[CTRL] Election Fraud Indicated; Tie Too Improbable; Coup d'Etat in delegitimizing stage

Suddenly Dade County -- another impossibility -- has exclusive power over the election outcome -- ties of a few hundred out of tens of millions MUST BE EXPOSED BY PROBABILITY THEORISTS FOR WHAT IT IS: ELECTION FRAUD AND A COUP D'ETAT. Like rolling all sevens with six hundred-sided dice. No way. It is a Clinton coup. The only way Clinton retains retains office in is through a "politically" unresolved tie. We knew the election-processing computers wer vulnerable, but we did not anticipate this kind of power play. Too many thousand-to-one-shots -- statistically impossible. The role of Dade County is also too suspicious, too improbable. Janet Reno--with Cuba-China-drug-ties hales from Dade County; her leniency as prosecutor there made Dade a druglords haven of rest. It is a totally corrupt environment political power (however earnest and innocent the Florida election people we see are -- it was the computers that were rigged.) The recount data is fed into a Cray computer which calculates the sum. You've heard of garbage in garbage out. Well this is good data in processed by garbage software means garbage out. Again Clinton has devil's "luck?" Remember: The only way Clinton stays in is through an unresolved tie. Suddenly Dade County -- another impossibility -- has exclusive power over the election outcome -- ties of a few hundred out of tens of millions MUST BE EXPOSED BY PROBABILITY THEORISTS FOR WHAT IT IS: ELECTION FRAUD AND A COUP D'ETAT..

George W. Bush and his advisers said today that they were moving forward with preparations for a new administration and beseeched Vice President Al Gore not to stand in their way, cautioning that legal challenges to the election could yield wrangling without end. Although they acknowledged that there were absentee ballots in Florida still to be tallied, they said that a nearly complete recount of the overwhelming majority of votes demonstrated that Mr. Bush had won both the state and the presidency, though barely. "The vote here in Florida was very close, but when it was counted Governor Bush was the winner," Mr. Bush's chief representative in Florida, James A. Baker III, said at a news conference today. "For the good of the country and for the sake of our standing in the world, the campaigning should end and the business of an orderly transition should begin," Mr. Baker, a former secretary of state, said. The latest results from Tuesday's election continued to show Mr. Gore with a lead in the nationwide popular vote, by a margin of 218,441 votes. But in Florida, whose 25 electoral votes hold the key to the outcome, Mr. Bush led by 327 votes, according to the latest unofficial tally of votes that were recounted over the past few days. In their comments today, Mr. Bush and his aides tailored their words and actions to underscore the assertion that Mr. Bush had, essentially, won the election by winning Florida. When Mr. Bush spoke briefly with reporters at the governor's mansion here this afternoon, the placement of his chair and the tableau of advisers around him evoked a meeting in the Oval Office. "It's in our country's best interest that we plan in a responsible way for a possible administration," said Mr. Bush, making his first public comments in more than 48 hours. The strain of one of the strangest weeks in the history of American politics was obvious in his eyes, which looked tired, and his speech, which was halting and faint. "I am mindful that there are still votes to be counted," he added, referring to the absentee ballots, which the Bush campaign believes will strongly favor the Texas governor. But, Mr. Bush said, "I think it's up to us to prepare the groundwork for an administration that will be ready to function on Day One." Sitting near him were Dick Cheney, his would-be vice president, and Andrew Card, the likely chief of staff in a Bush White House. Both men were scheduled to meet with Mr. Bush at his ranch near Waco this weekend. As Mr. Bush took a tentative half- step toward the presidency, his advisers and the vice president's aides battled over the propriety of the manual recounts of votes in several Florida counties that were set to begin tomorrow. "The more often ballots are recounted, especially by hand, the more likely it is that human errors, like lost ballots and other risks, will be introduced," Mr. Baker said. "This frustrates the very reason why we have moved from hand counting to machine counting." According to several Republican officials, the Bush campaign was considering the possibility of seeking a legal injunction against the recounts, but campaign officials had not reached a decision late tonight. The State of Florida has already conducted a mechanical recount of votes, and the Bush and Gore campaigns

[CTRL] Press Bias Clouds Election Reporting
-Caveat Lector- http://insightmag.com/archive/200012053.shtml 12/04/2000 the last word By Paul M. Rodriguez, Managing Editor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Press Bias Clouds Election Reporting It has come down to this: In the face of a potential constitutional crisis, press bias has fanned the flames of American discontent with the electoral process. Beyond the double-whammy mistakes on election night involving Florida, causing voters already in line to walk away, the press has compounded its blunders with shameful bias by reporting the results there out of context. No sooner was the election over than Democrats began hooting and hollering and getting massive press play concerning alleged irregularities in Florida that included Palm Beach Countys screwy butterfly ballots, designed and approved by Democrats on the model of those used in Chicago! Yet, as the stories continue to cascade, if this is mentioned it is done only as an afterthought and with a discernable disdain for Republicans who point it out. Then theres the issue of voters who screwed up the ballots. The way the television mavens tell it, the alleged confusion is an outrage and Democrats have been wronged. But when Republicans respond with the facts that in previous elections similar numbers of ballots have been thrown out for precisely the same human errors, it gets nary a mention, let alone explanation in context. Now what about Missouri? By law no dead person can be considered for public office, yet hardly a mention has been made of how Democrats insisted on proceeding with the election of the deceased Mel Carnahan under a legal theory that would allow his widow to be appointed to fill his seat. Sure, incumbent Sen. John Ashcroft has said he wont bring a legal challenge, but there are Republicans aplenty who are madder than hell about it. Why has hardly a word about this cruel trickery appeared in the general press? And what about the estimated 1 million voter-identification cards mailed out to immigrants in this country in predominately Hispanic areas (see Chicanery Roils Election 2000, p. 26.)? Wheres the outrage by the press at this White House-sponsored shenanigan inviting voter fraud? Its okay to provide a constant drumbeat about the Florida mess but not to so much as mention the voter-card scam? As nearly as we can tell, the failure to report on the latter centers on a journalistic decision somewhere that exposure now would have no effect on the vote count between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Military personnel by the thousands also have complained that they did not receive ballots in a timely manner and/or never got them when requested. We suspect this would be a running news story if there were a hint or a whiff of possibility that absentee military ballots might favor Gore. But they dont, and hence theres neither daily coverage of the military absentee balloting nor so much as a sign of press outrage. We raise these issues not as political partisans but as loyalists to a strange notion that the role of the press is to report the news honestly, in context and without favor. Consider the polls: How many media stories created false impressions by suggesting that Gore was leading (or Bush was ahead) without ever pointing out that other polls gave far different results? Whats appalling is how media bias routinely skews the reporting of polling statistics and thus, we are told by experts, manipulates the body politic. There were stories aplenty we saw in big-city newspapers and on broadcast news that reported how the rich and powerful backed Bush. Yet stories on Gore supporters tended always to make it appear that, except for those crazy (but popular) actors in Hollywood, only the poor and the downtrodden backed the vice president. Then there was all of that worker support for Gore from the unions. But it turns out that more than one-third of the rank and file voted Republican. The tens of millions of dollars from union dues spent to promote Gore simply were bled off by fatly paid union bosses who often receive more than the so-called captains of industry. But routinely the press doesnt make such distinctions. And weve come to believe this is deliberate. For example: Reporting on rumors about alleged Bush drug use and, lately, his 1976 drunk-driving conviction, has been steadily and loudly heard. Yet concern about Gores illegal drug use allegedly even while a senator gets no play. Neither does Gores own White House e- mail scandal, detailed in Insight two weeks ago, not to mention new information that clearly raises issues of lying by the vice president and his staff (see E-Mail Paper Trail Leads to Gore, Nov. 20). We long have thought the fact that the majority of Americans eligible to vote do not cast ballots is a national scandal that reflects poorly on the character of our country. But whats worse is having a press which, while free, has

To get people to think that their votes are important and that THEY decide who is elected to office. This is not really a conspiracy specific to this case. The elites always want us to think that our personal vote is important ( even though it is not ) because they use these elections to make us feel that we are not REALLY living in an oligarchic Plutocracy, but a democracy where WE chose the leaders. This time, because of the HIGHLY UNUSUAL circumstances involved in this election, that is, the closeness of the race, the elites are simply exploiting the situation for propaganda. Hence, Clinton and others keep repeating that every vote counts, and we MUST believe it because here before our very eyes is the indisputable proof. BUT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. So they are simply drilling it into our heads so that we can feel important and continue voting in the future for candidates they hand pick for us to choose. Don't be fooled here. Your vote is only important because it hides the fact that American politics is highly controlled. But not by you. This is what passes for " consent of the governed." Joshua2 __ You are right on target with this. The build-up for the present situation started with the phony polls in the media leading up to the election. One day it would be Gore with the lead, next day it would be Bush. So the public expected a very close election. Now they are recounting, and then recounting the recount. Now we are hearing about "legal challenges". Now we are hearing about there may be recounts in other states. Now we are hearing about how the Electoral College should be abolished. Consider this. Last summer, Bill Clinton quietly put Janet Reno in charge of FEMA responses to domestic disturbances. Her appointment became effective October 1st. This position has always be held by the Secretary of Defenseuntil now. Reno's appointment to this position is really strange. The DoD is trained and equipped to respond to such situations. The paper pushers at the Dept. of Justice are not. Alsowhy would Clinton put Reno in this position when she, and the rest of his Administration is supposed to be leaving office in January? Why make an appointment which will only last for 3 months? If this election turmoil really gets ugly, we may learn the hard way why Clinton put Reno in charge of responding to domestic disturbancesbecause we may have some for her to respond to. And at Waco, Reno proved just how effective she can be at managing such situations.

-Caveat Lector- .. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related "conspiracy posts" at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: "Committee to Restore the Constitution" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Recipient List Suppressed: Subject: Misprision of Felony Date: Saturday, November 11, 2000 8:54 AM COLORADO STATE LAWMAKERS CHARGED WITH MISPRISION OF FELONY Committee to Restore the Constitution, Inc, dated 11 November 2000, mailed individually addressed letter to each Colorado State Senator and Representative at home address. Each is charged with `misprision of felony' for failure to enact corrective measures to `criminalize' the men and the system engaged in a conspiracy to overthrow the Constitution of the United States and erect a United Nations `world government' administration on ruins of the Republic. Text follows. ___ Previous letters and CRC Bulletins mailed to you have shown how usupers in Washington D.C. have assumed undelegated powers and are seeking to transfer further sovereign State powers to international organizations in violation of the Constitution of the United States. You have received drafts of how to apply State legislative action to stop these usurpations from destroying the provisions of the U. S. Constitution and the rights and liberties of the people of the State of Colorado. A CRC correspondent in Great Britain has produced documentation to show that similar moves in England by theMembers of the British Parliament constitute "Misprision of Treason" which is defined: "Failure by a person not actively involved in the commission of treason, felony or otherwise to prevent its commission or to report the crime to the proper authorities." WEBSTER'S ENCYCLOPEDIC, UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE The specific language of the United States Constitution might prevent "Misprision of Treason" from applying here because we are not formally at war. However, the other offenses listed in Webster's definition can also constitute a criminal offense under the name of "Misprision of Felony". The material already sent to you shows that you are the "proper authorities" to whom exposure of the usurpation of Colorado's State power is to be directed and who have the authority to stop the usurpations in Colorado by State legislation. These usurpations in Washington reflect a conspiracy to overthrow the Constitution of the United States and the State of Colorado and erect a United Nations World Government Administration on ruins of the American Republic. You have received evidence on adoption of "United Nations Charter 99, A Charter for Global Democracy" at the United Nations Millennium Assembly, New York City, 5-9 September 2000, and introduction at this Assembly of a "World Charter" designed to reduce Americans and their descendants to the status of landless serfs in a United Nations World Government controlled by alien administrators. You have received Constitution-inspired procedures and implementing format to apply the authority of the State in correcting violations of the Constitution and providing criminal sanctions for the guilty. These State legislative measures will put down the sedition against the lawful government of Colorado that is being furthered by the usurpers.

Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com Sat, 11 Nov 2000 Robert Parry ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) As courageous Democrats like Bill Bradley are urging Al Gore to do the bend-over thing "for the good of the country," it reminds me how important the bipartisan cover-ups of the various Republican October Surprises were: 1968 (the Paris peace talks), 1980 (the Iranian hostages) and 1992 (the Passport files, which hurt but did not destroy the Clinton candidacy). Each time, the Democrats knew the truth but chose to keep quiet or acquiesce to false history "for the good of the country." Yet all we're hearing about now is how Nixon was a "patriot" for having accepted the election results in 1960. Part of our lost history also is that Nixon planned his own 1960 October Surprise, the ouster or assassination of Fidel Castro but it didn't pan out. Then, he was faced with the reality that regardless of the shenanigans in Illinois and Texas, Kennedy had won the popular vote. The situation is not at all comparable to today. Yet, here come the weenie Democrats again, not to mention the Jeff Greenfield pundits who are so determined to protect the democratic process that they don't seem to care that the process is about to overturn the will of the American people. * Elena Goss Letter to MSNBC: - This is our future. This is not a game. This is not basketball or football where an unfair call from the ref can determine the outcome of the game. Where in the end people go home grumbling about the unfairness of it all but accepting the outcome nonetheless. This is a democracy. We cannot be expected to accept this outcome. We cannot be expected to grumble about this unfairness and move on. There should be no uncertainty, no unfairness in a democracy. It is clear that in this uncertain time, the only thing that will bring the American people certainty is a revote in Florida. A recount just isn't enough to restore America's confidence in our electoral process. If Florida's citizens do not get an opportunity to cast their votes for the real candidate of their choice, then at least half of America's population will be doubting the legitimacy of America's President for the next four years. Furthermore, if Republicans are so confident that Bush won the electoral vote in Florida, then they should not feel threatened at all by the prospect of a revote. If in fact Bush did win the electoral vote in Florida as Republicans wish to claim, then surly a revote would show this. Republicans need to give American citizens a bit more credit - no one is fooled by their attempts to sweep this issue under the rug. It is clear that Republicans fear the truth - the truth being that if the citizens of Florida are given the opportunity to cast their votes for the candidate of their choice, Gore will be victorious. Conservatives' calls for Gore to concede are off base and I believe unconstitutional. It is not Gore's place to concede. Neither Gore nor Bush get to decide by concession who will be the next president. It is the American people who decide who will be President and they decide with their votes. In this case, the votes have been tainted by ballots in Florida that are questionable at best and illegal at worst. Gore has a responsibility to the American people. It is his responsibility to hang in there until this election has been resolved in a fair, legitimate and legal way. And I can see no simpler way to resolve this issue than holding a revote in Florida. It is the only way to settle the issue once and for all. It is the only way that we can feel confident, no matter what the outcome, that our next President is the President of choice - the President that was elected fairly and legally. * Friday November 10 8:56 PM ET Palm Beach Readies for Hand Count of Ballots By David Lawsky WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - Palm Beach County prepared on Friday to recount a sample 4,100 ballots by hand on Saturday at the request of Democrats and over the objection of Republicans to provide a crucial piece in completing the U.S. presidential election puzzle. The Democrats sought a hand vote in order to get ``the most accurate count'' possible and in an effort to determine whether more Gore support might be drawn from thousands of ballots declared invalid after the initial machine count. Democrats say the number of invalid ballots was unusually high in the county this year, while Republicans say it was comparable to 1996. A Reuters computation showed ballots were invalidated at a 40 percent higher rate this year than in 1996,

A bizarre propaganda campaign sought to erase the most horrifying image of the intifada, that of Mohammed al-Durreh, a 12-year-old boy, first terrified and then dying in 40 minutes of Israeli gunfire. On October 23 the army's Gaza commander, Yom Tov Samia, supervised a re-enactment of the boy's death on September 29 outside the Israeli army command post at Netzarim junction. The aim was to pin the death on Palestinian gunmen. The event was organised by a maverick inventor, known to Israelis for his conspiracy theories about the 1995 assassination of their prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin. It involved the reconstruction of the bullet-scarred wall and concrete water butt where Mohammed and his father vainly sought shelter, later bulldozed by the army as a "security measure". But the attempt backfired. An embarrassed chief of staff, Lieutenant-General Shaul Mofaz, disowned the investigation, the newspaper Ha'aretz reported yesterday. Ophir Pines-Paz, an Israeli MP, said: "One gets the impression that instead of genuinely confronting this incident, the Israeli defence force has chosen to stage a fictitious re-enactment and cover up the incident by means of an inquiry with foregone conclusions and the sole purpose of which is to clear the IDF." Today the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, goes to Washington to urge President Clinton to support an international protection force for the West Bank and Gaza, and to stop Israel from turning its tanks and combat helicopters on his people. The Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, will oppose such a force when he meets Mr Clinton on Sunday. He is expected to claim that the Palestinians have failed to rein in protesters. Israel's propaganda campaign follows international demands that its soldiers be charged with war crimes against the Palestinians, about 175 of whom have been killed during recent weeks. Of these, more than 20 were less than 15 years old. However, the Palestinian Authority said yesterday it opposed a visit to the West Bank and Gaza by the UN human rights chief, Mary Robinson, because she also planned to meet Israeli rightwing leaders. Two more Palestinian teenagers were shot dead by Israeli soldiers in Gaza yesterday, when the army used tanks and live ammunition against protesters at the Karni border crossing. Their deaths follow the killing of a female Israeli customs officer near the Rafah border crossing with Egypt - the first attack claimed by the Fatah Uprising, a rogue group from Mr Arafat's political faction. With the violence unabated, Israel's military remains shaken by the attention given to Mohammed al-Durreh's death. "Often a popular demonstration becomes a firefight. This is how the Palestinians obtained the death of the child Mohammed al-Durreh who became the symbol of this intifada," said a senior Israeli intelligence official. He added: "The Palestinian Authority is exploiting his death in an almost sickening fashion." * TARGET Sweatshops Dec. 9: A Call to Action!

