[CTRL] Voxfux: Propaganda - Theory and Practice
-Caveat Lector- http://memes.org/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=1391mode=threadorder=0thold=0 Theory: Propaganda - Theory and PracticePosted by: valis on Dec 13, 2002 - 10:56 PM by voxfux - Here's how it's done.With 70% of all capital and human resources that the US government devotes to a given geostrategic objective, going to psychological operations, the propaganda which these Psy-ops are comprised of can be called the single most significant component of what it means to be an American. The level of propaganda is now so, all encompassing, that it becomes safe to say that the totality of American life is merely a simulation. It has been predicted by philosophers and sociologists from Beaudrilliard to McLuhan that this simulation would be our new reality soon. Voxnyc will be bringing you a series on propaganda. Most people associate propaganda with advertising, with partisan opinion heard on talk shows, or with a zealous Sunday morning radio preacher. Indeed, all of these are forms of propaganda, but for the most part they are the least harmful kind because the audience recognizes them as such. The advertiser, for example, clearly wants to sell something, and is trying to keep a particular product or service on the minds of the audience or to make it more appealing to potential consumers. Political commentary is nearly always recognized as such, and while it is intended to persuade its audience, it is far more useful as a means to inform or inspire those already in agreement with the speaker. And audiences likewise recognize that religious programming is intended as much to motivate followers to take a particular course of action (such as donating money) as it is to change the spiritual orientation of non-believers. Thus, they are convinced to embrace the ideas of the speakers or to follow their instructions only if they are already inclined to do so.But there are other types of communication that are far more intrusive -- precisely because audiences tend not to recognize them as propaganda.One example might be false or incomplete news reporting, presented as truth or objective fact. Reports that war has broken out nearby or that a highly-contagious and deadly disease is spreading among the local population would certainly produce a more immediate reaction among large numbers of people than would a commercial for a "new and better" laundry soap or a preacher s plea for money to keep himself on the air.Another way in which propaganda can turn around an unwilling audience is through the process of repetition. At the end of World War II, for example, the people of the United States were not inclined to worry very much about an invasion by the Soviet Union. After all, the Russians had been America s allies during the war. But as the country launched the most massive arms build- up in the history of the world, the Soviet "threat" was stressed again and again -- by government operatives and military leaders, who were soon joined by vast numbers of private organizations, political commentators, intellectuals, entertainers, and, of course, the news media. Though the messages may have differed from one another -- and probably even more so because they did -- the sheer volume of these warnings and the diversity of the sources involved served to confirm in people s minds the reality of the threat. Slogans like "the iron curtain" helped audiences to visualize the "danger." And by the 1950s, bomb shelters and air raid drills were added to the psychological arsenal -- orchestrated not so much to protect the country as to bring about active participation and thus to raise the level of hysteria. The resulting climate of fear justified rapid expansion of military research and arms stockpiling, as well as active combat in far-away places like Korea. Indeed, it was not until people actually saw the brutality of battle on their television screens during the Vietnam conflict that the notion of a "defensive" war on the far side of the globe began to be questioned. So profound, in fact, was the impact of propaganda in the anti-communist era that even after the collapse of the USSR, a large part of the population still wants to believe that America "survived" a great crisis.Indeed, as can be seen from the cold war generally -- and from such incidents as the Cuban missile crisis -- intensive, long-term propaganda tends to be self-fulfilling. Like the arms race that accompanied it, the anti-Soviet mania helped hostilities to flourish and multiply.And while the propaganda of the anti-communist era was designed to facilitate the development of a global US military presence, other types of propaganda are directed more toward social behavior or group loyalties. This was the case in later years of the cold war, when the ideological battleground shifted from Europe to the developing or "non-aligned" world.

Put together a handsome documentary withan original musical score that presents Islam's prophet Muhammadin the most glowing manner, indeed, as a model of perfection.Round up Muslim and non-Muslim enthusiasts to endorse thenobility and truth of his message.Splice in vignettes of winsome American Muslims testifying to thejustice and beauty of their Islamic faith. Then get the U.S. taxpayerto help pay for it.Show it at prime time on the most high-minded TV network. Oh, andscreen it at least once during the holidays, when anyone out ofsynch with Christmas might be especially susceptible to anotherreligion's appeal.This is precisely what the producers of "Muhammad: Legacy of aProphet" have done. In a documentary The Washington Post calls"absorbing, . . . enjoyable and informative," exotic images of thedesert and medieval miniatures mix with scenes of New York Cityand the American flag. Born- and convert-American Muslims speakaffectingly about their personal bond to their prophet.The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) will premiere this two-hourdocumentary across the nation tomorrow night, then repeat it inmost areas.The film's largest tranche of funding comes from the Corporation forPublic Broadcasting, a private, nonprofit corporation created byCongress that in fiscal 2002 received $350 million in taxpayers'funds.The heart of the film consists of nine talking heads competing witheach other to praise Muhammad the most extravagantly. Not one ofthem criticizes him.Some of their efforts are laughable, as when one commentatordenies allegations about Muhammad contracting a marriage ofconvenience with a rich older woman named Khadija: "He deeply,deeply loved Khadija." Oh, and his many marriages were "an act offaith, not of lust." How could anyone know this?Other apologetics are more consequential. What Muhammad did forwomen, viewers learn, was "amazing" - his condemning femaleinfanticide, giving legal rights to wives, permitting divorce andprotecting their inheritance rights. But no commentator is so impoliteas to note that however admirable this was in the 7th century,Muslim women today suffer widely from genital mutilation, forcedmarriages, purdah, illiteracy, sexual apartheid, polygamy and honorkillings.The film treats religious beliefs - such as Muhammad's "NightJourney," when the Quran says he went to heaven and entered thedivine presence - as historical fact. It presents Muslim wars as onlydefensive and reluctant, which is simply false. All this smacks of afilm shown by missionaries.Move to the present and the political correctness is stifling.Hostility is said to be "hurled" at American Muslims since 9/11 - butthere's no mention about the prior and vastly greater (foreign)Muslim hostility "hurled" at Americans, killing several thousand. Thenarrator exaggerates the number of American Muslims,overestimates their rate of growth and wrongly termsthem the country's "most diverse" religious community.But these are details. "Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet" is anoutrage on two main counts.* PBS has betrayed its viewers by presenting an airbrushed anduncritical documentary of a topic that has both world historical andcontemporary significance. Its patronizing film might be fine for anIslamic Sunday school class, but not for a national audience.For example, PBS ignores an ongoing scholarly reassessment ofMuhammad's life that disputes every detail - down to the centuryand region Muhammad lived in - of its film. This is especially oddwhen contrasted with the 1998 PBS documentary, "From Jesus toChrist," which focuses almost exclusively on the work of cutting-edge scholars and presents the latest in critical thinking on Jesus.* The U.S. government should never fund a documentary whoseobvious intent is to glorify a religion and proselytize for it.

Lockheed Martin Corporationhad 23 contracts worth $27 million; the Schafer Corporation had 9 contractstotaling $15 million. Other prominent contractors involved in the TIAprogram include SRS Technologies, Adroit Systems, CACI Dynamic Systems,Syntek Technologies, and ASI Systems International.TIA itself was first proposed by an employee of a private contractor. JohnPoindexter, who worked on DARPA projects for Syntek, an Arlington, Va.-basedtechnical and engineering services firm, suggested the program in the wakeof the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Poindexter, who headed theNational Security Council during the Reagan administration, was convicted in1990 on five felony counts for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal. Theconvictions were overturned in 1991 because he had been given immunity forhis testimony during the congressional investigation of the affair. On Jan.14, 2002, he returned to the government as the director of the InformationAwareness Office.TIA draws heavily on the private sector. Five of the eight contractorsidentified by the Center are involved in evaluating future contracts for theprogram. Grey E. Burkhart, an associate of Booz Allen Hamilton, identifieshimself on his resume as assistant project manager of TIA systemimplementation. Even the phrase Total Information Awareness has a privatepedigreeVisual Analytics, Inc., a Poolesville, Md.-based software developerand DARPA contractor, has applied for a trademark for the phrase.In addition, the Center found that at least 24 universities received almost$10 million during the last five years to do research on TIA-relatedprojects. Some of the largest grants went to Cornell University, ColumbiaUniversity and University of California, Berkeley and dealt with the TIA'slanguage translation program, Translingual Information Detection,Extraction, and Summarization.DARPA doesnt do any of its own research, Jan Walker, a spokeswoman forthe agency, told the Center. She also said that DARPA doesnt requireprivate contractors to share their research solely with DARPA. Thegovernment benefits when there are commercial applications [from DARPAresearch] because it keeps the cost down, she said. Any limitations oncommercial use are negotiated on a case by case basis, she said, addingthat, Many of the things DARPA does have commercial applications.DARPA employs 240 people and oversees a budget of roughly $2 billion,according to its Website. It relies heavily on outside contractors. Some actas systems engineering technical assistance, or SETA contractors, whoassist DARPA in managing the efforts and representing the program withCongress, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the military servicesand/or involved unified commander. Typical projects involve five to tencontractors, two universities, and budgets between $10 and $40 million.DARPAs Website also notes that the best program managersthe agencysemployees who oversee the contractorshave always been freewheeling zealotsin pursuit of their goals A lack of oversightCongress, which exercises oversight of the executive branch and themilitary, has not held a single public hearing on TIA and sources on theHill suggested that members know little about it. In a Nov. 22, 2002,letter, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) asked the inspector general of theDefense Department to conduct a complete and thorough review of the TIAprogram. Noting that available information regarding TIA was notsufficient, Grassley wrote that [the Defense Departments] comments (aboutDARPA) only provide few answers and invite many more questions.Grassley questioned the parameters and scope of TIA, how Poindexter wasselected to head it, and what protections are in
[CTRL] THE PHILIPPINES AND THE U.S. HEGEMONIC THRUST AND WARS OF INTERVENTION AND AGGRESSION
-Caveat Lector- http://www.yonip.com/YONIP/Articles/hegemony.html THE PHILIPPINES AND THE U.S. HEGEMONIC THRUST AND WARS OF INTERVENTION AND AGGRESSION Congressman Crispin Beltan Bayan Muna Party List Represenative Chairman,Kilusang Mayo Uno Chairperson, International League for People's Struggles (ILPS) Keynote address before the Founding Assembly and Launching of ILPS-Philippines August 1, 2002 Miriam College, Quezon City In the wake of the end of the Cold War, U.S. imperialism has come out clearly as the sole superpower with an overweening arrogance. But the world capitalist system is reeling from a grave economic crisis, the worst since the end of the second inter-imperialist war. Even before the Sept. 11 attack, the Bush regime was already agitating for an increase in military production as a way to revive the U.S. economy. In this connection, he has been warmongering and threatening and launching attacks of aggression against countries labeled by the U.S. as "rogue" states. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the U.S. has used these as pretext for launching a war of aggression against Afghanistan, threatening other countries(the 'axis of evil' and 12 countries 'harboring terrorists') and undertaking massive war preparations. In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 events in the U.S., the imperialists and their reactionary lackeys in client countries have launched a new offensive against the people's democratic rights under the pretext of waging a 'war against terrorism.' The U.S. has seized on the Sept. 11 events to wage aggressive wars and thereby accomplish their geopolitical objectives to establish control of strategic areas in the Middle East, Central Asia and Southeast Asia. It has also taken the lead in imposing draconian measures that further infringe on the democratic rights of the people and to suppress any opposition to their anti-people policies. We have seen U.S. military intervention and aggression in the Balkans, Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia. We have seen the state terrorism of the U.S. violating International Humanitarian Law, disregarding and misappropriating UN resolutions. It even launched aggression under various pretexts, such as "human rights", "humanitarian mission", and "peacemaking." This war is a continuation of the economic terrorism of IMF-World Bank and WTO by military means. It is aimed at suppressing the peoples that wage revolution, the nations that fight for liberation and the countries or governments that assert national independence. The US is overconfident that it can carry out acts of aggression unilaterally or with the aid of its imperialist allies. But these allies are becoming wary of the propensity of the U.S. to undertake unilateral actions, its hysterical bellicosity and its extreme voracity in grabbing most of the spoils. The U.S. is sowing the ground for violent contradictions among the imperialist powers themselves. "Free market" globalization has victimized most grievously the oppressed peoples and nations. But it has also weakened the puppet rulers. The loot to share among the competing reactionaries has diminished. Thus, they tend to become more violent in their political rivalry. They have become more corrupt and repressive than ever before. The U.S. Hegemonic Drive in the Region Let me cite a recently formulated strategy of U.S. imperialism to further expand its hegemonic drive in the world, particularly in Central Asia and the Asia-Pacific Region. Called the Quadrennial Defense Review 2001, this study states that America's overseas presence, concentrated in Western Europe and Northeast Asia "is inadequate for the new strategic environment, in which U.S. economic and security interests are global and potential threats in other areas of the world are emerging." The new strategic environment of course refers to one that is favorable to the global trade and investments of U.S. monopoly capitalism. Based on this strategic environment, QDR 2001 calls for a more aggressive U.S. global security posture, a "political-military" offensive different from what Bush officials call the Clinton administration's purely "defensive" stance. Accordingly, the U.S. global military posture will be reoriented to : " (a) develop a basing system that provides greater flexibility for U.S. forces in critical areas of the world, placing emphasis on additional bases and stations beyond Western Europe and Northeast Asia; (b) providee temporary access to facilities in foreign countries that enable U.S. forces to conduct training and exercises in the absence of permanent ranges and bases; (c) redistribute forces and equipment based on regional deterrence requirements; (d) provide sufficient mobility, including airlift, sealift, prepositioning, basing infrastructure, alternative points of debarkation, and new logistical concepts of operations, to conduct expeditionary operations in distant theatres against adversaries" In another earlier report, the 1995

-Caveat Lector- start with http://www.google.com/search?q=wright-patterson%2Cinterface%2Cwetwarehl=enlr=ie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8 While Electro-Optic Counter Measure (EOCM) systems appear to be the best answer to the proliferation of battlefield EO systems, they have attracted substantial criticism from groups such as the Helsinki-based Human Rights Watch because of their potential to temporarily or permanently blind humans. In a 1995 report, the group identified ten US laser weapons systems under development, such as the Saber 203, that it claimed could be used to blind humans.

This system is reportedly designed to impair the vision of enemy soldiers and was deployed with US forces to Somalia in 1995.

[CTRL] ODD DEVICES IN THE DEEP (WAS 'Eyes in the Sky')
-Caveat Lector- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: An increasing number of federal agencies are pursuing plans to use pilotless surveillance aircraft to help patrol the Mexican and Canadian borders, protect the nation's major oil and gas pipelines and aid in other homeland security missions. Oil companies and mercenary companies http://www.google.com/search?q=%22oil+companies%22%2C%22executive+outcomes%22%2C%22sandline+international%22hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8 ~ http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/special/chron10001/912004 June 28, 2001, 11:05AM CHRONICLE 100: ODD DEVICES IN THE DEEP Deep-water drilling's cast of characters: pigs, crabs, pikes By NELSON ANTOSHCopyright 2001 Houston Chronicle Before the summer is over, Shell Oil will start remotely launching pigs into a flow line stretching from an oil well to its new Auger platform in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Pigs in this case are slugs made out of plastic, with scraper ridges front and rear, that are used to clean out pipelines. Originally designed for the military as a mine-clearing device, this crablike robot is searching for potential uses in the oil patch. The problem is getting pigs into a flow line in water too deep for divers, without spending a fortune doing it. The remotely operated, diverless, subsea pig launcher may provide a low-cost solution to a nasty problem -- flow lines in deep water that require pigging because after a while they become clogged, much like an artery filled with cholesterol. Typically, in water that is several thousand feet deep, the pigs run in a loop with pumps. This circular route brings the pigs from the well and back into the deep waters. The Shell plan is different because it would use a single flow line, providing savings estimated at $21 million per project. This savings is just for reduced cost of the installation. It doesn't include the long-term cost of single vs. round-trip pigging, said Jim Hale of Shell's deep water execution group, speaking at the Offshore Technology Conference. The trick to putting in just one line is getting the pigs down to the wellhead. Shell's cagelike device, complete with a cartridge full of pigs, is lowered until it sits on the wellhead on the sea floor. The concept came from Houston's Oceaneering International. Working almost like an automatic gun, it will drop a pig into a chamber and then send it on its way with a puff of natural gas, to be pushed farther along by the flow of oil as it clears out the buildup from a variety of sources. For instance, Shell's Serrano well has waxy condensates in the natural gas, while its Oregano well nearby is an asphaultic type of crude, which also creates a gunky buildup, Hale said. The launcher will hold nine pigs, which the designers calculate will be enough to keep this particular line clean for a year. After that, it can be reloaded using an ROV, or remotely operated vehicle, that does tasks where divers don't dare to go. A robot well-crawler Drillers have found ways to drill wells that slant, go horizontal and even turn. But the technology for getting tools into those holes hasn't kept pace. A long, thin robot that can crawl miles into the earth down a borehole, do a job and then crawl back to the surface promises to help solve that problem. Called the MicroRig, the robot differs from other "downhole tractors" because it doesn't trail electric wires, which too often pull apart. Furthermore, it can force its way down a well flowing as much as 5,000 barrels per day through a 3 1/2-inch diameter pipe, according to Joe Donovan of Intelligent Inspection Corp., which is working with Halliburton to commercialize Micro-Rig and other robots. Powered by batteries, it grips the walls of the pipe with what look like rotating bicycle chains. A computer brain tells it what to do and helps it avoid getting stuck. It sees when it is getting into trouble, he said. For instance, it knows what a spit pipe looks like and can spot it with eyes that are 11 feet ahead of the traction units. The first tasks will be relatively simple, such as measuring temperatures and pressures in a well, at depths where communication is nearly impossible. Later, and it may take years to get there, the robot should be able to open and close the downhole valves used in smart-well technology. MicroRig should be a real cost-saver in slanting or horizontal wells, Donovan said. Putting something down a vertical well is relatively easy, but in horizontal wells it has to be pushed with a coiled tubing unit that is bulky and expensive to use, especially if the well is offshore. Crab, fish serve as models Limited only by their imagination, oil companies are getting a shot at some weird helpers in doing their tough jobs at the bottom of the sea. These include a 2-foot-wide, 40-pound vehicle modeled after a crab, and a 3-foot-long mechanical fish that was modeled after a pike. The crab could be used for running seismic lines or laying cable, while the fish could swim along
[CTRL] Agencies see homeland security role for surveillance drones
-Caveat Lector- http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/1202/121202sia.htm December 12, 2002 Agencies see homeland security role for surveillance drones By Richard H.P. Sia, CongressDaily An increasing number of federal agencies are pursuing plans to use pilotless surveillance aircraft to help patrol the Mexican and Canadian borders, protect the nations major oil and gas pipelines and aid in other homeland security missions. Incoming Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, R-Va., said in an interview Tuesday that he will ask President Bush to explore the possible deployment of such aircraft, known as unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, by civilian agencies responsible for homeland security. The drones would be similar to those used in high-profile missions by the CIA and U.S. military to target suspected Taliban and al Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan. But unlike many of the UAVs deployed overseas, such as the one that fired a missile at a carload of suspected terrorists in Yemen last month, the drones flown for homeland security operations would not be armed with weapons, only cameras or sensors, several federal officials said. I think it would be very important that the president initiate a study on the future use of UAVs by elements of the federal government other than the military, Warner said. Warner said he believes UAVs could be an effective means of watching the home front in the war on terror. But he acknowledged that theyre quite intrusive. Warner said concerns about individual privacy, such as those raised when the Pentagon offered to do aerial surveillance during the recent hunt for the Washington-area snipers, are an open issue and should be addressed by the [presidents] study. Among the agencies now committed to deploying UAVs are the Coast Guard and Border Patrol, both of which are moving to the Homeland Security Department. Other non-Defense Department agencies, such as the Transportation Department, are in the early stages of exploring possible security roles for drones. Meanwhile, the Energy Department, which set up a UAV program in 1993 to study clouds and climate change, has been developing high-altitude instruments to measure radiation in the atmosphere. Despite an industry rumor that the FBI is looking into UAVs at its Quantico, Va. facilities, an agency spokesman said there is no such activity. Drones, which are controlled remotely on the ground, can hover over an area for hours, sometimes days, to provide accurate and timely information. In the war on terror, the military and CIA have used UAVs for reconnaissance, surveillance, targeting, bomb damage assessment and telecommunication relays over hostile areas, without risking the lives of aircrews. San Diego-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. has supplied the Predator, which can operate up to 25,000 feet, compared to the 40,000-foot ceiling of commercial airplanes. Northrop Grumman Corp. of Los Angeles has produced the still-experimental Global Hawk, which can fly up to 66,000 feet and rival the venerable U-2 spy plane in reconnaissance capabilities. Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, interest in UAVs among federal agencies has swelled, industry sources said. Theres been a lot more activity over the last couple of months, said one manufacturing executive who asked not to be named. Its been really intense. Were doing things now that we wouldnt have been doing a year ago. These [UAVs] are hot, said Daryl Davidson, executive director of the Association for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems International. Marketers for Boeing, Northrop Grumman and other top U.S. defense firms have been busy talking to agencies about civilian applications of UAV technology, he said. Indeed, Boeing, which received a defense contract earlier this year to develop a fuel-cell propulsion system for UAVs, hopes to sell to civilian agencies high-endurance drones that can fly for weeks instead of days, said Chick Ramey, a company spokesman. Lockheed Martin has been shopping around its small Sentry Owl, which the Air Force has used to provide surveillance at air bases, as a tool for property monitoring and pipeline security. At the Transportation Department, Ellen Engleman, administrator for Research and Special Programs, said she will host a conference on UAVs and transportation security early next year. Her agency began working with NASA nearly four years ago to develop high-altitude sensors, at first to monitor traffic flow and help highway planners but also now to follow trucks carrying hazardous cargo and watch for irregular activity at major pipelines, according to her spokesman, James Mitchell. UAVs could be very valuable to enhancing security, as long as you can get a real or near-real time look at the pipes with some sensors that can detect irregular activity, Mitchell said. At Englemans direction last April, the agency solicited research proposals for using UAVs to monitor pipelines but so far has

