[CTRL] Fw: A Deadly Silence
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: Para [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Saturday, 4 December 1999 20:26 Subject: A Deadly Silence Deadly Silence by Fergus Day What if there was a weapon whose effects you couldn't see or hear, but could kill you from a distance of hundreds of metres? Fergus Day assesses the disturbing potential of "Infrasound". Picture the scenario. You're walking through a busy city street when a disturbance breaks out. Suddenly, you're engulfed by a mass of heaving bodies. You struggle to escape, but find you're blocked at every turn. Amid the chaos, you hear the sound of approaching police sirens. When the officers arrive, however, they are not carrying the usual riot shields and batons; they have only what looks like large speakers, held out at arms length. Suddenly, you feel as, if you cannot breathe; your head is pounding as you stumble to your knees. Overcome by nausea, you try to get up, but are engulfed by a feeling of intense anxiety, and cannot move. As you lie there, vomiting uncontrollably, those around you are dropping like flies. In the end, the entire crowd is writhing in agony as the police wade in to make arrests. In the aftermath of your ordeal, you recover completely, but one question remains; what caused the physical effects you experienced? You were not hit by a rubber bullet, you saw no tear gas or other noxious substance in the air. So why did so many people fall to the floor as if overtaken by some crippling disease? The answer is simple. You and those around you had fallen victim to a new and terrifying weapon - "Infrasound". For decades, police forces and military authorities throughout the world have been increasingly keen to find methods of containing civil unrest without the risks to their own officers that are associated with current methods of riot control. And, according to a number of researchers, in infrasound, military, scientists may now have found the ideal solution to this problem. But what exactly is infrasound and how is it capable of inducing such profound physical effects? Infrasound is a powerful, ultra-low frequency acoustic wave. All the sound that we hear from the lowest bass to the highest treble, is between 16 and 20,000 Hertz, or cycles per second. Sound waves above or below these levels cannot be heard by the human car. Because infrasound is, by definition, sound waves of a level below 16 Hertz, it bypasses our cars but can be felt by our bodies in the form of pure vibrations. And it is these vibrations, dependent upon their intensity, that some researchers say can induce a range of symptoms, from nausea, headaches and vomiting, to the rupturing of internal organs and even death. But infrasound is no new invention. In nature, it is produced by powerful and destructive events, such as earthquakes, thunder and erupting volcanoes. The sound waves can travel many kilometres and are not blocked by stone, buildings or other sounds. Infrasound also features strongly in the technology that dominates urban life in towns and cities. Rapidly moving objects, such as car engines, fans and air conditioners are responsible for low levels of infrasound that surround us on a daily basis. The fact that certain sound frequencies have definite effects on the human body has long been acknowledged by science. But while ultrasound (frequencies above 20,000 Hertz) has been openly harnessed by science to such mundane ends as repelling vermin or dislodging tartar from dentures, the study and application of infrasound has been far more secretive. Although infrasound research dates back as far as World War I, studies of its effects on human beings did not begin until the early 1960s. At this time, NASA sponsored studies into the potential effects on astronauts of infrasound produced by spacecraft at launchtime. At the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, subjects were placed in pressure chambers and subjected to infrasound. Among the resulting effects were 'chest wall vibrations, gag sensations, and respiratory rhythm changes'. Just a few years later, in 1965, the sinister potential of infrasound was fully, uncovered. From extensive studies, Vladimir Gavreau, a scientist front the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Marseilles, found that a variety of physical effects were produced when human beings were exposed to ultra-low sound frequencies. He experimented with a series of tubes arid organ pipes that produced notes of about 7 Hertz, and found that, by extending the tubes, the sound waves could be directed with some precision. In producing these devices, Gavreau had, in effect, invented 'acoustic lasers'. These narrow beams of infrasound could apparently be aimed accurately, producing nausea, disorientation and headaches in those at whom they were directed. When the infrasound levels were intensified, test subjects also reported feelings of fright, panic and blurred vision.

-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Saturday, 4 December 1999 21:19 Subject: [MC] Undercover Police at the WTO march on Tuesday I live in Portland, OR, about a two hour drive from Seattle. I went to the Tuesday Labor rally that started at the Memorial Stadium and went through downtown Seattle. I went with a friend who works for the local community TV cable access station in town. Both of us were going with the expressed intention of videoing the affair but with one difference from most who were videoing. We decided that the theme of the video would be observing surveillance techniques used by the police. Amazing enough we started observing a particular behavior by certain people who were not wearing any police uniforms. They were all talking into the same type of cell phone. Upon further inspection we observed that these cell phones had no dial pads, they were radios of some sort. After that they started standing out. The police must have a clothing allowance for "street clothes" because the majority of these police were wearing brand new Levi's, wind breakers, and looked like they had just got a hair cut. The frightening part was that we saw at least 4 undercovers dressed up as union people with hard hats and the union windbreakers like most were wearing. They were using the same "cell phones" as the others. I purposely got close enough to hear one of them say on his radio "We are going to need reinforcements up here." Another frightening observation was when saw a young male who could have easily passed as one of the "anarchist" (dressed in old worn clothes and a hooded sweat shirt) pull out the same radio and talk into it. I would say just in a 3-4 block area we saw between 10-15 of these undercover cops. We of course videod them. They usually turned away when they observed us taping them. The point I am making is that most likely the whole parade was infiltrated with undercover cops. Who knows they could have been ATF and FBI. I most likely can assume that there is a high probability that some of these could have been the agent provocateurs who did the damage also. The news tonight said that only six people of the 500-700 people arrested were charged with felonies. Gee what happened to the rest who were tearing things up.

A far cry from the nonviolent protests originally intended. The Internet has lit up with observations by people who noted the obvious differences between the original protests and the unexpected turn to rioting and looting by unknown individuals dressed in black and claiming to be Anarchists. Some protesters smashed storefront windows, sprayed graffiti, slashed police car tires and set trash containers on fire. Police responded by firing rubber pellets and teargas into the crowds and spraying pepper spray into the faces of people as they ran by. They also called in 200 unarmed National Guard troops and 300 state police to help keep calm Wednesday. Demonstrators complained the hundreds of arrests and tough tactics were unnecessary. And they feared the violent actions of a few were overshadowing issues involving WTO policies. -- * There is no doubt in my mind there are agents provocateurs acting "under the color and auspices of authority" in Seattle this week ... as was clearly evidenced in just one video clip aired nationally by CNN-TV on Tuesday afternoon, 30 Nov., 1999.

A legitimate question in my opinion. No police were around - and a "Starbucks" would not likely be located very far off of "the beaten path". Laughing, the vandals did try to answer the woman's question to some degree - and their overall attitude was interpreted to suggest they were wholly protected from being arrested ... and if arrested, they would never be prosecuted.

My guess is that the ring-leaders are from the FBI Academy and the School of the Americas .

-Caveat Lector- Copyright 1999 InterPress Service, all rights reserved. Worldwide distribution via the APC networks. *** 03-Dec-99 *** Title: POLITICS-PANAMA: Distrust Mounts against US-Advised Security Plan By David Carrasco PANAMA CITY, Dec 3 (IPS) - Political, trade union and student leaders demand an end to United States military presence in Panama, taking to the streets to protest a government security plan that calls for air, sea and land surveillance over the nation. Members of the National Association of United Trade Unions marched to the Presidential Residence Thursday night to demand an end to the security negotiations Panama has entered with the United States. Sa£l Mndez, defence secretary of the Construction and Allied Industries Union, declared outside the residence that the workers will not tolerate foreign military bases in Panama. The protest was launched after Winston Spadafora, minister of Governance and Justice, provided the press with a document that defines security objectives for border regions as well as areas adjacent to the Panama Canal. Spadafora maintained that ''there is nothing secret'' being discussed with Washington and rejected the criticism of opposition groups who believe the Strategic Plan for National Security hides an attempt to set up military bases controlled by the United States. But the minister acknowledged that the project was drafted with input from military attachs from the United States, Colombia, France, Great Britain, Israel, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. A U.S. embassy report warns that Panama lacks the ability to control its airspace and maritime territory, and that border security is limited. The document suggests that the 13,500-member public security force should be ''re-militarised,'' as the nation has not had an army since it was disbanded in 1991. The document given to the press indicates that the United States will engage in a new type of relationship with Panama from Dec 31, 1999 through October 2000. The following six years will be a critical period, says the report. At the end of this year, in accordance with the 1977 Panama Canal Treaties, signed by Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos and U.S. president James Carter, the United States is to relinquish all control over the canal area. Joao Secsodi, U.S. embassy spokesman in Panama, confirmed the report's authenticity, though denied its validity, saying it involves material for internal use that is now outdated. Parliamentarian Miguel Bush, of the opposition Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD), told IPS that the security plan corresponds to U.S. desires to set up an electronic surveillance system, which requires the use of airports for take-off and landing of large aircraft, like the Galaxy and Awacs. ''Honduras and Panama are the countries in the region that have the landing conditions for these huge aircraft, which are used in espionage in the war against drug-trafficking,'' affirmed Bush. The legislator asserted that his government's decision to discuss its national security plan with the United States is ''unacceptable.'' Bush pointed out that the United States wants to establish an operations centre in Panama for strategic reasons, including the fight against drug-trafficking and joint operations with the Colombian army. Retired general Rubn Paredes, who led the now-dismantled Defence Forces of Panama, affirmed that the plan released by the government is a ''smoke screen to gain time'' for negotiating a long-term agreement that ensures U.S. military presence in Panama. Paredes said he had reached this conclusion observing the haste of the United States and Panama in preparing the project. The government's general budget for 2000 did not include a heading for the security operations that will be housed at the former U.S. bases in the canal area. Spadafora responded that the Canal Authority of Panama will earmark part of its resources to fund public forces that will be entrusted with canal security. The canal defence complex will use fibre-optic, cable and radar communications to link six key locations included in the security plan. Among the key sites is the former Corozal air base, on the western (Caribbean) end of the canal, where the communications ''nervous system'' will be located, and will be under the authority of the Institutional Protection Service. A second key area is the underground tunnel through Cerro Anc¢n, a hill that is a national Panamanian symbol, where a centre for managing canal information will be installed. A third site is the United States' former Rodman base, on the Pacific, which will be entrusted with sea patrols. Officials at the locations will co-ordinate actions with the operations at Fort Davis, on the Caribbean coast, where a rapid deployment force will be based. According to minister Spadafora, the plan will reduce foreign threats against Panama, including its border areas with Colombia and Costa

[CTRL] Fwd: Mass Psychotropic Drugging
It's amazing to think that as of 1996, 10 to 12 percent of schoolboys in the U.S were on an addictive drug, Ritalin, about which the manufacture states: "Sufficient data on safety and efficacy of long-term use of Ritalin in children are not yet available. ... Long-term effects of Ritalin in children have not been well established." (1998) While the statements are an effort to avoid liability for any harm caused by their product, they're also largely true: after being on the market for decades, there are few if any long-term studies on Ritalin use. But there are some clues. The manufacture's insert also notes that growth suppression has been reported. Some research suggests the possibility of brain atrophy after chronic use. Those concerns may prove unfounded, but what if they prove true and millions of lives are forever diminished during a reckless diagnostic fad that redefines normal young-male behavior as a psychiatric disorder requiring drug addiction? It's good to see a popular columnist like George Will take on this reckless and even totalitarian venture into mass drugging: Boys Will Be Boys, or you can just drug them. George F. Will: http://www.sacbee.com/voices/national/will/will_19991202.html == The subtitle appears in The Washington Post (12/02/99, A39). Here's a select excerpt: == Boys Will Be Boys, or you can just drug them. By George F. Will (12/02/99) [...] One theory holds that ADHD is epidemic because of the modern acceleration of life--the environmental blitzkrieg of MTV, video games, e-mail, cell phones, etc. But the magazine Lingua Franca reports that Ken Jacobson, a doctoral candidate in anthropology at the University of Massachusetts, conducted a cross-cultural study of ADHD that included observation of two groups of English school children, one diagnosed with ADHD, the other not. He observed them with reference to 35 behaviors (e.g., "giggling," "squirming," "blurting out") and found no significant differences between the groups. Children, he says, tend to talk, fidget and fool around-- "all the classical ADHD-type behaviors. If you're predisposed to label any child as ADHD, the distracted troublemaker or the model student, you'll find a way to observe these behaviors." So what might explain such a predisposition? Paul R. McHugh, professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, writing in Commentary, argues that ADHD, "social phobia" (usual symptom: fear of public speaking) and other disorders certified by the American Psychiatric Association's "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" are proliferating rapidly. This is because of a growing tendency to regard as mental problems many characteristics that are really aspects of individuality. So pharmacology is employed to relieve burdensome aspects of temperament. "Psychiatric conditions," says McHugh, "are routinely differentiated by appearances alone," even when it is "difficult to distinguish symptoms of illness from normal variations in human life," or from the normal responses of sensitive people to life's challenges. But if a condition can be described, it can be named; once named, a distinct disorder can be linked to a particular treatment. McHugh says some experts who certify new disorders "receive extravagant annual retainers from pharmaceutical companies that profit from the promotion of disorders treatable by the companies' medications." The idea that most individuals deficient inattentiveness or confidence are sick encourages what McHugh calls pharmacological "mental cosmetics." This "should be offensive to anyone who values the richness of human psychological diversity. Both medically and morally, encumbering this naturally occurring diversity with the terminology of disease is a first step toward efforts, however camouflaged, to control it." Clearly some children need Ritalin. However, Ken Livingston, of Vassar's department of psychology, writing in the Public Interest, says Ritalin is sometimes used as a diagnostic tool--if it improves a child's attention, ADHD is assumed.

Deadly Silence by Fergus Day What if there was a weapon whose effects you couldn't see or hear, but could kill you from a distance of hundreds of metres? Fergus Day assesses the disturbing potential of "Infrasound". Picture the scenario. You're walking through a busy city street when a disturbance breaks out. Suddenly, you're engulfed by a mass of heaving bodies. You struggle to escape, but find you're blocked at every turn. Amid the chaos, you hear the sound of approaching police sirens. When the officers arrive, however, they are not carrying the usual riot shields and batons; they have only what looks like large speakers, held out at arms length. Suddenly, you feel as, if you cannot breathe; your head is pounding as you stumble to your knees. Overcome by nausea, you try to get up, but are engulfed by a feeling of intense anxiety, and cannot move. As you lie there, vomiting uncontrollably, those around you are dropping like flies. In the end, the entire crowd is writhing in agony as the police wade in to make arrests. In the aftermath of your ordeal, you recover completely, but one question remains; what caused the physical effects you experienced? You were not hit by a rubber bullet, you saw no tear gas or other noxious substance in the air. So why did so many people fall to the floor as if overtaken by some crippling disease? The answer is simple. You and those around you had fallen victim to a new and terrifying weapon - "Infrasound". For decades, police forces and military authorities throughout the world have been increasingly keen to find methods of containing civil unrest without the risks to their own officers that are associated with current methods of riot control. And, according to a number of researchers, in infrasound, military, scientists may now have found the ideal solution to this problem. But what exactly is infrasound and how is it capable of inducing such profound physical effects? Infrasound is a powerful, ultra-low frequency acoustic wave.

In producing these devices, Gavreau had, in effect, invented 'acoustic lasers'. These narrow beams of infrasound could apparently be aimed accurately, producing nausea, disorientation and headaches in those at whom they were directed. When the infrasound levels were intensified, test subjects also reported feelings of fright, panic and blurred vision. Gavreau believed that a powerful enough infrasound device could knock down walls, break windows and kill everyone within an 8-km radius. The device would riot be difficult to

