Do they both burst, or do they coalesce and become an even bigger bubble - which will eventually burst even more spectacularly? That is the question posed by the growth figures from both the US and China, whose growth rates are tied in ways that neither seems to want to admit too loudly. Even before this week's figures on China's explosive 9.1 percent growth in 2003, which many commentators thought actually understated the reality, the United Nations' annual economic report had identified the People's Republic of China as the locomotive for growth in Asia (with a nod to India), and added that the US with its 4 percent growth rate will do the same job for the industrialized world. But once again, the question must be asked - will these two Chinese and US engines run in the same direction indefinitely, or will they begin to diverge? Indeed, even more scarily, will they have a head-on collision and involve the world economy in the mother of all train-wrecks? The problems have been noted. The UN report cited "the rapid rising weight of China in the world economy and its role in the present recovery," but it also warned that UN economists see a need for the US to reduce its government deficit. That echoed the very trenchant International Monetary Fund (IMF) report that described the deficit as "perilous" in the long run, posing "significant risks" to the rest of the world. IMF economists also cautioned that one should add to the short term a US$500 billion deficit that the US administration is running, a further US$47 trillion in unfunded long-term commitments for US Social Security and the federally funded Medicare health program for the elderly and indigent. And the IMF pointed out that there were additional liabilities from cash-strapped local governments, forced to borrow to compensate for federal cutbacks. On the American trade deficit, the IMF also warned ominously, "The United States is on course to increase its net external liabilities to around 40 percent of its GDP within the next few years - an unprecedented level of external debt for a large industrial country." The report suggested that this situation would push the dollar even further down. On the other side of the Pacific, perhaps it should not be regarded as a token of maturity that the money managers who poured funds into AOL, MCI, Enron and Tyco - all with problems, to say the least - are now pouring millions into Chinese IPOs with the same enthusiasm. It is difficult to see any more economic rationale in the 1,600-times oversubscribed China Green Holdings than the Internet Bubble of the last decade. And now US investment banks are licking their chops at the prospects of taking Chinese Banks public. However, the $45 billion that Beijing has put into two of the Big Four government-owned banks can be seen as a mature appreciation of their problems - or as a symptom of the continuing cronyism and lack of democracy and transparency in the system and a down payment on what Standard Poor's estimates could be up to $600 billion needed to bail out the bad loans. But that little detail probably won't stop Wall Street from rushing to buy if the banks are floated, as Beijing plans. The China Bubble is expanding dangerouslyAt one time, China's autarkic economy protected it from outside influence. But along with this week's figures on economic growth came another ominous big number. From once being nearly self-sufficient in oil, China is now the second biggest oil importer in the world - and is on the verge of needing massive coal imports as well. The China Bubble has expanded to a point where it will soon reach the sharp edges of infrastructural

A recent Zogby poll found that even in red states, which voted for George W. Bush, 32 percent of the public believes that the election was stolen. In blue states, the fraction is 44 percent. Now imagine this: in November the candidate trailing in the polls wins an upset victory but all of the districts where he does much better than expected use touch-screen voting machines. Meanwhile, leaked internal e-mail from the companies that make these machines suggests widespread error, and possibly fraud. What would this do to the nation? Unfortunately, this story is completely plausible. (In fact, you can tell a similar story about some of the results in the 2002 midterm elections, especially in Georgia.) Fortune magazine rightly declared paperless voting the worst technology of 2003, but it's not just a bad technology it's a threat to the republic. First of all, the technology has simply failed in several recent elections. In a special election in Broward County, Fla., 134 voters were disenfranchised because the electronic voting machines showed no votes, and there was no way to determine those voters' intent. (The election was decided by only 12 votes.) In Fairfax County, Va., electronic machines crashed repeatedly and balked at registering votes. In the 2002 primary, machines in several Florida districts reported no votes for governor. And how many failures weren't