[CTRL] U.S. Thinks Agent Revealed Tunnel at Soviet Embassy
-Caveat Lector- March 4, 2001 U.S. Thinks Agent Revealed Tunnel at Soviet Embassy By JAMES RISEN with LOWELL BERGMAN The New York Times WASHINGTON, March 3 The United States government constructed a secret tunnel under the Soviet Union's embassy in Washington to eavesdrop, but federal investigators now believe the operation was betrayed by the F.B.I. agent who was arrested last month on charges of spying for Moscow, current and former United States intelligence and law enforcement officials say. The secret tunnel operation, which officials indicated was run jointly by the F.B.I. and the National Security Agency, was part of a broad United States effort to eavesdrop on and track Soviet later Russian facilities and personnel operating in the United States. Spokesmen at the F.B.I. and the White House declined to comment on the tunnel operation today. Current and former United States officials estimated that the tunnel construction and related intelligence-gathering activities cost several hundred million dollars, apparently making it the most expensive clandestine intelligence operation that the agent, Robert Philip Hanssen, is accused of betraying. The tunnel was designed to aid in a sophisticated operation to eavesdrop on communications and conversations in the Soviet Embassy complex, which was built in the 1970's and 1980's but was not fully occupied until the 1990's. In the 1980's, at about the time the tunnel operation was under way, the United States and the Soviet Union argued bitterly over their respective embassies in Moscow and Washington, with the United States accusing Moscow of spying at both locations. The government has never publicly disclosed the existence of the tunnel operation. But in an F.B.I. affidavit in the Hanssen case, the government stated that Mr. Hanssen "compromised an entire technical program of enormous value, expense and importance to the United States government." Officials said that was a reference to the tunnel operation and related intelligence activities. The government charges that Mr. Hanssen, a 25-year veteran of the F.B.I. and a counterintelligence expert, volunteered to spy for Moscow in October 1985. He was arrested on Feb. 18 in a Virginia park after leaving a package containing classified documents for his Russian handlers, according to the affidavit. It could not be determined when the government believes Mr. Hanssen betrayed the tunnel operation and related intelligence-gathering activities targeting the embassy complex. Nor are many details known about how and when the operation was mounted, or whether it ever succeeded in collecting useful intelligence. But the emerging belief that the tunnel program had been compromised was a factor in the government's decision to keep looking for additional spies after the 1994 arrest of the C.I.A. officer Aldrich H. Ames, according to current and former officials. A secret investigative team was established to identify the source of a series of damaging intelligence losses, including the tunnel and related activities against the embassy, that could not be explained by Mr. Ames. Other unexplained intelligence losses including other technical intelligence programs, as well as the 1989 disclosure to Moscow that the F.B.I. was conducting an espionage investigation of a State Department official, Felix S. Bloch also prompted officials to begin a new mole hunt, officials added. That mole-hunt team played a critical role in the counterespionage probe that led to Mr. Hanssen's arrest, United States officials said. It was a successor to an earlier C.I.A. mole-hunt team that helped uncover Mr. Ames. The tunnel was built under Moscow's embassy complex on Washington's Wisconsin Avenue, a hilltop location known as Mount Alto, officials said. The Soviets were prevented for years from fully occupying the embassy complex as a result of a long- running dispute with the United States about charges that the American Embassy in Moscow had been thoroughly bugged. Soviet diplomats occupied apartments there in 1979, and Congressional critics charged that they were using those buildings as espionage outposts. In the mid- 1980's, some American lawmakers claimed that the hilltop location would give the Soviets an edge in intelligence gathering against United States government buildings in Washington. The new embassy complex was not fully occupied until after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, the American intelligence offensive against the embassy remained hidden from public view even as the United States publicly protested a Soviet campaign to lace the new United States Embassy in Moscow with listening devices. Construction on the new American Embassy in Moscow was halted in 1985 after the Reagan administration protested that Soviet construction crews were imbedding eavesdropping equipment within the walls of the new chancery building.

-Caveat Lector- From http://www.lewrockwell.com/yates/yates28.html Embedded linques at site }}Begin Whats Wrong With the New World Order? by Steven Yates "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" ~ the Wizard, to Dorothy The Wizard of Oz These days I get quite a bit of email, some of it from readers of my columns here on LewRockwell.com. Judging from the vast majority of the responses, it is gratifying to know that however politically correct the dominant culture gets, there is intelligent life on the Internet. I try to answer whatever is sent my way personally. I dont always succeed. A few of my articles have elicited as many as 60 emails in less than 24 hours, and for one or two, the number went well over a hundred. When this happens, demands on my time dont permit me to reply to everyone; Im a "one man operation" here, and nothing else would get done. I sincerely regret this, but I do read everything sent to me. Eventually. One of those unanswered waifs concerned an article I wrote a few months back on Carroll Quigleys detailed documentation of the rise of what some of us have been calling the New World Order: a diabolical triad of global government, global economics (masquerading under such labels as "free trade"), and global, ecumenical religion (which would be resolutely hostile to Christianity). This article was one that received a flood of email. I answered what I could, but at some point had to give up. Received long after this point was a brief missive with two questions: "Whats wrong with the New World Order?" And then: "Dont you think it will make the world a better place for the majority of people on the planet?" On the one hand, these questions are refreshingly direct. On the other, they are scary. After the past ten years researching political correctness and turning up abundant evidence of increasing control of global politics, financial resources and information by a superelite with no loyalty to anything except money and power, I receive a well-meaning query from someone who not only senses no danger but wonders if such control might not be a good thing. There are no doubt others who believe that if we could just set aside all the differences represented by such things as national boundaries and regional loyalties, it really would issue in global peace and prosperity. I left the email to sit in a subdirectory. Where, after all, do I begin? But the questions ring with fundamental concerns of those sort that dont often get raised, and are almost never raised in the dominant media today. Asked in good faith, the questions are worth taking up and answering, if only because few others will do it. I do so here. Perhaps the best place to begin is by reviewing the nature of government. Is government a "good thing," a "bad thing," or somewhere in between? To answer this question, many writers refer to the oft-quoted statement by George Washington, our first President: "Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George Washington, of course, was an entirely different breed from the kind of opportunist that tends to inhabit the land of politics today. He had a healthy sense that government was indeed a danger to freedom. And why not? After all, hed just played a central role in the war of secession from the British Empire, which at the time was out-of-control centralized government at its greatest height. Government has been properly characterized by libertarian writers as having a legal monopoly on the use of force to achieve its ends. The Framers of our Constitutional republic realized this, and took steps to limit governments growth. This was what the U.S. Constitution was all about. It had its critics who favored a still more limited, weaker central government: history has mislabeled them the "anti-federalists." It goes without saying that this is not the vision of government presented in todays "public schools." As products of government, they are places where students are brainwashed into near-worship of government.

[CTRL] OS: Democrats' silence is the true shock about pardon scandal
-Caveat Lector- http://orlandosentinel.com/news/opinion/orl-oped-griffin04030401.column?col l=orl%2Dopinion%2Dheadlin Democrats' silence is the true shock about pardon scandal Published March 4, 2001 Mike Griffin I've never understood the Republican obsession with Bill Clinton. From the minute Clinton was elected president in 1992 until this very day, the Grand Old Party remains fixated on ruining a man who, if left to his own devices, shows an uncanny ability to ruin himself. Like Captain Ahab relentlessly pursuing the great white whale, the Republicans' desire to destroy Clinton became a blind obsession that led to the destruction of several of the party's own leaders. So the Republican outcry over Clinton's final days and a list of dubious pardons issued from the Oval Office were predictable. The shocking thing about the latest Clinton scandal isn't the screaming of Republicans but the total silence of Democrats. Leading Democrats -- particularly in Florida -- haven't had much to say about Clinton's disgraceful exit from public life. The silence is surprising, given that Democrats have far more reason to be furious at Clinton than Republicans do. Republicans expected Clinton to be an immoral scoundrel and were not disappointed. Democrats, on the other hand, had higher expectations of the Man from Hope. They expected Camelot. They got Bithlo on a bad day. Democrats hungered for Jack and Bobby Kennedy. They got Bill and Roger Clinton. And Hugh Rodham. Rodham, Hillary Rodham Clinton's brother, collected a nifty $400,000 from dubious pals hoping to win a presidential pardon. Rodham, you may remember, ran the worst statewide political campaign in Florida history in 1994 when he challenged incumbent U.S. Sen. Connie Mack. Obviously, Rodham's political skills haven't improved. Not only did none of his clients get pardons -- how much pull does this guy have? -- but he also was too dimwitted to see long in advance the damage that the scandal would do to his sister's political ambitions. Rodham returned the money, and both Clintons apologized. Bill denied wrongdoing, and Hillary expressed outrage. It is the time-honored Clinton formula: stonewall, deny, apologize, express outrage. If they could bottle the recipe, Hillary wouldn't need the $8 million book deal. But apparently, the presidential-pardon business can be pretty lucrative as well. Songwriter Denise Rich has donated millions of dollars to the Democratic Party and to Clinton's presidential library, and lavished gifts on the former first family. Her ex-husband, fugitive commodities dealer Marc Rich, got his pardon. Marc Rich fled the country rather than face racketeering, wire-fraud and tax-evasion charges. Although the Rich pardon raises serious questions of propriety, it also calls into question Clinton's commitment to Democratic Party philosophy. Rich, who is accused of stealing millions of dollars, gets a pardon. But Roger Clinton, the president's half-brother, couldn't deliver pardons for a half-dozen of his friends. These guys were small-time hoods, some of them drug dealers who did time with the younger Clinton. A bailout for a millionaire but squat for the first brother's cellblock buddies. What happened to the Democratic Party's long-held commitment to help the little guy? Republicans will insist on digging into this sordid mess because Bill Clinton remains their passion. The unintended consequence also happens to be that the focus on the Clintons seems to be helping President George W. Bush. The new administration has been spared the barbs that often fly in a president's first few months. Second, although any president would seem a moral giant standing next to Clinton, Bush particularly flourishes in the comparison. The new president is a humble straight-talker, and the longer the Clinton mess continues, the better and better Bush looks.

-Caveat Lector- Navy, Shipbuilders Prepare Reagan Carrier for Christening By Lawrence Morahan CNS Senior Staff Writer March 02, 2001 Newport News, Va. (CNSNews.com) - Top Navy brass and Newport News Shipbuilding executives are busily preparing for the christening of the Ronald Reagan, the ninth nuclear powered Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to be built at Newport News and the first to bear the name of a living former president. Former First Lady Nancy Reagan will christen the $5 billion carrier Sunday, the 49th anniversary of her wedding to the former president, at a public ceremony here that is expected to draw 20,000 people. President George Bush will be the principle speaker at the ceremony. Guests will include: Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Virginia Sens. John Warner and George Allen. Former President Reagan will not attend the event. He withdrew from public life in 1994 after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Mrs. Reagan will break the traditional bottle of champagne against the ship's hull and officially christen the ship in the name of the 40th president. The Reagan is about 60 percent complete. It will undergo 2 more years of construction before it joins the Navy's fleet in 2003. The state-of-the-art Reagan is 1,092 feet long and towers 20 stories above the water line. When complete, the Reagan will have a full compliment of 6,000 personnel and 80 aircraft aboard. Capt. J.W. Goodwin, 47, is the prospective commanding officer. "Two weeks ago, early on a Saturday morning, they opened the valves at the end of the dry dock here and we filled it up for the first time - then you know you're one step closer to taking the ship to sea," 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] LT: Mad Swan Disease?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/Sunday-Times/frontpage.html?2533646 March 4 2001 BRITAIN Swans crash to their deaths on rainy roads Edin Hamzic and Guy Dennis WILDLIFE organisations are investigating why growing numbers of Britain's swans are dying as they mistake rain-soaked roads for rivers and crash-land on them. Conservationists believe one of the wettest winters on record may be to blame for an increase of up to 25% in the number of swans injured or killed in this way. The birds are deceived by wet roads, which look like open water from a height or in low light. When the tarmac is wet, and at dawn or dusk, they see its smooth black surface as a placid river, and car parks as lakes. Problems also arise in hot weather, when heat from the dark surface of roads creates a mirage. Swans, weighing about 8kg (18lb), come in to land with their feet outstretched, expecting a gentle touchdown. Instead they crash to a halt, leading to sprains, cut feet, injured backs and wings, and broken legs. Many injured birds are then run over and killed. Graham Madge, of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, said: "Sadly, it is happening with some regularity. As their habitat is constantly invaded by people and altered, it is becoming harder for the birds to find their way around." Conservationists say it is hard to put an exact number on the accidents because most deaths are not reported. However, they estimate that up to 1,000 swans crash each year. The Swan Sanctuary, Britain's largest refuge for the birds with five sites, treats more than 3,000 birds a year. It claims that 130 to 140 of these are crash-landing victims- a quarter more than five years ago. Steve Knight, director of operations, said the number of injuries rises during the autumn and winter when young swans leave their nests and go in search of new territories. "You get a young swan just out of the parental nest - with L-plates, so to speak - flying for the first time, getting into trouble." While the mute swan was almost perfectly designed for altitude flying, the birds were vulnerable during take-off and descent, making it difficult for them to abort a landing even if they realised their mistake, he said. According to Knight, an added danger is at points where roads cross rivers. A warm thermal from the road mixes with a cold one from the river, creating a crosswind. As swans have a wingspan of about 6ft, it is easy for them to get caught in it and crash into the road. "Only last week we were called to an accident on Chiswick flyover on the M4 in west London," Knight said. "A large adult swan appeared to have confused the motorway for a river and attempted to land. "It crashed through the windscreen of a minibus taking passengers to Heathrow airport. Luckily the bird survived and is now recovering." In another incident, last July, a female swan crash-landed on a busy road in Coventry city centre in the middle of the morning rush-hour. Police had to close the road while RSPCA officers collected the bird and took it to a vet. Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Trust in Scotland reports a tenfold increase in the number of injured swans, to between 200 and 250 a year, over the past 10 years. A quarter of the incidents involve swans landing on roads. In the past week alone the trust has taken in three birds injured in this way. Meanwhile, naturalists are struggling to stop a decline in Britain's 30,000 swan population. According to figures from the RSPB, the number fell by 15% = 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] WP: 'Humanitarianism' Cited in Clemency for [drug money-laundering] Lawyer
-Caveat Lector- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A16349-2001Mar2.html 'Humanitarianism' Cited in Clemency for Lawyer By John Mintz Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, March 3, 2001; Page A02 Harvey Weinig would not seem to be an obvious candidate for presidential clemency. The Manhattan lawyer had pleaded guilty to participating in one of the largest drug money-laundering cases in New York history -- helping the Cali cartel -- and had even played a small role in a kidnapping. But Weinig's name was on the list of 176 people who were pardoned or had sentences commuted by President Clinton on his last day in office. It was no random selection, either -- a former Clinton aide who is a Weinig relative had put in a good word for him with top administration officials in the president's waning days, and a lawyer who had represented many administration officials was hired to press his case. Weinig's situation has been lost in the shuffle of more controversial pardons, such as that of fugitive financier Marc Rich. But the president's grant of clemency to Weinig -- who had his sentence commuted after serving five years of an 11-year prison term -- shows that, as in the more celebrated case, access to the White House can make a critical difference. The U.S. attorney's office in New York that had prosecuted Weinig bitterly opposed the commutation, and officials at the Justice Department's headquarters here weighed in against it as well. People familiar with the White House deliberations say the president was swayed by a packet of materials prepared by Weinig's lawyer that described in detail the emotionally shattering impact his imprisonment had on his family, in particular his two teenage sons. "There's no question the president was moved by arguments of humanitarianism," said Reid Weingarten, Weinig's attorney. "A commutation of Harvey Weinig's sentence was justified." Sentenced in 1996 after pleading guilty to two counts in connection with the money-laundering case, Weinig will now be released in April from his cell at the federal prison in Fort Dix, N.J. The pardon has inflamed the Colombian public, which for years has resented U.S. pressure that the Bogota government crack down on cocaine dealers there. "This situation is quite disappointing and delivers the wrong message," Alfonso Valdivieso, Colombia's ambassador to the United Nations and a former top narcotics prosecutor, said in a radio interview. The U.S. prosecutors who investigated Weinig, led by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White in Manhattan, were also furious with Clinton's commutation. Days later, they got the judge in the case to unseal a document they had written for his sentencing five years ago. It described Weinig's nonchalance upon learning that one of his fellow conspirators had kidnapped a man to demand payment of a debt. "Weinig's conduct, particularly as a lawyer, was chilling," said the prosecutors' 1996 sentencing report. Weinig's appeal certainly was helped by the easy access his lawyer, Weingarten, enjoyed at the White House. Having represented former agriculture secretary Mike Espy in his corruption trial, and other high-ranking Clinton aides, Weingarten knew many top administration officials. After prosecutors shot down his clemency petition, he took it to White House counsel Beth Nolan and deputy counsel Bruce Lindsey, one of the president's closest friends. But the strongest arguments for Weinig were advanced by David Dreyer, who was deputy White House communications director in Clinton's first term and was later a top aide to Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin. Weinig is Dreyer's cousin by marriage, and the two have been close for years. He spoke about his relative to Nolan and John D. Podesta, Clinton's chief of staff. Former White House officials say that like many other pardon requests, the Weinig appeal set off a debate. "It was done on the basis of a humanitarian plea that was made to us by someone we knew who had rendered good public service and was a relative of Mr. Weinig," Podesta said on NBC News's "Meet the Press."

"Harvey is a good person who was extremely involved in the lives of his sons," said Dreyer, now a corporate consultant, summarizing the arguments he made to his former colleagues.

