SECTION III CHRISTIAN IDENTITY Christian Identity is an ideology which asserts that the white Aryan race is God's chosen race and that whites compromise the ten lost tribes of Israel. There is no single document that expresses this belief system. Adherents refer to the Bible to justify their racist ideals. Interpreting the Book of Genesis, Christian Identity followers assert that Adam was preceded by other, lesser races, identified as "the beasts of the field" (Gen. 1:25). Eve was seduced by the snake (Satan) and gave birth to two seedlines: Cain, the direct descendent of Satan and Even, and Able, who was of good Aryan stock through Adam. Cain then became the progenitor of the Jews in his subsequent matings with the non-Adamic races. Christian Identity adherents believe the Jews are predisposed to carry on a conspracy against the Adamic seed line and today have achieved almost complete control of the earth. This is referred to as the two-seedline doctrine, which provides Christian Identity followers with a biblical justification for hatred. EXCERPT FROM PAGE 14 And by the way, "watcher".. I missed your original post, so I have no clue as to what you were originally attempting to express.

[CTRL] Fwd: 10 Reasons to Dismantle the WTO
10 Reasons to Dismantle the WTO By Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman Add a new constituency to the long list of World Trade Organization (WTO) critics which already includes consumers, labor, environmentalists, human rights activists, fair trade groups, AIDS activists, animal protection organizations, those concerned with Third World development, religious communities, women's organizations. The latest set of critics includes WTO backers and even the WTO itself. As the WTO faces crystallized global opposition -- to be manifested in massive street demonstrations and colorful protests in Seattle, where the WTO will hold its Third Ministerial meeting from November 30 to December 3 -- the global trade agency and its strongest proponents veer between a shrill defensiveness and the much more effective strategy of admitting shortcomings and trumpeting the need for reform. WTO critics now face a perilous moment. They must not be distracted by illusory or cosmetic reform proposals, nor by even more substantive proposals for changing the WTO -- should they ever emerge from the institution or its powerful rich country members. Instead, they should unite around an uncompromising demand to dismantle the WTO and its corporate-created rules. Here are 10 reasons why: 1. The WTO prioritizes trade and commercial considerations over all other values. WTO rules generally require domestic laws, rules and regulations designed to further worker, consumer, environmental, health, safety, human rights, animal protection or other non-commercial interests to be undertaken in the "least trade restrictive" fashion possible -- almost never is trade subordinated to these noncommercial concerns. 2. The WTO undermines democracy. Its rules drastically shrink the choices available to democratically controlled governments, with violations potentially punished with harsh penalties. The WTO actually touts this overriding of domestic decisions about how economies should be organized and corporations controlled. "Under WTO rules, once a commitment has been made to liberalize a sector of trade, it is difficult to reverse," the WTO says in a paper on the benefits of the organization which is published on its web site. "Quite often, governments use the WTO as a welcome external constraint on their policies: 'we can't do this because it would violate the WTO agreements.'" 3. The WTO does not just regulate, it actively promotes, global trade. Its rules are biased to facilitate global commerce at the expense of efforts to promote local economic development and policies that move communities, countries and regions in the direction of greater self-reliance. 4. The WTO hurts the Third World. WTO rules force Third World countries to open their markets to rich country multinationals, and abandon efforts to protect infant domestic industries. In agriculture, the opening to foreign imports, soon to be imposed on developing countries, will catalyze a massive social dislocation of many millions of rural people. 5. The WTO eviscerates the Precautionary Principle. WTO rules generally block countries from acting in response to potential risk -- requiring a probability before governments can move to resolve harms to human health or the environment. 6. The WTO squashes diversity. WTO rules establish international health, environmental and other standards as a global ceiling through a process of "harmonization;" countries or even states and cities can only exceed them by overcoming high hurdles. 7. The WTO operates in secrecy. Its tribunals rule on the "legality" of nations' laws, but carry out their work behind closed doors. 8. The WTO limits governments' ability to use their purchasing dollar for human rights, environmental, worker rights and other non-commercial purposes. In general, WTO rules state that governments can make purchases based only on quality and cost considerations. 9. The WTO disallows bans on imports of goods made with child labor. In general, WTO rules do not allow countries to treat products differently based on how they were produced -- irrespective of whether made with brutalized child labor, with workers exposed to toxics or with no regard for species protection. 10. The WTO legitimizes life patents. WTO rules permit and in some cases require patents or similar exclusive protections for life forms. Some of these problems, such as the WTO's penchant for secrecy, could potentially be fixed, but the core problems -- prioritization of commercial over other values, the constraints on democratic decision-making and the bias against local economies -- cannot, for they are inherent in the WTO itself. Because of these unfixable problems, the World Trade Organization should be shut down, sooner rather than later. That doesn't mean interim steps shouldn't be taken. It does mean that beneficial reforms will focus not on adding new areas of competence to the WTO or enhancing its authority, even if the new areas appear desirable

[CTRL] FBI Terrorist Threat Advisory for Seattle WTO meeting
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave From: Michael Novick [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ANSIR Email Threat to World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Meeting in Seattle, Washington, 11/29/99 through 12/3/99. National Security Division, Washington, D.C. The following message is an FBI Terrorist Threat Advisory for the Domestic United States only. This advisory will remain in effect for the duration of the WTO Meeting at which time it will expire automatically unless extended by the FBI. This Awareness of National Security Issues and Response (ANSIR) communication is intended for corporate security professionals and others who have requested to receive unclassified national security threat information from the FBI. This communication is not a press release and may not be republished in any public format without specific authorization from the National ANSIR Program manager at FBIHQ. You may forward this advisory to those in your association, company, or other colleagues in the security profession as deemed appropriate. Media requests should be directed to the WFO media representative, Special Agent Susan Lloyd. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is holding a ministerial meeting in Seattle, Washington from November 29, 1999 through December 3, 1999. The meeting will be attended by approximately 8,000 people, including delegates from 135 member nations, individuals from non-member observer nations, representatives of corporate sponsors, and the press. Many groups in opposition to the WTO have stated that they will be present in Seattle during the WTO Conference and plan to hold a number of activities including seminars, teach-ins, parades, and street protests. The FBI has received credible information that some elements within the protest community are planning to disrupt the conference. The FBI assesses the potential threat of violence, to include criminal acts of civil disturbance, as low to medium for the Seattle area during the time frame of the WTO Meeting. In particular, environmental or animal rights extremists or anarchist-induced violence should be considered a possibility during the meeting. There are also strong indications that computer-based attacks on WTO-related web sites, as well as key corporate and financial sites, will take place to coincide with the opening of the WTO meeting. Cyber-protests are likely to generate Denial of Service attacks, disruptions or alterations of web pages, and "virtual sit-ins." Corporate sponsors of the WTO may be subject to surveillance efforts from these groups. The purpose of the surveillance is to identify the residences of key employees of sponsoring corporations. At this time the FBI has no specific information regarding which corporations or individuals may be selected for surveillance. Security officers of corporate sponsors and companies attending the conference are advised to brief the appropriate employees that they may be selected for surveillance prior to, and during the conference. These employees should remain alert for individuals who may be targeting them in furtherance of anti-WTO activities. If vehicle surveillance is detected, individuals should take no direct action and drive to the nearest police station. Individuals believing they may have been targets of surveillance activities should contact the FBI office ANSIR Coordinator at the number listed below. Activities requiring immediate law enforcement response should be directed to the appropriate local authorities. Recipients should remain sensitive to threats made by anti-WTO groups. In recent years, protest activity has occurred in New York City and other American cities in conjunction with high profile international conferences taking place outside the United States. * Special Agent Gary Harter, Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FBI Washington Field Office/NVRA ANSIR Coordinator 7799 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, Va. 22043 Phone: 703-762-3024, Fax: (703) 762-3446 * In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.

[CTRL] The Jerusalem Syndrome - Israeli Culture (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- From: http://israeliculture.about.com/library/weekly/aa112299.htm The Jerusalem Syndrome Dateline: 11/22/99 The Jerusalem Syndrome strikes with little warning: After a few days in the holy city, seemingly normal pilgrims imagine they are biblical figures, sing psalms at the top of their lungs, preach to passers-by or dress up in hotel bedsheets. From the Rick Ross website. The Messiah is here. And so is King David, and Deborah the Prophetess as well. Walking through the labyrnith of alleyways in Jerusalem's Old City, or even through the crowds of the Ben Yehuda Street mall, you are liable to come across a singing, guitar-playing youth, prophesizing the approaching Day of Judgment. The phenomenon is not on every street corner yet, but the End-of-the-World-is-Near symptoms are real, and growing more worrisome as the year 2000 approaches. Known as the Jerusalem Syndrome, the temporary psychiatric condition characterized by patients believing that they are biblical figures such as Jesus, John the Baptist, or Moses, has long been known to Israeli psychiatrists. The phenomenon was identified in the 1930s by Dr. Heinz Herman, the father of Israeli psychiatry, but was only labeled as the Jerusalem Syndrome in the last two decades. Usually temporary, the condition affects religious pilgrims - mostly Christian, - who begin to exhibit strange behavior after arriving in Jerusalem. While touring the city's holy sites, they begin proclaiming that they are ancient religious figures sent on a mission. This year, the phenomenon has been occurring more frequently. As the new millennium approaches, a number of Christian pilgrims, who fervently believe that the Second Coming of Jesus is going to play itself out on the Mount of Olives in the coming months, have developed the symptoms of the syndrome. An upcoming visit to Israel by Pope John Paul II, officially set for March, could bring more religious fanatics to Israel. The Jerusalem Syndrome has concerned authorities as well. In June, Jerusalem Municipality officials, medical experts and clergymen met in the capital to discuss the growing possibility of pilgrims being affected with "Jerusalem Syndrome" while visiting Israel in the year 2000. An extreme prediction was made by Dr. Yair Barel, the doctor responsible for Jerusalem's mental health portfolio. According to one source, Dr. Barel said that as many as 40,000 pilgrims who visit Jerusalem next year may come down with the syndrome, with nearly 600-800 requiring hospitalization. Some of these patients could possibly pose a danger to the public. What happens when a seemingly normal tourist envisions him/herself as a biblical prophet and begins singing Psalms and preaching to passersby, occasionally wrapped in no more than a hotel sheet around themselves? Kfar Shaul is the duty psychiatric hospital for tourists who display mental health disturbances. Currently there are hundreds of visitors from all over the world hospitalized in Kfar Shaul. Sixty-six percent of the patients are Jews, 33 percent are Christians (this number includes patients hospitalized for other mental health problems as well). Many patients who suffer from the Jerusalem Syndrome have a previous history of mental disturbance. Some have just forsaken their prescribed medical regime, and the symptoms they show during their Israeli visit are easily dissipated by returning to their prescribed drugs. Others have had no prior problems at all. In many cases, the patients have no recollection afterwards of their street corner preaching, and are quite embarrassed by the attention they have drawn. Among the short-term treatments used to treat the Jerusalem Symptom are medications and therapy. Sometimes no one in the hospital speaks the patient's language. The more extreme cases have turned Kfar Shaul's staff into detectives, to determine the identities and locate the families of the patients. Up until a year or two ago, about twenty tourists were hospitalized annually in Kfar Shaul for symptoms of the Jerusalem Syndrome. During this past year, the number has risen to about 50 patients a month. Why does Jerusalem attract religious fanatics? Jerusalem psychiatrist, Dr. Jordan Scher, claims that many disturbed people flock to Jerusalem to be immersed in the special spiritual atmosphere that imbues the capital, especially the Old City. Christians view Jerusalem as the site of the Armageddon and the Second Coming. Their visits to the city can bring out the cognitive dissonance between their mental picture of the city of Jesus and the reality of the modern city. Religious Jews with the syndrome believe that the building of the third Temple is imminent, that the rituals of animal sacrifices will soon be restored, and that their own Messiah is due to arrive. Crazed fanatic visitors have caused serious damage in recent years. The El Aksa Mosque on the Temple Mount was burnt in 1969 by Dennis Rohan, a deranged young Australian Christian

[CTRL] [Fwd: Why are we in debt?]
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: Why are we in debt? Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 22:20:22 -0600 (CST) From: Michael Eisenscher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: ? To: undisclosed-recipients:; All the nations of the world are in debt. But who do we owe the money to? National debts: UK £400 billion Canada $650 billion Germany DM 500 billion Japan$ two trillion USA $ five trillion "the richest nation in the world is seeking to increase output simply to remain financially viable, whilst the poorest nations, who desperately need to improve their domestic agriculture and industrial infrastructure, are orienting their economies towards a glutted world market - all this being driven by monetary considerations." "International trade has degenerated into a competition between nations to alleviate their indebtedness, rather than a process involving a mutually beneficial exchange of goods and services." The Grip of Death http://cfoss.com/grip.html "The Grip of Death: a study of modern money, debt slavery and destructive economics" by Michael Rowbotham (Jon Carpenter Publishing, 1998) The author has given permission for circulation of this introductory chapter on the Internet. Claire Foss [EMAIL PROTECTED] "'The Grip of Death' is a literal translation of 'mortgage', when the owner of a house pledges his or her house to another with a handshake ...unto death." Chapter 1: The debt-based financial system When a profession fails to deliver, people inevitably suffer. When that profession happens to be the study and practice of economics, the entire world suffers. The deluge of social and environmental problems brought on by humanity's endeavours to be 'economic' suggest that the economics profession is not just failing - its advice is proving mind-bogglingly destructive. Our government officials, political economists and newspaper columnists appear intellectually content with the current arrangements, oblivious to the depth of the crisis that economics presents to the world. They still happily argue about the dangers of 'overheating' or needing to 'cool off ', as if an economy that functions along the lines of a domestic boiler or kitchen toaster provides an acceptable basis for co-ordinating human activity. They also appear perfectly satisfied to continue with 'business as usual', without questioning the most startling and contradictory statements issuing from the world of money and economics. For example, every country in the world suffers from a massive and constantly increasing national debt. Britain has a national debt that is fast approaching £400 billion. Canada's debt has reached $650 billion and Germany's now exceeds 500 billion deutschmarks. So are these poor countries? No more so than Japan with a debt equivalent to two trillion dollars or America with a national debt now in excess of five trillion dollars. Since the poorer nations are crippled by their indebtedness to international lending institutions and foreign banks, the overall picture is of a world suffering acute and ever worsening insolvency. But this is really quite illogical and absurd... The question almost asks itself. If all the nations of the world are in debt, who are they in debt to? Rationally, where there is a debtor, there should be someone else who is a creditor. If every nation is in debt, who, precisely, owes whom? In addition to the logical absurdity of all nations being simultaneously insolvent, such escalating national debts are a complete contradiction of the real and obvious wealth of these nations. This is underlined by the fact that the nations which run the largest national debts are those with the most advanced economies. What can we say to the developing nations struggling under the burden of their debt, nations who have copied our economic institutions and aspire to a life free from poverty? 'Work hard, and one day your debt will be as small as America's - a mere five trillion dollars!' These are not the only contradictory financial statements to go virtually unchallenged by the majority of economists. In addition to mounting national debts, the level of private debt shouldered by people and businesses is also escalating. The total of loans, mortgages, overdrafts and credit card purchases is massive and in Britain stands at some £780 billion, £500 billion of which is borne by ordinary people. The Americans, supposedly the richest citizens ever to walk the face of the planet, are the most heavily indebted people of the world, carrying mortgage debts that currently total $4.2 trillion. They are said to go shopping with their credit cards bolstered. As with national debts, such escalating domestic debt is a complete contradiction of the wealth present in

J. (Army Mobility Equipment Command) Published: Jun 01, 1980 Corporate Source: Army Mobility Equipment Command (Fort Belvoir, VA, United States) Pages: 10 Contract Number: None NASA Subject Category: LIFE SCIENCES (GENERAL) Abstract: A decoy and deception concept presently being considered is to remotely create the perception of noise in the heads of personnel by exposing them to low power, pulsed microwaves. When people are illuminated with properly modulated low power microwaves the sensation is reported as a buzzing, clicking, or hissing which seems to originate (regardless of the person's position in the field) within or just behind the head. The phenomena occurs at average power densities as low as microwatts per square centimeter with carrier frequencies from 0.4 to 3.0 GHz. By proper choice of pulse characteristics, intelligible speech may be created. Before this technique may be extended and used for military applications, an understanding of the basic principles must be developed. Such an understanding is not only required to optimize the use of the concept for camouflage, decoy and deception operations but is required to properly assess safety factors of such microwave exposure.

