[CTRL] (Fwd) Morris Dees Fact Sheet
-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded message follows --- Morris Dees Fact Sheet While sitting in my doctor's waiting room, I was rummaging through the magazines, trying to kill time. You can always tell how successful your doctor is by the dates on the magazines [and whether the subscription labels have his name or it looks like he's been dumpster-diving.] My doctor, of course, had all the latest, and all in his own name. Amongst the heap of glossy paper was a copy of the Southern Poverty Law Center's curiously-named periodical Intelligence Report, Spring 2002 issue. I immediately opened it up and wouldn't you know...there were all my good friends. I was inspired by that viewing to make the following available to you...thanks to the good folks at Aw,Shucks!. --LG 'Til the Cash Comes Flowing Like a River... Full Name: Morris Seligman Dees, Jr. Born: 16 December, 1936 in Shorter, Macon County, Alabama Education: - Graduated from Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955 - Received B.A. J.D. Law degree [1960] from University of Alabama In an article titled Poverty Palace, Morris Dees told journalist John Edgerton that I had a traditional white Southerner's feeling for segregation. [The Progressive, July 1988 - Edgerton, John. Poverty Palace, How the SPLC Got Rich Fighting the Klan] Dees made a fortune selling cookbooks by mail in partnership with Millard Fuller [who later founded Habitat for Humanity.] [Fuller, Millard. Bokotola. New Century Press: 1977] Fuller has this to say about his 8 year association with Dees: Dees and Fuller formed the law firm of Dees Fuller in Montgomery, Alabama in1960. Morris Dees and I, from the first day of our partnership, shared one overriding purpose: to make a pile of money. We were not particular about how we did it; we just wanted to be independently rich. During the eight years we worked together we never wavered in that resolve. But everything has a price. And I paid for our success in several ways. One price I paid was estrangement from the church. Dees served in 1958 as state campaign manager for segregationist attorney general candidate McDonald Gallion and also worked for George C. Wallace. Fuller stated: We wanted to be sure of having friends in high places. In 1961 when Freedom Riders were beaten by a white mob at a Montgomery bus station, Dees [and Fuller] expressed openly his sympathies and support for what had happened at the bus station. When one of the men charged with beating the Freedom Riders came to their office for legal representation, Dees and Fuller took the case. The legal fee was paid by the Ku Klux Klan and the White Citizen's Council. [Fuller, Millard. Love in the Mortar Joints. New Century Press: 1980 and The Progressive, July 1988] Dees founded the Southern Poverty Law Center in 1971 with Joseph Levin [who left the SPLC in 1976] and Julian Bond [resigned late 1970's.] [Articles of Incorporation. Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc.] Acted as Chief fundraiser for George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign in return for the campaign's mailing list. Raised $20 million for McGovern. [Burlington Times, July 30, 1975. The Progressive, July 1988.] Arrested and removed from court in 1975 for attempting to suborn perjury [bribing a witness] in the Joan Little murder trial in North Carolina. Little, a black convict, was accused of killing a prison guard with an ice-pick . The felony charge against Dees was subsequently dropped, but the presiding judge, Hamilton Hobgood, refused to re-admit Dees to the case. The refusal was upheld on appeal after the Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear Dees appeal. [Ibid.] The great untold story of the JoAnn Little trial was the role of the Communist Party, through its National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, in controlling the entire political movement surrounding the case. Angela Davis, a leading figure in both organizations became the most frequently quoted movement figure and constant companion of JoAnn Little... Party members were visible and influential on the defense committee, and the party frequently set up rallies of support around the country. [Columbia Journalism Review. Pirsky, Mark. March/April, 1976.] Fund-raised for Jimmy Carter in 1976 hoping to be named Attorney-General, but was unenthused by the campaign for its middle of the road appeal You've got to have a candidate who is way out on the extremes! [The Progressive, July 1988.] Acted as a fundraiser for both Ted Kennedy's 1980 and Gary Hart's 1984 presidential campaigns and received their mailing lists as reward. [Ibid.] Perhaps explaining the SPLC's 'Gay' rights activism, Dees was cited in 1979 by his ex-wife with a homosexual encounter during their marriage. She also cited numerous affairs with women including his
[CTRL] NYTimes.com Article: Verizon Ordered to Give Identity of Net Subscriber
-Caveat Lector- This article from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] Verizon Ordered to Give Identity of Net Subscriber January 22, 2003 By AMY HARMON Smoothing the way for the entertainment industry to pursue people who trade music and movies online, a federal judge ordered Verizon Communications yesterday to give a record industry trade group the identity of an Internet subscriber suspected of making available unauthorized copies of several hundred songs. In the closely watched case, the Recording Industry Association of America argued that it had the right to invoke a legal shortcut compelling Internet service providers to turn over subscriber information without requiring a copyright holder to file a lawsuit. Verizon argued that the shortcut was meant to apply to only a narrow set of circumstances and that its broad use would violate its subscribers' privacy and due process rights. The company had refused to comply with a subpoena. But Judge John D. Bates of the Federal District Court in Washington wrote that Verizon's position would create a huge loophole in Congress's effort to prevent copyright infringement on the Internet. Verizon said it would appeal the ruling. The record industry, which holds online piracy responsible for much of the precipitous decline in CD sales in recent years, has so far largely limited its lawsuits to companies it sees as aiding large-scale copyright infringement, like Napster and KaZaA. But lately industry officials have signaled that they are preparing to pursue some of the millions of people who infringe copyrights using the Internet. Judge Bates's ruling may play a pivotal role in allowing the industry to do that, legal experts said yesterday. The court's decision has troubling ramifications for consumers, service providers and the growth of the Internet, said Sara Deutsch, vice president and associate general counsel for Verizon. It opens the door for anyone who makes a mere allegation of copyright infringement to gain complete access to private subscriber information without the due process protections afforded by the courts. Until now, the entertainment industry has largely used the fast-track subpoena process to request information on people who post copyrighted material on individual Web sites that reside on computers owned by an Internet service provider. This time, however, the recording industry group asked for information on someone who was distributing material from a personal computer using the popular file-trading program KaZaA, rather than a central server. The record industry association estimates that about 2.6 billion files are illegally downloaded each month by users of such programs. The file-trading programs have become the preferred way to obtain music - and, increasingly, video files - in part because they provide a high degree of anonymity to people distributing the material. Anyone who can connect to the Internet from home can place files in a shared folder, and simply by running one of the sharing programs make material available to millions of users who search for it. Judge Bates's ruling, the recording industry said, would prevent people from shielding themselves with this type of software. We appreciate the court's decision, which validates our interpretation of the law, Cary Sherman, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, said in a statement. The illegal distribution of music on the Internet is a serious issue for musicians, songwriters and other copyright owners. The 1998 law, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, provided copyright holders the ability to circumvent the normal judicial process in pursuing violators. But it also gave Internet service providers immunity from liability for copyright infringement on their networks in exchange for their cooperation in immediately removing infringing material once they were notified and in turning over subscriber information. Verizon argues that the bargain was not intended to get service providers to police subscribers who used their own computers to perform illegal acts. Some legal experts said the ruling could allow copyright holders to privately threaten people who might have a defense but lack the resources to fight the entertainment industry. I'm concerned about the number of enforcement actions that don't ever get to court, said Jessica Litman, author of Digital Copyright (Prometheus, 2001) and a law professor at Wayne State University. It's one thing to say I want this person's identity so I can file suit. It's another thing to say I want this person's identity so I can interfere with their connectivity to the Internet. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/22/technology/22MUSI.html?ex=1044245065ei=1en=c2887f0e9b6deab6 HOW TO ADVERTISE - For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact [EMAIL

