[CTRL] ECHELON JAPAN
From: http://www.twics.com/~anzu/Japanwatch/Security/Echelon1.html JAPAN AND PROJECT ECHELON By, Jen Wilkenson In Misawa, Aomori Prefecture, near the northern tip of Japan, lies a sprawling US Air Force base, best known as the home to the 35th Fighter Wing and its squadron of F-16 jets. But Misawa is actually a more grandiose facility. The huge complex includes a host of installations in addition to the Air Force landing strip. In particular, some six kilometers north of the airstrip, there is a mysterious array of antennae and radar domes (or 'radomes'), a cornucopia of sophisticated surveillance equipment. But surveillance for what? Oficially, the large radar site is operated jointly by various sections of United States intelligence. On the official home page of Misawa Base, a host of units are listed -- all military units of one sort or another. There is an Army unit with some 700 personnel, an Air Force group with 900, a Navy unit with 700, and even a small Marine Corps detachment of 70. Somehow, though, with the Soviet Union having collapsed and the Chinese government doing all it can to ensure it can enter the WTO smoothly, it is difficult to believe that all that hardware is focused on the sole 'rogue nation' of the region; i.e., North Korea. Intriguingly, among the intelligence groups that use Misawa base, there is at least one "unlisted" member. It is the US National Security Agency, headquar- tered in Fort Meade, near Washington DC. This body was relatively unknown until very recently. In 1986, however, it gained notoriety thanks to a young, soft-spoken lieutenant colonel named Oliver North, who made daily appearances on US national TV, explaining how he had lied to Congress, how he had sold weapons illegally to Iran, and how he had funneled the proceeds from these sales to the anti-government Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua. Today, the NSA even has a home page, though the site only confirms its existence, as well as the fact that it is involved in "signals intelligence and communications security." As it turns out, the NSA presence at Misawa may be crucial. There was a series of revelations in 1997 and 1998, primarily from Europe, that the NSA was operating a global intelligence network, called Project Echelon, with the goal of monitoring virtually all electronic communications - telephone, facsimile, satellite, or telephone - around the world. According to the so-called STOA Report, issued by the European Commission, the core of this network is at Fort Meade, but there are stations peppered throughout the global U.S. alliance, with the largest station at a place called Menwith Hill, in Yorkshire, England. The Echelon Project, part of a secret intelligence treaty called UKUSA (signed by the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), was built up during the Cold War, primarily for the purpose of intercepting signals from the Soviet camp. With the end of the Cold War, however, its role has apparently changed to surveillance of "terrorists," as well as economic intelligence. This network also had a secondary function: to circumvent domestic privacy laws in the different countries. Many nations have laws protecting their own citizens from being spied on by their own intelligence agencies (for example, the CIA is legally prohibited from conducting domestic operations). But here lies the brilliance of the Echelon logic. If the US spies on Japanese citizens, and provides this information to the Japanese government, and the Japanese government spies on US citizens, again sharing this intelligence, then both sides can claim they are acting within the law. Misawa clearly has a major role in this global intelligence network. During the Cold War years, it was generally believed that the huge radar site was primarily focused on the Soviet Union and North Korea, and it had the particular task of monitoring communications from three Soviet satellites Richelson, p. 182). In recent years, however, a more sinister mission has come to light. Part of the Echelon mission has come to include the monitoring of Japanese diplomatic cables, for example, as well as the communications between trading companies and their branches in other countries. The network has apparently been used to boost the American position in trade negotiations with Japan. Of course, this puts Japan in an awkward spot. In some cases, it appears, the array was aimed not at the outside but rather at the inside of Japan. The array may, in fact, be a huge facility with the primary goal of intercepting messages - via radio waves, microwaves, even conventional telephone lines - inside Japan. It is rumored that agencies such as the NSA may have powerful software that allows them to listen in on telephone conversations, and then record those which contain certain keywords. There has been virtually no debate in Japan about the existence of Project Echelon, let alone Japan's role in it. Since the release of the European report,

From: spiker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Recipient list suppressed Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2000 6:46 PM Subject: Heads Up June 18, 2000 #186 From: Doug Fiedor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Heads Up A Weekly View from the Foothills of Appalachia June 18, 2000 #186 by: Doug Fiedor[EMAIL PROTECTED] Previous Editions at: http://www.uhuh.com/reports/headsup/list-hu.htm CHILDREN AND SHOOTING It's interesting to hear that a few of the Hollywood mannequins and their directors were actually surprised at scenes in a new movie. But, the most interesting point was the utter hypocrisy of it all. It was Hollywood, after all, that put out films about students shooting up high schools. Hollywood also thought that a long series of bloody slasher films were great entertainment. So too, with a couple hundred urban, suburban and country shoot 'em ups. In fact, it wasn't long ago that Hollywood seemed to think that the more human blood and guts splattered throughout a film the better it would do at the box office. These violence oriented films were, of course, targeted at children and young teens. Many of them received an "R" rating, but that has seldom stopped kids from seeing them. All of the films are also played often on television. So it was interesting to see that Matt Drudge reported: "A loud 'gasp' was heard in the screening room as the camera zoomed in for a closeup of the kids. Shots are fired. Blood splatters on Redcoats. They go into woods and ambush the Redcoats, killing around 15 men. 'One son is around 13 years old, the other is 10,' says an insider." The film was the "Patriot," of course, and the protagonist is shown taking up arms against those in authority who would confiscate personal arms. The offending part to those on the far left is when the hero reaches into a chest and gives his sons rifles. The kids then go out into the woods and ambush Redcoats, killing a few. So, let's examine this prevailing Hollywood mindset here: Shooting up people in high schools and slashing people to death at summer camps is fine entertainment, apparently. Protecting ones family, home and neighborhood, on the other hand, is not. Interesting! There were a couple other shoot 'em up films about real American heroes a few years back. Lest we forget, perhaps it is time to remember a more modern reason that children should be taught to safely use firearms accurately. An article in the June 14, 1919 issue of "The Literary Digest," describes a big bashful, red headed mountain boy from the village of Pall Mall, in Fortress County, Tennessee. This boy grew up where good shooting is the rule, not the exception. However, he was also from a strict religious sect, so when drafted into the Army for World War I, the young man entered as a conscientious objector. It was said that part of the heroism of this young man was his honesty in changing his convictions when he was convinced that he was wrong. Maybe. But, on October 8, 1918, in the Argonne Forest of France, their came a time when war was all around him and his friends were dying. That was when this young conscientious objector from Tennessee, an excellent rifle and pistol shot from boyhood, blended his civilian and military training into action. As the story goes, he killed twenty or twenty- five of the German enemy, captured 132 others - including a major and three lieutenants - and put thirty-five machine guns out of action, all in very short order. That is, of course, part of the saga of Sergeant Alvin C. York, a true American hero. Read more about Sergeant York at: http://ac.acusd.edu/History/text/ww1/sgtyork.html A few years after Sergeant Alvin C. York returned home, a son was born to poor Texas sharecroppers, one of nine children. That put this young man in the proper age group to fight in World War II. And, herein developed another story of yet another American who learned to shoot at an early age. By age 12, this Texas boy was already a great shot with a rifle. At that time, his family was very poor, so he quit school to work for a neighboring farmer. When the war started, the 17 year old boy enlisted. This young man rose to national fame as the most decorated U.S. combat soldier of World War II. Among his 33 awards and decorations was the Medal of Honor, the highest military award for bravery that can be given to any individual in the United States, for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty." He also received every decoration for valor that his country had to offer, some of them more than once, including 5 decorations by France and Belgium. Credited with killing over 240 of the enemy while wounding and capturing many others, he soon became a legend within the 3rd Infantry Division. Beginning his service as an Army Private, this young man quickly rose in the enlisted ranks to Staff Sergeant, then was given a "battlefield" commission as 2nd Lieutenant, was wounded three times, fought in 9
[CTRL] Golden Opportunity to Support the Second Amendment (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 21:10:18 -0400 From: Weldon Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Golden Opportunity to Support the Second Amendment Golden Opportunity to Support the Second Amendment Editor's note by Weldon Clark This is a bit long but extremely important. You have an opportunity to strike a blow for liberty. You need to write letters to your local newspapers and to your Congressman and Senators. Say two things, first the US government says I do not have a right to own a firearms, then say that you do and the Judges agree with your. Quote them. This will get a powerful message out to the general public. Thanks to Tom Gresham and Neal Knox. In South Carolina State Senator Larry martin won reelection. He sponsored the bill REPEALING the DCM and military firearm ban in South Carolina. I paid for, wrote and sent one thousand post cards to gun owners in favor of his reelection. June 15 Neal Knox Report -- My report on Tuesday's oral argument in U.S. v. Emerson, based mainly on law school grad Linda Thomas' phone calls immediately after the argument, has created a stir on the internet -- as well it should. Because the judges asked such good questions, and appeared so favorable to Emerson and the Second Amendment, some folks have started premature celebrating. I hate to throw cold water, but even if the three-judge panel rules solidly our way, we're a long ways from home. Nevertheless, the anti-gun crowd is worried. Handgun Control Inc.'s legal beagle, Dennis Henigan, told the Washington Post that if gun possession is found to be an individual constitutional right, as Judge Sam Cummings ruled when he struck down the 1996 Lautenberg amendment, gun laws would be held to "a completely different standard" that could weaken or strike down existing laws. No kidding, Dennis. My brain wasn't in gear when I said "all" Federal gun laws are based on the Commerce Clause. The National Firearms Act, particularly, is based on Congress' taxation powers as Attorney General Homer Cummings explained when he was pitching the machine gun law to Congress back in 1934. Radio talk show host, long-time friend and gun writer Tom Gresham has a most excellent report on the hearing on his web page, www.guntalk.com. (I've copied it at the tail of this piece.) By the way, I got most of my info on the argument from Linda Thomas of Houston, who is not Linda Thompson, the Indianapolis lawyer who made a doctored Waco film a few years back. --- Here's Tom Gresham's good report on the Emerson case to his "Truth Squad," for which he prepares sample letters for local newspapers and lawmakers. As I told Tom at the NSSF Summit at Phoenix, that's an extremely important work, for many of our folks can't craft an informed, persuasive letter. What most folks don't realize is that Congress-types rarely see the letters sent to their offices (which need to go there anyway, because Congressmen get the count and some letters get through). But your Congressman will almost certainly read your letters to editor in local newspapers. Congressmen subscribe to local papers, or get daily faxes of key sections -- particularly Letters to Editor -- so they know what the folks at home are thinking. Tom says there's some differences between his and Linda Thomas' views, as I reported them, but I didn't see anything in his report that's different from what Linda told me, except in the detail. He was shocked to hear Justice Department lawyers say we have no gun rights, but I've been hearing that from them for years, so it didn't have the same impact on Linda or me. But Tom gives a lot of additional info that answers questions from a lot of you folks. - By Tom Gresham www.GunTalk.com This is an important case for Second Amendment supporters. For a complete background on Emerson, see the Second Amendment Foundation website: http://www.saf.org/EmersonViewOptions.html. Neal Knox sent out an alert about this immediately after the arguments were heard, and while I agree with much of that report, Neal wasn't here. Also, because Neal has been in this fight for a long time (as has Linda Thomas, who gave him the report), I think they both might have glossed over something that many gun owners would find amazing. By the way, Neal's email reports are good information, and I suggest that you subscribe to them. www.nealknox.com. He and I don't always agree, but if you take his reports as a part of your research, I think you will find them useful. I sat next to Linda, which is interesting, in that our notes differ in a couple of places. Such is reporting, I guess. Nothing big, but a few details. Here are the "Cliff Notes" on the case. Dr. Emerson was issued a boilerplate restraining order in the middle of a divorce. There were 22 orders in the R.O., and three of them said, basically, that he had to stay away
[CTRL] Cokehead Bush Failed To Take Military Drug Test
http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2000/06/18/stifgnusa02001.html Bush flies into an air force cocaine cloud Tom Rhodes, New York THE Republican frontrunner for the White House, George W Bush, was suspended from flying as a young pilot for failing to take a medical examination that included a drug test. Documents obtained by The Sunday Times reveal that in August 1972, as a 26-year-old subaltern in the Air National Guard, Bush was grounded for failing to "accomplish" an annual medical that would have indicated whether he was taking drugs. Rumours of cocaine use and "lost weekends in Mexico" have plagued Bush Jr, 53, son of the last Republican president, for months since he declared himself a candidate in the presidential race. With character enshrined as an election issue after the short-lived but popular candidacy of John McCain, the Arizona senator and Vietnam war hero, the latest revelation is certain to rekindle interest in Bush's past. Yesterday it provoked accusations by Democrats of a cover-up. While he has consistently admitted to a "misspent youth", Bush has evaded questions about cocaine or other drug use, implying only that he has not taken illegal substances since 1974, the year after he left the Air National Guard. Allegations about his stint in a reserve unit at the height of the Vietnam war are likely to provoke parallels with Bill Clinton, whose early presidential candidacy was mired in accusations of draft-dodging and questions of whether he inhaled marijuana as a student. Bush was not required to face drug tests when he first entered the reserve unit as a Yale graduate in 1968. It was only at the end of 1971 that the US Air Force, facing a backlash against drug-fuelled escapades in Vietnam, introduced a screening policy. In April 1972 the Pentagon implemented a drug-abuse testing programme that required officers on "extended active duty", including reservists such as Bush, to undergo at least one random drug test every year. The annual medical exam that year included a routine analysis of urine, a close examination of the nasal cavities and specific questions about drugs. Under regulations issued in the 1972 air force manual, doctors were directed to ask: "Do you now or have you ever used or experimented with any drug, other than prescribed by a physician (to include LSD, marijuana, hashish, narcotics or other dangerous drugs as determined by the attorney-general of the United States)?" The code stated that personnel must undergo the medical in the month following their birthday. For Bush, this meant August. In May, the young airman moved from his air force training base in Houston to Alabama. He was working part-time on the Republican Senate campaign of Winton Blount, a politician he had met through his father, then a congressman, while continuing his military service. To avoid constant travel, he applied to move his training programme from Houston to Dannelly air base in Montgomery, Alabama. There is no evidence in his record, however, that once there he ever attended the periodic drills required by part-time guardsmen. William Turnipseed, a retired general who commanded the Alabama unit at the time, said Bush never appeared for duty. Two commanders at Ellington air force base in Houston said in his record they were unable to perform his annual evaluation covering the year from May 1, 1972 to April 30, 1973. "Lt Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of this report," they wrote. He eventually served 32 days in Houston before requesting and receiving a discharge in October 1973, eight months before the end of his six-year term. The Bush presidential campaign last week insisted that the Texas governor had performed his duties to the letter and denied that Bush was involved with drugs at the time. Dan Bartlett, a spokesman, said Bush had transferred to Alabama as a non-flying guardsman and so required no medical assessment. "As he was not flying, there was no reason for him to take the flight exam," said Bartlett. "And he was not aware of any changes that required a drug test." Bush was said to have been unable to take the medical because he was in Alabama while his doctor was in Houston. His campaign official, however, said Bush was aware that he would be suspended for missing his medical as soon as he left Houston because the air force was unable to process his new status before the August deadline for the test. "It was just a question of following the bureaucratic procedure of the time," he said. "He knew the suspension would have to take place." This explanation does not impress Democrats, who claim Bush's past will become the subject of intense scrutiny in the run-up to the Republican convention in Philadelphia at the end of next month. Chris Lapetina, a former marine and Democratic political consultant, said controversy about the medical exam could hurt Bush's chances among several voting blocks, including pensioners and veterans.
[CTRL] OT: Satellite Radio Readying for Liftoff
From: http://www.msnbc.com/news/420011.asp?0m=-258 Radio gets a new frequency Satellite radio services in the U.S. are readying for liftoff later this year, promising coast-to-coast, CD-quality audio for cars and homes. By Jane Weaver mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MSNBC June 14 Coming soon on your radio dialdozens of commercial-free music stations with clear reception that doesnt fade out no matter how far you drive. For radio fans burnt out by a glut of commercial pitches and endless Britney Spears soundalikes, two soon-to-launch satellite radio services could signal the biggest revolution in the industry since the launch of FM 40 years ago. IS THIS THE FUTURE of radio? The budding satellite radio industry should get its kickstart at the end of June when New York company Sirius Radio launches the first of 3 satellites custom designed to broadcast CD-quality audio signals across the U.S. If the June launch is successful, investment analysts expect the companys stock to takeoff as well. Thats an important catalyst for the stock, William Kidd, analyst with C.E. Unterberg, Towbin, adding that many investors have held back from buying into satellite radio stock because of risks associated with satellite launches. Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc. (SIRI) price change $39.63 unch XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (XMSR) price change $29.88-1.125 Data: MSN MoneyCentral Investor and SP Comstock There are a lot of investors who love the idea of [satellite radio], but are afraid to take the risk. The stock should increase with each successful launch. Later this year, two more Sirius satellites are scheduled for liftoff, followed closely in November by the launch of rival XMs satellite. Once the satellites are deployed, the two services will begin testing broadcasts of their systems from specially-built digital studios. Sirius Radio has already begun producing audio content and building up its digital music library in its Rockefeller Center studio in New York, says chief executive David Margolese. The Washington, D.C.-based XM will rollout some prototype radios in the fall as it begins trials of its broadcasts, says vice president of marketing Robert Acker. COAST-TO-COAST COVERAGE For listeners, satellite radio means coast-to-coast reception of a clear digital signal of up to 100 channels of music, news, talk and sports programming. Both companies plan to offer monthly subscriptions for $9.95, allowing listeners to choose their favorite genres of commercial-free musicfrom reggae to heavy metal to operaor listen to numerous news, sports or talk programs with limited commercial interruptions. Satellite radios like this illustration from XM could be standard equipment in cars in the next few years. Sirius has signed content partnerships with CNBC, National Public Radio, Bloomberg and USA Networks/Sci-Fi Channel, among others. XM counts NASCAR, USA Today, the BBC and CNN/Sports Illustrated among its content partners. Its the first innovation in radio since the advent of FM, says Vijay Jayant, an analyst with Bear, Stearns who follows both satellite radio companies. This is vastly superior radio, says Sirius Margolese. Youll be able to hear what you cant otherwise obtain on radio today. Its offering exactly what you want to listen to, offers XMs Acker. Most records arent played on the radio, people arent going to the radio to learn about new music. Consumers should be able to buy satellite radios, ranging from about $200 up to $1000, in stores like Circuit City and Best Buy by next summer. An adaptor for existing car radios should retail for $79. Investment bank C.E. Unterberg, Towbin projects that by 2005, there will be 23 million subscribers to satellite radio services. A study from The Carmel Group estimates that by 2006, there will be over 25 million satellite radio suscribers, generating more than $4 billion in revenues from hardware and subscriptions. The [growth] potential is pretty astounding, says analyst Kidd, who initiated coverage of XM in April with a strong buy. New on the dial Will satellite radio be the biggest breakthrough since FM? Two companies are preparing national rollout. 1) Sirius Satellite Radio, New York Satellite takeoff: Approxmiately June 28 Launch: Q2 2001 Playlist: 50 channels of commercial-free music, including RB, hits, rock, jazz, classical, country, latin; 50 channel of news, sports and talk with 4 minutes of commercials per hour. Content partners: Includes BBC, Bloomberg, CNBC, Hispanic Radio Network, NPR, Sports Byline USA, Playbill. Alliances for on-air programming with Sting, Grandmaster Flash, and MC Lyte. Investors: DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Co. ($20 million) Blackstone Capital Partners III, Apollo Management. Auto partners: BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Co., Volvo, Jaguar, Toyota (in negotiations)
Re: [CTRL] Weavers Awarded $3.1 Million by US Government
I am still wondering after reading the article below, who is this Lon Tomohisa Horiuchi - the man who is a sharpshooter for the FBI (?) who murdered in cold blood, Vicki Weaver while she held a baby in her arms - and after the order was out to kill the dog first, as it could be a problem (family pet) which drew out the little 8th grader where he too was murdered, going to the aid of his dog who was already dead. I have known West Point Men, and this bum somehot fitor is this what West Point has become under corrupt congressmen and Administrationhow much did spm in West Point - a man who was involved in JFK kill? This despicable animal, this vicious sadistic killer - this Lon Tomohisa Horiuchi, was a member of the Chinese Club at West Point; however, Horiuchi I thought was Japanese name? What kind of creatures do they let into West Point these days - Jewish Mafia Meyer Lansky's son got appointment to West Point - and this is the man who is alleged to have set up plan to murder JFK because of operations in Cuba - the mob lost over $100 million a year and today they want back. So read this story - and see how evil this element is in our government and how they entrapped Weaver to begin with - but to bring in this alleged "sharpshooter", this sadistic pig Ln Tomohisa Horiuchi, graduate of West Point - well he could not be much to end up a killer sharpshooter could he. This vicious Chinese animal - but then look what is happening, Clinton giving neutron bomb secrets away, Red Chinese have Panama Canal, and these vicious killers are turned against Amrican Citizens now? Thanks to lady who sent me the information on this guy.he reminds me of the vicious killers who infiltrated Viet Nam and killed our American Soldiers. Anybody have any biography on this Horiuchi? Red Chinese now have missiles aimed at West Coast and means by which to deliver same, according to sources on web. And Russia - drugs galore from China and Russia - just 50 miles across Bering Strait to Alaska USA, and follow the Sollog line to Arkansas after stopping off in Colorado and on to Florida. A Saba Here is story with information showing how despicable our FBI is today - and then wondr what West Point Graduate is doing with FBI as a sharpshooter - is that al is does, or is this yellow bellied bastard a UN "peacekeeper"remember, Clinton said let hem get first shot - but who shot the dog, to get the 8th grader in open to murder? And this bastard Lon Tomohisa Horiuchi was at Waco also - is this creep a Ninjh also - he loves to kill doesn't he. Weaver Awarded $3.1 Million from US Government The following was pieced together from printed reports of Ruby Ridge, a Prime Time Live show detailing the events of Ruby Ridge, and the Weaver and Harris transcripts of the trial. While admitting no wrong, the US Government settled suits filed by the Weaver family over the killing of his 14 year old son and his wife by federal law enforcement officials at Ruby Ridge in Northern Idaho. The payment settles claims filed by Weaver and his two daughters. The original claims totaled $200 million. The Justice Department released a statement on the day they agreed to the settlement that said in part: "The settlement reflects the loss to the Weaver children of their mother and brother. By entering into a settlement, the United States hopes to take a substantial step toward healing the wounds the incident inflicted." How it Started Weaver had been approached by an informant to the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) to sell him sawed off shot-guns. Weaver apparently relented after several times telling the informant no. He sold two shot-guns to the informant in October of 1989. The shot guns sold to the informant according to the FBI were a mere 1/4" short of the legal barrel length for shot-guns. Weaver contends they were perfectly legal at the time he sold them to the informant. Weaver was given bogus information on when to appear in court on the weapons charges. Rather than correcting the error, the Federal officials declared him a fugitive. However, a Federal Judge ruled after the siege at Ruby Ridge that the weapons charges amounted to entrapment by the FBI. Weaver had been sent erroneous information on when to appear for his court date - in what appeared to be a deliberate attempt by Federal authorities to initiate the confrontation. It would have been a simple matter to correct the error and give Mr. Weaver another chance to appear. That in part is why the Federal Judge ruled the gun charges amounted to entrapment. Then it Happened: All Hell broke Loose On August 21st, 1992, deputy marshals botched a surveillance attempt after entering the Weaver property in fatigues and facial camo. They were armed with night vision devices and fully automatic "assault" weapons. Their orders were to shoot the family dog as the dog would make it difficult to continue their surveillance. The family dog caught wind of the intruders and

