[CTRL] Fw: [InTheShadows] WORLD WAR III

2003-01-21 Thread Ric Carter
-Caveat Lector-

President Bush and Colin Powell are sitting in a bar. A guy walks in
and asks the barman, Isn't that Bush and Powell sitting over there?

The barman says, Yep, that's them.

So the guy walks over and says, Wow, this is a real honor. What are
you guys doing in here?

Bush says, We're planning WW III .

And the guy says, Really? What's going to happen?

Bush says, Well, we're going to kill 40 million Iraqis this time
and one blonde with big tits

The guy exclaimed, A blonde with big tits? Why kill a blonde with
big tits?

Bush turns to Powell, punches him on the shoulder and says, See,
smart ass, I told you no one would worry about the 40 million
Iraqis.

BUSH WENT AWOL - YOU CAN TOO!

* GENOCIDE INEVITABLE.  In the last one hundred years, governments have
  killed about 170 million people. The Maximum Power Principle and
  evolution theory explain why this is so, and why the peak in global
  oil production (est., 2005) must lead directly to a new generation of
  global wars with billions killed. Pow! http://dieoff.org/page193.htm

* What the War God Needs - Money, babes, and drugs.

* ARMAGEDDON LOBBY trying to hurry up God (He needs US
  help) http://againstbombing.com/ArmageddonUpdates.htm

* DEITIES ANNOUNCE OPPOSITION TO UPCOMING IRAQ WAR. Kathmandu, Nepal. (UP)
  Spokespersons for the Group of Deities (GOD), a coalition of divinities
  sacred to many major and minor religions, issued a statement proclaiming
  the opposition of those deities to the upcoming war in Iraq.  But due to
  death-threats received by GoD, the individual deities supporting the new
  statement have requested anonymity.  With the development of radical
  new military technologies, our members fear for their existence, said
  a disguised spokesperson at a press conference in the Nepalese capitol.
  Goddam! http://news.google.com/news?num=100hl=ensafe=offq=oppose+war

# Paranormal yakk will be on SkeptiChat: http://sonic.net/~ric/vsub.htm
# Sightings  updates will be on SkeptiLog: http://skeptilog.pitas.com

I did this once before, but this time I mean it.  Ashes to ashes, rust to
rust, SkeptiNews will crumble to dust.  SkeptiNews grew out of bulletins
I posted to UFOmind a few years back, which I then moved to SkeptiChat as
trigger items to provoke discussion.  As it turned out, it was too much
hard work and not enough fun discussions.  Also, a number of fine elists
generate frequent bulletins; it's easier to forward to SC  ItS than to
mine/plagiarize them for SkeptiNews.  So call me lazy, or tired, or ???

Ah, Gentle Readers, those of you who eagerly awaited these bulletins to
appear on Usenet newsgroups will just have to subscribe to SC and/or ItS
or go without.  SC and ItS subscribers should cross-subscribe. And EVERY
ONE OF YOU should read the regular updates to SK.AGOG! (SkeptiLog Agog,

write a memoir, THE PATH TO SKEPTINEWS, covering the transition from old

 http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/comment/0,10551,744013,00.html
 George W's bloody folly
 Bush's fantasy Middle East plan is bound to fail.
 It will strengthen those who want war, not peace

Funny 'bout that.  If peace were to break out, there would be a
dearth of contracts for armaments suppliers; petroleum supplies
would stabilize and prices would fall; terrorism would diminish,
and with it, the justifications for the anti-terror bureaucracy
and police state being erected in the US.  Those interests that
support W's gang wouldn't be happy, nor enriched, nor empowered.

Dubya's fantastic policies aren't accidental -- they're crafted
to benefit particular constituencies -- the rest of humanity is
irrelevant at best, sacrificial at worst.   When making omelets,
eggs are broken.  When building an Imperium, populations may be
crushed underfoot.   W's gang are obviously bent on controlling
world affairs, and no moral qualms will be allowed to interfere.
Palestinian blood just lubricates the imperial machine.  Bother.

 Israeli media-psyops power openly ruling the world - via Washington.
 - Even the US president is clearly powerless to face and stop it.

Ah yes, Jews run the world.  How do we know?  Because some Nazi
at WND says so.  And not just any Nazi, but the renowned Patrick
J. Buchanan hisself!  What's the evidence?  Why, it's  whatever
fascists at WND say it is.  What else?  Why, all those suicide
bombers who blow themselves up in busses  hotels  restaurants
are really Mossad-controlled agents-provocateurs who just provide
justification for rampant Israeli military expansion into the
territories they've controlled for the last 35 years, which they
took after the Arab states waged a war to drive the Jews into
the sea.  So let's see: all the oil-producing states, all the
Arab and Muslim states, all Europe, virtually all govts in the
world, are arrayed against Israel -- but Israel rules the world.
Right.  It's so clear to me now.  How could I think otherwise?

Re: [CTRL] [InTheShadows] Racial Ethnic Cleansing - With U.S. Blessings

2002-04-10 Thread Ric Carter

-Caveat Lector-

- Original Message -
From: Jei [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [InTheShadows] Racial Ethnic Cleansing - With U.S. Blessings


Let's see, when Arab/Muslim leaders call for pushing the Jews
into the sea and destroying the state of Israel, and armies 
militias take steps to achieve exactly that, that ISN'T ethnic
cleansing.  But when Israel bombs/attacks bases of those who've
been bombing/attacking Israel, that IS ethnic cleansing.  OK, I
think I've got it now.  So ethnic cleansing is just a matter of
who defines it, of whose ox is being gored.  So when Israel is
finally obliterated, it won't be ethnic cleansing, it'll be
purifying sacred lands (which are sacred because Mohammad
once dreamt of going there, not that he actually made it).

Of course, if the Israelis actually WANTED to achieve ethnic
cleansing, they certainly have the military might to do so.
Milosevic's gang rounded up tens of thousands of civilians,
raped the women, killed and buried the men, and forced the
relocation of hundreds of thousands.  Saddam's gang gassed
and shelled villages, rounded up  killed tens of thousands
of civilians, and forced the relocation of millions.  If
Israel had done likewise, wouldn't someone have noticed?

The point of these ant-Israeli diatribes is clear: adopting
a moral stance, the destruction of Israel is being call for,
clear  simple.  And it will probably be achieved, eventually,
because it's too small and the rest of the world is too big,
and there are just MANY more Jew-haters than Jews.  But many
more people will be killed enroute to that purification --
and it won't happen soon.  The Arab states NEED Israel, NEED
conflict there, to distract their own populations from their
own misery  mismanagement  corruption  repression.  Without
Israel to focus anger, they'd have to deal with their problems,
which would mean giving up power.  Bother.

Something to keep in mind: Israel isn't likely to go quietly
into that dark night.  If the West forces Israel to withdraw,
or suspends military assistance, without curtailing internal
and external attacks, Sharon may decide that his only option
is nuclear.  Israel would then be destroyed anyway, but it
wouldn't go alone.  Now consider: who gains from this?

[CTRL] Fw: How Come No One Fights in Big Famous Nations Anymore?

2002-04-08 Thread Ric Carter

-Caveat Lector-

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: How Come No One Fights in Big Famous Nations Anymore?

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DEMAND WARS IN EASIER-TO-FIND COUNTRIES

They Ask How Come No One Fights in Big Famous Nations Anymore?
Washington, D.C. (SatireWire.com) -- A delegation of American high school
students today demanded the United States stop waging war in obscure
nations such as Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and instead
attack places they've actually heard of, such as France, Australia, and
Austria, unless, they said, those last two are the same country.

People claim we don't know as much geography as our parents and
grandparents, but it's so not our fault, Josh Beldoni, a senior at
Fischer High School in Los Angeles, told the Senate Armed Services
Committee.  Back then they only had wars in, like, Germany and England,
but we're supposed to know about places like Somalia and Massachusetts.

Macedonia, corrected committee Chairman Carl Levin of Michigan.

See? said Beldoni.

Beldoni's frustration was shared by nearly three dozen students at the
hearing, who blamed the U.S. military for making them look bad.  I
totally support our soldiers and all that, but I am seriously failing
both geography and social studies because I keep getting asked to find
Croatia or Yemvrekia, or whatever bizarre-o country we send troops to,
said Amelia Nash, a junior at Clark High School in Orlando, FL.  Can't
we fight in, like, Italy? It's boot-shaped.

Chairman Levin however, explained that Italy was a U.S. ally, and that
intervention is usually in response to a specific threat.

