[CTRL] Weighing McVeigh
-Caveat Lector- From }}Begin Memo on the Margin June 11, 2001 Timothy McVeigh, Killed in Action Memo To: Families of Oklahoma City Casualties From: Jude Wanniski Re: The War at Home If you type Waco into Google search engine at the right, you will find Ive been writing about the consequences of Waco since 1993, when the Branch Davidians were incinerated by the Federal Government while Timothy McVeigh looked on. I continue to get crazed hate mail from people who complain about my attempt at objective analysis, which led me to advocate life in prison over execution for McVeigh. Yet in the last days before he was put to death this morning, I saw that he had carefully thought out the reason why he had to be executed, killed in action being preferable to spending the rest of his life in a concentration camp. These are my terms, not his, as I can now more easily understand his willingness to die. For as he reasoned, he was willing to die for his country when he went to war in the Gulf, when it was not clear to him why it was so important that so many young Iraqi boys in uniform had to be killed. Yes, our Commander-in-Chief thought it had to be done, and those kinds of decisions were above his pay grade. He was troubled sufficiently by what he was seeing and hearing in the Gulf -- tens of thousands of Iraqi boys slaughtered by the forces assembled against Saddam Hussein -- that on his return home he began acting strangely, looking for a political footing. Something was wrong, he says, and I believe him. Thats because I have thought something wrong too, but Jude Wanniski can get up every morning and think he can leverage himself to be able to change the direction our government is taking in the way it manages problems at home and in the rest of the world. Ive been totally disgusted with the behavior of our government these last ten years in our treatment of the people of Iraq. I cannot forget our U.N. Ambassador, Madeleine Albright, telling Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children during our embargo was a price worth paying in order to deal with Saddam. Collateral damage. Im not a soldier and have never had to think like one. But as a man of ideas, some worthwhile and some not, I was horrified by Waco, and could see that in politics, as in physics, for every action there is a reaction, and there was bound to be one, just as the blowing up of the World Trade Center came from Muslims acting out of a sense that our Federal Government was deaf to the entreaties of the Islamic world. Even though McVeigh chose the anniversary of Waco for his personal act of war, the initial belief was that Oklahoma City was a Muslim act. To me, Waco was a signal that in our national organism which we might call the Body Politic, there was a cancer, one that called out for an anti-body from its immune system. It was McVeigh who believed himself to be drafted for the purpose of attacking that cancer. As soon as I learned that David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians, went into Waco every two weeks to shop, buy the papers, and look around, it was obvious our Federal Government had committed mass murder at Waco. If the government wished to, it could have picked him up at the 7-11 and asked what was going on in the compound with guns and little girls. So it was a Holocaust, Ruby Ridge writ large. And please, my Jewish friends, do not write me that the Nazis wiped out 6 million Jews and we only wiped out several dozen sect members. Volume does not count. Our foreign policy toward Iraq has already racked up 1.5 million innocent s since 1991, mostly little children and old folks. As a political philosopher, I did think the Waco action had to produce a violent reaction if it were not satisfactorily addressed by the government. If President William Clinton had called in the press corps and announced that his administration would take full responsibility for the deaths of the Waco incident and condemn those responsible -- that would have been sufficient. Instead, as we all remember, our new, young President hid under his desk, his press secretary issuing the statement that the assault of the Waco compound was not his decision, but that of Janet Reno, his Attorney General. But I do not for a moment say responsibility stops at the desk of Bill Clinton, which is how President Harry Truman might have handled it. The ENTIRE political establishment crowded under the same desk. If Timothy McVeigh were waiting for some kind of

When Jay Rockefeller was Govenor of West Virginia, it was said the CIA was operatiang in the mines and the juke boxes were laying Take Me Home Country Roads, to bring back the workers many of whom came to Ohio and ended up on our welfare roles. So - Nelson and John D that year I believe both were murdered and Henry Kissinger then became the Benson of the Rockefeller regime. It is said Rockefeller never carried any money, he had a blank check and stop and think - so does William Jefferson Clinton. It is all too obvious William Jefferson Clinton was a cloned version of John F. Kennedy - from Camelot to Dog Patch, and never forget - John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan WERE NOT CFR...had they been in, there would not have been an assassins bullet with their number on it666. Saba For that is what the underworld called JFK and Reagan - 666.

[CTRL] WSJ: Stan Lee Media Co-Founder Paul Is Accused of Manipulating Stock
-Caveat Lector- http://interactive.wsj.com June 13, 2001 Stan Lee Media Co-Founder Paul Is Accused of Manipulating Stock By BROOKS BARNES Staff Reporter THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK -- The co-founder of Stan Lee Media Inc. was indicted along with a Wall Street analyst and two others on charges they cost investors more than $25 million by manipulating the comic-book company's stock. Stan Lee Media Announces SEC Probe, Says Firm Found Possible Irregularities (Jan. 3) The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York is seeking the extradition of Peter Paul, who co-founded the Encino, Calif., company with Stan Lee in 1999, from Brazil, where he is believed to reside. Stephen M. Gordon, the company's executive vice president, Charles Kusche, a stock promoter, and Jeffrey Pittsburg, a Wall Street analyst, have all been arrested, charged with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and released on bail. Stan Lee, the creator of Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk, wasn't charged in the indictment. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ken Breen said the investigation is continuing. Nicholas DeFeis, an attorney for Mr. Pittsburg, said his client stands by the integrity of his research and plans to fight the charges. Harland Braun, who represents Mr. Gordon, said his client carried out basic mechanical functions of the company without any understanding whatsoever of the overall scheme. Mr. Kusche and Mr. Lee weren't available for comment. Larry Klayman, Mr. Paul's attorney and head of Judicial Watch, a conservative organization that has filed suits against the Clinton administration, said his client is cooperating with prosecutors. Unrelated to the charges, Mr. Klayman also said Mr. Paul was a contributor to the Senate campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton and that he had discussed a deal to induce Bill Clinton to work with his business ventures after he left the White House. A Center for Responsive Politics database shows that Stan Lee Media gave $100,000 in soft money to a group backing Mrs. Clinton's candidacy. A spokeswoman for Sen. Clinton (D., N.Y.) declined comment. A spokeswoman for Mr. Clinton didn't return phone calls. According to the indictment, Messrs. Paul and Gordon hired Mr. Pittsburg to tout Stan Lee stock. The government also alleges that Messrs. Paul and Gordon borrowed large sums from Merrill Lynch Co. through nominee accounts using Stan Lee stock as collateral as a way to sell their Stan Lee stock without causing the share price to plummet. Then, to sell their secretly owned stock, Messrs. Paul and Gordon made undisclosed payments to Messrs. Pittsburg and Kusche, who arranged for others to buy the stock. According to the indictment, Messrs. Paul and Gordon stopped making payments to Messrs. Pittsburg and Kusche in late 2000. This caused Stan Lee's stock price to plunge, leaving investors with worthless stock and Merrill Lynch with no collateral of value. Stan Lee filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy-court protection in February. === Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer*[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends === A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] WSJ: Meet the Ugly European
-Caveat Lector- http://interactive.wsj.com June 13, 2001 Commentary Meet the Ugly European By Mark Steyn, a columnist for Britain's Daily Telegraph and Canada's National Post. This week, George W. Bush is making one of his rare forays into what I believe the official State Department maps label The Rest of the World. But before he left for Europe he took the precaution of sending his hosts a Wish I Weren't Here postcard, announcing unilaterally that the number of annual U.S.-European Union summits is to be cut from two to one. This move so stunned the chancelleries of Europe that they took time out of their hectic schedule of sneering about what a cretin/oil stooge/blundering cowboy the guy is to complain that for some unfathomable reason the cretin/stooge/etc. doesn't want to hang out with them. Yankee, Come Back! In other words, Mr. Bush is the U.S. president Europe's been demanding for decades. You no longer, as half the present European cabinets did in their youth, have to jump up and down outside the U.S. embassy shouting Yankee, go home! because this Yankee's got no desire to leave the house in the first place. So the only question now is why, after years of deploring American imperialism, Europe's anti-Yank elites have seamlessly moved on to being just as snide and patronizing about American isolationism. Le Monde, the bible of France's lefty establishment, ran a cartoon the other day showing on one side the world in chaos and on the other Uncle Sam at his desk, fast asleep with his phone unplugged. Yankee, come back! The Rest of the World's verdict on the new administration was deftly summarized by the Reuters diplomatic editor, Paul Taylor, in his assessment of the first 100 days: In just 14 weeks, he has angered China, cold-shouldered Russia, humiliated South Korea, worried Japan, dismayed the Arab world, irritated the European Union, outraged environmentalists and snubbed campaigners for global justice. Wow! Now that's what Broadway producers call a money review! I cut it out and stuck it on the fridge, and it was only on rereading it that it occurred to me Mr. Taylor might have intended his remarks disapprovingly. If so, the best way to answer him is to consider the alternative: For eight remorseless years, Bill Clinton kissed up to China, schmoozed North Korea, yukked it up with Yasser Arafat and conducted EU summits like a Friars' Club roast, kibitzing and cutting up with Gerhard, Wim, and Jacques as if he were Steve Lawrence and they were Henny Youngman, Joey Bishop and Buddy Hackett. Bill Clinton divided foreigners into those he bombed and everyone else, all of whom -- the president of Brazil, the prime minister of Kazakstan, the deputy tourism and fisheries minister of the South Sandwich Islands -- were his best friend and not just a wonderful human being but a great humanitarian. And what does America have to show for it? From the Middle East to the Balkans to last week's election results in Northern Ireland, the limitations of the Clintonian speak-sappily-and-carry-a-big-shtick approach are all too evident. Of course, Jacques Chirac isn't Buddy Hackett, and his fastidious Gallic distaste for America's cheesy glad-hander was painful to behold. But the Europeans put up with it because, generally speaking, they got their way and nothing was asked in return. A politically united Europe, declared Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, will be a stronger partner to advance our common goals. Oh, really? In 1998, when Mr. Clinton was threatening Iraq with Gulf War II, the only task force he could assemble was comprised of a zillion American B-52s, 14 British Harriers, the Canadian ship Toronto, and some backup from Down Under. The Clinton coalition, 1998: the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand. What do these countries have in common? Well, let's see . . . Language: English. Head of state: Her Majesty the Queen. When Mr. Clinton, the great multiculturalist and diversity-celebrator, called in his chits from abroad, you couldn't help noticing a certain uniculturalism and homogeneity. And in five years' time, with Britain tied in to a common EU defense policy, you can forget about those 14 Harriers. At this point, it should be said that by Europe I'm referring to the Continent's governing elite, which leans left. But it's not really about left or right in the sense of political alternatives so much as a permanent European governing class with very tight rules of admission. For half a century, Austria exemplified the Euro-ideal, a two-party one-party state where, whether you vote for the center-left party or the center-right party, you wind up with the same center-left/center-right two-party coalition. When 29% of Austrian voters were impertinent enough to plump for Joerg Haider's Freedom Party, the EU put the squeeze on them with sanctions and boycotts. As the Swedish Prime Minister Goeran Persson put it,
[CTRL] NYT: Charges Near in Bombing at Saudi Base, U.S. Aides Say
-Caveat Lector- http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/13/world/13KHOB.html?searchpv=nytToday June 13, 2001 Charges Near in Bombing at Saudi Base, U.S. Aides Say WASHINGTON, June 12 - After a five-year inquiry that at times seemed near collapse because of disagreements with Saudi Arabia, American authorities said today that they were close to bringing charges against Saudi militants for the 1996 truck bombing at the Khobar Towers apartment building that killed 19 American airmen. It was unclear when the indictments might be returned or whether any of the dozens of Saudis already in jail in connection with the bombing would be among them. It was also uncertain whether any of those likely to be cited in the charges could actually be brought to the United States to stand trial. The federal grand jury investigation has been conducted by the F.B.I and prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia. The possible indictments were first reported tonight by CBS News. For years, the case has been swept up in the changing relationship between the United States and Iran, which some counterterorism officials have blamed at least in part for helping to mastermind the attack, through officers of its state intelligence service. Some officials said that it now appeared unlikely that any Iranian officials would be accused of complicity in the bombing, although the complete list of people to be charged, their nationalities and possible links to foreign governments remained unclear. In recent years, as relations improved with the moderate government of President Mohammad Khatami, American diplomats have demanded what law enforcement officials have described as direct and specific evidence of Iranian involvement before they would accuse Iran of responsibility. A charge of state sponsorship against Iran could provoke politically unpalatable demands for military retaliation, which the Clinton administration initially threatened against the perpetrators. The case has been a high priority for the outgoing F.B.I. director, Louis J. Freeh. He pledged a full investigation and traveled to Saudi Arabia frequently, often on frustrating missions to obtain its government's reluctant cooperation in solving the bombing. Three years ago, angry over the unwillingness of the Saudis to allow the F.B.I. greater access, Mr. Freeh quietly pulled out the dozens of investigators initially sent to the scene of the bombing, an apartment complex in eastern Saudi Arabia, leaving behind only a single agent as a legal attachÈ and liaison to the Saudis. But the F.B.I. along with the Departments of Justice and Defense vowed that they would never abandon the inquiry, which began after a fuel truck packed with tons of explosives detonated outside the apartment complex. About 500 people were wounded in the blast. Federal officials complained that the Saudis refused to allow agents to interrogate dozens of suspects arrested by the Saudis and to review critical evidence. It took months after the bombing, they said, for the Saudis to agree to allow the F.B.I. to examine a car used by the bombers during their escape. Some American business executives and others close to the Saudi government said the Saudis were equally frustrated by the F.B.I. They said the Saudis complained that the bureau was reluctant to accept the validity of evidence gathered by the Saudis, suggesting that the attack was carried out by Saudi dissidents with the help of Iran. The evidence, they said, included videotapes of confessions by some suspects and wiretaps.

[CTRL] Time Magazine says viva los border jumpers (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- http://wnd.com/news/printer-friendly.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23188 Time says viva los border jumpers By Don Feder © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com Welcome to Amexica, reads the cover of the June 11 Time Magazine. The border is vanishing before our eyes, creating a new world for all of us. Viva diversity not to mention poverty, rising government expenditures and loss of national identity. More than 4,600 illegals cross our southern border every day, Time tells us. It approvingly quotes a border resident who insists, Trying to stop this migration is like trying to stop a wave with a Dixie cup. Thanks in part to the human deluge, Salsa is more popular than ketchup; Salma Hayek is bigger than Madonna and the border is everywhere, the magazine exalts. One day soon it may seem a little backward for someone in the U.S. not to speak some Spanish. Ole! And wouldn't it be nice if all of the aliens here spoke more than a little English. Time reflects the mindset of America's elites on immigration from Mexico: The tide is unstoppable; they're taking jobs Americans don't want; diversity means ethnic cuisine and celebrity glamour, and no downside. Mexican President Vicente Fox is delighted to send us his surplus population, and the social problems that go with them. His government has even proposed providing survival kits (food, medicine, etc.) to help illegals cope with the perils of border jumping. Understandably, America is a mecca for this nation of 100 million. The average American worker earns more in an hour than his Mexican counterpart makes in a day. Jobs, health care, education and just about everything else here is vastly superior to what's available there. Per capita gross national product in the United States is $29,240, compared with $7,450 in Mexico. But, only one side benefits from the flow. Almost 60 percent of Mexicans have no more than a primary-school education. Those who emigrate compete for jobs with our poorest citizens. Due to this competition, real wages for the 10 million Americans who lack a high-school diploma declined 7.2 percent in the '90s. Nearly 80 percent of Mexicans settle in four border states. Among all immigrant households, 33.9 percent use a major welfare program. As illegals operate in the shadow economy, most pay no taxes. However, they do make a substantial contribution to the costs of everything from education to law enforcement. The Immigration and Naturalization Service estimates there are now 400,000 Mexicans living illegally in Arizona, up from 115,000 five years ago. Hispanics now account for two-thirds of all students in the Phoenix school system. The city spends $49 million annually on health care for these uninvited guests. Porous borders pose more than an economic problem. Last week, Antonio Villaraigosa, the son of Mexican immigrants, lost the race for mayor of Los Angeles. A May 31 Los Angeles Times story noted that as a student, Villaraigosa led the UCLA chapter of a militant Hispanic group called MEChA, which advocates returning California and the Southwestern United States to Mexico. During the campaign, when asked by a reporter for KFI radio if he still adhered to the group's anti-American goals, the former speaker of the California Assembly refused to answer. Villaraigosa's election would have marked a milestone in the ongoing transformation of our largest city. In 1998, when the Mexican national soccer team played the United States at the Los Angeles Coliseum, the audience booed our national anthem and pelted the American team with trash as it left the field. The idea that it's impossible for Washington to control our southern border is surrender propaganda from immigration defeatists. At any one time, no more than 1,800 Border Patrol agents guard a perimeter that's 3,000 miles long. To deal with an illegal population estimated at 11 million, the INS has 300 agents charged with enforcement beyond the borders. The agency's entire annual budget ($4.8 billion) is less than a third of what the federal and state governments spent on bilingual education in 1997. For Time's editors, illegal immigration means gardeners, domestics and an opportunity to demonstrate their virtue by embracing the downtrodden at little cost to themselves. For the average American, it means higher taxes, (in some cases) job competition and the gradual loss of what many still cherish.

Kennedy or does he simply live in fear? Maybe America should turn the big guns on the borders as do the Israelies? Tell me would this be acceptable in UN? Kick them all out with the UN...with big sign we no longer take the refuse upon our shores - give us the honest people who will work hard and not end up with the lions share of our Social Security while at the same time displacing the Constitution of the United States with UN garbage?

-Caveat Lector- Israel's global military links exposed http://www.globes.co.il/serveEN/globes/docView.asp?did=497355fid=942 Dror Marom 12.06.2001 18:11 This week, the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University exposed Israel's military relations with Third World countries in its 2000-01 edition of the Middle East Military Balance. Most of the deals with these countries have remained secret until now. Arms deals with Muslim Indonesia, which has no diplomatic relations with Israel, are also revealed. The Middle East Military Balance reveals an arms deal with Cambodia, which upgraded its MiG-21s in 1997, when the country was on the verge of all-out civil war. The book does not disclose which company carried out the project, but it is known that Israel Aircraft Industries and Elbit Systems (Nasdaq: ESLTF) upgrade MiG-21s. The books also states that avionics for L-39 trainers were supplied. The Middle East Military Balance also reveals an arms deal with junta-ruled Myanmar (formerly Burma), which received Israeli air-to-air missiles, while another Israeli company upgraded the country's F-7 fighter jets (the Chinese version of the MiG-21). Rafael (Armament Development Authority) builds Israel's advanced air-to-air missiles. Israel has full diplomatic relations with Myanmar. The Middle East Military Balance also details arms deals with the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, stating that Israel supplied the Nepalese Army with Israel Military Industries-manufactured Galil assault rifles in 1997. Zambia, in central Africa, was provided with IDF combat doctrines, advisors, technicians, and foreign trainers. The Middle East Military Balance states that an Israeli company had received a contract to upgrade Zambian Air Force MiG-21s, but the project was frozen in 1999. The Middle East Military Balance states that in 2000, Israel supplied Sri Lanka with Kfir fighter jets from the IAI and Israel Air Force surplus supplies. Sri Lanka also received Saar model 4.5 missile boats and Super Hawk UAVs, as well as mine detection radar in 1997 and electronic warfare systems in 1998. Sri Lanka's need for Israeli arms was the motivation behind the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries six months ago. The east African republic of Uganda also has military relations with Israel, according to the Middle East Military Balance. An Israeli company won a contract to upgrade MiG-21s, which was later frozen. The Middle East Military Balance does not mention the project to upgrade the Uganda Air Forces Hercules C-130 transports, published in Globes, and carried out by IAI's Bedek division. Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country, which does not have diplomatic relations with Israel, has bought arms from it. The Middle East Military Balance states that Indonesia bought UAVs in 1996. Earlier reports state that Indonesia has procured IAF surplus Skyhawk fighter-bombers. Central American republic Nicaragua is also an arms customer of Israel. The Middle East Military Balance reveals that Israel sold IAI-manufactured Dabur torpedo boats to the Nicaraguan Navy in 1997. The Middle East Military Balance also details arms deals with: Argentina, which selected Israel to upgrade its planes, as well as its Head Up Displays (HUD) for pilots, and radar systems; Chile, which bought missile boats, air-to-air missiles, artillery, Barak shipborne anti-missile missiles, UAVs and tankers; Croatia, which upgraded its MiG-21s; Cyprus, which bought torpedo boats and electronic communications systems; and the Czech Republic, which bought radar for ground forces. Deals with India that appeae in the publication include the sale of advanced early-warning systems, Harpy attack UAVs, radar for Jaguar fighter jets, Rafael-manufactured Litening pods, ballistic missile detection radar, tank upgrades, ships, rifles, and fighter jets. China has bought Python 3 air-to-air missiles, radars, thermal imaging tank sights, and received training from the IDF. Singapore has upgraded its US-built F-5 fighter jets and bought Barak shipborne anti-missile missiles, air combat debriefing systems, and helicopter night vision systems. It should be noted that Israel's relations with Singapore are not acknowledged by the IMI and the Ministry of Defense.

