[CTRL] Bichon Frise Dog Falls Victim to 'Road Rage'
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Bichon Frise Dog Falls Victim to 'Road Rage' Updated 12:10 PM ET March 3, 2000 SAN JOSE, Calif. (Reuters) - In what police call a bizarre incident of road rage, an infuriated driver grabbed a lap dog from another car and hurled it into oncoming traffic, killing the beloved family pet. Sara McBurnett, owner of the 10-year-old Bichon Frise dog named "Leo", said the attack occurred after a minor fender bender in heavy traffic near the San Jose, Calif., airport. "I just tapped his bumper," McBurnett told Thursday's San Jose Mercury News. The driver of the other car, a black sport utility vehicle with Virginia license plates, stormed back and began berating McBurnett. When she opened her window to respond, he reached in, grabbed the small white dog by the collar, and threw it into three lanes of oncoming traffic. "I'm not doing well," a sobbing McBurnett told the newspaper, relating the Feb. 11 incident. "I keep seeing his little body going under the car. He made a sound I've never heard before. My heart is broken. He was my baby." Police said they were pursuing the incident as a case of animal cruelty, and a $5,000 reward has been offered for tips leading to arrest of the suspect, described as a white man in his 20s with a slight build and a goatee. But without license plate numbers or any other identifying information, police said they needed a lucky break. "I have to be honest. We don't have a lot to go on here," San Jose Police Sgt Derek Edwards said.

[CTRL] Fw: Who would Build a church on the Sabbath?
Peace and Blessings Alan, NO! I am NOT happy. I am broken hearted at this crime against God and the Martyrs. I will lift up a loud CRY. For I am the Watchman Isa.58[1] Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. The Sabbath is spoken of 197 times in the Holy Bible. The people that were killed at New Jerusalem (Mt.Carmel). by the forces of Babylon kept that Sabbath, they love not their live even unto death. They honored the Words of Lord of the worlds. Who would build this church on the ground that ran red with the blood of men, woman and children for the word of God? The only ones that could do such a sinful act before the eyes of the people of the world and God are those that have forgotten the Book. Exod.20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. There is no excuse for this for this action. For the past three years I have lived at New Jerusalem where the land has been desolate accept for my care. For seven years it has been a waist land. Now that the Beast has decided to make a show. He puts his tabernacle where David's was and calls the foolish to honor it. It is an Abomination that will, according to the Word of the Lord in the Seventy Week prophesy, be totally destroyed. Da 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Da 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. David taught that he was the Daily. We know thatb means a sacrfice. He was working to open the Sixth Seal. So naturally after the taking away of the Daily there is to be Seventy Weeks just before the reserection in Daneil 12. Da 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. According to the teachings for which these people gave their lives we are about to experience the terror of the Reserection. [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;[13] And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.[14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.[15] And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;[16] And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:[17] For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

[CTRL] Finishing Off the FAKE Branch Davidians
Dear Folks, There has been a great deal of misinformation about Waco and New Jerusalem where 82 human beings were hacked to death before the fire by the Bill Clinton murderers of the Children of Waco. The media which is Zionist controlled, is more guilty than the pigs that did the slaughtering, because they continue to murder the minds of the people. The article bellow is an example of this psychopathic component of our society. This is our National shame! If we do nothing about these children of darkness they will be our damnation. I am the Watchman for the Martyrs. I am sounding an ALARM. The new church is an Abomination because the foundation was laid on the Sabbath. For sounding this alarm I have been attacked and slandered, even thrown in jail. I will not be silent! I will declare this truth even in my death and when I stand before my Lord I will declare the truth continually. The FAKE Davidians that are occupying New Jerusalem (Mt.Carmel) will not tell you the truth of what David taught. 1.Christ returns to Waco 2.There will be an Earth quake here soon, followed by a great flood. 3. The Seventy Week Prophesy is to be fulfilled at this time. 4. Koresh comes from Iran to destroy this government and set up the Kingdom of God. Why don't they warn the people? It is simple these are the people that Murdered 82 human beings to keep you from hearing this truth. The writer below Sharleen A.K.A. Janice A.K.A. Clinton Mouth Piece, is an example of the ZOG agents of the Bill Clinton Murders of the Children of Waco. Know this that the Government is still very much in control down here.or do you think that they are sorry for what they did. The Zionist Media are working over time on our minds in hopes of capturing our souls. Their only problem is that we are not all sleeping and will fight them until the return of the Lord!!! The Philadelphian, Andrew Sharleen Wrote: All of this makes me very angry. And angrier still, that I cannot do anything to make this mess below stop. How DARE the KKK even show their faces at Mt. Carmel! They were at the roadblock during the siege, telling agents they were more than willing to help out, ( help attack the church, so the standoff would end), saying, We're volunteering our services, we're just sick of seeing it drag on so long. THEN they contact Mt. Carmel survivors 6 years later to offer help of another kind they want to help rebuild!? The survivors told them their help was not appreciated nor wanted. Cheers to them!But now, it appears KKK has been threatening people and the church with fire!Another person referred to in this letter below, (the attacks to e-mail addresses), has been banned from Waco Tragedy News for trying to spread his poison and general harassment of Mt. Carmel survivors and supporters. His ranting was of a 'mental patient' variety, and he has been arrested several times on Mt. Carmel property.Unfortunately, he has not been banned permanently from Mt. Carmel itself, and continues to be a thorn in their side. I commend Judith for writing this, and showing the rest of America, just how the abuse continues to this day.I pray for you all.~Sharlene~ Finishing Off the Branch Davidians by Judith Vinson There is any number of ways to kill people. They can be shot, burned alive, gassed or otherwise condemned to some kind of hell. If the observation that hell is the loss of hope, then the surviving Branch Davidians are destined for Hell. Apparently, for some, their departure will not be soon enough. Six months ago, there were about a hundred Americans from all over this country who decided to rebuild a modest church for the twenty surviving Branch Davidians. For the most part those survivors are elderly. Two are in there eighties. Some have been badly burned, with hands scarred into almost useless claws, or minus all their fingers, as in the case of one young girl who was 16 at the time. They have no families now, some no homes, and most are unemployable due to age or disabilities. When asked how they might be helped, they said they only hoped one day to have a little church in which to worship. It seemed a reasonable request considering this was America. A bank account was set up at Bank of America in Waco, Texas, with the name, Rebuildthechurch.com. At the time, the bank's name seemed more than appropriate. Rebuildthechurch.com was also the name of a web page where donors around the country might be shown pictures that have been put up every week showing the progress on the church. For six months now, donations have been received through that account. So far, the total from all sources has been $76,859.00. All spent on materials. Heroic volunteers who have given their Sundays for the last twenty-four weeks have donated the labor. One American hitch hiked all the way from West Virginia to donate a week of labor. Two weeks ago, the donations stopped when

Communist Tyrant Josef Stalin February 25, 2000 NA (Network America) e-wire Tide vs. Cheer P G Wins Either Way Did you ever notice how Tide ads really push Tide for washing your clothes with the best detergent possible. And Cheer ads do the same. But both are Proctor Gamble detergents. Whichever you choose, P G wins. Did you further know that P G would pit its Cincinnati offices against its St. Louis offices --- and if the Cincinnati plant could figure out how to get boxes of Tide into St. Louis supermarkets cheaper than the St. Louis plant so be it! This is much like the Bush vs. McCain contest unraveling before our eyes. I dont know whos more contemptible, the candidates, or the yucky-puke News anchors and analysts who are forced to feign excitement over the dullards -- if they want to keep their jobs. Like Proctor and Gamble, the Ruling Elite really pits the McCains against the Bushes and its a real fight for the privilege of being head empty suit.. But whether the Bush Cheer or the McCain Tide prevails the Ruling Elite wins either way. The other night I was watching Bush legitimately cry foul about the absurd GOP primary rules allowing Dems to participate -- and the McCain phone tactics, condemning W. Bush for going to Bob Jones U. when McCains own campaign spokesman, Cong. Lindsay Graham of impeach Clinton fame had accepted an award from Bob Jones U. last year! I found myself sympathizing with Bush and saying to myself, In this hes right on target. Of course, I was never tempted to believe that Bush was anything but a New World Order candidate. Such is not the case with most Americans, thanks to our deplorable news media. The hyping of the sorry McCain-Bush fight may be intended simply to make the mass of not-yet-awakened Republicans feel an affinity for W. Bush. Remember, Bush or McCain, the Ruling Elite wins either way. I know weve floated the other theory, that the McCain may be carried to the nomination early as a gambit to fool the Reform Party into endorsing him also, in order to stop Buchanan. And weve even floated a third theory: that the McCain Bush hair pulling match may be stretched out to August, in order to generate controversy that far out for the purpose of justifying the continued blocking out of news coverage for Buchanan (Reform), Phillips (Constitution), Nader (Green), and Browne (Libertarian) in that order. If this scenario develops, then this would be the first year we had a contested convention since 1976 when Ford and Reagan were jostling for votes at the convention itself. (This scenario would in all likelihood preclude a McCain run at the Reform nomination, since the GOP convention is after the Reform Convention, I believe.) There is evidence on the table that any one of these scenarios could develop, and we list them all in the hopes of raising the awareness of readers. But I do not claim to have any line to heaven on the future. All I know is that the Ruling Elite of the Permanent Revolution plays a sophisticated game of long term chess --- not a puerile game of checkers, as in Elephants vs. donkeys. In my judgement, Bush has an excellent on camera persona. He has that symmetry of features that makes the camera like some people, and dislike others. He has an all-American feel that will appeal to the casual observers in middle America, and those who dont feel confident to make up their own mind on matters political. (This is not a criticism. I, for instance, dont feel competent to make up my own mind on how to diagnose problems with my car engine.) And McCain has a legitimate war record, even if he made mistakes, even serious mistakes, in captivity. Gore is just gross. Bradley has turned out to be an also ran, to fool the Dems into thinking theyve had a contest. My point? The Ruling elite is focused on conning the American people, especially the more alert conservative faction of the population, for another 10 months. They just have to run out the clock past another Presidential election and get good Americans fighting each other and they have another four years to run for the goal post of world government. The still-brainwashed, those who havent woken up to the 5 Big TV network scam, are to be made to fight the alert, -- thats us. And all of you who see through the Big TV and computerized vote scam you can probably attest to the truth of that Biblical aphorism: Knowledge increaseth sorrow. Rush

[CTRL] OT: Atmospheric oxygen concentration dropping ?
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Hi, Maybe I've missed it, but I've seen no discussion, and lots of allegations, regarding a basic scientific issue: There is a rumor (or urban legend) to the effect that in recent centuries and decades, the Earth's atmospheric oxygen concentration has rapidly dropped from the 32-40% range, down to around 19-21% -- and then more recently (especially in big cities, it is alleged) to only 16-17%, or to even as low as 11-12% (depending upon who is retelling this slippery story). Now, is this entirely a matter of environmentalist doomsday "theology" -- perhaps driven by commercially or politically motivated propaganda ? Did someone "channel" this information, or is there scientific evidence to support some part of this ? (And if there is some amount of truth to this, where did the "missing" oxygen disappear to -- and what is taking its place, in the 100% of "something" making up what we're breathing ?) No, I'm not worried -- just a little concerned that no one (apparently) has seen fit to educate the media-led masses of people who are left to possibly believe (based on these rumors) that they and their kids can't be "really healthy, anymore," simply because "the oxygen is rapidly disappearing." Someone recently told me -- in dead earnest -- that "Ed McCabe told me" (when, I didn't ask) that these stories were factual. I did a search on "urban legend" and "oxygen" -- using www.alltheweb.com -- and was startled to find that (apparently) no one has written about this seeming life-or-death issue. Has anyone seen any logical, science-based discussions specifically confirming or disproving these persistent rumors ? How long have these stories been circulating ? Bill .

Also predictably, Sens. Schumer, Durbin and Lautenberg hastily called a press conference to promote their "Child Access Prevention" law, which includes Federal standards for the kind of gun vault we're to have. Not one of the proposals -- even the Washington Post's demand to prohibit all handgun sales -- could have prevented either of those tragedies. No guns or technologies exist to have guaranteed that 6- year-old couldn't have pulled the trigger, and it's ludicrous to contend that the crackhead who left that stolen .32 where it could be found would have kept a trigger lock on it. Nor would that kind of brain-fried druggie been concerned about civil or criminal liability for letting the boy get his stolen gun. Michigan already has such a law. Nor would a "gun-free schools" law -- the adult version of running around a school yard shouting "King's X" -- have made any difference. Michigan has one of those laws, too. But logic, reason, and the existence of laws up to and including prohibiting murder don't matter. The only time the anti-gun crowd can make any progress is when they're dancing in the blood of fresh victims. And they're dancing. * Editor: Source FBI Uniform Crime statistics. The true figure for deaths of kids under 15 is under 900 and has been dropping for years. The last year we have statistics for is 98 and the deaths were 897. And that was the lowest in 30 years. Michigan has handgun licensing and registration and this did nothing to prevent the murder. The school shooting this week was done with a stolen gun taken from a crack house, which was full of stolen guns. According to the Associated Press, the 6 year old murderer lived in a "flophouse" and used a stolen handgun he found in a bedroom there, a prosecutor said today. Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur Busch said the home was frequented by strangers. "This boy comes from a very troubled home," Busch said on NBC's "Today" show. "He is really a victim of a drug culture and a house that's really in chaos." He got in fights, according to some, where his reactions were considered "extreme" by fellow students, parents, and teachers alike. And yet he was permitted to hang his coat alongside those of children who pick up their toys and play nice with others. He was allowed to enter into a place of learning with thoughts of murder (and don't for a moment think that kid didn't have a good sense of criminal intent: he hid the gun and then lied about giving it to another student, whom he claimed did the shooting). In October 1999, a 14-year-old Houston boy was charged with killing a 13-year-old classmate by stabbing him in the head with a screwdriver at Deady Middle School in Houston.

