This year is obviously different, since it is also the end of the decade - and the millennium. We've decided to pass on forecasts for the millennium or century. The risk is mitigated by the fact that we won't be around to take the heat for incorrect forecasts. Nevertheless, our process doesn't go out that far. We have decided to issue a new decade forecast to supersede the one created in 1995. The new decade global forecast will be released Dec. 19, in our weekly mailing. More detailed regional forecasts will be simultaneously posted to our web site. We will release our 2000 annual forecast Jan. 3, 2000. We have decided to begin our annual forecasting process this year with a retrospective evaluation of our last decade forecast, which covered 1995-2005. Since we are at mid-course on that forecast, it is important to evaluate which elements have been fulfilled, which we still expect will be fulfilled and which we were wrong about. The original forecast can be found at [ http://www.stratfor.com/services/giu/decade.asp ]. We will assume that our readers have had access to it in reading this evaluation. Analysis: Our decade forecast began by asserting that we were in the grip of two contradictory trends. On one hand, we said that we were in a period of unprecedented economic prosperity and growth. On the other hand, we foresaw increasing international tension. We feel comfortable that this fundamental trend has been in place for the past five years, will continue into the next decade and will intensify, as we will discuss in the new decade forecast next week. The assumptions, made in 1995, that global prosperity and conflict are incompatible have proven generally untrue. There are two reasons for this. First, prosperity and growth can generate conflict quite as easily as they can defuse it. For example, World War I occurred during a period of tremendous prosperity. Second, as we point out later in our decade forecast, a general global prosperity does not mean universal prosperity. One of the trends we forecast was a growing disparity between the U.S. economy and that of Asia and Russia. That has happened and will increasingly tend to destabilize the system. In our specific economic forecasts we said: "The United States is by far in the best financial and demographic position to capitalize on this tendency [massive economic growth]." Obviously, we were correct on this forecast and continue to be extremely bullish on the U.S. economy. As we will see next week, we do not foresee major economic problems until after 2005, although we certainly do expect a short recession before then. "The European Union's enjoyment of this period will be limited somewhat by Germany's ongoing digestive problems - absorbing the old East Germany - and an inability to create a Monetary Union." Here we were both clearly right and very wrong. Germany has certainly had serious economic problems that have limited Europe's economic dynamism. On the other hand, we were clearly in error on our Euro forecast. It was in fact created. It is worth pausing to consider why we made that error. Monetary policy is the key to economic policy. It is also the place where politics and economics meet directly. The European Union contains a large number of economies, all at different points in their business cycle. The creation of a single monetary policy must, by definition, help some countries while it hurts others. A one-size- fits-all policy doesn't work. In the United States, diverging economic interests helped drive the South to secede from the Union. Its ability to secede was not decided economically or politically, but militarily. Since there was no central military power in Europe to force nations into the Euro, or to keep them there once policies harming particular national interests were in place, it followed that resistance to the new currency would be substantial. We therefore predicted that the Euro wouldn't get off the ground. But we didn't calculate two things into the equation. The first
[CTRL] The Monuments Of Mars:
-Caveat Lector- An oldie but a goodie.. I presume RH has read Thoth by now.. Peter http://www.eclecticviewpoint.com/evhoag.html The Monuments Of Mars: A City on the Edge of Forever Presented By Richard Hoagland, June, 1992 This is newsletter #5 What if it were possible to solve the mysteries surrounding England's Crop Circles, Stonehenge, The Great Pyramid of Giza, and the Sphinx, as well as have Free Energy? All of these mysteries on planet Earth have been linked by Richard Hoagland in an incredible theory that involves the Cydonia region on Mars. Hoagland, author of The Monuments of Mars: A City on the Edge of Forever, has spent nine years researching the mile-long, 1500 ft. high humanoid Face and surrounding structures photographed on the surface of Mars by the Viking orbiter in 1976. In a major presentation before two overflow audiences of ambassadors and delegates to the United Nations on Feb. 27, Hoagland said that what he and professionals in physics, engineering, cartography, mathematics, anthropology, architecture, and other fields have uncovered in a series of independent investigations "points to something profound waiting for us on Mars, something that will have major implications for every person on this planet." Having trained in the hard sciences of biology and physics, Hoagland is a brilliant multi-disciplinarian in many fields of study. He was Curator of the Museum of Science in Springfield, Massachusetts, at the age of nineteen and has held special directorships at the Gengras Planetarium in West Hartford and the Hayden Planetarium in New York City. Serving as a Science and Space Consultant to the major television networks in the mid 1960s, Richard Hoagland was an advisor to Walter Cronkite for the Apollo moon program. Also a consultant to NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Center, Hoagland, along with Eric Burgess, conceived the first interstellar message (conveying that there was an intelligent life form on planet Earth) which accompanied Pioneer 10 on its voyage beyond the solar system. The series of events which Hoagland relates involving the decade of research into the Face on Mars sounds like a scientific detective story. Using state of the art scientific techniques such as computer imaging as well as "fractal analysis" (the test applied to satellite images of the deserts of Iraq that allowed the U.S. to pick out well camouflaged tanks as being artificial from the surrounding terrain), the investigators were able to determine that the Face was the most unnatural and intrinsically different of any mesa in the photographs as well as being bilaterally symmetrical. Also, structures near the Face were determined to be quantitatively different from the surrounding terrain. One of these structures (referred to as the D M) was found to be a five-sided pyramid repeatedly encoded with fundamental mathematical constants that were replicated in relationships between the other structures and the Face in the Cydonia region. The sides of the D M also had the same ratio as the "Golden Mean" encoded in Leonardo da Vinci's famous figure of a man inscribed in a circle. Other mathematical calculations led to the discovery that the pyramid had encoded its own position on Mars in its internal geometry (which they later found repeated in many other pyramids on Earth). Reeling from the implications of the redundancy found in their calculations, Hoagland and this group of multi-disciplinary scientists found that encoded into a tetrahedron-shaped pyramid on the edge of a crater in the Cydonia region was a formula for determining where the major energy spots of each planet in our solar system would be located. The basic message in this tetrahedron geometry was that by spinning a tetrahedron inside a sphere (such as Earth) there will be a vorticular upwelling of energy at 19.5 degrees north or south of the equator. Planetary examples of this include the volcanos in the Hawaiian Island, the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, Olympus Mons on Mars, the volcanos on Venus and the peak sunspot activity on the sun. Based on this pattern, Hoagland and his associates predicted in a paper published two weeks before Voyager II reached Neptune in 1989 that the Great Dark Spot on Neptune would be at 19.5 degrees south. Their prediction proved to be correct. Even the major volcanic complex on Triton, the little moon of Neptune, fit the pattern by being at 19.5 degrees north. (Is it coincidence that most of the pyramids on Earth and many of the ancient ceremonial sites are located at this same latitude of 19.5 degrees with its concomitant high level of energy?) Hoagland finds the same tetrahedron geometry repeated in the crop circles of England. "What it means," he says, "is that someone not only knows the same
[CTRL] Former Friends Lewinsky and Tripp to Meet in Court (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- December 13, 1999--NYTimes Former Friends Lewinsky and Tripp to Meet in Court By JILL ABRAMSON and NEIL A. LEWIS WASHINGTON -- For the first time since their fateful friendship and taped conversations set off the investigation of a president, Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp will confront each other, this time in court. Ms. Lewinsky is on the witness list for a pretrial hearing, scheduled to begin on Monday in Howard County, Md., where Mrs. Tripp faces charges that she illegally taped their telephone calls. In July, Mrs. Tripp, who had brought her secretly recorded conversations with Ms. Lewinsky about Ms. Lewinsky's affair with President Clinton to the attention of the independent counsel Kenneth Starr, was indicted on two criminal charges by a Maryland grand jury. Mrs. Tripp's trial is scheduled to begin next month, but Judge Diane Leasure granted her request for a pretrial hearing on whether prosecutors had obtained evidence from statements Mrs. Tripp made under a grant of immunity from prosecution from Starr's office. Ms. Lewinsky's testimony is expected later this week, said her lawyer, Plato Cacheris, although the exact date was uncertain. She was put on the witness list by the Maryland prosecutor, Stephen Montanarelli. "She is not enthusiastic about going in and testifying about this," Cacheris said. "She would just as soon all these episodes would subside and she could get on with the rest of her life." Ms. Lewinsky has not exchanged words with or seen Mrs. Tripp, in whom she confided the details of her relationship with Clinton, since the day in January 1998 that agents and prosecutors from Starr's office swooped down on her. Mrs. Tripp had invited Ms. Lewinsky to the Ritz Carlton Hotel near the Pentagon, where both women once worked. That day, the last words Ms. Lewinsky uttered to Mrs. Tripp, her one-time confidante, were a sarcastic "Thanks a lot." And her feelings of betrayal were again captured when Ms. Lewinsky completed her testimony on Aug. 20, 1998, before Starr's grand jury by stating, "And I hate Linda Tripp." Now the tables have turned. While it was Ms. Lewinsky who was once in legal jeopardy because of her affair with the president, it is now Mrs. Tripp, who views herself as a courageous whistle-blower who brought evidence of illegal behavior in the White House to Starr's attention, who faces prosecution. (Besides Mrs. Tripp, only one figure in the investigation that led to Clinton's impeachment by the House of Representatives and subsequent acquittal in the Senate has faced criminal charges. She is Julie Hiatt Steele, a peripheral figure in the Lewinsky investigation who was indicted on federal fraud charges but not convicted.) If convicted on criminal charges of willfully violating a state law that prohibits the recording of telephone conversations without the consent of the person being recorded, Mrs. Tripp faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Ms. Lewinsky has begun to rebuild her life, granting interviews to Barbara Walters of ABC News, who named her one of the "most fascinating" people of the year, and hawking bags that she designed on an Internet site, therealmonicainc.com. She also has a business relationship with the Jenny Craig diet empire. But Mrs. Tripp remains stressed and angry over the fact that she is the one still enmeshed in legal trouble. "This has been a tremendous ordeal for her," said a friend, Phillip Coughter, who is acting as her spokesman. "Linda has no doubt that this is a politically motivated prosecution. She believes she is being punished for having stepped forward and cooperated with the Office of the Independent Counsel." Mrs. Tripp's defenders have maintained that the Maryland state charges against her were politically motivated and fueled by Democratic allies of the White House in Maryland. Montanarelli has denied that the case is political. The events leading to this week's hearing began when Mrs. Tripp told Starr's prosecutors that she believed Clinton and his friend Vernon Jordan had been coaching Ms. Lewinsky to perjure herself about the affair. What's more, she said, she possessed recordings of her telephone conversations with Ms. Lewinsky that provided evidence. Some of those tapes are now at the heart of the criminal
[CTRL] Panamanians Have Mixed Feelings About Canal Transfer (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- December 13, 1999--NYTimes Panamanians Have Mixed Feelings About Canal Transfer By DAVID GONZALEZ PANAMA CITY, Panama -- With the zest of salesmen and the zeal of patriots, Panamanian officials tout ambitious plans to convert sprawling acres of formerly off-limits properties along their famous canal into bustling commercial hubs and tropical tourist oases. Smooth and practiced, they vow to create more jobs than the U.S. military presence here ever did, eagerly projecting millions of dollars in revenue to benefit social programs in health, education and housing. But for a nation about to receive what amounts to a $5 billion bonanza, there have been few outward signs of celebration leading up to what on Tuesday will be the symbolic transfer of the canal and the thousands of buildings, airstrips and military installations along the waterway's 50-mile route from U.S. to Panamanian hands. Banners and billboards proclaiming the fulfillment of the 1977 treaty signed between President Jimmy Carter and Gen. Omar Torrijos to hand over the canal are noticeably lonely sights, reflecting Panamanian ambivalence and skittishness over the loss of U.S. jobs and money, and skepticism about their own government's ability. It is Panama's singular version of the Y2K glitch: how to deal with a day that people once thought would never come. "It's 'Gringo, stay home,"' said Guillermo Sanchez Borbon, a Panamanian writer who was exiled under the regime of Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega. "The Panamanians don't trust the politicians to keep this thing going. Now the gringos are going, and if anything goes wrong, we have to fix it. And people are terrified. They don't trust the Panamanian government. They don't trust themselves." The occasion is without question a landmark in Panama's path toward transforming itself from a nation both nurtured and overshadowed by the United States into a fully sovereign state intent on proving to both its people and the world that it can succeed on its own. And government officials here speak with confidence and the coming-of-age emotion of a son leaving his father's house -- an image that incidentally was also used when Panama declared its independence from Colombia in 1903. But they know that full control of the canal and its properties brings with it enormous challenges and responsibilities for a country where corruption and partisan feuds have marked much of its political history. While most of the properties, except for the canal itself, have already been handed over and real control over the canal will not come until noon on Dec. 31, Panama will soon have to develop its own national security plans and foreign policy to protect its borders and the canal. And although the canal is already operated by an almost entirely Panamanian staff and will be overseen by an agency insulated from government meddling, officials must still seek to reassure the canal's users from all over the world that the operations of one of the world's most crucial passageways will remain safe and above board. More mundane, but equally important, they will also have to start attracting tourists to a place that most travelers had merely passed through, and where those who stopped did so mainly for business or banking. Ambivalence over the hand-over has also been reflected in the United States, where conservatives have lambasted the "loss" of the canal and raised alarms about Panamanian ventures with Chinese firms. Fears of a backlash may have prevented President Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright from attending Tuesday's events, but they have still expressed confidence in Panama's ability to manage the enormous trust it is inheriting. "Panama truly steps into a class of countries that have international responsibilities, because the canal is an international asset," said U.S. Ambassador Simon Ferro. "How they manage the canal will in large measure dictate how they are viewed by the rest of the world. It is going to be a very interesting future for Panama and the United States." Canal administrators said they had been preparing for years to make the transition as seamless as possible for the 14,000 ships that pass through the canal's locks on their route over the continental divide. Most of the employees who run the canal have
[CTRL] GOP Fears Hillary Will Steal National Treasures (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- DRUDGE LAWMAKERS SUGGEST AUDIT OF WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY BEFORE HILLARY MOVE **Exclusive** Several senior Republican lawmakers are privately expressing concern that government property may disappear during First Lady Hillary Rodham's move to New York, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. "The White House is filled with our national treasures... I hope they do not come up missing after all of this moving around!" one ranking congressman explained over the weekend. "How is Hillary planning to furnish that big house, when they've always lived in publicly funded housing? I think we need to get someone in there to audit the White House right now." The congressman, who refused to be named for this report, explains how other lawmakers have similar concerns about the status of White House property. "We've talked about raising this issue, but the leadership is worried it would be in very poor taste... You just can't come out and accuse the First Lady of robbery, for goodness sake. Especially, a robbery that has not yet happened!" Earlier this month Hillary Clinton indicated that she will soon move out of the White House, into her new million-dollar home in Chappaqua, New York. "I may have to buy some things, but we are mostly trying to use what we have," she told reporters at the White House last week. "While I'm waiting, I'm trying to get everything ready. We are pulling things out of storage to see what has to be covered and fixed." Mrs Clinton will be decorating and furnishing her own house for the first time in 20 years. White House officials declined to say precisely what the First Family has in storage. The congressman draws parallels to the situation in Israel last October when Israeli police raided the home and office of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, seizing dozens of expensive items -- boxes with gold, silver and expensive paintings -- they suspected him of keeping illegally after he was voted out of office. Both Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, were later questioned about the items by fraud investigators. "I'm not really concerned about the towels at the White House or the bedding," said the lawmaker, "but there are priceless treasures down there." A Clinton family friend late on Sunday called the concerns groundless and "hateful". "Who in their right mind would ever accuse the First Lady of stealing from the White House?... This is absolutely hateful!" The Clinton friend says the First Family will furnish their new house with private funds. "The first lady is looking forward to the move and the experience of decorating her new home," said the friend. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Maryland Judge to Weigh Tripp Wiretap Case (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Maryland Judge to Weigh Tripp Wiretap Case By David Morgan ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (Reuters) - A Maryland judge this week will take up the thorny question of whether Linda Tripp can be prosecuted under the state's wiretap law for recording a telephone conversation with Monica Lewinsky from her home in suburban Washington. Howard County Circuit Judge Diane Leasure will oversee two pre-trial hearings which could be an albatross for Democrats who pushed for the prosecution because the case will resurrect the White House sex scandal while Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites) is fighting for his party's presidential nomination. Tripp, the former White House secretary whose disclosures led to Clinton's impeachment, is scheduled to come to trial on Jan. 18, six days before the Iowa caucuses. Lawyers say the proceedings could be postponed until later in the year, possibly when the presidential race is in full stride. That could pose problems for Gore, who has worked to distance himself from the scandal while honing his own bid for the White House. Monica Lewinsky herself could be called this week to testify on behalf of the prosecution, which must prove that their evidence against Tripp has not been tainted by information derived from former Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation of the president. ``My instincts tell me that the prosecution, and I think everyone else in the state of Maryland, would like this to go away,'' said University of Maryland Law School Prof. Abe Dash. ``I have no doubt that from the governor on down... the feeling now is that if you're a Democrat you just don't want this spreading around in the papers and on TV while poor Gore is trying to win primaries.'' Tripp attorneys, who want the case dismissed, will have two opportunities to scuttle it this week, beginning with a hearing in which Leasure must decide if a conversation with Lewinsky that Tripp taped on Dec. 22, 1997, was covered by a grant of federal immunity early enough to prevent its use as evidence in a state criminal proceeding. Tripp is charged with making the recording and sharing its contents with Newsweek magazine. She could face five years in prison and $10,000 in fines on each of two counts. Maryland State Prosecutor Stephen Montanarelli claims the tape can be used as evidence because Tripp handed it to investigators on Jan. 16, 1998, with only an assurance of federal immunity from Starr's office. True immunity, he contends, did not begin until a judge ordered it on Feb. 19. Prosecutors admit that their case will be all but over if Leasure rules that immunity began in January. ``If immunity attaches on Jan. 16, it will make prosecution very difficult. We'd have to rethink whether to even proceed with the case,'' said Steve Halpert, an investigator with Montanarelli's office. Witnesses due to be called on the immunity question, including five members of Starr's office, are scheduled to testify Monday and Tuesday. Also scheduled for Tuesday is New York literary agent Lucianne Goldberg, who first advised Tripp to tape Lewinsky's conversations about the former White House intern's sexual affair with the president. Later in the week, Leasure will oversee a so-called Kastigar hearing in which prosecutors face the task of proving their evidence against Tripp is independent from the protected findings of Starr's investigation. Tripp attorneys say they may call Lewinsky to testify at the hearing if prosecutors do not. ``Our opinion is that their case is tainted no matter when you start the immunity,'' said Tripp lawyer David Irwin. ``It's ridiculous. This is a waste of government funds and a waste of taxpayer dollars. It's just absurd.'' = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- Published 12/13/99 Financing Chinas Red Army By James Hackett Beijing is using U.S. capital markets to finance its military modernization. Rep. Chris Cox has said Americans who buy Chinese securities without adequate disclosure are essentially lending money to the communist government of China. The spotlight on the World Trade Organization and the eagerness of the Beijing government to join it brings to mind another kind of trade with communist China the sale of stocks and bonds in Chinese government-owned companies for U.S. dollars. Roger Robinson, a member of the National Security Council staff in the Reagan administration who now chairs the William J. Casey Institute of the Center for Security Policy, has warned for years of the need for disclosure in such transactions. Then the Cox report, issued last May by a committee headed by Rep. Chris Cox, California Republican, on Chinas military and commercial activities, noted Beijings use of U.S. capital markets to finance its military modernization. Mr. Cox said Americans who buy Chinese securities without adequate disclosure are essentially lending money to the communist government of China. China is creating a modern military machine with the goal of projecting enough force to make Taiwan join the mainland on its terms, and if necessary to invade Taiwan while holding the United States at bay. Beijing is buying modern military equipment from Russia, including SU-27 and SU-30 fighter aircraft, Kilo submarines, air-to-air missiles, and other advanced weaponry. Add the domestic production of new aircraft, naval units, and medium-range ballistic missiles, and Beijing is acquiring weapons needed to attack Taiwan. But China also is producing advanced cruise missiles to threaten the U.S. Pacific Fleet and new intercontinental ballistic missiles that hold American cities at risk. Last year, China raised defense spending 15 percent, the 11th year in a row of double-digit increases. One source of hard currency for weapons purchases is the sale of stocks and bonds for dollars. John Berlau, writing in Investors Business Daily on July 27 and Sept. 7, revealed how the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) invested millions in Chinese companies with alleged ties to military or intelligence services. One is China International Trust and Investment Corp. (CITIC), which the Rand Corp. calls a conduit for military sales and acquisition. Another is Cosco Pacific, one of whose ships was seized by U.S. customs in 1996 for trying to smuggle 2,000 automatic weapons into the port of Oakland. Other Chinese companies with U.S. dollar investments include China Resources, cited by Sen. Fred Thompson as an agent of espionage economic, military, and political for China. Investors Business Daily reported that the Texas Teachers Retirement System and the Tennessee state pension fund also hold stock in this alleged front for Chinese military intelligence. Another company, China North Industries Group (NORINCO), reportedly is a significant part of Chinas Military apparatus. Poly Technologies, whose chairman also is chairman of CITIC, is said to be owned by the Peoples Liberation Army and acts as a conduit for Russian arms sales to China. Three state-owned banks, the Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and China Development Bank, have raised some $3.8 billion in bond offerings in U.S. dollars. It was the Bank of

