If this did actually happen, those
responsible should be prosecuted for their actions, but knowing the way the
government operates it is more likely that this woman would be brought up on
charges of prostitution rather than the CIA going on trial.

[CTRL] Fiber's Effect on a Cancer Risk Questioned

1999-01-21 Thread Hilary Thomas




Fiber's Effect on a Cancer Risk 
Questioned 
By David 
BrownWashington Post Staff WriterThursday, January 21, 1999; Page A3 
Eating a diet high in fiber doesn't lower a 
woman's risk of developing cancer of the colon or the rectum, according to 
research published today. 
A study of 88,000 women, whose health and diets were followed for 16 years, 
found that those who ate a relatively small amount of fiber had the same risk of 
colorectal cancer as those eating more than twice as much. 
The theory that diets high in fiber protect against colorectal cancer was 
first seriously propounded 30 years ago. Fiber is the structural material of 
plants that can't be absorbed by the human digestive tract. Contrary to many 
public perceptions, however, evidence for the theory has been sketchy at best. 
My own conclusion is that if one is concerned about preventing colon 
cancer, I'm not sure that [consuming] fiber is an effective method, said 
Charles S. Fuchs, a physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who 
headed the study. But there are many other potentially effective ways to 
do that. 
Exercise lowers the risk for colon cancer, as does the regular use of 
aspirin. Eating red meat tends to raise it. There is some evidence that obesity, 
as well as consumption of fat and sugar, also raises the risk. 
As with most epidemiological studies, it's impossible to say with certainty 
whether these results are correct. A more definitive test of the theory is to 
randomly assign people to follow either a low-fiber diet or a regular diet, and 
then observe them for cancer. At least two such studies are underway. 
Previous studies have shown that high-fiber diets help protect against 
coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and a relatively rare disease of 
the colon called diverticulitis. 
I think it's still important to eat a high-fiber, low-fat diet, 
said Robert Kurtz, chief of the gastroenterology and nutrition service at 
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. I think we'll all be 
healthier for that. Will it protect against colon cancer? We don't know 
yet. 
Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer, in terms of new 
cases and deaths, in the United States. Colon cancer is more common than rectum 
cancer, and accounts for 85 percent of colorectal cancer deaths. 
The findings, published in today's New England Journal of Medicine, came from 
the Nurses' Health Study, which has regularly queried about 121,000 American 
nurses (starting in 1976), and then monitored their health. 
In 1980, 1984 and 1986, the women filled out questionnaires in which they 
estimated how frequently in the previous year they ate dozens of different 
foodstuffs. The amount of fiber, and many other nutrients, in each woman's daily 
diet was then calculated. (The researchers compared the data with actual 
measurements of the foods consumed -- measurements that a small subgroup of 
women did for a month. The questionnaire proved to be an adequate, although not 
perfect, method of gauging actual intake.) 
The women were then divided into five groups. The group with the lowest 
intake consumed about 10 grams of fiber a day, the group with the highest 
consumed about 25 grams. 
By 1996, there were 787 cases of colon or rectum cancer among the women. 
There was no significant difference in the rates of cancer between any of the 
groups. The researchers made statistical adjustments to compensate for other 
possible risk factors, such as physical activity, alcohol intake and fat 
consumed. There was also no relationship between fiber intake and the 
development of adenomas, the type of colon polyp from which nearly all cancers 
arise. 
Although the study involved only women, previous research had raised 
questions about whether fiber reduced the risk for colorectal cancer in men, the 
researchers said. 
Screening for colon polyps or cancers is the most certain way of reducing 
one's risk of dying from the disease. People whose colorectal cancers are 
discovered before they experience any symptoms have a 90 percent chance of 
living five years. If the cancers are found only after they have become large 
enough to cause symptoms, the five-year survival rate drops to about 50 percent. 

Although the salutary effects of raw vegetables and fruits have been 
mentioned since ancient times, the theoretical link between fiber and colon 
cancer was first suggested in 1969 by a British surgeon named Denis Burkitt. 
A Presbyterian medical missionary who spent two decades in Uganda, Burkitt 
noted the extreme rarity of colon cancer among his African patients. He 
theorized that their high-fiber diets were the reason. 
Subsequently, researchers theorized that fiber might protect against cancer 
by neutralizing cancer-causing substances in the digestive system or by speeding 
the digestive process, reducing exposure to those substances.

[CTRL] Gregory Craig: Notes on Arguments

1999-01-20 Thread Hilary Thomas





Gregory Craig: Notes on White House Special Counsel Arguments
by Hilary A. Thomas
Day Two of defense arguments continue to be weak but we have a lot more 
details.
There appear to be several major strategies for the defense: If President 
Clinton didnt obstruct justice he didnt commit perjury; fair due 
process was not given to the President in the Articles of Impeachment; Oath Vs 
Oath; private Vs official; Separation of Opinion from fact and/or reason; and a 
continuation of separation of the man from the presidency.
There were many points made by Mr. Craig but, I will highlight a few: 
Craig talked in terms of Beyond a Reasonable Doubt as if it were 
an established fact that this is the measure by which the Senate will rule. 
Smooth. One point for Craig.
The proposal that if Clinton didnt obstruct justice he didnt 
commit perjury is an intriguing strategy. Most of the obstruction charges (if 
not all) relate to the Paula Jones case. Craig also emphasized that perjury 
charges in the Jones case had been thrown out of the House and therefore should 
not be addressed by the House Managers at this time. Therefore, if Craig can get 
the triers to dismiss the evidence of the Jones case, the 
obstruction evidence will subsequently be dismissed. If we continue with 
Craigs strategy and there is no obstruction of justice there is no 
perjury. Nice plan. One point for Craig. However, Im not ready to throw 
out perjury and obstruction of justice charges at this time.
Throughout his argument there is an attempt to separate Clintons 
opinion from fact and/or reason. If we agree to this separation then Clinton 
isnt accountable because it is his opinion and we can not convict anyone 
for having an opinion. This is, after all, America. Yesterdays argument 
separated the man from the presidency where we could condemn the man but not the 
President. However, since these many statements were merely Clintons 
opinions it looks like we cant condemn the man either. Nice try but, I 
happen to believe that people are accountable for their actions, thoughts and 
yes, even their opinions.
Craig spent a considerable amount of time arguing that due process was not 
fair for Clinton in that the articles of impeachment were vague and summarized. 
Given this, President Clinton could not mount an effective defense for he was 
not provided the information he needed. He furthered his argument by stating 
that this vagueness gave too much authority to the Senate when it is the 
responsibility of the House to impeach. Ill agree with the former part of 
this argument in that it does have merit but, the latter part of this argument 
isnt really germane to the case as it is one of procedure. The Senate 
does try a President at this stage so the trial really hasnt been 
affected by an increase of authority to the Senate. Furthermore, the House did 
impeach the President and not the Senate so, the argument falls apart at this 
point.
Craig stated that the Managers covered information not addressed in the House 
impeachment trial and that this is unacceptable. This is standard practice in 
legal proceedings. The Managers didnt go outside the records and both 
counsels had access to the same materials. Its call doing ones 
homework.
Craig stated that Clinton had been evasive with the Jones deposition but this 
didnt count because the House had rejected this case. In his testimony to 
the Grand Jury he had been truthful. (more about this later)
Craig introduced the idea of Oath Vs Oath stating that the Supreme court had 
ruled that a case shouldnt be tried if only based on this. Craig dashed 
over the word ONLY rather quickly but did stress the words Supreme Court. The 
evidence of the prosecution does rely heavily on Monicas testimony but 
not entirely.
He went on later to say that Oath Vs Oath cases are never tried in the real 
world. On what planet? He Said, She Said cases fill our courts daily and it is 
in the court that the truth is determined.
A video of Richard Davis (former Watergate investigator) was shown stating 
that, and Im paraphrasing, that perjury charges must not be brought 
against an individual if only two people are involved basically in a He Said, 
She said situation. Actually, there are other witness but, if they are not 
allowed to testify then yes, this would be mostly about two people. 
The phrase on certain occasions was addressed as not perjurious 
or a direct lie regarding sexual encounters or telephone calls. Monica also 
described these as occasional. Actually, I have to agree with the 
defense on this one. It was a weak argument by the prosecution. One point for 
Craig.
The prosecution also claimed the Clinton was lying because he stated that he 
talked about encounters with Monica in 1996 and 1997 but not in 1995. The 
significance of 1995 is that is when she was an intern and I suppose the 
argument has more cache if she is a lowly intern rather than gainfully employed. 
It is a minor point and Im even

Good evening Kent,
My husband called me this evening shortly after he drove into
Birmingham,
Alabama travelling south on State Highway 79.He sighted what he believes
to be
a meteor. He said it was the largest he had ever seen and it was in
broad
daylight between 4:30PM and 5:00PM CST. It was as large as his fist on
his
extended arm. The body of this fireball itself was a brilliant white
color and
it had a red and green tail. It was travelling from north to south and
was
about 45 degrees above the horizon. He also said that while it did
appear to be
falling, it was still travelling in a more straight forward than
downward
direction. This sighting took place in an area called Tarrant City, just

outside of the Birmingham city limits to the northeast. Was just
wondering if
there had been any other sightings from anywhere else today.  Thanks.

[CTRL] Ruff At His Best?

1999-01-19 Thread Hilary Thomas





I just finished watching the opening defense arguments by White House Counsel 
Charles Ruff. All I can say is if Ruff were my lawyer Id be shaking in my 
boots now.
I dont think Clinton will be removed from office so, he need not worry 
too much about his defense. It is disappointing though that a stronger case (at 
least so far) hasnt been made in Clintons defense. On the other 
hand, its becoming abundantly clear (IMHO) that the Senators are pretty 
much siding along party lines and if the voting is similar Clinton will stay in 
office.
I found the first segment of Mr. Ruffs argument disjointed and 
confusing. I was in and out of the room for the first 15 minutes so, I did miss 
how he was going to outline his presentation. I know that an overview requires 
touching down on many points but, there didnt seem to be a concurrent 
thread and it was hard to establish his overall strategy. Im sure part of 
this confusion was in the fact that I did not see the first part of his 
speech.
For the most part, I found Ruffs arguments weak. I will highlight a 
few things. Of necessity, defense counsel needs to address each and every arrow 
shot at Clinton during by the prosecution. Thats standard and I expected 
the litany of charges and side comments to be addressed. Im not going to 
go over all of this - its just too many details and Id be writing 
till next year if I did.
There was an argument to separate the man from the presidency with the idea 
that you can condemn the behavior of the man and still keep the presidency 
intact. This is actually a pretty good argument in that it gives everyone a back 
door. So, Ruff definitely gets a golden star for this one.
Ruff disputed the position that if judges were impeached for perjury than so 
should the President by stating that the presidency is very different from the 
position of a judge. He backed this up with 3 explanations: 1) there is only one 
president; 2) judges are in office for life where as an election every four 
years will automatically clean house of any corrupt President and 3) 
that as there is only one president removing him from office will negatively 
impact society whereas you can remove any number of judges (there being so many 
of them) without negatively impacting society. I agree with all of these 
statements however, they are not germane to the case. 
Ruff stated that the phrase High Crimes and Misdemeanors as 
applied to impeachment is not vague and in fact is clearly defined. He never did 
provide that definition though he did state that perjury and obstruction of 
justice is not part of the definition. Good attempt but, it didnt get by 
me!
Ruff stated that perjury in the Paula Jones case was already voted down by 
the house as a reason to impeach. I didnt follow the House rulings. If it 
was decided that the Senate would not follow up on this and if the Senate agreed 
not to follow up on this issue then it was inappropriate for the prosecution to 
go into this area. I dont know the rulings and decision on this 
matter.
Ruff asserted that this is an issue of perjury on a private matter (more 
separation of man from the presidency) and that a removal from office is not a 
proper response. I take the position that perjury under oath before a Grand Jury 
is not a private matter. So, I see it differently from our good Mr. Ruff.
Mr. Ruff suggested that determination be raise to Beyond a reasonable 
doubt. This is a good strategy. Another point for Mr. Ruff.
Mr. Ruff did address an interesting technical point in terms a having a fair 
due process. He felt that the articles were a summary rather than a detailed 
accounting. Without a detailed accounting Clinton wouldnt be properly 
informed of what he was being charged with and therefore that charges should be 
dropped. Now, Im not a lawyer but, I didnt have any problems 
understanding the articles of impeachment. He also stated that the charges were 
listed as multiple offenses which lead to duplicity ( I think he said duplicity 
but, for some reason I understood repetition - its a point Im not 
clear on).
If Ruff is proposing that because there were too many charges (reasons) for 
impeachment and that these charges were listed more than once I dont feel 
this a valid reason to drop the charges. Thats like say, because he 
shot 10 people instead of just one, the charges should be dropped. 
I do agree that the insertion of the phrase one or more is vague 
and that this could and probably should have read more accurately. Basically, 
this is an argument of due process with the understanding that the phrasing of 
the articles left Clinton possibly in doubt of why he is being impeached. Good 
try, but I dont doubt Clinton is able to follow the ball on this one.