-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave "They were using a pepper spray, a tear gas and they were also using some sort of nerve gas. We had reports of many demonstrators winding up with seizures the next day. It causes muscles to clamp up, muscle contraction, seizures." === Interview with Seattle MD: "This is the beginning of a police state" (posted on http://www.emperors-clothes.com at 1 am 12-4-99) My name is Richard DeAndrea. I'm a medical doctor. What I saw up here was martial law. This turned into a police state. Everything you have seen on television regarding local news broadcasts including national public radio was a blackout. The police were using concussion grenades. They were shooting tear gas canisters directly at protesters' faces. They were using so-called rubber bullets. These are actually hard plastic. Some of the damage I saw: these plastic bullets took off part of one person's jaw, smashed teeth in other people's mouths. I saw the police arrest people who had their hands up in the air screaming we are peacefully protesting. The amount of looting that took place was so minimal I don't even know where they got the footage from. I am saying this beyond a shadow of a doubt. This is a definite sign that America is heading towards a police state unless people start standing up for their rights as individuals. I am actually shocked and ashamed. I am ashamed of the police force, I am ashamed of the mayor I am ashamed of Bill Clinton. I am ashamed of the whole thing. Jared: These rubber bullets - what are they? Dr. DeAndrea: They are made of polyester type material. They are like a hard plastic toy. The idea is to hit your body, do damage, not actually penetrate. But I did see penetration wounds, I did see people bleeding. I did see teeth loss, I did see broken bones. There were children present, there were families present, they were firing upon families, mothers, grandmothers,. They were just firing at them. They came out in full police force. They brought out swat teams, they had the national guard up here, there was CIA surrounding the delegates' buildings. It was very obvious that there was an institutional control that had no regard of human rights whatever. In addition we have video footage of protesters being taken away as well as human rights being violated. Prisoners were taken and they were tortured. There is a case, I believe his name is Holm, Keith Holm. He was tortured because he would not give his name. They handcuffed, laid him on the floor, they smashed his face against the concrete, they grabbed his hair, they ripped out a lock of hair. and then placed pencils between his fingers and pressed on them until he would give his name. He refused. They were also banging his head against metal objects. He was actually the first protester released because the Internal Affairs came in to do an investigation and they wanted him gone because he would be able to give testimony. We're treating people in a studio loft downtown. I just treated an ear wound. People have been treated for concussion injuries. There have been people who have been treated for plastic bullet wounds. Lots of tear gas injuries, lots of damage to cornea, lots of damage to the eyes and skins. They were using a pepper spray, a tear gas and they were also using some sort of nerve gas. We had reports of many demonstrators winding up with seizures the next day. It causes muscles to clamp up, muscle contraction, seizures. They have done several illegal things regarding these people in jail. They have been telling them that they would not be let out, not have their bail set if they didn't give their names. Its their legal right not to give their name. They don't have to speak at all. Attorneys came up and said we are representing these people. The police called the attorneys liars. At this point they have still refused to let any of them see their clients. There are close to 600 people who were arrested and they have been holding them for two days on charges that are mostly misdemeanors, such as refusal to disperse. A lot of people in there have not gotten medical attention either. I have gotten calls from young ladies in there who have had all sorts of emotional problems as well as physical problems. They have called me for medical attention from inside the jail. There are people still sitting in there who have not even been processed. Today there were fewer attacks by police, but they did arrest more people. And there was no violence today by the marchers and all through the day yesterday it was the same. What you are seeing on television about looting and anarchistic protesters - there's astraight-out blackout and they are basically pushing that [line]. There is not much damage to property here. There are not many windows that have been damaged or stores that have been looted. Those are extremely rare cases. I used to believe newspapers were telling the
[CTRL] Monsanto / FDA collusion revealed: Robert Cohen's FDA testimony
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave (from Robert Cohen's daily diary; more at: http://www.hungerstrike.com ) Thursday, December 2 - Day 26 The FDA Testimony - as promised [Robert Cohen appeared on an FDA panel in Washington on Tuesday, November 30, 1999 some of you may have seen his speech on C-Span Mr. Cohen spoke last, and each of the other panel members read prepared statements. Members of the panel also included Mildred Cody, who represented the American Dietetic Association; Mario Teisl, a professor of economics at the University of Maine; John Gray, president of the International Food Service Distributors Association; Kendal Keith, president of the National Grain Feed Association; and Richard Caplan, an environmental advocate with the US Public Interest Research Group.] * Testimony 11-30-99 Hi everybody, I've got to apologize first - I don't have a prepared statement like the other panel members. All I'm going to give here is some facts. I have a copy of the Federal Register. It says here advertising this meeting: "FDA is not aware of information that will distinguish genetically engineered food as a class from other foods." [ROBERT COHEN TURNS AND ADDRESSES FDA PANEL MEMBERS.] I'm going to give you some information today, guys. The greatest controversy in FDA history was the approval process for Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone. We shouldn't be here today! We should not be in this room and I shouldn't be here because, in 1994, Congress HAD A BILL that was going to require mandatory labeling of all foods that were influenced by genetic engineering. I got my Congresswoman to co-sponsor that bill - 181 congresspeople co-sponsored that bill, and you know what? I learned how Congress works that year because in 6 months they stalled the bill - 12 members of the Dairy Livestock Poultry Committee - they stalled the bill until the 1994 session of Congress expired and the bill died. I was so upset, I investigated these 12 men and found that collectively they took $711,000 in PAC money from companies with dairy interests, and four of the members of the committee took money directly from Monsanto. Now we've got a lot of political intrigue and some real science here. We've got science fiction, we've got a combination of John Grisham and we've got a combination of Stephen King. Nikita Khrushchev said that what the scientists have in their briefcase is terrifying - [ROBERT COHEN THEN OPENED HIS BRIEFCASE AND PULLED OUT A STACK OF PAPERS] and I've got some interesting things in my briefcase to share with you today. When Monsanto made their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, they noticed a couple of problems right towards the end - right before approval. They noticed that laboratory animals were getting cancer, and they noticed that cows were getting mastitis, ulcers in their udders. They were putting more pus and bacteria into the milk. So Monsanto arranged We've heard from Dr. Maryanski this morning, and Dr. Maryanski talked about the Pure Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act but what he didn't tell you was that in 1958, Robert Delaney, a congressman from New York, added the Delaney Amendment which was named after him. The Delaney Amendment stated that if a food additive caused cancer, it was not to be approved - a pretty good law - right? Monsanto got their attorney, Michael Taylor from the firm of King Spalding By the way, when they started in 1979, they groomed their attorney who is now in the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas, from the same law firm. Anyway, Monsanto's attorney, Michael Taylor, wrote and minimized the Delaney Amendment- he wrote a scientific paper that was published in the "Journal of Toxicology". Lawyers -they write in law review journals, but this lawyer wrote in the "Journal of Toxicology": "a De-Minumus interpretation of the Delaney Amendment" became the new protocol, the new standard operating procedure at FDA. They minimized cancer. Michael Taylor was hired by the Food Drug Administration, and became the second most powerful man there, Monsanto's attorney - he wrote the standard operating procedure. In other words, if you see cancer, ignore it. Margaret Miller and Suzanne Sechen, Monsanto's scientists, were hired by the FDA to review Monsanto's own research. Margaret Miller knew cows were getting mastitis. The first week at the FDA, December 3, 1989, she was given broad power, and here's an affect of genetic engineering nobody has considered. She knew cows were getting sick from the genetically engineered hormone. She changed the amount of antibiotics that farmers could have in their milk. She changed it from 1 part per 100 million to 1 part per million - this is a fact! She increased it by 100 times. There is a hero of mine in the audience, Michael Hansen from Consumer's Union - Consumer's Union tested milk in the New York metropolitan area

THE SCOOP for December 6, 1999 ___ The Child Labor Ban: "Abusive" Indeed Also: Supporting the Gulf War Vets, and an MLK Memorial © 1999 Bob Harris http://www.bobharris.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * = italics Bill Clinton doesn't lie nearly so often as some folks think. More often, he merely resorts to lawyerly precision. President Clinton just signed a treaty banning "abusive" child labor. Sounds great, right? And then he posed for a photo op and smiled and waved, basking in the warm glow one might expect from someone who has just tried to wipe out said "abusive" child labor. Notice the phrase isn't "all" child labor. Just the "abusive" kind. As opposed to the good kind, apparently. Granted, the treaty does call for an end to child slavery, prostitution, military service, and extreme stuff like that. Which is great. Yes, we should ban all that stuff. Swell. But let's not get all worked up about it. It's not exactly like Clinton is taking on some powerful pro-child slavery lobby. Hey, now let's pass a law against beating old people with sticks. Read the fine print: the treaty Bill Clinton just signed does not ban all child labor. Not by a long shot. There are still gonna be kids working in sweatshops making your running shoes, six and seven days a week, making like seventeen cents an hour. One of Clinton's biggest fundraisers over the years has been Phil Knight, CEO of Nike. So don't imagine that anything's really changing here. The truth is, the U.S. government isn't even particularly interested in child labor. Ten years ago, the UN passed an international Convention on the Rights of the Child which has since been passed by every country but *two* -- the United States and Somalia. Ten years later, the U.S. Congress has yet to ratify this landmark UN convention. Somalia has an excuse. They don't even have a government. The United States does. Or at least, Congress likes to imply that we do, using the most lawyerly of words. ___ Remember the Gulf War? Almost everywhere you turned, you were told to Support Our Troops. OK. Maybe we finally ought to. As you probably know, Operation Desert Storm wasn't quite the big democracy-protecting shindig we were sold at the time. Almost nine years later, Saddam's still in power, half a million Iraqi kids are dead due to sanctions, and the Kuwati legislature denied women the right to vote, again, just last week. But the Americans who did the actual fighting were mostly just average folks, the vast majority lower-middle class people just trying to get by and maybe go to college, who did what they thought they were supposed to. And in return, at least a hundred thousand came down with chronic fatigue, weakness, and a whole bunch of other stuff now known as Gulf War Syndrome, which the VA and Pentagon have spent a lot of energy denying even exists. It does. As this space reported over two years ago, researchers at the University of Texas found that almost half the vets they studied showed signs of brain damage, probably caused by chemical weapons, anti-chemical warfare pills, bug spray, vaccinations, and a bunch of other toxic crap all slapped together in a big neural cocktail. Last week, that study received major corroboration thanks to a newer, separate study, also at UT's Southwestern Medical Center, which found that Gulf War Syndrome sufferers have lost 10% to 25% of their brain tissue. Let the VA and Pentagon pretend that's just hypochondria. Whatever any of us felt about the war, these folks are our brothers and sisters, and they need our help. Support our troops. ___ Can one person truly make a difference in the world? How else do you think it happens? I just want to conclude this week by sharing something wonderful with you. I just came back from South Carolina, where I gave a lecture on Martin Luther King's leadership of the Civil Rights movement and the U.S. government's reaction. Declassified documents show that after his years of non-violent protest in the face of police dogs and Klan violence culminated in a March on Washington and the Civil Rights Act, the FBI was still trying sabotage the rise of Dr. King -- "neutralization" is the word used in one memo -- even as he was accepting a Nobel Peace Prize. The FBI spied on Dr. King's organization with informers and electronic surveillance, planted false stories in the media, hired local street gang and Klan members to disrupt

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ Click Here: A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Today's Lesson from An Appraisal of Technologies of Political Control The original development of riot weapons goes back to Paris before the first World War, where the police began chemical crowd control using bombs filled with ethyl bromoacetate, an early form of teargas. The British colonies proved to be the forcing ground for the wide range of chemical and kinetic impact weapons which followed. The irritant CS for example was first used in Cyprus in 1956, and between 1960 and 1965, CN and CS were used on 124 occasions in the colonies. (Ackroyd et al, 1977).The growing demands of counter-insurgency and urban warfare generated a first generation of new riot weapons serviced by a growing police industrial complex. Thus plastic and rubber bullets were products of British colonial experience in Hong Kong where the flying wooden teak baton round became the template for future kinetic weapons. The concept was one of a flying truncheon which could disperse a crowd without using small arms. They were however regarded as too dangerous for use on white people, so in 1969, Porton Down came up with a 'safer' version for use in Northern Ireland in 1970. Just as plastic bullets were considered far too dangerous for use in mainland Britain until 1985 when they proliferated throughout the UK's police forces,so were wooden baton rounds regarded as too dangerous for the residents of Northern Ireland but not Hong Kong. Now plastic bullets have been deployed in virtually every continent from the USA to Argentina, from South Africa to Israel and China. Obviously, the shift in whether or not a riot weapon was appropriate or safe had nothing to do with differences in physiology. Wooden and plastic baton rounds created injuries which did not take account of generation or race. A predominant concern appears to have been what can be portrayed as politically safe in a particular context. The seductive notion of soft and gentle knockout weapons is recent but not new. It has its roots back in the 1970's when so called 'non-lethal' weapons formed the holy grail of riot weapon Research Development. During that decade, then Congressman James Scheur outlined a new philosophy of crowd control weapons.(see Fig.26). He saw such developments resulting from 'spinoffs from medical, military, aerospace and industrial research' and expressed the view that: 'We are now in the process of developing devices and products capable of controlling violent individuals and entire mobs without injury.'53 The veracity of this assessment is briefly examined below, particularly the assertion that control is achieved without harm. Some idea of the range and variety of riot control weapons under consideration at that time can be gleaned from the 1972 US National Science Foundation's Report on Non-lethal Weapons. (NSF, 1972). Altogether it listed 34 different weapons, including chemical and kinetic weapons; electrified water jets; combined stroboscopic light and pulsed sound weapons; infrasound weapons; dartguns which fire drug-filled flight stabilized syringes; stench parts which give off an obnoxious odour; the taser which fires two small electrical contacts discharging 50,000 volts into the target; and instant banana peel which makes roads so slippery, they are impassable. Many of these weapons were then only partly developed or had problems of public acceptability:others have since achieved operational status. They include: incapacitation weapons such as the electronic riot shields and electro-shock batons (discussed in Sections 6, 7, 8 below); Bulk chemical irritant distributor systems, (delivered by watercannon such as the UK made Tactica or the many back pack sprays like those made by the Israeli company Ispra (Fig.27 or the German Heckler 8 Koch (Fig. 28); New forms of irritant such as OC (or peppergas); kinetic impact weapons like the German UK plastic bullet guns (shown in Fig. 32) or the South African hydraulically fired, TFM Slingshot rubber bullet machine; biomedical weapons, such as the compressed air fired drug syringe now commercially available both in the US China (shown in Fig. 33). The range of weapons currently deployed for crowd control is vast indeed and defies any attempts to be comprehensive. In Britain, since the first use of CS gas, rubber bullets and water cannon at the beginning of the Northern Irish Conflict in 1969, there has been a globalisation of such public order technologies. To our knowledge some 856 companies across 47 countries have been or are currently active in the manufacture and supply of such weapons. This proliferation has been fuelled by private companies wishing to tap lucrative security markets, a process which has led to both vertical and horizontal proliferation of this technology.

The military mission, according to the Pentagon, is to "provide support" to the FBI, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Secret Service and other government agencies responsible for security there. The military specialists are in place largely to provide expertise and assist in coordinating a federal response in the event of a terrorist attack during such a high-profile event. According to Defense Department documents obtained by CNN, 131 U.S. Army, 27 U.S. Air Force, and eight U.S. Navy personnel were sent to Seattle to perform roles from ordnance disposal to standing by for possible chemical or biological attack by terrorist groups. Four special forces troops from the Joint Special Operations Task Force were deployed to Seattle to be on hand to advise FBI "crisis support" agents in the event of a catastrophic terrorist event involving chemical or biological weapons or hostage taking. Two of the four special operations experts have since left the city, according to an informed Pentagon official who spoke on the condition that he not be named. Fifty-five military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams, along with 25 explosive-detecting dogs and their handlers, were sent. The soldiers are "operating in civilian attire -- keeping a low presence," the Defense Department documents say. Troops there are from various military fiefdoms including the U.S. Special Operations Command, the U.S. Forces Command, the U.S. Army Biological-Chemical Command, the U.S. Air Force Security Forces Command and the U.S. Joint Forces Command. Eight divers, making up two Navy dive teams, were sent to provide support to the Secret Service for President Clinton's visit, which ended Thursday. The action is not unusual for presidential security. The Department of Health and Human Services and FEMA have set up a "staging area" for their operations at the U.S. Naval Reserve Center-Lake Union in Seattle. Eight military personnel are assigned to that site. The HHS-FEMA site is pre-positioned to respond to major health catastrophes such as a biological agent attack, according to a well-informed source. The "Domestic Military Support," or "DOMS" as it is known at the Pentagon, is provided through the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the request of other federal agencies.

WAY TO GO, Judy! -- USAF COMMANDO SOLO: AERIAL MIND CONTROL BROADCASTS The United States Air Force uses aerial mind-control broadcasts against civilian population as well as enemy troops. Some of these actions against civilians are done with the intent of influencing public opinion and the outcome of elections. In a previous article, we examined mind-control technology, especially that utilizing Silent Sound [TM], in which radio-frequency broadcasts carry subliminal patterns that entrain the listener's brainwaves into a pre-selected emotional state. According to ITV wire service reports, this technology was used during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, as part of the US Psychological Operations (PsyOps) directed against Iraqi troops. [1,2] To the Desert Storm offensive we can now add several other incidents. Alex Horvat, editor of The Probe, calls to our attention the 1998 video, Exotic Weapons of Mass Control, produced by Bob Fletcher. "The excerpt played on Fletcher's video is from TLC (The Learning Channel) and clearly states that Commando Solo was used in Haiti for what was called Operation Uphold Democracy. As the general populace was violently opposed to Aristide and most in favor of his ouster, it took nearly a year of this clandestine counter-programming to get them to change their minds. Instead of butchering a population physically, we can no manipulate them mentally, virtually enslaving their thoughts with a criss-cross pattern of flights by an EC-130 (which is just a C-130 heavily laden with electronic hardware.) [3] We were not at war with the citizens of Haiti, yet the U.S. Government directed military weapons against this friendly, or at least neutral, civilian population. The U.S. Government sanction the "rigging" of the Haitian election by mental control of the people, programming them to cast their votes for the Americans' favored candidate. And they had the nerve to call it "Operation Uphold Democracy". Some sense of humor! Stalin would have loved it. Hitler would have loved it. Why is the U.S. Government doing this? Who is behind this flagrant violation of civil liberties? Is it the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) which has a long history of interfering in foreign government politics? Or has this become standard military procedure? The rationale is always the same: "to make the world safe for democracy". Yet what is democracy if not freedom? Freedom to think your own thoughts; freedom to express your own opinions; freedome to vote for the candidate of your own choice. Fletcher's video also mentions that the same technology was used against the Bosnia population for a week to influence their election. [4] This was probably done during Operation Joint Guard in 1995. [5] The questions arise: If they have used mind-control broadcasts against foreign civilian populations to influence elections, will they use them against American citizens or have they already?