I have a entire folder of comments about Buck from a whisle-blowing former FBI agent, who laughed his ass off when he read Revell's book, "A G-Man's Journal," and pointed out his lies and hypocracies. I suggest you read the readers' reviews about Buck's book on Amazon.com. Buck is suing us for $1,000,000 each! (good luck. I can't even pay my phone bill!). He wants me to sign an affidavit stating I was libelous. I refused. Feral House backed down under financial pressure. You've all heard that story before. Recall how the San Jose Mercury News backed down after it exposed the CIA's drug running? Feral House is a small shop, and can't afford a lawsuit. As for Buck, he has a long and sordid career, according to some, including acting as FBI damage-control point-man for Ollie North and his Contra operation. Discovery should be VERY interesting. My defense is being funded by an interested party. - David Hoffman ([EMAIL PROTECTED], 405-748-6467) *** WIRE:12/10/1999 Publisher agrees to destroy copies of book http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap19991210_1675.html OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ The California publisher of a controversial book about the Oklahoma City bombing will destroy copies of the book as part of a settlement of a lawsuit filed by a former FBI official over false and inaccurate statements in the book. Stan Twardy, attorney for former FBI official Oliver "Buck" Revell, said Friday that the number of books being destroyed was not available but he described it as "substantial." The publisher said all books in its distributor's warehouse would be destroyed. Revell said David Hoffman's book, "The Oklahoma City Bombing and The Politics of Terror" contained false and inaccurate statements about him and "by innuendo" portrayed him as a co-conspirator in the bombing. Feral House Inc. promised to destroy copies of the book to avoid "further dissemination of inaccurate statements." "Whatever `The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror' states, alleges or implies, it is now my understanding that Mr. Revell had nothing to do with any alleged CIA drug smuggling, so-called `death squads' or malfeasance involving the Oklahoma City bombing, before or after," Feral House President Adam Parfrey wrote in an open letter. The April 19, 1995, bombing killed 168 people and injured more than 500 others. The lawsuit is still pending against Hoffman and two of the book's sources.

Colonel Oliver North (who served under Shackley in Vietnam) and Associate Deputy FBI Director Oliver "Buck" Revell. "They wanted me to help create a 'death squad' that would have White House deniability to assassinate people they would identify as 'terrorists,'" said Wheaton.

(1) A few weeks ago, my 4"10" wife was mugged on her way home from work by a group of four black teenagers strategically positioned at different places around an intersection at night, stalking available prey. The assailant, estimated age 14, jumped her from behind and put her in a choke hold with one arm while with the other hand covering her mouth and squeezing her nose shut so she couldn't breathe. He dragged her backward toward the shadows, expecting her to lose consciousness, but instead, just when she was starting to get lightheaded, my wife "played dead" and stopped struggling. The boy relaxed his grip, as expected, and my wife let him have it -- elbowing him in the groin with karate-chop force. Her assailant yanked her purse out of her hand with such force that it dislocated two of her fingers and then took off running --running "oddly," as if trying to cross his legs as he ran-- toward the sanctuary of one of the two housing projects nearby. That's when my wife first saw his three cohorts, who emerged from their places to join him in flight. A woman just then driving by heard my wife yelling and pointing in the purse-snatcher's direction and called 911 for assistance. A squad car was in the area, luckily, and after getting the perpetrator's description from my wife, took off in token search of him, of course to no avail. Returning, the police officer who took my wife's report told her, "Call us if ever he attacks you AGAIN" -- on hearing which, of course, my by-then enraged wife gave him a big piece of her mind. (2) A couple of weeks earlier, a young woman had driven to a Gen-X "club" about two blocks from where we live. Her car was found, but she was never seen again. The neighborhood is now plastered with flyers giving her picture and a phone number where her family can be reached with any information regarding her, now a "missing person." Okay, enough for setting the scene. Now, on to last night's incident. (3) My wife was taking a bus home from work, just after sunset, as I waited for her (in order to walk her home, for safety's sake) in a cafe across from the bus stop. When she stepped off the bus she was frantic. Eight blocks earlier, idly looking out the window, she had watched a horrifying scene occurring at the intersection where the bus stopped for a red light: A woman on the sidewalk was dragged --screaming, crying for help-- into the passenger's side of a car that screeched up beside her. Then, with the door still hanging open and the woman's arm flailing while she screamed and struggled with her captor, the car had sped off as the light turned green, heading in the opposite direction from the bus. My wife had shaken two women sitting next to her, pointing at what was happening across the street, and they had all watched in horror, but the intersection was left behind. My wife ran forward to the bus driver and yelled at her that a woman was being forcibly abducted -- but the driver had just shrugged, ignoring her, and kept on going ... After a few words from my wife describing what she had witnessed, I hurried into the local grocery store and convinced the owner to let us use his phone to call 911. In a minute or two, I had the 911 operator on the line and proceeded to report the incident, putting my wife on the lline to provide time (15 minuites earlier, by then), location, and description of the vehicle and its direction. The operator said she was dispatching a squad car, and she asked our location, telling us to wait there until a car arrived to take a fuller report. We waited -- and waited -- and waited -- still no police officer -- until, ONE HOUR LATER, we gave up and left to take care of other necessary business.

My sympathies to the brave and principled Mrs. Das GOAT. I am sorry that she was targeted by criminals but gratified that she fought back. Kudos Mrs. G. You have described a takeover of right thinking and acting people by those driven by evil. It is in every city, however, as it is a product of America's Great Satan (eg, materialism, lust, me-first, power and other care and feeding of Self). Some feed Self by hurting others with physical violence, some by mental violence like oppression and some bynondirect means such as ruination of a nation's sovereignity, downgrading ofthe role of men in society, religious inquisitions, global shell gamesand more. The examples are numerous. I have no idea what to do about it. I just trust in God more and more, that's all I can do. God bless us every one.

Also I do not believe that photovoltaic techonology was that far along in the 1970s or is that far along today. Frankly I think this is a load of bull, but would love to hear your sources and be proven wrong. piper ** I was there. I worked for this company. I was an inside stock holder. I took solar cells we made to the testing labs which had to recalibrate their equipment to test our efficiencies because nobody else had them so high. We couldn't even afford the best equipment to make them with. After market used vacuum chambers and such are all we could afford. Galium Alluminum Arsenide substrates were used. The oil embargo was totally contrived by the oil cartel back in the early 1970s. A study was commissioned by uncle sam to find an alternative to oil. The top 50 scientists of the day wrote a report that was classified. It was known as the Sub Panel # 9 report. All of these 50 head bangers agreed that photovoltaics were the way to go. Within a few short years the breakthroughs could be accomplished. We got a hold of the report through the freedom of information act. (I guess it still worked sometimes back then.) We tried to talk to the scientist who signed off on it. None would talk with us and all denied that the report existed. We would confront them with signatures and the report and they would just walk away. A communist country offered us millions which we were willing to acccept. Then the feds came in right after and told us we couldn't except their money. We asked them why the US government couldn't fund us and they said thats not our job. Three tall Tenneco Executives came down from San Francisco one time to offer us enough $ for us to retire (I was in my early 20's at the time). All they said was that they wanted the US market and we could have the rest of the world. We said no. After the most exhaustive investigation the SEC ever did -- they took the longest with us than any co. previous -- the Securities and Exchange Commision gave us an effective registration date. That would allow us to sell our stock public. The VERY DAY we recieved this the Los Angeles feds. came down with a mail fraud indictment against the two top officers of the company. 90%+ of the time they were saying that the company is a fraud, and indict the co. also. They did not indict the co. They offered us a consent decree which implyed they really didn't have a case but the top officer of the co. was too proud to sign it because he was concerned about image. We might still be here today if he had. They said that our projections in our business plan were exagerated that was sent through the mail. Every co. in the land would be guilty of fraud if this were true. There was no definitive way to test the projections from a batch process to mass production. My wife died and my co. folded about this time. Gee what a beautiful life. I should have went into music and played my life away. The jury was given a very distorted picture. They convicted the two officers and they went to jail. We could not afford a lawyer that knew how to handle this case so a lawyer friend of one of the officers handled the case. The jury in their deliberations wanted to make the point that they thought it was noble fraud. They were being used and didn't know it. The government said we were living high and taking peoples money and just putting it in our pockets. Nobody had a dime afterwards. Everyone was broke except our largest stock holder who was an oil man. This old guy named Hampton Robinson from Texas wanted to do something good with his money before he died. An oil man - ironic huh? Would have made his kids fortune worthless eventually. I guess you can believe what you want. Call it all bull, I don't care a bit. I might suggest a willing suspension of disbelief and forget about it. We had it. It still exists. They don't want it out. Billions were at stake and we were all in it to bring it out and not let it get shelved, and just make $. I guess it was left over 60's consciousness that propelled us to try to make a better world and to hell with just going after a buck.