[CTRL] Waco FLIR Source
.. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: Ian Goddard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Waco FLIR Source Date: Thursday, June 08, 2000 4:18 AM It's interesting to note that the source of the Waco FLIR "evidence" was ex-CIA director William Colby and his inside CIA contacts. Could Colby have been duped with a lousy copy of the FLIR and assurance that these flashes (solar reflections) are gunshots, leading him to take action to expose the apparent crime, with evidence that would mislead the government's opponents and fall apart after legal teams staked their case on innocent solar reflections? (Is that the "wrong" question or what! :-) Here are some relevant quotes about the source of the Waco FLIR "evidence" from an investigator for one of the legal teams bringing suit for wrongful death who filed the FLIR in court, Gordon Novel: "In December 1995, Colby gave us one of the first major chunks of evidence: the FLIR tape that shows the FBI machine-gunning the women and children that were trying to get out of the vault in the rear of the building... " Source: American Freedom, October 1996, page 10. "Colby gave me the FLIR tape in December. My attorneys in New Orleans were told very clearly that the tape was coming from an ex-CIA director. They were only interested in the evidence, and not really concerned where I was getting the evidence from. Colby initially wanted the tape to go to Eugene Grassley, the Republican senator on the Senate Judiciary Committee from Iowa. ... [Colby] had supplied the tape and all the evidence in the case..." Source: American Freedom, December 1996, page 10. "There were about 76 undeniable bursts of machine gun fire, and they're on the government tape that was introduced into the recrod. It takes special technology that someone in the Technical Services Directorate or somewhere in the CIA had discovered, using high tech equipment to amplify the flashes from the machine guns, which were all probably silenced weapons." Source: American Freedom, October 1996, page 10. This article gives other details from Novel on the FLIR: http://mysa.com/mysanantonio/extras/waco/012300waco.shtml Carol Valentine has long claimed that the FLIR is a Govt trick: http://public-action.com/SkyWriter/WacoMuseum/burial/doc/wtroe.html http://public-action.com/SkyWriter/WacoMuseum/burial/page/b_wsws.html A Few More Observations About The 1993 Waco FLIR Flashes: One of the more emphasized features of the 1993 Waco FLIR flashes is that many move toward Mount Carmel, just as one might expect a gun flash to propagate from its muzzle toward the target, in this case being Mt Carmel. So it was assumed by several experts that the flashes must be guns shooting toward Mt Carmel. However, a feature of all those flashes is that they all happen when the aircraft is in one region of the sky, and all moving flashes move in one direction viewed frame by frame: left to right. Question: in what direction would a reflection of the sun in its position over Mt Carmel move across a reflective surface on the ground when viewed from the region of sky and direction of motion of the FLIR aircraft? Answer: left to right. Therefore, flashes with a left-to-right propagation toward Mt Carmel would be an expected feature of reflections seen from objects when viewed from all the angles the aircraft viewed the flashes. Regarding the fact that two flashes occur at Location 8 separated by twelve minutes with the camera in virtually the same location, one respondent raised the important point that the Earth's motion over twelve minutes would mean the camera needs to be in a different position to catch the same reflected beam twelve minutes later. Well, the camera is in a different position, slightly different, but what you'd expect to see for the displacement of a reflected solar beam over twelve minutes. See: http://www.erols.com/igoddard/flirloc8.htm Direct link to graphic: http://users.erols.com/igoddard/flir804.gif The angle of the camera in the second frame is slightly different.

Re: [CTRL] The War Against Boys
Before WWI, it was the norm in western culture to give little boys dolls to play with, the same sort of dolls which their sisters played with. Indeed, the Victorian custom was to dress little boys in dresses until they were 5 or 6 years old. With the first World War, the idea changed that now little boys had to be conditioned and taught to be cannon fodder, hence the change to emphasize 'masculine' toys for boys, and the denigrating of the idea of boys' nurturing nature being encouraged via doll play... It is purely a 20th century construct, a myth like that of the 'nuclear family', that boys prefer one type of toy over another; boys will play with the toys they are given, and if a male infant or toddler is given a doll, he will play with it.

[CTRL] New Book: OUR NATION BETRAYED by Garland Favorito
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Announcing OUR NATION BETRAYED - New book by Garland Favorito (one of 3 founders of "March On Washington"!!) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ Announcing the New Book: "Our Nation Betrayed - Mutually Assured Destruction for America" "Finally a book that explains why Republicans will never hold President Bill Clinton accountable for acts of treason, bribery, tyranny and fascism" Our Nation Betrayed illustrates the threat to America from Democrat and Republican leaders who use a policy of mutually assured destruction to cover their corruption. It explains how a Republican led Congress turned the impeachment of Bill Clinton into a sex soap opera to protect him from charges of treason, bribery and abuse of the FBI and IRS. Likewise, during the 1980s, a Democrat led Congress turned the Contra investigation into an arms for hostages deal to protect George Bush from extensive CIA drug trafficking charges. Republican leaders were forced to continue secrecy of these drug operations during the impeachment to protect the year 2000 candidacy of George W. Bush. News media controllers suppress these facts to compromise both sides and implement their own global socialist agenda for ultimate power. This book provides an inside story that documents remarkable evidence including: · 11 revenue streams from Clinton / Gore campaigns and the DNC to individuals and organizations directly connected to the Communist Chinese military · 50 potential acts of treason by Bill Clinton, his cabinet members and appointees · 3 worldwide CIA drug operations tracing to direct reports of George Bush · 5 Special Forces colonels who died probing a CIA / Mossad drug operation · 7 unsolved murders connected to government drug operations in Arkansas · 86 Branch Davidians murdered by agents of the ATF, FBI and American military · 2000 Yugoslavian citizens deliberately targeted and killed by NATO bombs · 1 White House Counsel who "shot himself" without getting his prints on the gun · 25 techniques used by the media to deceive the American people Garland Favorito is an Atlanta based independent computer consultant who became concerned about government corruption after viewing and verifying the accuracy of videos about the murders of Vince Foster, Kevin Ives and Don Henry. When he realized that a cover-up of these and other serious crimes were linked to Clinton administrations, he planned and helped organize America's first National Impeachment Town Hall. After the Republican leadership protected Bill Clinton from facing the more serious charges that initiated the impeachment movement, Garland decided to find out why.

Tractors and trucks have been hard at work in recent weeks, undertaking projects along the eastern ridge of the Temple Mount, up to the Solomon's Stables site where sealed-off areas were opened up four months ago. Two large stone structures have been erected. The Supreme Court has ordered the State to respond within seven days to a suit claiming that the two illegal structures have been built alongside the Temple Mount. HAKOL MEHASHETACH news agency reports that the Waqf illegally constructed the buildings near the Gate of Mercy, along the Mount's eastern wall, and that the suit demands their demolition. Over 80 MKs (Members of Knesset) from across the political spectrum have signed a petition protesting the destruction on the Temple Mount. The "Committee for the Prevention of Damage to Antiquities on the Temple Mount" -- a non-partisan body comprised of members representing a gamut of political views -- claims that considerable damage has been caused in recent months to valuable relics on the surface of the Temple Mount, and below ground level. The Committee complains that no clear explanation of what the Waqf is up to along the eastern wall has been offered. A Justice Ministry official said in response that actions pertaining to the Temple Mount must be carried out carefully, because of the fear of "an outburst of violence." The Islamic Movement in Israel has a master plan to build a fourth mosque on the eastern side of the Temple Mount, according to a detailed report prepared by security officials concerning how the Waqf and the Islamic Movement envision the holy site. The construction of the mosque is a long-term plan which is currently only in the discussion stage, unlike the other plans outlined in the report. WASHINGTON WANT MORE CONTROL IN ISRAELI GOVERNMENT: The United States pressed Thursday for greater US supervision of Israeli weapons exports and sought to persuade Israel to cancel the sale of a spy plane to China, but Israel was unreceptive. HA'ARETZ said the United States has drawn up a list of 27 countries it considers problematic destinations for Israeli weapons, including China and India, two major Israeli clients. Israeli officials reject the idea of US monitoring, but refused to comment directly Thursday, fearing diplomatic repercussions. In the past, most Israeli weapons systems included US components, and since the United States bans re-export of its technology without its agreement, Washington had automatic supervision over most deals. But Israel's weapons manufacturers now can build sophisticated arms without using American technology, forcing the United States to look for new ways to monitor Israel's exports. The United States is concerned that Israeli military high-tech will end up in the wrong hands and endanger US troops, said a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity. [Israel is concerned about US weapons that endanger IDF soldiers, but the US does not pay heed to them. Why should another government, openly hostile to Israel, be allowed to monitor its weapons sales? ed] Meanwhile, according to JANE'S DEFENSE WEEKLY, the US Department of Defense stated it would sell Cairo 179 surplus M109s cannons for about $48 million if Congress approves.

Re: [CTRL] Weavers Awarded $3.1 Million[ http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/991108/horiuchi.htm]
The man in the Sierra 1 sniper post at Waco and the Sierra 4 post at Ruby Ridge was FBI marksman Lon Tomohisa Horiuchi. Over the past seven years, he has become the most controversial law enforcement officer in America. For most of that time, the 45-year-old West Point graduate and former infantry officer has been in courtrooms or preparing his defense. At Ruby Ridge, Horiuchi shot and killed Weaver's wife, Vicki, 43, as she held their 10-month-old daughter behind the door of their cabin. He also shot and wounded Weaver, 44, and his friend, Kevin Harris. At Waco, some 80 members of the Branch Davidian religious sect perished after the FBI and other law enforcement agencies moved to end the 51-day siege. Being there. Now it's Horiuchi who is in the crosshairs. He is the only individual defendant still left in the wrongful death civil lawsuit filed by Branch Davidians and their survivors against the federal government. His attorneys say he is innocent, that he "didn't take any shots whatsoever at Waco." But Houston lawyer Michael Caddell, who represents some of the Davidians, says the group has "specific evidence" showing that Horiuchi did fire his weapon. Earlier this year, a federal judge in Waco ruled that the Davidians had uncovered "at least some evidence to support their claim" that Horiuchi fired into the burning building. How did this 15-year FBI veteran, the son of another U.S. Army officer, wind up in such a legal quagmire? What caused this husband and father, a politically conservative Catholic who homeschools some of his six children, to become such a figure of hatred? Horiuchi's actions at Waco and Ruby Ridge have been documented in great detail. Perhaps it is the significance militia groups have attached to both events, rather than the events themselves, that has intensified the focus on him. For now at least, Horiuchi is not saying. His attorneys have counseled silence, and that seems to be Horiuchi's preferred response in any case. "He's a very private person, very protective of his family," says Adam Hoffinger, one of the lawyers for Horiuchi, a third-generation Japanese-American who grew up in Hawaii. "We're determined to let him get on with his life." To his defenders, Horiuchi-who has testified he could hit a quarter at 200 yards-is a consummate pro, honed as a military officer, burnished as a leader of an FBI Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) sniper crew. "He was dedicated, hard working, aggressive. He was trying to do the right thing, trying to serve his country in a stressful environment," David W. Johnson, head of the HRT from 1985 to 1989 and once Horiuchi's supervisor, told the Albany (N.Y.) Times Union in 1995. FBI Director Louis Freeh has also stood by his agent, stressing that his job entailed making "split-second decisions." To his critics, Horiuchi is a "paid FBI assassin" carrying out the wishes of an increasingly hostile and unresponsive police establish- ment. "After a year-long review, the U.S. Justice Department decides . . . not to charge sniper Lon Horiuchi with any crime. Like the Germans at Nuremberg, [Justice Department officials] declare he was 'just following orders,' " snapped a Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial after the government closed an investigation of Horiuchi's actions without filing charges. Repeat defendant. By the time he became a defendant in the current Waco case, Horiuchi had already been in an Idaho federal court on involuntary-manslaughter charges in connection with Vicki Weaver's death. A federal judge dismissed the case last year, ruling that "Mr. Horiuchi, rightly or wrongly, was clearly acting under orders authorized by the U.S. government to go shoot and kill an armed male adult because the threat to human lives had already been determined by his supervisors based on the facts then known to them." The decision is being appealed by the state of Idaho. Horiuchi and 10 other HRT snipers were flown to the Idaho siege after U.S. Marshal William Degan and Randy Weaver's 14-year-old son, Sam, were killed. They were positioned around the cabin when Randy Weaver, his daughter Sara, and their friend Kevin Harris attempted to go to a shed where Sam's body lay. As the trio neared the shed, Horiuchi fired once with his .308-caliber Remington rifle, equipped with a powerful scope, hitting Randy Weaver in the arm. He fired again as the group ran back to the cabin. This round smashed through the door, striking Vicki in the jaw and killing her almost instantly. The same bullet also seriously wounded Harris. Horiuchi later testified he did not see Vicki behind the door and that he believed Randy Weaver and Harris, who was carrying a rifle, posed a threat to an FBI helicopter hovering overhead. (According to Jess Walter, author of Every Knee Shall Bow, a book about the showdown at Ruby Ridge: "There were 11 snipers on the hill, and they all heard the same helicopter. He was the only one who fired.") Less than a year later, Horiuchi was again at a sniper
[CTRL] Libertarians Attack State Plan to Interrogate Children
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Libertarians Attack State Plan to Interrogate Children U.S. Newswire 14 Jun 13:12 Libertarians Attack State Plan To Interrogate Five Year Olds To: State Desk Contact: Juan Ros of the Libertarian Party of California, 818-782-8400; E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Web: http://www.ca.lp.org http://www.ca.lp.org SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Calling it a "disturbing invasion of family privacy," the Libertarian Party of California today attacked a bill in the state Legislature that would require children as young as five years old to be asked intrusive, personal questions such as whether or not their parents spank them, keep guns in the house, or watch violent television shows. The bill, AB 2068 by Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), passed the Assembly by one vote on May 25 and is pending before the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services. "This has to be one of the most frightening bills I have ever seen introduced in the California Legislature," stated Libertarian state chair Mark Hinkle. "Forcing children to report 'suspicious' activity of their parents or neighbors is a strategy right out of the totalitarian playbook, not something that should even be considered in a free and civil society." AB 2068 adopts recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in a January 1999 Policy Statement entitled "The Role of the Pediatrician in Youth Violence Prevention and Clinical Practice and at the Community Level." In that paper, the AAP advises pediatricians to screen children for risk factors indicating violence, such as: * Whether the parents or family members have substance abuse problems -- Whether the parents are employed -- Whether any family members are involved in gangs -- Whether the parents spank their children -- Whether the parents watch violent television programs or keep guns in the home * Under Steinberg's bill, the AAP guidelines would be used by the Child Health and Disability Prevention program, which is administered by county governments for poor families under the supervision of the state Department of Health Services. Nearly 2 million children are expected to be screened under this program next year. "None of these questions is the government's business. Children should never be put into the position of 'telling' on their parents - especially poor children who may have no other alternative for health screening than unpleasant, oppressive government programs," Hinkle said. "The Senate must kill this bill," concluded Hinkle, "and strike a blow for every family's right to privacy. Let's interrogate violent criminals, not innocent impoverished children." *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] Father's Day '50 Million Round March'
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Father's Day '50 Million Round March' Gun-rights supporters to stage event in support of 2nd Amendment -- -- By Jon E. Dougherty © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com In response to last month's anti-gun Million Mom March held on Mother's Day in Washington, D.C., an Emmett, Idaho, man has proposed a similar "march" of sorts for Father's Day in support of gun rights. Jeff Head, one of the organizers of the 50 Million Round March, is rallying pro-gun fathers and their families to "march" to shooting ranges around the country on Father's Day and fire-off 50 million rounds of ammunition "as a statement in support of the right to keep and bear arms for all law abiding citizens." "The efforts to infringe upon our Second Amendment rights to self defense have been escalating in the recent months," Head said in a statement about why he became involved in organizing the 50 Million Round March. "A veritable chorus from political pundits and the mainstream media are trying to convince us that it would be 'best for the children' to further restrict firearm use and sales by honest, law-abiding citizens." However, says Head, what is best is to allow law-abiding Americans the right to choose their own method of self-defense and family protection -- including the "uninfringed" benefit of the Constitution's 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. "Historically it is clear that it would be 'best for the children' for the people to remain armed. Responsible firearm ownership and use are one of the great hallmarks for American liberty and our unprecedented peace and prosperity as a people," Head noted. Organizers said the event, which officially started Tuesday, had already garnered the support of many websites, gun shops, firing ranges and media outlets. "Honest Americans will continue to be at a disadvantage to armed criminals until the current 20,000 gun laws are repealed," said Libertarian presidential candidate Harry Browne. "None of these laws stops violent crime; all of them intrude into our privacy and our ability to defend ourselves. Thus, I wish the 50 Million Round March well." "They're going to try to fire-off 50 million rounds of ammunition at training ranges across America on Sunday and I'll bet they do it," said Alan Korwin, author of several books on gun law and publisher of Bloomfield Press. "The mainstream media has been silent about it but men everywhere seem to be looking forward to it. It's simple and elegant -- a wholesome family outing in support of the Bill of Rights." The National Rifle Association, in its weekend online NRA Live, provided a detailed report of the Father's Day event, including an interview with Head. "I think gun owners are waking up and realizing that they can't compromise anymore," said Ginny Simone, host of NRA Live's weekend report, commenting on the event. "At this point in American history, the 50 Million Round March is the right idea at the right time," added Aaron Zelman, executive director of the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. "This effort is a very sound but simple idea to send a direct message to all of those who despise liberty. May any such individuals hear the volleys at the firing ranges and quake in their jackboots." The event is also supported by the Second Amendment Sisters, a pro-firearms women's group that held a counter-march to the Million Mom March in Washington last month. "We are pleased to support the idea of fathers and their children coming together to enjoy a family holiday by participating in a shared interest and what, for many, is an honored tradition that has been passed through the generations," said the Second Amendment Sisters in a statement released this week. During the event, shooters from around the country "will safely discharge over 50 million rounds from personal firearms in the space of two hours without harm or injury to those taking part at any official shooting range around the country," said Head. "This in itself will send a powerful message regarding firearm safety and responsible use by law-abiding citizens." Range monitors will be present at ranges to ensure firearm safety, he added. Group organizers said follow-up events -- which Head would like to see annually -- are being planned for Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, New Year's Day and Presidents' Day, along with a yearly Father's Day event. No mention was made of Mother's Day. In addition to target shooting, each event would include a letter-writing campaign directed at congressional representatives and senators, as well as state governors and the U.S. president, informing them of the shooter's participation in the event and their "insistence that infringements on this constitutional right cease." "As a memento of the event, the participants will include either one of their used targets with

