[CTRL] To fully appreciate Robert W. Ray's Filegate findings (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 00:51:52 -0500 From: Bruce B. [EMAIL PROTECTED] PRESS RELEASE A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center July 30, 2000 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE To fully appreciate Robert W. Ray's Filegate findings, and to understand why the accusers are really the guilty parties in Filegate, the following word substitutions can be most helpful: Instead of Corrupt Clinton Administration, substitute "Mafia Gang." Instead of President and First Lady, substitute "Mafia Gang Leaders." Instead of Clinton White House political employees, substitute "Mafia Gang Members." Instead of FBI Files, substitute "Cash." To determine the total amount of stolen "cash," assign a value of $100 to every item of important information contained in an average FBI background investigation. Each FBI file contains an average of 100 important items, and there were 900 confidential FBI files discovered hidden in the wrong hands during the Filegate probe: 900100X100 = $9,000,000. Instead of FBI, substitute "Federal Reserve Bank," or "bank," thus FBI officials become "bank officials." Are we ready? Here we go! Washington, DC: Independent Counsel Robert W. Ray says there was no evidence to show that Mafia gang members illegally schemed to obtain or misuse 9 million dollars missing from the Federal Reserve Bank and discovered hidden in the Mafia's hideout, according to a report released yesterday. The report, completed in March and made public by a federal appeals court panel, said the independent counsel's office had concluded its "Cashgate" probe and that no prosecution was warranted. Mr. Ray is quoted as saying, "There is no substantial and credible evidence that any Mafia gang leaders were involved in stealing or spending the millions in cash discovered hidden away in their Mafia headquarters." The recently released report also said that there was no evidence that the Mafia gang's High Consigliere lied to authorities when he claimed that he didn't know how the Mafia "soldiers" who had wrongly obtained the 9 million dollars had held such powerful positions at Mafia Headquarters. The Mafia soldiers occupied highly sensitive slots usually reserved for trusted members. Most amazing of all, the High Consigliere didn't know who "made" the gang members. This is most mysterious, since the Mafia is usually noted for its extreme internal security and its unusual membership requirements. It's a well-known fact that only the most loyal and trusted can get top slots in the Mafia, unless they're good on their knees - [note to typist - make that "feet"] In fact, the Mafia leaders - a ruthless husband and wife team - normally interview each new gang member, but in this case both claim they have never even heard of these highly placed "soldiers," the name used for the members who produce income for the gang. Because the Mafia soldiers were in such powerful positions, the Federal Reserve Bank officials meekly complied with the Mafia soldier's demands especially when the first cash demands contained the signature of the High Consigliere himself! Bank officials have testified that they thought the Mafia was simply asking for their own cash back. The cash was first sent in small envelopes, but when demands increased, cash had to be sent over in cardboard boxes. Over the course of several months, bank officials sent over more than 9 million dollars of somebody else's money to Mafia gang headquarters. Worse, bank officers claim they didn't even know the cash was missing, and they failed to check the Mafia's account balance to see if such large sums were actually available for withdrawal. Documents obtained by IC Ray show that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank was very friendly with one of the Mafia soldiers responsible for obtaining the cash. The bank chairman's family was given personal tours of the Mafia hideout by the mystery soldiers, and warm notes were exchanged between them, each using the others first names. Mafia gang members have testified that they knew they were obtaining cash that did not belong to them, but they continued demanding more and more cash anyway, and never told the bank officials of their wrongful and easy access to somebody else's money. Of course they did not return the cash; they hid the cash, then they denied having it. In fact, the Mafia soldiers eventually obtained so much cash, they had to move it to another, larger location because they were running out of room! The 9 million dollars in cash lay hidden for years in a dark, locked room until authorities received information of its existence from witnesses. However, those same witnesses are now deemed "not credible" according to Mr. Ray's report, even though the cash was finally discovered located in the Mafia's basement. The mysterious Mafia soldiers have testified that it was just a big mistake. Previously they had testified under oath that
[CTRL] TECH: Force fields?
.. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: "James Ganong" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TECH: Force fields? Date: Friday, July 28, 2000 10:33 AM [Non-member submission] Space-borne protective energy systems, like the deflector shields on the fictional starship U.S.S. Voyager, are on the drawing board of real-world scientists. These "cold plasmas" -- analogs to the sophisticated defensive grids envisioned by Star Trek's creators -- are ambient-temperature, ionized gases related to those found deep within the sun's core. Such plasmas are capable of shielding satellites and other spacecraft; or making them invisible to radars; or both. Nor will they fry electronics or melt metal. On Earth, cold plasmas should permit rapid, room-temperature sterilization of food, medical equipment and contaminated civilian and military gear. Low-temperature plasmas could one day also make possible an entire new generation of miniature lasers and ultra-low-energy fluorescent light tubes. While scientists have known of low-temperature plasmas since at least the end of the 19th century, only within the past several years have techniques emerged to make cold plasma generation practical. Vaulting to the first ranks of cold-plasma research in the last three years has been soft-spoken, unassuming Tunisian native Mounir Laroussi, an electrical and computer engineer at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. Research groups at Stanford, Princeton, Ohio State, Wisconsin and New York Polytechnic also are conducting their own plasma-research programs. Laroussi has literally put plasma on the table: devising an apparatus that creates a mini-plasma inside a plexiglass cube by passing an electric current through helium gas via specially calibrated electrodes. Laroussi's process, specified in pending patent applications, is scalable; cold-plasma containers of virtually any size are feasible. No vacuum pumps are required, since the plasma is generated at normal atmospheric pressure. "Mounir is on the forefront. He's one of the pioneers," said Igor Alexeff, president of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer's Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society and professor emeritus of electrical engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. "He's pushing very hard to develop a variety of practical plasmas. His work is pretty impressive." Invulnerable and invisible The U.S. Air Force allocates some $10 million a year for research geared toward satellite protection. Of that amount, $2 million is dedicated to low-temperature plasma studies. Robert Barker, program manager for plasma physics in the Air Force's Office of Scientific Research in Arlington, Va. is so taken with Laroussi's approach that he thus far has funneled $250,000 into Laroussi's research since his arrival at Old Dominion from the University of Tennessee a little over a year ago. The Air Force has supported Laroussi's work since 1996. Barker is drawn not just by Laroussi's plasma-creating prowess, but his ability to make low-temperature plasma inexpensively, in bulk and without the need for hulking equipment. "What's intriguing about Mounir's work is the large volumes of plasma he's been able to generate," Barker said. "He's making very good progress in keeping costs and weight low. His approach gives the best power figures for practical, large-volume generation of cold plasma we have to date." Power-hungry plasmas Poke a finger inside Laroussi's tabletop plasma-generating apparatus and all you'll get from the bluish, pilot-light-like ionized gas is a slight tingle. But the harmless sensation is misleading, since it doesn't give a complete picture of plasma's power. Depending on how a plasma is "tuned," or how it is made more dense by increasing its frequency, it could ward off microwave bursts and discharges from ground-based, energized sources of potential damage and disruption. Swirling in and around one another, a plasma's charged particles interact constantly, giving rise to localized attractions or repulsions. External energy splashing against the plasma --- say, from a potentially disabling, concentrated burst of microwaves, or perhaps even from certain varieties of particle-beam weapons fired from military bases on Earth --- could be caught up within the plasma's complex electromagnetic fields and dissipated completely or deflected into space. Hotter plasmas, while dense, don't appear immediately practical as a defensive shield because of destructive temperatures and high power requirements. In theory, cold plasmas can be made more dense, but like their hotter kin will demand more power. Energy availability and weight --- the larger the required wattage, the heavier the equipment --- would remain thorny issues. "In theory, a plasma could deflect a particle beam or laser attack," Laroussi says. "It depends on what you're shooting at it and how high you can tune the plasma

[CTRL] Roswell UFO Bombshell by Jim Keith (fwd)
From: http://www.fatemag.com/articles/roswell.htm Roswell UFO Bombshell by Jim Keith [Jim Keith was famous as a conspiracy theorist. This article was submitted to FATE as one of the last things he wrote before dying in a freak accident at this years Burning Man Festival.] My source on the following story has asked me to be very vague in my description of him. He describes himself as a longtime researcher/instructor of engineering at a school in New Mexico. I know specific details of his professional work, as well as the names of his own sources for the following information, but he has asked me not to mention them because of potential problems involving security clearances. Speaking with me recently, he told me about his knowledge of what actually took place in Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947-an event which has been alleged by many researchers to have been the crash of an alien spacecraft. His information is gleaned from conversations with others in the engineering field and in the military who were living in or near Roswell at the time. I realize that without identifying my source, the following information is rendered suspect; with that in mind it may still open up new areas of research that will crack the Roswell case. Here is the gist of what he told me: World War II was over, and America had a secret to conceal. Although the government said there were 500 atomic bombs in the militarys arsenal, that was a lie. There were none that were considered reliable. Due to a number of factors-corrosion of parts kept in storage, batteries that didnt work, faulty initiators, and other reasons-there were no usable nuclear bombs in American military stockpiles. After the end of the war, the operational team in charge of the nuclear arsenal had also been dispersed, many of them going to other jobs, and some leaving the military altogether. In short, there was no real nuclear deterrent against the Soviet threat, and members of the American government and military who realized this were terrified that the Soviets would find out. The American brass sought to remedy the situation. As part of this fix, testing of nuclear delivery systems was moved during 1945 and 1946 from Wendover, Utah, to the 509th U.S. Army Air Force Bomb Group unit in Roswell, New Mexico. At the time, Roswell was the center of much secret testing, including the top secret balloon program Project Mogul, and non-critical testing at the Trinity blast site. One job that was given to the 509th was the operational testing of nuclear bombs, including fine-tuning the ability to hit targets accurately. Another secret: According to my source, military bombers were notoriously unreliable in hitting targets, sometimes missing their mark by as much as half a mile. It was given to the 509th to improve that record, and to make it possible to deliver bombs, particularly nuclear bombs, with greater accuracy. Live as well as dummy bombs were flown in from Sandia to Roswell, where they were tested and used in target drops. It was in this environment that the most famous of all UFO stories was born. According to my source, the true story behind the alleged UFO crash was that there was an accident involving a B-29 flying from the Army Air Force Base in Sandia (Albuquerque) to Roswell. From the statements of men in the military who were there at the time, my source states that either an atomic bomb or what is termed a bomb shape, or test shape, the shell of a nuke lacking explosives and atomic capability, and sometimes filled with concrete to add weight, was accidentally or purposefully jettisoned above Corona, New Mexico, directly on the flight path between Sandia and Roswell. Along with the bomb, metal foil used for radar jamming, termed chaff, may have also been dropped. The accidental dropping of a nuclear weapon would surely have been cause enough for a cover-up. If this information had leaked to the public, there might have been an extremely negative reaction. As an aside, my source mentioned that either an armed atomic bomb or test shape, flattened by impact with the ground, could have looked like a squashed disk.

Acc to Jesse Jackson, Chelsea called him to come to the White House and pray with her and her parents. Funny that the only preacher she could find was one with a CNN contract, who was evidently not bound by any privlege and was free to discuss the prayer session with many news agencies. After arriving at Martha's Vineyard, she skillfully worked the receiving lines like the pro she is. Since the press has given chelsea a pass, we've never been able to discover what the little darling has been doing. We have seen a few clues.

Why else would she really be there? She's the conduit with no paper trail. Btw, many people think I'm crazy for suggesting that Foster used his family in much the same way. Foster was not a naive politico over his head in WDC. His family was very political. His father was a player. His sister was married to a Congressman, another sister was married to a man involved in a AR SL investigation, which involved HRC and Foster's son worked for Senator Bumpers. Acc to the staff the son called often to ask how the father was and to inquire if Nussbaum could "sneak him" into the White House for lectures. Since the son worked on a Bumper's committee that had oversight on the SBA hearing involving Hale and Whitewater problems, I've always suspected that the son was a conduit too. The Foster children were kept from the USPP, not because of their fragile state but because they had so much info. Laura was an intern. The son worked for Bumpers, who btw, had a nephew who worked in Fletcher Jackson's USA AR office where the search warrant was requested for the FBI to gather documents from David Hale's Capital Management Services.

[CTRL] Jackson to mediate fastfood case
[Mr Jackson's intervention is the latest chapter in a long-running dispute, which started from promising beginnings in 1996 as part of President Bill Clinton's "empowerment zone" programme - under which companies were offered incentives to create jobs in poorer areas.] Jackson to mediate fastfood case By Lucy Killgren in London and Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson in New York Published: July 30 2000 20:08GMT Updated: July 31 2000 01:28GMT The Reverend Jesse Jackson, the civil rights campaigner, has been drafted in to broker a deal between Burger King in the US, and LaVan Hawkins, a high profile African-American businessman who is suing the company for $1.8bn. Mr Jackson last week met representatives of Burger King and Mr Hawkins in Chicago to try to reach an agreement between the two after Mr Hawkins filed a suit against the company in April. The suit alleges racial discrimination by Burger King, the fast-food subsidiary of Diageo, the UK-based drinks and food group. It accuses the company of reneging on a promise to help Mr Hawkins open 225 restaurants in inner-city areas. Mr Hawkins has hired Willie Gary, the trial attorney who is also representing African-American plaintiffs in a discrimination lawsuit against Coca-Cola. In a statement in May, Mr Gary described Mr Hawkins as "the Bill Gates of the fast food service industry", and accused Burger King of reneging on its commitments after the company had benefited from Mr Hawkins' "creativity and genius". Mr Hawkins also alleges that Burger King used "horrifying racial epithets" and that some of its actions were partly racially motivated. Burger King denies it agreed to open 225 restaurants with Mr Hawkins, although at the time the deal was announced, the company said it could develop as many as 125. It added that it "vehemently denies" any allegations of racism. Mr Jackson's intervention is the latest chapter in a long-running dispute, which started from promising beginnings in 1996 as part of President Bill Clinton's "empowerment zone" programme - under which companies were offered incentives to create jobs in poorer areas. At a White House press conference Robert C. Lowes, the then Burger King chairman and chief executive, and Mr Hawkins announced that Mr Hawkins' company UrbanCityFoods would develop 125 restaurants in empowerment zones and enterprise communities. Burger King, currently scheduled for a partial initial public offering in the next year, is countersuing Mr Hawkins for trademark infringement. It accuses him of owing the company millions of dollars in back rent, royalties and advertising. Despite the acrimony, it is thought that both parties are looking for a settlement. = 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.

In what would be a major boost for the city's high-tech image, Motorola is seeking about 40,000 square feet in the Loop or on the Near West Side for a "creative talent facility" to help it design and market wireless Internet products, cell phones and other products. http://www.chicagobusiness.com/cgi-bin/mag/article.pl?article_id=14693 == ZNet Commentary / July 31 / By Jim Hightower 007 INCORPORATED What's a spook to do? The cold war is over, the Ruskies are now our buddies, the Butchers of Beijing have become our business partners . . . so where's a spy to go to get a job? Try Motorola, it might be hiring. The Wall Street Journal reports that Motorola Inc. has a substantial spy shop, with "units sprinkled in almost all of their outposts around the world." Indeed, it seems that just about every major U.S. corporation now employs spooks to go into the global cold and spy on their competitors, on foreign governments, and . . . well, who knows who else they're spying on? Actually, the term "spying" is too dclass for the pin-striped corporate crowd. "Competitive intelligence" is the preferred designation, or, as one corporate snoop calls his espionage activities: "specialized management consulting." This is not some rogue basement operation either-it goes right to the top of the company. The Journal notes that Motorola's clandestine network, created and headed by a former CIA operative, is central to executive suite decisions, with the spooks sitting in on most corporate strategy sessions. "The concept was to mirror the interaction between the CIA and the White House," says the agent who set up Motorola's shop. There are enough of these corporate 007s that they've even established their own trade association, with nearly seven thousand members. The corporate spies use all sorts of sophisticated, new software to do their espionage, but there's plenty of old-fashioned spy-stuff, too-from paying informants to rummaging through a competitors trash. Even the CIA winces at some of the practices of the private-sector spooks-as one agent put it: "In corporate America, the definition of what's ethical is what's legal."

[CTRL] Fwd: New DEA Regulations Prohibiting Industrial Hemp
Representative Cynthia Thielen, Assistant Republican Floor Leader of the Hawaii House of Representatives, wrote: I recently returned from Washington, DC where I met with Congress members and government officials about industrial hemp. I learned that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will be publishing its new rules shortly in the Federal Register. This email is a warning to you in the industrial hemp industry, and I ask you to forward it to others who may be affected by these DEA regulations. 1. DEA INTERPRETIVE RULE. First, the DEA will be interpreting the Controlled Substances Act and its own regulations as declaring any products that contain any amounts of THC to be a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance, even though such products are made from portions of the cannabis plant that are excluded from the definition of marijuana. However, the DEA also will publish in the Fed. Register a Proposed Rule and Interim Rule, the latter of which will create exemptions to its Interpretive Rule. Otherwise, as DEA notes, its Interpretive Rule standing alone would declare as "controlled substances" a wide variety of cannabis derived products historically allowed by the federal government. For example, hemp based paper, hemp clothing, hemp rope, and bird seed containing hemp all would be considered a Schedule 1 controlled substance under the DEA Interpretive Rule if they contained any trace amounts of naturally occurring THC. 2. PROPOSED RULE. DEA's Proposed Rule will revise the wording of its own regulations so that THC refers to both naturally occurring THC and synthetic THC, making both Schedule 1 marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. 3. INTERIM RULE. DEA's Interim Rule will exempt portions of the cannabis [industrial hemp] plant from control to the extent such products are not used or intended for use for human consumption. DEA concedes that hemp paper, clothing and rope "legitimately used" cannot result in THC entering the human body. Hemp animal feed (including birdseed) is included in this category. [I credit Kenex for winning the "birdseed war" and letting trade resume for this product.] 4. Personal care hemp products are in question. Since hemp based shampoos, lotions, etc. come into contact with the human skin, DEA evidently searched for evidence that THC could be absorbed into the skin. However, lacking such evidence at this point, those hemp products are not yet outlawed. However, if comments on the new rules claim that THC is absorbed into the human body from personal care products, then I believe DEA will take steps to outlaw them. This is evidenced by DEA's action in considering hemp lip balm as a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance in its rules, and therefore hemp lip conditioner will be prohibited in the USA. Body Shop, please take note!! These proposed rules have been reviewed and evidently approved by the US Justice Department, DEA and Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). A July 10, 2000 letter from Barry McCaffrey (ONDCP) to Congresswoman Patsy T. Mink shows where the federal government is coming from, and I quote in part from Mc Caffrey's letter: ... "Many allege that hemp products are only those that are made from the portions of the Cannabis sativa L plant that are excepted from the definition of 'marijuana' in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). However, industrial hemp products have historically referred to rope, canvas, machine oil, paper, cloth, and oil used in paint and varnish. Such products were thought not to contain tetrahydrocannabinols (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, and were made from various fibrous plants, including plants such as Cannabis sativa, banana and jute. The United States also has a long history of importing sterile Cannabis sativa L seeds (commonly referred to as hemp seeds) for use as bird and animal feed. Recently, however, Cannabis sativa L seeds and oil, pressed from those seeds, have been imported for human consumption in various forms of hemp products. These later offerings include topical solutions, as well as products specifically designed for ingestion. Such applications for human consumption are confounding [McCaffrey's word] our Federal drug control testing programs, if they contain THC, and are of significant concern." Once these DEA proposed rules are published in the Federal Register, you will have 30 days to comment on them. I urge those of you who will be impacted by the proposed ban on hemp products made for human consumption to immediately contact your US Congress members. Ask them to immediately contact Janet Reno, US Attorney and Mr. Donnie Marshall, DEA Administrator to object to these proposed rules which will make hemp consumables a Schedule 1 substance.