Onl /A - Who's Against The Us Drug War? Only The Rest Of The World! FILED 11/12/99 Photos Courtesy Of Common Sense For Drug Policy/Lennice Wirth WASHINGTON, DC--Military and civilian "drug czars" from all over the Western Hemisphere convened here last week for a pep talk from US antidope generalissimo Barry McCaffrey of the White House, and got quite a bit more than they'd expected. Night of The Drug Generals: Stop the War NOW! First of all, there was the plainly-worded open letter denouncing Gen. McCaffrey's scorched-earth policies of hemispheric herbicide warfare and military subjugation of all Latin America's poor folk in the name of the US War on Drugs. Hand-delivered to each of the 37 delegates at the Organization of American States' special drug summit at the plush Omni-Shoreham Hotel, this elegant communication had to give each of these drug czars something special to think about. Among its signatories were sundry current and former Latin American political luminaries who might quite likely wind up running their respective countries' governments someday, given the stray democratic election or cabinet reshuffle or bloodless coup. Then there were the continual noisy political protests right out in front of the Omni-Shoreham, a vivid reminder that Gen. McCaffrey's iron grip on US foreign "drug-control" policy over the last three years is a matter of some controversy, and can actually be challenged right out there in the streets of the capital of this particular OAS democracy. Sweet Reason vs. Brass and Braid Among the open letter's signatories were Oscar Arias and Belisario Betancur, former presidents of Costa Rica and Colombia respectively, and both still highly influential in their governments and political parties. Violetta Chamorro, president of Nicaragua until last year, signed on to the protest against McCaffrey's hemispheric Drug War, as did Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel. (President Arias also has a Nobel Peace prize, by the way.) Very notable among the influential US political figures who signed on to this firmly-worded document of dissent was the former US Ambassador to El Salvador, the Hon. Robert White. Altogether, the collection of Latin American brass and braid assembled by McCaffrey for his pep talk were conspicuously outweighed by the caliber of the civilian opposition to his hemispheric Drug Warmongering. The Generalissimo Burns Up REAL Good! "As you meet to develop a hemispheric drug strategy," these 37 drug czars were notified, "it is time to admit that after two decades, the US war on drugs--both in Latin America and in the United States--is a failure. Despite a 17-fold increase in US drug-war spending since 1980, record seizures, arrests, and incarcerations at home, and destruction abroad of hundreds of drug labs and coca and poppy crops, today in the US illicit drugs are cheaper, more potent, and more easily available than two decades ago." The letter wound up with the rather grim warning, "Expanding the US drug war to other countries will merely further expand the failure of drug control throughout the hemisphere, while escalating killings and environmental destruction." Some Sinister Plot, Or What? There was less than no problem inducing intelligent international people to sign on to this document, says its primary organizer, Kevin Zeese of Common Sense for Drug Policy in Virginia. It was Zeese, largely, who last year got more than a hundred international luminaries, including Ronald Reagan's ex-Secretary of State, the Hon. George Schultz , to sign an even stiffer indictment of McCaffrey's Drug-War policies before a prestigious United Nations "global drug summit." (This much-ballyhooed UN drug summit just completely flopped as a direct result, leaving McCaffrey to growl about sinister "drug legalizers" with uncanny powers of persuasion, to get people like George Schultz to publicly agree with them, presumably by brainwashing or blackmail.) "The objective is to show that the Drug War position is the extreme position, not the normal one," says Zeese. "Focusing on signatures of former heads of state, some of the very men and women who signed the huge letter expressing disgust with the US and UN drug strategies that was delivered to the UN drug summit last year, and published in the NEW YORK TIMES, this most recent letter was delivered to everyone in attendance at the OAS summit last week, and to all their embassies." Hands Across The Waters The street demos at the Omni-Shoreham were largely the work of organizers from several Latin American political watchdog groups and human-rights outfits. Among the speakers were Cristina Espinel-Roberts of the Colombia Human Rights Committee, legislative coordinator Lisa Haugaard of the Latin-Ame rica Working Group,

She opened her "art" exhibit in an obscure Arab town called Um Al Fahd, whose only only claim to fame is a roadside cafe with decent grilled lamb, as a statement for peace and the following week moved her treasures to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, which responded by footing the bill for full page ads advertising the honor of her presence. Since Ono is hardly in demand anywhere, one may legitimately ask what she is doing in Israel spreading her vision of world harmony. To do so, it might be a good idea to examine a few alternative views of who she is in the first place. An important place to start might be a book written by a London attorney, Fenton Bressler, called Who Killed John Lennon. Bressler makes a strong argument that Lennon's murderer was one of a long line of programmed killers. Like Oswald, Sirhan, Amir, Sarah Jane Moore, Squeaky Fromme, Hinckley, et al, Mark David Chapman was a rather confused young person who was isolated for a time from his regular circumstances. In his case, he spent the summer of 1975 in Beirut, Lebanon, just when the civil war broke out, as a youth trainer for the YMCA. Bresler notes that the YMCA is one of those international organizations the CIA utilizes to plant agents worldwide and his conclusion is that the CIA knocked off Lennon because he was planning a comeback that threatened its militaristic philosophy. More likely, Chapman was a New World Order patsy programmed to eliminate a similar stooge for very different reasons. After Chapman's Beirut sojourn, he felt impelled to fly to Hawaii where he courted and married a Japanese woman whose similarity to Ono was more than uncanny. Just before shooting Lennon, the penniless Chapman found the funds to crisscross continental America. He arrived in New York in 1980 carrying his precious copy of J.D. Salinger's classic book, The Catcher In The Rye. After shooting Lennon, Chapman waited patiently for the police to arrive and they found him reading Salinger with great intensity. Under questioning, Chapman didn't actually remember the moment of the shooting but said he had no strong feelings towards Lennon one way or another. In fact, he never even bought a Lennon album. He murdered him, he insisted, to prove that HE was the real Catcher In The Rye. Now there's a rational motive, if you happen to be psychologically programmed to kill. Sarah Jane Moore thought she was a character in the Donna Reed Show, a mild tv sitcom of the 1960s, while Squeaky Fromme claimed to be a Clairol Girl, from a TV commercial of the same era. Meanwhile, a few months later, the new president, Ronald Reagan was shot by a patsy named Hinckley who claimed he saw the film Taxi Driver and wanted to murder the president to impress its star, Jody Foster. One could legitimately surmise that Lennon's murder was just a dry run to test whether the public would buy the Foster motive after the real target, Reagan, was murdered, to be replaced by the NWO star George Bush. Reagan's intended demise was a repeat of the two attempts on Ford by Moore and Fromme, whose goal was to get the New World Order superstar Nelson Rockefeller into the White House. Yoko Ono, a product of a prominent Japanese military and financial powerhouse family, was planted in the Beatles to break them up. In this, her ever obnoxious presence did the trick. Her next stage was to turn everbody's choice as the most intellectual Beatle, into a NWO ass. It wasn't long before she had Lennon posing naked on his most embarassing album, sitting in a burlap sack during a bed-in for peace and sending acorns to world leaders for motives less than clear then and downright ridiculous now. And the more Lennon became a clown, the more his programmed obsession with Ono increased. Why would Lennon be such an easy target for mind manipulation? Albert Goldman, in his biography of Lennon, maintains that he was a violent, unstable personality who beat band member Stu Sutcliffe so badly that he died of a blood clot in the brain shortly after. He insists that Lennon had a homosexual relationship with manager Brian Epstein and had a personal hand in his unexplainable "suicide," a claim that Paul McCartney unconvincingly dismissed in a recent BBC documentary. However Ono did it, Lennon began writing songs that fit the NWO agenda like a glove. In his first solo album, the most memorable song, called God, attempts to destroy religion as thoroughly as possible. The song begins with the line, "God is a concept by which we measure our pain," a patently false observation. As any religious person will explain, God is a concept by which we measure our joy.
[CTRL] Secret Evidence Stereotypes
-Caveat Lector- Secret Evidence Stereotypes Dateline: 12/02/99 The Nasser Ahmed affair, recently resolved, illustrates two horrible aspects of American law: first, the notion that secret evidence is permissible in a democratic society; second, that some kinds of discrimination are still allowed in the United States. If you havent been following this story, Ahmed is an Arab who had been held until November 30 in solitary confinement by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) pending a judicial order for deportation based on his alleged association with a known terrorist organization. Since 1996, he had been held, having never been charged and never permitted to confront the evidence presented against him. Finally, the evidence was presented to a federal immigration judge (although never to Ahmed or his lawyer) who ordered his release. Even after the Board of Immigration Appeals sided again with Ahmed, the INS continued its appeal, asking the Attorney General, Janet Reno, to overrule the two judicial entities. Ultimately and without stated reason, the INS gave up its appeal and allowed Ahmed to go free. This is a major threat to the liberty of all people living in the United States. The idea of the government being able to present secret evidence that you cannot review ought to scare you to death. It is also a perversion of the Constitutional protections guaranteed to all who appear in American courts. The Sixth Amendment guarantees that all accused persons in criminal trials shall have the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him. U.S. Const. amd. VI. It is true that deporting a non-citizen is not a criminal trial, but the proceeding is so similar to a criminal trial (complete with a penalty for those found guilty) that it ought to be treated as such constitutionally. As important as the constitutional issues are the societal issues raised by this case. For some reason, discrimination against some groups is acceptable in the United States. Of course it has probably always been that way -- Polish jokes have been circulating for years, for example. But when that discrimination rises to the level of imprisoning members of the group for no cause other than what would be shown by secret evidence if only they could show it to you, an unacceptable barrier has been breached. The Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee reports that almost all of the individuals facing deportation without charge and on the basis of secret evidence are Arabs. This situation is intolerable. It is a threat to everybodys liberty that the government is permitted on the basis of secret evidence and racial stereotypes to imprison or deport anybody. Although it is easy to disagree with the American Civil Liberties Union in many cases, they are correct in labeling this case a tragedy. http://arabculture.about.com/culture/arabculture/library/weekly/aa120299.ht m DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Israel Builds China's First AWACS Aircraft
-Caveat Lector- http://208.138.42.193/forum/a3846aad804bf.htm Israel Builds China's First AWACS Aircraft Source: Aviation Week Space Technology Published: November 29, 1999 Author: David A. Fulghum The commander of China's air force, Lt. Gen. Liu Shunyao, and the nation's president, Jiang Zemin, have both said this month that the air service will change from a relatively immobile, short-range force, dedicated to defending the air space around its major bases, to a modern military arm capable of projecting power across borders and oceans. This kind of announcement has been made on a predictable basis since 1996, when Liu took command of the air force and the first U.S.-made F-16s were delivered to Taiwan. But in 1999, the well-worn rhetoric was assigned a more sinister meaning by some in the U.S. Just as the speeches were delivered, a new, Russian-built, A-50 airframe arrived at an airport near Tel Aviv. There the four-engine aircraft is being fitted with an Israeli-designed Phalcon early warning and airborne control system. The installation began on Oct. 25 and is slated to be completed by Elta, Israel Aircraft Industries' electronic subsidiary, in about a year. The contract reportedly has options for three additional aircraft. Each of the four aircraft, with radar installed, is to cost $250 million. A U.S. Air Force official said the Elta radar system will have three phased-array, L-band antennas set in a triangle inside a nonrotating dome to give 360-deg. coverage to a range "greater than 190 naut. mi." The low frequency, combined with high-speed processing and specialized software to eliminate noise, could give the aircraft some potential for seeing stealth aircraft or cruise missiles. The antistealth capability is already going into allied E-3 AWACS with the latest radar improvement package. The system will have suites for electronic countermeasures (for protecting the aircraft from attack) and signals intelligence reconnaissance (for locating and identifying enemy electronic emissions such as radars). The system will also have the ability to adapt the radar's search and track priorities, he said. Israeli officials assured the Clinton Administration that no U.S. technology was involved, and that the State Dept. had been notified when the contract was signed in July 1996. The Administration has asked that the transaction be reconsidered. Israeli officials want to know why the proposed sale of airborne radars to China by British firm GEC-Marconi hasn't also been questioned. The British firm is offering its Argus 2000, a 1970s technology that is installed in Royal Air Force Nimrod patrol aircraft. There have been suggestions that there could be some sort of flyoff between the British and Israeli systems, especially if the Chinese aren't happy with the IAI system which may be only a "testbed for validation purposes," a U.S. analyst said. In support of this scenario, GEC-Marconi officials say they are still in active negotiations with China to sell their AWACS system and consider themselves still in the competition. However, U.S. Air Force officials dismiss the flyoff idea, saying China would not spend that much money on a demonstration system. They also note that Elta plans to market the Phalcon system to India, South Korea and Turkey. DESPITE A KNEE-JERK objection to the sale from conservative factions in Washington, virtually no one with a knowledge of the industrial, training, logistics or doctrinal straitjacket worn by the Chinese military see acquisition of the aircraft as a threat. While its role would resemble that of the E-3 AWACS flown by NATO, Britain and the U.S., it would likely be a far simpler aircraft, the product of a much smaller investment in modern technology. For example, Elta installed a version of the Phalcon AWACS system on a Boeing 707 for the Chilean air force several years ago. Because of the limited funding available when the Chilean system was designed, the radar is very accurate in determining the azimuth of other aircraft, but far less so in some other parameters. However, any AWACS system would give the Chinese aircrews, with practice, enough capability to operate more than four aircraft together in the same airspace, a current limitation that stems from the difficulty of positive air control. Certainly, China has bought two regiments of Su-27s from Russia and would like to build 200 indigenously. The government also has contracted to buy perhaps 40 two-seat Su-30 strike aircraft with delivery to begin in 2000. China's air force also has a limited inflight refueling capability with a half-dozen converted H-6 (a reverse engineered Tu-16) bombers equipped with wing-tip drogues. And prototypes of an indigenous fighter, the F-10, first flown in 1998, are under construction. Moreover, after more than two years of negotiations with the Russians, the Israelis were finally
[CTRL] A Bank of England Conspiracy?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.skyenet.net/~gerryr/bank.htm A Bank of England Conspiracy? ©1997 by Gerry Rough The Bank of England holds a special place in the hearts of New World Order conspiracy theorists. It is here that the central banking mechanism begins to appear in the pages of history, although in the late seventeenth century it was still not a central bank in the modern sense. Considered by many to be the virtual hub of the New World Order, the Bank has somehow managed to remain a mystery to be solved; no small temptation indeed for the faithful. With this new mechanism in place, the New World Order can now begin its final assault to enslave the planet. The central banking mechanism, you see, represents the power of the rich to control the masses. It represents one of the last steps to be put in place before the New World Order finally reveals itself as the dark beast that it is. Lets take a look at the history of the Bank of England and see if indeed there is a conspiracy that emerges. G. Edward Griffin provides our first glimpse: England was financially exhausted after half a century of war Unable to increase taxes and unable to borrow, Parliament became desperate for some other way to obtain money There were two groups of men who saw a unique opportunity arise out of this necessity. The first group consisted of the political scientists within the government. The second was comprised of the monetary scientists from the emerging business of banking The two groups came together and formed an alliance. No, that is too soft a word. The American heritage dictionary defines a cabal as "A conspiratorial group of plotters or intriguers." There is no Cabal met in Mercer's chapel in London and hammered out a seven point plan which would serve their mutual purposes.[1] Conspicuously absent from Griffin's text, however, as well as all other conspiracy texts, Parliament actually had several schemes for producing new revenue. More importantly, Sir John Clapham, author of the classic The Bank of England: A History, puts these new banking schemes into a much broader context: In June 1687 there began to reach London the first treasure salved by an English company from a Spanish ship lost over forty years earlier near Hispaniola This whetted the appetite of the promoters -- the projectors as they were called -- of a vigorous and inventive age, in which all sorts of men were "joining their heads to understand the useful things in life", and to make money. The Revolution over and Dutch William on the throne, a whole series of treasure hunting companies was set up, forerunners or products of the promoting boom of 1692-5, in which both the Bank of England and the Bank of Scotland came into existence [2] So Griffin's assertion of conspiracy falls under its own weight when viewed as a larger movement during the 1692-1695 time period. Further, Parliament rejected William Paterson's idea not once, but twice before finally passing the law: a blatant contradiction not found in any writings of conspiratorial repute. [3] Of interesting note, the Bank of Scotland mentioned above was formed under almost identical circumstances yet is nowhere mentioned as part of the New World Order. It would seem as though history itself has provided its own argument against the conspiracy theorists. The "treasure hunting companies" mentioned above should not be interpreted in the modern context of those seeking lost treasure. Rather, Clapham is speaking of those finding new and inventive ways of making money, most of which ended in failure. [4] The meeting at Mercer's chapel? Hardly a conspiracy, it was completely public. Anyone who wanted to subscribe to the original stock could do so. As R.D. Richards puts it: [A]ny person or persons, natives or foreigners, bodies politic or corporate. [5] Let's not forget the seven point plan, either. It never existed. Griffin himself fabricated the idea from the two sources he gives for it. [6] Griffin again provides more analysis: The new money created by the Bank of England splashed through the economy like rain in April Consequently, when these plentiful banknotes landed in their [the country banks'] hands, they quickly put them into the vaults and then issued their own certificates in even greater amounts. As a result of this pyramiding effect, prices rose 100% in just two years. Then, the inevitable happened: There was a run on the bank, and the Bank of England could not produce the coin In May of 1696, just two years after the Bank was formed, a law was passed authorizing it to "suspend payment in specie" [suspend payment in gold for the
[CTRL] More Evidence on the Bank of England: Part 1
-Caveat Lector- http://www.skyenet.net/~gerryr/bofe2.htm More Evidence on the Bank of England: Part 1 ©1998 by Gerry Rough This essay is an add-on to the first essay I wrote on the history of the Bank of England. With this essay, all of the arguments the conspiracy theorists have written on this issue in book form will have been dealt with exhaustively, at least to my knowledge. The few arguments that are not dealt with were considered to be too trivial. There are some other arguments on this issue as well that were skipped because I chose to stick with the history and the operations of the Bank itself, without getting too far off course. There are a few here that overlap my first essay, but all of the arguments presented are new material. Let's take a closer look at the credibility of the conspiracy theorists on this issue. G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island is our first writer examined: England was financially exhausted after half a century of war Unable to increase taxes and unable to borrow, Parliament became desperate for some other way to obtain the money There were two groups of men who saw a unique opportunity arise out of this necessity. The first group consisted of the political scientists within the government. The second was comprised of the monetary scientists from the emerging business of banking The two groups came together and formed an alliance. No, that is too soft a word. The American heritage dictionary defines a cabal as "A conspiratorial group of plotters or intriguers." There is no other word that could so accurately describe this group The Cabal met in Mercer's chapel in London and hammered out a seven point plan which would serve their mutual purposes.[1] Now let's take a look at the accuracy of Griffin's paragraph. His narrative from here almost immediately begins to show serious signs of fabrication. The two groups mentioned, the "monetary scientists" and the "political scientists," never existed. At this point, Griffin has fabricated two historical boogiemen for his reader. There are no historical accounts anywhere that detail a meeting between any two groups that formulated the idea for what would later become the Bank of England. Griffin had to have known this since his main historical source for this passage is R.D. Richards, one of the premiere writers on the Bank of England. In no historical accounts of the era is any credit ever given to other than that of William Paterson alone for the founding of the Bank of England. Of the three standard works on the early history of the Bank of England, Richards is the only one cited in Griffin's bibliography.[2] Richards' text even directly contradicts Griffin's assertion of a private meeting between two groups that formed the Bank of England: The Bank was established, under the authority of sixteen sections of the Tunnage Act of 1694, for "the better raising and paying into the Receipt of the Exchequer the sum of Twelve hundred thousand pounds, Part of the sum of fifteen hundred thousand pounds." Their Majesties were authorized to appoint Commissioners to receive subscriptions on, or before, 1st August 1694, by "any person or persons, natives or foreigners, bodies politic or corporate," who, provided the full loan or "a moiety thereof" was subscribed before 1st August 1694, were to be incorporated under the title of "The Governor and Company of the Bank of England."[3] As you can see, a public subscription for a new joint-stock enterprise has been deliberately twisted into a private meeting of "a conspiratorial group of plotters or intriguers." Further, Richards states two pages later: The Bank's original capital of £1,200,000 was quickly subscribed. Narcissus Luttrell, the diarist of the day, states that the subscription lists were opened in "the Mercer's Chappel" on 21st June 1694; that the Lords of the Treasury "came themselves and subscribed £10,000 for the Queen"; that Sir Robert Howard, the auditor of the Exchequer of Receipt, and his son were responsible for £18,000 and Sir John Houblon for £10,000; that the total of subscriptions for the first day amounted to £300,000, and for the first three days to £600,000, which meant that the subscribers became a corporation, and that by noon on 2nd July the total of £1,200,000 had been completed.[4] The above is on the very page that Griffin himself cited. Griffin had full knowledge that the meeting at Mercer's Chapel was a public invitation to a subscription list, yet deliberately fabricated otherwise. Further, even if we confine ourselves only to Richards' text which Griffin used, we find quickly that chapter 4 is
[CTRL] More Evidence on the Bank of England: Part 2
-Caveat Lector- http://www.skyenet.net/~gerryr/bofe3.html More Evidence on the Bank of England: Part 2 ©1998 by Gerry Rough In part one of this essay, we have taken a serious look at some of the evidence that the Bank of England was involved in a conspiracy. Let's now finish with the evidence presented, then summarize what we have learned. Des Griffin also states that "the names of the founders have never been made public." It is appropriate here as well to digress in order to clarify the issue. Conspiracy theorists are quick to point out this fact as proof of a conspiracy. `If it were not a conspiracy, then why the secrecy surrounding this group?' so the argument would go. The fact of the matter is that indeed we do know who the founders were. The man given the historical credit for the founding of the Bank of England is none other than that of William Paterson himself, as stated earlier. If the conspiracy theorists want to know the names of the founders (plural), we know these as well. Richards' text names all of the original court of directors as well as the first Governor and the first Deputy Governor.[1] These would be the only group that could conceivably be called the founders. Lastly, if the conspiracy theorists want to know the names of the City merchants who helped Paterson promote his idea for a bank (which is really the real issue involved here -- not the other names ridiculously given this group by the conspiracy theorists), the point is moot at best. We don't know their names, but they neither profited from the Bank, nor did they ever have any voice in the operations of the Bank, which are the two points that the conspiracy theorists try to make in the first place. So the real mystery here is not the names of any person or persons associated with the Bank of England, but what the historical fuss is all about! While we are still on the subject of secret groups and anonymous names, Eustace Mullins writes the following: Paterson had found himself unable to work with the Bank of England's stockholders. Many of them remained anonymous, but an early description of the Bank of England stated it was "A society of about 1330 persons, including the King and Queen of England, who had 10,000 pounds of stock, the Duke of Leeds, Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Pembroke and the Earl of Bradford."[2] Mullins' source for this information was Clapham's text, The Bank of England: A History. It is extremely unlikely that Mullins used any other source. Below is the text Mullins used, which he failed to properly cite in his footnotes. Clapham writes: Early descriptions of the Bank call it a "Society consisting of about 1300 persons." To be exact, including the King and Queen, whose names were put down jointly by the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury for £10,000, A few other noblemen with considerable holdings -- the Duke of Leeds, the Duke of Devonshire, the Earl of Pembroke, the Earl of Bradford[3] If we compare the similarity of the two statements, they are almost identical, making it unlikely that Mullins used another source. Further, Clapham's text is well known and readily available at any good library. Notice that Clapham's text is talking about the stockholders of the Bank of England. The pages quoted above are the first two pages of chapter VIII of Clapham's text, "The Proprietors of Bank Stock, 1694-1697." On the first page, page 273, Mullins was made aware that there were published accounts of the original subscribers of Bank stock. The following footnote is found at the bottom of page 273: Angliae Tutamen, p. 5. The Book of the Subscriptions contains 1520 entries; but some people subscribed in installments.[4] Again, another footnote only two pages later should have alerted Mullins to his obvious error: The Book of the Subscriptions has names, address and signatures.[5] So, Mullins has been caught deliberately fabricating his statement that some of the subscribers were anonymous. He was fully aware that the names were public material, yet stated otherwise. His probable source for this assertion is William Guy Carr, since Carr is mentioned as a bibliographical reference source. Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Author of, Money! Questions and Answers, writes this of the Bank's beginning: But the British government now allows private individuals to coin and regulate money. How and when it did this come about? In 1694, William of Orange, King of England, needed money to raise an army for the purpose of keeping the Stuarts from regaining the crown. He went to the rich merchants in London to acquire this money. They agreed to lend it to him, provided he would give them the right of issuing bank notes against the

