Re: [CTRL] [BRIGADE] Homosexuals, Fulani, and Me
-Caveat Lector- In late June 1997, I was living in Huntsville Alabama when a few friends and I got wind of a plan by the AL Department of Public Safety to begin forcing all citizens to be fingerprinted before they could obtain a drivers license. You want to talk about outraged? If you think it it can't happen to you, think again. I live in California. It's already happened to us. I'm so outraged that I'm willing to unite with the likes of Pat Buchanan and his friends to fight it if that's what it takes. I respect Pat as a man and I admire his honesty. I think he's a very talented entertainer. But honestly, I think his politics are dead wrong about *almost* everything. I have even less use for Fulani. Pat at least I respect as a man. But if they are willing to unite against the monster that seeks to devour us all, I say good for both them. I'm going to catch a lot of flack from certain of my friends for saying it but I say it again. Good for both of them, and good for [EMAIL PROTECTED], too. It's about time somebody here was willing to put first things first. We can sort out our differences later, in a civil fashion if possible or otherwise if not. It doesn't matter which. What matters is what we do now. We MUST present a united front on the issues on which we do agree. They are vital, mortal issues. Time is growing short, and we are in great peril. Aside with our differences, I say. Next to what the WTO, the IMF and the World Bank have in store for us, they are petty and irrelevant. We MUST put them on hold. We MUST ally.

[CTRL] [Fwd: HAARP Expansion of Montauk Project]
HAARP Project Expansion of the Montauk Project http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/6583/project018.html Top Secret Projects http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/6583/projects.html Expansion of the Montauk Project By Preston Nichols and Peter Moon Excerpted from the chapter "Star Wars and Mind-Control Transmissions" in Encounter in the Pleiades, an Inside Look at UFOs. Mind-control transmissions are another phenomenon that fits in with the subject of implants, although they are of a completely different nature. I will illustrate how these work by relaying a real-life investigation. In the summer of 1995 I received a telephone call from a woman I will identify as Susan DaRe. She felt that she had been targeted by mind-control transmissions, sickness transmissions and just about everything else. Her story interested me enough that I decided I would visit her and do an electromagnetic study. I was already going to a hamfest (where ham radio gear is bought and sold) in Virginia, and it was not too much out of my way to stop in at her home right across from Fort Meade, a military installation in Maryland. When I arrived, we went out to dinner with her friend Bruce and she began to tell me her life story. Susan was born in 1951 and was adopted by a German family who had come to America after World War II and had been involved with Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Her family owned a lumber business in the Midwest and frequently played host to intelligence personnel such as CIA and NSA staffers. As a young lady, she had some sort of magical initiation. Susan was subsequently implanted and grew up. Today she claims to have tremendous psychic ability. As an adult, Susan searched for her natural father and found out that he had served extensively in Egypt and was very highly placed in U.S. military intelligence. That was all she could find out except for the fact that he wanted to disavow all connection to her. After telling her whole story, she told me that she is targeted and that her stepfamily is still connected to the intelligence community (CIA). Susan strongly believes the common theory that the CIA's roots began with the Nazi SS. She said the reason she is being targeted is the lumber business. When her stepfather died, she was to be left half of it and her stepbrother would get the other half of what was valued at about fourteen million dollars. Susan believes the intelligence community, working in concert with her "black magic uncle," wanted to get rid of her so that the natural son would inherit the entire business. As we drove to her house after dinner, I began the electromagnetic study. I first tuned in to an 1080-MHz signal that I had been studying for a month. I noticed that when I got close to her car, the signal would appear. When she got well ahead of us, the signal would disappear. It was as if the transmitter for that signal was in her car. I knew this was not the case, because I'd been picking up this same signal all across the Northeast and it couldn't possibly have been transmitted from her car. There was no question that the 1080-MHz signal was being directed at Susan. As soon as we arrived at her house, I began the electromagnetic survey at that location. I immediately found the 1080-MHz signal and also found the 435-MHz signal that routinely emanates from the vicinity of Montauk.* I also found a strong ELF (extra-low-frequency) broadcast that was as low as my equipment can pick up (about 50 to 400 kHz). I videotaped the entire display of different signals. The Montauk signal at 435 MHz was particularly interesting because whenever I pick it up from Montauk, it is usually broken into pieces. If the pieces were put together, it would make up a signal like the one I was viewing in Maryland. As Susan moved in and out of the house, I noticed subtle changes in the scope pattern for the 435-MHz signal. I had her walk around, and wherever she would position herself, a subtle change would show up on the scope and be noticeable on the receivers as well. Next, I tuned back into the 1080-MHz signal and tried the same thing. I noticed that if she sat still in the car, the 1080-MHz signal faded out. If she moved around, it came back. Susan then showed me a report by Dr. Peter Moscow. He is the president of the U.S. Psychotronics Association and is an excellent bioelectric magnetic researcher. He is involved with Wilhelm Reich's work and radionics, and I was already familiar with him. His report indicated that she had brain damage and had been exposed to aberrant electromagnetic fields such as ELF and VLF fields. I had definitely picked up the aberrant electromagnetic fields (the 435-MHz and the 1080-MHz signals). When Susan had an MRI done, there were sections of her brain where the myelin sheathing was disappearing. This is known to be the start of multiple sclerosis. She believes this ailment to be a result of the transmissions broadcast in her direction. I believe
[CTRL] HAARP, Weather War, And EMF Mind Control
-Caveat Lector- HAARP Project http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/6583/project116.html HAARP, Weather War, And EMF Mind Control Author: Unknown 12-23-97 In May of 1988, I wrote an article for the Canadian Intelligence Service headed "Weather War?" The preamble written by the editor said this: "Her story, indeed, is 'stranger than fiction.' And it's only the beginning, the first glimpse of a new and uncertain factor in human affairs, opening up unimagined physical possibilities - but also threatening our very survival." Those words were indeed prophetic. Advanced technology based on the original works of Nikola Tesla is being developed at an alarming rate. This discoverer of alternating current power source and transmission system (among other accomplishments was a genius before his time. In spite of this, his name is unfamiliar to most because soon after his death in 1943 his data was removed from libraries and his only claim to fame now is the Tesla Coil. He hoped his discoveries would be used for peaceful, life-enhancing purposes.) While traveling in Alaska in the summer of 1994, we visited the Copper Valley area hoping to explore the old mines. A large intimidating sign blocked all access to this region. I didn't think too much of it at the time, however I later learned of a highly secret project being constructed there and was able to locate a book published in Alaska discussing the HAARP system, that being an acronym for High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project. The authors of "Angels Don't Play This HAARP" base their information on documents they were able to view which came out of secret meeting of the U.S. Government and the U.S. Military. HAARP is a ground-based "Star Wars" weapon which has the capability to manipulate the environment in such a way as to change weather patterns, disrupt global communications systems, disrupt human mental processes, negatively affect health, and impact the Earth's upper atmosphere in an unnatural and damaging way. By interfering with the Earth's magnetic field there is no assurance that damage on an irreversible global scale will not occur. All participants involved in designing HAARP are part of a giant partnership of government, the military and many private corporations which form defense intelligence contractual networks, and it is done in secret. Critics of the project believe that large groups of independent scientists should be talking a close look at these developments before the project is allowed to continue. A biggest "ionospheric heater" in the world is located on the HAARP site. Focused energy could be beamed up to the ionosphere where the radio-frequency waves would interact powerfully with charged particles that are always trapped up there. The heating effect of the focused beam would then dramatically push a plume - a large section of the ionosphere - up and outward from Earth. One critic of the project called it "skybusting." The Earth is protected from harmful cosmic rays by the Van Allen Radiation Belt in conjunction with the Earth's magnetic field. The ozone layer protect us from ultra-violet light. If this dual barrier is weakened, allowing these high-energy particles from the ionosphere to enter the atmosphere, serve damage could be caused to the DNA blueprints of all life on Earth. This is only one of the disastrous effects of which the HAARP system capable. Co-author Jean Manning, in conversation with a ham operator, learned that as early as 1975-76 the Soviet Union was beaming radio-frequency signals toward North America. Ham operators were picking up the 10-hertz (pulses per second) frequencies which they called Woodpecker signals because of the tapping they heard from extremely low frequency (ELF) waves. It was speculated that his ELF frequency could resonate the neurons in the human brain over great distance, resulting in mood changes in a large part of the population. These ELF waves could cause communication interference, power failures, and weather modification designed to have a devastating effect on food production. HAARP records disclose that when the project is up to full power, it will be able to send very low frequency and extra low frequency (VLF and ELF) waves at energy levels sufficient to affect entire regional populations. What other objective can there be but to control people? What is even more ominous is the authors' picture of what they refer to as the "psychocivilized society." After reviewing HAARP documents and Air Force materials, the possibility is there for the HAARP transmitting system to be used "inadvertently or intentionally to after mental functions." Early research on the brain was conducted on animals, using electrodes inserted into the brain to produce different kinds of behavior. Dr. Jose M.R. Delgado developed his research so that brain-manipulating effects could be achieved at a distans, and by changing wave form, could completely change the thinking and emotional state

Kroniatalk Discussion THE ABSURDITY OF NEUTRON STARS . . . . . . . . . by Wal Thornhill -- CLOSING THE GAP By Amy Acheson When Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision was published, in 1950, the mention of catastrophism in any form was anathema to science. Ideas have changed rapidly since then. Plate tectonics and the Spokane floods have crept into geology. Punctuated equilibrium and mass extinctions by asteroid impact have become fashionable. It's no longer beyond the scope of science to see the destruction of Atlantis in a Mediterranean volcano or Noah's deluge in the sudden filling of the Black Sea. A fast-growing contingent of astronomers are concerned with the perils of Earth- crossing asteroids. Galactic collisions and pole flips, albeit billions-of-years-ago, are common threads in modern science. But the gap between Velikovsky and orthodox science still looks formidable. After all, Velikovsky said that planets moved in different orbits within the memory of humanity. Surely orthodox science will never reconsider a hypothesis that absurd. Let's not be so hasty. Here's part of a press release dated Nov. 19, 1999: "Jupiter's fiery moon Io is providing scientists with a window on volcanic activity and colossal lava flows similar to those that raged on Earth eons ago, thanks to new pictures and data gathered by NASA's Galileo spacecraft... ... Dr. Torrence Johnson, Galileo project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, CA [said], "Io is the next best thing to traveling back in time to Earth's earlier years. It gives us an opportunity to watch, in action, phenomena long dead in the rest of the solar system". By conventional dating, the press release defined the term "eons ago" with this phrase: "The last comparable lava eruption on Earth occurred 15 million years ago." Any catastrophic event of global proportions could drastically shorten that date. They're talking about very recent history in terms of planet Earth, about lava flows in which North American rhinoceroses were trapped. The activity on Jupiter's fiery moon Io is due to its unusual orbit, in close proximity to the electrical and gravitational fields of the gas giant, Jupiter. The convergent mythical record of human cultures around the world remembers the gas giants Saturn as dominating the Earth's sky before it fled or was driven away. Has the time come to consider the possibility that there is a connection between these two statements, one the latest scientific observation and the other the oldest story known? Amy Acheson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MYTHIC ROOTS OF LANGUAGE part III By Dave Talbott More than once I've expressed the belief that the echoes of an original unity pervade our language. The patterns, however, will not be recognized until one sees the true source of the unity in a planetary configuration. My contention has been that this configuration was an obsessive focus of human attention in the crucial phase of language formulation. To illustrate the point it may be useful to go back to the "first condition", the earliest-remembered time and the concepts which it inspired. These integrated concepts were reflected in written language at its inception and, as a whole, they cannot be understood apart from the Saturn model. Prior assumptions of historians, anthropologists, and etymologists cannot account for the complex of meanings attached to those ancient words describing the primeval condition, the age of Saturn. Keeping to the most fundamental concepts, here are some of the archetypal themes one might explore in relation to the language of the First Time: Chaos, Water, Seed, Sky, Formlessness, One, All, Unity, Conjunction, Rest, Peace, Whole, Holy, Universe, Wheel, Cycle, Becoming, Turning, Time, Heaven, High, Hollow, Void, Chasm, Yawning. This may look like a rather long list, and yet the underlying principles are both simple and unified. The age of Saturn means the transition from primeval chaos to order, from non-differentiation to diversity, from formlessness to form, from inactivity to activity, from no-time to time, from a pre-dawn glow to a cycle of day and night. That is what the archetypal "creation" myth is about, and Saturn is the creator- king. But the meanings of the ancient words need to be clarified. What does "formless" mean, for example? What does "chaos", or its "yawning" aspect, mean? Present experience
[CTRL] Shimon Peres on Iran-Contra
-Caveat Lector- Peres: Agreement Made on Contra Deal By SARI BASHI .c The Associated Press JERUSALEM (AP) - Former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres revealed rare details about the Iran-Contra affair Sunday, saying that he and two other former Israeli premiers unanimously agreed on participating in the deal. Appearing on a talk show on Israel TV, Peres also expressed shock that then-President Reagan withheld information from top U.S. officials about the controversial deal to sell arms to Iran in the mid-1980s. The weapons, including anti-tank missiles, were sent to Iran in exchange for Iran's agreement to work for the release of U.S. hostages held in Lebanon by pro-Iranian Shiite Muslim extremists. At the time, both Israel and the United States publicly condemned arms sales to Iran. The affair resurfaced last week, when police found documents and tapes on the deal from the office of Yaakov Nimrodi, one of three Israeli arms traders who brokered the deal in which U.S. weapons were sent to Iran via Israel. Part of the profits were funneled to anti-Sandinista insurgents in Nicaragua known as Contras. He defended Israel's participation in the affair, saying it was the joint decision of then-Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin, then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and himself. ``There were three people, the most experienced the most responsible, and we did it unanimously,'' he said. Peres, who is now Regional Cooperation Minister, said that while the request to broker the deal came from U.S. security agents, he discussed the deal with Reagan and had no idea that then-Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and then-Secretary of State George Shultz were not fully informed about the operation. ``I didn't know there was a dispute among them,'' said Peres, who was Foreign Minister at the time. ``It was the surprise of my life when I later found out that Shultz and Weinberger didn't know.'' Both those officials claimed they were ignorant about most of the deal. Weinberger faced felony charges of lying to Congress and to prosecutors in the case, but was pardoned by former President Bush before his trial began. Peres said he knew of no criminal activity from Israel's part of the deal, dismissing claims that Nimrodi took profits from the sales for his personal use. He said he replaced Nimrodi with Amiram Nir, military adviser to Shamir, after the Americans asked to handle the negotiations themselves. ``At a certain stage, the Americans said, 'leave it to us,''' Peres recounted. Several U.S. officials faced criminal charges in the affair but were pardoned or had their cases overturned amid accusations that they knew more than they admitted. Peres said he knew nothing about reports that Nir, who died in a 1988 plane crash, was killed as part of a conspiracy to prevent details from the affair from leaking out.

Re: [CTRL] Woodstock, Dead of Natural Causes or MURDERED?
-Caveat Lector- Altamont Ended Flower Power Era By WILLIAM SCHIFFMANN .c The Associated Press ALTAMONT, Calif. (AP) - It was billed as a West Coast Woodstock - a huge free concert in a windswept cow pasture, headlined by the Rolling Stones. Instead, the gathering 30 years ago became one of the most violent days in the history of rock 'n' roll and perhaps the last act in the halcyon era of hippie love. ``It was an ending, a transition, the end of the Flower Power move towards community,'' said Charles Pressler, associate professor of sociology at Purdue University North Central. ``That idea of community was exploded at Altamont.'' Repeated attempts to recreate the original Woodstock have been doomed to revive images of the deadly Altamont concert of Dec. 6, 1969. Woodstock '99 was no exception. The August event attracted 200,000 people to upstate New York and ended in an orgy of violence with fires, looting and women sexually assaulted in a vicious mosh pit right in front of the stage. Promoters at Altamont, who had expected about 10,000 people, were overrun as more than 300,000 flocked to the hillsides and dusty meadows some 40 miles east of San Francisco 30 years ago. They were drawn by the bill - including Santana, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - and the dream of recreating the Woodstock festival held that August on Max Yasgur's farm. But a series of missteps turned the gathering deadly. As the Stones rocked on stage in the evening chill, a member of the notorious Hells Angels motorcycle gang, hired as security, attacked and stabbed Meredith Hunter, an 18-year-old man from Berkeley. Hunter died. Alan Pasaro, who admitted stabbing him but said someone else struck the fatal blows, was eventually acquitted. ``It was important to everybody, a free concert, everybody coming together,'' recalled Vic Henan, a publicist in San Jose who was 16 when he hitchhiked to Altamont with three friends. ``We were going to have our own Woodstock. But it turned ugly very fast.'' All the usual festival concert problems - scarce bathrooms, no food, no water - were made worse by the choice of the Hells Angels as security. They rode their bikes through the crowd, armed with pool cues and knives, and were paid with $500 worth of beer. Doctors treated more than 800 people on LSD. Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane was beaten unconscious. Two New Jersey men died when they were run over as they slept. Another person drowned in the nearby California Aqueduct. ``What happened? What went wrong?'' Mick Jagger said shortly after the concert. ``If Jesus had been there, he would have been crucified.'' The area today doesn't look much different than it did 30 years ago. Cows still wander the hills and pastures, which are dotted with trees and well-worn farm houses. The concert, designed as a ``thank-you'' from the British rockers after a successful U.S. tour, was immortalized in the film documentary ``Gimme Shelter'' by Albert Maysles and his brother Donald. ``We came in by helicopter at 3 a.m., before the light came up. As I was walking towards the site with the band, we came to a fence,'' Albert Maysles, now 73, said in a telephone interview from his office at Maysles Films in New York. ``Somebody started to pull down the fence, and one of the Stones, with some kind of stroke of prescience, said, 'The first act of violence.'' Not everyone agrees the concert signaled a change in society. ``It's a crass misreading of the times,'' said professor Paul Friedlander, director of the Music Industry Studies program at Chico State University in Chico, Calif. ``It's difficult to say that in December of 1969 Flower Power died. If it ever existed, it had been wilting for the last couple of years.'' DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] China Says Jump, Seattle Asks How High?
-Caveat Lector- China says Seattle scraps Falun Gong endorsement By Matt Pottinger BEIJING, Dec 2 (Reuters) - The mayor of Seattle has scrapped plans to honour the leader of the Falun Gong spiritual movement under pressure from China, Chinese state media said on Thursday. U.S. followers of Falun Gong said on Monday Seattle Mayor Paul Schell had agreed to designate days honouring Falun Gong and its Chinese founder, Li Hongzhi, the China Daily said. But Chinese Ambassador to the United States Li Zhaoxing, attending World Trade Organisation talks in Seattle, met Schell and persuaded him to revoke his endorsement, the newspaper said. Schell told the ambassador he was ``embarrassed by making such a careless proclamation,'' the newspaper said in an article titled ``Falun Gong Muffled in U.S. City.'' He later told the ambassador in a telephone call the endorsement had been cancelled, the newspaper said. Schell also offered to send a formal letter of apology to the Chinese government, it added. Seattle city officials were not immediately available for comment. China outlawed the popular movement in July after practitioners demanded government recognition of their faith in a series of bold protests, including a gathering of 10,000 followers at the central leadership compound in Beijing in April. CHINA SEES GRAVE THREAT China has said the group poses a grave threat to Communist Party rule and foments social instability by spreading superstitious beliefs. It has mounted a sweeping campaign against the group and arrested at least 150 of its leaders. Several members have already been jailed for up to 12 years and an unknown number sent without trial to labour camps. Li Hongzhi founded Falun Gong in China in 1991, but moved to New York six years ago. He is now China's most wanted man. Falun Gong mixes elements of Buddhism and Daoism with Chinese physical and breathing exercises. Li Hongzhi says adherents can cure diseases and acquire supernatural powers by harnessing the force of an invisible revolving wheel he places in the abdomens of followers. He has railed against a world he sees as corrupted by science and immorality and near the brink of catastrophe. U.S. mayors are routinely swamped with requests by groups for honour proclamations and other forms of official recognition. Mayor Schell told the Chinese ambassador he knew nothing about Falun Gong when he signed the order proclaiming ``Falun Dafa and Li Hongzhi days,'' the China Daily said. Falun Dafa is another name for Falun Gong. In July, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown also cancelled a proclamation honouring Li Hongzhi just days after China banned the group, citing fears the proclamation ``would be misinterpreted.''