[CTRL] Vallee on Majestic 12
-Caveat Lector- Excerpt from "Revelations" by Jacques Vallee from Chapter 2, "Majestic 12" In December 1984 an anonymously mailed package reached Los Angeles television producer Jaime Shandera. In it was a roll of undeveloped film that turned out to contain eight pages of information, evidently from a November 1952 classified document. It included a cover letter addressed to President Eisenhower and mentioned top secret data about the crash of an unidentified flying object at Roswell, New Mexico. Revelation of the existence of these documents by Jaime Shandera, Bill Moore, and Stanton Friedman elicted various reactions among UFO enthusiasts. Most of them said, "We told you so! The proof of the coverup is at hand at last." Others, suspecting that the three researchers might be the targets of a manipulation or a hoax, wisely withheld comment. Skeptics like Phillip Klass went so far as to suggest that Bill Moore had manufactured the documents and mailed them to his friend. Accusations flew back and forth, becoming increasingly technical. Did the font of the typewriter match the machines used at the time? Did the style of the dates correspond to the correct military format, to the personal habits of the alleged official authors, or more prosaically, to one of the suspected perpetrators of a hoax? One of the early believers, ufologist Stanton Friedman, obtained a $16,000 grant from Dr. Bruce Maccabee's Fund for UFO Research to study the matter in depth. Predictably, his conclusion, released in mid-1990, was that the documents were genuine, but he brought no new evidence to prove it. The controversy may never be completely resolved, but it did produce some very interesting facts and some even more fascinating questions. According to Stanton Friedman, there are three primary "MJ-12" texts. The roll of film received by Shandera contained a document entitled "Briefing for President-Elect Eisenhower," dated November 18, 1952, consisting of eight pages. The last page was a memo under President Truman's signature to Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, dated September 24, 1947. These two items were the extent of the initial "leak." Sensational confirmation of their validity seemed to come to light when a third unsigned document was found in the National Archives. Dated July 14, 1954, it was a memo from Robert Cutler, Eisenhower's Special Assistant for National Security, to General Nathan Twining, Air Force Chief of Staff. It read, "The President has decided that the MJ-12 SSP briefing should take place during the already scheduled White House meeting of July 16 rather than following it as previously intended." Cutler did not sign the document, but his name and title are typed at the bottom of the page. The expression "MJ-12" referred to the Majestic Twelve, a group of experts secretly studying UFO evidence. According to Friedman, this document could not have been planted in the National Archives because, "it was in a classified box in a classified vault." This statement only makes sense if we assume that the individual responsible for the planting did not have access to the classified box in question. If MJ-12 is an inside job, designed and executed by a rogue group within the intelligence community --which is the most likely explanation today-- then Friedman's argument is obviously flawed. There are other reasons to believe that MJ-12 is a fake. Queried about this particular document, the Archives issued a memorandum, dated July 22, 1987, and signed by Jo Ann Williamson, Chief of the Military Reference Branch, pointing out that "this particular document poses problems" for many different reasons. It does not bear a top secret register number, an official government letter-head or a watermark, it is the only document referring to MJ-12 in the folder in question; a search for other relevant documents has located nothing; and the marking TOP SECRET RESTRICTED INFORMATION was not used during the Eisenhower administration (it only came into use at the National Security Council under Nixon). Furthermore, there are no records of an NSC meeting on July 16, 1954. Robert Cutler was visiting military installations in Europe and North Africa on the day he was supposed to have issued the memorandum. In other words, the National Archives does not believe the memorandum is genuine. This does not mean, of course, that some project called MJ-12 does not or did not, exist. Nor does it resolve the larger issue of the possible existence of aliens, dead or alive. It only deepens the mystery and it raises new questions. Among the new questions is the identity and motivation of the sender. If we are dealing with a genuine Deep Throat, why does he (or she) choose people like Shandera, Moore and Friedman, who are obscure as far as the national media are concerned? Why not select a well-known journalist, a reputable science

[CTRL] Fwd: FC: Illegal NSA spying? It won't be the first time -- a look at history
Spies Left Out in the Cold by Declan McCullagh ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 3:00 a.m. 13.Dec.1999 PST It's enough to spook any spy. Congress plans to hold hearings next year that will, for the first time in a quarter century, investigate whether the National Security Agency is too zealous for our own good. Much has changed since those hearings in 1975. Instead of being a place so secretive that the Department of Justice once abandoned a key prosecution rather than reveal the National Security Agency's existence in court, "the Fort" has become enmeshed in popular culture. Techno-thrillers like Enemy of the State, Mercury Rising, Sneakers, and even cut-rate TV series like UPN's 7 Days regularly depict NSA officials -- to their chagrin -- as eavesdrop-happy Nixonites. But one thing has remained the same. The agency is barred from spying inside the United States and is supposed to snoop only on international communications. Through a system reportedly named Echelon, it distributes reports on its findings to the US government and its foreign allies. Do those findings include intercepted email messages and faxes sent by Americans to Americans? Maybe, and that's what's causing all the fuss. News articles on Echelon have captured the zeitgeist of the moment, spurred along by PR stunts like "Jam Echelon" day. Newsweek reported this week that the NSA is going to "help the FBI track terrorists and criminals in the United States." (The agency denied it.) A 6 December New Yorker article also wondered about the future of Fort George Meade. That future could look a lot like the past: congressional action that, in the end, doesn't amount to much. For this article, Wired News reviewed the original documents and transcripts from the Church committee hearings that took place in the Watergate-emboldened Senate in 1975. The Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities published its final report in April 1976. It wasn't an easy process. NSA defenders tried their best to kick the public out of the hearing room and hold the sessions behind closed doors. "I believe the release of communications intelligence information can cause harm to the national security," complained Senator Barry Goldwater, a Republican who voted against disclosing information on illicit NSA surveillance procedures and refused to sign the final report. "The public's right to know must be responsibly weighed against the impact of release on the public's right to be secure Disclosures could severely cripple or even destroy the vital capabilities of this indispensible safeguard to our nation's security," said another senator. But Democratic Senator Frank Church and his allies on the committee prevailed, and disclosed enough information to give any Americans the privacy jitters. Among the findings: Shamrock: In 1945, the NSA's predecessor coerced Western Union, RCA, and ITT Communications to turn over telegraph traffic to the Feds. The project was codenamed Shamrock. "Cooperation may be expected for the complete intercept coverage of this material," an internal agency memo said. James Earl Ray: When the Feds wanted

Orlin Grabbe/A - Information Warfare US Proclaims New Year's Terrorist Threat What kind of terrorism is the government planning? WASHINGTON - The U.S. government is warning all Americans traveling or living abroad to take extra security precautions from now through the first week in January because intelligence officials have obtained ''credible information'' that terrorists are planning attacks ''specifically targeting American citizens.'' The global caution, issued by the State Department less than three weeks before the new year, said the intelligence information ''indicates that attacks could be planned for locations where large gatherings and celebrations will be taking place.'' The advisory did not name specific terrorists who were suspected of making preparations to harm Americans. Administration officials were cautious in discussing terrorist groups, but indicated that the group headed by Osama bin Laden, the fugitive the Saudi businessman, was the most important organization seeking to undermine U.S. interests. A State Department spokesman, James Foley, said the government had no evidence that Americans in the United States would be in danger but that U.S. citizens were among the targets of attacks that could occur anywhere else in the world. The U.S. national security adviser, Samuel Berger, said Sunday that the information about possible attacks was ''not specific with respect to location,'' adding that it constituted ''not a stop sign'' for travel, but a caution. Americans abroad, Mr. Berger said, should check with local embassies or consulates to find out ''if there are particular places they should stay away from.'' Asked by ABC News whether the warning applied to the Middle East in particular, Mr. Berger said: ''This is not just in the Middle East, but in any location. So I think there's a caution sign up. But not a stop sign.'' Secretary of State Madeleine Albright appeared to try to walk a careful line between cautioning and frightening people. ''We are concerned, obviously because there are a lot of activities going on, and I think that there are more specific indications'' of a possible attack, she told CBS News on Sunday. ''But we don't want to discourage people. We want people to be very vigilant and we want people to contact our embassies.'' She would not say whether there was particular concern about Mr. bin Laden, adding that more than one group might be involved. She repeated that the warning was meant for Americans abroad, not at home, and said, ''We are concerned about Americans traveling abroad and being in large groups.'' But she stopped short of advising year's end revelers to stay home. The new warning says that attacks could occur any time from now through New Year's and the first week in January, when the monthlong Muslim holy days of Ramadan end. The warning urges Americans abroad to ''avoid large crowds and gatherings, keep a low profile, and vary routes and times of all required travel.'' Two senators on the Select Intelligence Committee said Sunday that credible evidence had prompted the State Department's warning. ''These kind of warnings are not made lightly,'' Senator Jon Kyl, Republican of Arizona, said on CNN. ''This is a serious proposition. It should be taken seriously.'' Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, suggested on the same CNN program that the terrorists were working in Russia. ''There is a great deal of instability in a region where we would rather have stability,'' he said, which weakens law enforcement and oversight of activity by terrorists there. Government officials said the caution signaled a heightened degree of government concern. ''This means we have specific and credible information that terrorists are planning something,'' a senior administration official said. The threat to Americans that prompted the weekend warning is comparable in magnitude to ones that intelligence officials detected this year during the war in Kosovo or the ones that arose from Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War, a State Department official said. ''This sounds to me fairly larger than many of the ones we've put out,'' the official said, noting that the worldwide caution comes at a time when ''people are already worried because of Y2K.'' ''You don't want to over-alarm them, but if we have this information, there's an obligation to tell them.'' The Los Angeles Times quoted a government source as saying: ''There have been a slew of threat reports over the past few weeks, mainly bin Laden-related. And then one emerged in the past couple of days that seemed much more credible and specific than all the others.'' Mr. bin Laden, who is living in Afghanistan under the protection of its ruling Taleban militia, has been indicted by a New York grand jury on charges of conspiracy and murder in the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in

12.13.99 Building the Manchurian Candidate Here is the unadulterated straight scoop, the dirty lowdown on the real deal in regards to mind control, from the world's foremost authority on the vast number of mind control operations run by covert, utterly malignant intelligence and military agencies of the U.S. government. This information Dr. Ross presents--hard, documented evidence by the truckload--completely blows the lid off some of the most horrific, brutal, heinous and vicious activities ever intentionally perpetrated upon countless thousands of human beings over the past FIFTY years by the psychotic, despicable Nazi filth in clandestine U.S. government agencies. To quote Dr. Ross from the material below: "Today I will prove to you... beyond dispute ...that intelligence agencies have been creating Manchurian candidates and MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) for operational use since the Second World War. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a fact." This report is CRUCIAL material. But caution!--NOT for the faint of heart or the squeamish!

It's a very special show this morning. This is the beginning of a journey we are about to take on this programme. A journey into a gruesome world of mind control experiments by government-financed doctors in Canada and the United States. Inhuman experiments performed on humans, children for the most part. For the next 8 months on the show we will be airing interviews with survivors of mind control experiments and ritual abuse, lectures and interviews with therapists, researchers, and writers who are dealing with the legacy of mind control. Specifically we'll be looking at the documented history of U.S. CIA and military mind control experimental programs. Also the struggles of survivors to get compensation from the CIA and the Canadian government in particular govt-funded mind control experiments at McGill University under Dr. Ewen Cameron. We'll be hearing the accounts of survivors of horrific experiments involving electroshock, drugs, brain implants, sensory deprivation, psychic driving, forced sleep, ritual and sexual abuse. We'll also be discussing the military and intelligence uses of mind control including theft, assassination, and sexual blackmail using child victims. We'll be talking about the uses of creating MPD in people for mind control programming and its links to the MP effects of ritual abuse. We'll be discussing with therapists to talk about the effects of severe trauma, sexual abuse, recovered memories and the 'False Memory Syndrome' Many people listening may be aware of Dr. Cameron's projects at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal but this wasn't the only location. The experimental projects were carried out all across Canada and of course in the United States. The first segment of this radio series Mind Control in Canada features a lecture by Dr. Colin Ross to colleagues about the history of the U.S. CIA and military mind control programs. Dr. Ross is a Canadian psychiatrist specializing in MPD currently practicing in Texas. He has researched this subject for many years and is currently writing a book about mind control. He has obtained thousands of CIA documents through the Freedom of Information Act and through these documents, Dr. Ross is able to prove the US government has been using MPD and Manchurian Candidates operationally since WWII.. and it doesn't stop there. This lecture is part one of three one-hour segments to kick off this radio series Mind Control in Canada on 88.1 CKLN. And now Dr. Colin Ross: [Dr. Colin Ross, M.D. The CIA and Military Mind Control Research: Building the Manchurian Candidate Lecture given at 9th Annual Western Clinical Conference on Trauma and Dissociation, April 18, 1996, Orange County, California] I'm very very happy that you are all here. This is the first time that I have talked on this stuff in public, and the problem was that Kevin made a little mistake on the schedule. He didn't get the title quite right. This is actually a performance art piece. It's entitled: "Psychiatrist Trying to Stay Calm and Casual". But before we go any further, by the way, there are a couple of messages here for people who are supposed to call home: William C. Hollinger (if he's here) - he's supposed to call his lab in Pittsburgh. L. Wilson Green, you're supposed to call your lab at Edgeware Arsenal. And Ewen Cameron, there's a message to call Leonard in Montreal. So why is it I am talking about this, and what is it I am trying to say here? Well, one explanation is no one has the

From: A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "[EMAIL PROTECTED] /A (Tsun) Date: Mon, 13 December 1999 12:30 AM EST Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Masons and other Satanistas Worship in Nebraska's Dark Capitol Building A HREF="http://www.balaams-ass.com/journal/prophecy/baal.htm"http://www.bala ams-ass.com/journal/prophecy/baal.htm/A Absolutely un-freeking-believeable! I pasted the text below, but there are phographs at the webpage. This building is the "4th Wonder of the Architectural World." Urban myth has it that Hitler planned to move in and rule the world, when he won the war. Regards, Tsun -begin pasted text--- I live in Lincoln, Nebraska where Im attending the law college at the University of Nebraska. The subject of this letter is going to be the state capitol building here in Lincoln. Its an impressive structure, 400 feet tall with a magnificent dome of real gold leaf. The capitol is the 4th architectural wonder of the world. I never thought much of the capitol until my brother told me that the Egyptians were wanting to put a gold cap on one of the pyramids to celebrate the millennium. When I asked him the significance of that feat, he said it was for the purpose of reflecting the beauty of the sun god Ra back to himself. H. Suddenly a light bulb flashed on in my mind. I saw the Nebraska capitol building as a huge Baal tower, or Baal temple. Not only that, but I believed common sense was telling me that since it was an elaborate temple, then people would actively have to be worshipping Satan there. The only way I could think of for worshippers to come and go regularly, yet clandestinely would be for them to go back and forth from the Masonic temple which is just a little further than a block away. I figured that they would probably do their worshipping in the basement of the capitol, and then return to the Masonic temple. The capitol is very richly decorated with religious and legal symbolism from the ancient to the present, however, Jesus Christ is not depicted. There is a carving of St. John, but that is all there is to represent the Christian religion. Nebraska has one Black state senator. His name is Ernie Chambers. Ernie is from Omaha, and his office is in the capitol building, along with all of the other state senators. I decided to go visit Ernie one day. After we talked for a while, I asked him if he thought there might be an underground passageway from the capitol to the Masonic temple. He said he wouldnt know about that, but that I could ask the person who was responsible for the building. When I went up to the building office, the people in it looked at me like I was there to ruin the big celebration they might have planned for this New Years Eve. Fear and loathing on their faces -- the most unusual reception Ive ever received anywhere in my life. The building manager wasnt in, so I got out of there. I decided to go to the archives of the Nebraska State Historical Society to do research on the capitol. I had to sign up as a legitimate researcher, and then they started carting books to me. A little while later, a nice man came over and asked what kind of work I was doing because he was writing a book about the capitol too, and had overheard me asking for capitol archives. His project will lead to a book which will be a compilation of everything that's been written so far. So I told him I want to trace the capitol back to the influence of the Lancaster dynasty in England (Lincoln is in Lancaster county), and also find out if the capitol is being used for purposes of worship. He said that it is indeed a temple, but he didn't know if worship takes place there. He said the place is full of hollow walls and passages and that you could live below the capitol forever if you wanted to. One of the archives from the early '20s was written by C.W. Cray who thought the capitol should be created in such a fashion as to force spirituality on Nebraskans. That made me realize that I was on to something. Later in the evening, I called the fellow researcher Id met at the Historical Society. It turns out that he was an English professor at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (UNL) for 11 years, and is now a freelance writer. He was also the weekend tour guide in the capitol for many years due to his extensive knowledge of the symbolism portrayed throughout the capitol. I asked him if he thought the chances that Satan worship takes place in the basement of the capitol are zero, or extremely close to zero. He said that chances were close to zero because you never know about Devil worshippers. THEN he told me about the time he was in the capitol in the spring around Easter (Ishtar) late on a Saturday

But what the radicals don't want exposed is evidence that they collaborated secretly with U.S. Republicans going back to 1980. The fundamentalists are especially threatened by newly available information that the Reagan-Bush campaign negotiated behind President Carter's back in 1980 to thwart the release of 52 U.S. hostages, the so-called October Surprise caper. Yet, with Iran's radicals and moderates battling again, it is the Clinton administration that ironically is helping the radicals by protecting their alleged secret ties to the United States. The administration continues to rebuff offers of evidence that could reveal the Islamic radicals as hypocrites and the Reagan-Bush campaign as possibly worse. According to a new "Fact Finder" report at Consortiumnews.com, President Clinton secretly has rejected offers of October Surprise evidence from Iran since shortly after his election in 1992. A source close to the administration also says the White House turned down a chance to examine relevant Stasi files now in the hands of the German government. Then, in August, Clinton's Justice Department objected to the unsealing of a federal court file that reportedly outlined a 1980 Republican-Iranian overture brokered through the Palestine Liberation Organization.

