[CTRL] France: UN/CIA Fabricating Charges Against Iraq
-Caveat Lector- "One question proposed by France asked whether US equipment in the Baghdad laboratory was used to analyze the Iraqi warheads BEFORE they were sent to the American lab which found the VX traces. "Another French question asked ``why the entry code of the chemical lab and the biological room happened to be not operational.'' U.S. Blocks Questions About VX Gas By EDITH M. LEDERER .c The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United States on Thursday blocked China and France from asking U.N. weapons inspectors to prove that VX nerve gas left in a Baghdad laboratory wasn't used improperly to contaminate Iraqi missile warheads. Hasmy Agam, Security Council president and Malaysia's U.N. ambassador, had circulated a letter to Secretary-General Kofi Annan with questions to the U.N. inspectors from France and China. But the United States objected to France's questions, added late Wednesday, which U.S. officials felt trivialized the serious issue of disarming Iraq and focused unfairly on U.N. weapons inspectors from the U.N. Special Commission, or UNSCOM. So the letter has not been sent. The issue of VX became a flashpoint for the Security Council last year when the United States found traces of the nerve agent on fragments of Iraqi missile warheads. Iraq has admitted producing 3.9 tons of VX agent, but has denied loading the deadly agent into missile warheads. Seven vials containing tiny quantities of VX were among the chemical and biological material left in UNSCOM's Baghdad laboratory when inspectors pulled out of Iraq in mid-December on the eve of U.S. and British airstrikes. Iraq barred them from returning. France, China and Russia - Iraq's closest allies on the Security Council - urged the council to have the samples analyzed, intimating inspectors may have laced Iraqi warheads with the agent. But the majority of the 15-member council agreed with the weapons inspectors who said the VX could only be used to calibrate equipment used to test for the nerve agent, posed no danger, and should be destroyed. A team of independent chemical experts sent to Baghdad to make the laboratory safe went ahead and destroyed the VX samples on Tuesday. But China and France wanted UNSCOM to answer questions about why VX was in the lab and why most of it wasn't destroyed if it degrades after about a year. One question proposed by France asked whether equipment in the Baghdad laboratory was used to analyze the Iraqi warheads before they were sent to the American lab which found the VX traces. ``If that is not the case, for what reason?'' Another French question asked ``why the entry code of the chemical lab and the biological room happened to be not operational.'' A U.S. official retorted: ``While most of the council is concerned about more than three tons of one of the most toxic substances known to man, they're worried about the front door key.'' Iraq's Vice-President Taha Yassin accused the Security Council of ordering the destruction because it knew that UNSCOM inspectors had used the VX to contaminate the warheads. And an unnamed Iraqi weapons official was quoted by the official Iraqi News Agency as saying the VX was destroyed under U.S. pressure ``to erase evidence'' of UNSCOM involvement. The issue of UNSCOM's lab in Baghdad comes as the Security Council is debating a new policy toward Iraq. By drawing out the debate over a seemingly clear-cut technical issue for several days, France, Russia and China put the council on notice that they will closely scrutinize Iraq's outstanding disarmament obligations - and that reaching consensus will not be easy.

[CTRL] NASA Flubs Another Mission
-Caveat Lector- Spacecraft Camera Misses Asteroid By MATTHEW FORDAHL .c The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) - A NASA spacecraft that made the closest flyby ever of an asteroid apparently misaimed its camera and failed to get any close-ups of the giant orbiting rock, disappointing scientists Thursday. The Deep Space 1 probe flew within about 10 miles of the Asteroid Braille on Wednesday night, but the pictures it sent back back show only empty space, said Robert Nelson, project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. ``This is analogous to mispointing a camera and getting a blank field of view,'' he said. ``It's not very exciting if this hypothesis holds out.'' The barrel-shaped, 8-foot spacecraft, launched in October and designed primarily to test new forms of technology for future deep-space flights, otherwise accomplished all of the objectives of the $152 million mission, NASA said. And some science data still might be returned. An instrument that analyzes charged particles called ions appeared to be operating normally. Such data could help researchers figure out the rock's makeup. One of the tested technologies was a self-navigating system that lets the spacecraft set its own course. But the system lost sight of the asteroid with its camera about 20 minutes before the 35,000 mph encounter at 9:46 p.m., NASA said. ``This whole asteroid encounter was pure bonus,'' said deputy mission manager Marc Rayman. ``The objectives of the mission had already been accomplished before the encounter - that is to test high-risk technologies for future missions.'' Still, the blank pictures are disappointing to scientists, especially because so little is known about the thousands of asteroids that irregularly orbit the sun and sometimes collide with the planets. An asteroid that hit Earth 65 million years ago is believed to be responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. The flyby took place more than 117 million miles from Earth, between Earth and Mars. Among the other futuristic technologies tested was an ion propulsion engine that moved the spacecraft by sending out a stream of high-speed ins. Ion engines deliver 10 times more thrust than a conventional engine for a given amount of fuel. That means spacecraft can be smaller, lighter and less expensive to launch into space.

[CTRL] Plague of Locusts
-Caveat Lector- Locust Swarm Spreads into Russia ROME (AP) - Locusts that have covered up to 22 million acres in Kazakstan have spread into Russia, infesting some regions for the first time since the 1920s, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said Thursday. The locusts are thriving on land left fallow because of the poor economic conditions in the former Soviet republics, the Rome-based FAO said. In almost all regions, authorities lack the pesticides and other resources to check the swarms, the FAO said. The locusts have laid eggs on up to 22 million acres in Kazakstan, posing a major threat to next year's crops in that country and surrounding ones. Swarms have spread across the border into Russia, covering more than 2.47 million acres, the FAO said. The grain harvest this year in Russia already is expected to fall short of local needs. The locust infestations could aggravate an ``extremely tight'' grain supply next year, the U.N. agency said. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] NKorea, Taiwan Near Flashpoint
-Caveat Lector- U.S., SKorea Warn of NKorea Missile By PAUL SHIN .c The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The United States and South Korea warned Thursday they will mobilize ``all available means'' against North Korea if the Stalinist state goes ahead with another ballistic missile launch. The warning was issued after U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen and his South Korean counterpart, Cho Sung-tae, reviewed the security situation in Northeast Asia, including the North Korean missile threat. South Korean officials said North Korea appears to be preparing for a new rocket test despite U.S.-led pressure to halt the project. ``In case North Korea proceeds with another missile launch, Secretary Cohen and I have agreed to mobilize all available means through consultations among the U.S., Japan and South Korea,'' the South Korean defense chief said at a joint news conference with Cohen. Cohen said North Korea will face economic and diplomatic penalties if it proceeds with a new rocket test that could pose a threat to stability in the region. ``No one can predict the consequences of what might happen in the event of a missile launch,'' Cohen said. Last August, North Korea test-fired a less powerful missile over Japan and into the Pacific, alarming U.S., South Korean and Japanese officials who had been unaware of plans for the test. Earlier, South Korean President Kim Dae-jung told Cohen he backed the U.S. threat of economic sanctions against North Korea if it launches the missile. But he said North Korea should be offered incentives to drop the test. Kim did not elaborate. But under South Korea's engagement policy toward North Korea, he is encouraging the United States and Japan to provide economic aid and try to open diplomatic relations with the reclusive communist nation. In a meeting with Cohen at a lakeside retreat outside Seoul, Kim called for efforts to enlist support from China, North Korea's closest ally, and Russia, saying there should be international pressure on Pyongyang not to go ahead with a missile test. Kim also briefed Cohen on South Korea's desire to expand its own missile industry to counter its northern neighbor. It cannot do so without approval from the United States, which fears a regional arms race. A 1979 agreement forbids South Korea from developing a missile with a range longer than 112 miles. Seoul wants to develop a missile with a range of up to 190 miles. Relations between the Koreas have been tense since the two sides fought a war a half-century ago. Some 37,000 U.S. soldiers are stationed in South Korea and U.S. officials have often described the peninsula as one of the most dangerous places in the world. North Korea has shrugged off criticism, saying that it has the right to test a long-range missile, believed by some Western military experts to have a range of up to 3,700 miles. Parts of the United States would be within reach. Taiwan Experiences Power Outage .c The Associated Press TAIPEI (AP) - A widespread blackout in Taiwan left millions of residents without electricity early Friday and caused chaos on roads after traffic lights went out. The outage, which began late Thursday, cut power to areas throughout Taiwan and Kinmen, an island near the China's coast, media reported. The sudden blackout sparked fear among Taiwanese that Beijing was planning an attack on the island, which China considers a renegade province. By early morning power had been restored to about 66 percent of the capital, the state-run Taiwan Power Company said. The outage may have been triggered by accidents at a power stations near Chiaming and Lungchi, in south-central Chiayi county, 125 miles south of Taipei, Premier Vincent Siew told a news conference. The outage knocked out electricity around the island, Siew said. A Taipower spokesman said initial investigations ruled out the possibility that Chinese sabotage or crashed computers had caused the outage. Two of Taiwan's three nuclear power plants, which altogether generate about 30 percent of the island's electricity, were knocked out by the mass outage and were gradually being brought back on line, Taipower said. In Taipei, 15 people were rescued after being trapped in elevators in downtown buildings. At least five trains were halted temporarily by the power cut, Taiwan's Broadcasting Corporation of China reported, but were running again by early Friday morning. Some southern regions of Taiwan were reportedly unaffected. The blackout heightened tensions between Taiwan and China, who have been on edge since Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui's said earlier this month that the two powers should deal with each other on a ``state-to-state'' basis. Beijing responded to the statement with by threatening force to reunify Taiwan with the Chinese mainland. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- Iowa Straw Poll Flap Leads to Lies .c The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The head of the Christian Coalition in Iowa said Republican presidential candidate Steve Forbes tried to hire temporary workers from her agency to vote for him in next month's Iowa Straw Poll, but she later retracted her charges. The flap, which underscores the intense competition to do well in the straw poll, began earlier this week, when rival campaigns shared the allegations with reporters. Bobbie Gobel, owner of the Metro-Temp employment agency, said in interviews that an aide to Forbes had approached her and tried to hire an unspecified number of part-time workers to cast ballots for him at the Aug. 14 straw poll. She even identified the Forbes staffer for The Associated Press. But after the Forbes campaign denied the allegations and called her a liar, Gobel said ``the statements that have been attributed to me are false.'' Her statement, on the religious group's stationery, said the Christian Coalition of Iowa ``has never engaged in any inappropriate activities or discussions with any presidential campaign.'' Gobel has been openly critical of Forbes in the past, calling him ``a wolf in sheep's clothing'' and saying she she was suspicious of the sharply conservative views the publisher is offering this election cycle. She has also hosted Marilyn Quayle in her home and has referred to former Vice President Dan Quayle as ``godly'' in discussions with reporters.

[CTRL] Former Soviet's book exposes the germ of terror (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- From the Boston Globe: http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/210/living/Former_Soviet_s_book_exposes_the_germ_of_terror+.shtml BOOK REVIEW Former Soviet's book exposes the germ of terror By Stephen Kurkjian Globe Staff, 07/29/99 It may be a fearfully short time before this book becomes a common reference tool for every Washington policymaker, journalist, and national-security-minded citizen. We are one terrorist attack away from knowing the devastating effects of biological weapons. No wonder we're searching for answers about how the science behind the weapons developed, and how we allowed ourselves to become vulnerable to them. This book provides some of the answers. It also serves as a rude shock to those who might have thought that the Soviet Union was abiding by the Biological Weapons Convention that 140 nations signed in 1972. Instead, Ken Alibek - a Soviet scientist who defected in 1992 - discloses that the convention served as a cover to allow the Kremlin to develop and stockpile hundreds of tons of anthrax and dozens of tons of plague and smallpox near Moscow and other Russian cities for use against the United States and its Western allies. Authorized by Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev, the development of the program hid one of the most terrifying secrets of the Cold War, and Alibek (who changed his name from Kanatjan Alibekov on arriving in the United States) knows all the details. A native of the Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, Alibek rose to become the second in command of Biopreparat, the civilian branch of the Soviet Army that developed clandestine biological weapons. This secret military empire, masquerading as a pharmaceuticals company, employed more than 60,000 people in more than 100 facilities throughout the Soviet empire. Among the more sobering disclosures from Alibek's 15 years in the program are these: Convinced that the United States was secretly developing its own biological weapons arsenal, Soviet scientists worked closely with its military to arm a range of its missiles with deadly biological strains that were capable of striking American cities thousands of miles away. At its peak, the Soviets had reserve mobilization facilities at seven sites that stockpiled thousands of tons of agents to cause anthrax, smallpox, and plague. While a full-scale attack was never launched by the Soviets, Alibek reveals that he was informed by a senior military official that the Soviet military had used germ warfare in Afghanistan. During the prolonged campaign that turned into the Soviet Union's Vietnam, its military sprayed Afghan rebels with glanders, a bacteria that strikes horses and that can be highly lethal in humans. A US specialist later told Alibek that our government had detected widespread illnesses among the Afghan military that could not otherwise be explained. While it suspected the Soviets were cheating and conducted inspection tours during the mid-1980s, the United States did not begin to learn the details of the Soviet's efforts until the defection of a top Soviet scientist in 1989. Alibek's own defection in 1992 - the details of which are, he says, the only secrets he refuses to disclose - confirmed the US's worst suspicions. By Alibek's account, the United States appears to have abided by the pledges of a succession of presidents never to develop or use biological weapons, and concentrated its efforts on developing antigerm vaccines. ''At the height of the US offensive biological weapons program,'' he writes, ''American scientists restricted themselves to developing armaments that could be countered by antibiotics or vaccines, out of a concern for protecting troops and civilians from potential accidents. ''The Soviet government decided that the best agents were those for which there were no known cure. This shaped the entire course of our program and thrust us into a never-ending race against the medical profession. Every time a new treatment or vaccine came to light somewhere, we were back in our labs to figure out how to overcome its effects.'' In Alibek's view, the collapse of the Soviet Union should provide the US no relief from its concerns about being targeted by biological weapons. For one thing, he says, China (another signatory of the 1972 convention) appeared to be developing a program similar in scope to the Soviet Union's. In addition, following his defection, Alibek says, he was approached by several governments, including France's, and asked if he would be willing to advise them on biological weapons. A 1995 congressional report identified 17 countries that are believed to possess biological weapons. Chillingly, Alibek and Handelman, an investigative journalist, write: ''More have joined the list since.'' Most problematic is that several of the countries on the list, including Libya and Iraq, support international terrorists. And then there are the nongovernmental threats.

[CTRL] China-Based Clinton bagman investigated (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Thursday July 29 6:11 PM ET China-Based Diplomat Investigated By DAVID BRISCOE Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A former China-based U.S. diplomat and the State Department office that investigated him for possible visa fraud refused to discuss the case with a congressional committee Thursday. However, Bonnie R. Cohen, under secretary of state for management, told the lawmakers that now-retired foreign service officer Charles Parish was aggressively investigated in 1996 and the inquiry ``did not reveal criminal wrongdoing.'' Parish, subpoenaed to appear before the Government Reform Committee, said he was following his attorney's advice when he invoked the constitutional protection against self-incrimination. He declined to answer any questions except to confirm his identity. Jacquelyn L. Williams-Bridgers, the State Department's inspector general, also refused to talk about the case at the hearing. She said the Justice Department had advised her that discussing it could violate grand jury secrecy laws. The inspector general's investigation of Parish was conducted jointly with the FBI as part of the Justice Department's probe of campaign contributions, for which a grand jury was impaneled. Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung told the same congressional committee in May that Parish helped him get visas for dozens of Chinese. Chung said he ended his relationship with Parish after the president of a Chinese beer company asked him to deliver ``a shopping bag of money'' to the then-consular officer. Parish, a 16-year State Department veteran, handled visa matters at the embassy in Beijing from 1994 to 1996. He retired last year after being transferred to State Department headquarters during the investigation. Committee Chairman Dan Burton, R-Ind., said he was appalled at Williams-Bridgers' refusal to discuss the investigation. ``This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard,'' he said, saying it was typical of what he considered the Justice Department's stonewalling on campaign fund-raising issues under Attorney General Janet Reno. Burton said his staff found that foreigners are willing to pay up to $20,000 for a U.S. visa. He accused the State Department of bumbling its investigation of Parish, destroying documents before reviewing them and failing to interview witnesses or subpoena bank records. ``Everybody dropped the ball,'' Burton said. Cohen said the federal government ``aggressively pursued leads'' in the case and found no need to take action against Parish. She said he ``performed in an excellent manner'' on visa duties in Washington where he did not have the managerial responsibilities he had in Beijing. Peter E. Bergin, acting assistant secretary for diplomatic security, said Parish was investigated in Beijing in April 1996 when allegations of questionable management practices and special favorable treatment of some visa applicants were first raised against him. Files on the investigation were made available to the FBI and the department's inspector general in January 1998, he said. = 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 way to treat a soldier (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Washington Times-July 30, 1999 EDITORIAL No way to treat a soldier We have learned not to expect much by way of gratitude or graciousness from the Clinton White House. We have seen old friends and associates, public servants and volunteers alike treated with summary coldness by the Clintons when they were no longer needed. This White House is not a classy operation. Still, ever so often, the shabbiness with which the expendable are treated can be breathtaking. Case in point this week is the dismissal of NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark. Gen. Clark's three-year tour of duty was to have ended in July 2000 -- and could at that time have been extended. Indeed, given that NATO's political leaders all around declared their pride in NATO's air-war victory over Serbia, one might well have expected Gen. Clark to receive commendations and medals. Instead, the general got the pink slip. The general was informed this week, just days before the Balkan reconstruction summit in Sarajevo in which he should be a key player, that he's out as of April. Clearly the sentiment here in Washington is "Thanks for nothing." It is not just that the Gen. Clark was dismissed prematurely, but also the way it was handled. When Gen. Clark received the call on Tuesday, in the late afternoon, Washington time, he was on business in Latvia. That would be about 10 p.m. Latvian time. Within the hour, reporters started calling for comment, which is evidently how long it took for the Pentagon to leak the story. The general's dismissal was described in unison by the White House, the Pentagon and NATO headquarters in Brussels as entirely "routine," just a normal rotation. It is nothing of the kind. Gen. Clark was charged with the unpromising task of conducting an ill-conceived and illogical campaign in Kosovo, and he performed like a good soldier. There was friction, though, with Defense Secretary William Cohen. who received the general's call on Tuesday with frosty reserve. Steadfastly by Mr. Cohen's side have been the members of the highly politicized Joint Chiefs of Staff, who under Gen. Hugh Shelton ran interference for obviously political reasons in the way Gen. Clark wanted to conduct the war. Surely it is no coincidence that his successor will be Air Force Gen. Joseph Ralston, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs. No doubt, he will be more to the liking of Mr. Cohen and friends. Gen. Clark was, well, so bellicose. The issues over which the military leadership clashed during the Kosovo war are central to the failures now being reported in damage assessments. It was the leadership here in Washington that held back the deployment of the hapless and unused Apache helicopters, which Gen. Clark badly needed. Likewise, the NATO supreme commander strongly believed that ground troops were needed to flush the Serbian forces out. Mr. Cohen was adamantly opposed. What we have since learned confirms that the air campaign at 15,000 feet did very little damage to Serbian forces and equipment. Instead, it was the civilian population that took the punishment, the horror of the mass graves in Kosovo far exceeding international expectations. The decision to dismiss the general has unnerved NATO allies, among whom Gen. Clark is widely respected. It has also raised questions about the American commitment to keeping troops in Europe, given that Gen. Ralston has never held command in the area. Further, the appointment of an Air Force general appears to confirm that in the future American wars will be long-distance air campaigns. All of which does not appear to bode well for the future of NATO. = 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.

