[CTRL] Zogby: Her ads defining Lazio seem to be working

2000-08-29 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

"Her ads defining Lazio seem to be working"

- John Zogby


Released: August 28, 2000

Hillary bounces back after Democratic Convention Now holds slight
lead over Lazio

New York Post/Fox 5 Zogby International Poll:

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken the lead over
Republican candidate Rick Lazio in the race for the U.S.
Senate, a new Zogby International poll reveals.  The poll was
conducted for the New York Post and Fox 5.

The survey of 601 likely New York State voters conducted August
24th-25th, finds Hillary Clinton leading the Long Island
Congressman 47.1% to 44.7%.  Another 3.0% say they will vote for
other candidates, while 5.2% say they are still not sure who
they’ll vote for.  Following the Republican convention in July,
Lazio had the lead with 49.6% over Clinton’s 42.0% in a survey
released July 28th.

The new survey has a margin of error of +/- 4%.

Democratic groups are rallying around Clinton with strong
showings in New York City (69.8% Clinton, 23.8% Lazio), while
Lazio continues to hold Upstate (51.0% Lazio, 39.6% Clinton) and
the suburbs (55.1% Lazio, 36.7% Clinton).

Clinton also has very strong support among women, African
Americans, and Hispanic Americans.

While her favorability ratings are still not good (51.9%
favorable, 45.1% unfavorable), Lazio’s unfavorable rating - while
not as high as hers - is growing (56.5% favorable, 30.5%).

“Her ads defining Lazio seem to be working,” says John Zogby,
president of Zogby International.  “If he has thoughts of
winning, he’ll have to define himself more clearly.”

In a four-way race including Green party candidate, Al ‘Grandpa’
Lewis and Independence candidate Jeff Graham, Clinton continues
to hold the lead with 46.7%, while Lazio has 43.8%.  Lewis gets
1.4% of the vote while Graham gets 1.5%.  Another 6.7% say they
aren’t sure which candidate they will vote for in a four-way
race.

I posted it so many times so that for ONCE, it might sink into the paranoid
style of mind that, by now any intelligent person ought to know that the
Protocols are shear BUNK and SHAM, written most likely, in my personal
opinion, by the Vatican and its Jesuit scholars typical of its millennial
hate and propaganda against Jews.

If half you nit-wits actually bothered to READ this forgery THROUGH - you
would NOTE, that the HEROES of the PLOT are the Catholics and Jesuits!!!

And amidst the pages of the Elders, these supposed dire-hard anti-Christ
Elders tell us that they perceive the Vatican - who raped, pillaged,
murdered, and persecuted their race all over the globe, as morally
VIRTUOUS!!!

  The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
 
  More than once in the course of the last two centuries, anti-Masonry has
  been fused with an older hatred, hatred of the Jews, that is to say
  anti-Semitism. Probably, the irrational nature of both phobias
facilitates
  their juxtaposition. Be that as it may, from the middle of the 19th
Century,
  we are witnessing an increasing wave of simultaneously anti-Semitic and
  anti-Masonic propaganda. Possibly, the paradigmatic work of this class
of
  "literature" is an opuscule entitled "The Protocols of the Wise Men of
Zion"
  sometimes also known as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
 
  This is one of the most well-known literary falsifications in history,
based
  on plagiarism and fraud from the very beginning of its gestation.
  Nevertheless, this swindle has captivated the imagination of many people
who
  are sensible in other respects, and it has been transformed into the
"source
  of indispensable information" in the baggage of all the anti-Semites and
  anti-Masons.
 
  In this work, we will examine the history of this fraud, will
demonstrate
  its absolute falsification and we will take a look at the lamentable
  consequences that it has had in modern history, as much of the point of
view
  of the Jewish people, as of Freemasonry.
 
 
  Sources of information
 
  In the preparation of this work, I depended mainly on the works of three
  investigators: Professor Jose Antonio Ferrer Benimeli, who in his book
"The
  Judeo-Masonic-Communist Conspiracy"1 dedicates a long chapter to the
subject
  that occupies us (pp. 135-210); Norman Cohn, author of "Justification
for
  Genocide"2, where it makes a history of the antecedents of the
Protocols,
  its evolution and its consequences; and Herman Bernstein, author of "The
  truth on the 'Protocols of Zion'"3, where it not only relates the
history of
  the mystification, but reproduces the complete text of the book of Joly
(pp.
  75-258), the text of the news articles that appeared in the London Times
  (pp. 259-264), the complete text of the Protocols (pp. 295-359), and
other
  authentic documents.
 
  Also, I consulted other works to clarify or to add certain details, as
the
  book "Must men hate?" of the North-American lawyer Sigmund Livingston4,
who
  was the first President of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai-B'rith,
and
  who in his book adds an interesting personal testimony (pp. 39-49) to
the
  meticulous relation presented by the authors mentioned before. All these
  works are included in detail in the notes at the end of this work.
 
  Antecedents
 
  The connection of anti-Masonry and anti-Semitism does not begin with the
  Protocols. Already on the occasion of the Dreyfus affair, that began in
1894
  and continued intermittently until 1906, the French press and also that
of
  other countries5 connected the Judaism of Dreyfus with the Freemasonry
of
  many of his more loyal defenders. Still earlier, Father Agustin Barruel
in
  his "Memory to serve the History of Jacobinism,"6 blamed Freemasonry
  (confusing it with the Illuminati of Bavaria) of being instrumental of
the
  French Revolution (and also of being the heirs of the Templars).
Although
  Barruel did not find historical data to allow him to extend his attack
  including the Jews (between the famous French revolutionaries there were
no
  Jews), other later authors were not so punctilious, and did not have
  scruples in inventing what did not exist in reality.
 
  Numerous books published before and after the Protocols maintain that
  Judaism is at the origin of Freemasonry. We will mention Monsignor Leon
  Meurin, Archbishop of Port-Louis, Mauritius, who published

Thanks Birds.Larry Flynt double crossed the greedy researchers who
tried to make a fast buck in particular Mark Lane who double crossed Bud
Fensterwald.   These amatuer sleuths did not know they were dealing in
an area where bodies were still breathing and at the same time on a
local level, quite a few left along the wayside.Flynt's dumpy office
was a few blocks from mine - Larry Flynt has been an "expriment" to some
for it seems Amricans needed sex therapy and this was the feds way of
promoting same while lining their pockets with snowbirds money at same
time.

To this day Flynt is being pushed off as a martyer; when Larry McDonald
went down on the 007 Flynt made a joke out of it, but by that time Flynt
was in a wheelchair.

Might add Gordon Noven and Liddy and a man by name of Mitch Werbell
moved in on Flynt and Gordon Novel saved the Supreme Court of the USA
from being blown up by removing explosives from the bottom of his
wheelchair.

More theatrics?

Certain peple always leave body bag counts it seems no matter where they
go spreading sunshine and dark clouds on occasion.

Would like to see some of these "sex therpies" for the American people.

People like Barney Franks - does he know love from lust?

For what Flynt pushes is lust and directed to the kids..Flynt wants
to be a martyer - but guess who put up all the money ...Flynt is
worse than a Howard Hughes.someday he will be at a Pyramid Hotel,
and he will be brought in aftr being on ice for long timeand
say, hey we found him.guess what, he is dead.

So Flynt always was an ugly man...researchers grasped at anyone who
would listen in those days - but Mark Lane, CIA lawyer, seems - well he
was at Jonestown?   And he alone got away to write a book.

[CTRL] Toxic People

2000-08-29 Thread Steve Wingate

Some people seem to have a knack for making life miserable for others.
They leave a trail of emotional upheaval in their wakes. Like a chemical
toxic, they cause problems for everyone they come in contact with while
remaining unscathed themselves. These are toxic personalities -- people
whose reckless, ruthless and selfish behavior hurts everone else, but not
them.

Because their way of thinking is so different from that of normal people,
toxic personalities can be extremely confusing. However, this issue of
Update will define their personality structure so that you can identify the
people in your life who may be toxic. You’ll come to understand the ways in
which their toxicity corrodes romantic, work and familial relationships. And
most importantly, this issue will discuss some ways you can identify and
protect yourself from their plots and ploys, and repair the damage they may
have already wrought

Bohemian Grove  Global  Elite



Movers, shakers from politics, business go Bohemian:
Annual Sonoma fete draws Bushes , Kissinger , Powell , Gingrich
By Suzanne Bohan
Bee Correspondent
(Published Aug. 2, 1999)
MONTE RIO -- The Bohemian Club's Annual Summer Encampment came to a close
here Sunday, ending a two-week retreat for the rich and powerful that
President Herbert Hoover once called "the greatest men's party on Earth." The
club's famed annual gathering has been held for more than 100 years at the
2,700-acre Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, about 70 miles north of San Francisco
in Sonoma County. This year's event drew in notables such as former President
George Bush, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, retired Gen. Colin
Powell, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Dow Chemical Chairman Frank
Popoff, as well as actor Danny Glover.

The men gather to celebrate what they call "the spirit of Bohemia," said
Peter Phillips, a Sonoma State University sociology professor who wrote his
doctoral dissertation on the Bohemian Club.
"This is a place men can go and hang out with people who are similar to
them," he said.
The annual gathering near the Russian River, which was first held in 1879,
starts with the "Cremation of Care" ritual, in which the club's mascot is
burned in effigy, symbolizing a freedom from care. Members also perform
several plays, and gourmet food and expensive wine are plentiful.

While the club was formed in 1872 by a group of San Francisco journalists,
the male-only club now bars journalists from membership to protect the
group's privacy. Membership is coveted, and people routinely wait 10 or 15
years before gaining admittance. There are currently about 2,700 members.

The club has drawn criticism for years because of its emphasis on privacy.
What particularly concerns Phillips and others are the "Lakeside Talks" held
during the summer retreat. This year, Powell was expected to deliver a talk
titled "America's Promise Leading Armies and Leading Kids," and Popoff, of
Dow Chemical, was to give a speech called "Environmental Journey."
"These are often public policy speeches," said Mary Moore, with Bohemian
Grove Action Network, a protest group. "And the American public is not privy
to it."

No one from the club returned several calls from The Bee.

Bohemian Grove Action Network has periodically held demonstrations at the
grove, although none were held this year.

The point of the protests, Moore said, has been "to let the American public
know that what they've learned in civics isn't the full story on how
decision-making . . . is made in this country." The Bohemian Club, she said,
"is one of the most elite organizations on the planet."

When the group sponsors public policy talks that are held without public
scrutiny, "the average American feels left out of the process," she said.

Phillips echoes Moore's objections to the off-the-record nature of the
Lakeside Talks.
"These are extremely powerful people and private discussions on policy issues
that affect us certainly go against democratic principles," he said. "There's
no reason that those speeches they're giving couldn't be transcribed and made
public. They have a responsibility to be open about it."

Bohemian Club
The August 2, 1982 edition of Newsweek magazine reported: "... the world's
most prestigious summer camp - the Bohemian Grove - is now in session 75
miles north of San Francisco. The fiercely guarded, 2,700-acre retreat is the
country extension of San Francisco's all-male ultra-exclusive Bohemian Club
to which every Republican President since Herbert Hoover has belonged.

With its high-powered clientele, coveted privacy and cabalistic rituals, the
Bohemian Grove has prompted considerable suspicion. ... The most important
events, however are the "lakeside talks" (past orators: Alexander Hague and
Casper Weinberger). This year's speaker was Henry Kissinger on The Challenge
of the '80s."

Maclean's magazine, March 23, 1981 reported: "Each summer, for three weekends
- this year's will be the 103rd - nearly 2,000 Bohemians, with guests in tow,
speed in by car and corporate jet to their guarded Grove, close by the hamlet
of Monte Rio (population 1,200) on the Russian River. The Grove's
Shakespearean motto, "Weaving spiders come not here," is an injunction to
forget wheeling and dealing which is widely ignored. While 'ruling-class
cohesiveness' rarely lets slip details of accommodations arrived at there,

Russia: Putin's Coming Concession to the Oligarchs

Summary

On Sept. 19, the Russian government will put up for auction
majority control of the ONAKO oil company, one of the country's
most profitable energy companies. Because foreigners are barred
from holding more than a fraction of any Russian oil company, the
government will likely be forced to hand over control to the
powerful businessmen once known as oligarchs, the men that Putin
has publicly campaigned against.

Analysis

After months of trying to rein in Russia's oligarchs, Russian
President Vladimir Putin will soon have to hand over to them a
piece of the country's most profitable industry: oil production.
The government plans to privatize the ONAKO oil company, the 11th
largest oil company in the country, selling off 85 percent of its
shares.

The only true contenders for buying up control of the company - to
be auctioned off Sept. 19 with bids starting at $425 million - are
members of the wealthy, but allegedly corrupt, oligarchy. The
president has staked much of his presidency on diminishing the
power of these men, holdovers from the Yeltsin era. The Putin
government will soon be forced to pick one group of oligarchs over
another, to control ONAKO. The ONAKO auction may also set a
precedent: It is the first of four energy companies to be
privatized.

___

Russian law limits the amount of equity that foreign investors can
control in the country's oil companies, capping ownership at no
more than 15 percent, according to a June edition of the St.
Petersburg Times. The shares in ONAKO will be auctioned off to the
highest bidder.

More than 20 groups have submitted an offer, but only two are true
contenders: LUKoil, the largest oil producer in Russia, and an
alliance of three smaller companies, Yukos, Sibneft and
Surgutneftgaz. Two oligarchs direct LUKoil, Rem Vyakhirev and Vagit
Alekperov, although these two men are largely under Kremlin
control.

In contrast, the three oligarchs behind the alliance behind the
other companies - Yukos, Sibneft and Surgutneftgaz - are Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, Boris Berezovsky and Roman Abramovich. Putin has
publicly sought their power since taking office. They largely
bought their way into power under former President Boris Yeltsin,
amassing fortunes and increasing their political influence.
Abramovich, widely considered Berezovsky's protege, is a Duma
member, as Berezovsky himself was until recently.

http://www.stratfor.com/CIS/countries/Russia/default.htm
_

Though not Russia's largest companies, ONAKO is one of the most
profitable. The average Russian oil company makes less than 30
percent of its profits from exports; ONAKO exports 40 percent of
its product, enabling it to reap the benefits of the higher oil
prices outside Russia. Last year ONAKO earned as much money as some
other companies by pumping less oil, according to Russica
Information on Aug. 16.

Allowing Berezovsky or Khodorkovsky to control the company would be
a dangerous risk for the Kremlin, considering the pasts of the two.
Both oligarchs were linked to the 1998 IMF money laundering
scandal; both have been targets of tax police raids or
investigations in the past three months according to articles in
The Moscow Times in late August. Berezovsky was notably absent from
the late-July summit between Putin and the oligarchs, while
Khodorkovsky has links to businessmen recently expelled from
Bulgaria on corruption and money laundering allegations.

For ONAKO to remain profitable so that the government can take its
share of revenues and taxes, the government needs LUKoil to win the
bid for ONAKO. Putin has already won a battle with Gazprom's Rem
Vyakirev. Second, the government owns 15 percent of LUKoil's stock
and plays a controlling role behind the scenes of the company.

But the fact is that former oligarchs remain the only ones
financially stable enough to contend in the bidding. Unless Putin
can get laws passed that favor foreign investment in strategically
important industries, he

Cult disappears to find spaceship
by Jeremy Mcdermott in Colombia

At least 40 members of a cult have gone missing in the mountains of
Colombia, when they apparently went to meet a spacecraft which they believed
would save them from catastrophes at the end of the millennium.
The alarm was raised after the Gnostic Church Stella Maris cult, from
Cartagena Colombia, did not return on Monday from a spiritual retreat.
Colombian police are searching the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, in the
north of the country.
Mariela Tovar, whose 23-year-old daughter Patricia is among the disappeared,
said the heads of the sect, Rogelio Perea and Rodolfo Pirez, had assured
followers that they could contact a spaceship in the mountains. The area is
sacred territory to indigenous Indians who refer to themselves as the big
brothers and maintain the Sierra Nevada is the original centre of the earth.
The sect believes that extra-terrestrials will take 140,000 people from the
earth before the end of the world.
Police began a search on Tuesday morning and have not yet discovered any
sign of the cult members. They checked the sect#039;s half-finished temple
in Cartagena, but found no clue as to where they had gone, or what their
intentions were.
Authorities did manage to get information about the sect from relatives such
as Enrique Dmaz Impidis. Mr Impidis said he
had to forcibly restrain his wife from selling all her belongings to go on
the trip.
He believes the sect members have been kidnapped by their leaders, after
they had urged a sale of worldly effects to finance the trip.
His friend Pedro Perez was not so fortunate, however, and his wife and two
daughters joined the cult on their search for salvation.
Another neighbour said the group had seemed happy and peaceful when they
left, trying to persuade him to come along to save himself. Pedro Barrios, a
local businessman whose brother and family have gone missing, said he had
warned the police about the group#039;s intentions.
"We warned the authorities of what they were planning to do, but they told
us they could not interfere and that the constitution guaranteed the freedom
of cults," he said.
The Colombian authorities say they are not discounting any theories about
the disappearance, including that of mass suicide or kidnapping.

Colleagues,

Let me spell it out as best I can.

Mike Ruppert said a few days ago (I am
summarizing here): "Well, let's see if they
release Lori Berenson..."

Well, look what just happened! (She's not
out yet, but what she has to say when she gets
out -- soon -- will be very interesting.)

Mike also nominated me for Bronx Borough
President, to which I make a Shermanesque
statement: if elected I will not serve (most
of my paisanos bronqueños have been indicted.
Power doesn't interest me. Justice does.)

Mike is right on in his observation
that everything is going down right now.

We're all sort of standing here, scratching
our heads, realizing that SOMETHING is happening
and that it is not according to Langley's plan.

