... WhatDIDN'Treallyhappen.com. Devoted to smashing conspiracy
theories
and humiliating their purveyors!

 Monday, June 24, 2002 ::

A flimsy attempt at a snappy rejoinder. A nameless blogger (another
one of those valiant dissidents who's afraid of the Treasury agents
underneath his bed) has tried his hand at refuting my Ruppert
timeline
post below. He has his own conspiracy yarns, including a Vince  Foster
redux, exposing the Cliff Baxter suicide sham.

In any event, his prodding of my timeline focuses on items 3 and 4,
in
which Ruppert first claims the
Unocal pipeline deal failed because the Taliban's price was too high

(in 1997), and that Unocal VP John Maresca testified a year later
that
the deal would not be feasible unless and until a stable Afghan
regime
was in place. Predictably, this mystery blogger does not see the
incongruity here.

but presumably that doesn't necessarily follow. The 1997  negotiations
could have failed over
money, and the Unocal Vice President could also have testified  before
the House that the pipeline would not be built before there was a
stable government in Afghanistan.

I suppose you could make this argument if Afghanistan had slid into
chaos between 1997 and 1998, but the truth of the matter is that the

Taliban continued to consolidate its rule after 1996, and the  country
was certainly more stable (inasmuch as a country living under the
most
brutal, Luddite tyranny the world has seen since the Khmer Rouge can

be called stable) in 1998 than 1997, when Unocal was supposedly
haggling over a price. Prudent entrepreneurs ensure the investment  is
a secure one before they negotiate a price, not after.

The argument then progresses to Unocal's recent press release  stating
that it no longer had any
interest in building the pipeline, which we are to believe is a
case,
I dare say, of protesting too much. Uh-huh. If Unocal had released
it
out of the blue, but what he doesn't tell you is that it was in
response to a report that it was the lead company in the  pipeline's
construction. Protesting too much is something corporations sort  of
have to do from time to time, as they depend of what are called
investors who give special slips of paper called money for their
stock, based on the decisions the corporation makes.

Moron.

But here's the best part of the missive:

Ruppert's strength isn't in any particlar part of the timeline, but
in
the sheer quantity of

suspicious details.

So you see, it doesn't matter if none of Ruppert's weak assumptions,

distortions, logic fallacies, and outright factual errors, hold any
water. The fact that he is able to come up with such a wealth of
idiotic arguments proves him right!

It should also be noted that this despicable pig also notes (again,
in
what is apparently his own yarn)
the fact that only one flag officer - Lt. Gen. Timothy Maude - died
in
the attack as proof that there was foreknowledge, snidely remarking,

I guess he didn't get the memo.

Thanks for reminding me why I devote so much time to humiliating you

people, Mr. Xymphora.
Fucktard.

Mike Ruppert’s bullshit-riddled timeline (Part 1). NOTE: This is the

first in what will be at least a 5-part series refuting Mike
Ruppert’s
conspiratorial timeline point by point. It may grow longer, as
Ruppert continues to add more allegations, in lieu of actually
providing evidence to support his older ones.

David Corn may not have the space to devote to Ruppert’s entire
timeline – which contains most of
his purported evidence of government foreknowledge of, and
complicity in, the 9/11 attacks.

But I do. From the top…

FTW, November 2, 2001 – 1200 PST – On October 31, the French daily  Le
Figaro dropped

a bombshell. While in a Dubai hospital receiving treatment for a
chronic kidney infection last July, Osama bin Laden met with a top
CIA
official - presumably the Chief of Station. The meeting, held in bin

Laden’s private suite, took place at the American hospital in Dubai
at
a time when he was a wanted fugitive for the bombings of two U.S.
embassies and this year’s attack on the U.S.S. Cole. Bin Laden was
eligible for execution according to a 2000 intelligence finding
issued
by President Bill Clinton before leaving office in January. Yet on
July 14th he was allowed to leave Dubai on a private jet and there
were no Navy fighters waiting to force him down.

Now, let’s go back to the October 31 story by Le Figaro – the one
that
has Osama bin Laden
meeting with a CIA officer in Dubai this June.

The story says that, Throughout his stay in the hospital, Osama Bin

Laden received visits
from many family members [There goes the story that he’s a black
sheep!] and Saudi Arabian Emirate personalities of status. During
this
time the local representative of the CIA was seen by many people
taking the elevator and going to bin Laden’s room.

Re: [CTRL] On CNN Manipulating Images (fwd)

2001-09-17 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

Posted to Marxmail by Jose Perez:

[Following the recent spate or repostings of the charge that CNN
played decade old video claiming it was Palestinians celebrating the
Sep. 11 attacks, a person named Craig Gingold did the logical thing,
and wrote CNN. He was immediately answered by the person in charge of
newsgathering for CNN, Eason Jordan. Gingold asks that his email and
Jordan's response be circulated to all lists where the charge against
CNN was aired]

[I do not know Craig Gingold, or if I do I don't recall who he is.
But I have known Eason Jordan, the executive who answered his email,
for more than a decade, at least casually, as well as observed his
work, or the results of it, at fairly close range.

[I'm sure if we sat down to have a philosophical or political
discussion Jordan and I might disagree on countless topics. But on
the level of the formal, ethical norms and standards of mainstream
journalism, nothing I've ever seen him do or say nor anything I have
ever heard about him would raise the slightest question in my mind
about taking his probity for granted on an issue like this.

[Jordan is a Georgia native who rose through the CNN. He came into
CNN in his early 20s and was for five or six years the overnight
person on CNN's international desk. At the end of the 1980's, as CNN
grew and its international reporting expanded, he was put in charge
of the growing international desk, and is especially associated with
initiatives like making sure CNN kept a reporting presence in Iraq
throughout the Gulf War and resisting significant pressure from the
U.S. and its allies in that war to stop reporting Iraq's side of that
story.

[There would be, undoubtedly, countless things one might criticize
from a left-wing point of view about this reporting, but even so, it
must be admitted that CNN covered Iraq's side in that war to an
extent that was unprecedented in the history of mainstream American
journalism. Similarly, he was closely associated with things like
CNN's establishing a bureau in Havana, and was the first journalist
from a major Western news organization to report on North Korea,
using a small DV cam to record pictures and reporting about the
famine that country was facing 3 or 4 years back. He has stanchly
defended CNN's hiring of Palestinian journalists and the airing of
their work against a barrage of criticism from the Israeli press and
government. Under Jordan, CNN's international desk became much more
of a truly international desk, with staff members from all over the
world, including many from the third world. A number of people that
came in essentially as person-on-the-lowest-rung on the international
desk (most famously Christian Amanpour but not just her) have gone on
to do some of the better on-screen CNN international reporting of
recent years, despite funny accents, bad delivery and faces made
for radio.

[Unfortunately, U.S. viewers get very little exposure to this
reporting, as the CNN domestic network (the one everyone thinks of as
the CNN although the truth is CNN International has many, many more
subscribers) no longer carries much of this material, unlike several
years ago, before Time-Warner acquired Turner broadcasting.

[An interesting question for CNN to ponder might be why what is
presented as an unsubstantiated rumor was given such credence. I say
unsubstantiated rumor because the person who made the charge didn't
even CLAIM to have the proof, and there was a strong suggestion in
how he wrote about it that he'd never even seen the alleged proof.
The person who was said to have the proof was an anonymous teacher.
And on the *substance* of the events, there is no dispute that there
were initially some expressions of celebration among Palestinians
when the first reports on the attacks came through.

[I do not believe such a claim would have been as easily accepted
say, eight or ten years ago.]

CAUSAL NEXUS? TOWARD A REAL HISTORY OF ANTI-FASCISM AND ANTI-BOLSHEVISM(*)
The question of whether there was a causal nexus between Bolshevism in the
Soviet Union and National Socialism in Germany is far older than the
Historikerstreit. Ernst Nolte's controversial thesis implied that the
formation of the Nazis as a party (NSDAP) and a movement, and their
subsequent rise to power were hardly conceivable without the German
bourgeoisie's basic fear of Bolshevism; the Nazis' exterminatory
anti-Semitism was only a sort of response to, and the interpretive reversal
of, the looming expectation of a Sovietized Germany. Thus, Bolshevik class
genocide provided the historical model for Nazi race genocide, the
annihilation of European Jews.

Nolte's thesis was only a mirror-image of the postwar mythology of communist
anti-fascism, according to which Stalinist collectivization and the Great
Terror of the 1930s were merely prophylactic precautionary measures or
simple reactions to the deadly threat of a rising National Socialism and
its plans in the East. Thus, the fact that the Soviet leadership put the
entire country on a war footing and pursued industrialization and
re-armament irrespective of human casualties appeared extremely prescient.
Even in the West, many people were ready to see things that way. In
particular, this attitude corresponded to the feelings of many Soviet
citizens in light of the historical 1945 victory. The fascists and the
German invasion were blamed for all their sufferings and depravations, even
for the millions meaninglessly repressed, who disappeared, or died in the
prime of life. Revolution, civil war, collectivization, cleansing, and world
war, melted into a single epoch of blood and iron.

This does not alter the fact that such a view has nothing to do with 1930's
realities. The rise of National Socialism was in no way seen negatively by
Moscow, but rather as part of German revanchism against the Versailles
Powers -- a revanchism that had become virulent during the world economic
crisis, and on which certain hopes could be pinned. The secret relation
between the Reichswehr and the Red Army was tense, but useful. In the course
of the five-year plan, technical and economic collaboration between both
countries intensified. In February 1931, a grand delegation of German
business magnates from Krupp to Borsig, to Klockner and Siemens -- went to
the USSR. The company heads returned impressed, and pressed the German
government to secure the promised Russian orders with state guaranteed
credits and securities. In 1932, almost half of Russian imports, above all
technological commodities, came from Germany, exceeding imports from the US,
whose companies, in the meantime, had become more committed to Russia.

Moscow also attempted to court allies within the German-national and
national-revolutionary intelligence communities. Thus, in January 1932,
prominent figures such as Otto Hoetzsch, Klaus Mehnert, Ernst Junger, Carl
Schmitt, Adolf Grabowsky, Friedrich Lenz, and Ernst Niekisch could be
recruited for an Association for the Study of the Planned Economy in the
USSR (Arbplan), founded by party members Georg Lukacs, Arvid von Hamack,
Karl A. Wittfogel and Paul Massing. In August 1932, an Arbplan delegation
traveled to Soviet Russia. In a 1941 party report, Lukacs characterized the
twenty-five participants as people from the Right, with sometimes fascist
ideas, who were, however, for various reasons, supporters of a pro-Soviet
orientation of German politics. Even if this undertaking remained a mere
episode, it sheds light on Soviet foreign policy toward Germany before 1933.

In accordance with the resolutions of the VI. Comintern Congress (1928), the
politics of the German Communist Party (KPD) were aimed primarily against
so-called social fascism, i.e., Social Democracy, as were those of the
most significant communist

   Heh, I've seen that one before, btw, an Adam Levenstein, a
Trostskyist, sent it to me a while ago.
   If, you are gonna look for more of me, here are some other
Pugliese's that are not me either!
Michael Pugliese that played piano and other instruments on recordings
of the late avante-garde modern classical composer, John Cage.
Look for, Perkin' at Merkins.
   At CSU, Hayward there is a Professor Pugliese, not me either.
And, I'm not the son of
Stanislao Pugliese at Hofstra University thaat wrote a good book
on an Italian anti-fascist, Carlo Roselli.
   As for Floyd, I know these racist websites a helluva lot better
than you. Give it up.
I've spent probably hundreds of hours in the last two yrs. looking
at all the one that are archived for example on The Hate Directory
webpg. Though once you've seen one website raving about the ZOG
and the Illuminati you can feel like you've seen them all.
   And, as for racism and black pride, white pride and all that...Joshua
is right, if you look at the class structure
(to revert back to collegiate neo-marxism, think, bourgeoisie,
petty-bourgeoisie and proletariat, guess what class people of
color and 95% of white people are?
You win the Buick if you say Working Class.) But, America's original
Sin is racism against Blacks and Indians/Native Americans and
that has a complex relationship with the dynamics of a capitalist
social formation. In Althusserian terms, it is overdetermined.
Need me to explicate all this? I'd be happy to but, in the meantime
read a simple comic book like Marx for Beginners since you don't
strike me as one that would sit down with the three volumes of
capital and the Grundrisee trying to untangle all the complex
verbiage about surplus value, the organic composition of capital,
the tendency for the rate of profit to fall given that rising
organic composition of capital (briefly, the rising proportion
of technological investments vis a vis the the wages paid to
labor).
  Bla, bla bla, as they say.

Attack on democracy, Carter. Attack on freedom, Bush. To this stupidity
I scream, Hell no! Not just NO but hell no! It was an attack on the Jew
capital of the world, an attack on Tel Aviv West.

They did not attack Harlem, nor Little Havana, nor White racists in Idaho.
They went after those who have, for fifty years, slaughtered Palestinian
children. You can not murder people's children with impunity. You can not
perpetrate a continuous Holocaust without recriminations.

If we, or the Israelis, had done this to others it would have been a
surgical strike followed by a well-thought-out letter of limited regret.
Our generals would have laughed and bragged about the timing, accuracy and
bravery of the troops. And the Jew fascists of New York would, again, have
danced a frenzied hora.

Yes, America, cry with me for the innocent people killed in this horrid
affair. But where were your tears when Manhattan Jews ran Palestinian boys
into the corners of the walls of Jerusalem, and riddled their young bodies
with American bullets? Where were your tears while Israelis blew the heads
off the bodies of babies and committed hundreds of thousands of other
unspeakable atrocities against the helpless and innocent, the powerless, old
men and women?

I can tell you where the Jews of New York were because I've written it, many
times. When New York Jews went to Israel and killed innocent babies, they
returned to a hero's welcome.

Please America, cut-off the goddamn Jew Television. Say no to the insane,
pro-Israel, butt-wipe politicians, and listen to that small voice, somewhere
in your inner-being, that has told you over and over again that what we have
done regarding the bastard state of Israel and Jew war criminals is, and has
always been, wrong and evil.

Who did this horrible thing? I don't know and the question of who did it
must be secondary to the cardinal question of Who is responsible? And this
question I can, effortlessly, answer.

First I accuse Senator Richard Shelby because I stood in his face and told
him that his support of Israel was creating an extremely dangerous situation
for my family and friends. Although surrounded by police, and jeered by
other politicians, I told him, ten years ago, that his and this nation's
policies endangered us all.

Listen America, your poltroonish politicians are, at this moment, rattling
their swords, blaspheming God, and quoting inappropriate scriptures. And all
the while, looking for those responsible. Look in a mirror, you mamzers,
look at yourselves! You killed these people just as surely as if you had
flown the planes!

You imbeciles, talking about exterminating those who are to blame and
those who support terrorist. Supporters of terror? You brain-dead
bastards, you have supported terrorists every time you voted to send Israel
our money, our tanks, our helicopter gunships, rockets etc. etc.

Speaking now, is that beastly little war stud, Charlie Schumer. Charlie is
talking about freedom just like a whore talks about love. What a cruel joke!

And now comes Hillary Clinton, wrapped in a Star of David flag and talking
mean. Do you really ascribe any credence to this amateurish, Yiddish
theater?

