[CTRL] More Funding for FBI Snooping
.. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: Lloyd Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: More Funding for FBI Snooping Date: Monday, June 26, 2000 10:19 PM From: Howard Rothenburg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SNET: More Funding for FBI Snooping - SNETNEWS Mailing List More Funding for FBI Snooping by Declan McCullagh http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,37183,00 .html 3:00 a.m. Jun. 24, 2000 PDT WASHINGTON -- Congress is poised to give the FBI more money for wiretapping than even its director, Louis Freeh, had hoped for. The proposed 2001 budget approved by a House panel doles out an unprecedented $282 million to rewire U.S. telephone networks to make them readily snoopable, edging closer to the half-billion-dollar estimated price tag for the project. That's $70 million more than the FBI and the Clinton administration had requested. The 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act requires telephone companies to modify their networks so police can eavesdrop when necessary -- and the feds pay for the changes. The reason for Congress's unexpected largesse? "The (appropriations) committee believes that implementation of CALEA is long overdue. The committee notes that Congress expected CALEA implementation to be achieved over two years ago," the committee report says. "However, due to disagreements between law enforcement and industry, that deadline was not met. As a result, law enforcement's ability to effectively counter threats of terrorism, drug trafficking, and other serious crimes has been seriously eroded." Fortunately -- at least from Congress' perspective -- industry and law enforcement cut a deal, and there should be no further delays. A proposal to decrease the CALEA cash by $28 million and spend it instead on lobster fisheries in the Long Island Sound (no, really) was defeated in committee, 28-24. The committee did not agree with the White House that half of that money should be funneled through the Defense Department for "national security" reasons, as Wired News reported in February. All of it will go to the Justice Department instead. The appropriations measure, part of the Commerce, Justice, and State spending bill, is currently on the House floor. --- More cash to fight MS: Microsoft, look out. The Justice Department's antitrust division, busy pulling long hours in its attempt to break up the world's largest software company, is about to get more money. The same spending bill hands the division $113.3 million for the fiscal year beginning in October 2000. That's $3.3 million above the current year appropriation, although more than $20.7 million below the Clinton administration's request. Microsoft has lobbied to reduce the overall antitrust division budget. A motion to boost the DOJ antitrust and FTC -- which shares that responsibility -- budgets by a total of $51 million was defeated in committee by a 26-19 vote. The spending bill is still open to amendments on the House floor. The 2001 fiscal year begins October 2000. --- - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum. **FREE RARE BOOK SEARCH: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** Explore Our Archive: http://a-albionic.com/a-albionic.html A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Online NewsHour: NEWSMAKER: RALPH NADER -- June 30, 2000
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/election/jan-june00/nader_6-30.html Online NewsHour: NEWSMAKER: RALPH NADER -- June 30, 2000 Ralph Nader, the presidential candidate for The Green Party, outlines his progressive agenda. JIM LEHRER: And to a Newsmaker interview with Ralph Nader, the Green Party candidate for President of the United States. He won the nomination last weekend in Denver, Colorado, and it marks the second time he has run as the Green Party nominee. In 1996, he finished with 1 percent of the national vote. He is best known as a consumer activist, author, and lawyer. He was born in Winsted, Connecticut; he is 66 years old. He holds an undergraduate degree from Princeton University, a law degree from Harvard University, and he lives in Washington, D.C. And welcome, Ralph Nader. RALPH NADER, Presidential Candidate, Green Party: Thank you. Goal: stem corporate power JIM LEHRER: Why are you running for president again? RALPH NADER: Because the civil society is being closed down, the source of most social justice progress in our country, by the concentration of corporate power over our government, over our workplace, over our environment, over many institutions that should not be subordinated to global corporate power. And the press is full of documentation of that in terms of campaign cash and in terms of influence peddling, in terms of enormous pressure against working families in this country, against forming trade unions, in terms of huge corporate welfare subsidies. You know, it just goes on and on. And we have a choice in this country. Either the people are going to be sovereign or big business is going to be sovereign. JIM LEHRER: And you as President can change this? RALPH NADER: I think as President, with a broad civic mobilization, which would be required, we can begin to give people in their roles as voters, consumers, taxpayers and workers, more power to produce a deliberative democracy. We've had ten years of economic growth and that growth is not diminishing the problems of health care, retirement, child poverty, lack of public transit, consumer exploitation. It's really quite interesting. A majority of the workers are falling behind. After ten years of economic growth, they're making less in inflation-adjusted dollars than they made 20-25 years ago and they are working harder and longer according to the Department of Labor. Perhaps the worst example is that we're at 20% child poverty, the highest in the western world, and in California it's 25% child poverty when in 1980 it was 15% child poverty. JIM LEHRER: Is there an overall philosophy that would guide you as President, that would correct all the things you just enumerated, or is it a specific this bill, that bill, appointment or whatever? RALPH NADER: It's an overall philosophy. And that is a strong democracy that does not tolerate these injustices. It does not allow the few to reap the benefits from the many to keep the many from having their just rewards. It doesn't allow the few to decide for the many. And we have long experience in Washington -- year after year -- in how to strengthen our democracy whether it's campaign finance reform, or whether it's access to the regulatory agent agencies in the court. That's really what's key. The great thing about a democracy is that when it's deep and broad, it brings the best out of more people than any other system. And what we have now is a concentration of power and wealth, which is antagonistic to a democratic society. JIM LEHRER: You said what we have now. Do you look back on the history of the United States and say "ha, that's what we want back." That was a time when all... when the country really did run the correct way, in your opinion? RALPH NADER: Well, there are ups and downs. Obviously the slavery period was counteracted by the antislavery movement, women got the right to vote, workers got the right to form trade unions. They built the middle class. As they say, they gave us our weekend, they gave us benefits. The farmers' popular progressive movement against the banks and railroad companies that leavened power more; it gave people a chance to have more voice. So I think we have to look back at our history and say why is it every time concentrated power got too much and social justice movements opposed them, and the dominant business community opposed a social justice movement and finally lost, America was better as a result. Everybody benefited, including the businesses because democracy tends to expand markets. I think Jim Hightower's father really put it best. JIM LEHRER: He's the former Texas agriculture commissioner. RALPH NADER: Right. and he told his son Jim, in Texas. He said, "you know, Jim, when everybody does better, everybody does better." JIM LEHRER: Now, is it a new society you want to create? I want to make sure I understand you here. Is it a whole new American society you want to create, or is it a throwback to a prior time when it really
Re: [CTRL] Facts and Statistics About Fags
From: "David Sutherland" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind:
it is abomination."
-- Leviticus 18:22
I'm sure David is strictly adhering to each and every other prohibition
delineated in Leviticus, too...
a.. Fags live filthy, unhealty, dangerous, unhappy,
and in many cases, violent lives.
SOME 'fags' live 'filthy, unhealty [sic], dangerous, unhappy, and in
many cases, violent lives'...the same thing could be said of SOME
heterosexuals.
MOST 'fags' live lives as unobtrusive, unordinary, and no different
than most heterosexuals.
b.. Fags prey on children.
Bullshit. Homosexuals are attracted to adults of the same sex. Adults
who are attracted to children are pedophiles. Two distinct
classifications.
Men who sexually prey on male children have as much to do with adult
male homosexuality as men who sexually prey on little girls have to do
with adult male heterosexuality.
Are you going to say that men who sexually abuse little girls are
equivalent to the whole adult male heterosexual population?
a.. Fags fellate almost 100% of their sexual contacts and
ingest semen from about half of those.
Tell me, what sexual activities are practiced by homosexuals that are
not also practiced by heterosexuals?
Perhaps David's partner(s) -- if he has ever had any -- refuse to
swallow... ;-)
Are you as upset over heteros engaging in oral sex as you are male
homosexuals? What about lesbians, who don't have that 'worry'?
Semen contains
virtually every germ carried in the blood stream,
Hmmm...if that's true, all women should insist their male partners wear
condoms...
Or better yet, never have sex with men at all.
Or best yet, all women should become lesbians, then they wouldn't have
to worry about the cesspool that is semen touching any portion of their
bodies...
b.. One study reports 70% of fags admitting to having
sex only one time with over 50% of their partners
And I could show you studies where over 70 percent of heterosexuals
reported that at least 50 percent of their sexual conduct was with 'one
night stands'...
Without being given the demographics of the study, such figures are
meaningless; only an idiot would presume to project it onto the
population at large.
c.. One study reports that the average fag has between 20 and 106
partners per year (6).
The study you mention is on the sexual transmission of hepatitis A.
Which implies that homosexual men who either were infected with
hepatitis A, or were known transmitters, were part of the study.
That is meaningless when considering the homosexual population at
large, the majority of whom do NOT have hepatitis A...
d.. Sperm readily penetrates the anal wall (which is
only one cell thick) and gains direct access to the blood
stream. This causes massive immunological damage to the
body's T- and B-cell defensive systems (14).
Again, are you as upset when heterosexual couples engage in the same
sexual activity?
Why don't we see posts from you decrying the potential health
adversities of women who engage in anal sex with their male partners?
f.. Around 67-80% of fags lick and/or insert their tongues
into the anuses of their partners
This is also not uncommon in heterosexual sex...
(g.. 33% of fags admit to fisting
Ditto.
h.. Urinating on each other ("golden showers")
Straights also engage in that activity...
and torture
Ditto.
j.. 12% of fags give/receive enemas as part of
sexual pleasure (4).
Ditto.
l.. Many fag sexual encounters occur while drunk,
high on drugs, or in an orgy setting (7).
Ditto. You still haven't mentioned any activity that homosexuals
engage in that heterosexuals also don't engage in.
m.. Many fags don't pay heed to warnings of their
lifestyles:
Ditto for straights.
v.. Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the
New York City Criminal Court has said, "Homosexuals
account for half the murders in large cities" (10).
Well, we are not given the context in which this judge made this
statement, nor we shown what statistics the judge may have used, or
perhaps the judge is just homophobic.
If the statement is true, one would presume the majority of victims are
themselves homosexual...in which case David should be glad that their
numbers are being reduced.
w.. Captain William Riddle of the Los Angeles Police
says, "30,000 sexually abused children in Los Angeles were
victims of homosexuals" (10).
Riddle is an idiot, if he really said that. Again, men who sexually
abuse children are PEDOPHILES, not homosexual or heterosexual.
I doubt that Capt. Riddle describes adult men who sexually abuse little
girls as heterosexual...
x.. 50% of suicides can be attributed to fags (10).
And therefore half of the suicides committed in any period (which isn't
specified) are NOT homosexual. Therefore this statement is idiotic.
z.. It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each
AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of fags,
pssst!
[CTRL] The Patriot
6/29/00 I Just saw The Patriot. This is one of the worst movies I've seen in years. And I see lots of movies. Mell Gibson ruins every scene he is in. With all the money he makes for such incompetent work, you would think that he would invest in acting lessons. Every single actor in the movie turns in a better performance than he does. That includes some very young children. The movie is beautiful to look at and the production is impressive, but the script consists of strung together clichés punctuated by very bad acting by the lead. Even the supporting cast couldn't protect The Patriot from foreign invader Mel Gibson. Yikes!

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Pearl Jam concert turns deadly
Well David Sutherland, I am a conspiracy theorist and have been since the death of RFK, for then I realized like Alice In Wonderland, that things were not as they seemed. During my many years of research I was once warned "Do No Cast Pearls Before Swine"...and then came the Legionaires Disease timed so nicely to the events of the day - and I thought "My Name is Legion, for we are many" and the evil spirit entered into the swine who paniced - virtually suiciding, to the water where they diedthink they might in Sigmund Freud's language call this "the herd instinct". Oh I remember Cincinnati, and a bunch of kids sans manners rushing to grab the best seats; but that is to be expected, the band played on, and oh they did not know all those kids died. Why not, they paid dearly for them. Pearl Jam.Are they casting pearls before the swine - and then Pearl Jam sends out a note they "feel our pain" when these kids get killed - now at 100,000 people in attendance, most likely younger people, how much did it cost per head.and we are told Pearl Jam, like Clinton, feels our pain. So there have been over the years numerous events some occuring in rock places where kids hang out..panic, small fire - but the doors were boltedin France, this one event took many lives, but people forget - and the band plays on - like Aids taking a few lives here and few lives there - but Cui Bono - and Pearl Jam feels our pain. To me this Pearl Jam they are the swine100,000 people, and how much security? I say thought, their name should be Legion, and their evil spiritis entered the swine who panic and stampede? Maybe a little biblical lesson and clue here? So Pearl Jam - panic from the rear - a rush and how many kids died was it 15, and how many injured. Have they had plenty of security to keep watch over these kids with all the money the public is ripped off? So, Pearl Jam gets involved in politicstake the note.and once again the iniquities of the fathers are visted upon the children. Are these the pearls of great price, and were they worth it? I say they are Pearls of Great price at that but highly over-ratd and over paid..but they should be careful for someday they themselves, might end up being trampled upon by the "swine"/ So much for Pearl Jam feeling our pain as they bank their proceeds.

