Secretary of State's
office with no real clout, and that Talbot was the real force behind the
bombing - once Clark had convinced him YU was a pushover, and that
Milosevic would seek a settlement within days of the bombing starting.
Albright also subscribed to the view that YU was a military patsy, despite
all intelligence reports to the contrary
5. Holbrooke was never sympathetic to the YU position, and welcomed the
Rambouillet ultimatum as a means of pressurising the YU government
6. "it would be easier for me to tell you that there were real political
and military objectives involved in the bombing of YU - but this wasn't the
case, whatever you might think." Stated that Clark had an "irrational
obsession" with Albanian independence, and could not be persuaded that the
KLA were anything but freedom fighters pursuing a glorious and rightful
cause
7. confirmed that NATO never had any exit strategy from the war once they
had begun the bombing - and that this remains the case with the occupation
of Kosovo
8. confirmed that Clinton was never, at any time, prepared to consider a
ground force entering YU. He did agree however to allow it appear that his
position on this had changed, in order to give Blair the opportunity to
play the hawk, supported by his US ally
9. "Blair's entire attitude to the war was based on what it would do to his
domestic position. He was only concerned with what the British people
thought, and whether they supported him - not whether the bombing was
militarily effective or politically desirable"

Re: [CTRL] Disarming the New World Order-- Chossudovsky

Capitalist imperialism in Kosovo. Corruption and despair in Eastern Europe. Religious backlash all over the world. Astonishing concen- tration of wealth to the already rich. The re- merging of Standard Oil. Merger mania among corporate giants. These are all visible disasters. And all this when the economy is good in this country.

[CTRL] [1] The CIA and The Politics of Heroin
-Caveat Lector- from;: http://www.lycaeum.org/drugwar/DARKALLIANCE/ciah1.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.lycaeum.org/drugwar/DARKALLIANCE/ciah1.html"T he CIA and The Politics of Heroin/A - An Interview with Alfred McCoy by David Barsamian Conducted at University of Wisconsin-Madison, February 17,1990 Alfred W. McCoy is professor of Southeast Asian History at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Educated at Columbia and Yale, he has spent the past twenty years writing about Southeast Asian history and politics. This is interview with Alfred McCoy took place while McCoy was steeped in research for, and writing his second book, The Politics of Heroin; CIA Complicity In The Global Drug Trade. The interview is conversational and speculative, and as McCoy points out in the interview, one must be very precise specific about what one writes in order to be taken seriously. Nevertheless, McCoy's speculations are dynamite and make this interview worth reading. Part One Barsamian: This is David Barsamian and my guest is Alfred McCoy, author of "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia" and "Drug Traffic: Narcotics and Organized Crime in Australia". Alfred McCoy is Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. In your book, The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, you demarcate very carefully that the United States was poised at the end of World War II, in 1945, to... I don't have your exact words ... to terminate the problem of drug addiction in the United States and it could have done so but for forces that I'd like you to discuss - was unable to do so. McCoy: The problem with America's failed chance at essentially reducing if not eliminating drugs as a problem was a contradiction between the needs of domestic policy and the national security state. After World War II the United States became a global power and set up a number of agencies to exercise this global power, most importantly the executive agency known as the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency when it was ultimately formed in 1948. The CIA, in order to conduct its campaign against communism, which was seen as an overweening evil that had to be stopped, was willing to ally with anybody and everybody that could provide during what was seen as a critical period, some strength, some support in the global struggle against communism. In Europe and Asia the CIA allied themselves with major drug brokers and organized crime syndicates. In sum, what they did was to create a mainline flow of narcotics from the Middle East through Europe to the United States which dominated America's drug markets until the 1960s. At the same time, the CIA was forging alliances and protecting the traffickers in Europe, for reasons of intelligence. They also formed similar alliances in Asia - alliances which were actually deeper and had much more profound and lasting impact on the Asian drug trade. As the European trade began to diminish in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the second stream, the flow of Asian drug traffic came into the United States and supplanted the old Turkey- Marseilles heroin connection. But, ultimately, when you look at the source of supply and the politics that provided drugs to America in the post-war era, you came down to this contradiction between the weak drug policy and same kind of vague commitment to doing something about drugs versus a very high profile, very