From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: Conspiracy Shopping Cart: http://a-albionic.com/shopping.html From: Kasten, Kathy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MC] Tavistock - correction Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2000 11:45 AM Dear Lyn: Tavistock was started in 1921 (see URL listed below), NOT 1947. In 1947, the name was changed. Now, ask yourself what was going on for 46 years that cannot be not made public. That is the best kept secret. The reason for the error? I think most people are quoting David Icke. I tried to correct Icke years ago over drinks at the L.A. Hilton. In my literature searches, I came across information that discussed (that citation is buried somewhere in one of my piles of papers) the fact that Tavistock during the late 20s, 30s and early 40s was used as a school to train children in certain mind techniques; the policy of the school was something like "give me the mind of a child and I will mold it." I never could find any more documentation on what "mind techniques" were being researched using English children, and so dropped that line of inquiry. Naturally, because Icke claimed to have reliable sources, I had thought he knew about Tavistock's history before 1947. Apparently, Icke knew less than I did.

[CTRL] [4] GREENSPAN REPORTEDLY AIDS AND BRIBES GEORGE BUSH and FAMILY
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Click Here: A HREF="http://www.skolnicksreport.com/greenspan4.html"Sherman Skolnick's Report/A - Home Page Sherman H. Skolnick Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GREENSPAN REPORTEDLY AIDS AND BRIBES GEORGE BUSH and FAMILY, Part Four by Sherman H. Skolnick More about WHY and HOW Foster was Murdered and the Reputed Role of Redspan/Bush. [Note: we decided to call this Part Four instead of Part Three, Section 2]. The suppressed report of the retired intelligence agents showed that Vincent W. Foster, Jr., was a high-ranking official of the super-secret National Security Agency, NSA. There was no actual title for him. In effect, however, Foster was the Chief of Bank spying, operating jointly with Alan Greenspan, the bank dictator who is like a Soviet Commissar, hence, called by us Alan REDSPAN. As bank spy chief, Foster did this for some twelve years, purportedly as an attorney/strategist for the apparent NSA proprietary, Systematics, headquartered originally in Arkansas. His team included his reputed "lover", Hillary Rodham Clinton. She certainly was clever and knew how to pose as one thing and be another. Her late father reportedly was a mob "laundry man", washing illicit funds. A CIA "darling" from an early age, Hillary went on to become by 1990 Board Chairman of a reputed CIA proprietary conduit, New World Foundation, financing apparent CIA-paid agents-provocateurs to discredit indigenous dissident movements. Publicly, some thought she was a flaming liberal. Yet, she was for GOP 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. Foster's pal Hillary was in a position to understand criminality. Her family came apparently from the Scranton, Pennsylvania area. Law enforcement personnel there contend her family was reportedly linked to the Gambino crime family, New York and Chicago and had mobster-linked cronies on the Chicago exchanges. William Rockefeller Clinton, on the other hand, was tied to the Chicago mobsters and their traditional mobster vacation site, Hot Springs, Arkansas, where his reputed mother was a mob "party girl".[Documents of the alleged "Bill Clinton" and his early years have been more or less destroyed. Visit our website for more details: http://www.skolnicksreport.com.] In its simplest form, the Bill/Hillary couple was/is a CIA-mobster marriage of convenience. Of the trio, reportedly with Systematics, Foster was the traveler and super-courier. He did a lot of the "leg work", worldwide. After his demise, requests under the Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, caused disclosure of some 700 pages of documents as to him/Systematics/NSA. Many of the records, however, were heavily blanked out, called in FOIA parlance "redacted". While traveling, Foster had a more private mission. Hillary had long apparently confided in him that some day she was going to have to divorce Bill. So, among other things, like a typical unhappily married wife, Hillary wanted to know where her husband parked the money. [Our court reform group has a number of members who have been in divorce court. Finding their spouse's money is a key matter for them.] Foster found one of Bill's coded accounts in Switzerland: Ten million dollars, apparently part of his cut from the CIA-dope trafficking through southern states jointly with Ollie North and George Herbert Walker Bush. Account code name included "Chelsea Jefferson", the daughter's first name and Bill's alleged middle name. Hillary reportedly told Foster that if and when the marital battle begins, to put a "brick" on the Swiss and other of Bill's secret coded accounts, EVEN THOUGH THE ELDER BUSH IS INVOLVED, through a beneficial interest, and EVEN THOUGH THE WIRE AND OTHER TRANSFERS WERE ARRANGED BY ALAN GREENSPAN. One of the accounts is listed as bank account #18, on the hand-written list of a senior U.S. Treasury Official, Office of Internal Affairs. [See Part Two of this series, and attached documents.] Some of Bill's coded accounts were actually an overlap with the Elder Bush and Caspar Weinberger. After Bush lost the 1992 election, he pardoned Weinberger from being prosecuted by Independent Counsel Walsh to keep this concealed. These accounts were arranged by former secret police chief Bush, Bill's CIA mentor. So, in an expected marital battle, Foster was pledged to aid pal Hillary, even if it meant wrecking and exposing her estranged husband's cronies, the Elder Bush and Greenspan and Weinberger. A dangerous confluence of events, howsoever it were to occur. The Internal Affairs Office of the U.S. Treasury was reportedly well aware of this criminality overlap. Could the American Republic survive a current President and former President jointly prosecuted for high crimes and treason, an event caused by a new top official in the White House named Foster? Realists thought, probably not. A series of horrendous events led up to the

Orlin Grabbe/A - Cocaine Market Muddle in the Colombian Jungle More drug war stupidity. IT IS not Vietnam, nor will it become so. But once again the United States is preparing to commit lots of cash, military hardware and advisers to a battle in a foreign jungle. This one is in southern Colombia, where an embattled president, Andres Pastrana, faces daunting problems. These include left-wing guerrillas and right-wing paramilitaries. Political violence caused almost 300,000 Colombians to flee their homes last year; the better-off have been terrorised by kidnapping and extortion. The country is also home to the worlds biggest illegal drugs industry: it accounts for about 80% of the cocaine and some of the heroin imported by the United States, and has displaced Peru as the worlds main source of coca, the raw material for cocaine. This is the main front in the developed worlds war against the supply of drugs. And, to make matters worse, Colombias economy is reeling from its worst slump since the 1930s. On taking office in 1998, Mr Pastrana boldly launched peace talks with the FARC, the largest guerrilla group. But they have moved slowly. The war continues, amid widespread scepticism about the FARCs intentions. At the same time, Mr Pastrana has turned to the United States for help. Bill Clinton is sympathetic, and now Congress is debating an administration request for more aid, which would take total American assistance to Colombia to $1.6 billion over the next two years. Mr Pastrana leads a democracy, albeit an imperfect one, and deserves international support. But the proposed aid is ambiguous in purpose, and its results may disappoint. The largest chunk is to set up and train three special anti-drugs battalions, equipped with 63 helicopters, including 30 fast, modern Blackhawks. Their mission is to push into the coca-growing regions of southern Colombia, in mountainous jungles now controlled by the FARC. Once secured, the police would go in to wipe out the coca plantations. The supply-siders plan Its backers present this as a plan to staunch the flow of drugs to the United States. But the motivation seems to be a fear that the FARCs insurgency is now out of control, and is a threat to other countries in the region. In practice, the new battalions target will be the FARC. Since the FARC gets lots of money (perhaps as much as $500m a year) from taxing and protecting the drugs trade, this new southern push would not only help to prosecute the international war on drugs but also weaken the guerrillas, persuading them to seek peace. That, at least, is the theory. Yet if the main aim were to support the pursuit of peace, the aid proposal might look very different. To achieve peace, Colombia needs stronger democratic institutions, capable of guaranteeing security and justice for its citizens (including demobilised guerrillas). And it needs radical reform of its armed forces. Despite Mr Pastranas efforts, they continue to suffer from two serious failings. First, they remain a largely reactive force, lacking mobility and relying too heavily on poorly trained conscripts. Second, many military commanders retain close links with the paramilitaries. The belief runs deep that paramilitary violence will hasten peace. In fact, it does the opposite. It is as unacceptable as the violence of the guerrillas. Yet the American aid proposal looks as if it will merely bolt three shiny new anti-drugs battalions on to an abusive and unreformed military force. That imbalance is familiar. After more than a decade of American aid, Colombias national police are capable of staging sophisticated operations against drugs gangs, involving months of surveillance and intricately co-ordinated raids. Yet they are incapable of acting as an efficient constabulary, providing the average Colombian with security against crime, kidnapping or assassination. Meanwhile, back in the United States That is not by chance. Aiding the Colombian police has been adopted as a political cause by a group of congressional Republicans who believe that one of the cheaper and more effective ways to deal with the United States addiction to drugs is to stop their production at source. That approach is also reflected in the annual certification process, which this week again saw the United States stand in unilateral judgment over its neighbours anti-drugs efforts. Belief in supply-side remedies has come to be shared by some officials in the Clinton administration. They argue that the sharp fall in coca production in Peru and Bolivia in recent years is proof that a combination of stepped-up repression and programmes to help former coca farmers can achieve the complete elimination of coca in those countriesand in Colombia (see article). It is a heady vision, but a flawed

Dear Brigade, "..."I sense a growing panic inside the White House that this has to be rammed through and done at allâ Mr. Buchanan said of the China legislation ... âI think [Texas Gov. George W.] Bush, if heâs the nominee, and [Vice President Al] Gore, would like this out of the wayâ ... âThe looting of our country in trade and manufacturing must end. We are not globalists; we are Americans..." GO PAT GO! Linda 03/03/00 - THE WASHINGTON TIMES - Erica Tuttle BUCHANAN STANDS FIRM ON CHINA - Says Trade Issue Linked to Taiwan Reform Party presidential candidate Pat Buchanan warned yesterday that U.S. âChinese relations are reaching a boiling point over Taiwan and urged Congress to delay granting China normal trade relation status. âBeijing is pushing this to crisis,â the three time presidential candidate said at a National Press Club news conference. He cited recent warnings by China to Taiwan, in the lead-up to the latterâs elections, to hasten reunification talks and to discourage the island from declaring independence. Given those circumstances, he said, extending normal trade relation (NTR) status at this time would be âthe definition of appeasement.â Mr. Buchanan has been a longtime opponent of the administrationâs policy toward China. The Clinton administration wants Congress to vote on the issue by June, and has begun lobbying hard for passage of legislation that would extend NTR to China permanently. Such a law would end the yearly debate over Chinaâs human rights practices and trade policies and would clear the way for that countryâs entry into the World Trade Organization. âI sense a growing panic inside the White House that this has to be rammed through and done at all,â Mr. Buchanan said of the China legislation. âI think [Texas Gov. George W.] Bush, if heâs the nominee, and [Vice President Al] Gore, would like this out of the way,â he said. Mr. Buchanan went on to criticize President Clintonâs policy of âstrategic partnershipâ with China, in which the administration has sought to strengthen democratic forces within China through open trade and engagement. âThe policy has been pursued for seven years - itâs not working,â he said. âPresident Clinton canât change course. Itâs up to a new presidentâ to chart a new China strategy, Mr. Buchanan said. He calculated that the United States has a $70 billion trade deficit with China, and said if he were elected president he would immediately impose tariffs on Chinese goods sold in the United States to correct the imbalance and would suspend NTR for one year. The Reform Party candidate has made his support of a less deferential stance toward China a hallmark of his campaign. By asserting the need for a âmoralâ component to American foreign policy â and on that basis objecting to continued trade ties with the Communist nation - he has attempted to distinguish himself from the other candidates. Mr. Buchanan has criticized Mr. Bush for his views on trade with China, and has attacked both Mr. Bush and Arizona Sen. John McCain for supporting U.S. involvement in the war in Kosovo last spring. While the Republican candidates have advocated a more aggressive posture toward Iraq, Mr. Buchanan favors lifting sanctions against that country, saying they have been successful only in murdering innocent children. Reiterating a theme heard in all of his presidential bids, Mr. Buchanan said, âThe looting of our country in trade and manufacturing must end. We are not globalists; we are Americans.â --- end -- ~~~ T H E I N T E R N E T B R I G A D E Linda Muller - WebMaster Post Office Box 650266, Potomac Falls, Virginia 20165 Email: http://www.buchanan.org/form-contact.html Web: http://www.buchanan.org ~~~ Have You O F F I C I A L L Y E N L I S T E D Yet? http://www.buchanan.org/form-enlistment.html ~~~ The One and Only B R I G A D E Email List!

There's a difference between a war criminal and a "Nazi", you know. No, there is not. How about those people that the ADL maliciously lablels as "Nazis"? Some really are Nazis, some are not. Do your own research; don't depend on the ADL or anybody else, either. The ADL is not to be trusted. They arethemselves, as the saying goes, "ultra-nationalists," and in many ways not at all unlike their enemies. They spied on me personally, which I resent deeply, and did it in a way that the information they gained is likely to have fallen into not just their hands but the hands of our mutual enemies. So screw the ADL, I say. Do you want them killed too? We'd all be a lot better off if some of them were dead. Personally, I'd prefer they do the honorable thing and commit sepeku. Most of the 'old fighters" have died off. Their organizations have not. It's the current generation and their crypto-allies that I'm most concerned with. These guys are dangerous. Yet we allow them to gain strength. Sooner of later there will come a day of reckoning. Mark my words. How about "Germans"?