[CTRL] Fwd(2): Help destroy eToys.com!
-Caveat Lector- December 12, 1999 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW INTERNET "GAME" DESIGNED TO DESTROY ETOYS.COM Stock plunge must be accelerated, groups say Contacts: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] More information: http://rtmark.com/etoy/ http://rtmark.com/etoypress.html http://rtmark.com/sitin.html RTMark has joined the growing torrent of outrage, sometimes violent in tone, against Internet toy giant eToys (http://rtmark.com/etoypress.html) by helping create and distribute what RTMark calls "a new toy": a multi-user Internet game whose goal is to damage (or possibly even destroy) the company. The game, which aims to punish eToys for shutting down prominent Internet art group etoy's domain (see http://rtmark.com/etoypress.html for more information), takes the form of an RTMark "mutual fund," or list of sabotage projects (http://rtmark.com/etoy/). All projects in the "etoy Fund," some of which have already been financed, aim to lower the company's stock market value as much as possible. The site also includes pages that will help visitors to cripple the eToys servers during the ten days leading to Christmas (http://rtmark.com/sitin.html), pages providing detailed financial information about the company, and a page of links to the dozen or so other groups calling for eToys' downfall. Since November 29, when eToys lawyers shut down the art group's domain and news of the massive and violent-toned reaction began to spread, huge sellouts (including a 2.5-million-share sale by Moore Capital Management, Inc.) have caused eToys stock to fall from $67/share to $45/share, or nearly 33%; before November 29 eToys stock had been rising. RTMark's new projects group aims to systematically capitalize on and accelerate the eToys share fall. "The etoy Fund projects are a game the whole world can play," said RTMark spokesperson Ernest Lucha. "Many of the projects--boycotts, pickets, e-mail campaigns--can be played by anyone, while other projects--countersuing eToys, disturbing the eToys servers, etc.--require specialized work. There's something for everyone, and we know we can easily count on 10,000 players to start with." There's also something for hackers, who are normally apolitical but have by and large taken eToys' attack on etoy as an attack on themselves. "eToys is trying to take advantage of a legal situation in which there's basically no protection against corporations, whether you're an artist, an activist, or just someone in the wrong place at the wrong time," said a hacker who identifies himself as "Code Blue." "But they're relying a bit too much on the legal. They're saying f*ck you to everything that etoy stands for, and that's like spraying tear gas all over the entire hacking community." "This game is much more exciting than any other computer game, because you have a real-world bad guy to fight," said RTMark spokesperson Lucha. "We think it's especially exciting that the court date [December 27, at which the final fate of etoy.com will be decided] falls so close to Christmas," said Richard Zach, a graduate student at the University of California at Berkeley who has closely followed the dispute since the beginning. "The holiday season is a time of giving, but since eToys decided to take, we're making an example of them during their busiest season. Christmas won't be the end of the game, but it's an important first milestone." It's not just about etoy, nor about art or hacking, according to Lucha: the etoy Fund and directly hostile efforts like it could help lead to a new balance of power between citizens and big business. "Why should global culture be dominated by business? The net is a playing field that could help to create, through law, a worldwide balance of power that just doesn't exist now." The anger against eToys is not likely to dissipate soon, even with a favorable outcome to the case (i.e. the survival of etoy.com), according to Lucha. "eToys says etoy.com was hurting sales by disturbing those who stumble upon it. Well, eToys' domain is disturbing people who want to see great internet art but stumble upon eToys instead, and so why not say eToys shouldn't exist? Why should financial might make right? If they want to play by barbaric rules, we will too." "eToys feels comfortable destroying art for the benefit of its business, so all the players of this game can feel great destroying eToys--for the benefit of art," said Lucha. OTHER ATTACKS RTMark and its "etoy Fund" collaborators are only one group among dozens to mount digital and real-world attacks against eToys in time for Christmas. Two other anti-eToys "products," soon to be announced independently, come from groups of programmers who have, like the hackers, taken eToys' action as a personal affront. One such group is nearly finished with an "action entertainment product"

Re: [CTRL] [Fwd: FWD: A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS:]
-Caveat Lector- More like *two* centuries of U.S. military interventions... IIRC, the first U.S. intervention in Indochina was in *1848*, when U.S. Marines landed in Tonkin to protect American traders from pirates. And, of course, by the 1790s, U.S. naval and Marine forces were being used for similar protection in the Mediterranean, most notably off the Barbary Coast (including the city of Tripoli, now capital of Libya...whence "the shores of Tripoli" in the Marine Hymn). Also, the Mexican War in the 1840s was a classic war of imperialism, perhaps the most blatant military intervention in U.S. history. Among other things, the war produced a generation of U.S. Army officers who would, twenty years later, lead the armies of North and South in the Civil War. It also produced Henry David Thoreau's essay "On Civil Disobedience". Thoreau refused to pay the special excise tax levied to pay for the war and was thrown into Concord Town Jail. Emerson encountered him at the door of the jail (security was not very stringent) and exclaimed, "Why Henry! What are you doing in there?" Thoreau replied, "The question is not what I am doing in here...but what *you* are doing out *there*." -Original Message- From: Nurev Ind Research [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 11, 1999 9:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] [Fwd: FWD: A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS:] -Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: FWD: A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS: Date: Sat, 11 Dec 1999 14:15:51 +0200 A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS: From Wounded Knee to Yugoslavia Compiled by Zoltan Grossman The following is a partial list of U.S. military interventions from 1890 to 1999. snipped for space DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Lincoln, Nebraska is a hotbed of Baal worshipping Satanistas!
-Caveat Lector- I wouldn't put much stock in anything Ernie Chambers says. The man is a paranoid egomaniac. Years ago, I had an encounter with him. I was working at a movie theater concession stand in Lincoln. He came up, and kept changing his order for snacks. I turned to the usher said, sotto voce, "I wish he'd make up his mind." Chambers started screaming that I'd called him a f** n***er and that he was going to have my head and the heads of everyone working there, and get the theater shut down, and just on on on. I thought he was going to come over the counter and attack me. The manager escorted me to the ladies room, and I don't know what happened out in the lobby in the meantime, but it was a good 45 minutes before they let me come out; by then he was gone. I didn't get fired; I had actually given notice prior to this, so no action was ever taken. That man needed help then, and probably still does now. Tenorlove. __ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.

Re: [CTRL] Dec14 Frontline TV Snitches to reair
-Caveat Lector- This is a long story made very short. I have been in a situation where we had FIVE squad cars of police parked beside my mailbox, which is about 100 yds of clear view from my house. They were pursuing a man who was then on foot, and was running towards my front door. Not one of them could do anything to protect my wife and I. I learned a few things that day; 1. Mere presence of a firearm, even a sawed off 12 gauge, MAY NOT intimidate the person intending to harm you. 2. It is impossible to have sufficient police protection. 100% tax rates could not hire a sufficient number to keep everyone safe. 3. I don't care WHO the crook is, or HOW sure you are that shooting is the ONLY WAY OUT - when you start squeezing that trigger, you will be praying to God to GIVE you a way out, so that you do not have to kill another human being. 4.

Re: [CTRL] Dec14 Frontline TV Snitches to reair
-Caveat Lector- Last month I got mugged on my way to the train after work. I was jumped from behind and wrestled down, wrenching my (already bad) left arm in the process. I tried calling for the police, as a police substation is half a block from there, but they must all have been on a doughnut break... The thief kept yelling, "Gimme my stuff, gimme my stuff!" as he yanked my wallet out of my trousers. Somehow I actually made my train; my pass had been in my coat pocket, thank God... When I got home, I tried to call in a report, but was told that I would have to come back in town and report it *in person*. Needless to say, I did *not* go back to make the report. The next day I had the arm looked at in the ER at the hospital--badly sprained but nothing more--and took the rest of that day and the next off. And I never *did* report the crime to the police. I cancelled all of my credit cards, etc.; because my long-distance calling card was in the wallet, we had our phone number changed to an unlisted one. Since then I have used the escort shuttle service that the company's security guards provide. As a footnote, whenever management decides to trim the budget, the first thing they look at is the escort service (rather than the bloated salaries of top managers). The union, however, keeps a log of all employees who have been mugged on the way from work, and whenever management tries to cut the service, they show them the list... Needless to say, none of the managers walks to work or takes the train. -Original Message- From: Das GOAT [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 13, 1999 7:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CTRL] Dec14 Frontline TV Snitches to reair -Caveat Lector- snip Life is cheap in a big city.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY ANY FOOD OR BEVERAGE PRODUCTS IN YOUR GROCERY STORE ARE YOU EATING GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS? * Lab tests and industry disclosures indicate that 60-75% of all non-organic supermarket foods now "test positive" for the presence of genetically engineered (GE) ingredients. * Despite growing public concern over the safety of milk and dairy products from cows injected with recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), as well as human health and environmental concerns over genetically engineered corn, soy, canola, and cotton, the US government refuses to require safety-testing or labeling for genetically engineered foods. As a result Europe, Japan, and other nations are now refusing to buy many US food exports. * Mounting scientific evidence suggests that genetically engineered foods may present serious hazards for human health and the environment. The British Medical Association has called for a global ban on GE foods, while the New England Journal of Medicine has warned that "the allergenic potential of these newly intoduced microbial proteins is uncertain, unpredictable, and untestable." Scientists warn that GE foods may set off allergies, increase cancer risks, produce antibiotic-resistant pathogens, damage food quality, and produce dangerous toxins. * Environmental hazards of genetically engineered crops recently discussed in scientific journals and the media include: increased use of toxic pesticides, damage to soil fertility, genetic pollution of adjoining farmlands, harm to Monarch butterflies and beneficial insects such as ladybugs, and the creation of "superpests, "superweeds," and virulent new plant viruses. * Consumer polls over the past decade have shown that 80-95% of Americans want genetically engineered foods to be labeled--mainly so that we can avoid buying them. Fifty members of Congress recently sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration demanding labeling. In addition, a federal lawsuit has been filed by a broad coalition of scientists, environmental groups, religious leaders, organic farmers, and consumer organizations demanding that all genetically engineered foods be taken off the market until they have been properly safety-tested and labeled. * Turn over this leaflet to see what you can do today to protect yourself and your family from genetically engineered foods. WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY TO AVOID GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS Ask your grocery store manager for a written statement on their policy regarding genetically engineered foods. Request that they identify which food products are genetically engineered and which are not. Tell your grocer to offer a full-line selection of certified organic foods. Organic farmers and producers operate under strict certification rules and do not use any genetically engineered seeds or ingredients. Buy certified organic foods from your local co-op, health food store, farmers market or through a CSA - (Community Supported Agriculture) program. Join the Organic Consumers Association and volunteer to help organize opposition to genetically engineered foods in your local community. Keep informed on genetic engineering and food safety issues by visiting our web site at http://www.purefood.org Call the 15 companies listed below - The Frankenfoods Fifteen - and tell them you will not purchase their foods or beverages unless they can provide you with written assurance that their products do not contain genetically engineered ingredients.

This is but one of the links to former sympathizers of Hitler's "pre-Holocaust" philosophies and UFOlogy, and should be considered by historians of "UFO beliefs" in contexts including the Nazi scientist importation to the US (Project Paperclip), and the role of "right wing" Americans and militarists in the earliest allegations of "government cover-up" of UFO sightings and associated phenomena. "The Day After Roswell" author, the late Col. Philip Corso, was a senior officer in Army Intelligence at the time. Corso figured in the stories about American POWs having been spirited to the Soviet Union during the Korean Conflict, where they allegedly were subjected to various biological and psychological "destructive testings" by the Soviets, such tests always being fatal. Corso resurfaced on this issue in the early 1990s, when it was publicly revealed. It came out as Congressional and White House interests were pursuing similar and even more bizarre experiments allegedly done against Vietcong captives in the hands of South Vietnamese forces "advised" by American intelligence forces, as investigators were probing whether (and how many) our Vietnam-era POWs may have likewise been sent to the Soviet Union for experimental "deconstruction." It is difficult for the US to take a "moral high ground" position on that aspect of the POW and MIA issues, given widely published reports of our own "excesses" and human rights violations in the same conflict. Disclosures of activities sure to anger most if not all of the American electorate, just when "normalization" of relations and trade with Vietnam are in their infancy, were deemed not in the best interest of "policy."

[CTRL] 20% (or More) of Americans Mentally Ill
-Caveat Lector- U.S. Issues Mental Health Report By LAURA MECKLER .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - In an exhaustive review of research on mental disorders, Surgeon General David Satcher concludes shame and difficulty paying for care are keeping millions of Americans from treatments that have been proved effective. The sweeping report, issued today, encourages Americans who suspect they have a mental disorder to seek help. ``Mental disorders are not character flaws but are legitimate illnesses that respond to specific treatments, just as other health conditions respond to medical interventions,'' said the report. ``Society no longer can afford to view mental health as separate and unequal to general health.'' All told, mental disorders affect nearly one in five Americans. Two-thirds of them never seek treatment, including nearly half of those with a severe mental illness. The report, a scientific rather than political document, makes no specific policy recommendations. But mental health advocates said they would seize it in fighting for equal health insurance coverage of mental ailments, better treatments in prisons and more accountability in public spending. ``We've got a health crisis here and the surgeon general has documented it,'' said Laurie Flynn, executive director of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. ``Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General'' reviews 3,000 academic studies on mental health and mental illness and has been in the works since Satcher took office in early 1998. ``They are treatable. That's the great news of this report,'' Satcher said today as he released the report with Tipper Gore, Vice President Al Gore's wife and a longtime advocate for the mentally ill. Mrs. Gore noted that suicide is the third-leading causing of death among young people 18 to 24. When asked why they don't get help, she said on ABC's ``Good Morning America,'' ``The kids say to me, `Because they are afraid of being labeled.' ``Kids in particular need to know if they are in trouble and they know someone who is talking about violence or talking about suicide or is in a severe depression, they need to come forward and get the treatment they need because treatment works,'' Mrs. Gore said. ``The report's principal recommendation to the American people is to seek help if you have a mental health problem or think you have symptoms of a mental disorder,'' it says. And Satcher encourages friends, family, teachers, ministers, coaches and others who may spot someone with a problem to encourage them to seek help. But even people who want treatment can't always afford it. Even those with health insurance often find sharp limits on what their health plans will pay for. The report stops short of recommending that the law require insurance companies to treat mental and physical health problems equally - as President Clinton and some in Congress have proposed. But it does call this coverage ``an affordable and effective objective.'' The nearly 500-page document examines both mental health and mental illness, calling them ``points on a continuum.'' Mental health involves the ability to engage in productive activities, to fulfill relationships with others, adapt to change and cope with adversity. Mental illness includes a variety of disorders characterized by alterations in thinking, like Alzheimer's disease; in mood, like depression, or in behavior, like hyperactivity. Satcher argues that people with mental health problems and mental illnesses can live happier, more productive lives with the help of therapy and medication. Without help, someone who begins sad can become clinically depressed, and ultimately even suicidal. Untreated, the most severely ill can end up homeless or criminal. ``To a great extent, we are dumping our mental health problems on the streets of America,'' Satcher said in an interview. ``We are dumping them into our jails and prisons - there's no question about that.'' The nearly 500-page report, written by a panel of experts, also: Reviews scientific research into the operations of the brain, including unprecedented new examinations of complex neurochemical activity inside individual brain cells. Identifies prospective and promising new treatments. Examines the flaws in the system for providing mental health care, including problems coordinating government agencies, private groups, schools, prisons and other providers. Explains that researchers know more about how to treat mental disorders than what causes them. No single gene causes disorders, the report says, but variations in several genes can contribute to unhealthy brain activity that, under certain conditions, results in mental illness. Satcher, who has also focused on racial disparities in health, noted that black Americans are less likely to get outpatient mental health services but more likely to end up institutionalized, suggesting they are missing opportunities for important early care. This is