Bush's father was nicknamed "Magog," which "is traditionally assigned to the incoming Bonesman deemed to have had the most sexual experience" (Grove, "Reliable Source," Washington Post, 4/18) = 2 of 11 results Previous Story | Next Story | Back to Results List 02-29-2000 PEOPLE - BUSH: MOVIE TELLS TALE OF DUBYA'S CLUB Chicago Tribune's Warren/Armour report that a new movie may give the public an insight into a particular presidential candidate's youthful indiscretions. "As if George W. Bush wasn't getting enough trouble from John McCain, here comes a movie called 'The Skulls,' which demonizes a secret society at Yale University." The movie paints a dark and nasty picture of the elite club that both George W. Bush and Pres. Bush belonged to as undergraduates at Yale. "George the Younger already is trying to cast off suggestions that he's just another blue blood advancing through life on his father's name and his family's connections. So it can't help that Universal Studios soon plans to release a film in which a Skull and Bones-like club comes off as a corrupt, murdering cabal" (2/29). = "BIOGRAPHY" FEATURE AE's "Biography" featured a George W. Bush "Biography" last night. Excerpts follow. AE's Harry Smith, on Bush's Yale days: "Like his father, he joined the secret Skull and Bones Society, and Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, where he became the president. The fraternity had a reputation. In Bush's senior year, it was fined for its hazing practices, including branding the fraternity's name on the backs of pledges. ... Besides partying, George was also engaged to be married, briefly, in his junior year." = 04-24-1992 WHITE HOUSE '92 - BUSH: GLOBAL ENVIRO-COP CRITICISM W.S. JOURNAL's Paul Gigot: "Don't believe the spin" that Bush is "reluctant" to go to Rio. "The truth is, he can't wait to go. Which is the problem. Rio is just the sort of jaunt" Bush loves. "It's more fun even than Kennebunkport. His telephone chums, perhaps 100 world leaders, will all be there. He'd once again be chief poobah of Global Skull Bones." GOPers also "fret" if Bush doesn't go, Clinton will. "They should buy him the ticket. = Buchanan, on ABC's "Brinkley": "George needs Ronald Reagan to win in [NH] ... the ex-presidents' club is as exclusive a club as Skull and Bones ... Reagan could do nothing else when requested but endorse George Bush ... Both [Nixon and Reagan] are going to endorse George Bush -- they've got to. ... But ... I'll bet if you asked Ronald Reagan privately what he thought of George Bush's tax hikes [and] spending [and] cave-in on the quota bill -- privately he would give you what he thought, and I think he might agree with Pat Buchanan" (2/9). = 01-13-1992 WHITE HOUSE '92 - BUCHANAN: LABELS BUSH TRIP A "FIASCO" Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Buchanan called Bush's trip to Japan "a fiasco. I think the president did not even realize the lowered expectations of his own staff. But it was good in this sense. Mr. Bush has been talking about this global new world order as though it's Skull and Bones International, and he got a reality check in Tokyo." On health care: "I said I would start to address it this week in specifics up at the AARP convention." Admitting he did not have a health plan now, he added, "We don't want what the British have where they wait six months for major surgery, and sometimes it never quite arrives in time. We don't want what the Canadians have." On a balanced budget: "No, not in the first year. You've got a $400B deficit ...

from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ Click Here: A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Spy vs. Spy Ex-CIA Spy Offers Cuban Travel Another dot.com. THE forbidden fruit always tastes the bestor so Philip Agee, a former CIA whistleblower, is hoping. He has set up a joint-venture dot.com company with Fidel Castros government to encourage Americans to defy their government by holidaying on the forbidden island. Now that the United States House of Representatives has voted to ease the travel ban to Cuba (see article), the prospect of their actually making the trip seems less implausible. Mr Agees website, called Cubalinda.com and designed for the American market, offers travellers an unforgettable adventure. The thrill, he assured potential clients ahead of this weeks Havana carnival, would be provided by the exotic dancers and festival floats, rather than the firm hand of an immigration official on the shoulder when visitors returned to the United States after breaking the travel ban against the island. Mr Agee has been a thorn in the Americans side ever since he left the CIA at the end of the 1960s to write books denouncing the United States for dirty wars across Latin America. Now he wants to further a rebellion against the American embargo. I would like to see people ignore the law, he says. Thats what happened in the 1920s with prohibition; all our grandfathers were making bath-tub gin. As it stands, American law bans the spending of any money in Cuba, rather than visits outright. Exceptions are made for academics, students, musicians and others who can get special permits. Some institutions, like Harvard University, have general licences allowing any member to visit Cuba. You could join a photo club in Maine on-line, which has a general licence, explains Mr Agee, and then legally come to take pictures of the carnival. The Cubans say that more than 160,000 American citizens visited the island last year, many of them legally. Judging by the response to his website so far, there is plenty of potential interest. Mr Agee says that he got more than 600,000 clicks during its first three months. Not all the messages were friendly however, particularly those from exiles in Miami. Now that the Americans have begun to hint at an easing of the sanctions that have been in place for the past 38 years, it may be that adventurous American sorts will feel readier to take the risk right away. Cubalinda insists that even now there is no real risk for American visitors. To our knowledge, no-one has ever been prosecuted for simply visiting Cuba, it declares. It is simply a law designed to intimidate, but it is not enforced. As for Mr Agee himself, he makes no apologies for advocating a breaking of the travel ban. I stayed away from the United States for 17 years on legal advice, he says. If I find I cant go back now, it will not bother me in the least.

Send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CHAPTER 36 __ ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE Agent D/813317 Richard Tomlinson joined MI6 in 1991. Born in New Zealand, he read aeronautical engineering at Cambridge and was a Kennedy memorial scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Fluent in French, German and Spanish, Tomlinson was approached at university where he gained a first. A lecturer had asked him if he wanted to do 'something stimulating' in the foreign service. Despite modern recruiting methods, the trusted old-boy network is still a favoured option at Oxbridge, and a number of other key universities, such as Durham and Exeter, still have a contact group of lecturers on the lookout for 'firsts' as suitable recruits. Historian Andrew Roberts has written about his own experience of being approached in 1987 to join the 'FCO Co-ordinating Staff', as MI6 is known: the 'chat with a Cambridge contact', tea at the John Nash-designed Carlton House which overlooks St James's Park, 'a discreet lunch a fortnight later and then a delightfully absurd mini-exam, in which one of the questions was "Put the following in order of social precedence: earl, duke, viscount, baron, marquis" '. At Century House, Roberts recognised 'several of the young Miss Moneypennys from the secretarial schools' parties at university'. The questions continued in a farcical vein: 'If I had been a communist, a fascist or a homosexual . . . Where do Britain's best long-term interests lie? Washington, Brussels or Moscow?' During the medical examination, he was told that 'with Oxford it's the drugs thing, with Cambridge it's the boys'. Attitudes have changed, and by 1997 MI6 was prepared to post a 'gay couple' - 'counsellor' and chief of station Christopher Hurran and his long-time Venezuelan lover - to the British embassy in Czechoslovakia. A few years earlier, the Service had recruited a member of CND. Finally, Roberts went through the process of positive vetting (known since 1990 as EPV). It is generally conducted by a semi-retired officer with a false name, who interviews referees and other contacts, and undertakes checks on credit-worthiness. Suitable candidates are put through the fast-stream Civil Service Selection Board. Roberts, however, decided not to join, and Tomlinson did so only after spending a number of years travelling and working in the City, during which time he had also signed up for the SAS territorial regiment. Over the last decade the Service has recruited a number of personnel from the special forces, though their gung-ho philosophy seems at odds with the image that M16 has projected of the modern spy. Tomlinson eventually joined MI6 for old-fashioned 'patriotic reasons' and sat the standard Foreign Of fice entry examination before being accepted on to the intelligence service training course. New recruits are introduced to the traditional 'tradecraft' of the world of spying and gain a broad range of knowledge from recruiting and running agents to developing agents of influence and organising and servicing 'dead letter' drops. Because of the smaller numbers, MI6 officers indulge in less specialisation than their American counterparts, though the techniques are essentially little different from those used at the beginning of the century. The infamous Dreyfus affair began when a cleaning woman, Marie Bastian, working in the German embassy but employed by the French secret service, handed over to her French controller the contents of the wastepaper baskets she emptied. MI6 recruiters still look out for 'the life-and-soul-of-the-party types who could persuade the Turkish ambassador's secretary to go through her boss's wastepaper basket'. These days, however, the spy is armed with a hand-held digital scanner which can hold the filched material in its memory and can also be used in emergencies to transmit the stolen secrets by burst transmissions via a satellite. Such gadgets are developed for the Directorate of Special Support responsible for providing technical assistance to operations - staffed by MoD locksmiths, video and audio technicians and scientists in sections devoted to chemicals and electronics, forensic services, electronic support measures, electronic surveillance and explosive systems.

[CTRL] Get Your Music Mojo Working
from: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,37892,00.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,37892,00.html"Get Your Music Mojo Working/A - Get Your Music Mojo Working by Declan McCullagh 5:45 p.m. Jul. 29, 2000 PDT LAS VEGAS -- A new file-sharing system could best rivals like Napster and Gnutella through more anonymous and efficient transfers. The service has an innovative feature that rewards users for uploading and distributing files: payment in a form of digital currency called "Mojo." "It's a cross between Napster and eBay," says Jim McCoy, the 30-year-old CEO of Autonomous Zone Industries, which created the open-source MojoNation software. McCoy's goal is nothing if not ambitious: to create the first file-sharing economy of agents, servers, and search engines in which senders and receivers can agree on prices for each transaction and use micropayments to get paid. The prospect of millions of users spending Mojo tokens on pirated movies and songs is sure to draw the wrath of the entertainment industry, which has sued to shut down Napster and erase a DVD-descrambling program from the Web. Another probable early use is pornography copied from other sites, and companies such as Penthouse's publisher also have shown they're willing to tak e legal action. Autonomous Zone says that since it -- unlike Napster -- does not keep a master index of files, its employees are simply unable to remove references to illegal files stored on MojoNation servers. "We are a bigger threat because we can survive most attacks," McCoy says. But the startup claims it wants to work with Hollywood through a voluntary-payment-for-downloads feature that the firm's programmers have dubbed "PayLars," a reference to Metallica drummer and Napster foe Lars Ulrich. "When the president of Sony comes to us, we'll say Gnutella's never going to do anything for you," says the Autonomous Zone programmer who goes by the name Zooko Journeyman. "Fight them or die -- or join us and prosper." In an attempt to spread MojoNation quickly through the hacker underground, Autonomous Zone plans to release the beta version at the DefCon convention this weekend in Las Vegas. Versions will be available on sourceforge.net for Windows and Linux machines. MojoNation's current stage of development is somewhere between a working prototype and a polished final product. It works, but a friendly interface is still being shaped, and as of Friday, company programmers were still unearthing some remaining bugs. At least when its development is complete, MojoNation should combine the ease of use and search capabilities of Napster and Gnutella with the kind of distributed server network that FreeNet uses. Files that are uploaded to a Freenet server remain online after a user disconnects, but Freenet does not support searching or micropayments. But will MojoNation be compelling enough to make other users switch? "It doesn't seem to buy anything over Gnutella," says Jon Lasser, author of Think Unix. "It's not clear to me who is served by this system." The libertarian-leaning cypherpunks -- only about seven so far -- who work at Autonomous Zone are pinning their hopes on creating an emergent network of electronic buyers, sellers, and service providers, all exchanging tokens that might represent as little as one-thousandth of a cent. Another addition: A limited form of reputation-tracking, so you can determine which service providers are the most reliable. The first time you log on, you generate a public and private key pair that the system uses to identify you. "It is an ant colony of sorts -- tons of agents, each with its own specialized goal," says McCoy, a former Yahoo engineer who founded Autonomous Zone last summer and is providing the seed capital. By pinning even an infinestimal value on all transactions, the company plans to discourage piggish folks who download more than they contribute in return. To earn Mojo tokens, users can sell their extra bandwidth or disk space and act as servers, or create their own service that others want to pay for. A successful system would also likely include money exchangers who buy and sell Mojo tokens in exchange for dollars. Before a MojoNation user uploads a file, the client software splits it into eight pieces using an algorithm akin to that used in RAID hard disk arrays: Only four pieces are necessary to reconstruct the entire file, and the sender can try to use the network to cloak his or her identity.

Why? Who From? Who? or What? was taking control of the country? Germany discovered that an alien race was replacing the German people. The alien race was telepathic, collective, mind controlling, could alter their appearance at will___and hated the human race. In other words__the German people were doomed! Hitler's biggest mistake was not officially recording in history the presence of the alien race in Germany and the systematic extermination of the German people by the alien race! 60 years later the United States if facing the same problem. The CESS-Alien Agency___Cultural Elite SS___controls all the cities, the monetary system, and the jobs. They have moved to the burbs and are systematically taking humans out of society___and replacing them with look-alikes that have very few human characteristics. These units are impersonating human beings. Their only purpose is to continue throwing out humans. The technology they possess is far advanced and they have millions of ways of "taking humans down unfairly"___from causing AIDS-like illnesses, sickle cell, MS, to Cancers and brain tumors. Big Brother is here in the United States and he hates humans and human behavior. In fact Big Brother is Master Brother and using humans as slaves on their plantation called the United States. How did this happen? All the media in the United States is controlled by the alien race___including the internet! The founding fathers warned the nation about maintaining a free press! The presses and the media were all bought on time___then the manufacturing industry was charged huge advertising fees in order to pay for the loans and spread the alien hives. Hollywood and tv have tried through-out the years to produce targeting entertainment that revealed the existence of the hostile alien race and their agendaThe most famous is the movie "Independence Day"! This brings Americans to the question concerning our system of government, the existence of the alien masters, and the 2000 presidential election. Forget-about-it! There is only one part! The alien party! We should forget about the election, declare marshal law, take back the presses and media and start informing the humans about the alien race and their agenda.

[CTRL] It's Time 4 Censorship
from:alt.conspiracy As, always, Caveat Lector Om K - Click Here: A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:631138"It's Time 4 Censorship/A -- Subject: It's Time 4 Censorship From: "FightingCock" A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]/A Date: Sun, Jul 30, 2000 1:19 AM Message-id: tyRg5.89413$[EMAIL PROTECTED] July 29, 2000 4:20 p.m. A letter to my close friends who have cheered me on as I and my family of friends have struggled to release our first book; 'A Time 4 Hemp: Seeds of Truth.' I have been overly amazed at the strength of censorship that I have been forced to deal with while living in the 'Bible Belt' of America. It was our intention to launch our Web site and begin selling the book on August 15, 2000. But, in our attempt to secure a merchant credit card account, we were met with people--who wishing to suppress our message--drug their feet in getting the necessary paper work completed. And we missed our launch date. One example of this: We were instructed to fax important information from our bank to the credit card company. One of the CEO's of the company--on 7 different occasions--gave to our bank and us THE WRONG FAX NUMBER. The president of the bank had to call the president of the credit card company to straighten the mess out. In the meantime--we missed our launch date of the 15th, because we couldn't accept payment for orders. Well, now I am completely blown away by the new form of censorship that has come against this book our company, LeafsAlot. In our attempt to find a printer, we've had 3 printing companies insist on reviewing the books before agreeing to print ANY MATERIAL ON DRUGS! (Since when did HEMP become a DRUG?) They said they were AFRAID of being harassed by the police and Federal Agents of this country. The printer we HAD lined up backed out on us Friday at the last minute! We were all set to sign the contract and ink the check when the owner of the company made it clear that he would not support the printing or our 'propaganda' since he was a proud contributor to the DARE program and the Partnership for a Drug Free America organization. Once we find someone who: 1.) is willing to take our money to print our books-- 2.) is not AFRAID to exercise their Rights as an American citizen-- 3.) is willing to do business as a business owner should (and not censor the material that a customer is paying to have printed) 4.) is brave enough to work with this company we will start printing the books and open ALL THE DOORS to our web site. PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS the struggle we are up against. Who knows, it might help us to quickly find a printer! We are very determined to overcome this last hurdle. I'm an old trooper in the war on drugs. This type of harassment only serves to make me--and my family of friends--more determined to succeed. If you have any suggestion that can help us succeed, please forward them to A HREF="http://www.Time4Hemp"http://www.Time4Hemp/A. ASAP!

The marchers were so poor they went to Washington in the hope that they could convince the government to give them the money immediately. When no money was forthcoming they had nowhere else to go.

[CTRL] Fwd: THE SCOOP: GOP Convention Day 2
The Scoop - http://www.bobharris.com/ THE SCOOP for July 31, 2000 ___ GOP Convention Notes #2 © 2000 Bob Harris http://www.bobharris.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * = italics GOP Convention notes from Sunday: The convention, naturally enough, is *not* being held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, which is downtown and would be readily available to protesters. The GOP is south of town, in Philly's shiny new hockey rink, the First Union Arena. The Convention Center, instead, is home to PoliticalFest, a Spam-like simulacrum where visitors can witness symbols of the democratic process that have nothing to do with actual democracy itself. These are actually on display, my hand to God: o A scary-looking two-foot tall tiki mask of George Bush o A Bill Blass gown worn by Barbara Bush while dining with the President of Yemen o A jacket owned by Gerald Ford's mother o A menu from Harry Truman's inauguration o One of Herbert Hoover's fishing reels If that's not enough, nearby is the Memorabilia Marketplace, a shopping mall selling oodles of replicas of similar crap, plus a bazillion official George W. Bush T-shirts, hats, lapel pins, and plush elephants. Much of this will be available for free to the rich people back at actual convention. People without credentials, of course have to pay. ___ The side of the First Union Arena has been sold as ad space to a company that is not First Union. Apparently *everything* is for sale here. ___ Outside of the sports complex (Veterans Stadium, home to the Eagles, the Phillies, and the Army/Navy football game is nearby), the neighborhood quickly becomes one W. himself wouldn't dream of walking around alone. Thanks to an attempted rape, NBC has actually relocated all of the female employees out of the nearby Stadium Holiday Inn. Thanks to the arena's location, a massive police presence, and other logistics, protesters are nowhere to be seen. Not one. All the protests today were closer to downtown. About 750 people listened to Ralph Nader over near City Hall this morning. Perhaps twice that many showed up for the Unity 2000 rally. This was all in other parts of town, safely away from the prying eyes of the assembled media. ___ There are 15,000 reporters here, warehoused mostly in four giant inflated temporary pavilions the size of aircraft hangers and lined up adjacent to the arena itself. The pavilions are a self-contained world, complete with offices, restaurants, bathrooms, and even golf cart transportation. Many reporters will do all of their work within this bubble. There's often nothing interesting going on. Nothing. So thousands of news stories are about to be written about the lack of anything to write about. Here's how bad it is: I've personally already been interviewed by the AP and the Houston Chronicle, and they didn't even know who I was. Reporters are literally walking up to other reporters, starting conversations, and then taking notes. I called a friend of mine who was at a protest where pairs of shoes, representing victims of gun violence, were put on display. Not one reporter got anywhere near him. I ducked my head into the booth of a *major* weekly news magazine and asked if anyone knew how to get to the Unity 2000 march, exactly. No one did. ___ I can't help but think that the amount of energy that went into constructing this temporary city might better have gone into rebuilding the surrounding neighborhood of Philadelphia itself. ___ Reporters arrive at the convention via the GOP Express, a series of private shuttle buses and vans given special priority through traffic. The bus I rode in on was allowed to pass a police road block at the freeway exit, then went through a courteous search prior to admission to the convention grounds. As the Secret Service agent eyed my bag as if it were a bomb, I noticed the GOP slogan in forty-foot letters on the side of the arena: Renewing America's Purpose, Together. Nothing makes you want to Renew America more than feeling like you're in a third world country. ___ Finally inside, I got my first peek at our broadcast booth along Radio Row. Michael Medved will be in front of me and to the right. Just like in real life. Oliver North will be far to my right, and facing the other way entirely. Also just like in real life. ___ In Pavilion 3, a group of reporters were staring at ABC's morning interview show in rapt attention. They were all watching George Stephanopolous... with the volume down. I have no idea what this means. I don't even want to think about it. Tom Brokaw put in a brief appearance at the MSNBC booth, about 100 feet from ours. He seemed to listen vaguely to a producer and mostly stared into space. A small crowd gathered to watch him do this.

