[CTRL] Fwd: RE: [CIA-DRUGS] Book, Our Nation Betrayed
dopewar wrote - "The Bushes Make Clinton look like an angel." That is absolutely positively untrue and misleading. It is the kind of argument that advocates and seeks to justify the lesser of two evils. Clinton just hasn't been at it as long but he is just as ruthless, unprincipled and a much better street-fighter than the Bushes. Certainly he's light years better at evil than "W." His use of the drug trade to finance the ascendancy of his particular organized crime faction has been paved with murder, cunning, ruthlessness and law breaking of the vilest order. Clinton will be out of office in seven months but his administration has institutionalized the corruption and opened the door into an inevitable descent into criminal chaos. The system has evolved to a point of criminal no return. The Democratic Party, as it is run, is the worst enemy to our non-existent freedom precisely because it masquerades as the friend of the common man. Yet the past eight years have seen the destruction of welfare, horrible incarceration rates, unbridled corruption, support for dictators and abusers of human and ecological rights, the genocidal destruction and re-colonization of Kosovo, the bombing and starvation of tens of thousands of children in Iraq, genocide in Rwanda, East Timor and Somalia, the reintroduction of defoliants worse than Agent Orange into the third world and preparation for an inevitable ground war in Colombia. Once again a Volvo Democrat seems to utter a palliative to make himself feel better while wearing Nike shoes and enjoying the benefits of mutual funds supported by drug profits. That is my impression of dopewar's analysis. Evil is evil is evil! Wherever it is encountered it should be recognized, exposed, illuminated. Anyone who has the courage to expose it should be supported. I have read significant portions of Garland's book and I have also noted that Garland went to great pains to point out the deep involvement of Bush, Casey, North et al in the drug trade. He did not point fingers in only one direction. The British educator Herbert Spencer wrote that the single biggest bar to progress, knowledge and learning was an attitude he called "contempt prior to investigation." Sorry dopewar, but you are busted. Besides that, I have less than full confidence in people who are reluctant to post their full names openly on this list. The CIA can find who anyone on this list is in about ten seconds, whether they post their name or not. So, why then are you afraid to tell us chickens who you are as you preach to us?

Likewise, during the 1980s, a Democrat led Congress turned the Contra investigation into an arms for hostages deal to protect George Bush from extensive CIA drug trafficking charges.

[Also see summary of study on MP3 attached below. --DBM] The Wall Street Journal Monday, June 19, 2000 REVIEW OUTLOOK (Editorial) Napster Agonistes Once upon a time you didn't have to know about sex until you were, oh, 15 or so, and the sordid intricacies of the political lobbying process could safely remain a mystery until 25 at least. If 19-year-old Shawn Fanning is any indication, parents of budding software engineers had better sit down early and have a talk about the facts of life. We don't know where Mr. Fanning stands on the birds and the bees, but the speed at which the Washington trade group milieu managed to produce dueling studies about the economic effects of Napster, a piece of software he whipped up last year in his dorm room, made even our heads spin. One trade group, representing the recording industry, produced a report detailing a sharp tumble in CD sales at record stores near college campuses, where kids have gone crazy downloading music from each other using Napster. Within days, it seemed, came a study by something called the Digital Media Association claiming that people were more likely to spring for a $16 CD if they could sample the music first with a free download from the Web. It would be silly to spend much time parsing these numbers except to note that overall music industry sales continue to grow nicely. There will always be Luddites trying to throw themselves in the path of something new, but their doomful predictions have been confounded by the willingness of people to consume greater quantities of whatever can be produced and distributed more cheaply. Music, we suspect, will be no different. When the tape recorder came out, the universe of popular sounds consisted of three genres: top 40, album rock and soul. Nowadays there are several dozen sub-genres of heavy-metal music alone. Somehow the industry adapted to the new economics. Call us cynical, but we suspect the industry's effort to put Napster out of business with lawsuits has more to do with the fact that Mr. Fanning's company has created and occupied a "space," in new-economy parlance, that the music companies covet for themselves. But the record companies also live in dread of each other stealing a march, so they've agreed for now that the best thing is for them to sing in unison, Napster must die. This is why Mr. Fanning has yet to become a zillionaire, but his new partners from Silicon Valley's Hummer Winblad are working on it. Changing tack in court, the firm's lawyers are arguing that trading copyrighted music online is perfectly legal as long as kids aren't charging each other money. If this argument succeeds and Napster looks ripe to stay in business, the next move is to open the bidding. And since the likely bidders include Time Warner AOL, Seagram and Bertelsmann, Mr. Fanning won't end up on the breadline despite cutting short his college career. This is the real dance, and last week's dueling studies are mere background music. The trade groups hope that their precious factoids will lodge in the semiconscious brain of some Congressman, judge or media face just as he's about to issue a sound bite or cast a vote on Napster's technology. These are just the games that lawyers, lobbyists and other putative grownups play. It doesn't mean anything, kids, so keep writing that software.

This survey of USC students adds significant empirical data to the national debate surrounding Internet music downloads and music file sharing software.

The Question of Alphabetical Lettering. The Irish legends are compatible with Israelite origins. They presuppose having originally come from the Middle East AND often speak of arriving in Spain via North Africa. A Moroccan Jewish legend1 says that when the Ten tribes were exiled part of the tribe of Ephraim reached Morocco. They ruled over the land until the time of Ezra (ca.457-445 b.c.e.) at which period their rule was lost. In many respects North Africa and Spain in early times were often effectually one entity. The Irish, Scottish, and Welsh, and many of the ancient Britons and Gauls spoke forms of Celtic. Celtic is considered an Indo-European tongue related to Latin. The Celts apparently received the Indo-European aspects of their language and culture from peoples they had conquered on the Continent before continuing their westward trek. Linguistic examinations of the speech of the Welsh and Irish reveal a form of Celtic in which there is an underlying speech element similar to that found in North Africa. North African languages are classified as "Hamitic". Egyptian and Berber are Hamitic tongues. They have an affinity with Semitic languages and local dialects in various parts of the Middle East occasionally exhibit Hamitic features. Aspects of Hamitic speech are also found in Biblical Hebrew but they are not emphasised. Most of the ancient Canaanite peoples adopted a language similar to Hebrew though both Indo-European and Hamitic languages must also have been known to them . The Phoenician use of Hebrew has characteristics of a foreign tongue adopted by them2. There also exist Arabic dialects which are Hamitic or reveal a Hamitic substratum. Not only that but the impression is that much of the difference between Hamitic and Semitic is more one of emphasis than of substance. Dialects of Hebrew within the Land of Israel could well have absorbed Hamitic elements. Insular British Celtic tongues, especially colloquial Welsh, says W.H.Worrell3, show certain peculiarities which are reminiscent of Hamitic and Semitic tongues and are unparalleled in Aryan languages. Similarly, according to H.Wagner: "Irish..has as many features in common with non-Indo-European languages, especially with Hamito-Semitic languages, as with other Indo-European languages"4. "Insular Celtic languages.. the grammatical categories having many affinities with non-Indo-European languages, in particular Basque and Berber"5. "The comparative typology of insular Celtic initiated by Morris Jones and further developed by Pokorny, G.B.Adams, and myself has revealed that most of the many peculiar features of insular Celtic rarely traceable in other Indo-European languages have analogies in Basque, Berber, Egyptian, Semitic, and even in Negro languages"6. "Certain features [(of marginal influence only)] of Old Irish verb forms can be understood only in the light of Hittite, Vedic, Sanskrit, and Mycenean Greek"7. J.Morris Jones said that, "The pre-Aryan idioms which still live in Welsh and Irish were derived from a language allied to Egyptian tongues"8. The above linguistic remarks show that Insular Celtic (i.e. of Britain and Ireland as distinct from the Continental forms which were somewhat different) is consistent with the claims proposed herein: i.e. The original tongue of the Insular Celts was Semitic

[CTRL] Offer to Back Up Gore Records Rebuffed, Aide Says
From: http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31012-2000Jun20.html Offer to Back Up Gore Records Rebuffed, Aide Says By George Lardner Jr. Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, June 21, 2000; Page A12 Vice President Gore's top information expert told White House computer specialists in 1993 to "get lost" when they offered to back up Gore's electronic records on tape so they could be kept for "potential legal proceedings," a White House aide said yesterday in a sworn statement. In an affidavit filed in federal court here, the White House aide, Howard Sparks, said the rebuff came from Michael Gill, a Gore political appointee, who emphasized that the vice president's office "would take care of its own records." Sparks, a civil service career employee who still works at the White House as a computer network specialist, said in the statement that if the advice of the White House's Office of Administration had been followed, the year's worth of Gore office e-mail that was found this month to have been lost would still be in existence. He added that Gill, who has since left Gore's staff, was sometimes known as "the Mad Deletor," a nickname that "referred to his propensity to delete electronic records as a method of dealing with computer-related problems." Sparks, who joined the White House in 1987, did not elaborate or cite specific examples. The affidavit was submitted as part of a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of White House employees of the Reagan and Bush administrations whose FBI files had been improperly obtained by the Clinton White House. Attempts to reach Gill were unsuccessful. A spokesman for Gore, Jim Kennedy, said he could not comment in detail on the affidavit, but noted that Gore's office did make its own backup tapes and that "these tapes exist, with the exception of one year due to a technical problem." Sparks said he and a colleague, Jim McDonald, then head of the Office of Administration's Information Systems and Technology Division, met with Gill in 1993 and "carefully explained" to him the legal requirement that Gore's office manage its electronic records. But when they told him the Office of Administration could do this by backing up the Gore office records onto White House backup tapes, Sparks said Gill "essentially told us to get lost, that the Vice President's Office would take care of its own records." Sparks said he and McDonald let the matter drop, "being in no position to contradict a top political aide to the new Vice President." Sparks said in his affidavit that he felt he had been the target of White House retaliation in the past because of his objections to the development of a White House database that he regarded as illegal because it involved the use of taxpayer resources "to track political contributions and other improper information." He said he was "idled" for about two years and given "little or nothing to do." The White House has had its own records management problems and is undertaking a $10 million effort to reconstruct hundreds of thousands of electronic messages, including Gore's. © 2000 The Washington Post Company = 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] Australian Secret Intelligence Service Exposed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation NOTE: This transcript is typed from a recording and not from the original script. Because of the difficulties of mishearing and the difficulties in some cases of identifying individual speakers, the ABC cannot vouch for its accuracy. "CODE NAME MANTRA" 21ST FEBRUARY, 1994 REPORTER: ROSS COULTHART PRODUCER: MARK CORCORAN NOT FOR PUBLICATION OPENING THEME AND TITLES ANDREW OLLE (STUDIO) Welcome to the program... and to what we believe is a first on Australian television. Tonight, two former spies speak out about their under cover work for Australia. Their revelations raise serious questions about the conduct and priorities of our overseas intelligence operations. As a result, we're holding over our advertised program. The Australian Secret Intelligence Service - ASIS - is by necessity a shadowy organisation. Its job is to gather information abroad that could be important to Australia ... in other words, to spy on other countries. Few would suggest that we should never indulge in such covert activities. At times, it's clearly vital. But as you'll see tonight, spying is also fraught with danger ... for the agents ... and for the broader interest they're supposed to serve. The two senior ex-ASIS operatives at the heart of our story have their own reasons for unburdening these national secrets. However, Four Corners is confident that their disclosures - though often alarming - do not threaten our national security. On the contrary, it's hoped that bringing them out into the open might head off future excesses. ANDREW OLLE (Continued) Ross Coulthart and Producer Mark Corcoran take us into the sometimes bizarre world of intrigue inhabited by the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. FILM: BUDDHIST TEMPLE, MONKS CHANTING MANTRA ROSS COULTHART (VOICE OVER) In the shadowy wilderness of mirrors that is the world of espionage, the files of Australia s secret overseas spy service, ASIS, are never referred to by name.The spies, bureaucrats and select Government Ministers who deal daily with the ASIS secrets refer to them only as MANTRA. For a Hindu or a Buddhist a MANTRA is a vedic hymn, a devotional incantation to the Gods. Inside Australia s secret service MANTRA is now the code word used to shield the activities of our most covert arm of Government. ROSS COULTHART (TO CAMERA) Through the stories of its spies Four Corners will help decipher the ASIS MANTRA. We reveal what s really going on behind the walls of our secret service.Never before have ex-ASIS officers spoken so candidly on television. They say Australians are being poorly served by their secret service. Their allegations raise very serious questions about the operations and accountability of ASIS. FILM: OFFICER #1 WALKING THROUGH SYDNEY ROSS COULTHART This man worked as a spy for Australia until 1985.Sent to the elite British Secret Intelligence Service - better known as MI6 - he did a training course there in 1976 and later spied for Australia while posing as a diplomat. Because he now works as a senior executive in the corporate sector, he doesn t want his name revealed. He knows his old ASIS bosses will know who he is, but he doesn t want to jeopardise the organisation he works for by identifying himself any more than he has to. So we ll call him Officer One. FILM - INTERVIEW WITH OFFICER ONE IN SILHOUETTE ROSS COULTHART Q: How long were you a spy?A: For nine years.Q: And in that time what regions of the world did you work in?A: Well around the Asian area and in the Middle East. ROSS COULTHART Officer One knows he risks criminal prosecution by telling his story. It s a breach of the Crimes Act for him to even talk about what he did for ASIS. FILM: OFFICER #2 ON FERRY ROSS COULTHART This man was also a spy for Australia. He quit ten months ago, in April 1993, after a posting as chief of the ASIS station in Delhi, India. He was, at one time, the deputy head of ASIS counter-intelligence and operational controller for Indo-China, Burma and India. Before that he worked for Australia s domestic spy service, ASIO. We ll call him Officer Two. FILM - INTERVIEW WITH OFFICER NUMBER TWO IN SILHOUETTE OFFICER #2 I'm a former officer of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service - ASIS - and I'm speaking to you today because I believe that there are problems within ASIS and within the administration of ASIS that urgently need to be addressed. FILM - GRAPHIC OF DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS ROSS COULTHART We ve established that these two former spies are who they say they are. They served under diplomatic cover in Australia s foreign embassies. They both have personal grievances with ASIS, but their allegations go well beyond their personal battles. FILM - INTERVIEW WITH OFFICER # 2 OFFICER # 2 ASIS itself is a very small organisation and, as you'll see in the course of the discussions, ah . the impropriety in which its conducted itself

Re: [CTRL] Tarot Card Assassins
From: "Aleisha Saba" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone ever heard of the Tarot Card Assassins.now Tarot Cards are very sinister ancient Egyptian Cards. Bull. Tarot is totally a European invention, relying on pseudo-Egyptian imagery to lend them an air of authenticity. During the late Middle Ages when these cards were developed, and early Renaissance when they were 'perfected', Europeans felt that anything Egyptian lent an air of mystery and occult authority. That is how the traveling people of Romany who utilized these cards came to be called 'gypsies', since legend had it that they originally came from Egypt, when in reality their ancestors came from India... And tarot are just cards, neither 'sinister' nor benevolent Cup signifies an award I think, No, it doesn't. At least not in tarot. So does anyone, maybe Nicky - undertand waht I am saying. I'm sure Nicky does. I'm sure that most of the rest of us just find it incoherent babble as I do... Falling Towers (commu;nication breakdown), I suggest you get a good book on tarot and read up on EXACTLY what the images stand for and mean. The card referred to as The Tower, showing a lightening bolt destroying a tower, does NOT represent 'communication breakdown'... CUPS may stand for Ryder Cup Stewart and his strange death and little JonBenet When you get that good tarot reference book, read up on the meaning of the suit of cups, too... It sounds like you've been basing your 'research' on bad B-grade Hollywood movies in which tarot has been an integral part.

Re: [CTRL] Talmud Exposed
Josh, You've hurt my feelings now, to think I'm in your tribe too. So we take it that you endorse the Talmud then? I'd like to know why it isn't available in the public library, I think we all know why. Perhaps I could find some better writings on the Talmud, written by Jews. Would that appeal? I wouldn't want you to think I was only writing the Christian view. Perhaps the Kaballa? If I send something on that written by Christians would you say I particularly am deluded? Ahh if I send something on the Protocols written by a Christian will you also cut me down? I'm not particularly looking for Christian writers but bud you are outnumbered in USA. the chances of finding someone other than a Christian writer on this is slim. I have never seen a Moslem, Buddhist, Hindu ever take the trouble to write on these tabu subjects. Yet you particularly enjoy slandering Christians and Christianity and that's supposed to be Ok tarring everyone with the same brush. I posted it because it makes a change from always hearing bad things about Christianity and I thought it may be valuable to some. I'm not anti Jewish. Even some Jews don't know what's in the book. Just pick out what you want and leave the rest, if you don't then you are reduced to not sending stuff and commenting endlessly and tediously on those people's that do send..Its getting like a flock of seagulls pouncing on a tidbit to tear a piece for themselves. My posts are generating too many arguments. I haven't got time to pander to people's egos, its just information.

No Jew who ever lived thought that. EVER! The Talmud is Judaism's holiest book (actually a collection of books). Its authority takes precedence over the Old Testament in Judaism. Wrong! No Jew in all of history ever thought that. Evidence of this may be found in the Talmud itself, Erubin 21b (Soncino edition): "My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament)." Total bullshit. The supremacy of the Talmud over the Bible in the Israeli state may also be seen in the case of the Black Ethiopian Jews. Ethiopians have more knowledge of the Old Testament than the Israelis. Wrong! The Talmud is only studied by the ultra ortodox. Just about everyone in Israel has studied the actual Bible because the Bible is Jewish national history and part of school studies in the same way we learn about American history in schools here. Ethiopian Jews, with very few exceptions, know very little about their Jewish roots because they were isolated and forced into conversion to Christianity. Many knew they were Jews but had little reason to practice their herritage in the face of their neighbor's oppression. When they got to Israel they caught up. Today they are full integrated into the general society. However, their religion is so ancient it pre-dates the Scribes' Talmud, of which the Ethiopians have no knowledge. According to the N.Y. Times of Sept. 29, 1992, p.4: "The problem is that Ethiopian Jewish tradition goes no further than the Bible or Torah; the later Talmud and other commentaries that form the basis of modern traditions never came their way." This is true. Because they don't traffic in Talmudic traditions, the Black Ethiopian Jews are discriminated against and have been forbidden by the Zionists to perform marriages, funerals and other services in the Israeli state. Rabbi Joseph D. Soloveitchik is regarded as one of the most influential rabbis of the 20th century, the "unchallenged leader" of Orthodox Judaism and the top international authority on halakha (Jewish religious law). Soloveitchik was responsible for instructing and ordaining more than 2,000 rabbis, "an entire generation" of Jewish leadership. N.Y.