Oh, but standing a head taller, above all this septic, is that fat-jawed,
deluded piece of human shit, the Rebe Jerry Falwell. Did you hear what this
Judeo-Christian, Christian-Zionist, idiot, son-of-a-bitch said? Did You hear
him, Jesus? He said, We should do what Ronald Reagan did to Muammar
Kaddafi, kill their families. Were it not for Jerry Falwell and his asinine
followers there would never have been a Twin Towers suicide attack.

You don't have a congressman or woman or prominent religious leader, who can
say no, to the Jew. If one refuses, in even a slight way, to support Jew
terrorists, they all know that their careers would abruptly end. These
cowards, from the President on down, will continue to deny their own
culpability and will, forever, sacrifice our people on a stupid, bloody,
Zionist altar.

Listen to them! They are talking Jewish, thinking Jewish and will soon
lash-out in a very unmanly Jewish way. They are talking revenge, blood
revenge. Lets go kill somebody, anybody, and their families!

We will find these people and they will suffer, said George. We gonna
hunt-down and punish those responsible.

Well, George, why don't we start with those Jew writers who, just last week,
advocated exterminating or forcibly expelling all Palestinians from their
homeland. Take a hard look at what you, your vice president, and Powell,
Rice, Rumsfeld, etc. said when asked about the Israelis assassinating PLO
leaders. You people approved of these horrors and some even said that they
would do the same things

Like these racists? http://www.eaif.org/
 Michael Pugliese

 How is this racist?  How is it different from the NAACP, the ADL or
 any other organization established for the promotion of an ethnic
 group?

It's different because they are the MAJORITY and enjoy the benefits thereof.
But more importantly, it's different because THEY ARE THE ELITE POWER
STRUCTURE
and always have been!!! Get it? This is what makes these groups ridiculous,
unless they think in terms of class. Which they are too stupid and
brainwashed
to do.

So to simplify it for you Amelia... when minorities struggle for more power
it
serves as an equalizer. When White Guys struggle for more power, it's a
monopoly.

That's the difference Amelia.

J2

 See their statement of purpose below.  Is is solely because
 they are 'white' for what other difference is there?  Are you
 stating that it is racist for whites to do the identical actions of
 other races or ethnic groups and that it is only racist for whites
 to do so?

Re: [CTRL] European American Issues Forum

2001-09-10 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

http://www.osu.edu/students/afrikan/DIssue/i092298.htm
...But the idea was the inspiration of Stan Hess, a
  member of the European American Issues Forum.
  Hess was recently arrested in a flag-burning protest
  at an Alabama anti-immigration rally with a former
  grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. He was also
  thrown out of a race-relations forum in San Jose in
  February after he began shouting at members of
  President Clinton's commission on race, which had
  convened the session...
...In January, Hess and two other men were arrested at
  the anti-immigration rally in Cullman, Ala.,
  according to Cullman police. They were charged
  with violating the city's burning ordinance when they
  dipped the flags of Mexico, the United Nations and
  the former Soviet Union in kerosene and set them
  ablaze.

  Arrested with Hess was William Burchfield, a
  former grand dragon, or state leader, of the Alabama
  Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, according to the
  Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights
  organization that monitors the Klan and other
  extremist groups.

  Mark Potok, a spokesman for the center, said the
  rally was attended by several Klansman, neo-Nazis
  and adherents of the Christian Identity movement.
  Identity believers embrace a racist and anti-Semitic
  theology, Potok said, that claims that whites are the
  true chosen people and that blacks are subhuman
  ``mud people.''

  Hess said he met Burchfield at the rally and didn't
  become aware of his Klan ties until later. He
  referred further questions about the rally to his friend
  Jim Floyd, a Cullman resident who organized the
  event with Hess and was also arrested for burning
  the flags.

  Klansmen at Alabama rally

  Floyd acknowledged that there were Klansmen in the
  crowd of about 60 at the Alabama rally, which drew
  mainstream immigration foes as well. He said the
  event was open to the public and he had no control
  over who decided to attend.

  Floyd said Burchfield, who recently died of a heart
  attack, was his close friend. But he said Burchfield
  had turned in his Klan robes four or five years ago,
  after Floyd persuaded him to quit the organization.

  In any event, Floyd said, Burchfield played no role
  in organizing the rally.

  Potok, the center's spokesman, contradicted Floyd's
  account, saying Burchfield had been seen preaching
  Christian Identity theology at a Klan rally as recently
  as a year ago.

Re: [CTRL] Hitchens On Condit

2001-09-09 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

   Yup, those Leftists at Judicial Watch!
http://www.judicialwatch.org/
   BTW, Hitchens has distanced himself from the socialist left he was active
in, in the 60's and 70's, specifically the neo-Trotskyists in the
International Socialists.
http://nuance.dhs.org/lbo-talk/0103/0137.html
FEED: Where do you stand politically?

HITCHENS: I don't have any identifiable political
allegiance at the moment, though I'm barely ready even to
say that. My political training and allegiance was with the
left, and I'm sure it shows. That's how I learned to argue
and what to look for. But that of course came from the
particular left tradition that was so involved in a lot of
argument within the left, when there was such a thing as an
intra-left argument, which there hardly is anymore.

FEED: I remember Brian Lamb on C-Span used to ask
you, Are you still a socialist?

HITCHENS: I was very glad he didn't do that the other
day when I went on with him. He used to begin every time
we came on. I knew he hoped that one day I'd say, Okay,
okay, you win. And I knew that even if that day ever came
I wouldn't be glad that it had. It's a question I'm quite
happy to postpone at the moment. It doesn't condition
anything I do anymore. I would certainly say that.

Racism defies Serbian democracy
Violence grows despite change in leadership
Joshua Kucera, Chronicle Foreign Service
Wednesday, April 18, 2001
©2001 San Francisco Chronicle
   
Belgrade, Yugoslavia -- Despite its reputation as a hotbed of
  nationalism,
Serbia has not been known for racism and intolerance of the sort
that
  has
plagued neighbors like Croatia, Hungary and Germany.
   
But recent incidents of skinhead-style violence and intimidation
 suggest
that an organized, extreme right-wing movement may be emerging.
   
Organizations that document racist incidents have noticed a rise in
 the
   past
few months in attacks against Roma, also known as Gypsies, and
ethnic
Albanians.
   
And within the space of a few days, stickers with swastikas were
 placed
  at
Belgrade's Jewish cemetery, a synagogue and an art gallery housing a
  photo
exhibition about Roma. In northern Serbia, vandals broke a plaque
commemorating the site of the former synagogue in Zrenjanin and
 painted
  a
swastika on a similar plaque in Kikinda.
   
In the last two to three months, there has been some sort of
synchronization of these actions and that's what's really
dangerous,
  said
Igor Olujic, a lawyer at the Humanitarian Law Center in Belgrade,
who
  has
been documenting the incidents.
   
It's not open violence, but I'm afraid it could be the beginning of
a
   neo-
Nazi movement, he added.
   
The incidents have occurred against the disturbing backdrop of the
 rise
  of
Obraz (Dignity), a group of hard-core nationalists that says it has
 more
than 20,000 members.
   
Obraz says it has no connection with the attacks or the stickers,
but
  its
rhetoric -- including a Web page called Letter to Our Enemies that
 rails
against Jews, gays, Croats, Albanians and several other groups -- is
  seen
   as
the intellectual support for racist violence.
   
It's a racist group, no doubt about it, said Olujic, adding that
 Obraz
   may
be vulnerable to prosecution under Serbia's law against inciting
 racial
hatred.
   
There always was a latent anti-Semitism, but never as blatant as
 this,

COVER STORY

WELCOME TO THE FREE WORLD




Frank Morales reveals how non-lethal weapons are being used with sometimes
deadly effect against peaceful campaigners.

Summary: The U.S. military is expanding its missions under globalization. It
recognizes that in operations other than war... recent history shows that
the most likely threats are from civil disturbances. The Pentagon is
preparing to counter popular protest utilizing the latest in non-lethal
weapons technology.

The new weapons are intended primarily to suppress civil unrest - and have
been used extensively at recent global trade and other largely peaceful
protests in Seattle, Washington DC, Philadelphia, LA, Prague and Davos.

The label non-lethal weapon, utilized strictly for public relations
purposes, masks an increase in the overall scope of violence directed
against civilians in both warfare and law enforcement scenarios.

Under the guise of undeclared operations other than war - and other
Pentagonisms - so-called non-lethal weapons allow for the increased
repression and torture of non-combatant populations, particularly those
opposed to this agenda. The armory ranges from tasers to stun guns, pepper
spray to CS gas, hallucinogens to sedatives, rayguns to plastic bullets.

As this new phase in the global class war emerges and grows, along with the
internationalization of U.S. initiated and exported methodologies of civil
disturbance suppression, the utilization of non-lethal weapons will
increase, both here and around the world.

  Latest in so called non-lethal technology designed to counter popular

  Pentagon Fielding Electromagnetic Crowd Dispersal Weapon
  By Frank Morales
 
  The Marine Corps is on the verge of unveiling perhaps the biggest
  breakthrough in weapons technology since the atomic bomb: a nonlethal
weapon
  that fires directed energy at human targets.
  I have nothing to hide. This is a good news story. Our American public
  needs
  to understand that we have done our homework. - Col. George Fenton,
  Director, Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, Department of Defense
 
  Marine Corps Times, March 5, 2001 (1)
 
  In a neatly calculated unveiling of weapons designed for social
control,
  for use against civilians and the suppression of dissent, the Pentagon
has
  gone transparent with the latest in electronic weapons technology
which
  targets people. At a selective press briefing for congressional and
military
  leaders this past March 1st, Pentagon officials stated they were
developing
  a new non-lethal weapon which uses electromagnetic energy to cause a bur
ning
  sensation on the skin. (Reuters, 3/1/01) The biggest breakthrough in
  weapons technology since the atomic bomb is none other than the
so-called
  Vehicle-Mounted Active Denial System or VMADS. According to the March
5th
  issue of the Marine Corps Times, (cited above) in an article entitled,
The
  People Zapper: This new secret weapon doesn't kill, but it sure does
burn,
  the VMADS system is the first non-lethal, directed energy weapon
designed
  specifically for use against humans. The weapon focuses energy into a
beam
  of micromillimeter waves designed to stop an individual in his tracks.
  Powered by electricity, it would ultimately be powered by the modified
  Humvee on which it would be mounted.
  According to the Marine Corps Times report, the projected energy which
  falls
  near microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum, causes the moisture in
a
  person's skin to heat up rapidly, creating a burning sensation, similar
to a
  hot light bulb pressed against

ISRAEL HAS JUST WARNED THE PA THAT IF THE TERRORISM DOES NOT STOP IN A FEW
DAYS, THEY WILL BEGIN A MASSIVE OFFENSIVE!!!


I believe that if and when it begins, [probably before the end of March] the
following is a likely scenario:


Israel will attack the well circumscribed Palestinian settlements and use
weapons that kill instantly, such as fuel-air bombs.
or beam weapons that have minimal side scatter, to avoid killing Jews
nearby. A suitcase nuke will explode in old Jerusalem, destroying the Al
Aqsa Mosque.


This will bring on retaliatory moves by Iraq and the other Moslem States,
including Iran. Israel will resort to nuclear weapons, especially neutron
bombs. Gog and Magog suffer heavy casualties.


Russia and China will join the attacks on Israel, and while the US is
pondering what to do, the coastal areas of North America will be bombed,
probably mainly with neutron bombs. Washington and New York will be hit with
either suitcase nukes or something worse. Our President and much of his
cabinet will be killed. The Pentagon, a Satanic symbol, will make an ideal
target. Congress will hide in the underground bunkers such as Greenbriar.


War will break out in Europe as Russia invades. Germany will try to take
over again. The Nazis will dominate German policies again.


More earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will be precipitated by the nuclear
bombs and continued use of HAARP.


Swarms of refugees will try to leave New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco
and they will die on the freeways by nerve gas and neutron bombs by the
thousands and millions... Las Vegas will be destroyed.


Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico, and China will invade the US through
Canada and Mexico, and from the Bahamas through the Gulf and Florida.
Foreign troops already within the country will begin to blow up the
infrastructure, and to poison the water reservoirs with botulism toxin.


US nuclear subs will devastate Eastern China,and... etc.


Since the exit routes will be jammed, it may be prudent to make plans to
leave the large coastal cities as or before it begins

Dear Steven:

  Thank you for your response and comments.  It is literally impossible for
me to personally verify all 300+ or 700+ s.  And even when some one does
in fact find one they derrogatorily report that there is NO activity there
and no sign of civilian prisoners there.

So even with proof people still refuse to believe.  They keep
forgetting that these s are being setup, planned, prepared, lying in
wait, or being merely designated for later use.  Guess we will have to just
wait until those on the GREEN list are picked up and shoved into them.  Then
what good does it do to issue any warning ahead of time?

   Probably these very same people will still deny their existence by saying
Well, you can't prove these are s just because the feds put me into one
under legal court procedings, but for a different reason than what you say
they are for.

  If people can't heed an honest warning then too bad.  There are none so
blind as those who will not see.  None so ignorant as those who will not
understand.  None so asleep as those who will not wake up.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is starting now.  [EMAIL PROTECTED] claims he
has verified that one of the FEMA Relocation Centers which I refer to as
Clinton's Civilian Concentration Camps - will be used to incarcerate
innocent
civilians - although this is probably just a trial run.

There are claimed to be at least 300+ camps and possibly even up to 700+
camps nationwide.  The feds just want to get us used to the idea of
civilians
being placed in these camps, then after the first shock, to be readily
forgotten so we can go back to our mindless daily existences.  Then as we
are
individually carted off into these 's it will just be another fact of
life that we were so meticulously prepared for.

OBTW, this is for Wolfs1776 - as far as I know, there is ONLY ONE

should be NO other people who are parading around as USCMike1.  I don't know

[CTRL] Conspiracist Jim Marrs Revealed

Subject: Conspiracist Jim Marrs Revealed


...WBAI producer Bill Weinberg offers this excellent analysis of
right-wing conspiracist, Jim Marrs, whose book was recently offered
by Marjorie Moore as a premium in WBAI's last fund drive. The use of
the Marrs material to fund the station is seen by many as strong
evidence of the ideological shifts taken place at WBAI, despite
protests from management that changes in program content are
illusory. Weinberg also discusses Leid's history with the City Sun,
and DeRienzo's recent attacks on the IMC and George Soros.

RULE BY IDIOCY: WBAI FALLS FOR RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY THEORY


by Bill Weinberg


Rule by Secrecy: The Hidden History That Connects the Trilateral
Commission, the Freemasons, and the Great Pyramids. The title itself
reads like a self-parody. The fact that it is not is a sad comment on
our times. The fact that HarperCollins chose to publish this
amateurish potboiler is even sadder. But saddest of all is that it
was offered as a premium in the last fund-raising marathon by New
York City's progressive WBAI Radio.


WBAI, whose leadership was purged in a notorious Christmas Coup
last year, once offered premiums by the likes of Noam Chomsky. But it
was the voice of Jim Marrs that issued from the station's transmitter
in relentless interviews during the May marathon. Marrs was chosen as
the latest political guru by morning show host Marjorie Moore and
approved by WBAI's Interim General Manager Utrice Leid. Both
repeatedly praised his research over the air. That WBAI is now
promoting Marrs, a peddler of the most vulgar anti-Semitic conspiracy
theory, loans credence to those who argue that the station has
assumed a rightward trajectory since the coup.