[CTRL] [13] The Great Heroin Coup
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Great Heroin Coup - Drugs, Intelligence, International Fascism Henrik Kruger Jerry Meldon, Translator South End Press©1980 Box 68 Astor Station Boston, MA 02123 ISBN 0-89608-0319-5 240pps - one edition - out-of-print Orginally published in Danish Smukke Serge og Heroien Bogan 1976 --[13]-- THIRTEEN THE FATEFUL DAYS: A CHRONOLOGY OF THE HEROIN COUP "We have turned the corner on heroin," declared a proud Richard Nixon after the massacre of the Corsican Mafia. But shutting off the pipeline of heroin from Marseilles did not produce the shortage he predicted. Except for a brief period in 1973, the supply increased, tremendously. By 1975 the heroin glut far surpassed even that of the Corsican heyday of the late sixties. According to a 1977 report of the House Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse, heroin addiction had doubled in four years. One year later New York's special narcotics prosecutor, Sterling Johnson, Jr. stated: "There is more dope on the streets now than at any time since the late sixties and early seventies, when we had an epidemic going. We've got another epidemic, and more critical."[1] When the heroin flow from Marseilles was shut off in 1972-73, two new sources of supply immediately filled the vacuum. Southeast Asia -Laos, Burma and Thailand -suddenly produced vast amounts of white no. 4 heroin, the type that supposedly could only be produced by Marseilles chemists. The high quality heroin went primarily to the 40 percent of all U.S. heroin addicts who were living in New York, and who were accustomed to Marseilles heroin. The other new source was Mexico. But its product, the less pure "brown sugar," served mainly to regulate the market and to generate new customers. The remarkable switch from Mirkey-Marseilles-U.S.A. to Southeast Asia-Mexico-U.S.A. shifted billions of dollars and the power that comes with it. Such a market revolution could not have happened without astute planning and direction, which demanded political savvy and political cooperation. The plans for this tremendous heroin coup were on somebody's drawing board before Nixon and Georges Pompidou met in early 1970. They were made long before Attorney General John Mitchell and French Justice Minister Raymond Marcellin met in Paris on 26 February 1971, when they signed the antinarcotics agreement that led to the eradication of the Corsican drug Mafia. Most probably they were in place by 1968. The occurrence of such a conspiratorial heroin coup is, of course, a hypothesis. In the following chapters I will trace the logic and the likelihood of its having transpired. Involved in one way or another in the planning, the execution, or both, were: President Nixon and part of the White House staff; Meyer Lansky's corporate gangster syndicate-in particular its Cuban exile wing run by Florida capo Santo Trafficante, Jr.; the Cuba/China lobby; ultrareactionary forces in Southeast Asia, primarily the Kuomintang Chinese on Taiwan and in the Golden Triangle; and intelligence and law enforcement factions of the CIA and BNDD/DEA. It was, needless to say, not a willful conspiracy of all the above. But we can assert with reasonable certainty that the CIA, Trafficante, and other mafiosi, certain Southeast Asians, and some people in the White House must have been in the know. The plan took three years to execute. Though the major maneuvers began in 1970, one could detect the opening skirmishes soon after Nixon's election victory in 1968: * Henry Kissinger put pressure on Paraguay to extradite Auguste Ricord, the main Corsican supplier of narcotics to the U.S. market.[2] Paraguay's President Alfredo Stroessner at first chose to ignore that pressure.[3] * In 1968 the Mafia's premier heroin importer, Santo Trafficante, Jr., travelled to Southeast Asia to check out possibilities for a new supply network involving Chinese opium merchants.[4] When he made the trip, the Corsican Mafia was supplying Trafficante with all the no. 4 heroin he could sell. * Nixon and Pompidou met in January 1970 to restore close Franco-American partnership. It was a crucial step in the destruction of the French narcotics apparatus that controlled 80 percent of the heroin trade. * At the start of July 1970, White House staffer Egil Krogh proposed Operation Heroin, a major action against the narcotics smugglers. His idea was approved. * U.S. Mafia capos held a summit July 4-16 at the Hotel Sole in Palermo, Sicily. There they decided to pour money into Southeast Asia and transform it into the main source of heroin.[5] * On 23 July 1970 Richard Nixon approved the Huston Plan to establish an espionage group that would supercede existing intelligence and enforcement agencies. The super-group was to be steered from the White House, thus giving the president effective control over all intelligence -including domestic spying on U.S. citizens. The plan fell through, mostly due to the opposition of J. Edgar Hoover. However, the White

When free elections chased his close friend and dictator Fulgencio Batista from office in 1944, Lansky also left the island, entrusting his empire to the Trafficante family headed by Santo, Sr. Lansky and Batista settled in Hollywood, Florida, just north of Miami. Before long, Lansky was running an illegal casino empire on the coast, and in 1947 he eliminated Bugsy Siegel and moved into Las Vegas. All the while Lansky expanded the narcotics trade founded by Lucky Luciano. The older Mafia dons deemed the trade taboo, so Lansky's wing of the Syndicate cornered the market, with Trafficante's eldest son, Santo, Jr., overseeing the heroin traffic.[1] When Florida's illegal casinos were shut down in 1950, Lansky promoted Batista's return to power in Cuba. The drive bore fruit in 1952. With Trafficante, Sr.'s death in 1954, Santo, Jr. became Lansky's right-hand man and manager of his Cuban interests. Until then, he had managed the Sans Souci Casino, a base for running Havana's tourist trade and keeping tabs on heroin shipments from Marseilles to New York via Florida and Cuba.[2] Trafficante, Jr. has proven more talented than his father. Extraordinarily intelligent and energetic, he has handled the most acute crises with detached calm. Luciano characterized him as ". . a guy who always managed to hug the background, but he is rough and reliable. In fact, he's one of the few guys in the whole country that Meyer Lansky would never tangle with."[3] In no time, Trafficante, Jr. ingratiated himself with dictator Batista, while remaining loyal to Lansky, who appointed him manager of his own Florida interests in addition to those in Cuba. Lansky needed to spend increasing amounts of time in New York, between travels to Las Vegas, Rome, Marseilles, Beirut, and Geneva. Many envied Lansky's ever-increasing power and wealth, among them Murder, Inc. chairman of the board Albert Anastasia. In 1957 the latter tried enlisting Trafficante's aid in removing Lansky from the Havana scene. It was one of Anastasia's last moves. Trafficante arranged a "friendly" meeting in New York's Sheraton Hotel. An hour after Trafficante had checked out, Anastasia was murdered in the hotel's barber shop, shaving cream still on his face.[4] According to Peter Dale Scott, "certain U.S. business interests collaborated with the narcotics-linked American Mafia in Cuba-as they did with similar networks in China and later in Vietnam -for the Mafia supplied the necessary local intelligence, cash and muscle against the threat of communist takeover.[5] As Scott wrote those words in 1973, Cuban-Americans recruited by the CIA were suspected by federal and city authorities to be "involved in everything from narcotics to extortion rackets and bombings."[6] The Church committee and other Senate and law enforcement reports would confirm these allegations. Again we observe the Cuba/ Southeast Asia/ CIA triangle, and it's no secret who managed the Cuban side. There Trafficante, Jr. hired the fast-learning natives, while dictator Batista's men made the empire safe for organized crime, often appearing more loyal to Trafficante than to Batista himself. In return the Cubans learned the business. With Fidel Castro's 1 January 1959 ouster of Batista, Lansky and Trafficante were in trouble. Though they were expelled from their Cuban kingdom, nearly a year elapsed before the Syndicate departed and the casinos were closed. Along with 'Trafficante and Lansky, half a million Cubans left the island in the years following Castro's takeover. Some 100,000 settled in the New York City area, especially Manhattan's Washington Heights and New Jersey's Hudson County. Another 100,000 headed to Spain, others to Latin America, and a quarter of a million made their new home in Florida, the site of Trafficante's new headquarters. Out of the Trafficante-trained corps of Cuban officers, security staffers and politicians, a Cuban Mafia emerged under the mobster's control. It specialized in narcotics, first Latin American cocaine, then Marseilles heroin. With his Cubans Trafficante also grabbed control of La Bolita, the numbers game that took Florida by storm and became a Syndicate gold mine.[7] Besides the Cubans, who comprised the main wing of his organization, Trafficante also worked closely with the non-Italian Harlan Blackburn mob, a break with Mafia tradition.[8] But the core of the Trafficante family remained Italian, and the Italians also dealt in drugs. In 1960 his man Benedetto "Beni

The time was the end of World War II. Amid the chaos of war, opium and gold became the primary media of exchange, and cult-like bonds were forged among a small staff of Americans and high-ranking Chinese. Yunnan was a center of Chinese opium cultivation and Kunming was the hotbed of military operations, among them Claire Chennault's 14th Air Force and Detachment 202 of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Among Detachment 202's notorious collection of special agents, one in particularE. Howard Hunt-has needed no introduction since the Watergate break-in. In Kunming, the spy novelist who later became a comrade of Cuban exiles and China Lobbyists befriended an equally intriguing character, the French Foreign Legionnaire turned OSS agent, Captain Lucien Conein.[1] Although not part of Detachment 202 proper, Conein frequented Kunming while awaiting parachuting over Indochina.[2] Indochina remained Conein's base of operation after World War II, when, like Hunt, he slid over from the OSS to its successor, the CIA. He then operated throughout South and North Vietnam, Cambodia, and Burma, and became the top U.S. expert on the area-as well as on the opium-smuggling Corsican Mafia. He was Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge's middle man in the 1963 plot to overthrow South Vietnam's President Ngo Dinh Diem (who was assassinated along with his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu, the Corsicans' partner in the drug traffic). A decade later, Conein and Hunt, working for the Nixon White House Plumbers, would attempt to make it appear that the plot had been ordered by JFK. Both Conein and William Colby, mastermind of the CIA's Phoenix assassination program, were recalled to the U.S. at the start of the seventies. After Mao Tse-tung's rise to power in China, OSS veterans formed a number of firms that would be linked both to the CIA and to its reactionary client regimes in the Far East. With financial assistance from his friends in Asia, OSS China hand C.V. Starr gained control of several U.S. insurance companies. As brought to light during the McClellan hearings, Jimmy Hoffa awarded one of them, U.S. Life, and a smaller company, Union Casualty-whose agents Paul and Allen Dorfman were among Hoffa's links to the underworld[3]a Teamsters Union contract despite a lower bid from a larger, more reputable insurance firm.[4] Starr's attorney was the powerful Washington-based Tommy "The Cork" Corcoran. Corcoran's law partner, William Youngman, was a director of U.S. Life. Corcoran's other clients included the United Fruit Company, Chiang Kai-shek's influential brother-in-law T.V. Soong, and the mysterious airline, Civil Air Transport (CAT), of which 60 percent was owned by the Taiwan regime and 40 percent by the CIA.[5] On behalf of United Fruit, Corcoran triggered a CIA plot in which E. Howard Hunt was the agency's chief political action officer to overthrow Guatemala's President Jacobo Arbenz in 1954.[6] OSS China hand Willis Bird settled in Bangkok, Thailand to head an office of Sea Supply, Inc., a CIA proprietary headquartered in Miami, which furnished weapons to opium-smuggling Nationalist Chinese (KMT) troops in Burma. One William Bird, representing CAT in Bangkok, coordinated CAT airdrops to KMT troops and ran an engineering firm that constructed short airstrips used for the collection of Laotian opimu.[7] Sea Supply also provided arms and aid to Phao Sriyanonda, the head of Thailand's 45,000-man paramilitary police force and reputedly one of the most corrupt men in the history of that corruption-ridden nation. For years his troops protected KMT opium smugglers and directed the drug trade from Thailand.[8] When President John F. Kennedy in 1962 attempted a crackdown on the most hawkish CIA elements in Indochina, he sought the prosecution of Willis Bird, who had been charged with the bribery of an aid official in Vientiane. But Bird never returned to the U.S. to stand trial. Upon returning to Miami, the OSS Chief of Special Intelligence and head of Detachment 202 in Kunming, Colonel Paul Helliwell, was a busy man.