Posted By: Esclarmonde Date: Thursday, 9 November 2000, 11:45 a.m. In Response To: FEMA on the Brink (Esclarmonde) A Nation Divided (And a message to the Enemy Camp) By J.J. Johnson - Posted: 11.08.00 http://www.sierratimes.com/txt/arjj110800.htm If you're wondering what that upset feeling is in your stomach, you're not alone. In my opinion, this is the calm before the storm. Let November 7, 2000 be a redletter day, and a black mark on American history. The only winner of this election will be the truth; the truth that this nation is more polarized and divided than it has ever been. In other countries, it's at this point that the shooting starts and the blood begins to flow in the streets. Perhaps that explains that upset feeling in your stomach today. This is not to be interpreted to indicate that we advocate such actions, but if what I fear lies ahead, it's best that someone steps forward and explains to our posterity how and why we got to this crossroad in America. Regardless of the final result, America's choice will remain deadlocked. There will be no negotiating, as there is too much at stake. The party who is on the verge of losing all power in Washington DC has a track record of ill behavior in vote counting. There has also been a pattern for at least the last decade of violent death and destruction that takes place when their authority is threatened. For what it's worth, the so-called "exit poll data" is telling the world who is on which side in this conflict. Rural vs Urban, Young vs Old, Black vs White, Gentile vs non-gentile, etc. To put it simply: It's us against them. No one wants to admit it, no one wants to say it, but that's the way it is. According to the AP there was "... the results of the U.S. presidential race was a lesson in democracy's messy glory - or proof that the political system in the world's most powerful nation might just be in need of an overhaul." Well, to the rest of the world, the Associated Press may be right about that "overhaul." The last major overhaul of this type cost us about 600,000 lives back in the 19th century with primitive weaponry. The states where many people's ancestors fought and died for their beliefs in the Constitution led the battle of November 7, 2000 at the ballot box showing that no matter what happens, or what you hear on CNN, that battle is not over. In fact, the next phase of this battle has just begun. My prediction: This is GOING to get ugly. Let us now candidly state these facts to the world: We represent the side that has become the victim of "political correctness." We are those who have been called names for simply being who we are. We have been demonized for believing that this nation, and the way it governs, is based on certain principles. We are the ones who pay (by force) the majority of the taxes in this country. We are the ones who have placed the majority of our sons and daughters in harm's way in service of our nation. We have been all but banned from the major media, but they now know we exist. We watched as our basic freedoms were being stolen from us. We fought back. We fought hard. According to the rules that govern us, we believe we have made a major statement to the world via the ballot box. We have been under assault. We risk losing our right of free expression, our right to own property, our rights of self-defense and preservation, our right to be governed from our states rather than a federal bureaucracy, and soon, if we do not prevail, our right to adequate representation in our own government. Even our history and that of our ancestors is under attack. The democratic choice that has been made threatens to end (or at least halt) this downward slide. Our adversaries are on the verge of losing all the power they've held over us for the last 40 years. At this time it appears that our adversaries, like tyrants of the past, simply won't accept defeat and are preparing to take steps to take this fight to the next level. We are truly a Nation Divided. Citizens of the world, if our side loses this battle, many of us may not live to see what the outcome will be. We can safely predict that your nations will soon share the same attitude about this nation that many share today that it is run by a tyrant, or a beast. You will witness the military and economic power of this nation used against you at the will of a few, not the will of the people. You will be disarmed, disenfranchised, and taught to hate one another. You will be forced to believe that the U.S. Government, and not our Creator, is your caretaker and will demand complete control over your lives. We will be vanquished. It is for this reason, that we cannot we shall not surrender. We represent a people who believe in a Power Greater than Ourselves. Today, we live with an unsettling fear. Not a fear of what our adversaries will do, but fear of what we may

Orlin Grabbe/A - The View from Abroad Chinese Press Scoffs at US Prez Election If the dead can win an election, why can't the dead vote? BEIJING, Nov 11, 2000 -- (Agence France Presse) China's state-run English language newspaper scoffed at the U.S. electoral system, taking potshots at U.S. democracy in a commentary Saturday. "It is clear that the U.S. electoral system is not as fair and as perfect as the country boasts," the China Daily said in the signed commentary titled "Loopholes in U.S. electoral system." The Chinese government and Chinese-language state media have refrained from commenting on the still-undecided November 7 presidential election between Republican candidate George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore. As a recount was underway in the state of Florida where the vote was too close to call and allegations of election irregularities and threats of lawsuits swirled, the China Daily pointed out "flaws" in the U.S. electoral system. "The public's distrust of the system did not die down as the election proceeded, but heated up," it said. The commentary noted a lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County, Florida, by residents who complained local ballots were "deceptive, misleading and confusing." "Reports suggests that because of flaws in the ballot's design, people were confused about where to put their mark," the commentary said. "It seems this is an election smeared by stories of fraud and vote-rigging." Thousands of Florida voters have complained about a confusing ballot paper in the state, which they said led them to vote for the wrong person. The commentary also pointed out the odd case in the state of Missouri where a dead man won a seat in the Senate in a race coinciding with the presidential election. Former Governor Mel Carnahan died in a plane crash on October 16 -- too late for his name to be taken off the ballot. Unofficial results showed him narrowly defeating incumbent Senator John Ashcroft. Carnahan's widow, Jean Carnahan, had said earlier she would accept the post if her late husband, a Democrat, were to win and she were appointed. "The fact that a dead man can win a Senate seat throws the U.S. electoral system into question," the China Daily said. Beijing has strongly resented U.S. criticisms of the lack of democracy in China, treating it as arrogant preaching. The commentary is signed by a writer identified as Jin Zeqing, but his title and background were not given. No full result on the U.S. presidency is likely before November 17 -- when all the absentee ballots in Florida will be counted.

[CTRL] IS PRESIDENT CLINTON SANE? CAN WE TRUST HIM?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=5253 Rumor Mill News Read Only Forum IS PRESIDENT CLINTON SANE? CAN WE TRUST HIM? Posted By: RUMOR MILL NEWS Date: Thursday, 9 November 2000, 1:10 p.m. Several days ago, an RMNews Source contacted us and reminded us that Representative Tom Campbell once called President Clinton incapacitated and suggested he be removed using the 25th amendment. Representative Campbell called the President Crazy. At this precarious moment in our history, we need to reflect on what Tom Campbell and others have said about President Bill Clinton. If the men who have hurled these charges are correct, what could President Clinton be capable of doing if Vice President Gore refuses to concede the election? Would President Clinton refuse to step down? Would he start some kind of crisis which would allow him to invoke martial law, revoke the Constitution and stay President for life? The following is the first of several articles in which well known Clinton aides have alluded to his mental problems. ### Representative Tom Campbell (R) from San Jose, CA resigned his seat in the House of Representatives and declared his candidacy for Senate. His rival was Senator Diane Feinstein, the most popular Senator California has ever known. Why would a Congressman resign his seat in Congress to run for a seat he knew he could never win? An RMNews Source told Rumor Mill News that Representative Campbell was being punished by both the Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats are punishing him for insinuating that President Clinton is mentally incapacitated and should be removed using the 25th Amendment. Here is the story that Rumor Mill News published at the time Tom Campbell called the President incapacitated. To set the time frame -- this took place the day the House voted to impeach the President. The RMNews Source said he would find the Congressional Record from that day and sent it. Hopefully it will arrive today. ### Tom Campbell Calls Clinton Incapacitated and Wants Him Removed From Office Is Campbell Talking About the 25th Amendment? RMNews 12-19-98 This morning Speaker of the House designate, Bob Livingston stunned the nation by unexpectedly announcing his resignation on the floor of the House. While the nation was still reeling from Livingstons resignation, Representative Tom Campbell, (R) from San Jose California, called President Clinton "incapacitated". He said that the President has demonstrated his incapacitation through countless examples of not being able to understand what he has done. In other words, he cannot admit to himself that he lied. Campbell said that there are laws in place since 1968, which would allow Congress to remove a President who has been deemed incapacitated. Tom Campbell called for President Clinton to be removed due to "incapacitation". This sounds very much like the 25th Amendment. Was Representative Campbell calling for the removal of President Clinton due to mental incapacitation? Does Representative Campbell believe President Clinton is too emotionally unstable to be President? Is he asking Congress to remove President Clinton by using the 25th Amendment to the Constitution? In case you dont know what the 25th Amendment says, here it is: Article XXV (Ratified February 10, 1967) Section 1. In case of the removal of the President from efficacy or his death or resignation, the vice President shall become President. Sec. 2 Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress. Sec 3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties shall be discharged by the vice President as Acting President. Sec 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the power and duties of his office unless, the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other bodies as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of

News· Police find locked ballot box at Miami hotel Click to enlarge photo MIAMI (Reuters) - Miami police on Friday found a locked ballot box from the disputed Florida election at a downtown hotel, a police officer said on Saturday. Police Lt. Diego Ochoa was speaking at a town hall meeting called by the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) to hear testimony of alleged irregularities in the election. Florida's 25 electoral votes hold the key to Tuesday's election as neither candidate can reach the 270 votes required to win the keys to the White House without them. A recount was ordered when the state race became too close to call. Ochoa, a 26-year veteran of the police department, said he came forward with the consent of his commanding officer and arrangements were now under way for election officials to pick up the box. The ballot box was labelled "Number 541." It was locked and was sealed by police with evidence paper. "At the moment we don't know exactly what's in the box," the officer said.

[CTRL] The geek shall inherit the earth
-Caveat Lector- Click Here: A HREF="http://www.smh.com.au/news/0011/11/spectrum/spectrum2.html"The geek shall inherit the earth- s /A -SPECTRUM The geek shall inherit the earth Today's nerd or slacker has a mysterious way of turning into tomorrow's Bill Gates ensconsed in a $100 million house on Puget Sound. Guy Rundle envisions the new technocracy. Going on the fairly dependable rule that next year we will be reading what California read last year, the volume that all aspiring avatars of the new economy should get their hands on is, of course, Thorstein Veblen's The Engineers and the Price System. Don't be surprised if you can't find it aside from a small "sociological classics" reissue in the '80s, it has been out of print since the first decades of the 20th century, and is now circulating as cybersamizdat scanned-in copy zapped from one hand-held computer to another as an e-book. Which is sort of appropriate, given that the principal thesis of the work is that power in society will inevitably and totally flow to those who make the things on which it runs. That the work is archaic, simplistic, plain wrong and graced with more than a hint of totalitarianism has been no barrier to the epidemic spread of its key meme that engineers, software or otherwise, shall inherit the earth. No wonder dot-com CEOs are lapping it up with the enthusiasm of Jesus Christ reading a biography of John the Baptist. Until this unlikely revival of such an archaic tome the title alone is redolent of the concerns of the pre-World War I era, with its unstinting belief in the onward march of progress towards rationality Veblen's reputation rested almost entirely on his 1899 classic The Theory of the Leisure Class and its introduction of the concept of "conspicuous consumption" to thinking about contemporary life. Veblen was one of the first people to take the methods of anthropology that had been developed to study traditional societies and turn them on everyday life and values in contemporary society, and his assessment of the world of his time is scathing in the now-traditional manner. The success of the labour movement in raising wages and the falling costs of mass-produced consumption goods throughout the latter half of the 19th century made it possible for a significant number of people to spend money on non-necessary items for the first time in history. Knick-knacks, gewgaws, deluxe goods, doodads prosperity brought with it the creation of entire industries devoted to the manufacture of what we now call kitsch. It also promoted an equally vigorous cultural industry devoted to the denunciation of such, with artists, craftworkers, radicals and conservatives weighing in with assaults on the decadent, overloaded, sentimentalist nature of the furnishings, art and fashion. William Morris was so horrified by the dripping rococo and gilt excess of the products on display at London's 1851 Great Exhibition that he went off and founded the arts and crafts movement, and Ruskin, Pugin and countless others joined the fray on his side. By the 1880s it was taken as read that an artist of any calibre would be on the side of the angels promoting plain design and the virtues of craft and disdain for the products of industrial civilisation. It was Veblen's stroke of genius to recognise that the much-despised mass consumption was not conducted for the pleasure of the objects themselves, but purely to maintain status with other people who were consuming them. That is not to say that consumer objects had no content. The archetypal plaster ducks flying up the wall are a visual pun about perspective, but they are also about domesticity, reassuring people that they are indoors. Others have specific cultural roots the Cadillac could come only from America, the Tamagotchi from Japan. But as these objects accumulate, they lose their particular meaning, and people become caught in a cycle of consumption that occurs only because everyone else is consuming, with a consequent rise in dissatisfaction, until the latter emotion becomes dominant. Advertisers must then resort to ever more powerful illusion to encourage people to believe that the one product the palliative for one's jaded enthusiasms is just around the corner. Our world of Nike and Prozac is one that Veblen would have recognised immediately. Getting off the merry-go-round, Veblen believed, would require a return to the values of what he called "workmanship" a reorientation to the values of production and activity rather than consumption. That's where the engineers come in. As the world became steadily more reliant on machines, Veblen believed that the makers of such would eventually come to a sort of class consciousness about the social power they held. The big capitalists would eventually have no choice but to turn over control of the world to them because they would be the only ones who knew how it worked. The advent of such a technocracy would then usher in a
[CTRL] Unlikely Alliance Helped Build Economic Boom
-Caveat Lector- from: http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52899-2000Nov9.html Click Here: A HREF="http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52899-2000Nov9.html" Unlikely Alliance Helped Build Economic Boom (w /A - Unlikely Alliance Helped Build Economic Boom Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan speaks as President Clinton looks on. (AP) Printer-Friendly Version By Bob Woodward Sunday, November 12, 2000; Page W08 Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan jumped at the invitation to visit the man who would be the next president. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton had just won the election in November 1992, and he wanted to reach out to the powerful Fed chairman. So a month after the election Greenspan was asked to come to Little Rock. Greenspan, 66, had been chairman of the Fed for five years. A lifelong Republican, he had first been appointed by President Reagan in 1987. President Bush had reappointed him in 1991, even though Greenspan had had a very uneasy and contentious relationship with Bush's economic advisers. The chairman was determined to establish a good relationship with the new president, though Clinton was a Democrat. With a somewhat severe face, bespectacled, a bit hunched, narrow-eyed and pensive, Greenspan radiated gloom. He spoke in a gravelly monotone, often cloaking his thoughts in indirect constructions reflecting the economist's "on the one hand, on the other hand." It was almost as if his words were scouting parties, sent out less to convey than to probe and explore. On December 3, Greenspan took a commercial flight to Little Rock to meet with Clinton. As they talked alone in the governor's mansion, Greenspan found himself quite taken with the new young leader. Clinton was totally focused, as if he had no other care in the world and unlimited time. They ranged over topics from foreign policy to education, and Greenspan saw that Clinton's reputation as a policy junkie was richly deserved. The president-elect seemed not only engaged but engrossed. Greenspan saw an opening to give an economics lesson. The short-term interest rates that the Fed controlled were at 3 percent, as low as they could practically go in these economic conditions, he said. But the Fed could keep them there. The 10-year and longer rates were an unusual 3 to 4 percentage points higher than the short-term rate, at about 7 percent. The gap between the short-term rate and the long-term rate, Greenspan lectured, was an inflation premium being paid for one simple reason: The lenders of long-term money expected the federal deficit to continue to grow and explode. They had good reason, given the double-digit inflation of the late 1970s and the expanding budget deficits under Reagan. They demanded the premium because of the expectation of new inflation. The dollars they had invested would, in the future, be worth less and less. Perhaps no single overall economic event could do more to help the economy, businesses and society as a whole than a drop in long-term interest rates, Greenspan said. The Fed didn't control them the market did. But credible action to reduce the federal deficit would force long-term interest rates to drop, as the markets slowly moved away from the expectation of inflation, and could trigger a series of payoffs for the economy. Clinton was so sincere and attentive that Greenspan continued. He outlined a blueprint for economic recovery. Lower long-term rates would galvanize demand for new mortgages, refinancing at more favorable rates and more consumer loans. This would in turn result in increased consumer spending, which would expand the economy. As long-term rates dropped, investors would get less return on bonds and move into the stock market instead. The market would climb an additional payoff. The federal deficit was so high and cumulatively unstable, Greenspan said, that increased government spending to increase jobs in accordance with the traditional Keynesian model no longer worked. The economic growth from deficit reduction could actually increase employment a critical third payoff. Greenspan noted that the economy was rebounding from the brief recession of 1990-91, but there was no telling if it would last. As had happened in the past, the recovering economy could fall on its face. Getting the long rates down and keeping them down with a strong deficit-reduction program could sustain and increase economic growth even more than the conservative estimates that were circulating in the government or privately. This conversation continued for 2 1/2 hours. Greenspan had not intended to stay for lunch, but he did. From the beginning he sensed that Clinton was different from the four Republican presidents Greenspan had seen up close Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush. The chairman left the meeting thinking, Either this guy has a lot of the same views as I do, or he is the cleverest chameleon I have ever run into. On the five-hour trip back to Washington, Greenspan tried