The Atlantic J U N E 2 0 0 0 In the fall of 1958 Theodore Kaczynski, a brilliant but vulnerable boy of sixteen, entered Harvard College. There he encountered a prevailing intellectual atmosphere of anti-technological despair. There, also, he was deceived into subjecting himself to a series of purposely brutalizing psychological experiments -- experiments that may have confirmed his still-forming belief in the evil of science. Was the Unabomber born at Harvard? A look inside the files by Alston Chase (The online version of this article appears in four parts. Click here to go to part two, part three, or part four.) IKE many Harvard alumni, I sometimes wander the neighborhood when I return to Cambridge, reminiscing about the old days and musing on how different my life has been from what I hoped and expected then. On a trip there last fall I found myself a few blocks north of Harvard Yard, on Divinity Avenue. Near the end of this dead-end street sits the Peabody Museum -- a giant Victorian structure attached to the Botanical Museum, where my mother had taken me as a young boy, in 1943, to view the spectacular exhibit of glass flowers. These left such a vivid impression that a decade later my recollection of them inspired me, then a senior in high school, to apply to Harvard.

Includes profiles of central figures, court transcripts and relevant documents, photos, video clips, an archive of articles, and more. This time my return was prompted not by nostalgia but by curiosity. No. 7 Divinity Avenue is a modern multi-story academic building today, housing the university's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. In 1959 a comfortable old house stood on the site. Known as the Annex, it served as a laboratory in which staff members of the Department of Social Relations conducted research on human subjects. There, from the fall of 1959 through the spring of 1962, Harvard psychologists, led by Henry A. Murray, conducted a disturbing and what would now be seen as ethically indefensible experiment on twenty-two undergraduates. To preserve the anonymity of these student guinea pigs, experimenters referred to individuals by code name only. One of these students, whom they dubbed "Lawful," was Theodore John Kaczynski, who would one day be known as the Unabomber, and who would later mail or deliver sixteen package bombs to scientists, academicians, and others over seventeen years, killing three people and injuring twenty-three. HAD a special interest in Kaczynski. For many years he and I had lived parallel lives to some degree. Both of us had attended public high schools and had then gone on to Harvard, from which I graduated in 1957, he in 1962. At Harvard we took many of the same courses from the same professors. We were both graduate students and assistant professors in the 1960s. I studied at Oxford and received a Ph.D. in philosophy from Princeton before joining the faculty at Ohio State and later serving as chairman of the Department of Philosophy at Macalester College, in Minnesota. Kaczynski earned a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Michigan in 1967 and then joined the Berkeley Department of Mathematics as an instructor. In the early 1970s, at roughly the same time, we separately fled civilization to the Montana wilderness. In 1971 Kaczynski moved to Great Falls, Montana; that summer he began building a cabin near the town of Lincoln, eighty miles southwest of Great Falls, on a lot he and his brother, David, had bought. In 1972 my wife and I bought an old homestead fifty-five miles south of Great Falls. Three years later we gave up our teaching jobs to live in Montana full-time. Our place had neither telephone nor electricity; it was ten miles from the nearest neighbor. In winter we were snowbound for months at a time. In our desire to leave civilization Kaczynski and I were not alone. Many others sought a similar escape. What, I wondered, had driven Kaczynski into the wilderness, and to murder? To what degree were his motives simply a more extreme form of the alienation that prompted so many of us to seek solace in the backwoods? Most of us may believe we already know Ted

White House drug office tracks computer visitors http://shns.scripps.com/shns/story.cfm?pk=COOKIES-06-20-00cat=WW By LANCE GAY Scripps Howard News Service June 20, 2000 WASHINGTON - The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy has taken its anti-drug message to the Internet, and it is secretly tracking those who find it in the process. Search for drug terms like "grow pot" on some Internet sites, and an ad banner that pops up from the drug office may drop a "cookie" program in your computer that tracks your online activities. "It's sort of spooky," said Internet consultant Richard Smith, a privacy advocate and former software engineer. But despite what one critic called "Big Brother" tactics, the White House drug office says there's nothing surreptitious going on. The computer cookies are simply tracking its anti-drug media campaign. "Cookies" are personal identifiers used to track the Web sites that computer users visit and what they buy. They identify Internet surfers by the service they are using to get access to the Internet, and can be matched with other information online to provide personal identification. Cookies are secretly inserted in personal computers when surfers visit certain Web sites. Smith said he inadvertently discovered the U.S. government cookies being dropped into his computer while doing Internet research for pharmaceutical companies. White House ads offering information on marijuana pop up when Internet users search for certain words connected to drugs on Internet search engines like AltaVista or Lycos. The banner ads steer users to the anti-drug site Freevibe.com, which is operated by the White House drug office. A tracking cookie is inserted in the user's personal computer as the site is activated. Although Freevibe's privacy notice states that "no information, including your e-mail address, will be sold or distributed to any other organization," the site is connected Doubleclick.com. Officials of Doubleclick, a New York advertising firm that is one of the largest companies gathering data on Internet user use, told the Senate Commerce Committee last week it is developing new products that will profile more than 40 million Internet users. Freevibe's site says the White House drug office will collect the e-mail address "only so we can identify your submission." It does not disclose that it will drop a cookie program in the personal computers of visitors to the site. Donald Maple, senior policy analyst with the White House drug office, said the cookie programs are part of the banner advertising campaign run through the New York advertising firm Ogilvie and Mather. He said the government is not getting personal information on visitors to the site. "We have a specific agreement with Ogilvie and Mather that they will not provide personal identification," Maple said. He said the advertising company uses the data to determine which banner ads are effective, and to tailor the ads to attract more visitors. Maple admitted one of the anti-drug sites operated by the White House drug office and visited by 240,000 parents a month seeking information on drug abuse is itself inserting cookies into the computers of visitors. He said the drug office did not know this until a reporter pointed it out, and Tuesday ordered the contractor to disable the program. "We didn't know it was there," Maple said. "It won't be shortly." Gary Towning, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy account at Ogilvie and Mather, said the use of cookies started only this month "to help us better understand if the (ad) banners are driving people to our site." He said the advertising firm has also bought the rights to link the drug office's ads with several words typed in on search engines, including the word "pot." "We're not tracking individuals. There's nothing identifying here,'' he said. "We're trying to understand our media campaign." Civil liberties lawyers said government tracking of Internet users could raise constitutional questions involving issues of searches without a warrant, and questioned why the government is monitoring citizen's Internet activities. "This is nothing like what was envisioned by members of Congress," said Eric Sterling, former counsel to the House Judiciary Committee. Sterling worked with the panel in 1988 when it drafted the law creating the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy to coordinate the government's anti-drug-use policies. "This is what is fairly called a case of Big Brother, you know as in '1984' where the government is clandestinely tracking you," said Sterling, now president of the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation lobbying group. Maple rejected concerns of civil liberties lawyers. "I can't see anything wrong with it at all,'' he said, adding that the Internet is an ideal technology to reach young people with anti-drug messages.

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] where'd the guns come from?
Did Sayyaf get new guns from generals? http://www.philstar.com/datedata/h21_jun21/edi5.htm - Gotcha by Jarius Bondoc Details just didn't jibe. A high military officer leaked news last week that Abu Sayyaf bandits had smuggled 5,000 modern high-powered guns from Vietnam to Davao on June 1. Gun importers wondered how that can happen when all guns traded in Vietnam are War-vintage M-16s and .45-caliber pistols left behind by retreating US forces in the '70s. Besides, Abu Sayyaf doesn't have that many men -- only 800 in Sulu-Basilan, by AFP estimates -- to handle such huge arsenal. There had to be another source, possibly an industrial power. And it couldn't be for Abu Sayyaf. In fact, AFP camps in Mindanao were abuzz with talk that Vietnam was only a transshipment point. AFP intelligence men noted that the guns were US-made. Quoting information shared by Israel's Mossad, they said these came all the way from the US, bought by Indonesian mercenaries in Manado using Mindanao aid money from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Brunei and Arab billionaire Osama bin Laden. They traced the shipment to Sandakan in Sabah, where it was loaded on two submarines for landing in Davao. From there, it was trucked to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front's main Camp Abubakar in Maguindanao. Secessionist leaders distributed the guns to forces in Lanao, Davao, Cotabato, Surigao, Zamboanga, Basilan Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Palawan. Some guns landed in Abu Sayyaf hands only because the bandits in Sulu-Basilan have dual-membership in MILF. But how could rebels pull such a huge shipment undetected, much more unhampered, by 65,000 government troops -- 60 percent of AFP's strength -- fighting in and around Mindanao? AFP intelligence head Gen. Jose Calimlim provided part of the answer Monday. He said Bin Laden had given $3 million for the arms purchase. Salih Balamul, a deputy of MILF vice chairman Al Haj Murad, had received the cash in Malaysia from a Middle Eastern country on May 6. From there, Balamul oversaw the shipment. What Calimlim didn't mention was other info from Mossad: Balamul was spotted twice in Labuan, also in Sabah, meeting with an AFP general. P25 million changed hands. The deal: Mr. General, with three others in Mindanao (one of them newly-retired but still influential), would look the other way while the MILF landed and moved the guns. They were going to have a war game with the MILF, which they believe they handily can defeat, and make big bucks in the process. No wonder, Mr. General was absent for some time when fighting was at its fiercest in Central Mindanao. * * * The quarrel has worsened among Abu Sayyaf's five Sulu leaders about how to deal with presidential adviser Robert Aventajado. Three of them want to continue negotiating with Aventajado for the release of their 21 mostly foreign hostages. Two want him out, ostensibly for talking about a military rescue, but actually for refusing to talk ransom. As I wrote last week, Nadjmi Sabdullah (Commander Global), Dr. Abu Jumdail and Radulan Sajiron want political concessions in exchange for the release of 21 mostly foreign hostages. Mujib Susukan and Galib Andang (Commander Robot) want only money; thus, they've taken the ten Caucasians deeper into the jungles of their Talipao hometown to fetch a bargain, leaving their comrades with nine Malaysians and two Filipinos. Aventajado has resumed talks with Jumdail, Global and Sajiron, who are demanding the setting up of a separate Islamic state of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan, and the formation of a government commission to look after Tausugs in Sabah. Through emissaries, Susukan and Robot are talking money with envoys of Germany, France, Finland and Malaysia. Having planned and led the kidnapping in Malaysia's Sipadan Island, militarists Susukan and Robot insist that they should lead the talks, not their ideologue higher-ups. Besides, they command more men than the three; Susukan has 100, Robot has 80. Aventajado has pleaded with the envoys not to turn the talks into an auction, lest Susukan and Robot play them against each other for highest bidder. But the envoys are under pressure from their governments to get their hostaged nationals home. Susukan and Robot have dropped their common political demands with the trio. The European envoys had argued, and the two seemed convinced, that separation is nonsense. They cited how Europe is uniting to be big, so why should Mindanao secede to be small. Susukan and Robot also cannot see how the Manila government can form a separate Islamic state, something they should fight for instead of ridiculously asking Manila to do. They view the council on Tausugs as incongruous with secession; if they want to separate, why rely on Manila to take care of provincemates in Sabah? * * * Aventajado called, by the way, to deny my earlier report that MILF thinks he double-crossed them and thus warned Abu Sayyaf about it. He said Maguindanao Sammy Gambar, an aide of MILF's Murad, even briefed him on

What happens to a pyrimide scheme when the s*** hits the fan? Watch FINOVA. When Kemper Marley's agent, Ned Warren, ripped off a half billion dollars with land fraud in Arizona commentators speculated that that was about as big as any financial crime could get. But Charlie Keating and Fife Symington did not believe that and they together ripped of $3.5 billion from SLs here. But what the company that not only owned SOUTHERN AIR TRANSPORT but many of Barry Seal's planes as well is doing today makes these others look like shoplifters. Brian The Arizona Republic: Record Display Six Arizona resorts owned by time-share giant Sunterra Corp. continue to operate despite the company's firing of 900 employees and filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.POrlando-based Sunterra operates five Sedona properties and the 228-room Scottsdale Villa Mirage resort near the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.P ''All of the resorts that we own and operate are operating as usual,'' said Lin Morison, Sunterra chief executive officer. ''The layoffs were here at headquarters and elsewhere in our system.''PA telemarketing office in Scottsdale was closed and 95 jobs were eliminated, company spokeswoman Brenda Adrian said.PThe company has nearly 650 employees in Arizona, including 209 at the Scottsdale resort and 204 at a sales and marketing office, she said.PSunterra filed for Chapter 11 protection on May 31 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Baltimore, listing $1.058 billion in assets and $827.6 million in debts.PThe company has obtained $53 million in financing to continue operating during the reorganization.PSunterra's bankruptcy filing not only raises questions about the company's ability to build and sell more time-share units but it also poses a risk for one of its largest creditors, Scottsdale-based bFinova/b Capital Corp., according to a recent bond credit report by Merrill Lynch Co.PMerrill Lynch estimates Finova's exposure to Sunterra at more than $100 million. Despite the risk, the report said that Sunterra's debt should not hinder a sale of Finova Capital's parent company. Finova Group Inc. announced in early May that it is considering a sale or merger.PSunterra's sales dipped 12 percent in the first quarter of 2000 to $81.6 million. The company lost $15.6 million in the quarter or 43 cents per share, down from a profit of $10 million or 27 cents per share a year ago.PAdvertising and marketing costs also soared in the first quarter. Those costs totaled 60.2 percent of time-share sales this year, compared with 46.1 percent in 1999.PSunterra wrote off $43 million in bad debts last year, which contributed to a fourth-quarter loss of $58.4 million.PIn mid-May, Sunterra announced that it did not make a scheduled payment of $6.47 million on a $140 million debt.PIn the wake of its bankruptcy filing, Sunterra has halted sales at some resorts to cut costs but its most profitable sales offices remain open.PSunterra is one of the world's largest owners and operators of time-share resorts.PSince going public in 1996, Sunterra grew from nine resorts and 25,000 owners to 89 resorts and more than 250,000 owners.PSunterra's northern Arizona properties include the Ridge on Sedona Golf Resort, Sedona Springs, Sedona Summit, Villas of Sedona and Villas at Poco Diablo.

Skolnick As we told you in Part 1, The Government-Criminal Connection has moved their operations just west, northwest, and north of Chicago. And we told you about the Gestapo-like raid on the residence of my associates who assist with our weekly public access Cable TV Show about high-level government corruption. State and local operatives WITHOUT A SEARCH WARRANT, seized our documents and other items for a then upcoming TV show about corruption of the Chicago IRS and the State Revenue Department jointly with the state and federal judges. For our weekly show, we taped a one-hour program called "Corruption: Chicago to the White House". While the unlawful search mess was pending in court, surrogates for the Clinton White House went one step more and also WITHOUT A SEARCH WARRANT, seized the Master Tape of our Show about the high-level corruption of Illinois State and federal officials and judges tied to the White House along with the State Revenue and the Chicago IRS. Just west of Chicago is Du Page County. There, in Court, we demanded the return of our news media items grabbed without legal formalities. Regarding the Judges hearing our demand for the return of these items, we insisted the Judges remove themselves. Why? As we showed in Court, confronting them to their face, we were working on an upcoming TV Show about the one million dollar embezzlement of the Du Page County Bar Association. The rip-off had been covered up by the Chicago IRS and the State Revenue top-level official criminals. And how have the embezzled Bar Association funds been used? To secretly finance Judges in Du Page and nearby counties in their election campaigns, to be put on the bench. Pursuant to our demand, we issued subpoenas for records from the Chief Judge in Du Page, Michael R. Galasso, as well as from Christine Ory, then President of the Du Page County Bar Association. When we confronted them in Court, two of the tainted judges hearing the case did not deny that they were secretly benefitted in getting on the bench from the embezzled Bar funds. Nevertheless, they refused to remove themselves and ordered the subpoenas quashed, thus protecting themselves. Hey, what about the age-old principle of Law that a person must not sit as a Judge in their own case? So we took an appeal to the next higher Court which is one step below Illinois highest tribunal, the Illinois Supreme Court. That is, to the Appellate Court of Illinois, Second District, in Elgin, Illinois. Just as the appeal process started, the Du Page Chief Judge was promoted to the higher court in Elgin. A coincidence, right? And replacing him as Chief Judge---get this---was one of the tainted judges who refused to remove himself. Our undisputed Court papers showed the corrupt background of a number of judges in the area, including some sitting in the Appellate Court in Elgin. For example, we detailed how a Court "bagman" (that is not someone packing groceries at the mart) had from time to time invited, at his expense, various judges to visit his lavish villa in Jamaica. The Judges arrived there, not with their wives, but with their mistresses. The bagman arranged to photograph the Judges cavorting with their mistresses---for blackmail, naturally. [One of the Judges was in on the "fix" of a 58.4 million dollar case in his Court later related to the corruption of Bill Clinton and the embezzlement of an Arkansas bank reportedly by Bill and Hillary.] [The Court bagman, by the way, is still functioning through pals of his in Illinois and Florida. The reputed bagman is the nephew/godson of Bishop Paul Marcinkus, until 1991 head of the Vatican Bank which some contend is mafia/CIA linked.] The Judges on the Illinois Supreme Court are not court-reformers or whistle-blowers. [In 1969, our group touched off the biggest judicial bribery scandal in U.S. history, causing the downfall then of the Illinois high court and two judges were removed and one croaked in the commotion. See some of our other stories about their current corruption regarding Buying A Judgeship.] The Illinois Supreme Court Judges ordered all the Appellate Court Judges in the Second District to step aside. They especially assigned from another district, a three-judge panel to hear and consider our appeal. Sounds like musical chairs, right? That is, three judges from the Appellate Court of Illinois, Third District, Ottawa, Illinois. [Read Part 1 of this series about Ottawa, Illinois and "The Boys".] In running for re-election, earlier in the year 2000, was one of the Third District Judges, Judith E. Koehler, one of the three-judge panel assigned to our appeal. According to various authorities, on primary election day, she reportedly apparently committed criminal

Nasa scientists believe they have found evidence for water currently existing on the surface of Mars. If confirmed, it will mark a turning point in our exploration of the Red Planet. The evidence was chiefly detected in the central part of the mighty Valles Marineris, the 6,000-km long (3,700 miles) canyon that scars the Martian surface. There is abundant evidence that water flowed freely, billions of years ago, on the Martian surface. But water cannot exist on the surface at the moment because the atmosphere is too thin. However, this may not be the case at the bottom of the Valles Marineris or inside deep craters. The complex terrain of the canyon floor includes a great variety of Martian landforms including landslides, volcanic deposits, windblown material and sediments from long-gone seas. Dirty water Parts of the central regions of the canyon are among the lowest parts of Mars, being several kilometres below the average surface level. This makes the atmospheric pressure slightly higher and possibly high enough to support pools of dirty water. Examining images of central regions taken by the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, scientists noticed layered terrains that they suspected were deposited by ancient shallow seas or by water deposits that were once below an ice layer. In this region, Nasa scientists believe they have detected features where brackish water is seeping from beneath the surface. The seepage may be seasonal as it has not been seen in all images of the region. Other scientists say they may have detected the same seepage of water on the walls of at least two craters in other regions of Mars. The depths of the canyon will now become the focus for the search for life on Mars. Pool of potential If life ever developed on Mars in the past, and the evidence from Mars rocks blasted to the Earth is controversial, then it may be hanging on in the damp regions. Testifying before the science committee of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, Nasa's chief said that to look for life on Mars "we should follow the water". At one level, this is not a surprising finding. Scientists know that water once flowed on Mars and that today it is probably trapped beneath the surface. But finding water springs is an unexpected and very welcome discovery. Now, it seems that the water has been found, investigating it will become the main thrust for future Mars exploration. Putting a lander down on the wet surface and looking for life will become a major priority. BBC News, June 21, 2000 - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations.