[CTRL] WP: RNC 'Regrets' Ex-Chair's Words About Sharpton
-Caveat Lector- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A16107-2001Mar2.html RNC 'Regrets' Ex-Chair's Words About Sharpton Associated Press Saturday, March 3, 2001; Page A04 The Republican National Committee expressed regret yesterday concerning comments its former chairman made about African American activist Al Sharpton. The party said in a joint statement released with Sharpton that their differences were resolved "without the payment of any money." Sharpton had filed a $30 million libel suit last spring against the RNC after then-Chairman Jim Nicholson wrote a letter to The Washington Post accusing Sharpton of instigating a deadly riot in the New York borough of Brooklyn in August 1991 and instigating arson that killed seven people at a Harlem store in 1995. Nicholson, who completed his term this winter, said in his letter last March that The Post's description of Sharpton as a "civil rights activist" could be attributed only to "a liberal bias" or political correctness on the newspaper's part. Nicholson's letter then made his accusations against Sharpton. "I'm not looking for a dime," Sharpton told the New York Daily News for yesterday's editions. "I'm looking for history to be made right. I want to make sure this is straightened out." "The RNC has confirmed it did not intend to state that Reverend Sharpton's involvement in the Crown Heights events led to the death of Yankel Rosenbaum," the joint statement said, referring to the young Talmudic scholar who died in the 1991 disturbance. "Nor did the letter mean to imply that Reverend Sharpton had any direct communication with the person who burned down Freddy's Fashion Mart in Harlem in a fire that killed several people." "The RNC regrets any such misunderstanding," the statement added. "The parties have agreed that they will not make any further comment about the lawsuit." © 2001 The Washington Post Company = 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] DN: Another New Bill of Sale
-Caveat Lector- Another New Bill of Sale Fund-raiser pushed Prez to pardon perjurer By GREG B. SMITH Daily News Staff Writer A major fund-raiser for the Clinton library helped get the White House to pardon convicted perjurer William Fugazy after the Justice Department shot down the request, the Daily News has learned. New York supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis is a member of an elite advisory board to the Clinton library and has pledged to raise $1 million for the sprawling complex in Little Rock, Ark. He was one of several prominent people who lobbied for Fugazy's pardon, but his appeal went straight to President Clinton's chief of staff John Podesta. Catsimatidis says his access helped overcome Justice Department opposition. "In the last 50 years, I don't know of anyone who's gotten a pardon who hadn't paid a lot of money to a lawyer or hasn't known somebody," Catsimatidis said in an interview yesterday. "How do you create a pardon other than talking to people?" Clinton granted Fugazy's pardon in his last hours in office, one of more than 40 that ran contrary to the Justice Department's clemency rules. Fugazy said yesterday that he deserved the pardon. "I don't think I did anything wrong. I think I was entitled to [a pardon]," he said. "I took a plea. It's the silliest thing I ever did, but that's life. There was really no case. I just didn't want to embarrass my family." Fugazy's pardon is the latest example of a possible connection between contributions to Clinton's library and the access needed to obtain presidential clemency. At a House committee hearing this week, investigators pressed senior Clinton staffers for any links between library donations and pardons, but the former aides denied any quid pro quo. Calls to Clinton's office and Podesta were not returned. Catsimatidis emphasized that Fugazy had the support of many powerful people, including Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), Mayor Giuliani, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, former White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum and the late John Cardinal O'Connor. Nussbaum said yesterday that he called the White House counsel's office to press the Fugazy pardon with people who used to work for him. He declined to reveal their names. "I made a call to the White House counsel's office to people that I know," he said. "They said, 'Thank you, good to hear from you.'" Fugazy has long been a prominent fixture in New York's political and charity scene. His nonprofit campaigns included fighting anti-Italian bias and raising money to restore Ellis Island. But by late 1986, his consulting company, Fugazy International, faced several suits and owed $10 million to banks and tax collectors, records show. He filed for personal bankruptcy. Prosecutors said he transferred assets to a company held in his children's names but continued to play a central role in running the company. During a deposition in the bankruptcy case, he repeatedly lied about who owned the firm, prosecutors said. Under a deal, Fugazy pleaded guilty to one felony count of perjury. At his sentencing, he submitted letters of support from Giuliani, O'Connor and Morgenthau. He was sentenced in September 1997 to two years' probation, including six months of home detention. Fugazy's lawyer, former federal prosecutor Andrew Maloney, soon began pushing the Justice Department to pardon Fugazy. He submitted the Giuliani letter and got new letters from O'Connor and Morgenthau. But Justice Department officials insisted they would not support a pardon for anyone until at least five years after the date of conviction or release from prison. "They said, 'Come back in 2003 and we'll be happy to process it,'" Maloney said. He said department lawyers suggested he take his case to the White House, and he submitted the package to Rangel, who took it to the White House counsel's office. Meanwhile, Catsimatidis wrote to Podesta, and Nussbaum called his old colleagues in the White House counsel's office. "I was aware of the five-year rule, but I was also aware that the President has discretion," said Nussbaum, who handled the case for free. "I did not do this in my capacity as former White House counsel. I did this in my capacity as somebody who knew Bill Fugazy."

Re: [CTRL] Springmeier has been released on recog/Drugs, hate literature seized in couple's home
-Caveat Lector- Tenorlove - I had never heard of Springmeier but a gentleman on anothre list said there were no drugs involved . It is one of two things - Springmeier is a plan (for he does give out a lot of bad information maybe not deliberately - but was he brought in for questioning and is he a plant himself. Firs thing I noted was this 50 marijuana plants - like Timothy McVeigh running down the road in a car without a license plate at high rate of speed - now in this day and age this is a good waya to draw attention to one's self.. So as the shadows fled - in McVeigh's case - we still have this ADL who warned FBI and BATF to stay home that day. Now 50 marijuana plants? Talk about the corn have ears but what if it is a two way receiver. It was several years before I realized that people on the assassination committed headed by Bud Fensterwald were "plants". So I find hard to believe anyone would be stupid enough to open a door to possible arrrest unless they wanted the door opened. The Unsuspected?

Yahoo - Doctor stumbles onto orgasm machine http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/010207/n07281052.html Wednesday February 7, 3:44 pm Eastern Time Doctor stumbles onto orgasm machine By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - All he was trying to do was ease her chronic back pain, but when Dr. Stuart Meloy placed an electrode into one patient's back, she groaned. Not in pain, but in delight. ``This is a direct quote -- she said, 'You're going to have to teach my husband how to do that','' Meloy, an anesthesiologist and pain specialist in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, said in a telephone interview. Meloy had stumbled onto an unexpected side-effect of the pain device he was using -- an ability to cause orgasm. He has just patented this unexpected use of the device, a spinal cord stimulator made by device company Medtronic (NYSE:MDT - news). Now he is trying to talk Minneapolis-based Medtronic into testing and marketing the device for this use. It all started with a relatively routine operation for Meloy, who was trying to help a patient with severe and untreatable back pain. ``She had had a number of back surgeries for degenerative disk disease and fusion surgery,'' Meloy said. He was trying Medtronic's spinal cord stimulator to see if it might work in her case. ``These people are either suffering a lot or there is certainly a place for narcotics to be used.'' The surgeon has to place an electrode very precisely in the patient's spine. The idea is to find the specific nerve bundle that is carrying his or her pain signals to the brain. It requires some trial and error and sometimes, Meloy said, the surgeon hurts a patient, who will groan or cry out. At first he thought this had happened with this patient. SHE MADE A ``DIFFERENT'' SOUND ``But the sound that she made was a little bit different. I asked her what it was,'' he said. That was when she recommended he teach her husband the technique. ``The next day in the operating room, the nurses were all asking me how one gets that,'' Meloy deadpanned. Meloy said he repositioned the electrode and was able to help the patient's pain. ``We able to reduce her narcotics usage by about a half,'' he said. He was not able to offer her a dual use of the pacemaker-sized device, which is implanted under the skin. The device works not to block pain but to change the way the patient perceives it. ``Instead of feeling pain, they feel what most people describe as a buzzing sensation in the affected area,'' Meloy said. ``It's not so much a distraction as a change in perception. You are altering what they feel.'' This seemed to work the same way in pushing the a patient's orgasm button. ``Yes, she literally got a buzz,'' Meloy sighed. ``Yes, we turned her on. The puns can go on and on.'' But he hopes to turn this to a serious use. ``Once you get past the giggles and smirks, as far as orgasmic dysfunction goes, it is a very real problem. People don't like to talk about it. But if we are going to utilize a device like this, it would be to allow people to have more of a normal life than some sort of supernormal life.'' In other words, no ``Orgasmatron'' as featured in the 1973 Woody Allen movie ``Sleeper.'' Meloy hopes he could develop the device for temporary use, to retrain a patient's sexual response. ``You could just get them back in the groove or whatever.'' Then the device could be used outside the body via a catheter. But Meloy stressed it was no toy. ``Even for pain management patients we certainly exhaust all other possibilities before we start utilizing this type of technique,'' he said. Will it work on all kinds of people, men as well as women? ``I observed it twice,'' Meloy said. ``I hang out with other people who do pain management, and I have heard of it working with men as well,'' he said. ``Is it reproducible? I sure hope so.'' ** A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed.

[CTRL] Fwd: Office of the Sheriff???
So, I thought I would pull up stuff on Fred Springmeier today and suddenlythe above is all I could get.yesterday I had read some of his stuff prior to the story on his arrest - but it was under material on Knights Templar and bloodlines of Kennedy - and the information contained therein was wrong and maybe even lies for Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy's line is our line through Lord Thomas Fitzgerald and this I knew of the Fitzgerald connection for many, many years prior to death of JFK and back to when I was 4 or 5 my mother would speak of the Fitzgerald curse - and masonic matters. So I kept wondering why suddenly am I only able to get this informationo here - and it is out ofo my state, Ohio... After many attempts to find this stuff I had yesterday and day before, I finally read this stuff and noted the list of the Sheriff's at the end...Sheriff's are very important people - and a Fitzgerald had signed the Magna Carta and this is how I ran into Fredls name off and on connected to this bloodline stuff. So the name of the Sheriff in this one time frame, was Fred Springmeiernow note this - there have been illuminati investigators in this area for a long long time back to when I got into this stuff and the former Grand Dragon of the KKK had given me Illuminati Records an a bood Who Is Murdering Angola for nobody else seemed to care.later he was also arrested for gun running between Canada which surprised me but he was a brilliant man. Now this Springmeier used an alias did he not? What if he is a plant for I say this, wish I could bring that stuff up I had previously but the only thing I can bring up today is this. Not being paranoid yet - when that kept coming up I decided to stay home and be quiet. And then I thought of that Meyer Lansky Hit Man - living in a trailor on the farm of this one doctor who was into guns, murder, with HOffa for a year and I was told got Hoffa away to Canada (or drumped him with the fishies).but tht killer was wearing an officia Deputy Sheriff's Uniform the night the unholy three murdered a black doctor - when golly gee they only wanted to castrate the guy. What is wrong here - is Fred Springmeier really Fred Springmeier? And if he was stupid enough to grow marijuana - who rat finked however there was another raid of a similar type the same night. What about Joe Six Pack..now he only had a copy of the constitution with him day they put him in the slammer and a six pack no doubt Ah when night falls and the shadows flee away Anyway, read this list of Sheriffs..creepy, huh.but Springmeier did put some information that was NOT accurate and the reason I know is this - they are family these Fitzgeralds and this guy had information on web saying they were Italian? You got to be kiddingmaybe it was just a link but he said Illuminati Bloodlines - Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy had same ancestors as mine in Limerick - do not know omuch about the Kennedy's except they were all murdered virtually - ah but there is always one who will survive - the idea is to demoralize a country and by systematic murders of these famous bloodlines - well that is how the scum also rises but then there will always be a new moon down the road. Saba Is Fred Springmeier a plant? Nice way to pass on information without drawing too much attention...or is he a victim? If that is true about the marijuana plants - then that guy had really taken roots. The Office of Sheriff The office of Sheriff was first established in 1066AD by the Normans. The word "Sheriff" was derived from "Shire" (the equivalent of today's County) and "Rieve" (chief law enforcer). Thus, the term "Shire Rieve" was eventually shortened to simply "Sheriff". At the same time the title of Constable was also created and this was the position of keeper of the Rieve's stable of horses. Sheriff and Constable were the first two titles for police officers in America, and each owe their origins to English ancestry. Thomas Jefferson, in his work called "The Value of Constitutions," wrote, "...the office of Sheriff is the most important of all the executive offices of the country." After two hundred years, experience has proven that the perspective of Jefferson and other founding fathers is just as valid today as it was when they first perceived of how a free society could best be constructed. The office of Sheriff is certainly significant, and was in fact the first county office established in the United States. Some very outstanding Americans have held the office of County Sheriff, from the earliest days down to our present era. George Washington's father was an early Sheriff in Colonial Virginia. The history of the position and functions of a Sheriff, prior to establishment of the position in America, can reportedly be traced to provisions of the Magna Carta in England, in the year 1215. The Sheriffs of America have played a significant role in the history of our Nation, and the

So here is item on Fritz Springmeier - put in under Fred and Fritz and then put in Illuminati Bloodlines. So - this man uses the bible a lot and I am wondering one of two things: to what Secret Society does he belong - in high school and college fraternities in particular the ones once outlawed in Ohio who use Greek - all have secret handshakes and these kids are Sons of the Mafia no doubt Wonder if this man knows of the bible calendar code? Have a feeling he may but has never seen it for even my MI6 friend had not seen t only heard of it and this was in 1970 that I hooked up with this individual. So I reproduce this item - but if that is true this guy drew marijuana then he is a frutcake - did he ever hear of "low profile" when it comes to breaking laws - High profile on web is one thing, but high profile when writing as he does - so under Illuminati I am again picking up Fritz aka Fred aka whoever nothing on the alias but I am Curious Yellowbird and I would like to know more of this man...is he a plant or is he for realif he grew Marijuana the guy is a fruitcake. Saba Deeper Insights into the Illuminati Formula Part I How the control comes about by Fritz Springmeier Part II How help comes about by Cisco Wheeler Important Explanation of Contents A successful treasure hunter of the sea said, "You have to convince others of what you are looking for, and be incredibly persistent in looking for it." I, Fritz, could really identify with what he was saying. I have searched for truth like a treasure hunter, I have sifted the dusty pages of documents, like a patient miner panning for gold. How far deep are you willing to search for truth? Cisco and I feel we are accountable to tell you the whole truth as far as we know it, what you do with that is up to you. This book will explain many occult ideas and beliefs, many of them never before publicly revealed. There is an important reason why these occult ideas and beliefs are introduced, we need to study our enemy and know how he thinks. The U.S. Army used indian scouts to track the indians. Gen. MacArthur learned everything he could about the Japanese so that he could defeat them. Christ was extremely savvy as to Satan's tricks. The Apostle said, "We are not ignorant of Satan's devices." Time and time again, this author has seen powerful Masonic clergyman do their handshakes, their codewords, etc. in front of the common people and the Christians do not catch on. On the one hand the Christians want proof of what is happening, but on the other hand, they are not willing to learn how to identify what the opposition is doing. Such doublemindedness has contributed to the churches becoming, sad-to-say, fronts for the Illuminati. I have included the Illuminati's understanding of things and other occult beliefs, because I have witnessed that knowing these things can be helpful in defeating the mind-control. If I were trying to help a refugee who was trying to escape the Yakuza, I would study the tactics of the Yakuza. If I were trying to free a witch of JuJuism, then I would learn about JuJuism. I strongly recommend that readers always stand on the foundation of the Word of God, and that they use the Word of God as a refreshing bath to cleanse their minds. This author has found tapes with scriptures to be an encouragement. Some Christians have criticized this author for the content of the books, because it doesn't portray the lighter side of Christianity (whatever that is). It seems some people only want enough of God to to make them cozy, but not so much that their sleep would be disturbed. Some have even gone so far as to claim this author is not a Christian because the content of the books is so heavy. It is sad that many Christians do not know their own Scriptures nor where hope comes from. True hope is given by the Spirit of God, because hope is the vantage point that the Spirit of God has for the situation. A therapist may be optimistic about a victim of mind-control, but the therapist's optimism only turns to sincere hope when they become involved personally with the tragedies of the victim through caring and prayer. The Biblical hope is not a warm fuzzy that has its head in the sand pretending that everything is "rosy and peachy". Quite to the contrary, if we look at the following portion of scripture, we will see the Word of God portraying trauma after trauma with a light still at the end of the tunnel! Such is the power of our hope, that we have hope in spite of how fierce evil manifests. Lamentations chapter 1 1 I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. 3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. 4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. 5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. 6 He hath set me in dark

This will go a long way into explaining "Who is Wackenhut and what are they up to?" Not mentioned in this article is the fact that Wackenhut is also in charge of security at Area-51, the place where UFO activity has often been sighted. It's being posted for informational purposes only. What? A big private company - one with a board of former CIA, FBI and Pentagon officials; one in charge of protecting Nuclear-Weapons facilities, nuclear reactors, the Alaskan oil pipeline and more than a dozen American embassies abroad; one with long-standing ties to a radical ring-wing organization; one with 30,000 men and women under arms - secretly helped IRAQ in its effort to obtain sophisticated weapons? And fueled unrest in Venezuela? This is all the plot of a new best-selling thriller, right? Or the ravings of some overheated conspiracy buff,right? Right? WRONG. In the winter of 1990, David Ramirez, a 24 year-old member of the Special Investigations Division of the Wackenhut Corporation, was sent by his superiors on an unusual mission. Ramirez a former Marine Corps sergeant based in Miami, was told to fly immediately to San Antonio along with three other members of SID-a unit, known as founder and chairman George Wackenhut's "private FBI," that provided executive protection and conducted undercover investigations and sting operations. Once they arrived, they rented two gray Ford Tauruses and drove four hours to a desolate town on the Mexican border called Eagle Pass. There, just after dark, they met two truck drivers who had been flown in from Houston. Inside a nearby warehouse was an 18 -wheel tractor-trailer, which the two truck drivers and the four Wackenhut agents in their rented cars were supposed to transport to Chicago. "My instructions were very clear," Ramirez recalls. "Do not look into the trailer, secure it, and make sure it safely gets to Chicago." It went without saying that no one else was supposed to look in the trailer, either, which is why the Wackenhut men were armed with fully loaded Remington 870 pump-action shotguns. The convoy drove for 30 hours straight, stopping only for gas and food. Even then, one of the Wackenhut agents had to stay with the truck, standing by one of the cars, its trunk open, shotgun within easy reach. "Whenever we stopped, I bought a shot glass with the name f the town on it," Ramirez recalls. "I have glasses from Oklahoma City, Kansas City, St. Louis." A little before 5:00 on the morning of the third day, they delivered the trailer to a practically empty warehouse outside Chicago. A burly man who had been waiting for them on the loading dock told them to take off the locks and go home, and that was that. They were on a plane back to Miami that afternoon. Later Ramirez's superiors told him-as they told other SID agents about similar midnight runs-that the trucks contained $40 million worth of food stamps. After considering the secrecy, the way the team was assembled and the orders not to stop or open the truck, Ramirez decided he didn't believe that explanation. Neither do we. One reason is simple: A Department of Agriculture official simply denies that food stamps are shipped that way. "Someone is blowing smoke," he says. Another reason is that after a six-month investigation, in the course of which we spoke to more than 300 people, we believe we know what the truck did contain-equipment necessary for the manufacture of chemical weapons-and where it was headed: to Saddam Hussein's Iraq. And the Wackenhut Corporation-a publicly traded company with strong ties to the CIA and federal contracts worth $200 million a year-was making sure Saddam would be geting his equipment intact. The question is why. In 1954, George Wackenhut, then a 34-year old former FBI agent, joined up with three other former FBI agents to open a company in Miami called Special Agent Investigators Inc. The partnership was neither successful nor harmonious-George once knocked partner Ed Dubois unconscious to end a disagreement over the direction the company would take-and in 1958, George bought out his partners. However capable Wackenhut's detectives may have been at their work, George Wackenhut had two personal attributes that were instrumental in the company's growth. First, he got along exceptionally well with important politicians. He was a close ally of Florida governor Claude Kirk, who hired him to combat organized crime in the state; and was also friends with Senator George Smathers, an intimate of John F. Kennedy's. It was Smathers who provided Wackenhut with his big break when the senator's law firm helped the company find a loophole in the Pinkerton law, the 1893 federal statute that had

Shaylor says that the Feds' file on Lennon contains hand-written lyrics by the late Beatle, plus details of his immigration battles, a supposed $75,000 donation to a left-wing group, and a wanted poster in case it was decided to arrest him. The former agent also maintains that British artists, including dole-form monikered UB40 and the Sex Pistols were under surveillance by MI5. He says, "I saw something from the late seventies called 'Subversion In Contemporary Music'. It was cuttings about bands like the Sex Pistols - but also UB40 strangely enough!" But Shaylor, who campaigns for top secret information to be declassified, takes a cynical view of the surveillance. He says, "You can imagine some Colonel Blimp character compiling this file, whereas anybody with half a brain knew the Sex Pistols talked a good talk - wrote a lot of songs about it, but when it came to political activism did absolutely nothing!"

My husband is a licensed clinical social worker with a specialty in addictionology. He has been listening to my rantings for a long time and yesterday announced that he noticed that the tobacco industry fits the DSM-IV criteria for having antisocial personality disorder. Specifically, the diagnosis requires a person to exhibit at least three of the following tendencies (and I've highlighted the three I feel apply to the tobacco industry): 1. Failure to conform to social norm with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest. 2. Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure. 3. Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead. 4. Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assualts. 5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others. 6. Consistent irresponsibility, as indiated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations. 7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another. Increasingly, corporations are afforded the rights of persons in our society: engaging in free speech, participating in elections, obtaining and holding property, engaging in contracts, etc. We posit that, like people, corporations can also exhibit personality disorders. One would further suppose that the executives are responsible for the corporation's errant behavior, and thus are fully accountable for it. A person who poses a danger to self or others can can be committed to an institution for evaluation by someone in a position of authority, for example a psychiatrist, physician or police officer. Once committed, they are held for 72 hours to assess whether or not they do indeed pose a threat to self or others. In order to commit someone, a person in authority fills out a form (in Colorado, for example, the form is called an "M-1") and then the patient gets picked up, taken to the hospital or other facility, and confined there for evaluation. If they are determined to pose a continuing threat to self or others, they are ordered to have further treatment. So I pose the question: Could someone in a position of authority, for example the Surgeon General or an Attorney General (perhaps even a state attorney general), issue an "order to commit" for the executives of the major tobacco companies, have them held and evaluated in a psychiatric facility with an eye towards their company's continued intent to knowingly harm others?

