[CTRL] Options In Health Care -- Emergency Alert! PLEASE HELP
If you are interested in the right to make your own decisions about your healthcare options, this might be a good time to begin to take a stand. It's time that the large number of Americans who are disenchanted with government malfeasance in favor of large pharmaceutical firms make themselves heard. We cannot afford to remain silent while alternative medical researchers are rounded up and jailed, and while herbs and other simple, inexpensive and safe alternatives are suppressed or even criminalized in order to safeguard the profits of Monsanto, Searle, Ciba, Novartis, and other purveyors of poisons biotech/biowar. Pressure is being brought to bear in many arenas of government.

PLEASE HELPWhat constitutes healing? Who is deciding what constitutes healing and what are they basing their decisions on?70 year old Dr. Hulda Clark, Ph.D., N.D. has been arrested and is being held in a facility in San Diego, CA, awaiting extradition to Brown County, Indiana. She has been charged with practicing medicine without a license by the District Attorney's office of her former place of residence. Dr. Clark, best known for her books The Cure For All Cancers and The Cure For All Diseases, as well as for her invention of the "Zapper," has been a public figure intently dedicated to spreading knowledge of healing techniques, and going against conventional medicine's monopoly on health care. Her arrest is an example and a warning to all Americans of the problem we collectively face: a health care system with few real options for treatment, fueled by greed, and fraught with criminality. There is substantial indication of possible systematic suppression of alternative therapies that threaten the interests of conventional medicine. There is an underground railroad of people in this country who have dedicated their lives to health and healing, and to the fight for freedom for real options in health care. Increasingly, these people who are in truth trying to help people, are being persecuted by a system which arbitrarily decides what is effective and legal treatment. These decisions often seem to be based on what is clearly profitable, as in pharmaceutical companies and their drugs, rather than what may be the most beneficial. (*Indiana law states effectiveness of treatments is not a defense. Does this help the public?*)More and more people in this country are becoming highly disillusioned with our health care system, and for very valid reasons. It is not enough to await slow and cumbersome legislation on the national level, which is unlikely to address the real issues. Dr. Clark's troubles represent but a small part of a gross problem in this country, and bring us to a higher platform. It is time to ask the most pertinent questions.What constitutes healing? Who is deciding what constitutes healing and what are they basing their decisions on? Why do we have so few real options in health care? Why are people who are going against the grain, and trying to establish footing in alternative rather than conventional medicine, more and more often finding themselves in trouble? Why are herbal supplement companies faced with regulation by the FDA that puts a stranglehold on their industry? Why are people who are selling health products on the Internet increasingly being investigated?What organizations are being formed by our government to enforce strict, impossible and arbitrary regulations, and to ensure a monopoly on health care? (If you have any information regarding this issue please write ASAP). WE NEED YOUR HELP. If you are familiar with Dr. Clark's work, and would like to support us in her defense, the following are ways in which you can help.1) We will need as many letters and phone calls as possible. If her research has benefited your health, please help us by sharing this information. Addresses and phone numbers to follow in second post.2) There is going to be a hearing for her on Monday morning in San Diego. We are asking everyone who wants to support Dr. Clark, and is able, to come to the courthouse at 220 W. Broadway, downtown San Diego, 2nd floor, Department 12, 8:35am Monday October 4. Please join in the fight for freedom in health care!If you feel you are being unfairly attacked or investigated for your work in health care, and are willing to share your story, please write. If you have any information or evidence suggesting unethical connections between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies, please write.

[CTRL] Hemp birdseed bust Customs under pressure, acted on phony info from DEA
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart ARTICLE: For the Birds: Hemp seed bust infuriates locals AUTHOR: Janet Wells, Sonoma County Independent, Vol. 21, No. 19 DATE: Friday, 1 October 1999, at 10:15 a.m. Kevin Roth, the executive chef at the Coup Restaurant in New York, says, "Hemp seed-crusted tuna is our best selling dish. To say that were serving a controlled substance is outlandish. Pubdate: Sept. 30-Oct. 6, 1999 - Sebastopol-based Nutiva, which brokers and distributors imported hemp products used for a booming consumer market, is reeling from a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency seizure of a tractor-trailer full of Canadian hemp seed. In addition to the August seizure of sterilized grain on its way to a U.S. Company that sells bird seed blends, the DEA demanded that the Canadian supplier, Kenex, recall previous hemp products or pay more than $500,000 in fines. Sterilized hemp seed, says Nutiva president John Roulac, is heated to 212 degrees for at least 15 minutes, so the seeds will not germinate. "It's a legal product, he says. "The 1937 tax act exempts sterilized [hemp] seed, oil, or meal. While it is illegal to grow hemp in the United States because it contains trace amounts of the federally controlled drug in marijuana, the DEA has provided no legal basis for confiscation of the imported load, says Roulac. Despite support from legislators, including Virginia Strom-Martin, whose bill to legalize industrial hemp recently was approved by the California State Assembly, Roulac has had to lay off one employee and cut back on hours in response to what he calls "intimidation of Canada's largest hemp processor. "They are trying to cut off the raw material supply, he says. "If they can intimidate and shut down the biggest player, the other companies will be intimidated. One of Roulac's customers, Kevin Roth, the executive chef at the Coup Restaurant in New York, says, "Hemp seed-crusted tuna is our best selling dish. To say that we're serving a controlled substance is outlandish. U.S. Customs Department spokesman Dean Boyd says that customs inspectors in Detroit called the DEA about the hemp seed after looking at the shipment's paperwork, and were instructed to seize the load. "By doing our job we've walked into a political minefield, says a beleaguered-sounding Boyd. "You wouldn't believe the calls we're getting on this. Our role was based on the legal advice provided by the DEA. We're obligated to hold it. It' costing us a lot to keep 39,000 pounds of birdseed. ARTICLE: Hemp Bar Company under Gun from DEA AUTHOR: Matt Weiser, Press Democrat DATE: Friday, 1 October 1999, at 10:27 a.m. "This is coming right at a time when our sales are exploding,'' said John Roulac, president of Nutiva. "You can't get high on hemp seeds. People are buying our bar because it tastes great and because of the nutritional benefits.'' Pubdate: Sep. 30, 1999 Sebastopol Firm Fighting Fed Order A Sebastopol company must forfeit its inventory of hemp-based food products after it was found to contain traces of the active ingredient in marijuana, federal drug enforcement agents said Wednesday. Sebastopol-based Nutiva says it was on the verge of runaway success with its new hemp-seed-based nutrition bar, a rival for the likes of Powerbar and other snack foods. It had hoped to capitalize on growing public interest in the health benefits of hemp, driven in part by a burgeoning hemp products industry that is largely based in Sonoma County. But now the company is struggling to fend off the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, which has recently focused on the growing trade in hemp seeds for food and health products. "This is coming right at a time when our sales are exploding,'' said John Roulac, president of Nutiva. "You can't get high on hemp seeds. People are buying our bar because it tastes great and because of the nutritional benefits.'' The Nutiva bar is made in Canada using hemp seeds produced by Kenex Ltd., an Ontario firm that bills itself as North America's leading supplier of industrial hemp products. On Aug. 9, a shipment of Kenex hemp goods was seized in Detroit by U.S. Customs officials, who determined from shipping manifests that the goods did not meet America's zero-tolerance policy for tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the euphoria producing active ingredient in marijuana, hemp's botanical cousin. THC is a controlled substance under U.S. law and is not allowed in commercial products. The Kenex shipment contained less than 10 parts per million of THC, the allowable limit under Canadian law and an amount the industry says could never produce a marijuana-like "high.'' Nutiva, the broker and importer for Kenex products in the western United States, says nutrition bars made from Kenex seeds are the

[CTRL] A POWERFUL ANTI DRUG WAR ORGANIZATION IN MINNESOTA
Title: War on "Drugs" http://www.gzmn.org/v011.htm Dave Hartleyhttp://www.Asheville-Computer.comhttp://www.ioa.com/~davehart War on "Drugs" GROUNDZERO MINNESOTA HOMEPAGE CAUSES OF WAR PEACE EFFORTS AGENCIES ENVIRONMENT ENERGY OTHER RESOURCES US GOVERNMENT DATA ECONOMICS ASSASSINATIONS CONSPIRACIES MIND CONTROL RESEARCH CIVIL LIBERTIES, USA HUMAN RIGHTS, GLOBAL WAR ON DRUGS "RETHINKING THE WORLD" VIDEOS GROUNDZERO MINNESOTA HOMEPAGE War on "Drugs" The war on "drugs" is really a war on people who use drugs, mainly poor people, and on civil liberties precious to almost everyone. This distinction has profound and complex consequences. This war is a well intentioned war in many respects, prompted by obvious and usually legitimate fears about urban decay and social distress. But the casualties of this war have been profound; they number in the tens of millions of lives destroyed or gravely damaged even for a relatively benign drug like marijuana. And like every war, there comes a time to call it off. Many studies have shown that the main reason for the explosion in the American prison populations is incarceration of non-violent drug offenders. This has some profound racial and class dimensions. For example, 1/3 of young black males in America today are under some kind of judicial supervision, either prison or parole or court mandated treatment or sanctions of various kinds. No one objects when a murderer is caught and jailed, but the fact is that many of those young men of various colors have had their lives ruined by vigorous application of the War on "Drugs," while the mostly wealthy and mostly white higher level dealers very seldom get caught, or if caught, get prison time. The bankers who launder the money, the accountants who keep the books, and the lawyers who advise them almost never "do time" for "their crimes." Consider the extraordinary and bizarre dynamics which occur when you look at the details. For example, Federal penalties for 5 grams of crack cocaine (mandatory minimum sentence = 5 years) are essentially 100 times more severe that for powder cocaine (where 500 grams are required to get the mandatory minimum 5 years jail). Thus, rich, well connected white wholesalers can bring in pound quantities of cocaine powder, yet be at far less risk of criminal sanction than the poor young black retailers who are asked to "rock it up" into crack cocaine. Our book On the Causes of War has a short chapter devoted just to the War on "Drugs" because its consequences are so profound, yet so insidious due to the general appreciation for the bad things drugs can certainly lead to, and lack of appreciation for how much of the violence associated with drugs is a byproduct of making them so illegal. For another example, the Attorney General of Colombia has remarked that the war on "drugs" in America kills thousands of people in his country every year, due to its weird distortions and hypocrisies (of which CIA drug running is merely the most obvious). There are many good reasons to fear drugs, especially given the dozens of varieties which modern times bring us. But ... There are also many better ways to fight violent crime, than by criminalizing scores of millions of non-violent people by a swarm of dietary laws, and indirectly making many potential witnesses to murder, rape and other violent assaults afraid to testify due to their own vulnerability to prosecution because of drugs. Retaliation from gangs is fearful enough for many witnesses, without the added disincentive of risking all should police or prosecutors turn against you. The international consequences of the War on "Drugs" may be as profound as any American national consequences. By criminalizing this consentual behavior, and insisting that other countries do the same, America provides about a $500 billion dollar per year annual windfall profit to the "narco-trafickers." They have close connections to the international market in weapons, and both have close connections to the banks which service this underground part of the "global economy." The result is close connections to many more overt wars, and to corruption of governance on a global
[CTRL] Nixon declared war on drugs, cancer...
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart http://www.canceranswer.com/chemotherapyreport.htm In 1971 Richard Nixon announced the War on Cancer, and promised a cure by the 1977 bicentennial. In each of the 25 years since, more Americans have died of cancer than the year before. http://www.canceranswer.com/ralphmoss.htm We have had 50 years of American Cancer Society (ACS) brainwashing on the question of cancer, so most people out there believe we are making progress in the war on cancer. We are not, we are losing the war. Twenty years ago I was hired at Memorial Sloane Kettering (MSK) cancer centre in New York as the science writer, later promoted to assistant director of public affairs. Shortly after I went to work there I went to visit an elderly Japanese scientist, Kanematsu Sugiura, who astonished me when he told me he was working on Laetrile (B17), at the time it was the most controversial thing in cancer, reputed to be a cure for cancer. We in public affairs were giving out statements that Laetrile was worthless, it was quackery, and people should not abandon proven therapies. I was astonished that our most distinguished scientist would be bothering with something like this, and I said why are you doing this if it does not work. He took down lab books and showed me that in fact Laetrile is dramatically effective in stopping the spread of cancer. The animals were genetically programmed to get breast cancer and about 80 - 90% of them normally get spread of the cancer from the breast to the lungs which is a common route in humans, also for how people die of breast cancer, and instead when they gave the animals Laetrile by injection only 10-20% of them got lung metasteses. And these facts were verified by many people, including the pathology department. LL: So this is verified, that Laetrile can have this positive effect? RM: We were finding this and yet we in public affairs were told to issue statements to the exact opposite of what we were finding scientifically, and as the years went by I got more wrapped up in this thing and 3 years later I said all this in my own press conference, and was fired the next day, "for failing to carry out his most basic job responsibility" -- ie to lie to the public what goes on in cancer research. You better not smoke and then most of the lung cancer won't happen, but that is one example of how the tobacco industry has infiltrated the medical establishment. The bigger thing is the industrial interests. If you look at the board of MSK you will find the who's who of the petro- chemical industry. Why are they there? Again, very little research is done on the effect of chemicals in causing cancer. We know that is probably one of the main things that causes cancer -- petro-chemical pollution. But that is denied. Of course it's denied, because the people who are paying the bill and directing cancer research have a vested interest in keeping the scientists away from that area, and keeping them focused on DRUG cures, things that can be patented, marketed and so forth, and the FDA is in total collusion in this. LL: If there was an even playing field some of the alternative therapies would shine. RM: The Japanese are not afraid to look at things that are non-toxic. Here we will look at natural things as long as they are more toxic than chemotherapy. We don't want any competition. It would be unfair competition to have a less toxic drug than chemotherapy because everyone would then flock to the less toxic drug. LL: What is really sick is the industry leaders value their bottom line more than the well being and life of people. RM: Yes, because we have set up a situation where it costs hundreds of millions of dollars for a new drug. Once you have got a situation like that you have got to have a patent on the drug. LL: We know that natural substances cannot be patented. RM: If you want to change it, you change the law that establishes the need for double blind clinical studies in drugs. You eliminate the efficacy clause from the Harris amendment to the food and drug act, which Harris himself didn't even want. This was imposed by the FDA and the drug industry. This upped the ante and made a regulatory barrier. Now instead of it taking 1 million dollars to establish the safety of a drug, you now need 300 million dollars. So none of the small inventors, or the people with good ideas can ever hope to possibly hope to get their drugs approved. They put you in administrative limbo where the best you ever hope to get is this backburner simmering kind of thing, and I know of a number of good scientists who have got IND's (Investigative New Drug Applications) to test drugs, but when you try to market the drug they will put you out of business, and Dr.