[CTRL] GOLD WARRIORS
-Caveat Lector- http://www.bowstring.net/gold_warriors.htm GOLD WARRIORS See Author's Note From the back cover: BLACK GOLD In 1945, American Intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold, but to keep its recovery secret. The treasure -- gold, platinum, barrels of diamonds and gemstones plundered by Japan from all of East and Southeast Asia -- would be combined with Nazi loot recovered in Europe to create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. This 'Black Gold' gave Washington virtually limitless unvouchered funds for covert operations. According to CIA officials, between 1945 and 1947 the gold bullion was secretly moved to 176 accounts at banks in 42 countries. This provided an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America's allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries. Other treasure was recovered inside Japan during the U.S. Occupation. General MacArthur, President Truman, John Foster Dulles, and a handful of others, knew all about the hidden plunder. Every president since Harry Truman has been involved in covering up the existence of these secret funds. Gold Warriors traces more than half a century of secret collaboration between Washington and Tokyo, between the CIA and the underworld in Japan and other countries. The cloak of 'national security' created a situation ripe for abuse and corruption. The authors reveal how former CIA and Pentagon officials, and rogue entrepreneurs, use these secret funds to set up private intelligence and security operations to meddle in American foreign policy -- without Congressional oversight, or the knowledge of the American people. Drawing on thousands of pages of original documents and thousands of hours of interviews, the Seagraves expose one of the great state secrets of the 20th Century. = GOLD WARRIORS: Authors' Note SLAYING THE MESSENGER Many people told us this book was historically important and must be published - then warned us that if it were published, we would be murdered. An Australian economist who read it said, I hope they let you live. He did not have to explain who 'they' were. Japan's looting of Asia, and the hiding of this war-gold in American banks, is closely linked to the issue of Holocaust gold hidden in Swiss banks. Revealing the secrets of either is a dangerous business. Jean Ziegler, a Swiss professor and parliamentarian, did much to expose five decades of official amnesia in his book The Swiss, the Gold and the Dead. After publishing it and testifying in 1998 before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee about Jewish assets in Swiss banks, he was charged with 'treason' by Swiss Federal Prosecutor Carla del Ponte. The charge was brought by twenty-one financiers, commercial lawyers, and politicians of the far right, many of them major stockholders in large Swiss banks. They accused Ziegler of being an accomplice of Jewish organizations who 'extorted' vast sums of money from Switzerland. Ziegler is only one of many who have been persecuted for putting ethics before greed. Christophe Meili, a Union Banque Suisse (UBS) security guard, was threatened with murder and the kidnapping of his wife and children after he testified before a U.S. Senate committee about documents he rescued from UBS shredders. He and his family were given asylum in America. We have been threatened with murder before. When we published The Soong Dynasty we were warned by a senior CIA official that a hit team was being assembled in Taiwan to come murder us. He said, I would take this very seriously, if I were you. We vanished for a year to an island off the coast of British Columbia. While we were gone, a Taiwan hit team arrived in San Francisco and shot dead the Chinese-American journalist Henry Liu. When we published The Marcos Dynasty we expected trouble from the Marcos family and its cronies, but instead we were harassed by Washington. Others had investigated Marcos, but we were the first to show how the U.S. Government was secretly involved with Marcos gold deals. We came under attack from the U.S. Treasury Department and its Internal Revenue Service, whose agents made threatening midnight phone calls to our elderly parents. Arriving in New York for an author tour, one of us was intercepted at JFK airport, passport seized, and held incommunicado for three hours. Eventually the passport was returned, without a word of explanation. When we ran Freedom of Information queries to see what was behind it, we were grudgingly sent a copy of a telex message on which every word was blacked out, including the date. The justification given for this censorship was the need to protect government sources, which are above the law. During one harassing phone call from a U.S. Treasury agent, he said he was sitting in his office watching an

The Time for Talking Is Over The Time for Talking Is Over We must oppose this war as we have never opposed one before By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 7th January 2003 The rest of Europe must be wondering whether Britain has gone into hibernation. At the end of this month our Prime Minister is likely to announce the decision he made months ago, that Britain will follow the US into Iraq. If so, then two or three weeks later, the war will begin. Unless the UN inspectors find something before January 27, this will be a war without even the flimsiest of pretexts: an unprovoked attack whose purpose is to enhance the wealth and power of an American kleptocracy. Far from promoting peace, it could be the first in a series of imperial wars. The gravest global crisis since the end of the Cold War is three weeks away, and most of us seem to be asking why someone else doesn't do something about it. It is not often that the people of these islands have an opportunity to change the course of world events. Bush knows that the Americans' approval of his war depends, in part, upon its credibility overseas: opinion polls have shown that many of those who would support an international attack would withdraw that support if they perceived that the US was acting alone. An international attack, in this case, means an attack supported by Britain. If Blair pulled out, Bush could be forced to think again. Blair will pull out only if he perceives that the political cost of sticking with Bush is greater than the cost of deserting him. Bush's war, in other words, depends upon our indifference. As Gramsci remarked, what comes to pass does so not so much because a few people want it to happen, as because the mass of citizens abdicate their responsibility and let things be. There are several reasons why most British people do not seem prepared to act. New military technology has removed the need for a draft, so the otherwise unengaged young men who might have become the core of the resistance movement are left to blast imaginary enemies on their Gameboys. The economy is still growing, so underlying resentment towards the government is muted; yet we perceive our jobs and prospects to be insecure, so we are reluctant to expose ourselves to trouble. It also seems that many people who might have contested this war simply can't believe it's happening. If, paradoxically, we were facing a real threat from a real enemy, the debate would have seemed more urgent. But if Blair had told us that we had to go to war to stop Saruman of Isengard from sending his orcs against the good people of Rohan, it would scarcely seem less plausible than the threat of Saddam of Iraq dropping bombs on America. These factors may explain our feebleness. They don't excuse it. It is true that our chances of stopping this war are slight: both men appear determined to proceed, with or without evidence or cause. But to imagine that protest is useless if it doesn't lead to an immediate cessation is to misunderstand its purpose and power. Even if we cannot stop the attack upon Iraq, we must ensure that it becomes so politically costly that there will never be another like it. And this means that the usual demos will no longer suffice. There have, so far, been many well-organised and determined protests, and several more are

See: http://www.narconews.com/narcodollars1.html We can provide a venue on the NYT, on TV or radio, the choice belongs to Rohatyn. Please act as Rohatyn's second and provide him with a copy of this challenge. Ms. Fitts is the President of Solari, Inc. She is a former member of the Board of Directors and partner of Dillon Read Company, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing in the Bush Administration, and President of The Hamilton Securities Group and is a member of the Advisory Board of Sanders Research Associates in London. I am serving as her second in this challenge. Following is a direct quote from her in this regard: I hereby propose that you and the NY Times Drug Policy Forum deliver to Bob Herbert of the NY Times and Felix Rohatyn my invitation to discuss and debate on line, on radio or TV live (their choice) the merits of more federal subsidy for states vs the Solari model (including a cessation of the War on Drugs) with Chris Sanders of Sanders Research and myself. The debate goes to the heart of the economic issues that must be illuminated and resolved if we are to stop the War on Drugs (see the Red Button story in Narco Dollars for Dummies) Here is my response to Herbert's editorial regarding Rohatyn's latest economic proposals: Catherine Austin Fitts The Real Deal Felix Rohatyn's Financial Holocaust A Response to the NY Times Bob Herbert's An Appeal to Uncle SamJanuary 16, 2003 http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0301/S00080.htm Ms. Fitts includes many items worthy of discussion in this regard. Here is an extract from the link shown above: Rather than spending more of our tax dollars, why does Felix not mention all the things that we can stop doing that save us money. We could stop money laundering, we could stop financial fraud, we could stop government corruption, we could stop corporate takeover of government functions, we could apply our anti trust laws to corporate crime against small businesses and our pension funds, we could stop dumping narcotics into our neighborhoods and schools. Felix does not mention what we can stop doing because he is looking to finance these things and more central control with more of our money. Felix's federal spigot keeps the holocaust game going --- It's like W.C. Fields selling snake oil potion by carrying a snake with him. The game financed the merger and acquisition boom that built Felix's fame and fortune as a partner at Lazard ( http://www.lazard.com/) and Felix wants the merry-go-round to keep going. Felix was great at keeping the game going in his workout of New York's financial crisis. If you look at his last statement quoted in Herbert's NY Times editorial --- There's a real risk here to the New York State credit rating, said Mr. Rohatyn --- the threat is the same. Swallow more federal handouts or we will not refinance your debt. This is the currency - debt - drugs triad threat of the New World Order gracefully

Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2002 09:51:37 -0800 Organization: B40 Declan, It appears to me that the response of our elected representatives to the flood of public input generated via email, is to simply eliminate email as a means of contacting them. The typical tactic is to require folks to visit the website of the politician in question, and fill out a form there to email them. If you buy the figures cited by this guy (http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/), 391 out of the 530 representatives with email require you do this (I want to know what dinosaur representatives don't do email in any form whatsoever). After receiving the email below, I called the Washington office of Senator Boxer (CA), and confirmed my impression that my email had just gone to the bit-bucket. We don't have an email any more, it has been turned off, it is not that we don't read it, we don't get it. ... not quite true, given that they have an auto-responder attached, but probably true in effect. Note that her contact page also doesn't explicitly include an address to send letters via USPS... http://boxer.senate.gov/contact/ ... I wonder how many of the representatives and senators who told their constituents that due to the Anthrax scare, postal mail would not be read, or would be delayed for long periods, haven't bothered to tell them they are now welcoming postal mail again. Note that not one single email address is posted anywhere on her site, for staff, or anyone else. I'm certain that insiders have the email addresses of staff, and can probably even (how high tech) send emails with attachments. It seems to me that this only furthers the imbalance between the general public and those in the know with regards to our ability to exercise our constitutional petition our representatives for redress of grievances, etc. Have you seen any media coverage of this phenomenon, have any of our orgs like EFF, etc. taken any position on this fundamental abrogation of responsibility by our representatives - why is it that the only people who have the option of dealing with the spam problem by turning off their email are our elected representatives?!? Everyone else, you and I and businesses across the world, have come up with solutions to make the situation tolerable.

The only significance that I can see a possibility is the use of the numbers 22 and 11 as code words to identify the operation of the Satanists. If you will recall the insignia of the Storm Troopers, the SS if converted into 22 is quite similar to the insignia zz which would be two lightening bolts side by side. The 11 would be a variation of the lightening bolt only the zz is straightened out and the 11 would appear. I have seen on tatoos the 11 tilted to the left at a slant together. I don't know if my thoughts on this matter are helpful, however these are my thoughts regarding your inquiry. Just as the Christians communicated in symbols using the fish often so too do the Satanists use code to identify thenselves using code and symbols.

The founders of both faiths, the Mormons and JW's were of the Illuminati bloodline. Charles Taze Russell, who founded the Watchtower Society (JW's), was of the Illuminati Russell bloodline, which also founded the infamous Skull and Bones Society at Yale University. Charles Taze Russell was a Satanist, a pedophile according to his wife, and a friend of the Rothschild's. Indeed it was the Rothschild's who funded the Jehovah's Witness operation into being, along with other Illuminati bankers, through contributions by organizations like the Rothschild-controlled B'nai B'rith. One of the key people involved in this was Frank Goldman who later became President of B'nai B'rith. Why would an organization set up (in theory) to help Jewish people and promote the Jewish faith, be funding into existence the Jehovah's Witnesses? I think the name Rothschild answers the question. Russell was also a high degree Freemason and Knights Templar. He promoted Zionism, another Rothschild creation (see Was Hitler a Rothschild), on behalf of his friends and backers. http://www.666lucifer.bravepages.com/dirty_watchtower_secrets_pt2.htm The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society: a member of the United Nations for 10 years! http://www.paulblizard.com/wtun.html Please let us stay on topic and be civil.

Freemasons, were those Masons who were released from the menial work of carving stone and assigned the human engineering task of creating a New World Order; on behalf of the Mandan Troglodytes, the world's original priesthood (men who dress as women). These freed Masons (now called Caucasians) exited the caves at about 12,000 B.C., on either side of Mt. Ararat; north in Iberia (Georgia-Russia) and south at Lake Van (Armenia-Turkey). For the sake of brevity let us say that they were divided into three main groups -- the largest of which is called the Hittites. The other two were Horites and Ishmailites. To create Order out of Chaos all three were first instructed to act in a way as would enemies (armies from Armenia), by fighting with each other. Later, once the plan for The End Times was set in stone (about 6,000 B.C.) they were brought together into a common religion, or confederacy, which we now know as Zoroastrian (Zarathustrian, in Greek) Freemasonry, of Persia. Secretly, the now united Confederacy set out to populate the planet with aboriginals, Horites (Phoenician/Sea Peoples) dropped them off at diverse locations around the world. These original peoples were then given common stories (myths) by which they could be identified through their etymology at a later date, ie: Jack-in-the-beanstalk, Cinderella, Snow White etc.. Hittite origin is documented in the long genealogical record of the Bible's book of Chronicles (it is their current Open Source Coding referrence manual); a mine of historic treasure. The list is but partially concealed. It contains all the great Hittite names of the ancient world, from 4004 B.C. to the birth of Jaques, who is the symbolic leader of western Freemasonry. The letters JA in Jaques, clearly state that they are QUES (cues or clues). The letter J being a stand-in, or replacement, for the letters U or Y and U being plan 11 for the '-' 2 in 1. Hittites constitute the substratum of all historical civilizations. The Turanian (Turkistan) element that came into prominence in the days of the EgyPTian Hycsos (Shepherd Kings were Hittites) that underlay the culture of the empires on the Tigris and Euphrates, that preceded Israel's occupancy of Palestine, that filled Syria and Asia Minor, that gave Greece her mythology and sacred rites, and, overflowing into Illyria (Austria), Italy, Spain and Britain, bore the Iberic and Pictish name (ie: pictograms), now only recognizable in the BasQUES (BA are also clues) of the Pyrenees; that element on which the Persian Cyrus built his first Aryan empire, and which, volcano-like, broke forth in Parthian (Iranian) days, that preceded the Brahman (it means 2 in 1) of northern India, that in early days of Christian centuries, traversed Turkistan and peopled the Siberian wastes, that for two centuries turned China into Cathay, and that still occupies Korea and the islands of Japan; that Turanian (2nd Iran ...Rain) element driven by adverse fortune, crossed the Northern Pacific into the New World, that reproduced the mounds of European Scythia (Ukraine), of Syria and the Caucasus, of India and Siberia, on the level prairies and the alluvium of rivers from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, that founded the empires of Mexico and Peru, and that today lives on in many an Indian tribe from the frozen north, to the southern land of fire, IS THE HITTITE.

