[CTRL] Economic Government by Robert Klassen
-Caveat Lector- Copyright © 1998 by the Economic Government Group. Permission to copy is granted provided credit is given. Economic Government by Robert Klassen Copyright © 1998 Robert Klassen Recently I had a very long-winded discussion with my sister's friend Alicia Travest on the subject of economic government. Alicia is a skeptical person who neither likes me nor trusts me, plus she is a well educated and intelligent person who enjoys asking insightful and difficult questions, so I decided that this whole conversation needed to be written down and saved for posterity. For the sake of brevity, Alicia will be A and I will be B. A: Okay, mister, what is this? I've heard of economics and I've heard of politics and I've heard of political-economy, but I've never heard of economic government. B: Relax. I'll tell you about it. I coined the phrase - economic government - deliberately in order to clearly contrast it with what we have now, which I call political government. A: Wait a minute, you made this up? B: Yes, I put the two words side by side. A: Have you got a degree in economics or political-science? B: I haven't got a degree in anything. A: Then by what right ... B: The same right every person has to learn and to think and to arrive at conclusions. A: How long have you been studying this? B: Since I read Civil Disobedience at the age of ten in 1950. A: Who wrote that? B: Henry David Thoreau, in 1849. The essay begins: "I heartily accept the motto, 'That government is best which governs least'; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it amounts to this, which also I believe - 'That government is best which governs not at all'; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have." A: So are you saying that economic government is no government at all? B: No. Thoreau was using the word govern in the sense of rule by authority. He did not like the idea of being ruled by anybody other than himself and he refused to acknowledge the authority of the state. However, govern also means to exercise influence, which is not the same thing as ruling by threat, command, or demand. It is in this sense that I am using the word government. A: So by attaching your use of the word to economics, you are implying that economics can somehow exercise influence over what? B: Human behavior. The purpose of economic government is to provide absolute security and justice to individuals without the use of coercion. A: What do you mean by coercion? B: Any attempted intentional interference with property. A: You mean force, right? So you're going to influence human behavior without the threat of force? You're crazier than I thought. Force is the only way to keep people in line. B: So when you move to a job that pays twice as much, somebody forced you to do it? A: No, no, you know what I mean. B: You act on your self-interest, right? Nobody has to force you to do that, right? A: So what? What about muggers and rapists and thieves and killers and all those people? What do you do with them? B: Life will become very unpleasant for them in this system. In fact, I don't believe they will be able to carry out a coercive act and survive. As the news gets around, I do believe this kind of behavior will become rare, indeed. In economic government, coercers will pay for their crimes. A: I don't like the way you said that and I definitely don't like the grin on your face. Okay, let's get down to business, what is this economic government of yours? B: It consists of three interrelated human institutions that do not exist at the moment. First, and most important, is an Innovation Clearing-House, second is Banking, and third is Insurance. A: Who are you trying to kid, here? Banking and insurance have been around forever. B: Banking and insurance have been around in rudimentary form, but their function has never been extended as it ought to be. In fact, such extensions are most likely illegal under political government. A: Illegal, you say? Now you've got me interested. Like what, for instance? B: How about venture-capital insurance? A: Like you bet your money on a risky venture and loose your shirt and the insurance company picks up the tab. Right? B: Right. Then there's marriage insurance and contract insurance and innovation insurance... A: There you go with that innovation business again. What's wrong with patents and copyrights? B: Patents are expensive and difficult to get; then, if they are worth anything, even more expensive and difficult to protect. Patents also discourage innovation and competition. Copyrights are cheap and easy to get, all you have to do is write the word on the page, but are also expensive and difficult to protect. And both have time limits. A: I suppose you have something better? B: Yes, the Innovation
[CTRL] STUPID NUCLEAR LAB TRICKS (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- From: Nealz Nuze http://www.boortz.com/nealznuz.htm July 26,1999 STUPID NUCLEAR LAB TRICKS Sandia Nuclear Laboratory officials will soon have to explain to Congress how, 10 months ago, they sold a $9 million surplus supercomputer for $30,000 to a Chinese exporter who specializes in funneling high-tech goodies to Beijing. Sandia officials are now scrambling to buy the computer back from Korber Jiang, offering to pay him $2.5 million. Said one Washington official, "Sandia is in full farcical 'cover-your-a** mode. They are still praying they can get the damn thing back without anyone noticing in Congress--and of course they are anxious Beijing will get hold of it." Leaked classified reports indicate the supercomputer had been modified to include "some of the U.S.'s most leading-edge interconnect and computer technology -- it has an operating system that has been tuned and enhanced by Sandia for a number of important national-security missions." How did the government find out about this? Korber contacted Intel Corp., the maker of the computer, to ask about parts needed to get the machine up and running. Sandia officials sold the computer to Korber in pieces, assuming it would just be used for spare parts and scrapped. They never checked Korber's background since he'd submitted the best bid. What's worse, the system's hard drive apparently was not wiped. U.S. nuclear secrets may have been stored on the drive. It's really quite heartening to know that our country's nuclear secrets are in such responsible hands. And to think I had such a mistrust of government.

-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sun, 25 Jul 1999 19:40:41 -0700 From: DRUDGE REPORT, SUNDAY, JULY 25, 1999 21:42:21 ET PAPER: INDIA, PAKISTAN WERE AT BRINK OF NUCLEAR WAR The full dimensions of the recent crisis between India and Pakistan over Kashmir are only now coming to light, the WASHINGTON POST is set to report on Monday. According to publishing sources, the paper is set to quote senior Clinton administration officials: the latest conflict over Kashmir came much closer to full-scale war than was publicly acknowledged at the time and raised very real fears that one or both countries would resort to using variants of the nuclear devices each tested last year. The POST'S John Lancaster quotes a senior administration official close to the action: "This is one of the most dangerous situations on the face of the earth... It was very, very easy to imagine how this crisis... could have escalated out of control, including in a way that could have brought in nuclear weapons, without either party consciously deciding that it wanted to go to nuclear war." The tension piqued two months ago as Pakistani and Indian forces intensified their fighting over the province of Kashmir -- which both sides claim as their own. "India, it seemed, was preparing to invade its neighbor." According to the paper, "President Clinton helped avert that prospect during his widely reported Independence Day meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who agreed after hours of tense discussions to withdraw the forces that had triggered the flare-up in early May." Even U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott left the Hamptons vacation scene to stop the potential annihilation. = Kaddish, Kaddish, Kaddish, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] No News is-- (Who Reads Anyway?)
-Caveat Lector- Don't Hold the Presses John Bryan SF Weekly, July 21-27, 1999 On Sunday, July 18, many San Franciscans were probably a bit surprised to learn that John F. Kennedy Jr. had apparently died under mysterious circumstances in a plane crash off the coast of Massachusetts. These good, trusting souls had not recently watched television or listened to radio. They had put their trust in [the city's major daily newspaper] the San Francisco Examiner as a reliable source of major news. The "Four Star" Saturday Examiner contained not a single word about the death of JFK Jr., even though NBC broke the story at 5 a.m. on Saturday, and at least one newsroom television set was tuned to the local NBC affiliate. Shortly thereafter, the Examiner received a "First Alert" from the Associated Press notifying them that a major story was rapidly forthcoming, two AP staffers say. (Transmissions into the Ex[aminer] come through satellite dishes; translating these signals into type takes less than five minutes.) At about 5:30 a.m., AP sent a bulletin announcing the mysterious loss of the son and namesake of the Democratic president assassinated in Dallas in 1963. AP then moved the JFK Jr. story one paragraph at a time, as is the wire service's custom. The Examiner had the complete first story on hand by 5:35 a.m., AP staffers say. As part of the publishing process, "paste-ups" of the pages of the Examiner are laser-scanned and the digitized result is sent by satellite to printing plants, in this case to the [joint] Examiner-Chronicle plant on Army Street. Official Examiner logs show that Page 1 of the Saturday "Four Star" was completed at 6:42 a.m. --well after an authoritative story on JFK Jr.'s disappearance was available-- and immediately transmitted to the Army Street plant, where pressmen printed the edition. It hit the streets sometime after 7 a.m. The issue contained not a single word about the Kennedy tragedy. Because of the relationship between the Chronicle and Examiner --they are in a Joint Operating Agreement, or JOA, meaning they have separate news operations, but combine their business efforts-- the usual 12-hour news cycle occupied by an afternoon paper is considerably longer on weekends in San Francisco. There are four papers printed by the Chronicle and Examiner on a standard weekend. The "Four Star" Saturday Examiner contained not a single word about the death of JFK Jr., even though NBC broke the story at 5 a.m. on Saturday. The Chronicle distributes a Saturday paper, normally printed shortly after midnight Friday. The Examiner publishes an early "bulldog" edition of its Sunday paper that is distributed on Saturday; this fat paper also is printed shortly after midnight Friday, and generally contains many timeless feature stories and little "breaking" news. The only "fresh" paper on the streets from about 7 a.m. Saturday until about 7 a.m. Sunday, then, is the Examiner's Saturday "Four Star." The Saturday morning Chronicle went to camera about 1 a.m. and contained no word of the Kennedy plane crash, which apparently occurred about 7 p.m. Friday night, West Coast time, but was not confirmed and reported by news media until some 10 hours later. The Examiner's Sunday "bulldog" edition, put out late Friday night, contained not a word about JFK Jr.'s mysterious disappearance, which had yet to be generally reported by national news media. The official search for the airplane began at 12:30 a.m. Saturday. At about 2 a.m., President Clinton had been notified and the Air Force Civil Air Patrol joined the search. Clinton called the Kennedy compound near Martha's Vineyard to offer his help and sympathy at about 4 a.m. Washington newspapermen were aware of these activities. And the JFK disappearance hit television and the major wires shortly after 5 a.m. Saturday. Why did the Saturday Examiner fail to report a single word about the disappearance of JFK Jr. -- a huge story by any reckoning? Examiner Executive Editor Phil Bronstein says that by the time AP's bulletin reporting Kennedy's missing plane arrived in the newsroom it was too late for the lone makeup editor on duty to do anything with the news. The front pages of Saturday's Ex --one for home delivery editions, the other for street sales-- had been finished and moved to the production department by 3:30 a.m., Bronstein says. The makeup editor on duty saw the Kennedy bulletin when it arrived, Bronstein says, but it was too late to push a new front page through production and get it to the printing plant in time. " think it's safe to say it would have been impossible, certainly virtually impossible, to get anything in the paper," Bronstein says. Saturday deadlines are earlier than weekdays, he notes, and the Ex is best able to react to breaking news when it has some inkling that a story will be developing late -- such as the jury
[CTRL] Demo Machine Politics -- Clintonitis Everywhere
-Caveat Lector- You think the Clinton Administration is unique for its corruption? You think wrong. It's exactly the same LOCALLY, in ANY place controlled by a "Democrat machine." (You think the Nixon-Reagan-Bush Administration was unique for its corruption? Ditto what I've just said, in ANY place controlled by a ":Republican machine.") The problem with politics is "politics," and the "politicians" who breed within it. Hey, It's Only the FBI John Mecklin SF Weekly, July 21-27, 1999 Because San Francisco's daily newspapers so seldom employ significant resources to investigate anything that might produce any story that might offend anyone of any conceivable influence anywhere in the Bay Area (or Northern California, really), it's worth noting when real journalism does show up. If you missed the [San Francisco] Examiner's June 27 package on Charlie Walker, the so-called Mayor of Hunters Point, you ought to trot down to the library and settle down to a good, unsettling, realistic read. The main story in the package, headlined "FBI scrutinizes mayor's contractor pal," reports that federal agents have been questioning the locals about how Walker has managed to land large trucking subcontracts at San Francisco International Airport since Mayor Willie Brown took office. But this is much more than a story about a governmental investigation. Based on what appears to have been exhaustive research, Examiner reporters Chuck Finnie and Lance Williams describe a series of city-related deals from which Walker, a friend and former law client of Brown, apparently has profited handsomely. Exhibit A: Walker reportedly was convicted in 1984 of grand theft, attempted extortion, perjury, and tax evasion for bilking the city's minority-contracting programs -- and now, according to the Examiner report, his trucking firm has been certified to participate in the same programs he once (as the Examiner so politely terms it) abused. Among the many interestingly unsavory deals mentioned in the Examiner report is one involving the Lennar Corp., which won the rights to develop the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard earlier this year. Before the Redevelopment Commission awarded those potentially (amazingly) lucrative rights, Lennar just happened to hire one of Walker's firms as a "jobs broker." The commission voted to give Lennar the rights, even though a consultant had recommended another firm get the deal. And then-Redevelopment Commission President Lynette Sweet, treasurer of a nonprofit connected to Walker, was one of the commissioners voting to give the contract to Lennar. (The vote was 4-3, so Sweet's "aye" seems really to have been on the ball.) My motives for praising the Examiner are not entirely unmixed. Energetic readers might combine its findings about the Hunters Point deal with a few facts contained in a piece the Weekly published on May 12, and teach themselves something about how this city REALLY works. Must one hire "friends" of Willie Brown to qualify for major city contracts? The Weekly story (headlined "W.L. Brown: A Public/Private Partnership" and co-authored by staff writer Peter Byrne and me) focuses on a 1,000-acre golf course development north of Sacramento known as Whitney Oaks. The majority owner of Whitney Oaks is the state public employees retirement system. But a partnership in which Willie Brown has long held a stake is also an owner. And one of the firms paying millions of dollars to the owners of Whitney Oaks (including Willie Brown associates) for the right to build out a section of Whitney Oaks is --drum roll please-- Renaissance Homes, a subsidiary of the Lennar Corp. Taken together, these two stories raise several questions with heavily documented specificity: Must one hire "friends" of Willie Brown to qualify for major city contracts? Hire Willie's friends AND do business with his associates (and perhaps Willie himself)? Or could the exceedingly strong appearance that obtaining city contracts requires relations with mayoral friends and/or associates be merely that, an (amazingly) unfortunate appearance? The questions are out there. The Examiner has established beyond any reasonable doubt that the FBI is investigating. And here it is weeks later, and not a word in the [OTHER local daily, the San Francisco] Chronicle about anything so frivolous and declasse as a serious federal investigation of City Hall. What You Get When You Cross "Night of the Living Dead" With "Being There" George Cothran SF Weekly, July 21-27, 1999 So I read in the papers that people are really going to run Frank Jordan for mayor, which just confirms something I've long suspected about this town: When it comes to political leadership, San Francisco is like that small, cursed town in "Night of the Living Dead." We're damned with some form of radiation that reanimates political

[CTRL] Beijing stakes out territory while Clinton commits treason (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 26 Jul 1999 08:45:02 -0700 From: http://www.newaus.com.au/peter.html Beijing stakes out territory while Clinton commits treason No. 127, 26 July - 1 Aug. 1999 Beijing's angry response to Lee Teng-hui's declaration of independence for Taiwan was as predictable as Clinton's support for Beijing's bully-boy tactics. Think about it: The world's most powerful democracy and the only country in history to be literally born out of a set of principles based on the universal and inalienable rights of every human being kow towed to Beijing, the world's most powerful dictatorship. A country born out of liberty and the right of self-determination sides with glorified warlords against a democratic people who only demand for themselves what Americans rightly consider to be God-given rights. This is a gross betrayal of the fundamental beliefs upon which the American Republic rests and that is why Clinton is once again guilty of treason. Please, do not get me wrong. I am not suggesting that the American government should commit troops to the defence of Taiwan that is for Americans to decide only that no American president should side with tyranny against liberty, which is what Clinton is doing. I will go even further and state that no American government has the moral authority to deny any democracy the right to defend itself by purchasing weapons from American arms manufacturers. The right to defend one's liberty does not lapse at some American port let alone some Beijing-sponsored Clinton fund-raiser. In a show of shameless political obeisance that is even remarkable for Clinton, he publicly admitted that he had personally told Jiang Zemin on the phone that he opposed Taiwan's move to secure its liberty and was urging it to toe Beijing's line. As if to demonstrate his loyalty he went so far as to even publicly humiliate Lee Teng-hui, Taiwan's President. Sources have strongly intimated that Clinton promised Jiang that despite the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act which would allow the island the necessary assistance to defend itself he would do whatever was possible to circumvent the Act, and that he would make Lee Teng-hui aware of this fact. In addition, it is believed that certain Taipei officials have complained bitterly about the role that Kenneth Lieberthal, the National Security Council's chief China specialist, played in the affair. Lieberthal's pro-Beijing sympathies are so strong that Taipei officials consider him to be nothing but Beijing's catspaw. It was this behind the scenes pressure (or should I say treachery?) that 'persuaded' Lee Teng-hui to backpedal on Taiwan's right to independence. (No wonder Jiang reckons he got a bargain.) Compare Clinton's cowardly surrender to Jiang with Eisenhower's resolve when Mao threatened Taiwan (or Formosa as it was then known) in the mid-1950s and it will give you some idea of the extent to which moral courage has collapsed in the White House. In those days the world knew America would stand by its allies. Not under Clinton. No one should be surprised by Clinton's betrayal of a staunch American ally. On his Beijing visit, little more than a year ago, Clinton, at the prompting of Jiang Zemin, publicly announced that 20 million Taiwanese had no right to independence, meaning their liberty. As one Taiwanese official ruefully said: "We should have offered Clinton a bigger bribe than Beijing." (Readers will probably still be shocked to learn that there is probably not a single Asian government that does not believe Clinton sold the Oval Office to China). Americans should not make the mistake of thinking that the Taiwan incident is irrelevant to their security quite the opposite. I have stressed several times that Clinton's actions have only served to strengthen the aggressive hand of China's nationalists while weakening the influence of reform-minded forces within the regime. Make no mistake: China sees itself as a Pacific power and the US as its only real long-term military rival in the region. Therefore it intends to eventually purge the region east of Hawaii of any US military presence. This would virtually eliminate the US as a Pacific power, basically confining its military influence to its western seaboard. By convincing Asian countries that China has no territorial ambitions and that America is an unreliable if not treacherous1 ally Beijing hopes to wean these nations away from America and thus fatally weaken its political and military influence in the region. Taiwan could turn out to be a watershed in this strategy by demonstrating to Asian countries that an American president is perfectly prepared to sacrifice an ally to serve his own political ambitions. Moreover, by publicly undermining American commitments to Taiwan Clinton might have encouraged the PLA's more reckless generals to propose a blockade of the island if not an actual assault.

Re: [CTRL] LAWLESSNESS AT THE WHITE HOUSE (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Ya know...did anyone notice the scariest part of this article? Tucked away in an appendix to this report: the news that about half of all IRS criminal investigations result from information provided by "other government sources." I would think that a whole hell-of-a-lot of law breaking is going on in this aspect alone, and that this is at least as relevant and important to investigate and report on. This report covers the period 1990 to 1996. The figure in the .pdf version, sadly of course, doesn't break it down to specific agency (like WH, etc.). On Sun, 25 Jul 1999, MICHAEL SPITZER wrote: LAWLESSNESS AT THE WHITE HOUSE Editorial By Marvin Lee Recent weeks have yielded unambiguous evidence of crime and abuse of power in the White House. Yet nobody seems to care. First, Judicial Watch unearthed a Treasury report that reveals that the White House orchestrated a politically motivated IRS audit of its client, the Western Journalism Center. The Western Journalism Center has been a long-time critic of the White House. In response to a newspaper ad revealing the botched official investigation into the death of Vince Foster, a California man, Paul Venze, submitted a letter to the White House questioning the tax-exempt status of the organization. The letter was clearly political in nature, otherwise Venze would have submitted it to the IRS. Yet the White House added its clout and power to the letter by forwarding it to the IRS where it received instant priority. An excruciating audit of Joe Farah and his Western Journalism Center ensued. This is a blatant political abuse of the powers of harassment and intimidation of the IRS by the White House, and it is no surprise that the government for three years has tried to keep the documentary evidence of this crime from the Joe Farah and his legal counsel Larry Klayman. Yet, apart from the Wall Street Journal, this super-Nixonian abuse of power has received hardly a mention in the national media. Second is the July 9 testimony by Johnny Chung that his $50,000 donation to Hillary Clinton at the White House was in return for a "wish list" and was directly solicited by aides of the First Lady to repay debts she had at the DNC. Among the items on the "wish list," or quid pro quo, was a visit to the White House Mess -- a wish that was immediately granted. When one of the requests of the wish list, a meeting with the President, was not immediately granted, Mr. Chung complained and he received the goods he had paid for. There cannot be any more obvious evidence of a quid pro quo than that. This is a clear violation of several statutes -- including prohibitions against taking bribes at the White House -- and a selling of tickets to the White House Mess, which is funded by taxpayers. Most troubling of all are the at least four groups monitored by the FBI in their attempt to physically harm Johnny Chung or his family at the time he was a witness against the President and the DNC. Two of the groups where from China and it is reasonable to assume that they were sent by Chinese intelligence. But one incident involved an Italian-American. Now, if he wasn't sent by the Chinese, then who could have sent him? What U.S. interest could have wanted this witness silent? Perhaps the answer lies in Chung's testimony that the day after the FBI traced the license plate of the Italian-American, the Justice Department removed the FBI from the protection of Chung as a witness. And one of the Chinese agents relaying threats to Chung, Robert Luu, claimed that he was close to the "number three man" at the Justice Department. Johnny Chung in his testimony to Judicial Watch also relayed how he sensed that government investigators had no interest in the evidence of crime that he gave them. It is obvious that we would not have reached the current state of lawlessness had it not been for the active cooperation of the Department of Justice and the mainstream media. Does it come as any surprise that Justice Department announced last week that the suspected Los Alamos nuclear secrets spy, Wen Ho Lee, may not be tried for espionage? None of the other suspected spies have been tried for espionage. In any banana republic or third world nation, the people would not have accepted such blatant corruption. Resignations would have been the only outcome. Yet the American people, having slowly been adapted by the media to a state of lawlessness at the White House, no longer have any threshold for outrage. They no longer care.

