[CTRL] Pantless Jail Guard Had Viagra in Car

   Police: Pantless Jail Guard Had Viagra in Car
   Man Faces DUI Charge After Traffic Stop

   Dec. 28, 1999

   By Richard Zitrin

   FORD CITY, Pa. (APBnews.com) -- A part-time county
   jail guard who got caught in his car with a Viagra pill
   and his pants down was allegedly driving drunk,
   authorities said today.

   The guard, Matthew Serene, told APBnews.com that
   too much is being made about the incident, which he
   blamed on recurring problems with a Ford City police
   officer.

   Serene, 25, was charged Monday with driving under
   the influence and possession of drug paraphernalia,
   according to Armstrong County Jail Warden William
   Laughner.

   Serene is accused of having a blood-alcohol content
   of .105 -- just above the state's legal limit of .10 for
   drunken driving -- when he was pulled over Aug. 7,
   police Chief Jan Lysakowski said.

   Police: drugs in system

   Lysakowski said Serene was not charged until
   Monday because police were awaiting the result of a
   blood test. The test, performed at the state police
   crime laboratory in Greensburg, showed Serene
   allegedly had marijuana and cocaine in his system that
   day, Laughner said.

   When Serene was stopped for DUI four months ago,
   he was driving in his boxer shorts and had a Viagra pill
   -- medication used to treat impotence -- in the vehicle.
   Serene said he was in his underwear because he had
   spilled a drink on his pants and had taken them off. He
   also said he was driving his father's car, and that his
   father, David, has a prescription for Viagra.

   "As far as I know, that's not really a crime," Serene told
   APBnews.com. "And to me, boxers are a pair of shorts.
   Come on, now."

   Serene, who said his attorney, Jack Heim, advised
   him not to comment on the case, said he and others in
   the community have had problems with the officer who
   arrested him, Jason Hufhand. The officer could not be
   reached for comment.

   Heim also refused to comment.

   'A clean-cut kid'

   Warden Laughner called Serene "a clean-cut kid" and
   said the part-time jail guard, who has worked for the
   county for about six weeks, is not suspended, but that
   he has been taken off the work schedule at the jail
   until his case is resolved.

   "He's innocent until proven guilty," Laughner said.

[CTRL] Chicago Tells Cops: No Guns in the Box

Chicago Tells Cops: No Guns in the Box
Order Follows Shootout During Interrogation

   Dec. 21, 1999

   By Janet Prasad

 CHICAGO (APBnews.com) --
 Something really scary happened
 in the Wentworth Area Police
 Station on Halloween weekend --
 and it has led Chicago police to
 bar cops from carrying guns in
 some areas in their own
 stationhouses.

 On Oct. 30, Reginald Cole, 38,
 was taken to the South Side
 police station from an Illinois
 prison where he was serving a
 10-year sentence for armed
   robbery because investigators wanted to question him
   about a murder, authorities said.

   Cole asked the detective if they could talk someplace
   he could not be overheard, and the officer moved him
   out of an interrogation room into a small office.

   That's when Cole grabbed a 7-inch paper spike off a
   desk and lunged at the detective, then grabbed the
   officer's gun and fired.

   The prisoner missed his target, and he turned the gun
   on himself and fired. At the shot, other officers ran into
   the room and fired at Cole. Simultaneously, authorities
   said, Cole fired the officer's gun into his own mouth.
   The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office ruled
   Cole's death a suicide.

   Dec. 3, the department set a new policy -- no guns in
   interrogation rooms.

   'Like putting on a pair of shoes'

   "It wasn't that there was a policy to wear them, just
   that there wasn't a policy not to wear them. People just
   wore them if they felt like it," said a Wentworth
   detective who asked to remain anonymous. "Some
   people just had it on because they've been wearing it
   for so many years ... it's like putting on a pair of
   shoes."

   Officers in suburban departments applauded
   Chicago's decision, saying the safest way to interview
   a suspect is without a weapon.

   Sgt. Mike McNamara, a detective in south suburban
   Park Forest, said his department has had a
   long-standing policy keeping guns out of
   interrogations. A bank of lock boxes on the opposite
   end of the hall from the interview room ensures
   weapons are secure.

   Surprised that Chicago did not have the no-weapons
   policy before, McNamara said he has yet to see a
   suburban department that does not have a policy
   regarding weapons in processing areas.

   "I can understand the thinking that said you'd want to
   have your gun because these are dangerous people
   and they might try to attack you. But that's exactly why
   you wouldn't want to have it with you," McNamara
   said.

   New holsters guard against gun grabs

   A lot of detectives have older holsters that are not
   equipped with new weapon retention hardware. One
   flip of a thumb and the suspect could have the gun in
   his hand before a distracted investigator has time to
   react.

   "I've watched videos where the prisoners were
   practicing disarming officers in a jail yard, spinning the
   officer around and taking his gun," McNamara said.
   "You don't want to get lulled into a false sense of
   security."

   The Chicago detective agreed.

   "I think that has to do with complacency. You have to
   kind of relax when you talk to these people.
   Sometimes you have got to be friendly to them,
   sometimes we get complacent," he said. "But that's not
   saying that that's what happened in this case, where
   this officer got into trouble."

   Bob Wallace, a spokesman for the National
   Association of Police Chiefs and a former police
   lieutenant in New York state, believes Chicago's
   decision was a good one. Interviewing a suspect
   without guns or other weapons not only protects the
   officer from potential bodily harm, but also eliminates a

Tourists and Terrorists: Giuliani 2000
By Robert Lederman

According to Mayor Rudolph Giuliani Times Square on New
Year’s Eve is the safest place to be in all of New York City
with midtown Manhattan locked down like a giant maximum
security Federal penitentiary.

Aptly named project Archangel, Mayor Darksides’ ominous
security plans include having his imperial troops, eight
thousand uniformed cops, stand guard duty in Times Square
backed up by hundreds of FBI agents, private security guards
and operatives from other Federal agencies. The remainder of
the City’s 40,000 uniformed police officers will take time out
from their Christmas assignment of rounding up and arresting
homeless families to diligently search the subway tunnels and
streets of New York City for potential terrorists and Giuliani
critics.

Roofs in Times Square will be manned by crack teams of
police snipers with night vision scopes mounted on their
high-powered rifles. Every parked car in a mile long three
block wide strip of midtown will be towed to prevent the
deployment of car bombs. The party-going public will be
herded cattle-like through an endless maze of police barricades
and metal detectors and treated to body searches in below zero
temperatures. Many attendees are expected to be arrested on
the way to the event simply for possessing alcohol, a substance
zero-tolerance Giuliani believes often leads to terroristic
anti-social acts such as dancing, solicitation of prostitutes and
public urination.

Manhole covers will be welded shut. Mailboxes will be sealed.
Every garbage can in midtown will be removed. Hundreds of
undercover police officers will be circulating through the
partying crowd disguised as tourists. As they do in Washington
Square Park with marijuana sales officers will run sting
operations, in this case offering to sell high school kids
everything they need to make their own New Year’s bomb and
then busting them as “terrorists”. For the past few weeks the
NYPD has been bribing hundreds of informants in order to get
them to report threatening comments they’ve overheard from
drunks bragging in neighborhood bars or the thinly-veiled
threats of community activists.

Are the enormous expenses of this event and it’s
unprecedented and ultimately futile security precautions worth
the economic and social cost to the taxpayers of New York
City? This is not a Presidential inauguration, the signing of an
international peace treaty or anything of genuine public value
that justifies either the cost or the risks involved. This once
stirring celebration of diversity and democracy has been
reduced to nothing more than a slick ad for Disney, the Times
Square Business Improvement District and the Giuliani for
U.S. Senate campaign.

Watching the ball drop on New Year’s Eve was once an
authentic celebration by actual New Yorkers who traveled by
subway from ethnic neighborhoods in all five boroughs. They
came to share a collective experience in the center of a real
city. Giuliani’s ersatz “party” is closer to Hitler’s 1937
Olympics celebration than the New Year’s event which became
a symbolic celebration of freedom renowned throughout the
world.

Giuliani isn’t celebrating a New Year so much as his cleansing
of New Yorkers and authentic New York culture from Times
Square. The hotdog stands, shoeshine parlors, peep shows,
all-night movie theaters, hookers, hustlers and gritty texture of
a flesh and blood city have been replaced by a sterilized
Mickey Mouse mall every square inch of which has been
tagged with mind-boggling fluorescent graffiti.  This corporate
freakshow on steroids is prowled by an army of black
uniformed cops whose sole mission is to protect tourists from
low income New Yorkers and to uphold the real estate values
of Giuliani’s top contributors.

Aside from terrorists, virtually all of the two million
participants expected to be in Times Square this New Years
Eve will be tourists. No sane New Yorker would venture
anywhere near midtown as Giuliani pulls the lever on his
Police State 2000.

The idea that Adolf Giuliani’s army of poorly trained and
underpaid cops, who are known to despise Furhrer Giuliani,
can somehow prevent a genuine attack by determined terrorists
is ludicrous. Not even the real Hitler with his real Gestapo was
able to prevent acts by determined terrorists. If actual terrorists
wanted to make a big splash in Times Square they could have
securely planted their bombs or gas canisters months ago.

Then what’s the point of Project Archangel, Lucifer-Giuliani’s
aptly named contingency plan to thwart a terrorist attack? Like
the event itself the security arrangements are nothing more than
an advertisement for Emperor

Flu Cases Flood Emergency Rooms

By MICHELLE RUSHLO
.c The Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Linda Lindquist thought things might slow down at
Thunderbird Samaritan Medical Center after the Christmas weekend.

But the flood of sniffly, feverish patients that started flowing into her
emergency room last week has just kept coming and coming.

The hospital turned to extra staff and volunteers to help comfort patients.
And for several days in a row, it's diverted ambulances until it could get
the waiting room under control.

``It's at disastrous levels with the number of people we're seeing,''
Lindquist said. ``Not just in terms of us, everybody is seeing it. We're
overwhelmed.''

Hospitals throughout the Phoenix area are being overrun by patients
complaining of coughs, fevers and sore throats.

Meanwhile, emergency rooms in Southern California and Wisconsin also report
being flooded with flu patients.

Indeed, the flu season nationwide has picked up noticeably in the last couple
of weeks, said Dr. Carolyn Buxton Bridges of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.

It's too early to say for sure, but the flu season looks like it may peak in
January this year - a month earlier than 1998, she said.

Nineteen states reported widespread or regional flu activity during the week
of Dec. 12-18, according to the most recent CDC data. Roughly 3 percent of
doctor visits in the states were related to flu-like symptoms, the agency
said.

The rate was 6 percent in the Southwest and Pacific states.

With many doctors' offices closed for the holiday weekend, patients turned to
hospitals for treatment in a ``tidal wave,'' said Dr. Joseph Kezele, a
physician at Thunderbird.

In some Phoenix-area emergency rooms, flu patients had to wait 12 to 18 hours
to see a doctor. Others couldn't get hospital beds, even when their physician
called.

Walter Adams, 76, was trying to get admitted to Thunderbird for the second
day in a row on Tuesday.

He and his 74-year-old wife both went to their doctor's office on Monday with
fevers and coughing. Adams' wife was admitted to the hospital Monday night,
but no bed was available for him.

On Tuesday, he waited for admission in a triage bed.

``When I get a cough, it just tears me up,'' he said, clutching its metal
rails.

Last week, Southern California hospitals, including those in Los Angeles,
Orange and San Diego counties, were rerouting patients while they dealt with
packed rooms.

Reporting statewide outbreaks in December were Montana, Utah and Washington.

Those reporting concentrated outbreaks were Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii,
Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.




[CTRL] Fwd: Pentagon Grants Felons Security Clearances

1999-12-29 Thread Kris Millegan





Report: Felons Get Security Grants

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - A Pentagon agency regularly grants security clearances
to employees of defense contractors who have long histories of financial
problems, drug use, alcoholism, sexual misconduct or criminal activity, USA
Today reported.

Citing its own survey of more than 1,500 cases, the paper said in today's
editions that applicants have been given sensitive clearances despite
repeatedly lying about past misconduct to Defense Department investors.

In other instances, contractor employees involved in significant criminal
frauds were granted clearances, as were applicants who had violated state and
federal laws by not filing income tax returns for several years, the report
said.

In one instance, an employee mishandled classified material during a
five-year period but didn't lose his to-secret access, the paper found.

The clearances were approved by the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals,
or DOHA, a little-known agency that decides whether to grant or deny
clearances to employees of defense contractors.

The cases cited in the newspaper's project were made by administrative judges
who rule in cases where applicants seek to overturn preliminary decisions
denying them access to classified information.

``To be honest with you, I think DOHA often finds in favor of the individual
and not security,'' Edwin Forrest, executive secretary of the Navy's
Personnel Security Appeal Board, told the paper. ``What we see coming from
DOHA are decisions that go outside the envelope - outside the adjudicative
guidelines.''

``Any American who looked at these DOHA decisions would be horrified,''
Howard Strouse, a former senior DOHA official told the paper. ``To know that
we are giving clearances to some of these people is just intolerable.''