This event will crown a decade of preparation to launch the new millennium on a new system of global governance. The blueprint was published by the Commission on Global Governance in 1995. Now, a Charter to achieve global governance has been developed for presentation at the Millennium Assembly next September. It will be published publicly on UN day, October 24th. It is called The Charter for Global Democracy. It has already been signed by influential leaders in 56 nations, and has the support of civil society non-government organizations around the world. The document is, in reality, a Charter for the abolition of individual freedom. The first of 12 principles calls for the consolidation of all international agencies under the direct authority of the United Nations. The second principle calls for regulation by the UN of all transnational corporations and financial institutions, requiring an "international code of conduct" concerning the environment and labor standards. Principle number 3 demands an independent source of revenue for the UN, such as the "Tobin tax" and taxes on aircraft and shipping fuels, and licensing the use of the global commons. The "global commons" is defined to be "outer space, the atmosphere, non-territorial seas, and the related environment that supports human life." Number 4 would eliminate the veto power and permanent member status on the Security Council. Number 5 would authorize a standing UN army. Number 6 would require UN registration of all arms and the reduction of all national armies "as part of a multilateral global security system" under the authority of the United Nations. Principle number 7 would require individual and national compliance with all UN "Human Rights" treaties and declarations. Number 8 would activate the International Criminal Court, make the International Court of Justice compulsory for all nations, and give individuals the right to petition the courts to remedy social injustice. Principle 9 calls for a new institution to establish economic and environmental security by insuring "sustainable development." Number 10 calls for the establishment of an International Environmental Court. Number 11 calls for a declaration that climate change is an essential global security interest that requires the creation of a "high-level action team" to allocate carbon emission based on equal per-capita rights. Principle number 12 calls for the cancellation of all debt owed by the poorest nations, global poverty reductions, and for "equitable sharing of global resources," as allocated by the United Nations. As preposterous as these ideas may sound to freedom-loving Americans, most of the world considers them to be an improvement over their current circumstance. The fuel that fires the global governance movement, however, is not the desires of oppressed people, it is the money supplied by the well-to-do elite who feel the need to "do something" to help the less fortunate people of the world. The strategy for advancing the movement is supplied by those who expect to control the machinery of global governance. It is no coincidence that financial contributions in support of the Charter for Global Democracy are to be made to the London office of United Nations Association. Dozens of documents, all promoting some form of world government, have been circulating for most of this decade. All contain these same principles. The Millennium Assembly will receive these documents and meld them into the legal instruments required to modify the existing UN Charter. It will take a year or two for the legal documents to be prepared and adopted, and another year or two for ratification. The world is truly standing at the threshold of world government. Woodrow Wilson brought the world to the same threshold nearly 80 years ago; the United States decided not to enter, and the League of Nations collapsed. Once again, it is up to the United States to determine the future of the world. If the United States embraces this Charter for Global Democracy, the world will be subjected to global dominance by the United Nations. If the United States opts out, the world may be spared centuries of inevitable oppression. There is no issue of greater importance in next year's election than where each candidate stands on global governance and national sovereignty. So far, this issue

-Caveat Lector- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - SNETNEWS Mailing List Dear Citizens, Patriots, Veterans, et al: This post is a very important one mainly because the New World Order elite would-be, wanna-be total-world rulers have finally advanced their plans so far forward that they are just now acknowledging publically on a nationwide-worldwide prime-time five episode television mini-series that the federal, state, county, and city governments are preparing for horrifically devastating biological warfare attacks against up to 120 major cities in the United States of America. Why, Clinton even had the feds pick out the cities and has published and publicized the names of these cities for all of the world to see as being the most populated or most militarily strategically oriented cities in the U.S. It's like Clinton is saying: "Hey, all you numbskull international terrorists, you-all come here and blow up or attack THESE cities, won't'cha please?" Why? Well, because Clinton is just itching for an excuse to declare a national emergency and to invoke martial law and to suspend the Constitution of the United States, thereby removing all protections and rights from us citizens. Then he can fulfill his purpose and objective set out beforehand by his NWO puppet-masters and immediately plunge us into the elites' much sought after totalitarian New World Order. Clinton has been attempting for the past six years to provoke middle eastern international terrorists into attacking the citizens of America with NBC or Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical warfare and weapons of mass destruction by (Clinton) pummelling the middle eastern Islamic sovereign nations with violent attacks from U.S. military Cruise-Tomahawk radioactive spent-uranium warheaded missiles. Then he has had his "spin-masters" cry out plaintiffly "Oh, no! If we attack the Islamic Terrorists, then they will send out their international terrorists to attack the good citizens of these United States in retaliation. Notice how they NEVER, NEVER mention attacking the government officials, but ONLY the innocent citizens??? To their credit, the Islamics have NOT responded to Clinton's provocative overatures and WAR CRIME ACTS, so that is why Clinton (the U.S. puppet of the cannibal-300 Builderberger ghouls, New World Order wanna-be world rulers) is presently training new FBI-CIA-NSA MK-Ultra Mind Control automaton-assassins to perpetrate these NBC Biological attacks against us citizens in the very near future. Don'tcha know that that is why the feds have been merely practicing and learning how to commit gorey and the most horrible and heinous acts of violence against our nation's children by training "Manchurian Candidate" style MK Ultra Mind Control assassins to blast their brains and hearts out with bullets from guns? Why? Well, if Clinton can "feel our pain" when he slaughters our life's blood, our very own flesh and blood, posterity, our very children whom we will pass on our heritage, then he can get us riled up enough to accept his gracious offer to elimate all guns and to take them away from us citizens. What he realizes is that We the People would NOT ratify the U.S. Constitution UNLESS the Bill of Rights containing the first Ten Amendments was included for protection of the people against an evil government. Hey, remember? We had just fought a bloody two-year war with another evil totalitarian ruler - King George the Third and we certainly did not want to face that aspect again. So that is why the Second Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights - to ARM all citizens to be able to fight off an evil government. This is why for the past three years, to all of my (USCMike1's 33,223+) personal e-mail readers, scores of other Christian U.S. Constitutional Patriots like and including myself, we have been trying to warn the public about these evil plans but most people refuse to not only not believe our warnings but won't even listen and don't even care. So, here it is now, ladies and gentlemen, finally the much beloved "believable" "mainstream press" is bludgeoning us all upon our heads warning us and preparing us for what they are going to do to us. They KNOW that most people will not believe any of it but, they want us to know, so then afterward, they can tell us "See, we told you so" and that way they can feel justified in going ahead and "nuking" us with their NBC agents - cuz they warned us ahead of time. Why? Very simple, they want to reduce the population of the United States and the entire world first by 25%, then 50%, then 75%, and finally to end up with only 5% of the current world's population. Why? Because they too have some infinitesimal "faith" in the Holy Bible and want to create all by themselves an "everlasting" "paradise-on-earth" ONLY for the MASTER-RACE populated only by a small remnant of the current

He was smiling, shaking hands and socializing with reporters Friday night during the annual picnic for members of the White House press corps when a guest asked, "When are you going to have your next formal press conference, Mr. President?" President Clinton kept shaking hands and after a few moments said: "I don't know. I'll have one." The reporter, Paul Sperry, Washington bureau chief of Investor's Business Daily, asked, "When?" The president replied, "Why?" Sperry: "The American people have a lot of questions about illegal money from China and the campaign-finance scandal." Suddenly, the president's mood changed, his face turned red and he launched into an argument that lasted nearly 10 minutes as he defended himself and the Democratic Party against allegations of Chinese attempts to influence the 1996 U.S. presidential election. During the extraordinary exchange, Clinton suggested that Republicans were hypocrites on the subject of campaign-finance violations. He complained about the length and cost of the investigation and suggested that the FBI would prefer that the news media report on political funding irregularities rather than questions about the April 19, 1993, federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. "We've spent $4 million and gave the (campaign-finance) task force millions of records and every shred of evidence, and they haven't found a thing," Clinton told Sperry. Sperry replied that FBI agents who testified before Congress this month raised serious allegations of Department of Justice stonewalling on the campaign-finance matter and reminded him that FBI Director Louis Freeh thought enough evidence existed to call for an independent counsel. At that, Clinton laughed and said, "Yeah, the FBI wants you to write about that rather than write about Waco." President Clinton and the FBI have been at odds during the investigation of allegations that China attempted to make illegal donations to Democrats in 1996, but the comment marks one of the first times Clinton has publicly expressed this level of exasperation over the nation's chief law-enforcement agency. `Pretty peculiar' Brookings Institution presidential scholar Stephen Hess said he found the president's anger unusual, given that Clinton has survived a series of political storms, investigations and attacks on his presidency. "The idea that the president is acting as if the FBI is some kind of independent operation that is outside the executive branch of government and is trying to do him in is pretty fascinating," Hess said. "It is very peculiar that this guy would have gotten under his skin in this way, that he would have answered him in this nondiplomatic manner when he could have just pushed him down the receiving line. It is not typical. He has this temper, and it flares up from time to time, but not that often." American Enterprise Institute political scientist Norm Ornstein said that given the recent testimony of FBI agents regarding the handling of the campaign-finance probe and the earlier memo, the president's reaction could have been anticipated. "What the FBI agents did was naturally going to get a tremendous amount of antagonism in return from the Justice Department officials and the White House," Ornstein said. On the Waco issue, Clinton has publicly backed Attorney General Janet Reno but has remained cool toward the FBI - which is part of the Justice Department - after recent revelations that FBI officials might have misled Reno and Congress about federal agents' actions during the Branch Davidian siege. `Ready to engage' White House spokesman Mike Hammer, who was too far away to hear the conversation, said the president has in recent months made himself more accessible to reporters. "We've had several press conference, and he is planning to be having another fairly soon," Hammer said yesterday. "The president is always ready to engage, as he did last night." Clinton began his response to Sperry by saying that Republicans were as sullied as Democrats by campaign-finance allegations. "You want to know the only person who has been linked to money from China? Haley Barbour and the RNC, that's who," he said. He apparently was referring to allegations by former Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung, who told

Horror and shame are compounded by the fact that the crimes are so familiar and could so easily have been terminated. That has been true ever since Indonesia invaded in December 1975, relying on U.S. diplomatic support and arms -- used illegally, but with secret authorization, even new arms shipments sent under the cover of an official "embargo." There has been no need to threaten bombing or even sanctions. It would have sufficed for the U.S. and its allies to withdraw their active participation, and to inform their close associates in the Indonesian military command that the atrocities must be terminated and the territory granted the right of self-determination that has been upheld by the United Nations and the International Court of Justice. We cannot undo the past, but should at least be willing to recognize what we have done, and to face the moral responsibility of saving the remnants and providing ample reparations, a pathetic gesture of compensation for terrible crimes. The latest chapter in this painful story of betrayal and complicity opened right after the referendum of Aug. 30, 1999, when the population voted overwhelmingly for independence. At once, atrocities mounted sharply, organized and directed by the Indonesian military (TNI). The UN Mission (UNAMET) gave its appraisal on September 11: The evidence for a direct link between the militia and the military is beyond any dispute and has been overwhelmingly documented by UNAMET over the last four months. But the scale and thoroughness of the destruction of East Timor in the past week has demonstrated a new level of open participation of the military in the implementation of what was previously a more veiled operation. The Mission warned that "the worst may be yet to come It cannot be ruled out that these are the first stages of a genocidal campaign to stamp out the East Timorese problem by force." Indonesia historian John Roosa, an official observer of the vote, described the situation starkly: "Given that the pogrom was so predictable, it was easily preventable... But in the weeks before the ballot, the Clinton Administration refused to discuss with Australia and other countries the formation of [an international force]. Even after the violence erupted, the Administration dithered for days," until compelled by international (primarily Australian) and domestic pressure to make some timid gestures. Even these ambiguous messages sufficed to induce the Indonesian generals to reverse course and to accept an international presence, illustrating the latent power that has always been at hand. The same power relations ensure that the UN can do nothing without Washington consent and initiative. While Clinton "dithers," almost half the population has been expelled from their homes according to UN estimates, and thousands murdered. The Air Force that was able to carry out pin-point destruction of civilian targets in Novi Sad, Belgrade, and Ponceva lacks the capacity to drop food to people facing starvation in the mountains to which they have been driven by the terror of the TNI forces armed and trained by the United States, and its no less cynical allies. The recent events will evoke bitter memories among those who do not prefer "intentional ignorance." We are witnessing a shameful replay of events of 20 years ago. After carrying out a huge slaughter in 1977-78 with the decisive support of the Carter Administration, Indonesia felt confident enough to permit a brief visit by members of the Jakarta diplomatic corps, among them U.S. Ambassador Edward Masters. They recognized that an enormous humanitarian catastrophe had been created. The aftermath was described by Benedict Anderson, one of the most distinguished Indonesia scholars. "For nine long months" of starvation and terror, Anderson testified at the United Nations, "Ambassador Masters deliberately refrained, even within the walls of the State Department, from proposing humanitarian aid to East Timor," waiting "until the generals in Jakarta gave him the green light" -- until they felt "secure enough to permit foreign visitors," as an internal State Department document recorded. Only then did Washington consider taking some steps to deal with the consequences of its actions. As TNI forces and their paramilitaries

The figures released on Sunday by Iraqi Health Ministry showed that 7,632 Iraqi children aged below five died of diarrhea, pneumonia and respiratory infections and malnutrition last month, while only 302 children died in the same month in 1989. And 2,555 elderly people died of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and malignant neoplasms last month, compared to 480 deaths registered in August 1989. The U.N. imposed harsh economic sanctions on Iraq in August 1990 following its invasion of Kuwait, which touched off the 1991 Gulf War. The figures show that a total of over 1.18 million Iraqis, most of them children, have died of various curable diseases and malnutrition since the imposition of the U.N. sanctions till last August.

[CTRL] Fwd: Leave Party, Reform Chairman Tells Ventura
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! October 2, 1999 Leave Party, Reform Chairman Tells Ventura Ventura Related Article Ventura Says Religion Is For 'Weak' (Oct. 1, 1999) 1999) By MIKE ALLEN he Reform Party's lame-duck chairman demanded on Friday that Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura resign from the party because of his assertion in Playboy magazine that "organized religion is a sham and a crutch." The governor's official response, as spelled by his spokesman, was a smiling, "P!" In the November issue of Playboy, Ventura declared that organized religion "tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business." The party chairman, Russell Verney, faxed a letter to Ventura, the party's only major electoral success story, saying his comments "about religion, sexual assault, overweight people, drugs, prostitution, women's undergarments and many other subjects do not represent the values, principles or ethics upon which this party was built." "You have brought shame to yourself and disgrace to the members of the Reform Party," Verney wrote. "For the good of the members, you should resign now from the Reform Party of the United States of America." Verney said in a telephone interview that he would meet with party leaders early next week to decide whether to try to force Ventura to stop using the Reform Party as his party identification. Verney said members had lodged thousands of fax, e-mail and telephone complaints about the Playboy comments. Nevertheless, Verney's move is sure to antagonize the many party members who regard Ventura as the party's best hope for becoming a permanent force in national politics. Verney is a longtime aide to Ross Perot, who is believed by many party leaders to be encouraging Pat Buchanan to switch from the Republican Party to the Reform Party, forcing Ventura to share the spotlight. At the party's national convention in July, members elected a new chairman, John Gargan, who had been endorsed by Ventura. Gargan had hoped to assume the duties before the official transition on Jan. 1, but Verney has refused. The party's presidential nominee will qualify for $13 million in Federal funds, and many leaders say the party's constant infighting leaves it open to a coup by a well-organized outsider. Verney said that before sending his fax, he called Ventura's office and was told he could expect a response in "two to three months." Ventura, according to aides, read the fax, then smiled, shook his head and went home for the weekend. **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

"I would like to express the deep regret of the people of Indonesia for the loss of life caused by events in East Timor," Minister of State for finance Boediono (eds: one name) told ministers and central bank governors at the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank. "Let me reaffirm that the government of Indonesia is committed to taking the steps necessary to enable the fulfillment of the newly-expressed will of the majority of East Timorese to seek a new destiny outside Indonesia." Boediono also said that Indonesia's economic restructuring had been "paralysed" by a banking scandal but that "given half a chance" the economic recovery could get back on track. The IMF is currently holding back funds to cash-strapped Indonesia, but managing director Michel Camdessus said earlier Tuesday that "we stand ready to resume our assistance as soon as the shadows hanging over the programme are lifted." The finance minister of Portugal, East Timor's former colonial power, issued an impassioned plea Tuesday for the international community to "take firm action to restore peace, provide emergency aid and contribute to the reconstruction needs of this devastated territory and people." If this was not forthcoming in the wake of the "genocide" in East Timor, "words like democracy, human rights, law and order, social and economic development, would become quite empty," Antonio de Sousa Franco told the IMF/World Bank meeting. Camdessus said last week that resumption of aid depended on developments in East Timor and resolution of the Bank Bali scandal. The scandal centers on the payment of an 80 million dollar commission by the bank to a company owned by a ruling Golkar party executive. The bank paid the commission to recover money owed by three banks that had been closed down by the government. Boediono said that the Indonesian economy is now "in far better shape" than it was a year ago, but "uncertainties remain" because of the bank scandal, the East Timor situation and "rising political temperature" ahead of presidential elections in November. He said the government regarded the bank scandal as a "very serious matter" that would be resolved in a complete and transparent manner "which will meet the public's expectations." After the presidential elections Boediono said he hoped Indonesia's restructuring and economic recovery would "regain momentum." Camdessus said that the IMF "expect(s) to continue working with the next government of Indonesia to do our part in helping the country achieve its great potential," and "look forward to contributing, when the day comes, to the rebuilding and sustainable development of East Timor." The international community is already looking ahead to the reconstruction of East Timor once peace has been restored, and potential donors will meet informally here on Wednesday with East Timor independence leaders Xanana Gusmao and Jose Ramos Horta to discuss likely future aid needs and priorities, World Bank officials said. The meeting will be attended by representatives of Asian countries, industrial nations and international financial institutions. ** 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.

Below are three articles that highlight the issues.

