Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT By Christopher Bollyn The Danish people have prevailed over the big-money oligarchs of Europe and voted to keep the krone (crown), their national currency and symbol of Den mark�s sovereignty. On Sept. 28, the Danes rejected the euro by a vote of 53 to 47 percent and won a decisive battle against the European financial elites who sought to abolish their national currency and replace it with the euro, the common currency of the European Union. Rejecting membership in the �euro-zone� in a national referendum, 87 percent of the electorate turned out in a historic vote to defend their econo mic sovereignty and dealt a severe blow to the troubled common currency of the European super-state. The euro, which is shared by 11 na tions, has steadily declined in value, losing almost 30 percent against the dollar since it was introduced in January 1999. The Danish referendum on whether to adopt the euro, however, was about much more than money. �The essential issue is the preservation of our sovereignty,� Pia Kjaersgaard, leader of the Danish People�s Party and opponent of the euro said. �The euro will erode our national authority and identity at a time when Denmark is already be coming more and more multiethnic and globalized.� Ms. Kjaersgaard�s anti-immigration policy has drawn comparisons to the po sitions of Pat Buchanan, Joerg Haider of the Austrian Freedom Party and Jean Marie Le Pen of France�s National Front. �Do we want to lose control of our lives with more and more decisions made by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt or in Brussels?� she said. �Do we want this multiculturalism, this multi-ethnicity, about which the country was never consulted? I say we don�t want either.� The campaign for the euro in Denmark was a lopsided affair pitting Ms. Kjaers gaard, �an ordinary housewife with three children� against the big-money interests of Europe. In a speech in England last December, Ms Kjaersgaard warned the Third Con gress for Democracy that the struggle to maintain national sovereignty in Europe would not be easy. �The powers we are up against are dreadfully strong,� she told attendees of the meeting. Leading the �eurocrat� forces for the European Union is the Association for the Monetary Union of Europe, founded in 1987 by European industrialists, whose board of directors includes the heavy-hitters of the Bilderberg club: Viscount Etienne Davignon, Giovanni Agnelli, Jacob Wallenberg and Kenneth Clarke, to name but a few. The Center for European Policy Studies, the official European Union think tank with headquarters in Brus sels, is directed by an elite group of bank ers, barons, princes, and the very same viscount Etienne Davignon. Following the big boys, Danish proponents of the euro include most elites of business and labor, the Danish mass-media and 46 of Denmark�s 48 newspapers. European Union propaganda is even aimed at children in elementary schools across Denmark. Against this mighty machine rose a modern-day Joan of Arc ready to throw a wrench in the works in order to defend the sovereignty of her nation against �that federal state that the peoples of Europe don�t want.� The euro has been described as �an economic device designed solely to achieve a political end�namely a federal Europe of impotent member states��under the control of the Brussels-based bureaucracy led by the oligarchs of Europe and their appointed ministers. The ascent of the European Union (EU) coincided with the demise of the Soviet Union; as the Warsaw Pact disintegrated in the East, a new European super-state was rising in the West. throwback to stalin During the past year the EU has displayed a similar leftist intolerance of democracy and national sovereignty shown by Stalin�s Soviet Union. The unelected �komissars of political correctness� in the EU reacted to the elections in Austria in which Haider�s Free dom Party won 27 percent of the vote by applying sanctions to the Austrian na tion. The Danish public sided with the Austrians and disapproved of the EU bullying of a small nation. The sanctions were hurting the euro campaign in Den mark and were recently jettisoned in an attempt to manipulate Danish public opi nion to support of the euro. Apart from the current weakness of the euro, the Danes who opposed membership in the �euro-zone� feared that joining would result in a reduction in the Danish standard of living, a lowering of the value of the retirement pensions and an increase in immigration. The Danish referendum was being closely watched in Britain and Sweden where similar decisions will have to be made in the future. Ms. Kjaersgaard saw the euro falling apart and said neither Sweden nor Bri tain would ever hold referendums on the issue if Denmark voted �no�. �I think, in the longer view, that the single currency could break down if we vote �no.