Bush's $100,000 Club This has been a totally grassroots, broad-based individual effort across America. Donald Evans George W. Bush's fundraising centers around his network of Pioneers, each of whom has raised at least $100,000. As of July 15, the Bush campaign has released the names of 212 Pioneers*. TPJ has identified, researched and profiled each of these individuals, whom Bush relies upon as his leading conduits of political cash. Read the press release Summary Key Findings Pioneers Give Big Money to Federal Candidates Pioneers by Industry Pioneers Hail from 34 States Top 25 Donors to Bush's Gubernatorial Races Top 25 Donors to Federal Democrats Soft Money from Pioneers' Corporations Pioneer Profiles Individual profiles of each of the 212 Pioneers View the Pioneer Profiles: Alphabetically by State by Industry by Contribution Amount by Other Classifications Download the entire set of 212 profiles as an Adobe Arcobat file for printing.

The Pioneers group includes a host of polluters, corporate welfare recipients and trade group leaders who seek special favors for their particular industries. The report by Texans for Public Justice is the first in-depth look at each of the Pioneers. The report classifies and analyzes the Pioneers made public by Bush as of July 15, by their business and ideological interests, tracks the total money each spends on politics, and provides individual profiles of each of the 212. (Earlier this week the Bush campaign released a list of 14 additional Pioneers, bringing the total to 226.) Thanks to this small group of business tycoons lobbyists, Bush has raised more money than any other political candidate in history, twice as much as any presidential candidate before him, said Texans for Public Justice Director Craig L. McDonald. If you can judge a candidate by his big donors, a Bush presidency will bring more corporate welfare, more pollution, less consumer regulation and more business lobbyists to the White House. Among the findings of The Bush Pioneer report: * 133 Pioneers are business executives, George Bush appointed 16 Pioneers to state government posts, 14 have spent the night at the Governors mansion in Austin, 13 represent polluter interests, 35 have benefited from corporate-welfare, 26 have been involved in one or more campaign finance-related scandals, and 20 Pioneers have kept the revolving door between government and industry spinning. * The 212 identified Pioneers have raised a minimum of $21.2 million in hard money for Bushs presidential effort. These 212 individuals also contributed $2.3 million to Bushs gubernatorial campaigns, $7.1 million in hard money to federal candidates and PACs and $4.1 million in soft money contributions to federal political party committees since the 96 election cycle. * The top 5 individual money movers among the Pioneers (total federal money since the 96 election cycle plus money to Bushs gubernatorial campaigns) are: A.G. Spanos , $877,450; Sam Fox, $831,733; Kenneth Lay, $574,550; Tom Loeffler, $495,424; and, Louis A. Beecherl, Jr., $446,350. * Among the 212 Pioneers, the top overall contributors to Bushs gubernatorial campaigns are: Charles J. Wyly, Jr., $210,273; Dennis R. Berman, $175,000; Louis A. Beecherl, Jr., $154,000; Tom Loeffler, $141,000; and, Richard Heath, $124,449. * Eighty-four companies controlled by or employing these 212 individuals contributed an additional $21 million in soft money contributions to political party committees since the 96 election cycle, $15.5 million to the Republicans, $5.5 million to the Democrats. * Like their companies, 73 of the individual Pioneers also support candidates of both parties. These 73 Pioneers gave Democrats a total of $390,000 in hard and soft money since the 96 election cycle. The biggest Pioneer givers to Democrats are: Robert Day, Jr., $45,420; Kenneth Lay, $39,000; Randall D. Hubbard,

Disney demanded it be taken off the "Millionaire" CDROMs." The Millionnaire CDROM was scheduled to be released without the Bible. The decision by General Mills to stop releasing any more CDROMs at all was a surprise to the developers of the product. "Putting Zondervan's Protestant version of the Bible -- the New International Version -- in cereal boxes is offensive, said Rabbi James Rudin, the interreligious consultant for the American Jewish Committee in New York. ""I eat General Mills products myself, and I don't think it's right for any American to pick up a box of cereal in the morning and feel excluded," said Rudin. "This is one particular version of the Bible they're offering -- and America is multi-religious, multi-ethnic. When Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Taoists and millions of other Americans pick up this box of cereal and look at this Bible -- they are excluded."" Why not issue all sorts of books in cereal boxes, so nobody feels excluded? Would that not be better than no books at all? When Americans eat "Quaker" brand oatmeal and think it is an affirmation of multicultural capitalism without any reference to religion one has to wonder about what has happened to our world.

BRITLAND NEWSBYTE july 2000 by andrew hennessey As we have seen from documents such as OPERATION BLUE BEAM and the New Order of Barbarians - the antipopulation measures of the NWO are globally active - whilst the scandal of the deliberate attempt to destroy both family values and gender identity continues to make progress. The state meanwhile prepares to take on responsibility for Cloning/Birthing of new life, whilst wrenching future generations of kids away from their parents using the Healthy Start Programme renamed under various guises globally. Tony Blairs sickly smile evaporated when he had the displeasure of announcing that his proGAY Law had been thrown out of the House of Lords for the Second Time and vowed to continue presenting it - whilst saying that WE feel that current legislation is unfair - who's WE Blair ?? certainly not 90% of the population that you were elected to represent. The proGAY legislation was forced through in Scotland against an overwhelming tide of public opinion - TV channels bombard us with porn, and insane groups under the guise of 'politically correct' discriminate against the majority interest. TV is full of cross dressing and gay programmes and warehouses are disgorging tonnes of gay schoolbooks whilst 'Christian Archbishops' write of morality without God. Having said that - the Catholic Church despite its known failings may well be the last bastion of public spirituality in the UK - for though marriage is being destroyed as a viable institution, it is definite blockade against satanism - eg. the sex and aliens and bloody new age book by barbara hand clow condemns catholic christianity as sexually repressive and her book the plaedian agenda to me sounded satanic - and is this a coincidence but her name is a satanic anagram BAAL WHO BRAND ARC where barbara may well be the Hand on the Brand - it translates as worshippers of satan who create sexual slavery. Satanists obviously feel a bit daunted by christianity In the UK, under the guise of protecting us from hooligans - new legislation makes it possible to have your passport confiscated and to have an electronic tagging order imposed. In this background of 'new legislation' comes the new community schools initiative where it is planned to re-educate parents of whom it is thought are unable to educate their kids with the 'right values' Its obvious that the buffoons of new labour never thought this lot up by themselves - as man of the people and deputy PM Prescott [the equivalent of Gore] continues to spend vast amounts of the punters money on feathering his nest and generally looking stupid on TV. Further restrictions on travel are being imposed using high fuel prices and the introduction of road tolls and other spurious taxes - whilst the insane spin surrounding the national health service is quite clearly a deliberate lie and bribe - it is more probable that these hospitals will become centres of euthanasia for the aged and unfit - notplaces to be if you want to stay alive - even the doctors are encouraging patients to lie about their conditions to progress through the mincing machine. Recent Cabinet Leaks show that Blair has discovered that you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time - his memos show that he knows that he has been 'rumbled' and his new labour 'BRAND' like a bad tin of Heinz Beanz has been 'contaminated' Edinburgh being the Capital of SCotland - attracts a lot of american tourists - usually with loadsa money :) - and it happened that I was in a tartan shop - and some tasteless guy was buying a horrible looking tartan shawl for his poor wife - so I helpfully suggested the [obviously] beautiful stuart tartan - they said gee ... is there a Clinton Tartan Good luck in the elections guys - we all know that the 'OPinion POLLS' are fictional - how else could Bush possibly make progress - he's being hailed by the BBC as an all american hero. I think that there is genuine cause for optimism that in Deathstar UK Darth Blair may well be getting a going over by the Evil Reptoid Emperor 'REDOUBLE YOUR EFFORTS Mr BLAIR' ordinary decent people are standing up and saying NO and these people are NOT STUPID - thats the BIG MISTAKE that these insane politicians make - they can't be certain of victory anymore - they are starting to doubt, think twice ... and jostle for the exits. best wishes andrew hennessey - End forwarded message - This message was sent by Easymail - http://www.easynet.co.uk/
[CTRL] [BRC-ANN] Emergency Appeal on Behalf of Black People
I Emergency Coalition Against Police Brutality* Press Release For Immediate Release 29 July 2000 AN EMERGENCY APPEAL TO THE WORLD ON BEHALF OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE Contact: Anthony Monteiro [EMAIL PROTECTED], Emergency Coalition Against Police Brutality* Philadelphia, PA -- In 1951 William L Patterson and Paul Robeson petitioned the UN charging the US government with the high crime of genocide against Black Americans. In 1964 Malcolm X spoke before the Organization of African Unity again charging the US government with violating the human rights of African Americans. In recent years various Black organizations and individuals have appeared before UN committees and agencies and have appealed to foreign governments to intercede on our behalf. We have called on the international media to alert world public opinion, international organizations, governments and non-governmental organizations, to the growing peril that the African American people face. In two days 45,000 delegates and active supporters of the Republican Party will converge on this city to nominate their Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and to adopt a platform. While they celebrate, tens of thousands of African Americans will be under police lock down and occupation of their communities. This reality manifests the two nations, separate and unequal, nature of race relations in the United States. This situation, in its essentials, is identical to apartheid colonialism of the South African type. An accurate understanding of the nature of Black oppression is critical to mobilizing international support to prevent what we believe could eventuate in a great human catastrophe; genocide. Since the passage of the Comprehensive Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 the situation for the majority of African Americans has worsened. Socio-economic and housing data show that African Americans are more unequal than in the 1960's. A Black middle class has emerged with greater opportunity, income and wealth; albeit, no where near the level of the white middle class. Eighty percent of our people are, however, more segregated (the majority of the working class and poor in deteriorating ghettoes), more unemployed and under- employed, more criminalized, undereducated and homeless than 40 years ago. The situation resembles the period of legal segregation known as Jim Crow, which was constructed after the Civil War. Rather than a rural, peasant, population, today we are overwhelming urban and working class. The legal gains of the 1960's have been trumped by the structural violence brought on by the rapaciousness of neo-liberal economic policies, imperialist globalization and the anti-African American policies championed by the Republican and Democratic Parties. A stunning reflection of this is rising infant mortality and a lowering life expectancy for African Americans. One study indicates that Black men living in Harlem have a lower life expectancy than men living in Bangladesh. When this is combined with the spread of HIV/AIDS, cancers of every type, heart disease and hypertension the outcomes are horrifying. Moreover, in spite of the catastrophic health emergency in the Black community, we have less access to health care than any group in the nation. From a socio-economic, health and demographic standpoint the conditions of Africans in America resemble those of many nations of the developing world. Of alarming and overriding significance at this moment is the political and legal status of Africans in America. African Americans are being deprived of their citizenship rights. As such, we are becoming a stateless people. In 1857, in the landmark Dred Scott Decision, Chief Justice Roger Taney declared, " a black man has no rights a white man need respect". We are returning to that legal doctrine. Approximately 3.5 million adult African Americans are without the elementary right to vote due to imprisonment, being on parole, probation or some other way under the control of the criminal justice system. In several states, including Pennsylvania, former prisoners who have completed their sentences are denied the right to vote for up to five years. Jury pools, which are drawn from voter lists, as a result, eliminate large numbers of Africans in America. Tens of thousands of Black people are, therefore, denied the right to a jury of their peers. Prosecutors and judges, at the same time, conspire to eliminate eligible Blacks from juries. These practices violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the voting rights provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Yet, this is but the tip of the iceberg. Systematic and violent police attacks upon and murders of Black people is predicated upon the devaluation of Black life and the idea that we are merely second or third class citizens; a status

[CTRL] News: Article: Ken Richey series - Edinburghnews.com
From: "Karen and Kenny" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:First Day in series of Articles about Kenny Richey Case Date sent: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 17:04:54 +0100 First part of a week long series of interviews on Kenny's case. http://www.edinburghnews.com/ http://www.edinburghnews.com/taf/cl.taf.html VICTIM: Cynthia Collins was just two when she died in the fire Kenny Richey is said to have started In the heat of a deadly night Kenny Richey insists he's innocent of the murder of Cynthia Collins. So what really did happen that summer night? JENNIFER VEITCH "IT felt like my skin was melting . . . my lungs felt like they were boiling . . ." Kenny Richey's deep voice trails off as he recalls his desperate, unsuccessful attempt to rescue two-year-old Cynthia Collins from her blazing apartment. As the flames licked around him, he knew he was putting his life in danger - what he didn't realise was the real threat would come six months later - when three judges sentenced him to die in Ohio's electric chair. Now languishing on Death Row after his conviction for starting the fire, he vividly recalls the night in June 1986 which began with a drunken party and ended in tragedy. Kenny was on his way out to his father's car when, he says, he saw lights and heard sirens. He realised his friend Hope Collins' apartment was on fire - and remembered that her daughter, Cynthia, was alone inside. "I noticed a woman with four kids running, and I looked and saw light from a fire, and smoke," the 35-year-old says, his Edinburgh accent still surprisingly strong. "It looked like it was coming from a second-storey apartment, so I took off running and discovered it was Hope's apartment that was on fire. "I tried to get in. There was somebody already up there, a neighbour, I cannae mind his name. He grabbed a hold of me - said I was crazy. He said 'you go in there and you'll just die' - I said 'there's a kid in there, there's a kid in there'. "I ran in, broke away from his grip, and I got to the entrance to the hallway, and that was just about as far as I could get. "It felt like my skin was melting, and my lungs . . . my lungs just felt like they were boiling . . . There was a big sheet of fire. "There was a lot of heat coming off the sofa, and flames, and it was like a barrier. I couldnae go any further." He pauses before adding, bitterly: "Many's the time I wish I'd just said 'f**k it' and just run straight through. Three times I tried, and didn't manage it." Kenny, who has so far had 13 execution dates, maintains his innocence. There are two things nobody disputes about that night: one is that an innocent child died, and the other is that the Scot, then aged 21, tried to save her. Across the fields bordering the small rural town of Columbus Grove, Ohio, volunteer fireman Keith Hartoon could see the glow of the fire as he got up to answer the emergency call from the Old Farm Village apartments. By the time he reached the scene, he recalls, flames were shooting out of the building ten or 15 feet into the air - but Kenny was still struggling to get in. "He was just yelling that the kid was in the back bedroom," he says. "He was being restrained by a couple of other firemen at the time - they had to physically remove him." There was no way anyone could have made it through the blaze to save Cynthia. "I took one hit of that smoke and it was bad stuff - with that smoke, you took one hit and you knew you couldn't take another," he says. "Nobody could have made it through that smoke that night. Everything was burning." Once the blaze was under control, Keith says, Cynthia was found lying face down next to her bed. She had died from smoke inhalation, a few days before her third birthday. Still visibly upset by the memory, Keith adds: "The little girl's death really bugged me quite heavily, because my daughters were one and three at the time. "If you have seen a dead body, it doesn't make you feel very good at all. I refused to go back into the scene." The events leading up to the tragedy that sealed Cynthia's - and Kenny's - fate started early in the afternoon with a drunken party on the landing between 21-year-old Hope Collins' apartment, A-13, and that of neighbour Peggy Price. Their friend Kenny, then living with his American father at the low-income apartment complex, was also there, as was Candy Barchet, who lived in a flat below. Like Hope and Peggy, Candy was a young single mother. She had moved in two weeks earlier and started dating Kenny within a couple of days. The pair had a short-lived but intense sexual relationship, but after a week it was on the rocks after Kenny walked in on Candy having sex
Re: [CTRL] *Bonus March* FDR or Herbert Hoover?
Hoover honestly believed that each of the Bonus Marchers--and each victim of the Great Depression--was responsible for picking himself up by his own bootstraps. He considered it immoral for government at any level to bail out any individual. What he did not realize, of course, was that the Depression was being manipulated by the bankers to their own benefit in the United States just as much as in Germany...or if he was aware of that something was going on refused to recognize that it overrode his own Quaker principles. For all of his international experience and organizational acumen, Hoover was remarkably naive about some aspects of the world he found himself in. - Original Message - From: "Kris Millegan" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2000 12:00 PM Subject: Re: [CTRL] *Bonus March* FDR or Herbert Hoover? snip The remnents of the Bonus Marchers (Congress had appropriated money to send the marchers home, but about 2000 out of the peak 17,000 refused to leave their tent city) were forced out by cavalry under Douglas MacArthur on 28 July 1932. That makes it Hoover. Not quite. Congress never budgeted nor approriated the money. They authorized a program to give out the money, at some future date. The marchers were so poor they went to Washington in the hope that they could convince the government to give them the money immediately. When no money was forthcoming they had nowhere else to go. Hoover had no choice, he had opposed the program since there was no money for it, then had to take resposibility for congress's ineptness by sending in the troops to diperse the crowd. Frankly if I were hoover I would have personally bought some kerosine and matches, given it to the marchers along with the local residential addresses of every member of congress who voted for the program. They could then have gone to each member's house and said, "Fulfill your promise or lose your house."

The vote was a response to mounting evidence of "massive election fraud" by the Buchanan campaign, which submitted nearly 500,000 ballot requests on behalf of ineligible primary voters. "Pat Buchanan has committed political suicide. He was caught perpetrating what may be the most massive election fraud in U.S. political history," said quantum physicist John Hagelin, who has been locked in a close primary race against Buchanan. "Fortunately, democracy is alive and well in the Reform Party. I congratulate the Executive Committee for standing up for Reform Party principles, and against the strong-arm tactics of Pat and Bay Buchanan." A recent survey of 1,000 Independence/Reform Party voters in New York found Hagelin with a commanding lead in the popular plebiscite. According to Manhattan County Chair Cathy Stewart, over 700 people had voted or intended to cast votes for Hagelin, while only one person identified himself as a likely Buchanan voter. "Buchanan resorted to desperate measures when it became clear that this was a popular vote he could not win. But this time, Pat went too far," Hagelin said. "Pat Buchanan tried to cheat the Reform Party members and wound up cheating only himself," said Russ Verney, former Reform Party national chair. "He had a wonderful opportunity to build and lead a party of principle, integrity, and values. Instead, he chose the low road of politics-as-usual." Hagelin and Verney will discuss the future of the Reform Party and the Hagelin presidential campaign at a news conference on Monday, July 31, 10:00 a.m., at the Dallas Press Club.