caught? Internal e-mail from Diebold, the most prominent maker of electronic voting machines (though not those in the Florida and Virginia debacles), reveals that programmers were frantic over the system's unreliability. One reads, "I have been waiting for someone to give me an explanation as to why Precinct 216 gave Al Gore a minus 16022 when it was uploaded." Another reads, "For a demonstration I suggest you fake it." Computer experts say that software at Diebold and other manufacturers is full of security flaws, which would easily allow an insider to rig an election. But the people at voting machine companies wouldn't do that, would they? Let's ask Jeffrey Dean, a programmer who was senior vice president of a voting machine company, Global Election Systems, before Diebold acquired it in 2002. Bev Harris, author of "Black Box Voting" (www.blackboxvoting.com), told The A.P. that Mr. Dean, before taking that job, spent time in a Washington correctional facility for stealing money and tampering with computer files. Questionable programmers aside, even a cursory look at the behavior of the major voting machine companies reveals systematic flouting of the rules intended to ensure voting security. Software was modified without government oversight; machine components were replaced without being rechecked. And here's the crucial point: even if there are strong reasons to suspect that electronic machines miscounted votes, nothing can be done about it. There is no paper trail; there is nothing to recount. So what should be done? Representative Rush Holt has introduced a bill calling for each machine to produce a paper record that the voter verifies. The paper record would then be secured for any future audit. The bill requires that such verified voting be ready in time for the 2004 election and that districts that can't meet the deadline use paper ballots instead. And it also requires surprise audits in each state. I can't see any possible objection to this bill. Ignore the inevitable charges of "conspiracy theory." (Although some conspiracies are real: as yesterday's Boston Globe reports, "Republican staff members of the U.S. Senate Judiciary

An official announcement on the new compensation program, to be administered by the New York-based Claims Conference, is expected to be released during the coming days. A symbolic, one-time compensation of 8,300 DM (about $5,400) will be paid to each of the 1,778 survivors of the medical experiments, who were held in special blocks of the concentration camps set aside for this purpose. Most of these survivors are now in their eighties or older. Another 119 people whose family members died as a result of these experiments are also slated to receive this special compensation. There are 389 survivors of the Nazi medical experiments who now live in Israel; the remaining survivors (or their heirs) are scattered among 33 other countries. The proposal for this special program for the victims of Nazi medical experiments was first made by the Claims Conference in discussions with the German government that resulted in the Program for Former Slave and Forced Laborers, a global compensation agreement signed in 2000. In recent years, the Claims Conference has administered the distribution of payments to Holocaust victims from several humanitarian funds. Some of the money for these funds came from the dormant accounts of Holocaust victims at Swiss banks. The executive vice-president of the Claims Conference, Gideon Taylor, told Haaretz that a major effort was made to locate the surviving victims of Nazi-era medical experiments. Now that this effort has been concluded, he explained, the Claims Conference will begin distributing the compensation payments. Part of this effort also included collecting testimony from the survivors. These testimonies will now be officially published; some of this documentation will be stored at the New York offices of the Claims Conference, and some will be transferred to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. "Until now, there was little historic research focusing on the victims of medical experiments," Taylor said. "The information we found will make a huge contribution to investigating some of the most horrendous events in world history." According to the victims' testimonies, the Nazi doctors carried out 178 different types of experiments on their human subjects in over 30 concentration camps. The most famous case is that of Josef Mengele, a physician and SS officer known as the "Angel of Death" at Auschwitz. Mengele coordinated the "selection" process for those arriving at Auschwitz, and was known for his cruelty and pseudo-medical experiments, particularly those involving twins and midgets. Many of the experiments entailed the amputation of organs without anesthesia. Others experiments included injections of viruses and attempts to find a way to change the color of eyes. Most of the survivors who provided testimony asked to remain anonymous. A., an 83-year-old woman who now lives in Israel, was a prisoner at Auschwitz for two years (1943-45). "The experiment was done on my uterus," she said. "I received an injection in my uterus and, as a result, I suffered from terrible pain for a year and a half, and my uterus shrank to the size of a 4-year-old." One of the victim who agreed to be identified by name, Hyman Torenstein, was the subject of sterilization experiments as a 13-year-old boy in

