[CTRL] Theosophy, Cabals and the NWO

1999-01-03 Thread Andrew Hennessey

 -Caveat Lector-

here's some things that you may wish to know about the
Theosophical Society.
Members subscribe the three objects.
1. A Universal Brotherhood regardless of race sex creed and caste
2. encourage study of comparitive religion, philosophy and science
3. explore the powers latent in man and nature

However, we have dug up an Inner Cabal called the Esoteric School
which has a remit that has nothing to do do with the 3 objects
that define us as Theosophists - they all sounds Very Extreme.
Here is a collection of quotes from their Handbook that describes
their sick and prejudiced nature ...

the sad thing for us is that all the contributors were former heads
of the International Organisation .. so please don't judge us all .

The Esoteric Section: Morals and Beliefs published circa1960

P97 GS Arundale: the whole object of the Esoteric School is to lead you
from the world of men into the world of the masters, and you must take as
your standard the morality of the masters and not that of the world.

P161 Sri Ram '… the changes they are planning for the world'
[earthquakes eg. California 1907] ...
P151 A Besant 'Then came the need for the great shaking, when elements had
accumulated that were not ready to go further. It had to be a very great
shaking, for the times demanded it, in order that the advance afterwards
might be rapid. This time it came [in 1907], all the turmoil and its
inevitable results in shaking out a large number of good and earnest people
who were nevertheless no good to us at the moment because they could not
adapt themselves to the new life.

P121 Jinarajadasa '.. the Lords of karma may put you in a race that has no
tendency to occultism - you may possibly get a hard brain so that you will
not be able to meditate,

P25 A Besant '.. you have to learn to make the mind sensitive to orders
that come to you from the Higher Mind, and then you gradually get the
feeling that your mind is not you, but something for use … the drudgery has
to be done until the mind becomes automatically obedient.
P37 A Besant '.. I cannot imagine anyone who is a disciple doing anything
but obeying without cavil or delay any order that comes from his superior.'
P35 A Besant '.. the Hierarchy - has no break therin; it is because any
command which is given comes down from grade to grade, and grade to grade
until it reaches the disciple appointed.'
P50 Jinarajadasa 'take the case of the member who comes into this school.
He is presumably sincere, he has read certain rules, and he signs a promise
or a pledge. No-one has compelled him to come in, and he knows exactly to
what he is subscribing. If after subscribing to the rules of the esoteric
school he voluntarily, to suit his own convenience, adopts modifications of
them, it is obvious that he is not playing the game.
P156 N Sri Ram '.. members [of the ES] to act as a definite instrument
through which the hierarchy can act upon the Society..'
P127 HPB The Theosophist Aug 1931. 'The Esoteric Section is thus 'set
apart' for the salvation of the whole Society.

[CTRL] Taking Communism Seriously

1999-01-03 Thread Mike Moxley

 -Caveat Lector-

Nazi's, Socialists, Communists - One and the same
Center for the American Founding January 20, 1998 Balint Vazsonyi


TAKING COMMUNISM SERIOUSLY By Balint Vazsonyi
[First published January 20, 1998 in The Washington Times]

The publication in France of "The Black Book of Communism" (reviewed
in the Washington Times by Ben and Daniel Wattenberg, January 8) is
setting off shock waves in French political circles. But the book's
real impact could be in America. At long last, we will have the tools
to confront "Communism — The Idea."

Three centuries in the making, communism has offered the only
challenge to the principles of the American Founding. It has done so
under a bewildering variety of labels, all based on the identical
doctrine: that human reason is supreme, and that certain people are
capable of comprehending and arranging the world around us; that such
people should guide all others toward an increasingly perfect and just
society in which all desires will have been either eliminated or
satisfied.

Unlike the American quest for the best possible world, communism thus
promises the perfect world. For Lenin, that meant a world where no one
owned anything. For Hitler, one without Jews and ruled by Germans.
Stalin combined it all — no Jews, no ownership, and a world domination
by Russia. Mao hunted down those who possessed Western books.

All for social justice. All "in the best interest of the people."

Eyebrows were raised when my 1995 essay "The Battle for America's
Soul" detailed the parallels between the Third Reich and the Soviet
Union as "The Unlikely Twins." Even more skepticism greeted the
assertion that both grew out of nineteenth-century German philosophy.
It comes as a relief that Tony Judt (New York Times, December 22,
1997) and Alain Besancon (Commentary, January 1998) published the same
conclusions. Having grown up under both tyrannies, there was the
troubling possibility that I had developed obsessions and mistaken
them for reality.

For sure, a lot is asked of native-born Americans with no experience
of foreign occupation or tyranny, to see all this in the same light as
those who lived through it. Even the often-shown horror pictures of
the Nazi concentration camps must appear as something from another
planet. Visual record of the horrible deeds elsewhere is not
accessible, and reports of them have been obscured by the beguiling
language of socialism: "peace, compassion, international brotherhood."

But reality is that even Mussolini was a socialist who, thrown out by
fellow socialists, formed his own socialist party named "fascist"
after a symbol from ancient Rome. Reality is that Hitler's outfit was
called the National Socialist German Workers' Party, with a manifesto
copied from Marx. Reality is that Lenin's Bolshevik Party was based on
German books. Differences merely reflected local conditions. Jiang
Zemin, China's current president speaks of "Socialism with Chinese
characteristics."

Might some people be working on socialism with American
characteristics?

Most Americans prefer the notion that communism went out with the
dissolution of the Soviet Union. But communism, remember, was not born
in the Soviet Union. Why would it have died with the Soviet Union? Is
it likely that the millions who signed on to The Idea just shrugged
their shoulders in 1991 and drank a toast to the rule of law and free
enterprise?

Remember also: socialists, whether they realize it or not, are
committed to building communism because socialism — President Jiang
Zemin reminds us — is but a phase on the road to communism.

Many see a difference between socialists and communists. But Marx, in
the Communist Manifesto of 1848, already differentiates among seven
types of socialism, dismissing all except his own. Since his doctrines
are described as "socialist" and the publication is called "Communist
Manifesto," it is just a game with words. The most successful word
game was devised by Stalin, who renamed Hitler's regime "fascist" to
cover up the fact that it, too, was socialist.

For several decades, we have been fooled about nazism and communism as
"opposites." Nazis were the ultimate evil but communists — Hollywood
assured us during the 50th anniversary of the HUAC hearings — were
good people. The "Hollywood Ten" of 1948, and many others since,
believed that communism was really a good idea with a few "mistakes"
along the way.

By mistake, a hundred million people were killed in various terrible
ways, so the "Black Book of Communism" informs us. That, and the
irrefutable evidence of methods identical to those of Nazi Germany,
should open many eyes at last. There is nothing we can do about the
past. But we can do something for the future. We can change the words
we use.

As Alain Besancon points out in Commentary, the current vocabulary for
our political spectrum is of Soviet origin. It placed socialists and
communists on the left, "capitalists, imperialists" on the right. Once

Boston Has Millennium Clearinghouse

.c The Associated Press

 BOSTON (AP) -- In a small office on the Boston University campus, the
interests of religious zealots, UFO fans, survivalists and computer
aficionados bracing for the Y2K computer bug intersect.

With less than a year to go until the arrival of 2000, the Center for
Millennial Studies has emerged as an academic clearinghouse for people
pondering how society will make the shift to the 21st century. Will Christ
make a second coming? Will good triumph over evil? Will computer glitches shut
down everything from airports to Wall Street?

``We want to be the place where, in the next few years and far beyond, anyone
who wants information about what occurred will look in our computers, at our
files,'' Richard Landes, the center's founder, said in Saturday's editions of
The Boston Globe.

Last week, Landes, 49, a medieval history professor at BU, traveled to
Jerusalem to spend New Year's Eve interviewing a group of fundamentalist Jews
awaiting the arrival of the Messiah. He plans to also be in the holy city on
Dec. 31, 1999, when thousands of pilgrims from all over the world are expected
to come in anticipation of salvation, destruction or the arrival of celestial
beings.

Religious zealots and mainstream believers alike attach great significance to
the arrival of the 21st century, although they disagree on exactly what will
happen.

Much attention has been given to the Y2K problem, the term coined to describe
computers' inability to deal with dates after Dec. 31, 1999. However, Landes
and his colleagues are tracking some more eccentric folks as well.

For example, there is a group in Indonesia hunting out witches to prevent them
from doing any millennial mischief. Another in the American West believe Y2K
is an omen that the Earth is nearing its end, with destruction to come at the
hands of aliens sent by God to punish humanity for ruining the environment.

Most of the center's time is spent on more concrete matters, however.

In particular, Landes says he hopes his research will persuade municipalities,
businesses and individuals to take the Y2K problem even more seriously than
many already do. And he says the center's monitoring of religious
organizations could serve as an early warning system against violence, anti-
Semitism, and other negative responses he expects from people who will
disappointed when their expectations aren't realized.

``Disappointment is the big black box in millennium studies,'' says Landes,
who bases this assessment on his study of previous millennial movements. ``If
you think it's your movement, and God is on your side, the letdown could be
enormous.''

For example, the Rev. Jerry Falwell has produced a video in which he says that
``Y2K may be God's instrument to shake this nation.''

In addition to maintaining a site on the World Wide Web, the center keeps
newspaper clippings, videotapes, pamphlets and other literature produced by
millennium junkies. It also publishes a quarterly newsletter, hosts a monthly
discussion group, runs periodic educational programs and sponsors an annual
conference.

Landes figures his operation will thrive at least two more years, since the
new millennium technically begins Jan. 1, 2001. And the center is already
planning its conference for 2002. The tentative title: ``Disappointed
Millennialism.''

[CTRL] Congressional Record: Leftist Agenda, 1963

1999-01-03 Thread Mike Moxley

 -Caveat Lector-

Consider the record of recent history; how many of these goals listed
below have been achieved, and who provided the primary efforts to
bring them about? If you are honest with yourself then an interesting
truth will be revealed about the Left and their agenda. Clearly NOT
all of these have happened, but this was recorded 34 years ago, and
the trend is evident.

On the Record:

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APPENDIX

January 10, 1963 Page A34-35, entered by Hon. A.S.Herlong, Jr. of
Florida in the House of Representatives.

 I include in the Record, under unanimous consent, the following
"Current ... Goals"...:

Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American
institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for
socialism ... . Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers'
associations.

Put the party line in textbooks.

Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is
rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its
own independent armed forces.

Do away with loyalty oaths.

Capture one or both of the USA political parties.

Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments,
editorial writing, policymaking positions.

Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of
artistic expression.

Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship"
and a violation of free speech and free press.

Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and
obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal,
natural, healthy."

Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social"
religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual
maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools
on the grounds that it violates the [non-Constitutional] principle of
"separation of church and state."

Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate,
old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to
cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish
aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of
American history on the grounds that it was only a minor part of the
"big picture."

Support any socialist movement to give centralized [Federal] control
over any part of culture — education, social agencies, welfare
programs, mental health clinics, etc.

Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

Transfer some of the powers of arrest from police to social agencies.
Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one
but psychiatrists can understand or treat.

Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy
divorce.

Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence
of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of
children to suppressive influences of parents.

Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent
the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals
alike.

Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would
be a demonstration of moral strength.

Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

Giving Credit where it is due.

(end Congressional Record entry)
---

Many proud Leftists might stand in support of most of the above goals
(perhaps somewhat re-worded to be more "politically correct" in modern
terms), and boast that with their guidance the Democratic Party has
become the main champion of such causes, though the Left leaning
members of the Republican Party would insist on some credit as well.

It is not outlandish to suggest that in a more "sanitized" form the
above list remains very consistent with the leadership of the modern
"Left, Liberal, Democratic Party" agenda, and would be a welcome
component in any definition they might offer of themselves — at least
among others of like mind. Perhaps some of the points are still a
little too "enlightened" for the "unwashed masses" to understand, but
they will be dragged along "for their own good."

All in all, the timely accuracy of the above goals list is amazing in
retrospect of how much of it either has been accomplished, or is still
an active goal with ardent supporters working to this day.

The Rest of the Story:

There is a little more information about the above excerpt from the
Congressional Record that helps complete the picture. The whole list
above was part of a remark by A.S. Herlong Jr. as he was praising the

made for what shall or shall not transpire after the great chronological
divide has been crossed, but rather in what people believe about those
claims.

There may be little of consequence in the claim of industrial and
technological collapse on Jan. 1, 2000 but if people believe a catastrophe
will occur, they will by their own volition and credulity, make it come to
pass.

The widespread belief in and resulting panic associated with the Y2K doom
scenario indicates an enormous fatigue. The denizens of the technological
imperium are weary of their gadgets and believe they should be punished
for using them, so they conceive of a world reduced to the Neolithic.

I do not believe that a population of superior people would have any
significant difficulties with ³Y2K² since the history of the West is the
history of surmounting technological difficulties.

I have seen some hint that a technological remedy to the Y2K computer
glitch has been at hand since last summer but is being withheld.
But aside from that, I am fascinating by the emergence of the cult of
limitation which accompanies the mob reaction to Y2K.

Suddenly man is paralyzed by two zeros.

Two zeros in a Unix system will collapse western civilization.

What a complete reversal of the spirit of Œ69, which saw German scientists
Arthur Rudolf and Werner Von Braun place men on the moon.

Yet this new sense of limitation is not all bad. It signifies a profound
anxiety over the direction of our technological imperium as it grows
increasingly alien and artificial, particularly in the pharmaceutical
usurpation of agriculture and the growth of gene-manipulated modern
³foods.²

But these appropriate concerns are being manipulated and diverted into mob
panic. Monsanto and the other corporations who are at present the
equivalent of the city-states of Medici Italy--that is to say, nations
unto themselves on the British East India model--will emerge stronger
after the Y2K millennial panic is in full swing, as will FEMA and the
other departments of the Federal leviathan.

The rulers of the age require chiefly one form of energy from the masses:
fear.
The chief agent of these rulers in our time is the American right wing,
the greatest repository of fear and fear-mongering rumors, which almost
always concern the alleged enormous power of our rulers and the dark fate
they have in store for us.

Being cowans and dupes, these rightists have no ³knowledge of the
equilibrium,² no knowledge that fear is the glue that holds the Evil
Empire together.

More than an adhesive, fear is a magnet, attracting precisely that which
is most feared and bringing it into materialization as reality.
It is for this reason that the Bible states, ³Fear God and you need fear
no other.²

But the American right wing is a cesspool of fear--fear of the U.N., the
FBI, Bill Clinton, the ³Jews,² and the media. They have woven these
disparate forces into an invincible web of power over themselves and
constantly imagine impending doom and gloom.

Without even knowing it, the Right is practicing pagan sorcery by just
such means. I have just described the mechanics of primitive witchcraft,
or perhaps we should call this self-fulfilling prophecy, ³wishcraft.²

It has been used by harlequin hucksters at market stands of the Middle
Ages and in our day by Gallup  pollsters, Madison Avenue advertisers and a
legion of agents planted deep in the right wing as well as in the pulpits
of Judeo-Churchianity, both Catholic and Protestant.

To the historian this ³End Time² situation is so familiar as to be humorous.
On December 31 of the year 999, at the steps of the old basilica of St.
Peter¹s in Rome, a throng of weeping, cowering and trembling peasants
awaited the end of the world. They fought with one another and tore at
each others garments. Some had purchased various amulets and ³relics² at
great cost to ward off the impending ³doom.²

Others had abandoned their homes in the towns and joined strange sects
preaching the end of civilization as it was known.

When Apocalypse 1000 dawned on Jan. 1, it entered history with a whimper,
rather than a bang and certain crypto-political forces centered deep
within the Vatican and the royal houses benefited handsomely.

In 999 Europe experienced war, corruption, immense political instability
and a frenzied vision of Apocalypse hurtling toward the abyss. The masses
were drunk on elemental fears which the chess masters of the early Middle
Ages were able to harness to their own

Hi Andrew..

The Thought Adjusters are actual spirit fragments of the Universal Father.
They come to every child with a normal mind when they are about 6 years old.
The first moral decision that the child makes is the signal for the arrival of
the Adjuster. They are our super-conscious. We are seldom conscious of their
work. Sometimes during a crisis or human calamity, they are able to break
through our animal minds and directly communicate with us. They also work in
our minds during sleep..the dream world is their usually distorted efforts to
communicate with us. As we go through life perfecting our personality through
decisions and experiences, it is the Adjusters that is the guiding influence,
or they try to be. We do not have to listen to their leadings. Human will is
supreme. The Adjuster's goal is to spiritualize our thinking, to make our
minds and personalities more "divine" so that they can better communicate with
us. It is possible for the Adjuster to directly communicate with their human
subjects when the person has reached a certain level of personality
perfection.

Be glad you have an Adjuster Andrew, it is what sets us apart from the animals
of the realm.  It is these spirit fragments of the Paradise Father  that make
it possible for us to have eternal life. If you develop a willingness to
cooperate with these Father Fragments, then after death, on the Mansions of
heaven, you and your Adjuster will fuse, you will become ONE with the Father.
Your eternal survival will have become a fact.

Do not confuse what evil minded men inject into the human brain with what the
Father has given us as His gift. They are in no way the same thing.

Kinda





 Then thar Thought Adjusters and stuff sounds like some think tank
  has laid the ground work for implanting fundamentalist America.
  You were saying the books 30 years old - why its almost credible
  now ...
  The technology now exists to inject radio-active implants in the human
  being - smart chips and such - so perhaps this is a prelude ...
  something to help the Xtians get over the indignity of the forthcoming
  measures  taking it all away from the number of the beast type
  allegations ...

Re: [CTRL] Tobacco capitalists' global offensive.

 -Caveat Lector-

nurev forwarded:

 "The global perspective: a new opium war"
   snip

 While it is the responsibility of each nation to implement
 their own tobacco control measures, governmental and
 non-governmental organisations in the USA have a very
 special responsibility:

The exemplar role - showing that 'It can be done.' The
message from the USA is that smoking rates can be
reduced and that litigation can have a major impact.

Von Mises stated in _Human Action_:
Opium and morphine are certainly dangerous, habit-forming drugs.
But once the principle is admitted that it is the duty of government
to protect the individual from his own foolishness, no serious
objections can be raised against further encroachments.  A good
case could be made out in favor of the prohibition of alcohol and
nicotine.  And why limit the government's benevolent providence to
the protection of the individual's body only?

Nurev opined:
  This slippery slope theory is juvenile and stupid. The government
  might as well repeal all murder laws. Because if the gov. can tell
  you that you are not smart enough to know that you shouldn't kill
  anyone, next they'll tell you you can't have sex with children. Or
  even yell fire in a crowded theater.

MJ:
What you apparently do not understand is that one's free CHOICE to
utilize opium, morphine or tobacco do NOT violate another's 'right'
to his OWN life.  I do realize freedom is a scary concept to many.



Von Mises stated in _Human Action_:
Is not the harm a man can inflict on his mind and soul even more
disastrous than any bodily evils?

Nurev opined:
   No. It's not.

MJ:
Really?  Look at how many idiots run rampant believing THEY know
better than others ... and desire the legalized use of FORCE
(Government) to enact legislation supporting their delusions.

Do tobacco users desire to limit the freedom of others?



Von Mises stated in _Human Action_:
Why not prevent him from reading bad books and seeing
bad plays, from looking at bad paintings and statues and
from hearing bad music?  The mischief done by bad ideologies,
surely, is much more pernicious, both for the individual and
for the whole society, than that done by narcotic drugs.

Nurev opined:
  Maybe bad ideologies like Von Mises' and Ayn Rand's, but otherwise
  you can't compare what junkies do to reading bad books and seeing
  bad plays.

MJ:
What provides *you* with the grand insight as to which ideologies
are *better* than others?  Or that such is incomparable with 'junkies'
(whatever that might entail?


Von Mises stated in _Human Action_:
These fears are not merely imaginary specters terrifying secluded
doctrinaires.  It is a fact that no paternal government, whether
ancient or modern, ever shrank from regimenting its subjects'
minds, beliefs, and opinions.

If one abolishes man's freedom to determine his own
consumption, one takes all freedoms away.

Nurev opined:
   I ask anyone reading this to do so out loud a few times and tell me
   that it isn't an absurd and illogical propagandistic trick to play
   upon the feeble minded.

MJ:
What exactly do you find so troubling?  Do you not believe an individual
is 'intelligent' enough to determine his own vices?


Von Mises stated in _Human Action_:
The naive advocates of government interference with consumption
delude themselves when they neglect what they disdainfully call
the philosophical aspect of the problem.  They unwittingly support
the cause of censorship, inquisition, intolerance, and the
persecution of dissenters.