[CTRL] The Aurora
-Caveat Lector- http://www.memes.org/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=1394mode=threadorder=0thold=0 Government: The AuroraPosted by: souljah on Dec 15, 2002 - 01:57 AM Background Does the United States Air Force or one of America's intelligence agencies have a secret hypersonic aircraft capable of a Mach 6 performance? Continually growing evidence suggests that the answer to this question is yes. Perhaps the most well-known event which provides evidence of such a craft's existence is the sighting of a triangular plane over the North Sea in August 1989 by oil-exploration engineer Chris Gibson. As well as the famous "skyquakes" heard over Los Angeles since the early 1990s, found to be heading for the secret Groom Lake (Area 51) installation in the Nevada desert, numerous other facts provide an understanding of how the aircraft's technology works. Rumored to exist but routinely denied by U.S. officials, the name of this aircraft is Aurora. The outside world uses the name Aurora because a censor's slip let it appear below the SR-71 Blackbird and U-2 in the 1985 Pentagon budget request. Even if this was the actual name of the project, it would have by now been changed after being compromised in such a manner. The plane's real name has been kept a secret along with its existence. This is not unfamiliar though, the F-117a stealth fighter was kept a secret for over ten years after its first pre-production test flight. The project is what is technically known as a Special Access Program (SAP). More often, such projects are referred to as "black programs." So what was the first sign of the existence of such an aircraft? On 6 March 1990, one of the United States Air Force's Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spyplanes shattered the official air speed record from Los Angeles to Washington's Dulles Airport. There, a brief ceremony marked the end of the SR-71's operational career. Officially, the SR-71 was being retired to save the $200-$300 million a year it cost to operate the fleet. Some reporters were told the plane had been made redundant by sophisticated spy satellites. But there was one problem, the USAF made no opposition towards the plane's retirement, and congressional attempts to revive the program were discouraged. Never in the history of the USAF had a program been closed without opposition. Aurora is the missing factor to the silent closure of the SR-71 program. Testing such a new radical aircraft brings immense costs and inconvenience, not just in the design and development of a prototype aircraft, but also in providing a secret testing place for aircraft that are obviously different from those the public are aware of. Groom Dry Lake, in the Nevada desert, is home to one of America's elite secret proving grounds. Here is Aurora's most likely test location. Comparing today's Groom Lake with images of the base in the 1970s, it is apparent that many of the larger buildings and hangars were added during the following decade. Also, the Groom Lake test facility has a lake-bed runway that is six miles long, twice as long as the longest normal runways in the United States. The reason for such a long runway is simple: the length of a runway is determined either by the distance an aircraft requires to accelerate to flying speed, or the distance that the aircraft needs to decelerate after landing. That distance is proportional to the speed at which lift-off takes place. Usually, very long runways are designed for aircraft with very high minimum flying speeds, and, as is the case at Edwards AFB, these are aircraft that are optimized for very high maximum speeds. Almost 19,000 feet of the runway at Groom Lake is paved for normal operations. Lockheed's Skunk Works, now the Lockheed Advanced Development Company, is the most likely prime contractor for the Aurora aircraft. Throughout the 1980s, financial analysts concluded that Lockheed had been engaged in several large classified projects. However, they weren't able to identify enough of them to account for the company's income. Technically, the Skunk Works has a unique record of managing large, high-risk programs under an incredible unparalleled secrecy. Even with high-risk projects the company has undertaken, Lockheed has a record of providing what it promises to deliver. Hypersonic Speed By 1945, only a small amount of jets had the capability of reaching speeds of 500mph. In 1960, aircraft that could exceed 1,500mph were going into squadron service. Aircraft capable of 2,000mph were under development and supposed to enter service by 1965. This was a four-fold increase in speed in two decades. From this, the next logical step was to achieve hypersonic speed. The definition of hypersonic isn't as clearly defined as supersonic, but aerodynamicists consider that the hypersonic realm starts when the air in front of the vehicle's leading edges "stagnates": a band of air is trapped, unable to flow around the vehicle, and reaches extremely high pressures

[CTRL] Some deem the Aurora to be a UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
-Caveat Lector- http://www.memes.org/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=1394mode=threadorder=0thold=0 Government: The AuroraPosted by: souljah on Dec 15, 2002 - 01:57 AM Background Does the United States Air Force or one of America's intelligence agencies have a secret hypersonic aircraft capable of a Mach 6 performance? Continually growing evidence suggests that the answer to this question is yes. Perhaps the most well-known event which provides evidence of such a craft's existence is the sighting of a triangular plane over the North Sea in August 1989 by oil-exploration engineer Chris Gibson. As well as the famous "skyquakes" heard over Los Angeles since the early 1990s, found to be heading for the secret Groom Lake (Area 51) installation in the Nevada desert, numerous other facts provide an understanding of how the aircraft's technology works. Rumored to exist but routinely denied by U.S. officials, the name of this aircraft is Aurora. The outside world uses the name Aurora because a censor's slip let it appear below the SR-71 Blackbird and U-2 in the 1985 Pentagon budget request. Even if this was the actual name of the project, it would have by now been changed after being compromised in such a manner. The plane's real name has been kept a secret along with its existence. This is not unfamiliar though, the F-117a stealth fighter was kept a secret for over ten years after its first pre-production test flight. The project is what is technically known as a Special Access Program (SAP). More often, such projects are referred to as "black programs." So what was the first sign of the existence of such an aircraft? On 6 March 1990, one of the United States Air Force's Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spyplanes shattered the official air speed record from Los Angeles to Washington's Dulles Airport. There, a brief ceremony marked the end of the SR-71's operational career. Officially, the SR-71 was being retired to save the $200-$300 million a year it cost to operate the fleet. Some reporters were told the plane had been made redundant by sophisticated spy satellites. But there was one problem, the USAF made no opposition towards the plane's retirement, and congressional attempts to revive the program were discouraged. Never in the history of the USAF had a program been closed without opposition. Aurora is the missing factor to the silent closure of the SR-71 program. Testing such a new radical aircraft brings immense costs and inconvenience, not just in the design and development of a prototype aircraft, but also in providing a secret testing place for aircraft that are obviously different from those the public are aware of. Groom Dry Lake, in the Nevada desert, is home to one of America's elite secret proving grounds. Here is Aurora's most likely test location. Comparing today's Groom Lake with images of the base in the 1970s, it is apparent that many of the larger buildings and hangars were added during the following decade. Also, the Groom Lake test facility has a lake-bed runway that is six miles long, twice as long as the longest normal runways in the United States. The reason for such a long runway is simple: the length of a runway is determined either by the distance an aircraft requires to accelerate to flying speed, or the distance that the aircraft needs to decelerate after landing. That distance is proportional to the speed at which lift-off takes place. Usually, very long runways are designed for aircraft with very high minimum flying speeds, and, as is the case at Edwards AFB, these are aircraft that are optimized for very high maximum speeds. Almost 19,000 feet of the runway at Groom Lake is paved for normal operations. Lockheed's Skunk Works, now the Lockheed Advanced Development Company, is the most likely prime contractor for the Aurora aircraft. Throughout the 1980s, financial analysts concluded that Lockheed had been engaged in several large classified projects. However, they weren't able to identify enough of them to account for the company's income. Technically, the Skunk Works has a unique record of managing large, high-risk programs under an incredible unparalleled secrecy. Even with high-risk projects the company has undertaken, Lockheed has a record of providing what it promises to deliver. Hypersonic Speed By 1945, only a small amount of jets had the capability of reaching speeds of 500mph. In 1960, aircraft that could exceed 1,500mph were going into squadron service. Aircraft capable of 2,000mph were under development and supposed to enter service by 1965. This was a four-fold increase in speed in two decades. From this, the next logical step was to achieve hypersonic speed. The definition of hypersonic isn't as clearly defined as supersonic, but aerodynamicists consider that the hypersonic realm starts when the air in front of the vehicle's leading edges "stagnates": a band of air is trapped, unable to flow around the vehicle, and reaches extremely high pressures

-Caveat Lector- http://www.memes.org/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=1389mode=threadorder=0thold=0 Memes: Chemtrails, HAARP, September 11, and the AuroraPosted by: souljah on Dec 13, 2002 - 09:19 PM "Of course odd contrails are very much of interest to those people looking for the exotic propulsions, such as Pulsed Wave Detonation (PWD), which has been long associated with Black projects such as the famed Aurora."~Long ago, at the age of fifteen, I read Albert Einstein's General and Special Theories of Relativity. Even then, I had the mind of a bit of a physicist. Call it intuition if you wish, but at that age, before I had ever read of anything like a graviton in my perusings of information on the subatomic zoo, I 'came up with' the term: graviton.Intuition of course, whether or not scientist credits it with even existing, is responsible for many a discovery. Perhaps it is simply a matter of bisociation.About ten years ago, I hypothesized that the best craft one could design for interstellar and/or supra-atmospheric travel would be light enough to 'surf' along the Earth's electromagnetic fields (I was not the first by a long shot). Of course, it would have to be of a material that was HIGHLY conductive of electricity, I thought. Gold?I also thought that a saucer-shaped craft would be ideal for such 'surfing.' This is why the mpeg that was sent to me of a saucer hovering over Mexico City intrigued me: it bounced and wavered in place as if resting on the surface of an ocean (not an ocean of water of course). You, of course, will be wondering what the hell all this has to do with the Aurora, HAARP, 'chemtrails, and September 11.' The following is quoted from MILITARY RESEARCH AGENDAS FOR THE FUTURE"If and when 'Aurora' makes its appearance, it is expected to be able to do upwards of Mach 5 or 6 - it is a hypersonic plane built, according to certain sources, on the 'waverider' principle, utilizing 'pulsed wave detonation engines' that employ a unique means of external combustion. Such a hypersonic plane, even if not radar-invisible, would have little trouble penetrating most air defenses at such velocities, and probably could strike with complete anonymity"This snip brought me to a search for 'pulsed wave detonation.'This search, in turn, brought me to the following snip, taken from Strange Trails in the Sky."Of course odd contrails are very much of interest to those people looking for the exotic propulsions, such as Pulsed Wave Detonation (PWD), which has been long associated with Black projects such as the famed Aurora."Unfortunately, the site does not elaborate on this and I cannot find anything else online regarding it. However, another project associated with 'odd contrails' is HAARP which stands for High Frequency Active AURORAL Research Program. HAARP basically sends an electromagnetic beam upward (after a satellite-bound mirror reflects it, it could be sent ANYWHERE) into the ionosphere in order to cause it to reverberate, like a guitar string. This, in turn, can affect the weather. In fact, its applications are numerous. Of course, if the Aurora exists, and pulsed waves are relevant, then HAARP COULD be used to increase the charge of the ionosphere in order that the Aurora might 'surf' along more easily, not unlike the trains in Japan and Europe that ride on a magnetic field.The following is snipped from Contrail, Chemtrail, or Atmospheric Research?"I once saw photos someone had taken of the skies over the University of Colorado (in Boulder): they showed, apparently recordable by film but relatively invisible to naked eye, lasers - bright red beams across the sky. This person took his own pictures and, in my opinion, had not the technical capabilities to fake them. He often spoke of his readings that he engaged in, trying to decipher his results and he often spoke of mirrors - satellite-bound ones. As I think of that and look at the sky, it sure seems that when these contrails (highly compressed steam?) hit the area of the sky OVER the University of Colorado, they take on a wave effect...~visibly~...like something invisible is hitting it and making them ripple. Some portions even seem to be steaming UPWARD..."They might not be lasers of course.Again, a quote from MILITARY RESEARCH AGENDAS FOR THE FUTURE"Such a hypersonic plane, even if not radar-invisible, would have little trouble penetrating most air defenses at such velocities, and probably could strike with complete anonymity"Given that no one can seemingly agree on the nature of the craft in these images, did not this plane strike with 'complete anonymity' on September 11, 2001?I propose little regarding the answer to this question. I, rather, submit these ideas for further research.Thank you for your time. ~ THE PENTAGON PLANE MATCHES THE AURORA!

-Caveat Lector- One note: tungsten is key in the development of stealth aircraft. Covert Action Quarterly has said that it is tungsten that feuled the Vietnam war. http://www.google.com/search?hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8q=tungsten%2Cvietnam%2C%22covert+action%22 ~ Ultra-secure "non-existent" deployment bases where extremely classified aerospace vehicles are tested and operationally flown, including the Aurora hypersonic spyplane, the Black Manta [TR-3A] stealth fighter follow-on to the F-117A, the Pumpkinseed hyper-speed unmanned aerospace reconnaissance vehicle, and several variants of anti-gravitational craft (U.S.-UFOs). http://truedemocracy.net/td3/shadow/s01.html ~ NARRATOR: Today, the desolate stretches of the Southwest desert are again the site of secret testing. Ninety-four miles north-northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, the military is testing its latest high-tech aircraft, known as the Aurora Project. Mr. AFTERGOOD: Well, one of the more amusing and perverse secrecy dramas today is being played out in Nevada,where there is a secret unacknowledged military facility, which has been used for decades as a test facility for advanced aircraft. Not only does the Air Force refuse to acknowledge the existence of the facility, but they have recently moved to seize several thousand additional acres of public land. http://www.cdi.org/adm/723/transcript.html ~ This is a collection of documents I've gathered from various sources that pretty much sum up the world of conspiracy theory: The Nazi rocket scientists, cattle mutilation, trilateral commission, UFO aliens from Zeta Reticuli, you name it, its all here. I call it "The Octopus" or "the big enchilada". http://www.petry.org/markp/octopus1.htm ~ On this subject, here are some hints for UFO researchers. There are sonic quakes over Southern California that have been traced to an Aurora aircraft and OTHER CRAFT going to Groom Lake, Nevada. If you plot that course backwards, you come to Australia. Check out the underground facilities at Pine Gap, Australia, if you want to know more about one of the hideouts of the "Elite." The research shows that one of these craft flies over 4,000 miles per hour, but one who should know says they can fly over 8,000 miles an hour. That craft can get to Australia quicker than I can get home from work. http://www.abovetopsecret.com/pages/firesky2.html ~ The body of the Aurora is a large, delta-shaped wing. It's suspected that the Aurora may not have any windows because of the extrema speed at which it travels. The Aurora encompasses a new Pulse Wave Detonation (PWD) engine which rather than igniting fuel inside the body of the craft ignites it just out side, adding a good amount of extra speed. The PWD is presently under development at Pratt and Whitney, however we have reason to believe that it's up and running in the Aurora. ~snip~ Speculation about Aurora's existence is heated up by a simply slip of the wrist. In 1984 when an entry in the defense budget mentioned a $2 billion dollar, two-year "Aurora" project it was the break that "black" project watchers were looking for. Pentagon officials did what they do best and denied it was a spy plane. But journalists became suspicious when, a year later, "the Aurora line item vanished as mysterious as it has first appeared." Jane's Aircraft Guide still uses "Aurora" as the name for the secret plane, and it has stuck for ever. Some people have said that the Aurora project is now code-named "Senior Citizen" however no evidence of this has been seen yet. A number of Wall Street defense industry analysts have said for years that they thing Lockheed might be involved in the spy plane business now more than ever. ~snip~ One phenomena which has been connected with the Aurora is the strange "doughnuts on a rope" contrails (see Pic. 5+6) which spread across the skies near Groom Lake, and other places. These "knots" or "doughnuts" are said to form when the fuel is ignited outside the engine (PWD). In a recent trip to NYC one of these contrails was spotted, and photographed, right over the city, suggesting that the Aurora is now flying full-time, and over populated areas. ~snip~ Though to my knowledge there has not been any recent sightings of the Aurora aircraft, there have been a number of sightings of the contrails it leaves behind. On May 2, 1999, the SGRA team viewed, and photographed, the Aurora's contrail over New York City, and while doing so we met and spoke with three witnesses who had seen the aircraft that had made it. They worked in an office building located near Battery Park (at the bottom of Manhattan Island), and their window faced the water and the Atlantic Ocean. http://www.angelfire.com/ct/SGRACT/aurora.html ~ So what was the first sign of the existence of such an aircraft? On 6 March 1990, one of the United States Air Force's Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spyplanes shattered the official air speed record from Los Angeles to Washington's Dulles Airport. There, a
[CTRL] WHEN DICTATORSHIP COMES - How do you know?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.etherzone.com/2002/stang081602.shtml WHEN DICTATORSHIP COMESHOW DO YOU KNOW?By: Alan Stang Most Americans would agree (I hope) that the victims of a totalitarian dictatorship have the moral, if not the legal, right, indeed the obligation, to use any means to overthrow that dictatorship. The only people I can think of who don't, are Christians who misunderstand scripture, especially Romans 13. You would have to look a long time to find somebody who believes that victims of Nazi oppression didn't have the profound, moral right to use any means, from assassination to TNT, to destroy it. Again, if you believe Romans 13 says you must obey a ruler however evil he is and defer to whatever crimes he commits, if, in other words, you believe God is a Nazi, then you are probably one of those people it would take a long time to find. One reason the victims are morally justified in doing whatever they can get away with to liberate themselves is that a dictatorship by definition cancels the rules of normal human association. The main reason such victims may do as they like is that God says believers must replace an evil ruler, and scripture is full of praise for people who do exactly that. We are told to remember Jael with approbation, because she hammered a spike through Sisera's temples while he slept and nailed him to the ground. Not at all the kind of thing a genteel Republican woman would do. So, the question arises, how do you know when a system has become a totalitarian dictatorship, thereby liberating its victims to do whatever they can get away with? What are the signs? When did the Hitler system become totalitarian? That's easy. Hitler imposed a totalitarian dictatorship on Germany on . . . when he . . . Hmm. Notice that even in Hitler's case that isn't an easy question to answer. Suppose we're living in Germany and it is January 30, 1933. That is the day Hitler takes over. Are we living under a dictatorship? No, not yet. Remember that Hitler took power legally. President Paul von Hindenburg appointed him Chancellor. On January 30, 1933, Hitler hadn't yet done anything dictatorial. So, if we start the revolution on that day, we would be wrong. Hitler would have said we were breaking the law, and he would have been right. We do know that somewhere between that day and the day he started World War II in concert with his ally, fellow totalitarian socialist dictator Joe Stalin, September 1, 1939, he did impose a dictatorship on Germany. When? What did he do to make that fatal change? What we are talking about today applies to all totalitarian dictatorships; we are talking about Hitler, because the modern species of insanity known as "liberalism" has assiduously kept the "Nazi threat" alive for its own totalitarian purposes all these years. Early in the 20th century, some observer added the word "totalitarian" to dictatorship to describe a new development in government. Before that time, your typical dictator was satisfied just to run the system with mock elections, or none at all. Today, we call such a system "authoritarian." If you just let the dictator run the government, skim off the graft, live in the palace and make hefty deposits in Switzerland, he will leave you alone. Look at your typical banana republic or Al Capone's Chicago. The totalitarian dictator is not just more of the same thing; he is something totally different. Inspired to liberal frenzy by the development of technology that makes it possible, he wants total power, power over every aspect of your life, from what you eat, to where you work, to what you read and think and then some. Hence, the term "totalitarian dictatorship." New Chancellor Hitler went to work to grab total power, but the people wouldn't give it to him, so Nazi thugs burned the Reichstag, the building in which the German version of Congress met. Hitler blamed the Communists for the crime, and, in the emergency, the people gave him the power he wanted. All still legal. Hitler replaced the governments of the historic German states with his own men. See, for instance, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William L. Shirer, a liberal. So, it isn't easy to determine when you are looking at a totalitarian dictatorship, especially when you don't have the advantage of hindsight. Years later, professors with that advantage can point to a date and say when it happened. Indeed, even then they can't be sure. One can make a case that everything Hitler did from beginning to end was at least legal, because he was the government and made the laws. Ask the professors when Nazi Germany became a totalitarian dictatorship and you will probably get a few answers. And this would apply to every totalitarian dictatorship. Let me know if I'm wrong, but I can't think of one case in which one of these weasels came right out and told the people what he was doing. It would have been so helpful if Hitler had announced well before January 30, 1933: "Guten morgen, Damen

Such a hypersonic plane, even if not radar-invisible, would have little trouble penetrating most air defenses at such velocities, and probably could strike with complete anonymity"MILITARY RESEARCH AGENDAS FOR THE FUTUREThe Militarization of SpaceNow that the armies of the Earth have covered its land area and its navies have filled the sea, the only area left to be militarized is space, and the Pentagon is doing it with a vengeance. Some of the very persons involved in this effort may be ex-Nazi rocket scientists brought over from the Peenemunde V2 factory to work on our fledgling rocket program so we could beat the Soviets to the Moon. While space has already been used for military purposes - mostly the use of reconaissance sattelites to gain information on the enemy and carry communications for military operations - there has never been deployment of actual weapons in orbit. Concern over the deployment of ASAT (anti-sattelite) weapons led the UN to pass the treaty on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, forbidding such programs. Fortunately, the use of space has mostly been limited to exploration and cooperation, as with the Soyuz linkup of the 1970s, and the planned joint Mars mission of 1992. But there are plans to change that.The COPUOS treaty has not hindered the U.S. under Reagan and Bush from pursuing the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), more colloquially known as "Star Wars." The idea would be to deploy space-based X-ray laser sattelites and projectile systems for 'shooting' down interballistic missles before they can reach their target. While Reagan characterized such a defense as a 'shield,' most physicists see it as having so many problems in both the technological and strategic area that they call it a 'sieve.' At best, it might be able, according to some computer models, to take out 20 to 40% of incoming warheads. But, as with any system, there are countermeasures, and multiple warhead systems (MIRVs), decoy missles, and enemy ASATs might reduce even that level of effectiveness. Most scientists were afraid, especially during the Cold War, of "Star Wars" destabilizing effect as a concept. An enemy which even thought that a country was on the verge of creating such a shield might feel they were prepared to launch a 'first strike,' and they might feel pressured to launch an 'anticipatory' strike to prevent it!Many scientists are afraid that militarization of space also represents a territorialization. While there are UN treaties to restrain the nations of the world from taking what is in the seas or in Antartica for their own, there is no real set of agreements that declares space to be the common heritage of mankind. So, could nations then declare the sovereignty of the space above their countries, even as they do over their 'airspace'? Would they then declare the right to control all space launches or orbital paths that enter that zone? If wealth is located in space - say in the asteroid belt - will nations also go to war in space over who owns it? When nations begin settling in space - either in permanently manned stations or in lunar colonies - will there be conflict over docking rights? The militarization of space is a bad trend, away from where mankind should be going - declaring space to be the place where our lines on Earthly maps should not matter."Smart" Weapons: The automatization and mechanization of warfareHuman soldiers make mistakes. They can be sloppy and very inefficient and undisciplined. They are subject to fatigue, terror, and other problems of the human condition. And occasionally they are restrained by other things like 'conscience' or 'morals' which prevent them from carrying out orders. Robots represent the Pentagon's wet dream: a soldier that can deliver its 'payload' with no foulups and no guilt. "Smart" bombs may be more accurate, since they are guided by complex terrain-mapping programs, but they do not distinguish between civilians and military targets. And they serve to further separate the act of killing from its completion, because the person who programs the guided missile can claim that he bore no malice toward the people that it hits. They may make war more 'surgical,' in that certain targets and sites can be carefully and precisely excised, but if their programmers are in error, these "smart" systems can make very stupid errors, because they don't "know" the difference between a bunker and a milk factory, or between a jet fighter and a 747.The Pentagon also wants to computerize the chain of command at higher levels than delivery - specifically, in the

[CTRL] Information Awareness Office Website Deletes Staff Biographies
-Caveat Lector- The government's Information Awareness Office--you know, the Defense agency that's running the Total Information Awareness Program, the huge database that will track everything about everyone in the US and beyond, helmed by convicted felon John Poindexter--has gotten a little camera-shy. My guess is that the publication of Poindexter's phone number and address unnerved them a bit. On 26 November 2002, the biography pages of the people who run the IAO were taken off the agency's Website. Richard R. Smith retrieved them from Google's cache and posted them on his Website.

