You have a very warped view of history, but maybe that's the way our Statist government wants people to view WWII. Maybe they want to turn everyone into pacifists so we won't fight back when they try to enslave us totally. You seem to forget that the Japanese wiped out Pearl Harbor and murdered thousands of people both military and civilian. You seem to forget that we dropped leaflets on Hiroshima and Nagasaki telling the population to run for the hills because we were going to decimate their town if the Emperor didn't surrender. You also seem to forget the military is under civilian control; the President ordered the bombings. Just where do you get this hypothesis that the bombings of these two cities were propaganda? It was to prevent an invasion of Honshu which would have resulted in millions of deaths on both sides. I'm afraid that YOU are the one who has been mis-educated by the ' gubment'. There are several good sources from that era as well as more recent ones which make it quite clear that Roosevelt forced the Japanese to attack us so that he could get us into a war. Answer: To use domestically against civilians. All the more reason to be armed, to protect against such tyranny and governmental abuse, You are INSANE if you think you can stand up to the US Gov if it decides to take your guns, or anything else it wants to do to you. INSANE! but if you have your way we will be disarmed and helpless. You should learn that fabian socialism/communism/fascism's goals includes disarming of citizens so they will be helpless against the "Mother" State. Government is not your friend. Government is raw force that needs to be controlled, not set free to run amuck. I agree 1000%. But dead gun nuts will just create another health hazard as they lay rotting in the streets. Answer: To sell the technology to other countries for the same purpose. If we stop these weapons from being used successfully here, maybe other countries wouldn't want to buy these weapons to use against their own citizens. This is a very important point. We, as American citizens can do much to prevent the misery our economic and political systems are foisting upon the rest of the world. CONTROL YOUR ELITES! The second amendment is the most important part of the Constitution for the only defense against and armed force is a bigger armed force and the armed citizens of this country outnumber the military in overwhelming numbers at this time.

[CTRL] Fwd: Gov't/Mil Units Deploy HAARP, Other Sys's To Counteract April POLE SHIFT - MORE]
Well more from the News Hawk - so since I was 7 or 8 I remember being told there would be a pole shift and in Ohio we could live in a balmy Florida type climate with Ireland Forever greenthis change or position of the axis is nothing new - and if there is a shift as scientists have said will over for over a 100 years of which I am aware - such shift would probably be gradual - maybe this is the spin off? Now we had this new stuff going up into the skies and our area was saturated with contrails and X marks the spot - we have the heavens so ful of space junk - like asteroids which are bound to crash someday - real stars are fixed, I hope. News Hawk - No Wonder - but he has turned into a Chicken Little. Weather control has been around now prior to 60 period but was classified in 1965.why bother with all this classification and scorpio stuff? Clinton gives away our secrets. As for the FBI giving away secrets - to whom does the Director of the FBI answer - a Russian Soviet Spy in the FBI for 16 years; and, for some reason am I surprised? With Freeh and Albright and Kissinger, all of whom have broken bread with KGB- the latter being former Soviet Agent Code Nam Bor - and then we have the Mossad tapping the lines of the President through his prostitute? Shh - they say these very messages I am now typing are being MONITORED..what is the idea to having an idea or thought? To keep it to yourself - the FBI would do well to dump this Freeh and put a real American in this job.used to be no bastards would be permitted in the Temple until the 5th generation - we now have some first generation bastards running the bomb shows (like Albright in the Balkans). I think Night Hawk should be called Chicken Hawk for they have all come home to roost; no mention of the enemy within - the REAL enemy within. So hey Chicken Hawk - the SKY IS FALLING THE SUN IS RUNNING OUT OF LIGHT.and they are working on a peace process in the Holy Land - time expired on the old one - this peace process has been going on for over 2,000 yearsbut do not hurt the oil and wine and corn (such a thing as corn oil too)... Idea is to laugh, drink and be merry - for tomorrow we all die anyway - is just a matter of when. Nostradamus bombed out again - for he said in 1666 world would end - and to surving being called a liar and a phoney prophet and what nots, possibly being murdered by those who gave all they had a way - he said then 1999 the world will send.Well that magic number - 6 and an upside 9 - it is now 2001 and I am not angry this weirdo was wrong. Now if I were to play a role from the bible, I think I would want to play the bright and Morning Star - the one taught not to sing out of the wrong and same song book - the missing chord - but this Night Hawk or Chicken Hawk sings same old tune but too often overlooks who is playing whom and what, in the bible - the key to all secrets be they for evil or for good. Goodnight Hawk and watch those contrailsits open season on Chicken Hawks coming home to roost. And Hawk - for years we have heard about Florida and California going to fall off face of the earth - and near me according to Edgar Cayce settled the ancient Atlanteans.seemed more like Old Welsh to me..Plato knew about the two streams of water, one hot and one cold which served as an underground sea jet for the little lemmings and seals and big turtles who all had secrets.. So the Chicken Hawk is an Old News Hawk hawking - pardon chickening the news.for evrything old, is new again to Chcken Hawk.

The Future - Chips with Everything? [Unable to display image] HOW THE IMPLANTED CHIP OR MARK OF THE BEAST WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. By Nick Sandberg So, if there really was a coherent body organising all of this, what would their motivation be? And, where might all this be leading? The primary motivation behind all elite activities is the desire for control. It's the base desire to control everything . To take a vast, dynamic planet-full of people; different races, different beliefs, different lives; and render them into a single homogenised unit, under your central control. This is what truly motivates the elite. To bring about this highly negative state of affairs, the elite must be active on two fronts simultaneously - the world outside and the world inside, the planet and the mind. In the 'world outside', the objective the elite are working toward is globalisation, the creation of three vast interlocked markets centred on America, Europe and Asia, followed by their full integration into a single trading block. A global marketplace peopled with consumer-workers and serviced at the lower end via third world debt. In the 'world inside', the plan is to get all humanity microchipped. For despite a multiplicity of control tactics currently being imposed on us; things like mortgages, credit cards, street surveillance systems and pharmaceutical antidepressants; people still have a basic level of personal freedom. Though it's getting harder to do so, we can still walk out of consumerism and embark on a new life. But if we're chipped, this won't happen. For scientists' knowledge of neuroscience is now such that, by having a microchip the size of a grain of rice implanted inside our body, we can be regulated at an emotional level. By gaining control over our body's receptor-ligand network, our emotional state can be manipulated by electrical signals, either as a part of a chip's program or via remote signalling. Thus creating a perfect consumer workforce. Work, buy, procreate, sleep - a life stripped down to materialism and survival, without any unpleasant emotions to get in the way. So, the question for the elite is, how do they get people to get the chips fitted? And make sure that they aren't removed? For, even though our planet has advanced considerably along the road to becoming a world consumerist superstate, most people are still highly resistant to the idea of having a chip put under their skin. There is therefore a progressive strategy that will be gradually implemented to lead us, step by step, into permitting this nightmare future to come about. It will unfold in three stages. First - the removal of cash. Second -the placing of all personal and financial data on individual 'smartcards'. Thirdly, the gradual elimination of smartcards to be replaced by personal microchips. The only way of getting people to accept being chipped is for them to believe it is necessary. Bank details, credit ratings, employment status and similar information can all easily be programmed into a chip and updated via remote signal or by passing it across a reader. Therefore, its first necessary to render all money electronic, and to get people to carry around their personal details on some form of 'smart card' - a credit-card sized device bearing all the details that they need for daily transactions. Once this is achieved, any number of problems can be manufactured within the smartcard system such that people will need to get the chip actually put inside their body if they are to be able to conduct transactions safely. Removing cash from our society. For the past twenty years we have been slowly led towards giving up cash in favour of electronic money. And in the last ten the heat has been turned up. The increased promotion of credit cards, phone banking, mail order and internet shopping have all, in part, helped to bring about a society where the need for cash transactions is greatly reduced. Yet most people still like carrying cash. More will have to be done if cash is to be eliminated completely. One strategy may be the introduction of new, multinational currencies not available as cash. The Euro, the currency for the European Union, may be such a thing. Another likely strategy will be the gradual implementation of 'smart citizenship' schemes in various European cities. 'Smart citizenship' is one of a variety of euphemisms now emerging for 'cashless society' and once one city has been signed up, the so-called benefits will be extensively aired via the media to encourage others to follow suit. (In April 2000 it was announced that the UK city of Southampton will host a 'smart citizenship' scheme commencing 2002.) Yet another possibility, connected with 'smart citizenship', is that cash will be removed from our society on the pretext of eliminating the illicit drug trade. Many cities now have around 1% of their population injecting heroin daily. (In some UK cities it is approaching

To receive MER regularly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MER Editorial: OH MY GOD! CLINTON WON'T LEAVE THE WORLD ALONE! They came to Washington -- the two-for-one power couple -- with the campaign promise to bring health care to all Americans; they left (but Hillary is already back on Capitol Hill) with the dangerous corporate for profit HMO's in power and more uninsured than ever despite the economic juggernaunt. They came to Washington promising campaign finance reform -- they left with things worse than ever including a stain and smell from the Oval Office itself. And when it comes to real "peace" and world affairs, things aren't much brighter, no matter how many times Bill Clinton utters the words "peace process". Behind the rhetorical smokescreen advanced arms are pouring into the Middle East, space is about to be militarized with the Russians and Chinese threatening to respond to America's "star wars", and ABC weapons (Atomic, Biological, and Chemical) are proliferating propelled at last in significant part by American hypocrisy and militarism. And now we learn that Bill Clinton has another trip to India planned. Supposedly he's going because of his humanitarian concern for the January 26th earthquake victims. But as always with Clinton there are hidden agendas and hidden money interests. After all this is the Bill Clinton who sold himself and the White House to the Israeli/Jewish lobby as no President ever before -- something MER has been detailing from the start years ago now, not just recently, and not just with the Marc Rich fiasco. The real purpose of the upcoming Clinton visit to India it seems is to sound out a possible mediation role for the former President in the Kashmir conflict. According to The Sunday Times of India a few weeks ago, with his long-standing desire to play an ongoing role in the "Peace Processes" in Northern Ireland and the Middle East both rebuffed, it seems Bill Clinton has chosen Kashmir to keep him in the headlines and in demand. "I guess his only window is India where his natural charm appears to have floored many Indians" during his March 2000 visit, an official from the Democratic Party was quoted saying. Well...Clinton brought the Israelis and their dually-loyal friends right into the National Security Council, the State Department, and the Oval Office as no other President before him. And fronting for the Israelis as he did, and as the key Arab regimes especially Arafat allowed him to do, he managed to bring the whole region to the brink of war before he left the Oval Office. As for Northern Ireland, with the help of Clinton and George Mitchell (now reassigned to Middle East duties himself) the Brits have managed to patch together another convoluted and in the end chicanerous "peace process" in this explosive area as well. They've renamed a few things and tinkered here and there, but the British remain in occupation of Northern Ireland as has become more evident of late. Like in the Middle East they've managed to create some illusions of hope without actually ending British rule or tackling the underlying reasons the conflict continues. Plus of course let's not forget that it was the British who created both the Palestine and Kashmir conflicts in years past. But now...looking ahead...Oh my God! Bill Clinton is going to now get himself involved in a Kashmir "peace process"! Get out the hard hats, the flak jackets, and the check books. Clinton may not quite be a bull in the China shop. But he sure has turned out to be quite a hungry rat (or stinky skunk, take your pick) -- and some of us told you that a long time ago. -- MiD-EasT RealitieS - http://www.MiddleEast.Org Phone: 202 362-5266 Fax: 815 366-0800 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

-Caveat Lector- Lewinsky to do film on Clinton affair Neither HBO nor Lewinsky would discuss what shell be paid ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK, March 5 Monica Lewinsky has agreed to take part in an HBO documentary about her affair with Bill Clinton and its impact on the nation. The former White House intern told The New York Times that the passage of time has provided her with new perspective that would go beyond what she revealed in her biography Monicas Story. THAT BOOK captured that time for me, she said. The last couple of years have been such a time of intense growth and perspective for me. I want to do something that really reflects the way I feel now. Sheila Nevins, head of HBOs documentary unit, said she believed there were still issues worth exploring, particularly why this very minor event became one of such enormous magnitude. Advertisement The documentary, which will be produced by the team that made the HBO documentary Juror No. 5: 58 Days of Duty on the O.J. Simpson Civil Trial, is expected to air next January. Neither HBO nor Lewinsky would discuss how much she would be paid for her participation, the newspaper reported. © 2001 Associated Press.

The former presidents legacy has been taking a beating lately with foes raising questions about how his library was funded. Now, the Scoop has learned that a decidedly anti-Clinton businessman has secured the rights to the Web domain http:www.presidentclintonlibrary.com and plans to post info about the embattled ex-presidents various scandals. The site will be going up shortly. Ive had [the domain] for fifteen months. The timing is impeccable. MICHAEL OHARA - founder of a new anti-Clinton Web site LETS JUST SAY it will be an alternative to what youll find in the actual Clinton Library, chuckles Michael OHara, who describes himself as a financial consultant and who works out of Palm Desert, Calif. OHara insists that he is an Independent, not a Republican and does not work on behalf of any Republican-backed organization. He does say, however, that I or one of the corporations I work for will fund the anti-Clinton Web site, though he declines to name the client. The site will be going up shortly, OHara says. Of the latest series of scandals, he is downright gleeful: Ive had [the domain] for fifteen months. The timing is impeccable. Lewinskys diva act Another person who doesnt seem able to escape the infamy of the Clinton era is Monica Lewinsky and some cynics are claiming that, despite protests to the contrary, she wants another 15 minutes of fame. The woman at the center of the presidential sex scandal arrived at the launch party for a magazine looking and acting every inch a diva, says one appalled source. Lewinsky arrived at Ciprianis for the launch party of Gotham magazine with four burly guys who looked like security guards, according to eyewitnesses. She had a flower behind an ear a la Billie Holliday and was wearing a spangled pink bustier and that showed off her ample bosoms, says one source. In a sea of media types wearing all black, she stood out like a sore thumb. This is from a woman who says she wants her privacy. When Lewinsky tried to leave the party, however, things got messy. The paparazzi went insane, says the insider. They broke through a barricade and surrounded her car. She couldnt get away. All this time has passed since the scandal, and its still not easy being Monica Lewinsky.

[CTRL] Clinton Slowly Sinks in Sunset
-Caveat Lector- Saturday, Mar. 3, 2001 11:25 a.m. EST Koch: I Hope They Prosecute Clinton Former New York City mayor and lifelong Democrat Ed Koch said Saturday he hopes ex-President Clinton will be prosecuted if investigators turn up evidence showing he committed crimes in Pardongate. "How low the mighty have fallen. And he brought it on all on his own," Koch told Bloomberg News Radio's Wes Smith. "What he did with the commutations and the pardons is so shocking. And if they find a money trail, and it wouldn't shock me if they did, I hope they can get him criminally." Mr. Clinton along with his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, are currently the subjects of a Pardongate criminal probe by U.S. Attorney for New York's Southern District Mary Jo White. Koch defended Clinton throughout impeachment and was one of the earliest advocates of congressional censure as an alternative punishment. But he has also been among the most critical of the Clintons since the pardons-for-cash scandal erupted. Two weeks ago the former mayor said that he hoped investigators would "leave no stone unturned" as they probe the ex-president's pardon of fugitive billionaire Marc Rich. The feisty Democrat, who's making a rapid recovery from a recent heart attack, also had some surprisingly kind words for President George Bush after his State of the Union address on Tuesday. "It was a home run; he was magnificent," Koch told Bloomberg News. "And what was interesting was that the Republicans and Democrats stood and applauded him. He had an enormous number of applause lines." While he thinks Reagan and Clinton were better speakers, Koch said, "There is a genuineness to [Bush] that is very, very affecting in a very positive way."

-Caveat Lector- So they call it Christmas Blues Have always wondered about lack of sunshine in these new buildings - for instance in this one State Officer Town the windows which are many are in hallways, or in offices of administrative directors, etc - and the the continuity in government, the Civil Service sit in center in these horrible alcoves which I would find impossible to use, with those awful lights that add 10 years to you? And then the air is recycled.this one floor many people were dying from cancer, etc., and the day I visited this floor - they were tearing cable out of the floors and or ceilings? Is this what turned Michael Jackson pasty white? Like warmed over death? Is this secret to cattle butchered out west maybae after something more than just - well tadpoles were once put into a tank of pineal glands taken from cows, etc., and they turned colorless - almost clear..this is effect of melatonin, etc. If kids were to get back into bright sunny classrooms - would they need to take the neurotransmitter pills they would now force of them? I wonder during a lobotomy, is the pineal glad which looks like pine acorn - is this removed too - this is where the Indian Psychics sometimes go through ritual to activate what is called this Third Eyewith some people this eye opens naturally? Like Octupus - maybe like eye in back of head opening doors of perception but drugs enhances this mystery of mysteries? So John Glenn on his last space trip was to be experiment with melatonin - suddenly before he went, it was dumped - anything I hate are these fluoroescent lights - in fact, I am somewhat allergic to them. So the shorter the days get, the more depressed one gets? Maybe we need light bults like sunshine again to brighten the spirits? All those cattle being butchered - wonder if someone has not already got the contracts for this myserious pineal gland - which can remove pigmentatioan of skin? So under subject if you pull this up more information of pineal gland - now if Gore was on some of this stuff which I think he and Clinton both indulged in some of these "doors of perception being opened"well the Oracle would say yes you will win electionso like phoney prophets always leave door open and motor running..some call this propaganda..others call it oracle - soothsaying?

Melatonin synthesis is halted when light hits the retina of the eye, sending impulses to the gland via the optic nerve. Besides influencing daily, or circadian, rhythms such those of as sleep and temperature, the pineal gland and melatonin appear to direct annual rhythms and seasonal changes in animals. The pineal gland and melatonin are now being studied for their roles in sleep, reproduction, aging, and seasonal affective disorder. In humans the pineal gland begins to produce melatonin at age 3 months; production falls steadily from puberty on. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright 2001 Columbia University Press.