Nurev opined:
   A study in Libertarianism at it's most adolescent. And at Ludwig's
   age too.   How pathetic.

MJ:
Actually it is PURE liberalism -- in it's true state.

Why the fear of freedom and liberty?

  Commentary: What a Prison Sentence Really Means

  Jeff Goodman

  When I was sent to prison, the judge mentioned just the length of my
  sentence.  Had he included the entire scope of my punishment, he may
  have
  said it differently:

  "Mr. Goodman, I sentence you to take responsibility for every social ill
  --
  past, present and future.  Each time America runs out of foreign
  enemies,
  it apparently turns on itself to find more.  By way of media, politics
  and
  indifference, people who break the law, good law or bad, become those
  enemies and are then responsible for every social malady.  Whether this
  is
  logical, you
  are the culprit.

  "You are sentenced to live in a maladaptive, alien environment that
  defies
  description.  You'll be stripped of your work skills, your self-worth
  and
  your humanity while at the same time face the daily threat of assault,
  rape, false accusations and unjustified punishment.  You will live like
  this for seven years.  If you manage to reenter society as a productive
  person, some will say prison was just what you needed.  If not, others
  will
  say, 'I told you so.'

  "Because of counterproductive prison policies, you are sentenced to live
  in
  a world of cruelty and indifference that engenders the very behavior it
  purports to alleviate.  If you share this with those outside of the
  prison
  system, you will be called a liar; most won't believe that millions are
  spent on the proliferation of facilities that perpetuate harm, not
  repair it.

  "You are sentenced to consume $150,000 in taxpayer dollars for your
  prison
  stay.  While lawmakers cite the ever-growing cost of incarceration as a
  public necessity, you will learn that 10 percent of that amount goes
  towards your daily needs, while the other 90 percent pays for a bloated
  prison bureaucracy immune from any cost-benefit analysis.  These tax
  dollars will be siphoned from
  school programs, child care and job training, all of which do make our
  communities healthy and safe and save millions in the process.  Despite
  the
  media frenzy that portrays society as seething with crime, you'll learn
  that relatively few prisoners represent a danger to our communities;
  we're
  mad at most felons, not scared of them.  So you'll wonder why the
  majority of
  prisoners aren't on home arrest, a logical move that would save millions
  of
  dollars and obviate the need for more prisons.

  "Practical education programs, universally proven to drastically reduce
  recidivism, will be almost nonexistent.  In fact, you will be
  disciplined
  for possessing more than 10 books.  Therefore, you will live in an
  environment where recidivism it tacitly encouraged, a fact not lost on
  those who want to run prisons for profit.

  "It is true that there are some counseling programs in prison and some
  people will benefit from them.  Yet, if you attempt to describe the
  futility of a therapeutic environment placed within an atmosphere
  replete
  with dehumanizing policies, you will be told that your intentions are
  distorted and without merit.

  "You are sentenced to bear the wrath of a misinformed society.  While
  you're experiencing everything I just said, you will be told how easy
  you
  have it.  The media will find your Christmas meal more newsworthy than
  the
  damage caused by lawmakers who jostle for the next 'get tough' policy at
  the expense of society's well-being.  Your privilege to have this
  once-a-year meal will be presented as so outrageous, a debate will ensue
  over which 'luxury' to take away next.  Politicians will focus on
  violent
  sociopaths and pronounce their horrific crimes as a yardstick to measure
  the innate danger and incorrigibility of all law-breakers, including
  you.

  "Finally, as perhaps the most perverse component of your sentence, I
  hereby

  ALERT!

  CIA-Drug Report Now A Part of the Impeachment Battle

  Michael Ruppert Receiving Death Threats

  There is now no doubt that Volume II of the CIA Inspector General's
  investigation of Contra Drug trafficking is a part of the impeachment
  calculus. Various sources are reporting on the net that Bill Clinton is
  threatening to bring down the entire government with Volume II hearings
  which are supposed to occur within the next three weeks. As described in
  the
  October and November issues of my newsletter From The Wilderness,
  ( http://www.copvcia.com ) Volume II, released October 8th is a virtual
  confession by the CIA that it criminally conspired, with premeditation,
  to
  traffic in cocaine during the Contra war.

  Long time Clinton critic, Larry Nichols, released a newsletter yesterday
  in
  which he acknowledged this scenario and attempted to cut the issue off
  from
  reaching former president George Bush. In that newsletter he stated that
  although Oliver North and John Poindexter (both implicated by Vol. II)
  were
  guilty of dealing drugs, they were, "rogue elements who were not a part
  of
  the 'racquet club'." This is a patently false and absurd statement
  intended
  to separate George Bush (hence his sons) from guilt in CIA's fifty years
  of
  drug dealing. Nichols is reportedly aligned politically with Pat
  Robertson
  and Jerry Falwell who are both supporting George W. Bush for president
  in
  the year 2000.

  Evidence linking George Bush, the National Security Council and the
  White
  House directly to Contra era drug trafficking is abundant and
  irrefutable.
  It includes (just to list a few items):

  I.   Executive Order 12333 and National Security Decision Directives 23
  which
  placed Bush directly in control of all national security operations
  including drug interdiction and the contra war.
  II.  Direct links to George Bush's staff arising from investigations into
  Barry Seal.
  III. The investigation by former Federal Public defender John Mattes
  which
  located the phone number of Bush aide Col. Menarchik in the possession
  of an
  alleged gun runner connected to drugs.
  IV.  Gary Webb's magnificent book, Dark Alliance.
  V.   Terry Reed's book Compromised and his witness statements to the
  effect
  that Bill Casey (i.e. George Bush) had anointed Clinton to become
  president
  if he behaved himself.
  VI.  The written testimony of Celerino Castillo (DEA retired)
  www.copvcia.com
  in which Cele was told by U.S. Ambassador Edwin Corr that CIA drug
  dealing
  out of Ilopango airfield in El Salvador was a "White House operation."
  VII. The written testimony of Michael C. Ruppert www.copvcia.com  in
  which I
  was told by a former NSC staffer that decisions to deal drugs were made
  at
  the NSC (White House) level.
  VIII.The investigation of Col. Albert Vincent Carone www.copvcia.com
  which
  shows that Oliver North's and George Bush's chief bagman had direct
  links to
  both Geo. Bush and Bill Casey.
  IX.  The written record of Senator John Kerrey's investigation into CIA
  drug
  trafficking of eleven years ago which produced mountains of evidence
  linking
  directly to Donald P. Gregg, Geo, Bush's national security adviser.

  Even the CIA report itself describes special briefings for then Vice
  President Bush which indicate his culpability.
  CIA drug dealing is not an isolated or rogue event. In the U.S. v. Roy

1999-01-03 Thread Agent Smiley






The following is a summary of two comprehensive MOSOP documents setting
out the current position with respect to Ogoni, other Niger Delta
communities, the Nigerian state and Shell:

 `A positive peace: MOSOP's vision of grass-roots justice in Ogoni and
the Niger Delta'

and

`Ogoni  Shell: why Shell must Clean Up by 2000 or Clear Out'

 will both be web published on Ogoni Day, January 4th 1999.



"Negative peace is the absence of tension... positive peace is the
presence of justice" - Dr Martin Luther King Jnr, letter from Birmingham
jail, 1963.

"When I travel outside Nigeria people often ask me how far away Ogoni
is.  I tell them it's as far as the nearest Shell service station.  In a
century of oil exploration the developed North of the planet has founded
its way of life on petroleum, without thinking about the impact of this
trade on societies in oil-producing, under-developed regions of the
South. Indigenous communities like the peoples of the Niger Delta have
been the worst affected. When Shell came to Ogoni in 1958 we were
promised peace and prosperity.  In return for $30 billion worth of oil,
successive Nigerian governments and Shell have delivered poverty and
pollution. When we stood up to demand our human rights to a clean
environment and to choose the use of our land and its resources, we were
murdered in our thousands.  The petrol
in the tank of your car has been paid for with our blood" - Ledum Mitee,
MOSOP Acting President, December 1998.

1. Niger Delta in crisis

Although the human rights crisis in Ogoni has improved significantly in
recent months, violence has spread across other oil-producing areas in
the rest of the Niger Delta and Nigeria's oil-producing southwest coast
since mid-September.  According to Nigerian media reports this unrest
has left 100s dead and has forced ten of thousands of people to flee
from ethic disturbances, mostly caused by disputes over land and oil
rights. According to community leaders this unrest is a direct result of
the growing poverty in the Delta, caused by the lack of economic and
social development and the
unjust allocation of oil revenues.

Armed protestors from other - non-Ogoni - Niger Delta communities
hijacked oilrigs and flow stations in October 1998. Shell and other
foreign oil companies operating or prospecting in Nigeria were forced to
cut around one quarter of the country's oil exports in response to the
crisis.  A number of foreign oil workers kidnapped by armed Delta youths
were released in late November [1].

A fire caused by an oil spill at Jesse, Delta State on October 18th 1998
has left at least 1000 dead.  According to media reports most of the
victims died as they tried to salvage crude oil from a burst pipe. The
lack of basic medical provision for oil-producing communities, and a
comment to journalists by military Head of State General Abubakar -
visiting the scene - that victims would not receive compensation because
they were `saboteurs' seem to have caused the death toll to rise.

Burns victims feared arrest if they reported to international relief
agency hospitals set up to cope with the emergency.

In response to the deepening crisis in the Delta, General Abubakar has
announced a development package, including a major road building program
[2].  Many Delta community leaders point out that new roads will be of
primary benefit to oil companies.  What oil-producing communities need
are basic health and educational provision, and investment in locally
based economic development, Delta leaders say.  General Abubakar has
also re-instituted the discredited development board (OMPADEC), shut
down by the previous military administration following allegations of
serious corruption and mismanagement. Communities in the Niger Delta
have dismissed the re-institution of OMPADEC as an inadequate stopgap
measure.

Although General Abubakar has committed himself to transition to
democratic civilian rule and `national reconciliation' a statement that
he: `[hopes] the oil-producing areas will realise the enormity of the
problems of running a country as big as Nigeria and stop vandalising or
sabotaging the operations of oil companies' has given rise to serious
doubts that the current transition to democracy process will benefit
minorities in oil-producing regions [3].

the sustainability of democratic reform in Nigeria" - Ledum Mitee, MOSOP

 From GN's site:

 Comment: People reject bad news. They assume
that bad events are abnormal and good events are normal. They think they
 deserve good news. So, they reject bad news.
They put it out of their minds. They get angry at anyone who sells warnings
of
 bad times ahead. As the prime law of infomercials
says: "You can't sell prevention. You can only sell cures."

 For three decades, 1965 to 1995, senior men
in the IT deparments feared telling senior management that a disaster was
 coming in 2000. They knew what the reactions
would be. "That's crazy." "We'll wait until 1998 to fix it." "You're fired."

 A few companies got started in 1995. Citibank
did. Chase Manhattan Bank did. Neither is compliant today. 1995 was too
late.

 If it was too late for the banking system,
it's too late for everything else.

 If the phone companies go down, the banks go
down, and so do the power companies. The phone companies are far behind
 the banks, according to this report.

 Most companies have deferrred implementing
a multimillion dollar repair.

 Now, having waited, it's too late. Corporate
officers are now admitting that some processes won't be compliant. Which
ones,
 they refuse to say. Later this year, insider
selling of corporate shares will begin. That will be the sign that the
end of an era is
 upon us.

 You have a head start. Don't lose it. It's
almost gone.

 The new millennium and its much-anticipated
computer bug is still a year away but many U.S. companies are already
 throwing in the towel.

 They admit they won't be ready.

 Companies are beginning to make such frank
statements on Y2K risks to cover themselves against possible securities
litigation,
 analysts said. The statements also provide
ammunition for their own suits.

 Companies such as Chevron Corp. and ATT
Corp. say their systems may be vulnerable to significant failures as they
 grapple with the Year 2000 date change. McDonald's
Corp. and DuPont Co. are more confident their machines can handle the
 date change. They are less sure about those
of suppliers and local governments. . . .

 "The fundamental cost of Y2K is the risk of
business interruption,'' said Jeff Ray, a vice president at Compuware Corp.,
a
 leading software testing company.

 Companies have still not done most of the tedious
and costly work to fix Year 2000 computer bugs.

 "It appears that over half the work will be
crammed into 1999,'' said Steven Hock, chief executive of research company
 Triaxsys Research LLC. . . .

 As companies realize they and their partners
may not achieve full compliance, they are planning back-up systems and
looking
 for alternate vendors. . . .

 The technologically complex telecoms sector
ranks dead last among all other industries in progress toward completion
of Y2K
 projects, according to Triaxsys. Also behind
are the utilities industry and the energy sector. . . .

 Industries leading the race are banking, securities
and insurance, all of which began looking at Y2K up to 10 years ago largely
 because of regulatory requirements. Most telecom
companies only began looking at the issue two to three years ago. . . .

 Link: http://www.foxmarketwire.com/wires/0102/f_rt_0102_2.sml

 

 From the above article , you can see that the
work is not getting done, it has not been done and it will not be done,
in time.

 However, we have relative newcomers like Preston
Crawford and Reg Smith and ZB who have read, oh, I'd say about one
 one thousandth as much about Y2K as some of
us. Are they entitled to their opinions, yes. We are not discussing that
 'entitlement'. We are discussing the veracity
of the opinions. They can not discuss the issues, because the conclusion
is bad
 news. In their neanderthal minds they say,
"Good news GOOD, Bad news, BAD. Bad things not happen. This America. Bad
 things not happen in America. People who say
bad things happen, "BAD" people!"

 I understand their 'anger and their hatred
and their intolerance' of the truth.

 More than a year and a half ago, I said that
they were not moving fast enough. They said they were 'serious'. Yet the
bulk of
 the Fortune 500 had not even finished assesments
until THIS year. The federal government had a budget of $1 billion dollars.
 I laughed at that. Yet these were seasoned
proffessionals. EXPERIENCED and COMPETENT professionals. They budgeted
 $1 billion for 75,000 systems. Do the math.

[CTRL] Kontrol

1999-01-03 Thread Agent Smiley




There is a growing interest in new techniques of mind
control. It has been suggested that Sirhan Sirhan was the
subject of post hypnotic suggestion as he sat shaking in the
kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles while an as
yet unidentified woman held him and whispered in his ear. It
has been alleged that behavior modification techniques are
used on trouble prisoners and inmates, often without their
consent. Dr Delgado, who stopped a charging bull by remote
control of electrodes in the bull's brain, has left the US
recently to pursue his subjects in Spain. Brainwashing,
Psychotropic drugs, lobotomy and other more subtle forms of
psychosurgery; the technocratic control apparatus of the
United States has at its fingertips new techniques which if
fully exploited could make Orwell's 1984 seem like a
benevolent utopia. But words are still the principal
instruments of control. Suggestions are words. Persuasions
are words. Orders are words. No control machine so far
devised can operate without words, and any control machine
which attempts to do so relying entirely on external force
or entirely on physical control of the mind will soon
find/encounter the limits of control.

A basic impasse of all control machines is this; Control
need time in which to excercise control. Because control
also needs opposition or acquiescence; otherwise control
somehow, as by implanting electrodes in the brain, then my
subject is little more than a tape recorder, a camera, a
robot. You don't control a tape recorder you use it.
Consider the distinction, and the impasse implicit here. All
control systems try to make control as tight as possible,
but at the same time, if they succeeded completely, there
would be nothing to control. Suppose for example a control
system installed electrodes in the brain of all prospective
workers at birth. Control is now complete. Even the thought
of rebellion is neurologically impossible. No police force
is necessary. No psychological control is necessary, other
than pressing buttons to achieve certain activations and
operations. The controllers could turn on the machine, and
the workers would carry out their tasks, at least they might
think so. However, they have ceased to control the workers,
since the workers have become machine like tape recorders.

When there is no more opposition, control becomes a
meaningless proposition. It is highly questionable whether a
human organism could survive complete control. There would
be nothing there No persons there. Life is will, motivation
and the workers would no longer be alive, perhaps literally.
The concept of suggestion as a control technique presupposes
that control is partial and not complete. You do not have to
give suggestions to your tape recorder, nor subject it to
pain, coercion or persuasion.

The Mayan control system, where the priest kept the all
important Books of the seasons and Gods, the Calender, was
predicated on the illiteracy of the workers. Modern control
systems are predicated on universal literacy since they
operate through the mass media, a very two edged control
instrument, as Watergate has shown. Control systems are
vulnerable, and the news media are by their nature
uncontrollable, at least in Western Society. The alternative
press is news, and alternative society is news, and as such,
both are taken up by the mass media. The monopoly that
Hearst and Luce once excercised is breaking down. In fact,
the more completely hermetic and seemingly successful a
control system is, the more vulnerable it becomes. A
weakness inherent in the Mayan system was that they didn't
need an army to control their workers, and therefore did not
have an army when they needed one to repel invaders. It is a
rule of social structures that anything that is not needed
will atrophy and become inoperative over a period of time.
Cut off the war game, and remember the Mayans had no
neighbours to quarrel with, they lose their ability to
fight.

In the Mayan Caper I suggested that such a hermetic control
system could be completely disoriented and shattered by even
one person who tampered with the control calendar on which
the control system depended more and more heavily as the
actual means of force withered away. Consider a control
situation: ten people in a life boat. Two armed self
appointed leaders force the other eight to do the rowing
while they dispose of the food and water, keeping of it for
themselves and doling out only enough to keep the other
eight rowing. The two leaders now need to exercise control
to maintain an advantageous position which they could not
hold without it. Here the method of control is force, the
possession of guns. Decontrol would be accomplished by
overpoewring the leaders and taking their guns. This
effected, it would be advantageous to kill them at once. So
once embarked on a policy of control, the leaders must
continue the policy as a matter of self preservation. Who,
then needs to control others??? Those who protect by

Thanks to Marie and Pat for passing this along to me.  Chilling especially

 Death by Clinton - William Colby's Mysterious Death - The Fear that
Pervades Washington - by Christopher Ruddy

 WASHINGTON---It was March of 1996. My cell phone rang. My literary agent
was on the line.  "Cross Colby off the list. He's dead." "Colby is dead," I
said with some shock. "Yes, I just heard on the radio he died in a car crash,"
my agent  said.

 I did not know former CIA Director Bill Colby, nor did my agent. But we
both knew James Dale Davidson, editor of the investment newsletter Strategic
Investment. Davidson was not only an associate of Colby's, but Colby had
worked for Davidson as a contributing editor for his newsletter.

 At the time of my agent's call, he was attempting to find a publisher for
my book on the Vince Foster case. We still had no publisher, and my agent had
floated the idea of William Colby writing the proposed book's foreword. This
would serve several purposes. Colby, as a former CIA chief, would give the
book some credibility with a publisher.

 Colby had been a key figure in the Watergate scandal after he refused to
allow the CIA to block the FBI probe on the Watergate burglary.
Colby could not be accused of being part of a right-wing conspiracy. After
leaving the CIA, he argued for unilateral disarmament and became a fixture at
the left-wing Institute for Policy Studies.

 My agent thought Colby might be open to the idea. After all, he worked
for Davidson and Davidson openly claimed Foster was murdered, pointing the
finger at the Clinton White House.

 But now the idea of a Colby foreword seemed lost. I called Davidson and
asked him if he had heard the news about Colby. His voice became strained. He
sounded stunned when I told him.

 But, of course, Colby had not died that March. He died a month later. My
agent was wrong. To this day, he swears he heard something, and to this day,
we laugh about the Jungian wrinkle in time. Davidson was peeved at me for the
false report, as he well should have been.

 On April 29, 1996, the wires flashed with hot news: Former CIA Director
William Colby had disappeared from his country home on the Wicomico River in
Maryland. Authorities suspected he died in a canoeing accident, as his
waterlogged canoe was found on the shore near his home.

 A week later, his body surfaced in the marsh near his home. After a
perfunctory autopsy, local police authorities closed the case as an accident.

 Still, there were many reasons to suspect foul play. These suspicions
began as soon as the initial press reports came out. As expected, the
Associated Press ran the first wire story. Colby was missing and presumed
drowned" the AP reported. The wire story said he died as the result of "an
apparent boating accident."

 Quoting a source close to Mrs. Colby, who was in Texas at the time her
husband disappeared, the AP stated Colby had spoke via phone with his wife on
the day he disappeared. He told her he was not feeling well, "but was going
canoeing anyway."

