Re: [CTRL] The Holocaust

 President Clinton launched the attack to cripple Saddam's WMD capability.
 Saddam had placed so many restrictions on UNSCOM that UNSCOM left Iraq.
 Therefore, there was no longer any surveillance of Saddam's WMD development
 status.  However, the final UNSCOM report stated that Iraq was proceeding as
 fast as it could given the presence of UNSCOM.

The UNSCOM inspectors were mapping out the target areas that are now being hit in
Iraq--that's why Saddam wanted them out of there.

Since Iraq could develop a serious arsenal in just a few months, President
Clinton had to move fairly fast.Then why didn't he move before?

 Since it would be awkward to start the bombing during Ramadan, the JCS
 advised him to act now.

How is going to be able to call off this massive attack in less than a week and
for the entire month of Ramadan?

 The brouhaha about the timing is just more Republican hysteria.  Anyway, it is
 not a big deal to put off the impeachment (coup d'etat) vote for another few
 weeks.

As with the African embassy bombings, the domestic issue actually detracts from
the foreign policy issue. Who believes for a minute that this spin about the "WMD"
has anything to do with this? It's about oil and keeping a US military presence in
the region. The WMDs of the rest of the world don't bother the US.

Too bad all this ZOG business obscures that discussion.

[CTRL] Skolnick: Various Dangers To Clinton and Gore

1998-12-17 Thread Brian Redman

 -Caveat Lector-

SKOLNICK: VARIOUS DANGERS TO CLINTON AND GORE
=

(CNNS, 12/17/98) -- The  air  is  thick with plots in Washington,
D.C., according to renowned investigator Sherman H. Skolnick.

On Wednesday, Dec. 16, 1998, according to Mr. Skolnick's sources,
over a score of top-level military brass, Admirals and  Generals,
were  considering  how  to  go  about  arresting  President  Bill
Clinton,   their  Commander-in-Chief,  under  provisions  of  the
U.S. Military Code.

An actual arrest has yet to occur.  But any acceleration  of  the
current conflict with Iraq, specifically the introduction of U.S.
ground  troops  there,  could  be the final impetus for a serious
split within the U.S.  military,  says Skolnick.  We have already
seen serious divisions erupting within political  ranks  here  in
the  U.S.  --  for example Sen. Trent Lott's unprecedented public
remarks  which  questioned  Bill  Clinton's  true  motivation for
bombing Iraq.

At this point, says Skolnick,  Bill  Clinton is perceived by many
as a "dead  duck":   politically  finished.   This  news  service
(Conspiracy  Nation  News  Service)  had earlier stated the same:
that "Bill Clinton is Finished." (CNNS, 12/11/98)

Waiting in the wings to  pick  up the presidential mantle is U.S.
Vice President Al Gore.  But Gore, says Mr. Skolnick, is  himself
in  danger.   Skolnick  believes there is and has been an ongoing
plot to somehow eliminate Al Gore.  Mr. Skolnick especially fears
that Gore might even  be  assassinated.   Hoping to avert such an
awful circumstance, Mr. Skolnick has been  trying  to  alert  the
public about the possibility of such an event.

According   to  some  news  reports,  a  vote  in  the  House  of
Representatives on the impeachment  of  Bill Clinton is imminent.
Such a House vote could occur  as early as Sunday, Dec. 20th.  If
the House  votes  for  impeachment,  the  question  arises,  says
Skolnick,  as  to  whether  Bill  Clinton  can  remain  as Acting
President while a trial in  the  U.S. Senate hangs over his head.
It may be that Al Gore would have to step in as Acting President,
unless and until the Senate finally acquits  Clinton  of  pending
charges.

And,  as  Acting  President, Al Gore could even appoint an Acting
Vice-President, such as Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia.

In  conversations  with members of Al Gore's family, Mr. Skolnick
has been asked for advice.   "What should we do?" they reportedly
have inquired.  Skolnick's advice?  Buy more life insurance.

Re: [CTRL] NEW SUBJECT: Millenium Bug

1998-12-17 Thread Stopforth, Jamie

 -Caveat Lector-

Hi, i'm new to this list but i was wondering if anyone had
discussed the
 high probability of the Millenium Bug being a government (New World
 Order?) conspiracy.

 It seems highly unlikely that no one was aware of the fact that 90% of
 computers did not recognise the year 2000. It also seems unlikely that it
 has only been mentioned in the last 2 years.

 Let's face it, the world could potentially fall into mass chaos. As we
 all know, this kind of situation can be advantageous to a lot of people in
 power

 Richard B.

  Hey Richard, welcome to the list!  I've been researching the issue
rather extensively and I've been asking the same questions you have.  As for
it becoming advantageous for the elite, I know that is extremely probable.
I wouldn't be surprised if maybe they would even help the problem to be
worse then what it naturally will have been.  I see them having to create or
for there to be a time of crisis for them to implement their NWO philosophy
on us all through martial law.  And what better for it to be a Crisis that
affects the whole globe.   Something else we need to understand is that in
order for their plan to work, they need computers, satellites, communication
towers etc...  I'm sure all these devices won't fail.  So to answer your
question... Yes, they knew about Y2K, but it was only for them to know and
us to know only when it was too late.

 In Christ,

Not to nose in nor to be imprudent, but:

Ironically, whether the Congress or the people who (supposedly) put them
there like it or not, the whole debate has raised the level of
understanding about their government.  I'm not sure anyone really intended
for this to happen or is ready for the results, outcome, or conclusion.  I
liken it to a distilling process where all the ingredients -- including
impurities -- are being precipitated out of the mass.  I have never seen
the government in so much chaos -- it's as if the ship of state has been
caught in a typhoon and we're hoping someone knows how to steer it to
calmer waters.  Nonetheless, everyone's sailorness is being tested and new
knowledge and skills are being gained at every tossing by the waves and
every gust of wind.  I imagine some will be unable to keep their bearings
and some will swept overboard.

IOC bribes: Hodler mistrusts 25

Zurich: The Olympic executive whose accusations of bribery and blackmail
rocked the International Olympic Committee said yesterday that as many as
25 members of the IOC's 114 voting members might have received favours or
cash for votes in four recent elections to choose sites for the Games.

"That's the absolute maximum because I trust all the others," Mr Marc
Hodler was quoted as saying in yesterday's edition of USA Today.

Mr Hodler, an 80-year-old lawyer and senior member of the IOC executive
board, has not identified any IOC members who might have taken bribes.

The IOC began investigating Salt Lake City's successful 2002 winter
Olympics bid after organisers disclosed they had made payments of about
$650,000 in scholarship funds to 13 people, including six relatives of IOC
members.

Mr Hodler said Salt Lake City had turned over 25 pages listing payments in
its "humanitarian assistance" program.

"They've got a lot of information. They're not limited to the
scholarships," Mr Hodler was reported as saying.

He said the new summary detailed more than $1million in payments, some of
it unrelated to IOC members.

Mr Hodler said he went public on Saturday with allegations of corruption in
the Olympic bidding process because he feared a cover-up of the Salt Lake
City scandal.

"The feeling crept up on me that certain people are afraid of this case and
wanted to sweep everything under the carpet," he told the daily newspaper
Neue Zuercher Zeitung in Zurich, Switzerland.

"Because of various misunderstandings, I was under the impression that some
of my colleagues might try not to uncover mistakes made by some members of
the IOC and lay all the blame on the Salt Lake City organising committee,"
he also told Zurich's Tages-Anzeiger daily.

"I'm not acting for Salt Lake City but for justice."

Mr Hodler said on Saturday that Salt Lake City had been "blackmailed" by
agents promising to secure votes during its Olympic bid. He said four
agents, including one member of the IOC, had been involved in vote-buying
schemes over the past 10 years.

He cited supposed irregularities over the selection of Sydney, Atlanta,
Nagano and Salt Lake City, although under questioning conceded he had no
proof of corruption with Sydney's bid.

"I don't enjoy being a member of a club that has a bad reputation," Mr
Hodler told Neue Zuercher Zeitung. "In contrast to what you might believe,
I'm probably the best friend of IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch."

Mr Hodler said he wanted a small group to select Olympic cities rather than
the entire IOC membership.

IOC representative claims he has a 'cheat list'
Vote-Buying Schemes: Most accusations focus on officials in developing
nations


Chris Jones
National Post, with files from The Associated Press and The Canadian Press


Salt Lake City's Olympic flame is fuelled with dirty money, and Marc
Hodler, a top member of the International Olympic Committee, says he has
the names to prove it.

Hodler, who claimed last week that some IOC officials have been involved in
vote-buying schemes for a decade, said yesterday he has a list of members
allegedly involved in influence-peddling during Salt Lake City's successful
bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics.

He said that at most, fewer than 25 members of the 115-member IOC received
favours or cash in exchange for their votes.

Salt Lake City officials have admitted that during the bidding process,
which ended in 1995, scholarships and athlete-training programs were made
available to 13 people, at least six of whom were relatives of IOC members.


The payments were bankrolled under the guise of "humanitarian assistance."

But the $632,000 in payments, detailed in bank statements now in Hodler's
possession, may have broken IOC rules which ban bid cities from offering
gifts worth more than $150 to committee members or their relatives.

Sonia Essomba, the daughter of the late Rene Essomba - an IOC member from
Cameroon - has been named by a Salt Lake City television station as one of
the beneficiaries. The senior Essomba was a wealthy and well-connected
professor of surgery and the secretary general of the National Olympic
Committees of Africa.

Most of the accusations of vote-buying centre on officials from developing
countries.

"We see exactly to whom the payments were transferred," Hodler told the
Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung. "Some of the recipients are IOC
members. Others are apparently the sons and daughters of IOC members.

"Then there are also the names of unknown people. But this may have to do
with relatives of IOC members. Checks on this are being carried out."

Since the Salt Lake City scandal broke three weeks ago, and Hodler's
startling admission last week that "there has always, always,

scandal has been extradited from France to begin a 12-year prison sentence
in his native Italy.
Licio Gelli, 79, is a former grandmaster of the P2 (Propaganda-Due) Masonic
lodge, which was linked to extreme right-wing groups in the late 1970s and
early 1980s.

Gelli was found guilty of fraud arising from the 1982 collapse of the Banco
Ambrosiano, which had close ties to the Vatican.

He fled six months ago while on parole at his home in Tuscany but Italian
police tracked him down to Cannes on the French Riviera.

In poor health

Gelli suffered a mild heart attack shortly after his arrest and is then said
to have tried to commit suicide while in hospital in Marseille.

On Friday Gelli flew into Rome's Ciampino airport amid tight security and
was whisked off to the city's Regina Coeli jail.

Gelli has been periodically on the run since 1981 when he fled to
Switzerland after P2 was unearthed during an inquiry into Roberto Calvi, a
freemason who was found hanged from London's Blackfriars Bridge.

He was arrested while trying to withdraw tens of millions of dollars from a
special bank account in Geneva but escaped from a Swiss prison.

Billions of missing dollars

Gelli fled to South America but gave himself up in 1987 and was extradited
to Italy.

Banco Ambrosiano was Italy's largest private bank but collapsed with $1bn of
debts.

He is also facing a three year sentence in connection with the workings of
P2.

Investigations into P2, whose 1,000 members including politicians,
businessmen and military officers, have failed to prove the lodge conspired
with right-wing extremists and the Mafia to destabilise Italy through
bombings and violence.

Re: [CTRL] NEW SUBJECT: Millenium Bug

1998-12-17 Thread Stopforth, Jamie

 -Caveat Lector-

 Hi, i'm new to this list but i was wondering if anyone had discussed
 the
 high probability of the Millenium Bug being a government (New World
 Order?) conspiracy.