This comes on top of a report that Russia's industrial output has risen, though serving only domestic consumers who cannot afford imports. The only major export growth being experienced by Russia is in arms sales. Finally, Moscow has made it clear that it is simply unable to service its international debt. Russia's economy is introverting, reverting to a model reminiscent of the old Soviet Union. Closed off by inefficiency and lack of foreign capital, it is focusing its domestic economy on meeting domestic needs, limiting its interaction with the global economy for the most part to barter in machinery and raw materials, and earning its foreign currency with arms. The seal on this introversion may arrive in the form of default on international loans. Analysis: Russian First Deputy Premier Viktor Khristenko proposed at a meeting of the Confederation of Indian Industry in New Delhi on July 29 that India repay its debt to his country by establishing joint ventures in India that would produce civilian aircraft. The proposed ventures also include Russian upgrading of coal and power plants, and leasing of aircraft to India. Khristenko also signed an agreement with Indian Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha about partial repayment of the Indian debt by establishing a new nuclear power plant in India. Similarly, Russia is currently negotiating an agreement with Ukraine on repayment of a portion of Kiev's gas debt to Moscow in the form of 10 strategic bombers. Ukraine has offered to supply Tu-160 and Tu-95 bombers to Moscow. On July 28 Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov proposed a barter agreement between Russia and the Association of Southeast Asian States (ASEAN). "In view of the foreign exchange constraints in Russian and the ASEAN countries, the use of a mutually linked trade mechanism could be a promising area of trade relations for instance, food supplies to the Far East regions in exchange for Russian machinery and equipment," Ivanov said. Russia's return to barter reflects both the noncompetitiveness of Russian products and the strains imposed on Russian foreign currency reserves by the country's massive foreign debt. Reminiscent of the Soviet economy, during which the nonconvertible ruble forced exchanges like Pepsi syrup for Stolichnaya vodka, it is just one aspect of Russia's economic regression. Another feature of Russia's economic regression is its increase of industrial production to serve impoverished domestic demand while exports are on the decline. On July 15, the Russian Statistics Agency announced that Russia's industrial output was up 3.1 percent in the first six months of 1999 as compared to the same period the previous year. Officials said the fall of the ruble made Russian goods cheaper to manufacture and more competitive in the domestic market, where imports have become too expensive for most Russians. At the same time, Russia's GDP fell 2.9 percent year-on-year in the first six months of 1999. The only place Russian exports are surging are in the arms industry. Russia may be focused on barter because it can neither compete abroad nor afford imports, but this does nothing to help Russia's debt crunch. And giving its own debtors relief in the form of barter arrangements further limits Russia's ability to service its own debt burden. As it awaits additional loans to apply to its existing loans, Russia is heavily tapping its existing currency reserves. Russia's ITAR-TASS news agency has reported that, due to government debts, Russia's gold and currency reserves plummeted by $300 million during the week of July 9, to $11.8 billion. Barter may free up more of Russia's reserves for debt service, but without income form exports or payments from Russia's debtors, this is simply not sustainable. Moscow is aware of this, and has already begun arguing to international lenders that

TRUE STORY OF DRACO HUMAN SACRIFICE WHICH HAPPENS ALL AROUND OUR PLANET EARTH Part 1 I am submitting to all Dragonslayers a multipart true life adventure as told to me by one of our members as he experienced it 24 years ago. Some of you know him for who he is; a retired, at the age of 22, highly decorated Vietnam war veteran who was Special Forces trained and who served three tours fighting communists, rescuing POW's and working special missions for Air America. It cost him his right leg, yet he was still well equipped to meet this next period of his life. Keep in mind that the Soldier had no knowledge of Dracs at the time. When we met, and he began his new education to what is going on around him, I could see curious recognition from time to time coupled with a deep fear that he quickly hid. It was three months later that he told me of his 18 month ordeal in the Superstition Mountains in May of 1975 . The story came grudgingly at first; obviously with much mental pain, and with occasional reluctance and reservation. But because of what he knows now, taught by myself and others on DS, he knew he couldn't keep hidden what he now recognized as a Draco base camp. He desires to use for the present a fictitious name for his boss we will call "Phil Allen". Here is the beginning of his story of his life for two years among the Dracos and Pteradons with their little ( 5 foot) Pets!! In May of that year, I was asked to join a group of men who were bringing gold out of the Superstitions. The leader, Phil Allen, spent 20 years of his life researching Mexican archives, Spanish landgrants and Mexican Government documents. He discovered what he believed to be routes to 9 of the 12 Peralta family mines. Phil enlisted the aid of several others and together they found all 9. Using pack mules and horses, they moved in electric generators, hand held drills, food and supplies and set up a base camp 15 miles in. Others would keep this camp supplied and alternating teams of men would keep the mining camp suppliedwell supplied especially with ice, lots of ice as they liked to drink cold beverages, the one pleasure of the long hot day. Since the last of the mines, No.'s 7, 8, 9 were the most productive, they started there, core mining much in the ways the old timers had 150 yrs prior. The operation was covert. It was illegal for civilians to own bulk gold in those days. It was processed and flown out of the country. At 18 to 25 ounces per ton, it was a lucrative business at best. The mining camp was very small. It was at the top of a small arroyo or 'holler' and measured about 60' square.. flaked on two walls by cliffs going up...on one by a sheer 90' drop-off and open on the arroyo side which looked downhill of the 1/4 mile long arroyo. The mines were in the sides of the arroyo walls... so was the Draco entrance to their lair. Two-thirds of the way down from the mini-camp was a small stand of pinion pine trees..about 200 yards away and downhill. Phil Allen knew. He had known of their existence for over 20 years. He had read of them in the old archives. He knew what they were ...but not why- they were. Phil had spent his life in these mountains running down leads to the gold he was searching for. He saw them from time to time, following him, pacing his movements. Terrified at first, he soon came to the conclusion that if he simply ignored them nothing would happen and nothing ever did. It was different at the little camp, for in the arroyo walls was a fourth entrance, hidden behind brush as were all of the others. At first the group would set up a night guard for themselves. But it soon became evident that they could not continue mining by day and guarding by night. It was decided that they would hire a full time night guard. They lost five men in the first three months. One simply ran-never to be heard of again. Two returned via the base camp, not even stopping for water or supplies, they rode their horses clear out to U.S. 60 and on home! Two were found shredded, some parts missing but obviously quite dead. They were found down toward the end of the arroyo near a

-Caveat Lector- Amelia: Good points! As someone on the list aptly pointed out to me, the first descriptions of the man who went on a shooting spree were that he was a "sniper." Given that the actions of this man were completely different from those of a sniper, we have yet another example of how the media not only misrepresent the facts in an event, but also twist same to fit an agenda. Suffice it to say that the man was a "crazed gunman." :-) Edward in Atlanta + Our media does such a poor job when presented with a "live" event! I have heard several times that the family members were beaten to death. Later, the police spokesman said the mother was still "under a bundle" (apparently clothing in a closet) and no one had yet visually examined her.

Re: [CTRL] Plague of Locusts
-Caveat Lector- We can bioengineer special funguses to enforce pharmaceutical and fuel special interest monopolies, by selectively eradicating hemp, but we can't do the locusts yet? We are being run by monkeys. Economy of Lies The cost of enforcing the illegal prohibition of hemp and marijuana has been phenomenal. This cost has become a veritable pork barrel by which elitist politicians, at the behest of their elite owners, are able to abscond with huge amounts of the publics money, to enforce special interest laws that benefit only them and their industries. Monopolistic and dynastic characteristics epitomize industrys goals as far as fair competition is concerned. Fuels, Materials, pharmaceuticals, and recreational drugs (Budweiser:King of drugs) have been sewn up tight, with legislation and its attendant law enforcement keeping the lid and cuffs on for their bosses, the ultra-rich. Billions of dollars of the peoples moneys have been spent to secure monopolys that act directly against the interests of the public, as concerns business and fair competition. Years have been lost and gargantuan chunks of productivity thrown to the wayside, while huge conglomerates tighten the collar, nay, noose, to the point of strangulation. To enforce these laws of monopoly huge prison industries have been spawned, to incarcerate those who would have the colossal audacity to compete with big business on its own terms. Most times examples are made of the small fry "Criminals", fodder for the fear machine of television, which A) is NOT a press, and B) is owned by the very interests who wish to lock down opportunity and fair competition. Individual states are right now introducing action to sue for damages against tobacco. They say that the medical expense incurred by tobacco users warrants this, and they mean to recoup the losses of the monopolistic Federal Reserve Insurance Interests. My question is this. Once it is shown how badly Americans have been ripped off as far as fair competition in the marketplace is concerned, which means ever since hemp and its products and byproducts were illegally made illegal, and the beneficence of this crop is once again realized as an alternative to fuels and materials production; once the inmates who are serving time for using this natural substance as a recreational drug (mostly as an alternative to the very debilitative alcohol) get released from jail, who is going to sue government for all the lost time and lives spent in jails that were created for no other reason than to restrict fair trade in America? Who? The reason marijuana has not become re-legal so far is because government understands only too well the mistake that was made when they capitulated to William Hearst, and the Duponts and the Mellons when those apes railroaded hemp illegality through the law system by using yellow journalism scare tactics. They have been able to enforce the conditioning through television, but Americans are not really stupid and are waking up. So whos going to pay us back the money that was stolen from us? Where is the money going to come from? Who will pay to tear down the prison "INDUSTRY", which is still being used to restrict fair trade in American markets and the World, and who will pay to have them converted to useful and productive institutions, instead of the holding pens for those who have challenged the elitist criminals in control now? WHO? The lock down is so thorough that surveillance has become the norm among the elite who need every advantage they can lay their hands on, because people really are waking up from their television induced fear/hysteria. Prisons no longer need to be locked buildings and cells. It is possible, and has been well exercised by the super powerful, to make prisoners of anyone, at anytime, by controlling them through surveillance. Look at what is available as far as surveillance equipment is concerned, versus countersurveillance equipment. Look at the cost and understand, KNOW that the devices are restricted to only those of upper echelon means. The Goddess Columbia is dying, has been dying ever since she was raped and left bleeding in the gutter at the beginning of this century. But there are those to avenge her, and as ugly as her downfall was, the downfall of the perpetrators of lies and special interests will be AT LEAST that horrible when it happens. 10/9/98 Economy of Lies, Part II 5/1/99 ANYONE WHO CALLS TRUTHTERRORIS A LIAR. In a very real way we are, right now, standing in The House That Crack Built. We have become a product of certain "Controlled Conflict", namely The War On Drugs, which is itself a product of Hegellian thought which capitalizes on all aspects of a predetermined situation. We The People have been warred upon, and truthfully, most don't even realize it. Many think it only happens to other people. And nothing is farther from the truth.

Zombie Cow wrote: -Caveat Lector- http://www.washtimes.com/news/news3.html#link White House says information system not aimed at U.S. By Ben Barber THE WASHINGTON TIMES White House spokesman David Leavy on Thursday adamantly denied a new International Public Information (IPI) system would be directed at American audiences. IPI is a secret Clinton administration program to control public information disseminated by the departments of State and Defense and intelligence agencies. It is meant to "influence foreign audiences in a way favorable to the achievement of U.S. foreign-policy objectives," according to a draft IPI charter obtained by The Washington Times. But critics claim that IPI will be used for domestic propaganda. -- Continued from Front Page -- "That is totally inaccurate," Mr. Leavy said. "The IPI initiative is designed to better organize the government and the instruments we have to support our public diplomacy, military activities and economic engagement overseas. There is no impact on the domestic press." Mr. Leavy said that U.S. information officials at home and abroad serve different functions. "There are officers who work with the media in the United States and officers who support the U.S. policy overseas. They are totally separate. They are totally different functions," Mr. Leavy said. But a former deputy chief of the U.S. Information Agency (USIA) under three presidents said he fears the IPI plan would mean U.S. propaganda aimed at foreigners would be used to influence American elections. Gene Kopp, who served under Presidents Nixon, Ford and Bush, said the elections of President Kennedy and President Carter were directly influenced by leaks of USIA foreign public-opinion polls showing a decline in U.S. prestige abroad. "I am concerned this could happen again under the IPI plan," said Mr. Kopp, currently a Washington lawyer. "The administration is transferring all assets, except broadcasting, to State, where they will not be separated in any way. It will be very difficult to separate what is disseminated in the United States and overseas." He said that the opportunity for abusing the system will be great. "The temptation to spin this stuff in a partisan way will be very strong -- probably irresistible," he said. "The other ominous feature is that this includes the intelligence agencies. They are in the business of misinformation. God only knows where that goes." New allegations emerged Thursday that the Clinton administration has been trying to control how American news organizations cover foreign affairs, at least since the Bosnia peacekeeping mission in 1996. According to a former government official, who insisted on anonymity, the White House created a Strategic Planning Directorate, which used the State Department and USIA to pressure American reporters into favorable coverage of the U.S. troop deployment in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It came into being just prior to the 1996 presidential election. "I heard them talk about it in conference telephone calls --how they had to control the media out there, the bureau chiefs, because if the Republicans picked this up [the Clinton administration] would be exposed as having no foreign policy," said the former government official. Shortly after President Clinton won re-election in 1996, the administration announced that U.S. troops would not be home by Christmas, as promised. Today, nearly three years later, some 7,000 U.S. troops remain in Bosnia. "The U.S. public wanted to know how long American troops had to be there," said the ex-official. "The Clinton people said 'only one year,' and [that] they would be home in December, after the election. But everyone knew the only way to keep the warring sides apart was robust international and American presence." This former official said this was widely discussed. "In the conference calls, they openly discussed how they had to prevent American journalists from discussing this," he said. The source said that USIA officials and National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger tried to convince American editors not to publish accounts by their reporters who wrote that Bosnia was unsafe for Americans, that Muslim extremists were a threat, and that the warring sides would never be pacified. Ivo Daalder, who was a staffer on the National Security Council at the time, said discussions had no ulterior motives.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Today's Lesson From Friedrich Nietzsche by H. L. Mencken Every man is either a master or a slave, and the same is true of every race. Either it rules some other race or it is itself ruled by some other race. It is utterly impossible to think of a man or of a people as being utterly isolated, and even were this last possible, it is obvious that the community would be divided into those who ruled and those who obeyed. The masters are strong and capable of doing as they please; the slaves are weak and must obtain whatever rights they crave by deceiving, cajoling or collectively intimidating their masters. Now, since all moral codes, as we have seen, are merely collections of the rules laid down by some definite group of human beings for their comfort and protection, it is evident that the morality of the master class has for its main object the preservation of the authority and kingship of that class, while the morality of the slave class seeks to make slavery as bearable as possible and to exalt and dignify those things in which the slave can hope to become the apparent equal or superior of his master. The civilization which existed in Europe before the dawn of Christianity was a culture based upon master-morality, and so we find that the theologians and moralists of those days esteemed a certain action as right only when it plainly subserved the best interests of strong, resourceful men. The ideal man of that time was not a meek and lowly sufferer, bearing his cross uncomplainingly, but an alert, proud and combative being who knew his rights and dared maintain them. In consequence we find that in many ancient languages, the words "good" and "aristocratic" were synonymous. Whatever served to make a man a nobleman--cunning, wealth, physical strength, eagerness to resent and punish injuries--was considered virtuous, praiseworthy and moral, and on the other hand, whatever tended to make a man sink to the level of the great masses--humility, lack of ambition, modest desires, lavish liberality and a spirit of ready forgiveness--was regarded as immoral and wrong. = The Spy Business CIA Begins Recruiting on the Internet "If you can find our web site, you're hired." THE Central Intelligence Agency is advertising on the Internet for new spies as part of its biggest recruitment drive. It is seeking agents to meet the challenges of the new Millennium, the official in charge of covert activities was quoted yesterday as saying. Jack Downing, who is retiring after 30 years at the CIA, also disclosed that he had called on retired agents to help out in recent crises, such as the Kosovo conflict, and had recently re-introduced parachute training for all recruits. Mr Downing's enthusiastic retreat to the traditional values of espionage follows years of neglect of the CIA by Congress. The covert operations branch has been particularly starved of funds. The end of the Cold War has meant that spying on other major powers has been sidelined in favour of deploying the CIA against terrorism, drugs and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. "There was a lot of resentment," Mr Downing told the Washington Post. "We were being victimised for our role in the past and so there was a reluctance to take risks." But change has come about under the new director, George Tenet, and Mr Downing has found a sympathetic ear in Congress from Porter Goss, chairman of the House of Representatives intelligence committee. Andrew Gimson in Berlin writes: Two Germans suspected of spying for Russia were arrested yesterday, one allegedly "caught in the act" as he boarded a flight from Hanover to Moscow. Secret military documents were found in his luggage, it was claimed. The London Telegraph, July 30, 1999 What the Meaning of Is Is Clinton's Lewinsky Lies Cost Him $90,000 The Chinese have already delivered the cash. PRESIDENT CLINTON was ordered by a federal judge yesterday to pay more than $90,000 (£56,000) over his false statements about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. The order was made by Judge Susan Webber Wright, who had found him in contempt in April over the false testimony given in the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case. Mr Clinton has already paid Mrs Jones $850,000 (£530,000) in settlement of her claim, although he has denied any wrongdoing. Judge Webber Wright said the President had shown a "wilful refusal" to tell the truth and had given "false, misleading and evasive answers . . . designed to obstruct the judicial process". In her latest ruling, the judge said she was ordering the costs of lawyers to be paid so that Mrs Jones would not be left with the bill, and to act as a deterrent to "others who might consider emulating the President's misconduct". Mr Clinton will have to pay $89,484 costs to Mrs Jones's lawyers, Campbell, Fisher and Pike, who are based in Dallas,