 This would be an important clue pointing to an accidental death, had it
been true. But someone fabricated this story out of whole cloth. A week later,
Colby's wife rebutted the AP report, telling the Washington Times her husband
was well, and made no mention of canoeing.

 This initial, false report that relieved obvious suspicion was, for me, a
red flag of a cover-up. Interesting too, were the obituaries being written.

appealing because they at least have the good sense to know that locking up
huge numbers of citizens for victimless crimes and squandering billion of

heard much of what was said at their convention in 1996 and it became plain
that the party leaders are mostly interested in avoiding taxes.  They either
believe that it is possible to have a society worth living in without expenses
or their top priority is "let George pay for it" where George is you or me.
This gives them plenty in common with those for whom the Republicans carry
water despite the hypocritical moralizing by the conservatives.

At this point i am not sufficiently familiar with the issue of going back to
count the ballot the old fashioned way.  Doubtlessly, there are certain
efficiencies in automated vote counts for both time and money.  There were
charges of vote fraud when the ballots were still hand counted.  There are
questions here of the impact on the growing use of referendums that going back
would have, i.e. would they still be practicable?  In short, i must weasel out
here and not give the court room lawyers preferred answer of yes or no.

1999: The Year of Surprises

by Zola


Already 1999 is shaping up to be even more interesting than 1998. This,
of course, befits a year which many newspapers have proclaimed as the
"last year of the millennium." Now I hate to disappoint them, but next
year, the year 2000, is the last year of the current century--where do
you think the 20 comes from in "the Twentieth Century"?--as well as the
last year of the millennium. The 21st Century, and the new millennium,
begins on Jan. 1, 2001, two years from now. But never mind. The world is
planning to have the 21st Century birthday party less than a year hence
anyway, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop the process. The
revelries of the party-goers will be diminished only by the caravans
headed for the hills to escape the perceived social consequences of the
Y2K bug.

We begin the year with the US President impeached and awaiting trial in
the Senate, with the Middle East political order unraveling, with Japan
still in the decade-long economic dumper, with the financial system of
China deteriorating so rapidly that the bureau of statistics can't fudge
the numbers fast enough, with India and Pakistan in possession of nukes
as they face each other over Kashmir, with Russia gang-banged by
Communists, nationalists, and kleptocrats, and with the U.S. stock
market pumped full of hot air and ready to circumnavigate the globe.

Then there is the euro, the renamed ECU (European Currency Unit), the
new money of the European Community, with its own central bank--the
European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany. The national currencies of
the eleven nations concerned are now just pieces of the euro, in much
the same way that dimes and quarters and two-dollar bills are pieces of
the dollar. Banking accounts, stock trades, and grocery shopping will
all be denominated in the euro, although euro cash and coins won't be
available until the Year 2002. The euro is just another fiat currency,
of course, but it will give the dollar some competition. To the extent
that world finance and trade comes to be denominated in the euro instead
of the dollar, it will reduce the transactions demand for the dollar,
and the Federal Reserve will lose some of its seigniorage. That's fine
with us: the more constraints on the Fed the better.

Clinton and his wife Hillary, the Vogue model, spent the last days of
1998 at the Renaissance Weekend in Hilton Head, S.C., where he spent a
lot of time walking along the beach with his dog Buddy, if the pictures
are to be believed. I believe them as much as I believe any other
Clinton photo op. Bill and Hillary managed a midnight kiss to herald the
New Year, the reports said. Meanwhile the tabloids were reporting the
story behind the black eye Hillary gave Bill (the Secret Service had to
restrain her, the story goes), a shiner we all clearly saw on television
from the Rose Garden when Clinton made his post-impeachment appearance.

Not content to only play with the dogs, Clinton announced a new
crackdown on "deadbeat" parents. First he noted that due to his efforts,
child support collections under his Administration had increased from $8
billion in 1992 to $14.4 billion in 1998. Of this amount, $1.1 billion
came through the seizure of income tax refunds. This was made possible
through a massive data base maintained by Health and Human Services.
States report to HHS, who then collect or seize the tax funds, and
perhaps also report the seizure to credit agencies. The next step in
Clinton's Big Brother plan is to make it a federal crime to move to
another state or the District of Columbia if child support is owed.
(After all, putting a deadbeat parent into an adult- support prison
solves the problem for sure.)

The irony in all this, of course, is the new Clinton scandal de jour,
which concerns the paternity of teenage Danny Williams. Danny's mother
says that Clinton paid her for sex, and she passed a lie detector test
to that effect. No problem here: for once Clinton paid the bill instead
of shoplifting whatever appealed to him. But Danny's mother also says
Danny is Clinton's son, and The Star is doing a DNA check. (It was The
Star, you recall, who revealed to us Dick Morris' gourmet taste in
toes.) Of course, Danny Williams and the question of his paternity has
been around for some time, and the Arkansas State Police reacted to the
publicity by killing Danny's dog. This is consistent with the Clinton
modus operandi, which included the killing of Kathleen Willey's cat and
the hammering of nails into the tire of her car. This is also the same
presidential schmuck who talks about "stopping the politics of personal
destruction." He wants others to stop, so that he can have the field all
to himself.

A Plebeian President

by Jack Ryan


The malaise of the American public regarding Bill Clinton's crimes is
indeed troubling, but not totally unprecedented. History, as we know,
has a way of rearing its ugly head to bite us all in the arse if we fail
to heed its lessons. So it is with a jaundiced eye on the past that many
look at the present, asking ourselves, "When will we ever learn?".
Judging by the latest Clinton approval numbers, our sun may be a bloated
red giant before we deem to learn from history by not repeating it.
Mainly, that the rule of law supplants the rule of man.

Indeed, history is replete with petty dictators and power-hungry tyrants
who learned their lessons the hard way.

Mr. Clinton, who sees his runaway popularity as a shield against his
crimes, has taken on the aura not of a president, but of a ruler. A
king. A man both above the law and, yea, above the Constitution itself.
Like the competitive high jumper, each time the legal bar is raised, Mr.
Clinton is there with another leap to defeat it. As of late, the
constitution has become nothing more than a door mat at the entrance to
the Oval Office. It appears as if the people, their heads buried in the
sands of prosperity, could care less. The trains are on time, 401k's are
growing like lilies in the field and--aside from occasionally pumping a
billion dollars worth of cruise missiles into aspirin factories and
Bedouin tents--the US is at peace.

The American people, fat, intellectually lazy and over- satiated on the
fruits of affluence, see no barbarians at their gates, so why rock the
ship of state? The problem here is that the barbarians were never at the
gates. They reside within 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and at every address
from New York to Anchorage. They are us.

Some on the right side of the aisle have cited the people's ambivalence
as a major source of frustration. Some have even likened today's
atmosphere to that of the German people's lassitude when Adolph Hitler
made his play for the German chancellorship. That is a mistake, for many
reasons that I won't touch on here. Mr. Clinton doesn't appear ready to
unload a blitzkrieg on Quebec, or dive-bomb Mexico into submission.
Suffice it to say that while Mr. Clinton is in no way comparable to
Hilter in deed or beliefs, that in itself does not remove him from
historical comparisons.

Several months ago, whilst perusing the Free Republic web site, I read
an interesting observation. (Free Republic is a conservative forum
universally united in seeing to it that Bill Clinton is tarred,
feathered, and if humanly possible, imprisoned in a jail cell with some
300-pound homosexual named Bruno). The post that interested me detailed
Mr. Clinton's excessive use of the Executive Order function--that
Clinton saw himself more a king than a constitutionally-elected head of
state. Some even compared him to modern-day Julius Caesar, ruling his
republic from on high.

Like Caesar, William Jefferson Clinton is a charismatic, witty,
calculating, and highly intelligent politician. Indeed, his savvy in the
political arena has hitherto been unmatched in American politics. For
reasons we may never know, Mr. Clinton has the uncanny ability to arouse
undying loyalty and admiration from his followers, even the most tepid
among them. Conversely, he is universally despised by those on the other
side of the spectrum. With few exceptions, never has one politician
managed to so thoroughly polarize two political affiliations.

I found the Roman comparison interesting only in that the comparison of
Clinton to Gaius Julius Caesar is akin to comparing apples to orange
pits. In fact, contrasting Caesar's greatness to the self-absorbed,
prepubescent, 50-something perjurer in the White House, only manages to
further spotlight Bill Clinton's historical insignificance. Simply put,
Bill Clinton would not have been worthy of washing Caesar's toga.

Certainly there are historians whom would argue that Caesar was not
above political mischief, that he was not the least bit hesitant to
murder or torture his political enemies for political gain. That said,
when one makes historical comparisons, one must frame them within the
confines of what was acceptable behavior at the time. Caesar, for all
his shrewdness, for all his political brilliance, for all his tremendous
ego was no better or worse than any other politician of his time. Never
one to look a gifthorse in the mouth, Caesar truly cared about the
republic and the ordinary denizens of Rome--the plebes.

Clinton, on the other hand, sees his rise to power as a gift from
himself and his power-mad overseer, Hillary Rodham. Although only a
lowly plebe from the backwaters of Arkansas, Mr. Clinton dragged his
fellow

Going Postal--Again!

by Don L. Tiggre


On January 10, 1999, the United States Postal Service will do it again:
torque up the prices on their most-heavily-relied-upon services. The
press release from the post office gives the impression the USPS bends
over backwards to show how reasonable and necessary the increases are,
but ignores the fact that if there ever had been a reasonable claim
offered why governments should run postal services, that claim's last
remnant of credibility died with the advent of electronic data
transmission.

The post office's press release says:


"First Class letters weighing one ounce will go up one penny, to 33
cents, while postage for the second ounce will go down a penny to 22
cents, keeping the price of a two-ounce letter at 55 cents. The cost of
mailing a three-ounce letter will actually be reduced a penny, to 77
cents from 78."

But the First Class one-ounce letter is the USPS cash cow, so the penny
reduction in three-ounce letter postage is little more than throwing the
dog a bone, after all the meat has been chewed off. The rate for the
popular two-pound Priority Mail envelope will increase 20 cents to $3.20
and the half-pound Express Mail overnight delivery rate will go up a
dollar, to $11.75.

The release adds:


"The average increase across all classes of mail is 2.9 percent-the
lowest rate increase ever."

Perhaps so, but it's still an increase, and the government does not
allow competition to determine if the prices are reasonable in the first
place, let alone whether or not they need to increase.

Consider the tone of the excuse to post office offers for jacking up its
prices:


"The new rates also include new product features, such as bulk insurance
and package discounts. Another feature, delivery confirmation for
Priority Mail and Parcel Post shipments, will be available in late
spring 1999.. The rate increase is just enough to fund further Postal
Service investments in buildings, vehicles, and equipment and to ensure
that mail service continues to improve."

Clearly sensitive to angry reactions among postal patrons, the post
office tells us that the money will be used to pay for expenditures
which competitive businesses bear all the time--just to stay in the
market place. Faced with stiff competition, many businesses make such
improvements in plant, equipment, and increased services, while reducing
 prices.

Besides, if, as they claim, they really need cash to cover operating
expenses, why don't they just use the funds currently spent on expensive
advertisements like their Olympic sponsorships? They are a monopoly
 providing a service that is in great demand; they'll get their business
without wasting money on advertising.

The inescapable truth for post office officials in this country, as well
as others, is that as long as they enjoy a government-enforced monopoly,
there is no way to evaluate their services. There is no way to know if
the prices are fair, since there is no freedom for the prices to
fluctuate in a competitive market place. There is no way to know--but
every reason to doubt--whether price increases are actually necessary to
cover the costs of doing business, because coercively enforced
monopolies are essentially not businesses.

So, as we start a new year and approach a new millennium, wading deeper
into the Information Age, it is time to ask again why postal monopolies
still exist.

Morally, of course, nothing has changed since Lysander Spooner's day.
The existence of any state-run enterprise, let alone a state-run
monopoly, does violence to honest business people and abuses the
supposedly sanctioned powers of just government.

That aside, the practical objections to postal monopolies are as valid
as ever.

Here in the U.S., the postal service claims to be more business-like.
They describe themselves as a "quasi-governmental" agency and say they
are nothing like the old post office which received direct government
subsidies, pre-1970. They say that since they have to make all their
money serving the people who step up to the counter or leave mail in a
mail box, they are much more customer-oriented. It says so, right there
in their manuals.

However, as anyone who lives in the U.S. can testify, going to the post
office is anything but like going to a real business. The appearance of
mission statements, five-minute guarantees and rhetoric about heeding
three "voices" (the customer's, the employee's, and that of the
business) has not really made the USPS customer- oriented.

For example, a recently mailed book package was returned tattered and
torn. The book was intact, so the customer didn't complain. Then a
second book was returned, and the package looked like it had been
through a war

What It Means To Be a Libertarian

a book review by Sunni Maravillosa


I read Charles Murray's latest book, What it Means to be a Libertarian:
A Personal Interpretation, expecting an academic treatment of
libertarianism. He is, after all, co- author (with Richard Herrnstein)
of The Bell Curve, a controversial examination of intelligence and its
role in shaping American society. I expected an analysis and history of
differing views of the freedom philosophy, with some personal
observations thrown in, and all presented in dry, formal tones.

I sure didn't get what I expected!

What it Means to be a Libertarian: A Personal Interpretation focuses
squarely on Murray's views of libertarianism, and his vision of a
workable libertarian society. Murray's primary target is federal
government--he advocates eliminating or reducing government intervention
in agriculture, energy, housing, transportation, commerce, and
communications, along with more general suggestions for getting the
government out of people's private lives. However, Murray doesn't call
for total elimination of the federal government--as some libertarians
do--and seems to think that state and local governments are somehow
necessarily less intrusive than the bureaucrats in Washington, DC. The
book is very light on analysis, and very heavy on Charles Murray's
opinions, ideas, and conclusions.

The tone of What it Means to be a Libertarian: A Personal Interpretation
 was also a pleasant deviation from the expected. It's a very readable
book, with very little jargon. It does not present a specific, detailed
plan of implementation; Murray blends ideas and suggestions for action
nicely into a concise package. In the introduction, Murray states that
his purpose is to explain how libertarians "can believe that the less
government, the better", along with other "how" and "why" questions that
arise. He does so quite well, and in a manner that will be palatable to
most individuals unfamiliar with the movement. Murray guides, gently and
deftly, through the major arguments libertarians have been presenting
for many years. His smooth, conversational style can make it easy for a
reader to overlook the flaws in the book.

The major shortcoming is an idea that many libertarians seem to
hold--that the federal government is "worst" when it comes to limiting
freedom. It is true that the federal government is of necessity larger
than state and other, more localized levels of government, and therefore
impacts more individuals. In terms of limiting freedoms, however, it
doesn't matter to an innocent person whose property was seized under
asset forfeiture whether the law allowing it is federal, state, or local
in origin. To focus on federal government might be acceptable as a first
tactic in creating a freer society, but to do so in a presentation of
principles creates a target for skeptics and opponents.

Murray, in his gentle handling of issues, also avoids many areas that
are divisive among libertarians. Whether this is a flaw or not will
depend upon the reader's perspective. If one is unfamiliar with
libertarianism and wants an introduction to the freedom philosophy, What
it Means to be a Libertarian: A Personal Interpretation will provide
much to think about. If one is expecting a more thorough, probing work
for a libertarian audience, the book will disappoint.

If the former is Murray's intended audience, he's scored a near
bull's-eye. His personal approach and accessible style make the topic
easily digestible to someone interested in learning the fundamental
ideas of the freedom philosophy. Murray also leaves room for people to
see interpretations other than his. The book is well-suited as an
introduction to libertarianism; a libertarian can share this book with
someone interested in these ideas, and then follow up with discussion.
The reaction of libertarians to his approach will, predictably, vary,
depending upon how closely their interpretation of libertarianism lines
up with Murray's. Some of his suggestions--such as school vouchers and
taxes to support other, "vital" functions of government--are sure to
raise the ire of libertarians who apply the Non-Aggression Principle
very broadly.

Even so, Murray's book offers value irrespective of one's position
within the libertarian continuum. For those who accept "limited
government" and "work within the electoral system for change" arguments,
it is a well-written presentation of ideology and general action. For
those who think tactical compromise is a betrayal of principles, it
represents a challenge to think about that position more precisely, as
well as how to present it honestly, yet non-threateningly, to
individuals who are receptive to the freedom

On  3 Jan 99 , Andrew wrote:

 Then thar Thought Adjusters and stuff sounds like some think tank
 has laid the ground work for implanting fundamentalist America.
 You were saying the books 30 years old - why its almost credible
 now ...

In the Gurdjieff work there is also a "thought adjuster"--
whimsically  called (in Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson) the Organ
Kundabuffer.

The stated purpose of this organ is protective, since Gurdjieff
states that if humans knew their real position and condition in the
Universe, they would not be able to bear to live.  It also seems to
relate to kundalini--which Eastern tradition tells us needs to be
"awakened" in order for humans to have "full consciousness.

Waking up is the stated purpose of the Gurdjieff work, so one would
have to assume that by the time one managed to "wake up" (by removing
the buffer that closes off the kundalini), one would be sufficiently
evolved that one could bear to live with whatever knowledge awaited.

Of course, Gurdjieff also "taught"  that the earth has been almost
completely destroyed four times and that many of the people now
living on earth whom we would consider "primitive" are the sad
and lost remnants of highly evolved civilizations who lived on the
earth previous to our time.  This is a curious "backward" view of
history, since it regards previous civilizations as having been
vastly superior to our own. So much for "progress."

Colin Wilson's "The Outsider" is  loosely based on the Gurdjieffian
teachings and is probably more accessible than Gurdjieff's own
writings, which were deliberately obfuscated by the author to make
reading and deciphering them next to impossible. Talk about elitism!
LOL!!

Of course, you have to hand it to Gurdjieff who, writing in the 50s,
presented the author of his book as a person traveling on a space
ship, about to visit earth while making a kind of galactic tour.
He must surely have had a sense of humor.

And yes, I've read The Morning of the Magicians. In fact, I believe I

CIA Cocaine Smuggling Crack Epidemic

a book review by Uri Dowbenko


"Dark Alliance" was originally the title of a series of newspaper
articles by San Jose Mercury reporter Gary Webb (August 18, 1996). It
had a strong lead, a powerful introduction, and it's still an accurate
summary of the story.

"For the better part of a decade, a Bay Area drug ring sold tons of
cocaine to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of Los Angeles and funneled
millions in drug profits to a Latin American guerilla army run by the
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, a Mercury News investigation has
found. This drug network, federal records show, opened the first
pipeline between Colombia's cocaine cartels and black neighborhoods of
Los Angeles, a city now known as the crack capital of the world. The
cocaine it brought into the United States fueled the crack explosion in
urban America and the simultaneous rise to power of the murderous gangs
of black L.A."

Did the Nicaraguan Contras really use cash from cocaine sold in the US?
Did CIA- sanctioned Nicaraguan drug smugglers flood the inner cities of
America with crack cocaine? The answer to both questions is Yes.

In its new book-length incarnation, Dark Alliance by Gary Webb is a
heavily referenced history of how the CIA engineered the high-volume
U.S. cocaine invasion in the 1980s. This is a classic market study.
Saturate the market with low-cost cocaine. Produce mass market "crack"
in South Central Los Angeles. Make big bucks. Go to jail (if you're not
protected by a high-level CIA coverup.)

"Freeway" Ricky Ross, a young entrepreneurial black guy, and hundreds of
other crack dealers are in jail. Danilo Blandon and Norwin Meneses are
the Nicaraguan CIA assets who keep getting "get out of jail free" cards.


Dark Alliance is a bombshell of a book, meticulously researched and
entertainingly written. Investigative reporter Webb delivers the goods
-- solid evidence about Contra/CIA/cocaine trafficking. First, there was
the newspaper story, supplemented by website documentation and evidence,
and then the book. Webb writes that "unlike all the previous stories
about the Contras and cocaine, this one couldn't be killed off in the
traditional manner, by Big Media ignoring it or relegating it to a news
brief. Millions of people were finding out about Dark Alliance anyway,
even though not a word had appeared in the so-called national press."

Enter the Internet and the San Jose Mercury Website which spread the
information quickly around the world, before it could be "spiked", or
put out of circulation by CIA asset-publishers. "Because the story had
what I called a high unbelievability factor, I wanted to use the
Mercury's Web site, Mercury Center, to help document the series," writes
Webb. "I wanted us to put our evidence up on the Internet, so readers
could see our documents and reports, read the grand jury transcripts,
listen to undercover DEA tapes, check our sources and make up their own
minds about the validity of the story. After seeing the government's
reaction to the Contra-cocaine stories of the 1980s. I didn't want to be
caught in the old `officials-say-there's-no-evidence' trap."

