[CTRL] Home Depot: No oldgrowth products / 2 EPA officials indicted: false documents
-Caveat Lector- HOME DEPOT TO PHASE OUT PRODUCTS FROM ENDANGERED FORESTS ATLANTA, Georgia, August 26, 1999 (ENS) - The Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, used its 20th anniversary celebration today to announce a policy change on wood sourcing. President and CEO Arthur Blank told Home Depot associates the company will phase out the sale of wood products from old growth forests over the next three years. Environmentalists hailed the decision as a victory for their campaign.

Marc Radell of the Region III Office of Regional Counsel in Philadelphia, and Claudia Johnson of the Region V Water Division in Chicago, were each indicted on four felony counts arising from allegations of criminal conduct that surfaced during federal civil cases in Wisconsin. In January 1996, EPA Region V granted three Wisconsin Indian Tribes the authority under federal environmental law to determine the quality of surface waters within their reservations. The State of Wisconsin filed lawsuits in federal district court challenging the EPAs decisions. The indictments charge that during the course of the litigation, Radell, an attorney, and Johnson created and backdated EPA documents, and then stated in affidavits and during depositions that the documents existed prior to the time that the EPA made its decisions regarding the three tribes. The lawsuits were later dismissed, and the EPA was ordered to pay Wisconsin and other parties about $369,000 in attorneys fees and costs. Each defendant, if convicted on all counts, faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million. http://ens.lycos.com/ens/aug99/1999L-08-26-09.html EUROPE STRENGTHENS RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR WASHINGTON, DC, August 26, 1999 (ENS) - Aggressive promotion of renewable energies in the European Union over the past decade is narrowing the gap of installed green energy capacity between Europe and the United States.

Australia Crime Increases After Guns Are Confiscated Orange County Register Letters to the Editor Section 8/4/99: It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, a program costing the government more than $500 million dollars. And now the results are in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent; Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent; Australia- wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent). In the state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300 percent. Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms (changed drastically in the past 12 months). There has been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly. Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns." Bet you wont see this data on the evening news or hear your governor or members of the state Assembly disseminating this information.

[CTRL] CIA Drug Evidence sought by Congress for hearings on CIA Inspector General's Report Volume 2
-Caveat Lector- This means that the CIA Inspector General's Report, Volume 2, will be augmented by Congress with awaited evidence documents, from former Los Angeles Police Department narcotics investigative officer Michael Ruppert, to further substantiation of the IG's claims of CIA complicity in the illegal drug trade which Ruppert says he can prove is still ongoing, on an enormous scale, especially targeting inner city black populations to foster drug and crime problems including the crack cocaine epidemic to destroy and imprision the black community, and others, to fund covert guerrilla and police operations, and to launder money for political campaigns and low cost corporate loans to feed the Wall Street merger mania and keep stock market profit-taking at artificially high levels. The lawsuit referred to below is the 15MAR99 (Ides of March) filed class action suit for actual and punitive damages against the CIA and Dept of Justice for CIA's liability for the financial losses of those communities, lead by citizens of South Central Los Angeles and Oakland, California, and supported by recent unanimous resolution of the Oakland City Council under the guidance of the former California Governor and United States Presidential Candidate, Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown. This information conclusively links both Presidents Bush and Clinton, with many other high US government officials, to this illicit CIA protected drug trade (estimated at 80% of overall illicit drug market and over $200 billion per year), as well as proof of suppressed videotaped evidence from a 1985 DEA sting in which undercover officers sold multiple kilograms of cocaine to Jeb and George W. Bush.

In my response to their letter, published in the June issue of FTW, which indicated that they intended to close out the investigation, I told them that in the absence of both an open and public hearing and a full examination of all the material, the committee had not fulfilled its obligations. In the letter received today HPSCI indicated that they were offering to pay for the copying and mailing expenses.

[CTRL] Delta Force had active role in raid, ex-CIA officer told (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- http://www.dallasnews.com/texas_southwest/0827tsw1delta.htm Delta Force had active role in raid, ex-CIA officer told 08/27/99 By Lee Hancock / The Dallas Morning News © 1999, The Dallas Morning News A former CIA officer said Thursday that he learned from Delta Force commandos that members of the secret Army unit were "present, up front and close" in helping the FBI in the final tear-gas assault on the Branch Davidian compound. The former officer, Gene Cullen, told The Dallas Morning News that he heard the detailed accounts of the military's active involvement from "three or four" anti-terrorist Delta commandos as he worked with them on an overseas assignment in 1993. "Whether it's the macho-bravo-type talk of guys in the field, I don't know," he said, declining to identify the individuals involved. "I have no reason to suspect that they lied. And it didn't just come from one of them. There were three or four guys that confirmed that, who were from Delta." The chairman of the Texas Department of Public Safety on Thursday told The News that evidence in the hands of Texas law enforcement personnel may support the account given to Mr. Cullen. "I'm advised there is some evidence that may corroborate" the allegation that Delta Force participated in the assault, said James B. Francis Jr., the DPS official. A Pentagon spokesman who spoke on condition of anonymity denied Thursday that any U.S. military units were involved in the assault, "as far as I know." Use of active military personnel against civilians without a specific presidential decree is a violation of federal law. The spokesman confirmed that three Defense Department "observers" whom he declined to identify were in Waco on April 19, 1993, the day that an FBI tear-gas assault ended in a fire that consumed the compound. Branch Davidian leader David Koresh and more than 80 followers died in the fire, which arson investigators ruled was deliberately set by sect members. The spokesman said Pentagon policy barred him from any public discussion of Delta Force, even the possibility of its existence. A once-classified memo written to the Army Special Forces command, which includes Delta Force, indicated that three of its personnel watched the final tragedy unfold. The May 1993 memo stated that the observers did not participate and were warned not to videotape anything that happened. Mr. Francis said evidence in the hands of Texas law enforcement suggests that more than three Delta Force personnel were at the compound on April 19 and involved in the assault. "I have been advised that there are some police officers who have developed some evidence that needs looking into with regard to what the role of Delta Force was at the Branch Davidian compound," he said, declining to elaborate. "I think it's a subject that the FBI director and the attorney general need to look into," Mr. Francis said. "The $64 question is whether they were advisory or operational, and I think some of the evidence is problematical." Talk to Pentagon An FBI spokesman in Washington said he had been instructed by the Department of Justice to refer all questions on the presence of Delta Force to the Pentagon. Tron Brekke, FBI spokesman, added that he could not say whether Delta Force might have been actively assisting the FBI in any way in Waco "because I don't think anybody knows." "That's part of the reason that the attorney general and the director are, in a very expeditious manner, going to have 40 assistant inspectors and whoever is chosen to lead them come down and find out definitively what did happen," he said. "I don't know what was done or wasn't done down there." On Wednesday, the FBI announced that a full inquiry was being launched to explain the use of pyrotechnic

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: ...he casually stuck my tooter up his nose.
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 08/27/1999 1:38:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is it just Inside Cover, or has anybody else noticed that reporters have suddenly cooled on their favorite pursuit: hounding George W. on the cocaine question? Maybe it's the recent surveys showing Americans don't care if Bush Jr. used the drug a generation ago? But more probably it's the fact that the press' own double standard has become so blatantly apparent that even they now worry about seeming unfair. Reporters have been slammed lately for not going after President Clinton on the same question -- and the entire U.S. media knows it risks a credibility crisis should the Bush bashing continue. I know it's nearly irresistable to travel the well worn path, but what Clinton might or might not have done is pretty close to irrelevant at this point. What George Bush might or might not have done years ago is not important either, but what he has been doing since he has been governor of Texas is another matter. Why is most of the media so silent on "Deadgate"? If Ivins and Press are right, it appears that Dubya can be bought. It is almost certain that he lied in an affidavit sworn before Notary Public Ofelia S. Vanden Bosch, when he was trying to convince the court he should not be a witness in Eliza May's suit against Texas and Service Corporation International (the world's largest funeral chain), including its CEO, Robert L. Waltrip, a very close Bush family friend and staunch contributor to Bush's gubernatorial campaigns. It appears that in spite of Dubya's influence, May's investigation of improper embalming practices (a woman reported that when she went to lay flowers on her son's grave, the family mausoleum was infested with gnats and a foul, maroon-colored liquid was leaking from his crypt) continued, and she fined SCI $450,000. She was immediately fired. Now since Mr. Waltrip has contributed $l00,000 to ex-prez Bush's library, given $45,000 to Dubya's campaigns and loaned his corporate jet on occasion, he probably feels he should not have to pay any more. As Bill Press says, "Only further investigation will tell whether Deadgate is just the case of one more sleazy politician giving special treatment to a fatcat contributor, or of one more elected official lying under oath." Oh well, political business as usual. No wonder the establishment media blew the horn so loud about ancient cocaine use. Much better everybody blather on about that than about what Gov. Bush has been doing for his good friends while serving the good folks of Texas. Prudy DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Stunned by what I read in the Italian press, I told my friends that a turning-point in American history had been reached: if t he American people did not rise up and throw the rascals out, if Janet Reno and her colleagues were not put on trial for murder, there would be no hope of restoring the republic. The Italians were not shocked by my remarks: they assumed the worst. Intelligent Europeans were already learning to fear the violence of the new American empire and many people who knew the truth of what the US did in Bosnia compared US airstrikes with Waco. But Bosnia was nothing compared with Kosovo, where every day NATO airstrik es are taking out power plants, bombing schools and hospitals, and murdering civilians. When the news is finally reported, the Julius Streichers of the regime, Jamie Shea and Jamie Rubin, come on television to express regret for the incident. Honest journ a lists, like Charley Reese on the right and Alex Cockburn on the left, have denounced NATO aggression from the beginning, and in the recent number of "Counter-Punch," Cockburn and his partner, Jeffrey St. Clair, report on a grisly connection between Waco and Kosovo: the sinister NATO commander, Wesley Clark. During the Waco stand-off, apparently, Governor Anne Richards asked Clark, who was then commander of Ft. Hood, for advice. The answer came through his subordinates: take out the leader. Cockburn and St. Clair comment: Certainly the Waco onslaught bears characteristics typical of Gen. Wesley Clark: the eagerness to take out the leader (viz., the Clark-ordered bombing of Milosevich's private residence); the utter disregard for the lives of innocent men, women, and children,; the arrogant miscalculations about the effects of force; disregard for law, whether of the Posse Comitatus Act governing military actions within the United States or, abroad, the purview of the Nuremberg laws on war crimes and attacks on civilians. Speaking of the bombing the presidential residence of Slobodan Milosevic: As our government must have known, neither Milosevic nor his government actually owned the house. It belongs to Dragomir Acovic, a leading Serb architect who happens t o be royalist, an anti-Communist, and a bitter opponent of the Milosevic government. The suit to recover his property had been working its way through the Yugoslav courts, but it seems pointless now. In the first week of the bombing, I asked Mr. Acovic to respond to Clinton's statement that he was not making war on the people of Yugoslavia but only against Milosevic. He said his answer was not appropriate for polite company. The Arkansas Mafia's contempt for international law was underscored by an article in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, Monday, May 10, 1999, by a former Nuremberg prosecutor, Walter Rockler: For the United States, alias "NATO," the planning and launching of this war by the president heightens the abuse and undermining of warmaking authority under the Constitution The bombing war also violates and shreds the basic provisions of the United Nations Charter and other conventions and treaties; the attack on Yugoslavia constitutes the most brazen international aggression since the Nazis attacked Poland to prevent "Polish atrocities" against Germans. The United States has discarded pretensions to international legality and decency, and embarked on a course of raw imperialism run amok. Rockler goes on to contrast our alleged concern for human rights with the fact that "we dropped twice as many bombs on Vietnam as all the countries involved in World War II dropped on each other," killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the process. We went on to sponsor and train local armies and death squads in Central America and saw nothing wrong [i.e. aided and abetted] the Croat slaughter and expulsion of 200,000 Serbs from the Krajina area."

The paper reports evidence in the hands of Texas law enforcement personnel may support the account given to Cullen. "I'm advised there is some evidence that may corroborate" the allegation that Delta Force participated in the assault, said James B. Francis Jr., chair of the Texas Department of Public Safety. A Pentagon spokesman who spoke on condition of anonymity denied Thursday that any U.S. military units were involved in the assault, "as far as I know." [Pentagon policy barred him from any public discussion of Delta Force, even the possibility of its existence.] Meanwhile, any U.S. military assistance at the April 1993 Waco siege was justified, according to the General Accounting Office.

Well we didn't have any military in Laos (and places like that), and we don't have any in South or Central America, and I can remember when Congressmen sent angry letters in response to military grievances from certain posts in Turkey. They said there were no military stationed there. It was always such a surprise to the guys involved. Would your Government lie to you? Of course not. Besides, if GAO says it was justified, who are we to argue?If our military takes arms against its own citizens, isn't that justifiable? GAO says it is. Would our Government lie to us?

Most of the obituaries were, like the photograph that ruined his life, two dimensional and unforgiving. Williams sent flowers with a card that read, "I'm sorry. There are tears in my eyes." It is clearly true from this posting that the Press (Williams included) frequently let us down. What they do not do is give us the "whole" story. One gets the sense of a child flicking a flashlight on an off and turning around slowly as he does so. Perhaps it is not the photographers and reporters, but the editors, or even the publishers who leave us with the "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" syndrome. Anyone wishing to view a symptom of the problem need only turn on a television set to CNN. He or she will be treated to the story of the week or the stock reports while a two liner about something you really would like to know about flashes quickly across the bottom of the screen. Perhaps when we ask the time, we do not really want to know how to build a watch, but we might like to know who built one, if it was a good product, and if wearing it will be harmful to our health. It is the media that decided we should only know or see the tip of the iceberg. Getting more is one of the most difficult problems we have today. Why didn't our photographer do a book about his general? Why if he tried, would no one publish it? Anything that stopped the war in Vietnam is a good thing, but there is no reason for anyone to be persecuted for actions taken in war that are relative to fighting the enemy.

Re: [CTRL] Poll-Ooo-Shun
-Caveat Lector- This is not proof read - I do a good job in just getting some things posted. Will redo this for the web site, though most of the basic ideas are already on my web site . Japan backing Aspartame and Monsanto needs to stop. But to think that they are the majority? Not with the way they are using antibiotic soap and poisoning their area too. They need to do a through study of the managial system but they need to start studying history with Charlegmegne. -- Now to go on to the rest of my thread -- With the potential of intananious transportation one central food point - saying that food has to be irradiated, so that people do not realize that humans could be transported (maybe even a brain being "exchanged" on the move) -- anyway a food monopoly - with food and supplies being delivered to you house. They will know all additives so that they can keep track of how human "lab rats" react to the chemicals. The best "lab rats" would be blond, blue eyed ones (like in Ice Land or the Aryans) that do not have all those extra (pesky) genes to worry about. 1960' TV slowed it satellite TV slowed things the Internet stands in the way Over seas things have happened like infants developing breasts. Dioxins are having to be fazed out! It takes three years to be certified organic, yet there are already some farms that are. When the full dioxin / hormone -- dioxin and other chemicals - like herbicides, pesticides, chlorine, and fluoride that we get from plants and animals. thing lands on us, farmers will have no warning since the EPA will not be allowed to post these farms or their products as polluters, so they will lose their farms. Even if they do go organic, have you noticed how many smaller grocery stores are going under? Where will the farmers sell their produce? someone is looking at the potential of putting matter transmission online but before they do that they are putting in irradiation and using antibiotics, and hormones with animals and pesticides, herbicides in food to kill the good bacteria so that e-coli can flourish. Getting the meat packing plants, who owns the banks that are foreclosing on the farm land? Why now? Space travel and the fact that soon education will be a in-fad and lame brains will get shown up for what they are, so the lame brains are going for the monopolies now! Also they are thinking what would someone do if they were sued for a persons potential earnings if that person would have lived 1, 2, or 3 hundred years - Now you know why Zero population growth and why children are surplus. There are some definite reasons why those lame brains should not do their monopoly! When NASA needs people that have multiple degrees people should not be weeded out in the lower grades. Where would we be in space travel if solar had really been allowed to take off. Also when many of the aging population could be the ones to help get space habitat going, what could be another reason why this is happening? Because they need to thin out some of their mistakes - and if they can own the world while they are at it, they think so much the better. Life is diversity, and they advocate getting rid of many of the different ethics. We need the diversity and to study how different areas have adapted to their bacteria. *Nazi white lab rats called Aryans could realize that nutrition is the main reason for IQ -not- genetics. *That many people would not have the time for "hate crimes". *That you can give people back their history - no matter how blood thirsty without a continuance of old feuds since - it seems as if bacteria is the main reason for the feuds. ** consider: Bacteria is male and female in one organism. They spar with their male organs, The one that gets speared is the one that has to use it's resources to replicate. -- high survival index? !! Bacteria is a part of every organism from plants to animals and humans. Humans have bacteria in their stomachs that help them digest food and if that bacteria were not there you would die. Animals have to be more interesting than plants from a bacterial point of view, 1) but plants can live longer 2) do not need animals to survive we need plants to survive 3) can live anywhere in the world which life form would bacteria protect? Any time a major center of civilization has been put together, compiled or collected it has been destroyed. WHY? Because they started bogarting their fertilizer Majority rules - and humans are not the majority, also since we seem to be nothing more than walking fertilizer units - does it matter if we are educated or not? With the amount of interesting bacteria coming in from outer space it seems as if that basic survival index would want to try to go to the source - but not at the risk of being killed here. By my thinking this would mean that many of the Europeans that came to the New World (America) *New World Order* Were homicidal

A student encountering the legal system for the first time can find it a foreboding subject - complex, technical, deep.

The agreement is largely the work of Frank Kellogg, the US Secretary of State, in collaboration with Aristide Briand, the French Foreign Minister. Eventually, 62 countries will sign the pact.

You have lost your credibility with me. Please unsubscribe me. May I ask how you pay your bills? Do you work or do you have someone who takes care of you? Were you born wealthy? Being married to Gunther Russbacher cost me everything I had ever accumulated in life. All my sweet cherished treasures had to be sold for a fraction of their worth to pay for lawyers, telephone bills, rent, food, etc. I declared bankruptcy twice and I am still recovering. I have not charged for the information on my webpage. It cost me over a $1,000 to build the webpage. I doubt if I have sold $100.00 from it. I don't have advertising on the web page. I give away information that is far better than what is in most of the books and videos you have on your shelves. Did you buy these books? Or did the writers give them to you for free? Do you expect all writers to write, edit, publish, and print their books so they can give them away for free? Where do you live? If this is the way it is in your world, I would like to live there. In a perfect society people wouldn't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter, computers, webpages and Internet carriers... these would all be provided for us by our benevolent government. But since I do not live in a perfect world, I must do something in order to make the money that I pour into Rumor Mill News! Since you insist that I GIVE AWAY my information, how do you think I should support myself? If I do not charge for the books and tapes that are advertized on my webpage, I will not have the money to pay my rent or my telephone bill... or the web server... or AOL indeed, I will not have the money to pay to print and record the very tapes and manuscripts that you want me to given away for free! Or I guess you want me to transcribe the tapes and put them out over the Internet. I wonder how many hours of my time you want me to devote to doing this. Do you want me to go back to work at a regular job to support my hobby? I did this for several years. It is very hard burning the candle at both ends. I came down with fibromyalgia. I can't work at a regular job now even if I wanted to. I have a sleep disorder which is caused by the pain I am in constantly. Even though I have cured myself of the worst part of the fibromyalagia syndrome, I still am in pain, and because of this I cannot sleep. Because I cannot sleep, I can no longer hold down a 9 to 5 job. It is ver hard making ends meet when you cannot work... and now you want to force me to give everything away for free. As soon as you tell me how to pay the bills I have incurred in order to continue publishing the Rumor Mill, I will feel much better! In order to create the Rumor Mill the way you see it, I had to charge computers, scanners, printers, software and other things on my credit cards. When I wrote and printed the book Diana, Queen of Heaven, it too went on my credit cards. When I go to conferences where I lecture and then sell books and tapes, I have to create an inventory of items this has to be put on my credit cards. I have been doing this for over 10 years now. Since I make no money off what I do, I guess you could call this "my hobby". But it would be nice to have my "hobby" support itself, instead of having me work a fulltime job to support my "hobby". If you still think I should give all my information away for free, then I want you to come up with a way to pay the credit card payments, my rent and telephone bills, as well as the Internet charges, the server, the webmaster and the tape duplicator. And as for putting the information on the Internet for free, this is usually what I do. The article on JFK, Jr. is the first one that my Sources have told me not to put out over the Internet. Most of the information that I put on the intenet is also printed in books. The books are sold to people who don't have computers. Needless to say, not very many people buy my products because only a select few are interested in the things I write about. Maybe your letter is really a wake up call to me.