[CTRL] [16] The Great Heroin Coup
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Great Heroin Coup - Drugs, Intelligence, International Fascism Henrik Kruger Jerry Meldon, Translator South End Press©1980 Box 68 Astor Station Boston, MA 02123 ISBN 0-89608-0319-5 240pps - one edition - out-of-print Orginally published in Danish Smukke Serge og Heroien Bogan 1976 --[16]-- SIXTEEN THE FRIENDS OF RICHARD NIXON Richard Nixon's connections to the Syndicate and its stooges are a matter of record. The only question is when they began. Some say it was 1946, when Nixon ran for Congress in California and Murray Chotiner, a top Syndicate defense attorney, ran his campaign with support from the gangster Mickey Cohen.[1] Others place the Nixon-underworld wedding as early as 1943, when Nixon was working in the Office of Price Administration, at a desk responsible for controlling the market in rubber goods. There he allegedly met his future pals George "The Senator from Cuba" Smathers and the Cuban-American Bebe Rebozo who later struck it rich in real estate. The two were then small time: Smathers a lawyer for a Syndicate front smuggling auto tires from Cuba, Rebozo the owner of a gas station that sold the tires.[2] The Florida clique was a happy family. Nixon liked to take fishing jaunts with the likes of Rebozo, Meyer Lansky's associate Tatum "Chubby" Wofford,[3] and Richard Danner, who would later manage the Sands casino in Las Vegas for Howard Hughes.[4] He also got to know people even closer to the Syndicate, who had extensive interests in Cuba. In 1952, one short month after the dictator Batista's comeback, Nixon and Danner joined throngs of tourists who unloaded their savings at one of the Syndicate's Cuban casinos.[5] Nixon would return frequently. He, Rebozo, and Smathers allegedly invested in the island during the fifties,[6] and in 1955, as vice president of the United States, Nixon would pin an award on Batista, with whom he was photographed in the dictator's palace. Nixon also helped plan the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1959. Chairing the 54/12 Group, a National Security Council subcommittee in charge of covert actions, the vice president pushed for the plan's approval before his 1960 presidential race against John F. Kennedy.[7] According to Howard Hunt, Nixon was the invasion's "secret action officer" in the White House.[8] President Eisenhower, who would later plead ignorance of the plan's extent, assumed it was limited to support for anti-Castro guerillas in the mountains.[9] When JFK took over the oval office, he was presented with a fait accompli. If Eisenhower was really left out in the cold on the plan's magnitude, then William Pawley must have been among Nixon's co-conspirators. As mentioned earlier, Pawley talked Eisenhower into arming the anti-Communist Cubans.[10] Pawley was and would remain one of Nixon's most ardent supporters.[11] When the invasion proved a bust, Nixon's voice was among the loudest accusing Kennedy of undermining it by refusing reinforcements. In the years that followed he continued to cultivate support among the Cuban exiles and other right wing constituencies. Cubans for Nixon and Asians for Nixon touted him as a man who would not forsake the cause of anticommunism. The Nixon of near-hysterical anticommunism would win additional allies in the Syndicate and in powerful business circles tied in with the military and espionge.[sic] Fortunately for Nixon, forces behind the above lobbies were also influential in organized labor, especially the Teamsters Union. Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa became a pawn of the Lansky syndicate, which borrowed millions from the union's pension fund. However, Hoffa's obsequiousness towards the Mob was dampened by Attorney General Robert Kennedy's aggressive investigation of Teamster policies. In 1967, prior to Nixon's decisive electoral campaign, Hoffa landed in jail with a thirteen-year sentence for misuse of union funds. The new Teamster strongmen, Frank Fitzsimmons and Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano, were friends of Nixon and in the hands of the Syndicate.[12] When Nixon pardoned Hoffa just prior to Christmas 1971, Hoffa had to promise to stay out of organized labor. In the sixties Nixon grew even closer to his friends in Miami, who by then had made millions in land speculation. Dade County north of Miami became known as "Lanskyville," as a string of seemingly legitimate real estate firms handled the Lansky Mob's enormous holdings. Among the more prominent firms were:[13] 1) The Cape Florida Development Co., run by Donald Berg and Nixon's pal Rebozo. The two worked closely with Al Polizzi, the former head of the Syndicate's Mayfield Road Gang in Cleveland, then in charge of the Syndicate's Florida contractors. An investigation into the placement of stolen securities at Rebozo's bank was nipped in the bud. 2) The Mary Carter Paint Co., which in 1967 became Resorts International, that now runs the world's most profitable casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and was purportedly the

-Caveat Lector- *** PLEASE SEND FAR AND WIDE!*** God created Adam and Eve! Nowhere is it written that He created Adam and Steve. -- Anonymous Warning: Parental discretion advised! An Open Letter to Pornographer Larry Flynt November 23, 1999 Mr. Flynt, Growing up, I hurt a few young women. You helped. We never met until our debate today on ABCs Politically Incorrect. I believe that you would rather mock these women than apologize to them. So Ill not cast pearls before swine by offering you the opportunity to express regret to them. I played Pee Wee and Little League baseball in Prospect Park, New Jersey. Two young liberals, Arty and Herbie, coached our team, called the Pirates. I never knew their last names. They would take some of us on camping trips. They provided the beer, the pornographic magazines, and the 8-track recordings of lesbian orgies. I soon found out that, like crack cocaine, pornography could consume a young mans life. I am responsible for everything I did to hurt others. And the adults who produced and provided the pornography are responsible also. You liberals lie. You say that no one has the right to interfere with consenting adults. However, liberals will not even let consenting adults work for less than minimum wage. That consenting lie covers for your real agenda. You despise people. You dont love women; you love their genitals. Liberals pass laws about everything from politeness to toilets, but say we cant legislate morality. While preparing for this debate, I noticed that even liberals registered disgust upon hearing your name. What they do not realize is that you personify liberalism; and their children are becoming like you. In one man, you embody the gross national product. Your autobiography explains you well. Your vulgar, alcoholic father became divorced from your mother. As a boy, you feigned sex with a 13 year-old girl, and now you have written an erotic description of that act. You want to legalize sex with animals, even though that behavior spoils the blood supply, brings disease and death. You plainly recount the time when you had intercourse with a chicken, and afterward, seeing the chicken bleed, you wrung its neck and threw it in the river. That homosexual man who performed oral sex molested you, whether you realize that or not. (You somehow forgot to point out the criminal nature of his action in your memoir.) You lost virginity as a young teenager to a prostitute. Congratulations. In a brief time, youve done everything liberals aspire to, you chicken molester. Liberals claim to protect workers. Yet OSHA permits contracts wherein porn stars only get their paychecks if they submit to having coworkers foreign bodily fluids injected into them. Her conditions of employment include taking a real chance of acquiring a fatal disease. Many of our worst contagions are sexually transmitted, producing terrible ailments like bareness and uterine cancer. Porn actresses

-Caveat Lector- .. Forwarded from the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: M.L.King murder reinvestigated Date: Monday, November 22, 1999 9:28 PM NOVEMBER 22, 20:51 EST Judge Cites Rifle in King Inquiry By WOODY BAIRD Associated Press Writer MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The judge who presided over confessed killer James Earl Ray's most recent try for freedom said Monday he does not believe the rifle identified as the one used to kill Martin Luther King Jr. was the murder weapon. Criminal Court Judge Joe Brown was called to testify in Civil Court where the King family is suing Loyd Jowers for wrongful death. Jowers is a retired Memphis businessman who has claimed he took part in a conspiracy to kill King. The Kings hope the trial, which began last week, will help answer lingering questions on whether the murder was the work of a lone gunman or a group of conspirators. The King family subpoenaed Brown and hoped his testimony would bolster the theory that someone other than Ray killed King. Brown, who was allowed to testify as a firearms expert, said the rifle found at the scene of King's murder in 1968, with Ray's fingerprints on it, was equipped with a scope that had not been properly sighted. A shooter, he said, ``could not hit the broad side of a barn'' with that rifle. Brown also said marks left on most of the test bullets fired from the rifle last year on his orders are different from those found on the slug taken from King's body. Ballistics experts testifying in Brown's court last year said those marks were of little significance. Ray argued for years that the rifle, which he purchased in Alabama and brought to Memphis, was dropped at the murder scene to frame him. His guilty plea was upheld eight times by state and federal courts. ``It is my opinion this is not the murder weapon,'' Brown said. Brown, who stars on a national TV show called ``Judge Joe Brown,'' presided over Ray's attempts last year to take back his guilty plea to killing King. Ray died of liver disease in prison. Brown ordered new tests on the rifle but they, and other tests over the years, were inconclusive. He was considering another round of tests when a state appeals court took him off the case because of prosecution claims he was biased toward Ray. It is unclear if Jowers, 73, will testify at the trial. The Kings seek unspecified damages if he is found guilty of taking part in the murder.

Re: [CTRL] The Real X-Files (TheSecret.txt)
-Caveat Lector- hi, Some may argue that science has not proven the actual existence of God. However, quantum mechanics (a discipline that explains the interaction of the various forces and energies that exist in an atom) has discovered another realm that is not physical or in the realm of space and time. Quantum mechanics emerged about 1925 led by the research of Albert Einstein (1879-1955) and Neil Bohr (1885-1962) who we will discuss later in this paper. I confess that I did NOT READ BEYOND this paragraph. Why ?? because Quantum Mechanics has a set of paradoxes in it. Why ?? because the research of albert einstein was incomplete why ?? because the michelson morley experiment, James clerk maxwell and others were misinterpreted. where has this led ? to a century of bad physics with no completed unified theory. what was the alternative ? Tesla's Theory of Environmental Energy why was it better ?? - it had NO PARADOXES. what has this to do with the article ?? Quantum Physics is full of Black Boxes things that work that we cannot explain - so we invent things to put in the black boxes such as ... 1. 'The particle leaps because [the black box] instructs it to' 2. 'The particle leaps because [the demon xool] instructs it to' 3. 'The particle leaps because [Klintoon] instructs it to' Tesla's Theory has no black boxes operated by Mickey Mouse so personally I think that the Conspiracy angle on this is to usher in a new dark age of barbarian magic based simply on the fact that the worlds 'best minds' are up a dead end. Hence such articles as this herald an end to Rationality ie. there are better models with no paradoxes to look at - but they won't either because they are too proud to admit they're wrong, or are being paid to turn a blind eye to real science or they really want to be Priestly Scientifik AlCkemists in funny robes with pointy hats. Either way - these people are happy to kill off science for the masses. Meanwhile NWO Black Budget Technology has no such problems with its space bound black triangles - they already use Tesla's stuff. unlike our kids in school that are now being forced to study hocus pocus written by the Jokers who wrote the God in the Black Box stuff that this article is promoting. They almost make it sound reverent - and it sounds like the stuff written by a masonic science foundation that I know of where Humanity could not hope to know everything but The Great Architect will 'Illuminate' the spaces that our puny minds cannot reach - fine - but they couldn't sell that to Tesla. And don't get me wrong either - I am certain God is in every corner of my universe - but it is only dark and ignorant people that claim Gods particle physics is one of the 'mysterious ways' that he she or it works in.

The Marines had the entire armed services' most decorated sniper attempt to duplicate the miraculous sequence of shots that killed Kennedy. Even using a stationary rather than moving target, firing from the same angle at the same distance, the military's top sniper could not hit the designated target accurately beyond the first shot, although equalling "Oswald's" speed in firing several shots, each time resighting. Do those facts, plus Oswald's poor performance on the firing range while he was in the Marines, support our belief that JFK died from an "amateur" hit by a "lone gunman"?

"I Was Right About Kovoso"
by John Laughland
The Spectator
11/20/99
"The guy's a complete asshole." Spectator readers, who are simple souls, may be
unfamiliar with the sophisticated legal terminology and carefully weighed
judicial arguments employed by the Spokesman for the International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the body upon which all future
international law and civilisation is to be based. Yet this was how Paul Risley
described your correspondent when confronted with a recent article in this
magazine on the low body count in Kosovo. In it, I alleged that the number of
Albanians massacred by Serbs had been inflated by Nato propaganda and that the
International Criminal Tribunal is so deep inside Nato's pockets as to make
kangaroo courts look like models of due process.
Last week, the Tribunal's Prosecutor, Carla del Ponte, made a statement to the
United Nations in New York to counter the article's allegations. She claimed
that the findings of the forensic investigators were helping to establish both
the total number of dead and the overall pattern of the killing. In fact what
the report establishes is both the overall pattern and indeed the detail of
the deception practised by the leading Nato governments.
In May 1999, at the height of the attacks on Yugoslavia, the US State
Department published a detailed report entitled "Erasing History, Ethnic
Cleansing in Kosovo." Its political impact was immense, contributing to the
indictment of Slobodan Milosevic and the other Yugoslav leaders. The report is
still available on the State Department's web site, suggesting that it remains
authoritative. But what the Tribunal's findings now prove is that the report
contained little but the wild imaginings or deliberate lies of the men and
women whose fingers are on the buttons of the world's most powerful military
alliance.
According to the State Department, the following massacres occurred: "Serbian
military and police forces reportedly killed as many as 350 ethnic Albanians in
Suva Reka"; 200 ethnic Albanian men were executed at Orlate; 200 men of
military age were killed in Podujevo; "approximately 150" were killed in
Izbica; in Kraljane, 100 Albanian civilians were executed; a "mass grave"
contained 70 bodies in Rezala; approximately 50 men were executed in Malisevo;
in Kaaniku, 45 were killed and dumped in mass grave; 63 people were killed in
Cecelija ("according to Albanian TV in Tirana"); 21 were killed in Kuraz; 20 in
Goden; 12 in Gornje Obrinje; "at least 6" in Gniljane; and 5 at Hade. There
were "three truckloads of bodies" in Pristina and 14 Albanian men were executed
at Vataj. This makes a total of over 1,300 reported deaths. However, the ICTY
investigators have not discovered one single body at any of these 16 sites. In
a separate allegation, John Sweeney wrote in The Observer in June that the
Serbs had been burning "a hundred bodies a day for the past two months" in the
incinerators at the Trepca mines, yet Tribunal investigators have categorically
denied that there were any human remains either in the mine shafts or in the
incinerators a fact which The Observer has not deigned to report.
The State Department reported 300 killed in Djakovica; 60 at Belenica; 50 at
Glogovac; at least 70 in Kosovo Polje; 100 at Ljubenic; 112 at Mala Krusha; 20-
30 at Prizren; 50 in Rugovo; 115 in Srbica; 40 in Urosevac. This makes a total
of 927 alleged murders. The ICTY investigators have in fact discovered 99
bodies at these sites, a whisker over 10% of the figures reported. Finally, the
State Department reported 100 killed in Brusnik, while 28 bodies have been
found there. 37 bodies have been found at Jovic; 16 at Kacanik; 25 at Kotlina;
65 in Pec. Other significant finds include 98 bodies at Gornje Sudimlja; 70 at
Suvi Do; 77 at Bela Crkva; 74 at Velika Krusa (where about 70 people were
killed by Nato cluster bombs); 67 at Celina; 68 in one site at Orahovac; 106 at
Pusto Selo; 97 at Rakos; and 121 in three sites at Cikatovo. The total body
count reported by the Tribunal is 2,108.
Even if one assumes that all these people are Albanians murdered for ethnic
reasons by Serbs, this is 1/5 of the number alleged by the Foreign Office in
June; 1/50 of the number alleged by William Cohen in May; and 1/250 of the
number suggested by the State Department in April. However, even this
assumption is unjustified. First, in the vast majority of cases, the bodies
were buried in individual, not mass graves. Second, the Tribunal will not say
what sex or age the alleged victims are, let alone what nationality. There were
many causes of violent death in the province: over 100 Serb and Albanian
civilians have been killed in terrorist attacks by the Albanian KLA since its
insurrection began in 1998; 462 Serb soldiers and 114 Serb Interior Ministry
police were killed during the war; the KLA, which had tens of thousands of men