Queers are everywhere, in every society. You undoubtedly know some personally, everybody does. They just haven't told you about it, that's all. Particularly, since their cult What EXACTLY makes it a "cult"? You left that part out. is manipulated by the "Oligarchic Elite" ... As are we all. then again your highly moral, ethical, and principled Prezidente "Slick" Willie does goosestep to their every directive so I guess I could just be wrong on THAT account? Don't change the subject. Obviously sexual orientation has little to do with a robust and healthy society ... Not one bit, nor has it ever been demonstrated otherwise. so I guess "Slick" is an OK guy ... He's a gangster. That has nothing to do with his sex life. Most of our recent presidents have been gangsters. You can tell by the nicknames. We used to have presidents called things like Honest Abe, Old Hickory and Father of His Country. Nowadays we get guys like Tricky Dick, Slick Willie, Poppy and Dutch. But frankly, in your UNNATURAL opine, Homosexuality is not unnatural. If it were, it would not occur throughout the animal kingdom. I once saw in National Geographic, and again recently on TV, two male octopi going at it. They weren't even of the same species. And my DOG has a boyfriend, fer chrissake. Homosexuality is part of nature's way. Get used to it. What IS unnatural is the conscious suppression of one's own sexuality, whatever that may be. Sexual repression is a tool of social control. If they can get you do something as totally unnatural as to not screw, they can get you to do anything. I might add that I guess you simply need to be reminded that your plumbing isn't hooked up to operate that way. Ah, but it DOES work that way. It works a number of ways. Which one of them you prefer is strictly a matter of personal taste. There is no accounting for taste. Some people like catsup, some people like mayonnaise. I like mustard. What's the big deal, that YOUR religion forbids it? So what? I don't practice your religion. Ergo, it's tenets are irrelevant to my life, particularly to my sex life. Now it so happens that I much prefer women, for a variety of reasons, not least of which is they make better conversation. But if I ever change my mind, the very last thing that would stop me from sleeping with guys is somebody else's religion. Would YOU let somebody else's religion dictate what YOU do in bed? I didn't think so. Me either. Now I have a question for you. Why do you care enough about what other people do in bed that you spend time and bandwidth trying to browbeat them into doing it your way? Does the idea of having that much control over another person's body get you off? Do you find it arousing? Are you aroused right now? Do you still have both hands on the keyboard?

While Americas Federal Reserve seeks to coax the economy down to a soft landing, the rest of the world worries about the risk of a sharper downturn AS THE Feds open-markets committee met this week, almost all those shouting advice from the sidelines agreed on what its aims should be. Clearly, if a rise in inflation is to be averted, the American economy has to slow from the breakneck pace it has kept up over the past couple of years. But that is where agreement ends. There is fierce debate over what form a slowdown might take: a soft landingas the stockmarket is now bettingor a hard one. Foreign policymakers as well as investors have their fingers crossed, hoping it will turn out to be the first. The Feds decision on June 28th to leave its fed funds rate unchanged at 6.5% followed recent evidence that the economy was slowing already; and, despite a renewed warning of mounting inflationary pressures, this suggests it believes America is now on course for a soft landing. The Fed may have only one more chancein Augustto raise rates again before the election campaign poses political obstacles to such a move. Policymakers across the globe will be praying that Alan Greenspan, the Feds chairman, has got it right. America has accounted for almost three-quarters of the total increase in output among the rich economies over the past three years. So, at best, they will have to cope with the consequences of a slowdown: the motor of the world economy purring less irresistibly than before. At worst, they will have to deal with the after-effects of a crunching halt. Channel conflict What most people have in mind when they talk about a soft landing is a situation in which American interest rates do not need to go much higher to forestall inflation, and GDP growth slows, from an annual rate of over 5% in the first quarter of this year, to a rate of perhaps 2.5-3% next year, a shade below the rate that most people now believe to be sustainable in America. A hard landing generally means a recessionnot necessarily a severe one, but at least two consecutive quarters of declining GDPwhich might be combined with a sharp slide in both equity prices and the dollar. This is, of course, an oversimplification: in between soft and hard lie a whole range of landings of varying degrees of bumpiness. Or, as one fund manager put it, helpfully, I expect a soft landing, but it could be the hardest weve seen for a long time. Any glee overseas at seeing American economic hubris dented by a crash would be short-lived. There are three channels through which a downturn in America might harm other economies: trade, exchange rates and capital flows. As Americas economy has boomed, it has sucked in ever more imports, which have recorded an average annual increase of 12% in volume over the past couple of years, growing twice as fast as total world trade. This has been a key source of growth to economies stretching from Europe to Asia. But if Americas economy stalls, past experience suggests that import growth will fall more sharply than GDP. Even a soft landing in America would make it less attractive as an export market. The chart [not shown] identifies some of the economies that are most dependent on America. Top of the list are Canada and Mexico, which both send more than four-fifths of their exports to America, equivalent to 33% and 21% respectively of their GDPs. Several East Asian economies, such as Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, also export 10% or more of their GDPs to America. In contrast, in Japan and Western Europe the proportion is around only 3% of their GDPs, so the direct impact of a fall in exports to America would be modest. Take Germany; its exports to America rose by about 10% in volume last year. Suppose export growth fell to zero next year, as a result of a sharp slowdown in America. That would shave Germanys GDP growth by only 0.3 of a percentage point. A similar slump in American import growth would lop a full percentage point off growth in Thailand and two points off Mexicos. Painful, but not enough by itself to drag them into recession. If Americas economy had faltered two years ago, in the midst of the Asian crisis, the results would have been worse. But domestic demand is now recovering in the crisis-hit tigers, growing by 7% in South Korea last year. Another mitigating factor is that trade within the Asian region has been growing even faster than exports to America. A second channel for communicating American economic ill-health is the exchange rate. A hard landing in America might bring a sharp fall in the dollar against the other main currencies. Even a gentler slowdown might lead to a stronger yen and euro. That would further squeeze exports from Japan
[CTRL] CLINTON IS TAKING AMERICAN LAND
HERE IS WHY `PRESIDENT' CLINTON IS TAKING AMERICAN LAND http://www.ashevilletribune.com/hage1.htm First published in The Asheville Tribune on October 29, 1999. The revealing story of a rancher and the national debt Special Report By David Morgan, The Asheville Tribune Case History: Hage v. United States After years of successfully ranching in California, Wayne Jean Hage (she is now deceased) purchased a large cattle ranch in Nevada, Pine Creek Ranch, in the spring of 1978. The acreage involved is approximately 752,000 acres. However, as it is mostly desert land, the land's ability to support cattle is far less than might be supposed from its size. Located in the high desert mountains of central Nevada, the remote operation seemed an unlikely place for a war that would rock the very foundation of federal land management agencies. Wayne purchased the operation from the well-respected Arcularius Brothers who sold the ranch because the regulatory pressure by the U.S. Forest Service had become unbearable. Since Wayne had always been able to work with the agency, he believed he could resolve problems that might occur. Wayne soon learned the only way he could satisfy the Forest Service was to allow them to confiscate his property. One of the first incidents that drew the line between Wayne and the Forest Service revolved around a critical spring that Wayne owned. Situated close to the Forest Service Ranger Station in Meadow Canyon, the district ranger decided they would pipe the water from the spring, through a newly installed $50,000 water purification facility, into their cabin. Wayne learned of this after the project was complete, and rightfully objected. He explained that if they needed his water, they could make appropriate arrangements. They refused to cooperate and would not acknowledge that he owned the water even though he held two court decrees affirming his water right. Wayne even held a field hearing where the state water engineer acknowledged Wayne's ownership and the Forest Service's illegal confiscation. But, still today, the Forest Service has maintained a fence around the spring so that cattle and wildlife cannot drink, and the water is still being piped into the ranger's cabin. Retaliation Because Wayne questioned the Forest Service's actions, the Forest Service began an unbelievable retaliation campaign. In a 105-day period they sent Wayne 40 certified letters and personally visited him 70 times, each time citing him in violation of a bureaucratic regulation. Wayne had to respond in writing and take corrective action to each one of their allegations, no matter how trivial. In fact, most, if not all, were wild goose chases or violations the Forest Service themselves had created. Some of these charges stated Wayne was not maintaining his drift fences. In order to comply with their rules, Wayne would check and mend if necessary the fences in question. One of these incidents involved sending a horse and rider to the top of Table Mountain to ride the 20-mile fence line. After doing this, the rider found only one problem. There was one staple missing. The Forest Service had dutifully marked it with a blue flag. Also, among these charges were 45 accounts of trespass where Wayne's cattle were allegedly found in the wrong location. For every one of these, Wayne would send a crew of riders to locate the cattle and attempt to comply with the regulations. Often, there were no cattle to be found, leaving Wayne to wonder if there ever were. Also, on several occasions there were eyewitnesses who watched the Forest Service employees move Wayne's cattle into trespass areas, and then immediately cite him for the violation. Over the next eight years he filed three administrative appeals, and won all three. They cost him over $150,000 in attorney and consultant fees, not to mention the countless hours, personal resources, and lost income also expended. Twice, his pickup was shot at while he was close by, a not so subtle warning. His wife and children were run off the road personally by the District Ranger. Even though he won every case, the agency would create new regulations that would wear Wayne down, force him to expend his time and resources fighting their new regulations, and eventually run him completely out of business. The final straw came when the Forest Service confiscated at gunpoint over 100 head of his cattle. Armed with semi-automatic weapons and bulletproof vests, 30 Forest Service riders confiscated his cattle in July of 1991. Although they had no legal justification for their actions, they took the cattle, handed Wayne a bill for their cost of gathering the cattle, transported the cattle to a sale yard which refused to auction the stolen cattle, and eventually the Forest Service held their own
[CTRL] Fw: [CTRL] Paradigm Shift - Robert Anton Wilson Interview
I personally think a number of factors are leading to increased conspiracy theories. -The fracturing of culture. As a country beomes more diverse, whether racially of otherwise, and the lines of communication break down, then it is easier for real conspiracies to spring up and imagined ones to be seen. This is in common with the class split. the more the elite does not believ that it has common cause with the masses, then they feel free to exploit the masses and the proles become more resentful - The rise of modern ideologies. The elite in particular becomes driven to change the world and will impose its views. Hence education becomes a tool for upbuilding and learning the bible(at least the ideology was clear) but also ideological indoctrination. -resulting from education people cease to think analyticall but think in terms of victimhood..and someone conspiring against them. -mass media also whether delibrately or for entertainment simplifies things to good versus evil, when the truth is more complicated. Also the media represents the rich capitalists viewpoint(eg stephen spielberg -dreamworks,Eisner-disney, Levin-Times warner, Redstone-CBS, murdoch-fox) and they feel little for the hewers of wood and the drawers of water. John Oh and there are some genuine conspiracies as well, which doesnt help the level of paranoia PHF: Okay... so why are conspiracy theories so popular? RAW: Information flow is accelerating, as several studies have indicated and as I have documented in a few of my books. Information acceleration leads to fractal functions, according to mathematician Theodore Gordon. Fractal functions are always unpredictible. Okay? Well, most people don't know enough math and sociology to understand that simple paragraph.All they know is that everything is getting more unpredictible and that looks spooky to them. (The unpredictible tends to spook all mammals...) Unable to grasp what is happening (accelerated evolution), most domesticated primates feel spooked and threatened and look around for some Evil Force to blame. Conspiracy theories will continue to proliferate as long as the acceleration does not include an acceleration of general education...but that will have to happen as the whole world moves into high gear. Then we'll have more understanding (science) and less demonology (conspiracy theory.)