[CTRL] Fwd: Konformist: Vatican Spy Files Released
Russ Kick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vatican Spy Files Released Monday June 4, 2001 US Army Releases Cold War Documents on Vatican Spy: Priest was Nazi War Criminal and US Secret Agent Jonathan Levy - Tom Easton Attorneys TEL. 513-528-0586 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.vaticanbankclaims.com Cincinnati, Ohio - A pending lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southwestern District of Ohio against the Army and CIA has resulted in the release of over 300 pages of Cold War documents by the Army. The documents are all from the file of a Nazi war criminal, Fr. Krunoslav Draganovic, who was responsible for the slaughter of tens of thousands of Serbs in wartime Yugoslavia. Draganovic founded the Vatican ratline or escape route that was responsible for the escape of thousands of Nazis to South America postwar including Adolph Eichman and Klaus Barbie. The lawsuit filed by attorney Jonathan Levy sought declassification and release of documents under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Levy and Tom Easton are lead counsel for plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit brought against the Vatican Bank for return of Nazi gold to Holocaust survivors and their families. According to Levy, Draganovic was the key Vatican operative who participated in the postwar laundering of Nazi gold. Draganovic worked for a number of intelligence agencies including the American Army and CIA, all were aware of his Nazi past and hatred of Serbs, but chose to disregard this in favor his equally rabid anti- communism. The newly released documents detail Army payments to Draganovic for data on a variety of Cold War matters. Some of the operations detailed included recruitment of Croatian mercenaries to help the Dominican Republic fight Castro, Army help in obtaining a US tourist visa for the war criminal to visit Cleveland and New York in 1961, purchase of the Yugoslav Army order of battle, and details on numerous other operatives in the Vatican, including a well known Irish Monsignor. Of significance to the Vatican Bank lawsuit which also names the Franciscan Order as a codefendant, was the Army assessment that Draganovic commanded the loyalty of all Franciscan priests in Yugoslavia, even exceeding the Vatican's authority. Scans of select documents are available at http://www.vaticanbankclaims.com/press.html The lawsuit, Alperin v. Vatican Bank, was originally filed in November 1999 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Levy v. Army and CIA is pending in the Southwestern District of Ohio and seeks release of additional documents. For more information contact: Jon Levy Tel.

[CTRL] Fwd: Is America's Titanic Sinking to be Replaced by Red Star Line
Another Never Ending Story - example of the book written before the Titanic was destroyed; as the story of Oklahoma a book had been written in advance even giving the name of the Patsy ordained to do the job; and, Littleton where a tape was made prior to the fact again. Nobody wants to see the torment of the people in Littleton, Colorado - what I remember most is a mother who had a daughter would would never return to her as she was, who suicided; kids being afraid because they said they were other killers at large; and, then two kids murdered in a Subway Shop and little interest shown in the crimes as being work of someone who feared exposure? Would like to read this book or manuscript this man wrote about the Murrah Building in advance; however, this and McVeigh's story never really came out - sting operations operate like that. Like the Great Titanic - latest piece of work on that one, the late movie, shows the super rich aas being overbearing while uncouth new rich sans good manners would forever be known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown. Always wondered by J.P. Morgan called his man off at the last minute before the Titanic sailed with the jewelled copy of the Rubiyait and a mummy in a golden coffin aboard; the latter was not mentioned in lists of what was in cargo because it was not considered ordinary cargo and was in custody, of the Captain. In late 1880 period Madame Helene Blavatsky also wrote a book about the Unlucky White Star line...prior to Titanic being built and this is the woman whom Truman Capote blamed for being responsible for the murder of Robert F. Kennedy - her teachings like books written before the act describing what was to happen, like the Titanic, Littleton, Oklahoma bombing and do not forget vicious propagandist Jean Dixon, the Rose of Washington Square marking JFK by divine revelation for murder, over and over while conspirators planned the murder the groundwork being laid - these all were merely acts of Premeditated Murders by Prophecy, for None Dare Call it Propaganda, influenced of course by those under control of the Assassins - using Hash for complete control? Was Timothy McVeigh in on the drug scenario? How much gold did Nichols have? Who snapped their fingers, while McVeigh went to his death believing he would be taken to a paradise for being a good little soldier? Was McVeigh still breathing after being proclaimed dead as reported by one who witnessed the execution - on Judgment Day. The two Littleton Kids said April 19 was their Judgment Day - the holoaust but the propane gas tanks failed to explode as planned and did somebody in on the scenario take them out for fear they would sober up and talk? FBI involved here too before the fact? People talked about mind control - they are subjected to it every day, and do not know it - it is called advertising, hammering away daily and the target now is the kids. Give a kid some Ritilin or other hypnotic drugs like assassins of old, and a few suggestions and evil movies and books and hammer and hammer away by repetiton surrounded by evil music - what do you expect, the making of a silk burse from sow's ear? Keys to psychology in the following ancient stories: Saba The Titanic Conspiracy By John Godowski The Titanic was a trap. It sank. The end. The Titanic was not the greatest peacetime maritime disaster. The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustlof, with more than five thousand murder victims appears to far exceed the murder tally of Titanic. (Stalin gave the order to torpedo the Wilhelm Gustlof, and her cargo of six thousand Russians fleeing his murderous purge) The disaster of the Eastland, which capsized at the dock in Chicago, took a comparable number of lives, and was certainly as tragic and significant as other equally deadly but less well known sea disasters. The Titanic has always merited headlines, and the reason for this enduring phenomenon transcends the technical details of her construction and demise, transcends the enduring poignancy of the experience of the victims and survivors, transcends even the immediate and worldwide shock at the news of the disaster: it transcends even the irrevocably changed psyche of our entire civilization and the nature our perceived position in the cosmos. The entire ideological substrate upon which we collectively base the assumptions that determine our worldview and guide the policy and strategic decisions that continue to shape our emerging global society and, at an even more pervasive individual level, influence the even the most personal attitudes that define the value system that gives rise to our every decision, perception and action, was altered no, completely ended with Titanic, and replaced with something completely and disturbingly different, something that is foundational in our understanding of the post Titanic modern world of global wars, revolutions, genocides and unsettling transition. We have just alluded to the profound nature
[CTRL] Fwd: pal's take on gore vidal on mcveigh]
Anita. Surely, Tim McVeigh could not have reaked the kind of destruction to that building in OKC with a so-called Truck bomb. As the committee who investigated the incident clearly came to the conclusion that there were, at least, 4 bombs involved and that they discovered several bombs that had not gone off. All this info has been ommitted, left out, ignored by the government in its investigation. All to the end of getting theone lone nut theory, once again, into the minds of the people. That way, they know they can continue on the status quo. So Tim McVeigh might have been in the area but I doubt seriously that a man who was involved in such an act could have been slowly rolling down a road with no license plate to be stopped by the HP to be caught on a traffic violation. Just doesn't add up. Plus the basic information on explosives that anyone can find in the library will tell you that there must have been several explosions to cause so much damage to that steel and concrete building. The seismographs show that there were at least 2 if not 3 explosions at the time of the bombing. Why did they demolish the building and not dismantle the rest to try to recover valuables and documents of importance to running good government, not to mention all the records from the Gulf War Vets Vaccinations. How is it nothing was said about the 11 ATF who called in sick and the others that were out on explosives training? And many other questions that have been asked and not answered by the authorized govt. investigation. Well, now we have the Investigative Committees findings and investigation, a 500 page report which relates a completely different story than what we have heard in the Corportate CONtrolled Media! As history has shown us since the late 1800.s when the Miners in Colorado struck against the Mining Corporations poor treatment, worse than lousy working conditions and low pay. The govt.(military) set about to disrupt the Miners organizing and used bombs to create fear in the minds of the Miners to slow up the Miners getting paid for work done at an honest scale. In every major conflict where the govt. is involved they end up using some kind of explosive device for the effect it gets. Historical pattern if you know what I mean. See LABORS UNTOLD STORY published by ELECTRICAL WORKERS UNION PRESS. One man xould not have done that or even come close to carrying out such an operation. I mean, this is just like the Warren Commission Report after President Kennedy was asassinated while riding in an open vehicle, without Secret Service, who had been mysteriouly removed from Security Detail, a slowing down of the caravan to 10 mph a diversion, at a particular symbolic site for Secret Societies, where the ritual crossfire took place. Just as the evidence proves that there were 4 shooters involved, the one who wasn't involved in the shooting gets blamed for it and then killed in cold blood by another Masonic trainee and follower. So on the day McVeigh get lethally injected the Committees Report is issued and it tells of Govt Complicity and prior knowledge. A little too little too late, I would be inclned to say. None the less, it is past clear that we have a runagade, meglomaniac and muderous govt. which will do anything to the people and whatever it may take to cover it up. I rest my case. Thanks, Tarik
[CTRL] Fwd: [RMNEWS] FRANCE IS NOW A DICTATORSHIP -- SPIRITUAL PEOPLE FACE PRISON
From Rayelan, Publisher of Rumor Mill News FRANCE IS NOW A DICTATORSHIP SPIRITUAL PEOPLE FACE PRISON The following article is about the repression of New Age and Spiritual people in France. If you think this has NOTHING to do with you because you are a Christian or a Jew or an atheist... just wait! The repression has to start somewhere. The New Age community is a good place to start because the majority of the people think New Age people are crazy, heretics, devil worshippers or satanists! When the vegetarian, incense burner get carted off to jail, who is going to complain. After all, YOU'RE not a vegetarian or one of the crazies who burns incense to chase out negativity! In Germany they came for the trade unionists, but most people didn't care because they weren't part of a trade union. Then they came for the communists. Again, most people turned away because they weren't communists. Then they came for the poets, the drug users, the activists, the musicians, the artists and the homosexuals; but the rest of the people turned away and ignored it because they despised the degeneracy of this group. When the Germans came for the Jews and the Gypsies and the priests who refused to fall in line, there was NO ONE who DARED to CARE!! Because if they CARED, they would end up in the box car with all the rest who were bound for extermination. France is the flagship of the New World Order. If WE, the people of the WORLD, allow this injustice to continue in FRANCE, then which country will be next? Germany? England? Australia? Canada? the United States? If we do NOT learn from the lessons of WWII, then we will REPEAT them on a WORLD WIDE LEVEL!! This is an important email. Send it far and wide!

Since then with a system of denunciation similar to the one used during Nazi occupation of France in WWII, thousands of French people have been investigated, and their files are ready in police and justice structures. French citizens were asked by police to denounce their neighbours and members of their own family if they would find subversive activities such as : * making new friends * receiving many phone calls * going to meetings * reading a lot of books * burning incense at home * meditate at home * changing eating habits = becoming vegetarians * stop watching TV... A law was necessary to prosecute all these people dangerous to society and considered as the new heretics. The bill has been in the progress for some time and has now become a full enforcing LAW. See below. Now the French people displaying the behavior and subversive activites listed above will face 3 years emprisonment and very heavy fines, as well as their groups dissolved as criminal activities. Again if you think that this will never happen in other countries including in the land of the free, well think again. We are not in Disneyland anymore.The days ahead will see how many patriots are left in the home of the brave.. The free Press has been eliminated in France.

The only resort now is a claim to the Conseil Constitutionnel (Constitution Council) that would prove that the law is non-constitutional, and a claim to the European humans rights organizations. Procedure rarely suceedeed in the past The About/Picard bill is now a FRENCH LAW. France has now become officially a dictatorship, censuring its citizens and controling their lives and beliefs. Since it is now a LAW it could be used - and will be - to prosecute the 172 spiritual groups listed on the black list of the Chamber, and the many thousands of French people that have been investigated since the beginning of the repression in 1995 against spiritual, free-thinking, alternative and holistic people.

[CTRL] Fwd: [RMNEWS] JOANN McGUCKIN LIVED IN FEAR OF HUSBAND'S PARANOIA
From the Rumor Mill News Forum http://www.rumormillnews.com JOANN McGUCKIN LIVED IN FEAR OF HUSBAND'S PARANOIA Posted By: RMNEWS Date: Wednesday, 13 June 2001, 1:06 a.m. IDAHO http://www.spokesmanreview.com/news-story.asp?date=060901ID=s975348 McGuckin lived in fear, ex-wife says She tells of husband's paranoia beginning as early as 1978 Thomas Clouse and Benjamin Shors - Staff writers SANDPOINT -- Michael McGuckin believed as early as 1978 that someone was tapping his phones and following him home, his ex-wife said Friday. Randy Sue Latimer, 58, told The Spokesman-Review that McGuckin became paranoid before he met his second wife, JoAnn Dunn, who authorities have characterized as mentally ill. Latimer, who divorced McGuckin in 1981 after 16 years of marriage, absolutely believes that any mental illness JoAnn may be suffering came as a result of merging with McGuckin's fears. I know JoAnn has been made out to be the villain, she said from her home in St. Paul, Minn. I don't know about (JoAnn's) paranoia, but the last year I was there, he was becoming increasingly paranoid. McGuckin, who was trained as an Army intelligence officer, never expressed any fear of the government before moving to Idaho in 1976, Latimer said. McGuckin, Latimer and their son, William, lived from 1976 to 1980 in the same one-story farmhouse that was the focus of international attention last week. Purchasing the farm fulfilled a lifetime dream for the couple. But McGuckin struggled to adjust to the rural lifestyle after a successful career as a contractor in California, Latimer said. I think somebody may be listening in, he told her during a telephone conversation in 1978. He'd say, `I thought a car followed me home today. Keep an eye out for a Chevrolet.' It did make me nervous because it was so unlike him. McGuckin, 61, died May 12 after a lengthy battle with multiple sclerosis. Three weeks later, authorities arrested JoAnn McGuckin for felony injury to a child. A deputy returned to the farmhouse to collect the children but they then loosed the family dogs on a deputy and retreated into the home. They refused to come out, sparking a five-day standoff that ended peacefully last Saturday. As McGuckin's health worsened during the last five years, the family had become increasingly withdrawn, disconnecting their phone, taking down their mailbox and avoiding neighbors. Bonner County Prosecutor Phil Robinson said Friday that investigators are compiling an inventory from a search of the McGuckin home. JoAnn McGuckin, 45, will appear Wednesday for her preliminary hearing. Authorities say she and her six children were living in a house filled with dog feces, rotting food, dead mice and garbage. McGuckin's court-appointed attorney, Bryce Powell, has said those conditions resulted, in part, from the five-day standoff. Latimer remembers a modular home with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and dining room. It was a roomy little house, Latimer said. What I cannot imagine is nine people living in that house. She moved to St. Paul in February 1980, and they were divorced in 1981. She hadn't seen him or been to the farmhouse for more 20 years, and lost contact with McGuckin. She received his obituary in the mail, but chose not to attend the May 25 funeral. I grieved for the man I loved a long time ago, Latimer said as she wept. It took me 10 or 12 years to give up that sadness. The paranoia ended a relationship with a man Latimer described as an extremely bright, very talented, handsome and lovely man. McGuckin attended a prestigious prep school in Groton, Mass., and the University of North Carolina. He met Latimer in 1962 when both lived in San Francisco. The couple married in 1965 and had one son. McGuckin left a successful business as a contractor in Marin County, Calif., to pursue a rural lifestyle near Sagle. But Latimer -- a playwright who founded the Unicorn Theatre in Sandpoint -- said her ex-husband lost his focus. He just never found his way, she said. I think he was doubting his capacity to live a productive life. The couple talked about converting the 350 acres they purchased along Garfield Bay Cut Off Road into a tree farm, meadows or perhaps a gentleman's farm. He spent his life doing jobs where the rules were clear, Latimer said. He was just lost. Latimer met JoAnn in Sandpoint where both served on the local arts council. Michael and JoAnn married in the fall of 1981. Latimer believes JoAnn eventually began to share her husband's fears as his health deteriorated. When I knew JoAnn, she seemed like a pleasant young woman -- outgoing, interested in people, Latimer said. As far as I'm concerned, it began with Michael.