In Rule by Secrecy, Marrs of course goes out of his way to disavow
anti-Semitism-but in terms that are clearly anti-Semitic! While it
may be true that secret organizations in the past were built along
both racial and religious grounds and [a]lthough many international
financiers are of Jewish descent, it is unfair to accuse the Hebrew
race of an international conspiracy. Note the slippery use of
Hebrew race in place of the more common and accurate term Jews.
He complains that the broad brush of anti-Semitism frequently has
been used to besmirch anyone offering a conspiratorial view of
history.


After this requisite disavowal, Marrs goes on to portray the
gigantic and secretive Rothschilds banking empire as the covert
and indirect power behind nearly every government on Earth
(ultimately tracing their grand design for world domination to the
Illuminati and Masonic conspiracies dating to ancient Egypt). His
sources are the usual ones, all too familiar to followers of the
far right and fascism.


Topping the list, of course, is the Protocols of the Learned Elders
of Zion, the purported Jewish conspiracy masterplan which served as
propaganda for the Czarist pogroms and then the Nazi Holocaust. While
Marrs does concede that the Protocols are a hoax, he nonetheless
vests much legitimacy in them: It is the possibility of 'historical
truth' which has kept the Protocols in circulation since its
inception. Today, modern conspiracy writers see it as a real program
predating Nazism or Communism... The Protocols may indeed reflect a
deeper conspiracy beyond its intended use to encourage anti-Semitism,
one hidden within the secret upper ranks of the Iluminati and
Freemasonry.


The kneejerk anti-Communism which always characterizes this genre is
there as well. Marrs writes that Marx's program points in The
Communist Manifesto bear a striking resemblance to the Protocols of
the Learned Elders of Zion, suggesting some common origin. Much, of
course, is made of Marx's Jewish ethnicity. Concludes Marrs: The
goals of the Russian communists and Karl Marx were largely the same
goals of the Illuminati and continental Freemasonry.


Again and again, Marrs attempts to legitimize the anti-Semitism of
Henry Ford, the Krupps and even Hitler, portraying them as mere
over-reaction to the arrogant power of international Jewish
bankers. Marrs argues that the Jews themselves were behind Hitler,
another line familiar to those who follow this unsavory milieu. All
of the American, British and Dutch industrialists who aided Hitler's
rise to power are portrayed (on no evidence) as stand-ins for the
great Rothschild empire. Marrs goes one better by claiming that
Hitler was a Rothschild-that his grandmother was not impregnated by
her husband Johann Georg Hiedler, but by one Baron Rothschild, in
whose Vienna home she was working as a servant. Marrs cites a
(conveniently) suppressed OSS report for this allegation, but
provides no details on its name or where it is to be found.


The actual report, by psychologist Walter C. Langer, was published in
1972 as The Mind of Adolf Hitler, but Marrs doesn't tell us that,

Subject: GERBILMANIA: everything you wanted to know but were afraid...


This article is from a syndicated column called, The Straight Dope, and was
written by Cecil Adams. It was published in the Chicago Reader, sometime in
1986.

[NOTE: Since this column was published, Uncle Cecil has stated in his book
_More of the Straight Dope_ that under closer examination, the confirmed
report of gerbillectomy he mentions here came to nothing, and he's now
skeptical that any real evidence of gerbilling exists. More specific and
up-to-date cites are on their way. Thanks to Ian York for pointing this
out. --ehk, 96/05/30]

THE STRAIGHT DOPE

 While discussing a gay acquaintance recently, my friend Mary, a nurse,
 lauded him by adding, and he's no damn gerbil stuffer, either. When I
 protested that she should not perpetuate cruel stereotypes of our
 homosexual brethren, she informed me that she personally had witnessed a
 fellow admitted by her hospital to remove a deceased gerbil lodged in his
 rectum. That gentleman is now doomed to be tied to a colostomy bag
 through eternity. What I'd like to know is, what are the mechanics and
 philosophy of gerbil stuffing? How are the gerbils inserted and
 retrieved? Don't they bite and scratch? Why not hamsters or snakes? Is
 this a common practice? My curious friends and I await your reply with
 bated breath. -- Shannon O'Hara, W. Thomas


Let's face it, toots, an awful lot of stuff has been found where that gerbil
was found. The medical journals list an astonishing array: a bottle of Mrs.
Butterworth's syrup, an ax handle, a nine-inch zucchini, countless didoes
and vibrators including one 14-inch model complete with two D-cell
batteries, a plastic spatula, a 9 1/2-inch water bottle, a deodorant bottle,
a Coke bottle, a large bottle cap, numerous other bottles, a 3 1/2-inch
Japanese glass float ball, an 11-inch carrot, an antenna rod, a 150-watt
light bulb, a 100-watt frosted bulb, a cucumber, a screwdriver, four rubber
balls, 72 1/2 jeweler's saws (all from one patient, but not all at the same
time, although 29 were discovered on one occasion), a paperweight, an apple,
an onion, a plastic toothbrush package, two bananas, a frozen pig's tail (it
got stuck when it thawed), a ten-inch length of broomstick, an 18-inch
umbrella handle and central rod, a plantain encased in a condom, two
Vaseline jars, a whiskey bottle with a cord attached, a teacup, an oil can,
a six-by-five-inch tool box weighing 22 ounces, a six-inch stone weighing
two pounds (in the latter two cases the patients died due to intestinal
obstruction), a baby powder can, a test tube, a ball-point pen, a peanut
butter jar, candles, baseballs, a sand-filled bicycle inner tube, sewing
needles, a flashlight, a half-filled tobacco pouch, a turnip, a pair of
eyeglasses, a hard-boiled egg, a carborundum grindstone (with handle), a
suitcase key, a syringe, a file tumblers and glasses, a polyethylene waste
trap from the U-bench of a sink, and so on. In 1955 one man who was feeling
depressed reportedly inserted a six-inch paper tube into his rectum,
dropped in a lighted firecracker, and blew a hole in his anterior rectal
wall. This changed his mood multo rapido.

As for live or recently deceased fauna, rumors of gerbil (and mouse or
hamster) stuffing have been circulating since about 1982, and I know of at
least one case, in 1984, when a Denver weekly printed a confirmed report of
gerbilectomy in a local emergency room. Unfortunately, such cases have been
slow in making their way into the formal literature of medicine. I have
checked with numerous sources, including gays, doctors, and your nurse
friend, and though everybody has heard about gerbil stuffing, there is no
consensus on how it is accomplished or how often it occurs. The principle is
simple: a tube is inserted in the rectum, and a recently manicured gerbil is
induced to run up the tube and burrow in. There's some difference of opinion
about what happens next. Some say the gerbil somehow winds up in a bag or
sack (perhaps a condom?); others say no sack is used - the gerbil simply
squirms around, eventually dies of suffocation, and is later eliminated
during defecation. The kick supposedly is the sensation of fur. I am
skeptical about this, but let's face it, I am skeptical about this whole
damn business. I should note that there are nerve endings only in the lower
extremities of the rectum, and thus there is nothing to be gained by
shoveling extended families of gerbils into your lower quadrant. A word to
the wise.

Complications often occur. Often the rectum

Eating Fetuses: The lurid Christian fantasy of godless Chinese eating
unborn children.

by Miss Poppy Dixon, 10.2000

http://www.jesus21.com/poppydixon/sex/chinese_eating_fetuses.html

Blood Libel: Eating Childen
Blood libel [1] is the practice of accusing one's enemy of eating children.
Originally traced to pagans slandering early Christians it quickly adopted
the form it would take for the next two thousand years - that of Jews
murdering and eating Christian children, primarily for Passover. The
practice of blood libel has been revived in the US by Christian
conservatives, and is now aimed at their latest enemy, and most promising
market: the Chinese.

Beijing, 1995: The Godless Triad
The United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in
1995, was hosted live on the Internet - one of the first of such events on
the Web, and thousands of women the world over logged on. Conservative
Christians could not fathom why the rest of the world was not outraged by
the convergence of their three arch enemies: women, the communist Chinese,
and the Clintons. James Dobson, of the ultra-conservative Focus on the
Family book and radio empire, covered the event in his August 1995
newsletter titled, Position on United Nations Conference on Women. Uncertain
that he could move apathetic Americans with bland facts, Dobson quoted a
World Magazine article about the Chinese dining on aborted fetuses as
evidence of this godless triad.

If [capital punishment] isn't enough to turn one's stomach, consider this:
According to World... human fetuses have begun to appear on menus of Chinese
restaurants as a delicacy and health tonic.

Radio Free Dixie: Robert F. Williams and the Roots of Black Power
Timothy B. Tyson
Format: Paperback, 416pp.
ISBN: 0807849235
Publisher: University of North Carolina Press
Pub. Date: February  2001
From the Publisher
Radio Free Dixie is the story of Robert F. Williams - one of the most
influential black activists of the generation that toppled Jim Crow, created
a new black sense of self, and forever altered the arc of American history.
In the late 1950s, as president of the Monroe, North Carolina, branch of the
NAACP, Williams and his followers used machine guns, dynamite, and Molotov
cocktails to confront Klan terrorists. Advocating armed self-reliance by
black Southerners, Williams challenged not only white supremacists but also
Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights establishment. Forced to flee
during the 1960s to Cuba - where he broadcast Radio Free Dixie, a program
of black politics and music that could be heard as far away as Los Angeles
and New York City - and then China, Williams remained a controversial figure
for the rest of his life. Radio Free Dixie reveals that both the civil
rights movement and the Black Power movement, often portrayed in clashing
terms, grew out of the same soil, confronted the same predicaments, and
reflected the same quest for African American freedom.

From Julian Bond
A compelling story that...needs to be ready by all who care about race,
courage, and humanity. Robert Williams was an inspiration to many an a
threat to others; Tyson give him his proper due.

From Publisher's Weekly
To some, the civil rights radical Robert Williams's philosophy of armed
self-defense was the very antithesis of Martin Luther King's nonviolent
resistance. However, each man represented a wing of the growing civil rights
movement, and both grasped and skillfully wielded the political leverage
that the dynamics of the Cold War afforded the civil rights cause. After a
stint in the army during WWII, Williams returned to his hometown in Monroe,
N.C., where he built a uniquely militant NAACP chapter and attracted
international attention to racist hypocrisy. When eventually forced by Ku
Klux Klan vigilantes and an FBI dragnet to abandon his activities and flee
the U.S. with his family in 1961, he found safe harbor in revolutionary
Cuba, where he produced Radio Free Dixie, a program of politics and music
broadcast to America. Written with the cooperation of Williams and his
family, Tyson's firecracker text crackles with brilliant and lasting images
of black life in the Carolinas and across the South in the '40s, '50s and
'60s. Liberally peppered with quotes from Williams, many taken from his
unpublished autobiography, While God Lay Sleeping, as well as from
interviews and radio tapes, the book is imbued with the man's voice and his
indefatigable spirit. An assistant professor of Afro-American studies at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison and the co-editor of Democracy Betrayed,
Tyson successfully portrays Williams as a troubled visionary, a strong,
stubborn and imperfect man, one who greatly influenced what became the Black
Power Movement and its young leaders. Photos. (Oct.) Copyright 1999 Cahners

 The mainstream press and the gay community have both treated the
emergence of Pink Pistols, which was inspired by an article by Jonathan
Rauch in the National Journal calling for just such an organization, as a
curious new phenomenon. Who would have thought that an organization sporting
a pink triangle in its logo would take up the right-wing cause of gun
ownership?

 The Pink Pistols are less a new phenomenon than a new twist on something
very old -- persecuted minorities

Before the Storm
Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking
of the American Consensus.

Suburban Warriors:
The Origins of the New American Right
Lisa McGirr
In the early 1960s, American conservatives seemed to have fallen on hard
times. McCarthyism was on the run, and movements on the political left were
grabbing headlines. The media lampooned John Birchers's accusations that
Dwight Eisenhower was a communist puppet. Mainstream America snickered at
warnings by California Congressman James B. Utt that barefooted Africans
were training in Georgia to help the United Nations take over the country.
Yet, in Utt's home district of Orange County, thousands of middle-class
suburbanites proceeded to organize a powerful conservative movement that
would land Ronald Reagan in the White House and redefine the spectrum of
acceptable politics into the next century.

Suburban Warriors introduces us to these people: women hosting coffee
klatches for Barry Goldwater in their tract houses; members of anticommunist
reading groups organizing against sex education; pro-life Democrats
gradually drawn into conservative circles; and new arrivals finding work in
defense companies and a sense of community in Orange County's mushrooming
evangelical churches. We learn what motivated them and how they interpreted
their political activity. Lisa McGirr shows that their movement was not one
of marginal people suffering from status anxiety, but rather one formed by
successful entrepreneurial types with modern lifestyles and bright futures.
She describes how these suburban pioneers created new political and social
philosophies anchored in a fusion of Christian fundamentalism, xenophobic
nationalism, and western libertarianism.

While introducing these rank-and-file activists, McGirr chronicles Orange
County's rise from nut country to political vanguard. Through this
history, she traces the evolution of the New Right from a virulent
anticommunist, anti-establishment fringe to a broad national movement
nourished by evangelical Protestantism. Her original contribution to the
social history of politics broadens--and often upsets--our understanding of
the deep and tenacious roots of popular conservatism in America.

Lisa McGirr is Assistant Professor of History at Harvard University.