Orlin Grabbe/A - Digital Society The Battle for Efficient Stock Markets First we eliminate the regulators. FIVE years from now, the business of trading shares will look radically different. Many old stock exchanges will be gone. The sense of revolutionary change is palpable. Hardly a week goes by without a new share-trading system being launched, or one exchange proposing to marry another. Last month, the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse announced a merger, together with a joint venture with Americas Nasdaq, now the second-biggest stockmarket in the world. Nasdaq has also formed affiliations with stock exchanges in Japan, Hong Kong and Canada, among others. More recently, Nasdaqs great rival, the New York Stock Exchange, said it was exploring the feasibility of a global equity market that would link exchanges in several countries, including France and Japan. The goal of these exchanges is being urged on them by investors and companies alike: a single 24-hour market in which the shares of the worlds biggest blue-chip firms can be traded cheaply and efficiently. Tens of billions of dollars are directly at stake; and the indirect amount is far greater, since equity trading affects investment returns, corporate control and even the whole shape of economies. More and more countries are acquiring the cult of equity, since they have decided that the process of people putting money into the stockmarket and companies taking it out is the best mechanism for allocating long-term capital within their economies. At the same time, the long bull market has brought prosperity to investors, tradersand exchanges. So why is the New York Stock Exchange, the biggest in the world, said to face extinction? The death of the Big Board has, admittedly, often been predicted, by The Economist among others. Doomsters always point to its traditional trading floor, crowded with noisily jostling people, and say that electronic exchanges must offer lower-cost trading. Many of Americas most glamorous new-economy companies, from Amazon and Oracle to Intel and Microsoft, have chosen not to be part of the NYSEs blue-chip roster, listing on Nasdaq instead. The NYSE has, until recently, retained many restrictive rules and practices that have protected it from competition; as they are scrapped, it will become more vulnerable. And it has been very slow to forge alliances or joint ventures with overseas markets, risking remaining an essentially national operation in a rapidly globalising marketplace. The reason for most of these failings is that the NYSE has refused to adapt as markets have evolved. And the main reason for that is that it is under conflicting pressures from its customers and its members. Some big financial institutions are investing in rivals, such as online trading systems, collectively known as electronic communication networks (ECNs). These firms are actively considering shifting some trading away from the NYSE, partly to make more money for themselves. Resolving these conflicting interests has been made especially hard because, like most stock exchanges until recently, the NYSE is mutually owned and largely controlled by those squabbling financial firms. A planned sale of shares in the NYSE, which might have given it a more effective management and governance structure, has been put on indefinite hold. Big Board blues Richard Grasso, the NYSEs chief executive, is not complacent about the exchanges current prosperity. He concedes that the Big Board is vulnerable, a fact he puts down to big strategic mistakes that it has made in the past. But he insists that these do not include the decision to keep the floor. Most other exchanges have, admittedly, scrapped their floors; no new stockmarket has replicated the NYSEs people-oriented trading structure. And the Big Boards plans to build a new floor across the street in lower Manhattan seem to have come unstuckleading some to speculate that the floor may yet be allowed to die. Mr Grasso himself admits only to a concern that the visual image of the floor may not send the right message in todays cyberworld, however good it looks on television. He recalls how, two decades ago, Seymour Cray, father of the supercomputer, suggested that the exchange should cover its floor with another, visible to the public, occupied by computers and serious-looking people in white lab-coats. Yet Cray still wanted shares in his company traded on the floor. And Mr Grasso is adamant that it is the floor, which hosts the exchanges trading specialists, who make markets in particular shares, that makes the NYSE the most efficient trading system in the worldalbeit one, he stresses, that is augmented by billions of dollars worth of new technology. So what does he think were the NYSEs mistakes? One was its lengthy ban on initial public offerings, lifted only in 1984,
[CTRL] PFIR Statement on Electronic Signatures and Documents
Forwarded message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Lauren Weinstein; PRIVACY Forum Moderator) Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 13:18 PDT Subject: PFIR Statement on Electronic Signatures and Documents PFIR Statement on Electronic Signatures and Documents (http://www.pfir.org/statements/2000-06-17) PFIR - People For Internet Responsibility - http://www.pfir.org [ To subscribe or unsubscribe to/from this list, please send the command "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" respectively (without the quotes) in the body of an e-mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". ] 2000-06-17 Greetings. Laws usually tend to lag far behind technology, often allowing problems -- like spam e-mail for example -- to fester until they're impossible to ignore. Then we tend to see some action, with varying degrees of positive or negative results. When it comes to electronic signatures and digital documents, Congress' preemptive attempt at creating an e-commerce utopia, bereft of adequate consumer protections, may instead have laid the foundation for a range of very serious new problems. Both houses of the U.S. Congress have now passed the Millennium Digital Commerce Act. They acted nearly unanimously, and President Clinton is expected to sign the legislation (perhaps by the time you read this). The Act validates the use of "electronic" signatures and documents in place of the written signatures and paper records with which we are all familiar. Such a change has immense, complex, and far-reaching ramifications. A popular adage suggests that "the devil is in the details." This is especially true in this case. In their determination to jump onto the e-commerce bandwagon, Congress has found a convenient method to handle most of those pesky details -- just ignore them completely! As a result, we may have just seen the creation of a new array of risks for businesses and consumers alike, but a true bonanza for the lawyers who will handle the inevitable litigation to follow. Just about *anything* that two parties care to call an "electronic" signature will be treated as valid. Online documents will have the same force of law as paper contracts and records. Remarkably though, the legislation makes no attempt to set any standards for how, or even if, such documents would need to be protected to prevent them from being easily modified by error or criminal design. E-mail, the reception of which is difficult to verify without introducing privacy problems, and which can be accidentally or purposely misrouted, could replace most conventionally mailed notices and other similar materials. The Act fails to set minimum security or other technical standards of any kind. It doesn't even specify how it could be determined that someone had authorized the use of electronic signatures or digital contracts in the first place. Nor is there even a requirement such as the *minimal* levels of communications security, e.g. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), that most people have come to expect from their "routine" Internet credit card transactions. The legislation even requires the U.S. Department of Commerce to become a promoter of this standard-less view of electronic transactions and records around the world. On top of this, the Act appears to effectively prohibit individual states from establishing their own laws to specify meaningful technical standards in these areas. And while you're not supposed to be forced to use these hi-tech paper replacements, how long will it be before you find yourself paying more, perhaps much more, if you choose not to do so? The pattern is all too familiar -- first there will be offers of discounts if you'll give up paper, but all too soon the fees for insisting on paper records and physical signatures will become so exorbitant that most of us will give in, whether we really want to or not. Congress did include some exceptions in their legislation where paper will still be required, including eviction notices, wills, court orders, and some others. Of course, by the time you receive, for example, an eviction notice, a tremendous amount of damage could have already been done. The legislation does not establish any protections, like the existing $50 exposure limit in the U.S. on fraudulent credit card purchases, for these electronic transactions. The Act allows you to dispute the authenticity of particular electronic signatures or digital documents, but this means you have to prove an electronic signature or document isn't yours or is not otherwise authentic. Given the lack of even minimal a priori standards for such materials, this ensures that our courts will have plenty of such cases to handle in their anything but copious free time. We can certainly be sure of one other thing though -- no doubt there are already crooks rubbing their hands together in glee at the prospect of these newly-enabled e-frauds!
[CTRL] A Million Armed Dads
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! A Million Armed Dads By Michael Quinn Sullivan CNS Commentary 13 June, 2000 A gun? For Father's Day?, my wife's friend asked in horror, as the children played nearby. You've got to be kidding! "I'm not," was my wife's reply. "It's what my husband wants as a gift." While it is true I have been hinting - rather strongly - that a medium-caliber pistol would make a delightful gift for dear old dad, I've not been holding my breath. They are a little pricey. As my beloved related the conversation, my amusement at the young mother's horrified reaction to the use of the words "gun" and "gift" in the same sentence, turned to bemusement at the success of the left in distorting the issue of firearm ownership. Otherwise reasonable, clear-thinking Americans have been turned into lap dogs cowering with terror under the bed-sheets. I cannot blame them. After all, we are treated - thanks to the manipulative media - to a daily barrage of horrifying tales of children dying in the streets at a seemingly epidemic rate. The prevailing wisdom in popular cultural - spoon-fed to us by news anchors and prime-time entertainers - holds that a gun in the house guarantees murder and mayhem. If one is more interested in fact than babble, a report issued last year by the Centers for Disease Control entitled "Deaths: Final Data for 1997," makes for interesting reading. It demonstrates the disparity between stark reality and political hyperbole. According to that report, 980 children under the age of 15 accidentally drown, while another 684 died in accidental fires. Meanwhile, 707 kids under 15 died of pneumonia and 2,681 died in motor vehicle accidents. In that same year, 142 children under 15 died from accidental gunfire injuries, while another 348 died in murders involving a firearm. An American child is five times more likely to die of pneumonia than from an accidental gunshot wound, five times more likely to be burned to death, seven times more likely to drown, and 18 times more likely to die in a car accident. Yet what garners more attention? Will we see a "million moms" rallied to stop these tragedies? Obviously not, for such activities are irrelevant to those seeking to empower government and disenfranchise the individual. The real issue for ardent gun-control advocates is not the safety of children, but the dread of a very responsible use. The proponents of progressive government fear a populace that has the ability to defend, with the ultimate action, the philosophy of individual liberty. "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let [the people] take arms." The architect of our Independence, Thomas Jefferson, penned these words in 1787. From time immemorial, elitists have sought to keep people dependent upon them for protection, while unable to revolt. To that end, fear itself has become the weapon of choice; raw, mindless fear, playing to the deepest concerns of every parent, trumping rational thought and experience. "Having guns is scary..." an otherwise reasonable friend tells me repeatedly, justifying severe restrictions on firearm ownership - he would never allow something so "scary" in his home. Yet as Mr. Jefferson suggests, the alternative is scarier. Just ask the millions of Jews slaughtered in Nazi Germany, the blacks in South Africa, the Christians in Sudan, the anti-Communists in Russia, the dead in Cambodia's Killing Fields, and on and on. In the name of upholding the peace, totalitarians always remove weapons from the hands of the people, before initiating reigns of brutality. But perhaps we should not consider such remote eventualities, and worry only about the present, about our family and ourselves. I am happy to oblige. Justice Department statistics reveal that 500,000 times each year, individuals use firearms to ward off attackers. [My comment...I bet the vast number of such defensive manouvers are never reported to the authorities, and hence, do not turn up in Justice Department statistics.] A few more armed dads, it stands to reason, would make our homes and streets a great deal safer. A handgun as a Father's Day present may be unconventional, but my first obligation as a father and husband is to protect my family from the dangers of this world. No one else has that obligation; neither my father, my friend, my neighbor nor the police. It falls squarely on my shoulders, on the man my daughter calls "daddy." If a bear attempts to maul my precious child while we are camping, my happy thoughts about a forest ranger somewhere on patrol will not save her. If a lunatic breaks into our home, I cannot hope that dutifully dialing "9-1-1" is enough to protect my wife. My sense of obligation is too great; my conscience will not allow it. It bemuses and mystifies me that the conscience of other

As with any news pertaining to the "gun problem," the administration paraded out a bureaucrat to call for additional gun regulations. "Despite our success, we must not become complacent," said Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder. "There are still 89 Americans, including 12 young people, dying every day from gunshot wounds." Mr. Holder did not happen to mention that, while gun deaths are down, gun ownership is at an all-time high! "States with the largest increases in gun ownership also have the largest drops in violent crimes," says Yale University's John Lott. "Just as higher arrest and conviction rates deter crime, so does the risk that someone committing a crime will confront someone able to defend him or herself." The Federalist reviewed the latest Centers for Disease Control mortality statistics -- the official statistics used by Clinton and company -- and found a few additional facts worth mentioning. Regarding the accidental deaths of children from birth to age 14, the CDC lists: auto (2,608), drowning (1010), pedestrian (675), bicycle (201), and gun accidents (142). "It turns out that among all the causes of accidental deaths of children, the chances of death by a gun accident are the remotest," notes Walter Williams. Gun homicides in the same age group totaled 346. As for Holder's claim of "12 young people, dying every day," he is including the 17-19-year-old gangsters and drug dealers -- who target primarily each other -- among the "young." For all ages, of a population of 270,000,000, there were 13,522 homicides involving the use of a gun. Tragically, while blacks compose 12.8% of the population, they account for more than 50% of all homicides -- mostly black males killed by black males. Interestingly, the CDC includes gun deaths by "legal intervention" or self-defense among the total cited above. We inquired about the actual number of legal shootings in order to distinguish between those and illegal homicides, and the CDC declined to release that figure. Memo to Reno, Holder et al.: While murders by perpetrators with guns have declined, the CDC's statistics also show that far more high school teenagers are having sex and taking illegal drugs than in 1992. Open Query... "Why does [Village celeb Rosie] O'Donnell give others advice that she doesn't find applicable to herself? ... O'Donnell may be able to afford bodyguards and pride herself that she does not 'personally own a gun.' Yet many other people have just as great a need for protection. Guns are the poor man's bodyguard." --Researcher, John Lott The BIG lie... The Vice Prevaricator has learned the fine art of compound fibbing from a master. For the record, after being challenged March 14 by George W. "to accept my proposal that we both reject the use of soft money to run issue ads," Gore said, "I will take the first step by requesting the Democratic National Committee not run any issue ads paid for by soft money unless and until the Republican Party uses [soft] money for advertising." Later that day, Gore said, "I have just asked the Democratic National Committee not to use any of this soft money until and unless the Republican Party definitely rejects the offer and goes first. And I hope they will hold back and do the right thing because then we can change democracy for the better forever." The following morning, he told ABC's Charlie Gibson, "Last night, I asked the Democratic committee to set aside any soft money and don't spend it on any issue ads unless and until the Republican Party does." Despite his vow, Gore fired the first "soft money" volley last week and Republicans are returning fire this week. News from the Swamp...