[CTRL] PRESIDENT REASSURES U.S.
-Caveat Lector- http://www.cafeshops.com/cp/store.aspx?s=thewhitehouse.32802 http://www.whitehouse.org/news/2003/012103.asp PRESIDENT REASSURES U.S.: OUR RIGHTEOUS SLAUGHTER OF IRAQI BABIES SHALL NOT BE THWARTED BY FRAIDY CAT EURO-FAGGOTS! Statement by the President THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Please be seated. This is going to be quick I want to get back to that freshly- cracked box of Slim-Jims in the war room. This morning, I looked on in utter disgust as FOX NEWS reported that a majority of Americans have traitorously informed pollsters that not only do they doubt my ability to handle America's foreigner policy with alien nations, but that they also think I'm moving too fast to send legions of the expendable darkies in our military to die gruesomely while exacting my completely non-personal vengeance on Saddam Hussein. Of course, I knew immediately that something was terribly wrong. Real Americans would never allow themselves to forget that I became twice as intelligent and competent the moment planes started slamming into buildings on 9/11/2001. They would never forget how I was instantly transformed from a non-elected colossal joke into a throbbing pillar of Presidential talent incapable of making mistakes. No, they would never do any of these things... unless some external force was influencing them and turning them against me. Confident in that knowledge, I was hardly surprised to learn several hours later that both Germany and France have grown increasingly vocal in their cowardly opposition to my oil-fueled megalomaniacal whims of daddy's-boy fancy. Yes, unlike the snaggletoothed limeys who do whatever the hell I say, Germany and France seem intent on attempting to flex whatever passes for muscle on those scrawny, pathetic arms of theirs. Yes, if you can believe it, they actually want me to DELAY giving my approval ratings a fat boost by turning a bunch of worthless Arabiacs into Allah-flavored Pop-Tarts. Hell, everything these people do is like a rerun of one of their goddamned queer art movies, and I'm not interested in watching it - especially not the same week Disney's got Flipper in heavy rotation. And that's why today, I am here to assure to all citizens of the United States that no matter what, our righteous slaughter of innocent Iraqi women and babies will NOT be thwarted by a gaggle of fraidy cat Euro- faggots from Germany and France. No sir, we will not fear them - and not just because we can't understand that stupid gibberish of theirs they insist on talking instead of regular English. No, we will not fear them because they are pussy has-been countries, that even together couldn't hog-tie a longhorn in half the time I could solo - even with one nut tied behind my ass cheek. In closing, I hereby command all Americans who both love their country and hate Germany and France to PROVE IT by purchasing and proudly wearing all manner of fine Europe is for HOMOS gear from the official WHITEHOUSE.ORG gift boutique. By demonstrating our solidarity thusly, it will make our victory over the smoldering ruins of yet another impoverished desert armpit of a Middle Eastern country that much more glorious! And then we shall revel in our collective magnificence, and vote together overwhelmingly to re-elect yours truly for another four years of gutting the environment, stocking the courts with anti-civil-liberties right-wingers, and lining the pockets of my billionaire cronies! (Applause.) Thank you.

[CTRL] TARGET: SCOTT RITTER - THE WAR PARTY GETS UGLY
-Caveat Lector- http://etherzone.com/2003/raim012203.shtml TARGET: SCOTT RITTER THE WAR PARTY GETS UGLY By: Justin Raimondo Published in the January 22, 2003 issue of Ether Zone. Scott Ritter, the former UN weapons inspector who quit in 1998 and now says the U.S. is intent on manufacturing phony evidence of arms violations as a pretext for war, is the victim of what may be the sleaziest set-up job in recent history, a smearing so foul that it makes the Clinton crowd look like a bunch of amateurs. The news that he may have been arrested, in June 2001, as the result of an internet sex sting, in which an undercover cop posing as a sixteen-year-old girl lured him into sex chat over the internet, came to light in a very strange way. A local newspaper, the Daily Gazette, of Schenectady, New York, was first to pick up the dirt, which apparently came to light when an assistant district attorney was fired for settling the case and not informing the D.A. According to the Gazette: Police and prosecutors have declined to discuss the case, which involved at least one class B misdemeanor, because it was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal and ordered sealed by a Colonie Town Court justice. The Daily Gazette's request for access to the arrest report was denied by the Colonie town attorney's office, which ruled disclosure was barred under the state Freedom of Information Law. So the police just happened to conduct a sex sting operation against the one man who had exposed the lies of our war-mad rulers from the inside. On the eve of war, as hundreds of thousands protest in the streets, this staunch Republican and solid family man who has become one of the War Party's most formidable enemies is suddenly exposed as a child molester. Since the court records have been sealed, and the case was merely adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, the authorities will say nothing, at least in public. The entrapment was apparently so transparent, so obviously the clumsiest sort of Cointelpro-style operation badly bungled by our newly-empowered political police, that the charges were dropped to the legal equivalent of a traffic ticket. Could it be that the records were sealed not to protect Ritter, but to protect whomever tried to set him up? Anybody who doesn't believe that Ritter was specifically targeted on account of his political activities needs to seek help: that sort of naivete can be terminal, and the patient probably shouldn't be trusted to cross the street unattended. In the post-9/11 era of the Patriot Act and the Office of Total Information Awareness, what is happening to Ritter is meant as a warning to anyone who dares oppose this government. Former UN inspectors, it seems, are a special target. Remember that other inspector, Jack McGeorge, also an American, who was outed as being a member of a sado-masochistic advocacy organization? Just as our war birds were wailing in bitter disappointment that the inspections process would delay or maybe even derail themuch anticipated bloodbath, suddenly one of the inspectors is exposed as a sadomasochist. The point was not to somehow prove that this made him unfit for the job, but simply to degrade him, to make the experience so painful that he would immediately withdraw which is precisely what happened. There's nothing at all fishy about a sealed court record leaked to reporters, complete with an alleged mug shot of Ritter broadcast on television and republished by MSNBC. It's all a coincidence that this comes out just as the war crisis reaches its climax or anti-climax and the administration is desperate to come up with a half-way convincing rationale for war. What are you a conspiracy theorist? Everybody knows the U.S. government is inherently and constitutionally incapable of pulling off such a dirty rotten lowdown trick. After all, isn't that why they hate us because we're so wonderfully free? Free to be spied on; free to be set-up and smeared if we defy the powers-that-be; free to be entrapped by cyber-cops who randomly chose the single most convincing opponent of the War Party to snare in a web of deception. The reaction to this is really a sight to behold. The same conservative movement that reveled and rolled around in the muck of the Clinton years like a pig in a deluxe pen, luxuriating in the filth that bubbled up like a perpetual hot bath, is all abuzz. With all the defiant malignity of Lucianne Goldberg and her son, what's-his-name, rolling the latest Clintonian dirtball around on their tongues as if it were the last bon bon in the box, they are drooling over this one. (Look at bottom-feeder Jonah Goldberg lap it up.) It's sickening, really, to even contemplate what is going on here, but we should look at this ugliness full in the face. Because in forcing ourselves to see it, we can see the War Party the gang of lying, thieving, conniving thugs with delusions of grandeur who dominate this administration in its essence. Look on the face of