[CTRL] Computer: Binary Critic - AOL, Time Warner, and the Crash of 2000
from: http://www.computer.org/computer/articles/March/binarycritic300.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.computer.org/computer/articles/March/binarycritic300.htm"Com puter: Binary Critic/A - Binary Critic AOL, Time Warner, and the Crash of 2000 Ted Lewis By fueling expectations that existing technology cannot meet, the merger of AOL and Time Warner could precipitate the largest stock market correction since 1929. Everyone knows that Internet stocks are overvalued and oversubscribed to by speculators and unscrupulous stockbrokers, but few people are taking their money out of the market. Are they extremely clever or is this a national epidemic of irrational exuberance? Will the Internet Bubble burst, as Michael and Tony Perkins claim (The Internet Bubble: Inside the Overvalued World of High-Tech StocksAnd What You Need to Know to Avoid the Coming Shakeout, Harper, 1999)? If it does, will the explosion bring down the entire economy with it? Will the first decade of the new millennium reprise the Great Depression? Expect the Internet Bubble to burst in 2000 and e-business to take a big dip, but dont look for another Great Depression. There is simply too much liquidity in the financial world to let that happen. But we may be in for a bumpy ride, so fasten your seat belts. Take AOL, Please! The merger of AOL and Time Warner may be a sign of the times, but it may also be one reason the Internet Bubble is about to burst. The megabillion dollar deal is already in trouble and may have failed by the time this issue sees print. Even if the AOL-TW deal falls through, expect a similar partnership to grab the spotlight in short orderand to play the same role in the Crash of 2000 that AOL-TW would have. This type of merger simply has too much obvious potential to be ignored. The argument in favor of the AOL-TW merger goes like this: Internet content companies must merge with traditional media companies to reach their true valuations. Without a content company like Time Warner, Disney, or News Corp., AOL really isnt worth its market cap, which more accurately reflects the corporations potential than its reality. Once the AOL-TW deal, or a similar partnership, exposes e-business for the fraud it really is, the whole house of cards will come tumbling down. Merging new media companies like AOL with old media companies like Time Warner can hit the bottom line hard, because the partner companies now base their market valuation on that of the old media company, not the new media company. Nor is this the only problem confronting the AOL-TW deal. From Chat to Flicks In 1994, AOL found itself struggling to acquire and retain customers. Then it did a clever thing: It planted employees in the audience to stir up conversation (Ted Lewis, Insomniac Asylum, The Friction-Free Economy, HarperCollins, 1997). The stickiness of an AOL chat line, called a forum in AOL terminology, went from an average four minutes in 1994 to an average 53 minutes today. This strategy worked so well that AOL bought IRQ (Internet Relay) and evolved the service into Instant Messaging. IM-ing became such a big hit that Microsoft tried to absorb and extend it by grabbing AOLs Instant Messaging customers, resulting in the messaging wars of 1999. But Microsofts MSN proved no match for AOLs 21 million eyeballsAOLs massive Internet market share won the day for the big online service. When it comes to the online world, AOL remains king of the Web. But it wasnt always that way. It took AOL a while to understand what attracts eyeballs and what makes them staysomething Microsoft still hasnt figured out. Thats the good news. The bad news is that AOL must now work hard to keep the vast sea of eyeballs it has attracted. Doing so will require a paradigm shift. AOLs customers essentially created AOLs early content by providing the same services they consumed: chat and instant messaging. Self-generating content has been a perfect model up until now, but there are limits to how many people will listen to themselves talk. Thus AOLand Yahoo, Lycos, and Exciteneed real content. The next phase in the business-to-consumer (B2C) Internet will define an inflection point: Crossing the gap between community-building chat and professionally produced entertainment will be the main e-business driver of the coming decade. In the next phase, AOL, not its users, must provide the content. To increase stickiness from 53 minutes per day to four to six hours per day, AOL must become online cable TV. America Offline? Traditional media such as TV and film require much more bandwidth than online chat and instant messaging. This is where the AOL-TW merger begins to make sense. Time Warner can provide the cable connection plus old media content, while AOL supplies the online technology. The only problem is that deployment of sufficient bandwidth isnt going as planned, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. DSL and digital-cable deployment will take decades.

This is the decision against the State of Massachusetts that we feared would happen. The ramifications are huge, and of course, barely hinted at in these mainstream media articles. Please distribute widely! States Lose Trade Discretion Case By LAURIE ASSEO .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court, ruling that states cannot infringe on the foreign policymaking prerogatives of the U.S. government, made it harder for states to refuse to buy from companies that do business in nations known for human-rights abuses. The court on Monday threw out a Massachusetts law that limits state purchases from companies doing business with Myanmar, also known as Burma. The law is pre-empted by the federal government's own sanctions against Myanmar, the justices said. ``The state act is at odds with the president's intended authority to speak for the United States among the world's nations in developing a comprehensive, multilateral strategy to bring democracy to and improve human rights practices and the quality of life in Burma,'' Justice David H. Souter wrote for the court. The Massachusetts law is similar to the boycotts of South Africa by many states and cities during the apartheid era. However, Souter wrote, ``Since we never ruled on whether state and local sanctions against South Africa in the 1980s were pre-empted or otherwise invalid, arguable parallels between the two sets of federal and state acts do not tell us much about the validity of the latter.'' The decision upholds a federal appeals court decision that invalidated the Massachusetts law. A number of state and local governments, including New York City and Los Angeles, restrict their purchases from companies doing business in countries such as Myanmar and China or the British province of Northern Ireland. During the 1980s, many states and cities protested racial apartheid in South Africa by boycotting companies that sold goods to that nation. Massachusetts - home of the 1773 Boston Tea Party in which colonists dumped tea in Boston Harbor rather than pay taxes to England - argued that it had a right to apply a ``moral standard'' to its spending decisions. But the law was challenged by a group that represents companies involved in foreign trade. Foreign policy must be exclusively controlled by the federal government, the National Foreign Trade Council said, because allowing states and cities to have a variety of foreign-trade policies would harm trade overall. The Clinton administration supported the group, citing the federal government's ``preeminent role in acting for the United States in the international arena.'' The military has ruled Myanmar, one of the world's poorest countries, since 1962. In 1988, the military gunned down thousands of protesters during a crackdown on a pro-democracy uprising. Massachusetts' 1996 law says most companies doing business with Myanmar can sell goods and services to the state only if their bid is 10 percent lower than all other bids. The law makes exceptions for purchases of some medical devices, for newsgathering companies, and for international telecommunications companies. Several months after the Massachusetts law was enacted, Congress imposed its own sanctions on Myanmar. Under the law, President Clinton in 1997 barred new U.S. investments in that country. The National Foreign Trade Council challenged the Massachusetts law in 1998. A federal judge ruled for the council, saying the law unconstitutionally interfered with the federal government's authority to conduct foreign policy. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that ruling and also said the law was pre-empted by the federal sanctions against Myanmar. The Supreme Court upheld that ruling. ``Congress clearly intended the federal act to provide the president with flexible and effective authority over economic sanctions against Burma,'' Souter wrote. ``It is simply implausible that Congress would have gone to such lengths to empower the president if it had been willing to compromise his effectiveness by deference to every provision of state statute or local ordinance'' that might conflict with federal action, Souter added. The case is Crosby vs. National Foreign Trade Council, 99-474.

THE INTELLIGENCE GAP
How the digital age left our spies out in the cold.
BY SEYMOUR M. HERSH
THE National Security Agency, whose Cold War research into code breaking and
electronic eavesdropping spurred the American computer revolution, has become
a victim of the high-tech world it helped to create. Through mismanagement,
arrogance, and fear of the unknown, the senior military and civilian
bureaucrats who work at the agency's headquarters, in suburban Fort Meade,
Maryland, have failed to prepare fully for today's high-volume flow of E-mail
and fibre-optic transmissions -- even as nations throughout Europe, Asia, and
the Third World have begun exchanging diplomatic and national-security
messages encrypted in unbreakable digital code.
The N.S.A.'s failures don't make the headlines. In May, 1998, India's first
round of nuclear tests, which took place in Pokharan, southwest of New Delhi,
caught Washington by surprise, and provoked criticism of the Central
Intelligence Agency from the press and from Congress. But it was the N.S.A.,
in the days and weeks before the detonations, that did not detect signs of
increased activity or increased communications at Pokharan. "It's a tough
problem," one nuclear-intelligence expert told me, because India's
nuclear-weapons establishment now sends encrypted digital messages by
satellite, using small dishes that bounce signals beyond the stratosphere
through a system known as VSAT ("very small aperture terminal") -- a two-way
version of the system widely used for DirecTV.
Similarly, the North Koreans, with the help of funds from the United Nations,
according to one United States intelligence official, have bought encrypted
cell phones from Europe, high-speed switching gear from Britain, and
up-to-date dialling service from America -- a system that the N.S.A. cannot
readily read. The official said of the North Koreans,"All their military
stuff went off ether into fibre" -- from high-frequency radio transmission to
fibre-optic cable lines, which transmit a vast volume of digital data as a
stream of light. A former high-level Defense Department official told me,
"It's a worldwide problem. You could wire up all of Africa for less than two
billion dollars." This former official, like most of the two dozen
signals-intelligence (SIGINT) experts interviewed for this account, agreed to
speak only after being assured of anonymity. A 1951 federal law prohibits any
discussion or publication of communications intelligence.
The decline of the N.S.A. is widely known in Washington's national-security
community. "The dirty little secret is that fibre optics and encryption are
kicking Fort Meade in the nuts," a recently retired senior officer in the
C.I.A.'s Directorate of Operations told me. "It's over. Everywhere I went in
the Third World, I wanted to have someone named Ahmed, a backhoe driver, on
the payroll. And I wanted to know where the fibre-optic cable was hidden. In
a crisis, I wanted Ahmed to go and break up the cable, and force them up in
the air" -- that is, force communications to be broadcast by radio signals.
The number of daily satellite-telephone calls in the Arab world, many of
which are encrypted, is in the millions, creating severe difficulties for
eavesdroppers. The mobile-telephone system used by Saddam Hussein at the
height of Iraq's dispute last year with a United Nations arms-control
inspection team operated on more than nine hundred channels. Each channel was
separately encrypted, with multiple keys, and Saddam's conversations bounced
from channel to channel with each call. A U.N. intelligence team eventually
gained access to the telephone system's technical manuals and other data, and
was able to record the encrypted conversations, but without these materials
it could not have made sense of the intercepts. The code-makers are leaving
the code-breakers far behind.
IN its heyday, during the Cold War, the N.S.A. had nearly ninety-five
thousand employees, more than half of them military, monitoring
communications from hundreds of sites around the world. It played a dominant
role in American intelligence gathering behind the Iron Curtain and
elsewhere, producing by the end of the nineteen-sixties more than a thousand
intelligence reports a day. The N.S.A.'s intercepts were the government's
most reliable and important sources of intelligence on the Soviet Union --
far outstripping the intelligence collected by the C.I.A. and its agents
abroad. In Western Europe, N.S.A. linguists and Army G.I.s sat in unmarked
vans monitoring the daily conversations of Soviet tank units on the other
side of the Berlin Wall. In the

from: http://www.dss.mil/aboutdss/index.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.dss.mil/aboutdss/index.htm"ABOUT DSS/A - How We Serve the Department of Defense DSS provides security services to the Department of Defense (DoD) and is under the direction, authority, and control of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence). Formerly known as the Defense Investigative Service (DIS), DoD Reform Initiative #2 redesignated DIS as the Defense Security Service (DSS) in November 1997 in recognition of its broader mission and functions. This directive also included the integration of the DoD Polygraph Institute, the Personnel Security Research Center (PERSEREC), and the DoD Security Institute (DoDSI) into the organizational structure of DSS. If you would like to know more about Department of Defense organizations, we invite you to visit the Defenselink Web site. Our Contributions to National Security DSS has three primary missions: the Personnel Security Investigations Program (PSI), the Industrial Security Program (ISP), and Security Education and Training. The Personnel Security Investigations Program DSS conducts more than 150,000 personnel security investigations annually under the Personnel Security Investigations Program (PSI). These investigations are used by DoD adjudicative facilities to determine an individual's suitability to enter the armed forces, to access classified information, or to hold a sensitive position within DoD. The Industrial Security Program The DSS Industrial Security Program (ISP) includes the Defense portion of the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), the Arms, Ammunition and Explosives Program (AAE), and the Critical Assets Assurance Program (CAAP). The NISP was established to ensure that private industry and colleges and universities, while performing government contracts or research and development, safeguard classified information in their possession. DSS also provides security advice and assistance, counterintelligence support and industrial security oversight to cleared civilian contractor facilities performing on classified contracts. The Security Education and Training Program The DSS Academy provides security education and training programs to support DSS components, DoD agencies, and DoD Military Departments and Contractors. The functions of the Academy include the development and implementation of security education, training, and awareness programs; research and development functions; and career development programs. The Academy offers formal classroom training, computer-based training, correspondence and distance learning, and tele-training. The Role of DSS Counterintelligence Office One of the unique features and advantages of our security services is the integration of counterintelligence into our mission areas through training, policy development, and operational support. The CI Office works closely with the DSS field elements, Military Departments, and other federal agencies in the development and referral of CI issues detected during the course of a PSI or advice and assistance visits at cleared contractor facilities or both.

[CTRL] Army PSYOP in Bosnia: Capabilities and Constraints

Go to Summer issue Table of Contents. Go to Cumulative Article Index. "Words are the new weapons, satellites the new artillery. . . . Caesar had his officers; Napoleon had his armies. I have my divisions: TV, news, magazines." -- Archvillain Elliot Carver to James Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies While it is true that implementation of the Dayton Agreement in Bosnia-Herzegovina has proceeded much more peacefully than many predicted,[1] it is also true that the US peacekeeping forces have maintained vigil over this Balkan country for much longer than was anticipated or advertised. Since the US commitment to Bosnia is now acknowledged to be open-ended,[2] it is important to consider how to influence attitudes and emotions in a way that will allow the ethnic groups in this area to live with one another without a permanent foreign presence guaranteeing security. There are many methods to change attitudes and shape behavior in Bosnia--economic and military pressure to name just two. However, not all approaches are as invasive as these two elements of power. A more subtle, certainly more neglected, but potentially longer-lasting element of power is information. The principal tool available for the NATO-led Implementation Force (IFOR) and Stabilization Force (SFOR)[3] to influence attitudes in Bosnia has been military psychological operations (PSYOP) forces, and most of the PSYOP forces accessible to NATO are in the US Army. The contribution of these forces has been laudable, but there have been many missed opportunities as well as misunderstandings over the last three and a half years regarding what PSYOP can and cannot do.[4] This article examines the performance of PSYOP forces in Bosnia, offering recommendations on how to improve this vital part of the US contribution. With US military involvement in Bosnia planned to continue for some time--and, as this article is being written, with US and NATO forces striking targets in Serbia and Kosovo--such examination is critically important. Centralized vs. Decentralized Approaches Leaders of military PSYOP are finding it difficult to meet the demands of a post-Cold War military increasingly involved in military operations other than war. Applicable US government policy and PSYOP doctrine reflect a "top-down," centrally controlled, deliberate approach. PSYOP product approval authority is normally delegated by the geographic Commander-in-Chief (CINC) to the Joint Forces Commander.[5] This arrangement is satisfactory in a quickly evolving mid- to high-intensity conflict like Desert Storm where the focus is the decisive application of maneuver and firepower, but in a peacekeeping operation, where tactical commanders need a high degree of local autonomy in order to be responsive, it creates great difficulties. Because of the need to support tactical elements as completely as possible, the PSYOP Task Force often expends an inordinate amount of resources creating, staffing, and producing tactical PSYOP products with limited distribution instead of focusing upon electronic media, such as radio and television, which can affect the entire theater. As a consequence, even in this CNN age, PSYOP forces are too focused on the use of the traditional and less-powerful PSYOP tools of leaflets, loudspeakers, and handbills. As noted by one flag officer in Bosnia, "You [PSYOP] guys still want to play with your loudspeakers and leaflets all the time and don't realize the power of television. . . . [PSYOP] should concentrate 90 percent of its effort [in Bosnia] toward television and the rest toward newspapers and radio."[6] To remain relevant, PSYOP must demonstrably influence audiences in an increasingly sophisticated international information environment. Under the current doctrinal approach and policy constraints, it is difficult imagining PSYOP forces becoming the "military CNN" that supported commanders expect. Without a fundamental change in the way PSYOP forces are permitted to conduct day-to-day functions, they can never co-opt the information cycle of a sophisticated adversary such as the indigenous media in Bosnia.[7] PSYOP has a vital role to play in the effective use of military force. This is especially so as the world becomes increasingly urban and interconnected through the internet and satellite television, media which decrease the likelihood that US forces can use force against an adversary indiscriminately.
[CTRL] The New Mercenaries and the Privatization of Conflict
from: http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/99summer/adams.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/99summer/adams.htm"PARAME TERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Sum /A - The New Mercenaries and the Privatization of Conflict THOMAS K. ADAMS © 1999 Thomas K. Adams From Parameters, Summer 1999, pp. 103-16. Go to Summer issue Table of Contents. Go to Cumulative Article Index. In January 1999, the Ethiopian air force was proudly demonstrating its newly acquired Su-27 fighter-bombers when suddenly one aircraft lost an engine and plunged toward the ground. The pilot ejected in a burst of pyrotechnics and parachuted safely to a landing near the spectators, but when he removed his flight helmet a very European face emerged, that of Colonel Vyacheslav Myzin, formerly of the Russian air force. Colonel Myzin is one of the new mercenaries.[1] A certain amount of near-hysteria has been generated in the past few years by the issue of privatized military elements such as the colonel, loosely characterized as mercenaries. The United Nations and some African states (some of whom hire mercenaries) have been especially vociferous in this regard. Nevertheless, the realities of the 21st century will make it inevitable that so-called mercenaries will play a greater role than in the past. It is a very old practice for rulers to fight some or all of their wars by hiring foreigners, militarily skilled groups and individuals who have no special ideological stake in the conflict at hand. Loosely speaking, these hired soldiers are grouped together as "mercenaries." At the dawn of the 21st century, when various entities (states, corporations, political movements, etc.) find themselves in need of military or large-scale security services, hiring mercenaries is an obvious recourse. When even major states are reducing their armed forces and showing less interest in foreign military adventures because of pinched economic circumstances and a changed political environment, smaller states may be doubly motivated to go the presumably cheaper mercenary route. During the 1990s a number of corporations termed "international security firms" or "private military companies" have sprung up to service this demand. These are distinguished from ordinary security firms that provide building watchmen and the like, essentially private guards. Such local security firms have limited functions and neither use nor provide training in military methods, leadership, or equipment. The new international security firms, however, embody all those features. A 1997 study by the private Center for Defense Information lists dozens of such organizations with international operations. South Africa has been the leading home of international security companies, including Executive Outcomes, Combat Force, Investments Surveys, Honey Badger Arms and Ammunition, Shield Security, Kas Enterprises, Saracen International, and Longreach Security. International military firms based in other parts of the world include Alpha Five, Corporate Trading International, Omega Support Ltd., Parasec Strategic Concept, Jardine Securicor Gurkha Services (Hong Kong), Gurkha Security Guards (Isle of Man, UK), Special Project Service Ltd. (UK), Defence Systems Ltd. (UK), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Vinnell Corporation (US), and Military Professional Resources Inc. (US).[2] Executive Outcomes (South Africa) has been described as "the world's first fully equipped corporate army."[3] None of these would describe itself as a mercenary force, since the term is loaded with negative connotations. At best, it recalls images of colorful adventurers, not the sort of solid, reliable image these firms are anxious to project. The inexact term "mercenary" is often used as a term of opprobrium, applied to any police, military, or paramilitary which the user dislikes. At the extremes, it is applied to ordinary private guards and security personnel and to any person who is paid for military-related services, including the paid professional armies of modern nation-states.[4] For purposes of this discussion, we will use the ordinary language definition of a mercenary: individuals or organizations who sell their military skills outside their country of origin and as an entrepreneur rather than as a member of a recognized national military force. The particular emphasis here is on those groups organized as corporations that provide such services. Growth, History, and Definitions In 1994, the United Nations became sufficiently alarmed about the increasing use of mercenaries to appoint an official to investigate the issue. Enrique Bernales Ballesteros, the UN Special Rapporteur on Mercenaries, reported a growing number of hired fighters appearing in Zaire, Angola, Rwanda, Tajikistan, Armenia,