[CTRL] Freedom From War
.. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: Lloyd Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: New Paradigms Discussion Subject: Freedom From War Date: Monday, June 26, 2000 5:04 PM Note: This Electronic Research Collection is an archive site. For the most current information, please visit the US State Department homepage. Freedom From War The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE DEPARTMENT OF STATE PUBLICATION 7277 Disarmament Series 5 Released September 1961 Office of Public Services BUREAU OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing 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 PROGRAM FOR GENERAL AND COMPLETE DISARMAMENT IN A PEACEFUL WORLD SUMMARY DISARMAMENT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES The over-all 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. TASK OF NEGOTIATING STATES The negotiating states are called upon to develop the program into a detailed plan for general and complete disarmament and to

Original Message Subject: [IPN] CPT Statement on E-Sign bill Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2000 00:52:50 -0500 (CDT) From: James Love [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: http://www.cptech.org To: undisclosed-recipients:; FMI: Jamie Love, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 202.387.8030, hm 703.522.4380 Vergil Bushnell, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202.387.8030 Today a consumer group criticized the new US law on electronic signatures. Jamie Love, Director of the Consumer Project on Technology, stated: "People should understand that this bill is about legal issues. It does not create any new technology. The bill was pushed to solve the problems of businesses, and not to protect consumers. The legislation will increase the risks of identity theft. According to the National Consumer Law Center, the bill places places new burdens on consumers to provide evidence in disputes over electronic transactions. "The E-sign Act increases the legal obligations on consumers who interact with busineses on the Internet and through other digital media. "The E-sign Act raises the legal status of agreements that are 'signed' using electronic technologies, including such authorizations as click-on buttons on web pages, as well as many other electronic authorizations, of varying degrees of security.On the one hand, it overrides other statutes and regulations, and declares as a general rule, that no contract or signature can be denied legal effect, solely on the grounds that it was in electronic form. On the other hand, it fails in important ways to guarantee that consumers will be protected from fraud or unfair business practices in a wide range of matters. "In general, electronic transactions may leave consumers more vulnerable to unauthorized use, compared to conventional transactions. Technology residing on a consumer's personal computer can hardly be expected to be shielded from malicious intrusions. Unlike a handwritten signature, if an electronic authorization is stolen or forged, the legitimate owner will be hard-pressed to prove that it was used fraudulently. The E-sign Act contains no provision to limit the liability of consumers victimized by fraudulent spending. "Congress rejected pleas from consumer groups that the e-sign bill include a provision to ensure that a contract cannot be altered once a consumer's digital signature is affixed. The Senate langauge on this was dropped from the bill that was signed by the President today. The risk is that consumers will be victimized by changes in contractual text, inadvertent or otherwise, eroding the consumer's ability to reproduce copies of digital contracts at a later date, or admit such documents as evidence. "The digital signature bill is likely to hurt consumers lacking access to the Internet, especially low-income consumers and minorities. The E-sign Act does allow the consumer the choice of receiving a contract in electronic or paper form. However, given the prevalence of adhesion contracts in business-to-consumer transactions, this 'choice' may very well be "take-it-or-leave it," or constrained by penalty fees for paper-based contracting, a practice not prohibited by the legislation.

Re: [CTRL] Facts and Statistics ...
Hi Nessie, I suppose it all boils down to whether one has to be pragmatic and perfect to believe a simple concept such as is revealed in the Bible to Abraham who is considered the patriarch of the Holy Promise... that is, the hope in the Messiah, for Salvation, specifically. Then there are people who question it's validity should follow the historical record, to learn the truth of the matter. But most people are too lazy and don't have time to do this, and would rather believe a bunch of "crap" they've been told, because it's easier, and less time consuming... OR... If people willingly choose to consistently find errors in the Bible, then that is what they will find. I find that the problem with people who feel that the Bible has a lot of "crap" in it... are looking to find "crap" and errors. These same types of people don't want to believe what the Bible says to begin with, so basically, it's a waste of time. Sure, various men wrote the Bible, but it all hinges on whether you believe that GOD is great enough to preserve His own written work, regardless of men's interpretations. If you don't believe that God is great enough to preserve His Word for ever... or by divine inspiration... then you will focus on the errors and mistakes of men and never trust that God is able to do all things, even down to providing you with the TRUTH, *IF* (notice the condition) you so desire. I personally choose to believe as Jesus taught in John 16... as my faith commits: "... when the Spirit of Truth, is come [unto you], He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify Me [Jesus Christ]; for He shall receive of Mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine; therefore said I that He shall take of Mine, and shall show it unto you." ~John 16:13-15 I do not have time for petty arguments about the Bible... not speaking necessarily of this list... but at any time... because of this statement by Jesus through John, alone. For IF the Spirit of Truth shows you that the Bible is full of "crap"... then so be it. That is what it would have you to believe. This is another reason why I do not care what people believe or why. But I believe that people have the right to express what they believe, and if someone disagrees, they should be willing to give valid documentation, not just a shallow argument/debate. OR they should just plainly say, "I do not agree". However, it is a fact that God has sent out many 'lying spirits' and strong delusion to those who do not want to believe or quest for the real truth... and so it is documented in 1-Kings ch 22:15-40 "...And the Lord said, 'Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?' And the Lord said unto him, 'Wherewith?' And he said, 'I will go forth and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, 'Thou shalt persuade him [Ahab], and prevail also: go forth, and do so.' Now therefore, behold, the LORD HATH PUT A LYING SPIRIT IN THE MOUTH OF ALL THESE THY PROPHETS, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.' " It happens in the last days also... "... for this cause GOD SHALL SEND A STRONG DELUSION that that should believe a lie..." ~2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 People must have a strong love for the truth, and that is literally, a strong DESIRE for the truth... for God knows the hearts and the reigns of all. The desire must be genuine and valid before it is given to them. That is just the way I see it... and is also grounds for the reason Jesus said that the gate to truth was strait and narrow and there would be few who find it. You want to talk about "love" in the Bible? The way I see the love of God, certainly is not the way I perceive it from various so-called Christians I know... I would take that saying... "What would Jesus do?" and change it to "What Jesus wouldn't do." ... (if so-called Christians even know what He wouldn't do), and it would make more sense. There is nothing that I can find in the Bible about reincarnation, but rather a continued life of the soul that eventually comes to judgment, which simply means reward or punishment. I do not speak for all Christians, only for myself regarding homosexuality... As far as I'm concerned, it was forbidden in the Bible for very good reasons. I maintain that those reasons are as valid today as they were in the beginning. However, I see the sin of homosexuality a flesh / carnal sin... and I see spiritual sin as carrying much more weight in judgment. Everyone does something with the flesh that is not healthy... that really doesn't matter. Once the flesh dies, it returns to dust. It is the spirit and soul of the person that God is concerned with. If you have experiences with so called Christians that thump on people for homosexual reasons... they simply do not

The notion that there were two sides to this story never crossed my mind. Its been a pleasant surprise to find out otherwise. As a recovering right-wing libertarian, I still have MUCH to learn about left-wing libertarianism; thus will have a tendency of putting my foot in my mouth from time-to-time, as I obviously just did here. Sorry, I had NO idea! Screw Bob Black and screw his opinions. The opinions of jerks do not matter. Except, I assume, for the "very funny and insightful stuff", found in most of "his writing, which is eminently respectable", (to use your words, with which I tend to agree). Off the top of your head, are there other writings of Bob Black that you have major problems with? For example: http://www.spunk.org/library/writers/black/index.html Also, I've noticed there are LOTS of anarchist lists out there, what listserver would you (or J2) recommend a newbie anarchist subscribe to / lurk on? Hi Paul, I don't classify myself anymore. My only purpose in life is to bust bullshit. That endeavor manages to piss everybody off. ;} I am not an anarchist though I love and support what the more radical Anarchists are doing. I am NOT a Libertarian of any sort whatsoever. I hate Right Libertarians because I consider them a bunch of greedy, shallow, self centered shits who would sell children chocolate covered rat poison if " the Market " demanded it, and would cuss out the Gubbment if they tried to regulate them. I don't believe that " Liberty " is the most important thing going. I think LIFE is the most important thing going, and liberty enhances life but is not essential to it. Where there is a choice liberty should be striven for. No LIFE is worth Liberty. To me, the slogan " Give me Liberty or give me death," is a sign of mental illness. I like Noam Chomsky who calls himself a Left Libertarian. Not because he is a Libertarian, but because he is very smart and very honest. There are things he puts out which I personally don't hold by. AND, his take on what we did to Yugoslavia is wrong. In any case, it is better to be a Left Libertarian than a Right Libertarian if you have any aspirations of becoming a human being.

[CTRL] Fwd: The Mena Coverup
Used to be the Mafia, this group consists of contract killers for the CIA, Drug Runners, etc. who are hardly the type one could call an "intelligence" agent, for those sit at the top of the heap, the Family, and I believe Bill Clinton since he held his first post in Arkansas government, was part of this vicious "Family". This is one story I hope will never be forgotten, until the truth is revealed. CIA says it - The Truth Shall Make You Freeand we shall know it. Now more than legend has it, that this Mafia thing, this Family, that they only kill each other. Used to be that way but when you consider Mena, and a 100 bodies buried on the border of Mexico-Texas, and a few unsolved murders in our area where one young kid in particular decided to take on Meyer Lanskey's territory making own drug route - he ended up dead in Independence Village - but Larry Flynt a short time earlier, ended up dead for a minute or so, but was revivedfor he too, took on the Dragons. Mena is something I hope will never be forgotten. Arkansas was chosen for a purpose; looks like a little backward state full of intrigue? But remember Little Rock too and George Wallace, gunned down when he too, too on the Golden Dragons A Saba The Mena Coverup "...it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds..." -- Samuel Adams http://www.idmedia.com/menacoverup.htm The Wall Street Journal - Editorial Feature - OCTOBER 18, 1994 The Mena Coverup By MICAH MORRISON MENA, Ark. - What do Bill Clinton and Oliver North have in common, along with the Arkansas State Police and the Central Intelligence Agency? All probably wish they had never heard of Mena. President Clinton was asked at his Oct. 7 press conference about Mena, a small town and airport in the wilds of Western Arkansas. Sarah McClendon, a longtime Washington curmudgeon renowned for her off-the-wall questions, wove a query around the charge that a base in Mena was "set up by Oliver North and the CIA" in the 1980s and used to "bring in planeload after planeload of cocaine" for sale in the U.S., with the profits then used to buy weapons for the Contras. Was he told as Arkansas governor? she asked. "No," the president replied, "they didn't tell me anything about it." The alleged events "were primarily a matter for federal jurisdiction. The state really had next to nothing to do with it. The local prosecutor did conduct an investigation based on what was in the jurisdiction of state law. The rest of it was under the jurisdiction of the United States Attorneys who were appointed successively by previous administrations. We had nothing - zero - to do with it." It was Mr. Clinton's lengthiest remark on the murky affair since it surfaced nearly a decade ago, in the middle of his long tenure as governor of Arkansas. And while the president may be correct to suggest that Mena is an even bigger problem for previous Republican administrations, he was wrong on just about every other count. The state of Arkansas had plenty to do with Mena, and Mr. Clinton left many unanswered questions behind when he to Washington. Anyone who thinks that Mena is not serious should speak to William Duncan, a former Internal Revenue Service investigator who, together with Arkansas State Police Investigator Russell Welch, has fought a bitter 10-year battle to bring the matter to light. They pinned their hopes on nine separate state and federal probes. All failed. "The Mena investigations were never supposed to see the light of day," says Mr. Duncan, now an investigator with the Medicaid Fraud Division of the office of Arkansas Attorney General Winston Bryant "Investigations were interfered with and covered up, and the justice system was subverted." The mysteries of Mena, detailed on this page on June 29, center on the activities of a drug-smuggler-turned-informant named Adler Berriman "Barry" Seal. Mr. Seal began operating at Mena Intermountain Regional Airport in 1981. At the height of his career, according to Mr. Welch, Mr. Seal was importing as much as 1,000 pounds of cocaine a month. By 1984, Mr. Seal was an informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency and flew at least one sting operation to Nicaragua for the CIA, a mission known to have drawn the attention of Mr. North. By 1986, Mr. Seal was dead, gunned down by Colombian hitmen in Baton Rouge, La. Eight months after Mr. Seal's murder, his cargo plane, which had been based at Mena, was shot down over Nicaragua with Eugene Hasenfus and a load of Contra supplies aboard. According to Mr. Duncan and others, Mr. Clinton's allies in state government worked to suppress Mena investigations. In 1990, for example, when Mr. Bryant made Mena an issue in the race for attorney general, Clinton aide Betsey Wright warned the candidate "to stay away" from the issue, according to a CBS Evening News investigative report. Ms. Wright denies the report. Yet once in

Walter Burien, who has been blowing the whistle on this gargantuan scam, says, "Americans OWN the majority of America's WEALTH and don't know it." With the profits rolling in from international investments, you now know the true motive behind NAFTA and GATT. * Calling it "risky" to allow taxpayers to invest a tiny 2% of their social security in the stock market is laughable when our governments ALREADY have 32 Trillion dollars invested in the same "risky" domestic and international stock markets! * The Six Trillion plus "estimated surplus" going into the year 2004 announced by Clinton is also laughable compared to the additional trillions of "surplus" earnings being added yearly to government composite CAFRs. * If those hidden assets are revealed and used, the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds will never run out. * When Orange County lost a little over $1 billion in derivatives investments, they were crying "poverty" and threatening to shut down schools, police would have to be laid off etc. However someone dug into the Orange County CAFR and found out that the county had about $16 billion in profitable investments! The county, from their profitable liquid investment funds / cash position could have continued performing the same services, without collecting one dime in taxes, and could have done so for another 11.9 years from the existing funds prior to running out of money! The crying stopped. * While he was a Mayor, Jesse Ventura's city council wanted to raise $360,000 in taxes to cover a short fall on their "city budget for schools."