The story received rave reviews. HotWired wrote, "Dark Alliance is
making digital and media history. The Mercury News is demonstrating for
perhaps the first time how the Web and the traditional press can fuse to
good effect -- and that there's still a chance to break modern media's
parochial instincts and return some power to journalists outside
Washington and New York."

Webb writes, "If there was one thing scarier to corporate journalism
than the series itself, it was the image of the future where Big Media
was unable to control the national agenda."

On his own website computer consultant J. Orlin Grabbe writes that "a
democratic revolution similar to Gutenberg's is taking place today in
the transmission and presentation of news. The Internet in general and
the World Wide Web in particular undermine the authority of the priestly
caste of editors presiding over the New York Times. The Internet's
information transmission mechanisms bypass and make a mockery of the
highly selective news filters imposed at CNN. Original news, research
and opinion -- both the good and the bad - - often goes from the
producer to consumer unadulterated."

Grabbe's own research on former DEA agent Cele Castillo produced a story
called "The Coke Was Stored in Hangars 4 and 5".

Once Webb's story hit the fan, a cover story, counterattack and media
spin were launched by the CIA-connected Mega-Media Cartel. Webb found
out that the "journalist" attacking his credibility and the verities of
his story was Washington Post writer Walter Pincus, who bragged about

Maxine Waters Keeps CIA-Contra-Crack Ties On The Agenda

Need something to look forward to in the coming year in Congress besides
impeachment? California Rep. Maxine Waters is making sure that the
CIA-contra-crack issue stays on the legislative agenda. In the midst of
impeachment madness, Waters called on House Intelligence Committee
Chairman Porter Goss to hold investigative hearings into the CIA's
complicity with Contra drug traffickers. "While the House Judiciary
Committee continues to deliberate about the constitutional significance
of trying to hide a private, extramarital affair, the CIA recently
released a report that suggests further action against highest level
Reagan Administration officials should have been pursued," Waters said
in a statement. "This should be at the very top of the agenda for
legislative business when the House Intelligence Committee reconvenes in
the 106th Congress." Waters believes, as do many other observers, that
the findings of a CIA internal review into allegations of drug trade
involvement, "confirmed the CIA knew of Contra drug trafficking and
chose to continue to work with and support the drug traffickers on their
payroll." Waters called the CIA Inspector General's Report a "remarkable
reversal and admission of guilt by an agency that had always vehemently
denied any knowledge of or involvement with drug trafficking." "I was
not surprised that the CIA employees who were in the field during the
Contra war denied that they were supporting known drug traffickers when
interviewed by the Inspector General," Waters noted. "These same employe
es face potential criminal prosecution if found to have knowingly
supported drug traffickers in their singular pursuit of overthrowing the
Contras." "I was surprised at the number of sources cited in the
Inspector General's Report that confirm the CIA knew of and covered up
Contra drug trafficking because of the central role so many of these
Contra drug runners played in the anti-Sandinista effort. The following
is the text of the letter Rep. Waters sent to Porter Goss:

The Honorable Porter J. Goss
Chairman
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
H405 Capitol
Washington, DC 20515
November 30, 1998

Dear Chairman Goss:

As the House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee considers its
legislative business for the 106th Congress, I urge the Committee to
place the investigation into the allegations of U.S. intelligence
involvement with Contra drug trafficking at the top of its agenda.

I believe the dramatic new developments in this ongoing scandal make it
imperative that the House Intelligence Committee hold full public
hearings to be able to fully and adequately complete its investigation.
I ask you to set a date for the commencement of these hearings as soon
as possible after the start of the 106th Congress.

The facts detailed in Volume II of the CIA Inspector General's Report
suggest that further action against high level Reagan Administration
officials and CIA officials should have been pursued. The Select
Intelligence Committee should take immediate steps to pursue these new
revelations.

Remarkably, the declassified version of Volume II confirmed many of the
key allegations of CIA and Reagan Administration support for Contra drug
trafficking to the U.S. This is remarkable because of the long-standing
policy of the CIA to deny any involvement with or knowledge of drug
trafficking by the Contras and their supporters. In short, it is a
complete reversal of the CIA's stated position to the public, press, and
of course, Congress.

The Washington Post reported the new revelations on November 3 with the
headline "CIA Ignored Tips Alleging Contra Drug Links, Report Says,"
while the New York Times covered this damning report on October 10
stating "C.I.A. Said to Ignore Charges of Contra Drug Dealing in '80s."
A number of other national and regional news organizations ran stories
acknowledging the fact that the CIA's Inspector General confirmed the
CIA knew of Contra drug trafficking and chose to continue to work with
and support the drug traffickers on their payroll.

Extensive new evidence revealed

The declassified version of the Report released by the CIA Inspector
General described how the CIA knew, at the highest level, that the
Contra rebels intended to sell drugs in the United States to finance its
war efforts. The Report details the voluminous evidence that the CIA and
the Reagan Administration possessed regarding drug trafficking by CIA
assets, contractors and individual supporters involved in the Contra
movement.

This evidence included some 1,000 cables sent to CIA headquarters in
Langley alleging drug trafficking by at least 58 Contra leaders, 14
Contra pilots on the CIA payroll, CIA contractors and front companies,
and the terrorist organization that

[CTRL] SnoOwl: Thought Adjuster: Hiding the harvest

1999-01-03 Thread Edward Britton

 -Caveat Lector-

SnoOwl:

Have you seriously considered what type of information this device, or
organ, is supposed to suppress? Could it be that the earth and its
inhabitants are *almost* destroyed every twenty-thousand years or so in the
deliberate attempt, by outside forces, to "harvest" human beings for the
later consumption of a superior race? Could it be that the sole purpose for
our existence is to be some sort of "cattle" for the gods, and that this is
the "information" to which we have been blocked? Ever see Life Force?

I am only being HALF sarcastic. This is a theory that I have toyed with for
years.

Edward   

The stated purpose of this organ is protective, since Gurdjieff
states that if humans knew their real position and condition in the
Universe, they would not be able to bear to live.  It also seems to
relate to kundalini--which Eastern tradition tells us needs to be
"awakened" in order for humans to have "full consciousness.

Waking up is the stated purpose of the Gurdjieff work, so one would
have to assume that by the time one managed to "wake up" (by removing
the buffer that closes off the kundalini), one would be sufficiently
evolved that one could bear to live with whatever knowledge awaited.

Of course, Gurdjieff also "taught"  that the earth has been almost
completely destroyed four times and that many of the people now
living on earth whom we would consider "primitive" are the sad
and lost remnants of highly evolved civilizations who lived on the
earth previous to our time.  This is a curious "backward" view of
history, since it regards previous civilizations as having been
vastly superior to our own. So much for "progress."

Colin Wilson's "The Outsider" is  loosely based on the Gurdjieffian
teachings and is probably more accessible than Gurdjieff's own
writings, which were deliberately obfuscated by the author to make
reading and deciphering them next to impossible. Talk about elitism!
LOL!!

Of course, you have to hand it to Gurdjieff who, writing in the 50s,
presented the author of his book as a person traveling on a space
ship, about to visit earth while making a kind of galactic tour.
He must surely have had a sense of humor.

And yes, I've read The Morning of the Magicians. In fact, I believe I
was the one who recommended it to Brother Blue. :))

Report: Dole to Leave Red Cross
Sunday, January 3, 1999; 6:42 p.m. EST

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Elizabeth Dole is planning to step aside as
president
of the American Red Cross in a step her political supporters hope will lead
to her running for president, Newsweek magazine reported.

The magazine reports in its Jan. 11 edition, portions of which were
released Sunday, that one of Mrs. Dole's close advisers described her
decision as a ``first step'' toward a possible campaign for the Republican
nomination, but also called it a ``nonpolitical event.''

Red Cross officials would not confirm the report but announced late
Sunday that Mrs. Dole would make a ``major'' announcement Monday at 2 p.m.
EST in Washington.

Newsweek had reported that she was expected to meet over the weekend
with the executive committee of the Red Cross prior to a Monday
announcement
of her plans.

Mrs. Dole's husband, former Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas, was the GOP
presidential nominee in 1996 and she has consistently scored high in public
opinion polls as a potential candidate.

Earl Cox, national campaign manager of Draft Elizabeth 2000, declined
to
say whether he knew anything about Mrs. Dole leaving the Red Cross. ``If
indeed that is the situation, it's encouraging,'' he said.

Cox added that he plans to be in Washington on Monday before spending
the rest of the week in Vermont and New Hampshire to campaign for the Dole
draft movement.

 Eerdmans Publishing Co.,
 Grand Rapids, Mich. 190 pages, $12.00


 Editor Gabrial Fackre voted for Clinton in 1992 and 1996, and considers
 himself a loyal Democrat.  Earlier this decade he authored a book
 warning of the rise of the religious right.  Professor emeritus of
 Christian theology at the prestigious Andover Newton Theological School
 near Boston, Fackre said, "We have been troubled by both the
 high-profile religious pleas to 'forgive and forget' and by the war
 cries of the religious right."

 Fackre opens the book with a three-page declaration from 157 signers,
 many of whom are self-declared proponents of Clinton policies and from
 recognized bastions of liberal political thought.  In their declaration
 they express doubt in President Clinton's "spiritual sincerity."

 More than 150 Christian moralists, theology professors and ethics
 scholars have published a withering protest of President Clinton's
 "manipulation of religion and debasing of moral language" during the
 ongoing national discussion about his impeachment.

 Fackre said that reaction to the declaration has been somewhat
 predictable:  "We are already getting flak for it from our colleagues in
 academia and religion.  What hurts the most is the response from my own
 colleagues in mainstream churches.  They ask, 'How could you dissent
 from what is apparent, that Clinton has done great good in public
 issues?  You are being used by Republicans for their own devices."

Many sickened after Calif. wildfires


NewsHawk® Inc.


The numbers are still coming in, but preliminary research as well as a
deluge of accounts from local north/northwestern Calif. sources indicate
a SIGNIFICANT "epidemic" of "flu-like" respiratory-related ailments
afflicting a goodly percentage of the regional population, following
weeks of a vast pall of smoke covering skies in nearly 2/3 of the state
at times.

While certainly smoke from the dozens of often unchecked, un-combated
woodland fires could certainly in and of itself precipitate respiratory
distress in many people, OTHER simultaneous symptoms noted by many of those
affected included dizziness, nausea, headaches, bloody noses (LOTS!),
tiredness, and other peculiarities.

Some folks indicated they felt perhaps chemicals used in firefighting
could cause some of the symptoms... a logical possibility--except that
in fact many of the LARGEST blazes burned literally UNCHECKED--in some
cases for MONTHS. We speak from personal experience of several fires in
Trinity County which went on for at least 2 1/2 months before being
doused by recent rains--finally! (gasp, gasp). So, no (standard)
firefighting chemicals would have been in the smoke and fumes covering
the sky in THAT area; yet this area has indeed yielded a good number of
the reports of odd illnesses.

However, huge banks of smoke also inundated more populated regions in
the Bay Area, Sacramento/San Joachin Valleys and the central coast, so
what's going on in these areas with bizarre, unexplained illnesses
cropping up needs to be researched as well.

A point to keep in mind here is that with few exceptions the infernos in
California were started by people--in most cases DELIBERATELY,
investigators believe.

The point to this BEING--as was raised by respondent Marta St. Augustine
in regard to a similar situation in Denver a couple of days ago--is
whether the smoke from "wildfires" (probably deliberately started, as
were most of the Calif. blazes) might be used as a cover and/or a means
to get bio/chem warfare substances into the air in a targeted region.
Perhaps substances could be mixed into standard firefighting chemicals
without the knowledge of firefighting crews; or, perhaps a targeted
"fire zone" is pre-doused by aircraft with bio/chem substances and THEN
set ablaze by an arsonist--probably mind-controlled.


More to come if and when the story develops further.

Whether it will be capitalist or communist seems to be an unresolved side
issue.

This is a false dichotomy. "Communism" is nothing more than state monopoly
capitalism.To learn about  REAL  communism read Acts: 2:44-46.

No way nessie. The differences between capitalism (monopoly or otherwise) and
communism are profound. This "state monopoloy capitalism" is the sort
Orwellian wordplay which seeks to obfuscate the real differences between
capitalist economies where consumer demand, private ownership and profit
incentives guide the economy delivering the society of plenty that most of us
live in, and communist economies where state planning, state ownership, and
state direction, delivers shortages, sloth and apathy.

Of course, if you think you can convince someone who has lived in a Communist
country that the material reality of their lifestyle was no different from
life in the "state monopoly capitalist" US go ahead.

And another thing, the use of the term "state monopoly capitalist" reeks of
the sort of backsliding wordplay one even gets from my favourite bugbear,
Noam Chomsky, who in his socialist idealism, regularly redefines the former
Communist bloc as "state capitalist", thus freeing his preferred way of life
from the burden of its profound  demonstrable failure and further damning
the demonic capitalist society of the US which, funnily enough, he just can't
bring himself to leave But I digress.

EDITORIAL

Home snoops

Most parents do not know it, but in the name of education, the federal
government is out to grade the home life of the nation's school parents. In
Pittsburgh, an uproar over governmental intrusion has begun in connection
with a project called the Pittsburgh School-wide Intervention Model, or
PSWIM for short. The project, which is partly funded by the National
Institute of Mental Health, asks teachers to record the behavior of their
pupils on everything "from fidgeting and humming to stealing, starting
fires and forcing others into sex," reports Insight magazine. "Other
elements of the process include giving students a page of photos of
classmates and instructing them to put an 'X' next to the three they
disliked most."

 Chaperoning school playground activities is one thing. Turning
teachers into behavioral analysts is another. The researchers claim that
identifying youngsters with problematic attitudes or behaviors will lower
the dropout and unemployment rates and curb crime. But what this kind of
oversight will really do is turn America's 110,000 public schools into
mental health clinics and its 50 million public school students into guinea
pigs.

 In the Pittsburgh program, youngsters were subjected to intense and
personal interrogation at school, and some of those youngsters, including
5-year-olds, were coerced into discussing their sexuality. Some were
questioned in rooms by teachers and researchers who were strangers to them,
and they "were not allowed to leave the room until they had given the
answers the researchers wanted," according to the Virginia-based American
Center for Law and Justice, a public-interest law firm. One question asks
youngsters: "Have you ever forced sex on anyone?" Pittsburgh parents, as
you might imagine, are outraged at these secret probing sessions. At first,
they were mystified by a change in their children's mood, then after
learning of the PSWIM project, they were angry that such inappropriate
lines of questioning were being conducted without their permission. Sandra
Delaney, whose third-grade son participated in PSWIM, told Insight that
"neither (the researchers nor the school) thought they needed parents'
permission --or else they didn't care. . . . [I] still don't know who has
information about my son or how it was interpreted."

 Truly disturbing as well is the fact that school systems around the
country are considering similar projects as the Clinton administration
pushes such invasive programs, programs funded by not just the Institute of
Mental Health but also the U.S. Department of Education and the federal
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A project conducted by the
University of Oregon, for example, is called Positive Behavior
Interventions and Supports (PBIS), which focuses on students in
kindergarten through third grade. Insight quotes Renee Bradley, a special
education researcher with the U.S. Department of Education, as saying the
Oregon project "is our biggest investment right now." Note the words "right
now," because Education Secretary Richard Riley and Attorney General Janet
Reno, no less, are urging Congress to appropriate $50 million in the FY
2001 budget to finance more experimental projects.

 Ms. Delaney, who now home-schools her son, and more than 70 other
parents are not standing for it. They have filed a federal lawsuit against
the Pittsburgh school district and the researchers, including the
University of Pittsburgh's Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. That
case is expected to go to trial in the spring.

 Meanwhile, California parents are in for an equally unpleasant
surprise. California Gov. Gray Davis, who vowed to take a "common sense"
approach on education reform, is considering signing legislation that
would, in the words of the San Francisco-based Pacific Research Institute,
"turn California school teachers into Big Brother's home snoops." The bill,
which was authored by state Assemblywoman Nell Soto, Pomona Democrat, would
allow schools to create home visitation programs and to compete for tens of
thousands of dollars to fund them. The teachers purportedly would assess
the home environment and lifestyles of the family to strengthen the bond
between parent and child.

 Any reasonable parent, teacher or lawmaker must see the

Re: Intercepted mail, tracking your connections, etc.

Here's how I really feel.  I'm very angry and discouraged that the power
elites (multinational corps/banks/govt and quasi-govt bureacracies) have
apparently destroyed much of the rule of law in America. I think those
elites are doing everything they can to create global power networks for
their interlocked, international corporations, each of which can flex more
muscle than most governments.  I am angry that these elites appear to have
given their allegiance to each other and their family and association
networks and not our great nation.  These elites have the agencies of govt
and govt officials in their pockets (that is, we have the best govt their
money can buy, unfortunately).  These folks have no conscience, and are
apparently filled with endless darkness.  They care mostly about money and
power and apparently care nothing of justice, righteousness or charity.
They are playing a dangerous game for us as well as for themselves and can
easily take us into major societal breakdown, regional war and even major
nuclear war.  I am angry that our congress allowed these elites to take over
our congressional right to an honest money system.  What we have now is a
toxically inflated debt based fraudulant fiat currency, the biggest ponzi
scheme in history.
The interest they accrue on their books to lend us our own money is never
put into circulation, so it can never be paid back (our imaginary national
debt is the total of all this fraudulant interest).  This money system
creates an indentured servitude to material goods that takes moms out of the
home and makes children mental, emotional orphans.  And I am angry that our
congressional leaders have allowed themselves to become so comprimised that
they sold their souls for money, power and the dc lifestyle.  I am angry
that parents have allowed tv to raise their children and mind control sick
values and beliefs into them.  I am angry that we as a society have allowed
liberalism and situational morality to be taught to our children through the
schools and tv. I hate to believe in conspiracy theories, but it sure seems
to me noam chomsky got a lot of it correctly when he called this phenomena
manufactured consent. If we have a govt that has gotten so corrupt that it
is functioning as a puppet for the internationally based corporate elites
and their families, and these entities have had a long term historical
commitment to drugs and anything else that yeild power and money no matter
who it hurts, then we as a society are in deep, deep trouble.  I fear that
the global system these elites are attempting to create is a system of
interlocked, international corporations that will transform most countries
of the world (including ours) into countries like mexico or colombia, each
and all serf based fascist oligarchies with almost no health care and
countless lifestyles of disease and suffering (like one big cost to coast
mexico city on each continent). I believe that 98% of our corrupt covert
operators and bureacratic shills (the wayne adrian richs and mark richards
of our govt) do not really understand what their actions are ultimately
going to do to this nation, its families and children and to their own
families.  I believe that whatever happens the next 1 to 10 years, at least
at somepoint it will come unglued and there will be a catastrophic rise in
death rates here and abroad.  I hope not, but history suggests this.  I knew
some facts about a certain naughty son that grew up in a wealthy family and
had no correction.  When he did naughty things either the cops looked the
other way or his dad made some calls. He was never punished or corrected.
He grew up to be super perverted, whacky and a blight to the community and
perpetuated the same total lack of morality upon his own rich  spoiled
kids.  His foolish behavior caused an accidental death which was quickly
covered up.   I suppose his sick family which had almost no intrinsic
character or morality serves as a standard for what these types of families
produce as traditions in the elites when there can be no correction to this
kind of family power allowed to exist above the law.  I know that our gov't
alphabets are systemically crazy, perverted, and murderous just like these
type elite families and have used the cloak of executive privilege and so
called "national security" to rationalize their appetites for money, power,
and industrial acquisitions, and the war games they love to play, and are
above the law and any correction. These agencies function as servants to
these elites.  The behavior of these families and their "agencies" produce
institutional death and suffering for millions.  How sad they don't use
their intelligence and skills to

Sounds like the nsa and their minions have had their fill of us!  We must be

There is a little story that I never told before, a story told me years go
by a very deep cover contact of mine, now deceased. I didn't give much
credibility to his tale, since I felt his stories were just way too
unbelievable.  Although he had too much money and way more power than he
deserved, I could just never place much credibility in his stories, they
were just too incredible. I enjoyed his company because of the outdoor
national and international hobby we enjoyed.  Now looking back years later,
I'm not so sure anymore his stories were so far out.  He told me on a number
of occasions that later on at a certain point, our overlord sub-earo minions
who run the american industrial/military/intelligence system would attempt
to go global, but that their greatest fear at that time would be a possible
"mass, spontaneous uprising of unassociated, unorganized, lone-nut
assassins" who might attack any and all oligarchs and feds at will in
kamikaze style revenge attacks and that this might occur when said folk find
out that their situation is irreversably lost and they have been
irrepairably duped.  Apparently their all too frequent use of the lone-nut
assassin model has left subconcious reverberations of the golden rule
inversion, best translated as:  instead of  (do unto others as you would
like them to do unto you), the inverse of "expect others to treat you in the
worst ways you ever treated them, and expect them to do this to you when you
are most vulnerable and least expect it" (commonly referred to as "what goes
around comes around" or "paybacks a bitch".   This is why the alphabets want
all the guns.   There is another big problem the usa-based, sub-euro
oligarchs and a their alphabet minions do not yet know.  And that is that in
the larger scope of things they will have their celebration or awards party
given them when the old euro merchant banking, black nobility families
attain the new world order and make it a euro world order:  this celebration
party for the usa shills/cutouts will be a "night of the long-knives" like
the brown shirts got in germany (come celebrate our victory on the train,
we'll have a geat time!"---result: all whacked to the last brownshirt).  If
this story is true, this will be one heck of a reward!