About such evidence, Ann Coulter notes, "The evidence that would tend to favor the jury's conclusion that Ricky raped and murdered his stepdaughter include the fact that Ricky has a history of molesting stepdaughters, the girl was in Ricky's sole care when she was raped and murdered, her bludgeoned body was found a few miles from his home, and her blood was on his shoes, his pants and his car. Oh yes, and the ax that killed her was found in the trunk of Ricky's car." BushBits: "Let us resolve that our country will always be prepared to protect our interests. Let us resolve to keep faith with our past by being vigilant in our time." **Does "our past" include "history"? Observation Points: "Bush (declared) that the political philosopher who most shaped his ideas was Christ, 'who touched my heart.' Well, perhaps Christ touched his heart, but how he touched his head went unanswered. Or maybe it didn't. Government's job, according to Bush, 'is to change hearts.' That would certainly surprise our Founding Fathers, who once thought that government's job was to secure the individual liberties of its citizens. You see, changing the heart is the job description of churches, not governments." --Cato's Jerry Taylor From Bore2000 -- The Vice Prevaricator... Clinton/Gore loyalist Tony Coelho is stepping down as Gore's campaign chairman, and Commerce Secretary William Daley will take his place. (Apparently Coelho's second in command, Lesbian Donna Brazile, is bouncing off the Gore campaign's "glass ceiling." Says one campaign aide, "Gore always defaults to the white boys!") Coelho is under criminal investigation for his role as U.S. commissioner general to the 1998 World Exposition. A State Department inspector general's report notes that he obligated the U.S. government for a $300,000 private loan and leased for himself -- at government expense -- an $18,000-a-month apartment. (Apparently Coelho is very, very "compassionate" when it comes to tenant contracts.) National Review reports that Coelho's lawyer Stanley Brand used private investigators to collect derogatory personal information on at least one federal employee cooperating with State Department investigators. "Once again, the politics of personal destruction melds seamlessly with the politics of personal protection," NR concludes. Accepting the post, Daley said, "Right now, I just want to get together with the campaign team and make some judgments." Indeed, the day of judgement is near for Mr. Gore! In other Gorey news, having launched his "soft money" television campaign, Gore was off on his "progress and prosperity" tour this week in the key electoral states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The tour hit a major roadblock at Mercy Hospital in Scranton when Bishop James C. Timlin sent word that "Mercy Hospital has decided not to give Vice President Gore a platform, lest there be any misunderstanding about the hospital's Catholic identity and its commitment to the sanctity of life." Gore responded, "I do support a woman's right to choose, and I make no apologies for that." For some reason, he never can bring himself to say what "choice" he is talking about. Perhaps he is referring to hair color. On tour, Gore doubled his "tax relief" plan, offering $500 billion in targeted tax deductions over 10 years for tuition, the purchase of health insurance and retirement. Such ploys are not "relief" but micro-management of family budgets by the central government. Gore's plan simply proposes to let you keep more of your money if you spend it the way he wants you to. Speaking of prosperity, Gore recently proclaimed from his campaign headquarters in Carthage, Tennessee: "There is a difference between talking about compassion and actually putting your highest ideals into practice." Just a short walk from his headquarters is the tenant slum he rents to Ms. Tracy Mayberry and her family. Two weeks ago The Federalist reported that once the press got word of the Mayberrys' living conditions, Mr. Compassion promised to renovate the "house." This week, that offer has apparently gone the way of his promise not to use soft money to fund campaign advertisements. "I'm packin' my stuff up, and they can take this house and go to hell with it," says Mayberry, who will be leaving her children with relatives while she and her husband sleep in their truck. "We ain't got the money for motels right now," she says, but after collecting her husband's disability check, they will be looking for another residence. Can you imagine what the press would do with this story if Mayberry were a tenant of Vice President Dan Quayle?

[CTRL] Lurid Sex Tales of the New World Order
from: http://www.steamshovelpress.com/latestword.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.steamshovelpress.com/latestword.html"Lurid Sex Tales of the New World Order/A - Lurid Sex Tales of the New World Order by Robert Sterling As George Orwell pointed out in 1984, to control a society, an elite must not only establish the official reality, it must control and manipulate the alternatives. That there is some ritual abuse with a socio-political-economic motivation is difficult to argue against; the theory that it is part of some master blueprint which a secret cabal has long followed as script can't be dismissed; assuming that any lurid tale which proclaims itself part of this sinister plan is pure gospel, especially when there is little or no corroborating physical evidence, pushes the limits of disbelief suspension. In 1998, a woman named Linda Wiegand became well-known in the Patriot community for her supposed tale of having an ex-husband that was, unbeknownst to her at the time, a Satanist abusing her two children, and who now had custody of them due to crooked family court judges in four states. Whatever the vices are of the Patriot movement, one definite virtue is their criticism of the global economic and political structure, which they refer to as the NWO. The Patriot community also includes leading investigators of Satanic ritual abuse, and the community has the populist base that can lead to mass awareness and political change. This would make the movement an attractive target for a disinformation attack. Among those whom Wiegand contacted to help promote her story and agreed were John DeCamp (author of The Franklin Coverup, an excellent expose of a sex scandal in Nebraska), Ted Gunderson (a private investigator in the McMartin Preschool case), Lt. Colonel James "Bo" Gritz (a leader of the Militia movement and the prototype for Sly Stallone's "Rambo" character) and Clayton Douglas (editor of The Free American, deservedly the most popular of Patriot magazines.) All four are men with widespread popularity in the Patriot movement. DeCamp became her lawyer for the case, though he would later resign in disgust over what he concluded were false claims. Another former Wiegand lawyer, Gregory A. Hession of the Rutherford Institute, has stated under no uncertain terms that she is a pathological liar. Douglas would give her tale a Free American cover story, then would later have a second debunking her claims. Douglas concluded that Wiegand was nothing more than a con artist, making up the story to maliciously defame her ex-husband and as a personal fundraising scheme. What is most intriguing is that her attempted enlistment of the Patriot stars mainly occurred after she was temporarily jailed herself on criminal charges. A common technique of law enforcement agencies is to find individuals of dubious character, arrest them on crimes, then offer them immunity if they agree to be used as bait for others. If Wiegand was a bait, she couldn't have found a better fish: in September 1996, Bo Gritz and his son were arrested in Suffield, Connecticut, charged with attempted kidnapping of Wiegand's children, in a plot to save them from Wiegand's supposedly abusive ex-husband. At the time of the alleged crime, Bo and his son were in a parking lot next to the middle school one of her sons attended. They were driving a car registered in Nevada under one of her aliases. As Douglas would later ask, "Some troubling, unanswered questions are: why was Gritz arrested for the attempted kidnapping of Linda's children and Linda was not; and how did the police know that Bo was there in the first place?" One good answer is that the whole affair was a planned sting operation, with Wiegand a willing participant. There is little doubt that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies are involved in a campaign to harass and discredit the Patriot movement. Using the Achilles heel of concern for exploited children, they couldn't have set a better trap. Whether or not it all was an attempt to disrupt the Patriot movement, it certainly worked out that way, putting Gritz in a compromising position, causing a nasty rift between him and Douglas, and smearing by association all who promoted her dubious tale. Speaking of dubious tales, the ones that both Cathy O'Brien and Brice Taylor present are, frankly, implausible and ludicrous. To take them as absolute truth shows the undeniable sign of having a faulty bullshit detector, and endorsement of such tales stigmatizes the endorsers as an unreliable source. The end results of these stories is the same as disinformation. Perhaps it all is unwitting and unintentional, but if it is, it certainly is fortunate for those in the military-intelligence establishment, as the CIA couldn't have planned for it to come out any better if they tried. Take the example of David Icke, a popular conspiracy writer and lecturer. Icke is an extremely

Date: Friday, June 16, 2000 8:24 PM This sounds like a cover story to meanyone know the date of this article. Lloyd Miller - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2000 11:57 PM Subject: ~Global Conspiracy~ AIDS Origins In a message dated 6/8/00 8:19:30 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Study: HIV Began in 1930s Africa By PAUL RECER WASHINGTON (AP) - AIDS evolved from a benign simian infection into a human-killer in the early 1930s, long before it was recognized as a disease, but it stayed in remote Africa until jet travel, big cities and the sexual revolution spread it worldwide, a new study suggests. Researchers measuring the rate of genetic change in HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, found the current strains originated from a common ancestor that first evolved from a simian virus in southwest Africa between 1915 and 1941, with 1931 the most likely year. ``It could have been in humans even before that,'' said Tanmoy Bhattachary, a researcher at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, N.M. The study appears Friday in the journal Science. Bhattachary said the most common form of HIV worldwide evolved from simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV, that was in the chimpanzee. SIV genetically converted to HIV either while it was in the chimp or after a human contracted SIV. The disease did not become a worldwide menace, he said, until people left the isolated areas of Africa and carried the virus around the globe. ``It could have evolved in humans and stayed in a very small population, such as a village,'' said Bhattachary. ``That is typically what most new diseases do. They are in an isolated population and then something happens and it starts spreading all over.'' The findings are consistent with earlier studies that suggested that HIV originated early in this century and then was spread when Africa became less isolated. Bhattachary said the date when SIV first evolved to HIV makes it ``very unlikely'' that a polio vaccination campaign in the late 1950s can be blamed for the rise of AIDS. Some researchers have suggested that a polio vaccine made using chimpanzee kidney cells could have transferred HIV into humans between 1957 and 1960. Although the new research could not eliminate that possibility entirely, Bhattachary said, the fact that HIV originated before the polio vaccine means ``you can probably discount that scenario'' A type of AIDS virus called HIV2, which occurs mostly in Africa, may have originated from sooty mangabeys, a type of African monkey, the study says. But HIV1, the virus that has caused a pandemic, came from the chimpanzee, a primate more closely related to humans. A form of HIV1 called Group M is the major virus spreading throughout the world. It has infected about 50 million people and killed 16 million. Bhattachary said Group M may have crossed over from chimp to humans only once, or evolved from SIV in only one patient. ``Our study shows that the M group had a single origin,'' he said. ``It could have come from one animal or from one human.'' Other forms of HIV, he said, had ``multi-introductions.'' The most common form HIV in the United States, called subgroup B, first evolved between 1960 and 1971, with 1967 being the most likely year, said Bhattachary. Clinical symptoms of what later became known as AIDS were reported in the United States in the late 1970s. AIDS was formally diagnosed and named in 1981. The HIV1 virus was isolated and confirmed in 1983. John P. Moore, a microbiologist and AIDS researcher at Cornell University in New York, said the study by Bhattachary and his colleagues is ``outstanding and significant. They have looked into this very carefully.'' Moore said the findings emphasizes how science needs to be concerned and alert to the risks of cross-species viral transmissions, many of which are lethal or cause serious illness in humans. Another researcher, Jim Moore of the University of California, San Diego, said the Los Alamos study is consistent with his findings that conditions in colonial Africa were ripe, starting in the late 19th century, for a new virus to take hold and spread. Colonial powers forced people out of villages, causing many to live in the jungles, surviving by hunting and gathering, said Moore, who is unrelated to the Cornell scientists. A major food was meat from chimps and monkeys. ``This created conditions ideal for the transfer (of a virus) from chimps and a spread into small populations,'' said Moore. Later, he said, large work gangs were organized to build roads and mines, with some construction organizations promoting

I thank the kind gentleman for passing information on to me re this Lon Tomohisa Hriuchi. Re Now this item here shows that this Horiuchi was trained by Delta Forced, that this man was to be ued only in hostage conditions and also it would seem to me this man is under milimary control. Did he ever fight in a war? Am I prejudiced agains Japanese - you better believe it for I was once virtually traumatized when small after being made aware of a Navy Nurse, whose tongue had been cut out, whose arms had been cut off and who was pregnan, because the Japanese had gotten ahold of her. A once beautiful woman - and this Lon Tomohisa Horiuchi they serves his country? This man is supposedly in the CIVIL SERVICE, not military and he is sworn to uphold the constitution of this country and not murder women holding babies. Is this part of the Japanese mentality - torturring women and children? Is he sad he missed the baby? This West Point "man", if you call that a man.but this record speaks for itself and might expain why suddenly, Clinton give Janet Reno certain powers once delegated to the Director of Defense? Hostage situation? Does this cowardly asssassin think he is a Rambo - did he ever fight in a war? Oh the Asian mind is different from the American mind - in Viet Nam the Kong put $50,000 prices on heads of our pilots and there were poles with heads as decoration of those less fortunate - for they did not have intelligence data as a pilot would. Japan now controls Philippine Island and his Lon Tomohisa Horiuchi is son of military officer - and on who's side did either of them fight. You look at the face of this evil bastard and you can read him and I would say this man is in disguise in the FBI and the FBI is CIVIL SERVICE. This rotten to the core SOB was sent to Ruby Ridge where they murdered a childs dog, and then lay in wait for the kid to appear - now if the kid had been Chinese (this Horiuchi belonged to the Chinese Club supposedly at West Point and Outdoor Sportsman's Club) - so this brave hero, this filthy pig murdered a woman holding a baby, and then was sento to Waco as well and with what orders? FBI trained by Delta and suddenly 8 Delta and/or bodyguards to Clinton involved here are all dead. This country is not at war; we are to defend the borders of this country and the Military is overstepping its bounds. Is this Long Tomois Horiuch part of the UN Multicultural Police Force. Every person connected to Waco and Ruby Ridge should personally sue this yellow assassin and I mean that figurativiy and literally, out of existance. He is Catholic with 6 kids? How nice. Randy Weaver had a little boy, an 8th grader murdered by these people; at Waco babies and little children burnt to death. You think this Horiuchi likes American people - raised in Hawian Islands by Miitary Father and a Catholic? Home schools his children allegedly? Read this crap and judge accordingly. Who is this pig who should be roasted over the ashes of Waco and Ruby Ridgewho took the 5th Amendment and what is the FBI doing turning into a terrorist organization. Stop and think - who was on FBI Hate/Hist list? Well, Moslems, White Christian Males primarily, and members of the Militia who are so infested with FBI - like the guy who set up Waco's son? This son of FBI agent made film of Trench Coat Mafia killing their little classmates with intention to blow up school and FBI sends this kids FBI father into Waco. Little Buford who shot up a schoolroom and ran home to FBI failing to Kamakazeethink that Horiuchi would Kamikazee - hell no, he kills all the witnesses, doesn't he. Are these bastards, these low life murderers, this element alien to America do they opreate on Clinton's "new covenant"remember that one, right out of Hebrews in the New Testament - Gore and Clinton the Sodomist, promied a "new covenant" and we got it didn't we.namely one line: Where there is a testament there must by necessity be the death of the testators... Now the old Assassination Committee headed up by Bud Fensterwald, who some thought was CIA - this group put out word to all researchers - hey you need not be afraid for your ilife unless you would be caled as a witness - and boy if you are, wear a bullet proof dress and don't go near the water, say like Bill Colby and Jimmy Hoffa (now Hoffa might still be alive) and John Paisley, Bud Fensterwalds next door neighbor, CIA, who was found like Colby with the fishies. Like Rosselli and Gianciano and even J. Edgar Hoover who were all to be witnesses...you see nothing is sacred. You call that garbage in the FBI Americans? You call Clinton AmericanWake Up - Its pay back time - and this pig Horiuchi loves to kill Amricans, men women and children and after WWII - maybe he remembered Hiroshima.

The Coastal Post - June 2000 The World Bank Pushes Beef for China By Neal D. Barnard The World Bank has proved again that the pen is mightier than the sword. The sword-in this case a scythe harvesting the grains that have kept the Chinese free of the diet-related health problems plaguing Westerners-was defeated last week when, with the stroke of a pen, the World Bank signed off on a $93.5 million loan to build 130 feedlots and five processing centers for China's nascent beef industry. The World Health Organization would have had it differently. Its figures show that the traditional Chinese diet, rich in rice and vegetables, with little meat and virtually no dairy products, has kept heart disease and myriad other Western health problems at arm's length. An improved food distribution network has eliminated the shortages suffered by some other Asian countries. Today, per capita food intake is actually higher in China than in the United States. Unfortunately, steak, fast food and cheese have started to replace traditional rice and noodle dishes in some regions evenwithout the World Bank's help. Those areas have shown the highest incidence of Western-style medical problems. While smart Americans recognize the need to "Easternize" their own diets with rice, soy products and more vegetarian options, World Bank bureaucrats decided to promote a Westernization of China's diet. Instead of supporting the use of grain as a cholesterol-free dietary staple for people, the grain will be fed to cattle to produce meat. This practice promotes not just poor health, but also the inefficient use of food. Kilo after kilo of grain proteins fed to cattle yield only one-tenth this amount of protein in meat. Of course, the World Bank's efforts to promote cattle farming in China are concerned less with good health than with economic investment. No doubt some cattle ranchers will profit, as they edge out vegetable and rice acreage. But why is the World Bank, so roundly criticized over for years for its self-defeating economic development schemes, falling into the same old trap? -New York Times December 28, 1999 Neal D.

[CTRL] What Came 1st...The Chupacabras Or The Egg? smirk
CHUPACABRAS EGGS DISCOVERED by Patricio Borlone Rojas 14-06-00 10:50 AM I reported from Santiago de Chile last night on the story that was conveyed to me by phone regarding the discovery of "Chupacabras eggs" found between the 12th and the 14th of May. Today (Wednesday) Antofagasta's "Diario La Estrella" was discussed on Radio Pudahuel's morning show: Announcer: "Presence of a strange creature is confirmed. Guards of a security comapny near the sector claim to have witnessed a strange entity on the prowl, and while they were unable to see it entirely, stated that it moved at considerable speed. According to the descriptions found in the area, which are related to questions made by NASA experts to a guard who was a victim of an attack [by the unknown entity], the theory being circulated is that the creature may be female and in search of a place to give birth." Comment by broadcaster Pablo Aguilera: "More properly stated, it would be [looking for a place] to lay eggs, because as far as we know, these strange creatures reproduce by means of eggs... "El Gallinero (the Henhouse), that's what the area is called, thus becomes an area meeting all the charateristics for the beast to settle in. You can still find the sediments of the birds that once inhabited this location [Translator's note: in the late 19th century, northern Chile and southern Peru exported copra--bird droppings--as part of their economy]. That's why it's known as El Gallinero, because it was something of a hatchery and kept the name long thereafter... Comment: "The hole discovered in the area could be a nest that the creature was making to deposit its young, a hypothesis proven by the version given by NASA experts, says the newspaper." Announcer's comment: "Bear in mind that we have already indicated that these creatures--to call them such--would reproduce by means of eggs..let's see, what else does it [the newspaper] say?" Announcer: "The scratches found are only samples of the beast's hasty escape when it was illuminated by the floodlights of the security guards--it can be seen in the photo, there--and the footprints found in the sector are the very same which were found in the commune of Maria Elena last week, highlighting the large size and sharpness of the claws. Let's not forget that a listener told us that it might be a hybrid between a ñandu [S.Am ostrich] and ape (?)... so that's what it would be all about. Well... unfortunately, I wasn't able to get in touch with my friend from Antofagasta, but I'll keep phoning her, perhaps tomorrow... to get some more details... with all the information she sent me, the rest came out rather blurry. Unfortunately it can't be read all that well. Ah, we'll try to decypher it later...

