Freelance Writers Fight for Share of Online Profit

By Christopher Stern,
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 27, 2001; 11:51 PM

Freelance writers, among the lowest-paid and least powerful
figures in the literary world, will face off today in the U.S.
Supreme Court against some of the biggest and richest media
companies. The writers claim that publishers have illegally
plundered their work for the past 20 years by selling their
articles—without permission—to electronic databases and CD-ROM
companies.

At the center of the legal debate are several hundred thousand
articles that first appeared in newspapers and magazines and now
are being sold in electronic forms.

The freelancers argue that they should be paid for the electronic
recycling of their work. The publishers say they already
compensated the authors and should not have to pay twice for the
same material.

“The publishers all honestly believed they had paid fully for the
rights to include these articles in the paper edition, the
microfilm edition and the edition that gets published
electronically,” said Bruce P. Keller, a lawyer for the
publishers.

The Supreme Court arguments cap a seven-year battle between the
freelancers and leading publishers, including the New York Times,
Newsday and Time, the magazine division of AOL Time Warner Inc.
Other big media companies, including The Washington Post Co. and
Gannett Co., have filed legal papers in support of the
publishers. Lexis/Nexis, a database company, and University
Microfilms International, which produces CD-ROMs, are also
defendants.

The dispute is part of a wide-ranging battle over copyright laws.
The laws were written in an era of ink and paper but now are
being challenged by digital technology that allows anyone with an
Internet connection and a computer to copy huge amounts of
information and send it anywhere in the world.

Peter Jaszi, a law professor at American University, said the
case before the Supreme Court has similarities to the legal fight
between the major music companies and Napster, the online music
site, which has allowed users to download songs without the
permission of the copyright owners. In both cases, “we are
struggling to adapt rules written in an analog environment to a
digital environment,” Jaszi said.

Jaszi filed a legal brief in support of the writers on behalf of
the American Library Association and the Association of Research
Libraries.

The legal case chiefly turns on the question of whether the
databases and CD-ROMs are “revisions” of the original
publication, or an entirely new product. Copyright law allows the
sale of revisions of original material without additional
compensation to an author.

Freelancer Jonathan Tasini, who filed the writers’ case in 1993,
disputes the publishers’ claim that the electronic copies of
freelance articles are just another edition of the original
publication, and therefore not subject to additional fees.

Working with a database, a user can search for an individual
story or group it with similarly themed articles from other
publications. In effect, the user can create an entirely new
product from a variety of sources and authors, said Tasini, now
the president of the New York-based National Writers Union.

The marketplace has come to much of the same conclusion, Tasini
said. Look at how it treats such databases compared with how it
deals with material copied to microfilm—which creates an exact
copy of the original publications, but in a non-digital,
hard-to-copy form.

“With microfilm, you walk in to a library and scroll through it
for free. With Lexis-Nexis, you have to pay a lot of money,”
Tasini said. He thinks it is time for freelancers to benefit from
that extra revenue.

The publishers won the first round of the case in 1997, when a
federal judge in New York ruled that the databases are
essentially revisions of publications in electronic archives.
That decision was unanimously overturned in 1999 by the U.S.
Court of Appeals in New York, which ruled that a database
containing thousands of periodicals can “hardly be deemed a
revision of each edition of every periodical it contains.”

Last week, a federal appeals court in Atlanta decided a similar
case in favor of a photographer who contended that the National
Geographic Society had illegally used his pictures on a CD-ROM
without his permission. The court found that National Geographic
had “created a new product, in a new medium, for a new market
that far transcends any privilege of revision or other mere
reproduction envisioned” by copyright law.

Should the writers prevail before the Supreme Court, the database
companies would be forced to erase hundreds of thousands of
articles and pictures from their electronic files, creating a
huge hole in the historical record, said Keller, the lawyer for
the publishers.

“It is a 20-year record of history that is going to be gutted,”
Keller said. Publishers

Protesters Greet Clinton at Salem State College
Local Taxpayers Pay for Heavy Security; Police Are Everywhere

By Ed Oliver
March 27, 2001

At Salem State College last night, thousands of people waiting to hear Bill
Clinton’s speech lined up around the perimeter of the jammed parking lot,
slowly filing into the auditorium. Umbrellas were plentiful in the wet
weather.
Two groups of anti-Clinton protesters made their presence known at the
college

Meanwhile, in town a mile or so away, a group of protesters waited on a
street corner for the motorcade to pass.
“This is the grassy knoll,” shouted one street-corner protester to laughter.
Police cruisers with lights flashing blocked the intersections along the
route.
.
Mass News asked some of the street-corner protesters why they braved the
cold, wet weather.

Stan Usevich from Salem answered, “I’m as angry as hell.”

Chris Nulty from Gloucester said, “This is the least I can do.”

Frank from Salem added, “I want to know if Senator Kerry and Mayor Menino
are paying for this and who is paying for all the cops here.”

A Salem mother with her two teenage daughters said that because of Clinton,
her girls grew up “without any concept of what a real president is.” Her
daughter Vanessa said,  “Go home, Clinton.”

Steve from Lynn said he was protesting because evil flourishes when good men
do nothing. “ As a former U.S. Marine, I just can’t handle the way he
treated the military. That’s just disgraceful.”

Peter Marrie from Salem told Mass News, “We fully respect the right of the
former president to speak at Salem State as long as none of our taxpayer
dollars are used, and I understand that’s being tightly controlled. But the
man disgraced the office of the president. He’s fundamentally lacking in
loyalty, character, integrity, courage and leadership. He was president
during a very sedentary eight years, he could have done great things, he’s a
very bright man. But it was all about ‘me.’ It was always all about ‘me.’ It
’s still all about ‘me.’ The guy is a disgrace.”

Marrie positioned himself apart from the others, hoping Clinton would read
his sign, which said, and “If you get a standing ‘o’, know you are among
fools.”

He was not disappointed. Clinton’s motorcade wound through town and passed
the group on the corner. Clinton was not in a limo, but a smaller dark sedan
sitting in the right rear seat. Marrie stood poised on the side of the road
and Clinton looked out the window right at his sign.

Meanwhile, about a dozen pro-Clinton women, dressed up in witch costumes,
called for an end to the “Clinton with hunt."

[CTRL] Shag Harbour gets UFO stamp

2001-03-28 Thread Kelly

-Caveat Lector-

Wednesday March 28, 2001, p. A1

N.S. town's new postmark pays homage to UFO visit

Les Perreaux
National Post

Residents of Shag Harbour, N.S., will be mailing an image of a flying
saucer with every letter and package after Canada Post approved a new
postmark commemorating a visit 34 years ago by an unidentified flying
object.

The crash has become the subject of popular lore, including a book, and
has also made the town a tourist draw.

The locally designed ink stamp, used to mark and date outgoing mail,
depicts a flying saucer hovering over water with a lighthouse and boat
beneath it. The scene refers to an incident in 1967 in which an apparent
UFO plunged into the bay near the town and sent the RCMP, Coast Guard
and townspeople on a fruitless search-and-rescue mission.

"There are so many people coming in who are interested in having
their picture taken here or having their mail stamped, I though we
needed something with a UFO design," said postmaster Cindy
Nickerson, who came up with the idea for the stamp two years ago.
The design is also being used on T-shirts, hats and commemorative
wooden nickels.

At about 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 4, 1967, Laurie Wickens and three friends
were driving home when they saw an orange light heading toward
the water, and called police.

"At first the cops didn't want to believe us, but then we found out
another cop had seen it too," Mr. Wickens recalled yesterday.

He and several witnesses, including RCMP officers, watched the light
floating on the water until it sank. An all-night search found nothing
except a 600-metre strip of floating, yellow scum.

No official explanation has been offered for the lights, but theories at
the time had a Cold War influence and involved a Russian spacecraft
or submarine. Mr. Wickens believes it was a U.S. military plane.

Canada Post has created many postmarks for communities, including
a teddy bear hugging a heart for Love, Sask., and Anne of Green
Gables for Cavendish, P.E.I.

"It's a concept that goes over very well with collectors," said Tim
McGurrin, spokesman for Canada Post.

The ink stamp will be officially unveiled in May.

Nice people.   Not enough we have a race card played, but these people

according to a worn out plan?   Why is it I keep thinking you can't make

Now Clinton cries "witch hunt".well we know where the one old witch

another group but it won't be long before someone realizes the Clintons
polluted more than just the judicial system - Hey Bill, your old witch
is now in the safe water committee to be sure waters not polluted?

Poor persecuted sodomists - Clinton and Monica victims of a holocaust?

Now while children at WACO burned to death - were Clinton and little

and did you here the ADL complain ???
And Clinton like Nero fiddled while Waco burned?

Monica: Sexgate Ordeal Was Like Holocaust

Less than 24 hours after Bill Clinton told a Massachusetts college
audience that his impeachment was like the Salem witch trials, a report
claims that Monica Lewinsky informed a group of New York public
relations executives that her Sexgate ordeal was similar to surviving
the Holocaust.

"She was asked how she endured what she did, and she compared her case
to the Jews who were persecuted and exterminated," a source who was
present told MSNBC.com's Jeanette Walls. "It was disgusting."

Another source confirmed Monica's death camp reference and told Walls
that at least one appalled staffer from the public relations firm of
Rogers  Cowan walked out.

Lewinsky herself isn't commenting on the allegation. But Weber
Shandwick's Paul Costello, who actually arranged Lewinsky's talk, told
Walls that her comments had been "misinterpreted."

Meanwhile, out on the left coast, politically minded songbird Barbra
Streisand was defending Clinton against allegations that he traded
pardons for cash. [Songbird who sings through nose with Brooklyn
accent?]

"And who did those pardons hurt, I ask you?" she wondered rhetorically
during a pre-Oscar party Sunday, according to Fox News.com's 411.

"No one!" Streisand exclaimed, answering her own question.

So according to Barbara Streisand the pardon's hurt no one?   Well
some believe Hitler hurt no one other than those who had it coming?

Dam construction
an act of war?
Turkey, Iraq, Britain battle over life's most precious resource
Editor's note: WorldNetDaily.com international correspondent Anthony C. LoBaido has
traveled through Kurdistan and reported on events in that turbulent region of the
world. In this update, LoBaido examines the scramble for control of the water
resources in the region.



By Anthony C. LoBaido
 2001 WorldNetDaily.com

KARS, Turkey -- The planet's most precious resource -- water -- has become the latest 
point of conflict in the Middle East, as the UK and Arab nations in the area battle 
over a proposed dam in Turkey, a facility that coul
d cause the perpetual flooding of countless Kurdish villages in the region.


It has long been thought that oil would bring about the next great war in the Middle 
East. In reality, however, the next conflagration will most likely be fought over 
something more basic to survival and prosperity in the
 region -- water resources.


Some nations, like Iraq and Turkey, are rich in water resources. Others in the region, 
like the Jordanians and Palestinians, lack water.  Israel also is rapidly running out 
of water.


Now, a new development is emerging in the area.  After interviewing scores of Iraqi 
and Kurdish dissidents in Scandinavian refugee camps, WorldNetDaily has identified one 
of the pillars undergirding Iraqi President Saddam
 Hussein's intentions in Kurdistan -- it involves the construction of a dam.