But the guys who shoveled coal on Eichmann's train, the ones who were "just doing their job," they shoulda hung, too. Kill all Germans? (etc.) I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth.

[CTRL] CHINA WAR PLAN AGAINST TAIWAN AND U.S.
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Source:http://www.insightmag.com/cgi-bin/ViewNews.cfm?Item=36 Chinese Military Planning Document: http://www.insightmag.com/archive/23057.shtml CHINA WAR PLAN AGAINST TAIWAN AND U.S. 3/3/00 - By J. Michael Waller The Peoples Republic of China is actively planning a military invasion of Taiwan and is preparing to wage war against the United States including firing its small arsenal of strategic nuclear missiles on the territory of the United States if Washington attempts to defend the island. In an internal document from the Chinese Communist Partys Central Military Commission to all its regional commanders, Beijing says it hopes to absorb Taiwan through nonviolent means but warns of an increased possibility for a military solution, arguing: It is better to fight now than [in the] future the earlier, the better. In the document, (see "China Prepares for War") Beijing envisions a blitzkrieg-like attack on Taiwan, launching a first fatal strike so that the Taiwan forces have no way to organize effective resistance. Under this plan, we will be able to control Taiwan before the U.S. intervention and then concentrate our forces to fight the U.S. The paper, distributed to commanders in August 1999, urges military leaders to be well prepared for war with Taiwan and, if necessary, the United States, following Taiwan President Lee Teng-huis two-country theory, in which the Republic of China on Taiwan would seek independent statehood. The Communist Chinese leadership views Lees position as a threat to the territorial integrity of the Peoples Republic and argues that if allowed to stand would promote mainland Chinas disintegration by encouraging independence for Tibet and other occupied areas. The paper says that large-scale coastal and inland military exercises planned for Sept. 1999 were intended not only to intimidate Taiwan but to adapt our armed forces to cross-the-Straits operations. Beijing anticipates the passive support of Russia in a Taiwan invasion. A summit between Chinese President Jiang Zemin, Russian President Boris Yeltsin and others in Kazakhstan that same month was intended on Beijings part to help reduce the traditional pressure along our northeast and northwest borders, and increase the proportion of forces which can be moved to the southeast coastal regions, as well as to keep open land routes during the war in case we are forced to fight a full-scale war against the U.S. Insight has obtained a copy of this startling document, which has been translated into English. (Click here to read the full document.) The purpose of the document is to make high-ranking commanders in non-combat as well as combat positions well aware of the following issues so as to better understand the strategic decisions made by the Partys Central Committee and be well-prepared for the war in their units based on the rapidly-changing relationships with Taiwan. The document tells commanders to understand the partys thinking behind its preparations and a wave of politically-oriented military exercises intended to raise the political consciousness of all commanders and soldiers up to a level required by war. Peaceful reunification with Taiwan, according to the Central Military Commission paper, is still the best option for Beijings long-term interests, as military options would be disruptive of the Partys economic development goals. The document says it is very unlikely that European countries would aid in Taiwans defense, but anticipates that the U.S. would attempt to defend against an attack. Therefore, prior to an invasion of Taiwan, we must take into account the above [diplomatic] factors and use diplomatic leverage to minimize international resistance. Beijings crackdown on the Falun Gong spiritual group, the document says, was aimed at crushing separatist sentiment. To outlaw Falun Gong was a preemptive measure aimed at the ultimate resolution of [the] Taiwan issue, according to the document, not only eliminating domestic trouble, but paving the way for reunification as well. The Party leaders seem pleased with the weakness of international protests: Negative international reaction has proven to be limited, and the protest from the U.S. was particularly pale and powerless, fully demonstrating that our Party has the ability and courage to gain advantage in complicated domestic and international struggles. Senior Chinese military officials, the document says, disclosed some information on strategic weaponry so that the U.S. will exercise some caution in decision-making and be aware that it would have to pay a price if it decided to intervene in a military conflict. The purpose is to prevent the U.S. from being deeply involved even if a war becomes unavoidable so that the losses on both sides of the Taiwan straits will be minimized throughout the war. The main point is deterrence,

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Dave Hartley http://www.asheville-computer.com/dave http://www.fluoride-journal.com/98-31-2/31259-60.htm references follow DEATH KNELL FOR FLUORIDATION? Two recent reports1,2 that raise further questions about the alleged safety of water fluoridation reveal significant and disturbing brain cell neurotoxicity from relatively low concentrations of aluminium fluoride and sodium fluoride in drinking water of rats. Abstracted and commented on at length in this issue of FLUORIDE (pages 89-99), these investigations demonstrate that long-term ingestion by rats of drinking water containing either 0.5 ppm aluminium fluoride (AlF3), or 2.1 ppm sodium fluoride (NaF) causes readily detectible damage not only to neuronal brain cells and vasculature but also to glomerular kidney cells. In one set of experiments the commonly recommended 1 ppm fluoride ion level used in water fluoridation was present in the drinking water along with 0.5 ppm aluminium ion (reported as " 0.5 ppm AlF3" ), and in the other series the same 1 ppm fluoride concentration was derived from 2.1 ppm NaF. Both brain cell and kidney cell abnormalities differed between the AlF3 and NaF groups. Compared to controls with Al derived from the diet, the Al levels in the brain tissue were more than doubled in the AlF3 group but not quite doubled in the NaF group. Although the kidney tissue Al levels were also doubled in the AlF3 group, they were about the same in the NaF group. Other previous experiments with rats showed that the toxicity of 0.5 ppm AlF3 in the drinking water, including severe deterioration in overall health, was significantly greater than at 5 or even 50 ppm AlF3. The reason for this paradoxical concentration effect is obscure, as is the mechanism by which aluminium along with fluoride passes through hydrophobic membranes and enters cells of the brain and kidneys. Considering the clear-cut character of these laboratory findings, it is surprising that such adverse effects have not been reported long before now. After many years of supposedly intensive research, the 50th anniversary of the beginning of water fluoridation in Grand rapids, Michigan, was celebrated on 25 January 1995 as an occasion for "justifiable pride".3 Even as recently as 1993 a National Research Council report of the US National Academy of Sciences concluded that the US Environmental Protection Agency's current Maximum Contaminant Level of 4 mg/L (4 ppm) for fluoride in drinking water was quite appropriate as an interim standard.4 This position was supported by a selective review of data concerning dental and skeletal fluorosis, bone fragility, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and fluoride effects on the renal, gastrointestinal, and immune systems. Not cited, however, were fluoride effects on the central nervous system, including clinical reports of cognitive impairment5 and findings of impaired intelligence in both animals6 and humans7,8 related to fluoride. The "ethical basis"9,10 for adding fluoride to water supplies depends on the procedure being safe or at least having a highly favourable benefit/risk ratio. The new findings reviewed here, showing impaired brain function from fluoride in conjunction with aluminium, have clearly tipped the balance against fluoridation. If we keep in mind the ancient dictum primum non nocere, then the death knell for fluoridation has begun to toll.

Date: 2/18/00 6:40:11 PM Eastern Standard Time New `Tuskegee-Like Experiment' Planned with Pneumococcal Pneumonia Vaccine, Reported by Classen Immunotherapies BALTIMORE, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The following was released today by Classen Immunotherapies, Inc.: The FDA cleared yesterday a controversial new pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine with questionable safety and a US government advisory panel is planning to selectively target black children and Native American children forimmunization. This plan is being criticized for making children of certain racial minorities "human guinea pigs". It is possible that 1% or more of the children who receive the vaccine may develop insulin dependent diabetes or another autoimmune disease from the vaccine. This week the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that children under 2 not receive the new pneumococcal vaccine but that black and Native American children age 2-5 be selectively targeted for immunization. This policy has come under criticism because the vaccine has never been properly tested for safety and the FDA has been told by an expert that the vaccine is expected to cause an epidemic of autoimmune disease. The controversial vaccine is the conjugated 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine which is really a combination of 7 different vaccines, each to a separate strain of pneumococcal pneumonia bacteria. The vaccine is similar in structure to the already marketed hemophilus meningitis vaccine, a vaccine linked to large epidemics of insulin dependent diabetes. Dr. J. Bart Classen, an immunologist at Classen Immunotherapies, published data in the British Medical Journal (BMJ 1999; 319:1133) supporting a causal relationship between the hemophilus vaccine and the development of insulin dependent diabetes. The vaccine has been incriminated in causing over 58 cases of insulin dependent diabetes per 100,000 children immunized in Finland. Dr. Classen told the FDA at a recent meeting that the 7 valent pneumococcal vaccine may be 7 times as toxic as the hemophilus vaccine, possibly causing an estimated 400 to 700 children to develop insulin dependent diabetes/100,000 children immunized. These cases of diabetes may not occur until 3.5 to 10 years following immunization. "The government's plan to selectively target black and Native Americans is likely to have the effect of genocide, 0.5% of children who receive this vaccine may develop insulin dependent diabetes from the vaccine and diabetes is just one of many life threatening autoimmune disease," states Classen. "I believe the vaccine clearly should not have been approved by the FDA because it does not meet the criteria for approval based on US law." Dr. Classen's research has been published in numerous journals and featured in national news reports.

From: "Catherine Austin Fitts" [EMAIL PROTECTED] SIGHTINGS New US Rifle Can Shoot Around Corners By Ian Brodie In Washington http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/00/02/26/timfgnusa01004.html?999 2-27-00 Some call it the Smart Shooter, a new rifle for American infantry troops that is two weapons in one, is accurate up to 1,000 yards and in effect fires around corners. Its message to enemies is that they can run but they can't hide. The futuristic mega-gun is causing alarm among arms-control specialists who call it the Darth Vader weapon and say that it will cause enormous carnage among civilians when it inevitably falls into the hands of terrorists. Still in the development phase, the rifle for 2006 has just been shown off with great pride by the Pentagon to members of Congress who will be asked to put up the money. It will not be cheap. Each rifle will cost as much as £7,500 pounds - 20 times the price of the M16 that it will replace. But, as army officers like to say, they will get a much bigger bang for their buck. The makers, Alliant Techsystems, say that the weapon will revolutionise ground combat much as the machine gun. Pentagon jargon has given the new gun an awkward title: the Objective Individual Combat Weapon. Using one trigger, the rifle can fire a standard 5.56mm Nato bullet and a 20mm high explosive shell that will burst in the air. It can spray shrapnel behind, above or even from the side of enemy troops who have taken cover behind a building. The shell can be timed to explode after a short delay. The weapon's 1,000-yard accuracy is twice that of other rifles, made possible by a laser system built into the sight. This rangefinder fixes the target, measures the distance and passes it along to a computer chip in the shell. The gunsight has an infrared lens for night vision. It can also have video camera with a zoom lens that is linked to a video display attached to the soldier's helmet, allowing him to aim accurately without exposing himself to enemy return fire. But there are snags still be be ironed out. Two men were injured when a shell burst in a barrel during firing tests. The rifle weighs more than 18lb. There are questions whether its electronic innards will be rugged enough for rain, snow and difficult terrain. Michael Klare, a professor of peace and world security issues and a board member of the Arms Control Association, says that the Pentagon is seeking this combination of firepower and automation to compensate for the uncertain aim of GIs. He said: "Soldiers won't have to worry about careful steady aim. They'll just look through the viewfinder and pull the trigger."

He also said that tests had been done in Gary, Indiana near the freeway at rush hour and the oxygen level had been found to be 9%. Yes, but where is there evidence to substantiate what Ed McCabe asserted ? Why has no scientist or university or government agency announced or published anything similar -- or have they ? If so, where are these other accounts recorded, and why is the sensationalist media ignoring such a sensational story ? And what does "fairly recently" actually mean ? (re: 35% oxygen) Also, how did they (who ever they were) measure the oxygen near a freeway ? Did exhaust hydrocarbons contaminate their measuring device, rendering their "results" (9% oxygen) totally invalid ? Amber that is believed to be 80,000,000 years old, was lab tested a number of years back. It was carefully opened under controlled conditions and the air that was trapped in bubbles inside was analyzed. The report was that the air had higher oxygen (35%) and higher pressure (1.5 atmospheres). I've read an account similar to this, and it all sounds plausible. But conditions existing 80 million years ago are hardly relevant to today's atmospheric conditions. When I was in high school in 1964, the textbooks (published about 1955) said that the air was 21% oxygen. Now, 36 years later, new textbooks say the air is 21% oxygen. There's been no change at all -- or only a very small change -- unless you give credence to various (apparently) unsubstantiated rumors. I'd sure like to find some verifiable indication that the Earth is running out of oxygen -- IF it is true. Until then, I can only presume that this is environmentalist doomsday theology, or intentional propaganda, or urban rumor, or perhaps all of the above. I think Ed also said that scientists experimenting on growing things in Martian (low pressure) and Venerian (high pressure) conditions found that at 1.5 atmospheres no anerobic bacteria could exist in the soil within 2' of the surface. The 'missing' oxygen, if it is in fact missing, is bound up in compounds with other elements. In a similar fashion, most carbon is bound up in limestone, hydrocarbons, trees, etc. This could happen over millions of years, but I doubt oxygen has been rapidly "bound up" over the past two centuries by industrial-age technologies. Look at it this way: Combustion of fossil fuels, etc., produces carbon dioxide (CO2) by oxidizing carbon in a ratio of one carbon atom per two oxygen atoms. The atmosphere's CO2 level has grown by 28% in the last 150 years, according to one source quoted in the media. However, 150 years ago CO2 was only 0.028% of the atmosphere, and today it has grown to 0.036% (given 28% growth), which is a difference of .008%. [If someone has more accurate figures, please let me know.] Now, with oxygen at 21%, look at the difference in magnitude. CO2 grew 0.008%. With two oxygen atoms in each CO2 molecule, perhaps the free oxygen level fell by 0.016%. That's hardly enough to measure, and cannot justify rumors claiming drastically reduced atmospheric oxygen levels. Of course, we could ask, is oxygen "disappearing" by another route -- hundreds or thousands of times faster than it is being bound up in CO2 ? Hmm... any ideas about that ? Bill Best of Health!

