What happens when a ritalin-Quake-crazed psycho hacker gets his hands on a cool tool like this? Army, NASA Merger Urged by Michael Stroud 3:00 a.m. 27.Jan.2000 PST There's nothing like hard times to bring folks together. Take, for example, NASA and the US Army. NASA's botched missions to Mars have put it on Washington's short list for budget cuts. And the Cold War has made Army spending another prime target. That's why the two are pooling their resources to improve something they both do undeniably well: computer simulation. Who, after all, but the Army can virtually fire a Howitzer? And who but NASA can simulate a space station docking? On Wednesday, the two government agencies announced plans to jointly develop simulation technologies. They hope teamwork will make the Army a lighter force and help NASA build the International Space Station and launch future space missions. "Some of our failures with the station and the [space] program helped sell the [collaboration]," said Samuel Venneri, NASA's chief technologist, in an interview. "People realized that we are at a limit of our capabilities." Neither the Army nor NASA disclosed financial details about the relationship. The agreement follows on the heels of a 1999 announcement that the Army would fund an "Institute for Creative Technologies," affiliated with the University of Southern California, to explore common uses for simulation technologies developed by both the entertainment industry and the Army. Announcement of the NASA partnership coincided with a conference on the Army's Simulation and Modeling for Acquisition, Requirements, and Training (SMART) program. The collaboration provides a way for the Army to train its troops to be combat-ready more cost-effectively and with less risk, said Paul Hoeper, assistant secretary of the Army for acquisitional logistics and technology. "Training is dangerous. We need to make it more effective at all levels." Hoeper wants Howitzer-firing simulators that look, sound, feel, and even smell like the real thing. While simulations are getting better, they're not good enough. "If you have a very good imagination and withhold skepticism, you can imagine that you're in the vehicle," Hoeper said. "We need to work harder on the sense of balance, the passage of time, some of the emotional issues soldiers feel when they're really in combat. Years from now, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference." If that conjures up bizarre images of virtual wars fought by virtual warriors, NASA's Venneri has an even more developed view of the kind of simulation he hopes the partnership will achieve. "In 20 years, I'd like to have people walk into a virtual room that would engage all your senses, hearing, touch, and smell," Venneri said. "I would warp people from different parts of the world into that room, like a Star Trek holodeck environment that could transport you anywhere. And then, talking in natural language, you could literally do things in months that would otherwise take you years." = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] AIDS Sweeps Across Rwanda
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- JANUARY 17, 05:04 EST AIDS Sweeps Across Rwanda By HRVOJE HRANJSKI Associated Press Writer KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) Callixte Rucamihigo and his wife escaped death at the hands of screaming militiamen in Rwanda's 1994 genocide, only to fall victim to a silent killer that knows no ethnic differences. Last year, a doctor told the 34-year-old former government worker he'd contracted the virus that causes AIDS. When blood tests confirmed his wife was also infected, she didn't wait for the ailment to run its course. She killed herself. In a speech to the U.N. Security Council last week, Vice President Al Gore compared the gravity of this new threat to Africa's old, familiar threat of war. In Rwanda, the past and future collide. Little more than five years after Hutu extremists tried to exterminate the country's minority Tutsis, disease rather than machetes and guns is cutting a deadly swath through Rwanda. One in 10 Rwandans is now infected with the HIV virus, and 10 years of bloody upheaval have bred an apathy and fatalism that ensures the number of victims will grow. The government declared the fight against AIDS a national priority in 1997, but official warnings about the disease's dangers don't easily scare people still traumatized by one of the 20th century's worst bloodbaths. ``These people have lived through genocide. They've seen the worst. For many, AIDS has no meaning. Why care about AIDS when you've seen your family killed?'' says Pascale Crussard of the aid group CARE. Those Rwandans who acknowledge their HIV infections have little prospect of help. Only 150 people can afford the monthly cost of the drug AZT 180,000 Rwandan Francs, or the equivalent of $500, says Dr. Chantal Kabagabo, who works at the government-sponsored National AIDS Control Program. At the program near Kigali's main hospital, one of only two AIDS counseling centers in Rwanda, up to 200 people arrive each day for testing, but its two nurses and three full-time counselors can handle only 40. ``Many people ask us for medicines, to follow them home, to help them make a living. All of it is useless, because we can't do anything apart from handing them the verdict of their results,'' says Cecille Ndoli, the center's director. According to a national survey in 1997, the infection rate among Rwanda's urban population has remained constant at 10 percent. HIV has increased dramatically, however, among rural Rwandans from 1.3 percent of the population in 1986 to 10.8 percent in 1997. By 1990, AIDS was already rippling across Rwanda, but doctors say its explosive growth since then is a legacy of the genocide. When the minority Tutsis took over the government, Hutu militants went on a murderous rampage. Many Tutsi women who survived are suspected to have been raped, and those widowed by the genocide often turned to prostitution to survive. The HIV infection rate among them is almost 90 percent, according to the survey. In addition, promiscuity and rape were rampant among the more than 1.2 million Hutus who fled to neighboring countries. They returned to Rwanda after 2 1/2 years in refugee camps, where the HIV infection rate was thought to be 8.5 percent. AIDS is also believed to be prevalent among Rwandan troops who are fighting alongside rebels in neighboring Congo to eradicate remnants of the Hutu militia. Rucamihigo says Hutu militants raped his wife, but he believes he is to blame for giving her the disease. ``I was womanizing a lot before we got married,'' he says as he scratches the blisters covering his forehead evidence of Kaposi's sarcoma, the AIDS-related skin cancer that is slowly enveloping him. ``The only comfort is that our 3-year-old baby is negative.'' Rucamihigo says his illness forced him to quit his job at the Ministry of Agriculture and he cannot afford medicine. He has joined the Organization of Persons with HIV/AIDS, a new group in Kigali that lobbies for better care. ``Here, we're abandoned to ourselves,'' he says. ``If you're HIV-positive, nobody has any need for you anymore.''

[CTRL] World Economic Forum, Opens
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- home search messages help assistant log out Will a week of the high life help the poor? BY AUTHOR NAME It is one of the world's most illustrious gatherings, set in one of the world's most exclusive ski resorts. But as 14,500 delegates descend on the Swiss town of Davos for today's opening of the World Economic Forum, some might question whether this is simply the world's most expensive talking shop. US President Bill Clinton will attend for just half a day, yet with him goes a delegation of 300 aides, politicians, businessmen, secret servicemen and general hangers-on. The trip in Air Force One, with a Boeing 747 bringing up the rear, will cost the US taxpayer at least £5million. Then there are the US delegation's 80 limousines and 200 hotel rooms to pay for. The summit guest list features leaders from the worlds of politics, finance, business, medicine and the arts. It includes the richest man on the planet, Microsoft's Bill Gates, and the international financial speculator George Soros. Tony Blair, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan will also be there. Guests will listen to speeches and discuss globalisation, Internet business, trade negotiations and the rich-poor divide. Aid agencies want the summit to produce positive initiatives to reduce the widening gap between the richest and poorest countries. But in private yesterday aid chiefs voiced concern that the annual meeting produces no concrete proposals. In fact, the agenda is little different from last year, they point out. "Davos is long on talk and, at the moment, short on practical solutions," said one aid worker. Figures published yesterday - 30 years on from the first meeting - highlight the growing gulf between rich and poor countries. In 1950 the gap was 35-1, by 1997 it had grown to 727-1. The forum's multi-million pound funding comes from private, unnamed partners and big companies such as Andersen Consulting, as well as multi-national giants such as Coca-Cola, Audi and IBM. Cynics might suggest the choice of venue for the annual jamboree - a hub of non-stop dining and skiing - indicates that some delegates might have a little more than just talks on their mind. This would seem to be confirmed by the fact that high-class escort agencies have put hundreds of girls on standby. Davos residents know that the six-day summit can earn the town more than £5million - a fifth of its annual income - and some shops will open round the clock. Ten of the 40 heads of state attending will be staying at the Seehof Hotel, where manager Christoph Schlosser has flown in acclaimed chef Anton Mosimann from London. "I'm thrilled to be here," said Mosimann. "I know the kind of food these people like. I am keeping it simple and light." Fearing violent protests like those that disrupted last year's World Trade Organisation summit in Seattle, the Swiss are taking no chances with security. Hundreds of soldiers will patrol the surrounding dense forest and snow-covered mountains."With so many heads of state and some of the richest and most powerful men in the world, the chances of protests and attacks, kidnappings and assassination attempts, are high," said an official. © Express Newspapers, 2000 back to news previous article next article top of page status | feedback | copyright | help | contact | privacy | clock A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] PUBLIC DOESN'T BELIEVE KEN STARR ABOUT DEATH OF FOSTER (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- PUBLIC DOESN'T BELIEVE KEN STARR ABOUT DEATH OF FOSTER AIM press release Former Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr has said in recent TV appearances that all questions about the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr. were laid to rest by his investigation, but a nationwide Zogby poll in January found that 56 percent of 1,078 adults disagree with him. They believe there are unanswered questions that the media should press Starr to answer. Only 27 percent believe that the media should accept his claim that all questions have been answered. Although no major U.S. media have questioned Starr's conclusion that Foster shot himself at a small park on the Virginia side of the Potomac in July 1993, only 25 percent of the respondents accepted that finding. One-third disagreed and 42 percent were not sure. Only 17 percent of the respondents knew that a three-judge panel had ordered that 20 pages of critical comments and evidence of a cover-up be attached to Starr's report. These numbers indicate that doubts about the official line on Foster's death are widespread and enduring, and that those who accept Starr's claim that all questions have been answered are in the minority. What was asked: Are you aware or not that a three judge panel ordered Starr to attached 20 pages of critical comments and evidence of a cover-up to his report on Vincent Foster's death? In your opinion, should the media insist that Starr answer the many critical questions that have been raised about this report, or should they accept his claim that his report answered all the questions? According to Starr's report, Foster killed himself on the spot where his body was found. Do you believe or disbelieve this conclusion? [The following is how Reuters reported this story. --MS] Public Opinion Headlines Tuesday January 25 3:17 PM ET Most Do Not Believe Official Foster Death Finding UTICA, N.Y. (Reuters/Zogby) - Most Americans do not believe that former Clinton White House Deputy Council Vince Foster killed himself on the spot where his body was found, a new Zogby America poll reveals. The survey conducted in January of 968 adults showed that 56.8% of those who responded said they did not believe Foster killed himself on the spot where his body was found, as was concluded in a report former by Independent Prosecutor Kenneth Starr. On July 20, 1993, Foster was found dead in a Virginia suburb, the apparent victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The death was ruled a suicide, but rumors of a cover-up involving the Clinton administration immediately surfaced, including charges of inaccuracies and contradictions in the subsequent investigation. Survey respondents who disbelieve the official explanation of what transpired include 62.3% of the Republicans and 61.3% of the Independent respondents. While more than half the Democrats (53.2%) say they believe the official report, 46.8% say they don't believe the incident happened as reported.

[CTRL] U.S. Senate to Debate Liability of Gun Manufacturers (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- U.S. Senate to Debate Liability of Gun Manufacturers U.S. Newswire 26 Jan 13:00 U.S. Senate to Debate Liability of Gun Manufacturers To: National Desk Contact: Kristen Rand of the Violence Policy Center, 202-822-8200, ext. 102, or 202-487-7088 (cell) Web site: http://www.vpc.org WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Senate is set to consider an amendment by Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) to ensure that gun manufacturers cannot escape responsibility for debts incurred as a result of lawsuits filed by consumers or municipalities. Sen. Levin's amendment will be considered during debate on S. 625, a bill to overhaul the nation's bankruptcy laws. This will be the first major debate in the Senate over gun control since Vice President Gore cast the tie-breaking vote to require background checks at gun shows following the massacre at Columbine High School in April 1999. The Senate is scheduled to begin debate on a series of amendments to S. 625 on Wednesday, Jan. 26. "Senator Levin's amendment would ensure that gun manufacturers cannot evade accountability for firearm-related death and injury," said Kristen Rand, director of federal policy for the Violence Policy Center. At least three major gun manufacturers have sought bankruptcy protection to avoid liability claims. For example, Lorcin Engineering arrogantly stated in 1996 that it was filing for bankruptcy to protect the company from at least 18 pending liability suits. Lorcin officials stated to Firearms Business gun industry trade publications that the company chose to "take advantage of the system" when it filed for bankruptcy. Davis Industries, also motivated by pending product liability claims as well as lawsuits filed by U.S. cities including Chicago, New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Los Angeles and Detroit filed for bankruptcy protection in May 1999. Sundance Industries sought bankruptcy protection in August 1999. As a result, the Superior Court of California enjoined the City of Los Angeles from pursuing Sundance in the city's lawsuit against gun manufacturers. "The gun industry is already exempt from health and safety regulation. A gun maker should be held fully accountable when a jury determines that it acted negligently or recklessly," added Rand. -- The Violence Policy Center (http://www.vpc.org) is a national non-profit educational organization that conducts research on firearms and works to reduce gun death and injury. -0- /U.S. Newswire 202-347-2770/ 01/26 13:00 = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] MASONIC SYMBOLS OF POWER IN - WASHINGTON, D.C.
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- MASONIC SYMBOLS OF POWER IN THEIR SEAT OF POWER -- WASHINGTON, D.C. http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1040.html Occultists the world over believe that, once a symbol is created, it acquires power of its own, and more power is generated when such symbol(s) are created without the profane [uninitiated] knowing about it. And, the greatest power of all is created in the symbol(s) if the uninitiated NEVER discover that the symbol exists. In this article, we shall demonstrate positive proofs of conspiracy to achieve the ends of Freemasonry, i.e., achieving the New World Order. And, these proofs exist right under your eyes, in Washington, D.C., the Capital district. Prepare for the unexpected. Before you read this article, you might want to go to a map store to buy a street map of Washington, D.C. The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!! We will demonstrate that the street design in Government Center in Washington, D.C., has been cunningly laid out in such a manner that certain Luciferic symbols are depicted by the streets, cul-de-sacs and rotaries. This design was created by an Masonic architect in 1791, just a few years after Freemasonry assumed the leadership of the New World Order, in 1782. Remember, occult leaders in Europe were told by their Familiar Spirits as early as the 1740's that the new American continent was to be established as the new "Atlantis", and its destiny was to assume the global leadership of the drive to the New World Order. From the beginning, the United States of America was chosen to lead the world into this kingdom of Antichrist, and Washington, D.C. was to be its capital. You will need to have your maps of Washington, D.C., opened in front of you as we proceed. As we proceed through this discussion we will answer the great question of "Why" these streets have thus been laid out. Before we begin our discussion of this Washington, D.C. map, let us lay some important groundwork which will enable us to better understand the occultic meaning behind what we are about to show you. This information was given Cutting Edge Ministries by a born-again Christian who was once a medium level Satanist, Doc Marquee. At the time of his conversion, Doc was in charge of several Satanic covens West and North of Boston. Doc was a Third Level Witch and a Master Witch. Shortly before Doc was born-again, he was invited to become an Illuminist, which is a secret society totally committed to the New World Order. Thus, Doc was in a most powerful position: he was both a Satanist Master Witch and an Illuminist. Doc underwent special training in the Illuminist secret society. As part of his training, he was shown the occultic nature of the street design of the Washington, D.C., Governmental Center. This information was provided to show Doc several factors: 1. This design demonstrates the long-term plan which American Illuminists have had upon America. As we shall see in a few moments, this occultic street design was created in 1791 by an architect who was a Freemason. 2. This design shows that the Plan for a New World Order is deliberately conceived and considered to be inevitable. Remember our earlier discussion about the importance and perceived power of symbols? The occultist firmly believes that a symbol or a set of symbols possesses inherent power once they are created. Therefore, occultic doctrine teaches that these Satanic symbols would act as a powerful electric-type grid once they were set in place. This power grid would constantly pulsate with Luciferic power 24 hours a day, seven days a week, constantly moving America toward the coveted Luciferic goal of the New World Order. 3. This design demonstrates the hidden, secret power wielded by the Illuminists in the United States. Luciferic Illuminists have their hands on the most powerful levers of political, economic, and military power in this country, and they wield this power without any public understanding of what is really going on. Thus, Doc and other Illuminists were shown this street design with the express purpose of demonstrating that they were on the winning side in this drive to the New World Order. Now, let us examine the street layout of Washington, D.C., starting with a little bit of history. When the architect, Pierre Charles L'Enfante, who was a Freemason, laid out Governmental Center of Washington, D.C., in 1791, he planned more than just streets, roads, and buildings. He planned to use the layout of Governmental Center to hide certain occultic magical symbols, which, when they were instituted, became one large Luciferic, or occultic, symbol. An occultic magical symbol is defined as "...an image which hides an inner

From: "1" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I doubt that all right wing "patriotic" groups are supported by the sale of gold - although there certainly is an emphasis on "right-wing" groups involvement in in black market operations - more probably as a result of greed then any ideological commitment. For example, one big players has been the Knights of Malta (KMOM) who almost certainly operate on behalf of Opus Dei in laundering black market bullion. Another has been the John Birch Society. Also individuals leaning heavily to the right - including Japanese fascists-cum-Yakuza and sons of famous Nazi supporters (I'm thinkiing of Baron Arnt Krupp and Yoshio Kodama in particular although Adnan Khasogi is another) have been involved with and helped launder WW11 gold recovered after the war by the CIA. Also, we should not forget that John Singlaub, General Robert Schweitzer, Ray Cline and former Pentagon Joint Chief of Staff, General Vessey have all had a piece of the action, too. Do Rothschild really rule gold nowadays? I doubt it. At the moment the major players in the official market are Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Swiss Bank Corporation. The best evidence is that these three working in concert with other international banks and central banks have colluded to rig the price of gold to protect their short selling. If the price suddenly goes up they get realy hammered. Regards David Now please consider how many of those right wing patriotic propaganda organizations are supported by the sale of gold? All of them! The Rothschilds rule gold. The Rothschilds rule these insidious intelligence fronts on the right. How do you think conditions ever became this bad with all these million dollar organizations there to "help" us. Brian Quig 1 wrote: From: "1" [EMAIL PROTECTED] A great insight Mike. I suspect that the motive surrounding the death of Rothschild will prove to be not to dissimilar from that of Edmond Safra who was deeply involved in other matters than the sale of Republic National Bank to HSBC. Safra seems to have operated for and on behalf of (lets call it an international cartel) that was expert at rigging the international financial markets -- making billions of dollars in the process. Read, for example, this quote from a market insider who goes by the name "Goldbird." "Not only was silver manipulated, they do it all the time. If you want to know the truth, it was Republic who has been behind almost every manipulation I know of for at least the last 10 years." This individual added, "The US govt refused to do anything against the group of players because this thing is so dirty nobody wants the truth out there." Then he says, "Safra was paying bribes to people inside the IMF as well. They all thought they had the IMF in their pocket" He then states ominously "And if anyone believes that story about Safra's death, I guess they believe in Santa Claus and a few other deaths when the heat got turned up." The most obvious of the rigged markets discussed is that of gold where the price continues to be manipulated and kept low to keep those who have loaned (leased) metal in such huge quantities that they cannot now reverse their positions (due to the scarcity of new supplies coming to the market) and, consequently, face going belly up. But not only gold, it seems. This story, if it ever breaks properly, will reveal just how truly rotten the whole international financial infrastructure really is - thus confirming what most of us already know or suspect.

