[CTRL] Australia May Face Nuclear Threat From India]
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: Australia May Face Nuclear Threat From India Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 10:27:02 +0930 From: Straykat [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Image] Thursday, August 19, 1999 http://www.theage.com.au/daily/990819/news/news23.html Australia may face nuclear threat By CHRISTOPHER KREMMER NEW DELHI, WEDNESDAY Australia could theoretically be dragged into a nuclear conflict involving India and the United States under India's draft nuclear policy released yesterday. The doctrine of ``retaliation only'' released by the Hindu nationalist government promises that India would not be the first to use nuclear weapons against states that do not possess such weapons. However, it does not offer such a pledge to countries which do have nuclear weapons or to nations allied to nuclear powers. ``India will not resort to the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons against states which do not possess nuclear weapons, or are not aligned with nuclear weapons powers,'' it says. Australia, Japan, South Korea, Germany and most member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation - all of which have defence treaty obligations with the US - would by implication be potential Indian targets in any nuclear exchange with the US. The document's release appears to be an attempt to revive the nuclear issue before Indians begin voting in national elections on 5 September. The government - which conducted five nuclear blasts last year and declared India a nuclear weapons state - believes the issue is a vote winner. However, India's national security adviser, Mr Brajesh Mishra, said it was hoped the doctrine's release would encourage a debate on the issues. ``This is a draft ... it will have to wait for a new government.'' A victory at the polls could be used as a green light for the doctrine, which analysts said envisaged a much more ambitious nuclear arsenal than the credible, minimum deterrent the government had previously said it required. The doctrine calls for ``sufficient, survivable and operationally prepared nuclear forces'' on aircraft, mobile land-based missiles and at sea. India's forces and their command and control system should be organised for ``very high survivability against surprise attacks and for rapid punitive response''. The bombs would be under the control of the prime minister or his successor. An undeclared border war between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, and last week's shooting down of a Pakistani maritime surveillance plane by India, have heightened concerns about the subcontinent as a nuclear flashpoint.

[CTRL] Government to Monitor Money-Wires
-Caveat Lector- Money Transmitters Must Now Register By MARCY GORDON .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Big cash transmitters like Western Union and thousands of storefront check-cashing and money order operations now will be required to register with the government as part of a Treasury Department move to disrupt money laundering by drug traffickers. Treasury officials announced the regulation Wednesday. It stems from legislation enacted in 1994 as lawmakers became aware that parts of the multibillion-dollar money-services business have been used by drug traffickers to illegally transfer large amounts of cash. The officials view the new rule as a strike at the ``Achilles heel'' of organized crime - the need to convert illegal and unusable proceeds into usable funds. An estimated $57 billion in drug money is laundered each year. Elisabeth Bresee, assistant Treasury secretary for enforcement, said some drug traffickers have moved their money laundering from banks to money-services businesses as banking regulations have been tightened. ``The money launderers are creative,'' she told reporters in a conference call. ``That's why we're trying to cut off all avenues.'' The money-services businesses will have more than two years to register with Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, known as FinCen. The requirement will take effect on Dec. 31, 2001. Failure to register will be considered a crime, punishable by fines of $5,000 a day and up to five years in prison. ``The great majority of money-services businesses in the United States are law-abiding,'' said FinCen Director James F. Sloan. The officials estimate the rule will apply to 5,000 to 8,000 businesses nationwide, including big corporations such as Western Union, American Express and Travelers Express/MoneyGram as well as independent storefront operations. The businesses, which transmit money, sell and redeem money orders and traveler's checks, cash checks and exchange foreign currency, account for an estimated $200 billion a year in transactions. By requiring the businesses to register with the government every two years, the officials said they will get the first comprehensive look at the money-services industry - where the companies are, who owns them and what services they provide. That will help law enforcement authorities discover where money laundering may be occurring and the risk of prosecution could drive ``underground'' businesses into the open, they said. The businesses also will be required to provide lists of their authorized agents starting Jan. 1, 2002. The new rule builds on a special emergency order that Treasury put into effect in 1996 after evidence showed that some money transmitting businesses and their agents in New York had engaged in a scheme to move drug money to Colombia. The temporary order required some money transmitters in the New York area and Puerto Rico to report information about all transmissions to Colombia and the Dominican Republic of $750 or more. A dozen transmitting businesses were discovered to be sending $800 million a year to Colombia, far more than would be normal for people to send home to relatives, Ms. Bresee said. Under existing law, money-services businesses must report any currency transactions exceeding $10,000. Treasury postponed a decision on a proposal that would lower that threshold. Peter Ziverts, a spokesman for Western Union, said the new rule was ``not too onerous'' for the company and its 26,000 agents in the United States.

[CTRL] Bank of NY / Russian Mafia
-Caveat Lector- N.Y. Bank Said in Laundering Scheme NEW YORK (AP) - As much as $10 billion may have been laundered through the Bank of New York in the past year in what investigators say is an operation run by Russian organized crime, The New York Times reported Thursday. Some $4.2 billion passed through a single account between October and March, the newspaper reported, citing unidentified investigators. The bank has suspended two senior officers in its Eastern European division - Natasha Gurfinkel Kagalovsky of New York and Lucy Edwards of London - pending the outcome of the investigation. Ms. Kagalovsky declined comment. An aide to Ms. Edwards said she was traveling. Investigators here and abroad have examined whether front companies are raising money in North America for organized crime activities in Russia. The accounts under scrutiny at the Bank of New York have been linked to Semyon Yukovich Mogilevich, who is believed to be a major figure in Russian organized crime, the Times said. In a statement, the bank said it was cooperating with investigators and said no customer or bank funds had been lost. ``There are no allegations of wrongdoing by the bank,'' the statement said. The Bank of New York, with assets of $67 billion, is the nation's 17th largest. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Gene makes males more caring -- and monogamous: scientists
-Caveat Lector- Gene makes males more caring -- and monogamous: scientists LONDON, Aug 19 (AFP) - Whether males are more or less caring and monogamous may depend on a single gene, US scientists have discovered by creating a transgenic mouse, Nature magazine reported. Tom Insel and Larry Young of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia inserted a gene in the mouse from a prairie vole, a rodent known for its fidelity and sociability. The modified mouse, naturally antisocial and polygamous, adopted the behaviour of the gregarious vole. The researchers had long studied vasopressin, a naturally occurring hormone in most mammals, including humans. They had already shown the influence of the hormone on the social behaviour of male voles -- communication, aggression and sexual behaviour. After administration of vasopressin, the modified mice started to become monogamous. In monogamous species like the prairie vole, vasopressin facilitates affiliation, pairbonding and paternal care, Nature said, whereas in the closely related montane vole, which is polygamous, the hormone fails to influence social behaviour. The new research, including a study of the molecular structure of the vasopressin receptor genes from several vole species, has come up with an explanation. In prairie and pine voles, which are monogamous and gregarious, the scientists found a long string of DNA, which turns on the gene, while it was missing in the more solitary and promiscuous montane and meadow voles. To determine the effect of this genetic difference, the researchers incorporated the prairie vole receptor gene into the genome of mice, which then adopted the vole's social behaviour. Insel said: "Perhaps it will turn out that mutations in this same gene have occurred many times in evolution, leading to alterations in patterns of social interaction and facilitating monogamy under special socio-ecological conditions." This was the first transformation of an anti-social mouse into a more sociable animal through genetic manipulation of a specific receptor in its brain, the American scientist said. The team is now planning to focus on variation in the receptors in humans. Very little is known about the anatomy, chemistry and physiology of social bondformation. Discovery of such information could be relevant for treating pathologies marked by isolation and detachment such as autism, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease -- as well as making the ideal husband. -- --- NOTE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.

We thought long and hard about whether to cover the 2000 race for the White House. On one hand, it appears to be a foregone conclusion, and it seems almost redundant to dignify it with detailed coverage. After all, we told you that George W. Bush would be the Republican nominee and the next president, as long ago as January 1997. On the other hand, how can anyone resist the temptation to share the fascinating machinations inside the Beltway? So here we go. Perhaps Senator John McCain was right to sniffily recuse himself from last weekend's Iowa Straw Poll, claiming it was all a sham. Maybe he's right, but in the reality of modern politics, even a very showy sham has become a real and vital political event. There were no real surprises in the Iowa winners and losers. Mr. Bush spent $100 per vote to ensure his victorious 31.31%, and Elizabeth Dole did reasonably well with 14.40%, giving her a good third place. If, as is looking increasingly certain, they become the ticket, their unified vote comes to some 46%, which is more than enough to unify the Republican Party and charm voters into voting for yet another New World Order administration. Steve Forbes, who spent $203 per vote to gain his 20.77% of the vote, raises a core question: whether or not his candidacy is genuine. We believe it is not. It poses as a conservative alternative to Bush-Dole, but we have come to believe that it is a deception being played out on conservatives in order to keep their allegiance within the Republican Party. Here's a clue: Mr. Forbes' campaign and corporation are chaired by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, a Bush insider and NWO figurehead if ever there was one, whose private business was one of the greatest beneficiaries of the Kosovo war. So have he and Mr. Forbes abandoned the Elite and had a sudden change of heart? Hardly. We believe that a deal has already been struck between Bush-Dole and Mr. Forbes. The idea is this: Mr. Forbes runs a strong campaign appearing to be semi-hostile towards Mr. Bush and Mrs. Dole. We regard Mr. Forbes as a pragmatic, intelligent man, who is bright enough to know he will never be President of the United States. Eventually therefore, he reasons, he will have to capitulate to Mr. Bush's steamroller. Why not, therefore, strike a deal in advance instead of being forced to do so in

[CTRL] Stranger things have happened
-Caveat Lector- Right wing conspiracy theories--- Stranger things have happened Is there more to the London nail bomb attacks than meets the eye ask Nick Griffin? Spearhead - June 1999 Editor's note: We think it probable that the London bombs were timed to coincide with our European election campaign - whoever carried out the attacks. If they were not so timed, these atrocities were very convenient as a basis for yet another smear campaign against the BNP - hence our interest in the matter. It appears to be common knowledge among journalists that the man charged with the bomb attacks was not a loner, but a member of the political wing of the state-controlled or infiltrated C18 at the time of the bombings - and a group with nothing to do with ourselves. Only poor Joe Public does not know. If the media say they cannot reveal such political background details because of the forthcoming trial, then how could the The Mirror reveal that the arrested man attended a meeting of the BNP in 1997 - before disappearing? The legal answer is that matters of broad public interest can be discussed in good faith in advance of a trial, and are legally protected. The above issues are very much a matter of public interest, and their discussion in no way reflects any view or is intended to reflect any view about the guilt or innocence of the arrested person. IN BRIEF: WE ACCUSE! It is clear that the London nail-bombing suspect was involved in a state-sponsored 'pseudo-gang', and will have distributed material with the connivance or tacit approval of the security service. In any event, the security services may have hoped that the bombs would create a wave of media-led public hysteria which would a) derail the largest electoral effort by a British nationalist organisation in 20 years; b) allow the introduction of the kind of repressive laws proposed by the Macpherson Report, and c) provide a pressing reason for a huge increase in state funding for MI5 which would safeguard jobs threatened by the end of the Cold War and the possibility of relative peace in Northern Ireland. THROUGHOUT much of April, the BNP's national press officer, Michael Newland, and the party's Media Monitoring Unit, headed by Phil Edwards, had to fight an uphill battle against an avalanche of media smears and innuendo resulting from the alleged 'neo-nazi' bombing campaign in London. Prompt and hard-hitting submissions to newspaper after newspaper clearly took effect, with editors quickly learning to avoid trying to make the grotesque direct links between the party and the cowardly outrages. The party's PR team did even better on national radio, where there is no doubt that the BNP actually won the argument, with official party spokesmen and sympathetic members of the public dominating the main 'phone-in and current affairs programmes. Television, of course, is a much harder nut to crack, but even here a string of BNP complaints forced a toning down of some of the wild speculation of the first days of the crisis. Flying colours All-in-all, the party's media response machine came through its baptism of fire with flying colours, with references to the Media Monitoring Unit in heavyweight liberal-left publications such as The Guardian and Tribune magazine showing that its effectiveness is being noted in all the right circles. And then, just as quickly as the story blew up, it died away completely with the arrest of the alleged 'lone bomber' David Copeland. In fact, the story vanished so thoroughly, and the police were so eager to stress the bomber's complete lack of connection with any 'extreme right-wing group,' that experienced observers of the dirty tricks operations of those responsible for the multiracial 'experiment' are increasingly sceptical about the whole business. Demonisation Research at St. Catherine's House has shown, to the author's satisfaction, that Copeland is not Jewish, and that the claims by the fascist fundamentalist International Third Position that he is are based on a mixture of paranoia and perverse wishful thinking. Whoever carried out the bombings, if the BNP s policy of capital punishment for terrorism were in place, he or they would, if guilty, hang for the crimes. This would still have to be the case even if those responsible were in fact alienated victims of a multi-racial education system which even left-wing experts are now beginning to acknowledge shuts out and marginalises white children -- a product of `anti-racism', not of `racism'. On account of what was reported in all the media as a firm police statement that Copeland had no connections with any political group, the BNP assumed at first that we had never had any contact with him. Then, on 25th May -- just in time to try to revive the media hysteria before the European election -- the Daily Mirror ran a front page story claiming that Copeland had attended several BNP meetings in 1997. Since the individual's face was blacked out in the photos reproduced in the