-Caveat Lector-
CIA Documents Seized in Iran Continue to be Published
from: Secrecy Government Bulletin, Issue No. 70, Sept. 1997
The CIA's destruction of records concerning the 1953 covert
action in Iran, first reported in the New York Times on May 29,
1997, provides an occasion in the following three articles to
recall a forgotten episode in the history of the CIA collection;
to report on a surprising documentary resource for students of
US-Iran relations; and to discuss the disputed interpretation of
the 1953 covert action itself.
Files for Hostages
The CIA's collection of records on Iran was once the subject
of what must be the most extreme declassification proposal ever
conceived.
When Iranian revolutionaries took over the U.S. embassy in
Teheran in 1979, they seized dozens of hostages whom they wanted
to exchange for the departed Shah, so that they could place him
on trial. Philip Agee, the former CIA officer who became
notorious for his efforts to expose CIA officers under cover,
came up with a counter-proposal:
"What other solution would the Iranians accept [besides
return of the Shah]? What about the CIA's files on its operations
in Iran? Would the Iranians accept a 'files for hostages' deal
instead of 'Shah for hostages'?
"Those files are their history, all the details on how the
Agency set up the SAVAK [secret police], trained its officers,
supported that murderous institution in every way possible," Agee
wrote. ("On the Run," pp. 315-24). "If the Iranians made a 'files
for hostages' proposal, the pressure on [President] Carter [to
release the CIA files] might be strong and grow. And if he did
give up the files, that would be the end for the CIA."
In the midst of the hostage crisis, Agee telephoned the
embassy in Iran and made his proposal, which was in fact
submitted to the Revolutionary Council for consideration.
Fortunately-- since CIA had already destroyed many of the early
documents-- the proposal was rejected after a few days.
The Iranians thanked Mr. Agee for his comradely concern, but
pointed out that "People in Iran know what the CIA did." Besides,
"we already have a collection of the CIA's documents. We don't
need any more to learn what the CIA was doing here."
"Documents from the U.S. Espionage Den"
Many people will recall that when Iranian revolutionaries
seized the U.S. embassy in Teheran in 1979, they acquired a large
cache of classified U.S. government documents, some of which had
been shredded and painstakingly reassembled, which they proceeded
to publish. What no one seems to have noticed, however, is that
they never stopped publishing!
By 1995, an amazing 77 volumes of "Documents from the U.S.
Espionage Den" (Asnad-i lanih-'i Jasusi) had been collected and
published by the "Muslim Students Following the Line of the
Imam"; (Center for the Publication of the U.S. Espionage Den's
Documents, P.O. Box 15815-3489, Teheran, Islamic Republic of
Iran, tel. 824005). Each volume contains original documents along
with Farsi translations and, for no extra charge, an inflammatory
introductory essay.
"The seizure of the embassy meant that the radicals gained
access to a veritable treasury of secret and confidential
documents covering some thirty years of Iranian history," wrote
Amir Taheri in "Nest of Spies" (Pantheon Books, 1988). "They
reveal the techniques of superpower diplomacy first hand and on a
day-to-day basis." Although Taheri's book was not particularly
well-received by reviewers, it seems to be the only book-length
study to exploit the Iranian collection, or at least the 58
volumes that had been published as of 1987. The documents were
also rather superficially examined by Edward Jay Epstein in an
article titled "Secrets from the CIA Archive in Teheran" and
published in Orbis (Spring 1987).
Ironically (not to say Iranically), publication of the
documents represents an extraordinary service to scholars and to
the interested public, particularly in light of the CIA's
destruction of portions of the historical record on Iran.
Although there are a handful of obvious gems, the Iranians'
criteria for publication are weak or nonexistent -- they seem
intent on publishing everything that they recovered from the
embassy, from detailed CIA procedures for handling defectors to a
discussion of whether the Boy Scouts of America should plan on
attending the 1979 Boy Scout Jamboree in Iran. The indiscriminate
nature of the collection is both its weakness and its strength.
Along with voluminous embassy cable traffic, CIA
intelligence assessments and estimates that remain classified in
the U.S., some of the documents in the Iranian collection are of
a sort that would never be released by the CIA, since they
contain detailed information on sensitive sources. Indeed, at
least one execution of a CIA source is directly attributable to
the capture of these records.
But since the documents have already been disclosed,

-Caveat Lector- "THE TAKING OF AMERICA, 1-2-3" by Richard E. Sprague (1976, 1985) http://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/ToA Chapter 1 Overview and the the 1976 Election The taking of America has been both a simple and a very complex process. It has not been the result of a coup d'etat, although some aspects of the process resemble a coup. It has not been a process similar to the dictatorship takeovers in Germany, Italy and other fascist regimes. It has not been a process like the Communist "uprisings" in Russia, Hungary and other Eastern European countries. The taking of America has been a process unique in the history of the world. The one feature that makes it unique is that what was once the greatest democracy in the world has been taken over by a power control group without the knowledge of most of the American people, their congressional representatives, or the rest of the world. The group has taken America in this fashion because manipulation of the American presidency and the presidential electoral procedure is enough to control America. Two fiendishly clever stratagems were used to keep the fact that control had been seized from being obvious to the people. The first of these was control of the established media in the dissemination of both true (blocking) and false (flooding) information. The second was the use of clandestine and secret weapons and techniques developed during World War Two and perfected during the Korean and Viet Nam wars. These techniques are so new and unusual as to be unbelievable to most citizens. Thus, the incredibility of such weapons as hypnosis, brainwashing and "programming" of patsies as assassins became a psychological tool in the bag of techniques of the power control group. The average American has shrugged off the possibility of the takeover with the belief that, "That's not possible here." The use of such weapons, coupled with a tremendous campaign through the controlled media that both whitewashes any signs of conspiracies and spreads disinformation throughout the country, has successfully blocked any serious or official attempts to get at the truth. Unofficial investigators, private researchers, and even Congressional representatives have been ridiculed and completely blocked by both the power control group and their media allies. To take over a real democracy without letting the people know it has been taken over is a fantastic achievement. A list of the accomplishments of the power control group illustrates the point. Since 1963, they have: *Assassinated John F. Kennedy; *Controlled Lyndon B. Johnson as president; *Forced LBJ out of the presidency; *Assassinated Robert F. Kennedy, assuring Nixon's election in 1968; *Assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King; *Eliminated Ted Kennedy as a contender in the 1972 elections by framing him at Chappaquiddick and threatening his children; *Stopped George Wallace's campaign, assuring Nixon's election in 1972; *Knocked Edmund Muskie out of the 1972 election campaign by using dirty tricks; *Covered up all of the above; *Controlled the 15 major news media organizations; *Made Gerald Ford vice president and then president; *Insured continuity of the cover-ups by forcing Ford to pardon Nixon; *Murdered about 100 witnesses and participants in the three assassinations and one attempted assassination; *Blocked efforts by private citizens and organizations to reveal the take-over; discredited, ruined or infiltrated these individuals or groups; murdered or were accomplices to the murders of the operating assassins; *Blocked efforts by members of the Senate and House to initiate investigations of the assassinations and attempted to whitewash, ridicule or eliminate these efforts (their influence and infiltration has been particularly effective in the Church Committee and in the House Rules Committee); *Controlled the presidential election procedure since 1964 by eliminating the candidates who might expose the truth and insuring the election or appointment of candidates already committed to covering up the truth about the take-over. The question for 1976 was: Could the power control group continue the take-over during that year's elections? Would they be successful in blocking efforts to expose the take-over by congress? Would they be able to fool the American public again, control the media, and eliminate the contenders for the presidency in 1976 who might have threatened their secure position? The answer to these questions was "Yes." The candidates on the scene during the 1976 primaries fell into three categories according to the control group's point of view. Category 1 included candidates that would continue the cover-up of the take-over. Gerald Ford led this group with Ronald Reagan not far behind him.
[CTRL] JFK Postmortem -- Ford's Cover-up of Nixon's Role
-Caveat Lector- "THE TAKING OF AMERICA, 1-2-3" (1985) Chapter 11 Nixon and Ford -- The Pardon and the Tapes As the Power Control Group grew larger and the number of murders increased through the years, it became more and more difficult to keep intact the veil of secrecy surrounding the takeover. As Nixon's instability increased, the danger of revealing the secret superstructure to the American people increased. Watergate and Nixon's resignation from office nearly ruined everything for the Power Control Group. A splinter faction in the CIA began showing strength. All the dirt could have been leaked to the press and to the people. Nixon himself had pulled the most dangerous boner in the history of the PCG. He installed a secret tape recording system that recorded a number of conversations about the PCG's murders, assassinations and dirty tricks. Even worse, Nixon did not destroy the tapes before Congress found out about them and went after them. As soon as it became obvious that Nixon would be forced to resign, the PCG had to use a desperate strategy. On September 8, 1974, Gerald R. Ford pardoned Richard M. Nixon -- such was the PCG's strategy. Many skeptical citizens nodded their heads knowingly and assumed Nixon had made his "deal" with Ford when he nominated him for the vice presidency. Evans and Novak [1] assumed that Julie Nixon Eisenhower talked Ford into the pardon on grounds that Nixon's health was poor. The Ford's fears for Nixon's health didn't seem to convince very many news media people who saw a rosy-cheeked, apparently robust ex-president in San Clemente [2]. Though the pardon seemed to most Americans a gross error in judgment and a miscarriage of justice, once again the public was fooled. This time, the PCG, Nixon and Ford managed to pull the wool over the eyes of the public and narrowly escape revealing what can be called "the entire rotten crust at the top of American power." By 1976, any reasonable hypothesis about what actually happened, based on the evidence at hand, had not been even remotely suggested by either Congress or the media. Any explanation of the situation leading to the pardon begins with the relationship between Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon. It goes back to 1960, the year Mr. Nixon planned the overthrow of Castro's Cuba. As earlier chapters have made clear, the U2 incident and the Bay of Pigs was the beginning. In 1960, Nixon and the White House action officer worked on the plans for what was later called the Bay of Pigs invasion [3]. Prior to that time the PCG and Nixon had accumulated plenty of reasons to want Castro overthrown. The anti-Communist attitude was the superficial reason. Beneath it were Nixon's connections with the Mafia and his friendships and financial holdings that were greatly damaged when Castro closed the casinos run by the mob in Havana [4]. When Nixon and Kennedy debated about the Cuban situation in the 1960 campaign, Nixon purposefully lied to the American people about U.S. plans for an invasion [5]. When he narrowly lost to Kennedy, it created a deep wound, and he and the PCG spent much of the next three years planning revenge. Nixon became a tool of a number of Cubans and Americans, both inside the CIA and outside, who agreed with him that casting out Castro was highly desirable. One of these men was E. Howard Hunt [6]. Another was Bernard Barker [7]. A third was Carlos Prio Socarras [8]. Richard Bissell, Richard Helms and Allen Dulles were the three higher level men in the PCG. Nixon's cronies and financial partners became involved with the PCG. They murdered John Kennedy [9]. Whether Nixon was directly involved in the PCG's planning for the assassination is still open to question, although one researcher believes that he was [10]. There certainly is substantial evidence that Nixon was out to at least politically sink Kennedy and Johnson, and aimed to do so in Dallas immediately before Kennedy was killed [11]. Whether Nixon was directly involved in planning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy does not have to be settled here. What is important is that Nixon was directly involved in covering up the truth about who did kill Kennedy. Evidence from the Nixon-Haldeman tapes of June 1972 indicated that Nixon knew the truth about the assassination when he suggested Gerald Ford be part of the Warren Commission [12]. A close personal friendship had developed between Ford and Nixon during their days together in the Congress, when both were strong, ultra-conservative, "red, white and blue", anti-Communist, "religious" members who thought and talked alike. When Nixon realized that John Kennedy had been killed almost under his nose in Dallas by some of his Bay of Pigs friends, the PCG convinced him he had to do everything in his power to cover it up and to bide his time until his powerful military