[CTRL] Selling A War
-Caveat Lector- http://www.itszone.co.uk/zone0/viewtopic.php?t=2577 Selling A War In five weeks it is likely that United States soldiers will be fighting and dying in Iraq. While there is no doubt that we can defeat Sadam Hussein there is much debate on whether we should go to war and what will be the ultimate costs to Iraq and the United States. Americans want to believe that our government officials tell the truth and donât intentionally mislead us. Other governments manipulate the truth not ours. It is hard for Americans to accept that at times we are lied to or intentionally misled in order to build support for a foreign policy decision. While this may be disturbing it is our duty as citizens in a democracy to be open to this reality. We are the strongest military in the world and ultimately decide which governments will fall or stand. Gulf War I If you followed the first Gulf War you remember the infamous story of how Iraqi soldiers removed babies from incubators in Kuwait city; left them to die and shipped the incubators back to Iraq. This was front page news in every newspaper in the U.S. and the lead story on every major news station as the public was deciding whether to support going to war. This story was repeated by President Bush senior in a number of speeches saying that such "ghastly atrocities," were like "Hitler revisited." There is only one problem with this story. It never happened! It was a complete fabrication! Months after the war ended TV Guide reported in Feb., 1992 that both 20/20 and Sixty Minutes interviewed doctors in Kuwait and determined no such incident ever happened. Another example from the first Gulf war, according to an article in the Christian Science Monitor was a report by Pentagon officials, citing top-secret satellite images. Pentagon officials estimated that up to 250,000 Iraqi troops and 1,500 tanks stood on the border of Saudi Arabia, threatening the major supplier of oil for the US. The St. Petersburg Times in Florida acquired two commercial Soviet satellite images of the same area, taken at the same time which showed no Iraqi troops visible near the Saudi border - just empty desert. Jean Heller, the Times Journalist who broke the story asked Secretary of Defense Cheney (now Vice President) for evidence refuting the Times photos, offering to hold the story if proven wrong. The official response: "Trust Us." To this day the photos cited by Pentagon officials remain classified. Hill Knowlton When the invasion of Kuwait took place in August, 1990 US public opinion was not predisposed to the government of Kuwait. Only a few weeks before Amnesty International accused the government of Kuwait of jailing dozens of dissidents and torturing them without trial. To help build support for the war "Citizens for a Free Kuwait," which was the Kuwait government in exile, hired the Washington based public relations of Hill and Knowlton for $10.7 million to devise a campaign to win support for the war. The CEO of H K at the time, Craig Fuller, had access to the power elite in Washington, as he had served as the Presidentâs chief of staff when Bush was Vice President under President Reagan. One aspect of their campaign was to coach a young woman Nayirah, who appeared Oct. 10, 1990 in front of a Congressional committee. She testified to the committee that she saw Iraqi soldiers come into a hospital, remove babies from incubators and leave them "on the cold floor to die." It later came out long after the war was over that she was the daughter of Kuwaitâs ambassador to the United States and hadnât actually seen the incident she described taking place - an incident which was later proven to be a fabrication. Hill Knowlton also coached a team of witnesses who appeared a few weeks later at the United Nations about atrocities in Iraq. Gulf War II In a September 7, 2002 news conference President Bush said that Iraq in 1998 was "six months away" from developing a nuclear weapon citing a report from The International Atomic Energy Agency. On Friday, Sept. 27, in a news interview Mark Gwozdecky, the IAEAâs chief spokesman said, "Thereâs never been a report like that issued from this agency." When questioned, the White House said the President was referring to a 1991 IAEA report. Mr. Gwozdecky said no such report was ever issued by IAEA in 1991. "I donât know where they have determined that Iraq has retained this much weaponization capability because when we left in December 1998 we had concluded that we had neutralized their nuclear-weapons program. We had confiscated their fissile material. We had destroyed all their key buildings and equipment," he said. Civic Responsibility It would be cynical to believe that every statement by our government leaders is a lie or distortion. It would be just as foolish however, to blindly accept every statement our government leaders make. As citizens of the worldâs most powerful

The lies and moral turpitude or high crimes and misdemeanours of President Clinton pale by comparison and had to do with a matter of far less national importance; yet they subjected him to judicial inquiry and almost got him impeached and removed from office. Bush lies would have us believe Iraq has an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction: EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. None has been found yet although the UN inspectors can go wherever they want in a country of only about 400 miles x 400 miles. Also, if they had these weapons would they invite the CIA to inspect? I wonder if the Democrats could make that come about? A few thousand special CIA agents combing such a small country would discover the truth very fast; a truth which could lead to the impeachment of Bush whose lying seems to be of psychopathic proportions. Those CIA inspectors would cost far less than the huge army in the Gulf and they would likely avert a bloody and unnecessary war. But then pushing lies on the American people and people of the world is what Bush is doing for the purpose of having a bloody and unnecessary war.

George W. Bush is known as a straight shooter. What's wrong with that picture? Bush has, after all, racked up more frequent liar miles than any other politician in recent memory. Not familiar with frequent liar miles? I coined the expression to pay tribute to the staying power of Bush's lies. After all, a lie is of no use to the teller if it is promptly branded a lie and the teller a liar. Not only does he not benefit from the lie, his now-tarnished image makes it more difficult to get anyone to believe subsequent lies. Call it the Saddam Syndrome: A guy gets caught in a few lies and before you know it nothing he says is taken at face value. All the good will is gone, as if Saddam never shook hands with Donald Rumsfeld or made common cause with Ronald Reagan against evil Iran. These days, reporters shout Show me the weapons! and pundits deride him as Mr. Cheat and Retreat. Our news media - without the imprimatur of a formal U.N. resolution - have even erected a no lie zone over Iraq and shoot down Hussein's howlers before they can infect international audiences. In stunning contrast, Bush's lies are broadcast as truth. They originate at the White House and are transmitted to network amplification centers in New York and Washington, at which point the lie leaves the president's control. He then must rely on men named Brokaw, Jennings, Rather and Lehrer to treat the presidential lie with respect and deliver it to every nook and cranny in America via the people's airwaves. The longer and farther the lie flies, the more frequent liar miles the president accumulates. The strategy of lie and rely entails considerable risks. What if the media Bush is relying on to disseminate his lies chooses instead to shoot them down? A president is doomed if his every pronouncement is greeted with groans and guffaws. That's why it's wise to lie only when the truth won't suffice AND the stakes are high - to win an election, to avoid the taint of scandal-plagued cronies, to sell a war the public is disinclined to buy. Throughout Campaign 2000, candidate Bush test-piloted lie and rely. He lied to a Dallas Morning News reporter to keep hidden a drunk-driving conviction. He lied repeatedly to the national media about his own and Al Gore's economic plans. Did so in speeches and again in the debates. The lies traveled far and wide. Amazingly, they remained airborne even after repeated puncturing by New York Times columnist and Princeton economist Paul Krugman. From that experience, Bush learned an invaluable lesson: So long as the airwaves remain loyal, lie and rely can override isolated, ink-based exposure. As president, a confident Bush lied after the Enron scandal erupted about how long and how well he knew the man he now referred to as Mr. Lay - though it was Kenny Boy back in the day. A quick study, Bush showed he had mastered what I call the fact-based lie(speaking words that are technically true, knowing full well they paint a false or misleading
[CTRL] Field Manual 3-19.40 Plans for Civilian Internment: Stalag 17 American Style
-Caveat Lector- http://www.prisonplanet.com/ Field Manual 3-19.40 Plans for Civilian Internment: Stalag 17 American Style By Mary Louise Along the Danube River in Austria about forty miles from Vienna, a prison camp called Stalag 17 was one of many prisoner of war facilities during WWII, containing wooden barracks surrounded by double fences of barbed wire and guard towers. The 1953 Billy Wilder film "Stalag 17" is a close reproduction of the actual facilities, although the actors were obviously not as hungry, dirty, and overcrowded as the real prisoners were. Similar facilities exist in America, many in remote areas across our country adjacent to major highways, railroads, and airports. The infrastructure for incarcerating and executing resisters and dissenters in the coming American Holocaust has been already set up, according to the 1968 government plans code-named Operation Cable Splicer and Garden Plot (FM 19-15), sub programs of the Rex 84 Program. Field Manual 3-19.40 or FM 19-40 is the August 2001 version of Military Police Internment/Resettlement Operations. This publication supersedes the FM 19-40 of February 1976 and FM 19-60 of May 1986 by order of the Secretary of the Army signed by administrative assistant, Joel B. Hudson. Pending the approval of the Army Chief of Staff, currently Eric. K. Shinseki, the military can detain and jail citizens en masse. Rex 84 called for many military bases to be closed and turned into prisons, based on the pretext that if a mass exodus of illegal aliens crossed the border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. A more honest and realistic scenario would be the detention of Americans. Under "Rex" the President could declare a state of emergency, empowering the head of FEMA to take control of the internal infrastructure of the U.S. and suspend the Constitution. The President could invoke Executive Orders 11000 through 11004 which would draft all citizens into work forces under governmental supervision, empower the postmaster to register all men, women, and children, seize all airports and aircraft, and seize all housing to establish forced relocation of all citizens. Congressman Henry Gonzales clarified the question of the existence of civilian detention camps by stating, "The truth is yes - you do have these standby provisions and the plans are here...whereby you could, in the name of stopping terrorism...evoke the military and arrest Americans and put them in detention camps." Equipped with flexible "military operations in urban terrain" and "operations other than war" doctrine, lethal and "less-than-lethal" high-tech weaponry, US "armed forces", and "elite" militarized police units are being trained to eradicate "disorder", "disturbance", and "civil disobedience" in America. The American corporate/military directorship has the power to enforce its definition of "disorder" and sees our Constitutional Republic as a threat and permanent counter-revolution as a "national security" requirement. Their rationale for civil disturbance "tactics and techniques" contingency planning is simple: self-preservation. They are systematically organizing to protect their interests, profits, and plots against growing opposition to their criminal activities, while rapidly consolidating an infrastructure of repression designed to "suppress rebellion against the authority of the United States". According to the Pentagon, "US forces deployed to assist federal and local authorities during times of civil disturbance will follow use-of-force policy found in Department of Defense Civil Disturbance Plan - Garden Plot." The United States Air Force Civil Disturbance Plan 55-2 - Garden Plot, is the implementing and supporting plan for the Department of the Army Civil Disturbance Plan - Garden Plot (March 1984), which provides for the employment of USAF forces in assisting civil authorities with airlift and logistical support. The Amtrak Railcar Repair Facility at Beech Grove, Indianapolis, contains at least ten maintenance barns covering 129 acres, two separate fences with the tops leaning inward, high security NSA-style people turnstiles, and high intensity/security lighting for 24-hour operation. One barn is large enough to put four box cars. Under martial law, this box car (gas chamber) facility will be used for the handling and execution of category RED and BLUE people, hence becoming a death camp The box car building fence is marked with special 'RED/BLUE Zone' signs that correspond to the RED/BLUE Lists which surfaced in June and July of 1996, when an FBI agent got hold of the Region Three BLUE List from a CIA agent and found his own name on it.