[CTRL] JFK Jr almost hit jet
-Caveat Lector- http://cnn.com/US/9908/18/PM-Kennedy-Investigation.ap/index.html KENNEDY FLIGHT CAME CLOSE TO JET BEFORE CRASH August 19, 1999 Web posted at: 4:24 a.m. EDT (0824 GMT) PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- An hour before it crashed, John F. Kennedy Jr.'s plane came close enough to an American Airlines plane that a radar controller alerted the crew on the jetliner, investigators said. The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed the incident but it was not clear how close the planes came to each other, The Providence Journal reported Wednesday. The planes were close enough to prompt the traffic advisory to the commercial plane, but there was "no apparent risk of collision," according to NTSB spokesman Paul Schlamm. Such advisories are not rare, Schlamm said. He said the incident was not serious enough to require a course adjustment. Kennedy's plane went down off Martha's Vineyard, Mass., on July 16. Kennedy, his wife and his sister-in-law died. One possible explanation for the crash is that Kennedy was disoriented by nighttime haze. A radar controller on New York's Long Island issued the traffic advisory to the American Airlines crew while the two planes were northwest of White Plains, N.Y., 150 miles from the crash site. The pilot told the radar controller that he could see the smaller plane from his cockpit. Kennedy's Piper Saratoga, which was heading from New Jersey to Massachusetts, did not receive an advisory, Schlamm said.

[CTRL] Blood (was: Re: [Re: [CTRL] Gothic culture])
-Caveat Lector- William Hugh Tunstall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: snip Anyone who has studied Nazism (and their offshoot here in the US, namely, the Christian Identity movement) cannot help but be aware of the centrality of the issue of blood. It has any number of different mystical and horrific associations, from the Horst Wessel song (...Jewish blood will flow...) to Wagner's Parsifal (..search for the Grail)--not to mention "the Spear of Destiny." snip Actually, Christian Identity is an offshoot of British Israelism, which, as we've seen here on CTRL, appears to have been engineered by British Intelligence. Another offshoot of British Israel is the Pentecostal movement, of which, among many others, Pat Robertson is part. The symbolism of blood, of course, is found universally, in every human society and the vast majority of world religions. In Christianity, as evangelical Christians are fond of pointing out, THE central belief is that *by his death on Calvary*, Jesus atoned for our sins (although just what constitutes "our" depends on one's particular theological inclination); the atonement is confirmed and validated by the Resurrection. One of the most striking, and in some ways most mysterious, aspects of the Crucifixion is the piercing of Jesus' side by the Roman soldier, which produces a flow of blood and water. In some traditions, the Roman was named Longinus, and occult power is often attributed to the spearhead claimed to be the one used to pierce Jesus' side. (This, of course, is Trevor Ravenscroft's "Spear of Destiny", which he claims is part of the Imperial Regalia kept in Vienna. As it happens, there are something like five or six spearheads claimed to have belonged to Longinus scattered across Europe. The one in Vienna, in any event, is clearly too late in design to have been Roman.) As many theologians interpret it, this shedding of blood represents the true sacrifice of Jesus Christ, based on the biblical requirement of live offerings in the Temple to atone for one's sin: thus "there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood." There are many examples of saint's blood which has been "miraculously" preserved in assorted Catholic and Orthodox churches, cathedrals, and monasteries; whether these are genuine miracles is a matter of considerable question, of course, but the fact remains that Christianity has traditionally placed great stock in the salvific power of blood. Exactly what the Nazis believed in their innermost circles may never be known with certainty. However, it is definitely the case that in public they played strongly on the symbolism of blood, from the blood-red banner (borrowed in part from the Communists) to the blood sacrifices of the "hero" (and pimp!) Horst Wessel and the "martyrs" of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. And they meticulously recorded the *true* "blood sacrifices" of the Jews, Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, and other *Untermenschen* who died in the concentration camps or at the hands of SS *Sonderkommandos*. = Robert F.

[CTRL] *NEW* Kapitan Man-Treason in High Places?? *NEW*
-Caveat Lector- http://www.washtimes.com/investiga/investiga1.html Adding insult to injury Laser-hit officer denied promotion By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES Navy intelligence officer injured by a laser while photographing a Russian spy ship has been passed over for promotion by the Navy, effectively ending his career. Navy Lt. Jack Daly, an intelligence officer, said yesterday he is bitter at the Navy's decision not to promote him to lieutenant commander rank following House testimony in February criticizing the Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence. It was the second time he failed to be promoted. Under Navy rules, he must leave the service in seven months. "I think this was an effort to get me to shut up and go away," Lt. Daly said in an interview. "I'm convinced this is all part of a cover-up ordered by the White House." The Navy officer, a "mustang" who rose up from the enlisted ranks, was referring to the April 1997 incident aboard a Canadian military helicopter photographing the Kapitan Man, a Russian ship near Washington state's Puget Sound. It was spying on an outbound U.S. nuclear-missile submarine it had sailed past a short time earlier. After the photographic mission, both Lt. Daly and Canadian Capt. Pat Barnes came down with symptoms of laser exposure that caused permanent damage to their eyes. A search of the Russian ship was limited by the State Department to public areas of the vessel, and State also tipped off the Russian Embassy in advance of a Navy boarding party looking for the hand-held laser that could have caused the damage. No laser was ever found and the ship was allowed to leave. The incident was kept secret for weeks until it was disclosed to The Washington Times by Pentagon officials. Pentagon officials said the State Department appeared to have deliberately undermined the search of the ship by notifying the Russians in an effort to avoid upsetting relations with Moscow. A subsequent Pentagon investigation confirmed that a laser had been fired at the two men, but investigators claimed its source was unknown. The Navy inspector general currently is investigating whether Lt. Daly was treated unfairly. Yesterday, Lt. Daly criticized White House National Security Council staffer Robert Bell, Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott and U.S. Ambassador to Russia James Collins for their roles in letting the Russians off the hook. "Bell, Talbott, Collins and others have given aid and comfort to the enemy, and this is nothing less than treason," Lt. Daly said. A Navy spokesman declined to comment. Rep. Curt Weldon, Pennsylvania Republican, angrily criticized the Navy's decision against Lt. Daly and said he would protest it. "This is an absolute outrage," Mr. Weldon said in an interview. "He is a loyal American who had a stellar career and because he simply wants his government to protect him, he's being treated like a piece of dirt. "It reflects this whole administration's attitude toward the military," Mr. Weldon said. "This administration talks a lot, but when it comes to defending the men and women in the military, they are absent without leave -- AWOL." Mr. Weldon, chairman of the House Armed Services subcommittee on research and development, said he will write Defense Secretary William S. Cohen and the Navy to protest the decision. Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, said earlier that he had written to the Pentagon warning military officials not to penalize Lt. Daly for testifying before Mr. Hunter's Armed Services procurement subcommittee hearing in February. Harold Stavenas, a spokesman for Mr. Hunter, said the congressman is very concerned about the Navy's handling of the case and is planning to investigate. "He is very concerned about Lt. Daly's case and will be looking into the matter when he returns to Washington," Mr. Stavenas said. Lt. Daly told the Armed Services procurement subcommittee Feb. 11 that he and Capt. Barnes were "shot, targeted with a laser" while monitoring the Kapitan Man on a mission for the Office of Naval Intelligence. "Both Capt. Barnes and I continue to suffer agonizing chronic pain 24 hours a day from this incident and our vision continues to deteriorate, with little expected relief, since there is no known medical treatment," he said. The Pentagon and administration covered up the incident as part of a "coordinated effort . . . by select individuals to disprove that this incident had ever actually occurred," he said. "Evidence was altered, ignored, omitted and refuted."

-Caveat Lector- http://cnn.com/cnnfn/1999/08/19/worldbiz/crime/ BoNY used in global money-laundering scheme. NY Times reports as much as $10b in Russian mafia funds passed through bank August 19, 1999: 12:47 a.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The Bank of New York has been used by members of a Russian organized-crime gang to launder as much as $10 billion since early last year, according to the New York Times. The bank is cooperating in an investigation, and two employees were suspended Wednesday, according to the newspaper. Both employees work in the bank's Eastern European division and are married to Russian businessmen. "There are no allegations of wrongdoing by the bank," the bank said in a statement. The investigation, which is being run by the office of the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, apparently focuses on the use of the bank as conduit for funds from Russia into other countries. The accounts under investigation, according to the newspaper, are linked to a man whom investigators say runs a veritable one-stop shopping center of crime. Semyon Yukovich Mogilevich is engaged in arms trafficking, extortion and prostitution, according to law enforcement and intelligence sources. The newspaper described him as "smart, ruthless and vastly wealthy." Money laundering refers to the practice of moving illegally gained funds in and out of a series of accounts - eventually hiding the money's origins.

The other morning, the farm manager arose to find a beautiful white draft horse grazing in one of his pastures. As the day unfolded so did the provenance of the mysterious beast. It turns out that there had been a domestic disturbance the previous evening during which the male disputant walked out with one white draft horse, three sheep and a rabbit. In the middle of the night a police officer found this miserable menagerie jammed in a horse trailer left by the side of the road. The officer traced the trailer back to the woman in the dispute who was having enough troubles without worrying about animals and so called a friend who worked at the farm asking for assistance. Thus it happened that at 4:30 am a horse trailer arrived under police escort at the farm and deposited one white draft horse, three sheep and a bunny rabbit. The woman later agreed to give all the animals to the farm on one condition, that it take the trailer as well. Understanding the rural principle that things on hooves come and go but those on wheels you can have forever, the farm manager readily agreed. CLINTON SCANDALS The Democratic members of the House impeachment committee were up to more than politics according to Jerry Seper and Audrey Hudson in the Washington Times. They write that the Dems, "as part of a strategy to discourage witnesses with damaging information on campaign finance abuses, sought to intimidate a key witness with limited knowledge of English and U.S. customs during a 1997 deposition, congressional records show." The news follows the claim by Clinton scandal figure Johnny Chung that lawyers for the Democrats sent him advice on how to use the Fifth Amendment. In a deposition, Manlin Foung, sister of Clinton crony Charlie Trie, reports that a Democratic lawyer warned her "that if she cooperated in the campaign finance probe, she would be brought to Washington to face television cameras in 'a large room with . . . over 44 congressmen sitting there.'