That thanks to Kissinger, Harriman, Brown and Bush. He kept trying to cut back in on new sales. Rothschild was found hanging in the Ritz-Carlton - Paris, owned by Mohammed al-Fayed, by none other than the ubiquitous Henri Paul.

1. Gore Drug Use Question Leads to More Questions
http://www.drcnet.org/wol/123.html#gorequestions
In the week since DRCNet's special report on allegations of
extensive drug use contained in an upcoming Al Gore
biography by Newsweek reporter Bill Turque, further
information has surfaced in the media, and non-denial
denials have been issued by the Gore campaign. Most
significant of all, at least in the eyes of drug policy
reformers, were the statements of Senator John Kerry (D-MA)
who, inadvertently perhaps, pointed out the "dangerous
hypocrisy" that is the essence of the ongoing saga.
On Saturday (1/22), Salon magazine followed DRCNet's special
report and interview with long-time Gore friend John
Warnecke with an interview of its own (available online at
http://www.salon.com/politics2000/feature/2000/01/22/gore/).
In it, Warnecke expanded on his explanation of the pressure
he was under to hide the truth of his relationship with
Gore, and Gore's drug use, when the issue surfaced during
the '88 campaign.
The New York Times, while downplaying to story (a short
article by Alex Kuczynski appeared on page c11 in the
January 24 edition), did confirm that the excerpt had indeed
been scheduled to run but was pulled at the last minute by
chairman and editor-in-chief Richard M. Smith. A
spokesperson for Newsweek told The Times that the decision
had nothing to do with the political schedule, but declined
to discuss the magazine's editorial process.
The Vice President, for his part, refused to answer
questions about his relationship with Warnecke. When asked
about the allegations of long-term, regular drug use, Gore
would only answer that he had used marijuana, but "not to
that extent," while refusing to discuss specifics.
But despite significant media attention this week, the only
government official to touch upon the disconnect between the
drug use of political leaders and the punitive drug policies
that they often espouse was Sen. John Kerry (D-MA).
On Monday, Kerry was asked by reporters to explain why he
thought that questions surrounding George Bush regarding
whether or not he had used cocaine were more substantively
relevant than Gore's use of marijuana. Kerry, noting that
Al Gore had already admitted his use of marijuana, said:
"(H)e (Gore) said 'I used it.' So that's not an issue...
And I don't think Al Gore intends, you know, to make prior
use an issue of other people, except to the degree that it
affects public policy."
Pressed later on the question of the Bush cocaine rumors,
Kerry laid out his thinking on why Bush's drug use, if
substantiated, is indeed an important issue for voters to
consider:
"The issue about George Bush is not the fact that he may
have used it, said Kerry. "The issue about George Bush is,
how can you, if you have (used cocaine), have a position
that is so at odds in terms of being a governor where you
send a lot of other people who may have done the same thing
you do to jail. That's the issue. It's not a question of
whether he used it or when he used it, it's a question of
what his policy is today and whether that's hypocritical and
dangerous."
The Week Online spoke with Kerry Spokesman David Wade, who
reiterated the Senator's position.
"The Vice President has long admitted that he has used
marijuana,"

Bush connected to the most dangerous secret society in America? Could Yale alumni be thereal power behind in the "Secret Government"? by R.A. Kris Millegan "These secret societies are behind it all," my father told me many years ago. During the early fifties he was CIA Branch Chief, Head of East Asia Intelligence Analyst Office. "The Vietnam War," he said soberly, "is about drugs." Many years later I finally had some understanding of what Dad was talking about. I wish I had asked more questions. Like, was he was talking about The Order of Skull and Bones? It's a symbol used by pirates and poisons, but it's also a "fraternity" at Yale University. College kids having fun? Not quite. Fifteen juniors are tapped on a Thursday in May each year. Around 2,500 have been members, mostly white males from wealthy Northeastern families: Bush, Ford, Goodyear, Harriman, Heinz, Jay, Kellogg, Phelps, Pillsbury, Pinchot, Rockefeller, Taft, Vanderbilt, Weyerhauser and Whitney are some of the names on the roster. Minorities were brought in in the 1950s and the first women were admittedd in 1991. The Order Skull and Bones is a secret society founded at Yale by William Huntington Russell(SB 1833). His cousin, Samuel Russell's family enterprise, Russell Company was the largest American opium smuggler working with the Scotch firm Jardine-Matheson, the world's largest. Many New England and Southern families in the "China Trade" sent their sons to Yale and many were "tapped' into Skull and Bones. From Yale, "Bonesmen" went into and were very influential in the worlds of commerce, communications, diplomacy, education, espionage, finance, law and politics. There have been two Skull and Bones Presidents, at least 10 Senators, two Chief Justices of the Supreme Court and many US representatives and state governors. Bonesmen have held myriad lesser appointed posts and positions, with a particular affinity for the Central Intelligence Agency. This year, a BonesmanGeorge W. Bush(SB 1968) is the leading contender for the Presidency. The Bush Bonesmen Georgw W. Bush is the third generation of Bush Bonesmen to become prominent in national politics. His, father President George H. W. Bush, joined SB in 1948. His grandfather Prescott Bush (SB, 1917), was a Senator from Connecticut from 1952-1962, a partner in the Brown Brothers Harriman investment banking firm, and a director for CBS, Pan Am and Prudential. He was one of Ike's favorite golfing partners and a member of Washington's elite Alibi Club. But there was more to Prescott than met the resume. He had served as a US Army Intelligence liaison officer during World War I. Prescott's boss W. Averell Harriaman (SB 1913),worked closely with fellow "Bonesman", Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett (SB 1918) to organize US intelligence activities. They created a framework to run covert operations and psychological warfare. In 1954, H. S. Richardson, the maker of Vick's cough drops and Vapo-Rub, wrote in a letter to Senator Prescott Bush; "I want to get your advice and counsel on a subjectnamely what should be done with the income from a foundation, which my brothers and I are setting up." Eugene Stetson (SB 1934), an assistant manager at Brown Brothers, Harrimans organized the H. Smith Richardson Foundation. It participated in the MK-ULTRA, a secret CIA domestic psychological-warfare operation and helped to finance the testing of psychotropic drugs, including LSD, at Bridgewater Hospital in Massachusetts in the 50's. In the '80's, the H. Smith Richardson Foundation was a "private donors steering committee," working with the National Security Council to co-ordinate the Office of Public Diplomacy. This was an effort to propagandize the public in favor of and run cover for the Iran-Contra operations, and to coordinate published attacks on opponents of the program. In 1962, Prescott founded the National Strategy Information Center, with his son, Prescott Bush, Jr. and future CIA director William Casey, investment banker and veteranof the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the CIA's predecessor. The center laundered funds for the dissemination of CIA authored "news stories" to some 300 newspapers. Gordon Gray, another of Prescott's, golfing buddy was

I had wondered why there was so much constant news about NASA's inability to get the funding, so often failing at their public projects due to funding problems. It seemed obvious to me that this was all bull, that given the militarization of space etc and its importance in world domination, NASA would have all the money it needed, black-budget or otherwise, to do anything the controllers deemed necessary. But, I wondered, why this game of lack of funding? Also obvious is the extreme secrecy and military agenda of NASA from very early on, if not from the beginning, while pretending to be a public agency concerned only with "science". Clearly an increasingly bulky and difficult disguise to maintain. More and more, especially with the advent of the internet and the cross-pollination this engendeers, this fascade was cracking up. Soon it would be undeniable that the public has been tricked, ripped off, vampiracly sucked dry, to unwittingly support an agenda of world domination. What I see now is that the ever-chiming news that "NASA can't afford to do what the public wants" has been all along the tool for manifesting a public acceptance of the idea that NASA become an official military agency where "OF COURSE all their data is secret". --- stv -Original Message- From: Wes Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2000 9:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Global Network Against Weapons Nuclear Power in Space; Alex Randall; carol rosin Subject: [MC] Space warz, anyone?

1.28.00 G.W. Bush: The Walking Smirk// --Manchester Union Leader Editorial Shreds Bush Yesterday NewsHawk forwarded a brief article written by Justin Tribble of the Columbine Research Task Force; on how Bill Bradley, by enabling GORE's nomination, could well be serving to help ensure that G.W. Bush will be the Republican Party nominee, as the only candidate strong enough to beat the "Wooden One." In our intro we wrote of Dubya that he was "an incompetent, airheaded smirker and shirker who has no ability even to be dogcatcher of Dead Stick, Texas (pop.- 0) let alone president of the U.S." And we MEANT it. ESPECIALLY the part about the smirk. Well, it appears we're not the only ones disgusted with the arrogant (REALLY galling from such an airheaded IDIOT!) and condescending attitudes displayed by the jerk whom Justin Tribble so accurately labeled a "braindead, coked-up frat boy." New Hampshire's Manchester Union Leader, long considered a prominent national conservative mouthpiece, roasted the smug twit, G.W. Bush, BIGTIME in an editorial today, published four days before the New Hampshire primary. Just last month, the paper rightly dubbed Dubya, the governor of Texas, "an empty suit." Today's editorial called Bush a "double-talking Texan"; saying he had an "attitude of ill-disguised contempt" for even having to bother debating his rivals and answering their questions. The Union Leader noted Dubya's obnoxious attitude seemed to extend to the people of New Hampshire as well, and ALSO made note of "the poor track record" of father George Bush as our President. Well, I'LL SAY!! We hope to God that this insufferable piece of trash G.W. Bush is dumped in the landfill with the other garbage immediately--if not sooner. NewsHawk® Inc. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- WIRE:01/28/2000 10:47:00 ET Bush Derided for Smirk, Smug Attitude in Editorial MANCHESTER, N.H. (Reuters) - Republican front-runner George W. Bush was dubbed "Gov. Smirk" and derided for "his smug attitude" by New Hampshire's biggest newspaper on Friday, four days before the first primary of the 2000 campaign. The blistering front-page editorial in the Manchester Union Leader, which has endorsed Bush's rival Steve Forbes for the Republican presidential nomination, was headed "Bush insults NH." The newspaper, which called the Texas governor "an empty suit" last month, said it had become clear why Bush's "handlers" had kept his pre-primary appearances in New Hampshire "to a minimum." "They were rightly concerned that his smug attitude and smart remarks would not do him any good," the editorial said. "Some people say that Gov. Smirk comes across that way on TV because he's really just nervous." But the newspaper, long a major conservative voice in the state's politics, concluded that after Wednesday's televised debate among the five Republican contenders, "It is obvious that this is not nerves, it is nervy." The editorial called Bush a "double-talking Texan" and accused Bush of harboring an "attitude of ill-disguised contempt" for even having to appear with his four rivals and answer their questions. It said that attitude seemed to extend to the people of New Hampshire, recalling Bush had said he would only defend the state keeping its first-in-the-nation primary if he wins on Feb. 1. Bush and his staff have said he was joking, but the Union Leader wrote that given "the poor track record" of his father, former President George Bush, and "other mushy moderates" in New Hampshire, "it is easy to believe he was dead serious."

The researchers found a mutation in the gene encoding for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, a protein that transmits brain signals, which they say more than doubles the risk of suicidal behavior in those who carry it. ``Individuals who carry the (mutation) are at higher risk when a situation that triggers their suicidal tendencies will occur,'' neurobiologist Dr. Pavel Hrdina, who co-wrote the landmark study, told the newspaper. The study looked at patients suffering from major depression, so its results do not apply to healthy people who may attempt suicide as a one-time ``cry for help'' or to gain attention, doctors said.

Online : Hot Titles/A - Obscene Profits The Entrepreneurs of Pornography in the Cyber Age By: Frederick S. Lane Routledge, New York 12/1999 272 pages 6 x 9 Cloth ISBN: 0415920965 $27.50 (US) $39.50 (Canada) Qty: OBSCENE PROFITS The Entrepreneurs of Pornography in the Cyber Age by Frederick S. Lane III "[Lane] offers a fascinating and informative look at the business of porn-ography and the boost it has gotten from technology. Telephones, VCRs, computers, and, especially, the Internet have increased privacy and reduced the potential for public embarrassment and prosecution . . . Lane looks back on the history of pornography for fun and profit, from early fetishes found in archeological digs to Ben Franklin's little-known contributions to current video games that titillate with sex and violence." -- Booklist "[Lane] provides a timely case study of the business and economics of pornography. What makes this an interesting study is that with the advent of VCRs and the Internet, barriers to pornography's market entry were effectively bulldozed . . . The book is written in such a way that parallels can be made to other Internet enterprises." -- Library Journal In May 1997, the Wall Street Journal ran a feature article on the business skills of Danni Ashe and her success in using a new medium-the Internet-to sell sexually explicit images of herself and other models. A subheading proclaimed "Lessons for the Mainstream." The Journal article concluded with an impressive recitation of the site's yearly revenues: "The pay site boasts 17,000 members, putting Ms. Ashe on pace for more than $2 million." Our fascination with economic success fuels the media coverage of the online porn business. For instance: "How to Make with XXX (Wired); "More Buck for the Bang (Newsweek); "Sex on the Net: Small Operators Can Make Big Killings on the Web (USA Today); and "Smut Purveyors Find Profits Online (New York Times). Why is porn so popular? So lucrative? So legitimate? OBSCENE PROFITS: The Entrepreneurs of Pornography in the Cyber Age by Frederick Lane, is a social and technological history of the porn industry. Lane traces the developments that have made it possible for a former stripper to be profiled in an unabashedly positive front-page article in the Wall Street Journal. The combination of an enormously successful sexual entrepreneur (Hugh Hefner), a well-attended sexual revolution, government deregulation, First Amendment politics, and a steady flow of technological innovations to increase the privacy of pornographic consumption have significantly reduced or eliminated much of the stigma attached to pornography. The porn industry makes $10 billion in total annual revenue (equal to what Americans pay for sporting events and live music performances combined). Baby boomers have made pornography a full-blown sector of the American economy. A series of technological advances (including "Dial-It" 900 numbers, voice mail, Xmodem, computerized bulletin board systems, Usenet, Hypertext Markup Language, Internet Relay Chat, and Web Cam) have revolutionized the pornographic industry. It is now very easy for virtually anyone to become a producer and distributor of sexually explicit materials. For less than $200, for instance, someone can purchase a camcorder, make a videotape of him or herself in the nude or having sex, send the video to a distributor of amateur videos, and earn royalties on its sale. Although the initial investment is higher, the cost of distributing sexual images across the Internet is even lower -- and the potential return is far greater. With over 60,000 adult websites online, it's undeniable that a lot of people -- a lot of ordinary people -- have recently decided to become porn entrepreneurs. About the Author Frederick S.

[CTRL] BATF computerized Profiling of school kids.
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- BATF and the rest of the overactive fascist federal bureaucracy - seeking to marginalize criminalize even the school kids today... via software ! This same software is GPS- aware (global positioning system) - so that targeted persons locations and movements may be surveilled with the assistance of satellites. Not to mention the surveillance cameras that are springing up on city streets. What is the intent? to create a prison-camp without walls? Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave MOSAIC 2000 "is an advanced computer assisted assessment system that provides guidance in the evaluation of situations that might escalate to violence," according to Gavin de Becker Inc., the security firm that developed the controversial system with the help of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The system rates each child on a violence scale of 1 to 10 according to their answers to such questions as gun ownership or access and family violence histories. Field trials began last month in about 25 school districts across the United States. Larry Pratt, president of Gun Owners of America noted that even the psychiatric profession admits predicting violence in individuals is uncertain at best. "A principal will do better flipping a coin than using this program," to determine who is prone to violence, he said.