OK, what about Arulco? interrupted Tyler Boone, a senior at Bellevue
High School in Wisconsin.  That's a country in Jagged Alliance 2 run by
the evil Queen Deidranna.  I'm totally familiar with that place. She's a
major threat.

Jagged...? said Levin.

Alliance. It's a computer game.

Well, no, Levin answered. We can't attack a fictional country.

Yeah right, Boone mumbled. Like Grenada was real.

The students' testimony was supported by a cross-section of high school
geography teachers, who urged the committee to help lay a solid
foundation for America's young people by curtailing any intervention
abroad.  Since the anti-terror war began, most of my students can now
point to Afghanistan on a map, which is fine, but those same kids still
don't know the capitals of Nevada and Ohio, said Richard Gerber, who
teaches at Rhymony High School in Atlanta. I think we need to cut back
on our activities overseas and take care of business at home, and if that
means invading Tallahassee (FL) or Trenton (NJ) so that students learn
where they are, so be it.

I've always wanted to stick it to Hartford (CT), said Sen. Lincoln
Chafee of Rhode Island. Oh sh*t, is my microphone on?

The hearing adjourned after six hours.  An estimated 2,000 more students
were expected to hold a march in the nation's capital, but forgot which
city it was in.

[CTRL] Nazi group sees explosive growth after Sept. 11

BILL WHITE: NAZI GROUP SEES EXPLOSIVE GROWTH IN WAKE OF SEPTEMBER 11
ATTACKS.NATIONAL ALLIANCE SEES NUMBERS TRIPLE AS PROTESTS SHOW STRENGTH
http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/11/15/21095.html

“What are you doing for dinner tonight?” the young Nazi girl asked your
humble correspondent at a recent demonstration against Israel. “Feel like
going drinking with a bunch of skinheads?” It wasn’t my thing. But the
invitation alone would seem a mystery – only five months ago I’d reported,
erroneously, that this young girl was addicted to heroin. (I’d been fooled
by a rumor planted by a rival Nazi) But now she was smiling and looking for
a date – and why not? The communists that had come to demonstrate against
“fascism” had dwindled to less than a dozen, and her group was reaping the
fruits of openly challenging a traditional American taboo – in the wake of
September 11, her National Alliance demonstration against Israel had drawn a
dozen reporters, three television stations, and shown Washington’s left that
there was a new force in town. My “cute”-ness and good looks probably also
didn’t hurt.

Call it an unintended side effect of the World Trade Center attacks. Think
of it as a form of domestic Blowback. Since Muslims blew up the New York
World Trade Center and the Pentagon in protest of America’s support for
Israel, it’s support of “moderate” Muslim regimes so they won’t attack
Israel, and it’s blockade of Iraq to keep it from becoming a regional
competitor to Israel, the National Alliance has been the only voice on the
American political landscape to both protest America’s foreign policy,
protest the new anti-civil liberties measures, and to connect those issues
with America’s Jewish minority – the group that all political observers know
have foisted these policies on America, but which no political observers
will speak about. Its honesty has brought it profit. A group that beforehand
had, according to a recent public statement, had 170,000 people a week
downloading its radio broadcasts, now reports that traffic has doubled –
presumably to more than 340,000 downloads per week – and that its
membership, which had already begun to pick up after decades of slump, is
skyrocketing – tripling in new applications since the attacks.

It is also seeing its politics changing. Despite decades of advocating
racial separation and denouncing democracy and the idea of free speech, the
free press, and civil rights, after the 9-11 attacks, the National Alliance
made the following demands of Israel: “Stop the institutionalized racism
which treats non-Jews born in Israel as second-class citizens … Allow true
freedom of religion for people of all faiths in Israel … Allow true freedom
of speech and assembly for all people in Israel. … and Accept responsibility
for the fact that Israel's terrorist actions against the Palestinians and
others are the direct cause of acts of terrorism against the United States!”

Even their leader, Dr William Pierce, has adopted a conciliatory tone,
stating in a recent radio broadcast that:

“I certainly have never been pro-Arab or pro-Muslim, but … we need have no
fundamental conflict with Arabs or Muslims, because they are in their part
of the world and we are in ours. They have their religion and their way of
life, and we have ours. Because we are separate and both of us would like to
stay that way, we need have no conflict. … Really, there is no reason for us
to hate each other … Separation and non-interference make good neighbors.”
This from a man that once write a book describing how all non-white people
in America would be rounded up into canyons and executed in mass graves.

So while September 11 has changed the world, has it also changed the
National Alliance? And if not, will the same policies that have kept
Alliance growth minimal in the past boomerang back against their current
surge in support? To understand these questions it is necessary to first
look a bit into history.

From American Nazi Party to National Alliance In 1958 George Lincoln
Rockwell, a World War II and Korean War-era Commander in the United States
Navy, launched the American Nazi Party as a statement of his disillusionment
with other conservative groups – like the John Birch Society and William
Buckley’s National Review – which he had dealt with in the 1954 – 1958
period, and which he felt were not addressing the “Jewish issue”. His first
act of protest was a demonstration outside the White House, where his
followers carried banners reading “Save Ike From The Kikes”. His last act
was to drive down to a laundromat in August 1967, where he was assassinated
by a former member. William Pierce, a physics professor in Oregon, first saw
Rockwell on TV in 1963, and in 1964 he joined Rockwell, working on the
production of the National Socialist World newspaper. In 1965, he left his
teaching position in Oregon to support Rockwell full-time. Though never a
formal member of the group,

Mario,

 At last, Islam is beginning to deal with the most
critical question that has faced this faith in the
last millennium.  If All that the mullahs tell you
today is how to go back a millennium. then it is time
that the mullahs return to their original role within
the faith (scholarship) and get out of the business of
being ministers to their people.

 Perhaps something good might just come out of the
current war after all - if the real causes of this
war, poverty, dictatorship and religious anti-
modernism, each reinforcing the other WITHIN the
Islamic world are finally addressed honestly (not just
the usual suspects - excuses about external
influences, historic wrongs, and the evil, grasping,
west).  There is plenty of blame to go around in
modern Middle Eastern history, yet it is too easy to
do nothing when you have easy excuses as to why you
are poor - none of which reflect back on you (very
convenient).  Perhaps attempting to live in the 14th
century while living in the 21st century might
actually have something to do with it as well?

 Here's the gawah:  These countries can't survive
without opening up to global investment, the Internet,
modern education and emancipation of their women so
that they will not be competing with just half of
their populations.  Perhaps, finally, these issues
will really begin to be addressed WITHIN Islam - as
opposed to having the same old excuses, get
perpetuated down to yet another hopeless generation,
by schools that graduate students with religious
degrees that have no relevance to life in the real
global community.

Breaking the Circle
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
SLAMABAD, Pakistan

 Although it was never his intention, Osama bin
Laden has triggered the most serious debate in years,
among Muslims, about Islam's ability to adapt to
modernity.  In Arab states this debate is still muted.
But in Pakistan and other Muslim countries with a
relatively free press, writers are raising it openly
and bluntly.  Nothing could be more important.

 Here's why:  Many Arab-Muslim states today share
the same rigid political structure.  Think of it as
two islands: one island is occupied by the secular
autocratic regimes and the business class around them.
 On the other island are the mullahs, imams and
religious authorities who dominate Islamic practice
and education, which is still based largely on
traditional Koranic interpretations that are not
embracing of modernity, pluralism or the equality of
women.  The governing bargain is that the regimes get
to stay in power forever and the mullahs get a
monopoly on religious practice and education forever.

 This bargain lasted all these years because oil
money, or U.S. or Soviet aid, enabled many Arab-Muslim
countries to survive without opening their economies
or modernizing their education systems.  But as oil
revenues have declined and the population of young
people seeking jobs has exploded, this bargain can't
hold much longer.  These countries can't survive
without opening up to global investment, the Internet,
modern education and emancipation of their women so
that they will not be competing with just half of
their populations.  But the more they do that, the
more threatened the religious authorities feel.

 Bin Laden's challenge was an attempt by the
extreme Islamists to break out of their island and
seize control of the secular state island.  The states
responded by crushing or expelling the Islamists, but
without ever trying to reform the Islamic schools —
called madrasas — or the political conditions that
keep producing angry Islamist waves.  So the deadly
circle that produced bin Ladenism — poverty,
dictatorship and religious anti- modernism, each
reinforcing the other — just gets perpetuated.