[CTRL] The Microwave Phaser
-Caveat Lector- http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0249/smith.php Weapon of the Weekby George SmithThe Microwave PhaserDecember 4 - 10, 2002 Medium rare: the mobile microwave(illustration: www.de.afrl.af.mil) he Pentagon has always craved a phaser. Now it's turning to microwaving as a potential means of singeing the enemy. The Department of Defense's bland name for this electronic heat ray is the Vehicle-Mounted Active Denial (VMAD) system, a mouthful of jargon that yields few clues about the weapon's nature. Allegedly designed for an Orwellian task"humanitarian missions"the VMAD is a giant version of your microwave oven, without the safety box surrounding it. The generals want to move it around on a humvee. Official propaganda on the device is that it makes one's skin only lightbulb hot, enough to force a person to run but not enough to cook him. Of course, there is no proof this can be achieved, because the results of tests on people are classified. It's safe, insist the inventors, the air force's Directed Energy Directorate in Albuquerque. But anyone with first-hand experience broiling hot dogs and other non-robust meats in their tabletop microwave might be chary of such an assertion. Struck by the heat ray, "S," went the eyeball. What is the microwaver's target? It must be unarmed civilians, because as described, the VMAD wouldn't seem to offer much against terrorists or regular soldiers ready to fire back with conventional weapons. What is certain is that the Pentagon's microwave projects lack oversight and common sense. In one manic, grandiose claim, the Defense Department calls VMAD "the biggest breakthrough in weapons technology since the atomic bomb." The lust for military microwaving has also been a sinkhole for tax dollars. While much of the work remains deep in the shadows, the Directed Energy Directorate (DED) does allow that $40 million went out the door for the VMAD over the last decade. An additional $15 million was awarded to ITT Industries for research on high-power microwaving applications in bombs and other types of ray guns. Microwaving facilities pictured as part of the Directorate also look to have cost a small fortune. One 27,000-square-foot concrete monolith is worth $9 million, resulting in a "cost-effective and timely capability." Vendors capitalizing on the VMAD include Raytheon, CPI (Communications and Power Industries), and Veridian Engineeringa tech firm menacingly cited for its part in researching "biological effects." ~~DARPA and Wetware http://www.libertythink.com/2002_12_01_archives.html#90035865Do you Yahoo!?

-Caveat Lector- [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] profile on a famous DARPA researcher: Hans P. Moravec - AI specialist http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/hpm.cv.htmlis the piece from which the following is snipped: Hans Moravec is a Principal Research Scientist in the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University. He has been thinking about machines thinking since he was a child in the 1950s, building his first robot, a construct of tin cans, batteries, lights and a motor, at age ten. In high school he won two science fair prizes for a light-following electronic turtle and a tape-controlled robot hand. As an undergraduate he designed a computer to control fancier robots, and experimented with learning and automatic programming on commercial machines. During his master's work he built a small robot with whiskers and photoelectric eyes controlled by a minicomputer, and wrote a thesis on a computer language for artificial intelligence. He received a PhD from Stanford University in 1980 for a TV-equipped robot, remote controlled by a large computer, that negotiated cluttered obstacle courses, taking about five hours. Since 1980 his Mobile Robot Lab at CMU has discovered more effective approaches for robot spatial representation, notably 3D occupancy grids, that, with newly available computer power, promise commercial free-ranging mobile robots within a decade. His books, Mind Children: the future of robot and human intelligence, 1988, and Robot: mere machine to transcendent mind, 1998, consider the implications of evolving robot intelligence. He has published many papers and articles in robotics, computer graphics, multiprocessors, space travel and other speculative areas. ~ DARPA To Support Development Of Human Brain-Machine Interfaces http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/08/020820071329.htmis the piece from which the following is snipped: Devices including "neuroprosthetic" limbs for paralyzed people and "neurorobots" controlled by brain signals from human operators could be the ultimate applications of brain-machine interface technologies developed under a $26 million contract to Duke University sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The contract is part of DARPA's Brain-Machine Interfaces Program (http://www.darpa.mil/dso/thrust/sp/bmi.htm), which seeks to develop new technologies for augmenting human performance by accessing the brain in real time and integrating the information into external devices. ~ the following is snipped from http://mirror.lcs.mit.edu/telecom-archives/archives/telcomine.e-zine/99-7 In a remarkable invention, US scientists have developed a biological computer made of leech neurons that can think for itself.The neuron computer works in a way similar to the human brain. According to BBC, "Leechulator" as thedevice is known as, is the brainchild of Professor Bill Ditto, from the Georgia Institute of Technology. According to him the silicon computer is a dumb machine whereas these biologicalcomputers powered with neurons will cometo the correct answer by themselves based on the partial information provided to them. At present, the computer is able to performonly simple mathematical functions, but the aim is to devise a new generation of fast and flexible computers that can work out forthemselves on how to solve a problem. This approach to computing is particularly suitedto pattern recognition tasks like reading handwriting, which would take enormous amounts of power on a conventional computer.In this invention Leech neurons are used as leeches have been extensively studied and understood and are known to form their own connections from one to another. Each neuronhas its own electrical activity and respondsin its own way to an electrical stimuli. These features can be used to make each neuronrepresent a number. The neurons then inter-linkto perform calculations. ~ Kazerooni and his colleagues have made what may be the world's most advanced motorized exoskeleton. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) regards exoskeleton technology as promising enough to deserve a $50 million, 5-year commitment to fund Kazerooni's lab and others. This spring, the agency awarded first-year grants under the program. is snipped from Dances with Robots http://www.sciencenews.org/20010630/bob8.asp ~ Such positioning requires nanometer-scale precision, something beyond the sensitivities of lithography or other micro-positioning devices. Instead, the team is using chunks of biomolecules called peptides to latch onto specific sites of the neuron. is snipped from Electronic Mind Over Gray Matter http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,48572,00.html ~ Imagine being able to land a jumbo jet without ever taking control of the stick.

It is Posted with the kind permission of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group, 28 November 2001. For some quite interesting Further Reading, go to end of page.] === Faking Democracy and Progress in Kosovo 1. Background This was an extraordinary election.[i] The pronouncement of US Ambassador Daan Everts, OSCE Mission chief, running the elections was very apt. These elections were truly extraordinary in many respects. One extraordinary aspect is that they were held in a legal vacuum. Kosovo is neither an independent state nor any longer under the government of Serbia or the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The question of statehood is to be postponed to the indefinite future while the United Nations assumes the responsibility for governing the province, through the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) headed by the Secretary-Generals Special Representative (SGSR) the former Danish foreign minister, Hans Haekkerup. The provincial government elected on 17 November reflects this lack of international legal framework. The new post-election arrangements are outlined in a document titled A Constitutional Framework for Provisional Self-Government in Kosovo.[ii] This is not a constitution but a framework for a constitution and not self-government but provisional self-government. The ill-defined legal and political status of the former Yugoslav province, reflects Western powers diminished respect for state sovereignty and the crumbling formal framework of international legal and political equality. (1) Kosovo is an extraordinary political experiment because the system of dual power of an international governing administration alongside a subordinate, domestically-elected administration, which developed in an ad hoc manner in Bosnia-Herzegovina, is here for the first time officially institutionalised. The new framework for a constitution of Kosovo, is the first modern political constitution to explicitly rule out democracy. The preamble states that the will of the people is to be relegated to just one of many relevant factors to be taken into account by the international policy-makers.[iii] The executive and legislative powers of the UN Special Representative remain unaffected by the new constitutional framework. Chapter 8 of the framework lists the powers and responsibilities reserved for the international appointee, which include the final authority over finance, the budget and monetary policy, customs, the judiciary, law enforcement, policing, external relations, public property, communications and transport, housing, municipal administration, and the appointment of regulatory boards and commissions. And, of course, the power to dissolve the elected assembly if Kosovos representatives do not show sufficient maturity to agree with his edicts.[iv] 2. Sham Elections Many international plenipotentiaries, including US President George Bush, Nato Secretary-General Lord George Robertson and United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, urged the Kosovo public to turn out to vote, particularly the Kosovo Serbs. When it emerged that around 60% of the Albanian and 50% of the Serb voters had taken part, the elections were loudly hailed by the international organisers and observers to be a glorious day in the history of Kosovo and as a huge success.[v] The question of why the international community chose to spend millions of dollars holding elections for a provincial administration with token office-holders with highly circumscribed powers was, unfortunately, rarely asked. These elections were extraordinary in the importance attached to them, not just because of the lack of power awarded to the victors, but also the fact that the results were largely irrelevant once the electoral engineering of the OSCE and UNMIK was
[CTRL] Caspian Pipeline Officially Opened Today
-Caveat Lector- http://www.vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=231548 Caspian pipeline skirts trouble spots Tuesday, 27 November 2001 19:14 (ET) Caspian pipeline skirts trouble spots By HIL ANDERSON, UPI Chief Energy Correspondent Dignitaries from around the world gathered at a Russian tanker port on the Black Sea Tuesday to mark the grand opening of a 900-mile pipeline that has thrown open the door to the vast oilfields of the volatile Caspian Sea region. The pipeline was built in a little more than a year by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium and has been operational at a rate of about 600,000 barrels per day for more than a month. It links the huge Tenzig field of western Kazakhstan to the seaport of Novorossiysk. While probably not the most direct route to the open sea, the CPC route runs well north of Afghanistan and skirts the troubled Russian republic of Chechnya. This pipeline will strengthen international energy security by adding more than a million barrels of oil a day to global supply, and by creating new jobs and billions of dollars in revenue, said U.S. Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, one of a number of high-ranking officials from the United States, Russia and Kazakhstan who attended Tuesday's ceremony in Novorossiysk. Novorossiysk has been a major tanker terminal for Russian crude exports for many years, however it was not the only choice for the terminus of a crude pipeline from the Caspian. It turned out to be the safest and most expedient investment for the consortium, which spent about $2.65 billion on the project. During the 1990s, the United States was anxious to see increased amounts of Caspian oil reaching the world market in order to further dilute the clout of OPEC and other major producers. The Caspian has as much as 34 billion barrels of proven reserves and much larger potential reserves, about a quarter of what the Middle East holds and larger than the reserves in the United States and North Sea, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The trick, however, was finding a politically secure route for the oil to take from the landlocked sea to open waters where it could be hauled to virtually anywhere in the world. The most obvious route for a pipeline would be through the short route through Iran to the Persian Gulf, or through Afghanistan to the Pakistani coast -- both of which presented the chance that unfriendly governments could shut down the pipeline in order to press a political agenda with the west. U.S. sanctions against Iran and its refusal to recognize the Taliban in Afghanistan essentially made Novorossiysk the only choice for the oil companies that would invest huge amounts of money in the Caspian. The CPC is made up of companies from the Russia, Kazakhstan and Europe as well as the U.S. companies Mobil Caspian Pipeline and Chevron Caspian Pipeline Consortium Co. The Russian Federation holds 24-percent of the CPC while Kazakhstan and Oman also own stakes. Executives Tuesday portrayed the CPC project as just the first of many international projects in the region that was thrown open by the collapse of the Soviet Union. This achievement comes at a time of increased partnership between the U.S., Russia, and Kazakhstan, said ChevronTexaco Chairman Dave O'Reilly. CPC is a bellwether project for successful international cooperation and demonstrates the confidence the international business community has to invest in Russia and Kazakhstan. U.S. Commerce Secretary Don Evans said earlier this autumn that the CPC pipeline tells the world that the United States, Russia, and Central Asian states are cooperating to build prosperity and stability in this part of the world. Caspian crude will have to transit the narrow Bosporus to the Mediterranean Sea, making Europe its closest market. A pipeline through Iran or Afghanistan might make Caspian more economical for North American and Asian markets, however any new oil on the market helps keep world prices at reasonable levels. Greater energy security through a more diverse supply of oil for global markets -- these are key elements of President Bush's National Energy Policy, Abraham said in a plug for his boss. The CPC pipeline is a clear example of that policy in action, in an international setting. Some analysts and critics of the U.S. campaign in Afghanistan have theorized that the war against the Taliban is actually aimed at installing a regime in Kabul that will open the door for construction of another Caspian pipeline, however Tuesday's ceremony in Novorossiysk may be a signal that there is no rush. There is no longer a shortage of oil export capacity in Kazakhstan, Cambridge Energy Research Associates said in a recent assessment of the feasibility of an Afghan pipeline. The need for a major new oil pipeline via Afghanistan or any other route will not reemerge until around 2010. The construction of the CPC pipeline to Novorossiysk turned out to be the right choice for the United States

Look for fresh updates each afternoon, Monday through Friday. In addition, WorldNetDaily invites you to consider STRATFOR membership, entitling you to a wealth of international intelligence reports usually available only to top executives, scholars, academic institutions and press agencies. © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com The U.N. Security Council has lifted sanctions against Sudan, which won U.S. support for lifting the sanctions by providing intelligence on terrorists. Further cooperation will give the United States a vital source of intelligence on terrorist networks and prevent Sudan from again becoming a safe haven for Islamic radicals. But Khartoum's cooperation will require reduced U.S. support for southern rebels, a potential bone of contention in U.S. domestic politics. The U.N. Security Council lifted 5-year-old sanctions against Sudan Sept. 28 after the United States abstained from the vote. Earlier, the Sudanese government had provided Washington with important intelligence on Saudi exile Osama bin Laden, who lived in Sudan from 1991 to 1996. The United States still lists Sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism, although the intelligence won its support for lifting the U.N. sanctions. Washington's own economic sanctions against the east African nation remain in place. But the recent cooperation has opened a dialogue that could herald the start of a new era in Sudanese-U.S. relations and ultimately lead to the lifting of U.S. sanctions. Washington will expand its cooperation with Khartoum, reducing its support for Sudan's southern rebels in the process. Sudan could play a pivotal role in the U.S.-led coalition against terrorism. First, it would add one more Muslim country to the list of U.S. coalition partners. Second, Khartoum is uniquely positioned to provide a wealth of information on bin Laden's activities, investments, networks and operations. Third, collaboration in the counterterrorism effort would prevent Sudan from again becoming a haven for international terrorists. But a shift in U.S. policy is necessary for gaining long-term collaboration from the government of President Omar al-Bashir. For the past four years, relations between the two nations have been strained. In 1997, the United States levied economic sanctions against Sudan, condemning the government as a sponsor of terrorism and an oppressor of the country's Christian minority. The events of Sept. 11, however, have altered Washington's global priorities, and collaboration with Khartoum will now become vital. Khartoum's cooperation could advance U.S. efforts to dismantle the Saudi exile's financial network. Already, the French bank Credit Lyonnais is freezing assets belonging to Sudan's Al Shamal Islamic Bank, which is suspected of involvement with bin Laden, the Associated Press reported Oct. 1. Al Shamal was reportedly established by a $50 million investment from bin Laden although bank officials have denied he is a stakeholder and is closely tied to Sudan's ruling National Islamic Front. Coordinating U.S. and Sudanese policies will be key to shutting down bin Laden's financial access. Sudan's help will be contingent on America reducing its support for southern rebels. The United States, through the U.N.-led humanitarian project Operation Lifeline Sudan, has been the largest provider of external aid to the rebel Sudanese People's Liberation Movement and its militant wing, the Sudanese People's Liberation Army. In fact the United States gave $161 million in humanitarian aid to Sudan in fiscal 2001, according to the U.S. Agency for International Development. The vast majority of goes to refugee camps in southern Sudan and neighboring Kenya and Uganda, which are used as rear bases and lines of supply for the rebels. Washington would find it hard to cut off that support without controversy. Following the Sept. 11 attacks, the Congressional Black Caucus and several conservative Christian groups with missions in southern Sudan immediately called for the U.S. government to take action against Khartoum, according to the U.N. Integrated Regional Information Network Sept. 28. Washington's shift from supporting the rebel army to cooperating with the government will be difficult to achieve outright. But the process may already have begun. For example Congress has delayed legislation intended to impose stock market sanctions on companies doing business in Sudan. Such legislation would have forced the likes of Canadian oil company Talisman, which has holdings in Sudan, off the

[CTRL] High-tech unmanned aircraft join the bin Laden hunt
-Caveat Lector- http://www.msnbc.com/news/661255.asp?pne=msn Machines serve as spies in the sky From satellites to drones to mini-bugs, robots are on watch Nov. 27 First, an orbiting satellite snaps a picture of the zone where the suspect is hiding out. That serves as a map for the unmanned drone looking for the right house. When that house is found, a remote-controlled mini-copter peeks through a window, sending back video of the suspect. If the window is opened, a birdlike robot flies in and drops a dusting of miniaturized wireless sensors. Its a blueprint for remote surveillance that could pin down a future Osama bin Laden in Kandahar or Kansas City. TODAY, THAT SCENARIO is science fiction, at least when it comes to the part about tiny robots flying through windows. But the war in Afghanistan serves as a real-life example demonstrating how powerful aerial surveillance can be and how quickly it has been brought up to speed. Just a year ago, in the course of a CIA experiment conducted over Afghanistan, an unmanned Predator aircraft had someone who looked like bin Laden in its sights, according to The Wall Street Journal. But at that time, no one had figured out how to arm the unmanned aircraft. Afghanistan is now patrolled by Predators armed with Hellfire anti-tank missiles, and the drones are said to have played a role in the attack that killed Mohammed Atef, one of bin Ladens closest aides. An even more advanced drone known as Global Hawk has been rushed into the regions skies as well, even though its still considered experimental. The rapid rise of unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as UAVs, fills out a picture of futuristic surveillance that ranges from Earth orbit to on-the-ground monitoring and the people who make UAVs say its only a matter of time before that picture comes into focus here at home as well. Low-cost drones could be used by police departments to watch criminal hideouts and rush-hour traffic, or by media organizations to send back video from news scenes, or by firefighters to keep an eye on wilderness hot spots. Robotic planes could monitor power lines, pipelines, border lines and coastlines. James Rolig of Austria-based Schiebel Technology, which is developing unmanned mini-copters for the U.S. military, says the industry is sort of where the Internet was in, say, 1988 or 1989. Its definitely not a mature industry yet (but) the building blocks have already been laid. He estimates that unmanned aerial vehicles could break onto the commercial scene in five to 10 years. THE AERIAL ARSENAL Others caution that the aerial revolution may not proceed that quickly. John Pike, an intelligence analyst at GlobalSecurity.org, says the challenges associated with manufacturing workable and affordable drones are enormously difficult. Nevertheless, he acknowledges that the drones have already come to occupy a valuable niche in a 21st-century style of surveillance that builds on the Pentagons past experience in the Persian Gulf and the Balkans. During the Balkan conflicts of the mid-1990s, the U.S. military had to learn how to synergize the strengths and weaknesses of satellites and UAVs, he says. High-flying spy satellites are great for wide-scale, detailed maps of a target zone but because they have to follow a set orbital path, theyre not so good for real-time tracking of a specific target. In contrast, because of the slow speed of Predator and the narrow field of view of the camera, it was not very good at finding things, Pike says. But if theyre put in the right place, the drones can watch people or vehicles in real time, using video or even all-weather radar imagery. The Predators are tough to land and hard to fly in icy conditions. But they are working well enough to spark heightened interest in the Boeing Co.s Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle project, which some financial analysts think could muscle in on the billions of dollars set aside for next-generation piloted jets like the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. On the other end of the spectrum, Schiebel Technology is developing a small-scale drone dubbed the CamCopter, and the Navy is testing another breed of unmanned helicopter known as the VTUAV. Other companies are building backpack-sized micro air vehicles that soldiers could launch like robo-birds to see what lies over the next hill. And someday, the answers to surveillance questions could literally be blowing in the wind: The Pentagon is funding research into smart dust wireless sensors, perhaps no bigger than grains of sand, that could send back data about light, temperature and sound. REALITY CHECK All this may sound like the promised land for soldiers and spies, but there are plenty of pitfalls between here and there not the least of which is determining whether future drones will actually work more efficiently and cheaply than existing technologies. Its still unclear how many of these UAVs are going to prove militarily

