Document 0021.1
 COMMUNIST RULES FOR REVOLUTION.
 The following document was provided to me, the subject is Communist Rules
For Revolution.  It is reprinted here in its entirety, unchanged except for
some formatting. Regards, OMA.

 Quote: These words that follow were first published in the Bartlesville,
Oklahoma, Examiner-Enterprise in 1919.  Reprinted again in 1946 in The New
World News after a Florida attorney general secured it from a known member
of the communist party, who acknowledged that it was still part of the
communist program..

 In May of 1919, Dusseldorf, Germany, the Allied Forces obtained a copy of
the 'Communist Rules for Revolution'.

 A.  Corrupt the young; get them away from religion.  Get them interested in
sex.  Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.

 B.  Get control of all means of publicity, thereby:

 1.  Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on
athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.

 2.  Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on
controversial matters of no importance.

 3.  Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding them up
to contempt, ridicule, and disgrace.

 4.  Always preach true democracy but seize power as fast and ruthlessly as
possible.

 5.  By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce
fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

 6.  Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil
disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on part of the government
towards such disorders.

 7.  Be (sic) specious argument, cause the breakdown of the old moral
virtues - honesty, sobriety, self restraint, faith in the pledged word,
ruggedness.

 C.  Cause the registration of ALL firearms on some pretext with a view to
confiscate them and leave the population helpless. End Quote.

 [ Insert: These rules are nearly complete right here in the good ole USA!!.
For God and Country, and our Constitution, OMA.]

 To continue this document as received:
 Quote: On March 26, 1922, New York City Mayor John Hylan spoke in Chicago
concerning the state of the nation:
 'The warning of Theodore Roosevelt has much timeliness today, for the real
menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant
octopus sprawls its slimy length over our city, state, and nation...It
seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our
legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and EVERY
agency created for the public protection.

 Let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard
Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally
referred to as the INTERNATIONAL bankers.  The little coterie of powerful
international bankers virtually run the United States government for their
own selfish purposes.  They control BOTH parties, write political platforms,
make catspaws of party leaders, use leading men of private organizations,
and resort to every devise to place in nomination for high public office
only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big
business.
 These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control
the majority of newspapers and magazines in this country.  They use the
columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office
public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt
cliques which compose the invisible government.  End Quote of John Hylan.

I sent Mark's post to a number of people.  Here is a response from one

Fascism is based on the ideal of National SOCIALISM. The only real
difference between a Nazi and a Communist is that a Nazi believes that
socialism can be achieved in a single nation while a communist believes
that a global socialist state is need to fully implement socialist
tyranny.
IMO, the idea that National Socialism was genuine socialism (as the
left sees it, anyway), and the idea that National Socialism was the
capitalist world's defence against socialism are BOTH bullshit hoaxes,
perpetrated by the ideologues of left and right on eachother.  these
arguments are a disease of those who need to think in dualistic terms.
however, i have recently been tilting somewhat to the opinion that the
absolute categorization of the nazis as right wing is a distortion of
history by the left (especially trotskyists, who have abused the very
word fascism into oblivion by using it as a facile verbal weapon
against any ideology they don't like, whether or not it accurately
fits).  this is certainly the case if one equates fascism with late
capitalism, which has always been a cheapshot marxist canard.  the
nazi party platform was very heavily collectivist and strongly espoused
a planned as opposed to a market economy, and there was a notable
anti-capitalist element in both the nazi platform and many right-wing
nationalist movements of the time (a competitive, free-market system,
whatever it's real flaws may be, was seen as the enemy because it gave
an undesired equality to outsiders and thus weakened the volk).  a
more perceptive and fair way to look at the nazi regime was as a
rendition of what james burnham called the managerial society, which
was neither capitalism nor socialism, and in fact is antithetical to
both in important ways.  it is this managerial state which is the
real agenda of the wall st. so-called capitalists who supported
hitler (and some of whom, such as the rockefellers, had earlier
supported the rise of the bolsheviks, who created what burnham also
considered to be a managerial society).
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/burnham.html
anyway, here's a quote from a dissenting point of view:

The evidence that Nazism was part of the socialist tradition continues
to accumulate, even if it makes no headlines. In 1978 Otto Wagener's
Hitler: Memoirs of a Confidant appeared in its original German. Wagener
was a lifelong Nazi who had died in 1971. His recollections of Hitler's
conversations had been composed from notes in a British prisoner-of-war
camp, and they represent Hitler as an extreme socialist utopian,
anti-Jewish because ``the Jew is not a socialist.'' Nor are
Communists--``basically they are not socialistic, since they create
mere herds, as in the Soviet Union, without individual life.'' The real
task, Hitler told Wagener, was to realize the socialist dream that
mankind over the centuries had forgotten, to liberate labor, and to
displace the role of capital. That sounds like a program for the Left,
and many parties called socialist have believed in less.
Hitler's allegiance, even before such sources were known, was
acknowledged by socialists outside Germany. Julian Huxley, for example,
the pro-Soviet British biologist who later became director-general of
UNESCO, accepted Hitler's claim to be a socialist in the early 1930s,
though without enthusiasm (indeed, with marked embarrassment).
Hitler's program demanded central economic planning, which was at the
heart of the socialist cause; and genocide, in the 1930s, was well
known to be an aspect of the socialist tradition and of no other. There
was, and is, no conservative or liberal tradition of racial
extermination. The Nazis, what is more, could call on socialist
practice as well as socialist theory when they invaded the Soviet Union
in 1941 and began their exterminatory program. That is documented by
Rudolf Hoess in his memoir Kommandant in Auschwitz (1958). Detailed
reports of the Soviet camp system were circulated to Nazi camp
commandants as a model to emulate and an example to follow.

He also assumes that the elimination of all social barriers is a good
thing. History shows us this isn't so. The social anarchy that followed
the French and Russian revolutions were not the beginnings of a
socialist utopia, they were rightly called Reigns of Terror.

[CTRL] The Strange Death Of President Harding

-Caveat Lector-
http://www.rense.com/general38/shard.htm



The Strange Death Of 
President Harding
By Gaston B. Means as told to May Dixon Thacker
Guild Publishing Corporation (1930)
6-17-3


Warren Harding was elected president in 1920, on the basis of a promise of strong support for Prohibition, but an equal promise not to enforce it, especially in the White House. He kept his promise, so far as it applied to the White House, but not otherwise, and an enforcement system went into effect, staffed by federal agents.

Gaston Means was an agent and investigator for the Justice Department's Bureau of Investigation (the forerunner of the FBI). Means made $83 a week at his government job, but he made far more as a member of a political gang (the members of which I will sometimes call the conspirators). The gang was led by Harry M. Daugherty, the Attorney General. The gang installed Means in a palatial house, situated at 903 16th Street, N.W., in Washington, D.C. There Means moved in, with his wife and children and there, he spent most of his time. He had at his constant disposal a $5,000 Cadillac and chauffeur. In the back yard, he constructed an underground safe for the keeping of monies, derived from a number of scams including (but not limited to) Prohibition graft, sales of Federal Judgeships, dismissal of civil and criminal actions against industrial plants, sales of pardons and paroles, sales of government lands, etc. Members of the gang included Secretary of the Interior Fall; Jess Smith, Harry Daugherty's Man Friday, who lived with Daugherty in Washington and spent much time at 903 16th Street; Gen. Sawyer, the President's physician; C.F. Cramer, the attorney for the Veteran's Bureau; John T. King, a lobbyist and politician; Col. T. B. Felder, an attorney who served as adviser to the clique; and many others.

Publicly, at least, Warren Harding was an amiable, kindly man. He was incredibly handsome and attractive to the opposite sex, and it was generally known that he had numerous affairs with a variety of different women. Florence Harding, Warren's wife, was older than Warren. Unlike Warren, who was not an ideologue, Florence was a fervent suffragette and crusader for women's rights. She was also a scold, and made her husband s life miserable with her constant nagging.

Early in the Harding Administration, Florence Harding summoned Gaston Means to meet with her. She had heard, she explained, that a vile rumor was circulating in Washington that her husband had sired an illegitimate son by a woman named Nan Britton, who lived in Chicago. She asked Means to investigate the rumor and prove that the story wasn't true. Means, who fancied himself a great investigator, accepted the assignment. She promised to pay him.