Now, is this entirely a matter of environmentalist doomsday "theology" -- perhaps driven by commercially or politically motivated propaganda ? Did someone "channel" this information, or is there scientific evidence to support some part of this ?

Well Andy,
The drawback of the psychedelic 'we are one/divine/there is no
separation' experience is it only lasts for the duration of the high.
You have only opened one of the top chakras artificially, by the drug
burning holes in the barrier which separates this reality from a
higher.You are only getting a glimpse into the unknown territory, which
entry is earned by those who follow the rules as laid out in the
Bible.eg save your kundalini. Take too many drugs and you won't be able
to tell the difference between the multiple realities existing in the
universe.
I think the Bible is interpreted with different states of consciousness
according to how much a person can digest of deeper experiences
according to need. Others see ETs everywhere. Some interpret it
symbolically because they can't yet grasp it inspirationally. Focusing
on the hell part is an inability to see the reason why God would want to
create 12 races to develop differing paths of mankind to evolve. If you
read Josephus [approx 70AD] he said each of the 12 tribes represented
one sign of the Zodiac.
At the end of the Bible in Revelation Ch 7:3 it says 12,000 of each
tribe will have the seal of God on their forheads. Obviously God has a
plan to ensure survival of the human body of those who have the right
DNA to start again in the next dimension. The light in the forehead
would be indicative of the presence of the higher ethers necessary to
change dimension. At present the so called 6th Aryan race would like to
accomplish this feat technologically,{see the post of 2 days ago [US
Military fake rapture and genocide -Important, sent 4th March] but
those descendants of the Nordic Pleiadians dip out here, unless they
have interbred with the tribe of Benjamin who migrated to Scandanavia.
Why worry about hell after death, it's hell during life you need to
avoid, when the hoards of hell in their underground bases in US will be
emerging in unison with the UN foreign troops to round up the
population. It's pretty obvious that all of are being categorised by the
Ets, for evacuation purposes. I believe millions will be transported off
the planet to be put back later to return to an earth that has changed
position in space.
The Ets know this from their time machines and can take who they want
if they are not claimed by Jesus' army. Will one come back or not this
is the real worry? Have you not heard of the fluoresent marks people
have returned with after ET abduction. Psychedelic revelations won't
save you, I think it is a matter of fitting into the right category by
unseen hands. We decide nothing! We are not 'all one' we are DNA
categorised by those who run the solar system, and decide who gets born
in what family.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS ON WACO Bruce Duncan Perry, M.D., Ph.D. The Child Trauma Programs A Partnership of: Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital *This is an Academy version of testimony of Dr. B.D. Perry, before the Subcommitee on National Security, International Affairs, and Criminal Justice of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight and the Subcommittee on Crime of the Committee on the Judiciary at the Oversight Hearings on Federal Law Enforcement Conduct in Relation to the Branch Davidian Compound near Waco, Texas, and appended documents, Congressional Record, July, 1995. ABUSIVE CHILDREARING PRACTICES AT RANCH APOCALYPSE Destructive characteristics of this setting included undermining traditional parent-child relationships by David Koresh. Attachments to parent figures were continually undermined and replaced with inappropriate dependence upon a central figure, David Koresh. Continuous undermining of other relationships, including sibling relationships, husband and wife relationships, and friendships was pervasive. Any attachment judged to be more important to an individual than the attachment to God or David was undermined. By 1992, these children were taught to view David Koresh as their father, and later, these children were taught to consider David as God (see slides). In the context of this evolving theology, Koresh's views became increasingly restrictive, unpredictable and harsh for the children living at Ranch Apocalypse (see Attachment 7). These children had a set of inappropriate and age-inappropriate behaviors and significant gaps in general understanding, reflecting the idiosyncratic teaching practices present in the compound. For example, very young children, including a six year old girl, knew an incredible amount about weapons, while they knew almost nothing about other common age-appropriate concepts. In one example, we had a room with a variety of toys, including a small bolt action toy rifle. Invariably, in the first visit to the room, each child first went over and picked up the rifle. In one interview, a young girl went over, picked up the rifle, pulled the bolt back, looked down the barrel and said with disgust, "This isn't a real gun." It is clear that these children were significantly traumatized by previous harsh and inappropriate disciplinary techniques including severe corporal punishment, extended isolation (overnight), severe food restrictions and separation from primary caretakers. These children were continually exposed to harsh, capricious, and humiliating disciplinary techniques. Children expected to be beaten for events such as spilling milk. Infants were severely spanked for 'misbehaving'. In addition, these children were threatened with death if they revealed aspects of life inside the compound to the 'non-believers'. As is typical when an abusive adult threatens a child, they were told that 'they will not understand our special ways'. These children were convinced that David Koresh would return from the grave and punish them if they betrayed the Davidians by interacting with, or disclosing to, the 'bad guys' (law enforcement, non-believers, 'Babylonians'). Koresh was exploitive and manipulative of these children and exposing them to a variety of inappropriate sexual content -- such as graphically describing intercourse and sexual 'technique' in his hours-long sermons where children were present. Furthermore, the girls were socialized to believe that sex with Koresh, by age 12 (and earlier), was normative, appropriate, and, indeed, desirable -- being part of God's plan as revealed to David. All of the young girls were being prepared to be David's wives and that was a healthy and desired position to be in. One of the older girls expressed distress, now that she had been released from the compound, that she would not be able to be picked by David as one of his brides.

Yup, you might be right...but taking expensive water or sugar pills ain't going to do diddly to your immune system. Bill. = Homeopathy: The Ultimate Fake Stephen Barrett, M.D. Homeopathic "remedies" enjoy a unique status in the health marketplace: They are the only category of quack products legally marketable as drugs. This situation is the result of two circumstances. First, the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which was shepherded through Congress by a homeopathic physician who was a senator, recognizes as drugs all substances included in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. Second, the FDA has not held homeopathic products to the same standards as other drugs. Today they are marketed in health-food stores, in pharmacies, in practitioner offices, by multilevel distributors [A], through the mail, and on the Internet. Basic Misbeliefs Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), a German physician, began formulating homeopathy's basic principles in the late 1700s. Hahnemann was justifiably distressed about bloodletting, leeching, purging, and other medical procedures of his day that did far more harm than good. Thinking that these treatments were intended to "balance the body's 'humors' by opposite effects," he developed his "law of similars" -- a notion that symptoms of disease can be cured by extremely small amounts of substances that produce similar symptoms in healthy people when administered in large amounts. The word "homeopathy" is derived from the Greek words homoios (similar) and pathos (suffering or disease). Hahnemann and his early followers conducted "provings" in which they administered herbs, minerals, and other substances to healthy people, including themselves, and kept detailed records of what they observed. Later these records were compiled into lengthy reference books called materia medica, which are used to match a patient's symptoms with a "corresponding" drug. Hahnemann declared that diseases represent a disturbance in the body's ability to heal itself and that only a small stimulus is needed to begin the healing process. He also claimed that chronic diseases were manifestations of a suppressed itch (psora), a kind of miasma or evil sprit. At first he used small doses of accepted medications. But later he used enormous dilutions and theorized that the smaller the dose, the more powerful the effect -- a notion commonly referred to as the "law of infinitesimals." That, of course, is just the opposite of the dose-response relationship that pharmacologists have demonstrated. The basis for inclusion in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia is not modern scientific testing, but homeopathic "provings" conducted during the 1800s and early 1900s. The current (ninth) edition describes how more than a thousand substances are prepared for homeopathic use. It does not identify the symptoms or diseases for which homeopathic products should be used; that is decided by the practitioner (or manufacturer). The fact that substances listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia are legally recognized as "drugs" does not mean that either the law or the FDA recognizes them as effective. Because homeopathic remedies were actually less dangerous than those of nineteenth-century medical orthodoxy, many medical practitioners began using them. At the turn of the twentieth century, homeopathy had about 14,000 practitioners and 22 schools in the United States. But as medical science and medical education advanced, homeopathy declined sharply in America, where its schools either closed or converted to modern methods. The last pure homeopathic school in this country closed during the 1920s [1]. Many homeopaths maintain that certain people have a special affinity to a particular remedy (their "constitutional remedy") and will respond to it for a variety of ailments. Such remedies can be prescribed according to the person's
[CTRL] Cell Phones and Your Health..
For what its worth... Recently, there was a press release on ABCNEWS.COM concerning new research being done in the UK on the safety of cell phones. Reading this, I began to get worried that my use of a digital cell phone could be affecting my health. I use one pretty heavily. I have had service with Airtouch for about 4 years and began service with them when digital was still in the development stages. I used an analog phone which broadcasts on the 900 MhZ band. At that time, I was sufficiently concerned about holding a radio emitting device to my head and used an attache phone, which allows me to install the phone in my car and hook it to an external antenna and hold a handset to my head without the fear of being radiated by the phone. I used the analog phone service until Airtouch practically insisted that I switch to digital. With great reluctance, I did. They assured me that the digital phones put out such a small amount of energy that they were safe to use. Following the press release, I decided to switch my service back to analog and use my attache phone again. When I called Airtouch, I was told that the price of analog was too expensive and they set me up on a plan that is excessively expensive. My complaint to them was: They are forcing people to use digital phones despite the strong possibility that they are dangerous to our health. They are using price manipulation to assure that people don't use analog service which, in my opinion, is not quite as dangerous as the digital phones which broadcast on a frequency above 1 gigahertz. You will also notice that no digital phone comes with a handset or the ability to operate external to your vehicle like an attache phone without spending $250.00 for a car install. This still does not allow you the ability to use the phone without an external microphone and speaker which diminshes quality. If you want your phone call to be personal, you still have to hold it to your head where you get a dose of the energy emitting from the phone. I am a member of the press. I am planning on using whatever resource I have available to me to take these greedy companies to task. My belief is that they should make analog service available to their customers at a comparable price to the digital. Thus, people can minimize their health risks by using phones such as an attache phone. The research that is being done is quite compelling that there is significant health risk to people who use digital phones. The large carriers like Airtouch are trying to cash in on the thing before the hammer drops. It is a sad day when the value of human life is relegated to profit with these large companies. People had better wake up and realize that this world is becoming smaller and smaller when it comes to what we consume. As the big fish swallow up the small fish, competition and free market begin to suffer. Consider that the prices of gasoline, food and other items that we consume are becoming more and more expensive. The law of supply and demand still rule. Send a clear and strong message to these multinational corporations by exercising your power over them. Don't buy, complain and demand that they listen to what we have to say. Michael Corbin

"This is a case of a hungry child versus a power-hungry government that doesn't care about families," charged Steve Dasbach, Libertarian Party national director. "Sadly, the government may win, and one small child may temporarily lose her mother because of an unfair, inflexible mandatory jury duty system. "Courts are supposed to produce justice -- but no justice can come from a system that has the power to toss a mother into a jail cell because she wants to nourish her daughter." On March 13, Siri Wright of Boise, Idaho will face contempt of court charges at the Ada County Courthouse. Her crime: Refusing to predict for a jury commissioner when she will stop breast-feeding her two-year-old daughter. Supporters say Wright may have been targeted because of her unusual child-rearing method -- "ecological breast-feeding" -- which allows children to wean themselves during a process that can take two to three years. Wright had first been called for jury duty in 1998, and was given a one-year postponement because she was breast-feeding. Called back in mid-1999, she said she could not predict when her daughter would wean herself. Despite the fact that Idaho law specifically excuses breast-feeding mothers from jury duty, the Jury Commissioner ordered her to report for jury duty on December 9 -- in effect, ordering Wright to stop breast-feeding. If convicted of contempt, Wright faces three days in jail and a $100 fine. And, more importantly, she would be separated from her daughter and son for the first time in their lives. The case is a stark reminder that while politicians talk about "helping families," the actual effect of government policies is frequently the exact opposite, said Dasbach. "Mothers, not judges, should decide when to breast-feed their children," he said. "Any legal system that considers mandatory jury duty more important than dedicated mother duty -- and would literally rip a nursing child out of the arms of her loving mother -- is a system that is the very definition of family-unfriendly." How would Libertarians solve the conflict between nursing mothers and the public need for juries? End mandatory jury duty, suggested Dasbach. "Compulsory jury duty rests on the assumption that your first obligation is to serve the state, not to serve yourself and your family," he said. "Jury duty is important, but it shouldn't override a mother's right to feed her child." Besides, said Dasbach, there's a simple way to ensure an adequate jury pool without trampling anyone's rights: Make jury service voluntary. "As long as there are people willing to act as jurors for the small payment the courts offer, the state has no reason to force unwilling people to serve," he said. "And if that isn't adequate, why not have paid professional juries, staffed by people who want to do the job -- instead of people who are forced to do it? Either solution is better than forcing unwilling parents into jury duty against their will. "As the case of Siri Wright makes clear, it's the government that really needs to be weaned -- from the notion that civic duty is more important than family duty." -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBOMAxs9CSe1KnQG7RAQELJwQAgE1i3Di5PHL8VTOwxnfew+PGwSxuGfdT JIt9jR9fOueHIKfcxbMRScgF8Ve7BWXK4HDPYTf8XnoeBQ/Kz2pfNLCJ8um4Itm+ 2grsfYyUp3mNlDsf/YgLxvtboJlplvowcxHl94+ppNTQTBgOqT15EPJOmeQaNV6S ghbzBXTAiPw= =os4N -END PGP SIGNATURE- The Libertarian Party http://www.lp.org/ 2600 Virginia Ave. NW, Suite 100 voice: 202-333-0008 Washington DC 20037 fax: 202-333-0072 For subscription changes, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with just the word "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" in the subject line.