Florida's having a recount of the recount. New Mexico's slipped back into the "too close to call" column. In Wisconsin and Iowa, the results may be challenged in court. As for Maine, like every other state in the most technologically sophisticated society on earth, it runs its elections like a Ladies' Aid Society rummage sale presided over by three arthritic grannies, but at least they've managed not to misplace the bits of paper, and they have a result: on Tuesday, voters in the Pine Tree State rejected a ballot initiative to legalise assisted suicide - which is bad news only because, in the event of Al Gore becoming President, I'd been planning to drive over and avail myself of the procedure. Meanwhile, this unprecedented constitutional crisis is beginning to look a lot like the last unprecedented constitutional crisis. Greg Craig is back on TV. He first showed up as the acceptable face of Bill Clinton's impeachment team, convincingly making the case that the President was telling the truth when he denied that he'd told the truth about whether he'd lied, and to suggest that he lied when he lied to the grand jury about lying in the civil deposition was quite simply untrue. After this triumph, he then turned up representing L'il Elian Gonzalez's dad. There are 193 million lawyers in America, but Greg gets all the good gigs. Now he's in Florida, fronting for all those simpletons too dim to fill in a straightforward ballot but apparently shrewd enough to keep his business card handy. No doubt they would have called him earlier but they were bewildered by the confusing amount of numbers on the telephone. Might be a class action suit there, too. How determined is Al Gore in this one last all-or-nothing grab? Very. On Thursday, campaign chairman Bill Daley made one of the most extraordinary statements in American political history: "If the will of the people is to prevail," he declared, "Al Gore should be awarded a victory in Florida and be our next President." Dissatisfied with the original count, and now apparently with the first recount, Daley - like Slobo or Ferdinand Marcos - is demanding that they keep counting till they get a result he'll accept. Anything else will be a travesty of a farrago. Outside in the streets, Jesse Jackson - pardon me, "the Reverend Jesse Jackson", as he's always styled on TV, though what with street demos and CNN appearances, he doesn't seem to have much time for ministering these days, except for his occasional sessions as "spiritual adviser" to Hillary and Chelsea Clinton - anyway, out in the streets, the Rev Jesse is leading the protesters in his latest rhyme: at the Democratic Convention, it was "More with Gore", which even the loyalest delegates seemed to think was a bit feeble; down in Palm Beach County, he's subtly reversed his jingle to "Gore got more" - as in votes. The Democrat's former Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, whose somnolent mien is assumed to be a sign of non-partisan elder statesmanship, is complaining of "voting irregularities". Not "fraud" or "malfeasance", which are legal concepts, but "irregularities", a sly term intentionally chosen for its elasticity. So far the only evidence of "irregularities" that the Gore team has offered is that some of their voters aren't up to voting - an inevitable by-product, one would have thought, of Democratic identity-group politics, where you round up your various clients and bus them to the polls en masse, only to find that more than a few are incapable of remembering their instructions. The Gore position is that the election must be decided by letting a few hundred morons vote and re-vote and re-re-vote until they manage to punch the right hole. Republicans may be "the stupid party" but at least the average conservative gun-nut can put a nice clean shot through the correct hole on his ballot from 200 yards. Nonetheless, an "Emergency Committee of Concerned Citizens 2000" has now been formed to take to the barricades, or at any rate to the telephone-sales department of The New York Times. In Friday's Times, their full-page ad declares: "There is good reason to believe that Vice-President Gore has been elected President by a clear constitutional majority of the popular vote and the Electoral College." Underneath the call for a re-vote in Palm Beach County are such distinguished names as Gloria Steinem, Robert DeNiro and Bianca Jagger, as well as Harold Evans, a British newspaper editor whom older readers may dimly recall

"Our Vote is that Next Tuesday, the US 'Electoral College' Declares One Party a Winner, and the Popular Vote Declares Another: Neither of Those Guys Deserve the Legitimacy of Both" -- The Narco News Bulletin November 4, 2000 Dear Colleagues, Starting with Mike Ruppert's superb story on "The Importance of Drug Money to the Campaign of Al Gore"... http://www.narconews.com/USDominican1.html ...it now touches upon us to further document the role of drug money specifically in the state of Florida in this election. I am convinced this recount business will drag on for weeks. It will continue until one candidate or the other publicly concedes. We are now investigating any and all narco-money connections to the Florida campaign. Election Fraud, in the Dominican Republic, in Mexico, in Colombia and elsewhere has always been exported from the US and its embassies. The current situation is unique because all eyes are upon the State of Florida, a state swimming in narco-money, where 99 percent of the dollar bills have traces of cocaine, a state that has far more money circulating than can possibly be documented from legal transactions, and the state that is the economic bridge to Latin America, through all the exiled oligarchies now in the Miami area (Cuban, Colombian, Venezuelan, etc.); the most corrupt and right-wing elements of the Southern part of the hemisphere. Where is Mannatt this week? Coelho? His daughter? The Texan narco-lawyers of Bush? My guess is that plenty of them are already in Florida pushing and pulling the vote count. We are looking to document their locations. Furthermore, there have been blatant election frauds in Florida, both in the Cuban exile community and in the 1986 gubernatorial election. We are building a dossier in the hopes of springing a "November Surprise" before the dust settles. Please send any and all links, leads and thoughts. And feel free to take off and run with any part of this yourselves. Time is too short to hoard information. A big part of Election Fraud is illegal money: millions in cash that are distributed on the streets, especially in urban areas, to "get out the vote." Any leads regarding this year's election?

"At the moment we don't know exactly what's in the box," the officer said. It was not clear how the box arrived at the hotel..." _ Perhaps it is because our national elections are held so close to Halloween and all of the "spirits" have not realized the party is overbut it is a well-known phenomenon that many dead people somehow rise from their graves and vote in our elections. Turns out that many of the people whom Jesse Jackson is saying were "disenfranchised because of their race" were black people trying to use the names and registrations of deceased white people. Some of these were turned away by workers at the polls who noticed the fraud. Well..any time now, I'm expecting the Gore camp to come up with the following argument: "If the dead can win an election, why can't the dead vote?" After all, in the state of Missouri a dead man won a seat in the Senate in a race coinciding with the presidential election. If a dead former Governor (Mel Carnahan) can win an election, it seems only fair that the dead should be allowed to vote.

[CTRL] Crime, the world's biggest free enterprise - THICK AS THIEVES
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zmag.org/crimeandcapital.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.zmag.org/crimeandcapital.htm"Crime/A - Crime, the world's biggest free enterprise THICK AS THIEVES LE MONDE DIPLOMATIQUE April 2000 http://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/en/2000/04/05debrie By allowing capital to flow unchecked from one end of the world to the other, globalisation and abandon of sovereignty have together fostered the explosive growth of an outlaw financial market. Indeed the engine of capitalist expansion is now oiled by the profits of serious crime. From time to time something is done to give the impression of waging war on the rapidly expanding banking and tax havens. If governments really wanted to, they could right this overnight. But though there are calls for zero tolerance of petty crime and unemployment, nothing is being done about the big money crimes. By CHRISTIAN de BRIE Financial crime is becoming less visible, periodically coming to light in one country or another in the guise of scandals involving companies, banks, political parties, leaders, cartels, mafias. This flood of illicit transactions - offences under national law or international agreements - has come to be portrayed just as accidental malfunctions of free market economics and democracy that can be put right by something called "good governance". But the reality is quite different. It is a coherent system closely linked to the expansion of modern capitalism and based on an association of three partners: governments, transnational corporations and mafias. Business is business: financial crime is first and foremost a market, thriving and structured, ruled by supply and demand. Big business complicity and political laisser faire is the only way that large-scale organized crime can launder and recycle the fabulous proceeds of its activities. And the transnationals need the support of governments and the neutrality of the regulatory authorities in order to consolidate their positions, increase their profits, withstand or crush the competition, pull off the "deal of the century" and finance their illicit operations. Politicians are directly involved and their ability to intervene depends on the backing and the funding that keep them in power. This collusion of interests is an essential part of the world economy, the oil that keeps the wheels of capitalism turning. Three factors have combined to improve the workings of capitalism. The end of the 1980s saw the complete liberalisation of capital movements, taking them beyond national or international control. Then the revolution in communications technology accelerated the expansion of financial transactions. Finally, tax havens, that planetary archipelago of centres specialising in the tolerance of financial crime, became more "reliable". Revolution, said Mao Zedong, is not a dinner party. Neither is competition. It has little to do with the tournaments of gallant knights celebrated by the troubadours of the free market, where by the grace of God the best always wins - the best product or the best service at the best price. As in feudal combat, if you want to win the economic war, anything goes - and the dirtier the better. The arsenal is well supplied with weapons: restrictive practices, cartels, abuse of dominant position, dumping, forced sales, insider dealing and speculation, takeovers and dismembering of competitors, fraudulent balance sheets, rigging of accounts and transfer prices, the use of offshore subsidiaries and shell companies to avoid and evade tax, embezzlement of public funds, bogus contracts, corruption and backhanders, unjust enrichment and abuse of corporate assets, surveillance and spying, blackmail and betrayal, disregard for regulations on employment rights and trade union freedoms, health and safety, social security, pollution and the environment (1). Not to mention what goes on in the world's growing number of free zones, including those in Europe and in France, where the ordinary rule of law does not apply, especially in social, tax and financial matters (2). Such goings on can be found in all major sectors and on all markets: arms, oil, public works, civil aviation, air, rail and sea transport, telecommunications, banking and insurance, chemicals and food, to name but a few. They result in massive misappropriations of funds which disappear from the transnationals' bona fide accounts only to resurface in some tax haven. An incredible plunder, the full extent of which will never be known. All this would be impossible without the power of the state and international and regional organizations, especially their ability to keep restrictive regulations to a minimum, to abolish or override such rules as do exist, to paralyse inquiries and investigations or put them off indefinitely, and to reduce or grant amnesty from any penalties. In exchange, they offer to "fund democracy" by
[CTRL] Crime, the World's Biggest Free Enterprise
-Caveat Lector- Click Here: A HREF="http://www.globalpolicy.org/nations/corrupt/dereg.htm" Nations and States/A - Crime, the World's Biggest Free Enterprise By Jean De Maillard * Le Monde Diplomatique April 2000 By linking scarcity to price, the universal gospel of liberal thought teaches that exploiting scarcity is the fountain of all wealth. It follows that the foundation of any righteous economy is the market players' ability to get hold of the scarce commodities that will make them rich. But what is scarce in a world where the development of new technologies makes distance a thing of the past and "niches" of scarcity in the tightest nooks and crannies accessible for exploitation? This new ability raises an important question: is it really right to produce particular goods or services and trade in them? The free marketeers tend to forget that, while the laws of the market do entail a degree of self-regulation, this does not mean that society has no right, through its elected representatives, to set the rules of the game and say what may be traded and what may not. Without that, the only law that remains is the law of the jungle where man is reduced to an object that can be turned into money and marketed at will. Sadly, the deregulation that is so much a feature of today's globalisation has not learned any of this. Quite the reverse, it has opened up a new market on a planetary scale, the depths of which have hardly yet been plumbed and which people would rather not admit exists. It is in fact the dark side of economic and financial globalisation, the constant reminder of a truth the horrors of which people would prefer to conceal. It is the market in law, exploited by crime. Since crime is a phenomenon inseparable from any human community, every society, therefore, not only has the crimes it deserves, but also those that resemble it and make it what it is. A global society claiming to be built on the ruins of national laws without trying to rebuild social standards on another level, changes the agora into a vast bazaar where even governments rush to sell their regulations to the highest bidder. The scarce thing is not, of course, crime, but what it exploits: the law, which three developments have transformed into a market. First of all, countries have opened their borders wider to criminal trades more than to any other kind. Doubtless they had little choice, since the real pioneers of globalisation, the 1960s drugs traffickers, obviously did not ask anyone's permission before organising trade in the world's most expensive and profitable commodity on a global scale. But history is not without its irony, as the American authorities have found to their cost. Worried about the revival of the heroin market in the early 1970s, which they blamed entirely on French chemists and traffickers, they demanded that the government of the day root out the famous French Connection, then based in Marseilles, which it did. But the only concrete result of its elimination was to encourage secondary outbreaks all over the world, as trafficking was taken over by the Sicilian and North American mafias. The networks' centre of gravity then shifted to the United States, that great trading nation and apologist of free trade. The rest we know. What are we to learn from this? Crime has become one of the most flourishing economic activities, run by professionals who have taken on board all the rules of modern management. Capable of a flexibility unmatched in the formal economy, they are able to exploit all the scarce resources offered by economic, political and social instability anywhere in the world. They have made it the substance of their activity and the source of their tremendous profits. If we were asked for a brief definition of today's serious crime, it is the ability to take advantage of the differentials produced by the deficiencies in political, economic and social regulation anywhere in the world and at any time. An exodus of refugees fleeing a war-torn country is held to ransom by the mafia-organised clandestine emigration networks. A country whose underprivileged resort to the synthetic paradise of drugs for a few moments' oblivion makes its thousands and millions of addicts easy prey for the world's fortune hunters. What country is not so affected? A country where the gap between rich and poor and social disparities are so great that the most wretched have only their bodies to sell is swooped upon by networks of traffickers doing a most profitable trade in human beings, be they women, children, workers or sources of organs for transplant. The list of social ills has become endless. Some societies are rich but have their poor to exploit; others are poor, but have their rich to exploit them, poverty having become the choice raw material with which to manufacture a commodity made valuable by society's taboos. Because they are banned by laws they are powerless to enforce. The two other

January 24, 2000 Safevote Discusses Security of Internet Voting with White Houses E-Commerce Group WASHINGTON D.C. -- Representatives of Safevote, Inc. met last week with President Bill Clintons E-Commerce Working Group, at the White House. Safevote, Inc., of San Rafael, Calif., highlighted the differences between e-commerce and the ability to vote over the Internet, while also announcing its initiative to lead the industry sector to form an Internet voting technology alliance, both as a call for furthering the discussion and for peer review of current technologies used for Internet voting. The ability to vote over the Internet presents an entirely different set of challenges than those presented by shopping or banking or even in proxy voting on the Internet, said Dr. Ed Gerck, vice president of technology for Safevote. "People not familiar both with Internet technology and with public elections might however believe that e-commerce solutions can be adapted to Internet voting. But that is far from true. Internet voting is dependent on voter anonymity, secret transactions, correctness for all transactions, and more. For example, in credit card transactions fraud is compensated by insurance. This situation is not acceptable in elections. Also, an auditor must be able to reproduce the results while ensuring equally the anonymity of the voter and the secrecy of the vote. The White Houses E-Commerce Working Group, overseen by Vice President Al Gore, was formed to advise President Clinton on matters affecting e-commerce, including Internet voting. In the United States, according to interviews with election officials conducted by Safevote, a single vote costs U.S. taxpayers between $1 and $7 -- in elections conducted primarily with paper ballots. Some jurisdictions throughout the country are considering a switch to electronic -- and ultimately, to Internet systems. When you are talking about an election, fraud cannot be handled in terms of statistical failure covered by insurance we need a much higher level of assurances and they need to be fail-safe, commented Kurt Neumann, newly appointed vice president of marketing for Safevote. Safevote technology for Internet voting is considered to be at the leading edge, employing multi-party decision systems. The technology provides a comprehensive framework for Internet decision-making with applications for voting, polling, public elections, bidding, consensus assessment and a variety of solutions.