[CTRL] Secret files protect dangerous doctors
Secret files protect dangerous doctors HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) _ A little-known government database tracking malpractice suits and disciplinary action against physicians remains unavailable to the general public, and at least one congressman says dangerous doctors have hidden behind that shield of secrecy long enough. But standing in his way is the American Medical Association and a powerful medical lobby, The Hartford Courant reported in weekend editions. The newspaper, using a public version of the database which does not have names or other identifying information, nevertheless deduced the names of several doctors who have repeatedly faced malpractice charges but continue to practice. One such surgeon was nicknamed ``Eric the Red'' because of the way his patients bled. The Courant said it identified the doctors by comparing the anonymous data in the database with court records, regulatory files and other public records. U.S. Rep. Thomas J. Bliley Jr., R-Va., chairman of the House Commerce Committee, unsuccessfully championed legislation this year that would have opened the National Practitioner Data Bank to the public. ``Now is the time to open the data bank,'' Bliley told The Courant. ``It is unconscionable that consumers have more comparative information about the used car they purchase or the snack foods they eat than the doctors in whose care they entrust their health and well-being.'' Federal law prohibits anyone other than hospitals, health maintenance organizations and licensing boards from using the complete database. In its Sunday editions, The Courant reported the Fairfax, Va.-based data bank lists malpractice payments of $25 billion against more than 100,000 doctors, or one of every six physicians in the country. At the top of list, the newspaper said, is Dr. Eric Scheffey, a Houston orthopedic surgeon. The data bank shows Scheffey involved in 29 malpractice payments totaling $8 million. After the 1985 death of a back surgery patient, Scheffey's medical license was put on probation, but he was allowed to keep practicing. The 1994 death of another patient resulted in five more years' probation from the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners. He can still practice but cannot perform operations without another surgeon present. Residents in a hospital where Scheffey worked gave him the ``Eric the Red'' nickname, court records show. Scheffey could not be reached for comment Sunday. Phone messages from The Associated Press were left with his answering service, where an operator said he was unavailable until Monday. Calls to a private listing went unanswered. He also did not respond to several attempts by the newspaper to contact him. The AMA has fought to keep the data bank closed to the public, arguing that malpractice payments are an unfair measure of a doctor's abilities. ``Even some of our nation's finest physicians who specialize high-risk cases are involved in settlements,'' said AMA President Thomas Reardon. He said the data bank was intended to allow only regulators and hospitals to flag problem doctors who move from state to state, and the general public could misinterpret or overreact to the raw information. But the patients who must live with their doctor's mistakes say access to the bank is a matter of public safety. Christine Hachey, a Scottsdale, Ariz., travel agent, said she was not aware of any complaints against the eye doctor accused of botching her surgery. Dr. Gary Hall, of Phoenix, had accumulated more than two dozen malpractice payments totaling $5.3 million before his state medical board prohibited him from performing a certain type of surgery. It came too late for Hachey, who now needs a large magnifying glass to read. ``This really makes me angry,'' she told The Courant upon learning of the data bank. ``I never knew any of this. I can't believe the system is so secretive. How are you supposed to know whether your doctor is any good?'' In a letter to The Courant, Hall said his insurance company had settled cases ``without my consent'' and noted he had performed 25,000 radial keratotomy operations. ``Therefore, though the number of entries in the National Practitioner Data Bank appears high, it still represents a very small percentage of the total number of cases I performed,'' he wrote.

On payment of a fee : that can range between Rs. 60-150, these dais kill the female babies : the moment they are born. : : The methods adopted to kill newborns are many. In south Indian states : like Tamil Nadu, children are either fed the milk of poisonous plants : or covered with a wet towel so that they die later of complications : from cold. : : In Bihar, holding the baby from the waist and shaking it back and : forth snaps the spinal chord. Sometimes a child is stuffed in a clay : pot. Babies are also fed with salt to increase their blood pressure, : death follows in a few minutes. Grains of paddy husk are also fed to : slit the tender gullet. : : According to a report in Nexus, in a certain block in Katihar : district, 35 dais accepted having killed three to four babies a month, : making the total number of female babies who are killed approximately : 560 per month.

Bill, It's important to me because People of Faith should be warned that if they ACCEPT the DEMANDS of the practicing homosexuals they themselves will be violating God's Will and His Laws. I, too, could care less what detestable acts between two consenting 'adults' perform in their bedroom. I would think a Parent would be concerned if their below age kid was in that bedroom.

Our Nation was founded on values traditional to the Judeo/Christian ethic, therefore scum who practice sexual acts contrary to our forefathers interpretation of those values must and will accept the consequences of being ostracized from Society, or with the compassion of his/her peers change their sexual behavior. OK Bard...I dissent with your extrapolation. Did our forefathers practice fellatio? Cunnilingus??? Did they do doggie-style? And how do YOU know? Homosexuality is as old as the history of manand it most certainly was practiced on these shores "back then"...undoubtedly some of our "forefathers" were into "buggery"...Like it or not it's a (genetic) fact of life...some folk just "dig" their own sex...what's the big deal? THEY ARE NOT 'BORN' THAT WAY. Again, I dissent. Do you remember Bard, sitting in agony at the age of puberty mulling over, agonizing over whether to like chicks or dicks? I didn't have a problem realizing that it was the female form that I wanted to "lay with"...and I spent ZERO time thinking about it...so if homo's are naturally predisposed to feeling the same type of attraction to their sex that I feel towards the opposite sex I gotta' tell you...it's not something that can be changed! Have to read all fourteen parts of the Post? It's propaganda...a screed...it means nothing. The Media and the Leftists in the corrupt government schools are tools of those determined to destroy our way of life, and replace it with a collectivist agenda where individuality is suppressed to enable the Elite to control the World. What is "our way of life"? If "our way of life" is to be force-fed religious dogma, to be forced to think a certain way, I don't want any part of it. I'm pro-choice Bard, in ALL AREAS of life...and in MY OPINION that's the AMERICAN WAY. If we disagree, that's fine...just don't impose YOUR morality on me and I certainly won't impose mine on you. Again, I'm not capable of understanding the attraction to the same sex, though I know that I'm attracted to attractive women "loving" eachother...so sue me! And aren't you hoping to legislate morality? Greedy people will stop at nothing to make a fast buck on the backs of the ignorant and those who were abused in early childhood. Then I suppose we ought to allow the state to peer closer into the family dynamic to make sure no kids are being abused or neglected anywhere? I DOUBT that child abuse/neglect leads to homosexuality...but I am POSITIVE that said abuse/neglect often leads to promiscuity...and that's too bad but it's understandable isn't it? The dysfunctionally of some Parents has had disastrous results on their young. Don't laugh Bill; it's happening as we chat. Oh, I agree with you here Bard...110%!

REDISCOVERING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT by Vin Suprynowicz
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
As little as 50 years ago, American movie audiences could be expected
to hiss and boo as the Nazi Gestapo agent was shown insinuating
himself through the passenger cars of some European train, ominously
hissing, "Papers, please?"
Only in totalitarian police states (Americans then understood) were
citizens subject to random searches -- or any requirement that they
show their "papers" at the mere whim of a suspicious government
official.
Then things began to change in America. Where once the Fourth
Amendment ("The right of the people to be secure ... against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated") was
presumed inviolate, now police complained such restrictions were
making it impossible to fight the War on Drugs.
The courts responded to the "pragmatic realities" of the Drug War by
granting police a progressively greater presumption of "compelling
need" to violate the terms of the Fourth -- first in a few cases of
"fleeing suspects"; then in "random traffic stops"; finally tumbling
down the slippery slope so far that today, "It's OK that you killed
these innocent homeowners in their beds, as long as it was your
anonymous _informant_ who got the address wrong. But you really
should pay to fix the door."
Now, finally, the U.S. Supreme Court seems to be rediscovering that
ancient "right of the people to be secure ..."
In 1997, Steven Dewayne Bond was a passenger on a Greyhound bus en
route from California to Arkansas, when the bus was stopped at an
"immigration checkpoint" in Sierra Blanca, Texas. A Border Patrol
agent checked the passengers' immigration status, and then felt their
luggage.
The agent squeezed a canvas bag in the bin over Bond's seat, and
later told the court his perception of a ''brick-like object" led him
to suspect it contained drugs. When the agent asked Bond if he could
open the bag, the agent testified he was told, "Go ahead."
Inside, the agent found a brick-shaped object covered in tape, later
revealed to contain methamphetamine.
Mr. Bond was convicted of drug possession and "conspiracy" (an
all-purpose add-on charge, these days. Unless he manufactured the
drugs from scratch, he obviously had to have "conspired" with
_somebody_.) The appeals court said the agent needed no search
warrant, since Mr. Bond gave up any reasonable expectation of privacy
when he "exposed" the bag to the public by putting it in the overhead
bin.
But on April 17, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Bond's conviction,
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist writing for the court that
"Physically invasive inspection is ... more intrusive than purely
visual inspection." A citizen does not waive his privacy rights when
he places his belongings in a piece of luggage, under the absurd
theory that he is then inviting one and all to "feel the bag in an
exploratory manner," the court ruled.
The 7-2 court majority is a strong one, with only Justices Antonin
Scalia and Stephen Breyer dissenting, on the theory that enforcing
the Fourth Amendment could "deter law enforcement officers searching
for drugs" (Justice Breyer absurdly adding that travelers who want to
safeguard the contents of their luggage "from public touch should
plan to pack those contents in a suitcase with hard sides." Sure. And
those of us travelling by air can demonstrate our reluctance to
"waive our privacy rights" by simply buying luggage with lead panels
designed to block the omnipresent X-Rays ... right?)
Indeed, the Fourth Amendment certainly does "deter law enforcement
officers searching for drugs." It doubtless does so every day. But an
explicit delegation of power to Congress to fight a War on Drugs is
difficult to locate -- some even arguing that the "unenumerated
rights" protected by the Ninth Amendment must include the once
unrestricted right to consume alcohol and other drugs, as our
ancestors were free to do from 1600 to 1915 -- lest why would a
constitutional amendment have been required to outlaw alcohol in
1919?
I believe this is a correct and sensible reading of the Ninth. But
even if the drug war were somehow legitimate, whenever a freedom
specifically guaranteed by the Bill of Rights comes into conflict
with the convenience of the police, the Bill of Rights must clearly
prevail.