[CTRL] Big Oil and James Baker target Western Sahara
-Caveat Lector- http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/Madsen011603/madsen011603.html Big Oil and James Baker target Western Sahara By Wayne Madsen Online Journal Contributing Writer January 16, 2003âIn the midst of America's international campaign against terrorism, the Bush administration is permitting Big Oil to legitimize the illegal occupation of an invaded countryâWestern Sahara. Formerly known as Spanish Sahara and invaded by Morocco in 1975 (the same year Henry Kissinger acquiesced to Indonesia's invasion and annexation of East Timor and India's annexation of the Himalayan Kigdom of Sikkim)), Western Sahara's occupation by Morocco has neither been recognized by the United Nations nor the Organization of African Unity. The latter actually recognizes the independence of Western Sahara's exiled Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, which is headquartered in remote and squalid desert refugee camps on the Algerian side of the Western Sahara-Algeria border. In the New World Order of the Bush family, the Western Saharans have little future. That is because the lifeblood of what it means to be a Bushâoilâhas been discovered off the coast of Western Sahara. Although Morocco is the illegal occupier of Western Sahara, that did not stop the Oklahoma City-based Kerr-McGee Corporation (the company infamously portrayed in the movie "Silkwood") from signing an off-shore exploration deal with Morocco on September 25, 2001, just days after the terrorist attacks on the United States. The timing for Kerr-McGee could not have been better. The group fighting for Western Sahara independence, POLISARIO, once waged a bitter guerrilla war against Morocco. In 1991, POLISARIO signed a cease-fire with Morocco but Moroccan troops remained in the disputed territory. Meanwhile, Morocco continued to pour thousands of native Moroccans into the territory. The 1991 cease-fire agreement with Morocco was to have resulted in a referendum on the territory's future. However, Morocco kept delaying the vote until it could salt the territory with enough of its own emigrés until they constituted a majority, thus ensuring a final vote would result in voter approval for merger with Morocco. In 1997, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, who, ironically, was awarded the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize, named former Secretary of State James Baker as his personal envoy to settle the Western Sahara problem. Baker, who would later serve as George W. Bush's fix-it man in Florida's disputed presidential election, began considering rather novel ideas to settle the Western Sahara problem. Unfortunately, for the Sahrawis, Baker's ideas were all stamped with the imprimatur of Morocco. Baker, who is as connected to the Houston oil big wigs as J.R. Ewing was to oil czars in the TV show "Dallas," has his own close ties to Kerr-McGee. His James Baker Institute at Rice University funded a study called "Strategic Energy Policy: Challenges for the 21st Century." The author of that report is Matt Simmons, president of Simmons and Company Investment Bankers and member of the Board of Directors of Kerr-McGee. It also helps the cause of Kerr-McGee that Baker's former spokesperson at the Departments of State and Treasury and close personal friend, Margaret Tutwiler, serves as the U.S. ambassador to Morocco. One former associate of Tutwiler confided that it was no coincidence that landed Tutwiler in Morocco, "She was obviously placed there by Baker and his oil buddies to help cut oil deals." Tutwiler is not only in a commanding position to influence U.S. policy on Western Sahara but she can count upon one of her best friends, former White House Communications Director and close Bush confidant Karen Hughes, to ensure that Morocco's case receives the personal attention of Bush. The plan that Baker drew up for Western Sahara (while he was ensconced with his friends at his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, ranch) will undoubtedly result in the territory's eventual merger with Morocco. Approved by the UN Security Council, with the strong support of France, whose TotalFinaElf conglomerate also just signed an offshore oil exploration, the plan calls for a five-year delay for a final referendum. In the meantime, Western Sahara will have a weak territorial assembly that will be packed with loyalists of Morocco's King Mohammed, a close U.S. ally. When the referendum is finally held, sometime around 2006 or 2007, all the Moroccan squatters and occupying troops will be allowed to vote. On January 7, 2003, the UN announced that Baker would be visiting Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and Western Sahara to revive his peace plan. But it now seems that with impending war with Iraq and the paralyzing Venezuelan oil strike, Baker is under pressure from his friends in the Bush administration to bring about the commencement of oil drilling off of Western Sahara. Thus the sudden new interest by Baker in a Western Sahara "peace" deal. U.S. oil companies are chomping at the bit. In its

The potential abuse by terrorists of e-gold, an Internet currency that enables deposits and transfers of precious metals using online trading accounts, merits serious attention by those government agencies who track sources of terrorist financing, said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. While we know of no links between e-gold and terrorism at the present time, e-gold merits serious attention given the record of Internet use by terrorists and the abuse of similar devices by domestic extremists, said Mr. Foxman. In a letter to U.S. Customs Commissioner Robert C. Bonner, ADL said that terrorists may find e-gold appealing because it enables large amounts of currency to be exchanged electronically without leaving a record of the transaction. Because of its anonymity, economists and Secret Service officials have recently expressed concern about the potential for money laundering using e-gold channels. About half of the e-gold system's physical reserves are located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, apparently for financial reasons, but also to help in the marketing of e-dinar, which was launched in September 2000. E-dinar is affiliated with the Islamic Mint, a private organization dedicated to reviving gold and silver currencies described in the Quran. The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry. http://adl.org/internet/e_gold.asp E-Gold Fact Sheet E-gold has been described as the world's first 100 percent precious metal- backed Internet currency. To open an account, an individual deposits money with an online e-gold service that then converts the amount into gold bullion. Via the Internet, the account holder can transfer ownership of some or all of that gold into someone else's e-gold account. Ownership can be repeatedly transferred. E-gold is a sort of online version of warehouse banks, which similarly converted account holders' deposits into gold or silver bullion stored in the bank. These institutions became popular in the 1980s among domestic right-wing extremists, who used them to launder money, hide assets and to commit other financial abuses. While the records of e-gold companies may be obtainable by court order, and all transactions involving $10,000 or more in cash must reported, some economists and Secret Service officials have expressed concern about the potential for money laundering using e-gold channels. E-gold has been widely used by perpetrators of pyramid scams. Swindlers demand payment in e-gold because, unlike with checks or credits cards, the charges clear instantly and cannot be cancelled. Experts estimate that about half of e-gold transactions are related to scams or online games. The most popular e-gold service is operated by Gold Silver Reserve, a Florida-based company. It claims more than 200,000 accounts and more than $14 million in currency. A January 2002 account reported that its clients made 8,600 transactions daily. Other smaller systems include GoldMoney,