Alcohol Prohibition was a great source of profit to the conspirators who formed the gang. For a price, government officials could provide papers which allowed people to withdraw quantities of whiskey and gin from bonded warehouses. Also, for a price, bootleggers could purchase protection from federal agents who might otherwise interfere with their business affairs. Means, himself, frequently travelled to New York to handle these transactions. There, he would rent two adjoining rooms in a first class hotel, e.g., the Vanderbilt. Each bootlegger seeking protection for his business activities, whether they be in Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, or wherever, would be instructed to come to one of the rooms at an odd time, e.g., 11:42 AM, 2:26 PM, etc., and to bring with him the required sum of money. In the room there would be a large glass jar, with a large sum of cash, e.g., $10,000 or $50,000 already deposited therein (so as to reassure the client that he was not alone; that others were also purchasing protective services). Each bootlegger would then deposit the required sum of money in bills, while Means watched through a peephole in the adjacent room to make sure that the money already in the bowl was not removed, and that the required payment was made. Not once was he short-changed, such was the honesty of his clients. In this manner and over time, Means brought in $7,000,000 from the New York operations, and similar large sums from Detroit, Chicago, etc.

While all this was going on, Means' investigation of Nan Britton proceeded. Through nefarious means, he managed to gain admittance to the apartment in Chicago where Britton was staying, and to actually steal letters which Harding had written to Britton, confirming his affair with her. Means also found numerous gifts which Harding had made to Britton s son, e.g., a ring, a baby carriage, etc. Thus, the investigation did not serve its intended purpose: it confirmed, rather than disproved the rumors. It also led to the suspicion, in Means' mind, that the conspirators were using the affair to blackmail the President into signing executive orders, transferring certain government oil leases from the Navy Department to the Secretary of Interior,

that a global socialist state is need to fully implement socialist
tyranny.

One of the first things the Nazis did was to murder every
socialist they could find.  When leftists talk about socialism
today they mean DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM, with workers (including
managers) having democratic control (one-person-one-vote, not
one-dollar-one-vote as in the U.S. today) over the businesses
they work in and over the economy and government as a whole.

Regardless of their party's name or the original beliefs of some
of their members, the actual facts of Nazism and Italian and
Japanese Fascism is that they were financed by (some) wealthy
businessmen and they served the interests of wealthy businessmen.
All these forms of Fascism specifically murdered everyone who
advocated democratic control of businesses and the economy by
the people.  They even murdered union leaders who simply wanted
to organize workers so they could gain some leverage toward
better wages and conditions.

The German Fascists (Nazis) got most of their financing from
(some) wealthy American businessmen.  After WWII, (some) wealthy
American businessmen, acting through conservative politicians,
carried out assassinations and covert and overt military attacks
on dozens of different nations, to murder exactly the same sorts
of pro-human political leaders that the Nazis murdered.  See the
references below.

This person is of the mistaken assumption that profits are evil.

No, it is _excessive_ profits -- those that rob from workers
most of the value of the goods and services they produce --
that are evil.

what he ignores is that the much maligned American capitalist
economy has created more wealth

A great deal of the wealth created by the American capitalist
economy has been accomplished by taking control of third world
nations (see the references below), robbing their natural
resources, installing murderous dictatorial (death-squad)
governments, and then using their populations as slave labor at
wages of pennies per hour to grow and manufacture products for
American corporations.  This practice is still going on.

and distributed it more evenly than any
other economic system in the history of mankind. No socialist economy
anywhere, ever has created the broad distribution of wealth the US
economy has... period.

Wrong.  Scandinavian and other countries that practice Social
Democracy -- democratic control over a capitalist economy, with
limitations on profits and a large public sector to provide
housing, medical care, etc., that capitalism doesn't -- have much
better distribution of wealth than the U.S. economy.  And people
in Cuba, and under the former socialist government of Nicaragua,
have done much better than under U.S.-imposed capitalism, even
with U.S.-enforced trade embargos and military attacks that did
tremendous damage to their economies.