[CTRL] Colin Powell is Programmed Manchurian Candidate?
-Caveat Lector- Now we see him - big stuffed shirt, talks like parrot - attempted to outstage Bush when he accepted his new position - and now he is making polcies on his own? Always thought the President made the policies - evidently like a Kissinger, Colin Powell tries to step into shoes of the masters? Ever see that movie The Servant? This was coming for Powell is well trained and windbag...maybe Bush should send him out like a Uriah to make peace in Holy Land - visit Afganistan maybe or Palestine? See how other half lives? Now we will see who is Commander in Chief.I stil wonder how that guy got on Joint Chief of Staff? Saba For the story behind the story... Sunday, March 4, 2001 Rumsfeld Last to Know About Powell Europe Policy Already the rift between Secretary of State Colin Powell and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is beginning to become apparent. Last month, when Colin Powell announced that the U.S. would support plans for an integrated European military, he did so without consulting with Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld was said to be fuming about the major policy move by Powell and Condoleezza Rice, the president's National Security Adviser. National Security insiders tell NewsMax.com that the diagreement over a European army suggests a growing division in the Bush administration between Powell and Rice on one hand, and Vice President Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld on the other. Rumsfeld has argued that any movement toward an independent European military force could undermine NATO and should be opposed. The French, who are not part of NATO, have been the most significant advocates of the European force. In early February, Rumsfeld attended a Munich conference with other NATO national defense ministers. At the conference he cleverly stated the Europeans were free to create their own military, but that they should expect no support or logistical help from NATO. The "decoupling" of Europe from the United States has been a long-held policy of Russia and socialists across Europe. The creation of the military force has been viewed as key to achieving that goal. Powell's comments in support of the European military force without reservation were considered too enthusiastic even for the Bush White House, sources say. When President Bush met with British Prime Minister Tony Blair last month, he was asked about the administration's view of such a force. Bush couched his response by saying such a force would be a positive development as long as it helped to strengthen NATO.

[CTRL] Perennial presidental candidate Harold Stassen, dead at 93
-Caveat Lector- http://www.latimes.com/obituary/20010304/tCB00V5187.html Sunday, March 4, 2001 Ex-Minnesota Gov. Stassen Dies at 93 BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -Perennial presidential candidate Harold E. Stassen, whose name became a synonym for political futility despite a distinguished career as a governor, diplomat and university president, died Sunday. He was 93. Stassen died of natural causes early Sunday at Friendship Village, a retirement community in this Minneapolis suburb where he had been living for the last few years, said his granddaughter, Rachel Stassen-Berger. Stassen, a liberal Republican, sought his party's nomination for the White House 10 times, the first in 1948 and the last in 1992. His later campaigns were regarded as little more than political curiosities, although he pushed a serious platform including global disarmament, national health care and full employment through public works projects. Though he had not won an election in half a century, Stassen bristled at being labeled a political Don Quixote. "I feel it's really been a winning life," he said in December 1991 as he filed for the 1992 New Hampshire primary. "Every one of the nine times there has been some solid result." Born April 13, 1907, on a farm near St. Paul, Stassen started his political career as a county prosecutor. His glory days began in 1938 when, at age 31, he was elected to the first of three two-year terms as governor. The 1942 election was Stassen's last successful campaign. He resigned the governorship in April 1943, four months after beginning his third term, and joined the Navy, where he served in the Pacific as assistant chief of staff to Adm. William Halsey. Stassen made his first presidential bid in 1948, traveling across the country to seek the support of GOP convention delegates. He ran on a liberal platform of federal funds for housing, limited regulation of labor, international cooperation, and adjustment of federal taxes and spending to prevent boom-or-bust swings in the economy. But he lost the nomination to Thomas E. Dewey, who in turn was defeated by President Harry Truman. After a four-year stint as president of the University of Pennsylvania, Stassen again jumped into the Republican presidential race in 1952, facing Dwight Eisenhower and conservative Ohio Sen. Robert Taft. Stassen swung the convention to Eisenhower by releasing the Minnesota delegation to him at the end of the first ballot. Stassen also ran for president in 1964, 1968, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 and 1992. In 1992, he won one delegate in the Minnesota primary. He later released the delegate to vote for whomever he wished, and Stassen did not get any votes at the convention. Stassen said he regarded his campaigns as a form of expression. "You have to run, to be willing to put yourself on the line before you can be really effective," he said in a 1978 interview. "You can talk or write about something and it has some meaning, but to be effective you have to lay it on the line. It's my life." Said Gov. Jesse Ventura, paying tribute to Stassen on Sunday: "As Minnesotans, we can be proud of a statesman who never gave up his fight for a better state, a better country and a peaceful world." Stassen's wife of 70 years and childhood sweetheart, Esther, died last October. They had a son and a daughter, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. -- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Kent State Gov. James Rhodes, dead at 91
-Caveat Lector- http://www.latimes.com/obituary/20010304/tCB00V5136.html Sunday, March 4, 2001 Ex-Ohio Gov. James Rhodes, 91, Dies COLUMBUS, Ohio--Former Gov. James A. Rhodes, whose decision to quell an anti-war protest by sending National Guard troops to Kent State University in 1970 led to four student deaths, died Sunday. He was 91. Rhodes, the state's only four-term governor, died at 2:45 p.m. at Ohio State University Medical Center from complications from an infection and heart failure, said David Crawford, a hospital spokesman. The son of a coal miner, Rhodes rose from poverty to become Columbus mayor when he was 33. The election marked the beginning of a political career that spanned nearly 50 years. Rhodes was credited with bringing many industries to Ohio. During his administrations, the state built highways, expanded the university system and put an airport in almost every county. A college dropout, he also was credited with making Ohio a leader in vocational education. But the Kent State shootings cast an indelible shadow on his career. On May 2, 1970, he decided to send the National Guard to Kent State, which, like campuses across the nation, was in turmoil over the incursion into Cambodia during the Vietnam War. Protesters had vandalized businesses in downtown Kent and the campus ROTC building was burned. On May 4, four students died and nine were wounded when troops opened fire. The reason behind the shootings was never fully learned. Lawsuits against Rhodes and other officials ended in January 1979, when the victims' families agreed to settlements totaling $675,000. Those close to him said he was saddened by the tragedy but blamed the turbulence of the war era and believed his action was necessary. Already that year there had been three riots on Ohio campuses. "The Kent State call came from the merchants and county commissioners because of the conditions that were existing the night before," Rhodes said years later. "You see, it was a consensus." In 1999, Rhodes still believed the protesters were misguided: "It was people who thought something was wrong with America." When he ran in the GOP Senate primary on May 5, 1970 -the day after the Kent State shootings -he lost to Robert Taft Jr., the father of current Gov. Bob Taft -by 6,000 votes out of about 900,000 cast. He made a comeback in 1974, narrowly defeating Democratic Gov. John Gilligan. He served two more terms, then tried another comeback in 1986, but lost. In later years, Rhodes was an Ohio presidential campaign adviser to Ronald Reagan and the elder George Bush, who said he helped them carry the state. Rhodes' wife, Helen, died in 1987. He is survived by two daughters. -- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Henry Wade of Roe vs. Wade; Ruby Prosecutor, dead at 86
-Caveat Lector- http://www.latimes.com/obituary/20010302/t18629.html Friday, March 2, 2001 Henry Wade; Named in Roe vs. Wade, Tried Jack Ruby By ELAINE WOO, Times Staff Writer Henry M. Wade, the legendary Texas prosecutor whose 36-year tenure as Dallas County district attorney placed him in the national spotlight during two historic moments--he was the Wade in the landmark abortion ruling Roe vs. Wade and he prosecuted Jack Ruby--has died. Wade died in Dallas on Thursday of complications from Parkinson's disease, according to a spokesman for his law firm, Geary, Porter Donovan. He was 86. He was a law-and-order icon in Texas who never lost a case he prosecuted. He sought the death penalty 30 times and got it 29 times. His office reported conviction rates greater than 90%. Beleaguered defense attorneys banded together in a 7 Percent Club, an acknowledgment of their unimpressive record against the formidable Wade. By his retirement in 1986, he had served longer than any other district attorney in a major U.S. city. He had plenty of critics, who said he was overzealous in his pursuit of convictions. The son of a judge, Wade was a native of Rockwall, Texas, who earned his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law in 1938. He worked four years as an FBI agent, then served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He joined the Dallas County prosecutor's office in 1947 and in 1950 was elected district attorney. Declared Oswald Kennedy's Killer As chief prosecutor when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, Wade declared Lee Harvey Oswald the killer within 10 hours of the shooting. He was criticized for being too hasty in naming Oswald as the gunman, but years later maintained his belief that Oswald acted alone. "I wouldn't have had any trouble convicting him," he said. Two days after the assassination, Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner, gunned down Oswald at point-blank range in the basement of the Dallas police headquarters while news cameras captured the slaying live. Wade led his prosecution. The jury returned a guilty verdict in one hour and 50 minutes and sentenced Ruby to death. But the conviction was overturned in 1966 by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which said it was wrong to have held the trial in Dallas because of the intensity of feelings there over the assassination. Ruby died of cancer in 1967 while awaiting a second trial. "No question he had some loose cells in his brain," Wade told the New York Times many years later. However, he added, "I'm not inclined to feel sorry for any defendants in a trial." In 1970, Wade became the first named defendant in a lawsuit by a woman who had been denied an abortion. The Roe in the famous case was Norma McCorvey, a single, pregnant carnival worker in Dallas County whose lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of Texas' 100-year-old ban on abortions except in cases where a woman's life was in jeopardy. In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court cited the Constitution's implied right to privacy in deciding that women had a right to decide about abortion in the first trimester. Legal protocol called for Wade as top prosecutor to be named first in the suit, but he did not try the case himself. McCorvey finally met Wade in 1995, but told the Associated Press that she bore no resentment toward him. "I never considered him as an enemy," McCorvey said. "He was just doing his job." Wade was a folksy, cigar-chomping figure with an East Texas drawl whom Melvin Belli, Ruby's defense lawyer, once belittled as "a country bumpkin." He was fearless around those he considered his enemies, however, once labeling a judge on the state's highest criminal court "a mental case" after the judge reversed some convictions won by Wade's office. After retiring from the district attorney's office, Wade handled criminal cases for a prominent Dallas law firm, where he maintained a strict policy of heading home by 4 every afternoon to watch reruns of his favorite TV shows: "Gunsmoke" and "Bonanza." Case Became Subject of Film One of Wade's most controversial cases involved Randall Dale Adams, who was found guilty and sentenced to death in 1977 for the murder of a Dallas police officer. Adams' case became the subject of "The Thin Blue Line," a 1988 documentary that won acclaim as a powerful indictment of the Texas justice system. Adams' accuser basically confessed to the crime in the film, which was instrumental in winning Adams' freedom in 1989. -- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Is it Time for Bush to Apologize for America's Arming of the Taliban and KLA?
The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, Belgrade, YU Is it Time for Bush to Apologize for America's Arming of the Taliban and KLA? Why the Sudden Concern Over the Destruction of Religious Statues? By: Mary Mostert, Analyst, Banner of Liberty (bannerofliberty.com) March 2, 2001 ``All officials, including the ministry of vice and virtue, have been given the go-ahead to destroy the statues,'' the Taliban's Information Minister Qadratullah Jamal said Thursday. ``The destruction work will be done by any means available to them.'' ``All the statues all over the country will be destroyed,'' he said. The statues mentioned in the article are statues of Buddha. One of them is 175 feet tall and one is 120 feet tall and they date back to the 3rd and 5th century AD. UNESCO Director General Koichiro Matsuura said of the planned destruction, ``In Afghanistan, they are destroying statues that the entire world considers to be masterpieces,'' UNESCO Director-General Koichiro Matsuura said. ``This iconoclastic determination shocks me.'' Considering what we have seen in Kosovo from the Kosovo Liberation Army fundamentalist Muslims, who also were armed and supported by the United States, the European Union, NAT O and the United Nations along this line, why would Matsuura be shocked when the Taliban follows the KLA's lead? The Western press has largely ignored the desecration and destruction of Serbian Christian Churches in Kosovo by the KLA. So, the front page reports in the Washington Post and New York Times of the Taliban's desecration and destruction of Buddhist religious statues is a most welcome surprise. The KLA and the Taliban have a lot in common. Both are armed fundamentalist Muslim fanatics determined to destroy the people and the symbols of other religions and both were initially armed and trained by the United States. Both groups were called "freedom fighters" by the West and the weapons they are using to kill, main religious people and destroy religious artifacts are mostly those they have gotten from the United States.. When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan to give aid to the Communist government, the United States provided Stinger missiles to the "freedom fighters" and taught them how to shoot down Soviet aircraft. By 1999 left over Stinger missiles were being deployed to hijack an Indian Airbus as the Taliban demanded release of some of its terrorists. The Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, dismissed the West's concerns by saying: "We do not understand why everybody is so worried. All we are breaking are stones." A mullah is honored in the Muslim faith as one who is learned in the shari'a, the sacred law of Muslims. At least the Muslims in Afghanistan are being honest about what they are doing by openly admitting why they are killing, maiming and destroying all that stands in their way of a purely Muslim state. In Kosovo over 100 Christian churches and monasteries, some dating back to the 13th and 14th century, have been destroyed by the KLA terrorists we helped arm. However, in both situations, the Western media has shown literally no concern for the suffering of the people involved, much less the threat to religious treasures. In Afghanistan, a once stable nation of 15 million people has been literally destroyed with little mention in the West that six million of its population were driven out as refugees. Cosma Shalizi in his review of "The Soviet Invasion and the Afghan Response, 1979-1982" (University of California Press, 1995), by M. Hassan Kakar, (http://www.santafe.edu/~shalizi/reviews/kakar-soviet-invasion/) notes: "The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in December 1979. It was the last hot war it would fight, and one whose failure played a leading role in its loss of the Cold War and disintegration. Afghanistan is infamous today for being in the grip of the most benighted, fanatical and misogynist government in the world. It was not always that way, but has become so through the superpowers' acts of omission and commission --- mostly commission. ... "Here we come to the sowing of the dragon's teeth. US aid to the mujahideen went through the CIA. The CIA passed it on to its counterpart in Pakistan, the ISI (which doubles as the Pakistani secret police). The ISI passed it on to the political parties of exiles in Peshawr, from whom, in turn, it finally made its way, often much-reduced, to commanders inside Afghanistan. The ISI, as a matter of deliberate policy, favored the most extreme Islamist organizations it could lay hands on, plus ethnic separatists --- not because it thought these groups could form a stable government in Afghanistan, but precisely because it hoped they could not. (Recall that the frontier with Afghanistan, including Peshawr, had been disputed since before Pakistan

[CTRL] Two Killed, 13 Wounded In School Shooting
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Two Killed, 13 Wounded In School Shooting Near San Diego Monday, March 5, 2001 A gunman opened fire at a high school near San Diego Monday morning, killing two students and injuring 13 other people. FOXNews.com A 15-year-old male student has been taken into custody, according to the San Diego County sheriff's department. While authorities would not confirm the identity of the suspect, student eyewitnesses at Santana High School in Santee, Calif., told Fox News the gunman was a male freshman student. Authorities confirmed that one student died on the scene. A second fatality, a 15-year-old male student, died at Grossmont Hospital, hospital spokeswoman Eileen Cornish said. Seven victims taken to Sharp Hospital were in stable condition and had not sustained life-threatening injuries, KGTV reported. Several of the victims may be adult staff members. A sheriff's deputy who was reported wounded was injured during an unrelated incident, officials said. San Diego County District Attorney Paul Fingst said Monday that the juvenile suspect would most likely be tried in adult court, unless further investigation uncovered mitigating circumstances. The suspect could face charges of murder, assault, assault with a deadly weapon and use of a gun, Fingst said. Fingst said a task force comprised of personnel from the district attorney's office, the sheriff's department, the local police and federal investigators were in the process of interviewing "literally hundreds and hundreds" of witnesses. Another student, Josh Stevens, was reportedly taken into custody for questioning. Stevens is not a suspect, but was reportedly told of the shooting by the suspect. Stevens told reporters Monday that the suspect asked him if he wanted to participate in the shooting, but then said he was only joking. The fatal shootings took place in the boys' restroom and on the quadrangle of Santana High School at about 9:30 Pacific Time. Witnesses said the gunman began shooting in the bathroom and then turned his fire onto the quadrangle. Santana student John Schardt, 17, told KFMB that he heard shots ring out at about 9:20 a.m. while he was in a nearby classroom, and that he took video footage of the shooter. The police confiscated Schardt's tape. "I looked at the kid, and he was smiling and shooting his weapon," said Schardt. "Everyone was running away ... I saw one student go down. He was lying in the middle of the quad." The gunman, upon emptying his long-barreled pistol, went into the bathroom to reload and came back out firing, according to Schardt. Schardt did not know the gunman's name, but had seen him in school previously. Andrew Kaforey, a 17-year-old Santana senior, said he ran into the bathroom with a security guard after hearing what sounded like a firecracker or a gunshot. FOXNews.com Monday: An unidentified youth is carried on a stretcher in the wake of the Santana High School shootings. "He pointed the gun right at me but he didn't shoot," Kaforey said. As he and the guard ran out, the gunman shot the guard in the back, Kaforey said. Kaforey's 14-year-old brother, Jacob, said a boy they believe was the gunman had talked earlier about how he owned a gun, although other students hadn't seen the weapon. The boy also had talked about stealing a car and going to Mexico, Jacob said. Gunman Warned of Shooting Students who knew the accused shooter said the teenager had bragged Sunday night that he was planning the shooting. When they pressed him, however, he said he was only joking. Chris Reynolds, an adult who knows the alleged shooter, said the boy had been talking last week about shooting people, but assured his friends and Reynolds that he wasn't serious. "Everybody can't believe that he actually did it," Reynolds told KGTV. "He said he was just joking." "I do regret that I didn't do something because I should've stepped up even if it wasn't true and stuff to take that precaution," Reynolds said. "If someone did die over there and stuff that's going to be haunting me for a long time, that's going to be with me for a long time. It just hurts because I could've maybe done something about it." Reynolds described the shooter as the type of boy who was picked on at school, but also that he had "a lot of friends" and a "good attitude." He added said one of the boy's friends even checked the shooter's knapsack Monday morning to make sure it did not contain a weapon. Chaos and Tragedy Student Rachelle Ackerman told reporters that about three minutes before the bell was scheduled to ring, she heard the gunfire. "I ran into the office. I started yelling, 'Gun! Call 911! Someone's been shot.'" "It sounded like fireworks, or a popgun ... then you just heard people yell 'run' and I started running," said Pam Hanson, 16, a junior. Student Alicia Zimmer saw a boy lying face down on the floor, a girl with blood on her