[CTRL] Fw: Will Buchanan prevail against the Perotistas?
- Original Message - From: "Larry Petkov" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: snipped Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2000 10:16 PM Subject: [July30] will Buchanan prevail against the Perotistas July 30 in Philly - www.unity2000.com Published Saturday, July 29, 2000 Buchanan Removed From Ballot By KELLIE B. GORMLY / Associated Press Writer DALLAS (AP) -- Members of the Reform Party' s executive committee voted Saturday to remove Pat Buchanan' s name from the party' s presidential ballot, but Buchanan campaign officials called the action " bogus" and without any standing. " It means absolutely nothing, " declared Bay Buchanan, the candidate' s sister and national co-chair of the Buchanan campaign. " There' s absolutely no question that Pat' s still on the ballot." Seven members of the executive committee voted unanimously to remove Buchanan' s name from ballots to be mailed to party members, according to Jim Mangia, the party' s secretary. He acknowledged the group' s decision could be overturned by the party' s 164-member national committee when it meets Aug. 8. If not reversed, the committee' s decision would place Iowa physicist JohnHagelin as the party' s presumed candidate for president. But the Buchanan camp dismissed the executive committee vote entirely. Bay Buchanan, calling the action " irrelevant, " said the 10-member committee did not have any standing because it did not have a proper quorum. Two of the seven people who voted against Buchanan were removed from the committee some time ago, she maintained. Mangia could not be reached late Saturday to respond to the claims by Buchanan campaign officials. Buchanan was " hijacking the party" and thus had eliminated himself as a legitimate candidate, Mangia told colleagues at a meeting at an airport hotel, where the members of the executive committee met. " We are a party that was created on the principles of reform -- integrity and accountability, " Mangia said. " It' s astounding ... these kinds of dirty tricks." Seven of the 10 members on the party' s executive committee attended the meeting -- the majority of whom are supporters of party founder Ross Perot. They discussed Buchanan for about two hours before voting. Even before the vote, Buchanan spokesman Brian Doherty dismissed the effort as frivolous and called the allegations " false and outrageous." " They' re just doing everything they can to obstruct us or impede Buchanan' s nomination, " Doherty said Saturday before the vote. " They can' t defeat us legitimately, so they go about it trying to defeat us in other ways." Under party rules, the 164-member national committee will review the executive committee' s decision when it meets Aug. 8 in Long Beach, Calif. By a two-thirds vote, members could reverse the executive committee' s decision. " Anything the executive committee does today is a publicity stunt if anything, " said Bob Belcher, the party' s Alabama state chairman and a professed neutral. Buchanan left the Republican Party last October to seek the Reform nomination. Buchanan and Hagelin are competing for the party nod in the primary, which is a mail-in vote for party members and others who have asked for a ballot. Hagelin and Perot loyalists accused the Buchanan camp earlier this week of illegally padding the lists of ballot recipients with people from his Republican donor lists. At stake was control of the party apparatus and $12.6 million in federal election funds that go to the party' s nominee. Copyright 2000 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

The party' s chairman said the move will not stand. Members of the party' s executive committee announced Saturday night they had tossed Buchanan off the ballot by a 7-0 vote. But party chairman Gerald Moan said Sunday the action was not legitimate because two of those present were no longer committee members and without them the committee had no quorum. " Pat Buchanan remains on the primary ballot and balloting will continue, " said Moan. " The national committee ultimately will decide what to do (about the ballot) when it meets August 8." Buchanan said his opponents pulled off a hoax " and everybody went for the bait." " All they can hope to do is derail the nomination and put it in court, " he added in an interview Sunday with The Associated Press. Later, Buchanan told nearly 100 supporters at a fund-raiser in Sterling, Va., that " the reports of my political death are premature." Nevertheless, both sides in the dispute made impassioned arguments that party rules are on their side. " If fairness and objectivity are going to rule the day, Pat Buchanan will be the nominee of this party, " said Bay Buchanan, the candidate' s sister and national co-chair of his campaign. " We have won it if they play by the rules." But Jim Mangia, party secretary and a Buchanan opponent, accused Buchanan of trying a " hostile takeover of the party." He said the recall in the last month of two members of the executive committee -- two that voted Saturday night to dump Buchanan -- was itself illegitimate. " All factions of the party are united against Buchanan. If you want to rope a bucking bronco and bring him down, it takes a few steps. We just took the first step, " said Mangia. The Reform Party' s national committee meets Aug. 8 in Long Beach, Calif., where both sides will argue their case. The next big power struggle is over control of the credentials committee there, which could affect who gets to participate in the national committee meeting. The Reform Party' s convention is Aug. 10-13, also in Long Beach. JohnHagelin, an Iowa physicist running against Buchanan for the Reform nomination, said " Buchanan' s campaign is imploding and way behind in the popular primary vote." " The situation is that the Buchanan campaign is trying to throw a wrench into every one of the governing bodies of the Reform Party, " said Mangia. " They' re trying to subvert the process to steal the nomination and make off with $12.5 million." Hagelin has demanded an audit of a list of 500, 000 Buchanan supporters to see if they are eligible to vote in the Reform Party' s nominating process, either as party members or signers of state ballot access petitions. K.B. Forbes, a Buchanan spokesman, countered that the party' s nominating committee Friday night defeated measures that would have disqualified Buchanan from the nomination. The forces trying to derail the Buchanan nomination are the same people that had vowed to stop Buchanan " in Texas and California where he won the majority of delegates in each of those states, " said Forbes.

[CTRL] Abortion, Pro and Con...
Two items from the July30 list. I am posting these merely as an example of how extremely complex issues such as abortion can be. It's up to each person, ISTM, to decide where the *real* "ultimate elitism" lies...or, perhaps, whether it may not lie in *both* positions equally. A very wise older woman once said something that stunned me. I asked what her view was on abortion, curious as to what her unique experience as both an organic chemist and an electrical engineer had shown her. Her answer: "Life begins *at birth.*" Think about it. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2000 9:27 AM Subject: [July30] Abortion "rights": The Ultimate In Elitism July 30 in Philly - www.unity2000.com REMINDING ALL OF YOU THERE IS NO FREEDOM OR LIBERTY WITHOUT LIFE! How can any of you claim to love freedom when you want to deny a human being the right to live? The following article underlines the fact that to be in favor of the "right" to abortion is the ULTIMATE IN ELITISM. From: News and Views | Opinion | Wednesday, July 05, 2000 Time for the Abortion Pill? No, it devalues human life By GEORGE J. MARLIN For more than a century, U.S. elitists known as eugenicists have advocated disposing of undesirables - the poor, immigrants, the handicapped. America's leading families - the Rockefellers, Harrimans, Carnegies and Eastmans - funded the Cold Spring Harbor Eugenics Laboratory, Eugenics Record Office and the American Eugenics Society. These groups promoted the view of forebear Karl Pearson "that the state might well have to intervene in reproductive matters at least in families of anti-social propagators of unnecessary human beings." One of contemporary feminism's greatest heroines, Margaret Sanger, said in 1921 that eugenics is "suggested by the most diverse minds as the most adequate and thorough avenues to the solution of racial, political and social problems." Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, openly admitted "more children for the fit, less from the unfit, that is the chief issue of birth control." Today, eugenicists argue for a political agenda under the guise of "liberal," "scientific" or "scholarly" interests. In the name of "compassion" and "choice," they lobby legislators and judges to sanction abortion, infanticide and geronticide. The heirs of Sanger are now popping champagne corks because they expect Food and Drug Administration approval of their latest potion to rid the world of undesirables: RU-486, the abortion pill. Women's rights activist Peg Yorkin donated $10 million to the Feminist Majority Foundation to make RU-486 available in the U.S. Alex Sanger, who now heads the so-called family planning organization his grandmother founded, describes their efforts as "one of the most important victories in this century." These ideologues expect this pill to place the transmission of human life into ethically neutral terrain. By chemically emptying the womb of growing life, they hope to limit the abortion debate to biological propositions. What they fail to grasp is that regardless of the technique that induces abortion, the moral gravity of the action does not change. The human embryo is not a biological by-product. Hence, even a government-approved abortion pill cannot be viewed as equivalent to taking Ex-Lax. At the Nuremberg trials, doctors who practiced Nazi eugenics were convicted of crimes against humanity. The court rejected the Nazi doctors' "scientific" dehumanization of Jews, Catholics, Slavs and Gypsies and embraced instead the Judeo-Christian view of the human being as a person who is precious and possesses intrinsic rights. The prerequisite for all rights, the inalienable right to life, cannot justly be taken by the state with regulated abortion drugs because the state has no power to grant this right. The person's inalienable rights are granted by God, the author of human nature. They are natural rights precisely because, as Thomas Jefferson put it, they are "the gift of God." From Jefferson to Martin Luther King, Americans have understood the laws of nature and of nature's God as the great guardians of the soul of democracy, which rests on the intrinsic value of the person. Therefore, whether an abortion is induced by a pill or other means, it is still a grave and immoral attack upon the inviolability of the human person, and as such represents a threat to the dignity of all of us.

[CTRL] Islamic Jihad Leader Warns U.S. Over Embassy
On Mon, 31 Jul 2000 10:14:04 -0700 Claudia K White [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Activist Mailing List - http://get.to/activist Islamic Jihad Leader Warns U.S. Over Embassy Reuters Jul 31 2000 12:35PM ET BEIRUT (Reuters) - The leader of the militant Islamic Jihad group told Washington Monday that moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem would be akin to declaring war on the Palestinians. ``The U.S. administration is fully responsible for the consequences of such an act of aggression and should expect a response from the Palestinian people at the proper time and place,'' said Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ramadan Shallah, who is based in Damascus. ``We consider the threats made by Bill Clinton to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem as a statement of war against our people and our Muslim holy sites,'' he told Reuters and the Qatari Al-Jazeera television network from his office in Beirut. President Clinton said Friday he would seriously consider moving the embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, adding that a decision would be made by the end of the year. His comments brought a bloody warning from Lebanon's Islamist Hizbollah guerrilla organization which threatened to destroy the U.S. mission and kill its diplomats if it was moved to Jerusalem. The status of Jerusalem, a city holy to Christians, Muslims and Jews alike, is one of the thorniest issues in Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations. Israel wants the city as its undivided capital while the Palestinians claim the eastern quarter, which was annexed by Israel in 1967, as the capital of a future state. Disputes over Jerusalem were at the heart of the collapse of last week's Palestinian-Israel peace summit at Camp David. The United States and Israel have blamed the meeting's failure on Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, who in turn said Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak had wanted him to give up the rights of his people in exchange for peace. Shallah, whose group has killed scores of Israelis in suicide bomb attacks inside the Jewish state, said Clinton's comments on moving the embassy and the failure at Camp David were proof that jihad (holy war) and not negotiations were the way for Palestinians to regain their homeland. ``We consider the U.S. threats related to the embassy as a new call for the Palestinian Authority to stop gambling on negotiations and to start banking on its people and their ability,'' he said. ``Negotiations are a waste of time, they meddle with the future of our people. The only choice we should bank on is jihad and resistance such as that practiced by Hizbollah.'' Islamist Hizbollah (Party of God), backed by Iran and Syria, led the war of attrition against Israel's 22-year-old occupation of south Lebanon, which ended on May 24. Islamic Jihad fighters took part in some Hizbollah operations against the occupation.

[CTRL] Fwd: Plutonium Culture
On Mon, 31 Jul 2000 02:53:50 - Oscar Patterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Agent Smiley" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Brad Pierce) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy,alt.save.the.earth,alt.individualism Subject: A plutonium economy vs. a free democracy Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 20 Nov 92 02:08:20 GMT Organization: UCLA, Computer Science Department Lines: 269 [From "The Russian Threat, Its Myths and Realities" (c) 1983, Gateway Books, London, by Jim Garrison and Pyrae Shivpuri, pp 231- 236.] The growing erosion of civil liberties in Western Europe and the United States is closely linked with the nuclear energy-nuclear weapons complex, which mandates a psyche all its own. This complex creates the necessity for secrecy on the one hand and greater protection of investment on the other. Not only are there high financial and environmental risks but also potential ramifications beyond national boundaries. Because of the `plutonium culture' generated by the nuclear complex, the age old dilemma of striking a balance between state authority and the rights of the individual is being forced to opt for increasing state control, and diminishing individual freedom. The plutonium culture allows for no other choice. Each operating nuclear reactor produces between 400 to 600 pounds of plutonium waste each year. Less than one millionth of a gram, if ingested, can cause cancer and/or genetic mutation. Twenty pounds, if properly fashioned, can be made into a nuclear bomb. Because of this, *the different aspects of the plutonium economy must be as tightly guarded as nuclear weapons themselves*. Nuclear weapons are kept at military facilities generally away from population centres and specifically under guard in a military system predicated upon discipline, hierarchy and authoritarian leadership. Similar protection for the `atoms for peace' programme will have a devastating impact upon the democratic freedoms and civil liberties of the citizens. The potential problem with the plutonium economy and its relation to human freedom has been succinctly expressed by a statement made by Dr. Bernard Feld, Chairperson of the Atomic and High Energy Physics Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Let me tell you about a nightmare I have. The Mayor of Boston sends for me for an urgent consultation. He has received a note from a terrorist group telling him that they have planted a nuclear bomb somewhere in central Boston. The Mayor has confirmed that 20 pounds of plutonium is missing from Government stocks. He shows me the crude diagram and a set of the terrorists outrageous demands. I know--as one of those who participated in the assembly of the first atomic bomb--that the device would work. Not efficiently, but nevertheless with devastating effect. What should I do? Surrender to blackmail or risk destroying my home town?[9] The dangers are real, so real that government planners in every country with nuclear programmes have undertaken steps to be prepared for Dr. Feld's scenario. In 1975, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) commissioned a specific study of the problem. One of the participants, Professor John Barton, Professor of Jurisprudence at Stanford University Law School, prepared a paper entitled `Intensified Nuclear Safeguards and Civil Liberties.' The document began by stating that: Increased public concern with nuclear terrorism, coupled with the possibility of greatly increased use of plutonium in civilian power reactors, are leading the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to consider various forms of intensified safeguards against theft or loss of nuclear materials and against *sabotage*. The intensified safeguards could include expansion of personnel clearance programs, a nationwide guard force, *greater surveillance of dissenting political groups,* area searches in the event of a loss of materials, and creation of *new barriers of secrecy* around parts of the nuclear program.[10] It is important to be clear what the above statement implies. The governments supporting nuclear power are attempting to protect the plutonium economy from two perceived enemies: first, those who would use the nuclear materials to terrorise the country through some type of nuclear sabotage; and second, those who seek to stop nuclear power, meaning anti-nuclear `dissenting political groups'. This requires a nationwide guard force to be created specifically to deal with any terrorism and the erection of new barriers of secrecy around the nuclear programmes to keep public knowledge and participation at a minimum. Both sets of enemies would be subject to greater surveillance through electronic listening devices such as phone taps. In Britain, for instance, it is accepted as a matter of course that anyone working for the Atomic Energy Authority be `positively

On Mon, 31 Jul 2000 02:55:21 - Oscar Patterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Agent Smiley" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it. Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure. This American government--what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves. But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have. Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow. Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way. For government is an expedient, by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it. Trade and commerce, if they were not made of india-rubber, would never manage to bounce over obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way; and if one were to judge these men wholly by the effects of their actions and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be classed and punished with those mischievious persons who put obstructions on the railroads. But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at one no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it. After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But a government in which the majority rule in all cases can not be based on justice, even as far as men understand it. Can there not be a government in which the majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience?--in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable? Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? WHy has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right. It is truly enough said that a corporation has no conscience; but a corporation on conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience. Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents on injustice. A common and natural result of an undue respect for the law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart. They have no doubt that it is a damnable business in which they are concerned; they are all peaceably inclined. Now, what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts

[CTRL] 4 Netherlanders stopped for attempted murder of Milosevic
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Subject: 9112] 4 Dutchman arrested RFY: 4 Netherlanders stopped for attempted murder of Milosevic BELGRADE (AFP) - a group of four Netherlanders, accused of preparing the removal and the assassination of Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, were recently arrested in Yugoslavia, announced on Monday in Belgrade the federal Minister for Information Goran Matic. " The Yugoslav security services put the hand on four members of a special Dutchwoman unit, whose mission was to enter to Yugoslavia (... and, according to their confessions, they were to try to kill president Milosevic or to make other terrorist acts on our territory ", declared Mr. Matic during a press conference. The minister did not specify when the Yugoslav forces had carried out these arrests, stating only that they had been operated " before " the conference of G8 in Okinawa (Japan), which was held from the 21 to July 23. According to the minister, the arrests were carried out in Serbia, not far from the border with Montenegro. The video film of part of the interrogation of the four men was presented to the journalists. One of the men, dressed in military uniform and presenting himself as " Johanes Adrianus Cornelius Van Irshel ", declared on this video, which one is unaware of the circumstance of turning: " if we would have met him (Milosevic), it would have been easy to seize him, to put him in a box and to transfer him on the roof of a car from the country ". Questioned on what the commando planned to do if this plan would have proven to be unrealizable, he answered " Sando -. nickname of the one of the other men -. had envisaged to remove him and kill the president, to cut his head and to send it in the box back to home " (the Netherlands). Another indicates that the plan of the commando was to kill " an important personality ", without revealing his name, and to claim " a large amount of money to the international Penal Court " based in the Hague. Mr. Matic showed the Western services the information to have dispatched the four men on the Yugoslav ground, quoting the British Service of action HOPPER which, has it says, " A involved well ". The arrested people, in addition to Johanes Adrianus Cornelius Van Jarsel, answer the names of Gotfrides Johanes, Antonius De Rij and Tietje Samvordijan, according to the phonetic transcription of the names given by Mr. Matic.

The decision by General Mills to stop releasing any more CDROMs at all was a surprise to the developers of the product. "Putting Zondervan's Protestant version of the Bible -- the New International Version -- in cereal boxes is offensive, said Rabbi James Rudin, the interreligious consultant for the American Jewish Committee in New York. ""I eat General Mills products myself, and I don't think it's right for any American to pick up a box of cereal in the morning and feel excluded," said Rudin. "This is one particular version of the Bible they're offering -- and America is multi-religious, multi-ethnic. When Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Taoists and millions of other Americans pick up this box of cereal and look at this Bible -- they are excluded."" Why not issue all sorts of books in cereal boxes, so nobody feels excluded? Would that not be better than no books at all? Free books are cool, but why should people bitch at all? It's as if some people truly labor to be miserable. Are Americans becoming that hypersensitive or is that the whiners are becoming that much more vocal? I'm annoyed with their annoyance. When Americans eat "Quaker" brand oatmeal and think it is an affirmation of multicultural capitalism without any reference to religion one has to wonder about what has happened to our world. But I'll leave the field to the folks from Pennsylvania to comment on this now :-) Some wouldn't think it were "an affirmation of multicultural capitalism without any reference to religion". To some, quite the opposite is their reality--an affirmation powered by Christian cultists hypnotizing us with the Smiling Man as we doze through breakfast. ;) I'm not alert enough before sunrise to worry over non-essential intellectual matters.