January 20, 2000 Brazilian Internet Voting Vendor Signs Contract By Margret Johnston IDG News Service, Washington Bureau WASHINGTON (01/20/2000) - A Brazilian network security company with a decade-long relationship with the countrys election authority has signed a contract with the U.S. company Safevote Inc. that will give Brazilians their first opportunity to cast ballots over the Internet in this years federal election, the two companies said today. Safevote, of San Rafael, California, will provide software tools and protocols necessary to ensure that ballots cast over the Internet are secure, anonymous and authenticated, Kurt Neumann, vice president of marketing for Modulo Security Solutions, said after a symposium on the future of Internet voting sponsored by the Brookings Institution. In Brazil, where voting is mandatory, an estimated 90 million people are expected to vote [electronically] in the November elections for the Senate and the House of Representatives. That election will provide the first opportunity for Brazilians to cast ballots over the Internet. Initially, however, only about 200,000 absentee voters will be able to cast their ballots over the Internet at designated voting stations. This will be at embassies, schools and other polling stations where there will be a means of authenticating and monitoring the process, Neumann said. Youll have a lot of the same things you have with current system, the difference is the votes will be transmitted over the Internet. Brazil this year will spend about US$200 million on expanding its electronic voting system, including the purchase of 300,000 PCs, Neumann said. All the machines are equipped with a network port, which will make it possible for them to connect to the Internet in the future, he said. Though Internet voting will be limited to absentee ballots this year, the technology Brazil

http://www.mcg.org.br/eg.htm Edgardo Gerck, Dr. rer.nat., M. Sc., Electronic Engineer. Ed Gerck has been at the forefront of developments in Internet security, with five recent patents filed on Internet voting. He received his doctorate in physics (Dr.rer.nat.) from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet and the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Quantenoptik in Munich, Germany, in 1983, with maximum thesis grade (sehr gut). He has worked in cryptography since 1987. Dr. Gerck is the founder of the Meta-Certificate Group (MCG), chief executive officer and vice-president of technology of Safevote, Inc., and chairman of the board of the Internet Voting Technology Alliance (IVTA) of Washington, D.C. Ed Gerck was appointed in 1999 to the NSI's RAB -- Registry Advisory Board of Network Solutions, Inc., Herndon, VA, US, and currently serves in advisory capacities with several companies. He has also developed methods for traceless laser erasing of conventional signatures on paper and other media as a proof of lack of security for conventional signatures, as well as methods for tamperproof laser signature of documents and parts, with key-, date-and context-dependent signatures. Documents with more than 400 pages have been laser signed, all pages at once. He has developed a new laser stereolithographic thermal technique to build accurate 3D models, a new low-cost tactile display for the vision-impaired, a new air-gap monitoring device for large electric rotating machines (patented, 50% with ASEA BROWN BOVERI), a new method of high-precision laser cutting with position feedback called geometric superpulse, new software and methods to create large (30 meters) and precise (1 mm) 3D structures by laser lamination, a new method to measure profile depth by laser photo-thermolectric effect, and other developments in the area of material processing, lasers and precise control software. His frequent cooperation work at various Internet fora, such as e-carm, ssl-talk, ssl, cert-talk, dig-sig, sci.crypt, itanet, SEIS, ssl-users, dig-cert, mcg-talk, trust-ref, seguranca, etc. has resulted in leading Internet discussions on issues of security and privacy in networks of networks. He has done and coordinated the development of software since 1972, in languages such as FORTRAN, ALGOL, BASIC, x86/x87 Assembler, Pascal, C, C++, Java, Perl, PHP and others, for DOS, Windows and Unix platforms. He has authored more than one hundred technical papers, published in international journals, seminar proceedings, research reports and patents. He has also published hundreds of Internet reports, papers, expositions and drafts, favoring the Internet as a research tool. One of his Internet papers, "Overview of Certification Systems: X.509,CA, PGP and SKIP" [http://www.thebell.net/papers/certover.pdf] was downloaded more than 65,000 times in its first year and is a standard Internet reference on these subjects. His paper "Toward Real-World Models of Trust: Reliance on Received Information" [http://www.mcg.org.br/trustdef.htm] has been cited in books, thesis and is a standard reference on the subject of trust -- from security systems and communication processes to social relationships. Dr. Gerck's most recent papers on security are available at the MCG site, at [http://www.mcg.org.br/papers.htm] and also at The Bell [http://www.thebell.net], a newsletter on privacy and security technology in Internet voting. His current work is centered on the frontier aspects of cryptography, information security and information theory for networks of networks or internets. In particular, he frequently makes the point that: (i) not only the Internet itself but also traditional commerce, e-commerce, management structures, etc. can all be recognized as internets and, (ii) their use can be bridged by a common approach, which is an abstract model for internet communication systems. "Coherence" emerges as the basic property of such systems and leads to real-world based but formal concepts of trust, information, meaning, identification, authentication, non-repudiation, privacy, security, etc. which are used to define a communication theory for internets, valid for any networks of networks. In his "bottom-up" approach, security is not an added-on property to information but itself part of the communication model for internets. This goes beyond the current technology used in X.509, PKIX, S/MIME, SSL and PGP to provide information security to networks, which is based on the use of authorization lists, encryption and digital signatures. In fact, Dr. Gerck believes that mistaking the Internet for a network is a basic security flaw in such protocols but one which is unseen today though its effects pervade the Internet. Dr. Gercks work in information security gained worldwide momentum in 1997 when he began to use the Internet to publicly discuss his "bottom-up" approach to the entire subject of PKI and Internet security, already including some prototypes and
[CTRL] Russia prepares for a Bush presidency
The Russia JournalNovember 11-17, 2000 Russia prepares for a Bush presidencyBy EKATERINA LARINAThe neck-and-neck and still-undecided U.S. presidential election may haveAmericans on edge and the rest of the world totally baffled, but politicaldiscussions in Russia during the week focused on the implications of aGeorge W. Bush presidency."A Bush victory would be positive for Russia," said Vyacheslav Nikonov, thepresident of Fond Politika. "For us, despite the Republicans' morethreatening rhetoric, things were always better with the Republicans thanwith the Democrats."Many others agreed, saying that Russia might have warmer personal feelingsfor Democratic contender and current Vice President Al Gore, but they thinkthat nonetheless, Bush could actually prove a better partner in gettingthings done around the world."Detente began when [Richard] Nixon was in power; the Cold War ended while[Ronald] Reagan was president; and START-2 was signed while George Bush Sr.was president," Nikonov said, referring to three other Republicanpresidents."But it was under [Harry] Truman that the Cold War began; the Cuban missilecrisis took place during [John F.] Kennedy's time; and the [Bill] Clintonpresidency saw an eight-year long worsening in Russian-American relations,"he added, naming off three Democratic leaders.Russian observers are unanimous in saying that a Republican administrationwould be less inclined than a Democratic one to meddle in Russia's domesticaffairs. The experts welcome even the fact that the Republicans would makemore demanding and pragmatic partners, saying that this would do more tohelp the Russians bring order to their affairs than the Democrats' abstractrhetoric."The harsher the demands on us, the quicker we'll understand that there isno easy road and that we have to work hard to hold on to our place underthe sun," said Fyodor Shelov-Kovedyayev, who was a first deputy foreignminister in the early 1990s. "There's an old German proverb that goes:'Sometimes, to take a step forward, all you need is a kick in the backside.'"Shelov-Kovedyayev has worked with both the Bush Sr. and Clintonadministrations. He said that the Republicans make a point of standing upfor issues they consider part of U.S. national interests, but at the sametime, they know how to respect the clearly motivated interests of theirpartners."If we have a clearly thought out and formulated national interest, whichwe can explain and justify, the Republicans will show respect for our pointof view," said Shelov-Kovedyayev. "With the Democrats, we would see a moreabstract approach, more humanitarian rhetoric and so on."Nikonov thought the Republicans could have more freedom than the Democratsin their relations with Russia. Firstly, because they wouldn't have to fearbeing accused of betraying national interests, and secondly, because thereare a number of moments that cast a shadow over Russia's cooperation withthe Democrats."The Republicans have a clear pro-American policy and are not afraid to beaccused of betraying national interests," he said. "At the same time,paradoxical as it may seem, it is the Democratic establishment that countsamong its ranks the greatest number of people from Eastern Europe, who havea whole range of prejudices. Most Republicans, meanwhile, are Anglo-Saxonsand don't feel any genetic complex toward Russia."Even Russia's Communists, who by definition are on the left of thepolitical spectrum, feel more sympathy for Bush Jr. and would rather see aRepublican administration in the United States, according to observers."The Republicans always followed a more balanced, conservative policy withregard to Russia, and unlike the Democrats, didn't try to meddle in ourdomestic affairs," said Andrei Andreyev, a spokesman for the State Duma'sCommunists. "As for the fact that the Republicans won't be lenient when itcomes to debts and loans, it's high time we learned to live according toour means."In his statements on the U.S. elections, President Vladimir Putin wascareful not to show outward sympathy for either one or other of thecandidates. Speaking to journalists in Rostov-on-Don, he said only that theUnited States "is one of our most important partners, and we have thereforeexamined carefully the programs of both candidates. [Both programs] speakclearly of developing relations with Russia, and this approach suits us."Other officials have also kept to a carefully neutral position."I can't add anything to what the president said," said Security Councilspokesman Vladimir Nikanorov. "We respect the choice of the American peopleand will work with the president they elect."Kremlin spokespeople repeated the official line that Russia can't andshouldn't comment on the choice of the American people. They also tookpleasure in repeating the joke that, facing the problem of having torecount votes in Florida, the Americans turned to Russian electoralofficials for help. The

To Dawnstar, Around 1971 Peter Dale Scott tried to publish information concerning these individuals and was prevented from doing so. Contact him for the details. Ling Temco Vaught benefited financially from the war. D.H. Byrd bought a very large position in LTV just prior to the assasination. Byrd started the Louisiana Civil Air Patrol where David Ferrie trained Lee Harvey Oswald and Barry Seal. Malcolm Wallace had no business being at the school book depository. The only link between him and Byrd is that he was an employee of Byrds good friend and fellow Knight James Ling (a personal friend of my family when I was a child.

Minutes into their flight they change their plan and head to Love Field (home of Southwest Airlines) While D.H. Byrd was from a wealthy family and many of his friends and coinvestors in LTV were very wealthy such as Troy Post, I still consider these individuals to not have been the prime motivators of the assasination. J.F.K.s father Joe was also a Knight of Malta. I think Jacks early Catechism lessons stuck too well. He knew what the CIA was all about. He knew what the war was all about and he knew what the Federal Reserve really was. I have a U.S. note which Jack had printed by the U.S. Congress. He was paying off the U.S. debt and was in the process of planning the demise of the Federal Reserve. He was in the process of investigating and castrating the C.I.A. and he was getting us out of Vietnam.

You asked who's doing something about it. We live in a fascist state with out a free press where whistleblowers go to prison, where friends of Mr. Quig who fail to stop writing about the blond ghost when told to, die quickly, where journalists like Danny Cassolaro are killed for learning the wrong things and you want to know who is doing something about it. You know that no matter what evidence any of us have we will never be discussing these things on the nightly news. You know that Texas will never have a real investigation into the Murder of J.F.K. I know for a fact that the hearings in the 70's (house sub committee on political assainations) had individuals on the committee who could not seem to hold onto important evidence. Eventually it became obvious that this was a clean up crew responsible for finding evidence and then losing it. Some of this evidence has been found again by Danial Hopsicker and by a close friend of mine. There appears nothing that we can do other than to teach our friends and families and to avoid the traps set by these forces. It is the nature of man that these forces will always be with us.

PHOTO GALLERIES EIGHT YEARS AGO, at the request of the Colombian government, U.S. military and spy forces helped fund and guide a massive manhunt that ended with the killing of Pablo Escobar, the richest cocaine trafficker in the world. While portraying the pursuit of Escobar as essentially a Colombian operation, the United States secretly spent millions of dollars and committed elite soldiers, law enforcement agents and the military's most sophisticated electronic eavesdropping unit to the chase. The full extent of the U.S. role has never before been made public. Details of the 15-month operation, which began during the administration of President George Bush and continued under President Clinton, are revealed in a serial beginning in The Inquirer today. A two-year Inquirer investigation has found that: The Army's top secret counterterrorism unit, Delta Force, along with a clandestine Army electronic surveillance team, tracked the movements of Escobar and his associates and helped plan raids by a special Colombian polic e unit called the Search Bloc. The former American ambassador to Colombia directed the U.S. effort with assistance from agents of the CIA, FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, and National Security Agency. Midway through the operation, the Search Bloc began collaborating with vigilantes, who assassinated Escobar's associates and relatives. U.S. soldiers and agents said they witnessed the cooperation. The United States continued to supply intelligence, training and planning to the Search Bloc even as the assassinations continued. In November 1993, Pentagon officials sought to end U.S. involvement in the manhunt. They were concerned that American forces in Colombia were going beyond their instructions and possibly violating a presidential directive prohibiting American involvement in assassinations of foreign citizens. The campaign to withdraw the U.S. personnel was stalled by a lobbying effort led by the American ambassador in Bogota. Five weeks later, Escobar was killed by Colombian police. Official accounts at the time said Escobar, 44, was killed Dec. 2, 1993, in a gun battle on a rooftop in the city of Medellin. Autopsy reports and photos reveal that he was shot point-blank in the ear. A senior Colombian National Police commander said Escobar was executed by a member of the Search Bloc after being wounded. The Colombian government had said its aim was to arrest Escobar, an indicted criminal. The mission to track down Escobar rid Colombia of a violent menace who threatened to topple the state. Escobar had terrorized his country beginning in 1984 - assassinating judges, police officers, journalists and politicians. Much of the violence was meant to coerce the Colombian government to ban extradition of drug traffickers to the United States. Escobar was believed to have ordered the killings of three of the five candidates for president of Colombia in 1989. But eliminating Escobar did nothing to stem the flow of cocaine to the United States, and may have inadvertently contributed to the formation of "super ca rtels" - alliances among guerrillas, growers, paramilitaries and traffickers that today threaten the government of Colombia. Those alliances are one target of the $1.3 billion in U.S. anti-narcotics aid to Colombia this year, which includes 300 American troops training Colombian security forces. American involvement in the hunt for Escobar began in 1989, when President Bush authorized a secret military effort to help Colombia track down leaders of the Medellin cocaine cartel. Its code name was Heavy Shadow. Centra Spike, a top-secret Army unit that specialized in tracking people by monitoring telephone and radio calls, was covertly sent to Colombia in August of that year. The sophisticated surveillance helped chase Escobar into hiding and a life on the run. He surrendered to Colombian authorities in 1991 after negotiating a deal that allowed him to live with his closest associates in a comfortable "prison" built for him in his hometown of Envigado, near Medellin. Escobar fled the prison on July 22, 1992, when Colombian authorities tried to move him to a real prison. After he disappeared, Colombian President Cesar Gaviria asked the United States to expand its assistance. Bush authorized the clandestine deployment of Delta Force and other U.S. personnel, and the multimillion-dollar effort continued during the Clinton administration until Escobar's death. Public statements by U.S. officials during the manhunt acknowledged that American forces had helped train the Colombian Search Bloc. But American

Busby was eager to make an example of Escobar. (Akira Suwa / Inquirer) PHOTO GALLERIES Morris D. Busby, the U.S. ambassador to Colombia, was awakened by two phone calls early Wednesday, July 22, 1992, at a house in Chevy Chase, Md., where he and his wife were staying with friends. The first call was to inform him that Colombian President Cesar Gaviria had finally decided to move the drug outlaw Pablo Escobar to a new prison, something Busby had been urging for more than a year. Shortly after that call came another, telling him that Escobar had somehow escaped through an entire brigade of the Colombian army. The ambassador had spent too much time in Colombia to be surprised. He cut his vacation short and, within hours, flew back to Bogota. Busby believed this bad turn of events for Colombia might be just the break he needed. Ever since he had been assigned to the embassy in Bogota the previous year, handpicked for the assignment in large part because it had become so dangerous, Busby had been eager to make an example of Escobar, but was frustrated by the drug boss' deal with the government. The most notorious drug trafficker in the world had been perched on a spectacular Andes mountaintop, running his cocaine business surrounded and protected by the Colombian army. Current estimates were that 70 to 80 tons of cocaine were being shipped from Colombia to the United States every month, and Escobar controlled the bulk of it. Inside his custom prison, Escobar lived like a sultan. There were parties with gourmet food and booze, beauty queens and whores. There were drugs, water beds and elaborate sound systems. Escobar ran his narcotics empire by phone. He ordered the murders of anyone who crossed him - including four of Escobar's onetime associates who were tortured and killed inside prison walls - according to one account, hung upside down and bled like steers. At the presidential palace in Bogota the day of Escobar's escape, Busby found President Gaviria pacing in his office with fury. Gaviria had been up all night receiving one outrageous report after another: No assault had been made on the prison during daylight, despite Gaviria's orders. His vice minister of justice and his Bureau of Prisons chief had gone in themselves without authorization to talk with Escobar, and both had been taken hostage. And, finally, the worst of all scenarios had played out: Escobar had vanished. It had taken more than two years, hundreds of lives, and hundreds of millions of dollars - much of it from U.S. covert funds - to hound the murderous drug billionaire into his surrender. Now, in one night, it had all come undone. Waiting with Busby through the president's lamentations were Joe Toft, the flinty Drug Enforcement Administration office chief, and Bill Wagner, the "political secretary" who was in fact Bogota's CIA station chief. "An entire brigade!" Gaviria shouted in amazement. "And the general allows two officials inside the prison to talk to him! For what? To notify him that he was going to be taken? What did he expect would happen? Such a stupid thing! I mean, such a stupid thing!" Gaviria was fed up. For many long months, he had resisted the entreaties of the U.S. government. He had tried to control Escobar on his own. Now everything had changed. The time had come, he had decided, to call in the Americans. The agreement that had landed Escobar in his prison suite at La Cathedral the year before was a masterpiece of duplicity. A man with the blood of thousands on his hands was allowed to plead guilty to having introduced his cousin to a man who had arranged a single drug shipment overseas. Escobar was to serve a prison term and emerge a free man, all sins forgiven. The length of the term was undetermined because prosecutors were allowed to add new charges if they obtained evidence of further crimes - not likely, for witnesses against Escobar typically were either bribed or murdered. In return, the government agreed not to extradite Escobar to the United States. Everyone knew La Cathedral was no prison. Escobar had paid to have it built on the site of one of his favorite resort hideaways near Medellin. His fellow prisoners were his cronies. He exercised a commanding influence over the local government of Envigado, where it was built, and Medellin, the booming northern city that was the base of his drug empire. In its eagerness to strike a deal with Escobar, Bogota had ceded virtually all authority for the "prison" to these locals. La Cathedral was legally a state within a state. The national police, who had lost hundreds of officers to Escobar's assassins, were forbidden to come within 12 miles of the

