[CTRL] REMOVE YOUR KID FROM CORRUPT GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS
[ The Attachment contains a small harmless animation 'janet.exe'. ] Bard - Original Message - From: jail4judges To: www.jail4judges.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 10:12 PM Subject: Public Schools Turn To Thought Control NewsHawk® Inc.http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a392ac5687b4f.htmWith No Obligation to Educate, Schools Turn to Thought ControlBy Linda Gorman In case you were ever in doubt, the Colorado Court of Appeals has just made it official. Colorado public schools have no legally enforceable obligation to educate children. According to the court, parents and students cannot sue school districts because they "are not private students enrolled in a private vocational school but, instead, consist of the general public. They have not individually bargained with theschool district, nor individually paid for specific educationalservices. As a result, they cannot assert legal claims for the alleged failure to provide those unbargained-for services."[1] The Court found that "the contention that the quality of education provided by the school district is inadequate--is not a matter to be properly resolved by the courts." Had various courts not already found legal excuses for taking control of almost every other aspect of school operations, its restraint would be refreshing. In other words, the state may require that children attend school and that everyone pay school taxes. In return, citizens get to vote for one of the slates of school board candidates offered by the teacher's union. Though government entities are free to compel people to pay for lousy services over which they have little control, private entities are not. Private vocational schools failing to offer promised classes or hours of instruction can be sued. Having mastered the art of pretending to educate those required to attend it and having been freed of any responsibility to do otherwise, the Denver Public School System (DPS) is apparently planning to expand into pretending to provide mental, medical, and behavioral health services. To this end, the Center for Human Investment Policy at the University of Colorado Denver was "asked to develop a health/behavioralhealth needs assessment survey to gather broader input" to determine if "principals, nurses, psychologists, social workers, teachers and parents are in agreement about these issues."[2] Judging from the loaded questions, DPS officials want the power to pass judgment on the physical, mental, emotional, and social health of individual children and to treat those problems as they see fit. "What level of health and behavioral health care do you believe your school should provide?" asks question number 7. In addition to "Don't know," one may pick Basic Care, which includes referral for assessment and treatment, Intermediate Care, which adds counseling and care for chronic health problems, or Full Care which includes treatment for general medical and mental health problems and referral to specialists.There is no space for telling DPS elites to stay out of health care delivery until they have mastered the art of delivering reading, writing, and arithmetic. Note also that mental health and behavioral problems are lumped with medical ones despite the fact that medicine has a scientific basis and most mental and behavioral "health" assessments consist of little more than someone's opinion. The potential for abuse, for drugging the rebels and brainwashing those who disagree, is huge and already beginning to be realized. According to Jon E. Dougherty writing in WorldNetDaily, Derek Loutzenheiser, a 12-year-old student with an exemplary record in Holland, Michigan, was labeled a potential violence risk when he suggested, in a Social Studies class discussion, that one way to prevent school shootings would be to arm instructors. School officials told his parents that they would not have to involve Social Services if Derek was separated from other students and forced to enter the school's "Mentor"program so that an adult supervisor could monitor his thoughtprocesses.[3] Recall that Social Service bureaucrats have the power to declare parents guilty of child abuse until proven innocent, and to take their child from them until parents prove their innocence. School officials noted that Derek had violated the school's policy of non-violence by fighting back when attacked by three older students and had often spoken favorably about the First and Second Amendments. His parents noted that Derek had refused to sign a "Red Letter" vow of peace written by the principal that asked students to take a oath to turn in their friends for suspicious activity and to never defend themselves if attacked. In short, Derek had refused to parrot the party line and was judged behaviorally unhealthy. The Soviets pioneered this model by declaring those who disagreed with the government mentally aberrant and imprisoning them

Now I had to pass this on for surely nobody else will; this is a psychological profile, in essense, of Tipper Gore who got on TV and said "Oh Al, he is extremely sexy"well that never flew but they still try. No offense to Gore supporters on list, for once I was a Democrat but things change - so this picture painted of Tipper on the graceful porch of their Victorian Home, just does not equate to their dog, which news media found lying on porch in bad condition virtually dying slow death from unattended wounds, etc. Rather like that house, Mr. and Mrs. Slum Lord Gore own, which just does not equate to her many visits with the homelessnote in this item how they then ridicule these people - the old veteran, homeless and a bum - presented to people who are on public welfare and at the trough like Gores and Clinton - and then they expose these people as a joke? Some jokeonce in Columbus, in the early morning hours, two men came up to me and started talking.meanwhile a third kicked street people off sidewalk where a little heat gate gave them warmth - by the Lazarus Store Town Sreet sideso while I stood there watching these people being kicked off street, which never happened before, it occured to me Clinton was due in area - got to shoo away anything well, that showed face of America press should not see? So this profile on Tipper looks like it was drawn up by an astrologer with psychoogical background? Tipper, of course..she would have had to give out the stories. So the paradox of the Gores.from Slum Landlords to caring loving people, having fun with Secret Service and ridiculing the homeless? You believe this was done in the name of humanity? And Tipper describes herself as earthy.now there I would agree.Earthy - for she is about as low as you can get to subject the poor and homeless to her hospitality, only to turn it into a dog and pony burlesque for the news media - wonder if that dog lived or died? So read this Passion Play as reported by Tipper, no doubt authored in part by Tipper, and sent to news media, by Tipper - a modest, humble person - earthy, sexy husband, and no wonder creator of Superman knocked him off, for Superman was turning into New World Order, via Hollywood - and Gore, waitng in the wings..But the creator of Superman, knocked him off rather than see Al Gore attempt to play the role.

Tax Freedom 101 sent item and inside was an advertisement, the above, which I pulled up. None Dare Call This Conspiracy? If you read this advertisement you see how they would break Social Security - for employers have to pay portion of this - so get rid of it all, and get contract workers. Someday these "contract workers" who pay big portion to the Agencies like this, will wake up to find they have no Social Security - for can you imagine anyone living on what they will receive in wages, for the Agency who contracts out, takes the portion of the salary and the portion that maybe would have been paid into your taxes, etc. Do you think - say We the People decided no more Public Service Retiremen - especially Congress who are retiring on huge pension, do not pay into SS and yet, want Americans now receiving minimum wage in particular to "invest" their money in what - stock market is gambling, and the day will come when something new comes along and a lot of boys will go out of business. We invest in our government and they should invest in their most important asset - the workers of America or come 30 years from now we have a lot of street people with no social security, but at public trough along with people like Congress and Clinton - who line their nests with golden and silver feathers - at our expense. Saba - and this article see the conspiracy involved? The Winners and The Losers? Discover why America's workforce is converting to the many advantages of ... Non-Covered Employee Contracting Why Employee Contracting? Payroll preparation is a time consuming task that is not only an administrative challenge, but a deterrent to profit-making activities. Additionally, time spent in generating management and government reports, calculating payroll and unemployment taxes, and creating W-2's and other forms, could be used in more productive endeavors to increase profitability. Today, smart business people are becoming increasingly aware of the many cost-effective advantages of contracting out, not just for the services that are needed for their business, but for their workers as well. For this reason, employee contracting has become extremely popular in recent years. Under this working arrangement, a business owner contracts out for the services of a worker by the hour, just as he would a computer, a delivery van, or any other "item" needed to run his business. When an employer contracts for workers through a reliable and reputable workforce contracting firm such as American Contracting Services (ACS) as opposed to hiring his workers directly, he eliminates all of the hassles and headaches of payroll administration. He simply writes one check to ACS for all of his contracted workers and ACS takes care of the rest. Is This Anything Like Employee Leasing? There is really no fundamental difference between "employee leasing" and "non-covered employee contracting", except that the latter is not covered for social security purposes. The Code of Federal Regulations for Title 20 of the United States Code at section 404.1001 states at paragraph (a)(2): "If you are an employee, your covered work is called 'employment'". Section 404.1003 states: "Employment means, generally, any service covered by social security performed by an employee for his or her employer." So we see that not all forms of employment are the same. Covered employment is the legally defined condition of receiving covered earnings from a covered employer (i.e., who is using an employer identification number (EIN) and participating in social security). The covered employee (i.e., using a SSN and participating in social security) who volunteers to submit an IRS Form W-4 to a covered employer will have payroll taxes withheld. The worker who does not make use of a SSN (i.e., who is not participating in social security) simply contracts for his services under his protected right to do so pursuant to Article 1, Section 10 of the federal Constitution and receives all of his property (labor exchanged for a wage). How Does Non-Covered Employee Contracting Work? ACS can work with all or a portion of a business owner's current workforce allowing the workers to contract their services back to the business owner. The contracted workers are entered into ACS's database and computer payroll system and ACS then becomes responsible for the administration of payroll. The "transfer" can take place quickly and smoothly - during even a single pay period - and with virtually no disruptions or changes in the daily operation, except for the name on the paycheck. The business owner simply writes one check to ACS for his workers per pay cycle and ACS takes care of the rest. The business owner maintains normal supervision over the workers in his place of business. That means no more accountant bills, filing 941's, W-2's, etc. Therefore he can afford to free up more time to concentrate on building his business, and less time on having to maintain human

On Sunday, June 3, 2000, John Millis, Staff Director of the House Intelligence Committee, in charge of the day-to-day work of the committee, is reported to have committed suicide of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, in a suburban Virginia motel, according to a world-wide web publication, www.newsmax.com (dated Sunday, June 18, 2000, 5:43 p.m.: See www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2000/6/18/165743). The NewsMax story states: "A former CIA official brought this strange death to the attention of NewsMax.com. "The official said Millis was a man of responsibility', and he expressed surprise he would end up dead in a fleabag motel.' "The buzz in the Washington intelligence community is that Millis was being blackmailed. Some are surprised that his death hasn't set off alarm bells. "Even if the death was as claimed, a suicide, any unusual death of someone so knowledgeable about U.S. national security is typically treated with great concern. "For example, Millis could have been a target of a foreign intelligence agency. The fact that Millis' death, considering his high position, has drawn so little attention has some spooks scratching their heads. "The 47-year-old Millis was a veteran CIA operations officer.

Orlin Grabbe/A - The Protection Racket Cybercrime Early Warning: Another Government Ripoff First, put malicious retards in charge of security . . . The government's own computer systems may be derailing an effort between public agencies and private companies to create an early warning system for cyber attacks, the government's chief cyber-security man believes. Since 1998, a skittish private industry and the federal government have been working together to create a gigantic database of every hacking or computer hijacking incident, from the Love Bug viruses to small incidents that the public rarely hears about. By 2003, they hoped a constantly updated tool to combat, fight and forecast cyber attacks would emerge. Aside from the usual pitfalls of a private/public endeavor, the project has been moving along smoothly. But last week, GAO director Joel C. Willemssen, director of civil agencies information systems, told a congressional committee that security for the government computers where the info would be stored is so bad it may be driving away private business. Why trust the government? Why would a business trust sensitive information with a government in which 22 of its largest agencies suffer from some form of computer security problems, including poor controls over access to sensitive data?, he testified. Some agency managers are getting "overly broad" access privileges to very large user groups, and some users' shared accounts and passwords are posted in plain view, Willemssen said. The problems seem to be a "poor security management program" including testing systems for security flaws, he says. "To truly engage the private sector, the federal government needs to be a model for computer security. Currently, the federal government is not a model," he testified. Bruce Shier, chief technology officer of Counterpane Internet Security Inc. in San Jose, Calif., says private businesses are well aware that historically the government hasn't done well protecting its own secrets. "When you share your information you have to ask, can you protect it? They are asking for critical information about vulnerabilities. Or security events that aren't made public by company, but you don't want it out. Suddenly it's all over the world," he said. "A large collection of secret information is, by definition, a target." Project derailed as momentum builds The problem threatens to derail the effort just as it is beginning to pick up momentum. President Clinton hatched the idea in 1998. Since 1999, several industries have begun setting up information sharing networks. These Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) will make up the early warning database. The first sector to have an ISAC was the financial industry, which has had one since 1999. In June, the Information Technology Association of America will be organizing an ISAC as well. Dan Woolley, the president of Global Integrity Inc. is familiar with both ISACs. He says the information is run through an "anonymyzer," a program that strips the information of any material identifying its source. Then it's either stored or disseminated, depending on the urgency. Bill to protect private information While the government tackles the problem of illegal information gathering, a bill in Congress is trying to take care of another industry concern: the legal release of information to the public. The bill is essentially a change in the Freedom of Information Act, which governs what information public entities must make available to the public. The bill would make anything in an ISAC exempt from public FOIA requests. It would also bar federal or state agencies from using the information to sue in civil court and let President Clinton hire non-government agencies to talk about the government's cyber security.

[CTRL] Fwd: Mechanics of Seizure Cash Flows in the Central California Judicial District
Prevailing Winds has an article in the latest issue about the Donald Scott attempted seizure that may inform our understanding of the mechanics of seizure cash flows and how the federal seizure industry has grown. My impression from reading the DOJ Asset Forfeiture Fund financial statements is that the state and local rebates flow back through judicial districts. The main players on the federal side appear to be the District Offices of the US Attorney's around the country which must be organized and hence the cash flows back through judicial districts corresponding somehow to the federal district courts. (The HUD Housing Fraud initiative was legislated to correspond to judicial districts.) When the rebates dropped substantially in 1996 (at the same time that the GAO audit was published--March 1996---with a very negative report on the DOJ asset forfeiture fund), the drop appeared to be concentrated in only some of the markets---generally the larger ones. The largest cash flows appear to correspond to the markets with the highest concentration of traditional HUD defaults and financial fraud. The biggest looks to be California's Central District, which is LA and the LA area. California Central District also appears to be the target of one of the HUD Housing Fraud Initiatives which should be going on now. If the Donald Scott case is representative it would appear that the main players for local government are the District Attorney's offices and the county Sheriffs. The courts must figure in, but I do not know how yet. Comdenation and bankruptcy issues appear to be two of the pieces important at the local level to some of the action. The Donald Scott attempted seizure was on October 2 1992 (we should put in chronology). There was a 32 man assault team supported by the efforts of additional team members before the raid. Present for the federal government was: The National Park Service The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (a private government contractor described as one of the most significant NASA and DOD contractors) The DEA A US Border Patrol search unit using a US Army surveillance aircraft The primary player for the local government was the LA County Sheriff's Office which the article indicates would participate in substantial cash booty (presumably this is the local rebate piecemore and more it looks like it flows through the county's and the sheriff's offices...I do not understand the structure of enforcement, but it appears the sheriffs also attach the IRS tax liens to homes. Perhaps the Sheriffs are the folks who deal with all the property issues) It turns out that individual cash rewards were also involved "And, perhaps most troubling, the lead investging officer would get a cash percentage of the total value. He is Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office narcotics detective Gary Spencer." (Prevailing Winds, Murder in Malibu, by Joseph Bosco). The article mentions that no teams from the Ventura County District Attorney's office or Shefiff's officer were present, where Scott's ranch was located. It appears that the District Attorney in Ventura County (Bradbury) has made an important contribution to getting the facts of what happened illuminated. Spencer was the officer who shot and killed Scott during the raid, that produced no evidence of drugs or wrongdoing and did not result in a seizure. Members of the LAPD canine unit were also present as was the California National Guard and members of the California DEA. Also present was an informant who had given testimony that there was marijauna growing on Scott's ranch and who stood to make a % of the profits. There is an indication in the article that Scott had sued or been involved in litigation against the National Park Service and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory over the land. It appears that they wanted it, but I can not tell what the facts are. One of the most informative pieces in this article as it may relate to our situation is the presence of individual financial incentives allocated to government officials from seizures. The behavior that we have seen from the HUD IG office and the attorneys at the District US Attorney's office and Commercial Litigation branch is compatible with such personal cash incentives for themselves or for some of the players in the system. The behavior of this portion of the team is much more compatible with commissioned bond salesmen or real estate brokers than government officials. In the HUD IG audit of the Operation Safe Home program, the HUD IG audit team remarked on the substantial number of LEAP payments that were being made without documentation or supporting paperwork. I wonder if LEAP is being used to provide a % cash bonus system sub rosa to individuals who consummate successful cash transactions (seizures, civil money penalties, negotiated settlements).

Martin, 11 July 2000 Four years into the British and Australian gun bans, the verdict on gun control is in: disaster. Those who argue for the right of self-defense have always said that banning guns would disarm the law-abiding while encouraging the criminals. Yet eve= n by the standards of most pro-gun arguments, the actual results of total gun control have been startling, leaving anti-gunners and government officials at a loss to explain the debacle. Take Australia. Just over one year ago, the Australian government spent more than $500 million to confiscate 640,381 privately-owned firearms, even using deadly force. This followed a partial ban of over 60 percent of the country=B9s private weapons in 1996. The promise: a dramatic reduction in crime, in exchange for the right of common citizens to defend themselves. The results: utter mayhem, showing yet again that, as in most things, government cannot take care of you as well as you can. In the first year of the ban, Australian homicides increased 3.2 percent, and in the state of Victoria, gun homicides shot up 300 percent. Assaults increased 8.6 percent. Armed robberies rose a whopping 44 percent, after having dropped for 25 straight years before the ban. Since then, homicides have jumped 29 percent, kidnappings have risen 38 percent, assaults have increased 17 percent, and armed robberies have skyrocketed an additional 73 percent. In Australia today, police can go house to house, enter your home without a warrant, search for guns, copy your hard drive, seize your records, and tak= e you to jail. What they cannot do is protect you. It=B9s worse in Britain, where virtually all guns were banned in 1996 following the Dunblane massacre. Americans tend to believe Britain a peaceful place with little crime. Post-confiscation, quite the opposite proves true: the crime rate in England and Wales is now 60 percent higher than in the United States. Indeed, it is higher than in every one of the 5= 0 states. As in Australia, British police are incapable of stopping this growing anarchy. Despite having more policemen per capita than the U.S., despite installing more electronic surveillance equipment than any other Western country, robbery and sex crimes have shot ahead of U.S. numbers, property crime is now twice as high, and assaults and muggings are now between twice and three times as high as in America. Perhaps the most telling statistic is the "hot burglary" rate; i.e., those burglaries which are committed while the homeowner is present. In the United States, these burglaries account for just over 10 percent of the total: criminals fear getting shot. In post-gun-ban Britain, however, "ho= t burglaries" account for more than half of the total, meaning that vastly more Britons face an armed intruder each year, with absolutely no way to defend themselves either from the burglary itself or from whatever other assaults, rapes or murders the criminal may choose to commit. The contrast between this horror story and the American experience is vast. The U.S. crime rate has fallen precipitously throughout the 1990s, largely driven downward by those states which have enacted concealed-carry laws. An= d in fact, gun ownership has been shown in survey after survey to be one of the single most important factors in preventing violent crime. Of particular note, Janet Reno=B9s Department of Justice commissioned a surve= y in 1994 by the openly anti-gun Police Foundation. That exhaustive study, "Guns in America: National Survey on Private Ownership and Use of Firearms,= " was completed in 1997, and its conclusion was clear: "Guns are used far mor= e often to defend against crime than to perpetrate crime." In the year studied, 1.5 million Americans used guns to defend their homes, families or property. In the words of the study, literally "millions of attempted assaults, thefts and break-ins were foiled by armed citizens during the 12-month period." And as the study itself admits, its conclusion= s are "directly comparable" to other similar studies: the Police Foundation's work was the fifteenth national survey to reach this same conclusion in the past twenty-two years, every one of them having found results in the same range. The common sense of gun ownership is inescapable: a family, or a single mother, alone at home, facing an armed intruder in the middle of the night, does not have time to call 911.