[CTRL] Jonathan Pollard: Hillary's Quid Pro Quo ?
-Caveat Lector- Group demands Mrs Clinton speak out on Israel spy By Grant McCool NEW YORK, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Hundreds of mostly Jewish demonstrators on Sunday rallied on the doorstep of Hillary Clinton's U.S. Senate campaign headquarters, demanding the first lady use her influence with the president to win the release of a convicted Israeli spy. The rally of rabbis and community leaders was the second in recent months calling on Clinton to state her position on whether former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard -- who has served 14 years of a life sentence after pleading guilty to selling U.S. military secrets to Israel -- should be freed. ``We are not going away. This is only the beginning of the campaign. We want to know from Hillary where she stands on this important issue,'' said Democratic New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who led the demonstration on the sidewalk outside Clinton's Manhattan headquarters for her U.S. Senate run in 2000. Clinton was in Washington at the time of the rally and her campaign spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment. The first lady is campaigning for the Senate seat representing New York State being vacated by fellow Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who is retiring. The Pollard issue could be important in Clinton's bid for office because she risks alienating some Jewish voters, a key constituency in any New York political campaign. She has already been heavily criticised by the same Jewish activists for sitting in silence last month while Suha Arafat, wife of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, made a speech highly critical of Israel at a delicate time in the peace process. Clinton's probable Republican opponent in the Nov. 2000 election is New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who enjoys the support of many conservative Jewish voters. ``What Jonathan Pollard did was wrong and he went to prison and he belonged in prison,'' Hikind, who represents a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in Brooklyn, told about 300 people at the rally. ``But there is no reason why he should be treated differently from every other spy for a friendly nation.'' Some of the demonstrators held placards such as ``Hill and Bill: Let Jonathan Go'' and ``Hillary: Justice for Pollard.'' Senior U.S. security and intelligence officials oppose Pollard's release and presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Bill Clinton have refused to pardon him.

Re: [CTRL] Shimon Peres on Iran-Contra
-Caveat Lector- Iran-Contra Files Seized in Israel By LAURIE COPANS .c The Associated Press JERUSALEM (AP) - Documents and tapes linked to the Iran-Contra affair have been seized from the office of an Israeli newspaper publisher and one-time arms dealer, a lawyer in the case said Thursday. The office of Yaakov Nimrodi, acting publisher of the Maariv daily, was searched this week as part of an investigation involving Nimrodi's son, Ofer, who is suspected of having plotted the murder of a state witness in a wiretapping scandal. Police are not renewing an investigation of the Iran-Contra affair, said spokesman Ofer Sivan. He would not say what material was taken from Nimrodi's office. The Iran-Contra scandal erupted in the mid-1980s when Israel and the United States secretly sold weapons to Iran, while publicly condemning arms sales to the country. The weapons, including anti-tank missiles, were sent to Iran in exchange for Iran's agreement to work for the release of U.S. hostages held in Lebanon by pro-Iranian Shiite Muslim extremists. Nimrodi, a former agent in Iran for Israel's Mossad secret service, was one of three Israeli middlemen in the deal. Part of the profits were funneled to anti-Sandinista insurgents in Nicaragua known as Contras. Yitzhak Shamir, prime minister at the time, said the United States always knew what Israel was doing, but did not always agree. ``Our interests were different, though very close,.'' he told Israel television. Nimrodi's lawyer, Yossi Cohen, said Thursday that his client was writing a book about the scandal and that while the documents and tapes in his possession were of historical importance, they were not secret. Cohen said, however, that Nimrodi hadn't looked at the material in 15 years. A reference to Irangate first emerged Wednesday when police said they had found a secret document linked to the scandal in the office of private investigator Oded Ben-Dov. Police suspect Ben-Dov was hired as a hitman by Nimrodi's son in the alleged plot against the witness. Ben-Dov said the Iran-Contra document he had was sent to him by an overseas client several years ago, the Haaretz newspaper reported. Israel television reported that the document was a secret Israeli government inquiry into the scandal. The younger Nimrodi stepped down as Maariv publisher after police announced last month they were investigating him in connection with the alleged murder plot. Nimrodi was arrested a week ago. Earlier this year, he had served four-and-a-half months in jail on charges he wiretapped phones of a rival newspaper, Yediot Ahronot.

[CTRL] Model Behavior ?
-Caveat Lector- Ex-model agency exec says behaviour inexcusable PARIS, Dec 1 (Reuters) - A senior executive who resigned from leading French model agency Elite over a documentary showing him soliciting sex said on Wednesday his behaviour was inexcusable but he denied any criminal acts. Elite Europe chairman Gerald Marie was among four Elite staff who came under fire after a BBC film, which used a hidden camera to track a woman reporter in the guise of an aspiring model in Milan, exposed the sleazy side of the modelling world. ``The language that one uses in bars is unacceptable, even if one was framed, even if it needed three months to gather several expressions...It's inexcusable,'' he told LCI television. Assistant Milan Prosecutor Ferdinando Pomarici opened an inquiry last week after the documentary said hundreds of young girls are exploited each year in Milan by unscrupulous agents who encourage them to have sex with ``clients.'' Filmed in secret, Marie -- ex-husband of supermodel Linda Evangelista -- appears to be seen saying to the woman journalist: ``I'll give you one million lire ($522) if you go to bed with me.'' Marie resigned from Elite along with Xavier Moreau, head of Elite model Look. Both have shunned an offer to be brought back on the board and said they would fight independently to clear their names. ``There was rigging in the editing, of course, there are phrases which are not justified for the images,'' he said.

[CTRL] World's 6th Largest Nuclear Arsenal
-Caveat Lector- "Vanunu secretly took a set of photographs inside the Dimona reactor and passed them to The London Sunday Times. Based on those photographs, the Times wrote in 1986 that Israel had the world's 6th largest nuclear arsenal." Mordechai Vanunu Remains a Mystery By RON KAMPEAS .c The Associated Press JERUSALEM (AP) - Mordechai Vanunu was a loner with access to Israel's most guarded secrets, a cheap camera and a determination to tell the world what he knew about the country's nuclear arsenal. A partial, heavily censored 1,200-page transcript of the whistleblower's closed-door trial, made available for the first time last week, reads like a Le Carre spy thriller where the mystery lies less in the facts than in the motives. With the partial publication, apparently permitted to stave off demands for full disclosure, Israel took another step toward confirming what military experts and academics have long asserted: the country has a nuclear arsenal. The testimony of a veteran engineer at the Dimona nuclear reactor settled the facts of the case easily and early in the 1987-88 trial. The engineer, called ``Giora'' in the transcript, was asked to look at a set of photographs Vanunu, a low-level technician at Dimona, secretly took inside the reactor and passed on to The Sunday Times of London. Based on the photographs, the Times wrote in 1986 that Israel had the world's sixth largest nuclear arsenal. ``Are the objects in the pictures objects that exist at the reactor?'' asked prosecutor Uzi Hasson. A succinct ``yes'' survived an otherwise censored answer. Would an expert understand what the objects mean? ``Of course,'' said Giora. In a tense exchange with Giora, defense attorney Avigdor Feldman asked him if he understood Vanunu's contention that ``Israel must not hide the fact of its nuclear weapons from its citizens.'' Giora retorted that it was better for Israel ``that this topic remains where it is today, or should I say, where it was before the Vanunu affair.'' Probing Vanunu's motives has become the transcript's mystery. Vanunu has not helped: he has refused to enter a plea. When a judge, swearing him in, asked him the year of his birth, he offered, ``My identity card says 1954.'' He became expansive only when asked to explain his attraction to a vague existentialism that he has said led him to reveal the operation of a nuclear weapons factory he found increasingly dangerous. ``What is `good' must be `good' for all of society,'' Vanunu said. He revealed a troubled upbringing - an estrangement from his religious parents, a solitary university existence. Pressed as to why he became attracted to student politics - a process that brought him into contact with peace activists and culminated in his decision to smuggle a camera into his workplace - he retreated again into his wry, oblique humor: ``Corruption in the cafeteria.'' His prickliness was his undoing when it led him to ignore warnings against a planned tryst with an attractive American woman, Cindy, he met in London. Peter Hounam, the Sunday Times journalist assigned to protect him, told the court that he was suspicious about Cindy and that he asked Vanunu not to go. Hounam's suspicions were prescient: Cindy was the Mossad agent who lured him into abduction from Rome to Israel. It was when Vanunu described his abduction - ordered by then-Prime Minister Shimon Peres - that he was at his most vulnerable. ``It was just awful. ... You're kidnapped, abducted, they could execute you,'' he said. Yet, by the time he landed on an Israeli beach, he was relaxed and harangued his escorts with no-nukes evangelism - and with his newly discovered belief in Christianity. The repeated references to Jesus on the pre-dawn drive from the beach to Ashkelon prison annoyed one of his interrogators, called ``Yehuda.'' Yehuda did not buy Vanunu's altruism, and was convinced that the Sunday Times had promised him $100,000 - Hounam's insistence to the contrary notwithstanding. ``I'm telling you, it was an act of treason by ... a person who is ready to sell everything, partly for money, partly for status, partly to ease frustrations and partly to decide that he is something,'' Yehuda said. By contrast, another interrogator found himself drawn to Vanunu. ``Everyone who dealt with him, even the jailers, established a bond with him,'' ``Alon'' recalled, and described how he took an interest in Vanunu's continuing education, bringing him books. Vanunu, sentenced to 18 years, disappeared into solitary confinement - where he stayed until 1998. He is now 45 and has five years left in his sentence. But his country has been unable to shake him. Peres testified that Norway temporarily suspended the sale to Israel of heavy water - which can be used in nuclear weapons production - and there was evidence that Arab states accelerated their nuclear programs. In Washington, members of Congress started asking hard questions. Eventually, Vanunu's greatest

STRATFOR.COM's Global Intelligence Update - December 6, 1999 By The Internet's Most Intelligent Source of International News Analysis http://www.stratfor.com/ _ WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR WORLD? U.S. Strives to Maintain Key Role in Persian Gulf http://www.stratfor.com/MEAF/specialreports/special24.htm Iranian Investment in Colombia Raises Suspicion http://www.stratfor.com/SERVICES/GIU/120299.ASP Is the United States Shifting Its Policy on Borders? http://www.stratfor.com/MEAF/commentary/m9912032330.htm __ STRATFOR.COM Global Intelligence Update December 6, 1999 Philippine President Decries Analysis Summary: A couple of weeks ago, Stratfor forecast that Philippine President Joseph Estrada might not finish out his term. This week, the forecast was reported in the Philippines and stirred a huge controversy: Estrada accused Stratfor of being allied with his enemies, the Filipino stock market dipped and politicians debated whether or not Estrada should go. Ultimately, our analysis was quite correct and we stand by it. But the Filipino debate gives us cause to examine our role in disseminating intelligence on the Internet. Normally, Stratfor doesn't talk about Stratfor; this week, we will. Analysis: Stratfor does not normally talk about itself. We are constantly deluged with e-mail demanding to know who we are, who funds us, what our qualifications are and what our hidden agenda is. We usually ignore these demands. First, we find the world infinitely more interesting and prefer to talk about it rather than ourselves. Second, we elect to let our product do our talking for us. Everything we've published remains on our web site permanently. We expect to be judged by our work, not our resumes. But we are nearing the end of the year and are preparing new forecasts for the upcoming year and decade. And as we move forward we have to consider our role in disseminating intelligence on the Internet. Normally, intelligence is secret. But as an open-source intelligence company, we publish our findings, day in and day out, on the World Wide Web, for all to see. The very act of doing so has recently put Stratfor in the midst of controversies, such as our work examining alleged atrocities in Kosovo [ http://www.stratfor.com/crisis/kosovo/genocide.htm ] and our recent series on Russia [ http://www.stratfor.com/CIS/countries/Russia/russia2000/default.htm ]. Just last week we were squarely in a very public controversy in the Philippines. What made the confrontation all the more strange was that while the country's press was filled with denunciations and defenses of our analysis, hardly anyone else in the world was aware that anything was going on. This leads us to reflect on two strange but real phenomena. First, there is the ability of organizations on the Internet to have unpredictable impact around the world. Second, there is the strange isolation in which such incidents take place. Let's begin at the beginning. Last month, Stratfor began receiving reports out of the Philippines about the possibility of a coup against President Joseph Estrada. Also, people outside the Philippines who were considering investing there wrote to us and asked if we knew anything about a potential coup. We put some people to work checking out the situation. After analyzing all sorts of information, we came to the conclusion that the probability of a military coup was extremely low. We did, however, find that the president's political position was deteriorating. We concluded that even without a coup, it was difficult to see how Estrada could survive politically until 2004, when his term expires. Since the constitution provided for the removal of the president and since the country is no stranger to extra-constitutional crises, we concluded that Estrada's days in office were numbered. The entire analysis can be found at [ http://www.stratfor.com/asia/specialreports/special98.htm ]. The report was quickly picked up by the Philippine press, some of which have rocky relations with the president. Several pro-Estrada companies and government entities had, for example, pulled their advertising from the Philippine Daily Inquirer during a prior controversy. On Nov. 19, Estrada met with the paper's owners and editors and on Nov. 22, the ad boycott was lifted. Stratfor's analysis of the Filipino situation was, coincidentally, published on Nov. 22. All seemed to be quieting down a bit. However, on Dec. 1, the Inquirer used the Stratfor piece to level a new blast at President Estrada, [ http://www.inquirer.net/issues/dec99/dec01/news/news_5.htm ]. It used Stratfor and its forecast to raise the possibility that the President would not serve out his full term. Instead of merely letting the matter drop, Estrada himself stoked the controversy. He initially brushed it all aside in a radio interview later in the day. However, later in the broadcast, as reporters

Scaife was behind these public information campaigns that accused Clinton of having affairs which obscured the really SERIOUS CRIMES of Clinton. Here was a Mellon heir with unlimited means who made allot of noise but only threw marshmallows at Clinton. His attacks on Clinton smelled allot like Rush Limbaugh's "attacks".

-Caveat Lector- Newsweek: National Security Agency Drafts 'Memoranda of Understanding' To Work With FBI in the U.S.; NEWSWEEK This is the cover for the December 13 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, December 6 ). Newsweek looks at last week's WTO meetings in Seattle and the new face of protests in the U.S. There are also reports on the Internet "Brain Drain" and its effects on main stream businesses, troubles at the National Security Agency behind the "techno-curve," rapper Jay Z's arrest after last week's stabbing of a record executive, Columbine principal speaks about his school's recovery from last spring's shooting rampage and the mystery surrounding the death of billionaire Edmond Safra. (PRNewsFoto)[KI] NEW YORK, NY USA 12/04/1999 May Be Falling Behind the Techno-Curve in Surveillance Techniques NEW YORK, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Security Agency is now drafting "memoranda of understanding" to clarify ways in which it can help the FBI track terrorists and criminals in the United States, territory in which it is generally off-limits, Newsweek has learned. The FBI, never known for its technical know-how, welcomes the help from the high-tech NSA, but some senators are uneasy about letting the NSA eavesdrop more in the United States, report Washington Correspondent Gregory Vistica and Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas in the current issue of Newsweek. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991204/HSSA003 ) While a secret court must approve any national-security wiretaps on U.S. citizens, there is still the risk of abuse. Under pressure to perform better, the NSA and CIA could overreach. Under the existing rules, the NSA and CIA are supposed to spy on foreign threats while the FBI tends to crime at home. But the Internet has blurred boundaries, and as the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 demonstrated, foreign terrorists have targeted the United States. But the NSA may be losing its grip on the technology front. "The agency has got to make some changes," because "by standing still, we are going to fall behind very quickly," concedes Air Force Lt. Gen. Mike Hayden, the new chief of the NSA, in an interview with Newsweek. The old tools, such as spy satellites and global-listening stations to pick up broadcast transmissions and massive computers to sort and decipher them, are relatively ineffective on the new Info Highway. The agency's problems have already been costly. The intelligence community's failure to predict that India would test a nuclear weapon in 1998 suggests that the NSA is becoming hard of hearing. Some intelligence experts speculate that Washington has had difficulty finding its most-wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, because Islamic extremists use European-made encrypted mobile phones, reports Newsweek in the December 13 issue (on newsstands Monday, December 6).

Then there is this latest article by I. M. Fatuous of Independant News Service: The President has desided to scrpa parts of the Constitution when visiting Chinese dignitaries displayed their chagrin at the "individual freedom" that was intended in the document. The Chinese stated that this freedom was tantamount to anarchy and did not allow for normal order and state control which are essential to the running of any good fascist police state. The President went on to apologize for having kept such provisions as freedom of speech for so long a time without considering the consequences. He went on to beg the Chinese for forgiveness. In related news the President has finally reached an unprecedented agreement with the Chinese which he characterized as "of immense importance to the United States and our National Security in the years to come". The Presidet authorized the Chinese Military to link up with our law enforcement agencies to root out "extremists, religious wackos, right wing commandos, freethinkers, intellectuals, or 'any one else having ideas contrary to that of the Central Party Apparat'", although not yet authorizing the use of deadly force in the apprehension of such groups the use of Non-Lethal weapons has been authorized. A spokesman has poo pooed the ideas expressed by some members of Congress, under requests to remain anonymous, that this represents no threat to American sovereinty and damages our security. The spokesman did admit that technically the Chinese WERE put IN CHARGE and that they have the power to make all law enforcement decisions, they have nonetheless agreed to abide by some restrictions that we have placed on them to satisfy some old fashioned members of the citizenry. He said he hoped that in the coming years such restrictions could be lifted and security for the US would be assured. . . . ** *** "Welcome to the desert of the real." Morpheus, "The Matrix".

