The shell is used both as protection if the inner tube should burst and even more importantly as a shield against ultraviolet energy. Operating the lamp without this outer glass will exposes you to potentially damaging, invisible ultraviolet, rays which can result in both severe eye damage and sun burn to exposed areas of the body.

Buy a mercury vapor light unit from Ace Hardware, Builder's Square or similar place about 20-25 dollars. This includes the "starter". A 100 watt unit is fine. Wrap the bulb in a towel. Carefully break the outer bulb. One blow from a hammer will do it. You will find a small rectangular bulb inside (about 1 inch long). Mount the unit in an enclosure with a fan as it gets hot. You have an ozone generator which is very useful for topical applications, ozonating water or cleaning air. If you wish to ozonate water make the exhaust hole small in the enclosure.

These lamps have the lowest efficacies of the HID family, rapid lumen depreciation, and a low color rendering index. Because of these characteristics, other HID sources have replaced mercury vapor lamps in many applications. However, mercury vapor lamps are still popular sources for landscape illumination because of their 24,000 hour lamp life and vivid portrayal of green landscapes. The arc is contained in an inner bulb called the arc tube. The arc tube is filled with high purity mercury and argon gas. The arc tube is enclosed within the outer bulb, which is filled with nitrogen. Color-improved mercury lamps use a phosphor coating on the inner wall of the bulb to improve the color rendering index, resulting in slight reductions in efficiency. .

Those who count the votes decide everything." Communist Tyrant Josef Stalin February 5, 2000 NA (Network America) e-wire New York Times: Polls Unreliable Im working on an e-wire regarding one or two strategies the Ruling Elite may be about to embark on to Stop Buchanan and all other third party candidates. Hopefully that one tomorrow. Todays Network America e-wire concerns an article which appeared in the New York Times on February 3rd, 2000 about how the polls were off in New Hampshire, with brief commentary afterwards. Heres the article: ** Beginning of article: February 3, 2000 Poll Results Show Vulnerability in Calling Primaries Accurately New York Times By MICHAEL R. KAGAY Feb. 3, 2000 Polls of New Hampshire voters taken before Tuesday's primary election mostly got each party's winner right but were often not so accurate in measuring the size of each victory. Many of the pre-primary polls tended to underestimate the size of John McCain's victory and to overestimate the size of Al Gore's. On the Republican side, virtually all of the polls showed Mr. McCain leading George W. Bush, but by only a margin in single digits or low double digits. Mr. McCain won by 18 percentage points. By contrast, on the Democratic side, most pre-primary polls correctly showed Mr. Gore leading Bill Bradley but in several cases by double-digit margins. Mr. Gore won by just four percentage points. An example is the Gallup/CNN/ USA Today poll, which conducted daily tracking surveys leading up to the primary. In their final interviewing on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday they showed Mr. McCain with 44 percent and Mr. Bush with 32 percent, correctly indicating the victor but slightly underestimating the size of the McCain victory. On the Democratic side, the Gallup/CNN/USA Today poll found Mr. Gore with 54 percent and Mr. Bradley with 42 percent, again indicating the correct winner but somewhat overestimating the margin. The CBS News tracking poll in its final interviewing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday found Mr. McCain with only a 4-point lead in the Republican contest, and Mr. Gore with a 16-point lead in the Democratic race. Kathleen Frankovic, director of surveys at CBS News, said: "Polls fundamentally got the right share of the vote for the national front-runners. But the polls were too low on the two challengers because of late-deciding voters and the influence of independents." Polling experts over the years have emphasized the volatility and lower reliability of polls in primaries, as opposed to those in general elections. End of article ** Comments: 1. In computerized states, the Big TV Networks have been virtually infallible in calling races that were decided by only one or two points. In a handcounted state like New Hampshire (70% handcounted anyway, we see they just cant achieve that type of accuracy. 2. Notice that the pollsters claim that polls are not as reliable in primaries as they are in general elections. Why? Independents vote and change their mind at the last minute in general elections too. 3. This article is actually a sly defense of the propaganda polls to which the New York Times is a guilty party. While the writer is probably totally sincere, the New York Times is saying: The pollsters may have been pretty far off this time, but there are reasons. All in all, you can still trust the polls and everything else about Big Media Election coverage. The truth is that polls can be accurate, and they can be way off. There is no way that asking 600 or 1200 Americans their opinion on this and that issue can accurately reflect America opinion day after day on every issue under the sun. In other words, take away computerized elections and the glaringly inaccurate poll predictions that will result will cause the public to stop taking polls that seriously. Nothing could be worse for the Ruling Elite. Remember how during the Clinton impeachment the only argument left to the Democrats and the Newsmedia was that 70% of the American people dont want Clinton impeached More on this in a coming e-wire. 4. The bottom line is this: restore properly handcounted elections done by the neighborhood citizens and all these voodoo priests of polling will be TOTALLY discredited. Thats why the TV networks fight so hard against covering anything about the riggability of computerized elections.

[CTRL] Fwd: L.A. Times Column, 2/14/00 -- Programming
In a message dated 02/14/2000 10:37:54 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: -- Monday, February 14, 2000 DIGITAL NATION Gold Rush Mindset Undermining Programming Field By Gary Chapman Copyright 2000, The Los Angeles Times. All Rights Reserved Everyone is familiar by now with the colossal sums of money pouring into high tech, especially into firms that have something to do with the Internet. What is less commonly known is what this tidal wave of money may be doing to the technical professions upon which the "new economy" is built. The new economy surrounding the Web and e-commerce is in a historic phase similar to the California Gold Rush, says Steve McConnell, author of the new book "After the Gold Rush: Creating a True Profession of Software Engineering" (Microsoft Press, 1999) and editor in chief of IEEE Software magazine. McConnell notes the many similarities between the 1849 Gold Rush and the new economy, with the present-day equivalent of the tin pan and wooden sluice box being a desktop computer, fast Net connection and software compiler. He writes that in some sectors, especially software development, relatively low entry costs and the prospect of quick riches are attracting all kinds of people with wide varieties of experience. It's amazing to many outside the computing field that almost anyone can work as a software programmer. The fact that hordes of people are galloping to get into this field -- many without much understanding of how to program large, complex or important applications -- is leaving some experts uneasy. In the current gold rush climate, McConnell says, well-known principles of software design and engineering are being ignored. McConnell calls the most common programming technique the "code and fix" approach. Instead of designing a product, managers and programmers immediately get started on software coding, with its illusion of progress in the first few months. Eventually they get bogged down fixing their own errors. "Several studies have found that 40% to 80% of a typical software project's budget goes into fixing defects that were created earlier on the same project," McConnell writes. About 25% of all software projects are canceled, mostly for this reason. The code-and-fix model is more common among gold rush companies, where being first to market is far more important than putting out stable or high-quality software, McConnell says. Certain segments of the software market eventually mature, and users expect stability and relatively fewer bugs. But that's after the gold rush. The question is whether people whose experience in software development is mostly in rushed code-and-fix work can transition to more mature, carefully engineered projects. The workplace environment of such gold rush companies is distinguished by cruelly long hours, total dedication to the project, sacrifices in almost every other domain of life and the heady exhilaration of being at the cutting edge of technology and possibly near a big financial payoff. In "Code Rush," a new PBS documentary airing March 30, filmmaker David Winton and his crew were allowed near-total access to a team of Netscape programmers for a year while Netscape struggled to compete with Microsoft. "Code Rush" focuses on five programmers, four men and one woman, whose lives are utterly turned over to their software code. Winton captures the intelligence, exhilaration and monomania of the programmers as well as some sad byproducts of their labor, including divorce and exhaustion. If software is going to be our main economic activity for the foreseeable future, is there a better way to produce it? McConnell thinks so. He says the code-and-fix approach to software development, which fosters the idea of heroic programmers who can rescue a project by its deadline, should be replaced by conventional models of software engineering. He thinks the largely young work force of programmers fueling the new economy will soon grow up and become increasingly interested in work practices that allow them to complete their projects as promised and still be home in time for dinner. The problem is that managers of gold rush companies typically don't understand or care about software engineering techniques and think they don't have time to create or follow technical specifications. They would rather employ hotshot insomniac programmers who can crank out code that will make a venture capitalist see dollar signs. McConnell believes the software profession, like engineering, should require certification or licensing. Jobs that require licensing in California, he says, include barber, cosmetologist, funeral director, jockey and pest control specialist. But software engineers don't need to be licensed. Texas, where I live, has a professional software engineering license. But only a handful of

Orlin Grabbe/A - History is Bunk Chinese Group Threatens to A-Bomb Japanese Web Sites Deniers of the Nanjing holocaust. BEIJING, Feb 14, 2000 -- (Agence France Presse) An extreme right-wing Chinese group has declared cyber war on Japanese web sites in a bid to force "Japan's mad dogs" to face up to wartime atrocities committed in China. The self-styled Chinese Extreme Right-Wing Anti-Japanese Alliance, in a message on their web site www.bsptt.gx.cn/public/badboy/hack/, claimed to have attacked around 30 Japanese sites between January 24 and February 13. Launching a new "anti-Japanese war," the organization said it had targeted a series of web sites belonging to ministries, the prime minister, parliament and the state planning agency. It also claimed cyber raids on web sites belonging to the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper, the NHK television station, the central post office in Okinawa, an old people's home in Kyoto and the electronics group JVC. Japanese officials said last month a host of government web sites had been plastered with anti-Japanese graffiti. The site said the movement was founded by "information technology enthusiasts imbued with a strong sense of patriotism," and it called on readers to download special listed software to launch hacking attacks. "We welcome more anti-Japanese sites to join the attack and explode an atom bomb on the Japanese Internet," said the group. "The main principle of the alliance is to make continued cyberspace attacks on a small number of Japanese mad dogs. "The main attack goals will be the web sites of the little Japanese government and companies." The claim of responsibility came after Japanese officials said last month that hackers broke into a government Internet site and left a message blasting Tokyo's failure to recognise its war-time past. Messages in several languages were discovered at the site of the Management and Coordination Agency, which gathers economic official data, said Hiroshi Kume, head of the agency's planning section. In broken English, one message read: "Japanese, as all people know, is a folk which has no courage face to the truth of history. It's the disgrace of Asia," according to the official. Several days later the hackers launched new attacks, mocking government security controls. The cyber attack followed a nationalist conference in the western city of Osaka which denied the 1937 Nanjing massacre by Japanese troops in China ever took place, triggering fury in Beijing.

[CTRL] Fwd: [MC] Martin Orne - Death at 72!
That's three down, and how many to go! - - - - - Begin article - - - - - - - Martin T. Orne, 72, psychiatrist at Penn By Maria Panaritis INQUIRER STAFF WRITER Dr. Martin T. Orne, 72, a psychiatrist and longtime University of Pennsylvania academician who performed groundbreaking research into the limits of hypnosis and the behavior of subjects of psychological experiments, died Friday of cancer at Paoli Memorial Hospital. He lived in Merion Station. Dr. Orne's findings have greatly influenced law and psychiatry, limiting the use of hypnosis in criminal investigations and improving scientific methods for research. Dr. Orne gained celebrity in the 1970s and 1980s for his key roles in two high-profile criminal cases: the Patricia Hearst kidnapping and bank robbery, and the Hillside Strangler serial killings, both in California. He also counseled the tormented Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Anne Sexton during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Taped therapy sessions between the pair were woven into a biography years after Sexton's 1974 suicide. "We've lost a remarkable intellect," said David Dinges, director of Penn's Unit for Experimental Psychology, which Dr. Orne founded in 1964. The pair collaborated for more than 20 years. "He had an intuitive sense of what it meant to be human and how that expressed itself in the way we behave, in our mental illnesses," Dinges said. "He had a great compassion." Dr. Orne was born in Vienna, Austria. His father was a physician, his mother a psychiatrist. The family immigrated to Boston after fleeing the Nazis in Eastern Europe. Dr. Orne received his medical degree from Tufts University Medical School in 1955 and a doctorate in psychology from Harvard in 1958. He showed signs of brilliance early on. At Harvard, as a young doctoral student, Dr. Orne conducted a study concluding that people under hypnosis cannot completely re-experience or relive moments from very early in their development, Dinges said. Also in the 1950s, Dr. Orne published a seminal study called "The Social Psychology of the Psychological Experiment." In it, he demonstrated that the subjects of psychological experiments try to please experimenters by telling them what they think they are looking for. For the next 25 years, that publication "was one of the three most cited papers in American psychology," Dinges said. That study also was compelling beyond academia; it helped explain, for instance, cruelty by Nazis during World War II. Was there something in the German character that made Germans prone to such behavior, people wondered, or could such cruelty be explained psychologically? Dr. Orne's research pointed to the latter. "His work helped understand that humans do what they think is the right thing to do in the right context," Dinges said. "They interpret - based on cues - what they think the authority wants, and then give it to them." In 1964, Penn lured Dr. Orne from Harvard. He and his wife, psychologist Emily Carota Orne, conducted research showing that people's memories are altered - and often tainted with falsehoods - after hypnosis. The pair's work led courts across the nation in the late 1980s and early 1990s to adopt rigorous guidelines restricting the use of hypnosis on crime victims. His work in the Hearst and Hillside cases is perhaps best known to outsiders. Hearst, a newspaper-fortune heiress, was convicted in March 1976 for robbing a San Francisco bank with individuals who had kidnapped her weeks before. Dr. Orne testified that she had, essentially, been brainwashed during captivity. President Carter commuted Hearst's sentence in 1979. In 1979, through a series of carefully constructed questions and interviews, Dr. Orne proved that Kenneth Bianchi, the prime suspect in the killing of 10 women whose mutilated bodies were found along hillsides in northeastern Los Angeles, was pretending to have multiple personalities to avoid prosecution. Dr. Orne said that Bianchi was psychopathic and that he was lying about multiple personalities to buttress his claims of innocence by reason of insanity. Dr. Orne's intervention on behalf of prosecutors led investigators to find additional damning evidence against Bianchi. He pleaded guilty in October 1979 and testified against his cousin and codefendant, Angelo Buono. Dr. Orne's work in that case made a great impact on forensic psychiatry, said Robert L. Sadoff, director of the Center for Social-Legal Psychiatry at Penn. Dr. Orne is survived by his wife; two children, Franklin and Tracy; and a brother. A memorial service has been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at West Laurel Hill Chapel, Belmont Avenue, Bala Cynwyd. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Institute for Experimental Psychiatry Research Foundation, 1955 Locust St., Philadelphia, 19103. __ Post to: [EMAIL