-Caveat Lector- "THE TAKING OF AMERICA, 1-2-3" by Richard E. Sprague (1976, 1985) http://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/ToA Chapter 17 THE FINAL COVER UP: How The CIA Controlled The House Select Committee On Assassinations The final report of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), issued in 1979, concluded that a conspiracy existed in the assassination of President Kennedy. This news should have delighted hundreds of researchers who had disagreed with the no-conspiracy finding of the Warren Commission. The fact that it did not, is due to the HSCA conspiracy being a simple one, with Lee Harvey Oswald still firing all but one of the shots from the sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository Building. The existence of another shooter and another shot, from the grassy knoll, was "proved" by the HSCA, based primarily on acoustical evidence presented in the very last month of their public hearings. Dr. Robert Blakey and Richard Billings, chief counsel and report editor for the HSCA, co-authored, in 1981, a book, "The Plot to Kill the President," following the publication of the HSCA's final report. The book claimed that the other shooter and Oswald were part of a Mafia plot to kill JFK. To oversimplify the current (1985) situation, most JFK researchers feel that the American public had been deceived once again. The HSCA reaffirmed all but one of the Warren Commission's findings, including even the famed single bullet theory. The simplified conspiracy finding is now subject to review by the Justice Department and the FBI because it is based on very questionable acoustical evidence. Justice commissioned the so-called Ramsey Panel [1] to review this evidence, in 1981, under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences. It found no evidence from the acoustics that a grassy knoll shot was fired. So, we are back to no-conspiracy and Oswald being the lone assassin. And even if there was a conspiracy, Blakey claims it involved the Mafia and not the CIA. The HSCA report and all of its volumes of evidence omitting any reference to CIA involvement, concluded that the CIA was not involved, and did not reveal any evidence that the HSCA staff had collected showing that CIA people murdered JFK, and that the CIA has been covering up that fact ever since. How did the CIA turn things completely around from the 1976 days when Henry Gonzalez, Thomas Downing, Richard A. Sprague, Robert Tanenbaum, Cliff Fenton and others were pursuing the truth about the assassination, to essentially the same status as when the Warren Commission finished its work? How did they produce the final cover-up? The answer is that the CIA controlled the HSCA and its investigation and findings from the early part of 1977, forward. The methods they used were as clever and devious as any they had used previously to control the Warren Commission, the Rockefeller Commission, the Garrison Investigation, the Schweiker/Hart Committee [2] and the efforts of independent researchers. The Situation in 1976 In 1976, Henry Gonzalez, member of the House from Texas, and Thomas Downing from Virginia, were both convinced there was a massive conspiracy in the JFK assassination. They introduced a joint bill in the House which resulted in the formation of the HSCA and an investigation of the JFK and King assassinations. Gonzalez believed there were at least four conspiracies, in the assassinations of JFK, MLK, Robert Kennedy and in the attempted assassination of George Wallace. He introduced an original bill to have the House investigate all four and the cover-ups and links among them. Downing was primarily interested in the JFK case and his original bill dealt only with that conspiracy. Mark Lane and his committee members and supporters around the country joined forces with Coretta King and the Black Caucus in the House to pressure Congressmen and Tip O'Neill to investigate the King and John Kennedy assassinations. The net result was a merging of the Gonzalez and Downing bills into a Final HSCA bill dealing with only two of the cases. In the fall of 1976, with Downing as chairman, the HSCA selected Richard A. Sprague, from the Philadelphia District Attorney's office, to be chief counsel. Sprague hired four professional investigators and criminal lawyers from New York City. They were very good and completely independent of the CIA and FBI, having been trained by one of the best professionals in the business, D.A. Frank Hogan of New York. Sprague and his JFK team, headed by Bob Tanenbaum, attorney, and Cliff Fenton, chief detective, were going after the real assassins and their bosses, whether this led them to the CIA or FBI or anywhere else. Sprague had already made it clear to the HSCA that he would investigate CIA involvement, and subpoena CIA people, documents and other information,
[CTRL] JFK Postmortem -- CIA's Cover-up in Congress (2/2)
-Caveat Lector- THE FINAL COVER UP: How The CIA Controlled The House Select Committee On Assassinations [cont'd] But the CIA, through Robert Blakey, buried the Fenton report. Committee members were not told about the team's findings. The evidence was not included in the HSCA report, nor was it even referred to in the volumes. The witnesses in New Orleans were never called to testify. That included the CIA man at the meetings. Fenton and the other three members of his team, having signed the nondisclosure agreement, were legally sworn to secrecy, or at least they thought so. To this day they refuse to discuss anything with anybody. There may also have been threats of physical violence against them. There is no way to determine this. However, Fenton and the others are well aware of the witnesses that the CIA murdered just before they were about to testify before the HSCA. These included: William Sullivan, the FBI deputy under J. Edgar Hoover, who headed Division V, the domestic intelligence division; George de Mohrenschildt, Oswald's CIA contact in Dallas; John Roselli, the Mafia man involved in the CIA plots to assassinate Castro; Regis Kennedy, the FBI agent who knew a lot about Clay Shaw, alias Clay Bertrand, in New Orleans and who was one of Lee Harvey Oswald's FBI contacts; Rolando Masferrer, an anti-Castro Cuban murdered in Miami; and Carlos Prio Socarras, former Cuban premier, killed in his garage in Miami. Knowing of these murders, Fenton and his team would not have required any more than a gentle hint, to keep quiet. Frenchy Example The "tramp," Frenchy, who appears in seven photos taken in Dealey Plaza, is one of the most important CIA individuals in the JFK assassination. Researcher Bill Turner discovered that Frenchy had been in the Florida Keys working with CIA sponsored anti-Castro groups. Richard A. Sprague and Bob Tanenbaum knew about his role, and intended to go after him when the HSCA restored its subpoena power and obtained enough money. They were aware of the evidence that Frenchy fired the fatal shot from the grassy knoll. They assigned a team of investigators to follow a lead to Frenchy provided by the author in early 1977. Unfortunately, the CIA managed to keep both the subpoena power and funds away from the committee until the resignations of Gonzalez, Sprague and Tanenbaum were achieved. The power and funds were restored after Stokes was elected, and after they installed their own man, Blakey. The investigative team remained, however, and they did search for and find Frenchy. But Blakey and the CIA suppressed that fact, and suppressed anything they may have learned from Frenchy. He is not mentioned in the report and was not called as a witness. The author dares not reveal the source of the above information because of the danger to staff people from the nondisclosure agreement. Nagell, Dean, Novel, and Augustinovich The Garrison investigation and a subsequent series of investigations by the author and other members of the Committee to Investigate Assassinations in 1967 to 1973, turned up several witnesses who were willing to talk privately about the CIA assassination team that murdered JFK. Harry Dean and Richard Case Nagell had been Lee Harvey Oswald's CIA contacts while he was in Mexico City and knew about assassination planning meetings held in Guy Gabaldin's apartment. Dean knew about William Seymour, CIA contract agent, attending those meetings and how Seymour had been pretending to be Oswald on many occasions. Gordon Novel knew how the CIA had covered up the truth about the assassination and how they went to extreme lengths to ruin Jim Garrison and his investigation. Novel had been employed by the CIA in this effort. Ronald Augustinovich and his friend, Mary Hope, had attended some of the Mexico City meetings. Richard Russell and the author tracked down all four of these witnesses prior to the arrival of Robert Blakey at the HSCA. Russell interviewed them and knew they would be willing to talk, given protection and some form of immunity. The author presented their names and their involvement to Richard A. Sprague, Henry Gonzalez, Lewis Stokes and Robert Tanenbaum in the fall of 1976. This was done as part of the author's consulting assignment for the HSCA. The names were in a memorandum to Sprague, which outlined the overall JFK conspiracy and the CIA's role, along with a recommendation of the sequence in which witnesses should be called. The idea was to base each witness interrogation on what had been established from interviewing prior witnesses, working slowly from cooperative witnesses, to non-cooperative witnesses, to actual assassins, to higher level CIA people [4]. The highest level people, E. Howard Hunt and Richard Helms, would be faced with accusers. As indicated earlier, Sprague and Tanenbaum could do nothing

The Last Noble Cause: Euroscepticism and the Battle for Britain
A HIGHER STATE
Imagine, if you will, an anti-interventionist movement that has mobilised
millions of people to vote and has in its ranks thousands of dedicated
activists. Not only that but the electorate is aware of its main grievance and
is overwhelmingly backing its stance. Its enemies are in disarray and it has
captured the main opposition party. But the reason why Euroscepticism in
Britain is so vibrant is not that the British are especially sensible, but that
they are especially threatened. The battle for Britain is being fought, and it
could yet be lost.
THE FIFTH REICH
Europe is becoming a state and little will stop it. The citizens of the
undemocratic continental countries welcome it, apart from grumbling from
protectionist Frenchmen and currency proud Germans. Some countries have no wish
to be invaded, like France and view trading sovereignty as preferable to
surrendering it. Other nations, like the Germans, that have no wish to see
their country plumb depths of human evil as they did in the Holocaust. Yet
more, like the Italians have thoroughly lost confidence in their governing
classes. The British (or increasingly the English) are different. We have not
been invaded, our Empire was not angelic but neither was it evil, and our
governing class is more incompetent than corrupt (with the exception of Mr.
Blair and his coterie). We simply do not need a new currency, army or body of
law; and most of us do not want it imposed by weak or corrupt neighbours.
TWO VOTES
There are two crucial elections for Britains relationship with Europe, one in
the past and one in the future. In the past there were the European Election of
June this year, where the unpopular Conservative opposition scored a surprising
victory on a Eurosceptic agenda and Labour went down to its worst electoral
defeat for fifteen years. At the same time the single issue United Kingdom
Independence Party (UKIP) got three seats out of seventy-five. This was a
serious blow to the federating agenda. The vote to come is the vote on Economic
and Monetary Union (EMU) where the British people will be asked to decide
whether or not they want to give up the pound. Except they probably wont. The
polls are firmly against EMU that it looks like any vote is going to go
against it, despite seemingly endless Government propaganda. The Eurosceptics
have found the money and allies in the media that they simply did not have in
1975 when they lost the vote on whether or not to join the European Union. My
(admittedly unreliable) sources in the Blair camp say that he has given up on
winning a straight vote on EMU, and has accepted he cant realistically rig
the vote. There are two alternatives open, to completely give up on a vote and
leave the Conservatives bereft of their main issue, or to give the British a
vote on their very membership of the EU, which the British are still for. The
prize is now wide open for the Eurosceptics, for by accident Mr. Blair may take
us out of the European Union, then he would have an honoured place in the
history books.
THE MINUTEMAN SQUABBLE
Obviously when good men see a cause that threatens their independence, nay
their very way of life, they stand shoulder to shoulder to stop the coming
onslaught. You believed that? What were you doing in history class? The fact is
that like all good and noble causes the Eurosceptics are squabbling like little
children, which is the best way. Most British people are not settled in their
Euroscepticism. Some people just oppose further federating moves such as the
Single Currency. Other British people dislike what Europe has done to their
livelihood or hobby. Yet more want Britain to grab back powers that they have
already given, and some (like myself) see that there is no way out of European
federalism, except for withdrawal from the European Union. There are so many
groups that there is even dispute as to who the coordinating body is, is it the
Congress for Democracy or the Anti-Maastricht alliance. The fact is that the
sheer numbers of Eurosceptic groups means that there is something for almost
anybody, left, right or center; tepid sceptic to outright unilateralist.
Moreover, if you find no group that suits your taste, you can form a new one.
It is politics for the Internet generation.
THE MAINFRAME GENERATION
Now I must turn to the belly of the beast. I really do not want to but I must
let you see the opposition. Unlike the vibrant and bewildering variety of the
Eurosceptics, the pro-Europeans present a united, disciplined and lifeless
front. The European Movement (EM), a group actually funded by the European
Union, is the heart of the Euroctopus and nothing moves without its permission.

[CTRL] Village Voice: FBI Threatens Times Sq. Massacre Filmmaker
-Caveat Lector- Published November 24 - 30, 1999 THE MONITOR BY MARK BOAL Subversive Filmmaker Attracts the Wrong Kind of Agent FBI's Shutter Speed Success seemed imminent. A local TV station was airing a segment about his Web site, and he began to savor those precious moments of microfame. No more dingy years of self-subsidized screenings; now there'd be an audience for his art. But then came the FBI. In a highly unusual move last week, FBI agents called mike zieper, an independent artist who goes by the name Mike Z., and "requested" that he remove his site from the Internet. When he declined, the FBI worked in tandem with the U.S. Attorney's office to persuade his Web host and its server to pull Zieper's site-18 days after it went up-without having a subpoena or court order of any kind. Mike Z.'s Web site showed an eerie but amateur video that purports to be a military briefing. The clip opens with fuzzy shots of Times Square, over which an unseen male voice describes a secret army plan to incite a race riot on New Year's Eve. "First Team," he says "you're all here by oh?four hundred," and he then instructs undercover black agents to "Give them a little of the Amadou shit, agitate it." The FBI was alerted to the site after receiving phone calls from people who thought its Blair Witch ?style footage was genuine army issue. The opening banner on the site read, "I don't know too much about this tape you are about to see. I got it from my cousin Steve who's in the army. . . . If it's fake, then there's nothing to worry about. If it's real, then we're in really big trouble." The FBI's call came when Mike Z. was at a friend's house last Thursday watching his UPN 9 interview. Suddenly, his pager hummed, and when he called the number back, it turned out to be the local New Jersey sheriff's department at his front door with two FBI agents in tow, wondering if they could come in for a chat. Then agents Dan Calemina and Joe Metzinger got on the phone and said, " 'We know that you have this Web site and that it has been getting a lot of activity,' " Z. recalls. " 'And we want to know how we can get people to stop seeing it.' The implication was obviously that I would face a subpoena or an arrest if I didn't [take it down]," Z. says. Instead, Z. contacted attorneys and put his computer in storage. But the agents made an end run around him. When Z. refused to pull his site, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office contacted Z.'s host, BECamation, the next day. And that was all it took. "I had no choice but to pull the site down completely or I would have lost my business," says Mark Wieger, BECamation's president, who feared that his own ISP would cut him off. Lisa Korologos, an assistant U.S. Attorney, requested that Wieger "remove the content so that it could not be distributed," Wieger says. (Both the U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI had no comment.) Wieger later apologized to Z. in an e-mail: "To us a $75 job is not worth losing our business over. . . . We regret that this has happened and to lose you as a customer." While Internet service providers are commonly subpoened by law enforcement officials, an attorney who specializes in cyber liberties at the ACLU could not recall a similar case in which the officers acted without a warrant. "I've never heard of anything like this involving the FBI," said Ann Beeson, a staff attorney at the ACLU. Neither had Z., who was terrified when the agents called. "I was thinking, am I a criminal? I started to imagine those orange jumpsuits and spending time in jail." Z. believes intimidation was the point of the conversation, and that, says the ACLU, runs afoul of the First Amendment. "Even though the ISP may not have been told, 'You must take it down,' there are still serious constitutional problems," says Beeson. "It is certainly constitutionally suspect for law enforcement to implicitly threaten any private entity with censorship." (The ACLU is considering a suit.) For Z., blurring the line between truth and fiction is what makes his work unique. "I like to get people into a space that's not framed by narrative," Z. says of his video. "My work always looks like something that was not made for public consumption, and here it tries to address issues of race." For now, those issues will have to wait. Tell us what you think.

-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded Message Follows --- Date sent: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 14:09:08 -0500 Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: FAIR-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:[FAIR-L] In Attack on Public Schools, Did Stossel Do His Homework? To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FAIR-L Fairness Accuracy in Reporting Media analysis, critiques and news reports ACTION ALERT: In Attack on Public Schools, Did ABC's Stossel Do His Homework? November 24, 1999 On 20/20's November 12 broadcast, ABC News correspondent John Stossel devoted his "Give Me a Break" segment to taking on public schools and teaching standards. But a close examination of the report reveals so many mistakes and omissions that one can only wonder whether Stossel did his homework. The report is divided into two segments: a full-scale attack on public schools and teachers, and a comparison between failing, bureaucratic public schools and successful, high-achieving private Catholic schools. From the beginning of the segment, it's not hard to tell where Stossel is headed. Anchor Barbara Walters introduces Stossel's report by saying, "So what's the matter with teachers today?" Stossel then proceeds with his case against "government schools" and their "Soviet-style bureaucracy." Here are a few of the claims made in the report, accompanied by a response to each. STOSSEL: "Lots of people are complaining about public schools, but that's not the story the teachers' union tells." FACT: While it's certainly true that some people are critical of public education, their overall impression is not negative. According to the latest results of the Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll Of the Public's Attitudes Toward Public Schools, 49 percent of respondents give public schools a grade of A or B, and 31 percent assign them a C. Only 5 percent of respondents gave public schools a failing grade (http://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/kpol9909.htm). It's worth noting that parents with children in public school graded schools more favorably; 66 percent of these gave an A or a B to the school their oldest child attends. It's also worth noting that one teacher's union, the National Education Association, offers plenty of criticisms of public schools on their own web site. STOSSEL "SAT scores are lower than they used to be." FACT: Data from the Department of Education show a slide from the mid-'60s to the mid-'70s, with SAT scores remaining relatively stable over the past 20 years. But using the SAT to compare students of today with students of yesteryear is a meaningless exercise. A much larger pool of students takes the test today than in the past, when they were mainly required by a small group of elite colleges. Most importantly, the questions on the test change every year, so there is no way to know how the class of 1966 would have done on 1999's test, or vice versa. STOSSEL: "Since I was in school, America has more than tripled spending on education." It's commonly claimed that school spending has increased dramatically--most often, it's said to have doubled in the past 25 years. But prices for labor-intensive services like education generally rise faster than prices for goods, which are held down by improvements in technology. Richard Rothstein of the Economic Policy Institute has calculated an inflation rate for services, and when this is used instead of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to calculate real spending on education, Rothstein found that spending on public schools actually grew 61 percent between 1967 and 1991--about 2 percent per year--and much of that increase went to special education programs. Likewise, spending from 1991 to 1996 has increased only 0.7 percent. STOSSEL: "The U.S. Education Department says that only one in five teachers feels prepared to teach to high standards." FACT: Stossel appears to be referring to a Department of Education study released in January 1999 (http://nces.ed.gov/pubs99/1999080.htm). This study dealt with teacher preparedness, but it had nothing about teaching to "high standards." Instead, it found that 20 percent of teachers--one in five--felt comfortable integrating high *technology* into classroom instruction (20 percent). Of course, such misuse of a survey would constitute either gross dishonesty or extreme sloppiness. The Department of Education could find no study that more closely matched Stossel's description; ABC refused to provide any more specifics. STOSSEL: "This summer, the Massachusetts teachers' union staged this protest after almost half the state's new teachers flunked the competency test and kept flunking." FACT: First, as Dr. Penelope Earley of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education points out, many of those flunking the exam were not teachers, but members of the public trying to get teaching credentials. Second, Stossel fails to

All,
A coworker of mine was just taken to the cleaners by CompuServe. He
received one of their disks in the mail claiming unlimited Internet service
for 21.99 a month. He installed the software and was on the service for
about 3 weeks. He had some trouble so while on the phone he asked the
account representative how much he owed so far in his bill. He was told it
was $169.00.
What CompuServe did to him and apparently everyone who signs up like he did
is automatically put him on a 5 hour a month account and any time over that
is billed at a premium price. A customer has to specially contact
CompuServe and request to be put on the unlimited account.
And CompuServe doesn't care that it is using deceptive practices and would
not even consider reducing his bill sense he though he was on the other
plan.
Caveat emptor.