Kurdistan is a dangerous and rugged place. The Kurds are persecuted by Iran, Turkey 
and Iraq. They have no homeland. The area is believed to be home to the biblical 
Noah's Ark, yet the Kurds can find no safe refuge, as di
d Noah and his family. The U.S./UK bombings of Iraq and the northern "No Fly Zone," as 
well as United Nations sanctions and other actions to help the Kurds, have proven 
futile. Saddam's mega corporation "Asia" has made hi
m a billionaire as he sends consumer goods, oil and water through Turkey via Kurdistan 
to beat the ineffective U.N. sanctions on Baghdad.  There is also uranium in the 
region. The Iraqis seek control of both uranium and w
ater resources.


Turkey wants to build dams on the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. Those rivers are the 
keys to the water supply of the entire Middle East. One of those dams will be called 
Ilisu Dam, near the border to Syria and Iraq.


According to Anna Van Meter, a Scandinavia Red Cross worker currently working in 
Kurdistan, "When the dam is completed, it will flood over many Kurdish cities, 
including one of Kurdistan's oldest cities. But that is just
one of many water dams which Turkey has planned over the next 20 years."


Van Meter continued: "Turkey will make electricity, and lots of it, at plants it hopes 
to construct on the river. The financiers of the project are from Great Britain.  And 
Norwegian engineers will bring the project to li
fe. Syria, Iraq, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates have now made an official 
complaint to Great Britain and warned Turkey that the construction of this dam is an 
act of war.  Some of the Christian Kurds told me this is
the fulfillment of a prophecy of the book of Revelation, that the Euphrates River will 
be tied up so the 200-million-man armies of China and south Asia will enter into the 
Middle East."


The Socialist Labor government of Tony Blair has been criticized by some members of 
Parliament over the UK's backing of the Ilisu dam project.


According to The Guardian -- a British newspaper that shocked Parliament by exposing 
the existence of the project and that the UK would fund it -- members of the Trade and 
Industry Select Committee said plans to spend 20
0 million of taxpayers' money on the dam would have to be dropped unless the Turkish 
government agreed to certain guarantees.


The main stumbling block is trade secretary Stephen Byers' insistence that Turkey 
consult Syria and Iraq on its proposal to restrict the flow of the Tigris into their 
territory. Turkey will not do so, according to Olcay U
nver, president of the Turkish administration in charge of the project.


The British Parliament seems to have conceded that British commercial interests in 
Turkey and political relations between the two countries would be damaged if Britain 
did not pledge the 200 million.


"At the same time, it would be quite wrong to go ahead regardless of the potential ill 
effects of the dam in the hope that matters would sort themselves out," said one 
committee member.


The committee demanded that Byers obtain assurances from the Turkish authorities that 
they had consulted downstream neighbors before agreeing to the project.


"Objections from neighboring states, however charged in the political context, deserve 
to be taken

FUTURE TECHNOLOGY INTELLIGENCE REPORT


A Monthly News Letter Devoted to Technical Prediction

Antony Sutton, DSc - March, 200 1: Vol 12, No. 3



PATENT OFFICE OKs BLACKLIGHT PATENTS

After years of fighting politics, a science establishment more interested in
cash than science,
and the Patent Office, Dr. Randall Mills has succeeded. His Blacklight
patent, one of the
longest ever submitted, has been APPROVED.

Mills moves from here to Initial Public Offering, coming up this year through
one of the major
Wall Street houses.

Part of the delay was engineered (not by Mills!) to give time for utilities
to scramble out from
under their debt load and dump debt onto the States and the public. The
politicians, the
utilities and the Sacramento Bee in California, all worked together to hide
the truth.
(Almost) free energy is here. The utilities need to get out from under their
massive fixed plant.
So we are seeing an all-time scam to shift soon-to-be-worthless assets onto
the public. Not one
of California's public servants has told the truth.

The horrendous delay for Mills was political, and nothing to do with patent
procedures or the
inherent value of Mills' discovery.

It highlights a terrible weakness in the United States. You can buy through
politics just about
anything you want, and individual talent is decided on the basis of politics.
The independent
best are rejected and the mediocre go-alongs welcomed and promoted, provided
they have ONE essential quality. Understand, as former Senator Mansfield
said, "to get along,
you have to go along."

We've known Mills since 1991, and it was obvious even at that time that the
discovery of less
than ground state hydrogen was fundamental. But establishment physics could
not squeeze it
into its ordained schema. In fact, they had already gone so far as to remove
one line from the
Mendelieff periodic table, and suppress the full Maxwell quaternions to
accommodate their
collective fantasy.

No discoverer has been more thorough, more persistent and more scientific
than Mills. Last
time we counted, he had 39 individual independent confirmations of
Blacklight. A great deal
of credit goes to Mills, his co-workers, and citizen backers who persisted in
the midst of a
screaming horde of irrational vested interest opposition.

Everywhere you turned, this mediocre talent pool clung together and cried in
one voice,
"Impossible!", and American Physical Society was the worst culprit. Their
rationale was
obvious -- MONEY. The multi-multi billion hot fusion program, which even
today has not
reached over unity, is a gigantic failure. Especially Parks, of Princeton,
who ran around the
world screaming, "impossible!" without looking at the data. And Congress, of
course, votes
where re-election money originates.

Multiply Mills by the thousands and tens of thousands, and you have the sad
state of Scientific
America today. The mediocre are running the science show, and follow the
grubby wishes of
less than mediocre politicians and the military-industrial complex.

We had our personal experience of this muddy cooperative of the mediocre and
the less than
mediocre in the 1970s. In 1973, we were forced out of Stanford by vested
corporate interests
for revealing that the Cold War was a hoax. The West founded and built
Communism. But it
was a big no-no to make this public. A direct hit on the military-industrial
complex
money-making machine, and the book was ordered squashed by Dr. Glenn
Campbell, then
Director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford, who accused this Editor of
the ultimate sin in
our politicized society -- being a moralist.

We continued to work in technology, and discovered by the mid-1980s the
nowemerging
paradigm. Again we warned the establishment, this time via the Chairman of
tile Intelligence
Oversight Board, whose Chairman happened to be Glenn Campbell -- the same
academic who
forced us out of Stanford. Again, Washington looked the other way.

What Campbell -- now retired from Stanford -- and the military-industrial
establishment do
NOT know (but may suspect) is that we placed a lengthy memorandum detailing
their actions
and threats in Washington and elsewhere. We have been able to keep the book
they wanted
banned in print all these 33 years, thanks to individual moral Americans.
See, "The Best
Enemy Money Can Buy" (Liberty House Press or Amazon/Barnes  Nobel).
Of course, we understand their urgency to conceal these deadly and murderous
policies, but
some of us have no need to "go along," because we have no need to "get along."

You were conned, and most of you don't yet know it.

Anyway, Mills has his patent, and the new era begins. It may take 50 years,
but the writing is
on the wall for these grubby go-alongs. Unless, of course, Colonel Bearden is
right, and the
world ends in 2007 -- then it ends for all

[CTRL] How it's done: Yugoslavia: Two Years On

2001-03-28 Thread Nurev Ind.

-Caveat Lector-

The Morning Star (UK)

YUGOSLAVIA
From [EMAIL PROTECTED], 28/03/01 03:53:08


BY BRIAN DENNY

TWO years ago March 24 the bombing of Yugoslavia by
NATO powers began, a campaign that would leave over
1,000 civilians dead and hundreds of schools,
hospitals, factories, TV stations, trains, buses and
even refugees columns destroyed.

To justify this genocide the western media unleashed a
demonisation campaign against the Serbs unparalleled
in modern history.

It is difficult today to describe the relentless
stream of lies and distortions dreamt up by the
pundits, except to say that media claims that
"Serbs" were responsible for the murder of TV
presenter Jill Dando were taken very seriously.

One of the media tricks was to claim that the war was
against one man, the "dictator" Slobodan Milosevic -
the three times elected president in the minority
multi-ethnic coalition government - and not the
Yugoslav people.

A smokescreen to cover the actions of NATO in the
Balkans, crimes far greater than any perpetrated by
Belgrade.

Western politicans joined in the hysteria with equal
levels of bile and misinformation, denouncing the
expansionist "Hitlerite" government in Belgrade,
thereby sealing the fate of thousands during the
west's multi-billion dollar reign of terror.

The west declared that "something must be done" to
crush Yugoslavia, a country that was not threatening
any other country in the region but fighting an
internal civil war against western-backed ethnic
Albanian rebels.

So, without any mandate from the United Nations, the
"humanitarian" destruction of Yugoslavia began while
sections of the left grimly repeated claim upon claim
by the United States intelligence services that over
100,000 Albanians had been killed, without a shread of
evidence to prove it.

The NATO attacks were illegal in every sense, in fact
it was a showcase to tell the world that international
law no longer applied to the western military
alliance.

In the eyes of NATO, the UN charter protecting the
right of nations to self-determination and sovereignty
were to be subsumed to the political and economic
needs of the west.

As US senator Richard Lugar famously put it, once the
Cold War had been won, NATO must be "either out of
area or out of business."

That was the reason Yugoslavia, which had not violated
international law, was criminalised by an uneasy
military alliance between the European Union and
United States which chose to ignore international law.


The decision to dismantle the multi-national,
multi-ethnic Balkan state had been decided by the west
10 years before and the intervening years saw the
relentless carve-up of the Balkans between Washington
and the German-led EU.

To destroy what was left of Yugoslavia, which by the
mid 90's was made up of just Serbia and Montenegro,
internal conflict had to be formented and encouraged
by the west.

So the Kosovo Liberation Army was born and by 1997 the
KLA had launched dozens of attacks and assasinations
against Serbs and Albanians in the Serb province loyal
to Yugoslavia.

In less than a year, the KLA had gone from obscurity
to a force in possession of ground to air missiles and
anti-tank weapons such as the Amburst, which can be
only obtained through official German channels.

During NATO attacks on Kosovo the KLA guided US bombs
to their targets with sophisicated NATO equipment on
the ground.

The KLA umbrella, which included a number of warlords,
demanded "independence" for an ethnically cleansed
Kosovo before its final annexation to neighbouring
Albania.

To this end, the KLA played the western pawn at the
farcical Rambouillet negotiatons in Febuary 1999,
where the west drew up a document so outrageous that
no government could have signed.

These accords were really a collective agreement
between the big western powers, Germany and the US, in
a fight for strategic military positions in
the Balkans.

Belgrade's refusal to sign the document, which
included the NATO occupation of the whole of
Yugoslavia, delighted the west and NATO stepped in as
the "KLA's air force."

Three months later Yugoslavia was driven out of Kosovo
by western forces along with over 350,000 Serbs,
gypsies, Jews and others, ethnically cleansed by the
KLA while NATO turned a blind eye.

It was here that western claims as the "defender of
human rights" was at its most sickeningly
hypocritical.

The western strategy for feigning concern for "human
rights" was drawn up by US advisor Zbigniew
Brzezinski, who dreamt up US support in Afghanistan
for groups like the extreme Muslim fundamentalist
Taliban in the 1970's.

In his book The Grand Chessboard Mr Brzezinski lays
out the need to use the emotive issue of human rights
to justify anything the west does in order to defend
and extend US strategic political and economic
interests.

"It was the best way to destabilise the Soviet Union
and it worked," he says.