important effort to contain communism globally. In this balance between an inarticulated, poorly formed narcotics policy and a very clear national goal of containing communism, narcotics policy was barely considered. The CIA in this era was dealing with governments, intelligence chiefs, warlords, gangsters, traffickers of all sorts - good character was not considered of moment. The only thing that counted during the period from the late 1940s through the late 1960s was containing communism. Barsamian: You trace the involvement of the Mafia - the U.S. Mafia - in the promotion of narcotics trafficking in the United States. How did the politics get involved with the Mafia? McCoy: We have to step back a bit to the origin of the drug problem. Since the 1800s western societies - Europe, Australia, America - have had very extensive drug problems. Now, you can really divide the western world's century of mass drug abuse into two convenient periods. From the late 1800s to the present we can split it down the middle. From about the 1870s when you get big-time mass consumption of narcotics to the 1920s drugs were legal. The name "heroin" for example, was a trade name coined by the Bayer company. In 1898 they came up with a new product which seemed to be very good for respiratory ailments. They put it on the market and called it "heroin." That's where the term comes from. It's a trade name coined by one of the world's major pharmaceutical manufacturers. The next year, 1899, they came up with another

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.lycaeum.org/drugwar/DARKALLIANCE/ciah2.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.lycaeum.org/drugwar/DARKALLIANCE/ciah2.html"T he CIA and The Politics of Heroin/A - An Interview with Alfred McCoy by David Barsamian Conducted at University of Wisconsin-Madison, February 17,1990 Part Two Under this forced regime of occupation where you had the Nationalist Chinese forces backed by the CIA occupying the mountain areas, the prime opium growing areas in northeastern Burma, Burma went from maybe 7 or 8 tons of opium production per annum to anywhere up to 1,000 tons of production by the time the CIA's mercenaries were driven out in 1961. A thousand tons would have been, in any given year, up to 60 and 70% of the world's total illicit opium production coming from this one area as a result of a decade of CIA-Nationalist Chinese occupation. The other Southeast Asian area was as you describe. Until 1950 France had an opium monopoly in Indochina. They were under pressure from the United States and UN to clean up. They signed the Segal(?) Convention on Narcotic Drugs with the United Nations and they abolished the opium monopoly. But it didn't disappear. The opium dens and opium shops were simply transferred from the French Ministry of Finance to French military intelligence and they, in turn, turned them over to a criminal syndicate that was running Saigon for the French, using their funds to buy daily intelligence and ferret out communist terrorists in the streets of Saigon. The communists were running a terrorist campaign against the French. A Frenchman would sit down in a cafe and a 12-year-old boy would come up to him and put a gun to the back of his head and shoot him and disappear into a crowd. That's the kind of operation. The French were powerless to control that and they set up a very elaborate intelligence apparatus to try and stop that terror. Money was the fuel that drove that engine and the money came from drugs. Moreover, there were Corsican syndicates that dominated the inner-city economy of Indochina, based in Saigon. They began exporting to Europe where part of the so-called Marseilles connection which has been celebrated in films - the connection where it's supposed to be opium from Turkey coming through the laboratories of Marseilles and then on to the United States - part of that production - we don't know how much - in fact, came from Saigon. So, it's as a result of French counter-insurgency efforts in Indochina where they integrate narcotics into their intelligence operations, but primarily it's as a result of CIA operations in Burma that we get the so-called Golden Triangle where it's northeastern Burma and the adjacent area of northern Laos going into high-scale production. When the Americans moved into Indochina after the French departed in 1955, we picked up the same tribes, the Hmong, the same politics of narcotics, the politics of heroin, that the French had established. By the 1960s we were operating, particularly the CIA, in collusion with the major traffickers exporting from the mountains not only to meet the consumption needs of Southeast Asia itself, but in the first instance America's combat forces fighting in Vietnam and ultimately the world market. Southeast Asia today, by the way, is the number one source of American heroin. That's our major source. So it's those very mountains of Burma, those very fields that were cleared and put to the poppy as a result of this Nationalist Chinese-CIA counterinsurgency intervention policy - that army that the CIA maintained there - that's supplying America's addicts today with illicit heroin. Barsamian: Was the anti-communist ideology so powerful and so strong that the CIA would risk the worldwide opprobrium of being linked with drug trafficking? Why would they take that risk? McCoy: It's easy. Look, it's effective. I interviewed a guy named Lt. Col Lucien