[CTRL] Echelon Investigator Under Surveillance
http://216.167.120.50/echelon-coelho.htm 14 July 2000. Thanks to Frederico Duarte. -- TALQUAL, Lisbon weekly newspaper Friday, 14 July 2000 Translated from the original Portuguese article by the author, Frederico Duarte Coelho under surveillance The European Parliament has chosen the Portuguese European Parliament Member MP Carlos Coelho to lead the investigation on "Echelon,", the worldwide eavesdropping system. The Portuguese is going to be the man that, for a year, will be under the most stringent surveillance of the world of espionage The Portuguese European Parliament Member, Carlos Coelho, of PSD (Partido Social Democrata, Social-Democrat Party, member of the Christian Democrat group in the European Parlament-EP), newly-appointed president of the investigation committee of the EP that, starting in September, will investigate the Echelon spy system, will be the most watched man in the world during the next year. "My telephones, faxes and e-mails might already be under surveillance," he told a TalQual reporter this week with a shrug of shoulders that shows his perfect awareness of the situation. Originally from Lisbon, where he was born 40 years ago, Carlos Coelho was president of the Young Social-Democrats and became the youngest MP in Europe at the age of 19 when he replaced the late MP Natália Correia in the Portuguese national parliament. His personality is marked by a very peculiar sense of humour that makes him, for instance, wear ties with rabbit images (in Portuguese Coelho = rabbit), which is enough to break with protocol rules in the most serious situations. Carlos Coelho was also one of the youngest Portuguese government member when he was the under-secretary to the minister of Education Manuela Ferreira Leite. Now, his election for "first-vigilant" of Echelon is due to the fact that he¹s a member of the Committe on Citizen¹s Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs at the EP. On the other hand, if our man in Strasbourg faces any difficulty penetrating the complex world of espionage, he can always hope for advice from his colleague and leader of the PSD MP¹s at the EP, Pacheco Pereira, the author of the introductory text of the Portuguese version of the most polemical espionage book since the end of the Cold War: The Mitrokhin Archive, which will be published next November in Portugal. Industrial espionage Carlos Coelho is going to co-ordinate a group of 36 MPs for a year, starting next September. "There's a system which is organized and controlled by the American secret services which has the capacity to intercept practically all forms of communication of voice and data at a planetary scale," Carlos Coelho said last March to the European Committee, in Brussels. After the Berlin Wall fell and the end of Cold War between the United States and the former USSR, this powerful surveillance system known as Echelon "was directed not with purely military and defence intentions, but with commercial, industrial and tecnological goals," the Portuguese MP also said. Several journalistic investigations about Echelon, the most recent made by Duncan Campbell, shows well how information gathered by the spy satellites from the USA ruined important business of European companies. In 1994, for instance, the system intercepted telephone calls between the French company Thomson-CSF and the Brasilian SIVAM to negotiate a surveillance system in the Amazon jungle. After those telephone interceptions, bribe allegations were raised that the French had tried to buy over a member of the Brasilian governmental board. In the end, the business went to the American company Raytheon, the same that is in charge of the maintenance and engineering services of the American Echelon base in Sugar Grove, Virginia, in the US. A year later it was the turn of the aviation company Airbus, also French, to be the victim of the action of the US spies. According to the Duncan Campbell report the American satellites got access to every fax and telephone call between Airbus, the government and members of the air force of Saudi Arabia. The agents found that the French were offering a bribe to a Saudi official. Thanks to this information, the Americans won the 6 billion dollar business that went to Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Allies One additional problem for Carlos Coelho is that one of the partners of the Americans on this spy system is the United Kingdom, also a member of the European Union. "If France tells us that we can't have acess to certain information because they consider it to be a state secret, we are not going to insist on the request. As for UK, the case might be different...," explained Carlos Coelho this week to TalQual. "In September, I will start co-ordinating the group, first asking the nations involved on Echelon for the necessary co-operation. Only afterwards will I see
[CTRL] FBI, DEA, Minneapolis Police Raid Activist House
On Sun, 30 Jul 2000 00:01:17 -0500 (CDT) Lyn Gerry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear All, I am sending this message in the hopes that stations will cover this incident on their programs. I sure intend to. Lyn Original Message Subject: BAN: FBI, DEA, Minneapolis Police Raid Activist House at ISAG protestsSisters Camelot House Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 01:08:34 -0400 FBI, DEA, Minneapolis Police Raid Sisters Camelot House at ISAG protests (Mpls, MN) Police and the FBI are waging an undeclared war. It is a war fought on behalf of powerful corporate interests, fought against people who are organizing for positive social change. After a genuine peoples show of power last November in Seattle, movements for change have been revitalized, alliances are strengthening, new strategies are developing, and corporate interests are on the defensive. The FBI and police, however, are on the offensive, attacking activists, organizers, and the community infrastructure which supports them. Over the past few days Minneapolis has witnessed an obscene undermining of basic constitutional and human rights. The constitution was shat upon in the days leading up to the protests against ISAG (International Society for Animal Genetics), as police openly conspired to rob people of their first-amendment right to freely assemble. Pepperspray, rubber bullets and clubs were used brutally against peaceful protesters (and journalists). The FBI has busied itself by ridiculously turning prankster "stink-bomb" incidents into "terrorist acts" with "dangerous cyanide". Although they are providing zero evidence for these outlandish claims, the uncritical corporate media has eaten every word, resulting in an effective slander campaign--which has gone nation-wide-- painting activists as terrorists. Late last night (Monday) after the downtown protests, the FBI, DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) and Minneapolis Police raided the Sisters Camelot house, using terribly brutal force (as is described below in a detailed personal account of the raid). Sisters Camelot is a non-profit free food distribution operation, and their house has been a known gathering place for people who have been organizing to protest ISAG. These outrageous "law-enforcement" actions have not happened in a vacuum. Over the past several months there has been a steady, rapid escalation in the campaign to marginalize activists and to attack the community infrastructure which supports them. We are witnessing this in Minneapolis, we are hearing reports of this across the county. This is a peoples movement to take back meaningful decision-making power for our communities. We value everyone who is part of this movement. We refuse to let anyone in this movement be marginalized. We value our community resources. We will not just let the power elite bulldoze our parks (Minnehaha), close down our cooperatives and collectives (Hard Times Cafe), raid our houses (Sisters Camelot), jail our friends and make our city into a police state. Robert Czernick (aka Tumbleweed) was beaten very badly last night in the raid, and is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow at 1:30PM. Please go to the Hennepin County Government Center to support him. Many defendents, arrested yesterday during (and fleeing from) the protests, are scheduled for arraignment on August 11th, 9AM. Please support Sisters Camelot in whatever action they choose to take. Send legal fund donations to: Sisters Camelot / Legal Fund 3118 Grand Ave. S. Minneapolis, MN 55408 Info about the raid: * A search warrant for the Sisters Camelot house was obtained on Friday, July 21 and not used until Monday, July 25 after the protests against ISAG. * The warrant was intended to find evidence of drug trafficking. * Items stolen from house include: three computer hard drives, Coldwater Cafe bus, ISAG patches, activist literature, floppy disks, files, etc. Musical instruments and other personal items were broken. * Three undercover police officers, who had taken pictures of activists at Sunday's march, were present at the raid. *Eleven people were arrested, some of which were beaten to the point that they were unrecognizable. There were many other violations of basic constitutional and human rights. One personal account: "A large gang of law enforcement busted through the front door of the Sisters Camelot house screaming and telling people to "get on your faces". Apparently, no one moved fast enough as the police threw people down and kicked them.Robert Czernick was referred to by the police by his nickname "Tumbleweed" and kicked repeatedly in his face until he stopped moving. When he didn't answer the police, they shoved their knuckles into his throat and continued kicking him. When he requested first-aid he was laughed at. Another person was beaten in the basement by about ten police officers. "After approximately fifteen minutes of extremely high tension, they forced us to sit up, covered our heads with
[CTRL] Fwd: Condolezza Rice Bio
San Jose Mercury News Posted at 1:10 a.m. PDT Sunday, July 30, 2000 Forging a course of her own Condoleezza Rice, former Stanford provost, moves in GOP's inner circle BY JIM PUZZANGHERA Mercury News Washington Bureau BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Condoleezza Rice's résumé stretches into four single-spaced pages, plenty of room to sketch a stunning career but offering only a hint of perhaps her most significant accomplishment. That she grew up black here when this city was the epicenter of the civil rights movement in the early 1960s, emerging unscathed and inspired, is all but lost amid an avalanche of achievements. A college graduate at 19. A master's degree by 20, with a doctorate to follow. A Stanford University professor, then its provost. The top Soviet adviser to former President George Bush. Chief foreign-policy adviser to Texas Gov. George W. Bush's presidential campaign. Service on a dozen corporate and academic boards. A host of fellowships, awards and honorary degrees. All at only 45 years old. Should Bush win, Rice will probably add another bullet to her résumé: national security adviser, one of the most important posts in the White House. But to understand this woman who has become so popular and well-regarded in Republican circles that she will give a prime-time address at the party's convention Tuesday night, you need to pause near the top of the résumé. Right where she typed ``Place of Birth: Birmingham, Alabama.'' Rice was profoundly affected by growing up here during the days when segregation kept her from quenching her thirst at certain water fountains, from riding the Ferris wheel at the local fairgrounds or from trying on an Easter bonnet at some stores without first placing tissue paper over her head. ``There's a kind of security that comes from having grown up in a society where race was everything so that you're not constructing a reality about what it means to be black,'' Rice said one recent afternoon in her office at Stanford's Hoover Institution. ``And it also means that it never occurred to me that it was a problem if I wanted to study the Soviet Union instead of do civil rights law. . . . Birmingham was so grounding that then you could do almost anything.'' Unscathed, inspired: Ambitions unfettered by limits of the South As Jim Crow's walls came tumbling down, Birmingham was a dangerous place. Protesters were met by snarling police dogs and thunderous blasts from fire hoses. A bomb exploded so close to Rice's home that she could smell the stench. And as an 8-year-old she was struck by the smallness of the caskets carrying a young friend and three other girls who were killed in the infamous 1963 bombing at the city's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. The impact is evident now in many ways. It's there in the work ethic instilled by teachers who constantly told her she had to strive twice as hard to stay even with white students and three times as hard to get ahead. It's there in the confidence, fueled by her parents, that she can do anything. And it's there in her views on race that have helped her find a political home in a party that is largely white. The Republican Party ``has not been very good'' on race, she said. ``I think some of it's been neglect, some of it is there are people who hold attitudes and views that are not very good on race,'' Rice said. ``But I also think that the Republican Party has a lot of people and has some heritage to draw on that is actually quite good on race, and some solutions that look to individual initiative, and to local solutions and to entrepreneurship, that might be more effective at this point in our history as a people than continued efforts to still march in the streets. You know, it's not getting us anywhere.'' Strengthened by her childhood, Rice has marched in her own direction -- always with a deep-rooted desire to be the best. It's evident in the way she has dived into her pastimes. Photo by: Len Vaughn-Lahman Even in her pastimes, Rice excels. An accomplished pianist, she plays with a chamber music group.

What are the 'necessaries' for a lasting peace agreement?
By Charley Reese
Commentary
Published in The Orlando Sentinel on July 30, 2000
Israel and President Clinton bear full responsibility for the failure of the
Middle East peace talks.
I
srael deserves blame because it refuses to obey international law. And Clinton
deserves blame because he acted as though he was a member of the Israeli
negotiating team.
Many people may be surprised to know that the Palestinians have international
law entirely on their side. Israel has no legal claim to East Jerusalem and the
West Bank whatsoever. Actually, Israel has no legal claim to West Jerusalem,
but the Palestinians have already conceded that along with 68 percent of their
country.
The United Nations Security Council resolutions call on Israel to return the
lands it captured in the 1967 war, including East Jerusalem. The U.N. Security
Council, with the concurrence of President Jimmy Carter's administration,
declared Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem to be null and void.
Carter was successful at his Camp David summit because he had the intestinal
fortitude to pressure the Israelis to return all of the Egyptian territory they
had captured. Clinton was a failure because he tried to browbeat the
Palestinians into giving away even more of their own land.
To understand this stuff, it's essential to know the history. First, Jerusalem
has not been the capital of Israel for 3,000 years as many now proclaim. There
hasn't been an independent Jewish state in Palestine for anywhere close to that
long. The last independent Jewish entity in Palestine ended in 63 B.C. when the
Roman general Pompey conquered Jerusalem. And Jerusalem, by the way, was in
existence long before King David captured it in 1000 B.C. Nor did Jews
continuously rule the area up to the Roman conquest. They were conquered for
various periods by the larger powers in the area. The Encyclopedia Britannica
is a good source for a history of Jerusalem and Palestine.
From 63 B.C. to 1948 A.D., there was no independent Jewish state in Palestine.
The country and Jerusalem were under a succession of rulers -- Roman,
Byzantine, Arab, Turkish and British. And some of those rulers reigned for
several centuries.
In 1947, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution dividing Palestine into
Jewish and Arab areas. Jerusalem was set aside for international
administration. After Israelis did what they deny the Palestinians have a right
to do -- unilaterally proclaim themselves an independent state -- there was
war. The Israelis expanded the territory originally assigned to them, including
West Jerusalem, and at the same time created the first wave of Palestinian
refugees. A good account of this period can be found in Bitter Harvest, 4th
edition, by Sami Hadawi, a Palestinian scholar.
The formula for peace is simple. One, Israel must return the West Bank, Gaza
and East Jerusalem and recognize Palestinian sovereignty over those areas. Two,
it must acknowledge responsibility for the refugees and make some arrangement
for compensation or return. That's the Palestinian bottom line. That's what the
United Nations says must happen, and Israel continues to say no. Politicians
can try to disguise these basic facts, but nevertheless those are the
"necessaries" for a peace agreement that would have any chance of lasting.
Alas, the Palestinians have had history and international law on their side
while the Israelis have had a huge army and the American government on their
side. But what's right doesn't seem to matter because force still trumps words
on paper.
The talks failed because Clinton had the nerve to think that he could create a
legacy for his failed presidency by trampling on the Palestinians.

The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational
tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the
State among its hapless subjects. His task is to demonstrate
repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the
"democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist
by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse
of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of
taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between
the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that

has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to
accept State rule and that these intellectuals

Suddenly it's safe to second-guess the FBI/NTSB!? While covering the terrorist-missile theory, the Navy-missile theory wasn't to be mentioned once. ABCNews also notably failed to acknowledge the 30 unidentified large surface vessels below Flight 800, most of which were either in or headed toward the reported-to-be activated naval-warning zone W-105. Well, maybe next year ABCNews will discover that too, until then there's always, Ian Goddard's Journal: http://users.erols.com/igoddard/twa-core.htm = ABC NEWS BREAKS RANK LISTENS TO FLIGHT 800 WITNESSES === http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/TWA800Missile000716.html === ABCNews.com Could 100 Witnesses Have Been Mistaken? Questions Linger Over TWA Flight 800 Disaster Four Years Later Joe Lychner is accompanied by an expert as he views the wreckage of TWA Flight 800 at a hangar in Calverton, N.Y. in this Nov. 19, 1997, file photo. Lychner lost his wife and two daughters in the crash. (Mark Lennihan/AP Photo) By David Ruppe N E W Y O R K, July 17 -- Today is the fourth anniversary of one of the most mysterious, tragic and controversial air crashes in U.S. history -- the explosion of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of Long Island, which killed 230 passengers and crew. It is also roughly a month before the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is scheduled to announce the conclusions of its four-year investigation into the cause of the crash. The government's investigation of the TWA 800 crash, considered the largest and most expensive in commercial air disaster history, has been controversial from the start. In the days following, nearly 100 of more than 700 eyewitnesses interviewed by the FBI described seeing a streak of light move from the Earth leading to an explosion, which seemed to suggest a missile had struck the Boeing 747. Initially, law enforcement officials also strongly believed a criminal act -- either a bomb or a missile -- was the likeliest explanation for the catastrophic explosion, which severed the plane's front end, including the cockpit, from the rest of the fuselage. But now, government officials from the FBI, CIA and, privately, the NTSB, say they are fairly convinced no such thing occurred. All that investigators will say they know for sure is that the plane's center fuel tank blew up. To date, no single source of ignition for that explosion has been identified, although investigators say they have closed in on several possibilities. So why have government officials dismissed the missile theory? How could so many eyewitnesses be wrong? Largely because of the absence of any physical evidence supporting the theory and the unreliability of memory, current and former officials say. But ABCNEWS.com's examination of the main arguments and evidence used by various government agencies to dismiss the missile theory reveals a degree of conjecture, along with disagreements about key eyewitness accounts. Compelling Eyewitness Accounts The most compelling case for the missile theory is made by the 755 FBI records of eyewitness interviews, which were recorded on standardized FBI "FD-302" forms typically used by the bureau in court. Recently posted on the Internet and given little notice by the press, the FBI records seem to tell a dramatic story of a missile striking the plane. Ninety-six of the eyewitnesses -- from boats, from the Long Island shore, and from a nearby jet and helicopter -- described seeing a streak of light or what appeared to be a flare moving up from the Earth and eventually leading to an explosion over the Atlantic, according to the FBI reports. One eyewitness, for instance, described "what he thought was a shooting star traveling west to east, coming form the south shore, over Fire Island," an FBI agent wrote. The "object he observed was more like a bottle-rocket with a dull orange glow to it" and he "further stated that the glow moved faster than an aircraft." Yet another witness on Long Island's south shore said she observed "what appeared to be a 'contrail' which appeared to be coming from an object

[CTRL] Feinstein has fragile lead over Campbell in California Senate race
Released: July 31, 2000 Feinstein has fragile lead over Campbell in California Senate race Slips to under 50% in Horse Race Zogby Poll indicates weakness in Feinstein support Democrat Dianne Feinstein holds an 11-point lead over Republican Tom Campbell in the California Senate race according to a new Zogby International survey. But the survey also showed Feinsteins lead is under 50%. Pollster John Zogby: "This could be a close race. Feinsteins support is soft and she is not reaching 50% among likely voters. It appears that Campbell has room to grow." In the survey of 601 likely voters in California conducted between July 24-26, Feinstein led Campbell overall 48.0% - 37.3%. In close analysis Feinstein led Campbell among Bay area voters 61.1%-29.7%, and among Los Angeles and San Diego area voters 45.9% - 35%. The two were virtually tied throughout the rest of the state (Feinstein 44.3% - Campbell 42.3%). The survey has a margin of sampling error was +/- 4%. However, when respondents were informed of both candidate positions on specific issues such as drugs, education and health care, subsequent support for Campbell increased dramatically. In the survey, a majority of respondents support Campbells positions over Feinsteins on several key issues including combating illegal drugs (Campbell 57.5% - Feinstein 32%), addressing health care and HMOs (Campbell 54.2%- Feinstein 32.2%) and uses for the federal surplus (Campbell 55.7% - Feinstein 34.9%). Campbell receives strong support from voters for being known as a maverick Republican who votes his conscience instead of the straight party line. More than half (55.6%) said that image made it more likely they would support Campbell. Zogby International, an independent polling firm in Upstate New York has distinguished itself for accuracy in the past decade. It called the 1996 presidential race with pinpoint accuracy and has come closer that any other polling outfit in the U.S. in several national, state and international races.