[CTRL] Saudi Arabia-The Texas Of The Middle East
11:29 AM ET 06/16/00 Six Beheaded in Saudi Arabia RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) _ Four Pakistanis and two Bangladeshis were beheaded Friday in Saudi Arabia for crimes including murder and drug smuggling, an Interior Ministry statement said. Three Pakistanis and the Bangladeshis were executed in the central province of Riyadh for abducting and murdering a young boy, the statement said. It said the men had ``bad intentions'' when they abducted the boy, implying rape. When the boy, whose age was not given, started to scream, they stabbed him to death and buried him, said the statement read over national television. Their five accomplices, two Indians and three Bangladeshis, were sentenced to jail terms and lashes, the statement said, but gave no further details. Also Friday, a Pakistani convicted of smuggling heroin was beheaded in the eastern Saudi city of Dammam, the statement said. The executions bring to at least 59 the number of people beheaded in Saudi Arabia this year. At least 99 people were executed last year. About two-thirds of those executed are foreigners. Saudi Arabia is an oil-rich nation of 18 million, about 6 million of whom are foreigners, mostly laborers from the Indian subcontinent. Punishment in Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islamic law and mandates death sentences for murder, rape, drug trafficking and armed robbery. Executions are carried out with a sword in a public square. Human rights organizations have condemned the high rate of executions, saying Islam prescribes using the punishments sparingly. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2567387802-27a A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Electrical and magnetic brain waves of seven subjects under three experimental conditions were recorded for the purpose of recognizing which one of seven words was processed. The analysis consisted of averaging over trials to create prototypes and test samples, to both of which Fourier transforms were applied, followed by filtering and an inverse transformation to the time domain. The filters used were optimal predictive filters, selected for each subject and condition. Recognition rates, based on a least-squares criterion, varied widely, but all but one of 24 were significantly different from chance. The two best were above 90%.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Electrical and magnetic brain waves of two subjects were recorded for the purpose of recognizing which one of 12 sentences or seven words auditorily presented was processed. The analysis consisted of averaging over trials to create prototypes and test samples, to each of which a Fourier transform was applied, followed by filtering and an inverse transformation to the time domain. The filters used were optimal predictive filters, selected for each subject. A still further improvement was obtained by taking differences between recordings of two electrodes to obtain bipolar pairs that then were used for the same analysis. Recognition rates, based on a least-squares criterion, varied, but the best were above 90%. The first words of prototypes of sentences also were cut and pasted to test, at least partially, the invariance of a word's brain wave in different sentence contexts. The best result was above 80% correct recognition. Test samples made up only of individual trials also were analyzed. The best result was 134 correct of 288 (47%), which is promising, given that the expected recognition number by chance is just 24 (or 8.3%). The work reported in this paper extends our earlier work on brain-wave recognition of words only. The recognition rates reported here further strengthen the case that recordings of electric brain waves of words or sentences, together with extensive mathematical and statistical analysis, can be the basis of new developments in our understanding of brain processing of language. *** Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1999 Oct 26;96(22):12953-8 Full text URL:- http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/96/22/12953 INVARIANCE BETWEEN SUBJECTS OF BRAIN WAVE REPRESENTATIONS OF LANGUAGE. Suppes P, Han B, Epelboim J, Lu ZL Center for the Study of Language and Information, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA. [EMAIL PROTECTED] In three experiments, electric brain waves of 19 subjects were recorded under several different experimental conditions for two purposes. One was to test how well we could recognize which sentence, from a set of 24 or 48 sentences, was being processed in the cortex. The other was to study the invariance of brain waves between subjects. As in our earlier work, the analysis consisted of averaging over trials to create prototypes and test samples, to both of which Fourier transforms were applied, followed by filtering and an inverse transformation to the time domain. A least-squares criterion of fit between prototypes and test samples was used for classification. In all three experiments, averaging over subjects improved the recognition rates. The most significant finding was the following. When brain waves were averaged separately for two nonoverlapping groups of subjects, one for prototypes and the other for test samples, we were able to recognize correctly 90% of the brain waves generated by 48 different sentences about European geography. *** __ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] AIDS Origins???
Now I have information that is 70 years old re this "aids", this disease which affects immune system - and sure enough it originated they say in Africa and also was labeled Mediterranean disease - Kaposi's sarcoma involved. But most important this sharing of needles by cocaine users and remember this was 1930 the information I had which I put out in 1985might add Gordon Novel had connections to doctor in Sweden who worked on this stuff which then was being called something new. Well everything old, is new again. Now consider this - the sharing of needles between cocain addicts can cause aids. So if monkies carried aids and mosquitos bit monkies, these ilittle mosquitos have hypodermic stingers that caused Yellow Fever and this new Nile Encephalitis and Encephalitis once was called in medical terminology, Negro Lethargyand this sleeping sickness. So now they say, hey its okaya to dump your 5 year old in a public bath swimming pool now infested with people who are noted for carrying this disease, Aidswould you wash your baby in someone elses bathwater. Oh say - chlorine kills Aids germs? Is that right, but what about mosquitos.and zoos full of monkies out of darkest Africa, from which these disease come. Of the sharing of needles by drug users can cause aids - a mosquito which can cause encephalitis, yellow fever and other diseasses can cause Aids and don't anybody try to kid me abut that one. For as Douglass Campbell MD put it, it is said "a green monkey bit someone on the ass" and boy Aids was born - this was the garbage being put out in the "scienific" journals. How many infected monkies have been brought into America? Look at Africa dying while Mugabee murders the White Farmers, who would feed these people - so Africa will eat less and somebody will steal more diamonds, rubies, beryllium, uranium and goldfor there are deposits there hidden very carefully and these Rhodes Round Table people have the ge-og-graphy on that one. First thing that happens during epidemic Health Department closes the swimming pools...Remember that when you take your babies and children swimming in a public bath house now infested with major causes of disease. Protect your children..and remember the zoo is fully of monkies with lots of mosquitos and horse flies...how many monkies have died in zoos for unexplained reasons. But then too, we still had Dr. Death in South Africa planning and hooked up to California death squads.see the Doctors now involved in genocide? A.

To receive MER regularly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] THE LANDSCAPE OF OPPOSITION By Edward Said "It may seem odd to say so now, but I am convinced that the secular opposition will ultimately win out over its religious opponents... Meanwhile, we can expect volatile times ahead." Israel's defeat in south Lebanon, its hasty withdrawal, and the still turbulent situation created after almost twenty years of a wasteful, incredibly destructive and, in the end, useless display of military power requires sober analysis free of the distortions imposed by the US media. The Israeli military presence in Lebanon was never really about the "defence" of Israel's northern border, but about political objectives designed originally to defeat the PLO, then to change Lebanon's political structure to its advantage, and finally to pressure Syria into accepting its diktats. The first of these succeeded partially, and in 1993 ended up delivering an exiled and sidelined Yasser Arafat as a docile partner with Israel in ending the Intifada, policing the still occupied Palestinian territories, and attempting (so far unsuccessfully) to conclude the Palestinian quest for self-determination to Israel's advantage. The other two policy objectives were abject failures, as witness the crumbling of Israel's mercenary South Lebanese Army (routinely described by the media as "Christian" whereas it was equally if not predominantly Shi'ite), the emergence of Hizbullah with a successful policy of resistance and aggressive counterattack, and Syria's continued refusal to accept Israel's terms on less than complete withdrawal before making any peace deals. The stranglehold on US media perspectives maintained by the supporters of Israel has produced an astonishingly reductive view of reality. Consider the use of the word "defence" to describe Israeli tactics, when it has the Middle East's only offensive air force, nuclear option and military-political apparatus totally supported by the world's only superpower. How can it be "defence" when for 22 years Israel has defied the international community by persisting in its various military occupations, bombing Arab capital cities at will, destroying civilian infrastructures and, in Lebanon alone, causing at least 20,000 deaths and uncounted thousands of wounded, 95 per cent of them civilian? Or take the word "peace" and its cognate, "peace process." Israel has tried to force "peace" on subjugated leaderships in the Arab world, and at the same time has continued aggressive policies of colonisation and annexation that have earned it opprobrium everywhere -- except in the US media, where its ethnic cleansing and systematic discrimination against non-Jews are either overlooked or justified cynically by exploiting Holocaust memories. There is a wider and wider gap in fact between US supporters of Israel and Israeli citizens, a sizeable majority of whom know that in the end Israel must acknowledge a realistic view of its own history and actuality before it can even nominally be accepted in the Arab and Islamic world. No matter how many times deflating phrases like "Iranian-backed" or "terrorist" are affixed by Israel and its media allies to the militias that beat the fabled IDF in Lebanon, there is no way to explain away that entirely local campaign which Israel so conclusively lost. In reality, therefore, Israel's retreat from Lebanon was clearly the result of a determined popular resistance willing to take punishment and make sacrifices. Hizbullah was mobile where Israel's huge armoured and air preponderance were both cumbersome and ineffective (despite the damage they caused), braver and far more resourceful than the disillusioned and frightened foreign troops they faced alongside their treacherous local allies. Since the US media concentrated so one-sidedly on Israeli travails in Lebanon, it was forgotten that Israel had for over 20 years defied the UN resolution enjoining it to leave, and had for years and years imposed a dreadful regime of torture, collaboration and pillage on the long-suffering Lebanese citizens who were there. Rid of this reign of terror at last, liberated south Lebanon is the first challenge to the region's future that neither Israel nor the Arab regimes are likely to meet successfully. The notion that the Arab-Israeli conflict might be ended has so far been based exclusively on what Anwar El-Sadat openly expressed and embodied: the idea that charismatic official leaders

Wright A Semi-Weekly Column of Political Commentary March 15, 1997-March 31, 1997 The CIA, Dictators and Drugs: A Match Made in Heaven OR Watching the Corporate Media Scramble to Protect the Charles Manson of U.S. Government: The CIA Has there been anything more hilarious and amusing in the last few months than watching the Conservative Corporate Press go into blue-in-the-face fits of hysterics about the San Jose Mercury News story describing the connection between the CIA, the Contras, and crack cocaine? I must say, I've enjoyed it immensely. Yes folks, the Lords of the Corporate Press at the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and The New York Times--3 of the most influential government mouthpieces in the United States--have spared no expense in their (futile) attempts to controvert the San Jose Mercury investigative piece by Gary Webb. But, in the process of doing so, these Media Barons have only succeeded in making themselves look more clownish and buffoon-like than even the American people had at first suspected. A case-in-point: In attempting to contradict a mountain of evidence gathered by Webb and The Mercury News from court transcripts, numerous personal interviews, lengthy research, personal contacts, and many other sources; the L A Times, NY Times, and Washington Post have relied on CIA sources--the very organization that was being accused of wrongdoing in the Mercury News piece--to try to prove that there was not a connection between the CIA, drugs, and dictators! As Tom Tomorrow, in his nationally syndicated political cartoon, "This Modern World", recently showed, quoting CIA sources to say that the CIA wasn't guilty of wrongdoing is like quoting a denial by OJ Simpson to try to show that there is no truth to the accusation that Simpson killed two people and used to beat his wife. Such shoddy and deceitful practices are an insult to the American people and a violation of one of the first tenets of respectable journalism, which says that when gathering evidence for a story, you first make sure that that evidence comes from credible sources. The NY Times, LA Times, and Washington Post broke this journalistic tenet, proving themselves to be just what they are: heavily-biased media hacks more interested in protecting power and privilege than in discovering the truth. And what about the CIA? What are the secretive, rightwing thugs and professional warmongers over at Langley, Virginia saying about all this? They're doing what any guilty party would do when caught red-handed breaking the law: they're giving excuses, producing denials, arguing their case, and attempting to convince their powerful friends in Washington to help them make this all go away. But of course, when you've got a long and tortured history of drug running, political assassinations, illegal support of dictators, bloody overthrows of democracies around the world, and random acts of violence and cowardice, as the CIA does (see Killing Hope , by William Blum, among many other books out there, for gruesome details), then that isn't so easy. It's like Charles Manson getting busted in the joint for crack cocaine possession. His denials and claims of angelic innocence aren't going to carry much weight with people. You can think of the CIA as the Charles Manson of our government: they're both loony, violent, unpredictable, and convinced that they are the next coming of Jesus Christ, and thus holy. Both the CIA and Charles Manson are Mass Murderers responsible for the death of many, many innocent people (in the CIA's case, innocent people all over the globe, from Greece to Chile to Italy to Mexico to Nicaragua to Haiti to El Salvador, to ...). Except that the CIA is infinitely more dangerous to innocent Americans and unsuspecting millions across the globe. Picture Charles Manson with an army of secret agents all over the world to carry out his psychotic plans. Picture this Charles Manson with billions and billions and billions of taxpayer subsidized dollars in his personal checking account, to finance his unspeakable acts. And picture this Charles Manson with the full faith and credit of the United States Congress, The President, The Secretary of War, The Secretary of State, The Pentagon, The Department of Justice, and just about every other high ranking government official you can think of. Finally, picture this Charles Manson with full and complete access to weapons of war, including guns, tanks, helicopters, missiles, and bombs; as well as all of the latest in hi-tech surveillance equipment and other tools that we the public haven't even heard of yet. And most frightening of all, picture this Charles Manson with complete immunity from criminal prosecution of any

[CTRL] Fractional Reserve Banking Fraud
This should be helpful in gaining an understanding of the bizarre and fraudulent system called "Fractional Reserve Banking" Regards to All Nakano NOTE: THE FOLLOWING IS FROM: http://www.the-moneychanger.com/html/it_s_funny_money.html "For every $100 depositors place in the banking system, banks can create at least F$7,573.00. Not only can banks create the maximum amount, they will create the maximum, just as long as any demand for loans exists. Why? Banks have every incentive to loan money and no incentive not to loan up to the utter maximum - that's the way they make money. When they loan money, they create the principal out of thin air, then collect back both principal and interest from the borrower. Further, banks will actually create more than the maximum amount the multiplier allows. Why? Because reserve requirements differ according to their categories, and one category requires no reserves at all. _ THE WEIRD WONDERFUL WORLD OF FRACTIONAL RESERVE BANKING -- -- Scrambling to figure out how much currency and coin exists in the United States, I bumped into some very interesting figures. After all, there's no reason to worry about stocking up on cash now in the event of a Y2K bank failure if the system is stuffed full of cash. I am frequently treated pleasure of being derided and ridiculed for my warnings about the US banking system. I keep telling folks that the system is inherently bankrupt, and hence liable to collapse at any time. Since three generations have passed since the Federal Reserve system was fixed like an evil incubus on the back of America and nothing bad has happened (other than two world wars, two depressions, the death of family farming, and a Federal debt the size of Montana, Idaho, and Utah combined), they just laugh back at me. "Never in our lifetimes have the banks been in trouble. You're a Nervous Nelly." American banks operate on a fractional reserve system. When a customer deposits F$100 into his savings account, the bank does not pull down an envelope, write the depositor's name on it, stick in the F$100 bill, and place the envelope on a shelf in the vault. Rather, they credit the depositor's account and get busy loaning out his deposit to borrowers. The banksters know that not every depositor will ask for his money at the same time, so they only need to keep a fraction of his deposit on reserve. Most people think this system is okay. Until they find out how tiny the reserves are. Even people who understand the system don't seem to grasp the reserves' minuteness, measured against the whole system. If you ask them, they typically guess that banks must keep a 10% reserve, perhaps 20%, against deposits. That isn't even close. THE REAL RESERVE REQUIREMENT I love doing this stuff, so I called a helpful economist at the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, and also drew some figures from the St. Louis Fed's web site at http://www.stls.frb.org. To pinpoint the reserve requirement for the banking system as a whole, I wanted to know (1) total required reserves, and (2) total bank deposits. By dividing (1) by (2), I could arrive at the total reserve requirement as a percentage of deposits. Notice that I am a really fair fellow. I am not twisting the banker's toes by using a broad definition of money supply that includes money market funds and pie in the sky stuff like that. Oh, no, even bankers get a fair shake at the Moneychanger. I used the narrow definition of money supply. Watch. Total Bank Deposits (billions of bucks) Demand deposits$407.40 Other M1 checkable deposits245.60 Savings time deposits (CDs) of banks thrifts from M2 M32,936.70 Total Bank Deposits3,589.70 The helpful economist informed me that total required reserves on April 10, 1998 for all banks was $47.403 billion. Now we can calculate the system reserve requirement as $47.403 / $3,589.70 = 1.3205%. What meaneth this abstruse cipher? Well, if every depositor lined up at all the banks tomorrow and demanded all his money, 1.32% of the people would get all their money. On the other hand, all the people could get $1.32 for every $100 they had deposited. This I call a fragile, inherently bankrupt, and calamity-prone system. To make things shakier, I keep reading Y2K articles suggesting that depositors withdraw a little extra cash, just in case Y2K takes down the banking system. Figure it out. With a measly 1.32% reserve requirement no large portion of depositors could withdraw cash from the banks without creating a panic and bank run. If only 2% of depositors withdrew all their money, the banks would fail. If you ever plan to get money out of the bank, you better do it now, while the getting is good. In a bank run, the federal government (guardian angel and loyal slave of the banks) would most certainly declare a
[CTRL] Lazio's Cattle Futures-Type Bonanza
Lazio investments brought sizable profit June 16, 2000 Web posted at: 12:41 PM EDT (1641 GMT) NEW YORK (AP) -- An investment by U.S. Senate hopeful Rick Lazio in 1997 brought him a profit of up to 600 percent in less than two weeks on securities in a company controlled by some of his biggest contributors, according to published reports. In August 1997, the Republican congressman spent $2,300 on securities trades in Quick Reilly, a brokerage, weeks before it was purchased by Fleet Financial Group, The New York Times reported Friday. In what reportedly was Lazio's first foray into high-risk options trading, he unloaded the options for nearly $16,000 on the day Quick Reilly announced it was being bought by Fleet. Lazio's profits were reported Sunday in Newsday after a review of financial disclosure forms from 1992 through 1998. Further details were reported Friday in the Times. Peter Quick and Christopher C. Quick, former senior executives of Quick Reilly, who along with other company executives have donated at least $35,000 to Lazio's campaigns since 1995, said they had never discussed the company's stock with Lazio. Some experts in securities law told the Times that Lazio's entry into speculative options trading, coupled with his sizable short-term profit on the deal and his relationship with company executives, might have led to an insider trading investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission had it been aware of the trades at the time. There is no indication that Lazio's investments attracted the attention of the SEC at the time. He described the investments in disclosure forms in 1998. "These are modest investments, and Rick's investment portfolio has returned about 5 to 10 percent, which is quite modest," Lazio spokesman Dan McLagan said. He said Lazio had made "a number of small investments over the years. Some have made money, some have lost money." Lazio's Senate opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton, had to respond to reports about controversial investments several years ago. She turned a $1,000 investment in the cattle futures market into nearly $100,000 during a nine-month period in 1978 and 1979, when her husband was attorney general and then governor of Arkansas. She was assisted in her trades by an executive of Tyson Foods, which had extensive business before Arkansas state regulators. The first lady said in April 1994 that she did not know whether she should have been required to put up more money, but added that she risked far more than her initial $1,000 investment by getting into the market. Lazio's investment in Quick Reilly constituted a bet on a company over which he wielded influence because he serves on the House Banking and Commerce Committees, and members of the Quick family had been officers of Wall Street's lobbying arm in Washington. In his 1999 financial disclosure forms, Lazio revealed he had purchased more than $15,000 in stock in Goldman, Sachs Co. on the day the investment bank went public. "If I had to guess, he's learning by doing, which is not untypical," said Ronald Roge, a certified financial planner from Bohemia, N.Y., who reviewed Lazio's records for Newsday. "You try a lot of things. You do a lot of trading, until you realize you're going nowhere fast, and there's a lot of expenses involved."

[CTRL] Art of Deception: CIA/Drugs
from: http://www.thegrid.net/clear/drug.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.thegrid.net/clear/drug.htm"Art of Deception: CIA/Drugs/A - The CIA Drug Trafficking Connection The "multinational" business of drug trafficking can be traced back half a century. In 1959 Operation 40 was organized as an assassination unit to kill Fidel Castro. Organized crime leaders Santo Trafficante and John Roselli, with the knowledge of vice-president Nixon, were charged with importing drugs from Laos. Two years later, Operation 40 was replaced by Operation Mongoose, a larger scale paramilitary organization. Its purpose was to land at the Bay of Pigs, and overthrow the Castro regime. The CIA officials who directed Operation Mongoose were Theodore Shackley and Thomas Clines. After the Bay of Pigs, dozens had been indicted for drug trafficking. Start at the Beginning 1. Southeast Asia 7. Morales 13. Cuban-Americans 2. Contra Cocaine 8. Sanchez Family and the Frogman Case 14. Frank Castro 3. Pegasus 9. Honduras 15. Panama 4. Barry Seal 10. Matta-SETCO-Calero 16.