Deep cover rumor:
old euro minions have fixed up our sidona, fema, cog type underground type
bases with very special treatments by which these sub-euro usa
shills/cutouts can "celebrate".  It wil be a super-"whacked/out"
celebration, "night of the longknives", wackemout style.

Apparently, in the major scope of things, going global means going euro
supremo and that all major usa industries will have to be either
immobilized, destroyed or transferred to euro so that the usa money
generator can be "eliminated" and euro can assume its long designed role.
The Ero old nobility will not need us any more to industrialze, organize,
and compartmenbtalize the world for them--it will be time to take us out and
take it home!  We better Hope this recent type of thing with Boeing is just
temporary and airbus is just a flash in the pan.

This supposed future "just deserts" or reciprocal treachery is not expected

well, how can you do this to us? and such will fall on deaf ears.  Of course
many brass have already been marginalized, quieted by comprimise and quite a

Upper level sub-euro usa minions will think they are "above all this" and

With me,  there is no argument about what you believe...   but please don't
insist that I believe as you do,  or what I believe according to the Bible
is a lie or is inaccurate.  It is only fair to give you and anyone else
their space to believe what they want to,  I only ask the same in return.
Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing,  but drowning someone or silencing
them,  just because you disagree,  or because it does not fit your mold or
agenda of the way you think / believe things are,   is hardly fair.

I will remain with what I believe is "Satan"...  according to his descripts,
MO, titles, and behaviors according to the Biblical accounts cover to cover
according to appropriate translations. I would rather quote God's word,  or
Christ's teachings rather than "Gurdjieff" any day,  because I've never
heard of this person,  and have no need to put any credibility in what he
says or said.  On the other hand,  I've heard and experienced  the words of
the Bible,  not in my home but rather through intense studies,  most of my
life... THAT is credible to me,  and is what I choose as my personal
standard.  Growing up,  I rarely heard words of the Bible,  for my "ex"
parents are totally and 100% to this day, NWO oriented by their associations
and heavy involvements with certain secret and fraternal organizations that
I understand all too well,  and actually more than I wanted to ever know.

Again,  I will respect your right to believe whatever you choose to believe,
but I do not have to agree,  and reserve the right, just as you do,  to

 Curiously, the ancients who mapped our skies and plotted out the

The Private Health Care Juggernaut Needs Jilting by Marta Russell

Presidential hopeful Bill Bradley has placed health care reform on
the national agenda as well it should be. However, the Bradley plan
does not go far enough to resolve real need and it protects the
insurance industry - the very culprit which is undermining access to
quality health care in the nation.

Bradley's "universal" health care reform plan would abolish Medicaid
and use Medicaid plus budget surplus funds to provide subsidies to
95% of the 43 million uninsured Americans so they could join (with
little or no premiums) the Federal Government's employee health
insurance system or utilize tax credits to buy private insurance.
Bradley rationalizes his blueprint will "let the market do what it
does best and government do what it does best."

It is a mystery to this writer what the market has done best. Health
care in the U.S. is a trillion dollar industry. It is obliviously
driven by profit motives, not social responsibility. Could this be
more pronounced than in the market-heightened HMO/giant health care
conglomerate era of today? Columbia/HCA executives, for instance,
were recently convicted of intentionally defrauding Medicare of
millions of dollars after a run of soaring profits on Wall Street.
Humana Inc. and Aetna/US Healthcare face class action lawsuits
alleging, amongst other things, that they pay doctors for withholding
costly treatments and offer them other financial incentives to
diminish the cost of the care the companies deliver.

Here I want to focus on how the private system does least by those
who utilize health care the most.

The medical insurance game is played like this: the industry first
studies data and calculates rates that will assure profits. It then
"cherry picks" by denying insurance to bad risks. A 1996 study, for
example, revealed that 47% of those insurance applicants who had been
screened for "defects" were denied health insurance. Another way
insurers turn risky subscribers away is by limiting their obligations
through underwriting practices. They may insert pre-existing
condition clauses which disallow treatment for periods of time. They
may limit coverage so that specific treatments, drugs, or medical
equipment are not included. They may cap benefits or they may charge
exorbitant premiums for those with a history of a disabling condition.

(One paraplegic's premium, for example, was $750 per month. Others
have reported premiums as high as $1,100. Such rates are not
affordable for most working people and they discourage employers, who
do not want to see insurers jack up their premiums, from hiring or
retaining disabled workers.)

Unlike nondisabled people, those diagnosed with conditions such as
diabetes or asthma, cannot go without treatment for six months or one
year. Restrictions placed on benefits coupled with high premiums mean
that those who experience disablement from birth or acquire one later
in life may be forced to apply for health care from a public program
like Medicare and/or be reduced to penury to qualify for Medicaid.

Essentially, market forces have shifted people needing ongoing health
services onto the public health care system by out pricing,
undercovering, or denying essential care for periods of time. Indeed
the government stepped in to provide Medicare and Medicaid to serve
those segments of the population the private system squeezes out:
seniors and those under sixty five who are disabled from birth or
acquire a disability later in life.

These systemic underwriting practices which leave many "uninsurables"
out of the private insurance loop are meant to shift the burden of
cost onto government. They assure that "non-profitable" people will
not narrow the profit margins of health corporations. In a display of
such intent, the business lobby fought for and won passage of a law,
(USC 42 1395 y (b), which allows private insurers (and employers) to
rid themselves of their disabled retirees by dumping them onto
Medicare.

In the Managed Care Era, "cherry picking" has taken a more insidious
form. Ever wonder why HMO advertising

 [note: Throughtout the War, the Toronto Star(supposedly left wing!)

lauding NATO as the pillars of humanity. I had sent numerous
letters to the  Star complaining of the fallacious portrayal of the

drop D.U weapons on Yugoslavia, if this would put  Peace keepers
in harms way". He went on say that"I must first prove that NATO
had actually used this weaponry"--and that I did... I finally received
a call explaining that they were "comtemplating" whether or not to
print my letter. Unfortunately, or shall I say not surprinsingly, they
did not do so, considering this would only discredit  all  previous
"reports" on this issue...
Now finally,  the BIG LIE is exposed.]

W IT CAN BE TOLD - that the "genocide" and "holocaust" charges against
the Yugoslavian government and the Serbs were deliberate
falsifications.  This is the first (published) Canadian journalist, I
believe, who has actually put together the findings from various
independent sources which have travelled on the Internet for a couple of
months. Let us see if it affects any of the coverage in the Toronto Star
which was relentless in its viciousness toward the Serbs and didn't
hesitate to repeat every outlandish story that it came across, in order
to foster hatred against the Serbs! Let us see if other columnists will
follow with a "mea culpa." Gwyn, of course, does not do a real
self-criticism of himself,  his newspaper and the overall Canadian and
international media, and throws in the usual gratuitous comments about
Milosevic and the"stupidity of Serbs", but nevertheless this is a
significant first step.

The column comes from a debate that took place on an  TV Ontario
programme, "Diplomatic immunity" on Oct.  29, between three journalists:
Patrick Martin of the Globe and Mail, Richard Gwyn and Eric Margolies
(perhaps the most vicious of the falsifiers), and Major-General (Ret'd)
Lewis MacKenzie, with Gwyn, Martin and MacKenzie raising the issues of
falsification (Patrick Martin even brought out the role of the PR firms
in this war, reminding the viewers of the Hill and Knowlton created
"incubator babies" incident in the Gulf War in 1990!). (If anyone has
the transcript of this watershed programme in the Canadian media, please
send it to me so I can spread it around the world.)

This article needs to be circulated widely. If you can get your copy of
the Toronto Star of November 3, you will have a ready made leaflet to
give out to friends, relatives, fellow workers and neighbours, who have
been at the receiving end of the false propaganda tales. They will find
this an eye-opener.

On the web you can locate the article  at Toronto Star's site:
http://www.thestar.com   among the "Opinion" pieces

This is an EXCELLENT time to respond to the Gwyn article, by forwarding
it to your MP with your personal comment and request for a public
inquiry into Canada's involvement in an illegal and immoral war. Also,
do write letters to the Toronto Star.  It is bound to publish some of
them. (Do send us a copy so that we can send out a whole stream of them,

NO GENOCIDE, NO JUSTIFICATION FOR WAR ON KOSOVO

Richard Gwyn

IN THE GENOCIDE of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo by the forces of Serb
leader Slobodan Milosevic, the worst incident occurred at the Trepca
mine.

As reported by American and NATO officials, large numbers of bodies were
brought in by trucks under the cover of darkness. The bodies were then
thrown down the shafts, or were disposed of entirely in the mine's vats
of hydrochloric acid. Estimates of the number of dead began at 1,000.

That was six months ago, in the middle of the war undertaken to halt
what both U.S. President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony
Blair called ``a human catastrophe.'' Estimates of the number of ethnic
Albanians slaughtered went upward from 10,000. U.S. Defence Secretary
William Cohen put the count at 100,000.

Three weeks ago, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia released the findings of Western forensic teams investigating
the horror at Trepca. There were not 1,000 bodies down the mine shafts
at Trepca, reported the tribunal. There were not 100 bodies there. There
was not one body there, nor was there any evidence the vats had ever

 Boss Colt

THE CLEVELAND BROWNS, BALTIMORE Colts, and San Francisco 49ers were the only
three teams from the defunct AAFC that were merged into the NFL in 1950.[1]
The deal was cinched by Mickey McBride and his two close NFL friends Tim Mara
and Art Rooney, who had been convinced by Bert Bell to warmly welcome the
AAFC teams into the NFL—so as to avoid potential antitrust problems with the
federal government.

However, the Colts folded at the end of the 1950 season after team owner
Abraham Watner had lost $760,000. Part of the void left by the Colts was
filled by the new Dallas Texans. But the owners of the Dallas team found
themselves in even worse financial shape than Watner had been and gave up
their franchise during the 1952 midseason. The Texans then went into a
receivership controlled by Bert Bell and the NFL. The final five games of the
Dallas Texans season were played in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The city of Baltimore desperately wanted the return of its NFL franchise. And
commissioner Bell was happy to accommodate the Baltimore sports fans. But his
major concern was finding an owner who had enough money to carry the team
beyond a single season.

Carroll Rosenbloom had all the looks of a winner. Born on March 5, 1907, in
Baltimore, he was handsome, charming, witty, and frequently generous. But
friends and associates have also said that his generosity sometimes carried a
price, and that he could be thin-skinned, condescending, and mean-spirited.
Because his ego was as big as his financial portfolio, he seemed to enjoy
keeping people guessing.

Totally unpredictable, he was the kind of guy who could slap a newspaper boy
around for throwing the morning edition in the bushes-and then the next day
offer to put the same boy through college. One NFL team owner said, "Carroll
always gave you the feeling that if you crossed him, he was capable of
slitting your throat, then donating your blood to the Red Cross blood
drive."[2]

Of course, those who crossed him were rarely forgiven. If he was in the midst
of a war with someone and discovered that he had been wrong, he would rarely
apologize. Instead, he would simply send flowers with a funny note attached
and pretend that nothing had happened. His tone was slow and deliberate, as
he switched between his Ivy League speech and racier, "mothahfuckah" street
talk. He was intensely competitive and also a heavy gambler.

A ruthless businessman, he was the son of Solomon Rosenbloom, a manufacturer
of denim work clothes. Carroll Rosenbloom's older brother Ben Rosenbloom told
me, "When our father came over from Russia, he couldn't speak English. In
about 1888, he became a partner in the Standard Overall Company in Baltimore.
But, as his sons got older, he decided to start a business that they could
participate in. He sold out to his partners in Standard and then founded S.
Rosenbloom, Inc. We manufactured all kinds of denims and sportswear. And
everything just evolved from there.

"When another overall company, [which eventually became] Blue Ridge
Manufacturers of Roanoke, Virginia, went up for sale, we bought it [in or
about 1900]. Soon, we had plants all over the country. We sold our products
to all the big chains, like Sears and Montgomery Ward."

The athletic, five-feet-eleven Carroll Rosenbloom grew up on Hollins
Street—near the home of writer H. L. Mencken—before the family moved into a
large home on Auchentroly Terrace, across from Druid Hill Park in
northeastern Baltimore. A psychology major at Baltimore City College, he
transferred to the University of Pennsylvania.

There were nine children in the family, six boys and three girls.[3] All the
boys were raised to work in the family business; the girls were brought up to
be good wives. Carroll went to work for his father when he graduated from
college.

But Carroll wanted more responsibility and soon helped expand the family
business, creating new companies and opening new plants. During the
mid-1930s, he became the head of Blue Ridge and its subsidiaries-which, at
the time, had eighty employees and included the Imperial Shirt Company.

"Carroll's father was a genius," said another member of the Rosenbloom
family. "Although his oldest son, Isadore, was the obvious heir, and he ran
another Rosenbloom company, Marlboro Shirts, while Solomon was alive, really
none of the sons were very ambitious, with the exception of Carroll. He was
special. He was dynamic but totally self-centered and gruff. He wasn't a very
classy man, and despite his education, he didn't appear to be well educated."

When Solomon died in 1942, Carroll Rosenbloom assumed control of all the
family's business interests, as directed by the elder Rosenbloom's will.
"Upon my father's death, Carroll consolidated all our family's holdings under
Blue Ridge," says Ben Rosenbloom. "Carroll did a hell of a job for

Winning Some and Losing Some

ON DECEMBER 28,1958, nationally televised professional football came of age
when Carroll Rosenbloom's Baltimore Colts defeated the New York Giants,
23-17, for the NFL championship. After missing an earlier attempt, Colts
placekicker Steve Myhra booted a twenty-yard field goal with seven seconds
left to play in regulation, tying the game at 17-17.

The game then went into the first sudden-death play-off in postseason play.
The Giants won the toss and chose to receive. However, they failed to make a
first down and were forced to punt. The Colts received the Giants' punt and
marched eighty yards downfield in thirteen plays. The Colts' Johnny Unitas—a
quarterback drafted and released by the Pittsburgh Steelers whom Rosenbloom
signed for a mere $7,000 in 1956—completed four passes during the drive.
Halfback Alan Ameche also tore off a twenty-three-yard run on a trap play.

A few plays later, with second down and goal-to-go on the Giants eight yard
line—easy field goal range—the Colts gambled and elected to pass, with Unitas
throwing to Jim Mutscheller who was downed on the one yard line. On third
down, the Colts' bench again refused to send in kicker Myhra to end the game.
Instead, Unitas gave the ball to Ameche, who plunged in for the touchdown and
the championship with eight minutes and fifteen seconds elapsed in the
sudden-death period.

A fourth down decision never had to be made. But, for years, rumors have
circulated that the betting line influenced the final play.

 Johnny Unitas told me that no one had ever told him about any bets on the
game. "I called all the plays," he says. "If there were any audibles to be
done, I did those at the line of scrimmage. I was responsible for calling for
the pass and for calling Ameche's number for the winning touchdown.

"Any time there is a field goal situation, the field goal team would be sent
in from the bench. But they never sent the field goal team in, so my job was
to go for the touchdown."

Recalling the final moments of the game, the Colts' head coach, Weeb Ewbank,
told me, "We had missed one field goal, and we had luckily gotten one to tie
the game to put it in overtime. We did not have a great placekicker. I made
the decision not to send the field goal team out there.

"In the closing minutes of the game, there was a time-out. John came over and
asked, 'What are you thinking?' And I said, 'Alan is a fine ball carrier, and
he doesn't fumble the ball.' But the one thing we needed was to have the ball
in front of the goalposts because we wanted an opportunity to kick if we had
to.

"When John faded back to pass, I was afraid that somebody would hook his arm.
I have seen too many times where somebody hooks an arm, misses an assignment,
or just falls down. Too many things could happen. When anyone asks me why we
passed, I tell them, 'Ask John. He was the one who called it."[1]

According to author Kay Iselin Gilman, "There was gossip among so-called
Football Insiders that owner Carroll Rosenbloom had placed a mammoth bet on
the game and that Weeb called for a touchdown to ensure that the Colts would
beat the point spread. Weeb termed these innuendos 'So much nonsense, I had
no idea what the point spread was and I couldn't have cared less.' "[2]

During my interview with Ewbank, he said, "I was with the Colts for nine
years, and I never talked to Carroll Rosenbloom or any of his friends during
a ball game. I wasn't even conscious of what the line on the game was.
Carroll never told me anything like that. He never gambled around me."

However, later in the interview, Ewbank complained that he did have trouble
with Rosenbloom because of his attempts to interfere with his on-field
coaching decisions. But Rosenbloom didn't deal with Ewbank directly in these
instances. "He would say it to the general manager, Don Keller. And then
Keller would come to me. And I'd say to Keller, 'Do you feel that way?'

And Keller would say, 'No, but I have to sit up there with Carroll.'

"Of course, I would do what Carroll wanted. And then I'd get in trouble with
the players because they thought I had made the decision."

However, Ewbank insists that Rosenbloom did not use Keller as his messenger
during the final minutes of the 1958 championship game.

Nevertheless, according to numerous figures in sports gambling, the decision
by the Colts' management to go for the touchdown instead of the field goal
was "no decision." One major bookmaker told me, "You have to understand that
a week before the game, the Colts were favored by three and a half points. So
much money was coming in on them that the point spread in some places really
went up to four and a half, five, and even five and a half points. The talk
was that Rosenbloom and some bigtime gambling buddy of his had taken the
Colts and given the points and bet a

A New Commissioner

ON AUGUST 14, 1959, twenty-seven-year-old Texas oilman Lamar Hunt announced
that what soon became known as the American Football League (AFL) had been
created to rival the NFL. Hunt was the owner of the new Dallas Texans and one
of three sons of H. L. Hunt, Jr., an oil-rich tycoon who was also a big-money
sports gambler and a close friend of Mafia bookmaker Frank Erickson. Lamar
Hunt had earlier tried and failed to buy both the Chicago Cardinals and a new
Dallas franchise for the NFL but was rejected. Consequently, he decided to
form his own league.

Harry Wismer—who had been part owner of the Washington Redskins and became
the majority owner of the New York Titans, another AFL team-wrote that he had
first met Lamar Hunt when the AFL was being formed.[1] However, Wismer had
previously known Hunt's father. "I first met the [elder] Hunt at a party
given by Ray Ryan, an old friend of mine. Ryan [was] one of the biggest
gamblers in the country and called the senior Hunt his 'pigeon.' There was
nothing phony about Hunt. He made his fortune by borrowing fifty dollars and
betting he could find oil on land where the geologists said there wasn't any.
H. L. Hunt's philosophy of life was that a man would succeed if he kept
plugging and was willing to gamble. Ryan told me [Wismer] he thought that
H.L. bet close to a million dollars a week during the football season. That's
a staggering sum to most but a drop in the bucket to him. "[2]

Author Don Kowet reported, "Hunt's only use for money, outside of making more
money, was to wager it. He employed a graduate of MIT as a full-time
statistician, to compute the odds on his various bets. He placed those bets
through a special communications system, installed in his office, which
connected him with the major horse tracks and bookmakers around the country.
"[3]

Bookmaker Marty Kane told me, "H. L. Hunt stiffed about four or five
bookmakers for a lot of money, including Gil Beckley. Hunt just told them he
wasn't going to pay. He was really a greasy son of a bitch."

The Hunt family contained serious gamblers. However, there is no evidence
that the low-key Lamar Hunt was ever a sports gambler. Yet, it is difficult
to believe that he did not, wittingly or unwittingly, pass along inside
information about his team to members of his family. There is little in his
father's background to suggest that he was above gaining such an edge.