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: K [EMAIL PROTECTED] While I'm not excusing the Clinton Administration, one DOES have to keep in mind that they just took over a situation that was already in place thanks to the Bush Administration... Yeah, right. The "situation" of a bunch of "cult members" (defined as a religion without any political power) living together on a farm minding their own business. If their leader was wanted for any crimes, he could have been picked up any day during his daily jog. Sure, Koresh was minding his own business - dealing weapons and fucking little girls. Nice religion. The lessons are: -- If you don't want gov't agencies to take too much interest in your religion, then don't deal weapons and don't take child brides; -- If your religion necessitates that you deal weapons and fuck little girls, and you don't want gov't interference, then you should accumulate sufficient political/economic power to deflect said interference; and/or, move to a remote, sheltered location where surveillance/attack are difficult; and/or, be circumspect - don't let anyone know where you are or what you're doing. -- If you MUST deal weapons AND screw kids AND be visible, be sure your funeral arrangements have been made.

You know, the computerization of marketing happened YEARS ago. The databases are amazing, and they are down to house level, not just zip codes. When Lotus came out with a marketing database over ten years ago, they just quietly stopped advertising it, cause folks were amazed at the info and thought it was intrusive. Om K - SNETNEWS Mailing List http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/1999-08/27/073r-082799-idx.html Amazon.com Lists What's Selling Where Privacy Concerns Spur Opt-Out Option By David Streitfeld Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, August 27, 1999; Page A01 "The Microsoft File: The Secret Case Against Bill Gates" is a bestseller among Microsoft employees. At MCI WorldCom, they're buying "The Electronic Day Trader." At the Library of Congress, "Gary Null's Ultimate Anti-Aging Program" is a hit. And at National Semiconductor, it's not just circuits: "101 Nights of Grrreat Sex" is on the company's Top 10 list. All of this information is revealed by the online bookseller Amazon.com, which has started featuring thousands of individual bestseller lists calculated by Zip codes, workplaces and colleges -- wherever its customers are ordering from. With a simple mouse click on the company's World Wide Web site, you can peek behind the scenes at the books that specific groups are reading as well as the compact discs they're listening to and the videos they're watching. Amazon describes it as "fun" and happily announced it in a press release last week, which was followed by a number of media reports. Late yesterday, however, citing complaints from customers, the company backtracked significantly. Customers will now be able to opt out of the data collection by indicating that they don't want their purchases included. Companies will also be able to choose not to be included. If you work for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and want to buy a copy of the CD "Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin' Hits of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies" -- and apparently many employees there do -- you will no longer have it chalked up statistically for all the world to see. The episode underscored again the unique power of Web technology to collect in vast detail about the likes, dislikes and buying habits of millions of consumers and zoom in on the data in ways unprecedented in the annals of marketing. "We're taking chances, we're innovating here," said Amazon spokesman Paul Capelli. "This program is building community and adding a unique feature that never could have existed before the Internet." The chief executive of the trade group to which Amazon belongs, the American Booksellers Association, had a different view. "This is outrageous," said Avin Mark Domnitz. "One of the things that people are afraid of with computers is that they are so powerful, and they collect extraordinary amounts of information about individuals. We could create an environment where people are afraid to go online." Domnitz's remarks were echoed by leading independent booksellers, who already were not among Amazon's great fans. "It's just one more step along the road to a complete loss of privacy for consumers," said Bill Petrocelli of Book Passage in Corte Madera, Calif. Andy Ross of Cody's, a large Berkeley store, said: "It's like 1984 has arrived. What people are reading, thinking about, the ideas they're working with, should be completely confidential, but with Amazon they're not." No one interviewed yesterday was particularly bothered by Amazon compiling lists by individual Zip codes -- that's just a more specific version of the national and regional lists that have been a feature of the book trade for decades. Their concern was over the hundreds of lists specific to individual corporations, colleges and universities, and a sprinkling of nonprofit groups and government institutions. "You can't say there isn't a privacy invasion here," said Robert Biggerstaff of the National Association Mandating Equitable Databases, a consumer group. "It's not traced back to the individual, but they are invading the privacy

-Caveat Lector- fyi, Bard -Original Message- From: Chris Swift [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 27, 1999 7:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [The_Waco_Siege] [POLE] WACO From: "Chris Swift" [EMAIL PROTECTED] [POLE] Paradox On-Line Encyclopedia: WACO Waco Background A city in central Texas, USA, on the River Brazos, population (1990) 103,590. Founded as a ferry-crossing in 1849, it was named after the Waco (Huaco) Indians. It is a commercial and industrial centre with tyres, glass and paper manufacturers. In 1993 a ranch near Waco was the scene of a 51 day siege in which several government agents and over 70 members of the Branch Davidian religious sect were killed. Investigation reopened The US Department of Justice has reopened an investigation into the 51-day Waco stand-off between the FBI and the Branch Davidian cult after it was revealed that agents fired potentially flammable tear gas canisters. (27 August 1999). The FBI still insists the fire was the cult's fault. FBI denies responsibility For the past six years, FBI agents have repeatedly and categorically denied that they fired any incendiary devices capable of sparking the blaze that consumed the cult's compound. The leader of the cult, David Koresh, and about 80 followers, including 25 children, died. The 51-day siege ended with the deaths of more than 80 people FBI spokesman John Collingwood said: "The FBI may have used a very limited number of military-type CS gas canisters on the morning of April 19 in an attempt to penetrate the roof of an underground bunker 30 to 40 yards away from the main Branch Davidian compound." The military-type canisters differ from civilian tear gas in that "the military canisters may have contained a substance that is designed to disperse the gas using a pyrotechnic mixture," Mr Collingwood said. High-level contradictions: Attorney General under pressure The revelations contradict congressional testimony of high-ranking Justice Department officials including that of Attorney General Janet Reno. Janet Reno: "Very, very frustrated" Admitting the revelations might erode her credibility, Ms Reno pledged to "get to the bottom" of why it took six years for the FBI to admit to the use of the potentially incendiary munitions. "It is absolutely critical that we do everything humanly possible to learn all the facts as accurately as possible and make them available to Congress and the public," she said. Janet Reno:"I'll get to the bottom of this" Within weeks, the results of the investigation conducted by 40 agents and led by an FBI inspector are to report on the use of military-type tear gas and why its use was not revealed for six years. She said she was "very, very frustrated" that the information had taken so long to emerge. But she added that she still believed the FBI was not responsible for the deaths. Officials, who requested anonymity, said two military tear gas canisters were fired hours before the fire began. The canisters bounced off the roof of the concrete bunker and landed in an open field, according to these officials. Independent investigators concluded the fire began simultaneously in three places. Based on information from bugs planted on the compound, the FBI maintains that the Davidians started the fire. Arson investigators found that gasoline, charcoal lighter fluid and camp stove fuel had been poured inside the compound. Army involvement? In other developments, the Texas Department of Public Safety told The Dallas Morning News members of the Army's secret Delta Force anti-terrorism squad were at the scene the day the compound burned. The newspaper obtained a Defence Department document under the Freedom of Information Act that confirmed the presence of the Special Forces unit when the FBI used tanks to assault the compound. The US military is barred from domestic law enforcement. Congressional questions Republican law said they would reopen the investigation and reconvene hearings into the incident. The revelation "casts doubt on the entire testimony that the government gave Congress in 1995," Republican Representative Bob Barr told CNN. The US Attorney-General, Janet Reno, says her credibility has been harmed by an FBI admission over the fatal fire in 1993 at a besieged cult headquarters in Waco, Texas. For the past six years, FBI agents have repeatedly and categorically denied that they fired any incendiary devices capable of sparking the blaze that consumed the cult's compound. Janet Reno:"I'll get to the bottom of this" FBI version of events Officials, who requested anonymity, said two military tear gas canisters were fired hours before the fire began.

Narcotics trafficking, gun running, CIA covert ops, money laundering and fraud on a massive scale are just some of the ingredients that have sent bank after bank crashing to its knees. Once the smoke clears, bank depositors and shareholders are left picking up the tab. With a spate of billion-dollar financial scandals hitting the headlines, 1995 wasn't such a good year for harassed bank regulators and shareholders. Calls for tougher regulation of the burgeoning financial markets in the wake of Daiwa, Barings and other debacles are little more than PR palliatives designed to calm the nerves of a cynical public who still form the hard backbone of bank depositors. With the best will in the world, regulators can't keep pace with an evolving and sophisticated money machine that daily shuffles upwards of 24 billion E-bucks around the globe in the blink of an eye. Yet tough regulation, even when emplaced, is easily and regularly evaded. Banking and crime Cimmerian handmaidens for the simple reason that banks are where the money is. Having access to the money and being 'connected' is the name of the game where the stakes are other people's money. This is the dark side of the financial community, a hidden face that largely goes unreported - until, that is, a major banking scandal hits the front pages. Squirming under the glare of public attention, successive bank disclosures have revealed the sinister connections that leading banks have with organised crime and the intelligence community. The money-shufflers of 'Spooksville' need 'black funds' to finance covert operations and appear happy to exchange guns and military hard ware for dope that is, in turn, peddled for dollars used to finance other black operations. This happy-go-lucky 'Ferris wheel' approach to money-raising on the part of the intelligence community reveals a long history of entanglements with the Mafia. Organised crime syndicates are now the single largest business sector on the planet and are set to grow. They just love banking. Having accumulated a staggering US$820 billion from investment interest over the last decade, the Mafia is now estimated to earn US$250 billion a year from its legitimate investments. Dozens of nations who maintain strict bank secrecy laws are, de facto, providing full banking services to these mandarins of dirty money. A large number of banks are actually owned by Mafia syndicates. Some of the largest and most respectable appear content to turn a blind eye and earn massive commissions from laundering dirty money. The prudent image of the banker is just that: an image. Banking survives purely on depositor confidence, making it the biggest ongoing ' confidence trick ' the world has ever witnessed.That confidence has been dented by one scandal following on the heels of another. One of the earliest scandals was the Nugan Hand Bank affair. Michael Hand, an ex-CIA operative from the Bronx, joined up in 1973 with Frank Nugan, an Australian playboy and inheritor of a Mafia fortune, and incorporated the Nugan Hand Bank. The bank sported an interesting and exclusive board of directors. President of the bank was (Retired) Rear Admiral Earl Yates, former chief of the US Navy's strategic planning. Legal counsel was the CIA's William Colby, and Walter McDonald, former deputy director of the spook agency was listed as consultant. An in-house commodity trader on the bank's payroll was also a leading heroin importer, while Richard Secord, later to be implicated in the Iran-Contra affair, was said to have a business connection. Seven years later, the bank collapsed following the discovery of Frank Nugan's body slumped in his Mercedes. Clutching a gun in one hand and sporting a hole through the head, Nugan was also holding a bible that contained an embarrassing list of names including William Colby, DCI of the CIA, and Bob Wilson, the House Armed Services Committee's ranking Republican. Other names listed had a variety of backgrounds, ranging from known narcotics traffickers, politicians and businessmen to personalities from sport and the media. Beside each name were listed amounts

-Caveat Lector- Colombia GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE UPDATE U.S. Proposes Intervention Forces for Latin American Crises June 10, 1999 SUMMARY During a meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) the U.S. proposed the creation of a multinational force to guarantee the security of the Western Hemisphere. At the same time, the U.S. is reportedly pushing a plan to support Colombia's neighbors with aircraft and intelligence in their efforts to contain Colombian guerrillas. With its OAS proposal in the long term and its Colombia plan in the short term, the U.S. appears eager to become more actively involved in resolving Latin America's long running conflicts. This promises at best a mixed blessing for U.S. businesses currently operating in Colombia and throughout the region, as greater U.S. involvement will draw greater reaction from the region's rebels. ANALYSIS A report in the June 9 edition of the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo described a U.S. proposal to create a multinational intervention force for Latin America. The proposal, which was presented at a meeting of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS), calls for a "group of friendly countries," who are closely linked politically or economically, to intervene in internal conflicts threatening democracy in Latin American countries. Although Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela opposed the U.S. proposal, the U.S. representative to the OAS, Victor Marrero, said the proposal was not dead. "We never hoped that the proposal would be approved at this session, we just wanted to put the matter on the table for discussion. But this topic is not dead," Marrero said. Objections to the proposal centered on who would determine if a crisis was serious enough to warrant intervention, as well as the form and degree of intervention necessary. In a potentially related report, the June 7 edition of the Colombian newspaper "El Espectador" reported details of what it claimed is a U.S. plan to block the spread of Colombian guerrilla activity to neighboring countries. According to the report, which cited U.S. State Department sources, the U.S. is planning to support border forces in Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela with aircraft and intelligence to help contain the Colombian rebels. At the same time, the U.S. State Department would reportedly label the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) and the Ejercito de Liberacion Nacional (ELN) "narco-guerrillas," declaring them responsible for participating in the narcotics industry in Colombia. The alleged plan would also involve extradition requests aimed at linking the insurgency more closely with the drug trade. In more concretely linking the guerrillas with the narcotics trade, the El Tiempo claims that the State Department hopes to both reduce criticism from the U.S. Congress and to build regional support for a multinational force. The U.S. State Department has long woven a tortuous argument that, while the U.S. is not and will not become involved in battling Colombia's guerrillas, it is actively participating in the war on drugs. And since Colombia's guerrillas are participating in narcotics production and trafficking, then... and the rest occurs in the Colombian jungle. In actively

Under the terms of the deal, Harken was given the exclusive right to explore for gas and oil off the shores of the Gulf island nation. If gas or oil were found in waters near two of the world's largest gas and oil fields, Harken would have exclusive marketing and transportation rights for the energy resources. Truly an "incredible deal" for a company that had never drilled an offshore well. Strain failed to point out, however, the one fact that puts the Harken deal in focus: George Bush, Jr., the eldest son of George and Barbara Bush of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, is a member of Harken's board of directors, a consultant, and a stockholder in the Texas-based company. In light of this connection, the deal makes more sense. The involvement of Junior-George Walker Bush's childhood nickname-with Harken is a walking conflict of interest. His relationship to President Bush, rather than any business acumen, made him a valuable asset for Harken, the Republican Party benefactors, Middle East oil sheikhs and covert operators who played a part in Harken's Bahrain deal. In fact, Junior's track record as an oilman is pretty dismal. He began his career in Midland, Texas, in the mid-1970s when he founded Arbusto Energy, Inc. When oil prices dropped in the early 1980s, Arbusto fell upon hard times. Junior was only rescued from business failure when his company was purchased by Spectrum 7 Energy Corporation, a small oil firm owned by William DeWitt and Mercer Reynolds. As part of the September 1984 deal, Bush became Spectrum 7's president and was given a 13.6 percent share in the company's stock. Oil prices stayed low and within two years, Spectrum 7 was in trouble. In the six months before Spectrum 7 was acquired by Harken in 1986, it had lost $400,000. In the buyout deal, George "Jr." and his partners were given more than $2 million worth of Harken stock for the 180-well operation. Made a director and hired as a "consultant" to Harken, Junior received another $600,000 of Harken stock, and has been paid between $42,000 and $120,000 a year since 1986. Junior's value to Harken soon became apparent when the company needed an infusion of cash in the spring of 1987. Junior and other Harken officials met with Jackson Stephens, head of Stephens, Inc., a large investment bank in Little Rock, Arkansas (Stephens made a $100,000 contribution to the Reagan-Bush campaign in 1980 and gave another $100,000 to the Bush dinner committee in 1990.) In 1987, Stephens made arrangements with Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) to provide $25 million to Harken in return for a stock interest in Harken. As part of the Stephens-brokered deal, Sheikh Abdullah Bakhsh, a Saudi real estate tycoon and financier, joined Harken's board as a major investor. *5 Stephens, UBS, and Bakhsh each have ties to the scandal-ridden Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). It was Stephens who suggested in the late 1970s that BCCI purchase what became First American Bankshares in Washington, D.C. BCCI later acquired First American's predecessor, Financial General Bankshares. At the time of the Harken investment, UBS was a joint-venture partner with BCCI in a bank in Geneva, Switzerland. Bakhsh has been an investment partner in Saudi Arabia with Gaith Pharoan, identified by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as a "front man" for BCCI's secret acquisitions of U.S. banks. Stephens, Inc. played a role in the Harken deal with Bahrain as well. Former Stephens bankers David and Mike Edwards contacted Michael Ameen, the former chief of Mobil Oil's Middle East operations, when Bahrain broke off 1989 talks with Amoco for a gas and oil exploration contract. The Edwardses recommended Harken for the job and urged Ameen to get in touch with Bahrain, which he did. "In the midst of Harken's talks with Bahrain, Ameen- simultaneously working as a State Department consultant-briefed the incoming U.S. ambassador in Bahrain, Charles Hostler," the Wall Street Journal noted, adding that Hostler, a San Diego real estate investor, was a $100,000 contributor to the Republican Party. Hostler claimed he never discussed Harken with the Bahrainis. Harken lacked sufficient financing to explore off the coast of Bahrain