Forbes Magazine in 1989 listed him as the seventh-richest man in the world. A small-time gangster and car thief from Medellin, the second-largest city in Colombia, Escobar violently consolidated the cocaine industry there in the late 1970s. Elected as an alternate to Colombia's Congress in 1983, Escobar enjoyed widespread popularity among the poor in Colombia, especially in his home state of Antioquia. He turned his violent methods against the state in 1984, when Colombia began cracking down on the cocaine exporters and extraditing them to the United States for trial. His campaign of murder, kidnapping, bombing and bribery from then until his death in 1993 forced a constitutional crisis in Colombia. He cowed the government into banning extradition, and his murder campaign against judges and prosecutors so intimidated the nation that it abandoned trial by jury and began appointing anonymous, "faceless" judges to prosecute crimes. At the height of his power in the late 1980s, Escobar and his Medellin drug cartel controlled as much as 80 percent of the multibillion-dollar export of Colombian cocaine to the United States. Escobar was blamed for assassinating three of the five candidates for Colombian president in 1989, and for instigating a takeover of the Palace of Justice in Bogota in 1986. More than 90 people died in the subsequent siege, including 11 Supreme Court justices. When one of Escobar's bombs brought down an Avianca Airliner in Colombia in November 1989, killing 107 people, he became one of the most feared terrorists in the world. Men working for Escobar were caught that same year trying to buy Stinger antiaircraft missiles in Miami. A heavy pot-smoker, Escobar cultivated a relaxed, informal style with his friends and associates, but he was so vicious to his enemies that he was feared by everyone. In his battle with Colombian police, he placed a bounty on the head of officers in Medellin, paying higher rewards for killing those of greater rank. By the time of his death at age 44, Dec. 2, 1993, Escobar was considered responsible for thousands of deaths in Colombia, yet he was mourned publicly by large crowds in his home city. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

-Caveat Lector- November 12, 2000 Cole Inquiry Provokes Bitter U.S. Dispute http://www.nytimes.com/2000/11/12/world/12SHIP.html Louis J. Freeh of the F.B.I. is involved in a dispute over the Cole. http://graphics.nytimes.com/images/2000/11/12/world/12ship.1.jpg By JOHN F. BURNS SANA, Yemen, Nov. 11 A month after the bombing of the destroyer Cole, a bitter dispute has erupted within the Clinton Administration over whether to accept Yemeni limits on the American investigation here or press for a wider ranging inquiry that F.B.I. officials believe could potentially lead to powerful people linked to the Yemeni government itself, American officials on both sides of the dispute say. The dispute has become so heated, according to officials in Washington, that it has featured sometimes personal exchanges between leading American officials on opposing sides. Two of the principal figures in the dispute, with sharply conflicting views, according to those officials, have been Louis J. Freeh, the F.B.I. director, and Barbara K. Bodine, the American ambassador to Yemen. According to a report this week in Al Hayat, an Arab-language newspaper published in London whose reports have accurately prefigured many disclosures in the Cole case so far, the F.B.I. wanted the American Embassy in Yemen to demand that the Yemeni investigation be extended to "social, political and military figures" with close ties to the Yemeni government. The State Department has resisted, American officials say, for fear of alienating Yemeni government officials and souring the atmosphere surrounding the investigation still further, and because of a reluctance to upset an already delicate, strategic relationship with Yemen. The Al Hayat account was indirectly confirmed by an F.B.I. official, who said a critical aspect of the case whether the bombers had help from powerful figures within Yemen and if so to what extent was difficult, if not impossible, to determine as long as the Yemeni government decided exclusively whom to detain and interview. Asked about the issue, a senior State Department official in Washington refused to comment, but said it was true that the inquiry needed to go beyond "the first and second levels," meaning who was immediately responsible for the attack, "all the way back to the spider in the web." Despite the strains, senior American and Yemeni officials said in recent days that the dispute over Yemeni limits on the F.B.I. investigation was close to being resolved after weeks of confrontations between senior officials of the two governments. The deal now being worked out, both governments say, would allow the F.B.I. close access to suspects for the first time by permitting its agents to watch Yemeni interrogators by live television relay or through a one-way mirror, and to pass written questions to the Yemenis. The F.B.I. has reacted coolly to the deal, partly because decisions on whom should be questioned would remain exclusively with the Yemenis. But by Friday the dispute appeared to be cooling, with F.B.I. officials saying that the Yemenis, under criticism for their seemingly reluctant cooperation so far, had handed over a large file of transcripts from interviews in the case, and that those, and other new evidence, included valuable details that should help move the investigation forward. On the Yemeni side, the American- educated prime minister, Abdel Karim al-Iryani, said today that American officials were no longer "making an issue" over access to suspects, having accepted that Yemen was doing its best to solve the case and that nobody in the government of President Ali Abdullah Saleh was involved. On the contrary, Mr. Iryani said, whoever planned the bombing intended to damage Mr. Saleh and his government's ties with the United States. "We are not hiding anything, and the Americans have accepted that," he said. Still, the new terms for the F.B.I. role appear to fall far short of the free-ranging role the bureau demanded and the State Department vetoed in an internal dispute in Washington. The dispute, American officials say, drew in Mr. Freeh, the F.B.I. director, Ms. Bodine, the ambassador, and the White House. Moreover, American officials say, the new arrangements could still fall apart over Yemeni counterdemands for access to information on the bombing that the F.B.I. gathers outside Yemen. The issue, the State Department official said, was whether getting to the people ultimately responsible for the attack, in Yemen or elsewhere, would be more likely to be accomplished by accepting restraints on the F.B.I. that respected Yemeni sensitivities about its sovereignty, or by pressing for much wider access that would alienate President Saleh and other powerful figures in Yemen, and perhaps cause them to become even less cooperative. The State Department official was scathing about the F.B.I.'s demands, saying the bureau lacked experience operating in countries with sharply different cultures,

(Physics Today November 2000) 2. EARTH SCIENCES: ON THE PERIODICITY OF THE ICE AGES In an extensive review, it is suggested the most viable hypotheses for the cause of glacial/interglacial carbon dioxide change involve the extraction of carbon from the surface ocean by biological production, either at low or high latitudes, necessarily allied with changes in the marine calcium carbonate budget. (Nature 19 Oct 00 407:859) 3. PLANETARY SCIENCE: EVIDENCE SUPPORTING POSSIBILITY OF LOW-TEMPERATURE LIFE-BEARING METEORITES New observations suggest that major impact events are capable of moving rocks from the surface of Mars to the surface of Earth without subjecting them to temperatures high enough to cause thermal sterilization of eukarya or bacteria, and are considered to support the hypothesis that meteorites could transfer life between planets in the Solar System. (Science 27 Oct 00 290:791) 4. ORIGIN OF LIFE: ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS AS PREBIOTIC CHEMICAL REACTORS An analysis of the structure of ocean-based aerosols suggests that large populations of aerosol particles may have provided an environment for the concentration of prebiotic molecular species and for their chemical transformation.

[CTRL] WT: Stock markets dive on Democrats' vow
-Caveat Lector- November 10, 2000 Stock markets dive on Democrats' vow By Patrice Hill THE WASHINGTON TIMES Stocks plummeted yesterday as Democratic Party officials raised the specter of a prolonged legal battle over the outcome of the presidential race in Florida. The Dow Jones Industrial Average nose-dived to a 288-point loss and the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped to a 144-point loss as Vice President Al Gore's campaign chairman, William M. Daley, announced at an afternoon news conference that the campaign would back citizen lawsuits contesting the outcome of the Florida vote with the goal of proving that Mr. Gore won. The indexes recovered some by the end of trading, but analysts said that as long as the legal and political battle over the nation's highest office continues, it would be a major stumbling block for the markets. The Dow ended down 73 points at 10,834, and the Nasdaq ended down 31 points at 3,200. "The Gore campaign is saying we'll fight to the end now," said Tim Neumann, an investment manager at Chase Asset Management, predicting that the legal questions raised by the Democrats will take weeks to resolve. The principal issue raised by Mr. Daley was that the ballots used in Palm Beach County were confusing and caused the votes of more than 19,000 Florida residents to be disqualified because they mistakenly voted both for Mr. Gore and Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan. Aides to the Republican candidate, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, signaling their intent to counter the fight in the courts, maintained that double-voting is illegal everywhere and the votes were properly disqualified. They added that county residents voted heavily for Mr. Buchanan in previous primary elections. "Until the election result is resolved, we will have down days," said Robert Streed, a stock portfolio manager with Northern Trust Co. "This is a seasonally very strong period so if this election uncertainty wasn't there we'd be looking at a higher market. We'd be in the midst of our normal year-end rally." "There's two fears," said Arthur Hogan, chief market analyst for Jefferies Co., who said the market went briefly into a "free fall" during the Gore campaign's announcement. "First, the market absolutely abhors the unknown and that is what is going on. We have no idea how long and drawn out this election is going to be. Secondly, we continue to fear an economic slowdown and the impact of an economic slowdown on earnings and revenue growth," he said. The Bush aides suggested that the legal struggle might not only be prolonged but also widened to include contests over tight votes in other states. They said vote recounts may be ordered in Iowa and Wisconsin, where Mr. Gore won narrowly, and they have raised questions about the vote count in Albuquerque, N.M. New Mexico is another state that Mr. Gore barely won. "The markets hate the uncertainty about who's going to be the next president," said Tom Schrader, head of listed trading at Legg Mason Wood Walker Inc. in Baltimore. "Until it's decided, I don't see any" catalyst for stocks to go higher, he said. "Investors are telling me they want to lessen their exposure to stocks and have cash on the books." Greg Smith, chief strategist at Prudential Securities Inc. in New York, recommended yesterday that investors cut their stockholdings because of the massive uncertainty created by the unprecedented close race not only for the presidency but also for control of both houses of Congress. The schism in the political races suggests that the nation is in a state of fundamental disagreement over what to do with the federal budget surpluses and how heavily to regulate business, he said. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] On Palm Beach Confusion
-Caveat Lector- By http://www.davekopel.com/Dave Kopel of the http://independenceinstitute.org/Independence Institute The Palm Beach Legal Precedent No cause for Dem squawking According to some Florida Democrats, the particular layout of ballots in Palm Beach was confusing to voters, and resulted in mistaken votes for Buchanan which were actually intended for Gore. The Florida judiciary has already addressed the issue of post-election claims about ballot confusion, and the precedent is unfavorable to those who want the election overturned. In the September 10, 1974, Republican primary in Pinellas County, several losing candidates brought a post-election suit against county election officials. (Pinellas sits on the Gulf Coast, and includes St. Petersburg.) At issue was the longest ballot in Pinellas County history. To save space so that every candidate and issue could fit on the voting machine, the election officials had created a ballot on which the list of candidates for some offices appeared on two lines. In a particular race, for example, the first three candidates, listed alphabetically, appeared on one line, and the last two candidates, alphabetically, appeared on the next line. A lawsuit demanding a new election was filed by candidates who appeared on the lower line and lost. The Florida trial court agreed. But on October 15, 1974, the Second District Court of Appeal unanimously overturned the trial judge, and let the original election stand. (Nelson v. Robinson, 301 So.2d 508, Fla. Ct. App. 2d Dist., 1974.) The Court of Appeal explained: Keeping in mind that we are talking about a claim made after an election, and not one which may have been enforceable before, if a candidate appears on the ballot in such a position that he can be found by the voters upon a responsible study of the ballot, then such voters have been afforded a full, free and open opportunity to make their choice for or against that particular candidate; and the candidate himself has no constitutional right to a particular spot on the ballot which might make the voters' choice easier. His constitutional rights in the matter end when his name is placed on the ballot. Thereafter, the right is in the voters to have a fair and reasonable opportunity to find it; and as to this, it has been observed that the constitution intended that a voter search for the name of the candidate of his choice and to express his of the candidate of his choice without regard to others on the ballot. Furthermore, it assumes his ability to read and his intelligence to indicate his choice with the degree of care commensurate with the solemnity of the occasion. The Court of Appeal also cited a U.S. Supreme Court case in which the high Court explicitly and unanimously affirmed a Pennsylvania federal court which had ruled that an unfavorable location on the ballot was not a form of unconstitutional discrimination against a candidate. (http://laws.findlaw.com/us/397/147.htmlGilhool v. Chairman Com'rs., Philadelphia Co. Bd. of Elec., 306 F.Supp. 1202 (E.D.Pa.1969), aff'd 397 U.S. 147 (1970).) In Palm Beach this year, the ballot form was approved beforehand by Democratic Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore. This fact relates directly to the Florida Court of Appeal's point that "it has often been held that one who does not avail himself of the opportunity to object to irregularities in the ballot prior to the election may not object to them after." = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] How it's done: America...where anybody can become Predsident.
-Caveat Lector- Manufacturers Admit Voting Machines Unreliable "American elections are a fraud and a scam" is the stern verdict of Pat Buchanan and a deeply disturbing commentary on the state of democracy in America. Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT By Christopher Bollyn CHICAGODespite acknowledging "failure rates" ranging from 16 percent to 28 percent, election officials here express no concern for the integrity of the ballot in the age of voting machines. Across the United States, in precincts from coast to coast, computers equipped with cellular telephony and two-way mo dems count the votes. These ma chines, designed and operated by private companies, and the laws that ushered in their use, have essentially disenfranchised citizen election judges from the vote-counting process and relegated them to insignificant roles as public servants working for private business on election night. Some officials concerned with elections have pondered the unthinkable, namely, the stealing of a presidential election by computer fraud in the metropolitan areas of key states. Steve White, former assistant attorney general of California, said, "Given the importance of the national election, sooner or later it will be attempted. There is a real reluctance to concede the gravity of the problem." Every official interviewed at the Illinois State Board of Elections was indifferent to the threat of computer vote fraud. Rick Fulle, assistant director of voting systems and 25-year veteran of the board said, "You can't secure any computer system." A hand count of the votes by the election judges at the precinct level, before posting the results, is the only way to ensure that the machine tally is correct and that no computer fraud has been perpetrated. However, election officials discourage any manual audit saying that there are too many choices on the ballot and that a manual count would take too long. Tests of computer vote-counting systems used in Illinois from 1983-1987, which checked tens of thousands of ballots, revealed significant errors in the computer counting in more than 20 percent of the tests. Fulle said that in Illinois today there is "a 16 percent error rate" with ballot-counting machines. He expected numerous problems on election night saying "equipment will fail across the state." "I don't understand why nobody cares," Michael L. Harty, former Illinois director of voting systems and standards said. "At one point, we had tabulation errors in 28 percent of the systems tested, and nobody cared." Officials from the Illinois Board of Elections said election judges are only required to verify that the number of ballots tabulated by the machine matches the number of ballots counted by the judgesas if voters are only voting for one candidate. "Nothing in the [Illinois] law requires that the count be accurate," Fulle added. In this way the basic role of election judgesto count and verify the accuracy of the votehas been usurped and compromised by election machines operated by private companies. Whether it was the Precinct Ballot Counter 2100 (PBC), the Optech Eagle III, the Model 100 Optic Mark Reader (OMR), or the Votronic touch-screen system that counted your vote, these machines have something in common: they are all designed and operated by Elections Systems Software, Inc. (ESS). Each contains a two-way modem, allowing them to communicateand be communicated withwhile they are in operation. What is particularly troubling about these machines is the fact that they contain an internal modem, which enables anyone with a modem-equipped computer, from hackers and vendors to telephone company personnel and politicians, to access and alter the computer's tally of the votes. ESS is "the largest company in the world focusing solely
[CTRL] What Al Gore Really Did Invent
from: Eagle 1 [---snip---] This ingenious 1996 "voter mill" paid off big time. An audit by theaccounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick uncovered some of theresults. The newly naturalized citizens who were qualified to vote bythis Gore project included more than 75,000 who had arrest recordswhen they applied, an additional 115,000 citizens whose fingerprintswere unclassifiable for various technical reasons and were neverrechecked, and another 61,000 people who were given citizenshipwithout submitting any fingerprints at all. Federal law requires that an alien's application for citizenship mustbe accompanied by a complete set of fingerprints, which must becleared by the FBI to determine if the applicant has a criminal record. Schippers sent the FBI a list of 100 of these new citizens who hadcommitted documented heinous crimes prior to naturalization anddiscovered that 20 percent were arrested for serious crimes aftercitizenship was granted in 1996. No one knows how many thousandsof criminals were granted citizenship whose fingerprints were neverchecked at all. Crooked politicians have always stuffed the ballot box in traditionalways, but Al Gore must be given credit for one of the most ingenious.[---snip---] And did Al Gore hand them cigarettes as they entered the country, trading them for futurevotes???This whole thing becomes sicker and sicker as it goes along!!!eagle 1 - Original Message - From: "Eagle Forum" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 06, 2000 4:05 PM Subject: What Al Gore Really Did Invent (Oct. 2000 Phyllis Schlafly Report - part 3) What Al Gore Really Did Invent The claim that Al Gore invented the internet has been a favorite target of political jokes, but Al Gore's role in "reinventing" the INS is no laughing matter. He was a driving force behind the perversion of Immigration and Naturalization Service procedures in order to "invent" a million votes for Clinton-Gore in November 1996. Al Gore was the Administration's point man in charge of the plan developed in early 1996 to put a million aliens on the fast track to citizenship even if they didn't qualify and even if they had criminal records. Gore was responsible for keeping the pressure on INS to make sure the aliens were naturalized by September 1, the last day to register for the presidential election. INS Administrator Doris Meissner was at first reluctant to go along with these shenanigans. But she finally acquiesced in Gore's plan to remove alleged "bureaucratic roadblocks" to speedy naturalization. The "smoking gun" documentation came to light sort of as an aside in the new book Sellout by David P. Schippers, his own story as chief investigative counsel for the House impeachment of Bill Clinton. Before Schippers was ordered to limit his investigations to the Monica case, he had focused on the politicization of the INS. Schippers uncovered a memo written early in 1996 from Doug Farbrother of the National Performance Review (NPR) to Bill Clinton reminding the President that he had "asked us to expedite the naturalization of nearly a million legal aliens." Farbrother set forth the plan "to force some serious 'reinvention' on INS" by "appointing one of our proven NPR reinventors as Deputy INS Commissioner" and moving the existing Deputy elsewhere. The National Performance Review is now called Vice President Al Gore's National Partnership for Reinventing Government, according to its website www.npr.gov. This confirms Gore's peculiar obsession with reinventing things. Dr. Elaine Kamarck in Gore's office responded to Farbrother on March 21, 1996 in a solid-cap memo: "THE PRESIDENT IS SICK OF THIS AND WANTS ACTION. IF NOTHING MOVES TODAY WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE SOME PRETTY DRASTIC MEASURES." A March 22 memo to Al Gore from Doug Farbrother then reported that he told INS "to waive stupid rules, move money from one account to another as needed, and recruit and hire people locally instead of through the slow centralized process." Farbrother added that each city manager in the major cities was to be given "a project budget to spend as needed." Farbrother's memo spelled out other details of the plan to circumvent customary procedure: "delegate hiring authority, waive extensive background investigations on new employees, allow the cities 'overhire authority.'" This carried out the suggestion originally made in a February 15 memo from HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros to Clinton and Gore suggesting the use of "volunteers" from Hispanic action groups to "process" naturalization applications. In a subsequent fax, Farbrother wrote that he had instructed INS Commissioner Doris Meissner to "get the results the Vice President wants." In a memo addressed to Al Gore on March 28, Farbrother restated the goal to "produce a million new citizens before election day." The game plan was to "blast INS headquarters loose from their grip on
Re: [CTRL] Just a little reminder about American democracy.
-Caveat Lector- It was intentionally not a democracy because the Founders were well aware that a "democracy" is merely a tyranny of the majority over the minority. J2 wrote: "What a bunch of crap. It was intentionally not a democracy because the Founding Finaglers knew that democracy meant the weakening of their oligarchy." What a thoughtless, foolish statement. These "democracy lovers", i.e. tyranny of the majority advocators, are ignorant of life's realities. Under "democracy", if the majority of Germans decided to kill all the Jews it would be "legal". It would be the "will of the people." Why it is preferable to be subjugated and victimized by the "majority" instead of being victimized by an oligarchy or dictatorship is beyond rational comprehension.

