[CTRL] NYT: Judge Orders U.S. to Turn Over Data in Secrets Inquiry
Judge Orders U.S. to Turn Over Data in Secrets Inquiry NYTimes By JAMES STERNGOLD ALBUQUERQUE, Aug.29 -- A federal judge today ordered the government to turn over what could amount to thousands of pages of classified internal documents to help him determine whether there is evidence that the former Los Alamos nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee was unfairly singled out for prosecution because he is Chinese-American. The judge, James A. Parker, also rejected government efforts to impede or add new restrictions to his decision last Thursday ordering the Dr. Lee's release on bail. The scientist was arrested and indicted last December on charges that he had illegally downloaded a virtual library of nuclear weapons secrets. Dr. Lee, who has spent more than eight months in close to solitary confinement, could be released to a form of home detention as early as Friday afternoon, after a three-day period in which prosecutors can seek to file an appeal. The decision on the documents indicates that Judge Parker at least believes there are some grounds for the defense's assertions that Dr. Lee was a suspect because of his ethnicity, not because of the facts, and that others who violated or were suspected of violating security laws were not prosecuted. Although Dr. Lee is not charged with espionage, he was initially investigated for years on suspicions that he had given highly sensitive nuclear weapons secrets to China. Dr. Lee was born on Taiwan and is a naturalized American citizen. Although government officials have said they have no evidence that Dr. Lee spied for anyone, they have claimed in court that Chinese spies routinely seek out Chinese-Americans in their clandestine recruitment activities. Selective prosecution motions very rarely lead to the dismissal of a case and the judge's decision represents only a small victory for the defense. Once the documents are handed over, by Sept. 15, the judge would inspect them privately and decide whether they should be handed over to the defense. The defense could then use them to argue that the case should be dismissed. In its motions, the defense provided statements from two former senior counterintelligence officials, Robert Vrooman of Los Alamos National Laboratory and Charles Washington of the Department of Energy, asserting that Dr. Lee might have been a subject of racial profiling and that he had been pursued at least partly because of his Chinese ancestry. Such concerns have led a number of civil rights groups, from the American Civil Liberties Union to the Asian Law Caucus, to take up Dr. Lee's cause and file briefs on his behalf. The judge ordered that the government provide several categories of documents that the defense has been seeking. He ordered the release of some secret testimony provided to Congress about the investigation, classified material that the Department of Energy collected last year for a report on whether the agency had engaged in racial profiling, State Department records on security breaches by employees that were not prosecuted and a counterintelligence training tape that the defense says encourages racial profiling. He also sought statements by a former counterintelligence official at the Energy Department, Notra Trulock, that the investigation should focus on ethnic Chinese and Mr. Trulock's full list of suspects. In addition, he sought F.B.I. reports on the number of people who had access to information about the advanced warhead that the government believes may have been leaked to China, as well all reports on administrative inquiries by the Energy Department or the Los Alamos National Laboratory on improper handling of classified data from 1987 to the present. The issue of bail, which Judge Parker granted on Thursday after two earlier denials, was crucial in the minds of many of Dr. Lee's supporters today, as well as to the government, which continued to argue that Dr. Lee presented a grave threat to national security. Dr. Lee is charged with downloading weapons test and design data onto 10 portable computer tapes, 7 of which are missing. Dr. Lee has indicated through his lawyers that he destroyed the tapes, but the government maintains that if he spirited them away to a hostile power after his release they could alter the global balance of power. By granting bail, the judge appears to have accepted the defense's claims that those assertions are exaggerated. And while the judge also rejected the government's request for a seven-day stay of Dr. Lee's release on $1 million bail, he did grant a three-day stay to give prosecutors time to prepare an appeal and receive permission to file it from the United States solicitor general. The judge reversed his denial of bail to Dr. Lee after receiving new information at a hearing two weeks ago, including an F.B.I. agent's admission that he had provided incorrect testimony on several critical issues, which made Dr. Lee appear deceitful when he had not been.

