-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! OCTOBER SURPRISE? With the presidential elections just around the corner, rumors are running rampant in Washington that the Clinton White House is contemplating an "October Surprise" to enhance the flailing candidacy of Al Gore. Kenneth R. Timmerman of the Western Journalism Center suggested this week that the Clinton administration is hoping to negotiate a "package deal" with the government of Iran in time for the elections that would lead to renewed diplomatic relations, and give President Clinton a much sought-after "legacy" in foreign affairs. "If successful," Mr. Timmerman reported, "the deal would restore complete commercial ties between the two countries, allowing U.S. oil companies to invest in Iran and to buy Iranian crude oil while allowing President Clinton and Vice President Gore to claim credit for "resolving" the current oil crisis, all in time for the elections." He added, "To win the approval of the Iranian government - the main sticking point for the scheme - the Clinton administration has taken extraordinary steps to protect Iranian government assets in the United States from being used to compensate the families of victims of Iranian-backed terrorist attacks. In a series of successful lawsuits brought under a 1996 anti-terrorism law, the families have won awards totaling more than $1.6 billion against the Iranian government." Another October Surprise could involve the release of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard. "Nowhere is Pollard's freedom a more sensitive issue than in New York, where prominent Jewish leaders have called for his immediate release," Mr. Timmerman reported. "They argue that Pollard was sentenced to life for a crime he was never accused of committing - and they are right. Pollard was indicted for illegally divulging classified documents to a U.S. ally, but at the last minute, the government introduced a still-classified damage assessment written by then Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, which accused him of treason. President Clinton has twice reviewed Pollard's case and refused to grant him clemency, at the urging of successive CIA directors. But Hillary Rodham Clinton, now a candidate for the U.S. Senate in New York, has called on the government to reopen his file and make public the charges against him." Of course, the timing of a potential Pollard release could seriously impact the New York Senate race. A third potential October Surprise, which was reported to me by a veteran Washington insider, suggests that President Clinton may feign an illness with only days to go prior to the election. This contrived sickness would permit Al Gore to sit in the Oval Office, allowing him to appear to be serious, solemn and the calming force of stability during such a rare crisis - just before the consequential election. (This is admittedly far-fetch and even I doubt Mr. Clinton would stoop this low.) Since this is the most unscrupulous White House in history, we should expect virtually anything from them as Mr. Clinton attempts to prolong his alleged legacy through the candidacies of Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Gore. I hope if the White House is foolish enough to enact one of these October Surprises that our fellow Americans will be able to see it for what it is - a desperate act by immoral and power- hungry leaders. << STANDING WITH 'DR. LAURA': The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is continuing their assault on Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Sadly, GLAAD and other homosexual-rights groups have convinced a host of advertisers to withdraw sponsorship of Dr. Schlessinger's new television show, "Dr. Laura," as well as her popular radio broadcast. The reason Dr. Schlessinger has been targeted by these groups is simply because she advocates Judeo- Christian values and is vocally outspoken against all sexual activity outside the bonds of traditional marriage. Presently, Dr. Schlessinger's television show is on hiatus while producers reformat it. GLAAD Executive Director Joan M. Garry said, "GLAAD hopes that the "Dr. Laura" hiatus is a permanent one, and that Paramount will disassociate itself from Schlessinger's messages of hurt and intolerance. Hiatus or not, GLAAD will remain vigilant in monitoring the program and working across the country with advertisers who are supporting the program. Schlessinger should not have been given a new platform for her campaign of misinformation and defamation of our community." GLAAD is presently seeking out two major advertisers - Pillsbury and International Home Foods (maker of Chef Boyardee foods, Gulden's Mustard, Pam Cooking Spray, and many other products) - urging them to drop sponsorship of "Dr. Laura." Both companies recently began advertising on the television show after Paramount lowered advertising rates to enlist new advertisers. Ms. Garry recently told GLAAD supporters: "It is extremely important that you contact these advertisers today and let them know that even at bargain-basement prices, associating with prejudice is not worth the cost." Therefore, I am encouraging all concerned Americans to contact both of these companies to thank them for advertising on "Dr. Laura." (By the way, Dr. Laura reported today that her show has been reformatted and will begin afresh on Monday.) You may contact these companies and respectfully thank them for their sponsorship of Dr. Laura's television show through the following venues: The Pillsbury Company Phone: 612-330-4966 (State that you are calling regarding the "Dr. Laura" television show. One of my staff members called today and was told by a Pillsbury spokesman that the company looks "every day" at their customer comments, meaning your call is very important. Encourage your friends to call, as well.) Fax: 612-330-7283 International Home Foods Phone: 800-544-5680 (Press 4 for Customer Comment Line and you will be connected to a live representative) Fax: 973-254-5473 *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
