From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: Conspiracy Shopping Cart: http://a-albionic.com/shopping.html From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smashthestate] Warrior Cops Date: Saturday, March 25, 2000 9:55 PM From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What follows is an executive summary of a study done by the Cato Institute. The full report can be obtained at http://www.cato.org/pubs/briefs/bp50.pdf The subject is truly disturbing. The US is turning more into a police state with each passing day. Warrior Cops The Ominous Growth of Paramilitarism in American Police Departments by Diane Cecilia Weber Diane Cecilia Weber is a Virginia writer on law enforcement and criminal justice. Executive Summary Over the past 20 years Congress has encouraged the U.S. military to supply intelligence, equipment, and training to civilian police. That encouragement has spawned a culture of paramilitarism in American law enforcement. The 1980s and 1990s have seen marked changes in the number of state and local paramilitary units, in their mission and deployment, and in their tactical armament. According to a recent academic survey, nearly 90 percent of the police departments surveyed in cities with populations over 50,000 had paramilitary units, as did 70 percent of the departments surveyed in communities with populations under 50,000. The Pentagon has been equipping those units with M-16s, armored personnel carriers, and grenade launchers. The police paramilitary units also conduct training exercises with active duty Army Rangers and Navy SEALs. State and local police departments are increasingly accepting the military as a model for their behavior and outlook. The sharing of training and technology is producing a shared mindset. The problem is that the mindset of the soldier is simply not appropriate for the civilian police officer. Police officers confront not an enemy but individuals who are protected by the Bill of Rights. Confusing the police function with the military function can lead to dangerous and unintended consequencessuch as unnecessary shootings and killings. GET A NEXTCARD VISA, in 30 seconds!

STRATFOR.COM's Global Intelligence Update - 31 March 2000 __ Today, Stratfor.com examines an unusual episode: the seizure of Soviet-era armored personnel carriers in the port of Hong Kong. If you have any light to shed on this incident, Stratfor.com invites you to talk with us, merely by clicking on this link. http://www.stratfor.com/feedback.asp __ STRATFOR.COM Global Intelligence Update 31 March 2000 Hong Kong Seizes Armored Vehicles Bound for China SUMMARY Hong Kong customs officials announced on March 30 the seizure of five Soviet-era BTR-70 armored personnel carriers (APC) being smuggled onto the mainland. The armored vehicles were discovered on board a ship sailing from Naples, Italy to Tianjin, with stops in Haifa, Israel and Singapore. There are several intriguing aspects to the attempted smuggling and seizure of the vehicles. Though the exact purpose remains unclear, Stratfor.com found that the ship's operator is in fact a Beijing shipping company with close links to the People's Liberation Army. ANALYSIS Hong Kong customs officials announced on March 30 the seizure of five Soviet-era BTR-70 armored personnel carriers, allegedly bound for Tianjin municipality, which borders the municipality of Beijing. The armored vehicles were impounded, as they did not have the proper import license for strategic commodities, according to news reports. While on the surface it appears to be a simple case of Hong Kong blocking the illegal transshipment of military hardware, several aspects of the incident present intriguing possibilities. While the details remain unclear, the seizure is obviously significant. At the extreme, it could signal preparations for an attempted rebellion against Beijing, or a move by Hong Kong to assert its autonomy from Beijing. It could also represent a failed attempt at secret arms transfers through Italy to North Korea, a simple crackdown on an already controversial shipping company or a move by local Tianjin or Shanghai businesses to create their own private security forces. According to Hong Kong reports, the BTR-70s arrived in Hong Kong at 8 p.m. local time March 29 on board the Xibohe, a Panamanian- registered container vessel. The armored vehicles, reportedly sold by a Ukranian company to a mainland Chinese firm, sailed on board the Xibohe from Naples, Italy on March 10. The ship stopped in Haifa, Israel and Singapore before arriving in Hong Kong. The ship was apparently to travel from Hong Kong to Xingang, Tianjin and then to Shanghai. Customs agents found the BTR-70s when one was discovered already unloaded from the ship at 2 a.m. on March 30; the other four remained in plain sight on the deck. None of the armored vehicles were equipped with weapons, and no other military equipment was found on board the Xibohe, according to reports. This is not the first case of Hong Kong seizing an armored personnel carrier being shipped through its port facilities. In August 1997, just a month after Hong Kong was reunited with mainland China, Hong Kong authorities impounded a Chinese-made WZ551 armored personnel carrier that had been on display in Thailand. The manufacturer, North China Industries (Norinco), had attempted to ship it through Hong Kong to its factory in China's southern Guangdong Province without the proper papers. In February 1999, Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-Hwa denied the company's requests for the return of the APC. The most recent incident comes less than a month after U.S. Undersecretary of State for East Asian Affairs Stanley Roth met with Tung in part to discuss efforts to end arms smuggling through Hong Kong. Following the announcement of the seizure of the five armored personnel carriers, a spokesman for the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department told reporters, "The discovery...proves that Hong Kong is totally committed to the implementation of an effective and comprehensive strategic controls." While Hong Kong is portraying the seizure of the BTR-70s as a demonstration that it will not allow any form of smuggling, particularly arms shipments, there remain two important questions: who was importing the BTR-70s, and why? Ronald Au Yee-Leung, head of Hong Kong Customs Ship Search and Cargo Command, refused to identify to the press the operator of the Xibohe, telling the Hong Kong Standard only that it was "a well-established company ... not known to be involved in military transportation." In an interview with Reuters, he again refused to name the shipping company. Upon investigation by Stratfor.com, however, the ship's operator was found to be COSCO Container Line Agencies Limited, a Hong Kong branch of China Ocean Shipping (COSCO). COSCO is in fact a Beijing shipping company with close links to the People's Liberation Army (PLA). While Au refused to name the operator of the Xibohe, he did nothing to hide the name of the ship, making it easy to discover

Orlin Grabbe/A - Information Warfare Echelon Illegal, European Union Says If the UK spies with America, is it part of Europe? THE European Union condemned Britain's role in an Anglo-American espionage network as illegal yesterday, vowing to confront the Government over the controversy at the next EU justice ministers' meeting. Fernando Gomez, the Portuguese Interior Minister, on behalf of EU governments, said: "The Council cannot accept the existence of this kind of system, which does not respect the legal requirements of the member states." European MPs amassed enough votes this week to demand a parliamentary investigation into the Echelon eavesdropping capability, arguing that Britain was in violation of Article 11 of the Amsterdam Treaty obliging member states to "refrain from any action which is contrary to the interests of the Union". Anger has been deepening among European Parliament members in recent days. During the deabte Jean-Claude Martinez, a French Euro-MP, said: "We're told that the European Union is threatened by Jörg Haider's Austria, but it's the Great Britain of Tony Blair that is the real threat." The involvement of the Council of Ministers takes the dispute to a new level, suggesting that the Prime Minister can no longer count on acquiescence from other European leaders over Britain's divided loyalties on intelligence issues. Mr Gomez said matters had been brought to a head by recent comments by James Woolsey, the former director of the CIA, who confirmed that the eaves dropping capability had been used to intercept the electronic communications of European companies. In an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro this week, Mr Woolsey said: "Yes, the United States secretly collects information on European firms; and, yes, I believe it is totally justified. It is not a question of industrial espionage for the benefit of American companies. That is something the US absolutely doesn't do. Our objective is to monitor companies that break UN or US government sanctions, to track 'dual use' technology, and to watch for corruption in international commerce." Mr Woolsey accused France of having used bribery to promote the interests of its companies abroad. The European Commission has also intervened in the affair, requesting formal clarification from the British and American governments. Yesterday it released a letter from Sir Stephen Wall, Britain's permanent representative in Brussels, who explained that the country's spy services operate under strict guidelines regulated by Parliament and conform with the European Commission on Human Rights. In the letter he wrote: "Like other member states' agencies, the UK security and intelligence Agencies co-operate with counterparts overseas, both in the EU member states and elsewhere including the United States. We do not, however, allow other nations to use UK facilities, including interception from any site in the UK, for commercial advantage." The American government said it does "not collect proprietary commercial, technical, or financial information for the benefit of private firms". The Commission has taken a cautious stance so far. Erkki Liikanen, the Commissioner for the Information Society, told Euro-MPs yesterday that his hands were tied because the "activities of intelligence agencies of member states fall outside the scope of community law". The Commission can act only on a specific complaint alleging that individual interests have been damaged in some way by Anglo-American espionage. This has not yet happened, but it is almost certain to do so soon. The London Telegraph, March 31, 2000 - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations.