He also assumes that the elimination of all social barriers is a good
thing. History shows us this isn't so. The social anarchy that followed
the French and Russian revolutions were not the beginnings of a
socialist utopia, they were rightly called Reigns of Terror.

Sooner or later tyrants and their advocates will divulge their
true motives!  Here Zuukie and (as I'm told) her friends are
advocating the maintenance of economic-class, racial, and gender
social barriers, which can mean nothing less than control of the
government, society, and economy by wealthy white businessmen.
This is exactly the agenda of the Fascists and the businessmen
who supported them, for the simple purpose of maximizing their
profits.

The gay rights movement isn't about civil rights for homosexuals.
Homosexuals enjoy all the same civil rights as other Americans.

Absolutely false.  Homosexual people are generally not allowed to
have official marriages, and so are denied the various economic
and social rights that such marriages confer, and they are also
discriminated against in employment, housing, etc.

Its about government mandated endorsement of sodomy and nothing else.

That is an absurd lie.  Sodomy -- oral and anal sex -- is widely
practiced by heterosexual, as well as homosexual, people.  The laws
that homosexual people want, permitting marriage and forbidding
discrimination, do not endorse sodomy any more than current laws
endorse penile-vaginal intercourse.

Here is the ideal general principle of morality:  Don't harm
other people; do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't harm
anyone.

In fact, that is the fundamental

Chairman of Duma 
committee on Yugoslavia proposes to suspend hearings in the Hague Tribunal for 
one year 
Chairman of the State Duma's special committee on Yugoslavia Nikolai 
Ryzhkov has proposed suspending hearings of the case of former Yugoslavian 
President Slobodan Milosevic in the Hague Tribunal for a year.  
He voiced his opinion on Wednesday at a press conference in the State 
Duma after his visit to The Hague, where on June 6th he met Milosevic in prison. 
 Ryzhkov said a break was necessary because of the 
ex-president's health. Also, Milosevic needs time to thoroughly prepare for the 
hearings and for defence.  By January-February 2004 the 
Hague tribunal intends to finish hearing of witnesses for the prosecution, 
according to the chairman. By now it has listened to about 180 witnesses, other 
200 are yet to speak. The prosecution's documents exceed 400,000 pages, he said. 
Milosevic needs a break, as having refused services of lawyers he defends 
himself on his own and thus has enormous load preparing for the hearings that 
take place five times a week, Ryzhkov explained.  ©

As Robert navigates the repercussions of abuse on self esteem, sounds and images lead into the somatic dream world, into realms not verbal, where the traumas take hold. The sense of disconnection and double life that develops from hidden abuse echoes through an allegorical montage of found footage and new film collaged and overlapped, slowed and sped, like memories under duressBreaking down memory blocks and denial spurs the need to find peace with abuse.

Arresting Images - Documentary Asks: Hysteria or Truth? By Desson Howe Washington Post Staff Writer 6/16/03 "The book was supposed to be closed on The People v. Arnold Friedman and Jesse Friedman, two sexual-molestation cases in the late 1980s that destroyed a family and devastated a community. But "Capturing the Friedmans," a new documentary and Sundance film festival winner." "Arnold had already been arrested in a sting operation for receiving and distributing child pornography through the mail in the mid-'80s. When postal inspector John McDermott told police that Arnold also taught preteen boys, the Nassau County sex crimes unit (headed by Galasso) got lists of his students and interviewed them. Their testimony included alleged acts of abuse, sodomy and bizarre sexual games." "The movie, said Boklan in a later telephone interview, "is a brilliant piece of fiction and theater but unfair and inaccurate." She cited a Geraldo Rivera show in 1989 in which Jesse -- already in prison at that point -- admitted he had abused those children. But the scene, she says, is left out of the movie." "Galasso also strongly rejected the idea that interviews with the children were designed to coax preconceived answers. The first detective sent out to interview one 10-year-old boy was surprised when the boy -- upon meeting the detective -- immediately handed him a flier that advertised Elaine Friedman's in-home day-care center. According to Galasso, the boy told the detective he wanted him to have the poster because "'I don't want any more children to get touched.'" "What that young man eventually revealed," Galasso continued, "was a pretty complete account of how he was seduced and then raped by Arnold Friedman and then Jesse Friedman." The 10-year-old's older brother, who also attended classes with Arnold Friedman, "told the same story, by the way," Galasso said. Two-person teams began interviewing "a great number of children within a very short period of time," she said. Lurid accounts surfaced of games of "leap frog" in the nude and "find the MM's," which involved children using their mouths to find candy hidden inside other children's underwear."