The head of the agency for the past 10 years, Leon J. Schachter, said he did
not agree with every decision, ``but it is important to treat people fairly
and we have a system designed to be fair.''

``The goal is to understand past conduct and predict the future on it,''
Schachter told the paper. ``We are being asked to use a crystal ball. It is a
very difficult job.''

Don't Be Happy, Be Worried
by Declan McCullagh
3:00 a.m. 25.Dec.1999 PST

BE AFRAID: If there's anyone who should know whether New York will be safe on
New Year's Eve, it's James Kallstrom. The gumshoe-turned-police honcho is the
former head of the FBI's New York field office.
His verdict: Don't go there.



"The prudent thing at the turn of this millennium is to celebrate by yourself
or with your family ... if there is a strike, it will be in a large
gathering," Kallstrom said, according to a report in the Australian Daily
Telegraph.

TRAVEL TIPS: The spin is dizzying. The FAA has repeatedly told us that air
travel on New Year's Eve is no big deal, and the head of the agency says
she'll be in the air during the date change.
But just in case, Amtrak is going to shut down all its trains that are en
route just before midnight.
"All 53 trains operating will stop as briefly as possible in the nearest
convenient stations just prior to midnight on Friday, December 31 before
resuming operations. On December 31 and throughout the weekend, Amtrak will
double the number of staff monitoring train operations," says a note from the
White House's Y2K council.

UK NIXES LOOTERS' PLANS: Jack Straw says the British army is ready for Y2K.
No, it's not fixing tanks or trucks.

Straw, the British Home Secretary, has located troops within 10 minutes of
cities to quell possible riots and looting, according to one report.

GOOD LUCK: We're not quite sure how much good it'll do, but this week the US
Defense Department delivered a boatload of emergency supplies to the Russian
government -- just in case.

The DOD delivered 35 fire trucks, 6,500 fire extinguishers, 22 generators,
and 700 power supply replacement batteries, according to an article in
Federal Computer Week.
The idea is that the Russians can use the equipment -- which they requested
-- to stave off Y2K disasters.

DON'T THINK TOO HARD ABOUT THIS ONE:  Scottish sewercrats are running scared
of Y2K.
Authorities fret that a failure in pumping stations could cause sewage
"blowback" through pipes into homes.

The North of Scotland Water Authority has hired a number of standby
generators to ensure this does not happen, according to a report in the Daily
Telegraph.

Re: [CTRL] [Fwd: Your vote - Should the Clintons be Reimbursed for Their Legal Expenses?]

1999-12-29 Thread Eagle 1

 -Caveat Lector-

If the Clinton's are reimbursed for their legal expenses then so should
every American be reimbursed for their personal legal expenses,  be it civil
or criminal.  What's good for the goose and gander is good for the ducklets.

I VOTE "NO".  But I'm not going to the website to vote.

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Flu

1999-12-29 Thread Eagle 1

 -Caveat Lector-

This was the first year I ever took the flu shot,  besides the military
flora of shots some 20 odd years ago,  and also this year took the pneumonia
shot...  I have been around people who've missed weeks of work, sicker than
a dog...  but unlike years past where I caught every flu bug coming down the
pike,  I've remained quite healthy.

I do feel very sorry for those who have gotten sick this year.  I understand
it's one of the worst strains yet,  with even worse ones to come.

[CTRL] SmartMoney Today: Presidential Portfolios - JOHN MCCAIN

JOHN MCCAIN is an investor only by default: He doesn't actually own a stock
or mutual fund of his own. Most of the wealth disclosed to the FEC belongs to
his wife and kids. The senator from Arizona married into the family of a
major beer distributor, Hensley, and his household owns at least $1,250,000
in Hensley-related assets. The One Group mutual funds and even the
Anheuser-Busch (BUD) stock we see in McCain's holdings actually belong to his
children.

So how are McCain's kids doing? They're certainly not getting optimal
returns, according to David Yeske. "It looks like he took the shortest
distance between two points, and just allowed somebody to dump [money] into a
bunch of funds," he says. "Once you mush all those together, they're all
going to cancel each other out and you're going to get the SP 500. And with
all the 12b-1 fees, it's going to cost you 1 1/2% to 2% a year in operating
expenses. For what you're getting, you might as well get the Vanguard 500
Index (VFINX) and pay 18 basis points." Not to mention the fact that the One
Group funds all have front-end loads of 4.5% or more.

Senator, are you listening? Your kids are getting whipped by the SP 500 and
losing good money to fees. McCain gets Dee Lee's second-lowest score (just
behind Gore), largely for not having any of his own money invested: three out
of a possible 10. As for the Hensley fortune, "He might also get left out of
it. It's not that [wife Cindy McCain] may not be willing to house him, but he
doesn't have any control over it."

[CTRL] SmartMoney Today: Presidential Portfolios - Steve Forbes

1999-12-29 Thread Kris Millegan

 -Caveat Lector-

Click Here: A
HREF="http://aol.smartmoney.com:81/smt/candidates/index.cfm?story=sf"SmartMon

ONE of the presidential proposals of multimillionaire Steve Forbes is to
convert Social Security benefits to individually controlled retirement
accounts. Does this mean the Forbes Magazine scion -- and four-time winner of
the Crystal Owl Award for economic forecasting -- will advise the nation on
how to invest so we can all get the best possible returns for our golden
years? Probably not. But in the meantime, here's a guy who has enough bread
to take a few chances. And we can learn some risk-free lessons in the
process.

The publishing magnate, whose wealth has been estimated at $400 million, has
at least $300,000 in Telefonos de Mexico (TMX), a hefty stake for an
international investment -- though not for Forbes, whose equity investments
are only a sliver of his total net worth. While Telmex seems like a great
tactical stock pick -- the stock has returned over 100% for the year so far
-- according to FEC filings, Forbes has had the holding since at least 1994.
"If you're going to buy an individual stock in an emerging market and just
sit on it," says David Yeske, "Telmex is a conservative way -- all things
being equal -- to do something that's not that conservative." Other foreign
telecom picks include Telefonica de Argentina (TAR) and TeleDanmark (TLD).

The bulk of his stock, however, is in financial plays: Fannie Mae (FNM) and
American International Group (AIG), together represent half of his stock
holdings. Year-to-date, the former is in negative territory while the latter
is returning double digits. Among Forbes' fund holdings, 27% is in
fixed-income, 63% is in large-cap growth and value funds and 9% is in
small-cap. According to Dee Lee, a man of Forbes' wealth doesn't really need
mutual funds -- especially ones that generate taxable gains. "I mean, why
bother? His tax return must be miserable as it is, so why add to it? At least
with the stocks he can control the capital gains."
Yeske notes that there doesn't seem to be any underlying strategy to Forbes'
investments: "It looks like one of those portfolios that has grown one good
idea at a time. Sort of a portfolio by accretion. I'm not seeing a consistent
philosophy. He's got these value-oriented funds -- Davis NY Venture (NYVTX),
Royce Value Trust (RVT), Oppenheimer Capital Value (QCVAX) -- side by side
with Vanguard U.S. Growth (VWUSX) and Berger 100 (BEONX), which are
supergrowthy funds. It's a weird mix."

How does Forbes' portfolio stack up on Lee's scale of one to 10?
"I look at his mutual funds and say, 'Why?' So for that, I take away points,"
says Lee. "But I give him a seven."

[CTRL] SmartMoney Today: Presidential Portfolios - PAT BUCHANAN

PAT BUCHANAN has little good to say about free trade, fat-cat CEOs and a globa
l economy that he says has bypassed America's working men and women. And he
has certainly put his money where his mouth is. With just 10% of his holdings
in stocks and the rest in cash, bonds, CDs, property and precious metals,
Buchanan has pretty much bypassed the bull market, assembling a collection of
investments that financial planner David Feldman calls the "Y2K survivalist
portfolio."

But he's nothing if not consistent. Says planner David Yeske: "Pat Buchanan
was vehemently opposed to Nafta [North American Free Trade Association], and
it kind of shows in his portfolio. Bonds, conservative utilities -- not a
very internationalist portfolio." It's true: You won't find any "bleeding
borders" here, no investments in foreign plays like Telefonos de Mexico
(TMX). Buchanan's loathing of taxes is also reflected in his holdings. He has
$500,000-plus in municipal bonds, all from his home state of Virginia.
Planner Dee Lee sees the bond focus as the work of a tax-phobic investor with
an ultraconservative bent. "Here's the reality: Would you want to get a 12%
[return on your investment] and pay some taxes or just get 3%? He's got his
money in resting places. It's not being used."

Also collecting dust is $250,000-plus in precious metals. And we're not
talking gold-oriented stock or mutual fund investments here: Buchanan has
actual lumps of metal in a vault somewhere. Even with Buchanan's small
collection of stocks -- including apple-pie telecom picks like ATT (T) and
Lucent Technologies (LU) -- Dee Lee gives the self-proclaimed "economic
nationalist" a three out of 10 for having a sluggish portfolio. "It's
undiversified and not interested in growth."

"SHOCKING," says David Feldman. "A lease on a zinc mine and no mutual funds?
Shocking."
That's right: Al Gore's assets look more like 1899 than 1999. As things
stand, the V.P. is without anything with a P/E, let alone an IPO: no stocks,
no funds, not even a bond. What does he have? Land -- as far as the eye can
see. Oh, and a zinc mine he's leasing out to an Australian mining company,
Pasminco. He also had at least $39,000 in bank or money-market accounts in
1998.
Of course, if Gore were an investor, he'd be encouraged to keep his money in
a blind trust -- much like President Bill Clinton, who has $1,000,000-plus in
three blind trusts. While Gore's puritanical portfolio may be
conflict-of-interest free, it's also making him, well, not exactly poor, but
it sure ain't making him rich. Gore's net worth has apparently dwindled while
he's been in office, from a maximum of $1.6 million in 1992 to a max of $1.2
million in 1997 (based on the ranges provided by FEC documents).

In 1998 alone, the Gores missed out on a 26.7% return in the SP 500. The
veep's non-portfolio had our financial planners sputtering with indignation.
"The fact that he hasn't been willing to participate even on a blind-trust
basis," says Feldman, "means he's lost out on one of the major bull markets
of U.S. financial history." Dee Lee gives Gore her lowest score for not
planning ahead at all: two out of a possible 10. "If he were to drop dead,"
Lee reasons, "his wife would have to sell some of the houses."

[CTRL] Fwd: [corp-focus] The Corporate Century

1999-12-29 Thread Kris Millegan





The Corporate Century
By Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman

As we move to the end of the millennium, it is important to remind
ourselves that this has been the century of the corporation, where
for-profit, largely unaccountable organizations with unlimited life, size
and power took control of the economy and of the political economy --
largely to the detriment of the individual consumer, worker, neighbor and
citizen.

Let us again remind ourselves that corporations were the creation of
the citizenry. (Thanks here to Richard Grossman of the Project on
Corporations Law and Democracy for resurrecting and teaching us a history
we would have collectively forgotten.)

In the beginning, we the citizenry created the corporation to do the
public's work -- build a canal or a road -- and then go out of business.

We asked people with money to build the canal or road. If anything
went wrong, the liability of these people with money -- shareholders, we
call them -- would be limited to the amount of money they invested and no
more. This limited liability corporation is the bedrock of the market
economy. The markets would deflate like a punctured balloon if
corporations were stripped of limited liability for shareholders.

And what do we, the citizenry, get in return for this generous public
grant of limited liability? Originally, we told the corporation what to
do. You are to deliver the goods and then go out of business.
And then let humans live our lives.

But corporations gained power, broke through democratic controls, and
now roam around the world inflicting unspeakable damage on the earth.

Let us count the ways: price-fixing, chemical explosions, mercury
poisoning, oil spills, destruction of public transportation systems.

Need concrete examples? These are five of the most egregious of
the century:

Number five: Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) and Price Fixing.

In October 1996, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), the good people who
bring you National Public Radio, pled guilty and paid a $100 million
criminal fine -- at the time, the largest criminal antitrust fine ever --
for its role in conspiracies to fix prices to eliminate competition and
allocate sales in the lysine and citric acid markets worldwide.

Number four: Union Carbide and Bhopal.

In 1984, a Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India released
90,000 pounds of the chemical methyl isocyanate. The resulting toxic cloud
killed several thousand people and injured hundreds of thousands.

Number Three: Chisso Corporation and Minamata.

Minamata, Japan was home to Chisso Corporation, a petrochemical company
and maker of plastics. In the 1950s, fish began floating dead in Minamata
Bay, cats began committing suicide, and children were getting rare forms
of brain cancer. Thousands were injured. The company had been dumping
mercury into the bay.

Number two: Exxon Corporation and Valdez Oil Spill.

Ten years ago, the Exxon Valdez hit a reef in Prince William Sound
Alaska and spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil onto 1,500 miles of
Alaskan shoreline, killing birds and fish, and destroying the way of life
of thousands of Native Americans.

Number one: General Motors and the Destruction of Inner City Rail.

Seventy years ago, clean, quiet and efficient inner city rail systems
dotted the U.S. landscape. They were eliminated in the 1930s to make way
for dirty and noisy gasoline-powered automobiles and buses. The inner city
rail systems were destroyed by those very companies that would most
benefit from destruction of inner city rail -- oil, tire and automobile
companies, led by General Motors.