[CTRL] [3] The Government-Criminal Connection
from: http://www.skolnicksreport.com/g-cconn3.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.skolnicksreport.com/g-cconn3.html"Sherman Skolnick's Report/A - The Government-Criminal Connection - Part 3 by Sherman H. Skolnick In the past, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has had movies and TV series promoting them as the men (and later women) in the white hats. Yet, from the time J. Edgar Hoover took over the FBI in the 1920s, to his murder in 1972, the Bureau was America's secret political police. And there are strong reasons to believe it still is that. Starting in the 1930s, Hoover used his "muscle" to block any would-be radio station owner that was linked with labor unions or labor groups. Exactly how he had his way with the then new Federal Communications Commission to strangle pro-labor radio stations is a little-known subject. One of the few exceptions was WCFL Radio in Chicago. It was owned by the Chicago Federation of Labor. If you listened to them starting in the 1960s, however, you would not suspect or detect that they were supposedly "The Voice of Labor". They had the usual format, just like every other commercial radio station. They did NOT push labor's point of view and hence were acceptable to the FBI. For all of the years, even now, the policies of the FBI include: [1] Through FBI-paid agents provocateur, they framed labor union organizers and activists as "bombers" and "violence-makers", or simply tagged them as "subversives" and "communists", a label too often used to wreck the voices of labor. [2] The FBI targets those whose politics are incorrect, as "subversives". To save their time and breath, the FBI simply called most civil rights marchers and anti-Viet Nam War activists, and environmentalists, and such, as "communists", from the Bureau's standpoint, sufficient to put such persons out of action and bad-mouthed in the monopoly press. [3] According to the FBI mantra, there was and is no "organized crime" or mafia, or La Cosa Nostra. It was all in the "imagination" of book and magazine writers, a phantasy. [4] According to the Bureau's agenda, certain categories of persons were not only "subversives" but using more current lingo, labeled "terrorists". (With the help of the FBI, Hillary Rodham Clinton, disturbed by our public access Cable TV programs, had me and an associate of mine, Joseph Andreuccetti, falsely tagged as "domestic terrorists" and put on her "enemies list". The White House-instigated Federal Gestapo followed me in my wheelchair all over the federal courthouse, even waiting for me outside the government building toilet. I always offered a full report of how much government tissue and paper towels I used up.) The bulk of those targeted by the FBI as "terrorists" are those whose origin or descent was from the Southern Hemisphere, including Africa and the Middle East. That is, people of color are most often labeled "terrorists" by the Bureau under their bigotted racial policies. [5] Under FBI policies, there is no Russian mafiya operating in the U.S., such as in Chicago, Cleveland, and New York. None, that is, that the FBI wants to tangle with. This mafiya is made up of assassins and cut-throats, many formerly with the dreaded Soviet secret political police, the KGB. And the FBI, in many ways incompetent to deal with such, are simply blind to it. The FBI does not wish to enter the political and financial world of the Russian mafiya that includes U.S. units of Mexican Banks interwoven with the dope traffic and the family of George Herbert Walker Bush and his sons. Visit our website series, "Greenspan Aids and Bribes the Bush Family". [6] Under their policies, the FBI's specialty has been to supposedly pursue small-time bank robbers or misguided robbers of post offices. Certainly this was so in the 1930s as to banks, when Hoover planted a lot of stories in the lackey press about "G-Men". Veteran FBI agents, however, have given us details of how Hoover took pay-offs to let a few bank robbers go free. After all, the "imaginary" organized hoodlums owned and blackmailed Hoover who was of Swiss descent. (Hey! Did he have a secret Swiss account?) They knew he was gay and they apparently had pictures of his sexual episodes with his live-in top FBI official. They let him corruptly win at gangster-linked race tracks where he often went as their guest. A criminal booze octopus set up a supposed "foundation" to benefit him financially and personally. (Read "Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover", by Anthony Summers.) An understanding of the "Pizza Connection" episodes would convince any open-minded person that the FBI is a highly politicized and corrupt operation. The supposed terminus of the worldwide dope link to pizzerias in the U.S. was a pizza parlor in the tiny town of Oregon, Illinois. Apparently nothing came up, however, in the FBI/U.S. Justice Department jurisdiction in the Middle West. [By the way, unlike the American CIA set up by a charter, the

from: http://www.skolnicksreport.com/dragonlady1.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.skolnicksreport.com/dragonlady1.html"Sherman Skolnick's Report/A - DRAGON LADY - Part 1 by Sherman H. Skolnick Since the time of the Borgias, there was no one just like her. Some swore by her, proclaiming she was the best for the country. Others, swore at her, that she is the curse of the nation. Were they talking about Madame Chiang Kai-shek, born May-ling Soong, First Lady of China? Her Harvard-educated brother, T.V. Soong, was described as one of the richest men in the world. The Soongs were tied to international big business and shadowy high-level criminals in and out of governments, worldwide. OR WERE THEY TALKING ABOUT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON? To some, there is quite a similarity. With her family's help, in his quest for power, Madame Chiang Kai-shek's husand, the Generalissimo, shook down the criminal bankers of Shanghai. A great deal of the nation's money and assets were centered there. Madame Clinton's husband, the President and Commander-in-Chief, on behalf of international big business, shook down the criminal bankers of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, as well as the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. A great source of money and assets is also there. When Clinton, as President, came to give a speech from time to time, at CME or the "Merc" as it is called, the pressfakers never reported what it was he said. Madame Chiang's secret links to power and money, financed her husband's political ambitions. Madame Clinton's links, similarly, did the same for her alleged husband. It was a marriage of convenience. The Generalissimo's concubines were more or less known. It has been more or less known who the sex-mates are and were of Hillary's alleged husband as well. The secret societies and their monopoly press create the images of those with disturbing roles in human history, as May-ling Soong and Hillary Rodham. As one author described the Soongs: "The Soongs captivated publisher Henry Luce, of Time Inc., who enlarged their fame in his magazines. Luce, himself the child of American missionaries in China, helped to keep the Soongs in power as vestiges of his own lost horizon, symbols of a romantic China that had become a figment of his imagination. He provided the distorted lens through which many Americans came to see the events in Asia. Scores of influential Americans fell under the Soong spell--operatic characters like Claire Chennault of the Flying Tigers, journalists such as Theodore White and Joseph Alsop, famous Washington lobbyists, such as Roosevelt's friend 'Tommy the Cork' Corcoran. While FDR joked about letting himself be 'vamped' by Madame Chiang, other Americans were nearly done in by the Soongs, especially those who argued for a more objective view of the Chinese quandary, men like General Joseph W. Stilwell, and diplomats John Service and John Paton Davies. "This is their story as well. It is also the story of the Russian secret agent" "The Soong Dynasty" by Sterling Seagrave, Harper Row, New York, 1985, pages 9-10. Sound familiar? How the Clintons captivated Hollywood movie-makers and the lackeys in the press, painting a romantic and imaginary view of America and its lost horizons, under the Clintons. Hillary's father, Hugh Rodham, Sr., was reportedly a "fixer" and "bagman" for banks and insurance companies, here and overseas. Her brothers have reportedly aligned themselves with business in the former Soviet Union, described by some as with the criminal oligarchs of the Russian mafiya and their laundry banks. In the Clinton administration, there was no effective scrutiny or restraint of the Russian criminals operating in U.S. big cities, like Chicago, Cleveland, and New York. America's secret political police, the FBI, the CIA, and the DEA, have been willfully blind. With impunity, dope from Southwest Red China floods into the U.S. through Chicago as a major intake point. According to law enforcement personnel, the Rodhams reportedly stem from links to the Gambino crime family in Scranton, Pennsylvania. We were among the first to publicly mention that Bill and Hillary are a CIA couple, each from an early age with their own separate agenda. Operating under the wing of the CIA Station Chief in London, Bill pretended to be an alleged "draft evader", a convenient cover to infiltrate the Viet Nam Peace movement in Europe. So sponsored and financed, he went to Moscow with shadow Strobe Talbott, and somehow together they unearthed the secret transcript of Krushchev lambasting the old-line Stalinists. Used as propaganda by the American CIA. Hillary became Board Chairman of a reputedly CIA proprietary, the New World Foundation, financing CIA agents provocateurs used to frame up and discredit real dissidents. Jointly with George Herbert Walker Bush, Hillary was reportedly involved in supplying weapons in the 1980s to Iraq in their war with Iran. The purpose was to

Senator Dan Qualye first introduced John Hull to Oliver North and then his staffer Rob Owens became North's courier. Perhaps now some of the scandal here can be printed. Dick Morris who ran the White House spin on OKBOMB is running Quayle for governor. Quayle is putting up $10 million for that. Morris engineered Quayle onto the Bush ticket.

If somebody has the possibility to translate the newsletter into any other language, please let us know. Sure thing, we also want to thank all the people who distributed the newsletter all over the world! For those who don't know what this is all about a few words of explanation: evil:austria is our monthly newsletter which supplies info about the actual situation in Austria and the consequences of the new government. We have decided to produce this newsletter because we realized that the knowledge about the real situation in Austria, especially abroad, is very limited. The government has achieved its target that with the discussion about the "sanctions" of the European Union the daily madness in this country has vanished from the agenda of the international public. We want to avoid this resulting in a "normalization" of the right/right-extreme Austrian government. We also do this for egoistic reasons, because international monitoring prevents things from getting even worse at least for the moment. Therefore, it is very important to spread this Newsletter as far as possible, so that as many people as possible are informed about the situation in Austria. Thus: distribute it, distribute it, distribute it! Feel free to use this material for other publications, but please, send us a mail if you do so.

Astonishingly, police reject this demand and refer to a decision of the supreme court in 1985 which ruled that non-announcement of a demonstration is not sufficient for a ban. Moreover, it would be a problem to break apart 2000-3000 protesters with 100-150 police officers. However, now they go for intimidation!

Re: [CTRL] Ben Creme and his Maitreya
Hi Robin, Here's a reprint of the full page ad for Maitreya I saved ... Reprinted from the Los Angeles Times: April 25, 1982 THE WORLD HAS HAD ENOUGH . . . OF HUNGER, INJUSTICE, WAR. IN ANSWER TO YOUR CALL FOR HELP, AS WORLD TEACHER FOR ALL HUMANITY, THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE. HOW WILL WE RECOGNIZE HIM? Look for a modern man concerned with modern problems - political, economic, and social. Since July, 1977, the Christ has been emerging as a spokesman for a group or community in a well-known modern country. He is not a religious leader, but an educator in the broadest sense of the word - pointing the way out of our present crisis. We will recognize him by his extraordinary spiritual potency, the university of his viewpoint, and his love for all humanity. He comes not to judge, but to aid and to inspire. WHO IS THE CHRIST? Throughout history, humanity's evolution has been guided by a group of enlightened men, the masters of wisdom. They have remained largely in the remote desert and mountainous places of earth, working mainly through their disciples who live openly in the world. This message of the Christ's reappearance has been given primarily by such a disciple trained for his task for over 20 years. At the center of his "spiritual hierarchy" stands the World Teacher, Lord Maitreya and the Jews await the Messiah, the Buddhists the fifth Buddah, the Moslems the Imam Mahdi, and the Hindus await Krishna. These are the names for one individual. His presence in the world guarantees there will be no third world war. WHAT IS HE SAYING? "My task will be to show you how to live together peacefully as brothers. This is simpler than you imagine, My Friends, for it requires only the acceptance of sharing." "How can you be content with the modes within which you now live: when millions starve and die and squalor; when the rich parade their wealth before the poor; when each man is his neighbor's enemy; when no man trusts his brother?" "Allow me to show you the way forward into a simpler life where no man lacks; where no two days are alike: where the Job of Brotherhood manifests through all men." "Take your brother's need as the measure for your action and solve the problem of the world." WHEN WILL WE SEE HIM? "He has not as yet declared his true status, and his location is known only to a very few disciples. One of these has announced that soon the Christ will acknowledge his identity and within the next two months will speak to humanity through a worldwide television and radio broadcast. His message will be heard inwardly, telepathically, by all people in their own language. From that time, with his help, we will build a new world. WITHOUT SHARING THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE; WITHOUT JUSTICE THERE CAN BE NO PEACE; WITHOUT PEACE THERE CAN BE NO FUTURE. This statement is appearing simultaneously in major cities of the world.

David Spangler has defined that initiation as a Luciferic initiation and for those who cannot accept the " New Christ " - they will be sent to another dimension other than physical incarnation, according to Spangler. Creme says that cash will be abolished and the world will go to a more rational exchange, such as a computerized barter economy. Creme has said that the " initiations " will be given on a mass planetary basis in a "revitalized Christian church" and in the Masonic Lodges and other esoteric organizations. Creme said there would be the "sword of cleavage" for all who would not go willingly into the future with the so-called new "Christ". Question... why doesn't he just come out from the rock he's been hiding under? 18 years isn't long enough to hide? Maybe two more years will give him the guts to do what he has to do.

[CTRL] Rebellion: Two kinds
Title: Rebellion: Two kinds WEDNESDAYJANUARY 192000 Rebellion: Two kinds On the very same day, official voices of the ruling regime celebrated one group of rebels in American history while condemning another. You would have to be an expert in the peculiar politics of race and government power to untangle the meaning and understand the inherent contradictions. First, we had officially sponsored events in all major urban centers heralding M.L. King -- er, sorry, the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. -- as the man of the century, if not of all time. The story is familiar: he courageously stood up to established power and nonviolently defied the technicalities of law in order to see that justice was done, and became a victim of a government smear campaign bent on destroying him. Yet he persevered to the end, even to the point of giving his life for a principle that is higher than any government. Second, we had tens of thousands bused in to protest the Southern battle flag -- itself a symbol of rebellion against government -- atop the state capitol of South Carolina. The protestors say that the flag represents the wrong kind of rebellion, one that defied the kind of government power that official organs of opinion favor. Defiance in one case is good; defiance in the other case is bad. Apparently, the lesson that government should be resisted cannot be generalized. Those who insist on flying the Southern battle flag are giving honor to treason, explains Glenn Lowery of Boston University, writing in the New York Times. I am disgusted by the spectacle of civil authorities in South Carolina officially and publicly embracing a symbol of illegal rebellion against legitimate national authority, says the sometime champion of law and order. In retrospect, we can now see that those who fought under the Confederate flag were treasonous rebels bent on the destruction of our union. Let's change a few words and see how it sounds. I am disgusted by the spectacle of self-appointed black leaders embracing Martin Luther King, a symbol of illegal rebellion against legitimate authority. Continuing: In retrospect we can now see that those who marched for civil rights were treasonous rebels bent on the destruction of our Constitution. Not much between the two sentences to change. They both celebrate established legal authority and condemn those who would violate it. Both sentiments are consistently anti-rebel. And yet you won't see the words in the second rendering printed in any major newspaper, and, if they were, the writer and the editor would be fired, or ordered to undergo psychiatric testing. How is it that on the same day, the same groups and the same people, can on the one hand uphold rebellion against legal authority as morally required, and on the other hand as morally reprehensible? Why are the Southern secessionists who bravely stood up to a ruling regime that was oppressing them called hateful and treasonous, while the civil rights protestors who defied a ruling regime called saintly models of courage in the pursuit of justice? On the face of it, the movements were not that different in tactics. The South was non-violent in the sense that the Confederates had no desire to go to war. They did not want to overthrow the central government in Washington, D.C. They had no desire to tell any Northerner how to live. They merely wanted to secede, which means to be left alone, and went to war only to defend their homeland against brutal invasion. Lowery himself hints at the answer by saying that those who fly the battle flag are obstructing social justice while those who favor civil rights are promoting the same. But this is not really an answer to our question; it merely

This item on Jesse Ventura is interesting; he is an enigma and one has the feeling that he is with NWO - for they took WWW for international appeal. Otherwise, like big mouth bass, not quiet seal. What concerns me this game where a father killed another father, at hockey gameMSNBC put out as though the man killed was a criminal with long record really bad - here it was a case of a father trying to get his kids, from a drug addicted mother and he was violated for under restraining order...today they try to get off the hook, for the have defamed this dead man names. So Wrestling - is a vicious, murderous scene for those that like that kind of stuff; body slams, throwing people out of rings.blood all over, and vicious is as vicious does - and do kids watch this - so as a result of the murder, actually manslaughter of the father leaving 3 or so kids. parents have to take course in non violence nowhockey can be a vicious game. But does Jesse Ventura really set a good example? He has the support of the Atheists, when religion is neither a test or qualification for holding public office. Well Jesse ran for President, and I imagine by now if he runs again - his whole life will be brught out this article re Navy Seals, makes one wonder. Monkey see, Monkey do...so much for Television and violence.and Littlton. Saba A CURSOR INTERNET EXCLUSIVE "[Jesse] Ventura is more candid than 99% of pols." TIME, December 27, 1999 Cursor research finds Ventura not as candid about his navy SEAL past as his spokesman claims by Cursor Staff POSTED DECEMBER 21, 1999--After ex-Navy SEAL officer Bill Salisbury challenged Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura's SEAL credentials in a December 2nd cover story in the San Diego Reader, available online at http://www.cursor.org/, the Governor's office confirmed that Ventura had been a member of an Underwater Demolition Team (UDT), and not an elite Navy SEAL. But, they argued that because the two entities merged under the SEAL banner in 1983, UDT's can now refer to themselves as SEALs, even though in Ventura's case, his active military service ended ten years before the merger occurred--not unlike a former American Football League player saying that he had played in the NFL because the two leagues are now merged into one. Another defense of the Governor was offered by spokesman John Wodele. In a December 14th interview with Minnesota Public Radio, Wodele assured listeners that Ventura never tries to mislead reporters or the public, and that he's careful to equivocate whenever referring to himself as a SEAL. MPR: Ventura's spokesman, John Wodele, confirms Ventura was in the UDT's, and he says the Governor has never tried to convince people otherwise. Wodele: If you travel with the governor and spend any amount of time with him, he is very forthcoming and accurate in terms of his relationship with the United States Navy. He talks about the fact that he was in the Underwater Demolition Team. In fact, he has corrected me in the past. Cursor extensively researched what the Governor has said on the record about his Navy SEAL past, and found that Wodele may be the only person he has ever corrected. In print articles and broadcast appearances, Ventura lets interviewers refer to him as a Navy SEAL, or an ex-Navy SEAL--which they routinely do--without correcting them. He also consistently refers to himself as a SEAL, without explaining the distinctions between SEALs and UDTs. Nowhere in the complete text or transcipts of the following articles, interviews, or television and radio programs, are the words Underwater Demolition Team, or the acronym UDT, ever mentioned. Navy SEAL, union member, volunteer high school football coach, outdoorsman, husband of 23 years, father of two. Ventura Campaign Ad I'm a warrior at heart. I'm an ex-Navy SEAL.

First, we want to thank everybody for the overwhelming positive reactions to the first issue of evil:austria.The reactions clearly pointed out the importance and necessity of this project and give us the strength to continue!! We were absolutely happy about the many offers to help with the various translations, and especially about tranlations emerging suddenly :- So, the last version now exists in German, English, Spanish, French, and Finnish. Whoever wants a specific translation should simply send us an email or have a look at our brand-new homepage. At http://www.raw.at you will find the different translations of evil:austria in the section 'Newsletter' (and of course a lot of other interesting stuff!). If somebody has the possibility to translate the newsletter into any other language, please let us know. Sure thing, we also want to thank all the people who distributed the newsletter all over the world! For those who don't know what this is all about a few words of explanation: evil:austria is our monthly newsletter which supplies info about the actual situation in Austria and the consequences of the new government. We have decided to produce this newsletter because we realized that the knowledge about the real situation in Austria, especially abroad, is very limited. The government has achieved its target that with the discussion about the "sanctions" of the European Union the daily madness in this country has vanished from the agenda of the international public. We want to avoid this resulting in a "normalization" of the right/right-extreme Austrian government. We also do this for egoistic reasons, because international monitoring prevents things from getting even worse at least for the moment. Therefore, it is very important to spread this Newsletter as far as possible, so that as many people as possible are informed about the situation in Austria. Thus: distribute it, distribute it, distribute it! Feel free to use this material for other publications, but please, send us a mail if you do so.

Astonishingly, police reject this demand and refer to a decision of the supreme court in 1985 which ruled that non-announcement of a demonstration is not sufficient for a ban. Moreover, it would be a problem to break apart 2000-3000 protesters with 100-150 police officers. However, now they go for intimidation!