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.senate.gov/~appropriations/commerce/2499jr.htm A HREF="http://www.senate.gov/~appropriations/commerce/2499jr.htm"Janet Reno's testimony, 2/4/99/A - Statement of Janet Reno Attorney General of the United States Before the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and State the Judiciary, and Related Agencies February 4, 1999 INTRODUCTION I am pleased to appear before you today to continue the dialogue between the Department of Justice and the Committee on our efforts to combat terrorism. At the outset, I would like to thank the Chairman for his leadership and express my appreciation to the Subcommittee for your interest and support in counter- terrorism matters. Since my testimony last March we have made progress on developing strategies to deter, prevent, and respond to terrorist acts. We have enhanced our process of interagency cooperation and consultation with state and local authorities to prepare for, respond to, and investigate terrorist incidents in the U.S. and abroad. I would like to highlight for you what we have accomplished on these fronts in the last year. As you know, under Presidential Decisional Directives (PDDs) 39 and 62, roles and responsibilities of federal agencies in counter-terrorism activities have been clarified. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the lead agency for responding to acts of domestic terrorism. The FBI continues to work to identify, prevent, deter, and defeat terrorist operations before they occur. We will not always be able to prevent every incident and we will have to respond to terrorist incidents here and abroad. In these instances the FBI will lead the federal response to a domestic terrorist incident through the coordinated crisis response mechanism of its Counter-Terrorism Section. In addition, the FBI works with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as the lead agency for consequence management. Building on this framework the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) in the FBI is now a reality and is working to detect and respond to cyber-based attacks on our critical infrastructures. Under its role as the designated lead agency for domestic terrorism, the FBI and the Department are taking positive steps to ensure state and local communities are prepared in the event of a terrorist attack involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD). We convened a stakeholders conference last August to get input and expertise from our federal agency partners in this effort, the Departments of Energy (DOE), Defense (DOD), Health and Human Services (HHS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and FEMA, as well as from the state and local first responder communities. Through the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici program first responders are receiving valuable training and communities are being provided protective, detection, and communications equipment. We have proposed the establishment of the Office of State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support (OSDLPS) within the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) to coordinate the delivery of training, equipment and technical assistance to state and local first responders. We have also proposed the establishment of the National Domestic Preparedness Office (NDPO) to be led by the FBI in partnership with OJP to provide a national-level coordinating office and single point of contact for the state and local responder community to access federal domestic preparedness programs, including those under the Department of Justice and other federal agencies. In order to provide a coordinated capacity to respond to terrorist incidents, the FBI has created -- through funding provided by this Committee -- the Strategic Information Operations Center (SIOC). The SIOC is staffed 24 hours a day as a command post to direct special operations and to respond to terrorist incidents. Working in coordination with state and local law enforcement the FBI has established 18 Joint Terrorism Task Forces operating in major cities. These task forces serve to enhance coordination and cooperation among federal, state and local law enforcement. Over 200 members of state and local law enforcement participate on these task forces with the FBI and other representatives from federal law enforcement to investigate terrorism incidents. With the support of and at the direction of this Committee, we worked with other agencies to prepare the Administration's Five-Year Counter Terrorism and Technology Crime Plan (Five-Year Plan) which was submitted on December 30, 1998. The Five-Year Plan serves as a baseline strategy for coordination of a national policy and capabilities to combat terrorism in the United States and against American interests abroad. As this Committee directed, the Five-Year Plan was developed in partnership with other federal agencies, and with the input of academia and state and local law enforcement.

[CTRL] Agencies lay groundwork for intrusion-detection network
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.fcw.com/pubs/fcw/1999/0510/web-fidnet-5-11-99.html A HREF="http://www.fcw.com/pubs/fcw/1999/0510/web-fidnet-5-11-99.html"Agencies lay groundwork for intrusion-detection /A - MAY 11, 1999 . . . 18:10 EDT Agencies lay groundwork for intrusion-detection network BY DIANE FRANK ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) A group of federal agencies has completed the initial model of a governmentwide intrusion-detection network that will provide a common center for response to cyberattacks on agencies. The Federal Intrusion Detection Network (FIDNET) is in the very early stages of development, and the group of federal agencies heading the development effort recently agreed on possible agency responsibilities and a reporting structure, said Tom Burke, assistant commissioner of information security at the General Services Administration's Federal Technology Service, today at the Outlook 2000 conference in Falls Church, Va. GSA, the Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office, the National Security Agency and the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center are all developing FIDNET as part of President Clinton's directive to protect the nation's mission-critical systems. The system is intended to provide all agencies with intrusion-detection systems that will allow agencies to locate incidents across the government as soon as they occur. It also will serve as a center for analysis of intrusions or attacks. The system will be made of three main blocks, with the civilian agencies reporting to the Defense and intelligence agencies and possibly a full-time program management office overseeing the whole system. FIDNET is based on the Defense Department's incident-reporting network, which is much further along than the efforts in the civilian agencies. "We're looking to leverage the work that has already been done at Air Force and DOD so we don't duplicate their effort," Burke said. The blocks eventually will include a similar network being developed in the private sector and the Federal Computer Incident Response Capability center at GSA, Burke said.

[CTRL] Department of Justice's FY 2000 budget request Highlights
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/2000-budget/index.html A HREF="http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/2000-budget/index.html"FY 2000 BUDGET REQUEST HIGHLIGHTS/A - FY 2000 BUDGET REQUEST HIGHLIGHTS The Department of Justice's FY 2000 budget will provide a $317 million increase over the 1999 level. The total $21.09 billion budget includes $4.15 billion from the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund, and $2.55 billion funded through a variety of fees. The budget highlights include: $1.28 billion for a 21st century policing initiative, helping communities reduce crime by employing new technology and personnel. $122.55 million in increased funding to combat cybercrime and support the Department's counterterrorism efforts. $738.24 million in increased funding to detain and incarcerate federal prisoners, and to hire law enforcement personnel. $148.1 million in increases to fight drug abuse and curb drug trafficking. $61.2 million in increased funding to provide state and local assistance for the reduction of youth violence, the prevention of juvenile recidivism, and to prosecute violations of federal firearm laws. $22.61 million in increases for civil rights initiatives, including new grants for health care provider protection. $152.35 million in new resources to guard against illegal immigration and promote legal entry to the United States. $124.21 million to fund public safety initiatives on Indian lands. $93.13 million to improve the Department's information resources management. $35 million in increased funding for the Department's litigation efforts, including $20 million in new resources to recover the expenses of federal health care programs for tobacco-related diseases. CONTINUING THE FIGHT AGAINST CRIME AND YOUTH VIOLENCE Crime has declined steadily for six consecutive years -- violent crime rates have fallen more than 21 percent since 1993 -- the violent crime arrest rate for juveniles has dropped 23 percent from 1994 to 1997. The Department's FY 2000 budget request will provide funds to help communities across the nation continue fighting, reducing and preventing all aspects of violent crime and youth violence. 21st Century Policing Initiative The Department's FY 2000 budget requests $1.28 billion for a 21ST Century Policing Initiative, a proposal that evolved from the COPS program. The initiative is designed to help communities maintain and reduce crime through a series of proposals aimed at assisting state and local law enforcement agencies. The initiative relies on more law enforcement officers on the street who are well educated, trained, and equipped. The criminal justice community needs the newest technology available to be able to keep pace with sophisticated criminals. Law enforcement today must have a solid technological infrastructure. This means possessing adequate computer hardware to utilize software such as geographic information systems for crime mapping, and having adequate resources to reduce the backlog of DNA samples. It means providing interoperable wireless communication systems and global information networks. It also means developing sophisticated technology such as the ALERT car, and improving the overall forensic science capabilities of state and local labs. The federal government cannot and should not fund all these requirements. But it can provide seed money for pilot projects, demonstration programs, one-time technological upgrades and laboratory equipment. A systematic approach requires addressing the needs of prosecutors as well as law enforcement. And it means focusing efforts of community crime prevention. $600 million to hire more law enforcement officers and to provide training, education and equipment. The resources will be used to fund between 30,000 and 50,000 more law enforcement officers over the next five years, with a focus on crime "hot spots." Of this amount, $25 million will be used to continue the discretionary grant program begun in 1999 that provides bulletproof vests to state, local and tribal governments for use by law enforcement officers. This funding also includes $30 million to continue the Police Corps Program and $20 million for the National Police Officer Scholarship Program, which will provide educational assistance to law enforcement officers. Another $20 million will fund programs to combat violence in schools and $50 million will help economically distressed communities retain officers. $350 million to help state and local law enforcement agencies tap into new technologies that will allow them to fight crime more effectively. This Crime-Fighting Technologies Program will promote telecommunications and systems compatibility among criminal justice agencies, foster improvement of the forensic sciences capabilities of state and local labs, and encourage the use of technologies to predict and prevent crime. The program has three elements: First, $100 million will fund a Crime Analysis Program. This program will provide

Was Kubrick Killed? John Madziarczyk You guys at Konformist have probably seen Eyes Wide Shut, but I figured I should throw my two cents in anyways..Well, I don't know about Kubrick dying because of portraying elites having sex, but I think it's pretty clear that Kubrick was using the idea of the Illuminati as a thematic device. Consider: the place where this 'group sex' occurs is at a different amazingly fancy house each time, the piano player is blindfolded during it.more importantly, what those 'group sex' accounts leave out is that it isn't just a bunch of rich people getting off, it's all ceremonial. Yeah, complete with officials in semi-ecclaisiastical garb, ritual masks, and chanting in an unknown language. The head guy walks around a circle of cloaked and hooded women in masks, censes them, and bangs his staff on the ground. I'm not too familiar with all the Illuminati history, but at least in Robert Anton Wilson's books wasn't group ritual sex part of the illuminati, plus in Crowley's accounts of various 'Rosicrucian' gatherings that he attended with the German leaders of the original OTO? The scene is just visually overwhelming, and I don't mean because of the women, really. And I don't think that he was commenting on anything 'real' working from experience or trying to tell anyone anything, the Illuminati serve to wake up this yuppie to the fact that there are other things in this world besides cute little dinner parties, vacations on Martha's Vinyard, and nice smooth upperclass whitebread life in general.

Kaplan, a veteran foreign correspondent who covered wars, peace talks, popes and British royalty, has died, his family said. He was 71. He joined the North American Newspaper Alliance as a correspondent in Paris in 1956. Before joining the Heart Newspapers in 1975, he also worked for the Montreal Star, Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and NBC. from Peter Dale Scott's essay on Lewinsky: But did you notice that the person who forwarded Linda Tripp's tapes of Lewinsky to the FBI was a book agent and pseudo-journalist called Lucianne Goldberg, who in 1972 "told the McGovern campaign that she worked for the North American Newspaper Alliance"? Goldberg's role was not simply that of a cut-out or messenger for Linda Tripp. On Jan. 22 she told the press "that she encouraged her friend Linda Tripp... to tape conversations with intern Monica Lewinsky." (All quotations are from an article in the January 23 San Francisco Chronicle, p. A11. She kept the tapes for Tripp and later turned them over to the FBI. If Tripp instigated Lewinsky, it would appear that Goldberg instigated Tripp. Both Tripp and Goldberg are apparently Republicans. Tripp was one of only two holdovers from the Bush White House. Goldberg was exposed in 1973 as "a spy for Nixon while she traveled with the press corps" covering McGovern's 1972 campaign. It was at this time that she said she worked for NANA (North American Newspaper Alliance), and supplied an address for NANA which "is the same as her current residence" in Manhattan.

- SNETNEWS Mailing List JFK JR.--THE FACTS == © 1999 NewsHawk Inc. All Rights Reserved (Rights of UNALTERED reproduction/distribution hereby waived.) There is no need to engage in speculation about the cause of the destruction of John Kennedy Jr.'s airplane and the deaths of all on board. WITHHOLDING OF INFORMATION == There is PROOF that significant facts are being withheld from the public. The withholding of this information CLEARLY PROVES official coverup regarding the cause of the plane's destruction. These facts, when considered in relation to each other give rise to the inescapable conclusion that the TRUE cause of the crash was deliberate, NON- ACCIDENTAL, hostile destruction of the aircraft. The proven COVERUP now in effect regarding these facts makes such a conclusion all the more certain. THE 9:39 PM RADIO CONTACT -- EVERYTHING "A-OK" == A UPI article datelined Aquinnah, Mass July 17 stated that Kennedy radioed the Martha's Vineyard flight controller at 9:39 PM the evening of July 16. The UPI article notes that WCVB-TV Boston reported this crucial information, as did ABC News. At the time of this radio contact all conditions in terms of the craft, weather and pilot were fine. Kennedy was well aware of his position, location, distance from land and all other such data. He was calm and in complete control of the flight and his craft. Interesting then that seconds after this call Kennedy's plane was hurtling straight down into the sea. This crucial information was reported by those news services noted and others on Saturday July 17 and early Sunday, July 18. By Monday morning July 18, ALL MENTION of this critically important communication had been ERASED from mass media accounts of the disaster. Simultaneously and suspiciously, on July 18 FAA and NTSB officials produced some "newly found" radar "evidence" which supposedly showed Kennedy's flight exhibiting signs of difficulties and irregularities at a time well BEFORE Kennedy made his radio contact, at which time all conditions were fine. THAT'S WHY all mention of this radio contact has been EXPUNGED from "official" accounts THE WEATHER--EXCELLENT! === Weather radar images from 10:40 PM Friday July 16, a mere hour after the time Kennedy's plane was destroyed, PROVE CONCLUSIVELY that weather conditions that evening at Martha's Vineyard were NEARLY PERFECT--with almost NO atmospheric humidity, moisture or "HAZE" registering on radar at all. SEE FOR YOURSELF! DON'T be bamboozled by big lie tactics and endless repetitions of "pilot error" due to "very thick haze" NOT TRUE! The images are reproduced at the following website -- http://members.xoom.com/flashradar/JFK.htm For this particular image being referred to, scroll all the way down to the BOTTOM of the page, to the UPPER of the two color images at the bottom. The image has the caption -- "OKX-NEW_YORK_CITYNY LVL1-REF17-JUL-99 03:40:12." This radar image shows the equipment was set for "CLEAR"; which in fact is much more sensitive to moisture than the "PRECIPITATION" setting. Although it shows substantial haze in the NYC and central Long Island areas, the region around Martha's Vineyard shows LITTLE OR NO atmospheric moisture at all; a scant hour after Kennedy's plane was destroyed. Plus his last radio contact indicated no problems or "disorientation" of ANY KIND! Overall light pollution from Martha's Vineyard as has been noted recently by residents make it even more unlikely Kennedy was the LEAST BIT disoriented. So we can scratch that bunch of disinformation that says Kennedy supposedly crashed his plane in haze so thick he couldn't even see the tremendous amount of light pollution emanating from Martha's Vineyard only a few miles away. Yeah, RIGHT! THE PILOT = John Kennedy Jr. was an extremely accomplished pilot who had at least SEVENTEEN YEARS familiarity with flying an aircraft. This information and other crucial facts regarding Kennedy's COMPETENCY as a pilot were relayed by Kennedy's federal flight licensing instructor in Vero Beach, Fla.; mr. John McColgan. McColgan called Kennedy an EXCELLENT pilot with many HUNDREDS of hours flying experience who had flown since 1982. McColgan noted that just recently Kennedy had completed training for getting his INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RATING: he just had not actually taken the test yet. ALL flight instructors who actually KNEW JFK Jr. and had firsthand knowledge of his abilities as a pilot described him as an excellent pilot who was exceptionally cautious and completely unwilling to take risks. The ongoing, slanderous media blitz claiming Kennedy was woefully inexperienced pilot who had no business flying around at night in impenetrable haze is nothing but UTTER lies an disinformation. Kennedy's radio contact with airport personnel and content thereof at 9:39 all but invalidate such claims of pilot error as the