The same alleged concern for the plight of certain
groups in the Balkans was the

[EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Was Collusion on the Capital Side 
Possible?
Ken:

The question has 
surfaced several times in the last few weeks as to whether or not it was 
possible that Goldman Sachs was colluding with the Clinton Administration on the 
loan sales without the knowledge of the HUD loan sales team. The fact that Dan 
Hawke, Ervin's attorney from 1995-1999, was the son of Jerry Hawke (#3 at 
Treasury, thenComptroller, formerhead partner of Arnold  Porter 
where he was partner with Jack Quinn, former Gore chief of staff and White House 
Counsel) as well as recent developments on Goldman's role in Russian flight 
capital from 1995-97 and on the BONY shareholder suit has givenenergy to 
looking at this question. 

What was 
feasiblegiven the facts that we know?

Fact One: Goldman and its bidding partners 
(BlackRock and others) won at the loan sales because they paid the highest 
price, with the exception that our optimization error may have disadvantaged 
them on one sale and advantaged them on anothernet net they were the loser 
in principal amount for the averaging in the programming of the floor 
definition.

Fact Two: The HUD 
Loan Sales team with Hamilton's help ran the auctions clean. The design of the 
process had so many checks and balances that bid rigging or insider trading was 
not possible. The winning prices and profits confirm this.

Fact Three: My 
efforts to persuade HUD to bid the single family one mortgage at a time were 
stopped by Chris Peterson's pleas that they could not handle the closings if 
small bidders did pay more. I was moved by the desire to increase prices and 
Barrons interest in giving us major coverage if we did it. Helen remembers that 
our folks (Huebscher, Ladd) we supportive of the $1 MM pool limit. Was Chris 
sincere, or did he have other motives? We don't know.

Fact Four: Goldman 
Sachs, according to the Center for Public Integrity, was, as of 1996, Bill 
Clinton's #1 lifetime campaign donation supporter.

Fact Five: HUD and 
OMB took full advantage of loan sales results to assume the most favorable 
credit reform treatment and to increase new originations, even after loan sales 
were suspended.

Fact Six: Nic 
Retsinas reported that the White House had illegally ordered him to not allow us 
to win new contracts (ie, to fire us). A reliable source said that they had 
ordered the Assistant Secretary of Administration to do the same. The timing on 
this would have been end of 1995/early 1996.

In this fact 
pattern, what collusion was theoretically possible?

It was possible that 
Treasurywith or without the White House and DOJ could have colluded to 
ensure that Goldman (and bidpartners or other bidders such as GEand/or 
Lehman) could bid above market as a result 
of:

1. low cost capital 
to bid with--this could have been accessible before or after the bid. The 
capital could have been accessible to Goldman in different areas, not 
necessarily used on this transaction, but arranged as --in essence--a 
"swap"
2. guaranteed take 
outs of portions of the portfolios won
3. expedited support 
from HUD and DOJ or other federal agencies on a variety of refinancing or other 
issues

In return, the 
Administration could have gotten:

1. Above market bids 
that would translate into liberal assumptions for credit reform (see description 
below) in a way that made much more HUD credit and budget profits available to 
the Administration than otherwise
2. Special treatment 
of parts of the portfolio in which the government and its covert networks had an 
interest (fraud. money laundering, SEC violations, tax 
relief)
3. Special treatment 
of parts of the portfolio in which friends of the DNC and Clinton campaign had 
an interest (fraud. money laundering, SEC violations, tax 
relief)
4. Special treatment 
of parts of the portfolio in which members of the Administration had an interest 
(fraud. money laundering, SEC violations, tax relief)
5. Campaign 
donations to the Clinton campaign, to the DNC, or to related 
campaigns...Teamsters, Russia

Under such a 
scenario, the repeated leaks that kept assuring that there was collusion on the 
loan sales could be explained as either coming from the Hunger, Hawke, Cuomo, 
Glasser networks, but including the highest levels of Treasury and OMB or indeed 
were from folks aware of collusion on the capital side (financing and take outs) 
as opposed to the auction side (bid and disclosure).

Our consensus 
belief(Fitts, 
Betts, Blake, Dunlap)appears to be thata driving force 
in what has happened was the Democrat's desperation to raise

New tools hatch for 
sniffing out Web bugs 
By Stefanie OlsenStaff 
Writer, CNET News.com March 5, 2001, 4:00 a.m. PT 
A 
handful of companies are arming Web surfers with tools for finding and repelling 
so-called Web bugs--invisible pieces of code that can be used for everything 
from secretly tracking people's Web travels to pilfering computer files. 
Many site operators and Net advertising companies place Web bugs on their 
pages to collect information, such as which pages are being read most often. Too 
small for readers to see, the bugs also can be used in more invasive ways, 
capturing a visitor's Internet Protocol address or installing pernicious files, 
for example. 
The bugs can also be matched with "cookies," the electronic files that are 
stored on a PC and can contain personal information such as name and e-mail 
address.
Concerned that visitors are often unaware that the bugs are 
being used to track their surfing habits, security companies are beginning to 
arm Web surfers with tools to find the pesky bugs. 
"People don't understand the potential risks associated with Web bugs. With a 
Web bug, your computer can be fully exposed to malicious sites that can take any 
files or information from programs on your hard drive," said Tommy Wang of 
security start-up Intelytics. "People need to get educated on this stuff." 
Internet tracking and security company Security Space issued a report last 
Thursday that identified Web advertising networks DoubleClick and 
Linkexchange.com, as well as Excite.com, as some of the top sites that use Web 
bugs to track consumers on third-party pages. 
Meanwhile, Intelytics plans to unveil a free service in two weeks that 
surfers can use to spy on the spies. Its software, called Personal Sentinel, 
will alert consumers to the "risk level" of any given Web site by listing the 
number of Web bugs working behind the scenes. 
Illustrating the growing presence of such technology, Intelytics issued a 
report over the holidays on major e-commerce sites that uncovered nearly 16 
million pages (out of 51 million that were scanned) with at least one Web bug 
that had been attached from a third party, such as an advertising network. 
Privacy on the Hill
Such surveillance tactics are beginning to take higher priority with 
lawmakers as well. Last Thursday, the Congressional Privacy Caucus, a bipartisan 
group of senators and congressmen charged with studying individuals' privacy, met to discuss the 
threat posed by online tracking technology. 
In one such test, the Privacy Council and Intelytics showed how Web bugs, 
when used nefariously, can steal a computer user's entire e-mail address book 
merely by clicking on a bugged Web page. 
"Through an insecurity in Windows, they showed how easy it is for people to 
get stuff off (a consumer's) hard drive," said Richard Smith, chief privacy 
officer at the Denver-based nonprofit group the Privacy Foundation, who 
testified at the Thursday hearing.
The Privacy Foundation also is testing a beta 
version of a browser plug-in, dubbed a Web bug detector, that allows people to 
identify the tags. 
In his testimony, Smith illustrated how simple it is to peer into other 
people's e-mail by attaching a Web bug to the message. According to Smith, a 
person can send an e-mail with a bug that secretly sends copies back to the 
sender when the e-mail is replied to or forwarded. 
"If an e-mail can be wire-tapped 
in the halls of Congress, where else is e-mail safe? The answer is nowhere," 
Smith said. 
Intelytics, in partnership with the Privacy Council, unveiled a similar Web 
bug-searching service in late January for companies to run reports on their own 
sites, assessing privacy risks to consumers. Intelytics plans to launch other 
corporate Web bug tools for e-mail and intranets. 
The Message Sentinel, for example, is set up to check for privacy threats 
sent through e-mail, including so-called wiretaps. The product, which is already 
garnering interest from government agencies and financial services firms, is set 
to launch in early April. The price has not been set. 
Personal Sentinel will be available March 15 and will be supported by 
companies that plan to sell services to "wash" the Web bugs off the page so the 
consumer can avoid prying eyes, according to Intelytics' Wang. 
Varying strengths of venom
Through its research, the company has identified about five different types 
of Web bugs, Wang said. The simplest, most discussed bug is a small, clear GIF 
that works with

Power Crunch Spreading Rapidly/bush: NY, New England Next For Outages

New York Is Next For
Blackouts, Warns Bush

By Simon Davis in Los Angeles
and Ben Fenton in Washington

http://www.telegraph.co.uk
3-21-1

New York could be the next American city to experience electricity cuts,
the White House said yesterday, as the power crisis spreads outwards
from California.

Boston and other cities in New England may be affected, but local power
managers said they believed they could keep the lights burning through
the summer unless particularly hot weather forced customers to turn up
their air conditioners.

As blackouts in California were announced last night for the second day
in succession, President Bush gave warning of critical shortages of gas,
petrol and electricity this summer. On Monday, cars crashed when traffic
lights failed, office workers were trapped in stalled lifts and
thousands of homes were plunged into darkness as California suffered a
string of blackouts.

Unlike the power cuts eight weeks ago that affected a relatively small
section of northern California, this week's blackouts hit communities in
the more populous areas, from Silicon Valley to Beverly Hills and Santa
Monica. San Diego and the state capital, Sacramento, were also affected.

The California energy crisis led Mr Bush and Spencer Abraham, his Energy
Secretary, to say they believed blackouts would spread. Mr Bush said:
"One thing is for certain: there are no short-term fixes. The solution
for our energy shortage requires long-term thinking and a plan that
we'll implement that will take time to bring to fruition."

Mr Abraham told leaders of small businesses that America was facing its
worst energy crisis since the Seventies and predicted that, unless
radical restructuring was brought in rapidly, the whole economy could
falter as it did then.

Estimate of Possible Overcharges for Electricity Rises to $6.3 Billion 
 Energy: Grid operator says it has not assessed how much should be refunded. 
Producers deny that they have profiteered. 
By NANCY RIVERA BROOKS, TIM REITERMAN, Times Staff Writers


 California's power grid operator boosted its estimate of potential 
overcharges by major electricity suppliers from $5.5 billion to nearly $6.3 
billion Thursday. But lawyers and industry observers said prospects for a 
massive refund are highly uncertain. 
 The California Independent System Operator said it has not yet 
determined how much of a refund it would seek for utilities and taxpayers. 
 Cal-ISO analyzed confidential bidding data on tens of thousands of 
electricity sales to document what it alleges was market manipulation by 
generators to drive up prices. 
 But to more precisely measure the amount of alleged overcharges, 
officials said, they need the kind of confidential power plant cost data that 
generators provide to federal regulators. 
 Electricity producers denied that they have profiteered in the 
California electricity market and argued that Cal-ISO's figures do not take 
into account all their costs. 
 Cal-ISO presented the cost data Thursday to the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission as part of its formal response to a commission staff 
proposal to curb electricity market manipulation in California. Cal-ISO is 
using the $6.27-billion total to argue that the commission, which is charged 
with ensuring just and reasonable electricity rates, needs to be more 
aggressive in helping the state cure its power ills. 
 "While FERC is headed in the right direction, we don't believe it has 
gone far enough," Cal-ISO General Counsel Charles Robinson told a news 
conference. 
 The agency said wholesale electricity costs in California could total 
$70 billion this year based on prices paid during January and February. Such 
costs totaled $27 billion in 2000 and $7.43 billion in 1999. 
 The Times reported Thursday that a study by Cal-ISO found evidence of 
market manipulation and consistent patterns of bidding far above costs in the 
state's deregulated market. The agency found that suppliers commonly offered 
electricity at twice their costs. 
 The study covered five major in-state power suppliers--Reliant Energy, 
Dynegy, Williams/AES, Duke Energy and Mirant, formerly Southern Energy--plus 
16 power importers. 
 Grid officials avoided calling the electricity tab an "overcharge," 
preferring instead to term the prices from May through last month "beyond 
what we would think would be reasonable in a competitive market." 
 When asked if Californians had been cheated by electricity generators to 
the tune of $6.27

it is a misconception that the war on drugs is a war on drugs. it is a war
to control the drug trade. it is all a ruse. keep the little guy down... now
bush is where he wants to be he will be able to use federal resources more
effectively.

weed gets stomped on inappropriately because if hash users were allowed to
use it and grow it legally then the coke/ smack demand would drop and those
in power would see their profits diminish rapidly.
it is no coincidence that the rise in coke use in the 80s and 90s coincided
with the mass introduction of drug testing in the workplace. hash stays in
the body for weeks- coke and smack only a few days... and they don't smell

NEWSFLASH:
Three killed in suicide bomber blast near Israeli Army checkpoint.