Problem is, the First Amendment is getting in their way. Two of Alaska's laws that were part of the increased regulation on initiatives were deemed unconstitutional by a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, according to the state attorney general, and others are ripe for a legal challenge, free-speech advocates say. While lawmakers today consider a measure to bring state law into compliance with the high court's findings, they'll also consider adding still new restrictions to initiative efforts. This has activists from radically different positions blending their voices on one point: Don't mess with a citizen's ability to participate in the political system. Critics of initiatives argue they've become tools of special interests, are too easily influenced by money, often are poorly written or benefit one narrow philosophy. Their use has increased sharply in the 24 states that allow them by everyone from large political groups to civic-minded individuals. In Alaska, the use of initiatives to change or add laws has jumped in the past four decades. In the 1960s, only seven initiatives were applied for, proposed or added to the ballot. In the 1990s, that number jumped to 44. In response, legislators enacted laws in recent years that target the groups pushing the proposals and tighten the requirements for getting the measures on the ballot. In Alaska's last legislative session, former state Sen. Bert Sharp, R-Fairbanks, successfully sponsored a bill that required signature gatherers to reveal, at the bottom of each petition page, whether they were being paid and by whom. The bill also stripped the extra 30 days that groups were granted if they came up short on their efforts. The state Senate Judiciary Committee will consider a proposed constitutional amendment and accompanying bill requiring that more signatures be gathered on petitions from a larger number of districts. State Rep. Bill Williams, R-Saxman, sponsor of the measures, argues that most names are gathered in large cities like Anchorage or Fairbanks, while smaller areas are not well represented. So his bill requires petitions to have signatures amounting to 4% of votes cast in the last general election in each of 30 districts to reach the required 10% statewide total. Besides further regulating the initiative process, the bill must take a step in the other direction, thanks to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last January. The ruling in Buckley v. American Constitutional Law Foundation found that three provisions in Colorado's law regulating voter initiatives were "excessively restrictive of political speech." The court said states cannot require people who circulate petitions to be registered voters or to wear name badges that say whether they're being paid. States also can't require initiative backers to file monthly reports to the state identifying who is gathering signatures and how much they're being paid. ARKANSAS (A) Publicity Over Remarks Aids Farmers (from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette) Rep. Jay Dickey has been on the defensive ever since he told 100 members of the state chapter of the Black Farmers and Agriculturalists Association that it will be hard for him to convince fellow Republicans to work with him on their behalf in Washington because the farmers have not supported him politically. The remarks drew rebukes from Dickey's political opponents and prompted one lawmaker last week to threaten to file a congressional ethics complaint against Dickey. But, while announcing his plans to work on black farmer issues with Oklahoma Rep. J.C. Watts, Congress' only black Republican, Dickey said the criticism over his remarks has actually helped the farmers' cause. Dickey said in a written statement that he and Watts "are exploring the possibility" of writing

I did not own a videocamera to record the events... so a kindly senior citizen named Martha Brimer allowed me to borrow her camera... -- thus, my saga began. It is with deep regret that I have to tell you that the flu that has been rampaging across the world weakened her to the point that she passed away last Wednesday. Martha's passing is also a great loss to the UFO community... as her archives of fantastic images.. utilizing 'The Technique' was formidable.. to say the least. Her family doesn't believe in any of this... so, most likely.. her library is lost to us forever. Some of the video stills from those tapes were quite amazing. I sent one to Art Bell -- and he found it so intriguing..that he had me come on his show with Lee and Britt Elders -- and he posted this image on his website. http://208.225.201.201/img/brosunufo.jpg With Martha's help.. I, myself was subsequently interviewed and featured on 'SIGHTINGS' - 'Hardcopy' - Jaime Masson's 60 'Minutos' KNBC News in Los Angeles... and Art Bell's - 'Coast to Coast' radio program. The story became even stranger... as a couple of months after I discovered 'The Technique' - I was hired as a space alien on a television show - 'SPACE: ABove and Beyond.' This job lasted approximately one year. http://www.geocities.com/johnbro60/ChigP.jpg Later, I did a 6-week stint as a fearsome space alien on the popular television series 'Star Trek: Voyager.' http://www.geocities.com/johnbro60/VoyP.jpg As you might imagine, my being a space alien on television shows did not help my credibility in the field of Ufology. Somehow, I feel that it was all connected... in some strange way. Martha Brimer was a true pioneer in the genre' -- holding one of the most awesome libraries of personally recorded UFO video that there ever was. T.J. Constable was amazed when we showed it to him. Now... I fear that her story and contributions to Ufology will be lost forever. I felt the need to pass that along to you. In her passing, the flu bug cost us all a great deal.

Please see my new website: http://www.geocities.com/johnbro60/ = - IF IT'S ON TV, IT MUST BE TRUE DEPARTMENT - The CIA Is Our To Get Us - By Ross Raihala The Fargo Forum The Discovery Channel recently premiered the fascinating and somewhat frightening special "On the Inside: The CIA." The two-hour special - which airs at 5 p.m. today, 8 p.m. Wednesday and 5 p.m. Saturday - has much to scare conspiracy theorists. Take, for example, this quote from CIA senior operations officer Chase Brandon: "If you look at our surveillance airplane, the SR-71 Blackbird, we'll now admit that with 35-year-old aviation technology and 35-year-old cameras, from 85,000 feet the SR-71 could take pictures of golf balls on a putting green. And it probably wouldn't be incorrect if you assumed we could also read whether that (golf ball) was a Titleist or a Wilson. It existed 35 years ago, and you can just imagine the kind of things that are done now." The documentary was shot with "unprecedented cooperation at the highest level of the CIA" and was filmed at some locations that have never been seen before by many CIA employees. Among the revelations of the show: *The actual number of CIA employees is classified. *CIA employee badges show only faces, no names. It is not uncommon for employees to eat together in the CIA dining room for years and years and not know each other's real identity or function. *"Top Secret" is not the highest level of security. The name of even higher classification levels is . a secret. *Everyone who works for the CIA, from kitchen workers to covert operations directors, has a designated security clearance.

Note that Father Malachi Martin is mentioned in their response. As you know, since the time of this first letter over a year ago, the revelations have come forward just days ago as I have posted to all.(dated 01/25/00) Folks, I feel truly blessed and humbled to be called upon to play a role in the awakening and preparation of the changes to come. Blessings, Mitch The Third Secret of Fatima...12/24/99 by Mitch Battros (ECTV) For some reason the Third Letter Of Fatima kept coming to me over the last few days Maybe just because it's Christmas time. I'm really not sure of the reason for an insistent inner voice telling me to publish this once again. Finally I am giving in. Below is a direct response from the Vatican itself. This letter is from the official Fatima Centre in Italy. I had sent them a letter asking to clarify what the "Third Letter Of Fatima" really means. Below is their answer. Perhaps the floods mentioned "oceans will flood whole areas of the earth", is the weather phenomenon we are experiencing today. Original request dated (11-26-98) Response (dated 11-30-98) Greetings Mr. Battros, Father Gruner has asked that we thank you for your e-mail via the Internet. In answer to your thoughts, firstly, the Third Secret has never been officially revealed by the Pope or the Vatican, and its contents are only known by a few people connected with the Vatican. Therefore, we do not know exactly what it says. Cardinal Ratzinger, who has read the Third Secret, said, ";The Third Secret refers to the dangers to our Faith, and therefore to the life of the Christian and therefore to the life of the world."; Father Gruner wrote in his book, 'Jesus Tells Us, Make It Known,' ";..as Father Alonso pointed out, it (the Third Secret) refers to the guilt of some of the upper hierarchy, that is bishops and Cardinals, for the state of apostasy within the Church today"; (pg. 4). Also, Sister Lucy said that if you want to know what the Third Secret contains, read chapters 8 and 13 of the book of Apocalypse in the Bible. Cardinal Silvio Oddi said, ";The Blessed Virgin was alerting us against the apostasy in the Church"; (Crusader #33, pg. 14). Sister Lucy said before 1986, ";The punishments predicted in the Third Secret have already begun"; (Fatima Crusader #20, pg. 6). Pope John Paul II allegedly said, when asked about the Third Secret, ";..It should be sufficient for all Christians to know this: If there is a message in which it is written that the oceans will flood whole areas of the earth, (perhaps an asteroid) and that from one moment to the next, millions of people will perish, truly the publication of such a message is no longer something to be so much desired"; (Crusader #9-10, pg. 8). Dr. Malachi Martin, a priest and ex-jesuit who apparently has read the Third Secret, confirmed that it is ";..The unprecedented crisis in contemporary Catholicism and the failure of the hierarchy to adequately address it"; (Crusader #54, pg. 94). Let us continue to pray, especially the daily Rosary, do penance and live good lives as Our Lady of Fatima requested. Please remember us in your prayers, and may God bless you and may our heavenly Mother Mary draw you ever closer to Her Divine Son Jesus. Sincerely in Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Sr. Jane Frances Theresa, S.R.

[CTRL] Black Panthers (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Washington Times June 12, 1998 Hillary for the defense A gang of criminals tortures, mutilates and murders a black man. The nation demands justice for the brutal killing. Jasper, Texas, 1998? Not quite. It's New Haven, Conn., 1969. This week's killing of 49-year-old James Byrd, reportedly by three convicts, bears similarities to the torture-murder of 24-year-old Alex Rackley in 1969. Like Mr. Byrd's murderers --suspected of ties to the Aryan Brotherhood and the Ku Klux Klan -- the leaders of the Black Panthers were hardened ex-cons who had developed their doctrines of racial hatred in prison. In 1969, Panther leaders in New Haven suspected Mr. Rackley of disloyalty. He was tied to a chair, and his comrades tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him. Finally, Panther gunman Warren Kimbro ended Mr. Rackley's suffering with a bullet to the head. Only one of the killers was still in prison in 1977. The gunman, Warren Kimbro, got a Harvard scholarship and became an assistant dean at Eastern Connecticut State College. Ericka Huggins, who boiled the water for Mr. Rackley's torture, got elected to a California school board. Unlike the Texas trio accused of killing Mr. Byrd, the Panthers in 1969 became a cause for radicals at Yale Law School. One of those law students, Hillary Rodham, "organized shifts for her classmates" to "monitor civil rights abuses" during the trial of Mr. Rackley's killers and aided the American Civil Liberties Union's defense of the Panthers, David Brock wrote in his 1996 book about the first lady. Through her involvement in the defense of these killers, he reported, Ms. Rodham met Communist Party lawyer Robert Treuhaft and won an internship in his Berkeley law office. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Clinton pushes national gun ID card
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Clinton pushes national gun ID card Announcement takes 2nd Amendment groups by surprise -- -- By David M. Bresnahan © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com President Bill Clinton shocked gun owners throughout the nation last night when he proposed that all citizens be licensed by the government before they can purchase a handgun. "Every state in this country already requires hunters and automobile drivers to have a license. I think they ought to do the same thing for handgun purchases," Clinton said. "I hope you'll help me pass that in this Congress." The proposal, part of the president's State of the Union agenda, would add to the required Brady background check now in force the requirement that adults wishing to purchase a firearm first take a special training course, and then be issued a gun license before they could purchase a firearm. The photo I.D. would be issued by states under the federally mandated program, according to a White House source. In the event a state does not agree to participate in the program, a federal gun license would be made available in that state. President Clinton last night, asking Congress to approve national photo IDs for purchasing guns. Federally licensed gun dealers would be required by the proposed law to check for the gun license before selling handguns. Asked if the proposed gun license would later expand to all types of firearms, the White House source said it was a "natural progression." The proposal came as a total surprise to officials of the National Rifle Association and the Gun Owners of America. In his speech, the President spoke of the death of Daniel Mauser, 15, in the Columbine High School shooting last year. His father, Tom Mauser, was sitting on the Democrat side of the aisle when he was introduced. ``Crime in America has dropped for the past seven years, the longest decline on record, thanks to a national consensus we helped forge on community police, sensible gun control, and effective prevention,'' Clinton said. ``But nobody believes America is safe enough. So let's set a higher goal: Let's make America the safest big country in the world." Regarding Clinton's use of Mauser in the audience, Gun Owners of America Executive Director Larry Pratt told WorldNetDaily, "It's become a dog and pony show." Pratt said he received an emotional call from Mauser after he recently appeared on a television show. He accused Mauser of expressing hatred for guns and gun owners, and of being unwilling to listen to facts. "If the Republicans show some moxie for a change, the Democrats will have hung themselves," said Pratt, who spoke with WorldNetDaily while watching the speech from his home. "This is the kind of thing that lost them control of the Congress in 1994," said Pratt. "To volunteer to bring it up in a campaign year, Clinton must be very sure of himself that 'reasonable gun safety' is a way that he can talk about gun control [while] preparing for confiscation. That's what this is, by the way, the preparation for confiscation, which we've seen in New York already. We've seen it in California," said Pratt. Clinton recently initiated a campaign that promotes fighting crime as well as gun safety issues. The National Rifle Association, in a recent statement about the campaign, said the organization remains skeptical regarding Clinton's real desire to fight crime. NRA Institute for Legislative Action executive director James Jay Baker commented, "I'm glad that the president has finally agreed with the NRA that enforcing federal firearms laws makes sense. We've been pushing for more enforcement of existing laws, and it's unfortunate that it took him until the seventh year of his term to finally take that seriously." However, Baker cautioned, "The president has proved adept at changing his position. When we see the detailed budget, we'll know if he has truly changed." The statement added an expectation that Clinton would not "temper his anti-gun zeal." An NRA spokesman, Brian Judy, was caught by surprise when WorldNetDaily informed him of the gun-licensing plan shortly before the State of the Union address began, and could not offer an official comment. After the speech, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said, "What's it going to solve? The criminals could care less. They're not going to stand in line; they won't comply with it." Vice President Al Gore and former Sen. Bill Bradley have both proposed gun licensing. Republican presidential candidates have taken a different stand. Texas Gov. George W. Bush has spoken for an increase of the age for handgun purchases to 21, as well as instant background checks at gun shows. But Bush opposes licensing or registration. Steve Forbes has stated that states should set their own gun laws, while Alan
[CTRL] Clinton faces disbarment
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! -- -- Clinton faces disbarment Arkansas Supreme Court rules move to strip chief executive's law license must proceed -- -- By David M. Bresnahan © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com While President Bill Clinton was putting the finishing touches on his state of the union address, he was greeted with the news that the Arkansas Supreme Court had dealt him a major legal blow. Clinton will soon surrender his license to practice law or face disbarment, according to an attorney who has taken action against him. The Atlanta-based Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a complaint on Sept. 15, 1998, reported at the time by WorldNetDaily, alleging Clinton's untruthful testimony in the Paula Jones case and during the subsequent independent counsel investigation was serious enough to warrant his being disbarred. Essentially ignoring state law, the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct has failed for over a year to take any action. Matthew Glavin, president of Southeastern Legal Foundation, told WorldNetDaily in December that his group had taken the issue directly to the Arkansas Supreme Court to force the committee to act. The Arkansas Supreme Court has issued an order that mandates immediate action on disbarment of President Bill Clinton. In a previous interview with WorldNetDaily, Neal said he would not take action until all legal proceedings and impeachment proceedings were completed. But yesterday the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled in favor of the petition for a writ of mandamus just hours before Clinton gave his state of the union address. The six-page decision was critical of James Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Supreme Court Professional Conduct Committee, for his failure to abide by the law. Neal has now been ordered by the court to move forward without delay. Chief Justice W. H. "Dub" Arnold and Associate Justice Ray Thornton wrote the order for the seven-member court. All members of the court are elected in a statewide election. The petition was filed by attorney L. Lynn Hogue to compel Neal and his committee members to perform their duty. Neal responded to the court that such matters are confidential, and that he and his committee acted within their authority. The order agreed with the need for confidentiality, but did not agree with the failure to act. It stated that Neal and his committee "have certain mandates they must follow once a complaint is initiated," and then gave specific orders for the committee to follow. The court order points out the fact that when a judge has ruled against an attorney, there is no need for Neal or the committee to determine whether or not a complaint is justified. "It is significant to note that our procedures mandate that the Committee accept and treat as a formal complaint any writing signed by a judge of a court of record in this state," the court order stated. Federal District Court Judge Susan Webber Wright, the presiding judge in the Paula Jones case, issued a civil contempt citation to President Clinton for his misrepresentations under oath. The citation, issued in April 1999, states in part: "It is not acceptable to employ deceptions and falsehoods in an attempt to obstruct the judicial process." The citation also mentions an even higher standard expected of President Clinton because of his position. The president's "conduct in this case, coming as it did from a member of the bar and the chief law enforcement officer of this Nation, was without justification and undermined the integrity of the judicial system," said Judge Wright. President Clinton's attorneys did not appeal the civil contempt citation issued by Wright. "This is not a complicated case," Glavin told WorldNetDaily. "There are no issues of fact in question. A federal judge has already ruled on the issues of fact. A, the president lied, and B, the president obstructed justice, and he was cited for contempt and fined. So there is no question regarding fact. This is not a complicated case that should take a long time. It shouldn't take the six months that a complicated case would," he said in a phone interview. A secretary in Neal's office told WorldNetDaily that he was not available to speak to the press. Neal has been quoted in previous press accounts as saying that the most complicated disbarment case should not take more than six months. The order by the court essentially tells Neal that he has not done his job. It then lists the specific steps called for in the law that Neal must now follow. The citation by Wright against Clinton should have forced Neal to act, even if The Southeastern Legal Foundation had not filed a complaint, according to the court decision. Neal has been
[CTRL] Lying query brings president to mind
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Lying query brings president to mind By Jennifer Harper THE WASHINGTON TIMES Visit our Election 2000 page for daily election news and analysis The five Republican presidential candidates faced a real moment of truth Wednesday night as they parried and postured before the cameras during a televised debate. And it was a question about truth. CNN's Bernard Shaw wanted to know: "Should it be a felony for the president to lie to the American people?" The five talked primarily â most talked exclusively â about lying under oath with Bible in hand and lawyers present and assumed that Mr. Shaw was referring to President Clinton. * George W. Bush: "Lying under oath is a felony. And all of us on this stage can make the pledge that we will swear to uphold the laws of the land and the honor, integrity of the office to which we have been elected. . . ." * John McCain: "I voted to convict the president of the United States on grounds that he lied under oath. . . . The people of this country are suffering from Clinton fatigue, and it's because they want someone who will look them in the eye and tell them the truth. That's the pledge I've made to the people of New Hampshire and the people of this country." * Steve Forbes: "This president has lied repeatedly, and I don't think it's going to work to, say, try to get in a situation where he may not say something for national security reasons, as Dwight Eisenhower did. But that is very different from lying under oath, which this president did. That is a felony, and he should have been removed for it. . . ." * Gary Bauer: "Lying under oath is a felony. That's absolutely right. . . . Presidents have sat there in that office and have made decisions that resulted in our sons going off to foreign battlefields. This president sat in that office, and we know what he did. . . . This brings shame to our country." * Alan Keyes: "Well, I think that lying under oath is clearly a felony. But we shouldn't think that that's how you take care of a president when he lies and disregards his oath. That is the responsibility not of the courts but of Congress. And I think that this Congress under the corrupt pressure from a Democrat Party that surrounded its corrupt president â that refused in fact to apply the necessary strictures in order to call this nation back to accountability and integrity â they need to be held accountable. . . ." Mr. Shaw said he asked the question "without qualifiers or clauses" because he "wanted the candidates to fill in the blanks, to reveal thoughts and feelings. The prime issue in this race is character, and that question was designed to get at that quality." But nobody replied with much "historical width," Mr. Shaw said. If the president lies to the public â or "misleads" them, as Mr. Clinton said during the battle over his impeachment â is it a major crime? "The line is not bright or clear on this," said presidential scholar Bruce Buchanan of the University of Texas. "The nature of politics and the presidency itself is the strategic maneuvering and shading of information. "But if lying to the public was a felony," he added, "They all would have gone to jail." Presidents have fibbed for personal reasons, to protect the American integrity or the national interest, Mr. Buchanan said. Defining the parameters of all this maneuvering, Mr. Buchanan said, helps define the nature of the presidency itself. This notion has intrigued and perplexed many. Independent prosecutor Kenneth W. Starr wrote in his report to Congress that grounds for impeachment included the fact that "President Clinton abused his constitutional authority by lying to the public and the Congress in January 1998 about his relationship with [Monica] Lewinsky." In three impeachment articles approved by the House Judiciary Committee against President Nixon in 1974, one paragraph indicted Mr. Nixon for "making false or misleading public statements to the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States. . . ." During the founding period, Alexander Hamilton noted in one of the Federalist Papers that an impeachable offense hinged upon "injury" inflicted upon "society itself." Beyond legalities, lying is also an emotional offense. In the months surrounding Mr. Clinton's impeachment, polls gauged the subjective side of things. A Gannett survey last year asked respondents if it was acceptable for public officials to lie if their "motives are good."