-Caveat Lector- A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber who responded, "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty and full of Italians. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?" "We're taking TWA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!" "TWA?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?" "We'll be at the downtown International Marriott." "That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?" "We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope." "That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it." A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome. "It was wonderful," explained the man. "Not only were we on time in one of TWA's brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28 year old stewardess who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel-it was great! They'd just finished a $25 million remodeling job and now it's the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge. "You didn't see the pope, of course." "Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Army Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later the pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me." "Really?" asked the Barber. "What'd he say?"

[CTRL] Fw: Eyewitness report from Greece
-Caveat Lector- http://users.uniserve.com/~culturex/Machine-Psychology-EEL.htm -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: International [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, November 24, 1999 2:47 PM Subject: Eyewitness report from Greece EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT from INTERNATIONAL ACTION CENTER staff member reporting from ATHENS, GREECE ATHENS, Greece--Bill Clinton arrived in Greece Nov. 19 like a thief in the night. His motorcade moved down darkened boulevards carefully cleared of people. Armies of police guarded him against any contact with ordinary Greeks. But the voice of the people could not be silenced. While the U.S. president wined and dined with Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis, police loosed barrages of tear gas against thousands of workers, students and retirees trying to march to the U.S. Embassy. Among those gassed were elderly veterans of the Greek anti-Nazi resistance in World War II. Despite the gas and repeated police attacks, protesters regrouped again and again and marched through downtown Athens to the city's central Omonia Square. Over 80 people were arrested, many of them at pharmacies where they had gone for medical aid. As of this writing, they are still being held. In the aftermath of the protest, the Greek government has mounted a violence-baiting campaign against the Greek Committee for Peace and the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), which was a major force in the demonstration. But it was the state and its heavily armed police that unleashed the violence that night. CLINTON LEAVES TRAIL OF REPRESSION The media have played up Clinton's carefully scripted comment about the "right to protest as long as it's peaceful." But at every stop on his Balkan tour, protests have been met with fascist-like violence. While he was in Turkey, police beat and arrested hundreds of protesters in Ankara, the capital. They had not been released as of Nov. 22. In Sofia, Bulgaria, where Clinton went after leaving Athens, protests were also banned and over 100 people arrested. Blagoesta Doncheva, a former anti-communist "dissident" who has written eloquently about the Bulgarian people's suffering under the new capitalist regime, including a recent op-ed piece for the New York Times, was thrown into a mental ward. Clinton will also visit the NATO-occupied Yugoslav province of Kosovo. There, Serbs, Roma people, Turks and other minorities are being systematically murdered and driven from their homes by NATO- sponsored gangs, even as the imperialist occupiers claim to be combating national oppression. LONG HISTORY OF GREEK RESISTANCE In Greece, too, the regime tried to stifle protest. In the week before Clinton's arrival, a masked gang attacked a Communist Party neighborhood office in Athens, beating three people. Another KKE office was firebombed. Officials and the media also created a climate of fear with constant warnings about violence. But their efforts at intimidation failed. The Greek people hate NATO. Nearly 700,000 Greeks were murdered by Nazi occupiers during World War II. When the Communist-led Greek resistance, in alliance with Yugoslav and Albanian partisans, succeeded in driving Hitler's armies out of the Balkans, the imperialists feared a revolution and sent British troops to occupy the country. Britain, a supposed ally, imposed on Greece a regime of Nazi collaborators headed by a hated royal family that had spent the war under British protection. In 1948 and 1949, tens of thousands of Greek anti-Nazi fighters were murdered, imprisoned or driven into exile by mercenary forces armed, trained and financed by the U.S. and British imperialist governments. The Truman administration created NATO in conjunction with this war against Greece. The U.S. military's first use of napalm bombs was against Greek villages. U.S. planes also bombed Yugoslavia in this period. Over 100,000 anti-Nazi fighters were held in concentration camps for the next 20 years. In 1967, when the Greek left had regained its strength, Greece's NATO military carried out a coup. Col. George Papadopoulos, leader of the fascist junta that would rule the country for the next seven years, was on the direct payroll of the CIA. This was finally revealed by the New York Times in 1976. Fascist terror did not crush the people's resistance. On Nov. 17, 1973, tens of thousands of university students defied tanks and guns to challenge the junta, which fell the following year. That same spirit was very much alive in the streets of Athens and other Greek cities before and during Clinton's visit. 10,000 ACCUSE U.S./NATO OF WAR CRIMES On Nov. 8, 10,000 people had stood in the rain in Athens's Constitution Square for a mass trial of the U.S. president and other NATO leaders. The judges were 20 justices of the Council of State-- the Greek Supreme Court. Famous entertainers served as other officers of the court. Clinton had ignored a subpoena delivered to the U.S. Embassy a week earlier by a march of

Suppose it's obviously right that One Big University, a Microsoft of education, can do high quality teaching for the whole world, making it unnecessary for us to have 3500 accredited colleges in the US, or even 350. Or even 35. Would it be a good thing to save all that brick and mortar, and have all those teachers go into another line of work: taxi driving perhaps? Would you favor that kind of trend in your country? Do you agree there's a lot of nonsense spoken about the marvels of technology, as if radio and television and the telegraph and 35 mm slides really brought us out of the intellectual dark ages and into the education marvels of today: a world where children are taught reading and writing and numbers and geography and job skill by the audiovisual marvels of the new wondrous gadgets. Or are we saying that radio may have disappointed, and television didn't quite deliver on the prophesies, but the computer, now, the computer will really have everyone able to learn everything, and there will soon be no more illiteracy, and no more unemployment, and no more homelessness, because the computer will teach everyone, each one at his/her level, learning at his/her pace, etc., etc., etc. Ah me, Earl. Did someone say the more things change the more they stay the same? Learning faster is the funniest idea I've heard in a long time.

They are also expanding the use of authorization codes and verification processes and producing state-of-the-art (snipped out line spacing) security devices that imbed hidden identification numbers in duplicated documents produced on a color copier or printer. This resulting "fingerprint" can then be used to trace the duplicated document and identify the specific machine it was created on. Law enforcement officials can then track and locate the offending machine and users. Some color copiers have even been designed to shut off when the machine recognizes the presence of a coded message in the original document being duplicated." This is a Press Release that is on the web site of the National Association of Quick Printers (NAQP) which is the official trade association of the quick print industry.

For more than a year Canon Corp., the leading manufacturer of color copiers and a producer of printers and scanners, has quietly incorporated two anti-counterfeiting features into its business products, says David Farr, senior vice- president and general manager of Canon USA, Inc. The copiers include a specially programmed microchip that recognizes the currencies of several countries, including the United States and Japan. If someone attempts to copy the currency, the copier will print a black sheet of paper instead. "A more subtle deterrent imprints a code of the machine's serial number on every copy it produces. The number is encoded in ``microdots'' that can be printed anywhere on the page. ``Nobody even knows these features are in there,'' Farr says. The serial number can be decoded only with special equipment that he declined to identify, which the company provides to the Secret Service and other federal agencies solely for tracing counterfeits to the copier on which they were made." --- The resources page at this site.. http://www.sgrm.com/Resources.htm has some interesting looking links but I haven't had time to check them out.

When people are told that the same statistical release from the Bank of England shows that the total of money created by the Treasury on behalf of the UK Government is a mere £25 billion of notes and coins, they naturally ask where does the rest of the £680 billion come from?

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.cafrman.com/main.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.cafrman.com/main.htm"CAFRMan/A - Conclusion - Section VIII Are the Rich Getting Richer? The Wealth Gap and Communism The Other Deficit Interest Rates Political Rhetoric Extensive Refund Plan Are the Rich Really Getting Richer? It has been reported that company executives at major companies brought home average compensation packages of $10.6 million in 1998. That was an increase of 36% over 1997. Did you get a 36% pay raise in 1998? No you probably didn't. Worker pay averaged a paltry $29,267 in 1998, only 2.7% more than in 1997. If the workers' pay had increased at the same rate as executive pay over the decade, the current hourly rate would be $22.08 an hour instead of $5.15. The Wall Street crowd and many economists want you to believe that if wages increase, that's bad; but if company executives pay increases astronomically in comparison to wages, that's not bad. Returning the surpluses to the people will cause such an increase in jobs that companies will have to pay higher wages in order to get and keep employees. Maybe then they will not be able to give themselves a 36% pay increase each year by keeping employee wages down. The threat of companies closing their U.S. operations and moving overseas, encouraging illegal alien m igration to the U.S. and not enforcing trade agreements, all have discouraged employees from receiving adequate wage increases commensurate with the supposedly booming economy of the '90s. The booming economy has benefited the top 10%, not the rest of us. (See the beginning of Section III - Economic Impact Analysis) The Wealth Gap and Communism Another Wall Street Journal article was entitled, "Wealth Gap Grows: Why Does It Matter?" It stated in summary: " Yet, the gap in wealth-which includes investments in addition to paychecks-between the richest Americans and everyone else has continued to widen " " Only 43.3% of all households owned any stock in 1997 Of those, many portfolios were relatively small. Nearly 90% of all shares were held by the wealthiest 10% of households. That top 10% held 73.2% of the country's net worth, up from 68.2% in 1983." (Emphasis added.) The article stated "households", not governments. Now add to the 73.2% the surpluses held by governments and the amount owned and controlled by the wealthiest 10% will probably exceed 90% or more of the wealth of America. Remember, communism is a concept or system of society in which the major resources and means of production are owned by the community (governments and a few individuals who control governments) rather than by individuals. In theory, such societies provide for equal sharing of all work, according to ability, and all benefits, according to need. Some conceptions of communist societies assume that, ultimately, coercive government would be unnecessary and therefore that such a society would be without rulers. Until the ultimate stages are reached, however, communism involves the abolition of private property by a revolutionary movement; responsibility for meeting public needs is then vested in the state. The special elite decide on how the wealth will be distributed among the people. All life styles, standard of living, actions, thoughts, and even life itself is decided by the state because the state owns and controls everything. Is it possible that communism could be created within a capitalistic society without a revolution? Have we already reached that point? Returning surpluses to the people will reverse the trend of wealth transfers and increase the percent owned and controlled by 90% of the people. This increase in people-control could greatly assist in restoring the "Republic" form of government outlined by the founders. Although this not a cure, it is a step in the right direction. The Other Deficit In an August 1999 issue of Barron's entitled "The Other Deficit" describes another problem in our economy that is set to cause many problems. "Forget about the budget - worry about the current-account gap." The current-account is " the broadest measure of the U.S. external accounts, including trade and financial transfers. It shows Americas balance with the rest of the world; it also indicates by how much U.S. consumption exceeds production, and the amount that domestic savings fall short of financing investments." The current-account gap will reach $300 billion in 1999. What happens if the gap continues? Well, the normal approach is for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to induce foreign investments in the U.S. because of the low U.S. savings rate. When interest rates increase, 90% of Americans loose. Returning surpluses to the people will supply the necessary capital to help overcome the $300 billion current-account balance deficit. This is especially true if the refund plan outlined below is initiated because the savings rate would increase. Interest Rates Just think of how