   "In the Palestinian view of the Arab
summit [for Palestinian read Arafat],
money is all that matters."

 ARAB "LEADERS" PROVE NEED FOR REPLACEMENTS

MID-EAST REALITIES  - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 3/28:
Lot of rhetoric, more than expected in fact.  But mostly a smookescreen for 
never-ending
impotence and inexcuseable weakness.  So much for the Arab Summit in Amman.
Until those Arab "leaders" who have squandered the wealth and heritage of their
countries, and indeed of their once powerful civilization, are replaced; until
the "client regimes" of the Arab world are no more; this tragic spectacle known
as Arab "summits" will continue to be a deep embarrassment and a historic tragedy.
 The following articles help explain the happening in Amman.


   ISRAELIS ARE ALL NAZIS, ASSAD TELLS SUMMIT
FROM SAM KILEY, IN AMMAN

[The Times, UK, 27 March]
PRESIDENT ASSAD of Syria called Israelis "Nazis" yesterday
 and offered to "forgive and forget" the decision of Yassir Arafat,
 the Palestinian leader, to negotiate with the late Yitzhak Rabin.

 Speaking at the start of the first Arab League summit in a decade,
 Mr Assad overshadowed Mr Arafat's efforts to win support for
 the Palestinian uprising. His speech, which often assumed the tone
 of a lecture to the league's 22 heads of state and their
 representatives, was delivered as a suspected suicide bomber
 blew up a bus in Jerusalem, killing himself and wounding a dozen
 others.

 Mr Assad said that the Arab world had been "too emotional" and
 had failed to analyse properly the election of Ariel Sharon to head
 a national unity government in Israel. He said that successive
 Israeli elections had proved that Israelis in general "gave us nothing
 and took everything.

 "It is the Israeli public and not just the leaders who are like the
 Nazis themselves," he said in an improvised speech that could
 have been delivered by his father, Hafez, 20 years ago. The
 speech shocked foreign diplomats, many of them sympathetic to
 the Palestinian cause, who had gathered in Amman, the Jordanian
 capital, for the summit.

 "This does not do those who want to help the Palestinians any
 good," a senior Western diplomat said. "It's the sort of speech
 which proves to the Israelis that the Arab world does not accept
 their existence and that the Arabs really want to destroy Israel."

 Mr Assad's rhetoric took many people by surprise given his
 efforts to portray his country as becoming more democratic and
 moving away from its days as a Soviet satellite.

 After medical training in London, Mr Assad has been working to
 open Syria to foreign investment and get the country wired into the
 Internet. Despite the need to impress fellow Arab leaders, Mr
 Assad's tough message appeared to exceed what was necessary
 to signal to the Sharon government that he is a man to be
 reckoned with.

 Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, had hoped
 to persuade Arab leaders to see the problems faced by both sides
 in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

 He criticised Mr Sharon's policy of besieging Palestinian towns
 and of "excessive use of force" in quelling riots. He said, however,
 that it should be recognised that Israel feels threatened and that it
 had a "legitimate right to live in safety within its own borders".

 After Mr Assad's speech, Mr Arafat repeated his allegations that
 the Israelis have used "illegal weapons" against the Palestinians,
 but he also said that he wanted to return to the agreements
 reached with the Israelis in October last year, at Sharm el-Sheikh
 in Egypt, which included a ceasefire.

 The Arab leaders, who are also discussing Iraq, seem unlikely to
 reach an agreement about how to persuade President Saddam
 Hussein to give up his claim to Kuwait or how to seek the easing
 of sanctions against his country.


   SADDAM CALLS FOR ARAB ARMIES TO STRIKE AT ISRAEL, IGNORES KUWAIT

AMMAN, March 27 (AFP) -  Iraqi President Saddam Husssein called Tuesday on Arab
states to mobilise their armed forces to liberate the Palestinian territories,
rejecting any deals with Israel.

In a speech read to the Arab summit in Amman by Iraq's number two Ezzat Ibrahim,
Saddam told Arab leaders to build "an army of men as concerned to sacrifice themselves
as the Zionists are concerned for their lives."

[CTRL] Rue: Some U.S. Forces May Have Been Exposed to Nerve Gas

Some U.S. Forces May Have Been Exposed to Nerve Gas

By Andrea Shalal-Esa

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A small advance group of U.S. special
forces may have been exposed to nerve gas when a U.S.-led
coalition bombed an Iraqi weapons site during the Gulf War (news
- web sites), the Defense Department said in a report on Tuesday.

It was still uncertain whether the soldiers were exposed to the
nerve agents, the Pentagon (news - web sites) said, but it was
now notifying those troops of the possibility.

The Pentagon released its report after an investigation on
whether the strike on the weapons site at Muhammadiyat, Iraq,
exposed large numbers of U.S. troops to nerve gas and other
chemical warfare agents.

Bombs filled with mustard agents and the nerve agents sarin and
cyclosarin were found at the bombing site after the 1991 war.

But the Pentagon report said that ``with the possible exception
of a few forward-deployed special operations forces in Iraq --
U.S. forces were definitely not exposed to chemical warfare
agents as a result of the bombing.''

``For the few special operations personnel in Iraq, exposure is
characterized as indeterminate from the facts available,'' it
added. A Pentagon spokesman could not say how many troops might
have been affected.

The Pentagon also did not address how many Iraqi citizens might
have been exposed to chemical warfare agents as a result of the
bombing. The weapons site was about 95 miles (153 km) west of
Baghdad.

Military planners targeted Muhammadiyat because it was an
ammunition storage site and suspected Scud missile depot, the
Pentagon said. It was unclear whether they knew chemical weapons
were also stored there.

Bombs With Mustard, Nerve Gas Found At Site

After the war ended, U.N. weapons inspectors found damaged and
destroyed mustard-filled bombs as well as damaged bombs
containing sarin or cyclosarin at the site.

Using U.N. reports, declarations by Iraq and other sources,
Pentagon investigators determined it was likely that the bombing
released 180 kg (397 pounds) of a mixture of sarin and
cyclosarin, the Pentagon said in its report.

Additionally, computer modeling showed that an estimated 2,969 kg
(6,545 pounds) of mustard blister agent was released.

The Pentagon said its investigators had concluded that any of 17
airstrikes could have released the nerve and mustard gas agent
between Jan. 19 and Feb. 24, 1991.

At those times, the closest U.S. forces in Saudi Arabia were 35
miles (57 km) from the nerve agent hazard area. The closest U.S.
forces in Saudi Arabia were 125 miles (201 km) from the possible
mustard hazard area.

``Therefore, we believe that U.S. forces in Saudi Arabia
definitely were not exposed to chemical warfare agents released
from the bombing of Muhammadiyat,'' the Pentagon said.

``Nevertheless, it is possible a few U.S. Special Operations
Forces personnel were exposed to a low level of nerve agent
because of operations in Iraq on Feb. 17, 19, or 24, 1991,'' it
added. It was uncertain if those soldiers had been exposed
because Pentagon investigators did not know their precise
location at the time of the bombing raids.

The Pentagon said no U.S. special operations forces personnel
were present on the possible days of mustard agent release.

No Risk To Troops From Al Muthanna Bombing

In a separate report, the Pentagon said U.S. troops ''definitely
were not exposed'' to chemical warfare agents during a Feb. 8
bombing of another weapons site, at Al Muthanna, Iraq.

Intelligence sources later estimated that most of a possible 9
tons of sarin at the site was destroyed by the fire that ensued.
An estimated 10 kg (23 pounds) escaped into the atmosphere.

The Pentagon said computer modeling of the hazard area created by
the escaped sarin indicated a maximum downwind hazard extending
no farther than 32 miles (50 km) southeast of Al Muthanna.

U.S. forces in Saudi Arabia were no closer than 256 miles (412
km) from Al Muthanna and no U.S. special forces were in the area.

New York Is Next For
Blackouts, Warns Bush

By Simon Davis in Los Angeles
and Ben Fenton in Washington

http://www.telegraph.co.uk
3-21-1

New York could be the next American city to experience electricity cuts,
the White House said yesterday, as the power crisis spreads outwards
from California.

Boston and other cities in New England may be affected, but local power
managers said they believed they could keep the lights burning through
the summer unless particularly hot weather forced customers to turn up
their air conditioners.

As blackouts in California were announced last night for the second day
in succession, President Bush gave warning of critical shortages of gas,
petrol and electricity this summer. On Monday, cars crashed when traffic
lights failed, office workers were trapped in stalled lifts and
thousands of homes were plunged into darkness as California suffered a
string of blackouts.

Unlike the power cuts eight weeks ago that affected a relatively small
section of northern California, this week's blackouts hit communities in
the more populous areas, from Silicon Valley to Beverly Hills and Santa
Monica. San Diego and the state capital, Sacramento, were also affected.

The California energy crisis led Mr Bush and Spencer Abraham, his Energy
Secretary, to say they believed blackouts would spread. Mr Bush said:
"One thing is for certain: there are no short-term fixes. The solution
for our energy shortage requires long-term thinking and a plan that
we'll implement that will take time to bring to fruition."

Mr Abraham told leaders of small businesses that America was facing its
worst energy crisis since the Seventies and predicted that, unless
radical restructuring was brought in rapidly, the whole economy could
falter as it did then.