Ruff did bring up a good point about his testimony. The prosecution stated 
the Ruff was evasive (Im not remembering the actual phrasing here) when 
asked if Clinton had told the truth. Ruff read from the record, He surely 
did. This is

CIA Not Tickled By Jokes With Intelligence

   He calls himself "America's Funniest Intelligence Officer," but the
   Central Intelligence Agency apparently is not laughing now that his Web
   site has exposed some of their alleged "oddballs."

   John Alejandro King says he's worked at the Company for 14 years
   "building data bases" and that he's always gotten high marks. But that
   was before he started poking fun at the CIA on the Internet.

   'The Covert Comic'

   Currently featured on King's site (www.covertcomic.com) is an essay
   titled "The Intelligence Underground: The Spookiest of the Spooks," by
   one "Jim Beetle." King tells us that "Beetle" is a fake name for another
   CIA officer, but that his roster of "highly unorthodox" employees is
   "all real."

   Among the spooks:

 * An analyst obsessed with UFOs.

 * An intelligence officer who, prior to being discreetly retired a few
   years back, sold his own porn videos on the side.

 * A female staffer who "keeps male sex slaves."

 * A Special Agent who believes he's the son of Jesus Christ and lays
   hands on the sick.

   "Beetle" asks: "Why haven't these kooks been fired for their bizarre
   activities? Perhaps, in the end, they will be. For the moment though,
   these and other crazies continue in their official duties as custodians
   of some of America's most sensitive information."

   King, whose site also includes "CIA jokes," says his own future at the
   agency remains cloudy.

   Although he insists he hasn't spilled any classified info, he says his
   bosses at Langley have told him him his site is "highly inappropriate."

   "They can't fire me, but they did it anyway," says King, adding that
   he's 40 years old and makes about $72,500. "I had to get an attorney to
   reinstate me. My attorney suggested I abandon the Web site. I don't want
   to. I don't see why I can't write satire and work in the intelligence
   community."

   The CIA's phone directory lists a John King, but an agency spokesman
   declined any sort of comment.

   King doesn't think he'll be "terminated with prejudice," as they say in
   his business. He does believe the agency may put "me into what I think
   they'll call Special Status. The Covert Comic is still hanging in there,
   but barely."

I believe if the cameras were facing the Senators we would see that many of
them are fast asleep!  Most of them don't want to do this and are forced to
sit there.  I suspect that while many of them bring their bodies their minds
are elsewhere as they have already decided how they will vote.  The massive
whoring and party line dribble on TV talk shows by Senators on both sides of
the argument, is testimony that we do not have a legitimate trial going on.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  This is cleverly done by
eliminating the middle class.  In the background of the Big Picture, all the

I believe there have been a number of Executive Orders in recent years which

Libertarians blast Congress for spending
$23 million to develop anti-drug killer fungus

WASHINGTON, DC -- The United States government is spending $23 million
to develop a killer fungus to wipe out marijuana plants -- a dangerous plan
that could cause an environmental catastrophe, said the Libertarian Party
today.

"This project is the political equivalent of athlete's foot fungus:
It's nasty, it's dangerous, and it needs to be stopped before it spreads,"
said LP National Director Steve Dasbach. "The last thing we need is a
bio-engineered killer fungus turned loose on the world."

Late last year, Congress passed legislation that authorized $23
million for research into soil-borne fungi called "mycoherbicides," which will
attack and kill marijuana plants, poppy plants, and coca plants.

When developed, the fungus could be released in such South American
countries as Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, said U.S. officials.

The legislation was guided through Congress by U.S. Representatives
Bill McCollum (R-FL) and Mike DeWine (R-OH), who said the killer fungus was
potentially a "silver bullet" in the War on Drugs.

But Libertarians say the tax-subsidized fungus is a "biohazard" that
could have a disastrous impact on the ecosystems of the target nations -- and,
potentially, the whole world.

"In the government's irresponsible search for a quick-fix in the War
on Drugs, politicians could cause terrifying long-term ecological problems,"
warned Dasbach. According to scientists, the killer fungus could...

* Attack other plants, wiping out valuable cash crops.

"For example, a chemical alkaloid similar to the one that produces
cocaine is present in many legal plants -- including tobacco and coffee
beans," said Dasbach. "In an effort to wipe out drugs, this killer fungus
could wipe out the livelihood of millions of farmers."

* Cause many plants to develop stronger chemical defenses against the
fungus, which could then mutate and spread to other, harmful plants.

"According to scientists, mutated plants could pass on these resistant
genes and create herbicide-resistant weeds, which could have a ruinous effect
on farm yields," he said. "With world hunger already a problem, why risk
making it worse?"

* Wipe out industrial hemp plants, which are legal in every major
industrialized country outside the United States.

"No fungus is smart enough to tell the difference between legal hemp
and illegal marijuana," noted Dasbach. "This fungus could be the biological
warfare equivalent of carpet bombing -- killing whatever is in its

ChipGate 98
***


 API - Time Magazine reports an interesting case of high-tech graffiti.

 It seems that a couple of Intel engineers working on the design of a
 recent version of the Pentium microprocessor included a message that
 describes their feelings about Bill Gates, president of Microsoft, a
 good corporate pal of Intel's.

  When a portion of the Pentium chip is examined under a powerful
 scanning electron microscope, the phrase "bill sux" is clearly visible,
 etched into the surface of the chip.

  The "flaw" in the chip was only discovered by accident well after the
 chip was  released into the market, too late for Intel to prevent the
 chip from being used in the manufacture of tens of thousands of PCs.

  Intel says that both engineers responsible were former employees of
 Motorola, makers of the chips that are the core of the Apple
 Macintosh.

  Both engineers have since been fired by Intel.

To John Bloor, who mistook a tube of superglue for his hemorrhoid cream

Crimewatch Cup

Gold star: To Henry Smith, arrested moments after returning home with a

Silver star:

To Michael Robinson, who rang police to deliver a bomb threat, but became
so agitated about the mounting cost of the call that he began screaming
"Call me back!" and left his phone number.

Bronze star:

To Paul Monkton, who used as his getaway vehicle a van with his name and
phone number painted in foot-high letters on the side.

British Cup

To the passengers on a jam-packed train from Margate to Victoria, who
averted their eyes while John Henderson and Zoe D'Arcy engaged in oral
sex and then moved onto intercourse ... but complained when the pair lit
up post-coital cigarettes in a non-smoking compartment.

Flying Cross

To Percy the Pigeon, who flopped down exhausted in a Sheffield loft,
having beaten 1,000 rivals in a 500 mile race, and was immediately eaten
by a cat. Alas, the 90-minute delay resulting from finding his remains
and handing his ID tag to the judges relegated Percy from first to third
place.

Lazarus Laurel

To Julia Carson, who as her tearful family gathered round her coffin in
a New York funeral parlour, sat bolt upright and asked what the hell was
going on. Celebrations were short-lived, due to the fact that Mrs.Carson's
daughter, Julie, immediately dropped dead from shock.

Silver Bullet

overhanging rock -- and was killed instantly when it fell on him.

Crop Circles:
An Interview with
Dr. Chet Snow
and
Chad Deetken


Dr. Chet Snow and Chad Deetken have spent years attempting to unravel the 
mysteries of the phenomenon known as Crop Circles. While their distinct 
approaches to these formations may initially appear divergent, in essence, much 
of their core understanding and findings are quite similar. In speaking with 
both Dr. Snow and Mr. Deetken, what became immediately apparent was a blending 
of facts and beliefs richly imbued with psychology, hard science, myth, as well 
as ancient and contemporary wisdom. I enjoyed my time with these gentlemen 
immensely and I am deeply grateful that they took time out of their hectic 
schedules to be interviewed.

- Hilary A. Thomas


HT: How did your interest in crop circles begin?

Dr. Snow: This is a little run down of how I got involved with crop circles 
because that is very personal to me. If you had asked me about crop circles ten 
years ago I probably would have had a confused blank look in my eyes and asked, 
What do you mean? A crop running around in circles in a crop 
field? At that time, I wouldnt have had any idea about them. Most 
people that I know, first really became aware of them in the early 1990s. I 
certainly became aware of them in 1990 [December of 1990 or January of 1991] 
when a friend from England, Dean Holden, came to visit and brought me a picture. 
I had never seen them before. I think it is worthwhile to note that it was 
really about that time that the circles became much more pictograms than just 
plain circles, circles in a line or, even circles in a pattern. They suddenly 
became patterns that looked like something and it became very clear that they 
were intelligently made. They werent just a random event out in a field. 
That was the first thing I wanted to say. The second point is that this 
introduction to the crops circles was a very synchronized experience for me. 
Within a month of meeting Dean, the elders from one of the Hopi villages called 
me up to visit them on a completely different matter. Something intuitively said 
to me, Why dont you take these pictures with you? I brought 
the picture when I went to meet them in February of 1991. That was really quite 
an eye-opener for me because suddenly they recognized certain of these patterns 
as having meaning to them. They took us out into a sacred canyon and showed us 
at least one set of petroglyps on the rock wall that really resembled one of the 
crop circle formations that I had shown them. I showed them a couple of other 
pictures with what seemed to be the English peoples interpretation and 
they said, No, no, no. You have to turned it upside down and it means 
something else. They were very excited about them and the fact that they 
were showing up now somewhere else in the world had meaning to them. I was 
excited by their reaction as I am quite interested in the prophetic aspect of 
the Hopi. Later on as I studied more, Ive learned that many of 
agriglyphs, or pictograms, seem to have meaning for other native or indigenous 
people including Australian aborigines. This is when I got involved with crop 
circles. Information about these formation eventually spread wider into our 
Western world maybe even at an unconscious level. People began to see these 
increasingly beautiful and complex formulas. This was a time (1990) when we 
began to get good aerial photos. Suddenly people, maybe even unconsciously, had 
a recognition of something they didnt understand that attracted them. 
Soon the media picked it up on the story. People got involved with wanting to do 
research on them. Then, for what ever reasons, maybe many different ones, many 
people got turned off at a public level. The media certainly got turned off, in 
part because they couldnt solve the mystery. They wanted it all to be 
wrapped up neatly and decided. Who was making them? How were they making them? 
And what was being made? The story of the crop circles didnt unfold that 
neatly. Since that time, it seems as if a very self selected cadre of people of 
no more than 100 to 150 people, seem to be the ones that return year after year. 


HT: Did the Hopi have any specific interpretations about any of the 
circles?

Dr. Snow: One of the sets, the one they got the most excited about, is very 
similar to part of their Creation story. I wont go into all of their 
prophecy but, one of the parts of their prophecy is that we are moving from one 
world civilization to another. We are now in the fourth world, as they call it, 
and we are about to move into the fifth world. One of the sets of events that 
has to happen, or that is prophesied to happen, will be that there will be signs 
around the planet that are showing the recreation of the world starting to 
happen. One of the Hopi creation pictoglyphs is very similar to some of the crop 
circle glyphs that were coming in

U.S. preparing to hit Iraq harder

Response possible to attack or chemical weapons discovery

By JOHN DONNELLY
Herald Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON -- As the United States and Iraq continue skirmishing, the
Clinton administration is preparing for an escalation that would involve
air attacks against Iraq far more severe than the 70-hour Operation
Desert Fox that ended Dec. 19, according to administration officials.