 It seems highly unlikely that no one was aware of the fact that 90% of
 computers did not recognise the year 2000. It also seems unlikely that it
 has only been mentioned in the last 2 years.

 Let's face it, the world could potentially fall into mass chaos. As we
 all know, this kind of situation can be advantageous to a lot of people in
 power

 Richard B.


Hey Richard, welcome to the list!  I've been researching the issue
rather extensively and I've been asking the same questions you have.  As for
it becoming advantageous for the elite, I know that is extremely probable.
I wouldn't be surprised if maybe they would even help the problem to be
worse then what it naturally will have been.  I see them having to create or
for there to be a time of crisis for them to implement their NWO philosophy
on us all through martial law.  And what better for it to be a Crisis that
affects the whole globe.   Something else we need to understand is that in
order for their plan to work, they need computers, satellites, communication
towers etc...  I'm sure all these devices won't fail.  So to answer your
question... Yes, they knew about Y2K, but it was only for them to know and
us to know only when it was too late.

 In Christ,
  Jamie

I trust you are not like Trent "draft dodger" Lott who complained a short

he is in a rage over the bombing.  Could it be that Lott is so unprincipled
that his stance merely depends upon what political wind seems convenient?
Incidentally, Lott was full of praise for the racist group that Bob "family

I do agree that innocent people will be injured and killed in addition to
their property destroyed and they will be indirectly harmed by destruction of
utilities.  That is why people like Lugar, Gingrich, and Lott should not
be so
eager for war as a way to prove their manhood, i.e. show machismo by sending

Pentagon officials dispute timing

The Washington Times
12/17/98 Rowan Scarborough


The White House notified the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Sunday that President
Clinton would order air strikes this week, 48 hours before he saw a United
Nations report declaring Iraq in noncompliance with weapons inspectors, it was
learned from authoritative sources last night.

Several Pentagon officials have questioned Mr. Clinton's timing to order
strikes on the eve of the House impeachment debate.

Pentagon sources said National Security Council aides told the Joint Chiefs to
quickly update a bombing plan that was shelved in mid-November and were told
that a strike would be ordered in a matter of days.

Israeli spokesman Aviv Bushinsky said yesterday in Jerusalem that President
Clinton discussed preparations for an attack with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu just minutes before Mr. Clinton flew home from Israel's
Ben-Gurion Airport on Tuesday, ending a three-day peace mission.

White House spokesman Joe Lockhart insisted that Mr. Clinton made the strike
decision yesterday based on the U.N. finding of noncompliance.

Nevertheless, a senior congressional source, who asked not to be named, said
senior Pentagon officers expressed great skepticism to him about the raids.
This source said that the White House eagerness to launch air strikes grew

with intensity as a parade of centrist Republicans announced they would vote
to impeach the president, in a vote originally scheduled for today.

"I have had senior flag and general officers question the timing," the
congressional source said. "I have had senior military officers laughing. I
hate to say that. ... Why now? He hasn't built a coalition. He hasn't done
anything. Why this timing?"

Reporters and others traveling with the president in the Middle East remarked
during last weekend that the president seemed uncharacteristically unconcerned
about events unfolding in Washington, and several White House aides expressed
puzzlement that the president seemed to have lost his "fighting spirit." Mrs.
Clinton was noticeably cool to the president as their visit there continued
and drew away from him on several public occasions.

The Joint Chiefs were described as strongly supporting yesterday's attack.
They wanted to launch missiles in mid-November, after Saddam Hussein evicted
inspectors. The president called off the attack just minutes before "H hour"
after Saddam promised to cooperate with inspectors.

Defense Secretary William S. Cohen yesterday strongly disputed charges the
attack is linked to impeachment.

"The only factor, from my point of view ... or for anyone else's point of
view, was what is the national security interests of the United States," Mr.
Cohen said. "We are convinced. We have absolutely no doubt this is the right
decision."

Mr. Cohen also said war planners preferred not to attack during Ramadan, the
monthlong Islamic observance beginning this weekend.

This is the second time military officers and experts have questioned whether
Mr. Clinton timed U.S. military action to take attention away from the Monica
Lewinsky scandal.

Livingston Confesses Affairs





By Jim VandeHei

House Speaker Bob Livingston (R-La.) tonight plans to disclose to the
Republican Conference that he has had sexual affairs in his past and will
offer to resign his post, according to GOP sources.

Livingston confirmed to Roll Call, "When I did an early interview with the
media after announcing my candidacy for Speaker I told a reporter that I
was running for Speaker, not SAINTHOOD. There was a good reason for those
words." Picture: Bob Livingston

"I have decided to inform my colleagues and constituents that during my
33-year marriage to my wife, Bonnie, I have on occasion strayed from my
marriage and doing so nearly cost me my marriage and my family," he said.

"I want to assure everyone that these indiscretions were not with employees
on my staff and I have never been asked to testify under oath about them,"
he wrote.

Sources said Livingston will offer his resignation to the entire GOP
Conference. But Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas) will stand up and say
Livingston should not resign his post, sources said.

Sources said the affairs occurred during Livingston's Congressional career.


Sources say Livingston was called recently and told a story about his past
could be coming out soon.

Livingston first came to Congress after winning a special election in 1977
because an independent candidate backed by labor unions siphoned off
support from Democratic nominee Ron Faucheaux.

Livingston was nominated to be the next Speaker by the GOP Conference Nov.
18.

Republican Moralistic Posturing, or outraged cries of “It’s not about sex!”
The following is something I consider to be fresh stomping ground, and should
cause those who are capable of thinking to do so.
With Bill Clinton’s impeachment trials just around the corner, and public
opinion on the fairness and legitimacy of the crusade against Clinton being
espoused and dictated by more polls and editorials than the average human can
normally stomach in a single sitting, I have decided to finally throw my own
conscience grenades into the philosophical battlegrounds.  I fully realise
that anybody and everybody has their own beliefs on the subject of Clinton’s
“High Crimes  Misdemeanours” as of late, and be they political or moral
justifications, most of them tend to echo and repeat one another with similar
(if not identical) arguments.
It is with this knowledge that I am offering my own thoughts on the matter
for public consumption, for I feel that I have taken a standpoint on this
whole Circus Politicus that has not been touched upon by anybody.  Some may
have hinted in this direction, and others may have poorly summed it up in a
snappy catch-phrase of some kind, but I am positive that what follows has not
yet been properly preached by anyone.  Allow me to be the first.
Simply put, I say nail the bastard, and for no other reason than getting
even.  What do I mean?  Well, many of Clinton’s defenders are quit fond of
stating that the only thing that The President is guilty of is cheating on his
wife and lying about it, and while Adultery is a bad and naughty thing, it is
by no means reason for impeachment, and should only be of concern to “him, his
wife, and his priest”.  Not a bad argument, especially for anyone like myself,
who feels that the personal life of one individual is no business of anybody
but himself, as long as his personal life is in no way harming or victimising
another individual.  Since most people tend to be (or merely think of
themselves as) rational on this level, this argument tends to hold its own.
After all, this is a free country.
Or is it?
Aren’t we free to consume what we please, as long as we do not harm or
victimise anybody else?  Yes, we are.  But then, what about the countless
Americans that are arrested and imprisoned for using recreational drugs that
are not deemed legal by our government?  Does the pot smoker who lives in the
apartment next to me pose any direct threat to me or anybody else, merely
because he is smoking pot?  Is he any more of a threat to you or me then the
millions of people who consume legal drugs like nicotine and caffeine and
alcohol.  People are harassed and imprisoned, their possessions confiscated
and sold, their lives torn apart, not because they have used a mind altering
substance for recreational purposes, but because they have used a mind
altering substance that our government does not approve of for recreational
purposes.
Aren’t we free to pursue personal and intimate relationships with whomever we
want to, as long as we do not harm or victimise anybody else in the process?
Yes, we are.  But then, what about the countless men and women who are
arrested and imprisoned for sleeping with one another, because one of them has
paid the other for the privilege?  Does the prostitute standing on the street
corner or sitting in the brothel pose any direct threat to me or anybody else,
simply because she is offering to have sex with someone in exchange for money?
Or the john that of his own free will offers to pay her for her services, does
he pose any direct threat to me or anybody else, merely because he is willing
to take her up on her offer?  Going beyond that, what about all of the gay and
lesbian couples who are unable to legally enjoy a mutual existence the way any
heterosexual couple can, because our government has seen fit to judge them as
unworthy of vowing themselves to one another?  What about the gays and
lesbians who have been told that they are not worthy of fighting and possibly
dying for their country because of their sexual preference, but that they may
still join as long as they keep their homosexuality a deep, dark secret?
Yes, we are free.  As long as the government approves of what we do to amuse
ourselves.  Or what we consume, and why we consume it. Or who we sleep with,
and why we sleep with them.  Because if the government does not approve of our
choices in these matters, then they will harass us, vilify us, arrest us,
imprison us (around 70% of the inmate population of most city prisons consists

WISDOM AND HONOR
by
Rod D. Martin, 16 December 1998



With a courage none would have believed just after last month's
elections, the House Judiciary Committee voted this weekend four
articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton.  Their
consultants told them this would be suicide.  The polls told them
they were risking everything.  The Democrats offered them censure,
an unconstitutional, horrible precedent-setting, but nevertheless
politically-popular way out.  They assessed their lives, decided
who they were, and cast their votes.  They are heroes.

By contrast, with his political efforts failing, his personal
threats against individual "swing" members such as Arkansas's Jay
Dickey backfiring, and an almost certain impeachment vote by the
whole House looming on the morrow, Bill Clinton showed tonight a
craven cowardice unlike any in the history of the Republic.

He again "wags the dog."  He again bombs Iraq.  He again takes the
lives of thousands of innocent civilians, carefully calculating
that the political price will be small since, by using cruise
missiles, no American lives will be lost.  And he does it while
straight-facedly telling us the reason is Saddam's "lies," his
years of "intentional obstruction."

It is an irony worthy of the devils in Hell.

Does this seem too harsh a judgement?  Then let us look at the
year that has been 1998, and see how regularly trod has been this
ground.

1.  January.  The Monica Lewinsky story breaks.  Within two weeks,
Clinton has America on full alert for war in Iraq.  The Lewinsky
crisis, initially said by even the liberal media (including Cokie
and Sam) to require his resignation "before the State of the
Union", recedes.

2.  June.  Linda Tripp is slated to testify before the grand jury.
On the morning of her testimony, Clinton fires cruise missiles at
two Iraqi radar stations, resulting in almost no coverage of
Tripp.

3.  August.  Clinton makes his "apology" speech, which backfires.
Three days later, US forces bomb Afghanistan and Sudan, again
averting an almost certain swift impeachment.  Cokie Roberts calls
this "wagging the dog" on national television, but it accomplishes
Clinton's purpose nevertheless.  The chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff admits on live national television, thirty minutes after
the bombing, that the attack was neither in response to any
imminent threat, nor targeted any particular person, much less a
"conference of terrorists" as Clinton later (implausibly) claimed.
Two of the four camps bombed in Afghanistan are later shown to
have no connection to bogeyman-of-the-week Osama Bin Laden, while
the Sudanese target proves to have been a civilian facility with
no production of any substance remotely useful for chemical
weapons.