Like many of the other computer viruses that have struck in recent months, BadTrans-B attempts to spread by exploiting weaknesses in Microsoft e-mail programs. One anti-virus company has caught over 20,000 copies of the virus in the last 24 hours. The UK, Germany and US are the countries most seriously infected by the virus. Old holes The BadTrans-B virus is spreading swiftly because, unlike many other e-mail viruses, the pernicious payload that helps it raid Microsoft Outlook address books does not have to be clicked on to set it off. Simply previewing the item could cause infection. The loophole the virus exploits was first discovered in early 2001. It's baffling to find that even though Microsoft secured that hole eight months ago, many users have still not applied the patch, said Graham Cluley of anti-virus firm Sophos. When the virus mails itself to the contacts in the address books it raids, the virus uses a subject line from an existing message to make it appear to be a legitimate reply. The virus also regularly swaps the name of the attachment travelling with it, in an attempt to conceal its pernicious payload. BadTrans-B is a variant of the original BadTrans virus that was first discovered in April. BT Openworld error As well as raiding Outlook and Outlook Express address books, the virus also tries to implant a hidden program that tries to send an identifying net address to the author of the virus. The hidden program also monitors what users are typing and the information it tracks could be used by a malicious hacker to steal credit card information or passwords for websites. Britain seems to have been hit hard by the BadTrans-B Windows virus. Anti-virus firm Message Labs, which logs the numbers of pernicious programs it traps, has caught over 21,000 copies of BadTrans-B in the last 24 hours. Over 50% of these originated in Britain. The spread of the virus was inadvertently helped by BT Openworld, which accidentally e-mailed a copy of the virus to its customers. === F-Secure Virus Descriptions NAME: BadTrans.B ALIAS: BadtransII, I-Worm.BadtransII, W95/Badtrans.B@mm http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/badtrs_b.shtml Information about the original W95/Badtrans is available at: http://www.F-Secure.com/v-descs/badtrans.shtml Disinfection instructions for Badtrans.b worm can be found here: http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/bt_b_dis.shtml Badtrans.B e-mail worm has been found from several locations in Europe on 24th of November 2001. This worm sends variably named attachments which might execute automatically when the emails are viewed. Badtrans.B is spreading under Win32 systems. The virus sends email messages with infected attached files, as well as installs spying trojan component to steal information from infected systems. The worm itself is Win32 executable file (PE EXE file). It was found in-the-wild in compressed form, and has about 29Kb of size. Being decompressed the worm file length gets about 60Kb of size. The worm consists of two main components - Worm and Trojan. The Worm component sends infected messages, the Trojan component sends out the information (user's info, RAS data, cached passwords, keyboard log) from infected computers to specified email address. It also keeps leylogger program body in its code and installs it into the system while infecting a new machine. Infecting the system When an infected file is run (when a user clicks on attached file and activates it, or if the worm gets control through IFRAME security breach) the worm code gets control. First of all the worm drops (installs) its components to the system and registers them in system registry. The installed trojan file name, the target directory and registry key are optional. They are stored in encrypted form in trojan file at the file end. A hacker may configure them before sending it to a victim machine, or before put it on a web site. The worm also drops additional keyboard hooker (Win32 DLL file) to the system and the uses that to spy on text entered by keyboard. The DLL file

GeoCities - quick and easy web site hosting, just $8.95/month. http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/info1 ---BeginMessage--- Bush's New Rules to Fight Terror Transform the Legal Landscape By MATTHEW PURDY http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/25/politics/25LEGA.html?todaysheadlines NY Timess November 25, 2001 Pentagon officials begin designing military tribunals for suspected terrorists, they are considering the possibility of trials on ships at sea or on United States installations, like the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The proceedings promise to be swift and largely secret, with one military officer saying that the release of information might be limited to the barest facts, like the defendant's name and sentence. Transcripts of the proceedings, this officer said, could be kept from public view for years, perhaps decades. The military tribunals are the boldest initiative in a series of laws and rewritten federal regulations that, taken together, have created an alternate system of justice in the aftermath of Sept. 11, giving the government far greater power to detain, investigate and prosecute people suspected of involvement in terrorism. Those changes, described by legal experts and government and law enforcement officials, are likely to affect mostly residents of the country who are not citizens but who, until now, have had many of the constitutional rights and protections of citizens. The Bush administration says its agenda commands strong public support, a view bolstered by recent polls. Even most critics acknowledge the need for enhanced security measures, but the administration's new approach has stirred unease both inside and outside government, as well as overseas. Some senior law enforcement officials believe that the military tribunals are unnecessary and that the government's record in prosecuting terrorists in federal court over the last decade justifies continuing that approach. Spanish officials told the United States last week that they would not extradite eight men suspected of involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks without assurances that their cases would be kept in civilian court. Although it remains unclear how widely these new powers will ultimately be applied, the provisions alter some basic principles of the American judicial system - like the right to a jury trial, the privacy of the attorney-client relationship and strong protections against the use of preventive detention. The steps taken by the administration reflect outrage that the Sept. 11 terrorists were foreigners who lived freely and undetected in the United States, even though some had violated their visas, and the fear that potential terrorists or people with information about terrorist acts are among the millions of immigrants in the country. We're an open society, we give people access to the American dream, said Dan Bartlett, the White House communications director. With that privilege there is a responsibility. That responsibility has not always been lived up to, and it's not always been asked that they live up to it, either. President Bush's authorization of secret military tribunals for noncitizens accused of terrorism and the systematic interviewing of 5,000 young Middle Eastern men in the country on temporary visas is well known. But broad new powers are also contained in more obscure provisions. A recent rule change published without announcement in the Federal Register gives the government wide latitude to keep noncitizens in detention even when an immigration judge has ordered them freed. And under new laws, the attorney general can detain for deportation any noncitizen who he has reasonable grounds to believe is engaged in any activity that endangers the national security of the United States, according to a recent internal Immigration and Naturalization Service memorandum. Critics have said that the administration's measures often mean singling out people on the basis of nationality or ethnicity. We have decided to trade off the liberty of immigrants - particularly Arabs and Muslims - for the purported security of the majority, said David Cole, a law professor at Georgetown University who often represents detained foreigners. In the guidelines for carrying out the 5,000 interviews with young Middle Eastern men, Attorney General John Ashcroft wrote to federal prosecutors that the selection of the men was not meant to imply that one ethnic group or religious group is more prone to terrorism than another. Yet local law enforcement officials in several cities have balked at carrying out the interviews because of the impression of profiling. Secrecy is a hallmark of the wartime judicial system, just as the free flow of information is a signature of the nation's normal criminal procedures.

-Caveat Lector- http://sf.indymedia.org/display.php?id=100562#100564 Jim by nessie May 15 2001, Tue, 10:56am Jim Squatter Jim Squatter is an anarchist. He's not a typical anarchist, but then, which of us is? Though not a pacifist, Jim is an avid, ardent peace monger. Mongering peace takes up much of Jim's life as, he would say, it should yours. He would say, too, for he's never one to bite his tongue about something important. On the contrary, Jim is a loudmouth. It makes him a thorn in the side of the state. I met Jim in the early eighties. He occupied abandoned buildings in San Francisco for a living then, which is how he copped the moniker. He wasn't alone in there. There was a regular tribe of them. Jim spent most of his time organizing the others. For American. squatters they had remarkable success, at least for a while. Alas, this isn't Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lima or Berlin. Squatting at all in San Francisco is no piece of cake. Organized squatting, out in the open, and in the cop's face, is a feat to be proud of. It earned him his reputation, some jail time, and not a few bruises. Jim is a pretty good organizer. I'm not sure where he learned how to do it, It probably wasn't in what he calls the Air Farce and for sure it was not in the nut house. Maybe he figured it out on his own. Maybe he's just a natural. He reads a lot, which must be of some help. Mostly, he just listens when other people talk. Jim really cares what you have to say. That's a whole lot of the organizing process, right there. In a meeting, he can be fairly charismatic. Out of a meeting, he's mostly just a guy from the block. That is, unless he's just thought of something you could be doing right now for The Cause. Then he turns on the charm. Jim can be quite charming, when he wants to be. It's very persuasive. Jim is also totally fearless. I lost track of how many times he's been arrested. Twice the SFPD took him out to Golden Gate Park, beat the living bejeezus out of him and left him there bleeding. The Santa Crux cops left him in a paddy wagon out in the sun for a couple of hours once with no water and a face full of mace (on the six o'clock news, no less). Jim doesn't quit. He once went after five skin heads, alone, up on Haight St. Lucky for them, they had a head start. He can cover my back any day of the week, a task I don't trust most folks to be able to handle. Money and secrets are safe in his hands. He's on a very short list, indeed. Indeed, I wish it was longer. Judi Bari driving to Jim's house when the terrorist's nail bomb went off under the front seat, maiming her for life, but not intimidating her in the least. She had just left David Kimnitzer's house, where she had spent the night. Two days earlier, after eighteen years with David, Stephanie Massey left him, and moved in with Jim. She's ten years Jim's senior, has been around more, and is much better educated. As near as I can tell, she's the best thing that ever happened to him. Aside from the education, which never hurts anyone, Stephanie is also just naturally smarter than hell. She knows what she's doing, or else she don't try. She, too, is totally fearless, a feat in itself for some one that short. She too, has a pretty loud mouth. Stephanie bought a house near downtown Oakland in a thoroughly mixed area. The previous owners had been driven out by the crack heads next door. Jim and Step still hadn't unpacked all their stuff when I came by and taped this interview. The crack heads were already making plans to move out. This was not of Jim and Stuffs doing. The crack heads had cooked in their own soup. The whole fed up neighborhood had organized against them before Jim and Step ever showed up. It can be done. You don't need the help of experienced organizers to organize. You can do it yourself. Do it today. That's what Jim would say. It is the truth. I copped a number on the corner. Jim and I blew about half. It tasted to me like Humboldt's finest. Jim thought it was from Mendocino. Half was clearly enough. We closed the front window, so as to be not overheard from the street. It's an old local custom. I flipped on the tape. Nessie: OK, so lets brainstorm this thing a while. Why was Judi at Seeds of Peace house the night before the bomb went off? Squatter: We had a meeting that, uh, we decided there was this series of meetings about one a month I think, maybe even one every two weeks, where we were going up the coast (I think the first one was in Arcata) then we went to . . . the next one was down in Laytonville. At one of these meetings we decided the next meeting was gonna be down in the Bay Area at Seeds house and it'll be pretty much the final, major meeting before the beginning of the whole she bang. Nessie: Redwood Summer? Squatter: Right. We had lots of business, and we y'know . . . this meeting . . . It was publicly known. It wasn't advertised, but anybody that wanted to know could know, pretty much. You come to a meeting and they

Two nights before, Stephanie Massey, David's partner of eighteen years, had left him for Jim. It was one of those weeks. A couple years later, David and I sat down to talk about it in depth. David has been around for a while. He was a Port Huron era SDSer. These days, he's a database programmer. Before that he was a private investigator. Before that he was managing editor at Ramparts Press. He trained as an anthropologist, but there's not a lot call for anthropologists. Judi Bari thinks he's a cop. I don't think he's a cop. Jim Squatter doesn't think he's a cop. Neither does Stephanie. David is built like a bear. He has a very nice den and seventeen roommates. We sat in the immense kitchen/dining-room complex, talking. Roommates wandered in and out, living their lives. Some displayed interest in our conversation. Others ignored us. Sometimes the clatter of dishes drowned out a word or two. We were passing a joint and telling Stephanie stories when I remembered to turn on the tape recorder. David: At one point we were walking down this street in a high crime section of Oakland and we passed this biker's bar and out in front is this big pickup truck with a bumper sticker that said, Stop rape. Say yes. Stephanie walks into the bar . . . Roommate: Oh, good . . . Nessie: I can see that. I can see that real easy. David: . . . and says, Who's the asshole with the big blue truck out there!?! And I'm looking around. How many people am I gonna have to kill? Nessie: Yeah, right. David: (laughs loud, for a long time) . . . . and she was in this guy's face for ten minutes, man. Nessie: Well, you know, there's this thing about being short . . . Linda: Hey! She did right! Nessie: I didn't say she didn't. I'm saying she has an attitude. When you're short . . . David: I was just counting how many I was gonna have to kill, Linda, I was not leaving. Roommate: I'm not saying that, I . . . David: I've always admired her fearlessness. Nessie: She's short and she knows it. She knows that even if somebody tries to slug her, they're gonna hesitate for an instant while they hear their mommy's voice back up in their head somewhere say, Go pick on somebody your own size, And while they hesitate, she's got 'em. It's like wearing glasses. That half a second counts. David: Never happen. Nessie: Hey, I wouldn't mess with her. David: Short really has nothing to do with it, really. Nessie: I expect she'll explain that to me in great detail. David: I'm sure. We all have some understanding of it. Lisa once had to write a character sketch of one of her parents for one of her courses and she did it about her mother. The title of it is, The Eleven Foot Tall Woman. Nessie: (laughs a long time) I can see that. David: Trust me. Short has nothing to do with it. (laughs) Short has something to do with Jim. Nessie: Jim's not so short. David: Jim's pretty small. Jim's not much bigger than Stephanie. Nessie: I never noticed. He seems bigger. It must be his persona. David: In one of those first base camps up there in Redwood Summer, some guy came in brandishing a knife. So Jim starts facing the guy off . . . and talking him down. Stephanie picks up a big rock and inches around behind him. And Jim is utterly surprised at this and latter he mentioned something about this and I said, like, hey, what do you want. Nessie: Jim gets that way sometimes himself. He went after a half a dozen skinheads by himself up on Haight St. once. Chased them up the street. They were running hard, too. Pretty soon he had 'em cornered in this pizza place. And in the back of this pizza place was this large Jewish biker, named Marco (well really it's Marty), and he did not like these guys. They used to goose step in front of the place, and it's his place (he owns it), and Jews don't like that kinda shit, y'know. He happened to be in the back of the place when Jim came in the front so they were sorta sandwiched in between them . . . Marco . . . Marco's Pizza, where Cybele's is now. It was over before I caught up. I can't run like I used to. David: I used to be like that. I used to go down to the Marine Corps and servicemen's bar and pick fights. Nessie: I got over that when I was young. David: (sheepishly) I was about nineteen when I . . . Nessie: (not very convincingly) Yeah, I was about, uh, er, something like that, uh, (mumble, mumble) . . . David: It's a dick thing. Nessie: Nah; it's an American thing. That's what we do here.

[CTRL] THE EARTHSHIP
-Caveat Lector- http://www.slip.net/~ckent/earthship/ A sustainable house, made of recycled materials, continues to push boundaries and win new adherents. THE EARTHSHIP In mid-September Hurricane Marilyn roared through the Caribbean, destroying a quarter of the homes on St. Thomas, one of the U.S. Virgin islands. Full restoration of power took several months. Three thousand miles away, in Taos, New Mexico, Mike Reynolds, owner of Solar Survival Architecture, read the news and saw a demand for Earthships. An Earthship is a home design--utilizing recycled tires, aluminum cans and earth for construction materials--that Reynolds and his company have been building and perfecting for the last 25 years. It is self-sufficient, getting power from the sun, water from rain, and recycling its gray water and sewage. The Earthship would be perfect for a storm-beleaguered Caribbean Island, Reynolds figures. These buildings are so heavy, and built into the Earth, that they couldn't blow away. If Solar Survival could build one on the island as a demonstration project, people could start to construct Earthships on their own. But Reynolds realizes that the company doesn't have enough time and resources currently to take on the project. That's life in a small firm with a revolutionary product in growing demand. The problem is that we can't be everywhere, he says. But everywhere we look, it seems that what we are doing is what is needed. COMMUNITY PROGRESS Four years ago, Solar Survival was just starting a demonstration community of Earthships called Reach. Reach, which stands for Rural Earthship Alternative Community Habitat, now has 15 homes on 55 acres. Reach, located 15 miles northeast of Taos, was followed by two other developments that are under construction in the vicinity. One is called Star (Social Transformation Alternative Republic), located 16 miles west of Taos, about seven miles from a main road. Star has 20 homes built or under construction. The latest development, Greater World (no acronym) is situated nine miles west of town, on Route 64, with 15 homes built or under construction. Both developments have more than 600 acres, and are long-term projects. It is common for an Earthship to be built over a two or three year period, because the owners often use cash on hand and participate in construction Maximum build out for each development is about 100 homes, with hundreds of acres of open space preserved. Reynolds purchases all of the land in these membership communities, selling off the right to build. The residents own their home and the immediate land on which the building is situated. They have a right to sell the home, but not the surrounding land. That belongs to Reynolds, and later, the community will own it. Solar Survival lays down the only major public infrastructure--dirt roads. I run the community for five to seven years to get it established, and then roll it over to the residents, he says. Then, the community will be managed like a condominium association. Solar Survival has built two rental Earthships at Greater World and one has been reserved for rental use at Reach. These are available to people building homes--or those who would like to find out what it is like to live in one before making the commitment. The company is planning more. They are booked up--we don't have enough of the rental units built, he says. PRIVATE PROJECTS In addition to the membership communities, there are some private subdivisions in the works--one outside San Diego, California, and another near Rico, Colorado--that will be based on the Earthship. News has spread about Solar Survival designs. especially since 1990, when the term Earthship was coined. In Bend, Oregon, an Earthship won a reuse and waste prevention award from the Association of Oregon Recyclers in September, 1995. Homes have been built throughout the U.S. and also in Canada, Mexico, Bolivia and Japan. There is strong interest in the concept in New Zealand and Australia, and the company is currently negotiating to construct one for an upcoming world's fair in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1998. The company keeps track of Earthships that have been built or are under construction, and 300 are on the database. That list is likely not complete, because some are built independently, straight from the book. The designs range from a simple 1,000 sq.ft. unit to a million dollar mansion built by actor Dennis Weaver in Ridgway, Colorado. INSPECTORS AND PERMITS Although the popularity of Earthships is rising, they are still a novel concept to most public officials. The first Earthship builder in a region or county has to take the role of pioneer, educating building inspectors, planners and zoning boards. When Solar Survival sells architectural plans to a prospective homebuilder, the company generally has to help them through the permitting process, Reynolds says. It generally takes persistence, and a lot of time. The company's library of engineering reports,
[CTRL] History of Solar Energy
-Caveat Lector- http://www.solarenergy.com/ History of Solar Energy Revisiting Solar Power's Past By Charles Smith Home Location: - Technology Review: July 95: Solar Power Inventors unlocked the secrets of turning the sun's rays into mechanical power more than a century ago, only to see their dream machines collapse from lack of public support. Modern solar engineers must not be doomed to relive their fate. Charles Smith is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Technology at Appalachian State University, and a doctoral candidate in the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. His primary area of research is the history of energy. Many of us assume that the nation's first serious push to develop renewable fuels was spawned while angry Americans waited in gas lines during the energy crisis of the 1970s. Held hostage by the OPEC oil embargo, the country suddenly seemed receptive to warnings from scientists, environmentalists, and even a few politicians to end its over-reliance on finite coal and oil reserves or face severe economic distress and political upheaval. But efforts to design and construct devices for supplying renewable energy actually began some 100 years before that turbulent time--ironically, at the very height of the Industrial Revolution, which was largely founded on the promise of seemingly inexhaustible supplies of fossil fuels. Contrary to the prevailing opinion of the day, a number of engineers questioned the practice of an industrial economy based on nonrenewable energy and worried about what the world's nations would do after exhausting the fuel supply. More important, many of these visionaries did not just provide futuristic rhetoric but actively explored almost all the renewable energy options familiar today. In the end, most decided to focus on solar power, reasoning that the potential rewards outweighed the technical barriers. In less than 50 years, these pioneers developed an impressive array of innovative techniques for capturing solar radiation and using it to produce the steam that powered the machines of that era. In fact, just before World War I, they had outlined all of the solar thermal conversion methods now being considered. Unfortunately, despite their technical successes and innovative designs, their work was largely forgotten for the next 50 years in the rush to develop fossil fuels for an energy-hungry world. Now, a century later, history is repeating itself. After following the same path as the early inventors--in some cases reinventing the same techniques--contemporary solar engineers have arrived at the same conclusion: solar power is not only possible but eminently practical, not to mention more environmentally friendly. Alas, once again, just as the technology has proven itself from a practical standpoint, public support for further development and implementation is eroding, and solar power could yet again be eclipsed by conventional energy technologies. The First Solar Motor The earliest known record of the direct conversion of solar radiation into mechanical power belongs to Auguste Mouchout, a mathematics instructor at the Lyce de Tours. Mouchout began his solar work in 1860 after expressing grave concerns about his country's dependence on coal. It would be prudent and wise not to fall asleep regarding this quasi-security, he wrote. Eventually industry will no longer find in Europe the resources to satisfy its prodigious expansion. Coal will undoubtedly be used up. What will industry do then? By the following year he was granted the first patent for a motor running on solar power and continued to improve his design until about 1880. During this period the inventor laid the foundation for our modern understanding of converting solar radiation into mechanical steam power. Mouchout's initial experiments involved a glass-enclosed iron cauldron: incoming solar radiation passed through the glass cover, and the trapped rays transmitted heat to the water. While this simple arrangement boiled water, it was of little practical value because the quantities and pressures of steam it produced were minimal. However, Mouchout soon discovered that by adding a reflector to concentrate additional radiation onto the cauldron, he could generate more steam. In late 1865, he succeeded in using his apparatus to operate a small, conventional steam engine. By the following summer, Mouchout displayed his solar motor to Emperor Napoleon III in Paris. The monarch, favorably impressed, offered financial assistance for developing an industrial solar motor for France. With the newly acquired funds, Mouchout enlarged his invention's capacity, refined the reflector, redesigning it as a truncated cone, like a dish with slanted sides, to more accurately focus the sun's rays on the boiler. Mouchout also constructed a tracking mechanism that enabled the entire machine to follow the sun's altitude and azimuth, providing uninterrupted

The two firms, Somalia Internet Company and al-Barakaat, both appear on a US list of organisations accused of funnelling money to the al-Qaeda network. Both companies have stated categorically they they are not linked to terrorists. The US believes the two companies also support Bin Laden I would say it is very depressing and if I could find any stronger word than that I would say it - BBC correspondent Hassan Barise Along with denying all internet access to Somalis, the closures have severely restricted international telephone lines and shut down vitally needed money transfer facilities. Correspondents say the closure of the companies will have a devastating effect on the country, which desperately needs the services they provide. Desperation The BBC's Hassan Barise in Mogadishu said more than 80% of Somalis depend on money they receive from relatives outside the country. Thousands of Somalis depend on al-Barakaat's services He said all internet cafes have now shut down and international phone lines run by two other companies are failing to cope with the extra pressure of calls. He also pointed out that the United Nations, local and international aid agencies, as well as the government itself all relied heavily on internet access, now denied. I would say it is very depressing and if I could find any stronger word than that I would say it, he said. He added the impact would be felt even more strongly because the cuts have come during the holy month of Ramadan. Shutdown On 7 November, the Bush administration released the list of 62 organisations and individuals accused of financial links with Osama Bin Laden. Reports say the Somali Internet Company was forced to close when it realised that its international gateway had been cut off. The international phone service is suffering Al-Barakaat, Somalia's largest company with interests in telecommunications, banking and postal services, closed its financial businesses after its assets were frozen. Its international telephone service was then shut down when its international gateway - run jointly by ATT and British Telecom - was also cut off. The company, which has 600 shareholders, is the largest employer in Somalia. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Somalis depend on it to transfer money throughout the world. Somalis living abroad use it to send money to their relatives back home as there are no other banking systems in Somalia since the downfall of the Siad Barre regime in 1991. Somalia's prime minister has issued a decree appointing a special committee to investigate al-Barakaat, as well as all other remittance companies. * THERE ARE OVER 5,000 SOMALIS LIVING IN BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS All of whom were greatly effected with the move to shut down al Barakkat in Boston's Black Community of Dorchester.