Kosovo: what Nato did next
Six months to the day after Allied troops moved in, Raymond Whitaker finds a
province beset by crime and administrative chaos
By Clare Francis
12 December 1999
"The situation here is very bad and getting worse," said Bajram Rexhepi, his
breath coming out in clouds. "Tensions here are very great. We are trying to
contain violence and protests, but we will lose our credibility if we can't
show any kind of success."
It was easy to see what Dr Rexhepi, a medical man turned city administrator,
was talking about. If the head of Mitrovica's unofficial, Albanian-created
municipal government cannot even heat his own office above freezing point, why
should anyone listen to him?
A few hundred yards away, across the bridge dividing Kosovo's second city,
local Serbs were angry. For the first time since Nato-led peacekeepers entered
Kosovo in the summer, a British Warrior armoured vehicle had appeared on their
side of the Ibar river. Its commander explained that he was on attachment to
the French element of KFOR, which is headquartered in Mitrovica and has
"solved" the problem of ethnic tensions by closing the bridge over the Ibar
river to keep the two communities apart.
Without an interpreter, however, he could not calm the crowd, which was
circulating wild rumours of an imminent British attack and threatening to kill
the crew if they did not move on. Senior French officers, Italian carabinieri
and a red-and-white "Coca Cola" vehicle of the United Nations police were all
drawn in by the confrontation. From their headquarters in Mitrovica's tallest
building, next to the bridge, officials of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo
(Unmik) would have been able to see what was happening, but the incident, like
many in Kosovo, dragged on noisily, messily and without resolution.
For Dr Rexhepi the lesson was obvious. "Unmik must impose its authority here,"
he said, and it was clear that he meant the whole of Kosovo, not just
Mitrovica. "If the UN people simply administer this place on paper and try to
act as mediators, they encourage extremists on both sides to make more demands.
Unmik is very anxious to have a success in Kosovo, but all we can see is
dithering."
In the rest of Kosovo the problem is different, but the UN is again criticised.
Serbs who sought to live peacefully among their Albanian neighbours have almost
all been driven out, either to Serbia or into a handful of heavily guarded
enclaves, in what bears all the signs of a co-ordinated campaign: the
officially disbanded but still well-armed Kosovo Liberation Army convinces few
with its denials of responsibility.
The UN police, barely half the promised strength of 3,100, have been powerless
to prevent reverse ethnic cleansing. Their commitment is also in question
according to one aid worker, an Albanian policemen he knew found himself
trailing his foreign superiors from one coffee bar to another.
"Many of the international police see no point in risking their skin," he said.
"All they want to do is bank their bonuses and get home in one piece."
The euphoria which greeted Nato peacekeepers when they entered Kosovo six
months ago today is evaporating as the UN struggles with the myriad problems
left behind by the Serbian destruction. It is behind schedule in many if not
most areas, from registering the population and their cars to establishing a
tax system and preparing for eventual elections, but its failure to deal with
law and order undermines everything. Apart from disrupting attempts to set up a
smooth-running administration, rampant crime is alienating the population.
UN officials complain that all the talk of billions of dollars for the
reconstruction of Kosovo after the war has come to nothing, and that Unmik is
constantly short of funds. Its critics retort that two-thirds of its running
costs go onpaying the generous salaries of its international bureaucrats. A
classic "UN economy", familiar from other trouble spots such as Cambodia and
Bosnia, is developing in Kosovo. Anyone with the resources to open a restaurant
or coffee bar can make a fortune, while newly appointed customs officials at
the border with Macedonia earn 300 Deutschmarks (£100) a month, and even that
was not paid for the first four months.
"Unmik is creating a base for corruption in Kosovo with such disparities,"
complained Baton Haxhiu, editor of Koha Ditore, the most prominent Albanian-
language newspaper.
Mr Haxhiu said that Dr Kouchner, a former French health minister and founder of
Médecins sans Frontières, had been reduced to making constant "moralistic
appeals" to Albanians to show ethnic tolerance and support Unmik. "But who will
protect us if we do? Why do we have crime in Kosovo? Because we don't have
identity cards, the power and water are off several hours a day, cars have no
licence plates and nobody controls the traffic. Nobody knows who is who in

Code warriors
Simon Singh explores the fascinating history of secret communication
by Damon Smith
THE CODE BOOK: THE EVOLUTION OF SECRECY FROM MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS TO QUANTUM
CRYPTOGRAPHY, by Simon Singh. Doubleday, 402 pages, $24.95.
Today corporations and civil libertarians routinely join forces in the US to
lobby for secure encryption software, much to the dismay of law enforcers and
the National Security Agency. Few parties would claim to understand the
technology and mathematical logic behind such programs, however. In The Code
Book, an admirably lucid account of the evolution of cryptography, Simon Singh
writes of the codes and ciphers that have been used to ensure privacy from the
ancient world to the computer age. As he did in his acclaimed book Fermat's
Enigma, Singh masterfully weds historiography and science writing, carefully
elucidating the often mind-boggling mechanics of encryption while spinning
tales of political intrigue and skullduggery, wartime bravery and great
mathematical ingenuity.
The Code Book is a highly entertaining guide to the world of enigmas and the
peaks of human cleverness, an overview of world history seen through the x-ray
goggles of a fun-loving scientist. "History is punctuated with codes," Singh
writes in his introduction. "They have decided the outcomes of battles and led
to the deaths of kings and queens." To reinforce this point, Singh recounts one
of the most famous episodes in British history: the 16th-century plot to
assassinate Queen Elizabeth. With the dramatic sense of an accomplished
novelist, Singh tells how the plan was foiled when a government minister
deciphered a letter sent by Mary Queen of Scots to her fellow Catholic
conspirators -- a revelation that resulted in her execution, marking a turning
point in the fate of Britain.
Singh uses this story primarily to illustrate the basic weakness of an
encryption technique known as monoalphabetic substitution, which prevailed
through the European Renaissance even though Arab scholars had learned long
before to break it using frequency analysis. He explains that it was eventually
replaced by the polyalphabetic Vigenère square, which protected military and
government dispatches for 250 years, until the eccentric genius Charles Babbage
(who developed a prototype for the first modern computer) discovered a method
for cracking it in the mid 19th century.
Throughout his book, Singh tantalizes the reader with fascinating stories of
how ciphers have played a role not only in historical events but in some of
Western civilization's best-kept secrets, such as the mysterious identity of
the Man in the Iron Mask, made famous by Alexandre Dumas. He also relates the
story of the Beale treasure, a $20 million fortune amassed in the Old West and
buried somewhere in Virginia, the directions to which are contained in a set of
encrypted papers that have thus far eluded the sharpest analytic minds, not to
mention professional treasure hunters. Part of the allure of these tales is
that Singh has a special talent for creating suspense, revealing just enough
information to engage one's imagination, but cloaking the essential details
until the last possible moment.
In addition to charting the development of encryption practices, one of Singh's
primary objectives is to show how the indefatigable efforts of cryptanalysts --
those who decipher coded messages -- have spurred important scientific
advancements. For instance, the invention of radio at the turn of the century
made it easier for government cryptanalysts to gather intelligence, as anyone
with an antenna could easily intercept enemy communications, but it also drove
the need for stronger encryption methods. This eventually resulted in the
"mechanisation of secrecy," the creation of machines to scramble messages
beyond the pen-wielding abilities of human beings, which has given rise to the
public-key cryptography widely used today by businesses and governments.
Another theme of The Code Book is the ongoing struggle between code makers and
code breakers, a dynamic Singh characterizes as "an intellectual arms race that
has had a dramatic impact on the course of history." Certainly this was the
case during the First and Second World Wars. Singh tells the story of Alan
Turing, a brilliant mathematician who devoted himself to the war effort at
Bletchley Park and helped to crack the Enigma code machines used by the Nazis.
Turing and his colleagues' breakthroughs prevented U-boat attacks and
ultimately shortened World War II, but because of the British intelligence
community's policy of maintaining secrecy for its operations, his important
work was never recognized.
Delicately approaching the subject of binary code (the language of computers)
in the final chapters, Singh manages to give a cogent explanation of how
software encryption developed from modular arithmetic,

Where did all the money come from for the equipment and training to carry it out? Who conducted the training? This image was not received until December 12, 1999. There is a huge amount of photographic and video evidence emerging that documents the terror campaign waged by Seattle police and others against WTO protesters as well as residents and visitors to the city. To date, very little of this evidence has been made public - even in the alternative media. Facts 1. Police stood passively by and watched while black hooded "anarchists" torched their police cars, but when it came to dealing with peaceful demonstrators, no mercy was shown. 2. Police arrested very few people on charges of damaging property. They included a "drifter" and a young woman who is known to be experienced and active in peaceful, non-violent protest. She denies having anything to do with the property destruction. 3. During the demonstrations, a vacant apartment building was seized by a group of self-described "anarchists." In spite of the fact that this building was widely believed to house people responsbile for vandalism and was located within the "no protest" zone, police took no action whatsoever against the residents. More UPDATE 12-2-99/7:30 PM - CNN reports US military sent "advisors," including active duty Special Forces, to "assist" Seattle police in their preparations for the WTO meeting.

Re: [CTRL] Politically Correct Jesus
-Caveat Lector- Das GOAT wrote: -Caveat Lector- Updated Jesus Image Has Dark Skin By DAVID CRARY .c The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - A painting of a dark-skinned Jesus, by an artist who used a woman as a model, has been selected by a Catholic publication as the winner of its contest to update the image of Christ for the new millennium. The painting, ``Jesus of the People,'' was selected from nearly 1,700 entries for the cover of a special millennium issue being published this week by the National Catholic Reporter, an independent newsweekly and one of the best-known Catholic publications in the country. ``My goal was to be as inclusive as possible,'' said the artist, Janet McKenzie, from her studio in Island Pond, Vt. ``At first glance, he is a black or African-American Jesus, but looking more deeply you see many people in it.'' The painting shows a robed and haloed Jesus. Against a pale pink background are a yin-yang symbol, intended to represent perfect balance, and a feather, symbolizing the American Indian spirituality that McKenzie learned about during a stay in New Mexico. The painting ``is a haunting image of a peasant Jesus - dark, thick-lipped, looking out on us with ineffable dignity, with sadness but with confidence,'' wrote Sister Wendy Beckett, the 69-year-old British nun and host of a public television series about art. She selected the winner and three runners-up. In the view of one of the judges, Sherry Lynn Best, who directs an art gallery at Rockhurst University: ``It's not real masculine. It's not real feminine. It's not really androgynous, either.'' Contestants in 19 countries, ranging from children to prominent graphic designers, submitted entries that a three-member jury winnowed to 10 finalists. The contest was conceived by the National Catholic Reporter's editor, Michael Farrell, who had hoped it would produce a provocative winner. ``If everybody looks at it and says, `Very nice,' that means it will have failed,'' he said. ``Every new work of art that has been worth anything has been controversial when it first appeared.'' McKenzie, who wins a $2,000 first prize, describes herself as a ``devout agnostic'' with an interest in many faiths. She has devoted much of her work to images of strong, spiritual women. Her Jesus, she said, was intended to be a masculine presence, but she sought to add subtly a feminine dimension by using a woman as a model. ``This painting is about love,'' she said. ``It's about reminding all of us about the importance of celebrating our differences.'' The judges who reviewed the entries said they were struck by the variety: abstract designs, computer graphics, Jesus as a homeless person, Jesus in outer space cradling the Earth, a Jesus with superhero biceps. ``I think Jesus would have liked this contest,'' said one of the judges, Pattie Wigand Sporrong of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. ``It didn't have a lot of boundaries and barriers.'' McKenzie, 51, is a Brooklyn native who moved to Vermont in 1976. Her base is Island Pond, a small town in the sparsely populated northeastern corner of the state where she sometimes paints 12 hours at a stretch in the wing of a 135-year-old house. ```Jesus of the People' simply came through me,'' McKenzie said. ``I feel as though I am only a vehicle for its existence.'' The 50,000-circulation National Catholic Reporter, based in Kansas City, Mo., and founded in 1964, has taken pride in its independence, its support for ecumenical reforms and its willingness to provoke debate. Farrell, in a column in the new issue, predicted the choice of ``Jesus of the People'' would carry on that tradition. ``We got a strong impression that the era of the blond, blue-eyed Jesus is over,'' he wrote. ``When the church was overwhelmingly a Western institution, we made Jesus in our likeness. ... This work of art may be prophetic of where and how Christianity will flourish in the next millennium or two.'' Ahh ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha . Next decade, when the Koreans and other Asians trade in their heritage for Western superstitions, Jesus will have slanted eyes and a yellowish tinge. The TRUTH is that Jesus probably looked like Woody Allen without glasses. Or perhaps, Gene Wilder. Or, if Christians are really lucky, Bernard Schwartz a.k.a. Tony Curtis.