[CTRL] [1] UPDATE: THE RED CHINESE SECRET POLICE IN THE UNITED STATES,
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Click Here: A HREF="http://www.skolnicksreport.com/chinesesp.html"Sherman Skolnick's Report/A - UPDATE: THE RED CHINESE SECRET POLICE IN THE UNITED STATES, Part One of a Series by Sherman H. Skolnick In the Opium Wars, Great Britain was determined to subdue China by flooding them with dope, which also financed British worldwide interests. It was likewise a great ongoing profit to the British Monarchy. Now American Big Business wants to merge some of their doings with Red China. So IBM, Boeing, and other multi-national Big Feet want to tap into Red China's large pool of low-cost labor. To conceal what is going on, the American monopoly press seldom tell us what is necessary to know to understand all this. Here are some items, to be dealt with in this series, that the pressfakers do not tell US, the common people of the United States: [1] The History of the Red Chinese Secret Police IN THE UNITED STATES. [2] The Red Chinese Secret Police penetration of commodity and other markets and exchanges, including the foreign currency markets. [3] The overlap and the blackmarket and theft of financial, industrial, and military secrets of the U.S., by the Red Chinese Secret Police. [4] Paying back the Rockefellers: flooding America with Red China dope through the U.S. heartland. [5] Red Chinese prisoners' human body parts and the U.S. Rockefeller hospitals. [6] Other foreign intelligence agencies operating in the U.S. jointly with the Red Chinese Secret Police. [7] Foreign presslords operating in the U.S. jointly with the Red Chinese Secret Police. And Chinese royalty and the American mass media. H I S T O R Y When the Korean War ended, 1953, the U.S. made a peace accord, of sorts, with North Korea. There were no surrender terms, however, apparently with mainland China which had intervened in that war. The Red Chinese Secret Police, one of the most accomplished in the world, had a score to settle with the United States. After all, the Beijing government was disgruntled in that the U.S. Military, supposedly acting for the U.N., under Gen. Douglas MacArthur, had caused Red China to intervene in the war. How? MacArthur ordered U.S. troops to continue their penetration of North Korea all the way to the Yalu River, the North Korea/Red China boundary line. The result: waves and waves of Red Chinese troops, in the dead of winter, attacked U.S. troops. There were heavy casualties on both sides. Young Americans, ordered into this, froze to death. Those that survived remember the cold horror all the days of their lives. Some like MacArthur wanted to retaliate with massive force, such as nuclear bombs. Setting off a backlash and a furor, President Harry S Truman recalled Gen.MacArthur who was greeted in America with huge ticker tape parades. Some of what happened thereafter was more or less concealed for most of the balance of the 20th Century. How and what happened requires a short lesson in seldom discussed past events. The Chinese Secret Police have a long history, going back to 550 B.C. They have always been highly skilled at their work. By the 20th Century they were called Te-Wu and they use a clandestine dialect almost impossible even for professionals to get into and understand. How could the American CIA and FBI---the Secret Police and Counter-Intelligence of the U.S.---deal with such a situation? With only one exception, there have been no defectors to the West from the Red Chinese Secret Police. The American Secret Political Police either were stymied by all this or did not want to deal with it at all. Certainly not effectively. Half-heartedly, the American CIA used U.S. espionage experts left over from World War Two. Those who left the CIA predecessor group, OSS, and were supposedly out of service. Quietly, the then-young CIA asked these spy-chasers supposedly to track Te-Wu here. By 1956, the Red Chinese Secret Police launched a massive effort to infiltrate the U.S. and to punish Americans ON THEIR OWN SOIL. To counter this, only a small number of American spooks were used. And they were not well encouraged or respected by the CIA bosses. The CIA's rationale: the Korean War was OVER, leave well enough alone. The team of trackers were puzzled and startled by what they were finding out. What were the Red Chinese doing here? They were suspected of strange bombings and murders---an on-going campaign to punish the U.S. on their OWN SOIL for causing Red China to intervene in the Korean War and suffer huge casualties. With the coming of Chairman Mao, a wave of young, clever Chinese supposedly ran away to the U.S. They were ordered to penetrate. Many were from families that became wealthy in the dope traffic through major cities like Shanghai. To counter the dopers, Chairman Mao did not bother with legalities. He claimed the ruling families and their crimes were already too well known. Pictures ended up in Western magazines, of the Chinese
[CTRL] Fwd: FC: MarvinRunyon.com -- How canny bureaucrats grab dot com wealth
The Washington Times op-ed Marvin Runyon.com By Grover Norquist On the Internet, being first to market with a recognizable product name or service - or simply an idea - can mean instant riches. This creates a unique conflict of interest for regulatory officials who sometimes decide who gets this vital first-mover advantage, or in some instances, go private themselves and move to the head of the line. Take the case of former Postmaster General Marvin Runyon, who oversaw the regulatory process for online postage. Mr. Runyon decided which companies could bring products to market, and then conveniently dealt himself stock options worth a cool $3.8 million after leaving the U.S. Postal Service to become a director of Stamps.com . The instant wealth of public officials who become dot-com millionaires should alarm taxpayers. We rejoice in the success of true entrepreneurs who legally and honorably apply skills and name recognition gained in public service to make their fortunes. But the possibility of self-dealing privatizations as the Internet economy forces independent government agencies and public corporations to undertake radical changes could mean that taxpayers - who capitalized these agencies and are effectively the shareholders - could get the short end of the stick. In Russia, politically appointed officials have all too often looted formerly state-run corporations denying these enterprises both the capital and the responsible executive leadership they need to remake themselves. Most Americans believe such a thing could never happen here. They are wrong. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is first and foremost among public corporations that must evolve to exist in a world where e-mail and electronic payments are essential tools of business. Under Mr. Runyon, the USPS was cleaned up but was not radically restructured. The USPS has a labor problem. It cannot survive without ongoing taxpayer subsidies, both direct and indirect, unless it finds some way to reduce the labor subsidies that represent some 75 to 80 percent of its cost structure. It must streamline the antiquated work rules that constrict it. It must realign itself to handle the flood of new delivery tasks that are supplanting, though by no means eliminating, traditional first-class mail. In short, the USPS must become more like a business. This transition is unlikely to occur while the USPS remains a quasi-governmental enterprise that regulates and competes with private companies offering delivery-related e-commerce services. The case of Mr. Runyon and Stamps.com is an unseemly, even if currently legal, example of the treacherous conflicts of interest inherent in regulating the e-world. More worrisome, though, are plans the USPS is quietly floating to move into competitive e-commerce and electronic payment services through a private subsidiary, which it would own and could eventually float, on the IPO market. Real privatization of the USPS is a good thing. But a Runyon-style privatization in which managers walk off with valuable properties and the unreformed company becomes a moribund wreck without the means to revive itself would be a disaster. Taxpayers, consumers, and the public have too much at stake to let this happen. The recently announced postal rate increase is a scandal in itself and one more case of how the USPS wishes to have its cake and eat it, too when market forces are concerned. Calculations by economist Thomas Duesterberg show that the price of a first-class stamp has quadrupled in nominal terms (a-real increase of about 10 percent) since 1970 while the cost of other communications technologies has plummeted. To the extent technology has improved efficiency at the USPS, a study by Professor Rick Geddes of Fordham University and the Hoover Institution shows that due to lack of competition, economic gains have been retained within the USPS in the form or higher wages and benefits rather than passed on as savings to the consumer. If the Postal Service is ever to become a dot-com company, exposure to competition without special privileges should be one of the ground rules. Another should be that postal privatization does not mean wealth for managers and political insiders while postal workers performing an essential service remain wards of the state. Postal reform legislation now in Congress makes good headway on the problem of USPS competition with the private sector. It also explains what a private law corporation owned by the USPS should look like and what protections must be in place for the taxpayer. Taxpayers should give these reforms two cheers but keep close scrutiny on the process. Over the years, taxpayers have invested countless billions in the USPS. They must not permit this investment to be undercut by a dot-com offering that leverages the USPS name but leaves the underlying reality unchanged. Grover Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform and a member of the Advisory Commission on
Re: [CTRL] [ncndiscuss] Cultural disease
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- I'm reading a science-fiction (or izzat science-future? .. seems like a lot of the stuff that was science-fiction 30 years ago is commonplace today) ... book called "Diaspora" that deals with some of the questions below, as consciousness migrates from flesh to silicon nanotech. Dave Hartley http://www.asheville-computer.com/dave http://www.ru.org/93inaya.html New Renaissance Vol. 9, No. 3 New Futures Ahead: Genetics or Microvita? by Sohail Inayatullah The future might be just what we think it will be. The conventional view of the future assumes that life will keep getting better. Income will go up, houses will increase in value, new technologies will make life better for all, even if in the short run some of us have to retrain. To be sure, there will be difficult times, but problems will be solved, either through government or business. OECD nations will remain fair societies, which take care of their most vulnerable members. This incremental view of the future is challenged by some who say we are coming into a post-industrial post-modern, knowledge economy. Indeed, this is a time of many posts, meaning that the new era is being created, its outlines not yet clear, the institutional arrangements (what will government look like, who will watch over whom) still being sorted out. Deeper changes But perhaps the transformation is even deeper, challenging not just industrialism, but the entire rise of capitalism and of Western civilization, the Colombian era. Nano-technologies and artificial intelligence might make production on a scale never before possible. Of course, these technologies are not yet on-line but we are seeing hints of a society that challenges the idea that poverty will always be with us (well at least because of technological reasons). Smarter markets will soon be possible. Here all products can be bar-coded with complete pricing details (how much the Indonesian worker was paid, how many trees were cut down, how much the middle-man made), allowing consumers to vote with their dollars. Standards will not just be the products physical quality (what it looks like, is it safe and safely made) but also its functional quality (how well it does what it claims to do) and its ethical quality. In this way, the Internet could level the inequalities of capitalism, creating a giant peoples market. Capitalism could also transform through anotherglobaldepression, once the speculative bubble of the financial markets bursts. Multiculturalism will also play an important role, perhaps shattering any notion of one culture, one state, one knowledge system, one view of science. How will nations organize this gaia of civilizations; this ecology of different world-views? The nation-state as the sole holder of power has entered a terminal process (even if the passport office retains its power to deport). Whether it will take 50 years or a hundred, we know well that revolutions from below (non-governmental organizations), revolutions from above (international institutions), revolutions from capital (globalism), revolutions of culture (new ways of seeing self and other, of boundaries) and revolutions of technology (air travel, the Net) all make the nation-state deeply problematic. Of course, the Milosevics, the brahmins and mullahs wont disappear. With no place to hold onto, they will fight until the bitter end, hoping that enough of us will retain our patriotism (and be willing to kill for it). They will hope to transform the quite legitimate concerns of individuals fearing change, corporate control, foreigners and loss of jobs into a politics of exclusion, of attacking the other. Governance What world might result from these historical revolutions in governance? There is a range of possibilities. One alternative is that one religious system dominates, creating a world church, temple or mosque. A second option is that one nation dominates, creating a world empire. The former is unlikely, as reality has become too fragmented. Neither Christians nor Muslims (or Buddhists) are likely to convert en masse tomorrow, even if Jesus, the Madhi, or Amida Buddha return. The problem of recognizing God is not likely to be solved in the year 2000, even if the Redeemer does return. The second option, world empire, is difficult given the democratic impulse. The only nation currently vying for the job is caught by its own democratic language. Disney and Microsoft are more likely victors than the US State Department, despite what conspiracy theorists in Belgrade, Baghdad, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur believe. But can the world capitalist economythe third alternativedefine identity? It has flourished because the economy has been global, expanding, while identity has been national, fixed, as has politics. With the nation in deep trouble, can a world economy with national politics continue? Localist movementsthe fourth

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- from abolish-l: = If you don't think about cinema just hit the delete key. Steffi Dear friends, the "American Beauty" got a lot of oscars - I don't know if the film had earned them - I (as a German) enjoyed the film very much but it has a lot to do with the death penalty. I sat at the end in my chair in the cinema and wondered who would get the death penalty: Let me give a short summary - The man told the last 10 months of his life. He spoke about his pseudo perfect home, his wife, who refused to make love with him at the 4000 $ sofa - there could come "dirt" on this perfect thing ... His teenager daughter refused to speak with him ... his chief at work told him he's not efficient enough - and than he started to throw away his perfect home - he started to jog again, he threw he's work away by telling his chief what he really is - ... - and he got a lot of money from the chief because he knew that the chief spent a lot of his work time in a whorehouse ... he started to work by selling pommes in Mr. Smiley's - the best was that they sold the pommes with smiley ketchup - he started to smoke grass and so on, but he developed himself a lot - he learned to talk with the people, he had fun ... his wife, too, she found a new lover, but unfortunately they both decided to buy pommes at Mr. Smiley's ... and after that nice meeting - the lover decided his love was gone ... the poor wife sat in her car and listened to a cassette on which somebody told her what she should do to be never a victim.