Conein who, since I published my book now despises me, and I asked Col Conein why they worked with the Corsicans in Saigon, for example. He said that there aren't very many groups that know the clandestine arts. When you think about the essential skills it takes to have an extra-legal operation - to have somebody killed, to mobilize a crowd, to do what it does when societies are in flux, when power is unclear and to be grabbed and shaped and molded into a new state - you want to overthrow a government and put a new one in - how do you do it? Who does this? Accountants? - They go to the office every day. Students? They go to classes - they're good for maybe one riot or something, but they've got to get on to medical school or law or whatever they're doing. Where do you get people who have this kind of skill? You have your own operatives and they're limited. Particularly if you're a foreigner, your capacity to move something in the streets is very limited. You know, sometimes you

I mean, they didn't care about that; they didn't worry about it. Once it was out of the mountains and out of the labs they didn't think about it very much. Now, what's the legacy of Laos. Well, the legacy of Laos, I think, is something that nobody's really thought about. Let's look at it. For ten years the CIA's biggest operation was completely integrated with the structure of the Indochina opium trade. The capacity of that army to fight and move, the capacity of those people to survive and to keep replacing soldiers (because they were killed by the tens of thousands). We were fighting with boy soldiers by the time it was over. I mean, those soldiers had to keep delivering the troops. The whole apparatus was integrated with the opium trade, the whole secret war apparatus was part of the opium trade. We ran that war through Vang Pao. He was a general in the Laotian army, but more importantly, he was the CIA's general. Now, Vang Pao was not from a traditional elite family. He was never very popular with the Hmong, certainly not at that time. And his capacity to get recruits out of the villages once the war started taking heavy casualties and people were seeing one and two and three sons dying, his capacity to extract more and more recruits to keep that war going relied upon him being able to pressure those villages. I was in a village in Laos that stopped sending recruits and the CIA cut off the rice supply and those people were pushed to the brink of starvation. They had lost all the males down to the 14-year-olds. The village and district leader didn't want to send the 14-year-olds. "This is the next generation," he said. "If we lose these kids, then we will disappear. We won't produce another generation. We can't do this." And so he said no, we've been doing this for six or seven years now, we've lost everybody, we're not going to do it any more. So they cut off his rice. The other thing that Vang Pao had was the opium. Remember, they had the two basic commodities - rice to survive and opium for cash to buy everything that they needed. So Vang Pao became the big opium broker for the Hmong and, as such, he gained extraordinary power over their economy and thus over their lives. So that by controlling those two products, opium and rice - the supply of rice and the export of opium from the villages - Vang Pao controlled those villages and could force them to support him even after the casualties began to mount. My metaphor for Vang Pao is kind of like a Judas Goat. Do you know what a Judas goat is? In the stockyards, I don't know if it's still done, but let's say when you're leading sheep to the slaughter, there's a goat that will lead the sheep through the maze of the stockyards and then, as they're heading into the chute, the Judas goat jumps aside and the flock of sheep go pelting through to get hit with electrodes or hammers and be slaughtered. That's how you have to think of Vang Pao - as kind of like a tribal Judas goat leading the males to the slaughter. Except, the Hmong are not like sheep - they know what's going on - they know that they're being slaughtered. It's not like they're being slaughtered in one room at one time - they're being slaughtered slowly over a decade. So how does he get to keep leading them? Through the control over these two products. You've got, then, a CIA secret war which in an essential way, in a fundamental way is linked with the opium traffic. More than that, it appears that a number of CIA operatives as individuals got involved. They started smuggling, started wheeling, started dealing and started doing a couple of bags here and there. We know, for example, there's a famous case of a CIA global money-moving bank called the Nugan-Hand bank which was established in Australia. The founder of that was a Michael John Hand. He was a green beret who was a contract CIA operative in Laos. When he first came to Australia in 1969-1970 Australian federal police got intelligence on him - I've seen the files - saying that what he's basically doing is he's bringing down light aircraft that are flying from Thailand to northern Australia into those abandoned air strips that were left over from World War II and he's dealing heroin. That's what Michael John Hand, according to Australian federal police intelligence, was doing. So, as individuals CIA operatives were getting involved and more or less what you've got then as a result of Laos is that the policy of integrating intelligence and cover operations with narcotics gets established. You get, then, an entire