The plane was a glider. July 13, 1999, near the same airport, 119W46, 38N57, at about 12:12pm PST, the director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, Donald Engen, 75, died in the crash of a two-seat Nimbus 4DM motorized glider. Engen had been the FAA chief under Reagan and a two-year member of the NTSB. Engen retired from the USN, as a Vice Admiral, in 1978. Engen was a passenger in the Nimbus which was piloted by his close friend Bill Ivans, 79. Ivans was Honorary Chairman of the Soaring Society of America. The Nimbus 4DM is a motorized self-launching sail plane. Early wire reports described the aircraft as inexplicably disintegrating in the air at 11,000 feet. This was revised to 5000 feet in later reports. The Nimbus is a very sturdy and well-built aircraft -- its mysterious and sudden disintegration in midair is difficult to explain.. The Nimbus crashed in the Carson Valley near Powerline Road about five miles southeast of the Minden-Tahoe Airport. Both men aboard were killed. Douglas County Sheriff Ron Pierini made announcements regarding the crash and the identities of the victims. Thirteen days later, JFK Junior, his wife and her sister, died in a mysterious plane crash west of Martha's Vineyard at approximately 70W57, 41N17, July 16, 1999, time 8:40pm EST. The crash horoscope is astounding and suggests supernatural activity. It has been reported that some witnesses saw a brilliant white flash in the air at the time of the crash. Following recovery the three victims' bodies were immediately cremated. Only the feds have seen the plane's recovered remains. The point on the map midway between the Minden glider crash and the JFK Jr. crash 95W22, 40N07, falls at Bigelow, Mo., near White Cloud and Brown Co. (Kansas). The "L" refers to the region on the map of northwestern Nevada which is west of the JFK Jr. crash and north of the Minden, Nevada, glider crash. The place names there include Washoe Co., Granite Range, Nevada. This mysterious method of communication has been evident for many years. It is the bane of federal liars and their corporate lackeys.

[CTRL] Y2K a picnic for criminals? Notorious con says it's the talk of the joint (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- From: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_bresnahan/19990726_xex_y2k_picnic_c.shtml MONDAY JULY 26 1999 -- WND Exclusive -- PANIC IN THE YEAR ZERO Y2K a picnic for criminals? Notorious con says it's the talk of the joint -- By David M. Bresnahan © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com Y2K disruptions of power and telephone service will provide amateur and professional criminals the opportunity of a lifetime, according to a notorious convict who candidly admitted every bad guy will be eagerly waiting for the new year to begin. "I'd hit banks, jewelry stores, electronics stores, anyplace with high-ticket items," Bill Wasz told WorldNetDaily in a rare phone call from prison. He was asked what he would do on New Year's Eve 2000 if he were a free man and still committing crimes. Wasz added he has found religion and changed his life and would not engage in crimes any longer. He said the potential for Y2K disruptions would be a huge temptation for every criminal on the streets. He said all the alarms will be off, and the police will have trouble responding to the many disturbances. Wasz cautioned that professional criminals are hard at work right now making their plans for major robberies if the Y2K bug causes disruptions. "You should hear them talk in here," said Wasz of the Y2K conversations he has had with some of the nation's most dangerous criminals. "If it gets as bad as they say it will be really crazy out there," he added. Wasz is an inmate in one of the highest security prisons in America. He was the subject of a series of WorldNetDaily articles dealing with his claim that he was hired to kill Nicole Brown Simpson. His life of violent and drug related crimes led to his eventual arrest and imprisonment in the Calipatria State Prison in California. People in their homes would not be the target of professional criminals like Wasz, but they should be concerned about amateur crooks trying to make a quick hit while the lights are out. "I'd stay as far from people's homes as I could get," he explained. "It's too much of a gamble. If you hit houses at random you don't know if you'll find anything of value, and you are likely to find someone with a gun scared to death on the other side of the door." He did say that many inexperienced crooks might break into homes, but he was certain that professional criminals would go after the biggest prize they could find. Wasz admits to many bank robberies and crimes when he was working on his own and as a gangster for hire. His life of crime began when he drove a front loader through the window of a super market in Manasas, Va., about 15 years ago. He took the entire safe containing thousands in cash, and got away to Las Vegas where his life of crime blossomed. The Y2K computer bug is a major concern to Wasz and his fellow prisoners for another reason. No information has been provided to inmates regarding preparations at the prison to deal with Y2K issues. Rumors are circulating that they will be locked in their cells for days prior to the turn of the century. They also believe that if disruptions do occur, prison food will run out quickly. The state of Michigan has listed problems with security in prisons as a major concern in their Year 2000 Toolkit issued to all state and local officials in that state. The 65-page document warns of possible prison escapes unless jail cells are locked manually. Computerized lock down facilities are to have all computer controls disabled prior to the new year. Jack M. Drown, undersheriff of San Diego County, also expects additional crime at the start of the new year. "The department is currently preparing for contingencies associated with New Year 2000. As you know, certain automated or computer-driven systems and services may be subject to interruption. If significant interruptions do occur, it is possible there may be adverse public reactions. Additionally, New Year 2000 will undoubtedly be a time of heightened general police activity," Drown told his deputies in a recent internal memo made available to WorldNetDaily. All vacations before and just after the new year have been canceled by Drown. Other government agencies at all levels have been reported to be taking similar action in anticipation of civil unrest and an increase in crime. Wasz is presently in a special isolation section of the Calipatria State Prison in California serving a 30-year sentence for crimes unrelated to the Simpson case. He was placed in isolation recently because of a prison fight he was involved in. He has been denied access to his personal belongings, and he is not able to make phone calls or write letters with rare exceptions. In a recent letter he expressed concern for his safety. He claims numerous attempts on his life have been made in the past, and that there are plans to transfer him to another facility where he will be in even greater danger. Wasz also claims a price was placed on his head because he

flight 800 listsofters, I sent the following email to John Quinn who has been posting on the JK crash. He always sends confirmation, which I did not recieve. Then I recieve a post that his email has been disturbed. It came through this starfriends list. As note, Michael O'Keef is the Assistant DA in Barnstable County's DA office run by Philip Rollins. He is the one who held the very early prress conference on the Vineyard saying foul play not even considered. (Dukes County -Vineyard- uses the Barnstable DA's office. The post that I recieved from starfriends vanished after I read it, it is in no files, or trash. I have seen this before. I just tried to repost. System administration came back with John Quinn's address being 'iinoperable'. I checked address carefully. Michael Donovan Norfolk, VA... (copy orig letter follows) Dear John, Looks like now you really have something! John, truly I was worried about you going down a primrose path. I have had my personal run in with Michael O'Keef. I a mailed WRENCH on September 23, 1993. I did not know what a loose cannon I was making of Bill Huogh, publisher of the Falmouth Enterprise. (see RICO case on MCF). Treasury needed a way of putting an arm around Bill. I had known Bill for some years as his WEB press printed the newspaper that I published on Martha's Vineyard. The Houghs are a newspaper family from way back. His uncle is Pulitzer winner Henry Beetle Hough who purchased the Vineyard Gazette from the Sanchez family in the 1920s. Just after WRENCH was sent out, large headlines appeared in the Dow Jone's owned Cape Cod Times, RASH OF FIRES SPREADS TERRORISM IN FALMOUTH. There were five fires set. One was almost on the doorstep of the Falmouth Enterprise. There were BATF agents all about investigating. Understand, John, that this was the next morning, just hours after the fires. They were not even classified as arson yet!. (This was all going on while I was starting up my second newspaper, this time the Cap Cod MAP. eventually shut down with heavy extortion.) So what were all the BATF agents doing about. It seemed obvious. They needed a little 'terrorism' to help put the arm around Bill Hough. Apparently, (and later very apparent), they (most likely through an intermediary) paid some kids in drugs or money to do this. Shortly thereafter three brothers, the Smith Brothers were found with bullets in their brains on the porch of a deserted hotel in Buzzards Bay. The Bourne Police ruled it a triple murder. Rollin's DA office with Michael OKeef and Detective James Cummings came in, ruled it triple suicide and closed the case in 72 hours. The Bourne Police Department went ballistic, but could do nothing. The bodies were hardly cold. No information was given out. A triple suicide of three brothers, one gun, is highly unlikely. The newspaper reports were false in some technical areas. This happened not to long before I was in the final paste up of my first edition. I was planning a 'cutsie' non controversial tourist newspaper maps. Then they started extorting my client base even before I came out. I changed it in the middle of the final paste up and came out with a strong attack against the DA's office over this. I still have extra copies of that old paper, Johnl, if you want one. Just send me your postal address. I later had a number of strong run ins with Michael O'Keef. I attempted, as it was my right under Mass law, to file a brief in open court. I was blocked from my rights by all kinds of shenanigans within the court system. Over this was my run in with O'Keef. The Vineyard is almost feudal. Dukes County uses the DA's office from Barnstable, Rollins. In reality, Sheriff Look is in charge of the Vineyard. Whatever he says the Barnstable DA rubber stamps. It was Sheriff Look that was a deputy sheriff out on Chappy that night with Kennedy, and many suspect him of setting TK up. Most particularly one of my old clients who was foreman of the Grand Jury then, forgot his name, name of the drugstore in Vineyard Haven. (Just remembered, Leslie's Drug Store) When I finally figured out why all the heat was on me, it was a few years later. It was regarding my parents, their espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union in 1954. I never brought this up because I thought it might muddy the waters. (I knew and kew also tht the top of media and government knew) They were caught, but never prosecuted. It would have simply been to embarrassing. But then I did bring it up in one of many letters to Criminal Division, US Attorney's Office, Boston. I saw a strong reaction in the press. Billboards, Childhood Memories Unreliable. What? I sat down and wrote the whole thing out. I managed (and may have done something illegal in the process, hope not, won't say) to find a method to get this past NSA, phone co, FBI, DoJ, or anybody in Navy into hands of some high ranking US military officers whose
[CTRL] Fwd: WND - More Arms For China - Bush Jr. Linked To Clinton Scandal
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith/19990727_xcsof_more_arms_.shtml Despite the White House spin, the truth about the "bilateral military relationship" between Clinton and China is that Ron Brown was an arms dealer and his customers were Chinese Generals. The known Chinese Generals who dealt with Brown includes the three commanding officers of the Chinese Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND), General Ding Henggao, General Shen Rougjun and General Huai Guomo. One document provided to Ron Brown by Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz just prior to meeting General Shen states "WEAPON DELIVERY, TARGET ACQUISITION AND NIGHT VISION". The Loral document is a picture filled catalog of "Mao Anniversary gift" items for the modern Chinese Army. The Loral catalog of weapons for sale included the ARMY MLRS missile, the AIM-9 Sidewinder and the Chaparral air defense missile. In addition, the Loral catalog offered the very latest in electronics from the U.S. F-16 Falcon, F-15 Eagle and the F-18 Hornet. The Loral document includes the "FLIR/Laser designator", the "F-18 FLIR", the ALQ-178 "RF Jamming" system, and the "ALR 56C" radar warning system. These Chinese Army/Brown meetings were approved by Bill Clinton. It was Bill Clinton who decided to arm China with U.S. made weapons. Since 1993, all the advanced sales and all the waivers for each export were approved by Bill Clinton. According to a 1995 letter from Motorola Chairman, Gary Tooker, it was Bill Clinton who signed the "Presidential waiver for encryption export sales to China." In 1996, Clinton transferred export oversight to the inept and ill-equipped Commerce Dept. President Clinton signed the executive order that ended 40 years of legislation designed to prevent war. The transfer also forced the paper trail for military exports to China to now end at the Commerce Dept. instead of at the Oval Office. In 1997, after the transfer of authority by Clinton, Commerce Dept. officials in Beijing clearly stated they did not track Chinese Army owned companies. Thus, the only U.S. government agency with the legal authority to stop exports had no idea what to do but say "yes". According to documents recently forced from the Clinton administration, the official "stun gun" of the Chinese Army was made in America. The red Chinese Gestapo bought secure radios made by Motorola and Chinese Army nuclear weapons design labs preferred SUN super-computers over the next leading brand. "One of the largest PLA (People's Liberation Army) affiliated firms is NORINCO," states a 1997 e-mail from Commerce official Robert Bannerman in Beijing. "Nothing is these databases indicated its affiliation. We do not maintain a formal FCS all-encompassing computer database of Chinese companies... I suggest you modify your testimony accordingly" "We also are gathering information that your may find useful regarding a company that manufactures stun-guns which requested our assistance in exporting to China," wrote Bannerman. "We discovered this company was not only selling to the PLA, but that the products were prohibited by US export control laws." In 1997, Commerce "export" control officials wrote they had no real database of Chinese Army companies. This was not true. In fact, the Commerce Dept. had a large database on Chinese Army companies, direct from General Ding Henggao at COSTIND. In 1995, Chinese General Ding Henggao gave the Commerce Dept. a long list of Chinese Army owned firms. The Commerce Dept., in return, supplied the PLA contacts to U.S. firms wanting to do business with the Chinese Army such as Loral, Hughes, and Motorola. Moreover, Clinton Commerce officials sought out U.S. military firms wishing to do business with the Chinese Army. In 1995, Commerce officials circulated a form for "U.S. COMPANIES INTERESTED IN INVESTING IN CHINESE HIGH TECHNOLOGY AND OTHER DEFENSE ENTERPRISE CONVERTING TO CIVILIAN PRODUCTION." According to the Commerce Dept. cover letter, "The government of the People's Republic of China has requested information about U.S. companies that are interest in investment opportunities in Chinese high technology and other converting defense enterprises. Companies that want to be included on this list should complete the attached form and return it... BXA plans to forward this data to the Chinese Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND)." As a result, U.S. tax dollars put together a June 1995 catalog for General Ding and the Chinese Army, titled "U.S. Industry Directory - A Directory of U.S. Businesses Interested in Defense Conversion Opportunities in the People's Republic of China." The 73 page report of U.S. defense companies represents the Clinton "bilateral military" relationship with communist China. The catalog of 58 U.S. military manufacturers includes direct contacts at Boeing, Northrop, Rockwell International, Westinghouse, Raytheon, Pratt Whitney,
[CTRL] Fwd: THE SCOOP: Jerry Springer for Senate
The Scoop - http://www.bobharris.com/ New subscribers: thanks for joining up. Yes, the column really is free, and you're encouraged to forward it to friends. That's how our readership grows. Everybody: we think we got the bugs out of the streaming video and audio on the website. Let us know, OK? Thanks! bh THE SCOOP for July 26, 1999 ___ Jerry Springer For Senate Or Rob Lowe Or Luke Perry, Whichever © 1999 Bob Harris http://www.bobharris.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ I passed Jerry Springer on the stairs in a hotel the other night. I didn't break stride. There were other people around I wanted to meet a lot more. Now I realize this may have been the closest I'll ever come to a U.S. president. ___ Last week, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that several Ohio Democratic Party leaders are lobbying for Jerry Springer to run against GOP Senator Mike DeWine in 2000. This is the sort of creative idea that political strategists normally term "thinking out of the box." Especially if the box happens to be in your ass. Let's back up. Prior to DeWine, the seat was securely in Democratic control for a generation, occupied by Howard Metzenbaum, who retired in 1994. In that year, the Democrats ran Joel Hyatt, Metzenbaum's son-in-law, who had became rich and locally famous as one of those attorneys who do TV ads in front of a bunch of books so they look all legal and everything. Hyatt lost. Big shock. However, since DeWine only got 53 percent of the vote, and Ohioans voted for Clinton twice, Democratic leaders hope that a relatively rich and famous candidate might be able do the trick in 2000. The only problem? They ain't got any. What they do have is a Columbus lawyer named Richard Corday, who is a smart guy and fine fundraiser but nonetheless ran for Ohio Attorney General last year and got the polling equivalent of a chair upside the head from the GOP's Betty Montgomery. Besides which, Corday has never once goaded a lesbian white supremacist into cross-checking a transsexual nun. Thus the job might fall to Jerry. ___ Last week, Jerry, I, half of the comedy industry, and several hundred thousand revelers all came to Montreal for the annual Just For Laughs festival, in which many of the finest comedians on Earth perform for over a week at venues throughout the city. Each night's crowning event is an all-star Gala held at the gorgeous St. Denis Theatre. For publicity's sake, the Just For Laughs folks get the biggest names they can to host the Galas, whether they have comedy experience or not. Luke Perry hosted one night. So did Rob Lowe. And so did Jerry Springer. And that's how come Jerry and I passed on the stairs in the Delta hotel. ___ I didn't know then about the Ohio Democrats' plans, and even if I had stopped to ask Jerry about his possible candidacy, he probably wouldn't have said much. "I am obviously flattered and honored by the interest," Springer said in a written statement. "I respect the seriousness of their inquiry and will respond in a timely, sincere and appropriate manner." Obviously, the man is a natural politician. In two sentences, he uses the words "honor," "respect," "serious," "sincere," and "appropriate." Which almost makes you forget it's Jerry Springer you're listening to. Almost. ___ So who is Jerry Springer, anyway? This much we know: Elected to the Cincinnati City Council in 1971, Springer later resigned in disgrace after getting caught paying for a Kentucky prostitute with a personal check. (Incidentally, forget Vegas. All the best hookers work in Kentucky.) Springer apologized, wiped off, was eventually reelected to the City Council, and ultimately became mayor of Cincinnati in 1977. However, in the 1982 Ohio gubernatiorial primary, Springer placed last among three candidates, earning only 20 percent of the vote. Thus unable to continue in what we laughingly call public service, Springer turned to the only career left that would keep him in the public eye: in 1984, he became a Cincinnati news commentator. In short order, Springer became the Tri-State area's top-ranked news anchor, receiving seven local Emmys, a raise from Mr. Carlson, and a firm handshake from Herb the sales guy. However, Jerry was sadly unable to talk Jennifer the receptionist into a three-way with Venus. (Incidentally, http://www.wlwt.com, the website for the actual station where Springer really did win seven Emmys, takes this unforgiving shot: "#1 status was enjoyed by WLWT for nearly five years until Jerry Springer began his talk show and lost his news credibility with the viewers." Sounds like they're still pissed.) Then Multimedia came knocking with an idea for a TV show ___ But what if Jerry won't or can't run for office? What will Ohio Democrats do then? I have a certain
[CTRL] TRIPARTITE COMMISSION HOLDINGS OF NAZI GOLD AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/pr97004.htm A HREF="http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/pr97004.htm" of England - Press Notice TRIPARTITE COMMI /A - TRIPARTITE COMMISSION HOLDINGS OF NAZI GOLD AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND The Bank of England has been authorised by the Tripartite Commission for the Restitution of Monetary Gold to state that it holds a total of 114,637.213 troy ounces of fine gold (=about 3,565.615 kilograms) on behalf of the Tripartite Commission. Almost all of this, 113,839.674 ounces has recently been placed on interest-bearing fixed term deposit. When the Tripartite Commissions gold was first received in the Bank many years ago, it was the Banks policy not to store specific gold for specific customers: customers were given credit for quantities of gold, not specific bars. The bars which were recently placed on deposit were not, therefore, the bars originally credited to the Tripartite Commissions account. Similarly, when the gold is retrieved from the fixed term deposit, it will not be the same bars which are returned. The origins of the gold deposited with the Bank of England on behalf of the Tripartite Commission have been described in detail in the documents published recently by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In addition to the gold mentioned above, the Bank also holds on behalf of the Tripartite Commission a further two bars, totalling some 797 ounces, which were transferred from the Deutsche Bundesbank in September 1996. These bars bear the refining stamp of both the Prussian State Mint (1938) and Degussa (1958). They derive from bars which originally belonged to the National Bank of Belgium. They were obtained by the Nazi regime from the Bank of France in 1942, the Belgian authorities having transferred them to France in 1940 for safe-keeping. They were subsequently re- smelted, along with other National Bank of Belgium bars by the Prussian State mint and assigned new numbers. The false date of 1938 was entered into the mints records and marked on the bars to di sguise the bars Belgian origins. Note to Editors: The Bank has also been authorised by the Tripartite Commission to publish a list of transactions carried out on the Commissions gold account. The list can be obtained from the Public Enquiries Group on 0171 601 4878. Bank of England 8 May 1997 Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations.

The 1998 Act provides for the appointment, by the Crown, of a Governor, two Deputy Governors and sixteen Non-Executive Directors. The term of appointment for the Governor and two Deputy Governors is five years and for the Directors, three years, all of which are renewable. Court meets at least once a month, and its functions are to manage the Bank's affairs other than the formulation of monetary policy, which is the responsibility of the Monetary Policy Committee. This includes determining the Bank's objectives and strategy, ensuring the effective discharge of the Bank's functions and ensuring the most efficient use of the Bank's resources. The sixteen Non-Executive Directors form a Committee of Court to review the Bank's performance in relation to its objectives and strategy, monitoring its financial management, reviewing its internal financial controls and determining the Governor's and Deputy Governors' remuneration.