Fiske Planetarium, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA Web site URL: http://www.colorado.edu/fiske/ Admission will be $4.00 for adult $3.00 for Senior Citizens or Children. Tickets go on sale at 7:00 PM on the night of the show. Are we alone in the universe, and if not can we say anything about what alien life-forms might be like? Philosophers and scientists have attempted to address these questions for centuries, using the tools and conceptual frameworks of their day. A new surge of interest in Astrobiology - the scientific study of life in the universe - has been spurred by several promising recent discoveries which encourage hope for widespread life in the universe. From "War of the Worlds" to "Star Trek", the ideas of science fiction writers have often mirrored and occasionally inspired "serious" scientific speculation about alien life. Even a discussion of the blunders of Hollywood screenwriters, who often completely ignore obvious science and common sense, can be instructive for guiding our thoughts about extraterrestrial life. We'll sample images of aliens from science fiction books and movies and see how these compare to the changing ideas of scientists involved in astrobiology and SETI (The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). This look at our evolving ideas about aliens provides a window on the history of human conceptions about the universe and our role within it. -- Terry W.

[CTRL] ECTV: NASA Late To Report New CME
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- NASA Late To Report New CME...03/30/00 by Mitch Battros (ECTV) I guess you could say better late than never. I would also like to think it may have been motivated by my earlier post. This same timing occurred last month on a similar event. Who knows, we're all just kind of guessing. A "halo" type CME occurred yesterday at approximently 06:36 UTC. Could this have been the cause of the many reports of disturbance with cell and land base phones, televisions, satellites, radios, and computers? My guess is a resounding YES! Here is a very helpful link that seems to be independent of NASA: Site: http://www.dxlc.com/solar/ Also, NASA in a late report called for a "aurora watch" then later canceled. See below Flares and CMEs Report *A total of 5 C flares were recorded on March 29. Region 8936 produced a C4.4 flare at 18:47 UTC. *A full halo coronal mass ejection with a backside origin was observed after 11h UTC in LASCO movies. *The background x-ray flux is at the class C1 level. Aurora Watch Cancelled: Conditions for high-latitude aurora were favorable during the midnight hours of March 29-30 (Universal Time). For more than 5 hours on March 29 the interplanetary magnetic field in Earth's vicinity developed a southward component, creating a weak point in Earth's magnetospheric defenses against the solar wind. Also on March 29 the solar wind velocity rose from 300 km/s to more than 600 km/s. These factors combined to trigger high levels of geomagnetic activity. However, the interplanetary magnetic field has turned northward again and NOAA space environment satellites show that auroral activity is declining. Solar Spotlight: On March 29, 2000, the orbiting SOHO spacecraft recorded a "full-halo" coronal mass ejection (CME). Full-halo CMEs are massive bubbles of hot gas that travel either directly toward or away from Earth. As the eruption expands it appears to completely envelope the Sun like a halo. When CMEs hit Earth's magnetosphere they sometimes trigger spectacular aurora. Today's CME exploded on the back side of the Sun -- it is not headed for our planet.

[CTRL] ECTV: Japan's Mount Usu Erupts-Solar Flares?
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- *First we have large tornadoes in Texas. Now Volcanic eruptions. Could this be related to solar flares??? Watch for extreme events to occur over the next three days. Mitch Battros Japan's Mount Usu Erupts...03/30/00 By Kaori Hitomi, Associated Press Date, Japan - Hot rock rained down and a column of ash and smoke rose over the snowy countryside as the Mount Usu volcano erupted Friday on Japan's northernmost main island. There were no immediate reports of injury. Experts monitoring seismic activity had predicted the eruption, and had already evacuated more than 11,000 residents from homes at its base. Roughly 51,000 people live in this town and two others near the 2,416-foot mountain, 475 miles north of Tokyo. The eruption came just hours after roads began cracking from growing fissures on the flanks of the snow-capped mountain, early signs of the magma swelling below the earth. Experts had warned residents that a major eruption could come at any time. The magnitude of this eruption wasn't immediately clear. The appearance of fissures was seen as particularly ominous. The meteorological agency issued an emergency warning earlier Friday to announce that cracks on the mountain are increasing in number and growing in length, splitting roads in some cases. Intense earthquake activity went into a fourth day Friday. Thousands of quakes have been registered around the montain.. On Thursday, observers aboard a military helicopter found that magma had pushed open cracks on the volcano's western slope and near its base Thursday. One fissure on the western slope stretched 100 yards. Worried that an eruption would melt the snow on the volcano's flanks and cause mudslides, authorities ordered the evacuation of 4,137 homes in this town at the volcano's base and two others - Sobetsu and Abuta. Together, the towns have a population of 51,300. Sanitation was becoming a problem as residents taken to shelters were unable to take baths, and everyday necessities were running low, said Yoshio Nagasaki, mayor of Abuta. "The longer the duration of the wait, the harder it becomes," he said. The area is known for a scenic lake and hot spring resorts, but hotel owners began turning tourists away Wednesday. Residential areas near the volcano were deserted except for police cars blocking the roads, town officials checking for stragglers and abandoned dogs scampering about the streets. In Tokyo, an emergency task force was set up at Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi's residence. Some 3,000 army troops in Hokkaido were on standby. Japan is one of the world's most eruption-prone countries, with 86 active volcanoes, according to Japan's meteorological agency. The agency describes an active volcano as one that has erupted at least once over the last 2,000 years. Mount Usu last erupted in 1977 and mudslides caused by eruptions that continued into the following year left two people dead and destroyed nearly 200 homes. Experts said earlier that an eruption of Usu would probably be similar to Mount Unzen in southern Japan in 1991, when several eruptions sent avalanches of hot rocks sweeping down, killing 43 people and leaving nearly 2,300 homeless. _ Equation: Sunspots = Solar Flares = Magnetic Shift = Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents = Extreme Weather Come and visit our "Extreme Weather" message board and share your experience or reports of extreme weather phenomena in your area.

[CTRL] Russian Environmental Digest (REDfiles) vol 2 no. 11
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Russian Environmental Digest (REDfiles) is a compilation of the week's major English-language press on environmental issues in Russia. 13 - 19 March 2000, Vol. 2, No. 11 1.

Nuclear Waste: Russia Plans to Store Others' Spent Fuel £ 1 Greenpeace Protests Proposed Route of the Baltic Pipeline System The St. Petersburg Times, March 17, 2000 Local Greenpeace supporters are warning that the long-awaited Baltic Pipeline System, which is planned to pass north of St. Petersburg on its way to the Gulf of Finland, will destroy an already ecologically sensitive region and threaten the water supplies of the city if its course is not changed. Greenpeace, whose local activists held a protest in front of the headquarters of the federal government's St. Petersburg offices on Tuesday, believes that an alternate route for the pipeline, or BPS, should be chosen so that the fragile ecosystem of the Karelian isthmus is not turned into an industrial zone, and so that local rivers and forests are not endangered in the pipeline's construction and use. The 2,400-kilometer BPS is set to run between St. Petersburg and Lake Ladoga on its way north, passing underneath the Neva, Volkhov, Mga and Chyornaya rivers on its way to Primorsk, 150 kilometers from the city. A port is due to be constructed there beginning in April, officials from the Leningrad Oblast administration said Thursday, Interfax reported. The start of construction of the BPS, which had been slated for the end of March or early April, will be announced within a week, said Fuel and Energy Minister Viktor Kalyuzhny on Tuesday. The pipeline will give Russian oil direct access to the Baltic Sea for the first time since the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, keeping inside Russia revenues currently paid to foreign ports. But Greenpeace says that the location of Primorsk was a bad choice because of high winds, winter ice, a jagged coastline and shallow waters, making it difficult for tankers to navigate safely. "We're not against the project as a whole - we understand that for economic reasons Russia needs to export its oil and gas through Russia and not the Baltics," said Oganes Targulian, a member of Greenpeace's Moscow office. "What we're against is that the pipeline will be built close to local water supplies, directly endangering the city in the event of an accident. But Greenpeace may be too late to affect the pipeline's construction. St. Petersburg officials deny that the project will be harmful to the environment, citing their own ecological study attesting to its feasibility, and questioning the late involvement of Greenpeace in an approval process that has already lasted three years. "Any project will always have an environmental impact, regardless of what it is," said Sergei Ermolov, deputy head of the State Environmental Committee of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Oblast. "If Greenpeace doesn't like the pipeline, it should have gotten involved a long time ago and come to our monthly meetings when we started discussing it." Greenpeace maintains, however, that the government has been particularly close-fisted in the last year with information about the project, and has been trying to ram the BPS through its last stages without public consent so as to avoid any outcry against the plan. "Whenever we ask people what they think about the pipeline, the majority of them answer that they know absolutely nothing about it. Then when we explain it to them, they usually are astonished that something so environmentally dangerous will be built," said Dmitry Artamonov, chairman of the St. Petersburg Society of Greenpeace Supporters, an independent group separate from Greenpeace international. He also pointed out that officials have ignored the State Environmental Protection Committee's 1999 impact study of the pipeline, in which it recommended that alternative routes for the pipeline be found. But local officials pointed out that the route chosen for the pipeline was the best and most environmentally sound, according to their studies. "The Leningrad Oceanic Research Institute studied the plan for several years and concluded that Primorsk was the most convenient for use as a port," said Sergei Gorbunev head of the City Sanitary Control and Expertise Department, or Sanepidnadzor. Construction of the BPS has been mired in difficulty since 1997 when the initial decision to build it was made. The government only gave its official go-ahead in mid-February this year.