Estimate of Possible Overcharges for Electricity Rises to $6.3 Billion 
 Energy: Grid operator says it has not assessed how much should be refunded. 
Producers deny that they have profiteered. 
By NANCY RIVERA BROOKS, TIM REITERMAN, Times Staff Writers


California's power grid operator boosted its estimate of potential 
overcharges by major electricity suppliers from $5.5 billion to nearly $6.3 
billion Thursday. But lawyers and industry observers said prospects for a 
massive refund are highly uncertain. 
The California Independent System Operator said it has not yet 
determined how much of a refund it would seek for utilities and taxpayers. 
Cal-ISO analyzed confidential bidding data on tens of thousands of 
electricity sales to document what it alleges was market manipulation by 
generators to drive up prices. 
But to more precisely measure the amount of alleged overcharges, 
officials said, they need the kind of confidential power plant cost data that 
generators provide to federal regulators. 
Electricity producers denied that they have profiteered in the 
California electricity market and argued that Cal-ISO's figures do not take 
into account all their costs. 
Cal-ISO presented the cost data Thursday to the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission as part of its formal response to a commission staff 
proposal to curb electricity market manipulation in California. Cal-ISO is 
using the $6.27-billion total to argue that the commission, which is charged 
with ensuring just and reasonable electricity rates, needs to be more 
aggressive in helping the state cure its power ills. 
"While FERC is headed in the right direction, we don't believe it has 
gone far enough," Cal-ISO General Counsel Charles Robinson told a news 
conference. 
The agency said wholesale electricity costs in California could total 
$70 billion this year based on prices paid during January and February. Such 
costs totaled $27 billion in 2000 and $7.43 billion in 1999. 
The Times reported Thursday that a study by Cal-ISO found evidence of 
market manipulation and consistent patterns of bidding far above costs in the 
state's deregulated market. The agency found that suppliers commonly offered 
electricity at twice their costs. 
The study covered five major in-state power suppliers--Reliant Energy, 
Dynegy, Williams/AES, Duke Energy and Mirant, formerly Southern Energy--plus 
16 power importers. 
Grid officials avoided calling the electricity tab an "overcharge," 
preferring instead to term the prices from May through last month "beyond 
what we would think would be reasonable in a competitive market." 
When asked if Californians had been cheated by electricity generators to 
the tune of $6.27 billion, Robinson replied: "I think it's way too early to 
draw that conclusion." 
Cal-ISO also is exploring legal theories that would let FERC order 
refunds for questionable electricity trades that occurred before Oct. 2, the 
cutoff the commission established for

Whitewashing CIA mind control atrocities


By Uri Dowbenko 
 

Book Review:
Secret Weapons: Two Sisters' Terrifying True Story of Sex, Spies and Sabotage
By Cheryl and Lynn Hersha with Dale Griffis, PhD and Ted Schwarz
New Horizon Press, February 2001
ISBN: 0-88282-196-2
426p. $25.95)

 

Ted Schwarz is an apologist for CIA mind control atrocities.

His book, Secret Weapons, is chockfull of specious reasoning, flawed logic 
and outright lies. Its intent is simple—to make CIA mind control programs 
appear to be "science," rather than illegal Soviet/Nazi-like torture and an 
outrageous abuse of human rights.
 
Schwarz writes like a hack hired by the CIA to deliver a story on mind 
control atrocities by government perps. As a CIA spin doctor, Schwarz has 
definitely earned his blood money.

The book Secret Weapons is well-crafted disinformation. It glosses over 
egregious human rights abuses, as well as the illegal activities of the CIA.

The cover blurb claims that Schwarz is the "best selling author of more than 
100 books and over 2,000 articles."

For the record, Schwarz has written a biography of dead Illuminati Grand Dame 
Doris Duke, world-class scammer-businessman John DeLorean, and Cuban CIA 
asset "Marita."

As a propagandist (the CIA actually has a job title called "strategic 
writer," or writer of disinformation for public consumption), Schwarz muddies 
the waters of CIA crimes and cover-ups by framing the life-long abuses of 
Lynn and Cheryl Hersha in the context of "training" to be "female James Bond 
secret agent[s]."

Schwarz's conceit, in effect, whitewashes the realities of trauma-based 
conditioning, mind control abuses, and the horrendous sexual and physical 
abuses endured by the sisters under the guise of "national security."

Rationalizing the continuation of CIA mind control programs into the present, 
Schwarz writes: "This is not to say that all other researchers had the 
appropriate war mentality so pleasing to the CIA elite. Many were simply 
looking out for the financial welfare of their families."(p.63)

In other words, don't judge them too harshly. Maybe Sidney Gottlieb, Jolly 
West, Allen Dulles, Ewen Cameron and the rest of the CIA criminal elite were 
just trying to put food on the table.

If he wrote a biography of Nazi mind control monster Josef Mengele, Schwarz 
would probably point out what a sensitive cultured man Mengele was since he 
played the violin so well.

Schwarz's own words will convict him.

"The scientists who designed the [mind control] project to which Cheryl had 
been assigned probably would have preferred to work in a less offensive 
manner," writes Schwarz. "Few wanted to hurt children if there was any 
alternative. That was why there had been feverish activity on the part of the 
Central Intelligence Agency's Technical Services Staff (TSS) to develop 
remote control killers. The idea was to use an implant in the brain that 
could be stimulated to create behavior. Unwitting adults, unconnected with 
any of the intelligence agencies could have devices implanted that would 
stimulate the desired behavior without the person ever knowing what he or she 
had done." (p. 56)

(As if creating "remote control killers" by implants was less of a crime than 
traumatizing a child and creating a structured multiple to do the CIA 
criminals' dirty work.)

Schwarz's book is full of zingers. Here's another one: "In the last few 
years, a number of individuals have come forward to reveal being locked in 
cages and used as laboratory rats. According to the thinking of those who 
conducted and approved the original experiments, the relative handful of 
people whose stories have a basis in fact were not deliberately mistreated 
any more than they thought Cheryl was being mistreated. She and the others 
were involved in pure science. All conditions had to be identical for both 
the primary research subjects–the primates in this case and the comparison 
control group of children."

 "Pure science"? Locking up children in cages is "pure science"?

Schwarz's twisted arguments are simply beyond belief. He writes that "in 
order to have human lab rats for the experiments who were children and thus 
minors, a form was developed called proxy consent. It was created at a time 
when Americans were sure that parents knew and should decide what was best 
for their children."
Schwarz's serpentine logic is impeccable.

"The young are often self-centered, their knowledge limited to little more 
than home, school, the neighborhood and any religious institution to which 
their families belong, he continues. "They cannot understand that there are 
times when it is necessary to think of the greater good of others [Huh?] They 
cannot understand the important role a child can play in preserving the 
future of democracy and the western world as we know it. [Like being a 
programmed assassin?]

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/futureweapons.html




UNITED STATES AIR FORCE
FUTURE WEAPONS PROPOSALS
AIR FORCE 2025 STUDY
 
1.1 Hypersonic Attack Aircraft A high-speed strike vehicle capable of
projecting lethal force anywhere in the world in less than four hours.
Operating at Mach 12 and a cruise altitude of 100,000 ft, this vehicle is a
reusable two-stage system comprised of an unmanned boost vehicle and a manned
hypersonic strike aircraft. The gas turbine-engined boost vehicle requires a
conventional runway and accelerates the strike vehicle to Mach 3.5 and 65,000
ft. The strike vehicle then separates and uses a ramjet/scramjet engine to
reach its cruise condition. The total system range is 10,000 nautical miles
(NM); the hypersonic strike vehicle has an unrefueled range of 5,000 NM. It
is capable of launching precision-guided munitions, including the hypersonic
air-to-ground missile described in system 5.4, at a standoff distance of
1,450 NM. Alternatively, the platform may be used to transport an uninhabited
unmanned air vehicle described in system 4.2.

1.2 FotoFighter A highly maneuverable, stealthy, inhabited advanced
fighter aircraft whose skin is fitted with an array of diode lasers and
sensors. Efficient electronic control of the laser arrays allows this fighter
to engage multiple targets simultaneously with varying degrees of lethality.
At low powers, the arrays can function as transmitters and receivers for low
probability of interception (LPI) communications. Threat detection, target
illumination, and tracking are also possible.

1.3 Container Aircraft An aircraft consisting of an airlifter in which
standard shipping containers form integral structures of the fuselage. The
aircraft consists of three baseline sections: the cockpit, the wingbox, and
the empennage. In its simplest form, the "short" version-the aircraft is
capable of flight by joining the cockpit, wingbox, and empennage directly
together. With standard shipping containers installed between the cockpit and
wingbox and between the wingbox and the empennage, the aircraft can be
configured to carry cargo ("stretch" version). The first wave of container
aircraft to arrive in a theater of operations "disassembled." The cockpit
then forms a command and control facility, the aircraft engines generate the
base power, the wings provide fuel storage, and the containers themselves
(when empty) provide shelter for troops, supplies, and equipment. This
concept provides a mobile base.

1.4 Lighter-than-Air Airlifter A very large capacity, rigid-frame
lighter-than-air vehicle that provides one million pound airlift capability
with a unrefueled range of 1,2500 NM. This vehicle also has the ability to
deploy and recover powered UAVs while stationary or in-transit. Vehicle is
able to house support materiel, personnel, and MEDVAC modules depending upon
mission requirements.

1.5 Supersonic Airlifter A Mach 2.4 supersonic airlifter that provides
50,000 pound airlift capability with a unrefueled range of 5,000 NM. This
vehicle provides the capability to deliver military personnel (roughly 150),
advanced precision weapons, and appropriate resupply anywhere in the world
within hours.

1.6 Stealth Airlifter (SA) An all-weather, low-observable aircraft
capable of low supersonic cruise and dedicated to special operations forces
(SOF). With an unrefueled range up to 4,000 NM, it can be used to insert and
extract SOF teams, as well as to extract high value assets (HVA) and weapons
of mass destruction. The SA connected to a global information management
system (say, GIMS System 8.1) for all source intelligence, weather,
navigation, and communications.

1.7 Global Transport Aircraft (GTA) A global reach transport airplane of
less than one million pounds take off gross weight, capable of carrying
150,000-250,000 pounds 12,000 to 10,000 NM respectively. This vehicle also
can deploy powered UAVs and parafoils. The GTA house support materiel,
personnel, and MEDVAC modules, depending upon mission requirements. This
aircraft also be modified for use as a tanker.

2.1 Strike UAV A low-observable, uninhabited air vehicle that loiters
subsonically over the region of interest for long periods of time (24+ hours)
until directed to strike. Its primary mission is to engage ground targets
with standoff precision munitions; however, it also has a limited air-to-air
capability. It relies on off-board sensors to supply reconnaissance and
targeting information as well as command and control, although it has
sufficient on-board sensor capability to allow it to perform preprogrammed
missions.

2.2 Reconnaissance UAV An uninhabited reconnaissance aerial vehicle
(URAV) that can be employed either as an independent system or in conjunction
with other airborne, ground-based, and spaceborne systems. The URAV is fitted
with a variety of multispectral sensors, such as infrared, optical, radar,
and laser, and collects images, signals intelligence

Chicken Giant Behind Hoof, Mouth?
Fowl Play
by James Ridgeway


"Could the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease affecting global beef markets 
be an act of industrial espionage rather than nature? Could Tyson Foods Inc., 
the world's leading meat supplier, be behind the deadly slaughter?" These 
concerns are voiced by Dr. Leonard Horowitz, who claims to have previously 
traced the origins of mad cow disease to a CIA "industrial espionage" op, 
allegedly part of a broader bioterrorist move to reinvigorate the agency by 
turning it into a corporate gun for hire. Horowitz points the finger at Tyson 
only in part because execs in the firm were close to the Clintons. He thinks 
another connection can be found in a supposed E. coli outbreak, which he 
claims made it easier for the big chicken processor to take over a beef 
company by driving down its stock price. Then there was the 1997 outbreak of 
chicken flu in China—yet another sign, in Horowitz's view, of Tyson's hidden 
hand. All of this undertaken, in Horowitz's view, to drive down competing 
agribusiness and extend the tentacles of Tyson's chicken monopoly around the 
world. As of Monday evening, Tyson had no comment. According to conspiracy 
buffs, that's just the beginning of the CIA's dirty work. Another theory has 
it that the U.S. set off a hoof-and-mouth epidemic in Iraq in 1993 during the 
Persian Gulf war by blowing up a lab that made vaccine to fight the disease. 
This, too, was a CIA bioterrorist move, killing or crippling millions of 
animals and contributing to the misery of Iraq's civilian population. At the 
time, the U.S. claimed the supposed lab was engaged in making germ and 
biological warfare agents. 