[CTRL] ...where citizens are disarmed ...day burglary is commonplace
[ Attachment is a small safe to open animation. ] Great Britain and Gun Control: With Neither Liberty nor Safety Miguel A. Faria Jr., M.D. Tuesday July 11, 2000 See NewsMax.com Hot Topics for more on guns and gun control. http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=2000/3/9/131803 Great Britain, which gave birth to the great political philosophy of classic liberalism and to America, the flowering of Western civilization, is in moral decline. Not content with holding Gen. Augusto Pinochet hostage, Britain now holds its own citizens hostage like an authoritarian nation that distrusts its own citizens with firearms.(1) Since 1996, when a madman went on a rampage killing 16 children and their teacher in Dunblane, Scotland, Great Britain has tightened to strangulation its already draconian gun control laws so that only certified members of approved target-shooting clubs are allowed to own guns. These must be .22 caliber or smaller and must be kept locked up at the club at all times. Guns have been virtually banned, and the God-given right to self-defense has been virtually abrogated in England. Dramatic Increase in Robberies and Other Crime And yet, crime has steadily risen in Britain in the last several years. The U.S. Department of Justice says a person is nearly twice as likely to be robbed, assaulted or have a vehicle stolen in Britain as in the United States. Although the U.S. remains ahead of Britain in rates of murder and rape, the gap is rapidly narrowing. And while robberies rose 81 percent in England and Wales, they fell 28 percent in the United States. Likewise, assaults increased 53 percent in England and Wales but declined 27 percent in the United States. Burglaries doubled in England but fell by half in the United States. And while motor vehicle theft rose 51 percent in England, it remained the same in America. To make matters worse for England and this is also true for Canada in those countries where citizens are disarmed in their own homes, day burglary is commonplace and dangerous because criminals know they will not be shot at if caught flagrante delicto. Not so in the U.S., where burglars not only prefer night burglaries but try to make sure homeowners are not in to avoid being shot at by the intended victim. The rising tide of thievery and burglaries in England has dubbed Britain "a nation of thieves," wrote the London Sunday Times, which noted: "More than one in three British men has a criminal record by the age of 40. While America has cut its crime rate dramatically Britain remains the crime capital of the West. Where have we gone wrong?"(2) Perhaps England should look introspectively. The most drastic ascendancy of crimes in Britain was found in those types of felonies where recent studies in the U.S. have shown that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens not only save lives but also protect private property, reduce injuries to good people, and crime is generally deterred.(3) Writing in the May/June 2000 issue of the Medical Sentinel of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), Dr. Michael S. Brown writes that while the British laws have disarmed law-abiding citizens, "a black market has flourished, as usual with prohibitions, to supply criminal elements. Up to 3 million illegal guns are in circulation in Britain, leading to a rise in drive-by shootings and gangland-style executions." Dr. Brown continues, "Young criminals (ages 15 to 25 with prior convictions), according to the Sunday Times, 'own or have access to guns ranging from Beretta submachine guns to Luger pistols, which can be bought from underworld dealers for as little as £200 ($320 U.S.).'"(4) In the U.S., ordinary citizens shoot three times as many criminals in self-defense as do the police. Recent work by professor John R. Lott Jr. at the University of Chicago has shown that allowing people to carry concealed weapons deters violent crime - without any apparent increase in accidental death or suicide. While neither state waiting periods nor the federal Brady Law is associated with a reduction in crime rates, adopting concealed-carry gun laws cuts death rates from public, multiple shootings like those in Littleton, Colo., this year or Dunblane, Scotland in 1996. Professor Lott found that when concealed-carry laws went into effect in a given county, murders fell by 8 percent, rapes by 5 percent and aggravated assaults by 7 percent. For each additional year concealed-carry gun laws have been in effect, the murder rate declines by 3 percent, robberies by more than 2 percent and rape by 1 percent.(5) Women Using Guns for Self-Defense Moreover, studies in the U.S. have shown that guns are the great equalizer for females when accosted in the streets or assaulted in their homes. When a woman is armed with a gun, up to 83 percent of the time she will be successful at preventing rape, and only half as likely of being injured in the process.(3) These figures should be good news in the U.S. for the
[CTRL] FBI Agent Describes Ramming in Waco
FBI Agent Describes Ramming in Waco By SHERRI CHUNN Associated Press Writer WACO, Texas (AP)--A military tank that rammed the Branch Davidian compound on the final day of the 1993 siege was attempting to open a pathway so another tank could carry tear gas deep into the building, a federal agent testified Tuesday. FBI agent Gary Harris said he drove one of two modified tanks, called combat engineer vehicles, that were to be used to carry bottles of tear gas into the compound on the final day of the sect's 51-day standoff with government agents. Harris said his vehicle lost a track and was unable to complete its mission, so he was told to use a third, unmodified tank to make a hole or pathway that the second combat engineer vehicle could use to reach inner areas of the compound. The modified tanks had a bottle attached to a boom to spray gas. As jurors watched infrared images of Harris driving the tank into the building, he said he took great care to safely clear a passageway through the gymnasium. ``We were trying to make the best decision we could at the time. We didn't want to recklessly drive through the building,'' he said. The government called Harris in its defense against a $675 million wrongful death lawsuit filed by sect survivors and family members who claim the government shares the blame for the deaths of some 80 sect members on the final day of the siege. The plaintiffs say that by punching holes in the walls, the tank operated allowed wind in to feed the flames. And they argue the tanks could have knocked over lanterns used to illuminate the compound after the government cut off electricity. Government attorneys say suicidal Davidians--not federal agents _ caused the fires. On Monday, jurors listened to recordings from government undercover microphones inside the compound. On the final day of the siege, as the tanks were heard rumbling in the background, a male voice said: ``Let's keep that fire going.'' Unidentified Davidians also were heard asking ``start the fire?'' and ``should we light the fire?'' On the day before the siege, an unidentified male said: ``you always wanted to be a charcoal briquette ... There's nothing like a good fire to bring us to the Earth.'' The jury is acting as an advisory panel to U.S. District Judge Walter Smith, who will deliver the verdict. The recordings were made with tiny eavesdropping devices hidden among supplies that were sent to the compound by the government. The plaintiffs had argued unsuccessfully to have them excluded from the trial, saying they amount to hearsay because of their anonymous nature. But Smith said, ``I don't think it matters who was talking. These are adult Branch Davidians who were talking.'' The 51-day standoff began Feb. 28, 1993, when agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms unsuccessfully tried to search the complex and arrest sect leader David Koresh on illegal weapons charges. A gun fight erupted; four agents and six Davidians were killed.

[CTRL] Fwd: [corp-focus] Fronting for Big Coal
Fronting for Big Coal By Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman So, we're sitting in our office, and under the door comes a note advising us that there will be a press conference the next day where African-American and Hispanic groups will release a report showing how minority populations will suffer most if the United Nations Global Warming Treaty (Kyoto agreement) passes the U.S. Senate. The press conference was being pulled together by Advantage Communications Consultants, a public relations firm in Houston, and coordinated by a group called the Center for Energy and Economic Development (CEED). A simple check tells us that CEED is a coal industry front group. Of course, the coal industry has a lot to lose if the United States moves away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources, like solar. But nothing in the press materials tells us that this is a coal industry event. So we decide to go to the press conference and play along. And it's a slow news day, so when we arrive, there are many reporters attending the press briefing, including reporters from the Associated Press and Los Angeles Times. C-SPAN's camera is there to beam the press conference out live. And the moderator, Linda Brown, from the Houston public relations firm, makes her opening statement, saying Blacks and Hispanics are left out of the national policy debate on global warming. We are told that six Black and Hispanic groups, including the AFL-CIO's A. Phillip Randolph Institute, the National Black Chamber of Commerce, and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, are releasing a report. The report finds that "millions of blacks, Hispanics and other minorities could be pushed into poverty by tough new restrictions on energy use" called for by the Kyoto treaty. If ratified, the treaty would require reductions in carbon dioxin emissions from burning fossil fuels. A video is shown. And then the leaders of the Black and Hispanic groups present lay out the chief findings of the study -- that America's minority community would be hardest hit by a recession triggered by the Kyoto treaty, that the treaty would put more than one million Black and Hispanic worker jobs at risk, that higher unemployment, reduced earning power, and higher prices for energy and other consumer goods would push millions of people of color into poverty. So, now we're almost an hour into the press conference, and not one mention is made of the coal industry's involvement with the study -- a salient factoid if there ever was one in the context of this press conference. We're sitting in the press area, and next to us is sitting Stephen Miller, the president of CEED, the coal front group. So, we point out that CEED is a corporate front group. And we wanted to know -- did the coal industry pay for this report? Yes, the coal industry paid $40,000 for the report, Miller admits. And Harry Alford, of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, said that his organization has received checks from Texaco and General Motors and others, but "that money has nothing to do with what we are doing here today." "I take offense at your thinking that our groups are here because someone gave us a check to say something," Alford said. "So, I'm a little insulted. And I do think the question is racial." Lionel Hurst appeared insulted, too. By Alford. Hurst is the Ambassador to the United States from Antigua and Barbuda. Tipped off to the press conference, Hurst attended and confronted Alford. He pointed out that people of color communities around the world are already suffering unduly from the impacts of global warming. "Failure to act internationally on global warming will pose the greatest costs to the most vulnerable nations of the world due to sea level rise and the spread of infectious diseases in a warmer world," Hurst said. Also offended were the African-American activists who for years have been working on the question of polluting industries dumping on minority communities. These activists, including Dr. Joseph Lowrey of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Connie Tucker of the Southern Organizing Committee, sent a letter to all members of Congress, pointing out that the risks to minority communities from global warming "are much greater than the dangers from the Kyoto Protocol that appear in the biased predictions of the coal lobby." In the letter, the activists pointed out that asthma death rates are two times higher for Blacks than for Whites and that a recent national assessment of the regional impacts of global warming on the United States found that higher temperatures, coupled with air pollution in minority neighborhoods, would further aggravate asthma problems. And the coal industry study ignored the substantial long-term economic benefits of mitigating global warming. These arguments didn't faze Oscar Sanchez, executive director of the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, which represents 1.5 million Hispanic members of
[CTRL] WT: Judge voices impatience over e-mail
From: http://www.washtimes.com/national/default-200071123226.htm THE WASHINGTON TIMES July 11, 2000 Judge voices impatience over e-mail By Jerry Seper A federal judge yesterday ordered the White House to explain at a hearing Thursday why it has taken five months to come up with a plan to locate thousands of missing e-mail messages sought by a federal grand jury and three congressional committees. U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ordered the hearing after ruling the Executive Office of the President had not provided the court with "any explanation" why no estimate had been developed on when its e-mail restoration project would be tested, modified or completed. "Instead, after 20 weeks, the EOP has not made one concrete step towards producing any of the [missing e-mail documents] and cannot give the court any estimate on when it might do so," the judge said. "Accordingly, the court finds that an evidentiary hearing . . . is warranted." Last month, Judge Lamberth gave the White House 20 days to locate and turn over missing White House e-mail records for 33 persons, including President Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. He also demanded the e-mail for former White House Counsels Bernard Nussbaum and Charles F.C. Ruff; and current and former White House aides Bruce Lindsey, Harold Ickes, Sidney Blumenthal and George Stephanopoulos. The judge also ordered the search for the missing records be expanded to encompass several specific terms, including "background" and "summary" reports, "FBI files" and e-mail involving Linda R. Tripp, Kathleen E. Willey and several Pentagon officials. The order came in a pending $90 million lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a conservative public interest law firm, which has sued the White House in the "Filegate" scandal. In February, The Washington Times reported that thousands of e-mail messages sent to the White House between 1996 and 1998 had not been retrieved during a search of White House records in response to subpoenas from a federal grand jury and three congressional committees. Sheryl L. Hall, then-chief of White House computer operations, said the missing messages involved Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern with whom Mr. Clinton admitted having a sexual relationship; the White House's receipt of secret FBI files; information on the selection of corporate executives for overseas trade trips; and e-mail concerning campaign-finance activities in the 1996 election. Later, it was learned that e-mail messages involving Vice President Al Gore between March 1998 and April 1999 also had not been retrieved and were also missing due to what the White House described as a "technical error" that resulted in the failure of a backup tape system. House investigators have said that more than 246,000 e-mail messages are believed to be missing. The e-mail problem was first discovered in May 1998 when contract employees for Northrop Grumman Corp. traced a programming error on one of four White House servers back to August 1996. The missing e-mail messages were discovered when Northrop Grumman found that one of the four White House Lotus Notes e-mail servers handling the mail was mislabeled and a search of e-mail messages under subpoena was incomplete. During testimony before the House Government Reform Committee, five Northrop Grumman employees said they were warned to keep quiet about the problem once it had been discovered. Three of them said they were threatened with jail if they told anyone. Betty Lambuth, former manager of the Lotus Notes Group at the White House, told the committee she was told that if she or any of her team mentioned the error to anyone else, "we would lose our jobs, be arrested and put in jail." Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Lambuth are scheduled to testify on Thursday. The White House has denied that anyone was threatened.