4.  Today.


Some may suggest we should give Clinton the benefit of the doubt,
and perhaps in January they might have had a point; but the
reality is clear.  Every time Clinton gets in a fix, he uses our
armed forces to commit mass murder to cover his crimes.  This is
nothing less, and a great deal more, than David's dealings with
Uriah the Hittite.  It is time we say so.

Some may also suggest that, regardless of the motivation,
Clinton's actions against Iraq, whatever they are, are justified,
and that we need to slow down the impeachment process to allow him
to act "in the interests of the American people."  Yet whatever
truth there is to the evils of Saddam - and there is much truth
indeed - this precisely misses the point.  The fact that Clinton,
shown plainly on national television to be a serial-felon, is in
office while so much danger exists in the world is the most
compelling reason why he must be removed with all haste.  His
willingness to misuse our armed forces in this way is itself
impeachable, and the fact that we cannot trust him with power, or
with anything else, requires that we replace him immediately.  We
simply cannot entrust our war-making power to a criminal.

For some crazy reason, modern Americans have a hard time grasping
this last point.  They should look to the history of one of their
closest allies for the reason why.  Today, Bill Clinton uses the
military to create a crisis, stopping the House from impeaching
him, at least for a time.  It has only been a scant six decades
since another wildly-popular elected leader, of equal willingness
to take lives for political ends and of equal willingness to tell
lies both in speeches and under oath, found his political needs so
great that he had the Reichstag burned.  It took a world war to
restore liberty to Germany.  What will it take to restore "equal
justice under law" to America if the felon is allowed

FIREFIGHTS IN GULF AND FIREWORKS IN CONGRESS

   By TRACY CONNOR
   __

   It was a day of fast-breaking, wide-ranging developments as the
White House juggled the deepening crises in Iraq and at home:

 *Cruise missiles slammed into Iraq after President Clinton launched
 "Operation Desert Fox" with a surprise attack on Saddam Hussein for
 refusing to cooperate with United Nations weapon inspectors.

 *House leaders delayed an impeachment vote against Clinton -
 deciding instead to vote today on a resolution supporting American
 troops in the Persian Gulf.

 *In a 15-minute address to the nation after the bombs started
 falling on Baghdad, the president denied the raids were a plot to
 divert attention from Sexgate.

 *Top congressional GOP leaders, including Senate Majority Leader
 Trent Lott, were quick to criticize the timing of the attack. "Why
 now?" asked Rep. Gerald Solomon (R-N.Y.), who accused the president
 of trying to delay the impeachment vote. Democrats and some
 Republicans defended Clinton's decision.

 *Defense Secretary William Cohen ordered a sharp increase in
 American air and ground forces in the Gulf, and officials said the
 bombing raids could last four days.

 *Grim-faced Prime Minister Tony Blair announced Britain had joined
 in the attack against Iraq. "We have exhausted all other avenues,"
 he said.

 *U.N. weapons inspection teams were hurriedly evacuated from
 Baghdad in a convoy hours before the attack. The crisis reached a
 boiling point after a blistering report to the U.N. by chief arms
 inspector Richard Butler, who said the Iraqis had once again
 refused to cooperate by blocking access to sites and hindering
 inspections.

 *Former chief U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter accused Clinton
 of being on a "Wag the Dog" schedule, saying U.S. officials created
 a crisis that would justify a bombing by pushing inspection teams
 to return to Iraq last month.

 *Officials confirmed they timed the airstrikes so they would not
 interfere with the projected start of Ramadan, the Muslim holy
 month of dawn-to-dusk fasting, prayer and reflection.

 *Hours before the strikes, Saddam told his country Iraq would not
 "kneel" before the United States. Iraqi radio reported he and his
 top aides were preparing for strikes by dividing the country into
 four regional commands.

 *Early reaction to the strikes from U.S. allies was mixed - with
 Canada backing the military action while France tried to distance
 itself from the bombing, noting the "grave human consequences."

 *Israeli defense chiefs met late into the night to prepare for
 possible retaliatory Scud attacks by Saddam Hussein in a replay of
 Desert Storm.

 *The double whammy of Iraq and impeachment triggered a stock-market
 drop, with the Dow falling 32.70 to 8,790.60, although historically
 low oil prices and oil stocks were boosted by the latest Gulf
 crisis.

 * Arab-Americans in New York expressed skepticism about the raids,
 as 80 protesters in Times Square blasted the United States,
 shouting "Let Iraq live."

 *In Los Angeles, Hollywood stars including Ted Danson, Barbra
 Streisand and Jack Nicholson backed Clinton during an
 anti-impeachment rally.

 *Officials said reputed terror boss Osama bin Laden has ordered new
 "unusually specific" attacks on American targets in the Persian
 Gulf. Meanwhile, five more fugitives were charged with the August
 attack on a U.S. embassy in Tanzania, which bin Laden is accused of
 orchestrating.

[CTRL] Fwd: 'Tis the Season to Be Homeless

1998-12-17 Thread RoadsEnd





 "The U.S. Conference of Mayors reported a 15% increase in the number of
homeless families requesting shelter this year.  It cited lack of affordable
housing as one reason for the increase.
 "Welfare benefit cutoffs and reductions are kicking in all across the
country. When they do, the result seems to be the same -- more homeless
families.
 "'Almost all of our emergency facilities for women and children are full,
have waiting lists and are turning people away,'' said a Baltimore homeless
shelter director.
 "In 10 major cities within the last year, almost half of all families on
welfare became homeless after their benefits were reduced or eliminated."


More Kids Becoming Homeless

BOSTON (AP) -- Volunteers have been wrapping thousands of sweaters, stuffed
animals and Barbie dolls to give to 1,600 children during a holiday bash at
the Bayside Expo Center on Sunday.

The kids will sing carols, eat goodies and ride ponies. The cheer will be
short-lived, however, because after the party, more than half of the children
will go back to homeless shelters.

Every year, children are homeless, but advocates for the poor say the
situation looks especially grim now, with the effects of the national overhaul
of welfare just beginning to be felt.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors reported Wednesday that 15 percent more homeless
families requested shelter this year than last. The mayors cited cuts in
public assistance and the lack of affordable housing as two reasons for the
increase.

In Massachusetts, many welfare recipients stand to lose their cash benefits on
Monday as they come up against the two-year time limit imposed by the state's
strict welfare reform law.

``The wolf may be approaching the door, but it's not there yet,'' said Philip
Mangano, executive director of the Massachusetts Housing and Shelter Alliance.
``It'll be bad enough soon enough.''

Benefit cutoffs and reductions are beginning to kick in at different times all
across the country. When they do, the result seems to be the same: more
homeless families.

Almost half of welfare recipients in 10 cities became homeless between
September 1997 and September 1998 after their benefits were reduced or
eliminated, according to a survey conducted by Homes for the Homeless, a
research center affiliated with Columbia University in New York City.

In Newark, N.J., shelters flooded with the working poor are closing because
they are financed in large part by programs that don't subsidize people who
work.

``If that's happening now in this great economy, what's going to happen when
welfare reform kicks in?'' said Cybelle Fox, a research associate for Homes
for the Homeless.

A November 1998 study by the National Coalition for the Homeless found half of
homeless families in Atlanta had recently lost welfare benefits. In Los
Angeles, 12 percent of homeless families surveyed said they lost their place
to live because of benefit cuts.

In one Wisconsin county, homelessness increased by 50 percent for children,
but only 1 percent for adult men, a group largely unaffected by welfare
reform.

``Almost all of our transitional facilities for women and children are full,
have waiting lists and are turning people away,'' said Robert Hess, president
of the Center for Poverty Solutions in Baltimore. ``All our emergency shelters
for women and children are full and turning people away.''

Hess is keeping a worried eye on Jan. 1, when Maryland imposes its two-year
welfare cutoff.

In Michigan, mothers who have had their benefits reduced or eliminated can't
find jobs that pay enough for rent, health insurance, food and transportation,
said Richard Anderson, program director for the Traveler's Aid Society of
Detroit.

He thinks the Homes for the Homeless study actually underreports the number of
families who lost their homes because of welfare reform.

Last week, Anderson's group hosted a party similar to the bash scheduled in
Boston. About 1,500 homeless children showed up.

``The party was a success inasmuch as the kids had a place to go,'' Anderson
said. ``Now what are we going to do with these kids the other 364 days?''

 "Speaking of Republicans pushing for impeachment during a war with Iraq,
Democrat Charles Rangel said, "In times of war, anyone who conspires against
the commander in chief--. This comes a lot closer to the definition of high
crimes and misdemeanors than where the president's hands were in the Oval
Office.''
 "Our troops ``will be demoralized if we do stop this constitutional
process,'' added Democrat Duncan Hunter.


GOP Wants Impeachment Debate Friday

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Brushing aside sharp Democratic protests, Republicans
insisted on bringing articles of impeachment against President Clinton to the
House floor for a Friday debate despite the continuing campaign of U.S.
airstrikes against Iraq.

``We strongly object to this matter coming up tomorrow or the next day or any
day in which our young men and women in the military are in harm's way,''
complained Democratic leader Dick Gephardt.

``There's no way to know when the troops will have completed their mission,''
countered Rep. Bob Livingston, the Louisiana Republican in line to become
House speaker in January. ``We cannot refrain from advancing the people's
business on this critical issue.''

The clash on the House floor Thursday was a prelude to the first presidential
impeachment debate in 130 years -- a historic event suddenly made even more
remarkable by the military hostilities halfway around the world.

Clinton faces four articles of impeachment on perjury, obstruction of justice
and abuse of power, all stemming from his efforts to conceal a sexual
relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

The president's prospects for avoiding impeachment have faded dramatically in
recent days as a string of wavering GOP lawmakers announced plans to vote in
favor of sending his case to a Senate trial.

That drift continued during the day, as a handful of additional Republicans
said they would support impeachment, and a few Democrats lined up against.

Despite widespread predictions that impeachment would be approved, one
Democrat, Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., cautioned reporters, ``It's still a
dynamic situation. It's fluid.''

Many Democrats and a small number of Republicans have called for Clinton's
censure, and the president has virtually invited such an outcome for the
gravest crisis of his career. But majority Republicans refuse to allow a vote
on anything short of impeachment, saying it is up to the Senate to mete out a
punishment.

Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., also reaffirmed during the day that the
Senate would proceed to a trial if the House impeaches Clinton. ``We will go
to a trial and there won't be any deal making,'' he said on CNN.

An Associated Press survey showed 190 House members in support of impeachment,
184 opposed, and the balance either undecided or unwilling to disclose their
decisions.

``I'll let you know tomorrow,'' said Rep. Connie Morella, a Maryland
Republican who is among the ranks of uncommitted. ``I want to hear the
debate,'' said Rep. Jon Fox of Pennsylvania, who lost his seat in the November
election.

Rep. Paul McHale, D-Pa., told reporters he had made up his mind but wouldn't
disclose his decision because of the ongoing military campaign in Iraq.

Republicans grudgingly agreed on Wednesday night to a brief delay in
impeachment proceedings that had been set for Thursday. They did so after
Clinton went on television to announce the air campaign against Iraq. At the
same time, numerous lawmakers said they were deeply suspicious of Clinton's
timing, and promised to go ahead as soon as possible.

By midday Thursday, they had proposed a schedule for 16 hours of debate,
running past midnight Friday, to be followed by votes on Saturday on the four
articles of impeachment and a Democratic attempt to force a vote on censure.
Democrats scuttled that, citing the troops overseas.

Republicans then announced they would bring the issue to the floor under rules
that could provide for as little as one hour of debate on what many lawmakers
have cited as the most important issue of their careers. House Majority Leader
Dick Armey announced that talks with Democrats would continue in hopes of
finding agreement on a longer debate time.