Enter Lagos, of Chile, who Washington can't touch,
for historic reasons spelled out in the report
below.

As much as we want you to hit our web site to
read this story (well, then, link to it from
somewhere), I will give it to you gratis,
to the 95% good people here and the 5% spooks
who monitor us (they can pound sand):

1. Plan Colombia is already a disaster, even
before the first shots are fired next week.

2. Read up on Simón Bolívar.

3. Washington will grow increasingly desparate
and crass in trying to stem the tide. They
are pissing into the wind.

4. Although Washington and Wall Street oppose
a "European Union" type alliance among Latin
American nations, the European Union itself
is pleased as punch with the idea: Key player
in the global conflict to come.

5. Read more Bolívar. Like, start with,
"The War to the Death." Where he offers
a very kind and enlightened way out for
people who were not born Américans.

Okay, here it is: the most open window into
seeing what is happening in Our América,
complete with details of the Covert part
of Plan Colombia; Contras redux, already

Don't forget to read the investigative report

Countdown to Clinton in Colombia:

Details of Plan Colombia's Covert CIA Operation

Mercenary project, now rejected by Chile, is likely to Receive "Logistical
Support" from Argentina, according to counter-intelligence experts.

Special to The Narco News Bulletin
by Al Giordano

A covert operation, presumably by the US Central Intelligence Agency, that
has recruited Brazilian, Central American and US soldiers-of-fortune to
fight clandestinely in Colombia was dealt a severe blow last week, The Narco
News Bulletin has learned.

The covert operation, first reported in October 1999 by the respected
Brazilian newsweekly Istoé, originally had planned to use Chilean airfields
to ship smuggled arms and mercenary soldiers into Colombia.

During US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's recent lobbying trip to
Santiago de Chile, the government of that nation announced, privately and
publicly: Chile will not lend "logistical support" for that or any other
military part of Plan Colombia, covert or overt.

Albright, in her five-day, five-country, tour, went to Argentina where
President Fernando de la Rua broke with all of Latin America by pledging
"logistical support" for the $1.3 billion US-imposed Plan Colombia.

In the analysis of top investigators in the field of counter-intelligence
consulted by Narco News, this signals that the covert mercenary flights
originally slated to leave from Chilean airstrips, are now likely to utilize
Argentina's territory instead.

This development -- one of many recent setbacks for Plan Colombia -- is due
to the change in government in Chile. In elections early this year, the
Chilean people ousted the party of General Augusto Pinochet and chose
Ricardo Lagos -- former official in the government of assassinated president
Salvador Allende -- as president. Allende had been deposed and assassinated
in 1973 by a US-backed military coup.

This story contains the facts about the illegal covert mercenary operation
now underway as part of Plan Colombia. This project, hidden from the
American people, must also be understood in its geo-political context.

The Geo-Political Context Provoked by "Plan Colombia"

Latin American leaders and members of Civil Society across the hemisphere --
with the exception of Argentina's government and Colombia's increasingly
isolated President Andrés Pastrana -- have rejected US government pressures
to offer military and "logistical" support to the military plan to defeat
the Colombian guerrilla movements. US officials continue to deny that the
goal is counter-insurgency and have thinly disguised their intervention as
an "anti-drug" plan.

Indeed, as Narco News reported in our July 31 interview with exiled
Colombian journalist Alfredo Molano, Plan Colombia has hidden, more
regional, agendas, among them to decentralize cocaine trafficking throughout
South and Central America, thus bringing more pretexts to intervene in the
affairs of the fledgling

Excellent work Dave! Excellent!

Now, figure a combat radius of 500 km. That leaves reasonable
time-over-target for actual combat loiter before return to base becomes
mandatory. Draw a 500 km circle from say 50 km inside northernmost points of
Peruvian border. Now you have your combat radius which includes FARC
territory, obviously. But what else? Old enemy Ecuador is in reach.

So, after expenditure of about $75 million or so and commitment to maintain,
train pilots and fly, Peru is telling us that it will be a surrogate
executioner of FARC and indigs. That puts Peru, which just shaved and took a
bath by releasing Berenson, in bed with old time CIA ally, Argentina.

Brazil, Chile and Venezuela are moving in the opposite direction. I think
Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay (Ich bin ein Paraguayan!) are also givens in
the U.S. camp. The money and economic power, as well as the ideological
power are in Venezuela, Chile, Brazil and, of course Colombia. Remember that
CIA controlled Brazil perfectly in 1964 by overthrowing Goulart. This is
Rocky's home turf.

I read the keys to success or failure of Plan Colombia as Mexico, Brazil,
Chile and Venezuela.

OK Al, the ball's in your court. I'm still trying to finish a newsletter.

Ground support / attack.


Su-25, Sukhoi 'Frogfoot'




Heavily armoured attack and anti-tank aircraft. The Su-25 is a well-armoured
aircraft, capable of carrying a large load under its shoulder-placed wing.
Compared to its US counterpart, the A-10, it is faster and more agile. The
Su-25 saw combat in Afghanistan, and experience there led to major
improvements. A navalized version was built for the large carriers. Late
models have more powerful R-195 engines.

This Ground-Attack plane , the A-10 soviet in a way, constitute for the
soviet strength a real bomb truck... The development of the Su-25 started at
the end of years 60 by the Sukhoï office when needs in Ground-Attack planes
had himself felt cruelly. The first produced units fell to pick indeed for
the red army that able to directly put them in service to sides of the Mi-24
" hind " in missions of destruction of armored and of bombing at the time of
the war of Afghanistan. In 1984 losses to the fight of the Su-25 began to
become préocuping ? ... A new project of Frogfoot was launched therefore in
the goal to fill his main hiatuses: limited survivability, lack of
all-weather capacity, insufficient action radius and avionics limits. This
new model was developed from the two-seater version for reasons of space.
This Su-25T again called Su-34 took air for the first time the 17/08/1984.
As to the habit at Sukhoï, it exists a big number of versions of the
Frogfoot. The Su-25 " Frogfoot-A " is the first of the one-seater versions
able to carry away 6 400 kg of bombs. His version of export is designated
Su-25K. The Su-25UB " Frogfoot-Bs " are the version in tandem of practice.
His version of export is the Su-25UBK. The Su-25UT " Frogfoot-B " are the
same version that the Su-25 UBS but destitute of arming and rebaptisé Su-28.
The Su-25UTG (G as Gak : landing (crosse) is an identical version to the UT
but provided this time of a langing (crosse) for use on aircraft carrier.
The Su-25T is a version identical one-seater in his structure at Su-25UT
intended to the attack anti-tank that specified higher how has been
modernized entirely and improven. His version of export is the Su-25TK. The
Su-25BM is a version of target tow and the Su-34 is the new designation of
the Su-25T. Engineers pulled in particular for this greatly gone version of
teachings of the Afghan war his survivability in intense anti-aircraft
environment. The Frogfoot has been produced to more of 330 copies and his
users are Russia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Iraq, ex-Czechoslovakia and
Afghanistan.

Main versions:
Su-25 " Frogfoot-A ": One-seater initial version.
Su-25K: Version of export of the Su-25A.
Su-25UB " Frogfoot-B ": Two-seater training version.
Su-25UBK: Version of export of the Su-25UB.
Su-25UTG: Version endowed of a landing (crosse).
Su-25TP: Version in maritime attack development.
Su-25T/Su-34: Modernized version and improven.
Su-25TK: Version of export of the Su-25T.






The Su-25 was designed as a low level attack aircraft used in support of
ground forces, much like the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Titanium, 24 mm thick, is
used to protect the cockpit and other vital components from ground fire,
while the internal fuel tanks are lined with a special foam to help protect
against explosion. A two-seat variant was later designed as the Su-25UB, and
an un-armed version was built - the Su-25UT, which later became the Su-28.

Dual Murder in Hercules, Calif., Connected to Promis


Where's Earl "Cash" Brian when we need him?



[Not mentioned in story: the murdered Abernathys, who were keeping some of
Michael Riconosciuto's files, were threatened by Robert Booth Nichols, of
Cabazon fame.]

OTTAWA - RCMP investigators probing allegations spies hacked into top-secret
Canadian intelligence files are working with at least two foreign police
agencies, The Star has learned.
Sources say the Mounties have joined officers from Britain and a tiny police
department in California in interviews connected to their spy probe.

Those revelations add to the intrigue surrounding the investigation into
claims a secret ``trap door'' in doctored computer software allowed foreign
spies to hack into Canadian files and download sensitive intelligence
information.

Oddly, the interest of the other police agencies connects the Mountie spy
probe to a double homicide and - coincidentally - to the aftermath of the
death of Diana, Princess of Wales.

Two Scotland Yard detectives travelled to Canada in late February to
interview a former Israeli intelligence agent.

That ex-spy, Ari Ben-Menashe, has said he was involved in a scheme to sell
rigged software - known as Promis - around the world.

The British were interested in talking to Ben-Menashe, now a Canadian
citizen, about what police have described as ``an allegation of attempted
deception.''

Sources say Ben-Menashe once met with Mohamed al-Fayed - father of Princess
Diana's lover, Dodi, and billionaire owner of the Harrods in London - and
that Scotland Yard detectives wanted to talk to him about that exchange.

Two Mounties investigating the possible breach of national security in
Canada, Sean McDade and Randy Buffam, sat in on that interview.

A Scotland Yard officer insisted the computer spying allegations ``wasn't
anything to do with our case whatsoever.''

Neither Scotland Yard nor the RCMP would explain why members of the RCMP's
National Security Investigations Section were present.

The Mounties have also co-operated with the police department in Hercules,
Calif.

Hercules police are investigating the 1997 deaths of a father and his
12-year-old son.

Neal and young Brendan Abernathy were each tied up with electrical cable and
shot execution-style in the back of the head. They were found dead on their
living room floor.

The Abernathys apparently knew one of the key players in the alleged plot to
alter Promis, a computer software program first developed to help the U.S.
justice department track cases.

Hercules police Detective Sue Todd, who is investigating the slayings, didn't
return The Star's messages.

But a source who requested anonymity said Todd has interviewed him and told
him she was investigating an allegation the murders were ``somehow connected
to the scandal involving Promis.''

Todd joined the RCMP's McDade at an interview earlier this year with Michael
Riconoscuito, an American computer whiz who claims he helped prepare the
Promis software for sale to Canada.
Both Todd and McDade visited Riconoscuito in prison, where he's serving a
drug-related sentence, confirmed Louis Buffardi, Riconoscuito's lawyer.

Buffardi declined further comment about what was discussed during the
interview, saying he'd need his client's permission to do so.

The RCMP confirmed last week they are investigating a possible breach of
national security after a story about it was published in The Star.

Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad



Chapter 10

[excerpts, pages 203-219]

In 1967, communications expert William Hamilton returned to the United States
from Vietnam, where he had devised a network of electronic listening posts to
monitor the Vietcong as its forces moved through the jungle. Hamilton was
offered a job with the National Security Agency. His first task had been to
create a computerized Vietnamese-English dictionary that proved to be a
powerful aid to translating Vietcong messages and interrogating prisoners.

It was an era when the revolution in electronic communications- satellite
technology and microcircuitry-was changing the face of intelligence
gathering: faster and more secure encryption and better imagery were coming
online at increasing speed. Computers grew smaller and faster; more
sophisticated sensors were able to separate thousands of conversations;
photographic spectrum analysis lifted from millions of dots only the ones
that were of interest; microchips made it possible to hear a whisper a
hundred yards away; infrared lenses let one see in the black of night.

The fiber-optic sinews of a new society had contributed to operational
intelligence: to amass and correlate data on a scale far beyond human
capability offered a powerful tool in searching for a pattern and a modus
operandi in terrorist actions. Work had started on the computer-driven
Facial-Analysis Comparison and Elimi- nation System (FACES) that would
revolutionize the system of identifying a person from photographs. Based on
forty-nine characteristics, each categorized on a 1 to 4 scale, FACES could
make 15 million binary yes/no decisions in a second. Interlinked computers
did simultaneous searches to eventually make a staggering 40 million binary
decisions a second. Computers themselves had begun to reduce in size but
retained a memory that contained the equivalent information of a
five-hundred-page reference book.

Still working for the NSA, Hamilton saw an opening in this ever-expanding
market; he would create a software program to interface with data banks in
other computer systems. Its application in in- telligence work would mean
that the owner of the program would be able to interdict most other systems
without, their users' being aware. A patriotic man, Hamilton intended his
first client for the system would be the United States government.

Just as NASA had given the country an unassailable lead in space technology,
so William Hamilton was confident he would do the same for the U.S.
intelligence community. Encouraged by the NSA, the inventor worked
sixteen-hour days, seven days a week. Obsessive and secretive, he was the
quintessential researcher; the NSA was full of them.

After three years, Hamilton was close to producing the ultimate surveillance
tool -- a program that could track the movements of literally untold numbers
of people in any part of the world. President Reagan's warning to terrorists,
"You can run, but you can't hide, was about to come true.

Hamilton resigned from the NSA and purchased a small company called Inslaw.
The company's stated function was to cross- check court actions and discover
if there was common background to litigants,

this could be symbolic for the water apparently found at the polar ice

I am the only one on this newsgroup who has actually
taught Money and Banking as a 400-level course to
economics majors in their senior year--or if I am
not I am the only one who made sure that he really
fully understood his subject matter.

There are two sets of reasons for the fractional
reserve banking system.

The first reason was for the lobbying effort to
get the legislation past in 1913.  The system's
backers, specifically Paul Warburg, a Rothschild
agent who came to the U.S. specifically to "Europeanize"
American banking, sold the system during a time of
populist-progressive rebellion (similar to Buchanan
and Nader today).  The (false) promise was that there
would be a system that would provide for a "flexible
money supply" that would grow with the economy, rather
than being left to such factors as 1) new gold and
silver finds, 2) panic hoarding, 3) inside manipulation
by the super rich in order to capture a nation's assets
from the common people.

The plan was to have 12 different Federal Reserve
Banks each determining the money supply for its
own region.  THe heads of the Federal Reserve
Banks were called "Governors."

The original plan was also for the money supply
to be flexible through the increase or decrease
of the reserve requirement of member banks, i.e.,
a change in the amount of assets member banks
must hold at all time to cover their loans.
The plan was that when there was a recession in
a region, the "independent" Region's Federal
Reserve Bank would reduce the amount of reserves
required so that local bank's would have more
"excess" funds that qualified for making small-
business loans.

None of this is how the bank actually worked
and none of it has anything to do with the
Federal Reserve Systems actual reason for
being.

First off, the main means of "expanding" and
"contracting" the money supply (and controlling
interest rates,the price of loanable funds)
almost immediately became "OPEN MARKET
OPERATIONS" conducted by the New York
Federal Reserve Bank, and that Bank alone!!!
The NY Fed. Res. Bank's open market committee
was a very cozy market, made in the oak-paneled
rooms of the Fed by no more than 10 major bankers
and bond dealers.  And in practice these powerful
bankers, brokers and dealers told the open-market
committee how many government securities it would
buy or sell.  In an "Open Market Purchase" the
Fed purchases the gov't securities the bankers
choose to sell and at the "market price" of a
"market" that is made right on the spot (and always
in the interests of the bankers and brokers
and their friends).  This open market purchase will
take money out of economic loop (tightening the
money supply) and add bonds, increasing the
supply of bonds (bonds are the government's IOU's)
that investors may buy in the secondary markets.

BUT THE BANKING ELITE PREFERS OPEN MARKET
SALES TO OPEN MARKET PURCHASES--an open market
sale is when the Fed sells its outstanding
securities in exchange for cash, draining off
the M1 money supply in circulation. Increasing
open market sales over open market purchases
is what really happens when the Fed sets a course of
the "high-interest rate" policies, as it is doing
right now.  High interdest-rates mean a reduction
in the supply of money for the middle classes.
High interest rates mean that the M1 money supply
of the middle class has been shrunk by the New
York Fed's open market sale

You will not that Greenspan is really a powerless
non-entity--just like your President and Congressman.
The flow of power actually is almost the reverse
of the public's understanding.  It is the regulated
financial powers that are in charge and the
supposed "regulators" of the money supply who
passively take orders at the expense of nation
and public.  (And the reason I am a Blockbuster
clerk today, is that I discovered this and dared to
teach it--think long and hard before you
decide to agree with me in public.)


After the stock market crash (which the
Fed did not prevent) and the Great
Depression (which the Fed could have
but did not cure)  the Fed was reorganized.
The regional Governors were no longer to be called
"governors" --rather the appointed and unaccountable
men and women appointed by rich men, stooges and
cronies--so that the Fed was now  a centralized
command structure

America's Unknown Political Prisoner

My name is Allen Drugge and I am 57 years old. I have a bachelor of arts
degree
in Economics from the University of Washington and am presently living alone
in
the city of Tacoma, WA (USA).

My ancestry traces back to Brugge, Belgium where in the late 15th C. the Holy
Roman Emperor Maximilian I., then German king, fathered an illegitimate son
from
whom I am descended in direct male lineage.

Due to this genetic heritage and owing to the fact that Maximilian was granted
the original charter to the New World, see Durer's works for example of this,
the legal title for the New World has passed to me, being of direct male
descent--a distinction lost to the ruling Hapsburgs in the 18th C.

So, from the time of my birth, and even before, a concerted and sinister
conspiracy has sought to usurp the legitimacy of my birthright. This has
involved all manner of skull duggery including mind-control technologies,
poison, entrapment scenarios designed to discredit me (rape traps being a
favorite strategy of theirs) and so forth. Unfortunately for them I figured
out
at an early age that I was being targeted making all their efforts for naught.