According to a new report released with a statement signed by more than 100 conservation groups around the world, forests should not be sacrificed blindly to the goal of free trade. The so-called "Global Free-Logging Agreement" should not be pursued until the environmental effects of existing trade rules and the new proposals have been fully reviewed and modified to protect forests. "Our Forests at Risk: The World Trade Organization's Threat to Forest Protection" spells out in sobering detail the likely consequences of what forest advocates call the "Global Free- Logging Agreement." The 32-page report was co-authored by Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund and Northwest Ecosystem Alliance, in collaboration with American Lands Alliance, Asia Pacific Environmental Exchange, International Forum on Globalization, Pacific Crest Biodiversity, and Pacific Environment and Resource Center. Environmental groups say that as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) , and a key proponent of the "Global Free-Logging Agreement, " the U.S. has the ability to affect trade policy and trade rules, and that our negotiators must do a better job of maintaining U.S. environmental standards. "Our trade negotiators are pushing a plan that would undermine the forest protections that U.S. citizens fought so hard to obtain," said Patti Goldman, managing attorney for EarthJustice Legal Defense Fund and a principal author of the report. "We are urging our government to look before we leap into loosening regulations designed to protect our environment and U. S. jobs. Our government should insist on a full review and modification of the WTO rules to ensure protection of our forests before pushing forward with new proposals." According to the report released today, the "Global Free-Logging Agreement" jeopardizes forests under the cloak of free trade and exemplifies a disturbing trend in the formulation of trade rules. It would wipe out important forest protections and accelerate the destruction of forests worldwide. Some of the key threats to Northwest, and the world's, forests include: Invasive Species Safeguards: Invasive species, such as the Asian Gypsy Moth, the Asian long-horned beetle and others, are the second leading threat to forest biodiversity. The best way to prevent these bio-invasions is to stop them at the border. But trade rules have made it difficult, if not impossible, to stop deadly infestations before they spread. Raw Log Export Bans: Washington State and the U.S. have banned the export of raw logs from public lands in the Western U.S. The goal is to reduce the overall demand for logging and to enable domestic mills to benefit from the logging that is done. Trade rules prohibit such bans, and Japan is already threatening to challenge the U.S. ban. Green Procurement: Through green procurement, governments use their purchasing power to increase demand for recycled paper and decrease consumption of products from native and unsustainably managed forests. Recycled content requirements are firmly in place for federal, state and local government procurement throughout the U.S. But under WTO trade rules, such regulations can be challenged on the grounds that they discriminate against countries that log native forests. Eco-labeling and Forest Certification: Eco-labeling enables consumers to find and buy environmentally friendly products. Forest certification reveals whether forest products have been produced in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner. Under WTO rules, eco- labeling and forest certification can be challenged because they

The German government promised Washington it would keep the affair quiet, even agreeing not to officially expel the three, but allowing them to be ordered home by the U.S. government, ZDF public television said in a news release about its report, which is to air Wednesday night. The U.S. Embassy in Berlin declined to comment on the report. Domestic intelligence officials in Munich also refused to comment. In Washington, CIA officials could not be reached, and a State Department official said he had heard nothing about it. ZDF did not say what the three were allegedly working on in Germany. This was the second time that a CIA agent had been uncovered and expelled from postwar Germany, the report said. In March 1997, the German Economics Ministry confirmed that a U.S. diplomat tried to recruit one of its department chiefs to spy for Washington. Media reports at the time said the Americans were chiefly interested in getting a list of German companies that delivered high-technology supplies to Iran. A newsmagazine, Der Spiegel, estimated then that 100 U.S. intelligence agents were operating undercover in Germany. By TOM RAUM WASHINGTON (September 29, 1999 12:09 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - The CIA, not wanting to miss the boat on the Internet age or be outsmarted by tech-savvy adversaries, is teaming up with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to invest in companies developing computer technologies that could help with intelligence gathering. Forgoing its usual clandestine ways, the agency has set up its own venture capital firm - with money appropriated by Congress - with offices in Washington and Palo Alto, Calif. It will invest in promising new start-up hi-tech companies. The CIA picked a fanciful name for the new company: In-Q-It. The "In" stands for intelligence. The "It" stands for information technology. And the Q? That's the code name of the James Bond character who comes up with all the gadgets that the fictional British spy uses. "We do have a sense of humor," Central Intelligence Agency spokesman Bill Harlow said Wednesday, confirming the existence of the new company. Harlow said the venture capital company "is clearly tied to us, but they make a big point of being independent." The venture, first reported by The Washington Post and The New York Times in Wednesday's editions, was actually set up last February as a nonprofit organization. But it is just now getting organized, with its own board of directors, according to the new chief executive officer, Gilman Louie. Louie said in an interview that the company would be small, with about 20 to 25 employees, and is being started with $28 million appropriated by Congress last year as part of the classified budget for the agency. Both Louie and the CIA said the venture capital company would only work on unclassified projects. Mainly, In-Q-It will invest in some high-tech companies and form joint ventures with other ones where the companies are working on promising technological projects that could benefit the CIA. This includes ways of helping the CIA to use the Internet more effectively and securely. It also will try to find promising technologies that will help the CIA better use the information it already possesses in a variety of forms, from paper to computer files. He cited the May 7 bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia - a target picked by the CIA - as "the manifestation of the worst result that could happen if you don't have all your information lined up." Louie, 39, founded his own electronic game company - MicroProse Inc. - that was later bought by Hasbro. At Hasbro, Louie has been an executive with the toy company's online business group. He said he has no experience in espionage "and I want to keep it that way." The company's board of directors includes John Seely Brown, director of the Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center; Norm Augustine, chairman of Lockheed Martin; William Perry, the former defense secretary; and Jeong Kim of Lucent.

[CTRL] 'STAR WARS' MISSILE DEFENSE TEST SET FOR SATURDAY NIGHT
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! X DRUDGE REPORT X FRIDAY, OCTOBER 01, 1999 17:09:55 ET X 'STAR WARS' MISSILE DEFENSE TEST SET FOR SATURDAY NIGHT The Defense Department is preparing for a first test of the interceptor warhead of the planned National Missile Defense system. With the fiery liftoff of a missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base on Saturday night, the nation's missile defense program may take a large step toward becoming reality. Exact details of the planned launch are classified, but it will occur between 7 and 11 p.m. PST, it has been learned. It will be the first test flight on hardware that could begin shielding the continental United States from a missile attack by 2005. The Defense Department is examining whether a 141-pound "kill vehicle'' can locate and smash a "warhead" at a collision speed of 17,000 miles per hour. The White House will decide next summer whether to deploy an initial defensive system with 20 missiles at a site in Alaska. That decision will be based on three test shots, two of which must be successful. The LOS ANGELES TIMES is reporting in fresh editions: "In Saturday's test, an intercontinental Minuteman missile will be shot out sea from Vandenberg, north of Santa Barbara, carrying a dummy warhead. About 20 minutes after the launch, an interceptor missile will be launched from the Marshall Islands 4,300 miles from Vandenberg. If all goes as authorities hope, the interceptor will strike the dummy warhead over the Pacific." **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

As part of a regular missile testing program, a nuclear submarine submerged in the Sea of Okhotsk in Russia's Far East fired a missile that hit its designated target 4,300 miles northwest in the Barents Sea. Later, a new Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from the Arctic Plesetsk cosmodrome, flying 4,200 miles east to hit its designated target in a remote spot on the Kamchatka peninsula. The advanced Topol-M, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, is designed to replace older Soviet missiles that are to be dismantled under the terms of the START-II nuclear arms reduction treaty. Russia has conducted several test-firings of Topol-M and other missiles in recent months, flexing its military muscles after a long break in tests due to the funding problems affecting the Russian military. **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! X X X X X X DRUDGE REPORT X WEDS, SEPTEMBER 29, 1999 20:52:42 ET X RUSSIA, CHINA SET FOR JOINT MILITARY EXERCISES; TALBOTT SAYS AMERICANS SHOULD NOT FEAR Russian and Chinese warships will take part in first-ever joint maneuvers next week. The Russian Pacific Fleet destroyer Burny and missile cruiser Varyag will visit the port of Shanghai on Oct. 2-6, the ITAR-TASS newswire is reporting. During the visit, the two Russian vessels will hold joint exercises with ships from China's Eastern Fleet. It will be the first joint maneuver between the two nations, ITAR-TASS said. Russian Navy spokesman Igor Dygalo: The maneuvers are "another step towards strengthening cooperation and mutual understanding" between the two countries. China has become the top client for Russia's military business, purchasing billions of dollars worth of jets, missiles and submarines. Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott has said Americans should not fear the developing relationship between the powers. Asked during a recent political conference whether the expansion and new mandates of NATO would encourage deeper Russian-Chinese relations, Talbott said that there was no reason to fear such relations and indeed, that the United States welcomes them. Talbott's odd ambivalence could be rooted in the fact that he personally believes that Russia, China, and the United States may not exist in their current forms in the 21st Century -- because nationhood throughout the world will become obsolete! Just before joining the Clinton administration, Talbott wrote in TIME magazine -- in an essay titled "The Birth of the Global Nation" -- that he is looking forward to government run by "one global authority." "Here is one optimist's reason for believing unity will prevail ... within the next hundred years ... nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority," Talbott declared in the July 20, 1992 issue of TIME. "A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century -- 'citizen of the world' -- will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st." Talbott continued: "All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary." Talbott's belief that the United States of America and other nations are "artificial and temporary" has caused a rift inside of the State Department, the DRUDGE REPORT revealed earlier this week. "I think we are losing sight that we work for the American taxpayer, not Russia, not Asia," one State Department veteran told the DRUDGE REPORT in Washington. "Mr. Talbott is completely consumed with world order and has alienated many career employees here. [His] attitude borders on obsession." **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

Re: [CTRL] The Law is...[a bit of a spew]
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. == The law is a set of "rules" that when followed lead inevitably to peace, harmony, abundance, joy, etc. So to say something is against the law is to say that it works contrary to the flow of free and abundant expression of the "force." .. Man follows the laws of the earth. Earth follows the laws of the universe. The universe follows the laws of the Tao. The Tao follows nothing. -Tao Te Ching [verse 25] .. Modern physics has shown that laws of the universe are in flux. So the law's definition will always be to do that which is in the flow of divinity but this can be tricky because divinity has been known to change its mind. Thanks to physicists, mystics, metaphysicians, and magicians, we have people that spend a great deal of their time observing the universe in flux, closely. Let us pay heed to them so we will always know the law. As you can see from this premise, the people who are our legislators would necessarily not be free to observe the law in change. Mired down in ceaselessly working out the details of what has already been established as the law, they miss the fact that the law has changed, much like champions of ancient scriptural law, where those who in choosing to be religious by studying the laws laid down for an archaic world no longer in existence thereby miss the fact that their head is filled with so much legislative detail that they have no room in their heads for the word of god as he speaks now. pssst..he is speaking to you now. he has a new message. let go of what was applicable before and listen for what is applicable now. i am smart enough to see that the universe is in flux so i am sure that the comlex gaian cognitive entelechy is as well. don't assume that if some super-intelligent force [jehovah, pan, allah, the force] speaks to you that you must be crazy. we assume that we can talk to god but somehow, he cannot do the same. that is unreasonable. if we are merely assuming that he WOULDN'T, we claim to know a mind that dwarfs us as a sun would a tennis ball. think of prayer as connecting with what is on high, not as an opportunity for millions of people to make requests to the great DJ god on sunday, his day off. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- Ventura made a mistake by getting into social issues An albatross also on Buchanan back... A Reform Party is needed for GOVERNMENT REFORM to eliminate corruption, remove special interest influence, cut down the vast bureaucracy,stay home and mind our own business. You could probably win on that platform. On social, health and economic issues the goal should be to remove Government influence and regulation, not make policy statements.. Hands off. These are personal issues not the concern of government or politics. Let people make up their own minds., be responsible for their own actions. Winning elections is built on coalitions. Ventura may have support for his personal social views but they are no concern of government or politics. Best left unsaid. Looks like Ron Paul is closer to the goal. . Keep it simple.!

The tobacco for these cigarettes is grown on the Cherokee Reservation on North Carolina. I wonder who owns (some of) the American Cigarette companies?

The main reason that I am posting now is that I wonder if some of the major brands of cigarettes have had a muzzle placed on them - Is Tobacco the actual heath problem - or is it the additives that (some) companies add? I am still checking on GM tobacco seed, as well as the pesticides and herbicides used. I do know that a couple of the selling points are *this company does not put additives in the cigarettes, *and the tobacco is grown on the Cherokee Reservation. The actual membership is for a buyers club that sells the cigarettes, that I hope starts selling other "natural products" - I am not saying organic - I am still checking out the methods under which the tobacco is grown - http://www.cdbn.com/1805 -- Any person can stand adversity, The true test is to give a person power.

[CTRL] The Information War
-Caveat Lector-
The Information War
Humanity has always invested heavily in any scheme that offers escape from
the body. And why not? Material reality is such a mess. Some of the earliest
"religious" artefacts, such as Neanderthal ochre burials, already suggest a
belief in immortality. All modern (i.e. post-paleolithic) religions contain
the "Gnostic trace" of distrust or even outright hostility to the body and
the "created" world. Contemporary "primitive" tribes and even peasant-pagans
have a concept of immortality and of going-outside-the-body (ec-stasy)
without necessarily exhibiting any excessive body-hatred. The Gnostic Trace
accumulates very gradually (like mercury poisoning) till eventually it turns
pathological. Gnostic dualism exemplifies the extreme position of this
disgust by shifting all value from body to "spirit". This idea characterizes
what we call "civilization". A similar trajectory can be traced through the
phenomenon of "war". Hunter/gatherers practised (and still practise, as
amongst the Yanomamo) a kind of ritualized brawl (think of the Plains Indian
custom of "counting coup"). "Real" war is a continuation of religion and
economics (i.e. politics) by other means, and thus only begins historically
with the priestly invention of "scarcity" in the Neolithic, and the
emergence of a "warrior caste". (I categorically reject the theory that
"war" is a prolongation of "hunting".) WWII seems to have been the last
"real" war. Hyperreal war began in Vietnam, with the involvement of
television, and recently reached full obscene revelation in the "Gulf War"
of 1991. Hyperreal war is no longer "economic", no longer "the health of the
state". The Ritual Brawl is voluntary and hon-hierarchic (war chiefs are
always temporary); real war is compulsory and hierarchic; hyperreal war is
imagistic and psychologically interiorized ("Pure War"). In the first the
body is risked; in the second, the body is sacrificed; in the third, the
body has disappeared. (See P. Clastres on War, in Archaeology of Violence.)
Modern science also incorporates an anti-materialist bias, the dialectical
outcome of its war against Religion - it has in some sense become Religion.
Science as knowledge of material reality paradoxically decomposes the
materiality of the real. Science has always been a species of priestcraft, a
branch of cosmology; and an ideology, a justification of "the way things
are." The deconstruction of the "real" in post-classical physics mirrors the
vacuum of irreality which constitutes "the state". Once the image of Heaven
on Earth, the state now consists of no more than the management of images.
It is no longer a "force" but a disembodied patterning of information. But
just as Babylonian cosmology justified Babylonian power, so too does the
"finality" of modern science serve the ends of the Terminal State, the
post-nuclear state, the "information state". Or so the New Paradigm would
have it. And "everyone" accepts the axiomatic premises of the new paradigm.
The new paradigm is very spiritual.
Even the New Age with its gnostic tendencies embraces the New Science and
its increasing etherealization as a source of proof-texts for its
spiritualist world view. Meditation and cybernetics go hand in hand. Of
course the "information state" somehow requires the support of a police
force and prison system that would have stunned Nebuchadnezzar and reduced
all the priests of Moloch to paroxysms of awe. And "modern science" still
can't weasel out of its complicity in the very-nearly-successful "conquest
of Nature". Civilization's greatest triumph over the body.
But who cares? It's all "relative" isn't it? I guess we'll just have to
"evolve" beyond the body. Maybe we can do it in a "quantum leap." Meanwhile
the excessive mediation of the Social, which is carried out through the
machinery of the Media, increases the intensity of our alienation from the
body by fixating the flow of attention on information rather than direct
experience. In this sense the Media serves a religious or priestly role,
appearing to offer us a way out of the body by re-defining spirit as
information. The essence of information is the Image, the sacral and iconic
data-complex which usurps the primacy of the "material bodily principle" as
the vehicle of incarnation, replacing it with a fleshless ecstasis beyond
corruption. Consciousness becomes something which can be "down-loaded",
excized from the matrix of animality and immortalized as information. No
longer "ghost-in-the-machine", but machine-as-ghost, machine as Holy Ghost,
ultimate mediator, which will translate us from our mayfly-corpses to a
pleroma of Light. Virtual Reality as CyberGnosis. Jack in, leave Mother
Earth behind forever. All science proposes a paradigmatic universalism - as
in science, so in the social. Classical physics played midwife to
Capitalism, Communism, Fascism and other Modern ideologies.
Post-classical science also proposes a set of ideas meant to be applied to
[CTRL] Public Enemy #1- Concentration of wealth.
-Caveat Lector- LE MONDE DIPLOMATIQUE - November 1998 The politics of hunger by IGNACIO RAMONET Now here's a statistic you might have missed. The total wealth of the world's three richest individuals is greater than the combined gross domestic product (1) of the 48 poorest countries - a quarter of all the world's states. Everybody knows inequality has increased over the last 20 years of unfettered ultra-liberalism. But who could have imagined the gap had widened so far? In 1960 the income of the 20 % of the world's population living in the richest countries was 30 times greater than that of the 20 % in the poorest countries. Now we learn that in 1995 it was 82 times greater (2). In over 70 countries, per capita income is lower today than it was 20 years ago. Almost three billion people - half the world's population - live on less than two dollars a day. While goods are more abundant than ever before, the number of people without shelter, work or enough to eat is constantly growing. Of the 4_ billion people giving in developing countries, almost a third have no drinking water. A fifth of all children receive an insufficient intake of calories or protein. And two billion people - a third of the human race - are suffering from anemia. Is this the way it has to be? The answer is no. The UN calculates that the whole of the world population's basic needs for food, drinking water, education and medical care could be covered by a levy of less than 4 % on the accumulated wealth of the 225 largest fortunes. To satisfy all the world's sanitation and food requirements would cost only $13 billion, hardly as much as the people of the United States and the European Union spend each year on perfume. ... Consider, for example, the right to food. Food is not in short supply. In fact, food products have never been so abundant. There is enough available to provide each of the Earth's inhabitants with at least 2,700 calories a day. But production alone is not enough. The people who need the food must be able to buy it and consume it. And that is precisely the problem. Thirty million people a year die of hunger. And 800 million suffer from chronic malnutrition.