Or is he... http://disc.server.com/Indices/149495.html Timothy McVeigh Executed at 7:14 Oklahoma City bomber put to death June 11th 2001! Was his last words a clue to THE MASTER MIND? By Senior Editor of 24 7 News Net The 24 7 News Wire 24 7 News Net Wire - June 11th, 2001 The media circus has begun. The big bad wolf is dead! Or is he... For years some have said Timothy McVeigh wasn't the Oklahoma City bomber! They said, McVeigh was a person TRAINED BY THE US MILITARY to take a fall for THE UNEXPLAINABLE! They said the McVeigh trial was faked with bogus information. They said the McVeigh execution would be faked. They said McVeigh was trained to take this fall, and that he was told he would be given millions of dollars and a new face and new identity. They said he would then be sent to South America. Is this the truth? Since I was told that information years ago, the following details have occurred to verify it could be the truth! A WARNING FAX that was sent by someone the government called THE MASTER MIND the day before the bombing, appeared as a key piece of evidence in the final days of this circus. I personally told Rob Nigh the attorney for McVeigh about it a couple of weeks ago, and gave him the court case number where the WARNING FAX is on file as part of a sealed US Federal court case! Rob Nigh then filed SEALED DOCUMENTS in the McVeigh case about THE WARNING FAX, which are part of a SEALED CASE in Philadelphia. The sealed case is 96CV 1499 in the Eastern District of the Pennsylvania Federal court system! After Rob Nigh made his recent SEALED FILINGS, several references then started to appear about THE MASTERMIND in the media. Rob Nigh stated to the media and in court records, that THERE WAS PROOF the US government was hiding information about OTHERS and a so called MASTER MIND! A judge also ordered that McVeigh's body not be autopsied! Which also seems to validate the FAKE EXECUTION CLAIMS that were made years ago to me! The fact that a Federal Judge ordered the execution VIDEO TAPED, only to have other judges OVER RULE the video taping in the US Supreme court. Since there is no video of the execution, the proof to prove the execution was faked, can now never be used. A the video tape of the execution was never made! McVeigh's body was also immediately cremated, so it can never be exhumed to dispute any faked execution claims! Documents analyzing the residue of the explosion that day from debris taken by explosion experts on the scene that day, verify the type of explosion McVeigh is said to have used, was not the type that caused the residue analyzed from debris that day! If a truck bomb was used as claimed, it would have left a massive crater like the ones left years later in the US embassy bombings. And now the media says THE OFFICIAL TIME OF THE DEATH was 7:14 AM central time. 7:14 is the actual birth date of the person that told me years ago in an interview I did about the bombing, that McVeigh didn't do the deed! The person that says McVeigh is a soldier that the US government trained to take a fall for THE UNEXPLAINABLE, is Sollog Immanuel Adonai-adoni. Sollog is known by only one name today, which is SOLLOG. If you check that name in a search engine, you see thousands of pages about Sollog. To his close friends, Sollog is called SOL, like the Roman Sun GOD named SOL INVICTUS! The poem chosen by McVeigh is in fact a tribute to SOL(LOG)INVICTUS! Already some in the media are reporting on the fact the word INVICTUS has been tied to some militia groups. Was the choosing of INVICTUS by McVeigh a coded tribute to SOL or Sollog? Sollog is the very same person that filed case 96CV 1499 in Philadelphia in early 1996. In that case Sollog explains HE SENT THE WARNING FAX to many in the media about the Oklahoma City bombing the day before the explosion occurred! In the lawsuit Sollog claims the US government tried to kill him after the bombing, so he is now living UNDER GROUND! Sollog says that there was an explosion in Oklahoma City on April 19th 1995. But, Sollog says the explosion was caused a tiny rock that was a fragment from a small comet or

-Caveat Lector- BBC to air show on Ariel Sharon's past On Sunday June 17th, BBC's Panorama will air a program looking at Ariel Sharon's past. Besides watching the show on TV, viewers will be able to see the show via a live stream on the BBC website. Here are the details as provided by the BBC website: The Accused Sunday 17 June 2001 http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/audiovideo/programmes/panorama/newsid_1381000/1381328.stm Nearly 20 years ago the man who is now Israel's Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, sent Lebanese militiamen into the Palestine refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla. When they left 36 hours later at least 800 people lay dead after a rampage of murder, torture and rape. The massacre provoked international outrage. In Israel itself 400,000 people took to the streets in the largest demonstration the country had ever seen. Ariel Sharon was forced to resign as Israel's defence minister. But he has maintained that he could not have foreseen the danger of a massacre in the camps. Fergal Keane investigates this claim, and talks to key witnesses and survivors of the massacre. In the light of developments in international war crimes prosecutions the programme asks whether the evidence should lead to indictments for what happened in the camps.

[CTRL] No Way Out
-Caveat Lector- 13 June 2001 B'Tselem publishes new report on the Medical Implications of Israel's Siege Policy Military officials acknowledge that they intentionally obstruct access to medical care. The IDF has procedures intended to ensure that emergency medical cases will be able to pass through the roadblocks, to process applications of residents of the areas to receive medical treatments in hospitals... From the IDF's Spokesperson's response to B'Tselem's report, Civilians Under Siege Soldier: Want to go to the hospital? No chance. No chance. B'Tselem: No chance? Soldier: Get in, turn around, and go back. B'Tselem: No chance at all? Soldier: What blabberers. Get in and turn around. B'Tselem fieldworker Hashem Abu Hassan, trying to enable Lutfiya Jaludi, 41, to cross a checkpoint to get dialysis treatment, 7 June 2001. Tape recording on file at B'Tselem B'Tselem published a report yesterday entitled, No Way Out on the detrimental affects on medical treatment of Israel's siege in the Occupied Territories. The report presents seven representative cases from the past few months, including soldiers who delayed ambulances transporting patients and an elderly woman from Jenin who was jolted about in what became a two-day trip to reach the hospital in Ramallah to undergo brain surgery. These cases, which are not uncommon, are an inevitable result of the nature of the siege and the manner in which it is implemented. According to Ynet (The Yedioth Ahronoth internet addition) in a June 12, 2001 article that covered B'Tselem's release of No Way Out, security sources said ... the IDF consciously obstructed people seeking medical attention in the West Bank. Ynet reports that senior military officials say that since the tightening of the closures in the Occupied Territories last Friday following the terrorist attack in Tel Aviv, Israel has not allowed the passing of medical teams and ambulances from the northern parts of the West Bank to the southern parts. Despite Israel's previous statements in the High Court of Justice and IDF declarations since the siege began, the sick are prevented from obtaining medical treatment - even in emergencies - both by the unstaffed roadblocks (concrete blocks and piles of dirt) and by soldiers at checkpoints. Procedures that are supposed to regulate crossing at checkpoints for persons who need medical treatment are not implemented, and, in many instances, the sick are forced to make their way along long, unpaved roads to bypass the checkpoints and reach clinics and medical centers. B'Tselem's report illustrates the consequences of the restrictions that Israel imposes in the Occupied Territories. These restrictions constitute collective punishment and directly harm the civilian population that is not involved in the violence. If urgent humanitarian cases face such serious problems on the way to hospitals, it is easy to imagine the fate of persons who only want to get to work or school. In the report's conclusions, B'Tselem urges the government of Israel to: * cease using collective punishment against Palestinian civilians; * enable free movement of the sick and of ambulances, remove the unstaffed roadblocks, and implement the procedures for passing at checkpoints; * investigate cases in which IDF soldiers delayed the movement of the sick, and prosecute those responsible.

[CTRL] IAP-Net: Zionists admit: we killed three women in cold blood (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Assalamu'alaikum, Zionists admit: we killed three women in cold blood Occupied Jerusalem: 13 June, 2001 (IAP News) - The Zionist occupation regime on Wednesday belatedly and begrudgingly admitted its occupation troops murdered three Bedouin women in Khan Younis south of Gaza five days ago, claiming the killing was a mistake. The three women were killed by a deadly shell containing flechette darts fired by an Israeli tank crew who said they were firing on terrorists. However, the Israeli state-run radio today quoted Israel's war minister Benyamin Benalizer as saying that the target the soldiers intended to destroy was more than 1500 meters away from the tent in which the three women were asleep. In a June 12 Radio Palestine interview Brig-Gen Sa'ib al-Ajiz, commander of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) National Security Forces in the Northern Gaza governorates explained how the three Palestinian women, Hikmat Malaha, a newly-wed 17 year old, her aunt Silmiyeh Malaha, 65, and Nasra Malaha, 55, were killed: The Israelis used an internationally prohibited shell, according to the Geneva Convention. They fired four shells at an area in which more than 500 Bedouin families live in tents. During the shelling, the three women were killed because a kind of ammunition called flechette. Every shell contains 5,000 arrows. The arrow hits the target up to a distance of 300 metres and a width of 98-100 metres. Any person who happens to be there will be hit . This anti-personnel shell is prohibited internationally, he stated. The incident is added to scores of cold-blooded murders perpetrated by nervous and trigger-happy Israeli occupation soldiers unworried about any accountability for their actions. The apartheid regime in Israel normally refrains from prosecuting Israeli soldiers and settlers who carry out crimes, including murder, against Palestinians. And in the few cases in which Jewish murders are prosecuted, extenuating circumstances are concocted and the defendants are usually set free after serving a symbolic prison sentence lasting for a few months or weeks. ___ Proudly Serving Palestine and Al-Quds Islamic Association for Palestine___ _ 10661 South Roberts Rd, Suite 202 |_ _| / \ | _ \ Palos Hills, IL 60465| | / _ \ | |_) | Tel: 708 974 3380| | / ___ \ | __/ Fax: 708 974 3389 |___|/_/ \_\|_| E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iap.org To subscribe to IAP-NET, send a message: subscribe IAP-NET in the body of your email to [EMAIL PROTECTED].

[CTRL] Vidal Comments
-Caveat Lector- JUST GOT THIS FROM A PAL: http://www.freekentucky.com/stryarch01/discomfort.htm McVeigh Vidal discomfit the newswhores Carl F. Worden June 11, 2001 Timothy McVeigh was put to death this morning. He was pronounced deadat 8:14 am(et) in the federal death house at Terre Haute, Indiana. Only 232 of a possible 1100 plus relatives of his Oklahoma Citybombing victims bothered to view the execution via direct link toOklahoma City. Among those who were invited by McVeigh to witness his execution in person was noted author Gore Vidal.If my instincts serve me as they usually do, Vidal will be writing his own book about Timothy McVeigh that will prove to be most unsettling to the government that just killed him. A few weeks ago I caught the end of a CNN interview between Mr. Vidal and CNN correspondent Catherine Crier. You could see Crier's skin crawling when Vidal correctly pointed out that the victims of Oklahoma City would all be alive today if the government hadn't protected the federal agents who gassed and barbecued an entire church congregation in Waco, Texas in 1993. Crier blurted something about it never being appropriate to take matters into one's own hands, and that we are not to settle such matters violently in this democracy of ours. Vidal went even further in observing that when a government has gone so far out of control that it begins murdering its own citizens and then covering it up, the citizens have no other option than armed resistance. Visibly shaken and caught completely off guard, Crier shot back something about That's not done in a democracy again, and abruptly terminated the interview as politely and expeditiously as her wits would allow. I was amused, to say the least, and I won't count on seeing Gore Vidal being interviewed on CNN again anytime soon -- if ever. But I am definitely looking forward to reading Mr. Vidal's book, which, if his interview with Catherine Crier is any indication, should be a real barn burner. Governments have always labeled terrorists as cowards, but any thinking person knows that is just not true. Those two men who stood and saluted each other as their C4-packed rubber boat exploded and nearly sank the USS Cole in the harbor at Yemen looked certain death right in the eye and didn't blink. So did Timothy McVeigh this morning, and so have all those suicide bombers harrassing the government of Israel. While we might rightly condemn an act of terror so mindless and cruel as that of McVeigh's, and grudgingly admire a successful attack on a major warship, as that in Yemen, the one thing we can all agree upon is that your average terrorist is anything but a coward. John F. Kennedy correctly warned that taking all the peaceful, legal and non-violent means to secure justice away from the people would guarantee violent resistance, and he was right: Waco, and the resultant bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City is a perfect case study. All that was needed to complete that recipe for death and destruction was a corrupt Clinton Administration and a gutless, weak and compromised Congress. The government had done a great many terrible and unjust things to individuals in the past, and the occasional bombing of an IRS office here and there was a measure of that, but no one, except our worst citizens, were prepared to emotionally absorb, accept and forgive an FBI sniper who could coolly and cruelly shoot a young mother in the face who was armed with nothing more than her ten-month-old suckling daughter. When the government protected the monsters responsible for that outrage at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and then followed up by protecting the feds responsible for gassing and immolating 19 little innocent children in that church at Waco, I knew there would be a response. There had to be a response: You can't televise that kind of government mischief to 280 million Americans, follow it up by protecting the guilty, and not expect at least one of them to do something harsh. If he was going to put his life on the line for something, I only wish McVeigh would have had the decency to target the truly guilty.

After reading it, you start looking at things you thought were just part of ordinary life, and realize that it might be a secret organization trying to infiltrate society. This is a must read for anyone interested in some background of secret societies.

It discusses a wide variety of secret societies and hierarchical organizations linked to the worldwide conspiracy and asks the question, What's the ultimate source of power behind these people and why are they so united in purpose? The book is very well written and easy to read, unlike many of this genre. The writer takes you through a history of secret societies from their early origins to present day. Always with the same thought in mind, What motivates them to hunger after world domination. Your historical perspective will be altered and your worldview will never be the same again. When he finally reveals the awesome secret of their power, you already know what to expect. This is a Spiritual battle of the most universal magnitude. Waged for the souls of mankind since the foundation of creation. Good versus evil. Darkness versus Light. As God has His disciples working to spread the message of Truth, Satan also has recruited his minions to work destruction and human misery. Rewarding them with power and wealth beyond imagination. Dr. Monteith breaks it down in no uncertain terms. Although it appears in many forms and is called by different names, the author of this madness is none other than the Price of Darkness himself! He is hidden behind every man made ritual and ceremony, lurking in the shadows, passing down the 'secrets' of his power to those seduced by his evil. Mankind is without hope except in Christ. No wonder the great Apostle Paul said, We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age. Aside from the Full Armor of God, we cannot stand a moment against such evil. Read Dr. Monteith's book and Walk toward the Light!

The Special Millennial Edition of When The World Will Be As One is to be released in October of 2000. It has been updated with 30% added material and contains over 190 graphics and photographs. We are in a time of worldwide transformation, and unless a miracle intervenes, we could experience a quantum leap more radical than when the Renaissance appeared, driving the Dark Ages out of history. A New World Order could arrive almost overnight and be unlike anything the world has ever seen, affecting every life on the planet. Yet it may not be the utopian future of universal brotherhood we are all being primed to expect by todays power players and experts. ONE WORLD uncovers the deep and often hidden forces behind the sweeping changes taking place right now. It suggests that certain critical turns in the road of history have remained unknown by the publicintentionally. In todays monopolized information gateway there are, indeed, patterns being kept from public view for the simple reason that this radical transition requires a docile and trusting publica public that is willing to accept the popular reasons America and other nations have been pushed into a national debt equal to their net worth; why the family continues to disintegrate; why male and female roles blur; and why Christianity and traditional values disappear to be replaced by another system. The financial, military, political, and spiritual arms of this powerful agenda have an interlocking purpose that gives the plan almost irresistible power. Yet it is also true that the growing Leviathan of world government cannot break through as long as America and the free world stand in its way, mindful of their former prowess and virtue. America and the Western world is fighting for its soul. Be assured that it will take your breath away when you suddenly recognize the pattern laid out in this book.

New World Order. New Age. One World. Global village. Lured by delicious visions of peace on earth, equality for all mankind, equitable distribution of wealth and ecologically sustainable development, a groundswell of opinion, of hope, has been growing for generations. We want to live in a true democracy; a world free of war, or pain, where all of life is revered as it should be. We read the glossy New Age magazines and the publications issued by the Council on Foreign Relations, and we watch the world's military going into trouble spots to co-operate in bringing peace. We participate in the new spirituality. We learn that all paths lead to God - nay, that we ourselves are gods - and we listen to channelled revelation about a coming paradise on earth when negative thought forms will have been abolished. Ever since President George Bush Senior used the term during the Gulf War in 1991, a new world order has been firmly on the international agenda. Since then, diverse organizations have worked feverishly to amalgamate the great institutions of society - politics and international relations; the military; economy; education and religion. But what, really, is behind this New World Order? And what will you, the average citizen of Planet Earth, get out of it? One World is a detailed tour of the historical, philosophical, spiritual, economic and revolutionary background to the new world order. The author presents a tightly woven and comprehensive overview of a plan, that has been operating for centuries, and which is now reaching completion. He demonstrates how the world's money supply has

Never again will you have blind confidence in any of our leaders, let alone in the UN, NATO, WTO, IMF, or other such internationalist outfits. Although the book stops in 1988, reading it (which is a quick, albeit shocking, process) will allow you to draw the proper conclusions and apply them to the present. The power elite fell out of love with Soviet Russia sometime around 1980-85, because 70 years of socialism in a heterogeneous, traditionally non-commercial country had finally brought that situation to the logical conclusion so accurately foreseen by Ludwig von Mises in 1922 (see _Socialism_ by that author). Thus the present elitist lovefest with Red China - which is Communist in name only, and is everything that Russia never was (commercially inclined, and ethnically and culturally homogeneous). As a result, the Soviet government was allowed to die a well-deserved death, but not before elitists like President George H.W. Bush actually tried to convince the captive nations of the Soviet empire (specifically Ukraine and the Baltic States) to remain loyal to the concept of union with Moscow. This he did even AFTER the collapse of the August 1991 coup, up until the very eve of the establishment of the CIS on December 8, 1991 and the final dissolution of the so-called USSR. Today the subversion process takes on a new form, with fifteen nations instead of one - one step backward, in the hopes of taking two steps forward at a later date. Very Leninistic. Now the prospective empire is the European Union, an entity with a centralizing government in Brussels, its own army (NATO), its own central bank and currency (the Euro), and its own court (The Hague) - and yet it has no constitution subordinating any of these institutions to responsible civilian rule. See a potential problem there? Reading this book helps to explain why so many former Communists - such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Jane Fonda, and Joschka Fischer - have

Veon Our Price: $9.95 Paperback - 166 pages (December 1, 1997) Hearthstone Pub; ISBN: 1575580217 ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.34 x 8.32 x 5.39 -- Editorial Reviews Book Description As a result of covering two dozen United Nations and U.N.-related conferences in the last four years, Joan Veon has come to believe that the connection between the British royal family and the United Nations is not coincidental but provides the way for America to be rejoined with Britain. She states that when the Senate ratified the United Nations Charter, America reverted back under British rule thus fulfilling the goals of Cecil Rhodes, the diamond and gold magnate, who left his fortune to achieve this very goal. What this means is that Prince Charles, as heir to the British throne, has a bigger role to play in world affairs than what people could imagine. She knows that he is a Renaissance man and a man with a mission. As a result of his behind-the-scenes role at the United Nations, Prince Charles is responsible for changing the order of life from the biblical perspective of man having dominance over the earth to one in which the earth has dominance over man. One of the major environmental philosophies which runs tantamount to this is that of sustainable development. Because of his global orchestrations, she has dubbed Charles the sustainable prince. This is a must read for all those who seek to understand the day and the hour and the powers that rule over us. About the Author Up until September 1994 Joan Veon was just a businesswoman. As a result of attending the United Nations Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, Egypt, she received her wake-up-call as she found there was more going on at the global level than most Americans knew, understood, or were being told. In her determination to understand the global level and what it really means for Americans, Joan has attended over twenty-four U.N. and U.N.-related conferences since Cairo on topics ranging... read more All Customer Reviews Avg.

This lady has done her home work. She has proven herself to be an accomplished Writer and Researcher of the United Nations and she has done a scholarly job on blowing the whistle on Charlie, Prince of Wales. Those who disagree with this statement simply have their heads stuck in the sand. The UN is quietly taking over the United States and our leaders are assisting them in the disolving of our Constitution. Who permitted the giving of our Land and Parks to the UN? Why do we suddenly find our former National Parks now named International Biospheres? Who allowed the assigning of American Armed Forces to Foreign Commanders of the UN Peace Keeping Forces? These are traitorous acts, all very unconstitutional, but the general public has absolutely no interest in, or knowledge of, these happenings and seriousness of the consequences of these acts. Consequently, when they awaken and find they are now Governed by the New World Order and that the United States Government and Constitution have been disolved, they will be fulfilli ng some Biblical prophetic phrases such as, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. The British Monarchy, unfortunately wields more power, in the UN and world wide, than can be imagined. This book will show you that Prince Charles will inherit more than the title, King of the British Empire or Commonwealth of Nations. World dominance and dominion have always been the objectives of Lucifer and his followers. I am a Born Again Christian and a former History and Government Teacher and all I can say is, Joan, you get an A+ for your efforts in writing this book.