[CTRL] US links theater defenses for Taiwan to Chinese missile buildup in talks
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Friday, January 28 8:16 AM SGT US links theater defenses for Taiwan to Chinese missile buildup in talks WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (AFP) - The United States warned a top Chinese general in talks here this week that a Chinese missile buildup has raised the issue of whether to supply Taiwan with theater missile defenses, a senior US defense official said Thursday. The warning came during three days of talks here with Lieutenant General Xiong Guangkai which ended Wednesday in agreement to resume US-Chinese military-to-military contacts despite strong disagreements over Taiwan and US missile defense plans. Washington has made no decision to supply Taiwan with theater missile defenses, said Walter Slocombe, the undersecretary of defense who led the US side in the talks at the Pentagon. "But we also made clear that one of the reasons why this is an issue is the buildup of Chinese missile capability, and that since we're talking about what's a sufficient defense capability, obviously the level of Chinese deployments is a relevant factor," he said. He said the Chinese were told "there are consequences" to how they deploy their military forces. "And that one of the factors in our decisions about arms sales to Taiwan is the state of the Chinese threat to Taiwan, because our statutory standard and our policy is to provide Taiwan with a sufficient defense capability, and obviously the level of Chinese deployment and the character of it is a very important factor in that," Slocombe said. Despite the disagreements, the two sides agreed to resume military-to-military contacts that were halted by Beijing after a US bomber accidentally struck the Chinese embassy in Belgrade last May, killing three people and injuring 27. US Defense Secretary William Cohen said he had accepted an invitation by Xiong to visit Beijing. He will be preceded by Admiral Dennis Blair, commander-in-chief of US forces in the Pacific. The two sides also agreed to engage in confidence building activities, including a resumption of meetings on maritime arrangements to avoid incidents at sea and discussions on how their militaries can help with humanitarian and natural disaster relief. "This is a balanced and deliberate program," Slocombe said. "It seeks to reopen contacts. These contacts are an important tool for building confidence and understanding." "I believe that General Xiong Guangkai came to re-start military-to-military contacts, and he returns to China with the sense that the United States is committed to engagement with China," said Slocombe. The official said the embassy bombing, which ignited anti-American protests in China last year, was recalled by the Chinese delegation but "was not a big issue in the discussions." But the Chinese did oppose deployment of a US National Missile Defense system, saying the 1972 US-Russian Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty should not be altered to allow it, Slocombe said. President Bill Clinton is supposed to decide in June whether to order deployment of the system, which was unsuccessfully tested earlier this month over the Pacific. On non-proliferation issues, China made the "rhetorical point" of linking its cooperation to US arms sales to Taiwan, Slocombe said. "We made clear that we attach very great importance to their strictly complying both with their legal obligations and with some political undertakings that they've made to the United States," he said. -- -- **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] Top Chinese General 'Had to Know' of Corruption
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Chung: Top Chinese General 'Had to Know' of Corruption Johnny Chung with Carl Limbacher Thursday January 27, 2000 "We like your president. We want to see him reelected." Those were the words of former Chinese intelligence chief Gen. Ji Shengde, as he sat across a dinner table from me in 1996 and pledged $300,000 to the Democratic Party for the express purpose of reinstalling Bill Clinton in the White House. Now, in a stunning development that has shaken China's ruling class to its core, the general has been arrested as part of a massive crackdown on widespread government corruption. The scandal revolves around billions of dollars in smuggled merchandise and apparently touches dozens of high-ranking Communist Party, police and banking officials. Ji is being held pending his full cooperation with investigators. It's not clear whether he's under house arrest or has actually been jailed. The New York Times reported last Saturday: "During the 1990s, the sprawling syndicate smuggled billions of dollars worth of cars, oil and industrial materials through the bustling Southeastern port of Xiamen, evading huge sums in taxes, according to officials familiar with the case . . . "Bit by bit, officials in Xiamen and Beijing have privately confirmed to foreign reporters many startling details about a case that has Beijing's political cognoscenti buzzing with speculation about where it may lead." My sources tell me that the investigation has now led to some of the same Chinese government officials whom I came to know after I became famous in China for my friendship with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Besides Ji, Liu Chaoying, the China Aerospace executive who introduced me to the general, is now under investigation. As the Times reports, the dimensions of this scandal are something never before seen in China. Even the vice minister of China's Justice Department has been detained and questioned. When I testified before Congress about Ji's offer to help re-elect Clinton, Beijing was not pleased. It sent agents to assassinate me. The FBI has confirmed the arrest of at least one of them. As for Ji, he was demoted. He's now a teacher, which is a far cry from the status he once enjoyed as the keeper of China's intelligence secrets. For the son of one of China's most powerful military men, Ji's demotion is a personal disgrace. Just days ago, after months of refusing to talk, Vice Minister of Justice Li Ji-Zhuo implicated Ji in the smuggling conspiracy. Li was compelled to talk after Yang, a low-level informant in Southern China, named Ji along with 50 other top Communist Party officials. At the center of the scandal is Xiamen businessman Lai Changxing, president of the Yuanhua Group, who investigators say bribed local customs officials to look the other way as his smuggling operation grew. Key witness Yang was the intermediary between Lai and Ji, with whom Yang worked very closely. According to the Times: "The authorities have closed down (Lai's) Yuanhua company, and at some point last fall Lai disappeared, presumably into a secret life abroad." Lai isn't the only one with a secret life abroad. Sources tell me that Chinese investigators have learned about United States bank accounts held by Ji's wife totaling millions of dollars. And if that weren't bad enough, both Mr. and Mrs. Ji own million-dollar-plus homes in a wealthy Los Angeles neighborhood, according to the latest revelations. For now, Ji has thrown up a protective umbrella over his relationship with Lai and has yet to tell probers where the mysterious businessman is hiding. While the scandal rocks Beijing's princeling class, Ji's former boss, Gen. Xiong Guangkai, is enjoying a red-carpet welcome at the Clinton Pentagon as he cajoles top U.S. military officials to trim military aide to Taiwan and abandon America's own plans for a missile-defense shield. Could Xiong be involved in the smuggling conspiracy as well? There's no evidence to suggest that yet. Still, the way things work in the Chinese military, it's hard to believe Ji would do anything that Xiong hadn't already approved. People's Republic of China President Jiang Zemin has yet to address the burgeoning scandal directly. But in a Jan. 14 address to the Communist Party's Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee, Jiang made a thinly veiled reference to the rampant corruption, according to a report in the People's Daily the next day: "Leading cadres who are found to have violated discipline and the law must certainly be strictly investigated and handled . . . No matter who they are, no matter what their seniority, they should be punished in whatever way is appropriate." Now, Beijing's ruling class waits and wonders: If Gen. Ji Shengde begins to talk, whom is he liable to bring down with him? And how will President Jiang react as the scandal spreads to
[CTRL] [7] CIA Briefings of Presidential Candidates
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- from: http://www.odci.gov/csi/books/briefing/cia-10.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.odci.gov/csi/books/briefing/cia-10.htm"Chapte r 7 -- Concluding Observations/A - Chapter 7 Concluding Observations Through nine transitions since 1952, the CIA has provided intelligence support to presidents-elect. This support, endorsed by each of the sitting presidents, has been designed primarily to acquaint the incoming president with developments abroad that will require his decisions and actions as president. A second goal has been to establish a solid working relationship with each new president and his advisers so the Agency could serve him well, once in office. The CIA has been generally, but not uniformly, successful in accomplishing these goals. Overall, it has proved easier to help the new president become well informed than to establish an enduring relationship. Both aims have been met better in recent transitions than during some of the earlier ones. At the time they took office, the first five postwar presidents differed markedly from the second group of five. In general, the latter had a greater and more up-to-date familiarity with intelligence information. Two of the earlier group, Eisenhower and Nixon, were experienced and expert in foreign affairs, but their knowledge of intelligence programs was dated and incomplete. The background and attitudes that the president-elect brings with him obviously are powerful variables in determining the extent to which the CIA effort will succeed. Ironically, prior familiarity with the Intelligence Community and experience with foreign developments--or lack thereof--do not by themselves predict much of anything. Presidents Clinton and Reagan, for example, were by any objective measure the least experienced in foreign affairs at the time of their election, yet by inauguration day each had absorbed an immense amount of information. Once in office, their dramatically different operating styles dictated the nature of their equally different relationships with the CIA. At the other extreme, Presidents Bush and Eisenhower provide the clearest cases of individuals who had had long experience with foreign affairs before their election. Here too, however, their management styles, personal interests, and backgrounds determined their different relationships with CIA after inauguration--informal and close in one case, formal and aloof in the other. The Agency had provided good substantive support to each during the transition. In the three cases where the CIA's relationship with the White House was to prove the least satisfactory--or the most volatile, a different but equally challenging matter--the president either brought a grudge with him or quickly became disillusioned with the Agency. President Nixon felt the CIA had cost him the 1960 election; President Kennedy was immediately undercut and disillusioned by the CIA-run Bay of Pigs misadventure; and President Johnson was alienated by CIA's negative assessments on Vietnam. In each of these cases the relationship was not helped by the fact that the Agency had not succeeded in providing good intelligence support to, and establishing ties with, any of the three before their inauguration. The obvious but sometimes elusive key for the CIA, and particularly its director, is to grasp each new president's needs and operating style and accommodate them during the transition and beyond. Individual proclivities aside, however, some generalizations can be offered about how CIA can best approach its unique mission of providing substantive support during presidential transitions. Most of the evidence suggests that the Agency has learned from its past experiences and built on them. Patterns of Support In looking at the intelligence support provided the first five presidents before their inauguration, it is necessary to set aside President Truman, who came to office before the creation of the CIA, and Johnson, whose elevation to the presidency came suddenly amid extraordinary circumstances that one hopes will never be repeated. Concerning the other three, it is notable that each of them--Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Nixon--received intelligence briefings both in the preelection period and during the postelection transition. Kennedy and Nixon received few briefings; Eisenhower was given somewhat more, including several presented by the DCI. However, not one of the first group of five read the Agency's daily publications or met with a CIA officer for daily updates during the transition. Only Kennedy received a briefing on covert activities and sensitive collection programs before being sworn in. During the first 25 years of its existence, CIA enjoyed no significant success in its efforts to establish a more productive and supportive relationship with each President. The reverse was true: these