-Caveat Lector- http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/336/business/ Cisco_cooking_up_a_microwave_marvelP.shtml Cisco cooking up a microwave marvel Plans to roll out next generation in Internet and phone access By Alex Pham, Globe Staff, 12/02/99 SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Microwaves, best known for their use in the kitchen, are poised to become the latest wireless technology for beaming Internet and phone service into homes and small businesses. In a briefing for reporters yesterday, Cisco Systems Inc. of San Jose outlined what it says will be the next generation in Internet and phone access, which it will debut next year. Using low-frequency microwaves, Cisco executives say their equipment can deliver high-speed Internet connection, teleconferencing, or telephone service -- without wires or cables. All that is needed by the user is a special antenna and a box the size of a large notebook with multiple jacks to plug in computers and phones. The services would be transmitted via base stations installed throughout a city or neighborhood. Such access offers several advantages over current options, such as cable modems, telephone dial-up access, or digital subscriber lines, or DSL, analysts say. It moves consumers away from cumbersome wires, and it's less expensive to install than cable or fiber. "It's cheap, and it's fast," said Howard Anderson, chairman of the Yankee Group in Boston. "I don't have to dig up your street to lay down cables. All I need are a couple of transmission towers. That's why this technology is being used." In addition, wireless broadband access has two to 10 times the range of DSL, which can only be installed within three or so miles of a central station. With wireless broadband frequencies, service can be provided as far as away as 30 miles if the line of sight between the user's antenna and the base station is unobstructed. If obstructed by objects such as trees or buildings, the range drops to six miles, according to Greg Raleigh, a director of engineering at Cisco, and the scientist who helped develop the technology through a company called Clarity Wireless of Belmont, Calif. Cisco purchased Clarity in 1998 for $157 million. Because of its reach, broadband wireless technology can beam high-speed connections via microwave bands to places where wires would be difficult or uneconomical to install, such as across rivers or canyons. That potentially opens the Internet gates to millions of new users, said Donald Listwin, executive vice president of Cisco. As of July, 37.4 percent of the US population had Internet access, according to Nielsen Net Ratings, leaving more than 160 million Americans who have yet to sign up for Internet access. Of those who have Internet access, few have high-speed "live" connections that are always on, like telephone dial tones. That leaves the vast majority of Americans as potential subscribers to Cisco's nimbler wireless alternative. "Wireless is hot this year," said Chris Stix, managing director of SG Cowen Securities Corp. in Boston. Cisco, generally known as an supplier of Internet equipment, will not be in the business of selling Internet or phone access. Instead, starting next week, Cisco will sell the technology to companies that want to provide the service, from large telecommunications firms to niche entrepreneurs. Because the use of these microwave bands does not currently require licenses from the Federal Communications Commission, small companies can more easily jump into the business of providing Internet access by simply purchasing and installing Cisco equipment, which starts at $150,000 for a base unit that can support up to 3,000 simultaneous, active Net users. Though it has yet to receive orders for its new product, Cisco is predicting it will sell more than $3 billion in wireless equipment next year. Though that amount is just a fraction of Cisco's annual revenue of $12.2 billion in fiscal 1999, sales of its broadband wireless equipment are expected to grow rapidly, topping $7 billion in 2003, said Steve Smith, a director of marketing for Cisco. Consumers, however, will probably not see broadband wireless access until late next year, after service providers have had a chance to purchase, deploy, and market the new technology, said Listwin. In the meantime, Cisco has built an alliance of companies to support its new wireless technology, including Motorola, Samsung, Texas Instruments, EDS, Toshiba, Broadcom, and Bechtel, among others. Toshiba, Motorola and Samsung, for example, are developing the notebook-size boxes that would go into homes. Broadcom and Texas Instruments are making the microprocessors that run the boxes. And EDS, Motorola, and Bechtel are forming a partnership to help service providers install the networks. Broadband wireless technology is one of many new areas for Cisco, which is known primarly as a
[CTRL] Lawsuit-NSA Spying On Americans
-Caveat Lector- DECEMBER 3, 1999 . . . 17:35 -- -- Lawsuit claims NSA spying on Americans BY DANIEL VERTON ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The privacy watchdog group Electronic Privacy Information Center today filed a lawsuit in federal court that aims to force the National Security Agency to release sensitive documents thought to contain evidence of surveillance operations against U.S. citizens. EPIC wants to obtain documents recently denied to Congress by NSA's General Counsel on the grounds of attorney/client privilege. NSA also has failed to reply to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by EPIC to obtain the documents. The lawsuit centers on documents that are said to detail the operations of the so-called Echelon global surveillance network. Details surrounding Echelon came to light last year when the European Union launched a full-scale investigation into privacy abuses against European citizens by the NSA ["European Union may investigate U.S. global spy computer network," fcw.com, Nov. 17, 1998]. EPIC director Marc Rotenberg said in a statement released to the press, "The charter of the National Security Agency does not authorize domestic intelligence-gathering. Yet we have reason to believe that the NSA is engaged in the indiscriminate acquisition and interception of domestic communications taking place over the Internet." A spokesperson for the agency said, "NSA operates in strict accordance with U.S. laws and regulations in protecting the privacy rights of U.S. persons. Its activities are conducted with the highest constitutional, legal and ethical standards." Echelon, a Cold War-vintage global spy system, is believed to consist of a worldwide network of clandestine listening posts capable of intercepting electronic communications such as e-mail, telephone conversations, faxes, satellite transmissions, microwave links and fiber-optic communications traffic. EPIC is planning a major study of the Echelon network to be published next year that looks at the operations of signals intelligence agencies around the world, such as the NSA. "We expect that Congress will hold hearings on this early next year and we plan to pursue our case very aggressively," Rotenberg told FCW. "If the NSA is intercepting Internet communications of U.S. citizens -- and we believe they are -- then it is a critical question of Constitutional government to determine whether they are acting within the law or outside of it."

[CTRL] Cisco cooking up a microwave marvel
-Caveat Lector- From: Bill Kingsbury [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/336/business/ Cisco_cooking_up_a_microwave_marvelP.shtml Cisco cooking up a microwave marvel Plans to roll out next generation in Internet and phone access By Alex Pham, Globe Staff, 12/02/99 SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Microwaves, best known for their use in the kitchen, are poised to become the latest wireless technology for beaming Internet and phone service into homes and small businesses. In a briefing for reporters yesterday, Cisco Systems Inc. of San Jose outlined what it says will be the next generation in Internet and phone access, which it will debut next year. Using low-frequency microwaves, Cisco executives say their equipment can deliver high-speed Internet connection, teleconferencing, or telephone service -- without wires or cables. All that is needed by the user is a special antenna and a box the size of a large notebook with multiple jacks to plug in computers and phones. The services would be transmitted via base stations installed throughout a city or neighborhood. Such access offers several advantages over current options, such as cable modems, telephone dial-up access, or digital subscriber lines, or DSL, analysts say. It moves consumers away from cumbersome wires, and it's less expensive to install than cable or fiber. "It's cheap, and it's fast," said Howard Anderson, chairman of the Yankee Group in Boston. "I don't have to dig up your street to lay down cables. All I need are a couple of transmission towers. That's why this technology is being used." In addition, wireless broadband access has two to 10 times the range of DSL, which can only be installed within three or so miles of a central station. With wireless broadband frequencies, service can be provided as far as away as 30 miles if the line of sight between the user's antenna and the base station is unobstructed. If obstructed by objects such as trees or buildings, the range drops to six miles, according to Greg Raleigh, a director of engineering at Cisco, and the scientist who helped develop the technology through a company called Clarity Wireless of Belmont, Calif. Cisco purchased Clarity in 1998 for $157 million. Because of its reach, broadband wireless technology can beam high-speed connections via microwave bands to places where wires would be difficult or uneconomical to install, such as across rivers or canyons. That potentially opens the Internet gates to millions of new users, said Donald Listwin, executive vice president of Cisco. As of July, 37.4 percent of the US population had Internet access, according to Nielsen Net Ratings, leaving more than 160 million Americans who have yet to sign up for Internet access. Of those who have Internet access, few have high-speed "live" connections that are always on, like telephone dial tones. That leaves the vast majority of Americans as potential subscribers to Cisco's nimbler wireless alternative. "Wireless is hot this year," said Chris Stix, managing director of SG Cowen Securities Corp. in Boston. Cisco, generally known as an supplier of Internet equipment, will not be in the business of selling Internet or phone access. Instead, starting next week, Cisco will sell the technology to companies that want to provide the service, from large telecommunications firms to niche entrepreneurs.

[CTRL] more on Mein Kampf
-Caveat Lector- no, not mine, but Hitler's, can be read at: http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,32835,00.html where we get an update on the attempt by the state of Bavaria in Germany (led by the Simon Wiesenthal Center) to ban Internet sales of "Mein Kampf" to Germany. So far, amazon.com has responded by refusing Nov. 17 to sell the book to anyone outside the U.S. (according to this article), while BarnesAndNoble.com has stated it will not comply unless it is furnished a list of all books that are banned. A German Justice Ministry spokesman stated: "Until they get this list, they said they can't do anything, and that's of course wrong. In Germany it's not allowed to sell hate literature, literature of the Nazis. They have to decide on their own. They don't need a list. Of course there is no such list. Newer books are I think more dangerous than Mein Kampf by Hitler. We don't want to have this literature in everybody's hands. So it has to be forbidden." (The spokesman went on to say that it is not the book itself that is forbidden, but the distributing it to just anyone that is forbidden--apparently a bookseller can decide to sell it to a serious student, for example--and that is why Internet distribution is considered so dangerous.) On the other hand, the author of the article points out: "Hitler was the one who believed in suppressing ideas. One of the earliest and most chilling indications of that were the infamous book burnings on 10 May 1933. Could Hitler have had such an easy time consolidating his power had the free dispersal of information not been suppressed?" At least it appears that, unlike the Compuserve case in Germany, nobody is threatened with jail for distributing something on the Internet this time.

NewsHawk® Inc. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Original Message Subject: Mass Psychotropic Drugging Date: Fri, 03 Dec 1999 22:14:36 -0500 From: Ian Goddard [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's amazing to think that as of 1996, 10 to 12 percent of schoolboys in the U.S were on an addictive drug, Ritalin, about which the manufacture states: "Sufficient data on safety and efficacy of long-term use of Ritalin in children are not yet available. ... Long-term effects of Ritalin in children have not been well established." (1998) While the statements are an effort to avoid liability for any harm caused by their product, they're also largely true: after being on the market for decades, there are few if any long-term studies on Ritalin use. But there are some clues. The manufacture's insert also notes that growth suppression has been reported. Some research suggests the possibility of brain atrophy after chronic use. Those concerns may prove unfounded, but what if they prove true and millions of lives are forever diminished during a reckless diagnostic fad that redefines normal young-male behavior as a psychiatric disorder requiring drug addiction? It's good to see a popular columnist like George Will take on this reckless and even totalitarian venture into mass drugging: Boys Will Be Boys, or you can just drug them. George F. Will: http://www.sacbee.com/voices/national/will/will_19991202.html == The subtitle appears in The Washington Post (12/02/99, A39). Here's a select excerpt: == Boys Will Be Boys, or you can just drug them. By George F. Will (12/02/99) [...] One theory holds that ADHD is epidemic because of the modern acceleration of life--the environmental blitzkrieg of MTV, video games, e-mail, cell phones, etc. But the magazine Lingua Franca reports that Ken Jacobson, a doctoral candidate in anthropology at the University of Massachusetts, conducted a cross-cultural study of ADHD that included observation of two groups of English school children, one diagnosed with ADHD, the other not. He observed them with reference to 35 behaviors (e.g., "giggling," "squirming," "blurting out") and found no significant differences between the groups. Children, he says, tend to talk, fidget and fool around-- "all the classical ADHD-type behaviors. If you're predisposed to label any child as ADHD, the distracted troublemaker or the model student, you'll find a way to observe these behaviors." So what might explain such a predisposition? Paul R. McHugh, professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, writing in Commentary, argues that ADHD, "social phobia" (usual symptom: fear of public speaking) and other disorders certified by the American Psychiatric Association's "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" are proliferating rapidly. This is because of a growing tendency to regard as mental problems many characteristics that are really aspects of individuality. So pharmacology is employed to relieve burdensome aspects of temperament. "Psychiatric conditions," says McHugh, "are routinely differentiated by appearances alone," even when it is "difficult to distinguish symptoms of illness from normal variations in human life," or from the normal responses of sensitive people to life's challenges. But if a condition can be described, it can be named; once named, a distinct disorder can be linked to a particular treatment. McHugh says some experts who certify new disorders "receive extravagant annual retainers from pharmaceutical companies that profit from the promotion of disorders treatable by the companies' medications." The idea that most individuals deficient inattentiveness or confidence are sick encourages what McHugh calls pharmacological "mental cosmetics." This "should be offensive to anyone who values the richness of human psychological diversity. Both