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/#todnews Click Here: A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/#todnews"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Sex, Violence, and Money Secrets of Rockefeller Trust to be Revealed A notebook around her neck; lips around his. THE Rockefeller family, heir to what was once America's greatest fortune, is to have its closest secrets made public in a divorce case. Amy O'Neill, the daughter of one of President Reagan's closest aides, is accusing her husband, George O'Neill, of sexual perversion, violence and repeated adultery. In order to defend himself, Mr O'Neill, a great-grandson of John D Rockefeller Jr, the founder of Standard Oil and once the richest man in history, is expected to have to disclose the terms of his family's vast trust, kept secret from the public since they were laid down in 1934. The Rockefellers have produced businessmen, politicians, academics and philanthropists on a gigantic scale. They also have a reputation for eccentricity that will be reinforced by O'Neill v O'Neill. Mrs O'Neill has disclosed how psychologists were flown in to lecture the Rockefellers on coping with their inheritance emotionally. A sacred Indian stone, she says, was passed around and whoever held it had to explain their vision for the family and themselves. Mrs O'Neill, 32, has alleged that her husband had many affairs, including one with the local funeral director's wife. All the while, he was a committed activist in Right-wing Republican politics, advocating "family values". She has also accused him of violent behaviour, trying to get her to join in sexual threesomes and an unhealthy obsession with hard core pornography and guns. Now, in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, she has given a taste of what else might be aired in court if her husband does not comply with her financial demands. Mr O'Neill, 49, a failed sculptor and businessman who stands to inherit more than £120 million from his family trust, has denied having had any adulterous affairs. Within his circle, his wife is accused of being unstable, with a father who committed suicide and a brother who is schizophrenic. The couple have five children. No decisions have been reached in the past 18 months at the Florida court on custody and child support but a trial date has been fixed for March, so as not to coincide with the Rockefeller family's social season. Mrs O'Neill's mother, Faith Whittlesey, worked in President Reagan's White House and served two terms as American ambassador to Switzerland. She met Mr O'Neill through Republican contacts and introduced him to her daughter. The couple married when he was 38 and she was 22. Mrs O'Neill was immediately admitted to the family meetings at the vast Rockefeller estate north of New York, Pocantico, built by the oil baron for his children. She tells Vanity Fair: "We'd spend infinite amounts of time at these meetings discussing what it is to be a Rockefeller and what a tremendous burden it is." She says the family is depressed over the way computer tycoons have overtaken it on the rich lists. In 1992, Mr O'Neill campaigned for Pat Buchanan, the television pundit turned presidential candidate, admiring his conservative views on morality and the family. The couple, by this stage, were living in a dilapidated mansion on another heavily-guarded family estate in central Florida. As Mrs O'Neill sank into a depression, she claims that her husband's behaviour became increasingly erratic. She testified that he made her beg for housekeeping money and wear a notebook around her neck to record what she was doing. He said the notebook was her idea. She says she found him groping babysitters and once receiving oral sex from a local funeral director's wife. When he set up a company at home to republish children's classics, he employed a number of young women to work for him. His physical preference was for women with big breasts. Mrs O'Neill attempted suicide. She is asking for a lump sum payment of £480,000 ($775,000) to buy a house, a new "family van" every five years for her children, the children's education costs, wedding costs for her two young daughters and monthly alimony of £4,700 ($7,500). Mr O'Neill, who has not received his full share of the trust as his mother is still alive, says he cannot pay. His stubbornness is going down badly with his highly secretive family. In 1974, during confirmation hearings for Nelson Rockefeller, Mr O'Neill's uncle, to be Gerald Ford's Vice-President, many in the family told him they would rather he were not Vice-President than have to disclose his net worth.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.dragonsystems.com/products/audiomining/ Click Here: A HREF="http://www.dragonsystems.com/products/audiomining/"Drago n - Technology Announcement - AudioMining/A - AUDIOMINING New AudioMining Technology Uses Award-Winning Speech Recognition Engine to Quickly Capture and Index Information Contained in Recorded Video Footage, Radio Broadcasts, Telephone Conversations, Call Center Dialogues, Help Desk Recordings, and More New advanced technology to retrieve specified information contained in hours of recorded video footage, radio and television broadcasts, telephone conversations, call center dialogues, help desk recordings, and more, was demonstrated today by Dragon Systems, Inc. of Newton, Mass. The company previewed this technology at Demo '99, a leading, invitation-only, computer industry conference focused exclusively on emerging technologies and new products. The Dragon Systems AudioMining technology converts audio data into searchable text, which is easily accessible by keyword searching. This new capability which eliminates the need to listen to hours of recordings to find necessary information, can save time and increase productivity. It gives users immediate random access to recorded materials and enables them to access material using its speech content. Applications of this technology include: * LARGE TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTERS / HELP DESKS - A technical support manager who is responsible for providing feedback to the product development team could use this technology to search a database of recorded technical support calls, determine the issues that end users are contending with and advise engineering accordingly. * CALL CENTERS - A stockbroker or call center operator who records all phone calls to document customer orders and conversations can gain access to specific conversations to verify information concerning transactions. Marketing executives could also access customer requests and feedback from a company database. * BROADCAST MEDIA - A news editor at a television or radio station could search archives of recorded broadcasts to retrieve relevant information and clips pertinent to breaking news almost immediately. * CONFERENCE MANAGEMENT - A conference management organization that records proceedings, could use this technology to create an index of key topics for tapes of those sessions. This index should be printed to indicate tape number and time into the tape. If the material is on CD-ROM audio, the information would be directly accessible with the index. * LAW ENFORCEMENT / SECURITY - Police and security forces that need to search hours of recorded phone calls or radio transmissions can use this technology to quickly obtain critical information. "There are hundreds of thousands of hours of recorded speech from meetings to telephone calls in the hands of corporations today," said Dragon Systems Vice-President of North American Marketing Roger Matus. "These recordings contain nuggets of information that are invisible to companies. This new technology takes data that is invisible and makes it visible." The Dragon Systems AudioMining technology is built upon some of the same underlying speech technology used in Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the widely-acclaimed speech product that has garnered more than 70 industry awards worldwide and is the best selling speech retail product in the USA, according to PC Data (December 1998). The system employs this underlying technology to internally generate text lists that are indexed back to their location on the recorded media, as accurately as possible with untrained speech files, which are then searchable. Users will search these lists to retrieve information relevant to their current projects. This new capability supplements existing Dragon Systems solutions by taking advantage of the underlying technology to help end-users take advantage of speech recognition to improve productivity. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

[CTRL] Fwd: [Fwd: After Seattle by Canada's ambassador to the WTO]
Connie Fogal wrote: Report re WTO demo in Vancouver December 4,1999 and Summary of the views of Sergio Marchi, Canadas Ambassador to the WTO, in his description of The Way Forward After Seattle at a debriefing in Vancouver BC Canada on Saturday, December 4, 1999 after the WTO meeting in Seattle Despite only about 16 hours to organize, we created a respectable demonstration and met Sergio Marchi as he arrived at the WTO debriefing session in Vancouver before the Pacific Basin Economic Council. We were about 35 people outside which matched the about 35 people inside. It is inappropriate to refer to Mr Marchi as Canadas ambassador to the WTO. Read his comments in the full text of his presentation which I will distribute later, and you will see that he is really a WTO ambassador paid for by Canadian tax dollars. Never shown to be one who understood his duty to sovereignty or his nation, he now shows that his definition of ambassadorship is equally devoid of such loyalty. Closed shop: Although the word was that one could get in with a fee of $55.00 plus taxes, when a citizen tried it, he was told the session was full. When two octogenarian citizens of Canada attempted entry, they were told they were not allowed in, that the session was taking place on private property, that they would be removed with security personnel or police if they did not leave, and that neither the organizers, nor anyone else in the session inside including Ambassador Marchi wished to speak to them or hear from them. The octogenarians held their ground refusing to leave the hallway until the meeting adjourned to lunch via a different door which closed and at which were then posted two burly guards on each side. Fortunately, inside were at least four alternative media. I received copies of the audio of the full session. Below, I summarize the presentation of Sergio Marchi called The Way Forward after Seattle. I hope soon to transcribe and post both the Marchi presentation as well as the presentation of Canadas assistant deputy minister of Trade and Economic Policy, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Ottawa.. These presentations are very important. They speak to the leadership role Canada is playing in driving the global trade agenda . They also depict the very arrogance and betrayal attacked by the Defence of Canadian Liberty in its lawsuit against our Federal government re the MAI, which lawsuit will be back in court early in the new year. Of special note is the fact that the text released for use by the ministers at the Seattle WTO meetings (we are informed) is identical to the MAI. You have perhaps seen other e mail re this point. We are following this up. Summary of Marchis presentation: Canadas Minister of Trade, Pettigrew, and Minister of Agriculture, Van Clief, made a difference in Seattle by the leadership role they played in the two most difficult issues before the WTO- 1)the launching of negotiations on Agriculture and 2) the implementation of the global agenda by developing countries. The effort by both these ministers along with the efforts of the Canadian team of officials from Ottawa and Geneva was first class. I still very much believe in the mission of the WTO. The mission is a long journey with ups and downs. Seattle was only one of the downs on the long journey. There are two roads- one to Seattle, and one from Seattle. The Road TO Seattle: The challenges came from: 1. The document that the WTO secretariat gave to the ministers for the purposes of this ministerial.. It was too long, too divided on a number of crucial issues and too bracketed. Too many countries approached the process as if we were already pre-negotiating the negotiations in the text. This was a document to launch a round, not to negotiate deep into the trade forest. It was 32 pages long. 2. The lack of flexibility. There was too much advocacy for national positions. There was no give and take and compromise. National positions are fine at the front end, but what are you going to negotiate if you are going to hug your own goal post. 3.There were a few issues that were the first among equals that set the tone and the challenge. A) Agriculture. Canada , U.S. and a host of developing countries on one side who wanted a specific plan of action on agriculture, on export subsidies, on trade distorting measures, on the ability to treat agricultural products by rules like we treat other products by rules V.S. the Europeans, Japanese, Koreans who did not want to hear anything about that. Agriculture was one of the two mandated areas. The Latin American countries were saying to the Europeans for example, if you do not do a mandated negotiation on agriculture, how do you expect me to embrace a new issue called investment? So there was a division. B) Implementation. The developing countries were saying we did not get

Shadow Government of The United States and the Decline of America Government Opinion Keywords: SHADOW GOVERNMENT NWO Source: InfoKill Datafeed Published: November 12, 1998 Author: Unknown Posted on 10/01/1999 22:07:00 PDT by Uncle Bill Shadow Government of the United States and the Decline of America In spite of the difficulties facing America, there is still no other place I would rather live; however, our nation is at a crossroads, not unlike the difficulties faced by our forefathers. Many of the same conditions that prompted the Declaration of Independence prevail in America today. Of the indictments against the King of Great Britain, our Founders declared: "He has erected a Multitude of new offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People and eat out their Substance." There are literally hundreds of thousands of government employees administering various regulatory agencies with budgets in the billions of dollars. Regulatory compliance alone exceeds $460 billion annually. Our Founders, opposed to "taxation without representation," also declared that the King was: "...imposing Taxes on us without our Consent." Yet, taxation with representation now sees the average American working through May to meet his or her yearly local, state, and federal tax obligations. Commenting on debt, Benjamin Franklin warned: "The burden of debt is as destructive to freedom as subjugation by conquest." Our legislators have not balanced the federal budget since 1969, and the national debt has, since 1980, quadrupled to over $5 trillion. Its monthly interest costs now exceed the yearly interest costs of just twenty years ago. The Declaration of Independence states: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." Our second President, John Adams, said: "You have Rights antecedent to all earthly governments; Rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; Rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe." Our Rights come from God. Why, then, are we reminded that our Rights come from the state (civil rights)? What the state gives, it can take away. We frequently hear our nation referred to as a democracy, yet the word is not found in the Constitution. Rather, we see in Article 1, Section 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government," The Pledge of Allegiance contains: "...and to the Republic, for which it stands..." Commenting on our form of government, Chief Justice John Marshall stated: "Between a republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos." The Soldiers Training Manual, issued November 30, 1928 gives the following definitions: "TM 2000-25: 118-120, democracy - A government of the masses. Authority is derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic, negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the people shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation, or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, and anarchy." "TM2000-25: 120-121, republic - Authority is derived through election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them. Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure. Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles, and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences. A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass. Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress." 1 Corinthians 7:23 says: "You were bought at a price; do not becomes slaves of men." It was upon this premise that our Founders drafted the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. At the Constitutional Convention (1787), Benjamin Franklin declared: "We have been assured...in the Sacred

Furthermore, since Eisenhower, every man who has won the nomination for either party (except Goldwater in 1964 and Reagan in 1980) has been a member of the CFR: DEMOCRATS 1. John W. Davis(1924) 2. Adlai Stevenson (1952,56) 3. John F. Kennedy (196b) 4. Hubert Humphrey (1968) 5. George McGovern (1972) 6. Jimmy Carter (1976,80) 7. Walter Mondale (1984) 8. Michael Dukakis (1988) 9. Bill Clinton (1992) REPUBLICANS 1. Herbert Hoover (1928,32) 2. Wendell Wilkie (1940) 3. Thomas Dewey (1944,48) 4. Dwight Eisenhower (1952,56) 5. Richard Nixon (1960,68,72) 6. Gerald Ford (1976) 7. George Bush (1988,92) (who was also a director of the CFR 1977-1979) An important point must be stressed: By controlling the candidates we vote for, the CFR is assured their goal of world government. Why? Because CFR presidents fill key positions with CFR members by APPOINTMENT. (List of 110 Nixon appts. can be found in "None Dare Call it Conspiracy, by Gary Allen, 1972; available from General Birch Services, P.O. Box 8040, Appleton, Wis. 54913) Since 1973, Tri Lat members have also filled key positions. One of the first members of the Tri Lat was Jimmy Carter, whose administration had 19 Tri Lateralists including: 1. Vice President Mondale 2. Secretary of State Vance 3. Secretary of the Treasury Blumenthal 4. Secretary of Defense Brown 5. National Security Advisor Bzrezinski These five positions made up the National Security Council, and were held by members of an organization which advocates world government - was their oath of office to uphold the Constitution a mere formality? Others included: 1) nearly all of the undersecretaries of State; 2) nearly all of the undersecretaries of Treasurer; 3) the Panama Canal Treaty negotiator; 4) the Salt Treaty negotiator; 5) the Ambassador to the U.N. Andrew Young; and 6) the Ambassador to Italy, Richard Gardner (remember, the Israel Moses Sief Banks of Italy are top stockholders in the Fed, and Gardner advocated an "...end run around our national Sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece.") An article about Bzrezinski(Carter's National Security Advisor, executive director of the Tri Lat, and author of "Between Two Ages") and Carter appeared in the March 1, 1978 New York Times: "The two men met for the first time about four years ago, when Mr. Bzrezinski was the executive director of the Tri Lateral Commission, and had the foresight to ask the then obscure governor of Georgia to join its ranks. Their initial teacher-student relationship blossomed during the campaign and appears to have grown closer still." Bzrezinski(teacher)praises Marxism, thinks the U.S. is in obsolescence, and advocates a world government; the student was the President of the United States! Another article, written by CFR past president Winston Lord, appeared in the August 4-ll, 1978 issue of "W" magazine. He boasted: "The Tri Lateral Commission doesn't secretly run the world, the Council of Foreign Relations does that." Winston Lord is currently the Assistant Secretary for East Asian/Pacific Affairs (State Dept.) and special envoy to Red China. Contrary to candidate Clinton's "stand" on human rights, Red China has recently received an unconditional MFN trade status with the U.S.; never mind that over 10,000 Chinese dissidents have been murdered since Tianemen Square. The CFR domination of just the last three Administrations reveals: 1. 347 under Reagan; 2. 382 under Bush, and 3. 387 under Clinton (over 1 in 8 of their total membership) The following CFR members hold top positions in our current Administration: 1. President Bill Clinton 2. Vice President Al Gore 3. Secretary of State Warren Christopher 4. Deputy Secretary of State Clifton R. Wharton 5. CIA Director R. James Woolsey 6. National Security Advisor W. Anthony Lake 7. Deputy National Security Advisor Samuel R. Berger 8. Secretary of Defense Les Aspen 9. Chrmn., Intel. Adv. Bd. William J. Crowe 10. U.N. Ambassador Madeleine Albright 11. Sec. H. H.S. Donna E. Shalala 12. OMB Alice M. Rivlin 13. Secretary H.U.D. Henry G. Cisneros 14. Chrmn., Council Ec. Advisors Laura D. Tyson 15. Secretary of the Treasury Lloyd M. Bentsen (former CFR) 16. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt 17. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg There are 370 others as well. Have you ever wondered why, since WWII, U.S. foreign policy has allowed Communist expansion? Consider the roles of the following CFR members since WWII: 1. George Marshall and Dean Acheson engineered the betrayal of Chiang Kai-shek, allowing communist takeover of China; 2. Dean Acheson and Dean Rusk arranged the no-win undeclared war in Korea and the removal of General McArthur; 3. John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles,

"In 1991, the company sold about 400,000 printed sets, and in 1997 about 10,000. (Tellingly, my source for this information is a quotation from the Managing Director of EB International, only available to subscribers to a for-fee service, A HREF="http://www.ecommercetoday.com.au/" E-Commerce Today /A). The collapse was triggered by the success of Microsoft Encarta and other CD-ROM versions of lower-quality but approximately equivalent collections sold in a convenient and inexpensive form. Since then, Web-based information services have mushroomed. Despite its brand reputation, and the apparent quality and presumed value of the content the company owned, and even after scrambling to survive, revenue has halved, losses have accumulated, the company has changed hands several times, and survival remains uncertain (Rayport Gerace, 1997, Evans Wurster, 1997, A HREF="http://www.businessweek.com/1997/42/b3549124.htm"Melcher, 1997;/A Downes Mui, 1998, p.51; Shapiro Varian, 1999, pp. 19-21, 26). "In late October 1999, as this paper 'went to press' (as we once used to say), EB announced that they had abandoned their longstanding business model of fee-for-personal-copy, and were now publishing via the Web on the public Internet, in the hope of garnering sufficient advertising revenue to survive." I notice they currently have a nice online section on 1960's psychedelia. Must be the Austin Powers (Britannic) influence.

An ancient belief that finds it's roots from many cultures thoughout many lands. It is a thought that grows as awareness takes hold of our passed knowledge, long forgotten, but finding avenues of remembrance though New Age and Modern thought as well as the ancient wisdom of native cultures. It is of my mind to bring a perspective of where 'Mankind' will be going when the merging and passing through onto the next level of higher consciousness comes to pass. My thoughts unite together the spiritual and physical realms of existence, tying these to dimensionality, as well as the consciousness from a host of sentient beings. Bringing in a multitude of levels of the various perspectives to reality; which from our point of view includes the 'group consciousness' of humanity. These articles will take into account new insights of quantum physics as it relates to our changing and often chaotic existence from novel and I believe challenging thoughts to the nature of existence. The first of my articles dealing with this subject matter is "Slipping Through A Time Zone-It's Not Just A Song Lyric Anymore". Hopefully, you will find these articles instructive and useful for the coming times ahead. Please read on. = Page 2 The Shift-Reaching the OMEGA POINT The Birth Of A Star-200,000 light years from our Earth, from a nearby galaxy [photo/Hubble Telescope] In "Slipping Through A Time Zone-It's Not Just A Song Lyric Anymore"; the first of my articles dealing with this topic; I state that though what I first thought as a phenomenon I referred to as the 'red shift' had turned out to be a likely problem with my camcorder, I still held the belief that strong electro- magnetic fields under the right conditions could cause openings to other parallel worlds. I gave examples of stories of witnesses, claiming to have been caught up in some kind of alternate existence to other dimensions. I told of how certain people I've spoken with had visually witnessed a "redden" effect to their surroundings under strange conditions, where a slowing down of time appeared to be a factor. Often, a flash of light or a brigthen up of the area would occur, which is exactly what occurred with my video right before getting the 'red shift' in the rainforest. In Dolores Cannon's new book, "The Custodians" , she states that during one of her hypnosis sessions a supposedly highly evolved entity had spoken through a client in an hypnotic state. This entity stated when you go from one dimension to another the opening that occurs causes a flash or brighting of the immediate area, that can often be detected by those involved, interesting. Other researchers have stated witnesses to UFO sightings often hear a buzzing-like sound right before viewing the UFO. Some claim this is the sound that UFOs can make as they are phasing in or out of our dimension. It is curious to note that not long before getting the red shift on my walk through the rainforest, I heard what sounded like a large swan of bees very close, yet I could not detect anything out of the ordinary at the time. In addition, some videos where UFO's appear to phase in and out of our dimension show a 'reddish' glow around their exteriors; for example, some of the UFO video over Mexico City. Could this be a generated electro-magnetic field causing the UFO to alternate between dimensions, visually showing a shifting to the red end of the spectrum, as some suppose? I surmise if you could visually capture a 'electro-magnetic' field on a camcorder, you could quite possibly see a reddish color very similar to the accidental filming of the 'special effect' mode from my camcorder. Though this was probably not a phenomenon as I originally suspected, it does fit in with some of my other findings which lends support of what a 'shift' could look like, if captured on video. So after some consideration I decided to keep the 'red shift' video clips as simulations of "what if ?". Food for thought, if nothing else. I stated El Yunque rainforest was connected to missing Navy Seals and their recovery operation. [ I provided dramatic video footage of the rescue that can be opened on the last page of that article.] I had proposed a theory that the navy seals may have been caught in a vortex or portal to an alternate dimension due to electro-magnetic disturbances, which could have been active in the area of their movements during that time period. I went to great length as to why I thought this was the case and how other possible votexes at various locations on the island played into this overall theory. I stated that