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- To serve and protect ? www.wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : North America One hundred frame-ups admitted in widening Los Angeles police scandal By John Andrews 28 January 2000 Back to screen version For the past six months, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has been wracked by a mushrooming scandal. A former officer, Raphael Perez, has revealed details of widespread frame-ups and brutality as part of his own plea bargain to escape punishment for stealing 8 pounds of cocaine from an LAPD evidence locker. On Tuesday a local judge overturned the convictions of 10 innocent people, bringing the total number of admitted LAPD frame-ups to 23. But this apparently only scratches the surface. Police Chief Bernard Parks announced Wednesday that at least 99 people were framed by Perez and his associates, and proposed that their criminal cases be dismissed en masse. Most of the convictions involved charges of possession of drugs or firearms. All arose from arrests made by Perez and his partner Nino Durden. They were assigned to an anti-gang unit called "CRASH," operating out of the LAPD's Rampart Division, which services a densely populated, largely immigrant working class area west of downtown. According to Perez, the pair and their CRASH cohorts regularly planted drugs and weapons and then lied on their reports and in court to secure convictions. At least one victim was shot in the head by officers and then left for dead. For all but 3 of the 99 frame-up victims, the exposure came too late as they had already served their sentences. Two of these three were ordered released from custody Tuesday. LAPD investigators have interviewed 52 of the victims. One is dead, and several others have not been located. Many were deported to Central America as a result of their false convictions. Octavio P. Davalos, a 41-year-old upholstery worker who served 91 days in jail on a drug charge, was present in court when his conviction for possession of cocaine was ordered overturned. His case was typical. He pled guilty to a crime he did not commit because under California's draconian sentencing law, he could have been sent to state prison for eight to sixteen years if the officers' lies had been believed by a jury. Although the Rampart investigation remains largely shrouded in secrecy, there have already been verified reports of shootings, beatings, drug dealing, witness intimidation, planting of evidence, false arrest, perjury, and at least one armed bank robbery tied directly to LAPD officers. Already 20 LAPD officers have been terminated or relieved from duty in the scandal. District Attorney Gil Garcetti announced that the review of another 30 to 40 cases is almost complete. Garcetti admitted that the volume of tainted cases is so great that he is going to have to add prosecutors to the Rampart task force, which already consists of seven lawyers, acknowledging that the corruption "is not confined to Rampart." Head Public Defender Michael Judge says that there may be as many as 4,000 more cases affected by the scandal which still need to be reviewed. A Los Angeles civil rights attorney, Stephen Yagman, obtained from the District Attorney's office a list of 9,845 potentially tainted cases, which he plans to post on the Internet. Perez was scheduled to be sentenced last month for his role in the cocaine theft, but the hearing was delayed because he has so much information to divulge about corruption in the LAPD. Meanwhile, no more officers have been arrested or prosecuted for their criminal activity, and only three are even being considered suspects. The double standard is obvious. Given the staggering volume of evidence of criminal conspiracies, if the suspects were anyone but police officers, they would have been locked up long ago. The LAPD Rampart corruption scandal exposes the corrupt relationships that exist between police, prosecutors and judges. The most alarming aspect of this affair is that virtually all the people falsely convicted pled guilty to crimes they did not commit, rather than risk exercising their democratic right to a jury trial. Only one of the twenty-three convictions reversed so far involved a jury trial. In that case, according to the defense attorney, an LAPD sergeant lied to cover up Perez's perjury. Those familiar with the criminal justice system know that everyone involved, especially the judges, prosecutors and police supervisors, tolerate widespread lying and manipulation of evidence by street officers. Represented by overworked public defenders and facing biased juries, criminal defendants face overwhelming pressure to "cop pleas" in exchange for more lenient sentences. The fraudulent convictions are then used to enhance the penalties available in subsequent cases. At the same time, reactionary appellate judges continue to erode procedural protections for those who choose to run the gauntlet of a criminal trial.
[CTRL] US Soldiers Disgrace The Uniform.
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Kosovo Albanians Have U.S. Gripe By Melissa Eddy Associated Press Writer Thursday, Jan. 27, 2000; 5:34 p.m. EST VITINA, Yugoslavia Lulzim Ukshini says he was hanging out with his buddies in Sam's Pizzeria when a grenade exploded in a Serb store across town. He also says the first he heard about the attack was when four U.S. peacekeepers came looking for him. "They started to beat me nonstop, telling me to admit that I did it," he said. "Then they pulled a knife out and threatened to cut me into pieces." Ukshini's story of mistreatment at the hands of American soldiers is being echoed by other ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, who tell of beatings, inappropriate body searches of women and daily harassment by U.S. troops. The allegations come at a time of heightened concern following the rape and murder of an 11-year-old ethnic Albanian girl. U.S. Staff Sgt. Frank J. Ronghi, a weapons squad leader from Fort Bragg, N.C., was charged this month with murder and indecent acts with a child in connection with her death. Ethnic Albanians say the killing is not their only complaint against the Americans. Their allegations have prompted an official Army investigation and threaten a breakdown in trust between the U.S. peacekeepers and the citizens they were sent to protect. U.S. officials declined to discuss specific allegations because many of the complaints are under investigation. But the Army acknowledges it has a big problem with community relations in Kosovo. "These are serious allegations that we do take seriously," Maj. Erik Gunhus, a public affairs officer at Camp Bondsteel, told The Associated Press. "We will investigate and if we find they are true, we will act accordingly. We want to show that no one is above the law." In a statement issued Sunday, the Army said preliminary findings indicate several U.S. soldiers may have been involved in misconduct, "including improper use of physical force and threats against Kosovar males and inappropriate physical contact with Kosovar females." Gunhus confirmed several soldiers have been transferred out of Vitina in connection with the investigation. Still, Ukshini and other Vitina residents are skeptical. "I wouldn't complain to KFOR because it does no good," Ukshini said, using the acronym for the NATO-led peacekeeping force that entered Kosovo in June after a 78-day bombing campaign forced a halt to Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's crackdown on ethnic Albanians. "Every time we went to complain, they told us: 'It's not true. Our soldiers don't behave like that,'" said Ramiz Hasani, 21, whose father, Xhauit, has been detained by the Americans in the killing of a Macedonian policeman. Hasani said American soldiers have entered his father's restaurant several times in the past two months and harassed customers for no apparent reason. Asked about the allegations, Defense Secretary William Cohen said he cannot comment on specific cases. But he said U.S. and NATO forces are doing police work in Kosovo only because there are not yet enough civilian police available. He emphasized the need for more police. "We have long stated the position that the United States and our NATO forces can carry out a military operation quite successfully, but they are not for the most part there are some exceptions trained to carry out police work," Cohen said. "They are not trained for that, they are not competent really to carry out police work, nor should they be doing it." Daut Xhemajli, president of the Vitina Municipal Board, says relations between the Americans and ethnic Albanians in this farming town 45 miles southeast of Pristina have become strained. He blames the Americans. "One night they randomly entered a bar and started shouting at the customers, 'What are you going to burn next?' and 'Who are you going to kill now?'" he said. "They were treating all of the customers as criminals." Contributing to the problem, Xhemajli said, is the fact that civilians have no avenue for lodging official complaints about the soldiers. "There is no facility or a civilian institution where citizens could file a complaint against KFOR," he said. As a result, many ethnic Albanians say they try to avoid contact with the Americans. This is particularly true of women, who have complained of body searches by male soldiers. Zijavere Azizi, 24, said she was walking in the center of town with a friend several weeks ago when four soldiers stopped the pair and started searching them without explanation. "One of the men grabbed my arm and another grabbed my friend and pushed him against the concrete wall," she said. "They took everything out of my pockets and put their hands in my pockets, all of my pockets." "Normally, I don't allow somebody to touch me all over my body, but I couldn't do anything," she added. Since then, Azizi said she has left her home only when absolutely necessary. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who

State of the Union: Senator Helms Does Speak for More Americans on U.S.
Sovereignty than Clinton, Albright or the UN
(Washington, D.C.): Every one in a while, some good comes from even the most
shameless acts of self-promotion. Last week, UN Ambassador Richard Holbrooke
sought to endear himself to the powerful Chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) by inviting the latter to make
an unprecedented address to the Security Council. (Holbrooke has made no secret
of his ambition to become President Gore's Secretary of State and clearly hopes
to avoid the kind of embarrassing delays in consideration of his nomination
that held up his present appointment for a year.)
Senator Helms used the occasion to provide the most eloquent and authoritative
description in recent memory of traditional American principles and popular sentiments
concerning U.S. sovereignty. He explained to the variou
s national permanent representatives present that the United Nations has a useful,
although limited, role to play in such areas as "peacekeeping, weapons inspections,
and humanitarian relief." The Senator warned, however,
that the UN disregarded, trampled or otherwise encroached upon this nation's
constitutional checks and balances and other sovereign processes at grave peril to its
support from the American public -- and the financial un
derwriting and possibly even the participation of their government.
So forceful were Senator Helms words (highlights of which are excerpted below), that
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright felt obliged on 24 January to repudiate his
remarks and challenge his characterization of the atti
tudes of the American people. She intoned that "the Clinton Administration...believes
that most Americans see our role in the world and our relationship to this
organization quite differently than does Senator Helms."
Mrs. Albright then underscored the disdain this Administration has repeatedly
exhibited toward the legislative branch, notably last year when -- after a majority of
the U.S. Senate rejected the Comprehensive Test Ban Trea
ty -- she and other spokesmen declared the vote made no difference, the U.S. remained
bound by the CTBT's prohibitions on nuclear testing. On Monday, the Secretary of State
averred: "Only the President and the executive b
ranch speak for the United States."
Tonight, when the President speaks for and to the United States about the State of the
Union, it will be interesting to hear with precisely which of the following of Senator
Helm's points he disagrees.
19 January 2000
Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC)
Speech to the United Nations Security Council
It's my hope that there can begin today a pattern of understanding and friendship
between you who serve your respective countries in the United Nations, and those of us
who serve not only in the United States government,
but also the millions of Americans whom we represent.

...It may very well be that some of the things that I feel obliged to say will not
meet with your immediate approval, if ever.

...I'm not a diplomat, and as such, I'm not fully conversant with the elegant and
rarefied language of the diplomatic trade. I'm an elected official with something of a
reputation for saying what I mean and meaning what I
say. So I trust you will forgive me if I come across a little bit more blunt than you
are accustomed to hearing in this chamber.
* * *
Let me share with you what the American people tell me. Since I became chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, I have received literally thousands of communications
from Americans all across the country expressing th
eir deep frustration with this institution.
They know instinctively that the U.N. lives and breathes on the hard-earned money of
the American taxpayers, among others, yet they have heard comments here in New York
constantly calling the United States a "deadbeat nat
ion." I dissent from that, and so do the American people.
They have heard U.N. officials declaring, absurdly, that countries like Fiji and
Bangladesh are carrying America's burden in peacekeeping.
They see the majority of the U.N. members routinely voting against America in the
General Assembly.
They have read the reports of the raucous cheering of the U.N. delegates in Rome when
U.S. efforts to amend the International Criminal Court Treaty to protect American
soldiers were defeated.
They read in the newspapers that despite all the human rights abuses taking place in
dictatorships around the globe, a U.N. special rapporteur
[CTRL] Reno's $2 million 'private' spy
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! -- -- Reno's $2 million 'private' spy -- -- Your federal government funded a paranoid, conspiracy-minded activist to the tune of $2 million last year to, among other things, spy on little old me. This self-proclaimed "militia watchdog" is Mark Pitcavage of Columbus, Ohio. He's a one-man clearinghouse whose work on behalf of Janet Reno's Justice Department includes trashing those investigating the Waco massacre. He boasts on his website of being research director for the State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training program, funded through the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Assistance through the Institute for Intergovernmental Research. A recent e-mail from Pitcavage sent in response to an inquiry about the ownership of WorldNetDaily illustrates that this quasi-government snoop dispenses more opinion and innuendo than facts. "I don't know who 'owns' them (WorldNetDaily)," he writes, "but they do have a clear agenda. They are an ultraconservative conspiracy-oriented (and, needless to say, anti-government) 'news agency.' I put that last in quotes because they attempt to make themselves seem like a respectable news agency, but their stories are generally the same old conspiracy theories and similar dead horses (land grabs, U.N. power, military urban exercises, Bill Clinton is evil, etc.) that have been trotted out before. The difference is money, which allows them to have paid, full-time journalists, and of course the Internet, which gives them a veneer of respectability." Mark Pitcavage, self-proclaimed "militia watchdog" There's more, but let's just dissect this distortion from a man who calls himself a "historian." * On our "clear agenda": WorldNetDaily has never disguised its agenda. It is to recapture a journalistic principle once widely accepted in America - that the principal role of a free press in a free society is to serve as a watchdog on government. That's it. Simple, straightforward and wholly in line with what reporters and editors routinely accepted as their mission for 200 years in America. * On the term "ultra-conservative": I'm the editor and founder of WorldNetDaily. I don't belong to any political movement or party. I have publicly disavowed and rejected the label "conservative." I have repeatedly warned that the biggest political threat facing America today is fascism. I have brought together into the WorldNetDaily fold a broad range of political commentators and analysts and have been pilloried for doing so by many conservatives. * On the term "conspiracy-oriented": I find it interesting that the targets of WorldNetDaily's investigative reports often resort to using this characterization as their sole line of defense. They don't pick apart our reporting. They don't cite inaccuracies. They don't deal in specifics. Instead, they use broad strokes to discredit the one news agency in the world that uses responsible journalistic techniques to carry out the most traditional, honorable and noble work being done in our profession today. That's what Pitcavage does. And he learned the trick from his masters in this administration - Hillary Clinton to name names. * On our money: We made it the old-fashioned way. We earned it - in the marketplace of ideas as a content provider in a revolutionary new medium known as the Internet. We don't have the government funding us. Got a problem with that, pal? Jealous? Pitcavage continues: "WorldNet has, however, proven invaluable for the 'patriot' movement, as it has provided a news source for all sorts of patriot newsletters and magazines to glom material from; as a result, its stories are very widely distributed and something that WorldNet puts out can run through the entire patriot community in really no time at all. Sometimes they even get picked up by what one would normally consider mainstream venues." Now who's the conspiracy-monger? This is the same old, tired, "vast right-wing conspiracy" described by Hillary Clinton years ago and discussed in detail in the White House playbook, "The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce" back in 1995-96. They're still peddling the lies. They're still calling the kettle black. They're still using taxpayer money to keep dossiers and government force to target "enemies." Pitcavage is small potatoes.

He should be defunded.

TURKISH MINISTER PROPOSES NEW "TURKISH COMMONWEALTH"
"Ottoman Empire Successor" is Threatening for Armenia
ROME, JAN 23 (ZENIT).- Russia no longer has the strength to oppose a united Turkish
Commonwealth, according to the Turkish Minister for relations with Turkish republics
of the former Soviet Union. He proposed a Turkish Co
mmonwealth uniting Turkey, "the Ottoman Empire successor," Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan,
Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan.
Minister Abdulhaluk Cei continued by saying he hoped the Commonwealth would also
include Slavic Ukraine and Islamic Iran in the Commonwealth, as well. "We, the Ottoman
Empire, ruled these territories for centuries," the m
inister said on January 19.
According to the Russian independent newspaper "Nezavisimaya Gazeta," higher
government officials will likely not openly support Cei's proposal. However, Ismail
Jem, Turkish Foreign Minister, indicated on December 31 that
Turkey's priorities for foreign policy are the Caucasus and Central Asia. Afterwards,
President Demirel said that Turkey should become the leading country of the region,
fighting for peace, stability, and economic prospe
rity of all other countries in their region of the world.
The Russian newspaper also pointed out the first likely victim of such a
"Turkish Commonwealth" -- the country of Armenia. Already at the beginning of
the 20th century, the Turks carried out a holocaust against the Armenians of
proportions unseen until the Nazis. The current country of Armenia and its
Christian population would find itself cut off and surrounded by a league of
Turkish and Islamic states.

[CTRL] Yes, I'll have the measles 'n' surf 'n' turf...And make it snappy!
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Friday January 28 2:45 AM ET Australia Scientists Plan Measles-Modified Food By Wendy Pugh MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australian scientists are researching putting a measles gene into genetically modified food to provide an alternative to traditional vaccination against the virus. Alfred Hospital infectious disease unit director Stephen Wesselingh said a research team had successfully created measles modified tobacco and was now putting the gene into lettuce. ``We started with tobacco just because it is very easy to work with and grows quickly, and we mashed up the leaves and fed them to mice. Now we are moving into lettuce and rice,'' he told Reuters. ``We have been working on it for the past two or three years and we have been getting positive results for the last six months or so.'' Wesselingh said the research by the Alfred team and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) would provide a cheaper vaccine, that avoided using needles and which didn't need to be kept at cold temperatures. ``That is not a problem in Australia, but in the countries where measles is a big problem, in Africa etc, keeping the vaccine cold can sometimes be a major difficulty,'' he said. The researchers are looking to use crops where existing genetically modified organism research has already been successfully conducted. Wesselingh said in the tobacco experiments the H protein of the measles virus was placed in the plant. ``The plant is then making all its normal leaves and things, but it is also making this extra protein,'' he said. ``When we feed the leaves of that plant to mice, those mice then develop antibodies against the H protein, which is part of the measles virus so those antibodies then protect against measles as well.'' Rice Offers Potential Wesselingh said rice offered great potential as the measles vaccination could be used in rice flour milk produced for children who are not covered by the current measles vaccination. Release of measles modified food was still a ``long way down the track,'' he said, with trials in people likely to start sometime in the next five years. Wesselingh said the modified food would be treated as a medical product and would not be available for mass consumption. ``These crops wouldn't be generally released. You would make them in special areas and then distribute them in the same way you would distribute other vaccines,'' he said. ``I think that would allay a lot of the GM-type fears.'' Similar research has also been conducted in the United States for hepatitis B and cholera and the Melbourne-based team is starting to look at genetic modification for the HIV virus, which can lead to AIDS. Wesselingh said the Melbourne research had focused on measles as it was still a major health problem in the developing world. ``About a million children still die of measles each year and most of those are under the age of one and the current vaccine doesn't work in very young children,'' he said. ``We felt that an oral vaccine that could work in very young children might be a way to arrest that problem.''