RICHARD MORAN, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Professor of sociology and criminology at Mount Holyoke College, Moran is currently working on a book about the death penalty. He has testified at dozens of death penalty sentencing hearings. Moran said today: "McVeigh was unapologetic because, like many murderers, he viewed his killing as evening the score. The death penalty is generally not a deterrent, but in the case of a McVeigh, it's almost an encouragement; it has enhanced his status as a martyr. Most murderers believe in an eye for an eye, which is the mindset we adopt when we invoke the death penalty With the talk of the need for 'closure,' vengeance has become a legitimate goal of punishment and revenge a central focus of the debate on capital punishment. This is not just about McVeigh, or about the victims, it's about our values as a society. People were shocked when McVeigh called children he killed in the Oklahoma City bombing 'collateral damage' -- but he got that term from the Gulf War, in which he fought. We trained him to kill." DAVID BRUCK, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.capdefnet.org A lawyer for the Federal Death Penalty Resource Counsel Project, which monitors all federal death penalty cases, Bruck has specialized in capital cases since 1980. He has successfully argued against the death penalty in four cases before the United States Supreme Court. Bruck helped obtain a life sentence for Susan Smith after she was convicted of drowning her two small children. ROSE BRAZ, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.criticalresistance.org Director of Critical Resistance, a national organization opposing the expansion of the prison-industrial complex, Braz said today: "It is ironic that when you have so many people questioning the death penalty -- with innocent people who have spent years on death row being found not guilty, with revelations of inadequate legal representation, with the Republican governor of Illinois placing a moratorium on executions -- the federal government has moved to have its first execution in nearly 40 years. While states usually restrict the death penalty to murder cases, the federal death penalty is very expansive -- it can be used for drug charges and treason."

[CTRL] (Fwd) LP ACTION ITEM: Last chance for medical privacy
-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded message follows --- Date sent: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 13:08:51 -0400 (EDT) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:LP ACTION ITEM: Last chance for medical privacy From: Libertarian Party Announcements [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- == URGENT ACTION ITEM! FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY == Watergate Office Building 2600 Virginia Ave. NW, Suite 100 Washington, DC, 20037 Website: www.lp.org E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For information: (202) 333-0008 ext. 222 == June 13, 2001 == Only three days left to kill Federal anti-privacy regulation Dear Friends: We have an urgent request: Please pick up the phone and call Congress today, or the fight for medical privacy could be lost. That is because the Health and Human Services regulation that turns your medical data over to the government will go into effect permanently -- unless Congress passes HJR 38 by Friday, June 15. Please read this short memo, immediately take the action at the bottom, then forward it to others who might be interested. BACKGROUND: On April 14, President Bush quietly directed Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson to impose the so-called medical privacy regulations that were originally developed by the Clinton administration. Bush's maneuver came despite the fact that the HHS had been inundated with nearly 100,000 angry letters and e-mails from Americans around the country. The most dangerous aspect of this regulation -- and the one most overlooked in news reports -- is that for the first time the government, rather than patients and doctors, would be in complete control of your private medical records. That's because the regulation forces doctors and hospitals to share all electronic medical records with the government for a variety of vague purposes, such as to streamline medical billing procedures or for public health surveillance. Then the government, rather than individual patients, will decide who gets to see them. No wonder Americans are so worried. This regulation, which was published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2000, would: * Give dozens of government agencies and thousands of bureaucrats access to your medical records -- including the private notes of a psychotherapist -- without your consent. * Let government agencies share your records with marketing companies. The rules specifically allow pharmacies to share prescription records for the purpose of marketing health-related products and services without your consent. * Do nothing to prevent the government from accessing your DNA information and transferring it to third parties. * Permit police agencies to access medical records without a search warrant. * Allow private insurance companies to compile the medical information into a database. * Prevent patients involved in health research projects from accessing their own medical records in some cases. How would you like a prospective employer to know that you have a genetic predisposition to contract a serious, and expensive, illness? What if an acquaintance who worked for an insurance company or government agency could read the private notes of your psychotherapist, or find out if you have ever undergone drug or alcohol treatment? Would you want others to know whether you've had an abortion or been treated for an embarrassing disease? All of those things could happen if this Clinton-Bush regulation is allowed to stand. That's why it's so important to pick up the phone and call your U.S. representative today. If we can't get Congress to vote on HJR 38 by Friday, you can kiss your medical privacy goodbye! WHAT TO DO: Call your U.S. House representative immediately at 202-225-3121 or 202-224-3121 to request an immediate vote on House Joint Resolution 38 (HJR 38). This measure, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, declares that the HHS regulation shall have no force or effect. WHAT TO SAY: (1) Identify yourself and let them know you are a voter in their district. Leave your name, address, complete with ZIP code, and phone number. Please be brief, especially if you are leaving a message. (2) Ask them to tell House Speaker Dennis Hastert to schedule an immediate vote on HJR 38. Let them know that this measure must pass Congress by Friday -- or the HHS rules will remain in effect. (3) Ask them to vote *YES* on HJR 38. Then ask for a letter confirming their position. Is there anything

[CTRL] FW: Timothy McVeigh- Show Me The Money
-Caveat Lector- --- Dear Dan Herbeck, Lou Michel, The Buffalo News, My name is Robert Sterling, and I am the editor of The Konformist (konformist.com) and contributing editor to Disinformation (disinfo.com). As such, I am pretty well known in the conspiracy theory world of the Internet. I am writing to you all with what I think is a reasonable and simple request. Since you and your news publication have received much attention thanks to your claims of a confession by McVeigh on both audiotape and letter, I would actually like to see a copy of the letter itself and hear a copy of the tape. Maybe I am missing something, but though I have read your description of McVeigh's alleged last letter to you and your description of his supposed confession on tape, I haven't found either anywhere. I am perplexed why such stunning information has not been released to the public, that you have chosen instead to quote from each yourselves without releasing the original material. I am further perplexed by the fact that no major media outlets have requested this information themselves. Indeed, there should have been a bidding war for such a bonanza, and the frenzy should have peaked last week over this material. Yet there has been no bidding war that I know of, and by allowing McVeigh to be executed before the material's release, you have shown bad business judgement. Some people would look at all this, and assume the reason that the evidence hasn't been released to the public (a normal procedure) is because it doesn't exist. That would mean both of you and your organization are engaging in a fraud. The reasons for such a fraud could be either monetary compensation by creating a journalistic fraud, or, more likely, that you are on a government payroll, and your deceitful coverage is merely propaganda to hide what was really behind the Oklahoma City Bombing. (After all, most OK Bomb conspiracy theories contend that McVeigh was an unwitting patsy.) Of course, such thinking would be quack conspiracy theory. Which would be very easy for you to dismiss: all you'd have to do is release the letters and tapes with McVeigh's confessions to the public. Which, frankly, you should have done quite a long time ago. I am waiting for you to dismiss these outrageous charges.

Re: [CTRL] Did you know these fact about Israel? (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- So did we teach the Israelis or are they teaching us, and from where did these people learn these tactics? Well they sound to me more like Nazis/Fascists than born again Jews over there; however, I will never forget Prince Turki Faisal telling us (3 other at the table) that the domestic jews and arab moslems (the true semites) wanted to live in peace, and the Zionists would not let them. Admire the Israelis for not heeding to demands of the United Nations; however, one begins to see that the United Nations is worthless, is just another albatross on our back - and I do not believe the Israelis would hand over their guns without a fight. About time we took them off the welfare system, and does anybody think peace with come to Holy Land soon - after all it has been going on for how long - 2,000 years? Who will pay with their life in the end? Well, I am old fashioned and if they are using lost boundaries as markers in surveying lands legally, who gets what and to what biblical portion of this holy land are they entitled? Think I could go back to Ireland and Scotland or even England and claim my heirtage? Now I have a pedigree that goes to Charlemagne and as such, I could claim title to a Countess according to ancient laws..and many other titles for I can prove my pedigree. I assure you I would be a threat to the present Prince Phillip, for wanting to come back as a deadly virus and solve over population problem? Why this threat of over population and yet England brining in emmigrants daily as USA does - why? Why to keep the country under the right controls - bunch of communist bastards who slaughtered how many Christians - 12 million was it and over nearly 50 million over the years? Slaughtered the Czar and Czarinaa in vicious vendetta wiping out nearly entire line - but as they say, one always gets away. Think Ireland, home of the Great Fitzgerald and Irish Earls and Geraldine League will give a hoot in hell if someone wipes England off the map of the earth? Did any of the Royal Families get any of that poisoned blood Clinton shpped to Canada which went around the world containing AIDS and HIV - a Care Package from a pig whose blood is already contaminated - bet he donated some too. Bet he took the money too for his blood trail now leaves footsteps around the world. Now USA will get 18,000 blacks from Africa - did not see them taking in any of the white farmers who were slaughtered along with their loyal employees - but we will get more refuse from their shores and they MUST HAVE AIDS.this was cooked up no doubt when the UN Secretary sponsored by the communist regime went to Cuba to confer with CASTRO? Some wonder why I am so concerned about my children and grandchildren being white - and being exposed to so many dreadful diseases by people who still live in darkness - if we cut off aid to Israel, maybe they could wipe out AIDS in Africa? Feed the Children - and above all, order assassins in like the Israelies to get that bastard Mugabe before he does any more damaage. Close the ports - and unloose the watergates - as jean Dixon said, America will be cleansed by fire and filth and garbage must be removed - had chance to ask her once why she meant by filth and garbage..no response, so I sent her a White Rose with a little note Congratulations, Mrs. Dixon - Who you marking for murder today Saba A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2001
-Caveat Lector- Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2001 Search for Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2001 at http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.html. 107th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 31 To protect the right to obtain firearms for security, and to use firearms in defense of self, family, or home, and to provide for the enforcement of such right. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 3, 2001 Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland (for himself, Mr. STEARNS, Mr. BRADY of Texas, Mr. HALL of Texas, Mr. SCHAFFER, Mr. HILLEARY, Mr. CALLAHAN, Mr. HAYWORTH, Mrs. EMERSON, Mr. NETHERCUTT, Mr. BARCIA, Mr. STUMP, and Mr. SIMPSON) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary A BILL To protect the right to obtain firearms for security, and to use firearms in defense of self, family, or home, and to provide for the enforcement of such right. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the `Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2001'. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. The Congress finds the following: (1) Police cannot protect, and are not legally liable for failing to protect, individual citizens, as evidenced by the following: (A) The courts have consistently ruled that the police do not have an obligation to protect individuals, only the public in general. For example, in Warren v. District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. App. 1981), the court stated: `[C]ourts have without exception concluded that when a municipality or other governmental entity undertakes to furnish police services, it assumes a duty only to the public at large and not to individual members of the community.'. (B) Former Florida Attorney General Jim Smith told Florida legislators that police responded to only 200,000 of 700,000 calls for help to Dade County authorities. (C) The United States Department of Justice found that, in 1989, there were 168,881 crimes of violence for which police had not responded within 1 hour. (D) Currently, there are about 150,000 police officers on duty at any one time. (2) Citizens frequently must use firearms to defend themselves, as evidenced by the following: (A) Every year, more than 2,400,000 people in the United States use a gun to defend themselves against criminals--or more than 6,500 people a day. This means that, each year, firearms are used 60 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. (B) Of the 2,400,000 self-defense cases, more than 192,000 are by women defending themselves against sexual abuse. (C) Of the 2,400,000 times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, 92 percent merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8 percent of the time, does a citizen kill or wound his or her attacker. (3) Law-abiding citizens, seeking only to provide for their families' defense, are routinely prosecuted for brandishing or using a firearm in self- defense. For example: (A) In 1986, Don Bennett of Oak Park, Illinois, was shot at by 2 men who had just stolen $1,200 in cash and jewelry from his suburban Chicago service station. The police arrested Bennett for violating Oak Park's handgun ban. The police never caught the actual criminals. (B) Ronald Biggs, a resident of Goldsboro, North Carolina, was arrested for shooting an intruder in 1990. Four men broke into Biggs' residence one night, ransacked the home and then assaulted him with a baseball bat. When Biggs attempted to escape through the back door, the group chased him and Biggs turned and shot one of the assailants in the stomach. Biggs was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon--a felony. His assailants were charged with misdemeanors. (C) Don Campbell of Port Huron, Michigan, was arrested, jailed, and criminally charged after he shot a criminal assailant in 1991. The thief had broken into Campbell's store and attacked him. The prosecutor plea-bargained with the assailant and planned to use him to testify against Campbell for felonious use of a firearm. Only after intense community pressure did the prosecutor finally drop the charges. (4) The courts have granted immunity from prosecution to police officers who use firearms in the line of duty.

[CTRL] Fw: Corporate Largesse-2nd source showing whom corps back
-Caveat Lector- This is the second recent post showing big business, including the evil OIL COMPANIES contribute far more to Democratic/Liberal campaigns than that of conservatives, Republican/Libertarian. Yet many ALWAYS contend they support the opposite. Remember the recent chart of Oil money only~~I, for one, was shocked that it goes mostly to liberals for that is NOT what I have been told to believe. This is yet another example of corporation's allegiance to PROFIT only. No matter what the issues are, if it is in their PROFIT and FISCAL interest, that is who and what they will back. Environmentalists = oil profits ergo their support. Follow the money, indeed! ~Amelia~ Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 12:14 AM Subject: Corporate Largesse Corporate Largesse Favors Leftist Causes Lawrence Morahan, CNSNews.com Wednesday, June 13, 2001 American business corporations are continuing a trend of giving almost five times as much money in philanthropic contributions to groups seeking bigger government than to those seeking less regulation, a recent study found. For every $1 that major corporations gave to conservative groups in philanthropic contributions in 1997 - the last year for which comprehensive data on corporate giving are available - they gave $4.66 to organizations seeking more government, the study said. This is up slightly from the previous year, when the ratio was 4.61 corporate dollars to the nonprofit Left for every dollar to center or conservative groups, according to Patterns of Corporate Philanthropy: A Mandate for Reform, published by the nonprofit Capital Research Center. In fact, corporate funding to big-government organizations is at a near all-time high, said Christopher Yablonski, the study's author. The study examined corporate giving by the 250 largest publicly held companies to more than 500 public affairs organizations. It also ranked companies according to the size of their grant and the ideology of the recipient organizations. The 10 worst corporate misgivers for 1997, according to the study, were: PNC Bank, Sara Lee, May Department Stores, Target Stores, Freddie Mac, Honeywell (acquired by Allied Signal), Schering-Plough, Georgia Pacific, Merrill Lynch and Aetna. The 10 best corporate givers in 1997 were: CIGNA, Chrysler, American International Group, Weyerhaeuser, Exxon Mobil, Texaco, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pharmacia, Proctor Gamble, and Rockwell International. CRC also reported many companies are reluctant to provide details of their giving. Last year 150 of the 250 companies we surveyed failed to respond to written requests for giving data, Yablonski said. When we telephoned, 70 companies declined to participate and many others failed to return messages. A mere 57 companies vol untarily provided information for the study, and only 30 provided all data we requested. We relied primarily on IRS data that is publicly available, he said. As the economy grew in the mid- to late 1990s, foundations grew also, and giving increased, particularly to human service organizations, education, health and religion, analysts said. Corporate philanthropy is good not only for the community but also for the company's public image. But corporate donors tend to be liberals who are likely to cave to the pressures of political correctness, said James Glassman, a commentator with American Enterprise Institute, who praised the CRC study. The people making these decisions on giving out foundation money in large corporations tend to be liberals who gravitate toward these kinds of jobs, he said. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and if people on my side don't complain about it, then nothing's going to be done. I think over time you will see a shift in giving, but at this point it requires exposure and pressure, he said. Yablonski said conservative groups should point out to corporate donors that conservatives have their best interests at heart, and if companies are funding groups such as American Civil Liberties Union, they should be persuaded to put more money into groups that are looking out for a free market. In the short term, companies might see a reason to fund a liberal group, but in the long term it's going to come back and bite them, he said.

-Caveat Lector- FAST TRACK ACTION ALERT GET YOUR EMAIL AND PHONE ALERT SYSTEM IN ORDER PASS THIS ALERT ON TO OTHERS Hello everyone: If you are concerned about trade agreements: eliminating jobs in the U.S., wiping out small farmers world wide, the proliferation of sweatshops, the fate of human rights, the future of immigrant rights (and why people are forced to leave their countries to look for work), the destruction of the environment, etc., etc., please pay attention to FAST TRACK. This is the method by which the proponents of Free Trade i.e. corporate managed trade, avoid a public debate on the expansion of NAFTA to the Western Hemisphere under the FTAA. If Congress delegates their legislative authority to the President, his unelected corporate trade advisors and others who write the trade bills, in particular, the FTAA, then the people's voice as expressed through OUR DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES is stilled. IF FAST TRACK passes there will be no open, vigorous, public debate and no public and political scrutiny of the FTAA and other trade agreements. This is a completely undemocratic. PLEASE READ BELOW. Tomorrow the Fast Track legislation will be introduced. The GOP leadership in the House is introducing language on Fast Track at a press conference tomorrow at 2:00 PM. The main sponsor of the bill is Rep. Crane (IL-R-8th), Chair of Ways Means, and other Members who have signed a Dear Colleague that is being circulated include: Reps. Hastert, DeLay, Thomas, Armey, Watts, Dreier and Kolbe. While we don't know too much about the language, at this point. It is likely that it will not allow for future trade agreements to include efforts to improve labor and environmental standards. This would pretty much eliminate most of the Democratic free-traders who would have been eager to support some kind of alternative, and it is unclear whether the GOPs think that they have the votes to pass the bill as a partisan measure. We all need to be on stand-by-alert, and be ready to crank up the telephone calls to Congress and the House of Representatives, if it looks like they will try to schedule this bill for a quick vote. Ruth Caplan and I will keep you posted about what happens tomorrow. We will need to develop a Stop Fast Track strategy very soon.

[CTRL] How Yassir and the boys destroyed the Israeli peace movement.
-Caveat Lector- Like it or not, there are two sides to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Here is yet another example of how the Palestinians keep shooting themselves in the head by choosing and backing the worst possible leadership at the most crucial points in their history. Some people never learn. You don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Joshua2 Special Dispatch June 13, 2001 No. 229 Peace Now Leader: 'I Feel People Think I'm an Idiot' In an interview last week with the Jerusalem weekly Iton Yerushalaym, Professor Amiram Goldblum - an associate of Peace Now's National Secretariat and the Head of the movement's Settlement-Watch Team - discussed the disillusionment of Israel's peace camp, supported unilateral separation, called for the annexation of 50% of the settlers, and opposed the Palestinian 'right of return'. Following are excerpts from the interview:(1) In a full-page ad in the June 1, 2001 addition of Ha'aretz newspaper, the Peace Now movement called on the Israeli public to join them for a protest in Jerusalem calling for a settlement freeze and ceasefire. That protest never took place. Professor Amiram Goldblum explains, Immediately following the suicide bombing at the Tel Aviv disco club [which killed 20 Israelis and wounded over a hundred], hundreds of people called and said they felt it would be too difficult to protest. This is bad timing [they said], no one would listen to us, everyone is mourning. Q: But it seems that particularly now there is a need for voices calling for ceasefire. A: One of the things we have learned throughout years of experience is [the importance of] paying attention to the street and taking its needs under consideration... Q: How many people were you expecting at the protest? A: Around a thousand people. Q: During the Lebanon war you gathered 400 thousand protestors. A: The truth is that there weren't really 400 thousand protestors there. But true, there were a few hundreds of thousands of us. Now we have to start from scratch... Q: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi? [Latin: this is how the world's glory passes?] A: We are trying to become capable of sweeping a large camp [behind us] when the time is right and when the camp is ready. We cannot make things just happen out of thin air. Indeed thin air [the interviewer interjects]. The peace process is at a dead end; the largest extra-parliamentary peace movement is parked at the side of the road on its rims. Goldblum himself attests to the feelings of bewilderment when I asked him whether the name 'Peace Now' is not a little out of touch with our reality, or even with our dreams for that matter. The name is very problematic Goldblum says. Today I would not choose the same name for the movement, but we can't change it now. I find this name extremely difficult and it is even a source of embarrassment for me. I can't even put the movement's sticker on my car. I even have a problem with our one add campaign which I used to think was the best we ever had: 'Peace is preferable than the whole land of Israel.' Today it is impossible to talk about peace the same way we used to in the past. This is very clear; to me it is very clear. Q: What is the difficulty? A: You observe the hatred on the Arab side and you observe the hatred on our side towards them. [You can tell that] their hatred is much worse then ours. During a recent Peace Now meeting, I discussed the benefits of a unilateral separation, and one who objected to my thesis said that I nourish [an Israeli] Apartheid and intensify the hatred. An Arab member of Peace Now responded to that man: 'follow me to the West Bank and witness for yourself what is going on there, see for yourself how much you Israelis are hated there. Q: In times past, when the movement was effective, and thus also dangerous for your political rivals, people used to throw stones and shatter your windows with the Peace Now sticker displayed on them. Does any one bother even picking up a stone today [at the sight of a Peace Now sticker]? A: I feel that people look [at the Peace Now sticker] and say: 'what an idiot is driving this car'... Q: During the peace talks with Egypt, and later during the Lebanon war and especially following Sabra and Shatila, you influenced, and at times even set, the national agenda despite the fact that the Left was in the opposition. A: Today we are unable to set the agenda. But look at how much has happened since the time when we where established and called for negotiations with the PLO. Q: I do see what happened: we made a full circle only to come back to the starting point, only that now the hope is shattered or dismantled at best. A: It is very shattered; there is no doubt about it. Unlike his friends who cheered the Oslo agreement, Goldblum thought it was an unworkable agreement, and even today he disagrees with Peace Now's official guidelines regarding a preferable agreement.