[CTRL] The Politics of Hunger
-Caveat Lector- FROM: Le Monde diplomatique The politics of hunger by IGNACIO RAMONET Now heres a statistic you might have missed.

To satisfy all the world's sanitation and food requirements would cost only $13 billion, hardly as much as the people of the United States and the European Union spend each year on perfume. Next month will see the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which states that "everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services". But for most of humanity, these rights are increasingly inaccessible. Consider, for example, the right to food. Food is not in short supply. In fact, food products have never been so abundant. There is enough available to provide each of the Earth's inhabitants with at least 2,700 calories a day. But production alone is not enough. The people who need the food must be able to buy it and consume it. And that is precisely the problem. Thirty million people a year die of hunger. And 800 million suffer from chronic malnutrition. Again, there is nothing inevitable about this. Climatic problems are often predictable. When humanitarian organizations like Action Against Hunger (3) are able to intervene, they can often nip a famine in the bud in a matter of weeks. And yet hunger continues to decimate whole populations. Why? Because hunger has become a political weapon. In today's world, no famine is gratuitous. Hunger is a strategy pursued with unbelievable cynicism by governments and military regimes whom the end of the cold war has deprived of a steady income. Rather than starving the enemy, as Sylvie Brunel points out (4), they are starving their own populations in order to cash in on media coverage and international compassion, an inexhaustible source of money, food and political platforms. In Somalia, Sudan, Liberia, North Korea, Burma and Afghanistan, governments and military leaders are holding innocent people hostage and starving them for political ends, sometimes with appalling cruelty. In Sierra Leone, the men of ex-Corporal Foday Sankoh's Revolutionary United Front (RUF), in a horrific year-long campaign of terror, have been systematically chopping off peasants' hands with machetes to prevent them cultivating the land. Climate has become a marginal factor in major famines. It is man who is starving man. Amartya Sen, the winner of this year's Nobel prize for economics, is renowned for showing how government policies can cause famine even when food is abundant. On several occasions, he has stressed "the remarkable fact that, in the terrible history of famines in the world, no substantial famine has ever occurred in any independent and democratic country with a relatively free press (5)". Rejecting the arguments of the neo-liberals, Professor Sen contends that greater responsibility for the well-being of society must be given, not to the market, but to the state. A state that must be sensitive to the needs of its citizens and, at the same time, concerned with human development throughout the world.

These orders had been approved by the Israeli Military Commander Moshe Ya'lon on 15 May this year, but were not announced until 19 - 20 September when the orders were distributed to Israeli military stations and DCO centers in the northern West Bank, and advertised in the Al Quds newspaper. According to LAW's documentation, these orders included closing off land belonging to no fewer than 79 Palestinian villages. As well as consisting of thousands of dunums of Palestinian owned farmland, it also contains the homes of hundreds of Palestinians; many people have been required to evacuate the land. It is stated in the preamble to the military orders that no one is permitted to remain in the area without special Israeli permission. Israel has once again imposed control over Palestinian land under the pretext of 'security'. Settlement activity in the area could indicate that the government has earmarked this land for the expansion of existing settlements. The land in question constitutes much more than the 7% of land that Israel is due to transfer from to Palestinian civil control according to the Israeli-Palestinian agreement recently signed in Sharm Al Sheikh. In fact, a portion of this land may be due for transfer to the Palestinians under the recent peace deal. The military closure of those areas close to the Green Line (the border between Israel and the West Bank), may be an attempt to unilaterally create facts on the ground, as Israel has been determined to remain control of the border areas. LAW's field investigators are working with the village communities and councils, engineers and land surveyors to determine the impact of these decisions. LAW is examining the legal precedents and individual cases to prepare a legal challenge against the decision. This confiscation of land is illegal. It violates the Fourth Geneva Convention and undermines the very basis of the Sharm el Sheikh deal. LAW demands the immediate revocation of these orders and an end to all settlement activity taking place on occupied Palestinian land.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Nuclear Accidents Japanese Nuke Workers Were Just Making Cookies First, mix uranium hexafluoride with nitric acid in a bucket. A SERIES of grotesque blunders by inexperienced staff, combined with inadequate safety procedures at the Tokaimura nuclear plant, lay behind Japan's worst nuclear accident, the company which runs the installation conceded yesterday. From the accounts of three workers severely injured in Thursday's inadvertent nuclear reaction, it emerged that staff bypassed normal procedures to mix a uranium-nitric acid solution in a stainless steel bucket by hand. As a result, there was a small explosion, followed by an uncontained nuclear reaction which sent radiation spewing into the atmosphere, forcing 300,000 people in a four-mile radius of the plant to stay in their homes. The three workers had been mixing uranium hexafluoride with nitric acid to make fuel for a nuclear power plant. There are supposed to be three stages: first the uranium hexafluoride is dissolved in nitric acid in a solution tank. It is then pumped to a storage tank and then to a settling tank. But according to one of them - Yutaka Yokoyama, 54 - the employees ignored most of the procedure, and used neither a solution tank nor a storage tank, preferring to mix it directly in the bucket. The three men were also very inexperienced. For two of them it was the first time they had tried to perform the procedure, while the third had done it only a few times. They also attempted to process eight times the normal amount of uranium. Under the company's rules, only 2.4 kilograms of uranium should be processed at once in order to prevent a "criticality incident" of the sort which caused the accident. The three tried to process 16 kilograms of the material in one go. It is not clear whether the violation of the rules was due to sheer ignorance or whether they were trying to cut corners. Much of the information on the accident came from Mr Yokoyama, the oldest member of the team involved in the accident, who was the least affected by radiation and is able to walk. The other two have very low counts of white blood cells and red burn marks on their skin - classic symptoms of radiation poisoning. Bone marrow transplants are being considered for the three men. Radiation levels in the town of Tokaimura, 90 miles north-east of Tokyo, were back to normal yesterday allowing people to leave their homes for the first time since the incident occurred on Thursday. Few people ventured out into the streets even after the all clear. JCO, the company which runs the plant, said safety rules had been violated. A spokesman said: "We have no words to express our apologies. We cannot escape our responsibility since our employees violated company rules and the incident was deplorable." Police are questioning company officials and criminal negligence charges may be brought. But the company also admitted that the facility where the accident took place had inadequate safety equipment. There were no glove boxes to keep workers away from radioactive materials, no robots nor remote control systems. The plant also did not have a control rod, used to control critical state reactions. Details of the incompetence that led to the catastrophe have appalled the Japanese public. A series of recent accidents at nuclear plants had already undermined confidence but the idea that workers were flouting procedures and inventing their own Heath Robinson measures was beyond the comprehension of many. Jinzaburo Takagi, the leader of the Citizens' Nuclear Information Centre, said: "It's most incredible to me. There has to be a review not just of this plant but of the whole industry." While there was a sense of relief that the situation had not been more grave, there was also a feeling that it could have been avoided. There is likely to be much anger if the government does not order a full inquiry. The London Telegraph, October 2, 1999 Gold Market Gold's Reverse Gear Vroom! Vrm! Crash! Imagine slamming a moving car into reverse gear. You can expect lots of grinding noises, and probably some damage to the machinery. That is what happened to the gold market this week. Gold has been meandering downwards in value since 1980, when it was worth $850 an ounce. That trend had accelerated in the past five months - until a sudden recovery in the space of two and a half days last week. Having fallen to $250 an ounce a few weeks ago, gold is now above $300, a level it has not held since last year. The immediate cause of these gyrations is market anxiety about possible future sales by the world's central banks. Even though gold long ago lost its role as the anchor of the world financial system, many central banks still hold large reserves. But some countries have been selling up; and others, such as Britain and Switzerland, are

[CTRL] The Seedy Side of the FCC
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.wired.com/news/news/business/story/21985.html A HREF="http://www.wired.com/news/news/business/story/21985.html"Business News from Wired News/A - The Seedy Side of the FCC by Declan McCullagh 12:15 p.m. 28.Sep.99.PDT GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, Wyoming -- Americans often seem to view the US Federal Communications Commission as something between a benign nuisance and an antediluvian bureaucracy. But is the FCC really a group of modern-day Don Corleones who run a protection racket complete with threats to kowtow to government demands or else? That's how one FCC commissioner views his colleagues. "They are engaged in shakedowns, extortions, and things that fall outside the formal regulatory process," Harold Furchtgott-Roth said Tuesday at a Hudson Institute conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. "The commission has been very effective in shaking down companies [and deciding] which communities get served first, which communities get served last, [and] who the assets get spun off to," he said. Furchtgott-Roth, a Clinton appointee who is the sole economist among the agency's four other lawyers-turned-commissioners, is frequently the lone dissenting voice when the FCC considers new regulations. Under US law, the FCC has broad regulatory authority over telecommunications companies. He criticized the conditions the FCC required before approving the SBC-Ameritech merger, and pointed at "the conditions which SBC has 'voluntarily' submitted with a gun pointed at its head. "Somehow, all the conditions have nothing to do with wireless licenses, but a lot of other things." Furchtgott-Roth also slammed the so-called "Gore tax," or e-rate fee that the FCC devised to wire schools and libraries to the Net. "There we have a situation where the commission has invented a tax to fund programs at schools and libraries across America purportedly to bring broadband. At first blush this seems like a good thing." But, he said, Department of Education statistics published in January 1998 -- before the e-rate checks began to flow -- showed about 70 percent of schools already had access. "This is just preposterous. Most schools and libraries were hooked up to the Internet before a nickel of this multibillion dollar tax was imposed on Americans. There's hardly a politician who's willing to stand up and say this is an incredible fraud," Furchtgott-Roth said. Martin Irvine, a Georgetown University professor who spoke Monday, said his experience suggested otherwise. "I can't believe that so many schools are connected," he said. Irvine also said that the FCC should not refrain from regulation of the Net and telecommunications businesses, saying that some forms of control over what companies and individuals can do are better than others. "Regulation does not equal regulation does not equal regulation," he said. Glenn Woroch, a research economist at GTE Laboratories, said he believed that the FCC needed to intervene in the telecom industry -- and the Internet business too. "I also think there's room for agencies like the FCC to help the industry move out of certain conventions. There are a lot of pricing conventions in the industry that are distortionary and do not contain good incentives for investment," Woroch said. He pointed to Internet peering arrangements as one area where the FCC could intervene with regulations or standards-setting. "There's something that cannot continue. But there's great difficulty in coordinating the industry from that pricing system to one that's based on cost," he said. Furchtgott-Roth predicted that differences in regulation between the Internet and more tightly controlled media like cable and broadcast will make for some nasty fights. "It's going to be a very slow process and it's going to create a lot of problems," he said. Related Wired Links: Feds OK Cell Phone Tracking 16.Sep.99. FCC Sides with FBI on Tapping 27.Aug.99.

RJR NABISCO HOLDINGS CORP.
1301 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019
(212) 258-5600
RJRN was incorporated in 1970 and can trace its origins back to the
formation of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in 1875. Activities were
confined to
the tobacco industry until the 1960's, when diversification led to
investments
in transportation, energy and food. With the acquisition of Del Monte
Corporation ("Del Monte") in 1979, RJRN began to concentrate its focus on
consumer products. This strategy led to the acquisition of Nabisco Brands,
Inc.
in 1985. RJRN today conducts its tobacco line of business through RJRT and
Tobacco International and its food line of business through NFG and Nabisco
International.During 1993, Nabisco
International acquired a 50% interest in both Royal Brands, S.A. in Spain
and
Royal Brands Portugal, acquired approximately 95% of Cia. Arturo Field y la
Estrella Ltda., S.A. in Peru and increased its equity interest in a
partially
owned business in Venezuela to 100%. In addition, Tobacco International
acquired
a 52% interest in a cigarette factory in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1992, and
constructed a factory in Turkey and acquired a 70% interest in two cigarette
factories in the Ukraine in 1993.
The domestic tobacco business is conducted by RJRT, which is the second
largest cigarette manufacturer in the United States. RJRT's largest selling
cigarette brands in the United States include WINSTON, DORAL, SALEM, CAMEL,
MONARCH and BEST VALUE. RJRT's other cigarette brands, including VANTAGE,
MORE,
NOW, STERLING, MAGNA and CENTURY, are marketed to meet a variety of smoker
preferences. All RJRT brands are marketed in a variety of styles. Based on
data
collected for RJRT by an independent market research firm, RJRT had an
overall
share of retail consumer cigarette sales during 1993 of 29.8%, an increase
of
approximately one share point from 1992. During 1993, RJRT and the largest
domestic cigarette manufacturer, Philip Morris U.S.A., together sold
approximately 73% of all cigarettes sold in the United States.
A primary long-term objective of RJRT is to increase earnings and cash
flow
through selective marketing investments in its key brands and continual
improvements in its cost structure and operating efficiency. Marketing
programs
for full-price brands are designed to build brand awareness and add value to
the
brands in order to retain current adult smokers and attract adult smokers of
competitive brands. In 1993, these efforts included expansion of continuity
and
relationship-building programs such as CAMEL Cash and the WINSTON Winners
Club,
and the introduction of line extensions such as CAMEL Special Lights and
WINSTON
Select Lights. RJRT believes it is essential to compete in all segments of
the
cigarette market, and accordingly offers a range of lower-priced brands
including DORAL, MONARCH and BEST VALUE intended to appeal to more
cost-conscious adult smokers. 2PAGE
For a discussion on competition in the tobacco business, see "Other
Matters--Competition" in this Item 1 and "1993 Competitive Activity" under
Item
7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations.
RJRT's domestic manufacturing facilities, consisting principally of
factories and leaf storage facilities, are located in or near Winston-Salem,
North Carolina and are owned by RJRT. Cigarette production is conducted at
the
Tobaccoville cigarette manufacturing plant (approximately two million square
feet) and the Whitaker Park cigarette manufacturing complex (approximately
one
and one-half million square feet). RJRT believes that its cigarette
manufacturing facilities are among the most technologically advanced in the
United States. RJRT also has significant research and development facilities
in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
RJRT's cigarettes are sold in the United States primarily to chain
stores,
other large retail outlets and through distributors to other retail and
wholesale outlets. Except for McLane Company, Inc., which