 LaRouche Replies To Bartley Column
 http://larouchein2004.net/pages/pressreleases/2003/030610bartley.htm

 LaRouche has written a reply to a Wall Street Journal article on June 9 by
 the paper's regular columnist and editor emeritus, Robert Bartley.
 Bartley's column complained that the New York Times and the New Yorker
 magazine had followed LaRouche's lead in exposing the fascist Straussian
 philosophy behind the Chickenhawks in the Bush Administration. Bartley also
 admitted that he had a long association with Albert Wohlstetter, one of the
 mentors of the Chickenhawks.

 In his reply, LaRouche writes,

 The point of the pamphlet to which Bartley referred, was the fact that a
 so-called neo-conservative network of the Vice-President's lackeys,
 organized around the influence of Professor Leo Strauss--a follower of the
 Nazi existentialist Martin Heidegger, Nazi legal figure Carl Schmitt, and
 Hegelian Alexander Kojeve--are the core of the current pro-war faction
 inside the current Bush Administration's Defense and State Departments, in
 addition to the office of the Vice-President himself. Bartley evades these
 facts, the facts of the very issue which made the pamphlet as influential
 as he describes it.

 LaRouche's wife, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, joined him on his trip last month to

 War on May 26. She told the participants,

 Swami Vivekananda, in one of his lectures, says: Europe is in imminent
 danger if it does not turn to its spirituality as its basis for life. And,
 I fully agree: Europe is in mortal danger, and we have to work to change
 this. This is why the Schiller Institute is called according to the great
 Poet of Freedom, Friedrich Schiller, because he developed the concept of
 the beautiful soul; that each man must develop a beautiful soul. A
 beautiful soul is a person for whom duty and passion, freedom and
 necessity, are one and the same. Somebody who is a good Samaritan, who does
 the good without thinking about his own self-interest.

 So therefore, let's build the Dialogue of Cultures, on the idea that what
 is common to all cultures and nations on this Earth is an image of man,
 that must be beautiful. Let's work, so that each person becomes a beautiful
 atman.

Drug Turns Crime Victims Into Zombies

BOGOTA (Reuters) - The last thing Andrea Fernandez 
recalls before being drugged is holding her newborn baby on a Bogota city bus.

Police found her three days later, muttering to herself and wandering topless 
along the median strip of a busy highway. Her face was badly beaten and her son 
was gone. 

Fernandez is just one of hundreds of victims every month who, according to 
Colombian hospitals, are temporarily turned into zombies by a home-grown drug 
called scopolamine which has been embraced by thieves and rapists. 

"When I woke up in the hospital, I asked for my baby and nobody said 
anything. They just looked at me," Fernandez said, weeping. Police believe her 
son Diego was taken by a gang that traffics in infants. 

Colorless, odorless and tasteless, scopolamine is slipped into drinks and 
sprinkled onto food. Victims become so docile that they have been known to help 
thieves rob their homes and empty their bank accounts. Women have been drugged 
repeatedly over days and gang-raped or rented out as prostitutes. 

In the case of Fernandez, the mother of three was rendered submissive enough 
to surrender her youngest child. 

Most troubling for police is the way the drug acts on the brain. Since 
scopolamine completely blocks the formation of memories, unlike most date-rape 
drugs used in the United States and elsewhere, it is usually impossible for 
victims to ever identify their aggressors. 

"When a patient (of U.S. date-rape drugs) is under hypnosis, he or she 
usually recalls what happened. But with scopolamine, this isn't possible because 
the memory was never recorded," said Dr. Camilo Uribe, the world's leading 
expert on the drug. 

Scopolamine has a long, dark history in Colombia dating back to before the 
Spanish conquest. 