Also, the Mexican War in the 1840s was a classic war of imperialism, perhaps the most blatant military intervention in U.S. history. Among other things, the war produced a generation of U.S. Army officers who would, twenty years later, lead the armies of North and South in the Civil War. It also produced Henry David Thoreau's essay "On Civil Disobedience". Thoreau refused to pay the special excise tax levied to pay for the war and was thrown into Concord Town Jail. Emerson encountered him at the door of the jail (security was not very stringent) and exclaimed, "Why Henry! What are you doing in there?" Thoreau replied, "The question is not what I am doing in here...but what *you* are doing out *there*." -Original Message- From: Nurev Ind Research [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 11, 1999 9:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] [Fwd: FWD: A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS:] -Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: FWD: A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS: Date: Sat, 11 Dec 1999 14:15:51 +0200 A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS: From Wounded Knee to Yugoslavia Compiled by Zoltan Grossman The following is a partial list of U.S. military interventions from 1890 to 1999. snipped for space DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] FUTURE PLANNING AFTER SEATTLE
-Caveat Lector- First of all, it is important to emphasize that we are not discussing strategy, only tactics. I think most anarchists hate the corporate rule and its devastating consequences just as much as I do. Otherwise I wouldn't find discussion worthwhile. My provocative post was intended for - getting over once for all with the long standing discussion violence/not violence, and also for - suggesting a logic way of refining our tactics. Doing it in this open manner at the same time should educate our audience about our working conditions, so they understand and accept why we sometimes have to turn a little bit up for the violence in order to get through to them: The mass media obviously are alpha and omega for fullfilling our mission. The main object of the 99 % mass media monopoly of the capital power therefore is to prevent us from unveiling the mechanisms and incredibly destructive nature and consequences of capitalism, and in particular from disclosing that there is an alternative. But the individual media, however, also have to sell all kinds of sensations in order to survive. And that is our only chance. The typical sensation-parameters with regard to demonstrations are number of participants and degree of violence. But big size in itself is no guarantee. Lots of demonstrations even bigger than that in Seattle pass more or less unnoticed by the media. Violence is the safest media magnet. Maximum sympathy we gain of course when the violence is not initiated by us. For several reasons there was very much focus on Seattle beforehand. And the brutality of the police made the scene perfect for maximum worldwide sympathy for our cause. Therefore the subsequent smashing of windows, etc., was counterproductive. Hooliganism is violence with no precise and easily understandable purpose and target. As alternative to peaceful demonstration, the organizers could have chosen to arm all of us, so that we could have overpowered the police and taken all of the WTO delegates hostages until they had given up their vicious undertakings. That would also have made sense and given us lots of credits. For very good reasons the organizers refrained from this option. All of this should be obvious. So my only original contribution is the suggestion that the organizers in the future arrange for contacts for worldwide continual reporting on the local media coverage during the demonstration, so that we all the time can turn up or down for the violence in accordance with the average coverage. By the way, has anybody expressed our deep gratitude for the great job the organizers, anarchists and others, did for accomplishing this historic event which has the potential of becoming a turning point ? I think we should ! Ole Fjord Larsen, member of United Peoples http://www.unitedpeoples.net P.S. Flexibility also seems to be what gave the Mau-Mau freedomfighters in Kenya the victory, cf. the following post: Subject: Re: FUTURE PLANNING AFTER SEATTLE Date: Sun, 12 Dec 1999 18:32:47 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I pretty much agree with your position on "hooliganism", although I prefer a strictly non-"violent" approach. Given that there is always likely to be some fringe hooliganism, genuine or by provacateurs, it is useful to remember the old technique known as "Mau Mau and Moderate", or "extremist" and moderate". (Mau Maus were the Kenyan "terrorists" in their struggle for independence under Jomo Kenyatta.) When the "extremist" goes "too far", it enables the "moderate" to use that "extremism" as leverage to move the "center", or status quo, in the desired direction. The idea is that "you need to deal with us moderate types or else the extremists will get out of hand". Ideally, Mau Maus and Moderates work in tandem, consciously, and coordinate their efforts without trying to trash each other. Thus, in a local campaign, someone(s) in the local movement may play the Mau Mau role in order to set up receptivity for those colleagues who are playing the "reasonable professional" role and who are proposing reasonable solutions to the "problem" now posed by the Mau Maus. In ordinary circumstances, these roles are played by somewhat antagonistic groups or individuals who don't seem to be aware that they need each other. Extremists need the moderates [I define "moderates" in terms of techniques and perceptions, not particularly in terms of goals] -- as it is only the "reasonable" moderates who can get enough acceptance to be able to translate movement goals into actual policies. And the moderates need the extremists in order to move the terms of debate to "the left" (or however you might describe the desired direction). Of course, this doesn't apply to armed revolutions, etc. I'm just talking about "civic" movement organizing. So, one task for future planning is to make use of the threat of the "hooligans" to increase the
[CTRL] To-Rob...From Acharya- Re: Bel And Enlil
-Caveat Lector- http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/idxref/4/0,5716,559754,00.html Bel (Akkadian), Sumerian Enlil, Mesopotamian god of the atmosphere and a member of the triad of gods completed by Anu (Sumerian: An) and Ea (Enki). Enlil meant Lord Wind: both the hurricane and the gentle winds of spring were thought of as the breath issuing from his mouth, and eventually as his word or command. He was sometimes called Lord of the Air. Although An was the highest god in the Sumerian pantheon, Enlil had a more important role: he embodied energy and force but not authority. Enlil's cult centre was Nippur. Enlil was also the god of agriculture: the Myth of the Creation of the Hoe describes how he separated heaven and earth to make room for seeds to grow. He then invented the hoe and broke the hard crust of earth; men sprang forth from the hole. Another myth relates Enlil's rape of his consort Ninlil (Akkadian: Belit), a grain goddess, and his subsequent banishment to the underworld. This myth reflects the agricultural cycle of fertilization, ripening, and winter inactivity. The name of his Akkadian counterpart, Bel, is derived from the Semitic word baal, or "lord." Bel had all the attributes of Enlil, and his status and cult were much the same. Bel, however, gradually came to be thought of as the god of order and destiny. In Greek writings references to Bel indicate this Babylonian deity and not the Syrian god of Palmyra of the same name. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Convict Chip Idea Stirs Ire
-Caveat Lector- hi, relevant cross posting, Andrew From: "Dan S" [EMAIL PROTECTED] From http://home.nas.net/~raven1/nmimplan.htm - Convict Chip Idea Stirs Ire Lawyer: Gov. Eyes Inmate Implants By Colleen Heild, Albuquerque Journal Staff Writer Autumn 99 - Issue No. 244 Eleanor White's comments: Current, late-90's electronic mind control technology in the classified realm does not require implants. However, implants are still very significant for two reasons: 1. Not all electronic mind control perpetrators possess, apparently, the implant-LESS technology. This is evident from the fact that several involuntary implantees have had implants removed but not one has ever been given custody of the removed implant. Someone apparently wants them kept out of our hands. 2. Not every level of government even knows about implant-LESS technology, and therefore, these non-privileged levels of government are obvoiusly attracted to the degree of control which can be had by implanting populations. The following article makes that chillingly clear! Gov. Gary Johnson has hopes that rapidly advancing computer technology someday could help solve the problem of New Mexico's overcrowded prisons. Much to the dismay of inmate lawyers, Johnson at a private meeting in May [1999] raised the possibility that a futuristic form of incarceration could include implanting microchips in convicted felons. Johnson made the comments during an informal meeting with the chief federal judge in New Mexico, top state corrections officials, and lawyers involved in an 18-year-old lawsuit over prison conditions, according to three people who attended the gathering. Johnson said during an interview this week that he wasn't implying the state could implement such a program anytime soon. But, he said, with "the technology advancing all the time, we're going to have in the future to ... be able to implement innovative ways of parole and work release." Peter Cubra, one of the lawyers representing inmates in the prison lawsuit testified about the remarks earlier this month at the Legislature's Interim Courts, Corrections, and Criminal Justice Committee. Cubra didnt' divulge where Johnson made the comments, but two ... [TEXT MISSING FROM PHOTOCOPY] According to Cubra, Johnson responded by saying technology is evolving to the point that microchip implants WOULD be performed, and someday would be relatively inexpensive. "What the governor literally said ... was, he took his index finger and thumb and held them about a half an inch apart and he said 'We are this close to the time when we will have microchips avialable' and then he took his left hand, took it to his temple and said 'AND WE CAN INSERT THE MICROCHIPS INTO PEOPLE'S BRAINS AND CONTROL THEIR BEHAVIOR THAT WAY'" Cubra told the legislative committee Aug. 18 in Albuquerque. Apparently it wasn't the first time Johnson made such remarks. People who attended the Santa Fe meeting said Johnson mentioned that he had raised the issue during his campaign for governor. After Johnson's statements in May [1999] those in the room were stunned, said Cubra and another person at the meeting. However a third person who attended but refused to be identified said the governor was obviously joking. A spokesman for Conway said Thursday that the judge wouldn't comment on any matter related to pending litigation. Cubra brought up Johnson's remarks urging the legislative committee to take the lead in setting prison policy. "This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, he said. He told the committee "it appeared the executive branch didn't have any realistic attitudes about it. A spokeswoman for the governor said last week that Johnson was speaking in "very broad terms" when he mentioned the microchip concept. "He said he was talking very broadly, very future-oriented, like what are the technologies that are being developed for prisoners, what applications in general for new technology might there be" said Catherine Bedell, a deputy chief of staff. Asked Whether Johnson has any specific proposals, she said, "not yet" and referred further questions to Corrections Secretary Karl Sannicks. Sannicks, through a spokesman, said he hadn't heard about microchips being used on prisoners and "it probably would be something he would not implement." When asked about the May meeting, Johnson said Wednesday "I was talking about bracelets and being able to track felons out of jail, that that technology is going to exist if it doesn't exist already. "But it's going to exist in an affordable state and that may revol- utionize parole, that may revolutionize incarceration as far as we know it. In that context, that technology certainly is in the future, is going to play a role in parole, in incarceration, and work release." Asked whether he specifically brought up microchips, Johnson said, "Well, talking about

[CTRL] Buchanan: 'Send China Packing From Panama!'
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Today Pat Buchanan released the following statement: "A generation ago, along with Ronald Reagan, I opposed Jimmy Carter's surrender of the Panama Canal. We insisted that the Canal was U.S. property, its retention vital to U.S. security, and its transfer an unacceptable risk. History proved us right. To secure the Canal from a potential threat, a decade ago, President Bush invaded. "Tuesday's transfer of all U.S. bases in the former Canal Zone, as well as the Big Ditch itself, now leaves this strategic asset in indifferent, and perhaps even hostile, hands. "The U.S. bases from which we monitored drug flights out of Colombia are gone. Critical U.S. Army training facilities are gone. Now, the Canal, crucial to victory in World War II and our security and prosperity throughout this century, is gone. Ports at both ends of the canal will now be controlled by a company that answers to the beck and call of an increasingly belligerent Beijing. It is a mockery of the Monroe Doctrine for America to stand idly by as Communist Chinese reach for this vital artery of the U.S. Navy and of our $2 trillion world trade. "Were Theodore Roosevelt alive today, to watch a successor bomb Serbia for 78 days because he said Kosovo was vital to us, as he giddily surrendered the Panama Canal to agents of a dictatorial China, the old Rough Rider would surely have concluded that his country had fallen into the hands of thundering incompetents. And he would be right. "Only in some strange New World Order of President Clinton's imaginings can a U.S. presence in Bosnia call for a four-year $12 billion U.S. commitment, while the Panama Canal is let go, when a tiny investment of a few millions of dollars could have secured it. "As President, I will make it the first order of hemispheric business to effect the peaceful expulsion of any and all agents of Beijing from Panama, and to reestablish a U.S. presence in that country." http://gopatgo2000.com/r_e.asp?f_p=29247f_e=Wjp **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

Buchanan says he's best hope for Reform Party
JULIA SILVERMAN
ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE
Sunday, December 12, 1999
In Arkansas for the second time in a month, presidential hopeful Pat
Buchanan told the Arkansas Reform Party convention on Saturday in North
Little Rock that he is the dark-horse candidate who can legitimize a national
third party in the next millennium.
This fall, Buchanan, a conservative best known for his appearances on the
Washington-based television talk show Crossfire, announced his defection
from the GOP to join the Reform Party, founded by Texas billionaire Ross
Perot.
Buchanan is the only high-profile declared Reform Party candidate for
president, although real estate mogul Donald Trump has mused publicly
about running for president under the party's banner. The party's highest
elected official, Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, has denied rumors that he is
considering a run.
"You're not getting a choice if you have Bush and Gore," he told the 50 or so
Reform Party stalwarts who attended the 9 a.m. Saturday meeting at the
Ramada Inn. "They stand for the same things. They are both from new world
order, globalist parties."
The trademark fiery rhetoric that won him oratorical honors -- if not the
popular vote -- at the Republican straw poll in Ames, Iowa, during the
summer was on full display Saturday.
Buchanan took shots at the obvious targets, from Republican front-runner
George W. Bush ("Did you hear the one about George W.? He walked into a
think tank the other day and almost drowned") to his once and maybe future
colleagues in the Washington press corps ("They don't know anything, those
pundits. God put them there for the amusement of others") to Al Gore
("How'd you like to debate the fellow who invented the Internet? Real genius
there").
But he also touched on a series of weightier matters. Buchanan praised anti-
World Trade Organization demonstrators who overran the streets of Seattle a
few weeks ago, and called for an end to trade relations with "communist
China."
He denounced American intervention in Kosovo, calling it "Mr. Clinton's war,
an illegal war against a country that did not ever attack Americans. ...
American troops should not be the troops of some imperial world order."
Instead, he suggested stationing those troops along the United States-
Mexico border. And in agriculture-dependent Arkansas, where poultry, rice,
soybeans and cotton are still kings, Buchanan drew sustained applause by
lamenting the plight of farmers.
"We're losing our farmers," he said. "The prices they are getting for their
commodities don't equal the price of production."
He also took on social issues, pledging if elected that among his first acts
would be to shutter the U.S. Department of Education and the National
Endowment for the Arts and "fumigate the buildings." And as the nation's
new chief law enforcement officer, Buchanan said his first words to his
predecessor would be: "Mr. Clinton, you have the right to remain silent."
Responding to questions after his speech, Buchanan assured his audience
that he would appoint only Supreme Court justices with proven anti-abortion
records and put an end to political donations from corporations and lobbyist
groups.
When he had finished speaking, Reform Party members clustered around
Buchanan, thrusting copies of his book, A Republic, Not an Empire, at him
for signatures and handing him manila envelopes stuffed with "reading
material for the plane."
"You're a good American," one man told Buchanan. The Reform Party has
between 5,000 and 10,000 registered members in Arkansas, said Steve
Bennett of Maumelle, who was elected the state party's vice president at the
convention Saturday. He did not think to invite Ventura or Trump to
Saturday's gathering, Bennett said, although little-known presidential
hopeful
Charles Collins of Forsyth, Ga., did address the crowd, echoing many of
Buchanan's themes.
After Buchanan's departure, conventioneers elected every Reform Party
member his campaign recommended to serve as delegates to the party's
August convention in Long Beach, Calif., or to hold state office. Allan

Notice #2 Althoâ Hack is personally against U.S. military involvement in Yugoslav affairs, he wants to share this differing, unedited letter with all of you. The author is a Burlington, Vermont police officer who is in Bosnia for a year, working for the International Police Task Force. In our jaded age of cynicism, I am amazed and humbled by the incredible and earnest gratitude of the people here in Gorazde. As you may recall, Gorazde was under siege for over four years, under artillery and tank fire as well as suffering attacks by snipers and even fully automatic cannons originally designed to shoot down aircraft. The geography here is similar to Montpelier, the next time you are there try to imagine a hostile army encamped on all of the hills surrounding the City and firing down into it. I have talked with many who survived here in basements during the siege, or actually fought to hold back the Bosnian Serbs. I have also read several accounts of the fighting here written by Internationals and military observers, so I know that the atrocities reported are not merely Moslem propaganda or exaggerations. The politics and the hatreds here are appalling, but no ideology can excuse acts such as the one reported by a British SAS soldier who was here in 1995. He witnessed a Bosnian Serb machine gunner open fire on the pedestrian bridge as it was full of people. He remembers particularly seeing a little boy shot to pieces and several women and men (civilians all) massacred as they tried to shelter behind carts. The bullets went right through. Others jumped off the bridge into the Drina River, a fifty foot drop into shallow water (less than two feet in most areas). The British Observers were part of UNPROFOR, the UN Protective Force and were here to report on the siege. Gorazde was declared a UN "Safe Area" and supposedly attacks against it were prevented. In reality, Gorazde was the only safe area that was not wiped out. To the North in Srebenica, The Bosnian Serbs massacred 8,000 Bosnian Moslems after the Dutch Army unit that was supposed to protect that safe area surrendered its weapons to the Serbs and was taken prisoner by them. UNPROFOR could not fight a war, or even take decisive actions. The decision making chain snaked all the way to New York. As a result the peacekeepers often stood by while the safe areas were shelled and over run. At various times British, Dutch, Canadian and French soldiers were captured by the Bosnian Serbs and used as hostages. Sometimes the Bosnian Moslems fired on the Peacekeepers too, enraged by their failure to protect them. In Gorazde, the SAS team lost two men killed to a Serb machine gun while they were driving in a white UN Land Rover. The UN approved an airstike, two British Harrier jets flew in, at the last moment the civilians in the UN chain ordered them to make several dry runs, without dropping bombs. They wanted to send a message to the Serbs that this time they really, really meant