[CTRL] WT: Woman who questioned Gore now faces IRS inquiry
Woman who questioned Gore now faces IRS inquiry By Bill Sammon THE WASHINGTON TIMES-August 30, 2000 The woman who sharply questioned Vice President Al Gore at a town-hall meeting about Juanita Broaddrick's rape accusation against President Clinton has become the subject of an inquiry by the Internal Revenue Service. "I find it very suspicious," said Katherine Prudhomme, who subjected Mr. Gore to several long, uncomfortable minutes of questioning about the Broaddrick case in December. "I feel like I'm being harassed." Mrs. Prudhomme said she was notified of the IRS inquiry on Aug. 18, one day before she delivered a long-planned speech about Mrs. Broaddrick outside Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate campaign headquarters in New York. After the speech, she walked into the headquarters and gave a videotape of Mrs. Broaddrick's NBC interview to a campaign aide, asking that it be forwarded to Mrs. Clinton. Although the IRS did not initiate a formal audit of Mrs. Prudhomme, the tax agency has demanded expense forms pertaining to her daughter's schooling in 1998. "My taxes are far too simple for them to audit me," she told The Washington Times. "So they said I owe them $1,500 if I don't come up with these forms from my child's school that I sent in two years ago and that they must have lost. It doesn't make sense." Mrs. Prudhomme, a homemaker in Derry, N.H., is doubly suspicious because in June she accused the IRS of auditing Mrs. Broaddrick's nursing home business "for political reasons." The accusation was contained in an op-ed newspaper column that also questioned audits of Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and Elizabeth Ward Gracen, all of whom have accused Mr. Clinton of sexual affairs or advances. "We certainly don't target people" for political reasons, said an IRS spokesperson who asked to remain anonymous. "The IRS strictly adheres to a standard of reviewing cases only when there are questions involving tax law. No other factors enter into our procedures." Gore spokesman Jano Cabrera said: "We have nothing to do with the IRS or its activities." The Prudhomme case recalls the case of Glenn and Patricia Mendoza, who were attending a festival in Chicago in July 1993 when they encountered Mr. Clinton, who staged an impromptu visit to shake hands with voters. Mrs. Mendoza was the first person the president approached, but she refused to shake his hand. "You suck, and those boys died," Mrs. Mendoza told Mr. Clinton, referring to the June 1993 truck-bombing at a U.S. barracks in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. servicemen. After the president departed, the Secret Service apprehended the Mendozas, who were accused of unruliness. They were arrested by Chicago police and later investigated by the IRS. After the tax agency's inquiry was publicized by The Times, the IRS dropped the matter, blaming it on a "computer error." Yesterday, Mr. Mendoza said he was not surprised that Mrs. Prudhomme has been targeted. He said he sympathizes with her plight because IRS secrecy makes it impossible to prove the tax agency is motivated by reasons of politics rather than finance. "Nobody believes you that's the hard part," he said. "It sounds like you're a nut case. And so they're really in a quite unique position to keep doing this to people." In an effort to find concrete evidence of political motivation, Mrs. Prudhomme has enlisted Judicial Watch, a conservative legal foundation that has long been a thorn in the Clinton-Gore administration's side. Yesterday, Judicial Watch invoked the Freedom of Information Act in requesting any documents pertaining to Mrs. Prudhomme that might exist in the offices of Mr. Gore, Mr. Clinton, the IRS, the Secret Service and the FBI. "We blanketed everybody," said Judicial Watch chairman Larry Klayman. "There's an eerie symmetry here in that our client, Juanita Broaddrick, gets a tax audit after she sues the White House." The Clinton-Gore IRS has targeted the National Rifle Association and numerous conservative organizations and individuals who have crossed the administration. The audits sparked the first congressional inquiry of accusations of political abuses by the IRS since the Nixon era, although the tax agency has steadfastly denied political motivations. Mrs. Prudhomme, a self-described "rape survivor," flummoxed Mr. Gore during the town-hall meeting by asking him if he believed Mrs. Broaddrick's claim that Mr. Clinton once raped her. Last year's interview of Mrs. Broaddrick by NBC's Lisa Myers electrified the nation, 80 percent of whom told pollsters they believed her story. "My question to you is not a question about you being a presidential candidate, but a question to you as a husband, a father and a student of Christianity," Mrs. Prudhomme told the vice president. "When Juanita Broaddrick made the claim, which I found to be quite credible, that she
[CTRL] LT: Winning is bottom line for Lazio
London Times-August 30 2000 Winning is bottom line for Lazio FROM DAMIAN WHITWORTH IN NEW YORK TO UNDERSTAND fully the difficulty that Hillary Clinton faces in trying to launch her political career, one had to see the way in which the macho baseball star slapped her opponent's bottom. Rick Lazio was hanging out with the New York Mets, the team he has supported all his life. He was chatting and joking with Bobby Valentine, the famously loudmouthed team manager, when he was honoured with the kind of special moment that New York baseball fans dream about. Baseball players are a tactile bunch and one of their trademark gestures - particularly between a manager and one of his star players - is the gentle pat on the backside. Mr Valentine treated Mr Lazio like one of his best sluggers. "Hey, y'know you look tired," he told the Congressman as his hand moved casually cheekwards. Mr