Go to Cumulative Article Index. Leadership in Literature HENRY G. GOLE © 1999 Henry G. Gole Military journals, the popular press, and glossy copy from the Department of the Army tell us that high-tech is in. Photos of soldiers with one each of everything from RadioShack draping their bodies confirm it: scientism, voiced in New Age incantations--like "total information dominance"--is the right stuff of future wars. High-tech solutions, promising bloodless victories in war, are attractive in the homeland of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Alva Edison, and Bill Gates. Americans willingly spend dollars to spare lives. But if antiseptic victory via missiles entering doors and windows without knocking seems too good to be true, it probably is. Exaggerated claims for high-tech tend to characterize war as gallery games played by warm, dry, and well-fed geeks. Icons, feeling neither fear nor discomfort, zap other icons, or are themselves gezapped. Reality becomes blips on screens accompanied by audio dissonance, obscuring a brutal fact: decisive combat sooner or later pits our tough kids against their tough kids in one of the world's back alleys, where the weather is always bad, communications always break down, and the action always occurs at the junction of four map sheets. Bad decisions can put our warriors in the wrong place, and poor leadership can squander elite formations. Victory in war requires more than gadgets. And it is seldom bloodless. Menschenführung, one of those clumsy-precise German words, means leading human beings. That is our subject. Field Manual 100-5, Operations, says what leadership does: it provides purpose, direction, and motivation in combat. And it is important. Combat power comes from the courage and competence of soldiers, training, equipment, doctrine, "and above all, the quality of their leadership." Field Manual 22-103, Leadership for Senior Leaders, defines leadership as the "art of direc t and indirect influence and the skill of creating the conditions for sustained organizational success to achieve the desired result." We once learned a simpler formulation, that leadership was gaining the willing cooperation of our troops, but the definitions are compatible. The former reflects the organizational concern of high command, the latter the eyeball-to-eyeball relationship in which leaders share with their soldiers the hazards and hardships of combat. Definitions, axioms, pet theories, and checklists abound, but leadership, like sex, is a doing thing. Command Climate The US Army War College's 1970 Study On Military Professionalism addressed the difference between saying and doing, finding a command climate "in which there is disharmony between traditional, accepted ideals (summarized as Duty, Honor, Country) and the prevailing institutional pressures." Here is a pregnant excerpt: A scenario that was repeatedly described in seminar sessions and narrative responses [to questionnaires] includes an ambitious, transitory commander . . . engulfed in producing statistical results, fearful of personal failure, too busy to talk with or listen to his subordinates, and determined to submit acceptably optimistic reports which reflect faultless completion of a variety of tasks at the expense of the sweat and frustration of his subordinates. The damning study rocked Army leadership, not least because respondents were front-runners in the grab for the brass ring, not embittered losers. They were faculty and students at the War College, students at the Command and General Staff College, and others deeply knowledgeable of the officer corps. The Army published the findings and briefed them to US Army audiences around the world. The rot revealed in the 1970 study antedated our war in Vietnam. "Zero defects," white rocks, starched fatigues, and spit-shined jump boots worn in the field were some of the manifestations of the victory of form over substance, a constant and insidious military proclivity. Scientific management and graduate study for officers were in vogue. In the 1990s, the outward signs of form over substance are field grade officers grinding out slick PowerPoint briefing charts (a task once performed by junior enlisted soldiers or the people in "graphics"). This show-and-tell is accompanied by a highly centralized system which, in unholy alliance with the selling of high-tech in the glib
[CTRL] China: Restoring the Middle Kingdom

Go to Summer issue Table of Contents. Go to Cumulative Article Index. In a competition for influence in Asia, China has surged ahead over the past year with a clear strategy intended to reach discernible objectives while the United States has struggled with a vague doctrine that seemed to lack purpose. In short, Beijing has flourished while Washington has floundered. The ambition of Chinese leaders is to restore their nation to its traditional place as the Middle Kingdom, the suzerain of Asia to which other nations must render homage. As to their strategy, Chinese leaders have evinced little intention of conquering their neighbors with military force but rather to acquire such political and economic power that no major decision would be made in any Asian capital without Beijing's approval.[1] In contrast, the Clinton Administration, which began its second term with promises of raising the level of US attention to Asia, has articulated no comprehensive policy about that region, particularly toward China. Washington policymakers, seemingly unaware of China's ambitions and strategy, have propounded a vague doctrine of "engagement" and have been caught off-guard by events, notably the Asian financial crisis that began in July 1997. As President Clinton prepares for a trip to China in late June 1998, the strategic equation between the United States and China is asymmetric: Militarily, the Chinese appear to have come to realize the superiority of US armed forces, at least for the next few years. China continues to modernize its forces but has not beaten the war drums for two years and seems eager to avoid a confrontation with the United States. Politically, China has engaged in what a US official called "an explosion of diplomacy" as Beijing has sought to secure China's borders in a complete circle. President Jiang Zemin's visits to United States, Canada, and Mexico in 1997 were an extension of that campaign. Economically, China has stolen a march on the United States and Japan to emerge as the major power most concerned with helping Asian nations overcome their financial crises. China has begun to reform its own economy and has pledged to be a "safe island" for its stricken neighbors. In sum, China's leaders appear to be positioning their nation to dominate Asia by political, not military, power and intend either to ease the United States into withdrawing or to permit US interests to prosper only on Beijing's sufferance. The buzzword in Asia today is "hegemony," and even as Beijing denies seeking such preeminence, its actions are drawn from a concept as ancient as China itself. Indeed, the ideographs for the name of China, Chung Kuo, mean the Middle Kingdom, a concept originating in the Spring and Autumn Annals of the eighth century B.C., when the Chinese began to fashion the notion of a kingdom superior to others surrounding it. Through the centuries, belief in the Middle Kingdom has endured even as the Chinese were made subservient in turn to the Mongols, the Manchus, and the West. American scholar John King Fairbank foresaw the emergence of a modern Middle Kingdom 40 years ago when he wrote that China's communist leaders "are the heirs of the imperial tradition of the Middle Kingdom--they refuse to be a second-rate nation." Chinese strategy to restore the Middle Kingdom began to take shape about two years ago, after the People's Liberation Army (PLA) had conducted land, sea, and air exercises, plus missile firings, on the shores opposite Taiwan, the island that Beijing considers a breakaway province. Those maneuvers were intended to intimidate Taiwan into foregoing a declaration of independence. But the United States, which has insisted for a quarter century that resolving the Taiwan question must be peaceful, dispatched two aircraft carriers to the waters east of Taiwan while vigorous diplomatic warnings were sent to Beijing. The Chinese backed down, partly because they lacked sufficient amphibious forces to cross the Taiwan Strait. In addition, China had been surprised by Southeast Asian resistance to its probes into the South China Sea, where several nations have small but effective modern navies. Altogether, that seems to have caused Chinese leaders to realize that their People's Liberation Army would not be a credible threat for a decade and possibly longer. Even so, Defense Minister Chi Haotian stunned American officers in December 1996 by delivering what many considered to be a bellicose speech at the National

DUNLAP, JR. From Parameters, Winter 1992-93, pp. 2-20. Go to Cumulative Article Index. The letter that follows takes us on a darkly imagined excursion into the future. A military coup has taken place in the United States--the year is 2012--and General Thomas E. T. Brutus, Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Armed Forces of the United States, now occupies the White House as permanent Military Plenipotentiary. His position has been ratified by a national referendum, though scattered disorders still prevail and arrests for acts of sedition are underway. A senior retired officer of the Unified Armed Forces, known here simply as Prisoner 222305759, is one of those arrested, having been convicted by court-martial for opposing the coup. Prior to his execution, he is able to smuggle out of prison a letter to an old War College classmate discussing the "Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012." In it, he argues that the coup was the outgrowth of trends visible as far back as 1992. These trends were the massive diversion of military forces to civilian uses, the monolithic unification of the armed forces, and the insularity of the military community. His letter survives and is here presented verbatim. It goes without saying (I hope) that the coup scenario above is purely a literary device intended to dramatize my concern over certain contemporary developments affecting the armed forces, and is emphatically not a prediction. -- The Author Dear Old Friend, It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed since we graduated from the War College! Remember the great discussions, the trips, the parties, the people? Those were the days!!! I'm not having quite as much fun anymore. You've heard about the Sedition Trials? Yeah, I was one of those arrested--convicted of "disloyal statements," and "using contemptuous language towards officials." Disloyal? No. Contemptuous? You bet! With General Brutus in charge it's not hard to be contemptuous. I've got to hand it to Brutus, he's ingenious. After the President died he somehow "persuaded" the Vice President not to take the oath of office. Did we then have a President or not? A real "Constitutional Conundrum" the papers called it.[1] Brutus created just enough ambiguity to convince everyone that as the senior military officer, he could--and should--declare himself Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Armed Forces. Remember what he said? "Had to fill the power vacuum." And Brutus showed he really knew how to use power: he declared martial law, "postponed" the elections, got the Vice President to "retire," and even moved into the White House! "More efficient to work from there," he said. Remember that? When Congress convened that last time and managed to pass the Referendum Act, I really got my hopes up. But when the Referendum approved Brutus's takeover, I knew we were in serious trouble. I caused a ruckus, you know, trying to organize a protest. Then the Security Forces picked me up. My quickie "trial" was a joke. The sentence? Well, let's just say you won't have to save any beer for me at next year's reunion. Since it doesn't look like I'll be seeing you again, I thought I'd write everything down and try to get it to you. I am calling my paper the "Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012." I think it's important to get the truth recorded before they rewrite history. If we're ever going to get our freedom back, we've got to understand how we got into this mess. People need to understand that the armed forces exist to support and defend government, not to be the government. Faced with intractable national problems on one hand, and an energetic and capable military on the other, it can be all too seductive to start viewing the military as a cost-effective solution. We made a terrible mistake when we allowed the armed forces to be diverted from their original purpose. I found a box of my notes and clippings from our War College days--told my keepers I needed them to write the confession they want. It's amazing; looking through these old papers makes me realize that even back in 1992 we should have seen this coming. The seeds of this outrage were all there; we just didn't realize how they would grow. But isn't that always the way with things like this? Somebody once said that "the true watersheds in human affairs are seldom spotted amid the tumult of headlines broadcast on the hour."[2] And we had a lot of headlines back in the '90s to distract us: The economy was in the dumps, crime was

[CTRL] The American Political Culture and Strategic Planning

DOWNEY and STEVEN METZ From Parameters, September 1988, pp. 34-42. Go to Cumulative Article Index. The job of the military strategist is not an easy one. In addition to dealing with dangerous enemies, unreliable or vulnerable allies, and inadequate resources, he must also confront the distractions of politics. However much the strategist might prefer to ignore it, both the objectives of strategy and the context of strategy formulation are political. Simultaneously balancing the dictates of politics and the need to deter or defeat an enemy is perhaps the core dilemma of strategy formulation. All strategic advice must pass three tests: it must be suitable, feasible, and acceptable.[1] Suitability and feasibility can accurately be called the rational criteria of strategy formulation. Tests for suitability and feasibility are admittedly complex and require mature professional judgment, but reduce well to a linear, almost mathematical thought process. Since they are prepared by training and education, most officers have little trouble with this. Acceptability, however, is partly rational and partly not. It requires the strategist to assess not only military costs, but also the preferences, moods, values, and proclivities of decisionmakers and the public. The test for strategic acceptability, in others words, is based in a political as well as strategic culture. Every nation has a political culture which comprises the context of strategy.[2] It is the source of the nonrational criteria for strategy formulation and is composed of preferences, values, and proclivities derived from the nation's historical experience, ideology, and political and economic organization.[3] Political culture provides the equivalent of battlefield friction that erodes the cold rationality of the strategic process. A strategy that fails to integrate the political culture, however well it may meet the rational criteria of suitability and feasibility, is doomed to failure. This is particularly true in the United States, where civilians dominate national decisionmaking, public opinion affects strategic choices, and separate military subcultures exist. As Liddell Hart noted, "He who pays the piper calls the tune, and strategists might be better paid in kind if they attuned their strategy, so far as is rightly possible, to the popular ear."[4] This means that the sensitivity of the military strategist to political culture helps determine the eventual acceptability of his product. American political culture is particularly complex and changes rapidly, but there are certain constants and enduring themes. While there is little the military strategist can do to transcend the distractions of politics, understanding key themes of the political culture is the first step in assuring that his advice passes the test of acceptability. Attitudes Toward Time Americans often behave as if the world were created in 1945. In US foreign policy there is little of the deep sense of history that pervades the statecraft of European and Asian nations. This should not be surprising: obsession with new things is central to American culture. Whether in popular songs, clothing, automobiles, breakfast cereal, or public policy, the newest is usually considered the best. The American culture is decidedly anticlassical, and history books are thus considered dusty obstacles to a schoolboy's graduation rather than reservoirs of guidance on the motives and intentions of other states. The successful strategist must overcome this narrowness of historical vision, and integrate deeper antecedents into his analysis. At the same time, he must be sensitive to this characteristic of the American political culture, and package strategic advice in such a way that its newness is accentuated. Even when "old wine" is best, the strategist must sometimes decant it into new bottles. A clear example is seen in the current development of a strategy for low-intensity conflict. Much of this is derived from 1960s-style counterinsurgency-experience, but anything labeled "LIC strategy" stands a better chance of acceptance than "counterinsurgency strategy," which smacks of defeat in Vietnam and thus is politically unpalatable. Even those dimensions of counterinsurgency doctrine which have stood the test of time must be repackaged so as to appear new. The desire for quick and conclusive resolution of conflict is closely linked to this narrowness of historical vision. Impatience places the United States at a decided disadvantage when dealing with steadfast antagonists such as the North Vietnamese or Soviets.[5] The US electoral cycle accentuates

As we read these accounts we should ask, can we really expect that PM officers will ever produce intelligence? Did we not run a PM war in Vietnam for years without ever understanding the other side? Did we not conduct a PM war in Afghanistan that led to the creation of "International Terrorism?" Did not all PM wars contribute to the international drug traffic? Did not the CIA's committment to paramilitary wars engage this country in many other destructive activities? In a speech in October 1998, by John Millis, Staff Director of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), he dicussed the future of the CIA. Millis is a former CIA operations who became Staff Director of HPSCI in 1997. Mr. Millis said re CIA paramilitary operations: "We believe we have to keep a very strong paramilitary capability on the shelf for the Directorate of Operations. It's always hard to anticipate what the next crisis is going to be, but we can be sure that it will be there. And the paramilitary capability the DO has is uniquely well suited for many of the types of situations that we're seeing around the world." The reference item on Tony Poe said: "...his life helped to create the greatest cinema icon to come of the Vietnam war. This man...is the real Colonel Kurtz, whose fictional counterpart was played by Marlon Brando in Francis Ford Coppola's epic movie Apocalypse Now... The reality of the Kurtz legend is far stranger than fiction... [It] confirmed the existence of a US super-spy code-named Upin. Upin was a pararmilitary expertLike the fictional Kurtz, he recruited a private army of 10,000 tribesmen, married a princess turned his back on the US and became as savage as the jungle he made his home." ...Agent Upin, also known as Pat Gibbs, was Anthony Poshepny, one of the CIA's most notorious and effective agents deployed in the Vietnam war. Orders were to enter Laos illegally in 1961 and conduct a secret war against the communists that would be denied in Congress and hidden from the US public" Ralph McGehee