Legend has it that Colombian Indian tribes used the drug to bury alive the 
wives and slaves of fallen chiefs, so that they would quietly accompany their 
masters into the afterworld. 

Nazi "angel of death" Joseph Mengele experimented on scopolamine as an 
interrogation drug. And scopolamine's sedative and amnesia-producing qualities 
were used by mothers in the early 20th century to help them through childbirth. 

Finding the drug in Colombia these days is not hard. 

The tree which naturally produces scopolamine grows wild around the capital 
and is so famous in the countryside that mothers warn their children not to fall 
asleep below its yellow and white flowers. The tree is popularly known as the 
"borrachero," or "get-you-drunk," and the pollen alone is said to conjure up 
strange dreams. 

"We probably should put some sort of fence up," jokes biologist Gustavo 
Morales at Bogota's botanical gardens, eyeing children playing with borrachero 
seeds everywhere. 

"If you ate a few of those, it would kill you." 

Although scopolamine can be easily extracted from the seeds, experienced 
criminals hardly ever bother with them, police say. 

Pure, cheap scopolamine is brought across the border from neighboring 
Ecuador, where the borrachero tree is harvested for medical purposes, Uribe 
said. The alkaloid is used legally in medicines across the world to treat 
everything from motion sickness to the tremors of Parkinson's disease (news 
- web 
sites). 

The use of scopolamine by criminals appears to be confined to Colombia, at 
least for now, and it's not clear why the drug is such a rampant problem in 
Colombia. Some analysts blame it on a culture of crime in the Andean nation, 
home to the world's largest kidnapping and cocaine industries, not to mention 
Latin America's longest-running guerrilla war. 
There are so many scopolamine cases that they usually don't make the news 
unless particularly bizarre. One such incident involved three young Bogota women 
who preyed on men by smearing the drug on their breasts and luring their victims 
to take a

  In the event of future space flight accidents, there's need for NASA
  (news
  - web
  sites) to step completely out of the way and let a truly independent
  investigation proceed. 
  
  That's the view of Rep.Bart Gordon (D-Tennessee), introducing House
  Resolution 2450: The Human Space Flight Independent Investigation
  Commission Act. 
  
  Gordon is the senior Democrat on the House Subcommittee on Space and
  Aeronautics. The legislator introduced the bill on June 12, a resolution
  crafted to assure that future human space flight accident investigations
  are truly independent. 
  
  Smell test
  
  The lawmaker has been less than pleased with the internal intricacies
  of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB). Gordon warned NASA
  earlier this year that the CAIB charter "just doesn't pass the smell
  test."
  
  Retired Admiral Hal Gehman chairs the 13-person CAIB, now based in
  Washington, D.C. and busily wrapping up its inquiry into the loss of space
  shuttle Columbia and crew on February 1.
  
  Among the board members is Scott Hubbard, Director of the NASA Ames
  Research Center. Board support includes ex-officio member Michael
  Bloomfield, NASA Chief Astronaut Instructor, as well as Theron Bradley,
  Jr., NASA's Chief Engineer.
  
  In the early stages of the accident investigation, the NASA
  administrator, Sean O'Keefe, revised the Gehman board's charter three
  times before he finally gave the board a measure of independence, Gordon
  noted. Even then, the board retains one NASA official and relies on NASA
  staff, which could undermine the credibility of its final report, the
  Congressman said.
  
  Modeled after Challenger commission
  
  Gordon stressed that his bill "is a lesson-learned bill and not a
  reflection on Admiral Gehman's handling of the Columbia
investigation."
  
  "My purpose for crafting this bill is to make sure future
  investigations are free from any perception that the agency is hiding
  something," Gordon explained. "I want the public to have complete trust
  and support for our space program. Anything less is unacceptable."
  
  "The shame is all the NASA administrator had to do to get it right the
  first time was follow the successful model of the presidential commission
  that investigated the 1986 Challenger accident," Gordon said in a
  statement issued today. "I still don't understand why NASA believes it can
  adequately investigate itself and produce a report the public will
  accept."
  