Lazio, surrounded by cameramen, looked delighted. "Yeah, y'know, you gotta keep goin'." Pat-pat. "We gonna put these caps on, or are you worried you'll mess yer hair up?" Patty-pat-pat. Mr Lazio's trademark boyish grin was wider than ever. And the point was made; Mr Lazio is a real New Yorker who gets a warm reception at baseball games. Mrs Clinton, a recent arrival in New York via Illinois, Arkansas and Washington, cannot go to a New York ballgame, let alone have her bottom patted there (even if anyone was brave enough to try). Her hamfisted attempts to adopt the Mets' archrivals, the New York Yankees, have earned her ridicule. She invited the team to the White House, was photographed looking uncomfortable in a Yankees cap and even said she had "always been a Yankees fan", when everyone knew she has always been a Chicago Cubs fan. This out-of-towner status has become one of Mr Lazio's chief lines of attack. The other prong of his offensive is simply to carry on not being Mrs Clinton. There is a hard core of people who will never vote for the First Lady - her negative rating remains solidly around 45 per cent - and Mr Lazio, a 42-year-old Italian-American with a conspicuously happy marriage and an impish smile, is counting on shifting that number up enough to clinch the race. To that end, he is as happy to play hard ball as he is to be seen following baseball. This week, for example, claiming that Mrs Clinton had launched a negative attack on his record, he aired what looked very much like a negative television advert, which concluded: "Hillary Clinton: you just can't trust her." Mrs Clinton's campaign screamed: "Hypocrisy." On the baseball field, Mr Lazio chuckled - "Clinton campaigns seem to survive on taking the cheap hit," he said - before retiring to the owner's box, where a "Hillary doormat" was on the threshold. It bore the legend "I've always been a Yankee fan" above a picture of Mrs Clinton. Mr Lazio wiped his feet extravagantly. "I've got to get this dirty," he said. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] WSJ: Joe Lieberman, Radical Historian
IN WRITING Joe Lieberman, Radical Historian The senator's 1970 book is a masterpiece of Cold War moral equivalency. BY IRA STOLL Wednesday, August 30, 2000 12:01 a.m. EDT So you thought Al Gore's book "Earth in the Balance" was flaky? Check out his running mate Joseph Lieberman's little-noticed 1970 volume on arms control and the origins of the Cold War, "The Scorpion and the Tarantula." It's a masterpiece of moral equivalency in which Mr. Lieberman draws a parallel between Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and the American Monroe Doctrine of maintaining influence in the Western hemisphere. The book's title comes from a quote from Cold War historian Louis Halle, who contended that the Cold War "is not fundamentally a case of the wicked against the virtuous. Fundamentally, it is like the case of the scorpion and the tarantula in the bottle, and we may properly feel sorry for both parties, caught as they are, in a situation of irreducible dilemma." In the preface to his 1970 book, Mr. Lieberman wrote that "this is the spirit in which I have recorded what my research has revealed." The only problem is that, as most Americans have by now realized--and as those stuck behind the Iron Curtain at the time knew all too well--the Cold War was a case of the wicked against the virtuous. The Soviets were the wicked ones, depriving the Russian people and those in their puppet states of freedom of the press, of religion, of emigration. Mr. Lieberman interpreted the communist talk of international domination as mere bluster, and he wrote that Americans should have known better than to take it seriously: "One of the primary causes of the failure to achieve international atomic control and the concurrent failure to prevent the cold war was the inability of America's statesmen and people to see through the avalanche of Communist rhetoric and deal with Soviet foreign policy as something shaped by Russia's unique history and guided by the Russians' conception of their national interest. In this more accurate light, Russia's goals are seen to be more limited and less in conflict with America's." When it came to American activity in Latin America, Mr. Lieberman sounded like a campus radical, or at least George McGovern. "Consistency was not one of the characteristics that marked America's side of the argument over the fate of Eastern Europe," he wrote. "While protesting the creation of a Soviet sphere of influence in Eastern Europe on the theory that it would constitute a return to the evil days of international power politics that has caused two world wars, the United States nevertheless zealously protected its own sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere. From the earliest enunciation of the Monroe Doctrine right down to the twentieth century, America has proved itself willing to resort to arms to keep anti-American governments out of power in Latin America." Has Mr. Lieberman reassessed his views, or does he still see the Cold War as a battle between a scorpion and a tarantula, a war that America shared equal guilt for starting and in which American calls for democracy and Soviet talk of world domination were each merely rhetoric? After I inquired about the matter, the senator issued a statement that distanced himself from the book without totally disavowing it. "Few of us view the world through the same lenses in our 50s as we did in our 20s," the senator said. "The Scorpion and the Tarantula was written more than 30 years ago and certainly does not reflect my thinking about foreign policy or our national security today. As the Cold War progressed, and the actions by the Soviet Union to subjugate the people of Eastern Europe intensified and the Soviet military build-up increasingly threatened the United States and the free world, I