Hello Brothers and Sisters:
Thank you for responding to "Black Capitalism" pt. 2.
I am glad to see us really discussing these matters,
which are not in any way mere abstract questions, but
rather go to the fundamental question of what kind of
society do we really want? One which has classes of
desperately poor and excessively rich, one which has
all economic power in the hands of a white [or some
day Black] elite, or one where the needs of the people
are met and we are all on the same economic level.
I do not accept *elitist* arguments of a "talented
tenth", "better class of Blacks", or the "incorrigible
poor". This type of argument shows that it is only
thinking "within the box", that is within the confines
of the present capitalist system, which *creates*
crime and deprivation. Capitalism creates inequality,
and poverty creates a lack of culture. Somebody said
to me a long time ago, ignorance is merely lack of
knowledge, while stupidity is total foolishness. Many
of our people are politically ignorant to the workings
of this system, and they are being debased, but they
are not stupid. Ain't no mystery to this ya'll, don't
get to think that you are something special, you could
be the same as any of the least of our people.
Remove the conditions of oppression, and any of our
people in the most degrading of conditions, can ascend
to any social station in life, even higher than many
of you looking down your noses at the poor. They can
be the next Malcolm X, Martin Luther King or whomever
we exalt as Black leadership. Middle class Black
people have got to put aside their own class blinders
and prejudices against their own people. It is
oppressive, plantation thinking ("house nigger vs.
field niggers"), and keeps us from accepting our
people where they are.
Seems to me, our task as Black activists, people who
say they love Black people, is to fight for the uplift
of *all our people*, not feed them to the white
government and its prisons and graveyards. We cannot
get our liberation without fighting for the liberation
of the poor, so let's organize the 'hood.

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] after prohibition
if someone has already posted this, please disregard.. January 13, 2001 Make Drugs Legal for Adults, Says Former Cop by David Klinger David Klinger is professor of criminology at the University of Missouri. This article is adapted from his chapter in the new Cato Institute book, "After Prohibition: An Adult Approach to Drug Policies in the 21st Century." ST. LOUIS--When I joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1980, I was a strong supporter of the notion that illegal drugs should stay that way and that the enforcement of drug laws should be a top priority. But my views quickly changed once I hit the streets. Assigned to the rugged 77th Street Division in the heart of South Central, I saw firsthand the social problems one could find in any community awash in the trafficking and use of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other controlled substances. During my first months on patrol, after handling hundreds of drug calls and arresting scores of people for possessing various illegal substances, I began to doubt what my peers and I were doing. I saw violent criminals walking the streets because the jail space they rightfully deserved was occupied by nonviolent drug offenders. When we carted small-time drug dealers off to prison, I saw other sellers quickly step in to fill the void. I started to view most people involved with drugs either as broken souls who made self-destructive choices or as harmless people who indulged their appetites in moderationnot as crooks who needed to be punished. I tried to reconcile what I saw with my views about firmly enforcing drug laws. At first I accepted the arguments of politicians, policy wonks and my peers who asserted that ever harsher laws and firmer enforcement would turn back the tide of illegal drugs. But by the end of my tenure with the LAPD I came to believe that marijuana--a drug I had never seen anyone overdose on or influence anyone to do anything more violent than attack a bag of potato chips--should be legalized. I held a bifurcated stance toward illicit drugs--legalize pot but strictly enforce existing laws against the rest of the stuff--through my time with the Redmond, Wash., police department and into my graduate studies. As the years passed, however, I saw a nation fighting harder, devoting more money and jailing increasing numbers of individuals--all the while falling further behind in the war on drugs. The price of the drugs didn't rise with increased interdiction, usage rates didn't fall and the number of lives damaged or destroyed by chronic use, overdose and drug-related criminal activity mounted. No matter how much I disliked the idea, I became convinced the United States should legalize illicit drugs. Ever since I concluded we should call off the hounds, I have discussed my ideas with people in many walks of life. Interestingly, both my hardiest supporters and my harshest critics come from the same group: my law enforcement associates. Many of them on both sides of the debate share my views about the futility of the drug war and agree it carries a substantial downside. What generally separates those who agree with me from those who don't is their take on a question they almost invariably put to me: Won't legalizing drugs lead more people to take them and thus make things worse? I do not know whether legalizing drugs will increase their popularity. But I suspect that if we approach legalization thoughtfully and pursue a sensible post-legalization strategy, then the drug rolls will not swell. They may in fact decline. But even if more people do take drugs in the wake of legalization, we would live in a society where citizens suffer far less from the predatory crimes spawned by the illicit drug trade. In the end, we cannot protect free adults from their own poor choices, and we should not use the force of law to try. In a free society negative consequences befall people who use their freedom to do foolish things. Victimless self-destructive behavior is its own punishment, not the business of the legal system. Index of Daily Commentaries | Cato Institute Home | © 2001 Cato Institute After Prohibition: An Adult Approach to Drug Policies in the 21st Century Edited by Timothy Lynch More than 10 years ago, federal officials boldly claimed that they would create a 'drug-free America by 1995.' To reach that objective, Congress spent billions on police, prosecutors, drug courts, and prisons. Despite millions of arrests and countless seizures, America is not drug free. Illegal drugs are as readily available today as ever before. Drug prohibition has proven to be a costly failure. Like alcohol prohibition, drug prohibition has created more problems than it has solved. The drug war has destroyed the lives of inner-city residents, corrupted law enforcement, and distorted our foreign policy. Yet drug prohibition is still seen as a viable strategy by our political leaders. Paradoxically, alternative drug policiessuch as

from the wharton school. New Economy shakeout is old story From Knowledge@Wharton Special to CNET News.com March 2, 2001, 10:00 a.m. PT Still wondering why the dot-com bubble burst? And whats going to happen to all those smaller bubbles, the approximately 12,000 surviving dot-coms, many of them afloat solely on their last round of financing? Back in November 1999, Wharton marketing professor George Day was publicly predicting the impending e-commerce shakeout, although as he himself says, he didnt imagine just how swiftly it would happen. In a paper entitled, "Shakeouts in the New Economy," Day and co-author Adam Fein, president of Pembroke Consulting, analyze the causes of the bust and tell how to pick which companies will survive the downturn. Based on research on dozens of Old Economy shakeouts--from the invention of the railroad to the advent of personal computers--Day holds that this New Economy shakeout is not much different. "Far too many players come in, theres lots of excitement, high visibility, low barriers to entry--all those conditions applied. It was like every other shakeout we studied, just a lot faster, magnified by free-flowing capital, incubators and a tendency for everyone to converge in the same business model," he says. The critical error committed by most dot-com start-ups was to misidentify the type of market they were entering. Day draws what he feels is a key distinction between a "breakthrough" and a "re-formed" market. Breakthrough applications create new products or services that would be impossible without the new technology; they give rise to totally new industries. "These situations are rare; less than 10 percent of new products are truly new-to-the-world products," including, for example, televisions, xerography and artificial fibers. By contrast, he says, re-formed applications, while they might enable cost reductions or other improvements, dont change the basic functioning and purpose of the existing market. Most New Economy start-ups thought they had a once-in-a-lifetime breakthrough with their new exchanges and facilitators, "so they created what they thought was a breakthrough business model." The reality, Day says, was more modest. He offers a cautionary tale from the recent biotechnology phenomenon. Many industry analysts believed these small start-ups would eventually replace the pharmaceutical giants. However, says Day, biotechnology was seen as a breakthrough market when it was actually a re-formed one: While the new technology improved the drug discovery process, it didnt cause a wholesale redefinition of the pharmaceutical business model. As a result, most biotechnology start-ups--lacking expertise in sales, marketing, regulatory processes, distribution channels and management--were acquired or failed outright. The same holds true for many dot-coms: The belief that they were entering a breakthrough was their downfall. "Misdiagnosing the market has led to three persistent myths about the sources of competitive advantage in online markets," Day says: Dispelling myths Myth No. 1: First movers will dominate. True in a breakthrough market, not true in a re-formed one. B2B hubs, for one, have discovered that their greatest competition is not other B2B hubs but existing ways of doing business. "First mover advantage" versus another exchange is meaningless if customers prefer their in-place system of buyers, distributors and others. Myth No. 2: Behavior will change quickly. In re-formed markets, customers are slow to abandon older systems that work, even if theyre not optimally efficient. For example, many B2B auction sites are finding that business customers care more about getting the right product at the right time than about saving a few percentage points on price. And Internet banks are finding out the hard way that consumers are reluctant to give up their ATMs and move their household banking online. Myth No. 3: Non-traditional pricing structures will be readily accepted. According to Day, although the Internet has enabled radically new pricing schemes, "most consumers still perceive a system of prices posted by sellers to be more convenient and fair." He cites the much-reduced status of Priceline.com, with its revolutionary pricing policies, as an outstanding example. He also highlights the waning of "transaction fees" by B2B exchanges--a system of charging sellers 2 percent to 5 percent of gross sales as payment for matching them with buyers. Competition is quickly cutting these fees to marginal or even lower cost, and exchange operators are transforming their pricing models into more familiar forms. Ventro, a pioneer of the transaction fee approach, has become a software and service company. Dot-com Darwinism Day predicts that the 10 percent to 20 percent of dot-com companies left standing after the shakeout will fall into two categories: strictly-Web start-ups that managed to capitalize on their early mover advantages in true

[CTRL] Behind the sacred walls of Yale's secret societies
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.yaleherald.com/frosh/blue/p50societies.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.yaleherald.com/frosh/blue/p50societies.html" Behind the sacred walls of Yale's secret societ /A - Behind the sacred walls of Yale's secret societies By Molly Ball and Emily Bell George Bush, DC '48, William F. Buckley, Jr., DC '50, and Garry Trudeau, DC '70; some of the most illustrious Elis have been members of Yale's infamous secret societies. Recent exposure in the big-budget thriller Skulls and a more intellectual Atlantic Monthly article have only added to the mystique and notoriety of Yale's exclusive societies. Although associations such as Skull and Bones, Book and Snake, and Scroll and Key are inextricably linked to the Yale name, these societies play a small part in the lives of most undergraduates, since they consist solely of a few seniors. Nonetheless, the looming presence of their various "tombs" and the mystique they inspire make secret societies an intriguing part of Yale life. The windowless tomb of Skull and Bones, Yale's oldest secret society, looms over High Street. There are reportedly about a dozen senior-only societies, only a few of which have tombs. The oldest, Skull and Bones, was founded in 1832. Not all secret societies date back that far; some formed in response to the entrenched elitism of their better-known counterparts. Most choose juniors and conduct interviews at the end of each year (though some do accept applications). You might not even realize the societies exist until Tap Night, an April evening during which societies invite select juniors to join their ranks. Cloaked and hooded seniors lead the blindfolded "taps" around campus in obscure initiation ceremonies that often involve screaming and bizarre behavior. This year, one tap had to hump a pole while being fed Nilla Wafers and exclaiming, "Scooby Snacks!" The dark, ancient "tombs" where the societies meet add to their air of bizarre mystery. Hardly noticeable to the casual passer-by, the tombs have few or no windows and are enclosed by locked gates. You rarely see anyone go in or out, and the details of what transpires inside are kept as secret as possible. Rumor has it that Skull and Bones has the highest water bill in all of New Havenenough to fill several swimming pools every month. Rumpus, Yale's campus tabloid, routinely reports on societies' alleged naked parties and debauched rituals. Most societies meet Thursdays and Sundays for dinner. Sometimes a guest from the community, such as a professor or local businessman, is invited to speak. Often, a member presents his or her "autobiography," revealing personal detailsfrom childhood scars to sexual exploitsusing props or slides. "Normally you become friends with people and then get to know them; here you get to know people and then you become friends with them," one tapped junior said. All the elitism that surrounds traditional secret societies, however, is missing in the Pundits. A mock secret society, the Pundits ridicule the stuffy atmosphere that their counterparts cherish. A traditional Pundit prank is the once-a-semester streak through Cross Campus and Sterling Memorial Libraries during finals week. The group also once nearly succeeded in impersonating the all-senior Whiffenpoofs a cappella group on The Today Show. The purpose of secret societies is not simply clandestine fun and gamesmany members join for the promise of getting to know people they ordinarily would never meet. "There's just 15 or 16 people depending on each other," one society member said. "Everyone starts on level ground." The all-male, Old Blue mold is no longer dominant, and most societies strive to represent the diverse Yale community. No matter how hard secret societies try to project a politically correct image, they are undeniably exclusionist. Tapped juniors have been known to turn down bids from even the most prestigious societies. One tapped junior who did accept was nonetheless hesitant; he said, "I was worried that I might feel it was too elitist, that it would mean I wouldn't be able to spend as much time with my current group of friends." However, for some of the "chosen" ones, it is just this exclusivity that makes secret societies so appealing. According to a senior society member, "The exclusive element of it makes you have a closer relationship more quickly." Back to Something Blue...

[CTRL] CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Secret Societies
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14071b.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14071b.htm"CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Secret Societies/A - Secret Societies A designation of which the exact meaning has varied at different times. I. DEFINITION "By a secret society was formerly meant a society which was known to exist, but whose members and places of meetings were not publicly known. Today, we understand by a secret society, a society with secrets, having a ritual demanding an oath of allegiance and secrecy, prescribing ceremonies of a religious character, such as the use of the Bible, either by extracts therefrom, or by its being placed an altar within a lodge-room, by the use of prayers, of hymns, of religious signs and symbols, special funeral services, etc." (Rosen, "The Catholic Church and Secret Societies," p. 2). Raich gives a more elaborate description: "Secret societies are those organizations which completely conceal their rules, corporate activity, the names of their members, their signs, passwords and usages from outsiders or the 'profane.' As a rule, the members of these societies are bound to the strictest secrecy concerning all the business of the association by oath or promise or word of honour, and often under the threat of severe punishment in case of its violation. If such secret society has higher and lower degrees, the members of the higher degree must be equally careful to conceal their secrets from their brethren of a lower degree. In certain secret societies, the members are not allowed to know even the names of their highest officers. Secret societies were founded to promote certain ideal aims, to be obtained not by violent but by moral measures. By this, they are distinguished from conspiracies and secret plots which are formed to attain a particular object through violent means. Secret societies may be religious, scientific, political or social" (Kirchenlex., V, p. 519). Narrowing the definition still more to the technical meaning of secret societies (societates clandestinae) in ecclesiastical documents, Archbishop Katzer in a Pastoral (20 Jan., 1895) says: "The Catholic Church has declared that she considers those societies illicit and forbidden which (1) unite their members for the purpose of conspiring against the State or Church; (2) demand the observance of secrecy to such an extent that it must be maintained even before the rightful ecclesiastical authority; (3) exact an oath from their members or a promise of blind and absolute obedience; (4) make use of a ritual and ceremonies that constitute them sects." II. ORIGIN Though secret societies, in the modern and technical sense, did not exist in antiquity, yet there were various organizations which boasted an esoteric doctrine known only to their members, and carefully concealed from the profane. Some date societies of this kind back to Pythagoras (582-507 B.C.). The Eleusinian Mysteries, the secret teachings of Egyptian and Druid hierarchies, the esoteric doctrines of the Magian and Mithraic worshippers furnished material for such secret organizations. In Christian times, such heresies as the Gnostic and Manichaean also claimed to possess a knowledge known only to the illuminated and not to be shared with the vulgar. Likewise, the enemies of the religious order of Knights Templars maintained that the brothers of the Temple, while externally professing Christianity, were in reality pagans who veiled their impiety under orthodox terms to which an entirely different meaning was given by the initiated. Originally, the various guilds of the Middle Ages were in no sense secret societies in the modern acceptation of the term, though some have supposed that symbolic Freemasonry was gradually developed in those organizations. The fantastic Rosicrucians are credited with something of the nature of a modern secret society, but the association, if such it was, can scarcely be said to have emerged into the clear light of history. III. MODERN ORGANIZATIONS Secret societies in the true sense began with symbolic Freemasonry about the year 1717 in London (see MASONRY). This widespread oath-bound association soon became the exemplar or the parent of numerous other fraternities, nearly all of which have some connexion with Freemasonry, and in almost every instance were founded by Masons. Among these may be mentioned the Illuminati, the Carbonari, the Odd-Fellows, the Knights of Pythias, the Sons of Temperance and similar societies whose number is legion. Based on the same principles as the secret order to which they are affiliated are the women-auxiliary lodges, of which almost every secret society has at least one. These secret societies for women have also their rituals, their oaths, and their degrees. Institutions of learning are also infected with the glamour of secret organizations and the "Eleusis" of Chi Omega (Fayetteville, Ark.) of 1 June, 1900, states that there are twenty-four Greek letter

'Illuminism' is applied to the process of direct spiritual and esoteric enlightenment by means of revelation from a higher source or the inspiration of human reason. It is associated with various occult sects and secret orders, including the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons. Adam Weishaupt, a professor of law, founded the most highly organized sect, the Order of Illuminati, in Bavaria in 1776. Weishaupt may have created the order because he aspired to join the Masons, which he did in 1777. In 1780 he was joined by Baron von Knigge, a respected and high-level Mason, which enabled him to incorporate Masonic elements into his organizational structure and rites. The Order aimed to spread a new religion based on enlightened reason derived from direct contact with Divine Reason. Illuminism was also antimonarchial, and its identification with republicanism gained it many members throughout Germany. In 1784 Masonry was denounced to the Bavarian government as politically dangerous, which led to the suppression of all secret orders, including the Masons and Illuminati. The Order of Illuminati included such distinguished figures as Goethe, Cagliostro, and Franz Anton Mesmer. Related audio: Front Men of The Illuminati. Illuminati Audio CD.