-Caveat Lector- Brazil/Venezuela GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE UPDATE Venezuela and Brazil Step up Latin American Integration Efforts May 19, 1999 SUMMARY Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Brazilian President Henrique Cardoso have agreed on concrete measures that would lead to the establishment of a Latin American free trade zone. Their stated objective is to create an economic bloc that could counterbalance U.S. economic power in the region. Because the grand vision of regional economic integration is practically unattainable, given the current circumstances in Latin America, its only real objective is to serve the domestic political objectives of its populist and nationalist creators. ANALYSIS During his recent visit to Brazil, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez received Brazilian President Henrique Cardoso's support for the idea of integrating two Latin American regional economic groupings -- the Common Market of the South (Mercosur) and the Community of Andean Nations (CAN). The two politicians agreed on concrete measures that would lead to establishment of a free trade zone in Latin America. As part of their effort to create a Latin American economic bloc, the two countries agreed to establish a continental-wide company for exploration and development of oil by merging parts of national oil companies of major Latin American oil producers. The stated purpose of their efforts is to counterbalance the United States' economic power in the region. While the plan for regional economic integration is significant in intent, its realization, demanding the delegation of individual state's powers to supra-national bodies, may prove impossible in the current Latin American economic environment. At their meeting, Chavez and Cardoso agreed to establish a preferential tariffs agreement between Mecrosur and CAN, stressing that the measure would enable a speedy creation of a free trade area. Cardoso said that the integration between the Mercosur member countries (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay) and the CAN member countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela) would produce one of the most powerful economic blocs in the world. The two leaders openly defined the objective of the economic integration, which would be to prevent the Latin American countries from becoming "increasingly dependent on the United States." Reportedly, certain Brazilian diplomats expressed their hope that such an economic bloc would have "greater autonomy to negotiate with the European Union and counterbalance the United States' economic power." As part of the Caracas-initiated effort to integrate Latin American economies, Brazil and Venezuela plan to establish a new continental-wide oil company called Petroamerica. Venezuela's Energy Minister Ali Rodriguez said on May 11 that the two countries intend to merge part of their state-owned oil companies -- Petrobras and PDVSA -- to form the new company, Petroamerica, likely be created before the end of this year. Consequently, other Latin American companies would be invited to join the international enterprise. Chavez had also introduced his Petroamerica proposal during his recent visit to Colombia. With regard to future members of Petroamerica, Chavez emphasized that the

Naylor . . . To finance these activities, the CIA turned to Castle Bank Trust of Nassau. The bank was established by Paul Helliwell, a former OSS China hand with a background in drug-trade intelligence. After the war, Helliwell had run CIA front companies in Florida. Through his Bahamian bank, and a companion institution in Florida, millions of dollars were funneled for covert military operations staged off Andros Island in the Bahamas. Castle also facilitated tax evasion, and, in its trust-company capacity, voted the shares of certain nonresidents owners of Resorts International, the top Lansky-era casino operation on Nassau. When one of those shareholders so strongly objected to the way Castle was voting his shares that he sued the bank, the scheme began to unravel. The shareholder was William Mellon Hitchcock, the New York stockbroker who had been using the Paravinci Bank of Berne, Switzerland, to circumvent the New York Fed's margin requirements. Allegedly, Hitchcock also put his business experience to work in 'high finance,' along with the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, whose clandestine California laboratories reportedly produced more than half of the LSD that levitated political debate on American campuses in the 1960s. It was Hitchcock's friend Timothy Leary, the era's most publicized advocate of the chemical lobotomy, who got him involved with the LSD operation. The profits were laundered through the Paravicini Bank until its demise and through the IOS-controlled Fiduciary Trust in the Bahamas. = Barbecued Children Why Was the Delta Force at Waco? And why did Hillary kill the children? The three Delta Force commandoes at the Branch Davidian compound in April 1993 were part of an elite unit the military secretly founded in 1977 to combat world terrorism. While their use as on-scene observers was legal, a military expert is faulting the Clinton administration for putting the soldiers in a domestic law enforcement setting where innocent people died in a horrible blaze. Said Al Santoli, a House national security aide, "Delta Force is our most sophisticated task force against terrorists and to think that Delta would be used is an abuse of their power and an abuse of their mandate. What happened in Waco was strictly a law enforcement matter." "Delta Force is not hostage negotiating. They are action guys against terrorists," said Mr. Santoli, an aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California Republican. "They are experts who deal with the most violent and sophisticated international terrorist forces." A Pentagon spokesman said Thursday the three special forces soldiers were at Waco strictly as observers in hopes of learning something new on hostage rescue. For years, the Pentagon refused to acknowledge Delta Force's existence, even as such public failures as Desert One and Somalia came to light. Now, the military admits there is such a 400-man unit trained in a fenced area of Fort Bragg, N.C., home to the Joint Special Operations Command. But its work still remains top secret. Delta Force was the brainchild of two hardened Vietnam warriors, Col. Charles Beckwith and Maj. Richard Meadows. They recognized that the growing threat of global terrorism heightened the prospect that Americans would be taken hostage overseas. A special unit was needed, they argued, to rescue them. Unfortunately, Delta Force's first notoriety stemmed from failure. Some of its members participated in the botched Desert One operation in 1979 to free 66 American hostages from the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Bad publicity struck again in 1993 when the ill-conceived manhunt for Somalia warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid ended in the ambush of a U.S. special forces unit and the death of 18 soldiers. Many successes remain secret. In any conflict involving American troops, Delta Force is on the scene prepared for a hostage situation. They also perform reconnaissance deep inside enemy lines and join with other commando units, such as Navy Seals, on special missions. Delta Force members were believed to have penetrated Iraqi territory during the 1991 Persian Gulf war in a hunt for ballistic missile launchers. "They have also advised and worked with people like the Israelis who have been successful to varying degrees," Mr. Santoli said. "The reason they keep their identities secret is to protect Americans from the world's most dangerous terrorists." The issue of Delta Force aiding the FBI at Waco is not new. Attorney General Janet Reno testified before congressional committees that she sought the unit's advice before approving the April 1993 assault. A joint congressional committee investigated the commandoes' role in both open and closed hearings. But their presence

-Caveat Lector- Subject: Drugs replace communism as the point of entry for U.S. policy on Latin America [Please forward] Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 01:17:40 CST COUNCIL ON HEMISPHERIC AFFAIRS Wednesday, 24 August 1999 Drugs replace communism as the point of entry for U.S. policy on Latin America U.S. Policy Towards Colombia About To Massively Veer Off-Track Heading for disaster The Clinton Administration is on the brink of a decisive shift in its policies toward Colombia, a country engulfed in a protracted civil war against leftist guerrillas that has cost tens of thousands of lives. Until now, the Clinton Administration, admirably, has attempted to maintain a thin line between counterinsurgency and counter-narcotics in Washington's support of the Colombian military and police forces. But following the recent visit to Colombia by White House drug policy director Barry McCaffrey and Under Secretary of State Thomas Pickering, it has become clear that Washington is on the verge of more aggressive action in the region. The administration is moving from a policy of only indirect intervention and a relatively hands-off role in the guerrilla conflict to an overt strategy aimed at rooting out the threat the rebels pose to the political and economic status quo in Colombia. In other words, a previously cautious State Department and National Security Council has lost control of the issue to Clinton Administration politicos who fear that the Republicans are preparing a frontal attack on the administration for being "soft" on drugs and equally soft on the drug-trafficking guerrillas. As a riposte, the Clinton Administration will now ready a major public initiative to convince Americans of the imminence of the threat posed by the guerrillas, and the urgency of the need for action. Another crucial White House concern will be to reassure the public that U.S. involvement in the Colombia cauldron will be limited. But Americans were told the same thing when the U.S. first became involved in El Salvador in the early 1980's, and ended up spending almost a billion dollars a year to fund a proto-military regime's barbarous civil war against its own citizens. Roughly three-quarters of a million Salvadoreans fled to the United States during the conflict, and skeptics are now asking how many hundreds of thousands of Colombians will now decide to flee to the U.S. if Washington moves to "liberate" Colombia from its guerrillas, further confounding this country's stressed social programs. The unofficial reason for this change in policy, which eliminates any distinction between Colombia's civil and drug wars, is that U.S. counter-narcotics efforts in the region have in the past done nothing to impede powerful, drug-running mafias from operating in guerrilla-controlled territories, which accounts for 40% of the countryside. The guerrillas-or "narco-terrorists" as McCaffrey now refers to them-are using their enhanced revenues from "war taxes" levied on the drug traffickers to finance their rebellion. General McCaffrey in particular noted the urgency of the present situation in Colombia, calling the conflict "a disaster." He believes the situation in the country is so grave that it will require a regional effort to tame Colombia's drug-trafficking guerrillas. On an August 23 visit to Brazil, the region's largest economic and political power, McCaffrey said: "We must recognize that the problem of drug-trafficking is regional...Colombia cannot combat the problem alone." Given the context in which this proposal was made, some critics are loathe to recall that Washington offered similar explanations when communism rather than drugs was public enemy number one in Latin America, or, as officials in Washington refer to the region to this day, "our own backyard." McCaffrey speaks as if he is readying a purgative crusade in the rest of the hemisphere, and those who fail to cooperate will lose their annual drug certification rating. McCaffrey, who his critics liken to Lt. Col. Oliver North in his fervor, has chastised the White House for regarding Colombia as a relatively minor league issue relative to its other global preoccupations. The administration, McCaffrey suggests, has given "inadequate attention to a serious and growing emergency." Indeed, the deteriorating situation in Colombia was not considered grave enough to seriously concern the president until last week, when, according to the Washington Post, his advisers briefed Clinton on the subject for the first time. How much aid and to whom? Colombia is quickly becoming the major focus of U.S. Latin American policy, and McCaffrey's exhortations seem to have overwhelmed all resistance in the State Department against expanding the U.S. role in the country. The State Department is presently considering Colombia's request for an additional $500 million in military aid over the next two years, a figure which McCaffrey himself

The Good Ole' Guns and Drug War, Law 'n Order Madness Page !! "Psychological warfare employs all moral and physical means, other than orthodox military operations, which tend to: a.Destroy the will and the ability of the enemy to fight. b.Deprive him of the support of his allies and neutrals. c.Increase in our own troops and allies the will to victory. Psychological warfare employs any weapon to influence the mind of the enemy. The weapons are psychological only in the effect they produce and not because of the nature of the weapons themselves. In this light, overt(white), covert(black), and gray propaganda; subversion; sabotage; special operations; guerrilla warfare; espionage; political, cultural, economic, and racial pressures are all effective weapons. They are effective because they produce dissension, distrust, fear, and hopelessness in the mind of the enemy, not because they originate in the psyche of propaganda or psychological warfare agencies." The Science of Coercion (pp.12,81,113) by Christopher Simpson "Real power begins where secrecy begins. The only rule of which everybody in a totalitarian state may be sure." Hannah Arendt "Those who suffer from a power complex find the mechanization of man a simple way to realize their ambitions." Norbert Weiner The policymaking of the "War on Drugs" can best be understood from the perspective of the use of psychological operations in fascist revolution. Wholistic mass manipulation may best be understood as a dynamic interrelated process acting on a targetted population over time. The emphasis of the program design will depend on the specific characteristics and vulnerabilities of the population targetted for "conversion". Needless to say, all the physical, mental, psychological, and spiritual factors acting on the human bean can't be accounted for totally, much less analysed. Obviously, though, some people have seen fit to use every means necessary to manipulate others to achieve sometimes extremely antisocial and ultimately mass suicidal goals founded in a fear borne of greed; the true philosophical underpinnings of the pseudojustification of "national security". Paradoxically, this policymaking has generated higher levels of chaos in our country than has ever been seen before in U.S.history. Collective dictatorial tot alitarianism is the real threat to the self-determination of any truly free people. The goundbreaking work of Caplan and Pantony on the Delusional Dominating Personality Disorder (DDPD) ,detailed in Canadian Psychology Vol.32,#2, is a great place to start exploring current ideas on authoritarianism (the pathology of the criminal warlord). The purpose of my work is to stimulate people to move towards the fuller self-determination that comes from being more fully informed about history and the evils we are all capable of. One of the biggest obstacles facing the democratic self-determination of the American people are the ubiquitous presence of fear-based, self-serving, non-responsive dictatorial collectives in the public and private sector organizational landscape. These collectives are also known as boards of directors, corporations, armies, security forces, city councils, governments, secret societies, fraternities, etc. The CIA is one of the most sophisticated and dangerous of these collectives, acting as it does to facilitate large-scale criminal activities such as insurance and bank scams, large-scale counterfeiting, smuggling, mass slaughter, economic deprivation, gun-running, drug-running, real estate scams, etc, to finance fascist revolution/conversions in cooperation with large sectors of the international corporate financial infrastructure. These criminal interactions can be considered the greatest threat to the integrity of constitutional democracy, the continuity of world economic systems, and the long-term viability of planetary biological systems upon which all species depend for life. The best defense against external manipulation are deeply held values and beliefs which form the basis for constructive and coherent self-directed action. I've sorted the references into nine subject areas. They are social psychology (SP), psychology (P), history (H), economics (E), political science (PS), spirituality(S), medicine (M), philosophy (Ph), and criminology (Cr). The last section is for the individual addict/alcoholic who still abuses and introduces a community based addiction reduction and antiviolence/community stabilization program that anyone can begin to implement. intro The subject areas are listed hierarchically according to the author's completely arbitrary standards of importance, however no one area is perceived to be more important than any other in the larger picture of our experience. The references in each subject area are numbered hierarchically in

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: K [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sure, Koresh was minding his own business - dealing weapons and fucking little girls. Nice religion. Apparently you subscribe to the Waco Witch's philosophy of "burn them alive to prevent them from being abused". Nope. I think Koresh and his lieutenants did the killing. I'm amazed that so many people choose to support this psychopath; amazed, but not really surprised. I suspect a coordinated disinfo campaign, possibly Chinese-sponsored, directed at all US gov't actions, a classic Leninist strategy to demoralize the US people.

Do you have any evidence to back up this contention? I ask because the scientists I personally know best - a physicist and a geologist [both public university professors] and a botanist and an orbital systems researcher [both employed by corporations] are all non- doctrinaire mainline Protestant churchgoers. None has suffered at the hands of their peers that I know of - two are department heads - they work, they publish, they're accorded professional respect, and they neither vociferously include nor exclude their beliefs from their work. Indeed, I'm told that the field of petroleum geology attracts a number of fundy jeezoids, who manage to stay employed despite the rather sharp division between a literal interpretation of Genesis and modern geophysics. IMHO, the notion that the "perfect scientist" is an atheist, is just another myth, or is a best a drastic oversimplification of attitudes in US, western and worldwide scientific communities. Sorry, should have been a little more explicit. However, Ric, let me ask how many of your scientist acquaintances are prominent in their fields? Yes, I know a lot of scientists who are quite devout. I also note that those scientists who rise to the top of the profession...and this may have more to do with public perception than with scholarship...tend to be at best agnostic. Some of the most prominent public spokespersons for assorted disciplines, such as the late Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov, Stephen Jay Gould, and (I *think*) Stephen Hawking, are or were strongly atheistic. It's my impression that for a scientist to achieve "superstar" rank, s/he has to reject anything that smacks of orthodox religion. New Age or otherwise heterodox views (e.g., some form of Buddhism) are acceptable; orthodoxy is not; and atheism appears to be preferable. = Robert F.

[CTRL] The political lessons of the Waco massacre
-Caveat Lector- The political lessons of the Waco massacre Reprinted from The International Workers Bulletin -April 26, 1993 http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/aug1999/wac2-a27.shtml The WSWS is here republishing the statement which first appeared in The International Workers Bulletin , the printed newspaper of the Socialist Equality Party, which was the forerunner of the World Socialist Web Site. In the days following the incineration of 86 people, including 25 children, at the Branch Davidian compound outside Waco, Texas, the explanations supplied by the Clinton administration and the FBI for launching the assault have begun to fall apart. Administration spokesmen like Attorney General Janet Reno, FBI Director William Sessions and Clinton himself have flatly contradicted each other on the circumstances of the attack, its timing and motivation. The claims that the final assault on the religious cult was carried out to save the lives of the children or to stop their sexual abuse by Koresh have no credibility. The assault was mounted in a fashion which was deliberately provocative and with wanton disregard for the innocent lives which were placed in danger. There is no indication that FBI and Justice Department officials gave the slightest consideration to how the 25 children, including 17 under 10 years of age, could be saved, and there were no special tactics devised for this purpose. The FBI did not even call the Waco fire department until after the blaze began. Judging from its statements, the White House apparently believes that the great mass of people are simply gullible fools. Clinton's absurd declaration placing sole blame for the massacre on David Koresh is self-serving and contradictory. He denounced the Branch Davidian leader as "irrational and probably insane," claiming "he bears ultimate responsibility for the carnage that ensued." But if Koresh was insane, he was by definition not responsible for his actions. How could federal officials then expect him to respond rationally to an assault on the compound by an armored vehicle? Moreover, there is mounting evidence to disprove the initial FBI claims that the deaths were the result of mass suicide. All six survivors who have spoken to defense attorneys have given similar accounts that the fire began when an armored vehicle smashed through a wall of the compound and ruptured a large propane tank. The survivors have also stated that the tank attack caused structural damage inside the compound that made it impossible to open doors once the fire began. The position of the bodies so far discovered, distributed widely throughout the compound, indicates that the victims were not herded together or held at gunpoint by Koresh and his closest aides. Rather the fire raced through the old wooden structure so swiftly that most were overcome by smoke and only a handful could make their way out. On Thursday, the medical examiner in Waco angrily contradicted government claims that gunshot wounds had been found in several bodies. Regardless of what started the fire, it was an armed assault by dozens of federal agents which began the confrontation February 28, and a second assault, spearheaded by armored vehicles, which set in motion the tragic events of April 19. Throughout the siege, the federal authorities rejected such elementary measures for defusing the situation as allowing relatives of the Branch Davidians to speak directly to cult members and seek to convince them to leave peacefully. A political decision Any objective consideration of the Waco events leads inexorably to the conclusion that political considerations were behind the decision to launch a tank-led assault on April 19. Clinton administration officials were under growing pressure from the federal agents on the spot to settle accounts with Koresh. The New York Times reported, "It was not in the nature of the law enforcement officials, who had seen the federal agents killed during the initial raid on Feb. 28, to let the cult go on with its way of life." Other press accounts cited the determination of federal agents to wreak vengeance for the death of four BATF officers and the wounding of 16 others. They spoke of "bringing things to a logical conclusion." While the need to reassure the FBI and BATF played a role, so did the prospect that Koresh's continued defiance was undermining the authority of the federal government. "These people had thumbed their noses at law enforcement," said Larry Potts, the assistant director of the FBI's criminal division. The Wall Street Journal wrote, "An important factor in deciding to proceed, said one FBI agent, was the feeling among FBI and Justice Department officials that they should take back control of the situation." The press has been silent on the obvious connection between the Branch Davidian siege and the prison uprising in Lucasville, Ohio, which broke out in the final week of the Waco standoff.