The LaRouche campaign says it has raised more than $7,000 in contributions of $250 or less, beating the $5,000 requirement to receive matching funds. National spokeswoman Debra Hanania-Freeman expects the FEC to respond to the request within 24 hours. "We are hopeful that along with the participation of Bill Bradley and Al Gore this will open up a broad spectrum of debate within the Democratic Party," Freeman said at a news conference. LaRouche, who is in Germany recovering from double bypass surgery, has waged five other unsuccessful bids for the White House. With this latest try, Freeman said the campaign has raised more than $1 million and recruited some 7,000 volunteers thus far. His campaign will focus on the "advanced state of the global economic crisis," Freeman added. During the Reagan administration, LaRouche was imprisoned for five years on charges of tax fraud and conspiracy. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] The business of dying (part 2)
-Caveat Lector- The business of dying http://www.philly.com/specials/99/burying/html/bury03.asp The conflict of conglomerates Corporations are making a big business out of once-independent funeral homes. Second of five parts By Dianna Marder INQUIRER STAFF WRITER When Margaret McKenney Dupree, now 77, was growing up at 13th and Diamond Streets in North Philadelphia, the undertaker and the barber were virtually the only independent business owners. Along with the church, these businesses were the backbone of the African American community. "They were the people who were looked up to," she said. In fact, they inspired her to go to mortuary school. Those were the 1940s, an era of de facto segregation. Blacks were turned away from white-run mortuary schools. Black bodies could not lie at white-owned funeral homes or be buried near whites. The white community was divided, too - along ethnic lines, with Polish, German and Italian funeral homes. But those communities had other small-business options and never relied as heavily as black communities on the mortuary trade for economic strength. Today, separation along religious lines persists. Indeed, the funeral probably always will remain a religious rite. Ethnic peferences persist as well. And African Amerian funeral directors feel doubly threatened: Their customer base is limited and their businesses have been targeted for takeover by international conglomerates. Elementary math explains why small funeral parlors, regardless of the mortician's race or ethnicity, have a hard time competing: Dupree handles perhaps 50 funerals a year. Large operations such as the Givnish Funeral Home, with 18 locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, handle 4,500 a year. The independent does all the work himself - gardening, interior decorating, bookkeeping and landscaping, in addition to embalming and meeting with families. And if the undertaker's children want a different career, there's no one to leave the business to. The cost of complying with environmental and safety regulations has grown over the years, as well. "The conglomerates came into being because the funeral and burial business is a capital-intensive business," said Joseph B. Hornett of Christian Funeral Services, a new company of the nation's largest conglomerate, Service Corporation International. "It's cheaper," Hornett said, "to consolidate." Service Corporation International, the Loewen Group and Stewart Enterprises own about 15 percent of the nation's funeral homes, controlling 25 percent of the market. This worries consumer advocates because: Corporate ownership is not noted in a funeral home or cemetery's literature or signs - and that's significant because name recognition and reputation are important in this business. So families who contact several funeral homes don't realize that they are simply calling one corporation's multiple locations. A number of states have adopted, or are considering, legislation that would require ownership disclosure. Price comparisons become even more difficult for families because some chains charge vastly different prices for identical products and services at each funeral parlor they own. Those locations may be only a few blocks apart. And the chain centralizes its resources, using the same limos and drivers for each funeral in the area and often moving the deceased to a central location for embalming without the knowledge of the family. Corporations have an advantage over independents because they are able to negotiate discounts with casket manufacturers. But unlike retail superstores such as Wal-Mart and Home Depot, the funeral giants say in corporate literature that their policy is to pass savings on to stockholders. Some communities already have been affected by the presence of conglomerates. In New York City, for example, where SCI owns 14 of the 28 Jewish funeral homes, a Department of Consumer Affairs survey showed funerals at SCI-owned homes cost, on average, 50 percent more than those at independently-owned Jewish funeral homes. In his 1999 report, "The High Cost of Dying," consumer affairs commissioner Jules Polonetsky faults publicly-traded companies with deceptive trade practices, increasingly exorbitant prices, and monopolization within the industry. SCI officials say the company uses what it calls a "cluster system" in which funeral homes in a geographic area share resources. Embalming is done in a central location, one fleet of hearses and limousines is shared by all the funeral parlors in the cluster, and caskets are purchased with a significant volume discount. Yet Polonetsky's report shows that the company charges vastly different prices for identical services at its Manhattan funeral homes - $295 for a hearse at one home, for example, and $550 for the same hearse at another. Scott Young, the SCI executive in Pennsylvania, said the pricing at each SCI funeral home was based on the particular expenses of that home. Besides,

[CTRL] Rat poison added to tobacco for 'flavor'
-Caveat Lector- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 1999 Subj: The most DEADLY Tobacco Facts (beyond Nicotine) feds refuse to tell the public Dear Citizens, Patriots, Veterans, Smokers, their families, and side-stream Smokers: Please read this incredible post about the most deadly facts about tobacco smoke. Even after the $238 billion states' governments and tobacco industry scam supposedly settled the issue, our government and the tobacco companies still refuse to reveal to the public the REAL story of the harm done by tobacco. I will be writing a follow-up to this investigate research report about the outcome of the $238 billion "settlement" that was supposed to solve the problems. THE TOBACCO - FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY Original Publication date: July 1987 Revised Publication date: March 1991 by Michael Johnson (Investigative Research Reporter) Are Tobacco Companies Clandestinely and Illegally Treating Smokers Medically Without Their Knowledge? Marina Del Rey, CA --It is now common knowledge -- although tobacco companies still deny it -- that smoking, chewing, snuffing, sucking, or using tobacco in any form can increase a person's risk of developing cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The U. S. Public Health Service, the U. S. Surgeon General, the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, and the American Heart Association all declare and document the health hazards of using tobacco. There is current evidence that tobacco companies have purposely increased the amount of nicotine -- a highly addictive chemical stimulant -- in tobacco in order to get smokers "hooked" and addicted to tobacco. This is to force smokers to continue smoking and using tobacco so that tobacco companies can maintain their profits and continue operating their businesses, despite the known disease risks. And smokers have an extremely difficult time quitting due to the physiological and psychological addictions associated with tobacco use. Not only that, but the 1986 Surgeon General's Report documents that side-stream, or secondhand smoke, is even more dangerous and disease-causing to nonsmokers than to smokers. But there is an even more insidious crime being perpetrated against the public by the tobacco companies and that is that the tobacco companies may be conducting illegal and clandestine human medical treatment and experimentation without authorization or medical license upon unsuspecting tobacco users without their knowledge. This medical experimentation is in the form of adding to the tobacco certain toxic chemicals and medicines in order to secretly prevent and treat some of the diseases that the tobacco companies allege are not caused by tobacco. Specifically, the tobacco companies, by their own published admission in their trade publications, introduce a deadly pesticide-rodenticide called Warfarin or coumarin into the tobacco as a "flavoring." They call it a "flavoring" in order to cover up its true identity -- that is Rat Poison! What is even more incredible is that the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF), any doctor, biologist, chemist, or licensed pest control technician or agency, and even the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, the U. S. Public Health Service, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Poison Control Center, and the Center for Disease Control agencies, and the various health organizations listed in the opening paragraph have known that coumarin-like compounds and Warfarin have been used as the active ingredient in rat poison since 1948. It is unthinkable that these protective agencies and professional personnel have not been able to "put two-and-two together" and realize that tobacco companies purposely add coumarin, which is a deadly poison formulated to kill mammals, specifically rodents, into tobacco, thereby making it extremely dangerous for human consumption. Likewise, it is equally unconscionable that these agencies have known that coumarin or Warfarin is added to tobacco and they have not banned either the use of coumarin in tobacco or tobacco use itself. Unthinkable and unconscionable as an this is, even the state of California enacted the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 and listed on July 1, 1987 in Chapter 3, Section 12000: Chemicals Known to the State to Cause Cancer or Reproductive Toxicity that Warfarin (with Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number 81812), in fact, does cause reproductive toxicity in humans. Isn't it amazing that within only one-half inch to one inch above and below the name Warfarin in a vertical column of a toxic chemicals list that tobacco smoke is listed to cause reproductive toxicity in both human males and females? By grade school deduction, doesn't it make sense that the reason tobacco smoke causes