[CTRL] Medical Privacy
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_dougherty/2215_xnjdo_shalala_pu.shml Shalala pulls plug on public comment No faxes allowed, e-mail restricted on proposed medical privacy rules By Jon E. Dougherty © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com Although Thursday marks the close of the 60-day public comment period on the Department of Health and Human Services' new and controversial proposed medical rules -- which critics say will destroy patient confidentiality and lead to a centralized medical data base -- the giant federal bureaucracy has made it so difficult for citizens to comment that even the ACLU is up in arms. The proposed rules, unveiled last fall by HHS, cite the need for new standards "to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information maintained or transmitted in connection with certain administrative and financial transactions." However, critics of the plan say the new rules, if approved, would instead move government closer to digitally warehousing medical information on all Americans, while providing third parties easier access to private medical records. In accordance with federal rulemaking processes, the department established a 60-day commentary period, which ends Thursday, for the public to voice opinions about the proposed rules. But Health and Human Services has made the process too cumbersome, say those who have tried to submit their views, prompting the American Civil Liberties Union to complain about the process. At one point the department accepted public comments by regular mail, fax and via email over the Internet. But after receiving an inordinate amount of complaints by fax -- some 2,400 according to the ACLU -- officials at HHS stopped accepting faxes and admonished those seeking to voice their opinions to use regular mail or the Internet. Yet the email option consists of "registering" at the HHS website, answering a list of invasive questions, and being assigned a unique identifier ID and password before allowing comments to be submitted. Mailing one's opinion is even more burdensome. Kent Snyder of the Liberty Study Committee, which opposes the new rules, said an HHS advisory asks citizens to "mail comments -- one original and three copies and if possible a floppy disk as well." The guidelines also say, "you should include your full name, address, telephone number, and a central or knowledgeable point of contact with your comments." The ACLU issued a press advisory complaining about the cumbersome commentary requirements. "This is a classic case of David vs. Goliath," said Laura W. Murphy, director of the ACLU's Washington Office. "The HHS system is set up so that it is far easier for special interest groups like the insurance industry to weigh in than it is for the average person to make their views known." The civil rights organization said the Health and Human Services website is "so complicated to use that it is virtually impossible to submit. And once a user locates the form, HHS has made it unnecessarily complicated and decidedly user-unfriendly." "Where is the opportunity for the American public to tell Secretary Shalala, 'I am concerned,' without having to submit their comments in quadruplicate or spend hours combing the agency's website?" said Murphy. "It is time for the reality of how HHS operates to match the President's promise of public participation." Worse, after thousands of people had faxed comments to Health and Human Services, ACLU officials were told by an agent of the Criminal Intelligence and Investigations section of the Federal Protective Service that the department would no longer accept faxes, suggesting the department considered them threatening or dangerous to the safety of HHS officials. Snyder said his organization has created a much simpler commentary form on the home page of their website. Internet users wishing to send their opinions about the proposed medical privacy rules will see a "copy" of a simple "memo" addressed to HHS, along with general information questions and a comments box. "We plan to hand-deliver each and every response we get -- no matter the point of view -- to HHS personally," Snyder said. Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala said Nov. 3 that her new proposals were "an important first step" in protecting the medical privacy of all Americans. "Our proposals will provide Americans with greater peace of mind as they seek care, yet they are balanced with the need to protect public health, conduct medical research and improve the quality of health care for the nation," Shalala said. Snyder said the rules would actually harm medical privacy by giving access control of all medical records to a number of groups who don't currently have access. They also give the federal government
[CTRL] Would Clinton Try to Assassinate Slobodan Milosevic?
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Would Clinton Try to Assassinate Slobodan Milosevic? Will Creating Anarchy in Other Nations Become American policy? By Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources (www.originalsources.com) February 14, 2000 One of my readers, T.V. Weber, who is very knowledgeable on what has and is happening in Kosovo, e-mailed me a question: In your February 8, 2000 article entitled "Is It Democracy or Anarchy that Clinton and Blair Demand in Europe? America Found About KLA the Hard Way in Kosovo" you end with the powerful paragraph: "Increasingly, it appears, if voters in other countries don't vote the way the White House wants them to vote, they are treated as enemies and either isolated, sanctioned or bombed. And where does that lead? Quite often to the kind of anarchy that now exists in Kosovo." My only question is: will this become domestic policy? I would write myself off as paranoid, however I have several friends in the mental health profession who insist that I am NOT suffering from that particular neurosis. My sister Roberta has a little saying about paranoia. "If someone really IS out to get you, you are not being paranoid for thinking someone is out to get you." We have this huge organization called the Central Intelligence Agency which has a budget of nearly $27 billion. We don't know how many people are employed there, nor do we know much about what the people there do. It's a secret. Would the CIA do things that might lead to anarchy in other countries, like assassinating people elected leaders of other nations, for instance? Would any NATO country do such a thing, do you suppose? Well, spying and spies may be changing since the fall of the Soviet Union, since the reason for the very existence of the CIA, which was created in 1947 with the signing of the National Security Act by President Truman, was to coordinate the nation's intelligence activities. It was primarily concerned with the threat of Communism and the Soviet Union. For the last decade, of course, it has had to find other goals to justify the expenditure of that $27 billion. The British intelligence agency has had much the same problem. What appears to have happened is an expansion of intelligence activity in all kinds of areas and some of those areas have really bothered some of the spies working in the agencies. Richard Tomlinson, a former British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) agent who had tried to tell the people of Great Britain what some of their money was being used for. In 1998 he said, in part, in an affidavit which was posted on the Internet to the horror of the intelligence community: (http://www.anaserve.com/~wethepeople/tomlin3.htm) In 1992, as the civil war in the former Yugoslavia became increasingly topical, I started to work primarily on operations in Serbia. During this time, I became acquainted with Dr Nicholas Bernard Frank FISHWICK, born 1958, the MI6 officer who at the time was in charge of planning Balkan operations. During one meeting with Dr Fishwick, he casually showed to me a three-page document that on closer inspection turned out to be an outline plan to assassinate the Serbian leader President Slobodan Milosevic. The plan was fully typed, and attached to a yellow "minute board", signifying that this was a formal and accountable document. It will therefore still be in existence. Tomlinson named names, dates and places and added: "This plan contained a political justification for the assassination of Milosevic, followed by three outline proposals on how to achieve this objective." Last week the latest in a series of assassinations or near assassinations took place in Belgrade when the federal minister of defense Pavle Bulatovic was gunned down by someone who was able to "shoot with precision with an automatic rifle." The Bulatovic assassination came only three weeks after the murder in similar style of Zeljko Raznatovic, a militia leader and Milosovic supporter known as Arkan in the lobby of Belgrade's plush Intercontinental Hotel. In early October, on a lonely road south of Belgrade, a truck loaded with sand plowed into a convoy carrying Serbian opposition leader Vuk Draskovic and four others to a Sunday picnic. Only Draskovic survived. Draskovic supported Milosevic throughout the bombing and was critical of other minority party leaders for taking money offered to Milosevic opponents. Of course, the spin put on all these assassinations and assassination attempts is that they are all Milosevic's fault. For some reason we are all supposed to believe that Milosevic would hire assassins to kill his supporters and cabinet officers in highly public mafia style executions. Would our beloved CIA do such dastardly deeds? Well, apparently even the New York Times has its suspicions. In a front page story yesterday, entitled, "U.S. Victims of Chile's

For more Woman-empowering writings, click here. Sometime in the first half of 1997, I learned what a "considered" opinion was. It was a life-changing event for me. Up until that time, I had many opinions, but I couldn't tell you anything substantive to back them up. In fact, I had picked up many of my opinions from a 1-minute spot on the evening news or from a 500-word article in the paper. My opinions were someone else's opinions; I never stopped to think about the other side of the argument. Guns are by the far my best example of this. I started dating Jim in January 1997. He was a wonderful man and we really connected right from the start. Soon thereafter Jim told me he carries a gun, all - the - time, and owns several other handguns and rifles. My initial reaction was that this guy was either a psycho or paranoid. But the psycho/paranoid profile did not fit him. He was a software developer, loved people, and was very confident in his abilities... I was confused. Guns were not part of my background. I truly knew nothing about them, but right away I told Jim that in my opinion what he was doing was "bad and wrong". I later found out that I did not have a considered opinion about guns. Eventually Jim persuaded me to shoot a gun. He set up a very safe and gentle environment to learn. We went out alone into the woods, he held my back while I shot and the minute I wanted to stop, we did. He also continued to ask me how I was feeling and what I thought of it (women love that). We would take breaks and he would give me some background on the mechanics of guns and their history and finally about the movement in the country to take guns away from its citizens. Looking back, this environment was essential for me to develop my "considered opinion"... without it I may not have continued to try shooting again, and again. I have since seen many women at the range or out in the woods with their man acting like a drill Sergeant. I understand that being safe is important, but if we are going to make a difference in the world, women have to be enrolled into owning guns--and women do learn differently than men. Eventually I learned about the 2nd Amendment. At this point I agreed to go through the CCW class for the education--to increase my awareness, but I had no intention of ever carrying a gun. After the class and talking with many people, there was no question in my mind that I wanted to carry a gun and be able to protect myself. I was not going to be a victim, and I wanted to exercise my 2nd amendment right--The Freedom Right. What I got was much more than that. The first day I went out in public with a gun on, I cried from when I got in Jim's car until we arrived at our destination 25 minutes later. I was overwhelmed by the power of having the ability to kill someone. I thought I would not be able to carry a gun again, but then my feeling changed from the power to kill to the power to protect. I took a GunSite training course that continued my education and training. Most importantly, the GunSite course gave me the confidence I needed to know that I was not dangerous in public or at home, but rather very safe. As a woman, I had now leveled the field. I now firmly believe that many people, especially women, become victims because they avoid (unconsciously) taking responsibility for their protection, which comes in many forms, not just guns. I have a sister who has 9 police reports for crimes committed against her and yet she continues to dye her brown hair blonde and act like the stereotypical blonde. She has become an easy target. When I have my gun on, I carry myself differently, I am more alert and more confident... predators can smell this and stay away from me. Carrying a gun is an extra layer of protection I have added to the many other tools I employ. After 3 years of being around guns and 21/2 years of having a CCW permit, my considered opinion is this: The media, in conjunction with the politicians, brainwashed me at a young age into thinking that citizens

Alas no - it was ruled that their full names be disclosed - and were subsequently plastered all over every UK newspaper. I phoned up the guardian newspaper editorial - a so called 'quality' newspaper and complained to the editors assistant - saying that the UK press had thrown these guys and their families back home to the wolves.

She then got brusque - 'name and number' she demanded in a harsh tone - andrew hennessey I said and 0131 554 4486 - thats 554 44 8 sick - she said. ah I said, I hope that now you've got my number you will use it and get the editor to phone me with an apology I said - but in a low and threatening voice she said - 'its for our records' - ah, pass it on to MI6 then I said.

[CTRL] Fwd: [watchalert] Withcraft Law Up For Review
From: "The Watch" [EMAIL PROTECTED] WITCHCRAFT WITCHCRAFT LAW UP FOR REVIEW PARLIAMENT February 11 2000 Sapa South Africa's antiquated witchcraft legislation is to be reviewed in an attempt to help traditional communities resolve disputes without resorting to violence, according to the Commission for Gender Equality (CGE). Commissioner Elize Delport told Parliament's committee on children, youth and disabled people on Friday that the act was vague, ineffective, and could be fuelling the kind of violence it sought to prevent. There are regular reports of witchcraft-related killings in South Africa's rural areas. Particularly problematic has been the Northern Province, where women are often targeted as witches. Delport said that in the wake of workshops held in September 1998 and December last year, which involved traditional healers and leaders, academics, and victims and perpetrators of witchcraft-related violence, the commission had drawn up proposals for a new law. Its working title was the Regulation of Baloyi Practices Act. She said Baloyi was a Venda word for which there was no precise English equivalent, but could be loosely translated as "witchcraft". The Law Commission, the department of justice and the CGE had formed a committee to take the proposals through the normal legislative process. She said the existing act totally denied the existence of witchcraft and, by extension, any belief in witchcraft, and was aimed at punishing people who accused others of the practice. In traditional society, a witchcraft accusation would be an indication of discord and deeper problems in a community, which traditional leaders would then mediate. The draft legislation proposed that this process - which was thwarted by the current act - be recognised in law. However she doubted whether legislation alone would "do the trick", and the commission was carrying out public education to change people's perceptions. The Witchcraft Suppression Act, passed in 1957, sets a 20-year jail sentence for anyone who, professing a knowledge of witchcraft, names one person as having caused death, injury, grief, or disappearance of another. It also provides for up to five years in jail for anyone who "professes a knowledge of witchcraft, or the use of charms...(and) supplies any person with any pretended means of witchcraft". http://www.anc.org.za:80/ancdocs/briefing/nw2214/8.html --- ONElist Sponsor FREE ADVICE FROM REAL PEOPLE!

[CTRL] Man charged with trying to smuggle camera to China (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Man charged with trying to smuggle camera to China Updated 8:48 PM ET February 14, 2000 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A man accused of trying to smuggle an infrared camera used in missile guidance systems to China was charged Monday with violating U.S. export laws, federal prosecutors said. Jeffrey Jhyfang Lo, a Chinese-born American citizen, was arrested Saturday night while trying to board a flight from Los Angeles to Wuhan, China, with an infrared thermal imaging camera and two lenses. Lo was charged Monday with violating the U.S. Arms Export Control Act, which regulates defense articles, services and technical data. He was expected in court by Tuesday for a reading of the charges. Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorneys Office in Los Angeles, cautioned reporters that Lo had not been charged with espionage. "We are continuing to investigate this case to determine the significance of the export violation," he said, adding that the camera had civilian as well as military applications. In an affidavit submitted filed in court Monday, U.S. Customs Special Agent Shane Folden said the camera "has numerous military capabilities, such as use on missile guidance systems, satellite reconnaissance systems and detecting ships and aircraft at night." Folden, the agent in charge of the investigation, said Lo paid an undercover FBI agent working for a defense contracting company $142,000 for the camera. Lo allegedly told the agent that it would be used for "missile and reconnaissance systems in the PRC (People's Republic of China)." Folden said Lo also wanted to discuss the purchase of 38 more cameras for use by the Chinese State Shipbuilding Corp. in the South China Sea and told the undercover FBI agent: "I don't want to see you pull any, like, FBI stuff on me. I'm serious." Folden said he arrested Lo on the jetway, just before he was to board his plane for China and questioned him. "During my conversation with Lo, he admitted that he was bringing an IR (infrared) camera and lenses to China and admitted having knowledge that the IR camera required a license to be legally exported out of the United States," Folden said.

[CTRL] Singlaub Sues CNN
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- http://www.apbnews.com/media/mediawatch/2000/02/14/singlaub_main0214_01.html ?s=syn.daily_singlaub_main0214 Vietnam General: I Am Not a War Criminal Singlaub Sues CNN Over Vietnam Nerve Gas Accusations Feb. 14, 2000 By James Gordon Meek James Gordon Meek/APBnews.com Retired Maj. Gen. John Singlaub ARLINGTON, Va. (APBnews.com) -- Retired Maj. Gen. John Singlaub wants you to know he is not a war criminal. The former special forces commander said he did not use banned chemical weapons during the Vietnam War, nor did he carpet-bomb his own men, as alleged in reports by the Cable News Network (CNN) two years ago. He wants you to appreciate his sincerity, his frustration and humiliation at the hands of the national news media -- and he wants you to understand why he's now suing CNN, Time Inc., Time-Warner and two journalists. His lawsuit claims a 1997 CNN broadcast on the covert missions of America's longest war accused him of committing war crimes. His lawsuit also claims a 1998 follow-up report by CNN implied he had knowledge of alleged atrocities involving the use of nerve gas against American defectors in Laos. With mediation aimed at settling the lawsuits set to begin Feb. 21 -- including a countersuit against Singlaub by fired CNN producer April Oliver -- the career soldier still agonizes over what he regards as a defamatory assessment of his wartime service more than 30 years ago. "I want to make it absolutely clear that Singlaub did not commit war crimes, that the troops under him and those who followed in his command did not commit war crimes," the two-star general -- speaking of himself in the third person -- told APBnews.com in an exclusive interview about the case. He sees his final mission as the restoration of his good name, his honor and the dignity of his men. In collaboration with Time magazine, CNN's Impact program ran a segment on Sept. 14, 1997, called "Secret Warriors" that told the story of a covert unit conducting cross-border "black" operations in Communist-held North Vietnam and the neutral countries of Cambodia and Laos. The Special Forces operators tasked with many of the war's most dangerous missions were volunteers in the Studies and Observations Group under the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACVSOG). Throughout the war, the force dispatched small teams to infiltrate, disrupt and document Communist trade routes and camps in "Indian country" -- hostile territory. Singlaub, a barrel-chested, crew-cut officer who commanded SOG from 1966 to 1968, said on camera that he had requested an "incapacitating agent" for his men to use in dart guns. It was possibly lethal, the CNN report alleged and, if so, was illegal under the Geneva Protocol's rules of warfare. The United States was a signatory, but Congress did not ratify the treaty until 1975, the broadcast said. The CNN-Time report also said the general had agreed that SOG teams understood they might be targeted on these secret missions by American B-52 Stratofortress bombers rather than risk capture by the enemy during battle. All these assertions are now being denied by Singlaub. "We never targeted Americans, as alleged," Singlaub told APBnews.com. "We never dropped B-52 strikes on our own troops. And the idea that I attempted to put in a request for lethal agents is just false." What were these potentially lethal agents? They were not identified in the 1997 "Secret Warriors" segment, except as chemical agents one on-camera expert said were prohibited by international law. "Singlaub knew this and demanded them anyway," correspondent Peter Arnett told viewers. "The Pentagon eventually armed some SOG teams with darts filled with chemicals, gas canisters and full-body protective gear." Incapacitating vs. killing Yet, a review by APBnews.com of the raw footage from the only on-camera interview Singlaub gave to CNN on July 8, 1997, tells a different story. Singlaub repeatedly stated to producer April Oliver that he had requested a nonlethal "incapacitating agent" akin to an animal tranquilizer for the purpose of subduing enemy troops for capture and interrogation. He said the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- the highest level in the military chain of command -- turned down his request, and the chemicals were never used during his SOG tenure. In an exchange excluded from the 18-minute "Secret Warriors" segment, Singlaub said to Oliver: "The incapacitating agents were not lethal, generally speaking, they are not lethal. That's why they are 'incapacitating agents,' as opposed to a 'killing agent.'" Oliver asked Singlaub if SOG ever used killing agents as far as he knew. "I can say that with absolute assurance in all the time that I was there, and in talking to my predecessors, whom I know well, I continued CONTINUED to Page 2 of 3: War crime or 'humanitarian innovation'? http://www.apbnews.com/media/mediawatch/2000/02/14/singlaub_main0214_02.html

I am afraid I will have to discontinue what I believe to be a very important service for all of us by the end of this month. I was hopeful we would have been picked up by this time with a national syndication. Well it has not happened. I can't help but think it is just around the corner. But those close to me say they have heard this before. They're right. If you feel what we are doing at ECTV has been helpful to you and your family, then perhaps you could help (at least for a while). I am adamant regarding keeping this site and information free. The information is just too important to not let everyone have access to be best informed for the changes to come. There is a way to keep ECTV alive. This will be a one time only statement. If you feel you could afford a $1.00 per month or say $10.00 every 6 months, then maybe we can keep going. I continue to have a fervent passion for what I cover, and would love to continue providing this very sensitive information. Thank you to the few who sent a donation from a few weeks ago.

