[CTRL] PANUPS: Colombian Drug Wars
-Caveat Lector- Sorry, Jamie... wasn't trying to garner the "most depressing news of the week" award it IS pretty sick. Vietnam tactics. They are trying to get a bunch more "military aid" to Columbia right now. Also trying (or already succeeding?) in getting the School of the (assassins) Americas refunded. At least if we try to publicize these acts of war and criminal war crimes, we're doing SOMETHING about it Somehow though, we need to figure out how to take the $$ out of the market for drugs. That's the only way. If the "street value" of an ounce of coke is $20, there wouldn't be any criminals importing selling it. Prohibition definitively creates highly capitalized criminal enterprise. Look at the goddam history with alcohol ! Repeal the prohibitions, decriminalize the "chemically imbalanced" and/or borderline personality-disordered persons who are attracted to, addicted to - drugs. Even if it started with only marijuana... it's the criminalization of the substances that lead a user from one to another to large extent- the same drug dealer who sells criminalized pot may well sell criminalized heroin or cocaine they did when I was a kid, I guess they still do now. Politics. Money. Hemp-fiber. Lies. Prohibition. Crime. MONEY. GUNS. Prison-industrial complex. International politics. CIA. GUNS. MONEY. The knot unravels without prohibition. I suggest that working with the potheads (sarcastic humor, mebbe not all medical marijuana advocates are potheads) to decriminalize is a good step in the right direction, even if it's only the "medical" marijuana. The politics of HEMP were a foundation of the prohibition- http://www.ka.net/usinc/shadv2.html the "getting high" aspect was only a COVERUP (sold to the public by for the prohibition effort aimed at the hemp fiber farmer. if mainstream politics becomes involved in decriminalization even for medical use, then the door is opened to agricultural hemp activity (which is likely "high" on Gatewood's agenda) ... and pretty soon... POOF- up in smoke (so to speak) goes the whole prohibition argument, the prison-industrial complex looses steam, prohibition of other substances will follow... Brian made big fun of something I posted the other day (which I'm not POSITIVE that he has the full info on... even if he does know everything else... except how search engines work :) and in part of that post of his, he mentioned talking to the fella in Kentucky who'd represented Charlie whats-his-name Gatewood Galbraith: http://www.gatewood.com/ These "medical marijuana" campaigners have a broad support base and a bunch of activists. How to "harmonize" with some of them... perhaps to find some of them interested in CIA cocaine importation lawsuits? Mebbe next time Brian is chatting with Gatewood... and mebbe a public service annoucement/ad in "High Times" /or others 'bout the lawsuits? .. this is SURE to reach some politically interested individuals... Also perhaps it'd be useful to try the PSA (public service announcement) route with publicizing the lawsuits in OTHER media (PSA's are FREE... ) Drug war is class war. as Kris says: Drug PEACE not drug war!

[CTRL] Malathion, organophosphates human gene mutation, T-cell damage
-Caveat Lector- Regarding the spraying of organophosphate pesticide or herbicide (poison) in human habitat. Probably anyone who can avoid being in sprayed areas, should. Don't inhale dust or spray. Keep children away from pesticides. If eyes have been contaminated, they should be flushed immediately with plenty of clean water for 15 minutes. Contaminated clothing should be removed, and exposed skin should be washed immediately with soap and water. Malathion should not be allowed to contaminate water supplies; it can kill fish. Waste materials and containers should not be disposed of near water supplies, nor should waste materials be emptied into sewer drains. (NYC is directly spraying this ON the water...) New York City Department of Health: http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/doh/html/cd/insect.html Two insecticides, malathion and resmethrine, are being used to control the mosquito population. Malathion is delivered as an aerial spray from helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. It is a relatively low potency organophosphate insecticide. Like all organophosphates, malathion inhibits cholinesterases and in higher concentrations can produce symptoms of muscarinic excess (salivation, lacrimation, diarrhea, bronchorrhea and bradycardia) and nicotinic excess (muscle weakness, fasciculations or paralysis). Antidotes include atropine (for muscarinic symptoms) and pralidoxime (for nicotinic symptoms). While it is unlikely that anyone will develop symptoms as a result of exposure to the low concentrations of malathion used in the spraying operations, clinicians should be aware of these symptoms and report all potential cases to the New York City Poison Center (212-764-7667). Resmethrine is a pyrethroid insecticide that is delivered from trucks spraying at ground level. Pyrethroids are synthetic compounds that resemble pyrethrins, which are naturally occurring insecticides. This class of compounds are commonly used in over-the-counter ant and roach sprays. All of these agents are "knock-down" agents, in that they produce paralysis in insects. These agents generally do not produce neurologic toxicity in humans. However, since they resemble products produced by plants, they have a small potential to exacerbate allergic conditions such as hay fever and asthma. While it is unlikely that patients will become symptomatic as a result of exposure to the resmethrine used in spraying operations, if a patient develops an allergic response to this chemical, they should be treated as they normally would. Once again, any patient who develops symptoms that may be related to spraying should be reported to the New York City Poison Center at 212-764-7667. The concentrations of both insecticides currently being used for spraying in New York City do not normally pose a health risk to the population. Occasionally, persons with chronic respiratory conditions may experience exacerbations due to exposure. All persons should be advised to remain indoors with the windows closed during the spraying and for 2-3 hours thereafter. During these hours, air conditioners should be turned off, or set to recirculate indoor air. Should dermal or conjunctival irritation occur, affected areas should be washed with water and/or soap. Updated insecticide spraying schedules is available from the Office of Emergency Management. September 1999 = Looks like this is MOST dangerous to those with already-compromised immune systems (no big surprise) and may affect those with AIDS/CFS/GWS- like syndromes worst. Nausea, coma, convulsions, respiratory failure, and death have resulted from the use of malathion by farmers who have gotten it on their skin. These compounds, like the nerve gas sarin, are organophosphorus compounds. They are irreversible inhibitors of enzymes containing reactive serines, including acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme involved in neurotransmission. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase results in accumulation of acetylcholine, causing the wide variety of symptoms. HUMAN GENES KNOCKED OFF DNA MOLECULE BY MALATHION This 1996 study found that in experiments of human white blood cells (white blood cells are the back-bone of our immune system) that malathion was causing "deletions" in one section of the chromosome. In conclusion the scientists stated, "This work provides the first evidence of an association between malathion exposure and specific mutations in human T lymphocytes." A quick biology lesson - Genes are not just involved in passing hereditary traits. You have genes active in you at this moment that control what is happening inside every cell in your body every second of the day. There are 200 genes believed to control liver function and 200 genes believed to control immune system function. Your lymphoctes are a type of immune system cell which is extremely important in removing viruses and cancer cells from the body. The human aging
[CTRL] The Obstruction Of Justice Department?--Wall Street Journal (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- September 30, 1999 The Obstruction Of Justice Department? Congressional veterans couldn't recall ever seeing anything like it. Last Wednesday, four current or retired FBI agents appeared before a Senate oversight committee to testify in detail how Justice Department officials had blocked and subverted their efforts to investigate the campaign finance scandals of the 1996 Clinton-Gore ticket. The country can't rule out that it might be dealing with an "Obstruction of Justice Department," was Chairman Fred Thompson's conclusion after the agents had finished, and their Justice supervisors had their chance to respond. FBI agents testifying in public against their superiors in the Department of Justice is explosive stuff. But with a few notable exceptions, such as the Washington Times and Fox News Channel, press coverage of the story has been minimal or nonexistent. So we're going to take some space here to tell this fascinating tale. The tension traces back to the Justice Department's investigation into the sources of the Clinton-Gore campaign fund-raising abuses. FBI agent complaints about the limits that Justice's Public Integrity Section placed on them date back some two years. "I am convinced the team at DoJ is, at best, simply not up to the task," said I.C. Smith, a now-retired 26-year Bureau veteran who ran its Little Rock, Ark., office, discussing an August 1997 memo he had written to Director Louis Freeh. "The impression left is the emphasis is on how not to prosecute matters, not how to aggressively conduct investigations leading to prosecutions." Mr. Freeh didn't respond directly to Agent Smith's letter, but within three months he unsuccessfully urged Janet Reno to appoint an independent counsel to probe the Clinton-Gore campaign. Still, there had to be some reason to account for the agency's sense of non-movement in the Justice Department. A strong illustration of it emerged from the agents' testimony last week. The agents testified that Laura Ingersoll, then head of the campaign finance task force set up by Justice, and Lee Radek, the head of Public Integrity, for four months blocked their request to ask a judge for a warrant to search the Little Rock office of Clinton fund-raiser Charlie Trie. Agents sifting through Mr. Trie's trash found that vital records subpoenaed by Senator Thompson's committee were being shredded. But their request to main Justice for a warrant was turned down for four months. It wasn't granted until Charles La Bella replaced Ms. Ingersoll; by then newspapers were uncovering the relevant evidence first. Eventually Mr. La Bella himself was sidelined and forced to leave Justice after he joined Mr. Freeh in recommending an independent counsel. Agent Smith said he was "astounded" by the torn-up Trie documents. According to the agents' search-warrant affidavit, they included torn photocopies of six checks from Asian contributors to President Clinton's legal defense fund, travel records for Ng Lap Seng, the mysterious Macau tycoon who wired $1 million to Mr. Trie, statements from Chinese banks, Democratic National Committee donor lists and a Federal Express record showing that Mr. Trie had sent two pounds of documents to the White House in May 1997. Some of the documents indicated that the White House was keeping Mr. Trie informed of the investigations against him. However, the Asian checks to the legal defense fund were dismissed by Justice. "Ingersoll indicated, in so many words, 'we will not pursue this matter'," Agent Smith told Director Freeh on a separate occasion. Ms. Ingersoll also refused the FBI's request to seek a search warrant, saying the agents hadn't found "a smoking gun." In July 1997, the Little Rock agents convinced Public Integrity attorneys to approve a "car stop" after an unidentified man was seen removing documents from Mr. Trie's
Re: [CTRL] Columbine Crapola.
-Caveat Lector-
According to the Salon article, Harris and Klebold "were never part of the
Trench Coat Mafia," the affinity group identified by the media that was
allegedly known throughout Columbine for unorthodox behavior and
appearance. Indeed, after the shooting a number of schools across the
country banned the long coats and instituted dress and appearance codes
against dyed hair or unusual behavior. "They didn't target jocks,
minorities or Christians," adds the Salon story. "As investigators get
closer to producing an official report about the Columbine High School
massacres, it is clear that much of what was reported last spring about
the motives and methods of killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold was
untrue..."
The good news, I suppose, is that the interval between LIES told us by the
state-owned media and the TRUTH finally uncovered by the American public is
getting shorter. Six months for Columbine, as versus 6 years for Waco, 60 (?)
for the JFK assassination.
It's still too long, however. Six months is more than enough time for the
State to stir up mass-hysteria and then, while Billy Joe and Bobby June
Sixpack are still in a paranoid haze, move in quickly seizing this "window of
opportunity" to justify extreme ("overkill") repressive measures that a
sober, rational, un-mindfucked citizenry would never tolerate -- in this
case, "gun control" (while the State is arming itself to the teeth against
US!).
But can we hope for any better? It's been claimed that Twenty-nothings (the
TRUE "television generation," raised with little awareness of life outside
"virtual reality") have an attention- and interest-span of five minutes or
less and their judgment is a product of short-term memory. IMHO, the
attention- and interest-span of most Baby Boomers, the
"I-Want-It-ALL-and-I-Want-It-NOW--Or-ELSE" Generation, is only a matter of
weeks or months at best, characterized by a longer-term judgment, yet none
the less deficient.
(Their basic unit of measurement for time is the weekend, four weekends in a
month.)
Cynic that I am, I won't expect any PROGRESS until we can read the papers or
watch the evening news with "subtitles" in our minds (sorta "closed
captioning for the stupid") SIMULTANEOUSLY spelling out a "Cui bono?"
warning: "Everything you're being told is a self-serving LIE." By THEN,
those of us who don't "kill our televisions" will watch it only to keep
abreast of how the Powers That Be are trying to manipulate our beliefs THIS
TIME, on the principle that "forewarned is forearmed." Turn off the SOUND

John Howard, the Australian prime minister, said in an interview this weekend that Australia should adopt a far more aggressive approach to regional peacekeeping and act as America's "deputy" global policeman in Asia. Asian nations, not surprisingly, were affronted. Malaysian politicians accused Mr Howard of being racist and patronising, while an Indonesian political analyst, Salim Said, said: "Howard is like a 19th century European standing on a beach and thinking he will have to watch out for the little brown uncivilised neighbours that lie to the north." It has not gone down too well at home either. But Mr Howard's "doctrine" reflects the extent to which, in the wake of East Timor, Australia's view of its place in the world has been turned upside-down. Since the small territory across the Timor Sea blew up nearly a month ago, Australia has been engaged in its most agonised bout of soul-searching for decades. Less than a week into the Australian-led peacekeeping operation, one thing is already clear: East Timor has forced a complete reappraisal of the country's foreign and defence policy. A good relationship with Indonesia has long been a central plank of that policy, mainly out of geographical necessity. Indonesia is Australia's closest neighbour in south-east Asia. For Australia, a sparsely-populated, affluent nation, the proximity of a large, unstable, predominantly Muslim third world country is a source of deep unease. Events in East Timor have intensified that anxiety. And with other parts of Indonesia expressing nationalist aspirations, the spectre has been raised of a Balkans-style disintegration - which could seriously threaten strategic military and trade routes from Europe and the Middle East through to south-east Asia and Japan. Hitherto, Australia's dealings with Indonesia have been characterised by a pragmatism bordering on the cynical. It was the only Western country to recognise Indonesia's annexation of East Timor in 1975, and one of the few to have sponsored joint military training programmes. Relations are at the lowest point for nearly 40 years and Australia's leading role in Interfet, the multi-national force in East Timor, is causing distrust further afield in the region. As Michelle Grattan, a political commentator with the Sydney Morning Herald says: "Australia's relations with Indonesia, and possibly its wider Asian relations, are about to be rewritten for a generation." In East Timor, Australia is in a peculiarly awkward position. While British military sources have suggested that its troops are being excessively restrained, the Thais - in deputy command of the force - have accused them of acting too aggressively. Important bilateral trade links are likely to be affected. On Friday Indonesia threatened to cancel Australian wheat imports. Cotton and sugar imports are also in jeopardy. East Timor has confronted Australia with two painful realities. One, that Australia cannot count on US support in regional trouble spots. Two, that Australian defence spending - 1.7 per cent of gross national product, compared to, say, 2.9 per cent in Britain - will have to rise. Gerard Henderson, executive director of the Sydney Institute, a conservative think-tank, says that events in East Timor show that there are "no certainties in international politics". He adds: "This should send a special message to an isolated nation of a mere 19 million people." ** End of text from cdp:reg.easttimor ** *** This material came from the Institute for Global Communications (IGC), a non-profit, unionized, politically progressive Internet services provider.