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.mirrorsedge.com/attop6.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.mirrorsedge.com/attop6.htm"attop6/A - What are these signs we should be looking for with the coming Shift? The ancients thought this coming time important enough to refer to it as the "Shift Of The Ages" and the Bible as the "Rapture". These are pretty heavy words and from this we should take the ancients meant the signs would be powerful and undeniable clear. And these signs around us now, what a growing number of people are realizing as these prophecies being fulfilled, are the indication to the 'beginning of the end'. And with this is the focus of my article, where the word for end is Omega, the last letter in the Greek alphabet. So therefore, the title of my article " Awakening To The Omega Point". But this point in space-time is also the beginning point to a new circle of a new reality; an unending and ongoing process. Seeing this as the finale to an old way of perceiving reality, leading to an awareness of a new and higher purpose in the evolution of 'consciousness'. In his book "Awakening To Zero Point: The Collective Initiation" by Gregg Braden, Gregg speaks of the Shift and the events now occurring in our solar system, our planet and even within each cell of our bodies. That all these events are interrelated and leading to a completion of a cycle that began nearly 200,000 years ago. He states that the last time this planet went through a total 180 degree magnetic reversal was from 11,000 to 13,000 years ago. If this information is correct, it falls within the range of the 13,000 year cycle the government agent spoke of. This being the time frame of global warming and massive flooding as mentioned earlier. It appears more than coincidental of all these independent verifications homing in on this same time frame of a 13,000 year cycle. Even on the outside chance this agent was giving false information, taking into account these others sources, it still does not answer for these signs before us. It is these signs of our impending shift, the warning signal to the amazing times ahead, that truly give validity to his statements. Though Gregg, in my opinion, was pretty much on the mark and his book is well worth reading, I feel his conclusion on the Shift is still an effect and not the cause. I thought him somewhat vague on what he truly believed the cause of the Shift was, but it is understandable considering the circumstances . It is far from apparent that the cause of this phenomenon is a 'naked singularity'. And most of us, myself included, could not be aware of this without inside information and influence from 'those in the know'. Even though I had a vague feeling of Earth coming into a kind of merging of dimensions, it was not till I received independent verification of a supposed authority figure that I truly took it seriously. It has taken me nearly five years to check this information out, go over the data and make connections to see if it made any kind of sense. Though I have been unable to find anyone in authority up to this present time to confirm what this agent confessed to, I believe from the data I have been able to collect so far, gives strong support to his admission. Please read on and judge for yourselves. In 1961 an astronomer by the name of Robert Stanley began to detect an increase in photons bombarding our planet, where these photons have been steadily increasing ever since. Researchers are now aware we are going through a region of space containing what is referred to as the Photon Belt around every 25,000 years. Gregg states from his book he believes this is what the ancients refer to as 'The Shift of the Ages". He contends this is a natural and positive occurrence. I concur this might be a natural cycle but disagree that it is the cause of the Shift based on several reasons. To begin with the Photon Belt would be an electro-magnetic field that could cause a disruption in the Earth's magnetic field, but it would not be the cause of Earth slowly losing this field or the fact our planet is spinning down on it's axis. Case in point, scientists are aware that the faster the Earth rotates the greater the magnetic field and the slower it rotates the weaker the field becomes. The planet is presently in a cycle of slowing down the spin of it's axis where magnetic lines are behaving much as a spinning 'child's top'. You may be aware that after a initial force is applied to a child's top, causing it to spin and generate this field, the opposite field of gravity is equally being applied to the top, where friction is the effect of gravity, thus causing the top to lose it's spin. As the top begins to slow down, it increasingly makes wild dips from the center of it's axis due to the unevenness of the fields involved. And this is exactly what we are seeing happening now on our planet. Earth is experiencing large magnetic fluxes from the center of it's axis outward towards the magnetic north

-Caveat Lector- from; http://www.mirrorsedge.com/attop9.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.mirrorsedge.com/attop9.htm"attop9/A - Page 9 What should we make of these predictions stated in this supposed '3rd Letter Of Fatima'? It appears to me to be mostly prophesies of "gloom and doom". Not much of a prospect to survival with only a 1 in 3 chance of making it. For me it appears more like the God of the Old Testament, than the loving God that Jesus speaks of in the New Testament. The God that Jesus speaks of is loving and forgiving and does not punish us with fire and brimstone. He attempt's to spirituality enlighten us from the examples of His Son and through understanding via way of higher awareness in ourselves! I am sorry to disappoint those of you that believe the One True God is vengeful, feeling the need to punish the so called wicked among us. And how is it determined who is wicked in God eyes? Is it anyone who disagrees with your beliefs, who thinks differently where you feel somehow threaten by? Is it more of what you believe and have been taught, your views and thinking as how God see evil. Remember that our earthly life is for learning how polarity plays out among our own kind. Polarity is the continuous movement of positive and negative energy and the interaction with it. What we view as 'good verses evil' is a rigid and narrow perspective of a higher understanding of how positive and negative forces work to balance themselves out for greater awareness. It's easy to generalize on something you do not understand and so therefore 'fear'. Fear is one of the two greatest weapons the negative forces have at their disposal, the other is ignorance. Ignorance breeds fear and the fear perpetuates the ignorance, an unending cycle of confusion and chaos. If we are to obtain the higher frequencies necessary for this Shift, we must break this cycle in negative energy of fear, hate and the blind following of others. With this being said, lets turn our attention to these predictions of these trouble times ahead. I want to make myself totally clear here on my view of this 3rd Letter of Fatima. There are a couple of questions that need to be raised. First, assuming that the letter is real, is the report an interpretation of what the letter says or is it direct quotes from the letter, itself. It is a little vague on this and if it is interpretations rather than the letter itself, it is slanted by the bias of the one who wrote it and not a true representation. On the other hand if it is the true letter and was written down as given, than it is another story entirely. In this case, I personally find it hard to conceive of the One True God of Abraham, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and all the other great spiritual leaders of the ancient world wanting to be avengeful, destroying what He created and truly loves. My feeling is that God is above this petty negativity of Man and lower sentient beings. God knows that we must understand and expertiment with positive and negative energies on the path of enlightenment to the Source, the Supreme Being. And like any child learning lessons of understanding from his parents, the purpose of a parent's goal or in this case, God's plan, is to grow in knowledge and wisdom. And like any loving parent, the purpose of God's actions, are to teach and not to destroy as the various negative forces would like you to believe. These negative beings want you to fear God, not love Him. They know if they can get you to fear God's so called 'wrath' than they can control you and feed you lies. Thus keeping you from knowing the true intent of God for His creation. By keeping us ignorant through the fear of God's supposed punishment of what these negative beings deem as evil or wicked, they hinder our spiritual attainments. They pretend to be our gods, disgusing themselves as the One True God of us all, creating a negative energy flux of worship and adornment. Because of their superior technology they have been able to fool us through the ages into believing that they are the One True God, to be feared and worship. The infinite wisdom of the Universal Father does not need or desire our worship or the begging of forgiveness for our sins. The all-knowning and infinitely good Father truly desires us all to give Him our unconditional love. To have love and respect for the greater Whole through understanding of It's parts and for the gradually comprehension of His "Grand Plan" through work's of the Supreme Being. Because of my feelings of the Universal Father, with the Trinity of the Eternal Son and Holy Spirit, I can not accept the conclusion of the 3rd Letter as stated. It is of my opinion that this letter, as presented in this report, is a ploy set up by certain factions of negative aliens and/or their counterpoints here on Earth, playing on our religious beliefs and convictions to distort the real meaning of the Shift! I am sorry for those that believe that Mother Mary appeared at Fatima

Perhaps now you can see the power of sympathy for the afflicted ones around the globe. This supports the victim consciousness that is required, for it is complicity in disguise. Do you not consider them victims of war or natural disaster or poverty? You must take a deep breath, accept your part in bringing support to their victimhood. They too have responsibility in the creation of those situations. Your sympathy will not solve their misery. Your deliberate choice to create a new paradigm of expericne will do that. Withdrawing your focus of attention and bringing it toward creating a new experience will bring the change about far more quickly than repeatedly sending aid while considering them as poor victims. Does that sound hard hearted? From our point of view, it is hard hearted to be part of the creation of these horrendous situations in the first place. You must deliberately choose to implement your desire to create a whole new experience for them as well as yourselves. When you choose to place your intent beyond the play perceived by the 5 senses, and place it instead into the creation of a new experience, you are withdrawingf your consent and support of the experience in which you no longer wish to participate. You are using the second Law of the Universe. These are the two Laws that apply to the situation. (NOTE:First was Law of Attraction) There are yet two more and those shall be brought to bear within this information, as it is appropriate.

[CTRL] World revolutionaries gather for summit against neo-liberalism
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave INDEPENDENT (London) 6 December 1999 World revolutionaries gather for their summit By Nicole Veash in Sao Paulo Guerrilla groups from across the Americas will today descend on an Amazonian jungle town to swap tips on winning the revolutionary struggle. Left-wing terrorist groups are to join with street demonstrators fresh from battle in Seattle, in a corporate-style convention to discuss the path to power. More than 2,500 delegates, including the notorious Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the Mexican Zapatistas, the guerrilla group championing Indian rights, and the Black Panthers are gathering in Brazil for the five-day conference of revolutionaries, called the "Humanities against Neo-Liberalism" summit. Manoel Lima Amarel, event co-ordinator, said: "We are very pleased that so many minority groups are joining together in Brazil to discuss their causes. It is important for all oppressed Americans to support each other and to work as one." Conference organisers chose the city of Belem - situated on the banks of the Amazon - because of its historical significance. In 1835, it was the site of a failed uprising by native Indians who were protesting against the slave trade."Having this conference in Belem reminds us how little has changed in the past 160 years," said Mr Amarel. Despite the presence of known paramilitary groups, the Belem civil police have not objected to the gathering, although they will be listening out for "inflammatory talk". Conference organisers have banned delegates from exchanging techniques on guerrilla warfare. Mr Amarel said: "This summit is not about violence It's about ideology. There are other ways to destroy the chains of capitalism without resorting to aggression." DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Scientology Company Linked to Windows 2000?
-Caveat Lector- Resource Center for Freedom of Mind Confidential Mailing List - http://www.freedomofmind.com Scientology Company Linked to Windows 2000? Source: http://www.heise.de/ct/english/99/25/058/ Windows 2000 in Danger of being Banned Scientology participation Criticized by Church Representatives An integrated component of Windows 2000 is made by a Scientology company. The connection between the psycho sect and the software giant is annoying representatives of the major churches in Germany. Microsoft risks a boycott of its flagship product by churches and government agencies. Windows 2000, the successor of Windows NT shipping in February, contains a defragmentation program called Diskeeper. The manufacturer is the company Executive Software Inc. (http://www.execsoft.com/) of the professed scientologist Craig Jensen. Founded in 1981 the enterprise offers defragmentation and data storage tools to "enhance the speed and performance of Microsoft Windows NT". Executive chief Jensen himself shares his biography on his homepage. According to that he has been a member of the organization calling itself church since 1974 and supposedly transformed his company from a "one-man show to a flourishing multi-million Dollar corporation" with the help of the scripts of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Jensen also climbed the corporate ladder at Scientology: He is an operating Thetan at level VIII (OT VIII), the highest level scientologists can achieve currently. In 1992 the Californian company opened an office in Hamburg. Staff was hired according to the following criteria: "Fully trained scientologists, computer skills desirable but not a prerequisite". By integrating the Executive product into Windows 2000 Microsoft created a situation that at least a few large potential customers see as a serious problem. A employee of the German catholic church who did not want his name mentioned told c't that the origin of the software is "highly disturbing". It is "a genius move" of the Scientology organization if soon such a program that has direct and active access to all data is working principally on every company desk and in government and church institutions as an integrated part of a widely used operating system. Espionage suspected The underlying reason for these kinds of worries is the philosophy of the Scientology umbrella organization WISE, Executive being a member of the latter. WISE stands for World Institute of Scientology Enterprises and forms the "most important money-generating apparatus of the psycho sect" according to the German news magazine Focus. Up to 15 percent of the revenues are paid to Scientology. The participating companies are "exclusively managed with LRH technology" describes WISE itself; LRH are the initials of Hubbard. Guideline 1 of WISE says to "utilize the administrative technology in every business of the world". WISE further demands: "Conquer the key positions, the position [...] as companies' director of human resources, [...] as secretary of the director, [...]. The manufacturing plants, the trade centers, the counties, these are the places where we want trained scientologists." At the end of August the Bavarian secretary of state Hermann Regensburger pointed out that Scientology wants to extend the administration technologies in its enterprises, resulting in a total control of the employees, to government and society as well. Scientology engages espionage to systematically gather information about enemies and uses psychological intimidation. For this the organization is operating its own secret service called Office for Special Affairs (OSA). In almost every German province the Scientology organization is under observation of the department for protection of the constitution. This year's constitution protection report of the province of Baden-Württemberg says that Scientology gathered information about federal and state politicians. Six years ago Scientology hired a private detective agency for a member of the German parliament belonging to the CDU (Christian Democratic Union, one of the major political parties in Germany) who had publicly criticized the organization in a discussion on broadcast television. Four weeks later his personal life was investigated intensely and the results were sent to the Scientology secret service in Munich. According to the Stuttgarter Nachrichten (German newspaper) strictly confidential material of the State Department ended up in the OSA headquarter in Los Angeles. At the end of 1997 the Foreign Office had created an internal strategy paper that investigated "Scientology Under the Aspect of German-American Relations". The State Department brought in the Federal Intelligence Agency to identify the mole. So far without any success. No subject for Microsoft Data protection and security officials who looked into the subject are concerned that of all enterprises the software of a Scientology company would have access to all data under
[CTRL] FATHER OF LIES - Nitro News - Uri Dowbenko
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.nitronews.com/dowbenko.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.nitronews.com/dowbenko.html"Nitro News - Uri Dowbenko/A - FATHER OF LIES A BOOK REVIEW By Uri Dowbenko Media Columnist [EMAIL PROTECTED] What can you say about a dead white guy whose own wife called him "The Shark"? Yes, Allen Dulles was a lawyer. He worked for the powerful illuminati law firm Sullivan Cromwell, whose clients included multinational corporations as well as foreign governments, and whose big money deals shaped the destiny of the planet. In a high profile career which spanned two World Wars as well as the Cold War, Dulles was also a director of the Central Intelligence Agency and a director of the Council on Foreign Relations. Most importantly, Dulles was a moral, intellectual and physical cripple. His philandering was notorious. His acquiescence to the wishes of his masters - the Anglo-American Establishment - is a matter of historical record. And ironically, he also had a club foot, like Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the director of the CIA's Technical Services Division, responsible for the Agency's diabolical mind control programs. James Srodes, author of Allen Dulles: Master of Spies, has produced a sanitized whitewash of a biography, completely avoiding Dulles's culpability in his many heinous crimes against humanity. During Dulles's tenure, after all, the CIA continuously used people as involuntary human guinea pigs. In their hubris, the arrogant spymasters believed they were accountable to no one, the lives of their victims mere Olympian playthings. This dysfunctional mindset of the power elite is the psychopathology of Dulles himself and many others who consider themselves the movers and shakers of the twentieth century. Nazis Bankrolled By Wall Street With blithe disregard, Srodes downplays the importance of the collusion between Big Business and Big Government, writing, "there is little doubt that a close relationship between the State Department and the senior partners of Sullivan Cromwell suited all the parties well... Questions of conflicts of interest rarely arose in a time when the interests of commerce and government were so closely allied." Closely allied? That's Srodes oh-so-quaint way of saying that the Old Boys Club infested the highest levels of government as well as business. Most bothersome, however, is Srodes's dedicated ignorance of the build-up of the Nazi War Machine by Wall Street investment bankers. For instance, in dealing with the Schroeder bank's involvement with financing Hitler, Srodes is disingenous at best. He claims that it was a "different" Schroeder bank because of the different spelling of the surname, even though the name was anglicized in its British incarnation. "There never was any proof that Sullivan or Cromwell or the Dulles Brothers of the London Schroeder Bank ever had ties to or dealings with von Schroeder," huffs Srodes. Srodes's disinformational biography disregards well known facts recounted in former Hoover Institution scholar Antony C. Sutton's landmark history, Wall Street And The Rise Of Hitler. "Who was Schroeder?" asks Sutton in his book. "Baron Kurt von Schroeder was born in Hamburg in 1889 into an old established German banking family. An earlier member of the Schroeder family moved to London, changed his name to Schroder (without the dierisis) and organized the banking firm of J. Henry Schroder in London and J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation in New York." In his well-documented story of the American financiers who provided the money and material Hitler used to launch World War II, Dr. Sutton recounts how Nazi Baron Kurt von Schroeder "acted as a conduit for I.T.T. money funneled to Heinrich Himmler's S.S. organization in 1944, while World War II was in progress and the United States was at war with Germany." Furthermore, in recent correspondence with this author, Dr. Sutton writes that "New York was so determined to conceal the WWII links that a vice president of New York Schroeder Bank (Bogdan) was put in uniform and sent to Germany to grab the [incriminating] paperwork before US troops even reached Cologne." The American subsidiary of the notorious Nazi firm I.G. Farben, called American I.G., was under the control of an American citizen named Halbach, nominally a consultant to the firm. When his bank accounts were blocked after Pearl Harbor, Sutton writes, "Halbach filed suit against the Alien Property Custodian through the Establishment law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell to oust the US Government from its control of I.G. Farben companies. These suits were unsuccessful, but Halbach was successful in keeping the Farben cartel agreements intact through World War II." "This tells me someone even today wants to keep history concealed," says Sutton. "The work of the Control Commission for Germany would be a very productive research project."