By 1949, GM had helped destroy 100 electric systems in New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, Oakland, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles
and elsewhere.

In 1949, a federal grand jury in Chicago indicted and a jury
convicted GM, Standard Oil of California and Firestone, among others, of
criminally conspiring to replace electric transportation with gas- and
diesel-powered buses and to monopolize the sale of buses and related
products to transportation companies around the country.

GM and the other convicted companies were fined $5,000 each.

These are not unusual examples. Books have been written documenting
the ongoing destruction. The question remains -- how do we put a stop to
it?

And the answer seems clear to us -- reassert public control over what
was originally a public institution.

The ideas on how to reassert such control are the subject of debate
and conflict, in Seattle and around the world. But it seems clear to us
that as the twentieth century was the century of the corporation, the
twenty-first promises to be the century where flesh-and-blood human beings
reassert sovereignty over their lives, their markets and their democracy.

Let us not forget that corporate control was never inevitable. They
took it from us, and it is our responsibility to take it back.

Re: [CTRL] Bauer: Gay [homo]Couples Akin to Terrorism

1999-12-29 Thread Tatman, Robert

 -Caveat Lector-

The "nuclear family" as a widespread social phenomenon emerged in the United
States only during the late 1940's, as ex-GI's returning from the war took
advantage of VA loans to acquire their own homes. It flourished during the
1950's and early '60's, but began to disappear in the late '60's, as
alternative forms of the family began to take shape. These alternatives were
not necessarily multi-generational families (although for a good bit of my
life I lived with three and even four generations under one or two roofs);
they included unmarried couples, both straight and gay, in short-term
relationships; ditto, but in long-term committed relationships; multiple
couples sharing living space; polymorphous-perverse assemblages; and every
conceivable combination in between. As divorce has become more accepted,
something often called "serial monogamy" has come into being...i.e., being
faithful to one partner at a time. (The multi-generational arrangements are
better for children, of course.) Another widespread phenomenon is
grandparents raising grandchildren, for a variety of reasons.

If anyone can find the nuclear family in all of this hodgepodge, go to it...

  Good riddance. The nuclear family is a very recent and not very wide
  spread abberation. Most people on earth live in extended families of at
  least three generations.

 And not necessarily blood kin.

 What is now called 'the nuclear family' is, as you say, a recent
 phenomenon,
 and quite frankly is not all that great, in my estimation...

 It encourages a self-centeredness that older, 'tribal' societies (which
 includes
 most of Europe up until the 19th century) didn't have...


  Most people have always lived in extended
  families since before we came down from the trees.

 And those extended families then gathered into 'tribal' units, called
 villages
 and towns.


  The nuclear family fragments and atomizes
  society into easily managable consumer units. It fosters mental illness,
  particularly neurosis, because it limits the child's role models to two
  and because it discourages community.

 Exactly.  God save us from the cult of the 'nuclear family'

If I were infiltrating the United States with the mission of conducting

explosives across the border in such a way that they would be found by a
routine inspection. I presume that this guy had a network with which he was

Re: [CTRL] sleep well America!

1999-12-29 Thread Eagle 1

 -Caveat Lector-

Like I said,  J2,  because of the lack of readiness and training due to this
very thing,  is why I'd run,  not walk to the nearest exit if I were back in
the military today.  Being in the military is a group effort...  and when
there is no group,  if you are called to red alert duty, and you're in the
military,  you will die.  Tell me,  what's peaceful about that?  At least
with the military ready in all aspects, if you were called to protect the US
freedoms and liberties,  you would have a "fighting chance".  So it does not
mean "we have a long way to go" for anything.  It means a lot of men and
women will die senselessly just so you and I can send these emails through a
protected centralized computing center...  which I dare say is subject to
change at any moment.

Our dear president,  in order to satisfy his own selfish desires (one of
many derelictions of duty) has reduced the US's ability to wholly protect US
borders and outside interests and investments.  No wonder we have terrorists
with bombs coming and going on our borders!  For example, the US was
heartless,  but pretty smart at the same time as over the years they've kept
Mexico from rising above poverty level,  or becoming educated; the US has
even been guilty of allowing a few to come and go (calling them 'illegal
aliens'), making sure their way of life was enhanced by providing food,
shelter and jobs, albeit illegal, so as these illegals would take the
message back to their constituents in Mexico that Uncle Sam will "pay for
everything".  Why work?   In essence by keeping Mexico poor,  unable to
muster a strong military force, we have ensured our "southern" border with
the padding of poor and innocent people. What's peaceful about that?
America has, however,  bit through her tongue a hundred and one times to
remain allies with Canada and certain issues of Great Brittain.  We have no
choice but to remain her closest ally,  no matter what the cost. Our
northern border is now covered.  However,  east and west borders are not so
safe.

J2,  even with my military travels,  how about this?  I live in the area
where I got to see the result of internal terrorist activity.  A bomb blew
up just few miles from my home. My house shook,  windows cracked and things
fell off walls and shelves.  I saw with my own eyes, the terror, the grief,
the blood and the tears!!!  I have first hand knowledge, the job of bagging
and tagging body parts. (Imagine finding a child's foot or a little
finger!!! or how about a body with no head?)  I've stood in the hole where
the blast occurred. I looked up at the hanging bits of debris with blood
stains splattered all over the place and stood in awe that this could happen
within the borders of this country!  Television could not capture the shear
terror of this act!  What war caused this? Answer: NONE!  This was done in
the name of peace...  in the name of protest and in the name of ignorance.
And to this day,  as the memorial begins to loom on the street where this
atrocity occurred,  the perpetrator sits in a secured cell with telephone,
internet access,  and all conveniences of home,  while tax dollars support
his well being until he has no more right to appeal. The blood baths
continue in each life this senseless act affected.

So please don't talk to me about military Imperialist NWO junk!  You've been
watching far too many fantasy movies.  The NWO is not in military might;
the NWO comes in prosperously and peacefully!  Not with war or military.  It
sits, in it's penthouse, looming above the systems of the world who gave the
power to it;  those being the armchair warriors of the world;  no blood
spilled there...  but their hands are dripping with the stuff.  And it makes
me sick.

So tell me,  PEACE?  at what cost J2?
Dream on...
and pray that no one drives up next to your office in a Ryder truck and
blows someone you love to bits for no reason.

Even granting that he might have been a mule, it still makes no sense to me
to try to bring the explosives into the U.S., when they are probably more
available here than they are in Canada. That's why I think this whole deal

The Middle East: A Peaceful Backwater

Summary

The end of the Cold War has caused a rare set of circumstances to
occur in the Middle East. Viewed from a global standpoint, it is,
for now, non-strategic. Arab regimes, based upon Gamel Abdel
Nasser's model for a secular and nationalistic government, are in a
state of decline. The real question for the next decade, as a
result, no longer turns on the Arab-Israeli relationship - but
rather Arab identity. Three forces will converge - the decline of
Arab leadership, the unstable succession periods that will follow
and the Iranian variable - indicating a real possibility of a
resurgent and powerful fundamentalist movement sweeping the Islamic
world. Yet, current relationships between Arab countries and Israel
point to a future with fairly manageable, somewhat unhealthy, peace
in the region.


Analysis

For 50 years, any analysis of the Middle East turned on Arab-
Israeli relations.  As we have discussed in detail
[ http://www.stratfor.com/SERVICES/GIU/112299.asp ], the Cold War
and the Arab-Israeli conflict were intimately connected. The
Western strategy of containment depended heavily on maintaining a
cordon around the Soviet Bloc on the line of Yugoslavia, Greece,
Turkey and Iran. Unable to break this line, the Soviet Union
countered by attempting to encircle the encirclement and brought
Syria and Iraq under its influence. The Western countermove was to
increase dependence on Israel, Jordan and the Arabian Peninsula.

The end of the Cold War has brought an extraordinary moment to the
Middle East. Now, at a rare instance in history, this crossroads of
three continents is not in anyone's line of march nor critical to
any empire's defense. Viewed from a global standpoint, the Middle
East is, for now, non-strategic. Russia is struggling merely to
hold on to its own periphery. Even oil -though higher in price than
a year ago - is not in such short supply as to arouse concerns.
Indeed, it is important to remember that the pivot of the entire
region - the area from Cairo to Damascus - doesn't have much oil.

The decline of great power rivalry has opened the door to what
passes for peace in the region. Egypt and Israel have had a peace
treaty for a generation. Jordan and Israel formalized their ongoing
entente more recently. Syria and Israel are now seeing if they can
formalize what has been in place for well over a decade. If the
attempt fails, it is of little importance. Syria and Israel have
too many common interests in Lebanon to allow too much friction to
develop, especially when there is no great power audience to play
for. Therefore, for the moment, the fate of the region is of far
greater interest to inhabitants than to outsiders. This is a
startling feeling to Israelis, Egyptians and Syrians, all of whom
expect the world to care much more about what goes on there than is
the case.

The real question for the next decade, as a result, no longer turns
on the Arab-Israeli relationship - but rather the Arab-Arab
relationship, or to be more precise, the future dynamic of the Arab
world. And if the most important issue for the region is the future
of Arab self-conception, then the most important issue is what is
called, inappropriately, Islamic fundamentalism. It is a misnomer
simply because the real question in the region is the extent to
which Islam in general, rather than in any fundamentalist sense,
will dominate. This is a critical question because we are on the
verge of a generational shift in Arab leadership. Jordan's King
Hussein is dead. Syria's Hafez Assad is clearly ill. Egypt's Hosni
Mubarak has been in office for a generation. Moammar Gadhafi has
been in office for more than 30 years. Most of those now governing
Arab states will not be around in 10 years. Therefore, the question
of Islam intersects with this impending generational change.


The Rise and Fall of Nasserism

To understand the next 10 years, we must take a detour into
history, and particularly into the history of the most dynamic
movement in post-war Arab history: Nasserism.

Today, the regimes of major Arab states that are not monarchies are
descendants of the model pioneered in Egypt by Gamel Abdel Nasser.
While Nasser and his brand of pan-Arab nationalism have long since
passed 

[CTRL] Hitler Would Have Loved Echelon...

1999-12-29 Thread William Shannon

 -Caveat Lector-

Printed in Ekstra Bladet, Denmark, Nov. 22, 1999

HITLER WOULD HAVE LOVED IT
Echelon is the final struggle for the right to privacy and the right to talk
and communicate freely.

BY: KENAN SEEBERG AND BO ELKJÆR

Echelon is the end of our right to privacy as we know it today. The end of
our right to speak, write and act as free and independent human beings. The
global surveillance collaboration places all of us under constant
surveillance whenever we use certain words and concepts. We are placed under
suspicion from the moment we start communicating with other people.

On the telephone, computer, telex or telefax. Moreover if we voluntarily
allow the state and its secret agencies to have access to everything we do,
think and talk about, we simultaneously run the risk that someone will misuse
this information.

Hitler would have licked his lips at the opportunity of having an Echelon
system at his command. So would Stalin, Mussolini, Mao or Joe McCarthy. Push
a button and Jews, gays, system critics, deviants and persons of the wrong
political persuasion appear on a screen.

Or the address and phone number of every Danish police officer. That was
basically what happened when Germany's plenipotentiary during the occupation
of Denmark, Werner Best, took over the Copenhagen Police Force in 1943 and
ordered the arrest of all Danish police officers. Until then, the officers
had otherwise aided in rounding up Danish communists. So by then, most of the
communists had already been 'fixed', jailed or had fled.

THE COMPUTER WILL KNOW EVERYTHING

Up to the German occupation, Denmark had close ties with Nazi Germany through
Interpol and other channels, which we even used to exchange information with
the Germans. So who is to say that our good friends today will also be our
chums tomorrow? Why should we let foreign countries and their businesses and
industries have access to our most vital national information? The
information on which we base our democracy and our financial strength. Danish
laws that prohibit the coordination of data records are based on sound
principles. As are other laws which state that the political conviction,
race, religion and sexuality of Danish citizens may not be registered. And
still more laws which state that only persons who are suspected of a very
serious crime may have their letters opened and conversations tapped by the
spies of the state.

We have learned from the past, and we are free to be whoever we are, and to
do and believe in whatever we want to. As long as we do not go out and harm
others on the basis of our beliefs.

Therefore, as long as we obey the law, the state had better do the same. This
means stay out of our homes, our cars and our computers until the day we
break the law.

Within the next ten years, most people will have a camera installed in their
computers and the computer will be connected to their television, video,
telephone, electronic kitchen appliances, front door, car and all other
electronic equipment. Everything will be interconnected in one big network.
And we will say 'dot-dot-dot' every other sentence.

The computer will know in advance who you vote for and with whom you are
secretly in love. When you pick up a book, the computer will help you
remember where you left off, remind you to take your birth-control pills, and
flash a red warning light if you forget to change the baby. By so doing, your
health, your tastes, your habits, your shopping and your perversities will be
registered under your name, making your everyday life much easier.

But it will also make it easier for the spies behind the global surveillance
systems.