As the fifth estate was first to report in 1980, the work that Dr. Ewan Cameron oversaw at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal was shocking. Now, the story of Cameron's experiments and the victims' struggle for justice have been made into a riveting movie, to be broadcast on CBC Television this Sunday and Monday nights. For the victims of The Sleep Room, the horror has never really ended. --- VELMA ORLIKOW (patient of Dr. Ewen Cameron): The man who I had thought cared about what happened to me didn't give a damn. I was a fly, just a fly. VOICE-OVER ANNOUNCER: Revisiting Canada's infamous Sleep Room. LINDA MACDONALD (patient of Dr. Ewen Cameron): I was...had to be toilet-trained. I was a vegetable. VOICE-OVER ANNOUNCER: In the 1960s, Dr. Ewen Cameron conducted CIA-funded experiments on troubled Canadian patients he was meant to help. ROBERT LOGIE (former patient of Dr. Ewen Cameron): It wasn't treatment for anything. It was out and out guinea pigs for brainwashing experiments. VOICE-OVER ANNOUNCER: A fifth estate investigation revealed how one Canadian government secretly supported these horrific experiments, and then another blocked the victims' fight for justice. JAMES TURNER (lawyer): The Mulroney government, in effect, stabbed its citizens in the back at every turn.

LINDEN MACINTYRE: Welcome to the fifth estate. When Canadians first learned that CIA brainwashing experiments had been carried out on Canadians in Canada, with the knowledge of our government, it was a tremendous shock. As the fifth estate was first to report in 1984, the work that Dr. Ewen Cameron oversaw at his Montreal clinic was shocking. Now the story of Cameron's experiments and the victims' struggle for justice have been made into a riveting movie, to be broadcast on CBC television this Sunday and Monday nights. For the victims of the Sleep Room, the horror has never really ended. Even if you don't know the history of the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal, it looks like a natural setting for a movie, a horror movie maybe. But then, the truth about what happened to hundreds of psychiatric patients there a long time ago is a horror story. And now it has become a movie, a dramatized account of a bleak chapter in the history of Canadian psychiatry, produced by a former fifth estate documentary maker, Bernard Zuckerman. The central character in the TV movie is a world-renowned psychiatrist at the Allan in the early sixties. His name was Dr. Ewen Cameron. BERNARD ZUCKERMAN (producer, The Sleep Room): It's the classic story of good turning to evil in its most simplistic terms. Dr. Cameron started off as someone who was probably one of the most enlightened psychiatrists in the country, but then something happened. And whatever happened, suddenly here is this enlightened doctor, this noble doctor, who begins doing more and more and more bizarre experiments on his patients, to the point where he is destroying the minds of hundreds of people. DR. EWEN CAMERON (clip): These are the days and hours of the MACINTYRE: Inspired by the exuberant post-war optimism in technology, Cameron thought he'd achieved a major scientific breakthrough: how to repair a damaged human mind. The media rejoiced, even coined a phrase which would become a tragically silly oxymoron: beneficial brainwashing. Linda MacDonald was a young mother with five children under the age of five when she started feeling low. Her family doctor knew just the man to make her better. LINDA MACDONALD (former patient of Dr. Ewen Cameron): I was tired, I was depressed, my back was hurting, and so he said to the children's father, Why don't you go to Montreal and visit this Dr. Ewen Cameron, this famous man, who has all of these accolades, and have an assessment? So we went. My medical file even says that I took my guitar with me. And that was the end of my life. Within three weeks Dr. Cameron decided to call me an acute schizophrenic, and ship me up to the sleep room. MACINTYRE: How long did they put you to sleep for? MACDONALD: I was in a coma for 86 days. MACINTYRE: Eighty-six days of unbroken sleep. MACDONALD: Eighty-six...comatose, yeah, total comatose state. MACINTYRE: The theory was simple: erase a disturbed mind and start all over again. One of Dr. Cameron's colleagues at the time was

[CTRL] The Mafia, CIA and George Bush
-Caveat Lector- http://www.webcom.com/%7epinknoiz/covert/brewton.html Excerpt from The Mafia, CIA and George Bush by Pete Brewton SPI Books, NY 1992 ISBN 1-56171-203-5 pp.209-210 224-227 [Rupp is the purported October Surprise pilot that Richard Brenneke was trying to defend, when his testimony got him in trouble.] When Rupp was in Leavenworth Prison he wrote a letter to President Bush dated August 1, 1989, to which he attached a copy of his membership card in the Association of Former Intelligence Offcers. The letter contains several blatant factual errors. For example, he stated, My Agency tenure began in 1957 with the OSS. The OSS was disbanded after World War II. He also stated in the letter that he had investigated the Imhausen/Libya affair and its connection with Ghorbanifar's I.B.I. in Frankfurt. In fact, I.B.I. was controlled by a man named Barbouti, not the Iranian middle man Ghorbanifar. Rupp closed his letter thusly: For the protection of this country and the ideals which I have been sworn to uphold, my lips have been and will be sealed, and I remain, Yours in Faithful Service, Heinrich F. Rupp, Scorpio 688. Just your typical CIA contract agent. Global was also named as a CIA front by a retired CIA Middle East expert. In December 1990, Bruce Hemmings, a retired CIA senior operations offcer who worked on the Iran desk in 1985, issued several written statements criticizing the CIA's role and cover-up in the Iran-Contra scandal and other misdeeds. In part of his statement entitled CIA Gun Running to Iran Goes Back to 1981, Hemmings stated: Since at least 1981, a worldwide network of 'free-standing' [i.e., no direct U.S. government ties] companies, including airlines, aviation and military spare parts suppliers, and trading companies, has been utilized by the CIA and the U.S. government to illegally ship arms and military spare parts to Iran and to the Contras. These companies were set up with the approval and knowledge of senior CIA offcials and other senior U.S. government officials and staffed primarily by ex-CIA, ex-FBI and ex-military offcers. The companies include Aero Systems, Inc., of Miami, Arrow Air, Aero Systems Pvt. Ltd of Singapore, Hierax of Hong Kong, Pan Aviation in Miami, Merex in North Carolina, Sur International, St. Lucia Airways, Global International Airways, International Air Tours of Nigeria, Continental Shelf Explorations, Inc., Jupiter, Florida, Varicon, Inc., Dane Aviation Supply of Miami, and others, such as Parvus, Safir, International Trading and Investment Guaranty Corp., Ltd., and Information Security International Inc. Through these mechanisms, staffed by ex-intelligence and military officers, the administration and the CIA have been able to circumvent and ignore the legal intelligence mechanisms and Congressional oversight. C-130, F4, TOWs and Hawk missile parts were shipped to Iran in violation of the arms embargo and a variety of mechanisms were used, including International Air Tours of Nigeria in August and September 1985, Arrow Air in November 1985, and Global International and Pan Aviation and others going back in 1981. In another document, entitled Corruption Within CIA: A Cast of Characters, Hemmings severely criticizes Thomas Twetten, the deputy director of operations for the CIA and Hemmings's former boss. In one section Hemmings discusses weapons sales to Iran and how Twetten deliberately undermined the case of a foreign official who had information on such sales by turning the matter over to the British: Twetten's decision and that of London station is highly suspect ancl negligent, as they knew, as I did, that the British government was, along with the British arms industry, Tiny Rowland, Ashraf Marwan and Adnan Khashoggi, his partner, deeply involved in such trafficking. Obviously, Twetten also knew that North, Shackley, Clines, Hakim, Robert Sensi, and Cyrus Hashemi, and Farhad Azima were also involved in such trafficking, as all these individuals were part of the same network; as him. Hemmings, who won the CIA's intelligence commendation medallion in 1985, is extremely bitter about the way he was treated by the CIA in its attempts to cover up its role in Iran-Contra. In his position on the Iran desk in Washington, Hemmings became aware of the senior CIA officials' role in the secret arms-for-hostages transaction with Iran and the subsequent cover up by the CIA. His knowledge of this came up in April 1987 during the confirmation hearings for William Webster as Director of Central Intelligence. Hemmings was ordered by his superiors to prepare a memo on what he knew, but to leave out certain things. My refusal to alter my testimony to fit the cover story then, and later in 1989 as a Senate witness, brought me under intense pressure to remain silent or else!! Death, unemployment and loss of access to my children were all used as weapons and threats, Hemmings wrote in a December 1990 statement mailed to me. All of Azima's wheeling and

-Caveat Lector- http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/9470/rich.html A LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM THE RICH Lets be honest: youll never win the lottery. On the other hand, chances are pretty high that youll slave away at some shitty job the rest of your life. Thats because in all likelihood you were born into the wrong social class. Lets face it youre a member of the WORKING CASTE. As a result, you dont have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, youd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. Thats why were so relieved that you continue to believe the silly old fairy tale about justice and equal opportunity in America. Of course, in a hierarchical system like ours, theres not much room at the top to begin with. And anyway, its already occupied by us (in fact we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way). But at least theres usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can find some poor slob even lower than he to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for poor Blacks, migrant workers, prostitutes and homeless street people. Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill those boring, dangerous shit jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars or blindly follow orders in our corporate armies. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work! Plus, you probably dont have the same vicious, greedy, compulsive drive to acquire and possess wealth, power and prestige that we have. And even though you sincerely desire freedom, you also fear freedom, keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo. So you mechanically go through life playing your assigned social role, terrified of what others would think should you ever dare to break out of the mold. Naturally we play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: skilled workers against unskilled, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against We continually keep your wages low by invoking foreign competition, the law of supply and demand, or national security. We throw you into the unemployed if you step out of line or jeopardize our profits. We even let you vote for one of our political surrogates every now and then. Happily, you havent a clue as to whats really happening instead you blame Blacks, Jews, Welfare Mothers, Queers (everybody except us) for your troubled situation. Not only that, you still embrace the work ethic, even though most jobs in our economy undermine your health, poison the environment, and suck your one and only life out of you. We dont know much about work, but were sure glad that you do. Of course life could be different. Society could be organized to meet the real needs of the general population. You could control your own activity and not be someone elses pawn. But you dont know that. You cant even imagine it. In fact, thats probably the greatest accomplishment of our system: robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability to think for yourself. So wed truly like to thank you from the bottom of our heartless hearts. Its obedient wage slaves like you that help make our lives so pleasant. Your loyal sacrifice makes possible our corrupt luxury; your work makes our system work.

[CTRL] The People of Afghanistan Do Not Accept Rule by Northern Alliance
-Caveat Lector- http://www.counterpunch.org/rawa1.html November 15, 2001 RAWA: The People of Afghanistan Do Not Accept Rule by Northern Alliance CounterPunch Wire Now it is confirmed that the Taliban have left Kabul and the Northern Alliance has entered the city. The world should understand that the Northern Alliance is composed of some bands who did show their real criminal and inhuman nature when they were ruling Afghanistan from 1992 to 1996. The retreat of the terrorist Taliban from Kabul is a positive development, but entering of the rapist and looter NA in the city is nothing but a dreadful and shocking news for about 2 million residents of Kabul whose wounds of the years 1992-96 have not healed yet. Thousands of people who fled Kabul during the past two months were saying that they feared coming to power of the NA in Kabul much more than being scared by the US bombing. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda will be eliminated, but the existence of the NA as a military force would shatter the joyful dream of the majority for an Afghanistan free from the odious chains of barbaric Taliban. The NA will horribly intensify the ethnic and religious conflicts and will never refrain to fan the fire of another brutal and endless civil war in order to retain in power. The terrible news of looting and inhuman massacre of the captured Taliban or their foreign accomplices in Mazar-e-Sharif in past few days speaks for itself. Though the NA has learned how to pose sometimes before the West as democratic and even supporter of women's rights, but in fact they have not at all changed, as a leopard cannot change its spots. RAWA has already documented heinous crimes of the NA. Time is running out. RAWA on its own part appeals to the UN and world community as a whole to pay urgent and considerable heed to the recent developments in our ill-fated Afghanistan before it is too late. We would like to emphatically ask the UN to send its effective peace-keeping force into the country before the NA can repeat the unforgettable crimes they committed in the said years. The UN should withdraw its recognition to the so-called Islamic government headed by Rabbani and help the establishment of a broad-based government based on the democratic values. RAWA's call stems from the aspirations of the vast majority of the people of Afghanistan. http://www.rawa.org = ~~~ http://www.infiltration.org http://www.darkpassage.com http://www.mattoledefense.org/alerts/08192001_video.html http://sf.indymedia.org/display.php?id=100562#100565 http://www.pieman.org/ http://www.webcom.com/%7epinknoiz/covert/seberg.html __ Do You Yahoo!?

[CTRL] Suffer Palestine's Children
-Caveat Lector- http://www.counterpunch.org/ November 27, 2001 Suffer Palestine's Children By Sunil K. Sharma Early in the morning of November 22, five Palestinian children were blown to pieces by an Israeli mine or bomb as they headed to school in Khan Younis. The children were 6 to 14 years-of-age, all from the Al Astel family. It is unclear if the explosion was set off by the children tripping over or kicking the device, or via remote control. The next day, a senior Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) official was quoted on Israel Radio as saying a big mistake was done. The officer admitted an undercover army unit planted the device in the area, yet evaded any explanation as to why it was planted in the vicinity of a school. Yesterday, the IDF issued its first official statement regarding the killings. An IDF investigation revealed serious flaws in the planting and operation of the ordnance. Following the usual script, the IDF feigned sorrow over the deaths of five children. The IDF claims the device was planted in an area used by Palestinians to fire mortars at nearby Israeli colonial settlements and army positions. Israel Radio quoted IDF officials as saying the device was meant to remain well hidden and was to be set off when the Palestinian shooters returned to the area. (quoting Ha'aretz, 11/25/01) Israeli opposition leader MK Yossi Sarid of Meretz, responding to IDF claims that their recent operations in Khan Younis were designed to prevent Palestinian attacks, stated: That's a targeted hit? Do you know who will pass by the area [where the bomb is planted]? It's a residential area. What kind of bombs do you place in an area where school children pass by? (Ha'aretz, 11/24/01) MK Ran Cohen (Meretz) has called for a Knesset committee to investigate the incident, expressing dismay that the IDF sat quietly for two days before putting out an official statement that amounts to little more than a cover-up. MK Uri Ariel (National Union-Yisrael Beiteinu) disagreed, stating that IDF investigations take time because they are thorough. I have faith in the IDF, he stated. [Ariel] said that the army was is in the throes of the battle in the territories, and was busy assassinating Mahmoud Abu Hanoud [of Hamas] and so could not concentrate solely on the investigation that Cohen demanded. (Ha'aretz, 11/25/01) In other words: we were too busy trying to assassinate a Palestinian leader to investigate our killing of Palestinian children, but now that we've taken a five-minute breather from our assassination campaign we can conclude from our thorough investigation that a regretful mistake was made. Sorry kids, we'll try to do a better job of killing the right folks next time. The Israelis have not condemned the killings, though some officials say an apology might perhaps be in order. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, the total number of Palestinians killed since the second Intifada erupted on September 29, 2000 is 821. 16,661 Palestinians have been injured, many maimed for life. Palestinian children under the age of 18 represent about 1/4 of those killed. The Israeli military's killing of Palestinian children is not a sometimes accidental by-product of 34 years of occupation. It is in fact a matter of deliberate policy. In a chilling interview conducted by Ha'aretz correspondent Amira Hass, an IDF sharpshooter admitted it was IDF policy to shoot at children above the age of 12. Here is an excerpt [AH = Hass, IS = Sharpshooter]: (AH) You haven't shot children. (IS) All the sharpshooters haven't shot children. (AH) But nonetheless there are children who were hit, wounded or killed after they were hit in the head. Unless these were mistakes. (IS) If they were children, they were mistakes. (AH) Do they talk about this? (IS) They talk to us about this a lot. They forbid us to shoot at children. (AH) How do they say this? (IS) You don't shoot a child who is 12 or younger. (AH) That is, a child of 12 or older is allowed? (IS) Twelve and up is allowed. He's not a child any more, he's already after his bar mitzvah. Something like that. (AH) Thirteen is bar mitzvah age. (IS) Twelve and up, you're allowed to shoot. That's what they tell us. (AH) Again: Twelve and up you're allowed to shoot children. (IS) Because this already doesn't look to me like a child by definition, even though in the United States a child can be 23. (AH) Under international law, a child is defined as someone up to the age of 18. (IS) Up until 18 is a child? (AH) So, according to the IDF, it is 12? (IS) According to what the IDF says to its soldiers. I don't know if this is what the IDF says to the media. (AH) And children are from 12 down.

[CTRL] Parapsychology In Intelligence
-Caveat Lector- i happen to know that much of what we call psychic phenomena is, indeed, real...however, i personally doubt that minds devoted to shrouding their wills in secrecy - minds devoted to deceit - are as capable of such as those based on love...i could, of course, be wrong... however, this does not preclude an operative providing false information to someone who is psychic and, thus, employing them... in order for thought sharing [or think-along] to occur, i believe, there must be repore between said individuals... a key to telepathy is in one's belief system...i.e. if you believe it to be a hoax you will exclude it from your experience merely by not recognizing such instances as such... remember: your mind is not in your head - your head is in the mind...i submit that such is true whether or not it is recognized and that by ignoring this truth you make yourself more susceptible to mind control than you can possibly believe - being in denial of it in the first place...if you DO manage to work this meme into the core of your belief system, you are likely to enter what St. John called the 'long dark night of the soul' or what Crowley called 'the abyss' or what Robert Anton Wilson calls 'the chapel perilous' - these are merely different names for a somewhat dangerous phase one enters of major re-adjustment of one's perceptive models...since it challenges the basis of much of what we accept to be true...this is where it helps to realize that you are not your thoughts or your ideologies...who is the you that is having the thoughts? http://www.stargate.net-hed.co.uk/cia1.htm Parapsychology In Intelligence A Personal Review Conclusions Dr. Kenneth A. Kress The Central Intelligence Agency has investigated the controversial phenomenon called parapsychology as it relates to intelligence collection. The author was involved with many aspects of the last such investigations. This paper summarizes selected highlights of the experiences of the author and others. The intent is not historical completeness. Files are available for those interested in details. Instead the intent is to record some certainly interesting and possibly useful data and opinions. This record is likely to be of future benefit to those who will be required to evaluate intelligence-related aspects of parapsychology. The Agency took the initiative by sponsoring serious parapsychological research, but circumstances, biases, and fear of ridicule prevented CIA from completing a scientific investigation of parapsychology and its relevance to national security. During this research period, CIA was buffeted with investigations concerning illegalities and improprieties of all sorts. This situation, perhaps properly so, raised the sensitivity of CIA's involvement in unusual activities. The Proxmire Effect, where the fear that certain Government research contracts would be claimed to be ill-founded and held up for scorn, was another factor precluding CIA from sensitive areas of research. Also, there tend to be two types of reactions to parapsychology: positive or negative, with little in between. Parapsychological data, almost by definition, are elusive and unexplained. Add a history replete with proven frauds and many people instantly reject the subject, saying, in effect, I would not believe this stuff even if it were true. Others, who must have had personal conversion experiences, tend to be equally convinced that one unexplained success establishes a phenomenon. These prejudices make it difficult to evaluate parapsychology carefully and scientifically. Tantalizing but incomplete data have been generated by CIA-sponsored research. These data show, among other things, that on occasion unexplained results of genuine intelligence significance occur. This is not to say that parapsychology is a proven intelligence tool; it is to say that the evaluation is not yet complete and more research is needed. Attention is confined to psychokinetics and remote viewing. Psychokinetics is the purported ability of a person to interact with a machine or other object by unexplained means. Remote viewing is akin to clairvoyance in that a person claims to sense information about a site or person removed from a known sensory link. Anecdotal reports of extrasensory perception (ESP) capabilities have reached U.S. national security agencies at least since World War II, when Hitler was said to rely on astrologers and seers. Suggestions for military applications of ESP continued to be received after World War II. For example, in 1952 the Department of Defense was lectured on the possible usefulness of extrasensory perception in psychological warfare. [1] Over the years, reports continued to accumulate. In 1961, the reports induced one of the earliest U.S. government parapsychology investigations when the chief of CIA's Office of Technical Service (then the Technical Services Division) became interested in the claims of ESP.