[CTRL] OBE a complete success
Another report on the same study. By the way, Patrick Henry never said, "Give me liberty or give me death!" No attendee at his speech remembered his saying this highly memorable lines. The attribution first appeared in a biography written much later. Also, the "conservatives" who passed out a test of 14 questions to entering freshmen at Dartmouth got *three* of their answers wrong. Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 18:23:53 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Do the words ``Give me liberty or give me death'' sound only vaguely familiar? Do you think Thomas Jefferson was the ``Father of the Constitution''? If so, you're not alone. Nearly 80 percent of seniors at 55 top colleges and universities -- including Harvard and Princeton -- received a D or F on a 34-question, high-school level American history test that contained historical references like those. A group of lawmakers, lamenting the results Tuesday, plan to introduce later this week a resolution calling on boards of trustees, college administrators and state officials to strengthen American history requirements in all levels of the educational system. More than a third of the students surveyed in December 1999 didn't know the Constitution established the division of power in American government, according to the Center for Survey Research and Analysis at the University of Connecticut, which administered the test as part of a study to measure the teaching of American history. Students were much more knowledgeable about popular culture. For example, 99 percent of the seniors could identify profane adolescents ``Beavis and Butthead'' as ``television cartoon characters.'' But only 23 percent identified James Madison as the principal framer of the Constitution. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., lamented the findings. Quoting Jefferson, he said that ``if a nation expects to be ignorant and free it expects what never was and never will be.'' ``This nation seems well on its way to testing this proposition,'' Lieberman said. He, along with Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash.; and Reps. Thomas Petri, R-Wis., and George Miller, D-Calif., will introduce the resolution. The study, sponsored by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, found none of the 55 schools require American history for graduation. And 78 percent of the schools don't require students to take any history classes, according to Jerry Martin, one of the report's authors. ``These students are allowed to graduate as if they didn't know the past existed,'' Martin said. Martin's group has been working to try to get colleges and universities to stress American history, but does not advocate a particular curriculum. Within the last two years, the State University of New York system agreed to add American history to its core curriculum. The problem also must be addressed in elementary schools, said James C. Rees, who oversees former President George Washington's estate in Mount Vernon, Va. ``George Washington has been virtually eliminated from elementary school textbooks,'' Rees said. The history test was given by telephone to 556 college seniors chosen at random. The questions were drawn from a basic high school curriculum and many had been used in the National Assessment of Education Program tests given to high school students. *-- On the Net: http://www.goacta.org A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Virginia Uribe, Coming Out of the Classroom Closet (1991). I. PAUSING TO ADDRESS HOMOSEXUALITY AND FREE SPEECH In his famous June 1978 Harvard commencement address Aleksander Solzhenitsyn indicted Americas mass media for the betrayal of its office: The press can both stimulate public opinion and miseducate it The press has become the greatest power within the Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive, and judiciary. One would then like to ask: By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible. Based on its free speech privileges, the American press is charged with providing a window to the world by which the polity may locate the source of a social malaise, evaluate and correct it. But, if establishment media--news and entertainment--broadcasts disinformation and conceals adverse information about a matter or malaise, than the Fourth Estate (the mass media) becomes an unelected fifth column directing law and public policy. Especially now, when the New York Times reports that the annual budgets of gay and lesbian charities and social service agencies amounts to about $100 million these charities and agencies are in a position to dramatically recraft the national psyche, and thereby national conduct. This author seeks to break through the mass media conspiracy of silence. Rogers Theory of Diffusion of Innovation: Philip Kotlers classic work, Marketing Management documents how controlled news is used to both stimulate public opinion and miseducate it. Rogers and Kotler report that in a media campaign, 2½% of our social leaders often sway roughly 13% of the public early-on who later move another 34%, and so on until a majority accept and adapt the proffered product or idea. This diffusion is visible in the shift from the view of homosexuality as a result of early familial and/or sexual trauma, Pre-Kinsey 1950s, to the Post-Kinsey view of homosexuality as normal and children as born gay. The shift was sustained by the Fourth Estate--turning a police raid on a boy prostitution hub (the 1969 Stonewall Riots) into a clarion call for freedom. And the diffusion is seen in the magical transformation of AIDS from a fatal, infectious disease caused largely by violent forms of aberrant promiscuity into a homophobic attack on minority rights. The on-going media campaign effect is visible in the eight-year shift from youthful rejection to acceptance, even practice of homosexuality. A recent teen poll conducted by the establishment media teen magazine Seventeen, claimed that 17% of teens polled in 1991 versus 54% polled in 1999 accept homosexuality as appropriate. Seventeen casually noted: Teens today are likely to experiment: 21% have fantasized about fooling around with someone of the same sexand 15% say they have actually done so. As in Seventeen, at the same time that establishment media carelessly announces juvenile homosexual experimentation, it suppresses data on the culture of inter-gay violencemen battered and killed by pickups and prostitutes--although these cases are often reported by the

Crafting Gay Children From Judith Reismans Law and The Social Sciences. Westlaw journal articles cite Kinsey positively roughly 650 times (1982-2000) from hate crimes and homosexual marriage to child custody and rape. The Social Science and Science Citation Indices reference Kinsey roughly 6,000 times over this same period. On the evidence, Kinsey is far and away the most influential sex scientist in the law. Fully100% of the sex science citations in the original 1955 American Law Institutes Model Penal Code cite Kinseys dataalive today in courts and legislatures. Slandering Dissenters. His critics were largely ignored and/or slandered by Kinsey and establishment media, as sexually repressed, ignorantly religious, mean spirited, unscientific, and backward. Continued media applause prized Kinsey as the prophet of the sexual revolution. In my book on the subject, I argue that Americas growing libidinous pathologies--taught as safe and safer sex in primary, secondary and graduate schools and reflected in our fine and popular arts, the press, law and public policy--largely mirror the documented sexual psychopathologies of the Kinsey team itself. This free sex movement coarsened the populace by demoting sex from its rarified, idealistic marital pedestal and private expression into public display, discourse and performance. One of the expressions of Kinseys grand scheme would be the revival of the traffic in both adult and child heterosexual and homosexual prostitution and pornography. III. IMPLEMENTING THE KINSEY DATA Post-Kinsey, Hefner And Hay Launch The Sex Industry: The White Slave Trade, sex traffic in women and children was finally crippled in 1912 by the Mann Act, based on the realization that children are asexual and deserving of governmental protection from adult sexual predators. Child prostitution centers closed everywhere, and venereally infected and dying children were nursed and buried by womens church groups. However, Post-Kinseys sexual revolution the child sex industry rose again, carried forward by two Kinsey acolytes. A virginal college youth, Hugh Hefner, read Kinsey and became his pamphleteer aiming to legitimize adult (and, more subtly, child) pornography. Harry Hay, a bisexual communist (molested as a boy by a man) read Kinseys claim that 10% of men are homosexual, left his wife and children and began the campaign to legitimize sodomy. Hay elevated sodomy from a defining pathological and illegal act to a state of being. Homosexuals, Hay said, are an oppressed minority deserving special or civil rights thereby spawning the gay rights movement. Flowing continuously from this movement of approximately two percent of the American population has been a growing traffic in male child pornography and prostitution. Kinseys anthem of sexual promiscuity without consequences would be played out over the decades, but Kinseys data were silent on the disastrous consequences of public sex-- prostitution, public sexual solicitations, sodomy and obscenity, venereal disease, illegitimacy, abortion, drug abuse, suicide, rape, homicide, child sexual abuse and a myriad of other social disorders. Abandoning Public Morals: Absent bad consequences, Kinsey, Hefner and Hay said, laws restricting public or private sexual activity were obsolete. Post 1948, pressured by media, scholars and with the legal profession parroting the Rockefeller-funded Kinsey, the omnipresent vice squads rapidly disappeared. Kinseys fallacy of promiscuous, public-sex-without-consequences fueled promiscuity as well as two dozen new STDs and the lethal AIDS. Kinsey admirer and Princeton historian David Allyn explained that, [Kinsey undermined] the very legitimacy of public morality itself In the post-WWII era, experts abandoned the concept of public morals, a concept which had underpinned the social control of American sexuality from the 1870's onward . Kinseys silence when it came to questions of public sexuality served Kinsey's deregulatory ends. (Emphasis added.) Normalizing Sodomy: Post-Kinsey, if sodomy and pubic sex were normal and harmless, it was logical for police and press to ignore homosexual cruising. of public parks, baths, rest rooms and other public spaces. It was also logical to ignore sex acts in heterosexual and homosexual adult pornography stores, films and other public entertainments. Consent became the single moral imperative surrounding sexual conduct for everyone. Psychiatry Follows Kinsey: Pre-Kinsey say the authors in The International Journal of Neuropsychiatric Medicine, psychiatry taught prostitution, bi/homosexuality, sadism, masochism, promiscuity and compulsive masturbation as unhealthy. But, Kinsey and his followers taught clinicians that sexual hypofunction is natural, healthy, and pleasurable. Mastery of masturbation is now seen as an important first lesson for the patient or couple undergoing sex therapy. Absent

[CTRL] CONGRESS ACTION: July 2, 2000
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CONGRESS ACTION: July 2, 2000 = NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE: As Al Gore's prospects of electoral victory in November become more problematic, his well-known Messianic complex is coming to the fore: "Elect me so I can save the world from global warming, or else you'll all die." Thus we see Gore's signature issue, global warming, being pushed onto the front burner (so to speak) once again. This month the federal government released a new study called "Climate Change Impacts on the United States: The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change". How much taxpayer money was spent on this latest exercise in trying to scare the public is anybody's guess. But we can be sure that those millions of dollars spent on what amounts to transparent campaign advertising for Al Gore (one of the inherent advantages of incumbency) will never be declared on any Federal Election Commission disclosure forms. Much of the fearmongering in this latest report, as well as most of the recent pronouncements about global warming from a variety of sources, trace a rise in global temperatures that began about a century ago. Perhaps those who actually learned history when schools actually taught facts rather than feelings, can think back to what they learned about medieval Europe, and recall what happened in Europe (and the rest of the world, of course) beginning roughly at the start of the 16th century and lasting several hundred years. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica: "Throughout most of what is commonly called the Little Ice Age (1500-1850).for much of the time the northern latitudes came under cool continental conditions. Observed temperature series in Europe from Paris to Leningrad show large fluctuations until 1850. Glacier advances are recorded in the Alps, in the Sierra Nevada, and in Alaska. Corresponding low sea levels are recorded by early tide gauge records in The Netherlands and Germany. Even in equatorial latitudes there are traces of mountain glacier advances (as in the Andes of Colombia)." (emphasis added) Guess what happened at the end of the "Little Ice Age", beginning at the end of the 19th century; that is, about a century ago. As the world emerged from this normal, cyclical cooling, average temperatures gradually began to get warmer, and sea levels gradually began to rise. Indeed, this has been the global trend since the end of the last major ice age, about 11,500 years ago. And this trend of increasing global temperatures and rising world-wide sea levels will continue (Al Gore's hysteria notwithstanding) until the next ice age. According to the World Book Encyclopedia: "An ice age generally lasts about 100,000 years; an interglacial period, from 10,000 to 20,000 years. The most recent ice age ended about 11,500 years ago. Most earth scientists expect that another ice age will follow the interglacial period in which we now live. . The most recent Pleistocene glaciers reached a depth of about 10,000 feet. When they were at their greatest extent, so much water was frozen in them that the sea level was at least 330 feet lower than it is now." Perhaps it is necessary to point out that none of these climate fluctuations -- not the Pleistocene Ice Age that ended 11,500 years ago, nor the Little Ice Age that ended about 150 years ago -- had anything whatsoever to do with human activities, nor with the internal combustion engine that Gore is so intent on banning: "Within the context of the Strategic Environment Initiative, it ought to be able to establish a coordinated global program to accomplish the strategic goal of completely eliminating the internal combustible engine." (Earth in the Balance). But unlike King Canute, who knew he could not stop the tide with his command, Gore actually thinks that he can control the world's climate. A prime example of the consequences of this dangerous arrogance is the current spike in gasoline prices caused, at least in part, by the EPA's mandates for ethanol and MTBE to be added to gasoline to combat ground level ozone (smog). The National Research Council found: ".the overall impact.is very small"; and further, that ethanol actually ".increase(s) the overall potential of emissions to form ozone." EPA's alleged "fix", in other words, actually increases the problem. On May 17, 2000, members of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation (John McCain, Chairman) heard testimony on the scientific research on global warming. The testimony of John Christy, Professor of Atmospheric Science and Director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, may be instructive: "I want to encourage the committee to be suspicious of media reports in which weather extremes are given as proof of human induced climate change. Weather extremes occur somewhere all the time." He concluded with a question, and a common-sense
[CTRL] FBI Trains New Agents on Holocaust
FBI Trains New Agents on Holocaust .c The Associated Press By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI has begun teaching its new agents how a failure by police to protect citizen rights helped produce the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews, as well as other minorities and political dissidents were murdered by the Nazis. The training segment for agents-to-be at the FBI Academy began last month and was announced Friday by FBI Director Louis J. Freeh; Sara J. Bloomfield, director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. ``We do this early on in their training ... to remind them of the horror and evil which can result from not just a government, but particularly law enforcement, abandoning its mission to protect people and becoming the engine of oppression,'' Freeh said. The trainees are given a guided tour of the Holocaust Museum here and instruction about Adolf Hitler's use of the police in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s to round up Jews, political opponents and other targeted groups. There is a classroom discussion and then trainees must write an essay on the question: ``Of what relevance is this history to you as a human being and a law enforcement official?'' After the first session, one student wrote, ``It has taught me that making sure our Constitution is strictly followed should be a number one priority throughout my career.'' Another said: ``It will help me remember my greatest duty to preserve human life and protect the civil rights of every man, woman and child.'' Bloomfield, the museum director, said, ``Much of the Holocaust was perpetrated or supported by trained professionals who were `doing their job.' The museum's program with the FBI challenges law enforcement agents to examine the moral dimensions of their professions.'' The topic of police complicity in the Holocaust has been a concern of Freeh's for some time. In 1994, over objections from the State Department and the U.S. ambassador to Poland, Freeh visited the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz during a European trip and gave a speech at Jagellonian University in nearby Krakow, Poland, on the police role in Hitler's oppression. Freeh researched and wrote the speech himself with help from Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. ``We must be morally responsible for what we do,'' Freeh said Friday. ``We have to understand and protect not just the people we serve, but the moral and ethical values and human dignities that are so important to us all.'' Foxman applauded the FBI's commitment to ``law enforcement's critical role as defenders of the Constitution and guardians of individual rights'' and said the training ``has tremendous potential to impact the next generation of law enforcement leadership.'' At its International Law Enforcement Academy in Budapest, Hungary, the FBI has taught a course in human dignity to more than 1,000 police officers from former communist countries. -- Kathleen Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent. - Justice Louis D.

