this may be heavy for survivors Polish Archbishop Resigns in Wake of Sex Abuse Scandal - 3/28/02 - Warsaw (Reuters) - A Polish archbishop accused of molesting young priests quit on Thursday, bowing to pressure to end the worst sex scandal to hit the powerful Roman Catholic church in Poland. Archbishop Juliusz Paetz, 67, told a gathering of clerics in his Poznan diocese in western Poland he was leaving his post to protect the ``unity and stability'' of the church, Poland's official Catholic news agency KAI said....A newspaper report last month saying Paetz (allegedly) forced trainee priests and young clerics into homosexual acts created the biggest storm yet over the behavior of churchmen in Poland, where the Catholic hierarchy still has enormous influence. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/international/international-poland-archbishop.h tml?pagewanted=3Dprint&position=3Dtop From: http://www.theconversation.org/updates/031902.html Axis Of Evil - in Washington, D.C. Edward Herman - March 15, 2002 Coup d'etat president George W. Bush has designated three poor and unconnected states as an "axis of evil," reflecting this great moralist's sensitivity to good and evil. He has been subjected to a certain amount of criticism for this strong language even in the mainstream press, but nobody there has suggested that, as so common in this post-Orwellian world, such language might better fit its author and his associates. There IS a political axis of evil running strong in the United States that underpins the Bush regime, which includes the oil industry, military-industrial complex (MIC), other transnationals, and the Christian Right, all important contributors to the Bush electoral triumph, and each of which has high level representation in the administration including, besides Bush himself, Cheney, Rumsfeld, O'Neill and Ashcroft. http://www.truthout.com/docs_02/03.17A.Kucinich.Interview.htm We are Governed by Fear: An Interview with Congressman Dennis Kucinich By Scott Galindez March 14, 2002 ....Peace is in our national interest. International cooperation is in our national interest. We need to have grand civic dialogue about what we might be able to do here to change the direction of the nation. It certainly needs change. We can spend an extra forty-five billion dollars this year for military when they can't even keep track of their own budget, and still we have forty-two million people without adequate health insurance, senior citizens splitting pills in order to try to meet their health requirements and still protect their budget. We have schools that are still falling apart with programs that don't work. We have so much to do. Yet, society is becoming militarized. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-846959.html Guess who's tracking you by cell phone? By Ben Charny Special to ZDNet News February 27, 2002, 3:00 PM PT The nation's cell phone service providers will soon know exactly where every one of their customers is, at all times, and privacy rights groups are asking what they plan to do with the information. All U.S. carriers are under Federal Communications Commission orders to make it possible for police to locate cell phones calling 911, something police can't do now. Carriers plan to use the same systems to sell services like helping stranded motorists even if they don't know their location, or finding the closest restaurant. Because people with cell phone generally always carry their phone with them, the FCC regulations give the thriving market for personal information something its never had a chance to get: the exact locations at all times of more than 140 million people. "There are some things you don't mind other people knowing, but your location isn't one of them," said Gary Laden, a privacy program director for BBBOnline, a Better Business Bureau subsidiary. http://www.shopnetdaily.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=455 April 2002 edition – BRAVE NEW WORLD: Welcome to the era of implanted chips, universal surveillance, man-and-machine hybrids and the end to your privacy.

K. Chesterton once said: "The proper study of political mankind is the study of power elites, without which nothing that happens could be understood." He added: "These elites, preferring to work in private, are rarely found posed for photographers, and their influence upon events has therefore to be deduced from what is known of the agencies they employ." Chesterton described those agencies: "Their goal was to work through such agencies, and financial support received from one or other or all three big American foundations--Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford -- provides an infallible means of recognizing them." The Rockefellers made $200,000,000.00 from World War I. Henry Kissinger's brother Walter heads the Allen Group. The super-wealthy (with the exception of some Du Ponts and the Fords) have long supported the Republican Party -- the party of plutocratic oligarchy. "If not kings themselves, they are king-makers." They have quick access to the White House no matter who is President. Other super-rich, such as the Rockefellers, affiliate with the Democratic Party. Politics in the U.S., no matter what party, is under the control of the super-rich, large corporations and the international bankers. http://www.prwatch.org/improp/index.html The Rogues Gallery ActivistCash.com Run by Washington lobbyist Rick Berman, this web site claims to expose the "hidden" funding behind environmental and health activists, but won't disclose its own funding—which comes from the tobacco, alcohol and restaurant industries. American Council on Science and Health Led by Elizabeth Whelan, ACSH doesn't like cigarettes, but that's virtually the only dangerous product they've ever criticized. Competitive Enterprise Institute CEI claims that environmental, health and safety regulations carry hidden costs that actually hurt people, but when it defends tobacco it argues that "some things are more important than health." Council for Tobacco Research This classic front group for the tobacco industry began in the 1950s with the stated mission of finding out whether cigarettes were dangerous, and if so, fixing the problem. Its real mission was to create confusion in the minds of the public regarding the evidence linking smoking to cancer and other diseases. Global Climate Coalition Sponsored by the auto, oil, coal and other industries responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions that are changing the climate, the GCC wanted you to believe that global warming is not a problem. Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine The OISM is most notorious for circulating a deceptive petition that claimed to represent thousands of scientists who don't believe in global warming. http://www.aclu.org/action/civilrights107.html ....But, mounting evidence suggests that President Bush and Attorney General Ashcroft are breaking their sworn duty to fully enforce civil rights laws and are in fact crippling the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Since the start of the Bush Administration, the Justice Department has: Abandoned a landmark civil rights case against the Philadelphia transit system that used a harsh physical test that has nothing to do with the job requirements, but excludes nearly all women applicants from transit police positions. Failed to bring any new cases against any police departments for police misconduct or abuse. Undercut minority-voting rights by failing to fully enforce the Voting Rights Act in Mississippi. Brought only one new case for civil rights violations in the workplace. Suggested releasing the Adam's Mark Hotel chain accused of racial discrimination against its guests from a court ordered settlement. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/28/international/americas/28KISS.html March 28, 2002 For Chilean Coup, Kissinger Is Numbered Among the Hunted By LARRY ROHTER - SANTIAGO, Chile — With a trial of Gen. Augusto Pinochet increasingly unlikely here, victims of the Chilean military's 17-year dictatorship are now pressing legal actions in both Chilean and American courts against Henry A. Kissinger and other Nixon administration officials who supported plots to overthrow Salvador Allende Gossens, the Socialist president, in the early 1970's. In perhaps the most prominent of the cases, an investigating judge here has formally asked Mr. Kissinger, a former national security adviser and secretary of state, and Nathaniel Davis, the American ambassador to Chile at the time, to respond to questions about the killing of an American citizen, Charles Horman, after the deadly military coup that brought General Pinochet to power on Sept. 11, 1973. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