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! A HREF="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19991213_xex_the_40year_g.sh tml"The 40-year gun grab/A http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19991213_xex_the_40year_g.shtml The 40-year gun grab '60s disarmament plan still going strong, say U.N. critics --- By Stephan Archer and Sarah Foster © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com For nearly 40 years, a few groups on the political right have sounded the alarm over a seemingly absurd scenario -- that gun control legislation was actually a key part of a plan for total national disarmament and the eventual replacement of United States troops by a United Nations army as part of the law enforcement arm of a one-world government. The idea that such an improbable plan could exist, if only on paper -- or even more improbable, that people were working behind the scenes to implement it - has always been dismissed by the mainstream media and government officials as a paranoid, right-wing delusion. So where exactly does the truth lie in this decades-old controversy - the cause of great alarm for some, and for others, an occasion to heap ridicule and contempt? At the center of this issue is a 20-page State Department pamphlet published in 1961, titled "Freedom From War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World" - Department of State Publication 7277. The program outlined was presented by President Kennedy to the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 25, 1961, and offered "specific objectives toward which nations should direct their efforts." These included: * The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their re-establishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force. * The elimination from national arsenals of all armaments, including all weapons of mass destruction and the means for their delivery, other than those required for a United Nations Peace Force and for maintaining order. The disarmament process would take place in three stages: * Stage I: Measures that would "significantly reduce" the capabilities of nations to wage war. An International Disarmament Organization would be created within the United Nations; an inspection infrastructure would be established with observation posts set up at ports, highways, airbases and railway centers to monitor troop movements and other military activities; and -- most important -- States would develop arrangements for establishment of a U.N. Peace Force and U.N. peace observation groups would be "staffed with a standing cadre of observers who could be dispatched to investigate any situation which might constitute a threat to or breach of the peace." "A Commission of Experts would be established to report on the feasibility and means for the verified reduction and eventual elimination of nuclear weapons stockpiles." "Arms and armed forces would be reduced: The armed forces of the United States and the Soviet Union would be limited to 2.1 million men." * Stage II: Further reductions in the armed forces, armaments, and military establishments of states would be made, including strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles and countering weapons; a permanent international peace force would be established within the United Nations; "The dismantling or conversion to peaceful uses of certain military bases and facilities wherever located" would continue; The International Disarmament Organization would be strengthened and enlarged to enable it to verify the steps taken in Stage II and to determine the transition to Stage III. * Stage III: "During the third stage, the states of the world ... would take final steps toward the goal of a world in which: "States would retain only those forces, non-nuclear armaments, and establishments required for the purpose of maintaining order; they would also provide support and provide agreed manpower for a U.N. PeaceForce. "The manufacturing of armaments would be prohibited except for those agreed types and quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace Force and those required to maintain internal order. All other armaments would be destroyed or converted to peaceful purposes. "The peace-keeping capabilities of the United Nations would be sufficiently strong and the obligations of all states under such arrangements sufficiently far-reaching as to assure peace and the just settlement of differences in a disarmed world." Shortly after his address, President Kennedy signed Public Law 87-297 (H.R. 9118) that created the United States Arms Control Agency, a separate organization operating outside the jurisdiction of any department and charged with overseeing the disarmament agenda.According to the statute creating the agency, the terms "arms control" and "disarmament" mean "the
[CTRL] McCain's ties with Vietnam
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! McCain's ties with Vietnam Special US report by Ted Sampley No. 143, 29 Nov. - 5 Dec. 1999 John McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona and former Navy pilot, has emerged as the leading advocate for normalizing relations with the same government that has repeatedly lied about torturing and killing U.S. soldiers who were captured during the Vietnam War. McCain's high-profile and unrelenting support for a government that brutally tortured and murdered his fellow POWs is causing POW/MIA family members and fellow Vietnam veterans to question the senator and his motivations. They ask what drives McCain, who owes his public life to the tag "former POW," to work so hard for Hanoi and so diligently to discredit any possibility, in fact the probability, that Hanoi held back live U.S. prisoners of war after the 1973 prisoner release. The POW/MIA families point out that they worked hard during the Vietnam War to secure McCain's freedom when he was held by the Communists. The families want to know why he is betraying them in their efforts to get answers about their missing loved ones. None of the senators who served on the 1991-92 Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs were as vicious in their attacks on POW/MIA family members, veterans and activists as McCain. During the POW/MIA hearings, Fran ces Zwenig, the $118,000-a-year staff director of the Senate Select Committee, reported to McCain that she was told by the Vietnamese, during a July 1992 meeting with the Vietnamese, that something had to be done about the POW/MIA activists who were opposing lifting the U.S. imposed trade embargo against Vietnam. Not long after, McCain started de manding that the Select Committee investigate the activists, prompting one observer to ask: "Are the Vietnamese now directing the affairs of the Senate Select Committee?" McCain accused the POW/MIA families and activists who openly challenged the U.S. government's POW/MIA policy of fraud. In his attacks he said: "The people who have done these things are not zealots in a good cause. They are criminals and some of the most craven, most cynical and most despicable human beings to ever run a scam." McCain took the lead in the Senate and demanded a Justice Department investigation of the activists. The Justice Department investigated and found no reason to charge any of the POW/MIA activists. When Col. Bui Tin, one of McCain's former interrogators, testified before the Senate Select Committee, McCain did not display that same "pit bull" inclination to attack as he did for the POW/MIA families and activists. Tin, a former senior colonel in the North Vietnamese Army, told the committee that because of his high position in the Communist Party during the war, he had the right to "read all the documents and secret telegrams from the Politburo" pertaining to American prisoners of war. He said not only did the Soviets interrogate some American prisoners of war, but they treated them very badly. During a break in the hearing, McCain warmly embraced Tin as if he were a long lost brother. McCain fought a hard and successful campaign to get the U.S.-imposed trade embargo against Vietnam lifted, despite the opposition of all major veterans organizations, the two POW/MIA family groups and the majority of the Vietnamese Americans in this country. The veterans want to know why McCain, the "conservative" politician, takes such a strong stand for the Vietnamese Communists and against such patriotic groups. McCain was born in the Panama Ca nal Zone on Aug. 29, 1936. His father, Adm. John McCain II, became commander-in-chief of the Pacific forces in 1968 and later ordered the bombing of Hanoi while his son was held there as a prisoner of war. McCain's grandfather, Adm. John S. McCain Sr., was the commander of aircraft carriers in the Pacific under Adm. William F. Halsey in World War II. McCain's early years were spent in var ious places on the east and west coasts. He attended Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., and is a 1958 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. At the Naval Academy, McCain's grades in electrical engineering were satisfactory, although he had numerous demerits for breaking curfews and infractions. He graduated fifth from the bottom of his class. Despite his low class standing, Mc Cain's request for training as a Navy pilot was granted. His father's rank of admiral and family history apparently played a part in the decision. After qualifying as a Navy pilot, McCain was shipped to Vietnam. On his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, McCain was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. He later recalled that he was flying right over the heart of Hanoi in a dive at about 4,500 feet when a Russian missile the size of a telephone pole came up-the sky was full of them-and "blew the right wing off my Skyhawk dive bomber.

-Caveat Lector- If one in five people each year experience an episode of mental illness, I suspect that 90% of those cases are among government officials under pressure of stupid laws. Perhaps cannabis medicine would be good for their mental health and improve social policies to ameliorate crime. http://www.nytimes.com/library/politics/121399mental-health.html New York Times Monday, December 13, 1999 Mental Disorders Common, U.S. Says; Many Not Treated By ROBERT PEAR WASHINGTON -- One in every five Americans experiences a mental disorder in any given year, and half of all Americans have such disorders at some time in their lives, but most of them never seek treatment, the surgeon general of the United States says in a comprehensive new report. Many people with mental disorders do not realize that effective treatments exist, or they fear discrimination because of the stigma attached to mental illness, the study found. And, it said, many people cannot afford treatment because they lack insurance that would cover it. After reviewing hundreds of studies, the report concludes that "a range of effective treatments exist for nearly all mental disorders," including the most severe. The report's principal recommendation is to "seek help if you experience symptoms of mental illness." The report was issued at the White House on Monday by the surgeon general, Dr. David Satcher, the government's leading spokesman on matters of public health. Dr. Satcher finds a huge gap between the need for mental health services and their availability. A major theme of the report is that mental health must be part of mainstream health care, not an afterthought or an offshoot. The report says that "22 percent of the population has a diagnosable mental disorder," as suggested by several recent studies. It also says that "mental illness, including suicide, is the second leading cause of disability," after heart disease. But, it says, "nearly two-thirds of all people with diagnosable mental disorders do not seek treatment." The statistics, derived from studies published in the last few years, will probably not surprise psychiatrists, psychologists or other specialists in mental health. But the report is significant because it meticulously analyzes huge amounts of data and puts the imprimatur of the government on the findings, just as the surgeon general's report on smoking and health did in 1964. Mental disorders are defined in the report as health conditions marked by alterations in thinking, mood or behavior that cause distress or impair a person's ability to function. They include Alzheimer's disease, depression, attention-deficit or hyperactivity disorder and phobias. The report says people are deterred from seeking treatment for mental disorders because they have no health insurance, their insurance does not adequately cover the costs or they have an "unwarranted sense of hopelessness" about the prospects for recovery from mental illness. The document declares that "mental disorders are not character flaws, but are legitimate illnesses that respond to specific treatments." It says that the "cruel and unfair stigma attached to mental illness" is "inexcusably outmoded" and must no longer be tolerated. "Why is the stigma so strong despite better public understanding of mental illness?" the report asks. "The answer appears to be fear of violence. People with mental illness, especially those with psychosis, are perceived to be more violent than in the past." While research suggests that some people with mental disorders and drug abuse problems do indeed pose a risk of violence, the report says, the danger is not great. "In fact," it says, "there is very little risk of violence or harm to a stranger from casual contact with an individual who has a mental disorder." In issuing the report, federal officials said, the Clinton administration will emphasize its efforts to fight mental illness. Copies of the report and related documents were obtained on Sunday from a civil servant who fears that the scientific significance of the report may be overshadowed by its "political manipulation," consumer advocates who advised the government on the study and mental health experts close to the office of Tipper Gore. Over the last two decades, Mrs. Gore, the wife of Vice President Al Gore, has been a champion for the rights of people with mental illness, and she was once treated for depression herself. Michael M. Faenza, president of the National Mental Health Association, who served as a member of the planning board for the report, said: "This is a historic day. It's wonderful that we have a surgeon general talking about mental health and mental illness, in a voice that has not been used in Washington before." Faenza said the report could be a turning point, if it improves access to services, or "it could be meaningless, if Congress and state legislators do not have the backbone and the political will to act on it."

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! STRATFOR.COM Global Intelligence Update December 13, 1999 Stratfor's 1995-2005 Forecast: A Mid-term Evaluation Summary: Stratfor is now entering its end of the year cycle. This year is obviously different, since it is also the end of the decade - and the millennium. We've decided to pass on forecasts for the millennium or century. The risk is mitigated by the fact that we won't be around to take the heat for incorrect forecasts. Nevertheless, our process doesn't go out that far. We have decided to issue a new decade forecast to supersede the one created in 1995. The new decade global forecast will be released Dec. 19, in our weekly mailing. More detailed regional forecasts will be simultaneously posted to our web site. We will release our 2000 annual forecast Jan. 3, 2000. We have decided to begin our annual forecasting process this year with a retrospective evaluation of our last decade forecast, which covered 1995-2005. Since we are at mid-course on that forecast, it is important to evaluate which elements have been fulfilled, which we still expect will be fulfilled and which we were wrong about. The original forecast can be found at [ http://www.stratfor.com/services/giu/decade.asp ]. We will assume that our readers have had access to it in reading this evaluation. Analysis: Our decade forecast began by asserting that we were in the grip of two contradictory trends. On one hand, we said that we were in a period of unprecedented economic prosperity and growth. On the other hand, we foresaw increasing international tension. We feel comfortable that this fundamental trend has been in place for the past five years, will continue into the next decade and will intensify, as we will discuss in the new decade forecast next week. The assumptions, made in 1995, that global prosperity and conflict are incompatible have proven generally untrue. There are two reasons for this. First, prosperity and growth can generate conflict quite as easily as they can defuse it. For example, World War I occurred during a period of tremendous prosperity. Second, as we point out later in our decade forecast, a general global prosperity does not mean universal prosperity. One of the trends we forecast was a growing disparity between the U.S. economy and that of Asia and Russia. That has happened and will increasingly tend to destabilize the system. In our specific economic forecasts we said: "The United States is by far in the best financial and demographic position to capitalize on this tendency [massive economic growth]." Obviously, we were correct on this forecast and continue to be extremely bullish on the U.S. economy. As we will see next week, we do not foresee major economic problems until after 2005, although we certainly do expect a short recession before then. "The European Union's enjoyment of this period will be limited somewhat by Germany's ongoing digestive problems - absorbing the old East Germany - and an inability to create a Monetary Union." Here we were both clearly right and very wrong. Germany has certainly had serious economic problems that have limited Europe's economic dynamism. On the other hand, we were clearly in error on our Euro forecast. It was in fact created. It is worth pausing to consider why we made that error. Monetary policy is the key to economic policy. It is also the place where politics and economics meet directly. The European Union contains a large number of economies, all at different points in their business cycle. The creation of a single monetary policy must, by definition, help some countries while it hurts others. A one-size- fits-all policy doesn't work. In the United States, diverging economic interests helped drive the South to secede from the Union. Its ability to secede was not decided economically or politically, but militarily. Since there was no central military power in Europe to force nations into the Euro, or to keep them there once policies harming particular national interests were in place, it followed that resistance to the new currency would be substantial. We therefore predicted that the Euro wouldn't get off the ground. But we didn't calculate two things into the equation. The first was the level of commitment to the Euro from the European financial community and national leaders. Failing to create a monetary union would have been politically destabilizing. Second, we failed to appreciate that in a condition of general prosperity, in which the smaller, more vulnerable economies would do particularly well, the pain of a single European monetary policy would not be felt intensely. Therefore, the Euro was created. Obviously, it has had mixed reviews on a number of levels. Its real test will come during the next downturn of Europe's business cycle, when the divergences will become more intense along with the pain. We were clearly wrong on the creation of the

The painting, ``Jesus of the People,'' was selected from nearly 1,700 entries for the cover of a special millennium issue being published this week by the National Catholic Reporter, an independent newsweekly and one of the best-known Catholic publications in the country. ``My goal was to be as inclusive as possible,'' said the artist, Janet McKenzie, from her studio in Island Pond, Vt. ``At first glance, he is a black or African-American Jesus, but looking more deeply you see many people in it.'' The painting shows a robed and haloed Jesus. Against a pale pink background are a yin-yang symbol, intended to represent perfect balance, and a feather, symbolizing the American Indian spirituality that McKenzie learned about during a stay in New Mexico. The painting ``is a haunting image of a peasant Jesus - dark, thick-lipped, looking out on us with ineffable dignity, with sadness but with confidence,'' wrote Sister Wendy Beckett, the 69-year-old British nun and host of a public television series about art. She selected the winner and three runners-up. In the view of one of the judges, Sherry Lynn Best, who directs an art gallery at Rockhurst University: ``It's not real masculine. It's not real feminine. It's not really androgynous, either.'' Contestants in 19 countries, ranging from children to prominent graphic designers, submitted entries that a three-member jury winnowed to 10 finalists. The contest was conceived by the National Catholic Reporter's editor, Michael Farrell, who had hoped it would produce a provocative winner. ``If everybody looks at it and says, `Very nice,' that means it will have failed,'' he said. ``Every new work of art that has been worth anything has been controversial when it first appeared.'' McKenzie, who wins a $2,000 first prize, describes herself as a ``devout agnostic'' with an interest in many faiths. She has devoted much of her work to images of strong, spiritual women. Her Jesus, she said, was intended to be a masculine presence, but she sought to add subtly a feminine dimension by using a woman as a model. ``This painting is about love,'' she said. ``It's about reminding all of us about the importance of celebrating our differences.'' The judges who reviewed the entries said they were struck by the variety: abstract designs, computer graphics, Jesus as a homeless person, Jesus in outer space cradling the Earth, a Jesus with superhero biceps. ``I think Jesus would have liked this contest,'' said one of the judges, Pattie Wigand Sporrong of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. ``It didn't have a lot of boundaries and barriers.'' McKenzie, 51, is a Brooklyn native who moved to Vermont in 1976. Her base is Island Pond, a small town in the sparsely populated northeastern corner of the state where she sometimes paints 12 hours at a stretch in the wing of a 135-year-old house. ```Jesus of the People' simply came through me,'' McKenzie said. ``I feel as though I am only a vehicle for its existence.'' The 50,000-circulation National Catholic Reporter, based in Kansas City, Mo., and founded in 1964, has taken pride in its independence, its support for ecumenical reforms and its willingness to provoke debate. Farrell, in a column in the new issue, predicted the choice of ``Jesus of the People'' would carry on that tradition. ``We got a strong impression that the era of the blond, blue-eyed Jesus is over,'' he wrote. ``When the church was overwhelmingly a Western institution, we made Jesus in our likeness. ... This work of art may be prophetic of where and how Christianity will flourish in the next millennium or two.'' Ahh ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha . Next decade, when the Koreans and other Asians trade in their heritage for Western superstitions, Jesus will have slanted eyes and a yellowish tinge. The TRUTH is that Jesus probably looked like Woody Allen without glasses. Or perhaps, Gene Wilder. Or, if Christians are really lucky, Bernard Schwartz a.k.a. Tony Curtis.

Ten years later, mandatory spending was 56.3 percent of the federal budget and entitlements were 45.2 percent. By 1993, the numbers were 61.4 percent and 47.3 percent, respectively. And, by the year 2,003, mandatory spending is projected to take up 72 percent of the federal budget, with 58.2 percent going to entitlements.(27) At this pace, Congress role in social spending may become as inconsequential as whether modern presidents wage war or not! 27) Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform, p 10.

