Sexual Abuse Suit Filed Against Jehovah's Witness Leaders - "Denomination's NY Headquarters Called 'Negligent' - RITZVILLE, Wash. Jan. 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Child molesters in the Brooklyn-based Jehovah's Witness church are "routinely given sanctuary, protection, sympathy and support" from church officials according to a new civil sexual abuse lawsuit filed today in Washington state. The leadership of the 1 million member denomination was charged with negligence in the suit....There are approximately one million Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States and six million across the world." http://www.usnewswire.com/topnews/temp/0122-113.html Jehovah's Witnesses Child Molestation Victims Web Page - http://www.silentlambs.org/ 1-800-WTABUSE http://www.flybynews.com/cgi-local/newspro/viewnews.cgi?newsid1011724158,19703 , 1) Study: California Energy Crisis Was a $71 Billion Hoax January 17, 2002 The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) issued the first comprehensive review of the California energy crisis today, exactly one year after the first rolling blackouts hit California. Using government and industry data, the 58 page report, entitled "Hoax: How Deregulation Let the Power Industry Steal $71 Billion From California," shows that the California electricity system did not fail according to the laws of supply and demand, as it has been widely portrayed. The California energy crisis, instead, was a hoax - orchestrated by a power industry freed from price regulation - that will cost $2,200 for every Californian. The report is available at http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/utilities/rp/rp002169.pdf For nearly a year, the energy industry, state officials and President Bush claimed there was a shortage of energy in California. But the crisis suddenly disappeared late last spring after Governor Gray Davis committed the state to spending at least $43 billion for energy over the next twenty years. The report shows that the power industry manufactured blackouts and threatened more of them as tools to gain unprecedented profits and overpriced, long-term contracts during the crisis. The report also warns that unless the state of California regains control of its electricity supply, and makes it publicly accountable, additional artificially-created crises will occur in the immediate future. "The energy crisis was a hoax, set up by deregulation, to suck billions of dollars out of the state," said Harvey Rosenfield and Doug Heller of FTCR, a non-profit, non-partisan research and advocacy group based in California. "The utilities, energy companies and power traders backed deregulation because they knew it would be a license to steal. Once freed of state scrutiny - once the cop was off the beat - they held the state hostage until we agreed to pay their demands. When they stole as much as they thought they could get away with, the 'crisis' mysteriously disappeared - leaving the people of California stuck with the tab.".... * Californians overpaid $8.5 billion for electricity between January and October of 2001 alone - and will overpay at least another $20.5 billion over the next decade. * While the U.S. entered a recession during the first half of 2001, power companies, such as Enron, Duke and Reliant, reaped unprecedented windfalls. http://www.webcom.com/ctka/pr500-king.html Probe - From the May-June 2000 issue (Vol. 7 No. 4) The Martin Luther King Conspiracy Exposed in Memphis By Jim Douglass - According to a Memphis jury's verdict on December 8,1999, in the wrongful death lawsuit of the King family versus Loyd Jowers "and other unknown co-conspirators," Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by a conspiracy that included agencies of his own government.

FBI Probes Enron Shredding Claims Plaintiffs' Attorneys Say Documents Were Destroyed After Investigations Began By MARCY GORDON .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (Jan. 22) - FBI agents and federal prosecutors showed up at Enron's Houston headquarters Tuesday to investigate allegations that financial documents were shredded in the face of a federal probe, the company said.... Enron's slide into the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history on Dec. 2 left thousands of employees out of work and stripped of their retirement savings after Enron barred them from selling company stock from their Enron-heavy 401(k) accounts. President Bush disclosed that his mother-in-law, Jenna Welch, had invested in the company. ''What I'm outraged about is that employees didn't know all the facts about Enron,'' said Bush, who was a friend of Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay. ''My own mother-in-law bought stock last summer and it's not worth anything now.'' Bush did not say how much stock she bought but said ''she did not know all the facts'' about Enron's financial situation. Lerach told The Associated Press the shredding was ''open and notorious and widespread,'' consuming ''hundreds of thousands of documents'' and taking place even on Christmas Day. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