The above quote was made under regressive hypnosis by one of the first publicized 'UFO abductees', Barney Hill who -- along with his wife Betty -- claimed to have been abducted by grey-skinned entities from a space craft which apparently originated from the Zeta II Reticuli star system. The Grey alien abductors were obviously working with the human military officer who was encountered by Barney. This military officer was apparently a full-fledged Nazi, although this incident took place over 15 years after Europe had 'supposedly' been de-Nazified. This quote can be found in the paranormal encyclopedia "MYSTERIES OF THE MIND, TIME SPACE", p. 1379. Those who are familiar with the connections between Nazi's and UFO's may find the following document easier to accept than those who have never been introduced to the reports of secret Nazi aerial disk experiments, much less reports of their secret collaboration with the so-called Grey aliens years before the corporate-fascist infiltrators and sympathizers within the U.S. Intelligence Agencies began making their own treaties with these same serpentine 'aliens'. Much information has been released about an 8-Level underground base under Camp Hero near Montauk Point, Long Island where full-fledged Nazi and CIA agents have apparently been working on sophisticated time-space manipulation experiments, as well as microwave mind-control experiments aimed at large populations, which are -- according to researchers Al Bielek and Preston Nicholes -- being carried out to a greater degree than ever before under the cover of the Alaskan 'HAARP' project. It has been stated that unusual frequency broadcasts were detected all over Los Angeles prior to the L.A. Riots of 1992 shortly before the riots broke out, and there were inferences that the L.A. Riots were part of an "Operation Garden Plot" trial-run to establish martial law in America on the pretext of preventing a potential race war throughout the country. The Montauk Projects, in collaboration with Brookhaven National Labs; the I.T.T. corp. [which is largely owned by the German Krupp family who built munitions plants for Adolf Hitler and which, according to Al Bielek, has terminal accesses to the "Alternative-2 black budget underground network" under some of its major facilities]; and the Bavarian THULE society [which provided most of the financial backing for the 'Montauk' or 'Phoenix' projects]... have -- according to numerous sources including abductees -- been working very closely with Orionite and Draconian 'Reptiloids' and 'Greys' based within an underground facility surrounding DULCE, New Mexico. This information comes from Preston Nicholes, Duncan Cameron, Al Bielek, and Peter Moon... all of whom claim to have had some connection to the Montauk projects, although in most cases CIA mind-control technology was used to induce an alternate personality in the workers there as an assurance that the secret activities remained concealed. The Reptiloids in Alpha Draconis and Rigel Orion claim that they originated on earth in prehistoric times and were part of a bipedal reptilian or saurian race [like the cunning velociraptors?]. Now they are here to take back 'their planet' from the human race. In order to accomplish this, they are using multi-levelled deception and propaganda -- mostly through 'channeled' information and through information conveyed to 'abductees' -- to convince humans to capitulate themselves over to aliens 'guides' and thus allow the aliens access to their minds and in turn to our society in general. This same tactic, according to various contactees [Billy Meier, Jefferson Souza, Israel Norkin, Maurice Doreal, George Andrews, Thomas Castello, Alex Collier, etc.] has succeeded on many other colonial worlds that the 'Greys' have conquered, and it has also worked on this world to the extent that they have taken control of much of the 'underground black budget empire' -- a vast network of interconnected underground military-industrial bases and cities that have been constructed with the assistance of TRILLIONS [yes, I said TRILLIONS] of dollars siphoned from the American economy via taxes, drugs, organized crime, etc., money which has literally gone 'down the tubes', leaving our economy in a state of chaos.

[CTRL] barcode 'tattoo'
-Caveat Lector- What do you think folks? Perhaps the imbedded chips weren't y2k compliant with the mainframes, now what are they gonna do? Nicky An e-commerce barcode 'tattoo' Scanned image verifies buyer to seller By Jon E. Dougherty © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com A patent has been issued for a technique enabling an invisible tattoo to be placed under the skin of a consumer purchasing goods and services online, according to a report published by computer giant Compaq. The patented procedure, titled, "Method For Verifying Human Identity During Electronic Sale Transactions," was developed by Houston inventor Thomas W. Heeter. His patent -- bearing U.S. Patent No. 5,878,155 and granted in March, 1999 -- "describes how people can be identified for eCommerce transactions by invisible barcodes tattooed on their skin." The patent identifies invisible tattoo ink that is currently available commercially, according to the Compaq report. According to Heeter's abstract, "a barcode or a design is tattooed on an individual. Before the sales transaction can be consummated, the tattoo is scanned with a scanner." "Characteristics about the scanned tattoo are compared to characteristics about other tattoos stored on a computer database in order to verify the identity of the buyer," the abstract says. "Once verified, the seller may be authorized to debit the buyer's electronic bank account in order to consummate the transaction. The seller's electronic bank account may be similarly updated." Heeter could not be reached for comment. But his research comes on the heels of other so-called biotechnology that has been widely criticized by industry officials and private organizations, claiming such innovations -- which ultimately must be stored on a central computer system -- are too easily abused and exploited. One industry source, speaking with WorldNetDaily on the condition of anonymity, said Heeter's technology would be difficult to apply to e-commerce. "Personally, I don't see what advantages an invisible tattoo would bring," the source said. "The PC or other Internet access device would still require a device to 'read' the tattoo.

Yet, with Internet e-commerce figures spiraling upward, and the European market expected to surpass the U.S. online community in a couple of years, potential sales online have been projected to reach nearly $1 trillion by 2003. However, according to some critics of the barcode technology, one sure way to stifle the growth of Internet sales is to require people to be tattooed with a barcode. The latest innovations in the field of implantable barcode technology, first reported by WorldNetDaily in July, indicate a growing trend among governmental and business leaders to track commerce -- if not the actual buying habits and movement of persons on a global scale.

Public Opposition to Toxic Spraying Grows 9/27/99
Today the New York City Council Committee on Public Health
canceled a much anticipated hearing on the spraying of
Malathion, Resmethrin and Sumethrin, claiming that they want
more information on the West Nile Virus before proceeding.
This is the same compromised, intimidated and ineffective City
Council that has said and done nothing about the spraying for
weeks.
Now that the City has revised its diagnosis, claiming that it
wasnt actually St. Louis Encephalitis [SLE] but a much milder
disease, West Nile Virus, the justification for repeatedly
spraying the entire population of New York City with toxic
chemical gasses is even more in doubt. The mystery of why in
1999 SLE would only crop up in NYC out of the entire United
States is now even more puzzling, as public health officials admit
that what they now claim to be West Nile Virus has never before
been reported in North America.
During the past two weeks of this crisis five major news articles
and editorials appeared in the NY Times, the Daily News and
Newsday concerning the Plum Island Biological Warfare/Animal
Disease lab off the Long Island coast. These articles all followed
within a few days of two essays that I sent to the media
suggesting a theory that Plum Island might be a possible source
for the so far unexplained appearance of the virus.
Among the possible connections Id suggested is that birds
routinely fly to and from Plum Island and that birds, which are
the alleged source of both viruses, are a significant part of the
research and testing done at the high security government lab.
None of the articles attempted to make any connection between
the lab and the virus outbreak, however.
If the virus was in fact accidentally or deliberately released from
the lab, its certain that the Federal agencies in charge would do
whatever they could to suppress that fact in order to avoid public
panic, lawsuits, political fallout for elected officials and obvious
questions about why the government would choose to locate a
biological warfare and infectious disease lab right next to the
most populated City in the U.S. None of the recent articles on
the lab raised any of these issues.
Could the medias reluctance to publish the scientifically
established facts about the toxicity of the chemicals being used
in the spraying, to question the locating of this dangerous facility
off the NY coast or to report on the immediate and widespread
health effects of the spraying be part of a government cover-up?
Could the media, the Citys hospitals and elected officials have
been told that this was a high priority national security issue and
that they were not to reveal certain facts or even question what
was going on? Can the public now be confident that the Mayor,
his OEM {Office of Emergency Management) and the Center for
Disease Control (CDC) are telling us the truth about any of this?
On November 9, 1997 the City held a military style exercise for
the OEM to practice responding to a massive chemical attack on
NYC
[See: http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/oem/html/icebrief.html].
A so far unconfirmed report I received states that in April of
1999 Jerome Hauer, the head of Mayor Giulianis OEM, placed
an order for more than 160,000 body bags. If that report is true,
was the Mayors OEM saving money by getting a bulk price on
body bags or were they anticipating the sudden death of tens of
thousands of New Yorkers?
At many of his recent press conferences Mayor Giuliani has
criticized activists like myself who are publishing and
distributing information on the toxicity of the chemicals being
used and questioning the necessity of the spraying. He claims we
are trying to spread hysteria and panic and are doing so primarily
because we like to see ourselves on TV. The mayor dismissed
complaints from environmental advocates about the spraying,
referring to them as hysterical "environmental terrorists" who
"like to get you angry because it gets them on television." The
spraying is harmless, he insisted. -Daily News 9/18/99
As the Mayor continued to make these now routine allegations
he launched a very public campaign of personal attacks,
censorship and threats to fire the entire board of directors of the
Brooklyn Museum. The entire NY media has described the
Mayors statements as a political effort designed to knock the
spraying and Parks permit controversies out of the headlines.
Giuliani, who may be the nations top practitioner of
disinformation and propaganda, has succeeded admirably in
diverting attention from his very questionable spraying initiative
and his efforts to eliminate freedom of assembly back to the now
familiar waters of his attacks on artists rights and freedom of
speech.

[1] Impact of New Encryption Policy Remains Unclear
On September 16, the Clinton Administration unveiled a new encryption
policy initiative. The White House's revised approach seems to
recognize the futility of seeking to prevent the spread of privacy-
enhancing technologies, and shifts the emphasis to monitoring the
exports of encryption products and developing "new tools" to counter
their use. It remains unclear whether the revised policy will
actually enhance the privacy of most computer users.
On the export control front, the Administration will draft new
encryption export regulations that will "strike a balance" between the
needs of industry and law enforcement. According to the White House,
the new rules -- due to be released by December 15 -- will constitute
a significant liberalization of the export process. Any "retail"
encryption commodity or software reportedly will be exportable without
a license (after a "technical review") to commercial firms and other
nongovernment end users in any country except for seven states
designated as supporters of terrorism. The standards governing the
required technical review have not yet been announced. The
Administration's policy on export of encryption source code apparently
has not changed, so that academic exchanges such as those at issue in
the pending Bernstein v. Department of Justice litigation (see EPIC
Alert 6.07) would still be subject to government approval prior to
export.
Coupled with the export revisions is new legislation that would
provide a legal framework for law enforcement access to decryption
keys; provide $80 million in funding for an FBI Technical Support
Center; and protect the confidentiality of decryption techniques
developed cooperatively by government and industry. Under the latter
provision, law enforcement agents presenting "plaintext" evidence
would be exempted from routine requirements of criminal procedure that
permit a defendant to explore the means by which evidence was
obtained. The proposal would also prohibit the government from
disclosing "trade secrets disclosed to it [presumably by encryption
manufacturers] to assist it in obtaining access to information
protected by encryption." The legislative vehicle for these
initiatives -- the Cyberspace Electronic Security Act -- will soon be
transmitted to Congress. It does not include a highly controversial
provision contained in an earlier White House draft that would have
authorized secret police break-ins to alter computer equipment.
EPIC believes that more details of the new encryption policy must be
released before its impact on user privacy can be fully assessed. EPIC
will closely monitor the process of implementing the newly- announced
initiative, particularly the promulgation of the revised export
control regulations and the development of special sensitive
techniques to be used to extract plaintext from encryption products
and services.

Cyberspace Electronic Security Act and other documents released by the
Administration, are available at:

Dewy-eyed commentators claimed it would be as important as the printing pess. People would be free - wherever they lived in the world - to say what they thought, whenever they liked. We would all become the online press barons for an emerging global village. Along with the freedom of the Internet came unparalleled business opportunities. Britain, which largely missed out on the new industries of the late twentieth century, could be a leader in the twenty first. Britain¹s greatest strengths - the media, software, finance and international trade - could all be welded together to establish the country as the dominant commercial centre for the twenty first century. But now the Government is in the process of destroying these dreams so that the police and secret services can keep a closer watch on all of us. Buried deep inside the draft Electronic Communications Bill, which is designed to prepare Britain for a future based on electronic commerce, are a series of clauses that many experts say are the biggest single assault on our rights in fifty years. If the Bill is passed, the police and secret services will be free to tap people¹s emails with virtually no judicial oversight. They will be able to - in effect - write their own warrants and search home computers for anything interesting or useful. If, for example, you have encrypted data or email on your computer, then the police will have the right to demand the password unlocking them. If you refuse, or have forgotten it (and who hasn¹t forgotten a password or bank PIN number!) then you face two years in jail. To be imprisoned, the police have to do nothing. It is up to you to prove your innocence - reversing the usual ³innocent until proven guilty² principle of law. The police will also be able to issue gagging orders - preventing you from telling a soul that your home has been raided. Again, there is virtually no judicial oversight. If you do let on, then you face five years in jail. This gagging order also extends to any complaint which you may make about abuses of power by the police or security services.If you do have a complaint, then your concerns will be heard by a secret tribunal - sitting without a jury - and the evidence can be submitted behind your back. Cross-examination, and therefore a fair defence, will be impossible. Nor are the new powers limited to suspected criminals: they apply to all of us. The police will be allowed to raid the homes and workplaces of a suspects¹ friends, family and business associates. If they are unable to co-operate and prove their innocence, then prison beckons. Any specific complaint about the police will be dealt with by a secret tribunal. Gagging orders could well be used to stifle any unwelcome press attention. The new powers will dovetail nicely with the Echelon Project, which scoops-up and analyses every satellite borne e-mail, fax and telephone conversation in Europe. Run jointly by the US and British security forces, Echelon has become so omnipresent that it has begun to rattle the European Parliament¹s civil liberties committee. It fears that the Echelon Project is starting to erode our most basic rights. Civil liberties groups fear that Echelon could be used to identify people sending coded (or encrypted) emails. The new police powers would then be used to investigate these people further. In effect, they claim, it could be a building block for a police state. It could be argued that anyone sending encrypted emails was up to no good and that the police should keep an eye on them. It is no different,it could be argued, than the police taking an interest in someone wandering the dark alleys of Brixton wearing a balaclava. But with the Internet, things are different. Business routinely uses encryption to protect its secrets and commercial transactions. If you have ever bought anything over the Internet, the chances are, your credit card details were encrypted too. The trouble is, once encrypted,the blueprints for an atom bomb are indistinguishable from an online order for War and Peace through Amazon.com. These worries have set alarm bells ringing across British industry.Unwittingly, the companies at the forefront of Britain¹s e-commerce revolution could find themselves the focus of a major criminal investigation with no way of defending themselves. They could be forced to reveal commercial secrets to people they may not trust. As a consequence, many are threatening to site their
[CTRL] Fwd: Rebuilding the Branch Davidian Sanctuary
-Caveat Lector- From: "George Pulliam" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Waco Date: 28 Sep 1999 00:00:00 GMT We are rebuilding the Branch Davidian Sanctuary at Waco. All the concrete footings have been poured and the wood frame floor system starts in this coming Sunday (Oct 3). We need volunteers, building materials and donations. You can visit our Web site at http://www.rebuildthechurch.com for a list of materials needed. Also, we have current photos of the work in progress. An account has been set up at Bank of America for any cash donations. 100% of the donations will go to buy building materials for the church. NO money will be used for any salaries, wages, bonuses, etc. The account number will be posted on the above web site in the next day or so. Deposits of as little as a dollar or as much as you can give will be greatly appreciated. We estimate that it will take at least $60,000 to $100,000 of materials to build the new church and hope to have first services in the new sanctuary building on Saturday, December 4, 1999. -- Thank all of you who have concerns about what happened at Waco. I have personally talked with six of the survivors and believe what the Feds did at Waco is tantamount to execution of the BranchDavidian's. I don't believe that they deserved the death penalty for their religious views. If the ATF and all the other alphabet agencies can kill the Branch Davidian's for their "strange" beliefs, they can do the same for the Baptists, the Catholics, The Episcopalians, The Presbyterians, The Pentecost, The Muslin's, Buddhists or any other religion determined by the government as "strange". A good read is "Guns Courage" by Boston T. Party. In it he/she defines a "compound" (As in the Branch Davidian Compound, Randy Weaver's Compound, etc. ) as "The wood home of a dissident underfederal siege." How true.How sad. Anyway, please visit our web site for updated photos and other information on the rebuilding project we call PHOENIX. I found this doing a search at Deja.com under Waco. I have read that this re-building was going on but I didn't get the information about being able to contribute. These people are really doing something worthwhile. Thought I would try to spread the message to people who may not know that they can actually contribute to the rebuilding.Juanhttp://members.tripod.com/~pc93 P.S.