Reviews:
McGirr paints a complex picture . . . Incisive, yet fair, this represents
an important standing of how antimodernist ideologies continue to
thrive.--Publishers Weekly
The strength of her book is her explanation of the growth of the
conservative movement through the stories of women and men who moved to the
Orange County suburbs . . . Remember welfare? Whatever happened to it? Where
did affirmative action go? [McGirr explains] their demise and that of many
other ideas that seemed so permanent, so much a part of a national
consensus, in 1964.--Bill Boyarski, Los Angeles Times

A focused, stimulating account that demonstrates that many of the best
contemporary works of the Sixties are about the rise of the Right.--Library
Journal

A fascinating tale . . . Suburban Warriors goes a long way to explaining
the origins of a movement whose influence remains formidable to this
day.--Stephen Dale, Washington Post Book World


Endorsements:
A landmark study that will enlighten anyone who cares about the evolution
of American politics since World War II. With Lisa McGirr's thorough,
sophisticated, smoothly crafted exploration of Orange County conservatism,
the history of the modern Right has finally come of age.--Michael Kazin,
Georgetown University, coauthor of America Divided and The Populist
Persuasion
In her impressively researched, gracefully written book, Lisa McGirr
convincingly demonstrates that historians, who have been preoccupied with
the Left in the 1960s, need to develop a deeper comprehension of how
conservatives in places such as Orange County reconfigured American
political culture. Readers will find her attempt to understand them, rather
than dismiss or condemn them, both rewarding and challenging.--William E.
Leuchtenburg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

[CTRL] Secret Weapons Two Sisters' Terrifying True Story of Sex,, Spies and Sabotage

2001-06-23 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

Barnes  Noble.com - Secret Weapons : Two Sisters' Terrifying True Story of
Sex, Spies and Sabotage From the Critics
From Publisher's Weekly - Publishers Weekly
Now in their late 30s, the Hersha sisters claim to have experienced chilling
childhoods, recounted here by two Ohio-based investigators Schwarz (The
Hillside Strangler) and former police captain and ritual abuse expert
Griffis who say they have studied declassified CIA files and interviewed
military personnel in an effort to bolster the Hersha memories. Before the
age of seven, the sisters say, they were inducted into a covert,
government-authorized, mind-control program designed to spawn spies and
assassins. During weekends and summers, they were subjected to traumatizing
experiments. Cheryl tells of her days as a caged lab rat, released to
navigate electrified mazes. The two became psychological captives,
programmed to respond to code words. Following practice in weaponry, martial
arts and flight training, altered identities were purportedly introduced. At
15, Lynn was made part of a unit that experienced murder, and she assumed
the identity of team leader Lt. Rick Shaw. As the seductive Samantha
Gooding, Cheryl would paralyze her victims, and she later became the cocky
chopper pilot Sgt. Thomas O'Neil. Naturally, these two men, long
separated, were destined to meet: Cheryl Hersha! It's me, Lynn, your
sister. You've got to let me go. You can't shoot me. Credibility collapses,
as improbabilities are piled on inconsistencies, and the truth is buried
beneath simplistic, pulp-adventure prose. In closing, the authors claim that
Their story is true, following with an admission that they found no
government documents about the program or the sisters. An elaborate
disclaimer about the presumed thoughts and imagined words of the
participants will lead many readers to ponder just how much real events
have been fictionalized. (Mar.) Forecast: Since Walter Bowart's Operation
Mind Control (1978) and Donald Bain's The Control of Candy Jones (1976),
many books about CIA mind control have stacked up. This account of The
Manchurian Candidate meets La Femme Nikita will soon work its way toward the
bottom of the stack. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

From Internet Book Watch
In the last half of the twentieth century the American government carried
out secret, heinous experiments designed to create and perfect soldiers and
spies. Cheryl and Lynn Hersha were two sisters who, as children, were caught
up in some of these top secret programs of torture and mind control that
went under such covert titles as Monarch, Artichoke, MKULTRA, and Paperclip.
In Secret Weapons: Two Sisters' Terrifying True Story Of Sex, Spies And
Sabotage, the sisters effective collaborate with Dale Griffis and Ted
Schwarz to reveal and analyze these black box operations through
previously classified CIA files, the sister's own personal experiences, as
well as extensive and informative interviews with experts to document one of
the most chilling and incredible aspects of American history — and one that
never made it into any American history books.

A reviewer, April 5, 2001,
A Book for all Americans to Read
It would be easy to dismiss this book as craziness or fiction if it were not
for the thorough investigation into this type of activity through
declassified CIA documents, and other witnesses and survivors. These kinds
of horrible activities should not be dismissed from our minds because they
are uncomfortable. We need anger and dicomfort to create change. Remember,
there used to be a day in this country when no parent perpetrated acts of
violence on their children. This book is not enjoyable but rivetting and
necessary.

Open letter to the International Preparatory Committee of the 15th World
Festival of Youth and Students in Algeria

Dear comrades,

Please accept our fraternal greetings to you and all the participants of the
forthcoming international festival. We welcome the festival as one
expression
of the struggle against imperialism which is suffocating the peoples of the
world and even threatening the very existence of humanity. In order to
defeat
our common enemy all the anti-imperialist forces around the world must
co-operate and strive to join hands in this struggle for life and death.
This
is why we propose that we mutually exchange delegation between the World
Festival, August 8-16, and the Anti-imperialist Camp, Assisi, July 28-August
5.

However, we have some burning questions regarding the most urgent
necessities
of the global anti-imperialist struggle:

Why have you chosen Algeria as the place to meet? You must have been aware
of
the civil war raging in this tortured county since one decade during which
the regime has proved to be a model pupil of the IMF? (as your German
preparatory committee admits it openly; see
http://weltfestspiele.online.de/kabylei1.html, May 29, 2001) You refer to
the
glorious Algerian liberation struggle but these times have definitely gone.
Already in 1988 the Algerian youth has been protesting against the austerity
programme imposed on them by the regime servile to imperialism and was
crushed violently. Non of the popular demands have been met and in the early
90ies a military dictatorship has been erected in order to keep the
pro-Western regime in power against the free will of the overwhelming
majority of the population. And why you keep insisting in this emergency
situation? Today the regime is about to repress another legitimate social
rebellion blaming it to be separatist. But this is simply a pretext as the
movement in Kabylia has met strong echo in the poor arabophone youth and has
explicitly stated to defend the national unity of Algeria as a gain of the
liberation struggle. Do you really think that an anti-imperialist gathering
can take the support of such a regime and thus support it politically?

And what about the solidarity with the Palestinian people? Their new
Intifada
is a cry for international solidarity. With no word you mention the
necessity
to stop the Zionist massacre and that all democratic and peace-loving forces
of the world urgently have to rally behind this sorely afflicted people to
defend their most elementary human right against the Israeli and Western
humanitarian crusaders: the right of self-determination.

We also have to insist on the solidarity with the Colombian people. One of
the most powerful popular movements of the world is defending itself in arms
against a cruel war unleashed by the narco-oligarchy backed by US
imperialism. Millions have lost their land and have been displaced, tens of
thousands of militant peasants and workers have been killed by the death
squads. With the Plan Colombia imperialism is stepping up its aggression.
Therefore we have to take immediate action.

We hope that you will consider our suggestions and will choose a different
place for the festival. We would be happy if we could reach commitments for
common action not only referring to the solidarity with the most outstanding
anti-imperialist struggles but also for a more general and systematic
co-operation which should be the concrete outcome of our  international
gatherings.

With the most fraternal anti-imperialist greetings
The political committee of the anti-imperialist camp

I am interested to see this analysis from such a reliable source. I have
always had difficulty believing the wild stories about hundreds of thousands
of Russian and other foreign troops being concealed within our borders. Why
would they need to be here, aside from the joint training exercises? Our
shores are relatively undefended, and our borders are open and sieve-like.
The enemy can come across almost anywhere when the time comes.

One begins to learn who the crazies and the overzealous so-called patriots
are out there who continually sound the drumbeat of disinformation. How many

 Fact and Fiction

 Sifting reality from alarmist rumors

 [...]

 Fraud and Fancy

 Another newsletter, Monetary and Economic Review, reported in March 1993
 that reports are coming in of railroad cars that are specially equipped
 with shackles built into the walls for prisoner transport. One railroad
car
 in the Cut Bank, Montana area was loaded with handcuffs, shackles and
 guillotines. Sound bizarre? Well, yes, now that you mention it,
especially
 since no evidence is provided. Presumably these handcuffs, shackles, and
 guillotines are to be used by FINCEN, which is the UN's next level of law
 enforcement. FINCEN is made up of foreign military and secret police that
 number about 300,000 in the U.S. at present. The newsletter cited as its
 source for that information one Mark from Michigan, a lecturer whose
video
 presentations have stirred anxiety among patriots nationwide about massive
 invading forces already within our borders.

 The newsletter continued: These FINCEN troops are ferried around by black
 helicopters that people have reported seeing all over the country, and
were
 shown on TV in Waco. In November 1990, President Bush signed an executive
 order that transferred one third of our strategic reserve aircraft over to
 FINCEN at a cost of $12.8 billion to the U.S. taxpayer. They were painted
 black and have no markings, and are now used by FINCEN. (For more
 information on FINCEN, see the Black Helicopters sidebar on page 29.)
 Like many other publications circulating this story, Monetary and Economic
 Review included a map marked with circles and Xs purporting to show the
 locations of U.N. battle groups on U.S. soil.

 Quoting Mark from Michigan, the newsletter declared: Located in the
 Sacramento area is a 34,000-man battle group. This was particularly
 interesting news to this writer, who lives in the Sacramento area and who
 has numerous reliable sources at the various military bases in the
region --
 all of whom laughed at the story. Ditto for the law enforcement officers
who
 patrol the area and the private pilots who overtly the entire territory on
a
 regular basis and who could reasonably be expected to notice such a large
 deployment, even if it were divided into several smaller groups.*

 * This, of course, does not prove that there are not hundreds of
thousands
 of Russian/foreign/UN troops dispersed and concealed throughout the
country,
 since one can't prove a negative. Besides, one must grant that this is a
big
 country with plenty of rural and urban areas where it would be possible to
 hide large numbers of men and equipment, and that the Soviets have proven
 themselves time and again to be masters of what they call Maskirovka --
 camouflage or concealment. Nevertheless, the burden of proof rests with
 those who make the charges, and while reasonable minds may nibble at
 seemingly outlandish charges, they demand at least a modicum of
 substantiating evidence before swallowing the whole thing.

 The same map, along with several others allegedly depicting the
whereabouts
 of MJTF and FINCEN gestapo units, appears in Cheque Mate: The Game of
 Princes, a book on the new world order by Jeffrey Baker published in 1993.
 In this case the author is at least fairly open about the fact that he is
 passing on mere hearsay, even if at the same time he seems to be half
 vouching for its validity with the serious attention he gives it: If
these
 maps (and the information on them) are authentic, there are also United
 Nations Battle Groups whose entrance to the United States was passed under
 Presidential Executive Order signed 11 November 1990 by George Bush. There
 appear to be fifteen locations on this map.

 Do you recognize these tactics?
 War Chest of Techniques For the Sole Purpose of Psychological
 Manipulation
 of Individuals, committees, and groups as well as the public.

 This has been developed by Government/Educational Agencies:

 -Definitions critical to understanding the PROCESS

 1) Delphi Technique: Opposition is made to look dogmatic, unreasonable,
 inarticulate, and unknowledgeable. (If you don't like the message shoot
 the
 messenger. Character assassination a must when unable to defend position
 via
 the scientific method.)

 2) Crisis Intervention: Create a crisis, artificial or real, and then
 come
 in with your own solution.

 3) Consensus/group thought: Must think alike in order to be part of the
 group.

 4) Dialectics: Forced conflict in order to force compromise/ ever
 evolving
 toward ultimate goal.

 5) Position of POWER: Gives control of information dissemination,
 ultimate
 power of selecting who is and who is not placed on any given committees-
 control this and the outcome is a given.

 6.) Develop Stakeholders: Those who have a stake in making it happen.
 Stakeholders are reached by appealing to their pocketbooks, (money
 talks) by
 recognition, by power, by a feeling of goodwill, and Last by one's
 ideology/world view.

 7) Develop special people to become change agents- people who are fully
 trained in all aspects of psychological warfare.

 Minor Points:

 1) Mix a little truth into a lie, and tell the lie often enough and the
 public will believe it.

 2) Bombard and overwhelm the public with information

 3) Well constructed surveys will prove anything one wants to prove

 4) Befriend the opposition to pick up clues in how to plan strategies in
 dealing with the opposition.

 5) Frame the issues or put the spin on information in such a way as to
 appeal to as many people as possible.

 6) Orwellian Doublespeak: Choose words that mean one thing to one person
 and
 something quite different to someone else: example: Educational
 Standards-
 to most parents this means academic standards, to big business
 especially
 international business as in global economy this means job training/ job
 skill standards, a cheap and compliant workforce to compete in the
 global
 economy and to those who believe in the nanny state government it means
 standards for reshaping, remolding good little politically correct
 Children.

 7) Clintonian/ Orwellian Doublespeak: Example- A tax increase is not
 really
 a tax hike, but is an increased contribution to the government to the
 village for the betterment of society, combine Delphi and define anyone
 who
 is opposed to the increased contribution as greedy scrooges. Or , It
 takes
 a village to raise a child- what that really means it takes the
 Government,
 or the Nanny State Government to raise a child. Parents you are
 basically
 obsolete, Parents bear in mind here, only the village idiot would let
 the
 entire village in on the task of raising their children.

 8) Marathon Meetings/ Long Meetings: designed to wear people down,
 people
 more likely to go along with flow in order to bring things to a close.

Communist Rules for Revolution

Claim:   A list of Communist Rules for Revolution was discovered by Allied
forces in Germany in 1919.
Status:   False.

Example:



Communist Rules for Revolution
In May 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany, the allied forces discovered a copy of
these 'Rules.' They were first printed in the United States in the
'Bartlesville (Oklahoma) Examiner-Enterprise' the same year, 1919.

Almost 20 years later, in 1946, the attorney general of Florida obtained
them from a known member of the Communist Party, who acknowledged that the
'Rules' were then still a part of the Communist program for the United
States.






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

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

3. Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on
athletics, sexy books, plays and immoral movies.

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

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

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

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

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

9. Cause breakdown of the old moral values - honesty, sobriety,
self-restraint, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

10. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to
confiscate them and leaving the populace helpless.



Origins:   A time-honored ploy in the political arena has been to discredit
your opponents (and their ideas) by demonizing them, by associating them
with . . . well, demons. In the twentieth century, this has usually meant
claiming that the ideas your opponents advocate were implemented by Nazis or
Communists, or were recognized by them as means of softening up a country
and making it ripe for totalitarian takeover. So, for example, if you oppose
gun registration, or you think we the films industry should be more heavily
regulated to prevent it from corrupting our youth, just point to this
document and proclaim that the Communists came to power in Russia because
the previous government had imposed the mandatory registration of firearms
and allowed callow youth to idle away their time watching immoral movies.

As shown in the example above, this document is usually claimed to have been
discovered in May 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany, by allied forces and first
printed in the United States in the Bartlesville, Oklahoma
Examiner-Enterprise. Although the Examiner-Enterprise is a real newspaper,
none of this rings true. Language about getting the young interested in
sex and focusing their attention on sexy books and fretting about the
registration of all firearms sound out of place for 1919. Even if this
document really had been found in 1919, it's unlikely Americans would have
found it alarming back then, when the German hun was still a much bigger
bogeyman than the Russian communist. And not surprisingly, nobody has ever
managed to turn up the mysterious issue of Examiner-Enterprise that
supposedly printed it. When columnist Bob Greene checked out this piece with
Russian specialists at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University
in the mid-1980s, they said the list was a total fraud, an obvious
fabrication, and an implausible concoction of American fears and phobias.
(Greene also wrote: I always wanted to meet a communist who was carrying
the list around, so I could ask him what 'obloquy' means.)

When The New York Times ran an article on this piece way back in 1970, it
had already been circulating for about twenty-five years. The Times reported

[CTRL] Chuck Harder vs. the New World Order

-Caveat Lector-

ER.HTM
...III. Critical Ambiguities of the New Populism
We are witnessing the long and painful demise of the Fordist socio-political
regime through which American industrial workers were incorporated into the
hegemonic bloc which constructed the postwar global order. Finding their
economic security and their political identity increasingly problematic, the
easy certainties of the Cold War no longer providing fixed ideological
reference points, American working people are trying to make sense of a
rapidly changing world. It is in this context that alternative narratives of
globalization increasingly challenge the blandishments of liberal
internationalists. Some of these interpretations emphasize the
anti-democratic character of transnational capitalism and the need to
construct popular-democratic institutions within the world economy. Others
view globalization as a process infused with evil intent, the product of
un-American treacheries designed to undermine the Constitutional republic
and its guarantees of individual rights. These latter interpretations tend
to emphasize nationalism as a first line of defense against the insidious
forces of globalization. Such alternative visions of globalization are
circulating among various segments of the US population, seeking to embed
themselves in popular common sense and thus to define the horizons of
political action in this period of tension and flux.