[CTRL] WSJ: Recycling Shouldn't Be a Crime
July 11, 2000 Recycling Shouldn't Be a Crime By James Taranto, deputy features editor of the Journal's editorial page. Journalists often preach about the need for high ethical standards. But punishing someone excessively for a trivial offense is no more ethical than looking the other way at serious wrongdoing. That's a lesson the Boston Globe's editors need to learn. On July 3 the Globe published a column by Jeff Jacoby, in which he described the fate of some of the lesser-known signers of the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Jacoby later explained in an e-mail that he had based his column on three similar essays -- one by Paul Harvey, one by Rush Limbaugh and one that has been making the rounds on the Internet. He rewrote these essays, consulting reference works and Web sites to correct errors. Three days later the Globe published an "editor's note" acknowledging that "aspects" of the column had "appeared in a widely circulated e-mail message and on the Internet" and criticizing Mr. Jacoby for failing to disclose this. Then, on Friday, the Globe suspended Mr. Jacoby for four months without pay and accused him of "serious journalistic misconduct." The Globe's editors acknowledge that Mr. Jacoby didn't commit plagiarism, an offense that consists in appropriating someone else's words. So what exactly was his crime? The editor's note declared that "Jacoby should have alerted readers that the concept and structure for his column were not entirely original." Indeed, he should have. It's always best to err on the side of disclosure, and the column would have been more interesting and timely if Mr. Jacoby had made clear that he was correcting errors in an e-mail posting that many of his readers had no doubt seen. (He did spell this out to his friends when he e-mailed them a prepublication copy of the column.) But does such an error of judgment really amount to "serious journalistic misconduct"? Howard Kurtz, the Washington Post's well-respected media reporter, doesn't think so. "I considered this a minor matter and wasn't planning on writing a word about it until the Globe hit Jacoby with the four-month suspension," he told me yesterday. Do the Globe's editors really expect their writers to "alert readers" every time they avail themselves of a "concept" that is "not entirely original"? If so, they are setting up an impossible standard. Very few concepts are entirely original. (Surely I'm not the first to point this out.) To take a random example, The New York Times, whose parent company owns the Globe, is publishing a long series of ponderous articles on "How Race Is Lived in America." Was this an original idea? No, but it wasn't until the 10th installment that the Times "alerted readers" that the Akron Beacon Journal ran a similar series that won it a Pulitzer Prize in 1994 -- and the Times did so only in the context of an article about race relations in the Beacon Journal newsroom. Granted, the Times series doesn't rely directly on previously published work, as Mr. Jacoby's July 3 column did. But even rewriting the work of others is nothing out of the ordinary. My first journalistic experience was a 1986 summer internship at the Los Angeles bureau of United Press International. One of my duties was to walk down the street to the L.A. Times every night at 8:30 and pick up a few early copies of the next day's paper. I'd take the papers back to the bureau, where an editor would pick out an article or two for me to rewrite -- sometimes with attribution, sometimes without. The following year I had an internship at KNX, a CBS-owned news radio station in Los Angeles, where I wrote scripts for anchors to read on the air. Sometimes I did original reporting, but mostly I rewrote wire copy, some of which the wire services doubtless had rewritten from newspapers. The anchors never alerted listeners that the stories they were reading weren't entirely original. Journalists routinely recycle enough to make any environmentalist proud. So why is the Globe charging Mr. Jacoby with the journalistic equivalent of a felony? The paper has an embarrassing recent history of ethical lapses. In June 1998 it forced columnist Patricia Smith to resign after she acknowledged fabricating characters and quotes in four columns. Two months later the Globe asked veteran columnist Mike Barnicle to resign after he used unattributed jokes from a book by comedian George Carlin. When Mr. Barnicle refused to quit, the paper instead suspended him for a month. Two weeks later he was forced to resign when he couldn't substantiate a story from a 1995 column. (Mr. Barnicle denied fabricating the story and said he had not read Mr. Carlin's books but was repeating jokes he had heard from friends.) Because Ms. Smith is black and Mr. Barnicle is white, the Globe's hesitation to fire him prompted some readers and black leaders to charge the paper with racial bias. Even the Globe's ombudsman acknowledged a "double
[CTRL] NM: New York Doc Wants to Send Hillary Back to Arkansas
New York Doc Wants to Send Hillary Back to Arkansas NewsMax.com Tuesday July 11, 2000 A Harvard-trained orthopedic surgeon is sharpening his scalpel for a primary race against Hillary Clinton and says he wants to amputate her from the New York Senate race and send her back to Arkansas. Dr. Mark McMahon says he has enough signatures to put him on the ballot for the Sept. 12 Democratic Party primary for the U.S. Senate seat Mrs. Clinton is seeking. McMahon planned to announce Monday that he will file petitions containing more than the 15,000 signatures needed to put him on the primary ballot along with Mrs. Clinton, thereby forcing a Democratic primary. "I'm running because I care about New York," McMahon said. "I don't think Hillary cares about New York. "I believe she is using us. I'm just not buying it. Someone has to stand up to her." The 39-year-old Long Island-born McMahon, who announced his candidacy last fall, says he launched his campaign to "give Democratic New Yorkers a choice" in who their candidate will be, rejecting Mrs. Clinton's "coronation" by the state Democratic Party. He sought the nomination at the Democratic Party's state nominating convention May 15 but was unable to get enough delegate votes even to have his name entered as a candidate. Undaunted, he set out to get the required number of signatures to force a primary contest. On his web site (www.mcmahonforussenate.com) McMahon says his platform differs from Mrs. Clinton's because he is "an expert in healthcare, putting the Patients' Bill of Rights, saving Medicare and ensuring universal healthcare" at the top of his list of priorities. "I have seen firsthand elderly patients who have been forced to choose between prescription drugs and food," he said. "Peace Through Strength, Not Land for Peace" is another plank in his platform. He says it has motivated a large following of Jewish voters upset at Mrs. Clinton's Mideast policies. "I will be a maverick on behalf of Israel," McMahon said. In addition to his Harvard medical degree, McMahon holds a master's degree from the London School of Economics. A native of Jericho, N.Y., he lives in Manhattan with his wife, also a physician, and their three children. He has until Thursday to file his petition. Observers say he faces an uphill battle because state party leaders have lined up behind Mrs. Clinton and she enjoys a tremendous fund-raising advantage. = 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] NM: Hillary Unveils Expensive Economic Plan
Hillary Unveils Expensive Economic Plan NewsMax.com Tuesday July 11, 2000 In front of a rain-soaked but enthusiastic crowd of supporters in central New York, Hillary Clinton presented her economic plan for the state, calling it "an agenda of equal opportunity." According to Syracuse Online, the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate spoke for about 20 minutes Sunday at Central Park in Van Buren as a part of her five-day tour through New York to promote her "New Jobs for New York" plan. A focus of her speech was how high taxes and utility costs are crippling the region's economy. Clinton said her plan would promote tourism in the area, lower utility costs and make air and rail transportation more affordable. Strengthening the region's agricultural markets is also a priority in Clinton's plan. "We're already too dependent on foreign oil," Clinton said. "I certainly don't want to be dependent on foreign food." Regarding America's foreign oil dependency and increasing fuel prices, Clinton proposed creating a Northeastern reserve, a plan her opponent, Rep. Rick Lazio, R-Long Island, supports as well. She also proposed expanding a federal investigation of oil company profits. Other than a mention of her differences with Lazio regarding oil and gas prices, Clinton said little about the congressman, Syracuse Online reported. "Technology Bonds," which would be used by local governments to help bolster high-speed Internet connections and strengthen businesses, are also a part of Clinton's economic plan. These proposed bonds would cost taxpayers $100 million a year. Clinton also discussed issues outside her New York plan, including lowering prescription drug prices. In a news conference after her speech, she said the United States should allow into the country drugs that have been made in Canada and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, to cut down consumer costs. After the speech, many who attended were able to speak with Clinton before she left for her next appointment in Brace. = 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] WP: Charles Krauthammer: The Oslo Interlude
From: The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/2000-07/11/038r-071100-idx.html Tuesday, July 11, 2000 The Oslo Interlude By Charles Krauthammer Tuesday, July 11, 2000; Page A23 Why did President Clinton call today's hasty high-risk Camp David summit? Some are attributing this to Clinton's hunger for a legacy. Hungry he is, but I cannot believe that a president would so trifle with American standing in the Middle East for entirely selfish reasons. Why then? Because Yasser Arafat had presented Clinton and the world with a deadline: On Sept. 13, the Palestinians will unilaterally declare a Palestinian state, a rupture of the Oslo peace accords that they openly acknowledge may lead to violence, perhaps even war. This summit is being held, quite literally, under the gun. Why Sept. 13? Because Arafat has taken the view that the Oslo accords expire on that day. Under the 1993 Oslo peace accords, Israel and the PLO recognized each other, mutually pledged an end to violence and war and laid out a multiyear timetable of negotiations. Sept. 13 is the latest in a series of target dates for the conclusion of these negotiations. The Palestinians now claim that if there is no final agreement by then, they are released from their obligations under Oslo, including the prohibition against unilaterally declaring statehood. What Westerners do not quite grasp, however, is that for Arafat the end of Oslo means not just statehood but a release from the very core of Oslo, the pledge of peace. It marks a return to the pre-Oslo status of belligerency with Israel. True, Arafat will not declare war on Day One. He will not send his guerrillas back into Israel on Day One. He may not even encourage the mass demonstrations against Israeli settlements that Palestinians have spoken about for Day One, which would inevitably provoke an Israeli reaction and rekindle the violence. But he and his lieutenants have long talked of looking beyond the Oslo interlude. They speak openly of their expectation of confrontation and violence when they declare independence. Arafat himself has repeatedly told his people that Oslo is but a means to achieve Palestinian goals. If Oslo doesn't get them there, they have other means. His people know precisely what he means by other means. This notion of the transient and contingent nature of Oslo is totally contrary to the American understanding. First, because Sept. 13, like the dozens of other negotiating target dates, was never more than that: a target date. And second, because the whole premise of Oslo was that Israel would make irrevocable concessions to the Palestinians in return for a single irrevocable change by the Palestinians: a transition from conflict to peaceful negotiations. Israel has indeed made staggering concessions. It oversaw the creation of the first self-governing authority in Palestinian history; it gave international recognition to the PLO and orchestrated the granting of huge amounts of aid; it released hundreds of prisoners, including many guilty of terrorist violence; it gave Arafat control of almost half the West Bank and almost all of Gaza. Arafat's strategy from the beginning is now quite clear. He would pocket whatever Israel gave, hold out in negotiations for his maximalist demands, and, when the target date for their completion was missed, seize the opportunity to declare the whole process over and to resume the struggle with Israel. The idea of Oslo not as a new era of peace but an interlude between two periods of war will come as a shock to many who witnessed the Great Handshake on the White House Lawn seven years ago. It should not. Arafat has explicitly analogized Oslo to the 10-year treaty Mohammed made with the Quraysh tribe. It too marked an interlude. Two years later, when the tactical necessity had passed, the treaty was broken and the Quraysh were attacked and defeated. Ehud Barak is coming to Camp David prepared to make huge concessions. He is, for example, ready to redivide control of Jerusalem, after declaring it would be Israel's eternal and indivisible capital. He is, for example, ready to give up the largely uninhabited Jordan Valley, which for 35 years all parties in Israel had agreed was absolutely necessary to prevent an Arab tank invasion from the east. Arafat? He has not moved an inch in his demands: statehood, East Jerusalem, 100 percent of the West Bank and the right of return of Palestinian refugees (which would swamp Israel demographically and instantly destroy the Jewish state). That was Arafat's position in September 1993 on the White House lawn. It is his position today as he goes to Camp David. In
[CTRL] Chile: Another CIA Cover-Up to Throw on the Pile ...
.. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: "Alex Constantine" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Lloyd" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Chile: Another CIA Cover-Up to Throw on the Pile ... Date: Wednesday, July 05, 2000 9:33 PM NYT July 5, 2000 U.S. Releases Papers on U.S. Dead in Chile Coup Filed at 7:12 p.m. ET By Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States declassified 505 documents on Friday relating to the death of two Americans and the disappearance of another in Chile during the 1973-1990 military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. But the widow of Charles Horman, who was detained and killed by the military during Pinochet's bloody coup in 1973, accused the Central Intelligence Agency of covering up the truth about its role in her husband's death. Joyce Horman said the six documents released by the CIA were heavily redacted with sections blacked out and the agency has not declassified 10 other documents. ``Either they are withholding information or they didn't do anything to investigate the detention of a U.S. citizen by the Chilean military,'' Horman said at a news conference. ``Our road to the truth has been excruciatingly long,'' she said of her 27-year quest to establish whether U.S. officials knew about her husband's execution by the Chilean military. Horman contends her husband, a 31-year-old journalist, was killed with CIA complicity because he knew too much about U.S. involvement in the overthrow of Marxist President Salvador Allende, a view taken by the 1982 movie ``Missing'' starring Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek. A U.S. official familiar with the papers said the CIA was withholding a handful of documents relating to Horman to protect its sources and methods, but said that they would not shed further light on the case. A CIA spokeswoman said the agency ``had no prior knowledge of and played no role in the death of Mr. Horman.'' Horman was detained in Santiago on Sept. 18, 1973, a week after the coup, and taken to the Santiago soccer stadium where the military was holding suspected leftists. His body turned up in the morgue with seven bullet wounds. The body of another American, Frank Teruggi, 24, was found with torture marks, a slit throat and 17 bullet wounds. The bulk of the documents (471) were released by the State Department. They include cables about an informant who told the U.S. embassy in 1987 that the Chilean military only found out Horman was an American after he was dead, and no U.S. official played any role in his death. The informant, whose name was blotted out, identified Pedro Espinoza, former deputy head of Pinochet's secret police, as one of the Chilean officers who ordered Horman's shooting. Espinoza is serving a prison sentence in Chile for masterminding the car-bomb assassination of prominent Chilean exile Orlando Letelier in Washington in 1976. The U.S. Department of Justice reopened an investigation into the Letelier killing to see if Pinochet was responsible, following the former dictator's arrest in London in 1998 on an extradition request from a Spanish judge. Pinochet, 84, was released earlier this year by British authorities because of ill health, but is embroiled in a legal battle to avoid trial in Chile for human rights violations. The Clinton administration last year ordered the release of documents relating to human rights abuses and political violence during the Pinochet years. So far 7,300 have been declassified. A last group of 11,000 papers will be released on Sept. 15. ``The CIA has not released a single document on its role in promoting the coup and later work to consolidate the Pinochet regime,'' said Peter Kornbluh, author of a forthcoming book called ``The Pinochet File.'' Kornbluh said the only revealing document released on Friday was a CIA memorandum on Boris Weisfeiler, a Russian-born mathematics professor at Pennsylvania State University. Weisfeiler, a naturalized U.S. citizen and an experienced outdoorsman, disappeared while hiking in Southern Chile in 1985. His body was never found. The police said he drowned in a river. The CIA memo cites a Chilean informant who was convinced that Weisfeiler was detained by an army patrol, interrogated, beaten to death and then thrown in the river.

[CTRL] WT: Polls surge for Bush
From: http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/commentary-20007101768.htm Polls surge for Bush Donald Lambro Perhaps the biggest fear in George W. Bush's campaign right now is that it will become overconfident and lose its fighting edge. He is ahead of Al Gore in so many states, so early in the election, that top aides worry about how they can keep the energy level up at the grass roots. By my count, the Texas governor is currently ahead of the vice president in 29 states with a total of 262 Electoral College votes, only eight short of the 270 needed to win the presidency. The Bush campaign's own internal count has Mr. Bush ahead in enough states to win 273 electoral votes. Their electoral map in Austin has Mr. Gore ahead in states that would give Mr. Gore 138 votes, with 127 electoral votes up for grabs. With numbers like these, Mr. Bush has the luxury of being able to focus much more of his time and resources on the battleground states in the Midwest and on California, where he has begun to cut deeply into Mr. Gore's once-double-digit lead. In a contest that may not be as close in the Electoral College as most media pundits have forecast, Mr. Gore is ahead in only 12 states, including the biggest electoral powerhouse states of California and New York. All told, however, they would give him 167 electoral votes. My latest state-by-state review, based on independent state polls, finds that nine states remain tossups, including three major states in the industrial Midwest. Mr. Bush leads in all of the Western plains and mountain states and most of the Southern and Border states, while Mr. Gore leads in most of the Northeast and in California on the West Coast. As it has in so many previous presidential elections, the outcome of the election will likely be decided in the Midwest, where the two candidates remain in a dead heat in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Elsewhere in the region, however, Mr. Bush has strong leads in Indiana, Ohio and Missouri, and a slight edge in Iowa. In the West, Mr. Bush leads in Alaska, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and his home state of Texas. While Mr. Gore has the edge in most polls in California, the contest has tightened there and recent polls find Mr. Bush has pulled even with his Democratic opponent. A major factor in California is Mr. Bush's aggressive, pro-immigrant pitch for the Latino and Hispanic vote. Mr. Gore still has a majority of this critical voting bloc, but polls show Mr. Bush getting better than one-third of their vote the strongest Republican showing since Ronald Reagan in 1984. But in the most significant sign of Mr. Gore's weakness, Mr. Bush continues to hold on to slight leads in Washington and Oregon, two states that the Democrats have carried easily in the last three presidential elections. In addition to his commanding strength in the West, Mr. Bush appears poised to reclaim the South for the Republicans who once had a tight lock on the region, only to see it fall to Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996. Mr. Gore's liberal positions on gun control, abortion and other wedge issues have placed him outside of the conservative Southern mainstream. Right now, Mr. Bush is running well ahead of Mr. Gore in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, and even in heavily Democratic West Virginia. Mr. Gore has paper-thin leads in only two Southern states: Arkansas and his home state of Tennessee, as well as an 8 point lead in Maryland. Mr. Gore's strongest region is the more liberal Northeast, where he has double-digit leads in New York and New Jersey and is ahead in most of the New England states, including Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont. But Mr. Bush is making inroads even here, running 10 points ahead of Mr. Gore in New Hampshire; 3 points ahead in Pennsylvania, with its big cache of 23 electoral votes; and he has the edge in Delaware. With four months to go in this campaign cycle, this is Mr. Bush's election to lose. The country is still doing well economically and for the first time in many years has the luxury of being able to indulge non-bread-and-butter issues and concerns like honesty, ethics, morality and decency at the highest levels of government. For nearly eight years we have endured scandal, corruption, endless criminal investigations, and the stain and humiliation of impeachment that has not been sponged away. This has given birth to an overpowering desire for a national leader who will restore a level of dignity and public respect to the office of the presidency. And this, more than anything else, is what is driving these surprisingly early electoral numbers for George W. Bush. Donald Lambro, chief political correspondent of The Washington Times,

[CTRL] NYP: BRUNO: HILL DUG UP NEW DIRT ON GIULIANI
Just another bureaucratic snafu. New York Post-July 11, 2000 BRUNO: HILL DUG UP NEW DIRT ON GIULIANI By FREDRIC U. DICKER and DAVID SEIFMAN Hillary Clinton's campaign is behind the negative bombshells in two new books about Mayor Giuliani, State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno suggested yesterday. "It's kind of interesting in terms of timing," Bruno told Albany radio station WROW. "A bright and very informed person shared a theory with me ... that a lot of this was negative material that had been prepared by the Hillary people, and they were prepared to use this negative campaigning if Giuliani was indeed the nominee. "It's now being leaked so that they slow down the mayor and maybe some of it rolls over to the Republican structure generally. Why does it come out now, and why doesn't it come out a year ago, two years ago?" The two books, "Rudy Giuliani: Emperor of the City" by New York 1 reporter Andrew Kirtzman and "Rudy! An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani" by Village Voice reporter Wayne Barrett, hit stores this week. Both contain stunning new information, from the 1934 criminal record of Giuliani's father to an allegation that former mayoral press secretary Cristyne Lategano-Nicholas wanted to leak rumors about Ed Koch's sex life in 1996. Giuliani declined to blame Mrs. Clinton or the White House, saying he had "no idea" who provided material to the authors. Howard Wolfson, the Clinton campaign spokesman, said Bruno didn't know what he was talking about. "Call me when he offers some proof," Wolfson said. "He's not going to offer any proof, because it's not true ... Why would we have this information?" Kirtzman chuckled when The Post told him of Bruno's charges. "The vast majority of my sources not only don't come from the Hillary Clinton camp, they come from the Giuliani camp," Kirtzman said. Barrett ridiculed Bruno by saying, "It wasn't only Don Imus who fell off a horse. I never talked to them [the Clinton people] about Rudy Giuliani." Barrett readily admits that four individuals and foundations, some with close Democratic Party ties, such as Bill Moyers, provided funding for his researchers. "They understood who I am, my kind of journalism ... " he said. Giuliani disclosed yesterday that he had called Koch to deny a report in Kirtzman's book that Lategano-Nicholas tried to smear the ex-mayor four years ago by leaking rumors to the press that he's homosexual. "There is not a single bit of truth to it," Giuliani said. "It is a total, absolute falsity." Koch told The Post he accepted Giuliani's words at face value, as well as those of Lategano-Nicholas, who also called him over the weekend. Meanwhile, without specifically addressing his father's criminal past, Giuliani asserted that any large family has a few skeletons in its closet. "It's very hard to find a very large family in America that doesn't have somebody involved in criminality ...

[CTRL] WND: Radek's deputy doubts FBI story
July 11, 2000 Radek's deputy doubts FBI story Says accounts of 'pressure' meeting 'don't jibe,' challenges Freeh to testify By Paul Sperry © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON -- It was no routine meeting. In late 1996, four top prosecutors convened at FBI headquarters to figure out how to investigate perhaps the biggest presidential scandal in American history. The meeting is now more controversial than ever, thanks to a previously unreleased FBI memo and recent sworn testimony suggesting Justice Department officials felt they were under "pressure" to bury the case. Now, in an exclusive interview with WorldNetDaily, one of the Justice officials at the meeting contends the FBI's account of what was discussed 'doesn't jibe' with what he remembers. He questions the FBI officials' motives, calling their testimony "gratuitous" and "sinister." And he challenges the FBI director to tell his story under oath. First, rewind to the last campaign. Just weeks after the November 1996 election, Congress, along with Common Cause and other government watchdog groups clamored for a criminal probe of illegal foreign fund-raising by the Clinton-Gore camp. They demanded an independent counsel. The Justice Department had to do something in short order. So the FBI called the high-level meeting. A key participant was Lee Radek, chief of Justice's public integrity section, the central authority on election crimes as well as on the independent counsel statute. He sat in a winged-back chair across from his deputy, Joe Gangloff, who sat on a sofa with deputy FBI director William Esposito. Assistant FBI director Neil Gallagher took a seat nearby. The meeting, held in Esposito's office, lasted about 30 minutes. The four debated how to handle the probe of what the FBI referred to at the time as the "Democratic national campaign matter." At the end of the meeting, according to Esposito, Radek got up from his chair and remarked that "there's a lot of pressure on him, and that the attorney general's job could hang in the balance, based on the" recommendation he would make to her regarding an independent counsel. Gallagher heard Radek say the same thing. "I'm sure you'll do the right thing, Lee," Esposito said. About a half hour after the meeting, Esposito reported what he heard to FBI Director Louis Freeh, who in turn met with Reno on Dec. 6, 1996, to urge her to turn the case over to "junkyard dog" prosecutors outside of main Justice. "Those comments (by Radek) would be enough for me to take him and the criminal division off the case completely," Freeh told Reno. (Reno swears she doesn't remember the meeting.) Over the next three-and-a-half years, Radek denied requests for an outside investigation so many times that line prosecutors nicknamed him "Dr. No." Radek swears he never made the remark, though he can't remember the meeting -- even though President Clinton was a potential target, the FBI's national-security division chief (Gallagher) was called in, and it was the only meeting the four officials had in Esposito's office. His deputy, Gangloff, recalls the meeting, but doesn't remember his boss making the remark. Adding to tensions between the FBI and main Justice, Gangloff in a recent interview impugned the testimony of the FBI officials and cast suspicion on their motives. He said he thought it was "amazing" that Esposito could remember that Gangloff could overhear Radek's remark. "I was surprised when he put me so clearly within hearing range," Gangloff said. "I thought that was a little bit gratuitous." "I was surprised by the level of detail of his recollection," he added. He also doubts Esposito's story that he was so alarmed by Radek's remark that he rushed to brief Freeh. "The notion that he (Esposito) went running down the hall to Freeh is wrong," Gangloff said. "I think they already had set up that he was going to give him a report." How does he explain Esposito reacting to Radek's comment by reminding him to "do the right thing"? He says prosecutors normally wrap up such meetings with that line, the prosecutor's equivalent of "break a leg." "That particular phrase is one that we use all the time," Gangloff said. "When we send a lawyer out in the field, we always say, 'Look, I've got one piece of advice for you: Do the right thing.'" Then he questioned the other FBI official's statements. "Gallagher's testimony was very perplexing," Gangloff said, adding that he seemed to "change positions." In his House testimony, he said he didn't know what Radek meant by the "pressure" comment, Gangloff pointed out. But in the Senate, Gallagher read a "sinister" meaning into it. And yet "he didn't report" it to Freeh, he added. What's more, Gangloff speculated that Freeh made more of Esposito's report to him than Esposito intended. "My own kind of gut feeling on this is that Esposito probably said something that was more along the lines of, 'Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah, and as we were leaving, Lee said
[CTRL] Breaking: Judge Decides to Hear Clinton Disbarment Case
July 11, 2000 - 11:55 AM Judge Decides to Hear Clinton Disbarment Case By David A. Lieb Associated Press Writer LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - After a week of deliberating, a recently appointed judge has decided to preside over the disbarment case against President Clinton, a court clerk said Tuesday. The decision comes after four other judges all stepped aside from the case, citing the appearance of conflicts of interest because of links to former Gov. Clinton. Pulaski County Circuit Judge Leon Johnson was assigned the case July 5 and has been considering whether to keep it. Johnson, appointed as a judge last month to fill a vacancy, called the clerk's office Tuesday morning and said he would accept the case, said Sherry Bruno, a supervisor in the office. Though appointed by Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee, Johnson voted in May in the Democratic primary election, a state voter registration clerk said Thursday. Johnson also voted in the Democratic primary runoff in 1998. Clinton's case was assigned to Johnson after Judge Chris Piazza stepped aside. Piazza said Clinton, as governor, had once named him to a panel that hammered out state ethics laws. Three other judges had refused the case earlier. The lawsuit filed June 30 by the Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct says Clinton is unfit to be a lawyer because of his deceptive testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case about his relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The committee based its lawsuit on complaints filed by U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright, who presided over the Jones case, and by the Atlanta-based Southeastern Legal Foundation. Wright had cited Clinton for contempt and fined him $90,000. The president has said the Arkansas committee was acting too harshly and his lawyer, David Kendall, has said he would fight "vigorously." Johnson's appointment lasts only to the end of the year, when a regularly elected judge will replace him. Just one candidate is running, a Democrat. If the Clinton case lasts that long, the new judge would replace him in the case. = 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.