Instead of pinpoint strikes, the administration is ready to carry out
sustained bombing that could last up to three weeks, said three
officials with the State Department and the National Security Council,
who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The attacks would begin if Iraq downed an American or British plane
patrolling the ``no-fly'' zones in southern and northern Iraq.

Other triggers would be if Iraqi President Saddam Hussein threatened the
Kurdish minority in northern Iraq or the neighboring Arab states of
Kuwait or Saudi Arabia, or if the administration learned the Iraqi
leader was reconstituting biological, chemical or ballistic weapons.

The use of sustained strikes would mark a more aggressive policy aimed
at overthrowing Hussein rather than simply isolating his regime, the
officials said.

Few U.S. options remain

Hussein's ability to stay in power has continually frustrated American
policymakers. Now, only a few options remain, including limited
retaliation or stepping up scenarios to overthrow Hussein. As it chooses
the latter, the administration expects a particularly difficult period
ahead.

Following the December bombings and reports this week that the CIA and
the National Security Agency had worked with United Nations weapons
inspectors to listen to conversations among Hussein's elite troops,
administration officials said the best they can expect is a less
intrusive U.N. inspection regime.

Under U.N. resolutions, Iraq must be disarmed before the lifting of
economic sanctions imposed after its invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

``We know that we are going to lose the battle on UNSCOM,'' the U.N.
Special Commission charged with disarming Iraq, one of the national
security officials said.

Richard Butler, the executive chairman of the inspection effort, is
expected to lose  his position because of questions about his
cooperation with American spies, two U.N. Security Council diplomats
said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Hazards of new policy

The new, go-it-alone policy against Hussein is not without potential
pitfalls. For one thing, it is predicated on the Iraqi leader provoking
an attack, which means letting him set the pace. For another, analysts
say, sentiment against the Americans from U.N. Security Council members
France, Russia and China will probably grow if the standoff continues.

Today, some argue, the United States is in a far worse position with
Iraq than a year ago.

``The crises are all driven by Iraq,'' said Laurie Mylorie, publisher of
Iraq News, an online newsletter that closely monitors developments
there. ``Who would have thought a year ago that UNSCOM would be gone.
That's a significant change [working] against the United States.''

But others see factors mounting against Hussein.

Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, head of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf, said
Friday that Hussein had revealed some vulnerability about security in
southern Iraq by executing key military commanders during or after the
bombing raids.

``I think there is some confusion in the ranks and some
disgruntlement,'' Zinni said, referring to Iraqi troops in the south.

Re: [CTRL] Iraq inspectors seem guilty of spying

 -Caveat Lector-

It is becoming increasing clear to me that Saddam is being set up.  Now,
before people start gnashing teeth, I think one of the reasons he was
"selected" is because of his willingness to the more nefarious things he is
being credited with doing.

Some of you may recall (and my memory is fuzzy on this because it was so
long ago) that a year before the Desert Storm (not Fox) Saddam approached
the US government to mediate a dispute he was having with Kuwait.  He said
that they were stealing Iraqi oil (and I don't remember the details of how
this was being done.  I believe through the pipeline that runs through
Kuwait).  Basically, Bush brushed him off and told Saddam to deal with it
himself.  Which, of course, he did.

So, IF Saddam is being set up, I want to know to what end.  If it were
simply a matter of "eliminating" him that would have been done long ago
despite being told how difficult it is to locate him.

Alamaine,

I couldn't remember if it were horizontal drilling or tapping into the
pipeline.  In either case, Saddam did make the effort to go through proper
channels.  We can only second guess why Bush brushed him off, why he went to
the US (perhaps knowing he wouldn't get assistance??? or it may have been a
genuine request for help).  I can't recall if he approached the UN or not.

I think Saddam's claim was the Kuwaitis were engaged in horizontal drilling

  As I recall from running the numbers the Chama NM/CO tunnel is 12.6 miles

it has something to do with water...although you never know.

It's listed as being near the San Juan river so it could have been used, or
is still being used, to divert water.  This is cattle country.  I'm sure
many (if not all) of these tunnels are for utility purposes.  Though I do
question A LOT, I don't see a conspiracy with each and every event.

  If you happen to be in the area sometime, I would be curious as to
what the locals say.

Chama is only about 30 minutes from here so, the locals here should know.
I'll ask around.

  Up in Idaho in a little town on I-15 between Idaho Falls and the Montana
border is a  town called Dubois.  Just north of Dubois is a large Dept of
Agriculture "sheep station."
To set the flavor of this  picture the Dept  of Agriculture station which
was
used as a cover for a circular underground lab which worked on viruses
and such in the movie Andromeda Strain.

Yikes!!!  That's nice to have in one's backyard.  I used to live near
Washington, D.C. and was in the area when there was "that minor incident"
with the ebola virus.


 When you talk to the folks in Dubois (of which the small community
supposedly depends on sheep station money for its small economy) nobody
and I mean absolutely NOBODY has any clue what is done, other then to say
something  about "sheep research."When you ask some locals the question
"do you have family that works there?"  The answer seems to be "yes, but
they
don't
talk about it"
Usually is one newspaper article  a year about some sheep this or that and
that is the size of it.
  Then you have the LA County Dept of Corrections (Yup you read it right,
Los Angles Calif) BUS that appears in Dubois during the night about twice
a year or so.  Apparently the bus stays for "a couple of weeks" then it
drives
off again in the middle of the night.  Supposedly nobody knows who the
driver
is, why the bus is their, or 'who' comes in the bus but they are so used to
its
appearance that it isn't given a 2nd thought.

Prisoners have been used as test subjects before.  H...that is
interesting.


   Probably just as strange as a 12.6 mile tunnel out in the middle of no
where. :)

Yeah, it's a little weird and may have a completely reasonable explanation
for being there.  Things do happen in these small southwest towns.  12 of
the 80 some members of the Colorado cult (now dispersed all over the world)
came from here.  The employer of one of the young women had very nice things
to say about her but, that she had seen some changes taking place a year or
so before she joined the cult.  For reasons of confidentially, I won't go
into details.  It's typical cult stuff - no big secrets.

and
Sharmak apologized for
his mistake.
  3) The remote viewers told us that they had RV'ed how the earth, when it
transversed through the path of Hale Bopp was going to get some type of
pathagon which would destory all grass and other green plant life.  Never
Happened.
   4) We had remote viewers all extolling why the other remote viewers were

[CTRL] Alien Space Worm

1999-01-07 Thread Hilary Thomas






Alien Space Worm
by Hilary A. Thomas
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I learned that the impeachment trial would be televised I did what any 
concerned citizen would do. I drove an hour to the nearest appliance store and 
bought a TV. Of course, being the techno whiz that I am, it took hours and 
several embarrassingly pathetic phone calls to get the darn thing set up. In 
truth, after a quick trip to the local hardware store (because one can never 
have too much cable) and then a return trip (to get the correct cable), I had it 
all plugged in and fired up in less than 10 hours. But, I digress.
One would think that on the long drive through the Southwest desert in search 
of a TV my thoughts would take a philosophical turn or, at the very least, 
contemplate the woes that Americas will collectively face with the forthcoming 
impeachment trial. Fortunately, my alert mind focused on more important matters 
like the television show X-Files. In particular, I recalled an episode where sex 
bomb FBI special agent Dana Scully brandished two X-ray films clutched in her 
hot little hands and dramatically announced that part of her DNA was alien (and 
were not talking south of the border here). No, were talking about 
an alien space worm she discovered in her terrestrial travels.
Now, I took it in stride that Scully was part alien. In fact, I believe my 
exact thoughts at that moment were, Cool. Since I view much of the 
Hollywood scene as living on a different planet, this was no stretch for me. I 
did, however, take great exception to the way science was presented in this 
episode.
As I recall, Scully had a two hour time frame to do all the necessary lab 
work and get to her meeting. Anyone who has lived within a hundred mile radius 
of Washington, D. C. knows that it takes two hours to get across the street let 
alone across town. However, being in a generous mood, I will assume that some 
miracle befalls our heroic agent and that she is able to by pass that 
troublesome commute thing.
This brings us back to the lab and some of the technical stuff (my forte!). 
Dana wanted to test the alien DNA. Basically, she was looking for some kind of 
pattern that would help her identify it. A more definitive test would have been 
DNA sequencing but that would take years and hundreds of scientists and more 
importantly this approach would leave the viewing audience scrambling for their 
remote controls. So, I can live with her going for a pattern. Now you just 
cant throw a worm under a microscope and see its DNA. You need to dig 
around in it and pull some of that stuff out. Again, being a magnanimous type 
person, Ill overlook the pesky task of getting rid of the tissue and I 
will assume that Scully has in her possession a big ol hunk of DNA. Now 
if she were to cut the DNA as it is and it showed the same pattern as her DNA 
then this would mean that she is, in fact, an alien space worm. Since we know 
that this isnt the case, I strongly suspect several steps in this process 
were left out. In fact, it would take many, many extraction procedures to obtain 
a portion of DNA with each stage taking all day to complete. So, lets assume 
that with the magic of Hollywood Scully has indeed only a portion of DNA. And 
again, with the wonder of Hollywood, Ill grant that all the interim tasks 
to arrive at the fateful X-rays films are completed in a timely fashion. Perhaps 
they performed this lab work in another dimension which would explain a lot 
about the show in general!
For those who saw this episode, you may recall that each of the X-ray films 
had two black blobs positioned next to each other. While it looked pretty nifty, 
it neglected to show a pattern which was the entire point of the experiment! 
Im also assuming that one of the black blobs on each of the films was a 
control sample, as all good scientists run controls. After looking at these 
films, it showed that Scullys DNA, the alien spaces worm DNA and 
the control were all the same. My final question would have to be, what the heck 
did she use as a control sample? Maybe she used sex bomb FBI special agent Fox 
Mulders sisters DNA as a control. Of course, this means that Dana 
and Fox could never be a couple as they would, in fact, be brother and 
sister.

[CTRL] Clinton Projects $76B Surplus

1999-01-06 Thread Hilary Thomas





Suddenly we no longer have a deficit? Gee when 
did this happen? The title of this article should be, I can give you 
up to $76B if you keep me in office.

JANUARY 06, 11:08 
EST
Clinton Projects $76B Surplus 

WASHINGTON (AP)  The administration today projected a budget surplus 
of more than $76 billion for this year. ``We can say the era of big deficits is 
over,'' President Clinton said. 
The president, convening a White House ceremony to tout the figure, 
immediately squelched any speculation that the extra revenue would be used to 
cut taxes. 
``Like any family with long-term financial needs and a little more earnings 
than we expected, we can't go out and spend the surplus today. We have to plan 
for the future,'' said Clinton. 
``Before we consider any new spending or tax cuts, first we must set this 
surplus aside until we save Social Security for the 21st century.'' He also 
cited ``investment needs'' in education and health research. 
The administration's Office of Management and Budget released its latest 
forecast for fiscal 1999, bringing the projected size of the surplus  for 
the budget year ending Sept. 30  closer to congressional estimates of 
about $80 billion. 
The administration's newest estimate is significantly higher than its 
analysis last year, which estimated a fiscal 1999 surplus of $54.2 billion. 
``We can say the era of big deficits is over. We are now entering the second 
year of an era of surpluses,'' Clinton said. He noted that when he took office 
in 1993, the fiscal 1999 projections were for a $404 billion deficit. 
The Congressional Budget Office is due to release its own projections later 
this month, in advance of the president's annual budget submission to Congress. 
In its August update, CBO was even more optimistic than the president's budget 
analysts, projecting an $80 billion surplus for fiscal 1999.