This unfolding struggle over the meaning of globalization in popular common
sense, with all its tensions and possibilities, is represented in microcosm
in the story of Chuck Harder and the United Broadcasting Network (UBN),
referred to by the Wall Street Journal as 'Populist Inc.'. According to a
UBN promotional bulletin, Harder has been a professional broadcaster since
the 1960s. As a consumer affairs reporter, he is said to have become
disillusioned with 'the 'velvet hammer' of corporate media,' which dampens
anti-corporate messages to avoid offending advertisers. Harder left his
mainstream media job in 1987, and invested his life savings to start a radio
program for 'the little guys who had no voice'.

Controversially, in 1989 Harder sold a majority stake in his first venture,
the Sun Radio Network, to another network controlled by the Liberty Lobby -
a group which calls itself 'populist' but pushes an anti-Semitic agenda of
Holocaust denial and tales of global conspiracies by stateless
'international bankers'. After a brief partnership, Harder broke with
Liberty Lobby and left Sun to start the People's Radio Network (PRN).
Founded in 1991 with 72 stations, PRN has grown to around 300 radio stations
in all 50 states, as well as 77 TV stations. According to journalist Marc
Cooper,

More than 40,000 listeners pay a minimum of $15 a year to belong to
[Harder's] For the People organization. For an extra $19 a year another
30,000 followers subscribe to the biweekly, full color, thirty-two-page News
Reporter...From merchandise sales and memberships, People's Radio Network
grossed more than $4 million in 1994.
Broadcast industry surveys show Harder outperforming such high-profile
personalities as Michael Reagan and Oliver North, some ranking him among
America's top ten radio talk-show hosts.

Harder's radio show represents itself in the following terms: 'For the
People seeks to provide a forum for the average citizen to learn about
consumer information and the workings of our government. Because the program
is financially supported by listeners rather than advertisers, Harder speaks
without fear of corporate censorship or reprisals.' Harder says: 'Our goal
is to save the middle class, save the little guy'. Harder and his guests -
including such heavy hitters as Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan - have
routinely excoriated corporate power and a government which they represent
as unresponsive to popular needs and concerns. He and his guests have, on a
variety of grounds, been sharply critical of recent trade agreements such as
the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). During the NAFTA debate, Harder excited the
interest of his listeners to such a degree that seven thousand of them
bought copies of the full 2,000 page text of the NAFTA agreement which
Harder made available at low cost.

Recently, Harder's network was purchased by a consortium of investors
including the United Automobile Workers (UAW). One of the most historically
progressive of American industrial unions, the UAW is investing 'several
million' dollars for a share of about ten percent in the re-named United
Broadcasting Network (UBN) which, according to the Wall Street Journal, is
'designed to bring Mr. Harder to a wider audience by upgrading technology
and buying stations in major markets'. As UAW public relations chief Frank
Joyce explained to me, the union views UBN as a broad-based effort to

Re: [CTRL] The Truth About Black Slavery And The Confederate Flag

2001-06-18 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy. Berkeley: University
of California Press.
By K. Bales, published in '99.
http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/8428.html
As fine and accessible a work of investigative reporting as any of the best
that have appeared over the last decade. Serious, impassioned, and
unflinching, he has told a story that is too often ignored, and that, as he
points out, shames us all.-- The National Post (Canada)
If you read no other book this year, read this one. --The Santa Rosa Press
Democrat

Kevin Bales knows pretty much all there is to know about slavery in the
contemporary world. In Disposable People he parlays a combination of fact
and indignation into a compelling indictment of an aspect of globalism most
of us prefer not to think about. This is a timely and important expose.
Bales has cast a little light into a very dark place.-- The Globe  Mail

An insightful overview [and] a powerful exposé of human tragedy.-- Dallas
Morning News

A numbing indictiment of our blindness to the new forms of slavery
engendered by the global economy.--Kirkus Reviews

A book replete with both fascinating reportage and acute analysis.--Times
Literary Supplement

At its best an empirically informed general discussion of slavery in the
modern world economy. --Times Higher Education Supplement

Bales is to be congratulated for bringing the immensity of the slavery
problem to our attention. News accounts have highlighted the horrors of
child labor, of exploited women in the developing world and abuses of
workers in Latin America, but Bales's work shows how widespread and
multi-faceted are the many problems that lead to treating people as
disposable assets.--Joyce M. Davis, The Boston Book Review

This sober, well-researched, pioneering study . . . is about the first to
explore slavery in its modern international guise. . . . A convincing and
moving book. One can only hope that it will draw some attention to the
terrible phenomenon it describes.--The Financial Times

Blood-chilling facts and clear analysis.--Booklist

A gripping account of the major forms slavery takes around the world today,
introducing enslaved people, their families, and entire social strata
deprived of the most basic rights. . . . Disposable People is an eloquent
plea. . . . Avoiding easy moralism and sensationalism alike, it discloses
the daily soul-destroying brutality of slavery on our planet today.--Paul
Rosenberg, The Christian Science Monitor

Because of globalization, Bales argues, every consumer is linked to slavery
and the final chapter explains practical ways of helping to bring it to an
end. Begin by buying this book-all proceeds go to the international fight
against slavery.--The Sunday Tribune

The system is chillingly described in Disposable People. . . --New York
Times


Convincing, emotionally wrenching, and freighted with appropriate moral
indignation, Kevin Bales's startling presentation shows us that while the
general public is convinced slavery is a historical phenomenon of the
ancient past . . . it is in actuality a widespread tragedy found worldwide
and on a large scale. This book innovatively and usefully describes the
permutations of an ancient tradition as it exists in this modern day and
age.--Richard Pierre Claude, editor of Human Rights Quarterly
A timely and fascinating book . . . of crucial importance. Few people
realize that the increasing globalization of the economy has led to the use
of coerced labor in many parts of the globe. . . . Bales has traveled widely
and has gathered a great amount of shocking and disturbing
information.--David Brion Davis, Director, Gilder Lehrman Center for the
Study of Slavery and Abolition, Yale University

A well-researched, scholarly and deeply disturbing exposé of modern-day
slavery with well-thought-out strategies for what to do to combat this
scourge. None of us is allowed the luxury of imagined impotence. We can do
something about it.--Desmond Tutu


DESCRIPTION (back to top)

Slavery is illegal throughout the world, yet more than twenty-seven million
people are still trapped in one of history's oldest social institutions.
Kevin Bales's disturbing story of slavery today reaches from brick kilns in
Pakistan and brothels in Thailand to the offices of multinational
corporations. His investigation of conditions in Mauritania, Brazil,
Thailand, Pakistan, and India reveals the tragic emergence of a new
slavery, one intricately linked to the global economy. The new slaves are
not a long-term investment as was true with older forms of slavery, explains
Bales. Instead, they are cheap, require little care, and are disposable.

Three interrelated factors have helped create the new slavery. The enormous
population explosion over the past three decades has flooded the world's
labor markets with millions of impoverished, desperate people. The
revolution of economic globalization and modernized agriculture has
dispossessed poor farmers, making them

 Albrecht only wrote in professional journals, such as Soil Science.  He

I do not doubt that he was credentialed and had (has?) the respect of
groups of people in various places, Dr. Wallach is also credentialed
and has the respect of groups of people in various places.  But did he
say that the crops currently being grown are not as nutritious as they
were before?  Another possibility is that Dr. Albrecht's work, name and
reputation are being hijacked by the quacks in the colloidal mineral
industry.

There may be a problem with depletion of minerals from soil, but has
it really gotten worse, or are modern farming techniques cognizant of
this and do they take steps to combat and minimize or reverse it?
Even if the problem has gotten worse, is help really provided by
colloidal mineral supplements?  Every medical doctor I've ever spoken
with has told me that, given the 'patient' has a proper diet, vitamin
and mineral supplements are a waste of money, outside of a few
specific exceptions (prenatal care for expectant mothers being one
such).


Google lists over 400 hits for senate document 264 - the vast and
overwhelming majority are advertisement pages for companies who wish
to sell colloidal mineral supplements, or pages written by those who
have bought into the hoax (and who often refer to another webpage
where colloidal mineral supplements can be purchased).  This webpage

http://www.colloidal.com.au/library/section1/soildepletion.htm

(for example) links Senate Document #264 to the 1992 Earth Summit
Report (both are mentioned on Dr. Wallach's webpages), the Earth
Summit Report is also widely cited as a proof.  Whatever G.H.W.
Bush's other qualities (or lack thereof), he refused to sign any and
all treaties emerging from that summit, which I find to be somewhat
indicative of the relative worth of those documents.

This one links the 1992 earth summit report to Dr. Albrecht,

http://www.cancer-info.com/colloidal.htm

Here is the rest of the story, on Senate Document #264:

Written by Rex Beach, allegedly based on research by Dr. Charles
Northern, it was actually an opinion piece printed in Cosmopolitan
in 1936 (film at 11).

Here is the National Council Against Health Fraud newsletter, which
debunks a certain Dr. Wallach and his claims of mineral deficiency,
it also debunks Senate Document #264 quite authoritatively:

http://www.ncahf.org/nl/1998/1-2.html - it's a long page, here is the
relevent excerpt:

The most recent contribution to the body of counter information is
offered by Donald Davis, PhD, of the University of Texas at Austin.
Davis located Senate Document 264 cited by Wallach as evidence
that 99% of Americans are deficient in minerals.  It turns out that
the document is nothing more than the reprinting of a highly
speculative article about a passing fad written by a Florida farmer
in the June, 1936, issue of Cosmopolitan magazine as requested by
Florida's Senator Fletcher.  Fletcher died 16 days after requesting
that the government printing office reprint the article.

Davis presented his findings in the November, 1997, Townsend
Letter.  Davis contacted NCAHF in January and reported than Wallach
was continuing to promote this erroneous document as fact on at
least 40 radio stations throughout the nation. NCAHF has received
inquiries from abroad about Wallach's audiotape, asking for
information on its veracity. Wallach's lies appear to have become a
modern, urban legend.

So it all comes back to Dr. Albrecht.  Did he distance himself from
that earlier quackery?  Are there any empirical data, grounded in
tests duplicated and confirmed by laboratory analyses of soil samples
and mineral content

The victims are being portrayed as “paranoid” because they believe the
government is trying to take their land and break up their family. Yet,
by the government’s own admission, these charges are precisely true. The
family’s belief that the father’s MS was caused by environmental
pollutants is entirely within the realm of plausibility. By definition,
it’s only paranoia if one’s beliefs are not grounded in reality.

This family is being persecuted because they are poor, and because their
land is valuable. If they were Of Color, the Left would be outraged. But
alas, they are white, so the Left is doing nothing to support them.
Racism cuts both ways. For shame, Leftists, for shame.

IMF'S FOUR STEPS TO DAMNATION
-
How crises, failures, and suffering finally drove a Presidential adviser to
the wrong side of the barricades

Gregory Palast
Sunday April 29, 2001
The Observer

It was like a scene out of Le Carré: the brilliant agent comes in from the
cold and, in hours of debriefing, empties his memory of horrors committed in
the name of an ideology gone rotten.

But this was a far bigger catch than some used-up Cold War spy. The former
apparatchik was Joseph Stiglitz, ex-chief economist of the World Bank. The
new world economic order was his theory come to life.

He was in Washington for the big confab of the World Bank and International
Monetary Fund. But instead of chairing meetings of ministers and central
bankers, he was outside the police cordons. The World Bank fired Stiglitz
two years ago. He was not allowed a quiet retirement: he was excommunicated
purely for expressing mild dissent from globalisation World Bank-style.

Here in Washington we conducted exclusive interviews with Stiglitz, for The
Observer and Newsnight, about the inside workings of the IMF, the World
Bank, and the bank's 51% owner, the US Treasury.

And here, from sources unnamable (not Stiglitz), we obtained a cache of
documents marked, 'confidential' and 'restricted'.

Stiglitz helped translate one, a 'country assistance strategy'. There's an
assistance strategy for every poorer nation, designed, says the World Bank,
after careful in-country investigation.

But according to insider Stiglitz, the Bank's 'investigation' involves
little more than close inspection of five-star hotels. It concludes with a
meeting with a begging finance minister, who is handed a 'restructuring
agreement' pre-drafted for 'voluntary' signature.

Each nation's economy is analysed, says Stiglitz, then the Bank hands every
minister the same four-step programme.

Step One is privatisation. Stiglitz said that rather than objecting to the
sell-offs of state industries, some politicians - using the World Bank's
demands to silence local critics - happily flogged their electricity and
water companies. 'You could see their eyes widen' at the possibility of
commissions for shaving a few billion off the sale price.

And the US government knew it, charges Stiglitz, at least in the case of
the biggest privatisation of all, the 1995 Russian sell-off. 'The US
Treasury view was: This was great, as we wanted Yeltsin re-elected. We
DON'T CARE if it's a corrupt election. '

Stiglitz cannot simply be dismissed as a conspiracy nutter. The man was
inside the game - a member of Bill Clinton's cabinet, chairman of the
President's council of economic advisers.

Most sick-making for Stiglitz is that the US-backed oligarchs stripped
Russia's industrial assets, with the effect that national output was cut
nearly in half.

After privatisation, Step Two is capital market liberalisation. In theory
this allows investment capital to flow in and out. Unfortunately, as in
Indonesia and Brazil, the money often simply flows out.

Stiglitz calls this the 'hot money' cycle. Cash comes in for speculation in
real estate and currency, then flees at the first whiff of trouble. A
nation's reserves can drain in days.

And when that happens, to seduce speculators into returning a nation's own
capital funds, the IMF demands these nations raise interest rates to 30%,
50% and 80%.

'The result was predictable,' said Stiglitz. Higher interest rates demolish
property values, savage industrial production and drain national treasuries.

At this point, according to Stiglitz, the IMF drags the gasping nation to
Step Three: market-based pricing - a fancy term for raising prices on food,
water and cooking gas. This leads, predictably, to Step-Three-and-a-Half:
what Stiglitz calls 'the IMF riot'.

The IMF riot is painfully predictable. When a nation is, 'down and out,
[the IMF] squeezes the last drop of blood out of them. They turn up the heat
until, finally, the whole cauldron blows up,' - as when the IMF eliminated
food and fuel subsidies for the poor in Indonesia in 1998. Indonesia
exploded into riots.

There are other examples - the Bolivian riots over water prices last year
and, this February, the riots in Ecuador over the rise in cooking gas prices
imposed by the World Bank. You'd almost believe the riot was expected.

And it is. What Stiglitz did not know is that Newsnight obtained several
documents from inside the World Bank. In one, last year's Interim Country
Assistance Strategy for Ecuador, the Bank several times suggests - with cold
accuracy - that the plans could be expected to spark 'social unrest'.

That's not surprising. The secret report notes that the plan to make the US
dollar

Here's a message from Cathryn Swan [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

Hi.

The No Spray Coalition needs your help in trying to raise funds and
awareness to stop the impending spraying of toxic pesticides on us and our
environment -- yet again. Despite intentionally ambiguous news reports, New
York City has every intention of spraying pesticides this year. Here are
some ways you can help:

*FUNDRAISING MAILING - THURSDAY, MAY 10TH, MANHATTAN - volunteer help
needed:  If you are available Thursday, May 10th late afternoon  evening,
please join us for a fundraising mailing from either 4:30-7 or 7-9ish. We
will be meeting in Soho, downtown Manhattan, convenient to all trains.
Please contact me if you can help and I will forward the location. (And
feel free to bring chips and beer.)