More on Kerry's MIA Cover-upFrom Mike Benge 1/22/2003John McCreary, a top DIA analyst assigned to John Kerry's Senate SelectCommittee, filed several articles of impeachment against Kerry with theSenate "Ethics' committee, as well as with the BAR in an attempt to getKerry disqualified as a lawyer. One of the charges was that Kerry shreddedclassified documents when he headed the committee. The documents were oflive sightings, and the reason Kerry shredded them is that the documentsobtained by the committee would all feed into the National Archives, andeventually be declassified. By shredding these documents, it allowed theparent agencies, CIA, DIA and DOD, to then reclassify them at NationalSecurity so they would never see th e light of day. I wrote a article onthis in the "Washington Inquirer," published by Accuracy in Media (AIM),and after reading it, Kerry wrote a letter to AIM threatening them with alawsuit on character defamation (it was first of a three part series Iwrote on Kerry). The paper was a weekly, and by the time AIM got theletter my second article was in print with a big picture of Kerrytestifying before Congress, where he called those fighting in Vietnam as"baby killers," and he looked doped out.

Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.), who was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at the time of the disclosure, according to a law enforcement official and congressional sources. A grand jury has been hearing information and has taken the testimony of at least two witnesses, including Shelby's former press secretary, sources said. The investigation centers on the disclosure in 2002 that the National Security Agency had intercepted two messages on the eve of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks signaling that something was to happen the next day. The cryptic messages were not translated until Sept. 12. Shelby has since left the committee and is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. He said in a statement yesterday: My position on this issue is clear and well-known: At no time during my career as a United States Senator and, more particularly, at no time during my service as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have I ever knowingly compromised classified information. To my knowledge, the same can be said about my staff. We have provided the investigation with our full cooperation in the past, and we will continue to do so. The statement said Shelby has had no contact with investigators for more than a year. Shelby's former press secretary, Andrea Andrews, has moved to Texas. Neither she nor her attorney could be reached to comment yesterday. It was unclear yesterday how close the FBI is to concluding its investigation, or for how long it has focused on Shelby. On June 19, 2002, CNN, citing two congressional sources, quoted phrases contained in two classified NSA intercepts from Sept. 10, 2001, that hinted of an impending terrorist operation. The intercepts included the phrases The match begins tomorrow and tomorrow is zero day. This information was revealed by NSA's director, Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael V. Hayden, during a closed session of a joint House-Senate panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks. At the time, Vice President Cheney chastised committee members publicly about the disclosure of sensitive information. Critics said the administration was trying to stop public disclosure of embarrassing information about the lapses in intelligence and security surrounding the attacks. Cheney's criticism prompted the House and Senate intelligence committees to encourage an FBI investigation of themselves. Within two months, FBI agents had the phone records, appointment calendars and schedules of 17 senators and had questioned more than 100 people, including all 37 members of the committee and about 60 staff members. The agents typically asked lawmakers and staff members if they were willing to take polygraph tests. Meanwhile yesterday, Democratic members of key House committees said they were frustrated by a lack of information about another leak investigation: the FBI's probe of who disclosed the identity of a CIA case officer, Valerie Plame, who was undercover. In December, seven members of the House asked the Justice Department for a progress report on the investigation, launched to find out who told columnist Robert D. Novak that Plame is a CIA officer. Plame is married to former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, a prominent critic of the administration's Iraq policies, who concluded during a 2002 CIA-sponsored mission to Africa that there was little evidence Saddam Hussein sought uranium there. Wilson says he believes his wife's identity was disclosed in retaliation for his