Along the way I also figured out a few things like the symbolism for microwave
(J=RAY) and downsizing (diamond + saturn) and the way society is programmed
thru
the use of 'trees.' Of all my discoveries, however, nothing could prepare me,
or
anyone else for that matter, for the finding of the living LORD. Most often
the
champion of the underdog and ethnocentrically claimed as their own by various
religious factions thru the ages the LORD stands above all but is the basis
for
belief in the GODS, GOD, shamanism, etc. and without whom there is no
legitimate
entitlement.

Once again he is making his presence known on the earth and this time
champions
those who would fight against the evils of psychotronic enslavement over
humanity and for a sustainable ecology in which we can all live in. I call
him the Lord of the Skies or LOTS and his powers are amazing and awesome
beyond
belief.

My destiny is to establish the LORDS empire here on earth and to eliminate
some
of the evils that have plagued mankind thru out the ages--MAN being an
imperfect
work makes this an ongoing project. This is not going to be accomplished by me
or the LORD alone but in co-operation with the peoples of the earth who come
to
experience the grandeur and beneficence of the LORD and with it the
understanding that the only way to a just and meaningful planet is thru HIM.

In order to overthrow the dark forces now plaguing humanity HE is moving on
the
planet in a calculated strategy to raise your awareness to the truth of which
I
am speaking. This will be an escalating effort with increasing pressures
brought
to bear on your infrastructure until the various political factions yield to
the
wishes of the EMPIRE. You can expect that curses found in the Bible plus
events
never before imagined will all be brought into play until our objectives are
fulfilled.

The track record is clear that your present leaders, in the name of "GOD" or
"JESUS CHRIST," would cast you into a living hell from which there will be no
escape--there is no other alternative to your plight than thru the LORD
(LOTS). I'm proof of their sinister agenda as they have me living under
psychotronic assault 24/7 while poisoning my personal space all under closed-
circuit monitoring. This sort of barbarism is anathema to the EMPIRE which
alone
can bring peace and justice.

As our scenario evolves you will be brought closer and closer to the truth
until at some point you may wish to join us. We stand ready to embrace all who
truly wish for a better world and will fight for you just as you would want to
fight for us.

The LORD never fails, only humans.

Justice Department stole from a software company 'Inslaw', modified and
sold to them for the purpose of spying on them. Inslaw had originally been
contracted to create the software, but the Justice Department refused to
pay, and instead had Inslaw declared bankrupt so they could seize the
software. The bankruptcy court ruled, however, that the Justice Department
had used 'deception' and 'trickery' in it's attempt to seize the software,
awarding Inslaw $6.8M of the original $50M contract. Since then, many

WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO ABOUT NEW CIA-DRUG REVELATIONS?

CONGRESS WILL shortly have to decide whether to bury or deal with
explosive new revelations that the Central Intelligence Agency
protected major drug traffickers who aided the Contra army in Central
America. These new findings go far beyond the original stories which
gave rise to them by Gary Webb in 1996.

Webb had alleged that cocaine from two Contra-supporting traffickers,
Norwin Meneses and Danilo Blandon, had helped fuel the national crack
epidemic. The resulting political firestorm brought promises of a full
investigation. After an unprecedented review of internal CIA and
Justice Department files, three massive reports, totaling almost 1,000
pages, were released by the inspectors general of the CIA (Fred Hitz)
and Justice Department (Michael Bromwich).

The new revelations confirmed many of Webb's claims. Meneses and
Blandon were admitted to have been (despite previous press denials)
"significant traffickers who also supported, to some extent, the
Contras." For years they escaped prosecution, until after support for
the Contras ended.

Meanwhile the reports opened the doors on worse scandals. According to
the reports, the CIA made conscious use of major traffickers as
agents, contractors and assets. It maintained good relations with
Contras it knew to be working with drug traffickers. It protected
traffickers which the Justice Department was trying to prosecute,
sometimes by suppressing or denying the existence of
information.

This protection extended to major Drug Enforcement Agency targets
considered to be among the top smugglers of cocaine into this country.
Perhaps the most egregious example is that of the Honduran trafficker
Juan Ramon Matta Ballesteros. Matta had been identified by the DEA in
1985 as the most important member of a consortium moving a major share
(perhaps a third, perhaps more than half) of all the cocaine from
Colombia to the United States. The DEA also knew that Matta was behind
the kidnapping of a DEA agent in Mexico, Enrique Camarena, who was
subsequently tortured and murdered.

A public enemy? Yes. But Matta was also an ally of the CIA. Matta's
airline, SETCO, was recorded in U.S. files as a drug-smuggling
airline. It was also the chief airline with which the CIA contracted
to fly supplies to the Contra camps in Honduras. When the local DEA
office began to move against Matta in 1983, it was shut down. Though
Matta's whereabouts were well-known, the United States did not arrest
and extradite him until 1988, a few days after Congress ended support
for the Contras.

At Matta's first drug trial, a U.S. attorney described him as "on the
level of the top 10 Colombian drug traffickers." We now learn from the
CIA Hitz reports that, in the same year, 1989, CIA officials reported
falsely, in response to an inquiry from Justice, that in CIA files
"There are no records of a SETCO Air." CIA officers appear also to
have lied to Hitz's investigators about who said this.

There appears to have been a broad pattern of withholding information

Mark my words, mi hermano Alberto.

If Plan Colombia falls apart quickly the American economy will collapse
before the election and Bush wins. Clinton becomes Herbert Hoover. The
backfire is that a serious challenge is being mounted against U.S. hegemony.

If Plan Colombia holds for a few months then Gore wins as the economy stays
stable but the inevitable war will not be sustainable and the collapse comes
anyway. My guess is that, behind the scenes, the EU is offering every
incentive possible to South American countries to sink Plan Colombia which,
BTW requires about $3 billion from Europe to succeed.

Then the battle becomes Europe vs. the U.S., the Euro vs. the dollar, gold
vs. Wall Street.

If the SU 25s in Peru turn out to be interceptors and not ground attack
planes there's a chance they may eventually be used against the U.S.
Anything is possible now - anything!

Colleagues,

Let me spell it out as best I can.

Mike Ruppert said a few days ago (I am
summarizing here): "Well, let's see if they
release Lori Berenson..."

Well, look what just happened! (She's not
out yet, but what she has to say when she gets
out -- soon -- will be very interesting.)

Mike also nominated me for Bronx Borough
President, to which I make a Shermanesque
statement: if elected I will not serve (most
of my paisanos bronqueños have been indicted.
Power doesn't interest me. Justice does.)

Mike is right on in his observation
that everything is going down right now.

We're all sort of standing here, scratching
our heads, realizing that SOMETHING is happening
and that it is not according to Langley's plan.

Enter Lagos, of Chile, who Washington can't touch,
for historic reasons spelled out in the report
below.

As much as we want you to hit our web site to
read this story (well, then, link to it from
somewhere), I will give it to you gratis,
to the 95% good people here and the 5% spooks
who monitor us (they can pound sand):

1. Plan Colombia is already a disaster, even
before the first shots are fired next week.

2. Read up on Simón Bolívar.

3. Washington will grow increasingly desparate
and crass in trying to stem the tide. They
are pissing into the wind.

4. Although Washington and Wall Street oppose
a "European Union" type alliance among Latin
American nations, the European Union itself
is pleased as punch with the idea: Key player
in the global conflict to come.

5. Read more Bolívar. Like, start with,
"The War to the Death." Where he offers
a very kind and enlightened way out for
people who were not born Américans.

Okay, here it is: the most open window into
seeing what is happening in Our América,

Countdown to Clinton in Colombia:

Details of Plan Colombia's Covert CIA Operation

Mercenary project, now rejected by Chile, is likely to Receive "Logistical
Support" from Argentina, according to counter-intelligence experts.

Special to The Narco News Bulletin
by Al Giordano

A covert operation, presumably by the US Central Intelligence Agency, that
has recruited Brazilian, Central American and US soldiers-of-fortune to
fight clandestinely in Colombia was dealt a severe blow last week, The Narco
News Bulletin has learned.

The covert operation, first reported in October 1999 by the respected
Brazilian newsweekly Istoé, originally had planned to use Chilean airfields
to ship smuggled arms and mercenary soldiers into Colombia.

During US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's recent lobbying trip to
Santiago de Chile, the government of that nation announced, privately and
publicly: Chile will not lend "logistical support" for that or any other
military part of Plan Colombia, covert or overt.

Albright, in her five-day, five-country, tour, went to Argentina where
President Fernando de la Rua broke with all of Latin America by pledging
"logistical support" for the $1.3 billion US-imposed Plan Colombia.

In the analysis of top investigators in the field of counter-intelligence
consulted by Narco News, this signals that the covert mercenary flights
originally slated to leave from Chilean airstrips, are now likely to utilize
Argentina's territory instead.

This development -- one of many recent setbacks for Plan Colombia -- is due
to the change in government in Chile. In elections early this year, the
Chilean people ousted the party of General Augusto Pinochet and chose

Russia: Putin's Coming Concession to the Oligarchs
Summary

On Sept. 19, the Russian government will put up for auction majority
control of the ONAKO oil company, one of the country's most profitable
energy companies. Because foreigners are barred from holding more than a
fraction of any Russian oil company, the government will likely be
forced to hand over control to the powerful businessmen once known as
oligarchs, the men that Putin has publicly campaigned against.

Analysis

After months of trying to rein in Russia's oligarchs, Russian President
Vladimir Putin will soon have to hand over to them a piece of the
country's most profitable industry: oil production. The government plans
to privatize the ONAKO oil company, the 11th largest oil company in the
country, selling off 85 percent of its shares.

The only true contenders for buying up control of the company - to be
auctioned off Sept. 19 with bids starting at $425 million - are members
of the wealthy, but allegedly corrupt, oligarchy.

The president has staked much of his presidency on diminishing the power
of these men, holdovers from the Yeltsin era. The Putin government will
soon be forced to pick one group of oligarchs over another, to control
ONAKO. The ONAKO auction may also set a precedent: It is the first of
four energy companies to be privatized.

Russian law limits the amount of equity that foreign investors can
control in the country's oil companies, capping ownership at no more
than 15 percent, according to a June edition of the St. Petersburg
Times. The shares in ONAKO will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

More than 20 groups have submitted an offer, but only two are true
contenders: LUKoil, the largest oil producer in Russia, and an alliance
of three smaller companies, Yukos, Sibneft and Surgutneftgaz. Two
oligarchs direct LUKoil, Rem Vyakhirev and Vagit Alekperov, although
these two men are largely under Kremlin control.

In contrast, the three oligarchs behind the alliance behind the other
companies - Yukos, Sibneft and Surgutneftgaz - are Mikhail Khodorkovsky,
Boris Berezovsky and Roman Abramovich. Putin has publicly sought their
power since taking office. They largely bought their way into power
under former President Boris Yeltsin, amassing fortunes and increasing
their political influence. Abramovich, widely considered Berezovsky's
protege, is a Duma member, as Berezovsky himself was until recently.

For more on Russia, see:

Though not Russia's largest companies, ONAKO is one of the most
profitable. The average Russian oil company makes less than 30 percent
of its profits from exports; ONAKO exports 40 percent of its product,
enabling it to reap the benefits of the higher oil prices outside
Russia. Last year ONAKO earned as much money as some other companies by
pumping less oil, according to Russica Information on Aug. 16.

Allowing Berezovsky or Khodorkovsky to control the company would be a
dangerous risk for the Kremlin, considering the pasts of the two. Both
oligarchs were linked to the 1998 IMF money laundering scandal; both
have been targets of tax police raids or investigations in the past
three months according to articles in The Moscow Times in late August.
Berezovsky was notably absent from the late-July summit between Putin
and the oligarchs, while Khodorkovsky has links to businessmen recently
expelled from Bulgaria on corruption and money laundering allegations.

[CTRL] WT: Chinese Military Gets a Lesson In U.S. Strategic Thinking

2000-08-29 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

CHINESE MILITARY GETS A LESSON IN U.S. STRATEGIC THINKING

Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


Twenty-five senior Chinese military officers are in Boston to
learn details about U.S. decision-making that critics say will
help China fight the United States in a conflict over Taiwan.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) officers arrived Saturday.
They include 24 senior colonels and one navy captain who will
spend two weeks at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of
Government, according to Clinton Administration officials close
to the program.

The officers are there to hear lectures by current and former
U.S. national security officials who have discussed how the
United States would respond to a crisis over Taiwan.

"Most of the officers are intelligence collectors or technology
collectors,"  said one knowledgeable official.

Other visiting officers are from components of the Chinese
military involved in directing unconventional warfare against the
United States, a key element of China's emerging war-fighting
strategy.

"The Chinese plan to use this information to manipulate the U.S.
decision-making process and paralyze us during a crisis," said
one official.  "And many of these visiting officers are involved
in just that type of activity."

The group includes colonels from the Central Military Commission,
the top Communist Party organ that controls the military; the PLA
general staff department, and various regional military command
headquarters units.

It is the third group of colonels to attend Harvard as part of
its "China Initiative," which was set up in 1997 with a $1
million grant from Nina Kung, a Hong Kong businesswomen who heads
Chinachem, a chemical manufacturer with extensive ties to
mainland China.

In the past three groups, the Chinese have questioned their
lecturers on U.S. decision-making in a crisis, the officials
said.

Another Chinese objective for what Harvard calls its executive
program for Chinese security affairs is to conduct "political
influence operations"—spreading propaganda aimed at influential
academics and U.S.  policy-makers that China's military buildup
poses no threat to the United States.

A second propaganda theme of the colonels' is to discredit any
U.S.  officials or Americans who view China as a potential enemy.

Officials said China does not allow similar two-week exchange
programs for U.S. military officers at a major Chinese
university. Visits to China by U.S. military officers are
severely restricted, the officials said.

The colonels' visit coincides with a disputed military exchange
program underway that involves Pentagon-sponsored visits by
Chinese officers to sensitive U.S. military facilities.

A group of Chinese officers, including three generals, was
briefed last week on U.S. joint war-fighting training and
simulation, an area the Chinese military is seeking to improve.
They also are scheduled to visit the U.S.  Pacific Command, which
would be in charge of all U.S. forces in the Pacific.

That visit drew protests from Senator Robert C. Smith, New
Hampshire Republican, and Representative Tom DeLay, Texas
Republican, who questioned whether the visit violated a U.S. law
passed last year that prohibits helping China develop its
war-fighting expertise.

Officials said colonels who arrived at Harvard on Saturday are
part of a "loophole" in the legislation that set up the
Smith-DeLay guidelines for U.S. military exchanges. The Harvard
program is not sponsored or funded by the Pentagon.

It was set up in 1997 by Joseph Nye, a former Clinton
Administration assistant defense secretary who is dean of the
Kennedy School. Mr. Nye was the official viewed as the author of
the Pentagon's soft-line policy toward China. He once stated that
if China is treated like an enemy, it will become an enemy.

Since the accidental bombing of the China Embassy in Belgrade,
Yugoslavia, last year, China in official writings has stated that
the United States is its main enemy.

Former Bush Administration arms control official Robert
Blackwill, who at one time directed the China military program at
Harvard, could not be reached for comment. Mr. Blackwill was in
charge of drafting the Republican Party's platform during the
presidential convention earlier this month.

Other Harvard officials involved in the program did not return
telephone calls seeking comment on the colonels program.

After the Smith-DeLay guidelines became law, Pentagon lawyers
rejected the arguments of critics who questioned the legality of
the Harvard program, the officials said. The lawyers said
allowing Pentagon and other U.S. officials to take part in the
program would not violate the legal guidelines.

Last year, a senior Pentagon intelligence officer, Army
Lieutenant Colonel Lonnie Henley, sat in on the entire two-week
program. During an earlier session, the Pentagon's top China
policy-maker, Kurt Campbell, lectured the colonels.

Officials said the colonels this year are expected to seek
answers on how U.S. 

[CTRL] NM: Grand Jury Likely to Indict Clinton, Experts Say

Grand Jury Likely to Indict Clinton, Experts Say

Independent Counsel Robert Ray's decision to impanel a new grand
jury to hear evidence in the Monica Lewinsky case indicates he
believes there's a good chance it will indict President Clinton
for perjury, legal experts told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on
Monday.

Though Clinton's indictment would probably come after he leaves
office, the new criminal investigation of the president is viewed
by the legal community as a serious step toward his prosecution.

"You don't do that kind of thing lightly," Buckner Melton Jr., a
constitutional law expert at the University of North Carolina,
told the Democrat-Gazette.  "You have to presume (Ray) is finding
something to keep his interest up."

"The prospect of a president, even an ex-president, being
indicted is not something that anyone looks forward to," said
Rep.  Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., who believes Clinton is criminally
liable and tried to prove it as one of the House impeachment
managers.

"I have never read a perjury case with as clear evidence as the
case against President Clinton," George Washington University law
professor Jonathan Turley told the Democrat-Gazette.  "Ray would
be undermining the law of perjury by failing to prosecute."

Turley said that Paula Jones judge Susan Webber Wright made
criminal prosecution even harder to avoid when she charged
Clinton with civil contempt for lying about Lewinsky.

"Prosecutors usually do not have a federal judge who is giving an
independent view of the gravity of the conduct by the defendant,"
he told the paper.

Even Sen.  Joseph Lieberman, the vice presidential pick of
Clinton's chosen successor, Al Gore, has argued that the
president may be criminally liable, even though he voted to
acquit Clinton at his Senate trial.  "(Clinton's guilt) may be
determined by a criminal court, which the Senate clearly is not,
after the president leaves office," Lieberman said after
Clinton's trial.

A recent CNN/Gallup poll shows that a bare majority of those
surveyed oppose Clinton's prosecution, 54 to 41 percent, over
crimes the American people have grown tired of hearing about.