[CTRL] What's really wrong with Skull and Bones - Tomb of Their Own
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.thenewrepublic.com/041700/foer041700.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.thenewrepublic.com/041700/foer041700.html" TNR Online | Tomb of Their Own by Franklin Foer/A - What's really wrong with Skull and Bones. Tomb of Their Own By FRANKLIN FOER Issue date: 04.17.00 Post date: 04.06.00 "A secret society so powerful it can give you anything you desire ... at a price." --trailer for The Skulls The skulls is a movie about George W. Bush's wild youth. Of course, it's not billed that way. No Hollywood studio would explicitly make a picture about a current presidential contender. But the subject of The Skulls is clear enough: the corrupting influence of a secret society, blatantly modeled after Yale's notorious Skull and Bones, of which Bush was once a devoted member. The depiction of Skull and Bones in the film--just the latest addition to a minor industry of Bonesiana--pretty much captures the prevailing media view of the institution: an aristocratic, all-powerful cabal. Membership, at least according to the movie, entitles the Bonesman to $20,000, a sports car, and a harem of gorgeous women. The Skulls control the university and the local cops. The society's alumni--senators and judges--sit around sipping champagne, chitchatting about hunting, and conspiring to suppress their enemies. Throughout the film, the Skulls' critics fall back on the same mantra: "If it's secret and it's elite, it can't be good." That's half right. Actually, the problem with the Skull and Bones of today may be that it's not forthrightly elitist enough. Skull and Bones, along with Yale's other secret societies, isn't the fusty, preppy, creepy conspiracy it once was. These societies ditched most of the nude wrestling, weird rituals, and boarding-school elitism long ago. In fact, they've spent the past decade running hard in the other direction. To put it crudely, Yale's secret societies--once ground zero of the Eastern establishment--are now high temples of political correctness, the ultimate in Ivy League identity politics. This year's class of Bonespeople has more women than men and as many African Americans as WASPS. Conservatives are scarce. Skull and Bones has democratized--but not in a very productive way. Back when the societies were proudly, offensively elitist, they had a purpose and a paternalistic sense of duty. Bones bragged that it would shape the characters of those who would shape the world. Today, the students in Skull and Bones find that kind of noblesse oblige deeply embarrassing. And, in their efforts to inoculate themselves against charges of elitism, the new elites have directed their energy to less grandiose concerns: namely, themselves. Skull and Bones, once a group for public-minded elites, has become the exact opposite--group therapy. Skull and Bones' roots can be traced to 1826, when a New York bricklayer named William Morgan disappeared just as he was preparing to publish a book that would unveil the secrets of his Masonic lodge. The Morgan case grabbed headlines and sparked a national backlash against all secret societies. In a populist whirl, Harvard and Yale Universities forced their most prominent secret society, Phi Beta Kappa, to ditch its secrecy. The Yale men, angry at having their mystery stripped away, rebelled and created Skull and Bones in 1832. Again, the faculty campaigned to stamp out the clandestine club, but this merely increased its cachet. By the 1850s, when it built its spooky, windowless sepulchre on High Street, Bones had become an exclusive hangout for Yale's top students. They'd get together to perform goofy gothic rituals with coffins, robes, and mud, but mainly they would talk about trendy literature that wasn't covered in Yale's classrooms. Eventually, the guys who couldn't win spots in Bones went off and started their own secret societies. Harvard students also responded to the demise of Phi Beta Kappa by establishing their own exclusive havens: the finals clubs. But these were never more than a Gold Coast, a place for the richest students to socialize with one another and turn up their noses at the rest of the student body. Skull and Bones, on the other hand, steered a more high-minded course. Even when it admitted only men from Groton and Hotchkiss and some of its members touted eugenics, Bones bragged of being a meritocracy. If you excelled in extracurricular activities--as editor of the Yale Daily News or captain of the football team, for example--Skull and Bones tapped you. It's an ethos celebrated in the 1911 novel Stover at Yale, which explains that election to Bones "stands as a reward for merit here." Men spent their college careers positioning themselves for a tap. Rejection was crushing. Or, as Sinclair Lewis melodramatically put it, "Some good men always carried away scars. And the finality and exclusiveness of the choosing created and would continue to create a faint and enduring fault line in the Yale brotherhood." And,

-Caveat Lector- Published on Friday, March 2, 2001 in the St Paul Pioneer Press Repealing Rather than Repairing Estate Tax Could Regild America's Gilded Age by Glenda Holste Peter Barnes, a self-made wealthy man, was blunt: ``We have an aristocracy of wealth in this county. Repeal of the estate tax would make that aristocracy hereditary.'' Barnes, founder of Working Assets, a financial services enterprise that ties use of its products to socially responsible giving, is one of the 550-plus signers of Responsible Wealth's ``Call to Preserve the Estate Tax.'' William H. Gates Sr., the co-chair of his son and daughter-in-law's foundation, got the petition rolling. (Gates' commentary opposing repeal appeared on these pages Wednesday.) ``There is no conceivable justification for repeal,'' Barnes said in a briefing with journalists this week. The briefing was conducted by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a progressive economic think tank. The center has just analyzed Internal Revenue Service data on after-tax income in 1998. Most measures of wealth concentration used in the current tax policy debate are not as recent, so the 1998 information shows an arguably more accurate picture of a continuing trend in which the rich get richer -- and do it faster than the rest of us get ahead. The study found that the top 1 percent of tax filers enjoyed an average increase in income of $69,000 in that year. The income growth among this 1 percent group grew 40 percent between 1989 and 1998, eight times faster than for the income of the bottom 90 percent of the U.S. population. Meanwhile, a drop in the capital gains tax helped the 1 percent at the top reduce the percentage of income they paid in federal income taxes from 27.9 percent to 27.1 percent. In his budget speech this week, President Bush devoted only one sentence to his proposal -- a Republican favorite -- to phase out the federal estate tax. Of course, he had a lot of material to cover in a short time. But it is telling that he chose to gloss over the estate tax issue with the stump speech distortion that to tax estates is to tax the money in them twice. Unfair, he says. What would be unfair is to take care of the very rich at the expense of the rest of us. It is possible to reform the estate tax, increasing exemptions, as has been done in the past, to protect the assets of family farms and small businesses. In fact, the exemption -- $675,000 per individual -- is now rising and will be $1 million in 2006, if the law isn't changed. Congress certainly can revisit the amount that protects family businesses without showering the already rich with more cash. In 1997, fewer than 43,000 people of the 2.3 million who died had to pay estate tax. Repeal would reduce taxes by $55.3 billion in 2010, according to Congress' Joint Tax Committee. That's almost a fourth of all the money from the overall tax cut in the Bush plan for that year. Repeal? No need to use an ax where a legislative scalpel will do the job precisely. Still, the mantra from political proponents has been powerful. They call it the ``death tax.'' The implication is that because we all will die, we all will get socked with a confiscatory estate tax. Not so. In 1997, about 2,400 estates -- the largest 5 percent of estates even large enough to be taxable -- paid about half of all the estate tax. If the estate tax had not existed then, each of these 2,400 estates with assets of more than $5 million would have enjoyed an average of $3.5 million in retained assets. Nonprofit groups that do charitable work are very concerned that if the estate tax is repealed, the very wealthy -- who often endow foundations and other large philanthropies rather than just fork over the money in taxes -- would have no incentive as donors. Gary Bass, executive director of OMB Watch, a Washington outfit that keeps track of the White House's fiscal behavior, was in St. Paul this week, arguing the same case as Barnes. The concentration of wealth from repeal, he said, would revive a problem solved almost a century ago when it was apparent that the Gilded Age had opened an income gap of monumental proportions in America. Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressives took this on, resulting in re-establishing the estate tax to keep America from going the way its founders so despised in the English: a rich aristocracy sustained on inherited wealth instead of work; a place where the class system created the very conditions that led Americans to revolt. Even though the train has been rolling during the past few years for repeal of the estate tax and even though Republicans who favor repeal are in the engineer's seat, Bass is optimistic that when the issue is fully evaluated by a wide array of Americans, the estate tax will be reformed, not repealed. ``I think we can win this (battle against repeal),'' Bass said. ``We had a meeting last week of about 150 groups. There is a growing sentiment, among a range of these groups

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.chronicle.duke.edu/story.php?articleID=19382 Click Here: A HREF="http://www.chronicle.duke.edu/story.php?articleID=19382" The Chronicle Online - Secret societies: Do the /A - Secret societies: Do they still haunt the campus?The mystery behind two societies is revealed after many decades of secrets and silenceBy Ellen Mielke University Archives Red Friars from the 1950s and todays mystery society initiate new members. Shhh... it's a secret. You've seen them appear randomly around campus, cloaked in black robes and moving in a seemingly organized pattern, shouting mysterious words and gesturing with their arms. But it is not Halloween they are celebrating. They are the remnants of a culture that used to be prevalent at Duke-secret societies. By far, the grandest era of secret societies at Duke came during the '40s and '50s, when two organizations gained an influential role in campus life. The Order of the Red Friars sprung up in 1913 at Trinity College with the mission of creating a spirit of loyalty and interest in the school. Senior members selected seven new junior initiates during public ceremonies in front of the Chapel. "There was a tradition of a lot of this type of stuff on college campuses," said University Archivist Bill King. "Duke's were really only quasi-secret. People knew who they were." These initiations, or "tappings"-so called because new members were tapped on the back to signify that they had been chosen-usually took place in late spring. One shrouded member would stand in front of the Chapel early in the morning to signify that the tappings would be that day, King said. Soon, students would gather to see who the new members would be. Typically, secret society members were campus leaders, and of no surprise to the rest of the student body. "One of the functions of a university is to foster leadership, and these secret societies were a way of recognizing leaders," said Tom Harkins, associate University archivist. Members of the society included such campus legends as George Allen, William Few, Thomas Southgate, William Wannamaker and Hollis Edens, among numerous others whose names still figure on Duke's campus. The tapping ceremony each year ended the society's public role, however. All activities were kept secret, and many students wondered if the group was active at all. It was not until this decade that an agreement with the Univ ersity to seal the records ended, and the role of the group was revealed. Jenny Robinson/The Chronicle Red Friars from the 1950s and todays mystery society initiate new members. According to minutes from the group's meetings, members of the Red Friars were affiliated with various student organizations, including student government, The Chronicle and the Undergraduate Judicial Board, where they could further the society's aims. During its existence, the group helped create University policies and was, according to the archives, "privy to information not widely known on campus." Harkins said that one of the most mysterious efforts of the group was the creation of the pecularily-placed plaque in front of the Chapel that states the aims of Duke University. Until the society's minutes were unsealed, no one knew who had funded the plaque. One of the more influential steps taken by the group was the founding, in 1925, of the Order of the White Duchy, a female counterpart to their organization. Initially, the Red Friars selected the seven members of the Duchy, but connections between the societies ended after that. The Duchy no longer exists today, but at the time it too helped create University policies and secretly influenced student life. Members were usually student leaders, and past ones include such famous names as Mary Biddle Semans and Elizabeth Dole. The tappings of the White Duchy were also public, and were characteristically performed by senior members wearing white robes. The only other public notice of the group was that members wore white carnations once a month. Harkins said that according to legend, Dole received six white carnations upon being named Secretary of Transportation in 1983. But what happened to the popularity of such groups at Duke? According to archives at Yale University, for example, there are still eight secret societies at Yale, including the infamous Skull and Bones, founded in 1832. "I guess we all like rituals and secrets. To some extent these societies provide opportunities for exclusiveness... but in this day of inclusiveness, I think these societies have found that they don't have a very prominent place," said Sue Wasiolek, assistant dean for student affairs. When the Red Friars disbanded in 1971, the members, as well as alumni, made the collective decision to end the group because it seemed too elitist and student interest had waned. King added that towards the end of both the Duchy's and the Red Friars' existence, they were mocked on campus by groups including The
[CTRL] In Yale-Harvard rivalry, politics is the big game
-Caveat Lector- Click Here: A HREF="http://www.columbiatribune.com/Elections2000/May/250707.asp"In Yale-Harvard rivalry, politics is the big ga /A - Story ran on May 7, 2000 In Yale-Harvard rivalry, politics is the big game NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Its been 88 years since a Yalie and a Harvard man squared off for the ultimate Ivy League bragging right president of the United States. Both lost. That embarrassing outcome is unlikely this year as the schools dust off their pennants for the contest between Yale grad George W. Bush and Harvard alum Al Gore. The rivalry between the prestigious universities has always been intense. Sometimes silly, too. Witness this Harvard newspaper headline about a football game in 1968: "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29." On receiving an honorary degree from Yale, President John Kennedy a Harvard graduate remarked he had the best of both worlds: a Harvard education and a Yale diploma. The scorecard at these elite schools is kept in many ways: Who has the most distinguished faculty, the most Nobel Prizes, the most accomplished graduates? Into this mix go vice president Gore and Texas Gov. Bush. Bush is on the alumni mailing list for both universities, having also graduated from Harvard Business School. But Yale claims the pedigree since Bush got his undergraduate degree there in 1968. His father and grandfather also were Yale men. Gore graduated from Harvard in 1969 with a degree in government. The last time the two schools faced off in a presidential election was 1912, when Harvard grad Theodore Roosevelt and Yale alum William Howard Taft were both candidates. They were beaten by Princetons Woodrow Wilson. The 2000 presidential contenders undergraduate lives were similar in some ways. Both were bench warmers on college teams: Gore played basketball, Bush played baseball. They came from political families but steered away from the radical politics of the day when they got to the Ivy League. They both earned middling grades. "Both got gentlemens Cs, which I found to be very reassuring thats what I got, too," said Victor Ashe, mayor of Knoxville, Tenn., who graduated from Yale a year before Bush and ran against Gore for the Senate in 1984. Ashe, who was the political editor of the Yale Daily News, counts the Bushes as old family friends their families had homes on the same Florida island. Bush was not active in campus politics, or in the anti-Vietnam War activism of the day, Ashe recalled. "He was active on campus, but more in sports and his fraternity," he said. Ashe and Bush were members of Skull and Bones, one of the "secret societies" for Yale seniors. Gore did not belong to such groups at Harvard called "final clubs" there and his family did not have a Harvard legacy going back generations. A roommate, Mike Kapetan of Ann Arbor, Mich., said Gore often portrayed as wooden and wonkish was a smart, original thinker. "The person I read about in the newspaper simply does not exist," Kapetan said. "Hes a real human being to me a lively personality and a stimulating conversationalist." Gore was more involved in politics, including student government as a freshman, but he shied away from the anti-Vietnam protests that captivated H arvard the year he graduated. Unlike most of his college buddies, Gore enlisted in the war after graduation. Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard. Gore acknowledges he smoked marijuana in college. Bush wont go into that, though he has said he has not used illegal drugs in the past 25 years. On both campuses, political support is driven more by ideology than school spirit, students say. Still, bragging rights help, said Marc Stad, president of the Harvard College Democrats. The group has used the Gore-Harvard connection in e-mails and posters to sign up students to help the vice presidents campaign on campus: "Support your fellow Harvardian in his pursuit for the White House." The Yale College Republicans greatly outnumbered by Democrats on campus also have used their candidates background to win election support. "George W. Bush 68" and "Yale is Bush Territory" are favorite slogans, said Patrick Bumatay, a leader of the Texas governors campaign at Yale. "Bushs going to Yale provides a little more motivation to go out and campaign for him," Bumatay said. Copyright 2000 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.yaleherald.com/archive/frosh/1998/blue/continue.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.yaleherald.com/archive/frosh/1998/blue/continue.html" Continuing traditions: Old Blue meets new | Sum /A - Continuing traditions: Old Blue meets new By Molly Ball and Emily Bell At a school that is almost 300 years old, traditions are a significant force in students' lives. But a tradition is just a ritual that has stood the test of time; traditions can be silly or serious, but they're not indelible. Yale's traditions are our foundation, yet they are constantly shifting as old ones die out and new ones are formed. Fresh in the minds of Yale's current undergraduates is the example of Naples Pizzeria. A famed "traditional" eatery on Wall Street, Naples features walls of Yale paraphernalia, cheap beer, greasy pizza, and a dance floor. For years, Yalies flocked there every Thursday night, but in the middle of last year, a new club called Gecko opened on Crown St. Featuring two bars, pool tables, and a bigger, flashier dance floor, the new establishment quickly usurped Naples's place as the premier Thursday night hangout. Now, students head to Gecko, leaving Naples practically deserted on weekends. A more serious tradition changed dramatically in 1969, when women were first admitted to Yale. Today, the Women's Table fountain, designed by Maya Lin, SY '81, ARCH '86, attests to the speed with which Yale made up for lost time. Inscribed on its black granite surface are the number of women at Yale each year, starting with zero in 1701 and ending when the table was built in 1993. (The class of 1999 is the first undergraduate class with more women than men.)Yale now has a Women's Center, women's singing groups, and even all-female secret societies. Yale's buildings embody the conflict between New and Old Blue. When Morse and Stiles were erected in the early 1960s, the modern, concrete-molded buildings caused a stir. Certainly, the peanut brittle structures with no right angles broke with Yale's established tradition of Gothic and Georgian architecture. But today, Yale has embraced these colleges, along with the similarly bold Art and Architecture building and Beinecke Plaza, as dimensions of the University's innovative spirit. Indeed, Eli spirit is what creates traditions and what keeps them alive. Even when the Yale Precision Marching Band stopped playing "The Stripper," Saybrugians refused to give up their time-hallowed tradition of shedding their garments at home football games. Inter-college rivalries also demonstrate the ever-changing nature of Yale traditions. While the Silliman-Timothy Dwight competition is as fierce and entrenched as that between the Yankees and Mets, other battles erupt yearly. For example, just this year, tension between Davenport and Jonathan Edwards exploded. After a daring squad of DC patriots absconded with JE's engraved library plaque, a black-clad JE SWAT team retaliated by stealing the venerated DC courtyard gnome. You're never too new to make your mark. It was only September of his freshman year when Armando Valdez, BK '01, ran off with the coveted Doodle record by scarfing down 22 burgers in one sitting. When a high schooler tried to steal Valdez's glory, the freshman responded just weeks later, reclaiming the Doodle throne with 24. But does every freshman have to eat a sickening amount of beef to be a part of Yale tradition? Of course not. We are all part of Yale tradition, and we all have the power to make new traditions take root. Just as the few brave women who came to Yale in 1969 opened a new chapter in the school's history, minority students today struggle to gain recognition of their heritages. This past year, a petition to offer Hindi and Thai at Yale was evidence of the continuing effort to add an Eastern flavor to the traditionally Western curriculum. Every time you take off your shirt for Saybrook or choose Gecko over Naples on a Thursday night, Yale traditions, old and new, come to life. And it doesn't end there; every Yalie has the power to start a new undergraduate organization, or, like "Richfest" founder Rich Marshall, SM '96, an annual college carnival. Yalies in every class and every decade make a unique contribution to the traditions amassed by the generations of students that have gone before us. Ariel Pepple contributed to this article.

[CTRL] Is Our Society Making You Sick?
-Caveat Lector- Newsweek February 26, 2001 US MY TURN Is Our Society Making You Sick? By Stephen Bezruchka, M.D. Americans are obsessed with health. Just look at today's magazines, TV shows, Web sites, self-help books--and where we put our dollars. As a country, we make up about 4 percent of the world's total population, yet we expend almost half of all the money spent on medical care. We should be pretty healthy. Yet I have always been amazed at how poorly the United States ranks in health when compared with other countries. When I began medical school in 1970 we stood about 15th in what I call the Health Olympics, the ranking of countries by life expectancy or infant mortality. Twenty years later we were about 20th, and in recent years we have plunged even further to around 25th, behind almost all rich countries and a few poor ones. For the richest and most powerful country in the world's history, this is a disgrace. As a physician obsessed with understanding what makes groups of people healthy, I'm dumbfounded that our low ranking doesn't raise more concern in the medical and public-health communities. Is it because experts in these fields don't want to question the role of medical care in producing health? Does our focus on diseases--including the search for risk factors, cures and specific preventive answers--stop Americans from looking at what would really keep us well? Research during this last decade has shown that the health of a group of people is not affected substantially by individual behaviors such as smoking, diet and exercise, by genetics or by the use of health care. In countries where basic goods are readily available, people's life span depends on the hierarchical structure of their society; that is, the size of the gap between rich and poor. How can hierarchy affect health? Consider the feelings that predominate in a hierarchical situation: power, domination, coercion (if you are on top); resignation, resentment and submission (if you are on the bottom). Compare them with feelings in an egalitarian environment: support, friendship, cooperation and sociability. Studies with baboons in Kenya and macaque monkeys in captivity, both of which feature strong hierarchical relationships, show that high-ranking animals are healthier than those lower in the pecking order. Human population studies show additional findings. The death rate from heart attacks among middle-aged men is four times greater in Lithuania than in Sweden, which is much more egalitarian. We can learn something by looking at countries that do well in the Health Olympics. In 1960 Japan stood 23d, but by 1977 it had overtaken all the others in the health race. Today, at No. 1, Japan has a life expectancy on average three and a half years longer than the United States'. Twice as many Japanese men as American men smoke, yet the deaths attributable to smoking are half of ours. Why? After the second world war, the hierarchical structure of Japan was reorganized so all citizens shared more equally in the economy. Today Japanese CEOs make 15 to 20 times what entry-level workers make, not the almost 500-fold difference in this country. During their recent economic crisis, CEOs and managers in Japan took cuts in pay rather than lay off workers. That the structure of society is key to well-being becomes evident when we look at Japanese who emigrate: their health declines to the level of the inhabitants of the new country. Did this health-hierarchy relationship always exist--is it part of human nature? Archeological records from burial mounds and skeletal remains indicate that human populations were relatively healthy before the advent of agriculture. The development of farming allowed food to be produced in quantities and stored, enabling someto live off the efforts of others--a hierarchy. With agriculture, health declined, nutrition worsened and workload increased. Why has the medical community, as well as the popular press, essentially ignored these findings? I suspect that part of the explanation lies in Americans' "cradle to grave" relationship with the health-care industry, which represents one seventh of the U.S. economy. If equality is good medicine, then what can be done to improve Americans' well-being? Our primary goal should be to reduce today's record gap between rich and poor. Prescriptions for such "structural medicine" might include a tax on consumption rather than income, or increased support for public transportation, schools and day care, all of which would reflect a change in how the population shares in the economy. We must put our eyes on a new prize: doing better in the Health Olympics. The best prescription for health is not one we will get from doctors.