[CTRL] Fwd: British Intelligence Service / new spymaster /Profile
* 14) From: "Timothy Robarts" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: British Intelligence Service / new spymaster / Profile The Sunday Times - July 25 1999 Richard Dearlove. The master spy inside a suburban cold fish In the mythology of British espionage, certain names conjure up the glamorous danger of undercover work. One thinks of Moneypenny, Domino, Goodnight and Pussy Galore. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that the overlords of the Great Game have asked a character named Dearlove to slip into something more comfortable - the chair of "C", head of the Secret Intelligence Service, known to the uninitiated as MI6. Good heavens, another woman? "Q" was quite put out when Stella Rimington was appointed boss of the detested MI5. No, Dearlove is a man - Richard Billing Dearlove. Next week he becomes one of the most powerful figures in the British Establishment. Ministers will cross at their peril a figure who commands more than 150 intelligence officers, a staff of 2,000 and a budget of more than £150m. In keeping with the John le Carré tradition, Dearlove conceals his identity behind a George Smiley persona that is guaranteed to confound wily foreigners. In the London suburb of Putney, he occupies a semi-detached Edwardian house surrounded by a 7ft hedge. Here, with a devoted wife and three children, he enjoys reading classics, growing fuchsias and dabbling in watercolours. Britain would expect nothing less. Dearlove clearly subscribes to the sentiments of the man he replaces, Sir David Spedding, who in a rare public utterance declared: "We are not going to allow ourselves to be undressed in public." It is equally reassuring to learn that Dearlove's mild facade conceals a flinty and sometimes ruthless brain. One former colleague who knew him well paid him the rare compliment of remarking that he was "colder than a week-old cod on a fishmonger's slab". Others describe him variously as "hard-nosed and ambitious", "honest, forthright and fair-minded" and "grizzled but respected because of his operational experience". Some even maintain he possesses that other requisite of the spy: he is attractive to women "because of his eyes and long eyelashes". Good Lord, steady on. But another verdict is equally perplexing given the fate of Michael Howard: "There is something of the night about him," said one colleague. It is a matter of hallowed record that Dearlove's "C" designation is derived from the surname of Captain Mansfield Cumming, who founded the Secret Service Bureau in 1909 and whose penchant for signing dispatches in green ink still survives. The initial also inspired Ian Fleming's "M", James Bond's boss. It is fervently hoped that Dearlove will emulate Cumming's achievements, notably as a master of disguise. How Cumming accomplished this is not quite clear given that he had only one leg (he lost the other in a road accident) and needed his gold monocle. To overcome his handicap, he propelled himself down the corridors of power on a child's scooter. Dearlove's childhood was overshadowed by a similar injury sustained by his father. Jack Dearlove, who worked for Sainsbury's while it was a high street grocers and went on to help establish the first supermarkets, lost his leg at the age of 12 in a road accident. Against the odds, he forged a career as an international cox, winning a silver medal at the 1948 Olympics. Tellingly, he was not allowed to join the opening ceremony because of his handicap. Jack's battle against his disability had a huge influence on his three children. A determined man, he even played tennis, serving with the aid of a crutch and hopping around the court. He died, aged 54, in another car crash, apparently after collapsing at the wheel. Richard Dearlove was born in January 1945, following an elder brother, John, and a sister, Ann, into the world. He attended Monkton Combe school near Bath and spent a year at Kent school in Connecticut in the United States. He joined MI6 at 21 after graduating from Queens' College, Cambridge. He read history on a scholarship and took up his father's passion for rowing. At Cambridge he also first bumped into Stephen Lander, now director-general of MI5. They have since become friends, something that may be prompted as much by expediency as mutual interest. It was the mid-1960s, the height of student activism, but Dearlove was not a rebel. He toyed with the idea of becoming an academic and was offered a clerkship at the House of Commons. Instead, he joined MI6. His first assignment in 1968 was Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, where he worked as a diplomat to earn cover for his next posting, Prague. It was 1973 and the world was gripped by cold war fear. In the capital of what was then Czechoslovakia, Dearlove distinguished himself running a cold war operation to infiltrate the Warsaw Pact. "Richard did well," said a former colleague. "We had them by the throat." In 1980 he moved to Paris where

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Single Currency Euro Surges on German Inflation Data Expectation of ECB Policy Shift FRANKFURT - The euro surged Monday in its biggest one-day gain since its inauguration in January after German inflation rose steeply, suggesting a genuine economic recovery for the Continent and heartening Europe's political leaders and central bankers. But European exporters were less enthusiastic as a stronger single currency cuts into their profits. Meanwhile stock markets in the nations that make up the European monetary union weakened. The euro rose to $1.0655 in 4 P.M. trading in New York from $1.0503 on Friday. It briefly traded above $1.07, its highest level in more than two months. The surge Monday underscored the recent sharp rebound for a currency that little more than a week ago was on the brink of parity with the U.S. dollar. ''There are signs that the European economy is gathering steam again,'' said Ernst Welteke, a Bundesbank board member who takes over as the president of the German central bank next month. In recent days, the euro has been moving higher as evidence accumulates that economies in the 11-nation euro zone are reviving. On Monday, fresh signs of a resurgence in Germany, the largest economy in the euro zone, set off the euro buying spree. Stronger German economic growth was evident in a report from the Federal Statistics Office showing the steepest increase in German consumer prices in two years. The consumer price index climbed 0.5 percent in July from June, when it rose just 0.1 percent. Currency traders seized on the news as a sign that interest rates in the euro zone could rise early next year. Traders bid the euro up as the prospect of higher borrowing rates promises to increase the value of euro-denominated assets. But investors drove European equity prices lower, particularly in Germany, where the DAX index tumbled nearly 2 percent. Investors had cheered when the euro's slump bolstered European business prospects by discounting exports in dollar terms. But the euro's rise Monday raised the possibility of a slowdown in exports. The euro's rebound came as welcome news to Europe's political leaders and central bankers, who have staked Europe's future on the pillar of a currency union. The rally has halted an alarming slide that made the currency a symbol of European economic weakness and political disunity. German leaders, in particular, feared that the euro's embarrassing plunge would turn public opinion against European integration. ''When the euro was only falling, every pessimist on the euro was able to say, 'I told you so,''' said Brendan Brown, chief economist in London at Tokyo-Mitsubishi International PLC. ''Now the euro has turned around so sharply that the pessimists will have a hard time.'' For the European Central Bank, which has endured a stormy since January managing the euro, the currency's revival gives the euro zone's central bank one less worry. ''It takes the pressure off them,'' said Alison Cottrell, chief international economist in London at PaineWebber International. ''It takes the spotlight off them.'' The euro has gained almost nonstop since the ECB first spoke of a ''creeping'' inflation trend on July 15. Otmar Issing, the bank's chief economist, said in a German newspaper interview that appeared Monday that the ECB is watching prices with ''increased attention.'' Taken together, the economic news of the past week has diminished the appeal of the dollar, economists said. ''It is no longer very likely that the euro will fall to parity'' with the dollar, said Eckhard Schulte, an economist for Frankfurt branch of the Industrial Bank of Japan. An upturn in Germany's business confidence index last week helped lift the euro off its lows and promised a narrowing of the gap with heady economic growth in the United States. The notion of higher euro interest rates similarly would cap the interest rate advantage for the dollar, which is underpinned by a short-term interest rate of 5 percent, which is twice as high as the equivalent euro rate of 2.5 percent. The euro's momentum gathered speed on the announcement last week that German producer prices, another key inflation index for raw industrial goods like steel, rose 0.1 percent in June from May, when they were unchanged. International Herald Tribune, July 27, 1999 North Korean Missiles Asian Conference Bashes North Korea Over Missiles William Cohen and Madeleine Albright Save Japan by Having Intercourse SINGAPORE - Foreign ministers from Asia, the Pacific and Europe warned Monday that North Korea's ballistic missile program was a threat to regional stability and could create a new crisis in Asia.

Om K - A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:540038"Moors/A - Subject: Moors From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kansan1225) Date: Mon, 26 July 1999 12:54 PM EDT Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Last Friday, July 23, 1999, was the first day of the zodiac sign of Leo, the so-called "Lion of Judah". Leo is "ruled" by the sun, a clandestine Luciferian Masonic (CLuM) symbol of Lucifer/Satan. July 23 happens to be the birthday of Monica S. Lewinsky, the "Unique Daughter of the Levite". On that day a memorial service for ritual sacrificial victims JFK, Jr., and his public wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, was celebrated at the St. Thomas More Church in Manhattan, NY. Sir Thomas More had written a book named "Utopia" before being beheaded in 1535, on July 6, or 7/6. Summing up: 7 + 6 =13. The first writer about the legendary "utopia" Atlantis was the philosopher Plato. Actress Dana Plato died under suspicious circumstances on May 8, 1999, in Moore, OK. Again, May 8 is 5/8: 5 + 8 = 13. Her death happened after terrific tornadoes went through Oklahoma on May 3. The largest of these tornadoes crossed U.S. Highway 77 at Moore, OK. The number 77 is the Mark of the Revenge of Lamech (Genesis 4:23-24) and marked the CLuM sacrifice known as the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. The legendary continent of Atlantis was supposedly ruled from islands off the Straits of Gibraltar in the Atlantic, where the Canary Islands and the Island of Madeira are today. These islands lie off the coast of Morocco, the Land of the Moors. The King of the Moors, Hassan, died last Friday, July 23, the day of the memorial service at St. Thomas More Church. The English surnames More or Moore mean "a Moor", or "someone dark as a Moor". King Hassan's funeral was attended by many clandestine Luciferian Masons (CLuMs) from around the world. Even though Hassan was a rather minor ruler by world standards, the President of New Atlantis himself, William Jefferson Clinton, attended. This honor may have been paid to the King of the Moors because he claimed descent from Muhammad, the founder of Islam. Another claimant of such descent was King Hussein of Jordan, who committed CLuM ritual suicide last February around the time of Mid-winter's Night. The CLuM meaning of "William Jefferson Clinton" is "Levi, a descendant of Solomon and a descendant of Cleito". Cleito, according to Plato, was a mortal woman who mated with the god of the ocean, storms, and earthquakes, Poseidon, and gave birth to Atlas and his brothers, the first kings of legendary Atlantis. The major mountain chain in the Land of the Moors, Morocco, is Atlas, while the Island of Madeira itself lies off-shore in the Atlantic Ocean near the N. 33rd parallel. Speaking of Madeira, there is a Madera (the Spanish version of the Portuguese "Madeira") in California not far from Yosemite National Park. This area is close to the intersection of the N. 37 parallel and the W. 120 meridian. Again, 3 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 0 = 13. On Wednesday, July 21, a Yosemite employee, Joie Ruth Armstrong, was beheaded there. The suspect is Cary Stayner. In this case there is a triple repetition of the letter "Y", the "Letter of Pythagoras": "Y"osemite, Car"y", Sta"y"ner. Cary Stayner is also implicated in the triple murder of three women in Yosemite last February. The three women disappeared on February 15, 1999, just before the New Moon. That was also the time after King Hussein's ritual suicide. King Hussein had participated at the Wye Plantation conference last Friday, October 23, the first day of Scorpio, the zodiac sign of death. There were exactly nine months to the day, the length of a "pregnancy", between the signing of the Wye accords and King Hassan's death. "Wye", of course, is another instance of "Y", the "Letter of Pythagoras". This letter made its occult appearance in the case of Jayne Mansfield, another victim of CLuM decapitation, whose original name was plain Jane. Similarly, JFK, Jr.'s public wife was named Carol"y"n. The triple sacrifice of JFK, Jr., Carolyn, and Lauren took place on July 16, the 30th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11 that brought Neil Armstrong to the moon. They died to thank Lucifer/Satan for this CLuM success. Joie Ruth "Armstrong" died for the same reason. Of course, the name Armstrong contains the word "Mason" in it: ArMStrONg. Yesterday, Lucifer/Satan paid back the CLuMs for these sacrifices, when another ArMStrONg, testicular cancer victim Lance Armstrong, won the bicycling Tour de France under suspicious circumstances. The victims of the triple sacrifice, JFK, Jr., Carolyn, and Lauren, were committed to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the burial grounds of legendary Atlantis, close to the intersection of the N. 41 parallel and the W. 71 meridian: 4 + 1 + 7 + 1 = 13. Their ashes were scattered close to

NewsTop Stories Headlines Monday July 26 1:56 PM ET U.S. Soldiers Feared Dead In Colombia Plane Crash FullCoverageDrugTrade By Karl PenhaulBOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - Five American soldiers and two Colombians were feared dead after a U.S. anti-drug plane crashed into mountains in a rebel-held area of southern Colombia, top U.S. counternarcotics official Barry McCaffrey said Monday.It was thought to be the first time U.S. troops were killed in Colombia's U.S.-backed drug war. But McCaffrey said the accident would not undermine Washington's commitment to helping the world's top cocaine-producing nation stem the tide of narco-trafficking.``They have located the wreckage and it's under observation,'' McCaffrey told a news conference after meeting Colombian businessmen in Bogota.``The evidence so far would indicate that the five brave American aviators and two Colombia air force officers have probably lost their lives in a fatal accident,'' he added.The De Havilland RC-7 reconnaissance aircraft disappeared from radar screens before dawn Friday as it flew over southeast Colombia -- a stronghold of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas and a region rife with illegal plantations of coca leaf, the raw material for cocaine.Wreckage has been located at an altitude of about 7,000 feet in jungle-clad mountains that divide southern Putumayo and Narino provinces, close to the border with Ecuador, according to Lt. Jane Campbell, of the U.S. army's Miami-based Southern Command.Dense fog prevented ground rescue teams from reaching the crash site. Campbell said no aircraft could land at the site and rescuers would have slide down on ropes from helicopters in order to obtain ``100 percent confirmation'' that the wreck the De Havilland.There was no sign marauding FARC rebels, fiercely opposed to Washington's anti-drug policy, were close to the crash site.The five U.S. soldiers -- two captains, a warrant officer and two enlisted men -- who are feared dead were part of a group of about 240 U.S. personnel based in Colombia at any one time, most of them involved in counterdrug operations.The crash and McCaffrey's three-day visit came at a critical juncture for the fight against drugs in Colombia, which saw a two-fold increase in cocaine production despite receiving $280 million in U.S. counternarcotics aid this year.Despite being the world's third-largest recipient of U.S. aid, Colombia has seen cocaine production double to about 165 metric tons annually over the last four years and heroin output rise about 20 percent to 6 tons.U.S. and Colombian officials blame spiraling production on the growing links of Marxist rebels, and to some extent their right-wing paramilitary rivals, in the drug trade.``It's quite clear that drug production is up dramatically and that many, in particular FARC units, benefit financially from association with criminal drug organizations,'' McCaffrey said, adding the smaller National Liberation Army (ELN) and ultra-right death squads were also involved in drug running.Colombian authorities estimated the FARC and ELN earned $2.3 billion from the drug trade between 1991 and 1998 and used most of the proceeds to buy weapons.The FARC deny sponsoring narco-trafficking, saying they support impoverished peasants who have no alternative but to grow coca leaf or opium poppies and concede they levy a ''revolutionary war tax'' on drug traffickers.The FARC, and a number of political analysts, have accused Washington of meddling in Colombia's counterinsurgency operations under the pretext of fighting the drug war.

[CTRL] NY TIMES SET TO RELEASE GERTH STORY ON CITIBANK
-Caveat Lector- NY TIMES SET TO RELEASE GERTH STORY ON CITIBANK; WILL NOT HAVE FRONT PAGE PLACEMENT After holding back the story since it was filed by reporter Jeff Gerth last Friday, the NEW YORK TIMES on Tuesday is planning to publish a detailed report on how CITIBANK has been slow to cooperate with various federal investigations looking into money transfers from China and other countries. The story involves individuals suspected of passing cash to the Democratic National Committee -- with money from China -- wired through at least one CITIBANK account. But according to publishing sources, the Gerth report will not appear on Page One of the TIMES. Editors bumped Gerth with a story about the last day of Checker Cabs in New York City! "It has been a controversial story... it raised many sensitive issues," a source explained late Monday night, just hours before publication. The DRUDGE REPORT has learned that Gerth was told to "revisit" the original story that he filed. The story that will appear on Tuesday is said to be a "moderation" of Gerth's original report. The efforts of a congressional committee that is currently investigating the cash trail from China appears to have been de-emphasized in the final edit. The Committee on Government Reform has been "stonewalled" by CITIBANK, a committee source said late Monday night. Gerth left out specific details of the bank's lack of cooperation with investigators. Congressional investigators have subpoenaed bank account records of suspected money runners. CITIBANK has balked at providing the records, citing, among other things, a "language barrier" problem with its Hong Kong office. Early on in the investigation, it was discovered that CITIBANK was used for the original "Chung wire" of cash from China. Investigators now want the bank records of Liu Chao Ying, a Chinese aerospace executive and lieutenant colonel in the People's Liberation Army. The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a letter sent to CITIBANK last week from the committee's chairman Dan Burton -- a letter which outlines the bank's level of cooperation.

Things Get Out Of Hand SAMUEL GOMPERS, THE head of the American Federation of Labor, formerly a cigarmaker, a jovial fellow, an Elk and a Mason, a profoundly conservative man who believed unions should stick to bargaining for wages and stay out of radical politics, was finally moved to attack the Harding administration. Gompers, an immigrant who had studied the U.S. Constitution in order to become a citizen, understood the difference between Jess Smith and Harry Daugherty. Smith, with his deals for liquor and fight films and kickbacks, was corrupt. But Daugherty, with his injunction, was a threat to the Constitution itself. To steal money was lousy and unfair. But to steal power was to threaten the very Republic that safeguarded every citizen's freedom. It is one thing to skirt the rules; it is another thing to eliminate them. Jess was involved in some lowdown, dirty politics. Harry was involved in high crimes and misdemeanors. Gompers sent Jackson Ralston, the lawyer for the American Federation of Labor, over to see Congressman Oscar Keller of Min-nesota. Keller, a nervous, high-strung man was, unfortunately, not the strongest ally Gompers could find"an absurd creature," Sam-uel Hopkins Adams called him, "who might have been imagined by Gilbert and set to music by Sullivan." But he was suggestible. With Jackson Ralston's coaching, Keller introduced a resolution in the House, impeaching the attorney general for "abridging freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right of the people peaceably to assemble," and a number of other crimes against the Constitution. Keller had not taken the time to assemble any evidence for his charges, but he had heard a great many rumors, and he found some colleagues who were eager to join with him. The farm bloc, happy to damage the Harding administration, joined in calling for hearings before the judiciary committee. Other representatives, some who had friends or contributors who insisted that Daugherty was prosecuting antitrust cases selectively, joined the move for impeachment. Still other representatives had heard stories that the justice Department prosecuted war profiteers selectively, or sold pardons to criminals, or even that Daugherty had put Bureau of Investigation agents up to spying on members of Congress with a view to blackmailing or intimidating them. "Let an individual," said Samuel Hopkins Adams, "or a constituted body, such as an investigating committee, attempt to clean up or pry into evil conditions, and the Bureau set in movement its formidable machinery of espionage, menace, and oppression." The rumor was that agents of the bureau were breaking into offices, tapping telephones, copying private correspondence. No one was safe. The executive branch of government was trying to subdue the legislative branch. Fear for the Constitution, and fear for the individual skins of congressmen, coalesced. It was just the sort of opportunity that members of Congress love. "Well, let me ask you," as Senator Wheeler put it to Gaston Means in a later investigation of the attorney general's operations, "at whose direction did you investigate Senator Caraway?" MR. MEANS: "I investigated him through Mr. Jess Smith's direction." SENATOR WHEELER: "YOU investigated him through Mr. Jess Smith's direction?" MR. MEANS: "Yes. SENATOR WHEELER: "Was that at the time that Mr. Caraway was making some attacks in the Senate on Attorney General Daugherty?" MR. MEANS: "No. He had made some attacks on President Harding, too, prior to that, and he had made attacks on the Attorney General, too." SENATOR WHEELER: "Now, Mr. Means, you also investigated Senator La Follette, did you not?" MR. MEANS: "Yes." SENATOR WHEELER: "And you went through his offices here, did you not, in the Capitol?" MR. MEANS: "No; I did not." SENATOR WHEELER: "You had somebody do it?" MR. MEANS: "I saw that it was done." SENATOR ASHURST: "You did what?" MR. MEANS: "Well, I saw that it was done." SENATOR ASHURST: "Well, you saw that Senator Caraway's office was gone through?" MR. MEANS: "No, sir; I did not." SENATOR ASHURST: "Who did?" MR. MEANS: "We didn't go through Caraway that way at all, Senator." SENATOR WHEELER: "You have never gone through my offices yet, have you?" MR. MEANS: "If somebody will assign me to it, I will do it, though." SENATOR WHEELER: "Senator Moses suggests to me that I can save time by asking you what senators you have not investigated." MR. MEANS: "Oh, there are lots of them I haven't. They are a pretty clean body. You don't find much on them, either. You don't find very much." SENATOR WHEELER: "Now, Mr. Means, coming back to Senator La Follette, you investigated him at the instance of whom?" MR. MEANS: ". . . I got those [orders] from Mr. Jess

The President Aspires To Surpass Himself DAVID LAWRENCE, WHO was then writing a syndicated newspaper column, was the first to break the news that the president had sworn off alcohol. Previously there had been suggestions off the record of presidential abstemiousness; but Lawrence's story had the authority of an official announcement: Harding had quit drinking. He seemed, at last, to be trying, as Hoover thought he wished to do, to rise above himself. "Something new," said Samuel Hopkins Adams, "was stirring in him." He was no longer tolerating his old political cronies. "Office seekers," said the down-home political commentator "Uncle Henry," in Collier's magazine, "wear nose guards and shin protectors when they go to the White House nowadays, an' even then they come out bruised to the color of a California plum." The patronage dispensers were being given short shrift. Rumors circulated in Washington that Daugherty would resign at any moment. Opposition from the Old Guard senators and the bosses was no longer being tolerated by the White House. Harding even went so farover the objections of Nan's former employer, Judge Gary of U.S. Steelas to declare that the twelve-hour workday was a relic of the past and must be ended. Doubtless Harding was looking forward to the election of 1924, and some of his restless stirring was nothing but electioneering. Yet, everyone sensed a new purposiveness about the president, a renewed wish to be truly presidential. Whether it was "something new" that stirred in him, as Adams thought, or something as old as an Ohio schoolboy's reverence for the office of the presidency, none of the Washington insiders failed to notice the change. Early in the spring of 1923, Harding decided to move out into the country, to get out of Washington and take a trip through the Middle West and West and on up into Alaska, to try to gather a constituency for a fresh start. He had no great new slogan for himself, but he did his best to come up with something; he decided to call his trip a "Voyage of Understanding." He departed on June 20, with the Duchess and twenty-two newspaper reporters, five photographers, ten Secret Service men, Doc Sawyer, his secretary George Christian, and other friends and aides. As they moved across the countrystopping now and again in small towns for Harding to stand out on the platform in the sun to make a short speechhe played bridge, talked, and moved restlessly from one side of the car to the other to look out the windows at the passing countryside. He was almost never alone, almost never still. He had determined to aspire to statesmanship, to redeem himself by casting his presidency suddenly above the sordidness of the politics of the Ohio Gang to some grander plane. But by this time, he was so out of practice at aspiring, his imagination had been so little used in such terms, that he could not think of anything too wonderful. He chose to speak in favor of a World Courtas though he would invent the very context in which he himself would be judged good. The World Court was, by this time, a safely popular issue. It was an issue that could attract the old League of Nations crowdand, at the same time, bring in a lot of others who despised the league but loved the notion of standing for something noble in the world community. The World Court would be something the country could join without being bound in any real way by any international accords. Four out of five voters favored a world court. Harding had hardly taken a courageous position. He thought he had: his support for the World Court put him in direct opposition to those fearsome old Republican warhorses in the Senate. But Harding had had so little practice in courage that he gave himself more credit than he deserved in standing up for the World Court. He chose to speak out first in St. Louisand that, too, was something that must have seemed courageous to him, since St. Louis was the very bastion of isolationism in America. "I shall not restrict my appeal to your reason," Harding said. "I shall call upon your patriotism. I shall beseech your humanity. I shall invoke your Christianity." He believed in his cause: he had come at this late date to an issue that perfectly mixed opportunism and idealism, bravery and expediency, vote getting and nobility; it was so wonderful an issue that it might have made him weep. "I shall reach to the very depths of your love for your fellow countrymen of whatever race or creed throughout the world. . . . My soul yearns for peace. My heart is anguished by the sufferings of war. My spirit is eager to serve. My passion is for justice over force. My hope is in the great court. My mind is made up. My resolution is fixed."