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Mechanics of Seizure Cash Flows in the Central California Judicial District
I have commented before on the conflict of interest issue in these cases, which is significant. The idea of property being taken is abhorrent to me, but if one wanted to make a case for it they could, BUT the fact that what is siezed goes to the people who sieze it opens up too many cans of worms and introduces the possibility of tainted evidence and fraudulent warrants and the use of this for other than legitimate ends. The drug war has many casualties, mainly innocents lost at the hands of criminals, AND law enforcement, especially since the kingpins are never touched, and the government may be one of the biggest dealers/backers in the whole enterprise. This whole sorry business is a mess in my view. On Tue, 11 July 2000, Kris Millegan wrote: "Welcome to the desert of the real." Morpheus, in The Matrix "My God it's full of stars!"

[CTRL] The Rainforest Myths? (fwd)
[Impact Voters of America?? They claim to be the nation's largest network of grassroots organizations The below obviously has an agenda...anyone know about this group? --MS] -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 12:55:05 -0500 From: Jack Koenig [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Talking Points: The Rainforest Myths Welcome to the inaugural edition of "Talking Points", a FREE mini ezine dedicate to factual information on subjects of interest.

This edition of "Talking Points" features "The Rain Forest Myth." The next copy will discuss FACTS surrounding the recent run-up in gasoline prices and issue three will feature "Social Security: The Worlds Worst Investment." The Rainforest Myth Even before we enter school, we are made aware of earth's fragile environment. And although this fragility may exist, its existence is often overblown by those making a livelihood through the manufacture, promotion, and exploitation of alleged environmental catastrophes. Two such areas stand out among all others: Global Warming and the Rainforests. Hysterians and other special interests recently received a "spanking" on the American Investigator cable show called "Amazon Rainforest: Clear-cutting the Myths." This syndicated television program disclosed how the amazon Rainforest is actually one of the most intact and least endangered forests on the planet. Contrary to the claim made by Al Gore in his "Earth In The Balance," the world's tropical rainforests will not disappear halfway through this century. In reality, the Amazon Rainforest is not only holding its own, but is in a constant state of regeneration. As the Environmental Defense Fund concedes in their fine print, the amazon is actually 87.5%-94% intact. Patrick Moore, a Greenpeace co-founder (recently resigned), claims that the threats to the Rainforests are greatly exaggerated. He goes on to state "All these save-the-forests arguments are based on bad science." Moore also contends that if one were to accept the deforestation claims of the hysterians, "You would have cleared 50 times the size of the Amazon already if accurate." And contrary to claims the Amazon is "The lungs of the Earth," the Rainforests have only been around for an estimated 12,000-16,000 years. This by itself makes it difficult to argue the destiny of the earth is linked to it's health. Additionally, many eco-scientists believe the Amazon may actually be a net user of oxygen. Philip Scott from the University of London points out "In fact, because the trees fall down and decay, rainforests actually take in more oxygen than they give out." And no, there are not 100 extinctions of species per day as claimed by Al Gore, and there are not 50,000/year as claimed by Harvard's Edward Wilson. In fact, when asked to name a specie which has become extinct, Wilson couldn't name a single one!

[CTRL] WSJ: FBI's System to Covertly Search E-Mail
July 11, 2000 Tech Center FBI's System to Covertly Search E-Mail Raises Legal Issues, Privacy Concerns By NEIL KING JR. and TED BRIDIS Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is using a superfast system called Carnivore to covertly search e-mails for messages from criminal suspects. Essentially a personal computer stuffed with specialized software, Carnivore represents a new twist in the federal government's fight to sustain its snooping powers in the Internet age. But in employing the system, which can scan millions of e-mails a second, the FBI has upset privacy advocates and some in the computer industry. Experts say the system opens a thicket of unresolved legal issues and privacy concerns. The FBI developed the Internet wiretapping system at a special agency lab at Quantico, Va., and dubbed it Carnivore for its ability to get to "the meat" of what would otherwise be an enormous quantity of data. FBI technicians unveiled the system to a roomful of astonished industry specialists here two weeks ago in order to steer efforts to develop standardized ways of complying with federal wiretaps. Federal investigators say they have used Carnivore in fewer than 100 criminal cases since its launch early last year. Word of the Carnivore system has disturbed many in the Internet industry because, when deployed, it must be hooked directly into Internet service providers' computer networks. That would give the government, at least theoretically, the ability to eavesdrop on all customers' digital communications, from e-mail to online banking and Web surfing. The system also troubles some Internet service providers, who are loath to see outside software plugged into their systems. In many cases, the FBI keeps the secret Carnivore computer system in a locked cage on the provider's premises, with agents making daily visits to retrieve the data captured from the provider's network. But legal challenges to the use of Carnivore are few, and judges' rulings remain sealed because of the secretive nature of the investigations. Internet wiretaps are conducted only under state or federal judicial order, and occur relatively infrequently. The huge majority of wiretaps continue to be the traditional telephone variety, though U.S. officials say the use of Internet eavesdropping is growing as everyone from drug dealers to potential terrorists begins to conduct business over the Web. The FBI defends Carnivore as more precise than Internet wiretap methods used in the past. The bureau says the system allows investigators to tailor an intercept operation so they can pluck only the digital traffic of one person from among the stream of millions of other messages. An earlier version, aptly code-named Omnivore, could suck in as much as to six gigabytes of data every hour, but in a less discriminating fashion. Still, critics contend that Carnivore is open to abuse. Mark Rasch, a former federal computer-crimes prosecutor, said the nature of the surveillance by Carnivore raises important privacy questions, since it analyzes part of every snippet of data traffic that flows past, if only to determine whether to record it for police. "It's the electronic equivalent of listening to everybody's phone calls to see if it's the phone call you should be monitoring," Mr. Rasch said. "You develop a tremendous amount of information." Others say the technology dramatizes how far the nation's laws are lagging behind the technological revolution. "This is a clever way to use old telephone-era statutes to meet new challenges, but clearly there is too much latitude in the current law," said Stewart Baker, a lawyer specializing in telecommunications and Internet regulatory matters. Robert Corn-Revere, of the Hogan Hartson law firm here, represented an unidentified Internet service provider in one of the few legal fights against Carnivore. He said his client worried that the FBI would have access to all the e-mail traffic on its system, raising dire privacy and security concerns. A federal magistrate ruled against the company early this year, leaving it no option but to allow the FBI access to its system. "This is an area in desperate need of clarification from Congress," said Mr. Corn-Revere. "Once the software is applied to the ISP, there's no check on the system," said Rep. Bob Barr (R., Ga.), who sits on a House judiciary subcommittee for constitutional affairs. "If there's one word I would use to describe this, it would be 'frightening."' Marcus Thomas, chief of the FBI's Cyber Technology Section at Quantico, said Carnivore represents the bureau's effort to keep abreast of rapid changes in Internet communications while still meeting the rigid demands of federal wiretapping statutes. "This is just a very specialized sniffer," he said. He also noted that criminal and civil penalties prohibit the bureau from placing unauthorized wiretaps, and any information gleaned in those types
[CTRL] NTSB Kennedy Crash Report Released/CD ROM (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 16:04:28 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NTSB Kennedy Crash Report Released / CD ROM NTSB RELEASES FINAL KENNEDY CRASH REPORT The NTSB released yesterday the final accident report on the John Kennedy Jr. crash, citing spatial disorientation as the cause that took the lives of three people near Martha's Vineyard on July 16 last year. The report stated that Kennedy failed to maintain control of the airplane during a descent over water at night. Haze and darkness were listed as factors in the crash of the Piper Saratoga that, besides Kennedy, killed his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette. There was no evidence of mechanical problems. The accident report is available on the NTSB's Web site: http://www.ntsb.gov/Aviation/NYC/99A178.htm I received my hard copy of the NTSB report late last week (along with an accompanying CD ROM). There is quite a bit of info on the CD ROM that is (as far as I know) not on the website above. Certainly there is much info on the CD ROM that is not in the hard copy of the report (radar imagery, charts of various kinds, photos of the plane before and after the crash, etc.). I have not had time to do more than skim the web site, the printed report, and the CD ROM, but nothing I saw indicated any concluson other than that I opined what in the 8 (?) segments I did on the crash for FOX-TV (Dallas) last summer, starting the morning after the crash: pilot became disoriented, at least in part due to the prevailing weather conditions, and spun in. There is additional information in the report and on the accompanying CD ROM, not available shortly afer the 7/16/00 crash, that buttresses my opinion the morning after the crash. NTSB accident report buffs and those fascinated with the Kennedys in general might find it worthwhile reading through all the detail (especially the data on the DC ROM), but virtually no one else will. There were a coupla items I "tweaked" on during my skimming, but nothing that rose to a higher threshhold. For conspiracty buffs: All my information is obviously NOT firsthand so I don't have much chance of KNOWING what happened, but the content of the official investigation of the crash is entirely "consistent with" the announced official cause of the mishap (in contrast. IMHO, much of the content of the official record re the Foster death is not cnsistent with the officail cause of that death; also, to a significantly lesser extent, neither is a significant part of the content of the official record re the Brown crash). = 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] WP: Trade Mission Data Withheld, Official Says
Trade Mission Data Withheld, Official Says Washington Post By George Lardner Jr. Tuesday , July 11, 2000 ; A09 A veteran Commerce Department official said in an affidavit yesterday that records concerning contributions to the Democratic Party by participants in trade missions and other documents were wrongfully withheld despite Freedom of Information Act requests and litigation demanding their production. The official, Sonya Stewart, said lawyers in the Office of General Counsel (OGC) at Commerce "improperly assumed and exercised the final authority" to withhold or release documents, at times in consultation with the White House. Stewart, whose 15-page affidavit was filed as part of a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch, said she was in charge of all FOIA matters in the department until recently as director of executive budgeting and assistance management in the Office of the Secretary of Commerce. Stewart, now with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the FOIA staff's efforts to comply with the law were "thwarted and obstructed" by Commerce Department officials including the former head of the Office of Business Liaison. Stewart said the general counsel's office claimed to have "lost" some documents that were later found in the OGC safe. Stewart also said she was told by a career official from the Office of Business Liaison, George Grafeld, that he had seen diskettes labeled "contributions/trade missions" that were never turned over to Judicial Watch and that he was aware of "fundraising letters" sent to trade mission participants by the then-director of the office. U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth concluded in a 1998 ruling that Commerce officials systematically concealed and destroyed documents that might have shed light on whether seats on overseas trade missions were used as rewards for Democratic Party contributions. Stewart said she made efforts to ensure that a "second search" for records after the judge's ruling was conducted properly but was thwarted again. = 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.

Gunderson Special Agent in Charge, FBI, Los Angeles (Ret.) 2118 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 422, Santa Monica, CA 90403-5784 Mail: P.O. Box 18000-259, Las Vegas, NV 89114 (301) 364-2280 or (702) 791-5195; Fax: (702) 791-2906 July 3, 2000 Dear Interested Party, Good News!!! Partial progress! On July 3, 2000, I, Ted Gunderson, heard from Pam Purdie, girlfriend of Russell (Rusty) Nelson that Rusty Nelson had called her this morning (July 3, 2000) and told her that he has been moved from his cell with a five-foot bed to a cell with an eight-foot bed; that his meals are much better, they are no longer feeding him green meat; that they are providing him with his proper medications on schedule, which they had not done before; and that the attitudes of the guards have changed considerably and they are treating him more decently. Pam Purdie indicated that they are still not allowing Russell Nelson writing materials and some black guards are knocking on the door and sarcastically stating; "This is Larry King, I'm coming for you" (Recall Larry King, founder of the Franklin Credit Union, now incarcerated, is a black man). On July 2, 2000, Noreen Gosch, mother of kidnapped child Johnny Gosch, a victim in the Franklin case, drove from Des Moines, Iowa, to Omaha, Nebraska, and hand-carried and delivered to the Sheriff's office where Rusty Nelson is being held; 1.) My 53 page report of June 28, 2000, about the current danger to Russell Nelson, and 2.) a copy of my formal complaint to the White House requesting a civil rights investigation of the maltreatment of Rusty Nelson in Omaha where he is being held, particularly about not furnishing his proper medication on schedule for his epilepsy. Pam Purdie reports that things changed for the better immediately upon receipt of these reports. Rusty Nelson told Pam Purdie on the phone this morning that he could not understand the drastic change for the better in his treatment until she told him that Noreen Gosch had hand-delivered these reports to the Sheriff's office. This information and these encouraging events illustrate that we can effect positive change when we join forces and shed light on the truth. Abraham Lincoln said, "The only way to lose is to quit". We have no intentions of quiting. We stand together to stop the miscarriage of justice against victims of abuse and corruption. Please refer to the list of people at the end of the 53-page report to whom we need to keep sending letters. The fight for Rusty Nelson, Kelly Ford, and others has only begun.

[CTRL] Gun Control in Oz (fwd)
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 16:12:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Sunlite [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Gun Control in Oz This was sent to me by a friend. "Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent. Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent. Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent!) In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. (Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned guns in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!) While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. You won't see this data on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the state Assembly disseminating this information. The Australian experience proves it. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Re: [CTRL] [MC] Echelon
More on Echelon : http://www.heise.de/tp/english/inhalt/te/6891/1.html European Parliament votes against inquiry committee on Echelon Jelle van Buuren 05.07.2000 Temporary committee called a 'tootthless talkingshop' The European Parliament rejected Wednesday at their plenary meeting to set up an inquiry committee on Echelon, the Anglo-American spying network. The Green Group had asked for a plenary vote, after the president's of the political parties couldn't decide on the issue. The so called Conference of Presidents first rejected an inquiry committee, and suggested that a temporary committee might be a better option. They asked for the advice of the legal service of the parliament, which stated three weeks ago that a temporary committee cannot lead an inquiry. The Greens accused the big political parties of obstructing the inquiry and demanded a vote of the plenary meeting of parliament. Today, parliament rejected the demand for an inquiry committee. Instead, they voted for the installation of a temporary committee. The Greens are very disappointed with the decision, as the legal service stated clearly a temporary committee has no powers to lead a serous inquiry. It will not have the power to call on people to testify and has no right of access to confidential documents. 'It is in danger of being no more than a mere talkingshop,' the Greens stated. The Greens believe the big political parties have bowed for the individual EU governments wishes not to take a strong position on the Echelon issue. 'The vote proved that most of the conservative, socialists and liberals member of parliament are unwilling to go against the wishes of certain EU governments,' according to the Greens. The only positive element in the vote is, according to the Greens, that more members were in favour of an inquiry committee (210) than the number of members who the originally gave the green light for the procedure to ask for an investigation (180). The decision of the European Parliament comes at a time when France has launched an investigation into the Echelon-operation. A public prosecutor has ordered the French DST counter-espionage service to build up evidence accussing Washington and London of an attack on the fundamental interests of the nation. In Holland, the parliament gave more details about the hearing which the parliament is organising in september on Echeon. They are going to invite specialists from Holland and other countries. Amongst others, Belgian specialist are invited who recently stated for the Belgian Committee that controls the intelligence service that Echelon existst. After the hearing, parliament will question the Dutch minister of Justice, Benk Korthals. Till now, Dutch government is unwilling to answer seriously on parlimantary questions on the subject. __ earthradioTV.com - Alternative News Portal for ecology, politics consciousness. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] earthradioTV.com MIRROR SITES: USA http://www.earthradioTV.com/index2.html CZECH http://mujweb.cz/www/ecologynews/ UK http://members.tripod.co.uk/ecologynews/ Canada http://www.ecologynews.com/index2.html A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Re Lurid Sex Tales of the New World Order
AMERICAN PATRIOT FRIENDS NETWORK - Re: Lurid Sex Tales of the New World Order - Part IIhttp://www.insidetheweb.com/messageboard/mbs.cgi?acct=mb1075995MyNum=9632 98577P=YesTL=963298335 Re: Lurid Sex Tales of the New World Order - Part II Tuesday, 11-Jul-2000 02:56:17 Of course, Icke is not alone in being made a fool over these stories. Most notable is the previously mentioned Ted Gunderson, a former FBI Special Agent in Charge for the Los Angeles area. Gunderson, besides his important contributions in the McMartin Preschool case, has been a leading supporter of alleged "Fatal Vision" killer Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, providing key evidence that he was a victim of an Army heroin-smuggling operation. That said, he is not a man incapable of errors. Besides his endorsement of Wiegand (which he originally termed as "the worst case of child sexual abuse and judicial corruption I've seen in 47 years of investigative work"), a libel lawsuit was filed against him by talk-show host Art Bell, over an incident on Gunderson's own radio show. A guest of Gunderson's claimed that Bell was a pedophile, a false charge likely derived from misreading a police report filed when Bell's son, also named Art Bell, was molested by a teacher. While he didn't personally libel Bell, Gunderson is at least guilty of recklessness by allowing someone to malign Bell so freely on his show. One would think that after being involved in two noted embarrassments (one leading to a potentially destructive lawsuit), Gunderson would have learned his lesson about shooting from the hip on such a touchy subject as child molestation. Unfortunately for Gunderson, his wisdom is beneath his investigative skills, and he remains one of the strongest endorsers of Brice Taylor's tale, going so far as to give an introductory speech for her during a 1999 lecture in Pasadena. As he states on the books back cover, "She is credible, knowledgeable and truthful. I admire and respect her work and her courage in an effort to Wake Up America, and I'm with her 110% of the way!" It's doubtful that Jeffrey MacDonald or the children of McMartin are thrilled by such endorsements. Another victim of smear by association in the Brice Taylor affair is Walter Bowart, previously the author of Operation Mind Control. In the updated version of his book, he includes an account of "Lois," who is none other than Taylor herself. In the forward to Taylor's book, he supposedly wrote, "I can tell you that Sue Ford believes the story she has written with all her being, and her account as described herein has remained consistent." When asked about his statements in an email, he replied it was based on reading a early version of her manuscript, which may have been quite different from what is in final book form. Further, he couldn't confirm writing some of his alleged endorsement statements of her, which implies they were inserted without his knowledge or consent. (The book is published by the "Brice Taylor Trust," composed mainly of Fundamentalist Christians who surround her as an entourage.) He ended his written response with the following question, indicating an oblivious over her current psychological state: "Has (Taylor) gone off the deep end?" The irony is it's quite possible both O'Brien and Taylor have been victims of CIA mind control after all. Whatever faults the CIA has, a lack in good taste in women is not of them, and O'Brien and Taylor certainly were attractive enough to qualify as quality sex slaves. But that possibility is tainted by their blathering of dubious claims, and the uncritical repetion of her work by people who should know enough to expect a setup. Robert Sterling's note for readers: (Earlier this year, I was contacted by Adam Parfrey to write a piece for Apocalypse Culture II on the NWO sex slave genre of literature, focusing on the works by Cathy O'Brien and Brice Taylor. I delivered the work, which will be included in the upcoming magnum opus of underground literature under the title of "Uncle Ronnie's Sex Slaves." I must commend Mr. Parfrey for his editing job: I gave him more information than was needed, and, though it was all very worthwhile, sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. In retrospect, the material that was deleted was rather obtuse, and detracted from the more humorous elements of the work. Still, though the information wasn't beneficial to the piece itself, it is worthwhile to be printed elsewhere. Besides, like most writers, I'm lazier than shit: why write something new when I can just recycle the usual garbage? Among the information deleted from the original ramble sent to Mr. Parfrey: The theory that the countless TV commercials peddling the music of Boxcar Willie and Slim Whitman were experiments to see how people respond to a repetitive stimulus, even, if in the case of both, the stimulus was annoying; The idea that music producer Mutt Lange is an Illuminati mind control agent who, after corrupting our youth with the Satanic

[CTRL] NM: Gore Tenant Says Pet Killings Were Last Straw
[Note the second to the last paragraph that I marked with asterisks. --MS] With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff Tuesday July 11, 2000; 6:31 PM EDT Gore Tenant Says Pet Killings Were Last Straw Vice President Al Gore may have learned more from Bill Clinton than he'd like to admit, if what Tracy Mayberry describes as "the last straw" in her tenants rights battle with the Veep is true. Mayberry gave up the ghost this past weekend and moved from the ramshackle abode that Gore rented to her and her family on his Carthage, Tenn. spread, after repeated attempts to get Veep to fix up the place up fell through. Now, with Mayberry and her family settled into their new place in Lima, Ohio, the Toledo Blade reports: "The last straw, she said, came when they recently found their dog sick by the roadside after munching on a dead turkey laced with poison, and their cat stretched out in a field behind their house with its throat slit. "The animals died, Mayberry said, not long after their plight was broadcast on national TV." * In 1998, Clinton sex assault victim Kathleen Willey told * investigators that her cat disappeared and her tires were * slashed after she was subpoenaed in the Paula Jones case. * Two days before Willey appeared before Ken Starr's Monicagate * grand jury, a stranger approached her and mentioned the * incidents, adding, "Don't you get the message?" Willey did, but testified anyway.