He was asked what, if any, recollection he had of speaking with Maria Hsia - who has since been convicted of procuring $100,000 in illegal donations for the Democrats during the 1996 Clinton/Gore campaign - at the event. âI have none,â said âStonewallâ Gore.

June 16, reports the Houston Chronicle, and yet, there has been little national media coverage, no discussion from the usual commentators and savants, and no comment from the White House. The gun control lobby, the anti-militia crowd, and their assorted left-wing camp followers have been silent. Even though this private army was reported to be carrying AK-47s, which have been illegal in the U.S. since the 1930s, the Houston DAs office doesnt expect to file charges. Far less evidence of illegal weaponry resulted in the Waco home invasion and subsequent holocaust in April 1993. Why the double standard? This militia was part of the New Black Panther Party. Along with the National Black United Front and the New Black Muslim Movement, the Panthers were protesting outside the George R. Brown Convention Center while the State GOP was being addressed by Laura Bush, wife of the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee. The issue, which prompted the Panthers to don their jack-boots and black uniforms, was the death penalty, particularly as it pertains to the scheduled execution of convicted murderer Gary Graham. That the Black Panthers would advocate against the death penalty, given their own well-documented history of executions against traitors, is in and of itself the epitome of hypocrisy. Panther leader Quanell X was quoted by the Chronicle as saying We believe we have a divine duty and a divine obligation to stand up for any Black man on Death Row about to be executed for a crime he didnt commit. We all have an obligation to stand up for any innocent man on death row, however, Quanell X doesnt elaborate on why he thinks Graham, convicted of murder by a jury of his peers, is innocent. The question of guilt or innocence, particularly in capitol offences demands high levels of proof in all cases. Such standards would end the implied charges of racism. As head of the Black Panthers, Quanell X inherits the mantle of a group whose opposition to the death penalty is entirely dialectical rather than fundamental. There was other non-militia groups protesting outside the convention. The Black Panthers, under the leadership of Marxist revolutionaries Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, was a violent anti-American gang of thugs that regularly engaged in shootings, bombings, extortion, racketeering, crime and subversion. The only difference between them and the Mafia, or the crips and bloods, is that they assumed a Marxist posture thus winning the adulation of much of the self-hating liberal establishment. Their public utterances and actions present a record of advocating the replacement of the U.S.Government with a peoples republic. Their method was to instigate race war. David Horowitz, author of Radical Son, worked with the Black Panthers in the 1970s and provides excellent research on their background. Unlike the demonized right wing militias, which, for the most part, have maintained a record of law abidance and support for the Constitution, the Black Panthers, violent criminals, make the left feel all warm and fuzzy. Since they mouth Marxist ideals they have received large foundation grants and get invited to dinner parties at the penthouses of such radical chic figures as composer Leonard Bernstein. The Black Panthers have been celebrated in books and movies and have been held up as Black Leaders by our establishment press. The introduction of violence, and in the case of Cleaver, rape, as a legitimate means of effecting social change has been their contribution to our American way of life. Abolition of the death penalty is emerging as the main weapon in the desperate presidential campaign of Vice President Al Gore. Never mind that then Governor and Presidential candidate Bill Clinton refused to grant clemency to death row inmate Rickey Ray Rector, a mentally impaired man who was unable to comprehend his imminent demise. Rector, as he was being led to his execution, left the pecan pie from his last dinner under the bed to be eaten later. Never mind that Bushs predecessor, liberal Governor Ann Richards presided over several executions. The death penalty serves several functions for Gores left-wing core constituency. The big lie is that Bush is mean-spirited by signing on to it and that hes racist because of the fact that a high percentage of death row inmates are Black.
[CTRL] Address to the Republican Banquet in Chicago, Illinois
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Address to the Republican Banquet in Chicago, Illinois Abraham Lincoln December 10, 1856 We have another annual Presidential Message. Like a rejected lover, making merry at the wedding of his rival, the President felicitates hugely over the late Presidential election. He considers the result a signal triumph of good principles and good men, and a very pointed rebuke of bad ones. He says the people did it. He forgets that the "people," as he complacently calls only those who voted for Buchanan, are in a minority of the whole people, by about four hundred thousand votersâ one full tenth of all the voters. Remembering this, he might perceive that the "Rebuke" may not be quite as durable as he seems to thinkâ that the majority may not choose to remain permanently rebuked by that minority. The President thinks the great body of us Fremonters, being ardently attached to liberty, in the abstract, were duped by a few wicked and designing men. There is a slight difference of opinion on this. We think he, being ardently attached to the hope of a second term, in the concrete, was duped by men who had liberty every way. He is in the catâs paw. By much dragging of chestnuts from the fire for others to eat, his claws are burnt off to the gristle, and he is thrown aside as unfit for further use. As the fool said to King Lear, when his daughters had turned him out of doors, "Heâs a shelled peaâs cod." So far as the President charges us "with a desire to change the domestic institutions of existing States;" and of "doing everything in our power to deprive the Constitution and the laws of moral authority," for the whole party, on belief, and for myself, on knowledge, I pronounce the charge an unmixed, and unmitigated, falsehood. Our government rests in public opinion. Whoever can change public opinion, can change the government, practically just so much. Public opinion, on any subject, always has a "central idea," from which all its minor thoughts radiate. That "central idea" in our political public opinion, at the beginning was, and until recently has continued to be, "the equality of men." And although it was always submitted patiently to whatever of inequality there seemed to be as matter of actual necessity, its constant working has been a steady progress towards the practical equality of all men. The late Presidential election was a struggle, by one party, to discard that central idea, and to substitute for it the opposite idea that slavery is right, in the abstract, the workings of which, as a central idea, may be the perpetuity of human slavery, and its extension to all countries and colors. Less than a year ago, the Richmond Enquirer, an avowed advocate of slavery, regardless of color, in order to favor his views, invented the phrase, "State equality," and now the President, in his Message, adopts the Enquirerâs catch-phrase, telling us the people "have asserted the constitutional equality of each and all of the States of the Union as States." The President flatters himself that the new central idea is completely inaugurated; and so, indeed, it is, so far as the mere fact of a Presidential election can inaugurate it. To us it is left to know that the majority of the people have not yet declared for it, and to hope that they never will. All of us who did not vote for Mr. Buchanan, taken together, are a majority of four hundred thousand. But, in the late contest we were divided between Fremont and Fillmore. Can we not come together, for the future. Let every one who really believes, and is resolved, that free society is not, and shall not be, a failure, and who can conscientiously declare that in the past contest he has done only what he thought bestâ let every such one have charity to believe that every other one can say as much. Thus let bygones be bygones. Let past differences, as nothing be; and with steady eye on the real issue, let us reinaugurate the good old "central ideas" of the Republic. We can do it. The human heart is with usâ God is with us. We shall again be able not to declare, that "all States as States, are equal," nor yet that "all citizens as citizens are equal," but to renew the broader, better declaration, including both these and much more, that "all men are created equal."

But he COULD pull enough votes to cause George W to lose in a close election. That IS a possibility - especially if Buchanan gets his hands on that $12.6 million in matching funds to broadcast his message. So why take chances if there is a way to knock Pat out of this contest early? Iâm not willing to risk seeing Prince Albert sworn in to replace Bill Clinton next January - and hope youâre not either.

I am not an anarchist though I love and support what the more radical Anarchists are doing. I am NOT a Libertarian of any sort whatsoever. Historically (and currently) many radical 'anarchists' have styled themselves as "libertarians"; and argue that right-wing 'anarcho'-capitalist types have insultingly usurped and perverted the term. I falsely assumed you might have felt the same way. Once again, I stand corrected. Please excuse. I hate Right Libertarians because I consider them a bunch of greedy, shallow, self centered shits who would sell children chocolate covered rat poison if " the Market " demanded it, and would cuss out the Gubbment if they tried to regulate them. The VAST majority of right-libertarians, when they hear the term "free market capitalism" (so-called), their minds seem turn to mush, and "anything goes" with regards to this sacred cow. Until not too long ago, I tended to be the same way. As with Nessie, I have little problem with 'free market' exchanges and commerce amongst fairly equal individuals, or groups of individuals, but I do have a problem when such relationships are compelled between individuals and vastly unequal legal fictions grunching around like 'giants'. As Bucky puts it: "Each of the giants of today's great Grunch is a quadrillionfold more formidable than was Goliath. Each is entirely invisible, abstract, and completely ruthless -- not because those who run the show are malevolent but because the giant is a non-human corporation, a many-centuriesold, royal-legal-advisor-invented institution. The giant is a so one-sidedly biased abstract legal invention that its exploitation by the power structures of thirty generations have made the XYZ corporations and companies seemingly as much a part of nature as the phases of the Moon and clouds of the sky" I like Noam Chomsky who calls himself a Left Libertarian. Not because he is a Libertarian, but because he is very smart and very honest. There are things he puts out which I personally don't hold by. AND, his take on what we did to Yugoslavia is wrong. I've tended to agree with most of his writings I've come across so far, especially his insights on propaganda and the newsfakers, but I haven't read much on his Yugoslavia opinions. In what way are they "wrong"? [I assume he must have supported the interventions (extortion and murders) the Western terrocrats (terrorist-bureaucrats) have perpetrated]. In any case, it is better to be a Left Libertarian than a Right Libertarian if you have any aspirations of becoming a human being.