Some are now demanding the circle be broken.
Consider this remarkable open letter to bin Laden that
a Pakistani writer and businessman, Izzat Majeed,
wrote in last Friday's popular Pakistani daily The
Nation:

 We Muslims cannot keep blaming the West for all
our ills. . . .  The embarrassment of wretchedness
among us is beyond repair.  It is not just the
poverty, the illiteracy and the absence of any
commonly accepted social contract that define our
sense of wretchedness; it is, rather, the increasing
awareness among us that we have failed as a civil
society by not confronting the historical, social and
political demons within us. . . .  Without a
reformation in the practice of Islam that makes it
move forward and not backward, there is no hope for us
Muslims anywhere.  We have reduced Islam to the
organized hypocrisy of

Libraries May Be Required to Spy on Your Net Use
http://www.netsurf.com/nsd/nsd.07.39.html#BS12

As a consequence of the recent US anti-terrorism act, federal agents with
warrants can force libraries to turn over records of visitors' Internet use
and, presumably, lists of the books they have borrowed. Furthermore,
libraries served with such warrants are prevented from disclosing this fact
to their users. The American Library Association (ALA) has a brief guideline
that explains how libraries should behave when served with such a warrant.
The ALA page also links to a Department of Justice document that details the
differences between the old laws and the new USA PATRIOT anti-terrorism
legislation. The document, Field Guide on New Authorities (Redacted)
Enacted in the 2001 Anti-Terrorism Legislation is more readable than the
law itself.

I saw the part in article III about one supreme court and subsidiary
courts.  Sorry, where, exactly, does it say that military tribunals have
jurisdiction over civilians?


Article III extends the judicial power to cases arising under the
Constitution, laws of the United States, etc. Article I authorizes Congress
to define and punish offenses against the law of nations, something
apparently apart from the laws of the United States. The real issue is not
an Article III tribunal vs an Article I tribunal, but whether you get the
little niceties like a public trial, a jury, and a lawyer. In other words,
it's not about whether the military tribunal has jurisdiction, but whether
the defendant has constitutional rights in either forum.

Wong Wing v. U.S., 163 US 228 (1896) holds that resident aliens are
entitled to the protection of the 5th and 6th Amendment (due process, jury
trial) if they are to be charged and imprisoned instead of deported. U.S.
v. Verdugo-Urquidez, 494 US 1092 (1990) distinguishes Wong Wing in holding
the 4th Amendment does not apply to searches outside of the United States
where the alien has no significant voluntary connection to the U.S. In
that case the defendant was grabbed and his house searched in Mexico before
he was whisked into the U.S. for trial, where his 4th Amendment claims were
rejected because the Bill of Rights doesn't protect non-resident aliens. It
is likely that the rationale of Verdugo-Urquidez supports the
constitutionality of the executive order as applied to alleged terrorists
captured in Afghanistan, and either tried there or like Verdugo-Rodriguez
brought here involuntarily. Non-resident aliens are simply unprotected by
the Bill of Rights.

With respect to those captured in the U.S., Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1
(1942) indicates that unlawful belligerents accused of violations of the
laws of war are not entitled to jury trials because violations of the
laws of war were not among the crimes triable by jury at common law (like
claims in equity). The problem is the uncertain scope of the terms laws of
war and unlawful belligerents -- Quirin seems to be define each only by
reference to the other, and the terms seem even less exact today than they
did in 1942. Quirin characterizes as unlawful belligerents (in contrast
with lawful belligerents who must be treated as POWs) those secretly
passing through the defenses of the United States in civilian dress, for
purpose of committing hostile acts. In the context of the current war on
terrorism, the terrorists found in the U.S. likely qualify as unlawful
belligerents if they are here to commit hostile acts. It seems to me that
hostile acts might include money laundering, drug smuggling, even credit
card fraud. It's not even clear that the hostile acts have to be
otherwise criminal acts, but it is clear from Quirin that ordinary crimes,
like conspiracy to blow up a building, can be re-cast as violations of the
law of war when perpetrated by unlawful belligerents. Moreover, Quirin
indicates that even U.S. citizenship does not entitle an unlawful
belligerent to a jury trial. Quirin claimed to have been a citizen since he
was 4 years old, an issue that the Court found unnecessary to address.

The problem with this is that in Quirin the court looked to a real
honest-to-god declaration of war as the source of the President's authority
to send the German spies to a military tribunal. This time, we're looking
at a joint resolution authorizing the President to use necessary and
appropriate force to end terrorism, which is undefined. The foreign
belligerent is not a foreign nation, but a network that is not altogether
foreign. It raises a question as to whether there is a distinction between
a war on terrorism, and, for example, a war on drug trafficking; or whether
terrorism might be defined to include drug trafficking, or almost any other
anti-social behavior that we want to deal with free of all the nasty
complications caused by lawyers and juries. How hard would it be to define
people who blow up abortion clinics, or set free lab animals, or write
computer viruses, or (you'll like this, Andrew) distribute DeCSS, as among
the enemies in the war against terrorism.

Burying the Lead: Democracy Denied
by Jim Naureckas

November 15, 2001

In journalism, it's called burying the lead: A story starts off with what
everyone already knows, while the real news-- the most surprising,
significant or never-been-told-before information-- gets pushed down where
people are less likely to see it.

That's what happened to the findings of the media study of the uncounted
votes from last year's Florida presidential vote. A consortium of news
outlets-- including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Tribune Co.
(Newsday's parent company), The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press and
CNN-- spent nearly a year and $900,000 reexamining every disputed ballot.

The consortium determined that if the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed the
ongoing recount to go through, George W. Bush would still likely have ended
up in the White House. That's because the recount ordered by the Florida
Supreme Court-- as well as the more limited recount asked for by Democratic
candidate Al Gore-- only involved so-called undervotes, ballots that when
counted mechanically registered no choice for president.

Gore and the Florida Supreme Court ignored overvotes-- votes where
mechanical counting registered more than one vote-- on the assumption that
there would be no way to tell which of the multiple candidates the voter
actually intended to pick.

But as the consortium found when it actually looked at the overvotes, one
often could tell what the voter's intent was. Many of the overvotes
involved, for example, a voter punching the hole next to a candidate's name,
and then writing in the same candidate's name.

Since the intent of the voter is clear, these are clearly valid votes under
Florida law. And Gore picked up enough of such votes that it almost didn't
matter what standard you used when looking at undervotes-- whether you
counted every dimple or insisted on a fully punched chad, the consortium
found that Gore ended up the winner of virtually any full reexamination of
rejected ballots.

So there are two main findings: The Supreme Court's intervention probably
did not affect the outcome of the limited recounts then under way, and more
people probably cast valid votes for Gore than for Bush.

If the first finding was the important news, the consortium was scooped long
ago: The Miami Herald and USA Today, working as a separate team, published
stories in April that argued persuasively that the particular recounts that
were halted by the Supreme Court probably would have produced a Bush
victory.

What's new is the finding that, since voters are supposed to decide
elections rather than lawyers or judges, the state's electoral votes appear
to have gone to the wrong candidate. Given that the outcome in Florida
determined the national victor, this is not just news but a critical
challenge to the legitimacy of the presidency.

So how did the media report the results of the ballot reexamination?
Overwhelmingly, they chose to lead with the news that was comfortable,
uncontroversial-- and seven months old. In Election Review, Bush Wins
Without Supreme Court Help, was The Wall Street Journal's headline on its
story, paralleling The New York Times' Study of Disputed Florida Ballots
Finds Justices Did Not Cast the Deciding Vote. That angle would be fine if
you believed that the Supreme Court was the most important aspect of the
story; but what about the presidency?

Other members of the consortium emphasized the most Bush-friendly aspects of
the story: Bush Still Had Votes to Win in a Recount, Study Finds, was the
Tribune Co.'s Los Angeles Times' main headline on its report, matching The
Washington Post's Florida Recounts Would Have Favored Bush and CNN.com's
Florida Recount Study: Bush Still Wins. The St. Petersburg Times' Web site
put it succinctly: Recount: Bush. While some of these outlets tried to
convey greater complexity in subheads, all these headlines obscure the fact
that the outlets' most comprehensive recount put Gore ahead of Bush.

Emphasizing the old and conventional while playing down the new and
controversial is a recipe for being ignored, and sure enough, few outlets
that were not part of the consortium did much with the findings. A story

Taliban Withdrawal Was Strategy, Not Rout
2330 GMT, 03

Summary

In less than a week, Taliban fighters have been swept from most of northern
Afghanistan, including the key cities of Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat, Kunduz,
Taloqan, Bamiyan, Jalalabad and the capital Kabul. How did a force that only
two months ago controlled most of Afghanistan get swept from the battlefield
so quickly, and is the battle over? Evidence suggests it has only just
begun.