[CTRL] WND: Navy picks U.S. team over Russia
From: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith_news/2731_xnsof_navy_picks.shtml Navy picks U.S. team over Russia Orbital Sciences wins supersonic target missile contract By Charles Smith The U.S. Navy has selected U.S. space and defense contractor Orbital Sciences to supply a new Supersonic Sea-Skimming Target missile, or SSST, passing over a Russian-built missile purchased by Boeing. Orbital's business development senior manager Michael J. Bender credits the Navy victory, in part, to the company's management strategy for an "all-American team." "We teamed with Atlantic Research and Raytheon, creating an all-American team to eliminate any geopolitical risk and avoid dependency on foreign-based contractors," emphasized Bender in an interview from Orbital's facility in Arizona. Orbital Sciences beat a combined team of U.S. defense contractor Boeing and Russian missile maker Zvezda, which had proposed an extended-range version of the MA-31 target drone, a variant of the Zvezda Kh-31 anti-radar missile. Boeing currently provides the MA-31 to the U.S. Navy under a multi-year contract with the Russian defense ministry. Orbital Sciences is slated to receive $34 million to develop and build six of the new target missiles for testing. The contract could grow to $110 million with production and support options. "We did not do a lot of marketing outside of the Navy procurement channels," noted Bender, stressing that Orbital, Atlantic Research and Raytheon engineers working on a low-risk, high-performance SSST concept played a significant role in the contract victory. "This is very good news for Orbital and for the Navy," said Bender. "We have been pursuing this contract for two years. We followed the same design approach we use in our tactical ballistic missile simulator, low-risk, low-cost designs to take advantage of existing inventories and available technologies." Bender added, "We plan to use retired standard missile boosters to boost the target to ramjet take-over speed. The Atlantic Research variable-flow ducted ramjet utilizes advanced solid fuel technology. The SSST ramjet is a robust design based on a straightforward four-inlet configuration. The [Atlantic Research] ramjet engine and inlet design combination lowers both the risks and costs associated with high-speed cruise missiles." The new Orbital target missile is intended to simulate what is seen as the number one threat to U.S. warships: the Russian-made Raduga 3M82 Moskit supersonic cruise missile. Russia recently supplied the Moskit missile on the first of two warships sold to the Chinese navy. According to the U.S. Naval Institute, each 8,480-ton Russian navy project 956A Sovremenny destroyer built for China is armed with eight Moskit supersonic sea-skimming missiles. In July, the General Accounting Office issued a report titled "Comprehensive Strategy Needed to Improve Ship Cruise Missile Defense." The General Accounting Office concluded that U.S. Navy warships are vulnerable against the new supersonic class of cruise missiles. "Although the Navy has made some progress in improving surface ship self-defense capabilities, most ships continue to have only limited capabilities against cruise-missile threats," states the General Accounting Office report. "A Navy assessment of current surface ship self-defense capabilities conducted in 1998 concluded that only the 12 Whidbey Island and Harpers Ferry-class amphibious ships have or will be equipped with defensive systems that can provide measurable improvement against near- and mid-term cruise-missile threats. "Current anti-ship cruise missiles are faster, stealthier, and can fly at lower altitudes than the missiles that hit the U.S.S. Stark in 1987, killing 37 sailors," states the report. "The next generation of anti-ship cruise missiles -- most of which are now expected to be fielded by 2007 -- will be equipped with advanced target seekers and stealthy design. These features will make them even more difficult to detect and defeat." The General Accounting Office concluded that "none of the improvements the Navy plans to make in the future would provide any ship class a high level of self-defense capability against far-term threats." In 1999, WorldNetDaily reported that a Clinton administration deal with Moscow had left the U.S. Navy without a means to simulate the supersonic anti-ship missile threat. In September 1999, the SSST project ended eight years of study without a selection, leaving the Navy without a means to test its multi-billion dollar AEGIS missile air-defense system. The move not to issue a contract in 1999 was considered a victory for the Russian Zvezda-Strela State Scientific Industrial Center, maker of the MA-31 supersonic target missile. An Aug. 31, 1999, letter to Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., issued by Navy Undersecretary H. Lee Buchanan, claimed that the Navy would only purchase a "limited number" of the Russian-made systems. According to official U.S. Navy

Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com http://www.konformist.com/botm/volume04/botm0600.htm Beast of the Month - June 2000 Hilary Rosen, CEO, Recording Industry Association of American (RIAA) "I yam an anti-Christ..." John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) of The Sex Pistols, "Anarchy in the UK" "Thanks for your support and for the doubters out there, Metallica will carry on for the next 20 years, whether your along for the ride or not, that's your problem, not ours." Lars Ulrich, showing his appreciation to his fans. In what may be one of the worst business decisions in the history of music, the rock band Metallica has waged a self-destructive battle against its own fans while fighting an ultimately unproductive war against Napster, the company behind Internet file-sharing software which drastically eases MP3 file transfer. Whining that they are victims of horrible fans who unappreciatively want to listen to their music, Lars Ulrich and his cohorts claim that the listeners of their korporate rock are ruining their ability to earn a living. During an online chat with rapidly dwindling fans, Lars urged Congress to stop Napster "before this whole Internet thing runs amok." Frankly, considering they haven't put out anything worthwhile over the last eight years, they should be grateful that anyone still listens to their crap. Still, though Lars and co. have proven themselves to be the washed up, overrated dinosaur rockers that they are, focusing too much on Metallica loses sight of the bigger picture, that Metallica Inc. is merely a pathetic cog in a truly diabolical machine. That machine is the Recording Industry Association of American (RIAA), a $14-billion monolith headed by Hilary Rosen, The Konformist Beast of the Month. The RIAA, a trade company representing Seagram's Universal Music, Bertelsmann AG's BMG, Sony Music, Time Warner's Warner Music, and EMI, is a huge, multi-billion dollar combine with vast political influence. The RIAA has been on a sue-happy frenzy, going after both Napster and MP3.com for supposed violations of their copyright laws, claiming that they are losing millions (if not billions) of dollars. Never mind that in the past two years, mindless pap spewed out by 'N Sync, The Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears have had first week sales exceeding one million copies apiece. Indeed, there is pretty strong evidence to suggest that Napster and MP3, like MTV and radio before it, are actually a boon to the music industry in general, by giving music free publicity and hype. That appears to be what is behind the huge sales of Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP, which was the top Napster download before its smashing debut. Almost lost in their complaints of being victimized by MP3 and Napster is a truth that the recording industry doesn't want to let out about itself: that its entire reason for existence is over exploiting both musicians and music fans alike. It's actually cheaper to make a CD than it is to record a tape: why are prices for CD so inflated then? As for the musicians themselves, while a select few limousine rebels like Lars and his pals rake in big bucks, they only get a fraction of their actual labor from all their recording efforts. The RIAA oligopoly is a huge pyramid that sucks up the entertainment dollars from those who have earned it: the artists themselves. No surprise, then, that in The Covert War Against Rock, underground writer Alex Constantine's just recently published opus for Feral House, one of the main theme's of the book is the connection between those involved in the recording industry and criminal syndicates. For all their discussion of the predatory nature of Napster and MP3, the recording industry can't hide one obvious fact: for the most part, they are a huge deadweight enterprise, even more bloated than Metallica's ego has become swollen over the years. That is what scares the RIAA about Napster and MP3.com: that artists will decide they don't need the RIAA cartel to get their music out there. Using the Internet, musicians could bypass the system altogether, and use the hype to sell their albums or, perhaps even more important, as promotion for concert tours, which have long been the real meal ticket for rock stars. Sadly, such MP3-fueled anarcho-utopian economic fantasies popular among the digital libertarians seem a little far fetch: sure, artists can promote themselves via the net, but nobody will know about the music if it isn't promoted well.

-- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 08:40:26 -0700 From: DOC [EMAIL PROTECTED] July 31, 2000 ESSAY / By WILLIAM SAFIRE Norma the Plumber WASHINGTON -- Democrat Norma Holloway Johnson, in my view the most partisan and power-abusive judge on the federal bench, is finally being forced to answer questions about her conduct. To avert favoritism, the chief judge of the D.C. District Court is supposed to assign judges to cases randomly. But when assigning politically sensitive cases involving Webster Hubbell and Charlie Trie, Judge Johnson veered "off the wheel" to direct those cases to Clinton-appointed judges. When this apparent subversion of the administration of justice drew fire in the press and a formal complaint from Judicial Watch, the Judicial Council of D.C. listened to the chief judge's protestations at any challenge to her integrity and too hastily dismissed the complaint. Then Representative Howard Coble, chairman of House Judiciary's subcommittee on the courts, sent the Court of Appeals here evidence of four more cases in which Chief Judge Johnson bypassed the system to steer cases embarrassing to Democrats (including that of Clinton-Gore fund-raiser Maria Hsia) to judges notoriously soft on Clintonites. The implicit message: if the Judicial Branch didn't clean up its act internally, the Legislative Branch would step up to its constitutional responsibility. This evidence was somewhat sternly passed down to Judge Johnson's embarrassed see-no-evil colleagues. They hastily convened a five-judge panel to protect themselves from complicity in what the House subcommittee chairman called an assignment procedure that was "unusual, unorthodox and may be improper." The Judicial Council hired an investigator. He is Joe D. Whitley, a lackadaisical former U.S. attorney in Atlanta who recused himself in the 80's Banca Lavoro scandal -- a suitably Republican choice, but not the type to rock a boat in D.C. However, when Whitley asked for the chief judge's records to ascertain a pattern of partisanship in assignments, goes the scuttlebutt, Johnson resisted until so ordered by the Judicial Council. Now genial Joe is duty-bound to take testimony from Johnson's possibly intimidated law clerks about any discussions with them about what to tell the investigator. Logic suggests we now have one furious chief judge. In the midst of all this, and perhaps temperamentally related to it, the vindictive Norma Holloway Johnson launches and pursues a leak investigation even more bizarre and chilling than in the days of the Nixon "plumbers." The object of the beleaguered judge's rage is Charles Bakaly, once Ken Starr's spokesman. She went after him for supposedly leaking grand jury information; when the Court of Appeals decided that no grand jury secrecy was involved, the angry judge charged him with lying about a non-crime. (Nice irony there.) She wants to brand him a criminal for swearing he did not pass on "non-public" information in talking with a New York Times reporter. The huge secret that so incenses our out-of-control jurist was that the independent counsel was considering indicting President Clinton. Some secret: that possibility has been common knowledge for years, and Starr's successor makes no bones about it in public. I have not discussed the case with my colleague, but I am one of the thousands of journalists who discuss non-public information with all kinds of sources every day (sometimes calling it scuttlebutt) for the public purpose of making it public. I see Johnson's vendetta as her intemperate way of getting even with the House, the independent counsel and the press. Consider: she makes an accusation of criminal contempt and asks the Justice Department to prosecute her target in her court. Reno Justice knows her charge is an egregious mixture of petulance and arrogance, sure to be rejected by a jury, but does not exercise its prosecutorial discretion to decline. Why? Because Reno political appointees owe Johnson plenty for steering Clinton cases to Clinton-appointed judges, and Justice's career lawyers are terrified of her wrath. So Justice and the out-of-control judge, perhaps in collusion, make the criminal charge petty enough to rate only six months in the slammer, which takes away a defendant's right to trial by jury. Result: the accusation is made by Norma the Plumber, the trial is conducted by Norma the Plumber, the verdict is rendered by Norma the Plumber, and the sentence is meted out by Norma the Plumber. If that is justice in Washington D.C, something is rotten in the state of the Judicial Branch. = 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
[CTRL] Arutz-7 News: Israel's New President: Monday, July 31, 2000
From: www.IsraelNationalNews.com TODAY'S HEADLINES: 1. KATZAV OVERCOMES ODDS TO BECOME ISRAEL'S 8TH PRESIDENT 2. ISRAEL'S PRESIDENT 3. GOLAN, YESHA CONGRATULATE KATZAV 4. OTHER KNESSET BUSINESS 5. FINAL-STATUS DEAL BREWING 6. HEAT WAVE CONTINUES 7. IN BRIEF 1. KATZAV OVERCOMES ODDS TO BECOME ISRAEL'S 8TH PRESIDENT Israel's new President is Moshe Katzav of the Likud. After receiving 60 votes in the first round of today's Knesset vote - one short of the 61 required - he received 63 votes in the second round. Jubilation is the order of the day in the nationalist, Sephardic, and other sectors of Israel. Spontaneous celebrations broke out in Jerusalem, Katzav's hometown of Kiryat Malachi, and elsewhere. The first official act of President Moshe Katzav, upon being informed of his election by Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg, was to don a yarmulke and publicly recite aloud the Shehecheyanu blessing. He later visited the Western Wall, where he recited a prayer of thanksgiving, verses from King Solomon's dedication prayer for the Holy Temple, and Psalm 122: "Seek the welfare of Jerusalem, may those who love it prosper." He said there that the height of his excitement is not the announcement of his victory, but his visit to the Wall. In his acceptance speech, Katzav said that he would "surprise favorably" even those who voted for Peres. He said that his victory is a call for a new, calmer style in the Presidency. The support of Shas, plus the apparent "desertion" of several One Israel MKs, gave Katzav the victory. Katzav was the first Presidential candidate in Israeli history to be fielded by the nationalist camp and win. The Likud, which the new President represented as a Knesset Member until today, rejoiced in Katzav's victory, and MKs of Shas, United Torah Judaism, and others also took part in the party's informal celebrations. MK Avraham Ravitz (UTJ) said that the vote proves that the nation wants a "more Jewish country." The celebrants seemed to also feel that a victory was won over the media, which almost unanimously predicted that Peres would win. Ze'ev Boim will become a Likud MK in place of Katzav, who will be sworn in tomorrow. 2. ISRAEL'S PRESIDENT Moshe Katzav was born in 1945 in Iran, from where he immigrated to Israel at the age of 6. Married with five children, he graduated Hebrew University with a degree in economics and history. Katzav has been a Member of Knesset since 1977, and served as Minister of Welfare and Labor, Transportation, and Tourism. His brother Lior serves as Mayor of Kiryat Malachi, a position which the new President once held himself. 3. GOLAN, YESHA CONGRATULATE KATZAV The Golan Residents Committee congratulated President Katzav on his victory, and has invited him to conduct an official visit in the Golan. It will be recalled that the previous president, Ezer Weizman, said that he would resign if the referendum to give up the Golan Heights did not pass. The Yesha Council also expressed satisfaction with Katzav's victory, and called upon him to "dedicate himself urgently to the supreme mission of reviving the national consensus on maintaining the integrity of Jerusalem." 4. OTHER KNESSET BUSINESS The Knesset now turns its attention to a vote on three no-confidence motions in the Prime Minister. The motions are expected to garner a majority, but less than the 61 needed to topple the government. In his pre-vote speech to the Knesset, Prime Minister Barak blamed opposition leader MK Ariel Sharon for turning down his offer for a national unity government. "Our deliberations [in Camp David] have brought progress on the peace track," Barak said, "and we will continue to work towards peace - though not at any price." Sharon, during his turn at the podium, accused Barak of caving in to Arafat's demands, and said, "Only when we give them Tel Aviv, will there be true peace." 5. FINAL-STATUS DEAL BREWING Yet another hint has been dropped, this time by U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, that a final-status Israeli-Palestinian agreement is expected soon. The negotiations will continue after a period of "recovery," she told a Japanese television station today. A similar prediction was made today by a top security-aide of Prime Minister Barak, Danny Yatom. Hamas head Ahmed Yassin said if another partial agreement is reached, it will be "nothing more than a cease-fire." 6. HEAT WAVE CONTINUES This year's month of July has been hotter than average in an extreme way - up to 4 degrees (over 7 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than usual for July. Temperatures in Jerusalem hit a record 41 degrees (106 degrees Fahrenheit) yesterday, and almost the same levels are expected today. Israeli Electric Company reported a record demand yesterday - 7,850 megawatts. Thousands of chickens died yesterday in the Galilee as a result of the heat wave; coop-owners complained that the water cutbacks prevent them from cooling the chickens by sprinkling the roofs
[CTRL] Hillary Clinton suffers from Tourette syndrome
[For a great picture of Hillary in the throws of an attack of Tourette's Syndrome, see the below URL. --MS] From: http://www.BSNN.net/Jewbastard.htm Hillary backtracks, says Paul Fray "misunderstood" her PICTURE Caption: Hillary Clinton suffers an attack of Tourette syndrome as she speaks with reporters. Tourette Syndrome is a lifelong illness that can go in and out of remission. NEW YORK--One week after emphatically denying hurling an ethnic slur at a campaign aide in 1974, Hillary Clinton has backtracked from her complete denial and admitted cursing at the aide, but maintains that he simply misunderstood her. "In the heat of the moment, what I said to Paul Fray was, 'this is your fault you **cking Jew Baptist', and instead of Baptist he thought I said bastard," Mrs. Clinton explained. Fray--who is a Baptist with some Jewish ancestry-- was the campaign manager for Bill Clinton's failed 1974 congressional run. He made the charge against Mrs. Clinton in the new book State of a Union. Mrs. Clinton--who is a Methodist with some Jewish ancestry--apologized for her initial statement that the alleged incident never happened saying, " I was really surprised that Paul Fray could remember the incident and I wasn't prepared to answer such a charge, so I just acted on instinct and misled the people of New York." Mrs. Clinton was forced to come clean with the real facts of the incident because her husband's admission that she has a cursing problem led to speculation that she wasn't telling the whole truth. After conceding that some incident took place, Mrs. Clinton went on to blame her foul mouth on Tourette's Syndrome. Tourette's Syndrome is an inherited, neurological disorder characterized by repeated and involuntary body movements and uncontrollable vocal sounds. In extreme cases like Mrs. Clinton's, the vocalizations can include socially inappropriate words and phrases like 'f**king Jew Baptist', and 'short legged Irish prick'. Mrs. Clinton maintains that these outbursts are neither intentional nor purposeful and that she is a victim of a dreaded disease. The First Lady takes the anti-psychotic drug ORAP to control the disease. Victims of Tourette Syndrome may also suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, hyperactivity, antisocial behavior, inappropriate sexual activity, aggressive behavior, and delusions of grandeur. When told of Mrs. Clinton's revelation, Rick Lazio responded, "Well this will certainly go along way in explaining her entire life." Hillary's Jew Bastard Talking Points Revealed NEW YORK---BSNN.net has obtained an exclusive copy of the internal memo from Hillary Clinton which provides suggestions as to how to handle press inquiries regarding the First Lady's alleged ethnic slur. The memo in its entirety follows: TO: Jewish Bastard Advisory Group FROM: Hillary Rodham Clinton RE: Rapid Response to charges of Anti-Semitism I would appreciate if all of you could call every Jew reporter you know. Call them as a concerned citizen. (It is important that you hide the fact that you are calling because I told you to, because Jews are a persnickety lot and will likely hold that fact against you for the rest of your lives.) Most of their deadlines are tomorrow, so if at all possible, take care of this tonight. The most important thing is to let them know that you know me and you know that I would never make these kinds of Anti-Semitic or racist comments to somebody who was a real Jew. After all, this guy is a Baptist. If he were a real Jew, i.e. the type of person who never pays retail, I would have called him a **cking Jesus freak or something. It is just not my style to attack someone's ethnicity or religion to their face. It is important to remind these Jew reporters that I myself am of Jewish decent. My father was Jewish. No wait it was my grandmother, or was it my great-grandmother? Oh yeah, I remember, it was my great-grandfather. Anyway, I am as much a Jew as anyone at the New York Times, and that ought to count for something. We Jews stick together you know. 2000 BSNN.net All Rights Reserved.