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.lycaeum.org/drugwar/DARKALLIANCE/ciah4.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.lycaeum.org/drugwar/DARKALLIANCE/ciah4.html"T he CIA and The Politics of Heroin/A - An Interview with Alfred McCoy by David Barsamian Conducted at University of Wisconsin-Madison, February 17,1990 Part Four Australia had no drug problem in 1975. They now have a drug problem with heroin, as large in proportion as the United States. It came from the same period. So you suddenly have two big new markets - not only America as your destination. Well, meanwhile, American dealers can't get their stuff from Southeast Asia so they turn to Mexico. Mexico booms, Mexico gets closed down and then they turn to Southwest Asia - Pakistan and Afghanistan. In short, what you get as a result of this attempt at suppression is an elaboration of global trafficking routes - not just one big market, America, but now three big markets - Europe, Australia and America. And not just one major source, Turkey, but in fact, the whole of this mountain band of Asia is ready to supply the world. There's now been a disruption with cocaine in Central America because of all this pressure and there's been some disruption in Afghanistan. Southeast Asia is now number one. In short, what we have then is an elaboration of trafficking routes - more areas of consumption, more areas of production, more tightly knit together so that the attempted interdiction complicated the global trafficking to the point that it's now beyond any interdiction effort. I would think that the probable consequences of the Bush attempted interdiction in Latin America will be similar. You can't predict quite how it's going to work out, but based on what we know from the Nixon drug wars, it'll make the problem worse. Barsamian: And in your view, the enforcement effort has been totally compromised? McCoy: Well, yeah, the enforcement effort such as it is. Although, you know, it's usually run by bureaucrats that are reasonably dedicated to what they're doing. If you meet drug agents and you talk to them about what they're doing, they believe they're trying to do something good. They think that keeping drugs out of America is a good thing to do and I think that everybody would agree that these guys are doing an important job. That's why we keep hiring more of them and they get killed like Camarena in Mexico and take a lot of risks. I'm not talking about them, okay? But what are they essentially trying to do? What are these drug agents trying to do? They're trying to find out who the drug brokers are, they're trying to get the drug brokers arrested, they're trying to get the host government where they're operating - whether it be Mexico or Thailand - to use their very substantial police forces to crack down on the drug lords. The next thing they're trying to do is to cut the connection between 'Thailand and Mexico or Central America and the United States. So, over the short term, they're trying to stop the drugs, make seizures, disrupt it. Over the long term, identify the traffickers, the brokers and their political supporters, and get these guys out of business. That's the job of the anti-drug bureaucracy. It's only been a strong bureaucracy now for about 15 years, since the Nixon war on drugs they beefed the DEA up and it keeps getting beefed up. One of the things that will happen as a result of the Bush drug war I expect will be another major expansion of the DEA. Working against that has been the Central Intelligence Agency. Because of their mandate to stop communism or to run a secret army in Laos or to harass the Nicaragua government with the contra operation - because they've had a political covert action mandate- they have found it convenient to ally themselves with the very drug brokers the DEA is trying to put in jail. While you're working with the CIA you are untouchable. The CIA backs you up. There are instances of minor traffickers being arrested in the United States for importing drugs and the CIA will actually go to the local police and courts and get them off and out because oftentimes they threaten to talk, make trouble, so the CIA just gets them out. What the CIA does in these known instances it does more broadly. I, for example, had reason to gather evidence based on talking to American officials in my own inquiry that the Chief of Staff of the Royal Laotian Army and the commander of the CIA secret army was involved in drugs. What happened when I made this allegation? The CIA did everything to discredit my allegations. They attacked me. 'They didn't attack Vang Pao who was operating a heroin ring. They didn't go after General Owen Radicone(?) who had the world's biggest heroin operation - they went after me! They tried to suppress my book, they threatened to murder my sources, they spent $25 million in staging a massive opium burning by the Nationalist Chinese

Attackers first compromise hundreds or thousands of unprotected systems using widely known vulnerabilities that have not been patched on those systems. The attacker then installs network traffic generator programs on each of those machines. When the attacker identifies a site to close down, he/she tells all of the hidden programs to attack at the same time, and uses instructions hidden in ICMP Echo Reply to give the command.