If so, what is it? FWP Jeez Poley you're soo fu*king easy. On Mon, 27 Mar 2000, Teacher of YHVH wrote: ANTI-CHRIST JEWS There are a lot of Christians who are so "wishy washy" they are afraid of their shadow. They don't believe Christians should be militant for their faith. They can't or won't understand the meaning of Hebrews 12:4, where it says: "Ye have not resisted unto death, striving against sin." (That word "sin means "unrighteousness.") They turn their backs on the fact that God declares we are His Battleaxe.(Jeremiah 51:20). It is the Christians duty to take a stand against evil, not to support and coddle it! Right, history is replete with examples of Christian stands against evil. Like cannonizing Pius XII for his couragous stand. The Jewish Question has been in America for a long time. Our Founding Fathers recognized it and there was heavy debate about whether they would allow Jews to come to this country. Benjamin Franklin, speaking before the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, 1778 said: "There is a great menace in the United States today and that great menace, gentlemen, is the Jew. In whatever country Jews have settled in great numbers, they have lowered its moral tone, depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated, have sneered at the Christian religion upon which this nation was founded. Frankilin was a Deist moron. Putting these words into his mouth is about as authentic as you are. The only Jew Franklin knew was funding the American Revolution. His name was Haym Soloman. They have built up a state within a State and have, when opposed, tried to strangle that country to death financially. "If you do not exclude them from the United States in the Constitution, in less that 200 years they will have swarmed in, in such numbers that they will dominate and devour the land and change our form of government. How did he know it would be 200 years and not 100 or 150 or three hundred? I guess Franklin had the spirit and could prophesy. "If you do not exclude them, in less that 200 years, our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish substance, while they will be in the counting houses, rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jew for all time, your children will curse you in your graves. Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatic; they will never be otherwise." (UNQ) I'm actually European. This stuff works on morons Poley, but it's a known and obvious fraud. He was mighty accurate in this prediction. In 1987, the 200 years will be up. They have already changed our government and are well on their way to controlling it. Hot damn!!! That Franklin is good. Pinpoint prophesy. For many years, the original of this statement was found in the Pinckney Papers at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. (Scores of affidavits attest to this.) But just as in any other document, which shows them as they really are, the Jews have cried: "Fake!" When the heat got too much, so great was Jewish power, that these papers were removed, just as Martin Luther's statement were taken out of the Lutheran Church. There is evidence that the Pinckney Papers were removed from the Franklin Institute under instructions from the Jewish Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who served under both Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman. How convenient. The Jews stole the evidence. This Jewish problem must be discussed openly and frankly by both Christians and Jews, if there is to be an answer other than violence. Since it touches the lives of millions of people in this country, they have the right to know the truth. Possibly some of you are thinking: "Why get involved with such a controversial subject?" My answer to this must be to go back to history and say that the Jewish question has been raised in every country where Jews have settled in any number. All that is necessary to confirm this is to look at history. Jews have been persecuted, not because they are God's people and Satan hates them, as some fundamental preachers would have you believe, but because they are as the Apostle Paul said in I Thessalonians 2:15 - "...they please not God, and are CONTRARY TO ALL MEN." (Emphasis added.) ...am not. Mr. Ford said:

[CTRL] Shipment of armored personnel carriers to China nabbed in Hong Kong (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- STRATFOR.COM's Global Intelligence Update - 31 March 2000 __ Today, Stratfor.com examines an unusual episode: the seizure of Soviet-era armored personnel carriers in the port of Hong Kong. If you have any light to shed on this incident, Stratfor.com invites you to talk with us, merely by clicking on this link. http://www.stratfor.com/feedback.asp __ STRATFOR.COM Global Intelligence Update 31 March 2000 Hong Kong Seizes Armored Vehicles Bound for China SUMMARY Hong Kong customs officials announced on March 30 the seizure of five Soviet-era BTR-70 armored personnel carriers (APC) being smuggled onto the mainland. The armored vehicles were discovered on board a ship sailing from Naples, Italy to Tianjin, with stops in Haifa, Israel and Singapore. There are several intriguing aspects to the attempted smuggling and seizure of the vehicles. Though the exact purpose remains unclear, Stratfor.com found that the ship's operator is in fact a Beijing shipping company with close links to the People's Liberation Army. ANALYSIS Hong Kong customs officials announced on March 30 the seizure of five Soviet-era BTR-70 armored personnel carriers, allegedly bound for Tianjin municipality, which borders the municipality of Beijing. The armored vehicles were impounded, as they did not have the proper import license for strategic commodities, according to news reports. While on the surface it appears to be a simple case of Hong Kong blocking the illegal transshipment of military hardware, several aspects of the incident present intriguing possibilities. While the details remain unclear, the seizure is obviously significant. At the extreme, it could signal preparations for an attempted rebellion against Beijing, or a move by Hong Kong to assert its autonomy from Beijing. It could also represent a failed attempt at secret arms transfers through Italy to North Korea, a simple crackdown on an already controversial shipping company or a move by local Tianjin or Shanghai businesses to create their own private security forces. According to Hong Kong reports, the BTR-70s arrived in Hong Kong at 8 p.m. local time March 29 on board the Xibohe, a Panamanian- registered container vessel. The armored vehicles, reportedly sold by a Ukranian company to a mainland Chinese firm, sailed on board the Xibohe from Naples, Italy on March 10. The ship stopped in Haifa, Israel and Singapore before arriving in Hong Kong. The ship was apparently to travel from Hong Kong to Xingang, Tianjin and then to Shanghai. Customs agents found the BTR-70s when one was discovered already unloaded from the ship at 2 a.m. on March 30; the other four remained in plain sight on the deck. None of the armored vehicles were equipped with weapons, and no other military equipment was found on board the Xibohe, according to reports. This is not the first case of Hong Kong seizing an armored personnel carrier being shipped through its port facilities. In August 1997, just a month after Hong Kong was reunited with mainland China, Hong Kong authorities impounded a Chinese-made WZ551 armored personnel carrier that had been on display in Thailand. The manufacturer, North China Industries (Norinco), had attempted to ship it through Hong Kong to its factory in China's southern Guangdong Province without the proper papers. In February 1999, Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-Hwa denied the company's requests for the return of the APC. The most recent incident comes less than a month after U.S. Undersecretary of State for East Asian Affairs Stanley Roth met with Tung in part to discuss efforts to end arms smuggling through Hong Kong. Following the announcement of the seizure of the five armored personnel carriers, a spokesman for the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department told reporters, "The discovery...proves that Hong Kong is totally committed to the implementation of an effective and comprehensive strategic controls." While Hong Kong is portraying the seizure of the BTR-70s as a demonstration that it will not allow any form of smuggling, particularly arms shipments, there remain two important questions: who was importing the BTR-70s, and why? Ronald Au Yee-Leung, head of Hong Kong Customs Ship Search and Cargo Command, refused to identify to the press the operator of the Xibohe, telling the Hong Kong Standard only that it was "a well-established company ... not known to be involved in military transportation." In an interview with Reuters, he again refused to name the shipping company. Upon investigation by Stratfor.com, however, the ship's operator was found to be COSCO Container Line Agencies Limited, a Hong Kong branch of China Ocean Shipping (COSCO). COSCO is in fact a Beijing shipping company with close links to the People's Liberation Army (PLA). While Au refused to name the operator of the Xibohe, he did nothing
[CTRL] Elian due for psychological retooling in Cuba (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Published Friday, March 31, 2000, in the Miami Herald By MARTA MOLINA Depression and trauma await Elian in Cuba The following are edited excerpts from an affidavit by Dr. Marta Molina, a psychologist who worked in Palmira, Cuba, for 20 years. It was filed in Elian Gonzalez's federal case. I arrived to the United States in 1999 after soliciting political asylum at the Cuban Interests Section in Cuba. During my tenure as a psychologist at the Policlinico Docente de Palmira, I counseled and treated hundreds of patients with psychological problems that were directly related to, or affected by, the mandates of the Cuban government. Many of my patients had emotionally traumatic experiences as a result of their resistance to the communist-ideology indoctrination. My superiors routinely advised me that any problems involving resistance to the communist ideology should be treated in such a manner as to support the regime, regardless of the effect on the patient. I did not adhere to this policy and whenever possible counseled clients based upon recognized psychological methods. Thus my superiors severely criticized me and kept me under constant scrutiny. I saw more than 500 children under the age of 16 who had serious psychological problems as a result of their own disagreement with, or their parents' refusal to indoctrinate the children in, the communist ideology. These children's thinking was repressed, and statements contrary to such ideology led to serious discipline. The form of discipline used by teachers and other authority figures was that the children were silenced and reprimanded for im- proper comments or behavior. This, in most cases, led the children to regress and become inhibited, doubting their own freedom of thought. As a direct result of disciplining and the lack of proper counseling