[CTRL] The strategic balance in the Middle East
-Caveat Lector- Jaffee Center: The Strategic Balance - A Barrier to Regional War 11.6.2001 The strategic balance in the Middle East is clearly tipped in Israel's favor, thus preventing the violence with the Palestinians from escalating to a regional confrontation. This conclusion rests on the data and analysis provided in the annual Middle East Military Balance 2000-2001, published today by the Tel Aviv University's Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies. This year's volume was written by the Center's director, Prof. Shai Feldman, and by Yiftah Shapir, a research associate at the Center. Presenting this year's volume, Prof. Feldman emphasized that from Israel's standpoint, no significant changes occurred during the past year in either the conventional or the unconventional realms. In these areas, Israel's deterrent power remained robust, serving as a barrier against escalation to a regional war. Prof. Feldman noted that in the eyes of the Arab states, the strategic gap favoring Israel continues to widen. This is especially the case in the areas of technologies that are critical to the efficient employment of military forces in the battlefield. Paramount among these is air power, intelligence systems - including space-based intelligence assets - and the defense against ballistic missiles. In contrast to the IDF, all Arab armies lag in the implementation of the Revolution in Military Affairs - the realms of command, control, and intelligence that allow the successful execution of ground, naval and air operations. According to Prof. Feldman, the continuing Palestinian violence presents Israel with a strategic challenge of the highest order. Yet the difficulties entailed in addressing this challenge do not erode Israel's over-all strategic advantage. This edge results from Israel's superior conventional forces, the Arab states' assessment that Israel possesses nuclear weapons, the close defense ties between Israel and the United States, and the absence of a substitute to the assistance that the Soviet Union provided some of the Arab states during the Cold War. Given this distribution of power, the interest of most Arab states is to maintain stability and to avoid becoming embroiled in a general war against Israel. Prof. Feldman added: During the past year, no new contracts were signed for the purchase of arms that might allow the Arab states to change the military balance. Moreover, the Arab states also failed to achieve a breakthrough in the unconventional realm: despite the deterioration of the monitoring and verification regime applied against Iraq in the aftermath of the Gulf War, Sadam Hussein failed to rebuild the facilities for the production of chemical and nuclear weapons. And in Iran, the Shihab-3 - a missile intended to have a range allowing it to be launched against Israel - is yet to become operational. Yet Prof. Feldman does not dismiss the danger of regional escalation. Errors in assessment that may lead Syria to permit Hizbollah to continue operating against Israeli targets, thus propelling a chain reaction that can result in a general war between Syria and Israel. To date, the Syrian leaders' appreciation of the balance of power induced them to limit Hizbollah activities to a very narrow sector - the Har Dov - Shaba Farms area. But there is no guarantee that the Syrians would always exercise such caution. Prof. Feldman added that in the future, Israel is likely to face more serious strategic challenges. The long-term implications of the collapse of the international sanctions and monitoring regime applied against Iraq are considerable. Under these circumstances, it would be far easier for Iraq to produce nuclear and chemical weapons as well as ballistic missiles. Equally worrisome are the prospects that Iran would be able to develop an infrastructure for a military nuclear program and would succeed in making the 1300-km range Shihab-3 ballistic missile operational.

Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com Robalini's Note: In one of the more blatant examples of the dishonest cynicism surrounding the policies of president Bush, the Shrub administration has turned down a request by California to waive exemption of the use of ethanol in gas for a more clean burn. This despite the fact that if a shortage of corn crops occurs (not to mention that there may not be enough to meet the huge California market), it could disastrously jack up gasoline prices. This is once again proof of his lie over concern for lost jobs in explaining his administration's reactionary energy and environmental policies. The facts speak for themselves: none of his moves surrounding energy policy have benefited any but huge corporations. http://www.latimes.com Monday, June 11, 2001 Gas Additive Rule Won't Be Waived Pollution: EPA official says California will not get exemption. Residents likely to pay at pump. By RICHARD SIMON, DAN MORAIN, Times Staff Writers WASHINGTON--The Bush administration plans to deny California's request for exemption from a federal gas rule that state officials say would increase already-rising prices at the pumps, an Environmental Protection Agency official said Sunday night. The decision, expected this week, would require the state to use a fuel additive, most likely ethanol, to help gasoline burn more cleanly. That could cost California drivers as much as $450 million a year, said Roger Salazar, a spokesman for Gov. Gray Davis. It also could trigger fuel shortages. The decision is likely to increase the friction between Davis and the White House, already at odds over electricity price controls. It also would complicate Davis' efforts to phase out the gas additive MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), which has polluted ground water. The decision, for which the EPA official offered no explanation, comes after heavy lobbying by corn growers and farm state lawmakers who regard California as a huge new market for ethanol and, on the other side, by oil companies and California's congressional delegation, which supported the waiver. The oil companies contend they can make gas that can meet anti-pollution standards without having to use ethanol. If, in fact, the Bush administration has turned down the request for a waiver, it is again showing a blind eye for California's problems, said Howard Gantman, a spokesman for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). The state urgently needs the waiver. MTBE pollutes the ground water, and there is not enough ethanol available without a price increase at the pump. The Clean Air Act requires that gas sold in the nation's smoggiest regions contain an oxygenate that makes it burn more cleanly. The requirement applies to 70% of the gas sold in California. Refiners have generally used MTBE, but Davis has ordered it to be phased out by Dec. 31, 2002, because it has contaminated ground water throughout the state. The only practical alternative to MTBE is ethanol. The debate is expected to continue in Congress, where Feinstein is sponsoring a bill that would allow any state to get a waiver from the requirement if the state could demonstrate that it could meet the clean air standards without the additive. Davis, in a conference call with reporters Sunday, said he had no comment until he is formally notified of the decision by the EPA. But Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.), who joined Davis in the conference call, said he was concerned about it. Lieberman, who with the Democratic takeover of the Senate became chairman of the Governmental Affairs Committee, is planning hearings later this month on California's energy crisis. President Bush, during a visit to Iowa on Friday, expressed support for ethanol, produced in Midwest states with the help of federal subsidies. I still strongly believe that ethanol is important, not only to reduce dependency on foreign sources of energy but secondly as a way to clean the air, he said. The decision was hailed by corn growers and ethanol makers, as experts say California's huge gas market would need about 580

[CTRL] Priest: McVeigh sought forgiveness
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Priest: McVeigh sought forgiveness Tuesday, 12 June 2001 21:49 (ET) Priest: McVeigh sought forgiveness TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 12 (UPI) -- The Roman Catholic priest who visited Oklahoma bomber Timothy J. McVeigh in prison said Tuesday that 33-year-old sought forgiveness for his sins by asking for the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, hours before he was executed. You can interpret that as a desire to stand before God as his (McVeigh's) earthly life was ending, the priest told United Press International. Totally honest, in all his goodness and in all his sinfulness, and humbly asking God through Jesus Christ's life and death and resurrection to ask God to forgive his sinfulness and pardon it, to save him and lead him to eternal life. The Rev. Ron Ashmore of St. Margaret Mary Church, of Terre Haute, Ind., whose parish is located five minutes from the U.S. Penitentiary where McVeigh had been on death row, said he visited the Pendleton, N.Y., native for more than a year. He was asked to do outreach for the Catholic inmates when there was no prison chaplain and he often went there twice a week. Later, a full-time Catholic staff chaplain, the Rev. Frank Roof, was hired but Ashmore said he kept in touch with some of the inmates including McVeigh. Tim asked to have the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick or Dying, if facing imminent death, at around 4 or 5 in the morning, Ashmore said. Ashmore said he was not there but that he was curious and found out what happened by speaking with McVeigh's attorney and the chaplain. This is what happened: the warden asked Tim's attorney whether Tim wanted 'the last anointing of his church?' and that the staff chaplain was available, Ashmore said. The attorney then asked Tim and he said 'I do.' The warden was amenable to having the execution by lethal injection delayed to accommodate the Last Rites, but it was not necessary. Tim was intelligent and he knows his faith and he knew what he was asking for, Ashmore said. While he probably didn't practice his faith publicly since high school he knows his faith-he's absolutely in heaven. Ashmore explained that the prison chaplain and McVeigh did not simply meet before his execution but that as a Catholic McVeigh requested the last anointing and that he had to request it. As a Catholic, he requested the last anointing-he knew what he was asking to do-to stand before God, seek his pardon and forgiveness and to fill him with God's grace and lead him to life eternal and feel God's love, Ashmore said. Ashmore, who described McVeigh as a good man who did an evil thing, was trying to make amends with everyone and that his attorney Robert Nigh helped him think through what he did-it's a process that takes time. Tim made himself right with God, and he did so even before the final anointing, Ashmore said. But that's an ongoing process and we Catholics believe it's takes a lifetime, and Nigh said he could not successfully help Tim express words of reconciliation in an honest way. According to Ashmore, Catholics are against the death penalty because it doesn't allow a person the time to continue that process-it takes time -- a lifetime and Roman Catholics believe it's inappropriate to stop that process. Tim was in that process and I know that Tim was sensitive to the deaths and pain of all those people and it was a true expression of his heart and he tried to say that in his letters to The Buffalo News, Ashmore explained. But the government chose to cut that process short under the title of justice. I am sorry these people had to lose their lives, McVeigh wrote in a series of letters to The Buffalo News, his hometown newspaper, that were published Sunday. But, that's the nature of the beast. It's understood going in what the human toll will be but that it was a legit tactic in a war. McVeigh, a decorated Army veteran returned from the Persian Gulf War to a hero's welcome but broken and drained after he had seen death and caused it according to family members. Unable to find work in western New York, he traveled to 40 states selling arms at gun shows, drifting and agitated about the federal government. He said his bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, that left 168 dead, was done in defense of Americans' rights to personal freedom and a reaction to the federal government's actions at Waco, Texas, and Ruby Ridge, Idaho. If there would not have been a Waco, I would have put down roots somewhere and not been so unsettled with the fact that my government was a threat to me, McVeigh said. Everything that Waco implies was on the forefront of my thoughts. That sort of guided my path for the next couple of years, Waco made me decide that you can't lay down roots because you're not even safe in your own room anymore. He was the first American

[CTRL] A-word shocks U.N. delegates
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! A-word shocks U.N. delegates Canadian rep ignites firestorm after offering abortion language -- -- Editor's note: WND contributing reporter Mary Jo Anderson is at the United Nations this week covering the meetings of national delegates in preparation for the United Nations World Summit for Children to be held September 19-21. By Mary Jo Anderson © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com NEW YORK â Delegates from 180 nations sat mute and stunned at the response given when Terry Miller of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations asked for a clarification of the word services in language offered by Canada, setting off an international controversy over the A-word. The phrase proposed for a draft document to be presented at the September United Nations World Summit for Children was, full gender equality and equal access to services, such as education, nutrition, health care, including sexual and reproductive health care. ⦠During the late-night session, negotiations had tightened as deliberations moved toward paragraph 21 of the draft document, where problematical phrases would need careful review. The Canadian delegate took the floor and replied with exasperation, The distinguished delegate of the United States knows that, of course â and I hate to use the word â but in 'services' is included abortion. Pandemonium and shock followed. The A-word has never been explicitly defined as included in services in any prior U.N. conference documents, such as the Beijing Platform for Action. In that case, said Miller, brackets must go around that word. Brackets mark the text for later negotiations. Miller continued, Now that we have had the explicit definition of services as including abortion, I would be amazed if my delegation is the only delegation to object to the use of 'services.' Pro-family delegations were adamant that if services meant abortion, they could not accept such language. The delegate from Chile, who serves as a spokesman for the 10-nation Rio Group, was clear: In my country, abortion is illegal. We by no means support abortion in the use of 'services' and so we delete 'services.' Msgr. Reinert of the Holy See delegation was emphatic: My delegation â and personally, I am shocked â we will have to re-examine the entire document for the word 'service' if it means abortion. Every time the U.N. uses 'services,' if it means basic social services that is acceptable, but not including abortion. Bahrain supported the Holy See. The delegate from Canada responded, It seems that I've ignited a firestorm. ⦠But I am quite surprised it provoked a storm. It doesn't mean that different delegations cannot use different interpretations. ⦠we will not feel constrained if they want to define 'services' as basic social services. During the 1990s, several United Nations conferences have sought to make abortion a universal right. Pro-family non-governmental organizations and pro-family nations have fought close battles to keep abortion a matter reserved to individual nations and not codified in international covenants and legal instruments. Each successive conference has become a testy battleground between nations with liberal abortion laws, such as Sweden and Norway, and the nations where abortion is not legal. Pro-family policy planners have viewed with alarm the World Summit for Children document as it has progressed through several drafts. They see the trend toward granting children 0-18 years old more autonomy as an unhealthy trend that divides parents and children. The right for minors to seek an abortion without parental knowledge or consent is just one of the many contentious issues under discussion at the U.N. this week. Many delegates observe that, moral issues aside, the question of abortion has now become an issue of sovereignty. Each nation ought to be respected for its culture and historical as well as religious traditions, remarked a delegate from Mexico. The Mexican delegation under Vincente Fox is split over abortion issues but is expected to confirm the pro-life position. Sudan, also serving as a spokesman for a group of nations, was tenacious in its refusal to be cowed by what is known as the northern nations, a reference to the northern European nations that have liberal abortion and euthanasia policies. Pro-family organizations and delegations had been put on guard earlier in the afternoon when Sweden sought to insert into the document the phrase, the family in its various forms, a euphemism understood by analysts as a bid for official recognition of homosexual liaisons. Sudan, Egypt, Malawi and the Holy See, among others, rejected this text. Today's negotiations will tackle another troublesome clause in paragraph 33 of the draft document, where adolescent health care is also enumerated. The U.S. delegation is to

-Caveat Lector- He was never a Repuplican anyway, I wish Trent Lott would go with him! At least we'd know who's side is who's side! - Bill WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! R.I. Senator Chafee Considers Defecting From GOP AP Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I. Wednesday, June 13, 2001 Email this Article Another U.S. senator may follow Vermont's Jim Jeffords out of the Republican Party â but only if the GOP regains the majority. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., told Fox News he would defect if some issues that I feel strongly about are not addressed. After Senate Republicans held their weekly closed-door lunch, Chafee said he is worried that the issues Jeffords raised when he left the GOP are being minimized. He also said the Republicans are becoming more combative now that they are in the minority, and that he wants the party to change right away. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, was quick to point out that the GOP has been in the minority for only a week so it's a bit early to make snap judgments. Like Jeffords, Chafee said he's very troubled that Republicans, in his opinion, are moving more to the right. He said he wants the party to be more tolerant and less conservative on abortion, education and the environment. Jeffords left the Republican Party last month and became an independent, a switch that ended GOP control of the Senate. The move gave Democrats control of the Senate, 50-49-1, for the first time since they lost it in the 1994 elections. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Who's tracking you? Government, businesses, just about everyone -- -- Editor's note: This is the second of a three-part serialization of Michael S. Hyatt's blockbuster new exposé, Invasion of Privacy: How to Protect Yourself in the Digital Age. Look for part 3 tomorrow. © 2001 Regnery Publishing You are being tracked by just about anyone who thinks he can sell to you, steal from you or control you. This includes government agencies and big businesses; banks, credit reporting agencies and other financial information resellers; insurance companies, pharmacies and other health-related organizations; political and extremist groups; local retail outlets and marketers; employers and fellow employees; spouses, ex-spouses and potential spouses; lawyers and private investigators; and even common criminals, hackers and practical jokers. This is not merely an Internet problem. It is true that technological progress in data storage and data transfer has made it possible for others to monitor you more easily and to gather your personal information more speedily. It is also true that communication over the Internet has brought about new ways in which you can be scrutinized. These problems are real. Nevertheless, the issue is not the Internet per se. Even if you don't use a computer, your activity is still being tracked, and your identity is vulnerable to those who wish to learn about you for whatever reason. In 1989, long before the Internet was a reality, a stalker was able to find and kill My Sister Sam sitcom star Rebecca Schaeffer by using motor-vehicle registration records in California. Advances in technology are only making the problem worse. We are being tracked with increasing efficiency. We are being tracked more affordably. And we are being tracked more uniformly as various institutions share information with one another. Many different groups offer rationales for why we need to expect all our personal information to be available to whoever wants it. The two main legitimate proponents of the panopticon are business interests and various government agencies. But professional criminals also benefit from this situation. Here's an overview: Within the law: The corporate perspective Businesses obviously want to gain new customers and keep the customers they have. To do this, they need information. It is the fuel that drives modern industry. The more information a business has about a prospect or a customer, the more likely it can meet that customer's needs or shape its promotions to appeal to those needs. The information about a customer is called a profile. It contains both demographic and psychographic data â not only who the person is but also what he does and why he does it. As a business collects more and more data about its customers, it soon discovers that such data are an asset that can be sold on the open market. Businesses now routinely sell customer profiles to anyone who will pay for them. This has become a big problem in some industries, such as financial services. As a result of deregulation, one company can offer a full range of financial services: banking, insurance, investment brokerage and direct marketing. Thus, the lure of one-stop shopping allows a single company to know a customer 's entire financial situation. This information can be, and sometimes is, used to exploit the customer. For example, U.S. Bancorp in Minnesota sold the personal account information of its customers to a telemarketing company for over $4 million plus a 22 percent commission on whatever sales were generated from the database. As the Minnesota attorney general's office reported: [U.S.Bancorp] provided MemberWorks Inc. with the following information for its customers: name, address, telephone numbers of the primary and secondary customer, gender, marital status, homeownership status, occupation, checking account number, credit card number, Social Security number, birth date, account open date, average account balance, account frequency information, credit limit, credit insurance status, year-to-date finance charges, automated transactions authorized, credit card type and brand, number of credit cards, cash advance amount, behavior score, bankruptcy score, date of last payment, amount of last payment, date of last statement, and statement balance. Above the law: The government's perspective In our society, government is responsible for punishing criminals, protecting citizens and preventing crimes â and for any number of other services. The government has used this as a rationale for all sorts of information gathering and surveillance. We are constantly being tracked by Big Brother through a variety of means â birth certificates, tax forms, motor vehicle registration, marriage certificates, voter registration, property