-Caveat Lector- This article from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ridge Confirmed as Security Chief January 22, 2003 By DAVID STOUT WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 - The Senate unanimously confirmed Tom Ridge today as the nation's first secretary of homeland security, entrusting him to preside over the biggest reorganization of the government in a half-century. All 94 senators present endorsed the former Pennsylvania governor. The vote was no surprise, since Mr. Ridge won unanimous endorsement of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee on Friday as members of both parties heaped praise upon him. The real issue underlying the confirmation is whether the country is better prepared to ward off terrorism now than it was on Sept. 11, 2001. Mr. Ridge insisted at his confirmation hearing that it is, but several panel members strongly disagreed, arguing among other things that the Bush administration has not done enough to stamp out bureaucratic turf battles and shake intelligence agencies out of their lethargy. But there was no disagreement when Mr. Ridge told the Senate committee on Friday that in spite of everything we have done, we are only at the beginning of what will be a long struggle to protect this country from terrorism. We face a hate-filled, remorseless enemy that takes many forms, hides in many places and doesn't distinguish between innocent civilians and military combatants, Mr. Ridge added. Terrorism directly threatens the foundation of our nation, our people, our freedom, our economic prosperity. President Bush welcomed today's action. With today's historic vote, the Senate has demonstrated our shared commitment to doing everything we can to secure our homeland, Mr. Bush said in a statement. Mr. Ridge assumed his Cabinet-level post two days before the new department formally goes into business. Mr. Ridge faces a monumental logistical challenge in organizing the new department, which will draw together 22 federal agencies and nearly 170,000 employees in the largest reorganization of the federal government since the creation of the Defense Department after World War II. Among the entities to be folded into the new department are the Secret Service, Coast Guard, Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The headquarters for the new department is expected to be in Virginia. It is widely assumed that it will be many months before the department is fully functioning. Mr. Ridge graduated from Harvard and saw combat in the Vietnam War. He was a member of the House of Representative from Erie, Pa., for 12 years before being elected governor in 1994. Shortly after the terror attacks of 2001, Mr. Ridge left the governorship to become head of the White House Office of Homeland Security, so he was a logical candidate to head the new Cabinet department. Mr. Ridge's mission will be not just protecting the United States but doing it without trampling on individual rights, Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, said today. It is essential that Governor Ridge understand that he will be responsible not only for defending the homeland but also for defending against the abuse of power within the new department, Mr. Byrd said. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/22/politics/22cnd-ridge.html?ex=1044277529ei=1en=6b9763ff160cfa63 HOW TO ADVERTISE - For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit our online media kit at http://www.nytimes.com/adinfo For general information about NYTimes.com, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Copyright 2002 The New York Times Company A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Is Bush's Big Mouth A National Security Threat?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.consortiumnews.com/2003/012203a.html THE BUSH EXIT RAMP By Sam Parry January 22, 2003 George W. Bushâs followers hail his tough comments as proof of his straight-talking style and his âmoral clarity.â But his often-insulting remarks about political and international adversaries also raise questions about whether the presidentâs loose tongue is becoming a national security danger to the American people. Do Americans, for instance, face a greater risk of nuclear conflict because Bush indulged in a rant last year that included calling North Koreaâs leader a âpygmyâ â or of terrorism because Bush termed U.S. military action in the Middle East a âcrusade,â with its Christian vs. Muslim overtones? Or does he exacerbate worldwide suspicion that Washington doesnât care much about the global environment when he mocks environmentalists to his White House aides as âgreen-green lima beansâ? Part of the job of any leader is to avoid careless talk that can complicate the always-tricky business of diplomacy. Publicly at least, effective leaders take pains not to personalize issues. But Bush consistently does the opposite, suggesting either a political tin ear to how he sounds to people around the world or perhaps a personality disorder that he can't control. Either way, Bush's inability to make America's case to the world may become a political issue as the American people approach the exit ramp of Election 2004. Bush Anti-Americanism The evidence is now clear that Bushâs bellicose statements have contributed to a growing hostility toward the United States in all corners of the globe. âNegative opinions of the U.S. have increased in most of the nations where trend benchmarks are available,â reported the Pew Research Center for The People The Press in a recent study. Even worse is the deterioration of U.S. standing in areas near the front lines of the war on terror, such as Jordan, Turkey and Pakistan. [For details, go to www.people-press.org] Newsweek International editor Fareed Zakaria has written that anti-Americanism is emerging as the planetâs âdefault ideology,â which translates into deepening threats against Americans, both as individuals and as a people. But the anger may be less anti-American than anti-Bush. Respondents to international surveys often stress that they like Americans but oppose Bush administration policies. Hostility toward Bush even is eroding U.S. standing among the staunchest of allies. In Great Britain, where Prime Minister Tony Blair is derided as a âpoodleâ for backing Bushâs Iraq policy, politicians across the ideological spectrum are feeling âanxiety and antagonismâ toward the U.S. president, reports Andrew Rawnsley, chief political commentator for the London Observer. In a Jan. 15 dispatch, Rawnsley quotes a former Conservative Cabinet minister as likening Bush to âa child running around with a grenade with the pin pulled out.â [For details, see âWhy We Don't Trust Bush.â] Solidifying Image This image of Bush is now solidifying around the world and is creeping into the consciousness of the American public as marked by Bush's weakening poll numbers. But there have long been warning signs about Bushâs lack of discipline over the words coming out of his mouth. Remember the scene in 1986 when Bush was miffed about a prediction made by Wall Street Journal political writer Al Hunt that Jack Kemp â not then-Vice President George H.W. Bush â would win the Republican presidential nomination in 1988. At a Dallas restaurant, the younger George Bush spotted Hunt having dinner with his wife, Judy Woodruff, and their four-year-old son. Bush stormed up to the table and started cursing out Hunt. âYou [expletive] son of a bitch,â Bush yelled. âI saw what you wrote. Weâre not going to forget this.â [Washington Post, July 25, 1999] While thin-skinned about criticism of himself or his family, Bush regularly pokes fun at others. While Texas governor, Bush lined up for a photo and fingered the man next to him. âHeâs the ugly one!â Bush laughed. [NYT, Aug. 22, 1999] In one of Campaign 2000âs most memorable moments, Bush uttered an aside to his running mate Dick Cheney about New York Times reporter Adam Clymer. âThere's Adam Clymer -- major league asshole -- from the New York Times,â Bush said as he was waving to a campaign crowd from a stage in Naperville, Ill. âYeah, big time,â responded Cheney. Their voices were picked up on an open microphone. Or recall Bush making a joke about the condemned murderer Carla Faye Tucker pleading for her life to the Texas governor. âPlease donât kill me,â Bush whimpered through pursed lips in an imitation of the woman whom Bush had refused clemency. In the second presidential debate, Bush continued to make light of people facing the death penalty in Texas. While arguing against hate-crimes laws, Bush said the three men
[CTRL] NYTimes.com Article: Sharpton's Office Building Catches Fire