[CTRL] The Business Cycle And the Future
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.pei-intl.com/TOPICS/FUTURE.htm A HREF="http://www.pei-intl.com/TOPICS/FUTURE.htm"Is the Global Economy Cracking Up? - by Martin /A - One man's opinion. Om K - The Business Cycle And the Future By Martin A. Armstrong Princeton Economic Institute © Copyright September 26th, 1999 For many years, I have pursued a field of study that is at best non-traditional. My discovery of a global business cycle during the early 1970's was by no means intentional. As a youth growing up in the 1960's, the atmosphere was anything but stable. I dont really know if it was Hollywood that captivated my interest in history with an endless series of movies about Roman and Greek history, but whatever it was that drove me, I can only attest to what resulted. My father had always wanted to return to Europe after serving under General Patton during the war. My mother insisted that she would go only when he could afford to take the whole family. That day finally came and something inside me insisted upon being able to earn my own spending money. I applied for a job despite my age of only 14. It wasnt much, but on weekends I worked with a coin/bullion dealer. In those days, gold was illegal to buy or sell in bullion form so the industry centered on gold coins issued by Mexico, Hungary and Austria. I soon became familiar with the financial markets as they were starting to emerge. It was this experience that began to conflict with the formal training of school. One day in a history class, the teacher brought in an old black and white film entitled "Toast of the Town." This film was about Jim Fisk and his attempt to corner the gold market in 1869 that created a major financial panic in which the term "Black Friday" was first coined. In the film was a very young support actor named Cary Grant who stood by the ticker tape machine reading off the latest gold prices. He read the tape and exclaimed that gold had just reached $162 an ounce. I knew from my job that gold was currently selling for $35. At first I thought that the price quote of $162 in the movie must be wrong. After all, Hollywood wasnt known for truthfulness. Nonetheless, I was compelled to go to the library to check the newspapers of 1869 for myself. This first step in research left me stunned the New York Times verified $162 was correct. For the first time in my life, I was faced with a paradox that seemed to conflict with traditional concepts. How could gold be $162 in 1869 and yet be worth only $35 in the 1960's? Surely, inflation was supposed to be linear. If a dollar was a lot of money in 1869, this meant that adjusted for inflation gold must have been the equivalent of several thousand dollars. If value was not linear, then was anything linear? I began exploring the field of economics on my own and reading the various debates over the existance of a business cycle. Kondratieff was interesting for his vision of great waves of economic activity. Of course, others argued that such oscillations were purely random. Over the years that followed, this nagging question still bothered me. I had poured my heart and soul into history, quickly learning that all civilizations rose and fell and there seemed to be no exception. I was still not yet convinced that a business cycle was actually definable. Kondratieffs work was indeed interesting, but there was not enough data to say that it was in fact correct. On the other hand, it seemed that the random theory crowd was somehow threatened by the notion that the business cycle might be definable. After all, if the business cycle could be defined, then perhaps mans intervention would not be successful. Clearly, there was a large degree of self-interest in discouraging any attempt to define the business cycle. I knew from my study of history that a non-professional German industrialist took Homer and set out to disprove the academics who argued that Homer was merely a story for children. In the end, that untrained believer in Homer disc overed Troy and just about every other famous Greek city that was not supposed to have existed beyond fable. I didnt know how to go about such a quest to find if the business cycle was definable. Admittedly, I began with the very basic naive approach of simply adding up all the financial panics between 1683 and 1907 and dividing 224 years by the number of panics being 26 yielding 8.6 years. Well, this didnt seem to be very valid at first, but it did allow for a greater amount of data to be tested compared to merely 3 waves described by Kondratieff. The more I began to back test this 8.6-year average, the more accurate it seemed to be. I spent countless hours in libraries reading contemporary accounts of events around these dates. It soon became clear that there were issues of intensity and shifts in public confidence. During some periods, society seemed to distrust

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/22045.html A HREF="http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/22045.html"Political News from Wired News/A - He Digs (Through) Gov't Muck by Declan McCullagh 12:30 p.m. 1.Oct.99.PDT Ask John Young what puts a grin on his face and he'll give you a ready response: Unearthing government documents, the more obscure the better. Over the last three years, Young has compiled what is probably the world's most extensive public collection of over 4,000 files about privacy and technology, often related to encryption and free speech, and always of interest to the thousands of visitors who frequent jya.com every day. Read more in Infostructure Young, an accomplished 63-year-old New York City architect who has taught at Columbia University, views his Web site both as a service to the Internet public and an experiment in information design and collection. When Young phones government agencies to ask them for electronic copies of documents for his collection, to submit freedom of information act requests, or to pore through the labyrinthine Federal Register each morning (on Tuesday he found the FCC's new wiretapping rules), he's acting just like a journalist. But he doesn't consider himself one. "My wife and I are both scholars -- we both teach. We like to put up original documents so people can make up their own minds. We see it as a librarian service," he says. A self-confessed 1960s radical -- at the 1968 Columbia University student strike, he met the students who would become his partners at the public-service Urban Deadline firm -- Young says he joined the cypherpunks mailing list in 1995 and soon became enraptured by the heated discussions of privacy, freedom, encryption, and the intrusive Clipper Chip. When a blue-panel federal commission the next year published an important but hardcopy-only "CRISIS report" that recommended reduced regulation of encryption products, Young decided the Internet community should be able to read it online. "We have a fair amount of equipment here including scanners since we use them for our graphic work I went down and got this CRISIS report and scanned it and put it up," he says. "That was the first thing we did and it got a nice response." It was also the beginning of what has become nearly a full-time job for Young, who offers his scanners as a community service. News organizations and public interest groups regularly send him volumes of hardcopy documents to be turned into text files and placed on his site. When the White House distributed intriguing details of new encryption regulations at a press conference on 16 September, the Electronic Frontier Foundation wanted to make sure they'd be online. The group faxed them to Young that evening. Some of his readers are unusual. The US National Security Agency, the subject of a special section in Young's vast archive, appears to send a robot at 7 a.m. every weekday to download the latest files. "I still don't know if it's a bot or a person. But it comes every morning faithfully and takes whatever's new. It takes two copies. It sure acts like a bot," Young says. Whether person or program, visitors from spy agencies are a regular source of amusement for Young. His logs show that such first-time readers often browse other areas of jya.com, such as his architecture business. "Some of the new NSA folks usually come around and see who this John Young person is. Then they don't come to that area again and stick to the crypto stuff," he said. Not all visitors are as benign. Last week Young got a scare from what seemed to me a malicious bot run by the Korean government's Information Security Agency. In a 22 September post to the cypherpunks mailing list, Young said the agency had "set up [or allowed] a couple of robots to issue a sustained flood of requests for the same three files, one per second, which has nearly stopped access by others." But the so-called denial-of-service attack seemed to be an accident. "All of the administrators were off since it was a Korean holiday," Young said. A KISA system administrator explained in an email message: "In this case, this robot has a problem. It's process has gone to the loop-back mode. Let me try to fix it but it could need a few days because the manager of the TWISTer server is in absent. From today it started the holidays for 3 days in Korean(Oriental) Thanks Giving Days." So what transformed a student radical into a respected architect whose projects have included the Rockefeller Apartment, the Pierre Hotel, and Columbia University's Whittier Hall?

[CTRL] Nathaniel Hawthorne--Young Goodman Brown
-Caveat Lector- I'm sorry I neglected to supply the url when I posted Grandfather's Chair. http://eldred.ne.mediaone.net/nh/nhwrit.html Linda Minor http://eldred.ne.mediaone.net/nh/ygb.html from Mosses from an Old Manse, 1854 By Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), 1835 Young Goodman Brown YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN came forth at sunset, into the street of Salem village, but put his head back, after crossing the threshold, to exchange a parting kiss with his young wife. And Faith, as the wife was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap, while she called to Goodman Brown. "Dearest heart," whispered she, softly and rather sadly, when her lips were close to his ear, "pr'y thee, put off your journey until sunrise, and sleep in your own bed to-night. A lone woman is troubled with such dreams and such thoughts, that she's afeard of herself, sometimes. Pray, tarry with me this night, dear husband, of all nights in the year!" "My love and my Faith," replied young Goodman Brown, "of all nights in the year, this one night must I tarry away from thee. My journey, as thou callest it, forth and back again, must needs be done 'twixt now and sunrise. What, my sweet, pretty wife, dost thou doubt me already, and we but three months married!" "Then God bless you!" said Faith, with the pink ribbons, "and may you find all well, when you come back." "Amen!" cried Goodman Brown. "Say thy prayers, dear Faith, and go to bed at dusk, and no harm will come to thee." So they parted; and the young man pursued his way, until, being about to turn the corner by the meeting-house, he looked back and saw the head of Faith still peeping after him, with a melancholy air, in spite of her pink ribbons. "Poor little Faith!" thought he, for his heart smote him. "What a wretch am I, to leave her on such an errand! She talks of dreams, too. Methought, as she spoke, there was trouble in her face, as if a dream had warned her what work is to be done to-night. But, no, no! 'twould kill her to think it. Well; she's a blessed angel on earth; and after this one night, I'll cling to her skirts and follow her to Heaven." With this excellent resolve for the future, Goodman Brown felt himself justified in making more haste on his present evil purpose. He had taken a dreary road, darkened by all the gloomiest trees of the forest, which barely stood aside to let the narrow path creep through, and closed immediately behind. It was all as lonely as could be; and there is this peculiarity in such a solitude, that the traveller knows not who may be concealed by the innumerable trunks and the thick boughs overhead; so that, with lonely footsteps, he may yet be passing through an unseen multitude. "There may be a devilish Indian behind every tree," said Goodman Brown to himself; and he glanced fearfully behind him, as he added, "What if the devil himself should be at my very elbow!" His head being turned back, he passed a crook of the road, and looking forward again, beheld the figure of a man, in grave and decent attire, seated at the foot of an old tree. He arose, at Goodman Brown's approach, and walked onward, side by side with him. "You are late, Goodman Brown," said he. "The clock of the Old South was striking, as I came through Boston; and that is full fifteen minutes agone." "Faith kept me back awhile," replied the young man, with a tremor in his voice, caused by the sudden appearance of his companion, though not wholly unexpected. It was now deep dusk in the forest, and deepest in that part of it where these two were journeying. As nearly as could be discerned, the second traveller was about fifty years old, apparently in the same rank of life as Goodman Brown, and bearing a considerable resemblance to him, though perhaps more in expression than features. Still, they might have been taken for father and son. And yet, though the elder person was as simply clad as the younger, and as simple in manner too, he had an indescribable air of one who knew the world, and would not have felt abashed at the governor's dinner-table, or in King William's court, were it possible that his affairs should call him thither. But the only thing about him, that could be fixed upon as remarkable, was his staff, which bore the likeness of a great black snake, so curiously wrought, that it might almost be seen to twist and wriggle itself like a living serpent. This, of course, must have been an ocular deception, assisted by the uncertain light. "Come, Goodman Brown!" cried his fellow-traveller, "this is a dull pace for the beginning of a journey. Take my staff, if you are so soon weary." "Friend," said the other, exchanging his slow pace for a full stop, "having kept covenant by meeting thee here, it is my purpose now to return whence I came. I have scruples, touching the matter thou wot'st of." "Sayest thou so?" replied he of the serpent, smiling apart. "Let us walk on, nevertheless, reasoning as
Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Goddard--Waco Bomb Claim Retracted
-Caveat Lector- Gordon Novel has photographs of the tank that show that it is undamaged, and also has photographs apparently doctored by the FBI showing it ripped open. However, a lawyer on the legal team informed me that a small cap was missing from the tank in the photos that prove it was not ripped open. Yesterday I learned that such tanks, when overheated, do not explode, instead a safety value pops off and a jet of gas shoots out of an escape valve. This could easy explain both the fireball and why the tank was not ruptured. Is this the same Gordon Novel from JFK assassination days? The following are excerpts from James DiEugenio's DESTINY BETRAYED: Novel was perhaps the primary CIA contact for the New Orleans part of the anti-Castro efforts. A communications and electronics expert, he had funds channeled to his Evergreen Advertising Agency, a CIA front, to fuel the effort. With this, he helped pay for radio commercials that contained cryptic messages to alert agents to the Bay of Pigs invasion date. Novel and his first attorney, Jerry Weiner, originally denied his Agency connections. But after Garrison uncovered Novel's participation with Ferrie in the Houma arms raid and the New Orleans States-Item broke a story about his CIA connection, Novel and his second attorney, Steve Plotkin, dropped the denials and changed their response to a "no comment." Later, this ploy was also dropped; in a letter discovered in his abandoned New Orleans apartment, Novel revealed his CIA employment. Novel was connected through the Houma weapons raid on the Schlumberger warehouse not only to Ferrie but also to Bannister. It was at Banister's office that many of the stolen munitiions were stored for later use at the Bay of Pigs. Novel denied that the Houma operation was a heist at all. He claimed it was nothing but a "patriotic" pickup of stored war material. Privately, he said that on the day of the pickup, he was phoned by his CIA contact and told to lead a group to the Schlumberger bunker, and then transport the weapons by laundry truck to their eventual debarkation point, Miami. He said the people he worked with -- Ferrie, Sergio Arcacha Smith, and Layton Martens, Ferrie's then roommate -- were all supposed to be working with the CIA. Novel's statements were critical to the Garrison probe because he not only provided a CIA link to Ferrie and Banister, he also stated that he knew both Clay Shaw and Dean Andrews. Novel's specialty was electronics. He also owned a restaurant which he almost never frequented. Shaw was in the international trade business and wrote plays. We have seen that Andrews was an undistinguished attorney. How did Shaw know Novel? How did Andrews know Novel? And who was Novel's "CIA contact" who called him the day of the Houma "raid"? These questions became even more compelling in view of what Novel did next. He had appeared before the Grand Jury on March 16, 1967, and discussed some general matters. But on March 22, the day he was scheduled to return for more detailed questioning, he disappeared. He had sold his interest in the restaurant and cleared out his apartment. He then began a national and international junket denouncing Garrison from Columbus, Ohio, McLean, Virginia, and Montreal, Canada, sidestepping the DA's efforts to extradite him. But Novel had slipped up when he left New Orleans in such a hurry. Two young girls who rented his apartment found a letter written by him. One of their friends gave it to Hoke May, a reporter, who in turn gave it to Garrison. A handwriting analyst verified it as Novel's. It was dated in January 1967, before Garrison's probe was made public. Made out to a "Mr. Weiss," it began: I took the liberty of writing you directly and apprising you of current situation expecting you to forward this through appropriate channels. Our connection and activity of that period involved individuals presently about to be indicted as conspirators in Mr. Garrison's investigation. The letter went on to warn that Garrison was close to discovering Novel's association with Double-Chek Corporation in Miami, another CIA front that coordinated the anti-Castro Bay of Pigs efforts in Florida. He added that, when questioned by the FBI, "My reply on five fqueries was negative. Bureau unaware of Double-Chek association in this matter." Novel was getting frantic and said he could not use the Fifth Amendment, immunity, or legal dodges and had to be out of New Orleans by March. He then threatened that if the Agency left him out in the cold or harmed him, he would release sealed Agency files on the matter to expose it. Novel closed by urging the Agency to aid him: ...appropriate counteraction relative to Garrison's inquisition concerning us...may be handled through military channels vis-a-vis DIA [Defense Intelligence Agency] man. Garrison is presently colonel in Louisiana Army National Guard The Agency took Novel's threat seriously, and came to his

Yeah We've got choice Roger Waters Amused to Death 1992 What God Wants, God GetsGod help us all. Nurev Ind Research wrote: -Caveat Lector- FROM: Le Monde diplomatique The politics of hunger by IGNACIO RAMONET Now heres a statistic you might have missed. The total wealth of the worlds three richest individuals is greater than the combined gross domestic product (1) of the 48 poorest countries - a quarter of all the worlds states. Everybody knows inequality has increased over the last 20 years of unfettered ultra-liberalism. But who could have imagined the gap had widened so far? In 1960 the income of the 20 % of the worlds population living in the richest countries was 30 times greater than that of the 20 % in the poorest countries. Now we learn that in 1995 it was 82 times greater (2). In over 70 countries, per capita income is lower today than it was 20 years ago. Almost three billion people - half the world's population - live on less than two dollars a day. While goods are more abundant than ever before, the number of people without shelter, work or enough to eat is constantly growing. Of the 4_ billion people giving in developing countries, almost a third have no drinking water. A fifth of all children receive an insufficient intake of calories or protein. And two billion people - a third of the human race - are suffering from anemia. Is this the way it has to be? The answer is no. The UN calculates that the whole of the world population's basic needs for food, drinking water, education and medical care could be covered by a levy of less than 4 % on the accumulated wealth of the 225 largest fortunes. To satisfy all the world's sanitation and food requirements would cost only $13 billion, hardly as much as the people of the United States and the European Union spend each year on perfume. Next month will see the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which states that "everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services". But for most of humanity, these rights are increasingly inaccessible. Consider, for example, the right to food. Food is not in short supply. In fact, food products have never been so abundant. There is enough available to provide each of the Earth's inhabitants with at least 2,700 calories a day. But production alone is not enough. The people who need the food must be able to buy it and consume it. And that is precisely the problem. Thirty million people a year die of hunger. And 800 million suffer from chronic malnutrition. Again, there is nothing inevitable about this. Climatic problems are often predictable. When humanitarian organizations like Action Against Hunger (3) are able to intervene, they can often nip a famine in the bud in a matter of weeks. And yet hunger continues to decimate whole populations. Why? Because hunger has become a political weapon. In today's world, no famine is gratuitous. Hunger is a strategy pursued with unbelievable cynicism by governments and military regimes whom the end of the cold war has deprived of a steady income. Rather than starving the enemy, as Sylvie Brunel points out (4), they are starving their own populations in order to cash in on media coverage and international compassion, an inexhaustible source of money, food and political platforms. In Somalia, Sudan, Liberia, North Korea, Burma and Afghanistan, governments and military leaders are holding innocent people hostage and starving them for political ends, sometimes with appalling cruelty. In Sierra Leone, the men of ex-Corporal Foday Sankoh's Revolutionary United Front (RUF), in a horrific year-long campaign of terror, have been systematically chopping off peasants' hands with machetes to prevent them cultivating the land. Climate has become a marginal factor in major famines. It is man who is starving man. Amartya Sen, the winner of this year's Nobel prize for economics, is renowned for showing how government policies can cause famine even when food is abundant. On several occasions, he has stressed "the remarkable fact that, in the terrible history of famines in the world, no substantial famine has ever occurred in any independent and democratic country with a relatively free press (5)". Rejecting the arguments of the neo-liberals, Professor Sen contends that greater responsibility for the well-being of society must be given, not to the market, but to the state. A state that must be sensitive to the needs of its citizens and, at the same time, concerned with human development throughout the world. Translated by