outside the mandates of the government, the children often became depressed and underachievers. Children who did not follow the communist ideology or had acted in- appropriately toward the Cuban regime routinely were denied permission to attend college or any other education institution past the 12th grade. Based upon my knowledge of the indoctrination policies and the psychological counseling practices in Cuba, my professional opinion is that if 6-year-old Elian Gonzalez is forced to return to Cuba: He immediately will be taken into seclusion to reindoctrinate him in the ways of the communist ideology. A blue bandanna will be placed around his neck, and he will be ordered to swear allegiance to los Pioneros, the youth group to which all children age 6 and above are required to attend and undergo formal indoctrination. He will be ordered to swear this allegiance: ``Pioneers for communism, we will be like Che.'' He will be counseled as to the sights and occurrences that he witnessed in the United States, and he will be told that he cannot recount to any person, whether a minor or an adult, the things that he saw. He will be indoctrinated to believe that in the United States he was very unhappy and that the things he saw and did were not real and were, in essence, a scheme to confuse him. In school and other activities, he will be assigned a monitor (a teacher or other authority figure) who will be by his side at all times to control his statements and to correct him if he falls out of sync with the communist ideology. If he does not cooperate, he again will be secluded until further indoctrination erases all memories of his stay in the United States. He will be told that his mother was a traitor, commonly referred to as a gusano (a worm), because she left Cuba illegally, and he will be forced to repudiate her memory as a traitor to the regime. As with all of the other children whom I treated in Cuba -- and because Elian has been exposed to the United States's way of life for such a long period of time -- the indoctrination and silencing of his thoughts and memories of the United States will lead to depression and psychological confusion. This in turn will result in severe psychological trauma, which will never be properly dealt with, due to the instructions given to psychologists in Cuba. = 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] Clinton, Castro, Elian, etc. (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- From NewsMax: Friday March 31, 2000; 1:37 PM EST Elian May be a Pawn in Clinton-Castro Deal: Anchorman Greg Craig, the high-priced Washington lawyer who came to national attention defending President Clinton against Sexgate impeachment charges last year, is now representing Juan Gonzales, the father of six-year-old Cuban raft boy Elian Gonzales. Some smell a rat, wondering if Clinton himself pulled some strings to arrange for his pricey attorney to jump into the fray -- on the side of Communist despot Fidel Castro, no less -- who demands that the boy be returned to his dad. Previously Clinton had taken an arms length approach in the Gonzales dispute, assigning his Justice Department and Immigration Bureau to the job of wresting the boy from his Miami relatives. But the sudden appearance of Clinton's personal impeachment attorney suggests more direct presidential involvement and raises a few questions. Who's paying for Mr. Craig's services, for instance? (Certainly not the impoverished Mr. Gonzales.) Fox News Sunday anchorman Tony Snow says Castro himself is likely picking up the tab -- and speculates that Craig's involvement is part of an overall deal with the Cuban tyrant to help burnish Bill Clinton's legacy. Filling in for talk radio's Rush Limbaugh on Friday, Snow theorized that Clinton supports Elian's return because the boy's presence in America has thrown a monkey wrench into the plan: "Remember when Nixon went to China," Snow told a caller. "Maybe Clinton is thinking, 'You know what I need to do? I think maybe it's time to do outreach to Cuba.'" Snow observed that a spate of pro-Cuba stories appeared in the press last year, suggesting that they may have been part of a White House plan to rehabilliate Castro's image -- thereby setting the stage for a diplomatic breakthrough, perhaps even normalization of relations. "All of a sudden along comes this kid, six year-old Elian Gonzales, floating around on a makeshift boat off Ft. Lauderdale and everything goes kerflooey," Snow said. "So it falls apart and the President says, 'Oh man, legacy; the legacy's going away. We've got to do something to get this problem out of the way. We got to get this kid back to Cuba -- so I can get my ambitions back on track.'" That explains Greg Craig's involvement, said the Fox News anchorman: "Maybe somebody just gets in touch with somebody at the Cuban interest section here in Washington and says, 'We know you got some problems. We're trying to work out these things. Maybe you ought to call (Greg Craig). Maybe your government ought to pay for it.'" Friday March 31, 2000 11:13 AM EST NBC: Won't Reveal Castro's Dirty Little Deeds Inside Cover has mentioned several times that the major press just won't detail what a monster Castro is. Last night we thought, finally, NBC was about to do that, doing a comparison story between life for a young boy like Elian here in the United States and a boy the same age in communist Cuba. Tom Brokaw introduced the segment and Jim Avila reported. NBC did report that at age 7 children lose their milk ration. They get beef or chicken just once a month -- a food source adults do without. Still, no mention of children being taken -- forcibly -- into the sugar fields to work on Fidel's plantation. No mention of Castro's massive abuse of rights -- imprisonment of political and religious dissidents -- even journalists. It's all OK, NBC'Avila tells us, because, quoting a Cuban mother, "Material possessions don't mean anything without love." Surely Uncle Fidel has much love for his plantation workers. Avila did a fine job detailing how little money Cubans make -- something like $10 a month -- but then spent most of his program explaining just how cheap it is to live in Cuba. Bread is only a cent a loaf! But there were good things about Cuba. Avila reports that Cuba's educational system is the "envy of Latin America." No wonder everyone is trying to send their kids to boarding school there! There are so many applicants seeking to go to Cuban schools -- no doubt -- students who don't get into Castro's Academy go to Vietnam for prep school. Of course, we are joking, but it is sad when a major American news network shamelessly does Castro's public relations. Avila ended his segment that in Cuba "life is hard, but not impossible." A fairer assessment might have been "Life is dismal and unfree. Is this any place to send a young 6-year-old?" = 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.
[CTRL] NYP: ANOTHER CRIME FROM AMERICA'S TOP OFFICER (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- From: New York Post-March 31, 2000 ANOTHER CRIME FROM AMERICA'S TOP LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICER By JOHN PODHORETZ IF there were one simple idea that saved Bill Clinton from being expelled from office, it was the one he expressed in his angry speech on Aug.17, 1998, after testifying before Kenneth Starr's grand jury: The Lewinsky matter "is nobody's business but ours. Even presidents have private lives. It is time to stop the pursuit of personal destruction and the prying into private lives." On Wednesday, in a Washington courtroom, President Clinton was found guilty of violating the private life of somebody else -- an act he committed as part of his role in the "politics of personal destruction" that so offended him when he felt himself its target. What the president and the White House did was release private correspondence sent to him by Kathleen Willey, the woman who had gone on "60 Minutes" to say the president had groped her in the Oval Office in 1993. The letters were sent after the alleged incident, a period during which Willey was recovering from the suicide of her husband and was in desperate financial straits. In one of them, she referred to herself as "your number-one fan." Their release went a long way to killing the effect of the Willey story, which had shocked the nation upon its broadcast in March 1998. It was a brilliant political move, but now U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth has said in no uncertain terms that it was illegal. "The release of the Willey letters was a criminal violation of the Privacy Act," Lamberth said. Perhaps it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: This man Bill Clinton is the chief law-enforcement officer of the United States. So now, a year after Judge Susan Webber Wright fined Clinton $90,000 for perjuring himself in the civil depositions to which he swore in the Paula Jones sexual-harassment suit -- a finding that will almost certainly lead to the disbarment in the state of Arkansas of the chief law-enforcement officer of the United States -- another judge has determined that he is guilty of a misdemeanor violation of federal law. The White House, of course, insists it did nothing wrong -- because it never does anything wrong, in case you haven't noticed. These are the same legal eagles who told Al Gore that the Pendleton Act of 1883 had "no controlling legal authority" over him (possibly because they believe the vice president is actually SuperLiar, a strange visitor from another planet with powers and abilities to elude truth, justice and the American way far beyond those of mortal men). Now these folks insist that the Privacy Act doesn't apply to the White House either. This is novel thinking. It is true that the Constitution features a separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches, but the laws that govern the nation govern the White House and its personnel as well -- that's why they're signed into law by the president. The only way the Privacy Act doesn't apply to the White House is if every piece of legislation passed by Congress and signed by the president simply doesn't apply to the White House. That would, of course, be just fine with the Clinton White House, which believes it has unlimited power to slander, vilify, use private detectives and lie without consequence. Clearly, Bill Clinton believes himself beyond the law; he practically said as much in response to the Lamberth ruling. Releasing the Willey letters "was the only way I knew to refute allegations that were made against me that were untrue. And I think they plainly did that. And I would not have done it otherwise." Well, why wouldn't he have done it otherwise? He wouldn't have done it otherwise because it was illegal, and he knew it was illegal -- but he just didn't care. And now the Clinton White House is going to run out the clock. The Supreme Court will, almost certainly, declare that, yes, the Privacy Act covers the White House. But that won't happen until Bill Clinton is off groping somebody else. And by then he'll just be a disbarred ex-president -- you know, just-plain-folks scum.