"Instead of using the death of Kayla Rolland as an excuse to impose more gun control, politicians like Bill Clinton should read this study -- since it demonstrates that children who are taught by parents to use guns responsibly are far less likely to commit crimes," said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. "No, we can't say that this particular shooting could have been prevented -- or that this troubled 6-year-old should have been given a gun by his equally troubled parents. But what we can say is that, in general, the most effective way to reduce firearm-related violence among children is to buy them a gun and teach them how to use it responsibly." That surprising discovery is contained in a study by the federal government entitled, "Urban Delinquency and Substance Abuse," which was conducted from 1993-1995 by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. In an effort to determine the relationship between "problem behaviors" like drug use, teen pregnancy, and crime, child psychologists tracked 4,000 boys and girls aged 6 to 15 in Denver, Pittsburgh, and Rochester, NY. The findings were a slap in the face to "conventional wisdom" about children and guns, said Dasbach -- and a sharp rebuke to Bill Clinton's renewed calls for mandatory trigger locks and other gun control measures in the wake of Tuesday's shooting in Mount Morris Township, Michigan. According to the study: * Children who get guns from their parents don't commit gun crimes (0%), while children who get illegal guns are very likely to do so (21%). * Children who get guns from parents are less likely to commit any kind of street crime (14%) than children who have no gun in the house (24%) -- and are dramatically less likely to do so than children who acquire an illegal gun (74%). * Children who get guns from parents are less likely to use drugs (13%) than children who get illegal guns (41%). "Boys who own legal firearms have much lower rates of delinquency and drug use [than boys who get illegal guns] and are even slightly less delinquent than non-owners of guns," the study reported. "The evidence is in: When it comes to preventing youthful violence, responsible parents and the Second Amendment apparently work better than politicians' irresponsible proposals, such as so-called smart-gun technology or mandated safety locks," said Dasbach. Are Libertarians saying that every parent should buy their child a gun? "Of course not," said Dasbach. "Deciding whether to give your son or daughter a gun -- and teaching them how to use it -- is a serious decision that every parent will have to make. Many parents will properly decide that their children are not mature enough to learn how to use a gun safely. But the point is: Responsible parents are better able to make that decision than a bunch of irresponsible politicians in Washington, DC. "Such an enlightened approach to gun ownership will not bring Kayla Rolland back to life," Dasbach acknowledged. "But it would make it less likely that another Kayla Rolland would die in such a tragic and pointless incident. And that would be a step in the right direction." -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBOMCypNCSe1KnQG7RAQGvGQQAijCHp9nVDotbI/OQH0J/oQ9nrSqtt5PW r2uQa/eBcLLaRkN4bBf2P2/QsrZtccfCTSnSWWkwzOeInnC7dJnJ97Bft6iA8akH ksGrCLt2x9pXDAIDOjsKKyeeVkU3CVeLGxYB/NyNkOPqiqwHLGINpQms80FIslN2 WwPlNtFlHAg= =Dlmc -END PGP SIGNATURE- The Libertarian Party http://www.lp.org/ 2600 Virginia Ave. NW, Suite 100 voice: 202-333-0008 Washington DC 20037 fax: 202-333-0072 For subscription changes, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with just the word "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" in the subject line.

"If the U.S. forces lose thousands or hundreds of men under our powerful strikes, the anti-war sentiment within their country will force the U.S. government to take the same path as they did in Viet Nam," states the Chinese army document. Titled "Watching Closely for Changes in Relationships with Taiwan and Enhancing Awareness of Military Leadership of Current Situation," the Chinese army strategy document also describes a chilling scenario of nuclear war with America. "In comparison with the U.S. nuclear arsenal, our disadvantage is mainly numeric, which in real wars the qualitative gap will be reflected only as different requirement of strategic theory. In terms of deterrence, there is not any difference in practical value. So far we have built up the capability for the second and third nuclear strikes and are fairly confident in fighting a nuclear war. The PCC (Communist Party Central Committee) has decided to pass through formal channels this message to the top leaders in the U.S." The Chinese army command document also noted that recent U.S. combat experience cannot be compared to a future war with the massive People's Liberation Army. China is capable of massing millions of troops, and has over 5,000 aircraft that can be thrown into a battle over Taiwan. In addition, the Chinese military noted it had a clear edge in fighting a tactical nuclear war with American forces in the Pacific region. "In terms of air defense," noted the Chinese army document, "it is impossible for the U.S. Air Force to enjoy the kind of dominance which they maintained in Iraq or Yugoslavia." "It can be safely expected that once the U.S. launches an attack, the front line of U.S. forces and their supporting bases will be exposed within the range of our effective strikes. After the first strategic strike, the U.S. forces will be faced with weaponry and logistic problems, providing us with opportunities for major offensives and win large battles." According to the Chinese military, "Unlike Iraq and Yugoslavia, China is not only a big country, but also possesses a nuclear arsenal that has long since been incorporated into state warfare system and play a real role in our national defense." "During the last crisis across the Taiwan Straits, the U.S. tried to blackmail us with their aircraft carrier(s), but when their spy satellites confirmed that our four nuclear submarines which used to be stationed at
[CTRL] New White House Phone Records Could Expose Foster Case Cover-up (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- From: http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2000/3/4/101255 Saturday March 4, 2000; 11:20 AM EST New White House Phone Records Could Expose Foster Case Cover-up Could documentary evidence of a White House cover-up in the mysterious 1993 death of top Clinton aide Vince Foster be at hand? Last month two congressional committees and Independent Counsel Robert Ray reportedly launched new probes into possible White House wrondoing, based on fresh testimony that an estimated 100,000 White House emails, then subject to a subpoena, had been witheld from investigators. According to an affidavit obtained by Judicial Watch from former manager of White House computer operations, Sheryl Hall: "A contractor for Northrop-Grumman assigned to the Clinton White House who examined this group of 100,000 e-mails told me the documents contained information relating to Filegate, concerning the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the sale of Clinton Commerce Department trade mission seats in exchange for campaign contributions and Vice President Al Gore's involvement in campaign fundraising controversies." Hall also told Judicial Watch: "I was told by this contractor that if the contents of these e-mails became known, that there would be different outcomes to these scandals, as the e-mails were incriminating and could cause people to go to jail." So what does any of this have to do with Foster's death? The discovery of the White House's long-lost e-mails was first reported by Insight Magazine in December 1998. But along with this cache of evidence, Insight also revealed that "thousands of pages of White House telephone records" covering the period of January 1992 through December 1998 had been found. Although Insight didn't say so, this meant that evidence may exist to prove the claims of two Arkansas state troopers, who say they were told about Foster's death before police had informed even the White House -- perhaps even before his body was discovered. Troopers Roger Perry and Larry Patterson, who were assigned to the Arkansas governor's mansion the day Foster died, told investigators in 1995 that White House aide Helen Dickey called to report that Foster had shot himself in the parking lot. Dickey's call, insist the lawmen, came at least an hour before police notified the White House. Both Perry and Patterson filed sworn affidavits to back their accounts. But Ms. Dickey told Foster case probers she didn't make that call till at least 10:30PM, more than four hours after the White House lawyer's body had been found. Independent Counsel Ken Starr sided with Dickey, mainly because he was unable to find proof of the troopers' account. His report on Foster's death states simply: "Complete records for such calls are not available." Congressman Dan Burton and Sen. Fred Thompson, both battle scarred veterans of the Clinton scandal wars, promised to investigate the Insight report in December 1998. But at the time Congress was distracted by Clinton's Monicagate impeachment -- and the potential bombshell evidence disappeared between the cracks. Now Insight reports that Burton and Thompson are once again interested in the treasure trove of e-mail evidence in the wake of Hall's startling account to Judicial Watch. What about those crucial phone records which could prove the White House knew about Foster's death perhaps even before police? Insight's managing editor Paul Rodriguez reported this week: "Unlike the e-mails, to which the White House could delay access for months by claiming they were insignificant or already turned over to investigators, the discovery of the long-distance telephone records cannot be obfusatedThe White House always maintained it had no telephone records in its possession and could not obtain them from the telephone companies because they routinely destroy such records every 90 days or so." With the discovery of the White House's secret telephone record depository, that alibi is no longer operative. When Troopers Perry and Patterson were invited to testify before the Senate Whitewater Committee in February 1996, they urged investigators to press the White House on telephone records for July 20, 1993; records that would prove whether it was they -- or Helen Dickey -- who told the truth about the timing of her Foster phone call. When senate investigators failed to do so the troopers declined to testify, fearing that in the absence of proof they would be smeared as disgruntled Clinton-haters. Now that such proof may be at hand, it's a whole new ballgame -- that is, if the Office of Independent Counsel and Congress are willing to re-examine this issue. Reached by NewsMax.com on Friday, a spokesman for Independent Counsel Robert Ray declined to comment on the prospect that new

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Senator McCain's Criteria for Pork http://www.senate.gov/~mccain/porkbar.htm For ten years, Senator McCain has reviewed the annual appropriations bills to determine whether they contain items that are low-priority, unnecessary, or wasteful spending. In this process, he has used five objective criteria to identify programs and projects that have not been appropriately reviewed in the normal, merit-based prioritization process. These criteria are: --Unauthorized appropriations; --Unrequested locality-specific earmarks, research facility-specific earmarks, and other earmarks that would circumvent the normal competitive award process; --Budget add-ons that would be subject to a budget point of order; --Transfer or disposal of federal property or items under terms that circumvent existing law; and --New items added in conference that were never considered in either bill in either House.

[CTRL] FARMERS FIGHT 50,000 ACRE FEDERAL LAND GRAB
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! A HREF="http://www.ashevilletribune.com/farmers_fight.htm"Farmers Fight/A http://www.ashevilletribune.com/farmers_fight.htm FARMERS FIGHT 50,000 ACRE FEDERAL LAND GRAB 12 year old testifies before Senate; tries to save her family's home By Matthew Mittan, The Asheville Tribune The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has announced it's desire to create a fifty-three thousand acre wildlife refuge, much to the chagrin of local residents. Federal officials have targeted, for their refuge, some of the best farmland in the United States, land that has been farmed by some of the same families for two hundred years. Residents opposed to the federal land designation say that the proposed refuge would dispossess hundreds of families and transform a productive agricultural economy into a non-productive service economy. The people of Madison and Union counties in Ohio are overwhelmingly opposed to the proposal. But that has not slowed the federal agencies from pursuing the land. Due to that fact, two local grassroots groups, Stewards of the Darby (SOD) and Citizens Against Refuge Proposal (CARP) are at the forefront of the land rights battle. Through these groups, local residents drafted a Declaration entitled "Our Land Is Our Responsibility" which reads in part, "We, the residents of the area publicized as the "Darby Prairie National Wildlife Refuge Study Area" want our voices heard! We, who live and work in this farming community, believe the impact to area businesses would jeopardize their very existence. The Madison County Auditor's Office projects the affected region generates $300 per acre, which turns over 6-7 times (in buying power) before leaving the community. This translates into a potential deficit of $90 million dollars to our area businesses. "[Additionally,] United States Representative Ralph S. Regula asserts: 'It is simply irresponsible to take on new land responsibilities, and give grants to cities, States and private institutions, when we cannot afford to adequately take care of our primary Federal responsibilities - the public lands.' "The State Forest Department manages and protects 7.1 million acres of forest land in Ohio, for the benefit of all Ohio citizens. One hundred eighty one thousand acres of State-owned forest land are available for multiple benefits, including wildlife, recreation, timber products, and soil and water protection. In addition, there are 72 State Parks in Ohio where the public can interact with nature at its leisure. With this great abundance of parks and wildlife areas, all supported by our tax dollars, is there really a need for more public land? "Actual area land auctions show that a 500-acre farm is worth $1.5 million dollars. To this initial cost, add a reasonably priced home at a cost of $85,000, and minimal equipment at approximately $641,000, and the combined start-up cost totals $2.226 MILLION DOLLARS. After committing to an investment of such magnitude, why would our astute, agriculturally- and family-minded farmers want to sell? "In the case of the proposed Darby Prairie National Wildlife Refuge, most of the 53,692 acres is land that has been acquired by our farmers over many generations. This "ownership endurance" enables us to continue our conservation-accredited farming skills, thus growing with our investments. At an average of 4.5 persons per home, this equates to the possible residential displacement of over 7,500 people from the Study Area alone, with a loss of approximately 4,000 taxpayers to the community. We have a proven track record of providing Americans with a diversity of products in the global marketplace, with a combination of wheat, corn, and soybeans; there would be a loss of over 3 million bushels of grain from the Study Area! "With well over 50,000 acres lost to food production, how many non-farmers would be willing to relinquish their combined homes and yards to replace the fertile soil that presently feeds so many, that would be permanently lost by the introduction of a National Wildlife Refuge? At some point, we will no longer have the abundance of high-quality, reasonably priced food that we now take for granted at our supermarkets. "The growing of food to nourish our citizens is certainly as much a consideration as re-establishing a tall grass prairie. Eating is not going to go out of style, and we are not willingly going to yield our bountiful land to either developers or Federal Agencies who say they are 'protecting us' from development. "Those of us who have been entrusted with the privilege of caring for the land, know well the proper care and nurturing required to maintain, protect and preserve our farmlands, and sustain a well-established wildlife habitat through conservation management. With an eye to the future, and the experience of almost two hundred years, we