But it's not known how the public would react if Ray brings
charges against Clinton based on new evidence.

Last week, former chief House impeachment counsel David Schippers
told a Tennessee radio audience that Ray has likely broadened his
case to include White House-inspired witness intimidation.

"I'm sure that's part of (Ray's) ongoing investigation,"
Schippers said.

Charred, Barren Land is Clinton's "Environmental Legacy" in our
National Forests

High Severity Fires Destroying Millions of Acres Due to Clinton
Logging Policies

By: Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources
(www.originalsources.com)

August 25, 2000

According to today's Washington Post, there's feverish activity
in the White House as the Clinton Administration draws to a close
to try to pin down a legacy before Bill Clinton is out of office.
Of course, he already HAS a legacy - Monica and impeachment, but
he's looking for something a bit different.

At the Environmental Protection Agency alone, the Post observes
"officials have listed 67 regulatory decisions looming before
Clinton's second term expires in January. Environmentalists, who
generally have supported the Clinton-Gore administration, are
pressing the officials to take utmost advantage of their
remaining months."

"If they were to accomplish all their goals, it would cement
Clinton's legacy as one of the nation's great environmental
presidents," said Daniel Weiss, political director of the Sierra
Club's Washington office.

Bill Clinton is going to have an environmental legacy alright,
but it's going to be in about the same light as the impeachment
and Monica legacies. Clinton will be known in the future as the
idiot president whose "environmental" policies led to millions of
acres of forest lands being burned up.

Gov. Marc Racicot, of Montana said this season's wildfires stand
as the "greatest natural disaster in Montana history" and
yesterday he ordered more public and private land closed to the
public because of fire danger.

"We have not had a catastrophe of this magnitude in our
lifetimes," he said. Nearly 20 million acres of public land have
been closed, including 17.4 million acres of federal land and 2.1
million acres of state land.

In the words from the Forest Service explanation for those fires,
"Decades of aggressive suppression have also contributed to the
unprecedented buildup of fuels on public lands across the West,
causing fires that burn hotter, longer, and faster than 'normal'
fires of the past.""

The "unprecedented buildup of fuels on public lands" has been
caused by the Clinton Administration virtually ending logging in
the National Forests. I lived on the edge of the El Dorado
National Forest in California for almost twenty years during the
time that the environmentalists, with the help of Bill Clinton,
were shutting down the logging in the forest. They were warned by
veteran Forest rangers that the policy would lead to exactly what
is going on right now. I reported those warnings in the Reagan
Monitor, in 1995, quoting Keith Butts of Placerville, California,
who retired in 1994 after working nearly forty years in the woods
as a Ranger.

Because his father was a logger in Oregon, Keith had spent most
of his life in the forest but things had changed dramatically in
the woods by the times Keith retired. The ten million acres of
National Forests in California's Sierras produced 1.18 billion
board feet of lumber in 1988. By 1994, due to federal regulations
to save the Spotted Owl, only 360 million board feed were
harvested, an 83% drop. Thousands of logging jobs were lost, the
price of lumber and wood pulp for paper skyrocketed.

"Today," Keith Butts told me, "everything in the woods can be
used. Nothing needs to be burned. Portable chippers can be
brought in to chip up the slash (i.e. branches and underbrush)
for waferboard that is used for building. Keeping the underbrush
under control would prevent the worst damage of wildfires and
fire storms that destroy million of trees, millions of dollars
worth of property and sometimes kill firefighters. We are now
either burning on purpose or letting wildfires consume millions
of acres of trees, yet the Black Forest in Germany has been
preserved for hundreds of years by good management that picks up
every fallen branch to prevent fires."

Of course, Keith Butts' 40 years of experience in the woods was
totally ignored in favor of the opinions of Environmentalists who
hardly knew a Spotted Owl from a hawk. In the April 1995 Reagan
Monitor I wrote:


"To 'protect' the species, owl advocates claim at least 1000
acres or 43 million square feet per owl couple is needed.
However, a report in 1990 noted that 'past fire protection
practices in the forests have caused abnormal fuel conditions to
develop' and notes that the current practice of protecting snags,
dead but standing trees which are favorite nesting spots for the
Spotted Owl 'are obstacles to fire suppression.' The report
continued, 'current practices are creating forest conditions that
most likely will lead to large, high-severity fires.' I had found
a report which showed that the number of owls in the El Dorado
National Forest, which should have been dramatically decreased
due to thousands of acres of fires between 1985 and 1990 and the
Forest Service's demand

Counsel Report on Whitewater Expected Soon

By NEIL A. LEWIS


ASHINGTON, Aug. 28 -- Robert W. Ray, the independent counsel,
said he expected to issue a statement of his findings and
conclusions about the Whitewater investigation a few weeks before
New York voters go to the polls to choose between Hillary Rodham
Clinton and Representative Rick A. Lazio, her Republican opponent
for the United States Senate.

Mr. Ray, whose office has investigated President and Mrs. Clinton
on a range of issues for more than four years, also said in an
interview that he would announce his decision on whether he would
seek an indictment of Mr. Clinton in connection with his affair
with a White House intern shortly after the president left
office.

The prosecutor suggested that the announcement about the possible
indictment of Mr. Clinton would come within weeks after a new
president is inaugurated on Jan. 20. Mr. Ray has already issued
two reports, one essentially clearing the Clintons in the
collection of confidential F.B.I. files about Republicans and
another critical of Mrs. Clinton's role in the dismissal of
longtime employees in the White House travel office.

Setting out for the first time an explicit timetable on those two
matters in an interview on Friday and in comments through a
spokesman today, Mr. Ray also discussed some considerations about
the timing. Any criticism of Mrs. Clinton from Mr. Ray in the
final weeks of her campaign could turn into a political issue.

But Howard Wolfson, Mrs. Clinton's campaign spokesman, said today
in response to Mr. Ray's plans: "New Yorkers have already made up
their minds about this. They know there is nothing here."

Mr. Ray refused to discuss what the Whitewater report might
contain. While it has long been known there will be no
recommendation of any criminal indictment, the statement is
almost certain to discuss how his findings compare to Mrs.
Clinton's assertions to investigators and to the public about her
role as a lawyer in connection with several real estate dealings
in Arkansas.

"It's my intention to issue those findings and conclusions prior
to the election," he said. "Right now I'm trying for
mid-September."

Mr. Ray said he would issue his Whitewater conclusions the moment
they are ready and "not a second later." He said it would be
wrong to delay disclosing them.

"Even withholding them could have political repercussions," he
said, "and that could be viewed as being manipulative."

Mr. Ray said he believed that issuing his statement a few weeks
before the election would provide enough time for anyone to
respond to it and for the public to fully absorb both his views
and those of anyone who disputed his findings.

He said that the one situation that might change his plans would
be if the statement was not ready until just a few days before
the election. If that were the case, he said, he would consider
withholding it.

With regard to his decision about Mr. Clinton and the possibility
of bringing an indictment after he leaves office, Mr. Ray said he
had an obligation to conclude the matter as soon as possible.

"It's time this matter was brought to closure," he said. "And it
is coming to closure."

He added: "I know the country is weary of this. The country needs
to get past this."

Mr. Ray impaneled a new grand jury on July 11 to consider whether
Mr. Clinton should be indicted in connection with his denials
under oath about whether he had a sexual relationship with Monica
Lewinsky, a onetime White House intern.

He described the decision-making process as largely "a
deliberative one now, not an investigative one."

Because the sole issue is whether to charge the president after
he leaves office, Mr. Ray said he intended to take full advantage
of the time until Mr. Clinton left office to make up his mind. He
said his deliberations would require a few months.

Mr. Ray also said there were other factors to consider but
declined to elaborate.

One possible factor is whether Mr. Clinton is disbarred. A state
judge in Arkansas is considering a recommendation from a special
bar committee that Mr. Clinton be stripped of his law license
because of his denials under oath of a relationship with Ms.
Lewinsky. A trial on the matter is likely to be held this fall.

Though Mr. Ray is an independent counsel, he is obliged to follow
Justice Department guidelines that allow for prosecutors to show
discretion and decline to prosecute a case if the subject has
already paid a penalty -- like disbarment or even suspension from
the practice of law.

The Whitewater report that Mr. Ray is expected to file with a
special three-judge panel at the same time he issues his
statement of findings and conclusions will probably be his last
investigative report.

He has already filed two reports with the panel, one in March on
allegations that the White House, and particularly Mrs. Clinton,
collected hundreds of 

Re: [CTRL] Charred, Barren Land is Clinton's Environmental Legacy in our National Forests

2000-08-29 Thread Robert F. Tatman

The REAL culprit is an economic system that regards the forests as resources to
be exploited rather than as our global heritage, to be preserved and protected.
The National Forest System was created to be a source of timber in a country
whose land had been ninety percent logged off by 1900.  While the reforestation
of North America is perhaps the single greatest environmental success story of
the 20th century (there is more land under forest east of the Mississippi than
there was in 1776), that reforestation was undertaken under false pretenses.
The purpose of the forests, as created by Gifford Pinchot and Theodore
Roosevelt, was not recreational hunting, or atmospheric regeneration, or
anything else that we associate the national forests with today...it was the
pursuit of profit, pure and simple.  That harvesting of the new timber for
profit was delayed was due only to the unfortunate fact that the damn trees
didn't grow fast enough.  Sure, blame Clinton--but also blame Bush, Reagan,
Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt, Hoover,
Coolidge, Harding, Wilson, and Cleveland, not to mention Georgia Pacific,
Weyerhaeuser, and Home Depot, because the fault lies ultimately in the system
itself and its underlying philosophy.

   The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
  
   More than once in the course of the last two centuries, anti-Masonry has
   been fused with an older hatred, hatred of the Jews, that is to say
   anti-Semitism. Probably, the irrational nature of both phobias
 facilitates
   their juxtaposition. Be that as it may, from the middle of the 19th
 Century,
   we are witnessing an increasing wave of simultaneously anti-Semitic and
   anti-Masonic propaganda. Possibly, the paradigmatic work of this class
 of
   "literature" is an opuscule entitled "The Protocols of the Wise Men of
 Zion"
   sometimes also known as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
  
   This is one of the most well-known literary falsifications in history,
 based
   on plagiarism and fraud from the very beginning of its gestation.
   Nevertheless, this swindle has captivated the imagination of many people
 who
   are sensible in other respects, and it has been transformed into the
 "source
   of indispensable information" in the baggage of all the anti-Semites and
   anti-Masons.
  
   In this work, we will examine the history of this fraud, will
 demonstrate
   its absolute falsification and we will take a look at the lamentable
   consequences that it has had in modern history, as much of the point of
 view
   of the Jewish people, as of Freemasonry.
  
  
   Sources of information
  
   In the preparation of this work, I depended mainly on the works of three
   investigators: Professor Jose Antonio Ferrer Benimeli, who in his book
 "The
   Judeo-Masonic-Communist Conspiracy"1 dedicates a long chapter to the
 subject
   that occupies us (pp. 135-210); Norman Cohn, author of "Justification
 for
   Genocide"2, where it makes a history of the antecedents of the
 Protocols,
   its evolution and its consequences; and Herman Bernstein, author of "The
   truth on the 'Protocols of Zion'"3, where it not only relates the
 history of
   the mystification, but reproduces the complete text of the book of Joly
 (pp.
   75-258), the text of the news articles that appeared in the London Times
   (pp. 259-264), the complete text of the Protocols (pp. 295-359), and
 other
   authentic documents.
  
   Also, I consulted other works to clarify or to add certain details, as
 the
   book "Must men hate?" of the North-American lawyer Sigmund Livingston4,
 who
   was the first President of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai-B'rith,
 and
   who in his book adds an interesting personal testimony (pp. 39-49) to
 the
   meticulous relation presented by the authors mentioned before. All these
   works are included in detail in the notes at the end of this work.
  
   Antecedents
  
   The connection of anti-Masonry and anti-Semitism does not begin with the
   Protocols. Already on the occasion of the Dreyfus affair, that began in
 1894
   and continued intermittently until 1906, the French press and also that
 of
   other countries5 connected the Judaism of Dreyfus with the Freemasonry
 of
   many of his more loyal defenders. Still earlier, Father Agustin Barruel
 in
   his "Memory to serve the History of Jacobinism,"6 blamed Freemasonry
   (confusing it with the Illuminati of Bavaria) of being instrumental of
 the
   French Revolution (and also of being the heirs of the Templars).

Re: [CTRL] NATO lied over Yugoslav 'mass killings'

The more things change, the more they stay the same. In the Middle Ages, it
was "witches" roasting babies. That's how the Catholic Church fueled the
Inquisition, which efficiently terrorized and suppressed ordinary folks.
This is one of the reasons I worry about the mainstream Christian Church and
its crazy obsession with "Satanism." In my opinion the whole thing is a

 NATO and the UN lied through their teeth to get the west into the war.

 In WWI - it was Germans eating babies.
 In WWII - it was Germans eating babies again.
 In Desert Storm - it was Iraqis microwaving babies and mass raping some

 In Yugoslavia it was 'mass killings' and ethnic cleansing.

 All ended up proven lies, lies used to get emotional/public support

 NATO ADMITS YUGOSLAVS CARRIED OUT NO MASS KILLINGS IN KOSOVO
 By John Catalinotto

 On Aug. 17 NATO officials conceded that the figures they released in
 1999, allegedly a count of the people killed by Yugoslav forces in
 Kosovo, were much higher than the actual number of people killed there.
 Findings by forensic teams from the International Criminal Tribunal for
 the former Yugoslavia in the Hague forced NATO's admission.  The ICTY
 exhumed 3,000 bodies and examined them.
 While they have not yet released a report, ICTY spokespeople said that at
 most 3,000 people were killed.  They said there was no evidence of
 mutilations.  And they said that not all the dead can be proved to be
 victims of murder or execution.
 Last year NATO had charged that Yugoslav forces massacred at least 10,000
 people.  NATO spokespeople implied that 500,000 supposedly "missing"
 people also had been killed.
 They used these claims to justify NATO bombings that had no basis in
 United Nations treaties or NATO's own charter.
 NATO has now been forced to admit in effect that it waged a lying
 propaganda war to win support for its own illegal intervention that
 killed over 3,000 Yugoslavs, about one-third of them children.
 Washington and NATO have no hard evidence that Yugoslav forces carried
 out even a small-scale massacre of civilians, let alone the "genocide"
 they were charged with.
 The ICTY  "Big Lie" of NATO's.
 According to a report in the Aug. 18 British Guardian, Mark Laity, the
 acting NATO spokesperson, said:  "NATO never said the missing were all
 dead.  The figure we stood by was 10,000."  Laity even tried to claim
 that NATO's intervention stopped further killing.
 The truth is that since NATO occupied Kosovo, right-wing Albanian forces
 have killed some 1,000 people, mostly Serb and Romani, while pushing all
 non-Albanian peoples out of the region.

 NATO FORCES LIE AGAIN ABOUT TREPCA
 While this exposure of NATO's lies came too late to stop last year's
 bombing, it should be kept in mind by anyone evaluating NATO leaders'
 current statements regarding Yugoslavia.
 On Aug. 14, French and British forces occupying the Serbian province of
 Kosovo and Metohija seized the smelter at the Trepca mines near Kosovo
 Mitrovica.  These are the richest nickel and lead mines in Europe.
 Corporate forces in the United States, Britain and France want these
 mines in their hands and not in the hands of the Yugoslav government.
 This time the excuse for the action was that the smelter was "polluting"
 the environment.  Compared to the pollution caused by NATO's deliberate
 bombing of Pancevo and other Yugoslav chemical complexes, not to mention
 the use of radioactive depleted uranium weapons, this pollution is minor.
  In any case, Yugoslav authorities reported that steps had already been
 taken to reduce the smelter's pollution.
 The United States, Britain and France  using a lie to justify an
unwarranted and illegal seizure of Yugoslav
 property, just as they lied to justify the war in the first place.
 The NATO powers and Washington in particular have been attempting to
 intervene in the Yugoslav election scheduled for Sept. 24.  They have set
 up an office in Budapest, Hungary, to deliver funds to parties in
 Yugoslavia that oppose the current elected president, Slobodan Milosevic.
 Seizing the Trepca smelter must be seen as part of this election
 strategy.  By taking this step before the election, NATO hopes to put the
 blame for the "loss of Trepca" on Milosevic rather than on

federal contracts to support U.S. troops on some of the
peacekeeping missions that George W. Bush says have helped run
down the military.

U.S. deployments in Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia and elsewhere – the
kinds of missions Bush has pledged to reduce if elected – have
meant big contracts for Dallas-based Halliburton Co., which
Cheney, the GOP vice presidential candidate, headed from 1995
until he retired two weeks ago.

What started out as a $4 million contract in 1992 to help the
government plan how to provide meals, tents, toilets and laundry
for troops sent on missions to far-flung lands has grown
substantially for Halliburton, an oil-services conglomerate.

Halliburton's Brown  Root Services subsidiary has received the
lion's share of the Pentagon's troop support business in the years
since the Persian Gulf War, which Cheney helped direct as
secretary of defense under Bush's father.

A big chunk of the business came in 1995 when troops were sent
to Bosnia. The Army paid Brown  Root $546 million to provide
logistical support for over 20,000 American soldiers in Bosnia,
Croatia and Hungary. The company had already earned $269
million on the contract.

Two years later Brown  Root received a sole-source contract
worth $405 million to continue support services in Bosnia. Last
year the company beat out one other bidder to win a five-year
Army contract to support U.S. peacekeeping troops in the Balkans
region. Originally awarded for $900 million, work under that
contract has now reached $730 million and could go to more than
double that figure because more troops were sent to Kosovo last
year.

Another contract for support services awarded this year by the
Navy will bring in at least $300 million.