[CTRL] The Myth of Natural Law
from: An Anarchist FAQ Version 8.3 - 13-Apr-2000 http://flag.blackened.net/intanark/faq/ Section F.7: What is the myth of "Natural Law"? Natural Law, and the related concept of Natural Rights, play an important part in Libertarian and "anarcho"-capitalist ideology. Right-libertarians are not alone in claiming that their particular ideology is based on the "law of nature". Hitler, for one, claimed the same thing for Nazi ideology. So do numerous other demagogues, religious fanatics, and political philosophers. However, each likes to claim that only their "natural law" is the "real" one, all the others being subjective impositions. We will ignore these assertions (they are not arguments) and concentrate on explaining why natural law, in all its forms, is a myth. In addition, we will indicate its authoritarian implications. Instead of such myths anarchists urge people to "work it out for themselves" and realise that any ethical code is subjective and not a law of nature. If its a good "code", then others will become convinced of it by your arguments and their intellect. There is no need to claim its a function of "man's nature"! The following books discuss the subject of "Natural Law" in greater depth and are recommended for a fuller discussion of the issues raised in this section: Robert Anton Wilson, Natural Law and L.A. Rollins, The Myth of Natural Law. We should note that these books are written by people associated, to some degree, with right-libertarianism and, of course, we should point out that not all right-libertarians subscribe to "natural law" theories (David Friedman, for example, does not). However, such a position seems to be the minority in right-Libertarianism (Ayn Rand, Robert Nozick and Murray Rothbard, among others, did subscribe to it). We should also point out that the Individualist Anarchist Lysander Spooner also subscribed to "natural laws" (which shows that, as we noted above, the concept is not limited to one particular theory or ideology). We present a short critique of Spooner's ideas on this subject in section G.7. Lastly, it could be maintained that it is a common "straw man" to maintain that supporters of Natural Law argue that their Laws are like the laws of physics (and so are capable of stopping people's actions just as the law of gravity automatically stops people flying from the Earth). But that is the whole point -- using the term "Natural Law" implies that the moral rights and laws that its supporters argue for are to be considered just like the law of gravity (although they acknowledge, of course, that unlike gravity, their "natural laws" can be violated in nature). Far from saying that the rights they support are just that (i.e. rights they think are good) they try to associate them with universal facts. For example, Lysander Spooner (who, we must stress, used the concept of "Natural law" to oppose the transformation of America into a capitalist society, unlike Rand, Nozick and Rothbard who use it to defend capitalism) stated that: "the true definition of law is, that it is a fixed, immutable, natural principle; and not anything that man ever made, or can make, unmake, or alter. Thus we speak of the laws of matter, and the laws of mind; of the laws of gravitation, the laws of light, heat, and electricity. . .etc., etc. . . . The law of justice is just as supreme and universal in the moral world, as these others are in the mental or physical world; and is as unalterable as are these by any human power. And it is just as false and absurd to talk of anybody's having the power to abolish the law of justice, and set up their own in its stead, as it would be to talk of their having the power to abolish the law of gravitation, or any other natural laws of the universe, and set up their own will in the place of them." [A Letter to Grover Cleveland, p. 88] Rothbard and other capitalist supporters of "Natural Law" make the same sort of claims (as we will see). Now, why, if they are aware of the fact that unlike gravity their "Natural Laws" can be violated, do they use the term at all? Benjamin Tucker said that "Natural Law" was a "religious" concept -- and this provides a clue. To say "Do not violate these rights, otherwise I will get cross" does not have quite the same power as "Do not violate these rights, they are facts of natural and you are violating nature" (compare to "Do not violate these laws, or you will go to hell"). So to point out that "Natural Law" is not the same as the law of gravity (because it has to be enforced by humans) is not attacking some kind of "straw man" -- it is exposing the fact that these "Natural Laws" are just the personal prejudices of those who hold them. If they do not want then to be exposed as such then they should call their laws what they are -- personal ethical laws -- rather than compare them to the facts of nature. F.7.1 Why the term "Natural Law" in the first place? Murray Rothbard claims that "Natural Law theory rests on
[CTRL] De-Christianizing America
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! De-Christianizing America By Chuck Baldwin June 30, 2000 Several Christian organizations in the San Francisco area recently ran an ad campaign designed to reach homosexuals. Television ads proclaimed, "The dream that I thought could never happen â having a wife and kids â has finally come true. If youâre hurting, lonely or confused, Jesus can set you free." Reaction to the ad by city government was anything but enthusiastic. The cityâs Board of Supervisors claimed the ads were partially responsible for hostility toward homosexuals. They even charged the ads with being complicit in the death of Matthew Shephard. The city of San Francisco concluded the ads contributed to "horrible crimes committed against gays and lesbians," and requested local TV stations not to run them. Pro-family groups like the American Family Association and the Family Research Council filed a lawsuit to stop the city from issuing similar resolutions in the future. A federal judge recently ruled, however, the city was merely doing its "duty" to address concerns for "public safety." The implications of this ruling are enormous. Far from being neutral toward religious beliefs, federal courts and city governments are becoming more and more hostile toward religious beliefs, especially Christian beliefs. The message is clear: proclaiming the Christian Gospel is "hate" speech and will not be tolerated. Add to these twisted city ordinances and court rulings the part the propaganda press is playing in de-Christianizing America. Just recently, ABC devoted two hours of prime time programming impugning the Christian faith. Throughout our nation, public education, from grammar schools to college and university classrooms, inundates our youth with blatant attacks upon the Christian religion. Night after night, prime time television does the same thing. Compare this attitude to that of the Founding Fathers. John Quincy Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity." He continued, "Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day (July 4)? Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemerâs mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets 600 years before?" Likewise, Patrick Henry declared, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Noah Webster, the father of public education, spoke unequivocally saying, "No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people." He went on to say, "The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles - and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government." If the American people werenât intoxicated with prosperity and pleasure, they would see that this attempt to de-Christianize our nation is an act of war against our heritage. Our country is under siege as surely as though an alien army was landing on our shores.

[CTRL] China weighs battle with U.S.
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! China weighs battle with U.S. The red missiles came in low over the calm waters between China and Taiwan, slicing through the cold November air at a frantic pace, turning each nose-cone a cherry red. Taiwanese radar operators frantically scrambled to warn their nation of the incoming danger, but they were snuffed out by the onslaught. Offshore, a U.S. Aegis cruiser helplessly watched on its radar as dozens of warheads streaked across the night sky, into the tiny island nation. The first missiles from Chinese 2nd Artillery mobile units were aimed at critical targets inside Taiwan, landing with a combination of deadly accurate conventional bombs and nerve gas. This first shower lasted for only one minute -- 60 seconds of death from the sky. The rain of Dong Feng, or "East Wind," missiles poured into the island, spilling deadly nerve gas, cutting power and communications with a shower of cluster bombs. The sudden attack also instantly grounded most of the Taiwanese Air Force while killing thousands of civilians in a silent cloud of death that drifted throughout the night. The second rain consisted of only one drop, a single Dong Feng missile. The single bomb fell from the night sky into downtown Taipei unmolested, and detonated its small nuclear warhead only a few feet from its intended target. In a single blinding flash, most of the city died in a shower of deadly neutrons. What few who were left alive near ground zero were then consumed by the inferno of the nuclear blast and fire. The entire shower from the east lasts for only two minutes. However, during those two minutes over five hundred thousand Taiwanese died and Taipei disappeared under a shroud of radioactive death. The tiny island, critically wounded and diplomatically isolated, falls in three days to Beijing's occupation force of one million soldiers. Could this happen? Will China go to war over Taiwan? The U.S. defense and political establishment may continue to debate the question of war -- but the People's Liberation Army Central Military Command has already issued orders. "Taking into account of possible intervention by the U.S. and based on the development strategy of our country, it is better to fight now than (in the) future -- the earlier, the better," states official document number 199965 from the Chinese Central Military Command. "We will gain control of Taiwan before full deployment of the U.S. troops," states the Chinese army report. "In this case, the only thing the U.S. can do is fight a war with the purpose of retaliation, which will be similar to the Gulf War against Iraq or the recent bombing of Yugoslavia as far as its operational objective is concerned, namely to first attack from the sky and the sea our coastal military targets, and then attack our vital civil facilities so as to force us to accept its terms like Iraq or Yugoslavia." Would China risk combat with U.S. forces over tiny Taiwan? The last direct, full-scale combat between U.S. and Chinese soldiers occurred a half century ago in the bloody stalemate called Korea. Warfare today is high-tech and the U.S. has the advantage, right? "When both sides rely mainly on missile strikes based on electronic confrontation, we evidently enjoy a superiority in terms of the number of short-range and middle-range missiles," answers the Chinese military report. "It can safely be expected that once the U.S. launches an attack, the front lines of the U.S. forces and their supporting bases will be exposed within the range of our effective strikes. After the first strategic strike, the U.S. forces will be faced with weaponry and logistic problems, providing us with opportunities for major offensives and win large battles." "Our principle is 'willing to sustain major losses of our armed forces to defend even just one square inch of land,'" states the Chinese army report. "If the U.S. forces lose thousands or hundreds of men under our powerful strikes, the anti-war sentiment within their country will force the U.S. government to take the same path as they did in Viet Nam." "Even if we successfully carry out interception and control the sky, our military and civil facilities will still incur some damages. The damages will be more extensive if the war cannot be ended within a short period of time and the U.S. launch the second and third strikes," the Chinese command report continues. Would China risk international isolation and war with U.S allies such as Japan and Europe? U.S. forces have deployed and fought with allies together in Iraq and Yugoslavia. Would they join the U.S. in a war against China? "Internationally, the many obstacles to the resolution of (the) Taiwan issue have been put in by the United States, while Japan has a complicated attitude towards our handling of (the) Taiwan issue, but because of historical and geographical reasons," answers the Chinese military report, "Japan does

[CTRL] A Press Obsession With the Death Penalty
A Press Obsession With the Death Penalty By Michael Kelly Wednesday, June 28, 2000 ; A25 A newcomer to this country reading the mainstream press and watching television in this election year, would easily discern one of the issues of greatest concern to voters: George W. Bush's position on the death penalty. A Nexis search Monday for stories mentioning Bush at least three times and the words "death penalty" or "executions" or "capital punishment" at least three times pulled up 505 hits--news articles, TV transcripts, press releases, etc.--within the previous week alone. Narrowing the search to The Post, the New York Times and "major newspapers" turned up 12 hits in the Times over the previous seven days, four in the Post and 139 in the major newspapers. Over the previous month, the total was 25 items in the Times alone, 16 in the Post and 303 in the major newspapers. The newcomer would learn all sorts of things about Bush and the death penalty. He would learn that Texas led the country in executions. He would learn that DNA testing had cleared a number of people convicted of death penalty crimes, and that a study of death penalty sentences found that more than two-thirds that are appealed are eventually overturned because of errors in the ways in which the cases were investigated or tried. He would learn that such findings as these had moved the governor of Illinois to suspend the death penalty in his state--but that Gov. Bush had stubbornly refused to back off of his support for capital punishment. What the newcomer would not learn is that, in fact, the question of Bush's support for the death penalty--or for that matter, the question of the death penalty itself--was not of the slightest interest to the great majority of voters. Support for the death penalty is consistent and relatively stable; although it has declined somewhat during recent months of heavy anti-death penalty news coverage, it still is above 60 percent in every public opinion poll. What is more, the death penalty is simply not of voting concern to almost everybody. A look through 16 recent national polls questioning adults as to the most important issues facing the nation finds the death penalty unmentioned. The voters know that the president has almost nothing to do with capital punishment, and that, in this election anyway, there isn't a dime's worth of difference between the two major candidates on the issue. All of this illustrates a curious thing that has happened to presidential elections--the rise of the media as a major force, perhaps the major force, in defining what are and what are not issues. With the passing of party bosses and a long run of public complacency, the press has been able to fill a vacuum, and has established itself in presidential years as not only the Great Mentioner but the Great Decider. In their secret hearts, I think, most journalists feel this is not a bad thing at all. For the good of the nation, someone has to decide, and who better than the disinterested guardians of a free society--us? But there are several problems here. One is that, as surveys show, the media are far more homogenous than the general population in their views, and these views are far more liberal. Another is that the media's role in choosing and framing issues conflicts with their role in objectively informing the public. The invention of the Bush death penalty issue is typical of the media's habit of creating issues that skew coverage to (a) advance liberal causes and/or (b) favor the Democrat and disfavor the Republican . Journalists like to think that they think (and write) without bias. But everyone else knows that this is absurd. What journalists choose and how journalists frame inescapably arises out of what journalists believe. And, as a group, journalists believe in liberalism and in electing Democrats. Consider two election-year bows to bigotry, George Bush's visit to Bob Jones University and Al Gore's visit with Al Sharpton. The first was deemed a big issue, with 884 Nexis hits to date, and the tone of coverage overwhelmingly critical of Bush. The second was deemed much less an issue--only 323 hits and relatively little criticism. Yet pandering to Sharpton would strike most people, I think, as at least as bad as pandering to Bob Jones. Who decided one mattered a lot and the other not so much? Just we few, our little objective unbiased selves, bringing you the issues that are fit to print.