BERLIN - The United States has recalled three CIA agents at Germany's insistence in a fresh sign of mounting tensions between two close allies over the boundaries of espionage in the post-Cold War era. The repatriation of the three Americans, described as a married couple and their supervisor working undercover out of the U.S. Consulate in Munich, came after they were accused of using false pretenses to recruit local nationals for purposes of spying, German officials said. It marked only the second time in the postwar era that Germany has sought the removal of American spies. Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's government agreed not to expel the three agents but only with the understanding that the Clinton administration would order their withdrawal, which was carried out over the past five months, German officials said. The U.S. Embassy declined to comment. The latest controversy, first reported by the German television network ZDF, reflects a growing sensitivity in Germany over the need to reassert its sovereignty and drastically curtail the large U.S. intelligence presence here that in the peak days of the Soviet threat exceeded more than 25,000 people. For nearly five decades, Germany served as the natural battleground for an East-West intelligence war waged between the United States and the Soviet Union. With the German nation divided into rival camps, matters of ultimate authority were determined in Washington and Moscow rather than in the German capital. But now, nine years after East and West Germany were reunited under a single government and the ''Four Powers'' surrendered their occupation rights, German officials complain that the pervasive nature of foreign intelligence networks built up during the Cold War is making it difficult to reclaim total control over a country that lies at the strategic heart of Europe. As economic rivalry escalates among the Western allies, some Germans fear that the United States is employing its agents and eavesdropping facilities in pursuit of commercial advantages. The United States denies using its assets to snoop on trade and technology, and insists that any intelligence-gathering on German soil is directed against mutual threats such as terrorists, weapons smuggling, and money laundering by criminal syndicates. Ernst Uhrlau, the chancellor's adviser on security matters, says he is convinced that ''no American espionage is taking place that is directed against German interests.'' But other German intelligence experts have expressed concern about the large and continuing presence of ''friendly services.'' Germany's main counterintelligence agency has recently undergone a major restructuring that has shifted its eastward focus from the Cold War days toward a more vigilant attitude against all foreign espionage operations, including those of the United States as well as Russia. Over the summer, the government expelled several Russian spies accused of stealing economic and space technology secrets. ''There is no question of equating the United States with Russia, because we have a special partnership with Washington and we want to keep it that way,'' a senior German diplomat said. ''But we believe that the size and resources of the American intelligence community are vastly over-represented in our country and should be reduced in a big way.'' The friction between the two allies concerns different judgments about targets as well as methods. In the days when Germany shared the U.S. priority of thwarting a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, there was no question of challenging the purpose of gathering information on a common enemy. But now, German officials tend to express greater skepticism about the objectives of their American counterparts. For example, a major CIA target in Germany is said to be watching the movements of Iranian intelligence agents in Frankfurt, which is purported to serve as the base of operations in Europe.

[CTRL] Forget rainforests
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newscientist.com/ns/19991002/newsstory12.html Forget rainforests Fred Pearce RISING LEVELS of greenhouse gases have led to faster tree growth in arid regions. The discovery boosts the case for planting forests in dry areas to combat the effects of global warming. Plants combine water with carbon dioxide to create complex chemicals. Xiahong Feng of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, has shown that the rise in atmospheric CO2 over the past 200 years has made this process more efficient. Feng measured the changing ratio of different isotopes of carbon in the annual growth rings of a range of American trees. Short-term fluctuations reflected seasonal weather patterns, but Feng detected an underlying trend that matched the rise in global CO2 levels (Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, vol 63, p 1891). "The rate of increase [in water-use efficiency] started low in the 19th century, but increased rapidly for most trees in the 20th century," she says. Water use is not the only factor that determines how fast plants grow. The availability of nutrients and competition from other plants also affect growth. But Feng says that in arid environments, where moisture limits tree growth, biomass may have increased as a result. This finding may help climatologists balance the Earth's carbon budget. Around half the CO2 in the atmosphere that arises from human activity swiftly disappears. The oceans absorb some of it, but most researchers believe that much of the rest is absorbed by forests in cooler temperate regions, including Europe and North America. Feng's results, however, suggest that forests in arid regions may be more important than anyone realised. The study will also encourage a group of hydrologists calling for an international effort to plant trees in the dry areas of the world, which are mostly covered by scrub and grazed by cattle or wildlife. After a meeting at UNESCO's headquarters in Paris in December, a group chaired by Arie Issar of the Jacob Blaustein Institute for Desert Research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel proposed replanting vegetation in grazed areas to create vast parklands. The countries that signed the UN Climate Change Convention have discussed replanting tropical rainforests, but Issar argues that the demands of agriculture and urbanisation in those regions threaten this approach. In contrast, in most dry lands, the density of the population is low and the demand for land insubstantial, he says. There is often enough water in deserts for growing trees, according to Issar, though this may mean reviving ancient irrigation systems and tapping underground water. Although forests in dry lands grow at between a tenth and a quarter of the rate of tropical rainforest, he argues that the huge amounts of land available for tree planting in many arid countries should not be ignored in the race to halt global warming. Feng's discovery may tip the economic balance towards planting dryland forests.

[CTRL] Holy fire - A Better method for Controling Mosquitoes
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newscientist.com/ns/19991002/newsstory10.html Holy fire Andy Coghlan AN ORNAMENTAL BUSH prized by gardeners in Europe and the US contains a surprise weapon against the mosquitoes spreading West Nile virus, the brain disease that has broken out in New York (p 13). The bush might also provide a cheap way for the world's poorest countries to fight filariasis, a disfiguring parasitic disease that affects 15 million people in Africa alone. Oil from the summer cypress, better known as the burning bush because it blushes a deep red in autumn, contains a substance which, when converted into a pheromone, can be used to lure mosquitoes to their deaths. New Yorkers could have used this trick to combat the mosquitoes spreading the West Nile virus. The virus attacks the central nervous system and 3 of the 12 people with the illness have already died. Another 102 suspected cases are being investigated. New York health officials are fighting the outbreak by killing mosquitoes with conventional sprays of the powerful insecticides malathion and pyrethroid. Burning bush oil might have provided a more benign solution. Researchers from Britain and Nigeria have turned oil from the plant's seeds into a pheromone. This biological messenger, which is odourless to humans, could lure female mosquitoes away from the places where people live. A team from the Rothamsted site of the Institute of Arable Crops Research in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, struck lucky when team leader John Pickett noticed that the burning bush makes a fatty acid strikingly similar to the pheromone that attracts the mosquitoes (Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, vol 47, p 3411). The pheromone is produced naturally when rafts of eggs are laid in stagnant water by Culex quinquefasciatus, the mosquito species which spreads filariasis and is suspected of spreading West Nile virus. "It's a cue for female mosquitoes, telling them that there's a safe place where they can lay their eggs," says Mike Birkett, a member of the Rothamsted team. The pheromone from the burning bush could have been used in New York to lure mosquitoes to their death in drums of water laced with pesticide, says Birkett. Pickett is confident that the pheromone attracts females of all Culex species. The team at Rothamsted has tested synthetic versions of the same pheromone, called (5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide. "It's been tested in field trials in Africa, Japan and the US, and it works every time," says Birkett. The problem is that the synthetic version is too expensive to manufacture. So instead, the team screened plants for substances which could be turned into the pheromone much more cheaply. It doesn't need to be purified from the oil, making it cheap and easy to handle. When Jenny Mordue of the University of Aberdeen tested the oil-based pheromone in the laboratory, she found that it attracted female mosquitoes as powerfully as the natural substance.

Re: [CTRL] Response re Jews for Jesus Skeptic News - Tuesday #4
-Caveat Lector- Regarding your post about Jews for Jesus, what is your proof or source to support your statement: A curious hybrid of Hassidic and Christian culture aptly named Jews for Jesus http://www.jewsforjesus.org/ promotes the acceptance of Torah, Talmud and New Testament as divinely inspired texts. ? I'd really like to know since I assume you wouldn't send out anything in your mailing that you haven't checked or verified. Jews for Jesus has never promoted the acceptance of the Talmud as an inspired text, although they demonstrate courtesy and respect for those who do. As for your statement about their endorsement of the Torah as inspired, you are correct. The word Torah is merely the Hebrew word for the first part of the Bible. By making that statement you are saying that Jews for Jesus believe in the inspiration of the Bible. They do. However, your statement about the Talmud is a different matter. The precise wording of Jews for Jesus' statement of faith regarding other Jewish literature can be viewed on their web site. But here it is anyway: "We recognize the value of traditional Jewish literature but only where it is supported by or conformable to the Word of God. We regard it as in no way binding upon life or faith." Shalom! DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] The Law is what killed JUSTICE
-Caveat Lector- On 99-09-30 07:42:18 EDT, Das GOAT pointed out: ..."the Law" is what's killed JUSTICE, each and every step along the way. More accurately 'legislation' (i.e., the words and scribbles of shysters and scoundrels masquerading around a 'da gubbmint') is what killed natural law and 'natural justice' every step along the way: Natural justice is either law, or it is not. If it be law, it is always law, and nothing inconsistent with it can ever be made law. If it be not law, then we have no law except that which is prescribed by the reigning power of the state; and all idea of justice being any part of our system of law, any further than it may be specially prescribed, ought to be abandoned; and government ought to acknowledge that its authority rests solely on its power to compel submission, and that there is not necessarily any moral obligation of obedience to its mandate. On this principle, then -- that mere will or power are competent to establish the law that is to govern an act, without reference to the justice or injustice of the act itself, the will and power of any single individual to commit theft, would be sufficient to make theft lawful, as lawful as is any other act of injustice, which the will and power of communities, or large bodies of men, may be united to accomplish. [...] If our governments would but themselves adhere to natural law, there would be little occasion to complain of the ignorance of the people in regard to it. The popular ignorance of law [that is, just law] is attributable mainly to the innovations that have been made upon natural law by legislation; whereby our system has become an incongruous mixture of natural and statute law, with no uniform principle pervading it. To learn such a system, - if system it can be called, and if learned it can be, - is a matter of very similar difficulty to what it would take to learn a system of mathematics, which should consist of the mathematics of nature, interspersed with such other mathematics as might be created by legislation, in violation of all the natural principles of numbers and quantities. When will we ever realize that "the law" is SUBSEQUENT to our rights and liberty, NOT the SOURCE of these, and seldom if ever the GUARANTOR of our freedoms? The ultimate truth on this subject is, that man has an inalienable right to so much personal liberty as he will use without invading the rights of others. This liberty is an inherent right of his nature and his faculties. It is an inherent right of his nature and faculties to develop [sic] themselves freely, and without restraint from other natures and faculties, that have no superior prerogatives to his own. And this right has only this limit, viz., that he do not carry the exercise of his own liberty so far as to restrain or infringe the equally free development of the natures and faculties of others. The dividing lines between the equal liberties of each must never be transgressed by either. This principle is the foundation and essence of law and of civil right. And legitimate government is formed by the voluntary association of individuals, for the mutual protection of each of them in the enjoyment of this natural liberty, against those who may be disposed to invade it. [...] Everybody has a natural right, as individuals, to punish other men for their crimes; for everybody has a natural right not only to defend his own person and property against aggressors, but also to go to the assistance and defense of everybody else, whose person or property is invaded. The natural right of each individual to defend his own person and property against an aggressor, and to go to the assistance and defense of every one else whose person or property is invaded, is a right without which men could not exist on the earth. And government has no rightful existence, except in so far as it embodies, and is limited by, this natural right of individuals. [...] It is impossible that a government should have any rights, except such as the individuals composing it had previously had, as individuals. They could not delegate to a government any rights which they did not themselves possess. They could not contribute to the government any rights, except such as they themselves
[CTRL] Clinton Reassigns 1/3 of FBI's Drug Investigators
-Caveat Lector- Clinton Reassigns 1/3 of FBI's Drug Investigators I was led down a dark hallway to a back room with only a single light bulb dangling over a worn table. A man entered the room. The shadow cast by the large brimmed hat that he wore concealed the features of his face. He asked, "What can I do ya for?" My heart was pounding as I tried to find the words. "I'm looking for Big John," I sputtered. He cracked a knowing smile. "Oh, Big John. That will cost you." I opened the brown paper bag that I was carrying and pushed a small stack of money across the table. He quickly counted it and then scribbled an address on a piece of paper and told me, "Bring a small pickup truck. When you get there, ask for Louie. Tell him that Rocko sent you. He'll know what to do." Two hours later I was the proud owner of a 5 gallon capacity toilet, an item that is just as illegal to possess as a dime bag of Marijuana. The Clinton Administration's crack down on large capacity toilets has led to a black market boom in contraband potties. It is currently illegal to sell any toilet in the U.S. with a water capacity greater than 1.3 gallons. American consumers, however, hate the toilets and are complaining that 1.3 gallons is not enough for a decent flush. With rumors that low capacity toilets can clog plumbing and cause bathrooms to have a constant odor, consumers are turning to the black market. The FBI estimates that the illegal potty market brings in nearly $500 million dollars a year. This figure has the Clinton Administration worried. In order to protect union jobs at U.S. toilet manufacturing companies, which are subject to the 1.3 gallon restriction, the President has reassigned 1/3 of the FBI's illegal narcotics investigators to 'Toilet Duty'. Vice President Al Gore defended the President's decision in a recent campaign swing through California. Said Gore, "Large capacity toilets pose a greater threat to America than drugs. The President's decision was necessary in order to prevent Americans from flushing the entire planet down the drain." Under Current Federal Law people convicted of illegal potty trafficking face 25 years to life in a Federal Prison. Unless the potty traffickers are members of the FALN they have no hope of clemency or early parole. © 1999 BNN (Bogus News Network - The Nation's Second Leading Source for Misinformation) http://www.bogusnews.com/ - You may Freely Distribute this story for non-commercial use IF You Include All Copyright Info, the Website Address and the Disclaimer.

[CTRL] Democrats Unveil New 'Safer' Tax Scheme
-Caveat Lector- Democrats Unveil New 'Safer' Tax Scheme WASHINGTON, DC - With the 'risky' Republican tax cut scheme fading into history, the Democrats have revealed their plan for a new 'Safer Tax'. "We all know that it is not safe to give the American people back any of their money," said House Minority Leader, Dick Gephardt. "That is why we are offering a bill that would implement the safest tax system known to man." The new 'Safer Tax' proposed by the Democrats would tax all Americans at 100%. All money would then be brought to Washington and redistributed to the American people on a 'needs only basis'. A new Government agency called the 'Central Economic Department' (CED) will be created to help distribute the money. The CED will employ an army of 'Monetary Needs Assessors" (MNA) who will be given the job of determining the financial needs of those Americans they are assigned to oversee. Each American will be required to meet with their MNA on a weekly basis in order to prove their financial needs. Once the MNA determines a person's financial need, then the MNA will issue a new form of currency that will be redeemable for goods and services. GOP leaders have already condemned the new 'Safer Tax' proposal. Said Congressman Chris Cox, "Their proposal is nothing more than pure unadulterated Communism!" Responding to Cox's condemnation of the 'Safer Tax', Congresswoman Maxine Waters exclaimed, "Men like Cox are only concerned with protecting their rich business buddies. That is why they continue to risk the safety of the American economy by trying to give people their money back. This type of recklessness has got to stop. That is why I am supporting the new 'Safer Tax'." © 1999 BNN (Bogus News Network - The Nation's Second Leading Source for Misinformation) http://www.bogusnews.com/ - You may Freely Distribute this story for non-commercial use IF You Include All Copyright Info, the Website Address and the Disclaimer.