From www.mikenew.com/kosovo_ed.html
Kosovo: The New World Army Evolves
Daniel D. New
Based upon the precedent of Macedonia, and the lack of
Congressional backbone to stop the placement of American troops
under foreign officers, the New World Army is becoming a reality.
When Army Specialist Michael New refused to wear a United Nations
uniform and serve under a general from Finland, his attorneys
pointed out that the precedent would lead to more deployments
based upon the Globalist Agenda of George Bush and Bill Clinton.
The House of Representatives, perhaps because they are closer to
the pulse of the People, actually passed legislation in 1996 to
forbid the forced deployment of American troops under the United
Nations. (HR2540, Tom DeLay). The bill never came out of Senate
committee. But time has passed and like our society at large, the
attention span of Congress is short and there are matters more
pressing.
In 1812-14 we fought a war with Great Britain over the issue of
His Majestys Ships pressing American citizens into service in
the Royal Navy. We considered our citizenship as sacred, and as
an issue of sovereignty. We argued, at the point of cannon and
sword, that no nation could impress the citizens of another
nation into service against their will that such was a return
to feudalism. Washington was burned, but we won the war and
sovereignty was maintained. For a while.
How ironic that in Kosovo, American citizens will be forced to
serve under British soldiers, against their will, this time
ordered there by an American President!
At issue is not the quality of the British officer in question.
Hes no doubt a gentleman and a fine officer. The entire issue is
whether it is legal, whether it is lawful, and if so, whether
American citizens are no longer sovereigns. Is the "Grand
Experiment" in self government expired? Many say this is the end
of the Republic, and they may well be right.
When Americans are forced to bear arms in a conflict not their
own, they are turned into involuntary mercenaries. No semantic
smokescreen can make it anything else.
When a soldier accepts extra pay for the hazardous duty of
serving a foreign power, under foreign officers, he becomes a
voluntary mercenary. Lets start calling a spade a spade.
When Congress abrogates its responsibility to control the
military involvement of this country, as clearly stated in the
Constitution, it has thrown in the towel and is no longer
functioning as intended by the Framers. Only Congress can declare
war. George Bush broke the law, but appealed to what he
maintained was a higher law the United Nations when he
illegally defended Kuwait. At least he acted under color of law.
Bill Clinton has built upon the Bush legacy of
internationalization of our military by telling Congress AND the
United Nations that he will do as he pleases, that he does not
need either of them, and Madelaine Albright has the temerity to
boldly proclaim the grand lie that the President is acting with
Constitutional authority.
The only authority he has, if any, for these acts of treason must
be found in Presidential Decision Directive #25, a top-secret
document that even your Congressman is not allowed to read! This
is the document whereby the president has authorized himself (!)
to ignore Congress, ignore the Constitution, and to place our
soldiers wherever he feels they are most needed.
Bill Clinton is a rogue head of state. He is acting without any
authority whatsoever. He is committing impeachable offenses at an
ever-increasing pace, now that the Senate has capitulated and
strangled on phony polls and public opinion rather than their
sworn constitutional duty. The age-old struggle of Rex Lex has
once again prevailed over Lex Rex. ("The King is over the Law"
vs. "The Law is over the King.")
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the
governed. (Have you heard this somewhere before?) Whenever any
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or abolish it.

-Caveat Lector- From FreeRepublic.com "A Conservative News Forum" http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a37c54a4a2562.htm 'Allies' In The Balkans Foreign Affairs News Keywords: CLINTON'S FOREIGN POLICY, CORRUPT KOSOVO AUTHORITIES, KLA, ALBRIGHT AND RUBIN ADOPTED ALBANIAN CAUSE Source: Washington Times Published: August 25, 1999 Author: Amos Perlmutter Posted on 08/26/1999 07:08:10 PDT by Stand Watch Listen The Clinton administration's handling of the three crises in Yugoslavia demonstrated a definite pattern. While acting in partnership with Slobodan Milosevic, U.S. officials simultaneously colluded with disparate and fratricidal ethnic forces in the hope of toppling the Yugoslav president. They have not succeeded in toppling Mr. Milosevic or in replacing Serbian rule in Bosnia and Kosovo with democratic forces. The opposite is true. The Milosevic authorities have been replaced with corrupt and authoritarian entities. There is little doubt about who controls Kosovo. The U.S. client, the Albanian KLA, is in command of much of the civilian administration of Kosovo. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright and her spokesman, James Rubin, have adopted the Albanian cause. In fact, they colluded with them before the talks in Ramboulliet, France, and after. An administration that claims dedication to the establishment of democratic regimes in the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia has helped create the opposite in Kosovo. KLA gangs have not disarmed. A fratricidal struggle between various KLA factions and the politically moderate group led by Ibrahim Rugova is continuing. The U.S. administration is inclined to support the former. Kosovo is becoming a center for narcotics trafficked by various KLA factions. What are the real aspirations of the KLA leaders? Their aim is to take over Albania with the support of its deposed president, the corrupt Sali Berisha, who has been their strongest supporter since before the war in Kosovo. Mr. Berisha is himself involved in drug trafficking, and has helped train some of the KLA factions. The Albanian "allies" of Mrs. Albright and Mr. Rubin are accomplices to the Kosovo authoritarian regime, which is not in conformity with U.S. purposes of creating democracy and stability. Jim Hoagland (The Washington Post, Aug. 19) in "Gangsters or good guys?" writes, "Kosovo's guerrillas turn out to be better politicians than Kosovo's politicians when it comes to winning over the Clinton administration." According to Mr. Hoagland, Mrs. Albright's confidant Mr. Rubin "has played a surprising operational role in elevating the international profile of the KLA's young leadership." From the early days of the Yugoslav conflict, the administration sought allies in their campaign against Mr. Milosevic. In Bosnia, the U.S. allies were the Muslims. American-born Muslim Bosnian politicians played the American game brilliantly. They lobbied Congress, established strong links with the administration and played a key role in the partition of Bosnia at Dayton, which created a Muslim-Croat Bosnian state headed by a Muslim leader, Alija Izetbegovic, and the renegade Bosnian Serb state. The same policy of aligning with anti-Milosevic forces without examining their democratic credentials has taken place with the Albanians. It was Mr. Rubin that directly negotiated with the KLA on the process of its disarmament, which is far from complete. The KLA military factions are heavily equipped with arsenals hidden in caves in the mountains of Kosovo. Mr. Rubin made little effort to disabuse his political allies on the issue of disarmament, which is interpreted by his Albanian allies as a tacit U.S. endorsement. No lessons have yet been learned by the Clinton administration. Recent reports from Montenegro state that the United States has a new ally in the president of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic. Mr. Djukanovic is doing his best to break away from the union with Yugoslavia, therefore challenging Mr. Milosevic. As in the case of Kosovo, Mr. Djukanovic is calling for a referendum for independence. The Serbian reaction is fierce, especially the Serbian military. The Montenegrin president has learned from the cases of Bosnia and Kosovo that U.S. certification is the first step toward independence. Although Montenegro does not have an army or guerrilla force, U.S. alignment with Mr. Djukanovic will eventually call for Serbian intervention. The United States may become a handmaiden for the third war in Yugoslavia. If you want to know what nation-building in Kosovo will look like as a result of U.S. patronage, examine carefully what is now happening in Bosnia. A lead article titled "Leaders in Bosnia are said to steal up to $1 Billion: Blow to Nation-Building" (New York Times, Aug. 17) states: "As much as a billion dollars has disappeared from public funds or been stolen from international aid projects through fraud carried out by

[CTRL] Was it a Paper Moon? Did we go to the Moon?
-Caveat Lector- During my investigations and my ever questioning mind, I came across a book by a guy named Bill Kaysing (a few years ago), entitled "We Never Went to the Moon." He proposed that the Apollo missions were all staged. It sounds utterly absurd, until I read his book. In 1997 Fortean Times magazine (which I read) published a several page spread giving some of the evidence which proved that we never went there. Like Bill Kaysing, they questioned the Apollo photographs and hired a top British photography expert to analyse them. He concluded they were all faked, i.e. shot on a set, the lighting and shadows were all out of wack. Fast forward to about a year ago. A French self taught physicist met Bill and also became convinced the Apollo missions were a fraud. He wrote a very dificult to get book, "NASA Mooned America." Last year on CTRL I heard about a video made by investigative reporter (James Collier, co-author of "Votescam")called, "Was it Only a Paper Moon?" I just purchased and watched the two hour video and I'm convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that NASA staged one of the biggest hoax's ever perpetrated on America. Below are some of the many obvious mistakes in NASA's Apollo productions. Jim Collier ( the reporter) went to a lot of trouble making measurements of the module they supposedly went in and came to a valid conclusion that, with all their bulky breathing apparatus, they wouldn't have been able to get in and out of the bloody thing. The craft in the museum was different to the craft shown in supposedly live B/W footage of the craft, and the pilots floating in and out of the hatch, THE HATCH IS OBVIOUSLY WIDER AND THE RIVETS ARE DIFFERENT. 1. The most incredible part of his investigation was the fact that when he went to NASA to ask for all the documentation on one of the most important events of the 20th cetnury, they had destroyed it all. When he went to Boeing, who made the Lan, Apollo craft, guess what, they had destroyed all of the documentation too!! 2. One of the reasons he wanted the Lans specs was because it had jets mounted on the top of the craft on the left and right. These jets were supposed to power the craft horizontally, while the main propulsion came from below. He wanted to know the physics of how those two top jets could function and the craft not flip around in circles, getting nowhere? 3. The Rover, (battery car) that they ran around in on the moon, in one famous scene they take it for a spin and it is kicking up dust from the rear tires. The problem is the dust goes up at the most 8 feet, with no atmosphere on the moon and 1/6 th the gravity, that dust should rise about 60 feet and end in a perfect arch. It doesn't, it goes up eight feet and abruptly stops. It hits atmosphere because it was a filmed somewhere in the USA according to Jim. 4. There isn't one star seen whilst they are on the moon. With no atmosphere the stars should be incredibly clear and bright. I read the reason the NASA didn't include the stars was because it would be extremely difficult to fool Astronomers and get star placement correct. 5. One shot shows an imprint of astronaut's shoe in the Moon surface. How can there be enough moisture in a 250 degree heat dustbowl to hold particles together to make an imprint? How could thay survive in the craft in that kind of heat? 6. When they supposedly land on the moon the footage looks really fake. With .10,000 pounds of thrust there should have been a massive dust cloud. Instead it looks like airbrushing. There is no crater under the exhaust. 7. As I said before, all the photographs , (and there aren't that many considering it was such a momentous event) are off. Shadows are wrong and lighting angles do not match up with the only light source, the sun. The dark side of the craft is lit up like Disneyland; where did that light come from? 8. A very important question is one of radiation. Once they got clear of the earths atmosphere the radiation will kill you very quickly. The craft and suits did not look as if they were hermetically sealed. 9. We know white men can't jump, but on the moon one of the astro's only jumps about 4 feet. With only 1/6 the gravity, why only 4 feet? Why didn't they throw a ball 60 feet in the air instead of throwing an equipment case 4 feet above their heads? 10. Here's a good one. A moon rock has a letter C on it and is rounded in parts. How can you round a rock with no wind, rain or sand erosion and no atmosphere? I guess props missed that one. 11. Why didn't they place mirror reflectors up there so we would know for sure that they went there? 12. In shots inside the craft as it heads for the Moon, how come blue light (looks like sky)is coming in through one of the windows? There's no blue light in space. And the anomolies keep on coming. It is incedible nobody has bothered really getting answers to these questions. The only criticism I have of his video is that he didn't get or at least try to get

[CTRL] [1] The Secret War Against The Jews
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Secret War Against The Jews John Loftus Mark Aarons©1994 ISBN 0-312-11057-X 658pps - first edition St. Martins Press 175 Fifth Avenue New York, NY, 10010 - Whatsoever ye shall do unto the least of men . . . So shall ye do also unto me Jesus of Nazareth, called by the Romans "King of theJews," circa A.D. 32 Fuck theJews . . . they won't vote for us anyway. The Honorable James Baker, Secretary of State, United States of America, circa A.D. 1992 INTRODUCTION THE SECRET WAR AGAINST THE JEWS The major powers of the world have repeatedly planned covert operations to bring about the partial or total destruction of Israel. Long before there even was a Jewish state in Palestine, Western spies already were out to wreck the Zionist dream. The savage extent of the secret wars against the Jews will horrify the Western public. This chapter of espionage history, beginning in the 1920s, and continuing to the present day, has never been revealed before. Half a world away from Israel, a sleepy suburban community hides one of the secret entrances to the underworld of espionage. Most, but not all, of the classified archives of the U.S. government are in Suitland, Maryland, just outside Washington,D.C. The Suitland complex contains several restricted access buildings, including the one where Jonathan Pollard worked for Naval Intelligence, before he was discovered to be an Israeli spy. Across from the Naval Intelligence facility with its geodesic radar domes is a one-story brick warehouse, built as a storage annex for the National Archives. This is where the government's secrets are buried, literally. Only the top floor shows above ground. It is a long, low building, about the length of a football field, surrounded by wide, well-mowed grassy fields that yield no clue of what lies beneath. Anyone can visit the top floor of the facility. It is open to the public. There is even a shuttle out to the Suitland annex from downtown Wash ington. The gray government van stops halfway between the White House and the Capitol on the corner of the imposing main Archives building on Pennsylvania Avenue, in front of the motto carved in stone: "What is past is prologue." It is chilling to be reminded that history really does repeat itself. The National Archives hold the records of the Indian wars, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Most of these records are held in storage at Suitland. The original documents lie in humble gray boxes, on row after row of dark metal shelves. Here are the orders of generals and rosters of immigrants. Here are the files of American diplomacy and foreign policy. The Suitland vaults also contain the records of American espionage and covert action, the kind of foreign policy that the history books are not meant to mention. Beneath the public reading rooms on the first floor is another world. It is entered from a locked elevator that can be operated only with a coded security card. In the underworld below, one-third of modern history is still classi fied. Here are the captured files of the Third Reich, some of which are still secret half a century later. Here are records of the British secret service, which no unprivileged British or American citizens are allowed to see. There are levels and levels of hidden nuances, layers of secrets. After the journey down, the elevator doors open onto a long, wide underground street stretching off into the distance, dimly lit by ceiling lights fifty feet overhead. On either side of the cement street are tall, thick, blast-proof doors, the kind you see in old-fashioned banks. Some of the heavy steel doors are open. Small squares of bright light spill out onto the street from the entrances to the vaults. There are about twenty of these enormous storage caverns, each approximately an acre in size. It is like the last scene from the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. The aisles of the vaults stretch hundreds of feet away into the darkness. From the aisles, rows and rows of shelves stacked with classified files reach two stories up to the ceiling. The workers scurry about pushing giant stepladders on wheels as they retrieve the old documents from their slumber. As you come out of the elevator, the number-six vault on the left belongs to the National Archives. Just inside the door to this top-secret room are several plain wooden tables, a small office, and several rows of filing cabinets. Only a few people from the National Archives staff work here. The rest are teams of retired spies or reserve officers from one of the military intelligence agencies on their annual tour of duty. They are reviewing the old classified files, page by page, to see what can be handed over to the Archives staff and passed upstairs into the public domain. It is a slow process,
[CTRL] Responding to Bioterrorism: the Role of the Microbiology Laboratory
-Caveat Lector- http://www.asmusa.org/memonly/asmnews/aug99/forum.html American Society for Microbiology (ASM) James W. Snyder is Professor of Pathology and Director of Microbiology in the Department of Pathology, Division of Laboratory Medicine, University of Louisville School of Medicine and Hospital, Louisville, Ky. He serves on the ASM Professional Affairs Committee. Links to Other ASM Pages: Table of Contents ASM News Issues Responding to Bioterrorism: the Role of the Microbiology Laboratory The Clinical Microbiology Laboratory will play a critical role in countering bioterrorism; what is the level of preparedness required to respond to such an event? James W. Snyder Bioterrorism poses a formidable new challenge to the clinical microbiology laboratory. The detection and recognition of the agents predicted to be used in acts of terrorism will, without a doubt, challenge the capacity and capability of many clinical microbiology laboratories in obtaining as much information as is possible in the shortest period of time. For example, the detection of Bacillus anthracis, the agent of anthrax, is not complex and its recovery in blood cultures during the active pneumonic form of the disease is common. However, most laboratories, when encountering Bacillus spp. in blood cultures, commonly regard such isolates as contaminants and do not pursue further identification or consider the possibility of the isolate being B. anthracis. Even greater problems would occur for viruses and toxins which are not normally examined for in the clinical microbiology laboratory. There is a significant need for reagents and rapid detection procedures for the detection of such agents. The role that the clinical microbiology laboratory will play is of great importance to the frontline clinicians and emergency personnel who are dependent upon this information for guiding therapy, assessing the need for decontamination and isolation of patients, instituting preventive measures, and maintaining a safe environment. Its major responsibility will be to detect, recover, and identify the etiological agent. Three scenarios have been identified that will require the involvement of the clinical microbiology laboratory: 1) an overt act of bioterrorism in which the Federal Bureau of Investigation would request the assistance of the local microbiology laboratory to provide a preliminary analysis of an environmental sample suspected of containing a biological agent; 2) a covert act leading to a disease outbreak during the early stages of which the laboratory would receive samples from patients exhibiting varying disease etiologies and apply routine diagnostic procedures that are not targeted to the detection of biothreat agents; 3) a confrmed outbreak (late stage), in which specimens would be received from patients who are suspected of having been exposed to a biological agent and the laboratory would be requested to identify the specific agent. Due to the disparity in expertise and levels of diagnostic capabilities that exist among clinical microbiology laboratories throughout the United States, strategies for dealing with biological agents must be identified and directed to increasing the capacity of the laboratory in countering bioterrorism. Such strategies should not be strictly focused on the laboratory but rather developed and designed as part of a total plan to facilitate integration with surveillance and epidemiology programs, and most importantly, communication between laboratories. These and other related issues were addressed at the recent Partnership Meeting on Responding to Bioterrorism convened by the Center for Infectious Diseases and held at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia. The current assessment is that most clinical microbiology laboratories do not possess the capacity or the expertise to detect and accurately identify those biological agents classified as high priority, namely the agents causing anthrax, brucellosis, botulism, cholera, plague, and smallpox. Several reasons can be identified to account for this lack of capacity and expertise: (1) restriction of the level of service to the recovery and identification of bacteria and not the detection of toxins and viruses; (2) the lack of a biosafety level III facility for the handling of biological agents in many laboratories; (3) the dilution of the pool of microbiologists who are trained in classical microbiology; (4) the outsourcing of microbiology tests by some facilities which thus are in no position to respond to a bioterrorist act; (5) the lack of reliable and rapid diagnostic tests and culture media for the detection and recovery of the targeted biological agents; (6) the lack of communication between laboratories, resulting in failure to notify other laboratories within the local or regional area that a bioterrorist act has occurred or to supply information regarding the suspected agent; and (7) the unwillingness of some