He said: "I have said it before, and I say it again and againI am not about to send your sons to fight and die in another European war." The American People were strongly against the U.S. entering World War 2. Something dramatic and shocking was needed to turn public opinion around. In about June of 1941 Roosevelt halted U.S. oil exports to Japan. (Denial of a strategic resource) Japan has no oil of its own. They were getting about half of their imports from the U.S. when FDR cut off their supply. That same summer or early fall, Roosevelt closed the Panama Canal to Japanese ships. The U.S. had guaranteed canal access to all nations, but FDR ignored that promise. In November of 1941, Roosevelt gave Japan an ultimatum to get their military forces out of Manchuria. Roosevelt was shoving and pushing Japandaring the Japanese to take a swing at us. They finally did on December 7th, 1941. Indeed it was a "day of infamy". 2,500 U.S. military personnel died in the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were sacrificed by Roosevelt in order to reverse public opinion about America entering the war. It worked. In 1 day, the American People went from 80 percent opposed to the warto demanding that the U.S. declare war. An entire generation of young American men lined up at the draft board offices to enlist. So much for the so-called "unprovoked sneak-attack". As for the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. It was unnecessary. Nor would an invasion of Japan been necessary. The Japanese navy was on the bottom of the ocean. Every Japanese city of any consequence was in ruins. More people were killed in the conventional firebomb raids on Tokyo than were killed at either Nagasaki or Hiroshima. American naval and airpower had Japan in an inescapable stranglehold. Japan is an island nation lacking in many resources such as iron ore, coal, and oil. All we had to do was keep Japan encircled and wait. The surrender was inevitable. Instead, we became the only nation in history to use atomic weapons against another country. Truman ordered those bombs dropped on an already beatenand virtually defenseless people. The fact is, not a single japanese aircraft rose in the sky to challenge the Enola Gay B-29 that dropped the bomb. They were helpless and we bombed them anyway. Nakano Ditto.

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! :: SHARON CABINET COMING TOGETHER: The Labor party chose Brig.-Gen. (res.) Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, currently serving as Construction and Housing Minister, as the man to fill the post of Defense Minister in Ariel Sharon's new government. Ben-Eliezer said he supported Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon's position that talks between Israel and the Palestinians could resume only after a cessation of the current violence. Ben-Eliezer is considered as 'right-wing' as you can get in the 'left-wing' Labor party. The YESHA Council (Council of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria) congratulated Ben-Eliezer on his appointment: "The Council anticipates that Ben-Eliezer and Prime Minister Sharon will bring about the desired turnaround in Israel's defense policy, and will replace capitulation with initiative and victory." Three of the eight Labor party ministers are now known: aside from Ben-Eliezer, Shimon Peres will be Minister of Foreign Affairs, and MK Shalom Simchon will be Agriculture Minister. Sharon plans to present his new government next Wednesday afternoon. :: IDF CONSIDERS SETTLER PATROLS: The IDF is considering devising arrangements that would give legal recognition to the security patrols settlers have recently been conducting in YESHA. IDF sources explained to HA'ARETZ that since the army has no practical means of preventing such patrols, it would be preferable for them to be coordinated with the IDF and under the IDF's control. Many settlements have begun operating security patrols, manned by volunteers, in recent months because of the sharp rise in shooting attacks on the roads. Some of these patrols escort drivers only from the settlement to the main road; others accompany the driver as far as the army roadblocks along the Green Line. Some of the groups are fairly well-organized, providing the volunteers with helmets, flak jackets, weapons and two-way radios; others are spontaneous initiatives by individual settlers. :: POLL: NORTH AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS SATISFIED WITH MOVE TO ISRAEL: A survey by the Jewish Agency released on Monday found that recent immigrants from North America has found that they are overwhelmingly satisfied with their absorption and would recommend aliya (immigration to Israel) to family and friends, THE JERUSALEM POST reported. The study found that 74 percent of the interviewees define their absorption in Israel as successful. While 25 percent of the participants said they would not advise their friends on this issue one way or the other, 61 percent of the remaining 75 percent said they would recommend aliya to friends and relatives still living in the US or Canada. Survey participants included immigrants living in Israel from six months to two years. :: SADDAM AGAIN MOVES TROOPS NEAR JORDAN BORDER: Iraq has again moved troops and vehicles around positions near the Jordanian border. US defense sources said the deployment ordered by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein began less than a week ago and involved thousands of soldiers from up to six divisions as well as military vehicles and artillery. Iraqi surface-to-surface missile batteries were not seen but were believed being prepared for operations. This was the third time since October that Saddam has moved troops near the Jordanian and Syrian border. In late January, Saddam withdrew most of his troops from the western border area and returned them to their bases in Baghdad. The Iraqi troop movement a week ago sparked a military alert in Tel Aviv, Washington and several capitals in the Gulf. Western diplomatic sources said that in response Israeli air force jets flew toward Syria and US and British warplanes attacked Iraqi targets near Mosul. The Iraqi movements were then halted. [Source: ISRAEL LINE, HA'ARETZ. ARUTZ-7, IMRA, DEBKAfile, BNI, MENL] :: EDITORIAL: ULTIMATUM BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]: The new Bush Jr. Administration, with the State Department breathing its usual anti-Israel sentiment, has issued a quiet ultimatum to the Prime Minister Elect Ariel Sharon. The gist of the threat is that Israel must get the âIntifadaâ (Arafatâs War of Attrition) under control in the next few weeks, or else! Whoa! This from a US government who has not been able to enforce sanctions against Iraq who, in the last 8 years has allowed Saddam Hussein to re-construct his capacity to build catastrophic weapons of mass destruction. Do Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rice and the State Department think they have solved the Iraq problem by having 29 planes make bombing runs on Saddamâs command and control centers? Since 1947 Israel has been facing unremitting attacks from the Arab nations who aid and abet Yassir Arafat to keep the pot boiling. Israelâs military was, indeed, capable of quelling the Palestiniansâ war.

WINSTON :: ** UPCOMING ISRAEL TRIP/EXTRA DAY ADDED - NO CHARGE! ** :: THE TERRORISM CONTINUES: Claude Knopp, 29, of Tiberias, was killed Thursday and eight others were injured, several severely, after a bomb-laden taxicab exploded near the Israeli Arab village of Umm el-Fahm at the Mei Ami junction, HA'ARETZ reported. The security sources reported that they were on a alert Thursday morning for a car bomb which was on its way to Tel Aviv. An emergency roadblock spotted the suspected vehicle, a van, and police began a chase. When the terrorists saw a police roadblock at Mei Ami blocking their way, they detonated the bomb in the vehicle. In another attack, three Israelis were wounded - including one woman in serious condition - when Palestinian terrorists shot at them shortly after 4 PM Tuesday. The attack occurred between the north-Jerusalem industrial zone of Atarot and the Ofer army base, south of Ram'Allah. A similar attack later in the afternoon near Tulkarm miraculously produced no injuries. Palestinians shot at a passing Israeli car, but although bullets hit the car, no one was hurt. A Kfar Saba man killed in an orchard in Moshav Hagor on Monday. Police first believed the dead man was the victim of a work accident. Additional investigation revealed the man had been shot in his neck and chest. The victim, whose name has not been cleared for release, left a wife and two children. Meanwhile, Israel Defense Forces [IDF] Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz warned Friday that security forces would step up actions to prevent terror and apply pressure against terrorists and those who support them, HA'ARETZ reported. In an interview on Israel Radio, Mofaz said, "If the Palestinian Authority [PA/PLO] does not take strong action to stop the violence, Israel will be forced to make serious preparations for the future." He further warned, "If the PA does not act against the terror, Israel will be forced to act in its place, through all possible channels." :: HAMAS READY TO STRIKE WHEN SHARON TAKES OFFICE: Flyers distributed by the Izzadin al-Kassim faction of the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza on Saturday call for an escalation in attacks against Israeli targets. The flyers that were sent to news agencies stated that immediately after Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon takes office, suicide attacks will resume inside the "Green Line," adding there are suicide bombers ready and waiting for orders to begin attacks. The heightened security alert following last Thursday's Wadi Ara taxi bombing is to remain in force at least through the Purim [3 March] holiday, even in the absence of concrete information over planned terror attacks. Additional police and even some IDF units will patrol the Green Line and tighten checkpoints, in additional to the beefed-up presence of security forces in public places. The PA/PLO has recruited into the ranks of its various security organizations a number of Hamas terrorists who were released from Palestinian prisons in recent months. According to Israeli security sources, these men have already taken active roles in attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians. Last October, days after the outbreak of the Al Aqsa Intifada, the PA/PLO released dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists that it was holding in its prisons. Many of the released inmates had been involved in shooting attacks against Israeli targets and in the planting of bombs. It has recently become apparent that some of these former inmates are carrying out their activities while in the uniform of the PA/PLO's security organizations. The PA/PLO had recruited former inmates to its police forces before the Intifada. However, in most cases they belonged to Fatah and had carried out attacks against Israeli targets prior to the signing of the Oslo accords in 1993. Nearly all Hamas and Islamic Jihad
[CTRL] CONGRESS ACTION: March 4, 2001
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CONGRESS ACTION: March 4, 2001 = DRILLING FOR THE FACTS: The battle for energy security has begun. On February 26, Senator Frank Murkowski (R-AK) introduced the National Energy Security Act of 2001 (S.388), a broad-based strategy to wean this nation from its excessive dependence on imported oil and providing for, among other things, oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The usual suspects are up in arms. Former President Jimmy Carter wonders, in effect, how anyone can dare to propose drilling on his land. Mr. Carter apparently thinks ANWR belongs to him. In an interview with the Associated Press, Carter claimed "I inherited the mantle of protecting ANWR from Eisenhower". Near the end of his presidency, Carter signed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, and he now apparently feels that he owns ANWR. As do the media and environmental pressure groups now mobilizing to protect the "public lands" of the ANWR. It has obviously never occurred to them that the "public" in "public lands" includes more than just tree-huggers and New York City subway strap-hangers. It includes people who drive their cars -- yes, even SUVs -- to work, people in the Northeast who want to be able to heat their homes without taking out a second mortgage to pay for the fuel, and people in California who actually want to be able to turn on their lights without facing rolling blackouts. Environmentalists are trotting out the usual scare-mongering about how drilling in ANWR will harm the local wildlife, especially the caribou herds. This in the face of evidence from 25 years of oil drilling at Prudhoe Bay where, far from being harmed, caribou are thriving, with the herds more than quadrupling in size. The same extremists issued the same dire warnings of devastation to animal life before Prudhoe Bay was opened to drilling. But the hallmark of environmental fanaticism is that facts and evidence mean nothing. Despite the apparent belief of environmental extremists, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The public cannot have the abundant energy and electricity that consumers want and that our economy needs without obtaining the necessary fuel. In the case of ANWR, that means drilling for oil and gas in 2000 out of 19 million acres of frozen tundra -- an area less than half the size of Kennedy Airport in a vast preserve nearly two-thirds the size of the entire state of New York. It should also mean a revival of the nearly dead nuclear power industry, an industry and a technology that has been driven to the edge of extinction in this country by the "no nuke" extremists. In a related development, according to the BBC, buried in the latest catastrophic predictions of doom from global warming, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) observed that nuclear power can help to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And horror of horrors, the Los Angeles Times reports that even Californians have begun discussing nuclear power in polite company again. As far back as 1997, even the Washington Post opined that nuclear power might be one way to meet the Clean Air Act and Kyoto global warming treaty goals of reduced emissions. But the no-nuke Luddites can calm their fears -- now that nuclear power is again being discussed by serious scientists and policy makers, the sycophantic media will soon fall back into their rigid, politically correct orthodoxy of denouncing nuclear energy. Nuclear power reactors are apparently just fine to help North Korea supply their energy needs, but Americans simply cannot be trusted to use nuclear power responsibly (recall Bill Clinton's 1994 deal to give North Korea two nuclear reactors in exchange for their promise to abandon their nuclear weapons program, a deal that North Korea eventually renounced, and a deal that raised hardly a murmur among the left-wing establishment at the time -- should we be so crass as to point out that North Korea is a Stalinist regime of the sort so beloved by the left?). In his AP interview Carter went on to claim that there is no energy crisis today, and that supporters of ANWR drilling have exaggerated the energy problems that we face. Just don't think about the high technology companies thinking of moving out of California to other states that can actually supply them with electricity, where they won't be charged exorbitant rates for electricity to subsidize low rates for consumers who still think they are entitled to something for nothing at everyone else's expense. Forget that we have gone from depending on foreign sources for 40% of our energy needs, to 60% dependence, during Bill Clinton's tenure. Carter, of course, knows a thing or two about energy crises -- those who remember his presidency also remember the federal mandates to turn down thermostats and put on a sweater, and the long lines at gas
[CTRL] Inside George W.s Secret Crypt
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.observer.com/pages/story.asp?ID=2511 - March 4, 2001 | 9:27 AM Inside George W.s Secret Crypt by Ron Rosenbaum Where is the all-girl break-in team now that we need them? Where are the intrepid young women who had the nerve and daring to pull off one of the great investigative coups of our era: to sneak into the triple-locked "tomb" of Skull and Bones, the secret citadel, the sanctum sanctorum, the heart of the heart of the Eastern Establishment, the place of weird, clandestine, occult bonding rituals that has shaped the character of American ruling-class figures from the 27th President, William Howard Taft, to the 41st, George Herbert Walker Bush and perhaps the next one too: George W., Skull and Bones 1968. The place where generations of Bushes, Tafts and Buckleys and the like lay down in coffins and spewed the secrets of their sex lives. The place where many of Americas top spies and spy masters were initiated into their clandestine destinies. The place where all conspiracy theories converge. The place where the people who shaped Americas character had their character shaped. But the superspooks of Skull and Bones had nothing on the all-girl break-in team, which managed to outwit their security, slip into the tomb and take pictures of each and every sacred ritual room. Including that dread enclosure I call the "Room With the License Plates of Many States." I know because I once held in my hands the fruits of the all-girl break-in Skull and Bones raid. Yes, there came a time when I gazed at some glossy black-and-white prints that revealed the innermost sanctums of perhaps the most secrecy-shrouded interior in America, the interior of the Skull and Bones Tomb on the Yale campus in New Haven. It is a space that is likely to have even more attention focused on it in the coming months because an initiate once again is poised to become President. And because of the imminent release of a film called The Skulls transparently based on Skull and Bones. But it was only recently that I began thinking about the all-girl break-in team, which was, I believe, inspired by something Id writtenthe first and I think still the only outside investigation of Skull and Bones, its secrets, its legacy, its powerful subterranean influence on American history. In fact, it is my belief that the all-girl break-in team might be doing W. a favor by demystifying this black hole in his biography: the occult rituals he engaged in twice a week in the bowels of the Skull and Bones tomb in the crucial 21st year of his life. In fact, if I might engage in a speculative digression about W., who was my college classmate, though barely known to meI have a feeling there is a part of him that might secretly have approved of the all-girl break-in teams act of clandestine mischief. An irreverent spirit, something I thought I glimpsed in a chance encounter with him and Hunter Thompson a quarter-century ago at a Super Bowl in Houston. I cant recall who was hanging out with whom, but it was January 1974, it was in the atrium of the Hyatt Regency, the Super Bowl headquarters hotel (I was there to write about the spectacle which featured Dolphins versus Vikes that year) and I think it was a mutual friend, a fun-loving preppy guy I knew from college who also somehow knew Hunter and W. who brought us all together in a room in the Hyatt. I dont remember exactly what went on, but I do remember coming away with a favorable impression of W. I remember thinking he was one of the preppy types Id always kind of liked, the hang-loose, good-ole-boy types, many of whom took the interregnum on careerism, which the war and the draft mandated as a cue to break out of the mold a bit, wander off the reservation, poke into the sides of life their trust funds otherwise might have sheltered them from. I sensed what W. liked about Hunter Thompson was that Hunter too was another button-down good old frat boy (once) who went weird but in a good-old-boy way. This, in other words, was W. II, the kind of a guy who just might have seen through all the suits and trappings of moral seriousness Skull and Bones attempted to imbue its initiates with, one who might have seen it as a bit silly and pompous and who might have preferred, like some of his fellow preppy prince Hals, to spend time with Falstaffian misleaders of youth such as Mr. Thompson. If you think of W. I as the guy who was tapped for Skull and Bones at Yale, W. II was a kind of counter-W. I. We know W. II was soon to be replaced, because hes told us he stopped doing any Bad Things in 1974. Except liquor: It was then he turned into the hard-drinking W. III. To be succeeded in 1986 when he gave up spirits as well by the solemn and preachy W. IV we have today. My feeling is: Bring back W. II! I have a feeling W. II saw through the whole Skull and Bones charade, the pomposity of its ritual posturing, the preposterousness of its occult mumbo jumbo. By all
[CTRL] On the Bush Family
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.citizenslaw.net/_cases/MachsCat/BushFamily/on_the_bush_family.htm - On the Bush Family On the Far Right These leaders of the New Right include (notorious Clinton hater) Richard Mellon Scaife, Paul Weyrich and the Coors, DeVos (Amway), Hunt (Oil), Koch (Oil), Krieble (Loctite), Noble, Olin Van Andel (Amway) families. In fact, oilman George Bush Sr. comes from this very same class of people. His tenure as CIA Director is but a small part of a long history with the Intelligence community, which has included Richard Mellon Scaife, and the other New Right leaders. It is highly unlikely that Bush would have been appointed CIA Director, without some prior experience within the Agency. Indeed, there have been reports that Bush was possibly a CIA operative since at least 1961. What's more, the Bush Family's CIA affiliation appears to originate with the OSS, the WWII Agency that preceded the CIA. Robert Lovett, the business partner of Bush's father Prescott, was an OSS Officer, along with Mellon Scaife's father Alan and their Mellon relatives. In fact, Paul Mellon was the OSS Station Chief in London. Prescott could not (officially at least) be involved in the OSS, since his assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading With the Enemy Act, for collaborating with Nazi industrialists. [1] . It was Robert Lovett and the Committee bearing his name that recommended the creation of the CIA as the post-WWII descendant of the OSS. After the war, Lovett and another of Prescott's business partners, Averell Harriman, were directly involved with the CIA. Given that many of Prescott Bush's cronies enjoyed a long association with the CIA, it is likely that Prescott was involved with the Agency as well. (Those interested in looking more deeply into the elite roots of the OSS and the CIA should read about Yale's "Skull and Bones" society -- a.k.a "the Bonesmen" [2] ). In the seventies, while George Bush Sr. was in the wings for the CIA Directorship, Richard Mellon Scaife ran Forum World Features, a CIA front for a European propaganda operation. There are also reports that Scaife was likely involved in the Heritage Foundation's funding of Iran-Contra, along with Heritage President Edwin Feulner. Contrary to what he still declares to this day, then-Vice President Bush Sr. was clearly "in the loop" of Iran-Contra, as Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's notes demonstrated. Furthermore, Admiral John Poindexter claimed that he conferred directly with Bush about the Iran-Contra scheme. Also, Bush and his assistant Donald Gregg communicated regularly with Felix Rodriguez, the notorious ex-CIA agent at the heart of the Contra Supply operation [See Lawrence Walsh's "Firewall", W.W. Norton Co., 1997; pp. 271-272]. In recent years, the CIA Inspector General's Report confirmed that the Contras were trafficking in cocaine, under the watch of Oliver North and the CIA [3] . There is strong evidence that the Contras used North's planes (financed in part by Joe Coors) for their drug-running. Although a Congressional investigation into Contra-Cocaine was recently concluded, there remain lingering questions about the role North's team and the CIA played in this enterprise. [Click here to go beyond the headlines -- What the recent Congressional Investigations actually revealed]. During this period, both Presidents Reagan and Bush appointed Mellon Scaife to the US Advisory Committee for Public Diplomacy, which oversaw the US Information Agency. A key component of the White House Spin Machine, the USIA worked hand in hand with Walter Raymond's interagency propaganda operation. The mission of Raymond's outfit (code-named "Project Truth") was to manipulate US public opinion in favor of the Reagan-Bush foreign policies. [See Robert Parry's "Lost History" for details [4] ]. In 1983, the USIA's director, Charles Z. Wick, held a fundraiser in support of the Iran-Contra activities. With the help of Scaife's lieutenants, Wick collected over $400,000 in private funds from the likes of the Smith Richardson and Olin Foundations [5] . [Also, see the National Security Archive's "Iran-Contra Collection", May 1983]. Later, Frank Shakespeare, yet another Heritage board member, served as the USIA's Director. Ultimately, President George Bush dealt the final blow to Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh's prosecution of the Iran-Contra affair. Less than a month before leaving office, Bush pardoned Caspar Weinberger and the other defendants awaiting trial. Bush also issued sweeping pardons to those previously convicted ["Firewall", p. 493]. In so doing, Bush clearly abused his Presidential power to avoid further exposure of his Iran-Contra role, which had been definitely established by Weinberger's notes. --- FROM THE GREENWICH VILLAGE GAZETTE BY TOBY ROGERS BUSH FAMILY NAZI PAST In the fall of 1937 a young 14 year old George Herbert Walker Bush (aka Poppy) was entering his first year at Andover