Don't let the politicians or the pundits deprive Florida residents of their voting rights and the rest of the country of our democratic process. Please do your part NOW to change the tone of the debate. Don't let the press spin this story to force a hasty solution. Any country can have a quick result. America is special because we believe in the rule of law and the protection of constitutional rights. Let's set an example for the world by proceeding in a patient and dignified way. Any party or politician that seeks to claim this election prematurely will have violated our trust and threatened the legitimacy of our government both domestically and internationally. It is our responsibility to hold them accountable because we will pay the price. Therefore, please do the following: 1) WRITE TO YOUR HOMETOWN PAPER (please see a sample op-ed piece below; feel free to use/edit any part of it for letters to the editor, etc.) 2) CALL IN TO TALK SHOWS where you live and in Florida. You can find out which staions there are by checking out www.broadcast.com . 3) SEND THIS AND OTHER E-MAILS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY. LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT A RUSH TO JUDGMENT BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE. FOLLOWING IS A STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES THAT WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO DISTRIBUTE TO FRIENDS AND/OR SUBSTANTIALLY EDIT AND SUBMIT TO THEIR LOCAL (HOMETOWN) PAPERS. DON'T DELAY: TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! == Voting Rights and Wrongs in Florida == Since Tuesday, many politicians and others have suggested that it is inappropriate for the results of the election in Florida to be subjected to a legal challenge. This attitude amounts to a fundamental assault on the Voting Rights Act and the right to vote guaranteed by state and federal constitutions. The right to vote is the underpinning of our society. As the Supreme Court has stated, "other rights, even the most basic, are illusory if the right to vote is undermined." Equally important is the ability to enforce this right to vote. During the civil rights movement, people struggled and died not only for the right to vote itself, but also for the right to pursue legal action if the vote was denied. What James Baker decries as "unending legal wrangling" is the enforcement mechanism of our Constitution. It is premature for either campaign to declare victory or concede defeat. It is neither up to Governor Bush nor Vice President Gore to concede defeat or assume victory until the choice of the people is clear. As the Florida Supreme Court has stated, "the real parties in interest" in a legal challenge to the results of an election "are the voters," not the candidates or their political parties. There is too much at stake to let this election pass without scrutinizing the many reports of problems in Florida: * Thousands of voters in Palm Beach County may have been effectively denied their right to vote due to an illegal and unnecessarily confusing ballot design. * Polls closed while people were still in line in Tampa. * Voters were denied ballots on grounds that their precinct had changed. * Some election officials refused to allow translators in voting booths for Haitian-Americans in Miami. * Hispanic voters in Osceola County alleged they were required to produce two kinds of identification when only one was required. * At least two absentee ballots have already been invalidated due to fraudulent submission, in what may be a statewide campaign of absentee voter fraud. Many have said that such "irregularities" exist in every election. Although that is unfortunately true, a systemic failure in our

Baker III The American people voted on November 7. Governor George W. Bush won 31 states with a total of 271 electoral votes. The vote in Florida was very close, but when it was counted, Governor Bush was the winner. Now, three days later, the vote in Florida has been recounted. Over two-thirds of the state election supervisors overseeing the recount are Democrats. At the end of this recount, Governor Bush is still the winner, subject only to counting the overseas ballots, which have traditionally favored the Republican candidate. No evidence of vote fraud either in the original vote or in the recount has been presented. Now the Gore campaign is calling for yet another recount in selective and predominantly Democratic counties where there were unexplained large vote swings in their favor in the recount. It appears that the Gore campaign is attempting to unduly prolong the country's national Presidential election through endless challenges to the results of the vote here in Florida. Furthermore, the more often ballots are recounted, especially by hand, the more likely it is that human errors, like lost ballots, and other risks, will be introduced. This frustrates the very reason why we have moved from hand counting to machine counting. Let me say a word specifically about the Palm Beach ballot. There is a rule of law to be followed for elections. The state of Florida has established legal procedures to design, approve, publish and, if need be, to protest ballots before the election. The ballot was designed by a Democratic elections supervisor. She approved it. The Democratic Party did not question it before the election. This "butterfly"-type ballot was used in recent elections in the same county under the same rules. Again, the Democrats did not complain. The overwhelming majority of voters who used the ballot understood it and cast valid votes. Our lawyers have confirmed the legality of this ballot, and we have copies of the relevant Florida statute available for you to see. The Gore campaign has also tried to make a lot of the fact that double marked ballots are not counted. A key principle in America is one person, one vote. If we have ballots with two votes, of course we cannot count them or guess about them. Ballots that are double-marked can't be evidence of the voter's intent to vote one way or another. No jurisdiction in the United States would accept such a ballot as a valid vote, and Florida law specifically does not. It happens in every precinct in every election. And the procedure is clear: These ballots must be disregarded. We understand, and I understand personally, that it is frustrating to lose by a narrow margin. But it happens. It happened to the Republican Presidential candidates in 1960 and 1976. Both Vice President Nixon and President Ford put the country's interest first. They accepted the vote for the good of the country. It is important that there be some finality to the election process. What if we insisted on recounts in other states that are very close? For example, in Wisconsin, Iowa, (and if we don't win) New Mexico. Let the country step back a moment, pause, and think about what's at stake. This may be the last chance. There is no reasonable end to this process if it slips away. The purpose of our national election is to establish a "Constitutional government," not unending legal wrangling. We will therefore vigorously oppose the Gore campaign's efforts to keep recounting until it likes the result. For the good of the country and the sake of our standing in the world, the campaigning should end, and the business of an orderly transition should begin. --- In Palm Beach, a Tidal Wave of Political Protest By Sue Anne Pressley

Dear Fellow Activist/Organization: Hi! I'm writing to you from Cincinnati, site of the upcoming Protests in Cincinnati, Ohio against the Trans Atlantic Business Dialogue. Cincinnati was picked because it is in the middle of the midwest, a conservative city, and is also a corporate town. Cincinnati houses the world headquarters for Proctor Gamble and Chiquita Banana, which are all very close to where the TABD summit will be held. There is also a GAP and Starbucks in the same building as the Omni Netherlands. There are several themes with which to protest corporate globalization while in Cincinnati. Gap (sweatshops/old growth forest issues); Starbucks (a living wage for coffee growers around the world!); Chiquita (worker's rights); Proctor and Gamble (Animal Rights). But, these aren't the only themes. US Corporate Globalization affects so many issues: economic justice, indigenous rights (U'wa/Zapatistas - NAFTA/FTAA/more), as a matter of fact, so many issues we individually work on are related to globalization. Please check http://www.n16.org/ for more information on CDAC's plans in November (includes housing, medical, carpool message board, TABD info, Art and Rev. and more). We hope you can make it to Cincinnati for N16. If your organization would like to endorse CDAC's (Cincinnati Direct Action Collective - N16) Call to Action please let us know by emailing your endorsement to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].

There is also another coalition organizing around the TABD and their webpage is http://www.che-2000.org/ DIRECT ACTION PROTEST AGAINST THE T.A.B.D. NOVEMBER 16 - 18 DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI OHIO OMNI NETHERLANDS HOTEL - 5th and Race St. November 16-18, the Trans Atlantic Business Dialogue (TABD) will be having their annual CEO conference in Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio at the Omni Netherlands Hotel. European Union Parliament, U.S. congress, and more than 200 American and European CEOs and business leaders will meet to talk about issues that impact transatlantic trade and develop recommendations on how to best boost global trade and investment. The T.A.B.D. makes recommendations that will set the tone for World Trade Organization policy. Over 50% of T.A.B.D. recommendations have been adopted for the WTO. One such corporation in attendance at the conference, BASF, whos plant in Cincinnati blew up in the early 1990s killing two workers, injuring many more and also caused millions of dollars in damage will help with these negotiations! The TABD claims to "offer an effective framework for enhanced Cooperation between the transatlantic business community and the governments of the EU and US. An informal process whereby European and American companies and business associations develop joint EU-US trade policy recommendations, working together with the European Commission and U.S. administration." It's plain to see that the Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue means more money and control in the pockets of top CEO and government officials so just like the WTO in Seattle and the IMF/World Bank in Washington DC demonstrations it is time to voice our opposition. Join together and publicize the disastrous effects of corporate globalization to people both outside and inside the United States. We need to converse to world economic and business leaders that we will not calmly tolerate labor and agricultural annihilation before our eyes. What is left before us, our only hope for a just and equal society, YOU! Start talking to within communities about organizing affinity groups to come and converge in Cincinnati Ohio November 15, 16, 17, 18 to make aware the growing nature of these undemocratic institutions.

Our convergence upon Cincinnati will be a symbol that we want to totally eradicate and abolish the injustice of global economic control by a few. No longer shall human life, animals and the environment be substituted for personal gain! Come be apart of mass demonstrations, direct action and civil disobedience to show the TABD that we will not tolerate their current policies of global takeover by institutions that cater profit before people. Without a peoples response to this matter we waive our right to practice the democratic process and put it into the T.A.B.D's hands. LETS! ORGANIZE! NOW! To subscribe to the

Not by a long shot. Psychotherapists around the country say if you're using these hallucinogenics as party drugs you're missing the point. As psychotherapeutic agents, many researchers say, they are an immensely valuable and untapped resource. Folks ranging from computer executives to elderly women to church leaders are participating in psychotherapy enhanced by psychedelics, typically thought of as party enhancers for teenagers or burn-outs. "It's one of the most fascinating things happening in psychology today," said a San Francisco clinical psychotherapist who asked to remain anonymous. "I have no question that in many ways it's much better psychotherapy than I could ever do by sitting and talking. But basically I don't choose to do that out of a fear of going to jail." Indeed, people who facilitate and participate in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy are an extremely underground and secretive bunch. The $350 to $400 sessions, mostly done in groups, are never advertised. It's strictly word of mouth. There are at least seven such therapy groups in the San Francisco Bay Area, and certainly plenty of others around the country, whose members risk jail time in order to, they say, explore the deepest crevasses of their minds. The legal risks are worth the insights gained, according one longtime client of the psychedelic sessions who asked to remain anonymous. "This kind of work goes to a much deeper level," she said. "You get a whole lot more than you would in a one-hour session with a therapist It reaches different transpersonal levels." They also say it's worth the possible health risks. The first study on methylenedioxymethamphetamine, or MDMA (better known as ecstasy), to show proof that MDMA dangerously depletes the brain of the mood-regulating hormone serotonin was published in Neurology in June. Federal research has found that other drugs used in these group therapies -- lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and ketamine (also called Special K) -- can result in confusion, memory loss, high blood pressure, delirium, psychosis, coma and even death. Dr. Lester Grinspoon, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School who sued the DEA when it declared ecstasy a schedule 1 controlled substance in 1985, said he doesn't quite trust studies performed by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. "The NIH is a wonderful institution as a whole and truly their interest is in science," Grinspoon said. "But the NIDA really lost its where science is concerned and has become a ministry of drug propaganda." Still, researchers outside the United States have come to similar conclusions. Dr. Andy Parrott, of the department of psychology at the University of East London, published a study in the medical journal Psychopharmacology showing that young, recreational ecstasy users had impaired memory function compared with non-user controls. "This drug should not be administered to humans, especially on a repeated basis," Parrott said. Nevertheless, many medical professionals and psychologists say the gains outweigh the risks. The longtime client mentioned above is also about to become a therapist herself. She has completed her master's degree in psychotherapy, and is in the process of completing 3,000 hours of a client-work internship necessary to become a licensed therapist. She has participated in about 12 psychedelic therapy sessions in the past two years. She said she has no fear of ill-effects from most of the drugs, although she favors more studies of ecstasy to determine the effects of its repeated use. "In terms of going into a psychotic state, that might happen when drugs are used in very careless way, such as without a group involved or as a party drug," she said. "(The group therapy) is very careful both in terms of dosage and of what they use for your particular issues." Responsible use of psychedelics, she said, means being sufficiently prepared for the session, having a guide on hand at all times and knowing how to "integrate" the experience afterward.

From their stylish home base in Vancouver's upscale suburb of Kitsilano, the Adbusters' brain trust has encouraged conscientious citizens worldwide to "relish [their] power as a consumer to change the economic environment." In their words, Buy Nothing Day "[p]roves how empowering it is to step out of the consumption stream for even a day." The geniuses at Adbusters have managed to create the perfect feel-good, liberal, middle-class activist non-happening. A day when the more money you make, the more influence you have (like every other day). A day which, by definition, is insulting to the millions of people worldwide who are too poor or marginalized to be considered "consumers." It's supposed to be a 24-hour moratorium on spending, but ends up being a moralistic false-debate about whether or not you should really buy that loaf of bread today or ... wait for it ... tomorrow! Well, this year, while the Adbusters cult enjoys yet another Buy Nothing Day, accompanied by their fancy posters, stickers, TV and radio advertisements and slick webpages, a few self-described anarcho-situationists from Montreal's East End are inaugurating Steal Something Day. Unlike Buy Nothing Day, when people are asked to "participate by not participating," Steal Something Day demands that we "participate by participating." Instead of downplaying or ignoring the capitalists, CEOs, landlords, small business tyrants, bosses, PR hacks, yuppies, media lapdogs, corporate bureaucrats, politicians and cops who are primarily responsible for misery and exploitation in this world, Steal Something Day demands that we steal from them, without discrimination. The Adbusters' intellegentsia tell us that they're neither "left nor right," and have proclaimed a non-ideological crusade against overconsumption. Steal Something Day, on the other hand, identifies with the historic and contemporary resistance against the causes of capitalist exploitation, not its symptoms. If you think overconsumption is scary, wait until you hear about capitalism and imperialism. Unlike the misplaced Buy Nothing Day notion of consumer empowerment, Steal Something Day promotes empowerment by urging us to collectively identify the greedy bastards who are actually responsible for promoting misery and boredom in this world. Instead of ignoring them, Steal Something Day encourages us to make their lives as uncomfortable as possible. As we like to say in Montreal: dranger les riches dans leurs niches! And remember, we're talking about stealing, not theft. Stealing is just. Theft is exploitative. Stealing is when you take a yuppie's BMW for a joyride, and crash into a parked Mercedes just for the hell of it. Theft is when you take candy from a baby's mouth. Stealing is the re-distribution of wealth from rich to poor Theft is making profits at the expense of the disadvantaged and the natural environment. Stealing is an unwritten a tax on the rich. Theft is taxing the poor to subsidize the rich. Stealing is nothing more than a tax on the rich. There is solidarity in stealing, but property is nothing but theft. So, don't pay for that corporate newspaper, but steal all of them from the box. Get some friends together and go on a "shoplifting "spree at the local chain supermarket or upscale mall. With an even larger mob, get together and steal from the local chain book or record store. Pilfer purses and wallets from easily identified yuppies and business persons. Skip out on rent. Get a credit card under a fake name and don't pay. Keep what you can use, and give away everything else in the spirit of mutual aid that is the hallmark of Steal Something Day.