Another AFL team owner was Barron Hilton. He purchased the Los Angeles
Chargers and moved the team to San Diego in 1961. A longtime gambler, Hilton
was a top executive of the Hilton Hotel chain. He was the son of Conrad
Hilton, who had built the first Hilton Hotel in 1919.[4] Barron's older
brother, Nicky, had been the first husband of actress Elizabeth Taylor.[5]

Barron Hilton, a college dropout, resisted the hotel business at first,
turning down an offer at age nineteen to work for his father. Instead, he
bought interests in other companies. By 1960, he had sold off his own
business and returned to the family fold. He was immediately appointed by his
father as a vice president for the hotel chain. While taking an active role
in Hilton affairs, he helped to create the Carte Blanche credit card company
and bought the Chargers of the AFL.[6]

Hilton told The Wall Street journal that he was called into his father's
office when his businesses appeared to be in trouble. "I've been reviewing
the operations of the football club and I've noticed that you have a very
substantial loss of about $900,000," Conrad Hilton told his son. "And the
credit card business looks to me like it's going to lose about $1.5 million.
What kind of record are you trying to establish?’[7] Barron Hilton later sold
his interest in Carte Blanche, but he kept the Chargers.

Hilton had maintained a long-term personal and business relationship with Los
Angeles attorney Sidney Korshak, according to an official statement made by
Korshak to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. Korshak has also
been described by law-enforcement agencies as "the link between the
legitimate business world and organized crime." He had been active in
Hollywood since the early 1940s but had moved to Los Angeles in January 1948,
beginning a new and more sophisticated era of the crime syndicate's
penetration of the film industry.[8]

Korshak had done legal work for Hilton. He had been recommended to Hilton by
Patrick Hoy, a mutual friend and a top executive with General Dynamics, the
military hardware firm.

The other members of the AFL—all of whom put up $25,000 for their charter
franchises, as well as "performance bonds" of $100,000—were

Murchison's father had been expelled from Trinity College for gambling. Soon
after, he became a wildcatter who struck it rich during the Texas oil boom of
the 1920s. Murchison Sr. is famous for his observation: "Money is like
manure. If you spread it around, it does a lot of good. But if you pile it up
in one place, it stinks like hell." He once bet a million dollars on a single
flip of a coin-and lost.

The Murchisons were enthusiastic supporters of Senator Joseph McCarthy's
witch-hunt and major backers of Vice President Richard Nixon in his 1960
presidential campaign against John Kennedy. After Nixon lost the election, he
bought a lot from the Murchisons in Beverly Hills for the bargain price of
$35,000.

The Nixon property was a part of the exclusive Trousdale Estates, which had
been developed by the Murchisons—with the help of a $6.7 million loan from
the Teamsters' Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund on
February 26, 1959.[1]

A successful businessman like his father, Clint Murchison, Jr., was also a
heavy gambler. The Murchisons operated the Del Mar racetrack in Southern
California. In 1954, profits from the track were diverted to Boys, Inc., a
nonprofit corporation to help homeless boys which had been created by the
Murchisons and their business associate Sid W. Richardson, another
high-stakes gambler.
 In 1959, the Murchisons and Richardson were investigated by the California
state legislature for allegedly using Boys, Inc. as a vehicle for the
racetrack owners to evade taxes. When the investigation was concluded, both
the state and the IRS began to levy taxes against Boys, Inc. Later, a federal
court overturned the rulings and Boys, Inc. was again exempted from federal
taxes.

An annual guest of the Murchisons' nearby Hotel Del Charro in La Jolla,
California, was J. Edgar Hoover. A horse-racing fan and another big gambler,
Hoover had made a ritual of checking into the Del Charro during the racing
season at Del Mar. When the Murchisons and Richardson found themselves in
trouble over Boys, Inc., Hoover stepped forward in the midst of the
controversy and said, "I know Clint Murchison quite well and I think he would
be the last person in the country to use such a plan as a clever tax or
business subterfuge. In fact, I spoke to Murchison about ten years ago about
devoting some time and help to youth work and the charitable corporation of
Del Mar is one of his answers. This work helps directly in making the nation
sturdy, for communist penetration is currently directed mainly at labor
organizations and youth organizations." Hoover also described Murchison as
"the type of rugged individualist that made this country great."[2]

Young Murchison had been a short but tough, 120-pound halfback at a New
Jersey prep school. He did his undergraduate work in electrical engineering
at Duke, where he was a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, and received his master's
degree in mathematics from MIT. By the time he bought the Cowboys, the
personal wealth of his family was estimated as being more than $2
billion—which, in Texas, was second only to their longtime rivals, the Hunt
family.

The owner of a labyrinth of businesses, the highly secretive Murchison was
investigated by no fewer than nine federal agencies and two congressional
committees during a ten-year period beginning in 1955. The Senate Commerce
Committee wrote that Gerardo Catena of New Jersey, a top-ranking member of
the Vito Genovese crime family, "allegedly owned almost 20% of all the
production of Murchison Oil Lease [Company], Oklahoma" during the early 1950s.

Murchison was also involved in business partnerships with numerous associates
of Carlos Marcello of New Orleans, the most feared Mafia boss in the South.
And Murchison personally had real estate and banking ties with Marcello.
Although Murchison had always denied knowing Marcello, he did admit that he
occasionally had dinner at the Plantation, Marcello's New Orleans
restaurant.[3]

Joseph Campisi was a close friend of Murchison. Campisi, the owner of the
Egyptian Lounge in Dallas, was associated with numerous underworld figures,
particularly Joseph Civello, the head of the Marcello-controlled Dallas
Mafia. Campisi has never been convicted of any crime but was arrested in 1944
for murder. The case was dismissed when the county grand jury determined that
he had acted in self-defense. However, he has been linked by law-enforcement
agencies to Marcello and "with both gambling and bookmaking activities

The Gambling Scandal Erupts

CARROLL ROSENBLOOM WAS FLYING high. By 1962, he, Morris Mac Schwebel, and Lou
Chesler were still the three largest stockholders in Seven Arts, which had
already purchased the film libraries of Warner Brothers and Twentieth
Century-Fox. Also that year, Seven Arts purchased the film library of MCA/
Universal Pictures for $21.5 million with a down payment of $7.5 million.[1]

Since the back-to-back NFL championship seasons in 1958 and 1959, Rosenbloom
and his Baltimore Colts had barely played .500 ball but were doing so in
front of large, enthusiastic crowds. Rosenbloom was making a fortune on his
team.

Three of the members of that Colts team-Alan Ameche, Joe Campanella, and Gino
Marchetti-had come to Rosenbloom to borrow $100,000 to help them finance a
local small restaurant. Without flinching, Rosenbloom loaned them the money.
It was another good bet. The little restaurant became the first of the Gino's
national fast-food franchises. Seeing how successful the experiment was,
Rosenbloom continued to loan his players money when they wanted to start
their own businesses. Of course, Rosenbloom became a major stockholder in
their companies.

"Our objective is to help all our players invest their money well,"
Rosenbloom told reporter Bob Oates. "I don't believe the bromide: 'The only
good ball player is a hungry ballplayer.' I don't want any hungry athletes
around me. The way to win games and titles is with 40 players who are free to
give their undivided attention to football because they don't have a worry in
the world." He also saw to it that his players were perennially among the
highest-paid in the NFL.

Rosenbloom was a close friend of Ambassador Joseph Kennedy and his son
Senator John Kennedy of Massachusetts, a member of the Senate Rackets
Committee who had become the President of the United States in 1961. Young
Kennedy was one of Rosenbloom's golf partners.

According to author Doris Kearns Goodwin, on the day Kennedy was elected,
Rosenbloom was out on the lawn of the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port,
playing touch football with Kennedy friends and family. At dinner on election
night, Rosenbloom was one of only three friends present and had flown in a
bushel of hard-shell crabs from the Chesapeake Bay for the occasion.[2]

Kennedy family spokesman, Steve Smith, who was also present at the election
night dinner, told me that he did not recall Rosenbloom's being there. He
did, however, say that Rosenbloom and Joe Kennedy had been members of the
same country club in Palm Beach, Florida. "There was never any business
relationship between Rosenbloom and any member of the Kennedy family that I'm
aware of. He was a friend, and the family liked him," Smith said.

Rosenbloom had given Robert F. Kennedy a game ball signed by the members of
the 1958 World Champion Colts. Kennedy kept the ball in his office when he
became U.S. attorney general under his brother.

"Rosenbloom was a great, great friend of Joe Kennedy," says Rosenbloom's
longtime friend and business partner Tex McCrary. "And he was a great friend
of Jack Kennedy. Carroll worshipped Jack Kennedy. And he used to love quoting
old Joe. He used to love telling a joke Joe Kennedy used to tell him: 'Never
trust an Irishman with a bottle of booze or a Jew with a pack of matches.’"

Ironically, in April 1962, four insurance companies initiated lawsuits
against Rosenbloom, charging that he had filed false reports about a fire at
his Margate, New Jersey, house on September 5, 1950. The companies hired a
Miami private investigator, Sam Benton, to look into the charges that
Rosenbloom had hired an arsonist to burn down his house in order to collect
the fire insurance. The companies charged that Rosenbloom had received
$152,529 on the basis of the false reports. The companies accused Rosenbloom
of making "false statements intending to deceive and defraud" them. The suit
demanded repayment of the amount given to Rosenbloom, along with 6 percent
interest and $500,000 in punitive damages.

And that was only the beginning.

Rosenbloom's old friend Mike McLaney still had been experiencing severe
financial troubles a year after Castro took over Cuba and closed down the
casinos, which cost McLaney and his two partners, Rosenbloom and Chesler, a
fortune. Rosenbloom and Chesler could afford it, but McLaney could not.

In the wake of the fall of Cuba, McLaney claimed that Rosenbloom had reneged
on a deal to permit him to repurchase his stock in Universal Controls at the
original sale price. Consequently, McLaney sued Rosenbloom in September 1960
for $4.25 million. U.S. District judge Joseph Lieb of Miami dismissed
McLaney's suit and sealed all the evidence in the case, which included a
series of damaging affidavits and depositions filed against Rosenbloom.

In October 1962, private investigator Benton,

 The differences between capitalism (monopoly or otherwise) and communism
are profound.

Oh they are, huh? Then list these differences, please, so we can have
cogent discourse that rises above the puerile level of "love it or leave
it."

This "state monopoloy capitalism" is the sort Orwellian wordplay which
seeks to obfuscate the real differences between capitalist economies where
consumer demand, private ownership and profit
incentives guide the economy delivering the society of plenty that most of
us live in,

To confuse "capitalism" with free enterprise is itself an "Orwellian" word
play. Without the armed might of the state to enforce their monopoly the
capitalists are nothing but a pack of cards. This is a fascist economy, by
definition. "Fascism," stated Mussolini so ever concisely, "is
corporatism."

Most of us do not live in a "society of plenty." Half of humanity is
malnourished, That means three billion people went to bed hungry last
night and couldn't do anything about it. Capitalism did that to them. Is
that what you condone? Is this how you want the rest of us to live so that
you personally can wallow in your own creature comforts? If so, sir, you
are morally bankrupt.

You're also not paying attention. Even here in America one out of five,
perhaps even one out of four, children grow up in poverty. The typical
American family needs two, or even three, jobs to break even and is  only
a couple of pay checks from being out in the street. Real wages have gone
steadily downward for decades. In 1968, when I was twenty I lived on
Manhattan. I paid $80 a month for a one bedroom apartment. I made $100 a
week working twelve hour shifts in the back office of Walston  Co, 54
Wall St., a brokerage that no longer exists. My wife stayed home with my
infant son. We could afford to eat out a couple times a week. A good steak
cost two bucks. Gasoline was $.29. Try that today.

Society of plenty? Gimme a break. Business may be booming, but labor is
taking it up the butt.

This is a sick society. Paper sleeps in a palace and people sleep in the
street. In a place like that it's immoral to stand around and do nothing
about it. We have a moral duty to change things. To defend such a system
is morally remiss. In Christian terms, it is a "sin."

and communist economies where state planning, state ownership, and state
direction, delivers shortages, sloth and apathy.

As opposed to what? In a capitalist society poverty delivers the
shortages, only the rich  can indulge in "sloth" and apathy is a way of
life.

Of course, if you think you can convince someone who has lived in a
Communist country that the material reality of their lifestyle was no
different from life in the "state monopoly capitalist" US go ahead.

Well let's see. They had free education, token rent and universal health
care.  We graduate functional illiterates, pay through the nose for the
"privilege" of living indoors and forty million of us have no health care
coverage  at all while the rest of us are the victims of a corrupt health
care system that has been bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical
industry.

Big deal.

The only real substantive difference between the USA Inc. system and the
USSR Inc. system is one has better pay and the other has better benefits.
In both systems a handful of ruthless villians live in luxury and the rest
of the people work to support them. Both systems corrupt the soul by
commodifying time. Time is the very stuff of life itself. To put a price
on time is to put a price on life. It makes commodities of us all. It
makes human beings, you and I included, into things to be bought and sold
an hour at a time.

And another thing, the use of the term "state monopoly capitalist" reeks
of the sort of backsliding wordplay one even gets from my favourite
bugbear, Noam Chomsky, who in his socialist idealism, regularly redefines
the former Communist bloc as "state capitalist",

On this point, at least, Chomsky is 100% correct. Where his reasoning
fails is when he discounts the fascist crypto-coup of 1963 as a factor in
shaping American life today. But, hey, nobody's right about everything.


thus freeing his preferred way of life


This is a gross misrepresentation on your part. I dare you to produce a
single sentence from Chomsky's work in which he says he "prefers" state
monopoly capitalism. Be sure to include the ISBN and the page number.

from the burden of its profound  demonstrable failure

Seventy five  years  of embargo, a crippling invasion that destroyed the
best part of the country and killed between twenty and fifty million
people, a burdensome defence budget forced upon them for forty years  by
the US, and the disaster at Chernobyl destroyed the Soviet economy. I
sincerely hope that a stunning revelation, typically fifty years late,
wont someday reveal that Chernobyl wasn't the work of a Stealth plane and
a smart bomb. If it was, it was the single most successful sortie in the
history warfare.

1. Which One of You Is the Admiral?

2. A Deadly Mistake



1. Which One of You Is the Admiral?

WESTERN AUSTRALIA, Nov. 5 - Our Sydney hosts were more than kind.  In fact, 
they made us feel almost embarrassed.

When my wife and I disembarked at the Sydney airport from the Perth-Sydney 
flight on Oct. 29, having spent the four hours or so snoozing in the back 
row of the economy class, right next to the Boeing 767's toilets, we were 
met by a Sydney Serbian National Federation (SNF) delegation of some half a 
dozen people.  And by a uniformed chauffeur holding a large sign with the 
name "Djurdjevic" professionally printed on it.

But our biggest surprise was awaiting us when we left the Sydney domestic 
terminal building.  A huge white stretch limo was parked curbside, complete 
with a bar and enough leg room for a giraffe.

"Who's getting married at the airport?" I blurted out loud.

"That's for you," one of the hosts explained.

"For me?  You're kidding."

They weren't.  We drove on, my wife and I in the back seats, and Srecko 
Popovic, an SNF board member, taking the leather lounge sofa at least seven 
to eight feet long.

"Would you like a cognac?" he asked, pointing to the bar.

"No, thanks," my wife and I both replied almost in the same breath, looking 
at each other with incredulity.  After all, it was just after noon.  And we 
haven't had lunch, either.

"You really shouldn't have gone to all this trouble," I said.

"It's okay," Mr. Popovic replied.  "The driver is a Sydney Serb who is in 
the limo business.  We got a special rate.  He had seen you on TV."

A mobile phone rang.  ("Everybody" in Australia these days has mobile 
phones!  Considering this continent's relatively small human population, 
wonder how long it will be before Telstra comes out with kangaroo or emu 
versions?).

"We're just going to park over there for a few minutes," we were informed, 
as the SNF president, Ilija Glisic, had just arrived at the airport and 
would like to greet us personally.

"You shouldn't have…" I started saying to Mr. Glisic, once we met, pointing 
to the gleaming white limo.

"Oh, why not?" he quipped with a big broad smile.

It was a long ride to downtown Sydney - matching the size of the vehicle, I 
thought - probably the longest ride we've ever taken to reach the city from 
the airport.  And it was all mostly due to a tremendous amount of 
construction going on in this city trying to get ready for the Olympics 2000.

But there are some good things about long rides.  Having a chance to talk 
is one of them.

Our driver, Vladimir Kovak, was an open book, once he started talking.  We 
learned that his family's homestead was within a stone throw away from the 
Pec Patriarchate in Kosovo (the ancient seat of the Serbian Orthodox 
Church).  But that his family had all "emigrated" from Kosovo to Paracin, a 
town in central Serbia, a long time before the more recent troubles began.

Amid a myriad of short stories about the VIPs he had driven, which Mr. 
Kovak (originally Kovacevic) shared with us during our long ride, the 
"admiral story" stood out.

"I have a contract with the (Sydney) Intercontinental Hotel, and so one 
day, I was supposed to drive two American couples," he said.  "I was told 
that one of the men was an admiral in the U.S. Navy."

Not lacking any gumption, the limo driver turned around and informed his 
foursome VIP entourage that he was a Serb.  "Which one of you is the 
admiral?" he proceeded to interrogate them.

One of the VIP ladies, evidently fearful about the motives of a Serb in 
Sydney replied: "And why do you want to know?"

"Because I want to tell him that he missed!  NATO bombed the wooden 
clapboard dummies of the Serb tanks and airplanes.  And civilians."

We all laughed.  As we suspect the American naval VIP entourage did.

"In the end, I got a $1,000-tip out of that trip," Mr. Kovak said.

"A $1,000-tip from a civil servant of the United States government?" I 
repeated.  "Guess some government work does pay well.  Maybe we should all 
get into the business of shooting the wooden Serb clapboard dummies?"

Afterward, I felt sorry this evidently entrepreneurial Serb didn't get to 
drive some real NATO dummies.  Such as Gen. Wesley Kanne Clark.  Or Madam 
Halfbright.  Gosh… he might have retired on

(AP) ASSOCIATED PROPAGANDA
HISTORY OF A "NEWS" SERVICE
By Uri Dowbenko
Media Columnist
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The secret history of the Associated Press reveals a pro-establishment,
anti-populist bias that stretches all the way back to its origin.
As an aside to a true life crime story, historian J. Anthony Lukas describes
the beginnings of the ubiquitous AP in his book Big Trouble.
Lukas contends that in the early days of the twentieth century, "Americans
were aghast that a great octopus like the AP could embrace eight hundred
member papers, putting its product before as many as twenty-five million
readers every day."
Even then, AP's homogenized and biased stories, masquerading as "objective"
journalism, were offensive to American readers.
"'Here,' wrote one stupefied editor, 'is the most tremendous engine for power
that ever existed in this world. If you can conceive all the power ever
wielded by the great autocrats of history, even that would be less than the
power now wielded by the Associated Press.'"
Of course, this assessment was made long before the inevitable orchestration
of radio, television and the press into what CIA operative Frank Wisner liked
to call the "Might Wurlitzer" of Big Media Cartel propaganda.
"The AP's puissance was measured as much by organizational rigor as by sheer
size, for in an era of trusts, it was one of the nation's most effective
monopolies," continues Lukas.
"A newspaper with a precious AP franchise was protected against any
competitor in its territory seeking one, while the AP itself had dread powers
to discipline a paper that dealt with a rival news service."
A parallel situation in history, of course, is the Rockefeller-controlled
Standard Oil Trust, which through corporate-mob tactics, indistinguishable
from organized crime, succeeded in monopolizing the entire oil industry in
the United States.
But how did AP get that way?
"In 1898, facing charges of trafficking with the enemy, the Chicago
'InterOcean' challenged the AP's structure in court," writes Lukas. "When the
Illinois Supreme Court upheld the suit, finding that the AP was 'so affected
with a public duty' that it must provide its news to any applicant, the AP
abruptly dissolved as an Illinois corporation and reorganized in New York,
this time not as a business corporation but as a mutual association - like a
literary society or fishing club - permitting it arbitrarily to expel any memb
er who protested publicly against the way the organization was run.
Henceforth all insurgency was doomed."
In its new incarnation, disguised as a co-operative, Associated Press was
able to smash any resistance to its heavy-handed tactics.
In a prescient analysis of today's interlocking corporate-based monopoly
media cartel, Lukas writes that "to its critics, the AP was fond of stressing
this 'mutuality,' arguing that it was merely a 'clearing house' drawing news
primarily from its members and distributing it to other members."
"In fact, the AP stood for the notion that news was private property,
fiercely retaliating against anyone who poached on its preserve," reveals
Lukas. "It was dominated by an inner circle of large metropolitan newspapers
that at the time of the service's reincarnation in 1900 had each purchased a
thousand dollars in bonds worth forty votes, compared to the single vote held
by ordinary members."
Redolent of the operation of the Federal Reserve and its privately-owned
magical money machine, the newsmongers of Associated Press have a similar
monopoly in the distribution of what passes for "information" and a daily
record of events which eventually become "history."
"Buttressed by this margin, old-guard papers like the Chicago Tribune and the
Washington Star were firmly in the saddle," continues Lukas. "Where it drew
news from a member paper, which generally supported the community's most
substantial interests, the AP reflected the outlook of that city's power
structure."
Currently, AP's offices in New York's Rockefeller Center reflect the
globalist nature of the media establishment's concerns for tight rigid news
control and the subsequent molding of public opinion.
For Upton Sinclair, writes Lukas, "the AP's vast reach ensured that American
public opinion was 'poisoned at the source.'" (By the way, where does your
hometown paper get its so-called "news"?)
"In large cities and some state capitals, the AP maintained bureaus staffed
by its own men, and to cover major events, it dispatched its own reporters,"
writes Lukas. "But that did little to diversify the AP's menu. To Oswald
Garrison Villard of New York's Evening Post, the AP had 'always bowed down
before authority and rarely ever stood up to the government in any
controversy.'"
AP remains the same yesterday, today, and most

 COURAGE
 by Carla Binion

 After reading what follows, you may ask, as I have recently:  Where are the
 people of courage today?  Where are the bold statesmen in politics, the
 aggressive, honest journalists?  Why don't larger numbers of influential
 politicians and journalists stand up and speak out about what has gone wrong
 with our nation?  The sources for much of the following information are
 journalist Robert Parry's LOST HISTORY, 1999, and Parry's FOOLING AMERICA,
 1992.  Parry has worked as a Newsweek correspondent and as a reporter for PBS
 Frontline.