[CTRL] NRA President A Lush!
Charlton Heston goes public about his battle with alcohol By Jeannie Williams PHILADELPHIA -- TV pundit John McLaughlin was shocked to hear at the Republican convention that his friend Charlton Heston had spent three weeks in a Utah rehab center in May. Heston revealed his previously unreported stay to battle a drinking problem in an interview for this week's National Enquirer. ''It surprises me,'' McLaughlin said. ''I remember years ago having him at my home for dinner with his wife and Ronald Reagan and his wife and saw no hint of anything. I admire him for coming forward and being candid.'' A spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association president confirmed this weekend that Heston gave the interview. She said he would have no further comment. Heston isn't attending the GOP convention, but that's because of film and travel commitments, another spokeswoman said. Heston, 76, now known as much for his NRA commercials as for his biblical film roles, told the tabloid, ''It was one of my best recent ideas. And now I'm not drinking at all.'' He blamed his busy schedule: performing in the play Love Letters with his wife, Lydia, in the spring, working on financing for a movie, doing NRA work and campaigning for George W. Bush. He gave up scotch years ago but drank a lot of white wine on planes and at dinners, he told the Enquirer: ''I wasn't slurring my words, I wasn't falling over, but I realized it had become an addiction for me. And in my profession, that's a terrible flaw to fall into.'' He said many actors' careers have been damaged or destroyed by drinking but that his problem never affected his work. ''I believe I did it in time,'' he said of his treatment. His wife and son were ''strong convincers'' that he should do it, and he says he's proud that he did. NRA CEO Wayne La Pierre could not be reached for comment. A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

The state meanwhile prepares to take on responsibility for Cloning/Birthing of new life, whilst wrenching future generations of kids away from their parents using the Healthy Start Programme renamed under various guises globally. Tony Blairs sickly smile evaporated when he had the displeasure of announcing that his proGAY Law had been thrown out of the House of Lords for the Second Time and vowed to continue presenting it - whilst saying that WE feel that current legislation is unfair - who's WE Blair ?? certainly not 90% of the population that you were elected to represent. The proGAY legislation was forced through in Scotland against an overwhelming tide of public opinion - TV channels bombard us with porn, and insane groups under the guise of 'politically correct' discriminate against the majority interest. TV is full of cross dressing and gay programmes and warehouses are disgorging tonnes of gay schoolbooks whilst 'Christian Archbishops' write of morality without God. Having said that - the Catholic Church despite its known failings may well be the last bastion of public spirituality in the UK - for though marriage is being destroyed as a viable institution, it is definite blockade against satanism - eg. the sex and aliens and bloody new age book by barbara hand clow condemns catholic christianity as sexually repressive and her book the plaedian agenda to me sounded satanic - and is this a coincidence but her name is a satanic anagram BAAL WHO BRAND ARC where barbara may well be the Hand on the Brand - it translates as worshippers of satan who create sexual slavery. Satanists obviously feel a bit daunted by christianity In the UK, under the guise of protecting us from hooligans - new legislation makes it possible to have your passport confiscated and to have an electronic tagging order imposed. In this background of 'new legislation' comes the new community schools initiative where it is planned to re-educate parents of whom it is thought are unable to educate their kids with the 'right values' Its obvious that the buffoons of new labour never thought this lot up by themselves - as man of the people and deputy PM Prescott [the equivalent of Gore] continues to spend vast amounts of the punters money on feathering his nest and generally looking stupid on TV. Further restrictions on travel are being imposed using high fuel prices and the introduction of road tolls and other spurious taxes - whilst the insane spin surrounding the national health service is quite clearly a deliberate lie and bribe - it is more probable that these hospitals will become centres of euthanasia for the aged and unfit - notplaces to be if you want to stay alive - even the doctors are encouraging patients to lie about their conditions to progress through the mincing machine. Recent Cabinet Leaks show that Blair has discovered that you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time - his memos show that he knows that he has been 'rumbled' and his new labour 'BRAND' like a bad tin of Heinz Beanz has been 'contaminated' Edinburgh being the Capital of SCotland - attracts a lot of american tourists - usually with loadsa money :) - and it happened that I was in a tartan shop - and some tasteless guy was buying a horrible looking tartan shawl for his poor wife - so I helpfully suggested the [obviously] beautiful stuart tartan - they said gee ... is there a Clinton Tartan Good luck in the elections guys - we all know that the 'OPinion POLLS' are fictional - how else could Bush possibly make progress - he's being hailed by the BBC as an all american hero. I think that there is genuine cause for optimism that in Deathstar UK Darth Blair may well be getting a going over by the Evil Reptoid Emperor 'REDOUBLE YOUR EFFORTS Mr BLAIR' ordinary decent people are standing up and saying NO and these people are NOT STUPID - thats the BIG MISTAKE that these insane politicians make - they can't be certain of victory anymore - they are starting to doubt, think twice ... and jostle for the exits. best wishes andrew hennessey - End forwarded message - = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL

[CTRL] Iron Mountain Report
Iron Mountain Report: Recently there have been some people of considerable clout and financial status who have gone to great lengths to discredit the Iron Mountain conspiracy. They have expended time and money in an attempt to convince people that it was all just a hoax. Why would anyone fight against something so hard if it were just a fake and a practical joke. They wouldn't. It would require someone very gullible to believe that during the early sixties, one of the most crucial and dangerous periods of the century, people in high places would go to such extremes to pull a practical joke of such a magnitude. No friends, the Iron Mountain conspiracy was real and it's purpose and plans are still alive and well. As a result of the Iron Mountain conspiracy, a book was published by Dial Press in 1967, called "Report from Iron Mountain: The Possibility and Desirability of Peace". It was not peace, but world domination and population control to be enforced by the ever increasing global authority of the United Nations that was the driving force behind the Iron Mountain "Big Plan". The following is a summary of some of the events surrounding the Iron Mountain plot: In August of 1963, 15 people working for the elite power-brokers of the Illuminati met in a nuclear fallout city, built deep inside of Iron Mountain near Hudson New York. The Iron Mountain underground city was built through the finances of Standard Oil of New Jersey, the bank manufacturers, Hanover Trust, Shell Oil and other elitist corporations. Their meetings continued for 3 years and ended in 1966. These men were the think-tank-group who had the responsibility of designing a global plan of action to control world events, depopulate the earth, completely control the masses and to steer humanity into the inescapable net of a one world government by the turn of this century. John Kenneth Galbraith, a professor and member of JFK's "Brain Trust," Dean Rusk, Secretary of State, Robert Strange McNamara, Secretary of Defense (later to become president of the World Bank), E.L. Doctorow, Victor Navasky, and McGeorge McBundy were among those among those most deeply involved in the Iron Mountain conspiracy. The committee met monthly to formulate their sinister yet brilliant plans for America and the world as we headed toward the new millennium. Within this elite group of people were a psychologist, a biochemist, an international law specialist, a literary critic, a political historian, an industrialist, a war expert, an anthropologist, an economic specialist, a sociologist, a physicist an astronomer and a mathematician. These "Illuminated" elitists believe in a world system led by men who consider themselves to be of a god-like superior race of individuals endowed through blood and royal heritage to be the benefactors of this planet and it's people for their own personal pleasure and desires. The Iron Mountain conspiracy also ran deep into the top levels of several federal agencies, who were aware of and involved in concealing the operation. Most notable were the FBI, CIA and the National Security Agency(NSA). This covert operation was being conducted behind the back of President John F. Kennedy. When John Kennedy became aware of this covert undertaking, he was quoted as saying that he would "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces". He also swore to fire J. Edgar Hoover after his re-election. Of course, we all know there was no re-election. The Illuminati had always used war as a means of controlling the masses and restructuring the economics of the world to their own desires. In fact, the entire Cuban Missile Crisis was said to have been contrived by these international elitist (Illuminati) to have America start a nuclear war with Russia in 1962 during the Kennedy administration. The plans were to annihilate the Soviet Union and establish a world government based in America. Because of America's vastly superior nuclear capabilities at that time, they had projected that the Soviet Union would suffer 100 million casualties and the USA would lose about 10 million. John F. Kennedy, despite his short-comings, was a man of extraordinary courage, and he and his brother, Senator Robert Kennedy decided to defy the Illuminati. JFK undermined these monstrous world war plans and was able to negotiate behind the scenes with Nikita Kruschev and bring a peaceful end to what nearly became a nuclear holocaust with Soviet Union. Kennedy had also made plans to end the Vietnam War. This was also vehemently opposed by the Illuminati. The Iron Mountain experiment resulted from a this failed attempt, and it became clear to the Illuminati that they would have to change strategies to deal with controlling the masses during an era of relative peace. The Illuminatiâs infuriation over this dramatic turn of events, created by JFK, and the defiance of the Kennedyâs resulted in an American President and his brother dying young! (Ted Kennedy will never have that problem)!

[CTRL] The Rothschilds (1 of 2)
THE ROTHSCHILD DYNASTY (Condesced from "Descent Into Slavery" by Des Griffin, Chapter Five) -- -- For many years the words international banker, Rothschild, Money and Gold have held a mystical type of fascination for many people around the world but particularly in the United States. Over the years in the United States, the international bankers have come in for a great deal of criticism by a wide variety of individuals who have held high offices of public trust - men whose opinions are worthy of note and whose responsibilities placed them in positions where they knew what was going on behind the scenes in politics and high finance. President Andrew Jackson, the only one of our presidents whose administration totally abolished the National Debt, condemned the international bankers as a "den of vipers" which he was determined to "rout out" of the fabric of American life. Jackson claimed that if only the American people understood how these vipers operated on the American scene "there would be a revolution before morning." Congressman Louis T. McFadden who, for more than ten years, served as chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee, stated that the international bankers are a "dark crew of financial pirates who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket... They prey upon the people of these United States." John F. Hylan, then mayor of New York, said in 1911 that "the real menace of our republic is the invisible government which, like a giant octopus, sprawls its slimy length over our city, state and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses, generally referred to as 'international bankers.'" Were these leading public figures correct in their assessment of the situation, or were they the victims of some exotic form of paranoia? Let's examine history analytically and unemotionally and uncover the facts. The truth, as it unfolds, will prove to be eye-opening and educational to those who are seeking to more clearly understand the mind-boggling events that have been (and are) taking place on the national and international scenes. -- -- HUMBLE BEGINNINGS -- -- Europe, towards the end of the eighteenth century or at the time of the American Revolution, was very different from what we know in the same area today. It was composed of a combination of large and small kingdoms, duchies and states which were constantly engaged in squabbles among themselves. Most people were reduced to the level of serfs - with no political rights. The meager 'privileges' that were granted to them by their 'owners' could be withdrawn at a moment's notice. It was during this period of time that a young man appeared on the European scene who was to have a tremendous impact on the future course of world history; his name was Mayer Amschel Bauer. In later years his name, which he had changed, became synonamous with wealth, power and influence. He was the first of the Rothschilds - the first truly international banker! Mayer Amschel Bauer was born in Frankfurt-On-The-Main in Germany in 1743. He was the son of Moses Amschel Bauer, an itinerant money lender and goldsmith who, tiring of his wanderings in Eastern Europe, decided to settle down in the city where his first son was born. He opened a shop, or counting house, on Judenstrasse (or Jew Street). Over the door leading into the shop he placed a large Red Shield. At a very early age Mayer Amschel Bauer showed that he possessed immense intellectual ability, and his father spent much of his time teaching him everything he could about the money lending business, and the lessons he had learned from many sources. The older Bauer originally hoped to have his son trained as a Rabbi but the father's untimely death put an end to such plans. A few years after his father's death Mayer Amschel Bauer went to work as a clerk in a bank owned by the Oppenheimers in Hannover. His superior ability was quickly recognized and his advancement within the firm was swift. He was awarded a junior partnership. Shortly thereafter he returned to Frankurt where he was able to purchase the business his father had established in 1750. The big Red Shield was still displayed over the door. Recognizing the true significance of the Red Shield (his father had adopted it as his emblem from the Red Flag which was the emblem of the revolutionary minded Jews in Eastern Europe), Mayer Amschel Bauer changed his name to Rothschild; in this way the House of Rothschild came into being. The base for a vast accmulation of wealth was laid during the 1760s when Amschel Rothschild renewed his acquaintance with General von Estorff for whom he ran errands while employed at the Oppenheimer Bank. When Rothschild discovered that the general, who was now attached to
[CTRL] The Rothschilds (2 of 2)
THE JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA VOLUME X, 1905 (P. 494) Owing to Napoleon's seizure of Holland in 1803, the leaders of the anti-Napoleonic league chose Frankfort as a financial center where-from to obtain the sinews of war. After the battle of Jena in 1806 the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel fled to Denmark, where he had already deposited much of his wealth through the agency of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, leaving in the hands of the latter specie and works of art of the value of 600,000 pounds. According to legend, thse were hidden away in wine-casks, and, escaping the search of Napoleon's soldiers when they entered Frankfort, were restored intact in the same casks in 1814, when the elector returned to his electorate (see Marbot, "Memoirs," 1891, i. 310-311). The facts are somewhat less romantic, and more business-like. Rothschild, so far from being in danger, was on such good terms with Napoleon's nominee, Prince Dalberg, that he had been made in 1810 a member of the Electoral College of Darmstadt. The elector's money had been sent to Nathan in London, who in 1808 utilized it to purchase 800,000 pounds worth of gold from the East India Company, knowing that it would be needed for Wellington's Peninsular campaign. He made no less than fonr profits on this: (1) on the sale of Wellington's paper, (2) on the sale of the gold to Wellington, (3) on its repurchase, and (4) on forwarding it to Portugal. This was the beginning of the great fortunes of the house, -- -- CLEAN UP IN FRANCE -- -- Following their crushing defeat at Waterloo, the French struggled to get back on their feet financially. In 1817 they negotiated a substantial loan from the prestigious French banking house of Ouvrard and from the well-known bankers Baring Brothers of London. The Rothschilds had been left on the outside looking in. The following year the French government was in need of another loan. As the bonds issued in 1817 with the help of Ouvrard and Baring Brothers were increasing in value on the Paris market, and in other European financial centers, it appeared certain that the French governmant would retain the services of these two distinguished banking houses. The Rothschild brothers tried most of the gimmicks in their vast repertoire to influence the French government to give them the business. Their efforts were in vain. The French aristocrats, who prided themselves on their elegance and superior breeding, viewed the Rothschilds as mere peasants, upstarts who needed to be kept in their place. The fact that the Rothschilds had vast financial resources, lived in the most luxurious homes and were attired in the most elegant and expensive clothes obtainable cut no ice with the highly class conscious French nobility. The Rothschilds were viewed as uncouth - lacking in social graces. If we are to believe most historical accounts, their appraisal of the first generation Rothschilds was probably valid. One major piece of armament in the Rothschild arsenal the French had overlooked or ignored - their unprecedented cunning in the use and manipulation of money. On November 5, 1818, something very unexpected occurred. After a year of steady appreciation the value of the French government bonds began to fall. With each passing day the decline in their value became more pronounced. Within a short space of time other government securities began to suffer too. The atmosphere in the court of Louis XVIII was tense. Grim faced aristocrats pondered the fate of the country. They hoped for the best but feared the worst! The only people around the French court who weren't deeply concerned were James and Karl Rothschild. They smiled - but said nothing! Slowly a sneaking suspicion began to take shape in the minds of some onlookers. Could those Rothschild brothers be the cause of the nation's economic woes? Could they have secretly manipulated the bond market and engineered the panic? They had! During October 1818, Rothschild agents, using their masters' limitless reserves, had bought huge quantities of the French government bonds issued through their rivals Ouvrard and Baring Brothers. This caused the bonds to increase in value. Then, on November 5th, they began to dump the bonds in huge quantities on the open market in the main commercial centers of Europe, throwing the market into a panic. Suddenly the scene in the Aix palace changed. The Rothschilds, who were patiently biding their time and waiting quietly in an ante room, were ushered into the presence of the king. They were now the center of attention. Their clothes were now the height of fashion. "Their money [was] the darling of the best borrowers." The Rothschilds had gained control of France...and control is the name of the game! Benjamin Disraeli, who was the prime minister of Britain, wrote a novel titled Coningsby. The Jewish Encyclopedia,

[CTRL] JW: Trulock sues Freeh and his agents over civil rights violations
[Notra Trulock was interviewed on this past Saturday's JW radio show. The interview is the 2nd hour followed briefly by Johnny Chung. LISTEN ENCORE: Set slide bar in the middle.] http://www.judicialwatch.org/media/ontheair/ramfiles/072900.ram Home: http://www.judicialwatch.org/media/ontheair/ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 31, 2000 Contact: Richard Tomkins (202) 646-5172 TRULOCK SUES FREEH AND HIS AGENTS OVER CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS Heroic Whistleblower Harassed For Revealing FBI Incompetence And Coverup In Chinagate (Washington, D.C.) After weeks of harassment by Director Louis Freeh and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, during which FBI agents unlawfully entered the home and seized the computer of Notra Trulock, the patriotic whistleblower of the Energy Department who exposed the Los Alamos national security disaster -- Trulock has been forced to strike back by filing a lawsuit for civil rights violations. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia this morning, names Louis Freeh and other FBI officials and agents as defendants. Regrettably, the suit proved necessary when Louis Freeh failed to respond to Judicial Watch's offer to settle the matter. Judicial Watch is legal counsel to Mr. Trulock. Apparently, the FBI, and other agencies such as the CIA, Energy Department, and the Clinton-Gore Administration as a whole, wanted to silence Notra Trulock from telling the truth about their incompetence and coverup of the most egregious breach of national security in U.S. history at the Los Alamos nuclear lab. Under the absolutely false pretext that Notra Trulock had released national security information, FBI officials and agents violated his civil rights. With the help of Judicial Watch, he will now seek redress from the harm inflicted upon him. In pursuing large damages and other relief, Mr. Trulock will be able to take discovery, which will be most revealing. Joining Mr. Trulock in this suit is his landlord, Linda Conrad, whose civil rights were also violated. A copy of the complaint can be found at www.JudicialWatch.com. "Judicial Watch will always be there for anyone who dares tell the truth about government corruption," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel, Larry Klayman.