Planned for a July 2002 launch, CONTOUR is expected to encounter Comet Encke in November 2003 and Comet Schwassmann- Wachmann-3 in June 2006. The mission has the flexibility to include a flyby of Comet d'Arrest in 2008 or an as-yet undiscovered comet, perhaps originating from beyond the orbit of Pluto. Such an unforeseen cometary visitor to the inner solar system, like Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995, would present a rare opportunity to conduct a close-up examination of these mysterious, ancient objects which normally reside in the cold depths of interstellar space. The nucleus of a comet is its heart, believed by scientists to be a tiny irregular chunk of ice and rock. To date only one comet nucleus has ever been viewed by a spacecraft: Comet Halley in 1986. CONTOUR will fly past at least two comets and take higher resolution images than those of Halley. It will also collect and analyze gas and dust to reveal the comet's makeup, greatly improving our knowledge of key characteristics of comet nuclei and providing an assessment of their diversity. CONTOUR also will clear up the many mysteries of how comets evolve as they approach the Sun and their ices begin to evaporate. The CONTOUR spacecraft will fly by each comet at the peak of its activity when it's close to the Sun. During each encounter, the target comet will also be well situated in the night sky for astronomers worldwide to make concurrent observations from the ground. The spacecraft will fly by each comet at a distance of about 60 miles (100 kilometers). After successful completion of both the Preliminary Design Review and an independent Confirmation Assessment and the Confirmation Review at NASA Headquarters, the comet flyby project is well on its way toward completing the spacecraft design. The CONTOUR mission is managed for NASA by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, in Laurel, MD. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Joseph Veverka of Cornell University, NY.

[CTRL] White House accused of cover-up (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- "In fact, a White House official told one of the contractors they had a jail cell with his name on it if he discussed the matter," she said. February 15, 2000 White House accused of cover-up By Jerry Seper and Andrew Cain THE WASHINGTON TIMES The White House hid thousands of e-mails containing information on Filegate, Chinagate, campaign finance abuses and Monica Lewinsky, all of which were under subpoena by a federal grand jury and three congressional committees, a former White House computer manager says. Sheryl L. Hall, chief of White House computer operations who has since moved to a similar position at the Treasury Department, said administration officials covered up the fact that electronic messages from August 1996 to November 1998 had not been surrendered, as required by law, deciding instead to label them as "classified" documents. She said the cover-up was part of a bid to delay the investigations into 2001. "Contractors working at the White House discovered the glitch showing that 100,000 White House e-mails involving nearly 500 computer users had not been located during the document search," said Mrs. Hall. "When the contractors told the White House about the problem, they were threatened, warned not to discuss it. They were told the documents were classified. "In fact, a White House official told one of the contractors they had a jail cell with his name on it if he discussed the matter," she said. At least 4,000 of the e-mails involved or related to Miss Lewinsky, the former White House intern with whom President Clinton has admitted having a sexual relationship, she said. The veteran computer manager, who left the White House after being demoted for questioning the propriety of the administration's use of a database system for political purposes, has since become a critic of the White House. She has accused first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and nine White House political appointees in a pending lawsuit of job harassment and reprisals for her complaints. The suit has been filed in U.S. District Court in Washington by Judicial Watch, a public interest law firm. In addition to the Lewinsky messages, she said hundreds of other e-mails included references to the White House's receiving secret FBI files on former Reagan and Bush administration officials; information on the selection of corporate executives for overseas trade trips; and messages concerning campaign finance activities in the 1996 election. She said the glitch was first discovered in May 1998, when the contractors traced a programming error on one of four White House servers back to August 1996. The error involved e-mails to and from 464 White House computer users and the problem was not fixed until November 1998. The White House e-mails had been sought under subpoena by a federal grand jury, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee and the House Government Reform Committee. They also were sought by Judicial Watch in separate pending suits involving Filegate and Chinagate. Mrs. Hall, who was assigned to the White House in October 1992 from the Naval Sea Systems Command, said the missing e-mails were discovered when the contractor, Northrop Grumman Corp., found that one of the four White House Lotus Notes e-mail servers handling the mail for about 500 computer users had been mislabeled and that a White House search of electronic messages under the subpoenas was incomplete. She said e-mails from that server were not properly managed for a two-year period meaning they were not collected by the mainframe computer during the subpoena record search. Mrs. Hall said White House project directors, Mark Lindsay and Laura Crabtree, were told by Northrop Grumman of the glitch but chose not to make the problem public. "There's no doubt they knew the search had not been complete, and the missing records included those involving Miss Lewinsky and other matters of concern," she said. "They could have retrieved the documents, and they should have done it forthrightly." Mr. Lindsay, head of the White House Office of Management and Administration, did not return calls seeking comment. Miss Crabtree, customer support branch chief at the White House who has since moved to the Labor Department, was unavailable for comment. White House spokesman James Kennedy said administration officials made "a good faith effort to respond in a timely fashion to all requests for information" sought under subpoena, but declined to elaborate. "We generally do not discuss the details of particular requests," he said. Mr. Kennedy would not address Mrs. Hall's accusation that 100,000 electronic messages were not turned over, saying he was "not going to get into the specifics of any allegation."

[CTRL] Shalala pulls plug on public comment
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! -- -- -- -- Shalala pulls plug on public comment No faxes allowed, e-mail restricted on proposed medical privacy rules -- -- By Jon E. Dougherty © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com Although Thursday marks the close of the 60-day public comment period on the Department of Health and Human Services' new and controversial proposed medical rules -- which critics say will destroy patient confidentiality and lead to a centralized medical data base -- the giant federal bureaucracy has made it so difficult for citizens to comment that even the ACLU is up in arms. The proposed rules, unveiled last fall by HHS, cite the need for new standards "to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information maintained or transmitted in connection with certain administrative and financial transactions." However, critics of the plan say the new rules, if approved, would instead move government closer to digitally warehousing medical information on all Americans, while providing third parties easier access to private medical records. In accordance with federal rulemaking processes, the department established a 60-day commentary period, which ends Thursday, for the public to voice opinions about the proposed rules. But Health and Human Services has made the process too cumbersome, say those who have tried to submit their views, prompting the American Civil Liberties Union to complain about the process. At one point the department accepted public comments by regular mail, fax and via email over the Internet. But after receiving an inordinate amount of complaints by fax -- some 2,400 according to the ACLU -- officials at HHS stopped accepting faxes and admonished those seeking to voice their opinions to use regular mail or the Internet. Yet the email option consists of "registering" at the HHS website, answering a list of invasive questions, and being assigned a unique identifier ID and password before allowing comments to be submitted. Mailing one's opinion is even more burdensome. Kent Snyder of the Liberty Study Committee, which opposes the new rules, said an HHS advisory asks citizens to "mail comments -- one original and three copies and if possible a floppy disk as well." The guidelines also say, "you should include your full name, address, telephone number, and a central or knowledgeable point of contact with your comments." The ACLU issued a press advisory complaining about the cumbersome commentary requirements. "This is a classic case of David vs. Goliath," said Laura W. Murphy, director of the ACLU's Washington Office. "The HHS system is set up so that it is far easier for special interest groups like the insurance industry to weigh in than it is for the average person to make their views known." The civil rights organization said the Health and Human Services website is "so complicated to use that it is virtually impossible to submit. And once a user locates the form, HHS has made it unnecessarily complicated and decidedly user-unfriendly." "Where is the opportunity for the American public to tell Secretary Shalala, 'I am concerned,' without having to submit their comments in quadruplicate or spend hours combing the agency's website?" said Murphy. "It is time for the reality of how HHS operates to match the President's promise of public participation." Worse, after thousands of people had faxed comments to Health and Human Services, ACLU officials were told by an agent of the Criminal Intelligence and Investigations section of the Federal Protective Service that the department would no longer accept faxes, suggesting the department considered them threatening or dangerous to the safety of HHS officials. Snyder said his organization has created a much simpler commentary form on the home page of their website. Internet users wishing to send their opinions about the proposed medical privacy rules will see a "copy" of a simple "memo" addressed to HHS, along with general information questions and a comments box. "We plan to hand-deliver each and every response we get -- no matter the point of view -- to HHS personally," Snyder said. Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala said Nov. 3 that her new proposals were "an important first step" in protecting the medical privacy of all Americans. "Our proposals will provide Americans with greater peace of mind as they seek care, yet they are balanced with the need to protect public health, conduct medical research and improve the quality of health care for the nation," Shalala said. Snyder said the rules would actually harm medical privacy by giving access control of all

Jerry Doesn't Love Lucy! by Emily Farache Feb 14, 2000, 10:30 AM PT Jerry Lewis is The Ladies' Man no longer. The alleged funnyman was anything but this weekend at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado, when he made disparaging remarks about female comics and said women were just "a producing machine" for babies. Lewis, 73, was on hand at the fest Saturday night for a career retrospective honoring his lifetime of comedy, but after glowing comments about his long-estranged former partner Dean Martin, his remarks turned sour. During a QA session moderated by Martin Short, a member of the 1,000-strong audience asked Lewis which female comics he admires. Replied Lewis, "I don't like any female comedians." Short quickly asked Lewis about Lucille Ball--"You must have loved her." "No," the Geisha Boy star said. "A woman doing comedy doesn't offend me, but sets me back a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies in the world." By all accounts, the remarks were met by a stunned silence. Associated Press reports many left the St. Regis Hotel conference room shaking their heads in disbelief at the man who has devoted himself to muscular-dystrophy research and whose good works even led to a Nobel Peace Prize nomination in 1977.

What I call 'reading the river.' Eugene Dinkins called it "exercise[s] in 'psychological sets.'" Om K - The Strange Tale of Eugene Dinkins by Robert Mitchell The amazing facts contained in the follow- ing F.B.l. document, which we are reprinting in full, are true. Dinkin's story has been verified through the existence of cablegrams between the C.l.A.'s Geneva and Washington offices. both before and after the Kennedy assassination. Careful examina- tion of those cablegrams, as well as other documents. reveal that the C.I.A. actively tried to coverup the fact that prior to November 22, 1963 PFC Dinkin was at- tempting to reveal the existence of a plot to assassinate Kennedy. The cablegrams also, reveal that efforts were made to silence Dinkin and suppress the story. Following the assassination, published reports revealed that someone had advance information of the assassination. and the Warren Commission requested to be fur- nished documents relative to the allegation. In a secret memo to J. Lee Rankin, Chief Council of the Warren Commission, C.I.A. Deputy Director Richard Helms states "Im- mediately AFTER the assassination (our source in) Geneva, Switzerland reported allegations concerning a plot to assassinate President Kennedy were made by PFC Eugene Dinkin, U.S. Army, on 6 and 7 November. 1963." But Helms appeared to be withholding the fact that the Agency had knowledge of Dinkin's allegations prior to the assassination. One of the cablegrams, titled "IN CABLE No. 56631," dated November 7 1963. reported on Dinkin's background and allega- tions of a plot. At the end of the cable, Geneva asked: "DIRECTOR: Advise any ac- tion desired. will continue to monitor developments via army attache, F.B.l, Geneva contacts, but will not become involv- ed visavis Swiss unless so directed." Thus. the C.I. A.. and others in the intelligence communi- ty had full knowledge of Dinkin's assertions. prior to the assassination. Evidence abounds that the cables were weighted with subliminal suggestions, design- ed to give a predisposition to the notion that PFC Dinkin was mentally unstable. For exam- ple, cablegrams tend to be written in short. choppy sentences. often including abbrevia- tions. omitting articles, and avoiding adjec- tives. However. when Dinkin is referred to, adjectives are freely added, intending to imp- ly that Dinkin was a crackpot. "IN CABLE 56631" dated November 16. 1963 refers to Dinkin's "Wild but amazing coincidence. . . " and states that Dinkin ". . . had given his wild story in Souisee"(Switzerland). Later, it states that a Time-Life stringer ". . . RECOLLECTED. OR THOUGHT SHE RECOLLECTED TALE TOLD BY SUBJ." This wording subtly-throws a shadow of doubt on the corroborating reporter. Dinkin is further referred to as "unbalanced" on two separate occasions in this one, short cable. Evidence that the C.I.A. tried to suppress the story and keep it from coming to the at- tention of the Secret Service, also, emerges.

Dinkin advised that while stationed in Europe with the U.S. Army in 1963. he had begun a review of several newspapers in- cluding the Stars and Stripes as an exercise in "psychological sets." He explained that he had taken courses in psychology at college and was extremely interested in this subject matter.

Re: [CTRL] alleged failure to report child abuse
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Hi ! Below please find an article about an alleged failure to report child abuse. Sincerely, Neil Brick This may be triggering for survivors of abuse. http://www.sltrib.com/2000/feb/02102000/utah/24650.htm Clergy May Have Known of Sex Abuse Thursday, February 10, 2000 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOGAN -- A man is facing sex abuse charges for allegedly fondling a boy, and investigators are looking into allegations that three Mormon bishops were aware of the abuse and did not report it. Jay Toombs, 44, of Benson, faces three first-degree felony counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child for allegedly fondling a 10-year-old boy in 1993 and 1994. "There have been a significant number of allegations made," Cache County Attorney Scott Wyatt said. "We have filed charged based on one boy's claims. We are looking at others." Wyatt said there is concern that clergy may have been aware of the abuse and failed to report it. He said at least three Mormon bishops may have been told about the alleged abuse. Failure to report child abuse is a crime, Wyatt said. "The tragedy happens [in this type of case] when someone who has an obligation to report abuse, doesn't," Wyatt said. "Then they later discover this person has continued to perpetrate. That's hard to deal with. It's hard to recognize your inaction could have been the cause of creating other victims." The law says clergy members are not obligated to report crimes heard in "a confessional" capacity, Wyatt said. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, members are encouraged to talk with their bishops about serious violations of church doctrine, some of which could involve criminal acts. Those conversations are private. However, when bishops hear of crimes from people other than the alleged offender, they are obligated to report them, Wyatt said. In Toombs' case, investigators believe alleged victims' family members counseled with Mormon bishops and nothing was done, Wyatt said. Toombs is being held in the Cache County Jail. Toombs made an initial appearance in court Monday. No bail amount has been set. A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