[CTRL] The armed defense of liberty
-Caveat Lector- FRIDAY JULY 30 1999 The armed defense of liberty Despite the heroic efforts of Sen. Bob Smith to turn it back, the latest batch of irrational and servile restrictions on the Second Amendment continues to ooze its way through that allegedly deliberative institution, the Congress. Perhaps because the gun control debate is now so entirely drenched in the emotive sludge that is the principal intellectual food of our political establishment, this seems a good moment to recall the deep reasons, the fundamental context, that must inform any responsible deliberations on the question of an armed citizenry. I believe that underlying all of the prominent issues of the day -- abortion, the breakdown of the family and of our educational institutions, the betrayal of our national sovereignty and military readiness, and the ongoing expansion of government's tyrannical claims to tax and regulate -- we can discern what is essentially one moral challenge which manifests itself in many areas. Simply stated, that challenge has to do with the corruption of our understanding of freedom, which leads to the abandonment of respect for law and individual responsibility, the twin pillars which ought to under-gird true freedom. As a free people, our way of life depends upon certain moral ideas. As a matter of personal conscience, I believe that Christianity most perfectly embodies those ideas. But since Americans come from many different religious backgrounds, in dealing with issues of public policy, we must derive these ideas from sources that are open to support from all the people. Nothing meets this purpose more completely than the principles and logic of our own Declaration of Independence, so American citizens and statesmen should make it the explicit basis for dealing with the moral crisis we now face. The Declaration is fundamentally a statement of the principles of justice that define the moral identity of the American people. It presents a certain concept of our human nature and draws out the political consequences of that concept. All human beings are created equal. They need no title or qualification beyond their simple humanity in order to command respect for their intrinsic human dignity, their "unalienable rights." The purpose of government is to secure these rights, and no government is just or legitimate if it systematically violates them. But the Declaration is more than just an assertion of rights. It also makes a clear statement about the ultimate source of authority which commands respect for those rights. God, the Creator, the author of the laws of nature, is that source. Thus the effective prerequisite for human rights is respect for God's authority and His eternal laws. This is also the prerequisite for the idea of government based upon consent, which includes free elections, representation, due process of law, etc. If we accept the logic of our Declaration of Independence, this reverence for God is not just a matter of religious faith. It is the foundation of justice and citizenship in our republic. Therefore, our freedom is derived from our respect for law, especially the highest law as embodied in the will of the Creator. Thus freedom, rightly understood, cannot be confused with mere licentiousness. It first of all involves the duty to respect its own foundations in the laws of nature and nature's God. That's why our rights are "unalienable," which means that we do not have the right to surrender or destroy them by our choice or actions. Indeed, if we make the judgment that our rights are being systematically violated, we have the duty to resist and overthrow the power responsible. This duty involves both the judgment and the moral and material capacity to resist tyranny. These principles constitute our character as a free people, which it is our duty to maintain. It is in the context of these principles that we must understand the purpose of the Second Amendment, and the duties that it implies. The Founders added the Second Amendment to the Constitution so that when, after a long train of abuses, a government evinces a methodical design upon our natural rights, we will have the means to protect and recover those rights. If we make the judgment that our rights are being systematically violated, we have not merely the right, but the duty, to resist and overthrow the power responsible. It is very hard to do this if the government has all the weapons, something that our Founders and the generations before and after them knew from repeated and first-hand experience, as well as from a study of history. A strong case can be made, therefore, that it is a fundamental DUTY of the free citizen to keep and bear arms. The claim that the Second Amendment is principally concerned with the maintenance of state militias -- military bodies under the direction and control of state governments -- is not just
[CTRL] Witch Denies Claims FBI Was Responsible for Waco Fire[86murdered]
-Caveat Lector- Reno rejects suggestions FBI was responsible for Waco fire Fire consumed the Branch Davidian compound in 1993 Filmmaker says 'flash-bang' devices used July 30, 1999 Web posted at: 12:06 a.m. EDT (0406 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Attorney General Janet Reno on Thursday rejected the suggestion by a top Texas official that FBI agents may have ignited the Waco fire that killed 86 Branch Davidians in 1993. "I have found no basis for concluding that the FBI was in any way responsible," Reno told reporters. "We have reviewed it, and reviewed it," she said. Reno's response followed statements this week by James Francis, chairman of the Texas Public Safety Commission, that the FBI may have fired incendiary devices into the compound on April 19, 1993. Investigators concluded that sect members set the fatal fire, which swept through the compound. A Justice Department official, who asked not to be identified, said there was some evidence that so-called "flash-bang" devices were placed into the compound "during an earlier event" in the Waco standoff. The official, however, insisted that the Justice Department stands by the conclusion that the Branch Davidians set the deadly fires. A probe by the Texas Rangers became the backbone of a 1994 criminal trial in which eight Branch Davidians were convicted of charges ranging from manslaughter to weapons violations. More than 12 tons of evidence were gathered, and much of it is stored in Waco. The Texas Public Safety Commission oversees the Texas Rangers, which, at times, has had a tense relationship with the FBI. The Rangers and the Justice Department are currently squabbling in federal court over custody of the evidence used in the Waco investigation. The existence of evidence, which Francis called "at least questionable," was revealed in the Dallas Morning News Tuesday. Filmmaker says 'flash-bang' devices used The report said a documentary filmmaker was granted access to the material, which has not been made available to the public. A Justice Department official Thursday confirmed the filmmaker, Michael McNulty, had been given access to the evidence. McNulty, who is preparing a new documentary on the standoff, said he found that at least six items listed in Texas Ranger inventories as silencers or suppressers were actually "flash- bang" devices, commonly used by law enforcement to stun suspects. McNulty said the devices sometimes ignite fires in enclosed spaces because they emit a loud bang and flash driven by a small pyrotechnic charge. Texas Rangers' evidence logs indicate the devices were found in areas of the Davidian compound in which the fires broke out, McNulty said. "It's our belief that these pieces of ordnance could and probably did have an impact on the fire on April 19th," he told the Morning News. The Davidians and authorities became locked in a 51-day standoff after agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were fired upon when they tried to arrest the leader of the group, David Koresh, on February 28, 1993. The compound erupted in flames April 19 when federal agents punched through the walls and fired tear gas inside. Congressional hearings have pointed to mistakes by the law enforcement officers, but none has been charged with a crime. A lawsuit filed by surviving Davidians and the victims' relatives challenges the conclusion that the Davidians started the fire and also shot first during the raid.

The New York Times: August 10, 1973 [1] "One of those bomber pilots, wounded unto death, the stump of an arm dangling by his side, gasped at me through the bubbles of blood he spat out 'General, which side are Washington and the United Nations on?' It seared my very soul." General Douglas MacArthur [2] Today we risk the loss of our freedom because most Americans are poorly informed and do not understand what is really going on in the world. That is nothing new. Since the dawn of civilization, tyrants have used contrived incidents and foreign wars to their advantage. The only difference between then and now is the ease with which the masses can be controlled using the electronic and print media. In Ecclesiastes 1:9, King Solomon warned us that "There is nothing new under the sun," and Thomas Jefferson cautioned us: "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." [3] "Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong." [4] Each of us must strive to convince the public that most major media outlets are controlled by a small group of fabulously wealthy men who are intent upon using the power of the United States to force other nations to accept the rule of the United Nations, the government of the coming Antichrist. Those men work largely through the Council on Foreign Relations, the Eastern Establishment, and the Military Industrial Complex. One has only to watch the evening TV news channels to realize that all the commentators focus attention on specific issues while largely ignoring other stories. Control of the American media by the wealthy Elite is nothing new. In February 1917, Congressman Callaway inserted the following statement in the Congressional Record in an effort to expose the control of our newspapers by J.P. Morgan and his associates. Their intent was to use the print media to disseminate propaganda aimed at forcing the United States into the First World War. "In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests ... got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States. These 12 men worked the problem out by selecting 179 newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the purpose of controlling the general policy of the daily press throughout the country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy ... of these papers; ... an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information This contract is in existence at the present time, and it accounts for the news columns of the daily press of the country being filled with all sorts of preparedness arguments and misrepresentations" [5] By the end of World War II, the Rockefellers, and their front organization the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), rivaled the power of J.P. Morgan interests in controlling the major media and publishing outlets in the United States. Charles Austin Beard was America's leading historian during the first half of the twentieth century. Writing in the Saturday Evening Post on October 4, 1947, he warned: "The Rockefeller Foundation and the Council on Foreign Relations ... intend to prevent ... a repetition of what they call ... "the debunking journalistic campaign following World War I." Translated into precise English, this means that the Foundation and the Council do not want journalists or any other persons to examine too closely and criticize too freely the official propaganda and official statements relative to our basic aims and activities during World War II." [6] Even in 1947 it was apparent that the Rockefellers and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) had the power to censor the news. It is not simply by chance that since 1953 all but one American Secretary of State, all but one Deputy Secretary of State, all but one Director of the CIA, and every Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board have come from the Rockefeller-controlled Council on Foreign Relations. Indeed 6 of our last 9 Presidents have been CFR members. [7] In an article published in the Washington Post on October 30, 1993, page A21, entitled Ruling Class Journalists, Richard Harwood revealed that CFR members are: "... the nearest thing we have to a ruling establishment in the United States This is not a retinue of people who "look
[CTRL] (hetero) Brothers plead innocent in slaying of (homo) couple
-Caveat Lector- Brothers plead innocent in slaying of gay couple By DOUG WILLIS Associated Press Writer REDDING, Calif. (AP) -- Two brothers accused of slaying a gay couple pleaded innocent Thursday to murder charges that could carry the death penalty. Benjamin Matthew Williams, 31, and James Tyler Williams, 29, have been held without bail in the Shasta County Jail since their arrest July 7. The brothers, also suspects in June arson fires at three Sacramento area synagogues, are accused of murdering Gary Matson, 50, and Winfield Scott Mowder, 40. Matson and Mowder were found shot to death in their bed July 1 in rural Happy Valley near Redding, about 165 miles north of Sacramento. In a 10-minute court appearance, the Williams brothers each entered not-guilty pleas to two counts of first-degree murder, plus four related robbery, burglary and auto theft charges. They could face the death penalty if convicted. Superior Court Judge George Nelson scheduled a preliminary hearing Aug. 12 to determine whether the case should go to trial. The judge denied without explanation requests by the brothers' attorneys that he delay the preliminary hearing and close it to the public and press. "The chance for a fair and unbiased trial is reduced substantially by an open preliminary hearing," said James Webster, a lawyer representing James Tyler Williams. District Attorney McGregor Scott said that while the charges could be prosecuted as a capital punishment case, he would not decide whether to seek the death penalty until after the preliminary hearing. Evidence found in the brothers' homes also links them to fires that caused more than $1 million damage to the three synagogues June 18, investigators say. No charges have been filed in the arson case. The murders and the arson fires have been classified as hate crimes by the FBI. The Williams brothers were arrested in Yuba City when they went to pick up merchandise ordered with one of Matson's credit cards. One of the brothers wore a bulletproof vest, and they were armed with two assault rifles, a shotgun and 9 mm pistols and had Matson's wallet, driver's license and Social Security card, officers said. "We miss our friends," said Lee Macy, who knew the slain couple."It's frightening for a lot of people to think this could happen here." A search of the brothers' homes turned up a notebook containing names of people associated with the synagogues and found hate literature that included handouts from the World Church of the Creator, an Illinois-based white supremacist group. A former member targeted minorities in a Midwestern shooting spree over the Fourth of July weekend, killing two and wounding nine before committing suicide. http://www.sacbee.com/news/calreport/calrep_story.cgi?N210.HTML Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: a benefit/subsidy protection racket!

[CTRL] 'DWB or Driving While Black' by: Lucas Morel
-Caveat Lector- Clinton's Racial Policy Profile Editorial June 1999 by: Lucas Morel Police have recently come under fire for using racial profiles when questioning individuals suspected of committing a crime. And with Governor Christine Todd Whitman acknowledging that some New Jersey state troopers have been stopping motorists simply on the basis of their race, racial discrimination in law enforcement has become a national priority. Unfortunately, a recent executive order signed by President Clinton not only fails to solve the problem, it exacerbates the government's preoccupation with the race of American citizens. Clinton announced that agents of the Treasury, Justice, and Transportation Departments must soon report the race (and gender) of individuals they question or arrest. These agencies have four months to devise proposals for monitoring the racial make-up of their respective constituencies. The president also urged states and cities to follow suit. All will agree that DWB or Driving While Black should not increase the likelihood of one's being pulled over for questioning. But monitoring the race of individuals with whom law enforcement agencies interact is both the wrong means and leads to the wrong end with regards to eliminating racism. For starters, what would the government do with these statistics? Let's say that blacks, which make up 13% of the national population, are questioned in 70% of all arrests made in a given year. Is this evidence of racial discrimination? Any number of reasons could explain the disparity, regional demographics being the most likely explanation. Allowing government to keep track of the racial composition of citizens teaches our rulers that a citizen's membership in this or that sub-group of Americans is more important than his or her rights as an individual. And it's the individual, not his or her racial group that should remain the focus of government's protection. But in the fight against racial profiling, protecting the rights of the individual is replaced by a concern that a particular group not be subjected to disproportionate questioning or too many arrests. A judge recently threw out a case not because there was insufficient evidence to convict, but on the grounds that the accused was a member of a racial group that was disproportionately singled out for questioning! How does that secure justice for the victim in that case, or future victims of crimes? Ultimately, a reliance on statistical disparities in law enforcement would lead to a categorical prohibition of racial identification in law enforcement. This would make apprehension of criminal suspects more difficult, and therefore the last thing racial minorities should ask forespecially those living in communities unable to control the intimidation and violence of rogue elements. If a person falls victim to a crime, should he not tell a police officer every characteristic of the assailant that could aid in his capture? Is not race a telling detail that could narrow down the number of innocent citizens who would be questioned by the police in pursuit of the perpetrator? For now, at least, Clinton's crackdown on racial profiling would apply primarily to immigration and customs officials and patrolmen in national parks. Down the road, though, this policy would lead to a dependence on aggregate statistics as prima facie evidence that a particular agency has violated the civil rights of this or that minority group. Following the bad example of affirmative action, this would lead to the remedial use of racial goals, targets, or quotas in law enforcement, where the most likely beneficiary would be criminals who happen to be members of a racial group disproportionately targeted for apprehension. But crime has always been an equal opportunity employer. It doesn't need the federal government to ensure the right mix of colors among the criminal element apprehended in our communities. For the federal government to monitor the race of those questioned by law enforcement officials would constitute yet another intrusion on the lives of citizens whose race takes on more significance than their individual rights. If affirmative action has taught us anything these past thirty years, it is the futility of using racial discrimination to reduce racial discrimination. So, if government really wants people to stop paying attention to race, it should stop doing so itself. It would then stand a better chance of protecting the rights of every citizen, making civil rights the preserve not only of minority citizens but a blessing to be secured for all Americans.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.radioliberty.com/nlapr99.htm A HREF="http://www.radioliberty.com/nlapr99.htm"April 1999 newsletter/A - April, 1999 Dear Friend of Radio Liberty: Although it has not yet been officially declared, we are at war in Yugoslavia. American pilots are dropping bombs and firing missiles on Belgrade and Kosovo, while American soldiers stationed in neighboring Macedonia are preparing for battle. There are many unanswered questions about our involvement in Yugoslavia, the most disturbing of which are: "Why is it in our national interest to become involved in a civil war in the Balkans" and "Where does President Milosevic get his sophisticated weaponry, his Mig fighters, the supplies required for his army, and the funds needed to purchase armaments and maintain his dictatorship?" Before answering those two questions, let me draw your attention to what our leaders are involving us in. War is not a dramatic spectacle seen on a giant screen at your local theater, nor an exciting game played by weekend warriors using paint spray to mark adversaries. General William Sherman marched a Union Army through Georgia during the Civil War, destroying everything in his path. In a letter dated September 12, 1864 to James Calhoun, mayor of Atlanta, General Sherman wrote: "You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it." (1) Fifteen years later, during an address at the Michigan Military Academy, General Sherman stated: "War is at best barbarism ... its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell." (2) John Quincy Adams, America's 6th President, wrote: "America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. ... She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force." (3) Tragically, through the years, as political power has shifted from individual states to the federal government, the thrust of American policy has changed ... from preserving liberty in the United States to the use of force ... not only abroad, but here at home as well. We now murder and maim innocent civilians in distant lands without concern for human suffering. In Iraq, the U.N. embargo has killed hundreds of thousands of helpless children by depriving them of needed vaccinations, medicines, and food. Where is the public outcry against such barbarism? When was the last time you heard any American leaders speak out against the U. N. embargo of Iraq? On December 1, 1995 The Wall Street Journal reported: "U.N. sanctions against Iraq have resulted in the deaths of more than 560,000 children since the Gulf War ended in 1991, according to a study by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. The agency cited a sharp rise in child mortality and malnutrition rates." (4) Today, three-and-a-half years later, it is estimated that over one million Iraqi children and several million Iraqi adults have perished as a direct result of our embargo and our air strikes. We are told by the Establishment media that we must continue depriving Iraqis of the necessities of life because their dictator, Saddam Hussein, can manufacture nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, and he must relinquish that ability. If you accept that explanation, you have been deceived. One only has to remember that during the Gulf War our military forces advanced to within 60 miles of Baghdad and could easily have captured Saddam, but they were called back. Most people have forgotten that our government supported Saddam Hussein all during the 1980s when he was using poison gas against his own people and the Iranians, despite the fact that the use of poison gas violates every tenet of International Law. Where did Saddam get the components needed to manufacture chemical weapons? Senator Don Riegle held Hearings on the Gulf War Syndrome in an effort to determine the source of Iraq's chemical and biological weaponry. His findings are summarized in Seymour Hersh's book Against All Enemies. There you will discover that our government allowed Saddam to purchase the chemicals needed to produce poison gas, and licensed the sale and delivery of biological weapons to him up until January 1991. Not surprisingly, Senator Riegle's findings were suppressed by those working for the Establishment media. After all, the American people must never realize that we often create our enemies. Indeed, we have created some of the best