[CTRL] U.N. Troops Spreading AIDS
U.N.: AIDS being spread by its peacekeepers By Betsy Pisik THE WASHINGTON TIMES NEW YORK â The U.N. Security Council, under pressure from the United States, said Thursday that U.N. peacekeepers are spreading the AIDS virus. "Six months ago, countries didn't want to have a discussion on AIDS," said U.S. Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke. "Today, we have been told by every member of the Security Council that they are ready to go with this." Mr. Holbrooke cited cases in which Finnish soldiers had brought the virus home after peacekeeping tours. The United Nations currently has some 38,000 peacekeepers engaged in 14 missions around the world, not including locally hired staff. They are often sent to places where prostitution is openly practiced. The United Nations currently issues one condom per day to peacekeepers and urges them not to patronize brothels or engage in sexual activity that is not locally permitted. A U.S.-sponsored resolution calls on the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations, or DPKO, to train all peacekeepers on how to block the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The resolution also urges troop-contributing nations to offer comprehensive education, counseling and HIV testing for all members of the armed services. Some were unimpressed by the latest U.N. move. "They're just printing up a bunch of pamphlets," said one Western envoy of the latest attempt to halt the proliferation of AIDS by peacekeepers. There are no hard statistics about the rates of infection or transmission, but many of the U.N. troops come from nations where the disease is already rampant and introduce it in local populations. Separately, Mr. Holbrooke announced a $10 million item in the this year's Defense Department budget to underwrite AIDS-related programs for foreign soldiers and the United Nations. The money must still be approved by Congress. "This resolution is not solely addressed to Africa and it is not addressed solely to U.N. peacekeepers, but by definition that is where the bulk of the problems we're addressing today lie," Mr. Holbrooke said. "AIDS is spread in so many different ways by so many different people. Sometimes, people bring it to regions; sometimes, they take it with them." This is not the first time the council has sought to address peacekeepers' role in spreading of the AIDS virus. Beginning in February, the council began adding a boiler-plate paragraph to every peacekeeping resolution "encouraging efforts by the United Nations to sensitize peacekeeping personnel in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases in all its peacekeeping operations." Mr. Holbrooke was careful to note that the resolution, which could come to a vote early next week, grew out of the council's January session on HIV/AIDS. At the time, the world body for the first time labeled the AIDS epidemic a threat to global peace and security. At the time, Mr. Holbrooke defended the expansion of the council's agenda, convincing reluctant governments that AIDS could be a security threat. "You can't cordon off a continent," he said Thursday. In the U.S. military, AIDS testing is mandatory upon entering the service and before deployment overseas. Mr. Holbrooke said that those who test positive for HIV are not deployed, but held back for treatment. Not every country is as wealthy as ours, he said, nor can the Security Council order mandatory testing, because it exceeds the authority of the United Nations. "That is not something U.N. can obligate member states to do," he said. A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

If God is not allowed there -- at the epicenter of intellectual life -- then surely He doesn't belong at other school events." --Chuck Colson "Some cases are lost. But memory is not lost. Hope is not lost. And as long as people hold on to such things, freedom is not lost. As long as Elian is remembered, neither he nor all the other tempest-tossed are lost. This is not the end of the drama, but only of the second act, as night falls. Some of us still believe in third acts, and morning. Some of us think of freedom as essential to human development, not as one more legal consideration to be weighed against others, like the over-arching claim of a bureaucracy. And certainly not as a bargaining chip in international relations. We think this case is about certain unalienable rights, rather than, as the court in Atlanta put it, 'the President's conduct of our nation's international affairs.' We think, we believe, that no president, no court, no bureaucracy can forever ignore those rights. That is the great advantage those of us who believe in freedom have over those who just want to get this case over with. We remember. We will remember Elian, and all the other Elians.

But the fact Mr. Clinton is no ordinary lawyer only enhances the argument for disbarment. This is what mothers call a teachable moment. Bill Clinton is now the most famous liar and perjurer in the whole world -- maybe the most famous liar in history. Through disbarment, the Arkansas courts can demonstrate that some people and institutions still uphold ordinary virtues like probity." --Mona Charen __O__ GOVERNMENT "The idea behind popular government (whether a democracy or a republic) is that the political process, mainly but not solely the electoral process, is the way government gets its marching orders. The people, by electing representatives, lobbying, marching, demonstrating, writing letters and in a thousand other ways, try to tell the government what they want done. The process may be indirect and diffused, but the idea is that the people are the bosses, the government apparatus the servants. If you believe any version of this theory, there's just no excuse for placing limitations (beyond those that involve actual harm or fraud, which can be handled through fairly simple, already existing laws) on this necessarily unruly and often messy process. If you want to place tight limitations on the political process, to be enforced by bureaucrats who cannot be removed from office because they weren't put there by the electoral process in the first place, then you obviously don't believe in popular government. Instead, you believe in some kind of facade of free elections, but one that is tightly controlled by those who already hold power. You believe in removing the connection between office holders and legitimate economic interests among the citizenry, instead making office holders beholden to and controlled by the permanent government." --Alan W. Bock
[CTRL] Gibson's Preacher More Fact Than Screenplay
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Gibson's Preacher More Fact Than Screenplay By Chuck Baldwin July 11, 2000 There is plenty for liberals to rail against in Mel Gibson's new movie, The Patriot, including youngsters taking up arms to defend their family, black people performing plantation duties of their own free will, and certain British army officers ruthlessly and brutally murdering women and children. Perhaps, the most politically incorrect scene of all, however, is where the local parish pastor picks up his musket and joins the militia. His explanation goes something like, "A pastor has to tend the flock and sometimes he has to fight off the wolves." This is quite a departure from Hollywood's usual characterization of Christian ministers. For the past thirty years, Hollywood has pictured preachers as wild-eyed, maniacal misfits. And those are the good ones! Not since Bing Crosby and Glenn Ford left the big screen has Hollywood had anything good to say about preachers. Gibson's preacher is a breath of fresh air. He is also an accurate reflection of hundreds of Colonial ministers who fought valiantly in America's War for Independence. Pastors from every Protestant denomination joined the cause for liberty and took up arms against the British, including Episcopalian ministers like Dr. Samuel Provost, of New York, Dr. John Croes, of New Jersey and Robert Smith, of South Carolina. Presbyterian clergymen like James Hall and Adam Boyd of North Carolina, James Armstrong of Maryland and James Caldwell of New Jersey were also counted among America's fighting parsons. Caldwell's story is especially inspiring. James Caldwell was pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth, New Jersey. He was affectionately called "The Rebel High Priest," and "The Fighting Chaplain." He has been made famous by the story "Give 'em Watts." It is told that at the Springfield engagement when the militia ran out of wadding for their muskets, Parson Caldwell galloped to the Presbyterian Church, and returning with an armload of hymn-books, threw them on the ground, exclaiming, 'Now, boys, give 'em Watts! Give 'em Watts!' Eventually, the British made martyrs of both Caldwell and his wife. Elizabeth fell to the Crown in 1780. Caldwell's church was burned to the ground, and his wife was shot. Later they shot Caldwell himself. A clergyman that expressed similar resolve was John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, who was the pastor of a Lutheran church in Woodstock, Virginia. When the news of Bunker Hill reached Virginia, he reminded his congregation that there was a time to preach and a time to fight. He cried, "It is now time to fight." And throwing off his vestments, he stood before his people in the uniform of a Virginia Colonel. Muhlenberg became a major general in the Continental Army and took part in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth. At Yorktown he commanded the first brigade. Colonel Joab Houghton of New Jersey is also typical of ministers in Colonial America. Houghton was in the Hopewell Baptist Church when he received the first information of Concord and Lexington. His great-grandson gives the following description of the way he treated the news: "Mounting the great stone block in front of the meeting-house, he beckoned to the people to stop. Men and women paused to hear, curious to know what so unusual a sequel to the service of the day could mean. Words stern as death fell over all. The Sabbath quiet of the hour and of the place was deepened into a terrible solemnity. He told them all the story of the cowardly murder at Lexington by the royal troops; the heroic vengeance following hard upon it; the retreat of Percy; the gathering of the children of the Pilgrims round the beleaguered hills of Boston; then pausing, and looking over the silent throng, he said slowly, 'Men of New Jersey, the red coats are murdering our brethren of New England! Who follows me to Boston?' And every man of that audience stepped out into line, and answered, 'I.' There was not a coward or a traitor in old Hopewell Baptist Meeting-House that day" (Baptists and the American Revolution; Cathcart). The truth is, America could never have won its independence from Great Britain had it not been for the support of its pastors. America's preachers sounded the clarion call for righteousness and freedom, and assisted the revolutionary effort with their own blood, sweat and tears. A major cause of our nation's current deterioration is the apathy and cowardice of America's pulpits! Many of today's pastors resemble politicians more than prophets; they have more fluff than fight. Onward Christian Soldiers has been taken out of their hymn-books, and the grit has been removed from their spine. No wonder our nation is in distress. Liberals may not like it, but It was men like Caldwell, Houghton and Muhlenberg that helped deliver this nation from the chains of tyranny and oppression. And it will

Barak seems ready to give up at least some suburbs of Jerusalem to the Palestinians, while some of his advisers would go further and plant the Palestinian flag over part of the city.

Mohammed Rashid, a top economic advisor to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, told reporters in the town of Ram'Allah that the some 50-strong Palestinian negotiating team heading to Camp David next week would ask for 40 billion dollars in aid, much of it for Palestinian refugees. ISRAELIS ASK CONGRESS TO HOLD BACK CLINTON: Israeli opposition lawmakers, who believe Barak's peace policies endanger the country's survival, want US legislators to run interference for them. Specifically, they've asked members of Congress to stop the Clinton administration from pressuring Israel into making more concessions in negotiations with the Palestinians. Barak's critics here say he is so intent on reaching an understanding that he may bow to American pressure, in the process abandoning Israel's security needs by handing over strategic territory to the Palestinian Authority (PA/PLO). [In fact, Barak must bow to the pressure from Clinton as it is Clinton who is responsible for getting Barak elected. Clinton is the 'defacto prime minister' of Israel.-- ed] THE MEDIA AND THE 'PIECE' PLAN: The media are, of course, running the usual stories to prepare the general public throughout the world. The French news agency AFP, stated in a recent story, "the Palestinians will push for the return of all land lost in 1967 ...". The problem is that the land did not belong to the "Palestinians" in 1967. Rather, in the case of Judea and Samaria, Jordan took the land during the fight for independence in 1948 and annexed it in 1950. In the case of Gaza, it was occupied by Egypt in 1948. In an effort to continue stirring up suspicions against the settlers of Yesha, HA'ARETZ recently reported, "A settler who is believed to have observed and noted security procedures implemented to protect Prime Minister Ehud Barak was detained and questioned by police last week. The suspect, who had sketches of details related to the prime minister's convoy in his possession, was released after questioning. Police interrogators concluded that the man's motives were not criminal." It went on to report, "... the Shin Bet has no concrete intelligence about actual plans to harm Barak. Personal security arrangements for the prime minister have not been beefed up." Notice that, as far as the police and Shin Bet were concerned, there was no story here. So why did HA'ARETZ feel it had to report the story? WELCOME TO THE 'BORDER GAMES': You could hear the rocks pelting the tin roof of an IDF (Israel Defense Force) trailer

Errors prompt review of AFIT service commitments RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- After discovering a large number of errors, the Air Force is reviewing the active duty service commitments of officers who are attending or have attended the Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, since 1991. The review will cover everyone who has been enrolled in a degree program through AFIT, whether the coursework is done there or through civilian colleges and universities. To date, a variety of errors have been found in the records of 1,200 officers. The errors range from ADSCs that are too long or too short to ADSCs that haven't been recorded in any official record, resulting in students who have no ADSC related to the education they received or are receiving. As mistakes are found, the records will be corrected, but only after the officer is notified and has a chance to appeal the action to the Air Force Personnel Center here. Because no two cases are exactly alike, each will be handled individually by the center and will be reviewed personally by Maj. Gen. Richard "Tex" Brown, commander of the personnel center. "We, the Air Force, made these mistakes and it's up to us to get this fixed," Brown said. "I'm committed to do that and will be personally engaged. We owe it to our officers." According to Brown, "The first step in this process is to send personal letters to each of the more than 1,200 officers with missing, inaccurate or otherwise flawed active duty service commitments to explain how AFPC will rectify the situation." Earlier this year, Secretary of the Air Force Whit Peters gave Brown the authority to grant relief from ADSCs in cases in which the Air Force made a mistake and enforcing the correct commitment would create an injustice. "I'm confident General Brown has the tools at his disposal to ensure our people are treated fairly," Peters said. "It's unfortunate that we made so many mistakes in active duty service commitments under the old regulation and enforcement system. Now, after a lot of hard work, I believe we're on the road to getting this problem fixed once and for all. Our service members deserve to know where they stand and should be able to have confidence that our system will treat them fairly." Peters said that he believes the officers affected understood they would receive a service commitment in exchange for valuable graduate-level education. However, the Air Force Instruction governing service commitments, that was in force at the time these officers made their decision to attend AFIT, was confusing and difficult to interpret. It has since been simplified as part of a comprehensive effort to ensure that ADSCs are entered into all airmen's records correctly. As part of AFPC's notification process, Air Force members who have been identified as having incorrect or inappropriate ADSCs will be informed of their appeal rights, to include their right to file applications with the Air Force Board for the Correction of Military Records. However, officials at AFPC are confident that the vast majority of incorrect ADSCs can be resolved quickly. (Courtesy of AFPC News Service) 001040. Booster-'bullet' snafu foils fifth NMD test flight WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- The fifth test flight of the prototype National Missile Defense system ended in failure early July 8 when the "bullet" and booster rocket stages didn't separate. A modified Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile with a target warhead was launched at 12:19 a.m. Eastern Time from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The prototype interceptor was launched about 20 minutes later from Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. Air Force Lt. Gen. Ronald T. Kadish, director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, explained immediately following the test that the exoatmospheric kill vehicle, the "bullet" of the NMD architecture, apparently waited for a signal from the booster rocket that never came. Lacking the signal, he said, the kill vehicle shut down its timeline and never attempted to intercept the Vandenberg target. The kill vehicle relies on hitting a target to destroy it. Defense officials reported later July 8 that everything else from kill vehicle sensors to ground control systems performed as expected up to moment separation should have occurred. They also said preliminary indications are the prototype tracking radar at Kwajalein performed well and discriminated the mock warhead from all other objects, including debris from an improperly inflated decoy balloon. Government and industry officials will review test data to trace the failure and determine test objectives that were or were not met. They would not estimate when the review would be complete. The National Missile Defense system is being designed to protect the United States from a limited ICBM attack. The United States
[CTRL] CONGRESS ACTION: July 9, 2000
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CONGRESS ACTION: July 9, 2000 = REGO: This is the catchy acronym for Al Gore's "Reinventing Government" initiatives. To hear Gore tell it, REGO has been a resounding success. According the official AlGore2000 website, "For nearly seven years, Al Gore has led the National Partnership for Reinventing Government -- a reform effort that has eliminated waste and inefficiency throughout the federal government, to make it cost less and work better for the American people. . So far, Gore's initiative has saved taxpayers $137 billion, helping to make it possible to balance the federal budget for the first time in 30 years. It has eliminated more than 16,000 pages of regulations, and 640,000 pages of internal rules." The balanced budget boast is, of course, simply silly, since it is Congress, not the Executive Branch, that spends money; it was the republican Congress that balanced the budget, just as it was democrat congresses in the 1980's that created the debt. An analysis of the facts shows that Gore's contact with reality appears to be tenuous at best. Fortunately for taxpayers, Gore's hype that he has "eliminated waste and inefficiency throughout the federal government" need not be taken at face value. Congress, as well as the General Accounting Office, and individual agency Offices of Inspector General, all exercise oversight over the activities of Executive Branch agencies, those same agencies that have been under the stewardship of the Clinton/Gore administration for more than seven years. And the true picture is not pretty. Ongoing waste at the Department of Housing and Urban Development exceeds $8.5 billion. The Office of the Inspector General at HUD audited a number of ongoing HUD programs. Regarding HUD's "Storefront Operations" and "Community Builder" program: "The audit found problems with storefront operations, its implementation, and its financial impact.". "We found little use of storefront facilities.". "HUD did not adequately plan of justify storefront site selections, exceeded budget costs.". "HUD opened new storefront offices to serve as national models for more responsive government, however, their impact is minimal and overall benefits cannot be measured." "The costs associated with six storefront operations are excessive and the benefits derived by the customers are not measurable." "The PHA [the Puerto Rico Public Housing Administration] did not comply with Federal and agency procurement requirements and did not maintain control over its central office procurement activities." "PHA management controls were not effective in deterring waste, abuse, and fraud." Referring to Atlanta's Homeownership Center (HOC), HUD's District Office of Inspector General wrote: "Our survey identified significant weaknesses.which warrant additional audit work and immediate corrective action." Ongoing waste at Department of Education exceeds $232 million. According to the General Accounting Office: "The Department's stewardship over these assets [$75 billion in federal education funds and $175 billion in student loans] has been under question as the agency has experienced persistent financial management weaknesses. Beginning with its first agencywide financial audit effort in fiscal year 1995, Education's auditors have each year reported largely the same serious internal control weaknesses.". Ongoing waste at Medicare exceeds $13 billion. According to the House Committee on the Budget: ".in the government's medical programs, fraud has taken on a new form. According to an October 1999 GAO report, Medicare and Medicaid have attracted their own class of criminals, who specialize in defrauding these government programs.. Compounding the problem is the government's own laxity in monitoring and oversight.". "In other words, the government itself bears at least some responsibility for the fraud perpetrated against its own programs." Ongoing waste at Department of Transportation exceeds $3.5 billion. According to the Office of the Inspector General of the Transportation Department: "The Rapidraft Payment System has been seriously mismanaged. It has been used extensively for purposes other than intended and subjected to embezzlement. The System should be discontinued." "The internal controls designed for the System were not followed resulting in numerous weaknesses that leave the System vulnerable to fraud, waste, and abuse." "The GSA Inspector General concluded that Rapidraft checks were not properly safeguarded and were improperly used." There is much more. But perhaps a fitting conclusion to this review of Gore's tenure in office involves his boast that REGO ".has eliminated more than 16,000 pages of regulations.". According to the Center for the Study of American Business, bureaucratic regulations will cost the American taxpayer an estimated $721 billion dollars this year (up from $642 billion when Bill Clinton

[CTRL] Susan Smith and the Murder of her two chidren
Night before last or day or two ago, MSNBC as I recall had the story of Susan Smith, the "mother" who drive her two children into a river, while she fled for safety. Of course she said "this black guy" and set the community of blacks in turmoil and at the time this knit hat looked about as phoney as OJ's magic gloves.. On TV anyone who has worked in a Court or a Judge, or lawyer, could probably tell she was lying...that she knew where her children were. This show told her her love affair not only with another, but with the man's father. The husband of Susam Smith is alleged to have had an affairand then of course, her father had suicided. Sad, very sad, only I feel no sympathy for her. Today it was reported on CNN that a mother in Missouri had driven into a river with her three children, and suicided. Now I wonder where this sicko, got the idea to do such a think - alleged she had marital problems. This MSNBC show depicting Poor Little Susan and what a good mother she had been, how she had been mistreaed. One thing was obvious to meboth Susan and her husband had that same dull stupid look I have seen on spaced out kids...some of the kids at Littleton, had this same look. When under drugs monkey see, monkey do. It is obvious the woman is Missouri got the idea from the MSNBC show, making Susan Smith a martyer figure. Now all the money that is put out in welfare and social services, it seems someone should have been willing to help this Susan Smith - and probably were. What was the purpose of this MSBNS show - to see how far their suggestive shows can go; way back in 1968 the Congress of the United States said in Committee - that television was like a big hypnotic eye - this came out shortly after Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, murdered Robert F. Kennedy in a drug induced hypnotic state - only, well he was a Rosicirucian. Rosicrucian's had this one nice book they offered at the time entitled "Your Mind Can Kill", code word for June, was POLL, and of course, Gemini - the Twins - Castor and Pollux - what stupid stuff, but Sirhan had a mentor and a reson, and they used the hypnotic eye and drugs to killby suggestion, and by word. So, three children dead, driving in a river by their mother, and did she see this show the night before and was she on drugs? Christopher Reeves was Superman - then one week he played in a movie where he was a paraplegic policeman, and later said he would like to live the role to see what it was like. I saw the movie, heard the comments on his wanting to kow what it was likeand within 2 or 3 days, well - what role does suggestion play in all this? Television is a powerful force our children learn to read (phonetics) and learn, and from Littleton, well those kids had a video well in advance of the crime they would commit, under drugs. Slaughter of the innocents? Is it entertainment to see two little dead kids looking out of a car window as their mother watches them drowned. This is a Picture, I wish I could get out of my head. Cui Bono this deplorable story of lovely mother Susan Smith, who now wants sympathy.and even psychoogists, we are to feel pity? I do not think of her; I think of the two children who died, and now of the three who died only this mother went to her death, with her children. Susan was called the most hated person.wonder why? Now real Clinton like, remember this hate legislation? Isn't MSNBC guity of creating a lot of hatred directed to a lot of people, hanging people before they are found guilty of crimes..and we are to hug little kid who murdered another 6 year old? Think MSNBC is getting worried about getting a few hate crimes filed against them? Think people remember them at Waco with their "get this show on the road" or we go ??? Along with others. Tabloids creating hatred of people, even degrading the little Princess of Wales but then we know who controls some of the Tabloids - MI6 and CIA..refer to Bob Pope, who headed up Enquirer and this was later exposed to be true. So graphic details of murder, barbarism, kids killing kids, Freddie, Halloween and now all lesbian and homosexuals activities being shown on TV and the makers of these films who go full force propaganda wise in war and are controlled through the writers and head honchos..this is slaughter of innocents and the use ofo these hynotic drugs and hate material on TV - and hey, I cannot even say I prefer to live with my own without being considered "bigot", "fascist" Hatelook to Dees and ADL and their hate hit list they turned over to FBI. This is psychlogical warfare directed at the American citizens, and you wonder why this country nears a civil riot - Clinton wants it.