It is OUTRAGEOUS, but not surprising, given the early symptoms that were coming in from the medical staff at the time. While the police had admitted to OC and CS gas before, this was not the case with the CN gas, containing methylene chloride. Appended is the technical information on methylene chloride. Note under the last point in the second message, under point #5: "PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL): MG/M3 (500 PPM)" means that the permissible limit is 0. This should keep a bunch of them doing a whole mess of damage control for a while. But it also means a whole whack of us got hit with massive amounts of deadly toxins in the chemical warfare that the state unleashed on us in Seattle. And we will have to live with that posioning for the rest of our lives. It was chemical warfare against internal dissent using chemicals of mass destruction. Is this not a crime against humanity? Was that not why the governments said they bombed (and continue to silently bomb) Iraq? Cuz Iraq allegedly had weapons of mass destruction (ie nerve gas). Well, not only does the USA government have such weapons but it uses them AGAINST THEIR PEOPLE. And it does so when its people are engaged in non-violent civil disobedience.

Please share it widely with your lists. Thanks! Paul Cienfuegos The Washington Toxics Coalition recently requested and received Material Safety Data Sheets from the Seattle Police Department for all chemicals used in crowd control during WTO protests the week of November 29. The Department reported the use of an OC gas (active ingredient is oleoresin of capsicum), Pyrotechnic CS agent (o-chlorobenzalmalononitrile) and Liquid Agent CN (chlorolactetophenone). One disturbing find was the solvent used in the CN agent. The MSDS indicated that the agent is 50% active ingredient and 50% methylene chloride as a solvent. Methylene chloride is a possible/anticipated carcinogen as reported by the National Toxicology Program and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The National Library of Medicine's Toxnet website reports it to be an experimental carcinogen, tumorigen, teratogen (causes birth defects when it reaches egg or sperm cells of the parents, or the developing fetus) with experimental reproductive effects. The site also indicates that human mutagen (causes mutations in cells) data exists. In addition to these serious effects, central nervous system depression is reported. Many of the nervous system effects given on the Toxnet site are similar to those experienced by protesters. Some of the symptoms listed by Toxnet are lethargy, mental confusion, headache, tingling of the limbs, acoustical and optical delusions, liver and kidney damage, increased risk of spontaneous abortion, coma, and death. Another dangerous effect of methylene chloride is described in Gosselin's Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products. The compound is metabolized to carbon monoxide in humans, which could be dangerous to persons with asthma or cardiovascular problems. In short, methylene chloride is a dangerous solvent suspected of causing cancer, tumor growth, birth defects, reproductive system effects, cell mutations and central nervous system depression. * forwarded by The Edmonds Institute [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** From: Will Offley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Methylene Chloride MSDS http://ehs.clemson.edu/msds/Methyl.html - - MSDS for METHYLENE CHLORIDE - - 1 - PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION - - PRODUCT NAME: METHYLENE CHLORIDE FORMULA: CH2CL2F ORMULA WT: 84.93 CAS NO.: 75-09-2 NIOSH/RTECS NO.: PA805 COMMON SYNONYMS: DICHLOROMETHANE; METHYLENE DICHLORIDE; METHANE DICHLORIDE PRODUCT CODES:9324,9341,Q480,9330,5378,5531,9315,9329,9264 EFFECTIVE: 10/24/86 REVISION

For those believers with guts, check out the book below. Joshua2 BELIEF AND MAKE-BELIEVE by G. A. Wells Why do so many people - sometimes even intelligent people - swallow the preposterous claims of religion? G.A. Wells, the leading freethinker of our time, tries to shed light on this puzzle in his entertaining and enormously learned book, Belief and Make-Believe. Professor Wells begins by analyzing the nature of belief. To dispel popular confusions on the relation between words and thoughts, he compares the thinking processes of scientists, laymen, and chimpanzees. The power of emotion and instinct to help form people's ideological outlooks is analyzed by reference to "defiance" and "reliance", polar attitudes which arise from the need for dominance and submission in primate groups. Wells shows the influence of defiance and reliance in patriotism and in monotheistic religions, where submission to the will of the omnipotent is a wonderful technique for feeling secure in the face of life's actual and ineradicable dangers. Since all knowledgeable Christians now accept that the Bible is uneven, unreliable, and sometimes morally abhorrent, and that the New Testament account of the origin of Christianity is mostly legend, various attempts have been made to save something from the debris by selective re-interpretation. Wells evaluates several typical examples, showing how the apologists shrink from the clear implications of their arguments, which would demolish the whole edifice of Christian doctrine. Finally, Professor Wells debunks some of the extravagant and mystical claims that have been made for the arts, notably poetry, as quasi-religious vehicles for gaining insights into the human condition. George Wells is professor emeritus of German in the University of London. Re is a leading authority on both German intellectual history and the origins of Christiani- ty. His books include Goethe and the Development of Science, The Origin of language, Religious Postures, and Who Was Jesus? = Everyone believes in something. You must believe in gravity, and believe in it blindly... because it can only be understood in theory. Ridiculous. There are NO CONSEQUENCES to believing or not believing in gravity. Belief is irrelevant because it is real and operates upon us whether we know it exists or not. God, on the other hand has no existence outside the " belief " of humans. It is ONLY through belief that god exists. It cannot be physically examined, but it certainly can be experienced, and I'm sure you "believe" in it's reality and its effects. :) Don't knock it, 'til you try it, honey... For example, If you want to believe that the moon is made of green cheese... and is served best with ranch dressing, and if you also believe you've tasted it and experienced it... and you think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, it would be impossible to talk logic with you either. You got that right. And what you are describing here is a form of insanity based on an aversion to reality for whatever reason. Usually simple cowardice. People who believe the Bible was written by God, and those whom you call impossible to talk logic, more than likely have had a life changing experience that has convinced them that the Bible is true. There is no brainwashing or mind control. It's called FAITH. A very healthy human attribute. WOW! What a whopper! Faith ONLY exists through brainwashing and mind control. ONLY! Faith is nothing more than self delusion. There is nothing healthy about it. Not only does faith cause you to believe in the utterly ridiculous, like biologically impossible virgin births and even more absurd resurrections from the dead, it makes the believer a carrier of mental illness which is passed to large numbers of people orally. It then spreads to entire populations and induces mass insanity where even the same ethnic groups start killing each other over religiously induced hal- ucinations.

Funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way,also "believes" in God). Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace. FUNNY, ISN'T IT? Funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week. Are you laughing? Funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not sent it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.

[CTRL] CHINA WAR PLAN AGAINST TAIWAN AND U.S. (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Currently the Drudge headline. It is better to fight now than [in the] future the earlier, the better. [P'raps better rephrased: "It is better to fight now than when Clinton is out of office"?] From: http://www.insightmag.com/cgi-bin/ViewNews.cfm?Item=36 INSIGHT Website EXCLUSIVE: CHINA WAR PLAN AGAINST TAIWAN AND U.S. 3/3/00 - By J. Michael Waller The Peoples Republic of China is actively planning a military invasion of Taiwan and is preparing to wage war against the United States including firing its small arsenal of strategic nuclear missiles on the territory of the United States if Washington attempts to defend the island. In an internal document from the Chinese Communist Partys Central Military Commission to all its regional commanders, Beijing says it hopes to absorb Taiwan through nonviolent means but warns of an increased possibility for a military solution, arguing: It is better to fight now than [in the] future the earlier, the better. In the document, (see "China Prepares for War") Beijing envisions a blitzkrieg-like attack on Taiwan, launching a first fatal strike so that the Taiwan forces have no way to organize effective resistance. Under this plan, we will be able to control Taiwan before the U.S. intervention and then concentrate our forces to fight the U.S. The paper, distributed to commanders in August 1999, urges military leaders to be well prepared for war with Taiwan and, if necessary, the United States, following Taiwan President Lee Teng-huis two-country theory, in which the Republic of China on Taiwan would seek independent statehood. The Communist Chinese leadership views Lees position as a threat to the territorial integrity of the Peoples Republic and argues that if allowed to stand would promote mainland Chinas disintegration by encouraging independence for Tibet and other occupied areas. The paper says that large-scale coastal and inland military exercises planned for Sept. 1999 were intended not only to intimidate Taiwan but to adapt our armed forces to cross-the-Straits operations. Beijing anticipates the passive support of Russia in a Taiwan invasion. A summit between Chinese President Jiang Zemin, Russian President Boris Yeltsin and others in Kazakhstan that same month was intended on Beijings part to help reduce the traditional pressure along our northeast and northwest borders, and increase the proportion of forces which can be moved to the southeast coastal regions, as well as to keep open land routes during the war in case we are forced to fight a full-scale war against the U.S. Insight has obtained a copy of this startling document, which has been translated into English. (Click here to read the full document.) The purpose of the document is to make high-ranking commanders in non-combat as well as combat positions well aware of the following issues so as to better understand the strategic decisions made by the Partys Central Committee and be well-prepared for the war in their units based on the rapidly-changing relationships with Taiwan. The document tells commanders to understand the partys thinking behind its preparations and a wave of politically-oriented military exercises intended to raise the political consciousness of all commanders and soldiers up to a level required by war. Peaceful reunification with Taiwan, according to the Central Military Commission paper, is still the best option for Beijings long-term interests, as military options would be disruptive of the Partys economic development goals. The document says it is very unlikely that European countries would aid in Taiwans defense, but anticipates that the U.S. would attempt to defend against an attack. Therefore, prior to an invasion of Taiwan, we must take into account the above [diplomatic] factors and use diplomatic leverage to minimize international resistance. Beijings crackdown on the Falun Gong spiritual group, the document says, was aimed at crushing separatist sentiment. To outlaw Falun Gong was a preemptive measure aimed at the ultimate resolution of [the] Taiwan issue, according to the document, not only eliminating domestic trouble, but paving the way for reunification as well. The Party leaders seem pleased with the weakness of international protests: Negative international reaction has proven to be limited, and the protest from the U.S. was particularly pale and powerless, fully demonstrating that our Party has the ability and courage to gain advantage in complicated domestic and international struggles. Senior Chinese military officials, the document says, disclosed some information on strategic weaponry so that the U.S. will exercise some caution in decision-making and be aware that it would have to pay a price if it decided to intervene in a military conflict. The purpose is to prevent the U.S. from being deeply involved even if a war

[CTRL] On Gun Training..From Libertarian Party (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- NEWS FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW, Suite 100 Washington DC 20037 World Wide Web: http://www.LP.org === For release: March 3, 2000 === For additional information: George Getz, Press Secretary Phone: (202) 333-0008 Ext. 222 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] === Study: Gun training (not gun bans) can help reduce tragic child violence WASHINGTON, DC -- The shooting of a Michigan 6-year-old may focus renewed attention on a federal study with an unconventional conclusion: Giving kids more access to guns may actually help reduce such tragic incidents in the future, the Libertarian Party said today. "Instead of using the death of Kayla Rolland as an excuse to impose more gun control, politicians like Bill Clinton should read this study -- since it demonstrates that children who are taught by parents to use guns responsibly are far less likely to commit crimes," said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. "No, we can't say that this particular shooting could have been prevented -- or that this troubled 6-year-old should have been given a gun by his equally troubled parents. But what we can say is that, in general, the most effective way to reduce firearm-related violence among children is to buy them a gun and teach them how to use it responsibly." That surprising discovery is contained in a study by the federal government entitled, "Urban Delinquency and Substance Abuse," which was conducted from 1993-1995 by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. In an effort to determine the relationship between "problem behaviors" like drug use, teen pregnancy, and crime, child psychologists tracked 4,000 boys and girls aged 6 to 15 in Denver, Pittsburgh, and Rochester, NY. The findings were a slap in the face to "conventional wisdom" about children and guns, said Dasbach -- and a sharp rebuke to Bill Clinton's renewed calls for mandatory trigger locks and other gun control measures in the wake of Tuesday's shooting in Mount Morris Township, Michigan. According to the study: * Children who get guns from their parents don't commit gun crimes (0%), while children who get illegal guns are very likely to do so (21%). * Children who get guns from parents are less likely to commit any kind of street crime (14%) than children who have no gun in the house (24%) -- and are dramatically less likely to do so than children who acquire an illegal gun (74%). * Children who get guns from parents are less likely to use drugs (13%) than children who get illegal guns (41%). "Boys who own legal firearms have much lower rates of delinquency and drug use [than boys who get illegal guns] and are even slightly less delinquent than non-owners of guns," the study reported. "The evidence is in: When it comes to preventing youthful violence, responsible parents and the Second Amendment apparently work better than politicians' irresponsible proposals, such as so-called smart-gun technology or mandated safety locks," said Dasbach. Are Libertarians saying that every parent should buy their child a gun? "Of course not," said Dasbach. "Deciding whether to give your son or daughter a gun -- and teaching them how to use it -- is a serious decision that every parent will have to make. Many parents will properly decide that their children are not mature enough to learn how to use a gun safely. But the point is: Responsible parents are better able to make that decision than a bunch of irresponsible politicians in Washington, DC. "Such an enlightened approach to gun ownership will not bring Kayla Rolland back to life," Dasbach acknowledged. "But it would make it less likely that another Kayla Rolland would die in such a tragic and pointless incident. And that would be a step in the right direction." = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