 What is the missing link between the aggressive, investigative Watergate
 press corps of the 1970s and the tabloidish Monica Lewinsky media of the
 1990s?  Bob Parry says the 1970s press corps made life too difficult for U.S.
 intelligence agencies as those agencies tried to conduct their clandestine
 wars around the world without public scrutiny.  The CIA/military goals then
 became: (1) to limit news media coverage, and (2) to control public opinion
 by convincing influential Americans and much of the press corps that the
 obvious facts before them were not the real facts.

 National security secrets were exposed by senate investigating committees
 (the Church and Pike committees) by the mid-1970s.  Those committees exposed
 CIA scandals such as Mafia-connected assassination plots, drug experiments on
 unsuspecting citizens, spying on Americans and so forth.  During the 1970s,
 an era of relative openness, those scandals appeared routinely in the
 newspapers and on TV.  George Bush became CIA director in 1976, and the CIA
 began to retaliate.  President Reagan, in the 1980s, acted even more
 aggressively by imposing tougher security regulations to keep the public in
 the dark and punish those who disclosed CIA abuses.

 Reagan also implemented an Orwellian "perception management" program designed
 to control public opinion regarding the administration's policy arguments.
 That program was based at the National Security Council and was run by CIA
 director William Casey.  To minimize resistance to Reagan's policies, Casey
 assigned "psy-war" experts to generate public support for the president.  The
 experts analyzed "what excited or frightened the American people" and
 exploited it.  When the propaganda operation was exposed during the
 Iran-contra investigation in 1987, participants downplayed its impact,
 although the public's lack of resistance to Iran-contra and the media's lack
 of coverage were proof the propaganda program had been effective.

 Journalists knew that working against Reagan/Casey would lower their earning
 potential and status.  In 1986, ABC News's Karen Burnes ran into resistance
 when she pursued stories about contra corruption and drug smuggling.  Bob
 Parry quotes Karen Burnes (Rolling Stone, September 10, 1987, p. 48)  "It
 takes months and months to do this story.  If I'm on the air for [a total of
 only] five minutes, it doesn't look good on the computer.  If you're someone
 who perceives success as air time, this is not a way to be successful."

 Bob Parry faced the same pressure when he investigated Iran-contra.  In 1986,
 the Miami Herald's Alfonso Chardy told Parry that the Reagan "public
 diplomacy" apparatus was trashing Parry's reputation solely because Parry was
 doing critical reporting on Iran-contra.  Parry's reports had consistently
 turned out to be true.  In the same year, Parry was told by a Reagan "public
 displomacy" official that an AP colleague who pursued Iran-contra was a
 "Sandinista agent," though there was no evidence for the smear.  (Parry's
 FOOLING AMERICA, 1991, pp. 210, 211.)

 Reagan tried to control the public as well as the press.  The few American
 citizens who protested Iran-contra misdeeds were harassed.  Over four years
 starting in 1981, 52 FBI field officers investigated citizens who tried to
 organize and challenge Reagan's Central American policies.  The National
 Security Council staff had FBI agents interrogate anti-contra Americans.

 Security consultant Philip Mabry said that in 1984 Oliver North urged Mabry
 and others to investigate contra opponents.  Mabry told the Boston Globe:
 "Ollie told me that if the FBI received letters from five or six unrelated
 sources all requesting an investigation of the same groups, that would give
 the Bureau a mandate to go ahead and investigate."  (The Boston Globe,
 February 29, 1988.)

 While Reagan's FBI harassed American citizens, the CIA's Casey-Raymond
 "perception management" team harassed out-of-step journalists.  When Reagan
 got mad over CBS News coverage of Nicaragua, his diplomacy man, Otto Reich,
 made a trip to the CBS Washington office.  Reagan's Secretary of State George
 Schultz sent a memo to Reagan saying Reich

training accidents. Of course there are always those improbable and mysterious 
type suicides (eg three gunshots to the chest boorda style with no powder burns, 
etc., etc.) Upper level sub-euro usa minions will think they are "above 
all this" and will be "taken care of in the larger scope of things." 
They sure will be taken care of, but "night of the longknives" style! As 
this onion gets peeled, there will be numerous uprisings within and between many 
groups. 

Recurrent, repititive "burning of the reichstag" type events 
will be used to elicit  impose martial law and employ fema, the aphabetss 
and the military against their own people and families, thus insuring complete 
soicial and moral destruction of american, and this will prove even better than 
what drug importinghas accomplished. We'll see storm tropoers against the

In doing a web search of WRT Energy, I came up with the following hit:

Prosecutor: FBI investigating former official of WRT Energy
The Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA), February 20, 1999
By Peter Shinkle
The FBI is investigating a former official of the defunct WRT Energy Corp.
who sent $2.6 million to an account in the Turks and Caicos Islands, a
federal prosecutor said Friday.
The man, James Florence, already faces a civil lawsuit accusing him of
defrauding WRT. The federal judge in that case has ordered Florence not to
move the money from the offshore account.

U.S. Attorney Mike Skinner said Friday his office normally does not reveal
its investigations, but did so in this case so the attorneys suing Florence
could "secure the offshore account." The FBI probe is the latest twist in
the sprawling litigation over WRT, an independent oil company operating in
South Louisiana. WRT filed for bankruptcy protection from its creditors in
1996, shortly after writing down the value of its oil leases by $100
million.

Even by the standards of Louisiana's sometimes rough-and-tumble oil
industry, the case of WRT seems, well, unusual.

Attorneys seeking to recover cash for creditors have sued an array of
defendants including a trust set up by L. Ron Hubbard, the deceased founder
of the Church of Scientology; two leading Wall Street investment firms;
former Gov. Edwin Edwards' son, Stephen; an associate of the former
governor; and WRT's directors and officers. At least 10 of the suits make
allegations of fraud.

The massive litigation over the company's failure inching through U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Opelousas. One case where there have been developments
is that of Florence, a Houstonian who was WRT's director of marketing and
whose tasks at the company included selling WRT's oil and gas to other
companies. At the same time as he worked for WRT, Florence set up his own
company, Tri-Deck Oil  Gas Inc., to act as an intermediary, buying WRT's
oil and selling it to larger companies, he has said.

Meanwhile, WRT's former president, Steven McGuire, has said he cannot recall
signing WRT's oil sales contract with Tri-Deck, although McGuire's signature
appears on the contract.

Florence has said he got $2.6 million from selling WRT's oil, and sent that
money to the offshore account after discussions with Gordon Kerr, an
attorney in the Turks and Caicos Islands. But Florence said in a sworn
statement he could not recall how he learned about the account or when he
transferred the money, though it might have been in 1996.

Florence also said he sent the money as a "blind investment," making it
impossible for him to get any information about the money.

In a sworn deposition in November, Florence professed ignorance about his
offshore arrangement with Kerr.

"I don't know what a blind investment is, but it was made based on my
conversations with him," Florence said.

He said he made the investment "with expectations of great
returns."Attorneys for a trust representing WRT's creditors have asserted
that Florence defrauded WRT though the oil marketing contract, perhaps with
McGuire's help. Florence has repeatedly blocked efforts to uncover
information about the money, the attorneys claimed.

Florence has denied those claims and said he intends to pay WRT any money he
owes the company for selling its oil.

On Friday, Skinner acknowledged the U.S. Attorney's Office is investigating
Florence, but said he could not comment on whether his office is probing
other dealings by WRT.

"It's generally our policy not to even confirm that an investigation is
under way," he said.

The creditors trust - headed by former New York City comptroller Harrison
Goldin - pointed to the criminal investigation when it asked U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Gerald Schiff to block movement of the money from the account.
Florence "would possibly flee and dissipate the funds," Kerry Brennan, an
attorney for Goldin's law firm, Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam  Roberts of New
York City, said in an affidavit.

On Dec. 28, Judge Schiff, who is overseeing the case, ordered Florence not
to move the money and "not to take any steps to thwart" the trust from
getting information about it.

In 1997, an independent bankruptcy examiner reported that he found numerous
transfers of funds by WRT and people associated with the company for which
there was no explanation or for which WRT received little or no value.

Last year, Judge Schiff approved a partial resolution of the bankruptcy in
which an Oklahoma oil company bought WRT's oilfield leases and other assets.
Yet with WRT's creditors claiming they are still owed more than $100
million, Schiff set up trust headed by Goldin to bring litigation to recoup
funds for the creditors.

Here are some snapshots of the litigation: Scientology founder Hubbard
invested money in a company run by McGuire, according to Goldin's attorneys.
WRT improperly paid out some

Chinese Influence on the Rise in Pyongyang


Summary

North Korean special units were called in to quell riots in North
Hamgyong province in mid-October, according to reports in South
Korean and Chinese media this week.  The riots came as border
security in North Korea and China was being tightened, and more
attention paid to the status of North Koreans crossing the border
illegally. With Chinese-North Korean ties generally on the mend,
the threat of increased internal instability in North Korea may
lead Beijing to accelerate its assistance to - and influence in -
Pyongyang.


Analysis

A riot broke out Oct. 11 in North Korea's North Hamgyong Province,
which borders both China and Russia, according to Chinese and South
Korean media reports published this week.  North Korea mobilized an
elite border guard unit to quash the riots, which took place near
the northwestern border city of Onsong.  The special unit responded
with helicopters and ground forces, and followed up with a search
operation to find the leaders of the riot and "outside impure
elements."

North Korea has long harnessed the fear of social instability to
gain leverage in dealings with other nations. By playing up
outsiders' paranoia that a collapsing regime may resort to any
measure - including launching a suicide attack on South Korea - it
wins economic humanitarian assistance while maintaining its
isolation. [ http://www.stratfor.com/asia/aiuarchive/a981222.htm ]

But the riot near Onsong suggests that unrest in some outlying
regions of the country may be near the breaking point.  This does
not mean that a general uprising against Kim Jong Il's government
is near, but that localized dissatisfaction with the current
economic and political situation could lead to eruptions of
violence, requiring military intervention. Signs of instability -
especially real, not engineered, instability - could win Korea
support from a wary China.

The riots came amid tightened border security by both North Korea
and China, designed to stem the flow of illegal North Korean
citizens seeking food and medicine across the Tumen River in China.
While many of the North Koreans crossing into China are reportedly
seeking refugee status, both sides oppose calling them refugees out
of fear that granting such status would trigger a massive increase
in the number of North Koreans crossing into China.

The incident in Onsong seems to be isolated, at least for now.
Potential unrest appears confined to the border areas, where
political and ideological exiles are often sent, and news of the
outside is easier to obtain. With North Korea increasing economic
and social exchanges with other nations to bolster its shrinking
economy, such internal dissatisfaction could spread.

As North Korea balances its financial distress with the need to
remain insulated from the rest of the world, there are other signs
that the regime's security may be threatened.  Kim Jong Il's eldest
son, Kim Jong Nam, has taken a post in the Ministry of Public
Security, an early step toward succeeding his father. The elder
Kim's rise to power following his father Kim Il Sung's death was a
slow process, marked by purges in the government ranks.

Firmly establishing Kim Yong Nam as his successor could be an
attempt to counter a threat against Kim Jong Il's authority.
Placing his son in a position of public security, tasked with
information gathering and finding dissidents, signals to both the
citizens of North Korea and to potential opponents that the Kim
Dynasty will continue. By emphasizing the dynastic succession
implemented by his father, Kim Jong Il hopes to rekindle public
affection for North Korea's leadership, which has dwindled without
Kim Il Sung's charismatic presence.

While the signals out of North Korea may be simply more false signs
of imminent collapse, the unrest in the north and potential splits
in Pyongyang suggest the precarious situation may be more than a
carefully crafted diplomatic bargaining tool.  A truly destabilized
North Korea poses a threat not only to South Korea and the U.S.
forces there, but also to China, Russia and possibly Japan.  While
South Korea, the United States and even to some extent Japan have
accelerated contact with North Korea, it is China that has recently
forged the closest ties.

China has already been moving to strengthen relations with

Interference
Dan E. Moldea©1989
William Morrow and Company, Inc.
New York, NY
Interestingly, accompanying Wexler's application for the
license were the names of three people who could vouch for his character,
one
of whom was Modell's longtime friend George M. Steinbrenner III of
Cleveland,
the president of American Ship Building Company and later the owner of the
New York Yankees major-league baseball team. Dan Topping and Del Webb sold
their interests in the New York Yankees to the Columbia Broadcasting System
in 1964. In 1973, Steinbrenner and his "committee of fifteen" purchased the
team from CBS. Among Steinbrenner's partners in the Yankees were auto
executive John DeLorean, Nelson Bunker Hunt, and Ohio real estate tycoon
Marvin Warner.

Marvin Warner was much more than a real estate tycoon.  See Pete Brewton's
book, page 280:

[In 1980 and 1981] Birbragher was laundering the cartel's drug money through
Great American Bank...owned by Marvin Warner, an Alabama native whose
businesses were based out of Cincinnati.  Like Charles Keating, his fellow
Cincinnatian, who also got caught in the savings-and-loan debacle, Warner is
full of arrogance, bluster and hubris, a man who thought his political
connections and influence mongering would save him, and when it didn't,
carped bitterly about government interference.

Warner got his start building houses after World War II.  In the late 1950s,
he bought Home State Savings in Ohio and prospered, investing in race horses
and professional sports teams.  In 1977, his support of Democrats paid off
when President Jimmy Carter appointed him U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland.
During his absence overseas, Warner hired Donald E. Beazley, a Miami banker
and former federal bank examiner, to run Great American.

Before Beazley joined Warner he had worked for a while for Guillermo
Hernandez-Cartaya, according to author James Ring Adams in The Big Fix.  CIA
asset Hernandez-Cartaya had gotten involved with Warner's close associates
at the fraud-infested E.S.M. Securities.  In fact, E.S.M. files contained a
note from Hernandez-Cartaya thanking an E.S.M. principal for his offer to
help in the sale or purchase of Jefferson Savings and Loan in McAllen,
Texas, from Lloyd Bentsen's family.
[In case you aren't familiar with Texas geography, McAllen is on the Mexican
border.]

When Warner returned from Switzerland in 1979, he took Beazley's place at
Great American Bank.  Beazley then jumped to the presidency of the Nugan
Hand Bank in Australia.  That bank, the subject of a book by Jonathan
Kwitny, The Crimes of Patriots, was crawling with ex-CIA (if there is such a
things as ex-CIA) and former high-ranking military officials, and was used
in drug-money laundering, weapons transactions and the cheating of American
investors, among other things...

[Then Brewton goes  on to Paul Helliwell, Castle Bank  Trust, Edwin Wilson,
Ted Shackley, etc.]

After Beazley left Nugan Hand..., he returned to Florida banking...as
president of City National Bank of Miami...[which] was owned by Alberto
Duque, a Colombian whose father was a wealthy coffee magnate.  The attorney
for the bank was Stephen Arky, Marvin Warner's son-in-law

Arky committed suicide in July 1985 after the E.S.M. Government Securities
fraud scandal broke.  The collapse of E.S.M. wrecked the Home State Savings
of Arky's father-in-law, Warner, and led to Warner's conviction for fraud.
[Arky] was praised by his former boss at the SEC, where Arky worked
after getting out of law school.  "He was one of my real success stories,"
Stanley Sporkin, then general counsel to the CIA, told the Miami Herald.
[Sporkin was William Casey's protege.]

...In 1983, just days before Duque's empire started collapsing, Jeb Bush
accompanied Duque on one of his private planes to the inauguration of the
President of Costa Rica.  At the time, Jeb and his partner, Armando Codina,
were building a 30-story office building in downtown Miami that was to be
the new headquarters of Duque's General Coffee Corporation.

[Then Brewton moves on to a discussion of Marvin Warner's involvement in
General Homes, a corporation which had shifted from Phoenix to Houston,
engaging in construction of residential homes.  Warner's American Savings 
Loan bought 43% of General Homes in Jan. 1983.  This were where my own
personal research started.]

 Bill: Thanks for the 1998 Memories

 (depending on what the word "thanks" means)

 by Jack Ryan


 Looking back on 1998 is a heady, almost surreal exercise. What a year.
 Bill Clinton's Sexgate brought to the world stage so many memorable
 moments and characters, that I defy anyone to chronicle from memory the
 order of events that L'affaire Lewinsky entailed. I'm quite certain your
 head would explode into little cranium chunks should you attempt it.

 Let me save your sanity and your cranium. So many memories; so few
 months to have crammed them into. It is almost with a sense of sorrow
 and loss that I say good-bye to 1998. There is no bitterness or
 recalcitrance as I bid adieu, for I say good-bye in the manner one might
 wave good-bye to a beloved grandmother, or perhaps as Bill Clinton might
 have once waved good-bye to his beloved humidor, Monica S. Lewinsky. For
 as we say good-bye today, we can be certain that we shall meet again on
 the morrow--in the form of 1999. Here's hoping that the new year will be
 as unique and memorable in the history books.

 As for 1998, thanks, Bill Clinton, for the memories.

 Though the American people have always known you to be a lying rogue,
 they overlooked that in two elections. Although they knew you to be less
 than honest, they took a Shakespearean read, knowing that you could
 sometimes be honest by chance. You gave us so many enchanting moments
 this year. Your contributions to American society in 1998 had less to do
 with legislation than it did with masturbation. It had less to do with
 pounding the pulpit than it with did with pounding a porker. You taught
 us many things we might not have otherwise discovered for ourselves.

 We now know that "is" may not always be. We now know that no one is
 actually ever "alone"; although there are 5 billion other souls on this
 planet who would quibble with that silly notion. We now know that while
 you chose to protest your government during Vietnam, you have deployed,
 dispersed, and put into harm's way the U.S. military more times than any
 president before you . Looking back through the foggy and sometimes
 cryptic looking-glass of time, we now know you spent 50 million dollars
 in cruise missile currency to destroy a Sudanese aspirin factory-- the
 same day that Harmonica Lewinsky gave her grand jury testimony. We said
 it was "Wag the Dog." You said, in all your phony indignation, that it
 wasn't. We think thou doth protest too much.

 Mr. Clinton, you also taught us that Monica's loose lips can--and indeed
 did--sink ships. We will never know how many innocent Iraqis died in
 your Wag the Willy attack recently. But we can be fairly certain that
 your attack had more to do with the result of Monica's trash talk about
 your meat missile, than it did with Hussein's SCUD missiles.