The government has hired Halliburton for dozens of other jobs,
from a $100 million contract to improve security at U.S. embassies
and consulates to a $40 million contract to maintain labs at the
National Institutes of Health.

Brown  Root and Army officials say the company won the
logistics contracts fair and square.

"There's no doubt Dick traveled around the world and had an
impact on our global business," said Larry Pope, president of Brown
 Root. But in deals with the U.S. government, Cheney didn't have
any direct bearing on the awards, he said, adding that Brown 
Root doesn't have a lock on the business – it has lost a few
federal contracts to competitors.

Brown  Root was given the sole-source contract in May 1997 to
continue supporting troops in Bosnia because the Army decided it
would be cheaper to keep the same contractor than find a new
one, said Capt. Joan Kibler, spokeswoman for Army Corps of
Engineers, which awarded the contract.

Brown  Root has worked for the government for years; it did
construction work for the military during the Vietnam War. But a
surge in U.S. troop deployments and the Pentagon's growing
reliance on private companies to provide logistics services have
been a boon for Brown  Root.

"The current administration helped set the course for them to build
the business," said Maj. Joe Bigelow, spokesman for the Army,
which has given the company more than $1 billion in business
since 1998. "Five years ago there was no Bosnia or Kosovo."

This past weekend, Cheney said the military has "too many
commitments" for the size of U.S. forces. And Bush has repeatedly
accused President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore of
overcommitting U.S. soldiers to overseas peacekeeping missions
while cutting military budgets.

Bush says that if elected, "I will tell our friends and allies, we
care
for you, we will strengthen our alliances, but if there needs to be
troops on the ground to keep warring parties apart in your
neighborhood, you get to be the peacekeepers."

Gore says more diplomacy in advance would limit the need to send
soldiers to crises abroad.

Well Nessie, at the time I did not read that story and only bought one
Hustler Magazine an I bought dark glasses and wore my collar up.

Do you have the story re JFK where he reniggedon the $1 million dollars
and then slandered JFK?

He was in with that Stapleton then - President Carter's sister and I
know from past let us say associates that this Born Again Christian
Stuff in this area was linked to drugs and Flynt had seen the light then
- and when shot, did a turn about.

Lanskys henchman was in area then and also so was an select group of
people who wouldl not let Flynt in door.

Flynt offered to jump out of a plane and save the world after McDonald
went down.   I only read part of the article on JFK and saw then what a
really treacherous man he was..

House in Columbus had a bedroom with heart shaped bed..and if you
can imagine a lot of stuffed shirt multimilliare neighbors - Klebold's
mother think still lived there in area and school for girls, right
across street from Flynt's estate.

He was setting up drug rackets.and set to take overso Lansky
pal's would not move over.

One thing I did though - when his first Free Press came out, I warned
his office and my friend did too he was going to be shot.however, at
the time I had not linked him to the drugs...remember Gordon Novel
around then and also later worked for Flynt .maybe he did then and I
did not know it, that was also when Novel then hooked up to DeLoren.

So this plot always thickens Nessie...I would not believe ANYTHING
flynt wrote in his magazine for I remember taking that thing to the
court, and thinking it was like Playboyregardless, he slandered JFK
and made a fool out of Lane or Lane was in on it.

I know Lane doubled crossed Bud Fensterwald and the CIA told Fenstrwald
they would come with his head on a plate if he ever told anyone
something they had said to him.so Lane told Flynt.

But then, my MI6 friend said Fensterwald was CIA connected.his best
friend was I know, or a good friend..and in New Orleans, Times
Picyayne said he was.but Lane was CIA lawyer (and at Jonestown, etc
and tied indirect to Halle Bopp)...so Novel was black bag for CIA,
and I think Flynt was CIA involved and Lansky's henchmen wouldnot move
ovr..change of guard?

So like mirror, mirror, Clinton, Gore and Blair in limelight...JFK
Jr. and his father held onto this for long, long time..no matter
what they did, the only way to dim the bright lite, was then to kill the
son, after murdring the father.

February 1984...that was the month I walked out of Court and said
goodbye for Gordon Novel was coming in and many people
concerned...so I left.

When Gordon left he called me from the airport and said "by the way,
Mary Ferrell [researcher) - her son was murdered and she thinks I did

February 1984 was also when this yung attorney came to see me who had

[CTRL] Curdling Kurds Away

}}Begin
A License to kill Kurds
by John Deere
8/29/00
It's open season on the Kurds, but only if you have the proper hunting license.
In two separate articles published on the same day (August 24, 2000) we are
able to see the duplicity and hypocrisy of U.S. policy as it plays with the
lives of expendable pawns, the Kurds.

An article titled "US WARNS OF MILITARY OPTION AGAINST IRAQ," published in the
Middle East Newsline on August 24, 2000, states:

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the key to US military action
is whether President Saddam Hussein rebuilds his arsenal of nonconventional
weapons.

"If he reconstitutes his programs for weapons of mass destruction, if he
threatens his neighbors, threatens US forces or moves against the Kurds, we
have a credible force in the region and we are prepared to act at an
appropriate time and place of our choosing as necessary," Boucher said.
Here we have State Department spokesman Richard Boucher telling us that the US
is prepared to take military action if Iraq "moves against the Kurds."

Now let's take a look at another article titled "Cross-border raids against
terrorists justified: US," and published in the Times of India, on the same
date, August 24, 2000. The article states:

Answering a question on the periodic cross-border raids against Kurds by Turkey
carried out on Iraqi territory on the grounds that Iraq-based terrorists strike
at Turkey, State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher said, "In general, we
support Turkey's right to defend itself against terrorism as long as the cross-
border activities are limited in scope and duration and they scrupulously
observe the rights of civilians in the area."

Notice that the very same State Department Spokesman, Richard Boucher, supports
Turkey's right to kill Kurds; and not just within Turkey, but also within Iraq.
Here is a summary of US policy as concerns the Kurdish population of Northern
Iraq and Turkey: Iraq will be bombed by the US if it takes military action
against Kurdish "freedom-fighters" on Iraqi territory. If, on the other hand,
it is Turkey doing the killing of Kurdish "terrorists" on Iraqi territory, the
US supports Turkey's right to do so.

Not only does the US support Turkey's right, it has provided Turkey with the
equipment and logistical support to kill over 30,000 Kurds in 10 years and
displace millions more – were this Kosovo we would be hearing words like
"genocide" and "ethnic cleansing."

You see, to kill Kurds, all you need is the proper hunting license. In this
case that license is a perk of NATO membership.

The difference is that if the Iraqis act, then we have to Provide Comfort
{this was an operation that the DoD put together after Stormin' Norman forgot
to take the Iraqis' helicopters away from them right after he forgot his
mission to neutralise the Republican Guard who used the helicopters to attack
the Iraqi Kurds for which he got rave reviews and a "sir"-ship from the
Britlanders, giving additional credence to JFK's assertion that the more a
person screws up, the better people like him or her}.  If the Turks act, we
defer the New Ottomans.  AER

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
the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State
has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to
accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a
share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded
subjects.

Nazism = Socialism = Communism.

Nessie says in part:
"This is both sophomorically  simplistic and wholly untrue. There are forms
of socialism which are neither Nazi nor Bolshevik. This is not to say they
are either better or worse. That's a value judgement. That they exist is a
fact. Bolshevism does NOT equal communism. Bolsheviks say it does, but
they lie. Their actions prove otherwise. Acts 2:44 equals communism."

Au Contraire. It is sophomoric to differentiate between Nazism and Communism.
True the Bolcheviks wanted the immediate goal to be worldwide Communism.
Of course the Nazis sure as hell were not content to be "stay at home Nazis."

National SOCIALISM and communism were essentially the same concept, i.e.
STATISM. A definition of Statism which I accept is mass control  via exercise of
pervasive state Police Power. Both Nazism and Communism (and socialism) certainly
fit this bill.

To call Nazism a "religion" is accurate only in the sense that Statism, i.e. Nazism, 
i.e.
Socialism, i.e. Communism are all essentially theocratic in organization and concept.
Both ignore human nature and rely on a "faith based" construct of reality.

[CTRL] The greatest document of the American gun debate

2000-08-29 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

From:

http://www.enterstageright.com/0900gundoc.htm


The greatest document of the American gun debate

Dr.  Michael S.  Brown
web posted August 28, 2000

The history of the gun control debate has been marked by several
truly great documents that are eternally enshrined in cyberspace
and will be treasured by historians of the future.  When these
memorable documents are examined in future centuries, which
treatise will stand above the rest as being the best, the most
important, or the most representative of the entire debate?

One candidate for greatest document of the gun control debate is
a 1989 essay titled, "The Embarrassing Second Amendment" by
highly respected legal scholar Sanford Levinson.  A liberal
himself, he served notice to liberal opponents of gun ownership
that they could not simply ignore the Second Amendment.  This
single law review article started an avalanche of research into
the meaning of the long neglected Second Amendment. The
overwhelming majority of the researchers say that it does indeed
guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms, just as
ordinary folks have believed for two hundred years.

Another possibility is John Lott's exhaustive scholarly study of
the relationship between guns and crime in America.  To make this
complex study more accessible, he distilled it into quite a
readable book, "More Guns, Less Crime", published in 1998 and
currently offered in an updated second edition.  The chapter on
how Lott has been the victim of personal attacks, since his work
is unassailable, is worth the price of the book.

Some might vote for Olsen and Kopel's 1999 law review article,
"All the Way Down the Slippery Slope", a well written and well
researched description of the history of gun prohibition in
England.  It elegantly demonstrates the historical relationship
between increased gun control and increased crime.

These are all great documents that will be treasured by history,
but my favorite is a 1993 article by Jeffrey R.  Snyder: "A
Nation of Cowards".  Snyder distilled the arguments for private
gun ownership, disposed of the arguments against it, and claimed
the moral high ground in this landmark 5,800 word essay.
[George Will responds to that article in this essay.]

I first read "A Nation of Cowards" sometime in 1994 when I was
just beginning to realize the danger that America faced from the
gun prohibition lobby.  Snyder's writing helped me to focus the
random thoughts that I had already developed and added a few that
had not occurred to me yet.

He pointed out how the movement to ban guns was related to the
change in the way Americans are taught to think of themselves.
A few decades ago, before the gun hating really got started,
young people were encouraged to develop self-respect, dignity and
a sense of personal responsibility.  This was built through their
accomplishments, by assuming responsibility, and honoring
obligations.

This traditional value system gradually changed to one where
self-esteem is now paramount. A young person is taught that they
are a precious and important member of society regardless of
their own efforts or accomplishments.  Many observers have noted
the way in which this leads to a poor sense of responsibility and
a higher risk of criminal involvement, but Snyder takes the
logical chain a step further.

He demonstrates how our entire approach to fighting crime has
changed. Rather than accept the slightest risk to our precious
skins, we are taught that we must give in to criminals whenever
the basic precautions like locked doors and alarm systems fail to
protect us. Almost every American now believes that it is not
worth hurting someone, or being hurt, over stolen property.
Even potential rape victims are taught not to fight back.
Recent articles in women's magazines suggest trying to chat with
a rapist or even asking him to use a condom.

In short, we are all to blame for our current crime problem,
because we have decided that fighting back is not appropriate.
Crime increased largely because we made it easier and safer.
This is a direct result of the changing value system that teaches
us to value life above pride and self-respect.

Anti-self-defense groups have tried to blame the crime problem on
law abiding gun owners for allowing their guns to fall into the
hands of young people who then turn to a life of crime. Snyder
compared this with a television commercial that urged people to
lock their cars with the slogan, "Don't help a good boy go bad".
At the time, the ad was considered offensive (and racist, I
believe) by enough people that it was soon dropped, but that same
logic is still used today by the gun haters.

"A Nation of Cowards" lays out the arguments for civilian gun
ownership that have only grown stronger in the last seven years.
It mentions the inability of the police to protect us from crime
by any means other than locking up criminals after the fact.  It
asks us to consider what will happen if we are prevented from
dialing

China moves on Africa

by Joseph Farah
© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com

NEW YORK -- The London Telegraph reports "tens of thousands of
Chinese troops and prisoners forced to work as security guards
have been moved to Sudan."

I believe it -- especially in light of what WorldNetDaily's
Charles Smith has been reporting in recent weeks about China's
other moves in Sudan.

The Chinese troops are not there to baby sit the brutal Islamic
regime that crucifies Christians, bombs schools and hospitals and
employs a scorched-earth policy against its own dissident
populace.  It would be bad enough if the Chinese were there to
prop up the regime. Instead, according to the Telegraph report,
they have been sent to prepare for a major offensive in the
South.

A Sudanese government document claims the Chinese are prepared to
deliver up to 700,000 personnel for such a campaign.  Such a
report stretches credulity without the context of WorldNetDaily's
earlier dispatches.

Smith reported last month that the United Nations suspended
humanitarian relief flights into Sudan amid reports the regime is
using a Chinese-supplied radar to track and bomb the U.N.
missions.

Did you catch that?  The Sudanese used Chinese radars to track
the U.N. humanitarian flights so they could bomb the recipients
of the humanitarian aid.  That tells you something about the
character of this regime.  Even the U.N., which sat by and
watched the genocide in Rwanda a few years ago, was repulsed by
the barbarity.

That story by Smith did not get much attention from the rest of
the U.S.  press for a couple reasons: 1) U.S.  reporters and
editors don't care all that much about foreign news reporting;
and, 2) that story broke on WorldNetDaily the same week as Paul
Sperry's porngate shocker, which got plenty of attention.

No one has ever accused the U.S.  press establishment of being
able to pay attention to more than one story at a time.

But earlier, Smith had another report that lends credence to the
Telegraph story.

In July, WorldNetDaily reported that Sudan had acquired 34 new
jet fighters from China.

"The Chinese-built medium-range radar unit at Juba is reported to
be less than 200 miles from Lokichokio in Kenya, where the
humanitarian flights originate," Smith's report said.  "In
addition, the Sudanese air force has modified Russian-built
Antonov An-24 transport aircraft to serve as long-range bombers.
The Antonov bombers directed by the radar at Juba are able to
intercept and destroy the relief flights when they land inside
southern Sudan."

Now that we know about this, what can be done about it?  Don't
expect the U.N.  to get involved anytime soon.  Remember that
China is a member of the U.N.  Security Council.  As such, it can
veto any U.N.  effort to subvert its war in Sudan.

It's likely the Sudanese-Chinese offensive against the rebels
(and innocent civilians) in the south will come soon.

===  Why?  Because China owns the White House until at least Jan.  20.
Beijing's cash played a critical role in electing and re-electing Bill
Clinton.  He's the Manchurian President.  He won't lift a finger against
his patrons.

If China is really going to mobilize tens of thousands or even
hundreds of thousands of troops in an African war, it is probably
going to do it before a changing of the guard at the White House
-- though, to be honest, George W.  Bush has not exactly been a
tiger when it comes to recognizing the Chinese threat.

Still, no matter when it comes, a Chinese invasion in Africa
would be -- in diplomatic parlance -- very destabilizing.

Many U.S.  defense analysts have not expected China to make
daring military moves for at least a decade.  If Beijing feels
enough confidence to create a client state in oil-rich northern
Africa and pour troops and materiel in there, U.S. defense
planners may be in for a shock.

While the U.S.  is bombing Iraq in a senseless, never-ending
mission designed to prevent Saddam Hussein from selling oil,
China is using its military to take effective control of the oil
fields in Sudan.

[CTRL] ABCN: Opening the Gate Wider

2000-08-29 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

Opening the GateWider

Bt David Ruppe
ABC News

A little-noticed White House regulation change urged by Silicon
Valley will allow the Chinese military to buy some of the most
powerful U.S. computers without a government license or security
review.

The move, announced by President Clinton on Aug.  3 and applauded
by Vice President Al Gore, is drawing fire from security experts
who say the computers could help foreign militaries develop
nuclear weapons more quickly, and from a congressman who charges
the White House is compromising national security for political
profit.

The new regulations, scheduled to take effect in February, will
relax U.S.  government oversight on exports of ultra-powerful
high-performance computers, or HPCs, to nearly all countries
around the globe.

Security experts are particularly worried because the regulations
reduce special oversight on computer exports to the the
militaries of approximately 50 nations the United States has
designated security concerns, including China, Russia, Pakistan
and India, so-called Tier III countries.

Under the new rules, militaries in those countries would be
allowed to buy, without a U.S.  government license and 10-day
multi-agency security review, systems with processing speeds as
fast as 28,000 million theoretical operations per second (MTOPS),
made by manufacturers like IBM, Silicon Graphics and Cray Inc.

A joint Commerce-Defense Department study has found nuclear
blasts can be simulated with computers between 10,457 and 21,125
MTOPS.

The average desktop computer might measure around 1,000 MTOPS.

In its Aug.  3 announcement, the White House said the new
regulations “promote national security” while they “ease
unnecessary regulatory burdens on both government and industry.”

Industry Advocacy

The new regulations are the fifth and most aggressive relaxation
of national security controls on high-performance computer
exports since Clinton took office in 1993.  Like changes before,
they were made at the urging of America’s top computer companies
— specifically, the chief executive officers of IBM Corp., Unisys
Corp, Hewlett-Packard Co.  and NCR Corp., at a June 8 meeting
with Clinton administration officials.

The CEOs left that meeting “very encouraged,” according to a
statement from the Computer Coalition for Responsible Exports, an
organization representing the industry.

Following Clinton’s announcement, Unisys CEO and CCRE Co-Chair
Lawrence Weinbach congratulated the administration. “The
president’s decision makes U.S.  computer manufacturers more
competitive in the worldwide marketplace.”

Democratic presidential candidate Gore issued a statement also
applauding the decision, saying it would “increase the ability of
U.S.  high-tech companies to compete and win in global markets.”