They might believe that the secret war against the Jews petered out with the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and ended with Angletons retirement in 1974. Any reasonable person might expect that the peculiar combination of bigotry and greed that gave momentum to previous anti-Semitic operations could never be repeated in these modern times. We understand the argument that Westem civilization has progressed too far to tolerate another devious bigot like Jack Philby. The courts and legislatures would not perrnit another greedy manipulator like Allen DuLles to arise. The press and public scrutiny would never again permit Israel to be endangered for the sake of oil. Our nations have outgrown their fathers' secret sins. The "old spies" belong to another age. After all, the old order has crumbled away Jimmy Carter, Menachim Begin, and Anwar Sadat signed the Carnp David Accords, the Berlin Wall came down, the Soviet Union has been overthrown from within, the United Nations smashed Saddam Hussein, and peacekeepers are trying for the first time to intervene in places such as Bosnia-Hercegovenia and Somalia. Even the Israelis and the Palestine Liberation Organization are shaking hands and slowly learning to live together. The wars are over everywhere. The world has changed. We have learned that what is past is not always prologue. We have learned to let the Jews live in peace. Our sources in the intelligence community say that we have learned nothing and that nothing has changed except the levels of secrecy. Every evil thing that happened behind the scenes in the Holocaust and the Cold War happened again recently. The secret espionage war against the Jews continued. It was just better concealed, that's all. Like a great stage shrouded in darkness, the play went on with new characters playing the same parts, acting out the same scenes. Only the names on the playbill are different. Thirty years later Jimmy Carter played the part of the naive but honest President Truman. Neither man knew that he was not in control of his own government, let alone the intelligence community. Just as the Vessel fraud deceived Truman in the 1940s, the disappearing oil scam completely conned the Carter White House in the 1970s. It was virtually the same trick, only the victims had changed. Ronald Reagan recently revived the part of President Eisenhower. Both were affable grandfathers, beloved by the general public. Both were elderly men with serious health problems who took long naps and paid more attention to outdoor recreation than the affairs of state. Both relied on unscrupulous aides to make their policy for them. Both claimed ''plausible deniabiLity'' and shifted the blame when caught in a lie. Both were gifted liars, who paid smiling lip service to Israel while aiding its Arab enemies. James Baker played the part of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Both were anti-lsraeli; both secretly sent arms and money to appease Jew-hating dictators; both were surprised when the dictators declared war on Israel. Saddam Hussein of Iraq and President Hafe Assad of Syria alternately played the part of Hitler. The part of CIA chief Allen Dulles, was played by his own protege, Bill Casey, a genial crook witlh no sense of personal morality or national principles. Both used the intelligence services for personal profit and for the benefit of the oil companies. Both. used the British secret service to hide illegal operations from Congress. Dulles put the Nazis on the payroll; Casey hired Arab terrorists. Both had "useful idiots" who did their bidding. In Dulles's day, Frank Wisner played the part of loyal buffoon and private spy. In Casey's day, it was Oliver North. Both were narrow-minded patriots who hated bigotry but elevated stupidity to an art form. Both ran secret offices outside the normal channels of govermnent, without any supervision or screening of their agents. Wisner hired Nazis who turned out to be Communist agents. North hired a PLO terrorist who tumed out to be a Communist agent. Wisner killed himself when he realized what he had done. North may be too unaware ever to understand how much harm he has caused to the United States and Israel. Caspar Weinberger re-created the role of Secretary of DefenseJames Forrestal. Both were anti-lsraeli, pro-Arab, hard-nosed businessmen, determined to make the Middle East safe for American oil companies. The Bechtel Corporation starred as the Bechtel Corporation. The corrupt British. secret sernce played itself. Same things never change. Finally, George Bush played the part of Vice President Nixon, but with different motivation. Nixon's
[CTRL] [3] The Secret War Against The Jews
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Secret War Against The Jews John Loftus Mark Aarons©1994 ISBN 0-312-11057-X 658pps - first edition St. Martins Press 175 Fifth Avenue New York, NY, 10010 --[3]-- CHAPTER 16 THE MEXICAN CONNECTION The history books say that George Bush was a war hero, a Texas entrepreneur, then a senior figure in several Republican administrations. As president, he worked for a kinder, gentler nation. Our sources in the intelligence community said that the American public knows more about Kurt Waldheim's background than they do about President Bush's. George was himself one of the "old spies."[1] The American voters who read Bush's 1987 autobiography, Looking Forward, certainly would have had no idea about many of the seamier sides to his family background, his business and espionage activities, and his political career. It was a thoroughly sanitized version of history. But does that make him a bad man? According to a recent history, Spider's Web, by Alan Friedman, George Bush was certainly a devious man. The American arms sales to Egypt and Saudi Arabia begun by Carter were illegally diverted to Iraq soon after Reagan and Bush took office. Once American arms started going to the Arabs, only a few regimes, such as Gadhafi's Libya, could not obtain shipments. It was Bush himself who arranged the financing, established the policy, and created the covert arms network that backed Saddam Hussein .[2] As discussed in the last chapter, when Bush was director of the CIA in the 1970s, the Agency published false oil data to justify the arming of the Arab nations. After Bush returned to office in the 1980s, his arms-for-oil agenda became clear. According to Friedman's analysis of CIA files, U.S. purchases of Iraqi oil increased twelvefold to over 1 million barrels a day, which helped finance Iraq's war machine .[3] From the beginning, Bush's policy was clearly tilted toward the Arabs and away from Israel. In 1981, when the Israelis destroyed Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor at Osirak, Bush was the first world leader to say that Israel needed to be punished.[4] Even after Iraq turned American weapons against Israel in the Gulf War in 1991, Bush refused to permit Israeli pilots to defend their country for fear it would irritate the other Arab nations. The Israeli intelligence officers we spoke to regard Bush as their most vicious American opponent since Allen Dulles.[5] There is, however, no consensus among the Western intelligence com-munity. Some of our sources agree with the Israelis that George Bush was the last, and the worst, of the Dulles clique that brought the CIA into discredit.[6] Others say that George Bush is a good man with bad friends. His only major character flaw was an excessive personal loyalty to friends and family. Bush himself was ignorant of the plotting that went on around him.[7] Although it is true that your friends will do you more damage than your enemies, at some point Bush's defense of ignorance wears a bit thin. A joke going around during the Iran-Contra scandal said that "The two biggest lies in Washington are that Ronald Reagan was in the loop and George Bush was out of it." Because of the importance of Bush's role in the history of covert operations against Israel, we discuss his background in some detail. It is a history that has never been revealed fully before. In this chapter we consider the following allegations: o Bush's father and grandfather worked with Allen Dulles to finance the Third Reich and then, when war broke out, cloaked their activities under the cover of intelligence operations. o George Bush established an oil leasing business in Texas, the biggest client of which was Edwin Pauley, Dulles's confidant, Nixon's bagman, and a front man for CIA money laundering. Bush himself played a minor role in CIA covert operations from the early 1960s. o Through Pauley, Nixon recruited Bush to handle a variety of sensitive assignments. Bush later asked Nixon to resign for fear that the Watergate investigations might uncover further scandals. o While not anti-Semitic, Bush was definitely anti-Israeli and pro-Arab, a bias that colored American oil and arms policy in the Middle East. The real story of George Bush starts well before he launched his own career. It goes back to the 1920s, when the Dulles brothers and the other pirates of Wall Street were first making their deals with the Nazis. To understand Bush's role as a senior official of the Republican party, as head of the CIA, as U.S. vice president, and then, ultimately, in the White House, it is important to trace the Bush family roots right back to the beginning of the secret espionage war against the Jews. Bush's family, say many of the former intelligence officers we interviewed for this chapter, was nothing to be proud of. The family, and especially his grandfather and father, dragged him into some dirty business, and he stayed with it too long, trying to make a bad thing

Aspin and Banks had connections at the highest levels of American intelligence. More established and "well connected" British security firms were shouldered aside. Apparently, Aspin had told Bush too much. Aspin and Banks had the CIA contract for Angola, and there was nothing the British government could do about it.[54] Banks enlisted the help of a friend in Special Branch, and at least four members of the Aspin-Banks private army were members of the British secret service.[55] But all in all, Aspin's mercenaries were a motley crew. The first group of mercenaries were pulled out shortly after President Ford terminated all CIA operations in Angola except for intelligence gathering. Nothing, however, precluded a British citizen like Aspin from recruiting replacements. By summertime, Aspin's forces would be the only Western army left in Angola. The anti-Communist Angolans were getting nervous. Despite the Congressional ban, there were continued promises of American support. George Bush still had a few million dollars left in the CIA slush fund for contingencies, some of which was promised to the Angolans. Henry Kissinger told them to keep fighting no matter what Congress said and, within days of the ban, gave promises of aid to Jonas Savimbi's UNITA.[56] It was Leslie Aspin who stayed on the ground in Zaire, coordinating the war across the border. Before the Americans pulled out, he made at least one close friend from the American contingent, a young officer named Bill Buckley, who had been detached to the CIA from Special Forces, the U.S. army's elite Green Beret units, which specialize in psychological warfare and counterinsurgency. The two men forged a link that led them to work together on other under-the-table operations.[57] As will be seen in Chapter 18, it was to be a fateful connection for the secret espionage war against Israel. Aspin and Buckley were two of a kind: ex-commandos, full of fun and energy, and willing to cut a few corners for the sake of the mission. According to our sources, what endeared the pair to the CIA was their disdain for bureaucratic niceties and their willingness to bend the law a little to get the job done.[58] Officially, George Bush was telling the regular staff of the CIA that they had to obey the congressional ban and pull out of Angola. Unofficially, of course, the CIA and Kissinger were telling the Angolans to keep on fighting. Over the next year the mercenaries of the British secret service kept the Angolan guerrillas afloat. By 1977, when Carter was sworn in as U.S. president, Aspin's back-channel was well established. He had made the under-the-table link between Bush and the British and South African governments. Aspin's South African mercenary friends continued the major part of the program, with the covert support of at least one oil company.[59] It does not take a genius to figure out why an oil company was paying for mercenaries after the CIA pulled out. Several U.S. oil companies had multimillion-dollar investments in the oil-rich Cabinda region of Angola, which they did not want to see in Communist hands. The irony is that the Communist Angolan Government quickly pledged that the American oil companies would be safe from nationalization and would continue to make healthy profits in Angola. Obviously, no one believed this pledge. That, say OUT intelligence sources, was what the war was really about: As in the Middle East, the key was American oil rights.[60] Aspin's army eventually achieved its victory at the negotiating table, and the British mercenary troops eventually were called home, leaving the South Africans to launch token resistance raids. Everybody at the CIA, including Buckley, got medals. Aspin got a new job, as the unofficial British bagman for American covert operations hidden from Congress.[61] As we shall see, Aspin was one of the first arms traders to open an account in the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, which played such an important part in the secret espionage war against the Jews in the twelve years when George Bush was vice president and then president.[62] It is no coincidence that Aspin went back to work on joint British-American money laundering just as U.S. intelligence was closing down one of the wildest, and most illegal, money-laundering schemes in American history: the Ed Wilson Affair. The following version of events was told to us by an extremely reliable CIA official with in-depth knowledge of the Wilson case and then confirmed by other sources.[63] In 1971 Ed Wilson had been fired from the CIA and promptly hired by a Naval Intelligence-National Security Agency joint operation known as Task Force 157. The NSA was involved in this operation

Throughout this report, the term "infectious disease" is used to refer to all communicable diseases, including parasitic and zoonotic diseases, and some forms of respiratory infections and diarrhoeal diseases. 2 $ refers to US dollars. 3. The term "billion" is used to mean a thousand million. 1.1 THE BIGGEST KILLER OF THE YOUNG An infectious disease crisis of global proportions is today threatening hard-won gains in health and life expectancy. Infectious diseases are now the world's biggest killer of children and young adults. They account for more than 13 million deaths a year - one in two deaths in developing countries. Over the next hour alone, 1 500 people will die from an infectious disease - over half of them children under five. Of the rest, most will be working-age adults - many of them breadwinners and parents. Both are vital age groups that countries can ill afford to lose. Most deaths from infectious diseases occur in developing countries - the countries with the least money to spend on health care. In developing countries, about one third of the population - 1.3 billion people - live on incomes of less than $1 a day. Almost one in three children are malnourished. One in five are not fully immunized by their first birthday. And over one third of the world's population lack access to essential drugs. Against this backdrop of poverty and neglect it is little wonder that deadly infectious diseases have been allowed to gain ground. Today some of the poorest countries are paying a heavy price for the world's complacency and neglect. All this has been made worse by the huge increase in mass population movements over the past decade. In 1996, as many as 50 million people - 1% of the world's population - had been uprooted from their homes. Not only are refugees and displaced people especially vulnerable to infectious disease; their movement can help spread infectious diseases into new areas. Meanwhile, the growth of densely populated cities with unsafe water, poor sanitation and widespread poverty has created the perfect breeding ground for outbreaks of disease. In deprived inner-city areas children are less likely to be immunized against killer diseases and parents are less likely to be able to pay for health care when they get sick. Under these circumstances, diseases that were once under control can rapidly gain a foothold and re-establish themselves. In addition, many diseases once thought unrelated to infectious diseases - especially cancers - are now known to be the result of chronic infections. Cervical cancer, for example - one of the most common cancers among women in the developing world - is now known to be associated with human papillomavirus infection. Meanwhile, chronic infectious hepatitis B and hepatitis C can both cause liver cancer and it is estimated that over 6% of the world's population is at risk. And bladder cancer can result from chronic infection with schistosomiasis. But infectious diseases are not just a developing country problem. Unless checked, the crisis threatens the industrialized countries as well. Old scourges such as tuberculosis and diphtheria have occurred in explosive epidemics in Europe and other industrialized countries. And a 1996 outbreak of polio in Albania, Greece and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia showed how easily a disease can be reintroduced to countries once free of the disease if immunization coverage is allowed to drop. A rapid increase in air travel has meant that diseases can now be transported from one continent to another in a matter of hours. Even today, no country is safe from the threat of infectious diseases. This is happening at a time when the arsenal of drugs available to treat infectious diseases is being progressively depleted due to increasing resistance of microbes to antimicrobial drugs. Because the scale and complexity of the infectious disease crisis is so great, and the causes
[CTRL] [4a] The Secret War Against The Jews
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Secret War Against The Jews John Loftus Mark Aarons©1994 ISBN 0-312-11057-X 658pps - St. Martins Press 175 Fifth Avenue New York, NY, 10010 --[4a]-- CHAPTER 17 REHEARSAL IN ANGOLA Most of the Western histories of Israeli intelligence are quite negative. The book Dangerous Liaison, for example, portrays the Mossad as a group of gunrunning maniacs, shipping arms to Africa and Latin America for personal profit. Israeli arms deals have been widely exposed and just as widely criticized by the media. Our sources in the Western intelligence community have a slightly different perspective.[1] In their opinion, the Mossad's arms transfers were quite small in scope, usually conducted at the behest of other Western nations, and often were submerged by much larger arms deals by Western intelligence services that have escaped public attention. Israel is a lightning rod for the media. Over the years it has become a convenient scapegoat for other countries' operations. "The Jews get paid to take the blame for our screw-ups," one former Pentagon official admitted candidly. "The American Government cannot be seen in public as propping up violent dictators who torture their own citizens. The Mossad trains the security teams for America's clients. That is the price of doing business."[2] According to our sources, a small but significant portion of U.S. military assistance to Israel is diverted to fund operations of which Congress would never approve. It is a kickback that Israel must pay to the Pentagon, State Department, and CIA in return for their support on Capitol Hill.[3] Our sources believe that Israel would not get a cent out of Congress were it not for the support of the military, the defense industry, and the intelligence community.[4] The myth of the powerful Jewish lobby is, unfortunately, just a myth, as is the claim that Jews dominate the American media. At 6 percent of the population, Jews are one of the tiniest minorities in the United States. Half of all American Jews live in the New YorkNew Jersey area and another group is concentrated on the southeast coast of Florida. All the rest of the states have less than 3 percent of Jewish voters. Jews account for less than 1 percent of the population in 80 percent of the U.S. congressional districts. They just lack the votes to get a foreign aid bill through on their own. They need help.[5] Many Israelis privately fear that their country has become an eco- nomic colony of the American "military industrial complex." Annually that complex contributes $3.8 billion to Israel-almost ten times the amount raised by the United Jewish Appeal in the United States. "When 20 percent. of our nation's budget depends on American largesse, we do as the Americans ask," said one retired Israeli officer. Whether it is training security forces for an African dictator or running guns to the Contras, the Jews do what they are told to do.[6] In fairness, the Israeli involvement in under-the-table arms and covert operations is relatively small. Jews are small-time players in the world of international arms sales. When it comes to covert operations, the Mossad is almost insignificant compared to the American intelligence community. When compared to the British secret service, the Jews are Boy Scouts. For the really dirty tricks, heavy-duty arms deals, and outrageously illegal covert operations, the Americans turn to Britain, not Israel. The British government has the most repressive combination of libel laws, press censorship, and criminal sanctions against disclosing intelligence operations of any country in the democratic world. It knows how to keep a secret from its own press, public, and Parliament. More important, it knows how to shift the blame to others when an operation is exposed. While Israel has been roundly criticized for training Africans how to kill, smuggling guns to the Contras, and shipping arms to Iran, the British secret service was doing much worse, much earlier, and in complete secrecy. The Western public has no idea that the Jews were set up to take the blame for a series of British operations. To this day, the Israeli public believes that its intelligence service originated the Iran-Contra affair in 1985. They have never been told that the British secret service was running the arms pipeline several years earlier, at the request of Vice President George Bush. To understand just how thoroughly the Jews were conned into taking the blame for recent covert intelligence scandals, we must examine how the British-Bush back-channel evolved. According to our sources, we must look back to Bush's largest covert operation as CIA director: the Angolan civil war. In fact, the Angolan war was the beginning of a web of scandals that is known by a number of names: Irangate, the Iran-Contra Affair, and the BCCI. Compared to this, the CIA's phony oil estimates in 1976 were only a minor fraud and had a very minor impact on Israel. In