The Ugly Secret
EMF Epidemiology Studies Are Misleading Us
EMF in our environment is so widespread ("ubiquitous" is the word
currently being used) in our modern industrial electrified western
societies that it is becoming more and more difficult to find
control groups which have not been exposed! Or have been only
minimally exposed!
It should be evident to most objective readers, the issue is
certainly NOT ... what we now can say has been "proved."
The issue is: what is the WEIGHT of the evidence telling us?
From: "Roy L. Beavers"
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998
Subj: The Ugly Secret, EMF epidemiology studies are misleading us...
snip
The following is a shortened and revised version of Mr. Beavers
paper "San Antonio meeting report" and "Blue World" revisited,
which appears on The EMF(guru) web-page on the internet at:
http://www.feb.se/EMF-L/EMFL-1-98.html
By Roy Beavers (EMFguru)
This report is being prepared immediately following my return
from the San Antonio (Jan 12-14, 1998) meeting of the EMF RAPID
review process, which is being managed and conducted by the
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).
So far, they are doing a good job of conducting an open and
unbiased review process which is not "tilted" to protect
industry interests at the expense of the public.
But, "The proof," as they say, "is in the pudding." The
distortions of truth (which have occurred so frequently in the
past in this EMF saga) RARELY occur at the working level. The
dishonesties begin to appear when the work of the (by and large)
dedicated, objective and conscientious "working" scientists is
passed up "the chain of command" to their bosses higher in the
bureaucracy. It is there that political and economic (read
"profits") considerations begin to distort the true science
which began at the bottom (not always, but too often!!!).
Anyway, my present belief is that the people I see at these
meetings (I attend ALL of them.) WANT to do their "dead-level"
best to honorably complete this task in keeping with the highest
possible science traditions and standards. If they fail in that
... I WILL TELL YOU... THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO
KNOW.
Where We Are (After San Antonio).
I have long since learned that all who have an EMF problem of
some sort are convinced that "their" problem is the most serious
and the most threatening to humanity. If they live in a
neighborhood or community that is about to be deluged with
cellular telephone antennas, they believe the cell-phone is
the worst of all EMF contingencies. If they have a friend or
relative (or particularly "they" themselves) carrying the burden
of breast cancer, then of course that is the worst hazard. (As
you will see below, we may soon be including the male gender in
this tragic "reproductive hormone" picture -- prostate cancer is
also now suspect.) Much the same can be said of brain cancer or
Alzheimer's or ALS or Parkinson's, the brain neuron conditions
which may be showing the strongest EMF associations of all.
If the EMF victim lives near power "transmission" or even
"distribution" lines, then it is the power company that becomes
the target of condemnation, as childhood leukemia is
consistently showing-up there more frequently than it should.
The O.R. (odds ratio) for childhood leukemia is also
consistently low, but I believe there is an explanation for
that which is NOT reassuring. (More will be said below on the
"ugly secret" low O.R. issue.)