[CTRL] Fwd: [RMNEWS] ELEVEN DAYS -- FOUR RIOTS -- ANARCHISTS -- BLACK PANTHERS --WHAT'S NEXT?
==RUMOR MILL NEWS AGENCY=== Rayelan Allan, Publisher From the Rumor Mill News Read Only Forum ELEVEN DAYS -- FOUR RIOTS -- WHAT'S NEXT? Posted By: RUMORMILLNEWS [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, 20 June 2000, 11:36 p.m. ELEVEN DAYS -- FOUR RIOTS -- WHAT'S NEXT? So much has happened in the last eleven days that it appears we are getting ready to see the long, hot summer of anarchy, rape and race riots that RMNews Sources have predicted. Sunday, June 11th – WOMEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED IN CENTRAL PARK The current set of events started in New York’s Central Park after a Puerto Rican parade. Over 40 women were attacked, stripped, and sexually assaulted. Friday, June 16th NEW BLACK PANTHERS, IN FULL UNIFORM, CARRYING AK 47'S DEMONSTRATE IN HOUSTON Next came the New Black Panthers who marched on a Republican meeting in Houston. They were in uniform and fully armed with AK 47's. They demanded that Texas reverse the death penalty for a prisoner on death row. Monday, June 19th ANARCHISTS RIOT IN OREGON Then came the Anarchists who rioted in Oregon on the anniversary of another anarchist riot one year before. Tuesday, June 20th RIOT AFTER BASKETBALL GAME IN LOS ANGELES The last incident in this current set of four occurred in Los Angeles where riots broke out after a basketball game. Are these isolated incidents? Or is there something that draws all of these events together? Is there a shadow network of operatives who are “handling” each one of these events? Are these being orchestrated to divert our attention from other more important things, or are they being staged to bring on martial law and the takeover of the United States by a One World Goverment? In December of 1999, Rumor Mill News placed a video on our Forum. It was called “Times Square Military Assault”. (A transcript of the video is attached.) The video was a training video that was made to show operatives of a clandestine operations group, what the area in New York City looked like so they could better understand their mission. Many people did not feel the video could be real. Rumor Mill was told that it was made in order to derail a race war that was going to be incited by the NWO in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. Turning the races, the genders, and the economic classes against each other has been the plan of the NWO for over 50 years. They divide in order to conquer. If the race war had been successfully launched, the United States would have been engulfed in riots of all types. Martial “rule” would have been imposed, United Nation troops would have been brought in to maintain the peace, and the America we knew would be history. The event in Central Park 11 days ago, reminded me of the central theme of the Times Square Video. A white woman, who was a member of the special operations team, was scheduled to bestripped naked and raped by black men. This was the fuse that would ignite the race war – the race war would bring about martial law which would allow the government to eliminate all the undesirables. After the undesirables are gone, the United States would be reformed under a One world Government. As said before, this divide and conquer scenario has been on the books for at least 50 years. Are the events of the last 11 days precursors to even more violence? Will the Mexican border war erupt into a race war between Hispanics and Whites? Will the New Black Panthers create an incident that causes a race war? Even though these events have been planned for 50 years, can we somehow avert them? Or do we have to go through them in order to wake up and realize how good we have had it. STRIPPED NAKED, VIDEO TAPED AND RAPED The above words were used by the women who were attacked in Central Park. The husband of a French woman who was attacked, told Fox News, "the marauders threw her down and stripped her naked" Another victim, Anne Peyton Bryant -- in an interview on FOXNEWS, talked about the gang who threw her to the ground and tried to rip off her clothes. She said, "...they got a white girl." The following sentence is taken from the transcript of Times Square Military Assault video. Notice how similar it is to what was said by Anne Peyton Bryant and the French husband. “OK, so our girl is gonna go and do her thing right here. She's jumped, she's stripped and she's screamin' by 23:10.” The above was said by the commander of the operation. The team had a member who was a white girl. The Black members of the special operations group will attack her, strip her and try to rape her. She will start screaming, just as the girls in Central Park started screaming. “It would be just like the NWO to stage a racial incident where a white woman is attacked by black men in Times Square. This incident would be used to bring about planned chaos and martial law.” http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=449 Four events have

On 30 August 1996, elements of the Southern Bloc of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or FARC), comprising some 400 combatants, executed a daring attack against a Colombian army company-sized outpost in Las Delicias in the Putumayo Department. Among the noteworthy aspects of this attack were the use of a mock-up of the objective for guerrilla rehearsals, the infiltration of guerrillas among the soldiers of the army garrison, and the use of mortars and explosive breaching charges. The insurgents successfully overpowered the 120-man garrison and captured half its troops.[1] The attack on Las Delicias was unprecedented in both its intensity and sophistication, and it marked a turning point in the four-decade history of the organization. How could Colombia, a liberal democratic state with, until recently, one of the best-performing economies in Latin America, have produced an insurgency of the size, resilience, and intensity of FARC? The question deserves consideration for the following reasons: (1) The drug activities that take place in areas that are under FARC control have a direct consequence on the United States. (2) The violence and narcotics activities in Colombia are increasingly having a perverse effect on other countries in the region. (3) Much like Kosovo, the humanitarian plight of many Colombians may reach the threshold where it will become difficult for the international community to ignore it. FARC is Latin America's largest surviving rebel army.[2] It is a communist insurgent organization that is the product of both unique social opportunities and the common interests of fringe groups within Colombian society. Insurgent groups in general capitalize on means, motives, and opportunities to mobilize resources on their behalf.[3] The resurgence of FARC over the last decade is best understood in terms of how it has mobilized resources in its contest with the Colombian state. Entrepreneurial Socialism Rhetorically, the objectives of FARC have remained largely unchanged throughout its existence. The group seeks to overthrow the ruling order in Colombia and to drive out what it perceives to be the imperialist influences of the United States in Latin America.[4] FARC still publicly clings to its Marxist-Leninist platform of massive redistribution of land and wealth, state control of natural resources, and large-scale government spending on social welfare. Additionally, the group's predilection for attacking economic targets has placed it squarely at odds with both domestic and international business interests.[5] FARC's brand of socialism has traditionally fallen flat on the Colombian political stage and has had no success as a mobilizing frame beyond the smallest constituencies. The group's success during the current decade stems from the crafting of a new and largely apolitical motive of self-interest that has connected with several dissimilar groups: migrant and landowning coca-peasants, drug trafficking organizations, and, increasingly, disaffected individuals in urban areas. In an effort to resurrect itself at the start of the 1990s, FARC expanded its participation in a number of criminal enterprises in order to compensate for a loss of external support. These economic activities have become so dominant and lucrative that they are now seen as an end in themselves. This has led many outside observers to question how committed FARC really is to seizing power. Rather than seeking to change the social order in Colombia, the organization appears more interested in preserving the anarchic status quo that has allowed its criminal activities to thrive. Beyond the financial and logistical benefits of FARC's economic initiatives, it seems certain that the success of these efforts has also enhanced recruitment. Long viewed as providing a life of danger and unlimited hardship, the insurgency has doubtlessly attracted new members from among the underprivileged class thanks in part to the success of its criminal enterprises. The group's strength is believed to have grown from a low of about 1,000 in the 1980s to about 15,000 today.[6] While some members of the group's core cadre may still hold the dream of someday seizing power, many in the organization seem more concerned with the short-term personal benefits they can draw from participating in criminal activities. In this respect, its members

Re: [CTRL] Tarot Card Assassins
IIRC, the earliest known Tarot deck dates from 15th or 16th century France. The "Egyptian" connection alleged for the cards only appears after the French conquest of Egypt under Napoleon, when everything Egyptian became all the rage; self-proclaimed "authorities" on the occult such as Papus and Eliphas Lévi, not to mention the Order of the Golden Dawn, were primary vectors for this "revelation." Crowley's identification of the Tarot as "the Book of Thoth" also contributes to the belief that the Tarot is Egyptian in origin. The cards can be used for divination -- to "predict the future" -- although their accuracy is about on a par with that of econometrics, which is to say, very poor. What they are VERY good for, IME, is divining what's going on inside yourself...and this, as it happens, is what most genuine student of the cards use them for. The Rider-Waite deck is extremely good for this. It's no more pagan than a Rorschach ink-blot test, and a lot more interesting to look at. - Original Message - From: "Ynr Chyldz Wyld" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2000 6:27 AM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Tarot Card Assassins From: "Aleisha Saba" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone ever heard of the Tarot Card Assassins.now Tarot Cards are very sinister ancient Egyptian Cards.

Re: [CTRL] Zionist Paradise building its Ghetto Walls!!
How can there be a war, (?), when the AntiChrist comes in peace? Daniel says... ... "And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom; but he shall come in PEACEABLY, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries..." ~ Daniel 11:21 Doesn't sound much like a warring situation here. Choice is yours to believe the traditions of men... i.e. WARS, ATOMIC HOLOCAUST, PLAGUES, etc... or you can choose to believe what is written. "For when they shall say, 'Peace and safety'; then sudden destruction shall come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." 1-Thessalonians 5:3 There are certain things must happen before there is any kind of destruction... and besides that... the destruction will be so swift and so efficient, it will be done and over before anyone realizes what happened.

[CTRL] Fwd: Re: Daniel 9:25 Is it a Trench or Wall?
A. Saba Dare To Call It Conspiracy There is a conspiracy of the prophets in the midst thereof.and can only be compared to 1960 which was beginning of the big conspiracy which took JFKand then RFK and then King and then Malcolm X and anyone who might be a person who would take on New World Order, or this Communist Time Table, or call it what you will I am no expert in religion as all would be aware, but I see what I see and know that in the prophcies of Daniel like 1960 - here we have the cycle of murder presidents where in 10 years we will have three presidents, instead of two meaning according to the astrologers and the conspiratorsthe murder and/or death of a President where number 2 man steps in and boy watch out for that third man. So Reagan beat the death sentence and Brady hit which was all planned, for that Brady was Irish and had the wit and pen, of a ready writer. So now they want to build WALLS iin the Holy Land these Zionists - wall them all in, make easier targets.no trench coat mafia here I say, just real trenches or is it to be a great wall. This story figures in with the game plan.the return of the Messiah, some of whom believed he was born February 5, 1962..of royal descent, and only guy born tht day that fits is King Hussein, son of late King married to English Lady who died in heliocopter crash and lo and behold King Hussein put this man in - his son, rather than the brother. And believe me All Kings Are Brothers and be assured are also in the masonic order like a Benhadad.The Sons of God and the Sons of the Prophet - and the Zionists are coming to a showdown which will bring about the ends of time as outlined in Daniel for here is whre major murder is planned in advance..then remember Job, for the Sons of Job are in the skies in a constellation known as Job's Coffin, also transalated to mean The Sons of Joseph Kennedy, updated.

By Dr. James Price and Guy Cramer This paper is Part 4 of The Unexpected King (A Precise Mathematical Prediction) It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench (New International Version) The street shall be built again, and the wall... (King James Version) (New King James Version) Guy Cramer: Why is this an important issue? Christians and Jews interpret Daniel 9:25-26 as the most important Old Testament prophetic calculation for the time of the Messiah. Not all Christians are in agreement on the interpretation of the passages. The biggest disagreement comes from the choice of four separate decrees within a one hundred year time span that can be used as the starting point for the calculations. One of the decrees is the issuing of the Royal letters to Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. If Daniel 9:25 is speaking of a trench and not a wall, then the command to Nehemiah cannot be used as the starting point. On the other hand, if Daniel is speaking of the wall then the Nehemiah command would be the logical starting point. The Hebrew word used in Daniel 9:25 is charuwts (Strong's Concordance Hebrew word #2742) This word is literally translated as "ditch" but in the side text the author has tried to make a direct translation for our English and he translates this same word as wall. The New International Version (NIV Bible) translates the word as trench while both the KJV and the NKJV translate the word as wall. I know the word could mean wall but why have the King James authors chosen wall over ditch when other words may be more appropriate to say wall? Dr. James Price, Prof. of Hebrew, sent me the following reply; Brown-Driver-Briggs page 358, meaning III lists "trench, moat" having its derivation from a root verb that means "to cut, sharpen, decide." However, while one "builds" a street or a plaza, not so for a ditch, trench, or moat. They are dug or cut, as the very root of the word indicates. So the idea of trench or moat is not in semantic harmony with the verb "build." The ancient Jews who translated this into Greek rendered the word as "wall." That is likely where the KJV translators got the meaning of the word, and the NKJV editors thought that was justified. Sincerely, James D. Price UPDATE: JUNE 21,1998 Jerry Brown emailed the following question: You wrote, "I know the word could mean wall." My question is, if the word means 'trench,' then how do you know it could mean 'wall'? Y109 seems to say it is translated 'wall' because it has the verb 'build.' If that's what it takes to change a noun name, why couldn't a translator choose any word at all, like 'temple'? Guy Cramer: Wall and trench in our language mean two different things, but in

I would prefer they be sent to South Africa and let them partake of the poisoned waters, the poisoned cocane, the poison vaccinaions and the poison of ther own creation - themselves. Bury them all deep.put stake through their hearts, and maybe then even jews and arabs in holy land will live in peace. I come in peacewhat a lie and what a lot of crap. Tell me is America does it feel threatened by Sadaam Hussein or Osama bin Ladennow this is chicken little time Clinton, who loves to feel threatened - a psychiatrist would call this a form of bondage for he has put Washington in seige and is surrounded by bodygards to feel protected and then rapes and commits acts of sodomy like the homosexuls and lesbians he would push off on our children. By their fruits you shall know them and by their deeds..remember Waco, Ruby Ridge, and BAlkans and murder of Iranian and Iraqie children by denial of medicinelike Putin let legs of little 14 year old boy be amputated as warning for it is the iniquities of the fathers will be visited upon the children.

Re: [CTRL] Talmud Exposed
The only argument I have with this is... The issues of the Talmud were distributed for PUBLIC information. Do you really think they are going to publicize the real thing? I don't think so... And don't forget... the ""oral"" traditions have much to do with the Talmud. THOSE you will only get from the learned Hasidics, just for the record, and THEN you will have to have reason to probe into those traditions / and kabbalah. They are not going to purposely EXPOSE themselves. Rather, anything that looks a bit pervious, they will always have an alibi. So, if you are looking for truth in the talmud, it is safe to say, you won't find much, to substantiate such Christian cries of the protocols of the elders of zion. eagle 1 http://www.lambsheart.com/fourwinds/whore.html - Original Message - From: "Tenorlove" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2000 9:32 AM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Talmud Exposed --- Nicky Molloy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: that you endorse the Talmud then?

[CTRL] Senior CIA officials confirm that US covert action in Honduras and Nicaragua was financed with drug money.
---Original Message- From: International Justice Watch Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Margarita Lacabe Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2000 4:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Usa/Hdn/Nic - Senior CIA officials confirm that US covert action in Honduras and Nicaragua was financed with drug money. Derechos Human Rights Serpaj Europe Information 20jun00 CIA ADMITS TOLERATING CONTRA-COCAINE TRAFFICKING IN 1980'S. In secret congressional testimony, senior CIA officials admitted that the spy agency turned a blind eye to evidence of cocaine trafficking by U.S.-backed Nicaraguan contra rebels in the 1980s and generally did not treat drug smuggling through Central America as a high priority during the Reagan administration. "In the end the objective of unseating the Sandinistas appears to have taken precedence over dealing properly with potentially serious allegations against those with whom the agency was working," CIA Inspector General Britt Snider said in classified testimony on May 25, 1999. He conceded that the CIA did not treat the drug allegations in "a consistent, reasoned or justifiable manner." Still, Snider and other officials sought to minimize the seriousness of the CIA's misconduct - a position echoed by a House Intelligence Committee report released in May and by press coverage it received. In particular, CIA officials insisted that CIA personnel did not order the contras to engage in drug trafficking and did not directly join in the smuggling. But the CIA testimony to the House Intelligence Committee and the body of the House report confirmed long-standing allegations - dating back to the mid-1980s - that drug traffickers pervaded the contra operation and used it as a cover for smuggling substantial volumes of cocaine into the United States. Deep in the report, the House committee noted that in some cases, "CIA employees did nothing to verify or disprove drug trafficking information, even when they had the opportunity to do so. In some of these, receipt of a drug allegation appeared to provoke no specific response, and business went on as usual." Former CIA officer Duane Clarridge, who oversaw covert CIA support for the contras in the early years of their war against Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government, said "counter-narcotics programs in Central America were not a priority of CIA personnel in the early 1980s," according to the House report. The House committee also reported new details about how a major Nicaraguan drug lord, Norwin Meneses, recruited one of his principal lieutenants, Oscar Danilo Blandon, with promises that much of their drug money would go to the contras. Meneses and Blandon were key figures in a controversial 1996 series in the San Jose Mercury News that alleged a "dark alliance" between the CIA and contra traffickers. That series touched off renewed interest in contra-drug trafficking and its connection to the flood of cocaine that swept through U.S. cities in the 1980s, devastating many communities with addiction and violence. In reaction to the articles by reporter Gary Webb, U.S. government agencies and leading American newspapers rallied to the CIA's defense. Like those responses, the House Intelligence Committee report attacked Webb's series. It highlighted exculpatory information about the CIA and buried admissions of wrongdoing deep in the text where only a careful reading would find them. The report's seven "findings" - accepted by the majority Republicans as well as the minority Democrats - absolved the CIA of any serious offenses, sometimes using convoluted phrasing that obscured the facts. For instance, one key finding stated that "the CIA as an institution did not approve of connections between contras and drug traffickers, and, indeed, contras were discouraged from involvement with traffickers." The phrasing is tricky, however. The use of the phrase "as an institution" obscures the report's clear evidence that many CIA officials ignored the contra-cocaine smuggling and continued doing business with suspected drug traffickers. The finding's second sentence said, "CIA officials, on occasion, notified law enforcement entities when they became aware of allegations concerning the identities or activities of drug traffickers." Stressing that CIA officials "on occasion" alerted law enforcement about contra drug traffickers glossed over the reality that many CIA officials withheld evidence of illegal drug smuggling and undermined investigations of those crimes. Normally in investigations, it is the wrongdoing that is noteworthy, not the fact that some did not participate in the wrongdoing. A close reading of the House report reveals a different story from the "findings." On page 38, for instance, the House committee observed that the second volume of the CIA's inspector general's study of the contra-drug controversy disclosed numerous instances of contra-drug operations and CIA knowledge of the problem.

Re: [CTRL] Tarot Card Assassins
Well June the books from which you quote here are but a few who claim to know origin of Tarot Cardsin fact you quote so precisely from the one that one would think it all true. Some of the books I have with regard to these cards were writte nearly 200 years ago and these cards when used by gypsies well if they like you they see good and if they hate you they see evilmake good propaganda tools. Nicky is an astrologer and I imagen knows a lot about these cards. The assassins of the Princess of Wales and the Prince of America JFK Jr., and the would be assassins of Teddy and Bobby - and even TS Eliot in his wasteland gives you clue how card are used. Propaganda tooks too good and psychological warfare against hated enemy too good to be truebut Tarot Card Assassins are into high intellignce and are merely assassins with the brains planting the seeds of destruction from the falling towers in communication to the many other crimes they commit . their existance was know by very few people and this reason is because they are intelligence operation. Remember the old college game "got you" where the kids had guns and dropped their clssmates.beginning of good idea and then came Littletonslaughter of the innocents, and guess who was behind this? I worked with the best of them and each had a different story about Tarot Cards so it is a matter of which story do you believe? Like Mathew and Mark and Luke - all the gospel truth with lots of errors? So the evil drunken whore of Babylon with the Cup and then we have this 23rd psalm with the cup of kindness which looks to me like a cup of hatredto sit down at such a sumptuous dinner like the Wart Hogs do, with people starving and then say their cup runneth ovr with Love? Just matters of opinions. Even Freud knew secret of Tarot Cards but Jung knew more for he went deeper into the Occult. Freud got stuck in Job 19 to 22 thereabout figuring out who's Job's friends really were. Tarot Cards? I am interested in who fixes the deck and who deals the Cards for this is the Assassin who lays the groundwork for murder.