  Gordon would have preferred an independent commission, appointed by the
  President, one that was free of any NASA personnel when investigating a
  major tragedy at the space agency. NASA's O'Keefe worked to modify the
  board's charter, but refused to relinquish the investigation to a truly
  independent panel as was done in the Challenger accident, the lawmaker
  said.
  
  Public trust
  
  If okayed by the U.S. Congress, The Human Space Flight Independent
  Investigation Commission Act would draw on the Challenger model by
  requiring a 15-member commission, with 14 members appointed by the
  President. The 15th member would be the chair of the National
  Transportation Safety Board (news
  - web
  sites). 
  
  The President, to the extent possible, would have to appoint some
  members with space flight and accident investigation experience, but
  otherwise can draw board members from a diversity of backgrounds. 
  
  To assure separation from the space agency, the bill stipulates that no
  NASA personnel would be pe

 I truly am glad that you chose to reply, for whatever reason.  You have
elaborated very clearly and with wonderful documentation what I was
trying to say in a less academic way, and for that I thank you.  Having
gone thru what might be called onion research, attempting to lift one
layer after another of opinion and facts to understand what is going on,
just out of persistent curiousity, I am no more a fan of the organized
right than I am of the organized left, particularly seeing the right as
the provision made for dissidents which Beatrice Webb said was
necessary.

You are right when you say the media promoted establishment left and
right organizations promote ideas that are devisive.  Followers on the
right are sidetracked when they attempt to learn what is causing the
changes, and followers on the left tend to respond to emotional messages
promoting the cultural changes taking place.  On the right those who
look for information are easily funneled to antisemitic sources who
promise to give them the real truth that they can't get anywhere else.
They don't even realize how they have been funneled, thinking that those
who present them with any new information are to be trusted. That
seems to be happening on the left now also. Those on the left over these
past years were provided with so much emotionally laden factual
support that they felt they need look no further as they supported the
cause of their choice.  Neither media promoted side respects its
followers.  One of the leaders on the political side of the New Age
movement stated they have something for everyone.  It takes much
persistence to discover how those somethings link to New Age.  As David
Spangler, a New Age spokeman wrote, the movement was first tried with a
disciple on the Rhine, but this time things wouldn't go the same way
they thought.  Enough said on that.

The issues to be explored go far beyond surface discussion of
homosexuality, abortion, the feminist movement, Israel, the EU, etc. and
other publicized topics.  I look forward to checking out the links you
have suggested.  By the way, I was using the word fascism as it is used
by Prof. Gene Veith in his book Modern Fascism.

 I sent Mark's post to a number of people.  Here is a response from one

 of them:

 Fascism is based on the ideal of National SOCIALISM. The only real
 difference between a Nazi and a Communist is that a Nazi believes that

 socialism can be achieved in a single nation while a communist
 believes that a global socialist state is need to fully implement
 socialist tyranny.

IMO, the idea that National Socialism was genuine socialism (as the left
sees it, anyway), and the idea that National Socialism was the
capitalist world's defence against socialism are BOTH bullshit hoaxes,
perpetrated by the ideologues of left and right on eachother.  these
arguments are a disease of those who need to think in dualistic terms.
however, i have recently been tilting somewhat to the opinion that the
absolute categorization of the nazis as right wing is a distortion of
history by the left (especially trotskyists, who have abused the very
word fascism into oblivion by using it as a facile verbal weapon
against any ideology they don't like, whether or not it accurately
fits).  this is certainly the case if one equates fascism with late
capitalism, which has always been a cheapshot marxist canard.  the nazi
party platform was very heavily collectivist and strongly espoused a
planned as opposed to a market economy, and there was a notable
anti-capitalist element in both the nazi platform and many right-wing
nationalist movements of the time (a competitive, free-market system,
whatever it's real flaws may be, was seen as the enemy because it gave
an undesired equality to outsiders and thus weakened the volk).  a
more perceptive and fair way to look at the nazi regime was as a
rendition of what james burnham called the managerial society, which
was neither capitalism nor socialism, and in fact is antithetical to
both in important ways.  it is this managerial state which is the real
agenda of the wall st. so-called capitalists who supported hitler (and
some of whom, such as the rockefellers, had earlier supported the rise
of the bolsheviks, who created what burnham also considered to be a
managerial society). http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/burnham.html

Mark, I think your comments have been answered in a better way by others
than I could do.  However, I would like to add a few comments of my own.