-Caveat Lector- From www.notforpublication.com/case.html NOT for Publication The Case of the Missing Campaign Issue Who purloined debate about this nation's vital interests? By John L. Perry Posted August 17, 1999 From the presidential campaign so far, you would conclude this nation's vital interests were contained within a cookie-cutter outline of the United States map. If American foreign policy collapses and the nation is sucked into a major war that its military is ill-equipped and its people are unprepared to wage, then all the tempting sugarplums of tax cuts and new spending, Social Security and Medicare fixes go up in the smoke of irrelevancy. It is always foreign policy the preservation of vital national interests that determines what kind of domestic policies any country can afford. But you'd never guess it to listen to this presidential campaign. In previous elections of a president, there were genuine debates over foreign policy. American voters, not to mention allied and adversarial governments abroad, knew good and well where the U.S. stood in the world. They knew with certainty what America perceived its vital interests to be and what it could be relied upon to do to protect them. National self-interest was an understood fact of life, not something of which to be ashamed. A nation's vital interests including its legitimate right to protect them were something the U.S. accorded even its super-power rival, the Soviet Union. That mutual understanding, plus the power and resolve to back it up, enabled the two nuclear-age titans to co-exist on the same small planet. Now, no one knows where anyone stands and worse, what anyone may do about it. Is there anyone, from Henry Kissinger to an average American to the ruling clique in the People's Republic of China, who can honestly profess to know what the U.S. now defines as its vital national interests or what it is prepared to do to protect them? Does anyone, including the candidates themselves, know what those seeking the presidency believe the nation's vital interests are or what, if elected, they would do to protect them? Just about every other subject under the sun has been injected into this present campaign for the White House: Who has raised the most money to get elected not even who contributed it and what the candidates may have promised in return? Who has inhaled or ingested or injected what and when? Who has done what, with what and with whom? Who promises to collect how much in taxes from whom to spend on which government programs to subsidize whom for not doing what? Who will use how much government to do what to keep whom from doing what for themselves? Who will agree to transfer which constitutional rights from whom to the federal government on the theory that government knows best what should be done or thinks it can do it better? Who will do the most to insinuate government-approved philosophy or religion into public schools or private institutions? The one thing that clearly only the government can do, and the president is constitutionally mandated to do, is ominously missing from this presidential campaign. Whatever became of a campaign discussion about the nation's vital interests and what the new president is prepared to do to defend them? Who purloined that issue from this campaign? The mainstream news media, that's who. But wait, apologists for the press would contend, if the candidates aren't talking about foreign policy don't blame the press. It's just reporting what the candidates say. Baloney! If the candidates are making vital national interests a campaign issue, the news media are doing a splendid job of filtering it out from what they feed the American people. To the extent that may be going on, then the press is at fault. But concede that, except for an occasional peep out of Elizabeth Dole, who says she's ready to fight to defend Taiwan against China, the candidates are mostly mute on foreign policy. Is that the news media's fault? Absolutely! The job of journalists genuine journalists is not just to dog-trot along behind presidential candidates, jotting down their pearls of wisdom like recording secretaries, although that's a part of it. Genuine journalists have a responsibility also to raise the critical campaign issues with the candidates, to compel the office-seekers if necessary to face up to those issues and to reveal their positions, or lack of positions. That kind of journalism is simply not being practiced this time around. Mainstream news media have become too mesmerized by their fixation on celebrityhood and superficiality, too overcome by the fumes of their own self-congratulatory exhaust. They have become one smug Insiders Club, either fawning to be accepted as part of the political establishment or content to be manipulated as
[CTRL] Fw: FTalk: [Fwd: LACKEYS FOR THE FEDERAL LEVIATHAN by James Bovard]
-Caveat Lector- Investor's Business Daily August 19, 1999 LACKEYS FOR THE FEDERAL LEVIATHAN by James Bovard It is vital that citizens have a proper respect for their elected representatives. It's hard, though, when you look at the level of their debate. Take what many said in the battle over asset forfeiture reform. Asset forfeiture symbolizes arbitrary power at its worst: federal agents can confiscate people's property based on alleged violations of more than 200 federal laws. No proof is needed of wrong-doing: the feds merely must make an accusation - based on nothing more than gossip or rumors about the misuse of property. Asset forfeiture abuses have been a national scandal since the early 1990s. The House of Representatives finally got around to debating a reform bill on June 24. Rep. Henry Hyde, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, made an eloquent appeal for the need for reform. And then the caterwauling began. Rep. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark) introduced a substitute "reform" bill that would have greatly increased federal power to confiscate property. (Most of Hutchinson's substitute bill was written by Justice Department lawyers.) Hutchinson demanded to know: "How does disarming law enforcement fit into the war on drugs?" Thus, decreasing a DEA agent's power to seize your car is the equivalent of taking away his sidearm. Apparently, the main "armament" in the war on drugs is the sweeping power of law enforcement over nonviolent private citizens . Several congressmen recited cases of gross abuses of forfeiture power. Rep. Benjamin Gilman (R-NY) brushed off such concerns by introducing into the record a letter he received from the superintendent of the New York State Police that assured him that " We are aware of no instance, since the inception of the federal equitable forfeiture sharing program, of any caseinvolving this agency whereby a hardship was endured by a truly innocent owner. It is not the intention of this agency, nor, in my opinion, the intention of law enforcement in general, to deprive truly innocent owners of property due to the illegal use of the property by criminals." Thus, the fact that a police chief asserted that he was not aware of any specific injustice should have been sufficient to allay all concerns about any abuses. Rep. Ed. Bryant (R-TN) debunked other congressmen's comments about the number of people whose money was seized though they had no drugs on them: "The way the system works in this is when there are couriers...they either have the money or they have the drugs, but they do not have them both... So we either find drugs on the person or money on the person, depending which way they are going." Thus, the fact that someone is caught with lots of money but no drugs effectively proves that they are a drug courier. Hyde's bill would allow judges the option to appoint counsel for indigent citizens challenging forfeiture actions. This was denounced by opponents as guaranteeing that taxpayers would be forced to bankroll attorneys for every drug cartel chieftain in the hemisphere. Rep. Jim Ramstad (R-Minn) fretted that "frivolous claims would be encouraged by this legislation." The problem occurs not from the government seizing people's property - but from providing a mechanism to allow owners to get their goods back. Some opponents of Hyde's bill were indignant that the House would even stoop to consider such a bill. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) raised the caliber of the debate with a perfect gem of logic: "The abuses that exist, and they do, they represent the straw man in this debate because indeed we all want to do away with the abuses." Thus, because all members of Congress must be presumed to wish that abuses did not occur, it is unfair and irrational to actually consider seizure abuses when seeking to reform the law. Rep. John Sweeney (R-NY) pleaded with his colleagues: "Can we not strike a balance between free enterprise and criminal enterprise?" Sweeney did not specify whether he believed wrongful seizures by government agents should be considered "criminal enterprise." The Hutchinson "substitute" to expand government confiscatory power was defeated by a vote of 268-155. Afterwards, Hyde's bill passed by a vote of 375-48. The bill now goes to the Senate. Unfortunately, the Clinton administration, law enforcement lobbies, and many senators have their knives out for the bill. Reading a transcript of a congressional floor debate can be hell on idealism. Regardless of whether this Congress trims forfeiture power, members of Congress as a class cannot be trusted to understand - much less uphold - citizens' constitutional rights.

[CTRL] hi tech warfare on citizens
Here is an overview. For the entire document (28 pages ) in .pdf go to http://www.gulfwarvets.com/mac.htm THE REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS AND CONFLICT SHORT OF WAR Steven Metz and James O. Kievit July 25, 1994 The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. FOREWORD For many experts on U.S. national security, the combination of emerging technology and innovative ideas seen in the Gulf War seem to herald a genuine revolution in military affairs. The victory of coalition forces demonstrated the technology and seemed to suggest that the revolution in military affairs can solve many of the strategic problems faced by the United States in the post-Cold War security environment. In this study, the authors concede that the revolution in military affairs holds great promise for conventional, combined-arms warfare, but conclude that its potential value in conflict short of war, whether terrorism, insurgency, or violence associated with narcotrafficking, is not so clear-cut. Given this, national leaders and strategists should proceed cautiously and only after a full exploration of the ethical, political, and social implications of their decisions. To illustrate this, the authors develop a hypothetical future scenario--a "history" of U.S. efforts in conflict short of war during the first decade of the 21st century. It is too early to offer concrete policy prescriptions for adapting many aspects of the revolution in military affairs to conflict short of war, but the authors do suggest an array of questions that should be debated. In order to decide whether to apply new technology and emerging concepts or how to employ them, the United States must first reach consensus on ultimate objectives and acceptable costs. The Strategic Studies Institute is pleased to offer this study as a first step in this process. JOHN W. MOUNTCASTLE Colonel, U.S. Army Director, Strategic Studies Institute SUMMARY Many American strategic thinkers believe that we are in the beginning stages of a historical revolution in military affairs (RMA). This will not only change the nature of warfare, but also alter the global geopolitical balance. To date, most attention has fallen on the opportunities provided by the RMA rather than its risks, costs, and unintended consequences. In the arena of conflict short of war, these risks, costs, and unintended consequences may outweigh the potential benefits. The Strategic Context. The Cold War notion of conflict short of war is obsolete. Politically and militarily, the Third World of the future will be full of danger. The future will most likely be dominated by peace enforcement in failed states, new forms of insurgency and terrorism, and "gray area phenomena." Many if not most Third World states will fragment into smaller units. Ungovernability and instability will be the norm with power dispersed among warlords, primal militias, and well-organized politico-criminal organizations. U.S. policy in the Third World is likely to be more selective and the U.S. homeland may no longer provide sanctuary. Renewed external support will restore the lagging proficiency of insurgents and terrorists. The Application of Emerging Technology. Emerging technology will have less impact on conflict short of war than on conventional, combined-arms warfare. It will, however, have some role. In noncombatant evacuation operations, new technology can assist with identification and notification of evacuees. Sensor technology, robotics, nonlethal weapons, and intelligence meshes will be used in combatting terrorism, countering narcotrafficking, and peace operations. These technologies, along with simulator training and unmanned aerial vehicles, will also be useful in insurgency and counterinsurgency. Constraints and Countermeasures. There are a number of constraints on applying the RMA to conflict short of war. These include the lack of a powerful institutional advocate for this process, a shortage of money for the development of technology specifically for conflict short of war, and the possibility that new technology may run counter to American values. Enemies may also develop countermeasures to RMA innovations. Rather than attempt to match the technological prowess of U.S. forces, future enemies will probably seek asymmetrical

Key assertions by U.S. government officials -- that the al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan was producing chemical weapons and that it was linked to Osama bin Laden -- turned out to be inaccurate. The owner of the plant, Salah Idris, has brought suit against the U.S. government. The following analysts are available for interviews: JASON VEST, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.villagevoice.com A Washington correspondent for the Village Voice, Vest has investigated the al-Shifa bombing. He comments: Its difficult to say what is more amazing: the apparently glaring failures in the intelligence operation that led to the al-Shifa plant being fingered as a chemical weapons site; the actual bombing of the factory; the Clinton administrations over-the-top pattern of obfuscation and contradictions in explaining its rationale for the bombing; Congress less-than-zealous attitude about holding the administration accountable for an unnecessarily destructive act (lying about sex gets you an independent counsel, but bombing another country with shoddy evidence and lying about it doesnt?); the mainstream medias unwillingness to hammer on this issue; or the publics lack of interest. HUSSEIN IBISH, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.adc.org/news Communications director for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Ibish said: The bombing of the al-Shifa factory was an act of aggression of the most reckless and lawless variety. The information upon which it was based has proven to be flimsy at best, if not outright fabrications. No attempt was made to deal with the supposed problem through diplomatic means. Property was destroyed and lives taken in a crude revenge attack aimed at innocent third parties The timing of the incident with regard to the presidents political fortunes is highly suspect, coming just after his belated admission of an inappropriate relationship. It is truly one of the moral low points of recent American foreign policy. MARTIN BUTCHER, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.basicint.org Senior visiting fellow at the British American Security Information Council, Butcher said: The case of the U.S. bombing the al-Shifa plant shows the perils of the U.S. launching strikes against alleged proliferators. This is particularly of concern since Presidential Decision Directive 60, approved in November 1997, allows for the use of nuclear weapons against alleged proliferators.

Embassy Bombings Commemorated Without Mention of Factory Attack This month marks the anniversary of the August 7, 1998 terrorist attacks on American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, which claimed the lives of 224 people, including 12 Americans. The anniversary has received substantial media attention, including stories on NBC's Sunday Today (8/8/99), ABC's World News Saturday (8/7/99), CBS's Evening News (8/7/99), and the Washington Post (8/8/99), the New York Times (8/7/99), and Los Angeles Times (8/7/99). But virtually absent from this coverage has been any mention of the U.S. response which followed those attacks: the cruise missile raids launched two weeks later by President Clinton against camps in Afghanistan and against the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan. Although U.S. officials originally claimed the Sudanese factory was involved in the production of chemical weapons and had links to accused terrorist Osama bin Laden, those assertions-along with many of the subsequent, shifting allegations offered in the days following the attack-have turned out to be inaccurate. To date, the U.S. has presented no convincing evidence directly linking the factory to either bin Laden or chemical weapons. But it should be noted that even if the U.S. could offer credible evidence that the Al-Shifa plant made chemical weapons, or that it was linked to bin Laden, the missile strike would almost certainly still

-Caveat Lector- "divide conquer" is one pre-eminent maxim of "social control," which can be seen in the statement: "To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas". -Brock Chisolm, former Director of the World Health Organization A scenario has been written of where immigration boundaries 'tween U.S. Mexico would dissolve- massive influx of new Hispanic peoples then thought to be likely to create backlash, possibility of much social unrest. This scenario includes the continuing weakening of individual, state, and national sovereignty (in that order) within the U.S., and the subsuming of the States into federal "regions" numbered 1- 10. Intimately related is the NAFTA "agreement," which appears to be an attempt by Federal government to usurp the rights of Citizens of the States United, via TREATY- which through some twists of international law, appears to threaten to supersede Constitutional law. (if the constitution is the "law of the land, then executive maneuvers to supersede it would constitute sedition or treason?) ... legal arguments from earlier in this century to establish the supposed supremacy of treaties over the Constitution- In Missouri v. Holland (1920), the Supreme Court held that a U.S.-Canada treaty regulating the hunting of migratory waterfowl nullified Tenth Amendment guarantees and immunities of the state of Missouri. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in an obiter dictum written on behalf of the Court, stated, "There may be matters of the sharpest exigency for the national well being that an act of Congress could not deal with but that a treaty followed by such an act could." It was to redress this constitutional outrage that the ill-fated Bricker Amendment was proposed. The High Court's holding in Holland has been partially modified in subsequent cases (Reid v. Covert, 1957; Goldwater v. Carter, 1979). However, the assumption that treaties may be used to emancipate the federal government from its constitutional restraints retains its hold on policymakers. Seventy-five years after the waterfowl gambit was first used, it is being deployed again to establish the original jurisdiction of NAFTA regulatory bodies within the boundaries of a sovereign nation. The geopolitical boundary between the U.S. and Mexico in the vicinity of El Paso has been considered as a "test case" for an "open border." While searching for information on these topic, I discovered that the EPA organized around the same "regions" of the Federal concept of the united States that FEMA and I imagine all other Federal agencies (look up in the dictionary the meaning of "agency" www.m-w.com ) We have recently seen WATER, WATER- everywhere... in the NWO watcher's news.