At the end of last year Kodak had a workforce of 20,6000 hundred in Rochester. That's down from 2002 when Kodak had 22,000 employees in Rochester. So, where did the jobs go? Most of Rochester's job losses went overseas. Kodak says it has major manufacturing operations in 13 other countries. At Kodak Park, you can't help but notice the empty parking lots. Acres and acres of them. Some of the people who used to work at Kodak may still live in the area but the jobs have gone elsewhere. Just last summer, the last single use camera was made in Rochester and 500 local people lost their jobs. Some found other jobs within Kodak only to face further job cuts. Kodak disposable cameras are now made in Mexico and in China, where workers reportedly are paid as little as a $1.00 an hour. Kodak employs 6,000 people in China. NEWS 10NBC has learned that the company has been outsourcing hundreds of information technology jobs to India. Because they are computer jobs, they can easily be done in a country halfway around the world where the yearly salary may only be one-fifth of what a U.S. Worker earns. In Guadalajara, Mexico, Kodak has a major presence. The manufacturing plant there looks like a smaller Kodak park. No one apparently tracks the number of local jobs lost overseas but according to the state labor department, the six-county Rochester metro area had 129,000 manufacturing jobs in 1990. At the end of last December, that number had shrunk to about 84,000. A net loss of more than 45,000 jobs or about 35 percent. Congresswoman Louise Slaughter late Thursday talked about U.S. Companies shipping jobs overseas in search of cheaper labor costs. 'The companies moved out where they could get people at deplorable wagesI think the wages they got there have never risen above $5.00 a day.' As recently as the 1999 Kodak shareholders meeting, then CEO George Fisher said the company felt it was moving in the right direction. 'And today we're pleased to report as most of you know I hope that 1998 was a pretty good year for Kodak,' But re-structuring had already begun and Fisher acknowledged the impact it was having on the company. 'Oh gosh, we have put people through the ringer. 'And the unfortunate thing is, even though you downsize by say ten percent to use a round number, 90 percent who aren't downsized feel the uncertainty. They see a friend go, they see a relative go, they have a neighbor that lost his job.' Kodak would not share with NEWS 10NBC the actual number of jobs that have been shifted overseas. It does say it has brought a small number of jobs from those countries back to the U.S. and Rochester. http://www.10nbc.com/news.asp?template=itemstory_id=10120 portside (the left side in nautical parlance) is a news, discussion and debate service of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.

Apparently, the dress-down era of central banking has arrived. Gone are the three-piece suits and the silver cufflinks... Gone too is the monetary orthodoxy to which earlier generations of central bankers pledged their allegiance. Orthodoxy is out; expedience is in. During what we may now call the tie era of central banking, the doctrine of price stability was the guiding fashion. But today, price stability is as outmoded as a Half Windsor. The central bankers of the world have decided, en masse, to loosen their collars, sell off their gold reserves, print paper currency and reflate their economies. With every global precinct reporting, writes James Grant in the latest issue of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, the votes are in and counted. The winner is inflation. The world has elected red ink [and] ultra-low interest rates. Ushering inflation to its inaugural ball, says Grant, is the corruption of the international monetary system, of which the dollar bear market is only one unsightly blemish. We are sympathetic to Grant's perspective. But, so far, inflation remains a relatively rare sighting. The U.S. economy, in particular, seems to inhabit a kind of inflationary Eden; a paradise featuring lots of the good inflation rising shares prices but very little of the bad inflation rising beer prices. Just as Greenspan promised, economic growth is reviving and inflation is, to use the chairman's term, quiescent. However, eventually timing uncertain America's massive, accumulated deficits will begin to weigh on economic growth, at which time our quiescent inflation will become a deafening annoyance. But that's a problem for another day. In the here and now, investors will continue buying stock and bonds and whatever else they think will make them money, not worrying about the future value of the money they hope to be making. Will a Big Mac cost $3.00 in 2008 or $30.00; they do not care. Last week, the inflation-indifferent lumpeninvestoriat took a small breather from buying