-Caveat Lector- http://speakernews.house.gov/library/denny/990204bio.asp Biography of House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert After having taught government and history for 16 years at Yorkville High School in northern Illinois, J. Dennis Hastert is now doing both as a member of the 106th Congress. Elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1986, Hastert, who turned 57 on January 2, 1999, represents Illinois' 14th Congressional District -- a suburban landscape of high tech firms, small and large industrial complexes and expansive farm land west of Chicago. "In short, I believe all of us - regardless of party - can respect one another, even as we fiercely disagree on particular issues." On January 6, 1999, Hastert had the high honor of being elected Speaker of the House. In his acceptance speech, Hastert emphasized his commitment to bipartisanship saying, "Solutions to problems cannot be found in a pool of bitterness. They can be found in an environment in which we trust one another's word; where we generate heat and passion, but where we recognize that each member is equally important to our overall mission of improving the life of the American people. In short, I believe all of us - regardless of party - can respect one another, even as we fiercely disagree on particular issues." He also expressed his desire to accomplish the people's business on time by issuing a challenge to both Republicans and Democrats to either finish the budget process as scheduled or stay in session until they do. Prior to his election as Speaker, Hastert served as Chief Deputy Majority Whip, a leadership position he held since the 104th Congress. In that capacity, Hastert was responsible for advancing common sense ideas on the House floor by working with members in laying out an achievable policy strategy, lining up support, and counting Members' votes to ensure passage. His reputation is one of reaching across the aisle to develop bipartisan legislation. He also served as Chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee's National Security, International Affairs and Criminal Justice Subcommittee. Hastert's subcommittee had broad oversight responsibilities for the Departments of State, Defense and Justice; it also oversaw the nation's War on Drugs effort. He also served as a member of the House Commerce Committee, whose jurisdiction includes energy policy, interstate and foreign commerce, broadcast and telecommunications policy, food, health and drug issues. Hastert had been the House Republican point person on health care reform since 1992. In that capacity, he served as the only House Republican on Hillary Clinton's Health Care Task Force in 1993, and then chaired the Speaker's Steering Committee on Health and the Resource Group on Health. He helped author the health care reform bill signed into law by President Clinton in 1996 in order to expand health care coverage to the uninsured. In the 105th Congress, Hastert again was tapped by the House Leadership to chair the House Working Group on Health Care Quality. Under Hastert's leadership, the Working Group authored the Patient Protection Act, which passed the House on July 24, 1998. The legislation protected patients and guaranteed choices so Americans would continue having access to affordable, high-quality health care. During his years in Congress, Hastert championed legislation to reform the budget process, balance the federal budget and cut government waste. He also led a nationwide fight to repeal the unfair Social Security Earnings Test levied on senior citizens. He worked on and passed legislation to reduce big government regulations in areas such as telecommunications and trucking in order to increase competition and consumer choice. Hastert is cited as a leader in cleaning up the environment, most notably in trying to preserve groundwater standards. He successfully worked for the removal and proper disposal of 21 million cubic feet of low level thorium waste currently sitting in West Chicago, Illinois and to block a proposed garbage dump that would threaten the Fox Valley's groundwater supply. Hastert enjoys a strong editorial support from the newspapers in his district and has received the "Outstanding Legislator" award by numerous groups. He is particularly proud to have been named repeatedly a Friend of Agriculture, Guardian of Senior Rights, and to have won in each of his years in Congress the Golden Bulldog Award for fighting against waste in government. In addition, Hastert's leadership has caught the attention of national media outlets. In the November 21, 1998 edition of Congressional Quarterly, the magazine cites Hastert as one of the "12 Who Made a Difference" in the 105th Congress. From health care reform to the War on Drugs to other important initiatives, CQ wrote: "When House Republicans needed something done, they often turned to Dennis Hastert of Illinois he was

-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 03/05/2001 3:33:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: ``All officials, including the ministry of vice and virtue, have been given the go-ahead to destroy the statues,'' the Taliban's Information Minister Qadratullah Jamal said Thursday. ``The destruction work will be done by any means available to them.'' ``All the statues all over the country will be destroyed,'' he said. The statues mentioned in the article are statues of Buddha. One of them is 175 feet tall and one is 120 feet tall and they date back to the 3rd and 5th century AD. UNESCO Director General Koichiro Matsuura said of the planned destruction, ``In Afghanistan, they are destroying statues that the entire world considers to be masterpieces,'' UNESCO Director-General Koichiro Matsuura said. ``This iconoclastic determination shocks me.'' The Taliban should not be considered Moslems, not even fundamentalist Moslems. Mohammad would be ashamed of them. It is forbidden for Moslems to create or worship idols. They have not been given the task of destroying historical objects of other religions. The Taliban apparently have such a weak faith that the very presence of idols in their territory creates an enticement. It is for that reason that their leader has had to order the destruction of the statues of Buddha.

There are several good sources from that era as well as more recent ones which make it quite clear that Roosevelt forced the Japanese to attack us so that he could get us into a war. During the time this was happening the general consensus of the US public was that Japan attacked the United States. They did not have the information that FDR goaded Japan to instigate a war. FDR also did not order the use of atomic weapons against Japan ... He was dead, Truman ordered the bombing. Nankato may have hit the nail on the head when he mentioned the revenge factor, which may have been the real reason the bombs were dropped. By saying the bombing was "propaganda" do you mean it was done to have other nations fear us because we had a weapon that was more devastating than any other nation had at the time? This I could believe. Answer: To use domestically against civilians.

Maybe the Nazi's would have been able to round them up eventually or kill them all while they were resisting, but the Nazi's would have paid a price. How about if the Russians were armed when all anti-Communists were rounded up and sent to the Gulag to die, would 20 million have died? And how about Red China when they rounded up their anti-Communists and murdered 20 million or so ... had they met with 20 million armed people ready to resist things would have been much different. Just because it hasn't happened here doesn't mean that it couldn't and some would say it has happened before and may be happening now, especially if you look at minorities - Indians, African-Americans, Japanese-Americans. but if you have your way we will be disarmed and helpless. You should learn that fabian socialism/communism/fascism's goals includes disarming of citizens so they will be helpless against the "Mother" State. Government is not your friend. Government is raw force that needs to be controlled, not set free to run amuck. I agree 1000%. But dead gun nuts will just create another health hazard as they lay rotting in the streets. I'm not a gun nut, but I can see the writing on the wall. I grew up in a home that had no guns at all and I myself didn't own a gun till I was 48 years old. I don't take it out and play with it, it is a tool, a very dangerous tool. Funny how the little piss-ant pro-confiscation nuts will never define what constitutes a gun nut. When this government tries to round me up because I'm an anticomminist/socialist/fascist I won't go like a lamb to the slaughter. Maybe I can only take out 2-3 of them, but if every gun owner does the same as I do, then there won't be any left to carry out the orders of the government elites and there will still be many gun owners left. Can't you see that removing guns from the public is a very high priority of the elites. Why else do you think they spread so much disinformation and outright lies about guns. Why do they insist that guns kill people and not the people using the gun? The gun is a tool and the person using the gun to kill an innocent person is the criminal. The government is so full of shit when they talk about the right to own a gun for hunting purposes, the second amendment was written to protect us from the tyranny of government. If you think that all the antigun propaganda isn't full of lies and distortions you should read the facts and not from Handgun Control Incorporated or the NRA (themselves an anti-second amendment group). The facts have been posted many times on this list with data from the justice department, FBI etc. - even the government can't hide the facts - they depend on people being too ignorant to think for themselves and look up the data. A good rule of thumb is that if the government wants it, you should be against it. The propaganda is raised every time there is a school shooting, so expect it to rise to new levels since this newest school shooting spree in Santana high school in Santee California. Funny that there were very few school shootings before there became this need to disarm (mid 1960's) law-abiding gun owners ... ever think about that? California has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, but all those laws didn't prevent this kid from shooting up the high school. Could an armed teacher have stopped this kid?

[CTRL] A Look at the Indian Health Service Policy of Sterilization, 1972-1976
-Caveat Lector- A Look at the Indian Health Service Policy of Sterilization, 1972-1976 by Charles R. England http://www.dickshovel.com/IHSSterPol.html The purpose of this article is to examine the reasons for and results of the investigations prompted by physicians, tribal leaders, and senators concerning allegations that the Indian Health Service (IHS) was indiscriminately sterilizing Indian women across the nation. This topic brings up several questions of morality, ethics, and the law. These questions cannot help but be colored by the culture and values that we are taught. So it is from this perspective that we look at the sterilization policies and philosophies that were at work within the IHS-PHS, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) from 1972 to 1976. It was during this period that the greatest number of Indian women were put under the knife for a plethora of medical, social, and monetary reasons. This article consists of six categories which will: explore the federal relationship with American Indian tribes; describe personal accounts from women who were sterilized and their attitudes toward family planning; explicate state and federal policies regarding informed consent and sterilization; examine the contractual relationship between IHS and private practices; consider the U.S. General Accounting Office investigation of IHS sterilization procedures; and examine the meaning behind the statistics of population growth. Finally, it will analyze the historical relevance of this topic to the model of internal colonialism under which the U.S. government operates. The federal trust relationship with American Indian tribes is based on numerous treaty rights and agreements that include medical services and physicians made available to Indians. However, there are very few statements that mention medical services specifically; instead, there is an implicit understanding of the trust responsibility that includes the health of American Indians. As stated in the American Indian Policy Review Commission's report on Indian health: ...the federal responsibility to provide health services to Indians has its roots in the unique moral, historical, and treaty obligations of the federal government, no court has ever ruled on the precise nature of that legal basis nor defined the specific legal rights for Indians created by those obligations (in American Indian Journal, 1977: 22- 23). The implied meaning of health care responsibilities is somewhat vague, but the treaties and agreements were always meant to favor Indians. In 1955, IHS was transferred from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the Public Health Service (PHS). This move was made with the expectation that the PHS could improve health care for Indians living on reservations. Even after the transfer had taken place, the health needs of Indians were still not adequately met. This was due to the ambiguous nature of the federal government's responsibility to provide health care. In turn, the IHS had no concrete goals or objectives and operated day to day with only a faint clue as to how it should render services. To date, an Indian client will be given services that may well vary each time that patient walks into an IHS facility: ...the specific services available to him will vary from day-to-day and year-to-year, depending on unpublished discretionary decisions made by Indian Health Service officials and commitments and conditions contained in often voluminous appropriation hearings (American Indian Journal, 1977: 23). This quote suggests that the IHS system is ripe for mismanagement of policies, funding, and staff supervision. It will also come as no surprise to find that IHS has been the subject of a number of investigations. One of the people who initiated the government investigation into IHS sterilization policy was Dr. Connie Uri, a Choctaw Indian physician working at the Claremore, Oklahoma IHS facilities. Dr. Uri had noticed in the hospital records that a large amount of sterilization surgeries had been performed. She then conducted her own interviews with the women involved and found that many had received the operation a day or two after childbirth. In the month of July 1974 alone there were 48 sterilizations performed and several hundred had already been conducted in the last two years (Akwesasne Notes, 1974: 22). The hospital records show that both tubal ligation and hysterectomies were used in sterilization. Dr. Uri commented: "In normal medical practice, hysterectomies are rare in women of child bearing age unless there is cancer or other medical problems" (Akwesasne Notes, 1974: 22). Besides the questionable surgery techniques being allowed to take place, there was also the charge of harassment in obtaining consent forms. In an incident of harassment at the Claremore facility, one woman was told by social workers and other hospital personnel that she was a bad mother and they would have to take away her children. They would then

For 170 years, British police functioned without guns. Since their founding by Sir Robert Peel in 1829, Bobbies walked their beats armed only with their nightsticks. Until the last few years of these 17 decades, the British public was armed. Now it is the other way around. The police have guns, and the law-abiding public doesn't. What happened? Britain has the most severe "gun control" laws in the world. Not even members of the British Olympic Shooting Team are allowed pistols. The British are reduced to registered single- and double-barreled shotguns, and the maximum permitted shell load is birdshot. According to the arguments of gun-control advocates, Britain should be safe and crime free. But, alas, violent crime and robberies have skyrocketed. Gunfights between rival immigrant gangs caused the revolution in British policing. In Robin Hood's Nottinghamshire, constables now patrol in pairs armed with semi-automatic pistols. They are backed up by armed-response vehicles (ARVs) stocked with submachine guns. If gun control makes society safe, why was it necessary to overthrow British police tradition, arm police with semiautomatic weapons and provide machinegun backup? As a test case in gun control, Britain proves it to be a total failure. The result is exactly the one predicted by the National Rifle Association: "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." In Britain, a man's home may be his castle where the king of England cannot enter without a warrant, but robbers and rapists enter at will. It is easier and less risky for a criminal to have his way with a victim in the privacy of the victim's home than in public. Gun control has made home invasion safe for criminals. In the United States, experts have proven time and again that widespread gun ownership is a deterrent to crime and prevents between 1 million and 3 million criminal acts each year. Gun ownership saves numerous lives and foils large numbers of rapes and robberies. Yet, gun controllers persist in their attempts to disarm the public. A person can't help but wonder whether gun-control advocates are uninformed fools or have a secret agenda. Once gun control enters politics, the lying makes even Bill and Hillary Clinton blush. As the 20th century came to a close, Canadian Justice Minister Allan Rock fended off criticisms of a gun-registration bill his government was pushing by giving assurances that "there is no reason to confiscate legally owned firearms." Within 10 months of the minister's assurances, 553,000 legally registered handguns were confiscated. Now, rifles and shotguns must be licensed and registered. Having learned that the only purpose of registration is to tell the government where the guns are, compliance has collapsed. Large numbers of law-abiding Canadians prefer to risk five years in prison than to register their guns. Gun-control laws dramatically reduce public safety and turn law-abiding citizens into law-breakers. Licensing and registration increase crime by devoting police resources to paperwork. Gun registration databases cannot prevent crimes or aid in their solving, because criminals do not register their guns. The people most dangerous to the public are not on the FBI's "Most Wanted List." Far more dangerous to our safety than criminals are gun-control extremists like Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Sarah Brady of Handgun Control. These are the people who will leave us defenseless as they abrogate the Constitution and destroy respect for law, while promising an end to "gun violence." The American Rifleman reports that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) -- the guys who brought us Waco, are using intimidation and threats to compile an illegal registry of gun owners. BATF thumbs its nose at federal court decisions and continues to harass legitimate gun dealers and purchasers as if they were criminals. We need to ask ourselves why liberals have made gun confiscation