[CTRL] [Fwd: [ThePentagonGuru] House Votes to End Draft Registration (9/9/99)]
-Caveat Lector- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is not news but little was reported . http://www.house.gov/paul/press/press99/pr090999win.htm House Votes to End Draft Registration Majority Agrees with Paul that Selective Service Should End WASHINGTON, DC -- The House of Representatives voted Wednesday night to terminate the Selective Service System, saving taxpayers $250 million over the next 10 years while ending the "systematic abuse of the civil liberties" of millions of Americans. The vote was 232 to 187. "Not only is the notion of involuntary servitude at odds with our system of law and tradition of liberty, but it is not in keeping with the needs and demands of a 21st Century defense program," said US Rep. Ron Paul (R, Texas), who championed the cause to end the Selective Service program. He introduced HR 1812, the Selective Service Stand-by Act. The measure would have put the system into a deep hibernation, while transferring the funds to veterans programs. "I'm pleased my colleagues in Congress have sided with me in saying that the time to end the draft is long overdue. Under the misguided rhetoric of national defense, our nation has for far too long acted in a manner contrary to liberty; it is illogical to assume one can protect liberty by violating it." Rep. Paul said the inconsistency of the program was brought closer to home just prior to his grandson's 18th birthday. His grandson received a card in the mail from Selective Service reminding him to register. "By sending him the card, the government demonstrated that even without registering they knew who he was, how old he was and where he was. Selective Service is a needless program." The bipartisan vote was to defeat an amendment to the Veterans Administration/HUD appropriation package that would have restored full funding to the Selective Service program, funding that was removed by the legislation. Besides saving several hundred million dollars, Members of Congress recognized the wisdom of such men as the late US Senator Robert Taft and former President Ronald Reagan. Senator Taft once said, "A compulsory draft ... is far more typical of totalitarian nations than of democratic nations. The theory behind it leads directly to totalitarianism. It is absolutely opposed to the principles of individual liberty." President Reagan said, "[T]he most fundamental objection to draft registration is moral... a draft or draft registration destroys the very values that our society is committed to defending." In addition, a Department of Defense report found that Selective Service could be ended "with no effect on military mobilization requirements, little effect on the time it would take to mobilize, and no measurable effect on military recruitment." Instead, Rep. Paul said, military recruitment and retention would be greatly improved by ending the practice of putting American troops in harms' way when there is no national security interest at stake, while at the same time improving benefits and living up to commitments made to veterans. eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/thepentagonguru http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

And the two different teams of engineers must have been from different countries.,, How can they admit to such stupidity?How is it that we can accept it? I must have missed somethinglet me read it again Peter WHY MARS ORBITER WAS LOST NASA announced Thursday September 30th the likely reason the Mars Climate Orbiter was lost. On September 23rd, the spacecraft apparently passed only 60 km from the Martian surface, rather than the planned close approach of 140 to 150 km. Engineers consider 85 km the minimum safe altitude for a flyby. A preliminary investigation revealed that a mismatch of figures occurred because one team of engineers had used English units of measure while another used metric. Edward Weiler, NASA's Associate Administrator for Space Science, explained, "People sometimes make errors. The problem here was not the error, it was the failure of NASA's systems engineering, and the checks and balances in our processes to detect the error. That's why we lost the spacecraft." Two panels continue to study the mission failure. The next mission in queue for the red planet is Mars Polar Lander, which arrives December 3rd. We are about to go on a Journey.

-Caveat Lector- from http://www.theonion.com/onion3535/disgruntled_ninja.htm DISGRUNTLED NINJA SILENTLY KILLS 12 CO-WORKERS [Image] Above: A 1996 photo of Azuma Copier employees, including Tenchumaru (center). SKOKIE, IL--Toshiro Tenchumaru, a 34-year-old ninja and longtime employee at Azuma Copier Corporation in Skokie, stealthily took the lives of 12 co-workers Monday after suffering what investigators theorize was "a breakdown due to job-related stress." The disgruntled ninja was later captured by police while attempting to flee on foot across telephone lines. Tenchumaru, who, according to office manager Diane Ellsworth, had been "unusually quiet lately, even for him," was reportedly deeply upset about his worklife. Following a 9 a.m. staff meeting in which management discussed the possibility of eliminating Tenchumaru's position as Special Secretary For Nocturnal Liquidation, the ninja rose, gave a shallow bow and returned to his shadowy cubicle. Ellsworth said that shortly thereafter, she and other employees could hear what sounded like a Shinto death-consecration ceremony, as well as "sharpening sounds," coming from Tenchumaru's cubicle. The first deaths are believed to have occurred just minutes later. "After the meeting, I was having lunch in the company cafeteria with Eric [Miller], James [von Lustbader] and Frank [Clavell]," office comptroller Timothy Marzano said. "I looked down for a moment to take a bite of my sandwich, and when I looked up, Frank's head had been cut off and placed on his tray, Eric had been sliced in half so neatly that his hair was still in place, and there was blood dripping from the ceiling directly above James' chair." Von Lustbader's dismembered body was later found inside the ceiling. Sales supervisor Irene Young, whose cubicle was directly across from Tenchumaru's and who on several occasions had questioned the wisdom of having an office ninja, was the next victim, killed instantly when a single thrust from a razor-sharp _ninjato-katana_ sword pierced her cubicle wall, sheared through her computer monitor, and plunged through her heart. Tenchumaru then snapped the neck of associate marketing coordinator Donald Brodhagen, shredded the body of office manager Meg Whalen with 18 throwing stars, and used his Butterfly Soul Razor technique to stop the heart of office intern Ian Dallas long enough to drive the intern's nose through his brain with a single punch. After killing Dallas, Tenchumaru ran along the tops of cubicles to reach the office of senior sales supervisor Leonard Haller, who was hit with eight arrows from Tenchumaru's _saisumimen_, a whisper-quiet recurved bow of ancient design and unparalleled craftsmanship. "Tenchumaru's first arrow severed Haller's vocal cords, silencing him without hitting any of the major arteries or veins in the neck and without penetrating deeply enough to touch the spinal column," Skokie Police Department ballistics expert Ken Draper said. "An arrow was then fired into each of the seven _henzoitoichi_, or major nerve clusters, of Haller's body. Though the hits themselves were not fatal, the excruciating pain killed Haller within 10 seconds." Four more Azuma employees were later found dead, two of them eviscerated, one garrotted and one impaled upon cunningly folded quarterly report folders. Forensics experts said none of the bodies seemed to indicate that the victims were aware of the ninja's presence at the moment of death. Tenchumaru was relatively new to America, having been transferred from the Azuma Ninja Clan's mountain headquarters in Japan's Hokkaido Prefecture to Skokie in December 1998. Following the brutal slaying of his Grandmaster at the hands of a rival school, Tenchumaru requested permission to perform the Ritual of Blood Revenge, but was transferred to the Skokie office instead. Co-workers said that despite Tenchumaru's quiet demeanor, he would occasionally voice dissatisfaction with his work environment. "He didn't say much. Half the time, I didn't even know he was around," payroll secretary Georgette Billups said. "But when he did talk, it was usually to complain about how hard it was to get a decent cup of tea around the office, or how he shouldn't have to listen to Tim [Marzano] because he wasn't a _daimyo_ warlord, and how the copy machine lacked the beauty and _shibumi_ of hand-brushed calligraphy. But I honestly didn't think it would come to this. I mean, he was basically a shy guy." Tenchumaru has issued a statement through his lawyer asking that he be allowed to perform ritual _seppuku_ suicide in his cell. He also requested that Senjuro Akechi, master of _Myojinsoga_-style swordsmanship and CEO of Azumacorp East, be his second in the ceremony. Copyright (c) 1999 Onion, Inc., All rights reserved.

[CTRL] HMO Racketeering
-Caveat Lector- Judge Dismisses Racketeering Suit By MICHAEL RUBINKAM .c The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A consumer group plans to appeal a judge's dismissal of one of the first lawsuits in the nation to accuse a health maintenance organization of racketeering. The lawsuit said Aetna Inc. promised quality medical care, but encouraged widespread cost-cutting and penalized doctors who didn't increase their patient load. The lawsuit, filed in April on behalf of nearly 6 million Aetna customers, claimed the abuses were so widespread they constituted a pattern of fraud. U.S. District Court Judge John P. Fullam this week agreed with Aetna, the nation's largest health insurer, which admitted that its advertising claims of being committed to ``maintaining and improving quality health care'' were ``mere puffery,'' but didn't amount to fraud. Fullam on Wednesday rejected the plaintiffs' argument that ``in every case, individual physicians ... will be moved to put their own economic interests ahead of their patients' welfare.'' Even if that happened, the fault would be with the doctor, not the HMO, the judge said. The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, a California-based consumer group representing the plaintiffs, called the decision a ``temporary setback.'' ``The fact that the nation's largest health care company admitted in this litigation that its commitment to quality health care was 'mere puffery' is a devastating admission that we intend to fully explore,'' foundation president Harvey Rosenfield said Friday. ``It's going to have a tremendous impact on this company's reputation and ability to service the marketplace.'' An Aetna spokeswoman did not return a call for comment Friday. The company's U.S. Healthcare unit, based in Blue Bell, Pa., provides health insurance to 21 million Americans. The Aetna case was one of the first to accuse an HMO of racketeering, a charge originally aimed at organized crime. A similar lawsuit filed under federal racketeering laws against U.S. Healthcare in 1988 also was dismissed. A series of Supreme Court rulings over the past two years have permitted a broader use of racketeering laws and allowed more lawsuits by people who claim to have been harmed by a pattern of illegal activities.

And I know a lot of my readers and listeners to my radio program may be shocked. But people who have known me over time know that I'm someone who evolves in public. That is, when I start changing my mind about something or discover new information or some truth about my own life or life in general, I'm usually pretty straightforward about the process with my colleagues and my fans. The first event that caused me to rethink my position on this topic was the shootings in Atlanta, where a man went into two office buildings and gunned down total strangers, then killed himself in his car later that day. I thought about the difference it might have made - lives saved instead of lost - if someone in one of those offices had been armed. The murderer might well have been foiled in his reign of terror before so many innocent people died. That thought caused me to remember a time several years ago when I felt completely safe in my hometown of Los Angeles. It was after the major earthquake in 1994, and the National Guard was everywhere. There they were, it seemed, on every corner - uniformed, armed, ammunition slung across their chests, ready. As I recall, there was absolutely no crime in Los Angeles at that time - no break-ins, no holdups, no car-jackings. Nada. The bad guys obviously didn't want to risk getting shot. I went on the air then and said, "Gee, why can't these guys just stay here?" and everyone freaked out. Now, I knew then and know now that that's not what the National Guard is for, but it was nice to feel so secure for those few weeks. In thinking about the difference an armed civilian or security guard might have made in Atlanta, I thought back to my trip to Israel this summer and how many people walking around, especially on the West Bank, were armed out of a genuine and persistent need to protect themselves. No one was shooting. There was no display of firepower or anything like that. It was just taken for granted. I know that's a unique situation, because from its inception Israel has been under constant attack by neighboring countries as well as terrorists. So they have a demonstrable need for self-defense. We, on the other hand, are self- destructing. We don't need an external force. We are breeding our own evil here. Child killers, killer children, private militias, home-grown and imported terrorists, to say nothing of old-fashioned, garden variety psychopaths and criminals - all armed and dangerous and now encouraged, educated in evil and joined in unholy conspiracy on the World Wide Web. There are obviously lots and lots of reasons why our society - once so revered and respected around the world - is unraveling and degenerating. But one of them is the unbridled

Have 8 million New Yorkers been chosen as the lab rats in an ongoing bio-medical research project? Is Mayor Giulianiis bizarre mass daily spraying of toxic pesticides on NYC part of an experiment or a response to a virus that already escaped from the lab? Is the mosquito epidemic merely an excuse to get people used to being sprayed with chemicals from the air? Is the timing of todayis NY Times and yesterdayis Daily News articles on this lab setting us up for some bad news about what is really behind the encephalitis scare? Please note: birds are a major part of the experimenting that goes on at the lab right now. Birds are also exactly where mosquitoes get the encephalitis virus. While a mosquito may not easily fly from Plum Island to Queens a bird can do it without any problem. Do the people of NY deserve answers before any more spraying is undertaken? The NYC Dept. of Health, the Dept. of Environmental Protection and the Mayoris Emergency Management Services team are unable to explain their total lack of air sampling on the distribution of Malathion and the other two poison gasses being used. They claim they are using three ounces of Malathion per acre yet the planes make repeated passes over the same area meaning they have no idea how much of the chemical is being dropped per City block.

The Agriculture Department already operates here at Plum Island, just across Gardiners Bay from the wealthy Hamptons, a laboratory where such dreaded foreign animal diseases as foot-and-mouth and African swine fever are examined. But the department is seeking $75 million this year and $140 million over the next two years to upgrade the center to handle even more dangerous animal diseases that can affect humans. While there are four civilian and military laboratories in America equipped to study such diseases -- technically known as Biosafety Level Four facilities -- their work is focused on germs that primarily affect humans, not domestic animals or plants. Officials say the proposed expansion and upgrading of Plum Island is part of a new effort by the Clinton Administration to deter terrorists who might spread germs to destroy American crops or livestock for political purposes or financial gain, a threat they now see as equal to that of terrorist attacks aimed at people. "Given the contribution of crop and animal exports to the nation's prosperity, we must do far more to protect our plant and animal resources," said Senator Richard G. Lugar, the Indiana Republican and co-author of legislation in 1991 and 1996 that provided money to bolster defenses against unconventional terrorism and stop the proliferation of such weapons. "This is not about food per se; Americans would not go hungry if we were attacked," said Floyd P. Horn, the administrator of the Agricultural Research Service, who helped persuade the Administration to include his agency in January in its counter-terrorism plans and programs. "But such an attack, or even a credible threat, would severely disrupt America's economic and social infrastructure for weeks, if not months or years." Plum Island, which was once operated by the United States Army Chemical Corps, was designated as an animal-disease research center and transferred to the Agriculture Department in the early 1950's. It is already what scientists call an agricultural "Biosafety Level Three" center, which means that its containment areas, which hold germs dangerous to animals, have filtered air, sealed doors and negative air pressure that prevents germs from leaking out of the labs. Liquid waste is decontaminated. All who enter the labs wear white lab coats and slippers. After leaving the containment

Save us from preachy prime ministers and backsliding bishops
To judge by the government's recent pronouncements, one could be forgiven for
thinking that children need to be taught to read primarily so that they can
study the latest pamphlet to help them cope with the problems of Parenting.
Meanwhile, the main aim of mental arithmetic is apparently to enable little
Jack to calculate how much of his pocket money he would be fined by the Child
Support Agency for impregnating Jill.
In launching his crusade to find a 'new moral purpose' for the nation in
September, Tony Blair and education secretary David Blunkett emphasised the
importance of the government's plans to teach children New Labour's values of
good citizenship. In the age of education, education and education, it seems
that the new three Rs of teaching are to be responsibility, responsibility and
responsibility. So much for 'the happiest days of your life'.
At once pious and pompous, Blair's announcement of a moral crusade revealed a
nervous political elite staring into the hole at the heart of New Britain; a
country where, the fearful government seems to imagine, young people copulate
in the streets after dark while their slovenly parents worship at the altar of
Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Yet for all the bold talk by Blair and his
apostles, their initiative also betrays a loss of nerve about how to fill the
spiritual vacuum.
It is easy enough to declare the need for a new moral purpose in a Sunday
newspaper interview; it is a very different matter to work out what that might
mean in practice and win public support for it. So the government is happy
enough to prescribe lectures, curfews, homework and cold baths for 12-year olds
who cannot answer back. But in the same breath, ministers will emphasise that
they are 'not here to preach to adults' about how they live their lives. As we
used to say to bullies before the school counsellors cornered the market: why
don't you pick on somebody your own size?
If there is one thing worse than a moralising prime minister, however, it is an
archbishop with the principles of a backsliding politician. When Tony Blair
returned from his Continental holiday and called for a moral crusade, Britain's
church leaders looked at him as if he had imbibed too much vin rouge. What
seemed to upset leading churchmen was not the rather vacuous character of Mr
Blair's crusade, but the fact that he had dared to suggest that it might be
okay to make any judgements at all, and to teach people something about right
and wrong.
Dr Carey, the Archbishop of Canterbury, issued a 'friendly warning' to the
prime minister. 'Morality cannot be imposed', he warned his friend, 'and
archbishops are living proof of this. You just cannot say to people, "This is
what you must do".' This was quite a remarkable statement coming from the
leader of the established Christian church in Britain. After all, isn't there
something in the Bible about telling people 'This is what thou shalt and shalt
not do'? Or perhaps the latest rewrite of the scriptures has replaced the 10
commandments with an awareness campaign designed to help people make informed
lifestyle choices.
The old Tory prime minister Harold Macmillan once famously suggested that
politicians should leave preaching to the bishops. The bishops have now told
our preachy prime minister not to expect any back-up from them. It is one thing
for politicians to court popularity by claiming that they don't want to preach
to people. But when archbishops themselves eschew the pulpit, there is
something more than spin at stake. Dr Carey's nervous response to Tony Blair's
crusade confirmed that even those who supposedly speak with authority from on-
high have become infected by the epidemic of non-judgemental relativism now
plaguing society.
The churches typify the way that old-fashioned British institutions (from the
Tory Party and the TUC to the monarchy and the police) are desperately trying
to redefine their role in changing times. What all of them have in common is an
inability to hold the line. As people have lost faith in traditional
Christianity, the churches have retreated from religious principles and moral
absolutism in a bid to make themselves appear more 'relevant' to the real
world. In Britain AD (After Diana), the Church of England in particular has
adapted to the self-obsessions of new-age spirituality, its leaders speaking in
the new tongues of eco-speak and psychobabble. Fear and judgement are out,
feelings and empathy are in.
Take the question of funeral rites, over which the church and its symbols have
long exercised something of a monopoly. Last year the Bishop of Salisbury
announced that, henceforth at C of E funerals, mourners would be encouraged to
place teddy bears on coffins and to talk about how they feel. Then the General
Synod of the Church of England proposed that