Hilary Source: The Washington Times http://www.washtimes.com/ U.N. crimes court gets support without U.S. http://www.washtimes.com/internatl/internatl1.html By Betsy Pisik THE WASHINGTON TIMES NEW YORK The United States has resigned itself to the eventual creation -- over Washington's objections -- of a U.N. International Criminal Court to be modeled after war crimes tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. Even if the United States does not ratify the treaty, American citizens will be subject to arrest and trial as the treaty document is now drafted. International backing for the court became apparent this week as legal experts gathered at the United Nations to discuss fine print in a treaty that would establish the world judicial body. David Scheffer, assistant secretary of state for war crimes issues, acknowledged that the court is on track, even in the United States. "We expect many nations to ratify by the end of next year," he told The Washington Times. He also said that the presence of many U.S. allies on the court would ratchet up pressure on the United States to join, but added: "We're never going to sign a treaty we can't support." The United States voted against creating the court last summer, saying that the structure of the tribunal would not protect American troops from frivolous or politically motivated indictments and prosecutions. Although 90 nations have already signed the treaty, only five have formally ratified the document. Ratification by 60 nations is required for the tribunal to begin working -- something experts expect to happen within the next two years. Mr. Scheffer said the U.S. delegation was still hoping to secure language in the treaty that would provide protection for Americans -- enough that the United States could eventually join. He said negotiators were hoping to make strong provisions for national prosecutions that would pre-empt the international tribunal's jurisdiction. They are also hoping to define agreed-upon crimes and rules of procedure in such a way that U.S. troops would be highly unlikely to ever be called before the court. Mr. Scheffer said Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright was discussing the tribunal with her counterparts in numerous foreign ministries. In voting against the court's creation, the United States was joined by a curious collection of nations: Iraq, Libya, Israel, Russia, China and India. But supporters range from Germany to South Africa to Australia: an increasingly diverse and powerful bloc of nations that experts say will provide the political leadership and financial heft to ease concerns of smaller and more cautious nations. All of the European Union has signed the treaty, and Italy has ratified it. The German government on Tuesday announced that it would ratify the treaty but did not say when. France has committed to ratifying it within the next few months. The governments of Britain, Canada and the Netherlands say they will complete ratification within the next year. The entire European Union is expected to approve the statute by the end of 2000, said a statement read by a diplomat from Finland. Finland currently holds the rotating EU presidency. The European Union has promised financial and legal assistance to the court, to be located in The Hague. The court will prosecute allegations of war crimes, genocide and other crimes against humanity, and will do so without direct authorization of the U.N. Security Council, where the United States holds a veto. Although it has no enforcement mechanism, all nations -- including the United States -- would be subject to the international court's jurisdiction, the treaty document says. This means that all nations will be required to comply with the court's demands for information, evidence, witnesses and suspects, the treaty says. "We cannot recognize the court's competence in bringing prosecutions against U.S. personnel engaged in official actions when the U.S. government is not a party," Mr. Scheffer told the U.N. legal committee in October. The court will not be retroactive, but the existing tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia will eventually be rolled under its umbrella. The financing of the court has not been decided, but many nations hope that the bulk of the court's expenses -- particularly in the start-up years -- will be paid from the U.N. regular budget.

THE WAR IN KOSOVO IS NOT OVER

Posted on 12/02/1999 10:30:50 PST by Gael
THE WAR IN KOSOVO IS NOT OVER
Kosovo ( RNN Correspondent ) December the 1st, 1999
The war in Kosovo is not over. Since June 18th the KLA and their Albanian
supporters have terrorizing the Kosovar Rom in an ethnic cleansing operation
that has destroyed more than 20,000 Rom homes.
In many villages and towns, all Roma homes have been destroyed. Families whose
Roma ancestors arrived here as early as 1320, or Hashkalija whose oral
traditions recount an even older history, have not only been made homeless, but
over 150,000 have had to flee to other countries.
In order to justify these attacks, the KLA and their supports have labeled
"all" Rom and Hashkalija as having collaborated with the Serbs. Yet the
evidence on the ground does not support this allegation. Although KFOR and the
UN police have received many requests to detain Serbs suspected of atrocities
during the war, no Roma or Hashkalija has been mentioned in reports.
The ethnic Albanians dislike of Rom/Hashkalija goes back many years before the
war. When the Albanians first started to demonstrate back in 1969 against Serb
rule in Kosovo, the Rom/Hashkalija refused to join this demonstration. While
the Albanians wanted independence, the Rom/Hashkalija were still too far down
the economic scale to think of that luxury. All they wanted were jobs and
education. When they finally achieved those two things under Tito, they were so
grateful they thought they were being patriotic Yugoslavians by not taking to
the street. The Albanians have resented the Roma/Hashkalija ever since.
Although over 70% of Roma/Hashkalija had high educational degrees and most of
them held good jobs during the years preceding the war, the Albanians today try
to drag up the old stereotypes: lazy, dirty, worthless, homeless.
Today about 40,000 Roma/Hashkalija are homeless, but only because they're home
has been burned since the arrival of KFOR. The typical operation for cleansing
a neighborhood of Roma has been for a couple of local KLA soldiers to accompany
several Albanians to a Roma home and then threaten the occupants with death if
they were still living there the next day. Usually the Roma occupants didn't
wait, but left immediately, many wearing only their pajamas. Their homes were
then burned. If the home was in a good area, the rubble was soon bulldozed away
and a new home built on the site for a local high-ranking Albanian official.
Ironically, Roma who refused to give in to these threats and who did not leave
their homes usually were not attacked, and their home was not burneduntil
now.
Now, today, with the disbanding of the KLA, a new wave of attacks is taking
place and Roma homes not destroyed in the first wave are being burned.
The attacks are against all Roma and Hashkalija. No one is spared. Not the
retired, not the invalids, not the blind who of course could not be labeled
collaborators.
Although over 150,000 Roma and Hashkalija have fled Kosovo, their ancestral
homeland for the past seven hundred years, there are still 40,000 trying
desperately to stay. But despite the UN's declaration of preparing a multi-
ethnic society and the claim of NATO and KFOR to protect everyone, the results
only point to a policy of genocide genocide of the Roma and Hashkaija today
in Kosovo.
Roma today in Kosovo can not venture outside their own village without being
kidnapped or killed. Roma today in Kosovo are always turned down by Albanian
hospitals. Roma today in Kosovo can not attend Albanian schools. Roma today in
Kosovo have lost their jobs.
But perhaps worst of all, Rom today in Kosovo are being discriminated against
by the major aid agencies that are mainly run by local Albanians. Since the
war, over 90% of all Rom/Hashkalija communities have been refused aid by
agencies such as Mother Teresa, and ironically by Islamic Relief, although all
Roma and Hashkalija remaining in Kosovo today are Muslim. Even an international
aid agency with a renowned reputation such as Oxfam has not escaped this
discrimination being practiced by its own local Albanians in Pristine.
But perhaps the worst offender of all is UNHCR. Their policy towards the Roma
they should be looking after can best be described by an incident that happened
a few weeks ago when UNHCR was asked how they were preparing one of their
displaced persons camps for the winter. At a meeting attended by KFOR and
Oxfam, the UNHCR director of the Rom camp in question said: "We have no plans
for them this winter. We just hope they will disappear."
And disappearing they were until Macedonia closed their borders to Roma and
Hashkalija seeking to survive the draconian measures of UNHCR in Kosovo.
At the main UNHCR displaced person's camp in Kosovo, just outside Pristine,
there have been four recorded

[CTRL] E-mail Virus Set for New Year's Day
-Caveat Lector- *** ... far and wide. *** E-mail Virus Set for New Year's Day Bug Expected to Duplicate, Erase Hard Drives Dec. 3, 1999 By David Noack CUPERTINO, Calif. (APBnews.com) -- A destructive new e-mail virus, which is designed to erase all the data on a computer's hard drive, is set for New Year's Day, computer experts warn. The virus, dubbed W32.Mypics.Worm, which was discovered Thursday, affects Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT systems and has a destructive payload that triggers at midnight Dec. 31. "Computer Associates has identified this worm as having been specifically designed to cause significant damage in the year 2000," said Simon Perry, the company's eTrust business manager. "As the year 2000 quickly approaches, we are starting to see an increased frequency of dangerous viruses." Appears to have stopped working Experts said the worm spreads by automatically sending itself to as many as 50 people in the Outlook e-mail address book. The subject line is empty, and the body of the e-mail reads, "Here's some pictures for you!" The e-mail will also contain a worm program attachment named pics4you.exe (34,304 bytes). It attempts to trick the user into believing that the attachment contains images. When the attachment is opened, the program will not display any images and simply seems to have stopped working. However, the worm will become housed in memory and will e-mail itself to as many as 50 people. The worm will also adjust the home page setting of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser to a personal Web site at geocities.com, which experts say may then link to an adult site. Initial problem can be corrected The Windows registry will also be modified and changed to load the worm in memory every time the computer system is rebooted. As a result, the worm will always be present in the computer. The worm carries two payloads that mimic a Y2K problem. First, the worm monitors the system clock and when it detects the year is 2000, the worm will modify the system BIOS. On the next reboot, the computer will display a message such as "CMOS Checksum Invalid" and prevent the computer from booting. But this problem supposedly can be corrected by going into the BIOS setup. Worm is 'in the wild' After the BIOS settings are corrected, the worm will execute its second payload and will format the hard drive. Computer security experts have classified the virus as a moderate to high risk and have posted software on their Web sites to prevent users from catching the malicious code. The virus, say the experts, is "in the wild," meaning that it can be sent to unsuspecting computer users. Perry said it's important for computer users to visit their anti-virus vendor sites and ensure that their anti-virus software is up-to-date in order to remain safe from attack.

[CTRL] William Pierce-Books And Freedom
-Caveat Lector- American Dissident Voices Broadcast of December 4, 1999 Books and Freedom Dr. William Pierce A listener sent me a clipping from the New York Times last month, the November 14 edition, and I just got around to reading it. It's the obituary of a writer and Harvard professor, Dr Richard Marius. Marius had a pretty unremarkable career: a Southern Baptist divinity school graduate and student of the Reformation who wrote several very forgettable books and taught aspiring authors at Harvard how to write. We wouldn't be interested in him, except for one detail: in 1995 he was fired as a speechwriter by Al Gore. The reason he was fired is that in a book review he had written three years earlier, which was published in The Harvard Magazine, he had criticized the way the Jews in Israel treat the Palestinians there: you know, torturing prisoners, collective punishment for the families of suspected activists, and so on. Again, this criticism of the Israelis was not in a book written by Marius, but in his review of another author's book, and book reviews are generally a bit more ephemeral and less weighty than the books themselves. But Marius' review was published in The Harvard Magazine, and Jews, of course, scan very closely everything published anywhere by Harvard professors, so that they can keep their Gentile brethren at Harvard on the straight and narrow path of Political Correctness. Martin Peretz, the Jew who edits the leftist magazine New Republic, was apprised of Marius' transgression, and Peretz complained to Al Gore, who promptly fired Marius. The Jews trumpeted the firing of Marius around the circle of liberal literati of which Marius was a member, denouncing him as an anti-Semite, and his friends began avoiding him. He protested loudly that he was not an anti-Semite, but it availed him nothing. He was washed up for good with the Clintonistas. But really, what a jerk, not to have understood that it's proper to condemn Serbs, say, for torturing prisoners and dynamiting the homes of families suspected of having a family member who isn't sympathetic to the government, but it's certainly not proper to condemn Jews for doing the same thing. How could anyone be a speechwriter for Al Gore and not understand that Jews are very special people, who must never be criticized, under any circumstances? I mean, we all know that the ordinary rules of behavior don't apply to them. If the Germans or the Poles or the French or the Americans do something very illiberal, then we expect a Harvard liberal to criticize them. But not if they are Jews. Then the expected behavior of a Harvard liberal is to pretend that he doesn't notice. So Marius broke the rule and was punished. Too bad. I really can't feel sorry for a Harvard liberal -- certainly not for a Harvard liberal who also was a speechwriter for anyone in the Clinton administration. Reading Marius' obituary called to mind the very special status Jews have in our society. We may criticize anyone -- except Jews. Of course, a liberal isn't likely under any circumstances to be critical of a homosexual or a feminist or a non-White or a member of any other group currently patronized by liberals. But as long as he assures everyone that many of his best friends are perverts or Blacks or what have you and that his criticism is intended to be constructive, he will be forgiven for an occasional sharp remark aimed toward them. But if he ever makes the mistake of referring to Jews in anything but the most flattering terms, his name goes on a hate list and is never removed. I can think of a number of examples of literary figures far more illustrious than Marius: there's T.S. Eliot, and there's H.L. Mencken, and, of course, there's Ezra Pound. They've all been dead for more than a quarter of a century, but whenever something is written about one of them today there's a great deal of anguished soul-searching over the question, "How could So-and-so have been such a great poet or such a clever writer and nevertheless have made nasty remarks about Jews?" The Jews pretend not to be able to understand it. They pretend that it is an inexplicable mystery to them how anyone can be intelligent and creative who doesn't love and admire Jews. They conclude that it had to have been some character flaw in the writer. And these were writers who only made passing remarks about Jews -- except, perhaps, for Pound, who really despised them. And the Jews prefer not even to mention exceptionally popular writers like Louis Ferdinand Céline or Jack London or Feodor Dostoevsky, who were quite outspoken in portraying Jews in an unfavorable light. They are a real mystery to the Jews. Perhaps the explanation is that they were dropped on their heads as children. If that is so, then most of our greatest writers of the past must have been dropped on their heads. Not every writer made much of it, but the general opinion was that Jews were not just different from their Aryan hosts, but
[CTRL] US/Russia Y2K Video Link
-Caveat Lector- Y2K nuclear link unveiled The United States and Russia have unveiled a high-tech video and telecommunications link to monitor possible problems in their 132 nuclear reactors during the Y2K roll-over. Announcing the plans, US Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said linking the two countries' atomic command centres would help prevent mishaps with the coming of the new millennium. "While we don't expect any major problems, there may be glitches. We have to be ready on both sides," he told a press briefing at the top-secret Situation Crisis Center in Energy Department headquarters. The centre provides communications with energy facilities across the US. Mr Richardson said the two countries' experts would sit alongside each other in the joint command centres in case there were any emergencies. Mr Adamov expressed confidence that Russia would be able to cope. "All of the drills showed we are prepared for the year 2000 roll-over," he said through an interpreter. All 103 of America's commercial reactors were recently cleared as being ready to deal with the change. The so-called millennium bug is caused by older computer software that is unable to recognise a year change, causing potential crashes or malfunctions when 1999 changes to 2000. Mr Richardson said Russian computer systems designed to shut nuclear reactors in an emergency did not have the type of digital technology susceptible to the bug. But he said other computer systems at Russian plants could fail. Of greater concern to him is the sole remaining reactor at the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine, scene of the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986. "We wanted them to update their technology ... but they are moving a little slower than we had hoped," Mr Richardson said. The US has provided about $6m in the last two years in an effort to make nuclear plants in the former Soviet Union Y2K compliant.

Civil society against the WTO
By Mohamed Sid-Ahmed
The city of Seattle on the northwestern coast of the United States is home to
two of the most successful American corporations: Microsoft, the world's
leading manufacturer of computer software, and Boeing, its leading aircraft
manufacturer. The very personification of the American dream, Seattle has come
to symbolise the economic and technological preeminence of the United States.
True, Microsoft owner Bill Gates, who rose from the ranks of anonymous computer
nerds to become the richest man in the world, is currently embroiled in a
massive antitrust lawsuit, while Boeing is facing stiff competition from its
European rival, Airbus, especially after the mysterious crash of EgyptAir's
Boeing 767. But both remain symbols of America's status as the world power
which heads the present day unipolar world order.
Two days ago, Seattle was the venue for the opening session of a new round of
trade talks under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which
brought together the economic and trade ministers of 135 countries and which is
expected to continue for the coming three yeas at least. Dubbed the Millennium
Round, the Seattle WTO meeting is seen as a celebration of the supposedly
unmitigated success of the liberal school of economics on the eve of the new
millennium, in other words, as a vindication of Fukoyama's 'end of history'
theory. But what is happening on the streets of Seattle is delivering another
message altogether.
Over the last two days, Seattle has witnessed mass demonstrations by some fifty
thousand activists representing hundreds of NGOs from all parts of the world,
who have come to express the viewpoint of civil society on the performance of
the WTO and to underscore that its practices are in clear contradiction with
the aspirations of the masses in a wide variety of walks of life.
A statement issued by an organisation calling itself the Representatives of
Civil Society Opposed to the Millennium Round of Trade Talks, signed by 1,200
organisations from 87 countries, declared that "the WTO has played a
significant role throughout the last five years in further concentrating wealth
in the hands of a minority while increasing the poverty of the majority of the
world population... The (previous) Uruguay round of talks aimed at opening new
markets for the transnational corporations at the expense of national
economies, workers, peasants, many other sectors of society and the
environment. The WTO's processes are undemocratic and non-transparent". The
statement called for a moratorium on all activities extending the authority of
the WTO and for reforms hat would allow an evaluation of the impact of the WTO
on marginalised communities, development, democracy, the environment, health,
human rights, labour practices and the rights of women and children, stressing
that these reforms should be undertaken with the full participation of civil
society.
The most significant feature of the anti-WTO rallies in Seattle is that they
have taken political action to a wholly new dimension, one that is not
dominated by traditional centralised institutions like political parties and
trade unions, but follows a new and unconventional pattern which draws heavily
on the opportunities offered by the information revolution, notably the
Internet, and expresses the grievances of groupings of global citizens united
in their opposition to the unbridled deregulation of international trade as
advocated by the WTO.
Possibly because it anticipated that the WTO meeting would provoke just such a
furore, the US government decided not to contribute towards its financing but
to leave it to the private sector. A special organisation, headed jointly by
Bill Gates and Boeing CEO Phil Condit, was set up for the express purpose of
raising the required funds through the sale of tickets to businessmen
interested in lunching and dining with the ministers taking part in the WTO
talks. Some ten million dollars were raised this way thanks to the price of the
tickets, which ranged from 250 thousand dollars for the 'emerald' ticket to
5,000 dollars for the 'bronze'.
The four-day 135-nation conference in Seattle is a forum for what is being
touted as the biggest trade talks in history and, as such, an unprecedented
opportunity for delegates to come to grips with the real problems facing world
trade. But so profound and multiple are the differences between the
participating states making up today's 'globalised' world that the plenary
meetings failed to come up with an agenda acceptable to all the delegates. Each
country concentrated on what it considered its priorities: France on its
cultural specificity, especially in regard to the protection of its film
industry, India on the protection of its home industries, etc. Actually, the
protection of national film and audio-visual industries is an issue of

Deomcratic Community;
In a Democratic Society the need for honest, fair, impartial information
on what is going on in our democratic community is essential in creating
an informed, involved and educated public sector. The job of the media
in our democratic community is to provide us what we need in the way of
information to maintain our Democratic Society as a healthy system of
governance. The alternative is the variation on totalitarian model that
we can see throughout human history. The latest version involves:
special interest control of legislators, runaway "bottom line"
capitalism, mindless consumerism, centralized media control of
information, and good old fashion authoritarian control of the public.
The Seattle WTO confrontation was the most visible clash between current
the want-to-be public controllers and the democratic community. The
following short article by Ralph Nader in the current January 2000 issue
of "Brill's Content" page 96 provides essential insights into the core
of the problem of achieving a healthy Democratic Society. The fog of
illusion must be lifted from the public mind or we will surly suffer the
obvious consequences of our new masters agenda.
In the hope that we can dispell the illusion before it is too late.