The AJC's statement, responding to the Feb. 29 Michigan grade school killing, demanded "tough gun control legislation" as the remedy. Speaking for JPFO, Aaron Zelman called the AJC's demand an example of "ghetto Jew mentality." "Turning to a secular central government to solve a parenting problem shows how morally bankrupt the AJC position is," said Zelman, JPFO's executive director. "Judaism is about timeless moral values and strong family structures -- not about calling in the federal government every time somebody commits a crime." "By agitating for more victim disarmament laws, the AJC works against Jewish values. Jews, like everyone else, have a duty to protect and defend themselves and their families against violence," Zelman noted. "Turning to a non-Jewish secular government to save everyone from crime violates Jewish principles -- it's making the state your god." Zelman challenged the AJC to affirm traditional values and morals. "I don't see the AJC actively working to preserve the Jewish principles of fundamental respect for human life, punishment of wrongdoers, and clear moral training of children. The AJC wants the federal government to prevent honest citizens from having the tools for self-protection, yet the AJC does nothing to knit the social fabric around God's laws." Anticipating a flurry of calls for victim disarmament laws, Zelman criticized the lobbyists who "advance the political agenda called 'gun control' on the bodies of dead children." He also noted that the Mount Morris grade school tragedy would get national media attention, while the thousands of cases of children being protected by armed defenders go unreported. "According to Florida State University Professor Gary Kleck's research, firearms are used to prevent crime nearly 2 million times per year. Firearms misuse is comparatively rare but grabs the headlines," Zelman said. With the AJC's advocating more federal victim disarmament, Zelman observed that "the AJC ignores both Jewish morality and the importance of armed self-defense. Historically, that combination has been lethal for Jews. The AJC certainly demolishes the image that Jews are smart." -0- /U.S. Newswire 202-347-2770/ 03/03 10:55 Copyright 2000, U.S. Newswire http://www.usnewswire.com/topnews/Current_Releases/0303-111.html = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Echelon: NATIONAL SECURITY = LOST RIGHTS (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- NATIONAL SECURITY = LOST RIGHTS 3-5-00 Author: Doug Fiedor NATIONAL SECURITY = LOST RIGHTS As long term readers of this publication know, the National Security Agency has been bugging our communications for nearly fifty years. Lately, in the computer/satellite age, they have gotten so good at it they can monitor everything and anything they goes by wire or is transmitted via radio waves -- even your home wireless baby monitors and the kid's walkie-talkies. NSA is Maryland's largest employer, with well over 30,000 employees. But, only part of their system is there. The network includes 120 satellites and stations located in a number of different countries around the world. According to reports, such as those presented in the European Parliament, Echelon works with its counterpart agencies in England, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It also has many other listening stations. Most interesting to us in the United States are the large ones in Canada and Mexico. Because, these "system" partner governments then monitor each other's traffic to circumvent laws prohibiting governments from spying on their own citizens. That's right. Our personal communications are being spied on by the governments of Canada and Mexico, and to a lesser extent by the governments of England, Australia and New Zealand. These governments then pipe the information to NSA headquarters in Maryland for analysis and dissemination to other federal agencies. Oh sure, NSA's defenders say it strictly adheres to the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which prohibits an agency from deliberately eavesdropping on American citizens, either in the U.S. or overseas. They're supposed to have probable cause and to get a search warrant to do that legally. So, they have agents of a foreign government commit the domestic espionage for them. That gives them plausible denial and they can then report to Congress that they do not illegally spy on American citizens. That's the story that's leaked out, anyway. Officially, they will not even admit that the Echelon program exists. Congress cannot get any information. However, remember the Senate hearings on communist Chinese campaign money laundering? Therein, it came out that workers in the Chinese Embassy in Washington were overheard discussing the illegal funds from the Chinese government. Communist China was laundering illegal money into Congressional campaign funds and some Members of Congress had taken the money. NSA passed the information on to the FBI, and the FBI warned the Members of Congress who were accepting the dirty money. Then, for the most part, it was all hushed up. The Congress critters were not charged with any wrongdoing because the government did not want to expose its means of collecting the information. Generally, that is about as much as recent news accounts are telling us. There is, of course, a lot more to this story. Many in the European Community are a bit upset with our spying techniques. The Clinton administration said that the spook shops will start doing business spying, and so they have. A few months ago, London's "Electronic Telegraph" reported that U.S. spy satellites are stealing the secrets of German businesses. Security experts in Germany have uncovered evidence of a big American industrial espionage operation in Europe using satellite listening posts in both Britain and Germany. "German business is thought to suffer annual losses of at least £7 billion through stolen inventions and development projects. With Europe already locked in a trade war with its American ally over bananas, Germany's high-tech industry wants its government to back a counter- offensive. The main centers used for satellite tapping of millions of confidential company telephone calls, fax and e-mail messages are believed to be terrestrial listening posts run by the American National Security Agency (NSA) at Menwith Hill, near Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and Bad Aibling, Bavaria, with the backing of the American government." Industrial espionage is becoming increasingly aggressive. Secrets are being siphoned off to an extent never experienced until now, said Horst Teltschik, a senior BMW board member and a former security adviser to Helmut Kohl. He is currently trying to coordinate a German business response to the spying problem, the Telegraph reported. To make things easier for the spooks, they wrote a back door into the popular Lotus Notes business software. The Swedish government found it. Rumors are that Microsoft was also talked into adding bugging channels in the new Windows software. Anyway, when the European Union first learned of Echelon a few years ago, they became a bit upset and called on our government to explain. Washington sent over a few representatives from our FBI and spook agencies and they "talked." Well,

Things that are not essential, but hard to live without. What's being supplied here is demand. Want. Craving. All you could desire. All you can imagine. Maybe more than you can handle. "WHY IS THIS CHILD SMILING?" asks a recent print ad of a cute tot blissfully snoozing. "Because he has lived his whole life in the biggest bull market in history." Cue the smug nods, the flush of pride. For here, swaddled in Baby Gap and lying in a Morigeau crib, is the immaculate American kid, born in the best damn place and time there has ever been. A child wanting for nothing. He will soon learn, of course, to want everything. Americans are beyond apologizing for their lifestyle of scorched-earth consumerism. To the strange little cabal of moralists -- Robert Frank, Jedediah Purdy et al. -- who have recently questioned the official program, the response has mostly been to crank up the volume and drown the doubt out. Global consumer culture? Supersize it, baby. Pile on the wattage, horsepower, silicone, cholesterol and RAM until the lights flicker, the smoke-alarms shriek and the cardiac paddles lurch to life. Give us marbled steaks and sport-utes, please, and put it all on our tab -- we're good for it. Because we are working dogs. And we have worked out the formula for millennial prosperity: keep your head down and your wallet open, and watch the economy roll. Enjoy the rollicking good times while building "the America we deserve." Time was, decadence on this scale was something to fear. If one group of people was gobbling up resources out of all proportion to its needs, consuming at thirty times the rate of other groups of people, at everyone's expense, well . . . that was bad karma, to say the least. Their society was surely soft, cancerous and doomed. But somehow, the First World has managed to give it all a happy spin. We have decided not to avoid decadence but to embrace it. Crave it. Buy it. Sell it. What's decadent? Ice cream with the density of plutonium, a bubblebath with a barley-flour chaser, that great new Gucci scent called "Envy." Decadence is just the celebration of universal human appetites, fully expressed -- and any premium wiener who'd object to that idea must already be half-dead. There's no mistaking contemporary America for Versailles-era France or Rome in the time of the Caesars. Decadence has grown up, grown cool, grown systematic in its excess. It's an indoor trout stream in the tasteful lakeside mansion of a software magnate. It's leasing, rather than owning, a fine German automobile so you can exchange it for a new one in ten months. You don't see the new deci-billionnaires of Silicon Valley splashing their wealth around wantonly, like the '80s Wall Street crowd. What you see is specific, laser-guided generosity -- like cutting friends and relatives into the IPO, or buying a tax-deductible painting by your boss' kid. Keeping the money in the family. The woman most recently canonized by the American media was a personal shopper, by trade. (It was said Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, whose job was to purchase things for other people too wealthy or time-pressed to purchase things for themselves, personified elegance, refinement and understatement.) The new design aesthetic, as seen in Wallpaper magazine, is sexily minimalist, with high design and hyperattention to every detail. Labor-intensive and expensive as hell, but worth it. See how much we've grown up? Can you understand now why the rest of the world has its nose to the glass, wanting a piece of this? Perhaps decadence isn't a thing but a behavior -- some gesture just arrogant and shameless enough to be Bad (read, good). An American golf fan, swept up by jingoism, spits on a rival golfer's wife at a prestigious international tournament. A real-estate mogul erects a great middle-finger of an apartment building shadowing the United Nations. The most powerful man in the world proves he is pathologically unable to apologize. Or maybe decadence goes deeper than a behavior, as deep as the emotion that hatched it. The Motion Picture Association of America fixes an R rating on films that include profanity, nudity, sex, violence or "decadent situations." So understanding decadence may simply involve renting a few saucy blockbuster action pictures and monitoring the responses they provoke. As the beloved stars appear on the screen, predictable thoughts materialize in the primitive hindbrain of the viewer: I want your hair. I want your money. I want to see you naked on the Internet.

The book was written by Christine Negroni, the CNN reporter who kept calling me over several days pleading with me to renounce the Navy-missile theory on camera for CNN. They wanted to fly a video crew down from New York to Maryland to record my renunciation of the Navy-missile theory, which I informed her I was inclined to do since I was afraid that the media would destroy me or someone would be gunning for me unless I decisively renounced the Navy-missile theory. While I wasn't laughing, she said a death threat against me merely displayed a "wicked sense of humor." I refused to do an on-camera interview and said I don't think this is newsworthy. I eventually agreed to write a statement. Christine Negroni also called Pierre Salinger hoping to arrange a joint renunciation. While in an act of self- preservation Salinger said he would stop talking about the Navy-missile theory, unlike myself, Salinger had the courage and experience with the media not allow himself to be intimidated into renouncing his beliefs, and thus he refused to be involved with CNN's scheme. I have yet to see Negroni's new book, but this sounds about right: == Deadly Departure - Why the Experts Failed to Prevent the TWA Flight 800 Disaster and How it Could Happen Again Christine Negroni / Cliff Street Books 2000 Reviewed February 2000 @ twa800.webjump.com Serious observers of the TWA Flight 800 disaster should contumeliously dismiss Ms. Negroni's book. The author's understanding of this complex subject is so manifestly superficial that one presumes she is blissfully unaware of just how execrable this book is. Surely she does not realize the extent to which her work is at times offensive, defamatory and factually misleading. Offensive? Her ham-handed attempts to reconstruct the thoughts and actions of the flight crew after the initial explosion are in questionable taste. Worse, she cites the names of individual passengers and describes their injuries in gruesome detail. Apparently the author believes public understanding of this event is somehow furthered by revealing by name which individuals were "torn to pieces" and of whom only "bones were recovered." Defamatory? Consider Ivor Thomas. Mr. Thomas is considered one of the world's foremost authorities on aviation fuel systems with over forty years in the airplane industry. As a Boeing employee and a participant in the NTSB investigation into TWA 800, Thomas has devoted his career to enhancing fuel system safety. After the public hearings, Thomas left Boeing to continue this work at the FAA. Negroni smears his integrity as follows: "Thomas had disregarded the need for fuel system explosion protection mechanisms from the time he arrived on Boeing property in 1966. Now he would be the person air safety regulators turned to for guidance." Consider Linda Kunz. Kunz photographically documented irregularities with the NTSB procedures for tagging wreckage to identify which debris zone it was found in. As a TWA representative and authorized party to the NTSB investigation, Kunz forwarded these photographs to her superiors in order to generate corrective action. Negroni describes this action as being "in violation of the FBI rules at the hangar" and says that Kunz "very nearly got TWA kicked off the investigation." Negroni fails to examine why "FBI rules" were in effect in the hangar or how Ms. Kunz's action should be construed as misconduct. Consider the aviation industry as a whole. Negroni's central thesis is difficult to identify since the book is constructed in random fashion, chaotically veering from topic to topic without regard to chronology or coherence. However, it seems to be that "the experts", i.e. the airplane manufacturers, the airlines and the government regulatory agencies have long been engaged in a "conspiracy of inaction" with regard to the supposed hazards of fuel tank explosions. She presents the rejection of fuel tank inerting systems on commercial airliners not as an engineering decision, but as a mercenary gamble with safety. Factually misleading?