What have we gained from it?'" MID-EAST REALITIES - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 3/04: The Arab regimes are far too weak and co-opted to do anything serious. The Arafat regime is far too corrupt and incompetent to do anything serious. The Americans are far too under the thumb of the Israeli/Jewish lobby whose strength remains overwhelming in the U.S. -- the Arab American groups still far too confused, innocent, and self-centered to have any significant impact (a situation their own handlers, the Arab regimes, encourage to stay this way for their own reasons). And so the Palestinian people not only suffer terribly; but the craven world watches, the long-discredited United Nations orates, the laughable Arab League gesticulates, and the ridiculously manipulated Muslim groups submit -- all claiming of course to be so concerned but in reality all collectively doing little useful and hardly anything serious. And now the Israeli army (supplied and backed of course by the American army), gets ready to clamp down even further until the Palestinians are forced once again into submission. These two articles in today's Ha'aretz help set the new stage: IDF DEPLOYS FORCES ALONG W. BANK ROADS By Amos Harel Ha'aretz Military Correspondent [Ha'aretz 4 March 2001]: Two more terms have been added recently to the acronym-studded, voluminous lexicon of Israeli rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip: Badatz and Tigbatz. The first refers to blocking off roads to close escape routes for terrorists after gunfire attacks. The second alludes to beefing-up security deployments on roads in the territories. Anyone who has traveled recently from Hebron toward Jerusalem during the afternoon is likely to have observed the policy for which this second acronym stands: soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces can be seen at each junction, and there are several armed personnel carriers parked along roads. Current Israeli defense tactics in the territories reenact a policy followed more than a decade ago, when Yitzhak Mordechai served as IDF Central Commander. As was the case then, makeshift IDF holding posts have sprouted up in numerous West Bank flash-points. Some ten new IDF posts have appeared in the Hebron region alone; most have been set-up on the rooftops of Palestinian houses that are located alongside Route 60, the road which leads to Jerusalem. The IDF has put up other posts in locales such as the "Tunnel Road," which runs between Al Hader and the Gilo neighborhood. The new policy has been implemented in the Ramallah area as well, with an IDF post newly assembled at the "British Police junction," where a Jewish resident from the Ateret settlement was wounded about a week ago. The army has established another three posts, some featuring tanks, on route 433, which runs between Jerusalem and Modi'in. The practical security utility of these new roadside posts is questionable. IDF soldiers stationed at them have themselves become the potential targets of terror attacks. Yet the IDF is responding to perceived siege conditions, in which the sense of safety felt by settlers and other Israelis is almost as important as actual security. Given the current situation, in which thousands of Israeli citizens feel threatened on the road, the IDF believes that its new policy is an appropriate and necessary measure. While the IDF General Staff prepares for various scenarios which might be realized after the Sharon government takes office, it remains possible that one major shift in the conditions in the territories could generate a faster flow of events than top planners are anticipating. As the Al Aqsa Intifada rages on, IDF commanders in the
[CTRL] Two Major Storms Converging on East Coast
-Caveat Lector- Two Major Storms Converging on East Coast Will Dunham 03/03/01 -- -- WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two major storm systems -- a wet one moving through the South and a frigid one coming down from Canada -- were on a collision course on Saturday, threatening to create a massive snowstorm in the U.S. Northeast and Middle Atlantic States, the like of which has not been seen since 1966. The National Weather Service said heavy snowfall could begin on Sunday afternoon and evening, blanketing an area from Washington to southern Maine with at least a foot of snow -- in some areas, even more. Major cities including Washington, Baltimore, New York and Boston, were ``under the gun for the potential for heavy snow,'' said Michael Eckert, a senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Warmer-than-expected temperatures in the Washington area on Saturday could mean that the region will receive more rain than heavy snowfall, meteorologists said. Eckert called the late-winter storm highly unusual in that it represented the combination of two mighty weather systems. ``It's very rare. We just don't see things like this happen very often,'' he said. Local officials from Virginia to New England faced the task of preparing for the approaching storm, while people flocked to stores to buy food and supplies. The storm had the potential to wreak havoc for air travelers and motorists, with the possibility of businesses, schools and government offices being closed on Monday. ``It's going to be bad,'' said Paul Kocin, a winter weather expert at The Weather Channel, predicting that areas around Boston could get up to 30 inches. ``That doesn't happen every day.'' ``INFANCY STAGE'' Eckert said the storm remained in its ``infancy stage'' on Saturday. He said an extremely wet system coming out of Mexico had been dumping torrential rains across Texas and the Gulf Coast region. Some areas have received up to 5 inches of rain in the past day. Authorities posted tornado watches from southeastern Mississippi all the way into the panhandle of Florida and southern parts of Alabama, as well as flash flood warnings across Louisiana, southern Mississippi and southern Alabama. Georgia was also under a severe thunderstorm warning. A National Guard C-23 Sherpa aircraft crashed in bad weather on Saturday in a field near Unadilla, Georgia, killing all 21 people on board, although it was not confirmed that weather conditions were a cause of the crash. Eckert said ``a very, very deep cold-air dome'' had moved down through eastern Canada and the Northeastern part of the United States and toward the Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley. ``What's going to happen is they'll eventually merge into one main system,'' he said. ``You combine the extreme wetness of the system coming up from the South with the really deep, cold air of the North, and you've got the ingredients there for a major storm.'' The rain could begin to turn into snow toward evening on Sunday near Washington and perhaps as far south as Richmond, Virginia, Eckert said. The storm is then expected to track slowly northeastward up into southern New England through Monday and into Tuesday, dumping heavy snow all the way to Portland, Maine, he said. COLD BLAST FROM PAST Experts said the brewing storm might not be the biggest blizzard in decades but could very well become the biggest of its kind -- a merger of two storms into a single massive one -- in 35 years. ``This one has similarities to the storm in late January of 1966,'' Eckert said. ``That one produced blizzard conditions over New England and New York, and there also was quite a bit of heavy snow down into the Washington area.'' That storm blanketed a large area with 2 to 3 feet of snow, with some locations east of Lake Ontario getting 6 feet of snow. Eckert said the key to the magnitude of the storm would be where the rain began to turn into snow. He noted that one of the computer-forecasting models foresaw mostly rain in the Middle Atlantic States, with snow falling farther west in the Appalachian Mountains and the upper Ohio Valley. Eckert said communities had fair notice that a major storm could be on the way. ``Just be ready,'' he said. ``All you can do is be prepared for how this thing will evolve. Fortunately, we've got a lot of time. It's not like it's something that's jumping up at us from the middle of nowhere.''

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.gvny.com/columns/rogers/index.html - As GW Bush gains in this race and a "wave of Evil" spreads through America, GREENWICH VILLAGE GAZETTE, in this five part investigative report, discovers some real Nazi skeletons in the Bush family closet. Part 1: Pat coddles Hitler while GW coddles Pat Part 2: Bush's "great" 1936 Olympics and "great" Nazi Professor Part 3: Hitler goes Wall Street and Prescott Bush roles out the carpet Part 4: President Bush and his seven Nazi "friends" Part 5: Excuse me GW, but could you pass Hitler's steak knife? Part 1: Pat coddles Hitler while GW coddles Pat Over year ago, Republican Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan sparked a political firestorm by injecting the name Adolf Hitler into the 2000 Presidential campaign. In his 1999 book "Republic, Not An Empire," Mr. Buchanan questions the United States' role fighting Hitler during World War II and also charged Franklin D. Roosevelt of "lying to provoke national hysteria." For years, Mr. Buchanan has been charged, even by some members of the Republican Party, with crossing the line with racist and anti-Semitic essays and speeches; even questioning the number of victims of the Holocaust. Mr. Buchanan described Hitler as an "individual with great courage" in 1977. Senator. John McCain denounced Mr. Buchanan "on principle" because Pat's views are "so far outside of the philosophy of what America is all about." Elizabeth Dole, who's husband, former Senator Robert Dole, lost the use of one arm fighting in WW2, said she "was appalled by Pat Buchanan's comments" and that they were "grossly insensitive" especially to soldiers "who gave there lives to preserve freedom." With the outbreak of hate crimes spreading throughout the nation: the Columbine Massacre, the shooting at a Jewish daycare center, and two separate bombing incidents at predominately black Florida AM, Matthew Shepard, The Byrd slaying; many voters are crying out for leadership on hate crimes, especially from the presidential candidates. On September 16 1999 front runner George W Bush left a Fort Worth hospital after visiting victims of a mass shooting at a Texas Baptist Church. GW told reporters that he believed "a wave of Evil" is "passing through America." In a interview with the Associated Press on Friday September 25th, 1999 GW said that "I'm going to need every vote I can Get among Republicans to win the election." Most would say the answer is simply votes, that the Hate Coalition is much larger, especially within the Republican party, than many would care to believe. But could it be more complex then just votes? Are their other high ranking Republicans, like the Rev Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, or even GW himself who privately hold similar views? The Greenwich Village Gazette has been investigating 1999's "wave of evil", months before the uproar over Mr. Buchanan, and has discovered some similar patterns of Nazi sympathies in GW and others in the Bush Family's past.

[CTRL] The Hanssen-Ames Connection Uncovered
The Hanssen-Ames Connection Uncovered DEBKA-Net-Weekly © February, 2001 The American FBI veteran Robert Philip Hanssen, 56, charged Tuesday, Feb. 20 with spying for Moscow, and the convicted CIA super-mole Aldrich Ames have a great deal in common that the FBI director Louis Freeh did not reveal. As DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s intelligence sources disclose here for the first time, both were recruited to the KGB’s First Chief Directorate (foreign) by the same pair of legendary British super-spies, Kim Philby, who defected to Moscow in 1961, and George Blake who lives in Moscow to this day. Ames, convicted in 1994 to a life sentence without parole, was a senior counterintelligence officer in the CIA; Hanssen filled a similar function in the FBI. Both climbed high in their services, got away with betraying secrets and double spies for decades before they were caught; their careers similarly straddled the crossover period between the KGB and the post-Soviet SVR; and both caused devastating damage. A key date in the FBI director’s disquisition on Tuesday was 1985, when Hanssen was said to have been recruited to the KGB. That was also the date cited for Ames’s recruitment in his CIA indictment. Freeh touched on the link cursorily: he said Hanssen came under surveillance after Ames’s discovery as a result of the effort to identify additional penetrations. This comes nowhere near to doing justice to the relationship as it was, but it does indicate the long duration of the Hanssen investigation. DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s sources maintain in this world exclusive that it was carried on parallel to the inquiry against Ames. Hence the great wealth of detail on Hanssen’s career as far back as the eighties, as presented to the court in Alexandria, Virginia, on Tuesday. Moreover, there is no way he could have kept his identity dark from the Russians; they knew exactly whom they were running behind the codename of “Ramon” and were also aware of the inquiry. What no one knows now is if he will he emulate his boss Ames and stay mum about the secrets of his double life, and in particular, the system of penetrations of which he was a part. For Ames was indeed the top dog of a whole army of moles, who still burrow unidentified under Western intelligence. He attained this pinnacle of power as head of the covert “Cooperative CIA/FBI Program”, America’s key counterintelligence tool in the eighties for recruiting double agents. As Ames himself put it in 1994 after he was caught: “We were putting together a basic program of establishing the Soviets’ modus operandi… that later built into quite a large program.” As a senior CIA officer, he handled the agency’s spies, double spies and moles in foreign services in the West and East Europe. They believed they served Washington, while being exploited for the KGB and for Ames’s second master, the Chinese MSS. Hanssen kept watch for the FBI on Russian government embassies and missions in Washington and at UN Headquarters in New York; he performed his assignments on behalf of that cooperative program as Ames’s clandestine operational arm inside the FBI. As such, he betrayed Soviet embassy staff who spied for the US. Two were later executed in Moscow. Hanssen was therefore one of Ames’s super-moles and his vital channel into the US defense establishment. When the American probe began closing in on Hanssen, Moscow threw out veiled messages to Washington. The US businessman Edmund Pope, convicted as an American spy in April 2000, was pardoned by President Putin in December 2000. That same month, Sergei Lebedev, head of Russia’s foreign intelligence SVR remarked out of the blue that the notorious British Cold War spy George Blake was still working “for the good of Russia”. Blake, a member of British counterintelligence from 1941 to 1961, was sentenced to 42 years for spying for Russia. He broke out of prison and escaped to Moscow in 1966. Dredging up the name of this 77-year old relic of the Cambridge Ring certainly revived old, uneasy Cold War memories in Washington. The Russians were warning the Americans indirectly: Hands off Hanssen; Ames is still holding his tongue and so will Hanssen. If you expose him, we have Blake to take the lid of a Pandora’ s Box that will hurt you and rekindle the old intelligence war. Moscow was spurred into action shortly after the US presidential election in November - for good reason. In September 1997, ex-president Bill Clinton called off the hunt for Ames’s moles, instructing CIA director George Tenet to draw a line against the past and the damage Ames had wrought US intelligence. But then, George W. Bush, while still president-elect, was asked to decide whether to let the Hanssen inquiry take its full course. He called together a group made up of his father – not only a former president but also a former CIA director - Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condaleezza Rice, Attorney General

[CTRL] Yeltsin may have proof Monica was a plant
-Caveat Lector- Online Journal - http://www.onlinejournal.com 03-02-01: Yeltsin may have proof Monica was a plant, and other bizarre happenings By Bev Conover March 3, 2001-In another week of madness-GW Bush playing president before a joint session of Congress, Joe Lieberman drooling to meld church and state, and the Secret Service springing Jenna Bush's (boy?)friend from jail-The (London) Sunday Times reported that Boris Yeltsin claims to have received a report in 1996, before the world heard the name Monica Lewinsky, that might have thwarted Bill Clinton's impeachment. "Among papers on his desk in the Kremlin lay a coded report from Russian intelligence warning that the Republicans intended to exploit Clinton's notorious "penchant" for young women by planting a female "provocateur" in his entourage. The aim was clear, it said-to ruin Clinton's reputation and force him out of office," the Times reported. In an interview with the former Russian president, Yeltsin told Times Moscow correspondent Mark Franchetti, "I thought about telling him but it could after all have been a normal provocation. I wasn't sure whether some of the details were sufficiently precise. If I had warned him I could have hurt him unnecessarily, and I didn't want to do that. I have always believed in him and in his honesty, and I thought that Clinton could deal with this situation himself." Franchetti wrote that this was one of the "stranger tales recounted by the former Russian leader in The Midnight Diaries, an account of his last four years in office, which is published this week." In the interview, the 69-year-old Yeltsin said he had given thought to giving Clinton a copy of the coded report as a souvenir during a meeting some time after the failed attempt to oust Clinton from office, then thought better of it because he allegedly did not want to "traumatise him." If Yeltsin is telling the truth, did he not realize he could have spared Clinton, the people Kenneth Starr ruined post 1996 in his zeal to get the president, and the American people the agony of a groundless impeachment and Senate trial, not to mention the hijacking of the country, in the aftermath, by the Bush forces? Once again, we have to turn to a British paper-one owned by Clinton-hating Rupert Murdoch, yet-to learn things the U.S. media choose to ignore. Don't bet on hearing this on the nightly news or seeing it even in the back pages of the New York Times or Washington Post, much less think anyone in the Bush regime will ask Yeltsin for the report in order to check its validity or that Dan Burton will convene a hearing to investigate the matter. The GW Bush Magic Show Perhaps if you were down in the gutter with the corporate media and looking up, Illusionist Bush might seem impressive. Then again, maybe not. The bar the corporate pundits set for His Fraudulency was about as high as the curb, but they gushed and swooned over how easily he sailed over it. Never mind the shell game Bushie was playing with our money and how many times over he was both spending it and giving it back or the fact that the projected surpluses are predicated on current tax rates in a sound economy-something George II is doing his best to destroy, the media mavens have decided performance-as in acting-is more important than substance. Even the Democrats, in their paltry response, didn't bother to bring up all the things W. wants to cut-such as aid for the homeless and emergency preparedness, among others-so he can give his fat cat friends tax cuts. Okay, he didn't drool. He managed to limit his smirks to winks and sly smiles that came across as "I'm screwing them and look at those dumb Democrats applauding and giving me standing ovations." The pundits even ballyhooed that he didn't flub his words. Are we alone in having heard him say, "Education is not my top priority," then quickly correct himself? Or do the corporate media go into automatic edit mode to spare him from embarrassment? You know, pretend he didn't say it, just as they pretend he won the election and now pretend he is the legitimate president. The more sickening performance, though, was turned in by the Democrats who shamed us by standing up for the Great Pretender and by applauding him, instead of sitting quietly and letting him have his say or, as Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) did, walking out. The Democrats may think they are playing a cagey game, but right now the Bushistas are outmaneuvering them at every turn. Joe Lieberman's Peculiar View of American History Senator Joe Lieberman sounded off on religion and politics at last Thursday's launch of the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, a new organization promoting "how religion shapes the ideas and institutions of American society." In promoting what has until now been the right wing's goal to tear down what is left of the wall of separation between church and state, Lieberman told the gathering, "The wall of separation has grown so beyond its
[CTRL] Russian Admiral Says Kursk Was Sunk 'By Stray Cruise Missile
http://www.sunday-times.co.uk Russian Admiral Says Kursk Was Sunk 'By Stray Cruise Missile Christine Toomey and Mark Franchetti, Moscow A Russian admiral close to the investigation into the sinking of the Kursk nuclear submarine has claimed the disaster was caused by a cruise missile misfired from a command vessel overseeing naval exercises. The admiral, who declined to be named, told The Sunday Times: "It is 100% certain that a cruise missile went the wrong way." This, he said, set off a catastrophic chain of events that ended with huge explosions inside the submarine and the deaths of all 118 men on board. According to his account, a Granit missile - better known by its Nato designation, Shipwreck - was fired from the warship Peter the Great and hit the water directly above the submarine, 30 miles away in the Barents Sea. The missile, equipped with a dummy warhead, would have disintegrated on contact with the water. However, the explosion of its liquid fuel could have been just enough to destabilise the submarine. This, in turn, is thought to have caused one of the submarine's torpedoes to shake loose from its mounting, leak fuel and explode. Within minutes the resulting fireball had set off further explosions of the Kursk's munitions, sending it plunging to the seabed. The admiral said crucial documents relating to the incident, one of Russia's worst peacetime disasters, were missing. "A lot of documents concerning the Kursk are being hidden, using the convenient excuse that they have been handed over to investigators into the accident," he said. "There are those who do not want the exact version of what happened to the Kursk to come out." The latest explanation of the accident came as the Russian authorities faced fresh accusations of a cover-up. The relatives of at least 20 of the victims are taking legal action against the Russian state in an attempt to obtain all the facts about the incident. The families want access to classified documents that could help to explain what caused the sinking. They also want to establish whether criminal proceedings can be brought against anyone deemed responsible. "Of course the navy is doing everything it can to hide the truth from us," said Khalima Ariapova, whose husband Rashid died in the accident. "They know what happened but they are determined to cover it up. They think that with time we, the relatives, will just fade away and stop pestering them. But they are mistaken." The Russian authorities have repeatedly said the results of their inquiry will not be made public until the Kursk is raised from the seabed - an operation scheduled for next summer.