Re: [CTRL] Clinton pushes national gun ID card

Let's hope Congess has nough sense to leave this potential hotbed made up, and to not sleep in it. -Original Message- From: Bill Richer [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 28, 2000 5:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:[CTRL] Clinton pushes national gun ID card -Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Clinton pushes national gun ID card Announcement takes 2nd Amendment groups by surprise -- -- By David M. Bresnahan ? 2000 WorldNetDaily.com President Bill Clinton shocked gun owners throughout the nation last night when he proposed that all citizens be licensed by the government before they can purchase a handgun. "Every state in this country already requires hunters and automobile drivers to have a license. I think they ought to do the same thing for handgun purchases," Clinton said. "I hope you'll help me pass that in this Congress." The proposal, part of the president's State of the Union agenda, would add to the required Brady background check now in force the requirement that adults wishing to purchase a firearm first take a special training course, and then be issued a gun license before they could purchase a firearm. The photo I.D. would be issued by states under the federally mandated program, according to a White House source. In the event a state does not agree to participate in the program, a federal gun license would be made available in that state. President Clinton last night, asking Congress to approve national photo IDs for purchasing guns. Federally licensed gun dealers would be required by the proposed law to check for the gun license before selling handguns. Asked if the proposed gun license would later expand to all types of firearms, the White House source said it was a "natural progression." The proposal came as a total surprise to officials of the National Rifle Association and the Gun Owners of America. In his speech, the President spoke of the death of Daniel Mauser, 15, in the Columbine High School shooting last year. His father, Tom Mauser, was sitting on the Democrat side of the aisle when he was introduced. ``Crime in America has dropped for the past seven years, the longest decline on record, thanks to a national consensus we helped forge on community police, sensible gun control, and effective prevention,'' Clinton said. ``But nobody believes America is safe enough. So let's set a higher goal: Let's make America the safest big country in the world." Regarding Clinton's use of Mauser in the audience, Gun Owners of America Executive Director Larry Pratt told WorldNetDaily, "It's become a dog and pony show." Pratt said he received an emotional call from Mauser after he recently appeared on a television show. He accused Mauser of expressing hatred for guns and gun owners, and of being unwilling to listen to facts. "If the Republicans show some moxie for a change, the Democrats will have hung themselves," said Pratt, who spoke with WorldNetDaily while watching the speech from his home. "This is the kind of thing that lost them control of the Congress in 1994," said Pratt. "To volunteer to bring it up in a campaign year, Clinton must be very sure of himself that 'reasonable gun safety' is a way that he can talk about gun control [while] preparing for confiscation. That's what this is, by the way, the preparation for confiscation, which we've seen in New York already. We've seen it in California," said Pratt. Clinton recently initiated a campaign that promotes fighting crime as well as gun safety issues. The National Rifle Association, in a recent statement about the campaign, said the organization remains skeptical regarding Clinton's real desire to fight crime. NRA Institute for Legislative Action executive director James Jay Baker commented, "I'm glad that the president has finally agreed with the NRA that enforcing federal firearms laws makes sense. We've been pushing for more enforcement of existing laws, and it's unfortunate that it took him until the seventh year of his term to finally take that seriously." However, Baker cautioned, "The president has proved adept at changing his position. When we see the detailed budget, we'll know if he has truly changed." The statement added an expectation that Clinton would not "temper his anti-gun zeal." An NRA spokesman, Brian Judy, was caught by surprise when WorldNetDaily informed him of the gun-licensing plan shortly before the State of the Union address began, and could not offer an official comment. After the speech, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said, "What's it going to solve? The criminals could care less. They're not going to stand in line; they won't comply with it." Vice

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- "He blames the Americans ..." Well, as I research my recollection for the specificity of the factual information, the Albanians refused to participate in their own government (and still do, remaining as part of Yugoslavia) and, therefore, caused a lot of their own problems, INCLUDING being occupied by a bunch of ferriners. We never no way can not excuse inappropriate behaviour by the soldiers, if the reports are accurate. And, we do not necessarily blame them for being a little edgy. After all, they're in a largely lawless land (unless one accepts the various nationalities of 'mafiosi' as the "Law"), babysitting a large number of presumably adult people who apparently can't otherwise settle their own differences withOUT the Americans, nor the French, nor the Germans, and nor the Russians, and all the rest, nor have they been able to do so for about 700 years (just ask the Turks). And it's wintertime and they're away from home and family doing this little 'police action'. And they know the score on the ground better than anyone else. I submit that the American soldiers have a little Albanian/Kosovarian gripe. And so might the French and the Germans and the Russians and all the rest have their own little gripe. I have a gripe: why am I devoting any of my tax money and time via potential re-entry into military service to quell a 700 year-old civil dispute? Why am I devoting $$$ and thoughts toward former comrades in arms for a bunch of people who bugged out of their own country to make way for Christiane Amanpour and her ilk becoming the voice of the 'underdogs', the spinners of tall tales and sensational evening news? Why did they not, instead, stay home and participate in their own country's affairs and solve their own internal, sovereign disputes withOUT outside interference? Are they better off now that they've gotten cruise missiled, bomblet-ed, sent back a half century or so in civilisation? Solution? Pull our men women OUT of the quagmire and let 'em Kosovarians deal with their own problems of their own making. They made it through the Ottomans and Tito and Stalin, they can make it again (just takes a little effort). Once more: no excuses for untoward behaviour but having to be concerned about every shadow and every breaking twig is enough to blur any sense of reasonable or standard conduct.

[CTRL] Prozac...The Truth????
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Prozac - The Truth Hidden Truth Exposed http://www.prozactruth.com/fdalilly.htm 1-28-2000 The following information has been gathered through the Freedom Of Information Act Prozac was allowed on the US market 12-29-1987. What happened shortly before and after 12-29-1987 regarding Prozac, Lilly and the FDA is where The Hidden Truth comes out. We do not use undisclosed sources. The information disclosed is all a Public Record, it has just been obscured from the public by the interested parties mentioned in this article. 1982 - The Beginning David Dunner of the University of Washington begins receiving money that will total over $1.4 million dollars from Lilly for his research and seminars. Dunner was part of the FDA's Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee that is responsible for reviewing new drug applications brought before the FDA. These members are asked if they might have any conflict of interest with each Pharmaceutical Manufacture presenting new drugs before The Committee. Dunner responded to this question by stating "no pending commitments at the present time". The FDA accepted his answer as truthful. Dunner had already been paid by Lilly for conducting a clinical trial on 100 people. Prozac was the drug used on his clinical trials. Dunner had already given 5 seminars sponsored by Lilly (Prozac Manufacture) before this date. He failed to bring this to the committees attention. The seminars were regarding "depressive disorders." Dunner also failed to disclose that he had two additional seminars already booked for him by Lilly that would take place after Prozac was approved. Dunner appeared in Pittsburg 1 day after Prozac was approved conducting a seminar on Prozac, while being paid by Lilly. Dunner received another Lilly grant 5 days after Prozac was approved to conduct a new study on the effects of Prozac on sleep patterns. 1985 Lilly conducted test on Prozac and found the drug not to be significantly more effective than the placebo, an FDA statistician suggested to Lilly that the test results be evaluated differently causing the results to come out more favorable for Prozac. 1985 Guidelines constructed by Lilly for the clinical trials excluded the reporting of "adverse experiences caused by depression". The FDA admits this skewed the results. 1986 Medical Doctor for the FDA Richard Kapit gives this review of Prozac "Prozac may exacerbate certain depressive symptoms and signs. Certain clinical risks of mild to moderate severity did appear to be associated with the use of Prozac, as determined by review of the safety data in the New Drug Application submission. These potential risks include intensification of the vegetative signs and symptoms of depression. It is suggested that labeling be developed which advises physicians about the possible exacerbation of the vegetative manifestations of depressive illness. If the drug is marketed, post-marketing studies should be required to assess more precisely the severity of these potential risks." The FDA safety review discovered that Lilly failed to report information about psychotic episodes during Prozac's testing. The FDA did nothing to reprimand Lilly for omitting this data. 1987 Two months before Prozac was approved for the market there had already been 27 deaths from controlled clinical trials. 15 were from suicides, 6 by overdose, 4 by gunshot and 2 by drowning. All were confirmed to be directly related to taking Prozac. An additional 12 deaths were reported but, could not be directly related to Prozac. 1991 Shortly before a hearing on Prozac in August 1991 an FDA executive Paul Leber noted his concern about "the large number of reports of all kinds on Prozac (more than 15,000)". Paul Leber pressured personnel in charge of the agency's adverse reporting system to discount the large number of reports of adverse reactions to Prozac as "of Limited value". 1992 By 1992 Prozac has had 28,600 adverse reactions reported to the FDA. Plus an additional 1,700 deaths. The Commissioner of the FDA, David Kessler states "Although the FDA receives many adverse event reports, these probably represent only a fraction of the serious adverse events encountered by providers. Only about one percent of the serious events are reported to the FDA, according to one study". Let us look at the math regarding the above statement. 28,600 reported adverse reactions - equates to 2,860,000 adverse reactions if Commissioner David Kessler's study is correct.

[CTRL] Prohibition losing ground - as in acreage of crop land
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Minnesota and Hawaii have already passed legislation decriminalizing the agricultural crop cannabis sativa L. (Hemp) South Dakota, Georgia, and Kentucky have strong support for doing so in the very near future. The original prohibition of Hemp as a crop was cleverly and deceptively orchestrated with the prohibition, for entirely different reasons- of Marijuana, the psychoactive cousin of Hemp. The prohibition of Marijuana serves the interests of drug-pushers and smugglers, in that the criminalization of a relatively mild, non-toxic, and easy to grow causes it to become very expensive instead of nearly free (as in home-grown) -- both of which cause it to come under control of the drug-pushers and smugglers, and also makes it less competitive against the more highly addicting Cocaine and Heroin - the favored cash crops of the smugglers. Prohibition of Hemp serves another less-covert branch of the elite capital economy - the energy (big Oil) and fiber industries ( Logging, plastics, other synthetic fiber). The success in breaking this prohibition at the local and state level is gathering momentum, and as it does so - spells the coming end of the insane concept of a "War on Drugs" - which has cost our nation so much in terms of the burgeoning prison/industrial complex, the Billions$$ spent each year on programs which have so far INCREASED drug use for the past umpteen years of "drugwar" - and the use of political rhetoric mainstream media of false portrayals of "drugwar" in order to cover up the Hundreds of Billion $$ in profit taken by the CIA connected "covert-ops" responsible for the majority of U.S. illegal drug importation/smuggling. http://www.asheville-computer.com/issues/Elkhorn_Manifesto.html http://www.drugwar.com/ http://www.wackybaccy.com/untoldstory/untoldstory.html http://www.dcia.com http://copvcia.com Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave http://www.asheville-computer.com/issues/ ARTICLE: Hemp Advocates Assail U.S. Report--Availability Would Expand Market, Supporters Claim AUTHOR: Joe Ward, The Louisville Courier-Journal, KY DATE: Friday, 28 January 2000, at 3:25 p.m. "Weve developed a good market for the fiber in a range of products," said Geof Kime, president of Hempline Ltd., a Delaware, Ontario, hemp processor. He said uses include composite products for the automotive industry, such as pressed door panels. Pubdate: January 26, 2000 Kentucky advocates of industrial hemp, and their supporters elsewhere, charged yesterday that a government report that sees little economic future for marijuanas non psychoactive cousin misses the point. The report, released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday, said there would only be a "small, thin market for hemp products in the United States if growing the crop were legalized, and that all of the hemp fiber, yarn and fabric that the nation imports could be grown on less than 2,000 acres. But Joe Hickey, executive director of the Kentucky Hemp Growers Cooperative Association in Lexington, said a market for hemp products would grow in Kentucky if the versatile fiber and seeds from hemp were readily and reliably available. In any case, Hickey said, the report mentions only textile uses of hemp - which amount to only about 5 percent of hemp products produced in Canada, where markets are developing. "Textiles is just the tip of the iceberg," Hickey said. Hemp, once Kentuckys leading cash crop, was outlawed in the 1930s because it is genetically identical to the plant that produces marijuana. Unlike marijuana, though, industrial hemp is grown for long stalks and not for the leafy characteristics that produce the psychoactive ingredient THC sought by -pot smokers. Drug enforcement officials concede that hemp doesn't have enough of that ingredient to make it a problem, but they continue to oppose it on grounds that its cultivation would make the job of controlling marijuana difficult if not impossible. However, farmers across the country, struggling in a sagging farm economy, have become more interested in looking at the possibilities offered by hemp, and 21 states have looked at legislation to permit its growth on an experimental basis or at resolutions supporting such cultivation. Canadian farmers fought and won the battle against a negative law-enforcement attitude several years ago and have been growing hemp commercially for two years. "We've developed a good market for the fiber in a range of products," said Geof Kime, president of Hempline Ltd., a Delaware, Ontario, hemp processor. He said uses include composite products for the automotive industry, such as pressed door panels. "In fact," said Jean Laprise, a Chatham, Ontario, farmer who also is involved in a processing company, "we've developed some markets in the U.S." He said Americans might look in Ford

On February 8th 2000, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is holding a meeting on "the Role of Business Partnership in Promoting Trade and Sustainable Development" to promote biotechnology as Organic.Please send letters the UNDP chief in the US and the resident representative of UNDP in India to scrap this meeting and hold a meeting on sustainable agriculture and organic farming in association with full participation of the Agriculture Ministry and of the organic agriculture movements in India. I enclose an Alert which you can circulate among your friends.

This attempt to sell Genetically Engineered (G. E.) as organic had earlier been used in USA, but failed due to the protests by thousands of organic farmers and consumers. The fact that organic is being used as a Trojan Horse to launch G. E. products in India is evident from the total absence of the organic farming movement in the UNDP programme. In fact even the Agriculture Ministry is missing from the programme. Instead, it is officials of the Commerce Ministry who will be dealing with organic farming. Representatives of Mahyco, the Indian seed company bought up by the US Biotech company Monsanto, through whom Monsanto plans to launch its G.E. products in India, will be playing a leading role in the public private partnership. While last year Monsanto was visible and aggresive imarekting G.E. crops in India, it now operates in biotech debates using MAHYCO using as a shield. Indian farmers organisation had uprooted Monsanto's G.E. field trials in December 1998. The Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, New Delhi, has also filed a case in the Indian Supreme Court to stop the field trials since they violate Biosafety regulations at every level. Since the global biotechnology industry is facing popular resistance in India, an attempt is being made to launch biotechnology via the public sector and as an organic option. We are concerned that instead of promoting genuine organic agriculture and biosafety, the UNDP is helping the biotech industry by confusing G.E. as organic and use the public sector to launch G.E. products. This is an attempt to hijack the organic label for the biotech industry. While using organic as a Trojan Horse, the unleashing of G.E. products in India will undermine organic agriculture by creating genetic pollution. This is yet another attempt by the biotech industry interests to undo the Biosafety Protocol negotiations currently underway in Montreal, and to reduce all biotech discussion to trade by taking them to WTO. This attempt to take Biotech to WTO was made at Seattle but failed because of protests by citizens, Third World countries and European Environment Ministers. We want organic to stay organic and be kept totally separate from G.E. We want the public sector to play a public role in working with farmers to evolve farmers' varieties of the desired crops that India grows and needs so that our biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and diverse food systems can be kept alive.

[CTRL] Naked with Aliens
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- - Original Message - From: Mike Farrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2000 12:01 PM Subject: "naked with aliens" Hmm no wonder they have big eyes..the pervs. Peter The Keith Basterfield Network Australasia - http://www.powerup.com.au/~tkbnetw/new __ PATTERNS OF UFO ABDUCTIONS, PART 1 By Budd Hopkins Anyone familiar with the subject is aware that UFO abduction reports almost always include accounts of physical examinations performed inside the craft. The abductee usually lies naked and immobile on a flat table while one or more of a wide variety of physical operations are carried out. There is, however, one virtually universal detail in these procedures that has never, to my knowledge, been commented upon in the literature: the abductee never seems to feel any degree of shame or embarrassment about his or her nudity. One woman told me that during an abduction in her very early adolescence - usually a time of great shyness and confusion about one's body - she felt no more concern about her nakedness in the occupants' presence than she would have felt in the presence of her cat or her tropical fish. This fact is even more surprising when one considers the many accounts in which several humans - sometimes strangers to one another - are naked together in the same craft. The woman in my example had been abducted along with an older brother and a younger sister; all three were nude yet none seemed to feel anything at all about their shared and vulnerable cond Fear of the UFO occupants alone does not explain this surprising, even unnatural reaction. There are a number of photos of Nazi concentration camp victims who, after having been taken from their inhuman cattle-car transport, were ordered to strip. The photographs reveal that even under these circumstances these sad, weak, doomed men, women and children still instinctively attempted to cover their nudity with their hands and arms. But with UFO abductees something else, some kind of tranquilizing factor, seems to be at work. One can speculate that the abductees' calmness about their nakedness results from a combination of quasi-hypnotic trance states, endemic to the abduction process, and simple conditioning. If one has been abducted regularly since early childhood and has each time been undressed throughout the experience, one may come to expect it as a norm. A male abductee once put it to me this way: "That's just the way it is. Your never have your clothes on. You don't even think about it." What insights can we derive from the abductees' oddly neutral reaction to their state of nakedness, a state apparently devoid of any sexual overtones or embarrassment? First of all, the consistent appearance of this unexpected detail virtually destroys a basic argument invented by UFO debunkers. Many psychological theorists, both professional and amateur, have attempted to explain away all UFO abduction reports as fantasies of one kind or another. The most popular current version of this theory has it that people invent these accounts to mask such disturbing events as childhood sexual abuse, incest, molestation at the hands of doctors, nurses or baby sitters, or rape experiences. Other theorists posit a questionable borderline abductee type which they call, grandiloquently, the "fantasy-prone personality," while still others simply insist that these accounts are nothing more than disturbing dreams. If any of these theoretical "explanations" were true for even half the UFO accounts that have been carefully investigated so far, one would expect to find strong erotic overtones or outright shame and embarrassment described by literally hundreds of abductees as they recall their naked condition. IF an abductee account is nothing more than a fantasy masking a rape or childhood seduction or molestation, the circumstances of undressing or being forcibly undressed should provide key traumatic moments in these narratives. Such, however, is not the case. The near-universality of this detail not only eliminates any blanket psychological "explanation" of UFO abduction accounts, but it also argues for the hard-edged, precise reality of this bizarre phenomenon. These consistent reports of totally unexpected, non-emotional reactions to enforced nudity clearly provide powerful psychological evidence that thousands of people have undergone the same externally-caused, trance-like experience - abduction, control and examination by non-human UFO occupants. __ PATTERNS OF UFO ABDUCTIONS, PART 2 By Budd Hopkins For centuries, thoughts about our anatomy have centered on one organ above all others -- the human heart.