[CTRL] NR: Clinton Campaigned for Mandela's Jailer On Mandela
7/31/00 7:30 p.m. Clinton Campaigned for Mandela's Jailer On Mandela, Cheney voted the same way as Clinton's pal. By Stephen F. Hayes National Review Apparently forgetting that he's not running for anything this cycle, President Bill Clinton let loose Sunday with an angry attack on someone who is: Republican vice-presidential candidate Dick Cheney. Clinton was outraged (outraged!) about a much-discussed 1986 vote that Cheney cast when he was the lone Representative from Wyoming "Now, all the big publicity is about, in the last few days, an amazing vote cast by their vice-presidential nominee when he was in Congress against letting Nelson Mandela out of jail," the president said. "That takes your breath away." If the Cheney vote took his breath away, Clinton might well be on his knees, red-faced, clutching his throat and gasping for air when he learns that 32 of his fellow Democrats voted with Cheney, against the resolution. And he might be thoroughly asphyxiated if he knew he spent all day Monday campaigning for someone who had cast the exact same vote: Florida Insurance Commissioner Bill Nelson. Nelson for Senate campaign spokesman Dan McLaughlin said, "Bottom line is that Nelson strongly supported two components of the measure, and he considers Mandela one of the century's great leaders. He could not support the third [component], recognizing ANC because it was dominated by the communist party. This vote should be looked at in context." McLaughlin added, "I don't think the president would question Nelson's record." Clinton attended three fundraisers today for Nelson, a Democrat vying for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Connie Mack. Estimates before these events, benefiting the Nelson campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, put their collective value at $1.15 million. Clinton's comments were somewhat more charitable than those he aimed at Cheney 24 hours earlier. "I want to say that I'm honored to be here for Bill Nelson. I've known Bill for, I don't know, years and years and years, a long time. And he and Grace have been friends of Hillary and mine for years. They and their children came over to the White House and stayed with us. And we've had the opportunity over the years at various encounters to get to know one another, and I think the world of both of them." "I think we need more people like them in Washington, people who are civil and decent and reasonable and caring, and not just in election season, not just as a part of a marketing strategy, but because they think it's the right thing to do All of this comes only days after one "Democratic strategist" told New York Times reporter David Rosenbaum that plans were already underway to run radio ads highlighting the Cheney vote on predominantly black radio stations throughout the country. And it comes only one month after Al Gore appeared on stage with Nelson as part of the vice president's ill-fated "prosperity and progress" tour, netting a cool $1 million for the Democratic Party. The Nelson and Cheney votes are far from the radical position Democrats and the media have suggested. On its face, a vote to keep Nelson Mandela in jail is troubling, to say the least: Whoas Cheney has asked repeatedly in interviews-would want to keep Mandela imprisoned? As always, context is crucial in understanding congressional votes. Republicans, then in the minority, tried without success to attach conditions to Mandela's release. Specifically, they wanted language requiring Mandela to renounce violence by his party, the African National Congress, and assuring that the Communist elements of the party, which were significant, be ousted from leadership. In fact, so strong was the Communist faction of the ANC that Democrats refused to include the Republican language, arguing that that negotiation with Communists was inevitable and necessary, given their power. Democrats then put the resolution to a vote without the GOP language, and it failed. Nelson, who was unavailable for comment because he was at the third of the three fundraisers with the president, may have been concerned about the ANC's strong Marxist faction. It was a judgment that some 145 Republicans and 31 other Democrats including current congressmen Charlie Stenholm, Ike Skelton, and William Lipinski made at the time. And, as Clinton said today, Nelson has good judgment. "I know we ought to have people in the Senate who have the values and the judgment, and just the way of operating that Bill Nelson does."

This is an E-mail that America Online would not allow to be sent for several weeks. I contacted Support and they could do nothing for me. This E-Mail and reformatted versions of it are the only E-mails that will not send. I couldn't even send it to anyone else or to myself internally within America Online. All other E-mails both before and after worked fine. PS. I just finished reading The Dark Alliance by Gary Webb, further reinforcing the following viewpoints. Marshall === My apologies for this off topic posting: For an excellent overview of the topic regarding the CIA Drugs, which includes a general synopsis on many of the same speakers that spoke at the CIA, Drugs conference in Eugene, Oregon a few weeks ago read: "Whiteout" by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, The CIA, Drugs and the Press. First published in 1998, and 1999 in paperback by Verso, ISBN 1- 85984-258-5. Realize that this is a good general synopsis of the topic at hand, a great starting point for further reading on the topic. Each chapter deals with a particular aspect of the problem and provides a good bibliography for further study. The publisher calls the book a New Left Book. As you are aware, I am a Conservative Republican, so I disagree with some of the opinions and theories expressed in this book. Unlike the authors, I do think that Communism is evil. What does all this mean to me? Well for one, this is a Bipartisan issue. Democrats are in it and Republicans are in it. For one, it means that all those people who said that drugs can't be stopped and therefore should be legalized, are wrong. Because all of the expensive interdictions and big drug busts we have seen so far weren't intended to stop the real main drug suppliers, who were actually sanctioned by our government. We must not make the same mistake that China was forced into over 100 years ago, legalizing Opium and thus expanding the drug markets, causing the number of opium addictions to soar, to the delight of the British profiteers. For me, people who are for drug legalization are CIA. Furthermore, there is a fundamental issue involved here. As a Conservative, I believe that the fundamental role of Government and the Military, is to protect the people of this nation. Being a Conservative, I feel that government is already involved in too many areas and should be curbed. Therefore, when the people are allowed to suffer and die because illegal foreign commodities are brought into the country assisted and sanctioned by our government, the government's fundamental role of protecting it's people, has been undermined. In fact it really makes you wonder if OUR government is really in charge. Well, I have lost many relatives on both sides of the family during the 1980s that were either involved with drugs and gangs or were residents and bystanders that were killed. My stepbrother died in recent years during the time I have written on this Flight 800 listserver, he died of a Crack overdose. He started with the gateway drug Marijuana, and his high school pushers introduced him to the harder, more profitable stuff. We tried to get him to stick with Addiction treatment, but Crack, extremely addictive psychologically, is really hard to kick. That is just one reason why I am opposed to legalization, it's personal. Miraculously, I have never used nonprescription drugs in my life, other than alcohol and coffee. Yet I have been around illegal drug users for much of my life, from college roommates to casual friends. To me illegal drugs are optional; they are not required for life. I look at those who say they need them, or who try to legalize marijuana; in the same way that I look at people who say they need a luxury boat, selfish. It's a want not a need. In addition I know that I was not born with enough mental capacity to survive, and I knew that drug use would destroy what little I had. Besides to buy illegal drugs, is to support the livelihood of those who also sell drugs to children, I could not sleep with that thought at night. I was in East Los Angeles back in the early 1980s and saw some of the gangs. Nightly ambulances came and picked up bodies in the streets. I remember then, there was talk about Nicaraguans selling drugs on the streets over near Echo park. In those days the streets on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood Vine, Santa Monica Blvd were filled with homeless runaway teenagers, drawn to the glimmer and glamour of Hollywood. One night I was on Santa Monica Boulevard with some friends. It was dark and raining and we saw a Prostitute, she must have been just a teenager, she was soaking wet, obviously wearing only a little black mini-dress, here nose was red and she obviously had a cold with her shiny wet stringy hair covering her shoulders under the shadows of the fluorescent and yellow lights. She was apparently shivering from more than just the rain. Anyway her pimp came up to her and

[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Missing Persons Issue,Ireland. home page click on contents page 2.click on Latest news and links click on There are certain questions, regarding missing persons, which should be answered,ie; (1)Why has there been a dramatic increase in the numbers of persons going missing since,eg;1990? (2)Why have more people gone missing in the nineties in stark contrast with previous decades? (3)Why has the missing persons issue not been given a higher priority? (4)Why have few, if any of the missing persons, not been found? (5)Why has a list of the names and photos, of "all" of the missing, not been made available to the Irish public?(in stark contrast to the RUC files for the missing in Ulster) NB. Since the web site www.missing.ws has been set up, innitially to trace the whereabouts of Aengus Shanahan who went missing on Feb 11 2000, the records of "some" of the missing people in Ireland have been made available to the Irish people..Unfortunately the Garda lists only show records of missing persons back to April 1998. (As inspected by myself on 28/5/2000). One would have surely expected the Garda to have had "all" of the records, of the missing , at hand and readily available.One hopes , with the inauguration of this "new" site, ie, www.missing.ws,the names of all of the missing in Ireland will be made available to the Irish nation!!! Figure 3 above. This article, in the Kilkenny People Oct 1998, shows the proposed monument to be erected in memory for all missing persons in Ireland. NB. It clearly states in this article , at the time it was published ,the number of missing persons was 90+ since 1990. (Point)1"Why has there been a dramatic increase in the numbers of persons going missing since , eg,1990?" There have been many possible explanations put forward by many different people for this phenomenon. The various explanations range from ; the pressures of modern society, abductions by white slavers, serial killers, organised crime, paedophile rings, and even Witches involved in human sacrifices.! With the advent of World Wide Web communications in the 70,s and 80,s, there also came the opportunities for criminals to ply their rotten trades to many, many more people. This could be a possible explanation why there has been a dramatic increase in missing people in recent years!One has just to search the many Search Engines on the complete WWWeb and you will see for yourselves some of the terrible things that one can see.On the UK and USA search engines , there seems to be some regulation.WWW search engines can be seen at http://www.twics.com/~takakuwa/search/,or search the web for world wide web search engines. (Point)2Why have more people gone missing in the nineties in stark contrast with previous decades? The possible explanations put forward are very similar to those in Point(1).There have been many stories and rumours about The End of the World involving Doomsday Cults. One can ask, why has there been so many mass suicides involving so-called "religious " sects in the recent past?One can recall the Waco Massacres and David Koresh, the Jonestown Massacres, The Solar Temple suicides in Montreal and in Switzerland, Heavens Gate Cult and the recent "Christian" sect murders in Africa. The ordinary man in the street does not understand these happenings and puts them down to crazed people out of their minds on drugs.The fact that he does not understand these things, does not mean that they are not happening or that the people involved do not "believe" in what they are doing. It is also a fact that many of the people in these exclusive "sects" , are wealthy and powerfull people. The Solar Temple, The Peoples Temple, The Children of God Sect,The Heavens Gate Sect, The Waco Sect, and even the Charles Manson group have many things in common.Many , if not all were engaged in child abuse !They killed in the name of God! They believe that the world is coming to an end"soon"! Nostradamus predicted that the Antichrist would appear in1999 Aug ; so far as we know , he has not come! The appearance of the Antichrist , he said , would herald the End of the World! In 1999 , the Israeli's were very concerned about the dangers of "Doomsday Cults" flooding into the Holyland; where, it is said ,the Antichrist would first appear! An internet news article said that the Israelis were tipped off by the FBI. Apart from the mass suicides involving "religious" cults , there have been many totally unexplainable crazed murders in the last decade. Is it also a coincidence , that in the years leading up to the Millennium, we have seen many brutal and crazed murders? Examples include ;the Collumbine School Murders , The Snowtown Killings in Australia, the Belgium Paedophile Murders ( Mark Dutroux), the Fred West Murders , the Nielsen murders.Also , add to these the many random killings ,involving children killing

J. ; Psychic Dictatorship in the U.S.A and The Covert War Against Rock are available at amazon.com and other places on-line or at your local bookstore. 1. What got you interested in conspiracies? My interest in fascist conspiracies, to be specific, began about 12 years ago. I was the proverbial academic nabob engaged in writing plays and short stories, also book, film and television reviews for publications in southern California. I frowned at any claims of political conspiracies. But back in Ohio I had run an alternative newspaper in a blighted urban area, where I had written hard news stories about police abuse, urban renewal and gentrification, redlining by the insurance companies and such, and craved an opportunity to cover a story with some substance as news. So I flew up to San Francisco and covered the John Doe 60 trial. This was not exactly your workaday murder case. It involved the kidnap and cannibalizing of a homeless man by a couple of SF satanists. One of them had a swastika tattoo on his face. The other, Cliff St. Joseph, was a waiter. Together, they had abducted "John Doe 60," took him to St. Joseph's apartment, strapped him down, pumped him full of narcotics and proceeded to carve on him all night long. They cut a pentagram into his chest, ate one of his testicles, and tortured him with knives until he bled to death. The body was left under a truck parked south of Market. All of this, of course, was repulsive, led me to ponder how anyone could sink so low as to commit this atrocity. I interviewed the lead witness; a 20-year-old kid named Eddy, over the course of three days. Eddy informed me that there were some 22 members of this satanic cult, including police officers and some very wealthy people living across the Bay. One of the cultists involved with St. Joseph worked for the Bechtel Corp. There were ties to SDI and the Reagan White House. How could this be? What did these killers have to do with Republican politicians? Moreover, Eddy told me that he'd been whisked off the street one day by a CIA agent, and held for three days of questioning. I returned to Los Angeles, shaped my trial notes into a story. It appeared in the LA Weekly. But I was not done with this atrocity and its attendant leads. CIA? Reagan? Star Wars? Mind Control? What the Hell was going on? I was obsessed and had to have some answers. I began buying newspapers from around the world, calling reporters and investigators, searching for relevant informationand to my surprise it existed. My nagging curiosity regarding satanism led me to mind control and fascism. I had quite a catalogue of information assembled when I turned on the radio one evening and heard Mae Brussell for the first time. She was then on Michael Aquino's case, which dovetailed neatly with my own work. I phoned parents of children involved in the Presidio child molestation case that I'd interviewed a few weeks before, told them about Mae Brussell's program, and they phoned her. Mae set up an interview with them and attended the parents' meetings. I had arranged this as a way of establishing trust, but before I could lay the groundwork toward a meeting with her, she was dead. This hit me very hard. I drove to Monterey and explained my own work and interest in Mae Brussell to Al Kunzer at KAZU. Kunzer produced the radio program that aired her work. He put me on the air for four hours over a two-day period. The response was very favorable. Kunzer asked me to make it a weekly conspiracy show, so I tried to pick up where Mae had left off, as a way, I think, of keeping her alive. I refused to let a voice so important be stilled by mere human mortality, and still feel this way. 2. Can you give us some of your background? I grew up in northwest Ohio. Went to college and graduate school there, studied English literature, primarily. My father was ruined by the Mafia, so perhaps I should have caught on early, but my interest was then in writing, particularly the books of Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Roth, Mailer, and other American writers. I was a high school student in the 1960s, and remained a liberal, but generally steered clear of politics. The move to Los Angeles and discovery of domestic fascism was formative. I haven't read a novel since, and went ten years without seeing a single movie. My interest in political conspiracies consumed every waking moment, and I did nothing but research in this period. I still have little time for anything else, though I'm learning how to relax and enjoy life a little. I have also been, for 12 years, a victim of electronic harassment, and this only feeds my obsessions. Torture has a way of inspiring resistance, and I will not give it up until the day I expire. 3.

[CTRL] Former president Bush warns Clinton to lay off son
[For the record, I truly believe Bush Sr. to be the most evil human being EVER to be in the lime light, i.e., if the shear number of innocent ppl that he is responsible for elimiminating is the sole criteria of the definition of "evil" (and I personally go this definition of evil). I mean this dude dwarfs Hitler, et al. And, I believe a vote for his kid is a vote for everything I hate! AnyTHING would be better than that piece of shit Son of a Bush, or one of their evil clan! ANYONE! --MS] " ... If he continues that, I'm going to tell the nation what I think about him as a human being and person." - - - Former president Bush warns Clinton to lay off son Updated 10:05 PM ET July 31, 2000 PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Former President George Bush on Monday refused to be drawn into a mud-slinging contest, but warned that he would drop a self-imposed ban on criticizing President Clinton if he kept attacking his son, Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush. During a Democratic fund-raiser in Rhode Island last Friday, Clinton called the Republican candidate essentially a spoiled rich boy whose "daddy was president" and who is trying to blur the differences between the two parties. Clinton has attacked Bush in the past but his words on Friday seemed to go beyond his usual rhetoric. "Near as I can tell, the message of the Bush campaign is just that, 'I mean how bad could I be? I've been governor of Texas, my daddy was president. I own a baseball team. They like me down there,"' Clinton said. Asked about Clinton's attack, the elder Bush told MSNBC in an interview taped on Monday that he believed the tone of the fall presidential campaign was going to be "rough." George Bush, who served as president from 1988 to 1992, has abstained from making any comments about Clinton's performance as president and especially the Monica Lewinsky scandal. But on Monday he said he was "tempted to get off the reservation" after Clinton's latest barb, adding, "I'm going to wait a month ... If he continues that, I'm going to tell the nation what I think about him as a human being and person." George and Barbara Bush, parents of the presumptive Republican nominee, arrived at the Republican National Convention on Monday to a rousing ovation. = 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] Fwd: FC: GOP convention and Defcon: Reports from the field
I flew from Defcon in Las Vegas directly to Philadelphia, where I'm covering the GOP convention. Right now I'm out at the convention site in one of the four towering white tents designated for the press. I'd call them circus tents, except they're sized to fit not elephants but jumbo jets. They are, sadly, more interesting, at least in a structural-engineering sense, than the convention itself, which so far is more forgettable than a Ross Perot speech. Even the protests have been largely placid, though there's some hope that'll change with "direct action day" tomorrow. Some protest sites: http://www.thepartysover.org/ http://www.libertynet.org/kwru/index.html http://www.r2kphilly.org/ http://www.billionairesforbushorgore.com/events/index_march.html http://www.shadowconvention.com/ http://www.wilpf.org/ -Declan http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,37903,00.html GOPconvention.com Hits the Web by Declan McCullagh 2:40 p.m. Jul. 31, 2000 PDT PHILADELPHIA -- For the first time, the Internet is coming to a presidential convention. Dozens of online reporters have plugged in their laptops alongside traditional media in tents the size of aircraft hangers at the site of the Republican National Convention. Informally dubbed "Internet Alley," the corner of one tent is home to about 40 companies like voter.com, freedomchannel.com, grassroots.com, and women.com -- none of which covered the 1996 presidential conventions. Some, like msnbc.com and abcnews.com, have set up complete broadcast sets. America Online, which sent a tiny delegation in 1996, went even further and rented an imposing skybox in the convention hall alongside CNN and NBC News. In 1996, the online press included a handful of reporters with laptops. In 1992, Net reporters were nonexistent. This year, Voter.com teamed up with Excite.com -- the companies sent a combined total of about 30 people -- to handle interactive chats, kiosks in downtown Philadelphia, and news coverage. [...] http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,37896,00.html Defcon: The Hacker's Bacchanalia by Declan McCullagh ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 7:45 a.m. Jul. 31, 2000 PDT LAS VEGAS -- What do you get when you mix 6,000 hackers and hacker-wannabees with booze, gambling and some of the hottest temperatures in the history of Sin City? Defcon, an annual gathering that holds the Alexis Park Hotel's all-time record for the most alcohol consumed by one group in a weekend. Defcon has always been an event known as much for its intensive technical content -- talks on "advanced buffer overflow techniques" are de rigueur -- as its social opportunities, but this year it seems to have become more party than conference. Call it the new American geek holiday. An example: Some 6,000 paid attendees showed up -- organizers ran out of badges at 5,000 -- but the hotel reports the three conference rooms used for Defcon hold a combined total of just 2,800 people. The rest of the attendees seemed to be content occupying their time with poolside lounging, private parties in hotel rooms and, naturally, beer-tinged teenage high jinks. Hotel staff patiently spent Saturday evening clearing smoke bombs and bubble bath from the three swimming pools -- as well as concrete that reportedly was poured in at least one toilet. [...]