-Caveat Lector- We are, and have been for awhile, an occupied country. Department of State Publication 7277 THE UNITED STATES PROGRAM FOR GENERAL AND COMPLETE DISARMAMENT IN A PEACEFUL WORLD DEPARTMENT OF STATE DEPARTMENT OF STATE PUBLICATION 7277 Disarmament Series 5 Released September 1961 Office of Public Services BUREAU OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS For sale by the Superintendent ot Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. - Price 15 cents INTRODUCTION The revolutionary development of modern weapons within a world divided by serious ideological differences has produced a crisis in human history. In order to overcome the danger of nuclear war now confronting mankind, the United States has introduced, at the Sixteenth General Assembly of the United Nations, a Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. This new program provides for the progressive reduction of the war-making capabilities of nations and the simultaneous strengthening of international institutions to settle disputes and maintain the peace. It sets forth a series of comprehensive measures which can and should be taken in order to bring about a world in which there will be freedom from war and security for all states. It is based on three principles deemed essential to the achievement of practical progress in the disarmament field: First, there must be immediate disarmament action: A strenuous and uninterrupted effort must be made toward the goal of general and complete disarmament; at the same time, it is important that specific measures be put into effect as soon as possible. Second, all disarmament obligations must be subject to effective international controls: The control organization must have the manpower, facilities, and effectiveness to assure that limitations or reductions take place as agreed. It must also be able to certify to all states that retained forces and armaments do not exceed those permitted at any stage of the disarmament process. Third, adequate peace-keeping machinery must be established: There is an inseparable relationship between the scaling down of national armaments on the one hand and the building up of international peace-keeping machinery and institutions on the other. Nations are unlikely to shed their means of self-protection in the absence of alternative ways to safeguard their legitimate interests. This can only be achieved through the progressive strengthening of international institutions under the United Nations and by creating a United Nations Peace Force to enforce the peace as the disarmament process proceeds. There follows a summary of the principal provisions of the United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. The full text of the program is contained in an appendix to this pamphlet. FREEDOM FROM WAR THE UNITED STATES PROGRAM FOR GENERAL AND COMPLETE DISARMAMENT IN A PEACEFUL WORLD SUMMARY DISARMAMENT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES The overall goal of the United States is a free, secure, and peaceful world of independent states adhering to common standards of justice and international conduct and subjecting the use of force to the rule of law; a world which has achieved general and complete disarmament under effective international control; and a world in which adjustment to change takes place in accordance with the principles of the United Nations. In order to make possible the achievement of that goal, the program sets forth the following specific objectives toward which nations should direct their efforts: The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force; The elimination from national arsenals of all armaments, including all weapons of mass destruction and the means for their delivery, other than those required for a United Nations Peace Force and for maintaining internal order; The institution of effective means for the enforcement of international agreements, for the settlement of disputes, and for the maintenance of peace in accordance with the principles of the United Nations; The establishment and effective operation of an International Disarmament Organization within the framework of the United Nations to insure compliance at all times with all disarmament obligations. TASKS OF NEGOTIATING STATES The negotiating states are called upon to develop the program into a detailed plan for general and complete disarmament and to continue their efforts without interruption until the whole program has been achieved.

-Caveat Lector- July 26, 1999 China, US Find Common Ground In Taiwan Statehood Furore By Roberto Coloma The political storm set off by Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui's suggestion of statehood has given Washington and Beijing common ground to mend frayed ties, diplomats and analysts said Monday. US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, speaking after talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan in Singapore, indirectly chided the Taiwanese leader on Sunday, saying clarifications issued so far were inadequate. Tang branded Lee a "troublemaker" and pressed Washington to affirm its one-China policy. Stepping up the rhetoric on Monday, Tang obliquely warned of "war and conflict" should foreign forces support Taiwan's separation. The two ministers were in Singapore for a security forum and other meetings under the auspices of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). US-China relations hit a fresh low in May after US-led NATO forces bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo campaign in what Washington called an accident. Three Chinese nationals were killed, triggering popular outrage in China. But in recent weeks, Chinese wrath has shifted to Lee's suggestion that Taiwan-China relations be seen as "special state-to-state" ties. China regards Taiwan as a renegade province. Washington is officially committed to a one-China policy recognizing only Beijing, while maintaining close links with Taipei. "China expects the US to come down decisively against the policy of two Chinas," Bob Broadfoot, managing director of the Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy Ltd., told AFP. "Previously the US policy was of intentional ambiguity. They wouldn't commit themselves either way, which kept both parties in check, but when one party moved in a direction that would push toward two Chinas, the US has to be less ambiguous," he said. "That helps China and the US at least find some common ground to prevent a deterioration in their relations," he said. Broadfoot said domestic factors may have been at play, noting Lee's remarks could be designed to undercut the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which is known for taking a stronger line on independence than the ruling Kuomintang, ahead of next year's presidential election. A senior aide accompanying Albright in Singapore said China was worried people in Taiwan who support something other than the one-China policy "might take heart from elements in the US who encourage that, and they're very clear that they don't want the administration to be sending the wrong signals." "I think it's quite possible that they will come up with some ways, additional formulations of explaining their positions. I think that is what the secretary (Albright) was getting at. In other words, this is a work still in progress rather than just status quo." Asked whether he thought Chinese anger at the embassy bombing had amplified their reaction to the Taiwan statehood issue, the aide said: "I think it's almost the reverse. I think their anger about the bombing incident is decreasing as they start focusing on Taiwan and one-China issues." US envoy Richard Bush on Sunday wrapped up a four-day visit to Taiwan during which he sought a clarification from Lee and other Taiwanese officials. Hsu Ke-sheng, vice chairman of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, told reporters in Taipei on Monday that Washington would have a better understanding of Taipei's stance "after Bush brought back the message." Joseph Wu, professor at the Institute of International Relations at the National Chengchi University, said Albright had not been updated about Taipei's position when she chided Taiwan. "Washington is expected to have a formal response at a later date after the message Bush brought back is scrutinized," Wu said. The Hong Kong Standard said "it is clear that Washington's measured response to the Taiwan crisis had a lot to do with the easing of tensions."

-Caveat Lector- Taiwan's Army Ill-Prepared for Chinese Threat Civil Defense, Public Morale Faulted By John Pomfret Washington Post Foreign Service Tuesday, July 27, 1999; Page A13 TAIPEI, TaiwanLast May, the Taiwanese army shortened a military exercise aimed at countering a hypothetical invasion from China. The reason? An endangered turtle species needed protection on offshore islands. A few months earlier, an artillery practice range in Taiwan's Yulin County was closed. The cause? Complaints about the noise. With tensions high between Taiwan and China, the readiness of Taiwan's military and of its people to support the military have become key factors in the balance of power across the Taiwan Strait. This issue is also important to the United States, which, if Taiwan's military were to collapse, could be forced to defend Taiwan from Chinese attack. The matter has come into sharp focus since early July, when Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui announced that he wants China to start treating Taiwan as an equal in talks between the two, not as a renegade province. The Beijing government responded angrily to this abandonment of the long-standing diplomatic convention known as the "one China" policy and has refused to rule out the use of force if Taiwan makes further moves toward asserting formal independence from the mainland. Such threats naturally raise questions about Taiwan's military footing. But as important as are the tanks and missiles in Taiwan's arsenal, it is the willingness of its people to bear up under continuous threats from Beijing--and to fight a war if need be--that could ultimately determine the fate of this self-ruled island of 23 million, military experts say. Indeed, civilian morale here is critical because China's main coercive options just now--military threats; a possible blockade of Taiwan's ports; seizure of sparsely populated islets around the main island; or tactical missile attacks--would not bring victory unless Taiwan surrenders. A Pentagon report issued in February said that any full-scale amphibious invasion China could mount across the 100-mile-wide Taiwan Strait would face enormous obstacles. Less polite analysts call it the "million man swim." Nonetheless, defense analysts say, both military readiness and public morale here fall short of what is could be needed to repel a determined campaign of intimidation--or outright attack--by Beijing, although Taiwan's new defense minister, Tang Fei, is getting high marks for recognizing the problems. "What makes us vulnerable or strong is not F-16s or the lack of them, it's our vulnerability to psychological warfare from Beijing," said Andrew Yang, a leading security analyst in Taipei. "Right now, we are weak in civil defense. We are weak in a sense of forthcoming danger. Unlike Israel, we are totally oblivious to these things." In 1996, for example, China staged massive military exercises across the strait from Taiwan and fired ballistic missiles near the island. The Taipei stock market plummeted 1,000 points, and $15 billion in investment capital fled the country. Concerned about Taiwan's defensive capacity, the Pentagon began a program two years ago under which a steady stream of advisers have come to the island to assess military strengths and weaknesses, particularly in the light of technological advances. "The Taiwan army is facing a large number of software issues," said a former Defense Department official. "We decided it would be prudent to help them along." Democracy has brought many things to this island--a directly elected president, a free press, a rambunctious legislature, environmental awareness. But it has also constricted Taiwan's military, diminishing both its stature and its budget. Under a generation of martial law, which ended in 1987, Taiwan's military routinely sucked up half the state budget; now it gets about 20 percent annually. Taiwan's legislature cut the defense budget again this year to an estimated $11 billion. China, on the other hand, has been increasing military spending for the past 10 years to around $30 billion a year, according to Western estimates. In a rare interview, Tang, the defense minister, said the legislature has assured him that the cuts will stop. "These are problems faced by any democratic society," said Tang, a former air force officer who has won praise for confronting Taiwan's defensive shortcomings. "We're doing more computer-simulated exercises these days. We're trying to reduce the disturbances to the public." Western experts say Tang was one of the first to comprehend the crisis facing the armed forces, and he has been working to trim about 40,000 men from the military to create a leaner, more efficient force of about 400,000. He is also trying to cut hundreds of generals from the payroll and has instituted a program to seek out and employ high-tech specialists by offering attractive salaries and benefits. Tang is also pushing to professionalize the military.

-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Behemoth - The Structure and Practice of National Socialism Franz Neuman Oxford University Press©1942 Tronto/New York/London 532 pps. - first edition/out-of-print --[1a]-- IV THE RACIAL PEOPLE, THE SOURCE OF CHARISMA THE Leader's charismatic power has to derive from somewhere, from God or the tribe. In National Socialist theory its source is in the racial people. Rare is the National Socialist utterance that does not claim that all power is derived from the people. We have seen that Carl Schmitt's 'tripartite' political scheme aroused sharp criticism because it deviated on this point, assigning an inferior, unpolitical part to the people. 1. NATION AND RACE What, then, do the German National Socialists understand by the 'racial people' and why do they stress its supremacy? Why do they so deliberately avoid using the current term 'nation'? Races exist, there is no denying it, and a race may be defined as a group of individuals possessing in common certain traits transmitted by heredity, which are sufficiently clear to mark off one group from others.[1] As we are not concerned with anthropological problems, we can pass over the question what these distinctions are and when they are sufficiently marked. Nor are we interested in adopting any specific classification of races; we agree with the large majority of anthropologists that there are no superior or inferior races, and that there is no scientifically determinable connection between racial and cultural attributes. 'The so-called racial explanation of differences in human performance and achievement is either an ineptitude or a fraud.'[2] We also agree that there are no pure races, that 'every civilized group of which we have record has been a hybrid group, a fact which effectively disposes of the theory that hybrid people are inferior to purebred ones.'[3] Scientific arguments contribute little to an understanding of German racism. It is of little avail, for example, to attack racism by pointing out that the term 'Aryan' does not denote a common bone structure or blood composition, or any other physical or biological similarity, but merely a common linguistic origin. Even the discoveries of National Socialist anthropology are not to any great extent incorporated into the body of National Socialist philosophy, which merely speaks of Aryan races or of Nordic and Germanic superiority. Instead of refuting the racial theory, we shall try to understand its social, political, and cultural significance. The attempt has already been made. Scholars have drawn attention to the intimate connection between racism and the persecution of minorities, that characterized the Inquisition, the Albigensian crusade, and the campaign against the French Huguenots, and have interpreted race persecution as a modern form of religious intolerance and heresyhunting. On this basis, racism has been described as an ideology designed to defend and justify 'unequal citizen rights.'[4] This theory is certainly correct, but does it help us to understand why racism supersedes nationalism and why Anti-Semitism, which is the German form of racism, is accepted not merely as a device for persecution but as a genuine philosophy of life pervading the whole National Socialist outlook? We shall be able to solve the problem only by analyzing the functions of the various concepts involved. Race is an entirely biological phenomenon: the concept of 'the people' contains an admixture of cultural elements. Common descent, common geographical location, common customs, common language and religion-all play a part in the making of a people, although the particular significance of the various elements may vary according to the historical situation.[5] The concept of a racial people, a term the Germans are fond of, is, however, based primarily on biological traits; the cultural elements serve only to distinguish various groups within one race. In contrast, the nation is primarily a political concept. It involves the idea of the state, without which the nation cannot be conceived. A people becomes a nation if it possesses a consciousness of common political aims, if it is capable of achieving and maintaining a unified political will. As eminent a political leader as Disraeli rejected the very concept of the people. 'The phrase "the people" is sheer nonsense. It is not a political term. It is a phrase of natural history. A people is a species; a civilised community is a nation. Now, a nation is a work of art and a work of time.'[6] Nation and nationality are intrinsically connected with the state.[7] The modern state, however, has not been created by the nation, but resulted from the introduction of commodity production, which has preceded the appearance of modern nations. When the product of labor is a commodity convertible into money, this money can be used to build the state and to establish a bureaucracy and standing army. The first modern states were the

I think it's safe to say the social controllers LOST that round. Critical NOW is to keep the ball rolling and FORCE this issue back into the limelight of mass media in any way possible. SPAMMING them relentlessly ought to have some effect. THIS IS THEIR J*O*B-- AND LET THEM KNOW IT!! When forwarding or otherwise publicizing this information keep in mind these most basic facts. This is not something that's just "circulating" on the net. We have done an INTENSIVE tracking and investigation of ALL ASPECTS of this tragedy for a week and a half now, the results of which clearly indicate SUBSTANTIAL reasons to consider foul play as the cause of the Kennedy plane crash. As for the FBI report itself, It was posted at the site of a VERY popular, well-known and credible public/media entity, Jeff Rense--who to some extent CERTAINLY put his reputation on the line in posting the article and in airing a broadcast on the report WHICH WAS ILLEGALLY SHUT DOWN for 37 minutes on Sunday night 7.25.99 AS WAS our email service PERMANENTLY shut down after we sent a copy of the FBI report to our mailing list and to the media. This report is posted right NOW at the Internet Office News website -- http://www.internetofficenews.com/news5.htm Just because it's not on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or the REST of the cloned mass media outlets DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T TRUE! That's what we're TRYING to do--FORCE the media to reopen the story and report the TRUE FACTS! THE BIG POINT The one TREMENDOUSLY important fact which blows all the subsequent spin-doctored disinformation away is the simple fact that Kennedy radioed the Martha's Vineyard airport at 9:39 PM; indicating his position, location and trajectory; indicating a smooth flight in every imaginable sense of the word; indicating a calm, collected and completely "in control" state of mind on his part and complete command of his craft. SECONDS LATER, according to the GENUINE radar returns mentioned in EARLY news reports about the disaster, this craft was plunging toward the ocean LIKE A ROCK; at the rate of 100 ft. per second. This CRITICALLY IMPORTANT information was reported on July 17 by WCVB-TV in Boston, by ABC NEWS and cited in a UPI article datelined July 17, Aquinnah, Mass. ALL MENTION of this CRITICALLY IMPORTANT radio contact as subsequently REMOVED from news accounts of the tragedy by SUNDAY MORNING, July 18. It was not until July 19/20 that some "newly discovered" radar data supposedly showed Kennedy's plane executing unusual maneuvers and indicating definite signs of difficulties such as losing altitude... WELL BEFORE 9:39 PM. Yet the TRUTH is Kennedy DID radio the airport at the time stated in the ORIGINAL news release from UPI. NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH HIS CRAFT OR HIS CAPABILITIES AS A PILOT AT THE TIME OF THIS CALL!! Therefore this newly discovered radar "evidence" is clearly and provably false information proffered for malicious intent to implement a COVER-UP of the true facts concerning the cause of the crash. There is NO OTHER POSSIBLE EXPLANATION. MANY other points of evidence as brought up in our series of articles SUPPORT this most IMPORTANT fact. There was nothing wrong with his plane or his skills as a pilot, nothing to indicate trouble of any kind just seconds before the plane was BLOWN OUT OF THE SKY!! John Quinn/NewsHawk Inc.