[CTRL] Study Finds Ozzies Spend Twice As Much On Pot As On Wine...
-Caveat Lector- If this also applies to the U.S., and I assume it does, we begin to see some of the other factors behind the "war on drugs"...and why the attack on "binge drinking" on American campuses is a completely cynical publicity ploy... "Researchers at the University of Western Australia's Economic Research Center have found that Australians spend almost as much on illegal cannabis as they do on their beloved beer and twice as much as they do on wine." === Who Spends More On Pot Than Wine? PERTH (Reuters) - Australia's reputation as a nation of big drinkers is going up in smoke with research released this week showing vast untaxed expenditure on marijuana. Researchers at the University of Western Australia's Economic Research Center have found that Australians spend almost as much on illegal cannabis as they do on their beloved beer and twice as much as they do on wine. ``Expenditure on marijuana in 1995 was a little over A$5 billion (US$3.25 billion) or A$351 per capita,'' said researchers Professor Ken Clements and Mert Daryal in a paper entitled ``The Economics of Marijuana Consumption.'' The estimated pot expenditure was equivalent to one percent of Australia's 1995 gross domestic product, far higher than was previously estimated. It represented double the expenditure on wine and three-quarters of the money spent on beer. Clements and Daryal also found direct link between pot consumption and drinking habits. Experience in other countries had suggested liberalisation of marijuana laws results in a fall in alcohol consumption. ``Alcohol and marijuana seem to be substitutes, with cross-price elasticities,'' they said. ``In most cases, (liberalized) legislation lowers drinking. Spirits consumption falls the most, then wine and then beer,'' they said. The researchers said they hoped to gain a better understanding of the economics of a drug which they estimate ''is used by something like one-third of the entire adult population'' but which ``generates no tax revenue.'' Their paper also included a survey of University of Western Australia first year students which found that about 50 percent had used marijuana. Not surprisingly, the report found that legalizing marijuana would ``increase consumption by about 13 percent ... and alcohol consumption would fall.'' Clements and Daryal said that ``in view of the large number of people who have used marijuana'' and that expenditure is twice that on wine ``it is surprising that more is not known about these intriguing matters.'' Most of the marijuana consumed in Australia is grown in remote tracts of the island continent. (A$1 - US$0.65) === Robert F.

[CTRL] An Invisible Inkjet Printer?
-Caveat Lector- http://unisci.com/stories/19993/0930996.htm Printer For Invisible Copy Described In Journal Article It may sound like something out of a James Bond movie: an electronic inkjet printer that prints with invisible ink. But earlier this month, University at Buffalo physicists published a paper in Applied Physics Letters that describes a device that could do just that. And the device has its uses: Potential applications include any situation where something needs to be identifiable by some secure or covert means, such as imprinting currency with a mark that could be seen only with a powerful microscope. And because the technology would, for the first time, allow for extremely precise regulation of the size of the ink drop, it would also make extremely high-resolution visible images possible. "The proposed printing technology, when ready, should be capable of producing fine-resolution images that are invisible to the naked eye and that could be used for the purpose of encryption," said Surajit Sen, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics at UB and lead author. "You could even think about using such a technology to produce extremely tiny, hard copies of large documents, like books," Sen said. "You could prepare documents that are very tiny and so can be easily transported, but which could be accessed in their entirety by being run through a computer. A 200-page book might be able to be packed into just a few sheets of paper." The UB physicists have proven a theoretical concept and a design for a potential inkjet printer that could make ink drops as much as 100 times smaller than the size that is possible with today's best inkjet printers, making them invisible to the naked eye. At the same time, the concept includes ways to cluster inkdrops together, creating visible images with extremely high resolution. "If our research pans out, a device like this could make feasible unusual applications that, right now, are simply impossible to accomplish," said Sen. A provisional patent application has been filed by UB on the concept and design. The "Holy Grail" of higher-resolution images in inkjet printing is the ability to squeeze out tinier and tinier drops of ink. But because the printers use a nozzle to spray ink drops onto the paper, the drops can only be as small as the size of that nozzle. Not anymore, say the UB physicists, whose research proposes a way to do away completely with inkjet printer nozzles. "In our paper, we present the concept and calculations that describe the method of designing inkjet printers that are nozzle-free and, therefore, capable of attaining unprecedented resolution with inkdrop sizes that can be as small as 15 or 20 nanometers," explained Sen. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter. The very smallest inkdrop size now available in state-of-the-art inkjet printers is, at best, a millionth of a meter, Sen said. According to the paper's authors, technology based on this research would allow drops of ink to come out of a printer at variable speeds, eliminating the need for expensive specially-coated papers that are necessary with inkjet printers now. It also would allow for invisible -- or visible -- images to be printed on things other than paper, Sen said, such as dollar bills, or even electronic devices. The concept is based on printing with inks made of ferrofluid particles that form a stable colloid in colored water. The particles are aligned along the direction of an applied magnetic field. "When an appropriately orchestrated mechanical impulse is applied along the direction of that magnetic field, a tight bundle of energy called a solitary wave is generated in the chain of ferrofluid particles," Sen explained. "This solitary wave travels along the chain and pushes a particle out of the liquid and onto the paper, or whatever is being imprinted, and the image is made." The mechanical impulse eliminates the need for nozzles, which ordinarily provide the impetus for spraying the ink onto paper. The study's co-authors and co-investigators in the provisional patent application are Felicia S. Manciu and Marian Manciu, both doctoral candidates in the UB Department of Physics. The work was funded partially by Sandia National Laboratories of the Department of Energy. The idea for the research grew out of a UB Multidisciplinary Pilot Project Program grant to Sen and Bernard Weinstein, Ph.D., professor of physics, and Nassir Ashgriz, Ph.D., professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

[CTRL] Land off limits to humans (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_lamb/19990901_xchla_land_off_l.shtml Land: off limits to humans By Henry Lamb © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com Suppose half the land in the United States were suddenly declared "off limits" to people, and most of the remaining half were managed by government agencies to assure that the needs of "non-human populations" were given priority over the needs of humans. Grounds for another civil war? Had the transformation been declared suddenly, and publicly, there would undoubtedly be a public uprising of civil war proportions. The transformers are far too smart for that. Instead, the transformation plan is buried in tons of boring bureaucratic bunk that rarely catches a reporter's eye. Nevertheless, government agencies are quietly going about the task of taking control of every square inch of American soil in order to convert "at least half" of the lower 48 into wilderness, while managing most of the remaining half for "conservation objectives," forcing the people into so-called "sustainable communities." This plan was first published in the United States in 1992 by Dave Foreman, co-founder of Earth First! and now a director of the Sierra Club. Even though the plan was written by Dr. Reed Noss, and funded by The Nature Conservancy and the Audubon Society, no one took it very seriously. After all, who could take seriously the idea of locking up half the country beyond the reach of people? The Department of Interior took it seriously, as did the Environmental Protection Agency. Both federal agencies, under the direct instruction of Al Gore, changed dramatically their policies relating to land management. Both agencies adopted the idea that human beings were to be considered a "biological resource," and that ecosystem protection would be elevated to the same priority level as "human health." The United Nations took it seriously. Foreman's plan is named specifically, as "central" to the biodiversity protection scheme required by the Convention on Biological Diversity, in an official U.N. publication entitled, Global Biodiversity Assessment. Sadly, private landowners are now taking the plan seriously, even though they have no idea that the plan even exists. In South Florida, Jared Figley is being pressured by a state agency to leave the land his family has ranched for four generations. In Pennsylvania, Bob Learzaf's land, purchased by his great-grand-uncle in 1923, is being taken from him by the feds -- without compensation. From one end of the country to the other, people are being squeezed off their land under some pretense of protecting the environment. What we are now just beginning to see is hardly the tip of the iceberg. Dozens of federal programs have been launched to implement Foreman's plan incrementally. The U.S. Man and the Biosphere Program (USMAB) is working to expand 47 U.N. Biosphere Reserves in the United States, each of which consists of wilderness areas, "managed" areas, and "zones of transition," which are used to continually expand the area under government domination. Al Gore's Clean Water Initiative, and Clinton's Land Legacy Initiative, are both designed to extend federal jurisdiction over private land in the name of protecting the environment. At the same time, the President's Council on Sustainable Development is waging war on urban sprawl by promoting "visioning councils" to transform American cities into "sustainable communities." Without any public announcement, without any congressional debate, and certainly without the consent of the governed, the federal government is transforming America to conform to the plan Foreman published in 1992. "No," say the feds, "we're just trying to protect the environment." That's the same "feds" who for six years denied using pyrotechnics at Waco, led by the chief fed who "... did not have sex with that woman." Many, if not most, of the state and federal field workers have no idea that the policies they are implementing are even related to a grand plan to transform America. They are just doing as they are told, often defending the integrity of their agency, while being used by their superiors to subvert the very foundations of American liberty. Private property rights are constantly under attack as the major obstacle to "institutional environmental management." Property rights advocates are also attacked as "anti-environment" activists. Private owners are, by far, the best caretakers of the land. The problem is, private owners may not care for their land in the same way that the government thinks it should be cared for. By bringing the awesome power of government to bear on landowners individually, through its myriad programs, the government is succeeding in transforming America. Should private landowners wake up, and realize that what's happening to their neighbors will soon be happening to them, there may well be an uprising. --- Henry Lamb is the executive vice president of the
[CTRL] Recent Headline Story and My Response to TV Station
-Caveat Lector- I sent this email to the president of the TV station... You may want to check out the website and see the story... The 3rd paragraph simply states that 4 guns were found and has nothing to do with the rest of the story... The Media is controlled. Jamie Just last night Channel 6 did a story on a child pornographer they found in Bristow. During the live broadcast from the home of the suspect the reporter questioned one of the officers informed about situation. The reporter then asked the officer if there were guns found in the house. The officer responded and said they had found some. Here's my question... What do guns and child porn have in common? This wouldn't be some secret campaign out to smear gun owners would it? What does it matter if he had guns? It has nothing to do with what he's been charged for. It's an American right to own guns. What's the connection? Even on your website you say guns were found...Well, so what? Did they find a microwave too? There may be a connection there you know.

The group destroyed five rows of transgenic melons, sixteen rows of transgenic walnut trees, sixty rows of pesticide-ridden tomatoes as well as removed two pieces of research equipment at two UC-Davis GE facilities. The incident-which targeted the Department of Plant Pathology (DPP) and the Center for Engineering Plants for Resistance Against Pathogens (CEPRAP)-was the sixth anti-GE action this month by two different groups, following three previous events in California and two in Minnesota. "The University of California at Davis has one of the largest transgenic research programs in the world," said conservative organic farmer Johnna Appleseed. "From tomatoes and trees to primates and mice, UC provides the biotech industry with lucrative data at public expense. Reclaim the Seeds says enough is enough, and our actions speak louder than words. Nonviolent direct action is a most powerful force. Resistance to genetic engineering is as transnational as capital." The action by Reclaim the Seeds is part of a growing worldwide rejection of genetically engineered (GE) crops and of the handful of transnational corporations like Monsanto, Novartis and DuPont which are attempting to manipulate the future of the world's agriculture and food supply in order to bolster their own profits. In the last year there have been over forty acts of crop destruction in Great Britain, others in India and at least eleven such actions in the US since the spring-two in California in late July and one each in Vermont, California and Maine in August, two in Minnesota and four in California this month. Details of past anti-GE actions are available at www.tao.ca/~ban/ar.htm. Genetix Alert is an independent news center which works with other above-ground, anti-genetic engineering organizations. GA has no knowledge of the person(s) who carryout any underground actions. GA does not advocate illegal acts, but seeks to explain why people destroy genetically engineered crops and undertake other nonviolent actions aimed at resisting genetic engineering and increasing the difficulty for entities which seek to advance genetic engineering or its products.

Five rows of transgenic melons, 16 rows of transgenic walnut trees, 60 rows of pesticide-ridden tomatoes, and two pieces of research equipment were removed from the biotech agenda of UC-Davis's Department of Plant Pathology (DPP) and the Center for Engineering Plants for Resistance Against Pathogens (CEPRAP). The incident was the fifth in as many weeks, following three previous events in Davis and one in Berkeley. "The University of California at Davis has one of the largest transgenic research programs in the world. From tomatoes and trees to primates and mice, UC provides the biotech industry with lucrative data at public expense. Reclaim the Seeds says enough is enough, and our actions speak louder than words," said conservative organic farmer Johnna Appleseed. "Nonviolent direct action is a most powerful force." The DPP and CEPRAP share the same address, field facilities, and at least one similar research focus: to manipulate the genetic code of plants in order to repel pests and disease, and/or to tolerate specific pesticides. However, substantial scientific evidence points out the dangers of this agenda: the creation of 'super-pests' which are resistant to ever-increasing levels of pesticides; the cross-pollination of organic plants with mutant genes; the negative impact on wildlife and human health; and the instability of GE crops, a serious threat to the world's food security.