Silicon Valley Support

Rep.  Curt Weldon, R-Pa., a frequent critic of the
administration’s technology export policies, believes the changes
are a reckless move to bolster campaign support from America’s
prosperous computer sector.

“It’s another example of this administration’s wanton efforts to
not worry about our security because they’re more concerned about
favoring companies and enterprises, in this case involving China,
which will benefit from this technology,” he says.

“None of it’s justified strategically,” says Peter Leitner, a
strategic trade adviser at the Department of Defense, who has
been critical in the past of administration and Pentagon
technology export policies.  “They’re in the pocket of Silicon
Valley and they’re trying to do whatever they can to get whatever
they can out the door before they leave office.”

America’s computer manufacturers must be happy with something the
administration has been doing.  The computer equipment and
services industry has been the fourth largest contributing
business sector to the Democratic National Committee this
election cycle, donating $3.2 million from Jan.  1, 1999, to July
1, 2000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The industry contributed $1.9 million to the Republican National
Committee, making it the ninth largest contributor during that
period, according to the center.

That time frame, it turns out, coincides with some of the
administration’s most radical decontrols.

In January this year, the computing performance level requiring a
license and security review for Tier III militaries was increased
by the White House from 2,000 to 6,500 MTOPS.  This month, it was
raised again to 12,500.  The latest decontrol will raise the
limit to 28,000.

“Only a short time ago the Chinese were having trouble getting
licenses for computers over 3,000 or 4,000 for military
applications,” says Gary Milhollin, director of the Wisconsin
Project on Nuclear Arms Control.

“If this were to happen 20 or 30 years ago, presidential
candidates or incumbents would have to do what Richard Nixon did,
which was resign in shame. Today, it’s more or less anything

[CTRL] NYT: Scouts' Successful Ban in Gays Is Followed by Loss in Support

2000-08-29 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

August 29, 2000

Scouts' Successful Ban on Gays Is Followed by Loss in Support

By KATE ZERNIKE   In the two months since the United States
Supreme Court ruled that the Boy Scouts of America have a
constitutional right to exclude gays, corporate and governmental
support for the organization has slipped markedly.

Chicago, San Francisco and San Jose, Calif., have told local
Scout troops that they can no longer use parks, schools and other
municipal sites. Companies like Chase Manhattan Bank and Textron
Inc., have withdrawn hundreds of thousands of dollars in support
to local and national scouting groups nationwide. Dozens of
United Ways from Massachusetts to San Francisco have cut off
money amounting to millions of dollars each year.

And Connecticut, in what may become a test case, has banned
contributions to the Scouts by state employees through a
state-run charity. The state is also considering whether to block
the Scouts from using public campgrounds or buildings.

"It's a watershed issue," said C. Joan Parker, assistant counsel
to the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities,
which must issue a ruling by Nov. 8 on whether the Scouts violate
state antidiscrimination laws.

If the commission rules that the group does violate those laws,
the Boy Scouts would be prevented from using any public
facilities.

"We have to decide, Are we aiding and abetting someone that
discriminates?" Ms. Parker said. "Clearly, any public entity
needs to have clean hands."

Gregg Shields, a national spokesman for the Scouts, said the
organization respected the right of private companies to donate
only to groups of their choice. But the organization is suing the
State of Connecticut to restore state employees' ability to
donate to the Scouts, and Mr. Shields said his group would fight
to maintain access to public schools and public places in other
states as well.

"The Boy Scouts of America since 1910 have taught traditional
family values," Mr. Shields said. "We feel that an avowed
homosexual isn't a role model for those values."

For public and private officials around the country, the problem
is a complex and painful one. On the one hand, they do not want
to cut off valuable opportunities for the young or run afoul of
First Amendment principles. On the other hand, by allowing a
group that bans gays to use public facilities and supporting it,
they violate their anti discrimination statutes.

The trim uniform of the Boy Scouts has become almost a cherished
national symbol. But at a time when same-sex benefits, diversity
training and nondiscrimination policies have become routine, some
companies and organizations say the Scouts' refusal to admit gays
has come to seem almost un-American.

"Their position is, on the face of it, in conflict with our
commitment and our values on diversity," said Jim Finn, a
spokesman for Chase, which had contributed about $200,000
annually to the Boy Scouts until stopping it last month.

The Supreme Court ruled in June by a 5-to-4 vote that the
organization had a constitutional right to exclude gays because
opposition to homosexuality is part of the organization's
"expressive message."

The decision overturned a ruling last year by the New Jersey
Supreme Court that applied the state's law against discrimination
in public accommodations to require a New Jersey Scout troop to
readmit a longtime member and assistant scoutmaster, James Dale,
whom it had dismissed after learning he is gay.

But the ruling did not address the merits of the ban on gays,
only whether the Boy Scouts is a private group, and so has the
right to set its own membership rules.

The Scouts, whose membership has grown to 6.2 million, said that
the group's charter since 1910 had promoted "family values," and
that its oath pledged a "morally straight" life. A homosexual,
the organization said, is not the proper role model for those
values.

While the decisions to withhold support will not seriously dent
the $125 million raised annually by the Scouts national
organization, the growing effort to block local chapters from
meeting in places like public schools and state campgrounds
raises practical problems for the Scouts. Since the ruling, many
public bodies, charities and companies, including Merrill Lynch,
are beginning the discussion that has taken place in Hartford.
The options, they say, are equally unpleasant: hurting children
who are benefiting from scouting, or supporting a position they
find ethically untenable.

"Do we just cut off funding, and so hundreds of kids in Hartford
aren't getting a program they so desperately need?" asked Susan
Dunn, senior vice president of the United Way of the Capital
Area. "Our mission is to serve our community, especially
children. But it's also in our mission that we don't
discriminate. That's where it becomes difficult."

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the
city of San Diego on Monday asking a federal court to revoke a
50-year-old agreement that

Distinct Clinton Legacy

The latest high-performance computer export regulation changes,
along with previous deregulation, are one of the most clear-cut
legacies of President Clinton’s eight years in office — and one
he sought right from the start.

“One reason I ran for President was to tailor export controls to
the realities of a post-Cold War world,” Clinton, during his
first year in office, wrote Edward McCracken, then CEO of Silicon
Graphics.

“Let me assure you that I am personally committed to developing a
more intelligent export policy, one that prevents dangerous
technologies from falling into the wrong hands without unfairly
burdening American commerce,” Clinton wrote.

During both Clinton administrations, as capabilities
significantly increased for desktop, laptop, and supercomputers,
the administration relaxed government controls and security
reviews of computer exports to nearly all countries.

Hundreds of high-performance computers would be exported to
banks, educational institutions, research labs, governments and
other buyers around the world.

China would become a leading destination.  While the Pentagon
believed there was not a single high-performance computer in
China before 1995, hundreds of mostly lower-level U.S.  machines
would be sold there by 1999 without a license.

When Clinton took office in 1993, the United States controlled
nearly all computer exports with a capacity of 12.5 MTOPS.

The administration first relaxed the restrictions in 1995,
varying the new limits based on four groupings of countries, the
estimated number of operations per second the computer could
perform, and whether the user would be a civilian or military
entity.

While the seven Tier IV countries (Iraq, Iran, Libya, North
Korea, Cuba, Sudan and Syria) would have no access to U.S. HPCs,
exports to countries in Tier III, which include many aspiring or
de facto nuclear weapons states, would be allowed, but closely
watched, particularly if the user was military.

As computers developed in capability, that special scrutiny,
licenses and security reviews, would be removed by the
administration for increasingly higher levels of computer
performance.

By 1999, the Commerce Department had approved more than $7
billion worth of high-performance computers for China, according
to Gary Milhollin, director of the Wisconsin Project for Nuclear
Arms Control.

“Now I Understand What Happened in Germany' - TWA Flight 800
From Jon Gentry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
8-29-00

Mike wrote...

I have been an avid student of history for most of my
life. I have studied the rise of the Nazi's to power in
Germany in the 1930's and have wondered why the
German people allowed this atrocity to unfold one step at
a time without objection until it resulted in the entire
destruction of their country and the death of millions of
people.

Yesterday, the United States National Transportation
Safety Board announced that TWA 800 was destroyed
by the explosion of the center fuel tank from an unknown
ignition source. They also stated that there was "NO"
evidence to support that the aircraft was shot down by a
missle.

Now I understand what happened in Germany.

*

W. Craig Roberts replies...

NTSB Rules that there is NO evidence of a missile or
bomb on TWA 800...

Let me see

1. Over 200 witnesses saw a missile or "flare" go up from
the water and turn, then hit the airplane, which then had
a small and following large explosion.

2. Some of these witnesses were military, in aircraft in
close proximity.

3. A Stinger missile mortar ejector can was found by a
trawler at the site.

4. All witnesses were "interviewed" by the FBI and told
that they DID NOT see a missile.

5. The CIA becomes involved and creates a cartoon
video that is totally different than the actual event to
explain it--in total defiance of the witnesses descriptions.

6. Evidence in the Calverton hangar is altered by bending
metal in opposite directions AFTER the reconstruction.

7. The FBI steals all evidence that shows missile
evidence and refuses to return it.

8. The NTSB investigation is run by the FBI.

9. Missile fuel residue is found on the seatbacks, but the
finder is prosecuted by the government.

10. Author James Sanders questions the government
findings, has analysis done on the seatback cloth, but HE
is the one prosecuted by the DoJ.

11. Radar tapes are confiscated and sealed by the FBI.

12. Radar tapes showed a missile, and other unusual
"watercraft" near the site.

13. The Navy lies and says on Day Two that there were
NO military vessels or aircraft in the vicinity. (Forget
about the USS Normandy, two UH-60 Blackhawks, a
P-3 Orion anti-sub aircraft, and a C-130, not to mention
a coast guard cutter and probably a submarine).

And so much more. Once again, the Clinton/Gore gang
engages in media mind control for the masses.

To all my dear friends surfing the internet:

This is clever, even funny, but it's not. Pray with me that
the American people will wake up. Some of you may
have had loved ones on Flight 800. Americans deserve

comments above are a "bullseye" of a hit. Only, the

[CTRL] Missing evidence ?

2000-08-29 Thread Tony Dickinson

 NTSB Rules that there is NO evidence of a missile or bomb on TWA 800...

That's not, however, to say that there wasn't any.
Is this statement to be taken as a statement of fact, or of belief ?

For the public record of fact or for public opinion ?

Rhetoric for public consumption is very loaded these days. (E.g.,
Clinton's "State of the Nation address" talked little about the state of
the Nation as I could interpret it. Most of the statements referred to
'current projections' and the like, rather than to actualities. I would
agree that the 'projections' themselves belonged to the present (at that
time) but the projected scenarios themselves certainly did not).

The lack of evidence is not evidence of absence - the findings as I
read them are not inconsistent with a missile impact. Although I
personally have no reason to believe that a missile did down TWA800, I see
no reason to dismiss the possibility (as yet) either. If we don't know, we
don't know, and in my view, that is an OK position for the informed
skeptic to hold. Denial of explanation is denial of responsibility for
understanding.

 Cheers,
Tony.

[CTRL] Was Diana's Death an Establishment Plot?

2000-08-29 Thread Shane A. Saylor, Eccentric Bard

Tuesday August 29 11:23 AM ET
Was Diana's Death an Establishment Plot?

LONDON (Reuters) - Three years after his son and Britain's Princess Diana
died in a Paris car crash, Mohamed al Fayed is as determined as ever to
prove to the world that the couple's death was the result of an
establishment plot.

His lawyers promise new revelations at a news conference in Washington on
Wednesday about the crash and an alleged $20 million fraud effort
surrounding secret documents on the couple held by America's Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA).

As strong as Fayed's belief that international governments and their spies
plotted to kill his son and Princess Diana, is his conviction that God has
chosen him to fight back.

``I will take on this power and this establishment,'' he told Reuters in an
interview. ``And God is helping me. Maybe God knows that I am committed to
opening it up for the people...so that they can see what kind of people are
in power.''

Fayed, the Egyptian-born multi-millionaire owner of chic London Harrods
department store, was once described by a commentator in Britain's Times
newspaper as ``the dark destroyer of reputations and livelihoods''.

The tragic Paris crash in August 1997 in which Fayed's son Dodi and Diana
were killed when their Mercedes smashed into the wall of a tunnel has
certainly blackened his view of almost anyone and everyone with power.

[CTRL] POWER!!! How to handle corporate extortion.

2000-08-29 Thread Nurev Ind Research

THE OBSERVER (London)   Sunday August 20, 2000

The electric chair Gore should fear

  by Gregory Palast

Normally laid-back Californians are in revolt over power deregulation, and
it could sway the US elections

While reporters this week wasted their papers' budgets in Los Angeles
covering the shadow puppetry called the Democratic Convention, America's
political future was being decided 80 miles south, in San Diego.

Here, where a bilious tumble of freeways, McDonald's and Wal-Marts smashes
up against the Mexican border, San Diego's 2.6 million residents have been
involuntarily enrolled as laboratory rats in a scary economic experiment.
Just weeks ago, San Diego became the first city in America to end the
regulation of electricity prices.

When California's state senate voted to bring the miracle of market
competition to electricity, they wrote right into the law that domestic
prices would fall by 'at least 20 per cent'. No points for guessing what
happened. The price for energy rose by 379 per cent compared with last
year.

Actually, Californians were lucky. I located Beth Emory, former counsel
for the agency that runs the daily power auction. She said that on the
first hot summer day, when California needed every bit of juice it could
find, generating companies bid in their electricity at $9,999 per unit.
This was 1,000 times the formerly controlled price of $10.

But San Diegans were fortunate. In their greed-crazed rush, the sellers
assumed the system's computers could only handle four-digit bids. In fact,
the computers would have accepted seven figures, taking bids high enough
to bankrupt half the families in the state in one day.

I have been able to trace San Diego's economic plague to the original
carrier: one Daniel Fessler. Fessler, the Golden State's former chief
utility regulator, flew to England some years ago and carried back with
him an infatuation with Margaret Thatcher's economic theorems and an
unnatural affection for her troubled offspring, the England and Wales
Power Pool.

The Pool, at around 4pm or so each day, is seized by a clique of
electricity companies which crank up prices by as much as 2,000 per cent.
Even Britain's somnolent regulators have twigged to the fact that this
supposed free-market auction house is, as Ofgem recently reported, a
playground for price-fixing and collusion.

One suspects California's politicos knew this. After all, the majority of
Britain's electricity system is owned by the same US operators that have
San Diego by the bulbs, including Enron (Houston), Edison International
(Los Angeles), PPL and Southern Company (Atlanta). This week, the last
pair took over Hyder, Wales's water and power utility.

But something extraordinary has happened in San Diego. Laid-back
Californians have leapt off their surfboards and are waving two fingers in
the air and chanting 'Boycott!'

The electricity companies can send out their bloated bills, but the tanned
masses are not going to pay. By the thousands and now, apparently, by the
tens of thousands, customers have simply continued to pay only the old,
lower, prices.

Joining the boycott this week: the city's school system, the Council of
Churches and even, without a hint of shame, the state senator who
sponsored the original deregulation law.

In Bolivia, when British-American, owner of the city of Cochabamba's
utility, hiked prices and customers boycotted bill payments, the
government confronted protesters with bullets and martial law.

But in California, protesters were met by panicked politicians. The
leftish governor of California, Democrat Gray Davis, drafted an emergency
law to knock back prices retroactively by 60 per cent. The state's utility
regulators effectively endorsed the revolt by barring San Diego Gas and
Electric from cutting off service to customers who refuse payments through
October (up to election day).

The Governor has launched an investigation into market manipulation.
According to consumer advocate Mike Florio, a member of the power system's
oversight panel, the governor won't have far to look. There is 'stacking
and cramming' (tricks learned in the UK) plus false scheduling and
transmission line games that have cost San Diego about $304 million this
summer.

On one day, for example, an Enron trader sold the state about 500
megawatts of power to go over a 15 mw line, which is like pouring a gallon
of gasoline into a thimble. This forced the system operators to make
costly emergency purchases, blowing market prices through the roof.

The power pirates are stunned by the public revolt. After all, though San
Diego prices have skyrocketed to about 10p per kilowatt hour, this is no
more than US power companies typically charge their British customers -
who endure the fleecing with a stoic shrug.