Marshall Wilson reports A CONTROVERSIAL United States-based company with links to the Central Intelligence Agency is running all of Australia's immigration detention centres and most of its private jails, including the high-security Arthur Gorrie Remand and Reception Centre at Wacol in Brisbane. The company, Wackenhut Corporation, is named in a 1992 US House Judiciary Committee inquiry as having "doctored" computer software to allow the CIA to spy on foreign governments. Wackenhut was allegedly involved in joint ventures to produce chemical and biological weapons, machine-guns, fuel-air explosives and other military hardware. Florida-based Wackenhut, which prides itself on pioneering the privatisation of correctional services, was authorised by the Australian Government to run four detention centres after a tender process was finalised in November 1997. Investigation shows 17 companies were invited to respond, of which five chose to contest. Wackenhut's winning tender, through subsidiary Australasian Correctional Services (ACS), allows it to administer sites that include the Port Hedland detention centre for illegal immigrants in Western Australia and the Wacol highsecurity prison in outer western Brisbane. It is also responsible for the transportation and care of illegal migrants housed at Villawood in Sydney, Maribyrnong in Victoria and the Perth Detention Centre. Through ACS it also controls the Junee prison in country NSW and the Fulham Correctional Centre near Sale in Victoria. But Wackenhut's involvement here has been controversial. Within the first 13 months of another of its subsidiaries Australasian Correctional Management (ACM) - accepting the contract to run the Arthur Gorrie remand facility, four inmates committed suicide while another died in mysterious circumstances. Gang-rape was alleged to have been common and one inmate was set on fire. In 1993 the Prisoners Legal Services called for an inquiry into the centre's management structure after a prison riot. It resulted in the replacement of the jail's general manager, known to Wackenhut insiders as a tough-talking former United States marine colonel with a bent for discipline. The Courier-Mail has learned there was heated discussion over his suitability to retain his position even after ACM director Wayne Calabrese flew in from Wackenhut's Florida headquarters to defend him. He was subsequently transferred to another destination believed to be in the US. But Wackenhut is about much more than private prisons. Even though key correctional service officials in Australia were well aware that Wackenhut was the ultimate holding company in ACRO, they remained blissfully unaware of its recruitment policy which placed emphasis on former intelligence, military and law enforcement types with specific skills. Even now, few realise that Wackenhut's global network extends into 50 countries where it runs correctional institutions in places that include its US home base, the United Kingdom and South Africa. A former key official with the Queensland Corrective Services Commission who was involved in the selection of Wackenhut told The CourierMail: "If we had been aware of the information now available, it could have resulted in Wackenhut not being awarded the contract" Founded as an investigation agency in 1954 by George Wackenhut - an FBI special agent and admirer of the ultra right-wing John Birch Society - the company, which employs 70,000 people, has diversified to become one of the largest providers of security services in the world. Since core business remains key US Government contracts, there are fears about an altogether too-cosy relationship with those currently or previously associated with US intelligence. New York-based reporter John Connolly, who conducted a revealing interview with George Wackenhut for Spy magazine in 1992, claims at various times members of the board have included former US Defence Secretary and CIA deputy director Frank Carlucci; former Defence Intelligence Agency director Joseph Carroll; former US Secret Service director James Rowley and former FBI director Clarence Kelley. When asked by Connolly, George Wackenhut denied his company was an arm of the CIA. Connolly remains unconvinced and says the appointment of Bruce Berckmans once

Visit the Klub Konformist at Yahoo!: http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/klubkonformist Saturday, July 24, 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] BREAKTHROUGH(S) IN RABIN MURDER INVESTIGATION by Barry Chamish I have to restrain my enthusiasm. I am so bound contractually. I am working with a major television production company, which I cannot yet name. They have begun following trails I have laid and step by step, are verifying my evidence. This week they confirmed who was the fourth person in Rabin's car, the one who wasn't there according to the government's version of the assassination but who was filmed slamming the back passenger side door of Rabin's car anyway, two seconds before anyone was supposed to be inside the vehicle.Yes, now we have identified that person positively. Those who have followed my recent, unpublished work will know who I mean. The folks at the production company also discovered devastating new evidence about the provocateur Avishai Raviv, which I cannot reveal. I assure you, it is a knockout punch. What I can reveal, is the fruits of my labor, and what tasty fruits they are! Two weeks ago, two of the producers were in America negotiating with a major network. The network executives were adamant that we track down a vital document: the complete State Pathologist's report written by Dr. Yehuda Hiss. They insisted that without an official comparison of the pathologist's findings, which the Shamgar Commission Of Inquiry based its findings on, the contradictions in the police and hospital reports were of greatly reduced value. One of my producers called me in great agitation and nearly demanded that I track down a copy and in a hurry. Until now I had utilized sections of the pathologist report reprinted by the newspaper Hatzofe in 1997. I suggested that the producer contact the reporter of the article, Hagai Huberman. She did and he said he had misplaced the material. Next, the producer called Yigal Amir's lawyer, Shmuel Fleishman who informed her, "I have the report in my safe but it is untouchable. I can let you see everything else but I'm forbidden by law to open that report to you." Finally, the producer called the State Pathologist's Office at the Legal Medicine Dept. of the Sackler Faculty of Medicine. The office manager was aghast at her request and told the producer that she'd have to go to court to try and get it. After two weeks the task looked hopeless. Yet how nice it is to have good contacts. I will not name the two gentlemen who passed me the report, but will hint they are both brilliant Russian-born investigators. After over three and a half years, I have the full State Pathologist's Report on Yitzhak Rabin in my hands...And what a tale it tells. What a simply incredible fable most of it is, yet powerful truth remains within its blatant obfuscations. What follows is a most preliminary initial examination of the report. I have discussed its significance with two experienced journalists and a respected academic but no doctor has gone over the text with me. The journalists came to the same conclusions about certain shocking clauses of the document, however medical expertise is required. I request that medical personnel contact me and I will fax you the full seven page report in return for a professional opinion of its contents. Those who know my strategy understand that I release all the documents I uncover to the public. My goal is not to have exclusive scoops to enhance my career: I want the truth out. I will also supply the documents to journalists and serious researchers. Once the full significance of the report is understood, I will offer it to any interested party. Until then, let us satisfy ourselves with some rather juicy hints. The following quotes from the report are observations understandable to the layman. I left complicated medical terminology out but fear not, once I have professional guidance, a completed report will be issued. Dr. Hiss's Pathological Examination of Yitzhak Rabin began at approxomately 2 AM, November 5, or two and a half hours after Rabin was pronounced dead on the operating table. The prelude to the report is a declaration by Dr. Hiss that what he writes is legally binding, as if he had sworn an oath in court. Let us begin. I will present statements from the report and offer some explanations of their significance." 1. The Other Pathologist Prelude - "Assisting me was Eli Lipshtein." Significance - On July 6, 1996, the Supreme Court of Israel heard a petition based on the

We get this information from other sources (i.e., contacts, namecards, reports and general industry information). For example, one of the largest PLA affiliated firms is NORINCO. Nothing in these databases indicated its affiliation. We do not maintain a formal FCS all-encompassing computer database of Chinese companies. Rather, we rely on the sources listed above. However, understanding the relationships of companies in China is important and we attempt to identify parent companies and ministries for non-PLA companies just the same. I suggest you modify your testimony accordingly. We also are gathering information that you may find useful regarding a company that manufacturers stun-guns which requested our assistance in exporting to China. We discovered this company was not only selling to the PLA, but that the products were prohibited by US export control laws. Mark Bayuk of our office worked with BXA to stop this sale.

[CTRL] Fwd: Woodstock 99 and Mind Control
When we heard the 1999 Woodstock festival was going to be held on the grounds of a "decommissioned" Air Force base, our anntenae started twitching. Anyone who has followed the subjects of covert and/or "black" projects operated by our friendly "shadow" government would be well aware that military facilities and bases are OFTEN sites for ultra-classified research and experimentation of a shockingly unethical, inhuman/inhumane and generally flat-out MALEVOLENT AND MALICIOUS nature. Many such bases have massive underground facilities which remain in operation AFTER the surface installation has been decommissioned and/or "shuttered". Prominent among the fields "researched" by these sociopathic Nazi-oriented creeps at such installations is mind control--implemented by a wide variety of techniques and tactics. We find it very odd that the latest Woodstock "festival" was held on the grounds of the decommissioned Griffis Air Force Base in New York. New York's Air Force facilities have along and wretched history as being hotshots for mind control experimentation of a most outrageous sort. Many such bases remain in some level of operation with regard to the highly classified mind control programs noted. How interesting then, that the music festival held on the Griffis AFB grounds erupted into a fiery, uncontrollable riot at the conclusion of the 3 day event, with hundreds if not thousands of youngsters going completely wacky in an orgy of destruction, looting, violence and general all around mayhem. Most FORTUNATELY there were no serious injuries or deaths--however, the situation by ALL ACCOUNTS was COMPLETELY out of control in every sense of the word. I reprint here an email received by NewsHawk from someone who was at Woodstock 99.

I was wondering if you have heard anything about the experiments that the government does at PHISH shows.

Recipients-- Someone named William Cooper has let it be known to NewsHawk and system administrators at iname and elsewhere that he is charging me with spamming him and others with unwanted email. unintentionally. We have done our best to constantly update requests for addition to or removal from our list once a day. Until YESTERDAY, July 26, Mr. Cooper was ENGAGED in a DIALOG with use regarding certain factors in the Kennedy/Bessette murders. UNTIL YESTERDAY Mr. Cooper expressed NO DESIRE to be remove from our mailing list. Cooper's name was removed form the list when I went over it at around 9 AM this morning July 27. His campaign of harassment claiming repeated and unintentional spamming by us is completely groundless. Sorry, Bill--remember, it's "supposed" to be a "free" country. (OK; stop laughing, everyone.) Apparently he persuaded the system administrators at iname that I had used the iname account to send UNSOLICITED email to recipients. As Cooper had been in communication with us until EVEN TODAY, this is patently absurd and malicious. Furthermore the guidelines of iname were NOT violated by us as we SEND ALL mass emailings through MCN and only use the iname account for incoming mail. Therefore we did NOT violate the terms of the iname contract. Additionally, the TOTALLY unexplainable, illegal and thoroughly spooky (as a password was needed) "deactivating" of our email account with our ISP at the SAME TIME as Cooper's OVERT harassment reached it's peak can only be considered... curious. As I said draw your own conclusions. I have no idea why this is the case, or even if this person is who he says he is. All requests for addition to or subtraction from our list will be acted upon as soon as humanly possible. Thanks! Best Wishes John Quinn

Recipients-- The harassment being directed against NewsHawk at this point in time is reaching a crescendo of outrageousness. At approximately 10 AM this July 27, both our new "hotmail" account AND our primary email account with our ISP, [EMAIL PROTECTED], were locked up and shut down. Conversations with representatives of my ISP confirmed that someone in possession of the completely secret, confidential password to this email account contacted my ISP and, claiming to be me, had the account "deactivated". The situation was rectified. ISP representatives expressed complete astonishment that such an action could have occurred and were at a total loss to explain it. A brief mention of our recent activities re: the Kennedy and Bessette murders drew the sympathetic response: "looks like you're on someone's dirty list now..." If anyone doesn't believe that WE HAVE HIT UPON THE TRUTH of what happened to JFK Jr., his PREGNANT WIFE and his sister-in-law, TAKE HEED to what is being directed against NewsHawk for what we have done to uncover and PUBLICIZE the truth about the murder of these three people. The United States of America is to SOME degree IN A STATE OF SIEGE AND TAKEOVER AT THIS TIME. Make no mistake about it. Prominent in the campaign of intimidation and harassment being aimed at NewsHawk at this time is someone calling themselves William Cooper. For whatever reasons, this person has let it be known that he is in opposition to efforts to expose the truth of the Kennedy and Bessette deaths.

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] RE: JFK Jr.
From: "Mike Ruppert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I find the NewsHawk report very suspicious. I was being fed almost the exact same information from a source in Britain six days ago. I was being encouraged to print this story in my newsletter, From The Wilderness. I decided not to do so because of "anomalies" in the data. A great deal of effort has gone into trying to make me think that JFK, Jr. was murdered. Visibility was eight miles. John-John was 10 miles out. Approach lights at smaller airports are not activated until the a/c is 2 miles out. Final approach is not begun at 10 miles out. It starts at between two and three miles out once the "outer marker" is passed. JFK, Jr. was in total darkness and he was not instrument rated. I have interview several pilots with several thousand hours as military and commercial instructors. The physics as reported are quite possible if JFK, Jr. had turned the wings sideways or entered a spin, or stalled. In fact, the instructors all told me that such situations are terrifyingly real for newer pilots and that they can happen at any time. Unlike TWA 800, where there is real physical evidence of a Navy shoot down, along with radar tracking showing separation and other trajectories, and that evidence has been seen, there is nothing here but second hand bs. I have spoken to people on-site, seen photos of the evidence in 800. Talked to Jim Sanders with the PETN resin on the seat cover. Here there are anonymous sources, talking about fictitious reports. Yes, particle beams exist. Yes Montauk exists. But there's no evidence that any of that had anything to do with this event. But what really turns me off at the NewsHawk report is that an alleged investigator at the scene digresses into two pages of political analysis. I was an LAPD detective and I have been writing, reading and studying real law enforcement documents, military and intelligence documents for 25 years. I have 25,000 pages of files. No investigator, from any real agency would have included the two different styles of reporting in the same document, nor would an on-site investigator have done anything other than report facts. Period. Somebody bought a big piece of disinformation here. Additionally, having been a Statewide press spokesman for a Presidential campaign (Perot 92 - whom I no longer support), having good political sources and knowing something about politics I find the statements about JFK, Jr. running for Pres. patently ludicrous. He has never held elective office once, has no political experience and much family baggage that Perot did not have. Rumors of that plan, if it existed, would have surfaced already. Throughout his life he shunned political issues and Jackie had almost raised him on the notion that politics was out, over, bad. He lived that way. If JFK. Jr. was murdered it is not proved or even strongly supported by this shabby document. I'll keep my mind open and I am most qualified to talk about these things. I am no friend of NWO and certainly not of the people who killed JFK, Sr. My dues and my credentials are solid. I just need to call bs when I see it. When I see something convincing I will support it.

Excerpts from FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE RECOVERY OF PIPER SARATOGA AIRCRAFT OF JOHN F. KENNEDY, Jr. 1. No declassification until 7/22/2029. 2. This is in deference to the wishes of a senior member of the Kennedy family. 3. Also in deference to the order of the national government and in respect to certain foreign intelligence agencies having reciprocal agreements with the U.S. 4. POTUS order and national security findings attached. 5. The recovered aircraft shows evidence of an explosive device having been glued or affixed within the tail luggage compartment. 6. Device was apparently actuated by a barometric trigger. Radio signals not ruled out. 7. Tail of aircraft was dismembered from the plane making it front heavy. 8. Study of radar shows the plane fell in excess of 6,000 feet per minute up to radar cutoff. 9. Satellite images supplied by the National Reconnaissance Office record an outbursting flash from the aircraft just prior to it going into perpendicular descent. 10. Tail structure was dismembered just prior to descent. 11. Recovery of a piece of luggage from beyond the flight path of the aircraft correlates with it being hurtled out of the tail luggage compartment at outburst. 12. Preliminary examination of the aircraft shows residue of an explosive device the Laboratory identifies as being the type used by certain foreign intelligence agencies. Refer to POTUS order and findings. 13. Study of Air Traffic Control and other radio signals shows no Mayday report from the aircraft, explained by rapidity of descent. 14. Investigation and examination has been strictly compartmentalized. 15. A short, perfunctory examination of the recovered bodies was completed. Examination revealed that Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was in third trimester pregnant, the fetus a boy. The four bodies were transferred to a senior member of the Kennedy family. The Bureau was not informed whether the bodies were actually cremated. Indirect advisories report that the bodies may have been shipped in untagged containers to foreign destinations. Reliable assets are to submit reports.

[CTRL] Merovingian Bloodlines
-Caveat Lector- This explains a thing or two about the Egyptian pyramid rituals folks. Regards, Nicky -Original Message- From: RAVEON19 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, 28 July 1999 3:48 Subject: [TheEagle-L] - Merovingian Bloodlines Hi Nicki, I suggest you read " Be wise as serpents " this explains how the Mormon leadership ties back to the Merovingian bloodline - the 13th Satanic bloodline ( European Royalty ) 33 of your presidents btw. I suggest you should also study ALL the bloodlines : http://www.islandnet.com/~persewen/bloodline_index.htm From : http://www.islandnet.com/~persewen/merovingian_bloodline.htm The Merovingian Bloodline This page has been prepared to provide some type of table of contents to the various items which will be included in this chapter "The Thirteenth Satanic Bloodline". In my writings this bloodline has been interwoveni into the text of many articles, but It hasnt been singled out very much. Although a great deal has been mitten by this author on this final family, to pull out articles which concentrate on it solely is difficult. After assembling some pages on it, a few words of explanation were still needed. Allow me to briefly explain those items which were selected: · An article on the top family that appeared in Feb. 95 newsletter on page 73. · An appendix to the Be Wise As Serpents book about the British Royalty. The British Royalty are tied in with the 13th Bloodline. · Many of the American political leaders have been related to the British Royalty incl. George Bush and Dan Quayle. A flier from a Christian conference is Included showing who the speakers are. · Finally, a little of the genealogical information I assembled on the Mormon leaden is given. This was included in the Be Wise As Serpents book to give people an idea of how the Mormon leadenhip ties back in with the leading occult bloodlines of the Merovingian dynasty. The chart for LDS President Albert Smith is only about 1/3 typed out. The remainder of Albert Smiths (as well as other Mormon leaden) genealogical work is in a file in some unknown box at my house. This bloodline is harder to track because it weaves in and out of the other 12 bloodlines. There are many surnames which are part of this bloodline (Including the Smith family), however I can give one very prominent one, the Sinclair family. We know that Satan is the father of all lies, and Christ told the religions leaden who went out to destroy him that they were from the seed of Satan. · 2nd Feature Article--THE 13TH ILLUMINATI BLOODLINE. The 13th Illuminati Bloodline is where the Anti-Christ will come from. This bloodline believes that it has both the Holy Blood of Jesus and the blood (or seed) of Satan in its bloodline. In my Be Wise As Serpents book, I make reference to this bloodline but I never really took the time to explain it completely. In fact I dont fully understand this bloodline myself. I encourage those who want to learn more about this bloodline to study the following books: Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Lincoln, Leigh Balgent The Messianic Legacy TheTemple the Lodge Crusaders of the Grail by J.R. Church The Anti-Christ King--Juan Carlos by Dr. Charles R. Taylor This bloodline is so extensive in its many branches that its membership takes in many of the Presidents of the United States, including George Hush and George Washington. The reason that I gave the geneologies of the some of the Mormon Presidents to people back in 1991 in my Be Wise As Serpents book is that all of the Mormon Presidents in history, whether RLDS or LDS, trace their blood back to this 13th bloodline. Within the Illuminati rituals, the emphasis of the 13th bloodline is that they are the seed of Satan. As their secret story goes, they are the direct descendents of Jesuss spiritual brother Lucifer. Since the Freeman family and the Rothschild family have members who are also in the 13th bloodlIne, It is unclear to me how interwoven the "seed of Satan" is. Some of the earilest attempts to trace the seed of Satan were some books which did extensive research on the Tribe of Dan and the decendents of Cain. The Curse of Canaan is an interesting book along with its mate World Order by Eustice Mullins. One of the books which I looked with difficulty for before finding it, was Gerald Masseys A Book of the Beginning (Secaucus, NJ: University Books, Inc., 1974.) The book goes in and shows in detail how the inhabitants of the British Isles came originally from Egypt. This is Important because (as this newsletter has always contended) the Druidism of the British Isles was simply a derivative from the Egyptian Satanic witchcraft/magic of Ancient Egypt. The Egyptian word Makhaut (clan or family) became the the Irish Maccu and the Maccu of the Donalds (clan of Donalds) now reflected in the name MacDonald. The sacred keepers of the Clan-Stone in Arran, were also known by the family name of

-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, 28 July 1999 8:43 Subject: Request for submissions Hello, This is Jim Keith, editor of Secret and Suppressed; author of Mind Control, World Control; Casebook on the Men in Black, and other books. I'm currently working on a conspiracy anthology that will be published by Illuminet Press. The theme is, loosely, millennium conspiracy, i.e. conspiracy and related stories of high significance at this time, the turn of the century. I'm looking particularly for GREAT original articles, preferably with one or more photos/illustrations (w/permission to print). Articles on topics that have never been covered before, or that have insider knowledge and incredible revelations about conspiracies we already know about are particularly favored. Interviews of significance are also okay, although I'm not looking for profiles or interviews with the leading lights of conspiracy. Although the themes of the books are not identical, you might want to take a look at my Secret and Suppressed anthology (available from Feral House) to get a very loose sense of subjects and approaches I'm interested in. I'm going to be pretty brutal about rejections in the sense that I only want excellent articles in the completed book -- so don't be hurt if I turn down an article or idea. Truth to tell, I'm pretty disappointed by most of what passes as conspiracy writing these days, and I am hoping to hit a new high water mark on this topic. Mere speculation that Littleton was a CIA MKULTRA job or that JFKJr. was murdered won't get it. Most concepts will be turned down, unfortunately, but the final product, I hope, will make it all worthwhile. If you would like to participate in this project, you need to move on it pretty fast. Don't start writing, but run your idea for an article by me first, at which point I'll give you a 'no' or a go-ahead to submit. Feel free to spread this request for submissions around to others whom you think might be interested in participating in the project. Looking forward to hearing from you.