1.28.00 'Anti-Giuliani' artists' criminal trial on 1/31/00 We support Lederman, Masco, and many of the other talented artists, craftspersons, and others who ply their wares on the streets of cities. These people have been subject to severe and relentless harassment, discrimination and worse by the Giuliani administration, NYC Councilwoman Freed, and many of Giuliani's hired goons and hitmen in the NYPD. A number of people have compared Giuliani to Hitler, a comparison which comes off as a little extreme, even by our standards. Who Giuliani really DOES remind us of though, is the fascist dictator who held power in Italy concurrently to Hitler's reign, namely Benito Mussolini. Just as with Mussolini, who to THIS day apologists for fascism STILL claim wasn't really ALL that bad--as he made Italy's trains run on time, Giuliani is credited even by some otherwise halfway-intelligent, coherent New Yorkers with having made the city "work" again, gotten the all the bums off the streets (what about all the REAL bums in his administration?!), and things like that. Well gee, if a few Diallos and Orthodox Jews at prayer like Bernard Basch get slaughtered in the crossfire, "WHO'S TO WORRY" eh? Not Rudy, that's for sure. As someone who grew up in N.Y. AND made a living as a musician and journalist--albeit not (usually) on the streets--I just wanna say: Giuliani, shove it where the sun don't shine, you lousy punk!

According to both the judge and the DA's office this trial will definitely begin on Monday. The defendants are charged with Attempted Making of Graffiti 145.60 and Possession of Graffiti Instruments 145.65 a class A and a class B misdemeanor. They are represented by Donna Klett, Legal Aid Society (212) 298-5203. The activist-artists were arrested on 4/7/97 after allegedly posting political leaflets on lightpoles in the SoHo area which criticized Mayor Giuliani's artist arrest policy and City Council Member Kathryn Freed and her group the SoHo Alliance for their efforts to eliminate street artists. Both defendants were plaintiffs in a successful Federal civil rights lawsuit decided in June of 1997 [See: http://www.openair.org/alerts/artist/nyc.html] that made it legal to sell art on New York City streets without a license and which declared the City to have deliberately violated plaintiffs' and other artists First Amendment rights. Lederman and Masco, who between them have been arrested more than 60 times for their political activities during the Giuliani administration, are also plaintiffs in a number of other civil rights suits still pending against Mayor Giuliani and the City of New York and have been longtime opponents of both the Mayor and Council Member Freed. The law under which the two were charged makes it illegal for anyone to post leaflets on City property, however, the Mayor, City Council Members, their staffs and Community Board members are exempted from the law. As a result, while the posting of leaflets by political activists, bands, artists and the owners of lost dogs have become rare in SoHo there's been a tremendous proliferation of leaflets posted by Council Member Freed and the SoHo Alliance, a Freed front group whose director Sean Sweeney is one of Freed's Community Board 2 appointees. Most of those leaflets are directed at drumming up community support for eliminating or preventing the introduction of bars, hotels, clubs, street artists, vendors, trucks, Asian food wholesalers, an AIDs hostel, student housing and other elements the Alliance considers "undesirable" in SoHo. The case scheduled for trial on 1/31 is unusual for a number of reasons not least of which is that it's been in Criminal Court for three years. Initially, Lederman and Masco were also charged with Criminal Mischief in the 4th Degree and Unlawful Posting. Recently the DA's office reduced the original grafitti charge to Attempted Grafitti in order to deny the defendants a jury trial. The charges of Criminal Mischief in the 4th Degree and Unlawful Posting were eventually dropped and all of the arrest evidence in the case was suppressed by a hearing judge last year. That ruling was later overturned by another judge without holding a hearing or issuing a decision. The only remaining charges

Nicolson The Institute for Molecular Medicine, Huntington Beach, CA 92649 Meryl Nass Parkview Hospital, Brunswick, ME 04011 Nancy L. Nicolson The Institute for Molecular Medicine, Huntington Beach, CA 92649 In 1999 2.4 million U.S. Armed Forces personnel, including more than one million reserve and National Guard members, were ordered to receive anthrax vaccine over a period of several years. This was justified to counter an increasing threat from hostile countries and possibly terrorist groups that now or in the future will likely possess the capability of fielding weaponized anthrax spores as a Biological Weapon (BW). This decision has resulted in courts-martial and disciplinary hearings among U.S. Armed Forces personnel who have refused the anthrax vaccine on safety grounds. Are these individuals overreacting to misperceived risks from the anthrax vaccine that the military considers safe, or are there real safety concerns that should be considered? Bacillus anthracis as a BW Agent Bacillus anthracis is a relatively common spore-forming soil bacterium found rarely in the U.S. but more commonly in some areas of the world as an endogenous infectious agent. Bacillus anthracis infection can cause death within six days of exposure to a lethal dose, usually by inhalation of spores. To be effective as a BW agent a microorganism must be highly infectious, very pathogenic and stable in the air and environment for the period of time needed for dissemination and infection of large numbers of people. Spore-forming bacteria like Bacillus anthracis are ideal for this purpose. Spores are relatively inactive metabolically and are much more resistant to sunlight, heat, dryness and chemicals than the replicating microorganism. Weaponized versions of anthrax spores are more pathogenic and survive better than spores from native strains of Bacillus anthracis. It is estimated that as few as 50,000 weaponized anthrax spores can kill a human after inhalation and fewer can kill small primates. Although weaponized anthrax spores are probably the most easily manufactured BW weapon, they are only one of dozens of lethal and incapacitating (causing nonlethal sicknesses) BW agents that have been produced in large quantities suitable for BW deployment and tactical use. Bacillus anthracis is also one of the few BW agents for which a vaccine exists that is capable of preventing some (but not all) lethal infections. Although dozens of additional microbial candidates for BW have been produced in various quantities by several countries, such as bacteria (Clostridium botulinum, Brucella melitensis, Yersinia pestis, Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, Francisella tularensis, Coxiella burnetii, among others), toxins (ricin, aflatoxin, Clostridium botulinum toxin, Staphylococcal enterotoxin B toxin, tricothecene mycotoxins, etc.), viruses (Ebola, West Nile fever, Marburg, small pox, etc.) and miscellaneous BW (rickettsias, mycoplasmas, fungi, etc.), weaponized Bacillus anthracis is considered one of the greatest threats because of the ease of its production, storage and dissemination (spores) as a lethal BW agent. There are basically three methods to counter anthrax BW: active immunization, passive immunization and prophylactic antibiotics. Antibiotics have to be administered shortly before or after exposure, otherwise they wont be effective, and they cannot prevent a lethal infection once the Bacillus anthracis has produced signs of illness. Passive immunoprophylaxis requires quantities of immune sera or monoclonal antibodies not currently available, and their administration in a monitored, hospital setting. Active immunity using vaccines on the other hand can be administered years before exposure as long as immunity is maintained. Thus vaccines can be effective as long as there is enough immunity to neutralize the Bacillus anthracis before it starts rapidly replicating en masse from its inactive spore form and producing lethal toxins. From a practical standpoint, only antibiotics and vaccines can protect the large numbers of people who could be exposed in a BW attack, and antibiotics are more effective when the BW agent(s) and its(their) antibiotic sensitivity are identified so the appropriate antibiotic(s) can be used. Are anthrax vaccines then a reliable method of protecting against Bacillus anthracis BW? Not necessarily. Although vaccines can protect against accidental exposure of relatively small doses of anthrax

Immigration by people who are believed to be former Nazi families has occurred in my country, New Zealand, from the 1950s to the present day. Many were quite ordinary people in terms of special skills. I suspect inward immigation continued to be a high priority in the 1970s-80s, because I noticed one postwar-Nazi family member carefully becoming an immigration consultant around that time. My own belief is that the Vatican, after helping them get in to these countries, proceeded to use them as dirty tricks operatives. Being in hiding in a sense, they would have had no choice. I have even been wondering if maybe the ones that refused to cooperate were the ones that got sprung as Nazis, and prosecuted. It seems to me likely that some of these are the source of MC activities in New Zealand, but were set up, protected, and maybe directed in detail by the Roman Catholic church. The latter is the organisation that has achieved astonishingly rapid growth of power here in the last twenty years, despite comprising only 14% of the population and never achieving much of note before that. It seems Brooks Air Force Base near San Antonio, Texas has a library named after one of the former Nazis brought in under Paperclip or a similar operation called 63, who joined the US Air Force. This is the Hubertus Strughold Aeromedical Library. Dr Strughold was knowledgeable about low-pressure experiments on humans in concentration camps. I recommend an old issue of the US magazine Covert Action dated Winter 1986 for information on Nazi influence and helpers. Names like W R Grace (chemicals), U S Steel, and Allen Foster Dulles become interesting. As for Hitler's senior intelligence operative Reinhard Gehlen, it's interesting to note the St John gave him their highest honour, the Grand Cross, in 1948. The Order of St John, or the SMOM (Sovereign Military Order of Malta), is aka the "Sovereign Military and Hospitaler Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta". To understand its history a little, insert the words"thrown out" before "of" with each place-name, and then keep in mind that it helped put Hitler in power. SMOM is a rightwing Catholic organisation on a different tack from the Vatican but which has had diplomatic relations with it since 1928. It is headquartered at 44 Via Condotti in Rome, where it claims all the privileges of a sovereign state and issues its own passports. SMOM members have included a lot of US household names like Lee Iacocca and Alexander Haig.

[CTRL] 'Conspiracy Theories'
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Just passing this on guys. Contact Josh personally if you can help. Peter From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! My name is Josh Haydn. Thanks for letting me join your community. I know I'm a newbie but I need help. I have unconvered evidence of a conspiracy to mislead conspiracy theorists and I need your help. A book has just been published in the States (it has been available in the UK since September) that I have evidence was written by someone closely connected to military intelligence. It is either part of a conspiracy to put out a host of confusing information to encourage conspiracy theorists to pursue false leads or it is an attempt by someone who has been part of a conspiracy to reveal certain truths. Either way, I want fellow conspiracy theorists to help me put pressure on its author to come clean. The book is called 'Conspiracy Theories' (original title!) by David Southwell and Sean Twist and is published by Carlton. This is how I know one of its authors is not just a conspiracy researcher - please read the following and then help me get the truth out of him. I am a professional environmental campaigner and I come from the county of Essex in England. I first came across David Southwell when I was investigating possible low-level radiation pollution caused by a 1950s Magnox Nuclear Power Reactor on the north Essex coast. At first I took him as a potential ally because it appeared he was a local freelance journalist who was also looking at the issue. Aside from discovering that the local seabird guano was radioactive, I never got the evidence I needed to prove that there had been a series of contamination incidents at the plant which had been covered up, but during the course of my investigations I got to know Southwell fairly well. I moved around in my work as a professional environmental campaigner I didn't get back to Essex for a couple of years. When I did I noticed that Southwell had become features editor for a local group of newspapers. Meeting up with a local direct action green team, I suggested they may find some sympathy and coverage if they contacted David. Mick P, one of the team's old-hands was aghast at this suggestion. "Southwell has strong links with the military intelligence." Mick had worked out at Foulness Island - a top UK army weapons research centre based on an island off of the Essex coast - as an engineer on one of their missile testing programmes. He didn't know David personally, but had seen him numerous times in administration office going into the office suite in the block which was home to a small team of Mil-Int and Naval Sig-Int personnel who worked out of Foulness. Mick had become very suspicious of David when he found he was involved in the same UFO research group as Mick and had links with anarchist organisations. Something didn't add up. Was David a spy for the intelligence community, using his journalistic credentials to gain access to local anti-government and anti-military groups? Why would David and military/naval intelligence be interested in a local UFO group? Wary and even more cynical about the machinations of government and the circles within circles that turn the media, I thought nothing more about David Southwell until 1997. I was invited to a party to celebrate the release of some direct-green road protesters who had got a few months in prison for their involvement in a mini-riot (not reported in the press interestingly) against an East London road extension that ended up levelling a whole neighbourhood and concerning over one of East London's few bits of woodland. It was a good party, lots of beer, Jamaican woodbines and good old-fashioned punk music competing for turntable space with techno. I was gobsmacked when I saw Southwell there. As I'd had a few beers, I decided to challenge him. Although it was unlike me I ended up pushing him around a bit - at which point I was bundled outside and told I'd get the crap kicked out of me again if I tried doing that again. It seems that Southwell had some interesting friends in the anarchist/protestor community who were incredibly loyal to him as he had been their Black Hand 'social worker' when they had been in prison. Black Hand is an anarchist organisation dedicated to helping out protestors or anarchists in prison. I told the guys who had taken me outside what I knew about Southwell, but I don't think it sunk in with them. They only knew one side of Southwell. Later in 1997, I was co-ordinating international support for a Spain-based environmental campaign when I came into contact with the Estelle Negre anarchist organisation - a kind of collective of cultural terrorists, artists and political radicals - who challenge authority and the power of the media in a host of effective ways. Talking with one of its senior members, I mentioned I was from Essex who said: "You might know one of our members them who comes from Essex, David Southwell." My
[CTRL] Opium, Empire and the Global Political Economy - excerpts
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- an excerpt from: Opium, Empire and the Global Political Economy Carl A Trocki©1999 All rights reserved Routledge Taylor Francis Group London and New York ISBN 0-415-21500-5 208 pps. --First Edition -- In-Print - An Excellant book. If one cares to understand today, one must try and understand the past. --"Without opium, there would be no empire"-- --Opium was the tool of the capitalist classes in transforming the peasantry and in monetizing their subsistence lifestyles. Opium created pools of capital and fed the institutions that accumulated it: the banking and financial systems, the insurance systems and the transportation and information infrastructures. Those structures and that economy have, in large part, been inherited by the successor nations of the region today.-- Om K - Introduction This book re-examines the British Indian opium trade to China and Southeast Asia. In the past half-century, much research has been done and many books and articles have been written on various aspects of the opium trade. Outside of David E. Owen's account, written in the 1930s, there have been few studies which look at the entire commerce. It is one aim of this study to provide an overview of the opium trade that would include much of the more recent literature on opium, the opium trade and drugs in general. Beyond this, the study seeks in particular to probe the role of the drug trade in laying the foundation for European colonial structures in Asia, both economic and administrative. The intention is to place opium in the same context with other important commercial enterprises which were also based on drugs, or drug-like products, including tobacco, alcohol and tea. So far as I am aware, this has not really been done before. The study is informed by a number of assumptions about the relationship between drugs and human society. The first of these is that drugs are a "natural" part of human life. It recognizes that since human life evolved we have regularly made use of certain naturally occurring chemical substances for their mind- or mood-altering properties. Almost every human culture has found a place for some drug, including opium. Their use has often been associated with some sort of religious practice, social ritual, or spirit medicine, not to mention everyday physical medicine. Whether it has been opium, cannabis, coca, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, betel, kutch, or one of the many other vegetable products, human beings have regularly had recourse to some selection of them so as to "doctor" their bodies or their minds. Almost all of these substances can be considered, and have been placed, in the dangerous category. Inappropriate or excessive use of any of them may cause illness, physical or mental damage, addiction or even death. Most cultures have found ways to control the use of their native drugs, thus all human societies have their own "drug cultures." From a systemic point of view, I propose that drugs became social problems only when they were moved out of their "original" contexts to populations or nations which had not been habituated to their use, or when the availability, production or distribution of them was drastically changed. This, at least, is the historical process which I hope to demonstrate here. We have come to call such events "drug epidemics" or "drug plagues." They occur when a society is suddenly swept by a wave of use, and abuse, of' a newly introduced addictive drug. Large numbers of' people are affected and the phenomenon usually attracts considerable attention and comment from other sectors of society, who normally view it as a sign of social decay or even collapse. It is clear that many drugs are "dangerous." That is, they are poisons that call kill or at least seriously impair our health. Many possess the additional property of being addictive. Without being scientifically exact at this point, addiction can be defined as the process by which an individual develops a physiological or psychological dependence upon a chemical substance that is not otherwise a necessity of life. Addicts thus require a regular and often continually increasing supply of the substance. At some point where use of the drug becomes habitual, they usually suffer ill-health, loss of wealth, an apparent loss of "free will" and some even lose their lives. Drugs, nevertheless, offer psychological compensations and comforts that appear, at least for a time, to make all the ills they bring worthwhile. These attractions are so strong that today, despite fairly strict legal, moral and social sanctions, people are willing to risk fines, imprisonment and even execution to procure drugs for their own consumption or to supply them to others. It seems that there is one key ingredient necessary to create a true drug "epidemic." In addition to exotic introduction and changes in production, the commercialization of drug production, trade