The China Youth Daily reports that the government does not want people to realize that hot weather and suffocating air pollution are deteriorating the quality of life in Chinese cities. So for more than 30 years -- until last month -- the government never has reported a temperature higher than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Ones immediate reaction is smugness. How could those crazy communists think they could get away with something as transparent as lying about the weather? And if they lie about the temperature Lying from the top down But in America we have liars in high places, too. The federal judge in Paula Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton found that Clinton gave false, misleading and evasive answers that were designed to obstruct the judicial process, and fined him $90,000 because he deliberately violated this courts discovery orders, thereby undermining the integrity of the judicial system. (For which the American Bar Association rewarded him in the same week with an invitation to address its annual meeting. Nice timing, sort of a retrospective aiding and abetting of perjury by the organization supposedly dedicated to supporting the rule of law.) Picture: Could a government that lies about sex lie about other things? Could a government that lies about sex lie about other things? The president also lied to us when he said, I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. Could it be that a government that lies about sex also could lie about other things as well? Sort of like the Chinese government does? Read on, and see for yourself. Item: The July 24 New York Times reported in a front-page story that at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, an arm of the Energy Department, scientific work tying cancer to electric power cables was fabricated in order to gain additional grants. You may recall that some years ago the power line/cancer link caused furor among the Luddites: The evil industrialists were at it at it again, inflicting cancer on unsuspecting citizens. More than a billion dollars was spent mitigating a non-existent threat created by falsifying data. Item: The Alar scare warned that Americas children were at risk every time they ate an apple because, according to CBS "60 minutes," Alar was the most cancer-causing agent in our food supply. Former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop concluded after studying the data that the truth is that Alar never did pose a health hazard and that our food supply is safe just because of chemicals like Alar. The Environmental Protection Agency combined with CBS and the Natural Resources Defense Council to falsely use Alar as a scare tactic to increase government regulation of suspected carcinogens. Item: Remember the silicone breast-implant hoax. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned these implants in 1992. With the help of Ralph Naders organizations, a gory-but-misleading NBC news report and the nation's trial lawyers, some 3,500 lawsuits were filed, Dow Corning declared bankruptcy, and the left had another science-gone-mad issue. Almost immediately, credible medical organizations, from the American Medical Association and Harvard University to the Mayo Clinic and the New England Journal of Medicine found no basis for silicone-gel breast implants causing cancer. On June 24 this year, the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine issued its final congressionally requested report. What was the link between the implants and diseases such as lupus and cancer? There was none. Factual manipulation: an American tradition In the first example, the scientist in the government laboratory was lying for financial gain. (Does its only about money sound like a good defense?). In the second, an agency of the government combined with private organizations to present false data. In the third, the FDA lied about breast implants causing disease. Unfortunately, it does not stop there. Accepted prevarication at the top encourages misinterpretation further down the liberal food chain. Public broadcasting stations swearing they are unbiased presenters of information while as a matter of policy trading fund-raising lists with the Democratic Party, for example. Or the Death Penalty Information Center, a private advocacy group, releasing the conclusions of a study without the supporting data, purportedly showing that in Philadelphia black murderers are four times as likely as whites to receive the death penalty. In truth, blacks received a death-penalty sentence 18% of the time, whites 13% -- hardly four times -- and a shift of
[CTRL] A black hole ate my planet
-Caveat Lector- From New Scientist, 28 August 1999 http://www.newscientist.com/ns/19990828/ablackhole.html A black hole ate my planet Could physicists accidentally make killer black holes or lethal strange matter that would swallow the Earth? At least there'd be no one left to say sorry to, says Robert Matthews UH-OH, the mad scientists are at it again. In their determination to extract nature's secrets, physicists in America have built a machine so powerful it has raised fears that it might cause The End of The World As We Know It. "Big Bang machine could destroy Earth" ran the headline over a story in The Sunday Times last month. It claimed that our planet was in peril from a vast new American particle accelerator on Long Island, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), which will collide pairs of gold nuclei at high energies. According to the article, RHIC could trigger a catastrophic event: the creation of a black hole or a ravenous "strangelet" that could swallow up our entire planet. Within 24 hours, the laboratory issued a rebuttal: the risk of such a catastrophe was essentially zero. The Brookhaven National Laboratory that runs the collider had set up an international committee of experts to check out this terrifying possibility. But BNL director John Marburger, insisted that the risks had already been worked out. He formed the committee simply to say why they are so confident the Earth is safe, and put their arguments on the Web to be read by a relieved public. Even so, many people will be stunned to learn that physicists felt worried enough even to mull over the possibility that a new machine might destroy us all. In fact, they've been fretting about it for over 50 years. The first physicist to get the collywobbles was Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb. In July 1942, he was one of a small group of theorists invited to a secret meeting at the University of California, Berkeley, to sketch out the design of a practical atomic bomb. Teller, who was studying the reactions that take place in a nuclear explosion, stunned his colleagues by suggesting that the colossal temperatures generated might ignite the Earth's atmosphere. While some of his colleagues immediately dismissed the threat as nonsense, J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Manhattan Project, set up to build the atom bomb, took it seriously enough to demand a study. The report, codenamed LA-602, was made public only in February 1973. It concentrated on the only plausible reaction for destroying the Earth, fusion between nuclei of nitrogen-14. The report confirmed what the sceptics had insisted all along: the nuclear fireball cools down too far quickly to trigger a self-sustaining fire in the atmosphere. Yet in November 1975, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists claimed that Arthur Compton, a leading member of the Manhattan Project, had said that there really was a risk of igniting the atmosphere. It turned out to be a case of Chinese whispers: Compton had mentioned the calculation during an interview with the American writer Pearl Buck, who had got the wrong end of the stick. Even so, the Los Alamos study is a watershed in the history of science, for it marks the first time scientists took seriously the risk that they might accidentally blow us all up. The issue keeps raising its ugly head. In recent years the main focus of fear has been the giant machines used by particle physicists. Could the violent collisions inside such a machine create something nasty? "Every time a new machine has been built at CERN," says physicist Alvaro de Rujula, "the question has been posed and faced." One of the most nightmarish scenarios is destruction by black hole. Black holes are bottomless pits with an insatiable appetite for anything and everything. If a tiny black hole popped into existence in RHIC, the story goes, it would burrow down from Long Island to the centre of the Earth and eat our planet--or blow it apart with all the energy released. So why are physicists convinced that there's no chance of this happening? Well, the smallest possible black hole is around 10-35 metres across (the so-called Planck Length). Anything smaller just gets wiped out by the quantum fluctuations in space-time around it. But even such a tiny black hole would weigh around 10 micrograms--about the same as a speck of dust. To create objects with so much mass by collisions in a particle accelerator demands energies of 1019 giga-electronvolts, so the most powerful existing collider is ten million billion times too feeble to make a black hole. Scaling up today's technology, we would need an accelerator as big as the Galaxy to do it. And even then, the resulting black hole wouldn't be big enough to swallow the Earth. Such a tiny black hole would evaporate in 10-42 seconds in a blast of Hawking radiation, a process discovered by Stephen Hawking in the 1970s. To last long enough even to begin sucking in

Re: [CTRL] HAARP more...first media mention...I think.
-Caveat Lector- Mystery In Alaska by Mark Farmer Popular Science Magazine September 1995 At a remote facility ringed with barbed wire, a brand new array of 36 antennas rises from the black spruce forest that stretches hundreds of miles across Alaska. Completed in December 1994 and now undergoing testing, the antenna field is the visible part of a powerful and sophisticated high-frequency radio transmitter designed to transform areas of the upper atmosphere into the equivalent of huge lenses, mirrors, and antennas. This little known Pentagon sponsored radio physics project, called the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is officially intended to expand knowledge about the nature of long range radio communications and surveillance using the fluctuating ionosphere (See "Way up in the Ionosphere"), the portion of the upper atmosphere extending from 35 miles to 500 miles above the Earth's surface. According to program manager John L Hecksher of the Phillips Laboratory at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts, potential military applications of the HAARP research include developing Department of Defense for detecting cruise missiles and communicating with submarines. "Although HAARP is being managed by the Air Force and Navy, it is a purely scientific research facility that poses no threat to potential adversaries and has no value as a military target," he says. But thats just the publicly announced part of the program. HAARP also has a secret agenda: pursuing more exotic military goals, such as locating deeply buried weapons factories thousands of miles away--AND EVEN ALTERING THE LOCAL WEATHER ABOVE AN ENEMIES TERRITORY. A 1990 internal document obtained by Popular Science says the programs overall goals is to "Control ionospheric processes in such a way as to greatly improve performance of military command, CONTROL, and communications systems." It provides a description of the following applications: * Injecting high frequency radio energy into the ionosphere to create huge, extremely low frequency (ELF) virtual antennas used for earth penetrating topography--peering deep beneath the surface of the ground by collecting an analyzing reflected ELF waves beamed down from above. * Heating Regions of the lower and upper ionosphere to form virtual "Lenses" and "Mirrors" that can reflect a broad range of radio frequencies far over the horizon to detect stealthy cruise missiles and aircraft. * Generating ELF radio waves in the ionosphere to communicate across large distances with deeply submerged submarines. And, patent documents filed during an earlier research effort that evolved into the HAARP program outline further military applications of ionospheric-heating technology: * Creating a "Full Global Shield" that would destroy ballistic missiles by overheating their electronic guidance systems as they fly through a powerful radio-energy field. * Distinguishing nuclear warheads from decoys by sensing their elemental composition. * MANIPULATING LOCAL WEATHER. When the HAARP facility is fully constructed, it will include several sensing and analysis systems. At its heart is the antenna field, which now (1995) is a demonstration version of a larger planned array named the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) which will include 360 antennas. The IRI is designed to temporarily modify 30 mile diameter patches of the upper atmosphere by exciting, or heating their constituent electrons and ions with focused beans of powerful radio energy. A household analogy would be a microwave oven, which heats food by exciting its water molecules with microwave energy. (Snip) Virtual lenses and mirrors will be generated in the ionosphere, if the IRI works as intended (1995). By precisely warming a patch of the lower ionosphere, the IRI reduces its density relative to the surrounding atmosphere. An "Ionospheric Lense" thus formed can in turn focus a radio beam into the upper ionosphere. Normally, most high frequency radio waves broadcast from the ground are absorbed or scattered in the lower ionosphere, and few of them reach such high altitudes. Next the focused radio beam excites a patch of the upper ionosphere to form a virtual mirror. Finally, a radio communication signal broadcast by the IRI, focused through the lens and reflected from the mirror can be directed far over the horizon. (Snip) Proprietary phased-array (Local Arrays) transmitting, steering, and pulsing techniques built into the IRI will permit rapid aiming of the radio frequency beam in any direction, and at angles as low as 30 degrees above the horizon. This "Oblique Heating" ability enables HAARP to form virtual lenses and mirrors at distances of more than 1000 miles from the transmitter. (Snip) The full Global Shield is an exotic proposal for an Earth encompassing shell of high speed electrons and ions that would be generated by a much more powerful version of HAARP. Any Missile or

Scientists make their reputations by squashing old paradigms, not worshipping them - by establishing new paradigms, not abjuring them. You've never read a scientific journal, have you? I don't know where you read science journals at but this is just plain wrong. Reputable scientists with new theories are often ridiculed and put down, without even a proper hearing, if their theories do not jibe with those of the people in positions of power in the scientific establishment. When a person is prevented from publishing and getting "peer review" then, in effect, their career is doomed. Ever heard of the Internet? Ever read a sci.* newsgroup?

You're talking about a rigid controlled environment that no longer exists. Sure, establishments DID exist, the most flagrant example being Soviet 'science' supporting Lysen- koism - a doctrine so wrong that it's crippled Russian agriculture for decades afterwards. But in the New World Order of scattered, wired researchers, a doctrinaire establishment is rapidly eclipsed. Science is about *testable*, *workable*, *usable* theories - explanations that don't work, don't survive. It's remarkably Darwinian. This takes place regularly, and with conviction. People are routinely prevented from publishing when they have something to say which greatly contradicts the current paradigm. Give us some current examples, please. Present some evidence to support this contention. WHO is prevented from presenting their ideas? WHO is so totally censored that they can't even publish on the Net? C'mon, name some names. With that said, it is an entrenched system like most others and is not likely to change any time soon. Science is not bad, it is good and has enabled us to understand the world around us like never before, and I'm all for the further (well thought out) use of it in the future, and for every possible advance. Entrenched system? Look at ANY field where there are rapid changes, where anything published 5 years ago is obsolete, and try to say "entrenched system" with a straight face. Hint: physics, biology, astronomy, cognition, archaeology... Furthermore, I don't deny evolution I just think alternative view- points should be allowed a hearing. JUST BECAUSE SOME SCIENTIST SAYS SOMETHING IS SO, DOES NOT MEAN IT IS, EVEN IF A BUNCH OF OTHER SCIENTISTS THINK IT IS TOO. Other theories, or speculations, or notions, as you are wont to call them, should be examined and allowed a fair airing. If they are rubbish the rational will reject them, covering them up, ignoring them, refusing them a hearing, or ridiculing them just makes them seem more attractive to some members of society, most particularly the fundamentalist Christianity that is imbued in conspiracy theory today. Ever been to a scientific conference? For ever 3 scientists, there are 5 theories. Those theories supported by the most evidence make it to the next round of conferences. Alternative notions that aren't supported by the evidence, that aren't predictive, that aren't test- able, are dismissed. That's the Darwinian process - your theory's gotta work better than everyone else's, or it'll be shitcanned. By thrusting it in a corner they unwittingly give it more weight. Why do you think there has always been such interest in the Kennedy assassination? Let the record speak and present all views and let the rational man (or woman) make their decision. The rest, well they'll think what they want to anyway. Creationism and Lysenkoism and many other doctrines lost out many decades ago, and only survive now in political realms.

[CTRL] Delta Force had active role in raid, ex-CIA officer told
-Caveat Lector- Delta Force had active role in raid, ex-CIA officer told Pentagon won't discuss Army commando unit 08/27/99 By Lee Hancock / The Dallas Morning News © 1999, The Dallas Morning News A former CIA officer said Thursday that he learned from Delta Force commandos that members of the secret Army unit were "present, up front and close" in helping the FBI in the final tear-gas assault on the Branch Davidian compound. The former officer, Gene Cullen, told The Dallas Morning News that he heard the detailed accounts of the military's active involvement from "three or four" anti-terrorist Delta commandos as he worked with them on an overseas assignment in 1993. "Whether it's the macho-bravo-type talk of guys in the field, I don't know," he said, declining to identify the individuals involved. "I have no reason to suspect that they lied. And it didn't just come from one of them. There were three or four guys that confirmed that, who were from Delta." In the months after the Waco tragedy, Mr. Cullen said, he heard from associates in Delta Force that the secret unit's involvement there amounted to far more than observation or tactical discussions. While he was deployed overseas on an assignment, Mr. Cullen said, Delta operators told him that the unit "had 10 operators down there, that they were involved in the advanced forward stages of [the FBI's April 19] operations." "When they explained to me the depth to which they were involved down in Waco, I was quite surprised. They said basically they were out there in the vehicles, the Bradley [fighting vehicles], the CEV [tanks]," he said. "They were active." The chairman of the Texas Department of Public Safety told The News on Thursday that evidence in the hands of Texas law enforcement personnel may support the account given to Mr. Cullen. "I'm advised there is some evidence that may corroborate" the allegation that Delta Force participated in the assault, said James B. Francis Jr., the DPS official. A Pentagon spokesman who spoke on condition of anonymity denied Thursday that any U.S. military units were involved in the assault, "as far as I know." Use of active-duty military personnel against civilians without a specific presidential decree is a violation of federal law. The spokesman confirmed that three Defense Department "observers" whom he declined to identify were in the Waco area on April 19, 1993, the day that an FBI tear-gas assault ended in a fire that consumed the compound. Branch Davidian leader David Koresh and more than 80 followers died in the fire, which arson investigators ruled was deliberately set by sect members. The spokesman said Pentagon policy barred him from any public discussion of Delta Force, even the possibility of its existence. A once-classified memo written to the military's Special Forces Command, which includes Delta Force, indicated that three of its members watched the final tragedy unfold. The May 1993 memo stated that the observers did not participate and were warned not to videotape anything that happened. Mr. Francis said evidence in the hands of Texas law enforcement suggests that more than three Delta Force members were at the compound on April 19 and involved in the assault. "I have been advised that there are some police officers who have developed some evidence that needs looking into with regard to what the role of Delta Force was at the Branch Davidian compound," he said, declining to elaborate. "I think it's a subject that the FBI director and the attorney general need to look into," Mr. Francis said. "The $64 question is whether they were advisory or operational, and I think some of the evidence is problematical." An FBI spokesman in Washington said he had been instructed by the Department of Justice to refer all questions on the presence of Delta Force to the Pentagon. The spokesman, Tron Brekke, added that he could not say whether Delta Force might have actively assisted the FBI in any way in Waco "because I don't think anybody knows." "That's part of the reason that the attorney general and the director are, in a very expeditious manner, going to have 40 assistant inspectors and whoever is chosen to lead them come down and find out definitively what did happen," he said. "I don't know what was done or wasn't done down there." On Wednesday, the FBI announced that a full inquiry was being launched to explain the possible use of pyrotechnic tear-gas canisters by the FBI hostage rescue team during the final assault. The bureau's admission that such devices "may have been used" marked an abrupt reversal of a long-standing denial that its agents used anything capable of sparking a fire at the compound. Bureau and Justice Department officials have maintained that the devices could not have played a role in the fire because they were used hours before the blaze and were fired at an underground bunker adjacent to the wooden compound.

-Caveat Lector- This unfolding story is a good example of deep dishonesty within the US government, and how they only tell as much truth as required by the evidence that they cannot destroy and the withnesses that they cannot kill. It's called "a limited hangout." I suspect the government will be doing this quite a bit in the next few weeks. Another trick they are using is to have the same agency that deceived the public in the past (the FBI in this case), conduct the investigation. The CIA did this a while back with the CIA-Drugs investigation. It was a limited hangout as well, naturally.

[CTRL] WACO: Dam is cracking
-Caveat Lector- Photo of Modesto Police "SWAT" team carrying the same NATO insignia seen by TV viewers of original Columbine "live" coverage. http://216.221.173.225/ same site, at URL: http://216.221.173.225/24.htm 24 Children Murdered - Hunt for Killers Continues 8-25-99 To anyone who prizes his or her freedom, Waco needs no introduction. But you do need to know about recent developments in the investigation of the matter. The need is especially clear since most of the national media have been working hard to ignore the story--despite its listing on AP and UPI wire services, and discussion in the Washington Times, the Washington Post, and other sources. First, there have been lawsuits filed by families of those killed at Waco and by some of the survivors. The suits were transferred to Judge Smith, the same judge who sentenced some of the Davidians to long prison terms, and is generally thought of as a very pro-government, very anti-Davidian judge. The government of course moved to dismiss the cases. To the surprise of many, Judge Smith refused, leaving open such claims as the Davidians' assertion that the government shot at people leaving the burning building. This, Smith stated, had at least some evidence to support it, and if proven would "shock the conscience of the court." Judge Smith must have been startled at the next development. Without warning, the Texas Department of Public Safety appeared in his court. TDPS announced that the Texas Rangers (which are part of TDPS) had two large rooms full of Waco evidence that had never seen the light of day. It explained that members of the public--documentary producer Michael McNulty and attorney David Hardy--had been asking for copies, but that when it offered to make them, federal agencies forbade it. Yet when McNulty and Hardy asked the federal agencies for copies, the same agencies claimed that they couldn't give them because only the Rangers had control over the evidence. TDPS added that it did not want to be responsible for withholding the evidence, hinted that it did not trust the federal agencies to have it, and offered to file the entire mass (estimated at twelve tons of material) in court! Things became more lively when TDPS explained just what was in the evidence. TDPS commissioner Jim Francis said that it contained government fired projectiles, which appeared to be pyrotechnic (that is, fire producing). It appears to this author that may prove that FBI started the fire that killed 74 people, including two dozen children. He allowed he was no expert, but said the evidence would be at least "problematic" for the FBI's position. (The projectiles, fired from the FBI's M- 79 grenade launchers, including pyrotechnic CS gas rounds. These expel the CS by burning a mixture similar to black powder, and are stamped with warnings that they cause fires and may not be used against buildings.) The evidence was so sensitive, Francis explained, that he had instructed the Rangers to keep FBI out of the evidence locker until it could be secured with the court, and he had ordered the Rangers to commence their own investigation. The revelation of hidden evidence must have shocked Judge Smith, hitherto seen as very pro-government. He issued an order accepting the Ranger's evidence. Then he issued a second order, which is utterly unprecedented. He ordered all federal agencies to turn over to the court all evidence "in any way relevant to the events at Mt. Carmel [the Davidian building]." No one had even thought to ask for such an order; in a civil case, judges just don't order all the evidence turned in, whether it has been subpoenaed or not. An anonymous law enforcement authority was quoted in the Dallas Morning News as predicting that "The Justice Department is going to have a fit!" That's a safe prediction. Attorney Hardy's Freedom of Information Act suit drove ATF to admit that it had three and maybe four video cameras filming what happened at the Davidians' front door, and likely showing exactly what had happened when the first shots were fired--but ATF claimed all copies had vanished. So had an infrared tape of the building, which would conclusively show if and when the Davidians fired. We may now know exactly where those tapes are sitting, and exactly why they've had to be hidden for six years. Now for the things we can't talk about--or, at least, things were we can only reveal part of the story. Michael McNulty, producer of the documentary "Waco: The Rules of Engagement," is producing a second documentary. If the first one was stunning--it won an Academy Award nomination--the second one makes it look mild. With solid evidence, most of it from the government's own files, he shows that the FBI may be guilty of lying, perjury, and homicide. He found the 40 mm Pyrotechnic shells, and tied them to the fire. Retired FBI and government sources agreed to talk. The picture that emerges is even grimmer than we might have thought. Some Davidians had claimed

There's bound to be some overlap between one group and another, but just because Mary and Jeff in Group A share some opinions with Joe in Group B, it doesn't prove that the people of Group A are the same as those of Group B. BTW, why does no one ever answer the simple question: Why didn't they arrest Koresh? AFAIK, he is the only one who was accused of any crimes. Not only has the question not been answered, it hasn't even been dealt with. That particular question is invariably ignored and not responded to. I want .50 cal machine guns as a factory option.