Worldwide distribution via the APC networks. *** 02-Mar-0* *** Title: PETROLEUM: OPEC Meeting to Decide Fate of Soaring Prices By Luis C¢rdova CARACAS, Mar 2 (IPS) - Rising oil prices, currently nudging 30 dollars per barrel, convinced the world's three largest producers Thursday to increase the supply on the international market in order to keep prices in check, but anxiety about the future direction of prices will go on for another 25 days, until OPEC delegates meet in Vienna. ''There is consensus on the need to increase production this year,'' commented Venezuela's Energy minister, Al¡ Rodr¡guez, as he left a crucial meeting with his colleagues Luis Tllez, from Mexico, and Al¡ Naimi, from Saudi Arabia. The three met Thursday in London to assess the impacts of the current high oil prices. But Rodr¡guez, calling from London, confirmed on a Caracas radio programme that the world must wait until the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) meets before it will know how much the crude supply will be expanded and when this additional quantity will make its way to the market. Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Venezuela are seen as the authors of the OPEC agreement to restrict petroleum production, which led to the ongoing price increases that began in March 1999 after the price per barrel hit its lowest point in two decades. ** [These three countries are American puppet states. Particularly Oil puppet states. If the price of oil goes up, it is not an act of god. They are gouging the most dependent users of petroleum while we still have money in our pockets. Bill Richardson, the US Secretary of energy, gave the ok to raise oil prices. Free market my ass. When capitalists control vital commodities, we are at the mercy of the merciless. --J2] ''The commitment we made was to stabilise the market,'' stated Rodr¡guez, who will now initiate a series of talks with other OPEC ministers. Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are founding members of the cartel, and worked with Mexico and Norway to push for last year's price recovery. On the agenda for the OPEC conference is the decision on whether the member nations will moderate or deactivate their strategy of oil production quotas, or extend the restrictions on the world supply for a time longer. When the strategy was decided last March, oil prices had suffered an important decline throughout the previous year, which had serious negative impacts on the economies of the petroleum exporting nations. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a US-produced light crude, sold at 12.97 dollars per barrel during the first quarter of 1999, and in the last two weeks reached 30 dollars. According to international reports, it has surged beyond that watermark in recent days. For the North Sea Brent oil company, the 11.24 dollar average barrel price during 1999's first quarter reached more than 27 dollars this week. OPEC saw its oil prices jump from 11 dollars a year ago to 26.7 per barrel by Feb 27, according to Venezuela's Energy Ministry. The strong upswing in prices during the year made the price issue a problem for oil importing countries. Several weeks ago, the United States began to insist on the need for measures to moderate petroleum prices. The three countries that met Thursday in London, and other oil producing nations such as Norway and Kuwait, were contacted by the US Energy Secretary, Bill Richardson, and the parties backed the general principle that they must work to ensure the stability of the world oil market. ''The ministers agreed that an adequate supply of petroleum at reasonable prices is of crucial importance,'' stated the official communique emitted in Venezuela following the Rodr¡guez-Richardson meeting Tuesday in the British capital. The Venezuelan official underscored the need to prevent market volatility and repeatedly stated it would be necessary to implement corrective measures if the prices go above 30 dollars per barrel. But he has also stated that this South American nation continues to back OPEC decisions and awaits the organisation's decision to be made March 27. The Saudi minister Naimi agreed with the need to stabilise the market, but only if it is done within the framework established by OPEC. The OPEC meeting later this month promises to be turbulent, despite the flexible attitude of some of its members, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Venezuela. Others, including Iran and Algeria, have indicated they favour extending the quota strategy until mid-year, saying they expect a seasonal drop in demand. According to data evaluated by Venezuelan analysts, the current world demand - 77 million barrels of oil per day - is met with a supply of 75 million barrels, which leaves a deficit of two million barrels daily.

[CTRL] N.Y. Times Endorses Gore, McCain in Primary
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Sunday March 5 12:28 AM ET N.Y. Times Endorses Gore, McCain in Primary NEW YORK (Reuters) - Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites) and Arizona Sen. John McCain (news - web sites) were endorsed on Sunday by the New York Times in the upcoming New York State primary on Super Tuesday, March 7. In its editorial, the Times pointed out that it had not endorsed any candidate in the presidential primaries since 1962. In choosing McCain over Texas Gov. George W. Bush (news - web sites), the Times said it felt that Bush had ``embraced a punitive hard-right agenda ... and made himself an instrument'' of his party's Congressional leaders. The newspaper said Sen. McCain of Arizona ``would not have to be repackaged and repositioned when it comes to outreach and reform. ``He has a proven ability to get votes from the vital center of the American spectrum,'' the editorial says. The Times also noted that McCain vowed to break the ``iron triangle'' of donations, lobbyists and legislation. The paper said one of its reasons in not endorsing former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley (news - web sites) was that he ``possesses an even more disturbing inability to convey a real hunger for the opportunity to serve.'' But in choosing Gore, the Times said that while there was plenty to criticize in his style and substance, the Vice President ``brings tremendous gifts to his quest for the White House.'' The newspaper said that Gore had ``a passion to lead, a determination to leave a positive mark on history and a burning desire to step out of his mentor's shadow and prove that he possesses the self-control and presidential high-mindedness so lacking in Mr. Clinton.'' The paper also gave Gore high marks on foreign policy, saying the Vice President ``is clearly the best prepared candidate in this race. He is also his party's strongest leader on environmental protection and scientific progress.'' The Times said that Sunday's primary endorsements of McCain and Gore applied only to the primary race and that the newspaper would make a final presidential endorsement late in the campaign for the November general election. - RECOMMENDED BOOKS http://www.bmvs.com/sites/anomalous/books/recommend.asp RECOMMENDED VIDEOS http://www.bmvs.com/sites/anomalous/videos/recommend.asp ANOMALOUS IMAGES WEBSITE http://www.anomalous-images.com A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] [BRIGADE] Quit WTO: House Members Urge US
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Dear Brigade, "In a statement, [Ron] Paul, a longtime foe of the WTO, said he submitted the resolution because the WTO "is an egregious attack upon our national sovereignty, and this is the reason why we must vigorously oppose it'' ..." GO PAT GO!!! Linda Date sent: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 19:32:11 -0800 (PST) From: Kenneth L Lowndes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:House Members Urge US to Quit WTO HOT! - Friday March 3, 2000 House Members Urge US to Quit WTO By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A group of conservative House members promised Friday to introduce legislation demanding that the United States quit the World Trade Organization. The move will force the full House to take up a second contentious trade issue this year. The effort, being led by Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, guarantees a vote within 90 days on withdrawing from the WTO, the Geneva-based organization that has become a lightning rod for opponents of globalization. Under the 1994 legislation that authorized U.S. membership in the newly created WTO, Congress required the administration to submit a progress report after five years of WTO membership about the costs and benefits to the U.S. economy. Upon receipt of that report, which the administration submitted Thursday, any member of Congress can file a joint resolution demanding that the United States withdraw its membership. To ensure that the issue cannot be bottled up in committee, the 1994 law required a vote within 90 days by the full House or Senate, depending on where the withdrawal measure was introduced. That means the Clinton administration will be forced to defend U.S. membership in the WTO at the same time it is seeking votes to grant China permanent normal trade relations with the United States as part of China's WTO membership bid. Republican leaders, who expected WTO opponents in the House to file a withdrawal resolution, have indicated a vote on the issue will occur before the House takes up the administration's China request. In a statement, Paul, a longtime foe of the WTO, said he submitted the resolution because the WTO ``is an egregious attack upon our national sovereignty, and this is the reason why we must vigorously oppose it.'' Other opponents of the WTO make similar claims. Organized labor, environmental organizations and consumer groups brought thousands of demonstrators to the streets of Seattle last December for protests against what the groups see as the WTO's unbalanced emphasis on breaking down trade barriers no matter what the cost to workers' rights and environmental protections. These groups have not indicated they will be backing the Paul effort, however, because of worries that it would detract from what they view as the real trade fight in Congress this year, the administration's request to end the annual reviews of China's trade status with the United States. ``Scheduling this vote before the China vote will be an effort to demonstrate some sort of support for free trade. But obviously, the big fight this year is going to be on China and not pulling out of the WTO,'' said Patrick Woodall, a spokesman for Public Citizen Global Trade Watch, a leading opponent of the WTO. The administration concluded in its report to Congress, released Friday in its full printed version, that WTO membership has been overwhelmingly beneficial to the United States. Benefits came, it said, both through tariff reductions being implemented as part of the last round of global trade talks and through the WTO's binding dispute-resolution procedures. While the United States has won a number of cases before the WTO, it lost its biggest case so far just last week when the WTO ruled that a billion annual tax break for American exporters violates global trade rules. Paul said the loss of the tax case underscored the arguments he and other opponents are making that the United States has handed over to an international tribunal its ability to make tax law. The administration's review of the impact of WTO membership on the U.S. economy was only part of a 310-page report the administration issues every year assessing recent trade developments and laying out its trade agenda for the coming year. WTO critics called the administration's assessment a whitewash that glossed over the 135-nation organization's major flaws. In addition to Paul, other House members who have signed on as sponsors of the withdrawal resolution are Reps. John Duncan Jr., R-Tenn.; Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif.; Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.; Jack Metcalf, R-Wash.; and Gene Taylor, D-Miss. -- end -- ~~~ T H E I N T E R N E T B R I G A D E Linda
[CTRL] Bush, McCain escalate battle in weekend vote scramble
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Bush, McCain escalate battle in weekend vote scramble Copyright © 2000 Nando Media Copyright © 2000 Associated Press By GLEN JOHNSON BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (March 4, 2000 7:50 p.m. EST http://www.nandotimes.com) - The Republican presidential contenders escalated their battle for Super Tuesday votes Saturday, with George W. Bush charging that John McCain has "clouded" education views Saturday, and McCain demanding "Where's the outrage?" over a late surge of money to pay for negative TV ads. McCain's question mimicked a line from the presidential campaign of former Sen. Bob Dole, the 1996 Republican nominee and a close friend of McCain. In the weekend before Tuesday's 13-state cluster of primaries and caucuses, Bush, the governor of Texas, campaigned in New York while McCain, a senator from Arizona, started his day in New England. The 613 delegates up for grabs Tuesday represent about two thirds of the 1,034 needed to win the nomination at the Republican National Convention this summer in Philadelphia. Heading into this week's voting, Bush had won 170 delegates and McCain 105. Alan Keyes, a radio talk-show host and the only other candidate remaining in the race, has 5, with 12 delegates officially uncommitted. Accompanied by Gov. George Pataki of New York, a host of New York congressmen and the chairman of the New York Republican Party, Bush spoke about education policy as he visited Rochester and Binghamton in a quest for the state's 101 convention delegates. That bounty is second only to the 162 at stake in California, where Bush leads McCain among Republicans. McCain started his day in Boston before flying to an event in Portland, Maine, and later stops in Syracuse and Rochester, N.Y. Polls show McCain leading in the five New England states that vote Tuesday, and a very close race looming in New York. Pataki, a two-term governor and a product of New York's formidable Republican machine, has put his organization - and his political capital - behind the candidacy of Bush, an effort made unsuccessfully by Gov. John Engler of Michigan two weeks ago. "Pataki has a real risk of being Englerized," said Nelson Warfield, a Republican operative who helped run Bob Dole's 1996 presidential campaign and who knows New York politics well. "If he is seen as losing his state for Bush, that hurts him." Pataki rejected the notion, saying: "Next Tuesday's a referendum on George Bush and John McCain." In fact, Pataki has had trouble keeping the New York troops in line, with Staten Island Borough President Guy Molinari and U.S. Rep. Peter King switching to McCain from the Bush camp. New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who has endorsed Bush, went public with his refusal to join a Pataki-led effort to attack McCain's legislative record as "anti-New York." Bush later traveled to Hartford, Conn., where he was greeted by three governors - John Rowland of Connecticut, Paul Cellucci of Massachusetts and Christie Todd Whitman of New Jersey. Whitman, who was not among the majority of GOP governors who had already endorsed Bush, did so at the governor's Hartford event. Whitman withheld an earlier endorsement because Steve Forbes, a financial publisher from New Jersey, had been campaigning for the nomination. "We know he can get the job done," Whitman said. "We need somebody who will unite us through our strength, not divide us because of our differences." McCain aides also have their eye on California, where he's been 20 points behind among Republicans in the polls. They concede the senator must make a strong showing - at least in the overall vote - to keep his candidacy viable. Any California voter can cast a ballot in the Republican primary, but only votes from Republicans will count in assigning delegates. "I don't know if it's decisive or not. I know it's a critical period," McCain said of Tuesday's vote. Echoing the theme of a new campaign ad airing in New York and California, Bush charged that McCain offered a "clouded vision" on education policy when asked during a debate Thursday night. Bush is starting to air a radio ad this weekend in downstate New York and "targeted markets" in California strongly criticizing McCain's position on education and praising Bush's as "remarkable for its conservatism." In New York, the education ad will run concurrently with a controversial ad that accused McCain of being opposed to breast cancer research "They know know no depths," McCain said of the latest Bush ad. "There's no shame associated with the (Bush) campaign." The Bush campaign has been running the breast-cancer ad arguing that McCain voted against research on the disease, while McCain says he has repeatedly voted to boost breast-cancer research spending. The vote cited in the Bush ad was one where McCain opposed putting breast-cancer money in a military-spending measure. The senator's campaign staff called a news conference Saturday in Southern