Re: [CTRL] mind control victim - may be triggering for survivors
-Caveat Lector- Hi ! "Mind Control Victim Awarded $1 Million" published 6/99 by Uri Dowbenko is available at: http://208.138.42.193/forum/a37ef8e1f479f.htm I apologize if this is a repeat for anyone. Sincerely, Neil Brick All crimes are alleged. U.S. government mind control programs, like MK-Ultra and Monarch, directed against helpless victims--human guinea pigs--have been virtually ignored by the Big Media Cartel. On Feb. 27, 1999, however, U.S. District Court Judge Warren Urbom found former Franklin SL manager Lawrence E. King guilty of numerous crimes committed against mind control victim Paul A. Bonacci. King, serving a 15-year sentence for his role in the theft of $40 million from Franklin, an Omaha, Neb., credit union, was ordered by Judge Urbom to pay Bonacci $800,000 in compensatory damages and an additional $200,000 in punitive damages. This legal judgement against a notorious perpetrator of satanic-ritual child abuse is unprecedented. In the Memorandum of Decision, Judge Urbom wrote, "King continually subjected the plaintiff [Bonacci] to repeated sexual assaults, false imprisonment, infliction of extreme emotional distress, organized and directed satanic rituals, forced the plaintiff to 'scavenge' for children to be a part of the defendant King's sexual abuse and pornography ring, forced the plaintiff to engage in numerous sexual contacts with the defendant King and others and participate in deviate sexual games and masochistic orgies with other minor children. "He [Bonacci] has suffered burns, broken fingers, beatings of the head and face and other indignities by the wrongful actions of the defendant King," the judge declared. "In addition to the misery of going through the experiences just related over a period of eight years [1980-1988], the plaintiff has suffered the lingering results to the present time. "He [Bonacci] is a victim of multiple personality disorder, involving as many as 14 distinct personalities aside from his primary personality," wrote the judge. "He has given up a desired military career and received threats on his life. He suffers from sleeplessness, has bad dreams, has difficulty holding a job, is fearful that others are following him, fears getting killed, has depressing flashbacks, and is verbally violent on occasion, all in connection with the multiple personality disorder and caused by the wrongful activities of the defendant King." Monarch Project The horrendous Monarch Project "refers to young people in America who were victims of mind control experiments run either by U.S. government agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency or military intelligence agencies," writes DeCamp. "The story told by Monarch victims--one of whom was Paul Bonacci--is that they were tortured for the purpose of creating 'multiple personalities' within them," DeCamp continues from his book. "These multiple personalities could then be programmed--as spies, 'drug mules,' prostitutes or assassins." An article by Anton Chaitkin, quoted in the book, states that "professionals probing the child victims of 'Monarch' say there are clearly two responsible elements at work: the government/military, and cooperating satanic (or more exactly pagan) cults. These are multi-generation groups, whose parents donate their own children--who are proudly called 'bloodline' or simply 'blood' cultists--to be smashed with drugs and electric shock and shaped. Other children are kidnapped and sold into this hell, or are brought in gradually through day care situations. "Paul Bonacci and other child victims have given evidence in great depth on the central role of Lt. Col. Michael Aquino in this depravity," continues Chaitkin. "Aquino, alleged to have recently retired from an active military role, was long the leader of an Army psychological warfare section which drew on his 'expertise' and personal practices in brainwashing, Satanism, Nazism, homosexual pedophilia and murder." DeCamp's victory in court and the million dollar judgement is a vindication of mind control survivors Paul Bonacci, Alisha Owens and others who were falsely imprisoned to keep them from testifying against their abusers. Police and FBI Cover-Up According to the sworn testimony of Noreen Gosch, an activist on behalf of "Missing Children," whose own 12-year-old son Johnny, a West Des Moines, Iowa paperboy kidnapped in 1991, was drugged and sold into prostitution and pornography. There was no law on the books in Iowa or most any other state in the country specifying that the police would have to act sooner than 72 hourseven though we had five witnesses that could describe the car, the man and various details of the kidnapping. So I wrote the first piece of legislation which became the Johnny Gosch Bill. Gosch also alleges that the FBI were active in quashing a TV expose. Just prior to the Americas Most Wanted story going on the air within a week or two of airtime, the FBI in Quantico, Virg. contacted Americas Most

The press fakers said his glider somehow fell apart in the air, killing him. Some believe he was among the small group of admirals and generals that have since 1995 sought to arrest their Commander-in-Chief Clinton for treason. If Clinton arrested them for mutiny, they intended, if they survived and were not assassinted, to defend themselves at Courts Martial charging HIM with documented treason which they had.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit PLOT TO ASSASSINATE VICE PRESIDENT GORE? by Sherman H.Skolnick, moderator/producer, public access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" in Chicago and chairman/founder, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts Two or more airplanes were all headed reportedly for a crash with Air Force Two carrying Vice President Albert Gore, Jr., as his plane flew over the Chicago area. The incident apparently occurred July 9, 1999, but was kept embargoed, that is, delayed or suppressed, until an eleven paragraph story ran in the Chicago Sun-Times, July 14, 1999. So far, others in the mass media have steered clear of the story? Why? Like the murder of President Kennedy, were the mass media either informed in advance or ordered how,if at all, to run the story? One of two major newspapers in Chicago, the Sun-Times is owned by British tough-nose financier Conrad Black jointly with reportedly mysterious Red Chinese and ethnic Chinese billionaires who have an unpublicized armlock on the Chicago markets. Their fortunes based reportedly on dope smuggling into the U.S. primarily through Chicago, of high purity heroin called "China White", clandestine weapons deals, and the harvesting of human body parts sold to U.S. hospitals. The body parts, sold as casually as auto pieces, are from political prisoners in mainland China arbitrarily condemned to death as the orders come in for hearts, livers, kidneys, and such. [So as not to damage the human body parts, the political prisoners are not shot but rather, beheaded.] The illicit funds are a massive river of loot reportedly laundered on the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Although an open secret, major newspapers, such as the Sun-Times, and other financial papers like the Wall Street Journal, publish virtually nothing about the Chinese and the Chicago money laundries. The Chinese funds are disguised as soybeans and foreign currency trading. Are the Chinese through the Sun-Times story blackmailing Clinton into silence about nuclear secrets sold or given to the Chinese? Under a a headline "Quirk of radar jars VP's plane", the Sun-Times had details such as "Gore was in the government 747 traveling from Seattle back to Washington when the pilot received urgent instructions from air traffic controllers to make a jarring 60 degree turn to avoid a crash. Radar showed a second plane 25 miles away--only a couple of minutes apart--at the same 33,000-foot altitude and in conflict with the vice president's aircraft. Air Force Two was traveling about 600 m.p.h." According to other sources, the FAA and the Sun-Times are reportedly concealing that yet a third plane likewise almost crashed into Gore's plane. Aviation sources familiar with air traffic control say they never heard of a situation where two or more airplanes were all headed for a crash with another plane. Foul play, they contend, should rightfully be suspected when two OR MORE airplanes were all somehow steered into a possibe crash with the Vice President's plane. Here are some other factors that assassination researchers would consider: 1. Reportedly fronting for the Chinese in Chicago in the reputed clandestine deals as well as blackmail and extortion, is Rahm Emanuel, for many years Clinton White House Senior Advisor and now a heavy-hitter with Wasserstein Perrella, Chicago

[CTRL] Dr. Hulda Clarke arrested, Oct4 arraignment San Diego
-Caveat Lector- If you are interested in the right to make your own decisions about your healthcare options, this might be a good time to begin to take a stand. It's time that the large number of Americans who are disenchanted with government malfeasance in favor of large pharmaceutical firms make themselves heard. We cannot afford to remain silent while alternative medical researchers are rounded up and jailed, and while herbs and other simple, inexpensive and safe alternatives are suppressed or even criminalized in order to safeguard the profits of Monsanto, Searle, Ciba, Novartis, and other purveyors of poisons biotech/biowar.Pressure is being brought to bear in many arenas of government. Options In Health Care -- Emergency Alert! PLEASE HELP What constitutes healing? Who is deciding what constitutes healing and what are they basing their decisions on? 70 year old Dr. Hulda Clark, Ph.D., N.D. has been arrested and is being held in a facility in San Diego, CA, awaiting extradition to Brown County, Indiana. She has been charged with practicing medicine without a license by the District Attorney's office of her former place of residence. Dr. Clark, best known for her books The Cure For All Cancers and The Cure For All Diseases, as well as for her invention of the "Zapper," has been a public figure intently dedicated to spreading knowledge of healing techniques, and going against conventional medicine's monopoly on health care. Her arrest is an example and a warning to all Americans of the problem we collectively face: a health care system with few real options for treatment, fueled by greed, and fraught with criminality. There is substantial indication of possible systematic suppression of alternative therapies that threaten the interests of conventional medicine. There is an underground railroad of people in this country who have dedicated their lives to health and healing, and to the fight for freedom for real options in health care. Increasingly, these people who are in truth trying to help people, are being persecuted by a system which arbitrarily decides what is effective and legal treatment. These decisions often seem to be based on what is clearly profitable, as in pharmaceutical companies and their drugs, rather than what may be the most beneficial. (*Indiana law states effectiveness of treatments is not a defense. Does this help the public?*) More and more people in this country are becoming highly disillusioned with our health care system, and for very valid reasons. It is not enough to await slow and cumbersome legislation on the national level, which is unlikely to address the real issues. Dr. Clark's troubles represent but a small part of a gross problem in this country, and bring us to a higher platform. It is time to ask the most pertinent questions. What constitutes healing? Who is deciding what constitutes healing and what are they basing their decisions on? Why do we have so few real options in health care? Why are people who are going against the grain, and trying to establish footing in alternative rather than conventional medicine, more and more often finding themselves in trouble? Why are herbal supplement companies faced with regulation by the FDA that puts a stranglehold on their industry? Why are people who are selling health products on the Internet increasingly being investigated? What organizations are being formed by our government to enforce strict, impossible and arbitrary regulations, and to ensure a monopoly on health care? (If you have any information regarding this issue please write ASAP). WE NEED YOUR HELP. If you are familiar with Dr. Clark's work, and would like to support us in her defense, the following are ways in which you can help. 1) We will need as many letters and phone calls as possible. If her research has benefited your health, please help us by sharing this information. Addresses and phone numbers to follow in second post. 2) There is going to be a hearing for her on Monday morning in San Diego. We are asking everyone who wants to support Dr. Clark, and is able, to come to the courthouse at 220 W. Broadway, downtown San Diego, 2nd floor, Department 12, 8:35am Monday October 4. Please join in the fight for freedom in health care! If you feel you are being unfairly attacked or investigated for your work in health care, and are willing to share your story, please write. If you have any information or evidence suggesting unethical connections between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies, please write. If you work in the health care or herbal supplement industry, and are facing regulations that would effectively stifle your work, please write. If you have stories, regarding successful treatment by suppressed therapies, please write. If you can contribute in any way possible to a collective fight to increase our freedom in health care, please do! This is a very complex and difficult situation we find ourselves in. Clearly

Nicky Alan DeWalton wrote: I try not to get involved in "date-setting" nor in "numerology", however I thought the following might be of interest just to show how occult-oriented religio-eco-political manipulators may themselves be involved in this kind of astrological/occult input when it comes to deciding what and when they are going to accomplish some of their agendas. Sincerely; Al EXCERPTS from [UFOpals] ENDTIME predictions (fwd) http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1260.cfm Antichrist will deliberately set out to "fulfill" each of the Messianic prophecies and expectations. EXPLANATIONS OF THESE DATES December 6, 1999 was carefully chosen because of several occult factors. 1) This date produces two (2) sets of '666' . Remember, occultists believe that numbers have inherent power, either to support your plan of action, or to oppose it. They believe a good plan can be unsuccessful simply and only because it was implemented on date(s) which did not add up to the right numbers. Since this date is in December, the 12th month, and because 12 is 6 + 6, the month itself provides two (2) 6's. Then, the day of the month provides the third 6 to produce a '666'. The second set of 666, is provided by the three (3) nines in the year, 1999. Satanists have always viewed a 9 simply as an upside down 6; therefore, the last three digits of the year provide the second set of '666'. 2) The Moon is in the right phase.When a witch wants to perform a "good, positive" spell or event, he or she will carry this event out during a Full phase or nearly full phase of the Moon. However, when the witch wants to perform an "evil, negative" spell or event, he will carry this event out during an Empty, or nearly empty, phase of the Moon. As you can see from the above Moon Phase Chart for December 6, 1999, the Moon is nearly empty. In fact, December 6 is only one day before the absolutely empty New Moon. 3) This new star will occur during the time period leading up to Christmas , possibly enabling the Illuminati to stage one of the largest stage productions ever in conjunction with the annual celebration of the Christ Child. As part of this star lighting up, a recreation of the trip of the Magi 2,000 years ago may be reenacted. Just as these new "Magi" are within a matter of days of reaching Bethlehem, this star may suddenly appear in the sky. Listen to the words of apostate author and leader, Jay Gary, writing in his book, The Star of 2000 . "Now as we approach A.D. 2000, the spiritual journey of the wise men could be reenacted before our eyes ... with horses and camels over the original Middle East route." [p. 23-4] March 6, 2000 was chosen for the appearance of Antichrist because of several occult factors. 1) This date is precisely 13 weeks after an extremely bright star had been created by the lighting of Jupiter . The number 13 is an extremely important number to the occultist. The occult gematria of numbers lists Number 13 as meaning, "Depravity and Rebellion" [Doc Marquis, Former Illuminist Witch]. The Bible confirms this meaning of the number 13. Remember, Illuminists plan to bring about the New World Order by utilizing the most depraved and blackest of all Black Magick witchcraft, so this time period between the advent of the Jupiter Star and the appearance of Antichrist fits perfectly. 2) The Moon Phase is absolutely correct. Once again, when you check March 6, you will see that the moon is the blackest possible, i.e., the New Moon. Since the appearance of Antichrist is going to be the blackest day in human history,we find it only fitting that the Moon Phase would be the blackest possible. This date may very well see the most powerful Black Magick witchcraft in world history, as the Man of Perdition appears. 3) The planets in our Solar System are lined up in a favorable way according to occult Astrology . Satanists are huge believers in Astrology. They would never think of staging the appearance of their beloved Antichrist unless the Astrological signs are most favorable. This lineup is most favorable. We checked the lineup of the planets in our Solar System on December 6, 1999, and found no discernable lineup; but there is a significant lineup on March 6, 2000. When you look at this chart, bear in mind that this astronomy program which we used Beginning in January, 2000, the universe continues to exit the Zodiac House of Pisces and will begin entering into the House of Aquarius. This lineup of 8 planets [Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Neptune] is called a Grand Alignment in Astrology. This Grand Alignment will be the first to occur in this new House of Aquarius, making it a most propitious