I Doubt It. - SNETNEWS Mailing List The John Birch Society Action Network Alert! - June 20, 2000 Vote on WTO Withdrawal! A House vote on H. J. Res 90, a bill "Withdrawing the approval of the United States from the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization," is scheduled for Wednesday, June 21st. H. J. Res. 90 is a critically important piece of legislation, since it would get the United States completely out of the World Trade Organization and repeal the 1994 legislation implementing the agreement. When asked about the importance of getting out of the WTO in an interview in The New American magazine, Representative Jack Metcalf (R-WA), a co-sponsor of H. J. Res 90, said: My thinking on this matter can be summed up in one word, sovereignty. Our nation's sovereignty is at stake. I want negotiations between our nation and any other nation, even China, to be conducted on a one-to-one basis. Not arranged by groups and organizations which, once you join them, you've already committed to do everything that has already been agreed to. This is the only way we can protect the people of the United States. There are a lot of very powerful forces out there that would like to do things their way and not allow our nation to act in its own interests. The World Trade Organization is one of them. Let's be brutally frank: There is not currently much support for this resolution. It has only 9 cosponsors. The House Ways and Means Committee voted 35-0 to report the bill adversely (that is, recommend the rejection of) to the entire House. Only a wave of communications from constituents will convince Congress to pass H. J. Res. 90. It is too late to write. You must call, fax, or e-mail your support of this bill to your Congressman IMMEDIATELY. Tell your Congressman that the WTO not only undermines U.S. sovereignty - it is also economically harmful to Americans because it benefits the multinational corporations at the expense of American workers. The recent vote by the House to grant permanent Normal Trade Relations to China paves the way for the admission of China to the WTO. This will further undermine the competitiveness of U.S.-made goods on the world market. Don't delay! Contact your Congressman now!

From AntiWar.Com }}Begin NATO's Home Free by George Szamuely New York Press 6/20/00 Carla del Ponte, chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), announced the other day that she would not be opening an investigation into NATO. "I am very satisfied," she explained, "that there was no deliberate targeting of civilians or unlawful military targets by NATO." This was hardly shocking news. Back in December she had already reassured an anxious Clinton administration that "NATO is not under investigation." The tribunal is what it has always been: an obedient creature of the United States. In clear violation of Article 32 of its statute it gets funding from the U.S. government. Prosecuting NATO would thus have brought about its swift demise. Yet NATO's violations of international law were so blatant and outrageous that fat Carla had to make at least a show of "investigating." Her report exonerating Clinton, Blair, Schroder and the rest of last year's band of heroes is so laughably implausible that only the dim bulbs of the Wall Street Journal editorial page could find comfort in it. Take cluster bombs, resorted to with some frequency by NATO. "There is no specific treaty provision which prohibits or restricts the use of cluster bombs," del Ponte's report announces cheerfully. Well, yes. But the tribunal has not always taken this view, at least not when it came to the Serbs. In 1995, the tribunal indicted Milan Martic, president of the now-defunct Serb Republic of Krajina, charging him with "violating the laws and customs of war" for ordering a missile attack on Zagreb. What made it a war crime was that the missiles were fitted with cluster bomb warheads. According to the indictment, a missile can be "fitted with different warheads to accomplish distinct tasks: either to destroy military targets or to kill people. When the [missile] is fitted with a cluster bomb'...it is an anti-personnel weapon designed only to kill people." Martic was a war criminal because he launched an "unlawful attack against the civilian population and individual citizens." So how is he different from NATO? Ah, Martic's missile "landed in an area with no military objectives nearby... [It] was not designed to hit military targets but to terrorize the civilians of Zagreb. There is no indication cluster bombs were used in such a fashion by NATO." Really? Here is how U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Short explained NATO strategy last May to The Washington Post: "If you wake up in the morning and you have no power to your house and no gas to your stove and the bridge you take to work is down and will be lying in the Danube for the next 20 years, I think you begin to ask, Hey, Slobo, what's this all about? How much more of this do we have to withstand?''' Sounds like terrorizing civilians to me. NATO's strategy was directed at civilians and at nothing else. Hospitals, buses, retirement homes, schools, markets, town centers, apartment buildings, refugee convoys all went up in smoke. Yugoslavia's military, however, remained intact. Yet del Ponte, her voice resonant with insincerity, insists that NATO only went after legitimate military targets. Take the bombing of the Grdelica railroad bridge, which led to the destruction of a passenger train and the death of at least 12 people. Nothing wrong with that, she cries. The bridge was being used as a resupply route by Serb forces in Kosovo. The pilot simply did not see the passenger train coming. "Realizing the bridge was still intact, the controller picked a second aim point on the bridge at the opposite end from where the train had come and launched the second bomb." So the pilot knew that he had hit a passenger train, yet he came back to dump a second bomb on the dead and injured. Carla del Ponte has no problems with that. Nor is she concerned that the attack was carried out in broad daylight when "collateral damage"NATO's beloved phrasewas likely to be at its highest. Del Ponte is evidently unaware of Articles 51(4) and (5) of the 1977 Additional Protocols to the Geneva Convention I. These prohibit indiscriminate attacks. Such attacks would include "(a) bombardment by any methods...which treats as a single military objective a number of clearly separated and distinct military objectives [and] (b) an attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life." As for that brave pilot, who completed his mission, he was clearly in violation of Article 57 (2b) of Protocol I: "An attack shall be cancelled or suspended if it becomes apparent that the objective is not a military one or is...expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life." Del Ponte also exonerates NATO from any blame for the destruction of the headquarters of Serbian state television and radio (RTS), which killed 16 civilians. "The bombing of the TV studio," her report explains proudly, "was part of a planned attack aimed at disrupting and degrading the C3 (Command,

It may be worth noting that Pranaitis was a Lithuanian, who, along with Poles, were chief Roman Catholic minorities in the tsarist, orthodox Russian Empire. Given that the Church of Rome was itself somewhat suspect to Russian authorities, who reserved deeper antipathy towards Jewish subjects, Pranaitis' Jew-baiting may have been an effort to gain the approval of the powers in St. Petersburg.

Clinton 'seeks British home'
by Stewart Payne
President Clinton is planning to set up a second home in Britain when he leaves
the White House, according to security sources.
The Evening Standard has discovered the US leader is looking at houses in the
Oxfordshire countryside and British Special Branch officers are preparing
feasibility reports on a number of properties.
Mr Clinton hopes to become a visiting professor attached to Oxford University,
where he studied as a Rhodes scholar in the Sixties.
This would involve him spending many months of the year in the UK although he
would keep homes in New York and Arkansas. His wife, Hillary, will not accompany
him. Because of the considerable security implications he has asked the British
government for assistance in assessing the risks. Tony Blair is understood to be
supporting the move.
The Standard has been told that Mr Clinton is house-hunting in the picturesque
village of Glympton, 12 miles north of Oxford. He has been invited to look in
the area by long-serving Saudi Arabian ambassador to Washington, Prince Bandar
bin Sultan, who in 1992 bought the Glympton Estate which includes 21 properties.
Rural idyll: the typically English setting
It is understood one of these would be made available to the President on a
three-year lease. The estate is heavily fortified and Glympton House, renovated
and used by Prince Bandar, has been designed to withstand bombs, has bullet-
proof glass and ramps in the driveway to frustrate car bombers.
Mr Clinton leaves the White House in seven months and his plans are said to
include embarking on the lecture circuit, a career successfully pursued by
predecessors Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
The Standard has been told he would like to make Oxford University his base. He
has spoken fondly of his time at Oxford and the countryside around it and his
close friendship with Mr Blair makes the move all the more likely.
Well-placed sources have told the Standard that Thames Valley Special Branch
officers have been detailed to examine the security implications. The President
would bring his own security officers but they would need to liaise with local
police, MI5 and the British government.
Hillary Clinton will concentrate on her New York Mayoral bid
Mrs Clinton will stay in the US to pursue a political career in the Senate. It
is widely believed the couple are virtually estranged following the scandal of
his relationship with Monica Lewinsky and other allegations.
The couple are expected to lead separate lives when his presidency ends and a
move to the UK would mean he would not overshadow his wife's political
ambitions, although they have denied they plan to divorce.
Not unsurprisingly in the circumstances, there was an instant denial in
Washington last night despite evidence to the contrary.
Deputy White House press secretary Jake Siewert said: "I put this directly to
the President. He said quote: 'It's nonsense - a fabrication'. There has been no
mention of Hillary", the Standard was told.
Mr Clinton would require a very high level of security and there is an issue
over whether his own bodyguards could be armed.
The feasibility study will examine the suitability of a number of properties and
officers will look at how well they can be protected, the proximity of
neighbours, whether roads can be sealed off, whether helicopters can land nearby
and the closeness of hospitals. No decisions have yet been made".
Glympton is the obvious choice. Situated off the main A44 near Woodstock, the
Glympton Estate is already subjected to intense security because the main
Glympton Park house is the UK residence of Prince Bandar, a nephew of King Fahd.
A spokeswoman for Oxford University could not confirm Mr Clinton will become a
visiting professor but said: "It is a logical extension of his expressed
interest."

571 Million Americans By Alan K. Simpson and Richard D. Lamm
Tuesday , June 20, 2000 ; A23
It is most important to recognize that the new census figures showing a
population of 571 million Americans by the year 2100 are both a projection and
a public policy choice. It is more of a question than a fact, more of a choice
than an inevitability. Demography has become largely a matter of public policy
choice, and like any other public policy issue, it deserves debate.
How large do we want the U.S. population to become? Do we want to be a nation
of 1 billion Americans? Five hundred million? Would this be in the national
interest? Is it in the interest of our grandchildren? Do you really want twice
as many people in America? Will that make it a better place to live?
It is these and similar questions that America must ask itself. Our society
must look at the long-term domestic impact of immigration and answer the hard
demographic questions. It is not enough to invoke the Statue of Liberty or
quote the powerful words written on its base. We must ask, "What kind of
national interests are being served by large-scale immigration?"
The entire western United States is under tremendous growth pressure, partly
from Californians leaving California. The most common reasons for departing are
too many people, too much congestion, too much traffic, a lowering of the
quality of life. More people have left California since 1990 than actually live
in Wyoming. Is that a harbinger for the nation?
We both saw California in the 1950s, when it had 10 million people. It was
paradise. But it soon grew to 20 million, is now up to 34 million and is
expected to have 50 million people by the year 2010. We have yet to meet a
Californian who wants 50 million neighbors.
By 2040 there will be 64 million Californians--almost entirely because of
immigration. But in whose interest is it to have 50 or 60 million people in
California or 571 million in America (and still growing)?
Public policy is filled with issues that were once thought unalterable but that
we now recognize as matters of human control and public policy. It used to be
that a person's health was a matter of "God's will," but we learned through
medicine and public health that it was substantially within human control. We
used to believe that the number of children born to a woman was a matter of
divine choice, not human choice. But then Margaret Sanger and other crusaders
came to inspire and teach women that they were not slaves to biology and that
to limit family size was advantageous to their health and family prosperity. It
was not a matter of destiny but of choice.
We respectfully suggest that it is not a matter of "God's will" that we double
the size of America's population, as the census figures predict will happen; it
is a public policy choice. The average American woman has two children in a
lifetime, a figure that will stabilize U.S. population in the middle of the
next century. Unless American women begin again to have large families, the
difference between doubling U.S. population and doubling it again will be due
to immigration.
How will America be better off with 571 million people? What amenities that we
now enjoy will be improved? What about urban congestion, open space? Will 571
million people help our educational system? What will it mean with regard to
crime, and our quality of life? Are we likely to improve our social peace and
political stability?
Neils Bohr once said that "the opposite of a correct statement is a false
statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound
truth." Without question immigration has been good for America, and of course
we are all immigrants, directly or indirectly. But the challenge of public
policy is to recognize when circumstances change--when, as the poet warns,
"time makes ancient good uncouth."

[CTRL] Mind Control; Part I (series of IV)- Arlene Tyner, Probe Magazine
Courtesy of Eleanor White (Phys. Eng.) and Arlene Tyner ("Probe")
http://www.webcom.com/ctka/pr300-mkultra.html
Mind-Control Part 1:
Canadian and U.S. Survivors Seek Justice
"Curiously, often a classic manifestation of people who are afflicted with
certain psychotic disorders is the irrational fear that the CIA and FBI is
conspiring to harm them. In this case, the CIA involvement is real and the
covert nature of the involvement is not contested."
Orlikow v. United States (1988)1
By Arlene Tyner
Gripping survivor-centered accounts of medical atrocities committed by
CIA-funded mind-control (MC) researchers during the Cold War are rarely found
in traditional U.S. media.2 Neither are they the subject of emotionally
powerful TV docu-dramas commonly produced for broadcast and cable television.
In January 1998, the Canadian Broadcasting System (CBC) courageously filled
this void, although the blackout on government MC history is near-total in the
U.S.
The Sleep Room, a gut-wrenching four-hour miniseries, depicts the true story
of Dr. Ewen Camerons secret MKULTRA brainwashing experiments carried out in
the late 50s and early 60s at Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal. Widespread
publicity accompanying this major TV event has empowered many other Canadian
survivors of nonconsensual brainwashing experiments in hospitals and prisons
to come forward and seek justice in the courts.3
In Part I of the miniseries, gifted actors dramatize how vulnerable, trusting
hospital patients were transformed into virtual vegetables through doses of
"electroconvulsive therapy" 30-40 times more powerful than usual, sensory
deprivation, hallucinogenic and paralytic drugs, and other psychological and
physical tortures. Part II grippingly depicts the successful eight-year U.S.
lawsuit of nine survivors, who overcame fear to confront the humiliations and
frustrating delay tactics of the CIA lawyers. Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., a legendary
Washington civil rights attorney, and his partner James C. Turner eventually
prevailed for their clients. In 1988, the U.S. "national security"
establishment agreed to an out-of-court settlement of $750,000.4
This extraordinary CBC drama was based on Anne Collins prize-winning 1989
book In the Sleep Room: The Story of CIA Brainwashing Experiments in Canada.
Collins exposed Camerons 1930s-1940s history of ethically unsupportable
experiments on psychiatric patients. Many of the people methodically abused by
Cameron had entered the Institute suffering only from mild disorders such as
anxiety and post-partum depression. By the time they were released from the
Sleep Room torture chamber, many had decades of memory completely wiped out.
Some did not remember their children and even had to relearn bladder and bowel
control.
A U.S. citizen since 1941, the Scottish-born Cameron resided in Albany, New
York, from which he commuted to Montreal each week. Before taking on the
directorship at Allan Memorial, which is associated with McGill University,
Cameron was chair of psychiatry and neurology at a medical school in Albany.
He worked closely with Alan Gregg, medical-sciences director of the
Rockefeller Foundation, which provided grants to found the Institute in 1943.5
As director from 1943 to 1964, Cameron achieved a worldwide reputation,
serving as the first chair of the World Psychiatric Association, as well as
president of the American and Canadian psychiatric associations.
In one barely watchable scene of institutional cruelty, Cameron is filmed
delivering a speech to psychiatrists about his successes in "curing" mental
illness. As he drones on, the camera switches to scenes of terrified resisting
patients being captured and restrained by doctors and nurses, forcibly being
dosed with drugs and high-voltage electroshock, then put to sleep for weeks at
a time in a room full of beds equipped with tape recorders and football
helmets.
Winner in 1998 of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Televisions Gemini
Awards in best picture and other categories, The Sleep Room touched the raw
nerves of Canadian citizens. Not only did they learn their government had been
the CIAs junior consort during the Cold War against Communism, they also
discovered it had secretly granted $500,000 to fund the Allan Memorial
experiments. The CIA had only given Cameron $69,000 from 1957 to 1964. As the
lawsuit dragged on through the Reagan presidency, Rauh was forced to expose
the Canadian governments role in helping the CIA derail the lawsuit, in
complete disregard for pain and lifelong suffering of its own citizens.6 In
1992 the Canadian government coughed up $100,000 for 76 Cameron victims. To
date 127 of his patients have come forward with their horror stories to seek
compensation.
CIA psychologist John Gittinger initiated contact with Cameron after reading
his article on "Psychic Driving" in the January 1956 American Journal of
Psychiatry. Gittinger persuaded Cameron to apply to the Society for the
Investigation of Human