[CTRL] Fwd: (en) DRAFT of proposal for the November 30th global day of action
A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C E http://www.ainfos.ca/ A draft of proposal for the November 30th global day of action, forwarded from the NO2WTO list. DRAFT ONLY - DRAFT ONLY - DRAFT ONLY No-WTO November 30th has been launched as the next global day of action in the J18 style. We - a group of 14 people - have now taken a draft of a proposal through a lengthy feed-back process, and we present the result below as a draft for discussion on this list. Please notice that this is just a draft for a November 30th proposal. It is not a finalised proposal. We submit it here to see if it has got broad and earnest support by J18ers generally. Concrete proposals for adjustments are very welcome. If no massive objections arise, we should begin to launch and push this draft, possibly with some minor adjustments, as the "official" proposal for the November 30th global day of action. If j18ers do not/cannot support this proposal, as now drafted, it is very important that we all get to know this, before we start spending time pushing it at the global level. We need to decide about this as soon as possible (within a few days), and our decision should very much depend on the sort of response that the present draft now receives on this list. Also, we need people around the world to translate the proposal into various languages, as many as possible as soon as possible. Already, people have offered to translate it into Bengali, Bosnian, Castilian/Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish. Please consider translating the proposal into some language you know, if it is not mentioned among these. Thomas Johansson DRAFT ONLY DRAFT ONLY DRAFT ONLY ["X" means that detailed information is still missing and will be inserted eventually.] -- Enthuse, discuss, promote, ACT - let our resistance be as transnational as capital! November 30th - International Day of Action An international day of action, resistance, and carnival against the global capitalist system will take place on NOVEMBER 30th this year. This day coincides with the 3rd ministerial conference of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Seattle, where officials from more than 150 governments around the world will decide on new policies that will further escalate the exploitation of our planet and its people by the global capitalist system. The November 30th global day of action against capitalism is intended to build on the June 18th global day of action that took place earlier this year, when separate grassroots movements in more than 30 countries on all six continents worked together and joined forces locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. These included workers, the unemployed, students, trade unionists, peasants, women groups, ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, peace activists, environmental activists, ecologists and many more. They prepared and co-ordinated their actions in recognition that the capitalist system, based on the exploitation of people, societies and the environment for the profit of a few, is the primary cause of our social and ecological troubles. Some of the actions that took place include 10 000 people on the streets of Nigeria protesting the oil industry and imperialism, marches by Bangladesh garment workers, a fake trade fair by Uruguayan activists, thousands of people taking part in a carnival and day long actions with police assaults on protesters eventually ending in substantial damage to the capitalist infrastructure of London's financial district, occupations and street parties in Spain, Italy, USA, and Canada, a prominent politician hit with a cream pie and a logging multinational blockaded with dead wombats in Melbourne, among many other creative actions. For more information, see www.infoshop.org/june18.html and www.j18.org. We are now putting out this call for November 30th as a next global day of action against the oppressive economic and political institutions of the capitalist system. We hope to see communities and individuals across the globe stage creative actions, protests, and carnivals on this day, while opposing and transforming the capitalist social order in the streets, neighbourhoods, fields, factories, offices, commercial centres, and financial districts in their respective countries, all in the spirit of building new social and economic structures based on co-operation, ecological sustainability, and grassroots democracy. This call is made in the spirit of continuing the process of building up a strong international grassroots movement. For as we realise that no issue is single, be it exploitation of workers, the peasant farmers

[CTRL] Fwd: THE SCOOP: Jerry Springer for Senate
Better then DeW(h)ine! The Scoop - http://www.bobharris.com/ New subscribers: thanks for joining up. Yes, the column really is free, and you're encouraged to forward it to friends. That's how our readership grows. Everybody: we think we got the bugs out of the streaming video and audio on the website. Let us know, OK? Thanks! bh THE SCOOP for July 26, 1999 ___ Jerry Springer For Senate Or Rob Lowe Or Luke Perry, Whichever © 1999 Bob Harris http://www.bobharris.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ I passed Jerry Springer on the stairs in a hotel the other night. I didn't break stride. There were other people around I wanted to meet a lot more. Now I realize this may have been the closest I'll ever come to a U.S. president. ___ Last week, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that several Ohio Democratic Party leaders are lobbying for Jerry Springer to run against GOP Senator Mike DeWine in 2000. This is the sort of creative idea that political strategists normally term "thinking out of the box." Especially if the box happens to be in your ass. Let's back up. Prior to DeWine, the seat was securely in Democratic control for a generation, occupied by Howard Metzenbaum, who retired in 1994. In that year, the Democrats ran Joel Hyatt, Metzenbaum's son-in-law, who had became rich and locally famous as one of those attorneys who do TV ads in front of a bunch of books so they look all legal and everything. Hyatt lost. Big shock. However, since DeWine only got 53 percent of the vote, and Ohioans voted for Clinton twice, Democratic leaders hope that a relatively rich and famous candidate might be able do the trick in 2000. The only problem? They ain't got any. What they do have is a Columbus lawyer named Richard Corday, who is a smart guy and fine fundraiser but nonetheless ran for Ohio Attorney General last year and got the polling equivalent of a chair upside the head from the GOP's Betty Montgomery. Besides which, Corday has never once goaded a lesbian white supremacist into cross-checking a transsexual nun. Thus the job might fall to Jerry. ___ Last week, Jerry, I, half of the comedy industry, and several hundred thousand revelers all came to Montreal for the annual Just For Laughs festival, in which many of the finest comedians on Earth perform for over a week at venues throughout the city. Each night's crowning event is an all-star Gala held at the gorgeous St. Denis Theatre. For publicity's sake, the Just For Laughs folks get the biggest names they can to host the Galas, whether they have comedy experience or not. Luke Perry hosted one night. So did Rob Lowe. And so did Jerry Springer. And that's how come Jerry and I passed on the stairs in the Delta hotel. ___ I didn't know then about the Ohio Democrats' plans, and even if I had stopped to ask Jerry about his possible candidacy, he probably wouldn't have said much. "I am obviously flattered and honored by the interest," Springer said in a written statement. "I respect the seriousness of their inquiry and will respond in a timely, sincere and appropriate manner." Obviously, the man is a natural politician. In two sentences, he uses the words "honor," "respect," "serious," "sincere," and "appropriate." Which almost makes you forget it's Jerry Springer you're listening to. Almost. ___ So who is Jerry Springer, anyway? This much we know: Elected to the Cincinnati City Council in 1971, Springer later resigned in disgrace after getting caught paying for a Kentucky prostitute with a personal check. (Incidentally, forget Vegas. All the best hookers work in Kentucky.) Springer apologized, wiped off, was eventually reelected to the City Council, and ultimately became mayor of Cincinnati in 1977. However, in the 1982 Ohio gubernatiorial primary, Springer placed last among three candidates, earning only 20 percent of the vote. Thus unable to continue in what we laughingly call public service, Springer turned to the only career left that would keep him in the public eye: in 1984, he became a Cincinnati news commentator. In short order, Springer became the Tri-State area's top-ranked news anchor, receiving seven local Emmys, a raise from Mr. Carlson, and a firm handshake from Herb the sales guy. However, Jerry was sadly unable to talk Jennifer the receptionist into a three-way with Venus. (Incidentally, http://www.wlwt.com, the website for the actual station where Springer really did win seven Emmys, takes this unforgiving shot: "#1 status was enjoyed by WLWT for nearly five years until Jerry Springer began his talk show and lost his news credibility with the viewers." Sounds like they're still pissed.) Then Multimedia came knocking with an idea for a TV show ___ But what if Jerry won't or can't run for office? What will Ohio Democrats do then?

-Caveat Lector- Proud to be an American ? I used to be proud that I lived in the world's first constitutional republic, Now I am told it is a "democracy", the final step before a dictatorship. I used to be proud that this nation was an example of right for all to follow, Now I am ashamed to call myself an American because of our decline into wrong. I used to be proud that we had a free nation of law, under GOD, Now we are a nation of "public policy", under bankruptcy to international bankers. I used to be proud that I was born free and lived in Michigan state, a geographical area, Now I am told it is a corporate "State of Michigan", and I am subject to its statutes, codes and laws. I used to be proud that the citizenry knew their rights and where they came from, Now most believe that they only have privileges granted them by the all powerful corporate state. I used to be proud when I knew juries and grand juries stood against bad laws and judges, Now they are nothing more than a prosecutorial tool of the prosecutors and judges. I used to be proud of the education standards of our schools and university's, Now there are courses taught like 28 ways to shake hands and advanced basket weaving. I used to be proud of my honorable military service in time of war, Now I know the people were, and are, constantly lied to about the causes and prisoners of that war. I used to be proud when I saw a person in most any uniform on our streets, Now I fear for my safety because that person does not have me or my nation's security as his goal. I used to be proud when I saw the "United States" (No yellow fringe) flag flying in our state, Now I see it as the symbol of a fearsome, manipulated, foreign corporation that is anti-American people. I used to be proud to assert my right to vote for the statesman of choice, Now it matters not for whom or even if I vote, as politicians, mostly lawyers, are bought and paid for. I used to be proud of the people at my local media for reporting truth, justice and all the news, Now it is controlled by the "editor" who censures it so that people cannot make fully informed decisions. I used to be proud when I paid my fair share in taxes to support my government, Now I am aware none of that money goes to support our government. I used to be proud that one qualification to become a police officer was local residency, Now the applicant must be a "citizen or resident of the United States", which is a foreign corporation. I used to be proud that I had the freedom to travel without fear most anywhere in this nation, Now I worry when I see a policeman, lest I be caught breaking some edict of government and be jailed. I used to be proud that all our government guarded my privacy as one of its main jobs, Now its main job is nothing less than the invasion and abolition of the privacy of all of the citizenry. I used to be proud that I maintained my home and land well, Now I dare not improve it because I may not be able to afford the tax increase. I used to be proud to enter most any neighborhood in this nation to visit friends or family, Now I fear doing so lest it be a "known" drug or crime area and my car be confiscated. I used to be proud that I had been called to serve for jury duty, Now I avoid the courts as just another "business for profit" in the law enforcement industry. I used to be proud that my neighbor's were watchful of my lands and property, Now I fear they could be the cause of its forfeiture for some victimless, mala prohibita crime. I used to be proud that I had a right to responsibly own, possess and use "arms", Now those actions are being used to label me as "anti-government", or "militia", "terrorist", or worse. I used to be proud to stand up and be counted as a loud voice on numerous issues, Now I hesitate to do so, should I, or my family, become targets of ignorant vindictiveness. I used to be proud that I could read, study, and live, my religion's teachings, Now if I do so, I am falsely branded as "white supremacist", "anti-Semitic", "radical", "racist", or worse. I used to be proud that I did not need government identification for all personal interactions, Now I fear that a national identification document for all transactions is law in the land. I used to be proud that I could say or write most anything, with responsibility, Now if I speak or write freely, expressing unpopular views, I am called a "paper terrorist" or worse. I used to be proud that I could teach my children my religion's moral views and ways, Now, if I do so, I may be charged with the crime of teaching religion without training and a license. I used to be proud that my children were properly punished when they did wrong, Now I fear to do so because I might be charged with "child abuse". I used to be proud to let my children learn by doing things for themselves, Now if I do so I may be charged with "child neglect". I used to be proud that my spouse and I had a marriage license, believing it was required, Now
[CTRL] Fwd: +Martha's Vineyard Times-WITNESS TO AIRBORNE EXPLOSION
Recipients-- Here is an INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT news article from the Martha's Vineyard Times naming one of the several witnesses to an AIRBORNE EXPLOSION southwest of Philbin Beach at the time of the JFK JR plane crash. The witness Victor Pribanic distinctly and clearly heard the explosion and knows that it was MUCH CLOSER than the SEVENTEEN miles out to sea that "official" "investigators' have said the plane went down. In fact the position and location of the cause of the explosion heard by Pribanic was much more like the TEN miles from shore that Kennedy HIMSELF noted as his location WHEN HE RADIOED THE AIRPORT AT 9:39, as reported by UPI, WCVB-TV Boston, ABC News and confirmed by airport administrators. Again, this radio call was made AFTER the time investigators are now claiming Kennedy's flight was in serious trouble... according to their conveniently and "recently discovered" phony radar evidence. The UNQUESTIONABLE fact of the time of Kennedy's radio contact INVALIDATES COMPLETELY all such claims of distress being shown on radar by Kennedy's plane To quote directly from the article in the Martha's Vineyard Times: "Mr. Pribanic said he was concerned when he learned that the search area was 17 miles west of the Vineyard. He said he was convinced from the sound he heard that the area was much closer and within a short distance of Nomans Land" (a small island off the southwest coast of the Vineyard used for ARTILLERY PRACTICE until a few years ago!) The other two people who DID witness such an explosion at the same time are noted in articles by UPI and by WCVB-TV Boston AND ABC News as a reporter for the Vineyard Gazette: AND another; a guest at the Kennedy wedding who was on Philbin Beach or nearby at this same time and both saw and heard the same explosion. This guest was mentioned repeatedly by Shepherd Smith of FOX-TV on live broadcasts Saturday morning July 17, who identified the witness as a friend of his (Smith's) producer. Please add the Martha's Vineyard Times email address to the media email list. [EMAIL PROTECTED] John Quinn/NewsHawk Inc. Here is this vitally important article in full: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fisherman At Squibnocket Friday Heard "Loud Crash" Toward Nomans Land. http://mvtimes.com/witness.htm By Nelson Sigelman Victor Pribanic said he heard a loud "explosion -like sound" while fishing on Friday evening, July 16. By Nelson Sigelman A fisherman standing on Squibnocket Point in Chilmark Friday night heard "a loud explosion-like sound" from the direction of Nomans Land, where the search for the plane containing John Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, is now concentrated. Victor Pribanic, 45, of Pittsburgh, spoke with local and state police Saturday morning after learning of the disappearance of the plane piloted by Mr. Kennedy. That information was passed on immediately to Federal Aviation Administration officials and the United States Coast Guard. State police Sgt. Jeff Stone said the beach to the west of where Mr. Pribanic was fishing "was the area where some of the items washed up." Sergeant Stone said police were aware of several reports from people who reported low-flying planes or unusual noises that night. On Sunday, West Tisbury police chief Beth Toomey took Mr. Pribanic to meet with police up-Island so he could describe where he was fishing and what he heard. But other than meeting with local and state police officials, he had not been contacted by any other investigators. Attempts to learn whether officials with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is now handling the investigation, or the Coast Guard had adjusted the search recovery effort based on any of the reports, or why they did not speak with Mr. Pribanic, were unsuccessful. On Monday all calls were referred to a "joint information" telephone number at Otis air base on the Cape. But the official who answered the telephone told a reporter from The Martha's Vineyard Times that questions could only be asked by attending a press briefing scheduled for 5 pm that afternoon. Asked by a reporter at the briefing if there were any witnesses, Robert Pearce, the lead NTSB investigator, said there were no reports of any witnesses. Sergeant Stone said the fact that there were no actual eyewitnesses and that Mr. Pribanic was uncertain of what he heard and the specific time he heard it, could have accounted for the NTSB response. "He just wanted to pass it on in the hope that it was helpful," said Sergeant Stone. Mr. Pribanic also told local police he watched the lights of a plane that was flying fast and at a very low altitude, "on the deck," sometime earlier in the evening. Mr. Pribanic said he did not think the two were related because it is not unusual for pilots to fly low along the south shore of the Island. He said the plane was flying from an easterly direction but was at the limit of his visibility that

Anyone who has followed the subjects of covert and/or "black" projects operated by our friendly "shadow" government would be well aware that military facilities and bases are OFTEN sites for ultra-classified research and experimentation of a shockingly unethical, inhuman/inhumane and generally flat-out MALEVOLENT AND MALICIOUS nature. Many such bases have massive underground facilities which remain in operation AFTER the surface installation has been decommissioned and/or "shuttered". Prominent among the fields "researched" by these sociopathic Nazi-oriented creeps at such installations is mind control--implemented by a wide variety of techniques and tactics. We find it very odd that the latest Woodstock "festival" was held on the grounds of the decommissioned Griffis Air Force Base in New York. New York's Air Force facilities have along and wretched history as being hotshots for mind control experimentation of a most outrageous sort. Many such bases remain in some level of operation with regard to the highly classified mind control programs noted. How interesting then, that the music festival held on the Griffis AFB grounds erupted into a fiery, uncontrollable riot at the conclusion of the 3 day event, with hundreds if not thousands of youngsters going completely wacky in an orgy of destruction, looting, violence and general all around mayhem. Most FORTUNATELY there were no serious injuries or deaths--however, the situation by ALL ACCOUNTS was COMPLETELY out of control in every sense of the word. I reprint here an email received by NewsHawk from someone who was at Woodstock 99. What they had to say, in particular with regard to the == I came across your Columbine articles and read your bio and about your connections with the music community. I was wondering if you have heard anything about the experiments that the government does at PHISH shows. There are rumors flying that the government pushes in acid and shrooms into the scene and hits the crowds with massive amounts of elf waves while the band uses certain tones and patterns in the music to put the crowd into a hypnotic trance. In 96 they started having huge summer festivals and you won't be surprised to know that the 1st one was held on the Plattsburg base which I attended. They did 2 others festivals on Loring air force base in maine. which is famous for ufo sightings. when I read a couple days after the shooting that Eric Harris lived there I immediately made the connection and knew that something was up with Columbine. You probably don't have the time to really research this but I was just wondering if you had heard anything. Just to tell you a little bit about myself I live in Denver, about 10 min from Columbine, but I grew up in up NY State right next to GRIFFIS AFB. I came back for Woodstock 99 and saw some really strange stuff. They had radar dishes directed at the crowds and one of the larger radar stations which is at the entrance to the base was very much active. peace, dan DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

I'm currently working on a conspiracy anthology that will be published by Illuminet Press. The theme is, loosely, millennium conspiracy, i.e. conspiracy and related stories of high significance at this time, the turn of the century. I'm looking particularly for GREAT original articles, preferably with one or more photos/illustrations (w/permission to print). Articles on topics that have never been covered before, or that have insider knowledge and incredible revelations about conspiracies we already know about are particularly favored. Interviews of significance are also okay, although I'm not looking for profiles or interviews with the leading lights of conspiracy. Although the themes of the books are not identical, you might want to take a look at my Secret and Suppressed anthology (available from Feral House) to get a very loose sense of subjects and approaches I'm interested in. I'm going to be pretty brutal about rejections in the sense that I only want excellent articles in the completed book -- so don't be hurt if I turn down an article or idea. Truth to tell, I'm pretty disappointed by most of what passes as conspiracy writing these days, and I am hoping to hit a new high water mark on this topic. Mere speculation that Littleton was a CIA MKULTRA job or that JFKJr. was murdered won't get it. Most concepts will be turned down, unfortunately, but the final product, I hope, will make it all worthwhile. If you would like to participate in this project, you need to move on it pretty fast. Don't start writing, but run your idea for an article by me first, at which point I'll give you a 'no' or a go-ahead to submit. Feel free to spread this request for submissions around to others whom you think might be interested in participating in the project. Looking forward to hearing from you.

His forthcoming book is "Gangster Cops: The Hidden Cost of America's War on Drugs." DRUG PEACE FOR A NEW MILLENNIUM? A Century Of Prohibition Has Not Worked The federal budget for the drug war in the first year of the new millennium is $17 billion.In 1972 when President Richard Nixon first called for a "war against drugs," the federal drug-law enforcement budget was about $101 million. It is difficult for most of us to comprehend what these numbers mean. But the true magnitude of cost can be understood if we consider that in 1972, the average monthly Social Security retirement check was $177. If Social Security benefits had increased at the same rate as drug-war spending, the monthly benefits would now be $30,444 a month. Similarly, the average 1972 salary of $114 per week would have soared to $19,608 a week. What have we got for our money? President Clinton assures us we are winning, as did his predecessors. Yet, for good reason, people in law enforcement and local communities are unconvinced. Although it appears that casual illegal drug use has declined in recent years, regular use has not. And young people are increasingly using drugs and at an earlier age. Furthermore, the decline in casual drug use may be unrelated to the war on drugs. Cigarette smoking, and consumption of hard liquor and high cholesterol food, all as dangerous as illegal drug use, declined because of greater awareness of health dangers, not because consumers were jailed or because the government reduced the supply of these substances. During the past decade, opium production has more than doubled in Southeast Asia and cocaine production also increased. Eighty to 90 percent of illegal drugs shipped to this country arrive undetected. Illegal drugs are cheaper and more potent. The United States, indeed the world, is awash in illegal drugs. The vast profits resulting from prohibition a mark-up as great as 17,000 percent - have led to worldwide corruption of public officials and widespread violence among drug traffickers and dealers that endangers whole communities, cities, and nations. The United Nations reports that there is a $500 billion international black market in drugs. In our own country, drug-related overdose deaths and drug emergency room visits have increased. Half of seniors in high school report using an illegal drug and 85 percent of them say illegal drugs are easier to obtain than beer. As we approach the year 2000, we should be mindful that the drug war started about 100 years ago.Protestant missionaries in China and other religious groups joined with temperance organizations in convincing Congress that drugs were evil, and that drug users were dangerous, immoral people. On Dec. 17, 1914, the religious groups got their version of sin outlawed in the Harrison Act. Until this federal law, the nation had viewed drug use as a social and medical dilemma. Making possession of drugs a federal crime was a radical change in policy. It certainly did not solve the drug problem, but it did give birth to unanticipated social damage. I was a policeman for 35 years of this century. As a beat officer in New York's Harlem, and as police chief in Kansas City and San Jose, I caused many drug users to be locked up. I have come to believe that jailing people simply because they put certain chemicals into their bloodstream is a gross misuse of police and criminal law. Jailing drug users does not lessen drug use, and incarceration usually destroys the person's life and does immense harm to that person's family and neighborhood. Non-whites have borne the brunt of the punishment even though most drug use is by whites. Alfred Blumstein, former president of the American Society of Criminologists, described the drug war as "...an assault on the Africa-American community." The current protests over racial profiling by the police are a reflection of the damage that an ill-chosen law enforcement war against drugs has on the ability of the police to win the cooperation that they need to do their job. Because drug transactions are consensual, the police do not have a victim, witnesses and physical evidence that helps them solve crimes like murder, assault, robbery, rape and burglary. And under the Fourth Amendment, the police, with few exceptions, are not allowed to search people or their homes without a warrant. Yet, last year, state and local police in the United States made
[CTRL] SEC Votes to Shut Down Brokerage Firms Unprepared for Y2K
-Caveat Lector- SEC Votes to Shut Down Brokerage Firms Unprepared for Y2K 1.28 p.m. ET (1728 GMT) July 27, 1999 Reuters WASHINGTON Federal securities regulators will go to court starting Dec. 1 to shut down brokerage firms that are not ready for the Year 2000, under new rules adopted Tuesday. The Securities and Exchange Commission voted, 5-0, to approve the rules. They set a target date of Aug. 31 for brokerage firms to complete their Year 2000 compliance efforts but allow additional time for unprepared firms to show that they will be ready no later than Nov. 15. "Any firm that cannot achieve Y2K compliance in a timely fashion will be required to cease doing business by Dec. 1," SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt said before the vote. "A few firms' lack of readiness could have adverse consequences for countless others," Levitt said. "We simply cannot allow firms to continue to operate if they threaten the integrity of the system, or if they are not able to assure customers' access to their funds and securities." Richard Walker, the agency's enforcement director, said the regulators would go into federal courts starting Dec. 1 seeking injunctions forcing the unprepared brokerage firms to cease operations and notify their customers. He said the regulators expect they will only have to go after "a few" problem firms. The SEC estimates that only 1 percent or so of the 3,900 brokerage firms covered by the new rules will be unprepared for the millennial date change. Concerns about the Jan. 1, 2000, date stem from the fact that some computer systems may read only the last two digits of a four-digit year and interpret the year 2000 as 1900, potentially wreaking havoc on financial transactions. The new rules also apply to the 600 or so transfer agents that are not banks. Transfer agents are responsible for keeping records of shareholders of corporations and for issuing or canceling stock certificates when shares are bought and sold. The SEC has said failure of transfer agents to anticipate and fix Year 2000 computer problems could seriously disrupt corporations' dividend payments and other transactions with their shareholders. The market watchdog agency also requires mutual fund companies and publicly traded corporations to disclose their readiness. In the federal government's first major enforcement action related to the Year 2000 problem, the SEC charged 37 relatively small brokerage firms last October with failing to fully disclose the state of their computer readiness. Some of the firms agreed to settle the charges by promising to refrain from such violations in the future, being censured and paying civil penalties ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. In January, the SEC accused nine transfer agents of allegedly failing to adequately disclose their readiness. Five of the agent companies settled the charges and four contested them.