The Ten Worst Corporations of 1999
by Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman
The consequences of corporations and greed run amok
Charles Dickens, where are you when we need you?
Never has "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" served as a
more apt commentary on society than today.
The NASDAQ just broke 4,000 and has nearly doubled in 1999. The Dow is at near-
record heights as well. Internet, computer and communications technologies are
evolving at a stunning velocity. A lot of people are becoming incredibly
wealthy, and a lot are having fun on the Internet.
If you want, you can look at this state of affairs and say that everything is
fine. Go ahead, pat yourself on the back.
Or, you can look at a different set of snapshots and ask these and many other
probing questions:
Why does the United States, the richest nation in the history of the world,
warehouse its elderly in what are euphemistically called nursing homes,
permitting many to live out their last years in social isolation and sometimes
filth and neglect?
Why are profitable and fast-growing corporations permitted to expose their workers to
dangerous and life-threatening conditions that could be avoided with minimal
investments?
Why are the poor, undereducated and unsophisticated subject to a host of financial
scams that empty their small savings accounts or throw them into debt?
Why are working people in the United State who try to organize into unions regularly
subjected to threats of firing and plant closure, harassment, intimidation and
managerial refusal to bargain with duly elected unions?
Why does the United States permit the massive concentration of economic and political
power through mergers and acquisitions that work to foreclose democratic options for
the future?
Why do rich societies permit their corporations to engage, directly or indirectly,
through contractors and subcontractors, in brutally exploitative practices in
developing countries -- practices that have long been outlaw
ed in the rich countries?
Why indeed.
There is of course no one single answer to these and the many other critical questions
that should be asked in a society that does so much to generate wealth, at least as
measured by conventional standards, but so little
to distribute that wealth -- or justice -- evenly. But there is one connecting theme
that serves, at least, as a partial answer to many of these questions: concentrated
corporate power.
Each year, to highlight the consequences of corporations and greed run amok,
Multinational Monitor publishes a list of the 10 worst corporations of the year.
Here's this year's list, in alphabetical order:
Avondale: Good riddance For more than half a decade, Avondale, which operates a
shipyard in New Orleans, waged a vicious campaign to block recognition of its
employees' desire for a union -- a desire springing in no small
part from way below industry standard wages and a gruesome workplace casualty record
of a death a year. In August, Avondale was acquired by Litton, which agreed to
recognize the workers' union in November. Citigroup: The
standard in political corruption Citigroup played the lead role in ushering the
"Financial Services Modernization Act" through the U.S. Congress, in the process
joining with the rest of the financial services industry to
set a new standard in legalized bribery. The Act will tear down the regulatory walls
between banks, and insurance companies and securities firms, paving the massive
concentration of financial wealth and a future of indus
try bailouts, weakening the Community Reinvestment Act and permitting huge intrusions
on consumer privacy. Del Monte: Banana imperialism into the twenty-first century In
September, Bandegua, the Guatemalan subsidiary of C
oral Gables, Florida-based Fresh Del Monte Produce (now a separate company from
California-based Del Monte Foods), dismissed 900 of its banana workers. When other
unionized Bandegua workers tried to organize a solidarity
protest, the union leadership was met with a 200-person, armed goon squad which chased
the leadership out of town, threatening to kill them if they returned. Del Monte and
Bandegua deny responsibility, but they have certa
inly benefited from the threats. Guardian Postacute: Maggots everywhere After learning
that of Guardian Postacute Services Inc., a San Francisco Bay area nursing home chain,
had permitted dirty feeding tubes to be install
ed into patients who then became infested with maggots, had permitted patients to lie
for extended periods in their urine and feces, and had failed to take strong action
against an employee who sexually abused patients, S
anta Clara County Deputy District Attorney Randy Hey has filed criminal charges
against Guardian. Hoffman La Roche: Take the market, pay the fine Earlier this year,

Greetings. In my recent special report, "IDs in Color Copies" (http://www.vortex.com/privacy/priv.08.18), I related Xerox's confirmation of "invisible" IDs embedded repeatedly in the background "noise" of xerographic color copies and prints, from both Xerox-produced machines and those of other manufacturers. Included ostensibly as an anti-counterfeiting measure, these are produced through "steganographic" (hiding in plain sight) encoding techniques. This technology appears to be similar in a broad sense to (but clearly not identical with), Xerox's commercial "DataGlyphs" encoding system (see Xerox's material regarding DataGlyphs at: http://www.xerox.com/xsis/dataglph.htm). Response to my report has been very strong, mostly from people who were unaware of the existence of these copier IDs. At least one person continued to doubt that the IDs were real--sometimes it's difficult to prove an "urban legend" as actually true! In my report, I speculated about the eventual implementation of such ID tracking systems within inexpensive consumer copying and printing equipment. Readers who might have doubted the likelihood of that eventuality may be interested in: http://www.bep.treas.gov/countdeterrent.htm which is a U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing "Request for Proposals" regarding (among other things) implementation of tracing systems for devices such as inexpensive and ubiquitous inkjet printers, to encode system identification in any output.

Instead of just asking Congress not to enact more GUN LAWS, point out that the Federal Government is run by a minority of people who are operating the government as if it were a third world thugrocracy using GUN LAWS. Ruby Ridge was just such a case that NRA gave wide publicity to. However NRA has not chosen to publicize Waco. Please read all of the stories below. That by Mr. Knox says "NO ONE HAD REMEMBERED TO BRING THE SEARCH WARRANT". The story by Vin Suprynowicz says they shot Davidians trying to go into Mount Carmel who had nothing to do with the raid. The "60 Minutes II" segment on January 26, 2000 hosted by Dan Rather said their expert says FBI fired into the Davidian Compound.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Neal Knox) Dallas Morning News Reporter Lee Hancock has three major stories detailing internal FBI and Justice Department criticisms of the Branch Davidian assault, which were omitted from the Justice Department's public report. Key negotiators (other than Byron Sage) and various behavioral and religious experts criticized field commander Jeff Jamar and the Hostage Rescue Team for torpedoing negotiations -- such as by sending in tanks to destroy the Davidians' cars on the morning that 20 people had been expected to come out. Former FBI Director Bill Sessions, a Waco native who had been forbidden by the Clinton Administration to go to Texas to try to resolve the standoff, had ordered that tanks not be used without his permission -- which he never gave. The documents show that Jamar and the HRT were determined to punish everyone in the compound for killing five BATF agents when the agency mounted a commando attack, supposedly to search for illegal firearms -- though NO ONE HAD REMEMBERED TO BRING THE SEARCH WARRANT.

Throughout their 51-day Texas standoff in the spring of 1993, Koresh and his followers repeatedly compared their plight to that of God's people facing the "flaming chariots" of Babylon in the biblical prophesies of Nahum and Habakkuk. A follower says Koresh believed he would be the one to "bring down Babylon" by sacrificing himself and his denomination. Will it turn out that -- like an earlier group of Texas martyrs who died buying time for Sam Houston at the Alamo -- the Branch Davidians still retain the power to reach out from the grave and smite their oppressors?

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (Wireless Flash) -- The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming! That's according to conspiracy theorist Nancy Luft, who claims to have uncovered a secret Russian plot to destroy the United States within three years. The plot involves Russian satellite technology which has been in use for thousands -- yes, thousands -- of years. According to Luft, the Russians used their satellites to brainwash Jesus Christ and other ancient leaders into leaving Russia alone so they could construct more satellites. These days the Russians are using their satellites to brainwash Americans in preparation for a nuclear attack by the end of 2003. Luft claims the only way to avoid the attack is to agree to a treaty with the Russians, but she seriously doubts U.S. leaders will allow that to happen. = 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. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Thai hackers claim responsibility (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Thai hackers claim responsibility Hong Kong Blondes satellite group says it made cyber-attacks By Anthony LoBaido © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com CHAING RAI, Thailand -- A computer hacking group modeled after the legendary "Hong Kong Blondes" now claims -- after its December warning in WorldNetDaily that it intended to hack CNN and other major Western websites via "Denial of Service" methods -- that it is responsible for the recent attacks on CNN.com, Buy.com, eBay, Yahoo!, Amazon.com and other major sites. In "The Beijing hack attack," a WorldNetDaily exclusive report on the Chinese group founded by super-hacker Blondie Wong, WND reported that a new satellite group identifying with the "Blondes" had sprung up in Thailand. The report noted that the anti-communist hacking group promised to target not only Communist China, but also top Western corporations, including CNN. The stated purpose of this consortium of hackers: to stop the government of Communist China from persecuting its own citizens, and to protest against Western transnational corporations that do business with China. While many groups have claimed responsibility for the high profile cyber-attacks and the claims of the Thai hackers may be far-fetched, recent events make the claims of these Far East hackers seem a little less far out. Last Wednesday the wire services reported that a hack attack originating in Mainland China attempted to steal thousands of credit card numbers from RealNames, a California-based Web business. Although the attack was dissimilar to the attacks on CNN.com, Yahoo! and eBay, that attack was more destructive as it gained access to personal data. RealNames stated that over 60,000 of its addresses had been re-routed to a China-based website. A spokesman for the company said the intruders didn't actually steal anything, but, "Our best guess is that this was done by a traditional hacker, whose goal is not to steal, but to prove that he has the ability to steal." The Thailand satellite hackers group, which has taken the name of "The Julie Holden Drool Brigade" -- a youngish tribute to their mentor Tracey Kinchen, a former MI5 agent with British Intelligence who is also a dead ringer for actress Julie Holden -- recently met with WorldNetDaily in the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai to spell out their reasons for taking part in the attacks. "We hacked RealNames looking for credit card numbers of international bigwigs," said Maxi Coke, a Thai female hacker based in Bangkok. "It's just like we told WorldNetDaily. This is real. We are not going away. We said we would go after Ted Turner, this was before the merger between AOL and Time Warner, and we did take down CNN. The globalist elites have to get the message. We will never, never ever stop fighting them. Our movement will not be co-opted. Red China and all the Western corporations should beware." "People will say we need anger management training, or that we need government-sponsored websites designed just so we can hack them for fun, but we're really serious," said Minny Jet, another Thai female hacker who lives in Chiang Mai. Maxi Coke said that fellow hackers in Mainland China and Germany assisted in the attack. "We launched the attack from inside the FBI's own computers. We called it the 'Janet Reno Dance Party.' We didn't want her to have to go too far to find the source of the attack. When she looks too hard, peaceful law abiding citizens tend to get burned up from time to time -- like in Waco, Texas." Like other groups claiming responsibility for the high-profile attacks, the "Julie Holden" hacking group has spelled out its demands for ceasing its attacks on the World Wide Web. First, Western governments and multinational corporations must stop trading with Communist China. Second, Nuremberg-style trials of the United Nations for "crimes against humanity," referring to its promotion of abortion, which must be commenced before the end of the year 2000. Third, the laundering of all the drug money in the world must be uncovered and examined before the public. "Trade, drugs and abortion -- these are the main evils in the world," said Mini Jet. "The elites are a selfish, self-anointed group of snobs. The Chinese, Russians, U.N, Western corporations, they all are raping the planet with impunity." "Since they are what I would call 'evil,' and their view of the world and mankind's nature is all wrong -- they can only lead us all into a future of anarchy and destruction," said Mini Jet. "Forced abortion, sterilization, organ harvesting, the rape of Tibet. These things are evil. Why is the European Union calling Joerg Haider of Austria a Nazi? He's done nothing wrong. Yet the EU embraces the Nazi atrocities of China. They are such hypocrites!" The Thailand-based group pledged more attacks in the future, though they refused to specify targets, means or cooperating groups, if any. Members did state

He made some good points regarding differences between his more fiscally-responsible tax plan which actually pays down the National Debt (as opposed to the Social Security Debt in Bush's plan), his more substantial and meaningful campaign reform, and his, total commitment to a moratorium on the Internet Tax. Bush looked better than before, which is not saying much, but he waffeled on the main issues above (like a traditional polititian), and more importently perhaps, he can't even pronounce nuclear (he says, 'nucular', as in "I am in charge of the 'nucular weapons'). Did Bush go to school in Texas? Or Washington, DC? Either way, he has a problem, or perhaps several, which may include some inherited inbred (blueblood) genes, and the speech and communication challenges of his CIA dad. Not to mention the 'other genes'. But I say too much. On that note, Keyes talked too much, and regardless, so what? He has no chance of winning the nomination based on the polls and the fact that he tries to position himself slightly to the left of Pat Buchanan. Many Democrats and Independents strongly support McCain, including many votors here in California where an unprecedented number of Democrats and Independents have registered as Republicans in order to vote for McCain delegates. I have been amazed talking to a few 'liberals' who support McCain and have been surprised at the level of awareness of the shenanigans of the 'Bush Clan'.

[CTRL] Clinton says US seeking partnership with Iran (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Source: AFP - Agence France Presse Feb 14 16:52 WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (AFP) - US President Bill Clinton said Monday the United States was seeking a "constructive partnership" with Iran and that he was following with interest the election campaign there. "I think that, you know, one of the best things we could do for the long term peace and health of the Middle East and, indeed, much of the rest of the world, is to have a constructive partnership with Iran," he said in an online interview broadcast on CNN. "And I'm still hoping that that can materialize." He said Washington was watching with interest as Iranians prepare to vote in parliamentary elections on Friday. He said he hoped reformers would not be hurt by their desire to open dialogue with Washington. "I think it's important that the genuine reformers there not be in effect weakened because of their willingness to at least talk to us," he said. "Because I think the United States should always remain open to a constructive dialogue with people of good will." Iran and the United States broke off diplomatic relations after the 1979 hostage-taking at the US embassy in Tehran. The United States still imposes a unilateral embargo on Iran, which it accuses of backing international terrorism. Nevertheless, the Clinton administration has made repeated overtures to Iran in recent months for improved ties, all of which have been rebuffed. Clinton reiterated that Washington had part of the blame to share in the deterioration of bilateral relations. The United States was not "entirely blameless in the past in our relationships with Iran," he said, but stressed that Washington "did not condone anyone who would support terrorist actions; and that we had some ... difficulties with Iran." "But we were viewing with interest affairs within Iran. We want the Iranian people to have a good democracy. We'd like to see these elections. And we want to be supportive of better relationships, if we can work them out in ways that are mutually agreeable," he said. "A lot of that is now in the hands of the Iranian people and their elections and also with the leaders of Iran. Some of them don't want that, but I think some of them may want that." = 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. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 17:40:19 -0700 From: "Howard H. Bleicher, D.D.S." [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: 2 million Americans Behind Bars February 15th's criminal milestone: 2 million Americans are behind bars WASHINGTON, DC -- Tuesday, February 15 is a day that will live in incarceration infamy -- because it's the day America will lock its two-millionth citizen behind bars. And that's no cause for celebration, the Libertarian Party said today. "These 2 million prisoners do not mark a victory for law enforcement, but, all too often, mark a defeat for safety, justice, and liberty," said David Bergland, the party's national chairman. "Too many of these 2 million prisoners are behind bars for crimes that should not be crimes, and are serving sentences that no civilized nation should impose." According to an estimate by the Justice Policy Institute, the number of Americans serving time in federal and state prisons and local jails will surpass 2 million on February 15. To understand the unprecedented magnitude of that number, a few facts should be kept in mind, said Bergland: * In 1970, fewer than 200,000 Americans were behind bars. By contrast, in the 1990s alone, 840,000 Americans were sent to prison. * America has more prisoners in one state (California) than do the nations of France, Great Britain, Japan, Germany, Holland, and Singapore -- combined. * Over the past two decades, one new jail or prison has been built in America every week. * Violent crime has dropped by 21% since 1993 -- but the number of Americans being incarcerated has grown by 5%-6% each year since then. * Less than a third of the people sentenced to jail each year have been convicted of a violent crime, and at least 400,000 inmates are serving time for non-violent drug offenses alone. * By one estimate, as many as 750,000 people are in jail for victimless crimes -- like gambling, violating censorship laws, not wearing a seatbelt, or consensual sex. * The cost of keeping 2 million prisoners behind bars is $40 billion a year -- or about $20,000 for every man, woman, and teenager serving time. * 30% of all African-American males will be sent to prison at some point during their lives. A major reason for this: While only 15% of all drug users are black, 74% of the people in prison for drug crimes are black, according to government statistics. "When you add up all these numbers, you see a criminal justice system that is better at producing criminals than justice," said Bergland. "And you see a nation that has too many laws that are too selectively enforced; a criminal justice system that wastes too many resources on victimless crimes; and a prison-industrial complex that has become America's most tragic growth industry." What's to be done? "Americans can use February 15th's grim milestone to mourn a criminal justice system gone hopelessly haywire -- or use it to mark a turning point toward genuine justice," said Bergland. "As a first step toward a solution, we should immediately pardon anyone convicted of any victimless crime; begin to repeal laws that criminalize peaceful, consensual behavior; focus law enforcement resources on protecting decent people against violent, predatory criminals; and start examining alternatives to prison, like victim restitution. "Such a Libertarian policy would keep Americans more safe from violent criminals," he said. "It would help us change from a nation that forces 2 million people to serve time in prison -- and into a nation where 270 million people can live in liberty, justice, and safety." = 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. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] White House Intimidates Reporters (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Chattanooga Times / Chattanooga Free Press February 6, 2000, Sunday White House Intimidates Reporters By: REED IRVINE A few months ago, Bill O'Reilly, who has a popular show on the Fox News Channel called "The O'Reilly Factor," was asked why he had never discussed the controversy about the death of former White House Deputy Counsel Vincent W. Foster Jr. He said that if he contradicted "60 Minutes" and said on his show "that Vincent Foster didn't commit suicide, then right away 75 percent of the American people put me in a category where I don't want to be." A January Zogby America poll shows that O'Reilly is dead wrong about that. It found that only 25 percent of the respondents believe that Foster committed suicide. One third don't believe it and 42 percent are not sure if he did or didn't. The poll also found that 56 percent say that the media should insist that Kenneth Starr, who claims that his report on Foster answered all the questions about his death, should answer the many questions that are still unanswered. Only 27 percent said reporters should not insist that Starr answer those questions. This clearly indicates that Bill O'Reilly or the hosts of other TV shows need not fear being labeled lunatics by the public if they discuss the evidence that refutes the official line on Vince Foster's death. What they have to fear is not the public. It's the White House and its friends in the media. O'Reilly brought that up, saying that the government is now much more powerful than the journalists. He said, "They have people in The New Yorker magazine, in Talk magazine, in the Times, in the Post, in the L.A. Times. Theyve got people that can pick up the phone and say, "You know, you ought to get this guy. He's bad, and look what we got on him.' And they'll get him." This is a chilling picture of the power of the White House to dictate what stories get reported and what don't. Could this explain why Newsweek sacrificed a big scoop by its star investigative reporter, Michael Isikoff, two years ago? Isikoff had the Monica Lewinsky story ready to go. His editors got cold feet and delayed it. The result was that Matt Drudge broke the story on the Internet, and Newsweek was scooped by Drudge and the daily newspapers. Iskikoff was at Newsweek because he had undergone a similar experience at The Washington Post in 1994, when his editors refused to run a story he had written which gave credibility to the charges by Paula Jones that Bill Clinton had tried unsuccessfully to get her to do what Monica did willingly. Newsweek was scooped again just recently when Richard Smith, its editor and chairman, spiked a story that was slated to run in its Jan. 24 issue. The story was about charges that Vice President Al Gore had lied in 1987, when he told reporters who were questioning him about his use of marijuana that his pot smoking had been "rare and infrequent." Bill Turque, a reporter in Newsweek's Washington bureau, has written a biography of Gore that includes information he dug up claiming that until Gore declared his intention to run for Congress in 1976, he had been a heavy user of marijuana for six years. The information came from John Warnecke, a reporter who worked with Gore on the Nashville Tennessean and claimed to have supplied Gore with marijuana, free of charge, and smoked it with him regularly. Newsweek had run one excerpt from Turque's book, and the excerpt slated for the Jan. 24 issue included the information about Gore's drug use that Turque got from Warnecke and had confirmed by other sources. Houghton-Miflin, the publisher of Turque's book, announced that it was delaying publication of the book until March 23. The New York Times reported that Newsweek was postponing its publication of the controversial excerpt until around the time of the book's publication, in effect until after the presidential primaries are over. It doesn't take a cynic to suggest that both actions probably reflect White House pressure. Warnecke says his conscience has been bothering him ever since 1987 when he claims he lied to reporters under pressure by Gore not to reveal his drug use. Disappointed by Newsweek's spiking the story, Warnecke gave it to a pro-drug web site on the Internet, where Matt Drudge found it and again embarrassed Newsweek by scooping them and exposing what clearly appears to be kowtowing to the White House. But it isn't just Newsweek. A year ago, while Clinton's impeachment was pending before the Senate, NBC News President Andrew Lack kept an exclusive interview with Clinton rape-victim Juanita Broaddrick off the air, giving the scoop to The Wall Street Journal. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tuesday February 15 12:10 PM ET White House Hid Scandal-Related E-Mails-Report WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House hid thousands of e-mails containing information on various scandals involving President Clinton, the Washington Times reported on Tuesday. The Times quoted former White House computer operations chief Sheryl Hall as saying administration officials covered up the fact that electronic messages from August 1996 to November 1998 had not been surrendered, as required by law, deciding instead to label them as ``classified'' documents. The e-mails contained information on scandals involving White House possession of background files on former members of Republican administrations; campaign finance abuses; and Monica Lewinsky, among others issues, the Times said. It said the e-mails had been under subpoena by a federal grand jury and three congressional committees. Asked about the report, White House spokesman Joe Lockhart dismissed it, saying it was similar to what the Times' sister publication Insight magazine reported in 1998. ``We have always made a good-faith effort to cooperate with information and records requests, and as far as I know there are no outstanding disputes on any records right now,'' Lockhart said. = 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. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