[CTRL] Fwd: Fritz Springmeier arrested
The one story here is re Springmeier and states he used many different names. I note he uses German names primarily - which is a little obvious. His connections to me sound a little more than just suspicious. The informationo he puts out is nothing dangerous or new - nothing to use phoney names about - the alleged big time drug operation sounds strange - but the ID's he had are something else. So what is Fritz's real name - this stuff on Satanic bloodlnes - and the bad information of Fitzgerald line - this is staggering for the Geraldines were one of the most famous lines in Irish History - the Fitzgerlds (all sons of Og) were murdered by vicious vendetta - 7 hanged, drawn and quartered - St. Patrick carried the Fitzgerald Coat of Arms ... And this man with this satanic bloodline stuff should be assured, as a Plantagenet and a Fitzgerald the Mormon Church already has labeled these great Kings and Nobility as descendents of Satan and Demons - but then who wrote the books - but the key to the Fitzgrald curse you find in the bible - and as usual the usual suspects are involved. So Fritz - look at his face and say do I trust this face - no way. Is her a German? He seems like ones who leads the little red arrows to groups and frankly maybe he was set up or he is part of the set up - but if you check him out you will not find he what he pretends to be. Like this Jewish Mafia in Columbus where Meyer Lansky would visit the home of one - murderers, in on drugs and without a doubt behind shooting of Larry Flynt for he was new kid on block - but the neo nazi literature the spread some of which was in blue ink and came off the press right in this little basement.. So what is he - just a front for drugs using White People of Christian faith as a front - when behind you find more than just marijuana plants? So anyway Fritz did not have the marijuana plants - this information from APN is interesting. I am thinking ADL is behind this stuff..and one of their big deals lately was to try to get this Marc Rich aka Reich off the hook - ADL of course put Christian groups on FBI Hate list and it was the ADl who told FBI and BATf to stay home that day in Oklahoma and warned one judge while the others were blown to hell or mutilaated and babies left in nursery saba About Fritz Springmeier Survivors/victims, be cautious when reading the following allegations. It can be triggering ... At the bottem of this page is the latest news I got about Fritz. The reader be the judge ... There are many things said by different people about Fritz Springmeier. He wrote a number of books on trauma-based mindcontrol, creating undetectable mindcontrolled slaves with MPD through torture. I personally believe that the content of these books is accurate. He is active in the therapeutic community too. Some even believe that Fritz is allegedly used by the Illuminati one way or another, and that he is possibly dangerous, maybe he is .. maybe he is not. At this moment, I don't know for sure. There are those who say that Fritz himself is possibly a Monarch victim, and I have heard from one person that Fritz was allegedly being seen on the San Francisco Airport together with Anton Lavey (a satanist), probably to re-capture an escaped victim. There are however so many voices from "both sides" that it is hard to determine what is true and what is not true. An e-mail was forwarded to me by a friend, which was supposedly written by a mindcontrol victim who's name and gender I will not mention to anyone. This victim says he/she has actually lived with Fritz and Cisco for a while (Cisco Wheeler, daughter of the late general Wheeler, an illuminati programmer who ritually abused Cisco. Cisco is Fritz' co-author). The following refers to Fritz, not to Cisco . He/she says that the atmosphere allegedly was not very pleasant, and had all the hallmarks of an abusive home. He/she found it a bit strange that Fritz allegedly did not live close to his own wife, but very close to Cisco, never leaving her out of sight. To me these accusations are very serious of course, and I do not want to draw conclusions too soon. One needs to be objective, not subjective. When we think subjectively, we draw conclusions as soon as we see or hear something. This is not the way to deal with these kind of things. And above all, we must give a person the opportunity to explain himself. One is innocent untill proven guilty. This alleged victim however, also is convinced that Fritz gives certain drugs to Cisco to keep her in the condition she is in. According to this mindcontrol victim Cisco believes she is free while in fact she is an alleged slave of Fritz. I still need proof for this though. As I said, there also are also some comments from the therapeutic community about Fritz. Some say that at conferences he frequently interrupts other speakers, and is acting like a person who knows better than anybody else what MPD is. But again, it

According to unidentified intelligence and law-enforcement sources, the tunnel was part of a sophisticated joint FBI and National Security Agency eavesdropping operation used to track Soviet, and later Russian, facilities and personnel in the United States. The construction of the tunnel and its corresponding intelligence gathering operation cost several hundred million dollars, The Times said, which would make it the most expensive secret betrayed by Hanssen, the FBI agent arrested two weeks ago on espionage charges. Spokesmen for the FBI and the White House declined to comment on the operation in interviews with The Times. Hanssen, a 25-year FBI veteran and counterintelligence expert, was arrested last month and charged with spying for Moscow since 1985. The government has never publicly disclosed the existence of the tunnel operation, but an FBI affidavit filed in the Hanssen case states Hanssen "compromised an entire technical program of enormous value, expense and importance to the United States government." Officials told The Times that was a reference to the tunnel operation and related intelligence activities. An individual familiar with the planning of the tunnel operation told the Times that the tunnel construction allowed FBI agents to infiltrate the Soviet Embassy under the guise of contractors. However, the paper said details on when and how the operation was launched — or if it was successful in collecting useful intelligence — were not yet available. The embassy complex, which was built in the 1970s and 1980s, was not fully occupied until the 1990s as a result of a long-running dispute with the United States about charges that U.S. embassy buildings in Moscow had been bugged. The new embassy complex was not fully occupied until after the collapse of the Soviet Union. When the government believes Hanssen betrayed the tunnel operation and other U.S. efforts to monitor the Soviet Embassy complex could not be determined, The Times said. But current and former officials told The Times that a major motive behind the government's decision to continue searching for additional spies after the 1994 arrest of CIA officer Aldrich H. Ames was the growing belief that the tunnel program had been compromised. The tunnel and other operations targeted against the Soviet Embassy was among a series of damaging intelligence losses that could not be tracked to Ames. A secret investigative team was established to identify the source of the unexplained losses, which also included other technical intelligence programs and the 1989 tip-off to the Soviets that the F.B.I. was conducting an espionage investigation of a State Department official, Felix S. Bloch, officials said. That mole-hunt team played a critical role in the investigation that led to Hanssen's arrest, officials told The Times. — The Associated Press contributed to this report

[CTRL] Struggle in Bush gov't over Iraq
http://www.workers.org/ww/2001/iraq0308.html Powell visit, air raids show Struggle in Bush gov't over Iraq By Brian Becker It is no accident that the first apparent foreign policy struggle taking place inside the Bush administration concerns the deepening crisis in the Middle East. While U.S. foreign policy has gone through numerous strategic and tactical shifts over the decades, one fundamental objective of U.S. policy has remained remarkably consistent. Since the closing days of World War II, all policy makers, presidents, and secretaries of state and defense have agreed that the U.S. government should exercise absolute domination over the Middle East--especially the oil-rich Persian/Arabian Gulf region. Two-thirds of the world's known oil reserves rest in this region. It is a source of fabulous corporate profits. Oil constitutes the most vital strategic resource for military and industrial power. Meaning of Powell's tour This fundamental fact must be kept in mind when trying to understand the meaning of Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell's highly publicized tour of several Middle East countries in late February. Powell has publicly said that the United States should modify or ease some of the economic sanctions on Iraq, so as to rally Syria, Jordan, Egypt and other Arab regimes to support a less severe form of economic sanctions. Powell's attempt to reorient U.S. policy on Iraq is under attack from inside the Bush administration. Powell is being presented as a "dove" in a struggle with Pentagon and Bush administration "hardliners." Never mind that this is the same former Chief of Staff who, during the Gulf War, went on national TV to announce that U.S. military strategy toward Iraq's army was: "First, we are going to cut it off. Then we are going to kill it." When asked by a shocked reporter at the conclusion of the war/massacre, "Is it true that 100,000 Iraqis were killed by the allied bombardment?" Powell blandly responded, "That is not a figure that interests me very much." What explains the shift in position from the State Department? Powell represents a section of the U.S. establishment that is deeply worried that growing anger against U.S./UN economic sanctions and Washington's backing of Israeli aggression will lead to isolation or even an anti-U.S. uprising in the region. The Arab people are increasingly angry about the U.S.-imposed sanctions that have killed more than 1.2 million civilians in Iraq. For their part, the U.S. allies in the region--or to be more accurate, the U.S. client governments in Egypt, Jordan and even Saudi Arabia--are worried that they could face popular revolts because of their close association with Washington's policy. Defiance of sanctions spreading Without an adjustment in U.S. policy, according to Powell's view, the sanctions will completely unravel because they will be more and more routinely ignored. Other major capitalist powers like France, Germany, Japan and Russia also want to scrap the sanctions for their own commercial and energy purposes. In recent months, scores of countries have defied the U.S. and allowed airplanes to begin flying to Baghdad. An international trade fair in Baghdad a few weeks ago drew representatives from scores of countries eager to resume business with Iraq. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was one who feared a worldwide backlash. Despite her hawkish orientation, Albright felt forced to announce last September that the U.S. would refrain from carrying out military attacks against Iraq. Instead of stopping the anti-sanctions momentum, though, neighboring countries immediately began to open their borders and initiate renewed trade with Iraq, completely bypassing the UN Sanctions Committee. Jordan, for example, recently announced it plans to create "a free trade zone" with Iraq. Different tactics, same objective Powell's trip to the Middle East was designed to create the impression that he could help the U.S. allies/clients in the region by calling for an easing of some sanctions. He also called for Israel to "lift the siege" of the Palestinian territories. This is language that is used by the Palestinian Authority. But it hardly represented a new policy of live-and-let-live toward Iraq. In his meetings with King Abdullah of Jordan, Powell insisted that the country drop its plans for a "free-trade zone," although poverty is soaring there as a result of reduced trade with its most important neighbor. Powell demanded that Syrian President Bashir Assad re-seal the Iraq/Syrian border and turn over any purported Iraqi oil revenues to the U.S.-controlled UN Sanctions Committee. According to the newspaper Arab Jerusalem, Powell offered to remove Syria from the U.S. "Terrorist Countries List." He offered to support Syria's bid to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council in exchange for placing an Iraq-Syria oil pipeline under UN control. At the same time that he offered these carrots, Powell demanded that

Steinman, Publisher. I've been reviewing the latest Total Diet Study results for September 2000 compiled by the Food and Drug Administration. The total Diet Study is the government's own monitoring data for pesticide and industrial chemical residues detected in foods as found on grocers' shelves and on dinner tables. The data I've seen are so incriminating, there is possibly no better evidence of the need for reducing our pesticide dependency and for consumers, more than ever, to turn to organically grown foods. I've been a consumer cop for a long time. Nothing about these results lends me any hope that things are getting better when it comes to curtailing use of cancer-causing pesticides or those that may pose risks for damage to the nervous, immune and reproductive systems. I'm looking at the results for non-organic apples. There were 26 samples of apples taken. In these samples, 244 pesticide and industrial chemical residues were found. That means, on average, each bite of an apple contains more than nine different pesticide or industrial chemical residues. These include carcinogens such as azinphos-methyl, benomyl, benzene, captan, dicofol, dimethoate, methy1-parathion, and propargite. The 26 samples of raw peaches contained 195 pesticide and industrial chemical residues. Meahwhile, the same number of samples of fresh or frozen boiled spinach contained 196 pesticide and industrial chemical residues, including cancer-causing pesticides such as acephate, chlordane, DDE, dieldrin, dimethoate, nonachlor, permethrin and toxaphene. Fresh or frozen boiled collard greens contained 198 such residues with especially high levels of DDE, dieldrin and endosulfan (an endocrine disrupting chemical). Raw celery (same number of samples) contained 179 residues with particularly high levels of the cancer-causing pesticides acephate and permethrin. Peanut butter was the king of pesticide contamination, however, with 259 pesticide and industrial chemical residues detected, including benzene hexachloride, dieldrin, and hexachlorobenzene. The Organic Alternative We don't live in the Garden of Eden, and organically grown crops are likely to occasionally have minor pesticide contamination, especially in cases where residues of persistent pesticides contaminate the soil. But much of the contamination in the food supply today is the result of current applications. Based on my review of data on organic foods, they are significantly lower in pesticide contamination. In my book, "Diet for a Poisoned Planet," and "The Safe Shopper's Bible" and in past issues of "The Doctors' Prescription for Healthy Living," I have documented the many experimental and human studies that incriminate everyday pesticide and industrial chemical exposures as a cause of childhood and adult cancer. Anyone who tells you that the pesticides in the food supply to which consumers are exposed are trivial doesn't know the medical and scientific literature. What I am telling you is this: organic foods should be your first choice, especially when they are easily affordable. For example, organically grown apples, celery, spinach and peanut butter are extremely competitively priced. I'll tell you about more dangerous actors in the food supply in upcoming reports.

Quebec City and the suburb of Saint-Foy have passed an anti-scarf by-law as a security measure for the Summit of the Americas in April. People in the Quebec City suburb of Saint-Foy could soon risk being arrested for wearing scarves or covering up their faces. A new by-law, which was adopted as part of security preparations for the upcoming Summit of the Americas conference in Quebec City, is one example of precautions being taken to squelch the activities of anti-globalization activists and protesters who typically target these types of international gatherings. In addition to the scarf by-law, authorities plan to install a three-metre high metal fence around several square kilometres of Quebec City and allow only those with passes inside the perimeter. The area will be enforced by 3,000 to 5,000 police, RCMP and riot squads from across the country, and police are freeing up 500 spots in the Quebec City prison to make room for arrested protesters. The by-law adopted by Saint-Foy councillors, which will be enforced during the weeks leading up to and including the April summit, permits police to immediately arrest someone in a crowd if even part of their face is covered. A similar by-law is already in place in Quebec City. If arrested, the burden of proof rests with the accused for providing a valid excuse for covering up their faces, according to the by-law. "I think the Quebec authorities responsible for this owe the public a pretty full example as to why they think an extraordinary measure like that is needed," said Alan Borovoy, general counsel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. "I can imagine all sorts of perfectly logical reasons why someone would have part of their face covered." Mr. Borovoy says his organization grew concerned after seeing how various cities have fought the inevitable protests and hearing how Quebec authorities were ramping up for this particular session. He says authorities "should not arrest, detain, search, seize or use force beyond what is necessary to uphold the law." The association has criticized the focus of the security tactics and urged the federal Solicitor-General and Quebec's Public Security Minister against using a heavy-handed and one-sided approach. "Just as it is important to ensure the security of the summit, it is no less important to protect the viability of the protests," said Mr. Borovoy. "It is beginning to appear that the protesters will be quarantined miles from the centre of conference activity ... The further away the protesters are, the less viable their protest will be." The April 20-22 meeting will bring together the leaders of 34 countries, including Jean Chrtien, the Prime Minister, and George W. Bush, the U.S. President, to discuss creating a free-trade zone covering all of North and South America. These gatherings have become a touchstone for anti-globalization activists, particularly in the wake of the violence that erupted at the 1999 World Trade Organization talks in Seattle. === Friday February 23 Mexico Zapatistas Take Indian Rights on Tour By Lorraine Orlandi SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico (Reuters) - Rebel leader Subcommander Marcos sets out from his Chiapas stronghold on Sunday on a journey through Mexico to the capital, where he will try to persuade Mexican leaders to deliver rights for millions of disenfranchised Indians. On a two-week tour through the countryside to the doors of parliament in Mexico City, the masked rebel and two dozen fellow Zapatista commanders will seek to rally grass-roots support and pile pressure on the government to accept their conditions for peace in the strife-torn southern state. The march across 12 states is seen as a challenge to new President Vicente Fox (news - web sites), who has made concessions but not yet gone far enough to draw the rebels back to peace talks.

Ten days after Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's brother promised to give the cash back, his lawyer said yesterday he had returned about $300,000. Hugh Rodham Attorney Nancy Luque said Rodham would give back the rest of the money "as soon as he can." "It's a lot of money to have to pay back," she said. Rodham, a Florida lawyer, accepted the money for lobbying Bill Clinton on behalf of swindler Almon Braswell, who was pardoned, and drug trafficker Carlos Vignali, whose sentence was reduced. The Clintons maintain they were unaware of Rodham's arrangements for $434,000 in fees. The Clintons have told him to return the money, and Hillary Clinton reportedly has not spoken to her brother since the pay-for-pardon scandal broke. The Florida bar is probing possible misconduct by Rodham. Its rules prohibit lawyers from collecting contingency fees in criminal cases.