*JOIN THE FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE:  Interested in being part of the
Fundraising Committee? Help plan benefit concerts, meet exciting musicians,
see the world ... contribute other ideas. Please contact me, Cathryn, either
by email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or via phone, #212/343-2209.

*MEDIA COMMITTEE:  Interested in joining the Media Committee in New York
City? If you (or someone you know) is interested in putting together press
kits, alerting/faxing the media, and more, please join. We'd like to do
more press work  could use help -- anyone with some time, resources, ideas
is invaluable.

Thank you.

Mitchel's PS -- Cathryn Swan's done a great job keeping the media informed,
getting out immediate counter statements from No Spray every time the
officials open their mouths on the issue, and so forth. She needs help!
CALL HER, PLEASE!


*LOCAL EVENTS:  If you'd like to set up a fundraising event in your area,
the No Spray Coalition can arrange for speakers and provide information for
flyers. At the last No Spray meeting, we began targetting neighborhoods in
New York City for community meetings and teach-ins.

Meg Feeley and Mitchel Cohen travelled to a meeting of the New Jersey Green
Party last week. Jerseyites are beginning to set up a more active No Spray
effort there. We'd like to see this expanded EVERYWHERE.

If you can help with a meeting in your neighborhood or plug into what we've
started, that would be great. Outside of New York City is very important
... New Jersey, Long Island, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, North Carolina,
more. Please let us know. We can provide dynamic speakers and information.
And don't forget to tell your friends to come to the first No Spray forum
of this year, which will take place on the Upper West Side, Manhattan, on
Wednesday, May 23rd at 6 p.m.  We are working on another one in the Lower
East Side/Chinatown and also in Flushing, Queens; more are in the works. We
need to mobilize local residents to participate. We CAN stop the poisoning
of ourselves and the environment. We're making lots of headway. So let's
GET IT ON!

Leafletting in these areas is important as well. We'd like to have a
month-long string of events. Please help set one up in your area. Contact

Did Bush camp encourage military personnel to vote after
Election Day? In an excerpt from his new book, Jake Tapper
uncovers the down and dirty partisan scuffle to win the Florida
recount battle -- and the presidency.

  - - - - - - - - - -
By Jake Tapper

March 5, 2001 | In the heat of last fall's historic post-
election presidential campaign, when advocates for Al Gore and
George W. Bush were navigating the swampy world of Florida
election law, some of the ugliest wrangling -- and some of the
most legally debatable maneuvering on both sides -- centered on
the counting of overseas absentee ballots.

According to a knowledgeable Republican operative, the Bush camp
even discussed a strategy that, if implemented, would have
broken the law: organizing a post-election get-out-the-vote
drive among overseas military personnel who had registered to
vote but had not cast ballots by Election Day.

Bush officials did not return calls seeking comment on the
report. But according to the knowledgeable GOP source, on
Saturday, Nov. 11, Bush's political team held a 60- to 90-minute
conference call for campaign operatives scattered throughout
Florida. In the course of the discussion, they discussed having
political operatives near overseas military bases encourage
soldiers who had registered to vote -- but never did -- to fill
out their ballots and send them in, more than four days after
the voting deadline.

Was this plan, a blatant act of voter fraud, ever carried out?
There's no concrete proof that it was, as of today -- and if it
was, whoever was involved isn't talking. (Neither South
Carolina-based strategist Warren Tompkins, who ran Bush's
absentee ballot monitoring operation, nor Bush political
director Ken Mehlman returned calls for comment.) What's not in
doubt is the crucial role the overseas military ballots -- and
the vicious, behind-the-scenes battle over whether to count them
-- played in the outcome of the Florida vote and, ultimately,
the election.

Before the election, 23,246 overseas ballots were mailed out
from the state of Florida, and more than half of them -- 14,415
-- had come in by Election Day. As of Nov. 13, Monday, Florida's
67 counties had received 446 military overseas ballots since
Nov. 8.

By Nov. 16, Thursday afternoon, that number had swelled to
2,575.

By the next day, it was 3,733.

There was certainly plenty of wrangling and duplicity on both
sides when it came to the issue of overseas absentee ballots. At
a time when the Gore team's mantra was "Count every vote," for
instance, its attorneys were trying to disqualify any ballot
cast by overseas military personnel that was even remotely
questionable. And the Bush team -- worried about whether it
would be hurt by the overseas absentee ballots, thanks to the
high numbers of voters in Israel who might be energized by Joe
Lieberman's presence on the ticket -- at first focused on trying
to scope out and prevent possible voter fraud by the absentees.
Gore-Lieberman garnered 80 percent of the Jewish vote Nov. 7,
and estimates held that about 4,000 Florida Jews might be
expected to cast absentee ballots from the land of milk and
honey.

It was clear to strategists on both sides, within days after
Nov. 7, that they needed to supplement their focus on hand
recounts with a side strategy on the overseas absentee ballots,
which were due Friday, Nov. 17. The Bush team turned to Warren
Tompkins -- who had helmed Bush's nasty South Carolina primary
campaign against Arizona Sen. John McCain -- to coordinate its
strategy. Days after the election, he put together a spreadsheet
on the overseas absentee ballots, what had come in already, what
had been counted, how many had been requested, how many were
still expected in and so on. The overseas absentee ballots were
likely to go their way, Tompkins told his colleagues, but he
anticipated that the Democrats wouldn't make it easy for them to
be accepted, and would challenge as many as possible.

"You're kidding me," spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said. "They can't
protest."

"We think they're going to," Tompkins responded.

Tucker wanted to let the press know about this at once, but she
was overruled. Let's wait, she was told.

It was on Nov. 11 that the Bush political team organized a
conference call to discuss its absentee ballot strategy. In
those first crazy days of the post-election battle, anywhere
from a dozen to 60 or so people could have been on the call.

Many matters were attended to. The group talked about finding
volunteers to be observers in counties doing recounts. They
talked about drumming up protesters. They talked about assigning
operatives to different clerks' offices to wait for the overseas
absentee ballots, and to report anything Democrats did to
challenge them. And, according to a knowledgeable Republican
source, in the course of this conversation the Bush team
discussed having political operatives abroad encourage certain
soldiers who had registered to vote -- but never did

Milosevic killed Stambolic over Swiss stash: Sunday Times

LONDON, Sunday -- Slobodan Milosevic had Ivan Stambolic killed because he
refused to turn over funds from secret Swiss bank accounts, the Sunday Times
reported.

During his time as Serbian president, Stambolic used his control of state
bank Jubmes to engineer vast import-export deals, Serbian investigators told
the Sunday Times.

Jubmes bank financed the deals, but dealt with the huge profits off the
books.

Stambolic was known to be one of the few insiders aware of where Jubmes
stashed the funds, the Sunday Times wrote.

Milosevic toppled Stambolic from the Serbian presidency in 1988.

During the next two years, his regime blew through 15.8 billion Deutschmark
of Yugoslavia's foreign currency reserves, estimated at about 25.4 billion
Deutschmark in 1991.

In the meantime, banking authorities froze most of Yugoslavia's foreign
assets.

Scrabbling for cash before his September defeat, Milosevic pressed Stambolic
to reveal details about the accounts. Foreseeing his own political comeback,
Stambolic refused.

Investigators believe Milosevic ordered his former "mentor" assassinated in
retaliation, the weekly reports.

Stambolic disappeared on August 25 last year while jogging. He is presumed
dead.

 ** The End of a Story

 *** The Arrest of Slobodan Milosevic

 A drama with singing, shooting, rumours, beating and negotiations
much
 more than the developments of October 5 marked the definite
end of
 everything Milosevic had represented. He alone has remained
the same:
 after maximum doggedness, when he was faced with extreme
consequences,
 he agreed to everything

 AIM Belgrade, April 2, 2001


 In a transversal narrow street in Dedinje (elite part of
Belgrade),
 around midnight on March 30, an elderly gentleman asked whether
 "People's Guard" of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) were
still
 guarding Slobodan Milosevic. Reporters which were in a hurry
to the
 Justice Palace because rumour circulated that former president
of FR
 Yugoslavia had just been taken there, replied with a counter-question:
 "Haven't you heard that he has just been arrested?", and
in the
 following couple of moments they witnessed tumbling down
of an entire
 world in the eyes of the old man.

 However, at that moment, Milosevic still was not locked up.
Only after
 36 hours of drama with singing, shooting, rumours, beating,
pushing,
 swearing and negotiating it finally happened around 4.30
on April 1.
 Nevertheless, this whole spectacle, much more than the developments
on
 October 5, 2000, marked the definite end of everything Milosevic
had
 represented.

 The month of March, indeed, does not seem to have been marked
by
 anything else but great expectations of the "arrest of all
arrests".
 Several days before March 31 - the date President of the
USA George Bush
 Junior and the Congress had set as the deadline by which
official
 Belgrade was supposed to begin cooperation with the Hague
Tribunal if it
 counted on getting American aid and a significant sum of
money from the
 donors' conference - impatience had reached its climax. The
new
 administration was caught in a very delicate situation: on
the one hand
 there was the demand for the arrest and extradition of Slobodan
 Milosevic (the essence of American conditions), and on the
other denials
 and acceptance of the Hague Tribunal and the division within
the ruling
 coalition, the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) because
of it.
 Momentary and unquestioning meeting of the demands of Washington
was
 assessed by the authorities as the best way to acquire the
image of
 "NATO yes-men" what the former regime had constantly accused
them of,
 and nothing to say about the continuation of never-ending
and unlimited
 pressure; should they refuse, the country would be left without
foreign
 aid and in fact Milosevic's policy of "absolute sovereignty",
isolation
 and opposition would continue.

 A solution was found at five minutes to twelve. An indictment
was
 prepared for the former president of FR Yugoslavia for major
abuse of
 power and financial embezzlement. He would be arrested not
because of
 the American threat, but for violation of domestic laws at
the request
 of the judiciary which is not at all bad, if for no other
reason because

 majority of the public is in favour of that, anyway. However,
in
 pretending that they were uninformed in connection with the
embarrassing
 "coincidence", certain ministers and politicians were simply
insulting
 for the common sense.

 That Milosevic is "this time certainly" "packing" was whispered
on March
 28; just a day later - everybody knew; on March 30, around
20.00 h - at
 least for media - everything began.

 The starting signal was sounded by Branislav Ivkovic, head
of the SPS
 group of deputies in the Assembly of Serbia. About 19.00
h on March 30,
 the Socialists left the session of the parliament because,
as Ivkovic
 had informed them, jeeps with members of special police units
had
 appeared in front of number 11 Uziska street where Milosevics
are living
 at the moment. There were two intentions: first, that Milosevic
be
 summonsed to appear in front

Re: [CTRL] We Bombed Chinese Embassy on Purpose

2001-04-11 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

http://www.sfbg.com/News/35/28/28pc.html
4. Did the U.S. deliberately bomb the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade?

On May 7, 1999, U.S. planes bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade.
President Clinton called the bombing "a tragic mistake," the result of
faulty maps provided by U.S. intelligence services.

That was good enough for the American media, but it wasn't good enough for
their overseas counterparts. Working together, reporters from the London
Observer and Copenhagen's Politiken found U.S. and NATO government and
military sources who told a different story. One official at the National
Imagery and Mapping Agency, perhaps piqued at the assertion that his agency
had botched its job, called the faulty-map story "a damned lie."

In fact, according to these high-ranking sources, NATO deliberately targeted
the Chinese Embassy, which was serving as a rebroadcast station for the
Yugoslav army.

After the Observer broke the story, the Associated Press wire service picked
it up, but few major papers ran it. The Washington Post gave it 90 words in
an international news briefs section, under the headline, "NATO Denies Story
on Embassy Bombing." The New York Times didn't mention it at all. When the
press watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting asked the Times why
it ignored the story, the paper's foreign editor described the Observer's
piece as "not terribly well-sourced, by our standards at least."

"It sounds like the Times might be holding out for a named official source,"
FAIR's Seth Ackerman told In These Times, "which is a standard of evidence
that the Times likes to apply in cases where they would rather not report
the story at all."

 May/June 1993 | Contents
BIG STORIES, SPOOKY SOURCES


by Chip Berlet
Berlet is an analyst at Political Research Associates in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, where he studies authoritarianism, bigotry, and the far
right.
For an investigative journalist, reporting on official misconduct involving
covert operations, intelligence-gathering, and national security issues is
like competing in a potato-sack race in a minefield. All officials tend to
be suspicious of the motives of nosy journalists; government spokespersons
frequently deny first and dissemble later; meanwhile, actual spies tend to
keep their mouths shut. As a result, sources for such stories frequently
come from a murky netherworld of ex-intelligence agents, retired military
officers, and self-anointed investigators. Some offer valuable information
along with frustrating fantasies; some are well-meaning but confused; others
are professional or amateur charlatans. A few are brilliant paranoid
crackpots. Some people just plain lie.

Over the past three years, this reporter has interviewed or read the
relevant writings of more than fifty investigative reporters and researchers
spanning the political spectrum. Most of them thought one should not
minimize the continuing reality of illegal and unethical conduct by
government and private intelligence operatives. But even those who agreed
that tough reporting on these subjects help defend constitutional safeguards
added that they have grown very weary of hearing the same unproved or
debunked conspiratorial stories over and over again.

"A lot of stories with conspiratorial themes have gone a great distance with
very few credible witnesses," says Michael Kelly of The New York Times.
"Some reporters use a much lower standard of evidence with these stories.
They are tempted to take what they can get, and overlook the fact that the
source has been convicted twice for perjury and on alternate Tuesdays he
thinks he is Napoleon Bonaparte."

If many of the key sources for conspiracy stories are unreliable, why are so
many journalists tempted to use them? One reason is that, in an age of
official denials, many journalists give unofficial sources the benefit of
the doubt. Another is that, in some cases, the tales these sources tell
provide a fairly clear-cut explanation of what may otherwise be a confusing
welter of conceivably related events. In short, they provide a story line. A
third reason is that they can usually supply details that seem to
substantiate their version of events. When the details provided by two or
three such sources mesh, the theory gains in credibility and the story built
on it may gain wider attention in the media. Meanwhile, talk radio shows,
interviews on small FM stations, even messages posted on computerized
information networks contribute to keeping the theories alive -- and
building an audience that wants to hear more.

The following look at a selection of individuals and groups that have served
as sources for recent conspiracy stories may help to point up the problems
they can pose for journalists in both the print and broadcast media.

Several spooky sources contributed to the October Surprise story line,
according to which the 1980 Reagan-Bush presidential campaign made a deal
with the Iranians to delay the release of American hostages until after the
November elections, to help assume the defeat of Jimmy Carter. A key figure
in that story, and one whose usefulness as a source has been attacked and
defended in these pages, was former Israeli intelligence operative Ari
Ben-Menashe (see "The October Surprise: Enter the Press, CFJ, March, 1992 /
April, 1992, and "October Surprise: Unger v. Weinberg," Letters, May, 1992 /
June, 1992).