TOTAL SURVEILLANCE

Even the NSA says it is striving for '100% hearability'. Total coverage of
everything that is communicated on the earth. So said former NSA agent Wayne
Madsen to Ekstra Bladet two weeks ago. That was the objective of the global
spies already in 1986. 13 years ago.

"Already in 1978, Echelon was capable of zooming in on individual persons and
listening in on your conversation in real time," says Margaret Newsham today
to Ekstra Bladet.

So imagine what they are capable of today, in 1999.

Another former agent who repents his NSA past is afraid to make a statement,
but before he hangs up, he manages to say: "I am convinced that your
perception of this surveillance is way below the mark. You have absolutely no
idea of how extensive the surveillance is. We're talking 'big business'
here."

So where Echelon is concerned, we must either accept that our democracy is
now based on new ground rules, or believe that we can determine the direction
of our own lives. If we do not succeed in getting our government to
intercede, then we must accept the fact that the intelligence agencies, and
with that the state, are allowed to listen in on our lives any time they want
to and register whatever we are doing. Our constitutional right to privacy
will disappear in the new millennium.

We also accept that as a little

2000 warning in D.C. more dire than most
By Ronald J. Hansen
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


The D.C. Emergency Management Agency's "Y2K Preparedness Guide" tells readers
to "store a supply of seven to ten days worth of nonperishable foods per
person." Meanwhile, most other jurisdictions have advised being prepared for
only a few days.

District of Columbia officials are urging residents to prepare for more than
a week without private and public services as the new year approaches, though
most other jurisdictions have advised being prepared for only a few days.
 The D.C. Emergency Management Agency's "Y2K Preparedness Guide" tells
readers to "store a supply of seven to ten days worth of nonperishable foods
per person."
 It also warns residents to "set aside enough cash to meet living
expenses for at least a one-month period" and "consider renting or purchasing
a generator."
 Peter G. LaPorte, the agency's acting director, said the guide is not
intended to scare residents nor contradict the rosy picture Mayor Anthony A.
Williams painted nine days ago.
 "If you say you need to be prepared for three days, people blink at
that. So you say be ready a little longer," Mr. LaPorte said. "The idea is to
take those proper precautions."
 Mr. Williams was unavailable for comment yesterday.
 Local officials and businesses have said for several weeks that their
computers are ready for the year 2000.
 Nancy Moses, a spokeswoman for Pepco, which provides electricity for the
city and most of nearby suburban Maryland, yesterday said the utility is
ready and not asking customers to gird for anything unusual.
 "We've spent $12 million over the past five years to be sure that the
system is ready and will work," she said. "Our recommendation is for people
to plan as if it's a three-day holiday weekend."
 The city's guide advises residents to buy batteries for flashlights
(rather than use candles), keep financial records in a secure place, contact
neighbors and have a neighborhood emergency plan.
 The city has run several preparation drills, including one yesterday for
people working New Year's Eve.
 "We don't expect to have to put the plans into action, but the plans are
in place and they're tested in case we need them," Mr. Williams said Dec. 19.
"I want to assure all our residents that if you call 911 or there's a problem
at the power company or there's a snowstorm, you will get the service you
need. We will keep the city running."
 The city has spent more than $140 million preparing for the millennium
and overhauling its computers to ensure they function properly Jan. 1. Many
older systems were considered apt to malfunction because dated information
used only the last two digits of the year and could not distinguish "00" as
2000 rather than 1900.
 Of the city's 378 computer systems, all the "critical systems" are
year-2000 compliant and 96 percent of all systems are ready, Mr. Williams
said.
 About 95 percent of the city's 15,000 personal computers also are ready;
the rest are scheduled to be replaced in the final days before the new year.
 Some local banks have placed signs in the windows of their branch
offices and messages on ATM machines telling customers the banks are ready
for the new year.
 Mr. LaPorte said residents have welcomed the call for preparation, which
is applicable to more than year-2000 problems.
 "We know people have done some of the things," he said. "A lot of the
people have said, 'I really don't have my essential documents in a secure
place.' It's just good common sense."
 Early weather forecasts for Friday indicate cool temperatures but no
snow, Mr. LaPorte noted. He could not estimate how many people will attend
festivities at the Mall and the city's two-day "Main Street Millennium" on
Constitution Avenue.
 "This is a difficult one to peg," he said of the expected turnout,
comparing it to the annual "Taste of D.C." and Fourth of July celebrations.
 City officials will monitor New Year's fallout in other cities around
the world, Mr. LaPorte said. Additionally, representatives from Bell
Atlantic, Pepco and other utilities and businesses will be in touch with city
leaders throughout the first night of the new year.
 "More than half the company will be working," Pepco's Ms. Moses said.
"We would normally have a skeleton staff."
 D.C. officials also will keep in close contact with Maryland, Virginia
and federal authorities, Mr. LaPorte said.

[CTRL] Huge Magnetic Storm Could Worsen Y2K Troubles.

1999-12-29 Thread William Shannon

 -Caveat Lector-

HUGE MAGNETIC STORM MAY WORSEN Y2K, U.S. SAYS
American Reporter Staff
Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON -- Just when many federal and state officials were beginning to
feel confident that Y2K problems would not disable the nation's computer
systems, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has revealed that a giant magnetic
storm may strike Earth at New Year's and cause vast disruptions in power,
communications and other sunspot-sensitive technology.

"During the sunspot maximum we are going through now, smaller storms can
occur rather frequently -- even several times a week. Though it is unlikely
that a really large storm will hit just as the New Year arrives, it could
happen, and if it does, the results might complicate the situation with Y2K,"
said Don Herzog, a geophysicist with the agency.

While magnetic storms are not rare, "great storms like this are," the USGS
said in a press release issued Tuesday.

"The last great magnetic storm occurred exactly 11 years ago this coming
March 13 at 3 a.m. EST. That storm caused the collapse of the Hydro-Quebec
power system in Canada, leaving about 6 million people without power. If the
storm had struck a few hours later than it did, the blackout would likely
have been much worse because of the heavier power consumption during daytime
hours," USGS officials said.

"While it is geomagnetic storms that give rise to the beautiful Northern
lights, they can also pose a serious threat for commercial and military
satellite operators, power companies, astronauts, and they can even shorten
the life of oil pipelines in Alaska by increasing pipeline corrosion," the
statement said.

Geomagnetism is the study of the Earth's magnetic field. The field can
undergo large and rapid fluctuations due to the interaction of charged
particles ejected by the Sun that collide with the geomagnetic field. These
disturbances are known as "geomagnetic storms," and can cause power
blackouts, disruptions in communications, satellite failures, and other
hazardous effects.

These solar ejections, traveling at more than a million miles an hour, are
associated with sunspots, whose number increase and decrease over an 11-year
cycle. The number of geomagnetic storms therefore increases and decreases in
concert with that cycle. The next peak in sunspot activity is expected to
occur in early 2000 -- perhaps just in time for the arrival of the New Year.

The USGS operates a network of 13 magnetic observatories that continuously
monitor the Earth's magnetic field. The USGS provides this valuable
geomagnetic data to a wide variety of users and organizations that can be
affected by a geomagnetic storm.

The data are collected in near-real time via satellite to a downlink center
located in Golden, Colo. They are then sent to the U.S. Air Force (USAF)
Space Command Center for use in their operational models that characterize
the near-space environment surrounding the Earth, and to NOAA's Space
Environment Center for distribution to their extensive customer list.

The geomagnetic data are also shared with agencies comparable to the USGS in
other countries including Canada, Japan, France, Brazil, the United Kingdom,
and others as part of an international organization called INTERMAGNET. The
USGS also produces models of the Earth's magnetic field that are used in a
host of applications, including GPS receivers, military and civilian
navigational systems, and in research for studies of the effects of
geomagnetic storms on the ionosphere, atmosphere, and near-space environment.

Naturally D.C.'s Y2K warning is worse than everyone else's--that government
has been incompetent for so long, regardless of who was running it, that ANY
incident, no matter how minor, becomes a major public disaster when it hits
D.C. Just look at the way they handle the one heavy snowfall they get every
year...they are NEVER prepared for it, and the entire city goes into
paralysis. This warning isn't so much about Y2K as it is about D.C. itself.

And please listen up, people...I'm not talking about the fact that D.C.'s
government is overwhelmingly black and Democrat. It doesn't matter whether
it's black Democrats in City Hall or white Republicans in Congress...D.C. is
now, always has been, and, I daresay, always will be utterly and
unredeemably corrupt and incompetent. The Congress could outsource D.C.'s
government to the Disney Corporation, for all I know, and it wouldn't make a
scrap of difference. They'd be better off making D.C. the personal fief of
the House Speaker, and channel all the graft into his pocket--that way at
least we'd know where the buck was stopping...

[CTRL] Clinton and Nero

1999-12-29 Thread Stopforth, Jamie

 -Caveat Lector-

 From
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_btl/19991229_xcbtl_clinton_an.shtml

I don't know about you, but I am still reeling over the under-reported,
under-scrutinized, under-analyzed comments by White House press secretary
Joe Lockhart about Southern Baptists.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_btl/19991228_xcbtl_the_bigots.shtml
For those of you who missed it, here's what he said: "I think the president
has made very clear ... his views on religious tolerance, and how one of the
greatest challenges going into the next century is dealing with intolerance,
dealing with ethnic and religious hatred, and coming to grips with the
long-held resentments between religions. So I think he's been very clear in
his opposition to whatever organization, including the Southern Baptist,
that perpetuate ancient religious hatred."
Lockhart, the official White House spokesman, stated, without equivocation,
without hesitation and, most importantly, without rebuke from his boss, that
the evangelical Christian notion of carrying out the Great Commission and
spreading Christianity to people of other faiths equates with perpetuating
"ancient religious hatred."
In effect, the Clinton administration is now on record as believing that the
practice of biblical Christianity is tantamount to a "hate crime."

It might surprise some people to learn that this is not a new idea.
Americans are not noted for their historical memory. But Christians were
among the Roman Empire's most persecuted victims. It's interesting to know
why -- what the motivation was for that persecution.
The first-century Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus provides some insight in
his classic work, "Annals."
Here's a translated excerpt from "Annals" 15:44, describing Emperor Nero's
reaction to the burning of Rome:
But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the
propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the
conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the
report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on
a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace.
Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty
during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius
Pilate, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment,
again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even
in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world
find their center and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made
of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense
multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of
hatred against mankind. Mockery of every sort was added to their deaths.
Covered with the skins of beasts, they were torn by dogs and perished, or
were nailed to crosses, or were doomed to the flames and burnt, to serve as
a nightly illumination, when daylight had expired.
Notice that Christians were charged with "hatred of mankind." Isn't that
interesting? They were executed for a "hate crime." This is where it all
began. And look who's talking about picking up the torch of persecution
today -- the Clinton administration.
You may not think that's significant. You may not think it's important that
the city of Chicago is asking the Southern Baptists not to hold their
convention there because of the perception that the denomination is a group
of haters. You may not think it is relevant that Christians are the target
of bias and bigotry in our culture today on a scale unprecedented since the
fall of Rome.

I do. I also think it is worth noting that we are past the point at which
government simply turned a blind eye to this kind of prejudice. Now
government -- at the highest levels -- is an active participant in fanning
the flames of hatred against Christians. Bill Clinton, the man who
conveniently embraced the Southern Baptist tradition when it came time for
political redemption in Arkansas, is leading us back to the horrors of Rome.
You might say he's a modern-day Nero.
This is the real "hate crime" -- if there is such a thing.
If this isn't enough to wake Christians in America from their complacency
and misguided trust in government, I give up. It's time, brothers and
sisters, to put your faith in God, not in Caesar, not in Nero and certainly
not in Clinton.

[CTRL] Fwd: RITALIN: Brain-Damage Evidence For Amphetamines

1999-12-29 Thread Kris Millegan





 Below is a press release from Yale University about a
 study that found short-term low-dose amphetamine use in
 primates caused possibly permanent cognitive impairment.
 Researcher Stacy Castner concluded: "It may be the case
 that even a brief period of low-dose amphetamine abuse
 in early adolescence or early adulthood can produce
 profound cognitive deficits that may persist for a
 couple of years or more after amphetamine use has ended."

 Ritalin is generally identical to amphetamines, which are
 also prescribed to suppress the same childhood misbehaviors
 defined as "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (ADHD).
 It's plausible that if amphetamines cause profound cognitive
 deficits in primates they would in humans too; accordingly,
 the researchers extrapolate their findings to human use.

 We've already seen that therapeutic doses of Ritlin can
 induce an information-processing dysfunction in human
 subjects that is also a classic symptom of schizophrenic
 psychopathology (http://www.erols.com/igoddard/polyrisk.htm
 and see: http://users.erols.com/igoddard/conyers.htm).
 Attesting to the brain-impairing power of Ritalin, it's
 also been shown that Ritalin "induces a psychopathology
 that seems to mimic schizophrenic psychosis more closely
 than that induced by amphetamines and cocaine" (Journal
 of Pharmacology and Experiment Therapeutics, 1993 267(1)).