Dear Mr. Bowden: I am the publisher of a small newsletter read by 13 members and the intelligence committees of both houses of Congress along with professors at eleven universities in the US and Canada. I will be lecturing at the USC School of International Relations on Dec. 8 and for the Latin Studies department of SDSU on Nov. 28th. Your story on Pablo Escobar, extremely well researched, does excellent justice to one aspect of the cartel's fate. But why have you failed to mention that Carlos Lehder has been out of prison since 1995 and living the life of Riley in Ecuador, Mexico, the Bahamas and the United States? I am in possession of USG and other docs verifying not only his release but his current status as an employee of the USG and I will be writing on this shortly. What also about the fact that, as reported by Reuters this summer, Bill Clinton in planning on releasing Manuel Noriega at 11:59 of his administration. I also believe that EO 12333 was signed by Ronald Reagan in early 1982, not by Richard Nixon. You really did a fine job on the historical events around Escobar's death but you left out who was masterminding the effort to "tear down the mountain" from underneath him.

A grass-roots effort promoted online lists the locations of the protests, ranging from the Civic Plaza in Albuquerque, N.M., to the Federal Building in Baltimore, Md., to New York's Times Square and downtown Madison, Wis. While local organizers of the rallies said they wouldn't speculate on expected turnout, they said the protests were just the beginning. Gov. George W. Bush is leading Vice President Al Gore by fewer than than 1,000 votes in Florida, according to a recount of votes in 66 of 67 counties. But Democrats are collecting affidavits about alleged problems with up to 20,000 votes that had been disqualified in the state, and are supporting legal challenges. If either Bush or Gore wins in Florida, the state's 25 electoral votes would make them president - as long as each man's current electoral count holds despite any challenges or recounts in other states. Gore won the nationwide popular vote, according to results tallied so far - some of them unofficial - while Bush is poised to win the Electoral College tally. Web Used To Organize While the administrators of the protest Web site, named "Countercoup," http://geocities.com/countercoup/ would not return repeated e-mails for information about what kind of organization it was, Bob Fertik, 43, of New York City, a spokesman for www.democrats.com, said he was familiar with the group, and called it a grass-roots effort. His organization also is using the Web to collect affidavits about possible ballot irregularities. The Democratic committee is not organizing these protests, Democrats' spokesmen said. Repeated calls to Portia Palmer, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Florida, for comment about the protests or whether the party was planning protests itself, were not returned. Pro-Republican protesters have been positioning themselves behind TV reporters, holding up signs that said things like "No Re- Vote, Gore Concede" and "Rule of Law: Bush-Cheney" Bill Stevenson, 44, of Tallahassee, Fla., a supporter of Green Party candidate Ralph Nader who has been following the e-mail string for organization of the demonstrations said he disagreed with the idea of the protests. "Rather than spending time protests, they should just give the system a chance to work," he said. Regardless of potential fallout, protesters are still planning to show up. Charlie Harger, 25, a computer consultant who lives in Jersey City, N.J. says he is going to Times Square on Saturday at 1 p.m. and hopes other people will be joining him. "I am getting friends involved to come to the protest," Harger said. "I believe there was an injustice in Florida and we have got to take a stand." Major Cities Targeted Andy Olsen, county supervisor for Dane County, Wis., and a Gore supporter, said he is helping to organize the rally on the capitol steps in Madison on Saturday. Scheduled to speak, he said, is Ed Garvey, former progressive Democratic gubernatorial candidate in the state, a representative from a local union, and others. "We are protesting the heist of the presidential election by the Bush brothers," Olsen said, referring to Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Texas Gov. George W. Bush. Olsen compared the underground protest effort in the United States to the elections in Yugoslavia, where the people took to the streets to make sure the democratically elected candidate took office. Chris Monelli, 22, a customer service manger at an Internet company, who is a Gore supporter, said he is going to Seattle Central Community College Saturday for a rally there and is calling for a revote in Palm Beach County. Monelli said it was important that whoever gets into the White House got there legitimately. "The way

Bush becomes our next president, as appears likely, it will prove once again that any product can be marketed. I learned this a couple of years ago when I found some potato chips in the local convenience store that were made with olestra. Olestra is a petroleum product-- that should have killed it right there. I mean, who wants to eat oil, the kind that comes out of an oil well in Saudi Arabia? It can't be digested. But the makers of this product were required to put a warning on the package: "This product contains olestra, which may cause anal leakage." Right there on the package! If they could sell this to millions of people, then-- with a few hundred million dollars for advertising-- George W. Bush was a piece of cake. For all his flaws, Mr. W. hasn't caused any anal leakage, at least as far as I know. Of course this election was Al Gore's to lose, and he blew it. Sitting on top of the nation's longest running economic expansion, unemployment at a thirty-year low, running against someone is not sure whether Social Security is a federal program-- the pundits surely have reason to shake their heads and sigh. Who was it that told Al Gore he couldn't campaign on the strength of the economy, because it was more important to distance himself from anything having to do with Bill Clinton? And they pay these people for their advice. Of course, the gains from this remarkable economic growth have yet to trickle down. Even during the current expansion, the typical wage has hardly grown at all-- about 0.3 percent a year since 1993. Tactical goofs aside, that is the heart of the Democrats' long-term problem: they have abandoned their base, and replaced it with a wad of corporate cash with which to purchase campaign commercials. Al Gore offered very little to the majority of voters, who have literally not shared in the gains from economic growth. Paying off the national debt over the next 12 years-- a policy that until recently was advocated only by politicians of the extreme right-- isn't going to do much of anything for anyone. So most of these voters stayed home, as they have been doing since President Clinton pushed NAFTA through Congress in 1993-- thereby giving us a Republican Congress. The WTO and its expansion this year to include China gave labor and its allies more reason not to vote. There are some bright spots on the electoral screen. If George W. Bush wins the electoral vote but Gore takes the popular vote, we may finally get rid of the electoral college-- an institution whose main reason for existence is its originators' fear of letting the people choose the President. Many people fear that gridlock will result from a Congress that is closely divided-- as well as a President who lost the popular vote. But gridlock is not so bad, if we look at the reality of American politics today. As might be expected after a $3 billion election extravaganza financed mainly by corporations and rich people, the leadership of both parties has no positive agenda. And they have a lot of harmful changes they want to make: on the Republican side, privatizing Social Security and cutting taxes for the richest people in the country.

Shooting Spree Suspect Says "Transmitter" Controls Her Associated Press - The Yuma Daily Sun, May 24, 1998 TUCSON - The 35 year old woman accused of going on a shooting rampage here said she did it because there is a transmitter in her ear and "people on satellites" told her to kill, a newspaper reported Saturday. Gracie M. Verduzco is charged with first degree murder and four counts of attempted murder in connection with a shooting rampage Thursday that left one man dead and four wounded. She has a history of mental illness. "The transmitter, it makes you. It controls your body," she told the Tucson Citizen in a jailhouse interview. Verduzco also said she is sure she was on drugs Thursday, but she doesn't know what kind. "I've been drugged up and on poison my whole life," she said from the Pima County jail. "Yeah, I think I had drugs in my body-- not of my own will." Verduzco, who lived with her brother in Tucson, said "people on satellites have been telling me to kill my family, kill my brother." Maxey Garcia, the woman's former stepfather, drove her to a downtown post office Thursday morning where she allegedly shot a man in the leg, police said. "I went to the post office; rented a post office box and shot at some people when I went outside," Verduzco said.

The real danger the American election poses is that it calls into question the legitimacy of the presidency. Since the president is the chief agent of U.S. foreign policy, this could destabilize the international system. The consequences are not trivial. Let us review how we got into this mess. As they have every four years for two centuries, the American people went to the polls on the first Tuesday in November to elect a president. Turnout was unexceptional. The campaign was neither the most rancorous nor the most enlightening. It took place in a time of relative peace and prosperity. Truth is, the candidates of the two major parties agreed on more things than they disagreed, leaving genuine divergence to the candidates of minor parties. As elections go, it just wasn't that important. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, or maybe by pure accident, the election turned out extraordinarily close to the point of statistical improbability. The popular vote almost evenly divided. Vice-President Al Gore appeared to lead by 200,000 votes out of about 100 million. We say appeared to because no one knows what the total would be in a national recount. Making a mistake of two- tenths of one percent is easy when you count 100 million ballots in a few hours. Nevertheless, it seems Gore won the popular vote. However, the popular vote does not elect the U.S. president. America's founders created a peculiar institution called the Electoral College. Voters do not vote directly for president but for electors real people nominated by parties. Whoever wins the popular vote within a state, with a few state exceptions, has his electors selected. They go through a process in December, cast their votes, which are then reported to the Senate in January, electing the president. The founders created the Electoral College primarily for two reasons. First, they distrusted the ordinary citizen to elect a president directly. Which is why they created this temporary council of elders who select the next president. Second, the founders understood the United States is a diverse land with varied interests and not a homogeneous entity. Certain groups are not very large but remain utterly essential to the nation. Consider farmers. They are vital out of proportion to their small numbers. If the political system responded only to size, it might completely ignore their interests. The Electoral College design forces national candidates to pay attention to farmers' interests because the farmers control at least some electoral votes. __ Would you like to subscribe to our new services for just $49.95 each year? http://www.stratfor.com/subscribe.html _ The system of state-based Electoral College forgetting the human electors for the moment also forces national candidates to break down their message to the state level and create a national political base from the parts. This has two effects. It forces national attention on matters of local importance in all parts of the country and selects presidents skilled at coalition building. So, the system has its uses. One of which was visible this week. If the popular vote counted, the country would now be going through a national recount, in which both sides would search for evidence of wrong doing everywhere. The events in West Palm Beach would repeat in every city, town and subdivision in the country. If you think the current situation is weird, imagine the United States undergoing a national orgy of recrimination. The electoral system has built in damage control, which the country badly needs right now. The statistical improbabilities in this election are amazing. Not only did the popular vote virtually tie, the electoral vote count through pure, unintended accident also equally divided. The entire election rested on the outcome of the vote in a single state, Florida, where the vote was amazingly close. But amazingly close is not the same thing as tied. On election night, Texas Governor George W. Bush won by less than 2,000 votes, percentage-wise on the order of the lead that Gore had in the national popular vote. But a win by a single vote constitutes a victory and determines the recipient of a state's electoral votes. Bush had more than a single vote majority. He had won the

-- eGroups Sponsor -~-~ eGroups eLerts It's Easy. It's Fun. Best of All, it's Free! http://click.egroups.com/1/9698/1/_/_/_/974085402/ -_- Communiqué and Analysis from the Narco News Elections Service: PROJECTION at 10 p.m. ET, Sunday, November 12, 2000: BUSH WILL CONCEDE TO GORE (Note to working journalists: Your news agencies will not allow you to run with this projection yet, but please file it for second review if and when the scenario presented here occurs.) ANALYSIS: Although The Narco News Bulletin does not endorse candidates, and certainly would never support either of the hypocritical drug warriors Al Gore or George W. Bush, we have extensively covered election fraud matters in Mexico and the Dominican Republic this year. As we look upon the recount controversies underway in the Narco-State of Florida, our analysts are now prepared to make a projection: George W. Bush will concede this election to Al Gore very shortly, perhaps within a week. The factors weighed in the NarcoNewsroom are the following: 1. Today's revelation by Authentic Journalists Robert W. Neill, Jr. and Preston Peet that found Florida Governor Jeb Bush's signature on a blatant act of absentee ballot fraud. 2. Tomorrow's Times of London report that the FBI is already in Florida investigating a massive case of voter fraud targetted at "black and Jewish" voters in the Bush controlled state. Both articles are attached for your review. Narco News, due to technical problems, has not posted our projection yet on our web site. However, this communiqué and analysis may be distributed or reprinted by others. What does this story have to do with the narco? Florida is a state swimming in drug money. Indeed, 99% of all dollar bills in Florida are found to have traces of cocaine. More importantly, the sheer amount of money that moves through Florida far surpasses the amount of money generated legally within its economy. Florida is the bridge to the Latin American oligarchies from the Colombian paramilitaries to the former Cuban upper caste to the super-rich from Venezuela who are now trying to overthrow elected president Hugo Chávez. These networks and the US intelligence and other agencies that permeate them are steeped in narco-money, as a review of US federal court documents in the Miami district quickly reveals. Narco News sources say that these networks pumped major money into the political campaign in Florida and investigators are already following the narco-money trail. The US election system, standing naked before all América, has suffered severe image problems in recent days. But at the point that the narco-connection to the election process becomes known, the crisis will explode far beyond anything that has yet happened. Both political parties, Democrat and Republican, have actively recruited narco-money for this campaign. See Michael C. Ruppert's May 2000 report: http://www.narconews.com/USDominican1.html Both parties thus have a vital interest in making certain that the current crisis does not escalate to reveal what Mexican columnist Carlos Ramírez wrote this morning: "That the myth of Democracy in the United States... is a myth." Although both major US parties, Democrat and Republican, are complicit in the drug war and the narco-money trail, the weight of these facts, for simple geography, falls more heavily on the incumbent Florida Governor Jeb Bush, brother of the GOP candidate. Look for George W. Bush to concede, perhaps by the end of the week, with the most graceful "the system still works" speech you ever heard. Both parties have an interest in making sure the narco-money scandal does not explode, and the Bush family's advantage in the election -- having a member as governor of Florida -- now converts to its major disadvantage. Already documented to have signed an act of absentee ballot fraud, Jeb Bush faces investigation, subpoena and possible federal indictment by the Democrat-controlled Justice Department. Narco News, with its experience watching how these kinds of crises are fixed behind the scenes in the nations of Latin America, makes an educated projection that a similar fix is already underway in the United States. You heard it here first; Narco News Projects Al Gore as the Illigitimate 43rd President of the United States We furthermore challenge the US Government to clean up its own house before repeating its historic and arrogant finger-pointing at Latin America. Washington has no standing to tell the people of the rest of América how to run their democracies. And to the US Media, wrong in its election night projections on Florida, we suggest the adoption of more accurate methods of projecting the winner. More important than exit polls in this era is that pillar of Authentic Journalism long forgotten by the commercially driven media: historic memory. Al Giordano
[CTRL] Fwd: [news] Who Should Concede?
consortiumnews.com - http://www.consortiumnews.com Politicians and pundits are eager for Vice President Gore to quickly concede the presidential election to Gov. Bush and bring closure to Election 2000. A key argument is that Republican candidates who came close in the past -- especially Richard Nixon in 1960 and Gerald Ford in 1976 -- gracefully accepted defeat for the "good of the country" and Gore, a Democrat, now should do the same. Though this argument is gaining momentum, it is based on bogus history. The real history is that Republicans since Nixon have played extraordinary hardball and have only conceded when they were faced with clear defeat in the popular vote. Ford was behind by 1.7 million ballots in 1976. Indeed, it has been the Democrats who have routinely turned the other cheek and kept quiet when they discovered evidence of GOP dirty tricks aimed at rigging the outcome of presidential elections. These cases go back to Nixon's runs in 1960 and 1968 and are as recent as the 1992 match-up between Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.

As you know, I write to you from Berlin, the Heart of Europe. Do you also know that Berlin has, since the days of Marx's Internationale, remained steadfastly Communist, Anarchist and Socialist? Even during the darkest time of Germany's Nazi occupation by that deranged Austrian drugfiend, Adolf Shickelgrueber, and our Famous Playwright, Bertholt Brecht, Berlin remained steadfastly socialist. Anti-German attitudes, as well as all human xenophobia on Planet Earth is directly attributable to the corrupt and EVIL system that is much- lauded by the bloodsuckers of the International Stock Exchanges and Wall Street, the latter which (it is well known) is the net supplier of armaments to every corner of the World. You know, 99.9% of the Planet's current problems, such as war, terrorism and counter-terrorism, xenophobia, gangsterism, hard drug trafficking, pollution, the destruction of Our Planet's Biosystem and related technological disasters can be traced back to the roots of capitalism, a system of production that puts usury and financial extortion before Life... Practically all of the problems you folk discuss on CTRL are directly attributable to the capitalist mode of production and the distorted, murderous anti-values which spring from it. What we all should be doing now is not simply to observe and reflect on the effects of capitalism but to do EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR MEANS TO END THIS DIABOLICAL SPELL WHICH, ALBEIT AGAINST THEIR WILL, STILL MESMERIZES THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PLANET!

America, now it is so easy to take out these criminals ... arch- criminals and BIGTIME SINNERS who have no other interest than to try and keep humanity under the control of its DEATH-RAY! Now, there is no excuse left for any to procrastinate and put off the inevitable: this KILLER mode of production must, by the WILL OF HUMANITY, be put down and the Planet be finally rid of it.