Look for fresh updates each afternoon, Monday through Friday. In addition, WorldNetDaily invites you to consider STRATFOR membership, entitling you to a wealth of international intelligence reports usually available only to top executives, scholars, academic institutions and press agencies. © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com South Korea is facing nationwide strikes, debt troubles and drought so severe that President Kim Dae Jung has called on the military to help farmers and civilians. Kim's falling popularity has left him unable to push through needed economic reforms, and his continued efforts at inter-Korean reconciliation could further damage him politically and hurt the economy. Amid a regional economic slowdown, South Korea is facing its worst drought in a century. Compounding problems for Seoul, nationwide strikes in the transportation, medical and manufacturing sectors began June 12, and more than a quarter of all outstanding corporate bonds will come due between July and December. The myriad of problems Seoul faces would each alone cause concern, but coming all at the same time, they make a coordinated government response both more important and more difficult. President Kim Dae Jung, facing flagging domestic popularity, has little mandate to press through painful economic reforms, particularly amid growing challenges from the opposition and within his own ruling party as next year's elections approach. In an attempt to revive his power, Kim continues to focus on inter-Korean relations â a risky strategy because it has contributed to his falling popularity. His efforts may ultimately seal his status as an ineffective, lame-duck president as he fails to alleviate South Korea's economic woes and leads the country into the kind of economic situation Japan now faces. South Korea is in the midst of its worst drought since records began being kept in 1904. It has affected agriculture, water-intensive industries and the general population. Prices of food staples like cabbage and radish have doubled and even tripled in some areas over the past month, according to South Korean media reports. Water for rice cultivation is being supplied by the military, government and industry. The crisis has reached such a level that Seoul has called for a full-dress mobilization of the entire military â the first since its founding â to assist farmers and civilians, according to the Korea Times. The Associated Press reported June 12 that 130,000 troops were dispatched to 90 hard-hit regions. They were armed with drilling machines, trucks, excavators and pumping motors to dig wells or draw water from reservoirs. ''It's like pouring water into a bottomless pot,'' said Warrant Officer Oh Kwang-Jei, supervising 60 soldiers watering a parched rice paddy. ''But we will make this land wet again and fit to raise the rice.'' While the government is dealing with the water shortages, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) began a series of nationwide strikes June 12. The KCTU announced that 55,000 members are demonstrating to criticize the government's hard-line tactics against strikers, to demand a 12.7 percent wage hike and to call for an end to the government corporate-reform process. Those striking include unions in both of Korea's major airlines, hospital workers and the Federation of Korean Chemical Workers. The airline strike alone is expected to cost $20.3 million a day, according to the Ministry of Transportation and Construction. The government has declared the general strike illegal, and while Kim has demonstrated in the past his resolve to crack down on strikes, it was a recent police intervention at a strike in Ulsan that in part triggered the current KCTU action. Down with President Kim Dae Jung's government, chanted about 3,000 workers as they marched in central Seoul June 12, Reuters reported. The government should stop corporate restructuring, which takes away jobs from us. There were no clashes between the marchers and riot police. We will become a loser overnight in global competition if we stop restructuring, Kim said in a statement after a Cabinet meeting, warning that the government would deal sternly with the illegal walkout and any violence. If we cannot restore social order, foreign investors will stop investing in Korea and domestic firms will leave for China and Southeast Asia, he said. Meanwhile, the broader process of economic restructuring and recovery is presenting additional challenges. The Ministry of Finance and

Geostrategy-Direct is a subscription-based service produced by the publishers of WorldTribune.com, a free news service frequently linked by the editors of WorldNetDaily. © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com Another U.S. ally in the Middle East wants to develop military relations with China. This time it's Turkey. The government in Ankara is improving a range of ties with Beijing, and this includes the launching of defense cooperation. Turkey wants to explore joint defense projects and arms purchases with China. Other prospects include joint exercises and training. All of these areas were discussed last week during a 10-day visit by Turkish Chief of Staff Gen. Huseyin Kivrikoglu. Kivrikoglu brought up with his Chinese hosts the prospect of purchasing unmanned air vehicles from Beijing. Officials said the Turkish commander invited China to bid in Ankara's UAV project. Turkey wants to buy nine such systems, and the Chinese CATIC has been requested to join the competition. Last year, the U.S. pressured Israel to give up much of its defense cooperation with China. The Bush administration is not expected to do the same with Turkey. First, the White House badly needs Turkey for the new U.S. policy of smart sanctions against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. More important, Turkey's relationship with Beijing is largely that of a consumer of Chinese defense systems. Israel was supplying advanced technology that was bolstering the Chinese regime. Iran, Russia have problems in sealing arms deal Iranian and Russian leaders have visited each other so many times and gushed so many warm words that you'd think they would finally agree on the huge weapons deal they have been discussing for years. Not exactly. Beyond the rhetoric, Moscow and Teheran can't agree on the estimated multi-billion dollar defense deal. Iran wants the best of Russia's aircraft, radar and anti-aircraft systems. A key request on the Iranian wish list is the advanced S-300V, the latest in air defense and which can also be used for missile defense. But Russia is taking its time for two reasons. The first is U.S. pressure on Moscow. The Bush administration has been under heavy pressure by Turkey and Gulf Arab states to stop the Russian S-300 sale to Teheran. Gulf officials have warned that the system would dash all of the plans by the Gulf Cooperation Council to establish regional defense. A second reason relates squarely to Iran. Russia doesn't want to rupture relations with Washington and end up getting stiffed by Teheran. Intelligence sources said Moscow still has not obtained the terms of repayment that it wants from Iran. This would mean years of waiting for Iran to pay its debt â something that has hampered Russia's construction of the Bushehr nuclear reactor project. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] Quick Strike Forces Urged for Military
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Quick Strike Forces Urged for Military Pentagon Study Gives Multiservice Units 30 Days to Control Outbreak of Trouble Retired Gen. James P. McCarthy explains recommendations on conventional forces, one of more than a dozen studies on transforming the military. (Ron Edmonds - AP) By Roberto Suro Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, June 13, 2001; Page A01 The Bush administration hopes to organize new multiservice strike forces that could be used to undertake aggressive military actions around the world and move to trouble spots within 24 hours, under a wide-ranging proposal unveiled yesterday to transform the armed services. While relying on long-range missiles and aircraft for critical firepower, the plan also envisions the extensive deployment of combat troops overseas so they can be ready for fast attacks on hostile territory. In a departure from current practice, separate forces and specialized headquarters units would handle humanitarian missions, such as refugee emergencies. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has commissioned more than a dozen major studies aimed at scrutinizing various components of the nation's armed services and strategy toward war. The transformation plan presented at the Pentagon yesterday was the first element of that review made public in detail. Other parts of the review, but not all of it, will be made public in subsequent briefings, officials said. Implementing the transformation plan would require changes in several major weapons programs, speeding up deployment of the sometimes controversial Joint Strike Fighter while shelving plans for a new aircraft carrier and a new destroyer, for example. Moreover, the study suggests a major shift in military planning. Relatively limited operations, such as the 1999 Kosovo bombing campaign, would get priority over preparation for all-out conflicts such as the 1991 Persian Gulf War, which has been the guiding principle for decades. President Bush has outlined a defense strategy in broad terms that faults past policies for continuing to emphasize the weapons and tactics of the Cold War era and not adapting to new circumstances that require more flexible, rapidly deployable forces. The transformation plan proposes changing the military's core capabilities so that the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines can work together more effectively, and respond quicker to overseas crises. No budget estimates were included with the proposal. It was designed to guide Rumsfeld's thinking as he prepares a proposal for increased military spending in the 2002 budget, due to be presented to Congress within weeks. The more extensive, long-term plans will shape the 2003 defense budget due next winter. To move quickly when a crisis erupts, key combat units from all the armed services would be organized into Global Joint Response Forces capable of setting up operations in a hostile environment within 24 hours, according to the proposal presented by retired Air Force Gen. James P. McCarthy, who headed Rumsfeld's review panel on the transformation of conventional forces. These units would be designed to gain control of a trouble spot within four days and bring a conflict to a decisive resolution within 30 days. In humanitarian emergencies, military units would start handing over operations to civilian contractors and nongovernmental organizations after 30 days, McCarthy said. The emphasis on overseas deployments, military interventions and the use of troops on humanitarian missions runs counter to some of Bush's campaign rhetoric last year, which criticized the Clinton administration for overextending the armed forces with missions not critical to national security. The transformation study, which was conducted by the Institute for Defense Analysis, a federally funded research center, only addressed the military's capabilities and not the policies that dictate its use. The new strike forces would serve a U.S. strategic need, McCarthy said, a greatly enhanced capability to act decisively before the facts on the ground become more difficult to change. In addition, organizing these multiservice units would mark the first phase of the eventual transformation of the rest of the military into a force that is at once more agile, more lethal and smaller, said McCarthy, a professor of national security studies at the Air Force Academy. Rather than emerging from a radical redesign of the military, McCarthy said, the strike forces would be formed out of existing units. We are not talking about a new force, he said. It is how to organize and exercise and train the existing forces and what capabilities to give them. Nonetheless, the proposal rates many weapons systems under development in terms of how much they contribute to the goal of transformation. The Joint Strike Fighter, which is expected to enter service in 2008, should be accelerated by two or

-Caveat Lector- From The Environmental News Network, http://www.enn.com/direct/display-release.asp?id=4593 - U.S. Unprepared for Large-Scale Bioterrorist Attack, says UGA Toxicology Expert From University of Georgia Wednesday, June 13, 2001 ATHENS, GA - Aware but not ready is how Cham Dallas, Director of the Interdisciplinary Program in Toxicology at the University of Georgia and Civilian National Consultant to the Surgeon General for Weapons of Mass Destruction described U.S. preparedness for a large scale biological, chemical or nuclear terrorist attack. The public is not very well informed about the consequences of nuclear, chemical or biological war, says Dallas. but the government is aware of the danger and is beginning to vigorously prepare for it. Although the U.S. expects a disaster, Dallas says the local and federal authorities needed to respond would not be prepared if the death toll in one city reached into the thousands overnight as a result of a terrorist attack. Dallas, along with a team of scientists and military experts from the Medical College of Georgia and other academic institutions, the military, the Department of Justice, and the Public Health Service, have a $9.5 million dollar proposal before Congress to develop a Center for Leadership in Education and Applied Research in Mass Destruction Defense. The Center will simulate real-life, large-scale disasters to train doctors, nurses, pharmacists, veterinary specialists, toxicologists, information specialists and others what to do in case of a disaster. We know there are terrorist groups and even individuals with the capability to do a lot of damage in the U.S., said Dallas. We need to be prepared to deal with mass casualties and other consequences of a major attack. Professionals must be ready to respond to a disaster of this magnitude. It has happened elsewhere in the world. To help prepare for a large-scale nuclear accident or attack, Dallas has been studying the long-term effects of radioactive fallout at Chernobyl over the last decade. He and fellow researchers regularly work at the site of the world's largest and most widespread radionuclide release in history and have found surprising results. A distinct lack of toxicological effects has been shown in animals gathered within the 30 kilometer exclusion zone despite the fact that they registered the highest levels of radioactivity ever published among free-living organisms, said Dallas. He attributes the high radioactivity level in the animals simply because they did not leave like the humans did. We have found some alterations in the DNA and oxidative stress enzymes in some animal species and thyroid cancer in humans increased several thousand percent, but there are no three-headed babies or Godzilla monsters. The birthrate in the area has decreased, but it is not due to radiation. It's due to fear. Dallas believes it is necessary to learn as much as possible from large-scale disasters like Chernobyl. The increasing likelihood of the use of a terrorist nuclear, chemical or biological weapon, he says, means that it is really not a question of if, but when it is going to happen in America and will we be prepared? ### For more information, contact: Kimberly Osborne National Media Coordinator University of Georgia 706-583-0913 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://uga.edu/news === Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer*[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends === A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] NYDN: Clinton Dines With Bizman In Fraud Case
-Caveat Lector- http://www.nydailynews.com/2001-06-13/News_and_Views/City_Beat/a-114754.as p Clinton Dines With Bizman In Fraud Case By RALPH R. ORTEGA Daily News Staff Writer Former President Bill Clinton rubbed elbows with a man wanted on fraud charges in India during a posh fund-raiser held at a ritzy Wall St. hotel last night. Clinton denied knowing anything about the charges against Sant Singh Chatwal, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in India, where authorities have charged him with bilking a state-run bank out of $9 million he borrowed in 1994. I don't know anything about that, the former President told the Daily News while surrounded by adoring supporters at the American Indian Foundation's fashion show fund-raiser in the Regent Hotel. The event raised money for victims of a deadly Gujarat, India, earthquake. Chatwal accompanied Clinton on an earthquake relief tour of India in April, during which Indian newspapers reported that authorities were seeking him. He also escorted Clinton and daughter Chelsea on a state visit to India in March 2000. Until last night, Clinton and his wife had consistently declined to comment on Chatwal. Chatwal, operator of the Bombay Palace restaurants and the Hampshire Hotels chain, was one of the biggest soft-money contributors to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign last fall. He has been linked to at least $210,000 in contributions. He declined to comment on the charges made against him in December by India's Central Bureau of Investigation, its equivalent of the FBI. He also did not want to discuss his financial dealings with the Clintons. Bill Clinton and Chatwal sat at different tables during the fund-raiser, which raked in almost $2 million to help in relief for quake victims. However, the former President was seated with Chatwal's son, Vikram, a foundation trustee. The organization is mostly made up of Indian-American businessmen. The elder Chatwal was accused of fleeing to Vienna in April after Bill Clinton's tour. Authorities said they tried but failed to detain him at Bombay's Sahar International Airport. Chatwal later returned to New York, wanting to set the record straight, a spokesman said at the time. But the restaurateur has yet to address the allegations against him. He is saddled with titanic debts that include back taxes and loans owed to failed banks in the U.S., along with a forced bankruptcy in 1995. Clinton, warmly received by about 750 people attending $1,000-a-plate event, joked he was not running for office, but he thanked those who supported his wife's Senate campaign. A lot of you helped my wife become a New York senator, he said to a thunderous roar from the audience. I'm grateful for that. === Kadosh, Kadosh,, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer*[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends === A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Mr. Paul made over $2 million in direct and in kind campaign contributions to the Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign to finance the Hollywood Tribute to Bill Clinton - which served as a fundraiser for then First Lady Hillary Clinton. Importantly, Mr. Paul can document with actual checks the contributions to Hillary Clinton's campaign as well as personal thank you notes from Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. In addition, video and photos exist depicting the closeness of Mr. Paul and the Clintons and underscoring the Clintons' deep thanks for Mr. Paul's generosity, among other matters. Witnesses to this latest Clinton scandal include a number of Hollywood stars, including but not limited to Barbra Streisand, Brad Pitt, John Travolta, Cher and others. In addition, former Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell and Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe are implicated. With regard to Rendell, he played a role in Mr. Paul's request for a Presidential pardon for two prior convictions, with Rendell asking for an additional $150,000. Mr. Paul made the over $2 million in contributions to Mrs. Clinton as part of a $17 million deal to induce Bill Clinton to work with his business ventures after he left The White House. Judicial Watch and Mr. Paul have been cooperating with U.S. Attorney's Offices in the Eastern District of New York, Southern District of New York, District of New Jersey and Central District of California. Last Friday, a sealed indictment was issued concerning Mr. Paul, who was alleged to have engaged in improper securities transactions. Mr. Paul has offered his full cooperation to the Justice Department in bringing the Clintons to justice, stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. Mr. Paul currently resides in Brazil and most recently was interviewed by ABC News on camera for an upcoming 20/20 piece. He has also been cooperating with The New York Times and looks forward to the truth coming out to the American people, stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. http://www.judicialwatch.org/unsubscribe.asp. === Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer*[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends === A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] HUMOR~ THE SCARLET OPPRESSOR
-Caveat Lector- Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 2:03 AM Subject: [THE SCARLET OPPRESSOR There once was a young person named Little Red Riding Hood who lived on the edge of a large forest full of endangered owls and rare plants that would probably provide a cure for cancer if only someone took the time to study them. Red Riding Hood lived with a nurture-giver whom she sometimes referred to as Mother, although she didn't mean to imply by this term that she would have thought less of the person if a close biological link did not, in fact, exist. Nor did she intend to denigrate the equal value of nontraditional households, and she was sorry if this was the impression conveyed. One day her mother asked her to take a basket of organically grown fruit and mineral water to her grandmother's house. But Mother, won't this be stealing work from the unionized people who have struggled for years to earn the right to carry all packages between various people in the woods? Red Riding Hood's mother assured her that she had called the union boss and gotten a special compassionate mission exemption form. But, Mother, aren't you oppressing me by ordering me to do this? Red Riding Hood's mother pointed out that it was impossible for women to oppress each other, since all women were equally oppressed until all women were free. But, Mother, then shouldn't you have my brother carry the basket, since he's an oppressor, and should learn what it's like to be oppressed? And Red Riding Hood's mother explained that her brother was attending a special rally for animal rights, and besides, this wasn't stereotypical women's work, but an empowering deed that would help engender a feeling of community. But won't I be oppressing Grandma, by implying that she's sick and hence unable to independently further her own selfhood? But Red Riding Hood's mother explained that her grandmother wasn't actually sick or incapacitated or mentally handicapped in any way, although that was not to imply that any of these conditions were inferior to what some people called health. Thus Red Riding Hood felt that she could get behind the idea of delivering the basket to her grandmother, and so she set off. Many people believed that the forest was a foreboding and dangerous place, but Red Riding Hood knew that this was an irrational fear based on cultural paradigms instilled by a patriarchal society that regarded the natural world as an exploitable resource, and hence believed that natural predators were, in fact, intolerable competitors. Other people avoided the woods for fear of thieves and deviants, but Red Riding Hood felt that, in a truly classless society, all marginalized peoples would be able to come out of the woods and be accepted as valid lifestyle role models. On her way to Grandma's house, Red Riding Hood passed a woodchopper, and wandered off the path in order to examine some flowers. She was startled to find herself standing before a wolf, who asked her what was in her basket. Red Riding Hood's teacher had warned her never to talk to strangers, but she was confident in taking control of her own budding sexuality, and chose to dialog with the wolf. She replied, I am taking my grandmother some healthful snacks in a gesture of solidarity. The wolf said, You know, my dear, it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone. Red Riding Hood said, I find your sexist remark offensive in the extreme, but I will ignore it because of your traditional status as an outcast from society, the stress of which has caused you to develop an alternative and yet entirely valid worldview. Now, if you'll excuse me, I would prefer to be on my way. Red Riding Hood returned to the main path, and proceeded toward her grandmother's house. But because his status outside society had freed him from slavish adherence to linear, Western-style thought, the Wolf knew of a quicker route to Grandma's house. He burst into the house and ate Grandma, a course of action affirmative of his nature as a predator. Then, unhampered by rigid, traditionalist gender-role notions, he put on Grandma's nightclothes, crawled under the bedclothes, and awaited developments. Red Riding Hood entered the cottage and said, Grandma, I have brought you some cruelty-free snacks to salute you in your role of wise and nurturing matriarch. The wolf said softly, Come closer, child, so that I might see you. Red Riding Hood said, Goodness! Grandma, what big eyes you have! You forget that I am optically challenged. And Grandma, what an enormous - er - what a fine nose you have. Naturally, I could have had it fixed to help my acting career, but I didn't give in to such societal pressures, my child. And Grandma, what very big, sharp teeth you have! The wolf could not take any more of these specialist slurs, and, in a reaction appropriate to his accustomed milieu, he leaped out of bed, grabbed Little Red Riding Hood, and opened his jaws so wide that she could see her
[CTRL] Fw: Enumerated Powers Act
-Caveat Lector- Enumerated Powers Act picks up steam Would require Congress to cite constitutional authority for every bill -- -- By Julie Foster © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com Next month, a House Judiciary subcommittee is expected to consider a simple measure in Congress that would require all legislation to include a constitutional citation of authority. Sponsored by Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz., the one-paragraph proposal's operative sentence states, Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. Called the Enumerated Powers Act, this is the measure's fourth introduction into Congress. H.R. 175, this year's version of the proposal, currently has 26 cosponsors. [Is you Representative a cosponsor?] Shadegg said he introduced the measure to continue the fight against a federal government that is too big and is involved in too many areas which are beyond its constitutional authority. The federal government can no longer ignore the 10th Amendment and run roughshod over the rights and authority the Constitution preserves to the states and to the people respectively. When the founding fathers wrote the Constitution in 1789, they created a national government with far-reaching, but limited, powers, the congressman explained. The prevailing belief at that time was that a national government should be given specific powers, rather than general legislative power. Forcing the Congress to identify the constitutional authority for its actions, before it passes new laws, is an excellent way to determine where we should and should not be going forward. The simple requirement, established by H.R. 175, will encourage reflection and debate to determine whether or not legislation falls within the power of the states or the people, rather than the federal government, Shadegg concluded. Julie Foster is a staff reporter for WorldNetDaily. -- IF YOU BELIEVE AS I DO, THEN WRITE TO CONGRESS AND DEMAND THAT THEY SIGN ON AS A COSPONSOR OF THIS MUCH NEEDED LEGISLATION.