So what has got the beach bunnies up in arms? America's little secret is
that the New World Order of free markets and deregulation is for export
only. America has always

The Garrison Report

Chapter 5



Between 1963 and 1966, Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover successfully
contained public criticism about the Kennedy assassination investigation
through the Warren Report. In 1966, after the publication of two major
critical attacks by responsible critics, a gallup poll indicated that 66
percent of the American people no longer believed the Warren Report and the
Congress began to call for a new investigation. The fraudulent campaign to
blame the Kennedy assassination on what Hoover had called the "twisted mind"
of Lee Oswald, proved too transparent to stand up to public scrutiny, and the
need to divert attention away from the truth reemerged. The collapse of the
credibility of the Warren Report created a desperate vacuum which was
predictably filled by other absurd, distortions of truth. The Warren
Commission had successfully focused attention almost exclusively upon Lee
Harvey Oswald, and when it was determined that the assertions it expounded
were extremely frivolous, the pressure to develop another cover up to conceal
the truth produced bizarre Kennedy assassination publicity. Appropriately,
one of the emergent sources of disinformation was Las Vegas gangster, Johnny
Roselli. In late January 1967, Roselli's lawyer claimed that he had important
information about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Since two out of
three Americans disbelieved the Warren Report, Roselli promptly provided a
whole new version of "truth" to sell to the non-believers. Roselli's basic
claim was that Fidel Castro was responsible for the assassination of Kennedy.
Despite the seriousness of the allegation, the identity of Roselli was not
revealed to the public, and the accusation was exposed through a "blind
memorandum" prepared by Hoover's FBI and promoted through the press -in other
words, it was a public relations ploy sponsored by Lyndon Johnson, J. Edgar
Hoover and Mafia envoy, Johnny Roselli. Johnson immediately embraced the
rumour that a Cuban conspiracy was responsible for the assassination of
Kennedy, and when he was interviewed by television newsman, Howard K. Smith,
he dramatically asserted: "I'll tell you something that will rock you.
Kennedy was trying to get Castro, but Castro got him first."1 In retrospect,
the only genuine conclusion that can be derived from the public relations
campaign to blame the Kennedy assassination on Castro is the fact that
Hoover, Johnson and the Mafia deliberately promoted disinformation to cover
up the truth. Lyndon Johnson was clearly aware of the fact that Castro had
absolutely nothing to do with the Kennedy assassination. Indeed, beyond
promoting the false rumor, Johnson did absolutely nothing about investigating
it's authenticity -he didn't have to. After all, Johnny Roselli, the source
of the 'Castro got Kennedy' allegation, was obviously a transparent,
motivated liar. Roselli was a Mafia operative who had established Washington
contacts through his participation in what was publicly exposed to be the
CIA/Mafia plots to assassinate Castro, he was not a reliable source who was
prepared to expose the truth about the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Despite his "powerful contacts" however, Johnny Roselli was always getting in
trouble with the law, and the covert, anti-Communist operative who expected
prosecutorial immunity for colluding with the government, was willing to do
anything, including promote a government sponsored fraud, to secure the favor
he cultivated. Roselli certainly made his single-minded motivation clear when
he said: "Here I am helping the government helping the country, and that
little sonofabitch [Robert Kennedy] is breaking my balls. Let the little
bastard do what he wants. There isn't anything he can do to me... I got
important friends in important places in Washington that'll cut his water off.
2 One of Roselli's friends was evidently Jim Garrison, the District Attorney
of New Orleans. In 1967, according to the CIA, Roselli and Garrison had a
meeting in a Las Vegas hotel room. Garrison dismissed the allegation and
claimed that it was simply a part of a CIA disinformation campaign, but that
is certainly not supported by any credible evidence. Indeed, the fact that
both Jim Garrison and Johnny Roselli concocted stories to fill the vacuum
created by the discredited Warren Report strongly suggests that Garrison and
Roselli were partners in the crime to cover up the truth about the
assassination of John F. Kennedy and secret meetings in Las Vegas hotel rooms
provided the opportunity to plan strategy for the ongoing effort to maintain
the cover up. Ironically, it was not the CIA, as Garrison always insisted,
which was responsible for the Kennedy assassination cover up, but Jim
Garrison himself who monopolized the effort to cover up the truth since the
Warren Report was effectively

New Orleans

Chapter 6



Garrison's New Orleans was a hotbed of illegal, covert paramilitary
operations where corruption, disguise and deception had produced an
intelligence cottage industry. In the 1960's, it was the city where the
Mafia, anti-Castro exiles and self-styled intelligence spooks joined hands to
celebrate what they called their patriotic bonds and to condemn their common
enemies -Castro, Communists, Liberals... Entrenched interests dominated the
order of the day. In particular, New Orleans was a mature organized crime
haven, where political campaign contributions and outright bribery insulated
Mafia bosses like Carlos Marcello. In the final analysis, the power source of
the city that made its own rules and regulations as it went along, was the
cozy relationship between Mob Lords like Carlos Marcello and high ranking law
enforcement officials like Jim Garrison. In retrospect, the fact that the
city where evasion and denial was honed to a science, came to dominate the
Kennedy assasination investigation, is not at all surprising.

Unaccountable corruption is probably the most common feature of the politics
of the 1960's in New Orleans. Mobsters like Carlos Marcello relied upon "the
Fix" or the working relationship between public officials and the Mafia and
they were accustomed to sharing power. The sheer audacity of "the Fix" is
absolutely astounding. When the Kennedy Justice Department targeted Jimmy
Hoffa, the Mafia responded through the Governor of Louisiana, who set up a
meeting where the mob offered the key prosecution witness one million dollars
to change his testimony. It was a desperate, foolish bribe which was prompted
and ultimately exposed because a series of dynamite explosions fortunately
failed to murder targeted witness. In the face of such violent, blatant
corruption the fact that powerful Mafia Bosses like Carlos Marcello survived
criminal prosecution in the 1960's, is astounding and illuminating. In 1967, L
ife printed the following account of the Mob Lord: "He [Marcello] operates
through a complex of political Fixes which enable him to control the makers
and enforcers of law at every level of state govenment."2 Friends in high
places were clearly responsible for the lapse in American justice, which saw
the power of Marcello grow despite press scrutiny and astute Louisiana
newcomers like Aaron Kohn identified the peculiar flavour of New Orleans
"politicking" when he said: "After about a year, I began to realize something
about the system here. In Chicago, people were generally on one side of the
fence or the other -honest or crooked. But in Louisiana there just isn't any
fence".3 Jim Garrison, who was elected District Attorney in 1962, embodied
the fact that "the fence" had been dismantled when he claimed that the Mafia
did not exist despite his association with Marcello's henchmen. A frequent
guest of Mafia assets like Marcello's lieutenant, Mario Marino, who operated
the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, Garrison accepted the hospitality of the Mafia
and instead of cutting off his indebtedness, he said: "I may be naive -this
is my first public office -but I don't see what's wrong with it".4Frequent
meetings between Garrison investigator Pershing Gervais and Carlos Marcello,
further cemented the fact that in New Orleans, business was transacted in
cooperation with the Marcello Mafia. Like J. Edgar Hoover, Jim Garrison
responded to Life Magazine disclosures by using the power of his office to
manufacture the impression that organized crime did not exist. His tactics
may have been more flamboyant, but the end result was the same. Assuming both
the solemnity of a Benedictine monk and the pomposity of Al Capone, Garrison
solemnly declared: "If organized crime is found [through Grand Jury] to be
flourishing, I will resign as district attorney".5 By 1967, the fact that the
power and influence of organized crime was flourishing was not in dispute,
but Jim Garrison knew that he could easily persuade a Grand Jury into
believing whatever he wanted it to believe, and that is exactly what he did.

Favour and bribery were the currency of the corruption that had penetrated
the State of Louisiana. After being entertained at the Sands in Las Vegas,
Aubrey Young, Governor McKeithen's aide, who, like Garrison, accepted the
hospitality of Marcello associate Mario Marino, was seen passing $100 bills
to chorus girls when he was supposedly in debt.6 Young had direct, personal
contact with Marcello and admitted to having set up the meeting where a one
million dollar bribe was offered to silence a witness. Jim Garrison always
maintained the battle to pervert the truth and instead of admitting anything,
he directed a succession of Grand Jury inquiries and manipulated them to the
point where they all payed homage to the contention that there was no
evidence of

Vietnam

Chapter 7



While anti-Castro zealots directed hate and venom towards the Kennedys for
refusing to invade Cuba and for cracking down on paramilitary radicals,
Vietnam was quietly creating turmoil in Washington. Many Americans equated
the failure to contain Communism in Vietnam with the willingness to appease
Hitler by allowing him to cede the Sudetenland to Czechoslovakia in 1938 and
they were understandably obsessed by the violent determination to reject
another appeasement scenario. Others, like John F. Kennedy and Michael
Forrestal, the President's Assistant for Far Eastern Affairs, were not
subject to Munich invoked parallels and they tended to oppose what they
viewed to be futile military engagement in Southeast Asia. Armed with a
keener sense of history, they sought alternatives to waging war and their
determination to avoid the ground troop commitment that Johnson believed was
absolutely necessary, fell on deaf ears as soon as Kennedy was assassinated.
As long as he was alive, he courageously resisted every effort to coax him to
commit American ground troops to war in Southeast Asia and settled the uneasy
standoff by introducing a plan of gradual withdrawal, to be completed by
1965. Kennedy's will was abruptly reversed on the 22nd of November 1963.

With Kennedy out of the way, Johnson secretively escalated the Vietnam war
and publicly cloaked himself in the garb of a peace activist. The feigned
commitment to pursue the policy of John F. Kennedy was absolutely
disingenuous and removed from every single principle that Johnson held near
and dear to his heart. Indeed, it makes absolutely no sense at all, outside
of the context that Johnson was desperately seeking to disguise the
motivation that had claimed the life of President Kennedy. Only the need to
cover up the truth about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, was more
urgent than the perceived need to prosecute the Vietnam war. If Johnson
temporarily deferred his commitment to war in Southeast Asia and preached
peace in the interim, it is because he desperately needed to obscure the fact
that the primary motivation behind the Kennedy assassination was the
perceived need to prosecute the Vietnam war. Indeed, if, as all the evidence
indicates, Kennedy was murdered because he opposed the Vietnam war, nothing
was more pressing or urgent than the need to obscure the stark contrast
between the views of Kennedy and Johnson. And so, while Johnson claimed the
Kennedy rhetoric, he rejected the intent, and instead of fulfilling the
commitment to total withdrawal, win or lose, by 1965, he predictably did the
exact opposite.

In retrospect, the Johnson charade is glaringly transparent. Johnson was
emotionally committed to the need to win the Vietnam war since at least 1961,
yet between the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the staged Gulf of
Tonkin crisis which provided the opportunity to commit American ground troops
in 1965, Johnson did not publicly acknowledge or provide the slightest clue
about his determination to militarily contain communism in Southeast Asia.
Indeed, as he secretively escalated the war effort and quietly reversed
Kennedy's plans for withdrawal, Johnson publicly cultivated the impression
that he was actually a peace advocate. Through it all, between 1961 and 1968,
Johnson's determination to fight and to win the Vietnam war was absolutely
constant. It is only the public relations preoccupation to cover up the truth
about the Kennedy assassination which prompted Johnson to defer an American
ground troop commitment to war in Vietnam until 1965, when he had carefully
shifted the focus of attention away from Kennedy's commitment to withdrawal
and towards a staged crisis [Gulf of Tonkin] which made military
confrontation appear to be a reasonable response.

Kennedy was the only high-level official who had the power and the will to
resist an American ground troop commitment to war in Vietnam. Even a sterling
prize like Kennedy's Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, was a fierce advocate
who was determined to prosecute the Vietnam war. The persistent "can-do"
businessman viewed every problem in terms of its "manageability", and did not
entertain a single doubt about the power of aggression -if he could conquer
the corporate jungle at Ford he could do it in Vietnam, and nobody, not even
the President of the United States was big enough to stand in his way. What's
a single obstacle when you have your eye on the shareholders? As far as
McNamara was concerned, the Vietnam war was just another business challenge,
and with the Pentagon in his control, he was ready, willing and determined to
deploy the resources that the "company" demanded. As Secretary of Defense,
McNamara was a force to reckon. Armed with statistics that supported his
determination to impose a military solution, McNamara

In the Name of Duty

Chapter 8



The breed of men who occupied Kennedy's Cabinet promoted a brand of
duty-bound policy which harboured disdain for democratic principles. Men like
McGeorge Bundy, for example, were "the finest example of a special elite, a
certain breed of man whose continuity is among themselves. They are linked to
one another rather than to the country; in their minds they are responsible
for the country but not responsive to it."1 The so-called "Establishment men"
were ultimately loyal to a specific policy, not to the president of the
United States. Like Bundy, Dean Rusk, the man who became Kennedy's Secretary
of State was an "Establishment man par excellence." When Kennedy was elected
president, he expressed concern over the need to appoint the right person for
the right job, and if he was sceptical about who to appoint, the
Establishment had a ready list of professionals to run the government: "the
Establishment had long lists and it would be delighted to co-operate with the
young president, help him along."2 Dean Rusk, a quiet, disciplined,
hardworking "patriot" was appointed Secretary of State after he cautiously
and consciously, through Establishment channels, "slowly sidled into the
prime position."3The quiet, well organized campaign which focused upon Rusk
was extremely deliberate and thorough. In the spring of 1960, Rusk, who
rarely ever published, wrote an article which dealt with the role of the
Secretary of State. On November 22, 1960, Rusk wrote a letter to Kennedy
himself, which amongst other things, promoted liberal ideas, like Rusk's
claim that "the supreme court decision on integration was long overdue..."4
Rusk even got Chester Bowles, a liberal who was philosophically on the same
plane as Kennedy, to put a good word in for him. When Kennedy finally
selected Rusk, nobody was more surprised than the new Secretary of State
himself. Rusk's first meeting with Kennedy left him with the impression that
he could not communicate with the new President and he therefore did not
expect to be selected. Perhaps, if Kennedy had more carefully examined the
genuine temperament of Dean Rusk, he would have selected a Secretary of State
who was not as ideologically motivated as Rusk was. The "establishment
campaign" to have him nominated Secretary of State, was certainly
disingenuous in its single minded portrayal of "liberal Rusk". In 1950, when
Rusk was Assistant Secretary of State for Eastern Affairs, his speeches were
so violently anti Communist that "the blood" was "virtually dripping off the
teeth of the Chinese-Russian aggressor."5 In 1962, as the groundwork which
lead to the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty developed, Rusk exposed his disdain for
the agreement when he said: "I wouldn't make the smallest concession for
moral leadership. It's much overrated."6 Rusk didn't say very much, but he
certainly was consistent. He was apparently of the view that "misguided
liberals" played into the hands of the Communists, and anyone who opposed his
commitment to wage war against Communism was dead wrong. Rusk fervently
believed in the traditional military point of view that anti-Communist force
was not only always right, but always necessary. Above all, he was a very
predictable man. His traditional, inflexible views were the "Establishment's"
views, his pre-defined sense of duty charted a predictable course of action
that "played by the rules of the game and the rules were very strict..."7

Rusk's discipline, hard work and pre-defined commitments complemented the
philosophy of Lyndon Johnson, who felt extremely comfortable in the company
of Kennedy's Secretary of State. By contrast, the communication gap between
Kennedy and Dean Rusk became wider and wider as the passage of time exposed
the fundamental conflict between an ideologue and a non-ideologue. At any
rate, Kennedy, who ultimately viewed himself to be his own Secretary of
State, particularly when it came to a deadlocked foreign policy issue, was
not too concerned about Dean Rusk because he could always "pull rank". It is
Rusk who was deeply troubled by the so-called liberal meddlers he perceived
to be too incompetent to direct American foreign policy. Like Lyndon Johnson,
who passionately detested the time he served as Kennedy's Vice President,
being the Secretary of State under a "misguided liberal" like Kennedy was
equally unbearable for Rusk. Perhaps nothing reflects the irreconcilable
conflict between Rusk and Kennedy more than the single-minded,
etched-in-stone commentary that Rusk made whenever anybody expressed a point
of view which challenged his sense of a responsible foreign policy course of
action. When, for example, Ambassador Chester Bowles, after having returned
from a trip to Southeast Asia, suggested that the neutralization of Vietnam
was a viable political option to pursue, Dean Rusk

Chapter 28   The Heroin Hotline







After the president designated Myles Ambrose the administration's "drug czar"
in 1972, a nationwide program of public appearances and speeches was arranged
for him so that he could focus public attention on the administration's war
on heroin. "Anyone who isn't aware that President Nixon has been leading the
light against drug abuse hasn't been paying attention," Ambrose said In a
typical appearance before the 18th National Republican Women's Conference, at
the Bellevue Stratford Hotel, in Philadelphia, on May 20, 1972. "As the
president's special consultant on drug abuse, I can assure you that this is
true and not empty rhetoric The fight has been all the tougher because,
prior to 1969, the government napped for most of the decade while drug abuse
ballooned into a national epidemic." Though Ambrose proved to be a "highly
dramatic spokesman" for the administration, according to Krogh, the White
House also wanted him to undertake a more "media-oriented approach" which
could reach tens of millions of potential voters. At one meeting, in March,
1972, Ehrlichman suggested to Krogh that Ambrose should establish "some sort
of hotline system which could be nationally advertised on television
throughout the United States. Accordingly, in three weeks of frenetic
planning, Ambrose established a national heroin hotline system through which
citizens anywhere In the continental United States Could call, without
charge, a special ODA LE "Intelligence center" and report suspected heroin
sellers in their neighborhood. The intelligence center would then alert a
strike force in the area, which would immediately swoop down on the suspect.
To make, the hotline operational, ODALE took over a communications center
located in a mine shaft in Virginia, which was originally planned by the
Office of Emergency Preparedness as a nuclear-attack refuge for high White
House officials and was already wired for emergency telephone communications.
Geoffrey Sheppard, one of Krogh's young assistants on the Domestic Council,
later recalled, "When I first heard that Ambrose intended to put all those
narcotics agents in a fortified mine shaft in Virginia, I thought he was
being overly paranoid about the possibility of having his center attacked by
heroin pushers; they later told me that this was the only facility the White
House could find on three weeks' notice which had the necessary telephone
cables." In order to process the expected flood of telephone calls from
informers, ODALE leased twenty wide-area telephone systems (called WATS
lines) from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Almost the entire
staff of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, which had been established in
the White House after World War II to plan for nuclear disasters, was
requisitioned by Ambrose to man the telephones twenty-four hours a day.
Agents who had been transferred to ODALE, from the BNDD were reassigncd to
this mine shaft to evaluate the contents of the tips and, if they were
relevant, to pass the information on to the appropriately located strike
force. Since the success of the hotline depended on national publicity-the
entire citizenry of America had to be made aware of ODALE's toll-free
number-Ambrose contracted with Grey Advertising Agency, in New York City, for
a nationwide publicity campaign. Television licensees across the country were
expected to donate tens of millions of dollars' worth of free time on local
television stations for these advertisements from Ambrose's office. Since ther
e was no provision in the budget of any federal agency to pay the Grey
Advertising Agency for designing this campaign (which presumably would also
help alert the electorate to the Nixon administration's fight against heroin
dealers), Krogh arranged to finance Grey's work through grants from the
always available Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. In his April
7statement to the press Ambrose justified this hotline in terms of a new
"citizen's crusade." He explained, "To give each citizen the opportunity to
join in this battle, the president has today directed that a national heroin
hotline be established and manned twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Public-spirited citizens having information heroin traffickers are urged to
dial this number [800-368-5363]."