MOSCOW (AP) -- A plan to educate a group of 
orangutans on the joys of family life by watching television backfired after the 
apes became more interested in the tube than each other, The Moscow Times 
reported today. 
The newspaper said keepers at the St. Petersburg Zoo rigged up a TV outside 
the cage of orangutans Monika and Rabu to show them videos on being good 
parents. They took the step after the apes had a baby, Ramon, in November, but 
then started to neglect their offspring. 
Rabu, the male orangutan, became so engrossed in watching TV that he started 
to ignore his mate, Monika, who became upset over his neglect, the paper said. 
``We'll reduce the time of TV watching in order to keep the family 
together,'' zoo director Ivan Korneyev was quoted as saying.

[CTRL] Pesticide Exposure Affects Male Fertility

1999-01-05 Thread Hilary Thomas




Thursday December 31 3:57 PM ET 
Pesticide exposure affects male fertility
NEW YORK, Dec 31 (Reuters Health) -- A class of pesticides widely used in the 
developing world may disrupt men's reproductive hormone levels and contribute to 
fertility problems, according to a study in the December issue of the Journal of 
Occupational and Environmental Medicine. 
Previous research findings have suggested that exposure to organophosphate 
pesticides -- such as methyl- and ethylparathion -- can disrupt fertility. In 
experiments with mice, researchers found that exposure to methylparathion was 
associated with abnormal sperm production. 
In the new study, Dr. Xiping Xu of the Harvard School of Public Health in 
Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues measured pesticide byproducts and 
reproductive hormone levels in urine, blood, and semen samples from 34 Chinese 
men working in a factory producing organophosphate pesticides, and 44 Chinese 
men working in a textile factory. 
After controlling for the men's ages, smoking habits and other factors that 
can affect hormonal levels, the researchers found that men who had relatively 
high levels of exposure to the pesticides showed small but significant sex 
hormone abnormalities. Among other things, these men produced decreased levels 
of testosterone. The greater the exposure, the greater the abnormalities. 
``We conclude that organophosphate pesticides have a small effect on male 
reproductive hormones,'' Xu and colleagues write. To the best of their 
knowledge, this is the first study that examines the effects of organophosphate 
pesticide exposure on the reproductive hormones of pesticide factory workers. 
Further study, with a larger group of men, is warranted to clarify the 
pesticides' effects on both hormone levels and reproductive function, they 
conclude.

Topic: White Water 
Written in Blood (An Interview with Michael Sullivan)

January Magazine 
Written In Blood 
Interview with Michael Sullivan, by Linda Richards 
He doesn't look like a lunatic. Crisply dressed and coifed, his blue eyes 
smile quickly -- though not for our cameras -- and his graying-blond hair 
stays neatly placed. He is, he tells me, a son of the south and this is verified 
by his voice: as close to clipped as a southern accent gets. An educated 
voice, certainly. But one that is, nonetheless, punctuated by the region 
that spawned him. He does not wear a white suit, but if he did it wouldn't 
look strange. In short, he doesn't look or sound at all like someone 
hatching a plot or grinding an ax, though looks can be deceiving. 
If half of the things Michael Sullivan is saying are true, the 
Clinton-Lewinsky scandal starts to look like a children's sandbox creation. 
Interesting for a while, but more crumble than substance. If it's not true, it 
still seems likely that Sullivan is going to sell a lot of books. 
I want to go on record as saying I am not planning on committing 
suicide, Sullivan says earnestly. I plan to live a long, long 
time. 
My interview with Sullivan did not go at all as planned. I arrived expecting 
to speak with the author of an interesting new suspense novel. I planned to 
talk to him about his writing process and perhaps his life, interests and 
favorite pets. The last thing I'd anticipated was being led down a dark path 
of conspiracy featuring some of the largest characters in international 
politics: especially some of those who (ahem) have been getting a lot of 
press in recent months. 
I had, of course, noticed some more than fleeting similarities between one of 
Blood Trail's major characters and a certain former governor from Arkansas. 
This I put down to the richness of fiction and the fact that Sullivan is a 
native of that state. 
However, it would seem that Sullivan's interest runs less to literature than 
it does to high level machinations: at least in this instance. With some 
passion Sullivan spoke at length about what led him to write Blood Trail. 
The fictional work focuses on two men from Arkansas. Robert Davis Prescott 
has been groomed almost from birth to take a place in American history. 
David Farr is the Vietnam Vet whose son is stricken with AIDS from a blood 
transfusion given to him in Canada. Farr wants to find out who is 
responsible, and is somewhat surprised when the trail -- the Blood Trail, if 
you will -- leads back to his home state and eventually to the White House 
and Prescott. 
Sullivan -- though it's not the writer's real name, and he's not talking -- 
is a doctor who says he was a medical practitioner for the Arkansas prison 
system between 1982 and, off and on, to the present time. He says 
that he knew that blood was being drawn from sick and infected Arkansas 
prisoners but he didn't know where the blood was being sold and distributed. 
In 1995, says Sullivan, he learned about infections and death in Canada, 
where the Arkansas blood had ended up. Sullivan says he became determined to 
find out more. The result of that research, says Sullivan, is in the novel Blood 
Trail. A story that while it's almost unbelievable, Sullivan says only 
begins to scratch the surface of the truth. 
Linda Richards: So is Bob Prescott's resemblance to Bill Clinton 
unintentional? 
Michael Sullivan: I had certain information when I started the book. 
Actually, not very much. I worked in the system. I knew they were taking 
blood from very sick people. I knew the group was basically corrupt. And it 
wasn't until years later that I realized that they didn't have a way to 
clean up. It was not until 1995 and the initial Krever investigation was 
kicked off that one article appeared in the Associated Press that said that 
tainted blood in Canada had been taken from Arkansas prisoners. And I said, 
'God Almighty!' because I'd forgotten about it. I was in it. I knew certain 
things. You know, it was like this huge guilt rush hit me because I hadn't 
investigated it. That's not my specialty. I just assumed mistakenly that 
they had a way to manufacture some kind of clean product. 
Suddenly I remembered how Clinton had stood in and protected the HMA [Health 
Management Associates] through everything. Because they'd come under fire 
not because of plasma but because they hired drug addicts and they hired 
guys that had lost their medical licenses and several other things, especially 
dealing with narcotics. They'd come under fire from the media. Clinton had

right mind would do, there's nothing worse than guilt by association.

That's what McCarthyism was about.  Somebody would merely say they saw
you talking to a communist, and then next thing you know all the good
writers in Hollywood get blacklisted, and pretty soon [The Waterboy] is
number one at the box office.

Oh the humanity.

So guilt by association is bad.

Not as bad as dating a model.

But it's bad.

But it's different if the person in question, say, actually chooses to
attend communist party meetings, contributes a column to a communist
journal, and lets his name be used to promote communist causes, all with
full knowledge of what it's about.  Then it's no more of a stretch to
say he supports the communist party than it is to say that Castro
supports the cigar industry, Casey Kasem supports pop music, and Pauly
Shore supports comedy.  None of them have anything directly to do with
the enterprise, but their efforts suggest more than a passing interest,
futile though it may be.

With me so far?  There's something just like that, but different, to
talk about.

There's a group called the Council of Conservative Citizens you might
want to know about.  They [call] themselves conservative, but check
their website at www.cofcc.org, and you'll see that they're a direct
descendant of the White Citizens groups who so bitterly fought against
civil rights and equality for all Americans.  One click from the CCC
homepage brings you to screeds exposing the alleged dark secrets of
Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King and even calling for a second
Civil War to preserve the white race.  The page also maintains direct
links to the National Front, an openly and unashamedly fascist group,
and a bunch of white supremacist newsletters and organizations.

Suppose for a minute that some prominent national leader, like say
President Clinton, endorsed that group, had close family who belonged,
spoke several times at their functions, and contributed to their
newsletter.  And suppose that the guy's spokesman misled the press to
cover it up?  Wouldn't you want to know?

Suppose for a minute that the information was publicized in one of the
biggest newspapers in America.  Wouldn't you expect there to be a
firestorm of protest from the "liberal" media?  Wouldn't the decent
people who make up most of this country demand a full explanation and
possibly a resignation?

You'd think, wouldn't you?

OK.  Trent Lott.  The Senate Majority Leader.  He's really tight with
the Council of Conservative Citizens.

That's every bit as newsworthy as who anybody is sleeping with, isn't
it?

I mean, [isn't it?]

Thai scientists plan to clone rare white elephant   January 4, 1999

Scientists in Thailand are hoping to bring back a royal elephant that
died more than a hundred years ago. They hope to clone the white
elephant from its remains which have been preserved in alcohol for
posterity.

"If possible, we scientists hope to clone this elephant since it is the
best one ever found in the country," Chisanu Tiyscharoensri at Mahidol
University's Institute of Science and Technology for Research and
Development in Bangkok told the Bangkok Post.

"Entirely white" and "extremely rare", the animal belonged to the 19th
century monarch, King Rama III, who ruled Thailand from 1824 to 1851.

The elephant is Thailand's national symbol, but deforestation and
poaching are causing its numbers to dwindle. The white elephant –
characterized by its lighter-coloured skin – is rare. Believed to bring
good luck, all white elephants in Thailand are automatically the
property of the Royal family.

Inspired by Japanese scientists who are attempting to resurrect the
mammoth, the team of scientists at Mahidol University has already
succeeded in cloning a cow and hope their ten-year project will bring
back a truly white-coloured elephant.

But, their hope may remain just that – hope.

"No one has ever succeeded in reconstructing a cell from preserved DNA,"
says Dave Evans, acting chair of molecular biology and genetics at the
University of Guelph. "People have been suggesting that they might get
mammoths back from [the remains of] frozen mammoths. But, even with
frozen cells, they're so badly damaged by the freezing, the basic
chromosomal structure is all degraded."

And alcohol would degrade the genetic material required for a
successful  cloning too, says Evans.

"Alcohol is used as a preservative because it's a dehydrating agent,"
says Evans. He can't see how the nucleus (which contains all the genetic
material) of any of the elephant's cells could remain intact when
alcohol kills the lipid membranes which make the nucleus.

While Evans points out that scientists have recovered some genes from
old DNA and have even sequenced them from the frozen mammoths which
roamed the Earth tens of thousands of years ago, he predicts it will be
a long time before we're able to recover the nucleus required to clone
an animal from such an old specimen.

[CTRL] Court to Hear Trade Center Dispute

Court to Hear Trade Center Dispute 

By Joel 
StashenkoAssociated Press 
WriterMonday, January 4, 1999; 
10:44 a.m. EST 
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York's highest 
court will hear arguments this week into whether the operator of the World Trade 
Center must turn over documents to victims of the 1993 bombing about the 
complex's vulnerability to such attacks. 
Lawyers for victims of the attack, which killed six people and injured 1,000, 
are suing the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the center. 
They contend that the agency had been warned as early as 1985 about the 
complex's susceptibility to a bomb attack in its underground parking garages. 
Victor Kovner, a lawyer for a coalition of bombing victims, will argue before 
the Court of Appeals on Tuesday that the 62 documents are ``pivotal'' to proving 
that the Port Authority is liable for damages because of its alleged negligence 
at responding to security concerns. 
The Port Authority has argued unsuccessfully before two lower courts that the 
documents the victims are seeking are confidential communications, exempt 
because disclosure could harm the public interest. 
Port Authority lawyer Milton Pachter plans to argue that releasing the 
documents ``would create a serious danger to the members of the public'' because 
terrorists could glean information to aid a future attack. 
Kovner counters that the Port Authority is seeking a ``radical and 
unwarranted expansion of the bounds of privilege.'' 
Included in group bringing the suit are relatives of those killed, people who 
were injured and companies which say they lost millions by being displaced from 
the building in the weeks following the blast. 
Four militant Muslims said they plotted the bombing to protest the United 
States' foreign policy in the Middle East. They were each sentenced to 240 years 
in prison. 
The victims say the most damning documents held by the Port Authority are 
consultants' analyses of an in-house security study conducted in 1985. That 
report said the center's underground garages posed a security problem and 
recommended measures such as random inspection of vehicles for explosives. The 
bombers left the explosives in a rental van parked in one of the lots. 
Lower courts have ruled that the documents must largely be released, except 
for some sensitive information about police informants. 
The Court of Appeals is expected to rule on the case within a few months.