[CTRL] Windows Security under fire
-Caveat Lector- Windows Security under fire In on extraordinary ABC News feature on 3 September, 1999 it was alleged that every version of Windows 98 and Windows NT contains a special programme to encrypt sensitive data, from e-mails and documents to e-commerce transactions over the Internet. The programme is called the cryptoAPI, and it uses an encryption key, managed by Microsoft Corporation, to lock and unlock the sensitive data stored on a computer and sent across the Internet, Instead of having each application do the number crunching, Windows essentially does it instead, But there's not just one key - there ore two, In on analysis published on the Internet, the head of a Canadian security firm, Cryptonym, claims that the two keys have existed within Windows since the later versions of Windows 95. He adds that the second key is labelled 'NSAKEY' within the latest service pack for Windows NT 4,0, the Windows operating system widely used in servers and corporate work-stations. Some analysts hove speculated that the first three letters - NSA - could stand for America's super secret National Security Agency; an intelligence organisation charged with cracking codes and encryption schemes. "We've never known what the second key was for," Cryptonym founder Andrew Fernandes told ABC News, "but it's certainly possible that it's for low enforcement or espionage purposes," How Windows Crypto Works Encryption is used to encode e-mail messages, documents and Internet transactions, In the case of computers, the code con consist of dozens, or hundreds, of ones and zeros. The lowest government-approved encryption standard, a code 56 digits long, took 22 hours to break. The cryptoAPI essentially lets software developers write programmes that simply plug into Microsoft's encryption scheme, instead of having to write their own. Microsoft manages the keys, and can provide access to the data or transactions at the request of the user, or a duly authorised third-party, In the case of corporate users, other people within the corporation could have access to the key as well. But that still didn't answer the question: why two keys? Federal Government Want 'Backdoor' Key The U.S. Commerce Department has maintained strict controls on the export of strong encryption software. U.S. companies con export these overseas - provided the U.S. government receives a key to that encryption. In 1997 U.S. companies were given two years to change their policies to comply. The government's key is often called the 'backdoor' key, It's unclear whether the cryptoAPI foils under the Commerce Department regulations, but when it comes to APIs, Microsoft does not change its encryption schemes to account for the lows in different nations. Thus, the two-key scheme isn't just on computers overseas, but also on machines running in the United States. "Talk of NSA involvement aside, one could say that Microsoft has complied with these regulations, and is including two keys," says Peter Tippett, chairman of ICSA Incorporated, a Reston, Virginia, based security consulting firm. Who Has the Second Key? Meanwhile, Fernandes says he's come up with c way to change the second key into anything else the user wants. If he or she wants strong, 256-bit encryption, it can be installed in place of 'NSAKEY.' This means that virus programmes or hacking exploits con be written to change the key without the users' knowledge. Thus, if users do not maintain 'safe computing' practices, they could very well find their strong encryption replaced with no encryption at all, exposing their data to anyone interested in it. Microsoft and the NSA did not immediately answer repeated requests by ABC News for comment, but Russ Cooper, a Windows NT security expert and editor of the Web site NTBugTraq, has reported that the NSA insisted that Microsoft include the second key, though that could not be independently confirmed. And then there's the trust issue, "Microsoft has not been forthcoming on this issue," Fernandes claimed. "If I don't know anything about this second key, how the hell do I know what else Microsoft has stuck in their code? We've never known what the second key was for, but it's certainly possible that it's for low enforcement or espionage purposes. "By adding the NSA's key, they have mode it easier - not easy, but easier - for the NSA to install security components on your computer without your authorisation or approval," Fernandes said. Microsoft Refutes Windows 'Spy Key' Allegations Within 24-hours of the ABC News story, Microsoft vehemently denied allegations by Fernandes that its Windows platform contains a backdoor designed to give the NSA access to personal computers and that the agency has anything to do with the key. "The key is a Microsoft key - it is not shared with any party including the NSA," said Windows NT security product manager Scott Culp, "We don't leave back-doors in any products." Culp said the key was added to
[CTRL] Fwd: tortured by police in Seattle - two reports
-Caveat Lector- A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C E http://www.ainfos.ca/ 1) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Rabble Rousers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fwd: Wobbly tortured by police (fwd) Date: Sat, 4 Dec 1999 17:57:45 -0800 (PST) __ Fellow Workers, I just caught up with a FW from Olympia today, Thursday, December 2nd. I did not get a chance to talk with her for very long, but she was visably shaken. She is very concerned about her anonyminity at this point. I will call her FW Marie. FW Marie was one of the first people arrested here in Seattle. Her and her partner were arrested by themselves. Keeping with the tactic of non-compliance, they refused to surrender any information to the police. This tactic is used to block up the system and promote widespread solidarity within jail. To break FW Marie down, the Seattle Police Department strapped her to a chair and beat her. They kicked her while lying prone on the floor. These officers isolated the two from each other and while alone in her cell, they threatened to strip her naked and periodically would unbuckle the harness she was wearing intimidating her with the threat of gang rape. She continued to refuse to give any information even as being peppersprayed. Another group of people was brought in and the FW Marie and her partner were integrated with this new group. This new group did not know anything about jail solidarity and gave the police all the information they asked for. When FW Marie and her partner began coaching the new arrestees on jail Solidarity, they were again thrown in isolation and beaten. They were left in solitary for 18 hours. When the entire group was brought before the court, it was found that FW Marie and her partner were not registered in the jail. There were no records of their arrest nor any official documentation of their presence. Using this disappearing act, similar of Chile, Argentina and Brasil, the only people who knew of their presence, were the police officers conducting the torture. She and her partner were immediately released into the downtown region of Seattle, traumatized and in the middle of a riot. FW Marie made her way back to the Direct Action Network HQ and was safe as of 9 am Thursday. This account is to the best of my knowledge of what was directly related to me. I am hoping that FW Marie will make her own statement when she feels able. One note for all FW's... I am writing much of this on the fly, since this situation is very fluid and I need to move fast and often. The Independant Media Center is not in any immediate danger, as a matter of fact, Ralph Nader is 10 feet away speaking out against WTO right now. The problem is editing. If you can edit length and grammer for redistribution to more media that would be great. We are hard pressed here and are constantly in the streets and on the phones. Ron Judd, Pres of the SCLC had his office call the IWW to request their presence at the big march tomorrow. Wish us luck, I hope someone is collecting video, I have got some great stuff shot by the IMC. Check out the stream video on indymedia.org for some great stuff. More later Eric in O... errr Seattle 2) fyi: .. Got this from another list, the visual picture made my day. Car. Earlier today Natives joined the march that started in front the of labor temple in downtown Seattle's No Protest Zone. Natives who'd been attending the Indigenous Environmental Network and the Seventh Generation Fund's conferences held at Seattle University went to the streets today. They were marching in front of the labor group when the police in their full riot gear tried to stop them. The Natives in the front line came to a halt, the others behind them kept drumming and singing. The front line Natives reached forward and tapped the police on their helmets with their coup sticks, sticking them each three times. The police were confused, and I think labor was a bit confused. The police opened their lines and the march continued on their way. I think this will remain on of my favorite stories of the "Battle in Seattle." I have more stories, and will tell more if'n people want to hear them.

[CTRL] Robert Cohen's FDA Testimony on RBGH!
-Caveat Lector- Whoa, I always wondered why dairy products were connected to so many problems.. Sorry about the I gave up on trying to erase them all Peter Subject: [cfcured] Fwd: Immune Robert Cohen's FDA Testimony on RBGH! importnt ifo for those concerned! [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, hey 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

[CTRL] Blair's spy summit on red mafia
-Caveat Lector- The Sunday Times (London) December 5 1999 BRITAIN Blair's spy summit on red mafia Nicholas Rufford THE heads of Britain's three intelligence agencies have held an unprecedented summit at Downing Street in response to the rising threat from international organised crime. Dr Stephen Lander, of MI5, Richard Dearlove, MI6 chief, and Francis Richards, of GCHQ, assembled for the first time in secret session to brief Tony Blair that international gangs may now be the biggest threat to national security. The summit followed warnings from the Home Office of a "crime emergency" facing Britain. Racketeering, illegal immigration and multi-million-pound fraud are growing at a staggering rate and are swamping the efforts of police and customs. Blair has told colleagues since the meeting, at the end of last month, that the escalation in crime could threaten Labour's chances of a second term in office. The meeting is understood to have taken place in the Cabinet Room, where Blair was flanked by Jonathan Powell, his chief of staff. The heads of the three services have not met at Downing Street since the IRA mortar attack in February 1991. The November meeting was the first called on crime. Blair has agreed to a request by the agencies to divert resources from counter-espionage and counter-terrorism. The peace process in Northern Ireland will allow the agencies to scale down their efforts against Irish terrorism, though rebel groups remain a threat. MI6 will expand its operations against drug traffickers, particularly along the "Balkans route" through which most drugs enter Britain. MI5 is expected to double the £10m it spent last year on fighting serious crime. GCHQ, the government's listening station, is to step up interception of computerised transactions linked to money-laundering and fraud, and international telephone traffic between gangs. The fastest growing areas of criminal activity are: -- The "red mafia" - a term covering Russian and eastern European gangs. Having siphoned billions of dollars from the former Soviet Union through fraud, extortion and smuggling they are investing in London property and in stocks and shares. The red mafia was linked to Friday's murder in Monaco of Edmond Safra, head of a global financial empire. -- Albanian gangs engaged in human trafficking, prostitution, arms dealing and drug smuggling. Criminal activity has been boosted by the rapid growth of the Albanian population in British cities and the continuing lawlessness in Kosovo. -- Turkish drug barons are tightening their grip on the heroin trade, by flooding the market with cheap imports and assassinating opponents. More heroin was seized in Britain in the first six months of this year than for all of 1998. Four-fifths of heroin seized in Britain was peddled by Turkish gangs. -- Cigarette smuggling by Asian gangs has reached epidemic levels and is estimated to cost the Treasury £1.7 billion this year, representing more than a penny on income tax. -- West African criminal gangs in Britain are rapidly expanding their operations from credit-card and advance-fee fraud to other criminal operations, including welfare fraud across the European Union. -- More established gangland names have not gone away. The Italian mafia was behind an attempt to break into the Lloyd's insurance market earlier this year by buying up brokerages. The triads, in conjunction with Far Eastern crime syndicates, have been attempting to infiltrate British sport. The Downing Street summit agreed closer integration and possible merger of the work of the intelligence services and other law enforcement agencies. A senior MI5 officer has been appointed to help run the national intelligence division of Customs and Excise. He will complement the work of Paul Evans, head of the national investigations service, who was recruited from MI6. Other MI5 officers have been seconded to the national criminal intelligence service, which advises police forces. Crime in Britain is following the pattern of the United States and becoming more premeditated and more violent. Jack Straw, the home secretary, said last week that theft in England and Wales could rise by 40% by 2001 and burglary by 25%. President Bill Clinton yesterday approved $30 billion spending for America's intelligence services, which have been given increased powers to seize the assets of drug traffickers.

[CTRL] Chinese target new spiritual group
-Caveat Lector- The Times (London) December 6 1999 WORLD SUMMARY Chinese target new spiritual group Beijing: The Chinese authorities have taken aim at a second spiritual group, similar to Falun Gong (Oliver August writes). Zhong Gong, which claims 20 million members, may have been banned without announcement, according to the Information Centre of Human Rights and Democratic Movement in China. Over the weekend, police in the central province of Shaanxi shut down the largest Zhong Gong base and dispersed about 2,000 practitioners. There were no reports of arrests, but Zhang Hongbao, the Zhong Gong founder, is under police guard, according to the human rights group. Zhong Gong combines classical Qi Gong exercises with elements of traditional Chinese culture. The widening of the crackdown comes after admissions by government officials that the campaign that began in July has failed to eliminate the perceived threat to the Communist Party. http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/ 99/12/06/timfgnfgn01002.html?999 .

Your worst fears are justified; Special Forces Underground is real. It's not just a subtitle on the Resister's masthead. Worse for you, is that it's not just in Special Forces. It exists in all branches of the military, in federal agencies, among civilians, and in several foreign countries. I am an old Special Forces active duty soldier. I've worked with people in all branches of the military, alphabet soup federal agencies, police departments, and civilians. While most people I've worked with are passive supporters of resistance to your "global community," there are some who are willing to actively defend what they believe in. I will continue to perform my appointed military duties in a professional manner. I will publicly agree with your collectivist policies and parrot your slogans. I pay my taxes, don't belong to any "militia," and won't join any "extremist" group. For all outside appearances I am one of your "global community" peasants. Having traveled extensively I have seen firsthand the results of failed collectivist governments who have looted their countries into squalor. Most politically attuned people I know have seen it also and know that the only way you can achieve your global community is by doing the same to America. Some think resistance is futile. Maybe it is. But we are willing to fight you, and make you pay DEARLY for your arrogance. We are moral, principled, and believe in the ORIGINAL Constitution and the philosophies that define it.

[CTRL] Mobile phone companies face crackdown on masts
-Caveat Lector- key extracts: The news coincides with the revelation that hundreds of schools that have let mobile phone companies erect aerials on their roofs in return for rent face safety checks after scientists found some were exposing children to potentially dangerous radiation levels. Two schools as well as homes have been subjected to radiation levels that exceed safe limits. The problem was discovered at one school by government scientists after they were called in by concerned parents. The other cases emerged only by chance and it is thought that a survey will show many more. Mobile phone masts emit about 100 watts of power, similar to a domestic light bulb. But the microwaves they emit are focused into beams and are emitted in pulses -- properties which, say some scientists, can alter the way brain cells function and damage DNA. --- The Sunday Times (London) December 5 1999 SCOTLAND Mobile phone companies face crackdown on masts A CRACKDOWN on mobile phone masts is to be demanded by a Scottish parliament committee in the wake of public fears over potential health risks, write Geraldine Murray and Kenny Farquharson. Tougher laws to force mobile phone companies to apply for full planning permission every time they want to erect a transmitter mast will be proposed in a report by the transport and environment committee. The move, planned for early in the new year, will give local authorities the right to reject applications for masts, many of which are currently erected on schools and in residential areas. Under existing legislation, mobile phone operators do not require planning permission unless the mast is above 49ft. The committee's proposals would prevent companies from erecting masts without members of the public being fully informed and given an opportunity to object. The telecommunications industry is concerned that such a move could allow councils the chance to make political capital out of mobile phone masts and deliberately block future applications. But a source close to the committee said: "None of the industry representatives have made a convincing case for the committee to do anything other than recommend full planning powers." The committee has taken evidence and submissions from a range of experts including scientists from Greater Glasgow Health Board and the Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health. Both organisations insisted that there is a growing body of research into possible links between mobile phone masts and a number of conditions including short-term memory loss and cancer. They called for new rules to restrict where masts are sited. The Scottish executive will have to respond to the committee's recommendation, but the committee has the option of bringing forward its own legislation if it chooses. Half of Scotland's 32 local authorities have imposed restrictions on erecting further masts on schools and council-owned buildings until further scientific research has been carried out. Kevin Dunion, director of Friends of the Earth Scotland, welcomed the news. "There's no doubt the people of Scotland want planning controls to prevent masts on schools and hospitals," he said. "The choice facing the Scottish executive is clear: does it propose changes to planning legislation itself or will it be forced to bow to proposals from the parliament's environment committee?" Bob King, secretary of the Scottish Advisory Committee on Telecommunications, said: "Clearly health and safety takes priority over any planning issue, but at the same time I would want to see any new constraints exercised in such a way they do not deliberately inconvenience an operator." A spokesman for the Scottish executive said: "We cannot comment until we see the results of the report." The news coincides with the revelation that hundreds of schools that have let mobile phone companies erect aerials on their roofs in return for rent face safety checks after scientists found some were exposing children to potentially dangerous radiation levels. Two schools as well as homes have been subjected to radiation levels that exceed safe limits. The problem was discovered at one school by government scientists after they were called in by concerned parents. The other cases emerged only by chance and it is thought that a survey will show many more. Mobile phone masts emit about 100 watts of power, similar to a domestic light bulb.

[CTRL] Adios Miranda
-Caveat Lector- ``If police can violate Miranda with impunity, where's the check on police power?" Court To Revisit Its Miranda Ruling By RICHARD CARELLI .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court, confronting its landmark Miranda ruling head-on, agreed Monday to decide whether police still must warn criminal suspects they have a ``right to remain silent'' and to get a lawyer's help. The justices said they will rule by summer on whether Congress in 1968 effectively overturned the 1966 decision, familiar not only to police and suspects but to generations of Americans who have witnessed countless arrests in movies and on television. Clinton administration lawyers are refusing to defend the anti-Miranda law enacted by Congress, but a federal appeals court upheld it earlier this year - setting the stage for this constitutional showdown. The court, far more liberal 33 years ago than it is today, sought to remedy ``inherently coercive'' interrogations by requiring police to inform criminal suspects of their rights before questioning them. Failure to give the warnings can result in evidence - a confession or some incriminating statement - being lost to prosecutors. But in a surprising ruling earlier this year, the conservative 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a long-ignored 1968 federal law known as Section 3501 means failure to issue Miranda warnings no longer requires automatic exclusion of evidence in federal prosecutions. That ruling would let prosecutors use incriminating statements that Charles Dickerson of Takoma Park, Md. - accused in seven bank robberies in Maryland and Virginia - made to FBI agents even though he may not have received a proper Miranda warning. The appeals court's rationale would apply to state prosecutions as well. By an 8-5 vote last February, it said Section 3501 made failing to give Miranda warnings just one of several factors in deciding whether statements to police were made voluntarily. Section 3501 says ``the presence or absence'' of any factor such as a Miranda warning ``need not be conclusive on the issue of voluntariness.'' Neither Dickerson nor the federal prosecutors who had opposed his appeal focused on the 1968 law. But University of Utah law professor Paul Cassell, representing the conservative Washington Legal Foundation as a friend of the court, sought to revive the dormant Section 3501. He succeeded in the 4th Circuit court and was appointed Monday to defend the law when the case is argued before the nation's highest court in March or April. ``We're cautiously optimistic about our chances of winning,'' Cassell said after learning of the court's action. ``This is an issue that has been waiting to be decided for over 30 years. The court today is much more sensitive to the need for confessions, which are vital to solving large numbers of criminal cases,'' he said. The Miranda decision, named for the late Ernesto Miranda, a career criminal in Phoenix, flowed from the Fifth Amendment's guarantee that no one ``shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.'' But the court never explicitly has said its decision or the police warnings were required by the Fifth Amendment. If the Miranda ruling was not constitutionally based, the court never really had the authority to make the warnings mandatory. After Dickerson's appeal was filed, the Clinton administration refused to defend Section 3501. Justice Department lawyers contend that the Miranda ruling ``is of constitutional dimension'' and ``cannot be superseded merely by legislation.'' ``At this point in time, 33 years after Miranda was decided and many years after it has been absorbed into police practices, judicial procedures and public understanding, the Miranda decision should not be overruled,'' government lawyers told the court. The political sensitivity of the case was highlighted when Attorney General Janet Reno decided to sign the government's brief herself, a rarity. Dickerson's lawyer, James Hundley of Fairfax, Va., was not immediately available for comment Monday. But in a recent interview, he worried about his client, now free on bail, and the nation at large. ``Sure we run the risk of having the whole country stuck with a bad Supreme Court decision, but I have to represent my client zealously,'' Hundley said. ``If police can violate Miranda with impunity, where's the check on police power/" DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Treasury Dept Out of Control
-Caveat Lector- Treasury Criticized by Investigator By MATT KELLEY .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Department lawyers failed to keep the agency from shredding potential evidence in a lawsuit over American Indians' money, then covered up the shredding for more than 14 weeks and misled a federal court about it, a court-appointed investigator concluded. ``This is a system clearly out of control,'' investigator Alan Balaran wrote in the report, released today by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth. Justice Department lawyers had asked Lamberth to delay releasing the report, saying it ``could result in severe and unfair damage'' to the reputations of seven Treasury Department lawyers interviewed in the shredding probe. Lamberth rejected that request Monday, noting that more than ten months have passed since the shredding ended. Workers had shredded 162 boxes of documents possibly related to the Indian lawsuit before Treasury Department officials learned of the practice and stopped it on Jan. 27. At the time, Lamberth was considering whether to hold government officials in contempt of court because of mishandling other documents in the case. Lamberth cited then-Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt for contempt of court in February. Treasury Department lawyers waited more than 14 weeks before notifying Lamberth in May that the 162 boxes of records had been shredded. Lawyers for the federal government made statements to Lamberth about the records that were at best misleading and at worst ``patently untrue,'' Balaran wrote. The lawsuit seeks damages for the government's mismanagement of accounts now worth about $500 million for more than 300,000 individual Indians. The accounts include proceeds from government-approved leases on Indian land for activities such as grazing, logging, mining and oil drilling. The Indians' lawyers said last month they would seek another contempt citation after Balaran found documents relevant to the case dumped into a shed with used tires and other debris on a North Dakota reservation.

[CTRL] Safra Hit?
-Caveat Lector- "Safra's chief of security was Israeli-trained. Since 1985 --[after the Iran-Contra hearings]-- the banker had been protected by 'former' [Mossad] agents.". Banker's Nurse Admits Setting Fire By IAN PHILLIPS .c The Associated Press MONTE CARLO, Monaco (AP) - An American nurse who initially told police that hooded intruders set the fire that killed billionaire banker Edmond Safra admitted today that he started the blaze himself, Monaco's chief prosecutor said. Ted Maher, 41, told police that he set the fire in an effort to get back at another member of Safra's staff and had not intended to kill the banker, Prosecutor Daniel Serdet told a news conference. Maher confessed this morning. He will be charged with arson leading to two deaths, a crime punishable by life in prison, Serdet said. Safra, 67, suffocated Friday along with another American nurse, Viviane Torrent, in the fire at his luxury seaside apartment in Monaco. The banker, the founder of the Republic National Bank of New York and one of the world's wealthiest men, was under medical care for Parkinson's disease. Safra's wife, Lily, who had taken refuge in another room after a security alarm sounded shortly before the fire, was unharmed. Police said that before he died, Safra spoke to his wife twice from the bathroom using his mobile phone. Officials said the 67-year-old Lebanese-born businessman was still alive when firefighters arrived at his burning apartment, but he ignored their pleas to unlock the bathroom door, fearing that assailants were outside. However, a source with detailed knowledge of the case said that Safra called police twice while he was coughing in the smoke-filled bathroom and begged them to get him out. Reports that Safra had talked to his wife and refused to open the door were ``totally untrue,'' the source said. The source said that Maher had told investigators he wanted to be a hero by saving his boss. Serdet said Maher told authorities he acted alone. He appeared psychologically unstable, was on medication and stabbed himself twice to mislead police, Serdet said. ``It was my own dark ideas which led me to do this,'' Serdet quoted Maher as saying. ``He wanted to settle an account with another member of the staff and also bring attention to himself,'' Serdet said. Police had cast doubt on Maher's previous version of events - that two hooded men had entered Safra's apartment and set the pre-dawn fire. Serdet said that detailed knowledge of the high-security apartment building - and a key - would have been required to break in. Maher was hospitalized after the fire with a knife wound in his stomach and one in his thigh. The wounds were not life-threatening, officials said. ``He has confessed that he stabbed himself twice to try to cover up the affair,'' Serdet said. A bloodstained, 3-inch switchblade knife was found in the apartment, but it was not known whether fingerprints had been traced. According to the French daily Le Monde, the knife belonged to Maher. The arson was not financially motivated, Serdet said. Maher earned $600 a day, Serdet said and told police he had ``spoiled the most beautiful job he had ever had.'' Maher, who is married and has three children, had worked for Safra for five months, but he had been in Monaco just six weeks. He originally hailed from Auburn, Maine, and later moved to Stormville, N.Y., officials said. According to the prosecutor, Maher apparently had a conflict with the head of Safra's medical team that pushed him to set the fire. It was unclear why he felt a fire would settle the score. Maher had been next to Safra's bed from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday morning when he was replaced by Torrent, Serdet said. He then went to sleep in a small room with a bed next to Safra's room. ``If he had wanted to kill Safra, he would have had 10,000 chances a day,'' Serdet said. French and Italian media reported today that Safra's chief of security was Israeli-trained and the banker had been protected by former Israeli security agents since 1985. In Geneva, about 700 mourners gathered today for Safra's funeral and burial. Safra had long-standing connections with Geneva, where he was a resident for several years and retained a home.