In fact, it now seems quite possible that ALL of the above
adverse health conditions are possible as a result of EMF
exposure -- and more! In the end, it may not be easy to say
which is the most adverse EMF/health situation because it
appears more and more likely that: (a) EMF exposure from
whatever source can be cell damaging (thus health threatening),
if sufficient in strength and duration ... probably through the
process of promoting or allowing the buildup of free radicals
which damage human cells, and (b) it does not appear that the
frequency (wave-length, ELF or RF, etc.) of the exposure is
"defining" -- though, until we know more, it is perhaps alright
to say: some frequencies "may" have a greater propensity for
the induction of cell and tissue damage than others.
Most important of all, the exposure "strength" required to cause
the suspect illnesses cited above is now clearly conceded to be
in the ranges of those exposure conditions which are -- at least
in certain situations -- occurring in our home and work
environment. The picture that is emerging is one of potentially
_broad overall health

Therefore, victims with repressed memories will experience depression, shame, fear, somatic disorders and other symptoms without being aware of the source of their emotional turmoil." In a study of the memories of children who had experienced traumatic events, Lenore Terr found that "sudden, fast events completely overcome any defenses that a small child can muster. Long-standing events stimulate defensive operations - denial, splitting, self-anesthesia, and dissociation. These defenses interfere with memory formation, storage and retrieval...When the defenses are set up in advance in order to deal with terrors the child knows to be coming, blurry, partial, or absent verbal memories are retained. The child may even develop blanket amnesia for certain years in the past." 12 "In a survey of 450 adults in treatment for child sexual abuse, 59% had periods in which they could not remember the abuse. (Briere and Conte, in press). 2 In a study of 53 women in therapy, Judith Herman and Emily Schatzow found that 74% were able to obtain corroborating evidence for the abuse..." Judith Herman states, " In actuality, false claims of childhood sexual abuse are demonstrably rare, and false memories of childhood trauma are no doubt equally so." "The False Memory Syndrome Foundation contends that people cannot repress memories of events such as incest that occurred over a long period of time. There is nothing in the research that validates this assertion. In fact, it is exactly long-term violence committed by family members that is most often repressed."

[CTRL] David Icke On The Book The Bushs' Banned.
-Caveat Lector- .. Forwarded from the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: William Shannon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] David Icke On The Book The Bushs' Banned. Date: Tuesday, November 30, 1999 7:45 PM -Caveat Lector- THE BOOK THE BUSHES BANNED GEORGE W. BUSH KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY: ANOTHER COCAINE SNORTING LIAR IN THE WHITE HOUSE by David Icke Please download and circulate as widely as possible. -- -- I have been reading a copy of Fortunate Son, the book which exposes the truth about George W. Bush, the Governor of Texas, and the front runner to become President of the United States in the year 2000. This son of the drug-taking, drug-running, paedophile, serial killer, and former President, George Bush (see The Biggest Secret), used his family and Illuminati connections to have the book withdrawn by the publisher to prevent his hypocrisy and lies being exposed to his potential voters. Some 90,000 copies were withdrawn from sale by the publisher, Thomas Dunne Books, because it highlights information that George W. Bush was forced to perform community service in 1972 after being caught in possession of a controlled substance, cocaine. The author, J. H. Hatfield, has been vilified for writing the book and yet, as a researcher myself, I find his attention to detail and his acknowledgement of the nature and reliability of sources to be first class. There are 52 pages of small-type source notes. This guy did his homework. Hatfield details how sources told him that Bush was ordered to do community service with an operation called Project P.U.L.L., a program for poor African-American youths in Houston, Texas. This is not disputed by Bush and, indeed, he has spoken about it publicly as used his "caring" gesture to support his presidential campaign, ironically. We are asked to believe that George W. Bush, a hard-drinking, hard playing, romeo, driving his expensive sports car and flying for the Texas Air National Guard, suddenly dropped everything, worked voluntarily for this charity, and then suddenly left the project and went back immediately to the above lifestyle once again as if nothing had happened. Yeah, and Bill Clinton is a celibate nun. Hatfield was alerted to the cocaine story just as his book was being completed. He read a story in the internet magazine, Salon, which reported on August 25th 1999 about allegations that Bush was "ordered by a Texas judge to perform community service in exchange for expunging his record showing