Analysis

Northern Alliance troops moved into Kabul on Nov. 13, less than a week after
launching an offensive that has swept the Taliban from most of northern
Afghanistan.

The Northern Alliance now controls the key cities of Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat,
Kunduz and Taloqan, all located astride vital supply routes into neighboring
countries. Popular uprisings have reportedly ousted the Taliban from Bamiyan
and Jalalabad, and there are even reports of anti-Taliban Pushtun forces
marching on Kandahar. On the surface it appears a lightning offensive by the
Northern Alliance -- supported by U.S. aerial bombardment -- has shattered
the Taliban army in a matter of days. But has the Taliban been defeated? An
examination of the Taliban withdrawal suggests the group has intentionally
surrendered territory in the interest of adopting tactics more amenable to
its strengths.

If the United States and its allies misread the Taliban withdrawal as a
rout, they could quickly find themselves locked in a nasty guerrilla war in
Afghanistan. Worse, that war is likely to spread beyond Afghanistan's
borders, as the core of Taliban and al Qaeda forces in that country seek to
secure their supply lines and capitalize on their strengths and their
opponents' weaknesses.

In order to evaluate whether the Taliban withdrawal from northern
Afghanistan was the routing of a defeated force or a strategic maneuver, we
must first look at the evidence on the ground.

Perhaps the key feature of the withdrawal is that it has come almost without
a fight. Neither the U.S. bombardment nor the Northern Alliance offensive
adequately explains this. The Taliban has a hardened army with many veterans
of the war against the Soviet Union. Taliban forces were renowned for their
dogged combat, stunning the Northern Alliance in previous battles by
advancing undeterred through minefields.

Before Sept. 11, the Taliban controlled some 95 percent of Afghanistan and
appeared poised to mop up the remnants of the opposition. In the weeks
before Mazar-e-Sharif fell, the Taliban soundly repelled a series of
Northern Alliance attacks on the city, and even the Northern Alliance
admitted they had not had time to prepare for a serious offensive.

In most cases, the Taliban's retreat was premeditated and orderly. The
fighting that occurred was a rear-guard action, often carried out by foreign
troops. Pakistani volunteers were left behind in Mazar-e-Sharif, and Arab
troops reportedly fought a vicious rear-guard action in Kabul. The Taliban
troops deployed armor to cover their withdrawal from Kabul, which occurred
at night in order to limit U.S. air strikes and preclude premature Northern
Alliance assaults.

The speed of the Northern Alliance's advance was not surprising. Rapid
advances are the norm in Afghanistan. The Taliban swept through the country
as quickly when the group first emerged in 1994 and 1995. Russia's initial
invasion of Afghanistan took only a few weeks.

Population density explains much of this phenomenon. Afghanistan has about
41 people per square kilometer -- less than a third the density of
neighboring Pakistan -- and this does not take refugees into account. Rugged
terrain means that much of Afghanistan is nearly uninhabited or is settled
in small villages. It is easy to sweep through this territory; there is
little to get in the way.

But there is a catch. Ethnic divisions, limited resources and logistical
difficulties have constrained the size of the armies that fought over
Afghanistan. At their peak, the Soviets had only about 90,000 troops in the
country, and the Taliban and Northern Alliance armies were far smaller.
Small armies and vast distances make frontal warfare difficult and
dangerous. Armies cannot afford to spare the troops necessary to garrison
the land they have overrun if they are to maintain a viable army at the
front.

This leads to thin front lines, with troops concentrated at key nodes and
with little reserve behind them. Once a front breaks or withdraws, an
opposing force can make tremendous advances. Anyone who has played the board
game Risk will recognize this.

Incidentally, this goes some way to explain the brutality of the Taliban
occupation. Because the Taliban forces could not afford to spare the troops
to garrison land they had overrun, they needed to utterly subjugate those
areas to preclude an uprising behind their lines.

One final factor explains the large numbers of defections among the Taliban
forces. Afghanistan is

The Marketing Of Osama bin Laden
The Times Of India
11-14-1

Suddenly, it's become a universal brand name. Chilean businessman Eduardo
Mateluna plans to launch an Osama bin Laden soap and bin Laden
air-fresheners. Chilean online news-site El Mostrador quoted Mateluna as
saying that he had no strong feelings about bin Laden but that it seemed
commercially attractive to register the name as a trademark.

It's a name that people already know, said Mateluna who had previously
sold a wine called General Pinochet after the Chilean dictator during whose
long reign of terror thousands of youth activists disappeared for ever.
Mateluna says the idea for registering the Osama name came to him after he
saw how quickly bin Laden masks sold for Halloween. Meanwhile, in northern
Mexico, street-sellers are hawking cassettes about the doings of Osama.

Radio Mexicana De Nuevo Laredo anchor Jose Luis Cardenas has been quoted as
saying that the songs about Osama are performed in the style of corridos -
folk songs popular in northern Mexico and which focus largely on current
events. Numero uno on the hit list of corridos about bin Laden is 'The song
of Osama' which recounts the events of September 11. Almost as popular is El
Corrido de Osama, a loose translation of which runs Across the skies, the
seas and the land/ they are looking for you bin Laden/ the terrorist whom
the CIA trained/ This was the biggest mistake of the American government.

Back in the US, that most-wanted face is being used to launch everything
from rolls of toilet paper and gun-targets to pinatas in the Texas border
town of McAllen. Harry Belafonte's 1960s calypso song 'Banana boat' (It's
six foot, seven foot, eight foot banana) has been rewritten with the lyrics
now saying Talibanbanana/ Air Force come and it flatten my home.

Meanwhile, on a Brazilian farm in Itaborai, an American cockerel called
George Bush and his Afghan counterpart Osama bin Laden have become the best
of friends, sharing the same roost and eating from the same plate. Man is
Nature's sole mistake, said W S Gilbert in Princess Ida. And Sir Jan
Laurens Van der Post observed in The Lost World of the Kalahari that Human
beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced
beyond doubt that they are right.

From America, with Hate

Powerful, U.S.-based shortwave radio stations are broadcasting extremist
propaganda around the world

by James Latham

I tell you what, to the stinkin’ sodomites out there, I’d like to beat ya
up. You make me sick. Lookin’ at the pictures I just seen today, bunch of
stinkin’ sodomite faggots, what you need is to be burned alive.— Nathan,
17-year-old member of Pastor John Lewis’ congregation, aired on shortwave
station WWFV, McCaysville, Ga., May 16, 2001

EL RODEO, Costa Rica — Emanating from half a dozen shortwave radio stations
scattered around the United States, the angry shouts and slurs of radical
Americans are being beamed around the world — to Japanese fishermen,
Australian businessmen and untold millions of other people.

As people around the globe turn the knobs on their shortwave radios, hate
speech — everything from the homophobic savagery of a 17-year-old Georgia
boy to the calls for revolution of a neo-Nazi West Virginian — is more and
more difficult to avoid. And the vast majority of these broadcasts are
coming from America.

Turn the tuning knob once or twice. Coming in clearly from WWCR in
Nashville, Tenn., anti-Semitic Colorado preacher Pete Peters is shouting.
The Bible, Peters thunders, says it’s okay to kill homosexuals. Give the
knob another twist, and there is neo-Nazi William Pierce, leader of the
National Alliance, describing Jews as a plague from his West Virginia
redoubt. Or tune in to WBCQ, the Maine station that began broadcasting
shortwave a few years ago under the motto, Peace, Love and Understanding.
Tonight, Hal Turner is on.

Some of these lazy-ass Latinos have got a lot of nerve, Turner hisses in a
broadcast with a potential audience in the millions. It’s bad enough that a
whole bunch of them are slithering across the border with wet backs and then
bringing their savage, Third World ways to the streets of civilized America.
But then once some of them get acclimated and assimilated, then they turn
around and start saying that we should adapt to their view. Well, I’m sorry…
. America thrives because we rejected the Third World savagery, the Third
World muck from which these people slithered, and I see no reason why we
should adopt their policy.

A Valentine to the World

Extremists in the last 20 years have increasingly taken to new forms of
communication to get their messages out to the widest possible audience. In
the 1980s, they began broadcasting on cable televison, using local access
laws to get racist, anti-Semitic or homophobic broadcasts aired. Soon, they
were convincing large numbers of am and fm stations to carry similar
broadcasts, often for free. It wasn’t long before they went international on
the Internet, putting up World Wide Web pages that could be accessed from
points around the globe.

And they discovered shortwave.