But CBS also gave a nice plug for a new edition. 3) Friday night ABC castigated Bush and McCain for not denounc ing the Confederate flag, CBS celebrated the role of independents in hurting the parties, NBC promoted the cause of a group pushing the GOP to the left. 4) Newsweek's Evan Thomas submitted that the media may never turn on McCain. Friday's GMA focused again on the supposed "push poll" and Jack Ford mildly pressed McCain for proof before joking with him about a food fight between McCain staff and reporters. 5) After Al Gore told Jay Leno that Bill Clinton "is my friend, we're close friends," actor Jimmy Smits praised Gore. Actor Walter Matthau hailed Bill Bradley, saying he "reminds me" of Lincoln. 6) CBS: Clueless Bob Schieffer. He doesn't comprehend a basic argument Bush has made against campaign finance reform and he found it surprising comparing your opponent to Bill Clinton is considered negative. 7) Linda Tripp now works in the same building as a left-wing feminist group which has protected Bill Clinton. The latest Media Reality Check fax report is now online. "Rather's Anchorman Amnesia Over Hillary: Much Like Tom Brokaw's Amnesia With Gore, CBS Anchor Cites Hillary Gaffes He Hasn't Aired." The MRC's Tim Graham began the report: "Call it anchorman amnesia.

For a rundown of examples of what network anchors never reported, go to: http://www.mediaresearch.org/news/reality/2000/Fax2211.html "Media Love McCain," a piece by the MRC's Director of Media Analysis, Tim Graham, appears in the February 19 World magazine. Graham writes: "A dramatic win can lead to dramatic coverage, but the media's recent pedal-to-the-metal promotion is just the latest swoon in a long-brewing love affair between Mr. McCain and reporters." You can read the article online, just go to: http://www.worldmag.com/world/issue/02-19-99/cover_2.asp 1) We'll start today with a bunch of interesting items picked up from shows aired over the weekend: Eleanor Clift suggested that maybe the anti-McCain push poll tale isn't so solid; NBC's Tim Russert hit George Bush with how his Bob Jones University host once called his father the "devil" and Reagan a "traitor"; Dracula-like interviewing on NBC Nightly News and communism as the "good old days" in China. -- Eleanor Clift more discerning than network reporters? As detailed in the February 11 CyberAlert, on Thursday night all the networks highlighted a woman in South Carolina complaining about an anti-McCain "push poll" her 14-year-old son supposedly received. On the McLaughlin Group over the weekend, run from Friday night through Sunday depending on where you live, Newsweek's Clift submitted: "I'd like to point out that this was one phone call. If this was a pattern that was going on wouldn't other people be stepping up and making the same claim? That hasn't happened." -- Leave it to NBC's Tim Russert to come up with the most novel question to really get a guest. He flew down to Austin to interview George Bush for the entirety of Sunday's Meet the Press. As you would expect from Russert, he pressed Bush about the size of his tax cut and how much of the surplus he would allocate to Social Security. He soon asserted that "a lot of eyebrows were raised when you made an appearance at Bob Jones University" and asked Bush about the school's racist dating policy and anti-Catholic and anti- Mormon bigotry. But, over video of Bush at the school on February 2, he also hit Bush with this revelation: "Let me show you a picture of Governor George W. Bush, the gentleman there to your right, on the left of the screen, is Bob Jones III. Let me show you what he said about your Dad, which I think is rather chilling and I'll put this on the screen for you and our viewers." Russert then read a quote from the March 2, 1982 Washington Post: "I believe that Mr. Reagan came to office with good intentions, but he broke his promise to us when he took on Mr. George Bush, a devil, for his Vice PresidentMr. Reagan has become a traitor to God's people."

[CTRL] Fund-raising trial gets under way (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2000 20:57:54 -0600 Subject: Fund-raising trial gets under way Fund-raising trial gets under way WASHINGTON (AP) - The Jusice Department, kicking of trial against a former fund-raiser, says Maria Hsia concealed the source of more than $100,000 in illegal donations. Hsia's lawyer, meanwhile argues that the Los Angeles immigration consultant is the victim of ''a smear job'' by federal prosecutors. ''The system breaks down'' because of people like Hsia, who ''time and time again engaged in these schemes'' in the 1996 election campaign, prosecutor Eric Yaffe told the U.S. District Court jury in opening statements on Monday. In becoming ''a major player in the Democratic Party,'' Yaffe said, Hsia tapped well-to-do business acquaintances secretly to reimburse straw donors and conduits for cash who were falsely listed in federal election records as contributors. Hsia faces five felony counts of causing various Democratic campaign treasurers unwittingly to file false reports with the Federal Election Commission. Two charges deal with a 1995 Clinton-Gore fund-raiser in California, two revolve around Democratic fund-raisers in Washington and at a Buddhist temple in California, and the fifth deals with a fund-raiser at the same temple for Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I. Picture: 0208gore225.JPG (10700 bytes) Vice President Al Gore poses with unidentified Buddhist nuns at the Hsi Lai Temple outside Los Angeles in this copy of a March 1997 photo shown during a Senate Governmental Affairs Committee hearing. Buddhist nuns acknowledged during testimony that their temple illegally reimbursed donors after a fund-raiser attended by Gore and later destroyed or altered records to avoid embarassment. (AP). Defense lawyer Nancy Luque said Hsia is a community activist who wanted Asian-Americans to become part of the political process. ''Maria didn't ask any person who made a contribution ... where they got money,'' said Luque. ''So don't ask, don't tell. ''The prosecutors want you to believe that her asking for contributions caused someone six steps removed to lie,'' but ''Maria Hsia is not responsible for what other people do,'' said Luque. ''Maria Hsia never lied.'' Hsia and former Democratic fundraiser John Huang helped arrange an April 29, 1996, luncheon at the Hsi Lai Temple near Los Angeles, which Vice President Gore attended but said he did not know was for fundraising. The visit, widely depicted in photographs showing Gore among monks and nuns in saffron-colored robes, has come to epitomize the 1996 fundraising scandal. The event raised $140,000, of which $65,000 was determined to be illegal contributions, according to a February 1998 indictment. The temple reimbursed its nuns and monks for their contributions. As a tax-exempt religious organization, the temple is barred by law from making political contributions. Yaffe said that for a fund-raiser at a Buddhist Temple in California attended by Vice President Gore, Hsia handed an envelope with $100,000 in checks to Democratic Party fund-raiser John Huang, who will testify against Hsia. The temple treasury was the source of many of the contributions, although election records falsely listed individual people as the donors, said Yaffe. Yaffe said the temple reimbursed Hsia for some of her own political contributions. Luque denied that, saying that Hsia was simply being paid for immigration-related work she did for the temple. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman dismissed the heart of the prosecution's case in 1998, saying they used ''Alice-in-Wonderland'' logic to claim she was to blame for false campaign filings. An appeals court reinstated the charges. That court said, ''It is not entirely clear what defects the district court found in the government's theory.'' The Supreme Court cleared the way for the trial last month by refusing to hear Hsia's appeal. As the Justice Department battled in court last year to bring the February 1998 indictment to trial, two Buddhist nuns who prosecutors regarded as crucial to their case left the country to spend time with their religious order in Taiwan. Bench warrants have been issued for their arrest. In recent court papers, prosecutors said that one of the missing nuns ''would typically receive a telephone call from defendant Hsia to obtain political contributions, and ... on occasion, ... would provide the conduit checks to defendant Hsia.'' The two missing nuns ''destroyed documents once the temple's activities were discovered,'' the department said. == This mailing list is for discussion of Clinton Administration Scandals.

[CTRL] Forbes: Telephone Pioneer
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- An excerpt from: Forbes: Telephone Pioneer Arthur S. Pier©1953 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Dodd, Mead Company New York LCCN 53-9607 232 pps. First Edition - Will Forbes, son of John Murray Forbes, patner in Rusell Company. Related to Perkins and bunch. Opium/China trade money first went to RR and steel rails and then telephone and copper wire. Notice secret society activity at Harvard. Om K - 10 A RICH MAN at the age of thirty-eight and junior partner in a house that controlled an expanding empire of western lands and railroads, Forbes was dissatisfied. To float comfortably through life on a wave of prosperity that had not been set in motion by his own efforts was hardly an alluring prospect for one of his temperament. His impulse to create and ability to lead demanded expression; they were curbed by his father's wise, benevolent, but autocratic rule. Familiar with the progress that Bell and Hubbard and Sanders had made in promoting the commercial possibilities of the telephone and with the difficulties besetting them, he joined the group of Boston capitalists who in January, 1879, organized the National Bell Telephone Company, and was elected a director. In return for the financial support which the new directors contributed, the inventor and his two valiant sponsors who could no longer carry on the fight against hostile interests alone willingly surrendered control of the enterprise to them. A letter written by Bell to his wife from Milton Hill on January 24, 1879, gives his impressions of the man on whose judicious conduct of the business his prosperity and success were soon to hang: "My darling May: I have come here tonight as the guest of Mr. Forbes, one of the new Directors, a wealthy man of great influence and who has a reputation of thorough integrity. I have come here to make his acquaintance and study him as well as I can, for I have been much struck with his appearance and manner. You know how much struck I was with the appearance of Mr. Morgan of London, your grandfather's friend.[*] He seemed to have stamped upon his features the words 'Integrity, Firmness, Good Sense and Experience.' Well, I have never met a man who reminded me so strongly of Mr. Morgan's cast of head and inspired in me so much confidence as this Mr. Forbes. To be sure, there is not the remotest likeness to Mr. Morgan, but the same character seems to be expressed in his countenance. I judge a great deal from appearances. I like and dislike, I trust and distrust people without the remotest reason very often. I have a sort of instinctive feeling that sways me unconsciously, and I was conscious of a sort of sigh of relief when I found Mr. Forbes's head among those on the Board of Directors. . . . Taking my impressions of all the men gathered together to consider the condition of the Company, I think we have reason to be thankful that we have such a good set. . . . But the only man who impresses me as possessing marked ability is this Mr. Forbes." [* Junius S. Morgan, father of J. Pierpont Morgan and founder of the Morgan bank. Mrs. Bell's maternal grandfather was Robert McCurdy, one of the founders of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York.] About a month later, as shown in a letter written to Mrs. Bell from Boston on February 21, the inventor was assailed by misgivings. "I did not like some hints let fall by Mr. Forbes as to the advisability of compromising with Western Union. I intend to make a point of this on Monday-that Mr. Hubbard's retention as President is my guarantee that no arrangement will be made with Western Union until my reputation has been cleared. I intend to say a good word for Sanders on Monday and to propose Mr. Hubbard as President and Sanders and Forbes as VicePresidents." Bell's bitterness against the Western Union Company, which was controlled by the Vanderbilts, was natural. Three years earlier he and Hubbard and Sanders, less confident of the future of the telephone than they subsequently became, had offered their property and patents to the Western Union Company for $100,000. To their great good fortune their offer was declined. The Western Union, through its subsidiaries, the Gold and Stock Company and the American Speaking Telephone Company, acquired the telephonic patents of Thomas A. Edison, Elisha Gray, and Amos E. Dolbear, and not only entered into active competition with the Bell Company, but also tried to discredit the inventor's claims. Hubbard engaged two distinguished Boston lawyers, Chauncey Smith and James J. Storrow, to defend Bell's claims. Facing prolonged and costly litigation and needing funds beyond their resources to expand their business, the three original owners had enlisted the support of the local capitalists. Nevertheless as far as financial strength was concerned, it was still David pitting himself against Goliath. At the meeting of the National Bell Telephone directors on March 11, 1879,