-
Mark:Regardless of their party's name or the original beliefs of some of
their members,
Z: The I think the true believers among the communists are saying the
same thing...Real communism wasn't tried by those calling themselves
communists, etc.

Mark: the actual facts of Nazism and Italian and Japanese Fascism is
that they were financed by (some) wealthy businessmen and they served
the interests of wealthy businessmen.
Z:  The Thule Society made sure that the Nazi movement financially got
off the ground. (See the Pool book you list at the end of your post.)
Capitalists supporting the Nazis?  No doubt about that.  It still goes
on.  The Bill Gates Foundation is listed on ngws.org (New Group of World
Servers, part of Lucis Trust, a very occultic, New Age political
organization.

The German Fascists (Nazis) got most of their financing from
(some) wealthy American businessmen.  After WWII, (some) wealthy
American businessmen, acting through conservative politicians, carried
out assassinations and covert and overt military attacks on dozens of
different nations, to murder exactly the same sorts of pro-human
political leaders that the Nazis murdered.  See the references below.

This person is of the mistaken assumption that profits are evil.

No, it is _excessive_ profits -- those that rob from workers most of the
value of the goods and services they produce -- that are evil.

what he ignores is that the much maligned American capitalist economy
has created more wealth

A great deal of the wealth created by the American capitalist economy
has been accomplished by taking control of third world nations (see the
references below), robbing their natural resources, installing murderous
dictatorial (death-squad) governments, and then using their populations
as slave labor at wages of pennies per hour to grow and manufacture
products for American corporations.  This practice is still going on.
As in New Age is a resurgence of Nazism.

M:Wrong.  Scandinavian and other countries that practice Social
Democracy...have much better distribution of wealth than the U.S.
economy.
Z:  Are you suggesting we should stop all foreign aid, all military aid
to other countries, support of the UN, all humanitarian aide to other
countries, etc. and keep the profits here for the betterment our people?
Coveting again?

M:Sooner or later tyrants and their advocates will divulge their true
motives!  Here Zuukie and (as I'm told) her friends are advocating the
maintenance of economic-class, racial, and gender social barriers, which
can mean nothing less than control of the government, society, and
economy by wealthy white businessmen. This is exactly the agenda of the
Fascists and the businessmen who supported them, for the simple purpose
of maximizing their profits.
Z: Wow.  All that?  Leaping logic 


The gay rights movement isn't about civil rights for homosexuals.
Homosexuals enjoy all the same civil rights as other Americans.

Absolutely false.  Homosexual people are generally not allowed to have
official marriages, and so are denied the various economic and social
rights that such marriages confer, and they are also discriminated
against in employment, housing, etc.

M:Here is the ideal general principle of morality:  Don't harm other
people; do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't harm anyone.
Z:  Wasn't it Crowley the Satanist who said Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be
The Whole of the Law!

Z:  Regarding promoting homosexuality to children, I presume you are in
support of the Diversity Days that are a cover for bringing knowledge of
homosexual practices to school children?

M:Women have been discriminated against in employment and wages, and in
protection by the law ...
Z: For a while in your post you have been confusing what I've written
and what another wrote.  By the way, do you know the difference between
civil law and cultural custom?  Could it be that the feminist movement
drove women into the workplace where they earn less than the men would
who would be holding the same jobs, making more money for the dreaded
capitalists?  When women weren't in the workplace, they were also busy
keeping an eye on government activities such as libraries, schools,
local government.  Now that they are in the workplace, who has time to
monitor these groups?  Much volunteer work was done by women, an unpaid
service to the community which kept government money-sucking groups
under check.

Friend:Likewise, these religions are socialist, emphasizing the group
over the
individual. Man exists to serve the state (or the coven, or whatever
group you like).

M:Wicca doesn't make people serve anyone or any thing.  Zuukie and her
bigoted right-wing friends are just making this shit up.

Z:  If you bother to check it out, you will see the very powerful occult
Lucis Trust in its writings says