illicit drug use and that this service was performed at the Martin Luther King, Jr., Community Center in Houston." Hatfield followed up the story through sources close to Bush, who had helped with other earlier sections of his book. They confirmed to him that the basis of the story was indeed true, but Bush had not been sent to work at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. Instead his community service was performed in Project P.U.L.L, of which his father, George Bush, was a "benevolent supporter". Madgelean "Madge" Bush (no relation), the director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center denied, quite rightly, that Bush junior had ever attended her establishment, but she refused point blank to answer Hatfield's follow up question:" Did Governor Bush perform court-ordered community service at ANOTHER agency in Houston or elsewhere in Texas other than the Martin Luther King, Jr., Center?" There was a long pause, Hatfield reports in his book, and then she said: "No comment because Madge Bush is not gonna talk to you I am not getting off into anything about George except he's the governor of Texas. That's all I'm gonna say about George W. Bush". With that she hung up. Hatfield next called a former Bush classmate at Yale University where Bush, like his father and grandfather, had been a member of the infamous Illuminati bloodline operation called the Skull and Bones Society (see The Biggest Secret, And The Truth Shall Set You Free, etc.). This classmate, a family friend who had partied with Bush in the sixties and seventies in Houston, had contributed information to Hatfield for other sections of the book which proved to be accurate. Hatfield asked him if George W. had volunteered to work for Project P.U.L.L. in 1972 or if he had been ordered to do so by the courts. Bush's classmate replied: "I was wondering when someone was going to get around to uncovering the truth. Evidently, you kind of glossed over it in the book (the manuscript at that time) like a lot of other reporters have done in their newspaper and magazine articles. It doesn't fit, does it?" "George W. was arrested for possession of cocaine in 1972, but due to his father's connections, the entire record was expunged by a state judge whom the elder Bush helped to get elected.

-Caveat Lector- .. Forwarded from the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: Mark A. Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [prj] Clinton at Big Hollywood antigun fundraiser Date: Wednesday, December 01, 1999 12:46 PM Free Rare/Out-of-Print Book Searches - Ruling Class/Conspiracy Experts: E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** END Clinton, Hollywood stars call for gun control By Deborah Charles BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov 30 (Reuters) - Actors Whoopi Goldberg and Gregory Peck joined President Bill Clinton at a Beverly Hills dinner on Tuesday in calling for tighter gun control laws to mark the Brady Bill's sixth anniversary. A host of Hollywood stars and musicians turned out to attend the fund-raising dinner to celebrate the 1993 law that imposed background checks on gun purchasers and to donate $250 to $10,000 each to promote gun control. The law, named for former White House spokesman Jim Brady who was seriously injured in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, has stopped 470,000 people from buying guns, according to Justice Department data released on Tuesday. Clinton has called for new gun-control measures this year following a string of schoolyard shootings, including the April killings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in which two teenage gunmen killed 13 people and themselves. ``Can anyone doubt that there will be another Columbine ... Can anyone doubt that the clock is ticking?'' asked movie star Gregory Peck, who received an award from the Handgun Control group to recognise his efforts to reduce gun violence. The White House has sought to seize on the public dismay at the schoolyard shootings to mobilise the Republican-controlled Congress to pass a series of gun control measures this year. These include: requiring background checks on gun show weapon sales, banning violent juvenile offenders from owning guns when they turn 21, requiring child safety locks to be sold with handguns and banning the import of high-capacity ammunition clips. The right to bear arms is constitutionally guaranteed and none of the gun-control measures made progress in Congress. Clinton, while hailing the Brady Bill and the assault weapons ban passed in 1994, called on Congress to do more. ``I've come here to say, you have to keep fighting,'' Clinton said, saying 12 children die every day from gun violence. ``No one believes America is as safe as it should be or can be.'' As Goldberg introduced Clinton at the dinner, which included musical performances by Paula Cole and Dweezil Zappa, she said one of her granddaughters recently asked if she might get killed at school. ``This was kind of chilling, because it wasn't even like I could say 'No, no, it's not going to happen,''' Goldberg said. ``We should not ... be speechless when our children say: 'Am I going to make it to Christmas?''' 01:04 12-01-99 Copyright 1999 Reuters Limited.