[CTRL] Movie review: The Skulls
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Well, I saw this movie today, and was ready to expect either of two scenarios. One was that they would paint the idea of secret societies as SO powerful and SO insidious that you simply could NOT believe they could be real and exert the power they do. The other was a total whitewashing in the other direction whereby they really don't have the power people think they do. It was more the former than the latter. The movie was, of course, based upon the Skull and Bones, as you all know. The allusions were obvious and everywhere. There was even some mention of other secret societies, also with changed names, to protect the innocent no doubt. I found very interesting the connections that were put forward. The inherent nature of the thing, and that it was a life long obligation, were also interesting tidbits. There was a subplot in the movie which was also of note (which I shall not talk about so as not to ruin it for those who want to see it). The subplot has a bearing on things we discuss here daily and on plotics in general. Overall I'd say the movie was pretty entertaining, and was not over the top, at least not too much. I feel that people seeing this movie might be moved to accept that such societies exist and that they are powerful and capable of much. It should hopefully shed some light where there is nothing but darkness and secrecy, and that can't be a bad thing in the end. "Welcome to the desert of the real."

[CTRL] Fw: NATO CELEBRATES HITLER
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Author: Spasoje Vlajic,B.SC in Physics SUBJECT: NATO CELEBRATES HITLER Why did the actions against the Serbs, especially those taken by NATO, coincide with important dates of Hitler's life How did the English betray Churchull, and the Americans Roosevelt The evidence is increasingly clear that the currents having Hitler as a special model in the campaign of conquering the world prevailed in the West. As a confirmation of this assumption we will cite some of the impressive examples of manipulation with his ideas and name. The point is as follow: Important events directed against the Serbs recurred according to a plan precisely on the dates important for Hitler's cult of war and blood. Here are just a few cases from a multitude of these examples, recorded in the files of the Group 69. Under German pressure, European Union recognized BiH as an independent country on April 6 1992. On the same day(1941) Hitler began the attack on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by bombing Belgrade. Germans began their first military actions after the World War Two by an air raid on Serbs, on September 1 1995. The paradox is in that being a socalled antiwar day, marking the date from 1939, when Hitler began, by attacking Poland, the bloodiest conflict in history The World War Two... We expect that the examples we cite in the following text stir the publics in the West too. However, they will probably be even more upset by the reasonable and clear messages having began to arrive also from that another supersensory and spiritual side of reality. Those signs and portents show evidently who moves the hidden hand that supports and does the evil in the world. The Cult of Hitler The dark coincidences of the dates we spoke about reach eloquently their black climax right on the most important days in Hitler's life. The things are as follows: The attack on Republic of Srpska Krajina (western Slavonia) began on April 30 1995. On the same day, on April 30 1945 (the Witch Day), Hitler committed suicide. The results of the imposed elections in the eastern Slavonia and Croat victory in Vukovar were announced by the administrator Klein on April 19 1997, right on the eve of Hitler's birthday (on April 20). So the Rebublic of Srpska Krajina ceased to exist. It was bitten into tapped by the occupation of the Western Slavonia, and finished by the disappearance of the eastern Slavonia. So the solution of the Serbian question began in the night of Hitler's death,(the Witch Night), and ended on the eve of Hitler's birthday (on Lazar's Saturday). Like a mystical message from the higher levels, that thrilling way of Hitler's reviving went in a unnatural, reverse sequence from the night of his death to the date of his birth. With all the thisside and thatside consequences, Which are still to be manifested according to the heavenly justice, one thing is certain: the West has solved the question of the state of Srpska Krajina under the black cloak of the greatest Antichrist the world saw so far Hitler! But, this is just a beginning of the breathtaking surprises. After Krajina, the venomous sting proceeded to reach Kosmet. And it happens that one of the cruelest frauds ever is taking place, but also a final disguising of that unclean mind that stands behind the mundane crimes. To the glory of Fhrer On the same day when the official end of the Srpska Krajina was publicly announced, April 19 1997, Lazar's Saturday, the question of Kosovo was raised on an international meeting in Wiena. And this is the already known day on the eve of Hitler's birth. I was on the eve of the Witch Night and anniversary of Hitler's death, on April 29 1998, that a decision was made in Roma, regarding Kosovo, about new introduction of the sanctions against the Serbs. The sanctions began to be applied on May 9 1998, the day of victory over fascism. And now comes a climax of the black mass the West and NATO celebrated to the glory of Antichrist Hitler. On the March 24 1999, the western politicians began the war against the Serbs because of Kosmet, and so began publicly the Third World War and the First World AntiChristian War. The secret of this date, its connection with the cult of Hitler and obsession by the mark of the beast is revealed by Winston Churchill(1) in his memoirs (Vol. I). Look carefully at this beyondtime proof that in addition to the tangible plans and planners, the influences from the spiritual world also copy themselves onto the earth. On the page 66 Churchill writes: On March 24, whether Hitler's opponents had been overcome or frightened, the Reichstag voted with 441 to 94 voices an absolute and full fouryear power to chancellor Hitler. This means, Hitler came to power on March 24 1933, and on March 24 1999 NATO began its first war, and that against the Serbs because of Kosovo. After years Klinton's politics marked that date in an impressive manner. Do the French, British, American and other
Re: [CTRL] [LIFE-GAZETTE] Re: ANTI-CHRIST JEWS (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- re your last point as to who might be the REAL Israelites? Well, that depends on which group of Jews is allowed to excommunicate the other. Paul/Saul continued to call himself the "Jew of Tarsus". After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ there was an immediate schism among the Jews. Some were Pro-Christ and some were Anti-Christ. Jesus Christ, Himself allowed no middle ground, saying, "You are for me or against me". You have posted yourself, J2, that this differentiation of Pro-Christ and Anti-Christ Jews is valid and that it is Anti-Christ Jews who dominate Israel etc. So I didn't make this up or infer it. You agree that Anti-Christ Jews is a self-description of a segment of the "global village". I guess it is pretty obvious. I mean just ask Barak et al if they are Pro-Christ or Anti-Christ Jews and what will they say? Over time, the Pro-Christ Jews stopped calling themselves Jews. By analogy few Englishmen today call themselves Anglo-Saxon. The phrase evolves into disuse. But the Pro-Christ vs. Anti-Christ Jews issue resurfaces (history repeats itself) with "Jews for Jesus" and similar converts who say they are 100% Jewish still and 100% Christian. Which side do the Grahams, Falwells, Robertsons and Van Imps weigh in on mindful that Jesus Christ Himself disallowed fence sitting? I think it is becoming ever more clear that these are supporters, not only of Anti-Christ Jews but THE Anti-Christ because they have willingness to spell out the culture x (society/nation/civilization) which does "all for the glory of God".

They don't believe Christians should be militant for their faith. They can't or won't understand the meaning of Hebrews 12:4, where it says: "Ye have not resisted unto death, striving against sin." (That word "sin means "unrighteousness.") They turn their backs on the fact that God declares we are His Battleaxe.(Jeremiah 51:20). It is the Christians duty to take a stand against evil, not to support and coddle it! Right, history is replete with examples of Christian stands against evil. Like cannonizing Pius XII for his couragous stand. The Jewish Question has been in America for a long time. Our Founding Fathers recognized it and there was heavy debate about whether they would allow Jews to come to this country. Benjamin Franklin, speaking before the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, 1778 said: "There is a great menace in the United States today and that great menace, gentlemen, is the Jew. In whatever country Jews have settled in great numbers, they have lowered its moral tone, depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated, have sneered at the Christian religion upon which this nation was founded. Frankilin was a Deist moron. Putting these words into his mouth is about as authentic as you are. The only Jew Franklin knew was funding the American Revolution. His name was Haym Soloman. They have built up a state within a State and have, when opposed, tried to strangle that country to death financially. "If you do not exclude them from the United States in the Constitution, in less that 200 years they will have swarmed in, in such numbers that they will dominate and devour the land and change our form of government. How did he know it would be 200 years and not 100 or 150 or three hundred? I guess Franklin had the spirit and could prophesy. "If you do not exclude them, in less that 200 years, our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish substance, while they will be in the counting houses, rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jew for all time, your children will curse you in your graves. Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatic; they will never be otherwise."

[CTRL] Master of Deceit: Media-cratising Kosovo
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- From antiwar.com {{Begin}} Behind the Headlines by Justin Raimondo Antiwar.com March 31, 2000 MASTERS OF DECEIT: KOSOVO AND THE MEDIA The media told us that a reenactment of the Holocaust was going on in Kosovo, with the Serbs in the role of the Nazis and the Kosovar Albanians standing in for the Jews and that was a lie. For it turned out that approximately 2,108 persons from both sides were killed in the pre-bombing phase of the Kosovo conflict approximately the number of Serbs who have been kidnapped and killed since the "liberation" of Kosovo. The media told us that the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was the Albanian equivalent of George Washington and the Founding Fathers, who were waging a righteous war against their Serb oppressors and that, too, was a lie. Now even American reporters during the war willing instruments played expertly by NATO are forced to report the truth: that the KLA is now engaged in "cleansing" the last Serb from what is now an almost ethnically and religiously "pure" Albanian Muslim state. The media told us that the Serbs had developed a systematic "plan," enigmatically known as "Operation Horseshoe," to eliminate all Albanians from Kosovo, either by killing them outright or else driving them out of the country, which the media in this country and abroad reported as fact. Now we know that this tall tale should have been called "Operation Horseshit," because there was no such plan. While our own legislators in Congress haven't got the smarts or the balls to raise the issue of "who sold us on Kosovo?", German deputies are calling the NATO- crats on it, including some from the pro-government pro-war Green Party. AUTHOR, AUTHOR! The media did not simply allow itself to be deceived they were active participants and the authors of this deception. Journalists were not only willing instruments of NATO but functioned as a kind of Greek chorus for the most extreme wing of the War Party: during the latter stages of the conflict, they ceaselessly and shamelessly bombarded officials with different variations of a single question: "Isn't it time to bring in the ground troops?" Now that the truth, or at least some of it, is beginning to come out, are they fessing up to their role as the courtier press, and beating their breasts with a thousand mea culpas? Of course not. THE NERVE Not only are they refusing to acknowledge their pernicious role as frontline soldiers in NATO's war on the truth, but they actually have the nerve to take umbrage at their postwar critics, such as Philip Knightley, who has called the Kosovo war "a disaster for journalism." During the war, Knightley the author of The First Casualty: The War Correspondent as Hero and Myth-maker, which has just come out in a new edition including sections on the Gulf War and Kosovo saw through the barrage of propaganda and predicted that we would arrive at precisely this pass: "The theory at briefings is simply (to) appear open, transparent and eager to help. Never go in for summary repression or direct control; nullify rather than conceal undesirable news; control the emphasis rather than the facts; balance bad news with good and lie directly only when you are certain the lie won't be found out during the course of the war. Looking back on history we see that these sorts of lies often don't surface until too late to make any difference to the outcome. Five, 10 years or 20 years later you suddenly discover the people you trusted to tell you what was happening were lying to you." DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE Knightley recently appeared before the Freedom Forum, a gathering of journalists sponsored by a group devoted to maintaining the integrity of the news media and its independence from governments, where he made his "disaster" comment to a storm of protests from a mob of government toadies masquerading as the Fourth Estate. "I'm afraid truth was the first casualty in the reporting of the war in Kosovo, as it is in every war," said Knightley, warning that unless journalists developed some form of institutional memory to remind them of the lessons learned in previous wars, his was a "gloomy assessment of the future of war reporting." Michael Jermey of Britain's ITN had the temerity to stand up and declare: "I think, in the Kosovo conflict, television journalists from a lot of organizations did some very good work trying to get at the truth." This from the representative of a "news" organization that not only falsified reports of an alleged Bosnian "concentration camp" with its infamous "Photo that Fooled the World," but launched a malicious campaign to silence its critics and cover-up its own complicity in the selling of an immoral and increasingly disastrous war. Are we to be spared nothing? The report did not mention whether Jermey said it with a straight face. But I am willing to bet that he did. In the Orwellian world in which we are living, it

Arlen Specter (R-PA) Tom Harkin (D-IA), chair ranking member of the Senate Labor, HHS Appropriations Subcommittee, held a hearing this week devoted to self-congratulations on having created the new National Center of Complementary and Alternative Medicine at NIH, with a budget of $68.7M. It's "for the people," they exulted, 42% of whom spend some $27B yearly for therapies ranging from magnets to herbal supplements. No mention was made of the growing number of fatal reactions to untested supplements (WN 24 Mar 00).The Center replaces the Office of Complementary and Alternative Medicine that was headed by homeopath Wayne Jonas. The new Director, Stephen Strauss, an NIH virologist, is reputed to be a serious researcher. In addition to such CAM gurus as Dean Ornish and Andrew Weil, there was the usual parade of grateful patients: "I was a shattered woman" one testified, "angry at God." Then she discovered Herbert Benson's Mind- Body Institute and had a baby. Benson wants studies of the placebo effect, to show how the mind heals the body, but Harkin wants to discard the term "placebo effect." "It's real medicine," he insisted. The next Specter- Harkin goal? Complementary and alternative medicine in the curriculum of every medical school. :: By federal mandate?