[CTRL] *Flt800* New evidence of missile attack *Flt800*
-Caveat Lector- MONDAY DECEMBER 13 1999 THE DOWNING OF FLIGHT 800 New evidence of missile attack Metal plume seen emerging from side of doomed airliner By David M. Bresnahan © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com New evidence from radar data and analysis on the crash of TWA Flight 800 is "as convincing as a fingerprint in a murder case" that a missile, according to an independent investigator brought down the plane. Radar images only recently available and analyzed by Ret. Naval Cmdr. William Donaldson show what he describes as a plume of metal debris coming from the right side of TWA flight 800 at a very high rate of speed. "Only a missile body, with its hundreds of thousands of foot pounds of kinetic energy would have the inertia to perform this way on radar," Donaldson explained in a report sent to Duncan's committee Wednesday. Donaldson claims the evidence is now irrefutable that a missile is responsible for the downing of TWA flight 800. He also claims that the FBI, CIA, and the National Transportation Safety Board have known about this evidence from the beginning. Donaldson received help with the analysis of the recently acquired radar data from a member of the U.S. Air Force weapons guidance systems division. That source, who asked to remain anonymous because of fears of reprisals from Air Force officials, agrees with the conclusions of Donaldson. Radar sends a signal out which is reflected off any object it hits and comes back. Each sweep of the radar creates a new echo, or image on the screen. The time between sweeps is 4.69 seconds, according to Donaldson. "The one thing that you're going to focus in on tightly when you look at the radar is the sweep after the initial breakup of the aircraft. If it's hit by a weapon, you're going to have metal pieces going in the direction that the weapon hit the airplane. No matter if it's an anti-aircraft shell or a missile," explained Donaldson. In the event of a missile strike to a large commercial aircraft, the extremely high speed of the missile would carry the warhead right through the plane "almost like it's not even there," said the Air Force source. "I can't over emphasize this point. This is not theory, not speculation, but hard physical evidence," Donaldson told Rep. John Duncan, R- Tenn., in a recent report to the Subcommittee on Aviation. Duncan has not yet replied and could not be reached over the weekend. TWA flight 800 crashed off Long Island, New York July 17, 1996 and the investigation has been one of controversy ever since. The FBI and National Transportation Safety Board have ruled out the possibility of a missile or bomb as the cause of the crash, but Donaldson insists they are ignoring or covering up the facts. Donaldson is the chairman of the Associated Retired Aviation Professionals, formed in early 1997. Its members are former military, civilian, and aviation professionals who organized to independently investigate the downing of TWA Flight 800. Donaldson has many years of aviation and investigation experience, as do many of the members of his organization. Donaldson has testified before Congress, and continues to pursue evidence and witnesses. WorldNetDaily learned the FBI had been given preliminary information immediately after

[CTRL] Secret of the mummies' tomb
-Caveat Lector- http://helix.nature.com/nsu/991202/991202-5.html Nature - Science Update Tuesday 30 November 1999 relics : Secret of the mummies' tomb KRISTINE NOVAK Mummy DNA has revealed that a type of leukemia virus which causes adult T cell leukemia may have originated with the paleo-Mongoloids who migrated to Japan and South America over 10,000 years ago, researchers announce in Nature Medicine1. The virus, technically known as HTLV-1, is different from most others in that it is not evenly distributed world-wide, but occurs in distinct populations in regions of Japan, the Carribean, Sub-Saharan Africa, Papua New Guinea, northern Australia, and among South American native peoples. Furthermore, sub-types of HTLV-1 exist that are even more geographically limited. One specific subtype, Cosmopolitan group A, occurs only among native peoples in the Andes mountain area of northern Chile and in a sub-population of the Japanese. Now a team of researchers from Chile and Japan have found a possible explanation for this unusual geographic and ethic clustering. The group, led by Kazuo Tajima of the Aichi Cancer Center Research Institute in Nagoya, Japan, knew that the Japanese and the native peoples of northern Chile are both descendants of paleo-Mongoloids. Over 10,000 years ago, some of the paleo-Mongoloids migrated to Japan, while others crossed the land bridge formed between Alaska and Siberia and moved on to South America. Tajimas group asked whether these ancient Mongoloid people possessed the HTLV-1 strain that is carried by modern-day Japanese and Chilean people. To answer this question, they studied the hundreds of ancient Andean mummies excavated by archeologists from the Atamaca desert, a rainless plateau that runs from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes Mountains in northern Chile. Because of the arid and salty conditions of this region, the Atacamanian people that were buried there over 1,000 years ago were well-preserved. Hence Tajima and his team were able to isolate bone-marrow DNA and determine whether these people also carried this specific type of HTLV-1. Tajimas group screened over 100 mummies, and was able to isolate viral DNA from one of them. Analysis of the viral sequence revealed that the Atacamanian people did indeed carry the same strain of HTLV-1 as modern-day Chilean and Japanese individuals, . "The HTLV-1 isolated from the mummy might be the aboriginal HTLV-1 prevailing among Mongoloid people in Asia and the Andes over 1,500 years ago," says Tajima. He adds that the ancestral HTLV-1 DNA sequence was likely to be maintained by the descendants of these ancient people because the virus replicates very slowly, providing fewer opportunities for mutations. "This type of analysis could be a useful tool for studying the history of human retroviral infection as well as human prehistoric migration," says Tajima. Other types of HTLV-1 also have unique geographical distributions, and epidemiologists are trying to determine how these came to be. "The African HTLV-1 might have developed independently of Mongoloid people, while the Carribean HTLV-1 appears to be the mixture of two sub-types - the African and the Mongoloid". "Nobody knows which group was first infected with HTLV-1, only that it originally came from simians," says Tajima who believes that the human form of the virus probably originated through independent infections occurring in Africans and Melanesians.

[CTRL] Cancer Cure
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave Cancer Cure SUPPRESSED There is no cure for the common cold. There is a very simple CURE for cancer There is not ONE doctor in the world today who treats cancer? Historically we are repeating the very same lesson we learned in 1930. In caring for his diabetic patients the physician may amputate a leg, perform a liver, kidney or lung transplant and provide a Seeing Eye dog. However he is not treating DIABETES, but only the end result of diabetes. If the physician does not prescribe insulin, the missing metabolic requirement, he is not treating diabetes. Even should the physician prescribe insulin, the patient himself must give the needed medication from 1 to 4 times a day and adjust his diet. The patient, not the physician, must treat his own diabetes. Likewise, in caring for his CANCER patients, the physician may surgically remove a tumor mass, and destroy the patient's body with chemotherapy and/or radiation. However, he is not treating CANCER, but only the end results of cancer. Cancer is simply a metabolic malfunction of the patient's pancreas and failure of the pancreas to produce an adequate amount of pancreatin, for a number of reasons. Although the physician may prescribe pancreatin for his cancer patients, it is the patient himself who treats his own cancer by taking the pancreatin from 4 to 6 times daily as well as making adjustments in his diet. From the beginning of time, diabetes was a death sentence. In 1911 professor Scott discovered and documented the cure for Diabetes. All Physicians had only treated the results of diabetes, such as heart, liver and kidney damage, gangrene and blindness, but not diabetes. Everything went along the same as usual, diabetic patients dying, until the 1920's when Dr. Scott developed and standardized the blood test for diabetes. During this period, the Medical Establishment in their pompous ignorance and diabolical greed, murdered Dr. Scott's wife and only son. The Eli Lilly Co. was given the sole and only monopoly for the manufacture and sale of insulin, by the Big Establishment, which controls all monopolies. Lilly's problem was, they could not make insulin. Therefore by stealth, deceit and conspiracy, a Lilly conspirator confiscated Scott's procedures and technique for production of insulin. The Medical Establishment then forced Sir Dr. Frederick Banting to accept a Doctor of Medicine degree that he did not want and in which he had no interest. Next the Establishment gave the Nobel prize to Banting (a very honorable man) and Best (not so honorable) to cover up Lilly's theft of Scott's scientific discovery. Thus the Big Establishment conferred credibility upon Eli Lilly and Company. Lilly has had the monopoly on insulin ever since, making hundreds of millions of dollars down through the years. So it is today, the physician only treats malignant tumor masses, blood and immune system failures. The physician never treats CANCER. Four things usually happen to the physician who even attempts to treat CANCER: 1. He is immediately stripped of his license to practice medicine; and/or is 2. Thrown in jail for at least one year; and/or is 3. Run out of the country; (usually Mexico) and/or is Killed. For the time being, the CANCER victim must treat his/her own cancer. Legally, one must also allow the physician to treat the results of CANCER and plunder and frequently kill the victim. The Cancer Self-Test and procedures for treating one's cancer are carefully outlined in Dr. Kelley's One Answer to Cancer updated, 1997. I bring this message to you for several reasons. First, to remind you how desperately ill Cancer Victims become, and how easy it is for me to tell them what is needed to regain their health. Also, how exceedingly difficult it is for them to do it. Cancer Victims have to give up any hope they might have that their Orthodox or Alternative Treatment can be more than 20% successful. Although they are told this by their honest physicians, it remains hard to let go of the faintest glimmer of hope. The discipline necessary to do our Metabolic Program is a high hurdle for all Cancer Victims. For example a young man, Scott Stirling, a seriously ill cancer victim, came to my little, office (a 3 room shack) in Grapevine, Texas. At this point, the Metabolic Nutritional Supplements were pure and uncontaminated. The Medical Establishment was livid with me personally and deceived themselves that I was a 'health food nut' and no threat to their 100 Billion Dollar a year CANCER Racket of Plunder and Murder. Scot, of course, like other Cancer Victims, had to work very hard to reverse the progression of his terminal illness. Our Metabolic Paradigm was and is as true as 'gravity.' Like other scientists before me down through history, the Establishment tries with all their diabolic schemes and tricks to destroy it. Truth is a most difficult thing to destroy. If the Establishment cannot

I'll turn "on" the DC to the primary for just an instant and then turn it "off". In the secondary, there is a flux linkage, following the primary signal, which is some 90% of the input power. Any transformer secondary will produce about 180% of the input power in this mode, with a gradually applied quarter sine or sawtooth wave shape DC input.

-Caveat Lector- Hi Catherine, Lotta spooky books. In addition to the research on LTL (less than lethal) weapons RD and possible field testing, joint exercises, or other involvements between HUD and NIJ or DOJ, I have been researching also in the "overunity" or "free energy" field. As you may know, Tesla was a key figure with some overlap in these areas. We now see that "free energy" technology is intimately linked with mind control technology, and find some overlapping spook activity. Lt. Col. Bearden is an interesting force. His name comes up in relation to "free energy," biowarfare AIDS, and mind-control/e-war. Every time I think I'm getting close to some "big picture" one of the key pieces that I've fitted into the puzzle all of a sudden snaps into another piece causing a sort of "zoom out" to a bigger picture. Seems applied science really is a form of spiritual as well as material warfare. I keep coming face to face with this faceless beast, which quickly seizes the fruits of genius and ritualistically, materialistically inverts the pyramid representing the "highest and best" hopes of the genius/dreamers ... (there may be a key here somewhere) Sometimes it's so damned overwhelming. I get caught up in the (mis)belief that "the beast" has decent tools to work with and an open field to work in.. gotta stop smell the roses now then, and Real-ize the Fact that all this centuries-long plotting can only go so far in suppressing the human spirit... go too far and the human spirit just bails out on to the next experience..

[CTRL] IMPORTANT: Final Y2K preparations
-Caveat Lector- All: As you know, there are eighteen days remaining before we are faced with whatever 01/01/00 will bring. I would like to take a moment to wish you all a happy and healthy transition into the new year and beyond. I would also like to suggest that now is the time to finalize your preparedness plans. To that end, I offer the following suggestions which I consider to be the most expedient in protecting the best interests of yourselves and your families. Following these suggestions may range from moderately to extremely difficult and are, obviously, at the reader's discretion: 1. Remove any cash assets from your checking accounts and be sure to obtain an electronic statement clearly indicating your checking and savings balances prior to 12-20-99. Store large amounts of cash in several secure, readily accessible locations. 2. If practical, liquidate stocks, bonds and any other financial instruments on or before the first sign of market instability. Whether you invest in the market or not, monitor market activities very closely for the remainder of this year. 3. If you live in or near a major metropolitan area, make plans or reservations to stay with family, friends or in a hotel in a rural area for at least the days of 12-31-99 and 1-1-00. 4. Service your vehicles now and keep your tanks full at all times until after the end of the year. Keep at least minimal provisions for yourself and each family member in your vehicle until after the end of the year. 5. Obtain any basic medical services, including dentistry, that you or your family are likely to require for the next six months. Make the appointments now and for as soon as possible. 6. Obtain the maximum allowable number of refills for any required medications NOW! This is critical for anyone taking insulin or any other life-dependent medication. 7. Complete any last minute inventory replenishment, including ammunition for those who own fire arms and batteries for any portable appliances. 8. Gather and place in a secure location all vital family documents. These should include birth and medical records, tax receipts and records, property deeds and car titles. 9. On the evening of 12-31-99, fill all bathtubs and any empty vessel you can find with water. If possible, on 11:00pm of this date, turn off the electrical or gas service to your water heater and isolate (valve off) the heater tank from the outside water system. If needed, water can be used from this tank by draining it at the valve located on the bottom of the tank. If you are unsure how to complete any of the above tasks, contact a competent repairman or contractor. 10. If possible, obtain extra provisions for emergency heating and two way communications. 11. If you plan to leave your residence unattended during this time, secure it as much as possible against any event of civil unrest. Buy lots of plywood. 12. Stay OUT of airplanes and major cities between 11-31-99 and 1-2-00 Feel free to add whatever I haven't thought of to this list and pass it on if you consider it appropriate. God be with you all.

-Caveat Lector- Subject: Harmonics in N.Terr Aust by G Stewart Grid series No 10 I think you will find this rather interesting - a few scientific figures on the elite trying to bring us into the next dimension covertly. If anyone wants the channelled explanation of what the ETs are up to with this by the seeming perpeTRAITORS please email me. I just found a post on another list which is another angle on this. No proof but can anything invisible be proved anyway? No use looking for proof, when its too late, they could be doing the big 12 timeportal opening on Dec 31st.

HarmonIcs of Wycliffe Well and the Devil's Marbles area by Graham H. Stewart Copyright Graham H. Stewart 1995 (Hope deep down, he dosen't REALLY mind me sending around the net!) In the Northern Territory of Australia is a Roadhouse known as Wycliffe Well. Its a place that few have heard of save those who stop to break their long road journey. The area comprises of a roadhouse with refreshments facilities, and a petrol station with a small van park. Around early September 1994, it started to gain some publicity but not for its remote charm or welcome facilities. A number of strange brightly lit objects were beginning to make an appearance in the night sky and continued to do so for several weeks. Stories quickly circulated within the UFO research community which prompted an all out investigation of the unexplained phenomenon. The mysterious nocturnal lights soon caught the attention of the press who published several articles about the strange lights including photo stills taken from a video sequence. Even Channel 10 Television became involved, sending a news crew to do a story and obtain video footage of the object which, very strangely, never seemed to make air time. What was going on? Reports were still coming in from a growing number of witness including a bus load of 50 people who had stopped at the roadhouse. There was also an anonymous report from an over the horizon tracking station employee who stated that objects had shown up on radar. The objects seen and reported were mostly orange or white with secondary flashing red and green lights that moved in a highly erratic manner often remaining stationary for a period before darting off at phenomenal speeds. Telecom were at a loss to explain why phone and fax machines seemed to drop out when the objects appeared. Even EFTPOS machines were reported as giving trouble as well as radio reception and various electrical disturbances. Some of the more phenomenal sightings to be reported came from a well Imown tourist area north of Wycliffe Well called Devil's Marbles. The area comprises of many large rounded boulders which are set in rather an unusual landscape. Alicurung Aboriginal people who are quite familiar with the general area especially the Devil's Marble, said they had known about the mysterious lights for some time. The area comprising of the Devil's Marbles has been variously reported as having a strange feeling about it and there area some who won't go near the place. All of these strange hitherto unexplained events alerted mc to the possibilities of some very human activities of a covert scientific nature. To the south west ofthis apparently active area lies the enigmatic Pine gap Facility. On the basis of this hunch I decided to undertake a comprehensive Harmonic analysis of the Devil's marbles area including a number of known scientific establishments to see if anything of value could be found. It took some considerable time to examine all the various possibilities but what has emerged is quite staggering in its implications. The data that follows provides what I firmly believe to be overwhelming evidence of a Major Covert Scientific Operation. There is also strong evidence to suggest the existence of Space/Time Portals or Interdimentional Gate located very close to the area called Devil's Marbles. If what I have discovered is correct, the immediate implications are quite profound. It would certainly imply that some in the scientitic community are in possession of highly advanced physics beyond the understanding of mainstream science. Do certain scientists already know about the existence and location of this and very likely other Space/Time Portals? I am convinced that they do and furthermore, I now believe that thc Wycliffe Well and Devil's Marbles phenomenon of September 1994 was the result of advance scientific experiment. The centre point of the circle/cross marker falls just a few feet to the left of the Stewart Highway. It is quite possible that this "ripple in the space/time continuum" may be close to 1715 St Ft.