stocks or bonds or dollars. (But they did buy a little gold). The Dow's eight-week winning streak came to a halt last week, as the blue chip index slipped 32 points to 10,568. The Nasdaq slumped 16 points to 2,123. Meanwhile, the dollar tumbled anew, falling to $1.258 per euro from $1.239 the week before. Gold edged higher to $408.10 from $406.75. The stock market's sell-off may be far from over, according to Dan Denning, editor of Strategic Investment. Keep an eye on the VIX, says Dan. Judging by the recent action in the Volatility Index (VIX), investors are in a collective coma. The lower the VIX, the more complacent investors are... [Therefore], the lower the VIX, the better the chances that the stock market is about to experience a descent. Last Thursday, the VIX hit an 8-year low. At the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Barron's reports, the volatility index, or VIX, closed below 15 for the first time since 1996. VIX is a measure of anticipated market volatility, and traders simply aren't expecting any drama these days -- not when the stock gauges move in such small, soothing steps. The low VIX reading finds ample corroborating evidence in the world at large. Everyone, it seems, is bullish on stocks, while no one, it seems, worries about what might go wrong. For example, even though the world's central bankers have turned their backs on the doctrines of their forbears, very few investors worry about inflation. To the contrary, the lumpeninvestoriat most of whom tossed out their ties in the late 1990s trust in the policies of

This excerpt from his new book continues his educated and experienced observation of the march to disasterl http://www.presentdanger.org/papers/sorrows2003.html The Project Against the Present Danger. Sstanding in Defense of International Law, International Cooperation and Multilateralism November 2003 Sorrows of Empire By Chalmers Johnson The Bush presidency has increased eminent scholar Chalmers Johnson's disillusionment with the role the Bush administration is playing on the global stage as well as at home. In this essay, excerpted from his forthcoming book of the same title (Henry Holt) he develops his argument about the impending sorrows of empires. Johnson is particularly concerned about the increasing militarisation of the United States, the reduction in civil liberties and the economic consequences for the U.S. and its allies. It is reprinted by permission by Foreign Policy in Focus (online at www.fpif.org). Chalmers Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the president of the Japan Policy Research Institute in California. Excerpts: From the moment the United States assumed the permanent military domination of the world, it was on its own--feared, hated, corrupt and corrupting, maintaining order through state terrorism and bribery, and given to megalomaniacal rhetoric and sophistries while virtually inviting the rest of the world to combine against it. The U.S. had mounted the Napoleonic tiger and could not get off. *** Four sorrows, it seems to me, are certain to be visited on the United States. Their cumulative effect guarantees that the U.S. will cease to resemble the country outlined in the Constitution of 1787. First, there will be a state of perpetual war, leading to more terrorism against Americans wherever they may be and a spreading reliance on nuclear weapons among smaller nations as they try to ward off the imperial juggernaut. Second is a loss of democracy and Constitutional rights as the presidency eclipses Congress and is itself transformed from a co-equal executive branch of government into a military junta. Third is the replacement of truth by propaganda, disinformation, and the glorification of war, power, and the military legions. Lastly, there is bankruptcy, as the United States pours its economic resources into ever more grandiose military projects and shortchanges the education, health, and safety of its citizens *** The first Iraq War produced four classes of casualties--killed in action, wounded in action, killed in accidents (including friendly fire), and injuries and illnesses that appeared only after the end of hostilities. During 1990 and 1991, some 696,778 individuals served in the Persian Gulf as elements of Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. Of these 148 were killed in battle, 467 were wounded in action, and 145 were killed in accidents, producing a total of 760 casualties, quite a low number given the scale of the operations. However, as of May 2002, the Veterans Administration (VA) reported that an additional 8,306 soldiers had died and 159,705 were injured or ill as a result of service-connected exposures suffered during the war. Even more alarmingly, the VA revealed that 206,861 veterans, almost a third of General Schwarzkopf's entire army, had filed claims for medical care, compensation, and pension benefits based on injuries and illnesses caused by combat in 1991. After reviewing the cases, the agency has classified 168,011