[CTRL] PR experts preparing to spin-doctor Y2K
-Caveat Lector- 7/27 15:11 ET PR experts preparing to spin-doctor Y2K NEW YORK (Reuters) - Worried about what Y2K will do to your computer, fuel bills, credit-card accounts and bank deposits? Don't worry. Some of the nation's top image-making firms are preparing to ease your fears -- to explain them away or make you forget them. It's a byproduct of what many American corporations are calling ''crisis preparedness.'' Two of America's largest public-relations agencies, Burson-Marsteller and Hill and Knowlton, have set up teams and processes to help companies counter consumer fears and intensified media stress on the perils of computers unable to cope with the shift to the year 2000. But some may wonder: is the Y2K frenzy already only a simple case of too much hype leading to an awful letdown? Christopher P.A. Komisarjevsky, chief executive officer of Burson-Marsteller Worldwide, does not seem concerned by that possibility. '`No one knows what will happen,'' he said, ``but we see heightened interest and concern about it. It's both a technological and a perception issue. We see volatile moves among consumers, like hoarding water and food, hiding their cash and so on while the media reintensifies the issue, especially as we get closer to the end of the year. ``Companies that never got questioned about their methods will be barraged by the media and will have to respond to them, to customers, vendors and others. That's where we can help.'' Even those who may be skeptical surely recognize the Y2K hysteria that has gripped business and the public. Many banks, utilities and others have already assured their customers that they are taking steps to avert any problems come Jan. 1, 2000. However, in recent weeks, some airlines have announced no flights on New Year's Eve. At least one major company has pulled an advertisement on Y2K, fearing it would lead to more questions than answers. Companies have spent billions of dollars preparing their computers to recognize the year 2000 instead of reading it as 1900 or freezing up. Aggressive insurance companies have offered policies covering possible computer glitches, and some are already being sued by corporate customers to recoup money spent on preventive repairs. A rash of suits from consumers and advocacy groups is expected as the public finds itself anxious over potential electronic interruptions in basic services. Early in July, Congress passed a bill shielding businesses from computer-related suits by giving companies 90 days to fix Y2K problems before a suit can be filed. Whether this will curb litigation is hard to say. Hill and Knowlton aims in its new program to ``prepare business in continuity planning, in case, say, a payroll goes down, the company can properly communicate with its employees or to exert damage-control in many other ways,'' said Michael Van Dusen, HK's senior vice president responsible for global Y2K activity. ``We will work in teams, pulling together from 45 to 50 people in such of our practices as advanced technology and crisis communications.'' Van Dusen said he expects the most interest in the project to come from companies in telecommunications, finance, health care, food and auto parts. At Burson-Marsteller, Komisarjevsky said, ``We believe that Y2K has the potential to be a major disruption for companies dealing with the public even if not a single computer malfunctions on New Year's Day. That's because the 'millennium bug' is no longer just a problem of technology but one of perception, too.'' Noting that ``irrational behavior'' can disrupt fourth-quarter business and hurt profits at thousands of companies, he said, ``the solution lies in guiding public perceptions and creating informed opinion now rather than letting uninformed opinion take the upper hand in coming months. That's where we come in.'' Komisarjevsky added that 24 ``communications command centers'' have been set up domestically and abroad to provide communications help between Dec. 31 and Jan. 3. Burson-Marsteller will get its revenues from the project in either of two ways -- by charging existing clients for staff time to help them with Y2K issues or, in the case of new clients, it will charge a fixed fee. Hill and Knowlton is offering its program as a ``value-added'' or additional service to clients, rather than as a separate service, Van Dusen said. ``I think what the agencies are doing is a valid effort,'' said Fraser Seitel, a public relations consultant and author of a standard college text on the subject. Asked whether the Y2K issue is perhaps being overdone, he responded: ``Well, many consultants have gotten rich helping corporations to get their systems arranged. But it's clearly a perception problem, too. If Armageddon looms, you have to be prepared for it. It's an extension of crisis preparedness.'' As more public relations agencies, advertising agencies and marketing consultants join in the spin-doctoring effort, it could conceivably breed

A.D. 999: An atmosphere close to panic prevails today throughout Europe as the millennial year 1000 approaches, bringing with it the so-called "Y1K Bug," a menace which, until recently, hardly anyone had ever heard of. Prophets of doom are warning that the entire fabric of Western Civilization, based as it now is upon monastic computations, could collapse, and that there is simply not enough time left to fix the problem. Just how did this disaster-in-the-making ever arise?

Every formulaic hymn, prayer, ceremony and incantation dealing with dated events will have to be re-written to accommodate three extra syllables. All tabular chronologies with three-space year columns, maintained for generations by scribes using carefully hand-ruled lines on vellum sheets, will now have to be converted to four-space columns, at enormous cost. In the meantime, the validity of every official event, from baptisms to burials, from confirmations to coronations, may be called into question. "We should have seen it coming," says Brother Cedric of St. Michael Abbey, here in Canterbury. "What worries me most is that THOUSAND contains the word THOU, which occurs in nearly all our prayers, and of course always refers to God.

Re: [CTRL] Bush's Fund-Raising Opens Huge Disparity
-Caveat Lector- Does anyone else get the impression that the Presidentcy goes to the one with the most campaign money? I can't help believing that Bush "raised" this huge amount in record time without the "more than generous" contributions from big corporations who just, just may want something in return should he be elected. I mean, c'mon! This is so obvious,the big business boys and those who really do control the country,ie:Federal Reserve,CFR,and all those other self-serving organizations who really don't give a damn about the people of this country or the world for that matter. I implore all who plan to vote in the coming election to please, please research this spoiled brat before you throw your vote away and let the so-ccalled government deprive us of more of our constitutional rights, and take us as individuals, deeper in debt to the banks that control this country. We are headed deeper into the scam the government sucked us into when they let the money minting fall into ,private hands,and out of government control.( Look it up! The Federal Reserve Bank is not Federal, it's a PRIVATE run organization!) By electing Bush, you allow them to continue to take away more and more from American citizens.Just look at this guys record, I mean really do some research, then ask yourself if this guy belongs in the Whitehouse! He should not even be let in as a guest or visitor! If none of the other candidates agree with you, then "write in" your own choice. Show the powers that be that we will not stand for their scams anymore. We don't want pre-selected candidates from these "behind the scenes" scam artists! Do yourself and the rest of the country some justice, 'cause you won't get it from the goverment, THINK hard this time before election day! Thanks for your time and cooperation!

[CTRL] Fwd: From Israel-JFK Jr
Original Message Subject: Re JFK Jr. - From Israel Recipients-- I forward this just as it was sent to me--a note from researcher Barry Chamish of Israel in regard to the piling evidence that JFK Jr., reportedly pregnant wife and sister-in-law were in fact murdered in cold blood. Again I make no claims as to the truth of what Mr. Chamish says as I have not done his research. I believe his statements and THEIR IMPLICATIONS are worthy of very serious consideration. John Quinn/NewsHawk Inc. Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 19:22:59 -0400 From: xxx To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just received this from Israeli citizen, investigator and author, Barry Chamish. From: barry chamish To: xxx Subject: Price Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 01:39:59 +0300 (IDT) The Human Price Of Rabin's Truth by Barry Chamish [snip] As a result of my Rabin work gaining credibility in certain informed circles, I am sent the lowdown on other political murders. ...Clearly, it is a rather fatal idea to get to know the President from too close up. When his bloodlust wasn't satisfied at home, he helped conjure up some excuses abroad. The hapless bombing of a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan just didn't do it for him, so a futile exercise against Iraq settled him down for a few days. But the thirst to kill just kept coming back to its master, so a phoney humanitarian war in Kosovo helped calm the nerves. Next on his list is Israel, and my leaders will do all they can to help him out. [snip] So now what do we do about the information coming out on the explosion of JFK Jr.'s plane? The day it happened I wrote that JFK Jr. was doing more than any other American media figure to get to the bottom of the Rabin assassination truth. I reminded readers that his magazine George ran a 13 page expose of the Shabak's involvement in the assassination. I suggested that this was a brave but risky stand. Then came the tidal wave of data. The FBI Preliminary Report confirming the bomb on the plane and noting the type of explosive was used by certain foreign intelligence services. This was followed by Catherine Crier of Fox TV's The Crier Report, announcing that JFK Jr. was about to meet high ranking Mossad officers to get the full story on the Rabin assassination. Then Maariv ran an interview with JFK's chauffeur, who happens to be Israeli. Then people started noting that Barak was in Washington at the time of Kennedy's finale in life. So radio shows from America starting calling asking me to investigate a possible Mossad hit. They observe that the chauffeur was in a position to plant a bomb in JFK Jr.'s luggage... That Barak had an interest in preventing Kennedy from finding out the truth of Rabin's murder. And on and on and deeper and deeper. Will I pursue this line? Is this beyond my intention of reforming my nation and finally reaching the ugly point of wrecking it...Of feeding every anti-semite's wildest fantasies...Of justifying every anti-Zionist diatribe ever written...Of handing our Arab enemies the very weapon they've been seeking to crush us into the sand??? [snip] But the gains are real as well. I have the admiration of the most dedicated Zionists. I enjoy status and respect from the Israelis I most respect. And they always turn out when I lecture. And they take, sometimes, scary risks to find vital documents for me. And there are more and more people like them every day. I can't let these people down. And I think I will if I pursue the Kennedy line. If the Crier report is right, and if the FBI Preliminary Report isn't fraudulent, then suspicion is going to be raised against Israel. My nation will be put in grave danger by our leaders and their intelligence services. And this time, I don't want to know anything about it. end

Om K - Bush: So-So Student but a Campus Mover George Bush pins a lieutenant's bar on his son George W. Bush, a pilot with the Texas Air National Guard. (Texas Military Forces Museum) By Lois Romano and George Lardner Jr. Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, July 27, 1999; Page A1 Third of seven articles Eventually George Walker Bush came to love Andover, the New England prep school where he was sent by his parents in 1961, but that wasn't the way he felt when he arrived there as a 15-year-old who had never lived away from home. Rigorous, competitive and elite, Andover was an abrupt and scary change for a freewheeling young man raised in Texas. "I was going from one world to another," Bush says now. And the world he was entering was his father's. Andover had marked the beginning of George Herbert Walker Bush's illustrious career. President of his senior class and captain of the baseball team, Poppy Bush cemented his place in Andover lore by ignoring the advice of Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, the school's 1942 commencement speaker, that he and his classmates finish their education before thinking of military service. He enlisted instead, postponing college to become the youngest commissioned Navy pilot in World War II. Nineteen years after his father's graduation from Andover, Bush was following in his footsteps, setting a pattern for much of his adult life. He would go on to Yale, like his father, and join Skull and Bones, his father's secret society. He would enlist in the military to become a pilot, go to Midland to seek his fortune in the oil business, run for Congress. He would even become engaged to be married at 20, the same age his father was when he married. George W. would also anoint himself keeper of his father's honor in politics or as he put it, his "loyalty enforcer." During the 1988 and 1992 presidential campaigns, "Junior" as he was sometimes called, inaccurately made sure that everyone understood what he referred to as his "grenade" rule: If there was a grenade heading toward his father, their job was to jump on it. Today, of course, Bush has embarked on trying to duplicate his father's greatest accomplishment becoming president of the United States. Relationships between fathers and sons are never simple, but the close parallels between their two careers, Bush's fierce loyalty to his father and his thin skin whenever his father is criticized suggest something particularly complex. "He had a huge influence on my life," Bush said in an interview. "And so does my mother and I presume that's part of what you're trying to figure out. ... I'm trying to figure it out, I guess." In an interview in 1986, Bush more directly addressed the question of his relationship with his father, insisting that he had gotten over any sense of competition with him. "I worked it out because of my own strength but also because of him," Bush told Walt Harrington, a writer for the Washington Post magazine. "He never tried to mold me." And, he added, he had gotten over his "self-pity" about "being George Bush's son." In going east for his education, in following his father to Andover and Yale, Bush was following what seemed a simple road. But he would discover that his father's traditional formula for success did not necessarily fit him or the dramatically changing times in which he and his generation lived. "You have to understand that Big George was the sun around which all the family galaxies rotated," said Elsie Walker, the former president's first cousin but a contemporary of George W.'s. "There was a lot of pressure on George to ... develop himself within that family context. That's why it took George a longer time to decide where he was going ... why he had to color himself in and figure out who he was for himself." His years in prep school and college, from 1961 to 1968, were the first part of that process, but the process would be a long one. "You get closer to your dad as you get older because you become more accomplished and cease putting your dad on a pedestal," says Joe O'Neill, one of Bush's closest friends. "But as George got older, his father kept getting higher in stature. The pedestal kept getting taller."

He was, for example, alone with david ferrie until 4 AM on the night he died. I'd have said "died mysteriously," but that would be gilding the lilly. Om K - At Height of Vietnam, Bush Picks Guard George W. Bush, right, during his Harvard years. (Harvard Yearbook) By George Lardner Jr. and Lois Romano Washington Post Staff Writers Wednesday, July 28, 1999; Page A1 Two weeks before he was to graduate from Yale, George Walker Bush stepped into the offices of the Texas Air National Guard at Ellington Field outside Houston and announced that he wanted to sign up for pilot training. It was May 27, 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War. Bush was 12 days away from losing his student deferment from the draft at a time when Americans were dying in combat at the rate of 350 a week. The unit Bush wanted to join offered him the chance to fulfill his military commitment at a base in Texas. It was seen as an escape route from Vietnam by many men his age, and usually had a long waiting list. Bush had scored only 25 percent on a "pilot aptitude" test, the lowest acceptable grade. But his father was then a congressman from Houston, and the commanders of the Texas Guard clearly had an appreciation of politics. Bush was sworn in as an airman the same day he applied. His commander, Col. Walter B. "Buck" Staudt, was apparently so pleased to have a VIP's son in his unit that he later staged a special ceremony so he could have his picture taken administering the oath, instead of the captain who actually had sworn Bush in. Later, when Bush was commissioned a second lieutenant by another subordinate, Staudt again staged a special ceremony for the cameras, this time with Bush's father the congressman a supporter of the Vietnam War standing proudly in the background. Bush's father went on to run for senator in 1970 against Lloyd Bentsen Jr. a prominent Texas Democrat whose own son had been placed in the same Texas Guard unit by the same Col. Staudt around the same time as Bush. On Election Day, before the polls closed, Guard commanders nominated both George W. Bush and Lloyd Bentsen III for promotion to first lieutenant even as the elder Bentsen was defeating the elder Bush. Three decades later, as Bush begins a campaign for the presidency that has invited new scrutiny of his life, Staudt and other Guard commanders insist no favoritism was shown to him. But others active in Texas politics in the 1960s say the Texas National Guard was open to string-pulling by the well-connected, and there are charges that the then-speaker of the Texas legislature helped George W. gain admittance. Vietnam was clearly a crucible for Bush, as it was for Bill Clinton, Al Gore and most other men who left college in the late 1960s. Bush maintains that he joined the National Guard not to avoid service in Vietnam but because he wanted to be a fighter pilot. Rather than be drafted and serve in the infantry an assignment Bush has acknowledged he did not want he agreed to spend almost two years in flight training and another four years in part-time service. That commitment, in turn, was to frame a period of aimlessness and drift that Bush now calls his "nomadic" years: As the war and the youth culture of the 1960s rocked America, Bush partied and dated with gusto, dabbled half-heartedly in business and politics, and flew jets part time. Apart from his Guard commitment, he was unemployed for stretches that lasted for months. His last job before he returned to the East to attend Harvard Business School, as a social worker helping poor children, was arranged by his father after George W. drunkenly confronted him one night and challenged him to a fight. Even after returning to the elite classrooms of the Ivy League, Bush seemed adrift compared with his classmates. But Harvard offered the beginnings of a self-discipline his mother called it "structure" that was to propel him back to Texas with an ambition to build his own future. As he drifted, Bush struggled with his own feelings about Vietnam and the turmoil he saw around him in America. Over time, he now says, he became disillusioned with the war, even as he believed that he should support the government that waged it. "In a sense he was trying to remain a centrist in a time when there wasn't anything left at the center," said Craig Stapleton, who is married to Bush's cousin and has been a confidant of Bush's for 25 years. "All of the sudden everybody moves and you're still standing in the center. He didn't dodge the military. But he didn't volunteer to go to Vietnam and get killed, either."

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.lvcybermall.com/book A HREF="http://www.lvcybermall.com/book/"The Gold of the Sun/A - The Gold of the Sun A Reality Based Fiction BOOK FOUR: THE RECOVERY YEARS Chapters 16 - 23 Marcos was gone and forced to live in Hawaii. By all rights Carter should have been out of the treasure business. Carter knew that Marcos had left behind a strong group of loyalist and politicians. This was true even after Aquino became President. Carter was keeping informed of what was happening in the Philippines through the Movement for the Free Philippines who were a strong anti-Marcos faction. Carter had the treasure maps but had no plans to use them. At the time he considered personally going back to the Islands impossible. Suicidal was a better word. Carter was also being informed of events through Jack Anderson and his reporters. There was a major American historical event which changed all of that. The US Congress had passed the Boland Agreement which required the CIA to seek their approval for funding of their covert operations. With so many Congressmen knowledgeable about their operations they knew that secrecy was impossible. They chose to get their funds from other sources. The result was the Iran-Contra scandal that led to extensive Congressional hearings. Among those who were required to testify was Marine Lt. Colonel Oliver North, retired Major General John Singlaub, and Lieutenant General Robert Schweitzer. The media was having a field day about the illegal sale of arms to Iran. During the second world war Singlaub had been with the OSS and later was a Section Head of the CIA station in Mukden, Manchuria. During the Vietnam war he commanded the as sassination team known as Operation Phoenix. Schweitzer was a Deputy Director of the National Security Council and a senior military advisor to President Reagan. Both of these men had offices in the Pentagon and were members of a high level think-tank made up of other senior military officers and top politicians known as the Geo-Military Tech. Prior to Marcos's ouster Jack Anderson had reported to Carter that the CIA had made a deal with the President and were in the Philippines digging for Japanese buried treasurer A CIA front corporation called Nippon Star was headed by General Singlaub and was made up of many senior officers, some still on active duty. Anderson had gone to the Philippines and confirmed that this information was true. The Philippine press had a media circus over this and Anderson broke the news in the US in his articles. Anderson told Carter that they were digging at four sites. Carter knew that only one of those sites was real and that was at Mount Makiling, near the town of Los Banos and the campus of the University of the Philippines. Anderson correctly assumed that the CIA was going to use these unlimited funds to get around the Boland Agreement. Anderson also reported that they had an eyewitness and another member of the Leber Group on their payroll. But they only had the eyewitness memory and not the treasure maps. Carter was confused about the three sites that were not real. By January 15, 1987 Carter had become a general manager of a new car dealership in Las Vegas. He received a phone call in his office from a man who identified himself as Alan Foringer who said he was calling from an attorney's office in Seattle, Washington. He asked if Carter would meet with him later that day. Carter asked him what he wanted to talk about and Foringer said he was digging for treasure in the Philippines and knew that Carter was the key to the success of their venture. Carter wanted more details and when Foringer said that he was the President of Nippon Star and that General Singlaub was with his group, Carter said that was a CIA operation and he wanted nothing to do with it. He refused the meeting and hung up. The next morning just before 9:00 AM two men entered his office. The tall one introduced himself as Alan Foringer. Carter was angry and told him he that must not hear too good. He was about to throw them out of his office when Foringer looked at his watch and said that Carter was going to receive a phone call in a few minutes from a representative of President Reagan. Carter decided to wait. At exactly 9:00 AM his phone rang and a man identified himself as Lt. General Robert Schweitzer. He said he was calling at the request of the President. Carter interrupted him and asked where he was calling from. The General said from his office in the Pentagon. Carter told him he would call him back. He did not ask for the phone number, instead he called the information operator and got the main number to the Pentagon. He dialed the number and asked the operator for the office of General Schweitzer. The secretary answered and when he gave her his name she said the General was expecting his call. The man who answered the phone was the same voice he had spoken to earlier. The conversation lasted over an hour with the
[CTRL] TNN's Wrestling Partner Jokes About JFK Jr.
-Caveat Lector- July 27, 1999 TNN's Wrestling Partner Jokes About JFK Jr. Tuesday, July 27, 1999 TV's traditionally wholesome Nashville Network is close to signing a deal with an on-air personality whose idea of comedy involves John F. Kennedy Jr. plane-crash jokes. Joel Gertner, a wrestling announcer who's expected to appear on TNN's soon-to-be-launched ECW wrestling show, surprised TV viewers last weekend with a distasteful JFK Jr. commentary that aired in several markets through ECW's syndicated TV show. Typical of the humor was a double-entendre joke about the size of JFK, Jr.'s "cockpit" and an imitation involving gurgling noises. ECW management distanced itself from Gertner's shock commentary by refusing to post the transcript on the company's official web site, even after Gertner told viewers it would be available at the site. In its place was a statement by ECW management: "We here at ECWwrestling.com apologize to anyone who was offended by Joel's tasteless remarks on the TV show." Gertner's pre-taped commentary aired on Florida regional sports channel The Sunshine Network and elsewhere, but was pulled by New York-area ECW affiliate Madison Square Garden Network prior to telecast.