-Caveat Lector- This article from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sharpton's Office Building Catches Fire January 22, 2003 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 2:27 p.m. ET NEW YORK (AP) -- Fire spread through the headquarters of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network on Wednesday, gutting a reception hall one day after Sharpton formally became a Democratic presidential contender in 2004. The fire was reported at about 8:30 a.m. on the second floor of the three-story building in Harlem. Fire officials said the reception hall where Sharpton holds weekly rallies and news conferences was gutted. The fire also spread to the third floor, occupied by the Israeli Church of UPK. A 23-year-old man hanging from a third-floor window was pulled to safety by firefighters and treated for smoke inhalation. Investigators said the cause of the blaze was under investigation. Sharpton toured the damaged offices with a fire marshal after arriving from Washington Wednesday afternoon. He later declared that the blaze would ``in no way abate in any shape or form'' his run for president. He did not speculate on the cause of the blaze or say when or where the National Action Network would rebuild. ``These are the people that built the House of Justice, and we will build it again,'' Sharpton said, pointing to a crowd outside that had been shouting ``No justice, no peace!'' Officials said an office where the group's financial records are kept was mostly spared in the fire. Sharpton spokeswoman Rachel Noerdlinger said the fire was discovered by a National Action Network office manager who had unlocked the office about 8 a.m., then heard a popping noise and smelled smoke. Fire marshals said they were interviewing the office manager Wednesday. They also were interviewing the man who was rescued and a cook from the West Indian restaurant that occupies the first floor. On Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had joined Sharpton at the offices for a forum commemorating the life of the slain civil rights leader. Sharpton formally filed papers the following day seeking the Democratic party's nomination for the 2004 presidential race. ^-- On the Net: National Action Network: http://www.nationalactionnetwork.org http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Sharpton-Fire.html?ex=1044277912ei=1en=0518c173062ee8cb HOW TO ADVERTISE - For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit our online media kit at http://www.nytimes.com/adinfo For general information about NYTimes.com, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Copyright 2002 The New York Times Company A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] NYTimes.com Article: A Conspiracy Nipped Can Still Bring Conviction, Justices Say
-Caveat Lector- This article from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Conspiracy Nipped Can Still Bring Conviction, Justices Say January 22, 2003 By LINDA GREENHOUSE WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 - The Supreme Court ruled today that members of a criminal conspiracy can be convicted regardless of whether the discovery of the plot by the police has made it impossible for the conspiracy to achieve its goal. The court has repeatedly said that the essence of a conspiracy is `an agreement to commit an unlawful act,' Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote for the court. He added that the criminal agreement is a distinct evil, punishable whether or not the substantive crime ever takes place. The decision overturned a ruling two years ago by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco. The appeals court overturned the conspiracy convictions of two drug couriers who went to a shopping mall in Idaho expecting to pick up a shipment of drugs, not knowing that the police had already discovered the shipment while it was in transit. Instead of carrying out their part in a conspiracy to distribute narcotics, the two men, Francisco Jimenez Recio and Adrian Lopez-Meza, stepped into what had become a government sting operation. The appeals court reasoned that because the object of the conspiracy had already been frustrated by the time the men arrived, the conspiracy itself had terminated, and the convictions were invalid. In overturning the decision today, the justices were unanimous in their legal reasoning. But Justice John Paul Stevens voted against overturning the Ninth Circuit's judgment, because federal prosecutors had not objected at trial to jury instructions that embodied the appeals court's approach to conspiracy law. Nor had the government challenged the theory in the initial phase of the men's appeal, which cited a number of grounds. The prosecutor, like the defendant, should be required to turn square corners, Justice Stevens said. The appeals court's ruling was based on one of its own precedents, United States v. Cruz, a 1997 case that adopted a view of conspiracy law that was unique among the federal circuits and had never been endorsed by the Supreme Court. There was little surprise in the Supreme Court's rejection of that approach in its decision today, United States v. Jimenez Recio, No. 01-1184. In its appeal, the government argued in passing that the Ninth Circuit's approach would make it more difficult to prosecute terrorist conspiracies, noting that the government's interest lay both in intercepting the conspiracy and in achieving convictions. But even without the allusion to current concerns, the government's arguments would clearly have found a receptive audience at the Supreme Court. The Ninth Circuit's approach would potentially threaten the use of properly run law enforcement sting operations, including the use of undercover agents, Justice Breyer said. A conspiracy poses a threat to the public over and above the threat of the commission of the relevant substantive crime, he added, because it remains likely that the same person will conspire to commit other offenses even if frustrated in one instance. These were among the other developments at the court today: Insanity Appeal Without comment, the court cleared the way for Texas to execute a prisoner whom the justices granted a last-minute stay in November. The question raised by the prisoner, James B. Colburn, convicted of the 1995 murder of a woman hitchhiking near his home, was whether the federal courts have jurisdiction to consider a claim that an inmate is mentally incompetent to be executed when an earlier federal court petition failed to present that issue. That technical-sounding question is illustrative of a predicament that death-row inmates now face as a result of the interaction between Supreme Court precedents and new Congressional restrictions on access to federal court review by means of petitions for a writ of habeas corpus. The court ruled in 1986 that the execution of inmates who are insane violates the constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The court has also ruled that because mental status changes over time, such a claim is not ripe for federal court review until execution is imminent. But under current habeas corpus law, a legal claim that is not raised in an initial petition will generally not be considered if presented for the first time in a second or successive petition. In this case, lawyers for Mr. Colburn, who has received a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, did not raise his incompetency claim in his first federal habeas corpus petition, in 1999. They did raise it late last year, after his execution date had been set and his mental state had deteriorated to the point that the state itself requested a mental evaluation. Court-appointed experts agreed at that time that he was mentally ill but able to understand the reason he was
[CTRL] NYTimes.com Article: Study of Twins Backs Marijuana-Drug Link
-Caveat Lector- This article from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] And birth leads to death, so let's declare a war on birth. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Study of Twins Backs Marijuana-Drug Link January 22, 2003 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A study of Australian twins appears to bolster the theory that marijuana can lead to harder drugs. The researchers found 311 sets of same-sex twins, including 136 sets of identical twins, in which just one twin had smoked marijuana before age 17. Early marijuana smokers were found to be up to five times more likely to move to harder drugs than were their twins. They were about twice as likely to use opiates like heroin and five times as likely to use hallucinogens like LSD. Other studies reached conflicting conclusions. The new study, published today in The Journal of the American Medical Association, is unlikely to still the debate. In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Denise B. Kandel of the psychiatry department at Columbia University said the study did not explain whether or not a true causal link exists between marijuana and hard drugs. An argument can be made, Dr. Kandel wrote, that even identical twins do not share the same environment during adolescence. The study does not say how marijuana, or cannabis, might lead to harder drugs. It is often implicitly assumed that using cannabis changes your brain or makes you crave other drugs, said the lead researcher, Dr. Michael T. Lynskey of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia. But there are a number of other potential mechanisms, including access to drugs, willingness to break the law and likelihood of engaging in risk-taking behavior. Dr. Lynskey and his colleagues acknowledged that the study had limitations, including relying on participants' reporting their experiences. The participants, whose average age was 30, were asked about their drug use as teenagers. About 46 percent of the early marijuana users reported that they later abused or became dependent on marijuana, and 43 percent had become dependent on alcohol. Cocaine and other stimulants were the most commonly used harder drugs. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/22/health/22DRUG.html?ex=1044278375ei=1en=959682845d485483 HOW TO ADVERTISE - For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit our online media kit at http://www.nytimes.com/adinfo For general information about NYTimes.com, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Copyright 2002 The New York Times Company A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.