Ralph Nader on why there is no citizen-action channel.
[Conglomerates] usually have a policy of what sells and what doesn't,
and they don't veer away from that. I've never seen a conglomerate go
the other way; they always downgrade {the material}. Sex, violence,
scandal, celebrity - that's the criteria...Just look at the qualit{ies}
of the CEOs. {Viacom CEO} Sumner Redstone: What's he interested in?
Raising stock and making money. {CBS CEO} Mel Karmazin - the classic
monetized mind. He's profitted off Howard Stern. This is the
replacement for (CBS founder) William Paley! Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw -
they know their news is mostly a crock of dung.
Ninety percent of all broadcasting is devoted to entertainment and
advertising.Even on the 24-hour news channel(s), there's a hugh
amount of lifestyle, fluff, weather, sports, and stocks. With all these
channels on cable, do they have a citizen-action channel? Do they have
a lobor channel? Do they have a consumer channel? Of course not.
Because {the corporate chieftains} control it so completely. {I try
telling people:} You own the airwaves. Do you realize that? Legally,
{We} own it and radio and TV are tenants. They don't pay rent and {yet}
they dictate what goes on the air.

-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded message follows --- Date sent: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 10:16:30 Subject: 12-03-99 - ACLU Action Update: "ECHELON" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] Is the U.S. Government Spying on You? TO: ACLU Action Network FR: Jared Feuer, ACLU Internet Organizer DT: December 3, 1999 Is the secret National Security Agency, working with its counterpart agencies in England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, eavesdropping on private communications from around the world? Credible reports suggest that a global electronic surveillance system -- known by the code name of "ECHELON" -- is indeed capturing satellite, microwave, cellular and fiber-optic communications worldwide. Over the past few months, the U.S. House of Representatives has been investigating ECHELON and related activities. As part of these investigations, the House Select Committee on Intelligence requested documents from the National Security Agency (NSA) regarding its operating standards for intelligence systems like ECHELON that may intercept communications of Americans. In a surprising move, NSA officials invoked attorney-client privilege and refused to disclose the documents. This action drew the ire of several members of Congress, including the committee's chairman, Rep. Porter Goss (R-FL). TAKE ACTION! Many observers, from the ACLU to conservative Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA), are calling Congress to conduct further inquiries into the workings of this global surveillance system. You can read more about ECHELON and send a letter to Congress supporting further investigations into its activities at our action alert: http://www.aclu.org/action/echelon106.html In addition, the ACLU has launched a special website detailing the possible threats of ECHELON and other research on the program.

[CTRL] OKC Bombers Momma' Puts Foot In Mouth
-Caveat Lector- McVEIGH'S MOM ON MOST-UNLIKED LIST AFTER COMMENTS by Bill Johnson American Reporter Correspondent Oklahoma City, Okla. OKLAHOMA CITY -- Timothy McVeigh undoubtedly would rank at the top of any Oklahoma most-hated list for blowing up the federal building, but comments by his mother in a television interview this week got her a pretty prominent spot. "Let's get it out of our minds," Mickey Hill said in the interview. "Let's get on with our lives." After all, she said, the bombing that killed 168 people happened four and half years ago. And McVeigh was convicted of killing only eight people, she said. Hill, 55, in the interview on WTSP-TV in Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla., suggested that the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil ranked along with airplane crashes and the murder trial of O.J. Simpson. "It was a big event, yeah, but so was the O.J. Simpson case, so was the bombing (of the World Trade Center) in New York," Hill said. "Every bombing or shooting is a big case," said Hill, who was identified as a dishwasher in a Pensacola, Fla., restaurant. The interview was replayed on Oklahoma City's KWTV. "Plane crashes. There's more people killed in a plane crash than was killed in Oklahoma City," Hill said. "And yet these people think they're the only victims? "I feel sorry for them. But let's face it: This happened 4=BD years ago. This happened four and a half years ago. Let's get it out of our minds. Let's get on with our lives." Bombing survivors and relatives of those killed said they weren't about to forget. "Let her walk a mile in my shoes," said Kathleen Treanor. "I had to bury my baby in pieces. She has no right to tell me how I should feel." Treanor's daughter, Ashley Eckles, 4, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Luther and LaRue Treanor, were killed in the bombing. Dennis Purifoy, one of the survivors, said the horror of the bombing must be remembered to keep it from happening again. "People need to remember and learn a lesson from what happened here," Purifoy said. In addition to the 168 who died in the April 19, 1995, bombing, more than 500 people were injured and some of them will never completely recover. McVeigh was charged with driving a rented truck loaded with a fertilizer bomb to Oklahoma City, parking it outside the federal building and touching off the explosives. Among those killed were 19 children in a second-floor day-care center. Under federal law, McVeigh could be tried for first-degree murder only in the deaths of eight federal agents who were on duty in the building at the time of the blast. He was convicted by a federal jury in Denver and was sentenced to die. Terry Nichols, a friend McVeigh met in the Army, was convicted by another Denver jury of conspiracy and eight counts of involuntary manslaughter. He is appealing his conviction and life sentence and the Oklahoma County district attorney plans to try Nichols in state court here on 160 counts of first-degree murder. The district attorney's plan has driven a wedge between the bombing survivors and the relatives of those who died. Some want a state trial to be held while others don't want to have to go through the emotional turmoil of another trial. The Daily Oklahoman has come out against a state trial. Hill and McVeigh's father, Bill McVeigh, separated in 1984 and were divorced in 1986. Tim, who was 16 when his parents separated, remained with his father in New York State. Stephen Jones, McVeigh's defense attorney, called her comments "unfortunate." But, he said, those comments should be considered in context with the fact Hill has a history of emotional troubles. She was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital in February 1997 after reportedly suffering a psychotic episode. She used the name Mickey Frazer at the time. Hill recalled in the interview that McVeigh's father, when he saw an artist's sketch of a bombing suspect, asked whether it might be Tim. Hill said it was possible that her son "may have" been the one who masterminded the bombing plot. "Honest to God, I don't know," Hill said. Hill said in her son's trial that Tim was "a loving son and a happy child as he grew up. He was a child any mother could be proud of. I still, to this very day, cannot believe he could have caused this devastation. "There are too many unanswered questions and loose ends. He has seen human loss in the past and it has torn him apart. He is not the monster he has been portrayed as. ... He is a human being, just as we all are." Hill said in the tv interview she knew that some people put the ultimate blame for the bombing on her. "What I don't understand is, how differently should I have raised him?" she asked. "He never got in trouble in school. He never drank beer or liquor. He never smoked. He was never in trouble. "When he joined the Army, he was a happy-go-lucky kid. Eight years later, he's arrested for bombing a building. How would you feel? I mean, I don't feel responsible for
[CTRL] Anti-Gov. Extremists Arrested-Plot Foiled.
-Caveat Lector- FBI Arrests Militiamen in Bomb Plot Pair Planned to Blow Up Propane Facility, Feds Say Dec. 4, 1999 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Federal agents have arrested two anti-government militia members in connection with a plan to blow up a massive propane installation in Elk Grove, a newspaper reported Saturday. The Sacramento Bee, citing unidentified sources, said the arrests Friday by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force came after a nearly yearlong investigation into the alleged plot against Suburban Propane. Federal officials told the paper that the threat to the plant, where 24 million gallons of liquid propane are stored, had been eliminated even before the arrests. FBI spokesman Nick Rossi referred all inquiries to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California, who did not immediately return a call seeking comment this morning. Preying on fear of 2000 Authorities believe the alleged plan was designed to exploit Y2K fears among the nation's hate groups. "We think we stopped a terrorist attack," a source close to the investigation told the Bee. "Can we be certain they would have carried it out? We don't know. We had to behave as though they were going to do it." Authorities said the two men, whose names were not disclosed, were arrested on weapons charges and held while federal agents searched their El Dorado County homes for evidence. Storage lockers and homes in Reno, Nev., and Carson City, Nev., also were searched. Both were members of a San Joaquin County militia group and had been stockpiling large amounts of illegal weapons, law-enforcement sources said. One is a convicted felon with firearms violations; the other is unemployed and has no past criminal record, but sources said he is knowledgeable in bomb making, and a large amount of explosives were found at his property.

[CTRL] Seattle MD testifies Re: Police Brutality
-Caveat Lector- "Crowd Control"; News management Martial Law in Seattle - Expert eyewitness account. Interview with Seattle MD [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Dr. Byron Weeks) (posted 12-4-99) My name is Richard DeAndrea. I'm a medical doctor. What I saw up here was martial law. This turned into a police state. Everything you have seen on television regarding local news broadcasts including national public radio was a blackout. The police were using concussion grenades. They were using shooting tear gas canisters directly at protesters facing. They were using rubber bullets. Some of the damage I saw from these rubber bullets took off part of a person's jaw, smashed teeth in their mouth. I saw the police arrest people who had their hands up in the air screaming we are peacefully protesting. The amount of looting that took place was so minimal I don't even know where they got the footage from. I am saying this beyond a shadow of a doubt. This is a definite sign that American is heading towards a police state unless people start standing up for their rights as individuals. I am actually shocked and ashamed. I am ashamed of the police force, I am ashamed of the mayor I am ashamed of Bill Clinton. I am ashamed of the whole thing. Jared: These rubber bullets - what are they? Dr. DeAndrea: They are made of polyester type material. They are like a hard plastic toy. The idea i9s to hit your body, do damage, not actually penetrate. But I did see penetration wounds, I did see people bleeding. I did see teeth loss, I did see broken bones. There were children present, there were families present, they were firing upon families, mothers, grandmothers,. They were just firing at them. They came out in full police force. They brought out swat teams, they had the national guard up here, there was CIA surrounding the delegates' buildings. It was very obvious that there was an institutional control that had no regard of human rights whatever. In addition we have video footage of protesters being taken away as well as human rights being violated. Prisoners were taken and they were tortured. There is a case, I believe his name is Holm, Keith Holm. He was tortured because he would not give his name. They handcuffed, laid him on the floor, they smashed his face against the concrete, they grabbed his hair, they ripped out a lock of hair. and then placed pencils between his fingers on them until he would give his name. They were also banging his head against metal objects. He was actually the first protester released because the Internal Affairs came in to do an investigation and they wanted him gone because he would be able to give testimony. We're treating people in a studio loft downtown. I just treated an ear wound. People have been treated for concussion injuries. There have been people who have been treated for plastic bullet wounds. Lots of tear gas injuries, lots of damage to cornea, lots of damage to the eyes and skins. They were using a pepper spray, a tear gas and they were also using some sort of nerve gas. We had reports of many demonstrators winding up with seizures the next day. It causes muscles to clamp up, muscle contraction, seizures. They have done several illegal things regarding these people in jail. They have been telling them that they would not be let out, not have their bail set if they didn't get their names. Its their legal right not to give their name. They don't have to speak at all. Attorneys came up and said we are representing these people. The police called their attorneys liars. At this point they have still refused to let any of them see their clients. There are close to 600 people who were arrested and they have been holding them for two days on charges that are mostly misdemeanors - refusal to disperse. A lot of people in there have not gotten medical attention, either. I have gotten calls from young ladies in there who have had all sorts of emotional problems as well as physical problems. They have called me for medical attention from inside the jail. There are people still sitting in there who have not even been processed. Today there were fewer attacks by police, but they did arrest more people. And there was no violence today by the marchers and all through the day yesterday it was the same. What you are seeing on television about looting and anarchistic protesters - there's straight-out blackout they are basically pushing that. There is not much damage to property here. There are not many windows that have been damaged or stores that have been looted. Those are extremely rare cases. I used to believe newspapers were telling the truth. But now I am no longer behind that. This shouldn't happen in America. This is still America, isn't it? I'm beginning to wonder. =
[CTRL] The New Crypto-Commies
-Caveat Lector- http://www.zdnet.com/zdtv/cybercrime/chaostheory/story/0,3700,2398590,00.html The New Crypto-Commies Could arguing for strong encryption be the next 'un-American activity' that justifies blacklists and secret FBI investigations? By Kevin Poulsen November 24, 1999 Newly released documents show that the FBI closely monitored a key member of the standard-setting Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 1992 and 1993, as he waged a doomed battle to inject crypto support into an emerging critical Internet standard. William Allen Simpson, a Detroit-based computer consultant, was on the IETF. The team was developing the "Point to Point Protocol" (PPP), designed to facilitate Internet access over dial-up modems. Simpson was making waves in the PPP Working Group by loudly arguing for inclusion of crypto support in the protocol, which today is used by the vast majority of home Internet users to go online. In 1993, Simpson learned from a family member and colleagues that his efforts had drawn the FBI's interest. As he recalls it, the bureau was accusing him of a capital offense. "Two guys came up to me at a meeting," Simpson recalls. "They said, 'Bill, I was interviewed for a treason investigation by the FBI'." "Bill was advocating encryption for authentication and for privacy in standardized Internet protocols," recalls Electronic Frontier Foundation cofounder John Gilmore, who heard of the investigation and suggested that Simpson request his FBI file under the Freedom of Information Act. "He's kind of an iconoclast," Gilmore told me. "He follows his own way and sometimes it pisses people off, but it can be an advantage when you're faced with a Kafkaesque investigation by the government. He has the tenacity to stick with it until he finds the truth." After six years of wrangling, Simpson finally pried 54 pages from the grasping hands of the domestic spies last Wednesday, only to find that the documents were heavily censored. === http://www.zdnet.com/zdtv/cybercrime/chaostheory/jump/0,3698,2398612,00.html Better Read Than Dead? The 54 pages of Simpson's file are filled with black lines. Under the caption "basis for investigation," there's nothing but an opaque mass of thick black ink. Most of the file, including the official reason for its existence, remains classified "secret" to this day, a designation supposedly reserved for information that would cause "serious harm" to US national security if revealed. Among the investigative insights deemed safe for disclosure, a 1992 teletype addressed to "Director, FBI," in Washington, which notes that Simpson's personality "fits the profile of a gadfly who challenges authority and laws that may impinge on his activities." The bureau also took an interest in the cars Simpson drove and whether or not he had a passport. But the

In an editorial to be published Friday, Publisher Joseph McQuaid said Forbes is the only candidate who displays "steady, intelligent, conservative leadership" who is "God-fearing, respectful of innocent life, and determined to restore a sense of decency to the White House." By contrast, the paper said Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Arizona Sen. John McCain "seem much more interested in what the news media say about them than in their own messages." In 1996, the newspaper endorsed Pat Buchanan, now running for the Reform Party nomination. According to the paper, Bush has said "virtually nothing substantial in his campaign."