Cover story - Women don't deserve to be on top
Cover story
Fay Weldon
Monday 27th September 1999
When 101 female MPs were elected two years ago, we thought history was
made and politics would change. We were wrong, writes Fay Weldon On that
euphoric morning we thought we'd got there. Women had breached the final
bastion of male power. In the face of our gorgon stare, politics itself
had capitulated. That was 2 May 1997. Through the seventies, eighties and
nineties we had put on hard hats and pushed and pushed, out of housewifery
and into the professions - medicine and law were the first to go - to
become engineers and architects, to run businesses and quangos, to be top
bitch in museums and opera houses; we were in the City - trusting women
with money had been a real problem for the men - and now finally this: we
had got to the heart of the evil empire, politics itself. One hundred and
one female Members of Parliament. We were to transform not just the House
of Commons but the nation itself. The world. Those of us who thought women
had special virtues men had not - such as common sense, tenderness and an
instinct for negotiation - saw a new dawn of reason and justice throughout
the land: there would be no more locking of male antlers, pointless
confrontation, sleaze, backbiting, boring the public by blaming the
previous administration. (Men have a great capacity for blaming others:
women tend to go too far the other way.) And what happened? What did you
do? You did what women always do: you fell in love. En masse, you fell in
love with Tony Blair. From the very first morning, you were collectively
known as Blair's Babes, and rightly so. You don't resist or deny the
title: it makes you feel cosy and safe and female; you belong. I'm not
carping or complaining, only noticing. I wouldn't be any different.
Feminists (and more than four-fifths of the new women MPs described
themselves as such, but these days it's a difficult thing to deny) always
were their own worst enemy. In the early days of the movement, it was just
the same. Activists kept falling for men and losing their judgement. Aware
of it, they tried to cure themselves by turning into political lesbians
but they could never hold out for long. It was back in the end to the male
bed, the male hothouse. So what's changed? Now it's yes Tony, no Tony,
smile at me, Tony. How wise and wonderful and powerful you are, Tony - and
Alastair Campbell's pretty good- looking, too. Blair's Babes, on message,
day and night, in the hope of a kind word or a fleeting glance and a spot
of promotion. At least, that's how it's coming over. Open your pretty
mouths and a sound-bite learnt by heart flows out. Look, I'm not saying
the men have done any better - when Margaret Thatcher was in power, gender
got her male cohorts in the same way - but that's not my point here. I'm
talking to those MPs with bosoms and bums who are ruled by oestrogen and
the cycles of the moon, not men with hairy chins and legs and testosterone
surging in their veins. Let them look after themselves. When you think
about it, the women who make the worst photographs make the best
politicians: they're the ones we know and trust, who carry the people with
them. Mo Mowlam, Clare Short - though since she found her son and
consented to a make-over and turned pretty she's been somewhat sidelined -
and Ann Widdecombe. Yes, I know she's officially a Tory, but out here in
the real world we do have a problem telling both parties apart. The few
wilder sequinned sexy sisters on board do pretty well. Diane Abbott's
terrific. But the moment you others get nicely coiffed and smartly
skirted, you turn into bleating hypocritical sheep, spouting a party line
you don't necessarily believe. You're worth more than that. Tear your hair
and rend your clothes, if that's what it takes. Hypocritical? Yes, I do
say that. You and your war on drugs: there's a Canadian woman in Eastleigh
women's prison doing 11 years for importing marijuana, and what's that I
smell in the Stranger's Bar? I think drugs are loathsome, personally, but
the answer is not to take them. Then legislate. "Morality is not about
words, it's about setting examples." (Tony hasn't said that yet, but it's
the kind of thing he says.) We had such high hopes. Back in May 1997, the
electorate's complaint about the Conservative Party was that it talked to

[CTRL] New Anti-Discrimination Laws from CA Gov. Gay Davis
-Caveat Lector- "In the third of three gay-rights bills, the governor signed legislation to block job and housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The bill places authority over the cases in the state's Fair Employment and Housing Department, a key state civil rights agency." Unfortunately, here in San Francisco, there are many clear-cut, yet untouchable, cases of "reverse discrimination," since (1) the major alternative to pricey apartment rentals, "roommate referral services," permit the "master tenant" in shared housing to dictate that all subtenants be gay or lesbian ONLY -- which, alas, applies to MOST roommate opportunities here, and (2) most temp employment agencies and a goodly percentage of corporations doing business here have Human Resources directors who are gay or lesbian and who hire ONLY gays or lesbians unless it can't be avoided. What LEGAL recourse do heterosexuals have in such cases, when excluded from job and housing opportunities on the basis of THEIR sexual orientation? NONE, 'cuz any objection to discrimination BY homosexuals elicits the crocodile-tears catcall of "homophobia" and is regarded as somehow a violation of gay/lesbian "equal rights" ... "Equal opportunity" for all? Hardly -- some groups are MORE equal than others. Calif. Outlaws Gay Harassment SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Gray Davis on Saturday signed legislation to outlaw the harassment of gay students and teachers in public schools and colleges, calling the action an attempt to ``beat back the forces of hatred.'' The Democratic governor also signed into law a new state domestic partners registry for couples who are gay or over age 62, extending to them hospital visitation rights and allowing state and local government workers to get health benefits for their partners. And in the third of three gay-rights bills, the governor signed legislation to block job and housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The bill places authority over the cases in the state's Fair Employment and Housing Department, a key state civil rights agency. But it was the legislation banning discrimination against gay students and teachers that drew the most attention. Three other states - Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Connecticut - have similar antidiscrimination rules. ``Finally, a political leader has taken meaningful action. This is the most important piece of legislation ever passed in regard to gay-lesbian youth rights,'' said Kevin Jennings, executive director of the national Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.

Paying the price for personal politics
By Edward Said
After giving a lecture last week in honour of the late Eqbal Ahmad at
Hampshire College, the small Massachusetts university he taught at for the last
15 years, I was approached by a young Palestinian couple with a six-month-old
child. "Have you heard," they both asked me in very disconcerted tones, "that
Arafat just spent the night at Barak's house?" When I said that I hadn't,
expressing very little surprise, I was taken aback at how strongly they found
the whole idea so objectionable. "Doesn't he have any pride?" they asked
rhetorically. "How far does he intend to go in conceding himself and his people
to pacify the Israelis?" It's at moments like those that you realise how
totally identified Arafat is in most people's mind with the cause of Palestine,
the peace process, and the currently sad condition of our people. Instead of
seeing him as I think he is, a man victimised by his own vulnerability and
selfishness, he is regarded as the embodiment of his people's surrender and
humiliating defeat. Hence the young couple's sense of pain and revulsion that
we seem to have sunk so far as to have lost our essential dignity as a people.
I grant of course that they overreacted, but I do not think their feelings
should be discounted or dismissed at all: they represent the sentiments of many
ordinary Palestinians whose acute, profound awareness of continual loss is
aggravated, rather than assuaged, by the peace process.
Certainly anyone who knows anything about the Middle East and has followed the course
of the peace process knows the enormous extent to which Yasser Arafat has made the
fate of his people, from its smallest daily details
to the major issues of its destiny and short-range future, almost entirely his
own. The Israelis and Americans have undoubtedly played their hands with this
in mind, but so too have all the other Arab and European governments, plus
international institutions like the World Bank and IMF whose continued support
to the peace process is based on, and indeed completely deeded to, him, his
person, his ideas, his commanding influence, which is somehow presumed to be
permanent. Thus it is with many charismatic leaders: Nasser, Roosevelt, Nehru,
Caesar Augustus, Napoleon, Lincoln, Lenin, Tito, Mandela. The difference
between Arafat and all of them is that, as time goes on, it has become
increasingly difficult to say what Arafatism actually is, what its ideas, what
its vision and contents are made of. No one at all doubts that the Palestinian
situation today is indelibly marked by his command of it, and that his style --
which, in a perceptive biography of Arafat, Said Abu Rish devastatingly
characterises as a mix of sloppiness, improvisation, lack of study or
preparation, and secrecy -- has simply overwhelmed everything in its path.
Not for nothing, then, did strong, principled individuals like Shafiq Al-Hout,
Haidar Abdel-Shafi, Hanan Ashrawi, Abdel-Mohsen Qattan, and a small handful of
others who had been close to him move decisively away. There were limits in
conscience and principle that they couldn't go beyond, limits where absolute
loyalty to him demanded that they be overstepped, but which as individuals they
could not. Look carefully at who is left at his side, from the ministers,
employees, business backers, and outright paid hacks who do his bidding and
sing his praises at the drop of a penny: hardly any of them can be considered
strong or persons of integrity and honesty. Even so, of course there are
subordinates in his ministries, embassies abroad, and party cadres who are good
people and who feel that they must stick it out and fight for what they
consider to be beneficial for the Palestinian cause and people, from within
Arafat's camp. Leaving these people aside, Arafat is the one person everyone
obeys, the man who calls the tune and pays the piper. All the rest submit, even
though some of them grumble very loudly and criticise his untidy ways
unrelentingly. Yet they continue to serve him and to stay among the ranks of
the negotiators, bureaucrats, ministers, informers and security men who
currently make up the Arafat machine. He alone is in charge. He alone decides
what is to be done. His critics have long been accused of "personalising" what
they write or say about him, making it seem that to focus on him is the
equivalent of a personal grudge. In fact that, like so much else in the PLO, is
entirely his doing. Everyone knows that whether it is a decision on the peace
process or permission to repair a car or a request for vacation, Arafat must
sign a paper or otherwise directly give his approval. No one else knows where
the money is, where it came from, and where it is spent except he. Others may
know some things, but only the chairman can see -- and therefore control -- the
whole picture.
In this, over the years he has consistently and,

[CTRL] On the Transition
AAA P.O. Box 11331 Eugene, OR 97440 On the Transition Postscript to Future Primitve by John Zerzan "Yeah, the critique is impressive and everything, but just how might we actually get from this ghastly world to some healed, whole existence?'' I think we should not doubt that such a journey is possible, nor that the explosion necessary to begin it may be approaching. The thought of the dominant culture has, of course, always told us that alienated life is inescapable. In fact, culture or civilization itself expresses this essential dogma: the civilizing process, as Freud noted, is the forcible trading of a free, natural life for one of unceasing repression. Today culture is in a dispirited, used-up state wherever one looks. More important than the entropy afflicting the logic of culture, however, is what seems to be the active, if inchoate resistance to it. This is the ray of hope that disturbs the otherwise all-too-depressing race we witness to determine whether total alienation or the destruction of the biomass will happen first. People are being stretched and beaten on the rack of everyday emptiness, and the spell of civilization is fading. Lasch referred to a near-universal rage abroad in society, just under the surface. It is growing and its symptoms are legion, amounting to a refusal to leave this earth unsatisfied. Adorno asked, ``What would happiness be that was not measured by the immeasurable grief at what is?'' Certainly, the condition of life has become nightmarish enough to justify such a question, and perhaps also to suggest that something started to go deeply wrong a very long time back. At least it ought to be demonstrating, moving on toward specifics, that the means of reproducing the prevailing Death Ship (e.g. its technology) cannot be used to fashion a liberated world. Saul Bellow's Mr. Sammler wondered, ``What is `common' about the common life? What if some genius were to do with `common life' what Einstein did with `matter'? Finding its energetics, uncovering its radiance.'' Of course, we must all be that `Einstein', which is exactly what will unleash a creative energy sufficient to utterly refashion the conditions of human existence. Ten thousand years of captivity and darkness, to paraphrase Vaneigem, will not withstand ten days of full-out revolution, which will include the simultaneous reconstruction of our inner selves. Who doesn't hate modern life? Can what conditioning that remains survive such an explosion of life, one that ruthlessly removes the sources of such conditioning? We are obviously being held hostage by capital and its technology, made to feel dependent, even helpless, by the sheer weight of it all, the massive inertia of centuries of alienated categories, patterns, values. What could be dispensed with immediately? Borders, governments, hierarchyWhat else? How fast could more deep-seated forms of authority and separation be dissolved, such as that of division of labor? I assert, and not, I hope, in the spirit of wishing to derive blueprints from abstract principle, that I can see no ultimate freedom or wholeness without the dissolution of the inherent power of specialists of every kind. Many say that millions would die if the present techno-global fealty to work and the commodity were scrapped. But this overlooks many potentialities. For example, consider the vast numbers of people who would be freed from manipulative, parasitic, destructive pursuits for those of creativity, health, and liberty. At present, in fact, very few contribute in any way to satisfying authentic needs. Transporting food thousands of miles, not an atypical pursuit today, is an instance of pointless activity, as is producing countless tons of herbicide and pesticide poisons. The picture of humanity starving if a transformation were attempted may be brought into perspective by reference to a few other agricultural specifics, of a more positive nature. It is perfectly feasible, generally speaking, that we grow our own food. There are simple approaches, involving no division of labor, to large yields in small spaces. Agriculture itself must be overcome, as domestication, and because it removes more organic matter from the soil than it puts back. Permaculture is a technique that seems to attempt an agriculture that develops or reproduces itself and thus tends toward nature and away from domestication. It is one example of promising interim ways to survive while moving away from civilization. Cultivation within the cities is another aspect of practical transition, and a further step toward superseding domestication would be a more or less random propagation of plants, a la Johnny Appleseed. Regarding urban life, any steps toward autonomy and self-help should be realized, beginning now, so that cities may be all the more quickly abandoned later. Created out of capital's need to centralize control of property transactions, religion, and political domination, cities remain as

[CTRL] Biotech News: Industry claim torpedoed, no higher yields, POORER nutritional content.
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart ... Biotech News, by Richard Wolfson, PhD Reprinted with permission from the October 1999 issue of Alive: Canadian Journal of Health and Nutrition, 7436 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, BC V5J 5B9 Biotech Soybeans Deficient New research shows that genetically engineered (GE) soybeans may be less potent sources of phytoestrogens than their conventional precursors. The research, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food (Vol. 1, no. 4, 1999), reported an overall reduction in phytoestrogen levels of 12-14 percent in genetically altered soybeans, compared to non-GE varieties. Soy foods are recommended largely for their dietary phytoestrogen content. This research refutes claims that genetically engineered foods are 'substantially equivalent' to their non-GE counterparts. Genetically engineered herbicide-resistant soy is already on the market in Canada, unlabelled and mixed in with conventional varieties. Industry Claims Torpedoed New research by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that biotech crops do not produce higher yields or result in reduced pesticide use, as claimed by industry. American experts studied biotech soy, corn, and cotton across huge tracts of the U.S. farming belt, where both GE and non-GE varieties were being grown. The researchers found no increase in yields from GE crops in 12 of 18 areas. In some areas, conventional varieties produced yields 10 percent or more higher than comparable GE varieties. In 7 of 12 areas studied, farmers growing biotech varieties used at least the same amount of pesticide as those growing traditional crops. Farmers growing Roundup Ready (herbicide-resistant) soybeans used 2 to 5 times more herbicide per acre, compared to the other popular weed management systems with non-GE soybeans. The research shoots down arguments that Frankenstein foods could help stop hunger in the Third World, or are more environmentally friendly. Roundup Linked to Cancer A recent study published in the Journal of the American Cancer Society (March 15, 1999) showed that exposure to the herbicide glyphosate results in increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer. Glyphosate, commonly known as Roundup, is the world's most widely used herbicide. Seventy-one percent of biotech crops planted in 1998 (including biotech soy, canola, and corn) were genetically engineered to be resistant to glyphosate or other herbicides. Herbicide resistant crops allow increased use of these toxic chemicals to kill weeds. Marks Spencer First to go GE-Free Marks Spencer, one of UK's largest food chains, announced that it has become the first major UK retailer to go completely genetically-engineered food free. From July 1, all MS foods were produced without GE ingredients or derivatives. More than 5,000 ingredients made from soy and corn were checked and changes were made to 1,800 recipes to strip all products of GE ingredients or derivatives. FDA Ignored Warnings Records from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reveal that in approving genetically engineered foods, the agency ignored some of its own scientists. These people repeatedly cautioned against GE foods because of unexpected and untested toxins and allergens. For instance, Dr. Louis Priybl of the FDA Microbiology Group, stated "There is a profound difference between the types of unexpected effects from traditional breeding and genetic engineering which is just glanced over in this document." He added that several aspects of gene splicing "...may be more hazardous." Codex Fails to Approve Hormone At a recent Codex (the international food regulating body) meeting in Rome, governments failed to agree on an international standard on genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (BGH). BGH is widely used in USA, where it injected into cows to increase milk production. BGH is not allowed in Canada or EU due to concerns for both human and animal safety. Failure to agree on Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for BGH means that individual governments will maintain their freedom to decide whether to allow BGH in their countries. Consumers International applauded the decision not to approve BGH internationally as a victory for the health and safety of consumers. .. Greenpeace and Council of Canadians Expose Food Industry Double Standards On Genetically Engineered Food Toronto, September 27 /CNW/ - Greenpeace and the Council of Canadians today called on the country's food retailers and producers to give Canadians the same environmental and health protection that Europeans receive and take genetically engineered (GE) foods off retail shelves. At a news conference in front of a Loblaws supermarket, the organizations released documents from ten international food companies who have taken genetically engineered ingredients out of their products in Europe, but refuse to do so in Canada. The companies