Steve Gill wrote: Unfortunately I suspect that enough of our government either gets direct bribes or indirect support (funding for interdiction efforts) so that the result is the same: a vested interest in the status quo. Perhaps as Dana has speculated this makes ibogaine less likely to be legalized, but I suspect that even if it was a panacea for all forms of addiction that there would be little worry over it..there's always new customers!! Before there was Ibogaine, there was contra cocaine; before there was contra cocaine, there was heroin fascism... I am currently studying the links in N.Y.C. between opponents of ibogaine in the AIDS treatment, 12 step, and squatter communities with a certain neo-Nazi who was arrested in 1995 with a bomb factory. It is only a coincidence that he was busted 10 days after the NIDA mtg in Rockville which discontinued development of their own ibogaine protocol, because of a leak in his plumbing. Instead of 25 years to life (mandatory minimum in NYC for 30 rifles and handguns, 10,000 rounds of ammo and numerous bombs and partially-assembled bombs), he got a slap-on-the-wrist sentence that was consistent with government leniency toward longtime provocateur/informers. This whole time, he has had people working for him on the outside. He was behind the anti-Ibogaine story in the New York Press. He gets out next year. Nazis, once it's explained to them, seem to have a visceral hatred of ibogaine. I suspect that anyone who has a visceral hatred of it is--spiritually at least--a fascist. It's quite easy for them to manipulate anyone who already hates Ibogaine because "it's really just giving addicts another high" (quoth Joyce Hartwell, local 12-step czarina)--to do horrible things to try to stop Ibogaine. But because opponents like these, Deborah Mash felt she had to turn on Howard and distance herself from all those who worked on Ibogaine before she came on the scene. Dana/cnw iF Magazine Editor's Note: The following story looks at a dark chapter of South America's history: the rise of right-wing military dictatorships in the 1970s and their enduring ties to the cocaine trade and international neo-fascists. Because of the CIA'sdealings with many of these drug-tainted figures, this history largely has been kept from the American people. Indeed, while shielding CIA assets from criticism, the U.S. government has shifted the cocaine blame to leftist "narco-terrorists." This pattern is repeating itself today in Colombia as the Clinton administration embarks on a major counterinsurgency campaign against "drug-financed Marxist guerrillas." Like his predecessors, President Clinton is gluing black hats on one side and white hats on the other, when the truth is far more complicated. * * * By Robert Reed On June 20, 1973, South America teetered between its past and its future. Former Argentine Gen. Juan Peron, one of the region's legendary strongmen, was returning from a 17-year exile. Peron's arrival was welcomed by millions of Argentines from the political left as well as the right, by Argentines who remembered his populist social programs -- and those who shared his darker fascination with European fascism. To greet Peron, an estimated two million Argentines surged hopefully to Ezeiza airport outside Buenos Aires. Some of the celebrants were young Monteneros, leftists who admired Peron's pro-labor policies and his nationalistic resistance to the United States. The crowd also contained Argentines tired of social unrest and yearning for more traditional order. Others simply were caught up in the political excitement, knowing Peron mostly as the charismatic leader who married the glamorous Eva Peron, the legendary "Evita." But the aging Peron's personal allegiance now stood with a strange band of bodyguards who flanked him on the dais at Ezeiza airport. Jose Lopez Rega, Peron's Rasputin-like personal assistant known as "El Brujo" or "The Wizard," had picked this multinational team of gunmen from a collection of ultra-right paramilitary forces. The security detail included Cuban-Americans from Alpha 66, gunmen from Italy's Ordine Nuovo, Croatian fascist Ustashi thugs and several Corsican gangsters who were involved in the infamous French Connection heroin ring. At the head of this international odd squad was Ciro Ahumada, an ex-leader of the ultra-right French Secret Army Organization [OAS], which in the early 1960s had engaged in terrorism to block President Charles deGaulle's plans to grant independence to Algeria. Another commander was Lt. Col. Jorge Osinde, Peron's intelligence chief from the 1950s and a close ally of Lopez Rega. In preparation for Peron's return, Lopez Rega had been named head of the Ministry of Social Welfare, the euphemistic name for the secret police. Osinde had become Lopez Rega's top deputy.

[CTRL] That Times Square movie
-Caveat Lector- http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/9947/boal.shtml THE MONITOR BY MARK BOAL Subversive Filmmaker Attracts the Wrong Kind of Agent FBI's Shutter Speed Success seemed imminent. A local TV station was airing a segment about his Web site, and he began to savor those precious moments of microfame. No more dingy years of self-subsidized screenings; now there'd be an audience for his art. But then came the FBI. In a highly unusual move last week, FBI agents called mike zieper, an independent artist who goes by thename Mike Z., and "requested" that he remove his site from the Internet. When he declined, the FBI worked in tandem with the U.S. Attorney's office to persuade his Web host and its server to pull Zieper's site-18 days after it went up-without having a subpoena or court order of any kind. Mike Z.'s Web site showed an eerie but amateur video that purports to be a military briefing. The clip opens with fuzzy shots of Times Square, over which an unseen male voice describes a secret army plan to incite a race riot on New Year's Eve. "First Team," he says "you're all here by oh?four hundred," and he then instructs undercover black agents to "Give them a little of the Amadou shit, agitate it." The FBI was alerted to the site after receiving phone calls from people who thought its Blair Witch ?style footage was genuine army issue. The opening banner on the site read, "I don't know too much about this tape you are about to see. I got it from my cousin Steve who's in the army. . . . If it's fake, then there's nothing to worry about. If it's real, then we're in really big trouble." The FBI's call came when Mike Z. was at a friend's house last Thursday watching his UPN 9 interview. Suddenly, his pager hummed, and when he called the number back, it turned out to be the local New Jersey sheriff's department at his front door with two FBI agents in tow, wondering if they could come in for a chat. Then agents Dan Calemina and Joe Metzinger got on the phone and said, " 'We know that you have this Web site and that it has been getting a lot of activity,' " Z. recalls. " 'And we want to know how we can get people to stop seeing it.' The implication was obviously that I would face a subpoena or an arrest if I didn't [take it down]," Z. says. Instead, Z. contacted attorneys and put his computer in storage. But the agents made an end run around him. When Z. refused to pull his site, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office contacted Z.'s host, BECamation, the next day. And that was all it took. "I had no choice but to pull the site down completely or I would have lost my business," says Mark Wieger, BECamation's president, who feared that his own ISP would cut him off. Lisa Korologos, an assistant U.S. Attorney, requested that Wieger "remove the content so that it could not be distributed," Wieger says. (Both the U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI had no comment.) Wieger later apologized to Z. in an e-mail: "To us a $75 job is not worth losing our business over. . . . We regret that this has happened and to lose you as a customer." While Internet service providers are commonly subpoened by law enforcement officials, an attorney who specializes in cyber liberties at the ACLU could not recall a similar case in which the officers acted without a warrant. "I've never heard of anything like this involving the FBI," said Ann Beeson, a staff attorney at the ACLU. Neither had Z., who was terrified when the agents called. "I was thinking, am I a criminal? I started to imagine those orange jumpsuits and spending time in jail." Z. believes intimidation was the point of the conversation, and that, says the ACLU, runs afoul of the First Amendment. "Even though the ISP may not have been told, 'You must take it down,' there are still serious constitutional problems," says Beeson. "It is certainly constitutionally suspect for law enforcement to implicitly threaten any private entity with censorship." (The ACLU is considering a suit.) For Z., blurring the line between truth and fiction is what makes his work unique. "I like to get people into a space that's not framed by narrative," Z. says of his video. "My work always looks like something that was not made for public consumption, and here it tries to address issues of race." For now, those issues will have to wait. We are about to go on a Journey.

The store now has the full Liberty Library catalog and a shopping cart system! http://www.spotlight.org/store/commerce.cgi? IN THIS ISSUE: McCains Ties With Vietnam Robert Rubin: Public Servant? Constitution Under Attack Constitution Under Attack The case of Bradford Metcalf, sentenced to virtually life in prison for merely owning guns, shows that for many, constitutional protections no longer have meaning in a court of law. Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT By Howard Carson The Bill of Rights has become a collection of meaningless words in the hands of federal judges and prosecutors. A case in point: Bradford Metcalf. Metcalf was indicted, tried and convicted for a conspiracy, which was created solely in the mind of federal prosecutor, Lloyd K. Meyer. Meyer had political ambitions and needed a big case to make a name for himself. So, he created one. One of the elements of this prosecutor-created conspiracy was possession of machine-guns. But Metcalf had no machine-guns and Meyer knew it. Prior to the trial, Meyer furnished Metcalf with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) regulations concerning machine-guns, which plainly stated that the Browning .50 caliber and .30 caliber machine-guns in his possession without the right sideplates are not machine-guns. This didnt stop Meyer. In his closing argument to the jury, Meyer said Metcalf had the right sideplates buried on his property. But no evidence was introduced during the trial to show that Metcalf had the sideplates in his possession. The jury dutifully convicted Metcalf of all the charges on the indictment. Judge Richard Alan Enslen of the Western District of Michigan then sentenced Metcalf to 40 years in federal prison. Metcalfs case illustrates what has happened to our Bill of Rights, and the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, in the hands of todays federal judges and prosecutors. The rights our ancestors struggled to secure for us have simply ceased to exist. A comparison of the Bill of Rights with what actually happened to Metcalf amply illustrates what instruments of oppression our federal courts have be come. FIRST AMENDMENT: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Govern ment for a redress of grievances. The first count of the Metcalf indictment charged a conspiracy. A federal conspiracy charge consists of an agreement to commit an illegal act with an act performed. The agreement to commit the illegal actthe object of the conspiracyis whatever the prosecutor says it is when he drafts the indictment. Metcalf and his two co-defendants, Randy Graham and Ken Carter, had a few telephone conversations about the sorry state of the federal government in general and the federal judiciary in particular. Those telephone conversations were secretly wire-tapped and recorded by the government. SECOND AMENDMENT: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Nearly all federal and state courts have held that this right is a collective right and does not apply to individuals. The theory is patently wrong. According to Don B. Kates Jr., writing in the Michigan Law Review in 1983, the word people in the First and Fourth Amendments did not change meaning in the Second Amendment. This past April, a federal district judge in Texas ruled that the Second Amendment guarantees an individuals right to own a gun in United States v. Emerson. This case is in Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. FOURTH AMENDMENT: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and ef fects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Metcalfs problems started when BATF agents raided his trailer, trashed it and confiscated military-issue fire arms that were legally in his possession. FIFTH AMENDMENT: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; not shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

-Caveat Lector- from; http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ Click Here: A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A -The Religion Business Jews Angry at Pork-Eating Russian Goys "Eating pig is like taking drugs." A DISPUTE over the right of Israelis to eat pork is deepening the divisions between Orthodox Jews and recent immigrants from Russia, who have brought with them a taste for the forbidden meat. After Orthodox Jews demonstrated in the town of Beit Shemesh, calling for the closure of all pork butchers, Russian immigrant leaders were talking of "civil war" between the communities. The trouble began when statistics released last month showed that immigrants from Russia were now mainly non-Jews. Orthodox religious leaders claimed that the Jewish state was filling up with pork-eating "goys" - an abusive term for gentiles. According to immigration figures, only 47 per cent of those arriving from Russia this year are Jewish by religious standards, that is, having a Jewish mother. The non-Jewish majority is allowed in either as dependents of Jews or under a loophole in the Law of Return that allows anyone with one Jewish grandparent to live in Israel. The battle between the two communities is now being fought over the issue of eating pork, which is widespread among the Russian immigrants. Many grew up drinking vodka with the traditional accompaniment of slabs of pork fat. At the rally in Beit Shemesh, a leading rabbi, David Benizri, the brother of cabinet minister Shlomo Benizri, said: "The Russians have flooded the country with tens of thousands of non-Jews who have no connection with Judaism. Satan has reared his head and is filling our town with their abomination." Some of the crowd held placards saying: "Russians go home!" The goal of the campaign is to close the six pork butchers that have opened in the town. Already, 30 delicatessens are under a court order to stop selling pork in the port of Ashkelon, which has a large, Russian-speaking population. Rabbi Benizri was unrepentant. He said: "There is nothing so anti-Jewish as pig. Eating pig is like taking drugs." Pigs are unclean animals according to Jewish law. Pig farming in Israel is not illegal but the animals must be kept in sties on stilts so that they do not contaminate the soil. Immigrants from the former Soviet Union now number about one million - one-sixth of Israel's population - and their leaders made clear that they would not be cowed by the rabbis. Natan Sharansky, the leader of the main Russian-speaking party, accused Orthodox Jews of trying to force the new immigrants into "ghettoes" in Israel. Russian community leaders fear that the war of words will make it even harder to turn the Russian immigrants into Israelis with Jewish values. They already watch Moscow television stations by cable and have their own Russian-language newspapers. For many of them, eating pork is a badge of defiance against the religious establishment. The London Telegraph, November 24, 1999 EgyptAir 990 Egypt Keeps FBI Out of 990 Probe Louis Freeh forgot to say his prayers. CAIRO Egypt's transport minister yesterday said President Hosni Mubarak's intervention with President Clinton was responsible for preventing the probe into the crash of an EgyptAir flight from being transferred to U.S. criminal investigators. In the Egyptian government's first major statement on the inquiry into the disaster, Ibrahim Dumeiri also accused U.S. aircraft maker Boeing Corp. of trying to rig the investigation. "Mubarak's personal call to Clinton prevented the investigation from being turned over to the FBI," Mr. Dumeiri told some 20 members of parliament's transport committee, a claim that was swiftly contradicted by the White House. He said Mr. Mubarak intervened to make sure the probe would "conform with scientific methods." Because of that, he said, the probe was left in the hands of aviation experts from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) rather than the FBI, which would normally take over if it was believed that a criminal act had brought Flight 990 down. White House spokesman Joe Lockhart immediately denied that Mr. Clinton had received any direct request from the Egyptian leader about the inquiry. "There was no phone call or exchange of letters or messages between them," Mr. Lockhart said in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, where Mr. Clinton was visiting yesterday. But U.S. officials admitted Egypt had intervened through other channels to see that the investigation remained in the hands of the NTSB. [In Washington, three high-ranking FBI officials told The Washington Times that agents, including crime scene experts and other specialists, were actively preparing to take over the EgyptAir 990 investigation when they were suddenly told to "stand down."