E-mail message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . = SCIENTISTS SAY FUTURE IS IN THE BALANCE In 1992, Sir Michael Atiyah, president of the Royal Society of London, and Dr. Frank Press, president of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, issued a joint statement under the title, "Population Growth, Resource Consumption and a Sustainable World."[1] The Royal Society, founded in 1660, is sometimes called the United Kingdom's Academy of Science. This joint statement, issued by two of the world's leading scientific organizations, was unprecedented. The Royal Society, in particular, had in the past been very reluctant to issue pronouncements on matters of public policy that might stir controversy. Unfortunately, this important joint statement was almost entirely ignored by the world's media. Therefore, we are reprinting it verbatim as part of our series on "the meaning of sustainability." The statement says that if population growth continues and patterns of human activity remain unchanged, "science and technology may not be able to prevent either irreversible degradation of the environment or continued poverty for much of the world." "The future of our planet is in the balance" the statement says. "Sustainable development can be achieved, but only if irreversible degradation of the environment can be halted in time. The next 30 years may be crucial." The joint statement: WORLD POPULATION In its 1991 report on world population, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) states that population growth is even faster than forecast in its report of 1984. Assuming nevertheless that there will in the future be substantial and sustained falls in fertility rates, the global population is expected in the UN's mid-range projection to rise from 5.4 billion in 1991 to 10 billion in 2050. This rapid rise may be unavoidable; considerably larger rises must be expected if fertility rates do not stabilize at the replacement level of about 2.1 children per woman. At present, about 95 percent of this growth is in the less developed countries (LDCs); the percentage of global population that live in the LDCs is projected to increase from 77 percent in 1990 to 84 percent in 2020. THE ENVIRONMENT Although there is a relationship between population, economic activity, and the environment, it is not simple. Most of the environmental changes during the twentieth century have been a product of the efforts of humans to secure improved standards of food, clothing, shelter, comfort, and recreation. Both developed and developing countries have contributed to environmental degradation. Developed countries, with 85 percent of the world's gross national product and 23 percent of its population, account for the majority of mineral and fossil-fuel consumption. One issue alone, the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide, has the potential for altering global climate with significant consequences for all countries. The prosperity and technology of the developed countries, however, give them the greater possibilities and the greater responsibility for addressing environmental problems. In the developing countries the resource consumption per capita is lower, but the rapidly growing population and the pressure to develop their economies are leading to substantial and increasing damage to the local environment. This damage comes by direct pollution from energy use and other industrial activities, as

-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded Message Follows --- Date sent: 30 Sep 1999 18:16:47 - To: List Member [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: "Common Courage Political Literacy Course" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Inside the Trojan Horse of the "Free Press" Information about this email course is at the bottom. Myth: With so many news outlets and so many journalists looking for the next big story, you can't help but be informed. It's true: the number of TV and radio stations is growing and set to explode as the internet moves into its so-called broadband phase, where radio and TV can be broadcast over the net. But the concentration of media ownership continues, shaping what we learn and how it's presented. Consider the impact of just four aspects of mass media culled from Norman Solomon's "The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media:" 1) Advertising weakens hard-hitting journalism. Glossy full-page ads glorifying smoking adorn many magazines. Few media outlets do more than mention dry statistics on tobacco's effects. Children's TV programs include commercials pushing soda pop and junk food. Journalists are silent on the effects of this advertising on the nation's health. Sport events sell beer on TV. Who among us knows no one affected by cigarette-linked cancer, serious eating disorders or heavy drinking? While the media is not responsible for these ills, they are effectively promoting major risk factors--with little discussion of that fact in the media. 2) The media have grown so powerful that they are now given rights to billions of dollars worth of broadcast spectrum--for free. While journalists regularly laud the free market, few note the contradiction of this giveaway. 3) Powerful journalists ignore issues of conflict of interest. Covering a 1980 presidential debate, columnist George Will praised Reagan's performance against Carter. Now noted by The Wall Street Journal as "perhaps the most powerful journalist in America," Will's role as debate coach for Reagan has come to light, including Will's reading of briefing materials stolen from the Carter White House. Meanwhile, serious investigative journalists like Gary Webb at San Jose Mercury News, who linked the CIA-backed Nicaraguan contras with the spread of crack cocaine in the early 1980s, were left to "twist in the wind," according to journalist Daniel Schorr. 4) Think tanks, whose experts populate the guest lists of the major news media, are increasingly oriented to promoting powerful corporate interests. They're sometimes even owned by those who own the media -- providing slanted information under the guise of expertise. According to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, the Brookings Institution, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute all had over 1,000 citations in the media in 1995, 1996 and 1997. John Malone, head of Tele-Communications Inc (TCI), and News Corporation chief Rupert Murdoch grace Cato's board. It's little surprise, given these board members' interests, that Cato boasts of having "actively promoted the deregulation of television and telephone industries." With advertising's grip, and powerful media securing giveaways of broadcast spectrum (which is essentially taxpayer property), with big name journalists escaping consequences of blatant conflict of interest, and think tanks promoting experts as impartial while maintaining strong ties to the right, getting informed requires reading alternative sources.

To make a wage increase less costly to small businesses -- which employ many of the 4.4 million workers that would be affected -- G.O.P. leaders in the House of Representatives plan to pair a wage increase with some business-friendly tax breaks, such as: o Tax credits for hiring entry-level workers. o An increase in the business meal deduction from 50 percent to 80 percent. o A full deduction for health insurance premiums paid by the self-employed. The size of the tax breaks is likely to depend on how much the minimum wage is raised. While Democrats want a $1 boost over two years, a bipartisan House alternative would increase it $1.30 over four years. The estimated cost to employers is up to $3 billion a year. About 3 percent of workers would benefit from the increase. Half of them are under 25, nearly two-thirds are women, and three- fifths work only part time. Congress last raised the minimum in 1996, from $4.25 to $5.15. By contrast, the average hourly wage for all private sector employees is about $13 an hour. When adjusted for inflation, average pay and the minimum wage are worth less than in 1979. Source: Owen Ullmann, "This Time, GOP Likely to Concede on Raising Wages," USA Today, September 30, 1999.

Critics say it would hurt people on the lower rungs of the economic ladder o Congress is scheduled to spend $7.6 billion in surplus contributions to Social Security to run the government in the 2000 fiscal year, which starts Friday. o But because under the new plan about $8 billion won't be spent in FY 2000, Republicans show a $400 million surplus -- not a $7.6 billion hit on Social Security. o According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill could be much higher: Republicans are actually on course to spend $17.9 billion out of Social Security. Republicans say the only way to avoid raiding Social Security is to distribute the EITC in 12 monthly payments next year rather than the normal lump sum paid to qualifying low-income working families after tax returns are filed. Because the fiscal year ends September 30, the last three payments in 2000 would count against the FY 2001 budget. o About 20 million Americans in households earning from $10,200 to $30,580 are eligible for the EITC. o They received
[CTRL] Gunz 'N Kids
-Caveat Lector- This echoes an email post by the Libertarians I sent along a couple of months ago. Hamblin references the Libs so I guess it's about the same thing. Bottom line: Parental Involvement. AER Begin article Via NEWSMAX.COM The Unpopular Truth About Kids and Guns Ken Hamblin September 30, 1999 Years of experience have taught me that no one is better at pulling the wool over the eyes of the American people than the ``ethical, objective'' journalists of the mainstream media. Challenge your typical city editor, television assignment editor or newspaper publisher with that contention, however, and I can assure you that he or she will passionately deny it. I realize it's no light accusation to charge that the fourth estate and the electronic-media clique manage our news on behalf of their own political agendas. I also am quite aware that in doing so I am assailing a group that holds itself in august esteem and very much wants others to share that view. But day after day I see examples of bias in the direction of the media corps' admittedly generally liberal leanings _ bias sometimes expressed in deliberate distortions but, just as often and potentially just as dangerously, in errors of omission. Take, for instance, the matter of a recent study by the United States Department of Justice, which not long ago was brought to my attention by a listener to my syndicated talk-radio show. Conducted from 1993 to 1995 by the department's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, this study was undertaken in an attempt to determine the relationship between ``problem behaviors'' such as drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, crime and the expanding occurrence of violent criminal behavior among our youth. Child psychologists conversed with and tracked the lives of 4,000 boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 15 in Pittsburgh, Denver and Rochester, N.Y. What they learned apparently wasn't what the media's town criers against firearms wanted to hear _ or, at any rate, that seems the most likely reason that, to the best of my knowledge, the study never was reported on the nightly television news or in most big-city newspapers. Nevertheless, the government's conclusions are striking. Children who get guns from their parents are no more likely to commit any kind of street crime than are those children who have no gun in the house, the study revealed. And children who acquire an illegal gun are about five times more likely to commit street crimes than are kids who get guns from their parents. In short, children who get guns from their parents are not the ones who commit gun crimes, according to this study. It's children who get guns illegally who are most likely to commit such crimes. Moreover, children who obtain illegal guns are almost four times more likely to use drugs than are children whose parents have given them guns. ``Boys who own legal firearms have much lower rates of delinquency and drug use,'' the study added, ``and are even slightly less delinquent than non-owners of guns.'' Why haven't we all heard this hard data? Why isn't the whole country talking about this clear evidence that guns and children are not in and of themselves at the root of society's problem with kids using guns to commit crimes? Clearly the politicians _ with the aid of their like-minded friends in the media _ don't want to hear about evidence that counters their campaign to undermine, compromise and ultimately abolish our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. And, needless to say, they don't want you to hear about it, either. From time to time I've spoken with Steve Desbach, the national director of the Libertarian Party, on my radio show. He agrees that this survey and others like it speak for themselves. ``The evidence is in,'' he says. ``The simplest way to reduce firearm-related violence among children is to buy them a gun and teach them how to use it responsibly. When it comes to preventing youthful violence, the Second Amendment apparently works better than the so-called solutions being proposed by politicians.'' For myself, I find this study fascinating, and convincing. If the media wanted to try to interpret its results differently, I'd be prepared to listen _ but to simply ignore it strikes me as the worst kind of irresponsibility. To my brethren in the media, I can say only this: It's your right as free men and women to oppose the ownership of firearms and, yes, even to campaign against the ownership of guns. But to deliberately stick your head in the sand concerning the statistics about violence among children with guns undercuts any evidence you can raise to support your arguments. When you ignore contrary evidence, what you do ceases to be reporting _ it becomes propaganda, pure and simple. And I'm sure that bright, intelligent men and women such as yourselves realize that, in resorting to propaganda, you're following in the well-worn footsteps of despots and bigots who, like yourselves, felt that

-Caveat Lector- *** Mob hit man admits to killings BOSTON (AP) - A mob hit man who told federal prosecutors he killed 20 people in gangland shootings pleaded guilty Thursday to 10 murders and to racketeering and extortion charges. John Martorano, 58, agreed to the plea worked out with federal prosecutors that calls for a 12-1/2-year sentence in exchange for testifying against his cohorts in a major mob trial. As U.S. District Court Judge Mark Wolf read the 78 charges against him and asked if he understood them, Martorano repeatedly replied, "Yes, your honor." The deal still needed approval from Wolf, who has expressed concerns about the arrangement. In a recent ruling, Wolf noted that Martorano turned informant only after learning that codefendants in a racketeering case were FBI informants for decades.

That's Murder One, two counts - a long slow ride to death row, especially if one or both of'em are white and I'm not. Did the death penalty deter me? But suppose I'm John The Shark, and I work for Tony The Tiger, and my job is killing people, mostly "business" competitors of Tony's. And I get caught somewhere along the line, but I cut a deal with the prosecutors: give me a light sentence and I'll give you Tony, testify about the hits he ordered. Better yet, give me a couple million bucks and a new identity, and I'll talk all about Tony and his associates: their drug-running, their murders, the unions they run, the cash they laundered, some of the cops politicians they bribed [not all of'em - wouldn't be prudent, eh?], that kind of stuff. And I'm off to a new life. Did the death penalty deter me? Or suppose I'm dealing crack/smack/whatever down in the projects cause there's no other way where I live to make money, and I know it's a high-risk business where competitors will kill me without thinking about it, so I have to be ready to kill them just the same. And I know that I have almost zero chance of being free and alive for many more years 'cause that's what this life is like, so if I'm threatened, I'll kill fast. Does the death penalty deter me? Death penalties don't deter rational cold-blooded killers and don't deter irrational hot-blooded killers. Death penalties only deter people who aren't likely to commit murder [the intentional killing of a human with malice aforethought] anyway - and they'd be deterred just as well with the prospect of life without parole, eh?

Re: [CTRL] Israel -- WANTED: Holy Blood
-Caveat Lector- Poor poor Bill Kingsbury. Since modern genetics has more or less disproved the most recent attempt to separate modern Jews from their history, namely the Bible and it geography, by debunking the * Jews are really Khazars * nonsense, he now has to fall back on quoting the Jewish encyclopedia circa 1905 to keep up the good work. What's the matter Bill? Haven't the Jews produced a more up to date encyclopedia? ** In his article on Purity of Race, Jacobs gives several important facts that were forcing anthropologists of his day to reconsider the modern Jew's racial claims to be Biblical Israel. In the study of craniometry which involves the measurements of the skull, the evidence was clearly mounting against the modern Jews. After extensive samples were taken from a broad spectrum of Jewish groups world-wide. The conclusion was evident. Jacobs writes; "They are predominantly brachycephalic, or broad-headed, while the Semites of Arabic origin are invariably dolichocephalic, or long-headed" (Jew. Enc. X (1905), 284). Simply put, all known Semites have historically been long-headed, but the modern Jews were predominantly round-headed! While Jacobs avoids drawing any personal conclusions, he relates a prevailing view of his time: "Some anthropologist are inclined to associate the racial origins of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and curved noses they appear to have inherited" (Jew. Enc. X (1905), 284). The findings of some anthropologist were leading them to conclude that the modern Jews were not in fact Semites at all, but rather descendants of the ancient Hittites. Jacobs however was personally hesitant to confess that the Jews were not the Jews, simply because of the profound implications it imposed. ** Craniometry? Purity of Race? Round heads and Long Heads? Hittites? Armenians? What happened to Khazars? Don't I have postings from you proving that modern Jews are not Biblical Israel but Khazars? Wasn't craniometry laughed at as far back as the 1930's? You poor pathetic racist jerk. No matter how you slice it, it still comes out the same. I am, and you're not.

The name 'Judea' was soon changed to 'Idumea' (Edom land). Their kings were the 'Jewish' Edomite Herodian dynasty (who built Herod's Temple). Many (or most?) Jewish Pharisees (not Saducees) were Edomite Jews. The Pharisees took over and put the Saducees out of business. The Jewish Encyclopedia says 'Edom is in modern Jewry.' (Many parts of the Bible are devoted to cursing all Edomites to death, including the entire Jewish book of Obadiah. Ban that bad book?)

-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: Curbing Corporate Crime Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1999 22:01:04 -0500 (CDT) From: "Robert Kemp" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: ? To: undisclosed-recipients:; -- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1999 20:06:25 -0700 Subject: ESPFwd: Curbing Corporate Crime from corp-focus: ...When we released the Top 100 Corporate Criminals of the 1990s, we received a message from Robert Waldrop, the director of the Archbishop Oscar Romero Catholic Worker House in Oklahoma City. Waldrop's Catholic Worker House feeds the poor, takes in people who are being evicted and generally helps those in need. Having worked with the poor, Waldrop has come to the conclusion that in this country "you get all of the justice that you can afford to pay for." That's why the prisons aren't overrun with the executives and shareholders of our major corporate felons. Waldrop has concluded that we should begin treating corporate criminals the way we treat street criminals. So, he drew up a list of "Necessary Measures for Curbing the Corporate Crime Wave." Waldrop wrote the list "tongue in cheek," but he has gotten such a rave response to it that he believes that it might be the basis for a political movement to curb corporate crime. After all, why should a corporate felon, its owners and managers, be allowed to influence our elections when an individual is stripped of his or her right to vote? It is time to start thinking about how to level the playing field. With Waldrop's permission, we hereby reprint his "Eleven Necessary Measures for Curbing the Corporate Crime Wave." 1. The stockholders and management of corporations convicted of felonies should lose their right to vote and run for public office. 2. A registry should be maintained in each area of criminal corporations, and any corporation convicted of a felony should be required to register with the local police. A notice should be sent to all of their neighbors that a criminal corporation is taking up residence in their locality. 3. Criminal corporations should lose all corporate welfare benefits and government contracts. 4. Criminal corporations should be required to make weekly visits to parole officers, and their stockholders and management should be subject to random drug tests (either urine or hair). 5. Criminal corporations should not be allowed to operate within 500 yards of a school, church or library. 6. Criminal corporations should be required to place the phrase "A criminal corporation" on all advertising, signs and vehicles as a public warning. 7. If criminal corporations violate the terms of their parole, their stockholders and officers should go to jail. 8. In addition to the fine on the corporation, the personal assets of stockholders should be forfeited for their criminal negligence and lack of oversight. 9. The increasing number of lawless corporations calls for stricter penalties. Bring back the death penalty for corporations. In this context, the 'death penalty' is the closure of the corporation, the forfeiture of its assets to its victims and/or the government and the winding up of its affairs by a court appointed receiver. 10. Stockholders and management should be required to wear monitoring bracelets for the duration of their parole, and may not travel outside of their jurisdiction without a written pass from their parole officer. 11. The stockholders and management of criminal corporations may not associate with the stockholders and management of other corporate felons, and are forbidden to keep and bear arms. Waldrop believes says that "the original conception of the corporation was limited -- there had to be a definite public service." "Now that whole concept has been stretched and there is no accountability," Waldrop says. He encourages readers to spread his list far and wide.