The White House Connection Return to CIA HeaderReturn to Table of Contents The Southeast Asia connection. In the 1960s, the CIA lived up to its name: the "Cocaine Import Agency." The CIA drug connection began with the Vietnam War when Theodore Shackley, along with assistant Thomas Clines, became the CIA station chief in Vientiane and Laos. The CIA's biggest asset was recruiting Hmong tribesmen to fight against the nationalistic Pathet Lao, and Vientiane became the drug capital of Laos. Vang Pao eventually gained a monopoly in the Golden Triangle, where Burma, Thailand, and Laos intersect. In Laos Air America, a CIA-sponsored airline, flew opium out of the Vientiane area. In 1971 alone, 60 kilograms of Laotian opium, valued at $13.5 million, were seized from the suitcase of a Laotian member of the World Anticommunist League, which was headed by General John Singlaub. In addition, General Richard Secord worked for Shackley, and his boss in the middle 1970s was CIA director George Bush. Secord oversaw the transportation of raw opium to locations where it could be processed into "China White" heroin. In a lawsuit, Shackley was charged with selling Laotian opium to Santo Trafficante and that "in return Shackley's organization received a fixed percentage of the income." In 1968, Shackley met in Saigon with Trafficante, Vang Pao, and Clines, and they set up a heroin smuggling ring to the United States. A Green Beret official speaking to Green Beret officers, stated that "Shackley had been responsible for 250 political killings in Laos. In 1969, Shackley was transferred to Saigon. Clines followed him, and both ran the CIA operations in Vietnam. Shackley and Clines set up Operation Phoenix, a program which was designed to "neutralize" or assassinate Vietnamese civilians who were suspected of collaborating with the National Liberation Front (NLF). During the Vietnam war, the amount of heroin which was exported to the United States became so immense that the operations could not remain clandestine. Consequently, in the 1960s, it became prudent for CIA operatives to stash heroin in caskets of dead Americans as well as in body bags, areas which would be least searched. When the bodies of American GIs were flown to military bases on the West coast, the heroin could be easily removed. In addition, boxes and crates, which were sent back to the states, carried heroin and coded labels alerted CIA operatives as to where to look. Top ot page The contra cocaine train. As the war in Vietnam was winding down, Shackley left Southeast Asia in 1972 to head CIA activities in the Western Hemisphere and sent Ed Wilson and Manuel Artime to meet with right-wing dictator Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua. However, Somoza's totalitarian regime lasted only another seven years before being overthrown by the Sandinistas. Two months after Reagan's inauguration in 1981, the CIA launched its secret war in an attempt to overthrow the Sandinista government. Soon thereafter, the arms-drug caper began. The drug of choice in the 1960s and 1970s was heroin -- imported from Southeast Asia. Then in the 1980s, the primary addicting drug became cocaine, and its source was Latin America, the new hub of CIA activities. Ironically, "the war on drugs" became an important part of Reagan's domestic agenda. While the United States sent military aid southward to its surrogates fighting the Sandinista government, the rate of cocaine being transported northward into the

These guys are all in the same bed and in fact pulled in Louis Freeh and Janet Reno gets to sleep at the foot and they rest their feet upon her somewhat ape size body. So where do I get a license to kill? Well you got to join the CIA but remember this bunch is highly overrated and gets most of their "intelligence" out of the newspapers, and their Phi Beta Kappa keyes lost their glitter many years ago.

Anyone who does not believe that this could have happened and that pollution is a necessary part of the controllers planning for making 'necessary' the legislation required to control all of humanity. Stupid people are both cruel and ignorant in that many of them actually believe that the world can become over populated and therefore needs their expertise in murdering the unborn, the aged, and even those that they do not like because of the color of their skin, their religion or some other silly reason. If anyone wonders why aliens are hesitant about landing on this planet, just think of what many humans have done to any animals or human beings that seem to be different than themselves.

Horowitz directs a project that operates a 250-million channel receiver listening for signals from space. ``It could be that the American people are taking two and two and coming up with four,'' said Brian Welch, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. What pleased the space community was the response to this question: ``Do you think there is intelligent life on other planets?'' Sixty percent of the people said yes and 40 percent said no. Marist researchers then asked those who said yes if they thought life on other planets is ``more, less, or about as intelligent as human life on earth.'' The aliens came out ahead on that question, with 47 percent saying they thought extraterrestrial life was more intelligent, 13 percent said less intelligent and 40 percent said it was about the same. By a margin of 86 to 14, people said they thought galactic neighbors are friendly rather than hostile. Despite the positive view of the possibility of life on other planets, the survey found Americans divided on spending for the space program. Forty-seven percent said the government is spending too much, 43 percent said funding was about right and 10 percent said it was too low. Asked if they thought the space program was a good investment, 45 percent said yes and 55 percent said the money would be better spent on other programs. The telephone survey was conducted Oct. 5-7. Marist questioned 935 adults by telephone and the results had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. Broken down by age, people from 18 through 60 were strongly supportive of the idea of life on other planets. But people older than 60 rejected the idea by a margin of 67 to 33. ``The subject has moved a lot in just the last couple of years, said Louis Friedman, executive director of the Planetary Society, whose 100,000 members are strong advocates of continuing research into the possibility of life in outer space. Horowitz said researchers are ``riding along on this wave of technological innovation.'' He said his project listens on 250 million channels simultaneously. The first serious search for signals from space was in 1960 and had just one channel, he said.

The Army at 225: a new patriotism
By Eric K. Shinseki
WASHINGTON -- In two weeks, Mel Gibson's latest movie, "The Patriot," opens
nationwide. Set during the American Revolution, it is the story of a colonist
who becomes a militia leader when the sweep of war and the advance of the
British endanger his farm and family.
Whether by design or mere coincidence, the release of "The Patriot" comes at a
particularly fitting time in our nation's history because this month marks the
225th anniversary of the birth of our Army.
The birth of our nation and the birth of our Army are inseparably linked.
A year before we formally declared our independence, we had already begun
fighting for it at Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill, the
bloodiest single engagement of the Revolution. On that small piece of ground,
over the course of one day, the British lost a staggering 1,054 regulars. The
colonists lost about 440.
After Bunker Hill, the British would never again underestimate the tenacity and
fighting spirit of the American soldier. These early engagements surprised the
British, who saw themselves as professionally trained soldiers and the
militiamen as little more than a disorganized rabble.
But let us not forget that we surprised ourselves as well. Despite our dogged
determination to confront the foe, we were unproven and uncertain of our
abilities. Who could have imagined that our ill-equipped and untrained colonial
militia would fare as well as it did? Our success in those early battles was
significant.
The victories strengthened national pride, engendered new confidence and
bolstered the will to fight. When word spread down the coast that New England
farmers had successfully stood up to the well-equipped and well-trained British
regulars, colonists everywhere were filled with newfound courage and patriotic
fervor. Frustration turned to motivation, and from that point on, the cry for
independence simply would not be quelled.
On June 14, 1775, Congress took the first formal step in the march toward
independence by voting to establish what was then the Continental Army.
In those days, the term patriot more closely equated to insurgent. A patriot
was a revolutionary who promoted the independence of his people from the
country or union of countries that controlled them.
From the British perspective, patriots were criminals; to them, the term was an
epithet carrying the negative connotation of disloyalty. Thus, in 1775, when
George Washington dubbed the original rag-tag band of fighters "the patriot
army," he was making a profoundly political and deliberately inflammatory
statement; this newborn army would win independence for America.
Over time, the word "patriot" evolved to a more heroic meaning -- a person who
loves his country and who defends and promotes its interests. It is especially
applied to soldiers who fight for love of country. Thanks to the success of the
American Revolution, the connotation of that simple term changed from one of
disloyalty to one of allegiance.
Since the end of the Revolution, American soldiers, imbued with the spirit of
the original patriots, have pledged their allegiance to this nation through
their sacrifices in uniform. In doing so, hundreds of thousands of them have
given their last full measure of devotion in ultimate demonstration of love for
country.
Today, thousands of soldiers serve around the globe to maintain our freedom and
to provide the promise of a better life to others for whom liberty is but a
dream. They are the finest men and women the nation has to offer -- active,
guard and reserve soldiers doing the heavy lifting so we can enjoy the comforts
and freedoms of our way of life.
They are unknown to most of us, but they sacrifice daily in places like Kosovo,
Saudi Arabia, Bosnia, East Timor, Kuwait, Korea and Macedonia in order to
promote democracy and to preserve peace and stability.
These men and women are our patriots. They are prepared to defend our country,
and they are also the best ambassadors for democracy we could have, carrying
the same torch of liberty that was lit 225 years ago. In the remotest corners
of the globe, American soldiers command respect because they symbolize the
traits of our forefathers: a passion for liberty and a willingness to fight to
protect freedom.
As we reflect on the Army's 225th birthday, let us remember that with our Army
was born a nation; with that nation was born democracy; and with democracy was
born the hope that peace and liberty could someday be attained by all oppressed
peoples of the world.
Gen. Eric K. Shinseki is chief of staff of the Army.

Sender's Preface to this Post which is a Reply to Mickie: 'The Guinness Book of World Records', for example -- before this gruesome record was inexplicably purged from later editions -- once stated that the "greatest massacre in human history ever attributed to any nation is that of 26,300,000 Chinese ... between 1949 and May, 1965." Even worse are the estimates in the authoritative 1971 Senate Internal Security Subcommittee report entitled 'The Human Cost of Communism in China'. According to this government report, Chinese Communism had, by that time, cost at least 34 million, and as many as 64 million lives.

(1) In addition, the same sources said that during the April 17 Break the World Bank DC protests, "reserve units from the US Army Intelligence and Security Command helped Washington police keep an eye on demonstrations staged at the World Bank/IMF meetings." In addition, the French intelligence service report notes that "the Pentagon sent around 700 men from the Intelligence and Security Command at Fort Belvoir to assist the Washington police on April 17, including specialists in human and signals intelligence. One unit was even strategically located on the fourth floor balcony in a building at 1919 Pennsylvania Avenue with a birds-eye view of most demonstrators." According to the report, information on the protest movements is collected and stored by six Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) centers funded by the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Assistance. Ostensibly these intelligence centers are set up to counter organized crime, drugs and terrorism but it takes no great stretch to comprehend how civil disobedience, once defined as a terrorist threat and/or criminal conspiracy would, or has become a target. According to the Intelligence Newsletter report, "the RISS also act against any political activist group deemed to be a threat and over the last year has found itself focusing on anti-globalization groups." In addition, the report notes that in order "to justify their interest in anti-globalization groups from a legal standpoint, the authorities lump them into a category of terrorist organizations. Among those considered as such at present are Global Justice (the group that organized the April 17 demonstration), Earth First, Greenpeace, American Indian Movement, Zapatista National Liberation Front and Act-Up." Although this story has yet to be verified, given the existence of RISS and the paranoid proclivities of the US national security state and its civil disturbance planning apparatus, we should assume the report is accurate. According to RISS program documents (2), the agency is set up to "share intelligence and coordinate efforts against criminal networks that operate in many locations across jurisdictional lines." The program "serves more than 5,300 member law enforcement agencies" across the country including the FBI, DEA, IRS, Secret Service, Customs and the BATF. It is overseen by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, State and Local Assistance Division, 810 Seventh Street, NW, Washington, DC (202-305-2923). Its immediate overseer is the Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR), PO Box 12729, Tallahassee, Florida, (850-385-0600). The IIR also sponsors the State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training program (SLATT) which provides, via its "extremist research experts", "training and information to state and local law enforcement personnel in the areas of domestic anti-terrorism and extremist criminal activity." (3) The FBI's National Security Division Training Unit is a partner with IIR in providing SLATT training nationally. According to a 1999 Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) report on RISS,the six federally funded Regional Information Sharing System centers are financed "to support law enforcement efforts to combat multi-jurisdictional criminal conspiracies and activities." (4) The six centers, the Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network, Newtown, PA, the Mid-States Organized Crime Information Center, Springfield, MO, the New England State Police Information Network, Franklin, MA, the Rocky Mountain Information Network, Phoenix, AR, the Regional Organized Crime Information Center, Nashville, TN, and the Western States Information Network, Sacramento, CA, are set up in such a way that "each center's staff possess sufficient flexibility to tailor the individual center's priorities and operations to the particular- perhaps unique - needs of the region."

Though this best selling author lived in a state where the sovereign, the people, voted to allow McWilliams and other ill people to use medical marijuana, the federal government persecuted Peter, prosecuting him in federal court for medical marijuana, and a court order denied him the medicine he needed to live. His death is a direct result of the actions of officials of the US federal government. A couple days after this video aired nationwide on ABC's 20/20, McWilliams final book and computers were destroyed in a mysterious fire at his home. Then, 3 days later, despondent and ill, McWilliams' nausea, caused by the regimen of other life-saving medications he was forced to take for his illnesses, overwhelmed Peter and he died from asphyxiation.

Alphabetics Prophecy: 666: Coincidentally Related Scriptural Word and Page Number From http://users.aol.com/s6sj7gt/mike666.htm }}Begin The Number of the Beast Mike Keith The number 666 is cool. Made famous by the Book of Revelation (Chapter 13, verse 18, to be exact), it has also been studied extensively by mathematicians because of its many interesting properties. Here is a compendium of mathematical facts about the number 666. The early ones include some of the old, well-known "chestnuts", but many of the later ones are new and have not been published elsewhere. The number 666 is a simple sum and difference of the first three 6th powers: 666 = 16 - 26 + 36. It is also equal to the sum of its digits plus the cubes of its digits: 666 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6³ + 6³ + 6³. There are only five other positive integers with this property. Exercise: find them, and prove they are the only ones! 666 is related to (6² + n²) in the following interesting ways: 666 = (6 + 6 + 6) · (6² + 1²) 666 = 6! · (6² + 1²) / (6² + 2²) The sum of the squares of the first 7 primes is 666: 666 = 2² + 3² + 5² + 7² + 11² + 13² + 17² 16661 is the first beastly palindromic prime, of the form 1[0...0]666[0...0]1. The next one after 16661 is 1066601 which can be written concisely using the notation 1 013 666 013 1, where the subscript tells how many consecutive zeros there are. Harvey Dubner determined that the first 7 numbers of this type have subscripts 0, 13, 42, 506, 608, 2472, and 2623 [see J. Rec. Math, 26(4)]. A very special kind of prime number [first mentioned to me by G. L. Honaker, Jr.] is a prime, p (that is, let's say, the kth prime number) in which the sum of the decimal digits of p is equal to the sum of the digits of k. The beastly palindromic prime number 16661 is such a number, since it is the 1928'th prime, and 1 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 1 = 1 + 9 + 2 + 8. The triplet (216, 630, 666) is a Pythagorean triplet, as pointed out to me by Monte Zerger. This fact can be rewritten in the following amazing form: (6·6·6)² + (666 - 6·6)² = 666² The sequence of palindromic primes begins 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, etc. Taking the last two of these, we discover that 666 is the sum of two consecutive palindromic primes: 666 = 313 + 353. [from G. L. Honaker, Jr.] There are exactly 6 6's in . After seeing this, I immediately noticed that there are 6 6's in that statement as well! [by P. De Geest, slight refinement by M. Keith] The number 666 is equal to the sum of the digits of its 47th power, and is also equal to the sum of the digits of its 51st power. That is, 66647 = 5049969684420796753173148798405564772941516295265 4081881176326689365404466160330686530288898927188 59670297563286219594665904733945856 66651 = 9935407575913859403342635113412959807238586374694 3100899712069131346071328296758253023455821491848 0960748972838900637634215694097683599029436416 and the sum of the digits on the right hand side is, in both cases, 666.

[CTRL] This Patriot will NEVER support the Demo/Repub Duopoly!
Their supporters are not only Criminals (misappropriation of taxpayer fiat-currency), but they are outright Traitors (who support the actions/inactions of the rapist/slumlord). The only peaceful means left us is the Ballot Box. Come November, don't betray our fallen heroes who gave their last ounce so YOU can exercise your Right to protest the current indignities to our human sense of right and wrong; your Vote DOES count. The Senate is onthe verge of casting our Nation into the deep bowels of Hell. I shutter to think what our future portends with the de-facto recognition of aterrorist Nation which has brought so much misery and death toits People. The increasing arrests of our Patriot Brothers and Sisters is no accident; it is an orchestrated effort to suppress their Rights underour Constitution. If the Duopolyis victorious in November, I predict an major increase in this type of action; your Vote for our Oppressors will have strengthen their will. I urge you with every last breath I have to do the right thing come November. Only four and one-half months are left; more than sufficient time to reflect on the degradation and deprivation of our Freedoms by the Criminals and the Traitors. When your Mother gave birth to you your Parents will filled with Joy and the Future was bright that you would survive to fulfill the unfulfilled dreams of your Parents; You were so innocent! But much water has drifted over the Dam, and you are no longer that bundle of hope and joy. Forces unbeknownst to you are modifying your innocence to mold you into an instrument of Evil. 'Love' cannot exist side by side with a displaced Spirit of goodness, and consequently you will never know the true Love you must first possess toLove others. Recapture the Rapture of the Spirit of Good come November. Bard PS: I so enjoy being able to convey my message of hope for the Future; however, I do have an increasing anxiety that many will optfor the masked gifts proffered by those who connive for your Vote, and promote the fallacy your Vote doesn't count because of the vote fraud perpetuated by the National Election Service, which is funded by the thugs in the four national TV news services; it's just one more means to control you. REMEMBER: TO KEEP THE PEACE, KEEP YOUR PIECE! I, and I am certain others, would enjoy reading more messages from those, who, from their Heart, express their reawakening from their complacency of thePast and their denial of the wrongs inflicted. I love each and every one of you who protect the sanctity of Life and strive to live according to the time-honored Commandments of our forefathers; what possible Good could emanate from living otherwise?

This is not true. You don't know, you haven't been there, I was for twenty years. You are misinformed, it is the controllers of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who misuse our military. We need a strong military to preserve our freedom (such as it is) but we shouldn't be policeman for Corporate thieves. We have no need to be in a foreign country without a declared war. Control of the "Elites" is what we need, not control of the man behind the gun. Perhaps control of the high ranking officers in charge would be the way to do this, but as Congress is corrupt, so are the Generals and Admirals ... most of the high-ranking officers aren't in it for the money, just the power. The elites won't order the military to fight civilians on a large scale because they know they would lose. Members of the military are no longer in the dark. They have access to the internet as provided by the military itself. They can see the different threads. Those of us who were in the military see that things are not as they should be and are prepared (unlike many others) to go that extra mile if we can see the path is straight. I've seen no one on this or any other list who can see the clear way to end the rule by the elites. I see that we need to control the corporations setup by the government, at least till true "free trade" can be established with government neither aiding or discouraging free trade. Corporations as a whole are given a charter by government and are aided by the Federal Reserve and by laws that give Corps a break. The present government does not speak for us, but for the rich, the filthy rich and they preserve the corporations by stealing money from us via taxes and fees and by devaluating the currency. It's all about money for the rich and as soon as we can abolish income taxes, the Fed and hold government to only Constitutional authority, the sooner things will get back to normal ... the way they were more than a quarter of a millenium ago ... small, weak government.