S.Korea to Repay $1 Billion to IMF 
Monday, January 4, 1999; 7:30 a.m. EST 
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- South Korea will 
repay $1 billion more in loans from the International Monetary Fund this week, 
the Ministry of Finance and Economy said today. 
The government will repay the loan on its maturing date Friday, ministry 
officials said. 
It will be South Korea's second repayment to the IMF, following a payment of 
$2.8 billion in December. 
South Korea was forced to accept an IMF loan in late 1997 to bail out its 
faltering economy, but has received only $28.7 billion of the $58 billion 
package. 
The nation began repaying part of the money last month as its trade and 
current account surpluses grew.

[CTRL] Bin Laden, Saddam Team for Terror

1999-01-04 Thread Hilary Thomas







BIN LADEN, SADDAM TEAM FOR 
TERRORBy TOM TOPOUSIS THE NEW 
YORK POST

Saddam Hussein is joining forces with Islamic 
fundamentalist Osama bin Laden to launch a joint terror counterstrike against 
the United States and Britain, a new report says. 
Feeling the sting of a U.S. bombing campaign, Saddam has reached out to the 
millionaire mastermind of the two U.S. embassy bombings in Africa - hoping to 
tap into bin Laden's network of terrorists, Newsweek says in this week's 
edition. 
An Arab intelligence expert, reported to know Saddam personally, told the 
magazine that very soon, you will be witnessing large-scale terrorist 
activity by the Iraqis. 
The source claims that the joint attacks would be aimed primarily at U.S. and 
British targets in the Islamic world. 
The contacts between Saddam and bin Laden have so far been limited to 
lower-level agents, according to U.S. intelligence sources cited by the 
magazine. 
An alliance would match Saddam's weapons - including easy-to-hide biological 
agents - and bin Laden's force of terror zealots. 
Bin Laden is known to have coveted biological and chemical weapons. 
A U.S. cruise-missile attack against bin Laden targeted a factory that he 
owns in Sudan, where the United States believes he was trying to manufacture 
chemical weapons. 
In an interview with Newsweek at his desert camp in Afghanistan, bin Laden 
confirmed that civilian Americans are as much a target as the military or 
government agencies. 
Muslim scholars have issued [a religious order] against any American 
who pays taxes to his government, said bin Laden. He is our target, 
because he is helping the American war machine against the Muslim nation. 
Bin Laden has been waging a public-relations war, granting interviews to both 
Newsweek and Time magazines. 
Clutching an AK-47 automatic rifle at his side, bin Laden conceded to Time 
that he instigated the attack on the embassies in Kenya and 
Tanzania. But he falls short of taking the blame. 
Our job is to instigate and, by the grace of God, we did that, 
said bin Laden. 
I did not order [the attacks], but was very glad for what happened to 
the American spies in East Africa, the Saudi exile told Newsweek. 
Meanwhile, U.N. officials are trying to convince Baghdad not to ban American 
and British nationals from working on humanitarian teams in Iraq. 
The talks are aimed at averting a new crisis just two weeks after the United 
States and Britain ended airstrikes to punish Baghdad for refusing to cooperate 
with U.N. weapons inspections. 
The U.N. officials said Baghdad told them it was concerned for the safety of 
Americans and Britons in Iraq after the raids, and would not renew visas for 
them. 
Diplomats said Iraq's decision could affect 18 American and British citizens 
working throughout Iraq for the U.N. humanitarian programs.

[CTRL] Pentagon Racing to Prepare for 2000

Pentagon racing to 
prepare for 2000



Nearly everything in 
military dependent on computers



By Jim 
MiklaszewskiNBC 
NEWS





WASHINGTON, Dec. 
31  If you use a computer at all 
 chances are youve heard about the year 2000 problem, 
the so-called Millennium Bug  a computer glitch that could 
lead to shutdowns, lockouts and global panic. The American military 
is almost completely reliant on computers and, because of that, 
finds itself in a situation both vulnerable and 
dangerous.





EVERYTHING IN Americas military 
arsenal  whether it shoots, floats, flies, or marches  
relies on computers. But a 
once-in-a-century computer glitch, known in the Pentagon as the 
Millennium Bomb, could bring this mighty war machine to a 
halt. If we left 
things as they are right now the military would effectively shut 
down, said Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, who chairs a 
committee on the year 2000 
problem. 1900 OR 
2000? They would 
shut down because most computers use only the last two digits of the 
calendar year  so when the year 2000 rolls around, 
theyll read zero-zero as the year 
1900.







  

 
In high-risk military operations, that could be 
deadly. Somewhere, 
someplace, there will be people who die as a result of the Y2K 
problem, said 
Bennett. The scope of the 
Pentagons problem is mind-boggling  all told, 25,000 
separate computer systems could be 
affected. Were 
doing our best but theyre going to be some nasty surprises 
because the problem is so big, said John Hambre, a deputy 
Defense Secretary. Aircraft and ships could be sent off course, 
cruise missiles may not find their targets, satellite data could be 
lost. THE NUCLEAR 
ISSUE 

















 A priority, of course, 
is repairing the computers that control nuclear weapons. Hambre, 
though, vows that those programs will be 
fixed. But what about other 
nuclear powers? The North American Air Defense Command, deep beneath 
a Colorado mountain, will stand watch against a missile attack. The 
Pentagon wants to share this early warning information with Russia 
and China, because if their computers go blank at midnight 2000, 
they could accidentally surmise theyre under nuclear 
attack. Because of 
anxieties about the possibilities of a sneak attack, forces could be 
ordered to a higher state of alert level that could lead to 
accidental war, said John Pike, from the Federation of 
American Scientists. 
$4 BILLION PRICE 
TAG The Pentagon 
will spend at least $4 billion to defuse the Millennium bomb and 
officials in Washington are confident theyll do it. But 
critics claim they started too late and the fixes wont be 
done in time. The cost of 
failure could be much higher. 
 If the Pentagon needed any 
reminder, it is the 28 American soldiers killed by an Iraqi scud 
during the Gulf War. The Patriot anti-missile battery that might 
have saved them, failed, in part, because its computer clocks were 
out of sync. Its 
something Americas military leaders are determined to never 
let happen again.

[CTRL] Warning Against Khmer Rouge Trial

1999-01-01 Thread Hilary Thomas




Friday, January 1, 1999 Published at 14:51 
GMT BBC Online NewsWorld: Asia-PacificWarning against Khmer Rouge 
trial A warning not to put on trial two leading figures 
in Cambodia's reign of terror in the 1970s has been issued by an aide to the 
men. 
The aide, Long Norin, said a trial of the two defecting Khmer Rouge leaders 
would expose the role of foreign powers in Cambodia - specifically the United 
States and China. 
A lot of people are involved and it's very complicated. If they push 
for this, we will dig up the past and present our own case, he said. 






There have been growing calls for the 
two men - Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea - to be tried on genocide charges for 
their actions in the Khmer Rouge government, which is held responsible for the 
deaths of an estimated 1.7 million people. 
The leaders surrendered to the Cambodian Government late last week after 
striking a deal with Prime Minister Hun Sen. 
There has been controversy over the warm welcome given to the two men by the 
authorities. They have been on a trip to the seaside and had lunch at the prime 
minister's residence. 
Hun Sen has said it would not be in the national interest to hold a trial. 
Correspondents say he may be under pressure from states like China and Thailand 
to avoid a hearing. 
However, on Friday he attacked Thailand for hosting the leaders and forcing 
him to accept defections rather than having them stand trial, French news agency 
AFP reported. 
King Norodom Sihanouk and his son, the ousted prime minister Prince Norodom 
Ranariddh, have said they support the idea of an international trial. Several 
members of the king's family were killed by the Khmer Rouge. 
The US, Britain and France have all issued strong statements saying that 
leaders of the Khmer Rouge must be held accountable for their action. 
Experts hired by the United Nations are looking at the possibility of an 
international tribunal, along the lines of those for Rwanda and Bosnia. 
They are due to report next month, but BBC Cambodia Correspondent Caroline 
Gluck says without the full co-operation of the Cambodian Government it will be 
hard to see how that might happen. 
Khieu Samphan, former nominal leader of the Khmer Rouge, and Nuon Chea, the 
movement's chief ideologue, were key figures in Cambodia's reign of 
terror.

DECEMBER 28, 07:37 
EST
The Dubious Achievement Awards 
By LARRY BLASKOAssociated 
Press Writer 
For journalists, year's end is a time of reflection, which takes much less 
energy than actually reporting something. That leaves time for other worthy 
pursuits, such as celebrating at holiday parties. 
In that spirit, a glass or two is hereby raised to this year's winners of the 
CompuBug Dubious Achievement awards for Determined Dumbness in software and 
hardware. 
The Practice Makes Perfect award goes to Microsoft for Windows 98, which 
fixed some of Windows 95's bugs and introduced a swarm of its own. 
The I Knew I Forgot Something award goes to Apple Computer, which introduced 
its much-touted iMac without a floppy disk drive. Clearly, the ``Think 
Different'' crowd never takes work home. Of course, for $150, you can add an 
external floppy drive, just like you could 20 years ago, before it became 
standard equipment. 
With the minimum system requirements for everything from games to 
productivity software roaring past the 166-megahertz Pentium/32 megabytes of RAM 
mark, the Immoderation in All Things award is shared by the entire software 
industry. While we all would like to upgrade our machines every six months, many 
of us have other financial obligations, including children, a mortgage and such. 

The software industry also wins the Punishing Profligate Packaging award for 
surrounding 5-inch-wide CD-ROMs with enough cardboard to deforest Canada, much 
of it inside in sadistic origami creations that aren't going to let go of the 
software without inflicting at least a paper cut. And we really needed the 
latest trend: box-cover flaps, some with multiple pages, touting the product. 
Quick, go hug a tree while there are still some left. 
The Yes, We Have No Bananas award goes to software manufacturers whose only 
installation and help instructions are online. If we could get the doggone stuff 
to install, we wouldn't need the help! 
The Chicken Little Marketing award goes to those who raise the grim vision of 
the end of computing in Year 2000 unless you do a ``system audit'' with a 
product that, coincidentally, they sell. 
The Al Capone Financing Genius award goes to those computer manufacturers 
that are pushing leasing programs to increase their market share, thereby making 
it possible for consumers to pay much more for a computer than it would cost to

[CTRL] Oklahoma Bomb Jury to Issue Report

Oklahoma Bomb Jury To Issue Report 

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)  Eighteen months and 117 witnesses after it began 
its work, a grand jury investigating allegations of a wider conspiracy and a 
government cover-up in the Oklahoma bombing is expected to release its findings 
Wednesday. 
The Oklahoma County grand jury was convened by way of a petition drive over 
the objections of state Attorney General Drew Edmondson, who called it ``the 
worst kind of conspiracy pandering.'' And both he and the chief federal 
prosecutor in Oklahoma expressed doubt anything would come out of the 
investigation. 
Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols have already been convicted on federal 
charges in the bombing. McVeigh received a death sentence, Nichols life in 
prison. An Army buddy, Michael Fortier, pleaded guilty to knowing about the 
attack beforehand but telling no one. He got 12 years in prison. 
Former state Rep. Charles Key, one of the leaders of the petition drive to 
empanel the grand jury, has said he believes that the federal government knew 
about the bombing beforehand and that others were involved but have not been 
arrested. The government has denied any prior knowledge. 
Key said his efforts were worth it no matter what the outcome. 
``It's always worth it to do the right thing. That's what I and the rest of 
us who have worked on this feel. We've done the right thing for the right 
reason,'' the former legislator said. 
The grand jury has the power to indict, but Bob Macy, the district attorney 
in Oklahoma City, has already said he will bring murder charges against McVeigh 
and Nichols, and the grand jury focused instead on other possible figures. 
U.S. Attorney Patrick Ryan, who prosecuted McVeigh and Nichols, has said that 
the government had ``no credible evidence to suggest that others were 
involved.'' 
And Edmondson said he believes the odds are slim the grand jury investigation 
will shed any additional light on the April 19, 1995, attack that killed 168 
people and injured more than 500 others. 
``I will be amazed if they suggest by name any people involved in the bombing 
that are not even known,'' Edmondson said. 
As of October, the cost of the grand jury was put at nearly $414,000. 
In October, the grand jury complained of attempts to contact members at home 
and of erroneous claims about what some witnesses would say.