Nakano And he went to Yale Law School in New Haven, along with Hilary from 69-73, right up the street from Bones and across the street from Book Snake and then there is this going on - http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m1157/2_61/55411636/p2/article.jhtml?term= In spring 1969 for instance, New Haven, Connecticut, chief of police James Ahern authorized his intelligence squad to establish wiretaps on Panther homes, despite a state law prohibiting the use of electronic listening devices. The New Haven police listened without acting while a known FBI informant compelled members to torture and ultimately murder a suspected police informant. In the winter of the same year in Chicago, FBI agent Roy Mitchell passed on information to the Chicago police that was used in a predawn raid that claimed the lives of Panther leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. After the police laid the ground work, the FBI along with the courts legitimized their actions. The permissive environment therefore extended from the cop on the beat and the FBI agent in the field to the state and federal court system, all designed to neutralize political agitators. This phenomena is described best by Chicago policemen Howard Saffold in the Eyes on the Prize series as "open season," when police did not have to worry about the law. The government used the trials to remove potentially threatening influences from circulation and, at times, applied a "Garveyesque" strategy of steeping black political agitators in legal trouble. The goal was to decimate the membership of these organizations with an eye toward disruption. The motives of the federal government were not invisible, and by 1970, many prominent Americans spoke out to denounce what was happening. Referring to the trial of several Black Panthers in New Haven in 1970, for instance, Yale University president Kingman Brewster angered vice president Spiro Agnew and many others in the government when he expressed his doubts that a black revolutionary could receive a fair trial in the United States.

Please broadcast as widely as possible to as many groups as possible. This is a message to all people regardless of color: Leonard Peltier PO Box 583 Lawrence, KS 66044 http://www.leonardpeltier.org Leonard Peltier Defense Committee January 23, 2004 Hau Kola, Hello my friends, my relatives: You can never imagine the heartfelt comfort it brings to know you're not forgotten in prison. This is my 28th year, and I've seen others come and go and return again. I can't help but feel a great sorrow for many of these young men who keep coming back for one reason or another; most of which are alcohol-related offenses. So much has changed since I came here and yet, in many ways, it's still the same. The government, under the pretext of security and progress, liberated us from our land, resources, culture, dignity and future. They violated every treaty they ever made with us. I use the word "liberated" loosely and sarcastically, in the same vein that I view their use of the words "collateral damage" when they kill innocent men, women, and children. They describe people defending their homeland as terrorists, savages and hostiles, and accuse us of being aggressors. We have never fought a battle or war that was not on our own land; we never fired the first shot ... ever. My words reach out to the non-Indian: Look now before it's far too late - see what is being done to others in your name and see what destruction you sanction when you say nothing. Your own treaty, the one between yourselves and the government, is being violated daily; this treaty is commonly known as the Constitution. With us, they started a little at a time, encroaching on our rights until we had none at all. It will be the same for the Constitution; this is not conjecture, but fact. We are not embattled with the color of man, but with the weakness of man, a mindset that lusts for power and wealth at the expense of life. Men of all colors, cultures and religions must stand together to oppose the genocidal policies that face us all as the corporate world seeks to enslave all, and pit one nation against another. If you avoid breaking laws and do what you're told and ignore the poor, the oppressed and the downtrodden - you probably won't be bothered. If you try to right what is wrong, however, you will surely meet great opposition and run the risk of imprisonment or death. I am a Sun Dancer. I took a vow for my people. I chose to seek the Creator's will and to follow it to the best of my ability. I WILL NOT STAND DOWN FROM THAT VOW. I will continue to speak, write and organize until Grandfather himself quiets my life. If I can do this in prison, I have no doubt you can do much better from where you stand. I encourage you to do your best, be kind to one another, seek harmony and balance with all natural life, enjoy what freedom you have left, and most of all, never, never give up.

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Where Did all the Kodak Jobs Really Go?