One journalist who took Ben-Menashe's allegations more seriously than most
was Craig Unger, author of an October 1991 Esquire article titled "October
Surprise." Following several attacks on the Surprise theory, Unger wrote a
long, interesting article called "The Trouble With Ari," which appeared in
The Village Voice in July 1992. There, more clearly than in his Esquire
piece Unger explains the dilemma source of this kind poses for the
journalist. After reminding readers that some of Ben-Menashe's claims can be
corroborated and that he was "the guy who started talking about the
clandestine American arms pipeline to Iraq's Saddam Hussein . . . long
before the story started breaking in the press this spring," Unger writes:

Ari has put five or six dozen journalists from all over the world through
roughly the same paces. His seduction begins with a display of his mastery
of the trade crft of the legendary Israeli intelligence services. A roll of
quarters handy for furtive phone calls, he navigates the back channels that
tie the spooks at Langley to their counterparts in Tel Aviv. His astute
analyses and mindboggling revelations can stir even the most jaded old hand
of the Middle East. . . . But trust

[CTRL] Theodor W. Adorno (Frankfurt School)./Theses against Occultism

2001-04-05 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

http://www.ldb.org/adorno.htm

http://www.home.thirdage.com/education/ralphdavid/adornocc.html

THESES AGAINST OCCULTISM
by Theodor Adorno

I. The tendency to occultism is a symptom of regression in consciousness.
This has lost the power to think the unconditional and to endure the
conditional. Instead of defining both, in their unity and difference, by
conceptual labour, it mixes them indiscriminately. The unconditional becomes
fact, the conditional an immediate essence. Monotheism is decomposing into a
second mythology. "I believe in astrology because I do not believe in God",
one participant in an American socio-psychological investigation answered.
Judicious reason, that had elevated itself to the notion of one God, seems
ensnared in his fall. Spirit is dissociated into spirits and thereby
forfeits the power to recognize that they do not exist. The veiled tendency
of society towards disaster lulls its victims in a false revelation, with a
hallucinated phenomenon. In vain they hope in its fragmented blatancy to
look their total doom in the eye and withstand it. Panic breaks once again,
after millennia of enlightenment, over a humanity whose control of nature as
control of men far exceeds in horror anything men ever had to fear from
nature.

II. The second mythology is more untrue than the first. The latter was the
precipitate of the state of knowledge of successive epochs, each of which
showed its consciousness to be some degrees more free of blind subservience
to nature than had the previous. The former, deranged and bemused, throws
away the hard-won knowledge of itself in the midst of a society which, by
the all-encompassing exchange-relationship, eliminates precisely the
elemental power the occultists claim to command. The helmsman looking to the
Dioscuri, the attribution of animation to tree and spring, in all their
deluded bafflement before the unexplained, were historically appropriate to
the subject's experience of the objects of his actions. As a rationally
exploited reaction to rationalized society, however, in the booths and
consulting rooms of seers of all gradations, reborn animism denies the
alienation of which it is itself proof and product, and concocts surrogates
for non-existent experience. The occultist draws the ultimate conclusion
from the fetish-character of commodities: menacingly objectified labour
assails him on all sides from demonically grimacing objects. What has been
forgotten in a world congealed into products, the fact that it has been
produced by men, is split off and misremembered as a being-in-itself added
to that of the objects and equivalent to them. Because objects have frozen
in the cold light of reason, lost their illusory animation, the social
quality that now animates them is given an independent existence both
natural and supernatural, a thing among things.

III. By its regression to magic under late capitalism, thought is
assimilated to late capitalist forms. The asocial twilight phenomena in the
margins of the system, the pathetic attempts to squint through the chinks in
its walls, while revealing nothing of what is outside, illuminate all the
more clearly the forces of decay within. The bent little fortune-tellers
terrorizing their clients with crystal balls are toy models of the great
ones who hold the fate of mankind in their hands. Just as hostile and
conspiratorial as the obscurantists of psychic research is society itself.
The hypnotic power exerted by things occult resembles totalitarian terror:
in present-day processes the two are merged. The smiling of auguries is
amplified to society's sardonic laughter at itself; gloating over the direct
material exploitation of souls. The horoscope corresponds to the official
directives to the nations, and number-mysticism is preparation for
administrative statistics and cartel prices. Integration itself proves in
the end to be an ideology for disintegration into power groups which
exterminate each other. He who integrates is lost.

IV. Occultism is a reflex-action to the subjectification of all meaning, the
complement of reification. If; to the living, objective reality seems deaf
as never before, they try to elicit meaning from it by saying abracadabra.
Meaning is attributed indiscriminately to the next worst thing: the
rationality of the real, no longer quite convincing, is replaced by hopping
tables and rays from heaps of earth. The offal of the phenomenal world
becomes, to sick consciousness, the mundus intelligibilis. It might almost
be speculative truth, just as Kafka's Odradek might almost be an angel, and
yet it is, in a positivity that excludes the medium of thought, only
barbaric aberration alienated from itself, subjectivity mistaking itself for
its object. The more consummate the inanity of what is fobbed off as
"spirit" -- and in anything less spiritless the enlightened subject would at
once recognize itself, -- the more the meaning detected there, which in fact
is not there at all,

CRITICAL THEORY AT THE BARRICADES

ON APRIL 22, 1969, SHORTLY AFTER BEGINNING a lecture in his course on
dialectical thought before an audience of nearly one thousand students at
the University of Frankfurt, the eminent Frankfurt School sociologist and
Marxist cultural critic Theodor W. Adorno found himself in an unusual
situation. A student in one of the back rows interrupted him, demanding that
he engage in "self-criticism." Another student silently walked up to the
blackboard and wrote the following words: "He who only allows dear Adorno to
rule will uphold capitalism his entire life." After Adorno told the class
that they would have five minutes to decide if his lecture should continue,
three female students dressed in leather jackets rushed the podium. They
showered him with roses and tulips, exposed their breasts, and tried
repeatedly to kiss him. Incensed and humiliated, Adorno stormed out of the
lecture hall.

This incident, which came to be known as the Busenaktion ("breast action"),
has never figured with much prominence in American studies of the Frankfurt
School. Americans are far more apt to think of the leading figures of
Critical Theory–Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, and
others–languishing in exile in New York and southern California during the
Nazi period, or of the eclectic blend of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and
sociology that characterized their thought. Their work is famous for its
mandarinism, its abstraction, and–especially in the case of Adorno–its
uncompromising commitment to the independence of critical thought and high
art. Yet in Germany, on the thirtieth anniversary of the student revolts of
1968, the Frankfurt School is also remembered for its vexed role in the
volatile, sometimes violent political upheavals of the 1960s.

The Busenaktion was just one of many confrontations between the increasingly
"praxis"-oriented German New Left and the theoreticians who had been its
mentors. The turbulent evolution of this relationship is the subject of
Wolfgang Kraushaar’s elaborate three-volume work, Frankfurter Schule und
Studentenbewegung: Von der Flaschenpost zum Molotowcocktail, 1946—1995 (The
Frankfurt School and the Student Movement: From the Message in the Bottle to
the Molotov Cocktail, 1946—1995), published in Germany this past spring by
Rogner  Bernhard. A political scientist at Hamburg’s Institute of Social
Research and a bona fide ’68er, Kraushaar has produced a painstaking and
lavish collection. It consists of a meticulously detailed historical
overview, an extensive compendium of documents and photographs, and a
collection of retrospective essays with titles like "Dialogues on Theory and
Praxis" and "The Oedipal Complex of the ’68ers."

The story that these volumes tell ends on a sorry note. Adorno and
Horkheimer, the grand old men of the German intellectual left, saw their
lectures heckled, their institute occupied, and their own students, notably
Adorno’s protg Hans-Jrgen Krahl, turn against them. In a moment of
despair during the student occupation of the institute in January 1969,
Adorno called the police. Students were outraged at his betrayal. "Adorno as
institution is dead," declared a flyer distributed by a radical group of
sociology students in April of that year.


"ADORNO AS INSTITUTION IS DEAD," DECLARED A FLYER DISTRIBUTED BY A RADICAL
GROUP OF SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS.
Adorno himself would survive just another few months. He died of a heart
attack in Switzerland on August 6, 1969, at the age of sixty-five. Six weeks
earlier, he had written to Marcuse of his "extreme depression" and of his
revulsion at the fascist overtones he sensed in the tactics and demands of t
he students.

Yet relations between leftist German students and their mentors had not
always been so antagonistic. Kraushaar begins in the late 1940s, when
Horkheimer and Adorno, the two central figures from the prewar incarnation
of the Frankfurt-based Institut fr Sozialforschung, returned to Germany
from their American exile. Their "critical sociology," which fused the
insights of Weber with those of Marx and Hegel, along with their trenchant
critique of fascism, attracted students looking for alternatives to the
positivism and conservatism that dominated German intellectual life.

When Horkheimer first returned to Germany, originally as a guest professor
at the University of Frankfurt in 1948 and then as the chair of sociology
and philosophy in 1949, his students received him warmly. From th

[CTRL] School Shootings and White Denial

2001-03-07 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

School Shootings and White Denial
Tim Wise, AlterNet
March 6, 2001

I can think of no other way to say this, so here goes: white people need to
pull our heads out of our collective ass.


Two more white children are dead and thirteen are injured, and another
"nice" community is scratching its blonde head, utterly perplexed at how a
school shooting the likes of the one yesterday in Santee, California could
happen. After all, as the Mayor of the town said in an interview with CNN:
"We're a solid town, a good town, with good kids, a good church-going
town…an All-American town." Yeah, well maybe that's the problem.


I said this after Columbine and no one listened so I'll say it again: white
people live in an utter state of self-delusion. We think danger is black,
brown and poor, and if we can just move far enough away from "those people"
in the cities we'll be safe. If we can just find an "all-American" town,
life will be better, because "things like this just don't happen here."


Well bullshit on that. In case you hadn't noticed, "here" is about the only
place these kinds of things do happen. Oh sure, there is plenty of violence
in urban communities and schools. But mass murder; wholesale slaughter;
take-a-gun-and-see-how-many-you can-kill kinda craziness seems made for
those safe places: the white suburbs or rural communities.


And yet once again, we hear the FBI insist there is no "profile" of a
school shooter. Come again? White boy after white boy after white boy, with
very few exceptions to that rule (and none in the mass shooting category),
decides to use their classmates for target practice, and yet there is no
profile? Imagine if all these killers had been black: would we still
hesitate to put a racial face on the perpetrators? Doubtful.


Indeed, if any black child in America -- especially in the mostly white
suburbs of Littleton, or Santee -- were to openly discuss their plans to
murder fellow students, as happened both at Columbine and now Santana High,
you can bet your ass that somebody would have turned them in, and the cops
would have beat a path to their doorstep. But when whites discuss their
murderous intentions, our stereotypes of what danger looks like cause us to
ignore it -- they're just "talking" and won't really do anything. How many
kids have to die before we rethink that nonsense? How many dazed and
confused parents, Mayors and Sheriffs do we have to listen to, describing
how "normal" and safe their community is, and how they just can't
understand what went wrong?

[CTRL] US Said To Export Torture Weapons

2001-02-28 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

 US Said To Export Torture Weapons
By Pauline Jelinek
Associated Press Writer
Monday, Feb. 26, 2001; 10:00 a.m. EST

WASHINGTON –– Dozens of U.S. companies sell weapons and other
equipment used overseas for torture, Amnesty International said Monday,
calling for a ban on the sales.

The items include high-tech electroshock weapons, leg irons and
serrated thumb cuffs designed to tear flesh if a detainee tries to get free,
said a report by the U.S. chapter of the London-based human rights group.

"No U.S. company should profit from torture," said William F.
Schulz, head of the chapter.

"The global manufacture, marketing and export of the equipment
for torture is a moneymaking business that turns a blind eye to the
suffering it causes," said the report, "Stopping the Torture Trade."

Although it is illegal to own some of the equipment in the
United States, Amnesty International said the Commerce Department has
granted export licenses for sales valued at $97 million since 1997 under the
category of "crime control equipment." It said some 80 American companies
were involved in the manufacture, marketing and export of the items.

An analysis of Commerce data shows Saudi Arabia, Russia, Taiwan,
Israel and Egypt as the major recipients of the U.S. equipment, Amnesty
said. The report said the group has documented that torturers in those
countries use such technology.

The equipment could also be used for legitimate law enforcement
reasons, including to restrain or subdue detainees. But Amnesty spokesman
Alistair Hodgett said the group still believes some of them – such as the
flesh-tearing thumb cuffs and a belt that emits electric shocks – are
"inherently cruel" and their export thus should be banned outright. Other
devices have not been tested for their medical effects, and their export
should be suspended, he said.

Amnesty released the study as the State Department was issuing
its annual report on human rights around the world.

"It is unconscionable that while the U.S. State Department
promotes human rights, the U.S. Department of Commerce has approved export
licenses to countries that our own government documents as committing
torture," Schulz said in a statement.

Hodgett said there are relatively few manufacturers of the
equipment, but they sell to an increasing number of suppliers and marketers.

"Once they roll off the production line there's no followup to
show where these things end up," he said in an interview.

"Despite improved government regulation of exports, weapons are
being sold and resold into the hands of torturers," Schulz said.

"In the absence of stringent worldwide controls to prevent this
..., export should be immediately halted," the Amnesty International report
said.

The report is part of a yearlong campaign by the human rights
group to document torture around the world. It also has launched an Internet
program in which supporters can send messages quickly to officials where
torture is taking place and demand an immediate end to the abuse.

FREEDOM PARTY UPDATE

4). The new Freedom Party did not get off to a very good start. Their
first meeting in their stronghold(?) of Tipton, in the West Midlands a
couple of weekends ago, attracted a grand total of 35 Freedomers,
including a couple of BNP members who went along to size up their
strength (or lack of it). The whole affair was a farce as any gathering
which includes the talented Bowden, Butler, Newland, Webster and the
Edwards would be. Before the meeting ended, a number of their Birmingham
people walked out (they have since rejoined the BNP). We will keep you
posted in future Updates on their progress.

The following is an interesting summery of the Freedom Party by BNP
Chairman Nick Griffin.

was used by U.S. military forces to defoliate the rainforest

Orange had concentrations of dioxin many times higher than that
produced by Dow Chemical, the defoliant's other leading manufacturer.
This made Monsanto the key defendant in the lawsuit brought by Vietnam
War veterans in the United States, who faced an array of debilitating
symptoms attributable to Agent Orange exposure. When a $180 million

I don't really think this is going to lead anywhere. The DoD is saying
this is a normal exercise but who knows. I do know that every time
we even sneeze in the mideast, journalists start writing that we are
preparing for something.
The last time was in November when the AF went through
a routine rotation. For 2 or 3 days we had several thousand
Air Force personnel coming home and several thousand taking
their place in the mideast. It was reported all over the press that
the Air Force had doubled their manpower in the region with hints
that something was about to happen. (Something did happen, half
of them came home a couple days later).
If this was a sign of something I wouldn't expect the Patriot
battery to be shipped via sea, I would expect it to be shipped
overnight by air (UPS or Fed-Ex maybe?) :)
But aside from that I'm skeptical of Iraq's ability to field several
divisions even in a peacetime deployment and especially in a long
range manuever through Syria to attack Israel. Although their military
industry, which I believe is underrated, could probably sustain a short
engagement, I just don't think they have the maintainance ability, spares,
or training for a long range engagement. I think they could make a
sucessful attack on a selected target or city, and they very well might, but
a
real battle (or war) wouldn't be sustainable.
Plus they would be overextended, already having (or had, that's
probably where the troops on the Syrian border came from) 16 of
their best divisions and most of their tanks deployed against the
Kurds in the north and 6 divisions in the south and east to counter
Shia (that probably should be spelled Shian?) rebels. That doesn't
leave much but a couple Republican Guard divisions which are usually
employed in defensive and early warning positions around Bagdad,
keeping Saddam in power and satisfying his paranoia. A recent
informal truce with the Kurds leaves his northern flank
somewhat secure but that probably won't last very long, it
never does.
But after 10 years of twiddling their thumbs you never know. Iraq
sure loves to get involved with the neighbors and there's a lot of dislike
for Israel in Iraq and a lot of trigger fingers that haven't been scratched
in a long time, at least outside the country.
Another journalistic error, and I do love pointing those out, Threatcon
Alpha is lower than Bravo. This article is wrong but The San Antonio
Express-News did correctly report that the Threatcon had been raised
from Alpha to Bravo instead of vice-versa.