[CTRL] THE ROTHSCHILDS AND THE NAZI POPE
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- http://users2.50megs.com/mysite/history/nazipope.html David Icke's Telling the Truth Archives Conspiracies, CoverUps, Truths, Facts, Oddities, Research Correct History THE ROTHSCHILDS AND THE "NAZI" POPE By Clifford Shack On the holiest of Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur, in the autumn of 1931, Guy de Rothschild walked through the massive street gate at 19 Rue Laffitte, for the first time as an adult on adult business. The day was chosen carefully, what others might perceive as the beginning of a banking career, to a Rothschild it was entering into a priesthood. At twenty-two, Guy was assigned letters to write. One of his correspondents was a Cardinal Pacelli, future Pope PiusXII, then in charge of Holy office finances, and who kept a small account at MM. de Rothschild Freres. In the book, Hitler's Pope, John Cornwall's chronicles the life of Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII. Pacellli was arguably the most dangerous churchman in modern history. As Pontiff during World War II, not only did he fail to speak out against Hitler's Final Solution, but he personally made the Final Solution possible! In the first decade of the twentieth century, Pacelli was a brilliant Vatican lawyer who helped shape a new ideology of unprecedented papal power. As papal nuncio in Munich and Berlin in the 1920's, he used cunning and moral blackmail to impose Rome's power on Germany. In 1933, he negotiated a treaty with Hitler, the Reich Concordat, which ensured that the Nazis would rise unopposed by the most powerful Catholic community in the world - sealing, by Hitler's own admission, the fate of the Jews in Europe. How could Eugenio Pacelli possibly have gotten away with such cunning, especially since we know that he was in personal contact with the Rothschilds. Guy de Rothschild was his pen pal eight years before he became Pope. But wait... if Pacelli was Hitler's Pope, and Hitler was a Rothschild... then he was Rothschild's Pope! How did Eugenio Pacelli become Rothschild's Pope? Eugenio Pacelli was described routinely, during his pontificate and after his death, as a member of the Black Nobility. The Black Nobility were a small group of aristocratic families of Rome who had stood by the popes following the seizure of their dominions in the bitter struggle for the creation of the nation-state of Italy... Pacelli's father and grandfather before him owed their distinction to membership of the caste of lay Vatican lawyers in the service of the papacy. Pacelli's immediate family association with the Holy See dates from 1819, when his grandfather, Marcantonio Pacelli, arrived in the Eternal City to study canon law, or Church law, as a protoge of a clerical uncle, Monsiignor Prospero Caterini. By 1834 Marcantonio had become an advocate in the Tribunall of the Sacred Rota, an ecclesiastical court involved in such activities as marriage annulments. While raising ten children (his second child being Eugenio's father, Filippo, born in 1837), Marcantonio became a key official in the service of Pius IX, popularly known as Pio Nono. The quick tempered, charismatic, and epileptic Pio Nono (Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti), crowned in 1846, was convinced, as had been his predecessors from time immemorial, that the papal territories forming the midriff of the Italian peninsula ensured the independence of the successors to St. Peter. If the Supreme Pontiff were a mere inhabitant of a "foreign" country, how could he claim to befree of local influence? Three years after his coronation, it looked as if Pio Nono had ignominiously lost his sovereignty over the Eternal City to a republican mob. On November 15, 1849, Count Pelligrino Rossi, a lay government minister of the papal states, famous for his biting sarcasm, approached the Palazzo della Cancellleria in Rome and greeted a sullen waiting crowd with a contemptuous smile. As he was about to enter the building, a man leapt forward and stabbed him fatally in the neck. The next day, the Pope's Quirinal summer palace above the city was sacked, and Pio Nono, disguised in a priest's simple cassock and a pair of large spectacles, fled to the seaside fortress of Gaeta within the safety of the neighboring kingdom of Naples. He took with him Marcantonio Pacelli as his legal and political adviser. From this fastness, Pio Nono hurled denunciations against the "outrageous treason of democracy" and threatened prospective voters with excommunication. Only with the help of French bayonets, and a loan from the Rothschild's, did Pio Nono contrive to return to the Vatican a year later to resume a despised reign over the city of Rome and what was left of the papal territories.

Canola is taking the place of peanut oil in peanut butter and is being blended with olive oil for domestic kitchen use. Canola is a name that recently appeared in the marketplace and is apparently derived from Canadian-oil. Canola oil is actually produced from the rape seed plant. Rape (Brassica napus), a member of the mustard family, is listed in the Encyclopedia Britannica as a poisonous plant with toxic effects which include pulmonary emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability and blindness in cattle. According to John Thomas, author of Young Again: How to Reverse the Aging Process, The name canola disguised the introduction of rape oil to America. Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in Great Britain between 1986 and 1991 at which time its use was discontinued, Thomas wrote. Most people remember the mad cow disease epidemic and that cows, pigs and sheep went blind, behaved insanely, attacked other animals and people and had to be destroyed. Reports at the time blamed the erratic behavior of livestock on a viral disease called scrapie (in sheep and pigs) and mad cow disease in cattle. However, when rape oil was removed from animal feed, 'scrapie' disappeared, Thomas explained. According to Dr. Len Horowitz, author of Emerging Viruses, AIDS and Ebola: Nature, Accident or Intentional, "What is scrapie in sheep, mad cow disease in cattle, wasting disease in wild game animals, whirling disease in fish is Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease in people." English experts told people not to panic if they had been cooking with rape oil when mad cow disease was at its peak in Great Britain, said Thomas. The 'experts' added that the effects of rape oil ingestion takes at least 10 years to manifest. With grain prices down and grass seed growers faced with increasing opposition to their seasonal field burning, beautiful yellow rape fields are contrasting deep green panoramas of what has traditionally been field after field of grasses and grains in the northwest United States. Rape, the most toxic of all food-oil plants that has no natural insectoid predators, is a weed that can grow vigorously in most climates and terrains throughout North America. Rape toxicity The toxic properties of the rape plant are cyanide-containing compounds called isothiocyanates. Thomas explains that cyanide inhibits the production of ATP in our bodies. ATP is the energy molecule that powers the body and keeps us healthy and young. According to Thomas, "...glaucoma is the result of insufficient blood flow due to agglutination (clumping together) of the red blood cells and waste buildup on the cells and intercellular fluids." Thomas believes that ingestion of rape over time may cause glaucoma. Thomas also believes that ingestion of rape over several years causes other vision irregularities such as retinitis. Thomas explains how the clumped red blood cells cannot squeeze through the tiny capillaries in the posterior of the eye and, therefore, cannot deliver oxygen to the mitochondria (the rod-shaped bodies in a cell that facilitate the metabolism of fats, sugars and proteins). Rape oil, as metabolized in the body, produces the latex-like substance that causes the agglutination of red blood cells, explained Thomas. In this respect, glaucoma has much in common with hair loss, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and hearing problems. Rape and the central nervous system Rape is an acetlycholinesterase inhibitor. Acetylcholine is critical to the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles. When the normal function of aceytlcholinesterase is compromised, nerve fibers are not able to send the signals properly and muscles will not respond as expected. In the last 20 years we have seen a dramatic increase in muscular disorders such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. Soy and (rape) oils are players in the outbreak of these disease conditions. So are the organophosphates -- insecticides such as malthion -- used in food production in the name of efficiency, commented Thomas. There are many people throughout the country who are convinced that rape oil is poisonous to the human body and that the body digests rape in such a fashion that congests the blood and restricts the flow of lymph fluid which can cause a myriad of

ZIONIST ANTI-SEMITISM
By Les Levidow
Return (London), Dec.1990
Zionism has always purported to be the prime or ultimate protector
of Jews from anti-Semitism. The proposed solution has been mass
emigration to what the Zionist's term Eretz "Israel", ('the Land of
"Israel"'), a term which means possession of the region for the
Jews; this territorial notion corresponds to Biblical myths rather
than to any clear geographical boundaries. The emigration itself
has been termed aliyah ('ascent'). The term originally described
Jews' pilgrimage to Palestine as a duty of Orthodox Judaism.
Zionism appropriated the term for secular-settler purposes:
Through Aliyah, Diaspora Jews regarded as mere 'human dust' elevate
themselves to the status of human beings. As "Israeli" citizens,
the Jews claim their rightful place as 'nation among (European)
nations'. Many critics have shown how advocacy of this solution
has undermined any struggle against anti-Semitism. Some critics
have even shown how Zionist leaders have collaborated with
anti-Semitic persecutors for the sake of that aliyah (as in Nazi
Germany), or for the sake of "Israel's" arms sales (as during the
Argentinean junta). This essay takes the argument further, to the
cultural field, by arguing that the Zionist mission involved
suppressing or denying all Jewish identities other than the 'New
Jew' who conquers Palestine. In practice, this has meant that:
+ Zionist culture 'assimilated' European anti-Semitism from the
very start;
+ the State of "Israel" eventually extended that discrimination
to Oriental Jews, seen as a Jewish-Arab (or 'Levantine')
threat, within a wider framework of Western colonial racism;
+ the anti-Arab racism endemic to Zionism incorporates aspects
of European anti-Semitism; and
+ Zionist paranoia towards Palestinians expresses internal
anxieties about the disintegration of Jewish identities which
Zionism itself has helped to destroy.
'Assimilating' anti-Semitism as largely or potentially assimilated
Jews, the early Zionists of Western Europe came to doubt the
possibility -- or even desirability -- of their full assimilation,
as they encountered prejudice and barriers. They came to accept
anti-Semitic racial concepts of the Jews as inherently incapable of
integrating into the Western nations as full citizens. This
fatalism was expressed by Doctor Leo Pinsker, with a suitable
medical metaphor, when he declared that 'Judeo-phobia is a disease;
and, as a congenital disease, it is incurable' (in Hertzberg,
1966).
Early Zionists also accepted -- implicitly or explicitly --
prevalent stereotypes of backwards and/or subversive East European
Jews, whose migration to Western Europe (or the USA) they regarded
as a threat to their own hard-won social status. This perceived
threat acted as a motive for affluent Jews in Western Europe to
channel the migration of East European Jews elsewhere. Moreover,
many Zionists perceived their own interests as coinciding with the
domestic interests of Europe's imperial rulers. When Theodor Herzl
lobbied the Tsar's Minister of Interior, who had been responsible
for anti-Semitic pogroms, Herzl argued that Zionism would weaken
the revolutionary movement in Russia. At the same time, Zionists
justified themselves in terms of uplifting the backward East
European Jews. Moses Hess, describing the economic structure of
East European Jewry as 'parasitic', described the future Jewish
state as 'the basis on which European Jewry will be able to climb
out of the dustbins' (quoted in Ralevi, p.153). The alliance which
Zionism sought with European imperialism arose from the cultural
chasm which they perceived between Western and Eastern Jews.
Indeed, locating their solution in a Jewish state based on European
models, Zionist leaders regarded the Eastern European Jews' culture
as an obstacle. David Ben-Gurion referred disparagingly to their
'Diaspora mentality' and 'Jewish cosmopolitanism'.
With the rise of fascism in the 1930s, the term 'cruel Zionism'
described those who justified sacrificing the many -- especially
East European Jews -- for the sake of the few who would establish a
Jewish state. Chaim Weizmann (1937) promoted such a mentality with
his poetic flair: The old ones will pass; they will bear their
fate, or they will not. They were dust, economic and moral dust in
a cruel world... Thus, although Zionism arose in response to
anti-Semitism, it did so by assimilating crucial elements of
anti-Semitism, while appropriating the religious connotations of
'human dust' in racist terms. Zionism defined a secular Jewishness
negatively, in terms of the Jews' eternal persecution by
anti-Semitism, seen as the world's main evil, and eventually
epitomised by the Arabs. Just as

Because you can have it while the OUTER world seems to be going to hell. Well, it doesn't have to be so extreme. Recently we told someone about a couple of very tiring weeks we had had and they said it was so nice we could overcome these "obstacles". We smiled, because we didn't think of them as obstacles. It was simply life, a bit more demanding and tiring than usual, and sometimes we got crabby, but "inside" we always knew that all was well. It's sad that some people believe that once they've "got it", or are of an expanded consciousness, that "bad" things won't happen anymore, that people around them won't die, that they won't lose their jobs, that they won't be angry at anyone, etc. They are looking for a field of bliss that can only exist inside, not in the outer world. All sorts of challenges continue to happen. However, our definition of whether they are "good" or "bad" changes when we realize that they are all part of the ebb and flow of life. It's really how we view them and handle them, rather than whether or not they are in our life that matters. As Shakespeare observed, "There's nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so." The phrase, "In This World But Not of It", comes to mind. This certainly doesn't mean we become cold fish, emotionless and unfeeling. In fact, we usually feel more intensely, are more fully engaged in life, because we know our inner immortal essence. We don't have to keep experiences at arm's length because of fear. It's sort of like being on a roller coaster, we "know" we won't be harmed and so we can yell and scream and truly feel the excitement. We told someone recently we don't get upset by being upset. We just look at these things as experiences. They are our experiences. They are not US. * * * * Helen and Peter Evans are founders of OneCenter and offer on-line individual counseling services and are available for on-site speaking engagements and workshops.

[CTRL] THE ROTHSCHILDS AND THE GENOCIDE IN ARMENIA AND GERMANY
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- http://users2.50megs.com/mysite/history/genocine.html David Icke's Telling the Truth Archives Conspiracies, CoverUps, Truths, Facts, Oddities, Research Correct History THE ROTHSCHILDS AND THE GENOCIDE IN ARMENIA AND GERMANY By Clifford Shack The Armenian and Jewish Holocausts have popularly been regarded as two distinct and unrelated dark episodes of recent history. This appearance weakens with careful and insightful study. May it be here suggested, perhaps for the first time, that they are not only inextricably connected but are indeed two phases of one lengthy operation which spanned close to fifty years, guided by a group of cunning, patient and most powerful planners. The twentieth century has been called the century of oil. Our Age is referred to that of Hydrocarbon Man. Yet this phenomena is barely one hundred years old. It was a hundred years ago that our planet was actually shifting energy sources from coal to oil. In fact it all began in Northwestern Pennsylvania, in a remote little place called Titusville to be exact, where oil was first extracted via drilling yielding the first oil well. The American oil business itself was to be mastered and monopolized by John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company who was to supply the entire world's oil needs from the wells of Pennsylvania. It is here necessary to point out one of the most important aspects of the oil business. Due to the extremely flammable nature of oil it's extraction, refining, and transport must be done under supremely stable conditions, in others words, in an environment of peace and tranquility. Rockefeller was able to become the "richest man in the world" by virtue of an early oil empire nestled in peaceful Pennsylvania. Standard Oil's first bout with serious worldwide competition would come from a region halfway around the world whose stability was far from that of Pennsylvania. An important phenomena and backdrop to understanding foundation of the twin holocausts is to realize that the major oil region of the earth lies within the territory populated by Moslems. Of significant importance are the facts that within the Koran are passages, which teach intolerance towards "infidels" who don't embrace Islam. These passages are responsible for producing many violent and bloody episodes throughout history. In the 1880's, the French branch of the Rothschild family acquired interests in Russia's Baku oil fields in an effort to supply their refinery on the Adriatic with cheap Russian oil. In exchange for these interests they built a railroad linking Baku to the newly acquired Black Sea port of Batum. This opened up the Baku oil, a major world supply, to the world. It had previously been geographically locked in by the mountains of the Caucasus. [The Swedish Nobel family had been supplying internal Russia with the Baku oil by way of rivers as well as via the Caspian Sea]. With the success of the new railroad, the Rothschilds had more oil than they could actually sell. Overcoming their fear of competing with the giant Standard oil, they sought out the huge markets east of Suez. At the recommendation of their shipping broker, they sought out a man to help them penetrate these markets. His name was Marcus Samuel. Samuel had many contacts throughout the Far East. When the Rothschilds proposed to sell their oil to Samuel, understanding the magnitude of the opportunity, and understanding the competition with a foe like Standard oil, he set about tackling the logistics of successfully competing with the giant company. Samuel understood that he needed to sell his oil at a cheaper price. In his efforts to do this he reduced transportation costs by designing bulk tankers which were safe enough to pass through the Suez Canal. Standard 's costs would be much higher as they transported their oil around the tip of Africa in clipper ships that were loaded with pre-filled cans. Marcus Samuel's new and improved bulk tankers would shave 4,000 miles off the trip to the Far East by utilizing the Suez Canal. Previous oil tanker designs failed to meet the stringent safety requirements imposed by the Suez Canal Company. In 1892, Samuel's coup would unleash forces that would shape the history of mankind. His first oil tanker picked up it's load of Baku oil from the Rothschild's Batum refinery and sailed through the Dardenelles and on through the Suez canal to the far east where the Shell oil company became, overnight the predominant supplier of Kerosene replacing Standard oil. The great Standard world monopoly had been busted. The Shell oil company relationship went on to thrive even after Samuel's nine-year contract with the Rothschilds as it

How do you explain the hole in the ceiling of the "bunker"? What I read was that the concentration of CS gas (an illegal war gas) was well beyond toxic levels, expecially considering the toxic and flamable dispersant being used. You must lack understanding of the relationship between women and their babies if you think those women (and babies) would not have come trotting out of that hell on earth UNLESS there was some SERIOUSLLY COMPELLING REASON not to (like being shot at ). What about the front door to the "complex". The front door that would prove whether shots were fired from the outside in, and/or from the inside out?? Where is the door? Bring on the evidence, sir. And did you know about the dead dogs? Do you think the ATF grinned 'em to death? Also allegedly grown men that would moon and give the finger to the "victims" inside are men who in my mind have NO respect for the helpless. Did you see them raise their flag over the "compound" ( like a bunch of kids winning at King of the Mountain) before they bulldozed EVERYTHING along with a huge portion of the physcial evidence (probably including the notorious missing front door)? Forced to admit they lied for six years about the "pyrotechnic" M-651? grenades, they compounded the lie by misdirection. Once a liar, always a liar(lies to cover up the lies notwithstanding). They claim they did not fire a single shot during the entire 51 day stand-off, so what were the bullet casing doing in sniper nest number one? Do you understand the significance of "patterns of practice and behavior"? Did you read what they did at Ruby Ridge? Man, how's it go, "Meenie meenie teekle u pharsum?" Maybe I didn't spell that right but I am hard-pressed to find many more clear-cut cases of the handwriting on the wall. Once a liar always a liar. At this point I really think that if you are interested in justice and the Constitution that you should do a serious re-assessment of your assessments. As for me, the burden of proof should now be off the backs of the dads, the moms, and the tortured, mutilated dead babies and be squarely on the shoulders of federales. Come on Mark, whether the Feds caused or allowed those babies to be tortured is irrelevant. Hostage RESCUE Team? How tragically laughable! They were granted the resources, power and honor of the United States of America, and to say they acquittted themselves with any modicum of decency is magnitudes more ridiculous than anything I have heard come out of Ramsey Clark, and much more an affront to any civilized concept of justice.