AER --- Forwarded message follows --- Date sent: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 15:05:23 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Release: SEC snooping To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Libertarian Party announcements list) Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- === NEWS FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW, Suite 100 Washington DC 20037 World Wide Web: http://www.LP.org === For release: March 30, 2000 === For additional information: George Getz, Press Secretary Phone: (202) 333-0008 Ext. 222 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] === Let's pull the plug on the SEC's automated Web snooping scheme WASHINGTON, DC -- A plan by the Securities and Exchange Commission to scan the Internet for "suspicious" words and phrases -- and maintain a secret database of the results -- is an electronic "stop-and-frisk" that will treat innocent Americans like financial felons, the Libertarian Party warned today. "Under this plan, anything you say electronically can and will be used against you in a government database," said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. "The SEC says it has 'zero tolerance' for financial fraud, but this proposal proves that the commission has zero tolerance for privacy, Constitutional protections, and the concept of being innocent until proven guilty." This week, the SEC admitted that it was in the process of creating a multi-million-dollar surveillance system that will automatically scan websites, Internet message boards, and online forums for language that could indicate financial or stock fraud. The SEC's automated web "crawler" would search for up to 40 words or phrases like "get rich quick" or "make money now," collect the e-mail addresses and names of people posting such messages, and then store that information in a database for possible investigation and civil action. Such a surveillance scheme is allowable, argued SEC assistant general counsel George C. Browne, because "the Constitution doesn't give people the right to use the Internet to commit fraud." But, countered Dasbach, "The Constitution doesn't give the federal government the right to scoop up information about individuals without reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing, and dump that information in a secret database without their knowledge or consent." Libertarians oppose the SEC scheme for several reasons, he said: * It secretly monitors the lawful actions of millions of innocent Americans in an effort to catch a few crooks. "A basic premise of American law is that you are innocent until proven guilty," said Dasbach. "Under this SEC plan, you could be monitored and investigated without any search warrant, suspicion of wrongdoing, or criminal charges. For example, if you mention on an Internet forum that you bought a government lottery ticket in an effort to 'get rich quick,' you could be tagged by the SEC as a potential swindler." * It may constitute an unconstitutional "search." "The law is murky on this topic, because the courts have not decided exactly what the Internet is, or what constitutes a digital search," admitted Dasbach. "Is it like a telephone, in which case the SEC would need a warrant to spy on you? Or is it like a discussion in a public square, in which case the SEC can eavesdrop at will? But given the government's long history of violating civil rights and privacy, Libertarians would argue that the Internet deserves the most robust Fourth Amendment protection possible -- and the SEC's plan deserves zero tolerance from the courts." * It may violate the federal government's own Privacy Act. "Under the Privacy Act, Americans have the legal right to correct false information about themselves in a government database," noted Dasbach. "But under this SEC plan, you won't be informed that information has been collected about you and put into the SEC's investigative database. You could be in their files as a potential financial felon -- and not even know it." For all these reasons, the SEC should scrap its automated snooping scheme, said Dasbach. "SEC bureaucrats should pull the plug on this automated webcrawler, and let it crawl off and die," he said. "Instead of spying on innocent Americans who want to get rich quick, this high-tech surveillance scheme should get canceled quick." -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBOOORINCSe1KnQG7RAQFlBgQAofoZ/+AupuqJT2GmyMxFEDBVKUT6kQh3 DMEheCS24scivYtkvpuF+Eph1epO6gzFnL1B6QpPEQQOO5nMNGjTuSRc1clD6Fzz

Once you have a need and try to figure out a way of satisfying that need you are not efficient because you have to use your assets or acquire more. The computer is efficient because it has no needs they are all taken care of by that human that wants. Wants to acquire, capitalize, control. Communist are ants, locked into a society that tells them that if they want anything, need anything, acquire anything or capitalize on anything that they are not efficient- to not be efficient is to be less than perfect. That they should feel guilty about doing so - unless they are willing to give it to someone else. At the same time they are required to support the state and that supporting the state means that no one else can be ahead of them - which means that a communist state will devolve and stagnate on it's own - it has to take from outside sources to stay alive. Communism is an ant type society that has to have a large number of workers to keep each queen alive. The difference is that the queen is productive and the workers are self sufficient. A King, Queen, or Emperor has to be willing to fight on the front line and in some wars if the countries head person was taken or killed that country lost. Why? Because they represented the country. Would Hitler or Clinton or Bush be such that independent people that knew them well would follow them, trust them? The only ones that would willingly follow these kind of people are the ones that are/were afraid of getting screwed by Hitler or Clinton or Bush or think that they have control of these people. Hitler was supported (money and otherwise) by people like Bush Sr. Clinton is supported (money and otherwise) Bush Jr. is supported (money and otherwise) Now is Bush Sr. or Hillary smart enough to support themselves or are they supported? Hillary was told about cattle futures and proved that she was a incompetent during Nixon (WaterGate) investigation. Bush Sr. is a sadist that likes children and apparently has very little control of himself much less anything else. Communist see these people as Americans, yet their transcripts show that they are what the communist idea breeds - parasites! A self aware computer that has wants and needs -inefficient. Computers replacing humans - the computers thought would not excite bacteria and other intelligent matrixes so it would not evolve. If humans advocate getting rid of a large number of other humans then we will be replaced BY ants to do the housekeeping of planet earth. Communism is not a herd type - top stud (reindeer) society. They are an ant type society where individual thought and emotions are to be suppressed, repressed to conform so that they are easier to control in mass. To think that everything can be computerized, sterilized - logical. Why are humans here is a self aware computer is the ultimate? Why have worlds and bacteria? -Once you have pure thought what does it think about? Could the sun be alive? It is an energy matrix like our brain. Could other energy sources be alive? How are humans different? We can move and manipulate things. So can apes and ants. How are humans different? We are absurd, ridiculous, fun, exciting, logical, illogical not only capable of adapting to our environment but capable of adapting the environment to us. That puts apes out but ants can do that. How are humans different from ants or a self aware computer? We think and get excited, our brain evolve because we get into situations and have to remember or figure out how to get out of those situations.

Business machines giant Xerox Corp. said today it was cutting 5,200 jobs, or 5 percent of its work force, saying it can "no longer operate business as usual and expect to win." Struggling with stiff competition and a difficult reorganization of its sales force, Xerox said it was narrowing its focus to two core markets: business machines such as copiers for home and medium-sized offices, and larger documents systems for big corporations. It plans to charge $625 million against earnings in the first quarter as a result of the restructuring. Xerox president Rick Thoman said the marketplace has changed from the days when Xerox was a leader in photocopying technology. "While these are difficult actions for our people, Xerox can no longer operate business as usual and expect to win,'' he said. "We're intensifying our drive to become a faster, leaner and more flexible enterprise." The cuts were not unexpected. Xerox said in January that an overhaul was coming, and analysts this week had predicted job cuts and a restructuring charge in the neighborhood of $500 million to $900 million. Today's announcement is Xerox's fourth major restructuring in the last decade. In 1998, the company took a $1.1 billion charge and cut about 9,000 jobs in another reorganization. Xerox said none of the cuts in the latest overhaul will affect its sales or research and development efforts. The charge includes about $175 million for closing facilities and scrapping some of its inventory. The company said the cuts would affect all levels and geographic areas. Details will need to be hashed out among business groups, unions, government and local leadership, the company said. "Over the past two years, we have made progress in improving productivity and reducing general and administrative expenses. But we need to go further," Thoman said. The company's profits fell 52 percent in the fourth quarter, to $294 million, or 41 cents per share, compared with $615 million, or 84 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenues in the quarter fell 6 percent to $5.44 billion from $5.79 billion a year ago. The company has said it expects to see another decline in earnings in the first quarter, which ends today. Specific steps the company plans to take include: Streamlining production, including moving factories to areas where certain products are most in demand. Consolidating warehouses and distribution centers and eliminating backed-up inventory. Improved customer service. Combining support services for marketing, finance and human resources.

[CTRL] Israeli Apartheid Approach Showing Cracks (fwd)

To receive MER regularly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- MER WEEKEND READING - "STRANGE ADMISSION": [Please forward to friends and concerned persons] CRACKING ISRAELI APARTHEID "They're asserting historic rights, but if we accept this claim the whole country will be theirsThe whole ideological basis of setting up a Jewish state is slipping away." Israeli town Mayor MiD-EasT RealitieS - Washington - 3/30: The Minister of Education -- from the liberal Meretz Party -- wants to allow the teaching of a well-known Palestinian poet in Israeli schools. He is declared a traitor by the leading Rabbi of Shas, another major party in the same coalition goverment of former General Ehud Barak. Then the Attorney General of the same government opens a criminal investigation against the Rabbi for possible "incitement". In another development the Israeli Supreme Court issues a narrow ruling saying "Israeli Arabs" can live in a place where only "Israeli Jews" were allowed to live before. But of course this is the same Supreme Court that claims to have outlawed "torture" in the past; yet somehow those in charge always find loopholes and in the end things haven't changed nearly as much as some would like the world to think. Now one more "amazing admission" in a sense form the Israelis themselves -- that some land should be given back to the villagers who formerly owned it back in the time when Israel was created. The following article appeared this week in the New York Times about a decision by Israeli Interior Minister Natan Sharansky to "restore" to the Arab village of Kufr Qasim 250 acres of land expropriated for the exclusive use of Jews in the 1950s. Kufr Qasim is well-known to historians -- it was the site of a notorious massacre of dozens of villagers by Israeli forces led by the current leader of the Likud Party, Ariel Sharon, in 1956. Objecting to this possibly precedent-setting decision, the mayor of the Jewish town to which the land was given spoke more truth than perhaps he intended. Of the Palestinians who never gave up the struggle to return their land, the mayor said: "They're asserting historic rights, but if we accept this claim the whole country will be theirsThe whole ideological basis of setting up a Jewish state is slipping away." If there ever was an admission that the Zionist "ideological" basis for Israel is the theft of land from its original owners, this simple quotation seems to be it. And it's all the more ironic when Israelis themselves object to someone asserting their "historic rights" when in fact Zionism itself is grounded on claims precisely based in "historic rights." Of course the history of the past half-century also is such that the prospects for basic changes in how Israel operates are not very substantial, even when a government official steps forward to address one particular wrong or a legal decision is handed down that seems to contradict the very fabric of Israeli laws and regulations. Israel has a long history of attention grabbing announcements which never materialize in reality or which are put into effect in extremely marginal and limited ways more for "show" than anything else. Additionally, none of this should obscure the basic fact that the ongoing "peace process" with its Jews-only "by-pass roads", Arabs-only "free-passage roads", and hodge-podge of zones this and that and restrictions for here and there is designed to legitimize the overall dispossession of the Palestinians of most of their lands and resources; and that Israeli settlement "thickening" and "normal growth" throughout the occupied territories still actually continues to this day. But even so, the contradictions and cracks in the very fabric of how Israeli law and custom currently define right and wrong in the area once known as "The Holy Land" (the actual expression Ehud Barak used upon first greeting the Pope earlier this month") should be understood and appreciated. ** ISRAEL SAYS IT WILL RESTORE SEIZED LAND TO ARAB