Recounts Full story at: http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/politics/AP-Other-Recounts.html By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 10:43 p.m. ET As the Bush campaign challenges Democrat-backed recounts in Florida's presidential balloting, it also is sending signals that -- if the Florida vote continues to be contested -- it may seek recounts in states where Al Gore appears to have narrow victories. The Bush campaign dispatched representatives to Des Moines to try to assess a possible recount in Iowa, where Gore won by 5,069 votes. Possible recounts are also under consideration in New Mexico, Wisconsin and Oregon, where absentee and mail-in ballots are still being counted. The Bush campaign sought a federal injunction Saturday to block additional recounts in Florida's Palm Beach County. A day earlier, former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, who is George Bush's point man in the Florida election dispute, hinted that the campaign would respond in kind in other states if the Democrats press for further recounts in Florida. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] ADG: LR company sold software that created Florida ballots
-Caveat Lector- LR company sold software that created Florida ballots CHRISTOPHER SPENCER ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE Paul Nolte of Little Rock knows a lot about chad -- the little pieces of paper left after a punch-hole ballot is cast -- but few people cared about it until Wednesday. Now the president of the small Little Rock company, Election Resources Corp., is being interviewed by such big-media players as The New York Times, National Public Radio and MSNBC. Nolte's company sold the software that created and counted the punch-hole ballots in Broward and Palm Beach counties in Florida, where Democrats are seeking hand recounts of ballots cast to elect the next U.S. president. The Palm Beach County ballot, which is under extreme scrutiny for its listing of candidates, was designed with Election Resources Corp. software, Nolte said. The so-called "butterfly ballot," which Nolte said is not a common term in the industry, is being disputed because some Palm Beach County voters claim that the ballot card is confusing and caused votes for Al Gore to be miscast as votes for Pat Buchanan. Such designs are coincidental, Nolte said, not intentional. "It's not something that someone consciously decides to do," Nolte said. "It's not a bad ballot design, but it always results from space limitations." The same style ballot was used in Saline and Hot Spring counties and wasn't a problem, Nolte said. Also critical to a manual recount are the hanging chad -- paper that remains attached to the hole of punched ballots. It can cause errors in the election results when tabulated by automated vote-counting equipment, officials said. "You will never get the same numbers," said Rebecca Mercuri, a professor of computer science at Bryn Mawr College. "If you run thousands of these cards through again and again, you will continue to get different numbers that are coming up. "An error rate of 2 percent to 5 percent, believe it or not, is considered acceptable by most election officials... if the error is evenly distributed across all of the candidates." Nolte admitted that hanging chad is a problem but said that most ballots instruct voters to check both sides of the card to make sure all holes are cleanly punched -- putting the responsibility on the shoulders of the voter.

[CTRL] WP: Philip B. Heymann: The Case for a Do-Over
-Caveat Lector- [I've always wondered what this SOB knows about VWF's death.] http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57342-2000Nov9.html "The writer, a former deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration, is a law professor at Harvard University." The Case for a Do-Over The Washington Post By Philip B. Heymann Friday, November 10, 2000; Page A45 Despite all that is to be said for the values of promptness in resolving a presidential election, there must be a new vote in Palm Beach County, Fla.--a vote that might be limited to those who voted on Tuesday. A Florida statute forbids the ballot form that seems to have confused so many. Without that ballot, the results in Florida probably would have been very different. This is not a conclusion that one should come to easily. It is not relevant that Al Gore seems to have won the national popular vote. We must either change the systems we have for deciding who will be president or follow them wherever they lead. In the meantime, if we have to pay a small price in responsiveness to voter preferences for immense rewards in stability, the cost is infinitely worth the gain. No ballot is perfectly clear. No voting process is perfectly managed. Different imperfections and mistakes generally hurt or help both candidates. The neutrality of judges is not always trusted and, even if it were, we would probably not want the relatively slow processes of litigation and appeals to follow every closely contested election. So before ordering a new vote it makes sense to place a heavy burden on the review of elections in the form of clear illegality and its likely effect on the electoral results. Where that burden is met, the necessary remedy is a new vote in the local jurisdiction alone, using legal ballots. There was, in fact, such a clear illegality and effect in Palm Beach County: An extremely confusing ballot flatly violated the law that Florida enacted to prevent this confusion. In a state where the candidates are separated by hundreds of votes, thousands in an overwhelmingly Democratic district seem to have been misled by a confusing ballot form used only there--a form that was directly forbidden by a Florida statute. Thousands more appear to have caught their error quickly enough to correct it, only to have their ballots rejected for voting for more than one presidential candidate. There is little dispute that these results of an illegal ballot form were (1) exactly what the Florida statute was designed to prevent, and (2) likely to have determined the Florida and national election. The confusion that the Florida legislature sought to avoid was created in this case by the location of the place where voters register their preferences. A voter might well have concluded that a mark to the right of the Gore box was a vote for Gore even though, also being left of the Buchanan box, it would be a vote for Buchanan if the mark was off-center. But the issue is not solely that the ballot form was confusing. It is illegal by Florida statutes designed to eliminate the confusion that infected this election. Section 101.560 of Florida law states: "When an electronic or electromechanical voting system" is used, "the ballot information shall . . . be in the order of arrangement provided for paper ballots." Section 101.27(3) repeats the same requirement. Section 101.151 states what these requirements are. They include: "To vote for a candidate whose name is printed on the ballot place a cross [x] mark in the blank space at the right of the name of the candidate. . . ." Still another provision of Florida law, Section 101.5609(6), also makes clear Florida's concern about such confusion, requiring the voting squares to be consistently on the same side of each candidate's name. The critical point is that, ignoring these requirements, the ballot asked the voters sometimes to mark on the right, as the law required, and sometimes on the left. That leaves us with a choice between two paths as we try to do the least harm to the credibility and stability of our democracy. We can end the uncertainty as promptly as possible by abiding by the recount of ballots, encouraging citizens to forget that the results of the recount were shaped by a plain violation of the law with significant effects. But that would mean that for the next four years, a high percentage of Americans will believe that a man who lost the popular vote and who may well have lost the electoral vote was made president in order to avoid suspense, uncertainty and delay. We are far too stable and dedicated a democracy to fear the consequences of a delay of at most a few weeks. The other and better path is to quickly order a new vote in Palm Beach County using a ballot in the legally prescribed form. The Constitution requires Congress to set a single date for electors to vote, but it imposes no such requirement for the time of choosing the electors. It hardly could, for hurricanes and natural disasters

-Caveat Lector- Newsmax-Inside Cover Sunday, November 12, 2000 12:01 am EST Gore Web Site Solicits Activists to Complain About Vote More evidence the Gore-Lieberman campaign is not interested in a simple recount of the Florida vote: The home page of the campaign's Web site is soliciting voter complaints from Democratic activists in Florida and across the nation. The Gore Web site site leads with William Daley's statement of Nov. 11, 2000. Another headline reads: "November 7, 2000 Presidential Election Comments" asking activists to call in to discuss problems "about your vote in Florida or elsewhere." Activists are asked to either e-mail their complaints or call in to a special line, 800-579-8871. The line answers with a recording saying the caller has reached "the Florida voting hotline" and asks callers to leave name, voting precinct and phone number. A call-back is promised. (Already we hear that Bush activists on the Web are encouraging people to call the Gore toll-free line to complain about the politicization of the vote process by the Gore campaign.) Another page on the Gore Web site details how activists can help the Gore campaign. It reads: Thank you for contacting Gore/Lieberman 2000. Al Gore and Joe Lieberman appreciate your support.

[CTRL] WSJ: A Blatant Conflict of Interest
-Caveat Lector- JOHN FUND'S POLITICAL DIARY Journal Opinion Online A Blatant Conflict of Interest Theresa LePore should recuse herself from the Palm Beach vote-count process. Sunday, November 12, 2000 1:03 p.m. EST If you would like to know exactly how your next president will be determined, read this Saturday night dispatch from the Associated Press: During the manual count of votes in Palm Beach County, Fla., officials switched tests mid-count to decide the validity of the ballots. In the morning, the canvassing board said that they would count a vote if any of the corners of the bits of paper punched out of the cards called "chad" were punched. The board then decided that they would instead use the "sunlight test" if they could see sun come though an indentation, it would count. About a quarter of the way through the counting, however, a board member determined that the light test was flawed and told the other members to go back to the first test. The change in procedures will undoubtedly slow down the hand count as board members had to go back and recount all of the votes previously counted using the new rules. After six hours of playing Carnac the Magnificent, holding up ballots and trying to divine the "intent" of the voters who cast them, the three-member Palm Beach County election canvassing commission completed its hand count of four sample precincts and took up the question of whether they had turned up enough "errors" using the new liberalized new standard to justify a complete recount of the county's ballots. County Judge Charles Burton, the commission's chairman, urged caution. He put forth a motion to ask the Florida Secretary of State's office for advice before proceeding with a full hand count. But he was overruled. The vote for the complete recount, which came after 2 a.m. today, was 2-1. The two other members of the canvassing board are Carol Roberts, a county commissioner, and Theresa LePore, the county elections supervisor. Ms. Roberts is a highly partisan Democrat who met with President Clinton in Palm Beach last year while she was contemplating a run for Congress. Ms. LePore, an elected Democrat, is the designer of the infamous "butterfly ballot" that both Democrats and impartial observers say caused confusion on Election Day. Ms. LePore says she designed the ballot to make the print bigger for seniors, the group complaining the loudest about it. But she sent sample ballots to every voter and all candidates before the election and didn't receive any complaints. Nonetheless, she has come in for bitter criticism. The AP says she "might be the most reviled Democrat in the country" because her ballot "may have cost Al Gore the election." Ms. LePore has gone into near-seclusion and has hired a lawyer to defend herself against lawsuits. It is for that reason that Ms. LePore should have recused herself from the decision to launch an unprecedented hand count of all presidential ballots in Palm Beach--and why she should recuse herself from all subsequent decisions about this election. She has a blatant conflict of interest. Ms. LePore has worked in the Palm Beach election office since she was 16. As an elected official, she obviously would like to continue in office. If she did not approve the controversial hand count in the heavily Democratic county, it's obvious she would have no political future. Two months ago, the same Palm Beach County election commissioners rejected a request for a hand count in a disputed GOP primary election for a state legislative seat seat. Beverly Green begged for a hand count of her 13-vote loss but was rebuffed. "It wasn't that close. The manual count is historically when it's single digits," said Ms. LePore at the time. A state House district is smaller than Palm Beach County, but a single-digit margin in such a district would be the equivalent of only about 100 votes countywide. Clearly Ms. LePore Co. are applying a double standard. The decision to proceed with the hand count was made by a single vote--Ms. LePore's. Do the American people want a single low-level politician who fears for her job to decide who will be the president of the United States? = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] FN: N.M. Troopers Impound Ballots
-Caveat Lector- N.M. Troopers Impound Ballots Fox News Sunday, November 12, 2000 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. State police have begun impounding ballots from Tuesday's election after Republican lawyers asked courts to order protection for early voting and absentee ballots cast statewide, in case they are needed for recounts or review later. "It's not to impound all the ballots, but all the paper ballots the early-voting and absentee," said Albuquerque-based GOP National Committeeman Mickey Barnett. He said he and fellow GOP attorney Duncan Scott, his former law partner, planned to file impoundment petitions in all 13 judicial districts in the state to impound those ballots within their jurisdictions. "All it is," he said, "is to preserve the status quo there are no challenges, no recounts" at least, not yet. "Let's preserve the record ... let's just make sure the state police have control of things that can move or change." "There's no allegation whatsoever in this impoundment issue that there's any fraud or anything," Barnett said. "I think it's much more pro-forma than suspicion. I'd just like to know two weeks from now, if something does happen, that they (the ballots) are all there." He said all 13 judicial districts would be served by close of business Monday. State police Sgt. Royleen Ross-Weaver said officers already have begun impounding ballots in Catron, Sierra and Socorro counties under orders from state District Judge Edmund Kase. "The early and absentee voting ballots in Sierra and Catron (counties) have been seized. The officers are in the process of seizing those types of ballots in Socorro County," Ross-Weaver said. She said Torrance County is still in the canvassing process. "When that process is completed, those ballots will be transported to the 7th Judicial District Courthouse in Socorro," she said. Ross-Weaver said her office is checking other state police offices around the state to see whether any other impoundments have occurred, but that as of 10:40 p.m. Saturday only the 7th Judicial District impoundments had begun. The impoundment bid was not motivated by any particular race, although the presidential election was among those that were of concern, Barnett said. Republican George W. Bush moved into a 17-vote lead Friday night over Democrat Al Gore as 355 damaged ballots were hand-counted. Perhaps a few hundred "in-lieu-of" absentee ballots cast by people who certify they did not receive requested absentee ballots remain to be counted statewide, but precise numbers will not be available until at least Monday. The impoundment petitions are being filed on behalf of GOP Court of Appeals candidate Rita Nunez Neumann, Barnett said, explaining that one statewide candidate like Nunez, by petitioning, would assure the security of all the ballots statewide. "I filed this as a Republican official," Barnett said. Neumann, with all precincts reporting in unofficial returns, was declared the loser to Democrat Celia Foy Castillo, who had 53 percent of the vote to 47 percent for Neumann. More than 32,500 votes separated the two candidates. The petition filed by Scott asks the courts to order the impoundment of "tally sheets, registration certificates, paper ballots, absentee ballots, statements of canvass, absentee ballot applications, absentee ballot registers and emergency paper ballots." = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Salon: Gore's War Room
-Caveat Lector- http://www.salon.com/politics/feature/2000/11/11/war_room/index.html Salon.com 11/11/2000 Gore's "war room" A campaign memo outlines the vice president's extensive battle plan. By Jake Tapper Nov. 11, 2000 | TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- On Friday, Gore spokesman Douglas Hattaway told CNN, "The campaign is over." And while, technically, the campaign to elect Al Gore president has officially been disbanded, a new campaign has replaced it to win the increasingly vicious contests in the courts and the court of public opinion. Gore has moved with speed and seriousness to deploy a staff here and in key spots in both Florida and Washington, where this new campaign is being waged. Replacing the official Gore campaign, which ended Friday, is the Gore Recount Committee, a separate entity allowed by federal laws that provide campaign committees an opportunity, if necessary, to fund a group to work on recount efforts. And based on a draft memo from Thursday obtained by Salon that outlines the committee's various functions, as well as conversations with members of the Gore Recount Committee, this group means business. The memo even talks about a "war room," after the famous command center of the Clinton administration immortalized in the documentary of the same name. Committee officials insist they're just a short-term operation, saying their canvassers have told them that the election should all be over by this time next week, that after the hand-counting of the ballots in the heavily Democratic Palm Beach, Broward and Volusia counties, Gore should win. But since, they argue, no one knows exactly what the overseas absentee ballots will bring, the infrastructure they're setting up right now could allow activities beyond the last deadline for votes in the primary -- the last day for absentee ballots, Friday, Nov. 17. This could allow the Democrats to continue to wage a political, legal and public relations battle based on the "uncounted" Palm Beach County "butterfly ballots." Or, as Bill Daley, Gore's campaign chairman and co-chair of the recount committee, alluded to in a press conference Thursday, it could allow the Democrats to challenge other voting controversies in parts of Florida where questions remain over whether ballots were fairly counted. "Al Gore won the popular vote, and he's ahead in the electoral college vote," says Mark Fabiani, who ran the communications team for the Gore campaign and will do so for the recount committee. "It's clear from all the evidence that he won the most votes in Florida. We're determined to have those votes counted in a speedy and correct manner ... Hopefully, it's not going to be a very prolonged battle. We hope with a speedy recount, Al Gore will be ahead this time next week." But what if he's not? Will the recount committee seek a revote in Palm Beach County, claiming -- as they have already alleged -- that the ballots are illegal? "We're taking this one step at a time," Fabiani says. With the short-term target in mind, but a long-term war a possibility, the Gore recount committee has dispatched key members of the Gore campaign -- working with others from the Democratic National Committee -- to Palm Beach, Tallahassee and Washington. The infrastructure and organization of this team, not to mention the funds necessary for its day-to-day operation, underscores how tenaciously Gore intends to challenge the results of the controversial, razor-thin and still as yet uncertified victory of Gov. George W. Bush in Florida. The operation will be co-run by Daley and former Secretary of State Warren Christopher. Though both men returned to Washington for the weekend, they will continue to be based, initially, in Tallahassee, where the three-person elections certification committee -- which consists entirely of officials who endorsed Bush -- is supervising the state's automatic recount. The War Room The "war room," as it is referred to in the memo, will be run in Washington. The shop will be headed by Gore campaign manager Donna Brazile, as well as other senior advisers: campaign chief of staff Chip Smith, Daley's chief of staff David Lane, Daley deputy chief of staff Graham Streett, Daley assistant Molly Buford and former deputy chief of staff/campaign rapid-response staffer Monica Dixon. Lastly, David Ginsberg, head of the Gore campaign's research operation -- infamously referred to once by Brazile as its "slaughterhouse" -- is heading a small staff in Washington that will conduct research to back up claims for their case and to refute ones made by Bushies, who no doubt have a similar operation set up. "War room" responsibilities, according to the draft memo obtained by Salon, include "monitoring press, writing talking points, writing press statements, outreach to elected's and community leaders, coordination of communications strategy, and monitoring state operations in Iowa, Wisconsin, Oregon, and New Mexico" -- states where the Bush campaign could begin