 A study reported in Science News (December 18  25, 1999)
 found that most of the children receiving behavior therapy
 had a reduction of ADHD symptoms sufficient to negate any
 need for drugs. Science News states: "About two-thirds of
 the children receiving behavioral treatment alone did well
 enough to stay off medication throughout the study" (see:
 http://sciencenews.org/sn_arc99/12_18_99/fob1.htm). The
 logical and medically ethical choice seems only too clear:
 give kids attention  respect, not brain-impairing drugs!!

Yale Study of Long-Term Learning Deficits Resulting From
Repeated Amphetamine Exposure Could Help Drug Abusers

New Haven, Conn. -- Repeated exposure to low-dose amphetamines
can cause deficits in cognitive performance that last for
several years after the exposure ends, offering insight into
potential harmful effects of chronic substance abuse in humans,
a Yale study has found.

"While previous studies show that acute amphetamine injections
can impair cognition, our report is the first to demonstrate
long lasting-over two years-and possibly permanent cognitive
deficits induced by a brief period of intermittent low-dose
amphetamine exposure," said Stacy Castner, a researcher on
the study. "This research could also lead to potential
treatment of deficits in former drug abusers as well as
potential drug deterrents in adolescents and young adults."

To mimic the "binge/crash" pattern of drug abuse in humans,
Castner gave primates twice-daily injections of chronic
amphetamine (AMPH), five days per week for six weeks. The
AMPH dose ranged from 0.1 mg/kg to 1.0 mg/kg and was
increased by 0.1 mg/kg every three drug days.

The investigation assessed changes in behavior and videotaped
the primates to record behavioral responses to each dose of
AMPH. At six months into the amphetamine exposure, the primates
were tested on an array of cognitive tasks ranging from
recognition memory, visual discrimination and spatial working
memory. Primates previously exposed to amphetamines failed to
successfully perform the tasks even with continued testing,
for up to one and a half years.

"The results show the presence of profound cognitive deficits
in the amphetamine-treated animals," said Castner, associate
research scientist in Neurobiology. "This finding could also
lead to further understanding of other diseases involving
dysregulation of the brain's dopamine neurons." (more)

The study, which will be highlighted at the Society for
Neuroscience annual meeting in Miami, Florida from October
23-28, is consistent with data from human research where
commonly abused drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy have been
found to produce long-lasting and possibly permanent
cognitive deficits.

"It may be the case that even a brief period of low-dose
amphetamine abuse in early adolescence or early adulthood
can produce profound cognitive deficits that may persist
for a couple of years or more after amphetamine use has
ended," said Castner.

The investigators' ongoing research includes experiments
involving neurotransmitters that will help explain the long-
lasting cognitive deficits in primates. They are also
conducting experiments to reverse the AMPH-induced cognitive
deficits in the same group of primates and they plan to
investigate the biochemical and structural changes in the
primate brain that could account for the behavioral

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me
privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of
commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a
power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so
complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when
they speak in condemnation of it."

human equivalency has been surpassed already in public research. Private

here is a puzzlement for y'all. What happens when super-computers start

if anybody understands anything. Words we can generate until hell freezes

then isn't that what the US military intended it for and now regulates it
for? Pardon my "conspiratorial thinking" but maybe I finally "got it"...are
you out there Mimi? During the "Franklin Coverup" investigation I met a
lawyer Congressman Dellums had sent to monitor things. Mimi the lawyer tried
to teach me to think conspiratorially-she said it was the American way. So
try this one out - The Internet will only be free as long as it is not
deemed to be a threat by the US military. One psy-op phrase they use is
"Influence Technology". That has to do with mass indoctrination.
   Now imagine you have such a machine babbler which passes the Turing Test.
(If they don't have it they will have it soon). One thing you could do with
it is turn it loose on lists like Snetnews and CTRL etc. and voila!
Attitudes and opinions can be shaped to be politically correct automatically

Just logic it out as to what it would take to pass the Turing Test. Then

The Making of George W. Bush
Bush Name Helps Fuel Oil Dealings

The old Petroleum Building in Midland, where George W. Bush had his oil
company offices.
(By Susan Biddle – The Post)


 By George Lardner Jr. and Lois Romano
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, July 30, 1999; Page A1


Sixth of seven articles
As world oil prices plummeted in the winter of 1985-86, George W. Bush faced
the most serious crisis of his 11-year career as a West Texas oilman.
Spectrum 7, his exploration and development company, had reported a net loss
of $1.6 million in 1985, due to the fast-deteriorating value of its
holdings. As the price of oil fell from $25 to $9 a barrel, the firm was on
its way to losing another $402,000 by mid-1986. Bush's company owed more
than $3 million in bank loans and other debts with no hope of paying them
off in time. His investors had disappeared.

On the cusp of his 40th birthday, Bush had two choices: Cut his staff to the
bone, hunker down and pray for oil prices to climb before the banks
foreclosed; or find a bigger company that was willing to scoop him up, debts
and all. "I'm all name and no money," the son of the then-vice president
used to say.

Bush's name, however, was to help rescue him, just as it had attracted
investors and helped revive his flagging fortunes throughout his years in
the dusty plains city of Midland. A big Dallas-based firm, Harken Oil and
Gas, was looking to buy up troubled oil companies. After finding Spectrum,
Harken's executives saw a bonus in their target's CEO, despite his spotty
track record.

By the end of September 1986, the deal was done. Harken assumed $3.1 million
in debts and swapped $2.2 million of its stock for a company that was
hemorrhaging money, though it had oil and gas reserves projected to produce
$4 million in future net revenue. Harken, a firm that liked to attach itself
to stars, had also acquired Bush, whom it used not as an operating manager
but as a high-profile board member.

"One of the reasons Harken was so interested in merging was because of
George," said Paul Rea, a geologist who had been president of Spectrum 7.
"They believed having George's name there would be a big help to them. They
wanted him on their board."

The buyout not only rescued Bush financially but gave him the collateral for
an investment a few years later in the Texas Rangers baseball team that
eventually made him a millionaire. In addition to the seat on the board, he
received more than $300,000 of Harken stock, options to buy more, and a
consulting contract that paid him as much as $120,000 a year in the late
'80s, when he was working full time on his father's presidential campaign.

It was one of the biggest breaks of Bush's life. Still, the Harken deal
completed a disappointing reprise of what was becoming a familiar pattern.
As an oilman, Bush always worked hard, winning a reputation as a
straight-shooter and a good boss who was witty, warm and immensely likable.
Even the investors who lost money in his ventures remained admirers, and
some of them are now raising money for his presidential campaign.

But the story of Bush's career in oil, which began following his graduation
from Harvard Business School in the summer of 1975 and ended when he sold
out to Harken and headed for Washington, is mostly about his failure to
succeed, despite the sterling connections his lineage and Ivy League
education brought him.

Thanks to his and his family's ties to wealthy investors around the country,
including prominent Republicans, Bush was repeatedly able to raise money to
invest in oil drilling, especially when prices were booming and tax breaks
were inviting in the late 1970s. But connections could not help with the
tricky business of picking profitable holes to drill, and Bush never made a
big score.

In fact, Bush lost money for most of his well-connected investors. At the
same time, the management fees and other expenses he collected from them
kept him in business and enabled him to buy oil reserves for his company's
own account, including the reserves that eventually attracted Harken's
attention.

Three times during his years in Midland, Bush was saved from financial
trouble or stagnation by the appearance of new partners or financial angels
who gave him a fresh start. One was a Princeton classmate and friend of
James A. Baker III, who was to serve as his father's secretary of state;
another was a fellow Yale man who shared Bush's love for baseball.

The third was Harken, which was to save Bush from humiliating failure but
also create a target for later criticism. Reporters would scrutinize the
deal as early as 1990. Led by then-Texas Gov. Ann Richards, Bush's opponent
in the 1994 gubernatorial election, his political critics have asked whether
Harken used Bush's name to obtain oil business. Even now, questions linger
about a 1990 sale of Harken stock by Bush that was the subject of a probe by
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

California explosives theft probed

Second large heist in a month worries law enforcement agencies


MSNBC staff and wire reports

Dec. 29 - As a private New Year's Eve party in Seattle's Space Needle became
the latest victim of millennial terrorism fears, investigators on Wednesday
were looking for clues in the theft of 200 pounds of explosives from a
police bunker in California - the second heist of large amounts of
explosives this month.

DYNAMITE, GUNPOWDER and the military plastic explosive C4 were stolen from a
police bomb-squad bunker near Fresno, raising fears of New Year's Eve
violence. But the blasting caps were left behind, prompting one expert to
suggest there wasn't much to worry about.
The explosives - 125 pounds of dynamite and C4, plus 75 pounds of gunpowder
- were stolen between Saturday and Monday from the reinforced concrete
bunker 20 miles northeast of Fresno.

"We have a great concern, and we're not going to hide that concern," said
Fresno Police Chief Ed Winchester.

'THREE LEVELS OF SECURITY'
Police Lt. Andy Hall said the thieves broke through "three levels of
security" - a fence topped with barbed wire, several locks and a heavy steel
door - to gain entry to the bunker, which is half-embedded in a hill.

"We don't know if it was connectedin any way to ... the New Year's Eve
celebration, and we hate to speculate on anything like that. But we're
certainly taking it as a breach of security and a high risk factor," he
said.

Despite the theft, Fresno Mayor Jim Patterson said the city's millennium
celebrations will go on as planned.

Authorities said the danger posed by the explosives would depend on the
expertise of the thieves.

Hall said a demolition expert could "take down a high-rise" with the amount
of explosives taken. "But if you put it all in a box and set it next to a
wall, it wouldn't do much other than to destroy some of that wall," he said.


But Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition Inc. in Maryland, said
the danger was minimal since the blasting caps weren't stolen.

'CHILDISH PRANK' SUSPECTED
"The people don't know what they were doing, or they certainly would have
taken the detonators. It sounds like a childish prank," said Loizeaux, whose
company has demolished more than 1,200 buildings. "The gasoline in your gas
tank is technically more dangerous than this product, because you can set it
off with a match."

Last week, authorities reported that nearly 1,000 pounds of explosives were
stolen from a flagstone quarry north of Flagstaff, Ariz.

Investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms have not
identified any suspects in the theft of about 750 pounds of ammonium
nitrate, 225 pounds of dynamite, 6,000 feet of detonation cord and roughly
20 blasting caps.

The materials are commonly used in mining, but also could be used to make a
bomb, authorities said. Ammonium nitrate was the main ingredient in the
4,800-pound bomb used to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in
Oklahoma City in 1995, in which 168 people were killed.

The Arizona theft has not been linked to any terroristic threat. But the
amount of explosives taken - enough to level a high-rise - has raised
concerns and suspicions.

SEATTLE CANCELS CELEBRATION
Such concerns on Tuesday caused the city of Seattle to cancel its planned
New Year's Eve celebration, which had been expected to attract 50,000
people.

Concern in the city has been growing since Dec. 14, when suspected terrorist
Ahmed Ressam was arrested at the U.S.-Canadian border with alleged
bomb-making materials packed into his rental car. Investigators found that
Ressam, an Algerian who had been living in Canada, had booked a motel room
within blocks of the Seattle Center.

The decision to cancel the celebration at the city's Seattle Center claimed
its final victim late Tuesday, when organizers of a private party planned
for the Space Needle said they too were staying away.

Party organizer Wendy Warren said the gala millennial event planned a decade
earlier by a group of friends and family members from Portland, Ore., had
been scrapped. She gave no reason for the decision, but other members of the
group said fears of violence were behind the action.

Dean Nelson, the president of the Space Needle Corp., told the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, said he was "disappointed."

He would not say how much Warren's group had spent to rent the Space Needle,
nor would he say whether she would get any of her money back.

Earlier Tuesday, Seattle Mayor Paul Schell defended his decision to cancel
the city's New Year's Eve bash even though no specific threat to the city
had been uncovered, saying, "Though we are comfortable that Seattle is not a
target (of terrorists), the FBI can't assure us that there's no risk."

Schell cited the Ressam's arrest two weeks earlier in nearby Port Angeles,
Wash., the need to have police available to respond to possible Y2K computer
problems and the

excerpt:
 In London, Abu Omar denied accusations that he was plotting
a Millennium bombing campaign with bin Laden. Abu Omar, also
known as Abu Qutada, said in an interview with The Observer
newspaper he was committed to a global jihad, or holy war, to
free Islamic countries from bad rulers, but had not been involved
in any of the terrorist activities attributed to him.
 "I deny completely the Jordanian allegations. I don't head
any organisation. I don't follow bin Laden. I am not one of his
men. But I have no doubt that the Jordanian intelligence service
wants me in person," Abu Qutada was quoted in The Observer.
 He said that he fled Jordan to Pakistan in 1989. Since
arriving in Britain, Abu Qutada said, he had been teaching
Islamic theology. "I've never been part of any organisation," he
said. "My role here is studying Islam. I don't have [a] button to
push to make terror happen."
 Officials here have said that the suspected terrorists
were funded in particular by Abu Omar, believed to be bin Laden's
right hand man. One official said Abu Omar "is a Jordanian, who
entered Britain on a false passport and has since obtained
political asylum there."
 "He was sentenced in Jordan in absentia in 1998 for
involvement in a series of explosions, including one in the car
park of a hotel" on April 30, 1998, the official said. The
official also named the leader of the group as Khader Abu
Ghoshar, who had also been jailed in Jordan in 1993 for
involvement in bombings, before he benefited from a Royal amnesty
earlier this year.
 The official said Abu Ghoshar received training in
Afghanistan on the manufacture and handling of bombs. He set up a
group called Jaish Mohammed (the army of Mohammed), made of
veterans of the Afghan war, which was responsible for several
explosions in Jordan.
 Bin Laden is accused of masterminding bombings at two
U.S. embassies in Africa last year."