[CTRL] Forbes Poised To Trash Cokehead Bush!
-Caveat Lector- Bush-Forbes Tensions Rising Presidential hopeful Steve Forbes finished second to Tex. Gov. George W. Bush in the Iowa straw poll. (AP) By Dan Balz Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, August 19, 1999; Page A1 Is the Republican presidential race about to turn ugly? Campaign advisers to Texas Gov. George W. Bush claimed that was the case yesterday after learning that rival Steve Forbes has begun testing possible lines of attack against Bush in a poll of Iowa voters, saying Forbes was preparing "trash-ball" and possibly erroneous ads against the GOP front-runner. But Forbes advisers responded that the Bush campaign was prematurely crying foul to avoid a legitimate debate on the issues and said their candidate would not be deterred from forcefully and factually challenging Bush on his record. Bush and Forbes, who finished first and second in the Iowa GOP straw poll on Saturday, have been eyeing each other throughout the campaign, and the argument that erupted yesterday represented an escalation in the tension between the two campaigns that has long been coming. Four years ago, Forbes spent millions of dollars on television ads attacking Robert J. Dole, which left Dole permanently damaged in some states. Many Republicans -- particularly those allied with Bush -- have warned Forbes not to use the same tactic in this year's GOP fight. Forbes has argued that he never attacked Dole personally but has warned Bush that, if he doesn't want heat on the issues, "he should stay out of the kitchen." Alerted to the Forbes polling by an Iowa supporter, the Bush campaign yesterday tried a preemptive strike against the wealthy magazine publisher, who has the financial resources to match the well-funded governor. "We had certainly hoped we could take Steve Forbes at his word that he would not engage in [the] trash-ball politics of ugly attack ads that he did in 1996," campaign spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said. "He said he won't, but this is the same procedure he went through in 1996 before he launched a series of attack ads on Bob Dole." Forbes campaign manager Bill Dal Col refused to discuss the poll or whether it was a prelude to negative television ads. He said the campaign routinely asks questions about all of Forbes's rivals, Republican and Democrat, and suggested that the Bush campaign was overreacting out of the concern that Forbes's candidacy was gaining strength. "If they're paranoid and uncomfortable over their poor showing on Saturday [in the straw poll], that's their problem," Dal Col said. "I don't discuss what's in or not in a poll. I will tell you absolutely we're polling. On issues and issues only and [our] likely opponents' issues." The poll came to light after a Bush county chairwoman in Iowa was telephoned for the survey Tuesday. She made rough notes of the questions and passed the information on to the Bush campaign, which made it available to reporters yesterday. According to Charise Schwarm, the poll probed Bush supporters to determine whether they would be less likely to support him after being told about aspects of his record on taxes, judicial appointments and Taiwan and about a controversy over Texas funeral home regulation. The Bush campaign claimed, however, that some information offered to voters in the poll was incorrect. Schwarm said that in one question, it was asserted that Bush had pledged not to raise Texans' taxes but later raised state sales taxes. Tucker said the question spread false information. "He supported a bill that was a net tax cut," she said. In 1997, Bush supported a major restructuring of the Texas tax code, which included a big property tax cut but increased sales and other taxes to make up some of the lost revenue. In the end, the bill was rejected and the legislature approved a $1 billion cut in property taxes. But Forbes pollster John McLaughlin, in a preview of the coming debate between the two candidates, said Bush "did propose a sales tax increase," although it was defeated. "He did not raise taxes," McLaughlin conceded. "It was defeated in the state Senate." He argued that senators who opposed the measure "didn't think" it was a tax cut. "They keep trying to attack Steve and they're extremely frustrated because his positive message is catching on," McLaughlin said. "They're trying to run a campaign where they don't want to be specific and don't have to give details on issues and don't have to debate." "I don't think there's any problem with an open debate about issues," Tucker said. "But what the Republicans and America will not take kindly to is the kind of attack ads he launched last time." Tucker was asked whether the Bush campaign conducts polling or focus groups to ask about opponents' records. "We will not be asking questions about other Republicans," she said, adding, "We may test how their negative attacks on us are seen by people." Yesterday's exchange came as the Forbes campaign shifted into a new phase, designed to

[CTRL] Canadian and US water for sale (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- OTTAWA - An international commission is recommending a temporary moratorium on large exports of fresh water from the Great Lakes. Several companies want to ship billions of litres of water from Canada's lakes and rivers to parts of the United States and Asia. But in a report released in Ottawa and Washington on Wednesday, the International Joint Commission said the bulk sale of water should be stopped for at least six months. Water levels on four of the five Great Lakes are low, the commission warned, and the ecosystem is in danger. According to the report: "...it is not possible at this time to identify, with any confidence, all the adverse consequences of water removals..." Ottawa is expected to follow the commission's advice and impose a temporary moratorium. Next month it's expected to go one step further by introducing legislation to ban large-scale water exports for good. It plans to introduce amendments to the International Boundary Waters Treaty Act, which will prohibit removals of water from boundary waters such as the Great Lakes. "We hear people say that the lakes represent 20 per cent of the world's fresh water supply," says Leonard Legault, chair of the IJC. "That's simply not the case." Legault says only one per cent of the water in the Great Lakes can ever be replaced from rain or snow. "Once you go beyond the one per cent of water that's renewable, you are no longer turning on the tap. You are mining the water." Some analysts predict the ban will anger companies hoping to make a profit selling water, which will trigger several lawsuits against the federal government. The federal government says the provinces must cooperate by restricting the number of permits issued for groundwater. Ontario says it's already done this, and will cooperate with even stricter controls from Ottawa. -- DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Congress: America's Criminal Class - Part IV
-Caveat Lector- http://www.capitolhillblue.com/Aug1999/081999/criminalclass4- 081999.htm Congress: America's Criminal Class - Part IV Sen. Robert Byrd: Invoking an ancient rule to avoid a modern law Part I -- Rep. Corrine Brown: A trail of lies deceit Part II -- Rep. Jim Moran: Virginia's bombastic Congressman Part III -- How Newt Gingrich took care of his own By the staff of Capitol Hill Blue In early May, Senator Robert C. Byrd, a longtime and powerful Democrat from West Virginia, was following a van too closely on U.S. Route 50 in Fairfax, Virginia, when the van stopped for traffic. Byrd's 1999 Cadillac slammed into the rear of the van. It took a tow truck more than an hour to pry the vehicles apart. Byrd's car was not drivable and suffered an estimated $7,000 in damage. The driver of the 1990 Ford Econoline van, Chris Lee, 42, a house painter from Fairfax, said he didn't hear any sounds indicating that Byrd hit the brakes or swerved. "Just boom," Lee said. The Fairfax County police officer who investigated the accident had started to write the 81-year-old Senator a traffic ticket when Bryd pulled a copy of the U.S. Constitution out of his pocket and pointed to a section that he said the cop prevented the cop for ticketing him for anything because he, as a member of Congress "shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest" both while attending a session and traveling to or from the Capitol. Byrd spokeswoman Ann Adler says the Senator, an acknowledged Constitutional scholar, "almost always has one (the Constitution) in his pocket." Byrd was taken to the nearby Fair Oaks police station where the shift commander put in a quick call to Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney Robert F. Horan. Horan told the cop that if the Senator wanted to claim Congressional immunity for the ticket, the cops would have to honor it. With everything else that had happened in Washington in recent months, a traffic accident probably couldn't be classified as "treason, felony or breach of the peace." Horan said he was familiar with the immunity clause -- Article 1, Section 6, of the Constitution -- because he had encountered it once before during his 32 years in office. Another member of Congress, also from West Virginia, invoked the clause to escape a speeding ticket 20 years earlier. The constitutional provision was written in 1781 to protect members of Congress from harassment as they traveled across the country (usually by horseback), and to discourage people from trying to prevent the members from casting unpopular votes. Constitutional scholars say that while the law has little use in modern times, it is often used by Washington area police as a way to avoid arresting members of Congress. "It's a common misconception that it (the law) prevents ticketing," says Georgetown University professor Paul Rothstein. "Police departments in this area are frequently under that misapprehension. I think it's a way to do a favor for people of influence and stature, but it does smack of unequal treatment under the law." And such unequal treatment is often invoked. A study of public records with police departments in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia show 217 members of the House and Senate escaped ticketing and arrest last year for a variety of traffic offenses ranging from speeding to driving while intoxicated. In the 1998 Congressional session, 84 Representatives and Senators were stopped for drunken driving and released after they claimed Congressional immunity. "I've stopped Senators who were so drunk they couldn't remember their own name," says one Fairfax County police officer. "And I was ordered to let them drive home." During late-night Congressional sessions, Representatives and Senators often spend time between votes in the private Republican and Democratic clubs or any of a dozen other Capitol Hill watering holes. One Capitol Hill police officer says he has had to jump out of the way more than once to avoid being run down by a drunken member of Congress roaring out of a House office garage. "But there's not a damn thing I can do about it," he says, "Not if I want to keep my job." Sgt. Joe Gentile of the D.C. police admits city police do not issue traffic tickets to senators and representatives while Congress is in session. Alexandria and Montgomery County claim members of Congress receive no special treatment for traffic violations, but records show 47 members were released without tickets last year. Arlington and Prince George's county refuse to reveal their policies, but records show members are rountinely released without charge in both counties. Members of Congress feel no compulsion to obey the law. District of Columbia police issued 2,912 parking tickets to cars owned by members of Congress in 1998. None were paid. The financially strapped District, which actively pursues and "boots" cars belonging to ordinary citizens, does not go after members of Congress. But

-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message - G R E E N W I R E GREAT LAKES: Congressmen Unveil Bill To Ban Water Removal A bipartisan group of congressmen from the Great Lakes region introduced a bill last week to ban bulk removal of water from the American side of the lakes. The bill follows a move by a Canadian company last year to sell nearly 800 million gallons of Lake Superior water to Asia. The plan "slipped under the Ontario provincial government's radar and was quietly approved" (Greenwire, May 6, 1998), but the deal was revoked after environmentalists raised opposition. Now, congressmen from Michigan and Ohio are urging the Clinton administration and the Canadian government to forge a treaty that would "close loopholes" in the two countries' water-use laws and permanently restrict the sale of water from the basin. The Great Lakes contain almost 20% of the Earth's fresh water. A recent computer model by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Admin. suggests global warming "could dry up the lakes dramatically" over the next 50 years. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH): "There is nothing threatening now in terms of large amounts of water, and one sale wouldn't do too much. But one sale leads to another sale, and another sale, and a developer wanting water for golf courses. We can't let that happen" (Nichols/Eaton, Cleveland Plain Dealer, July 23). HIGH TEMPERATURES THREATEN LAKE MICHIGAN FOOD CHAIN Record high temperatures in 15 of the last 19 months could lead to a "crash" in Lake Michigan's food chain, according to NOAA ecologist Henry Vanderploeg. During the summer, the lake's warm upper layer does not mix with its colder lower layer. If warm temperatures delay the mixing, zooplankton in the upper layer may starve because they cannot reach the deep plants they feed on. Vanderploeg: "If you have continued warming over many years you could have ... permanent stratification. That is a major worry" (Jon Schmid, Chicago Sun-Times, July 27). -- DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