[CTRL] John Lennon Said Turned Into New World Order Patsy
-Caveat Lector- SIGHTINGS John Lennon Said Turned Into New World Order Patsy IMAGINE THERE'S NO LENNON By Barry Chamish 12-4-99 Yoko Ono arrived in Israel last week and initiated the most publicized cultural event in years. She opened her "art" exhibit in an obscure Arab town called Um Al Fahd, whose only only claim to fame is a roadside cafe with decent grilled lamb, as a statement for peace and the following week moved her treasures to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, which responded by footing the bill for full page ads advertising the honor of her presence. Since Ono is hardly in demand anywhere, one may legitimately ask what she is doing in Israel spreading her vision of world harmony. To do so, it might be a good idea to examine a few alternative views of who she is in the first place. An important place to start might be a book written by a London attorney, Fenton Bressler, called Who Killed John Lennon. Bressler makes a strong argument that Lennon's murderer was one of a long line of programmed killers. Like Oswald, Sirhan, Amir, Sarah Jane Moore, Squeaky Fromme, Hinckley, et al, Mark David Chapman was a rather confused young person who was isolated for a time from his regular circumstances. In his case, he spent the summer of 1975 in Beirut, Lebanon, just when the civil war broke out, as a youth trainer for the YMCA. Bresler notes that the YMCA is one of those international organizations the CIA utilizes to plant agents worldwide and his conclusion is that the CIA knocked off Lennon because he was planning a comeback that threatened its militaristic philosophy. More likely, Chapman was a New World Order patsy programmed to eliminate a similar stooge for very different reasons. After Chapman's Beirut sojourn, he felt impelled to fly to Hawaii where he courted and married a Japanese woman whose similarity to Ono was more than uncanny. Just before shooting Lennon, the penniless Chapman found the funds to crisscross continental America. He arrived in New York in 1980 carrying his precious copy of J.D. Salinger's classic book, The Catcher In The Rye. After shooting Lennon, Chapman waited patiently for the police to arrive and they found him reading Salinger with great intensity. Under questioning, Chapman didn't actually remember the moment of the shooting but said he had no strong feelings towards Lennon one way or another. In fact, he never even bought a Lennon album. He murdered him, he insisted, to prove that HE was the real Catcher In The Rye. Now there's a rational motive, if you happen to be psychologically programmed to kill. Sarah Jane Moore thought she was a character in the Donna Reed Show, a mild tv sitcom of the 1960s, while Squeaky Fromme claimed to be a Clairol Girl, from a TV commercial of the same era. Meanwhile, a few months later, the new president, Ronald Reagan was shot by a patsy named Hinckley who claimed he saw the film Taxi Driver and wanted to murder the president to impress its star, Jody Foster. One could legitimately surmise that Lennon's murder was just a dry run to test whether the public

Our first visit to each important spiritual site is 3-4 hours and includes time for people to explore the site on their own with no preconceptions. Next we gather together and listen to our Egyptologist guide tell us about all the questions that come up in our minds. Then there is more free time to take pictures, etc. The next morning we return to the same site for an early visit without the crowds. This allows us to go into deep meditation -- now that our inquisitiveness and curiosity have been satisfied we can give our full attention to listening within. Or people may prefer to walk quietly or sit alone rather than meditate with the group. It is for each person to choose what is most fruitful for them. Our aim to provide the Time and Space for quality experiences. Tour Leader, Ruth Shilling, has been leading people into deepening spiritual experiences for many years. She has taught sound healing, hands-on healing, Music and Imagery, Therapeutic Touch, journeying and meditation. She has been teaching music at the Univ. of Conn. since 1984 and works as a professional musician in addition to doing healing and spiritual guidance. Tour Operator, Ahmed Fayed, has been leading and organizing metaphysical tours of Egypt for many years. A fifth-generation tour guide he excels in being able to make arrangements and keep a tour running smoothly. Egyptologist Tour Guide, Mohamed Hafez Hassan, is the former inspector of the Giza pyramids and plateau, former curator of the Cairo museum and archeologist with a number of important finds to his credit. His deep sense of the Divine and strong devotion to the Sacred have continually inspired tour participants. Many have commented at the end of the tour that getting to spend the week in the presence of such a man was one of the highlights of the tour.

[CTRL] Masonic Infiltration at British Police Investigated
-Caveat Lector- The Campaign for Radical Truth in History http://www.hoffman-info.com Visit our Bookstore --- Masonic Infiltration of British Police Investigated The English press reported in February, 1998 that the leaders of Britain's Freemasons have been ordered to lift the cloak of secrecy surrounding their organization and name members involved in infiltrating and corrupting the police. The United Grand Lodge of England is the target of a Parliamentary probe seeking to register Freemasons who are employed as police officers. Parliament asked the Grand Lodge last summer to identify which of 161 people involved in a series of notorious police scandals - including setting up innocent people for bombings and a shoot-to-kill, vigilante police squad - were Masons. The United Grand Lodge, which says it has found only ten possible Masons on the list, refused. Martin Short, author of a study of Freemasonry, "Inside the Brotherhood," said: "The idea that a parliamentary committee should be calling the Masons to account in quite this peremptory manner is astonishing. If you go back thirty, twenty or even ten years it is inconceivable this would have happened." There are 340,000 Freemasons in England and Wales, and their influence reaches into the British Royal Family. The masonic committee that must decide how to respond to the Parliamentary order includes the elite of the aristocracy of Britain: Duke of Kent, the Grand Master; Lord Farnham, a pro-Grand Master. Also the retired Court of Appeals judge, Sir John Balcombe; and Judge John Sessions, a Judge Advocate of the Fleet. Chris Mullin, the Member of Parliament (MP) who has taken a close interest in the case since before he became an MP in 1987, said: "It is obvious that the powers of the committee are being challenged...We cannot come to a conclusion until we see who was a Mason," he said. Mullin said that 96 of the 161 names on the list presented to the United Grand Lodge were former members of the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, which was disbanded in 1989 for corruption. About 60 - including some journalists - were involved with the investigation that led to the wrongful bombing conviction of the Irish Birmingham Six. Seven were involved in investigating Stalker, the former Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester who was suspended in 1986 while conducting an inquiry into shoot-to-kill allegations against the police in Northern Ireland. The committee had been told by police officers - including Masons - that Freemasons had operated within the squad as "firms within firms". Masonic Commander Michael Higham said that there was a good deal of anger about the slur on their integrity. "We know we have a few bad apples, the rest of ordinary Freemasons are decent chaps," he said. Mr Higham added that Masons would not necessarily know who was a fellow member, since secret signs of recognition were not used promiscuously. "People don't stand around in strange attitudes waiting to be recognized as Freemasons." He refused to demonstrate the signs, saying: "I promised I would not." If the United Grand Lodge refuses to hand over the names, the committee could report he apparent contempt to the Speaker, who could invite the House to deal with the issue as a matter of privilege in which there was prima facie evidence that the Freemasons had interfered with the business of the House. Higham, joined the Navy in 1954 and was called to the Bar in 1968. He retired from the Navy in 1977 and in that year joined Freemasons Hall in Great Queen Street, London, as principal assistant to the grand secretary. Mr Higham, 62, became grand secretary in 1980. He had been due to stay in the post until 2001 but is leaving this year allegedly due to a "falling out" with his Lodge --- occult / archives / news bureau / home DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Shavuot Pogrom: "Nazis, Christians, Whores and Goyim"
The following N.Y. Times article mentions the attack orthodox khazars
perpetrated against Palestinians on the Jewish "Shavuot" holiday.
But the main focus of the article is the attack by the orthodox khazars
against liberal khazars (who are termed "Conservative and Reform"). Note
the headline: "...Assault Other Jews..."
If the N.Y. Times was honest the headline would read, "Israelis Launch
Pogrom Against Palestinians," but the whole terminology ("pogrom,
concentration camp, war crime, holocaust") has become a liturgical
phenomenon of Jewish theology and hence cannot be applied to anyone other
than the Holy People without violating a taboo, which the N.Y. Times, which
benefits from the sacerdotal aura of mystification which surrounds the
Shoah-business ("Shoah" is the Jewish theological term for the holohoax),
is not wont to do. (There's no business like Shoah business).
However, the fact is, the orthodox Israelis launched a pogrom against
Palestinians, beating them en masse and destroying their vehicles (such
pogroms against Palestinians are a routine occurrence in occupied
Palestine) and this should have been the chief focus of the article.
At least one snippet of truth sneaked through the Pharisees' filters
however, the fact of a most interesting Talmudic equation (the orthodox
khazars are hardcore Talmudists) of Nazis=Christians=whores=goyim (i.e.
non-Jews).
This will be news to the millions of naive non-Jews who believe that by
siding with Zionists and Talmudists they will be exempt from Jewish
vengeance and racism.
The best book on Jewish hatred of women is "The Hole in the Sheet," by
Evelyn Kaye. The best book on Jewish hatred of 'goyim' is "Jewish History,
Jewish Religion," by Israel Shahak.

Talmud may be found in our web pages at:

Jews" is not the Torah [Old Testament] but rather, the Traditions of the

Orthodox Israelis Assault Other Jews at Western Wall
By SERGE SCHMEMANN
[J] ERUSALEM -- Conservative Jewish men and women who tried to pray
together at the Western Wall during the Shavuot holiday early Wednesday
morning said Thursday that they had been assaulted by hundreds of
rigorously Orthodox men evidently incensed by the sight of women praying
with men.
The Conservatives said the strictly Orthodox Jews, known more commonly as
the haredim, had spat on them and pelted them with garbage and feces, while
calling them "Nazis," "Christians," "whores" and "goyim."
The police said that after the prayers some haredi youths went on to smash
Palestinian cars outside one gate to the Old City, while others gathered at
Damascus Gate and attacked Palestinian passers-by. The police said several
of the haredim had sprayed tear gas and thrown stones at the police and at
Palestinians.
The incidents were not the first of their kind after mass prayers at the
Western Wall, but by all accounts they were the most violent to date.
They reflected the growing assertiveness of strictly Orthodox Jews since
their success in elections a year ago -- when they won 10 seats in
Parliament and a critical bloc in the government coalition -- and in
particular the increasingly bitter confrontation between the haredim and
the Conservative and Reform movements.
The two modern movements claim relatively few adherents in Israel, but
account for 84 percent of the Jews in the United States, so the dispute has
in effect pitted American Jews against the Orthodox rabbis in Israel.
The focus of that confrontation is a bill the haredim have introduced in
Parliament that would formalize the monopoly of the Orthodox rabbis in
performing conversions to Judaism in Israel -- an act that also grants the
convert the right to Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return.
But the haredim have also been increasingly militant in challenging the
Conservative and Reform faithful directly, especially on the issue of
equality for women. In Orthodox practice, women are not permitted to pray
with men, be heard during prayers or read the Torah at services.
Shavuot is a holiday that commemorates Moses giving the law to the
Israelites, on which observant Jews spend much of the night studying
scripture.
About 30,000 Jews, most of them haredim, gathered at the Western Wall
starting on Tuesday night. Rabbi Andrew Sachs, the director of the
Rabbinical Assembly in Israel, an organization of Conservative rabbis, said
he arrived at the wall with a

The weird halo of immunity which surrounds the Jewish nation is a highly interesting sanction and no scholar must be faulted for defying it. To pretend that we must approach the Jewish studies with some special reverence and reserve, fearful of causing offense, is a totalitarian expectation. It will undoubtedly be the first reaction of a mind-zapped populace to immediately regard the investigation of the negative factors within the religion of Judaism as a horrible one, "bound to lead to another 'Holocaust." That the fanatical chauvinism of Jewish partisanship has been absorbed into the body politic of the masses of non-Jews to such an overwhelming extent is a high tribute to the power and effectiveness of Jewish propaganda. But this writing is not an attack but a defense. Khazars attack Christianity every week in a newspaper column, magazine article, radio report, film, television show or book. Few people regard such attacks as a prelude to the further decay and eventual destruction of the Gentile people of the West. Such Jewish attacks on Christianity are regarded as the "normal criticism" any creed must endure at the hands of truth-seekers, scientists and dispassionate scholars. Within this framework is the presumption of immunity for Judaism. According to the mindset promoted by the System's public schools and private universities and the Established "media" organs of mass communication, Judaism alone among the religions of the world is immune from scholarly criticism. First because it is perfect, being the creed of God's Master or "Chosen" Race and second because, even if it were as flawed to the degree that secular agnosticism asserts that every religion is flawed, it would still be wrong to expose it as such because to do so will lead to another "Holocaust." If one looks beneath the sham appearances of this late 20th century, that is to say beyond the shuttered provincialism of Jew-worship, one glimpses the outlines of war. A relentless libel is directed at the Christian West, or what remains of it in the ruins, in the aftermath of a half-century of constant propaganda against it. It must be relentless to insure that no smoldering spark shall leap up to illuminate the perpetual dark night of the modern era. The story of the crucifixion of an honest man at the behest of the Jewish religious and political leadership, whose heroic committment to the truth above all else, testified to his divine patrimony, has been for 2,000 years a permanent stumbling block to the ascendance of Jewish world supremacy. Therefore every attack upon the historical reality of this story and the person and morality of Jesus has been launched by the Khazars. Where that has proved insufficient, the new state religion of "Holocaust" Newspeak (absent from dictionaries before 1978) has been established by all Western governments and by all hireling priests and preachers. By this means Auschwitz is made to replace Calvary as the axis mundi of Western history. Though the tale of the destruction of the Khazars during World War Two has been wildly and shamelessly exaggerated out of all proportion to what actually occurred in that time, there is no doubt that Jewish people were murdered in the hundreds of thousands and that this was a horrible crime. But what is never factored into the equation as the indictment of the West is prepared on this basis, is the fact that Hitler and his National Socialist German Worker's Party rose to a fury of indignation against Jewish people directly as a result of what Jewish communists like Trotsky (actual name: Leon Bronstein) and Lenin and the thoroughly-Jewish Bolshevik communist party in Moscow had done to the Christian peasantry of Mother Russia, which the Germans regarded as every inch a "holocaust." (The Jewish extraction of Lenin's mother has long been known to many Russian historians and party bureaucrats with access to inside information. Cf. "Who was a Jew? Why, Lenin of Course!", Jerusalem Post International Edition, Jan. 26, 1991, and Dimitry Volkogonov, Lenin: A New Biography). Both the Jewish

-Caveat Lector- - Forwarded message -- Here is the latest shocking letter I have received. The Seattle police actions against law-abiding citizens looks to me like something that should not be allowed to just fade away. What I am receiving sounds like more than just the actions of an incompetent mayor and a rambo police chief. Someone let me know if I am overreacting. Date: Sat, 04 Dec 1999 11:59:08 -0700 From: Jim and Jenni Muir [EMAIL PROTECTED] We just received this forwarded post (originated in US) from a friend in Australia. It's the worst we have heard yet! Jim and Jenni Muir *** Begin of forwarded message *** -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 03 Dec 1999 14:59:37 EST From: Free Student Press Project [EMAIL PROTECTED] snip Subject: More from Seattle -- 12/3/99 The following is written by me, Damon Krane, a 20 year-old college student who rode a bus two and a half days from Pittsburgh, PA to join the protests against anti-democratic corporate domination and the exploitation of human and animal life and the natuaral resources of this planet for the sake of profit, as represented by the WTO, which seeks to worsen the situation and take decision further and further away from the people whose lives are affected by them. The oligopolistic interests of corporate domination fought back, the Constitution was suspended, and seattle became a police state. But yesterday we prevailed, winning several important victories and raising public awareness. Permission is given to reprint this piece or excerpts from it to all who recieve this message. Please forward it to others. Much more has happened since I wrote Tuesday's story. Wednesday night my friend and I were hit with a concusion grenade and a tear gas cannister fired from an armored personnel carrier. We were in our house on 10th. Ave. on Capitol Hill when we heard teargas being shot off outside. Capitol Hill is a residential area and the part we are in is blocks and blocks away from the curfew zone where martial law had been established, yet police were pursuing protesters and gassing bystanders. We rushed outside, and standing in the front yard we saw the armored vehicle traveling down the street toward us. My friend was outraged. This was his house, his neighborhood. People were allowed to be outside their houses and on the streets. But when we didn't run back inside and showed our objection to the police's tactics (I raised both middle fingers and my friend shouted "Go Home! We don't want you here!"), an officer in full riot gear and gas mask raised his gas-gun and aimed it directly at us. As he was doing that, another officer fired a concussion grenade at us. It exploded and a few of the rubber pellets hit me in the arm. As we turned to run back inside, the first officer fired the tear gas cannister. It hit the house inches from a window and just as close to our heads. It exploded in a bright flash and began spewing gas as we ran to the door. We got inside, yelling and grasping our friends. We realized we were right in front of a window that faced out onto the street. We turned to see the armored vehicle passing as the officers aimed their weapons in at us. I yelled, "Get down!!" and everyone dropped to the floor. As the vehicle passed we began stuffing clothes underneath the door to keep out as much of the tear gas as we could. Their was no crowd to disperse in that instance; no unruly mob threatening to destroy property. My friend and I were standing in front of his house, and after identifying ourselves as protesters (this time of a police state and not the WTO) the police attacked us. They attacked many other Capitol Hill residents that evening, gassing, beating and pepper-spraying them. We watched on the news as one resident approached police yelling, "There are no protesters here. We're all residents! What are you doing here!?" Three officers then sprayed the man simultaneously with pepper spray. We watched a woman be tackled and held to the pavement as one officer hit her repeatedly in the head with a club and another sprayed her face. The scenes we witnessed were worse than any footage I've seen of police brutality during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. It became very clear that the police posed an incredible threat to the safety of the people of Seattle that night. As paranoid as this may sound, we devised an escape plan if police raided our house. But with that vision of a man in uniform raising a gun and firing it at my head -an image I don't think I'll ever forget- it seemed better to be safe than sorry. Another friend said that evening that we weren't unique in our situation, and she wasn't just talking about Seattle. Throughout the history of this country similar violence has been aimed at people struggling for social justice.