SPECIAL UPDATE:

DEC. 28, (EIRNS)--


   EIR EXPOSED GROUP BEHIND ONGOING INDIA AIR

HIJACKING IN 1995 SERIES ON THE NEW INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM.


The Kashmir terrorist group responsible for the five-day ongoing
hijacking of an India Air jetliner, was profiled in detail in the
EIR four years ago. The expose of Harkat-ul-mujahideen,
previously known as Harkat-ul-ansar, was originally published in
"New Terror International Targets South Asia," in the Oct. 13,
1995 issue of {EIR} (see p.|56). We reprint the text of the
original introduction and dossier on the group from that EIR. It
will also be reprinted in next week's EIR, as part of our
coverage of the ongoing "Storm Over Asia" British-American-
Commonwealth (BAC) destabilization, which Lyndon LaRouche
detailed in the recently-released video by the same name.

From the 1995 EIR Special Report:

 The major terrorist organizations inside Pakistan and in the
northwestern areas of India, particularly in Punjab and Jammu and
Kashmir, are direct offspring of the afghansi operation, or have
been built, in part, in reaction to it, as in the case of the
Mohajir Quam Movement (MQM) in Pakistan. The primary target of
the afghansi in the region currently is the Indian-held sections
of Kashmir, where the British are hoping to instigate an all-out
war between India and Pakistan, or to create an independent
Kashmir, carved out of both India and Pakistan, which would give
British intelligence a direct foothold in this strategically
sensitive area that sits at the nexus of China, India,
Afghanistan, Russia, and Pakistan. The Sikh Khalistani movement,
which seeks to create an independent Sikh State out of India's
breadbasket state of Punjab, also operated under the protective

Re: [CTRL] FW: Tourists and Terrorists: Giuliani 2000

1999-12-29 Thread Ynr Chyldz Wyld

 -Caveat Lector-

 Roofs in Times Square will be manned by crack teams of
 police snipers with night vision scopes mounted on their
 high-powered rifles. Every parked car in a mile long three
 block wide strip of midtown will be towed to prevent the
 deployment of car bombs.

This is done every New Year in New York...for the past 20 years,
midtown Manhattan's been closed to vehicular traffic on New Year's
Eve, and cars are routinely towed that evening to make the streets
clear not only for the revelers, but for security and emergency
personnel to get thru.  The fact that they are doing it again this
year has nothing to do with Y2K, but SOP


 The party-going public will be
 herded cattle-like through an endless maze of police barricades
 and metal detectors and treated to body searches in below zero
 temperatures.

None of the local media's mentioned metal detectors or body searches,
neither did CNN in it's article on this on their website...but
again, police barricades in Times Square on New Years Eve has been
SOP for at least 20 years...


 Many attendees are expected to be arrested on
 the way to the event simply for possessing alcohol, a substance
 zero-tolerance Giuliani believes often leads to terroristic
 anti-social acts such as dancing, solicitation of prostitutes and
 public urination.

This is bullshit.  If you've ever been in midtown on St. Patrick's
Day for the parade, you'd know that the city's anti-open-container-
on-the-streets law is routinely ignored and just as routinely not
enforced by the cops.  I was almosted brained by a flying beer bottle
one year, while a cop stood right by me and did nothing.  I and my
companion also almost had our legs cut by revelers smashing vodka and
whiskey bottles on the pavement, and once again police were right
there and did nothing...

I've also done the Times Square thing on New Years Eve, twice in fact,
and neither time was the open-container ordinance enforced...I don't
see why the cops would change their SOP this year, especially since
active enforcement would encourage a riot...


 Manhole covers will be welded shut.

Already done.


 Every garbage can in midtown will be removed.

Not that New Year's revelers utilize them anyways...


 Are the enormous expenses of this event and it's
 unprecedented and ultimately futile security precautions worth
 the economic and social cost to the taxpayers of New York
 City?

Perhaps not...but going to Times Square for New Years is a long
standing tradition that won't be stopped, no matter what...

And not that I'm any fan of Giuliani's, but he was quoted in
the article that is obviously being misquoted here as saying to
the effect that if 2 million people were expected to attend, and
the city then cancelled it, then 4 million people would show up...

And that is very true...New Yorkers are a tough breed, and laugh
at the prospect of 'foreign terrorists'...


 This is not a Presidential inauguration, the signing of an
 international peace treaty or anything of genuine public value
 that justifies either the cost or the risks involved.

But all those Times Square revelers also spend quite a few dinaros
in the city, which helps make up the cost...not to mention the
public relations the city milks out of being almost the capital of
New Years Eve celebrations...


 Watching the ball drop on New Year's Eve was once an
 authentic celebration by actual New Yorkers who traveled by
 subway from ethnic neighborhoods in all five boroughs.

Bullshit.  Not that city dwellers don't attend, but it's always
been a mecca for out-of-town revelers, going back generations.
My parents talked about attending (1930s and 1940s), and the first
year I went (out-of-towner that I am), I met a middle-aged couple
from the midwest, who'd been coming to Times Square to celebrate
New Years Eve for every year since they first got married, in the
early 1950s...


 No sane New Yorker would venture
 anywhere near midtown as Giuliani pulls the lever on his
 Police State 2000.

Then you don't know New Yorkers...


 As the ball drops in Times Square on New Year's Eve let's
 hope we will be seeing the final curtain call in the career of
 Mayor Rudy Crueliani.

As I said, I'm no fan of Giuliani, but this piece sounds like it
was written by a troll from Hillary's camp...after all, Giuliani
is her main opponent...

[CTRL] Fwd:(Gold-Eagle)-Y2K Damn Y2K, Full Spin Ahead---via MT.

1999-12-29 Thread William Shannon

 -Caveat Lector-

Y2K Damn Y2K, Full Spin Ahead
You have to give Kossi the Klown his due. The good news is that his
disinformation campaign has succeeded brilliantly and thus prevented panic.
The bad news is that his disinformation campaign has succeeded brilliantly
and thus prevented any effective national or international preparation. Too
bad for Kossi the Klown et al, the computer code doesn't care. In eight days
Y2K's ruthless reality will strike without mercy, compassion or the slightest
concern about Kossi's carefully crafted spin procedures. While America has
slept kosiformed into a Rip Van Winkle sleep, Y2K has continued to unfold all
around us.

One wonders if Admiral Dewey's famous, "Damn the Torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead"
would be used to describe American go gettism, if the torpedoes had wiped out
his fleet, like the Dutch World War Two Admiral Doorman's was. The Dutch
Admiral ignored warnings about the Japanese Lance torpedo, with a range of
10,000 yards, and promptly got his fleet wiped out. American go gettism is a
national trait that has many merits; indeed, it is ingrained into the
national psyche of Americans. Unfortunately, every so often this American go
gettism leads to disaster, as in Custer and the Little Big Horn type. Y2K was
very susceptible to American go gettism several years ago. Now it is not.
With 8 days left, it's time to finally face reality. This essay will again
cover the international Y2K situation, with a comparison to the corporate
whore press. Yes, I know it's not nice to call them corporate whores, except
they are. Just as my GAO report I will go case by case over two recent
mainstream press reports on global Y2K readiness. I look at the data. They
look at the data. I reach conclusions based on the logic of the evidence.
They waffle. They wiffle. They waddle. And they have the nerve to call this
journalism? I call it moral cowardice and intellectual dishonesty, wrapped in
an arrogant liberal smugness. The American news media is like a smoke
detector with dead batteries. No one cares because it looks like the smoke
detector is ok-until a fire starts and people die.

The first article appeared in USA Today, the mcnugget of newspapers, on
December 6th, 1999 in the section entitled "The World Report." The headline
was "Y2K bug predicted to bite here and there." Well, for starters it will
bite everywhere. The sub headline was "Analysis: Computer failures most
likely in Ukraine, Russia, China, Indonesia; unlikely in Britain, Canada,
Australia and Singapore." Seems like that implies everywhere else will be ok,
which is not a factual statement. There are entire continents, Africa, South
America and Asia where significant Y2K effects are almost certain. The
intellectual dishonesty starts right with the headline. The headline should
have read, "Outside of Britain, Canada, Australia, Singapore and the United
States, computer failures likely." BSC consulting lists England and Australia
as questionable. And if these two "well prepared countries are questionable
then so is the United States.

Of course that might freak out the soccer moms and cause a panic. Kossi the
Klown doesn't want us to panic even though a terrorist was busted in Port
Angeles with 180 pounds of Urea and timers. Kossi doesn't want us to panic
even though Y2K will have documented severe global impact. One wonders
exactly when Kossi the Klown wants us to panic? Certainly not 18 months ago
when the panic might actually have led to people preparing in a somewhat
rational way for Y2K. 70% say they will do nothing. Let the blood guilt be on
Kossi's head, for he has lied to protect stock market capital instead of
human capital. And for that, people will turn on him, will turn on the whole
rotten elite, and rip them to pieces.

The main article goes on with a litany of bizarre statements about Thai
Buddhist calendars, US State Department useless chatter and a choice
statement from a Colombian computer expert who worries about-you guessed it-a
public panic. This in a country where dozens of Marines were slaughtered in a
battalion strength rebel attack on a fortified Naval base, just a few miles
from the Panama Canal. It seems to me that Colombians should be panicking,
but there I go again. The article continues on about how Russia is likely to
have "widespread telecommunications failures", but not to worry because the
missiles won't launch and the reactors won't melt down. Most of our diplomats
won't be there to find out firsthand since they are listed in a section
called, "Diplomats Pulling Out." I'm reassured.

There is a section on Indonesia that can only be described as comic relief.
The headline is "Bank Prints 50 million rupiah." This being equal to an ounce
of gold in American dollars. Couldn't resist this being Gold-Eagle.com.
Officially, the 100,000 Rupiah note is worth three silver ounces, about $15,
even though the article coyly admits that 25% of Indonesian banks closed,
"some after bank runs." We're then

RDX is going to be difficult to get in either country, smuggling could be a
necessity depending on the available source.  If I'm not mistaken urea is so
common that it is even used to de-ice airplanes.  Transporting large quantities of
white powder across the border is going to be suspicious and provoke a search even
if the substance is legal.

These people were obviously setup by someone as a distraction.

  The RDX, which is commonly used to make plastic explosives, was found in   a
medicine bottle in Ressam's possession, sources told NBC News.

I would certainly like to know the purity of the explosives that were found.  If
only trace amounts were found we can assume that it was provided by the
government.

[CTRL] Bauer says ease CIA restrictions

1999-12-29 Thread TenebrousT

 -Caveat Lector-

Well, good to know he is conforming so well to the "conservative" agenda.
While we're at it let's lift all those darned old restrictions, like the
proscriptions against human experimentation, and operations against people in
the USA.  They're just such a damned nuisance, after all if your "law
abiding" you shouldn't care if they are peering into your home and private
life, should you?  Remember that recent ruling by the courts that the police
don't need a search warrant to scan your house with an infrared or heat
sensing device (in order to look for illegal "pot" growing).  Never mind that
they could just as easily see you and what you're doing at the same time, but
that's not an invasion of privacy. . . certainly not.

Bauer Urges Easing CIA Restrictions

.c The Associated Press

 By MIKE GLOVER

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) - Conservative activist Gary Bauer called Wednesday for
easing restrictions on CIA operatives working to gather information abroad
about terrorist groups.

``I don't understand many of the restrictions in place for the CIA,'' said
Bauer. ``They've got the ability to discover in foreign countries what might
be planned or what might be happening with certain terrorist groups.''

Bauer pointed to recent arrests made of people who crossed into the country
carrying terrorist material as evidence that intelligence-gathering needs to
be strengthened.

``There are a lot of bureaucratic hurdles that the agency had to jump though
now that they didn't in the past,'' Bauer complained. This caused, he said,
``a very bad decline in the morale of the agents and the sense they had to be
so careful about how they used informants ... that we were missing out of a
lot of very important information. There have been a number of embarrassments
lately.''

Former CIA director James Woolsey has complained that rules governing how
foreigners are used as informants have become overly restrictive, preventing
operatives from using as informants human rights violators.

As he opened a two-day campaign swing in Iowa, where caucuses Jan. 24 launch
the presidential nominating season, Bauer pointed to the border episodes as
evidence that intelligence gathering is lacking.

``I think we've got to be more serious about securing our borders,'' said
Bauer. Bauer said he spoke with Woolsey about the issue and shares his
concern. ``In the last 20 years we've put restrictions on both the CIA and
the FBI on what they are allowed to do to counter situations like this.''

Bauer said he favored the restrictions on the FBI, but argued for loosening
procedures for CIA agents abroad. He quickly added that he favors a ban on
the CIA operating domestically.