Epstein, M.D., Professor of Environmental Medicine, University of Illinois School of Public Health, Chicago: The Codex Alimentarius Commission, the U.N. Food Safety Agency representing 101 nations worldwide, has ruled unanimously in favor of the1993 European moratorium on Monsanto's genetically engineered hormonal milk(rBGH). This unexpected ruling, revealingly greeted by the U.S. press with deafening silence, is a powerful blow against U.S. global trade policies which are strongly influenced by powerful multi- national corporations, such as Monsanto. The Codex Commission ruling has also forced the U.S. to abandon its threats to challenge the European moratorium before the World Trade Organization later this year. As importantly, the ruling represents the first large scale defeat of genetically modified foods on unarguable scientific grounds, apart from ethical and ideological concerns. Since the Food and Drug Administration approved the sale of unlabeled rBGH milk in February 1994, the U.S. has exerted considerable pressure on Mexico and other trading partners to approve rBGH in efforts to increase pressure on Europe through the World Trade Organization. In this, they have been strongly supported by reports from the Food and Agriculture/World Health Organization's (FAO/WHO) Joint Expert Committees on Food Additives (JECFA), including its latest September 1998 report, which unequivocally absolved rBGH from any adverse veterinary and public health effects. However, these JECFA committees, besides others such as those claiming the safety of meat from cattle treated with sex hormones, operate under conditions of non-transparency and conflicts of interest, and are predominantly staffed by unelected and unaccountable U.S. and Canadian regulatory officials and industry consultants with no expertise in public health, preventive medicine and carcinogenesis. The 1998 JECFA report on rBGH was then submitted to the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods, chaired by FDA's Director for Veterinary Medicine Dr. Stephen Sundloff who also played a prominent rolein the 1998 JECFA Committee. The Codex Committee promptly rubber stamped JECFA's seal of approval for rBGH with the confident expectation that this would be subsequently endorsed by the parent Codex Commission. However, the best laid plans of Monsanto and the FDA were aborted by an unexpected turn of events. Bowing to growing pressure in 1998 by Canadian advocacy groups, "dissident" government scientists and the Senate Agriculture Committee. Health Canada convened expert committees on veterinary and human safety under the auspices of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, respectively. Based on conclusions on the adverse veterinary effects of rBGH, particularly an increased incidence of mastitis, lameness and reproductive problems, Health Canada reluctantly broke ranks with the U.S. in January 1999, and issued a formal "notice of non- compliance", disapproving future sales of rBGH. Meanwhile, the European Commission had commissioned two independent committees of internationally recognized experts to undertake a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on both the veterinary and public health effects of rBGH. The veterinary committee fully confirmed and extended the Canadian warnings and conclusions. The public health committee confirmed earlier reports of excess levels of the naturally occurring Insulin-like-Growth Factor One (IGF-1), including its highly potent variants, in rBGH milk and concluded that these posed major risks of cancer, particularly of the breast and prostate, besides promoting the growth and invasiveness of cancer cells by inhibiting their programmed self-destruction (apoptosis). Faced with this latest well documented scientific evidence from both Canada and Europe, the U.S. bowed to the inevitable and failed to challenge the Codex ruling in support of the European moratorium. It is now 15 years since Monsanto embarked on a series of large scale veterinary trials on rBGH all over the U.S., and sold milk from these trials to an uninformed and unsuspecting public with the full approval of the FDA. Since then, Monsanto
Re: [CTRL] Blood (was: Re: [Re: [CTRL] Gothic culture])
-Caveat Lector- I guess that old Southern gospel song has it right: "there's POWER, POWER in the BLOOD!..." While we're on the subject--there's a private biomedical operation here in town (Fargo) that is rather odd. They are very interested in collecting blood samples from the area's Scandanavian population. Quite a few of the local university students frequent the place on a weekly basis. Everytime they make a donation, they receive twenty dollars. Since our area boasts quite a few blue-eyed blond "Nordics," their blood seems to be at a premium in the blood collecting biz. When I made a delivery to the place, I was met by some Teutonic types who were DEFINITELY not very friendly. There was a large Germanic-looking woman frowning at me as I looked around--the kind who would have made a perfect extra in SCHINDLER'S LIST. Of course, since I'm six-feet-two, olive complexioned, with dark-brown hair, I guess Brunhilde thought I looked like a candidate for the camps. It might be just my usual paranoia-- I subscribe to CTRL, don't I? :) -- still, I had the distinct impression that something wasn't quite right. Also, for such a rock-solid Norwegian Lutheran area, it seems to have more than its share of missing children.

Another offshoot of British Israel is the Pentecostal movement, of which, among many others, Pat Robertson is part. The symbolism of blood, of course, is found universally, in every human society and the vast majority of world religions. In Christianity, as evangelical Christians are fond of pointing out, THE central belief is that *by his death on Calvary*, Jesus atoned for our sins (although just what constitutes "our" depends on one's particular theological inclination); the atonement is confirmed and validated by the Resurrection. One of the most striking, and in some ways most mysterious, aspects of the Crucifixion is the piercing of Jesus' side by the Roman soldier, which produces a flow of blood and water. In some traditions, the Roman was named Longinus, and occult power is often attributed to the spearhead claimed to be the one used to pierce Jesus' side. (This, of course, is Trevor Ravenscroft's "Spear of Destiny", which he claims is part of the Imperial Regalia kept in Vienna. As it happens, there are something like five or six spearheads claimed to have belonged to Longinus scattered across Europe. The one in Vienna, in any event, is clearly too late in design to have been Roman.) As many theologians interpret it, this shedding of blood represents the true sacrifice of Jesus Christ, based on the biblical requirement of live offerings in the Temple to atone for one's sin: thus "there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood." There are many examples of saint's blood which has been "miraculously" preserved in assorted Catholic and Orthodox churches, cathedrals, and monasteries; whether these are genuine miracles is a matter of considerable question, of course, but the fact remains that Christianity has traditionally placed great stock in the salvific power of blood. Exactly what the Nazis believed in their innermost circles may never be known with certainty. However, it is definitely the case that in public they played strongly on the symbolism of blood, from the blood-red banner (borrowed in part from the Communists) to the blood sacrifices of the "hero" (and pimp!) Horst Wessel and the "martyrs" of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. And they meticulously recorded the *true* "blood sacrifices" of the Jews, Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, and other *Untermenschen* who died in the concentration camps or at the hands of SS *Sonderkommandos*. = Robert F.

Re: [CTRL] Congress: America's Criminal Class - Part IV
-Caveat Lector- It is interesting to see how we often forget the original purpose of a provision of the Constitution and begin to think it is supperfolous. Fortunately, it would take an amendment to the Constitution to change this, but it has a more important purpose than to get drunk Congressmen off. I had a friend who was a political activist in Miami back in the 60s. He was constantly arrested on frivilous charges. Imagine what might happen in Washington to an honest Congressman in Washington these days if it weren't for this provision in the Constitution. Howard Davis -- From: K [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] Congress: America's Criminal Class - Part IV Date: Thu, Aug 19, 1999, 9:24 PM -Caveat Lector- http://www.capitolhillblue.com/Aug1999/081999/criminalclass4- 081999.htm Congress: America's Criminal Class - Part IV Sen. Robert Byrd: Invoking an ancient rule to avoid a modern law Part I -- Rep. Corrine Brown: A trail of lies deceit Part II -- Rep. Jim Moran: Virginia's bombastic Congressman Part III -- How Newt Gingrich took care of his own By the staff of Capitol Hill Blue In early May, Senator Robert C. Byrd, a longtime and powerful Democrat from West Virginia, was following a van too closely on U.S. Route 50 in Fairfax, Virginia, when the van stopped for traffic. Byrd's 1999 Cadillac slammed into the rear of the van. It took a tow truck more than an hour to pry the vehicles apart. Byrd's car was not drivable and suffered an estimated $7,000 in damage. The driver of the 1990 Ford Econoline van, Chris Lee, 42, a house painter from Fairfax, said he didn't hear any sounds indicating that Byrd hit the brakes or swerved. "Just boom," Lee said. The Fairfax County police officer who investigated the accident had started to write the 81-year-old Senator a traffic ticket when Bryd pulled a copy of the U.S. Constitution out of his pocket and pointed to a section that he said the cop prevented the cop for ticketing him for anything because he, as a member of Congress "shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest" both while attending a session and traveling to or from the Capitol. Byrd spokeswoman Ann Adler says the Senator, an acknowledged Constitutional scholar, "almost always has one (the Constitution) in his pocket." Byrd was taken to the nearby Fair Oaks police station where the shift commander put in a quick call to Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney Robert F. Horan. Horan told the cop that if the Senator wanted to claim Congressional immunity for the ticket, the cops would have to honor it. With everything else that had happened in Washington in recent months, a traffic accident probably couldn't be classified as "treason, felony or breach of the peace." Horan said he was familiar with the immunity clause -- Article 1, Section 6, of the Constitution -- because he had encountered it once before during his 32 years in office. Another member of Congress, also from West Virginia, invoked the clause to escape a speeding ticket 20 years earlier. The constitutional provision was written in 1781 to protect members of Congress from harassment as they traveled across the country (usually by horseback), and to discourage people from trying to prevent the members from casting unpopular votes. Constitutional scholars say that while the law has little use in modern times, it is often used by Washington area police as a way to avoid arresting members of Congress. "It's a common misconception that it (the law) prevents ticketing," says Georgetown University professor Paul Rothstein. "Police departments in this area are frequently under that misapprehension. I think it's a way to do a favor for people of influence and stature, but it does smack of unequal treatment under the law." And such unequal treatment is often invoked. A study of public records with police departments in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia show 217 members of the House and Senate escaped ticketing and arrest last year for a variety of traffic offenses ranging from speeding to driving while intoxicated. In the 1998 Congressional session, 84 Representatives and Senators were stopped for drunken driving and released after they claimed Congressional immunity. "I've stopped Senators who were so drunk they couldn't remember their own name," says one Fairfax County police officer. "And I was ordered to let them drive home." During late-night Congressional sessions, Representatives and Senators often spend time between votes in the private Republican and Democratic clubs or any of a dozen other Capitol Hill watering holes. One Capitol Hill police officer says he has had to jump out of the way more than once to avoid being run down by a drunken member of Congress roaring out of a House office garage. "But there's not a damn thing I can do about it," he says, "Not if I want to keep