[CTRL] Psycho the rapist
-Caveat Lector- Psychologists' Ethics Questioned CLEVELAND (AP) - Hundreds of psychologists guilty of serious professional misconduct continue to treat patients because regulatory boards composed of their peers are reluctant to discipline them, The Plain Dealer reported. Boards nationwide have revoked only a handful of licenses, and in most cases impose minor sanctions such as loose supervision, ethics coursework and therapy, the newspaper reported Sunday. Of the 670 psychologists disciplined nationally for sexual misconduct, 131 were only reprimanded or were placed on probation under terms that allowed them to continue practicing, the newspaper reported. The newspaper's survey of the nation's regulatory boards found that from September 1971 through last June, nearly 2,200 of the nation's 75,000 licensed psychologists committed major ethical violations, such as engaging in sexual misconduct with a patient. Twenty-seven states have revoked five or fewer licenses. West Virginia, Rhode Island, North Dakota and Montana license a total of 1,500 psychologists but have taken a combined 15 disciplinary actions and have never revoked a license. And New York, home to about 14,000 psychologists, has revoked 12 licenses. In Ohio, which has 3,900 licensed psychologists, the Board of Psychology has revoked only 16 licenses since it came into existence in 1972. Critics of the self-regulated profession told the newspaper that serious misconduct should result in license forfeitures. ``For the physicians or therapists who have engaged in sex with their patients, they should not be allowed to go back into practice, period,'' said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of the Public Citizen Health Research Group. Many boards impose lenient sentences because they see themselves as therapists trying to rehabilitate dysfunctional peers rather than judges dispensing justice, said R. Chris Barden, a Salt Lake City psychologist who served on the Minnesota Board of Psychology during 1993-1997. ``I refer to psychology boards as 'captured boards,' boards that have been captured by the profession they are supposed to regulate,'' he said.

-Caveat Lector- France Readies 2000 Crowd Control PARIS (AP) - France plans to put more than 60,000 police in the streets on New Year's Eve to fend off any trouble and help assure a smooth glide into 2000, the interior minister said Monday. About 11,000 extra riot police and mobile units will be added to those already in place for street duty, said Interior Minister Jean-Pierre Chevenement. An additional 1,600 soldiers will help survey airports and train stations, already under special watch, he said. The stepped-up security is aimed mainly at avoiding ``crowd movements,'' assuring minimal problems due to any failure caused by the Y2K computer bug and stopping all risks of attack by terrorist groups, Chevenement said.

[CTRL] The effect of hormone mimics?---Yesterday's Precocious Puberty Is Norm Today
-Caveat Lector- New York Times November 30, 1999 Yesterday's Precocious Puberty Is Norm Today By JANE E. BRODY A friend who runs the child care program at a Brooklyn high school reports that one of the newly enrolled mothers, a freshman, is 13. Her baby's father is 14. While children having children is not a new phenomenon, the ever-dropping age of puberty is. Many parents become worried when their 7- or 8-year-old daughters begin to develop breasts or grow pubic hair. They wonder, is this normal? Will the surge of sex hormones adversely affect the girls' behavior, moods or physical growth? Can girls who are still emotionally and socially immature adjust well to early physical maturation? And when should more explicit sex education and cautions about birth control begin? What's Normal? Two years ago, Dr. Marcia E. Herman-Giddens and colleagues described the results of physical examinations of 17,077 American girls, which revealed that white girls were showing bodily signs of sexual maturity an average of one year earlier than previous studies had indicated, and black girls two years earlier. On the average, breast development was notable before age 10 in white girls and before age 9 in black girls, and the growth of pubic hair generally occurred about a year later. But even at age 7, 27 percent of black girls and nearly 7 percent of white girls had begun to grow breasts, pubic hair or both. The findings, she and others suggest, should prompt a redefinition of the ages at which puberty is considered precocious. Current medical textbooks state that just 1 percent of girls younger than 8 show signs of puberty. In a new review of existing data, in the Oct. 4 issue of the journal Pediatrics, Dr. Paul B. Kaplowitz, Dr. Sharon E. Oberfield and members of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society, concluded that "the onset of breast development between 7 and 8 years of age in white girls and between 6 and 8 years in African-American girls may be part of the normal broad variation in the timing of puberty and not, in most cases, a pathological state." Breast development is stimulated by estrogen, which is released from the ovaries upon a hormonal signal from the pituitary gland. The growth of pubic hair, however, is a result of stimulation by androgen, the so-called male sex hormone, also produced by the ovaries. There has been much speculation about why earlier maturation may be occurring in girls, especially because there has been no apparent advance (and no racial difference) in the onset of puberty in boys. For girls, better nutrition over all and fewer infectious diseases no doubt play a role, because these trends result in more consistent growth. The increase in childhood obesity may also be a factor, because fatty tissue is a source of the sex hormone estrogen. Another suggested possibility is increased exposure to certain plastics and insecticides that degrade into substances that have estrogenlike effects. But whatever the reasons, the phenomenon is real and, to many parents, worrisome. The new report by Dr. Kaplowitz of the Medical College of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth University, Dr. Oberfield of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and members of the endocrine society should prove reassuring. Effects of Early Maturity Parents of adolescent girls know all too well that life can be an emotional roller coaster, with unpredictable outbursts of temper and outrageous or infuriating behavior. Indeed, precocious puberty has been associated with behavioral problems. In one study of 33 early-maturing girls, as a group, they appeared to be more depressed, socially withdrawn, aggressive and moody than a comparable group of girls who had not yet entered puberty. But another study that followed girls with precocious puberty to age 17 1/2 found that they suffered no lasting psychological effects, except a tendency toward excessive psychosomatic complaints. Although girls undergoing early sexual maturation may be far from their teenage years, parents would probably do well to read up on how to cope with an adolescent and what is considered the range of normal behavior for this often volatile time of life. Another common concern involves the ability of girls as young as 7 or 8 to cope with menstruation. Dr. Kaplowitz and his colleagues point out that a 7-year-old who is developing breasts will not undergo the start of menstrual cycles, or menarche, for another two years. That time gap should give parents and pediatricians enough time to prepare. Also, once a girl starts menstruating, she is potentially able to become pregnant and needs explicit sex education. Adults who wait too long end up with pregnant 13-year-old girls. But the main concern for

[CTRL] What is the Blue Beam Project?
-Caveat Lector- Luke Ch 21 v 25-28 Please post far and wide. Blue Beam Project http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/6583/project079.html What is the Blue Beam Project? What is the Blue Beam Project? by David Openheimer It involves two things. A technologically simulated "second coming" and the reemmrgence of new "MONTAUK" type projects that have the ability to take up a whole bunch of people as in a "rapture" type of situation and whisk the whole bunch into never-never land. Ironically, portions of the holographic projections have the potential for changing the planet into oneness with God. Unfortunately, this operates on the premise that Man shall somehow become God in human form and control other Men and dictate all actions and thoughts. The calculated resistance to the new religion, the New World Order and the new "Messiah" will entail human loss on a massive scale in the ensuing "holy wars".The "BLUE BEAM PROJECT" will pretend to be the universal fulfillment of the prophecies of old; as major an event as that which took place 2000 years ago. In principle, it will make use of the sky as a holographic projection screen for space-based laser-generating satellites (star wars). These projectors will project simultaneous images to the four corners of the planet, in every language by region. It deals with the religious aspect of the NEW WORLD ORDER. The "system" has already been tested. Holographic projections of the "CHRIST IMAGE" have already been seen in some remote desert areas. These have only been reported in tabloid papers, so they are instantly rendered moot. They can also project images of alien craft, aliens, monsters, angels - you name it. Computers will coordinate the satellites and software will run the show-and-tell. Hollography is based on very nearly identical signals combining to produce and image, or hologram, with depth perception. This is equally applicable to acoustic (ELF,VLF,LF) waves as it is to optical phenomena. Specifically, the "show" will consist of laser projections of multiple holographic images to different parts of the planet, each receiving different images according to the predominating regional religious faith. Not a single area will be excluded. With computer animation and sound effects appearing to come from the depths of space, astonished followers of the various creeds will witness their own returned Messiah in spectacularly convincing lifelike realness. The various images of Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, etc., will merge into ONE after "correct explanation" of the mysteries, prophecies and revelations are disclosed. This "ONE GOD" will in fact function as the "Anti-Christ", who will "explain" that the various scriptures "have been misunderstood"- that the religious of old are responsible for turning brother against brother, nation against nation - that the religions of the world must be abolished to make way for the GOLDEN AGE (NEW AGE) of the One World Religion, representing the One God they see before them. Naturally, this superbly staged, full-scale production will result in social and religious disorder on a massive scale. Wonder what the television transmitters of religious networks will be doing on that day ? But before all this, they have to go through four different steps in order to get to Project Blue Beam. 1: The first step concerns the breakdown of all archaological knowledge. It deals with staging earthquakes at certain precise locations around the planet where supposed new "discoveries" will finally explain (for them) that the meanings of the basic doctrines of all the world`s major religions are "wrong." This falsification will be used to make the population believe that all religious doctrine has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. The falsification started with the film 2001: A Space Odessy, the TV-series STAR TREK, the STAR WARS films, E.T., all of which deal with space "invasion" and "protection". JURASSIC PARK, was to push the theory of evolution. 2: The second step deals with the gigantic space show: 3D optical holograms and sounds, laser projections of multiple holographic images in different parts of the world, each receiving a different image, according to its predetermined original national religious faith. This new "god" image will talk in all languages. As an exemple, the Soviets have manufactured the advanced computers and have programmed them with the minute psychological particles based upon their studies of the anatomy and biology of the human body, as well as their studies on the anatomy, chemistry and electricity of the humain brain. These computers have also been fed with the different languages of the world. 3: The third step deals with telepathic electronic two-way communication, where ELF(Extra Low Frequency), VLF (Very Low Frequency), and LF (Low Frequency) waves will reach the people of the earth through the insides of their brains, making each person believe that

[CTRL] [Fwd: The Phil Ex by Brad Steiger]
The Philadelphia Experiment http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/6583/project004.html Navy Ship Disappears In 1943 Experiment The Philadelphia Experiment - A Legend? by Brad Steiger First of all I would like to start out by saying that all I know is what I read. I have absolutely no insider information on anything related to the legend of the Philadelphia Experiment, ETs or UFOs. While that may be true, I do get gut-feels on things and the purpose of my letter is to relate these feelings. While I will always describe the Philadelphia Experiment (PE) as a legend, if there is truth to this legend, I believe that it is the central, focal point regarding the reported stories concerning ETs. I have included a section of Brad Steiger's book on PE which I would recommend as one of the books to read several times cover-to-cover. This section potentially uncovers some myths. These include the following: The first "Treaty" was not with Truman, but rather with FDR. This, to me, makes sense because the United States was in a very vulnerable position with the threat of Nazi Germany. FDR would be at a point of desperation willing to trade "alien technology for certain planetary privileges". I might add that the "treaty" certainly was not legal because it did not abide by the terms of the US Constitution. Therefore, this "treaty" does not need to be recognized by other alien confederations. The "treaty" was made with the "K-Group". I believe we need to be careful here because it is not species that we are dealing with but rather confederations. To check out what confederation is being dealt with is to identify the character and actions of a given group. Both the Pleiadean Confederation and the NU (Galactic) Confederation believe in and adhere to the law of noninterference. Therefore, they would not exchange anything for technology until a planet has evolved to the stage where it could handle that technology. Even in 1996 the inhabitants of this Earth, in general, have a considerable way to go to become law-abiding and respecting the rights of others. What I mean by this is that I believe that the Law regarding the rights of other people needs to be written in a person's mind and heart so that the actions of that person coincide with the belief structure. Now, when we talk about the "K-Group" appearing human, that does not make them the good guys, for the Draco Confederation has people who appear to be quite human. Since this "treaty" would break the law of noninterference, there is only one group that does that, and that is the Draco Confederation. The Draco Confederation is also called the Leverons or Orions. I recognize that this gets complex because of the number of names involved; but if we just keep looking at character, we can identify the good guys from the bad guys. Thus, I believe it is a myth to presume that any ET species by itself is either good or bad, and that just because one might be dealing with an ET species that looks human does not necessarily mean that the ET is either trustworthy or honorable. There has also been a myth that we had no choice but to make such a "treaty". You will note in what is stated below that Bielek stated that FDR met with the Pleiadean group first. Since the Pleiadean group was not going to violate the law of nonintereference and exchange technology for anything, they were passed over in favor of the "K-Group" which undoubtedly represented Draco. As an aside, from what I read and my gut feel, the law of noninterference is very meaningful to the two ethical confederations. This law probably is not necessarily simplistic but rather complex just like most of the laws we have here in the U.S. The following comes from the book, The Philadelphia Experiment and Other UFO Conspiracies, by Brad Steiger. This portion is the beginning of chapter six called Ripping A Hole In Hyperspace. When the Eldridge dematerialized in 1943, it ripped an enormous "hole" in Hyperspace, "forty years wide," according to Al Bielek. "This tremendous tear in time allowed a vast contingent of aliens to enter our space-time continuum," Bielek said. "At first I thought this had just been a peculiar side-effect or by-product of the experiment. Now I understand that the whole thing was a set-up." A set-up? By whom? Bielek's voice takes on the tone of one annoyed by an unpleasant memory: "Extraterrestials. The whole Philadelphia Experiment was set-up by an alien group that had met with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1934." Whoa! Roosevelt? FDR? We all know about the allegations that President Harry S. Truman set up the secret study group known as MJ-12, but now we're talking about a meeting with a U.S. President and aliens that allegedly took place thirteen years earlier. FDR'S Secret Treaty With The Alien "K-Group" Bielek is adamant: "Yes, FDR met with aliens somewhere in the mid-Pacific--I believe it was on board the Pennsylvania. He signed an

(Below is a letter responding to some questions from David Hoffman. He is in prison for giving portions of his book concerning the Oklahoma bombing to the grand jury. He is writing a new book, Murdergate, it which he details evidence pointing to Admiral Boorda's death as murder.) David, Got back from Cape a few days ago. I did not find the Cape Cod Times article on Admiral Boorda that I wanted. I was on the microfiche two different days until I almost went blind. I started May 17th and went forward. The second day I went to June 15th. It is there, but most likely a latter date, could even be July or later. It is microfiched, but not indexed. But, I assure you, it is there. I am most definitely referring to subjects that few are aware of. The highest communications are in the news, cleverly hidden in steganography. Very few journalists are aware of this. The Falmouth Enterprise printed my Martha's Vineyard newspaper, the Vineyard MAP for a number of years. I became friendly with Bill Hough (nephew of Pulitzer winner, Henry Beetle Hough). Newspaper publishing has been in his family for generations. They had owned the New Bedford paper for generations. Bill had for years noticed strange headlines in newspapers that did not make sense. When I explained this to him, he was floored. My Father spent years teaching this to me. Please consider that there are areas of the news that few comprehend. You made reference to a cryptic communication wherein the Chinese navy was mentioned in regard to Admiral Boorda. Without explaining the stenanography or 'billboarding' itself, let me explain the perspective discussed. China has a kick ass navy. Many years ago we made the decision to create aircraft carrier based battle groups. As technology developed, two things happened. First, submarines became harder and harder to find. In the words of former Naval Secretary, John Lehman, the "seas are becoming more opaque". Secondly, the type of ordnance being carried by subs were becoming far more deadly against surface ships. We miss built our navy. Over fifty percent of the Chinese navy are submarines. They are diesel, though they cannot stay down as long a nuclear, they are far quieter. The first hint of this came about when the Sheffeld was sunk by a French missile in the Falkland War. A few years later (mid March 1984), it became far more clear with the 'surprise Soviet naval maneuvers'. After this occurred a signal hit all the major papers. Again and again you will see the expression 'sea change' (in quotes) in all the major papers. Most often it would be in headlines. It would never be explained in the body copy. I would at times play a game for demonstration. I would have an educated person read the article and ask them if they understood it. Always they would say 'yes'. I would then ask if the headline would make any sense if the term 'sea change' was not understood. They would not have a clue, but started to sense the next question. I would then ask what "...'sea change'.." meant. They had not a clue. 'Sea change' is a basic power shift at sea. Layte Gulf, Trafalgar and Manilla Bay were 'sea changes'. Shortly after this messages appeared in major publications world wide (deliberately above the head of even most all journalists), Ronald Reagan made a speech. He stated flatly that the United States Navy could no longer control all the 'sixteen choke points'. Major media deliberately made nothing of this, and it went right by the public. The point now, as it was then, is this.: were there to be a major conflict between the Chinese and American navies, our losses would be unacceptable. Period. From that period, some sixteen years ago, we have held up a false image of our power, and relied more on deals, deals, deals, deals, and more deals. In the early 1950s secret non use of nuke deals were brokered by my Father's boss, Henry Luce. The first to be brought in was Joe Stalin. He stated that he loved the deal, but that he could not go for it because as we could trust him (we knew who was in charge), he could not trust us because for any four year period there would be a new 'Commander and Chief'. Luce and Hedley Donovan understood those concerns. To demonstrate to Uncle Joe that the U.S. President (then Ike) could not get his hands on a nuclear device, (that it would remain in 'private' hands, the major media being the watch), a phony 'censorship flap' was concocted. Fortune Magazine was used because it had far more of an upscale readership. Very publicly "...the President decided..." was changed to "...it was decided" with much fanfare. This was now acceptable to Joe Stalin. The best reference for this is Elsner's History of Time Inc. Vol. II, but you must read through the lines and think. Later Luce brought in Communist China. He met with them in Iran. As Luce was flying home to Manhattan, the Chinese troops now crossed the Yalu, assured that they would not be nuked. Every decent historian of the