Napalm Pushed in Hoof, Mouth War 
Apocalypse Now 

British officials struggling to get a grip on the hoof-and-mouth epidemic by 
intensifying the slaughter of cows, pigs, and sheep may get a boost from 
American researchers who recommend using napalm to burn carcasses cheaply and 
quickly. Napalm burns up a carcass in 60 minutes, compared to current methods 
requiring three days. Cost is a few dollars per animal compared to the 
current cost of $2800. "We are talking pennies," Louisiana State University 
expert Martin Hugh-Jones told the magazine New Scientist. "Napalm does not 
vaporize easily and so does not produce dangerous fumes," he said. "Nor does 
it produce any dangerous by-products as a result of burning." But a 
spokeswoman at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food said the 
Brits have no plans to use napalm. "It is not an option that has been looked 
at so far," she said. "There are likely to be safety concerns that we would 
need to look at first, and we would need to have a lot of discussion about 
the risks." 




[CTRL] EN: Aztec, Mayan artifacts reported missing from TCU library

Aztec, Mayan artifacts reported missing from TCU library


More than 110 Peruvian, pre-Columbian pottery artifacts, valued
at about $267,700, were reportedly stolen from a basement storage
room in the Mary Couts Burnett Library at Texas Christian
University.

The pottery artifacts are from the Aztec and Mayan civilizations,
dating back 2,700 years. They were reported as missing to the TCU
Police Feb. 23. However, the TCU incident report cited that the
items were last seen Feb. 1, 2000.

Robert Seal, head university librarian, said the room where the
artifacts were stored was locked. He said he does not know how
someone got into the room, but noted that there was no forced
break-in. There was no scheduled inventory check-up on the stored
items, but rather, they are checked randomly, he said.

TCU Police Chief Steve McGee said there have been no solid
suspects linked to the case. According to the incident report,
the pottery pieces were individually wrapped in bubble plastic
and placed into cardboard boxes to be stored in the basement.

While the artifacts were taken from the storage room, the plastic
covers and boxes were left behind, said Kelly Ham, TCU detective
of criminal investigations. Each artifact was numbered with a
four-digit museum catalog number. The artifacts were donated to
TCU by the Moorehead Collection in three different donations in
1996 and 1997.

The approximate value of the items stolen are based on 1996
appraisal values. The current value of these artifacts may be
significantly higher from the appraised value.

McGee said not all the artifacts were taken from the storage
room, but several that remained were damaged.  McGee said the
artifacts have since been moved from the storage room. "It cannot
be determined if the artifact pieces were taken incrementally or
if they were taken all at once," McGee said.

Seal said the artifacts were reported missing after Thomas
Guderjan, anthropology professor, noticed they were tampered
with. Faculty and students can use the artifacts after obtaining
permission from the library, Seal said.

"The pottery artifacts have been in storage for a couple of years
now, after being on display for a year," Seal said. "Even if they
are in storage, they are still used on and off by students and
faculty members."

McGee said the investigation to find the missing artifacts has
been difficult because of the large time period between when they
were reported missing and when they were seen last. "We have an
ongoing investigation in progress, and are looking for any and
all leads in this case," McGee said.

A Brief Review
Understanding the "Who Would Have Won Florida" Stories
Judicial Watch Equivocates
Debunking the Heart of the Judicial Watch Report
Judging Judicial Watch by Their Own Standards
The Washington Times Distorts Judicial Watch's Findings
For a group that claims the moral high ground, Judicial Watch's announcement
that "Bush is still the winner" following their partial "sunshine count" of
the undervotes was contrived and misleading at best.  Moreover, the reports
in the media regarding this analysis are similarly spurious.
Pressed for time?  Start with this section  Debunking the Heart of the
Judicial Watch Report  or click here to link to a condensed version of this
article
A Brief Review
The whole focus on counting the undervotes was born out of the State Supreme
Court's decision to require 64 of Florida's 67 counties to manually canvass
all their undervotes (roughly 45,000 total ballots).  Such a count would not
have included Palm Beach, Volusia, or Broward Counties; the latter two
because their undervotes were included in the certified total prior to the
Court's Decision, and Palm Beach because the Court's decision included an
order to add to the state's certified vote tally the results of their
completed but tardy manual recount (a net gain of 176 votes for Gore).  In
addition, the court decision required Dade's partial manual recount (a net
gain of 168 votes for Gore) included in the certified total.  These additions
shrunk Bush's 537 vote lead down to 193 votes.   The undervote count was to
include the overvotes from all the remaining counties including Dade, which
still had roughly 9,000 undervotes yet to be reviewed.  As we all now know,
the US Supreme Court halted this count and closed the door on the Florida
election.  Enter the "sunshine count" -- a review of the ballots by various
organizations made possible by Florida's open access laws to public records.

Understanding the "Who Would Have Won Florida" Stories
Those reporting the results of the sunshine reviews thus far seem bent on
using them to play the "who really won Florida" game (in my opinion, they
should be reporting what was found rather than declaring a winner).  If such
speculation is going to be promoted, then it seems only fair to try and place
such predictions in the context of plausible election events with the
potential ti change the election's outcome.  At least three possible
scenarios exist for trying to determine a "winner" based on the sunshine
review (yes, I know there are more, but this list should suffice for the
purposes of this article):
1) Who would have won if the State Supreme Court's final decision was left
standing by the US Supreme Court?  To explore this scenario, a complete
analysis of all the undervotes from across the state (excluding Broward, Palm
Beach, and Volusia) must be compared against a 193 vote Bush lead.
click here for more details
2) Who would have won if the manual recounts requested by the Gore campaign
in 4 South Florida Counties were all completed and included in the state
totals?  Recall that everyone finished their manual recounts except for Dade
(Palm Beach finished, but missed the court imposed deadline by a few hours).
To explore this scenario, the results of a sunshine review of both the
undervotes and overvotes in Dade County should be compared to roughly a 360
vote Bush following the manual recounts in Broward, Volusia, and Palm Beach.
click here for more details
3) Who would have won in a manual review of all the machine unreadable
ballots from across the state (including undervotes and overvotes)?  This
scenario is what many critics and pundits were howling for (myself included),
but it is the highly removed from actual events in Florida (a statewide
manual recount of undervotes and overvotes was never on the table at any
point).
click here for more details

Judicial Watch Equivocates
Several media organizations have weighed in on the "who would have won
Florida" debate.  Click here for a brief synopsis of recent entries.  The
latest installment comes from a group called Judicial Watch with strong right
wing ties, which recently reported the results of its partial sunshine count
(partial meaning six counties).  They assert "that a statewide recount of the
Florida undervotes would not have changed the outcome of the presidential
election."  To summarize, Judicial Watch determined who would have won
Florida if the State Supreme Court's statewide undervote count order had been
followed based on the following: out of 45,000 from 64 counties slated to be
counted, they counted 25,000 of them in six

Twenty 10-15-year-old female children who were receiving treatment following
 reported childhood sexual abuse and 20 age-matched controls were
 compared on a series of measures assessing eating disorder behaviors,
 body image concerns, substance use, mood, impulsive behavior, and
 self-concept. RESULTS: Sexually abused children reported higher levels
 of eating disorder behaviors, impulsive behaviors, and drug abuse than
 controls. Furthermore, behavioral impulsivity provided the strongest
 mediational effect between a history of childhood sexual abuse and

 Capitol Gallery: E-mail attack slows gun bill's momentum
03/28/2001
By Christy Hoppe / The Dallas Morning News
AUSTIN – The e-mail was discharged without authorization, wounding a bill
that is the first gun-control measure in forever with a chance of passage in
the Legislature.
The measure, which would prohibit those accused or convicted of domestic
violence from having a gun, still struggles on, now weighted by controversy
and consternation.
The powerful Texas State Rifle Association, state kin to the NRA, promised to
not fight the bill by Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, but a rebel faction managed
a surprise attack.
The measure states that those under a protective order or convicted of family
violence cannot possess firearms. The bill tracks a federal law.
State association executive director Randy Gibson credits Mr. West with
meeting with the group and altering his bill to allay their concerns. As a
result, they promised to remain neutral.
"We don't want someone convicted of family violence with a gun," Mr. Gibson
said.
He said his organization promotes safety and responsibility, and Mr. West's
bill keeps with those goals.
But not every gun-rights advocate is so assured. They worry that anyone
caught in a contentious divorce might be slapped with a protective order and
their guns confiscated.
Mr. Gibson said this bill takes such concerns into account, specifying that
the protective orders that rescind gun rights must be prompted by an attempt
to do harm.
With that understanding, Mr. West's bill passed the Senate and whizzed
through House committee.
Then came the unauthorized March 20 e-mail, sent to tens of thousands of gun
owners, sparking many to call their representatives in protest.
House sponsor Rep. Toby Goodman, R-Arlington, said, "The e-mail trashed it.
Now someone's tagged the bill," meaning it is being delayed at a member's
request.
Mr. Goodman said he is confident the bill will pass, eventually.
"I don't know why they would object to something already prohibited under
federal law. And if you have a protective order against you, you shouldn't
have a handgun," he said.
Mr. Gibson said the state group sent out two follow-up e-mails, explaining
the bill and saying the group has taken a neutral stance.
Of course, every organization has its true believers, and some will probably
continue opposing the bill, he said.
"You're going to have those on the extreme edge who think no one should be
limited in having a firearm," Mr. Gibson said.
Mr. West remains philosophical.
"I tried to work with them real hard," he said. "We'll just see what happens."
The '60s
Anyone who has passed any time in Austin since the 1960s needs to sit down.
Norman "Doug" Brown is 60.
The Senate honored Mr. Brown, the founder of Oat Willies, on Tuesday.
Oat Willies is a reputable smoke store. But let's just say college kids
through the years have been known to buy a lot of pipes and cigarette papers
there.
Sen. Teel Bivins, R-Amarillo, noted that Oat Willies also is known for "the
most famous Texas bumper sticker" ever minted.
In their prime, those stickers were as ubiquitous as Volkswagen vans and are
still seen today.
And more than one senator has been known to quote the sticker in describing
their legislative efforts: "Onward Through The Fog."

Oddly Enough - Reuters | 28 March 2001

Black Stains Sow Fear, Fuel Theories

CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan police are investigating
mysterious black stains fouling the streets of the capital, which have
spawned conspiracy theories and have some drivers fearing for their
lives.

A subversive plot to sow traffic chaos, or sabotage to provide extra
business for street-cleaning contractors? The oily black stains
spreading across hundreds of miles of urban asphalt have police
investigators scratching their heads.

Police suspect the sticky grime, up to an inch (2.5 cm) thick in
places, is a mixture of used engine oil and highly corrosive brake
fluid, dispensed from plastic bags by hired muck-spreaders in the dead
of night.

Curb to curb in places, the greasy stains cover many main avenues in
Caracas, are particularly bad in tunnels and stretch up to 20 miles
(30 km) on highways from the city center.

``It's dangerous because someone could get killed,'' said cyclist
Milner Paredes.