[CTRL] Swiss say no to joining the EU
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,3-93919,00.html MONDAY MARCH 05 2001 Swiss say no to joining the EU BY MARTIN FLETCHER, EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENT SWITZERLAND overwhelmingly rejected early membership of the European Union by a margin of nearly four to one in a national referendum yesterday. Nobody had expected the 4.6 million eligible voters to back the “Yes to Europe” initiative that would have forced the Government to open immediate negotiations with Brussels, but nor had anyone predicted it would be defeated so heavily. An estimated 77 per cent, and all 26 cantons, voted no. The turnout was 55 per cent. The Government opposed the initiative, arguing that it favoured EU membership but only when the time was right. Those campaigning against joining the EU argued that membership would mean higher taxes and interest rates, heavy financial contributions and a loss of sovereignty. One poster showed a Swiss chicken plucked, gagged and shackled by EU handcuffs. Switzerland’s economy is booming and the country has recently negotiated free trade agreements with the EU. Christoph Blocher, leader of the Eurosceptic Swiss People’s Party, was jubilant. He said that the Government should drop EU membership plans for good. Ruedi Baumann, president of the Green Party, which was part of the coalition of left-wing and youth groups that collected the 100,000 signatures required to force the referendum, said: “It’s an absolutely brutal defeat.” The groups had argued that Switzerland should help to shape EU decisions that affect it anyway and should join before it has to negotiate entry with an enlarged EU of perhaps up to 25 members. A European Commission spokesman said: “The Swiss did not say no to Europe. They chose to answer the question later and this is obviously a choice that the European Commission respects.”
[CTRL] Scientists are warned of the dark side of genomic research.
http://popularmechanics.com/popmech/sci/0102STMIWFBP.html Scientists are warned of the dark side of genomic research. BY JIM WILSON A former official in the Clinton administration says the South African military attempted to develop biological weapons that targeted victims based on their genetic makeup. Jonathan Moreno, a biomedical ethicist at the University of Virginia (UV) in Charlottesville, revealed the project in a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), which met the week of Feb. 19, 2001 in San Francisco. AAAS is the umbrella organization for the nation’s leading scientific organizations. “Under the old apartheid government, the South African Defense Force conducted research for the possible development of biological agents that could be used against the black population,” Moreno tells POPULAR MECHANICS. “They were particularly interested in seeking ways to sterilize women of color.” Rumors of the existence of weapons that could distinguish among individuals based on their DNA have circulated since the late 1970s, and had been repeatedly denied by the South African government. Moreno’s remarks have reopened the issue because of his reputation for uncovering secret government experiments. Prior to becoming director of the UV Center for Biomedical Ethics, he served on the senior staff for two Clinton administration advisory commissions that investigated the use of unwitting human subjects in radiation experiments financed by the U.S. government. “It was during my commission work on human radiation experiments that I became aware of the potential threat from ethically targeted biological weapons,” he says. Unlike conventional biological weapons that kill by disabling the nervous system, Moreno believes that the genetic weapons would work subtly, and for this reason could strike undetected. “Genetically, target agents could affect the birthrates of a population, infant mortality rates, disease proclivity or even crop production,” he explains. “It might take decades to realize an attack has even occurred. By that point, a population of people might be seriously diminished.” Moreno says that although the United States has signed a treaty prohibiting biological weapons research, it extended only to offensive weapons. He says that experiments that advance genetic weapons could be easily disguised as attempts to create defensive measures against bioweapons, or as basic medical research. Moreno suggests the imposition of criminal sentences as the best way to prevent scientists from working on gene-targeting weapons.
[CTRL] Did Bush camp encourage military personnel to vote after Election Day?
http://www.bushwatch.com/headlines.htm Did Bush camp encourage military personnel to vote after Election Day? In an excerpt from his new book, Jake Tapper uncovers the down and dirty partisan scuffle to win the Florida recount battle -- and the presidency. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Jake Tapper March 5, 2001 | In the heat of last fall's historic post-election presidential campaign, when advocates for Al Gore and George W. Bush were navigating the swampy world of Florida election law, some of the ugliest wrangling -- and some of the most legally debatable maneuvering on both sides -- centered on the counting of overseas absentee ballots. According to a knowledgeable Republican operative, the Bush camp even discussed a strategy that, if implemented, would have broken the law: organizing a post-election get-out-the-vote drive among overseas military personnel who had registered to vote but had not cast ballots by Election Day. Bush officials did not return calls seeking comment on the report. But according to the knowledgeable GOP source, on Saturday, Nov. 11, Bush's political team held a 60- to 90-minute conference call for campaign operatives scattered throughout Florida. In the course of the discussion, they discussed having political operatives near overseas military bases encourage soldiers who had registered to vote -- but never did -- to fill out their ballots and send them in, more than four days after the voting deadline. Was this plan, a blatant act of voter fraud, ever carried out? There's no concrete proof that it was, as of today -- and if it was, whoever was involved isn't talking. (Neither South Carolina-based strategist Warren Tompkins, who ran Bush's absentee ballot monitoring operation, nor Bush political director Ken Mehlman returned calls for comment.) What's not in doubt is the crucial role the overseas military ballots -- and the vicious, behind-the-scenes battle over whether to count them -- played in the outcome of the Florida vote and, ultimately, the election. Before the election, 23,246 overseas ballots were mailed out from the state of Florida, and more than half of them -- 14,415 -- had come in by Election Day. As of Nov. 13, Monday, Florida's 67 counties had received 446 military overseas ballots since Nov. 8. By Nov. 16, Thursday afternoon, that number had swelled to 2,575. By the next day, it was 3,733. There was certainly plenty of wrangling and duplicity on both sides when it came to the issue of overseas absentee ballots. At a time when the Gore team's mantra was "Count every vote," for instance, its attorneys were trying to disqualify any ballot cast by overseas military personnel that was even remotely questionable. And the Bush team -- worried about whether it would be hurt by the overseas absentee ballots, thanks to the high numbers of voters in Israel who might be energized by Joe Lieberman's presence on the ticket -- at first focused on trying to scope out and prevent possible voter fraud by the absentees. Gore-Lieberman garnered 80 percent of the Jewish vote Nov. 7, and estimates held that about 4,000 Florida Jews might be expected to cast absentee ballots from the land of milk and honey. It was clear to strategists on both sides, within days after Nov. 7, that they needed to supplement their focus on hand recounts with a side strategy on the overseas absentee ballots, which were due Friday, Nov. 17. The Bush team turned to Warren Tompkins -- who had helmed Bush's nasty South Carolina primary campaign against Arizona Sen. John McCain -- to coordinate its strategy. Days after the election, he put together a spreadsheet on the overseas absentee ballots, what had come in already, what had been counted, how many had been requested, how many were still expected in and so on. The overseas absentee ballots were likely to go their way, Tompkins told his colleagues, but he anticipated that the Democrats wouldn't make it easy for them to be accepted, and would challenge as many as possible. "You're kidding me," spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said. "They can't protest." "We think they're going to," Tompkins responded. Tucker wanted to let the press know about this at once, but she was overruled. Let's wait, she was told. It was on Nov. 11 that the Bush political team organized a conference call to discuss its absentee ballot strategy. In those first crazy days of the post-election battle, anywhere from a dozen to 60 or so people could have been on the call. Many matters were attended to. The group talked about finding volunteers to be observers in counties doing recounts. They talked about drumming up protesters. They talked about assigning operatives to different clerks' offices to wait for the overseas absentee ballots, and to report anything Democrats did to challenge them. And, according to a knowledgeable Republican source, in the course of this conversation the Bush team discussed having political operatives abroad encourage certain soldiers who had registered to vote --
[CTRL] Spectator: Pushy Dame Roughs up Senator Thurmond
-Caveat Lector- [When she won her Senate seat I thought she would eventually fit in, but now it seems unlikely, at best. --MS] http://www.spectator.org/prowl/prowl.htm Pushy Dame Sen. Hillary Clinton is losing fans by the day on Capitol Hill due to her performance at last Tuesday's Bush address to Congress. According to congressional reporters, Senator Clinton pushed fragile Republican Strom Thurmond out of the way in order to get to the NBC New York affiliate's camera crew. "Thurmond stumbled and nearly fell down, but Sen. Ted Kennedy grabbed hold of him," says one of the reporter witnesses. Clinton has also further angered her own leadership. Her staff presented Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle with a request that he approve two additional positions for her office at salaries of $85,000 or more. "She wants to hire a permanent staff pollster and media adviser," says a source in the minority leader's office. "She explained that they would be available to all of her Democratic colleagues, but they would work out of her offices." The so-called "office expenses" indicate how naive Clinton is about real-world politics. It would be next to impossible to hire a pollster at a salary of $85,000, let alone cover the costs of polling out of a Senate office. "She's thinking like a first lady, and not a freshman senator," says the Daschle aide.

The spy agency must sift through a barrage of information from both classified and unclassified sources in varied formats such as hard text, digital text, imagery, and audio in more than 35 languages. The Office of Advanced Information Technology (AIT), part of the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology, is focused on finding solutions to the ``volume challenge.'' ``We're not growing at a fast rate, but the amount of information that comes into this place is growing by leaps and bounds,'' Larry Fairchild, AIT director, said in an interview this week in a basement demonstration room at Central Intelligence Agency headquarters. ``How do we give folks technologies so that they are able to handle the big increase in information they're going to have to deal with on a day-to-day basis?'' he said. One computer tool called ``Oasis'' can convert audio signals from television and radio broadcasts into text. It can distinguish accented English for greater accuracy in the transcription, whether the speaker is male or female, and whether one male or female voice is different from another of the same gender. At the left of the screen of a transcribed broadcast are labels ``Male 1,'' ``Female 1,'' ``Male 2,'' next to sentences. If one voice is labeled with a name, the computer from then on will put that name on anything else with that same voice. So for example if a broadcast by Saudi-exile Osama bin Laden, whom the CIA considers a major threat to Americans, was transcribed and labeled, every time his voice was detected the computer would automatically label it. Machine translator If the machine translation appears off, the user can with a mouse click hear the actual broadcast. For example, the demonstration showed a transcription that read ``latest danger from hell'' but the audio said ``latest danger from el nino.'' The computer cuts down on the time it would take a person to transcribe a half-hour broadcast to 10 minutes from up to 90 minutes, a CIA employee conducting the demonstration said. The CIA is planning to have Oasis developed for different languages such as Arabic and Chinese. It also finds similar meanings of words being searched, for example a broadcast might not mention ``terrorism'' but might say ''car bombing,'' which the computer would tag as ``terrorism'' so that anyone searching for that category would find it. Currently the CIA's Foreign Broadcast Information Service is using it in one Asian city and intends to have it in other regions such as the Middle East this year. Another computer tool, ``FLUENT,'' enables a user to conduct computer searches of documents that are in a language the user does not understand.The user can put English words into the search field, such as ''nuclear weapons,'' and documents in languages such as Russian, Chinese and Arabic pop up. The system will then translate the document and if it is seen as useful, the analyst can send it to a human translator for more precision. Languages that FLUENT can translate into English include Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Serbo-Croatian and Ukrainian. ``Data mining'' tools are used to extract key pieces of information from a variety of intelligence traffic such as on the flow of illegal drugs and also to keep track of illicit financial transactions. Analyzed documents on Iraq Tools were developed to help CIA analysts on Iraq, who were asked to analyze the agency's holdings on Iraqi war crime violations, about 1.2 million documents going back to 1979. The Text Data Mining tool extracted and indexed all words in the data so for example if an analyst was asked whether Iraq ever used anthrax as a weapon, the analyst could open the tool and find anthrax in the automatically generated index. That tool also counts the frequency of word use and can handle various spellings of the same Iraqi names or locations. There is also ``gifting technology'' which gives the flavor of the key information of a document in a short paragraph, Fairchild said.With the latest spy furor in the nation's capital, would any of the tools help catch a spy? ``Yes, some of the things we're doing can,'' Fairchild said without details. ``We're looking at better technologies to put in that area,'' he added. Another intelligence official, on condition of anonymity, said: ``If they have this kind of technology to plumb the depths of open sources, you can imagine what kind of technologies they have to track down spies.''
Re: [CTRL] Spectator: Pushy Dame Roughs up Senator Thurmond
-Caveat Lector- http://www.spectator.org/prowl/prowl.htm Pushy Dame Sen. Hillary Clinton is losing fans by the day on Capitol Hill due to her performance at last Tuesday's Bush address to Congress. According to congressional reporters, Senator Clinton pushed fragile Republican Strom Thurmond out of the way in order to get to the NBC New York affiliate's camera crew. "Thurmond stumbled and nearly fell down, but Sen. Ted Kennedy grabbed hold of him," says one of the reporter witnesses. Clinton has also further angered her own leadership. Her staff presented Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle with a request that he approve two additional positions for her office at salaries of $85,000 or more. "She wants to hire a permanent staff pollster and media adviser," says a source in the minority leader's office. "She explained that they would be available to all of her Democratic colleagues, but they would work out of her offices." The so-called "office expenses" indicate how naive Clinton is about real-world politics. It would be next to impossible to hire a pollster at a salary of $85,000, let alone cover the costs of polling out of a Senate office. "She's thinking like a first lady, and not a freshman senator," says the Daschle aide. "But no one has the nerve to tell her where to get off." - -- Best wishes There are 4 kinds of Homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy. -Ambrose Bierce A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Inside George W.s Secret Crypt
http://www.observer.com/pages/story.asp?ID=2511 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 America’s 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 America’s 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 I’d written–the 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 me–I have a feeling there is a part of him that might secretly have approved of the all-girl break-in team’s 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 can’t 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 don’t 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 I’d 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 he’s 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 accounts,
[CTRL] AP: Clinton Refuses Senate Pardons Talk
-Caveat Lector- http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/ap/20010305/us/clinton_pardons_103.html Monday March 5 11:32 AM ET Clinton Refuses Senate Pardons Talk WASHINGTON (AP) - Former President Clinton is unlikely to accept an offer that he be questioned privately by senators about pardons he issued during his final hours in office, a spokeswoman says. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said Sunday he thought Clinton ``may be inclined'' to accept his offer as a way of ``getting to the basic facts.'' But it's unlikely, Clinton spokeswoman Julia Payne said Monday. ``This is not an offer he's considering at this time,'' she said. Senate leaders are treading gingerly over the prospect of trying to compel Clinton's testimony about his 176 last-minute pardons and commutations. Specter said they have suggested that he and a Democratic senator do the questioning in private. He detailed the proposal in a letter to Clinton last week. Specter also said he had an ``informal conversation'' with Clinton's chief of staff, Karen Tramontano, and was told the former president ``is thinking about it.'' Payne said Tramontano had wanted more information about the offer. ``I think as the facts build up, the president is evaluating it and may be inclined to come in,'' Specter said on ABC's ``This Week.'' Committees in both the House and Senate are investigating whether the pardons, including one granted to fugitive financier Marc Rich, were linked to political contributions. Specter said he suggested ``very professional questioning by me with another Democrat, if the president chooses, in an office, his office if he would like, getting to the basic facts.'' Were Clinton to reject the proposal, Specter said he did not know what would happen. ``Technically there could be a subpoena. I don't think that will happen,'' he said, citing the ``sensitivity'' of forcing a president to testify. On Monday, the House Government Reform Committee was expected to get more details about large donations to the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation, which is raising money for a library to be built in Little Rock, Ark. The committee already has received a list of the top donors, but was awaiting specific information, including dates of contributions. Rich's ex-wife, songwriter Denise Rich, contributed $450,000 to the foundation and her friend, Beth Dozoretz, a former finance chairman for the Democratic National Committee, has pledged to raise $1 million for the library project. Dozoretz refused to testify before the House committee last week about her involvement in Rich's pardon, invoking her constitutional right against self-incrimination. Denise Rich also has refused to testify. Noting the almost daily revelations about lobbying by political donors on behalf of pardon applicants, Specter said, ``It naturally raises a question. It doesn't come to a legal conclusion, it won't stand up in court, but I think it is something that ought to be answered, and, again, only the president can give the answer.'' Specter also said that Congress may consider reporting requirements for private foundations like the one handling Clinton's library fund raising, and may look at more lobbying registration requirements for people who seek things from the president. = 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] LAT: Prosecutor Quits Over Boss' Role in Pardon
-Caveat Lector- http://www.latimes.com/news/state/20010305/t19544.html Monday, March 5, 2001 | Print this story Prosecutor Quits Over Boss' Role in Pardon Scandal: An assistant U.S. attorney in Moscow protests his Los Angeles supervisor's actions to secure a drug trafficker's presidential commutation. By JOHN DANISZEWSKI Times Staff Writer MOSCOW--A Los Angeles-based prosecutor engaged in fighting organized crime that originates in the former Soviet Union said Sunday that he was resigning to protest the role that his boss, U.S. Atty. Alejandro N. Mayorkas, played in winning the prison release of a convicted cocaine trafficker. Assistant U.S. Atty. Duncan DeVille said that Mayorkas' action--making a phone call to aides of former President Bill Clinton on behalf of cocaine trafficker Carlos Vignali--made it impossible for him to keep working in the narcotics unit of the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles. In a resignation letter to Mayorkas, he said: "I frequently place in danger both my life and, more importantly the lives of law enforcement agents, in the pursuit of drug dealers. Accordingly I cannot support your recent actions in assisting in the pardon" of Vignali. Mayorkas revealed last month that he had phoned the White House counsel's office about Vignali's case at the urging of Vignali's father, Horacio Vignali, a wealthy donor to political candidates. "I think in hindsight I should not have made that call to the White House," Mayorkas said. Clinton's brother-in-law Hugh Rodham took a $200,000 fee from Horacio Vignali for pushing for the release but returned it at Clinton's insistence after the controversy broke out. The younger Vignali, of Los Angeles, was convicted of conspiracy to move more than 800 pounds of cocaine within the United States. He was sentenced in 1994 to 15 years in prison but was released after the former president's decision to commute his sentence Jan. 20, the last day of the Clinton administration. The decision was one of 176 acts of clemency that Clinton granted on his last day in office and was widely criticized by law enforcement officials, including members of the U.S. attorney's office in Minnesota, which had won the original conviction. DeVille, a 37-year-old career prosecutor, said in an interview in Moscow that he felt compelled to resign in part because of his dealings with prosecutors in Russia and Armenia, where questions about corruption and the rule of law are highly pertinent. DeVille was in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, launching a Justice Department program in which federal prosecutors in Los Angeles work with their Armenian counterparts to fight corruption when news of the Vignali pardon reached him. "I'd been a proponent of the rule of law and preaching the gospel of the rule of law in Eastern Europe for the past few years," he said. "Now suddenly I started getting asked by prosecutors about this pardon. . . . I kept being called a hypocrite." DeVille, a specialist in criminal groups from Russia and Armenia that operate in Southern California, said his faxed resignation to Mayorkas will take effect in 60 days. He was in Moscow to take depositions from a Russian witness in a federal extortion case. Before joining the U.S. attorney's office two years ago, DeVille said, he had been in Russia in connection with an American Bar Assn. project on judicial reform in Eastern Europe. Before that, he was an assistant attorney general for the state of Colorado and an assistant district attorney in Denver. Other Southern California public figures besides Mayorkas who wrote or called the White House on the Vignali matter in the waning days of the Clinton presidency were Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles), Cardinal Roger M. Mahony, Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina, former Rep. Esteban Torres, state Sen. Richard Polanco and former state Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa. Since the revelations, Mahony and Villaraigosa have said they erred in getting involved in the case. Baca has admitted making calls regarding Vignali, but denied that he supported a commutation. = 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] JP: Rich associate had close ties to Baraks
-Caveat Lector- http://www.jpost.com/Editions/2001/03/05/News/News.22407.html Monday, March 5 2001 11:58 10 Adar 5761 Rich associate had close ties to Baraks By Buzzy Gordon JERUSALEM (March 5) - Beth Dozoretz, who repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment when called to testify last week before a congressional committee investigating the pardon of financier Marc Rich by former president Bill Clinton, apparently had close ties with Ehud and Nava Barak. Dozoretz, who has many links to Israel, served on the board of the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva. Nava Barak has been the head of the Israeli Friends of the Rabin Medical Center for five years. Television footage screened on Channel 1's Saturday night news magazine showed a former Clinton aide testifying that, in his last phone conversation with Clinton before the president left office, Barak took time out from discussions on the Middle East to press Clinton to pardon Rich. Barak has denied making unusual efforts on Rich's behalf. The same footage showed Dozoretz telling the committee that she would not answer any questions, based on her constitutional right not to incriminate herself. A list of Dozoretz's links to Israel is included in her biography, which appeared in the announcement last year of her appointment to the board of directors of US Technologies Inc., which recently acquired the foundering Jerusalem-based seed-stage venture-capital firm Yazam. US Technologies has a number of prominent directors besides Dozoretz, including former US senator George Mitchell, currently heading the commission of inquiry into the origins of the "Aksa intifada," and former CIA chief William Webster. At the time of her appointment to US Technologies' board last summer, Dozoretz, 49, who lives in Washington with her husband and two children, was also serving on the board of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, as well as on the executive committee of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the wealthiest and most powerful pro-Israel lobbying group in the US. In an interview in The New York Times on February 17, Dozoretz was quoted as saying she was "close to" Ehud Barak, and that before Barak was prime minister a mutual friend sent Barak and his brother to her home. "We talked for two hours," she told the paper, "and I was mesmerized. He was a lot like Clinton." Dozoretz, the former finance chair of the Democratic National Committee after the Clinton impeachment, is said to have solicited $450,000 in donations to the Clinton presidential library from Denise Rich, Marc Rich's ex-wife. The last $100,000 of the sum was pledged in 2000, at the height of the lobbying campaign on behalf of a pardon for Rich. Denise Rich has also declined to answer questions before the congressional committee. = 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] Spectator: McAuliffe outing Clinton?
-Caveat Lector- [This stuff just keeps getting more awful by the day.] http://www.spectator.org/prowl/prowl.htm Establishing Residency While the National Enquirer and other media focus on rumors of an affair between then-President Bill Clinton and Denise Rich, the Secret Service hasn't hesitated to fan rumors of other potential paramours for Clinton. At the request of Rep. Dan Burton, the Secret Service provided White House logs on such visitors as former DNC finance chair Beth Dozoretz, who on most of her visits met with Clinton in the White House residence, not the Oval Office. Secret Service agents who regularly leaked information to Burton during his committee's investigations during the Clinton presidency were quick to point out many of those dates. "They underlined dates where Mrs. Clinton wasn't in the White House, but the president was meeting with people like Dozoretz in the residence during nonworking hours," says a committee staffer. But in the case of people like Dozoretz and Rich, there is a far more reasonable explanation than the rumor-mongering that is going on, say former Clinton aides who were aware of the Dozoretz meetings. "The president was deeply suspicious of even some of his allies, like Dozoretz, and he didn't want to do any fundraising business in the West Wing. The counsel's office said it would probably be okay to meet in his private study, but Clinton didn't want these people called before Burton's committee or a Senate committee and saying, 'We planned fundraising in the Oval Office,'" says the staffer. "Clinton did almost all of his DNC meetings in the residence." The explanation is more than plausible, but one person isn't helping clarify Clinton's complicated relationships with the women of the DNC: According to a DNC fundraiser, friends of current DNC chief Terry McAuliffe were sources for the National Enquirer's exposé on Clinton's "relationship" with Denise Rich. "McAuliffe is coming to realize that he's not going to be a success with the party if Bill Clinton is always around looking over his shoulder," says the DNC fundraiser. = 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] Insight: Bill's Holdovers Grab DoD Agency
-Caveat Lector- "Dave Tarbell bears personal responsibility for giving the Chinese military everything they need to fight the next war," Stephen D. Bryen, a DOD official under Reagan/Bush, tells Insight. "He has been highly successful in giving away our military technology." Insight March 12, 2001 Bills Holdovers Grab DOD Agency By Kenneth R. Timmerman Clinton Democrats tried to shut down the Pentagons export-control agency, but as Bush comes in they have turned it into a Disney World of fat salaries for their own. Clinton holdovers rapidly are expanding a Pentagon agency they twice tried to eliminate and are rewarding their friends with a taxpayer-paid trip to Walt Disney World. On the agenda: cozying up to U.S. exporters seeking Department of Defense (DOD) favors, and photo-ops with Mickey and his pals. The Pentagons Defense Technology Security Administration (DTSA) was created by President Reagan to thwart Soviet attempts to acquire Western military technology. DTSA was widely criticized by U.S. industry groups for impeding the sale of American high-tech products to governments hostile to the United States. President Clinton did his best to get rid of DTSA, and twice it was brought back from the dead by congressional supporters led by Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa. Now called the Technology Security Directorate (TSD), it has been rolled into a larger Pentagon entity known as the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). So why did technology-security chief Dave Tarbell, a Clinton appointee, go on a hiring spree just as a new administration was coming to town? And why is he sending more than a dozen new export-licensing officers on a government-paid junket to Walt Disney World to cozy up to representatives of the very export industries DTRA regulates? Insight spoke with a number of the 35 new DTRA hires, most of whom were Clinton appointees from Commerce, State or DOD weapons labs. All acknowledged that they were being sent down to Orlando to learn about export licensing from industry representatives, not DTRA professionals. Organized by SIA, the Society for International Affairs (www.siaed.org), the Feb. 15-16 Orlando meeting was billed as a basics conference. This time, according to DTRA spokesman David Rigby, DTRA would send its trainees to learn from industry and to become acquainted with members of the exporting community with whom they would deal daily. Conveniently, most of the DTRA people would arrive a day early and stay a day late, according to hotel records obtained by Insight. SIA members include satellite makers and operators such as Orbital Sciences and INTELSAT, as well as the nations largest defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corp., TRW Inc. and ITT Defense. "SIA is a private association of all the big exporters who license into DTRA," a senior DTRA official told Insight. "They want to make sure that the new people get the industry gospel, so theyre taking them down to get indoctrinated." The U.S. taxpayers will foot the bill for hotel and per-diem costs, conference-registration fees and round-trip travel (at government rates, which mandate high-cost, refundable tickets) in addition to salaries. Most of the engineers attending the conference have reached the highest General Service rank, GS-15, and are paid $84,648 to $110,028 annually. This is not the first instance of alleged waste, fraud and abuse at DTRA. Insight has obtained a copy of a whistle-blower memorandum, dated April 24, 2000, sent to the Pentagon Inspector Generals (IG) office by a senior DTRA engineer. The memorandum alleges that the agencys political bosses "have systematically been misleading the public, Congress and internal oversight authorities by deliberately overstaffing as the volume and seriousness of export licenses have declined over these past seven years." The complaint, which the IG never pursued, alleges that DTRA added personnel as justification to isolate this organization physically from the interagency community. Plans twice were approved by the Pentagon to move DTRA from prime office space just across the street from the Pentagon to more spacious digs at Washington Dulles International Airport, far from the day-to-day policy tug-of-war. The move was significant because DTRA officials continue to share hard-copy files on sensitive export licenses with other agencies and must physically transport them from agency to agency in downtown Washington. Moving out to Dulles also isolated DTRA licensing officers from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and their intelligence wings, which all maintain Pentagon offices, effectively taking them out of the policy loop. One DTRA licensing engineer contacted by Insight acknowledges the agencys rationale: "Sure, its unusual for DTRA to hire so many new people at any one time. But we need these new people to expedite export-licensing cases that are getting bogged down. We need to get these cases out the door so commerce can take place." What kind