The CIA rejects suggestions that the restrictions interfere with intelligence
gathering.

Bauer's comments came during a town meeting in this city 35 miles east of Des
Moines, attending by 10 supporters. Bauer is seeking the GOP presidential
nomination and most of his rivals have taken the holidays off. The campaign
was to underscore his commitment, Bauer argued.

``I decided I would work harder than anybody else,'' said Bauer, who conceded
he had concerns about scheduling a campaign trip during the busy holiday
season.

``I was afraid I'd be talking to myself,'' said Bauer.

Are you the type of person that if the rapist (klintoon) was standing

you would you feel safe alone with him?

 The "nuclear family" as a widespread social phenomenon emerged in the United
 States only during the late 1940's, as ex-GI's returning from the war took
 advantage of VA loans to acquire their own homes. It flourished during the
 1950's and early '60's, but began to disappear in the late '60's, as
 alternative forms of the family began to take shape. These alternatives were
 not necessarily multi-generational families (although for a good bit of my
 life I lived with three and even four generations under one or two roofs);
 they included unmarried couples, both straight and gay, in short-term
 relationships; ditto, but in long-term committed relationships; multiple
 couples sharing living space; polymorphous-perverse assemblages; and every
 conceivable combination in between. As divorce has become more accepted,
 something often called "serial monogamy" has come into being...i.e., being
 faithful to one partner at a time. (The multi-generational arrangements are
 better for children, of course.) Another widespread phenomenon is
 grandparents raising grandchildren, for a variety of reasons.

 If anyone can find the nuclear family in all of this hodgepodge, go to it...

 Deposition by president's mother raises questions about his role

 © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com

 Did Bill Clinton influence the Arkansas medical examiner in 1981
 to ignore available evidence and instead make his autopsy
 findings favor Clinton's mother, a nurse-anesthetist embroiled in
 two accidental hospital deaths and a wrongful death lawsuit?

 A new Arkansas scandal book sheds light on Bill Clinton's mother,
 Virginia Kelley, and the role she played in the deaths of two
 women at a Hot Springs hospital in 1978 and 1981.

 Laura Slayton died in 1978 while Kelley was providing anesthesia.
 Susie Deer died in 1981 because of Kelley's alleged incompetence.

 "The Boys on the Tracks," written by Arkansas Times columnist
 Mara Leveritt, deals with the mysterious murders of two teenage
 boys in 1987, but it also focuses on Virginia Kelley's
 involvement in two cases of negligent homicide.

 Leveritt points the finger at Dr. Fahmy Malak, Arkansas' former
 medical examiner who conducted the autopsies on the teenage boys
 and also absolved Kelley of responsibility for the death of Susie
 Deer. Clinton had hired Malak during his first term as governor
 and protected the medical examiner from being removed -- until he
 launched his presidential bid.

 Incompetence and death Virginia Kelley, now deceased, was a
 nurse-anesthetist who worked at Ouachita Memorial Hospital in Hot
 Springs, Ark. in the late '70s and early '80s.

 In 1981, Kelley was named in a lawsuit over the death of Laura
 Lee Slayton, who died in 1978 while undergoing minor surgery at
 Ouachita. Kelley was the anesthetist during the surgery. The
 surgeon was also sued for failing to properly supervise Kelley.
 Eventually, Slayton's family dropped the case against the
 surgeon, while Kelley settled out of court and paid the family
 $90,000 in damages.

 In June 1981, just two months after the Slayton lawsuit was
 filed, Kelley became embroiled in a second hospital death. This
 time it involved a 17-year-old mother. Susie Deer had been riding
 in the back of a car when someone in the car yelled a racial
 epithet at Billy Ray Washington, a black man, and his wife who
 were walking home. In retaliation, Washington picked up a chunk
 of concrete and threw it through the back window of the car,
 hitting Deer in the face.

 Deer was admitted to the hospital and underwent surgery to repair
 broken teeth and injuries to her face. Three hours into the
 operation, Virginia Kelley was asked by her surgeon to transfer
 an oxygen tube from Deer's nose to her throat. According to
 Leveritt, after Kelley inserted the tube into her throat, vomit
 began coming up through the tube. The surgeons realized she had
 put the tube down into Deer's stomach instead of her lungs.
 Kelley tried at least twice to correct her mistake, but couldn't
 do it. Dr. James Griffin took over for her. By that time Deer had
 gone into cardiac arrest, and died an hour later.

 Deer's death had to be investigated, and the findings of the
 medical examiner, "were going to be very important to Virginia
 Kelley's career," according to Leveritt.

 Then-Arkansas Medical Examiner Dr. Fahmy Malak performed the
 autopsy on Deer and ruled that she had died of blunt trauma to
 the head.

 Mad Cow, Brain Disease Said Linked

 .c The Associated Press

  BY PAUL RECER

 WASHINGTON (AP) - A laboratory experiment gives powerful new evidence that an
 infectious protein that causes mad cow disease also causes a new type of
 fatal human brain disease that has killed 51 people in Europe.

 The study, appearing Tuesday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
 Sciences, makes clear that people in Britain who developed a new type of
 Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease could have gotten it from eating meat from cattle
 infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the so-called mad cow
 disease. The brain disease has not been found in America.

 Experts said the study also suggests the infectious protein, called prion,
 that causes the diseases can move more easily between species more easily
 than once believed.

 ``These findings argue unequivocally that BSE and the new variant CJD are the
 same strain of prion,'' said Dr. Stephen DeArmond, a researcher at the
 University of California, San Francisco, and a senior author of the study.

 An outbreak of BSE occurred in British cattle early this decade. Later, some
 people in Britain developed a new, more deadly type of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob
 disease. In 1996, experts suggested mad cow disease possibly could be linked
 to the brain-wasting human disease.

 The European Union banned import of British beef for three years until last
 August. France still denies import of the meat. Officials in Britain banned
 sale of bone-in domestic beef in 1997 and lifted the sanction last Thursday.

 More than 175,000 British cattle died of BSE during the 1990s. At least 48
 people in Britain have died of the new form of CJD, along with two in France
 and one in Ireland. Neither disease has been detected in the United States.

 Although a link between mad cow disease and the new type of CJD had been
 suggested, there were experts who questioned the connection and contended a
 true scientific link was lacking. The new San Francisco study virtually
 removes doubt, said Dr. Donald Price, a neurological disease researcher at
 Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

 ``This lends new credence to the idea that the new variant CJD is a direct
 result of consuming products from animals with BSE,'' Price said Monday. ``It
 is something the European community should be concerned about.''

 Officials for the British health and agricultural departments in London
 declined comment Monday, saying they have not yet read the new study.

 Since the new form of CJD is thought to have an incubation period of at least
 10 years, experts say it is impossible to know now how many people have been
 infected.

 Co-authors of the study include Dr. Stanley Prusinger, a UCSF professor who
 won a Nobel Prize in 1997 for his discovery that the protein prion caused BSE.

 In the study, researchers created a strain of mice that had genes for the
 normal form of bovine prion protein. The mice were inoculated with prions
 taken from diseased cows.

 After 250 days, the test mice all developed neurological disease.

 In another group of the mice, the researchers injected priors taken from
 patients who had the new form of CJD. After 250 days, these mice also
 developed neurological disease.

 Prions from the diseased mice were then injected into a third group of mice.
 They also developed the disease.

 DeArmond said the mice with the disease had identical symptoms and incubation
 periods. Also, a microscopic examination of their brains found the same type
 of lesions. In CJD, the brain is pocked with holes caused by the death of
 cells.

 Mice injected with scrapie, a sheep form of prion disease, got neurological
 disease, but it was different from the infection linked to BSE, researchers
 said.

 BSE is thought to have developed in British cattle whose feed contained
 protein from sheep that had been infected with scrapie. Britain now bans the
 use of animal parts in cattle feed. In the United States, the FDA issued a
 similar ban in 1997.

 Prions, a name that stands for ``infectious particles,'' usually are normal
 proteins found in most mammals. But when the prion shape is changed - either
 from infection or from contact with another malformed prion - the particle
 can cause brain disease.

 Because it attacks the brain, symptoms can include bizarre behavior in
 animals. For this reason, BSE is often called ``mad cow disease.

  Y2K - Yourdon Says 
  He Was Wrong - It's 
  Going To Be WORSE
  Ed Yourdon's I know what I know!
  http://www.yourdon.com/
  12-29-99
  
  
  
  

  

I hereby admit I was wrong.  It will be worse.

A couple of years ago, I put forward the idea that the
combined effects of Y2K and the collapse of the stock market bubble would
lead to a devolutionary spiral, somewhat analogous to the fall
 of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the dark ages.  At the end of
one of these articles I concluded Of course, I could be wrong.  It
could be worse  In another article I showed, mathematically, that
the Y2K problem could never be completely solved and that the residual
failures resulting from the fixes themselves would be enough to cause significant
economic impacts, even without failures from all of the unfixed systems.
 I also predicted, perhaps overoptimistically, that the stock market bubble
would burst in the first quarter of 1999.  I hereby admit I was wrong.
 It will be worse.

I was wrong about the timing of that collapse, but not
about the state of Y2K or about the eventual crash of bubble.com.  I am
so very, very sorry it didn't collapse when I predicted.  Not because I
want it to happen, but because the delay means that the final crash will
indeed be much, much worse than it needed to be.  If the market collapse
had occurred at the end of 1998 or beginning of 1999, as it logically should
have, there would have been a full year for everyone to revise their expectations
and to make major economic, budgetary and business planning changes before
Y2K itself slams us in the first quarter of 2000.  A collapse back then
could still have been partially controlled, the market did not have so
far to fall, and the first business failures and unemployment situations
could have been handled with a mostly functional infrastructure and support
systems. In short, we would have been forced (and able) to make realistic,
useful contingency plans instead of relying on the nonsensical, irrational
and mathematically impossible concept that Y2K has actually been fixed.

It is now completely inevitable that Y2K and the bursting
of bubble.com will occur at one and the same time, leading rapidly to a
new Great Depression far worse, far deeper and far longer lasting than
that of the 1930's.  Because of the confluence of these and other events,
I am now also convinced that we will also see a complete breakdown of the
global monetary system, a series of vicious dictatorships and, within ten
years, World War Three.  Instead of 66% over fifty years, I now expect
more than 90% of the world population will die within the next ten years.
 But, again, it could be worse. If a major nuclear exchange cannot be avoided
in World War Three, the human race will quite simply cease to exist.  Under
present global political conditions, I consider this to be a very real
possibility, if not yet a probability.

Either way, as a species, we have lost our one chance
to get off this planet and to survive, long term, as a civilized race among
the stars.  (I am referring here to my own Devolution theory, to the Olduvai
theory, to astronomer Hoyle's  similar theory, and to other scientifically
based approaches which predict that we have only one shot at developing
a successful technology based civilization).

I know this will likely get the pollys jumping up and
down on their perches but, frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.  The time
for debate ended about a year ago and there is no longer any useful purpose
to be served in countering the polly arguments  --  their damage has already
been done, the lives of innocents have already been recklessly endangered,
and previously possible recovery efforts have already been sabotaged by
the shortage of bits in their processors. We'll let them squawk later,
when we clean out their cage in the bubblegate trials.  Until then remember
that, although able to repeat complex sentences over and over again when
carefully taught, polly's comprehension of the related subject matter is
limited by an intellectual capacity roughly equivalent to that of a three
year old child.

To regular readers, who know that I rarely insult my
opponents, I apologize for the above.  I also apologize to my own parrot
for dragging him down to this level.  But, after all the vicious attacks
so many of the pollys have made on me over the last few years, just for
once, I couldn't resist the temptation.  It's about as close as I normally
get to losing my temper, so please forgive me, because this article is
not aimed at them but

Lewinsky was born in ? but was certainly not more that
20 when it happened.

 There's a legal finesse-point or two that I don't pretend to
 understand here.

 Tripp maintains she didn't know that what she was doing was not
 protected (Maryland's law, from what I've read, immunizes those
 who don't comprehend the illegality of recording).  Today's
 testimony clarifies this not at all.  If she were counseled that
 the "grant of immunity... would make it difficult for any state
 prosecutor to use her recorded conversations as evidence in a
 criminal proceeding", then it would sensibly seem to be a
 get-out-of-jail-free card for Tripp.  Bennett testified, "[We
 made] the task (of state prosecution) insurmountable." Certainly
 this testimony would argue *against* the hysteric "Hung Out To
 Dry!" headline on Drudge.  Unless I'm missing something.

 Secondly, Tripp's recording always (as far as I know) crossed
 State lines and would therefore seem to be a Federal issue, over
 which Starr's office's immunity grant would seem to be
 unequivocal.

 Could somebody please explain why this isn't a slam-dunk for
 Tripp?

 Starr staffers say Tripp not guaranteed protection
 Updated 2:20 PM ET December 13, 1999
 By David Morgan

 ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (Reuters) - Linda Tripp, whose secretly
 recorded phone conversations with Monica Lewinsky led to
 President Clinton's impeachment, was never guaranteed protection
 against state charges she violated Maryland's wiretap laws, an
 independent counsel's office lawyer said Monday.