That's what a trickster does when he doesn't want you to notice what's REALLY going on. Many in Seattle want to get rid of the WTO altogether. It's illegal and undemocratic as well as tyrannical. Beware of those who try to convince you that tweaking the WTO will make it good for everybody. Chomsky calls this - setting the limits of acceptable discussion. Here below is a good example. Joshua2 Philadelphia Inquirer December 3, 1999 Protesters have a point on WTO: Interest groups need to be heard By G. Richard Shell It is tempting to simply dismiss the protests of angry environmentalists, labor groups, and animal-rights advocates now being heard in Seattle against the World Trade Organization (WTO). After all, we live in an era of unprecedented growth and prosperity made possible in part by liberal trading rules. These protesters look like a group of Vietnam-era Yippies stuck in a time warp. Let's get on to another round of trade talks. But before turning the channel, let's look below the surface of these protests. What are these people upset about? Trade, itself? Not really. Most of them probably drove to Seattle in Japanese cars, are wearing "Made in China" running shoes and will happily sip Brazilian coffee at Seattle coffee bars. Most of these protesters are neither "back-to-nature" or "made-in-the-U.S.A." freaks. What frustrates them is *** the loss of their ability to participate in decision-making over trade issues - to bargain and negotiate as interest groups in an open and democratic political process.*** They have a serious point that may get lost in the media circus. Just what is the WTO? It is a treaty organization - a "contract" among sovereign states to abide by various free trade rules. How does it work? Basically, the WTO acts as a legal shield protecting national political leaders from domestic political forces seeking to impose protectionist laws. When free trade causes pain and domestic economic dislocation (and it often does), the people in pain naturally try to pass laws outlawing the low-cost imports that are disrupting their industries. When this happens, national political leaders can point to their WTO treaty obligation prohibiting protectionist laws. If the protectionist political forces are still not satisfied, the political leaders file a lawsuit at the WTO against the country causing the pain. When the lawsuit fails (as most do), these politicians can blame the "faceless bureaucrats in Geneva" for the domestic problems. That is the good side of the WTO: It enables national political leaders to promote economic growth by declaring protectionism to be "illegal" and giving aggrieved countries a place to sue other countries when the local political heat gets turned up too high. The problem most of the Seattle protesters are worried about, however, is not protectionism. They are worried about the WTO's bad side. The WTO "contract" covers economic issues only. Other global priorities such as human rights, personal freedoms and environmental needs simply have no place there. When a business leader in America wants to reform a U.S. law to relax pollution rules, he or she must answer the challenges of interest groups arrayed to protect the environment. But when a Japanese multinational gets its government to challenge that same U.S. environmental law in a WTO proceeding as a barrier to Japanese imports, the WTO decides the case (and may overrule the U.S. law) without a single interest group voice being raised on behalf of environmental concerns. The same silence echoes within the WTO complex in Geneva regarding issues of food safety, child-labor standards and a host of other public policies. Thus, by signing onto the WTO treaty, a country's leaders help promote free trade - a worthy goal. But the WTO system also bypasses the democratic processes that lead to non-protectionist environmental laws, child-labor statutes and the like. When virtually any domestic law comes into conflict with free-trade values, the WTO treaty documents mandate that the free-trade values must prevail. What's more, the only parties allowed to participate in the WTO policy-making and dispute settlement systems are the states themselves. No domestic or global interest group can appear, make an argument or even offer a suggestion. It is a closed system that recognizes free trade and only free trade as the preeminent norm. So before we write off these latter-day Yippies in Seattle, let's consider that they may have a point. There needs to be a better way for the WTO to recognize when legitimate, non-protectionist national values about things such as the environment and human rights conflict with free-trade rules. And we need to democratize the processes the WTO

[CTRL] ally gets better planes than US pilots fly
-Caveat Lector- Christian Science Monitor THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1999 USA Arms sales: exporting US military edge? Pentagon backs an unusual sale in which an ally gets better planes than US pilots fly. Justin Brown Special to The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON In one of the biggest US arms exports since the end of the cold war, a small sheikdom in the Persian Gulf is expected to receive 80 fighter jets with more-advanced technology than in those flown by American pilots. The deal between Lockheed Martin Corp. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is expected to be final soon, comes as the US government has been loosening export controls to boost a defense industry hurt by a drop in military orders, analysts say. The result of the new US attitude is that, in some cases, purchasing countries have greater leverage over American sellers - and they can now get advanced weapons that once were reserved for the closest US allies. The concern is that friends can become foes, and secrets can be stolen. In this latest deal, the UAE, an oil-rich ally from the Gulf War with a population of 2.3 million, would get F-16s that have a range, radar ability, targeting accuracy, and avionics capability that are superior to the US F-16s. F-16 FIGHTER: In one of the biggest arms exports since the cold war, the United Arab Emirates would get F-16s like this one, but with more-advanced technology than those flown by US pilots. AP "We're losing control of technology, and we're giving foreign countries better stuff than our own kids have," says Lawrence Korb, a former assistant secretary of Defense who advocates reduced military spending. The significance of this deal - and its importance to the US - was underscored by Vice President Al Gore's presence at a May ceremony announcing the preliminary sales agreement, which is thought to be worth $7 billion to $8 billion. More talks have been scheduled this month, according to a Pentagon source. If completed, it would be the first transaction in which a foreign country would pay an American company to develop and receive significant new technology. Military officials say they have never scrutinized an arms sale as closely as this one and that the upgraded F-16s, even if they fell into the wrong hands, would never be a threat to US fighter pilots. They argue that the financial compensation will be a major boost for Lockheed Martin and the US taxpayer at a time when defense spending is well off its cold war high. "These international sales are largely sustaining our defense industry during a time when we're not buying [too many aircraft]," says a senior military official who asked for anonymity. The UAE deal also has regional security implications. The military says doing business there will strengthen the US foothold in the Persian Gulf region, which includes Iran and Iraq. "It will give us more access to airfields in the region," says the military official. But according to Natalie Goldring, who heads a University of Maryland disarmament program, more arms mean more danger. "Stability is not ensured by arms races," she says. "History is pretty sure on this." The loosening of export controls can be traced to a 1995 Clinton administration arms-transfer policy that sets as a sales criteria "the impact [on] US industry and the defense-industrial base." The Middle East has been America's leading arms customer dating back to the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the days when Iran was considered an ally. As oil prices dropped and Middle Eastern economies tanked, however, more business moved to Asia. But Asia also got hit by an economic crisis, and today weapons producers are having more trouble finding customers. Competition has also increased. With fighter aircraft, for instance, there is more or less technological parity between the US, Europe, and Russia - one reason the Pentagon is currently developing a new trio of planes. Finally, the end of the cold war slowed purchases by the US government and made exporting more crucial for the survival of arms producers. To gain a lion's share of the international market, the US companies have had to look much harder for new customers. "Once the cold war ended, there were no longer ideological reasons for selling weapons," says Luke Warren, a military analyst for the Council for a Livable World Education Fund. "Now the defense industry has to export to maintain profit margins." Whereas previously the US would sell arms that were one generation behind top of the line, it is now more willing to sell from current generations. Moreover, the US is becoming less discerning in choosing to whom it sells, critics charge. Although the UAE is considered a reliable friend in a volatile region, it is not a core ally like Britain. In the case of the UAE deal, officials there played Lockheed Martin against other international aircraft producers, and may have
[CTRL] Allen Dulles - Father of Lies
-Caveat Lector- America's Daily Net Newspaper http://www.nitronews.com/dowbenko.html FATHER OF LIES A BOOK REVIEW By Uri Dowbenko Media Columnist [EMAIL PROTECTED] What can you say about a dead white guy whose own wife called him "The Shark"? Yes, Allen Dulles was a lawyer. He worked for the powerful illuminati law firm Sullivan Cromwell, whose clients included multinational corporations as well as foreign governments, and whose big money deals shaped the destiny of the planet. In a high profile career which spanned two World Wars as well as the Cold War, Dulles was also a director of the Central Intelligence Agency and a director of the Council on Foreign Relations. Most importantly, Dulles was a moral, intellectual and physical cripple. His philandering was notorious. His acquiescence to the wishes of his masters - the Anglo-American Establishment - is a matter of historical record. And ironically, he also had a club foot, like Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the director of the CIA's Technical Services Division, responsible for the Agency's diabolical mind control programs. James Srodes, author of Allen Dulles: Master of Spies, has produced a sanitized whitewash of a biography, completely avoiding Dulles's culpability in his many heinous crimes against humanity. During Dulles's tenure, after all, the CIA continuously used people as involuntary human guinea pigs. In their hubris, the arrogant spymasters believed they were accountable to no one, the lives of their victims mere Olympian playthings. This dysfunctional mindset of the power elite is the psychopathology of Dulles himself and many others who consider themselves the movers and shakers of the twentieth century. Nazis Bankrolled By Wall Street With blithe disregard, Srodes downplays the importance of the collusion between Big Business and Big Government, writing, "there is little doubt that a close relationship between the State Department and the senior partners of Sullivan Cromwell suited all the parties well... Questions of conflicts of interest rarely arose in a time when the interests of commerce and government were so closely allied." Closely allied? That's Srodes oh-so-quaint way of saying that the Old Boys Club infested the highest levels of government as well as business. Most bothersome, however, is Srodes's dedicated ignorance of the build-up of the Nazi War Machine by Wall Street investment bankers. For instance, in dealing with the Schroeder bank's involvement with financing Hitler, Srodes is disingenous at best. He claims that it was a "different" Schroeder bank because of the different spelling of the surname, even though the name was anglicized in its British incarnation. "There never was any proof that Sullivan or Cromwell or the Dulles Brothers of the London Schroeder Bank ever had ties to or dealings with von Schroeder," huffs Srodes. Srodes's disinformational biography disregards well known facts recounted in former Hoover Institution scholar Antony C. Sutton's landmark history, Wall Street And The Rise Of Hitler. "Who was Schroeder?" asks Sutton in his book. "Baron Kurt von Schroeder was born in Hamburg in 1889 into an old established German banking family. An earlier member of the Schroeder family moved to London, changed his name to Schroder (without the dierisis) and organized the banking firm of J. Henry Schroder in London and J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation in New York." In his well-documented story of the American financiers who provided the money and material Hitler used to launch World War II, Dr. Sutton recounts how Nazi Baron Kurt von Schroeder "acted as a conduit for I.T.T. money funneled to Heinrich Himmler's S.S. organization in 1944, while World War II was in progress and the United States was at war with Germany." Furthermore, in recent correspondence with this author, Dr. Sutton writes that "New York was so determined to conceal the WWII links that a vice president of New York Schroeder Bank (Bogdan) was put in uniform and sent to Germany to grab the [incriminating] paperwork before US troops even reached Cologne." The American subsidiary of the notorious Nazi firm I.G. Farben, called American I.G., was under the control of an American citizen named Halbach, nominally a consultant to the firm. When his bank accounts were blocked after Pearl Harbor, Sutton writes, "Halbach filed suit against the Alien Property Custodian through the Establishment law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell to oust the US Government from its control of I.G. Farben companies. These suits were unsuccessful, but Halbach was successful in keeping the Farben cartel agreements intact through World War II." "This tells me someone even today wants to keep history concealed," says Sutton. "The work of the Control Commission for Germany would be a very productive research project." Dulles And The Wilson Puppet In spite of himself, Srodes lets the truth slip out during unguarded moments. For

-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave "Years before he became House Speaker, Newt Gingrich wrote the foreword to an official U.S. Air Force book that described how electromagnetic weapons can be used to subjugate U.S. citizens who oppose the policies of the Federal government. The publication, titled 'Low Intensity Conflict and Modern Technology' (Lt. Col. David J. Dean, USAF, Editor), contained a chapter written by Capt. Paul Tyler that deals with electromagnetic, (so-called) non-lethal and psychotronic weapons." "HAARP's Demonic Powers" Excerpt from 'Youth Action News' July 1996 Issue The HAARP antenna array, named the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), will grow to 360 antennas. The 9/95 'Popular Science' reported that HAARP's "proprietary phased-array transmitting, steering, and pulsing techniques built into the IRI, will permit rapid aiming of the radio-frequency beam in any direction and at angles as low as 30 degrees above the horizon." Additionally, HAARP will have "1.7 gigawatts (1.7 BILLION WATTS) of effective radiated power in the 2.8 to 10 MHz frequency range and "might cause lasting damage to the Earth's upper atmosphere. By comparison, the energy level is more than 3,000 times greater than the biggest commercial AM radio transmitters." In the 440-page HAARP environmental impact study, the U.S. Government admits the extreme grave threat that HAARP can pose. 'Popular Science' reported that HAARP's "...IRI transmissions can raise the internal body temperature of nearby people, ignite road flares in the trunks of cars, detonate aerial munitions that use electronic fuses, and scramble aircraft communications, navigation, and flight control systems." HAARP: PSYCHOTRONIC CONTROL TOOL OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER HAARP's space-generated ELF waves, coming back down to the earth, can be utilized in many different ways, such as communicating with submarines or creating harmful biological and mental effects upon a specifically targeted population. HAARP can also be utilized in a system of earth-penetrating tomography, for locating hidden underground bunkers in enemy territory or the buried arms, survival supplies, and valuable coins buried by U.S. patriots and militias. The 1/96 'Progressive Magazine' reported that a 1995 article, "Non-Lethal Technology and Airpower", in the 'Air Command and Staff College's Airpower Journal', describes how so-called non-lethal psychotronic and electromagnetic weapons will be used against civilians: "In the very near future, it will become clear that non-lethal methods have applicability across the entire spectrum of conflict, including crime and terrorism..." "In this research paper, the authors reveal for the first time, the U.S. military is developing high-powered microwave weapons for use against human beings" (which is one of the hidden goals of the HAARP transmitters). Such "microwave weapons are almost uniquely intrusive" (especially when they are pulsed at ELF frequencies). "They do not simply attack a person's body, they reach all the way into a person's mind...They are meant to disorient or upset mental stability." The Soviets aimed one of these weapons at the American Embassy in Moscow for years and caused enormous physical and emotional damage amongst the Americans working there. It is thus shocking to see the U.S. military now preparing, with the help of the Justice Department, to use such electromagnetic totalitarian zapping devices against American civilians. Years before he became House Speaker, Newt Gingrich wrote the foreword to an official U.S. Air Force book that described how electromagnetic weapons can be used to subjugate U.S. citizens who oppose the policies of the Federal government. The publication, titled 'Low Intensity Conflict and Modern Technology' (Lt. Col. David J. Dean, USAF, Editor), contained a chapter written by Capt. Paul Tyler that deals with electromagnetic, (so-called) non-lethal and psychotronic weapons. Because of the strong support for using the U.S. military against civilians (as clearly demonstrated by recent anti-terrorist legislation), this Air Force publication (and its relationship to HAARP) is very significant. Capt. Tyler stated: "The potential applications of artificial electromagnetic fields are wide-ranging and can be used in many military or quasi-military situations. ...Some of these potential uses include dealing with terrorist groups" (as currently defined by the Clinton administration), "crowd control, and...antipersonnel techniques in tactical warfare. In all cases, the electromagnetic systems would be used to produce mild to severe physiological disruption or perceptual distortion or disorientation" (psychotronic weapons application). "In addition, the ability of individuals to function could be degraded to such a point that they would be combat ineffective. Another advantage of electromagnetic systems is that they provide coverage over large areas with a
[CTRL] HAARP, radar rings, earthquakes, more
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave RADAR EVIDENCE Researcher Kent Steadman of the CyberSpace ORBIT website noted the following, concerning weather radar systems that have beeen picking up phenomena which appear to be electromagnetic/radio frequency in nature: which have preceded the development of unusually severe weather; which also definitely correlate with eathquakes, and possibly correlate to highly troubling events indicative of mind control operations such as the mass murder in Jonesboro Ark. ORBIT Pulsed: radar rings over Jonesboro Kent Steadman, Editor The weather radar systems referred to (and displayed on the above website) may have been picking up HAARP transmissions, the "Silent Sound" transmissions noted by Alex Constantine, or perhaps both! Perhaps Silent Sound is being used in conjunction with HAARP. Whichever, I find it just about impossible to believe that it was some coincidence that these totally unnatural concentric circular energy patterns and other unnatural formations such as perfectly straight lines showed up on radar exactly where unbelievably severe weather conditions occurred, and also where the terrible violence of the Jonesboro massacre occurred, knowing what we know about EM/RF weather modification and mind control operations. These radar systems have been registering electromagnetic disturbances which are directly connected to seismic activity as well, which may indicate even more malevolent operations using HAARP technology. Quake City One of the more covert of HAARP's seemingly countless agendas is that HAARP transmissions can be used for detecting and monitoring electromagnetic or plasma phenomena which are precursors of seismic activity and tectonic movement; indications are that HAARP transmissions can be (and conceivably ARE BEING) used to activate or TRIGGER exactly these same electromagnetic conditions which can cause tectonic movement-- in other words, HAARP potentially has the ability to cause EARTHQUAKES! Certainly such a capability is equally as disturbing as nearly everything else about HAARP, and judging by how other of the technology's capabilities have been applied, it will also likely ' be applied in a similarly malevolent manner. I don't really even ' want to follow that line of thinking too far, but the implications are clear--and very frightening. Think we have a problem here? Well, I sure do. It seems that HAARP signals are being picked up by weather radar systems as referred to above. This has been noted in conjunction with some unusual earthquake activity as well; notably at the China Lakes Naval Air Warfare Center in Southern California, where the quakes have been numbering around 100 per day for weeks now and radar images have often shown what seem to be major weather disturbances-- yet concurrently the weather satellite shots of the area and local weather conditions reports prove that the skies at these times have been generally calm and clear! Something similar occurred on Easter Sunday in the Carolinas. It looked from the radar shots as though the area was being pounded by massive tornadic activity, yet the skies were clear and the atmospheric conditions generally calm. The next day, however, guess what--a sizable and unargueably rare earthquake hit this exact region! Yet one more item on the list of HAARP's covert agendas and applications: Detection of electromagnetic seismic activity which may precede earthquakes -- and triggering of such activity. It is becoming very apparent that the radar systems are picking up electromagnetic perturbances which not only don't correlate to observed actual weather conditions but display totally unnatural formations like perfect circles (often concentric), perfectly straight lines, etc. This same phenomenon, often in conjunction with tremendous and historically unheard-of rainstorms has also been observed in Western Australia, where the concentric electromagnetic energy pulses accompanying the fronts have been so severe as to totally knock out the power grids in the region--exactly what happened in Aukland, New Zealand earlier this year, when the entire heart of the city was without power for months after their electrical grid was literally fried by these EM pulse waves. It bears repeating here that some scientists believe that HAARP, especially at it's current extraordinary levels of power, is quite capable of generating such highly advanced, esoteric phenomena as gravity waves; the ability implement interdimensional/time bending, distortion, shifting, rifting and the like would be along the same lines. More and more, the emerging picture of HAARP is that of an extremely severe and very disturbing threat to our wellbeing here on Planet Earth; currently perhaps on of the very biggest threats technologically. This really seems to be their Big Gun, capable of being applied in nearly every imaginable and exceptionally undesirable way. HAARP technology appears well
[CTRL] Towards Ultimate CONTROL
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave Towards Ultimate CONTROL The Jan. 11-17, 1993 issue of DEFENSE NEWS reported that U.S. political and military officials are obtaining Soviet mind-control technology. The Soviet KGB "capability, demonstrated in a series of laboratory experiments dating back to the mid-1970's, could be used to suppress riots, CONTROL DISSIDENTS, demoralize or disable opposing forces and enhance the performance of friendly special operations teams, sources say." The 4\94 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN reported that Janet E. Morris and her husband Christopher C. Morris "have been involved in promoting a 'psycho-correction' technology, developed by a Russian scientist, that is INTENDED TO INFLUENCE BY MEANS OF SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES EMBEDDED IN SOUND OR VISUAL IMAGES." In 1993, "the Morrises organized a meeting in which the technology was demonstrated for U.S. scientists and officials by its Russian inventor." Defense news reported that on Dec. 15, 1992, Janet Morris stated that she and the Richmond, Virginia-based International Health-line Corporation "have briefed senior U.S. intelligence and Army officials about the Russian capabilities, which Morris said could include hand-held devices for purposes of special operations, crowd control and anti-personal actions." Morris reported that this particular weapon creates "BONE-CONDUCTING SOUND WAVES that cannot be offset by protective gear. These devices appear to work at the Very Low Frequency (VLF) spectrum, the same frequency range as generated by the sinister U.S. Gwen (Ground Wave Emergency Network) system of transmitters. DEFENSE ELECTRONICS reported that a Richmond, Virginia firm, Psychotechnologies (believed to be closely tied to the CIA and the FBI) has purchased the American rights to the Soviet mind-control devices. The 4\94 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN reported: "Federal researchers are now investigating a broad array of non-lethal devices including...LOW-FREQUENCY 'INFRASOUND' GENERATORS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO TRIGGER NAUSEA OR DIARRHEA,...electronics-disrupting pulses of electromagnetic radiation..and biological agents that can chew up crops." To help promote the U.N. global dictatorship, Soviet KGB scientist have recently been working at various U.S. advanced weapons facilities, such as Lawrence Liverpool and Los Alamos Laboratories. In November, 1993, a three day top-secret non-lethal weapons conference took place in the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. The meeting was attended by Attorney General Janet Reno, numerous scientist, military weapons experts, intelligence officials from state and local police departments. The main purposes of the meeting was to prepare leading law enforcement officials for the use of psychotronic mind-control weapons. Amongst the subjects covered at the conference were "RADIO-FREQUENCY WEAPONS, HIGH POWERED MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY, ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY" (used to transmit subliminal voices into a victims head), VOICE SYNTHESIS, and APPLICATION OF EXTREME FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS TO NON-LETHAL WEAPONS." Col. John B. Alexander, Program Manager for Non-Lethal (psychotronic) Defense, Los Alamos National Laboratory, served as PRESENT DAY, U.S.Government use of electromagnetic weapons was described conference chairman. in the Oct-Nov., 94 NEXUS MAGAZINE: "Directed-energy weapons currently being deployed include, for example, a micro-wave weapon manufactured by Lockheed-Sanders and used for a process known as 'Voice Synthesis' which is REMOTE BEAMING OF AUDIO (i.e., VOICES OR OTHER AUDIBLE SIGNALS) DIRECTLY INTO THE BRAIN OF ANY SELECTED HUMAN TARGET. This process is also known within the U.S. Government as "Synthetic Telepathy ." This psychotronic weapon was demonstrated by Dr. Dave Morgan at the November, 1993 Non-Lethal weapons conference. The 3\23\94 WASHINGTON POST reported: "The Pentagon and the Justice Department have agreed to share state-of-the-art military technology with civilian law enforcement agencies, including exotic 'non-lethal' weapons." In March, 1993, the National Institute of Justice [NIJ]--(an office of Janet Reno's Justice Department), issued a report titled: "NIJ Initiative On Less-Than-Lethal Weapons." The Department is now encouraging local and state police organizations to utilize Soviet-KGB psychotronic, electromagnetic and mind control weapons against their local citizenry. Targets for these KGB weapons include "domestic disturbances" meaning that mind-control devices are even to be utilized against family arguments. The reports stated: "Short-term research will be completed TO ADOPT MILITARY TECHNOLOGIES TO USE BY DOMESTIC LAW ENFORCEMENT...including LASER, MICROWAVE, AND ELECTROMAGNETIC" WEAPONS.