[CTRL] Bank Sues Hubbell for Overdue Money

Bank Sues Hubbell for Overdue Money 

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)  Presidential friend Webster Hubbell has been 
sued by the Bank of Little Rock, which claims he owes at least $43,604 on a 1997 
promissory note. 
Frederick S. Wetzel III, attorney for Bank of Little Rock, said the money 
stems from a second mortgage on the Hubbells' Little Rock home. 
The total owed by Hubbell and his wife, Suzanna, was calculated through Dec. 
15, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in Pulaski County Circuit Court. Each 
day they fail to pay adds $11.95 in interest, the lawsuit said. 
Hubbell, a former top Justice Department official, was indicted by a federal 
grand jury for a third time in November on charges that he covered up his and 
Hillary Rodham Clinton's roles in a fraudulent Arkansas real estate development 
deal. They were partners at the Rose Law Firm at the time. 
The indictment accuses Hubbell of perjury before a congressional committee, 
fraud, false statements and impeding two federal regulatory agencies. 
A federal judge in July threw out a 10-count tax-evasion indictment against 
Hubbell. Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr has appealed that dismissal. 
Hubbell pleaded guilty to tax evasion and mail fraud in December 1994 after 
admitting to overbilling his clients at the Rose Law Firm. He served 19 months 
in prison before his release in February 1997.

[CTRL] Critics Cite Iran Weapons Loophole

1998-12-29 Thread Hilary Thomas





DECEMBER 28, 12:48 
EST
Critics Cite Iran Weapons Loophole 
By GEORGE GEDDAAssociated 
Press Writer 
WASHINGTON (AP)  Recent statements by an Iranian official have critics 
worried that Iran may exploit a loophole in the chemical weapons convention 
treaty approved last year  one insisted on by conservative U.S. senators. 

Citing these recent statements, some disarmament experts say the Tehran 
government could take advantage of conditions that were meant to protect U.S. 
interests. 
``We have provided Iran a loophole to cheat,'' said Amy Smithson, a weapons 
expert at the Henry L. Stimson Institute. 
U.S. officials had hoped the August 1997 inauguration of President Mohammad 
Khatami, widely perceived as a moderate, could lead to an Iranian reassessment 
of its weapons programs. Not long after Khatami took office, in November 1997, 
Iran ratified the chemical weapons convention. 
The treaty bans the use, development, production and stockpiling of all 
chemical warfare agents and requires the destruction of existing stockpiles over 
10 years. 
The U.S. Senate ratified the treaty in April 1997, only after Sen. Jesse 
Helms, R-N.C. and his allies set conditions for U.S. participation, including 
giving the president the right to veto inspections at suspect sites and barring 
inspectors from taking soil or other types of samples from U.S. chemical 
facilities out of the country. 
Marc Thiessen, a Helms spokesman, said, ``The provisions are designed to stop 
the treaty from being used for corporate espionage and other forms of 
espionage.'' 
Some arms control advocates believe the administration gave away too much to 
Helms in the negotiations. 
Iran had remained largely silent on the issue until a few weeks ago, when 
Iranian diplomat Mohammad R. Alborozi spoke in the Netherlands at a conference 
of states that are members of the convention. 
Alborozi quickly took aim at the conditions imposed by the U.S. Senate. 
Expressing regret over the measures, he said ``that the spillover effect of such 
an exercise ... can open the door for legislative bodies of other countries to 
seek derogation from the convention is a matter of serious concern for all state 
parties. 
``If other states follow this pattern, then any outlook for full and 
unconditional implementation of the provisions of the convention will be in 
jeopardy. This we regard as a seriously alarming matter.'' 
At the same time, Alborozi said his government has decided to ``exercise and 
demonstrate maximum transparency and determination for full compliance with the 
provisions of the Convention.'' 
Alborozi did not say whether Iran currently retains a chemical weapons 
production capability. 
Smithson said the Iranian comments were not reassuring, and that by taking a 
cue from Washington, Iran is in effect saying it too could block a challenge 
inspection on the basis of national security interests. 
Spurgeon Keeny, of the Arms Control Association, agreed: ``When we exempt 
ourselves from certain provisions, we're inviting Iran or other countries to 
question our seriousness.'' 
A Clinton administration official acknowledged that the conditions leave 
Washington ill-positioned to argue that other states don't have the same right. 
Despite the conditions, the official said, the United States believes it can 
faithfully comply with the treaty and will do so. 
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Iran's willingness to 
abide by the treaty has been in doubt since the beginning. He said Iran's 
membership in the Non-Proliferation Treaty has not prevented it from trying to 
develop nuclear weapons and that Iran also is pursuing a biological weapons 
capacity despite a treaty commitment not to do so. 
Iran has denied it is trying to develop nuclear or biological weapons. 
A 1997 Pentagon report issued at the time Iran ratified the convention said 
chemical weapons were a high priority for Iran because of its inability to 
respond in kind to Iraq's attacks during their war in the 1980s. Iran also was 
motivated by evidence, the report said, that Iraq was developing advanced agents 
such as VX, a substance of which one or two drops can be lethal. 
Helms, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, says that since no 
weapons inspection regime is foolproof, the ban will not help the situation or 
enhance American security anyway. 
He argues the United States has little to fear from most countries that 
ratify the treaty. The concern is with those that ratify and cheat and those 
that don't join the treaty at all. Indeed, five of the seven nations on the 
State Department list of countries accused of promoting international terrorism 
have neither signed nor ratified the treaty: Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria and 
Sudan. The two remaining countries are Iran and Cuba.

June:

Excellent post! Very few people are aware of the pagan origins of modern
Christian observances such as Christ-Mass. (Everyone should check out the
origin of the use of Christmas trees!) Your words are, as usual,
brilliantly enlightening in a non-threatening manner. Someone should take
lessons from you :-)

BTW, wasn't there a study some years ago pertaining to the calculation of
Christ's birth around the Roman census--purportedly between January and
April?

Edward   
On Fri, 25 Dec 1998, MShrum wrote:
Remember, contrary to what the advertisers and the media would have
you believe, this is not a "holiday." It is a religious observance
[the term they always use for our Arab friends: Ramadan]. Christmas is
to honor the birth of the Christ child.

Well, to begin with, the term 'holiday' comes from the contraction of the
word 'holy day', so your objection to the word is meaningless.

Secondly, there is NOTHING about December 25th that has ANYTHING to do
with the birth of Jesus the Christ, except that the Roman Catholic church
decided to put a 'Christian' veneer on pre-existing pagan celebrations of
the season...

Evidence points to either a spring or an early autumnal birthdate for
Jesus the Christ (currently, spring is favored in scholarly circles,
based on a comet which would have been visible in the spring of 5 BCE...
but other evidence in the past has been used to argue for an early autumn
birthdate)...

Either way, the beginning of winter could NOT have been the actual birth
date of Jesus the Christ...it was a date that fell in the middle of the
ancient Roman Saturnalia...it was also the date the followers of Mithras
claimed was the birthdate of Mithras...and it also roughly corresponded
with the Yule festivities of the pagan northern European tribes..

So the Church, after centuries of trying to BAN Christians from
participating in the various early winter festivals of their particular
geographical area, adopted an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude,
and 'allowed' the festivals to continue, as long as the participants put
a 'Christian' interpretation to things...hence, holly was explained to
represent Christ's crown of thorns, etc.

But you would have been hard-pressed to find anything resembling our
modern holiday...even more hard-pressed to find anything representing a
RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE, other than a possible midnight Mass (which gave the
name to the holiday, e.g. "Christ's Mass")...most festivities more
closely resembled modern-day Mardi Gras, with people dressing in costume,
and a wild, licentious, lascivious time being enjoyed by all...

EASTER is the main holiday of the Christian church, the observance which
gives the religion it's whole meaning, and not Christmas...



HAPPY HANNAKAH AND A VERY BLESSED CHRISTMAS!

Well, least we forget the age of the transformers - it is indeed an

introduction of Mickey Mouse which taught kids to desire to be another
species - later picked up with the theme of Barney. Then there was the

Fortunately, I preferred trolls.  Hmin later years, this particular

They seem to do fairly well when they run candidates here in Australia

vote. I assume this is a combination of people who think they are some
sort of ecology based party, and those who think they are some type of
law and order lobby.



Hiya Johannes,

Dr. Hagelin of the Natural Law party didn't do so well with the last
election.  I have tried to find the total number of votes he received and
what that percentage represented but to no avail.  If anyone knows, I'd
appreciate getting those figures.  The Natural Law party website no long
posts them - I guess they figured they were too old.

Yes, they are associated with TM.  I think that is what I so liked about
what they had to say and what they represented in the last election - some
balance: meditation as a means of stress reduction, a flat tax for the
people (I suppose another form of stress reduction and fair play), seemingly
genuine concerns about the environment, medical plans, etc.  Overall, a wish
list of goodies for everyone (accept those who want equality and fair play
for all).

My twin brother lives in Adelaide.  Are you near there?

Nevada desert is promising site for nuke waste -US

By Patrick Connole

WASHINGTON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Energy said on Friday
that Yucca Mountain in the Nevada desert was a ``promising'' site for becoming
the nation's permanent nuclear waste repository, pending more research on its
safety.

By calling it ``promising,'' the agency rejected pleas from environmental
groups to disqualify Yucca Mountain. Those groups have cited research showing
that groundwater could be contaminated by radioactive waste during the
thousands of years the nuclear fuel would remain highly radioactive.

DOE released its first detailed analysis on the potential waste site in a
long-awaited viability assessment. The agency said that if it were eventually
approved, the site would cost some $19 billion to build and monitor.

``DOE believes that Yucca Mountain remains a promising site for a geologic
repository and that work should proceed to support a decision in 2001 on
whether to recommend the site to the president for development as a
repository,'' the DOE said.

For the site to be recommended, the agency said it must still demonstrate that
a repository can be designed and built at Yucca Mountain that would protect
the public and the environment.

The waste site would become the home for some 70,000 metric tons of spent
radioactive fuel rods from nuclear power plants, and additional waste from
production of nuclear weapons.

Currently, around 38,000 tons of spent fuel is being stored at more than 70
commercial nuclear power plants across the country, pending the resolution of
a dispute over when the federal government must remove the waste for storage.

DOE said uncertainties remained about key natural processes in the Yucca
Mountain region, and over preliminary design plans. To address the outstanding
questions, the agency said environmental impact assessments would be conducted
in the next two years before the final recommendation in 2001.

The report said the advantages of making Yucca Mountain the repository site
included:

Location. The mountain lies 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas on unpopulated
land owned by the federal government and adjacent to the Nevada Test Site, the
longtime home for more than 900 nuclear weapons tests;

Lack of water. DOE said water is the main way radioactive elements are
transported from a repository, and noted that Yucca Mountain is in a desert,
with an average rainfall of 7 inches;

Groundwater. The nearest groundwater is isolated in a closed basis and does
not flow into any any rivers that reach the ocean.

The DOE said the natural geology and the preliminary repository design can
keep water away from the waste for thousands of years. Using mathematical
models, the agency said that for 10,000 years after the repository is closed
in around the year 2045, people living near Yucca Mountain are expected to
receive little or no increase in radiation exposure.

The maximum radiation exposure was expected to occur after 300,000 years, the
report said.

DOE said the preparation of environmental impact statements in 1999 and 2000
would cost around $1.1 billion, and if approved, the construction and
placement of waste would cost around another $18.7 billion in constant 1998
dollars.