 Investigators from the office of former independent counsel
 Kenneth Starr instead offered the former White House secretary a
 grant of immunity that they believed would make it difficult for
 any state prosecutor to use her recorded conversations as
 evidence in a criminal proceeding.

 "We told her the state of Maryland was a separate sovereign (from
 the federal government) and that they may ultimately be able to
 return an indictment against her," Stephen Binhak, a federal
 prosecutor attached to Starr's office, testified at the start of
 a hearing in Howard County Circuit Court that will determine
 whether Tripp should be tried on two criminal counts of violating
 the Maryland wiretap statute.

 Jackie Bennett, the Starr deputy who signed Tripp's immunity
 letter, said, "What we could do, and intended to so, and did do,
 was to make the task (of state prosecution) insurmountable."

 Tripp secretly taped more than 20 conversations in which Lewinsky
 discussed her illicit affair with Clinton. Some were taped from
 Tripp's Maryland home, violating the state law that makes it a
 crime to record telephone conversations unless all parties
 consent to it.

 The best form of protection Tripp could hope for, Binhak said,
 was a grant of federal immunity "that would make it
 extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible for the state of
 Maryland to use those tapes in the prosecution of a criminal
 case."

 Binhak, one of four former Starr staffers to take the stand
 Monday, testified that "Mrs. Tripp was not grasping the
 technicalities" of her legal situation when she first met at her
 home with four members of Starr's staff around midnight on Jan.
 12, 1998.

 But now, nearly two years later, that same distinction could be
 crucial for the Columbia, Maryland, woman who faces up to five
 years in prison and $10,000 in fines on each count if convicted.

 Howard County Circuit Judge Diane Leasure was expected to rule in
 open court Tuesday morning as to whether Tripp's immunity began
 on Jan. 16, when Starr's office gave her a letter of immunity and
 subpoenaed her tape-recordings of conversations with Lewinsky, or
 on Feb. 19, when it was officially ordered by a federal judge in
 Washington.

 Tripp's attorneys, who want the case dismissed, claim her
 immunity protection began on the earlier date. If Leasure agrees,
 prosecutors will lose a crucial piece of evidence, namely a taped
 conversation with Lewinsky from Dec. 22, 1997.

 Tripp is charged specifically with making the tape and sharing
 its contents with a reporter from Newsweek magazine.

 On Monday, Tripp was absent from court but submitted a sworn
 affidavit maintaining that she would never have come forward with
 her evidence against Clinton without Starr's immunity letter and

[CTRL] [Hel-LOW!] Do We Live in INTERESTING TIMES?!? (fwd)

1999-12-29 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

 -Caveat Lector-

All of you guys know the ancient Chinese CURSE (at least all the
old-timers know what this 'curse' means, from past discussion),
i.e., "May You Live In Interesting Times," RIEEGHT?!?

WELL?!?!

In your opinions, DO YOU BELIEVE WE ARE NOW LIVING IN INTERESTING
TIMES, i.e., IS OUR WORLD ABOUT TO BE ROCKED, BIG TIME?!?!?

The time IS NOW, i.e., when such a curse has the most potential
prophetic meaning.

In other words, WITHIN THE NEXT 10 MONTHS, in your opinions, ARE
WE LIVING IN "INTERESTING TIMES," i.e., WILL the world, as we've
known it over the last 100-200 years CHANGE in the IMMEDIATE
future, or not??

OBVIOUSLY, GOOD answers to this question will ONLY be of
interest/value over the next several days, i.e., now is the time
to pose your answers/opinions, because in a few days thru the
next 10 months, wellall this will be HIND SIGHT!

Please!  I know, AND RESPECT, the people on this list as being
among the most learned and intelligent in the world, and I am
MOST curious as to the extent of "Centurion" or "Millennium
fever" that SOME OF THE BRIGHTEST THINKERS IN THE WORLD are
experiencing NOW, and what their INNER MOST THOUGHTS/OPINIONS as
to what THE WORLD will experience over the next several months
may be.


And thanks:)

Love you guys,

Mike

P.S.  The thing that prompted this post was the following URL,
i.e., a year ago I had ONLY the MOST grave/dire opinions of the
final outcome as to this "Y2K transition" thing, i.e., our
ultimate outcome,HOWEVER, over the last month or two I have
actually begun to feel I may have over estimated the potential
for it all, i.e., EASED UP _BIG TIME_.  Well, then I read the
following URL:(

http://x26.deja.com/threadmsg_if.xp?AN=565458822CONTEXT=946339034.1942290455th
itnum=6

Let me just add, that after I read this, ALL THE EXTENSIVE
PLANNING/HOARDING, etc, that I've done for my family...well, it
seems it JUST MIGHT/COULD have been WELL WORTH MY EFFORTS!

READ THE ABOVE URL, and give your opinions SOON, while they're
still of any "PROPHETIC" value.

And, just in case you can't (for some reason), I will forward a
few excerpts from it IMMEDIATELY, under the subject line,
"OPINIONS."

Subject: Bovine Scatology or Truth?: Infomagic's Final Y2K Declaration
Experienced Programmer Outlines, In Detail,
 How We've Been Lied To  What the Consequences Will Likely Be...



http://x26.deja.com/threadmsg_if.xp?AN=565458822CONTEXT=946339034.1942290455thitnum=6


IAHF LIST: The article on the website above was written by a very
experienced computer programer using the pseudonym "infomagic"
who was working on y2k repairs until it became apparent to him
that his efforts were futile due to managements and politicians
arrogant unwillingness to focus on contingency planning, but to
instead conclude that the impossible was possible: that a
complete repair was the only acceptable thing to shoot for.


This has resulted in massive lies being told by people trying to
protect their jobs, as Infomagic reveals in
detail.bolditalicunderlineHE/underline/italic/bold
was bolditalicunderlineasked to lie at one
point/underline/italic/bold by someone trying to protect
their job, and he explains in detail, how we are ALL being lied
to, how the percentages we're being quoted are meaningless...how
the numbers are being cooked in order to deceive.


When it became apparent to him that it was morally wrong to even
work on y2k repairs that had no chance to succeed, in which
people were being massively conned by constant lying, and in
which they should have been working on contingency plans, but
weren't- Infomagic disappeared for a year,choosing to simply try
to enjoy life despite what he sees, and has only returned to
issue this final statement.


What this experienced programmer relates here is not for the
faint of heart. It is the most horrificly detailed doomsday
article on y2k that I've ever read, but none of us can affort NOT
to read it because Infomagic is obviously speaking the plain
unvarnished truth about how we've been lied to, and what the
consequences will be. In a nutshell, infomagic says that he
originally erred in estimating the timing of the breaking of the
stockmarket bubble which he previously thought would have
happened by now, which he feels wouldn't have been as bad. Now he
feels that it will coincide with with y2k, to have a far worse
over all impact.


Further, he feels that on top of y2k we have a problem that he
calls the "GO Crisis" or Gold/Oil Crisis, which he describes in
detail. In a nutshell, what he's saying is that the Arabs won't
accept our dollars or any other currency not backed by gold. They
want GOLD, which we no longer have to pay them, and when we
wouldn't pay them in Gold back in '73, it prompted the oil
embargo that we had at that time.


He's saying that none of the world's currencies are backed by
Gold, but that the Arabs insist on it, and he feels this is
leading up to an inevitable WWIII which will be triggered by the
horrible economic conditions soon to arise from y2k,as well as by
the lack of available gold. He feels that in 10 years, 90% of the
world's population is likely to be wiped out by the coming melt
down, war, and by plagues resulting from lack of sanitary
drinking water, lack of sewage treatment, nuclear accidents and
strikes, chemical plant failures, and the huge number of corpses.


Bovine Scatology or Truth? You be the judge. After reading this,
I'm going back out to stock up on even MORE food and other
supplies. It takes a LOT to get me rattled, and THIS REALLY HAS.

[CTRL] Mike: my opinion of the INTERESTING TIMES

1999-12-29 Thread Edward Britton

 -Caveat Lector-

Mike:

If you want my opinion regarding the next three months--and based on my
rather extensive research and intellect (that's for you, June :-))--the
answer is simple: we are likely to experience the "blooming" of every
imaginable kind of nut-case, both inside and out of various circles of
power, popping up like mushrooms on a damp river bed.

The pandemonium that I expect will make any potential glitches in computers
look like a cake walk. The next six months will be the time when "the
powers that be" will instigate and initiate whatever it is that they have
in store for us by whatever fantastic means that they have at their disposal.

What you are looking at, sir, is the temporal equivalent of the
metaphorical and literal "critical mass" of all current conspiracy theory.
Whatever it is, if there actually is an "it," will be brought to fruition
during this time. So will be the efforts of many to resist, again by
whatever means, all real and imagined tyranny resulting from the
aforementioned "it." That these times will be interesting is an
understatement of egregious magnitude! :-) If ever there were a time for
each member of the human race to do their own thinking, now is it.

Now, I'm going to this site to find out whatever has gotten you so upset.

Re: [CTRL] [MC] Possession and Black Magic

1999-12-29 Thread Jabr 333

 -Caveat Lector-

M:

About possession -- I have some thoughts on this.  I feel you may be wrong
Marcel -- the possession may be very voodou-ish.  However, I look at this
thing differently too in ways -- as I am a strong believer in the fact that
"they" (whether voodou cult or other satanic cult or Crowley satanic cult or
good ole boys cult,ie., freemason ilk, ) -- no matter which group may have
targeted and is using the person, they seem to employ the same CIA-early on,
weapons - buddies - psycho-drugs - and usurping of victim's resources as all
usually victims usually relate to.  The reason I say it may be very voodouish
-- is that all the elements really do point to this I know.  And, pardon my
anger, not directed towards Blacks NOT affiliated with the Company (CIA) and
in the pimp realm.  This info comes from my experience knowing an
international paramilitary group ("Arian") for a year -- the paramilitary
group I knew USED black CIA contacts and black front men to stalk, stage
extended victim residence assaults, they used black guys to handle physical
mind control programming sessions, they used black people in hospitals to
harm victims and guard them in the facilities -- they used black nurses and
orderlies to bring in implant stuff and take out body organ material to other
places (unknown).  Blacks were VERY involved in the staging of mind control
victim's assaults -- VERY involved.  They were seen by neighbors outside my
residence stalking it as major chemical violence erupted against me in 1994 -
1995 -- they assaulted me physically IN my residence for a full year -- and
yet, I had a good black friend from the Bronx come to my aide at one point
too -- someone I had trusted 7 years.

But, back to voodou -- a great deal about Haitian and other Caribbean rituals
fits the sort of assaults these victims encounter.  The Caribbean rituals of
Santeria are the overarching rituals which set the stage for mind control
assaults and the CIA was studying these early on in the 40s, I believe
according to G. Thomas.  Santeria has two forms of magic -- white-black or
black-black.  The black-black is the more malign and intensely
chaotic-violent form -- a death format.  Ruthless psychological take-overs of
their beings by outsiders -- is part of the possession stuff.  Of course most
of this possession stuff could be accomplished with drugs.  And a great deal
could be accomplished with implants and remote-feeds into them.

I remember 3 years ago doing this extensive look at Santeria -- realizing
that this stuff fit mind control victim's scenarios and only recently
re-visiting it, believing that it was still very relevant.  Santeria is the
basis of New Orleans voodou cult workings, realize.  And torture is the
underlying precept to the sexual nature of murder.

Some mind control victims are probably linked through implants on telepathy
feeds to creatures of the deep and humans who LIKE the frequency sends OFF Of
the implants -- this may be sexual for them -- so victims may wind up
tortured so that the creatures (human or not) get the good feelings.  This is
the principal behind "snuff videos" -- they use badly implanted victims in
horrendously painful deaths (using chain saws, etc.) on them -- and the
"sends" off of the implants s these victims die is sexual for the person
watching the video.  See Videodrome film.  All of this may well be part of
the Caribbean ritual system  -- the implants (some of which may be organic
and have been used for centuries, others may be of exotic materials) -- and
may have been used in Africa and Europe, as well as throughout N.A. --
brought over by slaves.  Then distributed throughout Caribbean.  Santeria
goes back at least 150 years, past that I am not sure.  While mixed with
elements of Christianity -- it was not originally probably ever originally
connected to this religion, but pagan in origin, as my research says.

--  The CIA, it appears -- founded its horrendously psychotic drug image
-- upon that of black pimps -- who were USING the Santeria cult's secretive
drugs and some of these mind control tactics (later mixed probably with
Chinese brainwashing and Nazi brainwashing tactics) for crowd control and
victim control.  Pimps were probably using implants as ways to own and
control prostitutes they coveted.  But once the CIA saw the clandestine drugs
(NOT narcotics but obcession drugs, control drugs, hallucinogens, and sex
drugs -- like steroids) that cults had access to, and the money people would
pay for this stuff on the outside to set up their lives, the CIA saw a huge,
and consistent income as well as a control network upon which to build their
empire.  In this vein, probably a whole new crime syndicate evolved after
WWII -- maybe much earlier -- even around revolutionary war times -- in U.S.
Blacks may have been enslaved in fact because of their personal "possession"
of the devil, as whites perceived this early on.  And enslaved by white
society because elements in the