In the process of researching this data for you, I've found some other

utilizing incidents similar to the very SUSPICIOUS 1000%
over-emotionalized/overpublicized incidents conveniently grouped together
recently in the U.S.- in which covert government activity has been noted-
where "mass" public shooting incidents have occurred.
If you are not already aware of covert government involvement in recent
incidents at Columbine and Granada Hills (probably Atlanta as well) -feel
free to call on me to provide you with sources by which you may inform
yourself on "our" government's criminal covert operations which appear to be
at the root of the "anti-gun" and "anti-militia" terrorism against the
Citizens of the several united States.
I imagine you are aware of the gun control-related WACO mass murder in which
we have just seen publically admitted- the U.S. military's "secret" Delta

the Monash University's Accident Research Centre that said there were 628
deaths from the shooting sports in Victoria in the period 1989 - 1995.
The ARC later admitted that the true number of such deaths was *not 628, but
4.* This is not a misprint. . 4. However the Herald Sun has since
published a letter to the editor identifying just how wrong the public
perception is about the shooting sports.

Australia Crime Increases After Guns Are Confiscated
Orange County Register
Letters to the Editor Section
8/4/99:
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were
forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, a
program costing the government more than $500 million dollars.
And now the results are in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2
percent; Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent; Australia-
wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent). In the
state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300 percent.
Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in
armed robbery with firearms (changed drastically in the past 12
months). There has been a dramatic increase in break-ins and
assaults of the elderly.
Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how
no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such
monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in
"ridding society of guns." Bet you wont see this data on the

-Caveat Lector- http://www.capitolhillblue.com/Aug1999/082799/civilliberties082799. htm Up against the wall civil liberties By Justin Torres CNS Senior Staff Writer (CNSNews.com) - Are civil liberties becoming the latest casualty in the war on crime? One author says yes. In Warrior Cops: The Ominous Growth of Paramilitarism in American Police Departments, published recently by the Cato Institute, Diane Cecilia Weber tracks the increasing use of paramilitary SWAT units in criminal cases across the U.S. According to Weber, political pressure to show victories in the war on drugs and violent crime may be driving some police departments to use paramilitary tactics and weaponry that confuses the natures of the police and the military - and may violate civil liberties. "Politicians talk about a war on drugs, but who is the enemy, and where is the front?" Weber told CNSNews.com from her home in Charlottesville, Va. "In the meantime, we increasingly run the risk of having SWAT teams break into homes and hold people at gunpoint over trivial matters." Cases like the suppression of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Tex., or the use of a SWAT team against Samuel Heflin in Colorado (as reported earlier this week by CNSNews.com) are occurring with greater frequency as police departments share training and weaponry with military units. That trend is a dangerous one, says Weber, because it confuses the nature of the police with that of the military. "The sharing of training and technology is producing a shared mindset," Weber observed. "The problem is that the mindset of the soldier is simply not appropriate for the civilian police officer." In fact, said Weber, police and military should have distinctly different mindsets, because they serve different needs and function in different ways. "The job of a police officer is to keep the peace, but not just by any means. Police officers are expected to apprehend suspected lawbreakers while adhering to constitutional procedures. They are expected to use minimum force and to deliver suspects to a court of law," Weber told CNSNews.com. "The soldier, on the other hand, is an instrument of war. In boot camp, recruits are trained to inflict maximum damage on enemy personnel. Confusing the police function with the military function can have dangerous consequences." Weber also notes that the Founding Fathers specifically warned against giving the police military powers. "They knew that police had to be different from the military, or they could become agents for tyranny." While Weber stresses that most police officers involved in SWAT team activity are "good people," nonetheless the system is set up in such a way that there is no "check on bad cops who abuse the power of the SWAT team. . . . There's no nationwide standards on when SWAT team should or should not be used." In most cases, said Weber, there is little need for a police department to have a SWAT team. However, the media has consistently supported SWAT activities, while downplaying the problems it causes. However, A.N. Moser, executive director of the National Sheriff's Association, told CNSNews.com that SWAT teams are necessary to fight crime effectively. "If they aren't available, what is a sheriff supposed to do if he's faced with criminals who have overwhelming weaponry?" said Moser. Moser agrees that the possibility exists that a SWAT team could be used illegally, but says that most SWAT teams have effective training. "Training is a state and local issue, but as long as [SWAT team members] are trained in the proper use of weaponry, physical fitness, and constitutional law, they shouldn't have a problem."

Re: [CTRL] Beware swarms of 'smart dust'
-Caveat Lector- Driftglass. Zombie Cow wrote: -Caveat Lector- http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/ns-bso082499.html Beware swarms of 'smart dust' CLEANLINESS freaks have a new rationale for their pathological hatred of dust-it could soon be spying on them. Packed full of sensors, lasers and communications transceivers, particles of "smart dust" are being designed to communicate with one another. They could be used for a range of applications from weather monitoring to spying. The tiny "motes" are being developed at the University of California, Berkeley, as part of a programme to produce the smallest possible devices that have a viable way of communicating with each other. Each mote is made up of a number of microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS, wired up to form a very simple computer. At present each mote is 5 millimetres long, but Kris Pister, one of the developers, says that in future they could be small enough to remain suspended in air, buoyed by the currents, sensing and communicating for hours. The latest version not only has a thick-film battery powering it but also a solar cell to recharge it. "This remarkable package has the ability to sense and communicate, and is self-powered," says Randy Katz, a communications engineer on the project. He presented the latest work at last week's Mobicom99 mobile computing meeting in Seattle. MEMS are made using the same photolithographic techniques as integrated circuits, so once perfected they should be easy to mass-produce. Patterns are etched out of a silicon wafer to create structures such as optical mirrors or tiny engines. Each mote in a smart-dust system will need to survive on extremely low power, while being able to communicate kilobits of data per second. To this end, says Katz, the team has designed motes that shut down parts of themselves when they are not being used. The latest challenge has been to devise a system that enables the motes to communicate. Katz and his colleagues decided to use optical transceivers because of their low energy demand compared with radio communications. According to Pister they have already shown that they can monitor the dust 21 kilometres across San Francisco Bay. "There's no way you're going to get that kind of range except with optical devices," he says. "The base station may actually reside in a hand-held unit, much like a pair of binoculars," says Katz. This would allow for simultaneous viewing of the scene from afar while superimposing any measured data on the image. He adds that this approach could be especially useful for hazardous applications such as detecting chemical weapons or sending the dust into space. The next task is to build distributed intelligence into the dust to produce "swarm behaviour". ### Author: Duncan Graham-Rowe New Scientist issue 28th August 99 DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

BAZINET and FRANK LOMBARDI Daily News Staff Writers Mayor Giuliani yesterday launched a blazing defense of embattled Texas Gov. George W. Bush by denouncing the media as "voyeurs" for pressing the presidential candidate on whether he has used cocaine. "Pursuing people's personal lives has become a sickness, and it's going to hurt ultimately in getting the right people in politics," Giuliani admonished reporters at City Hall. Texas Gov. George W. Bush Bush, the Republican presidential front-runner, repeatedly has refused to flatly admit or deny having used cocaine. But under intensified media questioning last week, Bush indicated he hadn't used illegal drugs for at least 25 years. Giuliani a former federal prosecutor who built his career on a tough law-and-order philosophy accused reporters of digging into candidates' private lives "because it's fun and it makes news and it sells newspapers. "I think this is voyeurism, not legitimate pursuit of issues," the Republican mayor and probable U.S. Senate candidate fumed when asked about the Bush situation. The purpose of the media grilling, the mayor argued, is "hounding people who are in public office." Giuliani, who has praised, but not formally endorsed, Bush's candidacy, argued that the campaign should focus on the job Bush has done as governor of Texas and what Bush says he would do as President. "I respect the decisions that Gov. Bush has made about his own privacy," Giuliani added. Asked if he had used pot or cocaine, the mayor noted that he has answered "no" to that question. But he said he now regrets having answered because, "it's really none of your business if I did or I didn't." President Clinton who as a candidate said he tried marijuana but didn't inhale also was drawn into the drug debate yesterday. At the President's vacation retreat on Martha's Vineyard, White House spokesman Joe Lockhart confirmed published reports that Clinton has denied ever using cocaine.

It may be the only way to keep their criminal enterprises safe from the scrutiny of Uncle Sam. By now you've heard that the Clinton administration wants Congress to grant federal law enforcement agents the power to break into the homes and businesses of criminal suspects and plant digital bugs in their computers. These devices would bypass encryption programs that can be used to scramble data. As a result of such ''black-bag jobs,'' the Feds would be able to acquire all manner of useful evidence that is presently beyond their reach. Computer-industry officials, members of Congress, and Internet activists have denounced the idea. With good reason, they fret about privacy, free speech, unreasonable searches and seizures, and so on. My doubts were of a more technical nature. Can you really bug somebody's computer without the user noticing? I mean, a room can't tell you it's been bugged, but a computer will tell you quite a lot about what it's doing, if you run the right kind of diagnostic software. Say the government wants to read my encrypted e-mails. John McCown, technical director for network security at ICSA Inc. in Reston, Va., says agents could subtly alter my encryption software to make messages much easier to crack. Suddenly, secret messages become easy prey. OK, but to do that, the spies would have to change at least one file on my computer. Couldn't I just run a search to see if any files have been modified? You can do that with the Find feature in Windows 95, and there are more sophisticated programs that will check every sector of the disk for alterations. Run such a check every day and I'm safe, right? Wrong, says Bruce Schneier, inventor of the Blowfish encryption algorithm and president of Counterpane Systems, a computer security firm in Minneapolis. If the FBI got hold of your computer, they could rig it so that none of these tests would work any more. For instance, snoops could alter the operating system so that it no longer displays evidence of a tampered file. And if you try to load a specialized disk-checking program, the tampered computer could be set up to load its own phony version of the software instead - a version that would tell you all is well. Because the computer's been compromised, you can't rely on any test results. ''The thing being modified can't check itself,'' Schneier said. The cops might not even need to enter your home. Richard Smith, security expert and president of Phar Lap Software in Cambridge, says some Internet software contains security holes that'll let skilled programmers install software on distant computers, without the user knowing. ''The feds can try that first,'' says Smith, ''and then in a couple of days, if that doesn't work, try a break-in.'' And as long as the federal agents are in your house, why should they stop at altering your software? They've got the entire computer to play with. ''You could insert devices that would attach to the motherboard, that the software wouldn't even see,'' says Phil Zimmermann, inventor of the legendary Pretty Good Privacy encryption program. A spy could insert a gadget that would keep a record of every button you push on the keyboard. The data could be transmitted over a wiretap, or squirted over the Internet the next time you log on. Or the device could simply record your typing for later retrieval by the black-bag squad. ''It would work all too well,'' says Zimmermann. There is an upside to all this. The Clinton administration has previously sought to stop everybody from using high-quality encryption software. At least the new plan targets suspected criminals, and in theory leaves the rest of us alone. Federal judges would have to sign off on the break-ins, just as they do with phone wiretaps. The feds seem to have been fairly responsible in their use of phone-tapping, so there's reason to hope that they'd show the same restraint with our computers.

-Caveat Lector- Kill Your TV "Taylor, John (JH)" wrote: -Caveat Lector- Updated 8/26/99 7:20 PM "THERE ARE TEARS IN MY EYES." CNN has a new program called Dying to Tell the Story. It's a show dedicated to the journalists who gave or risked their lives to get the story out. I haven't seen it, but they are running ads for it pretty steadily. You can get the feel for what they're doing right away. They are laying another layer of treacle and hagiography on the press corps. Protectors of the first amendment who are willing to give their lives in defense of your right to know, or some other comic book drivel. CNN is part of that whole Freedom Forum cult which is trying to make journalism some sort of secular priesthood. Go out to the Freedom Forum's "Newseum" in Arlington, Virginia and you'll see a lot of very interesting stuff about the press - old headlines, big TVs (gotta love really big TVs) and some great photography - but you will also see a celebration of journalists as a special caste. The press is so self-serving that we do not need to make these people martyrs to a great cause. My guess is that more Peace Corps volunteers have died digging wells than journalists "dying to tell the story." Since I haven't seen the program yet, I don't want to jump the gun. But, as I say, I have seen the commercial. There are some powerful images in it. There's a shot of a man on fire. I don't know the back story, but one wonders if it reminded anyone else of the cameramen who filmed a burning man until they were sure they got the shot before they put him out. But the really disturbing image is of Nguyen Ngoc Loan shooting a man. Everybody has seen this picture or the film of the incident. A cruel and angry South Vietnamese General executes what appears to be a defenseless Vietcong prisoner. Eddie Williams, The AP photographer who snapped the photo, earned a Pulitzer Prize for the picture. That picture helped galvanize the anti-war effort in the United States. Hubert Humphrey, at the time the photo was taken, was on the verge of challenging President Johnson for the Democratic nomination for president. The photo (and subsequent NBC film) helped stir sentiment to the point that Johnson announced he would not seek a second term only two months later. It is one of the most powerful icons for everything that was supposedly wrong with that war. It is precisely the sort of professional coup that a reporter who's "Dying to Tell the Story" dreams of getting. Except Eddie Adams wishes he never took the picture. After the photo was seen around the world, the AP assigned Williams to hang out with General Loan. He discovered that Loan was a beloved hero in Vietnam, to his troops and the citizens. "He was fighting our war, not their war, our war, and every - all the blame is on this guy," Williams told NPR (in what may have been the most surprisingly courageous NPR interview I've ever heard). Williams learned that Loan fought for the construction of hospitals in South Vietnam and unlike the popular myths, demonstrated the fact that at least some South Vietnamese soldiers really did want to fight for their country and way of life. Just moments before that photo had been taken, several of his men had been gunned down. One of his soldiers had been at home, along with the man's wife and children. The Vietcong had attacked during the holiday of Tet, which had been agreed upon as a time for a truce. As it turned out, many of the victims of the NC and North Vietnamese were defenseless. Some three thousand of them were discovered in a mass grave outside of Hue after the Americans reoccupied the area. The surprise invasion, turned out to be a military disaster for the Vietcong, but a huge strategic victory because of its effect on American resolve. But at the time, all of this was irrelevant to people like Loan. It was an ugly, shocking assault. The execution of the prisoner was a reprisal. It was an ugly thing to be sure, but wars, civil wars especially, are profoundly ugly things. Williams wrote in Time magazine, "The general killed the Viet Cong; I killed the general with my camera. Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world. People believe them, but photographs do lie, even without manipulation. They are only half-truths. What the photograph didn't say was, 'What would you do if you were the general at that time and place on that hot day, and you caught the so-called bad guy after he blew away one, two or three American soldiers?'" The picture that Williams took, the picture that CNN thinks is such an atrocious and ignoble deed, ruined Loan's life. More to the point, it didn't expand on "our right to know." It didn't answer questions, or give us the story. It deceived. It gave no context. It confirmed the biases of the anti-war journalists, and they used it to further their agenda.

[CTRL] Fwd: [RuMills] RUMOR MILL NEWS KNOCKED OFFLINE
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am sitting at a computer at our local public library. I am here because I have two computers at home that have been wiped clean of everything that was on them... all the programs as well as all the information I had stored on them. One of the computers "died" while I was back in Colorado. It was the one that I use for writing books and keeping track of personal things. It is not hooked up to a telephone. The other computer is the one that I do most of the Rumor Mill News articles on. It is the one I use to get on the Internet. Last night, after I sent my letter to Vagabond Virgin, and to everyone else on my mailing list, the computer froze. I turned it off and went to bed thinking that I could reboot it this morning. When I tried, it was just as dead as the other one. They both appear to have been wiped clean of everything that was on them. Of course I will not know for sure until I get someone in to look at them. I can't help but think that someone is sending me a message. However, I am not "smart" enough to figure out what the message is. Did someone get mad because I was releasing information about Waco? FYI: Unless investigators want to open the huge mind-control can of worms, there will be no REAL investigation of Waco. Could the representatives of the New World Order want to keep me from putting out my information on the new Faction that is causing them so much trouble? Faction three has gained control of most of the world's hard assets. They have done this in two ways. The first started in 1983 when over 250,000 people who were fed up with the way things were going, joined their assets together in a trust. The trust is in gold, silver and other hard metals. The second faction of Faction Three, the military side, started in late 1995 or early 1996. They convinced banks and countries who had bought the pirated software known as Promis, to buy their new "fix_it" software which would keep the United States government from being able to use the Promis "back door" to spy on them. The new software, called "Salman" supposedly blocked the Promis back door. But in acutality, it just blocked the United States and the New World Order from being able to use the back door. Faction Three now controls the back door to every Promis software holder on the planet. Could the NEw World Order not want people to know that accounts are being siphoned off all around the world? Any account that does not have the proper documentation is being siphoned into a trust. The money is being held until ownership of the account can be proved. In the meantime, no interest loans aare being given to the people who live in the country from where the money was stolen. In other words, all crooked politicians, drug dealers and other assorted crooks have lost their money. Could someone have wanted to stope me from putting out that information? Or could someone want to block me telling you that the Bush family is is heavy negotiation with Faction Three. If they jump ship and join faction three, you will see a court here in the United States which will be similar to the one that existed in South Africa. People will confess their crimes and be able to walk away. Will this be bad? That is yet to be known. What will be true is that we will have defeated the souless creatures who make up the New World Order. They will have lost and we will have out constitution and our rights restored. Is this what the people who destroyed my computers wanted to keep you from knowing? I don't know, but what I can see right now on my television is Faction Three using Waco to force Janet Reno into rolling over on Bill Clinton. If she doesn't do it soon, I fear the worst for her. Someone should clue her in. To all of the people who thought my reply to vagabond virgin was directed to them it was not read the top of the email and you will see that it was a letter to vagaabond virgin and only her I just sent copies of it to everyone on my email list. My time on the computer is running out and people are breathing heavily over my shoulders. If you need to reach me, call 831 462 3949... At this moment I do not know when I will be back online. Don't email me I doubt if I will come back to the library and wait an hour to get online. There are still Wilcher Reports left... I had more than I thought I had. Also, Hal Massey from the Human Right commission said he will print them up so they can stay at the lower price. You can call Hal at 800 400 1999 I did not have the time to take the tapes to the duplicator today... I wonder why... so they will not be in the mail this evening like I wanted.

The pattern is not uniform, but militia gains plainly appear to outweigh losses -- contrary to the widespread expectation that public shock and revulsion at the bombing might prompt the militias to disband. The ADL survey also found that many hard-core militiamen believe that the United States Government itself conducted the bombing to create an excuse for further depriving citizens of their constitutional rights. In October 1994 the ADL issued a Fact-Finding Report titled Armed Dangerous: Militias Take Aim at the Federal Government, detailing militia activity in 13 states. The report sought to alert the American public and the law enforcement community to the danger posed by these extremists, many of whom were engaging in paramilitary training while spreading an incendiary anti- federal government message laced with conspiracy theories and, in some places, anti-Semitism .