The first waste would be emplaced in 2010 and the last waste in 2033, and the
site closed 10 years after the last waste is

From Wash (DC) Post (via Drudge):

Livingston Won't Serve as Speaker

Saturday, December 19, 1998; 9:53 a.m. EST

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Rep. Bob Livingston said today he would not serve as the
next House speaker and will leave Congress next year. He apologized for
having engaged in extramarital affairs.

``I must set the example that I hope President Clinton will follow. ... I
will not stand for speaker of the House on January 6 but rather will remain
as backbencher in this House I love so much,'' Livingston said as the House
fell silent. He said would quit Congress after six months.

``I was prepared to lead our narrow majority as speaker and I believe I had
.. to do a fine job, but I cannot do that job.''

Livingston began his speech by calling on Clinton to resign after being
impeached, but then said he could not do so unless he, too, resigned.

Livingston, 55, was nominated without opposition to succeed Newt Gingrich
as speaker on Nov. 18. Gingrich had stunned the House with his resignation
on Nov. 7.

The first indications that Livingston's quest to lead the House may face
new hurdles arose as the House impeachment debate unfolded.

The Thursday night revelation by Livingston, R-La., that he had ``on
occasion strayed from my marriage'' was only hinted at on the House floor
during the day-long debate.

``We are now at the height of a cycle of the politics of negative attacks,
character assassination, personal smears of good people,'' said House
Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo.

But as rumors hurtled around the Capitol about details of the affairs,
Livingston met with several conservatives who were rethinking their support
of the 55-year-old Louisianan,

``We ought to ask questions ... rather than circle the wagons for one of
our tribe,'' Rep. Mark Sanford, R-S.C., said in an interview. He said he
would spend Christmas ``struggling'' over whether to support Livingston.

Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., also said Republicans should re-examine
Livingston's fitness to be speaker.

``You can't criticize the president's behavior as being unacceptable and
then not consider this as material, just ignore this and brush it aside,''
he said

Several other conservatives, speaking on condition of anonymity, said once
the House impeachment debate is over, they will think about whether
Livingston should take over when the 106th Congress is sworn in on Jan. 6.

Livingston's problem is intensified by the narrow GOP margin in the next
House: just 223-211, plus one independent who usually votes with Democrats.
If just six Republicans refuse to support him for speaker, he would lack
the 218 votes needed to be elected -- assuming the Democrats and
independent vote against him.

Outside the chamber, many Republicans -- and some Democrats -- said
Livingston's infidelities were a personal matter and he remained qualified
to become speaker. Livingston said Thursday night his wife of 33 years,
Bonnie, and his four grown children have forgiven him.

``His stature, because of the way he handled himself, was enhanced,'' said
Rep. John Sununu, R-N.H.

``I think they're none of our business,'' Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., a
Livingston friend, said of the infidelities. ``Anybody who knows Bob
Livingston and Bonnie knows they are two first-rate human beings.''

Other Democrats, however, said the episode showed Republican inconsistency
in judging Clinton and Livingston.

``It shows their partisan rancor, where they're quick to forgive and forget
Mr. Livingston's infidelities yet seem hellbent for going after the
president,'' said Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I.

Livingston allies said they detected no deterioration of support.

But some Republicans worried the episode could hurt Livingston if he does
become speaker.

Bachus said Republicans must learn when and to what extent Livingston
engaged in extramarital affairs. He said he also wants to know why
Livingston did not disclose this when he began running for speaker last
month, knowing that the House soon would be considering impeachment.

Livingston revealed the affairs after Hustler magazine asked him for
comment about claims by at

 Dear CAUS Members:

 CAUS has received the following report from Ken Welch.  Since CAUS
believes
 that Reverse Speech can be a powerful tool in uncovering the truth, it is
 asking its members, who have the expertise in this area, to help confirm
Mr.
 Welch's findings and conclusions.  All comments are appreciated.  It
appears
 that events are moving at an accelerated pace:

- FLASH NEWS -

 Speech reversals from a  Presidential press conference yesterday
 (Thursday 12/17)  indicate that a  U-2 FLIGHT OVER IRAQ TO ASSESS BOMB
 DAMAGE  ENCOUNTERED TWO OR MORE UFO'S - and that this event was
 the cause of serious  concern.

 Method:  Speech reversing software

 Source:  Recorded from Internet, very high level of background noise,
 required significant processing to clarify reversals.

 Circumstances:  During a press conference, the President was asked
 how he would respond to those suggesting the attack on Iraq was
 merely a means of delaying impeachment proceedings.  Because it was
 hoped his answer would be revealing on this issue, his response was
 recorded and analyzed.   Results contained a surprise!

 Normal  speech:  This is the statement you heard on the news all
 day, which begins "That it's not true.  That what I did was the right
 thing for the country.  I don't think any serious person would..."
 The segment l reviewed runs for slightly over a minute.  General
 topic is timing, reasons, and current information about military
 operations in Iraq.

 Reversals:

 Conclusions:

 1.  Overall IRAQ situation is about OIL, and oil profits.  (Prices
 down seriously right now).  References to oil leases were found in
 other White house reversals today, and oil pipelines have been in the
 news as well.  This may mean that Clinton was pressured (paid?)  to
 act before his personal position became more precarious.

 2.  Clinton recognizes he is in serious trouble, believes if he can

 The peoples of Iraq face the same dilemma that Americans do - removing a

  are presented with problems in doing just that.  Though considering the
  growing number of corpses surrounding the Clinton Administration I
suspect
  that these problems that one could encounter are very similar indeed.

It's really inconvenient when the facts get in the way, as Reagan would
say.

HmmI'm not sure what you are referring to in my post here as you
later suggest that the corpse concept is an urban legend.  Please clarify.

Most Americans are not confronted with the problem of removing their
democratically elected leader.  Most Americans are confronted with a
radical
right-wing cabal and a compliant press who are attempting to remove the
President on a trivial legalism.

Indeed.  It is a dilemma.  Does one boot out a President on a "trivial
legalism" because the supposed greater offenses have not been proven?  Is
this the only way the House and Senate can get rid of him without dragging
out all the dirty laundry which would implicate numerous people or is all of
this "dirty laundry" a bunch of conspiracy nonsense?

Re: trivial legalism.  Most people would lie about a sexually indiscretion.
It doesn't make it right but, it is understandable.  However, I will
maintain my position that Clinton is the President of the United States and
therefore must abide by a higher standard of conduct for in not doing so he
directly affects the lives of countless millions of people adversely.  It
may not seem fair but, it is necessary IMHO and it's a position that I
continue to maintain.  If Clinton does not want to abide by these strict
"rules" then he needs to step down from office.

As for the corpses, i suggest that you visit the urban legends site.

I have.  I have also done considerable research in the area.

Thanks for the feedback.

snoOwl,

This sounds like a very romantic situation for both of your parents.  One of
the big differences is that your mother was not employed by your father - he
was a client of the club.

Re: [CTRL] MREs

1998-12-18 Thread Hilary Thomas

 -Caveat Lector-

Jim,

Yes, I had read about the Kansas City stocking.   I believe I read the same
postings about the homeless being hired for this work.  If I understand,
MREs have a relatively short shelf life - perhaps 2 years.  So, if someone
is stocking in the event of "something going down" they 1) haven't done
their homework with respect to how long the supplies would last or 2) have
done there homework and aren't expecting to need supplies for a very long
time, or 3) anticipate that something is going to occur within a relatively
short period of time and that that something would require stockpiling large
quantities of food.  The number I heard for the West Virginia mountains
(which also included various types of equipment) was rations for 22 days for
500,000 people.  They was the amount that this "person" saw but, didn't know
if there was more.  If true, that is a heck of a lot of food.

This was forwarded to me  I thought if anybody on the list was looking
for such a place to set up "community", this could be it.

--- forwarded message ---

I have a great piece of property for sale in northwestern Montana near the
town of Eureka, about 15 miles south of Canada and 45 miles north of
Whitefish. It's 120 beautiful acres, forested, rolling hills with a
totally private small lake on it, plus 2/3 of an even smaller lake.
There's a large handhewn log lodge (4 years old) with 7 bedrooms, 3
bathrooms, large office
space and many special features and spectacular mountain vistas. It was
built to be off-the-grid, but now has electricity. We have our own well
with great tasting water. There are two vegetable gardens, a small orchard
and a camping area. There are also several outbuildings including a 2 story
octagon on the shores of the smaller lake. We have lots of wildlife. It's a
beautiful, special place deserving of someone special. It's also a perfect
place for an alternative community or retreat center. That's what I bought
it for, but I couldn't get the support I needed.

There's more information on it, plus photos on my website The Nvisible at:
http://www.nvisible.com/LandSale.html

Could you possibly pass on the information on this special place to anyone
who might be interested?

Sincerely,

Solara

[CTRL] Effects of Microwaves on Humans

1998-12-17 Thread Hilary Thomas






Hello all, 
Have fun with this 
Hilary 
 Effects of Microwaves on Humans  Subject 
Report  The following report was written some years ago. I am 
working with a copy that is difficult to read so please note that there may be 
some typographica l errors for I am unable to clearly see all the printed 
material. There is one section missing from the report and as I am unable to 
locate the author I can not include the omitted section. =  
Hilary
  FORENSIC RESEARCH DOCUMENT  
TO61-7R10/10-77F05   RELEASE PRIORITY: CLASS I 
ROO1a   RESEARCH HISTORY: The microwave radiomissor 
cooking ovens were originally researched and developed by the Nazis for use by 
the mobile support operations for the invasion of the Soviet Union. By being 
able to utilize electronic equipment for preparation of meals on a mass-scale, 
the logistical problem of cooking fuels would have been eliminated, as well as 
the convenience of producing edible products in a greatly reduced 
time-factor.   After the close of World War II, the 
Allies discovered the medical research and documentation concerning these 
apparatuses. These documents and the experimental microwave equipment was 
transferred to the U. S. War Department, and classified for reference and 
scientific investigation. The Soviet Union also retrieved some of the devices, 
and proceeded to undertake experimentation on a separate basis.  
 The Russians have been the most diligent in their research on the 
biological effects of microwave ovens, and have outlawed their use, and have 
also issued an international warning concerning the possible biological and 
environmental damage that can be caused by the use of this and similar-frequency 
electronic apparatus.   FORENSIC RESEARCH ACTIVITIES 
SUMMARY   The following are the most significant German 
and Russian research operations facilities concerning the biological effects of 
microwaves: the initial research conducted by the Germans during the Barbarossa 
military campaign, at the Humbolot-Uviversitat zu Berlin (1942-1943): then, 
beginning in 1957 and up to the present, the Russian research operations are 
being conducted at the Institute of Radio Technology at Kinsk, Byelorussian 
Autonomous Region; also at the Institute of Radio Technology at Rajasthan in the 
Rossiskaja Autonomous Region, both in the Union of the Soviet Socialist 
Republics.   In most cases, the foods used for research 
analysis were exposed to microwave propagation at an energy-potential of 100 
kilowatts/cm3/second, to the point considered acceptable for sanitary, normal 
ingestion.   The effects noted by the German and Russian 
researchers will be presented in three categories: Category I, Cancer-Causing 
Effects; Category II, Nutritive Destruction of Foods; and Category III, 
Biological Effects of Exposure. [The first two points of Category I are missing. 
The remainder of the report is intact]   3. Creation of 
a binding effect to radioactivity in the atmosphere, thus causing a 
marked increase in the amount of alpha-and-beta-particle saturation in 
foods;   4. Creation of cancer-causing agents within 
protein-hydrolysate compounds in milk and cereal grains;  
 5. Alteration of elemental food-substances, causing disorders in the 
digestive system by unstable catabolism (breakdown) of foods subjected to 
microwaves;   6. Due to chemical alternations within 
food-substances, malfunctions were observed within the lymphatic systems, 
causing a degeneration of the immune- potentials of the body to protect against 
certain forms of neoplastics (cancerous growths);   7. 
Ingestion of microwaved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells 
within the blood serum (cytomas);   8. Microwave 
emissions caused alteration in the catabolic (breakdown) behavior of 
glucoside-and galactoside-elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this 
manner;   9. Microwave emission caused alteration of the 
catabolic (breakdown) behavior of plant-alkaloids (elemental substances) when 
raw, cooked, or frozen vegetables were exposed for even extremely short 
durations;   10. Cancer-causing free-radicals were 
formed within certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances, 
and in particular, raw root-vegetables; and   11. In a 
statistically high percentage of persons, microwaved foods caused stomach and 
intestinal cancerous growths, as well as a general degeneration of peripheral 
cellular tissues, with a gradual breakdown of the function of the digestive and 
excretive systems.   CATEGORY II: DECREASE IN FOOD 
VALUE: Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritive value of 
all foods researched. The following are the most important findings: 
  1. A decrease in the bioavailability (capability of the body 
to utilize the nutriment) of B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, essential 
minerals and lipotropics in all foods;   2. A loss of 
60-90% of the vital-energy field content of all tested foods;  
 3. A reduction in the

[CTRL] Some Thought on Iraq

1998-12-17 Thread Hilary Thomas

 -Caveat Lector-

Some thoughts on Iraq:

1)  Because Saddam has a tendency to lop off weapons at anyone including his
own citizens his "toys" need to be taken away from him.  He's been a very
bad boy.  Therefore, intervention is needed.  However, bombing installations
is probably not the best approach.  If containment of these weapons is truly
the goal then bombing them is not very wise.  "Clean up" of biological and
chemical weapons and their components is a  painstaking procedure and one
where certain control mechanisms need to be in place for safety.  Unless the
dropped bombs and resulting fires completely incinerate these items there
could be contamination problems galore - not to mention digging through tons
of debris to get to the components.