[CTRL] Klintoon Drug Accuser Set for Prison Release [Sharlene Wilson]
-Caveat Lector- Tuesday July 27, 10:34 AM Clinton Drug Accuser Set for Prison Release An Arkansas parole board has recommended early prison release for Sharlene Wilson, the onetime Little Rock drug dealer who told a federal grand jury in 1990 that she witnessed then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton use cocaine on multiple occasions. A source close to Wilson tells Inside Cover that the Clinton accuser "recently notified me that she finally got a clemency/parole board hearing and they voted 4 - 1 for her release. The matter is currently before Gov. (Mike) Huckabee for his vote and approval." Wilson has been incarcerated for most of the Clinton presidency as part of what many believe is a political vendetta by Clinton allies in his home state, who fear she knows too much about the Mena drug-running scandal. Wilson now resides at the Grimes-McPherson correctional facility in Newport, Arkansas. The federal drug probe witness testified that she began selling cocaine to Clinton's brother Roger as early as 1979. Wilson has told reporters that she sold two grams of cocaine to Clinton's brother at the Little Rock nightclub Le Bistro, then witnessed Bill Clinton consume the drug. "I watched Bill Clinton lean up against a brick wall," Wilson revealed to the London Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in 1995. "He must have had an adenoid problem because he casually stuck my tooter up his nose. He was so messed up that night, he slid down the wall into a garbage can and just sat there like a complete idiot." Wilson also described gatherings at Little Rock's Coachman's Inn between 1979 and 1981, where she saw Clinton using cocaine "quite avidly" with friends. An Arkansas Police video shows Roger Clinton telling one cocaine dealer, "Got to get some for my brother. He's got a nose like a vacuum cleaner." Her friend fears that Wilson's prison release may yet be jeopardized by the Arkansas Clinton machine, despite the lopsided parole board vote and Gov. Huckabee's GOP credentials.

Lawrence The False Memory Syndrome Foundation's executive director Pamela Freyd told Moving Forward that widely known psychologists and expert witnesses Ralph Underwager, Ph.D., and Hollida Wakefield, M.A., were asked to resign from the foundation's advisory board on July 1. This action was taken as a result of questions raised over a 1991 interview that Underwager and Wakefield gave to the Netherlands' publication Paidika, The Journal of Paedophilia (Winter, 1993). But the following day, Freyd changed her position and said that the foundation had not made a formal request for Underwager and Wakefield's resignations. Initially, Freyd said that the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) board or directors (who are separate from the advisory board) had voted to remove Underwager and Wakefield if they did not agree to resign, and that Underwager and Wakefield had agreed to "step aside" from the board until the matter could be clarified. But in a later interview, Freyd indicated that they declined to resign, and that the matter would ultimately be decided by the more than 20-member advisory board. http://www.movingforward.org/v2n4-underwager.html Moving Forward Newsjournal Volume 2, Number 4, p. 13 July, 1993 Copyright 1993, Moving Forward, Inc.

Lawrence A line drawing of a nude boy appeared on the cover of the Paidika (Vol. 3, No. 1, Issue 9 ), the publication that included the Underwager/Wakefield interview. When contacted about the article, Underwager told Moving Forward: "I haven't checked it [the article], but I'm not aware of any misquotations." Excerpts from the article follow: [Paidika:] Is choosing paedophilia for you a responsible choice for the individual? RU [Underwager]: Certainly it is responsible. What I have been struck by as I have come to know more about and understand people who choose paedophilia is that they let themselves be too much defined by other people. That is usually an essentially negative definition. Paedophiles spend a lot of time and energy defending their choice. I don't think that a paedophile needs to do that. Paedophiles can boldly and courageously affirm what they choose. They can say that what they want is to find the best way to love. I am also a theologian and as a theologian I believe it is God's will that there be closeness and intimacy, unity of the flesh, between people. A paedophile can say: This closeness is possible for me within the choices that I've made." Paedophiles are too defensive. They go around saying, "You people out there are saying that what I choose is bad, that it's no good. You're putting me in prison, you're doing all these terrible things to me. I have to define my love as being someway or other illicit." What I think is that paedophiles can make the assertion that the pursuit of intimacy and love is what they choose. With boldness they can say, "I believe this is in fact part of God's will." They have the right to make these statements for themselves as personal choices. Now whether or not they can persuade other people they are right is another matter (laughs). [Pages 3,4] [Paidika:] You say that paedophiles should affirm the fact that they believe that paedophilia is a part of "God's will." Are you also saying that for the paedophile to make this claim about God's will, is also to state what God's will is? RU: (laughing) Of course, I'm not privy to God's will. I do believe it is God's will that we have freedom. I believe that God's will is that we have absolute freedom. No conditions, no contingencies. When the blessed apostle Paul says, "All things are lawful for me," he says it not once but four times. "All things are lawful for me." He also adds that not everything works. [Page 41] [Paidika:] Still, isn't it a reasonable wish for paedophiles to want to see paedophile sex decriminalized? It may not be realistic right now in the U.S., but does that make it less legitimate a goal? RU: Oh yes, sure, sure. I mean Jesus said, "I really don't want to do this. I don't want to go up there onto Calvary." But when it came down to it, he said, "Well, OK, I'm going to walk the steps." As for decriminalization the question is really if you're not there, how are you going to get there?
[CTRL] Missile suspicions over TWA crash not so farfetched (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Not for Commercial Use Missile suspicions over TWA crash not so farfetched Source: The San Jose Mercury News Published: July 25, 1999 Author: SCOTT HOLLERAN CONSPIRACY THEORIES attract some pretty loopy people for good reasons- Most of them are based on mere coincidences or arbitrary assertions---in other words, pure bunk. But this is the tale of how I began to believe in one. Three years ago, I was scheduled to meet my parents for the beginning of a long planned European vacation. It turned out to be the start of my journey into one of the great aviation mysteries of our time - the crash of TWA Flight 800. The TWA terminal at New York's JFK Airport that July 17 was bustling with summer travelers, with whom I waited until my departure. My parents missed our connection, but I was assured by the TWA flight crew that they would board the next available flight, Flight 800. When I arrived in Europe hours later, I exited the aircraft through the plastic vestibule, where an airport official met me with a smile and politely asked where my parents were. I told him they'd missed the flight. He turned white. "Your parents are gone," he whispered as his hand moved to cover his mouth. He explained that their airplane had exploded over the Atlantic Ocean. He muttered one phrase in broken English: "The FBI is investigating." I learned that the airport official was wrong. Mom and Dad were alive--- they had missed that flight as well---and I was elated to embrace them. We traveled through Europe with a renewed sense of life. It wasn't until we boarded the flight back to the United States that I began to question the government's investigation of the crash, when members of the TWA flight crew told me that flight 800 had been shot down by a Navy missile. This was weeks before an anonymous e-mail message made similar claims, and months before journalist and former Kennedy press secretary Pierre Salinger claimed that a French intelligence source had informed him of a conspiracy by the U.S. government to cover up a military mishap. "Friendly fire," let alone a cover-up, seemed preposterous to me. As a journalist, I am inclined to be skeptical of unusual claims. I don't read horoscopes, and I think Shirley MacLaine is nuts. As I reviewed early news reports and attempted to match them with later stories, however, several discrepancies emerged. First, authorities issued several conflicting statements. Second, the anonymous e-mail---though it contained plenty of false information---disclosed that a Navy aircraft had been involved in exercises nearby at the time of the crash. Much later, the FBI acknowledged that fact. Third, I'd noticed that investiga- tors wanted to have it both ways. The National Transportation Safety Board's investigation was proceeding under the direction of the FBI, which was involved on the grounds that a crime might have caused the crash---but FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom would neither con- firm nor deny the existence of criminal evidence. During the months following the crash, Salinger's amateurish presentations of the missile theory captured most of the media attention--- and ridicule. But the number of credible skeptics grew, and the FBI and NTSB developed an odd, weary demeanor. Investigators' pursuit of an intelligible cause diminished in proportion to the rise in missile claims. The FBI seized an amateur videotape taken by retired commercial pilot Richard Russell, which he said showed radar images of TWA 800 being downed by a missile. Charges were filed against freelance writer and investigator James Sanders, who had obtained a piece of seat fabric that he said contained rocket resi- due. I wondered why the FBI had bothered with such supposedly meaningless claims---and, once they had, why they wouldn't release the video and seat fabric for independent evaluation. A mysterious radar track Then the FBI's Kallstrom testified before Congress that his agency had tracked "all air and waterborne vessels in the area and conducted appropriate interviews. Yet the FBI did not dispute a report by Robert Davey, a Village Voice reporter, that radar in the area picked up four unidentified tracks. One of these, according to the NTSB was within three nautical miles of Flight 800 when it exploded. It's pattern was consistent with a surface vessel moving at 30 knots, the NTSB said.
[CTRL] Clinton Drug Accuser Set for Prison Release (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Not for Commercial Use Clinton Drug Accuser Set for Prison Release Source: http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover.shtml Published: July 27, 1999 Author: With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com An Arkansas parole board has recommended early prison release for Sharlene Wilson, the onetime Little Rock drug dealer who told a federal grand jury in 1990 that she witnessed then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton use cocaine on multiple occasions. A source close to Wilson tells Inside Cover that the Clinton accuser "recently notified me that she finally got a clemency/parole board hearing and they voted 4 - 1 for her release. The matter is currently before Gov. (Mike) Huckabee for his vote and approval." Wilson has been incarcerated for most of the Clinton presidency as part of what many believe is a political vendetta by Clinton allies in his home state, who fear she knows too much about the Mena drug-running scandal. Wilson now resides at the Grimes-McPherson correctional facility in Newport, Arkansas. The federal drug probe witness testified that she began selling cocaine to Clinton's brother Roger as early as 1979. Wilson has told reporters that she sold two grams of cocaine to Clinton's brother at the Little Rock nightclub Le Bistro, then witnessed Bill Clinton consume the drug. "I watched Bill Clinton lean up against a brick wall," Wilson revealed to the London Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in 1995. "He must have had an adenoid problem because he casually stuck my tooter up his nose. He was so messed up that night, he slid down the wall into a garbage can and just sat there like a complete idiot." Wilson also described gatherings at Little Rock's Coachman's Inn between 1979 and 1981, where she saw Clinton using cocaine "quite avidly" with friends. An Arkansas Police video shows Roger Clinton telling one cocaine dealer, "Got to get some for my brother. He's got a nose like a vacuum cleaner." Her friend fears that Wilson's prison release may yet be jeopardized by the Arkansas Clinton machine, despite the lopsided parole board vote and Gov. Huckabee's GOP credentials.

[CTRL] Justice Dept. Ignoring Evidence On Chinese Campaign Contributions (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Justice Dept. Ignoring Evidence On Chinese Campaign Contributions Source: Fox News 9.39 a.m. ET (1339 GMT) July 27, 1999 By Carl Cameron A Justice Department task force investigating alleged illegal foreign contributions to the Democratic Party has possessed potentially incriminating documents since the fall of 1997, Fox News has learned. The documents bank records from Citibank, which has branches in New York, Los Angeles and Hong Kong indicate that big-time Democratic donor Johnny Chung received $300,000 from Chinese government officials. Sources say Chung in 1997 turned over the records, which show he received a wire transfer from Citibank's Hong Kong branch from Liu Chaoying, a vice president at China Aerospace, a firm that helps loft satellites into orbit on Chinese rockets. China Aerospace has worked numerous times with U.S. satellite makers Hughes Electronics and Loral Space Communications, whose chief executive, Bernard L. Schwartz, was the top donor to President Clinton's re-election campaign, contributing almost $1 million. Liu Chaoying, who is also a lieutenant colonel in China's People's Liberation Army, introduced Chung to the head of Chinese military intelligence, Gen. Ji Shengde, who arranged to have $300,000 wired to Chung, who has since said he gave only a small portion of that money to the Democrats. (Gen. Ji was recently demoted from his position, reportedly because of the transfer of funds.) Chung has pled guilty to campaign finance violations and is cooperating with government investigators. His appearance before Congress in May was the first voluntary appearance by more than 100 people with connections to alleged Chinese attempts to influence the 1996 elections. Sources say the Justice Dept. never bothered to pursue the bank records, a simple piece of evidence that would have revealed that the origin of Chung's cash was one of China's top spies. A senior DOJ task force source said investigators chose to concentrate on other leads and in recent months have run into problems with Citibank's reluctance to supply additional information. The DOJ source said both U.S. and Chinese banking regulations made pursuing the lead very difficult. More Leads Ignored There is also a battle raging within the Department of Justice campaign finance task force over how to proceed with the plea-bargained sentencing of long-time Clinton friend and fund-raiser Yah-Lin Charlie Trie, who has pleaded guilty to fund-raising violations. Sources familiar with Trie's DOJ cooperation say some FBI investigators want to hold off on Trie's sentencing in order to pursue his allegations that top Democratic National Committee and White House officials were aware of and on at least two occasions encouraged illegally funneled foreign contributions to the Democratic Party during the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign. Sources close to Trie say he has been trying to tell investigators about several alleged illegal contributions from a mysterious Macao businessman named Ng Lap Seng. Also known as Mr. Wu, Seng, who has ties to Asian organized crime, allegedly funneled several hundred thousand dollars to the DNC through various illegal means. Sources with knowledge of Trie's testimony say, however, that top-level Justice Dept. political appointees have expressed little interest in Trie's revelations and want the case wrapped up. Sources say Johnny Chung, too, is telling friends he offered the Justice Dept. new details of White House and DNC knowledge of foreign fund-raising impropriety, but investigators "did not want to hear it." One senior Justice Dept. prosecutor expressed his frustration to Fox News, saying there is "fertile ground" to till and that he is being pressed to ignore it. Chung, meanwhile, is trying to get a book deal. Sources say he has been turned down by several publishers because he is seeking a million-dollar advance. = Kaddish, Kaddish, Kaddish, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

The National Security Council is conducting a legal and technical review of the new Clinton plan, a final report is scheduled to be made public in September. NEW YORK TIMES reporter John Markoff has been shown a draft, according to publishing sources, and was busy on Tuesday afternoon preparing a story. In some government circles, the proposed system has been nicknamed "Hillary." The plan calls for the development of a "sophisticated software system to monitor activities on non-military government networks" and a separate system to "track all transactions used in the banking, telecommunications and transportation industries." The system is intended to alert law enforcement officials to computer attacks that might cripple governmental or the nation's economy. But it could also become a massive government utility used for surveillance of citizens, critics contend, with great potential for misuse. "Law enforcement agencies obviously would be under great temptation to expand the use of the information in pursuit of suspected criminals," the TIMES will report. The plan has drawn fire from civil libertarians because it blends "civilian and military functions" in protecting the nation's computer networks. Law enforcement agencies would be under great temptation to expand the use of the information in pursuit of suspected criminals. And the plan would put a new and powerful tool into the hands of the FBI.

[CTRL] U.S. Drawing Plan That Will Monitor Computer Systems (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- All this could be operated by the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC). Check this: PDD 63. Found at: http://www.fbi.gov/nipc/nipc.htm The mission of the NIPC is both a national security and law enforcement effort to detect, deter, assess, warn of, respond to, and investigate computer intrusions and unlawful acts, both physical and "cyber," that threaten or target our critical infrastructures. The NIPC's job is not simply to investigate and respond to attacks after they occur, but to learn about preventing them. "The NIPC will provide a national focal point for gathering information on threats to the infrastructures. Additionally, the NIPC will provide the principal means for facilitating and coordinating the Federal Government's resources to an incident, mitigating attack." President William J. Clinton Presidential Decision Directive 63, May 22, 1998 July 27, 1999--NYTimes U.S. Drawing Plan That Will Monitor Computer Systems By JOHN MARKOFF The Clinton Administration has developed a plan for an extensive computer monitoring system, overseen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to protect the nation's crucial data networks from intruders. The plan, an outgrowth of the Administration's anti-terrorism program, has already raised concerns from civil liberties groups. A draft prepared by officials at the National Security Council last month, which was provided to The New York Times by a civil liberties group, calls for a sophisticated software system to monitor activities on nonmilitary Government networks and a separate system to track networks used in crucial industries like banking, telecommunications and transportation. The effort, whose details are still being debated within the Administration, is intended to alert law enforcement officials to attacks that might cripple Government operations or the nation's economy. But because of the increasing power of the nation's computers and their emerging role as a backbone of the country's commerce, politics and culture, critics of the proposed system say it could become a building block for a surveillance infrastructure with great potential for misuse. They also argue that such a network of monitoring programs could itself be open to security breaches, giving intruders or unauthorized users a vast window into Government and corporate computer systems. Government officials said the changing nature of military threats in the information age had altered the nature of national security concerns and created a new sense of urgency to protect the nation's information infrastructure. "Our concern about an organized cyberattack has escalated dramatically," Jeffrey Hunker, the National Security Council's director of information protection, who is overseeing the plan, said yesterday. "We do know of a number of hostile foreign governments that are developing sophisticated and well organized offensive cyber attack capabilities, and we have good reason to believe that terrorists may be developing similar capabilities." As part of the plan, networks of thousands of software monitoring programs would constantly track computer activities looking for indications of computer network intrusions and other illegal acts. The plan calls for the creation of a Federal Intrusion Detection Network, or Fidnet, and specifies that the data it collects will be gathered at the National Infrastructure Protection Center, an interagency task force housed at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Such a system, to be put fully in place by 2003, is meant to permit Government security experts to track "patterns of patterns" of information and respond in a coordinated manner against intruders and terrorists. The plan focuses on monitoring data flowing over Government and national computer networks. That means the systems would potentially have access to computer-to-computer communications like electronic mail and other documents, computer programs and remote log-ins. But an increasing percentage of network traffic, like banking and financial information, is routinely encrypted and would not be visible to the monitor software. Government officials argue that they are not interested in eavesdropping, but rather are looking for patterns of behavior that suggest illegal activity. Over the last three years, the Pentagon has begun to string together entire network

In October 1997, the Commission issued its report calling for a national effort to assure the security of the United States' increasingly vulnerable and interconnected infrastructures, such as telecommunications, banking and finance, energy, transportation, and essential government services. Presidential Decision Directive 63 is the culmination of an intense, interagency effort to evaluate those recommendations and produce a workable and innovative framework for critical infrastructure protection. The President's policy: Sets a goal of a reliable, interconnected, and secure information system infrastructure by the year 2003, and significantly increased security to government systems by the year 2000, by: Immediately establishing a national center to warn of and respond to attacks. Ensuring the capability to protect critical infrastructures from intentional acts by 2003. Addresses the cyber and physical infrastructure vulnerabilities of the Federal government by requiring each department and agency to work to reduce its exposure to new threats; Requires the Federal government to serve as a model to the rest of the country for how infrastructure protection is to be attained; Seeks the voluntary participation of private industry to meet common goals for protecting our critical systems through public-private partnerships; Protects privacy rights and seeks to utilize market forces. It is meant to strengthen and protect the nation?s economic power, not to stifle it. Seeks full participation and input from the Congress. PDD-63 sets up a new structure to deal with this important challenge: a National Coordinator whose scope will include not only critical infrastructure but also foreign terrorism and threats of domestic mass destruction (including biological weapons) because attacks on the US may not come labeled in neat jurisdictional boxes; The National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) at the FBI which will fuse representatives from FBI, DOD, USSS, Energy, Transportation, the Intelligence Community, and the private sector in an unprecedented attempt at information sharing among agencies in collaboration with the private sector. The NIPC will also provide the principal means of facilitating and coordinating the Federal Government?s response to an incident, mitigating attacks, investigating threats and monitoring reconstitution efforts; Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) are encouraged to be set up by the private sector in cooperation with the Federal government and modeled on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; A National Infrastructure Assurance Council drawn from private sector leaders and state/local officials to provide guidance to the policy formulation of a National Plan; The Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office will provide support to the National Coordinator?s work with government agencies and the private sector in developing a national plan. The office will also help coordinate a national education and awareness program, and legislative and public affairs.

[CTRL] World Bank Lending Reaches $29B
-Caveat Lector- World Bank Lending Reaches $29B By Harry Dunphy Associated Press Writer Tuesday, July 27, 1999; 5:54 p.m. EDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- World Bank lent a record $29 billion in the fiscal year that ended June 30, an increase of $1.5 billion over the previous year, the bank said Tuesday. The bank's main lending arm, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, approved loans worth $22.2 billion at market-based interest rates. The remaining $6.8 billion in commitments were made through the International Development Association, which lends funds at cheaper interest rates to poorer countries. In the previous fiscal year, IBRD loans totaled $21 billion, IDA $7.5 billion. The bank's annual lending statement said actual loan payouts for fiscal year 1999 totaled $24 billion, down from $25.5 billion the previous year. In some cases, bank loans are not disbursed in the year they are approved. ``While we see, for a second fiscal year, that the (global) financial crisis has resulted in record loans, I am cheered to see that the increase in the quality of loans we have provided, as this points to real results on the ground,'' said James Wolfensohn, the bank president. Earlier this year the bank said the failure rate for its projects had declined, meaning more development contracts are completed as planned. Wolfensohn made this one of his objectives when he took over as bank president four years ago. Nations in East Asia and the Pacific, where the financial crisis began in mid-1997, were leading recipients of bank loans, the statement said. Lending to Latin America and the Caribbean region also increased, partly in response to spread of the financial crisis and to Hurricane Mitch. Loans to nations in East Asia amounted to $9.76 billion. Latin America and the Caribbean came next at $7.74 billion. European and Central Asian countries obtained $5.29 billion. Totals for South Asia reached $2.56 billion, while Africa obtained $2.07 billion with $1.58 billion for North Africa and the Middle East. © Copyright 1999 The Associated Press Back to the top DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