Cheney was in stable condition and expected to remain in the hospital overnight. Reiner said while Cheney suffers from chronic coronary artery disease, he believes there is a âvery high likelihoodâ that Cheney can finish out his term as vice president in vigorous fashion. Cheney, 60, suffered his most recent heart attack in late November but quickly resumed a full schedule after an operation to open the blocked artery, known as angioplasty. Reiner said there was a 40 percent risk of the artery becoming blocked again. During the procedure last November, one of Cheneyâs heart arteries was 90 percent blocked, so doctors implanted a wire scaffolding-like device called a stent to push away the blockage and prop open the artery walls. Reiner said that following such stent procedures, there always is a chance of renarrowing â and this is apparently what happened to Cheney. He called it âa very discrete spot of renarrowing.â March 5, 2001 â Doctors say Dick Cheneyâs severe history of heart disease indicates he is a great risk for further problems. NBCâs Robert Bazell reports. Reiner said he did not believe Cheney had suffered any additional heart damage. Cheney checked himself into the hospital after feeling chest pain briefly on two occasions on Monday after earlier episodes on Saturday and Sunday, Reiner said. He said the episodes were âmuch milder and very briefâ when compared with the chest pains that Cheney suffered in November. âThe symptoms were subtleâ this time, Reiner said. Asked whether Cheney had failed to take precautions after his November heart attack, Reiner said no, that the vice president had been âexceedingly diligentâ in following both dietary and exercise recommendations, including essentially eliminating red meat from his diet. âHe has very nicely adhered to what we wanted him to do,â Reiner said. Advertisement Doctors inserted a flexible tube into the narrowed artery carrying a collapsed balloon. Once the balloon was in place, it was inflated, reopening the artery. President Bush called the vice president to wish him well, said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. âDuring their five-minute phone call, the vice president told the president that he was feeling fine and looked forward to returning to work,â Fleischer said. Earlier, Bush confirmed that Cheney was in the hospital, calling it âprecautionary measureâ when asked about it by reporters. Aides said Cheney, who was working at the White House on Monday, told Bush in the morning that he was experiencing discomfort in his chest and planned to be examined by a doctor. Re-clogged arteries Re-clogging of heart arteries is not uncommon. Consider these facts: ⢠Every year, over 500,000 Americans undergo balloon angioplasty to open up clogged heart arteries. ⢠Of these, about 40 percent to 50 percent experience re-clogging of arteries. ⢠To reduce the risk of re-clogging, doctors often use a tiny piece of metal called a stent to prop open an artery. ⢠Adding a stent to angioplasty reduces the risk of artery re-clogging to about 20 percent. ⢠If re-clogging still occurs with a stent, doctors may try threading radiation-emitting devices inside the artery. AHA, GW Hospital One aide to Cheney said he headed to the hospital about 3:30 p.m. The aide said he appeared normal, even cheerful, all day. In a statement before he underwent the procedure, Cheney aide Mary Matalin said Cheney checked himself into the hospital âfor a repeat cardiac catheterization after experiencing two brief, mild episodes of chest discomfort. This is a non-emergency precautionary procedure. An EKG obtained at the White House this afternoon was unchanged from one obtained last Thursday.â PRECAUTIONARY TESTS Matalin said the EKG last week was part of normal follow-up care after the heart attack Cheney suffered late last year. She said Cheney reported the

[CTRL] Dementia linked to an excess of idleness
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! TUESDAY MARCH 06 2001 Dementia linked to an excess of idleness BY MARK HENDERSON, SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT PEOPLE who take part in few recreational activities during youth and middle age appear more likely to develop Alzheimerâs disease than their more energetic peers. A comparison of almost 200 elderly Alzheimerâs patients with healthy friends and neighbours in America revealed that those with the neurologicial condition had tended to participate much less frequently in leisure pursuits, ranging from basketball to theatre, between the ages of 20 and 60. The discovery, by scientists at the University Hospitals of Cleveland in Ohio, indicates for the first time that an inactive lifestyle may contribute to an increased risk of dementia in old age. The results could also signify, however, that an apparently idle lifestyle may be a reflection of the early effects of Alzheimerâs disease before the symptoms can properly be diagnosed. In the study, details of which are published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a research team led by Robert Friedman analysed 193 patients with symptoms of Alzheimerâs, along with a control group of 358 healthy people of the same age. To ensure a comparable social and educational background, the control group was chosen from among friends and neighbours of the patients. Each participant from both groups â or a close relative â answered a questionnaire about the way in which they used leisure time between the ages of 20 and 60, which covered 26 common pursuits, including football, swimming, gardening, theatre, watching television and roller-skating.The results showed that people who went on to develop Alzheimerâs had, on average, taken part in fewer types of recreational activity, for less time, and at a lesser intensity. While the control group had participated in 16 of the 26 activities at least once, the Alzheimerâs patients had tried only 13. The healthy group also devoted more hours per month to leisure pursuits, and were more likely to favour âintellectualâ or âphysicalâ activity, such as theatre and sport, over âpassiveâ pastimes such as watching television. The difference between the groups was greatest when it came to enjoying intellectual pursuits between the ages of 40 and 60. This could indicate that neurological changes are at work, the scientists said. The scientists said the results could stem either from the idea that intellectual or physical activity protected against the onset of Alzheimerâs, or the prospect that inactive people could be suffering from early, undiagnosed symptoms of the disease. âWe conclude that the diversity of activities and intensity of intellectual activities were reduced in patients with Alzheimerâs disease compared with the control group,â Dr Friedman said. âThese findings may be because inactivity is a risk factor for the disease, or because inactivity is a reflection of very early subclinical effects of the disease, or both.â If inactivity does raise the risk of contracting Alzheimerâs, it could explain why the disease is more common in Western societies than in the developing world. Dr Friedman said: âA protective relationship between high activity levels and Alzheimerâs disease may explain partially the low prevalence of the disease in rural India or urban Nigeria. Activity levels in developing countries are certainly very high.â *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] Army alert as virus hits Dartmoor
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! MONDAY MARCH 05 2001 Foot-and-mouth Army alert as virus hits Dartmoor BY VALERIE ELLIOTT, COUNTRYSIDE EDITOR TROOPS were on standby last night to help to round up thousands of farm animals on Dartmoor after the first confirmed foot-and-mouth case in the area broke out at one of the Prince of Walesâs Duchy of Cornwall farms. Farmers in the South West are worried about the latest development and believed the mass slaughter of thousands of cattle, sheep and even ponies could be inevitable. There was particular alarm because the Government admitted that so far there was no link with any previous cases and the virus could have been carried by the wind. A senior National Farmersâ Union source described "a mood of near hysteria and panic" in the region. The Ministry of Agriculture was awaiting details about the Dartmoor farm before triggering emergency contingency plans as the epidemic rose to 69 confirmed cases in mainland Britain and Northern Ireland and seven in Scotland. Richard Cawthorne, the Governmentâs deputy chief veterinary officer, said he believed animals on Dunna Bridge Farm, near Two Bridges on Dartmoor, had not been grazing on common land and posed no threat to the 46,000 breeding flock on the moor. Although so far there was no link with a previous case he believed they could still find one by checking the movement of animals, people and vehicles. Regional vets were assessing the situation with John Hodge, the NFU representative for Dartmoor. The Times has learnt that farmers are refusing to collect their livestock from the moor and any collection of animals would be done by troops based at Okehampton. Vets would check every animal before the cattle were shot by military marksmen. A spokesman for the NFU in the South West said the latest development was "farmingâs worst nightmare" given Devonâs place as the biggest livestock centre in the country. It is known that a number of sheep from the Dartmoor farm have jumped fences on at least one neighbouring farm in the past days and there was a bleak mood in the farming community about the threat. Baroness Hayman, junior Agriculture Minister, emphasised that there was no intention of prevaricating any decision about Dartmoor but they needed to know the full facts. The Prince of Wales was being kept informed of the situation at the farm of his tenant, Roger Winsor. A St Jamesâs Palace spokesman said: "He is very concerned about the plight of the farmer." Five farms next to the Duchy farm are to be investigated as a matter of urgency by Ministry of Agriculture vets today. They are believed to have had contact with Mr Winsorâs farm. John Hodge, chairman of the Commoners Council of Dartmoor, said: "We are hoping that so far the virus has been kept off the moor but another five farms need investigating. If there is a problem, we will divide the moor into quarters and troops from Okehampton will round up the livestock." The disease is otherwise being contained in the way the ministry has forecast and there was some comfort that the new cases were in already-infected areas. Compared with 1967, the scale of the present outbreak is smaller and the spread slower, suggesting that efforts to restrict the epidemic may be succeeding. The new cases yesterday were broken down as three in Devon, one in Cornwall, three on Tyne and Wear and three in Scotland. A total of 53,700 animals have been slaughtered or condemned and another 9,965 will be destroyed as dangerous contacts. Lady Hayman said the Government was pleased that there were so far no confirmed cases on the Continent. The Government has not even been informed of a new suspect case in Denmark. The first animals slaughtered for food under the new licensed controls were in Scotland last night. A pig abattoir at Malton in the North East was also reported ready to receive pigs to boost supplies of bacon and ham. A total of 89 licences have been granted to abattoirs to start slaughtering livestock and another 150 have applied for the licence. There were serious concerns that farmers were being offered lower prices for their livestock by abattoirs than before the outbreak, even though consumer prices are likely to go up by 20 per cent. West Devon Beef was offered £1.60 a kilo by meat firms in Somerset and the Midlands. The price before the outbreak was £1.75. Lady Hayman promised that ministers would be keeping a close eye on prices. Richard Haddock, a Devon farmer and partner in West Devon Beef, said: "We are refusing to sell for less than £1.75 per kilo. It is more evidence that farmersâ arms are being pushed behind their backs. If prices are jumping 25 per cent at Smithfield Market and 20 per cent on imports, who is profiteering here?" *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] Hanssen's Access Brings Systems Probe
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Hanssen's Access Brings Systems Probe NewsMax.com Wires Monday, March 5, 2001 WASHINGTON â Experts are combing government computer systems to try to ensure that Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent accused of spying for Moscow, did not sabotage them or create software vulnerabilities that could allow Russian intelligence agencies to steal information while he is in jail, the Washington Post reported Monday. One senior official said no conclusions have been reached about Hanssen's computer activities at the State Department, where he had been assigned since 1995 to an office that monitors foreign diplomats. "The jury is still out as to what he was able to do," the official said. "Because of the possibilities, we've got to take a look." At the FBI, systems administrators already have "scrubbed" the bureau's classified computer system, which is not attached to the Internet, the newspaper said. They found no evidence that Hanssen planted malicious software codes either to damage the network or expand his access to secrets, the officials said. U.S. counterintelligence officials say Hanssen's use of computers greatly exceeds that encountered in any other major U.S. espionage case, presenting new levels of complexity â and potential damage â as officials attempt to retrace his moves in cyberspace. "There are a large number of ways that you can infiltrate a system," said Fred Cohen, a computer security expert at Sandia National Laboratory. He added, "If you are an insider, the number increases dramatically." The Post said it is clear from the FBI's affidavit that Hanssen was a regular user of the FBI's internal network, the Automated Case Support System, which contains classified records of investigations. "The fact that a spy for Russia had access to that is very troubling," said Dion Stempfley, a former Defense Department computer expert. Sunday, the New York Times reported that Hanssen told Russia the United States built a secret tunnel under its embassy in Washington. Hanssen may have exposed the tunnel even before the embassy buildings were completed and fully occupied in the early 1990s, the report said. The tunnel was built in the 1970s and 1980s along with the hilltop embassy, a period of time when the United States was bitterly accusing the Soviets of attempting to plant spy devices at its new Moscow embassy. Hanssen was arrested Feb. 18 after months of surveillance confirmed what Russian documents turned over to the FBI had shown, that he had been spying for the Russians on and off since October 1985, the FBI said. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] 'Hate Crimes': A One-Way Street?
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! 'Hate Crimes': A One-Way Street? Wes Vernon Tuesday, March 6, 2001 A pattern has emerged in the mainstream media in dealing with "hate crimesâ: i.e. violent criminal acts motivated by bigotry. The unspoken, unwritten ethic appears to be: If a white commits a violent crime and the victim is a minority, that is by definition a "hate crimeâ and worthy of front-page headlines, complete with lead stories on the national TV news shows. On the other hand, if a minority commits a violent crime and the victim is white, that does not make it beyond the local media. That is the inescapable conclusion of a NewsMax.com survey of events over a period of months. The Wichita Rampage The most egregious recent example concerns a crime rampage in Wichita, Kan. Two young black brothers, Reginald and Jonathan Carr, have been charged with a quadruple homicide. The Shreveport Times, one of the few out-of-state media outlets to give this story any publicity at all, described the chronology of the crime in which the two men abducted five white young adults and shot them execution-style, according to the allegations in police reports. According to police: It began on a night in mid-December when they kicked in the door of a home shared by three young professionals. Two women were there for an engagement party. While one held the five people at gunpoint, the other loaded up a van with two TVs, a computer, dishes, bedding, luggage, credit cards, and wallets. They also found a diamond ring. "That was for you,â Jason Befort told one of the young women. "I was going to ask you to marry me.â The Carr brothers then forced the young people to take them to automatic teller machines and withdraw money. So thatâs a sheer case of robbery, right? Whereâs the "hate crimeâ? Thereâs more. Apparently not at all satisfied with the heist, the Carrs then drove their victims to a soccer field and took turns raping the women, while the three men were forced to watch. Then the men were forced to commit homosexual acts on each other. Then each was forced to have sex with the women while the Carr brothers drank beer and laughed. Still nude, all five were ordered to kneel in front of the carâs headlights in the snow. Each was shot in the back of the head execution-style before the brothers drove off and left them for dead. Four of them did indeed die. But the fifth, Jason Befortâs fiancée, feigned death, then got up, bleeding from head to toe, and walked a mile in subzero weather to the nearest house, where an elderly couple called 911. It was later learned that this was the last stop on a crime rampage wherein the two black men had robbed a convenience store, kidnapped a man the next day and pistol-whipped him after forcing him to withdraw money from an ATM before letting him go, and violently robbed a 55-year old cellist with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra and shot her in the spine. She died about three weeks later. The district attorney in Wichita has concluded none of these crimes was motivated by racial hatred. That has drawn a howl of protest from many in the community. Aside from the fact that the victims were of a different racial group than the perpetrators, they note the following: 1 â The extreme sadism and violence went way beyond what was necessary to successfully complete a robbery. 2 - As far as anyone knows, there was no warrant issued to search the residences of the accused to determine if they may have been motivated by racial hate literature. 3 - There is no record of questioning close friends, family, neighbors or associates to determine if the two brothers had at any time expressed anti-white bigotry. NewMax.com asked the local newspaper, the Wichita Eagle, to send us the original story of the violence involving the Carr brothers, which was done. However, when we later asked for any information as to possible controversy on the "ethnicâ or "culturalâ angles to the crime, the newspaper did not respond. The question is relevant in light of the coast-to-coast, wall-to-wall, night-after-night coverage of the outrageous murders of Matthew Shepherd, a gay man in Wyoming, and James Byrd Jr., a black man in Texas. In both of these cases, law enforcement authorities went the extra mile to establish that a "hate crimeâ had been committed. Why, critics wonder, has there been no publicly acknowledged similar investigation in the Wichita case? Ignored by the Media Other examples of a news blackout of reverse "hate crimes" include: In Arkansas, two homosexuals were charged with sodomizing and killing 13-year old Jesse Dirkhising. The boy died from suffocation after being bound, gagged with underwear in his mouth, blindfolded, taped to the bed, and sodomized by one gay man, while another gay man watched. This happened shortly after the Matthew Shepherd killing. The latter was big national news. For