 And thanks for the lessons, Bill. You taught us how to mislead, lie,
 equivocate and quibble. The lessons were simple and understandable: From
 January to December, you showed us how to perjure ourselves in 12 easy
 lessons. Now we know that O.J. Simpson simply mislead the prosecutors
 and the jury. He never lied--at least not to the Clinton standard of
 lying. You, Mr. Clinton, raised the perjury bar so high that it would
 take a Saturn 5 heavy launch vehicle to get over it. Yea, verily,
 perhaps like Apollo 13, your tale will one day grace the silver screen.

 "Hillary, we have a problem."

 Thanks, Bill, for the intriguing personalities you brought to national
 prominence. My Sundays would not have been complete without my
 cornflakes and the plethora of nabobs and nincompoops who paraded out to
 defend your considerable rear end. Thanks for Rahm Emanuel, who never
 met a convoluted sentence he did not like. Rahm proved to us that even a
 man with all the passion and emotion of a week-old cadaver could
 regurgitate the lies you fed him.

 Thank you, Bill, for Paul Begala. The swami of smarm had his legs cut
 out from under him after your August 17th temper tantrum. But Paul
 showed us, like others under you (or kneeling), that there is no depth
 too low in which one can sink for a cause. He shaved his beard off in
 the hope we would not recognize him. It didn't work.

 Thanks, Bill, for Chester James Carville. For months, Corporal Cueball
 Carville raged his own private "Wah" against your nemesis and fellow Man
 of the Year, Judge Kenneth Starr. For months, he badmouthed, harangued
 and swamped the airwaves with vitriol, lies and half-truths. What a
 soldier, you had there, Bill. The end result of this war was your
 impeachment. James deserves a promotion.

 We thank you, Bill, for Ann Lewis and her horn-blowing brother, Barney
 Frank. Ann Lewis suggested on a

Mafia West

There has always been something about Arizona that has attracted the outlaw.
Bank robbers, claim jumpers, hired gunfighters, and such famous badmen as the
Hole in the Wall Gang and Butch Cassidy are synonymous with the Old West and
Arizona's history. In the early days, it was the state's proximity to Mexico
and its wide-open, rugged terrain that attracted the old-style hoodlums. The
state had room to hide in and a foreign border to flee to should legal
pursuit be too intense.

In the twentieth century, crime and criminals are more sophisticated. Yet
Arizona, which somehow has remained a step or two behind the rest of the
country, remains equally appealing to the criminal. Mexico is no longer a
sanctuary: today it is almost like a business partner for the American
hoodlum, a place where the raw material—opium—comes from for the mob's main
businessnarcotics. And the state's wide-open spaces, while still plentiful,
are more aesthetic than protective. Instead, Arizona's chief appeal to the
criminal lies in the cumulative effect of the outlaw's heritage, the
attitudes and actions accepted through centuries of apathy. For the criminal,
Arizona is a good place to do business. It is a state where the outlaw has
always flourished. Indeed, even today, in such tourist attractions as
Tombstone and Old Tucson, the outlaw is celebrated with twice-daily mock
shoot-outs by actors and stunt men.

The crudeness is not as blatant as it was in the old days. Phoenix and Tucson
both abound in cultural activities. There are excellent local theatres,
symphony orchestras, art museums. But just beneath the surface, much more
obvious than in most Eastern cities, is a macho-like respect for the
maverick, the man who makes his own rules, lives by his own law.

The Old West is not very old in Arizona.

It was that element of Arizona society that the IRE team would investigate
next. What the reporters would find was that, like the old-fashioned outlaw
who drifted West from back East, Arizona's new hoodlums were immigrants from
elsewhere. And, like the narcotics pouring across the Arizona border, the
state was being inundated with them.

Wendland and Drehsler returned from Mexico to find a surprising number of new
team members. The suite was crowded and the telephones so busy that it was
often all but impossible to find working space. Doug Kramer, a young reporter
from the Elyria Chronicle in Elyria, Ohio, had arrived for a couple of weeks'
work. Jerry Uhrhammer, a forty- three-year-old, mild-mannered writer for the E
ugene Register-Guard in Oregon, was there for an indefinite stay. So were
Steven Wick and David Freed from the Colorado Springs Sun. Ed Rooney, a
grizzled old police reporter from the Chicago Daily News, had given up ten
days of his vacation to come work on the Arizona project. He also paid his
own expenses.

Ross Becker, a tall, gangly, bearded young reporter who joined the project in
mid-November, was an anomaly among team members. He had next to no
substantive journalism experience and, instead of being recruited, talked his
way onto the team by simply pestering Greene. But he would be a full-time
member, with the project until its completion.

At twenty-four, Becker had been working out of a trailer on the
642-square-mile Zuni Indian reservation in New Mexico, covering Indian news
for the Gallup (New Mexico) Independent when he heard about the IRE team and
decided that he wanted to enlist. He tracked down Greene and began calling
the IRE office almost daily, begging for a chance. But Greene was concerned
about Becker's background. The kid had just over a year's experience in
newspapering, almost all of it with small papers in remote parts of the
Southwest. The Arizona project, Greene felt, would be over Becker's head. But
instead of flat-out telling the persistent young reporter to get lost, Greene
kept stalling him, hoping he'd get the hint. But Becker continued calling
each day. Finally, after Greene began refusing his calls, Becker got up one
morning at five-thirty, borrowed a girlfriend's car, and spent six hours on
the road, reaching Phoenix shortly before noon. From the lobby of the Adams,
he phoned the IRE office. Marge Cashel, the secretary, routinely told him
Greene was tied up in a meeting and would call Becker back.

"The hell he will,"  said Becker. "I'm downstairs and coming up to see him."

They met in Greene's connecting bedroom to the IRE suite. Becker told Greene
he realized his background was less than complete but vowed to make up for it
by enthusiasm. He said he'd do anything, even the dirty work and errand
running, he just wanted in. Each time Greene started to

 Redwood City, CA, September 28, 1999. Maxygen announced today that it
 has received a $6.7 million three-year grant from the Defense Advanced
 Research Agency (DARPA) to use its proprietary MolecularBreeding™
 directed evolution technology (also known as "DNA Shuffling") to develop
 aerosol-based vaccines to protect against a broad spectrum of pathogens.


 Aerosol delivery of prophylactic and therapeutic agents is potentially
the
 simplest and most cost-effective way to protect or treat humans and
 animals from disease epidemics. In addition to this recent DARPA grant,
 Maxygen is the recipient of two additional DARPA grants in the vaccine
 area. In February 1998, Maxygen received a $5.6 million grant to evolve
 novel DNA vectors for efficient delivery and expression of pathogen
 antigens, and in April 1999, the Company received a grant of $7.7 million
 to generate novel vaccine antigens for a wide range of pathogens.

 Maxygen, Inc., headquartered in Redwood City, CA is a private
 biotechnology company that is focused on the development of novel and
 improved commercial products using its proprietary MolecularBreeding™
 directed evolution technology for a variety of industries including human

Panama  the Biggest Blast of Y2K
Admiral Moorer's Testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee



Charles R. Hazard/Insight



To:  U.S. Senators and Representatives:

We the undersigned urge you to reassert and reconfirm U.S. military presence in
Panama in order to protect the Canal and to stop any future use of strategic bases
or ports in Panama by the Communist Chinese.

On December 31, 1999, Communist China is scheduled to take over a strategic
beachhead in the Western Hemisphere -- a port at each end of our Panama
Canal.

We cannot allow this to happen because Communist China is the greatest national
security threat to America for the foreseeable future.

Unless Congress acts now, we will be heading for disaster -- a missile crisis or a
crisis affecting America's most important military and commercial waterway.

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Thomas Moorer told the U.S.
Senate that "we are on what I consider to be a collision course with disaster. . . .
I truly can't remember a time when I have been more concerned about the
security of the country."

Time is short.  Please act now to stop Communist China from getting a foothold in Panama.  Please co-sponsor one of the resolutions on Panama

Denver/Bio-Chem Attack Alleged Imminent

We are forwarding this message from a trusted source in the Denver area,
who has provided much useful information to both "official" and
unofficial uncompromised investigators: for example, recently in the
Columbine school massacre and the murders of JFK Jr., wife and
sister-in-law.

 I've received information today--Sept.23, 1999--
from 2 of my sources, both of whom I trust, that the
Denver Metro area will be hit with a Bio-Chemical
attack sometime within the next month.

I've known of Bio-Chemicals being stored in the
Mountains just outside Denver, possibly in/on  Mt.
Evans, for quite some time. I've spent a lot of time
attempting to locate said Bio-Chemical weapons, and
the terrorists that hold them and guard them. They
are a conglomerate of "terrorists" in that some are
Mexican, some are Russian, some are Libyan, some are
Afghani, etc.

We anticipated this attack closer to the Y2K deadline,
but are not surprised at the accelerated date. We
believe this will be used as the excuse to declare
Martial Law, and of course remove what freedoms
we have left, after first killing between 300,000 -
400,000 people: population reduction, in other words.

Buy Gas masks and Bio-Chemical suits, now. As always,
these plans CAN be thwarted if we make this public
enough, albeit, for a brief period of time. Only God
and his son can ultimately put a stop to these bastards.
And they will, in their time.

Anyway, please pass this on to everyone you can
possibly think of an have them make this information
known as publicly as possible. Also, I hold you to your
promise of my complete anonymity.
Thanks.

 "According to God ALL humans are illegal" you write below. OK, I grant you
 that compared to Someone who has created the universe with its billions of
 stars x billions of galaxies (just for starters) we are more lowly than
 monkeys in a zoo who sense that there is a human keeper beyond the bars.
 Still, we read in Ottawa's Commons Debates from 1981, Doug Roche, MP's
 reference to a "Godless society" so by contrast we would expect there to
be
 a "Godly society". Even a primate like me can figure that out. Is there
more
 to all this than a lot of bananas we ask cogently?
Professor Mellert who got the October cover story of The Futurist
 (http://www.wfs.org/futurist.htm) suggests that the future of religion is
 that of a highly relativistic God. Well, I guess it depends on your
beliefs.
 And it depends on the TRUTHthe ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
In any case, I have been saying via Life Gazette, as tabloid in the
80's
 and online now, that this is the electric cool-aid acid test for "Religion
 Experts". And I believe it proves that at least Western churchianity from
 Protestant to Roman Catholic is a giant FRAUD. Vatican is an INSTITUTION
OF
 LIARS. It would be easy to prove me wrong.
 Look, this is easy to understand:

 FOR A PROFESSED RELIGION EXPERT FROM SALVATION ARMY TO ROMAN CATHOLIC TO
NOT
 KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A "GODLY SOCIETY" AND AN "UNGODLY SOCIETY" IS
 LIKE A DENTIST NOT KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HEALTHY TOOTH AND AN
 UNHEALTHY TOOTH.

 In 1891, Vatican made a call for a socio-economic-political "reformation"
 and that document, titled RERUM NOVARUM has been "updated" with the
vanities
 of popocrats ever since. Yet no articulation of a "Godly society" has been
 made. THIS IS PROOF OF A CENTURY OF FRAUD.

 Now Vatican is about to send its Numero Uno Liar, the pope, to India and
 Iraq. The motto of the Times of India is "Let Truth Prevail". And Jesus
 Christ said, "I came to tell the truth". So let us hear from Numero Uno
how
 his billion subjects on the planet with all their expertise would spell
out
 "Babylon II". Just across the sand, Kuwait is planning Subia, a brand new
 city for 260,000. Why not combine something old and something new? Build a
 brand new city, Babylon II, around the Babylon Restoration Project.
 This would be a GODLY SOCIETY. The Russians might even like it as a
shining
 light unto the nations, a multi-national city centre for their
"Multi-Poley"
 World Model as an antidote to the depraved US-led New World Order.

Re: [CTRL] Reptiles Rule the World Theory of David Icke

1999-01-03 Thread JAH Publications



Dear Eagle 1,

It is very hard to take David Icke seriously, after 
he claimed on television, and I saw him do it personally, to be Christ and that 
his wife was the incarnation of the Archangel Michael.

Anyone who really understands the Scriptures as 
Christ does because Christ is the Word (Scriptures) made flesh, would not make 
such a ridiculous statement about his wife, or about Christ, because Christ and 
the Archangel Michael are one and the same person. Christ is a title and not a 
name. Christ's (the Spiritual Being that inhabited the body called Jesus) real 
name is Prince Michael the Archangel.

So, I have difficulty taking anything David Icke 
says too seriously,

Peace be upon you,

[CTRL] Decoding Nazi Secrets

 -Caveat Lector-

NOVA Presents "Decoding Nazi Secrets"
http://www.pbs.org/nova/decoding/
Web site premiere: November 5, 1999
Broadcast: November 9, 1999
(NOVA usually airs Tuesday nights at 9 pm. Check your local listings.)

Explore the companion Web site to "Decoding Nazi Secrets," a two-hour
NOVA special that chronicles how the Allies succeeded in cracking the
infamous German message-coding machine, the Enigma. The program is
scheduled for broadcast on November 9, 1999. Here's what you'll find
online:

Crack the Ciphers
Jim Gillogly, who has been called "arguably the best non-government
cryptanalyst in the U.S." in the field of classical (historical)
cryptosystems, offers three World War II-style ciphers of
different levels of difficulty for viewers to try to break over a
two-week period (Nov. 5-19).

Send a Coded Message (Hot Science)
Manipulate an online version of an Enigma-like machine to encode
your own message, then e-mail that message to a friend with
instructions on how to decode it using a secret key.

A Simple Cipher (Hot Science)
Learn some of the tricks codebreakers use to solve ciphers, then
use your new talents to make sense of what looks like a bunch of
gibberish.

Are Web Transactions Safe?
Secret codes are not just for spies; they protect your online
credit-card purchases, for instance. This feature looks at all
the ways encryption affects you, with a special emphasis on the
Internet.

Mind of a Codebreaker
Led by Alan Turing, inventor of the computer, the codebreakers
of Bletchley Park were a brilliant, quirky bunch who broke the
Enigma in large part by learning to think like the German
codemakers themselves.

How the Enigma Works
The Enigma looks roughly like a typewriter, but it is infinitely
more complex, with fully 17,576 ring settings for each of 60
possible wheel orders -- and that is just to set it up for use.

Plus Resources and a Teacher's Guide.

Re: [CTRL] Tales of the Underclass

1999-01-03 Thread [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 -Caveat Lector-

 The differences between capitalism (monopoly or otherwise) and communism
are profound.

Oh they are, huh? Then list these differences, please, so we can have
cogent discourse that rises above the puerile level of "love it or leave it."

Capitalism: private ownership, supply and demand orientated economy, private
property.

Communism: state ownership, state economic planning, centralised political
control, single party state.

Forgive this apparent sparseness. I'm sure there are better words, but this
will have to do for the moment. But if you can't see the differences between
the US and the USSR then I'm stumped.

This "state monopoloy capitalism" is the sort Orwellian wordplay which
seeks to obfuscate the real differences between capitalist economies where
consumer demand, private ownership and profit
incentives guide the economy delivering the society of plenty that most of
us live in,

To confuse "capitalism" with free enterprise is itself an "Orwellian" word
play. Without the armed might of the state to enforce their monopoly the
capitalists are nothing but a pack of cards. This is a fascist economy, by
definition. "Fascism," stated Mussolini so ever concisely, "is corporatism."

Sorry, Nessie but you continue to confuse. Thus far we have according to you:
Capitalism=Communism=State Monopoly Capitalism=Corporatism=Fascism
=Crypto-Fascism. The only common thread seems to be the existence of state
power. You really need to go to college to sort yourself out.

Most of us do not live in a "society of plenty." Half of humanity is
malnourished, That means three billion people went to bed hungry last
night and couldn't do anything about it. Capitalism did that to them.

Prove that statistic. Prove that "Capitalism did that to them."

Is that what you condone? Is this how you want the rest of us to live so that
you personally can wallow in your own creature comforts? If so, sir, you
are morally bankrupt.

No. I think you're intellectually bankrupt.

You're also not paying attention. Even here in America one out of five,
perhaps even one out of four, children grow up in poverty. The typical
American family needs two, or even three, jobs to break even and is  only
a couple of pay checks from being out in the street. Real wages have gone
steadily downward for decades. In 1968, when I was twenty I lived on
Manhattan. I paid $80 a month for a one bedroom apartment. I made $100 a
week working twelve hour shifts in the back office of Walston  Co, 54
Wall St., a brokerage that no longer exists. My wife stayed home with my
infant son. We could afford to eat out a couple times a week. A good steak
cost two bucks. Gasoline was $.29. Try that today.

Society of plenty? Gimme a break. Business may be booming, but labor is
taking it up the butt.

This is a sick society. Paper sleeps in a palace and people sleep in the
street. In a place like that it's immoral to stand around and do nothing
about it. We have a moral duty to change things. To defend such a system
is morally remiss. In Christian terms, it is a "sin."



and communist economies where state planning, state ownership, and state
direction, delivers shortages, sloth and apathy.

As opposed to what? In a capitalist society poverty delivers the
shortages, only the rich  can indulge in "sloth" and apathy is a way of
life.



Of course, if you think you can convince someone who has lived in a
Communist country that the material reality of their lifestyle was no
different from life in the "state monopoly capitalist" US go ahead.

Well let's see. They had free education, token rent and universal health
care.

And free speech, plenty of food, the right to travel where they liked, watch
they wanted, not to vote, they don't have to join any political parties if
they don't want to, multi-party elections, to own a house, car, various other
goods. Oh sorry, that's the capitalist world. For a moment I actually
believed you said they were the same. I'm over it now.

We graduate functional illiterates,

You didn't once. And isn't that limited to the state education system?

pay through the nose for the "privilege" of living indoors

It's a free country. If you want to sleep under the stars it's not illegal.

and forty million of us have no health care coverage  at all while the rest
of us are the victims of a corrupt health care system that has been bought
and paid for by the pharmaceutical industry.

Yes, people used to wax lyrical about how brilliant the Soviet health care
system was. But some people associate the application of such measures to the
US a little too much with state interference and state planning.

The only real substantive difference between the USA Inc. system and the
USSR Inc. system is one has better pay and the other has better benefits.
In both systems a handful of ruthless villians live in luxury and the rest
of the people work to support them. Both systems corrupt the soul by
commodifying time. Time is the very stuff of life itself.

HOW MUCH DID JIM MORRISON KNOW?

by David Icke

Daniel Transit from London has made the following observations about the
late Jim Morrison, lead singer in the Doors, who died mysteriously in
Paris in 1971. For background to his death see:
http://www.synge.com/scandals/deathscandals/deathscandals_jimmorrison.html

Daniel wrote:

This is simply to point out the connections between your writing about
reptilian aliens and the lyrics and poetry of JIM MORRISON.

I recommend reading 'The Lords and the New Creatures.' Or, listening to
'Not To Touch The Earth' (on 'Waiting For the Sun' LP) + extended
version 'Celebration of the Lizard' (on 'Absolutely Live') to find the
GOLDMINE connection.

I wrote a report called 'An H-Bomb In Reverse: Jim Morrison  The
Aliens..' ten years ago (edition of 49 - about 6 copies left still).

If you - or anyone else - were to look into this further, you would come
to surmise that Jim Morrison's father is an important part of the story,
too.

Sources: THE LORDS AND THE NEW CREATURES by JIM MORRISON VARIOUS
BIOGRAPHIES  BOOKS about JIM MORRISON and THE DOORS, including
INTERVIEWS.

An example of Jim Morrsion lyrics:

NOT TO TOUCH THE EARTH

Not to touch the earth, not to see the sun
Nothing left to do but run, run, run
Let's run
Let's run
House upon the hill, moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees witnessing the wild breeze
Come on, baby, run with me
Let's run

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me, let's run

The mansion is warm at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside

Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not going very far
To the East, to meet the Czar

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me, let's run

Some outlaws live by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! We're almost home

Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon...
Soon...
Soon!
I AM THE LIZARD KING;
I CAN DO ANYTHING.

Any more information on this subject would be much appreciated. Contact
us here.

Dear Eagle 1,

 It is very hard to take David Icke seriously, after he claimed on television, and I 
saw
him do it personally, to be Christ and that his wife was the incarnation of the 
Archangel
Michael.

 Anyone who really understands the Scriptures as Christ does because Christ is the
Word (Scriptures) made flesh, would not make such a ridiculous statement about his
wife, or about Christ, because Christ and the Archangel Michael are one and the same
person. Christ is a title and not a name. Christ's (the Spiritual Being that inhabited 
the
body called Jesus) real name is Prince Michael the Archangel.

 So, I have difficulty taking anything David Icke says too seriously,