[CTRL] Fw: [grom] FW: World War III Diary: the story behind the Chinese embassy bombing
-Caveat Lector- .. Forwarded from the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: Book Search Co-ordinator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: [grom] FW: World War III Diary: the story behind the Chinese embassy bombing Date: Monday, November 29, 1999 9:11 PM Yup, the attack on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was purposeful! But why? Yes, as per below, to send a message to the Chines and Belgradebut also: why not as a way for Clinton to show how tough he can be on China after taking their money? The Guardian/The Observer November 28, 1999 The US claimed it was a tragic blunder. But the pinpoint accuracy of the attack was in fact a deadly signal to Milosevic: seek outside help in Kosovo at your peril Sunday November 28, 1999 On May 7 this year the B2 - at $44 billion the world's most expensive plane - took off from Whiteman air force base in Missouri, its sleek black belly loaded with missiles, destined for Belgrade. It flew high across the Atlantic and Western Europe before opening its bomb doors over the Adriatic and releasing the most accurate air-drop munitions in the world - the JDAM flying bomb. The JDAM uses four adjustable fins to control its position, continually checked and re-checked by fixes from seven satellites. It is so precise a weapon it is accurate to a range of less than two metres. The bombs carried on that B2 rained down over the Serb capital and rocketed towards their target - the southern end of the Chinese Embassy - demolishing the office of the military attache and killing three `journalists'. But the midnight strike was so precise the embassy's north end was untouched, leaving the marble and glass of the front entrance and the ambassador's Mercedes and four flower pots unscathed. The CIA, US State Department and British Foreign Office claimed the strike had hit the wrong building. It was, they regretted, a terrible mistake. Though America's trillion-dollar arsenal had been deployed, the target had been selected by an intelligence analyst using out-of-date maps. The strike on the Chinese Embassy came at a bad time for Nato's campaign against Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. Mistaken attacks on convoys of defenceless Albanian refugees had dented Western public opinion's belief in the rightness of the war; now the US war machine had hit the most diplomatically sensitive target possible - by mistake. But as mobs stormed the US and British Embassies in Beijing, and Chinese President Jiang Zemin refused to take President Bill Cliton's phone calls, an entirely different story was being revealed on the other side of the world. At the Combined Air Operations Centre (CAOC) in Vincenza in northern Italy, British, Canadian and French air targeteers rounded on an American colonel on the morning of 8 May. Angrily they denounced the `cock-up'. The US colonel was relaxed. 'Bullshit,' he replied to the complaints. `That was great targeting ... we put two JDAMs down into the attache's office and took out the exact room we wanted ... they (the Chinese) won't be using that place for rebro (re-broadcasting radio transmissions) any more, and it will have given that bastard Arkan a headache.' Last month The Observer raised the first serious challange to the official version of events and claimed the embassy was targeted directly. US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright described it as `balderdash'. Since then, as this paper's journalists have continued to pursue the story, more witnesses have come forward. The true story - though it is being denied by everyone from Albright, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook and CIA director George Tenet down - is that the Americans knew exactly what they are doing. The Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was deliberately targeted by the most precise weapons in the US arsenal because it was being used by Zeljko Raznatovic, the indicted war criminal better known as Arkan, to transmit messages to his `Tigers' - Serb death squads - in Kosovo. In the immediate aftermath of the attack there were some among non-US staff who were suspicious. On 8 May they tapped into the Nato target computer and checked out the satellite co-ordinates for the Chinese Embassy. The co-ordinates were in the computer and they were correct. While the world was being told the CIA had used out-of-date maps, Nato's officers were looking at evidence that the CIA was bang on target. Five weeks ago The Observer reported evidence gathered from sources within Nato - serving military officers who would be instantly sacked if named. Our account was denied by the CIA, by Albright and by Cook, who said there was not a `shred of evidence to support this rather wild story'. The Observer has gone back to its original sources, and also spoken to other serving officers, from Nato colonels to intelligence officers to a military officer with the rank of a general. All are in agreement.