The first is that poetry and symbols have been used to transmit ideas, both good and bad, from generation to generation. The second is that many people don't understand how this happens because neither the media nor the Church tells them. Let me offer you an example of how poetry has been used to transmit ideas. For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; ... Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue; ... Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were furl'd In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world. Alfred, Lord Tennyson: Locksley Hall, 1842 (1) Tennyson's concept of world Federation had a profound impact on Cecil John Rhodes a generation later. Among Rhodes' papers at Oxford University, we find the following statement: "The idea gleaming and dancing before ones eyes like a will-o-the wisp at last frames itself into a plan. Why should we not form a secret society with but one object the furtherance of the British Empire for the bringing of the whole uncivilized world under British rule for the recovery of the United States for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire." (Cecil John) Rhodes Confession of Faith, 1877 (2) Did Cecil John Rhodes create a secret society to take over control of the world? If he did, how has that fact been concealed from public scrutiny, and should Rhodes' plan succeed, how will it affect our lives and the lives of our children? In Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem Morte d'Arthur, King Arthur lamented: "The old order changeth, yielding place to (the) new." In that poem Tennyson, who was a disciple of the occult, recounted the story of King Arthur and his Round Table and established the concept of a "new order" - a new world order. (3) Then in 1842 he composed his most important work, Locksley Hall, wherein he wrote: For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; ... Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue; ... Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were furl'd In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world. (4) That poem captured the imagination of those who embrace the belief that mankind can bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth ... without God. Through succeeding generations Tennyson's words have been repeated over and over again - to this very day. In last month's letter, I quoted from Edward Bellamy's book, Looking Backward: 2000 to 1887, published in 1888. There the author described society in the year 2000 - the world that will arrive in just 9 months. Surely it would have been more in accordance with the fitness of things had one of those prophetic and strenuous souls been enabled to see the travail of his soul and be satisfied; he ... a thousand times rather than I, who, having beheld in a vision the world I looked on, sang of it in words that again and again, during these last wondrous days, had rung in my mind: - For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see. Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; Till the war-drum throbbed no longer, and the battle-flags were furled, In the Parliament of man, the federation of the world. (5) Andrew Carnegie was a friend and associate of Cecil John Rhodes. In his book Triumphant Democracy, published in 1893, he wrote: The Parliament of Man and the Federation of the World have already been hailed by the poet, and these mean a step much farther in advance of the proposed reunion of Britain and America. (6) Here we see Andrew Carnegie referring to Cecil John Rhodes' dream of reuniting Great Britain and the United States which Rhodes referred to in his Confession of Faith. On October 27, 1993, on the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., a long-time member of the Council on Foreign Relations, proclaimed: The world of law will not be attained by exhortation. Law requires enforcement. Let us not kid ourselves that we can have a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in money. Maybe the costs of enforcement are too great. National interest narrowly construed may well be the safer rule. But let us recognize that we are surrendering a noble dream. Remember those lines of Tennyson that Churchill called "the most wonderful of modern prophecies", and that Harry Truman carried in his wallet throughout his life: - For I dipt into the future; far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that

Computers in Crisis was written in 1984 by Jerome Murray and Marilyn Murray, and revealed that most mainframe computers are programmed to crash with the advent of the new millennium. On the fly leaf of that book, we find: "Warning!!! Logical and mathematical flaws have been discovered in the design of worldwide programming and databases. These flaws will result in the Total Collapse of the world's computer systems on or before 2000 AD ... How did it all begin ... On November 1, 1968 the National Bureau of Standards issued Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 4 (FIPS PUB 4). It specified the use of 6-digit dates for all information exchange among federal agencies." (21) Thus, a 1968 directive from The National Bureau of Standards mandated the use of 6-digit dates for all Federal agencies, and the computer industry went along with that directive. What is even more revealing is the fact that it has been known for almost twenty years that mainline computers are programmed to crash with the advent of the new millennium, yet nothing was done to avert the coming catastrophe ... until recently. -- Om K - February, 1999 Dear Friend of Radio Liberty: In 1887 Edward Bellamy wrote: "On no other stage are the scenes shifted with a swiftness so like magic as on the great stage of history whence once the hour strikes." Edward Bellamy:Looking Backward (1) Edward Bellamy's famous novel Looking Backward, 2000-1887 was published in 1888. In that book, he described what the world would be like in the year 2000 as mankind entered the new millennium. He foresaw commerce, as we know it, would no longer exist, corporations would merge with government into The Great Trust, all men would receive equal pay, and everyone would work for the State. He wrote: "An American credit card" (will be) "just as good in Europe as American gold used to be", and "If bread is the first necessity of life, recreation is a close second, and the nation caters for both." (2) Did Edward Bellamy have foreknowledge of what was to happen as mankind moved through the twentieth century toward the year 2000? Much of what he predicted has come to pass: recreation has become an obsession, athletes are paid far more than physicians, and credit cards are accepted more readily than gold. How could he have foreseen such events? Because he was a dedicated Marxist, and prominent socialists have always been privy to The Plan to remake the world. (3) Following publication of his novel, Bellamy Clubs were organized across our land. With the passage of time the movement that Edward Bellamy birthed was co-opted by America's great tax-exempt foundations, and by those of great wealth who recognized that they could increase their personal power and influence by promoting socialism. (4) Today those who embrace Bellamy's dream control our educational system, our unions, our universities, our media, and his vision has become the quest of the leaders of both of our major political parties. What few recognize, however, is that behind the hidden force that promotes socialism lurks a dark spiritual force intent upon the destruction of civilization as we have known it. (5) Within just a little over 10 months we will be living in the world that Edward Bellamy envisioned, and of which he wrote: "On no other stage are the scenes shifted with a swiftness so like magic as on the great stage of history whence once the hour strikes." How could the United States be transformed into a socialist society in such a short period of time? What was Edward Bellamy referring to when he wrote "whence once the hour strikes"? Could it be that the Millennium Bug is destined to play an important role in the metamorphosis of our society? Will Y2K be used to usher in a magical transformation of our way of life? How did the Y2K problem really come about? Do you believe that a small group of skilled technicians got together and decided that everyone must remove the first two numbers of the year from their computer programs and encoded chips? How could those technicians have convinced software and hardware manufacturers to go along with their plan? Didn't they realize that mainline computers would crash with the advent of the new millennium? Are computer programmers and sophisticated manufacturers really that foolish, or did some government agency order the change from 8-number date sequences to 6-number sequences? If a government bureau did issue such a directive, why isn't that fact widely known? How long have computer programmers known about the coming computer meltdown? How bad will the Y2K crisis be?

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.radioliberty.com/nloct98.htm A HREF="http://www.radioliberty.com/nloct98.htm"October 1998 newsletter/A October, 1998 Dear Friend of Radio Liberty: I awoke on the morning of November 4 with a heavy heart. It was clear that American voters had repudiated the lofty ideals advocated by the Republican Party. It was not until I took time to reflect on the results of the election and the significance of the recent meeting of the California Republican Party that I was able to put the events of the November election into perspective. After the initial shock wore off I came to the conclusion that perhaps the recent Republican defeat was the best thing that could possibly have happened. Republican leaders claim that they favor cutting taxes, restraining big government, balancing the budget, providing a strong defense for America, and traditional family values. Is that really the case? On September 26, delegates to the California Republican Party Convention traveled to Long Beach to attend their State Convention. Although the vast majority of CRP members are conservative, the majority was not allowed to either discuss the issues, or have their views heard. Committees were stacked with moderates and liberals; someone put up almost $5,000 to purchase "phantom" CRP memberships for people who were obviously not going to attend the Convention so there could be no quorum; when it came time to discuss important issues, Liberal members walked out, someone called for a quorum count, and there being none, the Convention was promptly adjourned. Once again, the Liberal wing of the California Republican Party succeeded in using parliamentary procedures to thwart open discussion of the major issues facing our nation. Similar techniques are used regularly all across our nation to prevent conservatives from having an influence on the National Republican Party. One of the greatest tragedies of modern times is that most people don't understand how our political system really works; they honestly believe that we have a two-party system in which one political party is dedicated to socialism, the other to the preservation of individual liberty. Nothing could be further from the truth, and we must address that issue while there is still time to restore the Christian foundation of our once great nation. Republicans claim that they have balanced the Federal budget by cutting back on big government, and that there was a $70 billion budget surplus in 1998. In truth, however, most of the spending cuts have come from cutting back on America's military forces, and the purported $70 billion surplus represented money paid into the Social Security Trust Fund by workers who have been promised that their contributions would be invested for their retirement. Instead, the money has regularly been spent to pay for Federal expenditures, and secured with government IOUs which can neither be sold nor redeemed. Stealing from the Social Security Trust Fund is the means by which both political parties have funded our massive government deficits through the years without the knowledge or consent of the American public. The $70 billion Republican surplus actually reflects the fact that the government spent only $130 billion of the $200 billion that the Social Security System received in excess of what it paid out. All of the $200 billion should have been deposited in the Trust Fund and wisely invested for future payment to retirees, but instead all but $70 billion was spent to finance current government expenses. The leaders of the Republican Party insisted that the surplus should have been used to finance a tax cut while President Clinton stated that it should have been used to fund future Social Security payments. In actuality, Bill Clinton was correct. Tragically, the leaders of the Republican Party have increased the size and scope of the Federal government during this past four years, while claiming that they have reduced its size. It has all been rhetoric. Most people recognize that the Republicans have failed to keep their promises and have embraced big government along with their Democrat counterparts. We have been told that the Republican Party has cut back on federal spending, yet our government spent far more in 1998 than it did in 1994. We are told that the Republicans phased out farm subsidies, yet on the last day of the past Congressional session the House and Senate passed a $520 billion Omnibus Appropriations Bill that increased Federal spending for education, gave $7 billion in new farm subsidies, gave $18 billion to the IMF, and funded thousands of other new and old government programs effectively destroying "the balanced budget agreement" made with President Clinton. That appropriations bill was not available to members of Congress until just a few hours before the vote was taken. To my knowledge not one single legislator had the opportunity to read and analyze it before they were required to

[CTRL] The Population Control Agenda
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.swikull.com/pca/ A HREF="http://www.swikull.com/pca/"http://www.swikull.com/pca//A - The Population Control Agenda Dr. Stanley K. Monteith Part I One of the most difficult concepts for Americans to accept is that there are human beings dedicated to coercive population control and genocide. Many readers will acknowledge that our government is helping to finance the Red Chinese program of forced abortion, forced sterilization, infanticide, and control of the numbers of live births. Most readers will accept the fact that our nation is helping to finance the United Nations' world-wide "family planning program," a form of population control. Most rational men and women, however, find it impossible to believe that such programs are really part of a "master plan" to kill off large segments of the world's population. I shall have to admit that I studied the politics of AIDS (HIV disease) for over a decade before I finally came to a horrifying conclusion. The real motivation behind efforts to block utilization of standard public health measures to control further spread of the HIV epidemic was "population control." That was not an easy concept for me to acknowledge, despite the fact that I had long recognized that the twentieth century has been the bloodiest hundred-year period in all recorded human history. It was not until I journeyed to Elberton, Georgia, stood within the dark shadows of the great Druid monument built there, and read the words engraved on the massive stone pillars of that structure that I finally came to accept the truth. At taht point it became obvious that just as our Lord has given mankind Ten Commandments to guide our lives , so, too, those from "the dark side" have been given their instructions from the "one" they worship. The ten programs of the "guides" are inscribed in eight different languages on the four granite pillars of the American Stonehenge. That message foretells a terrifying future for humanity, and explains why efforts to approach the AIDS epidemic from a logical point of view have been consistently thwarted.1 Before you scoff, and reject my suggestion as sme sort of madness, check out my references, then try to disprove my conclusions. If my allegations are unfounded, you will soon recognize the deception and return to your daily activities, certain that there is no cause for concern. On the other hand, should you determine that my assessment is correct, or even partially correct, then you have a moral obligation to decide just what part you intend to play in response to the unfolding world genocide - how you will protect yourself, your loved ones, and the countless millions of helpless human beings throughout the world who have been marked for destruction. You must never forget the warning recorded for posterity by Martin Niemoeller, the Lutheran minister who lived in Hitler's Germany during the 1930's and 1940's. His words echo down to us over succeeding decades: "In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."2 You will note that the Reverend Niemoeller warned that after coming for the Jews the Nazis came for both Catholics and Protestants. Why is that fact never mentioned? The question that I am most frequently asked is, "How can you possibly believe that there are people who inted to kill off large segments of the world's population?" My answer is really quite simple. I hold that belief because I have read their writings. I believe they are telling the truth. Just as Adolph Hitler wrote of his plans for Europe in "Mein Kampf" (My Plan), so, too, those who intend to depopulate large segments of the earth have written of the necessity of limiting the world's population. The fact that the vast majority of Americans have never heard of their intent, of the George Guidestones in Elberton, or of "The Plan" and "The Hierarchy" attests to the degree of control that exists over what the American people have been allowed to know about the occultic forces which are working within our society today. = Part II Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood As you read on you will soon discover that I have primarily relied on material which can be readily found in books, audio-taped interviews, and public news sources.

Om K - Bush Name Helps Fuel Oil Dealings The old Petroleum Building in Midland, where George W. Bush had his oil company offices. (By Susan Biddle The Post) By George Lardner Jr. and Lois Romano Washington Post Staff Writers Friday, July 30, 1999; Page A1 Sixth of seven articles As world oil prices plummeted in the winter of 1985-86, George W. Bush faced the most serious crisis of his 11-year career as a West Texas oilman. Spectrum 7, his exploration and development company, had reported a net loss of $1.6 million in 1985, due to the fast-deteriorating value of its holdings. As the price of oil fell from $25 to $9 a barrel, the firm was on its way to losing another $402,000 by mid-1986. Bush's company owed more than $3 million in bank loans and other debts with no hope of paying them off in time. His investors had disappeared. On the cusp of his 40th birthday, Bush had two choices: Cut his staff to the bone, hunker down and pray for oil prices to climb before the banks foreclosed; or find a bigger company that was willing to scoop him up, debts and all. "I'm all name and no money," the son of the then-vice president used to say. Bush's name, however, was to help rescue him, just as it had attracted investors and helped revive his flagging fortunes throughout his years in the dusty plains city of Midland. A big Dallas-based firm, Harken Oil and Gas, was looking to buy up troubled oil companies. After finding Spectrum, Harken's executives saw a bonus in their target's CEO, despite his spotty track record. By the end of September 1986, the deal was done. Harken assumed $3.1 million in debts and swapped $2.2 million of its stock for a company that was hemorrhaging money, though it had oil and gas reserves projected to produce $4 million in future net revenue. Harken, a firm that liked to attach itself to stars, had also acquired Bush, whom it used not as an operating manager but as a high-profile board member. "One of the reasons Harken was so interested in merging was because of George," said Paul Rea, a geologist who had been president of Spectrum 7. "They believed having George's name there would be a big help to them. They wanted him on their board." The buyout not only rescued Bush financially but gave him the collateral for an investment a few years later in the Texas Rangers baseball team that eventually made him a millionaire. In addition to the seat on the board, he received more than $300,000 of Harken stock, options to buy more, and a consulting contract that paid him as much as $120,000 a year in the late '80s, when he was working full time on his father's presidential campaign. It was one of the biggest breaks of Bush's life. Still, the Harken deal completed a disappointing reprise of what was becoming a familiar pattern. As an oilman, Bush always worked hard, winning a reputation as a straight-shooter and a good boss who was witty, warm and immensely likable. Even the investors who lost money in his ventures remained admirers, and some of them are now raising money for his presidential campaign. But the story of Bush's career in oil, which began following his graduation from Harvard Business School in the summer of 1975 and ended when he sold out to Harken and headed for Washington, is mostly about his failure to succeed, despite the sterling connections his lineage and Ivy League education brought him. Thanks to his and his family's ties to wealthy investors around the country, including prominent Republicans, Bush was repeatedly able to raise money to invest in oil drilling, especially when prices were booming and tax breaks were inviting in the late 1970s. But connections could not help with the tricky business of picking profitable holes to drill, and Bush never made a big score. In fact, Bush lost money for most of his well-connected investors. At the same time, the management fees and other expenses he collected from them kept him in business and enabled him to buy oil reserves for his company's own account, including the reserves that eventually attracted Harken's attention. Three times during his years in Midland, Bush was saved from financial trouble or stagnation by the appearance of new partners or financial angels who gave him a fresh start. One was a Princeton classmate and friend of James A. Baker III, who was to serve as his father's secretary of state; another was a fellow Yale man who shared Bush's love for baseball. The third was