[CTRL] The Far Right Targets The Left
-Caveat Lector- DRY ROT -- The Far Right Targets The Left By Will Offley Canadian Dimension, January/February 2001 Volume 35, Number 1 http://www.canadiandimension.mb.ca/ Like most huge events in history, the fall of the Berlin Wall shook our world. In doing so it also changed the ground rules of politics. Whether you call it paradigm shift or merely the temporary triumph of neo-liberalism, the dust from the Wall's collapse has clouded our vision for nearly a decade. Without exception, currents of the left around the world have found themselves disoriented and scrambling to create a new vision and a new political framework within which to organize and to fight. This has not only been true for the traditional Communist Parties, but for the non-Stalinist and anti-Stalinist left as well. The left has not yet been able to reconstitute a coherent vision of the new world we want to see issue from the ashes of the old, nor have we articulated the strategy or programme or organizations necessary to make that happen. As a result, radical left politics have remained largely confined to "anti" politics for a decade or more: anticorporate, anti-globalization, anticapitalist. We have remained locked down behind the relatively easy bulwark of what we're against, rather than venturing out into the exposed and more dangerous terrain of defining what we're for. In addition, in some sectors there have been marked tendencies to view the capitalist system through the lens of conspiracism and irrationality, where plots and conspiracies replace class interests and mass politics as the motor forces of human society. This weakening of its culture, institutions and politics have rendered some sectors of the broad left vulnerable to the conscious and organized predation being carried out in Canada by a specific current of the far right. In the U.S. this dates back as far as the Gulf War, where neo-fascist currents like the Larouche organization and Spotlight sought to attach themselves to the movement against the war. Is the Canadian left immune from this sort of targeting? No. Is the situation any different now, a decade later? Yes and no. Yes, because Seattle has led to Washington, and from there to Philadelphia and L.A. and Windsor and Prague. Quebec will be next, and it won't be the end. The rise of the struggle in the streets against globalization marks the end of ten years of demoralization and confusion. There is a new dynamism and a new optimism, and if the path ahead is only partially visible, at least we're collectively underway again. However, one has only to look at Seattle to see that the growth of far right currents within and alongside the left and progressive movements has increased visibly over the decade. There are also indicators that point to a change - during the Gulf War, the far right was active on the fringes, but by Seattle it seemed to be active at the very centre of things. While the young militants faced down the cops and the gas in downtown Seattle, on a leadership level elements of that movement were being increasingly compromised politically by a de facto convergence between Ralph Nader and the most important far-right leader in the United States, the semi-fascist Pat Buchanan. Five months later during the April 16th mobilizations in Washington, Buchanan shared a stage with Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa Jr. as an invited guest of the AFL-CIO. Antiglobalist politics are not the exclusive preserve of the left. Though it springs from different roots, Buchanan's opposition to globalization and free trade is as genuine as ours. He just takes it in a direction diametrically opposed to everything else we stand for: protectionism, racism, exclusion. Not only that, there have been plenty of examples this century to show the far right can be anti-corporate too. Throughout the 1920's Hitler's Nazi Party contained a minority current led by Gregor and Otto Strasser that was inalterably opposed to the German trusts... as well as the Jews, the Communists, Social Democrats, gays and lesbians, unions, etc. Nor is the far right confined solely to the hardcore neo-Nazism of the Heritage Front or the Northern Hammerskins. It's relatively easy to ward off the interventions of groups that put swastikas on their literature. It's considerably more difficult when the politics of the groups in question are cloaked in progressive rhetoric and hidden behind coded language. Between Wolfgang Droege and Stockwell Day there is a whole swamp of currents and organizations - conspiracist, anti-Semitic, some with hidden fascist agendas, some totalitarian, some merely far right. Some of these are targeting the left. There is reason to be concerned. ** Although they're based at different ends of the country, they seem to be made for each other. The Radical is a monthly tabloid published in Quesnel, B.C. since June 1998 by Arthur Topham, a self-described anarchist who regards himself as "a natural,

On the other hand, for almost two thousand years, Jews were arguably the most peace loving People on earth. They had no choice. They didn't have an army. Most of them still are. But that came later. If you mean Hellenism. Yes. If you mean something else, then not likely. Hellenism for sure, what else we dont know. Persian religious thought, and presumably some practice, was quite popular among a large numbers of Jews of the time. A case can be made that portions of modern Judaism is are Persian grafts. Could be. This is a good observation, but consider this. James, Jesus' brother was a NAZIR. A Nazir is the ONLY instance in Jewish culture where it is permitted to put aside the commandment to be fruitful and multiply. In other words, if one dedicates his life to the service of god, he may be a monk. Good point. I hadnt thought of that. Tell us more about the Nazir. James was a Nazir Source on that? Acts ( 21:18-23 ). The final showdown between Paul and James. James tells Paul about penitents in the temple who have taken an oath upon themselves (Consecrated=Nazir). The Nazirite oath as described in the book of numbers and further elucidated in the Talmud. Samson was a Nazirite too. He derived his strength from his personal holyness. Not from his long hair. Nazirs did not cut their hair or play hide the salami. When Delilah cut Samson's hair, it was symbolic that Samson renegged on his oath and was no longer a 'separated one'. A consecrated one. A holy roller. He lost his god given special power. You know the rest. He apparently got some part of John the Baptist's movement. Apparently. Thats certainly what Nag Hammadi points to. So? This of course ALL speculation. But it's speculation within the correct framework. Its still speculation, though. To get really beyond speculation well need for more data to come in. Hopefully some archeologist will luck out and find some documentation. Its possible. Given enough time, its even likely. Seeing it reach the mass media when it happens, is a little less likely. But we can hope. I don't know. I would guess that anything found that relates to that period would be sensational and well covered.

Have you seen these ads? Over a speedy montage of verdant rice paddies, smiling Asian kids and kindly third-world doctors, a caring voice describes something called golden rice and its promise to "help prevent blindness and infection in millions of children" suffering from vitamin-A deficiency. This new rice has been engineered, using a daffodil gene, to produce beta- carotene, a nutrient the body can convert into vitamin A. Watching the pitch, you can almost feel the moral ground shifting under your feet. For the unspoken challenge here is that if we don't get over our queasiness about eating genetically modified food, kids in the third world will go blind. It appears that biotechnology, which heretofore had little more to offer the world than plants that could shake off a shower of herbicide, has finally found a "killer app" that can silence its critics and win over journalists. It's working, too: Time magazine put golden rice on its cover, declaring, "This rice could save a million kids a year." Even Greenpeace has acknowledged that "golden rice is a moral challenge to our position." Yet the more one learns about biotechnology's Great Yellow Hope, the more uncertain seems its promise -- and the industry's command of the moral high ground. Indeed, it remains to be seen whether golden rice will ever offer as much to malnourished children as it does to beleaguered biotech companies. Its real achievement may be to win an argument rather than solve a public-health problem. Which means we may be witnessing the advent of the world's first purely rhetorical technology. If that sounds harsh, consider this: an 11-year-old would have to eat 15 pounds of cooked golden rice a day -- quite a bowlful -- to satisfy his minimum daily requirement of vitamin A. Even if that were possible (or if scientists boosted beta-carotene levels), it probably wouldn't do a malnourished child much good, since the body can only convert beta-carotene into vitamin A when fat and protein are present in the diet. Fat and protein in the diet are, of course, precisely what a malnourished child lacks. Further, there's no guarantee people will eat yellowish rice. Brown rice, after all, is already rich in nutrients, yet most Asians prefer white rice, which is not. Rice has long had a complicated set of meanings in Asian culture. Confucius, for example, extolled the pure whiteness of rice as the ideal backdrop for green vegetables. That works fine so long as you've still got the vegetables. But once rice became a monoculture cash crop, it crowded the green vegetables out of people's fields and out of their diet. Proponents of golden rice acknowledge that persuading people to eat it may require an educational campaign. This begs a rather obvious question. Why not simply a campaign to persuade them to eat brown rice? Or how about teaching people how to grow green vegetables on the margins of their rice fields, and maybe even give them the seeds to do so? Or what about handing out vitamin-A supplements to children so severely malnourished their bodies can't metabolize beta-carotene? As it happens, these ridiculously obvious, unglamorous, low-tech schemes are being tried today, and according to the aid groups behind them, all they need to work are political will and money. Money? More than $100 million dollars has been spent developing golden rice, and another $50 million has been budgeted for advertisements touting the technology's future benefits. A spokesman for Syngenta, the company that plans to give golden rice seeds to poor farmers, has said that every month of delay will mean another 50,000 blind children. Yet how many cases of blindness could be averted right now if the industry were to divert its river of advertising dollars to a few of these programs? Which brings us to some uncomfortable questions about the industry's motives. In January, Gordon Conway, the president of the Rockefeller Foundation - which financed

Excerpts from The Final Report of the Select
To Study Governmental Operations
With Respect To Intelligence Activities ("Church
Book I, "Foreign and Military
Intelligence," U.S. Senate, April 26, 1976
The Church Committee on the CIA in Academia
Committee's note: The material italicized in this report has been
substantially abridged at the request
of the executive agencies.
The Central Intelligence Agency has long-developed clandestine relationships
with the
American academic community, which range from academics making introductions
for
intelligence purposes to intelligence collection while abroad, to academic
research and
writing where CIA sponsorship is hidden.
The Central Intelligence Agency is now using several hundred American
academics
("academics" includes administrators, faculty members and graduate students
engaged in teaching), who in addition to providing leads and, on occasion,
making
introductions for intelligence purposes, occasionally write books and other
material
to be used for propaganda purposes abroad. Beyond these, an additional few
score
are used in an unwitting manner for minor activities.
These academics are located in over 100 American colleges, universities, and
related institutes. At the majority of institutions, no one other than the
individual
concerned is aware of the CIA link. At the others, at least one university
official is
aware of the operational use made of academics on his campus. In addition,
there
are several American academics abroad who serve operational purposes,
primarily
the collection of intelligence.
Although the numbers are not as great today as in 1966, there are no
prohibitions
to prevent an increase in the operational use of academics. The size of these
operations is determined by the CIA.
With the exception of those teachers, scholars and students who receive
scholarships or grants from the Board of Foreign Scholarships, the CIA is not
prohibited from the operational use of all other categories of grantee
support under
the Fullbright-Hays Act (artists, athletes, leaders, specialists, etc.). Nor
is there any
prohibition on the operational use of individuals participating in any other
exchange
program funded by the United States Government.
The Committee is disturbed both by the present practices of operationally
using
American academics and by the awareness that the restraints on expanding this
practice are primarily those of sensitivity to the risks of disclosure and
not an
appreciation of dangers to the integrity of individuals and institutions.
The Committee believes that it is the responsibility of private institutions
and
particularly the American academic community to set the professional and
ethical
standards of its members.