U.S. FORCES PLACED ON ALERT

PATRIOT ANTI-MISSILE BATTERY DEPLOYED TO ISRAEL

Washington - Middle East Newsline - Friday, January 26:The United States has
sent a Patriot anti-missile defense battery to Israel amid heightened
concerns of a Middle East war.
Pentagon sources said the heightened tension in the Middle East prompted a
decision
to place on alert U.S. forces in Germany and Italy.  They said Washington
hasbeen concerned about an Iraqi attack on Israel amid reports that several
Iraqidivisions have moved close to the Syrian border. The San Antonio
Express-News published a copy of a U.S. military order that on
Jan. 11 raised the alert status of U.S. forces from Threatcon Bravo to
Alpha.
Alpha is a heightened alert of a terrorist attack.
"Recent intelligence indicates that an increased or more predictable threat
exists,
thus warranting the Threatcon change," the U.S. military order read.
Pentagon officials said the Patriot missile brigade will participate in an
exercise
in Israel scheduled for Feb. 8. The exercise will last 15 days.
The exercise, called "Juniper Cobra," will include about 400 members of the
69th
Air Defense Artillery Brigade based near Frankfurt, Germany.  A Patriot
missile
battery and personnel are expected to arrive by ship on Feb. 4 and join
Patriot
batteries already deployed in the Jewish state.
"It is a training event to sustain interoperability between the U.S. Army
and
the Israeli defense forces," U.S. Army spokesman Maj. Tom Collins said.
In December, Lockheed Martin was awarded a $212 million contract to produce
an
upgraded Patriot.

Subject: WND: NBC's Mitchell Disputes Charge That Bushies Also Trashed White
House



A top Democrat's charge that aides to former president George Bush trashed
the White House before
leaving in 1993, much the same way Clinton administration
staff did last Saturday, was contradicted Friday morning by NBC reporter
Andrea Mitchell.

"I covered the Clintons coming in," Mitchell told radioman Don Imus. "There
was a lot of bitterness
because the hard drives were missing from some of the
computers."

On Thursday, ranking Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat Pat Leahy alleged
that aides to Bush Sr.
"changed a number of the computers around so that it would
take them a long time to have them reconfigured." (

"I think it was wrong when the Bush people did it," added Leahy. "I think
it's wrong when the
Clinton people did it."

But Mitchell went on to dispel any notion that former Bush aides had
deliberately tampered with
White House computers to sabotage the incoming Clinton administration.

"It turned out that the missing hard drives were taken by special
prosecutors who were looking into
a Bush campaign, a Bush White House issue," Mitchell
told Imus.

In contrast, the NBC newswoman said that White House trashing by Clinton
aides was "apparently
widespread."

"You know, pranks and stuff, but also some stuff that was quite vicious,"
Mitchell said.

Clinton aides reportedly cut several computer cables and phone lines,
overturned furniture and
sprayed hallways with graffiti.

Leahy also alleged that aides to Bush Sr. had "laminated" his photo to a
number of White House
chairs.

Re: [CTRL] Jane Fonda canard

2001-01-28 Thread Michael Pugliese

-Caveat Lector-

http://128.242.205.65/inboxer/outrage/fonda.htm
Hanoi'd with Jane

Claim:   After a 1972 trip to North Vietnam, Jane Fonda declared that
American POWs were being treated humanely and later denounced them as liars
for claiming they had been tortured.
Status:   True.

Example:   [Collected on the Internet, 1999]


When I was at Camp Pendleton receiving combat corpsman training, I noticed
that the pickup truck belonging to the gunnery sergeant in charge of our
training was adorned with bumper stickers containing extremely unflattering
remarks about Jane Fonda. I also noticed a few referred to Ms. Fonda  and
Vietnam, but at the time I honestly had no idea why.
Being an E-5 and close to rank to our E-7 gunny, after a training rotation
one afternoon I decided to ask him about those stickers, and what they had
to do with Fonda.

He muttered a few obscenities and proceeded to tell me the story. Fonda, he
said, became a traitor during the Vietnam War -- a war in which "gunny" had
served two tours and for which he had received three Purple Hearts (which is
why he enjoyed training Navy corpsmen to be Marine Corps combat corpsmen --
they'd saved his life a time or two).

The following excerpts are not "gunny's" words, but when received them in an
e-mail recently, it reminded me of his story. And, as ABC's Barbara Walters
prepares to honor the traitorous Jane Fonda during Walters' "100 years of
great women" program soon, I thought the American people needed to hear this
story again. You see, Fonda isn't just exercise videos and the third wheel
in "Nine to Five" (the movie).


* * * * * * *
"There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane Fonda's
participation in what I believe to be blatant treason, is one of them. Part
of my conviction comes from exposure to those who suffered her attentions.

"In 1978, the Commandant of the USAF Survival School, a colonel, was a
former POW in Ho Lo Prison -- the Hanoi Hilton. Dragged from a stinking
cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he was ordered to
describe for a visiting American 'Peace Activist' the 'lenient and humane
treatment' he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged
away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp
Commandant's feet, accidentally pulling the man's shoe off -- which sent
that officer berserk.

"In '78, the AF colonel still suffered from double vision -- permanently
grounding him -- from the Vietnamese officer's frenzied application of a
wooden baton.

"From 1983-85, Col. Larry Carrigan was 347FW/DO (F-4Es). He'd spent 6
[product] years in the Hilton -- the first three of which he was listed as
MIA. His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got
the cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a 'peace delegation'
visit.

"They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that
they still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his
Social Security number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before
Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and
asking little encouraging snippets like, 'Aren't you sorry you bombed
babies?' and, 'Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your
benevolent captors?'"

"Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of
paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and
once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she
turned to the officer in charge ... and handed him the little pile of notes.

"Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was almost
number four.

"For years after their release, a group of determined former POWs, including
Col. Carrigan, tried to bring Ms. Fonda and others up on charges of treason.
I don't know that they used it, but the charge of 'Negligent Homicide due to
Depraved Indifference' would also seem appropriate. Her obvious 'granting of
aid and comfort to the enemy' alone should've been sufficient for the
treason count. However, to date, Jane Fonda has never been formally charged
with anything and continues to enjoy the privileged life of the rich and
famous.

"I, personally, think that this is shame on us, the American Citizenry.

"Part of our shortfall is ignorance: Most don't know such actions ever took
place.

"The only addition I might add to these sentiments is to remember the
satisfaction of relieving myself into the urinal at some air base or another
where 'zaps' of Hanoi Jane's face had been applied."

And there is this account:

"I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured
by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held for
over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in a cage
in Cambodia, and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese
captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a
leprosarium in Ban

March 20, 1996
(revised April 30, 1996)
By: Gerald M. Nagle
Re: Common Law Courts in the United States





The Information Service was asked to provide information on the growth of
the Common Law Court (CLC) movement in the United States. The following is a
discussion of the history, philosophy, practices, activities in the states,
and responses by state officials to this growing movement.

The Common Law Court movement is a grass roots movement comprised of
individuals who seek an alternative venue for gaining redress for grievances
against the federal and state government and against individuals. Adherents
view the CLCs as the only legal court of justice recognized by their
interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and other legal documents such as
the Uniform Commercial Code and the Magna Carta. The Courts are established
on general principles and questionable interpretations of the common law
with the premise that the United States and the state governments have
become tyrannies that usurp constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of
citizens. Central to the philosophy of the CLC movement is the notion that
citizens embracing the common law doctrine as sovereign "free men" are
emancipated from the responsibilities that U. S. citizenship entails.

The primary goal of the CLC movement is "to restore a constitution for the
United States by identifying and removing from office those delinquent
perverts who would undermine the Constitution." Another is to reform federal
court proceedings by arguing and defending themselves without lawyers.

In furthering these goals, proponents of the CLC movement have established
more than 100 common law courts in at least twenty states; the number of
CLCs continues growing rapidly throughout the nation. As the movement
provides an increasingly popular venue for disillusioned and disaffected
citizens to seek justice for the wrongs they feel the government,
businesses, and private citizens have committed, the threat of social and
political upheaval and physical violence must be taken seriously. Already,
scores of judges, prosecutors, and government officials have been harassed
by CLC adherents filing liens and involuntary bankruptcies against them and
have been subjected to threats of physical harm. Many have been sentenced to
death by CLC juries.





HISTORY OF THE CLC MOVEMENT
With roots going back to the posse comitatus movement of the 1970s, the CLC
movement has ties to the militia and "free men" movements, according to
Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The movement seems to have
originated in the heartland of America, where economic hardship in the
agricultural communities has created a fertile ground for anti-government
factions extolling the virtues of a new justice system based on conservative
Christian ideology and white supremacy dogma, known collectively as the
Christian Identity movement. The movement has a strong attraction to
individuals who have run into tax problems or lost their farms and
possessions to loan foreclosures or who simply refuse to recognize the
authority of a judicial system they believe is corrupt and unfair.

The CLC movement is controlled by individuals who, among other motivations,
perceive that women and minorities have gained too much power. Not
surprisingly, the movement has, at the very least, loose ties to white
nationalist and white supremacist movements; many involved in the CLCs hold
active memberships in state militias organized as paramilitary groups
advocating the overthrow of the present government and the establishment of
a new form of government based on the laws of God and their own
interpretation of the Constitution.

While CLC followers tend to limit their activism to campaigns of paper
terrorism and veiled threats, in one instance in early 1994, a court clerk
in California was attacked and severely beaten by a thug hired by a group of
tax evaders with ties to the common law movement after she refused to file
common law liens against court officials. In Ohio, where CLCs are operating
in 66 of the state’s 88 counties, Chief Justice Moyer of the Ohio Supreme
Court has taken a pro-active stand in addressing the movement and has
attempted to educate and warn the state court judges and court officials
about the movement. He went so far as to meet with members of the so-called
"Our One Supreme Court" to learn more about their ideology and goals.





PHILOSOPHY
The philosophical underpinning of the CLC movement begins with the premise
that the American judicial system is a failure, according to Larry Russell,
a CLC activist in Montana, who argues that many laws "don’t serve the

MEDIA ADVISORY:
Southern Partisan: "Setting the Record Straight"
Attorney general nominee praised white supremacist magazine

January 12, 2001

"Your magazine also helps set the record straight. You've got a heritage of
doing that, of defending Southern patriots like [Gen.] Robert E. Lee,
[Gen.]
Stonewall Jackson and [Confederate President] Jefferson Davis.
Traditionalists must do more. I've got to do more. We've all got to stand
up
and speak in this respect, or else we'll be taught that these people were
giving their lives, subscribing their sacred fortunes and their honor to
some perverted agenda."

--John Ashcroft, Southern Partisan magazine interview (Second Quarter/1998)


When Attorney General nominee John Ashcroft praised the neo-Confederate
magazine Southern Partisan, he was endorsing a publication that defends
slavery, white separatism, apartheid and David Duke; a publication that
celebrates the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, while delivering a "mixed
review" of Lincoln's assassin (Southern Partisan, Second Quarter/1990).

Though Southern Partisan is the leading magazine of the neo-Confederate
movement, it really is much more than a "gumbo of racist apologias," as the
New Republic put it last year (1/31/00).  Southern Partisan's bigotry
targets virtually anyone who isn't a straight white male neo-Confederate.
Southern Partisan practices equal-opportunity bigotry. Here's a sample of
opinion from the magazine John Ashcroft says "set[s] the record straight":


On Slavery

"Neither Jesus nor the apostles nor the early church condemned slavery,
despite countless opportunities to do so, and there is no indication that
slavery is contrary to Christian ethics or that any serious theologian
before modern times ever thought it was."
--Samuel Francis, Southern Partisan, Third Quarter/1995

"Slave owners . . . did not have a practice of breaking up slave families.
If anything, they encouraged strong slave families to further the slaves'
peace and happiness."
--First Quarter/1996


On Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln is a "consummate conniver, manipulator and a liar."
--Southern Partisan cited in Legal Times, 2/26/1996

The Spring 1984 issue refers to "the sinister Emancipation Proclamation of
President Lincoln--an invitation to the slaves to rise against their
masters."

On John Wilkes Booth: "His behavior was not only sane, but sensible. His
background, loyalties, beliefs, and experiences had led him to that end."
--Mark Brewer, Second Quarter/1990

For years Southern Partisan has celebrated the murder of Abraham Lincoln by
selling T-shirts with Lincoln's image over the words "sic semper tyrannis"
("thus always to tyrants")-- John Wilkes Booth's cry just after shooting
Lincoln. Timothy McVeigh was wearing this T-shirt when he was arrested for
the Oklahoma City bombing.
--New York Times, 6/3/1997


On the Klan

The Ku Klux Klan's first Grand Wizard, Civil War Gen. Nathan Bedford
Forrest, cited as evidence that "the Confederacy was full of super heroes."
--Fourth Quarter/1996

Praised former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke as "a candidate concerned about
'affirmative' discrimination, welfare profligacy, the taxation holocaust
...
a Populist spokesperson for a recapturing of the American ideal."
--Fourth Quarter/1990


On South African History

"God led [Afrikaners] into the Transvaal, it was with God that they made
their prayerful covenant when they were besieged by bloodthirsty savages on
all sides."
--Fall/1986-Winter/1987


On Feminism

Feminism is a "revolt against god."
--First Quarter/2000

"Feminists, ethnic minorities, sodomites and other 'victims' of majority
culture are demanding special recognition and privileged status."
--Second Quarter/1992


On Homosexuality

The University of Georgia "promotes perversion" by sponsoring programs for
Gay men and Lesbians.  Same-sex marriage is a "vile act of blasphemy."
--First Quarter/1997

"The acts of sodomy are probably the most repulsive desecrations in the
sexual order The terrible swift sword of the dread AIDS disease is
surely what in other ages would be acknowledged a sign of God's wrath. It
is
only the least subtle notice of divine displeasure with the swinishness of
our age."
--Reid Buckley, Winter/1986


On Everyone but "Us"

"Newly arrived in New York City, I puzzled, 'Where are the Americans?' for
I
met only Italians, Jews, Puerto Ricans."
--Patrick Brophy, Second Quarter/1991

 "What Southerner feels at home in Miami these days, a city 56 percent
Spanish-speaking that includes not only Cubans but numbers of
cocaine-pushing trigger-happy Colombians?"
--Allan