[CTRL] Green' Gore falls foul of a polluted river
London Sunday Times July 2 2000 UNITED STATES Mining on Gore's land threatens a river that is home to crayfish and woodpeckers 'Green' Gore falls foul of a polluted river Matthew Campbell, Washington IN AN unwelcome development for a presidential candidate who bills himself as a champion of the environment, Al Gore, the Democrat contender, is being accused of profiting from the pollution of a river in his native Tennessee. The state's environmental authorities have warned a zinc mining company operating on Vice-President Gore's farm that waste is endangering wildlife. Over the years, Gore has collected $500,000 in royalties from the mining. After allegations that he is also benefiting from the plunder of virgin South American rainforest, the latest complaint has promoted charges of hypocrisy. In 1992, his book Earth in the Balance, an impassioned plea for action against pollution threats imperiling the planet, cautioned that "the lakes and rivers sustain us; they flow through the veins of the earth and into our own. But we must take care to let them flow back out as pure as they came, not poison and waste them without thought for the future." Gore appears to have fallen short of this noble ideal in his own back yard. On May 16, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation issued a "notice of violation" to Pasminco Zinc, a company that has been paying Gore $20,000 a year for the privilege of extracting metal from beneath his farm in the picturesque Cumberland river valley. The department warned of high zinc levels in the Caney Fork river and said Pasminco "may be subject to enforcement action". Although Gore grew up mainly in Washington, where his father worked as a senator, he has often waxed lyrical about the summers he spent as a youth on the farm in Tennessee. Writing about his father, Gore said: "We loved to swim together in the Caney Fork river off a big flat rock on the back side of his farm." That may seem less appealing today. Another complaint said effluent had put toxic metals in the river. "The combined effect of these pollutants may be detrimental to fish and aquatic life," said authorities in 1996, warning that a species of water flea was at risk of being poisoned. The river is home to a species of crayfish and to birds such as the red-headed woodpecker. It is not only his dealings with Pasminco Zinc, however, that are casting doubt over the extent of Gore's commitment to the environmentalist gospel.Activists accuse him of turning a blind eye to the rape of rainforests in Latin America through long-standing ties to Occidental Petroleum, the original owner of the land being mined on his farm. Armand Hammer, Occidental's founder, supported Senator Gore, bought and sold the mineral rights to him and later contributed to his son's political campaigns. A multi-billion-dollar oil- drilling scheme by Occidental in Colombia has provoked violent protest and threats of mass suicide from the U'wa Indians protecting their ancestral land. Supporters of the Indians link Gore's failure to intervene in the dispute with the fact that his family stands to gain financially from any increase in the worth of Occidental's shares. A Gore family trust holds $500,000 worth of stock. Gore has long been plagued by charges of hypocrisy. In 1996 he famously invoked his sister's death from lung cancer as a way of attacking the tobacco industry. Then it was revealed that the family farm had prospered from growing tobacco in the past. Similarly, he has repeatedly tried to attach his name to campaign finance reform efforts while under investigation for alleged fundraising offences - which he denies - in the 1996 presidential campaign. As this year's campaign intensifies, however, the alleged contradictions between his public rhetoric and private arrangements are proving more damaging than stories of the misspent youth of George W Bush, the Republican rival leading him by 12 points in the polls. Gore was ridiculed recently when asked what had happened to e-mails that had gone missing from his White House office just as investigators were seeking evidence of illegal fundraising. "I'm not an expert on computers," he said. It seemed a surprising admission for a politician who once claimed to have played a vital role in inventing the internet and whose enthusiasm for technology - he travels with a Palm Pilot on his belt - has led to suggestions of "nerdism". At the same time, Gore's commitment to building energy-efficient, environmentally friendly homes - last week he proposed $2,000 tax credits for Americans who implement his blueprint - seems at odds with grim conditions for the family renting a house he owns 150 yards from his Tennessee farm. Tracy Mayberry says she complained more than 30 times to Gore's property managers about overflowing lavatories, peeling plaster and cracked floors. She, her disabled husband and their eight children were eventually served with an eviction order.
[CTRL] Contempt of congress
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Contempt of congress Tennessee legislators lash out at tax-protesting constituents By Patrick Poole © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Civility on the part of public servants seems to be wearing thin in Tennessee, as legislators, under pressure from Gov. Don Sundquist to pass a state income tax, clash with voters who have shown themselves to be overwhelmingly opposed to the measure. As WorldNetDaily reported recently, Tennessee legislators have been under a constant barrage of phone calls, e-mails and catcalls in the hallways of the state Capitol since a bill that would have implemented an income tax appeared on the verge of passing two weeks ago. Tennessee is one of nine states without a state income tax. But to many Tennesseans, the most disturbing aspect to the tax battle has been the overt contempt shown them by some legislators for having made their voices heard in regards to the state budget process. One such incident, reported last week in the Murfreesboro Daily News Journal, involved one the of the leading pro-income-tax legislators, Rep. Mary Ann Eckles. According to the news report, Eckles was approached during a legislative recess by tax protestors David and Sandra Brunner, who said they had brought their children to the tax rally for its educational value. When the Brunners asked Eckles to vote against the proposed tax increase, the legislator became agitated and stated, "The people of my district are all for the income tax." But when the Brunners stated that they lived in her district and that they and many of their friends and co-workers were against the state income tax, Eckles angrily replied, "The people of my district don't know what they need. They haven't studied it like I have." Eckles did not respond to requests by WorldNetDaily for comment for this story. In response to Eckles' comments, Sandra Brunner stated that it's hard for legislators to believe that citizens can have intelligent thoughts of their own. "It seems to be OK when we blindly accept their take on all issues, but then they blame the most outspoken and visible individuals, like talk radio, for 'leading us astray' if anyone differs from their viewpoint," she said. Republicans are also reacting with dismay at the huge numbers of constituents contacting their representatives through the new democratic medium -- e-mail. During a House floor session last Tuesday, Rep. Bob Patton derided the efforts of those expressing their opinions on the income-tax issue. "All those e-mails we get, I just wipe them off. I don't read them. I'd like them to know they are wasting their time," he said. Legislative contempt is nothing new for Tennesseans, who have seen three attempts to pass a state income tax in the past 14 months. During a special legislative session dedicated to the income tax issue last November, Rep. Tommy Head, one of the leading state budget negotiators, told an audience gathered for an income tax debate sponsored by a local talk radio station that decisions on important state matters shouldn't be left to the people, but rather to legislators. "We don't need a referendum to make our decisions. We're the ones who are supposed to be educated and know about the issues," Head said. The phenomenon isn't exclusive to just to House members either. After a constituent contacted Sen. Steve Cohen during last year's budget battle, Cohen replied with a message left on the constituent's answering machine inviting him to call back. Thinking that the call had been disconnected, Cohen turned to an aide and called his constituent an "S.O.B." and complained that the constituent had used an 800 number that allowed him to connect to legislators' offices toll-free. Ironically, Cohen was the Senate sponsor of the legislation authorizing the toll-free line to the state Capitol to increase accessibility to legislators. However, the constituent's answering machine was still recording and captured Cohen's comments, a tape of which was passed off to a local Memphis radio station. When confronted by reporters about his derogatory comments, Cohen replied, "I felt no need to encourage additional comments from this particular person." The income tax is not the only issue to have generated legislative ire over the past year. After several state legislators were caught by a Nashville TV station's hidden camera accepting a free golf trip to the Gulf Coast last year courtesy of a state contractor, Jack Morgan sent a critical e-mail to his representative, Rep. Paul Phelan, one of the offending legislators. Nothing could have prepared Morgan for Phelan's blistering response. "Dear whatever your name is, I was on the plane with Ron Cooper (the state contractor). Ron and I have been friends for 11 years. I've been in the House for seven, you do the math, imbecile," Phelan wrote. After letting loose a string of obscenities, Phelan said, "Why
[CTRL] FLASH! Clinton approves oil-price hikes *BREAKING FAST....*
[ Read the latest on how the Rapist has screwed us again. ] [ This is a Story that the established media thugs can't suppress much longer. ] [ Though written May 9th, this Story is just now surfacing as a HOT item in the underground media. I learned of it by listening to Ray Briem's Talk Show tonight on AM970 KIEV, Los Angeles/Glendale, California, where he had as his guest the Author Mr. Smith ] TUESDAYMAY 92000 BLACK-GOLD BLUES Clinton approvesoil-price hikes Official: Administration backs increases to help Russia, Indonesia, Mexico, Iran By Charles Smith© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com Oil ministers from OPEC nations have quietly told national security advisors on Capitol Hill that the oil production cutbacks -- and resulting price increases -- are being implemented at the request of the Clinton administration on behalf of Russia, Indonesia, Mexico and Iran. Russia, Mexico and Indonesia are reported to be directing their increased oil profits toward paying back overdue Western loans. According to one government defense adviser, the windfall profits are part of a larger scheme to use the American public to pay off failed and corrupt investment schemes in the three countries. "The American public is paying off bad loans to bad countries made by bad bankers," stated the national security adviser. The largest Middle Eastern oil producers reportedly agreed on the cutback of oil production in order to increase income for weapons purchases. Several oil states have announced major weapons buys from the West, including a recent multi-billion-dollar purchase of Lockheed/Martin F-16 fighter jets. "Iran is also trading oil to China in exchange for missile technology," stated the national security adviser. The gas hike has raised several concerns about the Clinton energy policy and U.S. national security. In recent years, OPEC has flooded the market with oil, lowering prices worldwide. The lower prices, according to Denise Bode, a commissioner on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, were designed to discourage investors in U.S. domestic oil production, maintaining a world monopoly for OPEC. "The OPEC cartel clearly understands that the Clinton energy policy is based on instant gratification," stated Bode, "seeking low gasoline prices and ignoring future consequences with a foreign cartel in charge of our national energy resources. "In 1997, OPEC acted to consolidate the American market by sending much cheaper oil, dumping it at historically low prices. The most significant energy policy initiated by the Clinton administration is a 4.3 cent increase in the gasoline tax," said Bode. "Another 30,000 Americans have lost their jobs. Domestic oil production has moved from holding steady to a 5.4 percent decline. Even though OPEC has recently cut back production and raised the price of oil to $30 a barrel, there has been no increase in domestic production." "It's very clear what OPEC should do if they want to retain control," stated Donald Hodel, former secretary of energy and secretary of interior during the Reagan administration. "Periodically, they should announce they are going to produce excess volumes of crude oil. The announcement itself will scare away some capital investment from new production. Secondarily, if that doesn't work, and from time to time to prove their point, they would have to overproduce, drive the price down dramatically, so that marginal wells in the United States will be shut down and new investment will be shut down worldwide." According to Hodel, the "green" movement has combined with OPEC to "erect straw arguments" against the U.S. energy industry. "I've never met anyone who said I want to breathe dirty air or drink polluted water," noted Hodel. "Yet, the green movement has succeeded in using clean air, clean water and garbage control as a means to seek de-industrialization in the U.S." "The problem is that the schools have been captured by the flaming environmentalists," noted Hodel. "We are not doing a decent job of getting the educational establishment to acknowledge the facts about the importance of energy production to our economy. "If we were rational about our energy policy, we would have a growing component in our society of nuclear power. The people who fought nuclear power have successfully stopped coal. They are now turning toward natural gas and oil. We made the point over and over that offshore drilling is less of an environmental hazard than transporting imported oil by tanker." Hodel concluded, "Our dependency on foreign oil affects our national security and our environment."

[CTRL] Fwd: The Guru
July 1 2000 BLAIR IN GERMANY The guru ©Times of London Tony Blair and Hans Küng, the theologian, at Tübingen yesterday, when the Prime Minister spoke on values and the power of the Community Photograph: DANIEL MAURER / AP Vatican 'reject' inspires Blair BY ROGER BOYES HANS KÜNG, once described as the Pope's Loyal Opposition, or chief critic, was anointed as Tony Blair's guru on "globalisation" yesterday. True, the territory is already rather crowded: Anthony Giddens and other experts have just cobbled together a book bearing a remarkable resemblance to the briefings that they have been giving the Prime Minister over the past years. But Professor Küng is special. Yesterday the Swiss-born theologian praised Mr Blair for his thoughts on the future of an international community and the Prime Minister returned the compliment, highlighting the professor's lecture in London as being the "best piece of writing on globalisation I have ever seen". The professor who was stripped by the Vatican of the right to lecture on Catholic theology, has visited Downing Street, and the relationship seems to be flourishing. The 72-year-old theologian was once considered a wunderkind by the Vatican and was invited by Pope Paul VI to take up Holy Orders: the idea being that he would have a high-flying church career if he subdued his criticism. "Did I miss a great chance?" he said, adding that he thinks he did not. "I would have had to sell my soul for spiritual power within the church." Professor Küng's talent was to popularise doubt. In bestselling paperbacks that caused great ructions in the German Catholic church, he argued against the infallibility of the Pope, tried to offer more human perspectives on the historical figure of Jesus Christ and criticised the role of the Vatican in the Holocaust. It was Pope John Paul II who finally approved the order to cut the troublesome theologian loose. He was denied the right to teach in the name of the church but was protected nonetheless by the University of Tübingen in Germany, which continued to employ him as a theology professor. It was the first major disciplinary act of the present Pope and was followed by a crackdown on other dissident theologians and central American proponents of the so-called Theology of Liberation. After his retirement in 1996, Professor Küng was invited to continue his work, on finding common issues between the faiths at a new institute. It is this work, crystallised in a book called Yes, to a Global Ethic, that brought Professor Küng into Mr Blair's orbit. A speech by Mr Blair yesterday could have been plagiarised from Professor Küng, stressing as it did, the need for managing - rather than resisting or ignoring - global change, and developing the idea of an international community.