[CTRL] FW: Adjusting America
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- ADJUSTING AMERICA The Structural Adjusment Programs Imposed by the IMF the World Bank Are Hitting the U.S. too! There is enough evidence on how policies of the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) have come to connote colonialism and a dominating world capitalist system for the Third World. The unregulated flow of global capital has placed the fate of developing economies at the mercy of Wall Street traders. However, nations of the South are not the only victims of this process. There is also a "South" in the North-right here in the United States, that is being harmed by domestic policies of the U.S. government, such as the 'Contract With America' and the 'welfare reform.' These policies are part of the same package of policies imposed by the World Bank and the IMF on developing countries. With the rise of "neoliberalism" on a worldwide scale, the Third World countries have faced rampant privatization and the removal of barriers to trade via structural adjustment programs imposed by the World Bank and the IMF. In the U.S., supply-side economics, or 'Reaganomics' have continued unimterrupted under Bush and Clinton administration. In England it was called "Thatcherism" but has continued virtually uninterrupted under the "new Labor" government. Regardless of where it has taken place, the onslaught has been remarkably similar: debts and deficits accumulated through military overspending and tax cuts to the rich are being repaid on the backs of the poor, women, immigrants, people of color and workers. Though a triumphant view dominates media coverage of the U.S. economy, but never before poor working families have been forced to wage their daily struggles amid pervasive chatter about unprecedented prosperity. In both rich and poor nations, dislocations from economic and corporate restructuring, and from dismantling the institutions of social protection, have resulted in greater insecurity in jobs and incomes. The 'Third Worldization' of America The double squeeze by corporate America and a U.S. government catering to corporate interest, has forced Americans to give back quite a bit. For example: . Despite glowing media reports on our booming economy, as estimated 46 million Americans, nearly 17% of the population, live below the poverty line. . The top 2.7 million people have as much income as the bottom 100 million. In other words, the richest 1 percent of Americans is projected to have as much income as the bottom 38 percent. Wealth is even more concentrated, with the wealthiest 1 percent of households owning nearly 40 percent of the nation's wealth. The bottom 80 percent own just 16 percent of the nation's wealth. To further widen this inequality, CEOs of U.S. corporations pocketed 419 times the average wage of a blue collar worker in 1998. . According to the Report on Household Food Security put out by the USDA in 1999, an estimated 36 million Americans in 10.5 million households do not have access to adequate food. . The strong economy, celebrated by administration is not reducing hunger because even though more households are in workforce, their take-home pay is not enough to feed their families. A full-time worker at minimum wage earns $9,512 a year. For a family of four, that puts the family income well below the federal poverty line of $17,072. . A survey of 26 cities released in December 1999 by the U.S. Conference of Mayors shows that hunger and homelessness has grown unabated, despite an expanding national economy. Among 2 key findings of the 1999 Status Report on Hunger and Homelessness in America's cities, demand for emergency food related assistance during 1999 grew at the highest level since 1992 (18 percent over the previous year), and demand for emergency housing related assistance grew at the highest level since 1994. 21 percent of requests for food are estimated to have gone unmet. . The government has responded to this crisis by passing legislation such as welfare reform which has resulted in 11 million families, including 8 million with children, losing their income. This happened when total federal spending for food programs before welfare reform was only 2.5 percent of the federal budget. More than half of the $54 billion in welfare cuts are coming from food stamps that 25 million poor Americans depended upon. Over 80 percent of food stamps go to families with children. This has resulted in increased hunger. . In 1997, Second Harvest, the country's largest chain of food banks provided food for almost 26 million people, nearly 10 percent of America's population. Even then it had to turn away 2.3 million people. To compensate fully for the government cuts, each of the 350,000 churches in the U.S. would have to contribute an additional $150,000 and many churches do not have a budget this big. To make up for the shortfall, the non-profit sector would have to

To receive MER regularly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- MER EDITORIAL: ISRAELI REPARATIONS FOR LEBANON? [MER - WASHINGTON - 3/30] Once again, the Americans keep fronting for the Israelis. Bill Clinton might as well be a paid lobbyist for the Israelis the way he conducts U.S. policies in the Middle East. Now the Americans are joining the Israelis more than ever in pretending that it is the Syrians who are holding things up. Indeed, the Americans are already letting it be known that they will back the Israelis in attacks on Lebanon and even on Syria unless everyone plays ball and lets the Israelis leave their occupation zone in Lebanon as if nothing has happened these past 20 years. And let's not forget Iranthe Israelis still have it in mind to take down Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs if they can just find an excuse and a way. The fact that the Syrians are simply insisting, as they always consistently have, on fulfillment of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242; and the fact that the U.S. deceived the Syrians back in 1967 which lead to Israel's capture of the Golan Heights in the first place; and that fact that today's Israeli Prime Minster secretly pushed for war to destroy Syria back in the 80s -- well it seems nobody is too eager to discuss these matters. It's a lot easier to just blame it all on Hafez Assad for not being "flexible" -- which translated from the diplomatese means for not caving in, so far, to American/Israeli pressures and threats. PITY THE ARABS Of course the Arabs have themselves to blame for so much. Their public relations efforts remain primitive. They remain divided from each other and infiltrated by their enemies. They are everywhere led by corrupt, repressive, dictatorial and barely competent regimes, many of which have been Western client-regimes on the take for decades -- especially the Saudis and the Jordanians. And at the end of the day the Arabs collectively are as bad at political manueverings as they are at warfare -- the very situation that has made it possible for the small Israeli nation to come to dominate an entire Arab world and to now have eight times the military might of all the Arab armies combined! And most of all, it's the Arab themselves that have allowed long life to this rather ridiculous charade that has gone on for so long now that the US is a fair and to-be-trusted intermediary, when in fact all along the Arabs could have and should have kept these matters at the very least under the auspices of the U.N. or of their own Arab League, however pitiful it too has become. As a result, just in recent years Lebanon has been battered, Iraq destroyed, Algeria traumatized, Palestine chopped to pieces, and Saudi Arabia with Kuwait occupied. And that's all before going into details about client-regimes in the pay of Western intelligence agencies, gross corruption, legendary ineptitude, and secret police repression. BACK TO THE ISRAELIS Getting back to the Israelis though, they've now got the chutzpah to tell the Lebanese they're leaving their little "security zone" and going back to their 1948 border -- thank you...it's been nice knowing you. Trouble is it seems the Israelis want everyone, most especially the Lebanese, to simply forget everything they have done these past 25 years -- which includes upwards of tens of thousands of civilian deaths, a list of horrendous massacres stretching from Sabra and Shatilla in 1982 to Qana in 1996, a whole lot of bombing, many assassinations, creation of a client army, and billions of dollars of property damage. It seems the Israelis expect everybody else in the world to pay them reparations, but never do think they owe anyone anything. Meanwhile, even if one turns to U.N. resolutions for the contours of a acceptable peace -- an institution itself dominated by the U.S. and the West and which itself carved Israel out of the Arab world against Arab wishes and rights in the first place -- its hardly the Arabs that are holding things up. Indeed most of the Arab regimes have pleaded with Israel since

[CTRL] Fw: How Tyranny Came to America by Joseph Sorbran
Passed on for information purposes only. I have not read this entire article. AKE - Original Message - From: Dave Russell To: mailto:Undisclosed-Recipient:;@webtv.net Sent: Friday, March 31, 2000 9:26 AM Subject: Fw: How Tyranny Came to America !!! The following critique of the present state of our nation and what the author (Joseph Sobran) refers to as "post-Constitutional America" is one of the best articles I have ever seen. It is quite long, 13 pages, but I found it such an excellent explanation of where we stand today that I down-loaded it, printed it out and have read it three times. I am going to make copies for each of my children and grandchildren, and a few extra for my friends. It may not mean a thing to those that are already "brain-dead" and think we are still living in a free society governed by our Constitution, however, to those who still have at least READ THE CONSTITUTION at least once, I think it will serve as a wake-up call. Perhaps, just perhaps, the message set forth in the article will remind us that we are not a free people and the individual rights and states rights mentioned in the Constitution are no longer in effect. As Mr. Sobran emphasizes, our basic rights are God-given and do not come from the state, although Big Brother government would have you believe otherwise. I have never found a better critique of the present state of affairs in America than this article. I would encourage you to print it out and make copies. Give them to your children, neighbors, government officials, teachers, and anyone else who may be receptive to learning the true intent of the Founding Fathers, and how the intent has been subverted and powers usurped by successive layers of government. I share the belief stated by the author in the last two paragraphs of the article. My only reservation is, "Do we have the will to abandon the handouts being doled out by government to buy our freedom and keep ussubservient, and do what is necessary to restore individual liberty and freedom in America?"

I hunted for this Article for over a week and itwas well worth itPlease read It explains allot Death Before DishonorMIKE CLAUSEN How Tyranny Came to America by Joseph Sobran One of the great goals of education is to initiate the young into the conversation of their ancestors; to enable them to understand the language of that conversation, in all its subtlety, and maybe even, in their maturity, to add to it some wisdom of their own.The modern American educational system no longer teaches us the political language of our ancestors. In fact our schooling helps widen the gulf of time between our ancestors and ourselves, because much of what we are taught in the name of civics, political science, or American history is really modern liberal propaganda. Sometimes this is deliberate. Worse yet, sometimes it isnt. Our ancestral voices have come to sound alien to us, and therefore our own moral and political language is impoverished. Its as if the people of England could no longer understand Shakespeare, or Germans couldnt comprehend Mozart and Beethoven.So to most Americans, even those who feel oppressed by what they call big government,it must sound strange to hear it said, in the past tense, that tyranny came to America. After all, we have a constitution, dont we? Weve abolished slavery and segregation. We won two world wars and the Cold War. We still congratulate ourselves before every ballgame on being the Land of the Free. And we arent ruled by some fanatic with a funny mustache who likes big parades with thousands of soldiers goose-stepping past huge pictures of himself.For all that, we no longer fully have what our ancestors, who framed and ratified our Constitution, thought of as freedom a careful division of power that prevents power from becoming concentrated and unlimited. The word they usually used for concentrated power was consolidated a rough synonym for fascist.And the words they used for any excessive powers claimed or exercised by the state were usurpedand tyrannical.They would consider the modern liberal state tyrannical in principle; they would see in it not the opposite of the fascist, communist, and socialist states, but their sister.If Washington and Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton could come back, the first thing theyd notice would be that the federal government now routinely assumes thousands of powers never assigned to it powers never granted,never delegated,never enumerated.These were the words they used, and its a good idea for us to learn

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Mike, I cannot recall which one, but a Congressman from AZ or NM has recently called for Congressional investigations of the chemtrails. Of course there is a conspiracy to the chemtrails disappearing grin so it could be so that this Congressman cannot see them at the time he is asking for investigations. Makes it easier to pretend they do not exist.