So let's get on with it. Those of us who are sickened by what happened at Waco have to be careful to not go off "half cocked." There are a lot of people offering statements and making observations about Waco and that are just off the wall. Too often Waco "information" is picked up and repeated over and over again on various Web sites. So we have a FLIR that purports to show gunfire being directed into Mt. Carmel on April 19th.

Doc has obviously been practicing his aim and is doing lot's of very successful target-shooting lately--(right, Doc?) He sure hit THIS target dead-on, anyway! NewsHawk® Inc. - - - - - - - - Have you noticed that many of the "rest areas" along major ingress and egress points and cross country routes near major towns and cities have been constructed in recent years? The ones in my area are massively built, almost like fortifications. Some of the public restrooms in national parks are similarly constructed, and must have been inordinately expensive. They would be admirably suited to become checkpoints that could easily be defended by a small number of troops. They seem to be laid out so that it would be a simple matter to divert all traffic from the highways and freeways onto the large parking areas for detention and inspection. The buildings have extra space that could be modified as holding rooms. There is always at least one heavy door that is kept locked. One can only guess whether these doors may be concealing entrances to subterranean sections that could contain mess, recreation, and sleeping areas for troops, and perhaps even cells for prisoners. When I was stationed in Germany I noticed similar strategically located buildings along the autobahns and major roadways that were built by the Hitler regime. I believe our government has learned a lot from the Germans, and from the former Communist countries in Eastern Europe. With an active imagination, one can easily visualize how one's hometown and the countryside could change almost overnight When martial law supervenes, it seems likely that these "rest areas" will be used as checkpoints to control the flow of traffic and for checking ID and possession of drugs, concealed weapons, and contraband. For instance, my county abuts on the edge of two large national parks, Yellowstone and Grand Teton. The "mapwild" site on the internet reveals that much of eastern Idaho, and adjoining western Wyoming, and southwestern Montana will be set aside as a large "park," wherein all human habitation will be interdicted. Within this area, there are elk ranches, buffalo herds and huge estates owned by the Rockefellers, Ted Turner, and Bill Gates. Several expensive resorts are being built along the "Heritage Rivers" such as the Snake river and the various tributaries which are part of the great Columbia River watershed, which is now coveted by the Clinton/United Nations plan for the rewilding of large parts of the Western United States. On these sites of future resorts to be enjoyed exclusively by the globalist elites, luxurious hotels and condominiums are being constructed, there will be no farms, ranches, mines, lumbering or habitations. Ordinary people, cattle, horses, and automobiles will be moved out. Grizzly bears, coyotes, wolves, cougars, and vast herds of buffalo, elk, antelope and deer are beginning to become plentiful. Many of the roads going into these wilderness are being closed to limit access. Already, one hears of predators attacking and killing the unwanted livestock, although children and other small game have also been the victims of some of the larger predators. Certainly, it is enthralling to see what can be done to enhance nature conservancy, as long as the peasantry, flatulant cows, and other domestic animals can be prohibited from polluting these areas.

CONTOUR will fly past at least two comets and take higher resolution images than those of Halley. It will also collect and analyze gas and dust to reveal the comet's makeup, greatly improving our knowledge of key characteristics of comet nuclei and providing an assessment of their diversity. CONTOUR also will clear up the many mysteries of how comets evolve as they approach the Sun and their ices begin to evaporate. The CONTOUR spacecraft will fly by each comet at the peak of its activity when it's close to the Sun. During each encounter, the target comet will also be well situated in the night sky for astronomers worldwide to make concurrent observations from the ground. The spacecraft will fly by each comet at a distance of about 60 miles (100 kilometers).

CASE FILE #33:
"J" made the following comments:
...Regarding the first story on that link which Michael Lindemann was
relating, I know that woman personally. Her name is "D". There is MUCH MUCH
MORE TO HER STORY THAN GOOD OLD MICHAEL HINTED AT. That was in the period
before Michael was "turned" by the security services. Truth to tell, much of
the info he had obtained from Bill Hamilton and some of the un-named persons
heavily involved in the investigations of the underground facilities in the
Antelope Valley... You can literally feel the negative energy there in the
Antelope Valley and further east near Ridgecrest where "D" used to live.
China Lake is near Ridgcrest and that place is positively evil. What
Lindemann didn't tell you about "D" was that her family bloodline was
followed by the military. They told her that prior to the development of
verbal communication, humans communicated by telepathy which was possibly
because of a particular hormone secreted in the brain (A good bet that
reptilian geneticist bred this capability right out of most humans). The
gland that secretes this hormone has atrophied in most families except for
"D's"! So the Navy would kidnap her while she was still a young girl and
take her to the underground facility at China Lake and put her through
Trauma Based Programming. Then the next week, the Air Force would kidnap her
and take her to the underground facility beneath George Air Force Base in
Victorville California in the high desert. She said it was a case of the
right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing. Or at least that was
the impression they were trying to give her. (Incidentally, the NEW Federal
Concentration Camp, excuse me Detention Facility has been permanently moved
to a location adjacent to George Air Force Base along the old Air Base Road.
It has recently been moved from its temporary location near Bishop along
highway 395. Friends of mine have driven by it and it's operational. They
say it looks for all the world like a Concentration Camp complete with
barbed wire and guard towers. And there IS a Russian/U.N. Presence in that
region) "D" has been used by the military for remote viewing operations. She
is the real thing. I introduced her to another former military remote viewer
I know and they compared notes on an underground facility where friends of
mine have been taken to. Without knowing anything about what these abductees
described down there, both "D" and the other viewer described numerous
details of the underground facility. I know what the command and control
center looks like. There were military personnel, reptilians and
military/reptilian shapeshifters down there. Years ago, "D" was taken
underground beneath China Lake and shown the genetics lab and holding
facility for all the genetically engineered mutants. She described ghastly
creatures of every size and shape. There were also captive humans down
there. She was taken down there to intimidate her and show her what would
happen if she didn't cooperate. Her own son was murdered by a local "law
enforcement officer", the details and investigation covered up. I lost track
of her. The last I heard she moved out of the high desert. I would love to
meet this gal again... Yes, "D" was the one who witnessed the reptilian
slashing open the chest of the gray. She was then laid on a table and
sexually assaulted by the reptilian.
She hates that particular species of reptilians. They have materialized
inside of her car while she was driving! (the "intermediate" height of some
of these reps are 4-41/2 feet. She's also the one who saw the rep playing
around with her jewelry box.) Lindemann says there was an argument between
the gray crew leader and the reps but my info was that when the reptilian
walked onto the ramp into the ship all of the grays became extremely
frightened and seemed to "stand at attention." I think she likened it to
"the admiral" coming onboard, such was the fear that was elicited amongst
the grays by this reptilian. ("Admiral on the deck!") On another occasion
she was taken to a reptilian underground base (that SAME species again)
beneath Death Valley. She was brought before the "Ancient One" my nickname
for the reptilian chieftain that she met. This entity stood taller than the
others of its species and actually wore an Egyptian headress with a cobra
snake motif on the front!
I saw the sketch she drew. Facsinating. [Note: Could these reptilians be
connected to the 'Gizeh', 'Kamagol', or 'Phoenix' Empire below Egypt that
was reportedly deeply involved with the Bavarians/Nazi's? Incidentally in
regards to Death Valley, in past years the D.V. / Panamint Mt. base was{?},

Sheryl L. Hall, chief of White House computer operations who has since moved to a similar position at the Treasury Department, said administration officials covered up the fact that electronic messages from August 1996 to November 1998 had not been surrendered, as required by law, deciding instead to label them as "classified" documents. She said the cover-up was part of a bid to delay the investigations into 2001. "Contractors working at the White House discovered the glitch showing that 100,000 White House e-mails involving nearly 500 computer users had not been located during the document search," said Mrs. Hall. "When the contractors told the White House about the problem, they were threatened, warned not to discuss it. They were told the documents were classified. "In fact, a White House official told one of the contractors they had a jail cell with his name on it if he discussed the matter," she said. At least 4,000 of the e-mails involved or related to Miss Lewinsky, the former White House intern with whom President Clinton has admitted having a sexual relationship, she said. The veteran computer manager, who left the White House after being demoted for questioning the propriety of the administration's use of a database system for political purposes, has since become a critic of the White House. She has accused first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and nine White House political appointees in a pending lawsuit of job harassment and reprisals for her complaints. The suit has been filed in U.S. District Court in Washington by Judicial Watch, a public interest law firm. In addition to the Lewinsky messages, she said hundreds of other e-mails included references to the White House's receiving secret FBI files on former Reagan and Bush administration officials; information on the selection of corporate executives for overseas trade trips; and messages concerning campaign finance activities in the 1996 election. She said the glitch was first discovered in May 1998, when the contractors traced a programming error on one of four White House servers back to August 1996. The error involved e-mails to and from 464 White House computer users and the problem was not fixed until November 1998. The White House e-mails had been sought under subpoena by a federal grand jury, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee and the House Government Reform Committee. They also were sought by Judicial Watch in separate pending suits involving Filegate and Chinagate. Mrs. Hall, who was assigned to the White House in October 1992 from the Naval Sea Systems Command, said the missing e-mails were discovered when the contractor, Northrop Grumman Corp., found that one of the four White House Lotus Notes e-mail servers handling the mail for about 500 computer users had been mislabeled and that a White House search of electronic messages under the subpoenas was incomplete. She said e-mails from that server were not properly managed for a two-year period - meaning they were not collected by the mainframe computer during the subpoena record search. Mrs. Hall said White House project directors, Mark Lindsay and Laura Crabtree, were told by Northrop Grumman of the glitch but chose not to make the problem public. "There's no doubt they knew the search had not been complete, and the missing records included those involving Miss Lewinsky and other matters of concern," she said. "They could have retrieved the documents, and they should have done it forthrightly." Mr. Lindsay, head of the White House Office of Management and Administration, did not return calls seeking comment. Miss Crabtree, customer support branch chief at the White House who has since moved to the Labor Department, was unavailable for comment. White House spokesman James Kennedy said administration officials made "a good faith effort to respond in a timely fashion to all requests for information" sought under subpoena, but declined to elaborate. "We generally do not discuss the details of particular requests," he said. Mr. Kennedy would not address Mrs. Hall's accusation that 100,000 electronic messages were not turned over, saying he was "not going to get into the specifics of any allegation." Northrup Grumman spokesman Larry Hamilton, who said he was unfamiliar with the White House contract and would check with others at Northrup Grumman to determine what might have happened, did not call back.

Bill Kingsbury recently reported: Stetzer said he discovered more than current overflow. Based on his oscilloscope readings, he found that the current flowing through Quarne's and other nearby farms was not regular alternating current, or AC, which flows 60 times a second or 60 hertz. He says he saw frequency similar to microwaves. Hugh wrote: I would feel better about the certainty of the measurements if he said they were done with a spectrum analyzer. An oscilliscope cannot see microwave frequencies. The response isn't fast enough. snip Here's some info I found... Looks like there's no 'microwaves', but there's somthing strange in these power-lines: All new power meters transmit 10 kHz radio signals over the power-line as "large current spikes", 24 hours per day! This is done on purpose -- it is how the system 'remotely' reads all the power-meters. Now everyone has these radio- frequency, distorted sine wave, "large current spikes" from 3,000 neighbors' power-meters (24 hours per day!) running through (and radiating from!) every AC power conduit, cord, appliance, and light bulb in the building. First, a note on the 10 kHz frequency. You'll read about it again, below this: ~~~ From: Jason Ringas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Org: Rife Research Group of Canada Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2000 I think the most probable reason that the frequencies are "felt" is because the human nervous system is sensitive to frequencies below about 10 kHz. This was found by D'Arsonval, the father of high frequency electrotherapy. The higher frequencies used in the original Rife instruments would naturally be beyond the sensitivity range of the nervous system. ~~~ from: http://www.amrahq.com What is AMR? Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is the remote collection of consumption data from customers' utility meters using telephony, radio frequency, power-line and satellite communications technologies. AMR provides water, gas and electric utility-service companies the opportunity to increase operational efficiency, improve customer service, reduce data-collection costs and quickly gather critical information that provides insight to company decision-makers. ~~~ from: http://www.amrahq.com/resourcelib/unb_plc.htm UNB Power Line Carrier: Meter Reading Is a Communications Issue By Paul Hunt, Chief Technology Officer, Hunt Technologies, Inc. Meter reading is all about communication -- accurately conveying information from thousands of separate locations (the meters) to one location (utilities' office). Automatic meter reading systems are best classified by which technology they use to communicate. Telephone, radio, and power line carrier are the three most popular. In this article, we will focus on power line carrier and how Ultra Narrow Band (UNB) technology is solving problems industries have experienced for years. Metering via power line carrier has a long and somewhat checkered history. High frequency carriers have been used on high voltage power transmission lines quite successfully for relay control and voice messages. High frequencies propagate very nicely on transmission lines because the lines are long, simple and carefully controlled. What About Distribution Lines? Distribution lines, however, can create real challenges for carrier systems. High frequency waves love to bounce off any change in line impedance like branches and taps, transitions between underground and overhead, capacitor banks, even the loads themselves. All those waves bouncing around tend to reinforce in some places and cancel in others. That makes high frequency carrier systems very difficult to predict or control on the ever-changing power lines. To solve the problem, distribution line carrier systems evolved toward lower frequencies. They dropped from the 100 kilohertz range down to the 10 kilohertz range. Ripple carrier systems using frequencies in the 100 Hertz range had wonderful propagation and were used successfully for peak load management for many years. This all made propagation problems more manageable, but they didn't go away. One persistent problem is that as frequencies go lower, the size and cost of the transmitters get larger. As a result, ripple technology has generally been limited to one way messaging where a single large transmitter is installed at a substation and low cost receivers are located downline. That's good for load management but not for reading meters. A variation of ripple is Sequential Waveform Distortion. This is a

From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: Conspiracy Shopping Cart: http://a-albionic.com/shopping.htmlFrom: Ian Goddard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Waco Bomb: WANR Date: Tuesday, February 08, 2000 4:59 AM I recently acquired a copy of the new documentary Waco: A New Revelation (http://Waco-ANewRevelation.com). Even before it was finished it led to a Congressional inquiry into Waco. I could not more strongly recommend this video! The government granted them permission to test the remains of the demolished concrete room for traces of military-explosives residue. Former FBI Special Agent Dr. Frederic Whitehurst, who narrates the video, accompanied them to the site. However, the portion of the room they were looking for was not to be found even after an exhaustive search. WANR interviews military operations and explosives experts who conclude that a shaped-charge bomb blasted through the roof of the concrete room, or church vault. It's a disturbing conclusion that's easy to agree with: http://users.erols.com/igoddard/wacorom2.htm Steven M. Barry, a retired Sergeant First Class from the U.S. Army Special Forces states: "The blast hole at the top of the roof, you can plainly see the rebar is bent in. The damage to the stainless steel refrigerator, which appears to have been under the blast hole, is consistent with a shaped charge. And the blast, being directed downward into the room -- in this inclosed concrete room -- would very likely create some seam rupture and create a huge overpressure inside the room that would pretty much kill everyone in there. Anybody who was under this device when it was blown would have been horribly mangled, probably dismembered, pretty much like being thrown into a grain crusher." As Barry spoke, WANR showed the evidence he refers to. The bodies from the concrete room that were delimbed, decapitated, and hideously mutilated beyond recognition are compelling evidence of a powerful explosion. Colonel Jack Frost, a retired U.S. Air Force Ordnance Engineer concludes: "Having examined still photographs and video- tapes of the bunker it was apparent to me that this was caused by a shaped charge. But what bothers me is who would have the audacity to use such a charge." Sergeant Steve Barry, quoted above, is then shown saying: "Rather than risk your own people going in there and try to shoot it out with them, it's a standard tactic in city fighting in military operations in built-up terrain to use an explosive in this manor [as seen at Waco] to kill people in a targeted room that you're going to attack." Brigadier General Benton K. Partin, a retired U.S. Air Force Ordnance Engineer, then grimly concluded: "It's very obvious that the effort that was demonstrated there assured that there would be no survivors in the church records vault." It's easier to believe it can't be true if only because it's hard to believe anyone could do that to woman and children; but we have a classic shaped-charge-blast-hole in a bombed- out room filled with hideously militated bodies, cracks and seam rupture around the room indicate that a powerful over- pressure filled the room. It's compelling evidence, and it's why experts are telling us the room was bombed.