Since the hotline required that a large number of narcotics agents be
detached from ongoing investigations of major traffickers in order to process
telephone calls, BNDD director John Ingersoll was appalled by what he
considered to be nothing more than a "White House publicity stunt." He argued
that all analyses of heroin transactions showed that the vast preponderance
of addicts acquired their heroin supply from other addicts or from persons
with whom they had long-term ties, rather than from strangers who might be
likely to turn

Chapter 29 - The Philadelphia Story







To finance their 1972 plan to seize power within the federal government, the
White House strategists sought control over the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration, which had grown from its Inception in i968 to a nearly
$1-billion fund for dispensing grants by 1972. Donald J. Santarelli, the
young and very ambitious attorney in the Department of Justice who had
already demonstrated his loyalty to the White House group, having worked
closely with John Dean and Robert Mardian, was chosen by the president to
take over the administration of this agency immediately after the election.
The funds of LEAA could be used for financing groups which for one reason or
another did not wish to seek congressional appropriations as they were used
to fund, indirectly, the ODALE strike forces. The grants could also be used
to reward local politicians and police officials who cooperated with the
White House. To be sure, most of these funds were mandated by Congress to go
to the states in block grants, over which the White House had little control,
but there were still tens of millions of dollars left over for discretionary
grants - certainly an amount sufficient to finance the unorthodox projects of
the White House. Egil Krogh later explained, "Whatever discretionary money
there was ... in many cases would come directly to the White House, and be
addressed there by Mr. Ehrlichman, by my staff, and in some cases the
president directly It is very hard to separate the political interest
from the substantive interest', at times this lea s d you into dangerous
waters." When these discretionary grants came before the Domestic Council,
Krogh found that the "political dimensions ... and the substantive issues
were impossible to separate." He observed, "In terms of developing ILEAA]
programs, my office felt, first, yes, there is something that must be done as
a policy proposition, but it is also something that must be done to make a
political record in 1972."

As the election approached, the White House demanded that these discretionary
grants, originally intended by Congress to help local police departments, be
used for political muscle in the campaign. To illustrate how these grants
were usurped by the White House for political purposes, Krogh described for
me in considerable detail a case study of how $1 million was channeled to
Mayor Frank Rizzo in Philadelphia:

Mayor Rizzo had been making overtures to the president about his interest in
supporting Mr. Nixon for reelection in 1972. The president was smitten with
the idea of Rizzo supporting him and carrying the state of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Ehrlichman instructed me in 1972 to do all that was necessary to get Rizzo's
programs on narcotics and law enforcement on the line as soon as possible. I
was told to make sure that checks for federal funds were transmitted to his
office as fast as possible.

When Krogh asked Rizzo what "services" he could provide, the former police
chief and mayor of Philadelphia asked for immediate help in lowering the
crime statistics for his city before the election. The newly organized
Special Action Office for Drug Abuse Prevention in the White House had just
developed a program called Treatment Alternative to Street Crime, or TASC,
which arranged for heroin addicts with criminal records to be sent to
city-administered treatment programs rather than to jail when arrested for
some narcotics violation. If a substantial number of addicts were enrolled in
the TASC program in Philadelphia and the local police and courts cooperated
in not booking them for narcotics offenses or other minor crimes, there would
be an immediate decrease in the crime statistics in Philadelphia (although no
decrease in actual crimes). Realizing that such a program could bring some
immediate benefits before the election, Rizzo asked Krogh to rush it through.
Since Rizzo claimed that his staff had no idea even how to prepare the
applications for a grant from LEAA, Krogh dispatched Jeffrey Donfeld, his
former staff assistant and now a deputy in the Special Action Office for Drug
Abuse Prevention, to Philadelphia to assist Rizzo. Krogh recalled:

Donfeld was given a seventy-two-hour deadline to prepare the application
grant, have it sent to Washington, signed, and transmitted back to
Philadelphia. While he was in Philadelphia, I received a call from Mr.
Ehrlichman at Camp David, who asked me, prior to the deadline, whether the
check-as I recall, for one million dollars-had gone yet Mr. Ehrlichman
said it was the president's decision that the check was to go out by the
deadline and that there would be no excuses. Accordingly, the check was
transmitted to Rizzo, and he was able to announce very shortly thereafter a
greatly expanded mechanism in Philadelphia.

A few weeks later, Krogh paid a personal visit to Rizzo with

Opiates and Political Power in America

By Edward Jay Epstein

Chapter 30 - The Consolidation of Power



In March, 1972, the domain of the White House had been effectively extended
over all elements of the narcotics program except those in the Treasury
Department. The Nixon strategists had succeeded through the creation of new
offices in divorcing most of the domestic operations of BNDD agents from the
control of Ingersoll, who had been reduced through these maneuvers to little
more than a public spokesman for his own bureau. Rossides, however, still
remained to be dealt with at the Treasury Department. Ehrlichman and Krogh
thus planned, at the March 28 meeting of the Cabinet Committee on
International Narcotics Control, to emasculate what remained of Rossides's
power by announcing a presidential decision to curtail the overseas
operations of customs agents and place them under the direct control of the
cabinet committee, of which Krogh was executive director (and which, for all
practical purposes, he ran single handedly). Rossides, however, was not to be
so easily defeated: he persuaded Secretary of the Treasury Connally to
intervene. The day of the meeting, Connally "pulled an end play," according
to Krogh, by walking straight past Ehrlichman into the president's office and
then emerging arm in arm with him later. In the few minutes that intervened
Connally had persuaded the president to reverse the entire decision urged on
him by Elirlichman and Krogh. At the opening of the meeting the president
announced that Customs was to be allowed to send additional agents overseas
to investigate narcotics cases, and that the earlier guidelines restricting
Customs were to be eased. Krogh realized that he had seriously underestimated
the determination of Rossides, but it was only a minor defeat for the
Domestic Council and a Pyrrhic victory for the Treasury Department.

Claiming that the narcotics program was again fragmented among the Bureau of
Customs, the Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous
Drugs, and the new offices, the White House ordered plans to be drawn up for
a new superagency into which all the competing law-enforcement agencies
involved in the drug program could be merged. In effect, this new agency
would be little more than an expansion of the ODALE concept: the
investigative agents of the Bureau of Customs and the Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs would be merged into this new agency along with prosecutors
who handled narcotics cases. The Office of National Narcotics Intelligence
would also be folded into this new agency. In size, it would resemble a
smaller version of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; it would have both
extraordinary search authority (deriving from that of customs agents) and
electronic-surveillance powers. It would also have liaisons with the
target-selection committee of the Internal Revenue Service and the Central
Intelligence Agency. Reorganization Plan Number Two, as the new scheme was
officially called, would also allow the White House to replace all the top
civil servants and careerists with White House loyalists. Not only would this
new agency be free of bureaucratic restraints but it would be headed by
Ambrose, according to some speculation. It was also assumed by certain
members of the White House staff that Sullivan, Liddy, and Hunt would play
important roles in the intelligence gathering activities of this new unit.

Rossides foresaw that the creation of this new superagency would eliminate
all the checks and balances that traditionally limited law enforcement
operations in the field of narcotics, and, although nominally located in the
Department of Justice, it would give the White House de facto control over
strike forces and investigative agents. In the battle of memoranda that
followed, Rossides argued that ODALE "was ill conceived, alienated local
enforcement officials and was counterproductive," and that "consolidating
these vast powers destroys traditional checks and balances (and] violate[s]
the fundamental American criminal justice concept of separation of the
investigating function and the prosecuting function." The White House,
however, moved ahead with its consolidation. A three-man hearing board was
set up to hear the objections of Rossides, Ingersoll, and others, but since
two of its members, Donald Santarelli and Geoffrey Sheppard, were close
colleagues of Krogh's and committed to the "reorganization," all objections
were easily overridden. (The third member of the panel, Mark Alger, a staff
member of the Office of Management and Budget, also approved the
consolidation on grounds that it was more "efficient"-which no doubt it was.)
To be sure, Congress had the power to veto an executive reorganization plan,
but in an election year few Congressmen were willing to oppose a new

[CTRL] Hillary Rodham Hilton selects child Lazio as her candidate

2000-08-29 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

LAZIO STRIKES RIGHT 'NOTE' IN HIS LATEST FUND-RAISING LETTER

Tuesday,August 29,2000

By ROBERT HARDT Jr. and GREGG BIRNBAUM


CAMPAIGN BUZZ

RICK LAZIO'S "urgent" new fund-raising letter cuts to the chase.

In the notecard-size mailing, Lazio tells potential donors he
needs only six words to convince them to grab their checkbooks:
"I'm running against Hillary Rodham Clinton."

"Sincerely, Rick Lazio."

It's short, but dynamite - even if it doesn't quite fit with
Lazio's insistence that he is much more than simply the
"un-Hillary."

One contributor got the point and offered a three-word response
with her $100 - "I'm a Democrat."

Other supporters have needed more space when scribbling their
feelings about the first lady on their checks - some of them not
fit for a family newspaper.

"I would rather have the most severe, intense, indescribable case
of diarrhea for six years" than have Hillary elected, one person
wrote.

*

An Israeli official is charging that a dinner in New York to
honor the president and the first lady for their work in
recovering property plundered from Holocaust victims is a thinly
veiled pro-Hillary campaign event.

Israeli parliament member Michael Kleiner said the Sept. 11 gala
- organized by Clinton friend and World Jewish Congress leader
Edgar Bronfman - is taking place at the wrong time, in the wrong
place.

"I think it is very grave that an important national Jewish
matter like the property of Jews is turned into an American
political event," Kleiner fumed, according to the Hebrew-language
Ha'aretz newspaper.

Organizers denied any connection with Hillary's campaign and said
dignitaries will include Republicans, possibly Al D'Amato and
Gov. Pataki. Lazio has not been invited.

*

Hillary's swing through the Hudson Valley over the weekend didn't
go off without a few hitches.

The first lady, who was introduced as "Mrs. Hilton" at a women's
event in Nyack, at one point referred to Lazio as "my candidate."

She also mistakenly claimed her opponent is supporting a large
"tax increase" - when she meant to say decrease.

Meanwhile, Clinton backer Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-Saugerties)
stooped to some name-calling when introducing Hillary at an
appearance in Newburgh.

"We shall not send a child to do an adult's work," Hinchey said.
"Let us send an adult to represent us in the Senate of the United
States.

[CTRL] OT: CANCER VACCINE SAID TO BE 'POSSIBLE'

2000-08-29 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

X DRUDGE REPORT X TUES AUG 29, 2000 21:52:43 ET X

CANCER VACCINE SAID TO BE 'POSSIBLE'

A universal vaccine against almost all types of cancer could be
within sight, new research showed today.

Although such a breakthrough is still far away, American
scientists now have the first functional evidence that it may be
possible.

They found that a protein produced in all major human cancers can
stimulate the development of immune cells when used as the basis
of a vaccine.

The immune cells generated ** kill ** multiple, ** unrelated **
human ** cancer ** cells in the test tube and also slow the
growth of tumours in living mice.

As with vaccines that prevent other diseases, the aim is to use a
bit of the "bad" protein, or antigen, to make the body recognise
it as a target which is then attacked with an army of immune
cells.

Professor Eli Gilboa, from Duke University Medical Centre in
Durham, North Carolina, who headed the research, said: "The
thinking has been that because every cancer is different -
melanoma, breast, etc. - that each cancer has its own specific
set of antigens that must be used for a vaccine.

"We're looking for a universal antigen - one antigen to try to
treat every cancer patient."

The findings were published today in the journal Nature Medicine.

Professor Nick Lemoine from the Imperial Cancer Research Fund's
Molecular Oncology Unit raised concerns about the prospects for a
vaccine.

He said: "The idea that it might be possible to create a
universal vaccine for all cancers is appealing, but ** unlikely
** to be achieved because there are so many different types of
cancer."

Those old enough to remember the March of Dimes efforts to cure
polio in the 1950's will perhaps recall that the March of Dimes
did not close up shop when they had achieved their goal ... they
just broadened their mission to include other childhood diseases
...

-- Note Lemoine's last sentence and compare it to the other **'d
stuff further up ... I may be a cynic here, but I have said for
years that there will be no cure for cancer until more people are
dying from it than are making a living from it.

One thing, Hillary is in a man's world now and Lazio fortunately is
still a gentleman.but running against a woman is rather an unfair
disadvantage.

The man I most admired when I was in the political arena, was the one
who would not take any crap from me.

[CTRL] Fwd: Turner Attacks Christianity at U.N. 'Peace Summit'

2000-08-29 Thread Aleisha Saba

So I thought Turner had sobered up and realized he had married Jane
Hanoi Fonda.evidently he is still in the after glow.

You see the popular communist/NWO plan in order to take over,
Catholic/Protestant Church must die.to destroy the Church without
leaving something of valuelook at America today and see the truth
and the consequences of a society who desires our children to self
destruct...AIDS, Homosexuality - and the UN - well, Turner has a big
mouth especially when a few drinks or other aids of a different color.

    Turner Attacks Christianity at U.N. 'Peace Summit'
Austin Ruse
Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2000
Any pretense that the "World Peace Summit" is anything other than a
cover for a left-leaning agenda was stripped away as American media
mogul Ted Turner addressed nearly 1,000 hooting delegates Tuesday in the
U.N. General Assembly Hall.
New Age billionaire Maurice Strong introduced Turner by saying he had
done more for peace, the environment and the United Nations than any
other person. Turner bounded toward the podium as the cheering crowd
seemed to welcome a conquering hero.
Immediately Turner denounced his own childhood Christian faith. The
crowd's laughter turned to approving whoops as Turner explained he
turned away from Christianity when he discovered "it was intolerant
because it taught we were the only ones going to heaven. That confused
the devil out of me since that would have left heaven a very empty
place."
Turner's meandering, off-the-cuff speech praised "indigenous" religious
faiths and then wandered through a paean to the things all humans have
in common – "culture, language, love of birds, butterflies, wives and
flowers." In his spiritual search Turner realized that there was one God
and multiple ways he manifests himself and that it makes little
difference which one is chosen. This approach is precisely what
evangelical Christians fear about the World Peace Summit.
Among a small group of conservative Christians monitoring the event,
Darren Logan, foreign policy analyst for the Washington-based Family
Research Council, called Turner's speech "the most blasphemous thing I
have ever heard in my life."
Logan said Turner advanced the notion of "reductionism," which suggests
that all religions are essentially the same. "Turner believes true
tolerance means doing away with the uniqueness of all faiths and
marginalizing all faiths that profess an exclusive component, like
Christianity and Islam," said Logan.
Contrasted with the enthusiastic reception for Turner's left-leaning
remarks, the delegates gave an icy reception to the Patriarch of
Ethiopia, who urged protection for unborn children. The same reaction
greeted the assistant secretary general of the Muslim World Congress
when he urged delegates to recognize only marriage between "a man and a
woman" and denounced all "abnormal sexual activities."
Minutes later a Buddhist "master" received a standing ovation when he
condemned all attempts at religious conversion, something at the heart
of Islam and Christianity.
As it is, the summit is taking place under a cloud for excluding the
Dalai Lama under pressure from the government of China; and evangelical
Christians have pointed out that only one representative from their
ranks, the Rev. Billy Graham's daughter, has appeared at the podium.
The reaction of the delegates fuels the growing suspicion that the
permanent advisory to be established here will simply rubberstamp the
agenda of Ted Turner, Maurice Strong and other powerful leftists working
within the U.N. system.

   THE GARRISON INVESTIGATION

Long before someone killed President Kennedy in Dallas,
New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison had sufficient testimony
from police informants to suspect that Carlos Marcello was planning
a presidential assassination. Rumors about this were on the
Organized Crime grapevine in Louisiana.

 Garrison informed the Secret Service about his suspicions.

 Acting on Garrison's lead, the Secret Service investigated
Carlos Marcello six months before the Kennedy assassination but
they turned up nothing.

 Garrison had collected enough data during 1963 however to
deduce that Carlos Marcello had probably hired David Ferrie to fly
professional assassins to some location to commit some sort of
politically-motivated assassination.

 On the morning of November 25, 1963, the morning after Ruby
shot Oswald in Dallas, Garrison had David Ferrie deposed in
New Orleans.

 After a lengthy interrogation session, District Attorney
Garrison turned Ferrie over to the FBI and the Secret Service.
Garrison strongly recommended to those agencies that they should
use their intelligence files to determine what role David Ferrie
had played in the JFK assassination.

 Quite inexplicably, the FBI and the Secret Service released
Ferrie after a seemingly perfunctory questioning.

 So Garrison began to prepare a criminal indictment against
David Ferrie on charges including conspiracy to assassinate the
president. Unfortunately, Garrison took three months to assemble
the indictment and that was too long, as things turned out.


 On February 22, 1964, three months to the day after the
assassination in Dallas, David Ferrie permitted an interview in his
New Orleans apartment with Washington Post reporter George Lardner.
During the interview, Ferrie told Lardner that unknown men had
contacted him early in 1963. They requested that he transport a
team of foreign assassins into and out from the United States.
Ferrie said that when he discovered that the target was to be the
president, he turned down the proposal.

 Later that day, February 22, Ferrie's landlord found his body
in his apartment, naked and dead.