-Caveat Lector- The way it was reported in the papers here is that the job layoff came because Kodak had to work with the change to digital photography. Here in Chicago we have story after story about companies sending jobs to other countries. Primarily I'm socially conservative, but I think we have to face that two things are happening. There is corporate consolidation taking place. Fewer and fewer independent companies and more under single banner corporations with many subgroups. Then there are what Democrats call tax cuts to the rich, which seem to be tax cuts not for individuals who will use that money to start jobs in the US, but who use that money to support where they can gain the largest profit, from corporation who send their jobs overseas. Middle and lower class people who get money back from the tax cuts are supposed to spend that money to keep the economy up. People in the US have an ideal of economic prosperity which they believe is sustained by their own efforts. Go to college, work hard, and you entitled to a two car garage next to a nice large home or condo in the suburbs. It's why people have come here from other countries, for that opportunity. This is not going to continue under the new one-world plan when income is to be equalized across the world. The more corporate consolidation that takes place, so much more smoothly the transition will be to a two tier system where there will be those who have the power and those who do not, and individuals who want to be part of the power structure better not think they have any freedom of speech. No more middle class. Social conservatism will fall victim to this system. Abortion and euthanisa will delete the unproductive. Homosexuality, because it produces no new mouths will be acceptable. Animal rights will transfer normal compassion for humanity to animals. The environmental concerns will supplant concern for humans. The move from monotheism (Judaism, Christianity) will be replaced by New Age spirituality without morality. (You can feel good about yourself without having responsibility for anything.) And so the change taking place goes. This commentary may seem a long way from Kodak sending jobs overseas, but I don't believe in missing the woods picture while concentrating on the trees in the woods. Right now Bush appears to be an unknowledgeable flunky. Heaven knows his image of one of sincere. I see no Democrat who has integrity, who doesn't buy into the one-world line. If someone appeared on the tube who claimed to be a savior of America, I would probably run for the hills, knowing that he/she was a set up. The bottom line is that we will probably have to go through much destruction for many years with very few of us surviving because the one-world system doesn't work where human nature is concerned. Another reason I have very little hope for the future is that I see people hidden in their own little created caves, hoping the world passes them by without their putting out any effort to help the community at large. Oh well, some did survive the Nazi holocaust of Jews, Germans, Polish people, Christians, and other groups. Wishing is as good as working for those who survive, but for the others... -Original Message- From: Conspiracy Theory Research List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nakano Nakamura Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2004 2:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Where Did all the Kodak Jobs Really Go? -Caveat Lector- --- Kris Millegan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where did all the Kodak jobs go?

Eight years after filing his original lawsuit, Jean-Paul Larabie was granted the chance to have his case heard by Ontario's highest court. He's suing two religious brothers who worked at the St. Joseph's Training School in Alfred during his four-year stay at the school in the early 1950s." "A reconciliation agreement between the province, the archdioceses of Ottawa and Toronto, the Christian Brothers of Ottawa and Toronto and Helpline paid a total of about $16 million in compensation to about 265 victims in 1992.

""Now it is Sir Roy who is in the dock of public and professional opinion: the existence of Munchausen's syndrome by proxy is being questioned; Sir Roy is to be investigated by the General Medical Council, the doctors' governing body, and Lord Goldsmith, the Attorney General, is to examine dozens, if not hundreds, of criminal convictions to see if more mothers have been wrongly convicted of killing their children." "Munchausen's syndrome sufferers fake symptoms of illness and will travel from hospital to hospital to secure surgical and medical procedures for illnesses they do not have, simply to get attention. Munchausen's syndrome by proxy is a more sinister variant of Munchausen's syndrome, in which parents - almost always the mother - replicate or even cause symptoms of illness in their children, simply to draw attention to themselves." "Dr Marcovitch is in no doubt that Munchausen''s syndrome by proxy exists. He points to a recent study of UK paediatricians carried out by the British Paediatrics Surveillance Unit which found that doctors were discovering between one and two cases of the syndrome annually per million head of population.