[CTRL] Papers, please
From }}Begin June 5, 2000 The Libertarian by Vin Suprynowicz Do we really have to show a 'government-issued ID'? A number of folks have written in, seeking more details on the FAA security directive I've mentioned, which instructs airline employees to ask to see a government-issued ID from each passenger boarding a commercial aircraft -- but which specifically instructs airline employees they may not refuse to let you board a plane for lack of such ID, since America still has no "mandatory internal passport." It was the fine folks at Sovereign Citizens Against Numbering, operating the "Fight the Fingerprint" web page at www.networkusa.org/fingerprint.shtml, who sent me the article "Flying Without Identification," reprinted from the May 1997 edition of Robert Kelly's "The American's Bulletin" ($50 per year; P.O. Box 3096, Central Point, OR 97502). Writing under the pseudonym Betsy Ross, the author, a physician from the Pacific Northwest who promises to update me on "some follow-up regulations they've issued since," reported at the time that Northwest Airlines "was actually instrumental in advancing my education about this issue. I was so aggravated by the insolent and hostile treatment that their employee gave me (hopefully former employee, after the blistering letter I sent to the company president) that I demanded to see a supervisor on the spot. "I then demanded that he produce the relevant federal regulations RIGHT NOW, or face personal liability for authorizing an unreasonable search and seizure, dereliction of duty, fraud, conspiracy, civil rights deprivation and any other legal buzz words I could think of that moment which would justify a lawsuit against him personally, as well as his employer. "Like everyone else, he couldn't show me any statute or regulations. He even admitted that there are none. However, he did produce a copy of Security Directive 96-05, which the Federal Aviation Agency issued to all airlines in August of 1996. "Its wording is very instructive; it reads as follows: "IDENTIFY THE PASSENGER -- "A. all passengers who appear to be 18 years of age will present a government issued picture ID, or two other forms of ID, at least one of which must be issued by a government authority. "B. The agent must reconcile the name on the ID and the name on the ticket -- except as noted below. "C. If the passenger cannot produce identification, or if it cannot be reconciled to match the ticket, the passenger becomes a 'selectee.' Clear all of their luggage as noted in Section 6 below. Clear selectee's checked and carry-on luggage, and suspicious articles discovered by the questions asked." The directive then explains procedures by which luggage may be "cleared" -- most of which in practice seem to involve placing matching orange stickers on boarding pass and baggage -- including: "1. Empty the luggage or item and physically search its contents by a qualified screener, or; 2. Bag-match -- ensure the bag is not transported on the aircraft if the passenger does not board." Ms. Ross writes: "This document apparently goes on for 10 or more pages; the Northwest supervisor gave me only the first page, which contains the information printed above. The next time I refused to produce ID and an agent freaked, I told her, 'Just tap up Sec-Dec 96-5 on your computer, and go to Paragraph 1, Section C. Designate me as a "selectee," and proceed accordingly.' " "She apparently thought I was an FAA undercover employee, because she said that she was 'tired of you federal guys coming around' and literally spying on airline agents, 'coercing us into lying to people, and essentially being the "bag man" for an activity which has no legal requirement.' I told her I could not agree more. "Another airline employee later confirmed that FAA agents often engage in such entrapment activities, to make sure that airline agents parrot the government party line about state-issued ID. "I also hit paydirt in a discussion with another, much nicer Northwest agent on the east coast. In a candid conversation, he told me that FAA personnel had held training sessions with all airline agents in the fall of 1996. Agents were informed directly by the FAA that they absolutely could not bar an American citizen from boarding a plane, even if a passenger refused to produce any identification at all! ... Anyone want to own an airline, courtesy of a judge? ... "Yet another agent in the midwest admitted that airline personnel were deliberately and knowingly coercing people into showing government ID by saying 'It's the law.' According to him the reality is that the companies are simply tired of people selling their frequent-flier tickets. "The airlines wanted to stem this practice by checking everyone's ID, but knew there would be big problems if they instituted this procedure as a private corporate policy. It was so much more convenient to say it was federal law and make the government the scapegoat. "So this policy meets
[CTRL] Amnesty International: Florida Execution inhuman
The Honourable Jeb Bush The Capitol Talllahassee FL 32399, USA 21 June 2000 Dear Governor I am writing on behalf of the more than one million members of Amnesty International worldwide to express the organization's profound concern about events that have unfolded in Florida's lethal injection chamber over the past 24 hours in relation to Thomas Harrison Provenzano. Thomas Provenzano came within 11 minutes of execution on Tuesday evening. He was already strapped to the gurney with the lethal injection needles inserted into his body, when the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay of execution. That stay has now been dissolved and the state of Florida intends to repeat the same macabre and cruel ritual again tonight. Amnesty International in no way seeks to belittle the suffering that Thomas Provenzano has caused his victims and their families. However, the organization condemns unreservedly the response of the state to this man's crimes. We believe that his treatment last night, regardless of the 11th Circuit Court's motivation for its actions, was cruel, inhuman and nothing short of a mock execution. With respect, I ask you, how does what happened to Thomas Provenzano last night not constitute torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, in violation of US obligations under the UN Convention Against Torture, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and other international instruments? I remind you of Judge Bentley's obvious disquiet in having to rule, under the "minimal" domestic standards that govern such cases, that Thomas Provenzano was competent for execution, despite Provenzano's belief that he is being killed because he is Jesus Christ. Judge Bentley said his ruling "should not be misinterpreted as a finding that Thomas Provenzano is a normal human being without serious mental health problems, because he most certainly is not." We appeal to you to step back from what can only be interpreted as an act of state-sanctioned vengeance against a man who has been diagnosed with serious mental disorders since before his terrible crime. We urge you to rethink your decision to deny clemency to Thomas Provenzano, and to offer the leadership required to stop this calculated, premeditated, killing.

[CTRL] Clinton's Comedy of Secrets
From: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith/2621_xcsof_bill_clint.shtml The recent loss of nuclear weapon secrets at Los Alamos shows exactly how far we have come under President Clinton. Much like Hillary Clinton's billing records from the Rose Office Law firm, the disks containing nuclear weapon secrets have suddenly reappeared from the Twilight Zone. One media pundit noted that there was more security to check out a "Winnie the Pooh" book from your local library than nuclear secrets at the nuclear weapons labs. This comment brought a fast response from Energy Secretary Richardson, who noted on a Sunday talk show that the stories comparing Winnie the Pooh and nuclear secrets were simply "false." However, on May 7, 1999, addressing the National Academy of Sciences, U.S. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson urged scientists to fight congressional efforts to restrict foreign scientific exchanges and cautioned against an "overreaction" by the Congress to the China nuclear spy scandal. "I need your help in fighting some very unguided efforts in Congress to curb the foreign scientist program," Richardson pleaded. "I think it would hurt our national security if there were restrictions on sensitive countries like Russia and China. I don't want those restrictions." The single most glaring flaw at Los Alamos is that nuclear secrets can be checked out by anyone inside a secure area - an honor system requiring neither log nor signature. The problem with an honor system for nuclear weapons is that unauthorized people can and often do get inside high security areas. The most recent example occurred earlier this year when FBI officials caught a Russian agent using an electronic listening device hidden inside a secure meeting room inside the State Department. The bugging incident was immediately followed by the discovery that a State Department laptop filled with top-secret data was also missing. The State Department laptop has not been recovered. There were warnings about the national security threats and lack of action inside the Clinton administration. In 1999 the General Accounting Office tested the physical security of both the State Department, and the Federal Aviation Administration. GAO inspectors were able to penetrate secure areas including the offices of the Secretary of State, and critical air traffic computer rooms inside FAA facilities. The GAO auditors warned of the growing security problems during congressional testimony. "We found significant weaknesses that compromise the integrity of FAA's air traffic control operations," stated the GAO auditor. "This review resulted in a number of findings too sensitive to discuss in today's open hearing; accordingly, my statement will refer only to findings and recommendations contained in the unclassified version of our limited official use report. We can tell you openly, though, that we found evidence of air traffic control systems that had been penetrated, and critical ATC data had been compromised." The compromise of security at the Federal Aviation Administration, the State Department and the Energy Department is symptomatic of the entire U.S. government under President Clinton. Energy Secretary Richardson was not the only Clinton administration cabinet member to choke on security problems during the Sunday talk shows. Newly appointed Gore campaign chairman William Daley noted that his experience as Commerce Secretary had led him to the conclusion that there were simply "too many secrets." Ironically, the Commerce Department under William Daley approved the sale of hundreds of super-computers to Indian, Chinese and Russian nuclear weapons labs. More than half of all computer exports to China consisted of high-performance computers. China now has over 400 high-performance machines, needed to process the American nuclear codes and to simulate the workings of our arsenal, as well as to test Chinese nuclear weapons. For example, Daley's Commerce Department approved super-computer exports to: * The National University of Defense Technology, which helps the Chinese military design advanced weapons; * The University of Electronic Science and Technology, which helps develop stealth aircraft and advanced military radar; and * The Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which helps develop missiles and specializes in guidance, navigation and flight dynamics. In his world of too many secrets, Secretary Daley also failed to mention Commerce employee Ira Sockowitz who walked out of a secure area with over 2,000 pages of secrets. Ira Sockowitz was not suppose to remove the secrets from the secure area inside the Commerce Department but did so using an honor system, requiring no check out procedures. Sockowitz removed data on uranium deals with Russia, exports of satellites to China, a top-secret report from the National Security Agency on encryption and the complete dossiers of the entire Bosnian/Croat leadership.

[CTRL] Perseverance triumphs over IRS
Washington Times-June 21, 2000 Perseverance triumphs over IRS By James C. Miller III Call it another profile in courage. A citizen stands up to political assaults and government intimidation, pays a tremendous price, but is vindicated. That citizen is Jeff Eisenach, and his story needs to be told. After serving the Reagan administration with distinction (during which he took time off to get a Ph.D. in economics at the University of Virginia), Mr. Eisenach aided Pete du Pont in his presidential effort, and then became a friend and confidant of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, eventually serving as executive director of GOPAC, the well-known Republican political training organization. In 1993, he left GOPAC and, together with former Reagan Science Adviser Jay Keyworth, established the Progress and Freedom Foundation (PFF) to study the relationship between liberty and technological advance. PFF's relationship with Mr. Gingrich made the organization a natural target. It wasn't long before critics were drawing a bead on Renewing American Civilization, the college course Mr. Gingrich taught from 1993 to 1995 and which PFF facilitated by helping with research and distributing materials to the two dozen or so colleges and universities that offered the course for credit. Mr. Gingrich's opponents began attacking the course in 1993, before he had even given the first lecture, but it wasn't until June 1995 that the Baltimore office of the Internal Revenue Service assaulted PFF. Mr. Eisenach's initial response to their inquiries was what he called "aggressive cooperation," and by September he had provided the IRS with everything its agents had requested and more. Confident that PFF had done nothing wrong indeed, PFF's involvement in the course had been approved by some of the most venerable tax lawyers in town Mr. Eisenach looked forward to a full exoneration. That was not to be. Instead of closing the investigation, the IRS decided to go public. Prohibited by law from disclosing directly even the existence of an investigation, the agents threatened to achieve the same result by "interviewing" such "witnesses" as vocal Gingrich critic Rep. David Bonior, Michigan Democrat, and former Gingrich congressional opponent Ben Jones. The IRS made no pretense that either Mr. Bonior or Mr. Jones had any original information about the issues it was auditing, nor was it coy about the rationale behind its strategy. Asked why the agency was investigating PFF, one of the agents was surprisingly frank. "Some animals," he said, "are more equal than others." On the other hand, the agents said PFF could avoid all this by simply admitting wrongdoing, giving up its tax-exempt status, and paying substantial penalties in other words, pleading guilty and welcoming capital punishment. Mr. Eisenach's response was that PFF had not violated a single tax law or regulation, and was not going to admit otherwise. Rebuffed, the IRS changed tactics. In 1996, it hit PFF with a "mega" demand for documents. It declared its audit of tiny PFF to be under its "Comprehensive Examination Program," a process usually reserved for major hospitals and university systems, and which might be described as "autopsy without benefit of death." Then, to the astonishment of practically everyone, the agents demanded responses to a questionnaire in which board members and their spouses were to report every detail of their political affiliations and activities. PFF continued its policy of "aggressive cooperation" on the document demands, and even handed over copies of board members' biographies, but as for the outrageous invasion of privacy posed by the questionnaire, Mr. Eisenach told the IRS to go to hell. The IRS wasn't even Mr. Eisenach's biggest problem in 1996. By then the "politics of personal destruction" was in full swing, and a second battle front opened on PFF. The House Ethics Committee appointed Special Counsel James Cole to investigate Mr. Gingrich's involvement with the course, and Mr. Cole seemed determined to find wrongdoing whether any existed or not. A former prosecutor with no experience in tax law, Mr. Cole concocted a theory that seemed designed to put Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Eisenach behind bars for tax fraud. Mr. Gingrich's attorneys, in the meantime, were making the situation worse by filing statements with the Ethics Committee that, though ultimately irrelevant, were false. Meanwhile, Mr. Cole made demand upon demand on PFF for documents and affidavits. For Mr. Eisenach, those were frightening days. PFF was suffering badly from the costs and distractions of two simultaneous investigations. Fund-raising was off by 50 percent. During summer 1996, the staff was cut in half, but the debts continued to pile up. By the end of 1996, it wasn't clear that PFF would survive. In January 1997, Mr. Cole issued a report to the House Committee alleging "clear violations" of the tax
[CTRL] U.S. policy for sale
Washington Times-June 21, 2000 U.S. policy for sale By Milton R. Copulos The Democratic National Committee's (DNC) recent $26 million fund-raiser started on a sour note. To the dismay of the Gucci jean-clad, nouveau-riche attendees, a chant of "Stop the corruption" rose from somewhere in the audience. Never one to miss an opportunity to discuss the real issue, President Clinton shot right back. Barely missing a beat he retorted, "I don't believe it's corruption to pass the Brady bill instead of beat it, or pass the Family and Medical Leave bill so 21 million ordinary working people can take some time off when their babies are born or their parents are sick." It was classic Clinton. It was facile, quotable and disingenuous. It also obscured the point. The real corruption has nothing to do with people who contribute because Mr. Clinton supports the Brady bill, or family leave, or any other domestic concern, for that matter. It doesn't even have anything to do with turning the Lincoln Bedroom into a Motel 6 for the wealthy and privileged. It has everything to do however, with the influence of foreign money on the highest levels of government. Drug money. Chinese communist money. To illustrate: Item: Jorge Cabrerra, a convicted drug-dealer gave the Clinton-Gore campaign a $20,000 contribution. A particularly noteworthy fact since prior to making the donation he had never maintained a checking account because, as he told investigators for a federal drug task-force, "Then you need accountants, and they can rat on you." He apparently did not have the same concern about his friends in the Clinton-Gore campaign. Item: Harry A. Falk, inmate #37628-004, currently serving a 27-year sentence for laundering drug money, told government investigators how he participated in siphoning money to DNC candidates through "straw donors." His partner, and fellow conspirator in the scheme, Duvan Arboleda, fled the country to his native Colombia to avoid prosecution. He was murdered on the streets of Cali. Item: When, in the course of a bank fraud investigation, New York prosecutors uncovered compelling evidence that Venezuelan banker Jorge Castro Barredo made illegal contributions to the Clinton-Gore campaign, at the behest of DNC fund-raiser Charles Intriago, they notified the U.S. Attorney's office in Miami. Federal prosecutors there were set to move aggressively on what they felt was a prima facie case. But, suddenly, the Miami prosecutors got a call from Lee Radek, head of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section in Washington saying they were taking over. The result? The case languished until the statute of limitations expired, and no charges were ever brought. Item: Johnny Chung testified that he received $300,000 from General Ji Shengde, head of Military Intelligence for China's People's Liberation Army. Gen. Ji told Chung, "We like your president." Item: Ted Sioeng, a businessman with close ties to the communist Chinese government, as well as suspected ties to organized crime in Macao, funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clinton-Gore campaign through various straw donors. When congressional investigators attempted to grant immunity to his associate Ken La, the Justice Department blocked the move. And what did the foreign donors get in return? Certainly more than "photo-ops" with the president, or invitations to weekly radio broadcasts. Consider for example trade policy. Clinton administration waivers on the transfer of sensitive military and so-called "dual use" technologies allowed China to make advances in ballistic missile capabilities experts say would have taken decades to achieve otherwise. Human rights violations in China have been ignored. Unprecedented breaches of security have taken place at our most sensitive facilities despite warnings from security officials of the dangers. And what happened to those officials? They became the targets of retribution rather than being acknowledged for their prescience. And what of the "War on Drugs?" From his first days in office, Mr. Clinton moved to slash interdiction programs. Time and time again, his appointees have frustrated attempts to aid Colombia's embattled anti-narcotics police. Representatives of the Clinton State Department even met with representatives of that nation's rebel guerrillas guerrillas who are now on the verge of taking control of Colombia and creating a de facto narco-state. This is not to say that the actions are a direct consequence of illicit contributions. But they certainly show why foreign donors like Gen. Ji would say they "like your president." In the end, this is not about paperwork foul-ups, or "controlling legal authority." It is not about domestic issues like gun control or family leave. It is about the security of our nation. It is about drug money, and foreign intelligence service money, and how they
[CTRL] Thai woman to plead guilty in U.S. campaign case
Thai woman to plead guilty in U.S. campaign case Updated 2:38 PM ET June 21, 2000 By James Vicini WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Thai businesswoman Pauline Kanchanalak, a key figure in the investigation of foreign money raised in the 1996 reelection campaign of President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, agreed Wednesday to plead guilty to campaign finance-related offenses. The U.S. Justice Department said Kanchanalak and her sister-in-law, Duangnet Kronenberg, who also agreed to plead guilty, decided to cooperate in its long-running investigation of campaign abuses during the 1996 election cycle. In the plea deal filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., Kanchanalak agreed to plead guilty to two criminal counts that accused her of causing more than $690,000 in foreign money to be contributed to the Democratic Party and other political committees between 1992 and 1996. One count charged her with participating in a conspiracy to cause false statements to be made with the Federal Election Commission, the agency that regulates campaign finances. According to the charges, Kanchanalak conspired to use foreign funds to make illegal political contributions to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and other campaign committees. All the illegal contributions were made on checks from the accounts of Kronenberg and Kronenberg's mother, according to the charges. Part of the funds for the contributions were provided by a company that had Kanchanalak as its president. According to the charges, Kanchanalak sought to gain favor with the DNC and gain attendance to fund-raising and political events with Clinton, members of his administration and prominent members of the business community. More than $457,000 of the illegal contributions were provided to the DNC and five state Democratic party committees in connection with a White House "coffee" that Clinton attended June 18, 1996, the Justice Department said. It said the second count charged Kanchanalak with causing her company -- Ban Chang International (USA) Inc. -- to make an illegal $20,000 corporate contribution to the DNC in 1994. Kronenberg agreed to plead guilty to one count charging her with causing the company to make an illegal $10,000 corporate contribution to the DNC in 1996, the Justice Department said. Under the plea deal, the Justice Department will not seek any prison time for Kronenberg. Kanchanalak faces a maximum of six years in prison. but under federal sentencing guidelines it was unclear how much time she might receive. Kanchanalak and Kronenberg were scheduled to enter the guilty pleas in court Friday, the Justice Department said. = 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.

"I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft carrier, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes," Fonda tells the mag. "It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless." Fonda also talks about her recent turn to Christianity -- and defends her estranged husband Ted Turner who is on record as saying, "Christianity is for losers." "Ted has read the Bible cover to cover, twice. He can quote Scripture better than most preachers." Fonda tells 'O' that she now attends many churches in the Atlanta area -- notably the Providence Missionary Baptist Church. On the ending of her relationship with Ted: "I changed probably more than he did, and we need to see what that means... Whatever happens in terms of our living arrangements, we will always be close."

A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C E http://www.ainfos.ca/ ANARCHISM ADVANCING IN DIVERSITY STRIKING IN UNISON YAMAGUCHI KENJI DON¹T DISTURB!! GOOD CORPORATE CITIZEN AT WORK!! I was astonished to see the Australian, The Murdoch¹s Presses flagship in Australia, shed a few crocodile tears in its Advance Australia Where¹ series on the widening wealth divide in this country. It¹s astounding to think that the very corporate structure that has aided, abetted and spearheaded the globalisation and privatisation push in Australia, is now showing some concern for the victims of the policies the Murdoch Media conglomerate has pursued over the past two decades. I can¹t help feel that the Advance Australia¹ series that has popped up in the Australian is analogous to a person who through deliberate malice has permanently paralysed someone, paying for their victims medical bills while in hospital but not giving a damn about the victim¹s long term future. The solutions that have been thrown up by the Australian to help soften the burden of this widening gap, resemble the contents of a Barry McKenzie technicolour yawn. I¹m reduced to tears by the vacuousness of the Australian¹s solutions to this very real problem that gnaws at the very soul of this country. Power no longer resides in the Nation State. Globalisation has shifted the focus of power from the hands of dictators and parliaments into the hands of an ever shrinking number of transnational corporations. The direction governments move is determined by the needs of these corporations, not the needs of the people these governments supposedly represent. This is the reason that over the last fifty years power and wealth has become concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. The solution to this ever widening gap doesn¹t lie with government intervention or corporate welfare, it lies with the abolition of the State apparatus and the transfer of corporate wealth back into the hands of the community. Until communities own and control the very resources that they need to guarantee their survival, this widening gap will continue to grow. Historically, centralisation of power and wealth have been followed by cataclysmic events that have changed the course of history. These events have increased community participation in the decision making process and the distribution of wealth in these societies. The recent events in Seattle, Davos and Washington have sent shockwaves through the corporate world because ordinary people have been able to identify the problem and put a brake on the forces that have pushed the globalisation agenda. Although Murdoch¹s flagship in Australia may shed the occasional tear for the have nots¹, it has no intention of changing its direction. The Murdoch media¹s hostile response to the proposed peoples pre-Olympic festival outside Crown Casino in Melbourne that will "welcome" the delegates to the Asia Pacific leg of the World Economic Forum on the 11th, 12th and 13th of September is a clear indication that the Murdoch juggernaut has no intention of changing its globalisation agenda. WAY OFF THE MARK On Monday, the country¹s Federal parliamentarians mourned one of their own who committed suicide. The parliamentary eulogies spoke about a man who was cut down in his prime, they spoke about stress and how his friends and colleagues had not acted to identify and help this man. Listening to their kind words, I couldn't help but think they had strayed way off the mark. Depression can be divided into two different categories, reactive and endogenous. Reactive depression is related to life's events, it's the type of depressive illness we can all identify with. Stress, personal, family and gender issues can all lead to a depressive illness. What most, if not all of those delivering their eulogies had forgotten is that depression can be an illness that is not linked to specific events. A good family life, plenty of money, opportunities, children, friends and an active social life may not spare you from a depressive illness. Although it may not be fashionable, it's important to point out that some depressive illnesses that lead to suicide are due to specific biochemical problems. Although people have no qualms about recognising medical illnesses like diabetes, chrones disease and a host of other illnesses, they take a step back when confronted with a mental illness that's directly related to the triggering of a biochemical imbalance. In these situations, it's important to recognises that the initial treatment and in some situations long term treatment requires medication.