Last time it offered a Davidic "MESSIAH," things turned out even WORSE. Howdy, Can you expand on that statement? The United Kingdom was split in two by a civil war (led by the Prophets) as soon as David died and his son Solomon became king, claiming the Judean throne primarily by eliminating his brothers and other claimants next in line. Afterwards, raw power politics of a sort worthy only of a Herod. Judah under Assyrian rule -- "Messiah" Hezekiah put forward by the prophet Isaiah, but only ending in disaster. Judah under Egyptian vs. Babylonian rule -- "Messiah" Josiah put forward by the prophet Jeremiah, but only ending in disaster. Judah under Persian rule -- "Messiah" Joshua put forward by the anonymous prophet known to scholars as "second Isaiah," a mouthpiece for EZRA, but only ending in disaster. Judah under the Seleucids -- a Hasmonean/Maccabean "Messiah" (the subject of the apoocryphal Book of Daniel) put forward by the Zadokite priests who evolved into the"Essenes" of the Qumran Community, but, after several generations of corrupt Hasonean/Maccabean power politics, only ending in disaster, with the conquest of Judea by Rome under general Pompey the Great. Next, I'm referring, of course, to "Messiah" Yeshua ben Yusuf, aka Jesus Christ. I'm sure that when the anti-government agitation of John the Baptist (believed by many at the time to be the expected Messiah) first began causing problems for King Herod, Rome grew concerned that the fragile puppet-state it had established in order to keep the Jewish people in subjection to the Empire was being "destablized" by a "radical" faction among whose goals was independence of Roman rule. Messianic hopes --i.e., the outcry for a "Liberator" (from foreign oppression)-- were high among the populace -- so high, in fact, that Herod's "public relations" men in the "priestly" bureaucracy made an effort to convince the populace that Herod HIMSELF was that expected Messiah. That didn't fare too well either with Herod's Roman masters, since they understood full well that the MAIN attribute of any Messiah was that he spearhead a REVOLT against foreign domination. So Herodians shuttled back and forth between Jerusalem to Rome, trying to convince the Emperor of the "loyalty" (obedience) of their Jewish subjects to Roman authority and the ultimate security of these puppet-kings' Roman client State. So, when the execution of John the Baptist not only failed to quell popular discontent with Herod's rule --therefore, with ROMAN rule-- but instead led only to INCREASED agitation by John's disciples (led by the Baptist's protege Jesus of Nazareth), it was only a matter of time before Rome's "peacekeepers" would be dispatched to the Holy Land to "restore law and order" (just as had occurred a litle over a century earlier, when Judea was first conquered by the Empire) and put down increasing rioting by "armed dissidents" among the Jewish people. Rome, like any good Empire, thought first of preserving the "balance of power" in the global "commonwealth" it ruled and, like any good Empire, was committed to the "stability" which its fascist puppets guaranteed in its client-states, which of course provided all the economic resources the Empire required for the high standard of living enjoyed by Roman citizens everywhere. (Sound familiar?) Rome simply could not permit a kind of COUNTER-Empire --a RELIGIOUS State to which tens of millions of Jews throughout the Roman Empire might swear HIGHER allegience-- to come into being, at a time ironically coinciding with Roma's achievement of total hegemony in the Near East as well as in Europe. So, by the logic of "diplomacy" in ANY Empire, Rome needed to make an example of Judea for daring to question Roman authority, by destroying the freedom-loving SPIRIT of the Jews in every possible way -- by publicly "dethroning" the Jews' "all-powerful" God (by burning the Temple and urinating on the Holy of Holies), massacring the Jews' more revolutionary religious leaders, butchering millions of people in a show of Rome's military superiority, dispersing the Jews in wave after wave of refugees, and forbidding Jews from ever again setting foot in their own homeland. Standard "foreign policy," for the world's good, no? So, 2000 years after the crucifixion and reputed resurrection of the "Savior of mankind," what's changed? NOTHING. The "Empire" STILL rules, ABSOLUTELY -- after only a superficial change of clothing attendant on Constantine's adoption of the ROMANIZED "Christianity" of Paul as the "official STATE religion" -- the religion of a State that has never ceased to rule in ungodly

The resemblance between voodoo and journalism is remarkable with the possible exception that in the rituals of media, chutzpa replaces incense. The Clinton/media ionization becomes less abstruse in consideration, journalism is not a profession, but a cult, although its ceremonies involve more ink than incense. Preparing for a ceremony to invoke the Spirit of Corruption Past (Clinton's Arkansas Governorship) a media rite-meister was heard to say, "We're okay for incense, but just to be on the safe side, send out for more bull excrement." Members of the media are each other's idols, which is an aggravated example of settling cheap. Over-compensated and deliciously smug, they are almost over- qualified to be a cult. Their article of faith is implicit belief in Bill Clinton. If that does not qualify them to be called a cult (or some other four- letter word) what does? He is the natural icon for cult worship because of his mastery of the bongo drums, something he can beat without having to "finish himself off." Clinton, a rogue moon, inserts easily into the constellation of omission, complicity and mediocrity that configures journalism as we know it.

Title: Dave Hartleyhttp://www.Asheville-Computer.comhttp://www.ioa.com/~davehart Murder By Injection: The Medical Conspiracy Against America Click here to orderby Eustace Mullins This book is a truly thorough account of the machinations underlying America's steadily deteriorating health, and is the result of some forty years of investigative research by the author Eustace Mullins. MURDER BY INJECTION reinforces and adds further light to the devastating exposés, WORLD WITHOUT CANCER by G. Edward Griffin, THE DRUG STORY by Morris Bealle and Hans Ruesch's NAKED EMPRESS OR THE GREAT MEDICAL FRAUD. MURDER BY INJECTION explains how the ruthless Rockefeller Syndicate - under the control of the world financial structure, chiefly the Rothschilds - plays the major political, health and educational roles in America. The book describes the various arms of the Rockefeller Syndicate and their functions: the Rockefeller Oil Trust, which incorporates much of the American military-industrial complex, has political control of the nation; the Rockefeller Medical Monopoly attains control of "health" care of America; and the Rockefeller Foundation, a web of affiliated tax exempt creations, effectively controls "education". Mullins specifies names throughout the book, many of them belonging to familiar public figures in America. Companies and their board of directors are listed with all their connections. Eustace Mullins says that in 1987 the United States still maintains an overwhelming lead in the production and sale of drugs. Eleven of the eighteen leading firms are located in the United States and the Drug Trust in the United States is controlled by the Rockefeller group. Mullins adds: "The major banks, defense firms, and prominent political figures interlock with the CIA and the drug firms." He further states that the Rockefeller interests, having established the American Drug Trust, had long been active not only in pharmaceutical drugs but in illegal drugs as well. Mullins writes: "No chronical of the world's important drug firms would be complete without relating the connection between drug firms and the world drug operation known as 'Dope, Inc.'." Mullins describes how the Rockefellers with the help of the American Medical Association and government officials gained control of America's "health" care industry in the early part of this century. "Educating" medical students was instrumental in their plan, Mullins writes: "Rockefeller's Education Board has spent more than $100 million to gain control of the nation's medical schools and turn our physicians to physicians of the allopathic school, dedicated to surgery and the heavy use of drugs." MURDER BY INJECTION describes in detail the many other dangerous and lucrative rackets that the Rockefeller Syndicate has foistered onto the unsuspecting public and which are responsible for the contamination of our land, oceans and rivers, our water and food supplies, and our bodies. For example Mullins writes: "While conducting wars of attrition against the leading exponents of better nutrition, the Food and Drug Administration and the American Medical Association have valiantly defended the use of chemical fertilizers... (which, according to Dr Alexis Carrel) 'without replacing all the exhausted elements of the soil, have indirectly contributed to change the nutritive value of cereal grains and vegetables.'" On vaccinations: "After the use of cowpox vaccine became widespread in England, a smallpox epidemic broke out which killed 22,081 people. The smallpox epidemics became worse each year that the vaccine was used. In 1872, 44,480 people were killed by it. England finally banned the vaccine in 1948, despite the fact that it was one of the most widely heralded 'contributions' which that country had made to modern medicine. This action came after many years of compulsory vaccination, during which period those who refused to submit to its dangers were hurried off to jail." On fluoridation: "What he [Oscar Ewing] wanted, and what he had been paid to bring about, was the national fluoridation of our drinking water... At the same time, Congressmen and other politicians in Washington were privately alerted by Ewing's minions that they should be careful about ingesting the fluoridated water. Supplies of bottled water from mountain springs then appeared in every office on Capitol Hill; these have been maintained continuously ever since, at the taxpayers' expense." On the consequences of the Rockefellers' control: "The criminal syndicalists are now looting the American nation of one trillion dollars each year, of which about one-third, more than three hundred billion dollars per year, represents the profitable depredations of the Drug Trust and its medical subsidiaries... "America became the greatest and most productive nation in the world. When the Rockefeller Syndicate began its takeover of our medical profession in

Allopathic medicine is designed to attack and to destroy, rather than heal, per se. In my view a paradigm shift in the medical community AWAY from allopathic medicine and into an approach that focuses on healing the damage done to the body rather than attacking the body along with the disease. That is the main problem with the philisophical basis of allopathy or western medical care via The AMA. The AMA states that their physicians "take pride in early detection and cure of disease." Osteopathy, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Eastern Herbal medicine, etc., etc., etc. (i.e., just about all forms of medical care delivery outside those sanctioned and under the auspices of the AMA, or BMA in the UK, or the APA (The Amer. Psychiatric Assoc), ALL aim at preventative efforts, i.e., to keep one in balance, or to help the human body return to a proper homeostatic balance.

The rest of it can go Checks and balances, separation of powers, and the rest would have to defend themselves in the court of democratic opinion, something they have never had to do since ratification. All would be considered guilty until proven innocent." Thus Daniel Lazare, a well-known leftist writer. You can find the latest edition of Lazare's suggested itinerary towards a socialist America in the October Harper's, under the title "Your Constitution Is Killing You -- A Reconsideration of the Right to Bear Arms," where he invites us to face what he regards as the obvious connection between 240 million guns and "the increase of violence in our culture." Lazare regards anyone who does not connect these two "facts" as a person "determined to avoid" something utterly true. This supposed increase in violence is established by evocation of the killings at Columbine High, and a kindred episode in Conyers, Georgia shortly thereafter, with "crazed day traders and resentful adolescents mowing down large numbers of their fellow citizens every few weeks." If we are to believe Lazare these killers come to us courtesy of a "messy and unruly...pre-modern pre-modern" constitution that obstructs the "neat and orderly" society desired by all good liberals. Because of the regrettable reverence in which this same constitution is held, "we" are forced to stand "helplessly by while ordinary people are gunned down by a succession of heavily armed maniacs". CounterPunch is not sure who the "we" is here. The time we most vividly remember as an occasion for standing helplessly by while ordinary people were gunned down by heavily armed maniacs was when we all watched the Branch Davidians burn. And later we had to watch the federal building in Oklahoma City crumbling into rubble in revenge. Should we ban fertiliser and rent-a-trucks? As we shall see, Lazare has an agenda which he does not disclose to the genteel readers of Harpers, but let us stay for a moment with his premise that random acts of bloodstained violence derive from the right to bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment. After all, it wasn't until the late l960s that the state - - perturbed by civic commotion and the specter of black power -- began its first effort in many decades to impose any conditions on gun ownership. Why wasn't the Second Amendment creating Columbines in the l950s, when kids would take guns to school because they were going to ROTC class later in the day? One could more convincingly connect the 240 million guns and the culture of violence to the vast military adventures of the past 60 years, to the training and deployment of lethal force by the state, guarding its interests abroad and at home. But in fact we're not sure whether Lazare is truly interested in gun control, as anything other than a fulcrum for heaving the whole constitution into the trashcan. He takes good care in his Harper's essay to emphasize that liberal revisionist attempts to exclude an individual's right to bear arms from the Second Amendment are no longer sustainable and that the tide of modern constitutional scholarship has flowed strongly toward the views of the gun owners. To get rid of the Second Amendment, he says, you have to attack the constitution full bore. To understand Lazare's strategy we have to go back to another essay, published in New Left Review, where we find the excited phrases quoted in our first paragraph. Lazare's theme here is that we are presently enduring "a growing crisis of American democracy", a phrase which remindeds us of a kindred "crisis of democracy" detected a generation ago by scholars in the pay of Nelson Rockefeller. Indeed, Lazare cites one of these same scholars, Sam Huntington, as the authority for the notion that it was the Puritans who transported across the Atlantic these pre-modern, messy checks, balances and separation of powers that obstruct the untrammeled exercise of popular sovereignty. Lazare should have remembered that Huntington was one of the intellectuals who dreamed up the strategic hamlets strategy in the Vietnam war, and that it takes just that sort of mindset to think that the constitution was shipped over in a container from eighteenth century England. "Separation of powers" and "checks and balances" described something very different than the baggage brought along by Puritans intent on establishing a church-state based on covenant theology. The phrases described two centuries of American political experience in the ambit of British power, French power, Spanish power, Iroquois power, Cherokee power, thirteen colonies -- with most colonies divided into Eastern and Western factions. This long experience is what the constitution embodies. And this is a different experience from the

-Caveat Lector- You're Nobody Without Your National ID Card by Tom DeWeese It's the year 2001 and you've dashed to the airport trying to catch a flight to deal with a family emergency. You're ready to buy a ticket when you're asked to produce your federally issued national identification card. You've left it at home. Sorry, you can't get on board any flight without it. It's the year 2001 and you've applied for a new job. Human Resources tells you they cannot consider your resume because it does not list your national identification number and asks to see your card. It's the year 2001 and you've just moved your family to a new State and want to get a driver's license. Without your national identification card, they will not issue it. Then you discover that, to get your new license, you will also have to provide fingerprints and a voice recognition recording that will be entered into a federal registry so you can be identified no matter where you are in the nation. It's the year 2001 and crime is up in your neighborhood. You decide to purchase a handgun to protect yourself in your home or apartment. The local police will not issue the documentation required without seeing your national identification card, nor will be able to purchase a weapon without it. It's the year 2001. You want to open a new bank account. Without your national identification card, the bank will not do business with you. When you show them your card, they ask you to sign a document permitting them to make any information about your banking activities available to any agency of the federal or state government that requests it. If this sounds like something out of a really scary novel about the way the federal government is tracking everyone in the nation from birth to death, the bad news is that it is not fiction. It will be fact if the Republican-led House of Representatives does not act soon to stop the implementation of a "Big Brother" national identification system. The man who can resolve and end the threat of this invasion of everyone's privacy is Dennis Hastert, the Speaker of the House. When Americans beat back the government takeover of the nation's health system, they thought they had protected the privacy they assume applies to their personal medical records. When they protested the proposed "Know Your Customer" banking laws that would have established massive federal data bank profiles of every bank customer, they thought their personal banking activities were again private matters. The national identification card, the instrument of every despotic government in the world, will become a reality unless Speaker Hastert hears from enough Americans who don't want the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution rendered meaningless. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" will cease. A national identification card will make us the slaves of a central government where faceless bureaucrats can pry into every aspect of our lives and thwart every action we take.