At the White House, Clinton told reporters he didn't think proceedings on the
floor would undercut his ability to carry out the military mission.

``No, I think that, first of all, I'm going to complete this mission,'' he
replied -- in words that Armey later read on the House floor in response to
Gephardt's comments.

Lawmakers of both parties cited men and women in uniform to buttress their
points of view -- in unusually strong language.

Speaking of the Republicans' stance, Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., cited his
own service in Korea. ``In times of war, anyone who conspires against the
commander in chief, that comes a lost closer to high crimes and misdemeanors
than where the president's hands were at any given time in the Oval Office,''
he said.

About one month after Princess Diana was murdered, I received an anonymous
phone call from a man who said he was a historian living in Europe. He told me
the place where Diana was killed, Pont de L'Alma, was built on an ancient
temple to the Goddess Diana.
As I questioned him more, he became nervous. He said he couldn't tell me
anymore than what he had already said. He was afraid my telephone was tapped
and he indicated that he would be in danger if anyone knew he had given me
this information.   He hung up abruptly.
I pulled out a reference book to check out one of the claims he had made. He
told me the world "alma" meant "priestess in the temple of Diana". I found out
that the word is actually spelled "almah" and it is a middle eastern word
which means "Priestess in the Temple of the Moon Goddess Diana"
I then began an extensive search and found that many of the things he told me
were confirmed in my reference books. I wrote a 9 page article which I called
"Diana, Queen of Heaven". This was the name of the Goddess Diana. She was the
Goddess with three faces. The article was put out over the Internet and was
reprinted in many newspapers and on added to many websites. It was also
mentioned in at least three books.
None of the articles or books delved into the deeper aspects of my article,
so I decided to write a book. The book will debut at the Global Sciences

NOTE TO READERS: In an attempt to cover the wide range of responses
to, and information concerning, yesterday's U.S. attack on Iraq,
we have compiled what we believe to be a balanced series of
quotations concerning the subject. The quotations appear in the
TOP STORIES section below. (Please direct your comments on this
coverage to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ).



TOP STORIES

* The U.S. and Britain yesterday launched a military strike on
  Iraq in response to an UNSCOM report to the U.N. Security
  Council that said Iraq had not fully cooperated with weapons
  inspection efforts.
- reports say yesterday's attacks used only missiles and
  not manned aircraft, but that future attacks will use
  other measures.
- Iraqi officials say five people have been killed and
  30 others injured in the attacks.
- the attack has led to a postponement of a U.S. House
  of Representatives vote on articles of impeachment
  against President Bill Clinton; the vote is expected
  to be rescheduled for Friday or Saturday.


QUOTATIONS:

"Iraq's conduct ensured that no progress was able to be made
in either the fields of disarmament or accounting for its
prohibited weapons programs."

- UNSCOM report to the U.N Security Council on Iraqi
  disarmament


"The exaggerated uproar over the Iraqi weapons of mass
destruction is nothing more than a big lie. The other lie is
that Iraq poses a threat to its neighbors."

- Iraqi U.N. envoy Nizar Hamdoon


"I have ordered a strong, sustained series of air strikes
against Iraq. They are designed to degrade Saddam's capacity
to develop and deliver weapons of mass destruction and to
degrade his ability to threaten his neighbors."

- U.S. President Bill Clinton (Oval Office address)


"...a sad day for the world"

- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan


"Any use of force, as the president has indicated, involves
risk. And, to limit the risk to our troops and to our allies

troops. Iraq should not misunderstand our determination."

- U.S. Sec. of Defense William Cohen


"Wicked people bombarded several targets on the soil of your
great Iraq, thinking that they will twist your great will
and your determination. Resist and fight them as we have
always done. God gives you victory, and disgrace will be
theirs.

- statement from the official Iraqi News Agency


"The operation employs U.S. Navy aircraft flying from the
decks of the U.S.S. Enterprise. U.S. Air Force and Royal Air
Force aircraft operating from land bases in the region, and
tomahawk cruise missiles launched from U.S. Navy ships at
sea and United States Air Force B-52's."

- U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Henry Shelton


"There is absolutely no excuse or pretext to use force
against Iraq. The use of force not only has serious
consequences for the implementation of Security Council

1998-12-17 Thread RoadsEnd





From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Jack,

Actually, you do not know anything about Plantard if you read the book
"The holy blood, the holy Graal", which is in itself a bloody mystery!

Indeed, this famous Plantard, the son of a manservant, little-son of a day
laborer, originating from Redon through his mother Amélie Raulo, met in 1938
in Paris a cousin, vicar of the parish Saint-Clotilde. The war started and the
German occupation in 1940. That poor guy, thanks to the relations of his
mother in Redon, heard about the Dagobert family, or more accurately, of Sir
René Dagobert, manager of a company in St Nazaire.

Sir René Dagobert was my regrets father, whose very important relations in
the masonic and industrial world in St Nazaire, could only attract the
attention of the Plantard family.

This is then, that little by little, Pierre Plantard met members of the
Cagoule, a secret society that wished to reverse (destroy) the french republic
in the favor of a technocratic system, the Synarchy, whose spiritual power
would be in the hand of the roman Catholic Church and the monarchy very well
represented by the Habsbourg, nostalgic of the Saint Roman Germanic Empire.

When we talk about the Throne and the Altar, we think about the baptem of
Clovis which made France the big daugther of the Church (still catholic and
roman, of course!).

But, when we talk about Clovis we think also about the Merovingians, this
kings UN-DONE (Note: game of words in between "faits néants" (undone) and
"faineants" for lazy, that was the nickname of the merovingian kings) whose
the most famous, the king Dagobert, had the distraction to put his breeches
upside down (famous french song about the king Dagobert)... In fact, all these
bad stories in children songs only had one goal, to discredite a family and
take the power, this is what Pépin le Bref did in 751 in stealing the place of
the last merovingian, Childéric lll, with the complicity of a Greek named
Zacharie who called himself a pope, when he was only a bishop in Rome.

Childéric lll was married to a woman called Gisèle who had wisigothic
blood and who said that she was from the filiation of Mary-Magdelein the
beloved partner of Jesus. This is why, in Rennes-le-Château, there is a church
dedicated to Ste Madelein as well as a path inaugurated en 1902 by the abbe
Saunière and the minister of the Arts schools at that time. That path, that
anyone can walk on, goes from the collar of Linas to the Pech Cardou and a
sign mentions the inauguration of it.

Of course, from the deposition of Childéric lll, his son Thierry, young
man, promised to the monks of St Wandrille- Fontenelle to perpetuate the
memory of his ancestors, which he did in getting married with a viking woman
to found a family to which he gave the name of his most famous ancestor: the
king Dagobert, who has been compared to Solomon the king of Israel whose the
Merovingians asserted the origins through the Egypt (Pharamond = Pharaon =
Moïse).

This is how, from generation to generation, the Dagobert family
transmitted the Tradition of the Egyptians up to Luc Siméon Auguste Dagobert
also called de Fontenille (contraction of Fontenelle and Wandrille). That one,
nephew of the count of St Germain who initiated Cagliostro and Philippe
d'Orléans, became chief general of the army of the oriental Pyrénées during
the french Revolution. The Convention gave him the mission of relieving
(destitution) the Bourbon family from Spain according to the plan of Carnot,
organizer of the victory. Unfortunately, he had been poisoned by traitors in
the Lodge of the Philadelphes of Narbonne, some bad Knights of Malta who
prefigurated the Opus Dei which nowadays tries to destroy the French Republic
in the profit of the Habsbourg allied with the Bourbons.

This is why, in accordance with a lot of french politicians, we ask to
Jacques Chirac, our President of the Republic, to make a referendum about the
treaty of Amsterdam which assures the independance of France in the united
Europe.

I hope that I answered as well as possible to your additional questions.

Kind regards

Roger-René Dagobert

 The Shanghai Buick debuts amid doubts

 Analysts see little hope for profit
 soon

 December 17, 1998

 BY MICHAEL ZIELENZIGER
 AND JENNIFER LIN
 Free Press Foreign Correspondents

 SHANGHAI, China -- Today, a white Buick
 Regal will roll off a new General
 Motors Corp. assembly line that just 22
 months ago was a farm field.

 The $1.5-billion General Motors plant
 in Shanghai is the largest foreign
 investment ever made in China. It is a
 sprawling, 2.4-million-square-foot,
 state-of-the-art assembly line that
 employs an estimated 1,700 workers at
 about $1.40 an hour.

 When full production begins in April,
 about 40 percent of the Buicks
 manufactured in China will consist of
 locally produced parts, as part of a
 joint venture between GM and the
 Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp., a
 government-owned enterprise. The Buick
 will carry a price tag of about $40,000
 in China -- about 100 times the annual
 wages of an average Chinese worker.

 But building cars isn't the same as
 selling them, and legions of skeptics
 believe it will be years before GM ever
 sees a significant profit from its
 investment.

 "It's a miserable time to be opening a
 car plant," said one former executive
 involved in GM's operation in Shanghai
 who requested anonymity. "The auto
 market in China is really hurting right
 now, and there is really no sign of
 improvement. GM has to be looking 10
 years out to imagine they will make any
 money."

 The economic crisis that stormed across
 Southeast Asia this year has begun
 buffeting the Chinese economy, which
 remains under tight government control.
 Government ministries have cut
 spending, reduced new investments in
 joint venture projects, and delayed
 efforts to privatize failing
 government-owned industries. The
 government also has issued orders to
 curtail car purchases.

 But government-owned businesses and
 joint ventures, along with government
 agencies, are the main buyers of luxury
 cars. Experts say only one in 10
 passenger cars in China is purchased by
 individuals.

 Philip Murtagh, general manager of GM's
 Shanghai factory, said he is confident
 that GM can meet its conservative sales
 plan after the factory finishes its
 test run and begins full production of
 cars next April. "We have nearly 5,000
 firm orders for the vehicle right now,"
 he said. "We think we're going to
 compete very favorably" with
 Mercedes-Benz and other luxury imported
 vehicles as a Chinese-made car.

 Outside analysts are not so sure. "The
 customer base GM is trying to serve is
 shrinking," said Len Shapiro, director
 of China operations for Automotive
 Resources Asia, a market analysis firm.
 "It was a great idea when GM started
 planning this factory in 1995, but in
 1999 it's not going to work."

 Even before the Asian crisis started in
 mid-1997, international car makers were
 expressing doubts about the prospects
 for profits in China. Foreign
 manufacturers often are confronted with
 an ever-changing array of government
 regulations and find it difficult to
 distribute or service their vehicles.
 These functions usually are completely
 controlled by the Chinese partner.

 -Caveat Lector-

The Family Leave Act was an excellent idea.  Also, the Clinton
administration attempt to get a national health insurance program going.
We're the only industrialized nation without a national health insurance
program for its citizens.. Those businesses which do provide coverage for
their employees have to pick up the tab for the businesses which
don't...look at the fast food service industry...and the retail sector.

But, of course, that idea was squelched by the usual special interests who
control our political process..

But perhaps President Clinton's greatest contribution during the
past eight years has been his willingness to insure that some of the more
draconian social measures of the Republican party were not signed into
law.
His policies have been moderate, for the most part...  certainly, not
liberal by any stretch of the imagination.  But perhaps his greatest
contribution has been just being theregiving the lunatic fringe and
Nazis on the Far Right someone to hate.

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE 'PEACHMENT
by Bruce Maccabee [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(written between 10-11 PM, 12/16/98)

'Twas the Night before 'Peachment and All through Iraq
the Bombers were Flying and Not Turning Back.