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FAX RE: PANAMA--DRUGS--GOLD--WEAPONS--ELIAN--WAR This is the fax that WAS mentioned in the article about Sister Jeanne changing her mind about Elian. I have sent it to five sources. I have yet to hear back from two. The following is the fax--- it is followed by the replies from three sources. From Anonymous fax: 1. Panama will become hub of drug-money laundering 2. Drug laundering will be through gold 3. Government drug smugglers have traded in gold to launder their funds for years. Many of those huge metal trusts you talk about were drug money laundered through various countries. 4. China is behind turning Panama into the Drug-money laundering capitol of the world. They plan on taking over the drug business 5. The US took it away from England and France 6. The Bush family may be behind it... China becoming the number one in drugs... (NOW ... the most interesting information in light of what is in the news these daysnamely, Elian Gonzalez) The fax said ... If the INS kidnaps Elian... Cuba will be invaded by an already trained army of Cubans who have been financed by the drug trade. The fax said... Castro deals drugs, and his enemies do too. The way it works is this... Drugs are sold on the streets of the US for cash Cash is taken to Panama where gold is bought. Gold is taken to the United States or Italy where it is sold for currency. Currency is taken to China or Russia where arms are bought from the government with US dollars. The fax concluded with: The Elian thing is working up to a flash point. If anything happens to that kid or any of his family we could be in war with Cuba... or Little Havana. Don't forget those Puerto Ricans Clinton freed. Why do you think he did that? ** Response from a Source: 1. Panama will become hub of drug money laundering [IT ALREADY IS. THIS IS ALL TIED IN WITH USA GIVING AWAY THE PANAMA CANAL WITH CHINA TAKING OVER CONTROL.] 2. Drug laundering will be through gold [ TRUE, SINCE GOLD IS STILL THE CHOICE OF TRUE WEALTH.] 3. Government drug smugglers have traded in gold to launder their funds for years [ AGAIN TRUE] 4. China is behind this because they plan on taking over the drug business [THIS IS NO SURPRISE TO ANYONE WHO WAS IN INTEL. BUT THERE ARE VERY POWERFUL FAMILIES BEHIND CHINA'S BID TO CONTROL THE WORLDWIDE DRUG TRADE. CLINTON IS JUST A SHILL FOR THE REAL POWER BROKERS. THE ROCKEFELLERS ARE UP TO THEIR EYEBALLS IN THIS ONE.] 5. The US took it ( the drug trade) away from England and France [NOT REALLY AS THE ENGLISH AND DUTCH STILL CONTROL AMERICAN POLICIES THROUGH ALL THE PROXIES HERE IN AMERICA.] 6. The man suspected the Bushes may be behind it... China becoming the number one in drugs... [THE BUSHES HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE DRUG TRAFFIC FOR DECADES.] NOW ... the most interesting He said ... if the INS kidnaps Elian... Cuba will be invaded by an already trained army of Cubans who have been financed by the drug trade. [THIS WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME SINCE THE MAFIA HAS NEVER ACCEPTED LOSING THEIR CONTROL OF THE CASH COW KNOWN AS CUBA. AND THEY WANT IT BACK! ALSO CUBA WAS A GREAT PLACE TO LAUNDER MONEY.] Then he said... yes Castro deals drugs, and his enemies do too. [TRUE HOW DO YOU THINK CASTRO HAS HAD THE MONEY TO STAY IN POWER SINCE THE SOVIETS CUT BACK ON AID?] He said the way it works is this way... Drugs are sold on the streets of the US for cash [TRUE] Cash is taken to Panama where gold is bought. [TRUE BECAUSE THE BIG BOYS KNOW THAT DOLLARS ARE WORTHLESS AND GOLD IS THE ONLY REAL CURRENCY OF POWER.] Gold is taken to the United States or Italy where it is sold for currency. [THIS IS HOW THE ROTHCHILDS LAUNDER THEIR MONEY.] Currency is taken to China or Russia where arms are bought from the government with US dollars. [WELCOME TO THE DRUGS FOR GUNS FOR DOLLARS FOR GOLD SCAM.] The fax concluded with: The Elian thing is working up to a flash point. If anything happens to that kid or any of his family we could be in war with Cuba or Little Havana. Don't forget those Puerto Ricans Clinton freed. Why do you think he did that? [CUBA WOULD BE FOOLISH TO GO TO WAR AS THEY WOULD BE WIPED OUT AND CASTRO KNOWS THAT.] THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO KNOW IS THAT THE SAME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN POWER FOR CENTURIES AND THEY HAVE USED MANY PEOPLE TO PUT THEIR AGENDA FORWARD. WE ARE AT A CROSSROADS RIGHT NOW THAT WILL AFFECT HUMANKIND FOR DECADES. THEY ARE CALLED THE "COUNCIL OF 13". THESE ARE THE REAL POWER BROKERS THAT RUN THE WHOLE THING. ** From another Source: This looks more like speculation arrived at from a series of logical progressions. It makes sense that Panama will be the hot bed of drug running and that is why our government handed the canal over to the Panamanians. We can claim ignorance under the best conditions and go back in, take it over by force of arms and base a much larger military command there, under the worst conditions. Either way the U.S. comes

[CTRL] Britain and US monitoring all global messages
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Voice recognition is available according to some where they can pick out your voice from millions of calls. But I think they have trouble just with the New Zealand and Aust accents, others OK. Well a few years ago anyway. The other thing is when certain words are mentioned like UFO they start recording the conversation. I have heard whirring after mentioning UFO. Traces of email messages show they go through Virginia in USA.(CIA) Nicky Britain and US monitoring all global messages By Stephen Castle in Brussels http://www.independent.co.uk/news/Digital/Update/2000-01/monitoring280100.sh tml 28 January 2000 Almost every modern form of communication, from satellites to the internet, is being intercepted by a multi-billion pound global surveillance operation dominated by the US and Britain, according to a report for the European Parliament. The scale of communications monitoring in the cyber age is laid out in a document, due to be debated next month, which puts the price-tag of the global snooping operation at 15 to 20bn euros annually. The report sparked claims yesterday that the UK is aiding American economic and commercial espionage at the expense of its European partners by assisting it in surveillance work through a long-standing arrangement. According to the document, written by the researcher Duncan Campbell, more than 120 satellite-based systems are working simultaneously to collect intelligence. International telephone calls can be monitored with a speaker recognition system effectively a voiceprint which can recognise the speech of a targeted individual making a call. However, effective "word-spotting" systems which are activated when key words are spoken are not available despite 30 years of research. The document also argues that a previously unknown international organisation called "Ilets" has "put in place contentious plans to require manufacturers and operators of new communications systems to build in monitoring capacity for use by national-security or law-enforcement organisations." In addition, it says that industrial or economic espionage is common because there is "wide-ranging evidence indicating that major governments are routinely utilising communications intelligence to provide commercial advantage to companies and trade." The paper is one of a series which has been commissioned by the European Parliament ahead of a set of public hearings in Brussels next month, against a backdrop of mounting concern over the erosion of civil liberties. An earlier document prepared for MEPs in 1997 gave details of a highly automated Anglo-American system for processing intelligence known as Echelon, which collates communications, collected at interception points around the globe, and sends them for evaluation at spy stations. UK-US cooperation dates back to 1947 but Echelon's monitoring is now routine and indiscriminate and is now designed for non-military targets such governments, businesses and other organisations. The intelligence services seem so far to have kept pace with the explosion in the quantity of electronic communications through the internet, something which was thought at one time to pose a significant challenge to the agencies. Much of the globe's internet capacity is located in the US or passes through it and, the document argues, "communications from Europe to and from Asia, Oceania, Africa or South America normally travel via the United States". That means that "a large proportion of international communications on the internet will by the nature of the system pass through the US and thus be readily accessible to NSA [National Security Agency]" and can be sifted relatively easily from their origin and destination. The document points out, however, that the costs and technical difficulties of surveillance are growing. © 2000 Independent Digital (UK) Ltd.

[CTRL] The proof is in the pudding - Golitsyn defector right
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- The proof is in the pudding http://www.worldnetdaily.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?words=xcjnysearch_results_wra pper=/usr/home/wnd/htdig/common/archive_nyquist.htmlconfig=archive © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com In 1961 KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn defected to America. He became the most controversial Russian defector of the Cold War. He first ran into difficulties when he said there were KGB agents within the CIA. This sent chills through the slumbering bureaucrats. A controversy bubbled within our own intelligence community. Some disliked Golitsyn, having strong feelings against the idea of traitors and moles in their midst. The chief of CIA counterintelligence, James Angleton, took Golitsyn seriously and did a number of tests (by leaking information to groups of CIA officers to see if this information reached the Russians). According to Edward Jay Epstein, in his book entitled, "Deception: the Invisible War Between the KGB and CIA," these tests proved there were moles and traitors at the CIA. Deeply entrenched within our own intelligence community, these Russian agents were trained to avoid detection. Information was not passed to the Russians whenever Angleton was about to narrow the list of suspects. Like most bureaucratic organizations, the CIA could not face the truth. Angleton's views were resented. In 1974 the CIA's new boss, William Colby, began to zero in on Angleton. Colby later admitted to journalist David Wise: "Yeah, I was trying to ease ... (Angleton) out." In order to accomplish this, Colby began to reorganize the CIA. This reorganization weakened CIA counterintelligence, destroying Angleton's effectiveness. Colby then engaged in a further intrigue. In December 1974 he met with reporter Seymour Hersh of the New York Times. Colby confirmed a story Hersh was working on about CIA domestic spying. Such spying is against the rules and Angleton was implicated. Hersh left Colby's office and rushed to telephone Abe Rosenthal, his boss at the Times. "Abe, I got it," said Hersh. The story led to the resignation of Angleton. America's secret war was lost. Director of Central Intelligence William Colby, who met his fate 21 years later in a suspicious canoeing accident, came under counterattack after Angleton left the agency. According to David Wise's account: "It began to be whispered around Washington that Colby was the mole (Angleton had been looking for). But somehow the rumors could never be tied to Angleton directly." With the fall of Angleton, Golitsyn's warnings about Russian deception strategy were officially and finally discredited. A few years later, Angleton and Golitsyn went to William F. Buckley, a former CIA officer and editor of National Review. Angleton wanted Buckley's help in putting together a book -- "New Lies for Old" -- which would detail the mechanisms of Russian deception and warn the West of the dangers. Buckley later satirized his meeting with Angleton and Golitsyn in a National Review column. Buckley would have nothing to do with "New Lies for Old." In his view Angleton and Golitsyn were demented. Even from the vantage point of the early 1990s Buckley did not appreciate Golitsyn's incredible accuracy as an analyst. Like many former CIA officers, Buckley assumed -- without checking -- that Angleton was wrong. The germ of anti-paranoia ravaged the CIA after Angleton. It infected nearly everyone. Think about this for a moment; anti-paranoia is harmful to the very mission of America's intelligence community. Last week I had a long talk with a former CIA official. The subject of Angleton and Golitsyn came up. Here again the blindness of our people emerged. This former CIA official predictably described Angleton as "paranoid." Such a label discredits a person without appeal. In this context we ought to remember that a CIA counterintelligence chief must -- like Sherlock Holmes -- hold to his suspicions. The easiest smear against such a person, therefore, is the word "paranoia." The British writer Tom Mangold, who wrote a book on Angleton entitled, "Cold Warrior," used paranoia as a theme and a battering ram to destroy Angleton's reputation. By blurring the distinction between the professional suspicions of a spy-catcher and the inner demons of a crazy person, Mangold painted a vivid portrait of madness and self-destruction. But the greatest lie that Mangold told in his book, and the most unforgivable, was the lie that Golitsyn was a false prophet. "As a crystal-ball gazer," wrote Mangold, "Golistyn has been unimpressive." Mangold listed six predictions by Golitsyn that failed to come true. Six failed predictions out of 145. Mangold forgot to mention the 139 predictions that proved correct. Without William F. Buckley's literary assistance, Golitsyn wrote his predictions down in "New Lies for Old." The book was published by Dodd, Mead Company in

These are just the type of laws that do nothing to lock up criminals, but rather, they are designed to harass law abiding gun owners, and make criminals out of them. But guess what? They are STILL Federal gun laws, so they too will be enforced! I also want to bring your attention to the quote in the Houston Chronicle's news article that is found below the NRA's alert: "In an unusual response that bodes well for the proposal's chances, representatives of Handgun Control Inc. and the National Rifle Association both applauded the idea." Since when did Handgun Control Inc. ever embrace the first truly pro-gun proposal of ANY sort?? And now, the NRA and HCI are holding hands in unity over Project Exile?

President Clinton, showcasing his ability to flip-flop faster than a pancake cook, announced in Boston this week that he is now in favor of enforcing existing federal firearms laws. He revealed his intention to push a $280 million proposal that includes, according to Clinton, "the largest national gun enforcement initiative in the history of the United States." Of course, this is the same Clinton who ignored NRA's call to support the "Project Exile" prosecution model for years. Just last year, while NRA called for at least $50 million in federal funding to expand such programs nationwide, the Clinton budget capped expenditures at merely $5 million. This is also the same Clinton whose Administration has presided over a 44% decline in BATF-referred prosecutions! With this in mind, NRA remains skeptical regarding Clinton's latest claims. NRA-ILA Executive Director James Jay Baker commented, "I'm glad that the president has finally agreed with the NRA that enforcing federal firearms laws makes sense. We've been pushing for more enforcement of existing laws, and it's unfortunate that it took him until the seventh year of his term to finally take that seriously." However, Baker cautioned, "The President has proved adept at changing his position. When we see the detailed budget, we'll know if he has truly changed." # # # # # #

If Bush has this power, Facism could become a very real system right here is the U.S. **You are receiving this message as an update to your participation in the effort to stop the abuse of presidential executive orders.** Dear friend of liberty, On behalf of the Liberty Study Committee, I thank you for writing your U.S. representative about H.R. 2655 - The Separation of Powers Restoration Act that was submitted to the U.S. House on July 30, 1999 by Congressman Ron Paul and Congressman Jack Metcalf. Due to your efforts and the efforts of 21,332 other Americans during the last several months, H.R. 2655 now has 29 co-sponsors! Two sets of hearings on executive orders were held in the House last October. Last month, Congressman Ron Paul appeared on 15 radio talk shows from coast to coast talking about executive orders and H.R. 2655. Phase II is now underway. The Liberty Study Committee asks for your help again: 1. Review the updated information on the home page of http://www.executiveorders.org which includes testimony given at two congressional hearings. Three of Congressman Ron Paul's radio interviews are featured on the media page. 2. See if your U.S. representative is one of the 29 co-sponsors of H.R. 2655 by clicking on http://www.executiveorders.org/co-sponsors. 3. If your representative has not signed on H.R. 2655, please send him another message urging him to become a co-sponsor. If your representative has signed on, please send him a message of thanks. Please go to the home page of http://www.executiveorders.org to send your message. 4. Please tell your friends about H.R. 2655. Congress is back in session. Our goal is to double the number of co-sponsors to 58 by April 1. We've picked April 1 because we want to tell our national government that we won't be fooled anymore. Thanks again for your help!

Exploit me, baby, One more time
By Carla A. DeSantis
A recent Rolling Stone cover featured a pedophile's dream photo spread:
suggestive bedroom pics of 17-year-old pop sensation Britney Spears ("Hit Me
Baby, One More Time") posing in underwear and high heels with her little
girl dolls on the shelf behind her. Another equally exploitative shot of the
former Mouseketeer shows her in short shorts with the word "Baby" written in
rhinestones on her butt cheeks. In this one she is holding the handlebars of
a little pink and white girl's banana seat bike. As if she were a
"finger-lickin' good" menu item at KFC, the article begins with a
description of Spears' "honeyed thighs" and quickly works its way up to "her
ample breasts pushing against her T-shirt."
The illustrations and the accompanying piece were not written with the
intention of exploring Britney's impact as a singer or pop phenomenon, but
simply to exploit Britney as nubile and sexual. What was particularly
disturbing to me was the lack of reaction from several people I shared these
pictures with. Although a few were outraged, many others were nonplussed.
"It's a sign of the times," said one. "Her parents must think it's okay,"
said another. "I've seen worse," said yet another.
As a retired fulltime female musician now serving as publisher of ROCKRGRL,
a music trade publication devoted to breaking stereotypes and barriers for
women in the industry, I am acutely aware of the critical eye and constant
media scrutiny that women - especially women in the entertainment realm -
are under. Time and again I've noted that the media prefers to write about a
female musician's looks than her dedication to her craft.
I have nothing against lightweight bubble-gum pop or plastic surgery. What
does bother me, however, is that cultural body obsession means that a whole
lot of remarkably talented female artists may get overlooked because they
are neither 16 years old nor wrapped in a perfect size three package. It's
unlikely that any of my personal musical idols of the '60s and '70s - Patti
Smith, Carole King, Janis Joplin or Joni Mitchell, among them - would ever
have a shot at a record deal today because none of these artists possess
perfect Barbie-doll looks.
Even punk rock's most notorious bad girl, the lipstick-smeared Courtney Love
of the early '90s has little in common with the fashion-conscious Courtney
of today. Not only has she toned down her music but she has also toned up
her body. Today's Malibu Courtney bears a striking resemblance to the blonde
teen doll who owned her own beach house.
We are about to go on a Journey. All Aboard

[CTRL] You Can Trust the Communists....
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Previous Thread: Re: [CTRL] The proof is in the pudding - Golitsyn defector right :: A more recent defector named Stanislav Lunev penned Through the Eyes of the Enemy. To date, Lunev is the highest ranking military (publicly known) defector. The book itself, having been written years after Golitsyn's now prophetic New Lies for Old, is not a whirlwind of yet proven to be true prognostications; nor is it written with the quality or depth with which Golitsyn forewarned. When reading Lunev's account of events in Russia -- as written by Ira Winkler, the reader feels more like they are hearing the old stories of one's life, as told to them by their grandpa... Providing of course, that your grandpa was a Russian GRU Agent trained to kill. A book which is not very well known, Lunev's meager testimony echoes that of his fellow Russian Anatoliy Golitsyn, and only admits to that which Dr. Fred Schwartz warned of in 1962: You can trust the Communiststo be Communists. Lunev confirms that which time has proven for Golitsyn, and his witness belongs on your library shelve if you are one who collects books that are likely to be given the Montag treatment -- if the Communists are to succeed.