[CTRL] : Barak refutes testimony on calls for Rich
-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/frame/direct.asp?SITE=www.jpost.com/Editions/20 01/03/04/News/News.22335.html Barak refutes testimony on calls for Rich By Yoav Appel and News Agencies March, 04 2001 JERUSALEM (March 4) - Despite congressional testimony to the contrary, the Prime Minister's Office yesterday refuted the claim that Prime Minister Ehud Barak made three calls to then president Bill Clinton in a bid to gain a pardon for fugitive financier Marc Rich. According to testimony given Thursday to the House Government Reform Committee hearing on Clinton's 11th-hour pardons, Barak called Clinton at least three times to urge him to pardon Rich. Three witnesses gave the same testimony - former White House chief of staff John Podesta, former White House counsel Beth Nolan, and former Clinton adviser Bruce Lindsey. But last night the Prime Minister's Office was still standing by its the statement that Barak gave following the pardon. "The prime minister made one call and the matter was only raised at the end of the phone call, where Barak stressed Marc Rich's contribution to Israeli society," a source at the Prime Minister's Office said. A source close to Barak expressed great surprise that people close to Clinton have passed the responsibility for Rich's pardon on to Israel. "It is obvious that a marginal telephone mention did not play a deciding role in the granting of the pardon. Even if it is convenient to say so, it is untrue, especially when other requests by Barak in which he invested much greater effort, like [Jonathan] Pollard, were not granted," said the source. ... and Clinton is reduced to sending Carville out to lie to Tim Russert for him about it ... Sunday March 4 2:02 PM ET Clinton Aide: Barak Had Key Role in Rich Pardon Photos Reuters Photo By Sue Pleming WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak played a crucial role in former President Clinton's decision to grant a last-minute pardon to fugitive financier Marc Rich, a close friend of Clinton said on Sunday. Former Clinton aide and longtime friend James Carville said the president had been through a ``long, torturous, important process'' with Israel to try to hammer out a Middle East peace agreement and wanted to help Barak by granting the pardon. ``He wanted to help them (the Israelis). They wanted Rich pardoned for reasons I can understand partially ... he made a judgement call,'' said Carville. ``To say there is some kind of illegality here is nutty,'' added Carville. Several of Clinton's top aides, who advised him not to pardon Rich, have also said Clinton was influenced by Barak, who was defeated in the Israeli prime ministerial election on Feb. 6 by right-winger Ariel Sharon and could step down as early as this week. Former White House counsel Beth Nolan told a congressional hearing last week that it was Barak's telephone call to the Oval Office on Jan. 19 that seemed to turn the tide in the Rich case. Rich fled to Switzerland 17 years ago to avoid prosecution on racketeering, wire fraud, income tax evasion and illegal oil trading charges. Also an Israeli citizen, Rich has donated generously to causes there. He received a pardon from Clinton on his last day in office on Jan. 20. ``Prime Minister Barak made enormous concessions to try to get a peace agreement. ... On the last day, he (Barak) called and said, 'I really would like you to do this (pardon Rich),' and the president did it,'' said Carville. Carville said he could understand why people would be critical of Clinton's decision, but he dismissed suggestions the president was influenced by political donors. ``If money was talking, he certainly would have pardoned Michael Milken,'' Carville said, referring to the financier who made millions in the junk bond industry before pleading guilty to securities fraud in 1990. Milken served two years in prison and had attracted high- profile support for a pardon. 'Great Sideshow' Carville said he believed the furor over Clinton's pardons was a ``great sideshow'' to detract from President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s $1.6 trillion tax cut. The House of Representatives' Government Reform Committee, a Senate panel and federal criminal investigators are looking into allegations that more than $1 million in donations from Rich's former wife, Denise, to Democratic candidates and groups may have played a role in the pardon, as well as money given to the Clinton presidential library. Indiana Rep. Dan Burton (news - bio - voting record), chairman of the House Government Reform Committee (news - web sites), told NBC's ``Meet the Press'' there was no logical explanation for the pardon of Rich, who fled the country and renounced his U.S. citizenship rather than face the charges against him. ``If Mr. Rich thought he wasn't guilty, you can bet your bottom dollar he wouldn't have given up his American citizenship and fled the country,'' he said. The only explanation for the pardon,

[CTRL] WND: Barak refutes testimony on calls for Rich
-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/frame/direct.asp?SITE=www.jpost.com/Editions/20 01/03/04/News/News.22335.html Barak refutes testimony on calls for Rich By Yoav Appel and News Agencies March, 04 2001 JERUSALEM (March 4) - Despite congressional testimony to the contrary, the Prime Minister's Office yesterday refuted the claim that Prime Minister Ehud Barak made three calls to then president Bill Clinton in a bid to gain a pardon for fugitive financier Marc Rich. According to testimony given Thursday to the House Government Reform Committee hearing on Clinton's 11th-hour pardons, Barak called Clinton at least three times to urge him to pardon Rich. Three witnesses gave the same testimony - former White House chief of staff John Podesta, former White House counsel Beth Nolan, and former Clinton adviser Bruce Lindsey. But last night the Prime Minister's Office was still standing by its the statement that Barak gave following the pardon. "The prime minister made one call and the matter was only raised at the end of the phone call, where Barak stressed Marc Rich's contribution to Israeli society," a source at the Prime Minister's Office said. A source close to Barak expressed great surprise that people close to Clinton have passed the responsibility for Rich's pardon on to Israel. "It is obvious that a marginal telephone mention did not play a deciding role in the granting of the pardon. Even if it is convenient to say so, it is untrue, especially when other requests by Barak in which he invested much greater effort, like [Jonathan] Pollard, were not granted," said the source. = 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.

Subject: GLOBAL 2000: EARTH FIRST! FOR THE "MASTER RACE"
My transcript of a recent episode of a public access show,
originating in Chicago, called "Broadsides". This episode
featured independent researcher Sherman Skolnick, and author Mark
Sato. Note that in the following I neither necessarily agree nor
disagree with some or all of the views expressed.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
[...continued...]
MARK SATO [continues]:
And to give you an example: after the Nazis kind of "went
away"...
SHERMAN SKOLNICK:
Well that's your theory that they went away.
SATO:
Well...
SKOLNICK:
I don't think they went away at all.
SATO:
Well, they were...
SKOLNICK:
I think they're still here!
SATO:
..they were, allegedly, defeated.
But, of course, they *didn't* go away, precisely because the
people who sponsored the idea of eugenics didn't go away.
SKOLNICK:
..a eugenics society in the United States promoting this?
SATO:
By and large, the idea of eugenics has floated over to the
environmental people.
SKOLNICK:
Really?
SATO:
Pollution control and...
SKOLNICK:
Pollution's about the same thing?
SATO:
Yeah. Pollution control means population control, because the
more people you have the more pollution you have, and the more
danger we all face because there's "too many" people on the face
of the earth!
SKOLNICK:
And the aristocracy, a few years ago, through one of their secret
society meetings -- the Bilderbergs or Trilateral Commission,
whatever -- say, "Hey. All you in the aristocracy! Promote
environmental. We gotta have..."
Where'd they have their conference? In Brazil or something? They
had some big conference: "Promote the Environment".
SATO:
Just recently they had the Cairo Conference.
SKOLNICK:
O.K. So, but what you're saying is, this is just another word for
eugenics,
SATO:
That's right.
SKOLNICK:
..to "weed out" what they feel are "inferior" people.
SATO:
Now most of the environmentalists are, consider themselves
liberal. And they would be horrified of this idea that you would
*pick* the, for the most part, the people of color to get rid of
because there's "too many" people on the face of the earth. But
that, by and large, is what they *really* are saying, despite
their perhaps, ignorance...
SKOLNICK:
Well they have the media on their side.
SATO:
..the real meaning of their movement.
SKOLNICK:
I mean, they have the media on their side. Because, I mean, who
do ya see as what I call "anchor faces", anchor people? "Blonde-
haired dummies", as I call 'em. With a few token Oriental-
Americans and a few... Like Linda Yu, over here, who's connected
with the Chinese royal family...
SATO:
Well they are indeed, Sherman, they are indeed tokens. Because
the modern science... I don't really wanna call it "science". But
the modern philosophy of eugenics is, was fathered by Bertrand
Russell.
SKOLNICK:
What about him?
SATO:
Well Bertrand Russell, who was a British (and I hesitate to use
the word "philosophy")...
SKOLNICK:
I thought he was for peace? That's the only time I heard of
Bertrand Russell, I heard he was...
SATO:
Well... Bertrand Russell was *for* peace -- as in, "rest in
peace" -- for most of the people of the earth. He said, "The
white population of the world will soon cease to increase. The
asiatic races will be longer, and the negroes still longer,
before their birth rate falls sufficiently to make their numbers
stable without help of war and pestilence." And of course, he
*did* mean to impose war and pestilence on the asians and the,
what he called "negroes". "Until that happens, the benefits aimed
at by socialism can only be partially realized." (He was a
socialist.) "And the less prolific races will have to defend
themselves" -- Wait a minute -- "will have to defend themselves
by methods which are disgusting, even if they are necessary."
SKOLNICK:
I... He either mis-used the term socialism, in applying to
himself... But there is a certain...
SATO:
Never mind, Sherman. That's a *whole* different thing. Let's not
get off on that tangent. Don't worry about... Don't worry about
Mr. Russell's mis-using the word, because he wants to mis-use the
entire planet! So don't worry about that little item.
SKOLNICK:
So, in other words, he was for "peace" from the standpoint of
"rest in peace". Well all right.
SATO:
Right. Now the progress of Mr. Russell's ideas wound up in a
report called "Global 2000".
SKOLNICK:
Which is the title of this show.
SATO:
Which is the title of this show. This big report,

-Caveat Lector- The reference to Kissinger as being Zafardi - this is spelled with an S - it is jewish, spanish connection and Maltese? Like Zion and Sion - this s and z thing is something else. So what is Henry Kissinger other than the man who wants to corner the market of the food and wants the planet for himself and his friends? Talk of Mengele - this guy is worse than ten of them.More humane - that old expression the Devil made me do it - for you see you are given a choice - like Clinton's "let them get the first shot? Then go ahead and slaughter. The idea is the bible will teach you right from wrong - like Sodom and Gomorrah...now put Jerry Falwell on one side and Larry Flynt on the other side - and you are then given a choicedrugs, over indulgence in sex and sodomy - and this stuff now is being directed to the kids and they are starting early - now in elementary school to accomplish their goal. These evil people then if America breaks and permits this evil teaching in the schools - well who is to blame but yourself for you had a choice, right - free country Talk about mind control - it begins in the schools and it begins from the day you are born you are programmed and monkey see, monkey do. Now the chosen ones, those that will be taught in private schools or religious schools = you thnk they will permit the teaching of sodomy as beginner courses? No - they will not. This is being done in public schools at tax payer expense and it is all over the world. The Gay Pride flag may fly - but try now flying the Confederate Flag - me, I fly the Bonnie Blue and People think it is the Dallas Cowboy flag So the day will come when our children our dying that then Jerry Falwell and his ilk will say I told you so.and those that followed Larry Flynt an his pornography and lew and lascivicious ways = will be dying from Aids. Is this genocide - noyou had a choice. It it suicide? No, not a shot was fired and no crime agains sodomy now in most states. Is it murder? Well think again what Clinton said about Murder - the Davidians Murdered themselves? Think David Kore(sh) would teach his followers sodomy? No - my believe is this - Kore(sh) had the master plan for he knew the secrets in the bible. The Bible is being used by the conspirators as a Master Plan for MURDER timed and keyed to the Stars and the Testaments Ah as Job's Coffin appears in the sky in Spring in June on into July - I always think of the Kennedy family and the Sons of Jobmurdered by the Sabeans. The spies.and when the Archer takes aim on Novembe 22 - I think of the sun god lying dead at his feet at approximately 11:35.and when I think of the communist Civil Rights March staring in 1960 for the kill - I think of the Tribe of Gad - the Overcomers for They Shall Overthrow - pardon, Overcome was the name ofo the song was it not. Oh there is music in the air but nobody listens do they .I am Black but Comely - Black is beautiful..yes Black is beautiful - nothing more beautiful than a beautiful white or black pedigree pure bred horse. So - this is interesting item..maybe people see what the like to see - others dare not look at the truth too long for it is what you call a trip to land of Oz only some our of kids are getting stuck in the poppy choice Ah but again, this is a free Society where our kids are being taught, to murder themselves by perverted twisted people who quite honestly, want 2/3 of them dead by hook or crook - and I imagine drugs have been contaminated too - as the NWO Prophetess said, this psuedo religious political propagandist Jean Dixon . the filth and garbage must be removed and we must all be cleansed with fire. Well that old bat where she is now, I do not think she will need her fur coat - as for Henry Kissinger - he is the most evil man in the world and he drew out power - like let us say the Bank President who hired a bunch of people to run his computers and he didn't even know how to go on line - so little tails wag big dogs...this is how Henry Kissinger got in when the two Rockefellers were knocked off - and do not think they were not murdered, this Nelson and John for this was the beginning of the real take over. So are we to be the fish or the fisherman? Maybe about time we threw out the net and and fought back? For it is our choice for our children - who cannot say a simple prayer in school, but will be and are being taught that sodomy is a perfectly normal lifestylesomehow I keep thinking about this little 8 year old strip searched by this teacher.mother wants half million bucks. Hope he enjoyed his expensive strip show - but the schools are now so infested with this Gay Pride stuff - one must be careful to guard you child..and what restroom will this "third sex" use - little boys in the girls room and the lesbians in the boys rooms? Maybe we can build this unisex restroom - but keep them out of the city and state parks,

[CTRL] Fwd: [GATA] AngloGold warned against pursuing Gold Fields
By Bob Chapman The International Forecaster (posted at www.LeMetropoleCafe.com) March 3, 2001 One of our operatives in South Africa acquired the following communication at great risk, and the contents were so explosive he felt he had to pass it on to us for publication. As most of you know, I lived in southern Africa for three years and have never let our line there fall into disuse. We think AngloGold could well be complicitous in the gold price-fixing scandal. The presence of a director of J.P. Morgan on the board of AngloGold adds to the seriousness of the allegation. Now that the following letter has been published worldwide, we hope it will bring to an end AngloGold's efforts to take over Gold Fields, at least until it is determined whether there is a conspiracy. The following communication speaks for itself. It would be even better if AngloGold CEO Bobby Godsell would do the right thing and voluntarily announce that under present circumstances any interest AngloGold might have in Gold Fields would not be pursued until the situation is clarified. That way the company could assist in discovery, which would be in the best interest of all of us. * * * To Mr. K. H. Williams, Marketing Director, AngloGold: I have followed the GATA/Howe lawsuit very carefully for some time. Through nominees and associates we hold a very large number of Gold Fields shares. It is clear, even to a layman, that it is in the interest of AngloGold to effect takeovers (that this has happened and is still happening is a fact) of gold producers at a low gold price (effectively depressing the market value of any such producer that is in the sight of an AngloGold takeover). The proof in the GATA conspiracy issue is that AngloGold is snapping up gold producers suffering under a manipulated gold price and effecting takeovers at depressed market values. The GATA conspiracy issue is not circumstantial. AngloGold's takeover bid for Gold Fields prior to the discovery process in the GATA/Howe lawsuit, when an imminent rise in the gold price is in the cards and will put Gold Fields beyond the reach of AngloGold, is incontrovertible fact. The conspirators and the beneficiaries of a manipulated gold price are acting unlawfully, more specifically when they continue to do so while these very serious allegations are being investigated. You need not be told that the matter is very serious. If the conspiracy is merely based on circumstantial evidence as you are alleging, why do you not actively support the discovery process to get to the bottom of these conspiracy allegations and discontinue takeover bids under circumstances created by the conspirators and manipulators of the gold price? Surely AngloGold would have no objection to delaying its takeover bid of Gold Fields until the GATA/Howe discovery process has been completed and evidence emerging from this discovery process has been evaluated. The result of the discovery process will have a positive effect on the gold price. This result will not be in the best interest of AngloGold. But it is requested that AngloGold delay its takeover bid for Gold Fields until at least after the GATA/Howe discovery process and the evaluation of the evidence flowing therefrom. This discovery process will answer very important questions in respect of the conspiracy issue around the manipulation of the gold price. (Since your own views are that the evidence of a gold price manipulation is circumstantial, wait for the process to be completed.) If AngloGold makes a bid for Gold Fields and benefits from an unlawful gold manipulation process, AngloGold would be acting illegally to the prejudice of others. Any attempt by AngloGold at this stage to proceed with its takeover bid for Gold Fields would be irregular and is objected to. Your e-mail forwared to Chris Powell of GATA has a sinister objective that is patently transparent. AngloGold has benefitted and still is benefitting from a manipulated gold price, enabling it to move on Gold Fields. J.P. Morgan is no stranger to AngloGold. This statement will further be elaborated on in due course in the appropriate forum, if necessary. AngloGold is hereby informed that should it proceed with the takeover bid for Gold Fields at this stage (prior to the GATA/Howe discovery process and the evaluation of the evidence flowing therefrom) and when the gold price is manipulated for the undoubted benefit of AngloGold, legal proceedings will be instituted against it to block any takeover bid for Gold Fields, alternatively for legal proceedings to recover all damages from AngloGold and its directors in respect of an AngloGold takeover of Gold Fields at a deflated price. AngloGold will have the opportunity to answer questions under oath in a South African or international court through which legal proceedings will be instituted. That AngloGold is urgently pursuing its takeover bid of Gold Fields at this stage (low gold price and low share price) and before the
[CTRL] From Tribe to Gang
-Caveat Lector- My old friend, W. David Kubiak, has started a website and discussion group (of which I am a co-moderator) called Big Medicine, whose stated purpose is "dissecting corporate pathology". The basic assumption is that corporations, or Big Bodies, can be understood as a (comparatively new) form of social organism which threaten to dominate humanity and the planet, and whose interests are by no means identical to, nor perhaps even consistent with, those of human organisms... Here is an excerpt from his script for one episode of an NPR radio program, which deals with the rise of the military class and the concomitant imposition of hierarchy: ** There are several instructive ways to look at Big Body evolution - one that compares their formation to so-called super-organisms in other species, one that envisions how they actually began to form in early human societies, and one that traces their increasing diversification and dominance in modern human culture. First we have to remember how really, really old we are as a species - by latest accounts at least 2 million years - and for 99% of that time we lived in hunting, gathering tribes. Now imagine the daily flow of tribal life and how authority or the command of attention was distributed in your group. Tribes lived a common life but faced a diversity of challenges and, depending on the moment, very different kinds of people were looked to for leadership and direction. When meat was scarce, the tribe looked to its most able hunters; when crops were needed, it looked to its savviest plant people; when feasts were to be prepared, the best cooks assumed authority; when construction was required, the deftest builders led the group; when illness struck, those with healing talents commanded attention; and when festivity was called for - as it very frequently was in this world - the most inspired musicians and dancers ruled. In other words, the spotlight of attention and the authority it conferred shone on many different members of the group, depending on the moment, the talents available and the organic needs of the day. Such societies not only did not invite centralized power, they actively resisted it with an antique social trait that anthropologists call counter-dominance. That is, when one member got too high on his horse or uppity, a few of the lads would briskly step in and deflate a few of his airs. It was a natural problem. Many people who finally get attention don't like to let the spotlight go. You perhaps know the feeling. When everyone's attention is upon you, they are intimately connected to you and expand your being, feeling of power and the reach of your will. When multitudes attend you, you fill all their minds and you are magnified. When they are diverted to another attraction, you once become again single, solitary and small. When the spotlight shifts, when your moment in the limelight ends, you fall back into a kind of social darkness - and impotence. Most people hate the feeling, but hey, that's life. Or at least it was life during 99% of our history. No matter how much our tribal ancestors wished to prolong their personal turn on the stage, it was obvious you could not extend a hunt, a harvest, a plague, or even a party forever. Thus to every person, like every biblical thing, there was a season that came and went in time. Problem is, there was an exception to this wisdom, a militant exception. Beside their regular need for food, shelter and boogie, tribes occasionally required defense. Nasty or expansive neighbors could suddenly burst on the scene demanding instant collective response. As in other times of specialized need, the group looked toward its best fighters - the strongest, the sly and the mean - and followed their lead until the danger was passed. Now these bully boys may also have felt a bit wistful when their brief taste of glory passed, but unlike other trades, the brutal types had recourse to a permanent solution. If your pre-eminent power and perks only last as long as your fellows feel threatened, why not prolong that threat forever? The deep irrefutable logic of this insight has gouged the bloody course of human history. In tribal days, warrior-necessitating jeopardy could be extended indefinitely simply by jabbing the neighbors occasionally - snatching a goat or wench or scalp whenever tranquillity got out of hand. Since the resulting retaliation usually fell on innocent heads, a spirit of fear and vengeance could build up in the tribe until they saw in the neighbors an implacable and relentless foe. Relentless threats are clearly the best, because by definition they never go away, and thus the anxious need for perpetual military authority is born. This brilliant ploy changed everything - it concretized hierarchy and centralized rule, finally making real Big Bodies possible. It forced neighbors into slavery or