The Central University says the stains, which first appeared in 1994
but returned with a vengeance this year, could be linked to poor
maintenance of the city streets, but the government sees a conspiracy:

``It is the work of subversives,'' said Caracas Mayor Freddy Bernal.

The saboteurs have even resorted to hiring the homeless to spread the
greasy black liquids, authorities say.

``When it rains, you can't touch the brakes without the car skidding
and I've seen quite a few motorcycle couriers take a tumble,'' said
Caracas cabbie Gerardo Gutierrez.

Attempts to rid the city of the scourge have been frustrated by
repeated dousings, police say.

The stains have become a favorite talking point for city dwellers and
pushed gory tales of violent crime onto the inside pages of the local
tabloids.

``We have cleaned Baralt Avenue three times and the stain keeps coming
back,'' Jose Antonio Calo, an engineer at the Caracas town hall, told
the top-selling Ultimas Noticias.

[CTRL] Fwd: Nazi nerve gas tests on our men

2001-03-28 Thread Aleisha Saba

This mad cow disease etc., somehow this MI5 cannot be trusted anymore,
in particular, under Tony Blair.

Could some of the cattle have been given bad vaccines?   Time to
vaccinate is before the fact, not duringfrom mad cow to hoof and
mouth - pigs and cattle slaughtered - and now a huge number, largest in
history of Britain it is allleged, will be burned in one heap like a
Nazi war camp?

McDonalds is under fire for there is international effort to run them
out of business...genetically engineered food - Prince Charles came out
against this stuff long ago, and still is now in agreement

Then this article re the mustard gas and other gases the English stored
after WWII..this sarin gas (??) was looked in the Japanese subway
the day a member of their Doomsday Cult was sentenced in prison

Conspiracy  - death of cattle and cows will affect the dairy industry as
well - cheese, milk, ice cream and butter.anything that is not
genetically engineered is to be terminated

Some of the symptoms of the sick cattle have been blistering - and one
wonders if there is not some type of chemical warfare involved here?
Are they going to blame that on Osama bin Laden; and where did Sadan
Hussein get all the mustard gas which is old hat   Could the English
have sold it to him?

This is all ritual murder - and of course the idea is to blame the arabs
for acts of terrorism; but then, I remember the USS Liberty.

Nazi nerve gas tests on our men

British scientists used nerve gas plundered from the Nazis to poison
their own servicemen during secret tests at Porton Down research base,
it emerged yesterday.

They carried out chilling experiments with vast quantities of deadly
agents recovered from Germany in 1945. Hitler's forces had developed
sarin, tabun and mustard gas to test on concentration camp victims.

Allied forces found stockpiles of the chemicals which were shipped to
Britain and used on more than 3,000 volunteer soldiers, sailors and
airmen at the controversial base in Wiltshire to test their impact on
humans.Details of the Nazi link came in a new book entitled Gassed
yesterday after the Daily Express revealed MoD scientists face charges
over the scandal.


 Express Newspapers, 2000

saba note:   Well what about the anthrax vaccines where our men have
been experimental subjects at the ORDER  of Clinton?Gulf War
Syndrome - where did Sadaam get that old obsolete mustard gas?

How deep has MI6 infiltrated into US intelligence under Clinton - old
line did not like what was going on in this country - and old line CIA
was in deep water as well..under Clinton the KGB/Mossad did more
sabotage to this country than we will ever know - Clinton should be

The Nazi Hydra

In Fascist America
The Nazi Hydra In Fascist America is a currently an ongoing work in progress
of the White Rose. The Nazi Hydra was conceived to fill a gap in the
literature by providing a detailed overview of the influence of fascism
within the United States. The intent and motivation for such a project was
twofold: to sound an ominous warning as to the direction this country is
taking at the hands of the right wing and to provide a convenient all
encompassing source on fascism in the Untied States for the reader. In this
regards the chapters are heavily documented. And I urge the reader here and
throughout the book to read the sources cited for further details.When
complete the book is projected to span sixteen chapters. Chapters will be
made available on this web site as they are completed.
After two years into this project I now understand why such a book was never
attempted before. Such a detailed accounting of fascism within this country
would literally fill volumes. Some of the chapters are brutally long, yet I
feel that I have omitted far too many details for the sake of the reader. For
instance, the Chapter Ratlines covering the CIA and its reliance on Nazi war
criminals, is over 27,000 words or roughly 60 pages.
Many details had to be omitted in writing that chapter in setting up the
premise of how this over reliance of Nazi war criminals started the cold war,
influenced our foreign policy and even influence our medical testing on
orphans and prisoners. At least a half dozen excellent books exploring this
aspect of fascism comes to mind and the reader is referred to them
extensively in the chapter. But such omissions of details become a fact of
life in presenting a broad overview of a complex and many faceted topic.
In fact nothing remains unchanged from the original outline. Even the title
was changed to better reflect on the subject from the original title of High
Noon: in Fascist America. The real danger of fascism is that its so insidious
that it can creep into every crack of daily life unnoticed including religi
ous groups, hence the logic behind the change in title. Chapters were omitted
and others added as research dictated. Additional information and revisions
need and will be made in some of the chapters already written. But such
changes are the hallmark of good research.
Some readers will undoubtedly find the Nazi Hydra disturbing. They shudder at
reports of another Nazi war criminal being deported and the crimes against
humanity that he inflicted onto others. They fear to ask the question how
such a person could slip into the country or how many more are present.
Others may be livid with anger as the Nazi Hydra details the associations of
the Republican Party and past presidents: Nixon, Ford, Bush and Reagan with
Nazi war criminals. But history cannot be rewritten and it's a story that
must be told. Those that aided Nazi war criminals are no less guilty of
crimes against humanity than any of the Nazi war criminals and need be held
fully accountable at the end of a hangman's rope. As today we stand at the
edge of a deep chasm with the right wing ready to shove us over the edge into
full-blown fascism.
Still others may find the Nazi Hydra as it was intended as a useful resource
and the danger that fascism presents to the world and the United States
today. In fact I have received an email from a wonderful lady in New Zealand
that has been using it as a reference in the forum MAI-NOT. Her email with
her name omitted appears in the rave review link below. The one thing I do
promise is the book will not end in darkness. The final chapter will be a
chapter detailing solutions to stopping fascism dead in its tracks. For the
reader that cannot wait one such proposal can be found in the Corporate
Welfare section in the links section of the White Rose. The proposed solution
to ending once and for all time corporate rule and domination is the proposed
constitutional amendment.
I would greatly appreciate if any reader has documentable evidence of fascism
or of right wing propaganda material to please email such material to me. One
particular item that I am currently seeking is a list of the twenty one steps
to communism originally put out by the John Birch Society in the 1960s. And
currently being promoted by a militia group from Arizona and recently found
posted on a bulletin board of a Midwest state university.
I hope you find the Nazi Hydra useful and please feel free to quote it or
cite it.

A Reversal on Public Access to Chemical Data

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/27/politics/27ACCI.html

By CARL HULSE

WASHINGTON, March 26 - Citing national security, the Environmental
Protection Agency earlier this month rescinded a Clinton administration
proposal to increase public access to information about
the potential consequences of chemical plant accidents.
Advocates of disseminating the so- called worst-case scenarios submitted by
chemical plant operators say the data could help communities prepare for
disasters like industrial explosions. But members of Congress, industry
officials and law enforcement authorities have argued that the information
is too sensitive and could be used by terrorists to plot attacks.
Environmental Protection Agency officials said they wanted to discuss the
"national security concerns" of the Clinton proposal with the Justice
Department, an agency spokeswoman said.
The proposal would have allowed people to visit reading rooms and review
risk management plans on computer systems that let them read the material
but not copy or print it.
Originally, the agency was to post all the information on the Internet, but
Congress blocked that plan in 1999.
Freedom-of-information groups eventually placed summaries of some reports
on the Web.
Advocates of disclosing the full reports are concerned by the latest E.P.A.
action, noting that the agency's new administrator, Christie Whitman,
removed more than 1,000 hazardous industrial chemicals from New Jersey's
so-called right-to-know list of those subject to state inspection while she
was governor.
"It is quite ominous coming from an E.P.A. head who slashed two- thirds of
the chemicals that New Jersey right-to-know regulates," said Rick Hind,
legislative director of the Greenpeace toxics campaign.
The E.P.A's decision is one of several steps the new administration has
taken to block actions initiated in the final days of the Clinton
administration.
Those pushing for more disclosure said that even the Clinton plan fell far
short of their goal of making more information available.
"It is still difficult for citizens to understand what threats face their
communities," said Rick Blum, a spokesman for the public interest group OMB
Watch.
At present, members of the public can arrange to visit federal document
reading rooms and review risk management plans for plants in their
immediate area. They are prohibited from removing or mechanically copying
the information. Those who want to examine the plans of plants outside
their communities are limited to 10 per month. The Clinton proposal, in
addition to allowing people to view plans of factories outside their area,
would have enhanced access for those deemed to be qualified researchers.
Environmental groups say intense lobbying by the chemical industry led
Congress in 1999 to block release of the accident scenarios and impose
tight restrictions on the information.
"It is just a smoke screen to shut down public information that is
embarrassing to an industry that continues to use obsolete chemicals and
processes that are inherently dangerous," Mr. Hind said about the national
security issue.
But industry officials say Congress acted in response to the F.B.I. and
others who said that allowing easy access to the information was tantamount
to providing a road map to terrorists.
"We agreed with the experts," said Michael Walls, senior counsel for the
American Chemistry Council. "The Department of Justice came in and said it
was a risk."

INTERNET CONSPIRACY GAME INVADES PLAYERS REAL LIFE

http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/archive/27-3-19101-0-22-6.html

Internet conspiracy game fears
CAMERON SIMPSON
IT is a chilling scenario. The silence is shattered by a ringing
telephone and a hysterical woman screaming that someone is trying to
break into her house.

The call is abruptly terminated, to be replaced by a mobile phone text
message which warns you to "Back off - if you know what's good for you".

It is straight out of a Hollywood thriller and like the Michael Douglas
film, The Game. However the line between fiction and reality could soon
be blurred in Scotland by a controversial computer game which cannot be
turned off and pursues players into their real lives.

Players of Majestic are immersed in the world of a suspense thriller
involving conspiracies, menacing fugitives and secret political
organisations from which they cannot escape.

According to its American producers, players become ''pawns'' in the
complex game before being bombarded with threatening phone calls, faxes
and e-mails convincing them they are involved in a deep-seated
conspiracy.

The game, which begins on the internet, has just been launched in
America and producers are now looking to transport it across the
Atlantic. As yet it is not set up to deal with international calls.

Despite its mandatory adults-only rating, critics claim the way in which
Majestic pursues players is harassment. Psychologists warned yesterday
that it could lead to breakdowns in vulnerable people and damage
development if accessed by children.

Dr Geoff Scobie, a psychologist at Glasgow University, said: "Many
people already have problems distinguishing between fantasy and reality,
and my concern is that something like this could blur that line even
further.

"One of the key parts of a child's psychological development is learning
to distinguish between the two, and this game could be damaging if they
became involved.

"Trying to disconnect people from reality is a well-known brainwashing
technique and this could trigger breakdowns if the player is unable to
end the game."

The producers of Majestic, distributed by the industry giant, Electronic
Arts, boast of how it is the world's first game to reach out and connect
with people's real lives. The point of the game is to solve the
conspiracy, making use of hidden clues, but it is impossible for players
to step out of the game or know whether the other characters in the game
are human players or programmed.