[CTRL] Phony Oswald in Mexico
-Caveat Lector- .. Forwarded from the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Phony Oswald in Mexico Date: Monday, November 22, 1999 9:18 PM -- -- The following information sort of puts a dent in the "magic bullet" and "one assassin" doesn't it? Mel Oswald impersonator called embassy Monday, November 22, 1999 By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press WASHINGTON - Hours after President Kennedy was assassinated, FBI agents reportedly listened to a tape of a phone call that a man identifying himself as "Lee Oswald" had placed to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. They made a startling discovery: The voice on the tape was not Oswald's, government records say. This controversial tape has been a question mark in the assassination investigation since Kennedy was killed. The assassination occurred 36 years ago today and only now have new details about the tape come to light. The CIA said years ago that the tapes on which it recorded the call were erased. Documents released in recent years said otherwise. The latest and newest of declassified documents offer more evidence that the tapes survived. The discovery that the voice on the tape was someone other than Oswald was a "disquieting discovery because the man who impersonated Oswald was still at large," said John Newman, an ex-military intelligence analyst, author and professor at the University of Maryland. Oswald was in Mexico City in September and October 1963. During his one-week stay, he contacted the Soviet Embassy and the Cuban consulate, inquiring about visas needed to go to the Soviet Union via Cuba. It is widely known that the CIA bugged telephones and took surveillance photos at both the embassy and consulate. But the agency maintained that it had routinely erased and reused tapes of the phone intercepts. A message from the CIA's Mexico City station to headquarters on Nov. 24, 1963, said: "HQ has full transcripts all pertinent calls. Regret complete recheck shows tapes for this period already erased." It was also known that while he was in Mexico City, Oswald had contact with Valeriy Kostikov - a man that one CIA memo described as a "case officer in an operation which is evidently sponsored by the KGB's 13th Department responsible for sabotage and assassination." It was the caller who is thought to have impersonated Oswald who links him to this Soviet spy unit known as Department 13. Newly declassified documents - some released in the past six months - say that after the president was shot, a Navy plane carried a top-secret package from Mexico City to Dallas and landed there about 4 a.m. EST the day after the murder. Former FBI Agent Eldon Rudd, later a Republican congressman from Arizona, was aboard the plane. "There were no tapes to my knowledge," Rudd said in a telephone interview. "I brought the pictures up (from Mexico) and it was my understanding that it was just pictures." Documents contradict Rudd's understanding. A newly released memo dated Nov. 27, 1963, from FBI headquarters to its office in Mexico City, stated: "If tapes covering any contacts subject (Oswald) with Soviet or Cuban embassies available, forward to bureau for laboratory examination and analysis together with transcript. Include tapes previously reviewed Dallas if they were returned to you." And a transcript of a telephone call FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover made to President Johnson just six hours after the plane arrived in Dallas supports the belief that FBI agents listened to a tape that suggested an impersonation. "We have up here the tape and the photograph of the man who was at the Soviet embassy using Oswald's name," Hoover told Johnson, according to a transcript of that call released in 1993. "That picture and the tape do not correspond to this man's voice, nor to his appearance. In other words, it appears that there is a second person who was at the Soviet embassy down there." While they would not speculate about the identity of the caller, several assassination researchers privately offered some explanations: Oswald could have been impersonated by a CIA officer who called the Soviet Embassy simply to fish for details about what Oswald was doing in Mexico City. Or, maybe someone was trying to link Oswald to the KGB's assassination unit before Kennedy's murder. Whatever the answer, there was plenty of reason for worry in Washington about any evidence pointing to Soviets or Cubans as somehow involved in the assassination. Relations with the former Soviet Union were icy. Both sides were armed with nuclear weapons. The Cuban missile crisis was still very much on America's mind. "The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that

Re: [CTRL] [Fwd: Why are we in debt?]
-Caveat Lector- Nurev, Your use of the word, 'money', in the context used, is grossly incorrect! Money=gold and silver. Recommend the word, 'fiat paper'. See: Free Coinage Act, April 2, 1792, http://members.aol.com/FTUN/index.html The 'government' has not 'created' any 'money' since the advent of the federal reserve, which is not federal and has no reserve, and is owned by the member private banking thugs. The FRS creates 'fiat paper'; which is of itself completely worthless. See the foregoing Website and see how we have been screwed by the d.c. thugs. You may not be old enough to know that the thug FDR took the public off the gold standard in 1933, March 4th I believe, and at the same time removed the constraints of our Constitution in operating the federal government. We have, since that time, been operating under what is commonly known as, 'public policy'. This is one factor that accounts for the prolific use of Executive Orders by the Rapist. Highly recommend you visit the above Website, as well as pass this Post along to assist the populace in knowing they have been shafted all these years. lol Regards, Bard P.S.: On this Day of Thanksgiving, I extend "Blessings of Abundance and Health in all things Good." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821- In a letter to Gideon Granger.

Why, all of it, surely? Surely a government is responsible for the currency of the nation? When people are told that the same statistical release from the Bank of England shows that the total of money created by the Treasury on behalf of the UK Government is a mere £25 billion of notes and coins, they naturally ask where does the rest of the £680 billion come from? What is the origin of the £655 billion which has not been created by the government? If they are then informed that this other £655 billion - 97% of all money in the United Kingdom - has been created entirely by banks and building societies, and that they have created this staggering quantity of money out of nothing, most people are totally flummoxed. If you or I make money, this is called counter-feiting, and we are looking at the prospect of four walls, iron bars and a slim glimmer of daylight in twenty years time. If they then ask how private, commercial companies can create money, and are told that it is their mortgage, their personal loan and their overdraft which has led to the creation of this £655 billion; that governments rely upon the majority of people going into debt simply to create money to supply the economy; that virtually every pound in existence, whether circulating or deposited in bank accounts, is matched by an equivalent pound of debt - if they are told this, people generally stop asking questions.

And it is further recommended, that servile labor, and such recreation as, though at other times, innocent, may be unbecoming the purpose of this appointment, be omitted on so solemn an occasion. Friday, October 3lst. I777. RESOLVED, That a committee of three be appointed to prepare a recommendation to the several states, to set apart a day for thanksgiving, for the signal success, lately obtained over the enemies of these United States: The members chosen, Mr. S.

-Caveat Lector- George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:" Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best. Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789. G. Washington (his actual signature) NOTE: Shortly after the Thanksgiving Proclamation was written, it was lost for 130 years. The original document was written in long hand by William Jackson, secretary to the President, and was then signed by George Washington. It was probably misplaced or mixed in with some private papers when the US capitol moved from New York to Washington, D.C. The original manuscript was not placed in the National Archives until 1921 when Dr. J. C. Fitzpatrick, assistant chief of the manuscripts division of the Library of Congress found the proclamation at an auction sale being held at an art gallery in New York. Dr Fitzpatrick purchased the document for $300.00 for the Library of Congress, in which it now resides. It was the first official presidential proclamation issued in the United States. -- ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Patriot Resource Center: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6627/ **Live Free or Die!** DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Ecology and the indian
-Caveat Lector- http://www.nytimes.com/library/national/science/111699sci-animal-buffalo.htm l November 16, 1999 Historians Revisit Slaughter on the Plains By JIM ROBBINS ISSOULA, Mont. -- The wanton slaughter of millions of bison in the 19th century by white hide hunters, abetted by a military intent on subjugating Indians, is probably the most famous conservation horror story in United States history. The problem with this tale, a growing number of scholars and historians say, is that it is not true. As portrayed in a number of new books, the real story of the decline of the buffalo involves a significant change in climate, competition for forage and cattle-borne disease. Another major factor, the authors say, were Indian tribes, empowered by the horse and gun and driven to hunt buffaloes for the profits that came from hides and meat. "What most people don't consider in their 'Dances With Wolves' version of history is that Indians were involved in the market," said Dr. Dan Flores, the A.B. Hammond professor of Western history at the University of Montana. "They were cashing in on buffalo in the 1840s as their principal entree into the market economy, and very few species are able to survive when they become a commodity." White hunters who killed buffaloes by the millions in the 1870s and 1880s played a major role in the demise, said Flores, but only as the coup de grace. "The hide hunters are not off the hook," he said. "They share the burden of the final mop-up. But without their involvement, the buffalo would probably have only lasted another 30 years." That is because their numbers had been so greatly reduced by the other factors. The buffalo studies are part of a continuing debate about the role of Indians in Western history. In "The Ecological Indian" (W.W. Norton, 1999), for example, Shepard Krech III, an anthropologist at Brown University, argues against the romantic image of the Indian as the first environmentalist. When Indians had had the means and the motive, he says, they abused nature for profit. Flores, whose work on buffalo has appeared in The Journal of American History and elsewhere, is writing a book on bison under contract with Yale University Press. And Dr. Drew Isenberg, an assistant professor of history at Princeton, has a book called "The Destruction of the Bison: An Environmental History, 1750-1920," which will be published by Cambridge University Press in April. Not everyone subscribes to the new wave. Dr. Vine Deloria Jr., a professor of history at the University of Colorado at Boulder and a member of the Standing Rock Sioux, finds the revisionism preposterous. "It's nonsense," he said. "The Indians did not make any appreciable dent in buffalo numbers in the Northern Plains. It's anti-Indian stuff." Indians were involved in the buffalo market, scholars generally agree. Their acquisition of horses and guns made buffalo hunting much easier. As steamboats started plying the Missouri River into the heart of buffalo country in the 1840s, hide hunting by the Kiowa, Blackfeet, Sioux and other Plains tribes soared. For the first time, there was a way to haul the bulky robes back East, where they became popular as a covering during cold weather travel and for leather goods. Indians found they could trade the robes for firearms, lead balls, gunpowder, blankets, textiles, pots and pans and whiskey. Isenberg estimates that before the 1840s, 60,000 Plains Indians were killing half a million bison a year for sustenance. After the robe trade began in the 1840s, that total went over 600,000 a year, "clearly into unsustainable range," he said. While white hunters killed more buffaloes (their total throughout the West is estimated at four million), Flores argues that Indians concentrated their killing on buffalo cows, which had more tender meat and were much easier to skin and treat, resulting in severe damage to the herds' reproductive capacity. Environmental factors play large roles in newer histories of the West. For example, Flores says that the study of tree rings, or dendrochronology, suggests that Indians were so effective in decimating the buffalo because climate had already weakened and diminished the herds. From the 1500s to the mid-19th century, a period known as the little ice age, tree rings show that the climate in the West was much colder than normal. That favored the grasses buffaloes eat, and they flourished. When a long, widespread drought ended the little ice age in the mid-1800s, the grasses changed and the bison population crashed just as the tribes began market hunting. At the same time, Flores said, buffaloes began having to compete for forage with horses that were brought by the Spaniards to North America in the 1500s and later went feral. By the 1800s, Flores estimates, two million horses were sharing the range with the buffalo. Flores and the others also differ from their predecessors in their use of Indian sources.

[CTRL] Burma: Junta's Links to Drug Dealers Proven
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave GREEN LEFT WEEKLY E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.greenleft.org.au - Number 386, 24 November 1999 - _ BURMA: JUNTA'S LINKS TO DRUG DEALERS PROVEN _ By Sean Healy A videotape smuggled out of Burma by Thai drug investigators has provided further evidence of the close links between Burma's military regime and heroin traffickers. The videotape shows an October 1 meeting between intelligence chief Lieutenant General Khin Nyunt and Burma's most powerful drug baron, Wei Xuegang, in a village controlled by Wei's United Wa State Army (UWSA). According to the November 3 Bangkok Post, Khin was on an inspection tour of Wei's new military headquarters and was seen in the video pointing at building works and asking questions. "The general clearly was at ease in the company of the drug lord and his commanders", stated the Post report. The regime denied any sinister undertones to the meeting, saying that it was part of regime's efforts to convince the drug lords to change their ways. Burma is the world's second largest producer of heroin, after Afghanistan. The United Nations Drug Control Program claimed that, during the last poppy growing season (September 1998 to February), 1085 tonnes of opium gum were produced in Burma, enough to produce more than 100 tonnes of heroin. This figure is 38% less than the previous year's crop, a reduction that the regime claims was a result of its programs but which the UNDCP claims was due mainly to poor weather. The reduction was in any case more than offset by a dramatic increase in the production of amphetamines; according to an official of Thailand's Narcotics Control Board, 300 million amphetamine pills are produced annually in areas controlled by the drug lords. The videotape is not the first report of a meeting between Khin and Wei. The Bangkok Post reported on April 10 that they were to meet the following day in the village of Yawn on the Thai-Burma border. Production doubled Since the ruling junta led by Khin took direct power in 1988, opium production in Burma has doubled. Since 1989, the regime has sought cease-fire agreements with former insurgent groups, granted them local autonomy and encouraged -- even participated in -- the drug trade. Wei's UWSA is the dominant force in the drug trade in the "Golden Triangle", centred on Shan state in north-west Burma. The Wa are amongst the poorest of Burma's many ethnic minorities, living in nearly inaccessible mountains on the Burma-China border. Only 10% of Wa households have access to electricity, and schools, hospitals and roads are almost non-existent. For many Wa farmers, the pittance paid by drug lords for their poppy crop is the only possible source of cash. The UWSA originated in mass defections from the Communist Party of Burma in 1989, which had controlled large portions of Shan state from the 1970s. The UWSA immediately sought a cease-fire with the regime, and its leaders turned to the drug trade. By 1996, the UWSA had been able to displace Khun Sa and his Mong Tai Army as Burma's largest drug traffickers and had seized control of Khun Sa's former strongholds on the Thai-Burma border. The regime then negotiated a deal with Khun Sa to allow him to "retire" to Rangoon and launder his wealth through Burmese state banks. Since then, the UWSA has been given a free hand by the regime. In 1995, the regime recognised the UWSA's control of Mong Yawn, proclaiming it a "special administrative zone" for the next five years. On July 29, the Bangkok Post reported that the regime had extended this recognition for a further five years. Investments The regime's interest in the drug trade has been twofold. Drug money has funded major economic developments in Burma, which have enriched the regime and enabled it to get around international trade sanctions and restrictions. According to a report by Leslie Kean and Dennis Bernstein in the spring 1998 edition of the US magazine Covert Action Quarterly, Khun Sa has invested US$250 million in a new highway between Rangoon and Burma's second largest city, Mandalay, in the north. Another drug lord, Lo Xinghan, has also invested millions in a deepwater port in Rangoon, an express bus line into northern Burma and a US$33 million tollway from the heart of Burma's poppy-growing region to the China border, all of which can support expansion of the drug trade. Lo Xinghan is Khin Nyunt's special adviser for ethnic affairs. Much of the funding for Lo's projects has come from private and public firms in Singapore, firms which have also been involved in arms sales and infrastructure deals with the regime. For instance, Singapore Technologies, a publicly owned conglomerate, built a new communications centre for Burma's regime which allows it to intercept incoming telephone calls, faxes, e-mails

-Caveat Lector- **...far and wide!** (see sender's commentary below) X DRUDGE REPORT X WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1999 16:20:55 ET X SHEEHY: HILLARY ORDERED KOSOVO BOMBING, 'PROBABLY' SMOKED POT Hillary Clinton biographer Gail Sheehy tells NBC'S DATELINE in a segment set for air on November 29 that after the Monica Lewinsky affair was revealed, Hillary Clinton refused to speak to the President for eight months. According to Sheehy, the standoff did not end until one day in March, 1999 when Hillary called the president telling him to begin bombing Kosovo! Sheehy tells DATELINE'S Stone Phillips: "The day after she said that, he [Bill Clinton] announced that he was informing his NATO allies that he was recommending a bombing campaign." MORE... Sheehy also concludes in her book, "Hillary's Choice", that Hillary Rodham "probably" used marijuana during her college days. From an interview with Hillary Clinton's college love, David Rupert: "Some of us were inhaling." Pressed further, Rupert stated: "I don't have to go there, but you can read between the lines." Sheehy tells Phillips: "They partook of what everybody else in their age group did in 1968 and `69. They went to parties where people were smoking and they probably smoked." A spokesman for Hillary Clinton stands by all previous statements in which the First Lady denies illegal drug use. Will Hillary have to answer drug questions in her run for the Senate? "Probably, just like almost every other candidate has had to answer," Sheehy says. MORE... Sheehy also tells Phillips that Hillary almost left Bill in 1990 due to the revelation of a woman now known through the Paula Jones civil suit as "Jane Doe #1". "The affair, which has never been described before, almost drove a stake through that marriage. He [Clinton] became obsessed with her. He would call her sometimes 18 times a day. He made hundreds of phone calls to her over a period of a year and a half." Both Jane Doe #1 and the president deny that an affair occurred, maintaining that theirs was a friendship. Sheehy tells Stone that this friendship left Hillary "shattered", and caused her to give Bill an ultimatum: Says Sheehy: "She could give him forgiveness for his previous transgressions, give him cover so that he could run for President in `92, but she would not condone an ongoing affair. That was the price." Developing hot...