� � Dual Loyalist Unmasked In Mideast Scandal Backstage at Israeli Ambassador Martin Indyk�s unhappy ending, Clinton�s Mideast meddling sets the scene for a script full of dirty deals. Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT By Martin Mann Behind the scenes, the recent official announcement that the security clearance of Martin Indyk, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, has been �suspended� while his alleged security violations are being investigated, marks a turning point in U.S. intervention in the Middle East�years of meddling involving not just regional power brokers but the powerful organized-crime syndicates that are the peculiar hallmark of Israeli society. Israel is on the verge of civil war,� warned Ovadia Yosef, the orthodox chief rabbi, last month. His followers de nounced the Barak regime as �traitors,� ending in sharp confrontation with leading secular politicians who were less hostile to the Barak-Clinton axis. In this inflamed atmosphere, leaders of the orthodox Jewish fundamentalists (known as the haredim) and Israeli crime-syndicate bosses decided that Indyk�now serving as the U.S. ambassador to Israel and blamed by the orthodox for the Clinton administration�s crude manipulation of Middle Eastern affairs�must go. Early last month, retired Gen. Ariel Sharon, the tough godfather of hardline Zionism, known as the �The Butcher� for his killer forays against dissident Arab settlements, arrived in Washington accompanied by several orthodox aides. They confronted U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright with an explosive report charging that Indyk had resorted to bribery, threats, coercion, false promises and frequent unauthorized use of classified State Department files in a crude campaign to bend Middle Eastern leaders and their policy decisions to his will. The report, compiled in part by orthodox gangland operators who bugged some of Indyk�s back-room meetings, was �painfully detailed,� said a veteran UN political analyst, who, like other sources, asked for anonymity when discussing such �ultra-sensitive� matters. Under the circumstances, Albright could not ignore what is a ticking time-bomb of an international scandal. She suspended Indyk, with the understanding that by the time this affair could reach any sort of resolution, both she and the embattled envoy will be looking for new jobs. ORTHODOX OUTLAWS In Israel, under what is probably the world�s most permissive legal system and no written constitution, rackets that are strictly banned in most civilized na tions�money laundering, drug-profit banking, weapons smuggling, white slavery, the trade in illicit �blood� diamonds, international assassination and kidnap contracts executed by Israeli government agents for hire�are considered perfectly legal. Such outlaw operations now account for a major segment of the Israeli economy, contributing tens of billions of dollars yearly to Israel�s revenues�and to the finances of the political parties who have divided control of these �black� business empires among themselves, explained Dr. Tamir Harcourt al-Maroun, the noted Middle Eastern economist. The orthodox haredim, who make up between 10 and 15 percent of Israel�s population, run the underworld diamond trade, from the killing fields of the Congo to midtown Manhattan. Orthodox fundamentalists also control the white slave traffic that, according to recent UN reports, has turned into a global growth industry, luring tens of thousands of unlettered, dirt-poor young women from Third World villages and Eastern European cities into enforced sexual serfdom in �rich� countries. Recently, haredim wearing Judaic ritual garb have also taken over street-level smuggling of what is known as �designer dope,� such as the new drug, �ecstasy,� which has invaded major U.S. cities in the past decade. Secular factions, on the other hand, own the franchise for money laundering, involving Israel�s major banks in sanitizing billions of dollars in international drug profits and other criminal loot. Secular politicians control the �direct-action� teams of government agents who hire out to perform �black-bag� jobs, terror strikes, murders and abductions abroad for a price, such as the attempted kidnapping of former Nigerian Finance Minister Umaru Dikko in London. TOUGH PLANS FOR MIDEAST President Bill Clinton, determined to impose a �peace settlement� on the strife-torn Middle East from the moment of his inauguration, realized that to exert influence over the brass-knuckle Israelis he would need a special sort of go-between. He picked Martin Indyk. Indyk was born in 1951 in London, England, to devoutly Judaic Czech re fugee parents. The family subsequently moved to Australia. After two years in Israel Indyk began his