I will be writing a follow-up to this investigate research report about the outcome of the $238 billion "settlement" that was supposed to solve the problems. THE TOBACCO - FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY Original Publication date: July 1987 Revised Publication date: March 1991 by Michael Johnson (Investigative Research Reporter) Are Tobacco Companies Clandestinely and Illegally Treating Smokers Medically Without Their Knowledge? Marina Del Rey, CA --It is now common knowledge -- although tobacco companies still deny it -- that smoking, chewing, snuffing, sucking, or using tobacco in any form can increase a person's risk of developing cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The U. S. Public Health Service, the U. S. Surgeon General, the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, and the American Heart Association all declare and document the health hazards of using tobacco. There is current evidence that tobacco companies have purposely increased the amount of nicotine -- a highly addictive chemical stimulant -- in tobacco in order to get smokers "hooked" and addicted to tobacco. This is to force smokers to continue smoking and using tobacco so that tobacco companies can maintain their profits and continue operating their businesses, despite the known disease risks. And smokers have an extremely difficult time quitting due to the physiological and psychological addictions associated with tobacco use. Not only that, but the 1986 Surgeon General's Report documents that side-stream, or secondhand smoke, is even more dangerous and disease-causing to nonsmokers than to smokers. But there is an even more insidious crime being perpetrated against the public by the tobacco companies and that is that the tobacco companies may be conducting illegal and clandestine human medical treatment and experimentation without authorization or medical license upon unsuspecting tobacco users without their knowledge. This medical experimentation is in the form of adding to the tobacco certain toxic chemicals and medicines in order to secretly prevent and treat some of the diseases that the tobacco companies allege are not caused by tobacco. Specifically, the tobacco companies, by their own published admission in their trade publications, introduce a deadly pesticide-rodenticide called Warfarin or coumarin into the tobacco as a "flavoring." They call it a "flavoring" in order to cover up its true identity -- that is Rat Poison! What is even more incredible is that the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF), any doctor, biologist, chemist, or licensed pest control technician or agency, and even the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, the U. S. Public Health Service, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Poison Control Center, and the Center for Disease Control agencies, and the various health organizations listed in the opening paragraph have known that coumarin-like compounds and Warfarin have been used as the active ingredient in rat poison since 1948. It is unthinkable that these protective agencies and professional personnel have not been able to "put two-and-two together" and realize that tobacco companies purposely add coumarin, which is a deadly poison formulated to kill mammals, specifically rodents, into tobacco, thereby making it extremely dangerous for human consumption. Likewise, it is equally unconscionable that these agencies have known that coumarin or Warfarin is added to tobacco and they have not banned either the use of coumarin in

On November 16, 1978, Judge Flaherty handed down his decree. The critical parts of his opinion read as follows: "Over the course of five months, the court held periodic hearings, which consisted of extensive expert testimony from as far away as England. At issue was the most recent time-trend study of Dr. Burk and Dr. Yiamouyiannis, which compared cancer mortality in ten cities which fluoridated their water systems with ten cities which did not fluoridate over a period of twenty-eight years from 1940 to 1968. The study concluded that there was a significant increase in cancer mortality in the fluoridated cities." Contrary to what has been said by promoters of artificial fluoridation of public water supplies, Judge Flaherty's jurisdiction to make and enter his findings on November 16, 1978 was expressly sustained and upheld as appears in Aitkenhead v. West View, 397 Atl. 2d 878 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1979). Nor were his findings ever disturbed on appeal. In 1988, Justice Flaherty re-affirmed his convictions that fluoridation is a very dangerous practice. In a letter dated January 26, 1988 to Ms. Evelyn Hannan, he stated, "It has been years now since the case involving fluoridation was before me as a trial judge, but since that time nothing I have seen changes my view of the serious hazards occasioned by public fluoridation. To the contrary, what I have read convinces me all the more that indepth, serious, scientific effort should be undertaken before further expanding a questionable practice. Those who belittle critics of fluoridation do the public a mis-service, yet it seems in the face of strong, uncontradicted prima facie evidence, that is the tactic most often employed. Whether government has the right to force what it perceives as a benefit to the public was not directly before me in the case, but that also is to be pondered. My hope is that groups such as yours will spur the scientific community into an objective posture on this issue. I enclose an essay which was sent to me a few years ago focusing on the issue presented by analyzingepidemiological law data. Perhaps resolution of this narrow question will provide the answer. More recently, some people have pointed out that Judge Flaherty's decision was overturned on appeal and they assumed that therefore fluoridation wasn't really proved to be harmful. Now a member of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Justice Flaherty clarified that his decision to end fluoridation was overturned only on the grounds that his court did not have jurisdiction to decide the issue. Safe Water Foundation v. City of Houston Judge Anthony Farris presided over the trial in the case of Safe Water Foundation v. City of Houston, District Court of Texas, 151st Judicial District, No. 80-52271. On May 24, 1982, Judge Farris entered his findings of fact on the record of the case. His main findings were as follows: "That the artificial fluoridation of public water supplies, such as is contemplated by [Houston] City Ordinance No. 80-2530, may cause or may contribute to the cause of cancer, genetic damage, intolerant reactions, and chronic toxicity, including dental mottling, in man; that the said artificial fluoridation may aggravate malnutrition and existing illnesses in man; and that the value of said artificial fluoridation is in doubt as to the reduction of tooth decay in man." Contrary to what has been said by promoters of artificial fluoridation of public water supplies, these findings of fact were specifically sustained and upheld as having been established at trial by a preponderance of the evidence, as appears in Safe Water Foundation v. Houston, 661 S.W. 2d 189 (Tex. App. 1983). Dave Hartleyhttp://www.Asheville-Computer.comhttp://www.ioa.com/~davehart

[CTRL] Interview With JFK Jr's Driver, by Barry Chamish (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 02:54:30 +0300 (IDT) From: barry chamish [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MICHAEL SPITZER [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: driver INTERVIEW WITH JFK JR.'S DRIVER by Barry Chamish This interview with JFK Jr.'s driver appeared in Yediot Ahronot shortly after the Piper crash. My comments begin and end with ***. HE COULD BARELY WALK, HOW DID HE FLY? Yoel Katzavman drove John Jr. 48 hours before the plane broke up. "He was a quiet and humble client." "How could he have flown that plane with a broken leg? It was really suicidal?," said Yoel Katzavman (38), a limousine driver born in Hakiriot, who drove the Kennedy couple many times. Katzavman arrived in the US three years before and was employed by the Empire limousine service. He was often called to drive John Jr. and Carolyn Kennedy from their New York apartment. He recalls his last ride with John Jr., less than 48 hours before the final takeoff. He was called to pick up the Kennedy couple from their apartment in Manhattan and take them to the George Magazine headquarters. "It was the first time since Kennedy had broken his heel two months before, that he could was wearing both shoes, but he was still on crutches," Katzavman recalls. "He could barely step down with his foot and couldn't get out of the car on his own. His wife and I had to help him. I held his crutches and lifted him out. He had to hold onto the door to straighten up. His wife accompanied him inside as he clung to his crutches." ***In all the reports on JFK Jr.'s death, I have never read that he was a near invalid when he flew the plane. Why not? The authorities would jump on such an explanation for his piloting "error." I ask, would a broken foot interfere with flying? Does the FAA permit pilots with such an injury to man planes? Is Katzavman accurately describing JFK Jr.'s condition? Would his wife and sister-in-law have flown with him if he was too injured for safe flight? Next, we have been told that JFK Jr. was modest in his habits and walked or took the subway to work. Why would he call a limo for the short haul to his office, when an ordinary cab would do just as well?*** Katzavman has shed new light on JFK Jr.'s condition before entering his Piper Saratoga. Until now people have reported that his condition improved after the cast was removed. Flight experts have explained that to fly a Saratoga, both legs are required. ***I return to my initial observation. If both legs are required and JFK Jr. could barely walk even on crutches, why was he permitted to fly the plane and why would his wife, who had to help her invalid mate out of the car and into the office, step into the plane with him?*** Katzavman can also tell how John Jr. broke his leg, precisely. "After Carolyn returned to the limousine, I took her on a shopping trip. On the way she explained that John had broken two bones in his leg after an accident in his ultra-light plane. Carolyn reported that her husband was frustrated and depressed because he hadn't played sports in a long time." ***Not just the heel bone was broken. Now there is a second break. Yediot writes in his leg, though I believe they meant in his foot. And of course it happened during another flying accident. Katzavman's version is beginning to look scripted. Now on top of two broken bones in his foot, we discover he was depressed to boot. This is too good to be true for the authorities: it could have been used to explain away the unexplainable crash. Yet neither the breaks nor depression, to my knowledge, were reported. Katzavman is on his own.*** Katzavman drove Kennedy only during the recent period of his injury. Previously he rode his bike or the subway. He described Kennedy as a generous, courteous, pleasant man. "I drive lots of important people but he was special, really friendly. When he stopped by the kiosk near his home to buy a paper, he'd always ask me if I wanted anything. He'd always ask permission before putting his hurt leg on the seat. He was polite without making any special demands." Katzavman refuses to discuss his relationship with Carolyn. "I can only say she spoke of him like he was angel," he said. "During their last conversation they spoke about going to a family wedding, though he didn't say anything about flying. She wanted to know what to wear at a Jewish wedding (Rory Kennedy was to be married in a Jewish service) and worried that a bare shoulder would be inappropriate. He assured her it would be fine." When Katzavman returned Carolyn home, she paid and gave him a $50 tip. "It was the biggest tip of my life," he says. ***I'll bet it was. I don't like this story. I don't like it at all. Why on earth would Carolyn fork over $50 to Katzavman? Until then, Katzavman sounded just like Yitzhak Rabin's final driver, Menachem Damti, when he gave his guilt-ridden version of events to the media. He doth extol too much. The $50 tip is

We just issued a heads-up to our readers yesterday concerning the fact that KC-135s and other aircraft KNOWN to belong (at LEAST on paper!) to OUR U.S. Air Force are currently engaged in an extremely widespread campaign of continual, all-out, virtually round-the-clock bombardment of the people of North America (not ONLY U.S. residents) with chemical and biological materials known to be injurious to human health--and almost certainly to the health of most indigenous life forms on our planet (cloned reptoid-zomboid-android-Nazoid test-tube vermin such as those overrunning our entire governmental structure are obviously not affected by this most unwelcome crud being showered down on us daily.) We have also made note of the extremely interesting fact that mind-controlled "Manchurian Candidate" perpetrators of at LEAST four of the recent mass shooting nightmares in our country had/have SIGNIFICANT and HARD ties to the Air Force. In just the past two days, these articles of ours have stimulated additional responses from others with knowledge and/or direct experience which further confirms the high degree of involvement on the part of covert Air Force intelligence operatives at specific Air Force bases in the "engineering", programming, indoctrination and training of those unfortunate subjects; picked to become mind-controlled mass killers. A wide variety of tactics and techniques are used in these utterly abusive and demonic programs, which are almost completely derived from the infamous MK-Ultra project, the Montauk Project and related intelligence agency mind-control projects. The "genealogy" of all these evil, grotesque activities leads DIRECTLY back to the death and torture slave camps of the Third Reich by way of the Nazi-infested CIA, NSA, DIA and other U.S. intelligence groups. This is absolute, unqualified FACT. Check the records. These agencies funneled HORDES of high-level Nazi Party members, intelligence and military officers, "scientists" (yea right!) and vast quantities of Nazi technology information databases into the most fundamental levels of OUR United States government: after, DURING and even BEFORE WW2! Two of these recent communications to NewsHawk in fact pinpoint a particular Air Force base which has ALREADY been heavily "outed" by us in our articles ("The Rocky Mountain Horror Show" and "Putting the Columbine Puzzle Together") on the Columbine High School massacre on April 20. This corroborates information from other widely divergent sources regarding bizarre covert activities at this location.