[CTRL] Russia: Journalism in Extreme Situations
Center for Journalism in Extreme Situations ÁÒÈÉ×/archive: www.index.org.ru/cjes/ Russian Union of Journalists: www.ruj.ru BELARUS/RUSSIA STATEMENT ON DISAPPEARANCE OF DMITRY ZAVADSKY, ORT CAMERAMAN, IN MINSK New York, July 10---Dmitry Zavadsky,Áa Belarusian cameraman for ORT, the Russian public television station, has been missing since he failed to appear at a meeting on July 7 at the Minsk airport, where he had intended to pick up Pavel Sheremet, a Belarusian journalist now working for Russia's NTV in Moscow, Belarusian colleagues said today. The Belarusian Transport Prosecutor's Office has opened a criminal case in connection with the disappearance, and friends and family are searching for Zavadsky. The International League for Human Rights, an NGO defending human rights and the rule of law around the world, expressed grave concern about Zavadsky's disappearance. "We call on the Belarusian Prosecutor General, the Interior Minister, the Chair of the Committee for State Security,Áand the Chair of the National Security Council to take personal responsibility for ordering a good-faith, thorough investigation for Zavadsky and other disappeared persons in Belarus," said Catherine A. Fitzpatrick, executive director of the League. BelaPAN, the independent wire service, said today that Zavadsky's wife told reporters that her husband and Pavel Sheremet had returned from Chechnya recently, where they shot a documentary called "The Chechen Diary" depicting the horrors of combat. Immediately upon their return, an unknown man began to call at their home number, insisting on a meeting with Zavadsky. He refused, however, suspecting that the Belarusian secret services, who closely monitor the independent media, were behind the caller. Belarusian journalists were puzzled by theÁapparent singling out of Zavadsky, who, together with Pavel Sheremet, was believed to favor anti-Chechen coverage of the conflict, unlike some in the Russian journalists' community who have been critical of the Russian government's prosecution of the war. Zavadsky was also apparently not involved in Minsk opposition groups. Zavadsky has reportedly been under surveillance by Belarusian secret police, still known as the KGB, since his pre-trial jailing together with Pavel Sheremet, former Minsk ORT bureau chief, in 1999, when he was handed an 18-month suspended sentence for alleged illegally crossing the Belarus-Lithuania during the filming of a documentary on smuggling. Four opposition leaders disappeared in 1999; three are still missing and one has surfaced in London, prompting Belarusian officialdom to scorn claims of secret police abduction, and to discount reports of Zavadsky's disappearance. But opposition leaders and human rights groups have dismissed as absurd yesterday's statement by Vladimir Zametalin, first deputy chief of the Presidential Administration, that the Belarusian opposition arranged the kidnapping of Dmitry Zavadsky. "If a person already under surveillance attempts to go into hiding due to enormous fear, and has not been abducted, that does not change the seriousness of the case," said Catherine A. Fitzpatrick. "The opposition has no motivation to abduct people. In each caseÁof last year's disappearances, the opposition figures were under regular KGB surveillance. We urge the security authorities to come forward with what they know." "We also urge all parties involved in investigating Zavadsky's disappearance to refrain from speculation on the content of his character or the content of his broadcasts, which may have been controversial for some. Such second-guessing has slowed down the search for disappeared persons in the past. The point is to look for Zavadsky in earnest before the trail goes cold because no public figure is safe when a journalist or a politician can disappear in broad daylight," Fitzpatrick emphasized. The League called on the U.S. Embassy and the OSCE AMG to make public statements on the Zavadsky case as quickly as possible, to interview all those concerned and publicize their findings, and also to raise the case of Dmitry Zavadsky in bilateral meetings with the Russian Federation government. "In this climate of terror and intimidation, clearly it is impossible to conduct free and fair parliament elections this fall, which require freedom of association and assembly for NGOs and parties and freedom for the independent media as the fundamental background," noted Fitzpatrick. "We call on international bodies such as OSCE and the Council of Europe to refrain from sending observation teams to this fall's illegitimate balloting exercise, which will only serve to legitimize it, until the conditions set by these bodies are met, investigations are made for the disappeared, and there is an end to government persecution for a significant period before the elections." -- Best regards, Oleg Panfilov director of the Center for Journalism in Extreme Situations phone/fax: +7 095 201-7626 'hot line' phone:

[CTRL] Fwd: Al Gore's Guy and NAFTA
The Story Behind NAFTA The true story behind NAFTA is one of "byzantine mercantile gangsterism" "NAFTA was an investment agreement designed to protect American corporations in Mexico, lock in the low wage rate, and raise cash for a beleaguered political oligarchy." The cast of characters mounting the campaign to 'sell NAFTA' is carnivalesque, including NAFTA czar William Daley, who is now national campaign chair for Vice President Al Gore. "THE SELLING OF "FREE TRADE" -- NAFTA, Washington, and the Subversion of American Democracy" by John R. MacArthur -- Hill and Wang; 388 pages; $25 REVIEWED BY John Phillip Santos San Francisco Chronicle "Book Review," July 2, 2000 Late in the evening of Jan. 1, 1994, I drove on a mountain road into San Cristobal de las Casas in the southern state of Chiapas, Mexico. The street lamps flickered in the valley below like beacons from a distant galaxy. As I rolled with the headlights off into that picturesque town from the era of the Conquest, the cobblestone streets were empty. It felt eerie. After all, it was New Year's Day. But it also happened to be the auspicious inaugural day of the much-vaunted North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), in observance of which a previously unknown rebel Maya army, the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (EZLN), had seized the Palacio Municipal in San Cristobal and declared war on the Mexican state. These days, barely more than five years since that night, the Zapatistas are still in the jungles of Chiapas, occasionally kicking up dust with the Mexican army, but when was the last time you heard NAFTA mentioned in public? How could such a one-time noisy panacea that would usher in an idyllic age of borderless trade across las Americas fall so quickly out of view? In "The Selling of 'Free Trade': NAFTA, Washington, and the Subversion of American Democracy," journalist and Harper's publisher John MacArthur offers an unequivocal answer: "NAFTA was an extension of American dominance over a much weaker country," in other words, a dirty business -- once done, best forgotten. The book is an illuminating, periodically astounding serial account of how NAFTA was forged, then spun, out of opportunistic backroom alliances between the Bush and Clinton administrations, joined by congressional Republicans and Democrats alike -- all of them in close consultation with a star chamber of businessmen and their phalanxes of lobbyists. According to the author, except for an apocryphal tale of a late night reverie in which Mexican President Carlos Salinas allegedly had the first free-trade epiphany, Mexicans played a secondary, junior-partner role in creating NAFTA. MacArthur writes in a clear, spare voice, which helps the reader sort through the byzantine mercantile gangsterism he details as the true story behind NAFTA. As MacArthur steadily builds his case, it seems likely the book will earn its extreme subtitle, "the Subversion of American Democracy." "NAFTA was an investment agreement," MacArthur writes, "designed to protect American corporations in Mexico, lock in the low wage rate, and raise cash for a beleaguered political oligarchy." The cast of characters mounting the campaign to "sell NAFTA" is carnivalesque, including NAFTA czar William Daley, who afterward became commerce secretary and is now national campaign chair for Vice President Al Gore. Imagine President Reagan, sounding like another Bolivar, speaking in Tampa in 1983 of "a united hemisphere, united not by the arbitrary bonds of state, but by the voluntary bonds of free ideals." Or Congressman Bill Richardson, House Majority whip, leading the charge for passage of NAFTA, working himself into a lather as he tries to rally the Democratic votes needed to pass the agreement. Lee Iacocca has a show-stealing walk-on as the diva-oracle of political television spots, brought in for a star performance on behalf of treaty passage. Lone wolf socialist Congressman Bernie Sanders of Vermont, in protest against NAFTA, introduces a bill to equalize American legislators' salaries with those of their Mexican peers. And in a bravura last-minute flourish, President Clinton, in a cell phone call, snags a vote from Oklahoma Congressman Bill Brewster by offering to go duck hunting with him. In one of the book's climactic moments, during an interview with MacArthur, Richardson, now the embattled secretary of energy, born in Mexico City to an American banker father and a Mexican mother, reveals why his passions on NAFTA were so strong. "Richardson turned misty-eyed as he recounted one of his father's last requests. 'My father once said to me -- I think I was away at school (in the United States), and I came home and he said to me -- `Always help Mexico -- I'm going to die,' and, 'always help Mexico.'

The local press claims the attackers to be members of the region's most powerful mafiya. As Sverdlovsk Regional Governor Eduard Rossel steps in to lead the investigation, the Interior Ministry announces that it will take control. President Vladimir Putin is now presented with an opportunity to achieve his ultimate goal of Russian economic and political power. Putin needs to quash corruption as well as reassert his control over the regional governors. Analysis The director of the Uralmashzavod machine works, Gen. Oleg Belonenko was shot outside of his company apartment July 10 by two hooded gunmen according to ITAR-Tass and Agence France Presse reports. Local press claimed the attackers to be members of the Uralmash Mafiya group, which has previously attempted to gain control of Uralmashzavod and extract profits from the company. Sverdlovsk Regional Governor Eduard Rossel initially announced that he would lead the investigation, but the Russian Interior Ministry later announced it would take control. President Vladimir Putin plans to exploit Rossel's connections to the Uralmash mafiya, using his corruption as justification for tightening control over the regional governors. Belonenko's murder occurred in the Sverdlovsk region of Russia, in the city of Yekaterinburg, which is widely regarded by organized crime experts as the mafiya capital of Russia. Belonenko, a rising star in the Russian economy, had increased productivity at Uralmashzavod by 58 percent and sales by 90 percent. He succeeded in negotiating a full order schedule since his installment in December 1999. Belonenko was also named one of Russia's top business managers and was scheduled to meet with Putin July 13 at a Russian arms exhibition. Under Belonenko's supervision, Uralmashzavod continued to play a critical role within the Russian economy, producing 90 percent of the mining equipment, 50 percent of the nuclear power equipment and 70 percent of the drilling equipment used in Russia. The factory's operations, which also include the production of strategic alloy and military hardware, are the cornerstone of Russian economic production and vital to Russian heavy industry. Would you like to see full text? http://www.stratfor.com/SERVICES/giu2000/071200.ASP ___ Belonenko had succeeded in rooting out mafiya influence already established under his predecessor Viktor Korovin. As recently as July 5, Belonenko won a court order to force the Uralmash mafiya to change its name, which he claimed negatively impacted the company. Being the largest mafiya group in the region, Uralmash are almost institutional figures, having run for parliamentary seats and started an anti-drug campaign within Yekaterinburg. Under Korovin, the Uralmash mafiya set up one hundred front companies to sell products produced at the plant. Thus, while Belonenko increased production, the profits were taken by the mafiya, who controlled the distribution channels. Immediately following the killing, Sverdlovsk Regional Governor Eduard Rossel announced to local media that he would personally handle the investigation.

HEARST, EXAMINED
Engrossing biography underscores the media baron's
fascinating contradictions
"Starting out as a crusader for the interests of the working
man against the entrenched power of 'the Trusts,' Hearst later
morphed into one of the nation's leading reactionaries when FDR's
New Deal threatened to undermine his own fortune.
"Hearst used all the considerable tools at his disposal to
prepare his countrymen to invade and annex Mexico, where the
revolution jeopardized extensive Hearst properties -- a fact the
publisher instructed his editors not to mention. Decades earlier
he had written, 'I really don't see what is to prevent us from
owning all Mexico and running it to suit ourselves.'

as well as Goering, Mussolini and other leading fascists, while

"THE CHIEF: The Life of William Randolph Hearst"
By David Nasaw -- Houghton Mifflin; 656 pages; $35
REVIEWED BY Gray Brechin
San Francisco Chronicle "Book Review," July 2, 2000
Call him the ultimate control freak. Call him spoiled
rotten, a dangerous radical, a fascist, awesomely powerful, a
loser, a patriot, a traitor, the leading debaucher of journalism,
a connoisseur, a magpie or simply the world's most spectacular
spendthrift. William Randolph Hearst has been called all of these
and many more, and he was most of them during his long and
tumultuous life. No fewer than 10 biographies have been published
on the man, and others on the Hearst dynasty, while more are in
the works.
Hearst fascinates endlessly, and so does David Nasaw's new
biography, "The Chief," which, as with the best that came before
it, reads like a novel. Given the subject, it could hardly do
otherwise, because Hearst cut a broad wake through the better
part of a century. No one but W.R. himself could make up such a
character.
Nasaw's biography will likely replace W.A. Swanberg's
"Citizen Hearst" as the definitive Hearst biography and hot
seller at the San Simeon gift shop. A professor of history at
City College of New York, Nasaw gained access to Hearst papers
never before seen by researchers and, with the aid of graduate
students and other assistants, amalgamated an immense amount of
material into a highly readable portrait of a fascinating
individual.
Those familiar with the Hearst saga will find little new in
the broad outlines. The pampered only child of one of the West's
canniest mining promoters and his wife, a demanding mother who
was as culturally voracious as she was splendidly philanthropic,
William leveraged the family fortune into what was once the
world's greatest multimedia conglomerate.
Starting out as a crusader for the interests of the working
man and the immigrant with the San Francisco Examiner, rallying
against the entrenched power of "the Trusts," Hearst later
morphed into one of the nation's leading reactionaries when FDR's
New Deal threatened to undermine his own fortune. He built
palaces and raided Europe of art and entire monasteries. His
motivations baffled many and provided the basis for Orson
Welles' masterpiece, "Citizen Kane." Joan Didion admired the
audacity with which he crowned a California mountaintop with a
fairy-tale castle, all so that his guests could admire from its
terraces the miles of coastline that he claimed as his
birthright.
Hearst's initial sincerity as a privileged crusader for the
rights of the downtrodden has always constituted a major part of
the mystery. Did he experience a political conversion late in
life, or did he simply remove a mask he wore while younger?
Without directly saying so, Nasaw strongly suggests the
latter. Hearst's letters to his parents reveal a precociously
conniving young man avid for ever more wealth and for the power
he knew it could purchase to make him richer still. In 1889 he
wrote his mother after a buying spree in Europe that his
"artistic longings are not altogether distinct from avarice,"
while he advised his father that large newspaper illustrations
were necessary to "stimulate the imagination of the lower classes
... and thus are of particular importance to that class
of people which the Examiner claims to address." Hearst knew that
he would need the votes of "that class of people" if he was ever
to reach the White House.
He had no doubt that he was qualified to run the country
(and possibly the world) in the same way he micromanaged his
newspapers and movies. Doubt, of any sort, appears to have been
alien to Hearst's makeup. "The allied newspaper, publications,
and news services controlled and directed by Mr. Hearst KNOW the
sentiments and feelings and opinions of the American people,
day by day, as no one else knows them," proclaimed Hearst's
editorial pages in
[CTRL] Fwd: Hot and Hotter
Heat Wave Broils Southeast Europe .c The Associated Press ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Scorching heat claimed more lives, rekindled fires and closed sweltering offices across southeast Europe Tuesday, and forecasters said the heat wave will continue to the weekend. In Switzerland, an unusual cold snap brought snow to Alpine passes, forcing at least one to close to allow snowplows to clear 12 miles of road. But it was a different weather story in Greece, where firefighters managed to extinguish more than 150 wildfires, but were still battling to put out a blaze on the resort island of Samos. A weeklong heat wave in the region was expected to peak Wednesday with temperatures forecast to reach a high of 109. The mercury was expected to drop into the high 70s or 80s by Friday, the national weather service said. On the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, the heat wave is blamed for the death of Greek-American Louise-Marie Roussou, 62, who suffered a heart attack. That brought to five the number of heat-related deaths since the weekend, authorities said. Tuesday's temperatures reached 106 in the shade in Nicosia. There are fears a prolonged heat wave could trigger the same deadly effects as August 1998 when a record hot spell claimed some 60 lives. In Turkey, the government ordered state offices shut down for two days this week after meteorologists predicted more intense heat in the coming days. Temperatures in the heat wave have surpassed 104 across much of Turkey - well above seasonal averages. At least 12 people have died, including two on Tuesday, in heat-related incidents. The National Climatic Data Center noted that the United States experienced the hottest January-May in 106 years of record keeping -- a report sure to stir the debate over the potential threat of global warming. On a global basis, land and ocean surface temperature readings also were warmer than normal, tying 1990 as the second warmest spring on record. Recent work by David Hathaway, a solar physicist at the Marshall Space Flight Center, indicates that solar activity will peak around the middle of the year 2000. "Our predictions have consistently targeted 2000 as the beginning of solar maximum," says Hathaway. "The projected peak is comparable to ... the peaks of the last two maxima (in 1989 and 1978) -- above average compared to all sunspots cycle since the mid 1700s." --http://science.nasa.gov/newhome/headlines/ast14oct99_1.htm
Re: [CTRL] Ben Creme and his Maitreya
Eagle1, Funny you should forward the enclosed article. This ad appears on the back cover of one of my favorite books, THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW. The author's thesis is that the New Age Movement is following the work of Alice Ann Bailey as if it were a recipe, and Maitreya (as described by Benjamin Creme, himself a fan of Bailey's work) is a prime example of that.