-Caveat Lector- I think John John Junior was murdered because of the potential threat that he posed to our Illuminist NWO elite. He had everything going for him: charm, good looks, youth and the Kennedy name. A JJ presidency would have lifted the hopes and aspirations of the nation's marginalized---and that would have been dangerous for the system. He would have given the people a universal health care system, or, heaven forbid, he would have improved the standard of living of America's wage slaves. And a JJ Jr. presidency would have been inevitably compared to the JFK presidency; so there is every likelihood that he would have been pressured by his constituents to move in a progressive direction. But given the mindset of our owners, they couldn't run that risk. It's clear that they have other plans for this place. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

And what meaning do you expect your delusional self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake? You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meat slapper. On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans- stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on the warm side of Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy
[CTRL] Fwd: The Surprising Political Economy of Skippy
The Surprising Political Economy of Skippy By Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman We'll say a word, and you tell us the first thing that comes to mind. Ready? Skippy. Yes, we have tried this on other people, and yes they agree with you: peanut butter. Skippy peanut butter. Made by the New Jersey corporate giant, Bestfoods. The same people who bring you Hellman's mayonnaise, Entenmann's baked goods, Mueller's pasta, Mazola corn oil, and Thomas' english muffins. Now, if you are older, there is a chance you will remember a comic strip character named Skippy. Skippy was the creation of Percy Crosby. Through Skippy and his other characters, Crosby lampooned politicians and crusaded against corporate crime, Al Capone, the Ku Klux Klan, and for civil rights, child labor laws and freedom of the press. In the early 1920s, Life magazine began running the Skippy strip, and Skippy was syndicated in newspapers worldwide from 1926 to 1945. Crosby became a wealthy man. In 1925, he obtained a federal trademark registration for Skippy. Enter Rosefield Packing Co,. which in 1933 began selling Skippy peanut butter, without getting permission from Crosby. On the peanut butter label, Rosefield used the same Skippy lettering, picket fence, and paint bucket made famous by Crosby in his comic strip. Rosefield was later bought out by the Corn Products Corporation (CPC, Inc.) which changed its name in 1997 to Bestfoods. Percy Crosby's daughter Joan Crosby Tibbetts believes that her father was wronged by Bestfoods and her predecessors and she is determined to tell her father's story to the world. Earlier this year, she put up a web site (www.skippy.com, also at www.rjriley.com/skippy) detailing her father's fight with the powers that be. Last week, Bestfoods asked a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia to order Tibbetts to take down large sections of that web site. What doesn't Bestfoods like about the web site? Here's one example: The web site claims that the Skippy trademark was "pirated by a bankrupt peanut butter company, which later merged with a Fortune 500 company, making a fortune in illicit sales under the Skippy brand name." Bestfoods wants Tibbetts and Skippy, Inc., her Annandale, Virginia-based company, to be held in contempt of court for violating a 1986 court order prohibiting them from "communicating in any manner with anyone that ... CPC has no rights in the Skippy trademark in connection with [food] products." Crosby went from millionaire comic strip author to being institutionalized for the last 16 years of his life. On the web site, Tibbetts argues that her father's downfall was the result of ongoing battles with CPC over control of Skippy. Bestfoods is being represented in the case by W. Mack Webner, a partner in the Washington, D.C. law firm of Sughrue, Mion, Zinn, MacPeak and Seas. Webner did not return calls seeking comment. According to the Bestfoods motion filed in federal court, Bestfoods asked Tibbetts earlier this month to "modify" her web site "to withdraw these false allegations." She refused. Tibbetts argues that her father's 1925 trademark applied to the word Skippy "howsoever written." But Gale Griffin, a spokesperson for Bestfoods, says that Crosby's trademark covered Skippy as a "title of cartoons depicting a humorous juvenille character -- that was what that was for, it was not for food." "Rosefield determined that no one was using the mark for food products and there were at that time no trademark registrations for Skippy for food products," Griffin said. But Tibbetts points out the current general counsel for Bestfoods, Hanes Heller, admitted in a 1977 internal company memo that "from a historical point of view, as opposed to a legal point of view, it would appear that at various times in the past we did 'plagiarize' in our labeling some of the Skippy comic concepts, notably the little boy and the fence." In 1977, Bestfoods did pay Tibbetts and Skippy Inc. $25,000 to resolve the dispute. Ron Riley, an activist who defends inventors, sees this as chump change. "Twenty-five thousand dollars is not reasonable compensation for a trademark of the stature that Skippy had in that time frame, especially when one looks at the time value of money," Riley said. "They litigated her into the ground. This is a similar kind of abuse that we see in the inventor community all the time, where big companies steal the inventor's work." "I have my hands full with the patent arena," Riley said. "But the story here is the same. You have this huge company jumping all over this mid-60s widow. I don't like it. This type of hardball litigation by a big corporation against an individual is out of line. It is the schoolyard bully mentality." Percy Crosby created a comic strip character who was known throughout the world. Now, when you say Skippy, people think peanut butter. How did this happen?

House Reinstates "Social Riders" in District of Colombia Appropriations Bill Taylor West, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Celebrations over last week's victories in the House Appropriations Committee disintegrated Thursday as riders to ban the use of local funds for needle exchange and for a medical marijuana initiative were tacked on to the District of Columbia spending bill during debate on the House floor. Both of these riders were removed last week in the House Appropriations Committee through amendments offered by Representative James P. Moran (D-VA). However, each was reentered into debate on the House floor Thursday. Representative Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) sponsored the amendment to ban all public funding of needle exchange in the District; it passed by a vote of 241-187. Perennial Drug War hawk Bob Barr (R-GA) continued his crusade against DC's 1998 public referendum on medical marijuana, sponsoring an amendment to disallow the implementation of medical marijuana measures, should such measures be accepted by the will of the DC voters. The votes themselves have as yet to be counted, having been impounded by a Barr amendment to last year's DC budget. Barr's amendment to this year's budget passed Thursday by a voice vote, meaning individual Congresspersons' votes were not recorded. The Tiahrt amendment underwent a full hour of debate on the floor before an inconclusive voice vote was taken. The roll call vote was postponed until later in the afternoon. When that vote was taken, 201 Republicans and 40 Democrats elected to deny DC the right to use its own funds to finance a needle exchange in the city. (See how your rep voted at http://clerkweb.house.gov/cgi- bin/vote.exe?year=1999rollnumber=344.) This year's Barr amendment took a slightly different approach than the one added to the DC budget last year. Last year, the budget forbade the use of any funds to count and certify the initiative. The ballots have been impounded since the referendum took place in November. This year's amendment allows the votes to be counted, but immediately overturns any result in favor of decriminalizing the medical use of marijuana. Under normal circumstances, if the initiative passed, the House, the Senate, and the Presidential administration would have 30 days in which to legislatively block it. If any one of those three bodies did not sign on, the initiative would become law. Barr's amendment supplants that review process by creating an automatic block. It passed by an uncounted voice vote after approximately 20 minutes of debate. DC Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) expressed dismay at the attachment of these riders, both on the floor during debate and in a press release following the votes. Addressing the Tiahrt amendment in the press statement, she remarked, "The prohibition on using our own funds to save the lives of our own people was unconscionable. We can't live with that result because kids and adults won't live if we do." On the floor, she praised DC Mayor Anthony Williams and the DC City Council for creating a responsible, balanced budget that included "prudent investments" in human services. "Their work should not be undermined by the imposition of the personal preferences of Members [of Congress] on a local jurisdiction when Members are not accountable to

[CTRL] Agitation for the Day 7/30/99
-Caveat Lector- A note of appreciation from the rich Let's be honest: you'll never win the lottery. On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it -- you're a member of the working caste. Sorry! As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in America. Of course, in a hierarchical social system like ours, there's never been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it's already occupied by us -- and we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way. But at least there's usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can easily find some poor slob further down in the pecking order to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless street people. Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work! You also probably don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. And even though you may sincerely want to change the way you live, you're also afraid of the very change you desire, thus keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo. So you go through life mechanically playing your assigned social role, terrified what others would think should you ever dare to "break out of the mold." Naturally, we try to play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: high-waged workers against low-waged, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, male against female, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against We continually push your wages down by invoking "foreign competition," "the law of supply and demand," "national security," or "the bloated federal deficit." We throw you on the unemployed scrap heap if you step out of line or jeopardize our profits. And to give you an occasional break from the monotony of our daily economic blackmail, we allow you to participate in our stage-managed electoral shell games, better known to you ordinary folks as "elections." Happily, you haven't a clue as to what's really happening -- instead, you blame "Aliens," "Tree-hugging Environmentalists," "Niggers," "Jews," Welfare Queens," and countless others for your troubled situation. We're also very pleased that many of you still embrace the "work ethic," even though most jobs in our economy degrade the environment, undermine your physical and emotional health, and basically suck your one and only life right out of you. We obviously don't know much about work, but we're sure glad you do! Of course, life could be different. Society could be intelligently organized to meet the real needs of the general population. You and others like you could collectively fight to free yourselves from our domination. But you don't know that. In fact, you can't even imagine that another way of life is possible. And that's probably the greatest, most significant achievement of our system -- robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability to think and act for yourself. So we'd truly like to thank you from the bottom of our heartless hearts. Your loyal sacrifice makes possible our corrupt luxury; your work makes our system work. Thanks so much for "knowing your place" -- without even knowing it! Rich $cum of America He who hath the gold makes all the rules. Please make copies and share with other members of your caste!

But isn't it interesting how so many people become obsessed with the physical remains of 'great men.' Most of us on this list have read of the theft of Geronimo's head by Yale's secretive Skull and Bones. Certainly, in Freemasonry, skull and bones imagery is pretty common. And from the post we learn that the head is secretly buried on the grounds of Sydney Sussex College. Why the need for secrecy. Was it just a fear that someone would dig the head up and use it for a commercial purpose...or was it a matter of fear of the magical properties of the head. I wonder how psychologists would explain this fascination with heads. We know that the ancient Celts collected the heads of their enemies. I guess those atavistic urges still survive from one century to the next. I'm VERY slowly catching up on posts that backlogged while I was on vacation, so excuse the tardy response. There's more to the cult of heads than you suggest, William. For example, the Britons (the Celtic inhabitants of Britain who eventually retreated to Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany) buried the heads of heroes at strategic spots like crossroads to protect their cities. The heads were also believed to have oracular powers, a trait which was common to the heroes of virtually all Indo-European-speaking peoples and many of their neighbors. Bob = Robert F.

Re: [CTRL] a book called The Dark Side of Freemasonry
-Caveat Lector- Hi ! Below please find information from the book "The Dark Side of Freemasonry" Sincerely, Neil Brick http://members.aol.com/SMARTNEWS/Sample-Issue-07.htm The Dark Side of Freemasonry(Huntington House Publishers - 1994) is a collection of articles about Freemasonry from a Christian perspective. It was edited by Ed Decker. Further information about the book will follow the article. Please note: all accusations are alleged. Warning: Information in this article may be triggering, please read with caution. In the first article, "Freemasonry and the Church: A Christian Worker's Perspective," Ed Decker begins by discussing his own personal past. He talks about his Masonic relatives and the connections between Masonry and Mormonism. He tells a story about being told by a Mason to stop disclosing Mormon church secrets, because the secrets were so similar to Masonic ones. He gives a brief history of the Masons. The original (Operative) Masons had secret handshakes and signs so Master Masons (Stone Masons) could go from city to city to work and impostors were kept out of the craft. Off the job, non-craftsmen joined them socially. He calls this "Social Masonry." "Spiritual/mystic Masonry goes back to the crusades. Eastern Mysticism came into the church via the Knights Templar. Crusaders brought Kabalah, Eastern Mysticism and Egyptian and Gnostic mysteries into the church. Also, the Essenes and priests of Nimrod (Babylonian mysteries) wore aprons that look like today's Masonic aprons. He mentions the following facts. The early power base of the Masons was the wealthy and powerful Knights Templar. Through the Illuminati the Masons (allegedly) became politically powerful. They helped influenced the French and American revolutions. In 1717 the first Grand Lodge met in England. The Declaration of Independence is written on a Masonic apron made of white lambskin. He describes several of the Masonic rituals, and discusses Manly P. Hall's (a high Mason) (possible) connections with Luciferianism. He mentions the Masonic use of the word "Abaddon," which in the New Testament is "the king of the pit of hell." The Eastern Star emblem is similar to the Goat of Mendes (Baphomet), its initials F.A.T.A.L. stand for the fatal attraction and bondage of Eastern Star. The Congressional Medal of Honor has an inverted star with three dots after each point (Masonic points). The streets around the White House were designed by a Masonic architect and form the Goat of Mendes. Jefferson and Franklin were both Masons. The statue of liberty was given by French Masons to American Masons and has Masonic occult symbols all over it. He discusses several cases where Masons in court had (alleged) 'advantages' over non-Masons. The origin of the red fez (may have) come from when the Muslims defeated the Christians in Fez, Morocco. After they murdered 45,000 people they dipped their white hats in the blood. An article in the Orlando Sentinel mentioned that 98% of the money raised in Shrine circuses was (allegedly) going to Shriner's parties, not their hospitals. The Knights Templar degree includes garments with pictures of a severed head dripping with blood, gory, severed heads, legs and arms, and a human cut skull that can be used as a drinking vessel. "I believe that Masonry is a multi generational curse" (page 30). In Dick Smith's "Freemasonry and the Hew Age World Religion," he talks about the (possible) connections between Masonry, religion and the New Age movement. The article discusses the plan of creating one world religion. He quotes Albert Pike and Manly P. Hall and shows how Masonry itself claims to be a religion and is identical to the mystery religions. Several quotes show a connection between the "Devil" and Masonry. "The Devil... is not a Person, but a force, created for good, but which may serve for evil' (Pike - page 70). Alice Bailey is quoted as saying that certain parts of Masonry will help form a New Age world religion. In Reverend Harmon Taylor's article "Mixing Oil With Water," he describes how the Masons (allegedly) killed a man for exposing their rituals. And I quote, "In the 1800's, Masonry was exposed, and the Masons abandoned their lodges for the shame of it. It cost one man, William Morgan, his life.. This man wrote all of the rituals of Masonry in a book. The Masons (allegedly) kidnaped him from Batavia, New York, then they moved him out to Niagara, stored him in Ft. Niagara for three days, and then they took him out in a beat. They tied a rope - the Masons would call it a cabletow - around his waist...with a weight on it, and gave him one half hour to make his peace with God.

You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer on the lips than be seen with you. You are a fiend and a sniveling, back-boneless coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you. You are a bloody nardless newbie twit protohominid chromosomally aberrant caricature of a coprophagic cloacal parasitic pond scum. And I wish you would go away. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a putrefaction, a big suck on a sour lemon with a lime twist. You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke- drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in regret for what they had done. I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformation. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, a ferment, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?

May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. Your hand even refuses autoerotism. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.