From: "Mike Ruppert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Mike Ruppert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 14, 2000 10:42 PM To: From The Wilderness Subject:From The Wilderness News Bulletin 00-02 Importance: High MONDAY FEBRUARY 14, 2000 - 2145 PST HOUSE VOL. II FINAL CIA DRUG REPORT COMPLETE ACCORDING TO SOURCES According to reliable sources, including a network news producer who was tipped in advance, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) has completed its final report on Volume II of the CIA Inspector General's allegations of drug trafficking during the Contra War. A classified and closed door session of the committee is scheduled for tomorrow, February 15, to finalize the committee's plans for release of a public version of the report. Since Volume II was released to the public in a declassified version on October 8, 1998, HPSCI has several times attempted to quietly close out its look at the damning CIA report without attracting much attention. After a secret closed door hearing in May 1999, which was mislabeled, HPSCI failed to complete its investigation throughout the summer months. Last October staff members from the Committee traveled to FTW's offices in Los Angeles and copied more than 6,000 pages of our files in order to review them before closing out their investigation. Continuing outcry over Volume II has been over whether or not the House Committee, chaired by former CIA officer Porter J. Goss, (R) Fla., would hold open and public hearings on the CIA report which admits to both direct CIA involvement in protecting and employing known traffickers and in lying to Congress about it. Activists and publications like FTW have been clamoring for open hearings on Volume II in light of stark revelations from the CIA's own records that contract agents working for the CIA and the National Security Council were actively and directly involved in hands-on drug smuggling. HPSCI has apparently learned from earlier mistakes. Open hearings on Volume I of the report, looking strictly at California, backfired on the committee and CIA even though they were held without advance notice and covered only by C-SPAN. The March 15, 1998 hearings, once reported by FTW, guaranteed continued public interest when it was learned that new revelations in the session demonstrated CIA guilt and involvement. The revelations in declassified version of Volume II proved to be near total vindication for journalist Gary Webb, whose landmark 1996 Dark Alliance series for The San Jose Mercury News prompted the investigations initially. CIA documents released with Volume II demonstrated a conspiracy before-the-fact, between CIA and the Department of Justice, to permit and overlook drug trafficking, and have formed the basis for class actions suits filed in both Los Angeles and Oakland. Those suits were initiated after FTW Publisher/Editor Mike Ruppert sought out bay area attorneys Bill Simpich and Katya Komisaruk in February, 1999 with the basic elements of the suit. "What is critical at this moment," said Ruppert who still hopes to testify before the committee, "is that everyone with an interest on this issue reach out to the committee via telephone and make your wishes heard on Tuesday, February 15. Even three and half years after we were promised a speedy investigation, our demands are still the same. We want open and fully publicized hearings, covered in depth by the major media and we want key witnesses like Celerino Castillo of DEA and me and others like us to be allowed to finally tell our stories where the public can hear us. We want the committee to say to the public that they have read the CIA report and that the Agency's conduct was reprehensible. "A closed door hearing and a quietly released sanitized report closing out this horrible, shameful and continuing episode in American history is not acceptable." A final report, possibly authored by ranking Democrat Julian Dixon of California, has been in the works for some time. It is, according to one confidential source, "Not something that Dixon, as a Californian or as an African-American should be proud of." FTW is urging all subscribers to place calls tomorrow to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence at (202)225-7690 and repeat these demands for justice. The Republican Chairman, Porter Goss (202) 225-2536 and the Ranking Democrat, Julian Dixon of California (202) 225-7084 should be contacted at their congressional offices to make your wishes known. FTW does not possess e-mail addresses for the committee and has been unsuccessfully attempting to locate a HPSCI web site. If any of our 600 subscribers come up with one please let us know. They think that we have forgotten. They think we do not care. Let us demonstrate otherwise and make a lasting impression in so doing. END --- ONElist Sponsor FREE ADVICE FROM REAL PEOPLE!

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Thai hackers claim responsibility Hong Kong Blondes satellite group says it made cyber-attacks http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_lobaido_news/2215_xnlob_thai_hacke. shtml By Anthony LoBaido © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com CHAING RAI, Thailand -- A computer hacking group modeled after the legendary "Hong Kong Blondes" now claims -- after its December warning in WorldNetDaily that it intended to hack CNN and other major Western websites via "Denial of Service" methods -- that it is responsible for the recent attacks on CNN.com, Buy.com, eBay, Yahoo!, Amazon.com and other major sites. In "The Beijing hack attack," a WorldNetDaily exclusive report on the Chinese group founded by super-hacker Blondie Wong, WND reported that a new satellite group identifying with the "Blondes" had sprung up in Thailand. The report noted that the anti-communist hacking group promised to target not only Communist China, but also top Western corporations, including CNN. The stated purpose of this consortium of hackers: to stop the government of Communist China from persecuting its own citizens, and to protest against Western transnational corporations that do business with China. While many groups have claimed responsibility for the high profile cyber-attacks and the claims of the Thai hackers may be far-fetched, recent events make the claims of these Far East hackers seem a little less far out. Last Wednesday the wire services reported that a hack attack originating in Mainland China attempted to steal thousands of credit card numbers from RealNames, a California-based Web business. Although the attack was dissimilar to the attacks on CNN.com, Yahoo! and eBay, that attack was more destructive as it gained access to personal data. RealNames stated that over 60,000 of its addresses had been re-routed to a China-based website. A spokesman for the company said the intruders didn't actually steal anything, but, "Our best guess is that this was done by a traditional hacker, whose goal is not to steal, but to prove that he has the ability to steal." The Thailand satellite hackers group, which has taken the name of "The Julie Holden Drool Brigade" -- a youngish tribute to their mentor Tracey Kinchen, a former MI5 agent with British Intelligence who is also a dead ringer for actress Julie Holden -- recently met with WorldNetDaily in the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai to spell out their reasons for taking part in the attacks. "We hacked RealNames looking for credit card numbers of international bigwigs," said Maxi Coke, a Thai female hacker based in Bangkok. "It's just like we told WorldNetDaily. This is real. We are not going away. We said we would go after Ted Turner, this was before the merger between AOL and Time Warner, and we did take down CNN. The globalist elites have to get the message. We will never, never ever stop fighting them. Our movement will not be co-opted. Red China and all the Western corporations should beware." "People will say we need anger management training, or that we need government-sponsored websites designed just so we can hack them for fun, but we're really serious," said Minny Jet, another Thai female hacker who lives in Chiang Mai. Maxi Coke said that fellow hackers in Mainland China and Germany assisted in the attack. "We launched the attack from inside the FBI's own computers. We called it the 'Janet Reno Dance Party.' We didn't want her to have to go too far to find the source of the attack. When she looks too hard, peaceful law abiding citizens tend to get burned up from time to time -- like in Waco, Texas." Like other groups claiming responsibility for the high-profile attacks, the "Julie Holden" hacking group has spelled out its demands for ceasing its attacks on the World Wide Web. First, Western governments and multinational corporations must stop trading with Communist China. Second, Nuremberg-style trials of the United Nations for "crimes against humanity," referring to its promotion of abortion, which must be commenced before the end of the year 2000. Third, the laundering of all the drug money in the world must be uncovered and examined before the public. "Trade, drugs and abortion -- these are the main evils in the world," said Mini Jet. "The elites are a selfish, self-anointed group of snobs. The Chinese, Russians, U.N, Western corporations, they all are raping the planet with impunity." "Since they are what I would call 'evil,' and their view of the world and mankind's nature is all wrong -- they can only lead us all into a future of anarchy and destruction," said Mini Jet. "Forced abortion, sterilization, organ harvesting, the rape of Tibet. These things are evil. Why is the European Union calling Joerg Haider of Austria a Nazi? He's done nothing wrong. Yet the EU embraces the Nazi atrocities of China. They are such
[CTRL] Lawmakers puzzled by Bush's proposals to reform campaign finance
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Lawmakers puzzled by Bush's proposals to reform campaign finance Copyright © 2000 Nando Media Copyright © 2000 Associated Press By LAURIE KELLMAN WASHINGTON (February 15, 2000 9:02 p.m. EST http://www.nandotimes.com) - Friends and foes say Gov. George W. Bush's plan to crack down on big money politics may work in Texas, but it would be doomed on Capitol Hill. The plan contains proposals that already have died with legislation sponsored by his opponent for the GOP presidential nomination, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. Still, McCain, who has forced Bush into a tight race for the nomination, congratulated the governor on following his lead on banning some types of "soft money" contributions. "The next thing you know he's going to move to Arizona," McCain cracked while campaigning in South Carolina. Bush has proposed several points of his plan before, including banning the practice of "rolling over" money from a previous campaign to a current political bid, as McCain has done this year to the tune of $2 million. Bush sharpened the proposal Tuesday in a direct shot at McCain's claim to be a campaign finance reformer. "Eliminate 'roll-over' loophole and prevent incumbents from transferring excess funds from a prior federal campaign (e.g., for the Senate- to a subsequent campaign for a different federal office (e.g., for the presidency)," reads the governor's press release. The jockeying, hours before the two were to meet in their last debate before the South Carolina primary Saturday, represented a Bush effort to dull McCain's claim as the race's only true reformer. But experts on both sides described Bush's proposal as incomplete, puzzling and legislatively doomed. Mirroring a law that governs the Texas Legislature, Bush's plan says lobbyists should be prohibited from donating money to campaigns when Congress is in session. Bush and his aides offered few specifics, other than to say contributions would be permitted during any congressional recess - be it on a weekend, the month of August or when a Congress reaches the end of its two-year lifespan. Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., who is supporting McCain, said the proposal would be hard to put into effect given the nature of Washington's 24-hour-a- day, seven-day-a-week political industry. "It's ridiculous," Hagel said in an interview. "I don't know if that's just a lack of his understanding of the process or not." Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, argued that the problem with Bush's proposal was "more of a manifestation that they just haven't defined it properly." "It's clearly unconstitutional," added Bennett, who is supporting Bush. "It would be a bitter pill to swallow," said John Czwartacki, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott. "Congress is in session for so much of the year, unlike state legislatures. And when they're not in session, they go home." Bush did get support for the proposal from one lawmaker from his native state. "When Governor Bush becomes president next year, I will be happy to carry his proposal in the Senate," Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said in a statement. It's not likely to get far. Another part of the Bush proposal has already been branded a "poison pill" because it would almost surely kill any campaign finance legislation to which it was attached. The proposal, dubbed "paycheck protection," would specify that union members would have the right to refuse to pay any portion of their dues used by the union for political purposes. Unions, which overwhelmingly support Democrats, vehemently oppose the provision and mobilize huge resources to block it. In a statement Tuesday, Bush's campaign said that "Senator McCain would permit this abuse." In fact, McCain supports paycheck protection but declined to add it to his campaign finance bill in an effort to preserve the underlying legislation, which later died. McCain offered to introduce paycheck protection as a free-standing bill, according to Senate aide Mark Busey. Bennett said Bush had no choice but to include that cornerstone of GOP campaign finance reform. "I think he would have been subject to serious criticism among Republicans who understand the issue if he had left it out," Bennett said. But still, he added, "They need to write a better press release." - RECOMMENDED BOOKS http://www.bmvs.com/sites/anomalous/books/recommend.asp RECOMMENDED VIDEOS http://www.bmvs.com/sites/anomalous/videos/recommend.asp ANOMALOUS IMAGES WEBSITE http://www.anomalous-images.com A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Other commentaries about the article included someone wishing to produce Graeme's deposition in question to be viewed by the list here. I am working on getting that information to you, and will forward when available. ~Sharlene~ Please notice how the proof of government gunfire broadcast in a recent CBS 60 Minutes II story is artfully omitted from this St. Louis Post-Dispatch story. Also notice how the case that the Davidians started the fire is being made. The story Craddock tells is not new. Neither is the "pour it" recount from the FBI "bugs." Notice that there is no mention that those conversations took place six hours before any fire started. Also, Craddock is in federal prison and therefore, under duress. Was he offered an early release or other deal? Bottom line: This has all of the earmarks of a carefully constructed "spin" which will exonerate the government of all but minor culpability. If you know something I don't about all of this, I'd like to hear it.

[CTRL] FUND-RAISING SHELL GAME (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- The Washington Times February 15, 2000, Tuesday, Final Edition Greg Pierce; THE WASHINGTON TIMES ... FUND-RAISING SHELL GAME Hillary Rodham Clinton may have stepped into another campaign-finance minefield as she picked up an award yesterday for her work on the moribund Northern Ireland peace process. The $500-per-person fund-raiser at the Georgetown home of Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, a former U.S. ambassador to Portugal, was for the Irish American Democrats group. The group's director, Stella O'Leary, told the Associated Press she expected to spend the maximum allowable $10,000 on the first lady's Senate bid. "This tonight will benefit Hillary's campaign," Miss Bagley told about 100 guests. The event was billed as an official White House function and at least one White House staffer attended with Mrs. Clinton. Candidates for federal office cannot use official staff for campaign-related events like fund raising. Mrs. Clinton's campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson maintained that the fund-raiser was for the Irish American Democrats. "We have no control over how they spend their money," he said. = 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. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Lizards in underwear, court told
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- http://www.theage.com.au/breaking/0002/10/A10659-2000Feb10.shtml Man had lizards in underwear, court told Source: AAP | Published: Thursday February 10, 1:54 PM A Czech holidaymaker was jailed today after being caught trying to smuggle 31 endangered lizards out of Australia in his underwear. Ales Havelka, 30, found with pouches full of lizards in his clothes, had made similar attempts to seize wildlife in Mauritius and Peru, a suburban court was told. Magistrate Allan Spillane told Havelka he had made a 'planned attack on the safety of Australian wildlife' and should learn to conduct himself as a 'world citizen'. Havelka was stopped by customs officials as he tried to leave Australia bound for the Czech Republic on Monday, Broadmeadows Court was told. Daniela Duviani, prosecuting, said when Havalka was searched, officers found two pouches on him and noticed they were moving. Each pouch contained a number of small lizards. He said he had more concealed under his jeans near his ankles. A further search revealed a number of bulges in the thermal underwear near his ankles, Ms Duviani said. A total of 31 small Australian native lizards or geckos were found in the search. Havelka said he collected lizards and found these ones in South Australia and New South Wales. It was estimated the lizards were worth between $US400 and $US2,000 each. Robert Walters, prosecuting for the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, said 13 knob-tailed geckos, seven bearded geckos and 11 southern leaf-tailed geckos had been found. Six of these lizards were endangered species. Mr Walters said Halvelka had been detained in Mauritius and Peru for attempting to take wildlife. Havelka, who was in Australia on holiday, found other lizards on the roadside in the Whyalla area in South Australia and others at Mona Vale, in New South Wales. Officers seized the creatures and took them to the Melbourne Zoo. Kellie (Kellie) Blair, defending, said Havelka was a lizard collector and had not intended to sell them - he wanted to use them for breeding. He had a collection of 25 species of geckos and 120 lizards at home in the Czech Republic, she said. Magistrate Mr Spillane told Havelka this was a 'direct, planned attack on the safety of Australian wildlife. 'I think it's time you were told you simply have to conduct yourself as a proper world citizen if you are going to travel to other countries.' Havelka pleaded guilty to a charge of exporting a prohibited export and possessing endangered wildlife. He was convicted and sentenced to one month's imprisonment.