[CTRL] Secret history of anarchism (intro)
-Caveat Lector- I've been asked what I recommend for the first time reader of anarchism? Living My Life by Emma Goldman Anarchy by Maletesta Anarchism by Guerin Collectives in the Spanish Revolution by Leval Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution by Kropotkin Towards a Citizen's Militia: An Anarchist Alternative to NATO by Christie The Christie File by Christie The Unknown Revolution by Voline the AK Press Catalog by the AK Press staff and two pieces of fiction: The Free by Gilliland The Dispossessed by La Guinn That'll get you started, bookwise. If you want to learn about us, meet us. Attend the annual San Francisco Anarchist Book Fair in GG Park this coming April 15. There'll be speakers, food, books periodicals, t-shirts, free stuff and three or four thousand people, most of them young and good looking. We all disagree (of course) but personally I feel Maletesta is the one author who does the best job of outlining the basics of our outlook on life. Though an extremely well educated man he was self educated and thus not prone to speaking academese. He worked as a plumber and and as electrician. He spoke plainly and got straight to the point. His chapbook, though obviously a bit dated, is still (IMO) the best summation of what we're all about. When you're in San Francisco, check out the fine collection of contemporary anarchist (and other) periodicals available at Bound Together Books, 1369 Haight St, SF CA between Masonic and Central. Books alone give the false impression that we're over and done with. We're most emphatically not. We're a growing, thriving culture, alive on every continent. We're among the most heterogeneous bunch of folks on Earth. If you don't like one of us you WILL like another one. Some of us grew up in big Spanish or Italian families who have been anarchist for generations. Others fled the alienation of the American living room of own own volition, with no clue who anarchists were till we met some. We work in every trade. We're butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, soldiers, saliors, tinkers and spies. Some of us are lumberjacks, some of us are phone whores. Others practice medicine. A few are even lawyers. I myself am a writer. Before that I was a mechanic. Before that I hung dry wall. Before that I carried a hod. I'm not typical. None of are typical. We speak dozens of languages, are all ages, and represent every race, ethnic group and sexual persuasion you can think of and a few you never heard of. We include some of the best artists on the planet and not a few of the wisest pundits. A few of us are thick as bricks, but not freakin many. Even they are smart enough to know we're better off helping each other out than we are stabbing backs. Anarchism ain't rocket science. Any kindergardener knows the basics: share, clean up your mess, don't hit each other, learning is fun. Mutual aid is our most central core value, which makes us really good to have for friends and really bad to have for enemies. We're also the flat out, hands down, no competition, very best networkers on earth. Any anarchist who puts any effort into it can find comrades in the most obscure corners of the world. Even a cursory perusal of our thriving 'zine scene will give anybody who wants them enough pen pals to give Godzilla carpal tunnel syndrome. (BTW, we're also really good in bed. Did I mention that already?) Check out spunk.org's excellent collection. Or subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a while and see what we're up to around the world these days. And of course there's: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/Subject=Anarchism/2948-0182966-277254 They have 300+ titles. But for the real bird's eye lowdown you have to go to the horse's mouth. Write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask for a free catalog. Mark your email "attn. Ramsay" and tell him I sent you. Or you can (usually) pick up a free catalog at Bound Together. They're just to the right of the front door on the free stuff rack next to the bulletin board. Or ask at the counter. BTW, I use a different name there.

[CTRL] World: Hypocrisy Watch
-Caveat Lector- FYI. Hypocrisy watch A dozen years of evidence concerning media bias By Marvin Olasky Each year liberal journalists, instead of honestly acknowledging their liberalism, describe themselves as Dan Rather defined himself in an exchange on CNN's Crossfire on June 24: "an honest broker of information" whose motto is "play no favorites." For the 12th straight year, the Media Research Center [http://www.mrc.org] in Washington, D.C., in late November mailed to a panel of judges evidence of the way Dan Rather and others play favorites. On May 26, for example, Mr. Rather himself gushed about Hillary Clinton's "political lightning" and how she is a "crowd-pleaser." (Which crowd?) As a judge each year, I've seen repeatedly how the most influential newspapers play favorites while pretending to be objective. Ted Kennedy, according to New York Times reporter Adam Clymer, "deserves recognition not just as the leading Senator of his time but also as one of the greats in the history of this singular institution." Janet Reno, according to Juan Williams of the Washington Post, is approaching "Abe Lincoln status. People just assume she's honest, honest Janet Reno."

[CTRL] Fwd: 'OPERATION SURETY'
'OPERATION SURETY' [With additional Sunday Times and Executive Intelligence Review articles added below] Martial Law To Be Imposed On Streets Of Britain? by Mark Ian Birdsall Although much has been said and written about the potential dangers posed by the millennium bug, the vast majority of ordinary Britons remain oblivious to top secret Government plans that could, if the situation calls for it, impose Martial law on the streets of Britain. The Government has successfully manipulated media reporting of how it plans to deal with any millennium bug (or Y2K) crisis to instill blanket calm and public indifference to the dangers that may lie ahead. Comparisons with how other nations plan to deal with the millennium bug are often made, but so often whenever someone abroad issues a warning of dire consequences to come, they are either ignored or dismissed as scaremongers or crackpots. So, how's this for a comparison: The millennium bug represents the greatest threat to peacetime Britain since the Second World War. Scaremongering? Absolutely not. That is the judgement of those who sit in high office and who will ultimately determine what course of action to take should the situation manifestly deteriorate once the clock chimes midnight on new year's eve. The plans have been carefully laid, but no one can say with absolute certainty that they will cope with the aftermath of a worst case scenario. And incredulously, all that the British people have been provided with in the way of explaining what the millennium bug may be capable of, is a small yellow government advice booklet that came free with their favourite Sunday newspaper. Understandably, the British Government always intended that the booklet should act as a calming influence. No one expected it would contain references to the many uncertainties that may yet impinge on our ordinary way of life. "What the public doesn't know, don't tell them." We suspect that phrase will have been uttered and debated many times over during the lengthy process involved in compiling the booklet. EXPOSING THE DECEIT The Year 2000 Team (CITU) is the official British Government body within the Cabinet Office "responsible for monitoring and pushing forward progress on dealing with the date change problem". In a letter dated 11 May, 1999, CITU official, Mr J.G. Hicks, addressed a number of contentious issues we have helped highlight in the Unopened Files and during public lectures. Mr Hicks's comments were in direct response to a letter submitted by reader Mr. R. Grant of Ashford in Kent who attended one of those lectures at the University of Westminster, London, on 3 July. Mr Grant wanted to know if it were true that the British Government planned to put troops on the streets as part of 'Operation Abacus'. Mr Hicks replied: 'I have to say that I have not come across the term "Operation Abacus".' Mr Hicks could do worse than to note the following: On Thursday, 10 December, 1998, representatives from at least 80 nations, and possibly as many as 120, arrived at United Nations headquarters in New York City to confront the so-called Y2K problem. The Gartner Group, leaders in Y2K analysis worldwide, reported that no more than two dozen nations were actively working on the problem. "The consequences of unpreparedness in any one country can rapidly spill over to other parts of the world," said Pakistani Ambassador Ahmad Kamal, the conference organiser. John Koskinen, who chairs the U.S. government's effort to prepare for Y2K said: "The goal is to work together to identify and address issues that go across borders." UN organisers required that every nation taking part in the conference must name an official who would attend the session and serve as that government's Y2K leader. On Friday, 11 December, 1998, the conference delegates encouraged organisers to coordinate the sharing of information and contingency plans. John Koskinen, chairman of the United States' President's Council on the Year 2000 Conversion, told delegates: "We have two years' worth of work to do in a year's time." Acknowledging that with just over a year until the brunt of the problems hit, some failures are inevitable, the group spent much of the day discussing how nations can develop contingency plans. One suggestion was to set up 'SWAT Teams' that could move swiftly into the hardest hit areas with technical assistance. The coordinated effort would be known as 'Operation Abacus'. Although not a member of NATO, last November, Israel became the third nation, after Canada and the UK, to announce military operations related to the Y2K crisis. The code name for Israel's Y2K preparations is 'Operation Abacus' according to the New York Post. The paper claimed that the Israeli Government has allocated $10 million to counter possible millennium attacks on Jerusalem's Temple Mount by messianic Christians or Jewish extremists.

[CTRL] Fwd: Yet ANOTHER Mars spaceship missing, presumed dead
12.4.99 Yet ANOTHER Mars spaceship missing, presumed dead I could just SWEAR we--and I--have done this one before... just a little over 2 months ago, in fact. Come to think of it, is there ANY Mars mission undertaken in the past, say, 10 years which actually did survive and was able to implement it's intended operations? NewsHawk® Inc. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/US/reuters19991204_1052.html NASA Tests to See If Mars Polar Lander Survived PASADENA, Calif. (Reuters) - Scientists on Saturday prepared tests to determine if the ominous silence of the Mars Polar Lander was caused by the spacecraft purposely turning itself off due to a minor malfunction or if the mission has been lost. "We hope this is not going to be a big deal," said Laurie Leshin, a member of the mission's science team as she insisted that engineers remained upbeat about bringing the spacecraft back to life by making the first contact since it was scheduled to land safely on the Red Planet on Friday. The three-legged, 639-pound lander failed to make contact with Earth in three attempts by NASA scientists on Friday. Asked what happened, project manager Richard Cook said, "We just don't know." Cook said he hoped the craft had gone into a "safe mode" about 20 minutes after it had made a safe landing, explaining why it had failed to call home across 145 million miles of space. He said the craft's onboard computer was programmed to go into a safe mode if one of the lander's many instruments had failed or was temporarily malfunctioning. "If it was asleep, which in essence is what happens in a safe mode, then the lander would not be able to hear us when we sent instructions," Cook said. The craft is programmed to stay in a safe mode for 18 hours and would not wake up until 6:30 p.m. PST on Saturday (9:30 p.m. EST). A WAKE-UP CALL SCHEDULED At that time, engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena will send a signal to the lander asking it if it is awake and commanding it to start scanning the Martian sky until its main antenna locks on Earth. If there was to be a reply from the craft, Leshin said, it would come at about 8:30 p.m. PST on Saturday (11:30 p.m. EST). She said that if the craft was still not able to receive commands, there is a built-in command sequence in the lander's onboard computer to tell it to switch to its Ultra High Frequency antenna on Sunday night and beam signals to the Mars Global Surveyor, a satellite orbiting Mars at an altitude of 250 miles. If that succeeds, engineers can then order the craft to switch to backup systems to bypass whatever problems it has been having, Leshin said. However, if that fails, "Then it's time to start worrying," Leshin said. NASA scientists said they would continue to try to make contact after Sunday but that if there was still silence from Mars by next Thursday night, they might lose all hope for the mission. The lander has a built-in clock and if it does not hear from Earth for six days it begins swapping between main and backup systems in its onboard computer and radio and then tries to contact Earth, officials said. FATE OF MICROPROBES UNKNOWN The plight of two grapefruit-sized microprobes that hitched a ride on the lander and then deliberately plummeted to the Martian surface, striking it at 400 miles per hour, looked even gloomier than that of the lander. They have tiny, non-rechargeable batteries that could run out by Monday, officials said. The microprobes also have failed to respond to signals sent by the global surveyor. Scientists said they fear that if they do not hear anything by Monday, they will never learn the results of the experiment to learn whether delicate instruments can be protected by modern-day armor that can withstand a 400-mph impact. The microprobes blasted through the Martian atmosphere on Friday for a landing in the south polar region of the planet. The microprobes also were intended to compliment the lander in its search for water on Mars, seen as vital in determining whether the planet was ever capable of supporting life even in its most primitive forms. Water also is an invaluable resource for any future manned exploration of the planet. There were fears that America may have lost its second space mission to Mars in three months. If the lander and the two probes have been lost, it would represent a crushing blow to NASA's ambitious "faster, cheaper, better" space exploration program. The Mars Climate Orbiter, a satellite and the lander's sister ship, which was to have helped its exploration of the Red Planet by acting as a relay station from the Martian surface to Earth, was lost in September through human error when scientists mixed up English and metric measurements.

[CTRL] The Man Who Found The Money
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Man Who Found The Money Saul Engelberg Leonard Bushkoff©1996 Michigan State University Press East Lansing. Michigan 48823-5202 ISBN 0-87013-414-0 257 pps. -- First Edition -- In-print - 3 KENNEDY AND THE SCOTTISH AMERICAN INVESTMENT COMPANY FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN THE United States provided billions to an economy that hungered for capital. The railroads, hungering the most, and offering the most, received most by far of this capital formation, and could not have been built without it. The total investment in American railroads came to a billion dollars or more in 1867, three billion in 1873, five billion in 1880, and fully ten billion in 1890. The source for some forty percent of this capital before 1914 was Europe, with Britain (including Scotland) far ahead. The Scottish contribution to all this was vital. Scottish investment, in fact, doubled in a mere seventeen years, during 1873-90. And 1873-83 saw Scotland provide perhaps two-thirds of total British investment in the American stock market and in mortgages, particularly those of Western grazing lands. But the absence of political or judicial strictures made international investment inherently risky, as European investors learned throughout the nineteenth century. Witness the bond default by fully nine American states in the 1840s, and the occasional cheating of British investors in American cattle ranches, not to mention those injured when the New Haven Railroad issued fraudulent stock in the 1850s. Witness also the easy "writing down"frequently by as much as a quarter or a third-of capital, so often foreign, during the many railroad reorganizations later in the century. Foreign investors were fair game to state legislative and judicial attacks, though federal courts, their presidential appointed judges free from local pre ssures and more sensitive to the country's need for foreign capital, were much better. Nevertheless, honesty and legality were not invariably respected in the new land. And if the victims were unknown Britons, thousands of miles away, so much the worse for them. Though British investors were attracted by high rates, they were wary of bonds that seemed to promise too much. There was no way to verify information that was limited and often unreliable, if not downright deceitful. Legal and quasi-legal safeguards for the buyer were almost entirely lacking. Recourse to American courts would hardly help investors in far-off Europe, who were confused in any case by the differences between state and federal jurisdictions. And a vulnerable investor was a fearful one. How could this fear of the unknown, the unpredictable and unaccountable, be countered? The way lay clear for a third party, with a reputation for trustworthiness and competence in international investment, to step into the breach. And this is precisely what J. S. Kennedy Co., with its Scots background and its American presence, connections and experience, could do, offering peace of mind to hundreds of small investors who desired the goal but feared the means. Here was the basis for the winning combination which Kennedy was to pioneer in 1873 with a new force in the Scottish financial world: the Scottish American Investment Company, Ltd., the very first investment company in Scotland (a dozen or so more were to imitate it), and a great success in focusing exclusively on the United States. In a capital market of individual investors, here was an innovation attuned to the needs of the day: an institutional investor, mobilizing small but regular clients-some 500 in 1875for long-term investing, rather than short-term trading, by satisfying their search for higher returns than the British Isles offered. Capital could, in fact, be obtained in Scotland for about half its cost in the United States. Starting with £1,000,000 in 1873, the firm doubled it by 1875, as new investors flocked to the winner's column. As of 1880, it had invested fully £1,250,000 in the United States, while prudently holding back a substantial reserve with which to snap up any targets of opportunity.[1] Kennedy devoted much of his effort, and that of J. S. Kennedy Co., to serving as its New York agent during 1873-83; no other clients were comparable in size and significance. And he remained on Scottish American's Advisory Board for fully twenty-five years. In effect, Kennedy was helping achieve a profitable synthesis between Scots thrift and American opportunity. He worked in alliance with William John Menzies, the founder and managing dire ctor of Scottish American. Menzies had a background in law, finance and investment advising. He knew America from his travels there in 1864, 1867 and 1872, which also strengthened his connections in that tribal brotherhood, the overseas Scottish business community. Of this Kennedy, a member of various Scottish organizations in New York and a frequent traveler to the old country, was very much a part. After the 1872 trip,
[CTRL] Clinton's COMPUTER-GATE Scandal
-Caveat Lector- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (CharlesSmith) Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 Subj: WND - Clinton's "COMPUTER-GATE" Scandal http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith/ 19991130_xcsof_brokering_.shtml Clinton's "COMPUTER-GATE" Scandal Did President Clinton allow China and Russia to buy U.S. super-computers, knowing they would be used for military purposes? According to the General Accounting Office (GAO), the answer is yes. The GAO recently released a scathing report critical of President Clinton's high-tech export policy. According to the GAO, "the President's July 1999 report to Congress did not fully satisfy the reporting requirements of the Defense Authorization act." Overall, only three percent of all computer licenses were for "sensitive" end-users such as foreign military units. The GAO noted that the Clinton administration issued over 1,900 licenses for high-speed computers to communist China between November 1997 and August 1999. Of the 1,924 computers licensed for China, 48 computers were to "sensitive end-users or uses", or nearly 2.5 percent of all sales to China. In contrast, India, which recently surprised the world with a series of secret nuclear tests, received only 113 computers. However, 79 of the 113 computers sent to India were to "sensitive end-users", or nearly 70 percent of all high-speed computer sales to the nation. High-speed computer exports are under the control of the U.S. Commerce Dept. The Commerce Dept. also claims that it is engaged in only "civilian" and commercial operations. This claim is false. U.S. Commerce documents provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) show that Commerce officials hosted Chinese Army officers for the sole purpose of providing military training and exports, including high-speed computers that could be used for air defenses. Secretary William Daley officially documented Commerce Undersecretary of Export Administration William Reinsch as the contact for "any questions" in a written response to the GAO. Reinsch was contacted for this article but did not respond to a request for an interview or comment. President Clinton's report on computer exports acknowledged there are direct military applications, including nuclear weapons development. However, Clinton dodged the export issue by simply not commenting on the national security impact of his decision to allow such sales to military end-users. According to President Clinton, the money from foreign military users is more important than if foreign militaries use the American computers to wage war. "The (President's) report did address two of the three requirements to determine the availability of high performance computers in foreign countries and the potential use of the newly decontrolled computers for significant military use," wrote the GAO. "These applications include advanced aircraft design, anti-submarine warfare sensor development, and radar applications." "(The President's report) did not, however, assess the impact of such military use on the national security interests of the United States," wrote the GAO. "Instead, the report discussed the economic importance of a strong U.S. computer industry to U.S. national security. The President's report concluded that failure to adjust U.S. export requirements for computers and processors would have a significant negative effect on the U.S. computer industry." "The (President's) report implied that high performance computers are readily available for foreign sources," states the GAO. "A 1998 study sponsored by DOD (Dept. of Defense) and Commerce found that the United States dominates the international computer market." There is ample evidence to support the GAO, proving that Russia and China prefer U.S. super-computers. For example, the following items were documented in the U.S. House Select Committee Report (Cox Report) issued Jan. 3, 1999: -- On July 31, 1998, the Dept. of Commerce announced that IBM entered a guilty plea for the illegal export a Super-Computer to Russia. IBM received the maximum allowable fine of $8.5 million for 17 counts of violating U.S. export laws through the sale of a Super-Computer to a Russian nuclear weapons laboratory known as Arzamas-16. The Clinton administration has decided to allow Arzamas-16 to keep the IBM computer. -- On April 18, 1997, the Commerce Department imposed a $55,000 civil penalty on Compaq Computer Corporation of Houston, Texas, for alleged violations of the Export Administration Regulations. The Commerce Department alleged that, on three separate occasions between September 17, 1992 and June 11, 1993, Compaq exported computer equipment from the United States to several countries, including China, without obtaining required export licenses.