[CTRL] FBI Bomb School, and Other Atrocities
-Caveat Lector- http://www.judibari.org/bomb-school.html FBI Bomb School, and Other Atrocities by Judi Bari October 19, 1994 For the past ten months, I've been spending a lot of time down in the city sitting across the table from Oakland cops and FBI agents, questioning them under oath in depositions to gather testimony for our false arrest lawsuit against them. This has been, to say the least, an interesting experience. These guys are professional liars, who have raised selective memory loss to an art form. There is also a draconian set of rules about what we're allowed to ask and how we're allowed to ask it. Nonetheless, between the police photos and written reports, the FBI files, and the sworn testimony of these cops and FBI agents, we have managed to gather quite a bit of information to begin to piece together what really happened when I was bombed on May 24, 1990. Of course the most dramatic of the information we have uncovered, and the one that has caused so much stir in the pages of the Anderson Valley Advertiser, is the FBI Bomb School. Four weeks before I was car-bombed, according to both the testimony and the written files, the FBI sponsored a Bomb Investigators' training course at the College of the Redwoods in Eureka, in the heart of the redwood region, on the eve of Redwood Summer. During this week-long course, which was open to law enforcement only, the FBI actually blew up cars with pipe bombs to practice responding. The place where they blew up these cars was (where else?) at a Louisiana- Pacific logging site north of Eureka The teacher at Bomb School was Special Agent Frank Doyle, the FBI Terrorist Squad bomb expert who showed up at the scene when I was bombed in Oakland, and directed the collection of evidence. It was Frank Doyle who concocted the lie that the bomb was on the back seat floorboard, where we would have seen it. Among the students at Bomb School were several of the responding Oakland Police officers and FBI agents who collected the evidence under Frank Doyle's supervision at the Oakland bomb scene. The FBI claims that they have lost the roster of students in the class, even though the FBI Bomb School memo that we received from them refers to this roster and says it is attached. But even without this roster, from the documents that we have, I have been able to place at least four 1990 Bomb School participants as being among the first responding to the Oakland bombing. They are, Special Agent (SA) Frank Doyle, Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) Patrick Webb, SA John F. Holford, and Oakland Police Sgt. Myron Hanson. In addition, SA Stockton Buck, who played a key role at the Oakland bombing scene, has testified that he attended Bomb School in Eureka, where they blew up cars with Frank Doyle, but he doesn't recall if it was 1990 or one of the years before. Stockton Buck also testified that he found the assignment of collecting evidence at the Oakland bomb scene pleasant, because it was a nice day and they had pavement under their feet. Which makes me think he may have been contrasting it to the dust and mud of the L-P clearcut where they had blown up the cars in Bomb School. Of course the FBI claims that Bomb School is merely routine police training, and this is all just a bizarre coincidence. But the more we have learned about Bomb School, the more bizarre the coincidence has become. Oakland Police Sgt. Hanson has testified that they were told at Bomb School that it is unusual for a car-bomber to place the bomb inside the passenger compartment of his victim's car, because of the supposed difficulty of breaking into a locked car. Instead, he said, they were told that bombers normally place their bombs under the car frame or in the engine compartment. However, Hanson also testified that several of the cars that were blown up in Bomb School (and, according to the FBI memo, there were only three cars in all) did indeed have the bomb placed in the passenger compartment. In other words, at the 1990 Bomb School, they created virtually the same crime scene that was about to happen in Oakland, and practiced responding to it. Further, they were told that this scenario was unlikely to represent a case where the person in the car was the target of the bombing. In fact, Sgt. Hanson testified that one of the reasons he says he believed the bomb in my car belonged to me was that it was in the passenger compartment. So even if you can swallow that this was all coincidental, it definitely had the effect of prejudicing the respondents to the Oakland bombing. When we asked Sgt. Hanson how he could have thought the bomb in my car was in the back seat, considering that the hole was blown in the front seat, Hanson replied that he deferred to Frank Doyle because Doyle was his instructor in Bomb School. If he was my instructor, said Sgt. Hanson, I don't think I'd sit there and tell him that much. According to Frank Doyle's testimony, Bomb School was held once a year in Eureka for nine or ten

-Caveat Lector- http://www.earthfirstjournal.org/feature.cfm?ID=96issue=v21n7 The Criminalization of Ecology Warcry As the assault on the environment intensifies, so does the criminalization of the resistance to that assault. Crafted under pressure from various right-wing elements and the corporate lobby, recent eco-terrorist legislation seeks to neutralize all forms of direct action that interfere with industry production. As the assault on the environment intensifies, so does the criminalization of the resistance to that assault. Crafted under pressure from various right-wing elements and the corporate lobby, recent eco-terrorist legislation seeks to neutralize all forms of direct action that interfere with industry production. Additionally, Congress has steadily fattened the FBIs counter-terrorism budget from $78.5 million in 1993 to $301.2 million in 1999. Illustrating this increasingly repressive climate, Joint Terrorism Task Forces have now been set up throughout the US with the goal of organizing local law enforcement agencies into effective counter-terrorism units. By establishing surveillance and information sharing on activists, the FBI can empower and encourage the subsequent prosecution of eco-terrorists. The result is an increasingly dangerous climate for activists. Frees case is a wake up call. We must re-strategize and evolve our tactics if we hope to survive and maintain an effective defense of the environment despite these treacherous political developments. The Juvenile Justice Bill After the Columbine High School shootings, the US Senate passed the May 1999 Juvenile Justice Bill. Though unrelated in any way to juvenile justice, several provisions were included that directly target animal rights and environmental activists. Reflecting industry pressure and influence, the Juvenile Justice Bill condemns people who commit politically motivated nonviolent offenses with exceedingly disproportionate prison terms. Unfortunately, this law is only one example of a systematic attempt by industry and government to discourage direct action by punishing activists with jail time that far exceeds time given to truly violent and dangerous people. Such sentencing preferences illustrate the priority the state gives to property over human life. The Juvenile Justice Bill also: 1. Makes it a federal crime to distribute information on how to make bombs (over the Internet or otherwise) or other weapons of mass destruction if the teacher intends for the information to be used to commit a federal violent crime, or knows that the recipient will use the information to commit such a crime. 2. Enhances penalties under the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act by changing a minimum sentence to a mandatory five years instead of one. 3. Creates a National Animal Terrorism and Ecoterrorism Incident Clearinghouse to accept, collect and maintain information on crimes against animal enterprises or commercial activities because of their perceived impact on the environment. Records of such incidents are available for all law enforcement agencies. 4. Enhances sentences for gangs, defined as the assembly of three or more people. These sentencing guidelines promote selective and politically biased prosecution by applying more serious penalties against those who commit crimes in defense of animals or the environment. The courts are being asked to evaluate the actions of an individual and the thoughts behind an action instead of simply evaluating the actual crime. The bill also undermines the First Amendment protection of websites and publications. The RICO Act In May 1999, Senators Orin G. Hatch (R-UT) and Diane Feinstein (D-CA) introduced an amendment to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act, aimed at Animal Enterprise Terrorism and Ecoterrorism. RICO was originally designed to combat traditional organized crime and its infiltration of legitimate enterprises; however, its most innovative, and controversial, aspects are provisions which allow the state to seize property owned by anyone charged with being part of a criminal enterprise. RICO targets illegal activity organized across state lines. Thus, if you organize using email and telephone, you can potentially be prosecuted under federal laws. In the past, RICO has been employed primarily against white-collar criminals, anti-abortion protesters and mobsters. Now, target groups can include just about anyone. Oregon Declares War on Activists On March 12, two bills intended to stiffen penalties for eco-terrorists were unanimously approved by the Oregon House of Representatives. Under HR 2344 and 2385, Oregons organized crime laws would be expanded to include activities such as tree spiking and sabotage of animal research, livestock or agricultural operations. Convictions under the laws would be punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $300,000 fine. Reflecting the hysterical attitude and culture of propaganda currently

[CTRL] Republicans to push oil drilling in stimulus bill
-Caveat Lector- http://www.ienearth.org/mining_campaign2.html#alert-092501 November 15, 2001 Republicans to push oil drilling in stimulus bill By Tom Doggett, Reuters Environmental News Network Inc. www.enn.com/news/wire-stories/2001/11/11152001/reu_45591.asp WASHINGTON Republicans launched a new campaign Wednesday to open an Alaskan wilderness to oil drilling by attaching an energy measure to a crucial economic stimulus package before the Senate. The fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a pristine wilderness in northern Alaska, has been a long-running fight between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate. Republicans say the the refuge could yield billions of barrels of crude oil that would reduce U.S. dependence on imports. Democrats contend the wilderness area should not be sacrificed because huge amounts of oil could be saved with stricter fuel efficiency standards. Republicans will try to amend the $66 billion stimulus measure by attaching part of the broad energy bill passed by the House in August. The House legislation would offer incentives to boost U.S. oil, natural gas, and coal production as well as opening the refuge to drilling. Sen. Larry Craig, Republican of Idaho, said he formally filed on Wednesday a stripped-down version of the House energy bill as an amendment to the economic stimulus legislation. The Senate began debate this week on whether the economic package should include extra unemployment benefits and subsidized health insurance for laid-off workers or focus mostly on business tax cuts to help the sluggish U.S. economy. We will debate energy on the stimulus package, Craig told reporters on Capitol Hill. Who determines the price of gasoline in America today? Foreigners from outside our country, he added. WHITE HOUSE SUPPORT The White House signalled its support for the Republican action. Vice President Dick Cheney urged the Senate to include the energy bill in the economic stimulus package. It (the stimulus bill) ought to be coupled, as well, with a good energy program, Cheney said in a speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Cheney said it would be foolish in the extreme for the United States not to boost its oil production. We're dependent upon a somewhat fragile, uncertain part of the world for a big part of our oil imports, Cheney said. Republicans said they would prefer to vote on the energy measure as stand-alone legislation, but the Senate's Democratic leadership has refused to schedule such a vote. Some $32 billion in energy tax credits and incentives and credits were stripped from the House energy bill before offering it as amendment to improve the measure's chance of passing the Senate, Craig said. Craig said he would not hold up the economic package, and would withdraw his amendment if a bipartisan agreement on a stimulus plan emerged. In that event, he said, he would attach the energy language to an agricultural spending bill when lawmakers return from Thanksgiving recess. If we have a bipartisan stimulus package on the floor of the Senate to vote on, we would not offer the amendment, he said. GREENS, ROBERT REDFORD OPPOSE DRILLING Green groups that oppose drilling in the Alaska refuge stepped up their publicity campaign by holding a news conference with Hollywood legend Robert Redford. The actor, who serves on the board of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said more than 2 million Americans have written letters and emails urging the government to keep the refuge off limits to drilling. I don't feel there is an open, honest debate on this issue, which is what I think the American people deserve and should get, said Redford, joined by several lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Sporting a checkered gray coat, purple tie, and blue shirt, the 64-year-old Redford said opening up the pristine refuge would harm wildlife and do little to reduce oil imports. Some Senate Democrats have threatened to filibuster any attempt to let energy companies drill in the 19-million-acre (7.7-million-hectare) refuge. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut Democrat, again warned on Wednesday that he would filibuster legislation that allows drilling in the refuge. This is the greatest attempt to sting the American people except for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, referring to one of Redford's most famous movies. We can and will stop them, added Lieberman. The federal government has estimated that the Alaskan refuge could hold as much as 16 billion barrels of crude oil, enough to replace the amount of crude the United States imports from Iraq for 70 years. Critics say it would take at least seven years for oil production to begin, and that the drilling equipment and risk of a spill would threaten polar bears, caribou, migratory birds, and other wildlife. = ~~~ http://www.mattoledefense.org/alerts/08192001_video.html __ Do You Yahoo!?

[CTRL] POWs - the pawns of the nation during four wars
-Caveat Lector- http://www.sonic.net/sentinel/1earth.html POWs - the pawns of the nation during four wars By Harry V. Martin Copyright FreeAmerica and Harry V. Martin, 1995 The window of opportunity for the potential release or rescue of American POWs and MIAs from Southeast Asia has shut tight. Any hope that the U.S. government might find the resolution to have a full public disclosure on the fate of Americans from three wars, died both with the November elections and with the final report of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on POWs/MIAs. The Senate Select Committee, however, states, We want to make clear that this report is not intended to close the door on the issue. 1223-PAGE SENATE REPORT IS RELEASED The 1223-page Senate report was issued this year after nearly two years of hearings. Although the report concludes that no American POWs are alive in Southeast Asia, it does provide an insight into the secret dealings and manipulations of the Executive Branch of government in in handling the public on this issue. The Indochina war, itself, was partly a secret war and records were falsified at the time to maintain that secrecy, the report states. Ever-changing Defense Department policies confused families and others about the official status of the missing and obscured even the number of men who might possibly have remained alive. The official penchant for secrecy left many families, activists and even Members of Congress unable to share fully in their own government's knowledge about the fate of fellow citizens and loved ones and this, more than anything, contributed to the atmosphere of suspicion and doubt. Since the early 1970s, the United States government has indicated that all prisoners who were alive in Southeast Asian prison camps were repatriated. The government insisted, without any supportive evidence, that some 2500 Americans unaccounted for after a prisoner exchange, were dead. The Senate report now disputes that contention. U.S. officials cannot produce evidence that all of the missing are dead, the report states. Many of the factors that led to controversy surrounding the fates of Vietnam-era POW/MIAs are present, as well, with respect to the missing from World War II, Korea and the Cold War, the Senate report adds. Here, too, there have been barriers to gaining information from foreign governments; excessive secrecy on the part of our own government; and provocative reports, official and unofficial, about what might have happened to those left behind. POSSIBILITY AMERICANS MAY STILL BE ALIVE According to its own words, the Senate Select Committee was created to examine the possibility that unaccounted for Americans might have survived in captivity after POW repatriations at Odessa in World War II, after Operation Big Switch in Korea in 1953, after Cold War incidents, and particularly after Operation Homecoming in Vietnam in 1973. Whether the Committee has succeeded in its assigned tasks will be a matter for the public and for history to judge, the report states. Clearly, we cannot claim, nor could we have hoped, to have learned everything. We had neither the authority nor the resources to make case by case determinations with respect to the status of the missing. The job of negotiating, conducting interviews, visiting prisons, excavating crash sites, investigating live-sighting reports and evaluating archival materials can only be completed by the Executive branch. In summarizing its findings, the Senate Select Committee noted that President Richard Nixon had stated that all POWs are on the way home, and the Defense Department, following standard procedures, began declaring missing men dead. In 1976, the Montgomery Committee concluded that because there was no evidence that missing Americans had survived, they must be dead. In 1977, a Defense Department official said that the distinction between Americans still listed as POWs and those listed as missing had become academic. Nixon, Ford and Carter Administration officials all dismissed the possibility that American POWs had survived in Southeast Asia after Operation Homecoming, the report emphasized. Even while President Nixon declared all POWs were repatriated, the President had sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Laos stating, U.S. records show there are 317 American military men unaccounted for in Laos and it is inconceivable that only 10 of these men would be held prisoner in Laos. Yet dispite this protest, only 10 U.S. military personnel were released from Laos. The Senate Committee says that it cannot share that viewpoint. This Committee has uncovered evidence that precludes it from taking the same view. We acknowledge that there is no proof that U.S. POWs survived, but neither is there proof that all of those who did not return had died. There is evidence, moreover, that indicates the possibility of survival, at least for a small number, after Operation Homecoming. The Committee outlined its reasonings on this

-Caveat Lector- On 17th January 1961 Patrice Lumumba, first and only elected Prime Minister of Congo, was murdered. The circumstances of his death remained a mystery, the identity of his killers unknown. snip I recognised him as he walked towards my car, but when he told me what they wanted done I was totally, totally taken aback, says Devlin now. Joe from Paris was better known as the CIA's chief technical officer, Dr Sidney Gottlieb. He had brought with him a special tube of poisoned toothpaste. Devlin's job was to get the toothpaste into Lumumba's bathroom. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/audiovideo/programmes/correspondent/newsid_974000/974745.stm Speaking at a 1961 rally to mobilize Cubans for the imminent U.S. invasion, (Che) Guevara cited the recent murder of Patrice Lumumba as an example of what the empire is capable of. In the many pages devoted to events in the Congo (later Zaire), Anderson contests this claim (without mentioning it). Though he reports a plan by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb of the CIA's medical division to poison Lumumba, he states that before the CIA could get close to Lumumba, however, his own Congolese rivals did. But the CIA and the U.S. Embassy had already connived with these Congolese rivals--Moise Tshombe and Joseph Mobutu--to murder Lumumba. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JBFranklins/che.htm During the last few years, the public has become aware of several examples where U.S. Government researchers intentionally exposed Americans to potentially dangerous substances without their knowledge or consent. The Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, which I have been privileged to chair from 1993-94, has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the extent to which veterans participated in such research while they were serving in the U.S. military. This resulted in two hearings, on May 6, 1994, and August 5, 1994. http://www.gulfwarvets.com/senate.htm Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, has been a sacrament of artists, would-be prophets, and other such social chaff since the 1960s. Invented in 1938 by chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann while looking for an analeptic (circulatory stimulant), he found it had no effect on lab animals and forgot all about it. Years later, on the fateful day 16 of April, 1953, he accidentally absorbed a little through his fingertips and went flying on the first acid trip. By then the CIA had a ten-year-old program running, looking for interrogation drugs and truth serums. They'd played with caffeine, barbiturates, peyote, and marijuana. They also tried to get subjects to kill while under hypnosis, rounding out an operation seemingly concocted from the plots of situation comedies. Martin A. Lee and Bruce Shlain report in their Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD, and the Sixties Rebellion, that by 1953, the CIA had authorized project MK-ULTRA, designed to perfect mind-control drugs during the Cold War. http://www.historyhouse.com/in_history/lsd/ The man who hand-carried to Leopoldville (Kinshasa) 'lethal biological material' cultured specifically to kill Patrice Lumumba died on 15 March in Virginia. Sidney Gottlieb, 80, also known as Joseph Schneider, was born on 3 August 1918 to Hungarian Jewish immigrants. With a chemistry degree from Wisconsin and a doctorate in bio-organic chemistry from the California Institute of Technology, Dr Gottlieb joined the CIA in 1951 as chief of its technical services division. Two years later he was made responsible for a literally mind-manipulating project called MKULTRA, ironically along the same lines as Nazi scientists had experimented upon Jewish and other prisoners. http://www.africa2000.com/IMPACT/gottlieb.html According to Sidney Gottlieb, a medical doctor and former CIA agent, MKULTRA was established to investigate whether and how an individual's behavior could be modified by covert means. http://www.trufax.org/trans/roc7.html This memo, written by the CIA's Sidney Gottlieb, is one of the earliest records available from the MKULTRA project. One month after CIA Director Allen Dulles authorized the program, Gottlieb writes of a planned series of five major experiments which are to examine hypnotically induced anxieties, the relationship of personality to hypnosis, and other matters of the hypnotized mind. http://www.psychops.com/MK_ULTRA/mk_ultra.html Far from being a mysterious filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock was surprisingly candid in revealing his artistic and storytelling secrets.

[CTRL] ARMIES OF REPRESSION
-Caveat Lector- http://www.connix.com/~harry/90s-fbi.htm ARMIES OF REPRESSION The FBI, COINTELPRO and Far-Right Vigilante Networks By Tom Burghardt, BACORR-North --- Over the years, our approach to investigative problems in the intelligence field has given rise to a number of new programs, some of which have been most revolutionary, and it can be assumed that with a continued aggressive approach to these problems, new and productive ideas will be forthcoming. These ideas will not be increased in number or improved upon from the standpoint of accomplishments merely through the institution of a program such as COINTELPRO which is given another name, and which in fact, only encompasses everything that has been done or will be done in the future. J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director, Memorandum, July 15, 1964 [1] --- 1. COINTELPRO AND THE FAR-RIGHT: THE POLITICAL CONTEXT OF ANTI-CHOICE VIOLENCE Now that the Christian Right's anti-abortion, national cultural and holy war2 has evolved into a campaign of arson, murder and terror, mainstream feminist groups tied to the capitalist Democratic Party -- NOW, NARRAL, and The Feminist Majority Foundation -- are demanding that the FBI investigate anti-choice violence. In the wake of Rev. Paul Hill's assassination of Dr. John Bayard Britton; clinic escort, James Barrett; and the wounding of clinic escort, June Barrett, July 29 in Pensacola, FL, the drumbeat for federal intervention has reached deafening proportions. Armed U.S. Marshals, FBI agents using special investigative techniques, and police SWAT teams, however, will neither defend women seeking reproductive health care nor abortion providers; rather, such intervention will transform women's clinics into armed camps. The net result of such a massive show of firepower by the State will not guarantee women's safety at clinics. Neither will such intervention increase women's access to reproductive health care. Rather, police intervention on such a grand scale, plays into the hands of anti-choice terrorists. They believe that such displays of State power only assist their own propaganda efforts and tend to buttress their assertion that abortion is murder, and that women who control their bodies are doing something wrong. Despite U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno's statement that clinic violence, is a problem throughout the nation and that it is appropriate to address an issue of deep concern,3 two more women's clinics have been fire-bombed since Rev. Paul Hill's murderous rampage. A clinic in Falls Church, VA sustained more than $10,000 in damage, July 30, while a Planned Parenthood facility in Brainerd, Minnesota, was burned to the ground on August 10; the Minnesota facility did not perform abortions. During the same period these two clinics were attacked, a right-wing vigilante was arrested in Philadelphia outside a women's clinic; six molotov cocktails were seized from the trunk of his car. Reports of death threats against patients, doctors and health care workers since the Pensacola murders have skyrocketed. While the State is poised through the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (the FACE law), to legitimize anti-abortion thugs who sidewalk counsel and engage in other forms of harassment against women, gangsters such as convicted clinic bomber, Rev. Michael Bray, an endorser of Hill's Defensive Action Declaration insist: Anyone who truly believes that the slaughter of innocent children is what we have with abortion could go out and shoot an abortionist.4 Similarly, other supporters of the justifiable homicide position, go further. According to the Rev. David Trosch, even pharmacists might eventually become targets. I would see no problem with shooting a pharmacist, who provided a morning after pill to women who seek to terminate their pregnancies.5 Trosch, in a July 16 letter that predicted the massive killing of abortionists and their staffs, pointedly warned that clinic defenders and reproductive rights activists will be sought out and terminated as vermin are terminated.6 Rev. Trosch and C. Roy McMillan, Executive Director of the Christian Action Group in Jackson, Mississippi, believe that clinic escorts and clinic defenders act as accomplices, and therefore, are fair game for right-wing, anti-abortion vigilantes. McMillan, a weapons specialist who served two tours of duty in Vietnam, believes that, Twenty five years later I have not changed my opinion as to the justification of the U.S. intervention in Vietnam...I assume the enemy I killed were not Christian like me.7 Today, McMillan believes that the killing of unarmed escort, James Barrett, was no more than so-called collateral damage.8 Apparently, McMillan's ideological fervor will come in handy as he, and other zealots wage cultural civil war on the home front.