The Congress was meeting, they couldn't go home,
"We can't carry on,  we have to postpone.."

Billy was grateful Saddham had been bad,
'cause now all attention was right on Baghdad.

A Missile of Mercy, he thought to himself,
should put this impeachment right back on the shelf.

As the Tomahawk roared through the warm city smog,
it became clear, "The tail is wagging the dog."

(Hil'y was nestled  all snug in her bed while
visions of separation danced in her head.)

Then over Baghdad there 'rose such a clatter,
That even King Rat wondered, "What is the matter?"

He ran to his window and threw up the sash,
knocked over an urn and spilled hidden cash.

The sound of the bombers way over his head
meant that he couldn't just go back to bed.

Laying his finger aside of his nose
he decided to call someone that he knows.

He picked up the phone and dialed lively and quick.
But it wasn't to call old jolly  Saint Nick.

I know where I'll find him, he said with a grin,
The "Five Sided Fruitcake,"  that's what he's in.

The Pentagon answered the phone with great shock,
"We're bombing his city and he want's to talk?"

"Put on Der Schlickmeister" he said with a sneer.
"What I will say  he does want to hear."

"You've done it again," Saddham said with a groan.
"The bombs now fall down and impeachment's postponed."

"Let me stay leader of all of Iraq
and I'll keep all the congressmen off of your back."

Billy smiled and he winked as he put down the phone
and told the Joint Chief's "You all can go home."

This crisis is over for Bill and Saddham
but if Congress decides to  go on with its plan,
there will be yet again a reason to fight,
"Merry Missiles to All and to All a Good Night."

RAT
by Bruce Maccabee


Washington Post, Tuesday, Nov. 26,1998, page A10.

(This story should have been closer to the front of the paper,
along with the comments about impeachment.)

"INDICTED DEMOCRATIC DONOR MAY HAVE KEFT U.S." reads the title
of the article.  An acceptable response might be "What, another?"
This comes at a time when impeachment hearings are in the offing
and one of the matters to be discussed is the China Connection
which is well described in the new book THE YEAR OF THE RAT, by
Timperlake and Triplett (Regnery, 1998).  The appearance of this
news story was particularly timely for me, since I had just
finished reading the book which covers the history of the 1996
election funding scandals and following events up through the
spring of 1998.  The article (shortened) reads,

"TAMPA, Nov. 25 - A business executive charged with making illegal
 contributions to the campaigns of President Clinton and other
 Democrats apparently has fled the country, the Justice department
 said.  Mark Jimenez is considered a fugitive..not much hope
 that he is coming back... Jimenez, 52, a Philippine national, was
 indicted in September on 17 counts alleging he made nearly $40,000
 in illegal contributions to Democratic campaigns in 1994 and 1996.
 In 1996 he was Florida's largest donor to the National Democratic
 Party.  The Miami executive and others in his company ...(used a
 method known as)...conduit contributions or money laundering  ..
 (to)  evade contribution limits. Jimenez came to the United
 States in the early 1980's.  He built Future Tech, a distributer
 of computer components and peripherals in Miami, from a small
 company to one that does more than $250 million a year in business."

How does this fit in with the "Year of the rat?"  Like a glove.
According to the Chinese calendar, 1996 was "the year of the rat."
It was during this year (and the preceding 2 years) that roughly
2.8 million bucks were received by the Democratic National
Committee which has had to be returned.  Why?  Page 98 of YEAR OF
THE RAT will give you an idea.  Ng (pronounced "ong" as in "pong")
Lapseng has connections to criminals in Macau, according to the
authors.  Although Ng has not been mentioned much in the press,
two others mentioned below, Charlie Trie and John Huang, have
"made press."  Trie, financially backed by Ng and well acquainted
with Clinton, is characterized in the book (Chapter 9) as a
"Chinese gangster, Little Rock chef, DNC fund-raiser and current
criminal defendant."  He is claimed to be a member of a Chinese
"Triad" gang.  John Huang, a friend of the Riady's/Lippo group
in Indonesia, was a "good buddy" of the president (Friend of Bill)
who actually got a job at the Commerce Dept and was given a Top
Secret clearance and several briefings by the CIA on Asian policy.
Apparently he kept the Riady's informed of what he was learning..
and thereby, the Chinese government.  (There is a picture in the
book of Pres. Bill with his arm around Huang.)  Note:  one gets

Iran: Stray Missile Hits Iran City

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- A missile from the U.S.-British attack on Iraq fell
Thursday on the Iranian border city of Khorramshahr, Tehran radio reported.

The state-run radio gave no details. But a resident reached in the city by
telephone said the windows of several buildings were shattered.

The resident said on condition of anonymity he did not know if anyone had been
injured or killed.

Khorramshahr is about 25 miles east of Basra in Iraq, a large port city with
major oil facilities.

The United States and Britain launched joint airstrikes against Iraq early
Thursday morning following a report by chief U.N. weapons inspector Richard
Butler that Iraq had failed to live up to its promise to cooperate fully with
the inspectors.

At least two people were killed and 30 were injured in Iraq, a doctor said.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman warned Thursday that airstrikes against
Iraq would bring ``pain and misery'' to Iraq's people and urged Baghdad to
keep its promise to the United Nations.

Relations between Iran and Iraq are still tense after their 1980-88 war, which
killed or injured an estimated 1 million people. But Iran has always been
against military strikes against Iraq.

Nazi Atom Bomb Files To Be Opened

MUNICH, Germany (AP) -- Once top secret, files on Nazi Germany's unsuccessful
race to build an atomic bomb are being opened to the general public for the
first time.

Among the materials received Thursday by Munich's German Museum are research
notes by famous German physicists who took part in the program, such as Werner
Heisenberg and Otto Hahn, as well as notebooks, photos and correspondence
between scientists and Nazi authorities.

The documents suggest that German research into the atomic bomb was ``nearly
parallel'' with efforts in the United States, but that the Third Reich lacked
materials to build one because of wartime destruction, said the museum's
archivist, Wilhelm Fuessl.

A November 1945 report by two U.S. investigators, six months after the Nazi
defeat in World War II, says ``only the lack of plutonium'' kept Adolf Hitler
from building an atomic bomb, Fuessl said.

U.S. forces seized the files at the war's end. They were returned to a
research center in Karlsruhe, Germany, in the 1970s, but access there was
largely restricted to academics, Fuessl said.

No exhibit is planned for now at the Munich museum, but Fuessl said the files
will be open to the public.

Re: [CTRL] The Holocaust

1998-12-17 Thread Jim Condit Jr.

 -Caveat Lector-

See Fr. Fahey for analysis of the word "anti-Semitism"   Christian
countries defending themselves against the anti-Christ, Talmudic mentality
of the historical dominant leaders of Jewry -- is NOT anti-Semitism. Unjust
persecution of individual Jews can be called that (although the word is
still too wide and loose because most Arabs are Semites, and most Arabs are
against Israel). Of course, the dominant faction of Jewish leaders have
always called anyone or anything that challenges any part of their agenda
"anti-Semitic." I repeat what I said before on this list: the word
anti-Semite lost its sting when the whole media tried to pin it on Buchanan
after his victory in New Hampshire in 1996. At that point several tens of
millions of Americans thought to themselves, "They're talking about me if
they're talking about Buchanan -- and I'm not anti-Semitic. So now David
Duke or Hitler himself could come out on the nation's stage, and Ted Koppel
and Geraldo could call them anti-Semitic all they wanted and it wouldn't do
any good. Sad, but true -- but that's what happens when on group of
dishonent info-thugs perverts a word for their own dishonest, propaganda
motives.

Incidentally, today's unbelievable, brazen, crass act of war against Iraq
by Clinton and the claque of Jews around him (Cohen, Berger, Albright,
Emanuel, and on and on and on) goes will go along way within six months to
have many more Americans using the term ZOG (zionist occupational
governement) and JOB (Jewish Occupational Government). This attack has
nothing to do with American interests, as more and more Americans are
waking up to that simple reality. Jim Condit Jr.

Alan Dershowitz revealed on Geraldo the other night that the reason the
left must save Clinton is to thwart the pro-lifers, the Christian
fundamentalists, etc. -- whom he called the forces of evil! -- so that they
do not takeover the country. SnoOwl is obviously a Dershowitz soul-mate, as
are several others on this list. They, like Dershowitz, do not seem to be
sincere debaters, but only bent on calling "white" "black" and "black"
"white"   the impeachment of Clinton will tarnish EVERYTHING the man
has done --- that's why the left i frantic, that's why it was worth
dropping their mask to bomb Iraq now --- how many Americans will catch
on? Every citizen who is an AMERICAN citizen first, as opposed to an
Israeli citizen first, should begin to wonder why all those who want to
save the degenerate Clinton also support the wanton, war-mongering attack
on Iraq. This is the first time we have seen a major prolonged attack on a
sovereign nation who was not already attacking somebody else. We have lost
control of our country, and you don't have to look into shadowy, mysterious
organizations to see who now runs it. It's on your TV every hour, 24 hours
a day when an event like this is on --- those working with AIPAC, the evil
B'nai B'rith, and the Isreali lobby. It's now out in the open for everyone
to see. It is necessary that we have a Christian, dignified, but vigorous
attitude as we move to take back our country like the Catholic Church in
the Middle Ages, and not fall for unjust reactions to unjust aggression
such as was overseen by the evil Adolph Hitler -- who really has turned out

Open Source Software: Echoes from the Cold War

ST PETERSBURG Dec 15 (Reuters) - Following the public release of
the latest batch of Soviet documents in November this year, Alexei

discovered a paper trail which shows that the KGB, the now defunct
Soviet secret police, made anonymous donations to Free Software
Foundation sponsored Open Source Software development projects.

Open Source is a scheme in which computer software development is
carried out by thousands of volunteers on the Internet.  Its
products are freely available and include operating systems, Web
servers, and scripting languages.  Organizations such as the Free
Software Foundation accept donations from third parties for the
purpose of developing Open Source software.

The documents allegedly show that during the 1980s various Open

totaling more than $175,000.

 -Caveat Lector-

What calamity (if any) was about to befall Geo Bush (Sr) when it was
originally decided to act against Iraq back in '90?  It seems as though
when 'genderhood' is threatened, Hussein appears to be the one they try to
geld.  I refer to this in view of the Sudan/Afghanistan strikes (following
Grand Jury testimony) and now this.  The impetus for my comment stems in
part from an O'Reilly (Fox News) piece with Al Haig, during which Haig
referred to striking Iraq as being a way to prove 'manhood' ... is Willie
Clinton the only one to whom Haig may have referred?

From wsws.org

WSWS : News  Analysis : Middle East : Iraq

Clinton's attack on Iraq

Military aggression and political diversion

By the Editorial Board
17 December 1998

The launching of US air and missile attacks on Iraq is a measure both of
the desperation of the Clinton administration and of the criminal
recklessness and bellicosity of American imperialism. Thousands of Iraqi
lives are to be sacrificed, for the short-term goal of preserving Clinton's
presidency, and for the long-term goal of maintaining US dominance in the
oil-rich Middle East.

The timing of the attack, on the eve of the impeachment debate and vote in
the House of Representatives, is clearly bound up with the political crisis
of the Clinton White House. As he has throughout this political crisis, at
every point when his presidency has been threatened, Clinton has sought to
appease his right-wing opponents with the threat or use of military force.