2)  During Desert Storm there was little or no talk about "eliminating"
Saddam.  There is an international agreement that one leader does not design
plans, at least overtly, to assassinate another leader.  Yet, in the CNN
coverage last night there was amble chatting about doing preciously this.  I
found this turn-about rather interesting.  Saddam has been such a pain in
the butt over the past years that somehow it is now acceptable for world
leaders to opening discuss "taking him out" and dismantling his "evil
regime."

3)  The peoples of Iraq face the same dilemma that Americans do - removing a
unfit leader (some believe his is unfit) from office.  Each of our peoples
are presented with problems in doing just that.  Though considering the
growing number of corpses surrounding the Clinton Administration I suspect
that these problems that one could encounter are very similar indeed.

Re: [CTRL] A kinder, gentler lynch mob - Part I

1998-12-16 Thread Hilary Thomas

 -Caveat Lector-

I like the writing style of this article (at least at the beginning).  I
disagree with the content.  The author has indeed reverted back to his
original position that Republicans are Bad, Bad, Bad and Democrats are
merely the victim of their cunning abuse of power and viciousness.  Please.

Clinton got caught with his pants down - quite literally.  The Presidency of
the United States is THE most powerful "official" position on this planet.
The standards of conduct must be held high as the ramifications of
indiscretions, even in his personal life, affect countless of millions of
lives - not to mention millions of dollars unraveling these antics.

There are expected behaviors for all the roles we each have in our lives.
Only having sexual relations (as previously understood and not taking into
account Clinton's new definition) with one's spouse is an expected behavior
of marriage.  If this restriction of behavior is unacceptable.  Don't get
married.  On the same note, lying to the people he administers is
unacceptable.  If Clinton can not abide by this very simple rule of conduct
then he needs to step down.

Both the Democrats and the Republicans will sling mud to their advantage to
garner more seats and consequently more sway in the House and Senate.
That's the game.  To imply that only the Republicans are playing this game
is ridiculous.

Btw:  I am not a Republican and I am seriously reconsidering my designated
"label" of Democrat.  And NO, I did not vote for Clinton.

A kinder, gentler lynch mob
Salon, 12/15/98



THE 'PEACHY-KEEN GOP HAS SHOWN ITS TRUE COLORS -- AND THEY CONFIRM THE MOST
BRAIN-DEAD RADICAL STEREOTYPES FROM THE '60S.

BY GARY KAMIYA
I grew up believing that Republicans were the incarnation of all evil. This
was a harsh and unsophisticated judgment, but the political discourse of
1960s
Berkeley, where I grew up, lacked a certain refinement. In fact, to be
honest,
it was pretty much taken straight from Saturday morning cartoons. In our
righteous view, "the people," whoever they were, were always being
"oppressed"
by The Man, a bloated GOP plutocrat mouthing pious moral maxims. It went
without saying that Republicans were self-righteous, mean-spirited rich
white
men who secretly napalmed Cambodian villages, turned loose the dogs against
civil rights marchers and dug the Carpenters. They were Bad, and if we
could
somehow get rid of them -- meanwhile taking lots of acid and listening to
Hendrix -- Good Things would happen.

Later, like many of my co-religionists, I became embarrassed by these
sentiments. Such crude beliefs were unseemly. Sophistication demanded a
more
nuanced view. Republicans, I now realized, could be decent men and women
who
were just parroting the country-club line. Even the Reagan Age -- that
endless
period I as a Californian was forced to spend under the Great
Communicator's
genially callous thumb, while the Woolly Mammoths died out and Ice Ages
came
and went across the globe -- couldn't make me return to the wooden
Stalinist
sloganeering of my youth. I even reevaluated the Carpenters.

And then came the Starr referral and Henry Hyde and the House Judiciary
Committee vote, and I realized I had gotten it right the first time.

When the Republicans in the full House vote to remove President Clinton
from
office, as they will almost certainly do, they will prove that those brain-
dead radical stereotypes about them really do apply. They will be revealed
as
mean-spirited, partisan hacks, hypocrites, moral absolutists hiding their
craven desire for vengeance and power beneath a ridiculously transparent
façade of pious "deliberation" and "respect for law." The GOP will stand
exposed before all of America as the party of vicious, petty ideologues
who,
in their outrageous desire to undo the results of two lawful elections,
seized
upon a grotesquely acquired legalistic evasion that falls so far short of
meeting the constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanors as to
be
laughable.

Or, let's give them the benefit of the doubt, as the ever-generous New York
Times did in a recent editorial. Let's assume that some of them are
actually
sincere in their belief that lying about sex -- in an obvious vendetta case
brought by a biased and obsessed "independent" counsel who,

DBC


Damian,

In your conversations, there are two themes that continue to emerge - that
of guilt also phrased as shame or humiliation, and secondly, that very shame
being used as leverage to force an individual to do something.

Much has been written on the psychological aftermath concerning what
happened in W.W.II in Europe as with other wars and conquered peoples.

As an American, I experience this phenomena steming from what happened to
the indigenous people and the black community (slavery) and it will still be
many generations before all of these issues are finally resolved.  Events of
this magnitude take centuries to resolve within a culture - even longer if
the "injured" people remain isolated from the larger community.

I grew up outside of Washington, D.C. (where there are many large black
communities) and I now live in the Southwest near several Indian
reservations.  The communities are different - the dynamics are the same.  I
have seen extreme behavior on both sides (white and non-white) in coping
with these dynamics.  These behaviors from the white population range from
shouldering the entire "blame" and loosing themselves in platitudes and
servitude to militant opposition and blatant hate campaigns.  The behaviors
I've observed from the non-white population range from submission with deep
resentment and hatred to playing on the guilty feelings some have and trying
to get "away" with everything they possibly can.  These extreme behaviors
will continue until a balance, or rather, as resolution is finally reached.

The decision on the Anne Frank diary is likely an extreme move - a cultural
adjustment.  There have been many prior to this and there will be many more.
It may not be to your liking - in which case write your letters of protest
however, from a larger perspective it is a predictable and inevitable course
of action by a society attempting to find equilibrium.

Even if you do not read this to

from the 1920's.  Though you could also check out the 1902,
Ida Tarbell, Mc Clure's Magazine, muckrakers, and Standard Oil.

There are some on this list that try to find out why and others
that talk about the results without trying to find out why.

I just read several sections on your website.  I now find your request of me
"Before you get emotional or try to use the labels that your teachers gave

As the few pages I read on your site covered a wide range of topics, I am
unsure exactly what you wanted me to read up on to educated myself before
having an intelligent conversation on a subject which I can see you have
spend a considerable amount of time researching.

Perhaps you can enlighten me in this matter.

Yup, it was the 'intelligence' comment.  I wasn't the least offended by it

Greetings:  This is an important address that contains vital information

artificial sweetener - Aspartame and its marketed labels- as indicated
below...read and be informed. Forewarned is Forearmed I sayI know what
I'll do: Avoid it like the poison it is..Please pass this info on...


WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE
and the
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION
F.D.A. ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO
Article written by Nancy Markle (1120197)

I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE
on "ASPARTAME marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal', and 'Spoonful"'. In the
keynote address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic of
multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what
toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States. I explained
that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in
AS PA RTAME coverts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn
causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of
fire ants). The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people
were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple
sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is.

In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as
rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi
drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to
four 12 oz. Cans of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic
lupus, which is triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know
that the aspartame  is the culprit The victim continues its use aggravating
the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening.
When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually
become asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not reverse this disease.

On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis,
(when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms
disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even
their hearing has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus.

During a lecture I said "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal,
Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting
pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches,
tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred
vision, or memory loss -- you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE!" People were
jumping up during the lecture saying, "I've got this, is it reversible?" It
is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture even were suffering from
these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he
told us that their sugar industry is adding aspartame! He continued by
saying that one of the industry leader's son could no longer walk - due in
part by product usage!

We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto (one
of my speakers) and myself and said, '1Could you tell me why so many people
seem to be coming down with MS?11 During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said
that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet
Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.
Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was
included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there have
been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing as been done. The
drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000
products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!
At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind. The methanol in
the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye.
Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of dmgs as cyanide and arsenic--
DEADLY POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly kill, but
it is killing people and causing all kinds of neurological problems.

Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe
seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain. Imagine what
this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This drug
also causes Birth Defects.

There is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT A DIET
PRODUCT!!! The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave carbohydrates
and will make you FAT". Dr. Roberts stated that when he got patients off
aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 

[CTRL] The Holocaust

1998-12-11 Thread Hilary Thomas





I have 
tried to stay out of this discussion about Anne Frank and the Holocaust. 
For me, the debate is over.

I have yet to figure out why people 
are even questioning if the Holocaust happened or not. I have photographs 
that my uncle took when he went into some of the camps. These were never 
released to the public. He never tried to sell them. He 
just took some pictures and stuck them in a box with all the other family photos 
as one of many events that happened in his life. There is also a picture 
of a very young Mickey Rooney (sp?) sitting on a beach laughing with some 
friends. Again, this picture was also never released to the 
public. Am I to believe that my uncle fabricated these photos and them 
promptly stuck them away? If so, to what end? Was he playing a out 
some subplot in a larger conspiracy?

My mother was a Lt. in the Army, a 
nurse stationed in southern France. This was not a mobile unit and there 
were days she would wake up and they would be behind enemy lines. While 
there, she heard things, saw things...Or did she make it all up? Perhaps 
she was given orders to do so as part of a bigger cover story.

I lived in Israel for a year on two 
kibbutzim which was no small feat since I am half Lebanese and not Jewish. 
I heard from many people of their personal experiences - saw the tattooed 
numbers on their arms. Were they all part of a conspiracy? Were they 
all sharing in some Great Lie? I can assure you that it didn't feel like a 
lie when living on a boarder Kibbutz during a Red Alert. 

Years ago, I walked through the upper rooms where Anne 
Frank and her family stayed. As a teenager, I read her diary. There 
are times when court documents are not needed to find the truth. 
Sometimes, if we listen carefully, well can find the answers in the abundant 
clues that are left behind such as in photograph showing the eyes of a young 
girl who died in a concentration camp or in the ambient surroundings of a room 
off of a small street in Holland.

It happened. The end.

Yah!  Glad to see you posting again, Linda.  The intelligence level of
the
list has just increased.  However, be prepared.  The crazies have
multiplied

some
time with us.