[CTRL] How it's done: Agency-Academic Relations
-Caveat Lector- [ The CIA asked University of California administrator Earl Clinton Bolton, who was spending some time at CIA headquarters, to suggest ideas on how to improve relations between the Agency and academia. ] Academia 01, p.1 5 August 1968 MEMORANDUM FOR: [deleted] SUBJECT: Agency-Academic Relations This is an attempt to make some observations and suggestions about Agency-academic relations. In doing so I am grateful for the stimulus furnished by your outline. Although I believe I have addressed myself to most of the questions you have raised I have done so in free form rather than by a point by point consideration. I have also used "head notes" for purposes of organization and in an attempt to highlight the crucial questions in the subject. Justifying an Agency-Academic Relationship: Let me stress at the outset that I believe Agency-academic relations are for the most part very good. Though I have no quantitative data to support such a conclusion my guess is that 99% of the members of the academy would be willing to assist the Agency if properly and skillfully approached, and that only a small fraction of that other 1% would be angered by an invitation to assist or would attempt to embarrass the Agency in any way. However, on occasion when a university or an individual has acknowledged any contact with the Agency there has been some outcry by a few vocal members of the academic community. In a later part of this paper I suggest "an affirmative program" designed to improve the Agency's reputation in academic circles and thus decrease the risks (costs) of association with the Agency. However, until either the passage of time or an image bolstering plan changes the cliches of the moment an educational institution or individual electing to assist the Agency may be on the defensive. In my view the best way to defend association with the Agency when such a defense is necessary is: 1. By relating work for the Agency to one of the traditional functions of a university; and Academia 01, p.2 2. By basing the defense or rejoinder on long established academic values. The Functions of a University: There is almost universal agreement that universities do (and properly should) engage in the following basic functions: 1. The preservation and transmission of knowledge to their constituency (i.e. the so-called teaching function); and 2. The testing of that which is currently accepted as "truth" and the discovery of new truth (i.e. the research function); and 3. The performance for society's benefit of those functions which can best (or exclusively) be performed by a university (i.e. the public service function) Authorities will differ as to whether a sub-function e.g. the training of a leadership elite to be innovative and responsive should be included under "1" or "3" above, but there is little disagreement that what higher education is all about is encompassed within these general goals. The Agency should phrase its requests to academia in such a way that the service being sought relates as clearly and directly as possible to one of these traditional functions and when necessary the university and individual scholar should explain involvement with the Agency as a contribution to one of these proper academic goals. It should also be stressed that when an apologia is necessary it can best be made: (1) by some distant academic who is not under attack, (2) in a "respectable" publication of general circulation (e.g. Harpers, Saturday Review, Vital Speeches, etc.), and (3) with full use of the jargon of the academy (as illustrated below). Traditional Mores of the Academic: Every profession develops a certain ethical or philosophical penumbra which is more or less sacred and which protects from attack the most vulnerable or least understood rites of that profession. This body of doctrine usually develops by "common law" and is subsequently codified. (Incidentally the codified dogma never precisely articulates the full scope of the protective doctrines; hence there is sufficient vagueness in the total traditions of the profession to provide a skillful polemicist with formidable ammunition for defense.) Academia 01, p.3 Two doctrines fiercely protected by the academy are "academic freedom" and "privilege and tenure." The former is the absolute right of the scholar to investigate any subject within his competence, in any lawful way, at any time. The latter doctrine holds that a fully initiated member of the profession has certain irrevocable privileges, including but not limited to, the right to continue his association with the university until retirement without fear of termination except for a very few egregious offenses. When attacked for aiding the Agency the academic (or institution) should base a rejoinder on these sacred doctrines. For example, a professor's right to undertake classified research is unassailable if he stands on the
[CTRL] Dulles Papers Reveal CIA Consulting Network
-Caveat Lector- 3/5/01 A reminder. George Bush Sr. was head of CIA from Yale. -- Joshua2 = Forerunner, April 29, 1980 Panel met secretly in Princeton Dulles Papers Reveal CIA Consulting Network by John Cavanagh A government which corrupts its colleges and universities by making political fronts of them . . . has betrayed academic freedom and compromised all who teach. When colleges and universities are made conduits of deceit and when faculty members are paid to lie, there is an end to the common good of higher education. -- Professor Van Alstyne, former president of the American Association of University Professors (Academe, June 1976, p. 54) Throughout the 1960s, and possibly longer, at least five Princeton professors worked secretly as high-level consultants for the CIA, according to previously undisclosed documents contained in the personal papers of former CIA director Allen W. Dulles '14. Cyril Black, Klaus Knorr, Joseph Strayer, James Billington, and the late T. Cuyler Young served as members of the "Princeton Consultants," a secret panel of academics who met in Princeton, together with Dulles, four times a year to assist with intelligence assessments for the CIA's Office of National Estimates. Professor Black, who had told the Daily Princetonian in 1976 that he had never been in the CIA's "employ," confirmed to the Forerunner last week that he had indeed served as a paid consultant for the spy agency. "Nobody ever asked me if I was a consultant," Black explained. Billington acknowledged to the Daily Princetonian in 1968 that he consulted for the CIA's Office of National Estimates, according to him, "two or three times a year." Strayer had also been publicly identified as a CIA consultant. The CIA activities of the other two professors, however, have until now remained a secret, as has the existence of the Princeton Consultants group. Black confirmed that then-Princeton President Robert Goheen was aware of the group's existence. But he said that it was "not a university matter at all." The Dulles papers and letters, which are housed in Princeton's Seeley G. Mudd Library, afford a rare glimpse into the CIA's interactions with Princeton and other universities from the early 1950s until Dulles's death in 1969. Dulles maintained close ties with his alma mater, including seats on Princeton's Board of Trustees and on the Woodrow Wilson School Advisory Council. Access to the Papers is contingent upon approval by an Allen W. Dulles Committee. In addition, researchers are required to sign a contract stating that any publication using the Papers will be submitted in advance to the Committee for approval. After a one-month delay, permission was obtained for this article. Before this month's careful research in the Dulles Papers, little was documented of relations between the CIA and the Princeton faculty. Other than history professor Joseph Strayer, whom one writer termed "the agency's most devoted consultant" (James Ridgeway, The Cloned Corporation, 1968, p. 138), only two professors had been identified who served in organizations that received CIA funding: Politics professor Paul Sigmund with the Independent Research Service, and Near Eastern Studies professor Morroe Berger with the Congress for Cultural Freedom. Previous disclosures about Princeton and the CIA were limited to close ties in three other areas: recruitment (including extensive CIA collaboration with former Dean of Students, William D'O. Lippincott '41 and former Director of Career Services Newell Brown '39); CIA research carried out on the Princeton campus (including the secret MK-ULTRA mind control program); and close institutional ties (several Princeton alumni have served as CIA Director, Deputy Director, or Director of Personnel). Princeton Consultants: The Structure Perhaps the most extraordinary of the Papers' contents are letters and memos which expose Strayer as a small tip of a consultant iceberg. Filed under "Princeton Consultants" and cross-referenced under "Central Intelligence Agency: Panel of Consultants (Princeton Consultants)," letters from 1961 to 1969 sketch the outlines of one of the central programs of professors covertly consulting for the CIA. The only year during which the entire membership of the Consultants is known is 1961, when all of them signed a note of "respect and affection" to Dulles that accompanied a gift.
[CTRL] THE FRAUD OF BLACK CAPITALISM
-Caveat Lector- Subject: (en) THE REST OF THE NEWS(2) Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 22:19:29 -0600 (CST) From: Lorenzo Ervin [EMAIL PROTECTED] A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C E http://www.ainfos.ca/ THE REST OF THE NEWS by Lorenzo Komboa Ervin THE FRAUD OF BLACK CAPITALISM (2) Recently I wrote the first installment of my newspaper column, wherein I criticized Black capitalism [and the capitalist system generally], and the attempt of some individuals and groups to put forth small scale capitalism as a way forward for the liberation of Black people. I heard from many of you out there, some praising me for the articles, saying it was something that they wished that those in the Black leadership would write and say such things about folks trying to either make a business of the Black liberation struggle, or offering a false image of economic development under this system as a way forward for the freedom of our people. But, there were also critics, many of whom did not even appear to understand what I was talking about, who accused me of "trying to stop them from "making a living", "or trying to stop Black people from "expressing their creativity"[?], discouraging them from starting small businesses, or from achieving "financial independence", "economic freedom" and so on. According to one guy I am even trying to stop "us" from doing what the "White man is doing to be a success." They praised Tony Brown, Matah, and the other Black-faced economic programs, and defended them from my earlier attack, implying that I was a bad guy, traitor, or "just not with it". I am just not sure that "it" is a good thing. I want those critics to be clear that I am not opposed to some individual entering the sales field, starting a small business, credit union, or other effort to make a living for themselves and their families. I am opposed to our people being scammed in the process by those who present this as the *only way* we can get free. To me, this kind of argument chains us even more to the political plantation, and lays us open to exploitation by a new class of masters selling fairy tales of economic riches. I'll just say here that we are not fighting to replace the white exploiters with a new class of Black exploiters; we need to get rid of all of them, whether wearing a Dashiki or Brooks Brothers suit. First of all, who ever said that "what the White man is doing" is such a great thing? I disagree that we should emulate white capitalist businessmen, call it a "Black thing" and then put that forward as "a path of freedom." What the capitalist is doing [or has done] is forcibly exploiting our labor , imprisoning our youth, destroying the land and natural resources of this land and the rest of the world, and other crimes all in the name of "progress" and "profit." Remember, Brother Malcolm X said: "...you show me a capitalist, I"ll show you a racist..." In condemning my position against capitalism and defending U.S. imperialism, one Brother even asked about "ghettoes and poverty" in Cuba. Well, my question is why is it that in the richest country in the world, that there is much more poverty, inequality, and economic underdevelopment of the Black community than anywhere else? I am concerned with why these things exist in the United States [where I currently reside], than I am about a small country in the Carribean, underdeveloped because of years of economic and political domination by the USA. Then the Matahh folks tried to pressure me with a variety of e-mails (and I can even remember telemarketing phone calls some months ago when I lived in Atlanta and Tennessee) to sell me on their Multi-level Marketing plan to distribute products from Black businesses by sales agents in the community. For the life of me, I cannot see, [except for the "in your face" Black nationalist veneer and guilt-tripping rhetoric], how this differs from AMWAY or any other MLM plan promising "financial independence." How are we are supposed to be economically "liberated" under this system without a struggle for Black liberation? It is possible to profit from these plans, but as individuals, and certainly not as a whole people. I can make the same argument about Tony Brown's "Buy Freedom" program, Farrakhan's "Clean and Fresh " MLM scheme of a few years ago, and others not named here. I don't oppose them for the individuals who are engaged in them trying to make a living, but when their leaders come forward and say to millions of our people that we should all do this and that if we do not, then we are "bogus", or "not serious about our freedom" or some such nonsense, then I draw the line. I do not believe that there is any separate path to freedom due to Black trade among ourselves, nor do I think there is any real "financial independence" under the
[CTRL] Europol persecutes anarchists and radicals
-Caveat Lector- From: agitation-propaganda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 : Europol persecutes anarchists and radicals by Endika Zulueta Heads of police from all the European Community's member states, together with 87 heads of police from other countries and representatives from the European Commission met between the 29th January and the 2nd February 2001 in the Madrid police complex in Canillas to hold the 1st European Conference on Terrorism, organised by the Ministry of the interior of Spain and Europol. The Spanish interior Minister, Jaime Mayor Oreha opened the conference and it was presided by Jurgen Storbeck, the German police commissar, who has led Europol since its beginning. As is normal in the majority of Europol's activities, the Conference took place in a semi-clandestine climate, and with scarcely any noise made in the media, despite that directives were agreed on there about the whole of Europe's police activities for the year's ahead. In the opening of the conference, Mayor Orejo considered Europol as "the main institution in the struggle against terrorism", describing it as "the suitable forum where the member states of the European Union should work to design a new model of common security for Europe". Immediately afterwards, he urged the police representatives to "...encourage their respective countries to start the Order of European Search and Capture" (The Euro-Order). The aim of this is to make the alleged criminal immediately available to the authorities of the country where they have allegedly committed the most serious crime. This would do away with the current extradition procedures. Mayor Oreja declared that "terrorism is not only a group of commandos who act, but is a project that tries to root itself in society, and to combat it, it is also necessary to struggle against the social, economic, political and also communication structures which support and nourish it." That is to say, a political project which is based on radically dissenting political activity, even if not violent in any way, can qualify as terrorism. MADRID EUROPOL DOCUMENT- At the end of the Madrid conference, all the responsibles from European police forces signed the so-called MADRID DOCUMENT. It is the Europol guide to the "anti-terrorism struggle" for the coming years and in it, amongst other things, the following proposals are agreed on: --To support the initiative in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece "as a new experiment with a joint investigation team in relation to "anarchist terrorism"". In the course of the Conference, Juan Cotino, director general of the police, had already announce that Spain, Italy and Greece had reached an agreement to create an "investigation group with the aim of combatting the terrorism of radical groups which act in the three countries", this being the first time that groups called "radicals" or "anarchists" officially enter into the field of activity of Europol, and it is not chance that this happened immediately after the antiglobalisation struggles which took place in Prague and (parallel to the Conference in Madrid) in Davos. --The "creation of a data base what would include the details (registros - unsure of translation) of the most wanted terrorists in the European Union, to support a proactive search for them (and not just in relation to intelligence work)". Beforehand, it had already been announced that this data base would go "beyond the merely necessary information". It was not more specific than this, but could mean that the right to privacy (which is fundamental in the Spanish Constitution) could become meaningless. Turning to the far east, Europol proposes nothing less than studying and searching for a way to finance a "plan of rewards and economic incentives for those who contribute information about terrorists" which would need to be approved by the Executive Committee of the europolice. From this moment on, we citizens of the European Union will be able to look around at each other calculating how much money we could receive (or they could demand) for our respective heads. As for the unification of European judicial systems, the Madrid Document of Europol proposes putting in progress of the mutual recognition countries of anti-terrorism legislation between Europol's members. It also proposes the quick and effective implementation of interrogation (rogatorias-unsure of translation) commissions; the simplification of extradition processes, as well as starting a feasibility study for the creation of the Euro-Order. The EURO ORDER: The Spanish government, in its eagerness to eliminate procedural guarantees relating to detained persons, is leading a particular battle inside the framework of the European Union for the suppression of the guaranteed procedures in the extradition process related to "terrorism". The European Union is rapidly becoming a police state. On the 28th November last year, it secured an agreement to this effect

'Straight Pride' Shirt Banned
By Stuart Shepard, correspondent
A Minnesota high school officially sanctions "gay pride," but
recently banned a solitary expression of "straight pride."
Elliott Chambers is 16, a Christian, and the owner of a sweatshirt
that reads "Straight Pride" on the front with a logo of a boy and
girl holding hands on the back. He tried to wear it at his school
recently, which mandates "gay pride" stickers and posters be
placed on walls and doors designating so-called "safe zones" for
homosexual students.
"They have all this gay-pride stuff, and I thought it would be cool if
we had a straight pride shirt for a change," Chambers said. "It
was just to get people thinking."
It only succeeded in getting some of his classmates thinking of
going to the principal's office, which is where Elliott ended up.
"(The principal) said that I couldn't wear it," Chambers said. "I
guess his cover was that it would incite violence."
Lana Chambers, Elliott's mom, was livid when she found out
about the principal's action.
"I said, 'You're telling me that he cannot wear this shirt because
it's offensive to them (homosexuals)? Well, those signs are
offensive to him! And to me! And I'm a taxpayer!' " Lana
Chambers said.
Attorney Frank Manion, with the American Center for Law and

Straight Pride web site:
http://straightpridewear.com/
Straight Pride is a statement from the Silent Majority that is
gaining momentum.
According to Randy Thomasson, who is now the Executive Director
of Campaign for California Families: "The debate over Homosexual
rights or "gay rights" is raging in California. From the notion
of gay "marriage" to domestic partners to adoption of children
by homosexual couples to powerful civil rights status on the
basis of "sexual orientation," the gay rights movement is
pushing legislation at the state and local levels to get what
it wants. Unfortunately, the loudness of gay rights has put
many citizens who embrace family values on the defensive."
Our mission is to help these citizens of the Silent Majority
put their message out to the world of "political correctness"
that we are "Straight" and proud of it! We plan on
accomplishing this by offering our products to the
marketplace and providing articles and links to other sites
that share our philosophy.

Re: [CTRL] The Far Right Targets The Left
DRY ROT -- The Far Right Targets The Left By Will Offley Canadian Dimension, January/February 2001 Volume 35, Number 1 What superficial drivel!! There is no real difference between the Far Right and the Left. Both are Statist, racialist, political mindsets that are based on irrational religiosity and social myth. Both ultimately lead to Police States and Mass Murder. Perhaps one difference is that the Far Right probably admits it to themselves - the Left are more adept at self deception.flw
[CTRL] Navy Submarine Was in Hurry to Surface, Court Told
-Caveat Lector- Monday March 5 10:06 PM ET Navy Submarine Was in Hurry to Surface, Court Told By Dan Whitcomb HONOLULU (Reuters) - The crew of the USS Greeneville (news - web sites) was rushing through an emergency surfacing maneuver when it struck the Japanese fishing vessel Ehime Maru because lunch for a group of VIPs on board had taken too long, the first witness told a U.S. Navy court of inquiry on Monday. Charles Griffiths Jr., the Navy admiral in charge of the initial investigation after the crash, said it appeared that the captain of the Greeneville, Scott Waddle, was behind schedule and hurried through a sonar search so he would not get his VIP guests home late that day. Griffiths said main purpose of the trip that day was a civilian tour. He added that a key piece of equipment on the sub was broken and that one of the ship's sonars was being operated by a trainee. He said that in normal circumstances the sub's crew should have seen the Japanese fishing vessel. ``That ship should have been seen given enough time by the periscope operator. Time is a great ally in these events,'' he said. He said that one crew member -- a fire control technician -- saw evidence of a ship nearby but failed to notify his superiors. ``What I can't understand is that he did have indications that there was contact ... it seems to me the operator figured out that this guy (the Japanese ship) was getting pretty close and did not make that report There is no reason he should not have spoken up, no matter how busy he was,'' he said. Nine people aboard the Ehime Maru, a Japanese vessel used to teach high school students about the fishing industry, were killed in the Feb. 9 accident. The incident has strained relations between Japan and the United States. A Japanese admiral is hearing the case along with three U.S. admirals but cannot take part in the decision. Griffiths said the mission was predominantly designed to provide a tour for VIPs and that they were running about 45 minutes behind schedule. He said the reason for the delay was that the civilian guests had to eat lunch in two shifts because the mess room only held 10 people at a time. ``The Greeneville's mission predominantly was to embark distinguished visitors and operate for a time in local waters,'' Griffiths said. Running Behind Schedule He said it appeared to him that the crew of the Greeneville did not take enough time to do their sonar searches because they were running behind schedule because they wanted to get the VIPs back in time. ``I have a statement from the officer of the deck that indicates the captain wanted to be at periscope depth in five minutes'' -- about half the time he said was needed to perform a sufficient sonar search. Griffiths said it normally takes at least two legs or 10 minutes of searches to do an adequate job. ``That would imply he wanted to get to periscope depth in a hurry and I can surmise that's because they were late.'' He also said that during the morning of the mission, a key piece of equipment called a sonar repeater was found to be broken. He said that when he was a submarine commander, ``I felt somewhat naked without it, it was a big deal.'' Griffiths also said that one of the ship's sonars was being operated by a trainee who should have been supervised by a senior sonar operator. But that senior sonar operator was busy acting as a tour guide instead. ``Somebody qualified should have been overseeing that operator,'' Griffiths said. Shortly after the hearing started, attorney Charles Gittins, the lawyer for the Greeneville's commander Scott Waddle, objected to the presence of Admiral Isamu Ozawa of Japan as a non-voting member of the court. Gittins said attorneys were unable to challenge Ozawa as they can the other three voting members. The other three judges can be questioned, challenged and potentially removed. The Japanese representative, even though he can't vote, cannot be removed. Inquiry Could Lead To Courts Martial Gittins said Navy rules did not appear to allow the Japanese admiral to deliberate with the other three judges. He also objected because the Japanese admiral is not part of the U.S. Navy and has never taken an oath under the U.S. Constitution. The Court of Inquiry could also lead to courts martial for three or more officers of the Greeneville who will be asked to explain how they failed to notice the 190-foot (58-meter) fishing boat before surfacing off Diamond Head near Honolulu. The Greeneville was practicing emergency maneuvers on the afternoon of Feb. 9 when it shot out of the water and plowed into the Ehime Maru, sinking the trawler -- which was packed with Japanese high school students. Nine people from the vessel died and 26 were rescued. The tragedy sparked a furor in Japan that intensified after Navy officials disclosed that 16 civilians were on board the Greeneville at the time of the collision. Two were operating the submarine's controls. Some analysts think the
[CTRL] The Truth About North Korea's Missile Program
http://www.stratfor.com/home/giu/archive/030501 The Truth About North Korea's Missile Program 05 March 2001 Summary Despite occasional signals to the contrary, North Korea continues to try to develop long-range missiles. But the regime of Kim Jong Il finds the path to a significant breakthrough blocked – not by U.S. efforts, but notably by the Chinese and Russian governments. The North Korean missile program is in fact primitive and unlikely to pose a threat to the United States anytime soon. Washington has apparently overstated the North's capabilities in the quest for a national missile defense. Analysis In recent months, North Korea has signaled it would curtail ballistic missile development after sending ripples of fear throughout East Asia with its 1998 missile test. Caught by surprise, Washington seized on that test to redouble efforts to build a national missile defense. Late last year, Pyongyang told Russian President Vladimir Putin it might halt development altogether in return for commercial space-launch capabilities. In December, the regime pledged not to test fire another long-range weapon, like the three-stage Taepo Dong-1 that flew over Japan in 1998. In February, Pyongyang issued a veiled threat, saying stalled talks might force it to abandon its pledge. Reliable intelligence indicates the regime is, in fact, struggling to develop its missile program. North Korea continues to assist other nations – most notably Iran, Pakistan and Syria – by sharing propulsion and staging technology that can add range to these nations’ missiles; in exchange, Pyongyang receives hard currency and access to certain technology. In North Korea itself, the focus has shifted away from live tests to laboratory and theoretical work aimed at increasing accuracy. But the North finds itself stalled in making any significant breakthroughs. The program is chiefly hampered, not by U.S. pressure, but by the unwillingness of the Chinese and Russian governments to significantly advance Pyongyang’s knowledge. Both Beijing and Moscow are withholding valuable technology. Contrary to Central Intelligence Agency projections, the North is not gaining significant Chinese or Russian technology. Even if the regime chose to launch a long-range missile today, it would have great difficulty in doing so because the entire inventory of long-range missiles in North Korea appears to be composed of as few as one or two weapons. The true state of the program appears starkly primitive and incapable of a significant breakthrough as long as China and Russia refuse to provide significant assistance. Another test launch is unlikely. And while the North won’t abandon the program, the American fear of a surprise strike – with little or no warning – is unfounded at the present time. Up Close: The North’s Missile Program North Korea’s armed forces – under the guise of a civilian agency – continue research and development efforts, as opposed to active testing. The missile program is politically important. The regime continues the program instead of shelving it, because the program has helped extract concessions from the United States and others, while increasing the North’s military capabilities and gaining it hard currency. The pursuit of these political goals, however, mitigates the chances of a new missile test anytime soon. Such a launch would threaten engagement with South Korea’s government, which is pursuing its “sunshine” policy. And a launch would risk sorely needed foreign investment and aid. South Korean companies, despite a downturn, pledged to invest in North Korea in everything from tourism to heavy manufacturing. Given the value of the program in its current state of hibernation, the North’s research efforts increasingly focus on improving the accuracy of long-range missiles. The lack of accuracy is the Achilles’ heel of the North’s program, which has overcome other obstacles such as devising primitive multi-stage vehicles and increasing range. Laboratory research is largely theoretical, involving physics calculations and mathematical estimates that are apparently sub-critical efforts. Much of Washington’s case for a national missile defense in recent years has rested on North Korea. The 1998 test flight forced the Clinton administration to become more aggressive on national missile defense; the findings of the Rumsfeld Commission six weeks earlier had warned the CIA could not predict a sudden technological breakthrough. And late last year, advocates of a land-based national missile defense discounted the U.S. Navy’s ability to shoot down missiles rising out of the North’s mountainous geography.. But even the intended aim point of the 1998 test remains a mystery to foreign intelligence agencies, underscoring problems with hitting a target precisely. The test launch captured the world’s attention, with the missile flying over Japan. But the
[CTRL] Indoor Air Pollution From Water Fluoridation
-Caveat Lector- Indoor Air Pollution From Water Fluoridation http://home.att.net/~gtigerclaw/Indoor.html By George Glasser 3-5-1 After more than fifty years and more than forty thousand studies, researchers have never addressed the subject of indoor fluoride pollution by residual fluorides resulting from drinking water fluoridation. USEPA Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health but may not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant effects. EPA studies of human exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally, more than 100 times higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants are of particular concern because it is estimated that most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors. When fluoridated water evaporates, small amounts of fluoride salts are formed - a milligram here and a microgram there. How much of the fluoride salts are retained in clothing, bedding, curtains, on floors after mopping and following the numerous other household activities where water is utilized? Some scientists may say that residuals are so negligible that the contamination is not worth considering. However, the potential for build-up of the submicroscopic salts is present and real. The more people that live in a household, the greater the potential for airborne fluoride pollution to build up. In a household with infants and young children, the accumulation of residual fluoride salts could be exponential from washing clothes alone. A home purchased in an area that has been fluoridated for twenty years could be an exposure chamber filled with highly toxic and bioavailable fluoride salts. These salts accumulate over the long-term and the build-up in the home over a period of five, ten, fifteen or twenty years could be considerable. As far as exposure to fluoride salts from inhalation are concerned, the potential for developing adverse health effects is far greater at much lower exposure levels. Once lung cells are killed, they can never be replaced. One microgram of inhaled fluoride salts has the capability of killing millions of lung cells. Inhaled fluoride salts have the potential of doubling physiological damage from other exposures. This is in addition to potential damage from any toxic partner it might be carrying when it enters the lungs. Inhalation is the most effective means of potentiating or synergizing the toxic effects of fluoride salts. Inhaled fluoride salts impact dramatically on the lungs and passageways leading to the lungs. Fluoride salts react very differently and more violently with moist tissues than do the diluted salts added to drinking water. The damage from direct application of salts is much more traumatic to delicate tissues; cells are destroyed and the components move on into the body, inflicting further damage (potentiated effects). The potential for submicroscopic fluoride salts to reach near-industrial levels in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and laundry room after five to ten years of drinking water fluoridation should not be overlooked. Many homes in communities fluoridated from the 1950s