In February, after the eruption of the Lewinsky affair, amid a media
barrage aimed at forcing his resignation, Clinton seized on a conflict with
Iraq over the activity of United Nations weapons inspectors to go to the
brink of military action. In August, only three days after his testimony
before the grand jury convened by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr,
Clinton launched cruise missile strikes on Sudan and Afghanistan.

After going to the brink with Iraq again on November 15, Clinton was widely
denounced by congressional Republicans when he called off planned air
strikes, with B-52s already in the air headed for Baghdad. Republican
senators openly called for the US government to set as its goal the
overthrow and murder of Saddam Hussein. Only a few days ago, House Majority
Whip Tom DeLay, who is spearheading the impeachment drive, baited the White
House over its failure to oust the Iraqi leader.

If the timing of the attack is based on political expediency, however, the
military action flows directly and inexorably from American policy in the
region. For nearly eight years, since the end of the Persian Gulf war, the
United States has maintained a death grip over this largely devastated and
militarily defenseless country. The sanctions regime imposed through the
United Nations has killed an estimated half a million children, depriving
them of food, medicine and other basic necessities.

The official pretext for the economic embargo, the claim that a country
largely without electric power and running water was nonetheless
stockpiling nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, is an utter fraud. No
evidence that Iraq currently possesses weapons of mass destruction has ever
been presented by the US or the US-controlled UNSCOM inspectors. Instead,
Iraq has been required to do the impossible--prove the nonexistence of such
weapons in a territory the size of Texas with a population of 20 million
people. There have even been demands that Iraq rid itself of the
"capability" of producing such weapons, which would mean, given the
flexibility of modern technology, that Iraq must revert to pre-industrial
conditions.

It is a measure of the cynicism of the American political establishment and
the corporate-controlled media that Clinton's lies about a trivial matter,
his affair with Monica Lewinsky, have been declared an impeachable offense,
while his repetition of gross, obvious and, in the full sense of the word,
criminal lies about Iraq is accepted and endorsed. Indeed, if any of
Clinton's Republican opponents were the occupant of the White House, the
lies would be just as brazen and the military aggression just as flagrant.

In the propaganda of 1998, "weapons of mass destruction" occupies the same
place that the "domino theory" and the Gulf of Tonkin resolution occupied
during the Vietnam War. And the former antiwar protester of the 1960s seeks
to save himself through the slaughter of innocent Iraqi people.

The latest confrontation with Iraq was deliberately instigated by UNSCOM,
which functions quite openly as an instrument of the US government,

[CTRL] Ru Mills' Dream

1998-12-17 Thread Brian Redman

 -Caveat Lector-

In light of a report that Sherman Skolnick is saying an attempt
to arrest Bill Clinton had occurred yesterday afternoon, a
message I received from "Ru Mills" regarding a dream she'd
had Tuesday night (12/15; night before reported arrest attempt)
is interesting:


I dreamed last night that a number of General and Admirals and special
operations type commandos, marched into the Oval office. They demanded tht Al
Gore and the chief Justice join them. Then with a gun to clinto's head, they
said, "either kill yourself now, or sign this resignation." He signed the
resignation and Al gore was sworn in immediately. Clinton moved out the back
door and Al Gore read a prepared speech from Clinton at a press conference.

That was all well and good, but the reason this was done was that war had
broken out and the joint chiefs of staff would not go to war wiwth Clinton as
Commander in Chief,

NEWS UPDATEThursday, December 17, 1998Picture

British Lords allow
Pinochet Petition



11.45 a.m.: General Augusto Pinochet was this morning given new hope that
he could escape extradition from Britain to Spain when the British House of
Lords allowed a petition to set aside an earlier Law Lords' ruling denying
him immunity from arrest and extradition.

In an unprecedented move, a panel of five senior past and present Law Lords
decided unanimously to accept an application to rescind the Lords' November
25 decision on immunity, over concerns about possible bias.

The panel spent two days listening to arguments that links between Lord
Hoffmann, one of the Law Lords who made the original decision, and the
human rights group Amnesty International gave rise to "a real danger of
bias."

Lord Hoffmann, a longtime director and chairman of Amnesty's charity arm
Amnesty International Charity Ltd whose wife also works for Amnesty, cast
the deciding vote in the original Lords ruling, which was passed by a 3-2
majority.

The decision by fellow Law Lords to set aside that judgement will come as a
severe embarrassment to Lord Hoffmann, a South African-born liberal,
particularly if in the full ruling there is significant criticism of his
apparent failure to appreciate the need to disclose his Amnesty links ahead
of the original, costly six-day hearing.

That historic judgment cleared the way for Mr Straw's decision to authorise
the lengthy extradition process, as Spanish authorities seek to get
Pinochet sent to Madrid to face a long list of alleged human rights crimes
relating to his 1973-90 rule.

By finding in the 83-year-old general's favour, the Lords opened the way
for a complete rehearing of the whole immunity issue, possibly sometime
next month.

That could take even longer than the original six-day hearing as, in
addition to Amnesty, the Chilean government could also seek to make
representations, as might the governments of European countries other than
Spain which have expressed an interest in extraditing Pinochet.

The Lords' landmark ruling left human rights campaigners disappointed while
General Augusto's Pinochet's supporters were celebrating. Carlos Reyes,
spokesman for Chile Democratico and Chileans in Exile, said he feared the
decision would lead eventually to the collapse of the case against the
former dictator.

Mr Reyes said: "I am in total shock at this decision. It appears that the
Law Lords have ruled that anyone who is concerned with human rights could
be biased in this case. Many of the lawyers who are working for Pinochet
are concerned with human rights. It is completely wrong.

"It seems to me that this could be a way out for Pinochet. From the very
beginning I believed justice would be done and would be seen to be done.
Now I am not so sure."

Amnesty International chairman Andy McEntee said: "We are disappointed in
terms of the time and effort expended and in terms of having to come back
and do it all over again.

[CTRL] GB: Immigration

1998-12-17 Thread Alamaine Ratliff

 -Caveat Lector-

This is a trend throughout Europe and elsewhere.  I believe Germany also
recently curtailed immigration; France has done so in the past decade;
Spain is building some sort of anti-immigrant barrier in N Africa or just
across the straits in Spain; the U.S. has been reported to have more armed
INS-ers than FBI-ers to guard its borders, first with Mexico then Canada
(the latter having been a witless victim of a law designed to bolster
travelers from the former).

Immigration and Asylum Bill turns refugees into pariahs

By Tony Hyland
17 December 1998

The Labour government's Immigration and Asylum Bill sets out a raft of
measures due to become law in the New Year. The policies it contains
further restrict the right to asylum.

"Fairer, firmer and faster", was Home Secretary Jack Straw's sound bite
when the measures were outlined. The first is a reference to the decision
to grant "leave to remain" to some 30,000 refugees whose claims are pending
from before 1995. This is a largely administrative device to reduce the
backlog of 84,000 cases. It will be applied to cases where no initial
decision was taken on asylum applications.

By taking into account family ties rather than the asylum issue alone, the
government claims to be acting compassionately. However, this gesture was
made whilst announcing proposals that will ride roughshod over such
considerations in the future and strengthen laws which already deny asylum
to the majority of applicants.

The measures are drawn from a White Paper published in July. Most likely to
become legislation are those proposals withdrawing legal rights and welfare
payments to asylum seekers. At their centre are moves to strip away present
legal recourse refugees have to appeal against an "initial refusal" by
immigration officers. The ability to seek a Judicial Review is to be
eliminated, as is the right to appeal against a deportation order made
following an earlier lost appeal.

Applicants will only have the ability to appeal to the same authority that
turned down their initial asylum request. Its decision will be final in all
but name, as the time period for making an appeal will be reduced from 28
to 5 days--effectively preventing fresh evidence being gathered in time to
support their case.

The White Paper proposes an increase in the number of places where asylum
seekers can be detained prior to their "removal", i.e., deportation. It
calls for detention to be the norm "where removal is imminent". More
refugees will be effectively imprisoned, under conditions where Britain has
already been singled out for criticism due to the numbers it incarcerates.

Labour's plans go further than the legislation introduced three years ago
by the Conservative government that curtailed benefit and housing
provisions for asylum seekers. In 1996 the Tories withdrew these provisions
from those who applied "in-country", as opposed to those who applied "at
port". Many asylum seekers apply for residence "in country" in order to
avoid immediate incarceration at the port of entry and transfer to prison
or one of Britain's notorious Detention Centres. Labour will extend this
legislation to cover all refugees. In place of cash benefits, a voucher
system will be introduced to cover basic items such as food and clothing.

Under the "designated" housing system, asylum seekers will be dispersed
around the country. Rather than being housed in permanent accommodation,
refugees will be forced to lead a transitory existence in bed and breakfast
lodgings, without any disposable income.

This measure is also aimed at preventing the type of broad-based campaigns
mounted in the past to protest against the repatriation of immigrants who
established close ties in their workplace or local community. With this
type of segregation, refugees will be reduced to the status of pariahs.

Immigration officers are to be given powers normally reserved for the
police, including fingerprinting and the right to enter property on the
pretext of suspected "immigration offences".

Aspects of the White Paper that could also become law will have wider
ramifications for ethnic minorities with a long history of settlement in
the UK. Labour was previously committed to repealing part of the 1996 Act
that threatens companies with fines for employing illegal immigrants.
However, the White Paper recommends that checks on status at work by
immigration officers be retained. This place ethnic minorities under a
constant state of siege and stands on its head the legal axiom of "innocent
until proven guilty".

Settled immigrants will also be affected by the plan to reintroduce a
financial bond before a visitor's visa will be processed. The family of any
visitor will be obliged to tender what could be a prohibitive sum of money,
which will only be reimbursed once the visitor has left the country. The
right to appeal against the refusal of a visitor's visa is to

Hi, i'm new to this list but i was wondering if anyone had discussed the

It seems highly unlikely that no one was aware of the fact that 90% of

-dead radical stereotypes about them really do 
apply. They will be revealed asmean-spirited, partisan hacks, hypocrites, 
moral absolutists hiding theircraven desire for vengeance and power beneath 
a ridiculously transparentfaade of pious deliberation 
and respect for law. -- Gary Kamiya, Salon 
Mag.

The Clinton Defenders insist on 
speaking silly nonsense. Although I have no political sympathy for the equally 
corrupt RepubliCrats, lets deal with reality here. I am repeating a post to 
another newsgroup.