-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave From: Rangoon Post Co-Editor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: The Rangoon Post by Stewart Taggart 3:00 a.m. 04.Dec.99.PDT SYDNEY, Australia -- Any data seem different on your computer today? If you're in Australia, the government has the ability to modify your files. Its cyber spooks have been given legal power not only to monitor private computers around the country, but to change the data they contain. The new powers are contained in a bill passed by Australia's parliament late last month (the Australian Security Intelligence Organization Legislation Amendment 1999). They now await only the largely ceremonial assent of Australia's governor general before becoming law. "These are really untested waters," says Chris Connolly, a vocal Australian privacy advocate. "I don't think there's any example anywhere else in the world that's comparable." Under the new law, Australia's attorney general can authorize legal hacking into private computer systems, as well as copying or altering data, as long as he has reasonable cause to believe it's relevant to a "security matter." The keyboard spies will come from the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO), Australia's equivalent of the Central Intelligence Agency. Catherine Fitzpatrick, spokeswoman for Attorney General Daryl Williams, said the law merely "modernizes" an existing 1979 statute that previously governed ASIO, and sorely needed updating. "This just brings ASIO's powers in line with new technologies," she said. "It doesn't give them increased powers at all." For example, the new law bars sleuths from introducing viruses or interfering with data used for lawful purposes on targeted computers, she said. In addition, the bill limits the power to alter data on a computer to concealing surveillance, she said. While all this is true, the bill also specifically authorizes -- among other things -- anything that's "reasonably incidental." And it's broad wording like this -- as well as the weak oversight of the nation's cyber spies -- that have opponents aghast. "I hate to use the word 'Orwellian,' but I can't think of anything better to describe this," said Greg Taylor, vice chairman of Electronic Frontiers Australia. "This is another stop down the path of legalized surveillance of all information by authorities," he said. Taylor believes the new law could be especially damaging to people's faith in encrypted communications, because government hackers could potentially lift encryption keys from individual computers. "This bill seems to get around the problems that strong cryptography presents law enforcement," Taylor said. "Now, they can attack the problem at the source -- the originating computer -- before the data even gets encrypted." In addition, the new law could introduce tricky new issues into legal cases, he said. "It opens to question all computer evidence if there's been the potential for legalized tampering of it. Computer evidence already poses problems of validation, and that's before you even open up these legal avenues of tampering." Connolly, as director of Australia's Financial Services Consumer Policy Center and national coordinator of the Campaign for Fair Privacy Laws, spoke out against the proposed legislation in a parliamentary submission earlier this year. "Australia doesn't really need an intelligence agency with dictatorial powers," he said. "People here largely trust the federal police to deal with most matters, and the police are subject to more controls and supervision by judges than ASIO is." He believes the government hastily pushed the bill through parliament using, among other things, national nervousness about the approaching Sydney Olympics to convince parliamentarians to go along. He thinks ASIO's expanded powers clearly go too far, and were sought by an agency seeking a new role after the Cold War. To Brian Greig, a West Australian senator from the populist Democrats Party -- which voted against the bill -- the law now tilts the balance of power between the individual and government too far in favor of government. "If we're going to expand ASIO's surveillance powers, we should have expanded equally the rights and liberties of individuals to be protected from that," he said. "My suspicion is that citizens of other countries wouldn't have been so apathetic about an issue like this." As Australia's fourth largest political party, the Democrats could only voice concern about the proposed law. Both the ruling Liberal-National party coalition and the opposition Labor Party both voted to pass the measure. Under the new system, a citizen's most likely recourse if he feels improperly snooped would be to complain to the attorney general -- who authorized the snooping in the first place, or to the inspector general of intelligence and security, a government watchdog that conducts periodic reviews of ASIO's activities, Connolly said.
[CTRL] PROMIS: Israeli Spy Cover-Up Crumbles
-Caveat Lector- http://www.umsl.edu/~skthoma/things.htm http://www.umsl.edu/~skthoma/ More on PROMIS: Israeli Spy Cover-Up Crumbles By Jack Colhoun, from www.consortiumnews.com On Nov. 3, 1989, Ari Ben-Menashe was taking a shower at a friend's house in Los Angeles when the police arrived. They ordered the dripping-wet Israeli to step out of the shower. After letting Ben-Menashe dress, the police took the stunned world traveler into custody. He was charged with violating the U.S. Arms Export Control Act by trying to sell three C-130 transport planes to Iran with a false end-user certificate. Ben-Menashe would later describe his reaction to his arrest as disbelief. He considered himself a significant player in the world of intelligence, skipping around the globe for more than a decade, putting together arms deals that the Israeli government favored and disrupting those that Israel opposed. Though little understood at the time, the arrest also created a dangerous moment for a slew of top-secret U.S. and Israeli intelligence operations. Behind the scenes, Israeli officials understood that Ben-Menashe's knowledge could be a serious threat, according to Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad, a new book by British author Gordon Thomas. Israeli leaders knew from debriefing legendary spymaster, Rafi Eitan, that Ben-Menashe had worked on some of Israel's most sensitive projects, Thomas reported based on his own interviews with Eitan. "Rafi Eitan [told his Israeli debriefers] that Ari Ben-Menashe was in a position to blow wide open the U.S./Israeli arms-to-Iran network whose tentacles had extended everywhere: down to Central and South America, through London, into Australia, across to Africa, deep into Europe," Thomas wrote. Indeed, Ben-Menashe possessed information that, if corroborated, could have shaken U.S.-Israeli relations and possibly destroyed the reputation of the sitting president of the United States, George Bush. But Ben-Menashe kept quiet initially, assuming that the embarrassing arrest would be reversed. After he was transferred to the federal prison in New York City, Ben-Menashe waited for the Israeli government to set matters straight and arrange for his release. Ben-Menashe soon discovered, however, that the Israeli government would not be coming to his rescue. So, finding himself in deep trouble and on his own, Ben-Menashe decided to talk with a few American reporters about what he knew. He began to tell a complex tale of international intrigue and arms-trafficking that involved top Israelis and senior U.S. officials. Ben-Menashe's most dramatic claim was his insistence that he spotted Bush at a Paris meeting with Iranians in October 1980 as part of a covert Republican scheme to torpedo President Carter's negotiations for freeing 52 Americans then held hostage in Iran. Ben-Menashe also implicated senior CIA official Robert Gates in the so-called "October Surprise" controversy as well as the Likud government of Menachem Begin, who apparently feared that a second Carter term would lead to a Palestinian state. [See David Kimches The Last Option.] Beyond the Iran caper, Ben-Menashe dished up other juicy secrets. He described a clandestine U.S. policy to funnel weapons via Chile to Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Ben-Menashe also claimed knowledge of Israeli intelligence penetration of the U.S. government at top levels, Israel's use of press magnate Robert Maxwell as a spy, and the distribution of rigged computer software to extract secrets from other governments. All told, Ben-Menashe's accounts represented what could have been a major intelligence breach for both the Israeli and U.S. governments. If true, his information would literally rewrite the history of the Reagan-Bush era and expose President Bush, in particular, to charges of collaborating with Iranian terrorists to fix the outcome of the U.S. presidential election in 1980. As the scope of Ben-Menashe's disclosures sank in, the Israeli government initiated a campaign to discredit him. Government officials began telling Israeli journalists that Ben-Menashe was "an imposter" who was fabricating his claims of official Israeli connections. In a typical account, The Jerusalem Post quoted an "authoritative" source as stating that "the Defence establishment 'never had any contacts with Ari Ben-Menashe and his activities'." [The Jerusalem Post, March 27, 1990] That initial cover story, however, crumbled when reporter Robert Parry obtained internal Israeli documents revealing that Ben-Menashe had worked from 1977-87 for an arm of Israeli military intelligence, called the External Relations Department. Faced with those documents, the Israeli government retreated, admitting that the documents were real and that Ben-Menashe indeed had worked for Israeli intelligence. But authorities in Tel Aviv still tried to minimize Ben-Menashe's importance. The Israeli government and the Bush administration grew more nervous after

What is the Blue Beam Project? by David Openheimer It involves two things. A technologically simulated "second coming" and the reemmrgence of new "MONTAUK" type projects that have the ability to take up a whole bunch of people as in a "rapture" type of situation and whisk the whole bunch into never-never land. Ironically, portions of the holographic projections have the potential for changing the planet into oneness with God. Unfortunately, this operates on the premise that Man shall somehow become God in human form and control other Men and dictate all actions and thoughts. The calculated resistance to the new religion, the New World Order and the new "Messiah" will entail human loss on a massive scale in the ensuing "holy wars".The "BLUE BEAM PROJECT" will pretend to be the universal fulfillment of the prophecies of old; as major an event as that which took place 2000 years ago. In principle, it will make use of the sky as a holographic projection screen for space-based laser-generating satellites (star wars). These projectors will project simultaneous images to the four corners of the planet, in every language by region. It deals with the religious aspect of the NEW WORLD ORDER. The "system" has already been tested. Holographic projections of the "CHRIST IMAGE" have already been seen in some remote desert areas. These have only been reported in tabloid papers, so they are instantly rendered moot. They can also project images of alien craft, aliens, monsters, angels - you name it. Computers will coordinate the satellites and software will run the show-and-tell. Hollography is based on very nearly identical signals combining to produce and image, or hologram, with depth perception. This is equally applicable to acoustic (ELF,VLF,LF) waves as it is to optical phenomena. Specifically, the "show" will consist of laser projections of multiple holographic images to different parts of the planet, each receiving different images according to the predominating regional religious faith. Not a single area will be excluded. With computer animation and sound effects appearing to come from the depths of space, astonished followers of the various creeds will witness their own returned Messiah in spectacularly convincing lifelike realness. The various images of Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, etc., will merge into ONE after "correct explanation" of the mysteries, prophecies and revelations are disclosed. This "ONE GOD" will in fact function as the "Anti-Christ", who will "explain" that the various scriptures "have been misunderstood"- that the religious of old are responsible for turning brother against brother, nation against nation - that the religions of the world must be abolished to make way for the GOLDEN AGE (NEW AGE) of the One World Religion, representing the One God they see before them. Naturally, this superbly staged, full-scale production will result in social and religious disorder on a massive scale. Wonder what the television transmitters of religious networks will be doing on that day ? But before all this, they have to go through four different steps in order to get to Project Blue Beam. 1: The first step concerns the breakdown of all archaological knowledge. It deals with staging earthquakes at certain precise locations around the planet where supposed new "discoveries" will finally explain (for them) that the meanings of the basic doctrines of all the world`s major religions are "wrong." This falsification will be used to make the population believe that all religious doctrine has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. The falsification started with the film 2001: A Space Odessy, the TV-series STAR TREK, the STAR WARS films, E.T., all of which deal with space "invasion" and "protection". JURASSIC PARK, was to push the theory of evolution. 2: The second step deals with the gigantic space show: 3D optical holograms and sounds, laser projections of multiple holographic images in different parts of the world, each receiving a different image, according to its

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.

-Caveat Lector- Stratfor [ http://www.stratfor.com/ ], an organization that posts its "intel analysis" on the Net, claims that orgs, like itself, have the potential, if not ability, to affect/impact world politics. At issue was whether Stratfor's analysis affected Philippine politics. They think so. The Phillipine press supposedly used their "analysis." And, allegations that Stratfor was involved, against the incumbent President, have run rampant. In its current "alert" [6 Dec 99], Stratfor writes: ...This leads us to reflect on two strange but real phenomena. First, there is the ability of organizations on the Internet to have unpredictable impact around the world. Second, there is the strange isolation in which such incidents take place. . .snip ...Traditionally, the sensitive stuff of intelligence forecasting is secret - and as a result the impact of intelligence has been diluted. It has been limited to policymakers, intelligence specialists, generals and carefully managed leaks. Instead, Stratfor publishes it on the World Wide Web every day. But our forecasts are decidedly public. And in that realm, it is entirely possible for intelligence analysis to be swept up into the events that are being analyzed. It is clear to us: the analysis is informed by the reality of the situation. We view ourselves as outside, disinterested observers. . .snip ...The point is that there is a new architecture to the global information system that will allow many Stratfors to comment on many countries that are used to being ignored. That changes the way politics is done in many of these countries. . .snip End of excerpt Question is, how many other "Stratfors" are there?

-Caveat Lector- FYI... "Charles J. Reid" wrote: Dear Editors: We know that editors are choke points in getting the truth out to the American people. Last week the biggest story was not "Wireless Wonders" you had on your cover. We've known about technical developments in this area for more than two years. The biggest story of the week was the WTO battle in Seattle. You chose to downplay it. That's a reflection of the un-American press attitude you mainstream mags have. Sugar-up the people, and soften the blow of future erosion of their rights and quality of life -- on average, except for the 10,000 new millionaires in the Seattle area, of course, in this country of 260 million people. I shall let my subscription to your magazine lapse. You're all running a basically chicken-shit operation, afraid to take on the tough issues. (And the Clinton/Lewinski story was just soap-opera compared to issues like the WTO, whose interests groups you guys serve and suck up to.) We Americans pray for the day when you get a cadre of editors with balls to take on the institutional criminal elements in this country, including those controlling the marketplace. Most in the know believe it'll never happen. I suspect the new Millennium will bring new attitude toward solving the problems you folks help perpetuate. Our mainstream editors who make up the news choke points are destroying America. Pass this on to your good investogative journalists. I suspect many will agree with the point of view expressed in the message. Charles J. Reid Freelance Writer Santa Cruz, CA -- A.C.

STRATFOR.COM's Global Intelligence Update - December 7, 1999 By The Internet's Most Intelligent Source of International News Analysis http://www.stratfor.com/ _ WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR WORLD? China: the Wild Card in Taiwan's Election http://www.stratfor.com/asia/commentary/m9912062245.htm Gadhafi's African Influence Attracts Europe http://www.stratfor.com/MEAF/commentary/m9912062205.htm FIND OUT AT http://www.stratfor.com/ __ STRATFOR.COM Global Intelligence Update December 7, 1999 Yeltsin Recovers - Long Enough to Ask for China's Support Summary On Dec. 6, the government of Russian President Boris Yeltsin announced that he had recovered enough from a bout of pneumonia to hold a long-awaited informal summit with Chinese President Jiang Zemin in Beijing. The president's sudden recovery and the summit coincide with the intensification of Russian military operations in Chechnya, particularly a new ultimatum to the people of Grozny. Russia is making a final bid to gain international political support in anticipation of a renewed offensive against Grozny. Analysis Russian President Boris Yeltsin was released from the hospital Dec. 6 following a week-long stay for a respiratory infection. Following his release, the Kremlin announced that Yeltsin will attend an informal summit with Chinese President Jiang Zemin in Beijing December 8-10. The meeting between the two leaders has largely been ignored by the West but widely anticipated both in Russia and China. And throughout the autumn it has been repeatedly and inexplicably postponed. The sudden visit by Yeltsin to Beijing is not likely to be a mere coincidence. Indeed, it appears to be an attempt by Russia to guarantee political backing from China for what it is about to do: make a concerted and unpopular push in the conflict in Chechnya. The announcement of the summit came as the Russian military issued an ultimatum to civilians and rebels alike in Grozny, the Chechen capital, warning that if they fail to leave by Dec. 11 they will be "annihilated with air and artillery bombardments." Yeltsin's visit to China suggests urgency. It has been postponed several times this year. He has canceled or postponed other international trips, such as the one to Japan, which implies the importance Moscow places on China's support. The Russian Duma elections are just two weeks away, and stories of Russian casualties have leaked out of Chechnya. Russia is likely concerned that its apparent intention to flatten Grozny will trigger a backlash from Islamic fundamentalists, particularly terrorist organizations. Opposition to the war is growing among Islamic nations, unconvinced by Moscow's diplomatic campaign to emphasize that the rebels are terrorists and that religion has nothing to do with the conflict. Fundamentalist clerics in Egypt are calling for a boycott of Russia. The Organization of the Islamic Conference has sent a delegation to Moscow and called for a peaceful solution to the war in Chechnya. If Russia and China share a worry, it is the prospect of increased terrorism and separatism in Central Asia. Moscow is also likely to try to enlist China's support during what will surely be an even more trying economic period. Because of the war in Chechnya, the West has threatened to withhold the next disbursement of International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans. Without the $640 million, Russia cannot pay off previous loans ( http://www.stratfor.com/cis/commentary/c9912020015.htm ). More important, if Russia defaults, it stands to lose the future confidence of foreign investors. The Russian government may be warning Beijing that it will forego the money to wage the war in Chechnya and is telling the Chinese government to brace itself for economic turmoil. Or Moscow may be trying to signal the Chinese leadership that economic ties will continue - regardless of what the West and the IMF do. On Dec. 1, Russian oil giant Yukos signed a deal with China that will double the amount of exported Russian oil. ITAR-Tass reported that Yeltsin and Jiang will discuss a proposed gas pipeline, which would bring Russia $2 billion to $3 billion annually. Like Moscow, Beijing does not want to see the West continue to intervene in internal separatist struggles. Russia appears to be engaged in a broad effort to shore up international political and economic ties in advance of a renewed assault on Grozny. Until recently, Yeltsin has been too ill to talk to visiting dignitaries. But Yeltsin rose from his sickbed to meet with Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma - and offered to restructure Ukraine's $1.8 billion debt for Russian gas. Yeltsin is also scheduled to sign the treaty for Russia-Belarus unification before heading to China. As well, Moscow has recently reinforced ties with India. This meeting between Yeltsin and Jiang is only a precursor to re- defining the broader relationship between Russia