career as an Israeli operative reportedly with close ties to Australian intelligence. In 1985, Indyk was sent to the U.S. to set up a research and lobbying center known as the Washington Institute for Near East Policy Studies. In 1991, Clin ton waived the immigration law, gave him U.S. citizenship and put him in charge of Middle Eastern affairs at the White House national-security council�a powerful, pivotal policy post. Already a veteran Israeli agent of influence and a seasoned international in triguer, Indyk went to work using American resources, funds and armed power to impose a new order on the Mid dle East. In the process, Indyk helped to replace hardline Israeli Prime Minister Ben yamin Netanyahu, detested by the White House, with a new premier, Gen. Ehud Barak, known for his willingness to play by Clinton�s rules. But Barak�s subservience to Wash ington�s tutelage�and his inability to coax a deal from Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat, even with concessions re sented by many Israelis�created deep divisions within Israel itself. Congress Wants to Step Up Land Grabs A proposed $45 billion land grab bill in Congress is fiscally irresponsible and a threat to property rights and hunting. Exclusive to The Spotlight By Margo Turner Farmers, ranchers and other private property owners could find themselves forced off their land if Congress enacts a $45 billion federal land grab legislation, warn property rights activists. The Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA), S. 25, now before the Senate, is fiscally irresponsible and would be a �tremendous defeat for private property ownership, hunting and sound conservation,� said David Riggs, director of land use policy at the Com petitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization in Washington. �In the wake of disastrous fires out West this summer, the majority of which occurred on government-managed land, it is sheer lunacy to give this same government more land to try to �manage,� � Riggs explained. Four of every 10 acres in the country is managed by local, state and federal governments, according to Riggs. He noted that most of this land is grossly mismanaged. Representatives from CEI and the American Land Rights Asso ciation (ALRA) joined property rights, taxpayer and consumer advocates on the East Lawn of the Capitol Sept. 20 to counter a rally by groups that support the federal land grab legislation. Riggs called CARA �an affront to American taxpayers and congressional accountability.� CARA is nothing more than a �pork-barrel-spending bill,� added ALRA legis lative representative Mike Hardiman. The legislation grants the government $3 billion per year for 15 years to step up purchases of privately-owned land. Critics point out that CARA would be the first entitlement program that does not allow Congress to evaluate it for five years. Under CARA, Congress would create a land acquisition trust fund and other trust funds that cover such things as Civil War battlefields, Endangered Species Act enforcement and Indian tribes. The tax money would be taken away from the legislative process and handed directly to various federal and state agencies, critics said. More than $900 million a year would be guaranteed to federal and state agencies for land acquisition. State agencies would receive a total of $450 million a year and have unlimited power to exercise eminent domain and condemn land. Distribution of CARA funds defies �any rational understanding,� said Robert H. Nelson, senior fellow at CEI. For example, New York State would receive $40 million a year while $15 million would go to Maine with its long and ecologically sensitive coastline. The largest allotment of money under CARA would go to Louisiana ($285 million), Texas ($131 million), Alaska ($89 million), Florida ($69 million), Cali for nia ($67 million) and Mississippi ($61 million). The House passed CARA (H.R. 701) by a 315 to 102 vote on May 11. Critics claim few congressmen knew or cared about the bill�s specific provisions. Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) recently circulated a letter to fellow senators to build support for CARA. So far 50 senators have signed the DeWine letter. If DeWine obtains signatures from 60 senators, CARA supporters would have a chance to win a floor vote or make it imperative for Senate leaders to add CARA to a last-minute appropriations bill, the ALRA warned on its web site, www.landrights.org. *************************************************************************** ADVERTISMENT STANFORD COINS AND BULLION (J&S) 1-800-627-3015 FREE Monthly Newsletter - Complete Price List GOLD - SILVER - PLATNUM *************************************************************************** ADVERTISEMENT HOW TO STAY OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!