1.- Clinton should never be asked about this issue because it had 
nothingto do with the case judged (it was the Paula Jones case). 
The questionshould had been rejected by the judge for being 
irrelevant.Sorry, this is just plain 
wrong.Our great Feminist Leader, 
Bill Clinton personally lobbied Congress to expand permissable discovery 
in regards to sexual harrassment cases. He aggressively pushed this change 
in federal discovery law (violence against women's act, 1996).As an 
attorney, I agree that wide ranging depostion discovery in regards to one's 
sexual conduct could be improper and intrusive, but it is only poetic justice 
that Clinton gets hoisted by his own petard. If it was Mr. Average Citizen 
facing this intrusive questioning, do you think Clinton would be championing 
YOUR right to privacy?It is interesting to note that not one of Clinton 
Defenders has demanded that the Clinton sponsered expansion of deposition 
discovery permitting unlimited questioning in regards to a defendant's sex life 
be eliminated. If you want to see a Clinton Defender sweat, ask him/her if 
he/she would be infavor of restricting such wide ranging questioning in 
sexual harrassment cases.I just love it when these pandering politicians 
who knowingly pass unconstitutional intrusive laws get caught in their own evil 
legal spider web.2.- Clinton should have had the right to not 
answering the question and heshouldn't be prosecuted for not having told 
the truth because it violateshis right to not pleading 
guilty. More nonsense. Of 
course Clinton could have refused to testify before Ken Starr's Grand Jury. He 
could have taken the Fifth and refused to tesify, like any other citizen. 
Instead he made a political decision that he would commit premediated serial 
perjury and get away with it. Why he decided to commit blatant federal 
felonious perjury is incomphrehensible.3.- Clinton had 
the right to protect not only his privacy but also the oneof Monica 
Lewisnky. Sure he did, but once he 
stupidly permitted himself to be sued for sexual harrassment and his lawyer 
stupidly permitted him to undergo wide ranging depostion discovery (see point 1 
above), he lost that right to privacy. As an 
attorney I am still flabbergasted that Clinton did not simply take a default on 
the Paula Jones case. Once the Supreme Court ruled that the litigation could go 
forward while he was Pres. all he had to say was that it was too intrusive and 
demeaning on the Presidency to have to spend time defending the case and he 
would accept a default as to liabilitiy. When that happened the Court 
would then have merely ruled on the amount of damages, which under the facts of 
the case would have probably been less the $100,000.Once again, 
Arrogance trumps Common Sense.FLW

Hilary
  FORENSIC RESEARCH DOCUMENT  
TO61-7R10/10-77F05   RELEASE PRIORITY: CLASS I 
ROO1a   RESEARCH HISTORY: The microwave radiomissor 
cooking ovens were originally researched and developed by the Nazis for use by 
the mobile support operations for the invasion of the Soviet Union. By being 
able to utilize electronic equipment for preparation of meals on a mass-scale, 
the logistical problem of cooking fuels would have been eliminated, as well as 
the convenience of producing edible products in a greatly reduced 
time-factor.   After the close of World War II, the 
Allies discovered the medical research and documentation concerning these 
apparatuses. These documents and the experimental microwave equipment was 
transferred to the U. S. War Department, and classified for reference and 
scientific investigation. The Soviet Union also retrieved some of the devices, 
and proceeded to undertake experimentation on a separate basis.  
 The Russians have been the most diligent in their research on the 
biological effects of microwave ovens, and have outlawed their use, and have 
also issued an international warning concerning the possible biological and 
environmental damage that can be caused by the use of this and similar-frequency 
electronic apparatus.   FORENSIC RESEARCH ACTIVITIES 
SUMMARY   The following are the most significant German 
and Russian research operations facilities concerning the biological effects of 
microwaves: the initial research conducted by the Germans during the Barbarossa 
military campaign, at the Humbolot-Uviversitat zu Berlin (1942-1943): then, 
beginning in 1957 and up to the present, the Russian research operations are 
being conducted at the Institute of Radio Technology at Kinsk, Byelorussian 
Autonomous Region; also at the Institute of Radio Technology at Rajasthan in the 
Rossiskaja Autonomous Region, both in the Union of the Soviet Socialist 
Republics.   In most cases, the foods used for research 
analysis were exposed to microwave propagation at an energy-potential of 100 
kilowatts/cm3/second, to the point considered acceptable for sanitary, normal 
ingestion.   The effects noted by the German and Russian 
researchers will be presented in three categories: Category I, Cancer-Causing 
Effects; Category II, Nutritive Destruction of Foods; and Category III, 
Biological Effects of Exposure. [The first two points of Category I are missing. 
The remainder of the report is intact]   3. Creation of 
a binding effect to radioactivity in the atmosphere, thus causing a 
marked increase in the amount of alpha-and-beta-particle saturation in 
foods;   4. Creation of cancer-causing agents within 
protein-hydrolysate compounds in milk and cereal grains;  
 5. Alteration of elemental food-substances, causing disorders in the 
digestive system by unstable catabolism (breakdown) of foods subjected to 
microwaves;   6. Due to chemical alternations within 
food-substances, malfunctions were observed within the lymphatic systems, 
causing a degeneration of the immune- potentials of the body to protect against 
certain forms of neoplastics (cancerous growths);   7. 
Ingestion of microwaved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells 
within the blood serum (cytomas);   8. Microwave 
emissions caused alteration in the catabolic (breakdown) behavior of 
glucoside-and galactoside-elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this 
manner;   9. Microwave emission caused alteration of the 
catabolic (breakdown) behavior of plant-alkaloids (elemental substances) when 
raw, cooked, or frozen vegetables were exposed for even extremely short 
durations;   10. Cancer-causing free-radicals were 
formed within certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances, 
and in particular, raw root-vegetables; and   11. In a 
statistically high percentage of persons, microwaved foods caused stomach and 
intestinal cancerous growths, as well as a general degeneration of peripheral 
cellular tissues, with a gradual breakdown of the function of the digestive and 
excretive systems.   CATEGORY II: DECREASE IN FOOD 
VALUE: Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritive value of 
all foods researched. The following are the most important findings: 
  1. A decrease in the bioavailability (capability of the body 
to utilize the nutriment) of B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, essential 
minerals and lipotropics in all foods;   2. A loss of 
60-90% of the vital-energy field content of all tested foods;  
 3. A reduction in the

 The Bill and Saddam Show



On the eve of impeachment, and holy seasons in the east and west, the
curtain once again rises on the Bill and Saddam Show, starring the usual
cast of characters and with the same bloody and predictable ending. They
both retain power, and their people continue to suffer under their lies and
duplicity. Call it statecraft or a devil's ploy, but don't call it "national
defense."

It's the oldest trick in the political book. Distract the public from a
political crisis at home with a phony one abroad. Even after "Wag the Dog,"
the popular movie ridiculing the White House penchant for drumming up
foreign bogeymen, the Clinton administration has pulled the caper again. The
peacenik generation again uses war to try to save its skin.

It makes no sense for Congress to trust Clinton on war and peace as it
prepares to impeach him for pathological lying. Tragically and stupidly,
some Republicans are ready to believe every word. Of course, the White House
might have calculated that some of its opponents are suckers for killing
foreigners. No one said the Clinton administration lacks a survival
instinct.

Two days before the administration settled on Iraq, the usual suspects --
identified only as "U.S. intelligence sources" in the media -- floated
another trial balloon. We were told that terrorists allied with the shadowy
Osama Bin Laden were planning to bomb a U.S. city. Recall that this was the
same trump card Clinton used to justify a hit on a Sudanese pharmaceutical
factory, an action that violated the Constitution but took Monica off the
front pages for a few days.

Perhaps this time, the administration found the Bin Laden excuse too lame,
too spent, too uninteresting. Or perhaps their internal polling showed more
public fear of the demon Saddam Hussein. In any case, the Bin threat was
quickly dropped for the more tried-and-true excuse that Saddam was not
cooperating with the friendly U.N. inspectors crawling all over that
once-sovereign country.

Even amidst the killing, isn't it time we ask why Iraq wouldn't cooperate
with U.N. inspectors? Might there be another reason besides its desire to
hide chemical and biological weapons?

Iraq has been subject to U.S.-U.N. sanctions since 1991. More than 90,000
Iraqi children die every year due to disease and malnutrition because of
these sanctions, an instrument of war deemed unjust since the time of St.
Augustine. Meanwhile, Clinton spends his time in Palestine worrying about
children whose fathers have been casualties in a conflict he can do nothing
about.

Clinton could have ended these murderous sanctions long ago. Instead, he has
presided over that country's further demolition and impoverishment. But that
hasn't been enough. The U.S. has called for the overthrow of Saddam and made
clear its intention to keep sanctions in place until the end of time, not a
policy Big Oil has seen fit to oppose. After all, Iraq could be selling vast
quantities of the sweetest crude on earth, to the great benefit of American
consumers.

Meanwhile, after seven years of searching, not one "weapon of mass
destruction" -- or any evidence of one -- has been found. Most recently, the
U.S.-U.N. inspection squad sought to search, and to make copies of documents
from, the ruling party's political headquarters. And we know that the U.S.
is funding various front groups to overthrow the government, even as
Clinton's lackeys complain about an attempted coup d'etat against him at
home.

Would the CIA and its front groups find internal political information from
Iraq useful? Certainly. And is the Iraqi government likely -- even at the
cost of bombings -- to turn such information over to its sworn enemies?
Doubtful. This fact remains: there are no chemical weapons in the file
drawers of the downtown, two-story headquarters of the Ba'ath Party. The
demand to inspect this building was a provocation, and Saddam responded
predictably.

So, allegedly because the Iraqis refuse to allow an office building to be
searched -- and actually because it will derail the impeachment process and
generally advance the warfare state -- Clinton is sacrificing the lives of
foreigners who have never done anything to us, and risking U.S. troops. It's
important, after all, not to go down in history as William the Impeached.

It should be clear that Saddam and Bill need each other. Saddam needs a
foreign enemy on which to blame all his domestic troubles. And the U.S.
embargo and periodic bombings allow him to keep a tighter grip over his own
people. Bill needs a foreign enemy too, particularly one who heads a
far-away country few Americans care a whit about. Can Clinton count on the
patriotism reflex to cover up for his misrule? Surely Americans have not
been drained of all power of political discernment.

[CTRL] Is History Repeating Itself

Does anyone recall when Bush "hit" Iraq in Desert Storm all the news
coverage was about this war and NOT one word about what was happening in a
New York court room about his son and the banking scams?  I found the timing
of that rather interesting.  His history repeating itself or was
this really the most opportune time to strike Iraq?

[CTRL] The Conspiracy Against Democracy.

1998-12-17 Thread Franklin Wayne Poley

 -Caveat Lector-

Double agents like Manning are a big factor in this conspiracy. Consider
also people like Gore who preached "democracy" so vigorously when he was
in SE Asia recently but has no regard for democracy whatsoever. And I
have to suspect that despite his recent pronouncements on the "corrupt
political system" on CNN, Ross Perot is also a plutocrat delaying and
frustrating the inevitable which is "direct electronic democracy", for
all of North America. Otherwise this computer tycoon could bring
telepolitics to every Citizen of the USA.

From: "Frank McGovern" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is Count Guelfi's reply to me regarding the Shroud:

Dear FXM,

GI would be happy to answer your questions.


GNow, whether there is a bloodline or not - there is a biological
handprint on the cloth -

FIf there is a Grail family could it have been the Savoys?  They did
alright for themselves over the years.

GThe Savoy family is of the Bloodline, and hence, of the Grail, though
their claim is not as strong as others.

FWhen lady deCharny died it was passed on to someone who was distantly
related to her - not her son(he was a wastrel as
I have read).  She wanted to give it to someone who would care for it, and
maybe for more of a reason than that?

F The Shroud is the vessel of the Holy Blood it is the Grail.

G No. Though they truly believed that the shroud is that of Jesus. Hence,
their reason for keeping it. It is not his, because a shroud was never
placed over him at that young age. The man whose image is on the shroud is
not Jesus.

GAs a small discourse, I will explain a few details about the Grail. As a
symbol, it represents many esoteric things. It also exists as a physical
object. The relic, though not presently in use, but being kept, has been
said to have been used by the Gods of old to prolong life. This is done
through the transmutation of some type of fluid by the relic, which the Gods
then drank. It renewed them in some way. Of course, this is all just a
rumor. The relic does exist though. The age old legend has been that the
power of the Gods was in the blood or in modern ideas, DNA.