Copyright ©1995 Anti-Defamation League INTRODUCTION A new national survey by the Anti-Defamation League offers disturbing evidence that the militia movement has continued to grow since the Oklahoma City bombing. The pattern is not uniform, but militia gains plainly appear to outweigh losses -- contrary to the widespread expectation that public shock and revulsion at the bombing might prompt the militias to disband. The ADL survey also found that many hard-core militiamen believe that the United States Government itself conducted the bombing to create an excuse for further depriving citizens of their

[CTRL] FW: [CTRL] WACO: Dam is cracking
-Caveat Lector- Bard -Original Message- From: Conspiracy Theory Research List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dave Sent: Friday, August 27, 1999 2:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] WACO: "Dam is cracking" -Caveat Lector- Photo of Modesto Police "SWAT" team carrying the same NATO insignia seen by TV viewers of original Columbine "live" coverage. http://216.221.173.225/ same site, at URL: http://216.221.173.225/24.htm 24 Children Murdered - Hunt for Killers Continues 8-25-99 To anyone who prizes his or her freedom, Waco needs no introduction. But you do need to know about recent developments in the investigation of the matter. The need is especially clear since most of the national media have been working hard to ignore the story--despite its listing on AP and UPI wire services, and discussion in the Washington Times, the Washington Post, and other sources. First, there have been lawsuits filed by families of those killed at Waco and by some of the survivors. The suits were transferred to Judge Smith, the same judge who sentenced some of the Davidians to long prison terms, and is generally thought of as a very pro-government, very anti-Davidian judge. The government of course moved to dismiss the cases. To the surprise of many, Judge Smith refused, leaving open such claims as the Davidians' assertion that the government shot at people leaving the burning building. This, Smith stated, had at least some evidence to support it, and if proven would "shock the conscience of the court." Judge Smith must have been startled at the next development. Without warning, the Texas Department of Public Safety appeared in his court. TDPS announced that the Texas Rangers (which are part of TDPS) had two large rooms full of Waco evidence that had never seen the light of day. It explained that members of the public--documentary producer Michael McNulty and attorney David Hardy--had been asking for copies, but that when it offered to make them, federal agencies forbade it. Yet when McNulty and Hardy asked the federal agencies for copies, the same agencies claimed that they couldn't give them because only the Rangers had control over the evidence. TDPS added that it did not want to be responsible for withholding the evidence, hinted that it did not trust the federal agencies to have it, and offered to file the entire mass (estimated at twelve tons of material) in court! Things became more lively when TDPS explained just what was in the evidence. TDPS commissioner Jim Francis said that it contained government fired projectiles, which appeared to be pyrotechnic (that is, fire producing). It appears to this author that may prove that FBI started the fire that killed 74 people, including two dozen children. He allowed he was no expert, but said the evidence would be at least "problematic" for the FBI's position. (The projectiles, fired from the FBI's M- 79 grenade launchers, including pyrotechnic CS gas rounds. These expel the CS by burning a mixture similar to black powder, and are stamped with warnings that they cause fires and may not be used against buildings.) The evidence was so sensitive, Francis explained, that he had instructed the Rangers to keep FBI out of the evidence locker until it could be secured with the court, and he had ordered the Rangers to commence their own investigation. The revelation of hidden evidence must have shocked Judge Smith, hitherto seen as very pro-government. He issued an order accepting the Ranger's evidence. Then he issued a second order, which is utterly unprecedented. He ordered all federal agencies to turn over to the court all evidence "in any way relevant to the events at Mt. Carmel [the Davidian building]." No one had even thought to ask for such an order; in a civil case, judges just don't order all the evidence turned in, whether it has been subpoenaed or not. An anonymous law enforcement authority was quoted in the Dallas Morning News as predicting that "The Justice Department is going to have a fit!" That's a safe prediction. Attorney Hardy's Freedom of Information Act suit drove ATF to admit that it had three and maybe four video cameras filming what happened at the Davidians' front door, and likely showing exactly what had happened when the first shots were fired--but ATF claimed all copies had vanished. So had an infrared tape of the building, which would conclusively show if and when the Davidians fired. We may now know exactly where those tapes are sitting, and exactly why they've had to be hidden for six years. Now for the things we can't talk about--or, at least, things were we can only reveal part of the story. Michael McNulty, producer of the documentary "Waco: The Rules of Engagement," is producing a second documentary. If the first one was stunning--it won an Academy Award nomination--the second one makes it look mild. With solid evidence, most of it from the government's own files, he shows that the FBI may be guilty of lying,
[CTRL] Case could shape future of gun control
-Caveat Lector- http://www.usatoday.com/news/acovfri.htm A HREF="http://www.usatoday.com/news/acovfri.htm"Case could shape future of gun control/A 08/27/99- Updated 12:35 AM ET Case could shape future of gun control The Second Amendment establishes a right to possess firearms. The question is: Is it an individual right or a military necessity? By Richard Willing, USA TODAY A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. - Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, 1791 Tucked inside this famous paragraph, amid the multiple clauses, odd punctuation and 18th-century syntax, lies the right that Americans both cherish and fear: the right to have a gun. But whose right is it anyway? Is there an individual right to own a gun, like the individual right to freedom of speech or religion? Or does the Second Amendment mean only that Americans can defend themselves collectively through state militias, like the modern-day National Guard? The debate over what the Second Amendment actually means has filled a forest of law review articles and scholarly papers over the past 10 years. Now it is about to spill out of the ivory tower and into the real world of guns and gun control. For the first time, a federal judge has ruled that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual's right to own a gun. In the process, the judge invalidated a 1994 federal law that denies guns to anyone who is under a restraining order to prevent him or her from harassing a spouse. The law was part of a measure aimed at reducing domestic violence by limiting access to guns. If the decision by a federal district court judge last April in Texas is upheld on appeal, it could be a huge setback for gun control advocates, placing perhaps hundreds of laws in danger of being struck down. And it would be a victory for gun control opponents such as the National Rifle Association, which has consistently argued that an individual's right to a gun is protected by the Second Amendment. An appeal of the case, U.S. v. Emerson, begins with the filing of briefs in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans Friday. The case, which is likely to be argued next January or February, is unfolding as liberal scholars such as Harvard's Laurence Tribe, who has long been hostile to the individual-rights argument, have begun to move toward the NRA's position. "The real-world consequences (of the Texas case) could be enormous," says Carl Bogus, a specialist on the Second Amendment at Roger Williams Law School in Bristol, R.I. If the lower-court ruling is upheld, "it would stand the law on its head," Bogus says. It would destroy Congress' ability to create gun control laws. Anyone arrested under current (gun control) laws could argue they're unconstitutional. This is not just an academic exercise." The renewed debate over the Second Amendment's meaning comes as recent shootings in Atlanta, Los Angeles and Littleton, Colo., have increased pressure for new gun control laws. This week, authorities in Los Angeles took the unprecedented step of banning sales of guns from the nation's largest gun show. The very fact that there is a debate is likely to surprise many Americans, many of whom assume that the Second Amendment already guarantees them the right to own a gun. A CBS News poll Aug. 15 found that 48% of adults believe there is an individual right to a gun, while 38% do not. Case began as domestic dispute The case began last August when Sacha Emerson, 26, a nurse from San Angelo, Texas, filed for divorce. The local court placed a restraining order on her husband, physician Timothy Joe Emerson, 41, after she complained that he had verbally threatened her boyfriend. Timothy Emerson owned a handgun, which automatically put him at odds with the federal law barring gun ownership by people under state restraining orders in domestic disputes. A federal grand jury indicted Emerson, who was "greatly surprised" to learn that he may have violated any law, according to his lawyer, David Guinn. The case never got to trial. In April, U.S. District Court Judge Sam Cummings found that the law denying guns to those under a restraining order was an unconstitutional infringement of the "individual right to bear arms." The federal law, Cummings wrote, "is unconstitutional because it allows a state court divorce proceeding, without particularized findings of the threat of future violence, to automatically deprive a citizen of his Second Amendment rights." The decision took gun control advocates and opponents by surprise. Cummings, 54, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Reagan, had a reputation as a middle-of-the-road jurist who seldom set aside an indictment. And Emerson's lawyer, assistant federal public defender David Guinn, had raised the Second Amendment argument almost as an afterthought. Both sides are taking the appeal very

Re: [CTRL] Release: new Waco evidence
-Caveat Lector- NEWS FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW, Suite 100 Washington DC 20037 World Wide Web: www.LP.org === For release: August 27, 1999 === For additional information: George Getz, Press Secretary Phone: (202) 333-0008 Ext. 222 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] === As the Waco cover-up finally unravels, is it time to put Janet Reno on trial? WASHINGTON, DC -- Forget more Congressional hearings -- now that the FBI has admitted it used "pyrotechnic devices" during the massacre at Waco, it may be time to move directly to criminal trials for Janet Reno and other law enforcement officials, the Libertarian Party said today. "It's time to send a message: Hate crimes and cover-ups won't be tolerated in America," said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. "And the way to send that message is to start criminal proceedings against the government officials responsible for the deaths of 86 people at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. "At this point, we're not saying that Janet Reno -- or any other individual -- is guilty of premeditated mass murder, or guilty of a criminal conspiracy to cover up the facts. But enough new evidence has emerged that a jury should consider that question." Yesterday, the FBI admitted it had been lying for six years when it claimed never to have used incendiary devices during the siege at Waco. In fact, a spokesman has now acknowledged, FBI agents had fired at least two flammable 40mm tear-gas canisters into the compound. Shortly after that military-style ordnance was deployed on April 19, 1993, a blazing fire engulfed the Branch Davidian complex, incinerating 86 people, including 24 children. The FBI's abrupt about-face came after Texas Rangers investigators uncovered new evidence, videotapes, and photographs that called into question the government's account of the massacre. Other evidence -- first publicized in the Academy Award-nominated documentary, Waco: The Rules of Engagement -- also suggested that an FBI helicopter had opened fire on the Branch Davidians with a machine gun, according to the Washington Post. Reaction to the new evidence was swift. Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN) said that if federal officials "have been lying," their "testimony on other matters should also be examined." And Congressman Bob Barr (R-GA) suggested that "charges of perjury" could be filed, and that "serious questions" have been raised about "who is responsible for the deaths of over 80 American men, women, and children." Both called for new Congressional hearings. But hearings aren't enough, said Dasbach: It's time to strip away the shield of "sovereign immunity" that protects government officials, and treat them like any other person suspected of criminal assault or mass murder. "Buford O'Neil Furrow, for example, faces state and federal charges for opening fire on a Jewish community center earlier this month, wounding five people, including three children," noted Dasbach. "At the very least, shouldn't Janet Reno face similar charges for the fiery deaths of 24 children? "Buford O'Neil Furrow launched his rampage because of irrational religious prejudice, and federal investigators may charge him with committing a hate crime. Part of the original explanation for the federal government's assault on the Branch Davidian compound was that it was a religious cult -- which is a prejudicial code word for any non-traditional religion. So, shouldn't a hate crime investigation be launched against Janet Reno, too?" Dasbach stressed that until all the evidence is in, Janet Reno and other high officials in the FBI and the BATF must be considered innocent. "But 86 people are dead, and the cover-up is starting to unravel," he said. "Fairness and justice demand that 12 ordinary Americans -- a jury of her peers -- should examine the evidence against Janet Reno in a court of law, and decide if she is criminally liable for this tragedy. "After all, a fair trial is the American way," said Dasbach. "But, unfortunately, a fair trial is a courtesy that Janet Reno did not extend to the 86 men, women, and children who, on her orders, were subjected to a barrage of gunfire, a 51-day siege, psychological harassment, toxic gas, and military-style pyrotechnic devices. It's time to right that wrong." Kathleen "The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." - H. L.

-Caveat Lector- My sister's coworker has a sister in Texas who with her husband was planning a weekend trip across the Mexican border for a shopping spree. At the last minute their baby sitter canceled, so they had to bring along their two year old son with them. They had been across the border for about an hour when the baby got free and ran around the corner. The mother went chasing, but the boy had disappeared. The mother found a police officer who told her to go to the gate and wait. Not really understanding the instructions, she did as she was instructed. About 45 minutes later, a man approached the border carrying the boy. The mother ran to him, grateful that he had been found. When the man realized it was the boy's mother, he dropped the boy and ran himself. The police were waiting for him and got him. The boy, was dead, in less than 45 minutes he was missing, and cut open, ALL of his insides removed and his body cavity stuffed with COCAINE. The man was going to carry him across the border as if he were asleep. A two year old boy, dead, discarded as if he were a piece of trash for somebody's cocaine.

[CTRL] Even This DOG Get's Her Day!
-Caveat Lector- Prosecutor Rejects Tripp Request for Evidence Former White House staffer Linda Tripp (AP) -- -- From The Post Tripp Challenges Indictment in Md. (Aug. 19) Grand Jury Indicts Tripp (July 31) On Our Site Audio Excerpts from the Tripp Tapes -- -- By Raja Mishra Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, August 27, 1999; Page B2 Maryland State Prosecutor Stephen Montanarelli refused yesterday to turn over any evidence to Linda R. Tripp's defense attorneys and declined to respond to arguments that he would be unable to make the wiretapping case against her without using evidence she provided under a federal grant of immunity. Montanarelli's remarks were contained in three short responses he filed in Howard County Circuit Court in answer to a flurry of requests filed last week by Tripp's attorneys. Tripp's attorneys asked for all the evidence the state prosecutor had obtained during his 13-month investigation. "They are not entitled to all our evidence," Montanarelli said in a telephone interview yesterday. "We think the indictment is understandable. It couldn't be in any plainer language." Montanarelli also said that before going to trial, he would not turn over grand jury transcripts sought by a Tripp attorney, Joseph Murtha, unless a judge ordered him to do so. The state prosecutor also made requests of the Tripp legal team, asking that they furnish him with speech and writing samples from Tripp, a list of experts they intend to call and a list of other witnesses. Tripp was indicted by a Howard County grand jury July 30. She is charged with illegally taping a phone conversation with Monica S. Lewinsky on Dec. 22, 1997, and illegally directing her attorney to disclose its contents to Newsweek magazine. Tapes that Tripp provided to a special prosecutor were the basis for the investigation into President Clinton's relationship with Lewinsky, a former White House intern. No judge has been assigned to Tripp's case, and no trial date has been set. If convicted, Tripp could be sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for each charge. "Grand jury transcripts do not actually have to be turned over until the witness takes the stand," Montanarelli said. "They'll get them when the judge orders us to turn them over." Montanarelli did provide Murtha with a list of witnesses that he plans to call at trial but didn't make the list public. Sources close to the investigation said yesterday that Lewinsky is on the witness list, a move Murtha said he would welcome as of possible help to his client. "I think she will have information that is relevant to our defense," Murtha said. Lewinsky has appeared before a grand jury investigating her relations with Clinton and before the Senate, via videotape. But she has not been cross-examined. In his responses, Montanarelli disclosed that he interviewed Lewinsky on June 16 and that she identified her voice and that of Tripp on a tape. Sources have said that Lewinsky also told Montanarelli that she did not give Tripp permission to tape their phone talks. All three are elements essential to proving the wiretapping charge. But the documents filed by Montanarelli gave no information as to whether he actually has a copy of the Dec. 22, 1997, conversation. Murtha contends that any copy of the audio tape would have to come from tape that Tripp herself turned over to independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr. Tripp provided the tapes to Starr in exchange for federal immunity. © 1999 The Washington Post Company DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

(AP) - Texas Gov. George W. Bush pitched open trade Wednesday to a part of the country where many feel stung by it, declaring, "We'll be prosperous if this nation does not retreat within its borders.'' Bush opened a three-day Southern swing with a series of events in South Carolina, where his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination are working hard for an early February primary. Next come campaign stops and fund-raisers in North Carolina and Georgia. Bush has been a strong advocate of the North American Free Trade Agreement pioneered by his father when he was president and put into effect in 1993 by President Clinton. Texas exports to Mexico have jumped by more than 16 percent in two years on the strength of NAFTA. But the results have been uneven by industry and region, with critics citing a particular toll on textile mills and other industries of the Carolinas. ``The fearful build walls,'' Bush told the Charleston Rotary Club in a wide- ranging stump speech that included his usual defense of liberalized trade. He acknowledged harm done to the textile industry and said, without being specific, that he supports ``anti-dumping'' laws to prevent some economic sectors from being obliterated. But in the main, he said, the United States must compete in the world. ``I say that free trade is healthy for our economy,'' he told reporters. ``We want Mexico to succeed, not fail. After all, they are our friends.'' Later, Bush dropped the free trade segment when he spoke to a packed crowd at a local country club. In North Carolina, announcements of major plant closures have been made three times just this year, eliminating jobs. Supporters say NAFTA has been a success, citing increased exports and improved relations with neighbors. Opponents say the deal has drained jobs from the United States by encouraging companies to relocate to Mexico, hire low-paid workers and ship the manufactured products back. Republican candidate Pat Buchanan calls for a stop to NAFTA when he campaigns in South Carolina, warning against the ``deindustrialization of America.''

A major source of the antioxidant lycopene that reduces the risk of cancer by 40% -- notably prostate, lung and stomach cancers -- and increases cancer survival. Tomato eaters function better mentally in old age and suffer half as much heart disease. Concentrated tomato sauces have 5 times more lycopene han fresh tomatoes, and canned tomatoes have three times more than fresh. 2.) Olive Oil. Shown to help reduce death from heart disease and cancer. Recent research shows that heart-attack survivors on a Mediterranean diet had half the death rates of those on an ordinary low-fat diet. Olive oil is also high in antioxidant activity. 3.) Red Grapes, including red grape juice and red wine. Red grapes have moderate antioxidant power, while purple grape juice has four times more antioxidant activity than orange or tomato juice. Red wine (not white) has about the same antioxidant capacity as purple grape juice or tea. French research show that drinking red wine in moderation increases longevity, but excessive drinking has the opposite effect, so limit to two glasses per day. Drink grape juice. 4.) Garlic. German researchers have found that garlic is packed with antioxidants know to help fend off cancer, heart disease and all-over aging, and prolong cancer survival time. Let crushed garlic "rest" about 10 minutes before cooking to preserve disease-fighting agents. 5.) Spinach. Second among vegetables only to garlic in antioxidant capacity and is also rich in folic acid, which helps fight cancer, heart disease and mental disorders. New University of Kentucky research shows folic acid may help prevent Alzheimer's disease. Eat both raw and steamed for best benefit. 6.) Whole grains. A University of Minnesota study suggests the more whole grains you eat, the lower your odds of death by 15%. Whole grains contain anticancer agents and help stabilize blood sugar and insulin, which may promote longevity. Whole-grain "dark" breads, cereals such as All Bran, and "old fashioned" oatmeal are an excellent source. 7.) Salmon, and other fatty fish. Contains high amounts of omega-3 fat that performs miracles throughout the body, fighting virtually every chronic disease known. Without it, your brain can't think, your heart can't beat, your arteries clog, and joints become inflamed. You need one ounce a day, or two servings of salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring or tuna per week. 8.) Nuts. Eating more than 5 ounces a week can cut heart-attack deaths in women by 40% and help prevent deadly irregular heart beats in men a Harvard University study found. Almonds and walnuts lower blood cholesterol. Most of the fat in nuts is the good-type monounsaturated and/or omega-3. Unsalted nuts are best. 9.) Blueberries. High in antioxidants, Tufts University researchers say a half-cup of blueberries a day can retard aging and can block brain changes leading to decline and even reverse failing memory. 10.) Tea. Green or black tea has equal antioxidant benefit. One cup a day can cut heart disease risk in half Harvard researchers found. Make from loose tea or tea bags, instant and bottled tea has little effect Tufts University shows. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