[CTRL] Fw: IUFO: Vibrations on Anthrax
-Caveat Lector- I don't appear to have part one sorry. -Original Message- From: V MORTZEKORPF [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, 23 June 1999 15:07 Subject: IUFO: Vibrations on Anthrax - IUFO Mailing List The entities devised the KOSOVO crisis to DEFUSE the anti- americanism in the Islamic world. This was designed by the careful energy measuring capabilities of the shapeshifters behind the Neuveau monde. They might have even made sure that Milosovich would not back down from invading Kosovo by planting crazy fantasies in his head and nourishing them. Anthrax is long lived due to having an oily coat around the bacterium. But it does not last for years in hot climates. Start of Forwarded message via Prodigy Mail From: John F. Winston Subject: Internet Message Date: 06/22 Time: 08:13 PM Part 2. I then asked her, "What are the microbes of choice?' To this she responded, 'Plague and Anthrax are the bacteria of choice. For you see, plague is easy to work with. We take the proper amount and kind of antibiotic and then we are fairly safe. Once you are finished, you can very easily clean up any spills with disinfectant. Any you miss will be dead in a couple of days. Anthrax would be used by specially trained cells for attacks on big cities. These cells have to be extremely careful, thus requiring a lot of advanced training. If you got some on your clothes and happened to inhale it several years later, it could kill you. So they will have to strip, thoroughly shower, and leave all articles of clothing that were worn during the attack behind. The only two other bacteria that were considered was Cholera and Typhoid fever but these usually do not kill. They only inconvenience people for a few days." I then asked her when she thought these attacks would begin. To this she responded, "Some time with in the next few years." Miriam said that she personally knew cells training to attack the Olympic Games when they are held. Also, the attacks are centered on three Muslim holy days that are coming up in the next few years, starting in July, One thing is certain, before the year 2001 this country's population will be reduced to less than fifty million. Miriam stated that she had no problem telling me all of this because 'no one will ever believe you." The door to the elevator opened just then and several students walked out. Miriam quickly entered the same elevator before the doors could close and was gone. That afternoon I started a barrage of phone calls to the F-I, the C-C, and just about every one that I knew to call. Miriam was right. No one cared. Every bureaucrat that I called simply was not interested. I called the CD- back and after an afternoon of phone tag I finally transferred to Fort C-llins, vector division. I told them what Miriam had told me, and they responded that they thought I had been watching too many science fiction movies, and not to worry about it. I asked them if they had a contingency plan if something like this ever occurred. They said that they did, so I asked them if they would send me a copy. They said that they would. But after a couple of weeks nothing had arrived. An explanation goes something like this: In the 1940's, when we first began to look into the possibilities of using Germ Warfare, there were few, if any, antimicrobial drugs. So we had no way of really protecting our own troops. It was not until the later 1960's, when adequate antimicrobials had been developed, that the possibility of Uusing Biological Warfare became a reality. However, about that time, it became apparent that just about any small country that could afford a laboratory could develop offensive weapons. At this point, The US Go-ernment started an active program of demonization of all aspects of Biological warfare. This included co-sponsoring the production of several movies: The Omega Man, the Virus, the Andromeda Strain, and others, in an effort to scare the h-ll out of the public. In 1972, this resulted in the United States signing the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological and Toxin Weapons and on their destruction. The US Government went on to glamorize those countries that possessed nuclear weapons, referring to it as the "Nuclear Club." The strategy worked. Numerous small countries invested large portions of their defense budgets toward obtaining nuclear power. However, the Iraqi war shocked many of these small countries into reality! They simply cannot afford to go nuclear. However, they can afford Bacteriological Biotoxin weapons. The lecturer stated very clearly that in the future we can almost certainly expect Biological weapons to be used by various terrorist organizations.

-Caveat Lector- Thanks Bob for the information! It's uncanny how so much of the ancient world is still with us...surfacing here and there in symbolism, rituals, folktales, myths...then all of it is recycled and served up anew in the media. And it surfaces in the practices and belief systems of the secret societies so many of us keep track of. There's nothing new under the sun.

And from the post we learn that the head is secretly buried on the grounds of Sydney Sussex College. Why the need for secrecy. Was it just a fear that someone would dig the head up and use it for a commercial purpose...or was it a matter of fear of the magical properties of the head. I wonder how psychologists would explain this fascination with heads. We know that the ancient Celts collected the heads of their enemies. I guess those atavistic urges still survive from one century to the next. I'm VERY slowly catching up on posts that backlogged while I was on vacation, so excuse the tardy response. There's more to the cult of heads than you suggest, William. For example, the Britons (the Celtic inhabitants of Britain who eventually retreated to Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany) buried the heads of heroes at strategic spots like crossroads to protect their cities. The heads were also believed to have oracular powers, a trait which was common to the heroes of virtually all Indo-European-speaking peoples and many of their neighbors. Bob = Robert F.

[CTRL] Media JFK Jr. assassination
-Caveat Lector- Sure Ed, a couple of comments: MOST important is that several facts that even this possibly sanitized and whitewashed (definitively so if one assumes a prepoderance of other evidence points toward an assassination) - stand in DIRECT repudiation of: Controlled monopoly "mainstream" disinformational media reporting of "reckless" pilot with "46 HOURS" of flight time. An hypothesis of journalistic error simply boggles the imagination in the face of easily verifiable facts indicating "over 100 hours" at time of FAA pilot's test over a year ago, not to mention the confirmation by NTSB of "about 300 hours" (presumably also a YEAR+ ago, "not counting time" in current Piper aircraft.) FAA pilot's test-administrator stated "over 100 hours" and "probably qualified as a COMMERCIAL pilot" as his characterization of Kennedy's piloting skills. Unless we agree to assume "journalistic error" of MONUMENTAL proportion, we must accept purposeful disinformation (obvious answer imho.) *IF* we *DID* agree to "journalistic error" ... would we not expect this revelation (300+ hours) to spark some interest on the part of "responsible journalists" (oxymoron?) to inspect this misinformation, and therefore consider more carefully the PROBABILITY of assassination? Is this not an IMPORTANT and WEIGHTY piece of information which was PRE-EMINENTLY used in spin-doctoring the "public opinion", which if an "error" we should expect a "responsible press" (haha) to emphatically RETRACT? Watch carefully; none will be forthcoming. *WHY* would the Kennedy family (all members of whom may be expected to have reasonable knowledge of the "about 300 hours" of flight time- hold complete silence on the disinformational "46 hours" lie propagated along with the ludicrous "reckless" image tar-brushing? (suggestions: Fear of further murderous persecution which is implicit in the location of the assassination, as well as in it's timing "commemerative" of a previous incident; holding silence so as to not inform the killers of their operatives' investigations) NO MENTION is made: Of the fact that there was a VOICE radio contact between Kennedy and the control tower at his ultimate destination immediately prior to the downing of the plane. No distress was indicted. No visiblity difficult was indicated. Eyewitness accounts indicating GOOD visibility. Eyewitness accounts of FLASH of light in the vicinity of the plane AT THE TIME of it's downing, consistent with Skolnick's bombing account. Other discrepancies: Two options are presented for "choice" to the "public" - pilot error OR mechanical malfunction. Any evidence or speculation regarding what actually happened (assassination) will be hidden by lack of media reference, by evidence tampering, etc. The LONG time interval between crash and recovery has been noted as UNUSUAL by knowledgeable persons who are not part of the coverup conspiracy- this allows time for the assassination/coverup conspirators to exploit the emotional value for hypnotic effect in PROGRAMMING the audience to accept "official prouncements," not to mention selling airtime.. as well as the time necessary to obtain suitably damaged aircraft portions to SUBSTITUTE for bomb/missle damaged portions of the Kennedy craft. Report states: "experienced pilots believe" ... and goes on to IMPLANT speculation regarding pilot error. PROBLEM: Disinformational machination is noted in that a pilot with OVER 300 HOURS - *IS* an experienced pilot. Speculation that such an EXPERIENCED PILOT became "disoriented" and FLEW INTO THE OCEAN is painfully stupid- as a PASSENGER with perhaps 300 hours of flight time, I KNOW which way is UP! As a pilot with ONE HOUR grin of flight time in a small plane- I KNOW which way is up. Any pilot with 300+ hours and reasonable visibility will NOT become "disoriented" and WOULD be able to pilot a plane such as Kennedy's to a soft crash landing even without an engine. NO mention is made of standard electromagnetic spectra monitoring data recordings and MISSING records for the exact two hour time period surrounding the incident which would have possibly corroborated a bombing or the use a star-wars "pulsed energy" weapon reputedly available at nearby Montauk Point. Pointless information noted: Prop rotation. This is a useless piece of disinformation. If the engine failed or seized, the prop would be rotating (free-wheeling.) The bomb Skolnick reported would have resulted in a crash with a prop rotating. The man was murdered by NWO operatives. The evidence is in the cover-up. It will not be found by "officials" with possibly mixed motives and possibly fraudulent "evidence." Just because you aren't paranoid- doesn't mean they're not out to get you ;) redistribute freely.

Despite the fact that the KLA "has no legal standing, they have created a fait accompli, and these days they talk not of ceding power to the United Nations but of cooperating as if they were equals." The KLA has ousted moderate Kosovo leaders, tried to assassinate at least one of them, and has been closely linked to Europe's major drug trafficking operations. JUST CURIOUS The State Department has inquired of at least one major progressive group what events it has planned during the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle this fall.

[CTRL] Freemasonry in Mexico
-Caveat Lector- We've discussed American and British Freemasonry at length on the list. I thought some of you might find it interesting to learn of the influence of Freemasonry in Mexico. For a few short years, I was teaching in Puebla, Mexico, a beautiful colonial city approximately seventy-five miles southeast of Mexico City. On my days off, I loved to explore the Polafox library located on the Zocalo, a tree-lined plaza in the heart of the old city. It was in this plaza that General Winfield Scott bivouacked his troops prior to his assault on Mexico City during the Mexican War. The Polafox is a beautiful library-- old leather bound books lined the high walls. The building had been constructed in the sixteenth century, long before the Puritans had landed in the New World. The library contains some of the earliest records of the Roman Catholic Church in the Americas...records of the indigenous people, historical accounts of the creation of Spanish America and other information that would delight any antiquarian. I managed to find references to the 'Alumbristas,' a secretive group that had been condemned by the Church for their heretical views. There wasn't much information on this group but it piqued my interest. Curious about the possibility that Freemasonry might have played a formative role in the history of Mexico, I made some discreet inquiries at the University of Puebla. To my surprise, I learned that many of the professors proudly sported Masonic rings..and one professor proudly informed me that every progressive impulse in Mexico was the direct result of Masonic efforts. After a little research, I discovered that Father Hidalgo, of "El Grito" fame, the revered patriot who led the first call for revolt against Spanish rule, was a Freemason. It was rumored that Hidalgo and his friends practiced satanic rituals in secret meetings prior to the revolt against Spain. Hidalgo would be executed for his role in the independence movement. We do know that the revolt against Spanish rule was led by members of the nobility who were also in touch with their North American and European Masonic counterparts. By the end of the nineteenth century, Masonic lodges were flourishing in every major city in Mexico. Many of the "scientificos," individuals who were interested in instituting European and American ideas in Mexico, were Freemasons. Interestingly, the Bush family, through their Texas associations and Zapata oil, have many connections with Mexico. It's clear that Freemasonry is very much a global affair.

[CTRL] Fwd: No Problem-Kennedy Plane, No Problem-Pilot!
7.30.99 Recipients-- Here's what the NTSB has to say about Kennedy's plane. As an investigative agency in the FIRST STAGES of an investigation, they have NO BUSINESS issuing anything but factual data. Speculative, unfounded and disinformative (at best) comments have NO PLACE in any such official "announcements". Unfortunately the NTSB engages in just such speculation and disinformation in their statements. What a surprise. To keep things straight we've countered such instances of official rumor-mongering with FACTS, in the article as reprinted below. NewsHawk Inc. == http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/US/Reuters19990730_1447.html WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Investigators have found no evidence that John F. Kennedy Jr.'s plane broke up in flight or caught fire, the National Transportation Safety Board said Friday. (This statement is FUNDAMENTALLY SPECULATIVE [of COURSE!], as the plane sure as hell broke up SOMEWHERE, and the NTSB has no basis WHATSOEVER for ASSUMING it broke up on water... ESPECIALLY considering there are several eyewitnesses to an AIRBORNE explosion!-JQ) The board also said it saw nothing that would have prevented either the engine or the propeller from operating. Kennedy, his wife and sister-in-law died when the Piper Saratoga he was piloting plunged into the waters off Martha's Vineyard two weeks ago. (This depiction by Reuters and/or NTSB that the plane was destroyed as a RESULT of "plunging" into water is SPECULATION and CONTRARY TO THE FACTS! Namely; that radar shows a flight with excellent conditions, a top-notch pilot and and a highly reliable, fully functional craft plunged into the sea RIGHT AFTER Kennedy radioed the airport indicating all was well with the flight... and RIGHT AFTER eyewitnesses saw and heard a large, airborne explosion!-JQ) Experienced pilots have THEORIZED that Kennedy, who was licensed to fly only under visual flight rules, became disoriented flying at night over the water and lost control of the aircraft in a spiraling dive on the evening of July 16. (More complete and UTTER speculation contrary to KNOWN facts!-JQ) "So far these findings are consistent with spatial disorientation that all human beings experience if they do not have reference to a horizon -- either a natural horizon or one provided by instruments," said Mike Pangia, a Washington-based pilot and aviation lawyer. (Kennedy DID have reference not only to the horizon--as visibility is proven to have been EXCELLENT, but ALSO he had clear reference to heavily populated and "light-polluted" Martha's Vineyard itself: he was only several miles from the nearest shore when his craft was destroyed!-JQ) In a statement the NTSB said Kennedy received an Internet weather forecast at 6:30 p.m. EDT showing the weather along his flight route from New Jersey to Massachusetts was good for visual flight with six to eight miles visibility. (Weather radar returns from ONE HOUR AFTER Kennedy's plane was destroyed indicate EXCELLENT conditions at Martha's Vineyard that night! The weather radar image at Xoom's website, http://members.xoom.com/flashradar/JFK.htm shows that the radar equipment at 10:40 Friday night July 16 was set in "CLEAR" mode. This mode is actually much MORE sensitive to moisture and such in the air than the "PRECIPITATION" setting. It can even detect SMOKE! Thus the dense, solid-looking returns around the NYC metro and (central) Long Island areas. Therefore it IS a valid interpretation that this radar image shows virtually no such heavy moisture around MARTHA'S VINEYARD at 10:40 PM July 16.-JQ) Kennedy did not take off from the airport in Caldwell, New Jersey, until 8:38 p.m. Although no special weather reports were posted, some pilots reported visibility over the water was significantly lower at that time. (In the NYC area!!-JQ) "Interviews of those pilots will continue," NTSB said. (Oh really?-JQ) The wreckage and bodies of Kennedy, 38, his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, 33, and her sister Lauren Bessette, 34, were found after a massive search using Coast Guard and Navy vessels. The ashes of all three were scattered at sea just over a week ago. The safety board said it had recovered about 75 percent of the fuselage, including about 80 percent of the left wing, 60 percent of the right wing and the instrument panel. The engine and propeller were examined at the hangar at the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station, Cape Cod, where the wreckage is being held. The prop and powerplant were then sent to their respective manufacturers for further study. (WHY have ALL previous news reports said the wreckage was being held at OTIS AIR FORCE BASE??-JQ) "No evidence was found during the examinations of conditions that would have prevented either the engine or the propeller from operating," NTSB said. Previously released radar data of Kennedy's final moments in the air show some turns and relatively gentle changes in altitude before starting a right turn and plunging at a rate of

[CTRL] Moldy-ing Public Opinion
-Caveat Lector- July 30, 1999 WAR PROPAGANDA AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE It wasnt enough for the Clintonians that virtually the entire news media marched in lockstep to the beat of the war-drums during the liberation of Kosovo; it wasnt enough that television broadcast nothing but endless loops of fleeing Kosovars, with close-ups of their tears-streaked faces; it wasnt enough that the pundits (the approved ones, anyway) only dissented to the extent that they wanted more Serb blood, and sooner. What the War Party wants is not majority support, but unanimity: no dissent is their goal. Toward that end, the Clinton gang has come up with what else but a new government agency! 'SPINNING' AS A FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT Citing a former administration insider, the Washington Times [July 29, 1999] has revealed that "a new multiagency plan to closely control the dissemination of public information abroad is really aimed at 'spinning the American public.'" What really sticks in the Clintonians' craw is that, in spite of an unprecedented barrage of war propaganda masquerading as news unleashed during the recent war, "the U.S. public has refused to back President Clinton's foreign policy." According to this unnamed official, the Clintonians are miffed that coverage of foreign news is "distorted" and are convinced that "they need to fight it at all costs." How? By "using resources that are aimed at spinning the news." And due to the extra-constitutional magic of Presidential Decision Directives, whereby the President can conjure new policies and the agencies to carry them out, the Congress is powerless to stop him. A SOW'S EAR And please don't tell me about the congressional "power of the purse." The recent revelation that the Pentagon has been spending money hand-over-fist on programs not authorized by Congress has shattered that myth hopefully forever. TOP SECRET This new addition to the federal nomenklatura, the International Public Information (IPI) system, created by Presidential Directive 68, is to be chaired by Morton Halperin, formerly "Senior Director for Democracy" at the National Security Council, and now head of policy planning at the State Department. The IPI working group, which met for the first time on Wednesday, is nothing if not ambitious: the IPI charter, still classified Top Secret, blends the functions of agencies like the old USIA and Radio Free Europe, ostensibly aimed overseas, with the scope and spirit of such World War II era organizations as the Office of War Information, which blanketed the US with pro-New Deal propaganda. The leaked text of the draft charter is written in typical bureaucratese, but the meaning is unmistakable: overseas propaganda will "be coordinated, integrated, deconflicted and synchronized with the [IPI] to achieve a synergistic effect" at home. Translation: American taxpayers will be footing the bill for the their own indoctrination.. BACK TO WILSONIANISM While all administrations since FDR's have used the governmental apparatus to make propaganda, they have usually done so under the rubric of selling the American line abroad. Especially during the Cold War, when the American elites saw the US locked in an ideological conflict with the Communist bloc, such institutions as Radio Free Europe and the USIA were justified as a method of selling "the American way" to the wavering Europeans and the Third World masses. Such programs had definite domestic political uses, but were rationalized as essential to the war against Communism. With the Clintonians, however, even this kind of pretense has been dropped, and we are going back to the era of Woodrow Wilson. THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC INFORMATION It was Wilson who first mobilized American intellectuals in a whole series of government-created and financed organizations whose sole purpose was to hector Americans into supporting his holy crusade to make the world safe for capital-'D' Democracy. The Committee on Public Information, created by Wilsonian decree, flooded the country with pamphlets, leaflets, and posters designed to inflame the war spirit and anathematize the Germans. Our noble allies, the British and the French, were depicted as angelic upholders of the human spirit against the demonic depredations of the Huns. HISTORIANS IN THE SERVICE OF THE STATE Wilson and the Wilsonians virtually militarized academia in an all-out effort to indoctrinate Americans in the justice of the Allied cause. Even the professional historians were enlisted: the National Board for Historical Service, a government agency, recruited American historians to the task of proving German war guilt and documenting the Huns' inherent barbarity. In their secular evangelism to spread the Word of Progressive Uplift to every corner of the earth, America's intellectuals did not have to be drafted into the army of war propagandists. They volunteered gladly,

-Caveat Lector- John Kennedy Jr. - Plane Crash Our investigation of the tragedy which killed pilot John Kennedy Jr. and his passengers has resulted in the following preliminary findings. 1. The so-called leaked "FBI document" released by Sherman Skolnick is a fake. 2. The so-called "Interpol Leak" is also a fake. 3. Officials lied about the true facts leading up to the crash. 4. Officials lied about the weather conditions in the area. 5. Officials lied about communication from the plane to the ground and the times of communication. 6. Officials lied about John Kennedy's experience as a pilot. He was an experienced, good pilot. 7. John Kennedy Jr. was flying visually at night over water when he should have been flying on instruments regardless of weather conditions. He did not have an instrument rating. 8. Even the best and most experienced pilots can become disoriented over water at night. 9. Tail numbers (so-called "N" numbers) of aircraft are not "serial numbers" of aircraft. 10. We have located two witnesses who claim to have seen an explosion in the sky in the direction of the crash at the exact time the incident occurred. 11. The bodies were not cremated the same day they were recovered nor the day after as the rumor mongers claim. 12.