[CTRL] Gun Legislation from the Bench (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Setback for gun makers Ruling: Manufacturers can be sued for firearms' misuse. BY HOWARD MINTZ Mercury News Staff Writer A state appeals court Wednesday held for the first time that firearms manufacturers can be sued for negligence in California if they market and sell weapons with disregard for public safety. In a ruling that undercuts some of the gun industry's most cherished legal arguments, the San Francisco-based 1st District Court of Appeal reinstated a lawsuit filed as a result of the July 1993 massacre at 101 California St. in San Francisco. The justices' 2-1 decision could bolster cities and counties across California that sued gun makers earlier this year. The court rejected gun maker Navegar's argument that it could not be legally responsible for the actions of gunman Gian Luigi Ferri, a disgruntled client who killed eight people and injured six others in a shooting spree at the high-rise offices of the now-defunct San Francisco law firm Pettit Martin. The Florida-based gun maker manufactured the two assault weapons Ferri used in the attack. Citing Navegar's ``morally blameworthy conduct,'' the court determined that a jury should decide whether the company is liable for marketing a dangerous product to potential criminals. A San Francisco judge two years ago dismissed the suit, leading to Wednesday's ruling. ``Navegar's knowledge of the extraordinary risks of misuse posed by the weapon as designed and marketed . . . created risks above and beyond those citizens may reasonably be expected to bear in a society in which firearms may legally be acquired and used,'' Justice J. Anthony Kline, one of California's most liberal === appellate court judges, said in a 111-page opinion. === Lawyers for the families suing Navegar said the ruling removed a crucial roadblock, not only to their suit but also to other suits filed by gunshot victims: the gun industry's firm and often successful argument that it sells a legal product and should not be held responsible for abuses by criminals. ``It is a historic step in establishing liability on gun manufacturers,'' said San Francisco attorney Fred Brown, one of the plaintiffs' lawyers. ``It's going to change the way gun manufacturers look at their businesses and the way they conduct their businesses.'' Appeal likely Navegar attorney Ernest Getto said the company is likely to appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court, which has yet to tackle the issue of industry liability head-on. In court papers, the company insisted that state law did not permit it to be sued for Ferri's conduct, arguing that it could not predict or know that its guns might be used in a crime. ``The decision goes where no other appellate court has seen fit to go,'' Getto said. ``That manufacturers of a non-defective, legally marketed and distributed firearm can be liable for its criminal misuse. I think this decision creates real uncertainty for the manufacturers.'' If Navegar asks the state's high court to review the case, the company is likely to rely heavily on 1st District Justice Paul Haerle, who dissented from Wednesday's ruling and criticized his colleagues for ``ignoring the principle that legislatures, not the courts, should make gun-control policy.'' Haerle said both Congress and California lawmakers have recently enacted limits on assault weapons like the one used by Ferri, a TEC-DC9, eliminating the need for the courts to intervene. The TEC-9, an earlier version of the same weapon, was outlawed under California's landmark 1989 assault-weapons ban. The TEC-DC9, a slightly modified successor also made by Navegar, was outlawed in a ban signed into law in July and aimed at eliminating ``copycat'' guns. Haerle's dissent also raised the question of relative accountability. ``The terrible tragedy of July 1, 1993, in San Francisco will not soon be forgotten, nor should it be,'' Haerle wrote. ``But something else which needs to be kept in mind is the whole issue of responsibility. . . . Gian Luigi Ferri organized and executed every aspect of the tragedy underlying this litigation.'' The state appeals court, however, found that the families had produced sufficient evidence to suggest Navegar was aware its assault weapons were popular with the criminal culture and knew it was the ``weapon of choice'' for certain criminals who fit Ferri's profile. The appeals court said it was irrelevant that guns are legal, likening Navegar's conduct to any company that makes a legal product but engages in misleading marketing or knowingly sells a dangerous brand. The justices, acknowledging that they were breaking ranks with other courts around the country, determined that a jury could consider whether to punish the company because one of its weapons was used in a criminal shooting. The ruling comes at a bad time for gun makers, who are under siege across the country from lawsuits filed by local governments seeking to recover public costs associated with weapons.
[CTRL] Debt Relief: Clinton
-Caveat Lector- From Arabic News . CoM Begin article US President: immediate and effective debt cancellation needed to low income countries Regional, Economics, 9/30/99 Here is US President Bill Clinton's speech to the 1999 annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. US President Bill Clinton's: "Let me say, all of you know that a year ago we were here in a time of crisis, perhaps the most severe financial crisis in the global economy since the end of the Second World War -- a grave challenge to the IMF and the World Bank. Thanks to the hard work that you and your countries have done, economies that were sliding down are rising again. We have also worked hard, as Secretary Summers said, in the wake of these crises to prevent future ones, to respond more quickly and effectively, to lessen the toll they take on ordinary citizens. We have intensified our efforts to construct a global financial architecture that is stable and strong in the new conditions of the new economy. Still, those who were hit by this crisis were hit very hard. And many are still reeling. People lost jobs and businesses and dreams. So this can only be considered a continuing challenge for us, certainly not a time for complacency. We have more to do to restore people's faith in the future and to restore their faith, frankly, in the global economy and in global markets. Therefore, we have more to do to reform the global financial foundation upon which the future will be built. As we approach the 21st century we must also ask ourselves, however: is it enough just to fix the market that is? Should we accept the fact that, at a time when the people in the United States are enjoying perhaps the strongest economy in their history, 1.3 billion of our fellow human beings survive on less than a dollar a day? Should we accept the fact that nearly 40 million people -- after the Green revolution, when most of us discuss agriculture and food as a cause for international trade conflicts because we want to fight over who sells the most food, since there are so many places that can produce more than their own people need -- are we supposed to accept the fact that nearly 40 million people a year die of hunger? That's nearly equal to the number of all the people killed in World War II. Are we supposed to accept the fact that even though technology has changed the equation of the role of energy in the production of wealth; even though technology has changed the distances in time and space necessary for learning, and for business, as well as educational, interchanges -- are we supposed to face the fact that some people and nations are doomed to be left behind forever? I hope we will not accept that. I hope we will start the new millennium with a new resolve: to give every person in the world -- through trade and technology, through investments in education and health care -- the chance to be part of a widely shared prosperity, in which all the peoples' potential can be developed more fully. This is the challenge of the second half-century of the life of the IMF and the World Bank. And for me it is a personal priority of the highest order. Open trade already has improved the prospects of hundreds of millions by marketing the fruits of their labors and creativity beyond their borders. In this way, both the IMF and the World Bank have played a vital role in helping more nations to thrive. We need you to work with the WTO to build a rules-based framework for global trade. We need you to help developing countries provide education and training to lift wages, and to establish social safety nets for tough transitions. I applaud the strong commitment you've made at these meetings for concrete manifestations of support. We all must work to keep the economies we have influence over open, and trade growing, for developing and industrial powers alike. In two months, I want to launch a new type of trade round in Seattle, at the WTO ministerial. I want this round to be about jobs and development. I want it to raise working conditions for all. I want it to advance our sha red goal of sustainable development. By breaking down barriers to trade, leveling the playing field, we will give more workers and farmers in those countries that are struggling for tomorrow -- and in leading industrial n ations, as well -- more opportunities to produce for the global marketplace. In Seattle, I hope we will pledge to keep cyberspace tariff-free, to help developing countries make better and wider use of technology -- whether biotechnology or the Internet. I hope we will pledge to open markets in agr iculture, and industrial products and services, creating new activities for growth and development. I hope we will also work to advance the admission of the 38 developing countries who've applied for WTO membership. And I hope we'll keep working to give the least developed countries greater access to global markets. Her e in the United States, I am working hard

Re: [CTRL] Debt Relief: Clinton
-Caveat Lector- For many developing countries, however, there is a greater obstacle in the path to progress. For many of them, excessive and completely unsustainable debt can halt progress, drag down growth, drain resources that are needed to meet the most basic human conditions, like clean water, shelter, health care and education. Debt and debt relief are normally subjects for economists. But there is nothing academic about them. Simply put, unsustainable debt is helping to keep too many poor countries and poor people in poverty. That is clearly why the Pope and so many other world leaders from all walks of life have asked us all to do more to reduce the debt of the poorest nations as a gift to the new millennium -- not just to them, but to all the rest of us, as well. Personally, I don't believe we can possibly agree to the idea that these nations that are so terribly poor should always be that way. I don't think we can, in good conscience, say we support the idea that they should choose between making interest payments on their debt and investing in their children's education. This is President Clinton talking--sounding a lot like Lyndon LaRouche, except without the derogatory comments about IMF and World Bank.

-Caveat Lector- The Bahama Islands are located east of Jupiter Island. http://bahamasnet.com/GrandBahamaIsland.html Grand Bahama is the third-largest Bahama island, about 65 miles east of Palm Beach. If you are American and a touch homesick, go to a hill in West End. Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), a subsidiary of $30-billion Hutchison Whampoa of Hong Kong and the world's largest port operator, has joined forces with the Grand Bahama Development Company to create the $78 million Freeport Container Port. Phase 11 of the joint venture involves a $72 million development of 32 acres of land in addition to its 56 acres of stacking area. When completed in August 1999, the facility will include 3,000 ft of berths, seven huge Super Post Panamax Quay Cranes, 22 straddle carriers, and a capacity to handle nearly a million TEUs a year. (TEU refers to totally enclosed unit, or a 20-ft container). The port, with a dockside depth of 51 ft, can handle the largest container ships afloat. Contiguous to the deep water container port and Freeport International Airport, the forthcoming Grand Bahama Sea/Air Business Centre (S/ABC) will include 786 acres for industrial development The airport, with an 11,000-ft runway, is capable of handling all types of aircraft. === http://bahamasnet.com/Andros.html Global bloodshed was purportedly the end result of a British sisal plantation owner's penchant for chopping down trees said to house Chickcharnie nests. The plantation subsequently failed at great financial loss to the owner, one Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain went on to become the British Prime Minister who met with Adolph Hitler in the interests of peace. He got a world war instead. Once a major producer of choice sponges, Andros today is the biggest supplier of fresh water to New Providence Island. The island is also No 1 in vegetable farming. Hand-batiked fabric known as Androsia has been the quintessential souvenir and product of Androsians since 1973. The island's name has nothing to do with the Greek island of Andros. Instead, the name is believed to recall a land grant to British men evacuated from the island of St. Andro on the African Mosquito Coast. http://bahamasnet.com/NewProvidence.html This is the island most visitors erroneously call Nassau. That's because it is the site of the nation's capital, named in 1695 for the Dutch Prince of Orange-Nassau after he took over the British throne. Since about two-thirds of the Bahama population live on the relatively small island of New Providence, it is the mouse that roars. Recent years have seen millions of dollars poured into redesigning Nassau, filling in more of the harbour to create extremely high-priced commercial property, and the total refurbishing of formerly government-owned resort/hotels. People who have not visited Nassau for a few years may not recognize it, especially the widened and spruced-up Old World-style plaza facing the 19th century Parliament buildings. These architectural gems predate the London Parliament buildings with their celebrated Big Ben clock tower. With more than 400 banks and trusts headquartered in this "Zurich of the Tropics", there is an in joke that it might sink from the weight of all its zillions of dollars, marks, pounds, rubles and francs. Actually, this offshore financial centre is more obviously a fabulous shopping bazaar with its world-famous Bay Street and side-streets marinating in a Caribbean carnival atmosphere. Historic sites abound. A million well-spent dollars went into restoration of Fort Charlotte, cited as one of the best preserved of area historic sites. There are botanical gardens, a zoo, several small museums and a full range of restaurants, clubs and cabarets. Across the busy harbour of Nassau lies Paradise Island, once the sleepy Hog Island where earlier settlers kept their farm animals to supplement an otherwise fishy diet. Today the appropriately named Paradise Island is the venue for one of the most famous beaches in the world. It is also popular with the glitterati-actor Richard Harris and an Arab sheik, who are among those with waterfront "digs" on Paradise Island, known locally as "PI" A bridge connects Nassau with its sister island, home to a huge casino, championship golf course and the relatively new Atlantis resort. The latter rises, like the magic return of ancient Atlantis, around the world's largest outdoor aquarium. Plans are afoot for a partially submerged casino. LOCATION: 185 miles southeast of Miami.