If you scroll down to the Section on The Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U.S.C.1385, then read it, I have the following suggestion: 1. Open a New Text Document, 2. List the cases that you know of where you feel this Act has been violated, 3. Save it. using for an example a filename, PosseComitatus, 4. Then copy it to a MSG to your favorite Discussion List. This could be considered a contribution on your part to inform the many ignorant Readers on your favorite Discussion List of an Act deemed so essential to the preservation of our Freedom. While I'm certain many will disagree with your List of Violations, it would be most interesting to read why they disagree with you, or, hopefully, remind you of blatant cases you omitted. Don't forget to mention in your MSG: why is it necessary for a Sovereign nation like the united States of America complying with a request from a global organization to furnish information on the Civil and Political Rights of its Citizens? In my view, it's no business of the UN to intrude upon the sanctity of our governmental affairs. Being a diverse Nation, Citizens have different views regarding their Civil and Political Rights and some, if not most, are not even aware when those Rights are trampled upon. Of course the Reward for doing this is to see to what extent your opinion is shared by others. I would take these opinions and collate them into a meaningful presentation, listing the most frequently mentioned violation at the top, etc.; would have to have you bcc: me. After doing this I suggestyou return to Article 4 - States of Emergency and read in entirety.

Have your Teachers ever instructed your Class about the The Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U.S.C.1385?

The report was submitted in July to the U.N. Human Rights Committee established by the Covenant. This is also the first report submitted by the United States in accordance with its obligations under an international human rights treaty. Written to United Nations specifications, and prepared through the collaborative efforts of the U.S. Departments of State, Justice and other Executive Branch departments and agencies, with input from nongovernmental organizations and concerned individuals, it represents a government-wide commitment to creative interaction with the emerging global framework of international human rights law. It is meant to offer to the international community a sweeping picture of human rights observance in the United States and the legal and political system within which those rights have evolved and are protected. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - John Shattuck Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Article 4 - States of Emergency Unlike many countries, the United States does not have a constitutional or legal regime either for declaring "states of emergency" or otherwise for imposing emergency rule by the executive branch. The U.S. military does not exercise criminal jurisdiction over civilian persons within the United States. Federal Level. The U.S. Constitution and implementing federal statutes do authorize the President in limited and clearly defined circumstances to use federal troops to control domestic violence, suppress insurrections and enforce federal law. These laws do not, however, authorize the executive branch to suspend or interfere with the normal operations of the other branches of the national government (the Congress and the judiciary) or to permit derogations from fundamental rights. Indeed, with only one limited exception (the right of habeas corpus, which Congress may temporarily suspend when public safety so requires), constitutional rights remain in effect at all times. Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution imposes on the federal government the obligation to protect a state "on Application of the [State] Legislature, or of the [State] Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." Article I, Section 8 authorizes the Congress "[t]o provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasion." This is the

[CTRL] Lift the sanctions and rebuild Yugoslavia
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU -Original Message- From: john_peter maher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, June 18, 2000 6:01 PM Subject: [Fwd: Lift the sanctions and rebuild Yugoslavia] Lift the sanctions and rebuild Yugoslavia by Renee Sams MORE and more people are becoming alarmed about what is happening in Kosovo and Serbia. The "peacekeeping" Kfor forces, far from helping are only exacerbating the situation and sanctions against Yugoslavia are causing a humanitarian disaster. On Wednesday 7 June, Alice Mahon, MP chair of the Committee for Peace in the Balkans, and representatives from local campaign groups around the country, together with Anglo-Yugoslav Medical Aid, delivered a 10,000-signature petition to the Prime Minister. The petition called upon the government to lift the economic sanctions and provide financial assistance to 'fund the reconstruction of the civilian infrascructure of the whole of Yugoslavia.' It also wants 'urgent humanitarian assistance on a non-discriminatory basis co the whole of Yugoslavia and to all refugees. Speakers from China, France, Germany, Greece, and Sweden, attending last Saturday's international conference in London's Conway Hall organised by the Committee for Peace in the Balkans, testified to the growing concern of ordinary people about the situation in the Balkans. Greetings to the conference were received from the International Action Centre in New York expressing their support and noting that on the same day che Independent Tribunal on US/Nato War Crimes Against Yugoslavia, called by Ramsey Clark, former Attorney General of the United States, will be meeting in New York City. Their message said they expected the final meeting of the Tribunal to show chat "US political and military leaders, and their co-conspirators in the Nato countries, are guilty of crimes against peace, against humanity, and war crimes". Tony Benn MP, who has supported the Committee for Peace in the Balkans from its beginning, said chat despite the growth of the campaign, which has packed halls at every meeting," it has been completely ignored by the British media". He felt this was because what the Committee for Peace in the Balkans had said right at the start had all unfortunately come true. "This was not humanitarian in planning or in execution", he said, and "it was aimed to make Nato the dominant force in the Balkans with a view to extending that worldwide". Playwright Harold Pinter also had no hesitation in condemning Nato for "its policy to terrotise the civilian population". And he said, "it must be recognised or what it is -- a brutal malignant military machine". Karin Wegestal, on behalf of the Swedish Committee for Solidarity with the Yugoslav People, spoke of the plight of Yugoslavia, a country of about 1O million inhabitants, which "during the last decade has received more than 500,000 refugees from Croatia and Bosnia" -- a burden made heavier by an "influx of 300,000 displaced persons from Kosovo". "In addition", she said, "Yugoslavia has been the subject of sanctions from the western powers for close to ten years and its infrastructure was badly hurt through Nato's 78-day intense bombardment in 1999. The result is that today Yugoslavia is the poorest country in Europe". She told the conference that an appeal against sanctions published in Sweden was signed by representatives of various political parties, former government members, bishops, priests, scholars and writers, athletes, and many other people representing broad political and social opinion, and showed the bredth of support against Nato actions. From Greece, Yannis Dragassakis of SYNAPISMOS (Coalition of the Left and Progress), former tnember of the Greek Parliament, called the bombing of Yugoslavia "illegal and inhuman" and had also "proved to be a failure militarily as well as politically". His party also held the view chat the Nato bombing was "a violation of international law . . . being done without a decision by the United Nations Security Council and in violation of the basic principles of its Charter". He went on to say that he did not believe the US and Nato have "the credentials to present themselves as the standard-bearers of peace and justice given their record of support to authoritarian regimes and their toleration of flagrant violations of human rights in many countries". Michael Gavrilovic, co-chair of the British-Serbian Alliance for Peace, noted the growing number of people who are now posing questions about Nato's role in the Balkans. He reminded the audience that "Yugoslavia is a small country but it held out against Nato bombing for 78 days and not many countries could hold out that long". During those days Nato new 37,000 sorties, and fired over 10,000 cruise missiles "in order to smash the infrastructure of Yugoslavia". On the platform as well, was Diana
[CTRL] NATO Willfully Triggered An Environmental Catastrophe In Yugoslavia
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU The URL for this article is http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/chuss/willful.htm NATO Willfully Triggered An Environmental Catastrophe In Yugoslavia by Michel Chossudovsky (6-18-00) Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa, author of "The Globalization of Poverty, Third World Network, Penang, Zed Books, London, 1997. By using thermal images, NATO was able to identify which of the tanks were still filled with toxic chemicals. If NATO's objective were to solely disable the plant without the risk of "collateral" environmental damage, they could have done it by smart bombing the equipment and machinery. Why did they also need to hit with utmost accuracy the tanks containing noxious liquids? The "smart bombs" were not dumb; they knew where to go. NATO had singled out the containers, tanks and reservoirs, which still contained toxic materials. According to the Pancevo plant director, NATO did not hit a single empty container. "This was not accidental; they chose to hit those that were full and these chemicals spilled into the canal leading to the Danube." The air raids on the Pancevo industrial complex located in the outskirts of Belgrade started on April 4th 1999 and continued relentlessly until the 7th of June. The Pancevo complex included an oil refinery facility (built with technical support from Texaco) and a Nitrogen Processing Plant producing fertilizer for Yugoslav agriculture. The petrochemical plant was bombed extensively (41 bombs and 7 missile attacks). The bombed areas of the complex were less than two hundred meters from residential buildings. At the outset of the "humanitarian air raids -- in a well-led public relations stunt -- NATO had reassured World opinion " that "precise targeting" using sophisticated weaponry was intended to avoid "collateral damage" including environmental hazards: "We do everything we possibly can to avoid unnecessary collateral damage. We take it very seriously, work very hard at doing that, spend a lot of time planning for the missions."1 At Pancevo, however, exactly the opposite occurred. "State of the art" aerial surveillance and thermal detection systems were not only used to disable and destroy Yugoslavia's petrochemical industry; they were willfully applied to trigger an environmental disaster. At the beginning of the war, workers at the plant had been actively involved in removing toxic materials from the site, emptying several large tanks and containers of toxic chemicals precisely to avert the risks of "collateral damage." They did not realize NATO was watching them through air-to-ground surveillance systems as well as satellite images. Using thermal detection, NATO military planners knew which of the containers had been emptied and which remained full. How does that work? All objects including the containers of toxic chemicals in the Pancevo plant emit infrared radiation. A thermal imager from a spy satellite or an aircraft can detect infrared radiation and convert its readings into a high-resolution video or snap picture. The thermal imager can detect temperature differentials as small as 0.1 degrees centigrade which enables it to distinguish without difficulty between full and empty containers. The thermal images can be generated from a device installed on the fuselage of an aircraft. NATO warplanes were equipped with various advanced imaging systems including just such infrared/electro-optical sensors. Moreover, multispectral thermal imaging satellite systems routinely used during the Gulf war were also used by NATO in Yugoslavia. Thermal satellite images were relayed to the Combined Air Operations Centre (CAOC) in Vicenza, Italy where the bombing raids weere carefully planned. U2 spy planes were also used: In the words of a Pentagon spokesman, the U2 "snaps a picture from very high altitude, beams it back in what we call a reach-back, to the States where it is very quickly analyzed." And from there, "the right targeting data" is relayed to the CAOC base in Vincenza which then "passes [it] on to people in the cockpit". 2 NATO planners also had detailed information on the layout of the plant, which had been built on contract with a US multinational engineering company Foster Wheeler (a firm specializing in the construction of petrochemical and polymer plants). NATO knew exactly where things were. In a cruel irony, US investment in Yugoslavia (financed with loans from the World Bank) was being demolished by Uncle Sam. Did the pilots sitting in the cockpit know that they were bombing a plant which was "Made in America?" A large number of the containers had been emptied. By using thermal images, NATO was able to identify which of the tanks were still filled with toxic chemicals.

[CTRL] UPDATE: June 29th conference (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 11:47:42 -0700 From: American Patriot Friends Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: UPDATE: June 29th conference THIS MESSAGE POSTED TO APFN MESSAGE BOARD: http://www.InsideTheWeb.com/mbs.cgi/mb1075995 Click these dads and find the lad. http://movies.warnerbros.com/fathersday/main.html Original Message Subject: UPDATE: June 29th conference Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 07:32:18 -0400 From: Robert Schulz [EMAIL PROTECTED] We're sorry if you have already received this message. Many of you reported that you received "an e-mail without text." All we could do was resend the message to everyone. The purpose of this message is to update everyone on developments regarding the June 29th Conference. The June 29th conference is definitely on. It's a go. Howard Phillips and Edwin Vieira have agreed to attend and speak. Alan Keyes and Pat Buchanan are seriously considering doing the same. A close personal friend of Ron Paul's delivered a note to his home encouraging him to attend. Here is a full court press on to have these and other notables attend. The most interesting news of the day is that we have gotten the attention of Bill Gates' personal secretary, who received an invitation from some of you.She has asked that we fax the details of the issue and the conference to her. She said, "As soon as I receive the fax I will put it in Mr. Gates' hands and he will read it." It would be nice if Bill Gates would attend the Conference, listen to the speakers and then announce that if the government is not interested in having expert constitutional scholars and historians review the research of Benson, Banister, Becraft, Bosset and Conklin, he (Bill Gates) is, and that he would help underwrite such a review. A two-page ad (center fold) regarding the June 29th conference will appear in the Washington Times, national weekly edition, which will arrive in mailboxes on Monday, June 19th. The heading of the ad will stretch across the two pages and will read, "Dear Government: Why won't you answer?" It will feature the three propositions on the unconstitutional and illegal income tax system, the quote by the White House, "The legality of the income tax is not a high priority item at the White House and we will not participate in any conference on the subject," the events leading up to the government's reneging on its promise, an open invitation to Clinton, Lott and Hastert to send their experts to the conference to argue in opposition to the propositions and a second open invitation to a ll members of congress, presidential candidates, constitutional scholars, professors, historians, judges, attorneys, columnists and anyone else who has spoken publicly about the unconstitutionality or illegality of t he income tax and wishes to argue in support of the three propositions. Everyone needs to continue contacting these people to encourage them to attend the conference.You are making a difference. Keep the requests flowing. For those who are not subscribers to the weekly national edition of the Washington Times but would like to receive a copy of the ad, send a request to Jon Spokes at [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the Advertising Manager. He told me he would be seeking approval to offer a deep-discounted rate for a trial (short-term) subscription of the Washington Times for anyone asking for the issue with the We The People Ad. Does anyone know the name of, and how to contact the juror who spoke publicly last week after the jury acquitted Whitey Harrell of willful failure to file? Apparently, the jury acquitted Whitey after the jury asked the judge to cite the law that required Whitey to file and pay the income tax, and the judge wouldn't answer their question.. We'd like to pay that juror's way to the Conference. There is a good chance C-SPAN will cover the event. The juror's story needs to be told on national TV. We would like to see a full room at the conference, reflecting the fact that, even if the government doesn't think so, the people believe the question of the unconstitutionality of the income tax and the legality of the operations of the income tax system to be of the utmost importance, and the government's vading of the question cannot be long tolerated if Americans are to be free. Everyone is encouraged to make the personal and financial sacrifice to attend the June 29th Conference. The agenda is obviously still "under construction." We have reserved the main ballroom at the National Press Club for the whole day. However, until we know more about the potential requirements of Keyes, Buchanan, Paul, Gates and others who may want to speak, we are not able to schedule the hours of the conference, the order of the speakers, etc. We would prefer to limit the conference to three or four hours. We will have a press release ready early next week, as well as model letters to the editor. We need to wait to see who steps forward as a result of our ad

Title: Department of State Publication 7277 Department of State Publication 7277 THE UNITED STATES PROGRAMFOR GENERAL AND COMPLETE DISARMAMENTIN A PEACEFUL WORLD DEPARTMENT OF STATE DEPARTMENT OF STATE PUBLICATION 7277Disarmament Series 5Released September 1961 Office of Public ServicesBUREAU OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. GovernmentPrinting Office, Washington 25, D.C. - Price 15 cents INTRODUCTION The revolutionary development of modern weapons within a world divided by serious ideological differences has produced a crisis in human history. In order to overcome the danger of nuclear war now confronting mankind, the United States has introduced, at the Sixteenth General Assembly of the United Nations, a Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. This new program provides for the progressive reduction of the war-making capabilities of nations and the simultaneous strengthening of international institutions to settle disputes and maintain the peace. It sets forth a series of comprehensive measures which can and should be taken in order to bring about a world in which there will be freedom from war and security for all states. It is based on three principles deemed essential to the achievement of practical progress in the disarmament field: First, there must be immediate disarmament action: A strenuous and uninterrupted effort must be made toward the goal of general and complete disarmament; at the same time, it is important that specific measures be put into effect as soon as possible. Second, all disarmament obligations must be subject to effective international controls: The control organization must have the manpower, facilities, and effectiveness to assure that limitations or reductions take place as agreed. It must also be able to certify to all states that retained forces and armaments do not exceed those permitted at any stage of the disarmament process. Third, adequate peace-keeping machinery must be established: There is an inseparable relationship between the scaling down of national armaments on the one hand and the building up of international peace-keeping machinery and institutions on the other. Nations are unlikely to shed their means of self-protection in the absence of alternative ways to safeguard their legitimate interests. This can only be achieved through the progressive strengthening of international institutions under the United Nations and by creating a United Nations Peace Force to enforce the peace as the disarmament process proceeds. There follows a summary of the principal provisions of the United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. The full text of the program is contained in an appendix to this pamphlet. FREEDOM FROM WAR THE UNITED STATES PROGRAMFOR GENERAL AND COMPLETE DISARMAMENTIN A PEACEFUL WORLD SUMMARY DISARMAMENT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES The overall goal of the United States is a free, secure, and peaceful world of independent states adhering to common standards of justice and international conduct and subjecting the use of force to the rule of law; a world which has achieved general and complete disarmament under effective international control; and a world in which adjustment to change takes place in accordance with the principles of the United Nations. In order to make possible the achievement of that goal, the program sets forth the following specific objectives toward which nations should direct their efforts: The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force; The elimination from national arsenals of all armaments, including all weapons of mass destruction and the means for their delivery, other than those required for a United Nations Peace Force and for maintaining internal order; The institution of effective means for the enforcement of international agreements, for the settlement of disputes, and for the maintenance of peace in accordance with the principles of the United Nations; The establishment and effective operation of an International Disarmament Organization within the framework of the United Nations to insure compliance at all times with all disarmament obligations. TASKS OF NEGOTIATING STATES The negotiating states are called upon to develop the program into a detailed plan for general and complete disarmament and to continue their efforts without interruption until the whole program has been achieved. To this end, they are to seek the widest possible area of agreement at the earliest possible date. At the same time, and without prejudice to progress on the disarmament program, they are to seek agreement on those immediate measures

[CTRL] Sect Member Said Injected With Drug
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp- srv/aponline/2618/aponline073217_000.htm Sect Member Said Injected With Drug The Associated Press Sunday, June 18, 2000; 7:32 a.m. EDT BEIJING A follower of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement died after his release from detention in a psychiatric hospital, where he was injected with nerve-destroying drugs, a human rights group said Sunday. Su Gang, a 32-year-old computer engineer, was in fine health before he was sent to the hospital on May 23 but was weak, slow, stiff-limbed and unable to eat when he was released eight days later, the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said, quoting Su's father, Su De'an. Su died of heart failure on June 10, less than two weeks after his release, the Hong Kong-based Information Center said. While detained in the hospital, Su was forcibly given daily injections of nerve-damaging medicines, it said. An employee at the petrochemical company in eastern Shandong province where the Information Center said Su worked confirmed he died about a week ago. But the employee, who in a telephone interview gave only his surname, Zhang, said that the company suppressed news of Su's death and that he had no detailed information. An official at the psychiatric hospital where Su was held said he was discharged earlier this month in good health. She refused to give her name. The Information Center said at least 22 Falun Gong practitioners have died of mistreatment and other reasons since the Chinese government banned the group last July as a threat to public well- being and to the authority of the ruling Communist Party. -- Kathleen The Verdict: "Only poor men get hanged." - G.