[CTRL] Hot 'Lanta
-Caveat Lector- www.wsws.org - WSWS : News Analysis : North America : US Violence The Atlanta massacre: what it says about America By Barry Grey 31 July 1999 Back to screen version The US has witnessed yet another shooting rampage, this time in the exclusive environs of the Buckhead district of Atlanta, Georgia. By now the basic facts are well known: Mark Barton, a 44-year-old chemist-turned-stock market day-trader, killed his young wife and two children (from a former marriage) last Tuesday and Wednesday, and on Thursday went on a shooting spree at two brokerage firms. When Barton was finished, nine lay dead at the offices of All-Tech Investment Group and Momentum Securities, and another seven had been critically wounded. Some hours later, cornered by the police, Barton took his own life. To all appearances, Barton, a devoted father and Boy Scout master, was a fairly typical middle class resident of the quiet Atlanta suburb of Morrow. But his benign countenance masked a man in agonizing despair. He was reportedly in the midst of a painful separation from his wife, and deep in debt as a result of losses from his stock market ventures. He had ceased trading at All-Tech since April, evidently because securities bets gone sour had wiped out the $40,000 minimum required to maintain his account with the day-trading firm. Some press reports estimate his losses at more than $80,000. I have been dying since October, he wrote in a computer-generated note left at the apartment where he killed his sleeping wife and children. I wake up at night so afraid, so terrified that I couldn't be that afraid while awake. It has taken its toll. I have come to hate this life and this system of things. I have come to have no hope. Barton's note goes on to explain that he killed his children, whom he loved, to spare them a lifetime of pain. He loved his wife as well, but in some way held her responsible for his demise. His message concludes: I don't plan to live very much longer, just long enough to kill as many of the people that greedily sought my destruction. You should kill me if you can. This is clearly a man whose mental and emotional being had collapsed. It may not have been the first time Barton snapped. Although never indicted, he was the prime suspect in the brutal slaying of his first wife and mother-in-law six years ago. Barton took out a $600,000 life insurance policy on his first wife shortly before she and her mother were found slashed to death at a campground in northeast Alabama. He continued to protest his innocence of that crime, making a point of it in the confession-suicide note he left with the bodies of his current wife and children. Much has been made in the media of Barton's vocation as a day-trader, and there can be little doubt that the frenzied, pressurized life of a small-time market gambler played a significant role in his undoing. Some reports say he often traded thousands of shares at a time, rooted in front of a computer screen, in accordance with this particularly alienated form of social practice, in an attempt to cash in on the momentary fluctuations of various stocks. One industry source said the average day-trader, of whom there are an estimated 5 million in the US, makes between 2,000 and 3,000 trades in the course of a market day. That averages out to more than 300 trades per hour. And while there may not be a direct causal relationship between Barton's murder spree and the sharp drop in the market on Thursday (down more than 200 points when Barton walked into Momentum Securities), witnesses have reported that the assailant spoke of the day's losses before he pulled out his guns and began firing. In a concentrated way, the get-rich-quick fever which permeates the bull marketand is promoted by the media as the highest form of human endeavordominates the life of such people. In a matter of minutes, a lifetime's savings can be wiped out, and most of those who enter into this form of activity end up on the losing side. But it would be a form of self-delusion to conclude that day-trading in and of itself is the explanation for this latest example of social pathology. In any event, the phenomenon of day-trading is organically linked to a complex nexus of economic, social and psychological conditions that make up present-day America. No less vacuous are the attempts to reduce this latest massacre to a question of gun control (in the manner of Hillary Clinton and other liberal politicians), or the need for even more draconian law-and-order measures (as suggested by some pundits who have focused on the failure to arrest Barton for the murder of his first wife). Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell has been widely quoted in connection with Thursday's rampage. However the one remark of some honesty and perception which he made,
[CTRL] WHY IS EPA IGNORING MONSANTO?
-Caveat Lector- WHY IS EPA IGNORING MONSANTO? U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on August 15 ordered a grass-roots citizens' group in Missouri to turn over all of its records to the agency within five days or face penalties of $25,000 per day until the records are produced. Steve Taylor, leader of the Times Beach Action Group (TBAG) in Ballwin, Missouri, and a frequent critic of EPA, says he and the group have no intention of complying with EPA's order. In demanding the information from TBAG, EPA's Michael J. Sanderson cited Section 3007 of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which empowers EPA to gather information from the files of toxic dumpers and major polluters.[1] This is the first time the law has been turned against citizen activists trying to protect the environment. By invoking the law, EPA is threatening to destroy the Times Beach Action Group; TBAG is so small that even one day's fine of $25,000 would bankrupt the organization. EPA's threat represents a new twist on the phenomenon known as SLAPP suits. SLAPP suits are Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation.[2] They are an increasingly popular tactic being used by polluters in the U.S. to intimidate and silence citizens who voice concerns about destruction of the natural environment. The parties that bring SLAPP suits rarely win, but they tie up outspoken citizens in expensive and frightening litigation for years, thus deflecting effort and attention away from whatever the citizens had been speaking out about. In a letter dated August 15 and delivered by Federal Express, EPA's Region VII office in Kansas City, Kansas gave TBAG five days in which to turn over copies of all its records related to toxic dump sites in Missouri and Illinois.[1] TBAG was formed in 1993 to oppose the incineration of contaminated soils excavated from the town of Times Beach, Missouri --a town so contaminated with dioxins and pesticides that federal officials evacuated all the citizens from the town in 1983. The town of Times Beach was contaminated in 1971 by a waste oil dealer named Russell Bliss. Bliss picked up toxic wastes from Missouri chemical firms, mixed them with oil, and dumped them into the environment. Starting in May and June of 1971, Bliss sprayed toxic waste oil onto roads and horse arenas in eastern Missouri, ostensibly to suppress dust. Some of the oil was contaminated with the phenoxy herbicide 2,4,5-T and the 2,4,5-T was, itself, contaminated with dioxin. Three days after the initial spraying, birds began dying.[3] "There literally were bushel baskets full of those dead wild birds, " said Dr. Patrick E. Phillips, a veterinarian with the Missouri Division of Health.[4] Then horses began to get sick. Of 62 horses affected, 48 died. Dogs, cats, chickens, and rats died as well. Two children were affected, one with a severe kidney disorder, and were hospitalized for a time; they eventually recovered, though one lost half her body weight in the ordeal. The children's illnesses brought federal investigators to the scene from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta. The CDC analyzed soil samples at the affected stables and found 30 ppm (parts per million) of dioxin; 5000 ppm of 2,4,5-T, and 1350 to 1590 ppm of PCBs.[5] CDC took great pains to identify the source of the 2,4,5-T and the dioxin (they decided it was a hexachlorobenzene germicide plant in Verona, Missouri owned by Syntex Agribusiness, though leased to another firm) but the source of the PCBs was never identified. PCBs were produced from 1929 to 1976 by Monsanto, a St. Louis, Missouri, chemical giant. It is clear that EPA was interested in the source of the PCBs because in 1972 EPA's W.L. Banks was corresponding with W.B. Papageorge at Monsanto Research Labs about PCB samples taken from "the oil storage tank" at Russell Bliss's Waste Oil Disposal Company.[6] EPA even sent some of the Bliss samples to Monsanto. Officials have never identified Monsanto as the source of any of Bliss's PCBs. CDC and EPA widened their investigation throughout the 1970s. Meanwhile, Bliss continued to dump toxic oil at sites throughout eastern Missouri. By 1975, CDC recommended that people be evacuated from the homes in Imperial, Missouri, a place more contaminated than Times Beach, but EPA ignored CDC's recommendation.[7] By 1983, EPA had identified at least 100 sites thought to be contaminated by dioxin. Mysteriously, the agency refused to release the names of the sites.[7] According to the NEW YORK TIMES, in 1983 only 21 of the 100 sites had been sampled and the Missouri DNR seemed to be dragging its feet. The TIMES quoted Fred A. Lafser, then director of the Missouri DNR, saying, "The feeling is, why go look for more problems when we do not have the staff to solve what we know about?"[7] In a 1990 agreement with EPA, Syntex Agribusiness agreed to take sole responsibility for the cleanup of 27 toxic dump sites in eastern Missouri,

Critics within the medical community itself say the drug is being overprescribed by doctors whose understanding of ADHD [Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder] is woefully inadequate. They charge that the hallmark symptoms of the disorder - inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity - could describe just about any child." -- "The Rise of Ritalin" from The Morning Journal Although there is no medical proof that there is such a thing as Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), over 3.5 million children in the United States are diagnosed as having some form of it. It is considered America's number 1 childhood psychiatric disorder and in the U.S. we prescribe Ritalin to treat it at a rate that is five times higher than the rest of the world combined. Ritalin and other medications represent the second prong in what appears to be the medical community's two-pronged effort to treat or control the "disorders" suffered by a whopping 10 to 20 percent of U.S. children [Boston Globe, 6/28/99]. (See my previous July 1999 commentary, "Children: Their Deficiencies, Disorders, and Developmental Delays" for discussion of behavior modification - the other prong in the treatment effort, spearheaded by the new medical specialty Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.) Peter R. Breggin, M.D., of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology writes in Talking Back to Ritalin (published by Common Courage Press) that: · A large percentage of children become robotic, lethargic, depressed, or withdrawn on [Ritalin]. · Withdrawal from Ritalin can cause emotional suffering, including depression, exhaustion, and suicide. This can make children seem psychiatrically disturbed and lead mistakenly to increased doses of medication. · Ritalin is addictive and can become a gateway drug to other addictions. It is a common drug of abuse among children and adults. · ADHD and Ritalin are American and Canadian medical fads. The U.S. uses 90% of the world's Ritalin. CibaGeneva Pharmaceuticals (also known as Ciba-Geigy Corporation), a division of Novartis, is the manufacturer of Ritalin. It is trying to expand the Ritalin market to Europe and the rest of the world. · Ritalin "works" by producing malfunctions in the brain rather than by improving brain function. This is the only way it works. · Short-term, Ritalin suppresses creative, spontaneous and autonomous activity in children, making them more docile and obedient, and more willing to comply with rote, boring tasks, such as classroom school work and homework. · There is a great deal of research to confirm that environmental problems cause ADHD-like symptoms. · A very small number of children may suffer ADHD-like symptoms because of physical disorders, such as lead poisoning, drug intoxication, exhaustion, and head injury. Physical causes may be more common among poor communities in the United States. · Ciba spends millions of dollars to sell parent groups and doctors on the idea of using Ritalin. Ciba helps to support the parent group, CH.A.D.D., and organized psychiatry. · The U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) push Ritalin as vigorously as the manufacturer of the drug, often in even more glowing terms than the drug company could get away with legally.

It will be released by St. Martin's Press in January 1999.) -- -- *** U.S. RUSSIAN MILITARY RELATIONS *** By John Feffer If the U.S. government had wanted to destroy Russia from the inside out, it couldn't have devised a more effective policy than its so-called "strategic partnership." From aggressive foreign policy to misguided economic advice to undemocratic influence-peddling, the U.S. has ushered in a cold peace on the heels of the cold war. Containment remains the centerpiece of U.S. policy toward Russia. But it is a "soft" containment. It is Containment Lite. On the foreign policy front, for instance, Containment Lite has consisted of a three-tiered effort to isolate Russia: from its neighbors, from Europe, and from the international community more generally. The Clinton administration's policy of "geopolitical pluralism," designed to strengthen key neighbors such as Ukraine and Kazakhstan, has driven wedges into the loose confederation of post-Soviet states. By pushing ahead recklessly with expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) both in membership and in its mission, the U.S. government is deepening the divide that separates Russia from Europe, effectively building a new Iron Curtain down the middle of Eurasia. Instead of consulting with Russia over key foreign policy issues such as Kosovo, the Iraq bombings, and allied policy toward former Yugoslavia, Washington has attempted to steer Moscow into a diplomatic backwater where it can exert little global influence. Part of this three-tiered foreign policy of "soft" containment has been to eliminate Russia's last claim to superpower status--its nuclear arsenal--without providing sufficient funds for mothballing the weapons and without pursuing commensurate reductions in U.S. stockpiles. By implementing a missile defense system, the U.S. has put several arms control treaties in jeopardy; by opposing key sales of Russian military technology, arguing that these sales would lead to arms proliferation while itself continuing to export weapons technology, the U.S. has applied a double standard. By announcing the largest increase in the military budget since the end of the cold war, the Clinton administration began 1999 with a clear signal that Russia's decline would have little effect on the Pentagon's appetite. Under its cold war containment policy, the United States relied on aggressive rhetoric and military might to confront a powerful Soviet Union. By contrast, today's Containment Lite takes advantage of Russia's economic and military weakness and, at first glance, has relied more on carrots than sticks. In reality, however, the U.S. has wielded these carrots much like cudgels. Washington's aid and investments, expert advice, and high-profile workshops are designed to reduce the military and diplomatic reach of its erstwhile superpower rival and to remake the
[CTRL] Chemical Firms Reject Hazwaste Underground Injection
-Caveat Lector- http://ens.lycos.com/ens/jul99/1999L-07-30-02.html Chemical Firms Reject Hazwaste Underground Injection By Donald Sutherland WASHINGTON, DC, July 30, 1999 (ENS) - One of the world's largest chemical manufacturers is drastically cutting back the use of hazardous deep injection wells for disposal of liquid toxins. DuPont, the largest corporate user of hazardous waste underground injection wells in the United States, expects by the year 2000 to cut its use of injection wells to dispose of toxic waste by more than 95 percent. The company currently operates 30 Class I injection wells. Chad Holliday, president and CEO of Dupont (Photo courtesy Dupont) By the year 2000, DuPont expects toxic waste going into injection wells to decrease from a high in 1989 of 256 million pounds to less than ten million pounds. About 15 percent of the reduction will be due to the delisting of non-aerosol forms of hydrogen chloride as hazardous. The rest will be due to source reduction, recycling and technology improvements. Using all methods of disposal, Dupont annually disposes of 1.5 billion gallons of hazardous waste per year according to the Ground Water Protection Council, a not-for-profit group representing regulators of underground injection control wells. In rejecting underground injection wells Dupont joins another of the world's largest chemical firms, Dow Chemical. The actions taken by DuPont and Dow Chemical raise questions about the safety of a program the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) promotes to handle over 60 percent of the nation's hazardous liquid waste. In 1980, Dow Chemical closed its last hazardous Class 1 UIC well. "Back in the 1970s management did not believe Class 1 UIC wells for hazardous waste were right, and they developed a corporate policy against them," says Mike Rio, global director for environment, health and safety for operations at Dow Chemical. "Our last hazardous Class 1 UIC well was closed in the early '80s, and we are now reliant on incineration and recycling and our waste reduction program," Rio told ENS. Manager of environmental stewardship for DuPont, Ed Mongin said, "Our largest toxic releases are in deep underground injection control (UIC) wells. While management feels our current program is safe, we felt diminishing support from communities and society with these Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) releases." "Under our corporate pollution prevention program, we are working on major alternative projects to deep UIC wells which are cost effective," says Mongin. Class I underground injection well in Florida (Photo courtesy Florida Internet Center for Understanding Sustainability) Diluted liquid industrial wastes are injected through wells thousands of feet into geologic formations that serve as environmental protection barriers for as long as the waste, containing mostly salt water, remains hazardous. Those permitted to use deepwell disposal for hazardous material must file petitions by certain deadlines demonstrating that the waste will not migrate to the environment in a hazardous form for at least 10,000 years. EPA officials contend the Class 1 UIC program is safe. Some are skeptical of DuPont's promise to drastically reduce reliance on deep injection wells. "DuPont vacillates left to right on this issue, and now that the company is approaching their year 2000 deadline they are asking to extend all their Class 1 UIC permits," says Bruce Kobelski, UIC team leader for the EPA. DuPont's latest commitment to drastically reduce deep injection wells for disposal of hazardous waste has isolated those industries still reliant on the