-Caveat Lector- Confessions of a Mild-Mannered Enemy of the State Part 1 (1945-1969) Childhood How I became an atheist Shimer College and first independent ventures Berkeley in the sixties Kenneth Rexroth How I became an anarchist --- If the world reproaches me for talking too much about myself, I reproach the world for not even thinking about itself. Montaigne [Childhood] I was born in 1945 in Louisiana, where my mother had gone to be with my father at an army camp. While he was overseas we lived on her parents farm in Minnesota. When he returned a couple years later, we moved to his home town in the Missouri Ozarks. Moving at a somewhat slower pace than most of the country, Plainstown still maintained much of that small-town, early-twentieth-century, pre-television American life idealized by Norman Rockwell the world of porch swings and lazy afternoons, Boy Scouts and vacant-lot baseball, square dances and church picnics, county fairs, summer camps, autumn leaves, white Christmases. That way of life has often been disparaged, but it did have some advantages over the plastic suburban lifestyle that was already beginning to replace it. Despite their naïveté in many regards, the inhabitants of the Show-Me State retained some vestiges of Mark Twainian skepticism and common sense. Even the poorest people often owned their own home or farm. Extended families provided a social cushion if anyone fell on hard times. Things were quiet and safe. A kid could grow up without much awareness of the problems in the outside world. Yearly visits to the Minnesota farm maintained another link with earlier traditions. I still remember burrowing in the huge hayloft in the old barn; exploring the Victorian house, with its old-fashioned furniture and intriguing things like a clothes chute that ran from the second floor all the way down to the musty basement full of strange curios and contraptions left over from the previous century; or traipsing after my grandfather, a spry old guy still working vigorously in the fields in his late eighties. My father was one of the last of the old-fashioned family doctors the kind who used to deliver successive generations of babies and who charged $5 for a house call, even if it was in the middle of the night or sometimes nothing at all if the family was in difficult circumstances. Like his father before him, he combined full-time doctoring with part-time farming; he still does a little of the latter, though he retired from medical practice a couple years ago. My mother was trained as a physical therapist, but spent most of her time as a homemaker taking care of me and my two sisters. My earliest and best friend, Sam, was two years older and lived just around the corner. We played all the typical games baseball, basketball, football, badminton, ping pong, kick the can, marbles, cards, Monopoly, Scrabble; but what I remember enjoying most of all were the activities that we created for ourselves elaborate constructions with Lincoln Logs or erector sets, deployment of little metal cowboys and Indians among forts and tunnels in a sandbox, building our own club house and tree house, putting on shows and carnivals for the other kids in the neighborhood. I also have fond memories of grade school. Although the educational system was not particularly progressive, it was very flexible and encouraging for me. Once I had demonstrated that the usual lessons were a breeze, the teachers allowed me, and to a lesser extent a few of my more intelligent classmates, to skip some of the routine tasks and pursue independently chosen projects researching geography, history, astronomy or atomic physics in the encyclopedias, compiling lists and charts, conducting experiments, constructing science exhibits. Outside class I read voraciously science, history and Pogo comics being my main favorites and learned some new games: tennis, pool, chess, and above all, bridge (a fascinating game I still enjoy reading books on bridge strategy, though Ive rarely played it since I left home). But here again, I remember with particular fondness the activities my friends and I devised for ourselves. Three of us created a little imaginary island world with extended families of characters cut out of foam, about whom we composed elaborate genealogies and stories. Another friend and I invented a game inspired by our fascination with the history of exploration. (Politically correct types will have a field day with this one.) He was England and I was France, each out to explore and colonize the rest of the world during the sixteenth century. We would close our eyes and point to a spot on a spinning globe, then throw three coins: the combination of heads and tails would determine how far we could travel from that spot (the distance depending on whether we traveled by sea, river or land) and how much territory we could claim. I think there were

-Caveat Lector- The Joy of Revolution Chapter 1: Some Facts of Life Utopia or bust Stalinist communism and reformist socialism are merely variants of capitalism Representative democracy versus delegate democracy Irrationalities of capitalism Some exemplary modern revolts Some common objections Increasing dominance of the spectacle --- Chapter 1: Some Facts of Life We can comprehend this world only by contesting it as a whole. . . . The root of the prevailing lack of imagination cannot be grasped unless one is able to imagine what is lacking, that is, what is missing, hidden, forbidden, and yet possible, in modern life. Situationist International(1) [Utopia or bust] Never in history has there been such a glaring contrast between what could be and what actually exists. Its hardly necessary to go into all the problems in the world today most of them are widely known, and to dwell on them usually does little more than dull us to their reality. But even if we are stoic enough to endure the misfortunes of others, the present social deterioration ultimately impinges on us all. Those who dont face direct physical repression still have to face the mental repressions imposed by an increasingly mean, stressful, ignorant and ugly world. Those who escape economic poverty cannot escape the general impoverishment of life. And even life at this pitiful level cannot continue for long. The ravaging of the planet by the global development of capitalism has brought us to the point where humanity may become extinct within a few decades. Yet this same development has made it possible to abolish the system of hierarchy and exploitation that was previously based on material scarcity and to inaugurate a new, genuinely liberated form of society. Plunging from one disaster to another on its way to mass insanity and ecological apocalypse, this system has developed a momentum that is out of control, even by its supposed masters. As we approach a world in which we wont be able to leave our fortified ghettoes without armed guards, or even go outdoors without applying sunscreen lest we get skin cancer, its hard to take seriously those who advise us to beg for a few reforms. What is needed, I believe, is a worldwide participatory-democracy revolution that would abolish both capitalism and the state. This is admittedly a big order, but Im afraid that nothing less can get to the root of our problems. It may seem absurd to talk about revolution; but all the alternatives assume the continuation of the present system, which is even more absurd. * * * [Stalinist communism and reformist socialism are merely variants of capitalism] Before going into what this revolution would involve and responding to some typical objections, it should be stressed that it has nothing to do with the repugnant stereotypes that are usually evoked by the word (terrorism, revenge, political coups, manipulative leaders preaching self-sacrifice, zombie followers chanting politically correct slogans). In particular, it should not be confused with the two principal failures of modern social change, Stalinist communism and reformist socialism. After decades in power, first in Russia and later in many other countries, it has become obvious that Stalinism is the total opposite of a liberated society. The origin of this grotesque phenomenon is less obvious. Trotskyists and others have tried to distinguish Stalinism from the earlier Bolshevism of Lenin and Trotsky. There are differences, but they are more of degree than of kind. Lenins The State and Revolution, for example, presents a more coherent critique of the state than can be found in most anarchist writings; the problem is that the radical aspects of Lenins thought merely ended up camouflaging the Bolsheviks actual authoritarian practice. Placing itself above the masses it claimed to represent, and with a corresponding internal hierarchy between party militants and their leaders, the Bolshevik Party was already well on its way toward creating the conditions for the development of Stalinism while Lenin and Trotsky were still firmly in control.(2) But we have to be clear about what failed if we are ever going to do any better. If socialism means peoples full participation in the social decisions that affect their own lives, it has existed neither in the Stalinist regimes of the East nor in the welfare states of the West. The recent collapse of Stalinism is neither a vindication of capitalism nor proof of the failure of Marxist communism. Anyone who has ever bothered to read Marx (most of his glib critics obviously have not) is aware that Leninism represents a severe distortion of Marxs thought and that Stalinism is a total parody of it. Nor does government ownership have anything to do with communism in its authentic sense of common, communal ownership; it is merely a different type of capitalism in which
[CTRL] [1986] New evidence links George Bush Sr. to Los Angeles drug operation
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsmakingnews.com/armitage11,1,00.htm New evidence links George Bush to Los Angeles drug operation by Edward Spannaus © Executive Intelligence Review (LaRouche) On Oct. 27, 1986, federal and local law enforcement officials executed search warrants on more than a dozen locations connected to a major cocaine-trafficking ring in southern California centered around Danilo Blandon.. One of the locations raided was the home of a former Laguna Beach police officer by the name of Ronald Lister. Los Angeles Sheriff's Department detectives reported that when they raided Lister's house, they found ``films of military operations in Central America, technical manuals, information on assorted military hardware and communications, and numerous documents indicating that drug money was being used to purchase military equipment for Central America.'' Documents were also found which diagrammed ``the route of drug money out of the United States, back into the United States purchasing weaponry for the Contras.'' An official report by one of the detectives from the 1986 raid stated: ``Mr. Lister ... told me he had dealings in South America and worked with the CIA and added that his friends in Washington weren't going to like what was going on. I told Mr. Lister that we were not interested in his business in South America. Mr. Lister replied that he would call Mr. Weekly of the CIA and report me.'' New evidence has now surfaced showing who some of Lister's ``friends in Washington'' were, and we shall see that these ``friends'' ran all the way up to the Office of the Vice President, at that time George Bush. Mark Richard's tell-tale notes Around the same time as the October 1986 drug raid, ``Mr. Weekly,'' whose full name is David Scott Weekly, became the subject of a federal investigation opened for the purpose of prosecuting him on federal explosives charges. According to later testimony, this investigation was under way for some time before Weekly himself first learned about it, which was on Dec. 21-22, 1986. But ten days before Weekly learned that he was being targetted, Bill Price, the U.S. Attorney in Oklahoma City handling Weekly's case, had a telephone conversation with a top official at Justice Department headquarters about some of the stickier aspects of the investigation. The official to whom Price talked was Mark Richard, a Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division, and the career Justice Department official who served as the Department's liaison to the intelligence agencies. The question arises: What might have triggered this conversation between Mark Richard--the DOJ's point of contact for the NSC, CIA, and military intelligence agencies--and the Oklahoma prosecutor? First of all, on Oct. 5, 1986, a C-123 cargo plane, flying from El Salvador's Ilopango military air base, had been shot down over Nicaragua. Three crewmen were killed, and the fourth, Eugene Hasenfus, was captured by the Nicaraguan Sandinistas. This was the beginning of the public unravelling of what became known as the ``Iran-Contra'' affair. Then came the Oct. 27 raid in Los Angeles, after which the Los Angeles FBI office communicated to FBI headquarters what had transpired, including Lister's claims of involvement in arming the Contras, and his citation of ``Mr. Weekly'' as being ``CIA'' and a ``DIA subcontractor''--referring to the Defense Intelligence Agency. (The FBI had already interviewed a businessman to whom Lister had bragged, on Aug. 1, that he was involved in arming the Contras, and that his arms deals were ``CIA approved.'') On Nov. 10, 1986, the FBI sent a teletype to various sections of the CIA, inquiring about Lister, Blandon, Weekly, and some others. The inquiry, over the name of the FBI Director, asked diplomatically if any of these individuals were ``of operational interest'' to the CIA. FBI documents also show that a teletype was sent to FBI headquarters on Dec. 9, followed up by a phone conversation with an FBI supervisor on Dec. 11--the same day that Mark Richard spoke to the prosecutor in Oklahoma City--who was at the time secretly preparing his case against Scott Weekly. In August 1987--less than a year later--Mark Richard was required to give testimony in the Congressional Iran-Contra investigation. While being interrogated about various matters in which there were allegations of Justice Department interference in Contra-related cases, Richard was specifically questioned about handwritten notes he had made during his Dec. 11 conversation with prosecutor Bill Price. Richard said that Bill Hendricks of the DOJ's Public Integrity Section, which was dealing with a lot of the Iran-Contra matters, had previously been in touch with Price. After examining his own notes, Richard said that the conversation pertained to ``an individual who had been arrested and his possible involvement in some CIA/Contra-related activities.'' (In fact, Scott Weekly was out of the country on Dec.
[CTRL] THE POWs, THE CIA DRUGS - UGLIER TRUTHS BEHIND THE SARIN GAS STORIES
-Caveat Lector- THE POWs, THE CIA DRUGS - UGLIER TRUTHS BEHIND THE SARIN GAS STORIES by Michael C. Ruppert © 7/23/98 http://www.sightings.com/political/sarincia.htm © COPYRIGHT 1998 Michael C. Ruppert. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Permission to reprint or excerpt only if the following appears: Reprinted by permission, Michael C. Ruppert From The Wilderness at www.copvcia.com. Did the CIA order the use of Sarin gas to kill American defectors in Southeast Asia? The answer to that question opens a black hole of ugly truths about U.S. foreign policy and covert operations. Those truths all lead to a central reality, which is that covert and paramilitary operations, as conducted by the U.S. Government, do not exist without drug trafficking. Equally tragic is the fact that drugs are a main reason why POWs didn't come home. The irony on the tragedy is that drugs were also used to fund several sabotaged covert missions to rescue them. The recent CNN reports on Operation Tailwind (referenced in the last issue of From The Wilderness), their retraction and the object lessons made of CNN Producer April Oliver and Peter Arnett point to much uglier and deeper truths about CIA covert operations than the fact that CIA used nerve gas to kill defectors and deserters in Southeast Asia. As From The Wilderness will show, there is a high probability that Sarin gas was used not only against defectors, but also against unwilling prisoners of war whom the government had decided would be a major embarrassment if they came home alive. Testimony and evidence exists to show that Sarin was in Laos at the time and that it was used at or near known POW camps in Laos. If true, those facts would shed a whole new light on the CNN stories. Those stories, flawed in their presentation, not only hinted at an ongoing feud between elements of the Navy and CIA, but came dangerously close to far more devastating truths about the CIA's involvement in the abandonment and murder of US servicemen left behind after Vietnam. Those truths undeniably lead back to the drug trade, the Central Intelligence Agency and the covert operatives who have destroyed American democracy. How does one tie the convoluted pieces together in a coherent manner? And, doing that, how does one stomach wanton betrayal of loyal Americans and values which are the foundation of any government's legitimacy? A government derives its right to exist from its mandate to protect its own people, especially those who risk life to serve it. What legitimacy then, does a government have which betrays and then sentences to death those who stood in the font lines of its exercise of power? First, let's address the issue of whether or not CIA, MACV-SOG and elements in the Pentagon wanted POW's dead or, at minimum, to ensure that they never came home? Many of the ugliest truths about deliberate U.S. abandonment or ordered extermination of POWs are extremely well documented in Monika Jensen-Stevenson's 1990 bestseller, Kiss The Boys Goodbye (Dutton). Stevenson, a former Emmy award winning Producer for CBS News' 60 Minutes, produced mountains of eyewitness statements, documents, and even admissions from Ronald Reagan and other White House officials as well as from intelligence experts in the Pentagon and the National Security Council showing that: the U.S. knowingly left POWs behind in Southeast Asia in 1973; the U.S. government sabotaged at least a half dozen rescue attempts with high probabilities for success; and that, the U.S. government ordered covert operatives to liquidate live POWs if sighted. On Pages 318-323, Stevenson described a failed 1981 POW rescue mission involving the perennial covert source (and often hard to fathom) Scott Barnes who wrote a book about the mission entitled BOHICA (Bend Over Here It Comes Again). After passing polygraph and truth serum exams Barnes recounted how he had been issued atropine (nerve gas antidote) injectors as a prelude to entering areas in Laos where POW camps were known to exist. He also states that, once in the region, he was ordered to liquidate the merchandise. Merchandise was the code word for POWs. (NOTE: Atropine was issued to U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf war to counter anticipated Sarin attacks by Iraq). If Barnes' statement was not enough, his return from the mission was immediately followed by the alleged violent suicide of Army chemical warfare and Sarin gas expert General Bobby Robinson. Local police doubted the suicide findings of the military. What's more, Robinson was known to have been involved in moving Sarin supplies into the region at the time. Stevenson confirmed this. Sources postulated a cover story to Stevenson that Robinson had been planting Sarin gas to blame the Soviets for its use and thus motivate Congress to increase chemical warfare budgets. Such operations are not unusual in covert operations and are hardly grounds for a suicide. As one source put it to me. It's much more likely that Robinson could have exposed

The shocking revelation has been confirmed by multiple sources: Macedonian intelligence agencies, as reported by several Macedonian media, including the leading daily Dnevnik; Russian press agencies, including Novosti and ItarTass; and the London Independent. This intelligence coheres with Lyndon LaRouche's assessment of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, as a strategic covert operation by an enemy within the U.S. and "allied" security services, for geopolitical purposes. The Russian media quoted, as the source of their detailed revelation, the Russian troops stationed not far from the reported terrorist training camp. This is in itself exceptional, in the sense that there is hardly a precedent of the Russian military in Kosovo reporting events of such gravity to the leading news agencies. These revelations, and the clear position taken by Macedonian intelligence in confirming and expanding them, are now reopening the explosive question of the protection and sponsorship granted to the narco-terrorists by Anglo-American agencies. But this is only a small part of the new strategic geometry opened up by the revelations. The red-hot political point concerns the very basis for the "war against terrorism" launched after the war-like attacks of Sept. 11, and the immediate concentration on bin Laden and Afghanistan as the perpetrators of those attacksand the threatened extension of the "infinite war" to Syria, Iraq, and so on. If the Anglo-Americans are at "war" with bin Laden's terrorism, why are bin Laden operatives active in Kosovo in an area totally controlled by NATO? Furthermore, in the U.S. zone in Kosovo? Investigations on the bin Laden connection into the Balkans and Kosovo could, according to experts, lead to even more explosive truths in a very short period of time. Keep The Clash Going On Oct. 16 Novosti reported: "A training camp of Albanian militants functions near the village of Ropotovo, close to Kosovska Kamenica, in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo, which is controlled by the American force, sources from the Russian peacekeeping force in Kosovo reported on [Oct. 16]. According to [the sources], the camp is now training 50 Afghan and Algerian mujahideen, led by Zaiman Zawahiri. He is reportedly the brother of one of the closest associates of international terrorist Osama bin Laden. This camp prepares militants for terrorist formations in Kosovo and Macedonia. Their 'instructors' are former [ethnic] Albanian officers who, in 1991-92, deserted from the Yugoslav Army." The Independent reported on Oct. 21 that Interpol has linked bin Laden to Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) crime gangs, and that he "supplied one of his top military commanders for an elite KLA unit" in Kosovo. That was only the beginning. The target of the terrorist gangs' deployment into Macedonia: to prevent, by violence, the return of Macedonian refugees into the villages "cleansed" by the KLA during this year; and to take over the water reserve on which the Macedonian capital, Skopje, depends. Beyond that, these extremists are out to re-ignite the ethnic "Clash of Civilizations" in the Balkans, to crush the escalating resistance of Macedoniawhich has been actively playing the LaRouche card in response to its national crisis (see EIR, Oct. 19)and to continue the march of destruction, possibly triggering in the near future, an ethnic upheaval in Greece or Bulgaria. The fact that such an operation is taking place in the middle of the "war on the Taliban and al-Qaeda"the fact that NATO's Lord George Robertson, U.S. Ambassador James Pardew, and the European Union's Javier Solana insist, to this very day, that Macedonia has to surrender to the KLA ultimata, including the subversion of the Macedonian Constitution, opens up a dramatic contradiction. That contradiction throws light on the virtual reality the world has been propelled into after the Sept. 11 attacks. Who Runs Al-Zawahiri? The Macedonian daily Dnevnik reported on Oct. 19 that the group

[CTRL] FREE PROZAC !?!
-Caveat Lector- http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0%2C4586%2C5099746%2C00.html WebMD offers free Prozac Reuters November 16, 2001 3:27 PM PT In what may be a sign of the times, one down-and-out dot-com is offering free Prozac to depressed consumers as part of a promotion by a drug company. The Indianapolis pharmaceutical maker Eli Lilly has teamed with money-losing Internet healthcare company WebMD to offer Americans a free month's supply of the famed antidepressant. TV commercials direct consumers to the WebMD Web site where they can sign up for one month of free Prozac through a special promotion with Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly, whose brand flashes up on the screen. The direct-to-consumer advertising campaign, launched more than six months ago, appears to have gained momentum since Sept. 11 with more frequent television ads and a prominent display offer on WebMD's home page. The offer also appears with a coupon in newspapers and magazines. Preying on the angst in America? Absolutely not, said Eli Lilly spokeswoman Debbie Davis. This is aimed at patients who have already been diagnosed with depression and have been stabilized on fluoxetine. For them, this is another treatment option. Both Davis and a representative for WebMD declined to provide details about the advertising campaign. Prozac has already lost about 80 percent of its market share since the generic form of fluoxetine, its chemical name, was introduced in August; Eli Lilly has been pushing its once-a-week form of Prozac, which has no generic-brand competition. Sold in over 100 countries, more than 39 million people have taken Prozac since its launch in 1988. Despite an onslaught of competition, Prozac is still the world's best-selling antidepressant. = ~~~ http://www.math.missouri.edu/~rich/MGM/primer.html http://www.tlio.demon.co.uk/tonyhom.htm http://www.bilderberg.org/cia.htm http://www.apfn.org/apfn/unnerstall_fax.htm http://www.maebrussell.com/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

It is now time for European medical associations loudly to condemn the North American medical community for participating in and profiting from what is by any standard a senseless and barbaric sexual mutilation of innocent children. Fleiss PM. MD, MPH. Circumcision. Lancet 1995;345:927[1] Custom will reconcile people to any atrocity. George Bernard Shaw What is done to children, they will do to society. Karl Menninger, MD The American medical establishment has promoted male circumcision as a preventative measure for an astonishing array of pathologies, ranging from masturbatory insanity, moral laxity, aesthetics and hygiene, to headache, tuberculosis, rheumatism, hydrocephalus, epilepsy, paralysis, alcoholism, near-sightedness, rectal prolapse, hernia, gout, clubfoot, urinary tract infections, phimosis, cancer of the penis, cancer of the cervix and sexually transmitted diseases.[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] But the only rationale which has clear, well established scientific support is the one originally and openly used by the medical establishment when medical circumcision was introduced as a public health measure in the Victorian era. That is, to punish and control the sexuality of male children. Victorian doctors knew something that modern medicine has chosen to ignore: the foreskin is at the heart of male sexuality. A typical western medical circumcision results in the loss of approximately 1/2 of the total surface area of the penis and between 50 and 80% or more of its erogenous sexual nerves,[8, 9, 10] including: o The Taylor ridged band*, the primary erogenous zone of the male body. This unique, highly specialized and exquisitely sensitive structure is equipped with soft ridges designed by nature to stimulate the female's G-spot during intercourse. o The frenulum, the highly erogenous V-shaped tethering structure on the underside of the head of the penis. o Between 10,000 and 20,000 specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types, which can feel slight variations in pressure and stretching, subtle changes in temperature, and fine gradations in texture. o Thousands of coiled fine-touch receptors called Meissner's corpuscles, which are also found in the fingertips. Also lost are: o The foreskin's gliding action, the non-abrasive gliding of the shaft of the penis within its own sheath, which facilitates smooth, comfortable and pleasurable intercourse for both partners. *Sometimes called the frenar band o The immunological defense system of the foreskin, which produces immunoglobulin antibodies and antibacterial and antiviral proteins such as the pathogen-killing enzyme lysozyme, a potent HIV killer which is also found in tears and mothers' milk. o Estrogen receptors, the purpose of which is not fully understood. o The foreskin's apocrine glands, which produce pheromones. o The protection and lubrication of the erogenous surface of the penis, which is designed by nature to be an internal organ like the vagina. Natural sex involves contact between two internal organs.[11 ] In essence, medical male genital mutilation (MGM) is the pathologization and treatment of the disease of male sexuality. I was quite happy (delirious, in fact) with what pleasure I could experience beginning with foreplay and continuing as an intact male. After my circumcision, that pleasure was utterly gone. Let me put it this way: On a scale of 10, the uncircumcised penis experiences pleasure that is at least 11 or 12; the circumcised penis is lucky to get to 3... (From a letter to Marilyn Milos, RN, Founder/Director of NOCIRC)[12 ] [Like] wearing a condom or wearing a glove ... sight without color would be a good analogy ... only being able to see in black and white ... rather than seeing in full color would be like experiencing an orgasm with a foreskin and without. There are feelings you'll just never have without the foreskin. (Paul Tardiff, circumcised at age 30)[12 ] The 1999 British Journal of Urology Supplement has a study of American women who have experienced sex with both intact and circumcised partners. The results of the survey are truly astonishing. Among other things, the vast majority of surveyed women indicated that they overwhelmingly prefer