GTheir blood allowed them to live almost indefinitely, as well as to tap
into the Universal Matrix. When Kingship was established on the Earth, with
the Gods' approval, the King was conceived half man half god. The great men
of old, the men of renown, the God Kings. The abilities of the Gods passed
through their bloodline in their offspring. The blood was the human link to
the Gods, and hence the importance of the Kings, and their need to be
protected. The King's bloodline was the people's only link to the Gods, once
they left. These teaching have been forgotten by most of today's monarchies,
though they are of The Bloodline. The Bloodline of the Grail was renewed in
it's resolve with the Hebrew nation, through the Holy Mother, and then
through the Francs. Because the true Grail was used by the Gods to renew
their lives, and their blood, the Kingly Bloodline came to be synonymous
with the symbolism of the Grail. The Bloodline and the Grail are one in a
symbolic way.

G P1, P2, and their branch organizations are protectors of the Grail, the
Holy Bloodline, and mankind's history, as well as agencies for the
furtherance of our(the Bloodline's) goals. P2 has the added charge of
preserving the Faith.

I hope this answers some of your questions.

Quite the book. First are some excerpts then the entire context. (Chapter 1)
Om
K
--(1)--
Anti-Semitism is not merely the joy of hating: it brines positive pleasures
too. By treating the Jew as an inferior and pernicious being, I affirm at the
same time that I belong to the elite. This elite, in contrast to those of
modern times which are based on merit or labor, closely resembles an
aristocracy of birth. There is nothing I have to do to merit my superiority,
and neither can I lose it. It is given once and for all. It is a thing.
=
In this sense anti-Semitism is, in a democracy, a covert form
of what is called the struggle of the citizen against authority. Question any
one of those turbulent young men who placidly break the law and band together
to beat up a Jew in a deserted street: He will tell you that he wants a strong
authority to take from him the crushing responsibility of thinking for
himself. Since the Republic is weak, he is led to break the law out of love of
obedience. But is it really strong authority that he wishes? In reality he
demands rigorous order for others, and for himself disorder without
responsibility.
=
We begin to understand that anti-Semitism is more than a mere "opinion" about
the Jews and that it involves the entire personality of the anti-Semite. But
we have not yet finished with him, for he does not confine himself to
furnishing moral and political directives: he has a method of thought and a
conception of the world all his own. In fact, we cannot state what he affirms
without implicit reference to certain intellectual principles.
=
Facile talkers speak of a Jewish will to dominate the world. Here again, if we
did not have the key, the manifestations of this will would certainly be
unintelligible to us. We are told in almost the same breath that behind the
Jew lurks international capitalism and the imperialism of the trusts and the
munitions makers, and that he is the front man for piratical Bolshevism with a
knife between its teeth. There is no embarrassment or hesitation about
imputing responsibility for communism to Jewish bankers, whom it would
horrify, or responsibility for capitalist imperialism to the wretched Jews who
crowd the rue des Rosiers. But everything is made clear if we renounce any
expectation from the Jew of a course of conduct that is reasonable and in
conformity with his interests, if, instead, we discern in him a metaphysical
principle that drives him to do evil under all circumstances, even though he
thereby destroy himself. This principle, one may suspect, is magical. On the
one hand, it is an essence, a substantial form, and the Jew, whatever he does,
cannot modify it, any more than fire, can keep itself from burning. On the
other hand, it is necessary in order to be able to hate the Jew--for one does
not hate natural phenomena like earthquakes and plagues of locusts--that it
also have the virtue of freedom. Only the freedom in question is carefully
limited: The Jew is free to do evil. not good; he has only as much free will
as is necessary for him to take full responsibility for the crimes of which he
is the author; he does not have enough to be able to achieve a reformation.
Strange liberty, which instead of preceding and constituting the essence?
remains subordinate to it, is only an irrational quality of it, and yet
remains liberty.

There is only one creature, to my knowledge, who is thus totally free and yet
chained to evil; that is the Spirit of Evil himself, Satan. Thus the Jew is
assimilable to the spirit of evil. His will, unlike the Kantian will, is one
which wills itself purely, gratuitously, and universally to be evil. It is the
will to evil. Through him Evil arrives on the earth. All that is bad in
society (crises, wars, famines, upheavals, and revolts) is directly or
indirectly imputable to him. The anti-Semite is afraid of discovering that the
world is ill-contrived, for then it would be necessary for him to invent and
modify, with the result that man would be found to be the master of his own
destinies, burdened with an agonizing and infinite responsibility. Thus he
localizes all the evil of the universe in the Jew. If nations war with each
other, the conflict does not arise from the fact that the idea of nationality,
in its present form, implies imperialism and the clash of interests. No, it is
because the Jew is there? behind the governments, breathing discord. If there
is a class struggle, it is not because the economic organization leaves
something to be desired: It is because Jewish demagogues, hook-nosed
agitators, have seduced the workers.

We must not confuse this precedence the anti-Semite enjoys by virtue of his
principles with individual merit. The anti-Semite is not too anxious to
possess individual merit. Merit has to be sought, just like truth; it is
discovered with difficulty; one must deserve it. Once acquired, it is
perpetually in question: a false step, an error, and it flies away. Without
respite, from the beginning of our lives to the end, we are responsible for
what merit we enjoy. Now the anti-Semite flees responsibility as he flees his
own consciousness, and choosing for his personality the permanence of rock, he
chooses for his morality a scale of petrified values. Whatever he does, he
knows that he will remain at the top of the ladder; whatever the Jew does, he
will never get any higher than the first rung.

We begin to perceive the meaning of the anti-Semite's choice of himself. He
chooses the irremediable out of fear of being free; he chooses mediocrity out
of fear of being alone, and out of pride he makes of this irremediable
mediocrity a rigid aristocracy. To this end he finds the existence of the Jew
absolutely necessary. Otherwise to whom would he be superior? Indeed, it is
vis-a-vis the Jew and the Jew alone that the anti-Semite realizes that he has
rights. If by some miracle all the Jews were exterminated as he wishes, he
would find himself nothing but a concierge or a shopkeeper in a strongly
hierarchical society in which the quality of "true Frenchman" would be at a
low valuation, because everyone would possess it. He would lose his sense of
rights over the country because no one would any longer contest them, and that
profound equality which brings him close to the nobleman and the man of wealth
would disappear all of a sudden, for it is primarily negative. His
frustrations, which he has attributed to the disloyal competition of the Jew,
would have to be imputed to some other cause, lest he be forced to look within
himself. He would run the risk of falling into bitterness, into a melancholy
hatred of the privileged classes. Thus the anti-Semite is in the unhappy
position of having a vital need for the very enemy he wishes to destroy.

The equalitarianism that the anti-Semite seeks with so much ardor has nothing
in common with that equality inscribed in the creed of the democracies. The
latter is to be realized in a society that is economically hier archical, and
is to remain compatible with a diversity of functions. But it is in protest
against the hierarchy of
functions that the anti-Semite asserts the equality of Aryans. He does not
understand anything about the division of labor and doesn't care about it.
From his
point of view each citizen can claim the title of Frenchman, not because he
co-operates, in his place or in his occupation, with others in the economic,
social, and
cultural life of the nation, but because he has, in the same way as everybody
else, an imprescriptible and inborn right to the indivisible totality of the
country. Thus the society that the anti-Semite conceives of is a society of
juxtaposition one can very well imagine, since his ideal of property is that
of real and basic property. Since, in point of fact, anti-Semites are
numerous, each of them does his part in constituting a community based on
mechanical solidarity in the heart of organized society.

The degree of integration of each anti-Semite with this society, as well as
the degree of his equality, is fixed by what I shall call the temperature of
the community. Proust has shown, for example, how anti-Semitism brought the
duke closer to his coachman, how, thanks to their hatred of Dreyfus, bourgeois
families forced the doors of the aristocracy. The equalitarian society that
the anti-Semite believes in is like that of mobs or those instantaneous
societies which come into being at a Iynching or during a scandal. Equality in
them is the product of the non-differentiation of functions. The social bond
is anger; the collectivity has no other goal than to exercise over certain
individuals a diffused repressive sanction. Collective impulsions and stereo
types are imposed on individuals all the more strongly because none of them is
defended by any specialized function. Thus the person is drowned in the crowd,
and the ways of thinking and reacting of the group are of a purely primitive
type. Of course, such collectivities do not spring solely from anti-Semitism;
an uprising, a crime, an injustice can cause them to break out suddenly. But
those are ephemeral formations which soon vanish without leaving any trace.

I do agree that innocent people will be injured and killed in addition to

[CTRL] Some Thought on Iraq

1998-12-17 Thread Hilary Thomas

 -Caveat Lector-

Some thoughts on Iraq:

1)  Because Saddam has a tendency to lop off weapons at anyone including his
own citizens his "toys" need to be taken away from him.  He's been a very
bad boy.  Therefore, intervention is needed.  However, bombing installations
is probably not the best approach.  If containment of these weapons is truly
the goal then bombing them is not very wise.  "Clean up" of biological and
chemical weapons and their components is a  painstaking procedure and one
where certain control mechanisms need to be in place for safety.  Unless the
dropped bombs and resulting fires completely incinerate these items there
could be contamination problems galore - not to mention digging through tons
of debris to get to the components.

2)  During Desert Storm there was little or no talk about "eliminating"
Saddam.  There is an international agreement that one leader does not design
plans, at least overtly, to assassinate another leader.  Yet, in the CNN
coverage last night there was amble chatting about doing preciously this.  I
found this turn-about rather interesting.  Saddam has been such a pain in
the butt over the past years that somehow it is now acceptable for world
leaders to opening discuss "taking him out" and dismantling his "evil
regime."

3)  The peoples of Iraq face the same dilemma that Americans do - removing a
unfit leader (some believe his is unfit) from office.  Each of our peoples
are presented with problems in doing just that.  Though considering the
growing number of corpses surrounding the Clinton Administration I suspect
that these problems that one could encounter are very similar indeed.

President Clinton launched the attack to cripple Saddam's WMD capability.
Saddam had placed so many restrictions on UNSCOM that UNSCOM left Iraq.
Therefore, there was no longer any surveillance of Saddam's WMD development
status.  However, the final UNSCOM report stated that Iraq was proceeding as
fast as it could given the presence of UNSCOM.  Since Iraq could develop a
serious arsenal in just a few months, President Clinton had to move fairly

  This is the first time we have seen a major prolonged attack on a
  sovereign nation who was not already attacking somebody else. We have lost
  control of our country, and you don't have to look into shadowy, mysterious
  organizations to see who now runs it. It's on your TV every hour, 24 hours
  a day when an event like this is on --- those working with AIPAC, the evil
  B'nai B'rith, and the Isreali lobby. It's now out in the open for everyone
  to see. It is necessary that we have a Christian, dignified, but vigorous
  attitude as we move to take back our country like the Catholic Church in
  the Middle Ages, and not fall for unjust reactions to unjust aggression
  such as was overseen by the evil Adolph Hitler -- who really has turned out
  to be the best propaganda weapon that anti-Christ Jewry ever had.

First, I'm glad that you're not an anti-Semite.

Have you been asleep for the past forty years?  We attacked North Vietnam
before their North Vietnamese troops went into south.  Of course, "South
Vietnam" was merely an invention to keep the Vietnamese from governing
themselves but that's another story.

We invaded Panama making 20,000 homeless.  What country were the Panamanians
attacking?  We invaded Grenada.  We bombed Libya.  We put together terrorist
groups to attack Nicaragua and ferried them about for this purpose not to
mention mining the national harbor.  Would overthrowing democratically elected
governments in Iran, Guatemala, and Chile count?

 Just as I thought, you can't name anything he's done for the United
States.  Your position has no reasons to support Clinton other than he is a
Democrat.