In 1991, Tom Valentine apparently became the first American to use shortwave
for far-right programming, kicking off a show that was broadcast from a
studio in Clearwater, Fla., and underwritten by The Spotlight newspaper, a
weekly published by the anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby. Although Valentine
tended toward the conspiratorial rather than race, he also hosted
anti-Semites like Eustace Mullins and Willis Carto, who founded Liberty
Lobby in 1955. Valentine’s show, which was often featured in The Spotlight
and was successful in gaining a sizeable audience, soon convinced other
far-right luminaries to go to shortwave. By 1993, a dozen far-right talk
show hosts were buying air time on three high-power shortwave stations. Two
years later, in 1995, 28 far-right hosts were buying some 560 hours of air
time a month. Today, an estimated 1,100 hours are sold every month to the
radical right.

Half the World is Listening

The potential audience is enormous. In January, Groupe France Telecom, the
telecommunications arm of the French government, estimated that 2.5 billion
people worldwide listen to shortwave radio on 1 billion receivers, with more
than 200 million tuned in at any given moment. Shortwave, the agency
concluded, remains the only means of reaching a broad audience anywhere in
the world.

Unlike the Internet, which requires an expensive computer, shortwave can be
accessed with a $50 receiver almost anywhere — on the high seas, for
instance, or in countries and regions where there is no Internet access. And
while some radio-based extremists use the Internet to audio stream their
shows (a format similar to radio), only a few hundred listeners generally
are able to access Net-based shows at any given moment. With shortwave,
there are no limits on listenership.

And the fact is, people do listen. Around the world, English has become the
leading language of international culture and commerce, and literally
millions of people are studying the language — often by listening to
shortwave broadcasts from America. Also,

US destroys Kabul office of Al-Jazeera with a smart bomb after criticizing
the Qatari TV station for inflammatory rhetoric.  Meanwhile, the pictures
of guys getting shaves in Kabul have kept this story off CNN.

Published on Tuesday, November 13, 2001 by the Associated Press
Al-Jazeera Kabul Office Destroyed by US Missile
by Adnan Malik

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates –– The Kabul office of the Arab satellite
channel Al-Jazeera, which the United States has criticized for its coverage
of the Afghan campaign, was destroyed early Tuesday by a U.S. missile, the
channel's managing director said.
The missile's target was unclear. The United States has been targeting
Taliban offices, installations and forces in a campaign that began Oct. 7
after the ruling Islamic militia refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, the
chief suspect in the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

No one was in the office when it was hit before dawn, said managing director
Mohammed Jassim al-Ali. He said its 10 staffers were believed to be safe but
their whereabouts were unknown.

All our equipment has been destroyed, but we believe that all our crew are
safe, al-Ali told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Qatar,
where the channel is headquartered. We don't know where our crew members
are. We are trying to see how we can communicate with them.

The Taliban Ministry for the Suppression of Vice and the Promotion of Virtue
was across the street from the Al-Jazeera office. Taliban anti-aircraft
positions were located on a hill nearby and the neighborhood, Wazir Akbar
Khan, was home to many Taliban officials.

The Taliban, whose hold on Afghanistan eroded under the U.S. bombing
campaign, fled Kabul overnight and northern alliance fighters roamed the
city Tuesday, seeking Arabs and other foreigners who fought with the
Taliban. At least five Pakistanis and two Arabs were killed.

Asked if he thought Al-Jazeera's office was deliberately targeted, al-Ali
said, They know where we are located and they know what we have in our
office and we also did not get any warning.

It could be difficult for Arab employees of al-Jazeera, including reporter
Tasir Alouni, to move around in Kabul, where they might by mistaken for
Arabs who came to Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban.

The missile also damaged the offices of The Associated Press and the British
Broadcasting Corp. in Kabul. On Tuesday, one side of the house in which Al
Jazeera's office was located was caved in, with twisted steel rods jutting
out.

Al-Jazeera has aired taped statements said to be made inside Afghanistan by
bin Laden and his aides, and Alouni became familiar to Arab viewers around
the world, providing live reports from Taliban-controlled areas barred to
most Western reporters.

He often described U.S. missiles hitting civilian areas and killing women
and children.

American officials have criticized Al-Jazeera's coverage of the bombing
campaign as inflammatory propaganda.

But the 24-hour station reaches more than 35 million Arabs, including
150,000 in the United States, and the Bush administration has acknowledged
its significance lately.

The station recently interviewed Secretary of State Colin Powell, National
Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

On Tuesday, Al-Jazeera showed CNN footage from Kabul and live coverage
Tuesday from its five-member crew in the Taliban's home base, the southern
city of Kandahar.

Directives from Attorney General Ashcroft's speech before EOUSA's
Anti-Terrorism Coordinators Conference

November 13, 2001


MEMORANDUM TO ALL UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS

FROM:   THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

SUBJECT:Cooperation with State and Local Officials in the Fight
Against Terrorism


 The September 11 attacks demonstrate that the war on
terrorism  must be fought and won at home as well as abroad.  To meet this
new threat and to prevent future attacks, law enforcement officials at all
levels of government -- federal, state, and local -- must work together,
sharing information and resources needed both to arrest and prosecute the
individuals responsible and to detect and destroy terrorist cells before
they can strike again.

  On October 26, 2001, the President signed into law the USA
PATRIOT Act of 2001.  A key feature of this anti-terrorism legislation is
its provisions requiring increased sharing of information among law
enforcement and national security personnel at all levels of
government.  These measures, proposed by the President, are critical to the
common effort to prevent and disrupt terrorist acts.  To win the war on
terrorism, federal prosecutors and law enforcement personnel must develop
and implement effective procedures for information-sharing and cooperation
with their state and local counterparts.  I therefore direct you to take
prompt action in three major areas:

 1.  Designation of Chief Information Officer.  To centralize the
process by which information relevant to the investigation and prosecution
of terrorists can be shared with state and local officials,  I hereby
direct you to designate a Chief Information Officer (CIO) to participate on
the Anti-Terrorism Task Force (ATTF) in your district.  The CIO shall
coordinate with the relevant Law Enforcement Coordination Committee (LECC)
to ensure that the LECC acts as a formal conduit of information with state
and local officials, including elected officials and local law enforcement
representatives.  The CIO need not be a new employee and may be your LECC
coordinator if he or she already has strong ties to state and local
officials in your district.  Where information is provided by state and
local officials to federal officials, the CIO should make every effort to
apprise the state and local individual or agency of any follow-up action
prompted by the information provided.  I further direct the CIO to assist
in making state and local officials aware of the various counter-terrorism
training resources available through the Department of Justice.

 2.  Information Sharing Structures.  To streamline the procedures
for information sharing between federal, state, and local officials in a
manner tailored to the needs of each district, I hereby direct the CIO in
your district to solicit from state and local officials suggestions on the
best way to disseminate information in your district.  After considering
those suggestions, the CIO, through the LECC, will establish, by December
1, 2001, communications protocols for sharing information with state and
local officials on the ATTF, as well as with chiefs of police and elected
officials who may not be members of the ATTF in their district.  At a
minimum the protocol in each district must include a system to communicate
information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  I also urge you to consider
including in your protocols daily or weekly conference calls with members
of the LECC, the ATTF, and with chiefs of police and elected officials who
may not be members of these committees.

 The protocols established pursuant to this directive will not only
provide a mechanism for federal officials to share information with their
state and local counterparts, but also must include procedures by which
state and local officials can forward information to federal officials.

 In fulfilling this directive, I further direct you to use, where
practicable,  technologies already  available and currently in use by the
Department to facilitate information-sharing, such as the Regional
Information Sharing System (RISS).  The RISS system comprises six regional
intelligence centers operating in various geographic regions, including all
50 states and the District of Columbia.  The RISS system has created
riss.net, the only secure internet-based national network for sharing of
criminal intelligence among federal, state, and local law enforcement
agencies.  RISS also operates secure WATS/patch and telephone

The systematic studies of Florida by a large consortium of media outlets are
in:

If a statewide recount of ALL ballots had been done:  Gore won, under
*all six different standards* that could be applied to the overvotes and
undervotes.

But Gore did not ask for a statewide recount, under any standard.

He asked for a limited recount in four counties but was shot down
by the US Supreme Court, which terminated all counting efforts.

Had that four-county recount been done, Bush would have won anyway.

Here's the url for the article:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/656172.asp?pne=msn

Here are the different ways to count the ballots and what the results would
have been:

FOUR COUNTIES. If Gore had been successful in his initial efforts for
recounts of all ballots in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Broward and Volusia
counties. Result: Bush ahead by 225 votes.