[CTRL] No. Ireland (Dis)Agreement
-Caveat Lector- www.wsws.org - WSWS : News Analysis : Europe : Ireland Fissures widen in Northern Ireland Agreement By Julie Hyland and Chris Marsden 20 August 1999 Back to screen version The Northern Ireland Agreement has continued to unravel in the weeks since the British government was forced to announce its parking until next month. A review is set to begin in September, chaired by former US Senator George Mitchell. But Mitchell is said to have been taken aback by reports that Sinn Fein may not even participate. A tense meeting of Sinn Fein's ruling body is reported to have declined to give the go-ahead to the Sinn Fein negotiators. On Tuesday August 17, Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlem announced she would suspend until next week a decision on whether Sinn Fein should be excluded from the Northern Ireland Assembly. Calls for Sinn Fein's exclusion were made by unionist politicians and sections of the media following accusations of IRA involvement in the murder of alleged police informer Charles Bennett and other killings, as well as allegations of arms smuggling. The problems that now beset the Northern Ireland Agreement were inherent within it from its inception. Though it was portrayed as an attempt to secure peace and prosperity for all, the British, Irish and US governments shaped the Agreement solely in the interests of big business. Its purpose was to create better conditions for investment by the major corporations throughout Ireland and cut the vast military and social expenditure associated with the Troubles. The maintenance of divisions between Catholic and Protestant workers has historically played an essential role in preserving bourgeois rule in Ireland. For this reason, far from seeking to encourage a genuine break with the island's sectarian past, the Agreement makes religious and cultural differences the cornerstone of the new constitutional arrangements. In return for ending military hostilities, the Unionists and Republicans were offered a power-sharing agreement within an Assembly that guaranteed them a virtual duopoly over political life within the Province. The Agreement went so far as to stipulate that all parties within the Assembly be officially designated as unionist, nationalist or other. All legislation must receive cross-community support, effectively ensuring a joint veto by the two camps so-designated. By itself, this would have set the scene for constant struggles between the rival parties over control of the lion's share of the rewards of office. The situation was made worse by the machinations of the Blair government to get the Agreement signed. The failure to get the Assembly up and running was brought about by the insistence of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) that the IRA must decommission its weapons before Sinn Fein could take Ministerial seats in the Executive. When talks first began, Britain told Sinn Fein that decommissioning could wait until after the Executive was establishedthe position actually contained in the Agreement. At the same time, however, Blair made a private agreement in a letter to UUP leader David Trimble that IRA decommissioning should take place before hand. A recent op-ed piece by former Southern Irish Premier Garret FitzGerald in the Irish Times showed the extraordinary degree to which all the governments involved believed that a few clever manoeuvres were all that were needed to get an agreement in place. He noted, What appeared in April last year to have been a constructive ambiguity about the relationship between decommissioning and the formation of the Northern Ireland Executive eventually became a trap which caught the two key parties. FitzGerald wrote that Blair's letter to Trimble contained an obvious and potentially dangerous ambiguity, because such a side-letter could not alter the terms of the agreement and the use of the ambiguous auxiliary verb should' was obviously designed to sound as if it meant more than it possibly could in the circumstances. According to FitzGerald, the dangers of depending on such a flimsy piece of paper only later became clear. Since then, the unionist parties have made demands for prior decommissioning the central plank of their offensive against Sinn Fein, designed to ensure continued unionist domination of political life in the North. The British government has done everything it can to placate their traditional allies. Last weekend, the Northern Ireland Parades Commission gave the go-ahead for loyalist Apprentice Boys Parades to march through Derry and Belfast. The decision provoked a sit-down protest in the Lower Ormeau Road area of Belfast on Saturday morning, when Republicans attempted to block the route of a parade through this largely Catholic area.

And the increases are fueling a grass-roots movement of parents determined to expose what they believe is a connection between autism and vaccines. Autism, a developmental disability that usually appears before a child's third birthday, profoundly affects communication and social skills, impairing the child's ability to play, speak and relate to the world. The U.S. Department of Education reports a 173% increase in autistic children served under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act between the 1992-93 school year, when 15,580 children were counted, and 1997-98, when the figure was 42,500. In California, state senators are calling for research to find out why there was a 273% jump in children with autism in the past decade . And Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., who held a hearing on vaccine safety last week, is leading an effort in Congress to find answers. "It's truly an epidemic," says Bernard Rimland, founder of the private Autism Research Institute in San Diego. Some experts doubt that. Lou Danielson of the Education Department's office of special education programs says his office's statistics are suspect because until 1991, there was no category for reporting autism. "Children with autism were always there," he says, "but they just weren't being counted in this category." Yet the demand for more resources for autistic children is real: Martin Babayco, head of the special education program in the Ojai (Calif.) Unified School District, says he has sent three teachers to the University of North Carolina for special training, and he has formed an autism task force. "Within the last two years, our numbers have gone steadily up," reaching 25 in the upcoming school year, he says. "Is this a large number? Yes, 25 in a small school district like ours, it is an extreme number. We don't know why. I've talked to other educators, and they have a similar upswing." Scientists are puzzled - and worried. "I think the increase is real. I don't think there's any question," says Marie Bristol-Power, coordinator of the Network on Neurobiology and Genetics of Autism at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. People have cited other possible explanations, such as pesticides and pollutants, she says. "Right now, we're trying desperately to find out the cause." Rimland, a research psychologist and the father of a 43-year-old man with autism, says he knows. Autism rates are rising, he says, "because of the overuse of vaccines." He and many other parents of children with autism are convinced that at least some cases are caused by the multiple vaccines given children - up to 21 before they start school - and the combination vaccines, such as the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) shot. Jeana and Darrell Smith of Baton Rouge feel sure their son Jacob's autism isn't caused by genetics. Their proof? Jacob's identical twin brother, Jesse, shows no signs of it. The boys, age 4, have slightly different medical histories. Jacob got his first

among other revelations below, "Maria Hsia - a Taiwanese American immigrant who for a decade has raised money for Democratic causes - was "doing the bidding" of Beijing as a Chinese agent, a senior official said. As Woodward noted, Hsia has connections going back to 1988 with Clinton crony James Riady. Riady's Lippo Group has become in recent years pretty much a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese government. Maria Hsia worked closely with John Huang, who's suspicious DNC fund- raising first raised eyebrows a year ago. Hsia was co-chair with Huang of the April 1996 Buddhist Temple fundraiser where $140,000 in foreign money was laundered on its way to help with Clinton's re-election." = It is not included in the information further below, but the Lippo Group (heavily emroiled in the China-gate campaign finance crimes) is also a major economic beneficiary of Clinton's Coalgate scandal. (not about toothpaste or nuclear waste fluoride). --- Rep. Gibbons-Clinton Coal-Gate in Utah Lippo Group Donations Prompted Coal Lock-up in Utah House of Representatives - November 09, 1997) Mr. GIBBONS: "Madam Speaker, today I rise to inform my Members about Coalgate; no, not the toothpaste or the university, but another campaign scandal. In the heat of the 1996 campaign, President Clinton created the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah, which consisted of more than 1.7 million acres of land, an area larger than the State of Delaware. The White House claims this monument was needed to protect one of the most pristine areas in America. However, I would contend that 62 billion tons of low-sulfur coal reserve was the real reason for this designation. The Lippo Group, very large donors of the President's campaign, had a large financial stake in this monument, because clean Utah coal would have competed with the imported coal from Indonesia. It is a sad day when the President would deny schoolchildren in Utah the tax revenues of $1.5 billion in coal or the royalties, to protect foreign interests and promote his own self-serving ambition. Madam Speaker, the definition of greed has truly been revealed to the American people. They deserve the truth." Dave's comment-in-passing... It seems that the Clinton administration's tactics of producing so MANY scandalous actions one on the tail of the other is working to temporarily overwhelm any media, congressional, or other group's efforts to bring him to justice. This is perhaps a new spin on the technique of telling the big lie, and repeating a lie until it's accepted-- a sort of "outrage their sense of decency and ethics so often that they stop noticing criminal acts..."

Yup. Addr. at end of post. From the Washington Weekly: BILL CLINTON'S ALGER HISS PROBLEM Bombshell Report Cites Suppressed Evidence of Communist Plot By Carl Limbacher OYSTER BAY--Fifty years ago, a young California Congressman became the first to take the allegations of Whittaker Chambers seriously. Chambers had alleged that top State Department aide Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy. Hiss's ensuing trial and conviction on perjury charges laid bare one of the great American political scandals of this century: The Communists had infiltrated the highest levels of our government and were secretly working to subvert it. The revelations permanently tarnished Franklin Roosevelt's legacy. To this day, many New Dealers refuse to accept the notion that the president who had led the country through Depression and World War could have been so easily duped by the man FDR referred to as "Uncle Joe" Stalin. But the deals Roosevelt cut with Stalin were followed inevitably by the descent of an Iron Curtain across Eastern Europe. In a legendary photo of the Yalta meeting between FDR, Stalin in Churchill, Alger Hiss can be seen hovering in the background. In what may turn out to be one of the great historical ironies of all time, the young California congressman who used Whittaker Chambers to expose Hiss was Richard Nixon, the future 37th president of the United States. Ironic because fifty years later history may be repeating itself for President Clinton, who, because of his own "Alger Hiss" problem, may face the same fate Nixon ultimately did. Now it's clear that the taint of Communist infiltration haunts the Clinton administration. Yes, it has thus far weathered a year's worth of media reports on its campaign finance scandal.

An OS can be Y2K compliant, and still display a 2-digit date...if it is compliant, it will correctly interpret 01/01/00 as January 1, 2000 If it is NOT compliant, setting it to display a 4-digit date won't matter, as it will rollover to January 1, 1900 (or whatever earliest year the BIOS recognizes, usually sometime in the early 1980s) --end forward-- Same list, other end of the spectrum (and I thank you for recognizing that I meant well): -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 13:01:47 -0700 (PDT) From: Xena - Warrior Princess [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Is Your PC Y2K Ready? ("make it SO" in 7 easy steps) This is a misconception about how Win9* stores dates; while there are y2k issues with some older versions, or perhaps other software, making this change doesn't solve the problem, if it exists, and the problem is solved for you, if it doesn't. --end forward-- And, another from the first responder (again, please accept my apology), more on what the problem is (yet still nothing of real practical use...at least practical for "us dumb asses"): -- Forwarded message -- Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 06:21:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Ynr Chyldz Wyld [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Is Your PC Y2K Ready? ("make it SO" in 7 easy steps) It works because it's a non-issue...as I said, how the date DISPLAYS has nothing to do with whether the PC's OPERATING SYSTEM is date compliant or not... If the operating system IS compliant, then it will interpret 01/01/00 correctly as January 1, 2000...setting the date to display a 4-digit year won't change it; if the operating system is NOT compliant, then setting the date to display a 4-digit year still matters not a whit, since it will display January 1, 1900, or perhaps roll back to the original BIOS date, some of which are a late 1970s date, some of which are an early 1980s date... --end forward-- And, now for the only two I got that had any "practical value for dummies": -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 11:17:29 -0600 From: Don Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Proper Y2K tests to do on your machine Microsoft has posted on it's site that the "4 digit date" info being posted on mailing lists is a _hoax. Just changing the display date in the Control Panel doesn't do anything except "look cosmetic" and make the gullible "feel better". The only way to *properly* determine if you PC is truly Y2K compliant is to perform a series of tests at the DOS and BIOS level. Boot your PC with a start-up disk directly to DOS, type "Date" and "Time". Set both to a minute before midnight on Dec 31, 1999. Let your machine sit for at least a couple of minutes beyond the rollover. Type "Time" and "Date" again. See what it displays. Re-boot the machine, again using the start-up disk directly to DOS. Re-type "Time" and "Date". Observe what it displays. If it reverts to "1980", your machine has problems. Next, do this test again, except turn OFF your machine. Leave it off for awhile and then turn it back on and re-enter DOS. See what the date and time displays. If it reflects the date and time properly to the year 2000, your machine is Y2K compliant at the _DOS_ level. Next, re-boot the machine and intercept it before it's gets to DOS. You want to enter the BIOS. Once in the BIOS setup, change the time and date to just a couple of minutes before midnight on Dec 31, 1999. WATCH the time and date for the rollover. If you see the rollover perform successfully to 2000, leave the new time and date in place, turn your machine OFF, leave it off for a few minutes and then turn it back on and re-enter BIOS. If, on re-entering BIOS, you see the new time and date are still there (ie, Jan. 01, 12:18am, 2000) THEN and ONLY THEN can you claim your machine is truly Y2K compliant at _both_ the DOS and BIOS level.