[CTRL] False Memories Easily Created
http://unisci.com/stories/20012/0613011.htm False Memories Easily Created, Researchers Discover About one-third of the people who were exposed to a fake print ad describing a visit to Disneyland and how they met and shook hands with Bugs Bunny said later they remembered or knew the event happened to them. The scenario described in the ad never occurred because Bugs Bunny is a Warner Bros. cartoon character and wouldn't be featured in any Walt Disney Co. property, according to University of Washington memory researchers Jacquie Pickrell and Elizabeth Loftus. Pickrell will make two presentations on the topic at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Society (APS) on Sunday (June 17) in Toronto and at a satellite session of the Society for Applied Research in Memory and Cognition in Kingston, Ontario, on Wednesday. "The frightening thing about this study is that it suggests how easily a false memory can be created," said Pickrell, UW psychology doctoral student. "It's not only people who go to a therapist who might implant a false memory or those who witness an accident and whose memory can be distorted who can have a false memory. Memory is very vulnerable and malleable. People are not always aware of the choices they make. This study shows the power of subtle association changes on memory." The research is a follow-up to an unpublished study by Loftus, a UW psychology professor who is being honored by the APS this week with its William James Fellow Award for psychological research; Kathryn Braun, a visiting scholar at the Harvard Business School; and Rhiannon Ellis, a former UW undergraduate who is now a doctoral student at the University of Pittsburgh. In the original study, 16 percent of the people exposed to a Disneyland ad featuring Bugs Bunny later thought they had really seen and met the cartoon rabbit. In the new research, Pickrell and Loftus divided 120 subjects into four groups. The subjects were told they were going to evaluate advertising copy, fill out several questionnaires and answer questions about a trip to Disneyland. * The first group read a generic Disneyland ad that mentioned no cartoon characters. * The second group read the same copy and was exposed to a 4-foot-tall cardboard figure of Bugs Bunny that was casually placed in the interview room. No mention was made of Bugs Bunny. * The third, or Bugs group, read the fake Disneyland ad featuring Bugs Bunny. * The fourth, or double exposure group, read the fake ad and also saw the cardboard rabbit. This time, 30 percent of the people in the Bugs group later said they remembered or knew they had met Bugs Bunny when they visited Disneyland and 40 percent of the people in the double exposure group reported the same thing. "'Remember' means the people actually recall meeting and shaking hands with Bugs," explained Pickrell. "'Knowing' is they have no real memory, but are sure that it happened, just as they have no memory of having their umbilical cord being cut when they were born but know it happened. "Creating a false memory is a process. Someone saying, 'I know it could have happened,' is taking the first step of actually creating a memory. If you clearly believe you walked up to Bugs Bunny, you have a memory." In addition, Pickrell said there is the issue of the consequence of false memories, or the ripple effects. People in the experiment who were exposed to the false advertising were more likely to relate Bugs Bunny to other things at Disneyland not suggested in the ad, such as seeing Bugs and Mickey Mouse together or seeing Bugs in the Main Street Electrical Parade. "We are interested in how people create their autobiographical references, or memory. Through this process they might be altering their own memories," Pickrell said. "Nostalgic advertising works in a similar manner. "Hallmark, McDonald's and Disney have very effective nostalgic advertising that can change people's buying habits. You may not have had a great experience the last time you visited Disneyland or McDonald's, but the ads may inadvertently be creating the impression that they had a wonderful time and leaving viewers with that memory. If ads can get people to believe they had an experience they never had, that is pretty powerful. "The bottom line of our study is that the phony ad is making the difference. Just casually reading a Bugs Bunny cartoon or some other incidental exposure doesn't mean you believe you met Bugs. "The ad does."
[CTRL] Bush Uses Police/Secret Service To Suppress Political Ideas
http://www.tampatrib.com/News/MGAMJK95WNC.html Jun 12, 2001 What security issue did they mean? MAURICIO ROSAS President George W. Bush was in Tampa on June 4 for a public appearance at the New York Yankees' Legends Field. Some friends and I were excited about the opportunity to see ``Dubya.'' We had tickets to be directly in front of his podium and we had our letter-size signs ready to show when he came on stage. When I arrived at the stadium, the rest of the group had not arrived. So I walked across the pedestrian bridge to meet them. It was very hot and there was little shade, so I stood under a small palm tree and waited for my friends. I waited quietly on the opposite side of the stadium grounds near the entrance of the pedestrian bridge. While I waited, a Tampa police officer said I couldn't stand there holding my sign. I explained I was merely waiting for some friends. He said I was on private property, and it was illegal for me to wait there with those signs. At first I just stood there and ignored him. Again he confronted me. He said that I could not stand there and that I could not bring those posters into the stadium. I told him it was a public rally and he could not regulate my speech or my message. Irritated and angry, the officer left. Meanwhile, a young mother and child arrived and joined me under the shade. I gave her a ticket to see the president. As I moved among the groups, I distributed extra entry tickets. Finally, my friends arrived and we went onto the pedestrian bridge. As we moved swiftly through the pedestrian overpass, some guy in a blue suit started to run behind us, yelling, ``You can't take those posters in there!'' Yet when we walked through the metal detectors, our bags were searched, our signs were in plain view and we were allowed in without incident. When we entered the stadium, we could see around us that this was an orchestrated political event that was manipulated and controlled by the president and his staff. We could see Secret Service agents, Bush operatives and police handing out pro-Bush signs. In some instances they were replacing dissenting signs with pro-Bush signs. The president cannot use the police or Secret Service to suppress political ideas. Once we arrived at our spot in front of the podium, we saw other people holding up signs, so my friend, Suni, began showing her sign that read ``Investigate Florida Votergate.'' Then I took out my ``June is Gay Pride Month'' sign and began holding it high above my head for everyone to see. It was then that Bush operatives, Secret Service and police began demanding that we put away the signs. In particular, they wanted me to lose my gay-pride sign. The Secret Service, police and other Bush operatives tried to forcibly rip the sign out of my hands. They hollered, ``Lose the `gay' sign and you can stay.'' Some people hollered, ``This is not a gay rally!'' ``You don't belong here!'' yelled a group wearing Idlewild Baptist Church shirts. Some man even took a lunge at me. The police, Secret Service and the people around were demanding I take down my ``gay'' sign. They were also demanding that my friends put down their ``Boo'' and ``Investigate Florida Electiongate!'' signs. They were hired to hand out pro-Bush flyers. When I was asked to exchange my sign, I said, ``No!'' They demanded I drop the ``gay'' sign. I was asked if I would prefer to be arrested rather than to get rid of the sign. They kept trying to tear it away from me. I then fell to the ground. They said again, ``If you give up the sign, you can stay!'' I said, ``If you intend to take my sign, then you will have to carry me out.'' I asked, ``Why?'' They said the signs are a security issue! We told them our signs went through the official check-in point. I had a letter-size piece of paper that had on it ``June is Gay Pride Month'' in bold letters. What type of security issue does the word ``gay'' have? What harm did I pose to the president? I was holding up a sign that expressed my views. While we were in view of the podium, Bush's operatives called one another on their walkie-talkies to bring more pro-Bush signs to the podium area. These same operatives allowed the crowd around us to become unruly, offensive and violent. Simultaneously, several other officers and operatives were trying to rip the sign from my hands. His operatives used the occasion to demonstrate how they handle dissent. They arrested us, we were dragged out and the mob cheered. This was a rally for the intolerant.
[CTRL] Connections Between Hilter's Nazis Brit Royals
http://www.davidicke.com/icke/index1c.html FASCINATING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HITLER'S NAZIS AND THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY By James Bartley David, Congratulations on your new book! A local bookstore which specializes in "non-conformist" literature has already sold out Children of the Matrix. They had to put in another order because the demand is so great. I just wanted to give my two cents worth as far as the Duke of Windsor's connection to the Third Reich is concerned. It is a truly tangled web but in a nutshell here is what happened. Edward was originally the Prince of Wales and was the heir apparent to the British Throne. I can't remember Edward's EXACT quote but the following is an approximation thats very close to the original; "Every drop of blood that courses through my veins is German!" Prince Edward made no secret of his pro-nazi sympathies and this as you know, was quite an embarrassment to first the Chamberlain Goverment and then the Churchill Government. Prince Edward wanted to marry the american Wallis Simpson but was refused permission by the Royal Family so he decided to abdicate and changed his title to the Duke of Windsor and despite the opposition of the Royal Family, bestowed the title of The Duchess of Windsor to his erstwhile bride, the former Miss Simpson.. MI5 had already intercepted correspondence between the Duke of Windsor and his germanic cousins, the Prince of Hesse and the Prince of Coburg Saxe-Gotha which was prima facie evidence of his intended betrayal of Great Britain. The Duchess of Windsor meanwhile was in contact with Hitler's foreign minister Ribbentrop, a fact that was likewise known by MI5. Hitler made no secret of his admiration for British (as exposed to merely "English) Institutions and the British Royal Family and Empire. After all, prior to World War I, the Queen of England routinely referred to Kaiser Wilhelm as "Cousin Willie" in their correspondence. Sir Stewart Menzies, the legendary "C" or Chief of SIS aka MI6 reminded his old classmates who were in the German military or aristocracy to adhere to a certain code of conduct because they were after all, "OLD ETONIANS" like Menzies. The "Old Boy Network" in action again. So the links with the Third Reich were well established never mind the interlocking industrial cartels and financial houses. To complicate matters, The Duke of Windsor was commissioned as a General in the British Army so not only was his correspondence to his germanic cousins Treasonous from the standpoint of the British Government but doubly treasonous because he was an officer of high rank. Winston Churchill reminded him that not only was the Duke of Windsor a member fo the Royal Family but also a General in the British Army and needed to stop all of his questionable behaviour. The Duke and the Duchess of Windsor fled to Lisbon Portugal where they renewed acquaintances with their Nazi contacts. The Duke and Duchess were already being groomed by Hitler and his cronies as the Pretenders to the British Throne should Germany ever succeed in invading and conquering England, an idea that was also in consonance with the views of the Duke himself. It is unclear where the idea originated but It was decided by Heinrich Himmler that an attempt should be made to kidnap the Duke and Duchess of Windsor whilst the latter were in Lisbon Portugal and bring them back to Germany. This onerous task was given to Himmler's protege, SS Brigadefuhrer Walter Schellenberg. Schellenberg was the chief of the Sicherheitsdients or SD which was the Foreign Intelligence Internal Security Service of the Nazi Party. This plan came to nothing because MI6 got wind of the scheme and POISONED Schellenberg. To his dying day a few years after the war Schellenberg insisted he was poisoned by the British Secret Service. Indeed Schellenberg attributed his impending untimely death to being poisoned. Because of his rank as a General, the Duke of Windsor was ORDERED to go to the Bahamas where he would be given the rank of governor general of the Islands and in theory, out of sight and out of mind and supposedly less troublesome. Nevertheless he still maintained links with Nazi agents as governor general, a fact that was known to both MI5 and MI6. Shortly thereafter there followed the mysterious flight of Rudolf Hess, the Deputy Fuhrer of the Third Reich and the number two man behind Adolf Hitler in the Nazi Regime, to Scotland. Upon safely parachuting into Scotland, Hess insisted on a meeting with the Duke of Hamilton who lived nearby and who was also regarded by some as being a Nazi sympathizer. Hamilton alerted the permanent undersecretary of the Foreign Office Alexander Cadogan who in turn advised Sir Stewart Menzies, the "C" of MI6. The detainment and interrogation of Rudolf Hess was conducted by two of Menzies officers, both of whom were senior members of Section V of MI6 which dealt with counterespionage. This was a curiousity since Hess landed in Scotland.
[CTRL] Even The Disabled Can Serve Their Country
http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,2103593%255E1702,00.html Disabled used in Nuke tests: report From AAP and news.com.au staff 11jun01 14:55 (AEST) BRITAIN used physically and mentally handicapped people as guinea pigs during nuclear tests in Australia in the 1950s, according to allegations reported in a UK newspaper today. It is claimed the handicapped people were never seen again after the tests, and probably died after being present during nuclear explosions at Maralinga, The Independent said. The newspaper recalled that similar allegations had been investigated and rejected in 1985 by an Australian royal commission. But, it said, it had now learned of a pilot who claimed to have taken the handicapped people out of Britain. He reportedly told his story to Australian academic Robert Jackson, who is director of the Centre for Disability Research and Development at Edith Cowan University in Perth. Dr Jackson told the newspaper he gave a presentation to 300 staff in the late 1980s, during which he mentioned the allegations about radiation experiments. The Independent reports that afterwards one staff member told him: "That was true. I was one of the pilots, and we didn't fly them out again." Dr Jackson told the newspaper: "I was quite convinced." He is reportedly trying to trace the man, who left the centre several years ago. Several Australian soldiers based at Maralinga had said that two groups of seriously handicapped people had been taken to a test area shortly before one of the 12 nuclear blasts carried out by Britain, the paper said. The British government said in the European Court of Human Rights in 1997 that no humans had ever been used in experiments in nuclear weapons trials.
[CTRL] Fwd: [GATA] Gold Ready For A Boom Led By Japan: Jipangu
Gold Ready For A Boom Led By Japan: Jipangu By Jim Hawe Dow Jones Newswires June 13, 2001 TOKYO -- Tamisuke Matsufuji has developed a knack for making outlandish predictions that have a way of coming true. The president of the gold mining and investment firm Jipangu Inc. and author of numerous bestsellers on contrarian investing, has forecast everything from the collapse of Japanese real estate and stock prices to the failure of Yamaichi Securities. But recently his crystal ball has taken on a decidedly golden hue. According to Matsufuji, 46, gold prices are now sitting on a powder keg -- and he is expecting Japan to light the fuse. The price of gold is ready to take off. It could go up to Y3,000 or even Y4,000 (per gram) easy ... and Japan could lead the way, Matsufuji recently said in a recent interview with Dow Jones Newswires. Matsufuji said the rally could happen soon. Gold at Y3,000/gram is roughly equivalent to $764 per troy ounce. Gold, which hit a high of $875 an ounce in 1980, has long been languishing in the doldrums. April 2002 gold futures on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange was trading Wednesday at Y1,054/gram at 0615 GMT. Spot gold at 0615 GMT was at $272.10/oz. The man the Economist magazine once described as rich and rude admits that he is in the minority, as gold's 21-year bear run has scared away most backers. But I see the Dow falling sharply, the dollar plummeting to Y80 and bond prices crashing. Eventually, the only safe alternatives will be gold and shares in gold mining companies, said Matsufuji. That is why I founded Jipangu. It's a kind of 'insurance' company. Jipangu was set up in 1995. Preparing for the Coming Golden Age Matsufuji was evasive when pressed for specifics to back up his predictions, and prefers to fall back on historical models. When U.S. stocks crashed in 1929, prices of gold and shares in gold mining companies soared, and the same thing is about to happen again, he said. Matsufuji is so convinced of the coming gold boom that he has been putting his money where his prognostication is -- and in a very big way. Through Jipangu, he has been snapping up major stakes in mining companies around the globe. He already has a 24% stake in High River Gold Mines Ltd., a 22% stake in Cambior Inc. and a 24% stake in Claimstaker Resources Ltd., all three based in Canada, and he also has the option to buy a significant stake in South African mining giant Harmony Gold Co. Ltd. Altogether Matsufuji has his hand in some 40 projects around the world. Based on his own estimates, some 20 million ounces of gold, or 622 tons, are now under his control. That is more than twice of Australia's 2000 output of 295.7 tons of gold. Australia is the world's third biggest gold producer. Japanese Investors Seen As Key I want to give Japanese investors the opportunity to invest in gold and gold mining companies around the world without exposure to currency risks, said Matsufuji, who sees Japanese investors as a key element in the new golden age. Japanese investors will use yen to invest in yen-denominated shares of Jipangu, which would then give them an indirect stake in the various mining companies affiliated with Jipangu, he said. If they were to buy stocks in these mining companies directly, they would have to buy the shares on, for example, Canadian equity markets using Canadian dollars exposing them to currency risk, he added. Through Jipangu their investment is kept in yen. Japan is the world's largest creditor nation. Individual assets total more than 1,300 trillion yen. If just 1% of this money could be moved into gold, that would instantly account for five years worth of global production, and gold prices would skyrocket, Matsufuji said. Japan has the potential to really move the market, said Matsufuji, who hopes Jipangu will serve as the vehicle for pumping more Japanese money into the gold market. Matsufuji explained that the word Jipangu was first bought to the West by Marco Polo as a term describing Japan as an island of gold. That is why I named my company Jipangu. I want Japan to again be full of gold. -END- Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
[CTRL] Did Karl Rove Violate Ethics Laws?
http://www.salon.com/politics/wire/2001/06/13/rove/index.html Did Karl Rove violate ethics laws? - - - - - - - - - - - - by Pete Yost June 13, 2001 | President Bush's top strategist, who owned more than $100,000 of Intel stock, met in March with the company's chief executive and two lobbyists as they pushed for federal approval of a corporate merger. The administration approved the deal less than two months later. White House officials said senior adviser Karl Rove referred the computer chipmaker's executives to others in the administration and played no part in the approval. Rove does not recall raising the issue with the president, officials said. "He offered no advice or counsel with regard to this decision," White House spokesman Dan Bartlett said. Rove, however, continued to be copied in on correspondence from Intel and its trade group until the decision was made in early May, documents obtained by The Associated Press show. Rove sold all of his stocks last Thursday, unloading a diverse portfolio of holdings in defense, high-tech, energy and banking companies valued at between $1 million and $2.5 million. Some legal experts said Rove should have removed himself from the discussion with Intel to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest under federal ethics laws. "I think Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do about how this appears," said Mike Gerhardt, a William Mary law professor specializing in constitutional law issues relating to misconduct in the executive branch of government. "If this were the Clinton administration and it was somebody who worked for Hillary or Bill, then Karl Rove himself would be denouncing it in the loudest terms possible," Gerhardt said. Intel chief lobbyist Jim Jarrett said he, another lobbyist and CEO Craig Barrett met separately on March 12 with Rove and Vice President Dick Cheney at the White House. The meetings, requested by Intel, also covered Bush's energy, tax cut and education plans and were "quite useful" in the effort to win federal approval of the merger between one of Intel's U.S. suppliers and a Dutch company, Jarrett said. The deal required government approval because it involved foreign ownership of a U.S. computer company whose sensitive technology is relied upon by the military. "I don't know that you can say that any one meeting tips the balance, but certainly when the CEO comes to call and makes this one of his priorities, it demonstrates to him that we think it's important," Jarrett said. Company executives were unaware Rove owned between $100,000 and $250,000 in Intel stock at the time. "We don't concern ourselves with that quite often. The world is filled with hundreds of thousands of Intel shareholders," company spokesman Chuck Mulloy said. Federal ethics laws and rules prohibit an executive official with an economic interest in a decision from participating through recommendations, advice or rulings. The only way Rove could avoid violating the laws was "if he were truly mute and he offered no comment then or later" on the Intel matter, said Stephen Gillers, a New York University law professor. Creating a blind trust or divesting months earlier should have been a "no brainer," said Sheldon Cohen, who set up the first presidential blind trust in 1963 for Lyndon Johnson. "The whole purpose of ethics rules is to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, and having even a hint of an appearance problem destroys people's confidence in government," Cohen said. White House spokeswoman Anne Womack said Rove originally decided last December to sell his stocks in individual companies but then was advised in January by Bush transition counsel Fred Fielding that he should hold off. Fielding suggested the White House counsel's office should obtain a government certificate of divestiture that would allow Rove to defer paying capital gains taxes on the stock sales. White House officials said the request for the certificate was delayed because the counsel's office was inundated with the work of a new administration such as arranging security clearances for nominees and developing ethics standards for employees. During that time, Rove's stock fell about 20 percent and then recovered much of the loss before the sale. An AP computer analysis of stock prices indicates the stocks that Rove valued on his ethics form last December at between $1.2 million and $2.8 million had dropped in value to between $896,000 and $2.2 million by mid-March. At the time he sold, they were between $1 million and $2.5 million. "During the time that White House counsel was reviewing Karl's file, Karl did receive multiple ethics briefings explaining the importance of avoiding any conflicts of interest," Bartlett said. "Based on those meetings, Karl avoided any discussions that specifically or materially affected his financial holdings." Rove's session with Intel wasn't the only one with an industry in which he held a financial stake, according to
[CTRL] USAF Air-Borne Laser Hampered By Insufficient Range
http://www.geostrategy-direct.com/geostrategy-direct/ U.S. air borne laser hampered by limited range The U.S. Air Force's air borne laser, a featured objective of Bush administration funding efforts, is expected to be insufficient against missile threats from Iran and North Korea. Missile experts have told Congress that the ABL will have a range of 400 kilometers, insufficient to strike against Iranian launchers and missiles fired from deep within that country. The Pentagon has asked Congress for an additional $153 million for the U.S. Air Force program. Congress originally allocated $234 million for the ABL, scheduled to be completed in 2008. Officials said the administration now sees the ABL program as the key to national missile defense plans. The ABL would relay a high-powered laser beam from the nose of a Boeing 747 jet toward launchers or missiles fired in their first stage. Infrared sensors aboard the jet would automatically detect the missile launch. "We think it's a revolutionary capability," Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Ryan said. "We think to be able to put a high-powered laser, to be able to acquire, track and destroy missiles in their ascent phase, is terribly important to future capabilities in defense and force protection." But the range of the laser would not meet the threat from the two most ambitious missile and weapons of mass destruction producers. North Korea has already developed intermediate- and long-range missiles as well as several nuclear bombs. Iran, developing a missile with a range of 6,000 kilometers, is expected to have nuclear weapons by the middle of the decade. Ryan told a Senate committee on June 6 that the request for additional money for the ABL would help ensure that the Pentagon could test a prototype within as early as two years. The administration has told U.S. allies in NATO that Washington wants to establish a layered defense that will confront enemy missiles in every phase of flight and use aircraft lasers. Such a system would contain laser weapons. "We certainly want to do that and hold to that schedule, and hence that's the reason that we put more money into it," Ryan said. In a related development, the air force reported the success of a test of an experimental cruise missile defense system. Officials said radars from land, air and sea locked on to unmanned air vehicles that simulated cruise missiles that flew over the Gulf of Mexico in an exercise held last week. Officials said two of the systems meant to protect the United States and Canada from cruise missiles could be operating by 2005. The radar units are meant for point defense against cruise missiles fired by terrorist groups.

Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com Robalini's Note: In one of the more blatant examples of the dishonest cynicism surrounding the policies of president Bush, the Shrub administration has turned down a request by California to waive exemption of the use of ethanol in gas for a more clean burn. This despite the fact that if a shortage of corn crops occurs (not to mention that there may not be enough to meet the huge California market), it could disastrously jack up gasoline prices. This is once again proof of his lie over concern for lost jobs in explaining his administration's reactionary energy and environmental policies. The facts speak for themselves: none of his moves surrounding energy policy have benefited any but huge corporations. http://www.latimes.com Monday, June 11, 2001 Gas Additive Rule Won't Be Waived Pollution: EPA official says California will not get exemption. Residents likely to pay at pump. By RICHARD SIMON, DAN MORAIN, Times Staff Writers WASHINGTON--The Bush administration plans to deny California's request for exemption from a federal gas rule that state officials say would increase already-rising prices at the pumps, an Environmental Protection Agency official said Sunday night. The decision, expected this week, would require the state to use a fuel additive, most likely ethanol, to help gasoline burn more cleanly. That could cost California drivers as much as $450 million a year, said Roger Salazar, a spokesman for Gov. Gray Davis. It also could trigger fuel shortages. The decision is likely to increase the friction between Davis and the White House, already at odds over electricity price controls. It also would complicate Davis' efforts to phase out the gas additive MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), which has polluted ground water. The decision, for which the EPA official offered no explanation, comes after heavy lobbying by corn growers and farm state lawmakers who regard California as a huge new market for ethanol and, on the other side, by oil companies and California's congressional delegation, which supported the waiver. The oil companies contend they can make gas that can meet anti-pollution standards without having to use ethanol. If, in fact, the Bush administration has turned down the request for a waiver, it is again showing a blind eye for California's problems, said Howard Gantman, a spokesman for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). The state urgently needs the waiver. MTBE pollutes the ground water, and there is not enough ethanol available without a price increase at the pump. The Clean Air Act requires that gas sold in the nation's smoggiest regions contain an oxygenate that makes it burn more cleanly. The requirement applies to 70% of the gas sold in California. Refiners have generally used MTBE, but Davis has ordered it to be phased out by Dec. 31, 2002, because it has contaminated ground water throughout the state. The only practical alternative to MTBE is ethanol. The debate is expected to continue in Congress, where Feinstein is sponsoring a bill that would allow any state to get a waiver from the requirement if the state could demonstrate that it could meet the clean air standards without the additive. Davis, in a conference call with reporters Sunday, said he had no comment until he is formally notified of the decision by the EPA. But Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.), who joined Davis in the conference call, said he was concerned about it. Lieberman, who with the Democratic takeover of the Senate became chairman of the Governmental Affairs Committee, is planning hearings later this month on California's energy crisis. President Bush, during a visit to Iowa on Friday, expressed support for ethanol, produced in Midwest states with the help of federal subsidies. I still strongly believe that ethanol is important, not only to reduce dependency on foreign sources of energy but secondly as a way to clean the air, he said. The decision was hailed by corn growers and ethanol makers, as experts say California's huge gas market would need about 580 million gallons of ethanol a year--or about one-third of U.S. production--to meet federal requirements. The ethanol industry dismisses concerns that requiring use of the product could increase gas costs or that there will not be enough ethanol to meet California's demands. But the California EPA estimates that transportation of ethanol to the state from the Midwest, whether by barge, which is the normal route, or by rail may add 3 to 5 cents a gallon at the pumps.

Title: State Department says next 48 hours "critical" for Mideast ceasefire === Kadosh, Kadosh,, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends=== Thursday, June 14 3:31 AM SGT State Department says next 48 hours "critical" for Mideast ceasefireWASHINGTON, June 13 (AFP) - The State Department on Wednesday said the next 48 hours in the Middle East would be "critical" if a new truce agreement between Israel and the Palestinians was to hold. Echoing comments by other US officials, department spokesman Philip Reeker the next two days would decide whether the ceasefire blueprint brokered late Tuesday by CIA chief George Tenet would work and lead to a resumption of peace talks. "Implementation will require good-faith efforts by both sides and I think the next 24 hours -- 48 hours at least -- are critical for each side to demonstrate to the other its commitment to fulfilling the obligations they've undertaken," Reeker told reporters. "We're going to be watching this very closely," he said. "It's a good plan, we're very pleased that both sides have signed on and that's where we'll continue." Reeker refused to detail the items in the Tenet plan and other officials were equally tight-lipped declining to give a single specific of the plan. "The mutual steps include Palestinian actions against those perpetrating violent acts and Israeli actions to ease the closure and economic pressures on the Palestinians," was as far as one senior official would go. The ceasefire formally took effect at 1200 GMT Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer said. According to Israeli media reports, the Tenet plans called for an immediate truce and a meeting 48 hours later to review the status on the ground since then. During those 48 hours, Israel must have begun to withdraw its armor from advanced positions inside Palestinian territory and ceased attacks against Palestinian Authority targets, they said. For their part, the Palestinians must have proceeded to arrest a certain number of militants included on a list provided by Israel, ended incitement to violence by the official media and stopped any attacks on Israeli targets. Five days later, the two sides are meet again to review steps that each had taken to consolidate the ceasefire. Reeker said Tenet, who met earlier Wednesday with Israeli and Palestinian security officials in Tel Aviv, had left the region and would be arriving in Washington later in the day. US special Middle East assistant William Burns, who has been in the region discussing how to resume political negotiations, travelled to Belgium on Wednesday to join Secretary of State Colin Powell in a meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, he said. Burns was to return to Jerusalem on Thursday to continue discussions, Reeker said. Copyright © 1994-2001 Yahoo! Inc.

New federal privacy regulations mandate that doctors turn patient records over to the HHS and other federal agencies for safekeeping; allow the release of medical records to other government agencies without patient consent for unspecified public health surveillance activities; and permit law enforcement agencies to access medical records without a search warrant. Contact your congressperson now to support Rep. Ron Paul's medical privacy bill. http://www.lp.org/lpnews/0106/medprivacy.html Rep. Ron Paul's medical privacy bill picks up eight more House co-sponsors A bill filed by Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) that would repeal new federal privacy regulations has picked up eight more co-sponsors over the past month -- while the Libertarian Party's cyberpetition in support of the legislation has garnered another 4,000 signatures. Since mid-April, when the LP refocused its medical privacy campaign to generate support for HJR 38, Paul's resolution has picked up six Republicans, one Democrat, and one independent supporter. The bill now has 11 co-sponsors. In addition, the number of signatures on the cyberpetition -- at the Libertarian Party's pro-privacy website, www.DefendYourPrivacy.com -- against the so-called privacy regulations had hit 58,255 by May 18, up from 54,130 a month earlier. Our campaign is definitely picking up momentum, said LP National Director Steve Dasbach, who is helping coordinate the campaign. We still have an uphill battle, but we're making definite progress. However, he said, time is short: Both the House and Senate must pass HJR 38 within 60 legislative days in order to stop the Health Human Services privacy regulations, which would force doctors to turn their patients' confidential medical records over to the government. In other words, we only have until about June 15 to generate enough Congressional support for HJR 38 to stop this federal raid on our medical privacy, said Dasbach. HJR 38 would declare that the HHS rules have no force or effect. The Libertarian Party opposes the HHS regulations -- which were originally drafted by and endorsed by the Clinton administration -- because they would effectively kiss your medical privacy goodbye, said Dasbach. Although touted by government officials as medical privacy regulations, the rules would actually mandate that doctors turn patient records over to the HHS and other federal agencies for safekeeping; allow the release of medical records to other government agencies without patient consent for unspecified public health surveillance activities; and permit law enforcement agencies to access medical records without a search warrant. The rules would also assign every American a unique patient identifier; allow foreign government officials to see Americans' health records if the U.S. government claims it is for a national health purpose; and give direct marketers access to medical records without patient consent. The regulations are opposed by the Washington, DC-based Institute for Health Freedom, the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), WorldNetDaily.com columnist Geoff Metcalf, and others. The party started a campaign against the regulation in late March, using its www.DefendYourPrivacy.com website. At that time, the regulations were still in the proposal stage, so the party encouraged people to contact their Congressional representatives and ask them to put pressure on HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson to reject the rules. The party generated more than 43,000 e-mails opposing the rules while, at the same time, Americans flooded the HHS with 24,000 anti-regulation letters. However, on April 12, President George W. Bush quietly ordered Thompson to ignore the outpouring of complaints, and implement the regulations immediately. More than 67,000 Americans spoke out against these regulations -- but their opinions were ignored by the Bush Administration, said Dasbach. That's why we had to go to Plan Two, and try to block the regulations through the House and Senate. To sign the petition and send an e-mail to your U.S. House representative and U.S. Senator urging support for HJR 38, visit: www.DefendYourPrivacy.com.

[CTRL] LP: High-tech privacy battle
-Caveat Lector- http://www.lp.org/press/archive.php?function=viewrecord=210 Libertarian Party Press Release June 11, 2001 Supreme Court's thermal imaging decision is just the start of high-tech privacy battle WASHINGTON, DC -- If you think the Supreme Court's decision curbing the use of thermal imaging devices means you're safe from government surveillance, think again, the Libertarian Party warned today: Police still have a frightening arsenal of high-tech Peeping Tom devices they can use against you. Don't celebrate yet, said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. Police can still employ an appalling array of science fiction-style devices, including X-rated X-rays that display your naked body; radar guns that see through walls; and ion sniffers that detect traces of drugs in the air. Yes, police now need a search warrant before using a thermal imager. But the government is like a compulsive voyeur. If you pull the curtain in one window, Uncle Sam just peers in another. That's why the battle over the Fourth Amendment in a high-tech world has just begun. On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled, 5-4, that police violated the Fourth Amendment when they used a thermal imaging device -- which monitors heat patterns through the walls of a house -- without a search warrant. Such surveillance is legally a search, the court ruled, since it allows police to explore details of the home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion. The case involved an Oregon man convicted of growing marijuana after police scanned his home with an Agema 210 thermal imager, and detected the signature heat patterns of high-intensity growing lamps. The ruling is a victory for privacy, acknowledged Dasbach. But it won't be the end of the debate over high-tech surveillance versus privacy. A whole stampede of Tom Clancy-style spying devices are running headlong into the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable search, he said. Most Americans would be shocked at the intrusive surveillance equipment now being used by law enforcement. According to news reports, state governments and federal agencies are using or developing the following exotic, high-tech surveillance devices: * A radar gun that allows police to see through concrete walls. The handheld device, about the size of a large hair dryer, shoots radio waves through walls and displays movement on a graph. The device will be in police hands by October. * High-tech scanners -- dubbed X-rated X-rays by critics -- that can show a clear image of your naked body under your clothes. The machine, called the BodySearch, has already been installed by the FAA in airports around the nation, and is used to examine suspected smugglers. * An ion sniffer, developed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center. The device analyzes the chemical makeup of the air, and can detect, for example, trace molecules of cocaine through the skin. It's being used to scan truck drivers for possible drug use. A walk-though model of the device is now being developed. * NASA spy satellites, which have been employed by state governments in North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona. Satellite photographs are used to search for unreported improvements that might increase property taxes; to check for water-use permits; and to find improper timber cutting. And currently under development by the Justice Department: A super X-ray -- combining X-ray technology, ultra-sound imaging, and computer-aided metal detectors -- to reveal items hidden under clothes from up to 60 feet away. What do all these devices have in common? Technology is vastly expanding the power of the police to spy on you, said Dasbach. Unreasonable search has become unbelievable search. That's why the Supreme Court ruling on thermal imagers was a good first step -- but it was not enough. We need the Supreme Court to unequivocally declare that there is no high-tech exemption to the Fourth Amendment. Not for thermal imagers. Not for super X-rays. Not for the next dreadful device that police develop. In short, we need a Fourth Amendment that is even more powerful than the high-tech surveillance equipment that police are using to pulverize our privacy. === Kadosh, Kadosh,, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer*[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends === A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

The more famous the better and so I think that is why we have people who claim to be sex-slaves of the famous. I think THEY believe that but it is unlikely as the rich and famous do not need assistance in obtaining all the sex they would want and I do not see them cheerfully sharing said sex slaves with all and sundry both foreign and domestic without fear of disease at the least. Author Andrew Vaachs has written of people who will disguise themselves as Satanists and perform ritual acts (when they are not and the rituals are staged) so that the victims of the sexual attack will seem less credible and so not be believed. I think this may have been what happened at McMartin. Just surround some act of sexual opportunism with enough of the ridiculous (like wearing a Ronald McDonald costume) and who will believe the child? Ronald McDonald raped me! The response would be one of disbelief and it might even be cause to disregard that ANYTHING even happened at all except some fanciful imaginings of a child.

[CTRL] Neurological Impact Of Fluoride Toxicity
-Caveat Lector- Neurological Impact Of Fluoride Toxicity From Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6-13-1 While the links from fluoride consumption to cancer, osteoporosis, and other physical ailments are long established, recently studies have shown that fluoride impact is much broader and includes neurological and cerebrovascular effects. Fluoride has been banned in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, West Germany (now unified), Italy, Belgium, Austria, France, and The Netherlands. Tea (not including the herbal varieties) is a surprising culprit, in addition to fluoridated drinking water supplies and fluoride toothpaste. A 52-week study of the factors that enhance or inhibit the bioavailability of aluminum and its effects on the nervous system was published in 1998 in the Journal of Brain Research. According to the report, the equivalent of fluoridated drinking water in terms of elemental fluorine levels had an impact on brain tissue similar to the pathological changes found in humans with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The introduction to the report noted, One of their most remarkable findings was that animals administered the lowest dose of aluminum-fluoride (0.5 ppm) exhibited a greater susceptibility to illness and a higher incidence of mortality than the animals administered the higher levels (5 ppm, 50 ppm) of aluminum [without the fluoride]. While the small amount of aluminum-fluoride in the drinking water of rats required for neurotoxic effects is surprising, perhaps even more surprising are the neurological results of the sodium-fluoride at the dose given in the present study (2.1 ppm) [the amount used to achieve 1 ppm of elemental fluorine used in fluoridation]. In most reports of chronic fluoride toxicity, the data provided are usually limited to weight loss, dental and skeletal changes, indicators of carcinogenesis, and damage to soft tissues. Fluoride has diverse actions on a variety of cellular and physiological functions, including the inhibition of a variety of enzymes, a corrosive action in acid mediums, hypocalcemia [low blood calcium], hyperkalemia [excess blood potassium], and possibly cerebral impairment. The authors summarize, Chronic administration of aluminum-fluoride and sodium-fluoride in the drinking water of rats resulted in distinct morphological alterations of the brain, including the effects on neurons and cerebrovasculature. A previous study by Mullenix, et al. in Neurotoxicology and Teratology, 1995, documents abnormal behavioral responses by animals exposed to fluoride at various stages of gestation, which resulted in permanent hyperactivity if exposed prenatally, or extreme lethargy if exposed after birth, with some animals not able to find their way out of a circular maze to the same food source every day. This study of the neurological effects of sodium fluoride, which is commonly touted as a safe and even health-promoting drinking water additive, came on the heels of a recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association that 2 million people a year become ill, and more than 100,000 die, from medicines judged by the medical community to have been correctly prescribed and correctly administered.