STATEWIDE UNDERVOTE: If the state Supreme Court-ordered recount on Dec. 9
had not been stopped by the U.S. Supreme Court. The review considered this
scenario under two different criteria — one that followed the court’s
literal instruction to examine only undervotes and another that followed the
intentions of each county’s election officials, some of whom told reporters
they also would examine overvotes. Result: Bush ahead, with a range of 430
to 493.

In the review of all the state’s disputed ballots, Gore edged ahead under
all six scenarios for counting all undervotes and overvotes statewide:

PREVAILING STANDARD: County election officials told Florida journalists how
they would define votes if required to do a recount and in this scenario the
majority standard was imposed statewide. In punch-card counties, ballots
with at least one corner of a chad detached counted as votes. In optical
scan counties, where voters are required to fill in blanks on a paper
ballot — like on a standardized test — ballots with any affirmative marks
counted. That means a vote counted even if the oval was not completely
filled in or a candidate’s name was circled or underlined; so did ballots on
which a voter correctly filled in the oval and also wrote the same candidate
’s name in the space for write-ins. Result: Gore ahead by 60 votes.

TWO-CORNER STANDARD: At least two corners of a chad must be detached to
count as a vote, a position that had been argued, at times, by Bush
supporters. Same as prevailing standard for optical scan ballots. Result:
Gore ahead by 105 votes.

MOST INCLUSIVE: Ballots with dimpled chads count as votes, an argument often
made by Gore supporters. Same as prevailing standard for optical scan
ballots. Result: Gore ahead by 107 votes.

LEAST INCLUSIVE: Only cleanly punched chads count as valid votes. For
optical scan, only fully filled ovals and those ballots on which a voter
filled in the oval and wrote in the candidate’s name, too. Result: Gore
ahead by 115 votes.

COUNTY-by-COUNTY: Drawn from the county election officials. It accepts
results from Broward and Volusia counties because those counties completed
hand counts that were included in state-certified election totals. For those
counties that said they would not count overvotes, relies on prevailing
standard. Result: Gore ahead by 171 votes.

PALM BEACH STANDARD: Based on a standard Palm Beach election officials
briefly used, this counts dimpled chads as valid votes if a pattern of
dimpled chads exists elsewhere on the same ballot. Same as prevailing
standard for optical scan ballots. Result: Gore ahead by 42 votes.

Bin Laden rails against Crusaders and UN


Osama Bin Laden's latest challenge to the West and rallying cry to the
Muslim world was broadcast on Al-Jazeera satellite television channel on
Saturday 3 November. The date and location of the recording was not given.
The following is the text as broadcast:
We praise God, seek His help, and ask for His forgiveness.

We seek refuge in God from the evils of our souls and our bad deeds.

A person who is guided by God will never be misguided by anyone and a person
who is misguided by God can never be guided by anyone.

I bear witness that there is no God but Allah alone, Who has no partner.

Attacks divide world

Amid the huge developments and in the wake of the great strikes that hit the
United States in its most important locations in New York and Washington, a
huge media clamour has been raised.

This clamour is unprecedented. It conveyed the opinions of people on these
events.

People were divided into two parts. The first part supported these strikes
against US tyranny, while the second denounced them.

Afterward, when the United States launched the unjust campaign against the
Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan, people also split into two parties.

The first supported these campaigns, while the second denounced and rejected
them.

These tremendous incidents, which have split people into two parties, are of
great interest to the Muslims, since many of the rulings pertain to them.

These rulings are closely related to Islam and the acts that corrupt a
person's Islam.

Therefore, the Muslims must understand the nature and truth of this conflict
so that it will be easy for them to determine where they stand.

While talking about the truth of the conflict, opinion polls in the world
have shown that a little more than 80 per cent of Westerners, of Christians
in the United States and elsewhere, have been saddened by the strikes that
hit the United States.

The polls showed that the vast majority of the sons of the Islamic world
were happy about these strikes because they believe that the strikes were in
reaction to the huge criminality practiced by Israel and the United States
in Palestine and other Muslim countries.

After the strikes on Afghanistan began, these groups changed positions.

Those who were happy about striking the United States felt sad when
Afghanistan was hit, and those who felt sad when the United States was hit
were happy when Afghanistan was hit. These groups comprise millions of
people.

Barbaric West

The entire West, with the exception of a few countries, supports this
unfair, barbaric campaign, although there is no evidence of the involvement
of the people of Afghanistan in what happened in America.

The people of Afghanistan had nothing to do with this matter. The campaign,
however, continues to unjustly annihilate the villagers and civilians,
children, women, and innocent people.

The positions of the two sides are very clear. Mass demonstrations have
spread from the farthest point in the eastern part of the Islamic world to
the farthest point in the western part of the Islamic world, and from
Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan to the Arab world and
Nigeria and Mauritania.

War fundamentally religious

This clearly indicates the nature of this war. This war is fundamentally
religious. The people of the East are Muslims. They sympathized with Muslims
against the people of the West, who are the crusaders.

Those who try to cover this crystal clear fact, which the entire world has
admitted, are deceiving the Islamic nation.

They are trying to deflect the attention of the Islamic nation from the
truth of this conflict.

This fact is proven in the book of God Almighty and in the teachings of our
messenger, may God's peace and blessings be upon him.

Under no circumstances should we forget this enmity between us and the
infidels. For, the enmity is based on creed.

Muslims must stand together

We must be loyal to the believers and those who believe that there is no God
but Allah.

We should also renounce the atheists and infidels. It suffices me to seek
God's help against them.

God says: Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee
unless thou follow their form of religion.

It is a question of faith, not a war against terrorism, as Bush and Blair
try to depict it.

Many thieves belonging to this nation were captured in the past. But, nobody
moved.

The masses which moved in the East and West have not done so for the sake of
Osama.

Rather, they moved for the sake of their religion. This is because they know
that they are right and that they resist the most ferocious, serious, and
violent Crusade campaign against Islam ever since the message was revealed
to Muhammad, may God's peace and blessings be upon.

After this has become clear, the Muslim must know and learn where he is
standing vis-a-vis this war.

PROPAGANDA AND SOCIAL CONTROL
A Panel Discussion featuring:

John Judge
Lori Bradford
Steve Hassna


Brett McCabe: I'd like to introduce our first panel,

(snip)

Steve Hassna is a former Staff Sergeant, US Army and a
Vietnam Veteran. He lives in Berkeley and is an
activist for Veterans rights and against war. A poet
and public speaker, he is also part of the Vietnam
Speaker's Alliance and the National Committee Against
Registration and the Draft.


(snip)


Steve Hassna: I'm going to talk about the military as
far as an apparatus for controlling people. One of the
jobs I had when I returned from Vietnam was I was
issued this hat. Army Drill Sergeant. I was trained,
by the US Army, in various tactics of psychological
control to get 40 people at a time to do what they're
told without them thinking about it.

I'm going to talk about the military as far as it's
control and how it's used to manipulate people and get
them to do things they normally wouldn't do. I left
Vietnam, I was with the 101st Airborne
division, as an Infantry Paratrooper, pointman, squad
leader, tunnel rat. I was there in 1967-'68, I went
through the Tet Offensive, returned here, and was
issued this hat [Army Drill Sergeant] OK? The United
States Army has what is called it's Drill Sergeant
School. It's a 6 week course . . . [piercing sound
from PA system] . . . Ow!


Lori Bradford: [half in jest]  It's mind control.


Steve Hassna: OK . . . Drill Sergeant school is a six
week course where you are trained to give instruction
for basic training. Now, mentioned here today, has
been an historical process of, if you don't know the
historical process of what happened before, you have a

tendency of repeating it over and over again. I did
not know the historical process that got us into the
Vietnam conflict and consequently enlisted in the
United States Army in l966. Later, when I got out of
the army and started looking at what I had gone
through and how I had been manipulated as a trainee
and then controlled as a soldier in the field in
Vietnam and then came back and was put through a
school to then train people to go and do exactly what
I had done a year prior.

I did not know when I went into the army that we had
trained and financed Ho Chi Minh's forces during WWII
to fight the common enemy, the Japanese. And one of
the tactics we had trained Ho Chi Minh's people in was
Col. Robert Rogers Rules of Order which is the basic
Army Ranger tactics that were developed by Col. Robert
Rogers during the French and Indian Wars in the 1700's
here in the United States. These tactics were taught
to Ho Chi Minh's people, aside from what they already
knew about fighting in their own country.

I did not know this. I did not know or read the books,
or study (because I was a child growing up, in the
50's), the different manipulative factors that we did
as far as Southeast Asia to control the economy, the
political atmosphere, the military atmosphere, and
everything else.