-Caveat Lector- from: http://hermes.spaceports.com/~eddy4god/Fritz.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://hermes.spaceports.com/~eddy4god/Fritz.htm"Fritz Springmeier/A - Letter from the Springmeiers to David Icke Dear David Icke, My newlywed wife, Patty, and I recently had the privilege to once again join the ranks of those who are suffering to fight an evil system. At 9:15, on March 1, 2001, SWAT team storm troopers, ATF FBI agents did a military style assault on our peaceful beautiful rural home nestled in the spectacular beauty of the woods below Mt. Hood, OR. We had two .22 rifles, a shotgun, a pistol, and two functional but obvious hunting rifles (one being a 3 round SKS made for hunting, the other being a bolt action Mauser). The guns were all legal. The news made it sound like we had an arsenal to arm an army. The TV networks showed film from their files, which depict seized arsenals while simultaneously talking about us in the news. This clearly and flagrantly misrepresented what was seized. This silly lies convinced some viewers we were indeed terrorists. Some people have told us they were sharp enough to catch the subscript saying it was a 'file film'. Some were also sharp enough to realize if we were the dangerous terrorists that the news media portrayed us as, then why were we released on our own recognizance a few hours after going to jail? My wife and I were arrested after being handcuffed for six hours. We have not been formally charged with anything, but we had $1400 stolen in the raid, and all 4 of our computers were seized (which I use to write exposs of the system, Patty uses for web site design). Many other items were seized including articles and books about Judaism (obviously in an effort to prove we are neo-Nazis). The news media has tried to portray us as terrorists and neo-Nazis. Their stories were exceptionally biased, unfactual, and said nothing positive about who we are, or what we have done over the years. My wife and I have enjoyed the positive comments by local people who were not fooled by the establishment medias propaganda. They claim we were growing pot. We were not. They found evidence (a bud of marijuana) in one room that my wife and I know they planted. Even though we may hate the evil of this system, we need to continue to have compassion and pity on those who are not able to rise above compliant servitude to an evil system. They try to make us out to be terrorists, but who tried to terrorize my wife and I with a military style assault by firing stun grenades and destroying our front door to serve a search warrant? They want to portray us as stupid bigots, meanwhile they automatically profile us as neo-Nazis and anti-Semites because we fight the tyranny of the New World Order. Several days before the assault, a Fed agent posing as a reporter barged onto our property in an obnoxious way with a bouncer type friend he claimed was his bodyguard. He said that wed been fingered as militia leaders by someone the Feds arrested last year. He said I could give my side of things on this 'informants' accusations by going on a radio show. That radio show happens to be very politically correct and pro-New World Order while pretending to be investigative reporting. I answered, 'I have nothing to explain.' He also kept asking questions like, 'When did you buy this house?' and 'How much equity is in your house?' Strange questions for a reporter. Several days later, the motivation behind these questions became clear, when the Feds began interrogating my wife and I. The most important thing for these Feds during their interrogation of us was if there was equity in our house, so that they could legally loot (which is called 'forfeiture') our property. They dont want to pay the international bankers the value of a house they seize; they like one with equity. These vultures were salivating as they asked these questions. I could almost see dollar signs in their eyes. And this is what they were really desiring: to storm into someones house and loot their assets, which they get to keep. They took $1400 out of my wallet. Their case against us that we grew marijuana seems cut and dried; they 'found' some, and found equipment consistent with growing marijuana including plant food. It is clear they plan to isolate us, smear our reputations, seize our assets, and add us to their business of creating inmates for the prison industry. We look forward to hearing from those who have enjoyed my research and supported my work to expose Big Brothers agendas, corruption, and tyranny. We look forward to receiving your prayers and financial support. If you want to see a good movie showing how the system can take down a person watch 'Enemy of the State'. They take a grain of truth and distort it. For instance, John Quinn of Newshawk website is already rebroadcasting the systems baloney news stories about us. He quotes the news, which says we are 'white supremacists'. You would think

[CTRL] NM: Secret Service Records on Rich and Dozoretz called 'Very Murky'
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2001/3/5/182843 Monday Mar. 5, 2001; 7:27 p.m. EST Secret Service Records on Rich and Dozoretz called 'Very Murky' Secret Service records on White House visits by Denise Rich and Beth Dozoretz are so murky, the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee still isn't sure how many times the two women actually visited ex-President Clinton or his aides, committee spokesman Mark Corallo told NewsMax.com late Monday. "There is some questions over the accuracy of the Secret Service WAVES records. As a matter of fact, there's some very large questions over the accuracy of those records," Corallo said. In January, the New York Post reported that Mrs. Rich visited the Clintons 100 times. But last week, ABC News and the Associated Press reported that WAVES logs placed Rich at the White House "at least 13 times" in the last two years -- nowhere near the higher number. Dozoretz reportedly visited as many as 76 times, according to ABC News. But Corallo suggested those numbers were educated guesses at best. "According to the Secret Service, when large numbers of people are coming in for an event, for instance -- there's a list," Corallo said. "They enter the entire list in, which would explain a time in. They are then apparently supposed to scrub that against an accurate list at the end of the day, which, unfortunately, they sometimes did not do." On Jan. 19, President Clinton's last night in office, WAVES logs show both women entered the White House in the late afternoon. But the committee has been unable to find any record of when they left. Both Rich and Dozoretz have denied through intermediaries visiting the White House at all that night. On other occasions, WAVES records show Rich and/or Dozoretz leaving the White House, but no record of their arrival. "There could be more visits (than previously reported), there could be less visits," Corallo said. "These things just aren't that accurate, which is somewhat startling," he added. "The WAVES records are very murky. That's why we didn't release them." Despite the confusion, it may not be necessary to determine the precise number of White House visits by the two women for the committee to complete its investigation. "We have a pretty good idea when they were there," Corallo said. Three weeks ago House probers requested Secret Service WAVES logs and E-pass records for Denise Rich. E-passes are scannable cards issued to regular White House visitors. Those records are kept separately from WAVES records. Committee probers have found no record that either Rich or Dozoretz had an E-pass, Corallo said. Both Rich and Dozoretz have refused to testify, invoking their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Separately, committee lawyers have finally gotten their hands on the list of secret donors to Clinton's Presidential Library foundation. Clinton attorney David Kendall hand delivered the document on Monday and staff lawyers for both the majority and minority reviewed it. Committee Chairman Dan Burton (R-IN) intends to keep the identities of the donors confidential unless evidence emerges of any illegality. Neither Burton nor ranking committee Democrat Henry Waxman were present for the review, Corallo 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] WND: POTUS: 'Take Jack's word'
-Caveat Lector- World Net Daily-March 3, 2001 Prez: 'Take Jack's word' Despite arms-trading report, Clinton used Rich lawyer as final authority By Paul Sperry On inauguration eve, as it became clear that former President Bill Clinton was leaning toward pardoning fugitive financier Marc Rich -- an issue his staff had thought to be "dead" -- former White House Counsel Beth Nolan rushed a search of Rich through a Justice Department crime database. The department's National Crime Information Center reported back some disturbing news, which only confirmed Nolan's fears that granting Rich clemency was a bad idea. It turned out that Rich, who fled the U.S. in 1983 rather than face racketeering, tax-fraud and other criminal charges, was also under suspicion of illegal arms-trading. NCIC also clearly listed him as a "fugitive." Nolan, testifying before Congress Thursday night, said she gave the information to Clinton as further evidence he should deny Rich a pardon. But Clinton ignored the NCIC report and insisted Rich lawyer Jack Quinn -- who also served as Clinton's former White House counsel -- knew better. "Take Jack's word," Nolan said Clinton told her and other lawyers in a White House meeting. Quinn had argued in his pardon petition to the White House -- a copy of which Justice's pardon attorney Roger Adams didn't see until the last minute -- that his client was not technically a fugitive and not a security threat. Despite Justice's concerns about Rich's allegedly illegal arms-dealing, Clinton did not seek advice or additional information on Rich from U.S. intelligence agencies. Every lawyer at the heated meeting the night of Jan. 19 -- including Clinton's closest adviser Bruce Lindsey -- had reservations about the Rich pardon, except for perhaps one -- ex-White House lawyer Cheryl Mills. For reasons still not clear, she was invited to join in the pardon debate, even though she no longer worked for the government. In their testimony, Nolan and Lindsey said they weren't sure if Mills took a position on the Rich pardon, although e-mails reveal she was included in discussions on the matter as early as Jan. 5. Mills at the time was a director of the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation, the financial arm of his Little Rock, Ark., library -- to which Rich's ex-wife Denise Rich had donated $450,000. Here are other unreported highlights from the House Government Reform Committee hearing, which continued late into the evening Thursday: * Nolan says she also opposed Clinton's pardons of his former CIA Director John Deutch, accused of mishandling U.S. secrets; his former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, convicted of lying to the FBI; and his former Whitewater business partner Susan McDougal, convicted of fraud and contempt of court. * Lindsey testified that he had "no recollection" of talking to Clinton about his brother-in-law Hugh Rodham's lobbying efforts on behalf of convicted coke kingpin Carlos Vignali. Lindsey, a White House lawyer and Clinton's closest aide, talked to Rodham at least twice about commuting Vignali's sentence. Clinton has denied knowing about Rodham's role, specifically the $434,280 in fees he collected -- although the tabloid that broke the original story is reporting in its latest edition that Rodham, who lived in the White House residence in the last days of Clinton's term, gave a reprieve application directly to Clinton. * The ex-president did know, however, that his other brother-in-law -- Tony Rodham -- was lobbying for the pardons of two bank-fraud felons, Lindsey said. Lindsey said he was unaware at the time that Rodham had a business relationship with the couple. Clinton pardoned them last March over Justice's veto. * In a Dec. 26, 2000, e-mail from another Rich lawyer, New Yorker Bob Fink, to Quinn, Fink discussed their options for pressing Rich's pardon if White House lawyers tried to shoot it down. Those options included enlisting then-Senator-elect Hillary Rodham Clinton. "The only one that seems to have real potential for making a difference is the HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] option and even that has peril if not handled correctly," Fink wrote. He spoke of making the "necessary representation to HRC" and wondered "about the support this will get in NY." Hillary Clinton has emphatically denied any involvement or even any knowledge of the Rich pardon request at the time. * Lindsey, who headed up Clinton's scandal damage control efforts in the White House, is now a paid consultant to the Clinton library. Among his duties: Handling the ongoing e-mail reconstruction project involving hundreds of thousands of unarchived White House messages. He'll also OK requests for documents from the Clinton archives. * Nolan and former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta are now college professors teaching future lawyers the law and ethics. * Former Eagles singer Don Henley requested a commutation for a California gambler convicted of related crimes.

I've heard the ridiculous arguments by the uninformed wherein they opine that the "far right" in its extreme results in a nazi-like reign of terror. In fact, the direct opposite is true. The right wants MINIMAL government, not total government. The left LOVES government, feels that EVERY problem can be solved if only there were just ONE MORE government agency and program. They constantly vote for LARGER government and higher taxes to support it. The communists, the socialists, the fascists, the nazi's are all examples of the ultimate in government size and control -- total control - a totalitarian state. Law is abrogated, government is all powerful, suspends the civil law, imposes martial law. Individual "civil" rights disappear. This is the ultimate result of leftists achieving their goals. The right, the conservative, feels that government should be minimal, and keep out of the affairs of the people. They do not want a bureaucratic mob in Washington DC interfering with and directing every facet of their existence. Self reliance, not government "handouts", the Constitution, unintrusive civil law is the desire of the "right." The government can only "hand out" that which it first confiscates from the citizens, and in the process tacks on just a small fee as overhead for the cost of doing the transaction. Someone has to pay for all those government employees. Has it occurred to absolutely NO ONE that with all the "liberal", "progressive", government programs and "entitlements" that THIS COUNTRY HAS CHANGED DRASTICALLY IN THE LAST 50 YEARS ? Is there NO cause and effect ? How much longer are we going to keep implementing liberal, left-wing, government-intrusion experiments in an effort to "make things better?" THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE! Where did the Social Security "Fund" GO?? It's all SPENT. The president now tells me that, after all my years of paying in, there will either be greatly reduced benefits, or greatly increased "contributions" (taxes) on the part of those still working. Medicare is close to being unable to fulfill comittments. You can not pray or silently read the Bible in school, or at sports events. Public meetings cannot ask for God's help and guidance. Too controversial - it might offend someone. You CAN wear clothing in school which proclaims "gay pride." You CANNOT wear clothing in school which proclaims "straight pride." Now, WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? I guess it might OFFEND someone. EVERY TV sitcom now has gay main characters. Now, WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? Where is this coming from? Anyone remember how many high school shootings there were in the '50's and '60's ? Drive-by shootings? Local gang murders? The worst thing a kid ever snuck to school was a BEER. Nobody I knew ever locked their doors in those days - the question when the subject was broached was "Why would I want to lock my doors? Who would come in?" Anybody remember huge quantities of hard drugs? A really far out person might have the "hard stuff" - marijuana. No police agency ever found 50 lbs, 100 lbs, 2 TONS of cocaine on any bust. People didn't set up "meth labs." There was no such thing as a "carjacking", a police chase was virtually unknown, and police didn't have to be brutal -- a foot patrolman with a nightstick just had to say "move along" and it was done. My points are: 1. Yes folks, there is in fact a HUGE difference between left and right. 2. The liberal experiment has failed DISMALLY - we are LIVING with the proof. It is time to repudiate it immediately, and return to those values and procedures which brought this country to the forefront of the world in its first 175 years. 3. We are headed to hell in a handbasket at a high rate of speed, and simply continuing on with more of the same of implementing "liberal" ideas will simply increase the speed. May God help our sinking America. BB *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DRY ROT -- The Far Right Targets The Left By Will Offley

Building a Better Whatever by Michael Stroud 2:00 a.m. Mar. 5, 2001 PST STOCKHOLM, Sweden - In a nondescript office building in Stockholm, some of Sweden's best and brightest spend their time on projects like a game in which you move a ball with brain waves, and robots that mix drinks to match your moods. To researchers at the semi-private Interactive Institute, these aren't frivolous pursuits. They're part of a unique partnership between scientists, artists, computer programmers and others aimed at creating new paradigms for incorporating technology into daily life. people with wayyy to much brains on their hands --wired news http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,41928,00.html?tw=wn20010305 Bump on Over to KATCHUP for a Wholelottalinx on Current Events, Opinion, News, Views, Issues Other Fresh Cyber Condiments Offered Dailyhttp://www.geocities.com/mulva41/katchup.html Or Request Daily Katchup In Your Inboxhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/KatchupKATCHUP Is Your Instant Source of Cyber Condiment GratificationIt's So Easy, Just Stop By and Point, Click, KATCHUP Now!My Chat Addresses: ICQ: 103814927 Y!