[CTRL] UEFA threatened to kick England out of Euro 2000 today
You mean England is in trouble for not forcing the Cheech and Chong ordinance ??? that everyone should smoke marijuana before going to the game, to deter the possibility of violence? http://abcnews.go.com/sections/sports/DailyNews/hooliganism_000618.html UEFA Blames British Government for Not Taking Appropriate Measures Soccer fans being sprayed by a Belgian riot police water cannon after trouble broke out in the center of Charleroi prior to the Euro 2000 Soccer Championships match between England and Germany. (Peter Dejong/AP Photo) L I E G E, Belgium, June 18 UEFA threatened to kick England out of Euro 2000 today following two days of street violence by hooligans in Belgium and slammed the British government for failing to stop them traveling abroad. UEFA made it clear England would face expulsion from Euro 2000 if there was a repeat of violence at the three-week tournament in Belgium and the Netherlands and called on Britain to take urgent action against its hooligans. UEFAs Chief Executive Gerd Aigner delivered the warning at a news conference after an emergency meeting of the UEFA executive to discuss two days of violence in Charleroi and Brussels before, during and after Englands match with Germany in Charleroi on Saturday. Blight on the National TeamAigner said in a prepared statement: UEFA will have to determine whether the presence of the English national team at this tournament may be maintained should there be a repetition of similar incidents. He condemned the violence and said: English hooligans are a disgrace to their country and a blight on the national team. Their actions over the last 48 hours have left a scar on the tournament and left us wondering why more wasnt done to prevent them from travelling. The scenes of the last two days cannot be allowed to continue. The English Football Association said it was concerned at the way UEFA had made its decision and added that most of the offenders had been previously unknown to the authorities. The question of how far the FA is responsible for so-called fans is a matter we will seek to discuss at an urgent meeting we will be requesting with Gerd Aigner tomorrow. Next Match in CharleroiEngland beat Germany 1-0 in Charleroi to give themselves a good chance of reaching the last eight of the tournament where they would play Italy in Brussels. Englands next match is against Romania in Charleroi on Tuesday. More than 900 fans, mostly English, were arrested amid ugly scenes in Brussels and Charleroi on Friday and Saturday and 390 England supporters and 31 Germans were deported on Saturday with more being expelled today. Every other government concerned with the competition took steps to stop known trouble-makers from travelling except the British Government, Aigner told Reuters later. The German Government worked for a year to prevent their worst offenders from leaving Germany. Now the UK Government owes it to everyone concerned to take steps, similar to those taken in other parts of the EU, to stop these so-called fans from travelling abroad. We cannot allow more people to spoil international tournaments for genuine fans. Other governments have shown it can be done and we call on the UK government to take the necessary steps as a matter of urgency. Its Killing FootballUEFA President Lennart Johansson said: This cannot go on any longer, it is killing football. What has happened has come as no surprise to anyone, it has been going on for 30 years and nothing has changed and we cannot accept it any longer. UEFA vice-president Egidius Braun, president of the German Football Association, said: When we told the British Government what we were doing in Germany, the Home Officer minister Jack Straw attacked me and said he was powerless to bring in laws to stop people traveling abroad. He tried to turn this into a political football as if it was another important match between England and Germany. But it was crystal clear what had to be done. He knew what would happen. Why didnt he do what every other government minister in his position did? We worked for a year with 2,000 policemen to stop the hard-core from traveling. We confiscated their passports and, if we could, we put them in prison. We are in the EU, we have the same laws and rules as everyone else why couldnt the British Government do the same? The outbreak

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/biotechgoats000618.html The Associated PressP L A T T S B U R G H, N. Y., June 18 About 150 goats that have been bred with a spider gene are to be housed on 60 acres of a former Air Force base here. Montreal-based Nexia Biotechnologies, Inc., plans for the goats to arrive Tuesday. The company said up to 1,500 genetically-altered goats may eventually live there. Fifteen weapons-storage buildings were converted by adding light and feeding water lines into animal holding pens for the project. We feel the site ... is a real adequate site and is in a very secure setting, Isabelle Trombley-Summers, Nexia site director of agricultural affairs, told the Plattsburgh Press-Republican. The goats have been bred with a spider gene so their milk provides a unique protein. The company then plans to extract the protein from the milk to produce fibers called BioSteel for bulletproof vests, aerospace and medical supplies. Spider silk has a unique combination of strength and elasticity with an ultra-lightweight fiber. Spinning a Profitable Web Last year, Nexia obtained the exclusive right to patents resulting from spider silk research at the University of Wyoming. The agreement included an up front payment for the university, funding for research and development expenses plus royalties on the sale of silk-based products. In January, Nexia announced the birth of two BioSteel goats. Initially, Trombley-Summers said, Nexia will have a conventional breeding facility at the Plattsburgh Airbase Redevelopment Corp. site, with bunkers housing both male and female goats. About five people will be employed there. The goats will usually remain in pens and the building will be fenced into separate areas that allow them to exercise and go outside for light, Trombley-Summers said. Trombley-Summers assured Plattsburghs Town Planning Board that they will maintain high environmental standards at the facility and have spoken with the State Department of Environmental Conservation about the operation. Theres no problem with that, Codes Enforcement Officer Donald Lee said of environmental and health standards. He said theres enough room to spread goat manure, and the goats wont be near the Saranac River or any streams. State DEC officials did not return calls placed over the weekend.

The charred body of James Andanson, a leading paparazzo who hounded Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed in the days before their deaths in Paris, was found by soldiers on military exercise in a burnt-out car near the village of Nant. Andanson, 54, was initially a suspect in the criminal inquiry by French police into the car crash which killed Diana, Dodi and Henri Paul, their driver, in August 1997. He and his family were questioned about his involvement with the pack of photographers that trailed the couple as they holidayed in the Mediterranean in the week before the crash. Andanson was also quizzed about his ownership of a white Fiat Uno, of the sort that clipped the princess's Mercedes as it sped into the Alma tunnel, where the accident occurred. Although the car and its driver have never been traced, Hervé Stéphan, the judge investigating the crash, concluded that the presence of a white Fiat Uno was a significant cause of the tragedy. Detectives are puzzled by Andanson's death, which they say occurred in a "very discreet and isolated" woodland in the Aveyron region of southwestern France. His body was said to have been burnt almost beyond recognition. Although found four weeks ago, Andanson was formally identified by DNA tests only last week. He had been missing since leaving his Paris home at the beginning of last month. This weekend police said they had not ruled out foul play. Lieutenant-Colonel Gerry Plane said that although Andanson had been showing serious suicidal tendencies, there would always be doubts about his death. Extracts from confidential police files obtained by The Sunday Times show that detectives established that Andanson was in possession of a white Fiat Uno at the time of the crash in August 1997. Detectives said, however, that the paint on Andanson's Fiat did not match that recovered from the scrape marks on the Mercedes. The car was seized by police five months after the crash from a car dealer, to whom Andanson had sold it in October 1997. It was of such interest to Mohamed al-Fayed, Dodi's father and the owner of Harrods, that a detective working for him took photographs of it and offered to buy it. Andanson's son, also called James, said last week that his father never spoke about the Paris crash. "At the moment, we don't know why my father died," he said. Copyright 2000 Times Newspapers Ltd.

Date: Friday, June 16, 2000 8:26 PM - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2000 4:55 AM Subject: Global Conspiracy World's Blood Suppy Contaminated More than half of the world's countries fail to perform full tests on donated blood, increasing the risk of spreading AIDS and other diseases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). From five to ten percent of people with the AIDS virus are estimated to be infected via blood transfusions. A reliable and safe blood supply is still out of reach for millions of people around the world because of lack of commitment and support on the part of many governments. Annually, more than 13 million units (pints) of blood, almost one-fifth of the world's annual consumption, are not tested for all infections that could be transmitted by transfusions. In addition to AIDS, many other diseases -- such as hepatitis B and C, malaria and syphilis, can be transmitted through transfusions. Each year, unsafe transfusion and injection practices are estimated to account for 8 million to 16 million hepatitis B infections, 2.3 to 4.7 million hepatitis C and 80,000 to 160,000 HIV infections. WHO concedes that blood testing is expensive, costing between $40 and $50 per unit. It also is not always reliable, if carried out by inadequately trained staff or with inadequate equipment. WHO hopes to change this by helping countries install national blood safety programs.

an excerpt from: Treason's Peace Howard Watson Armbruster©1947 A Crossroads Press Book Beechurst Press New York 438 pps. -- First/Only Edition -- Out-of Print - CHAPTER XVII Alibis and Excuses FRANK A. HOWARD, who conducted so many of the negotiations with Farben, wrote his Standard Oil colleague E. J. Sadler, on February 6, 1940, that Germany's policy for fifteen years had been the exporting of patent rights, "resulting from their learning that, if they did not . . . secure their exploitation. abroad by appropriate deals, un-licensed competition would pirate the new processes, leaving the originators neither an export market nor anything to sell in the way of patent rights or technique." This comment illustrates the absurdity of the alibi that our industrialists entered into illegal agreements with Farben because they were farsighted and, had they not done so, the United States would not have derived the great benefits from the Farben patents covering dyes, drugs, explosives, magnesium alloys, rayon, synthetic rubber, plastics, etc. These disingenuous sophistries have been broadcast most assiduously by Farben's American cohorts since the exposure of the character of their agreements, and the resulting injury to our national defense. Possibly the most widely publicized of these excuses was the so-called official press release already discussed in Chapter IX which was prepared by Tommy Corcoran and issued over the signature of Attorney General Biddle. This remarkable apology for a convicted corporation contains these words: Under this agreement (with Farben) many new and important discoveries in the pharmaceutical field were disclosed to Winthrop Chemical, thus making them available to the United States. Another bit of excuse propaganda is found in one of the pamphlets distributed in 1942 by Standard Oil, quoting allegations made by its president, W. S. Farish: . . . whether (or not) the several contracts made with I.G. did or did not fall within the borders set by the patent statutes or the Sherman Act, they did inure greatly to the advance of American industry and, more than any one thing, have made possible our present war activities in aviation gaso-line, toluol and explosives, and in synthetic rubber itself. However, it is apparent that Farben's United States patents would have been valueless to the Germans had not agreements for their uselegal or illegalbeen made with our industrialists. Otherwise, the patents could only have served as a means of preventing manufacture; and as such they would have constituted so glaring a repetition of German cartel practices prior to World War I that the inevitable result would have been a change in our patent laws. On the other hand, should Farben have refrained from taking out patents in this country, its new processes would have been available to our industries here as rapidly as they were revealedwhen the patents were issued in Germany, and published. Farben's leaders knew all this, their American partners knew it, and the Government knew it. Nevertheless, the illegal unions were made and consummated. The Justice Department and the Congress twiddled its thumbs, and when our so-innocent industrialists asked for the know-bow on some of the more important German patents they were told that it was "Withheld for military reasons." One appeal to public opinion issued by DuPont on January 6, 1944, in part, was as follows: Surely it cannot be the policy of the Department of justice to attempt to prevent the continuance of such immensely beneficial arrangements which have been a common practice in American industry. This plea referred to the announcement that another antitrust action had been filed involving DuPont; in this instance with the British Imperial Chemical Industries and the DuPont subsidiary, Remington Arms, also named as defendants. This statement was cleverly phrased; it contained allegations that the agreements had never been concealed and that . . . copies have been in the possession of Governmental agencies for approximately 10 years. All this was unquestionably true. The same statement was repeated in DuPont's next annual report, but what may appear to have been an unfortunate omission, in each instance, was any mention of the fact that some of the restrictive agreements referred to in this antitrust action involved not only the British I.C.I. but also included tie-ups and financial partnerships with I.G. Farben subsidiaries making and distributing both commercial and military explosives. It was by repetitious publicity of this character that DuPont escaped much of the press criticism that was heaped upon some of the others who were not involved in as many court actions for conspiring with Farben as was this oldest and largest of American munition makers. DuPont's public relations, since 1936, were handled by Herbert Hoover's former White House Secretary, the late Theodore G. Joslin, until he died in April 1944. Mr.

First Edition Out-of-print --[5a]-- CHAPTER V THE PRUSSO-TEUTONICS APPROACH THEIR GOAL ON THE FIRST OF OCTOBER, 1927, two extremely dignified gentlemen in frock coats and striped trousers called on Marshal Hindenburg President of the German Republic. They were the "secret adviser" (Geheimrat) Duisberg, head of the famous chemical firm I. G. Farben and one of the leaders of German big industry; and the royal chamberlain, Elard von Oldenburg-Januschau, mouthpiece of the Junkers and official representative of the Reichs-Landbund, the Junker agricultural organization. They came to present to Hindenburg a "gift from the German economy"title to the Neudeck estate, castle and grounds. Neudeck had belonged to the Hindenburgs from the time of Frederick the Great, though the Marshal himself had never owned landed property. Tomorrow the whole country would be celebrating his eightieth birthday and on this occasion the Junkers and big industry had decided to restore the estate of his ancestors to him. A Stroke of Genius The idea had been conceived by the designing OldenburgJanuschau, who was a close friend of Hindenburg. This "king's chamberlain" was a kind of liaison officer to the Marshal, permanently delegated by the Junker organization to safeguard their interests in the Presidential office. Oldenburg had worked effectively. The contribution of the Junkers to the cost of the gift was trifling. The greater part of the funds came from big manufacturers, whose purse-strings were looser than those of the Prussian landlords, always in debt. Nevertheless the moral benefit of this princely gift to the Marshal-President would revert equally to both groups. In this there was a certain justice: the industrialists had supplied the money, the Junkers the idea. Industrialists and Junkers were hoping by this gesture to obtain a stronger hold on Hindenburg. But the Junkers hoped to secure an additional advantage of their own. By being transformed from an army officer without property into a landowner, Hindenburg would become a genuine Junker like his forebears. He would have the same day-to-day economic anxieties as they, and would be better qualified to understand their ideas and aspirations. Bismarck himself had been a great landlord, owner of three domains: Schoenhausen, Friedrichsruh, and Varzin. His entire economic policy conformed to the special interests of the Junkers. Under his regime import duties on agricultural products were steadily increased, to the disadvantage of other classes of the population. Under his successor, however, things had gone less smoothly. A Junker Who Forgot to Be a Junker When the young and impetuous William II decided that Bismarck should retire, he replaced him by Count von Caprivi, a general, member of a Junker family, who at first had the confidence of Prusso-Teutonic groups. But Caprivi possessed no fortune of his own; he was simply a soldier. Moreover, he pursued economic policies directly opposed to what the Junkers believed to be their interest. Between 1892 and 1894 he concluded commercial treaties which represented evolution toward free trade with Austria-Hungary, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Roumania, Serbia, and Russia. They provided for a decrease in duties on imported agricultural products, in exchange for similar concessions granted by the various countries for admitting manufactured goods which Germany wished to export. Young German industry was happy, and the public gladly experienced a general reduction in the cost of living. But the Junkers were furious. Because of their unprogressive methods of exploiting their soil they could make profits only if they could sell their products at exorbitant prices, artificially bolstered by high import duties. So they decided on the fall of von Caprivi who had become increasingly persona non grata to them. A campaign of unusual violence was launched against the chancellor. Finally in October, 1894, the Emperor, while visiting on the estate of Count von Eulenberg, one of the most influential Junkers of the time, decided without apparent reason to recall Caprivi. The "powers behind the throne" had received full satisfaction. Hindenburg became President of the German Republic in 1925. Descendant of an old Junker family, he was elected with the support of the Junker class, but once in power he seemed at times to forget that his sole duty in his new office was to serve the special interests of some 13,000 Prussian lords. True it was that Hindenburg, like Caprivi, owned no land. His fidelity to Junket principles, therefore, originated simply in the traditional alliance between the corps of Prussian officers and the Junker class, and not in any direct personal interest. For an officer younger than Hindenburg, the entangled interests of the Reichswehr and Junker organizations might have been an argument strong
[CTRL] [5b] The Thousand Conspiracy
The Thousand Conspiracy - Secret Germany Behind the Mask Paul Winkler Charles Scribners Sons©1943 New York 381 pps. First Edition Out-of-print --[5b]-- The Totalitarian Plan Between the two world wars, Germany was thus the first country to destroy, on a large scale, the effect of the stabilization of her currency, and to break away from international free trade based on gold. It was she, therefore, who supplied the "evil inspiration," and within a few months several countries followed suit. The avalanche was let loose. Finally many countries adopted a kind of "control of exchange" which became, during the period before the war, the primary obstacle to international commerce.* [* The state of war added other obstacles such as transportation difficulties and prohibitions on exporting. In addition, during the war the few countries which were still allowing free export of currency finally adopted, almost without exception, a system of more or less strict control of exchange.] The control of exchange introduced by Germany was extremely strict. A veritable financial "wall of China" was built around the country. Without this seclusion, whose rules were established and perfected under a regime still bearing the title "Republic," Hitler's totalitarian scheme could not have functioned. The new measures were part of the Prusso-Teutonics' plan, and they had definitely decided that, from that time on, the country was headed in a totalitarian direction. At that moment it was probably not yet clear in the minds of the real masters of Germany who should be entrusted with the task of putting this totalitarian orientation into practice. Although Hitler was already a serious candidate for the enviable post of "sublime henchman," and was the protege of several persons of influence, the forces running Germany from behind the scenes still, in principle, had free choice. One may well imagine that they might have put someone else in charge of the execution of an absolutely identical plan, provided that they could have found one as well qualified as Hitler to dispatch the business. It was Hitler's good fortune that at the time no other man existed in Germany who had his peculiar qualifications to put into execution the Machiavellian plan of the Prusso-Teutonics. Von Papen, who was the only other serious candidate, was simply an amateur in comparison. He did not have the qualities required of a "good professional." The "Robber Baron" Concept After the advent of Nazism only the method of a "financial wall of China" could permit German economy to be placed practically on a war basis and to work for total national rearmament. (Secret rearmament in accordance with a definite plan had never ceased since the Armistice.) It was this financial arrangement which paved the way for Hider's demagogic argument * that other nations were refusing Germany the raw materials she needed, and therefore she must conquer to get them. It was this argument that made it possible for Hitler to get his people to accept the harsh policy, "cannon instead of butter," and the sufferings of war. By virtue of the same argument he got people in certain foreign circles almost to excuse his policies because they bewailed the fate of "starving Germany."[ * If the Prusso-Teutonics had chosen another "henchman" he would have used the same argument.] We have already touched on this question, but one cannot insist too strongly on the fallacy of this line of reasoning. As long as she remained on the basis of a free financial system Germany could always have procured all the raw materials she needed. They were at her disposal in free markets throughout the world, and could be bought in a few seconds at any time by means of a simple cabled order. Countries much smallerBelgium, for example, which was as industrialized as Germanywere also in the same position and never complained of a "dearth of raw materials" or of "lack of vital space." This dearth, this lack of vital space, was deliberately produced by a series of measures, the first of which was the introduction of control of exchange on July 13, 1931. Those who defend the German point of view try to prove that the financial panic provoked by the introduction of control of exchange was not brought about deliberately by the group ruling the affairs of Germany, and that consequently control of exchange was inevitable. The reverse is easy to prove, but even if we admit for a moment the correctness of this thesis, we must say that the solution by control of exchange as a permanent measure was the worst that could have been chosen. One may compare Germany in panic to a bank on which there is a run. Obviously, the doors must be closed for a time, but permanent closing, or opening subject to all sorts of restrictive and annoying rules imposed on patrons, would be the best way one could imagine to avoid entirely restoring normal life to the bank. One need not wonder why a bank choosing such methods goes to its ruin.