And consequently I participated in that war, and then,
like I said, trained 1200 young men to go and do
exactly what I did.

And what did I train them in? I trained them in
patriotism, in love of country, in amplifying the
feeling of worth for your country by serving your
country as it's a noble cause. And I also trained them

in very . . . um . . . it's embarrassing to me, it . .
. it's shameful, but . . . tactics of hating the
Vietnamese. I'll just use the Vietnamese as an
example. But an American soldier was supposed to be in
Vietnam to help the Vietnamese decide their own
political destiny, as an ally. And yet in training,
the Vietnamese were referred to as gooks and
slopes and dinks and zipperheads and
everything else that you could thing of to make the
Vietnamese look subhuman and less than intelligent. So
that when you killed them, you really weren't killing
a human being, you were killing this subhuman
creature.

And that was my job.

Even though that was not why I went into the military
to serve my country. But that was the job that I did.
And today, 20 years later, I still have a hard time
sleeping at night.

Now, why would a country that is supposedly based on
the foundations of freedom, democracy and equality for
people, train their soldiers in such tactics? Because
if you're gonna employ your troops in such an inhuman
fashion, you have to have them operate against people
and not look at them as being human.

We would have silhouette targets. Little pop-up
silhouette targets at the rifle range. You'd shoot at
them, the bullet would hit it and they'd fall down and
then come back up. Electronically controlled. Human
shaped. In the close range combat courses these
silhouette targets were actual, you know, with a . . .
a life-like figure was painted onto the silhouette
target. And usually it was of a Viet Cong. The

 And it's the blue moon for those who live within the Central,

 wait until Nov. 30.)
 A blue moon is not an actual blue moon, but the second full moon
 in a calendar month. The last one occurred over two years ago.

Let's see if I get this:  People invent calendars that arbitrarily
but systematically try to reconcile the unsynchronized cycles of
Terra, Luna, Sol, planets and stars.  Then people [individually or
in groups] assign arbitrary but systematic meanings to various of
the points of those calendars.  Then people [who haven't noticed
the arbitrary but systematic nature of their calendars] register
more-or-less strong emotions when certain cycles intersect, with
some of those arbitrarily- but systematically-assigned meanings
featuring strongly in the emotional expressions.  And all because
we haven't the wit to build more rational calendars, or develop
more rational belief systems, or find something more important to
obsess over.  Is that about it?  Yeah, I thought so...

Feeding Fears - for Ratings


Marvin Kitman

October 28, 2001

I DON'T SCARE EASY.

I grew up in Pittsburgh and live in New Jersey, both places where we don't
trust the air unless we can see it. Anybody breathing the air in New Jersey
is fearless. I read somewhere it was like smoking three packs of cigarettes
a day just living there.

I've lived through the arsenic-in-the-water scare at the beginning of the
Bush administration. Without meaning to be boastful, we have always had
arsenic in the water in New Jersey. We have all the other minerals and
metals, too. Our water is so heavy we could make atom bombs with it.

I have lived through the hoof and mouth disease scare on TV, even though
humans can't get it.

I'm tough.

Still, watching the coverage of the anthrax story on TV the last two weeks
has convinced me that I have anthrax. If you don't think you have anthrax,
the 24/7 coverage on our cable news networks makes me wonder what's wrong
with you.

TV, I'm not ashamed to admit, has managed to scare the dickens out of me.

It started with one dead, the first American diagnosed with the deadliest
form of anthrax since 1978. Then it rose to two. And rose again to three. In
a nation of 281,421,906 (latest census), the odds of getting the Big A are
about similar to having a safe falling on you while walking down the street.

But that hasn't prevented me from becoming a walking basket case. Such is
the power of the basic modern TV journalism principle of giving one piece of
news and repeating it all day long.

Anway, it's not the numbers that are so deadly. It's the blow to the
national brain.

We are in a state of perpetual anxiety. Where will it hit next? Why are they
doing this to us? Who are they? What did we do to deserve this?

As I race around the dial like a rat in a maze trying to get answers, I am
watching the news. But the news is making me sick. Or at least sick of
watching the news.

They keep telling me not to panic, while doing everything possible to panic
me. Especially the breaking news bulletins on CNN, presumably of special
import. And then it turns out that lab tests are in, and a suspected anthrax
victim hasn't got it, even though an earlier breaking news flash said, He
might have gotten it. But stop the presses anyway.

CNN, the network of breaking news, has left me a broken man. I sit there
watching CNN Headline News, doing my duty to be an informed good citizen.
Some entertainment reporter ditz, pressed into hard-news service, is QA-ing
the CNN medical authority, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, about the anthrax issues
America's most concerned about. He tells us all about false positives and
double negatives and spores in the nose, all of which makes me wonder what
would turn up if they took swabs of our noses in New Jersey.

There are three types of anthrax, Dr. Gupta explained again: skin,
inhalation and the kind you get from eating infected meat or working with
infected animals, alive or dead. Not to mention feeling sick from watching
TV.

I don't know which is scarier: the bioterrorists sending anthrax in the
mail, or those defending us against it. Our health officials seem somewhat
confused. The government tells us to go about our business, not to panic.
And then it sends everybody home from work, closing the Capitol.

Government spokesmen keep telling us to resume our normal life, which
includes, presumably, watching TV, which of course is poisonous. That's what
is causing the trouble in the first place. The manipulation, the reiteration
of the same bits of carefully selected news make us unquestioning zombies in
the hands of the spin doctors.

The network news mullahs are doing their best to scare us. But I don't think
it's a plot. It's something they do all the time. Remember what they did to
us with the Y2K problem, the Great Millennium Computer Scare of 1999? I
still have bottles of water and batteries left over from that Armageddon.

Take the local news, please. There's the possibility of snow, with
accumulations of up to three inches. A mad bomber scare. A lunatic jabbing
needles into people's arms on the subways, so by the time you got downtown
you'd be a hopeless drug addict. A gas shortage. Killer salads. Giant rats.
Internet porno. Crime in the streets. Crime not in the streets. The
newscasters don't care - as long as it makes your hair stand up. It's a
wonder any of us ever went outside our houses.

With the bioterorrists, the fear factor has escalated. It's a bonanza for
scareologists in the news departments.

As the news unfolded, it was as if there was a fifth column in our midst.

This week, the scarecrow campaign turned to smallpox. The talking heads told
us not to worry. And they told us how terrorists could start a plague - as
if they didn't know. Forget the mails. All they had to do was send somebody
into Delray Beach with a suitcase filled with smallpox.

The news mullahs, I repeat, are not on the enemy's side.

 ... the United States should have done two things. The first would have
 been an immediate surprise attack on Iraq, with the twin objectives of
 the destruction of the infrastructure of Iraqi intelligence and the
 killing of Saddam Hussein. ... Second, a substantial ground force should
 have been assembled and sent into Afghanistan as quickly as possible,
 with the objective of killing as much of the leadership as possible,
 with particular emphasis on Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar.

The voices in Whitley's head have been advising him again, so they must
be right.  I mean, ya GOTTA trust yer voices, right?  But since ground
operations have virtually zero chance of rooting-up up Saddam, bin Laden,
and Omar, his voices must be Jihadis.  Bother.

 With many federal workers nearing retirement age, some experts
 fear war on terrorism could be hindered by lack of personnel.

 Do they mean federal workers in the usual sense?  Could they
 also be referring to military personnel?

Retired military can always be recalled to active duty as needed.
Retired civilians have to be coaxed.  But the laws may change to
handle that problem, eh?  Expect to see a Critical Personnel

"The Alphabet Versus the Goddess : The Conflict Between Word and Image"
proposes that the invention of alphabetic writing rewired the brains of
those who learned how to communicate using this culture-changing tool.
Great social benefits followed. But a precipitous decline in feminine
values manifested by women's status, goddess veneration, nature, and rep-
resentative art occurred in tandem. For example, the European witchhunts
followed closely in the heels of the printing press. The return of the
image in the modern age through the medium of photography, film, TV, and
internet have brought about a sharp rise in the values denigrated during
the 5000 year reign of patriarchy and literacy.