-Caveat Lector- Counting down Fred Pearce THIS MONTH, somewhere in the world--it could be in a London maternity ward, but more likely in a São Paolo favela or a Calcutta slum--the 6-billionth member of the human race will be born. The UN will officially recognise his or her birthday on 12 October. Only 12 years have passed since we hit the 5-billion mark, so the event has been greeted with portentous warnings of a "population time bomb" and a "demographic disaster". But delve behind the words of the doom-mongers, say some demographers, and you'll find evidence that in the not-too-distant future, the world population may actually start to shrink. According to this very different picture, the world's population will peak some time in the 21st century, then start falling. So while today's youth are exhorted to have fewer children, their grandchildren may be actively encouraged to go forth and multiply. "Over the past five years, fertility has declined in all major parts of the world," says one of the heretics, Wolfgang Lutz, head of population research at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Laxenburg, Austria. "All changes point to lower population forecasts." And on his most recent forecasts, the upward path of population growth, which has been accelerating ever since the Black Death killed as much as a third of Europe's population in the 14th century, will stall and go into reverse in about 70 years. The signs of a possible decline in the human population have been building for several years now. In the 1950s, women around the world had 5 children on average. Now women have just 2.7 children each. During the past decade, the annual increase in the head count has fallen from 90 million to 78 million. And in one sector of the population, absolute numbers are falling. In 1990, there were 623 million under-fives. By 1995, there were only 614 million under- fives. It could be the start of a trend that will spread right across the age spectrum. Demographers had predicted a downturn. But it is happening much faster and more widely than they anticipated. Twice in the past three years, the UN's statisticians have lowered their projections of future populations. On the second occasion, late last year, they postponed by four months the "six-billion day" and reduced their forecast of the world population in 2050 by half a billion, from 9.4 billion to 8.9 billion. The main reason for these changes is the dramatic fall in fertility rates, particularly in the developing world. Across Africa and Asia, hundreds of millions of people are confounding predictions by reducing family sizes. It used to be said that, without the Draconian imposition of birth control, only countries with rising prosperity and increasingly literate and urban populations could go through what demographers call the demographic transition--the switch to smaller families and stable populations. But in the 1990s, a number of countries have disproved this. Bangladesh, once in the world's demographic doghouse, has cut its fertility rate from 6.2 children per woman to 3.4 in a decade, thanks to contraception, and despite extreme poverty and illiteracy. Fertility rates in many African countries, though still very high, are falling fast as contraceptive use grows there as well. Lester Brown, director of the Worldwatch Institute in Washington DC and author of a new study on world population, Beyond Malthus, is well known for his apocalyptic visions of an overpopulated future. But even he concedes: "Demographers have been surprised again and again by the rapid decline in the number of children couples choose to bear throughout the world." But there is also a dark side to the population slow-down. In sub- Saharan Africa death rates are rising due to the spread of HIV. In some countries, a quarter of the adult population is infected. Last year, the US Census Bureau calculated life expectancy in Botswana had fallen from 62 years to 40 years, and in Zimbabwe from 61 to 39 (New Scientist, 17 October 1998, p 12). In one of the most eloquent testimonies to the social impact of AIDS in Africa, the UN population agency in Zimbabwe this year limited the number of funerals its staff can attend in work time to one a week. Says Brown: "Tragically, the world is divided into two parts: one where population growth is slowing as fertility falls, and one where population growth is slowing as mortality rises." The prognosis for the AIDS pandemic is unclear: in the next twenty years much will depend on how quickly science can supply affordable and effective vaccines to the developing world. However, fertility rates may be more predictable. According to the UN's population division in New York, fertility rates are now below the long-term replacement level of 2.1 in 61 countries, including most of Europe, the Caribbean and eastern Asia, including China. American women have 2 children on average, British women 1.7 and in Catholic countries such as Italy and
[CTRL] Bahamian Politics
-Caveat Lector- http://www.bahamas-real-estate.com/politics.htm History, Political Brief History of the Bahamas The Bahamas was born to become a major international resort destination, with its exquisite white and pink beaches, lush tropical landscape, unsullied waters, and year round sunshine. This archipelago, which begins just 60 miles off the Florida coast, contains more than 700 islands (approximately 20 of them inhabited) scattered across 100,000 spare miles of the Atlantic. You might call Christopher Columbus the first tourist to hit the Bahamas, although he was actually trying to find a route to the East Indies with his three ships, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Nina. Columbus is popularly believed to have made landfall in the New World on October 12, 1492, at San Salvador in the southern part of the Bahamas. Columbus liked the place enough to spend several weeks visiting the areas other islands, such as Crooked island, Rum cay, and Long island, before continuing his laborious voyage through the Caribbean. In the early part of the 16th century King Charles I claimed the Bahamas for England. Among the British settlers where a more nefarious subset of humanity, pirates and buccaneers like Edward Teach (better known as Blackbeard), Henry Morgan and Calico Jack Ruckman. Following these early pioneers were the loyal British plantation owners from the Carolinas who set up shop in the islands. There are still gracious homes today in Nassau which reflect the genteel, aristocratic life they had to abandon in the American south. Prohibition in the 1920s brought rum running from the Bahamas to a thirsty United States. In 1929 Pan American started to make daily flights from Miami to Nassau. One of the most colorful and enigmatic characters of the era came to Nassau in the 1930s. Sir Harry Oakes was a rough-and-ready Canadian who made his fortune in a gold strike. During the 40s he built the Bahamas Country Club, the Cable Beach golf course, and Nassaus first commercial airport. Tourism was fast becoming the islands most profitable industry. Political History and Current Events For more then 300 years, the country had been ruled by whites; members of the United Bahamian Party (UBP) were known as the Bay Street Boys, after Nassaus main business thorough-fare. But the voice of the overwhelming black majority was being heard in the land. In 1953, a London-educated barrister named Lynden Pindling joined the opposition Progressive Liberal Party. Pindlings magnetism kept him in power through independence from Britain in 1973. In August 1992 there came the biggest political upset since Pindling took power in 1967. The Free National Movement party headed by lawyer Hubert Ingraham was elected to make it better in the Bahamas again. The biggest news in the Bahamas today is the purchase of Paradise Island Resort and Casino by Sun International Hotels. A $125 million upgrade to the property and a planned expansion of $250 million to commence in late 1996 places Atlantis on the short list of many northern travelers. Disney is progressing with plans to develop Gorda Cay in the Abacos as a major part of their North American family marketing program. Sandals and Breezes super clubs are just completing major refurbishments to facilities on Cable Beach. These many improvements bode well for making the Bahamas the place to be. http://www.bahamas.net.bs/history/20cent.htmlhttp://www.bahamas.net.bs/histo ry/20cent.html The Bahamas in the 20th Century By the turn of the 20th century, an extraordinary mix of culture and folklore was standing shoulder to shoulder with the American rich, hungry for vacations in a warmer climate. The Bahamas benefited yet again from a regular stream of Americans. Put on the map by the American Civil War, the property boom in nearby Florida and the efforts of entrepreneurs such as Henry Flagler, The Bahamas was slowly but surely off to its start as a desirable destination. On the outbreak of World War One in 1914 however, Bahamians in their hundreds left the country to fight in Europe. Post-war depression came, and with it, another hand of good fortune - Prohibition. Soon, Nassau was a great open liquor market, with cases by the thousands freely changing hands on their way to 'Rum Row' off the Jersey coast. Many Bahamians became rich during the Prohibition. The Bahamas once again was becoming the pirate paradise of Woodes Rogers time. Liquor and gambling attracted funds, in turn used to build new hotels and clubs. The rich wintered in this paradise and despite the efforts of the US Customs, the money continued to flow. When the end came in 1933, the Bahamas once again emptied and the country's unemployed rose steadily once again. Even greater events followed - the outbreak of war in 1939. It was at this time that The Bahamas had a distinguished visitor - The Duke and Duchess of

[CTRL] Administration Concedes China Stole Our Nuclear Warhead Designs (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Cox: Administration Concedes China Stole Our Nuclear Warhead Designs Human Events interview with Congressman Cox Oct. 1, 1999 Without fanfare or publicity, the Clinton Administration has quietly admitted in writing that the Cox Committee report was correct in concluding that spies working for the Peoples Republic of China stole U.S. nuclear warhead designs. "It's not alleged, it's a fact," said Rep. Chris Cox (R.-Calif.) in an interview with the editors of Human Events. Cox, who chaired the select committee that investigated Chinese theft of U.S. weapons technology, pointed to a little-noticed National Intelligence Estimate titled Foreign Missile Developments and the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States Through 2015, which was produced with the concurrence of the entire U.S. intelligence community. The estimate was publicly released this month. "The National Intelligence Estimate that just came out has now stated that it is the judgement of the intelligence community that these new [Chinese] weapons systems will have the [U.S.] warheads information," said Cox. "The media keep saying that there's no proof that anything was really stolen, they say the Cox report is overstated." But the facts are, said Cox, that the PRC had acquired classified information about every currently deployed nuclear warhead in the U.S. arsenal. The National Intelligence Estimate, said Cox, came out and for the first time stated what we stated in our report. In fact, it stated what some had said was a worst-case analysis: that there are three new long-range weapons systems that the PLA is going to roll out in the next few years. Two of those are land-based and one of them is submarine-based. The purpose of the longest-range ICBM is to target the United States. With the JL-2 submarine-launched missile, Cox added, the PRC will be able to hit the United States from Chinese territorial waters, which is exactly what we stated in our report. In addition, these three weapons platforms will likely be fitted with miniaturized nuclear weapons influenced by stolen U.S. designs acquired through espionage. So every single piece of this is now officially the public view of the intelligence community. On Clintons Watch Cox noted that the Central Intelligence Agency chairs the committee that published the National Intelligence Estimate, but that the panel includes all U.S. intelligence agencies. Cox said that most of the security breaches perpetrated by the PRC have taken place during the Clinton years. In our report, he said, we have given either exact or approximate dates for most of the thefts. With the exception of one that is pinned down at the end of the Carter Administration and another that probably occurred during the Reagan or Bush Administrations all the rest of them, as outlined in our report, occurred during the Clinton Administration. It isnt just warheads, Cox adds. The Chinese also stole experimental wave-propagation technology that would allow them to track U.S. Trident submarines under the ocean by detecting the effect the wake of the sub makes on the surface of the water. With such technology, an enemy could neutralize what is now the only invulnerable leg of the U.S. nuclear weapons triadwhich, along with submarines, includes long-range bombers and land-based Intercontinental Missiles. When asked if he was satisfied that the Justice Department and the FBI were doing what they should to catch whoever was responsible for stealing our weapons technology, Cox said, It is impossible to know. The Justice Department did not cooperate fully with our committee, and the appendix to our report explained some of the specific ways in which they did not cooperate with our committee. But we had much better cooperation from the intelligence community and the national security community than we did from the Justice Department. The Justice Department would not share information, he said. When asked if he believed the Justice Department did not cooperate with his committee because Justice was trying to cover up the fact that it was not conducting an aggressive investigation, Cox said, I dont know, but I know the result is the same as if that were true. Whether it is gross incompetence or whether it is intentional, the results are the same. The investigations have been badly handled. By definition, if they refuse to permit any oversight, and if they husband all this information, said Cox, no one can inspect their books and records and find out what is really going on and their defense is that they made a bureaucratic mistake and they are a bungling administration. Their justification is: We arent very good at this. Please forgive us. Cox also discussed the issue of the memorandum sent last year to Atty. Gen. Janet Reno by then-Justice Department campaign finance investigation task force director Charles LaBella. In the memo, LaBella outlined the evidence that had been

[CTRL] Interior Dept. files destroyed before probe (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- It would be interesting to see how the "most ethical administration in history," defines ethical. From: http://www.capitolhillblue.com/Sept1999/093099/interior092999.htm Interior Dept. files destroyed before probe By Ben Anderson CNS Staff Writer What began as a Congressional investigation of spending abuses by the US Fish and Wildlife Service may be expanded to include obstruction of justice charges after an agency employee testified that she was ordered to destroy computer files and told that her career would be in jeopardy if she cooperated with federal investigators. The surprise testimony on Wednesday came the same day the House Resources Committee met to decide whether to subpoena Assistant Interior Department Secretary Donald Barry to find out how the Fish and Wildlife Service, a division of the Interior Department, misused federal funds. "This investigation started out as simply an inquiry into how fish and wildlife conservation funds were being spent," said Resource Committee Chairman Don Young (R-AK). "It now appears that the situation at the Fish and Wildlife Service and Department of Interior is rotten to the core." Bonnie Kline, an eight-year Fish and Wildlife Service employee, testified that her superiors ordered her not to cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other federal investigators, including the Resources Committee investigation. Kline also testified that she was instructed to destroy computer files dating from October 1997 through January 1998 - files which she said are now missing. Kline said that after refusing to destroy the files, she lost her security clearance and the combination to her safe, which stored the files, was changed. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel and a private attorney are now representing Kline against the Fish and Wildlife Service. Young reacted to Kline's testimony with a warning to any future attempts to conceal evidence from the Committee's investigation. "Any Fish and Wildlife Service or Interior Department employee who destroys any additional records will be held in Contempt of Congress and face felony charges," Young said. "Any Department of Interior official who ordered such actions will be held accountable." James Beers, a 31-year Fish and Wildlife Service employee, also testified before the Resources Committee that he was forced out of his job because he differed with his superiors at the agency over whether to approve a request for grant money for The Fund for Animals. Beers' involvement in the negotiation of an international agreement concerning humane trapping standards also contributed to his ousting, according to the US Office of Special Counsel, which is representing Beers in his legal battles. The Special Counsel represented Beers against the Fish and Wildlife Service for violations of federal personnel regulations and won a settlement of $150,000, restoration of payment for annual leave, payment of his attorney fees, and a letter of apology from the Fish and Wildlife Service for its actions against him. Kline's revelations came when the Committee met to consider allowing its investigators to subpoena Assistant Interior Secretary Donald Barry since previous attempts to compel him to testify were unsuccessful. Committee Members voted largely along party lines to subpoena Barry to force his testimony about alleged "waste, fraud and abuse" of conservation funds." The only Member to break ranks with Committee Democrats to vote for the subpoena was Rep. Owen Picket (D-VA). "Every committee in Congress with oversight responsibility must have the ability to get the information it needs to carry out its oversight duties," Picket told CNSNews.com. "This is particularly true where an entity such as GAO has provided alarming and disturbing testimony of intentional misconduct by federal government officials and the agency involved refuses to be forthcoming in its communications to the committee," Picket added. General Accounting Office Associate Director Barry Hill outlined a number of problems his investigators encountered during an eight-month investigation of the Interior Department's spending habits. Under questioning from Committee Members, Hill testified that the agency played a "shell game" with funds and that "this is one of the worst managed programs we have encountered." Young has become increasingly frustrated with Barry's reluctance to appear before the committee and suggested Barry is manipulating his travel schedule to avoid testifying. "We will not allow him to hide from this investigation," Young said. "He's known about this hearing for more than two months and his efforts to create a travel schedule
[CTRL] U.S. Says Labor Union Leader Will Resign and Admit Fraud (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- October 1, 1999--NYTimes U.S. Says Labor Union Leader Will Resign and Admit Fraud By STEVEN GREENHOUSE Arthur Coia, the president of the laborers' union, one of the nation's largest building trades unions, has agreed to resign in October and plead guilty to fraud charges as part of a deal with federal prosecutors, government officials said on Thursday. The officials said Coia would step down in the next few weeks and would soon after plead guilty to charges involving his purchase of a $450,000 Ferrari from a supplier to the 750,000-member union, the Laborers International Union of North America. The plea agreement, one government official said, would not result in a prison term but would bar Coia from any future contacts with the union. David Roscow, a union spokesman, denied that Coia was resigning, insisting that Coia was the victim of leaks from government officials out to hurt him. "Mr. Coia is not resigning, he has not been indicted, and there is no agreement," Roscow said. "For the past four years, certain law-enforcement officials have engaged in irresponsible leaks designed to pursue their own agenda and tarnish the union and Mr. Coia." One government official said Coia might still pull out of the plea agreement out of concern that he would be stepping down under a cloud. Numerous times in the past, union officials said, Coia was about to resign in the face of possible charges, but then decided to dig in and battle the accusations against him, to help preserve his reputation. Over the last year, some aides also hinted that Coia could retire at any time because he has been fighting prostate cancer for three years, although his health has improved in recent months. The deal said to have been reached between Coia and the government follows an anti-corruption investigation that the union conducted under an earlier agreement with the government. In March, the three-year investigation cleared Coia of accusations that he had associated with members of organized crime. But at the same time, the union's hearing officer, Peter Vaira, fined Coia $100,000 for a conflict of interest over the purchase of the Ferrari. The union's in-house prosecutor, Robert D. Luskin, discovered that Coia had bought the sports car with the help of a Rhode Island company that leased cars to the union. Luskin found that Coia bought the car while the car-leasing company continued to hold the title, letting Coia avoid more than $40,000 in luxury taxes. This also enabled Coia to resell the Ferrari, a limited edition model, as a new vehicle three years later. When Vaira fined Coia, the laborers' in-house investigators turned over evidence about the car purchase to the U.S. attorney's office in Boston. Coia has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing regarding the car. Samantha Martin, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney in Boston, declined to comment on Thursday. Luskin also declined to comment about Coia's plea deal, which was reported on Thursday by The Daily Labor Report published by the Bureau of National Affairs, a private research group in Washington. Coia's father, Arthur E. Coia, was secretary-treasurer of the union, which used to be considered one of the nation's most corrupt. Prosecutors say the elder Coia associated closely with Raymond Patriarca Jr., New England's long-time crime boss. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] AIDS pandemic seen worsening next century
-Caveat Lector- Thursday September 30, 2:48 AM http://uk.news.yahoo.com/990930/1/8m8g.html AIDS pandemic seen worsening next century BOSTON, Sept 29 - Unless the search for a cure for AIDS accelerates or preventive methods improve, the worst of the HIV epidemic has yet to come, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases predicted Wednesday. Dr. Anthony Fauci, writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, said "what began as a handful of recognized cases among homosexual men in the United States has become a global pandemic of such proportions that it clearly ranks as one of the most destructive microbial scourges in history." "Unless methods of prevention, with or without a vaccine, are successful, the worst of the global pandemic will occur in the 21st century," he said. In the United States, the number of new HIV cases each year has leveled off at 40,000 people, half of them under 25. However, the number of new cases elsewhere is growing at an alarming rate. "Sub-Saharan Africa (is) currently bearing the greatest burden of the epidemic worldwide," Fauci said. The infection rate in the former Soviet Union "has escalated sharply over the past few years" and the virus threatened to invade the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. "An estimated 5.8 million new HIV infections occurred worldwide during 1998 -- approximately 16,000 each day. More than 95 percent of these new infections occurred in developing countries," he said. Some 2.3 million people worldwide died last year from contracting the human immunodeficiency virus which leads to acquired immune deficiency syndrome. "If the current trend... continues, more than 40 million people will be infected with HIV as we enter the new millennium," Fauci said. He said "minimizing the destructive impact of this epidemic will require partnerships between the public and private sectors as well as a stronger political will among the nations of the world."