GeoCities - quick and easy web site hosting, just $8.95/month. http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/info1 ---BeginMessage--- Mechanics of Brutality Now let's examine how a typical medical circumcision is performed. First the child, after 9 months in the fetal position, is tied down spreadeagled and straight-backed in a circumstraint, a plastic board molded to the outline of an infant's body, which is equipped with velcro straps. Next he is covered with a sheet which has a hole through which his penis is threaded. Then his penis is thoroughly swabbed with sterilizing solution. Naturally, this frequently provokes an erection. Some physicians deliberately provoke erections in order to judge the cutoff line and to aid in the surgery itself. In other words, in the infant's brand new, wide-open, pre-verbal consciousness, this is his first sexual experience: a torturous nightmare.[50 , 51, 52, 53, 54] Because the foreskin of an infant is attached to the head of the penis by the same tissue that bonds a fingernail to a finger, it must be skinned away before it can be cut off. So the doctor forces a metal probe between the foreskin and the head and tears apart this flesh (called synechia) which bonds them together. Next, the doctor has several options for the actual amputation. One commonly used device for this step is called a gomco clamp. This essentially functions as a thumbscrew for the foreskin. I am not making this up. By positioning the clamp and tightening a screw, the foreskin, one of the most densely innervated tissues of the body, is simultaneously crushed along two lines (inner and outer foreskin) around its circumference. The clamp is left on for a few minutes to promote blood clotting, then the foreskin is cut off at the crush line.[55 , 56, 57] Afterwards, the raw, bleeding, formerly internal organ is wrapped in bandages and a diaper, and then repeatedly burned with urine and its breakdown product, ammonia, and exposed to infectious fecal matter while healing. For many years the mainstream medical orthodoxy, put forth after it was no longer acceptable to torture children in the name of moral hygiene, was that babies don't feel pain. It wasn't until 1978 that researchers even suggested using anesthetic during circumcision, and even today, most medical circumcisions are performed without anesthesia, according to the AMA.[58 ] This is in stark contrast to what is known about infant pain perception and its profound and lasting effects on the victim, as well as the plainly obvious reaction of the infant boy, who forcefully communicates his torment to anyone who will look and listen. Choking and breathing problems arise due to the continuous screaming. Surges in adrenaline and cortisol and large increases in heart rate, all established physiological indicators of torture, have been measured.[59 ] Some babies appear to go into shock.[41 ] Later, problems with sleep, mother-child bonding and breastfeeding, and increased sensitivity to stress and pain are all commonly seen after MGM.[60 , 61, 62] To all appearances, the infant is left in a state of post-traumatic stress. Sometimes older boys have recurring flashbacks of their circumcision, a classic sign of PTS. Impaired bonding at this critical stage is well correlated with social dysfunction and even criminality later in life, while breast feeding is known to have many health and psychological benefits for both the mother and the baby,[63 , 51, 52, 64] contrary to American medical doctrine of only a few years ago. In a definitive study of neonatal pain perception published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1987, the authors wrote: Numerous lines of evidence suggest that even in the human fetus, pain pathways as well as cortical and subcortical centers necessary for pain perception are well developed late in gestation, and the neurochemical systems now known to be associated with pain transmission are intact and functional.[65 ] Research for a study on the efficacy of various types of pain relief during circumcision, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1997, was halted early because researchers began to question the ethics of subjecting their placebo group to MGM without anesthesia. Of 11 infants in the placebo group, two experienced prolonged periods of apnea, and one infant had an episode of projectile vomiting and a sudden lack of tone in limbs.[66 ] Other immediate pain-related complications of infant MGM include heart injury, pneumothorax (a stress-caused life-threatening condition involving the introduction of air into the chest cavity), and gastric rupture.[59 ] I have assisted with about 200 [circumcisions] [...] Babies scream so hard that they end up with their faces red and mouths

Elizabeth McAlister had not heard from her husband, Philip Berrigan, in more than a week. Such silence on Berrigan's part was most unusual, she says. Convinced that something was wrong, she telephoned the Federal Correctional Institution in Elkton, Ohio, where the seventy-seven-year-old peace activist is serving a sentence of a year and a day for hammering on a military aircraft while on probation for a similar action in another state. It took ten phone calls to the prison to get them to admit to me that he was in segregation, she says. McAlister also learned that Berrigan was being denied all phone calls and visits, even from family members. I was not told why or for how long. So McAlister telephoned the office of her Senator, Maryland Democrat Barbara Mikulski. Mikulski's office called the prison and, according to McAlister, was told that Phil was put in segregation on September 11, 2001, as a direct consequence of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, [and] that this was done 'for his protection.' But that explanation did not ring true. If Philip is in segregation 'for his protection,' why the punitive denial of visits from his family? McAlister wrote to Mikulski. On September 20, Mikulski wrote her own letter--to Kathleen Hawk Sawyer, Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I would appreciate being advised of Mr. Berrigan's status and an explanation as to the reasoning for that status, the Senator said. The reason Mikulski received differed markedly from the information her own office had obtained several days earlier. The October 1 letter, from Michael B. Cooksey, Assistant Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, said that Berrigan had been placed in administrative detention for security reasons, pending a review of his case. It added, The Warden may occasionally restrict certain privileges afforded inmates, such as visiting and telephone calls, to ensure the orderly running of the institution and to protect the public. The letter also in-formed Mikulski that Berrigan's case has been reviewed, and he was released to general population on September 21, 2001. Additionally, his visiting and telephone restrictions have been lifted. In a letter to The Progressive dated October 25, Berrigan describes his experience. On September 11, I watched appalled as the second tower of the WTC came down. The guards called me out, took me to the lieutenant's office, shackled and handcuffed me, and took me to solitary. I inquired several times as to why. One guard grunted, 'Security!' During twelve days in segregation, no further daylight was provided. One lieutenant came to announce, 'No phone, no visitors!' And no stamps. I was locked down ten days before mailing out letters. The result? Limbo-incommunicado. It was perhaps Ashcroft's idea. Lock up all the naysayers, he says. Berrigan's hunch about Attorney General John Ashcroft may have been right. On October 31, the Department of Justice published new rules, effective upon publication, that impose special administrative measures with respect to specified inmates. The document, entitled National Security: Prevention of Acts of Violence and Terrorism, was signed by Attorney General John Ashcroft on October 26 and published in the Federal Register. Under the new rules, the Department of Justice, based on information from the head of a federal law enforcement or intelligence agency, will select certain prisoners for special administrative measures. These may include housing the inmate in administrative detention (another term for isolation) and denying that inmate correspondence, visiting, interviews with representatives of the news media, and use of the telephone, as is reasonably necessary to prevent the disclosure of classified information. Prior to these new rules, the amount of time an inmate could be held under such conditions was limited to 120 days, although the Department of Justice had the authority to renew the stay in isolation. The new regulations authorize the Bureau of Prisons to hold an inmate incommunicado for a period of time designated by the Director [of the Bureau of Prisons], up to one year. In addition, The rule also allows for the Director to extend the period for the special administrative measures for additional one-year periods, based on subsequent certifications from the head of an intelligence agency. The Attorney General's rationale for these actions? Where the head of an intelligence agency has certified to

GeoCities - quick and easy web site hosting, just $8.95/month. http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/info1 ---BeginMessage--- Hello World City, I have received the following from Alan Lewis: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brzezinski/CFR War Plans in 1997 Book: The Grand Chessboard -- NOTE: this communication has been RATED IN THE SUBJECT LINE, thus: * : of possible interest or amusement-value; worth a glance ** : interesting; of modest import; a must-SKIM *** : very interesting; of high import; vital; a must-READ : extremely interesting; essential; critical; a must-STUDY All in my best estimation. Your Mileage May Vary. *Caveat Surfor!* -- The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, The Trilateral Commission - founded by Brzezinski for David Rockefeller - and the Bilderberger Group, have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens. -- Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D., former German defense ministry official and advisor to former NATO Secretary General Manfred Werner [Brzezinski notes], quite clearly (p.53) that any nation that might become predominant in Central Asia would directly threaten the current U.S. control of oil resources in the Persian Gulf. In reading the book it becomes clear why the U.S. had a direct motive for the looting of some $300 billion in Russian assets during the 1990s, destabilizing Russia's currency (1998) and ensuring that a weakened Russia would have to look westward to Europe for economic and political survival, rather than southward to Central Asia. A dependent Russia would lack the military, economic and political clout to exert influence in the region and this weakening of Russia would explain why Russian President Vladimir Putin has been such a willing ally of U.S. efforts to date. -- Zbigniew Brzezinski and the CFR Put War Plans In a 1997 Book It Is A Blueprint for World Dictatorship, Says a Former German Defense and NATO Official Who Warned of Global Domination in 1984, in an Exclusive Interview With FTW by Michael C.

Posting on any .com web site is prohibited without express written consent from the author.] THE GRAND CHESSBOARD - American Primacy And It's Geostrategic Imperatives, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Basic Books, 1997. These are the very first words in the book: Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power. - p. xiii. Eurasia is all of the territory east of Germany and Poland, stretching all the way through Russia and China to the Pacific Ocean. It includes the Middle East and most of the Indian subcontinent. The key to controlling Eurasia, says Brzezinski, is controlling the Central Asian Republics. And the key to controlling the Central Asian republics is Uzbekistan. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Uzbekistan was forcefully mentioned by President George W. Bush in his address to a joint session of Congress just days after the attacks of September 11 as the very first place that the U.S. military would be deployed. As FTW has documented in previous stories, major deployments of U.S. and British forces had taken place before the attacks. And the U.S. Army and the CIA had been active in Uzbekistan for several years. There is now evidence that what the world is witnessing is a cold and calculated war plan - at least four years in the making - and that, from reading Brzezinski's own words about Pearl Harbor, the World Trade Center attacks were just the trigger needed to set the final conquest in motion. -- FTW, November 7, 2001, 1200 PST - There's a quote often attributed to Allen Dulles after it was noted that the final 1964 report of the Warren Commission on the assassination of JFK contained dramatic inconsistencies. Those inconsistencies, in effect, disproved the Commission's own final conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone on November 22, 1963. Dulles, a career spy, Wall Street lawyer, the CIA director whom JFK had fired after the 1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco - and the Warren Commission member who took charge of the investigation and final report - is reported to have said, The American people don't read. Some Americans do read. So do Europeans and Asians and Africans and Latin Americans. World events since the attacks of

-Caveat Lector- http://www.trufax.org/chrono/crk.html This initial historical analysis was assembled as a chronological chart and took months to accomplish. It is by no means complete. Resting on the known fact that the universe is stranger that you think it is, extreme flexibility was allowed relative to the entries in the chronology, sometimes reaching into the fringe. Of course, that's were all the fun is. Whether you realize it or not, experience means knowing the unknown, even if if might seem ridiculous to the logical or linear mind, very strange facts have been known to come together in strange ways. They always do. When you examine the chronology, which was for me an organizational research tool, keep that in mind. I decided to include it in the book because I thought you might somehow find it useful in your own examination. Don't get into a state because you feel I left something out or didn't include something else or shouldn't have included this. I did it for me, remember? Items are there because of informational relationship within the overall paradigm under examination. Names are not changed to unprotect the ignorant dullards who decided to try and run the show. Silly rabbit. Kids need love, not psychotherapy and psychocybernetic control. I trust you will find the following to be of use in your overall investigations. 1987 CIA William Casey dies of pneumonia following brain surgery to remove a tumor. 1987 The General Accounting Office (GAO) completes a two-year study of cancer statistics. The results validate Bailar and Smith (See 1986). According to the GAO, $2 billion per year was spent on cancer research (more than 50% of it government funds). Depsite this enormous expense, only slight improvement in cancer patient survival was indicated for the 30-year period 1950-1982. The GAO study was shelved to protect the cancer industry. 1987 Bernard J. Eastlund issued patent # 4,686,605, based on Tesla technology, for Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earths Atmosphere. The patent is immediately classified by the Navy for six years. (See 1994 and discussion of HAARP). Part of the patent reads, this invention provides the ability to put unprecedented amounts of power in the atmosphere at strategic locations and to maintain the power injection level, particularly if random pulsing is employed and by knowing the frequencies employed in this invention, a third party can sustain a communications network while the rest of the world's communications are interrupted, and could be employed to pick up signals of others for intelligence purposes. 1987 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) releases a study indicating that the Hib vaccine shows an efficacy (effectiveness) rate of 41%. Children were found to be five times more likely to contract the disease than those not vaccinated. 1987 Star Wars budget is 4.1 billion. Intelligence budget $35 billion. 1987 Altantic Monthly magazine elaborates on how EM weaponry has been developed with the ability to both affect the nervous system and to induce death. 1987 CDC now refuses to give out figures relative to hepatitis vaccinations and HIV+ to justify their claims. 1987 The Philadelphia Daily News carries a story that Colonel David L. Huxsoll, chief of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) told a meeting of Soviet scientists that Soviet charges that the U.S. military created the HIV virus constituted disinformation. 1987 Iran-Contra Hearings. In a conversation between Rep. Jack Brooks and Senator Inouye, Inouye declines to answer Brooks question about FEMA and suspension of rights in the US, deferring an answer to a closed executive session. 1987 Project Moonscan allegedly gets under way for prepositioning mind control technology on the Moon to influence Earth's population. Managed by Airborn Instrument Labs and run by Eaton Corporation. DOD takes over management in 1988. 1987 In its own dreamworld that ignors everyone else, the American Cancer Society on March 15th officially announces that caught early enough, breast cancer has cure rates approaching 100 percent. (Note: The ACS definition of cured involves life for 5 years after diagnosis, so early detection would in fact artificially increase the ACS cure rate). 1987 LA policeman dies after finding CIA heroin distribution point in LA, CA. 1987 Murder rate in the US jumps to 600:100,000. 1987 Estimated cases of rape number 910,000 in the United States.

[CTRL] Man Claims CIA Tied to Speed Ring
-Caveat Lector- http://alexconstantine.50megs.com/man_claims_cia.html Man Claims CIA Tied to Speed Ring Dallas Morning News September 13, 1989 By Lee Hancock A methamphetamine ring based in Mesquite was set up by a CIA operative to funnel money to the Nicaraguan contras, one of the alleged participants has testified in federal court. The testimony came during a hearing in Tulsa, where Loran Eugene Hall, Jr. appeared Monday to plead guilty to drug charges. He told the court that his father, Loran Eugene Hall, Sr. of Mesquite was a CIA agent who recruited him and others to manufacture speed to raise money for the contras, said Jack Morgan, assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma. A CIA spokesman declined to comment Tuesday on Mr. Hall's case. We do not generally acknowledge the employment of either covert or overt employees, said Mark Mansfield, an official at CIA headquarters in McLean, Va. I would add that the agency does not sanction violations of U.S. law. A federal drug conspiracy indictment handed down in Tulsa in July names Loran Eugene Hall, Sr., 59; his daughter, Barbara Ann Marteney, 34, of Mesquite; and his sons, Michael Stephen Hall, 36, of Burns, Kan., and Loran Eugene Hall, Jr., 34, of Derby, Kan; and two other Kansas residents. The indictment charges that the elder Mr. Hall led the ring, which manufactured methamphetamines between October 1987 and February 1989. Loran Hall Jr. and Michael Hall pleaded guilty Monday. Their father and sister remain at large. Court documents indicate the ring was broken when the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics investigators and Mesquite police trailed Loran Hall, Jr. after he purchased glassware and chemicals at a Grand Prairie chemical store. Mr. Hall and another man were arrested in Noble County, Okla., as they were carrying those items and several high-caliber forearms to Kansas in a stolen truck, according to the indictment Mr. Morgan, a Mesquite police investigator and defense attorney representing Hall family members all said there was evidence suggesting that Loran Hall, Sr. worked for the CIA in some capacity. He has a long history of involvement with the CIA attempts to overthrow Castro, Mr. Morgan said. He was involved in the ill-famed Bay of Pigs invasion. In 1961, he got arrested with a truckload of guns in Texas, and he was transporting them from California to Florida for that invasion. His name also has surfaced in congressional investigations of the John F. Kennedy assassination. The elder Mr. Hall was described in a 1979 House Select Committee on Assassinations report as a onetime resident of Cuba with ties to anti-Castro groups in the United States and organized crime on both countries. And, Mr. Morgan said, his name is the subject of a chapter in the book Coup d'etat in America, which speculates about CIA involvement in a plot to kill President Kennedy. The chapter, titled Loran Hall and the Free Cuba Committees, details allegations of CIA financing and orchestration of a plot by anti-Castro groups to kill President Kennedy. In the last few years, he supposedly was involved with CIA attempts to overthrow the Nicaraguan government, Mr. Morgan said. Loran Eugene Hall, Jr. has told investigators that his father was a 17-year CIA employee most recently involved in running guns to Central America, Mr. Morgan said. The son also has told investigators about incidents in which helicopters appeared at his father's Kansas farm bearing men who carried automatic weapons and answered to military titles such as colonel and major, Mr. Morgan said. It may be true. There's quite an extensive history on his father's CIA involvement, Mr. Heflet said. My client told me that a lot of his dad's involvement, specifically in the Kennedy assassination, has been sealed up, and we never may find out what it was. Mr. Morgan said federal officials believe the elder Mr. Hall may be hiding in Kansas, Honduras or Costa Rica. This is a pretty strange case all around, Mr. Morgan said. = ~~~ http://www.tlio.demon.co.uk/tonyhom.htm http://www.bilderberg.org/cia.htm http://www.apfn.org/apfn/unnerstall_fax.htm __ Do You Yahoo!?

[CTRL] Whistleblower on CIA Brainwashing in Canada
-Caveat Lector- http://alexconstantine.50megs.com/whistleblower_on_cia.html Whistleblower on CIA Brainwashing in Canada The Toronto Sun Feb. 1, 1998 Montrealer Alexander Legault, who says he'll be persecuted by the CIA if he returns to the United States, is seeking refugee status in Canada. by Tom Godfrey A U.S. man who claims he'll be persecuted by the CIA for blowing the whistle on a Montreal brainwashing experiment is fighting to become one of the few Americans to be granted refugee status here. Alexander Henri Legault, 49, a Wisconsin native who has lived in Canada for 17 years, will find out in days if he'll be granted asylum by an Immigration and Refugee Board. About 40 Americans yearly claim status here, but very rarely are they accepted, immigration files show. Legault, a Montreal food exporter who's married to a Canadian and is the father of four children, filed his claim in 1993 after immigration officials refused to extend his visa. Legault and his lawyers claim he'll be persecuted by the CIA for obtaining documents that led to nine Canadians being compensated $100,000 each in 1988. They were guinea pigs in brainwashing experiments, code named MK Ultra, at Montreal's Allan Memorial Institute in the '50s and '60s. Legault's mother-in-law was one of the survivors of the experiment which was made into a CBC mini-series, The Sleep Room, that aired three weeks ago. The experiments, headed by the late Dr. Ewen Cameron and funded by the CIA, subjected unwitting patients to hallucinogenic drugs, weeks of forced sleep and massive doses of shock therapy. I can't sleep living in limbo, Legault told The Sunday Sun. The CIA is upset because I provided a list of their projects. His lawyer, Richard Kurland, said MK-Ultra was one of 100 brainwashing programs the CIA funded. He said the CIA is outraged that Legault's tip led to the compensation of victims. The Sun has obtained transcripts of Legault's top-secret refugee claim, which began in July 1996 in Montreal and wrapped up in June 1997. Testifying under oath was former CIA agent-turned-author Philip Agee, who's written several books about the agency, and Ari Ben Menashe, a former intelligence adviser to former Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Shamir. Agee, who recruited and ran CIA spies for 11 years in South America,testified that he has been hounded by the agency since he began writing books about them. The CIA will retaliate if someone does them harm, Agee testified. Menashe, 45, now a Canadian citizen, testified in June last year that he flew twice to Virginia, to meet retired U.S. admiral Stansfield Turner,who was the CIA director under former president Jimmy Carter. He said Turner, now a consultant, agreed to help with the case for $50,000, but Legault refused to pay. William Schaap, 57, an expert witness on the CIA, testified that the MK-Ultra experiment was one of the most frightening ever conducted by the CIA. The agency had a fundamental disregard for the value of human life, a U.S. Senate committee said of the experiment. Schaap testified that the CIA had infiltrated the U.S. and Canadian communist parties, and owned 100 media organizations worldwide. It also experimented with hundreds of chemical and biological testing programs, which saw a cold virus spread over San Francisco in the '50s, exposed whooping cough in Tampa, Fla, in 1955 and a cold bacteria in the New York subway system in 1966, Schaap testified. = ~~~ http://alexconstantine.50megs.com/an_international_guide.html http://www.tlio.demon.co.uk/tonyhom.htm http://www.bilderberg.org/cia.htm http://www.apfn.org/apfn/unnerstall_fax.htm __ Do You Yahoo!?