The American game producer, Neil Young, has described how his disturbing
game drew people in and turned players into "pawns''.

He said: "Players are just pawns in the game. Once you are in it you are
bombarded with phone calls to your home, faxes and e-mail messages to
your office and text messages to your mobile phone. It is up to you to
make sense of it."

A spokeswoman for the British subsidiary of Electronic Arts was
reluctant last night to be drawn on the row or when the game would
arrive in the UK.

She said: "The game has been extremely well received in the US, and we
are looking at ways of bringing it here.

"We cannot say for sure if or when that will be. It should be noted that
there are very tight controls on who can go on the website which go far
beyond other on-line games, so there is no danger of children getting
access."

[CTRL] U.S. Military Moves To Control Space

U.S. MILITARY MOVES TO CONTROL SPACE AND
BE ENFORCEMENT ARM FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

Presentation at Technology and Globalization Teach-In

New York City,  February 24, 2001

by Karl Grossman

The United States is seeking to control space and from space
dominate the Earth below and "control" and "dominate" are words used
repeatedly in U.S. military documents. The U.S. military, further, would
like to base weapons in space.  The new Bush administration is gung-ho for
U.S. projection of space military power. As last month's report of the
"Space Commission" chaired by incoming Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
puts it: "In the coming period, the U.S. will conduct operations to, from,
in and through space in support of its national interests both on the
Earth and in space." Star Wars is back.
But there's a difference since Star Wars first emerged under
Ronald Reagan in 1983. Then it was purportedly needed to fend off what
Reagan called the "evil empire," the Soviet Union. There is no Soviet
Union any longer. And a key rationale for Star Wars now, U.S. military
documents acknowledge, is the global economy of which the U.S. is the
engine. The U.S. would, from the "ultimate high ground" of space,
"dominate" the planet below in part to keep the global economy on track.
Says the U.S. Space Command's "Vision for 2020" report , its cover
depicting a laser weapon shooting a beam down from space zapping a target
below: "The globalization of the world economy will also continue with a
widening between "haves and have-nots." From space, the U.S. would keep
those "have-nots" in line.
The U.S. Space Command, set up by the Pentagon in 1985, describes
itself in "Vision for 2020" this way: "US Space Command dominating the
space dimension of military operations to protect US interests and
investment.  Integrating Space Forces into warfighting capabilities across
the full spectrum of conflict."  Vision for 2020 compares the U.S. effort
to "control space" and Earth below to how centuries ago "nations built
navies to protect and enhance their commercial interests," referring to
the great empires of Europe that ruled the waves and thus the Earth to
maintain their imperial economies.
Consider the "Long Range Plan" of the U.S. Space Command. "The
United States will remain a global power and exert global leadership," it
says. "The United States won't always be able to forward base its forces.
Widespread communications will highlight disparities in resources and
quality of life contributing to unrest in developing countries. The global
economy will continue to become more interdependent. Economic alliances,
as well as the growth and influence of multi-national corporations, will
blur security agreements. The gap between have' and have-not' nations will
widen creating regional unrest. One of the long acknowledged and commonly
understood advantages of space-based platforms is no restriction or
country clearances to overfly a nation from space."
The U.S. Space Command seeks to become "the enforcement arm for the
global economy," as Bill Sulzman, director of Citizens for Peace In Space
put it at the international conference last year of the Global Network
Against Weapons and Nuclear Power In Space.
  U.S. citizens are not aware of the broad military plans of the
U.S. for space because of the PR spin of the new Star Wars pitch (it's
about protecting against a "Space Pearl Harbor," as the Rumsfeld
Commission puts it, "just" about "missile defense") and due to
communications media that are lazy and worse. But other nations of the
world do understand. That's why, at the United Nations last November 20, a
resolution was introduced on which 163 nations voted yes for "Prevention
of an Arms Race in Outer Space." It reaffirmed the basic international law
on space, the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, and specifically its provision
that space be set-aside for "peaceful purposes." The United States
abstained.
  A country leading in the international effort to stop the U.S.
plans by strengthening the Outer Space Treaty and barring all weapons from
space is Canadano potential rival.
  As Marc Vidricaire, representing Canada, said at the UN last
year: "It has been suggested that our proposal is not relevant because the
assessment on which it rests is either premature or alarmist.  In our
view, it is neither.  One need only look at what is happening right now."
Moreover, stressed the Canadian statement, "There is no question that the
technology can be developed to place weapons in outer space.  There is
also no question that no state can expect to maintain a monopoly on such
knowledge -- or such capabilities -- for all time.  If one state actively
pursues the weaponization of space, we can be sure others will follow."
But the rogue state called the United States is blocking the Canadian
initiative. For the U.S. thinks it can be as the motto of the Air Force
Space Command terms

Massive New Top Secret Spy-Satellite Program to Cost up to $25 Billion

http://commondreams.org/headlines01/0318-02.htm

by Peter Pae

A team of Southern California aerospace companies is covertly recruiting
engineers across the country for a new generation of spy satellites under
what analysts believe is the largest intelligence-related contract ever.
The supersecret project for the National Reconnaissance Office is estimated
to be worth up to $25 billion over two decades, providing a major boost to
the Southland's aerospace industry and solidifying the area's dominance of
high-tech space research.
Equipped with powerful telescopes and radar, the nation's newest eye in
space is expected to form the backbone of U.S.  intelligence for several
decades, analysts said. The satellites will be farther out in space and
harder to detect than the massive spy probes that currently orbit the
Earth. They will also be able to fly over and take pictures of military
compounds anywhere in the world, in darkness or through cloud cover, with
far more frequency.
Company officials are restricted from talking about the highly classified
contract, but Roger Roberts, general manager of the Boeing Co. unit in Seal
Beach overseeing the project, gave a hint of its scope.
The endeavor will require 5,000 engineers, technicians and computer
programmers over the next five years, and that will just be for the initial
design and development of the satellites, he said.
That figure doesn't include thousands more who will be required to assemble
the satellites, most likely at Boeing Satellite Systems in El Segundo, and
thousands of workers employed by hundreds of subcontractors and parts
suppliers such as the 1,900-employee Marconi Integrated Systems in San
Diego.  Sending the satellites into space will also require new rockets,
which should also bolster the launch industry.
The need for engineers has been so great that two months ago Boeing opened
a recruitment office in Sunnyvale, where it is targeting both dot-com
survivors and Lockheed Martin Corp.  engineers who built many of the spy
satellites now in orbit. After dominating that business since the 1950s,
Lockheed lost the new contract to Boeing.
John Pike, a Washington, D.C.-based military space consultant, believes
that in all, the work could eventually mean jobs for at least 20,000 people
in California.
"Lots of kids will be sent to college, lots of swimming pools are going to
get built and a lot of people will spend their career working on this
project," Pike said.
Still, most state officials said they know little about the project.
"I don't think most people are aware of how big this is," said Mike
Marando, spokesman for the California Technology, Trade and Commerce
Agency. "We know California benefits substantially, but by exactly how much
we just don't know."
The National Reconnaissance Office hasn't helped. The enigmatic agency
announced the contract in a three-paragraph news release posted on its
bare-bones Web site little more than a year ago. The project is officially
known as Future Imagery Architecture.
Despite slowly opening itself up in recent years, the NRO still remains one
of the most secretive government agencies. Even its innocuous logoa space
probe circling the globe, was a secret until 1994.
Besides saying it awarded the contract to Boeing "to develop, provide
launch integration and operate the nation's next generation of imagery
reconnaissance satellites," not much else has been revealed.
Virtually everything else about the contract, its dollar amount, the number
of satellites to be built, who is doing what and where, and the
capabilities of the satellite, is secret. Even the duration of the contract
is deemed classified.
"This program is so secret that most of the people who work on it won't
have a good sense of what they are doing," said Loren Thompson, a defense
analyst at the Arlington, Va.-based Lexington Institute.
Still, aerospace analysts have been able to draw some conclusions through
past reconnaissance programs based on public information gleaned

The Senate's charity case
Now we know which political party is truly the Party of the Little People. Noble
Senate Democrats have come to the aid of a downtrodden woman. They are furiously
passing the plate for this destitute soul, pulling out all the stops to help her get
back on her feet.Who is this charity case? Not a welfare mom. Not a Cuban
refugee. Not a homeless teen. It's poor little Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), the
former dot-com executive who spent $10 million she doesn't have to win her seat.
Cantwell's personal fortune, estimated at $40 million, went poof when her tech-heavy
portfolio plunged last fall. Her campaign debt reported at the end of December was
$4.3 million.
Young staffers went uncompensated for months. Dozens of small businesses still await 
payments. Two weeks ago, Cantwell failed to pay a hefty bank loan for which she had 
used her volatile stock in Seattle-based RealNetwork
s as collateral. Cantwell has another bank note due in full in June.
Bills, bills, bills. What's a politician on the public dole to do? Cantwell's 
deep-pocketed colleagues in the Senate feel her pain. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) 
told Roll Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper, this week th
at "this is a very hard time" for Cantwell. Well, break out the ultra-strength Kleenex 
and super-sized checkbooks. "We're trying to raise money to help her, trying to give 
her good advice -- good financial advice," Feinst
ein said.
Cantwell will certainly be learning from a pro. Feinstein, the eighth richest member 
of Congress, is worth an estimated $50 million. How did she make the big bucks? She 
married multimillionaire businessman Richard Blum, w
ho has helped Feinstein secure shady loans and refinanced one of their many lavish 
homes to fund her Senate campaigns.
Also on the Cantwell salvation army band: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York). 
She plans to hold a fund-raiser for her impoverished colleague next month at her $2.85 
million mansion in Washington, D.C. Like Feinstein
, money honey Hillary is a financial whiz who can give Cantwell sage advice on such 
varied topics as securing lucrative book deals, speculating in cattle futures, saving 
money on home furnishings, stiffing struggling wait
resses, and purchasing not one, but two, seven-figure homes (with favorable mortgage 
terms, of course) -- all while carrying more than $5 million in legal debts she owes 
with that guy who's loafing around her house in Cha
ppaqua.
The filthy rich Democratic men of the Senate are offering a gallant hand and open 
wallet, as well. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) has reportedly offered to host a 
fund-raiser for Cantwell and hook her up to his Massachuset
ts campaign donor base. Kennedy, of course, is the senior heir of his daddy's booze 
biz fortune -- totaling some $850 million, according to Forbes magazine. Sen. John 
Edwards (D-N.C.) -- who earned his wealth as a glorifi
ed ambulance chaser -- chaired a $200,000 fund-raiser for Cantwell at his D.C. mansion 
last week.
By day, these loaded Senate Democrats attack President Bush and the Republicans for
catering to the rich and powerful. They oppose income tax cuts, capital gains tax
cuts and death tax cuts. They oppose school vouchers for poor children. They
champion campaign finance reforms to punish big political spenders like Cantwell,
then fill their nights drumming up dollars for themselves and cash-strapped
colleagues ... like Cantwell.
Such are the Democrat Party's grand acts of compassionate liberalism. Where would we
little people be without them?

The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational
tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the
State among its hapless subjects.  His task is to demonstrate
repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the
"democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist
by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse
of objective necessity.  He strives to show that the existence of
taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between
the exploiting rulers and the