# Crop Circles and the Matrix. An archaeocryptographer continues work on the
  re-discovery of a comprehensive 'Matrix' of Grid Points involving precise
  lats/longs of famous ancient monuments, stone circles, mounds, etc. found
  to exist on this planet and elsewhere. "We even have structures at Cydonia
  [Mars] documented to be in this matrix. It is a CONSISTENT, SUBSTANTIAL, 
  SPECIFIC body of evidence."Studying this year's crop formations in England
   using GPS, it's possible to plot with extreme accuracy the glyphs that
  appear in fields  in turn their relationship to the matrix. Research has
  also shown that the Barbury Castle Crop Formation is precisely-referential
  to the Great Pyramid, The Quetzalcoatl Pyramid, and 'The DM Pyramid' at
  Cydonia on Mars: http://www.farshore.force9.co.uk/mlmindex.htm

: Have you cut any crop circles on Mars/Europa/Bigfeets lately? Are pyramids
securely hidden on Venus/Io/Scotland? Are your grid points well documented?
Are Geospatial Runelines the secret of interplanetary/interstellar travel??

Editor's Note: Voices in my head have instructed me to suspend publication
of SkeptiNews bulletins for the immediate future. Sure, there are seemingly
disconnected portents - the 'event' on my wintel machine that wiped out much
of today's material - my upcoming abduction to tsurf the tsunami at Tsahoe -
and other endeavours require my attention. But how can I refuse the voices?

If any energetic skeptic(s) would like to take over publication, contact me
for details of sources and destinations. No money is required. Or available.

SkeptiChat subscribers: the list will continue to exist, we'll proceed with
the usual banter, but it'd be nice if y'all would contribute some more items
of UFOlogical/paranormal/conspiratorial/transhumanic/superscientific bent.

In keeping with my policy of not throwing ANYTHING away, following are the
news items etc that were intended for today's bulletins, that survived the
BillGates-driven purge this morning. Think up your own questions. Cya --Ric

# Natural Disasters from Outer Space. Is it possible for a large asteroid to
  hit the Earth with less than one week's notice? Absolutely! Space abounds
  with many Near-Earth-Objects (NEO) whose orbits pass close to Earth's path
  around the Sun. The main threats to Earth come from wayward comets  ast-
  eroids that have been bumped from their routine paths into Earth-crossing
  orbits. http://space.edu/public/publications/abstracts/wood/saunders.html

# Dowsing Still Holds Water After Eons. Scientists in search of an answer
  have analyzed brain waves and run field tests. But evidence of dowsing's
  validity remains mostly anecdotal. One large-scale German study in the
  late '80s involved dowsers trying to divine the location of water pipes
  beneath the floorboards of a barn. The success rate for most dowsers was
  nearly equal to chance, though researchers did find a few dowsers with
  a high success rate. http://www.farshore.force9.co.uk/p_dowse0.htm

# PRELIMINARY SEARCH FOR RUIN-LIKE FORMATIONS ON MOON. Luna indicates possi-
  ble alien visits to the Earth during past ~4 bln years. New computer algo-
  rithms were used for archaeological reconnaissance - ruin-like formations
  were found. According to fractal analysis, some of these finds are differ-
  ent from the lunar surface on which they sit, and formally resemble terre-
  strial archaeological objects. http://astrosurf.com/lunascan/arkhipov2.htm

# COMPELLING LUNAR ANOMALIES. These images represent but a few of the many
  anomalous images available from NASA archives. The noted features in the
  images below suggest a far more interesting picture of the moon than is
  typically painted by mainstream astronomy. A stark, bland, lifeless rock?

away from the hidden Nazi moon bases? Who's orchestrating the disinformation
campaign? Is NASA an arm of the Reich? Is fractal analysis a Jewish plot??

  2000, some folks are disappointed that robots aren't everywhere. After
  all, isn't that what futurists promised? In reality, robots are around
  more than many people think. Most simply haven't noticed yet. Mechanical
  beings are playing soccer, fetching the newspaper, and keeping people

# Stonehenge opens to public. STONEHENGE, England (AP) - For the first time
  in 16 years, ordinary observers of the summer solstice had permission to
  spend the night at the prehistoric Stonehenge monument to watch the sun
  rise on the year's longest day. Revelers were banned from holding solstice
  ceremonies at the 5000-year-old Stonehenge site in 1985 after clashes with
  police, and a four-mile exclusion order was later put in place. The stones
  are the remnants of the last in a sequence of circular monuments aligned

# Strange Encounter In Italy - 1927 - Morning, Corbola (Rovigo), near the Po
  river. 11-year-old Francesca was taking water from the Po river when she
  saw a round, shining thing coming down into the river. A few minutes later
  it came out of the 'boiling' water and sped into the sky, but not before
  the girl noticed a small man within it, visible from the neck up. A sound
  was also heard. http://www.ufomind.com/ufo/updates/2000/jun/m17-006.shtml

# BOTH GENETIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RISK FACTORS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO ANXIETY
  DISORDERS. Start worrying. Now. http://psychiatry.medscape.com/23312.rhtml
# NO DIRECT CAUSAL LINK FOUND BETWEEN FAMILY SIZE, BIRTH ORDER, IQ. Contrary
  to popular belief, having more children born into a family does not neces-
  sarily result in lower-IQ kids. http://psychiatry.medscape.com/22917.rhtml

# SPACE ALIEN POOP IS MAKING US SICK, SICK, SICK! WASHINGTON -- Millions of
  people around the world have contracted a strange and potentially fatal
  virus -- from space alien feces! And at least one expert predicts that by
  the year 2002, one in every two Americans will have had the debilitating
  illness. I feel giddy: http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/stories/1989.html

: Are you sickened by genetics, society, psychology, friends, angels/aliens,
deities/demons, parents/children/cousins/inlaws, robots, me? Did your family
lower your IQ our would you have been a moron anyway? Are you anxious? When?

# A step nearer to fish on bicycles. In another triumph of science, resear-
  chers have created a fish on wheels. Actually, they took part of the brain
  of a lamprey, an aquatic parasite, and connected it to a mobile robot: the
  "artificial animal". http://www.smh.com.au/news/0006/17/text/world14.html

# The future arrives, but without a rocket. For we who were born around the
  midpoint of the 20th Century, who viewed the coming of the 21st as some-
  thing both wonderously distant and yet within the reach of our lifetimes,
  it is not merely a question, but The Question: Where are our jetpacks?

@ Everything is up for grabs. The grand sweep of intellectual landscape lies
  before us, and profound changes are afoot. You change the world with your
  every move. Be careful: http://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge70.html

: Are you disappointed with the past/present/future? Have'ya changed reality
lately? Does y'r imagination/intellect/instinct transcend the limitations of
the mundane universe? Are fish on bicycles a reasonable goal? Who's paying??

# 'HOT' FUEL CELLS GET COOLER AND COOLER. Fuel-cell technology is cool. It
  offers the promise of low-emission power generation for everything from
  cars to entire metropolitan areas. And Japanese researchers say they have
  built a fuel cell that runs efficiently at temperatures as low as 932
  degrees Fahrenheit. http://CNN.com/2000/NATURE/06/16/fuel.cells.enn/

# Lethal leaks - Wigner energy trapped in damaged nukes could scupper plans
  to dismantle them. Yow: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news_224334.html
# Hidden power - Low-maintenance wind turbines can be tucked away out of
  sight, out of mind: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news_224335.html

# A tired 'sky is falling' premise: It will be hot because of the sun, not
  because of manmade gases. WASHINGTON. Here we go again. Now that summer is
  here  temperatures are rising, environmental scaremongers are raising the
  rhetoric that man-made global warming is dangerously heating the planet
  and we must make economically drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions to
  halt it. Well, why not?

# RadioShack Plans Mission To Moon. FT. WORTH -- RadioShack Corp. announced
  it is partnering with a small Virginia-based space exploration start-up to
  put a robotic rover on the moon in 2003 sporting a RadioShack logo. Dubbed

  manently dark spots on the moon, such as craters, in an attempt to locate

@ THREE VERY DIFFERENT TYPES OF SUBJECTIVE LIGHT. As a researcher of near-
  death states, I know that any type of near-death experience can be life
  changing. But as an experiencer, I can positively affirm that being bathed
  in The Light on the other side of death is more than life changing. That
  light is the very essence, the heart and soul, the all-consuming consum-
  mation of ecstatic ecstasy. http://www.cinemind.com/atwater/3sublight.html

# Big Bang Machine Begins Work - World Survives, So Far. The first spectacu-
  lar images of atoms smashing together at near-light speed spewed from an
  experiment that will eventually generate a state of matter that existed a
  microsecond after the Big Bang. A milestone in physics, the research has
  also generated heated debate and several doomsday theories - including one
  that argues the experiment might release particles called "strangelets,"
  which could gobble the globe. Fear: http://www.msnbc.com/news/314049.asp