Reprinted from the Los Angeles Times: April 25, 1982 THE WORLD HAS HAD ENOUGH . . . OF HUNGER, INJUSTICE, WAR. IN ANSWER TO YOUR CALL FOR HELP, AS WORLD TEACHER FOR ALL HUMANITY, THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE. HOW WILL WE RECOGNIZE HIM? Look for a modern man concerned with modern problems - political, economic, and social. Since July, 1977, the Christ has been emerging as a spokesman for a group or community in a well-known modern country. He is not a religious leader, but an educator in the broadest sense of the word - pointing the way out of our present crisis. We will recognize him by his extraordinary spiritual potency, the university of his viewpoint, and his love for all humanity. He comes not to judge, but to aid and to inspire. WHO IS THE CHRIST? Throughout history, humanity's evolution has been guided by a group of enlightened men, the masters of wisdom. They have remained largely in the remote desert and mountainous places of earth, working mainly through their disciples who live openly in the world. This message of the Christ's reappearance has been given primarily by such a disciple trained for his task for over 20 years. At the center of his "spiritual hierarchy" stands the World Teacher, Lord Maitreya and the Jews await the Messiah, the Buddhists the fifth Buddah, the Moslems the Imam Mahdi, and the Hindus await Krishna. These are the names for one individual. His presence in the world guarantees there will be no third world war. WHAT IS HE SAYING? "My task will be to show you how to live together peacefully as brothers. This is simpler than you imagine, My Friends, for it requires only the acceptance of sharing." "How can you be content with the modes within which you now live: when millions starve and die and squalor; when the rich parade their wealth before the poor; when each man is his neighbor's enemy; when no man trusts his brother?" "Allow me to show you the way forward into a simpler life where no man lacks; where no two days are alike: where the Job of Brotherhood manifests through all men." "Take your brother's need as the measure for your action and solve the problem of the world." WHEN WILL WE SEE HIM? "He has not as yet declared his true status, and his location is known only to a very few disciples. One of these has announced that soon the Christ will acknowledge his identity and within the next two months will speak to humanity through a worldwide television and radio broadcast. His message will be heard inwardly, telepathically, by all people in their own language. From that time, with his help, we will build a new world. WITHOUT SHARING THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE; WITHOUT JUSTICE THERE CAN BE NO PEACE; WITHOUT PEACE THERE CAN BE NO FUTURE. This statement is appearing simultaneously in major cities of the world.

David Spangler has defined that initiation as a Luciferic initiation and for those who cannot accept the " New Christ " - they will be sent to another dimension other than physical incarnation, according to Spangler. Creme says that cash will be abolished and the world will go to a more rational exchange, such as a computerized barter economy. Creme has said that the " initiations " will be given on a mass planetary basis in a "revitalized Christian church" and in the Masonic Lodges and other esoteric organizations. Creme said there would be the "sword of cleavage" for all who would not go willingly into the future with the so-called new "Christ".

He must be white, he must be male, and he must be rich. He must also belong to certain elite clubs and institutions which help to distinguish him from those he is called upon to rule. George Bush is a member of Skull and Bones, an elite secret society open only to an elect 15 males in their senior year at Yale University. If this club appears somewhat exclusionary, don't worry; they have made great strides in the past few years. Recent Bones inductees include a few blacks, gays, and even some foreign students. However, it has been said that if women were ever allowed into the secret "tomb" (meeting place) of Skull and Bones, the tomb would "have to be bulldozed." The importance of Skull and Bones is not that it provides good gossip about young males doing strange things in tombs, but that it provides a certain bond between members which they carry for life. Membership to Skull and Bones is the first initiation into the world of power politics and capitalism. It is somewhat akin to a "junior" old boy's network. One of the interesting aspects of this secret society is the number of Bones members, who, after graduation, move on to do intelligence work. There has even been informed speculations that there is a "Bones cell" in the C.I.A. Wheather there is a Bones cell or not in the C.I.A. is open to interesting debate. We can, however, examine the histories of several Bonesmen who have gone on to illustrious careers in intelligence work. One of the most unusual Bonesmen is the Reverend William Sloane Coffin, Jr. Known best for his anti-Vietnam war activities and his political activism at Riverside Church in New York City, Sloane Coffin was recruited by the C.I.A. shortly after he graduated from Yale in 1949. Although his tenure at the Agency was short, he is one example of the C.I.A.'s use of the secret society to fill their ranks. Another illustrious Skull and Bones member with close ties to the C.I.A. is arch conservative and renowned propagandist, William F. Buckley. According to several experts on the C.I.A., Buckley began his cooperation with the Agency while he was in Mexico City in 1952, where his good friend, E. Howard Hunt, the C.I.A. station chief at the time. As an interesting aside, Buckley and Bush (as well as many other Washington and business elite) are members of the "prestigious" older -boys California getaway, "The Bohemian Club". It is not surprising, given the Buckley family's wealth and status, that Bill's older brother, James Buckley, is also a member of Skull and Bones. From 1981-82 Buckley was Under Secretary of State for Security Assistance, Science, and Technology where it was his job to see that U.S. military aid went to support the right regimes. He once stated that C.I.A. covert activities in Chile, which led to the overthrow of democratically-elected Salvador Allende, were necessary because, "It was only by virtue of covert help by the United States that these free institutions were able to survive in the face of increasingly repressive measures by the Allende regime. Buckley was also directly connected to the work of the Chilean secret police, DINA. In September 1976, DINA agents assassinated former Chilean diplomat Orlando Leterlier and his colleague, Ronni Moffitt in Washington D.C. "Independent researchers verified through the F.B.I. and Department of Justice - that on September 14, 1976, one week before the Letelier assassination, Michael Townley and Guillermo Novo [two DINA agents involved in the assassination] drove to the office of Senator James Buckley in New York City for a meeting. Buckley had helped finance trips to Chile for Novo and others close to the killling. When C.I.A. agent David Atlee Phillips was accused of being involved in assassination he started an organization entitled "Challenge: An Intelligence Officers' Legal Action Fund." The board of "Challenge" included former C.I.A. director William Colby, former C.I.A. Inspector General Lyman Kirkpatrick, former intelligence officer Richard Stillwell, and interestingly, James Buckley. Hugh Cunningham, Bonesman from the class of 1934, is a Rhodes Scholar with a lengthy career in C.I.A. He was in the Agency from 1947 to 1973 during which time he served in top positions with the Clandestine Services, the Board of National Estimates, and was the Director of Training from 1969-73. He also served with the C.I.A.'s precursor, the Central Intelligence Group from 1945-47. William Bundy is a Bonesman from the class of 1939. Bundy began his intelligence career in the OSS during World War II. From

Controversial!! (warning:783k) excerpts: Drug War Economics [snip] Colleges or Prisons Every year, California budgets are fought on this issue. With the annual introduction of million dollar campaign contributions to the Wilson campaign, prison budgets are again on the rise. Are these prisons a deterrent to crime or a ticket to crime? What is the economic effect of the prison system on California and the future? Conclusions are drawn from the following data. A four year degree costs $20,000 at $5,000 per year. The average lifetime value of a college degree is $600,000. "Three Strikes" lifetime costs average 40 years at $25,000 a year. Over 700,000 drug offenders are in American jails and 1.5 million inmates total. Department of Corrections, "Three Strikes" estimates are 20 new prisons at $500,000,000 each for 84,000 additional inmates. (25 year Prison bonds) Here are the results given the above information: Each new prison cost's $120,000 per inmate to build. America denies 6 citizens a college education for each new prison bed. Each new prison bed is worth $3,600,000 in lost future income for America. Each "Three Strikes" inmate denies 50 college degrees. Each "Three Strikes" inmate denies America $30,000,000 in future income. Each "Three Strikes" inmate costs the Federal Government $4,500,000 in future taxes at 15% and California $1,800,000 at 6%. America spends 17.5 billion dollars to jail drug offenders annually. This denies 875,000 college degrees each year. Over the next 40 years, America will spend over $700 billion housing drug offenders. This will deny 35,000,000 a college degree worth 21 trillion dollars in lost future income. This represents over $500 billion in lost wages annually in America, over $75 billion in federal revenues, and $3 billion in revenues to California. Every dollar needlessly spent on the Drug War or other prison programs denies America $30 in future income and $6.25 in future tax revenues. California has the second largest prison system in the world and is second only to China in prison population. We are now going through a second prison boom called, "Three Strikes." During our "Three Strikes" debate, none of our local candidates, Pete Wilson, the media, or the prison industry had any idea of the costs of this bill or where the money would come from to pay for the program. Here is the State's response under Pete Wilson and the "Three Strikes" frenzy. Q: Has anyone in your office found out how much this bill is going to cost? A: No. Q: Why not? A: It is not our responsibility. Q: Whose is it? A: I don 't know. Q: Why not? A: I don't know. Q: Then why don't you do the study yourself? A: We do not have the money to do the study. Q: Then how will we pay for "Three Strikes" ?A: I don't know. Q: Is this representative going to support the Bill? A: Yes Q: WHY? A: Because he has to be tough on crime. Q: Can this bankrupt the state? A: I hope not. Senator Hayden was the only one asking these questions. The prison industry has earned the name "Grey Gold" in California. Each new prison generates annual payrolls approaching $100 million. This provides employees good, middle class wages and benefits. Prisons are an economic boom for local economies. Unfortunately, they do not provide prosperity to this state or country. They create nothing for domestic or foreign markets for a stable economic base. Increased prison costs decrease future revenues for citizens and government. Finally, the tax base is the market for the prison industry. "Three Strikes" is a 70% increase in prison population in five years. The increased annual costs are $3 billion a year after $10 billion in construction costs for twenty new prisons. Pete Wilson and prison industry representatives have recently claimed "Three Strikes" as cost effective. The authors of studies, they used as references, refuted those claims.

[CTRL] China Helps Pakistan Build Missiles

From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: "Lloyd Miller" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: China Helps Pakistan Build Missiles Date: Tuesday, July 04, 2000 8:35 AM From: Howard Rothenburg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SNET: China Helps Pakistan Build Missiles, Says NY Times Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2000 21:00:50 -0700 - SNETNEWS Mailing List Saturday July 1 10:46 PM ET China Helps Pakistan Build Missiles, Says NY Times NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence agencies have told the Clinton administration and Congress that China has continued to aid Pakistan's effort to build long-range missiles that could carry nuclear weapons, the New York Times reported. The newspaper in its Sunday edition said that in a series of classified briefings in Congress, most recently Thursday, the agencies described how China stepped up the shipment of specialty steels, guidance systems and technical expertise to Pakistan, China's longtime strategic ally, after India and Pakistan set off rival nuclear tests in 1998. The revelations are complicating President Clinton's effort to win quick Senate passage of a bill establishing normal trade relations with China, the daily said. Chinese experts have also been sighted around Pakistan's newest missile factory, which appears to be partly based on a Chinese design, and shipments to Pakistan have been continued over the past 8 to 18 months, the newspaper quoted several officials with access to the intelligence reports as saying. The New York Times said the Clinton administration was sending a large delegation to Beijing Tuesday to raise the issue in detail. The delegation will be headed by John Holum, senior adviser to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright for arms control. Legislation granting permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) to China was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives in May and is awaiting Senate approval. Once approved by the Senate and signed into law by Clinton, PNTR would end the annual ritual of reviewing Beijing's trade status and guarantee Chinese goods the same low-tariff access to U.S. markets as products from nearly every other nation. In exchange for the trade benefits, China would open a wide range of markets, from agriculture to telecommunications, to U.S. businesses under the terms of a landmark agreement signed in November 1999, a major step in China's bid to join the World Trade Organization. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum. **FREE RARE BOOK SEARCH: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** Explore Our Archive: http://a-albionic.com/a-albionic.html A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Cite your sources, Nazi. -- Reply, The monks were members of the SS. The dead ones were in SS uniforms, I have no idea what the living ones were wearing when thet were taken to the hospital. They were probably members of the Nazi party as well. However, they were Tibeten monks, and they were turned over to the NKVD following their treatment in a hospital. I have no information that confirms that they, either the living or the dead, were wearing green gloves. The living monks were discovered following the week or so of Soviet rampages which were commited following the fall of berlin. There is sufficient documentation concerning this rampage as to explain the reason these men were not discovered until after rampage, and why the monks were malnourished and dehydrated when they were found. So far as interracial Nazi's are concerned, there were several SS groups that were made up of non Caucasians, including one from Japan, a group of a half dozen 'Secret fighters' known more popularly as Ninja's. There were black Nazis as well, one of then worked for the Abwher, military intelligence service. His family came from the former German East Africa, know known as Kenya, he was a dedicated National Socialist. He attained the rank of Strum furher during the war. I have no idea of what became of him either. Regards, John M. Hansen = Subject: Re: Green Gloved/Tibetian Nazis??!! From: "John M.

The building from which these monks were taken was destroyed in the remodeling of Berlin during the Soviet occupation, as were many others with bomb damage. Himmler had a penchant for collecting odd people and odd groups around him, the Tibetans were but one example. His devotion to promoting 'Aryan Yoga' was another. He had a Hindu holy man visit Germany in 1937 or 1938. The man returned home before the war. Not to many people are alive today who remember these 'Interesting Times' by having lived through them. It could well be that the majority of the accurate information that is available on the Tibetans SS monks has appeared in this news group.

[CTRL] FBI's System to Covertly Search E-Mail
Wall Street Journal - July 11, 2000 FBI's System to Covertly Search E-Mail Raises Legal Issues, Privacy Concerns By NEIL KING JR. and TED BRIDIS Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is using a superfast system called Carnivore to covertly search e-mails for messages from criminal suspects. Essentially a personal computer stuffed with specialized software, Carnivore represents a new twist in the federal government's fight to sustain its snooping powers in the Internet age. But in employing the system, which can scan millions of e-mails a second, the FBI has upset privacy advocates and some in the computer industry. Experts say the system opens a thicket of unresolved legal issues and privacy concerns. The FBI developed the Internet wiretapping system at a special agency lab at Quantico, Va., and dubbed it Carnivore for its ability to get to "the meat" of what would otherwise be an enormous quantity of data. FBI technicians unveiled the system to a roomful of astonished industry specialists here two weeks ago in order to steer efforts to develop standardized ways of complying with federal wiretaps. Federal investigators say they have used Carnivore in fewer than 100 criminal cases since its launch early last year. Word of the Carnivore system has disturbed many in the Internet industry because, when deployed, it must be hooked directly into Internet service providers' computer networks. That would give the government, at least theoretically, the ability to eavesdrop on all customers' digital communications, from e-mail to online banking and Web surfing. The system also troubles some Internet service providers, who are loath to see outside software plugged into their systems. In many cases, the FBI keeps the secret Carnivore computer system in a locked cage on the provider's premises, with agents making daily visits to retrieve the data captured from the provider's network. But legal challenges to the use of Carnivore are few, and judges' rulings remain sealed because of the secretive nature of the investigations. Issue briefing: Net Privacy * * * Internet wiretaps are conducted only under state or federal judicial order, and occur relatively infrequently. The huge majority of wiretaps continue to be the traditional telephone variety, though U.S. officials say the use of Internet eavesdropping is growing as everyone from drug dealers to potential terrorists begins to conduct business over the Web. The FBI defends Carnivore as more precise than Internet wiretap methods used in the past. The bureau says the system allows investigators to tailor an intercept operation so they can pluck only the digital traffic of one person from among the stream of millions of other messages. An earlier version, aptly code-named Omnivore, could suck in as much as to six gigabytes of data every hour, but in a less discriminating fashion. Still, critics contend that Carnivore is open to abuse. Mark Rasch, a former federal computer-crimes prosecutor, said the nature of the surveillance by Carnivore raises important privacy questions, since it analyzes part of every snippet of data traffic that flows past, if only to determine whether to record it for police. "It's the electronic equivalent of listening to everybody's phone calls to see if it's the phone call you should be monitoring," Mr. Rasch said. "You develop a tremendous amount of information." Others say the technology dramatizes how far the nation's laws are lagging behind the technological revolution. "This is a clever way to use old telephone-era statutes to meet new challenges, but clearly there is too much latitude in the current law," said Stewart Baker, a lawyer specializing in telecommunications and Internet regulatory matters. Robert Corn-Revere, of the Hogan Hartson law firm here, represented an unidentified Internet service provider in one of the few legal fights against Carnivore. He said his client worried that the FBI would have access to all the e-mail traffic on its system, raising dire privacy and security concerns. A federal magistrate ruled against the company early this year, leaving it no option but to allow the FBI access to its system. "This is an area in desperate need of clarification from Congress," said Mr. Corn-Revere. "Once the software is applied to the ISP, there's no check on the system," said Rep. Bob Barr (R., Ga.), who sits on a House judiciary subcommittee for constitutional affairs. "If there's one word I would use to describe this, it would be 'frightening."' Marcus Thomas, chief of the FBI's Cyber Technology Section at Quantico, said Carnivore represents the bureau's effort to keep abreast of rapid changes in Internet communications while still meeting the rigid demands of federal wiretapping statutes. "This is just a very specialized sniffer," he said. He also noted that criminal and civil penalties prohibit the bureau from placing unauthorized wiretaps,

Bush to the NAACP: "There is no escaping the reality that the party of Lincoln has not always carried the mantle of Lincoln." ABC's Dean Reynolds added: "Bush is associated in this community with his proposed tax cut that many see as benefitting the rich." 2) ABC's Jack Ford condemned the pharmaceutical industry for "making enormous profits" while people die from AIDS: "The terms 'greedy,' 'insensitive,' 'uncaring,' 'inhumane' have all been used by critics to describe the pharmaceutical companies." 3) Jeff Greenfield's greatest worry in life: "We are the most wealthy country like ever in the history of the universe and we have, we don't have, we don't have a decent rail system." 4) The Mad Mayberrys. Friday night only the Fox News Channel bothered to update viewers on how the Mayberrys, the family renting the run-down house from Al Gore, gave up on him and moved to Ohio after he failed to fulfill his promised repairs. 5) Even Boston liberals agree with columnist Jeff Jacoby's reaction to his suspension by the Boston Globe: "This suspension is a brutal overreaction to something that even the Globe will not call plagiarism and doesn't characterize as a willful violation." Now online for your viewing pleasure or pain: A clip of the June 28 Dateline NBC piece by Keith Morrison in which he previewed the wonderful opportunities and benefits for Elian in Cuba. A few excerpts: "Cardenas boasts twice as many doctors as you'd expect to find in an American city the same size. Elian is more likely to become a healthy adult in Cuba than in any other Third World country. Housing? Even the government admits it's inadequate. Most apartments and houses are old and small and often crowded with whole extended families, but no one is homeless. Certainly not Elian, who will return to a house and bedroom considered swank by Cardenas standards "Elian will almost certainly rejoin the Pioneers as almost all Cuban children do. It's very much like the Cub Scouts, camping trips and all, but with a socialist flavor and a revolutionary spin. But besides politics, what will he learn? Cubans boast about their universal free education" To watch a portion of this story via RealPlayer, go to: http://www.mediaresearch.org/news/cyberalert/2000/cyb2630.html#3 Correction: The June 30 CyberAlert Extra twice quoted Bryant Gumbel, in an interview about the Supreme Court's partial-birth abortion decision, asking about "DNX and DNE procedures." That should have read DX and DE. 1) "Bush's speech here today was, in many ways, a political act of contrition," ABC's Dean Reynolds declared on Monday's World News Tonight in a piece on George W. Bush's speech before the NAACP convention in Baltimore. Like NBC Nightly News in a brief snippet shown by Tom Brokaw, ABC played a soundbite of Bush conceding, "For my party, there is no escaping the reality that the party of Lincoln has not always carried the mantle of Lincoln." Reynolds piled on: "Bush is associated in this community with his proposed tax cut that many see as benefitting the rich and with a death penalty that disproportionately punishes black people." The CBS Evening News also delivered a full story, but avoided using the soundbite of Bush bashing his own party. Anchor Peter Jennings introduced the July 10 report from Reynolds: "For many years, Republicans conceded that a majority of black Americans identify with Democrats, but Mr. Bush this week is promoting the notion that he's a 'compassionate conservative.' He's done so before." Reynolds began, as transcribed by MRC analyst Brad Wilmouth: "George W. Bush came to Baltimore to get black Americans to give his candidacy a chance, to underline his insistence that he's a different kind of Republican, and to show middle-of-the-road voters, both white and black, that he is more moderate than they may have suspected. Among blacks, Bush has his work cut out for him." Reverend Harold Carter, New Shiloh Baptist Church: "If he thought that we could turn the tide, he would more than want our votes. At this point, I think he wants to be