There is a good reason that the only writers which comment on this issue are Christian, and not Islamic, or Buddhist, etc. It's because the whole subject is invented by, and propagated by CHRISTIANS. No other group gives a damn. I do not want to see anyone here attacking other list members BELIEFS. You are totally free, and have my blessing, to believe what you will. I, and everyone else here is free to challenge information brought here. The Talmud business, the Protocals, etc., are all part of a systematic concocted "history" that has been perpetrated by the Catholic Church, and other prominent European (and now American) groups to place the "Jew" in the context of evil, cheapskate, cheat, etc. This has led to and been used to kill and imprison them, as well as take their land and property. Sadly they aren't the only group to be so affected, just the one that most consistently is targetted, because they haven't yet been wiped out (despite many attempts to do so) like the others (Cathars, Anabaptists, etc.).

[CTRL] JFK vs THE FEDERAL RESERVE
THE FOLLOWING IS FACT, NOT FICTION, NOT OPINION: President Kennedy signed Executive Order 0 on June 4, 1963. Some of these UNITED STATES NOTES were put into circulation. When Lyndon Johnson became president, the issuance of this National Currency was halted and banks were ordered to pull the U.S. NOTES out of circulation. Collectors still have a few of these U.S. NOTES which are distinctive because they have red serial numbers and a red seal of the U.S. Treasury. Here are more facts about this little known subject. Regards to All Nakano __ From: http://www.numismaticrareuscoin.com/nbn/JFK.html On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 0, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Common Law Institute has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid. When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy - the author of Profiles in Courage - signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency - money - without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 0 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assasinated. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America. "United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury. President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes. Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. This is a very simple matter of economics. The USN was backed by silver and the FRN was not backed by anything of instrinsic value. Executive Order 0 should have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level (virtually all of the nearly $9 trillion in federal debt has been created since 1963) if LBJ or any subsequent President were to enforce it. It would have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged interest to create new "money". Executive Order 0 gave the U.S.A. the ability to, once again, create its own money backed by silver and real value worth something. Again, according to our own research, just five months after Kennedy was assasinated, no more of the Series 1958 "Silver Certificates" were issued either, and they were subsequently removed from circulation. Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over the creation of money. It seems very apparent that President Kennedy challenged the "powers that exist behind U.S. and world finance". With true patriotic courage, JFK boldly faced the two most successful vehicles that have ever been used to drive up debt: 1) war (Viet Nam); and, 2) the creation of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts to have all U.S. troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive Order 0 would have destroyed the profits and control of the private Federal Reserve Bank. -- -- Executive Order 0 AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289 AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY By virtue of the authority vested in me by

Hubbard worked out one quarter of humanity is electing to 'transcend' Nicky - I co-created for a while with Barbara Marx Hubbard in the 1980s - We met at the UniSpace conference in Vienna in 1982; and then we worked as colleagues on a variety of projects for several years as a kind of consciousness presence countering the Reagan years in Washington, DC. I actually saw a draft of her channelings early in 1982 in a loft of a mutual friend in San Francisco. These channelings later became the core of the Book of CoCreation. In various postings on the Internet, Barbara has denied or backed away from the 25% humanity ratio statements. I tend to think she is right that her statements are being taken out of context. My understanding of the concept of co-creation - which I derived from her writings and from helping her develop her ideas - is that we have an interactive relationship with higher source and higher intelligence in the Universe. This is a message that appears in many transformational literature (See Exopolitics.com) Some of the confusion in people's minds may be sourced from the fundamentalist Christian "rapture" material.

Re: [CTRL] Talmud Exposed
I don't have to answer to you tenebroust, you are not the moderator as far
as I know, but for your information some believe that the Talmud is
Babylonian. That the Jews didn't write it so are not responsible for the
content.
Other say that the Jesuits wrote the Protocols of Zion.
Yet others say the Kaballa is Hindu.
So that leaves the Jews entirely innocent dosen't it?
My belief on this, which you have said you won't attack, is that the above
is entirely possible to my belief system, but I further believe that in
addition to the Jesuits getting the Protocols information it may have been
channeled,
because I don't think any human could think that up. These Jesuits may have
been originally genetically from the Pharisees, who would have Babylonian
blood of a non human nature. So they are not really 'chosen ones'.
So that means these books are attributed to Jews and they may not have
anything to do with writing them at all.
So that another view, and as you can see I post stuff from Catholics, Jews
{brit AM} and new agers so to me is is infomation only, I do not endorse
everything.
You only post comments so you only have your views, I present a variety.

[CTRL] Fwd: There Goes the Ozone Layer
OZONE HOLE OVER ARCTIC SURPRISES RESEARCH TEAM by David Perlman, Science Editor San Francisco Chronicle, May 31, 2000 Clouds of ice and acid high in the stratosphere disrupted the Northern Hemisphere's protective ozone layer this past winter, and scientists say the ozone loss poses potentially serious health problems for humans if it repeats in coming winters. An international team of researchers detected the unusually cold ozone-destroying clouds in the stratosphere over the Arctic last winter, and the team's leaders reported their findings yesterday at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Washington. The findings are surprising because scientists had expected that the protective ozone layer would recover after ozone-destroying chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, were banned by international treaty four years ago. But that has not happened, the team of nearly 200 scientists and technicians found. Instead, the same phenomenon that has opened a growing "ozone hole" over Antarctica each winter for more than 10 years is occurring over the Arctic Circle as well. "Ozone levels over the Arctic have been dropping for the past four to five years," said Brian Toon, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Colorado and a leader of the team. "As a result the stratosphere over the Arctic is beginning to look a lot like the Antarctic. "This is the first time, in fact, that we've seen the polar clouds lasting long enough to affect the ozone layer significantly," he said. The ozone loss in the Southern Hemisphere is already causing health problems for many people in Australia and New Zealand because the sun's damaging ultra-violet radiation is no longer blocked by the layer of ozone. The same could happen in populated areas of the United States, Canada and Russia if the Northern Hemisphere's ozone layer continues to thin, the researchers said. Using an array of satellites, weather balloons and high-flying aircraft, the scientists found that polar stratospheric clouds made of ice particles and nitric acid were larger and lasted longer than researchers had found in previous years. The clouds, known as PSCs, generally form about 13 miles above the poles each winter when temperatures drop to 110 degrees below zero, Toon said. This past winter, he reported, instruments on satellites, balloons and two high-altitude aircraft all showed that ozone concentrations in some parts of the stratosphere declined as much as 60 percent between November and March. The complex chemistry that caused the loss begins with the presence of chlorine atoms. Chlorine was released into the atmosphere for many years in the form of CFCs, which were once widely used for refrigerators, air-conditioning equipment and many industrial products. CFCs were banned in 1996 by a treaty known as the Montreal Protocol, but they are expected to linger in the upper atmosphere for many more years, scientists say. 'DRIZZLING' NITRIC ACID Highly reactive chlorine can destroy ozone molecules on contact, and it is the nitric acid in the polar clouds that transforms normally inert chlorine into the form that tears the ozone apart. This past winter, the researchers found, nitric acid "drizzled" down from clouds high in the stratosphere and turned even more chlorine than usual into the ozone-destroying form. Much of what the international team discovered was also predicted in computer models developed by a separate group of scientists led by Azadeh Tabazadeh, an atmospheric physicist at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View. The arctic atmosphere is not nearly as cold as it is over Antarctica, but it has been growing colder over the past 20 years by more than four degrees per decade, Tabazadeh said in an interview last week. Because of this, she said, this past winter should in fact have seen colder than normal temperatures over the Arctic, leading in turn to larger and longer-lasting polar stratospheric clouds. That is precisely what happened this past winter, and as a result the nitric acid compounds high in the stratosphere dropped down to turn the lingering chlorine atoms into ozone destroyers. "If our model is correct and if our estimate of the cooling rate in the stratosphere is correct, then we predict that by 2010 ozone in the (arctic) stratosphere will be decreased by up to 30 percent," Tabazadeh said. 'GREENHOUSE GASES' Ironically, the situation is made worse by heat-trapping gases that have been linked to global warming. Toon said the "greenhouse gases" in Earth's upper atmosphere that continually trap heat at the Earth's surface, also act like radiators to lower temperatures in the stratosphere. As a result, the icy polar clouds this past winter grew larger and colder and lasted longer than expected, he said. Although the clouds of ice and nitric acid particles form high in the stratosphere directly over

Re: [CTRL] Visit by Anti-Zionist Jews to Iran

He made no comments about the spy trial case itself. : The Rabbi's have been given initial indications that they are welcome : to attend the court sessions in Shiraz. : The Rabbis wish "to notify the heads of the Iranian regime that Torah : Jews wish to abide by the laws of the country and live as peaceful : citizens" Rabbi Lefkowitz said. "Unlike, Zionists who are interested : in causing the unsettlement of Jews in their countries of residence in : order for them to be forced to immigrate under Zionist control". : Earlier in a statement to AFP, Shiraz judiciary spokesman Hossein-Ali : Amiri stated that he would be prepared to meet the rabbis if they : requested it. : Rabbi Lefkowitz said "that the big fuss being made by the Zionist : State (referring to Israel) over the trial of the Jews was to dispel : the idea that Jews can live peacefully in a predominantly Moslem : state." : He added "Because if Jews live peacefully in Iran under a Moslem : country, so Jews can live peacefully under a Palestinian leadership."

Re: [CTRL] Another Article by Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you wrote: : Why truly Orthodox Jews oppose Zionism ( in both its secular and so : called "religious" forms ) and view it as heresy. : To explain why truly Orthodox Jews oppose Zionism we must first : clarify what the word Zionism actually means, we can then begin to see : why this is fundamentally opposed to to the Jewish religion. The : creator of the Zionist movement is generally considered to be Theodore : Hertzl who was a known professed atheist attempted to solve what has : come to be known as 'the Jewish problem', this means the historical : persecution of Jews in various lands in which they have lived from the : time they were exiled from the Holy Land in approximately 600BCE : ,Hertzl himself being an atheist and non-beleiver in Divine Providence : saw this problem as a purely natural problem which could be solved by : purely natural means, i.e.,the reason for persecution of Jews is that : the Jewish people is esssentially different from other peoples of the : world in that it does not possess its own land, state, government, : army, etc. The solutuion therefore, according to Hertzl was to create : a Jews to have a homeland and state etc. To religious Jews who, as has : been clarified in the previous articlebeleive in the eternity of the : divine laws and teachings of the Torah this unacceptable for 2 main : reasons. 1) the denial of Divine Providence on which Hertzl's solution : is built lies in total contradiction to the Torah and Judaism, as the : Rambam ( a Jewish philosopher and scholar who lived in the 11th : centuryCE, usually reffered to among non Jews as Maimonides ) writes : in his work on on the 13 fundamental principals of the Jewish faith, : "The First Foundation is to believe in the existence of the Creator, : blessed be He. This means that there exists a Being that is complete : in all ways and He is the cause of all else that exists. He is what : sustains their existence and the existence of all that sustains them. : It is inconceivable that He would not exist, for if He would not exist : then all else would cease to exist as well, nothing would remain". and : as he explains further any 'Jew' who denies one of these pricipals is : according to the Torah no longer considered part of the Jewish people : as he writes,"When a man believes all of these foundations and his : belief in them is clear, then he enters into the community of Israel : (i.e., the Jewish people.. [However,] if anyone does not accept : [even] one of these foundations, then he has left this community and : denied the fundamental. He is called a min and apikorus (two technical : terms for a heretic)". All Jews throughout history beleived as is : stated in the books of the prophets that our exile was divinely : decreed because we sinned as is clearly in the Torah, 2) The Talmud, : tractate Kesubos (p. 111a), on the basis of various scriptural verses : tells us that we are forbidden to use human force to bring an end to : the exile rather we must wait patiently, and remain loyal : peace-seeking citizens of the countries where we dwell until the : Messiahs coming when G-d himself will redeem us from the exile without : any human/military intervention as the Prophet tells us, "Thy sun : shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the : L-rd shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning : shall be ended A little one shall become a thousand, and a small : one a strong nation I the L-rd will hasten it in its time." (Isaiah : 60:20-22), of which our Sages expouned in the '"I (the L-rd)", and no : one else (Talmud), at this time there will begin an era of universal : peace between all nations when "they shall beat their swords into : plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift : up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more"(Isaiah : 2:4) and all will join together in the service of the one G-d,"For the : earth shall be full of the knowledge of the L-rd, as the waters cover : the sea"(Isaiah 11:9). The beleif in all this together with other : things which our are related in the Scriptures and writings of our : Sages about the Messianic era also form one of the 13 principles of : Jewish beleif enumerated by the great 11th century Jewish scholar : Maimonides (see above) he there explain, has as been stated above that : a 'Jew' beleiving in any one of these principles is according to the : Torah no longer considered part of the Jewish people, even though he : may be fully observant Jew in all other aspects. On the contrary : Orthodox Jews beleive that the sole remedy of the so called 'Jewish : Problem', for us is to keep the laws and teachings of the Torah and : the sole cause of it non-observance of the Torah as the Torah tells us : in many places, It should now be clear to the reader why truly : Orthodox Jews oppose Zionism, in all its forms. ven apart from the : above, the whole idea of 'Jewish
Re: [CTRL] Statement from Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews
: What does Neturei Karta mean? : To answer the question of what is the Neturei Karta we must first : consider the meaning of the the commonly used English terms 'Orthodox : Judaism' and 'Orthodox Jews', the answer to this for any beleiving Jew : is clear, Orthodox Judaism refers to the religion practised by Jews : through all generations, more specifically this means the study and : observence of tht Torah, the body laws and teachings that (as all : Orthodox Jews beleive) given to Moses by G-d and as later revealed : through the other Prophets and expounded in all generations until this : day by our great Rabbi's and Sage's who received the meaning and : interpretation of the Torah in a direct line of oral tradition from : Moses our teacher who in turn recieved it from God, this is what : should correctly be defined as Orthodox Judaism, all these laws and : teachings guide the life and World-view of every Orthodox Jew : individually and the Jewish people collectively in practise, and as is : explicitly stated in the Torah its teachings and laws are unchanging, : (Deuteronomy 12:32) "Everything that I command you you shall be : careful to do; you shall not add to it or take from it".(although what : the Torah requires of one may vary in different situations). We can : now go on to discuss the meaning of the term Neturei Karta, the term : Neturei Karta does not refer to a new movement or sect within Judaism, : it has come to be used in the past 70 years as a name for those Jews : who following the unchanging direction of the Torah and its Sages ( : see Why truly Orthodox Jews oppose Zionism and A collection of words : of Judaism's spiritual leaders of the past 150 years against Zionism : for the reason ) who remained the most steadfast in its opposition to : Zionism (in both its secular and so called "religious" forms) and the : Zionist 'state' viewing both the Zionist movement and their state as a : rebellion against G-d, although in truth many Jewish religious groups : both in and out of the holy land (all of whom it would be too numerous : to mention here) such as the Satmar and Toldos Aharon Hasidic groups : and also non Hasidic groups continue in their principalled oppostion : to Zionism and their 'state'. As a matter of interest the use of the : word Neturei Karta comes from story in the Jerusalem Talmud, a Jewish : sacred text where it is told that, Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Assi once : visited a city and asked its inhabitants, "Who are the guardians of : the City?". The people pointed in response to the policemen and : soldiers. To this the Sages replied, "These are not the Neturei Karta : (guardians of the city), the real guardians of the city are the sages : and pious men". The main branches of the Neturei Karta are in : Jerusalem, New York and London, although we have many other supporters : and funders worldwide. It may seem to some suprising that one of the : main branches of Neturei Karta is in Jerusalem since the whole essence : of the group is vhemently anti- Zionist this however is not the case, : among the Jewish people even in this current exile there have always : been certain spiritually elevated individuals who went to live in the : Holy Land because of a will to serve G-d in a higher atmosphere of : holiness, this however has always since the time of our exile been : governed according to the Torah lawby 2 conditions, 1) Only : individuals may leave the exile to live in the holy land but : mass-immigration to the Holy Land is forbidden, and 2) These : individuals must live as subjects of the non-Jewish government which : rules in the Holy Land ( this is derived in the Talmud tractate Ksubos : p110a from scriptural verses ), of course both these conditions are a : totally contradicted by the Zionists and their activities, Neturei : Karta in Jerusalem consists of individuals who do not recocnise the : Zionist 'state' and want to live under Arab rule, most of whom are : decendents of families who lived in Palestine peacefully under Arab : rule for up to 200 years before the Zionist occupation, here are a : couple of extracts from a letter written by Rabbi Amram Blau and Rabbi : Aharon Katzinellenbogen two late leaders of Neturei Karta Jerusalem : who both passed away around 20 years ago, to the UN which clearly : illustrates this point. : "We, the G-d fearing Jews who are the source of Judaism, who : beleive in our heavenly Father and guard his divine commandments, we : are the founders of the old Yishuv ( this refers to the old : settlements Jews in beginning of the eighteen hundrdeds which lived : peacefully as loyal citizens of the ruling Arab government ) in the : Holy Land. Our ancestors travelled here to the Holy Land amid great : danger and harsh conditions and settled here their families. the whole : purpose of their coming to settle here in the Holy Land was to : hishtakaya? here to raise their children and coming generations in an : atmosphere of truth and