became a strong advocate of military readiness and of using our military power when necessary to oppose any such tyranny. My voting record since I have been in the Senate much more accurately reflects my positions than does this 30-year-old book." Mr. Lieberman's statement is somewhat reassuring. But rather than admitting he was wrong at the time he wrote the book, he tries to explain it by suggesting that the Soviets somehow worsened their behavior after 1970. In fact, the crushing of the Prague Spring, the construction of the Berlin Wall and Stalin's forced collectivization campaign all happened before Mr. Lieberman wrote his book. The Soviet Union threatened the free world from the very inception of that totalitarian state in a coup by a group of Bolshevik thugs, not as a result of some post-1970 increase in aggressiveness imagined by Mr. Lieberman. The Cold War is over, and there are other issues to vote on in November. But there are still plenty of scorpions and tarantulas out there on the international scene. And when it comes time to deal with them, you get the sense that the Bush-Cheney team, with their cowboy boots and Reagan-era foreign policy
[CTRL] WW: Republican Senators Subverted the Rule of Law
We're entitled to a trial. Why are we being sold out? You're double-crossing us. We've done our duty; it's up to you to do your duty. We are all Republicans. You are going to let them make fools out of us." - James Rogan, House Manager Republican Senators Subverted the Rule of Law Editorial By MARVIN LEE Many Americans were angered by the hypocrisy and cowardice displayed in public by U.S. Senators during the Impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton. But it is nothing compared to the hypocrisy and cowardice they displayed behind closed doors. David Schippers, Chief Investigative Counsel for the House Impeachment Committee, now reveals what happened behind those closed doors. His new book "Sellout" [1] leaves one with contempt for Republican Senators and for the mainstream media which in this case as in all others was used as a propaganda instrument by the White House. Republican Senators had the majority to set the rules of the Impeachment, but were so afraid of the White House and the Democrats that they let the Democrats set the rules: "You know," Lott said, "we've been discussing this with the Democrats, and everybody wants a fair hearing but we don't want to spend weeks on this. We can't just shut down the Senate. We have important matters to address." The House managers fought the Republican Senate leadership to get a fair shot at a trial in the Senate. Congressman Jim Rogan of California said to Lott: We're entitled to a trial. Why are we being sold out? You're double-crossing us. We've done our duty; it's up to you to do your duty. We are all Republicans. You are going to let them make fools out of us." Senator Stevens of Alaska expressed an even greater contempt for the rule of law: "After having just been told by the Senate leadership that in effect the trial was over before it began, [Chairman Hyde] said: "I doubt if you would want to get the Senators on record, before a trial, stating they would never vote for impeachment." Senator Stevens interrupted, "We could get them for you tonight." "Then do that and let America see who has prejudged this case before trial." That shut Stevens up, at least temporarily. Indeed, none of the Senators ever took a single look at the evidence that convinced House members to vote for Impeachment. Shippers' staff kept a log of who entered the secure room in the Ford building to look at the boxes of secret evidence gathered by Kenneth Starr against the president. No Democrat member of Congress ever took a look at the evidence before the vote on impeachment. Of the 65 congressmen who saw the evidence, 65 were Republicans, and 64 voted for Impeachment. The evidence included a clear pattern, or modus operandi, of intimidation of witnesses: Dolly Kyle Browning, Juanita Broaddrick and other "Jane Does" received the same package from White House lawyers. The package included a false affidavit, a motion to quash the motion to be deposed, and a memorandum of law supporting the motion. The evidence also included Shippers' staff's interview of Juanita Broaddrick in which she related that she was raped twice, not once. After the first rape Clinton said "My god, I can do it again!" And he did. When Juanita's husband approached Clinton later and said "Don't go near her or near her home; don't you even so much as look at her," Clinton responded: "I didn't know she was with you when that happened." Other revelations Among the other revelations made in the book: (*) The Bureau of Prisons covered up the murder of an inmate by a prison official. (*) The Department of Justice ignored criminal referrals from the Healthcare task force led by Hillary Clinton, and from serious campaign abuses in New York. (*) The jogger who threatened Kathleen Willey before her deposition by Jones' lawyers threatened her lawyer as well. (*) After Kathleen Willey's deposition with White House layers present, the skull of a small animal was left in front of her door. Willey's cat had been missing for a few days. The M.O. of Clinton's Mob friends. In fact, David Schippers refers to the large amount of evidence against the president that remains under seal for the next 50 years: "A great deal of evidentiary material remains under seal or in the executive protection of the House Judiciary Committee. While I cannot discuss that evidence, except in general terms, I am free to reveal other evidence and testimony that my staff developed independently, both during the oversight investigation of the Justice Department and while engaged in the impeachment inquiry. Some of that material is discussed in this book. In the telling, neither political party will be happy. But so be it." If the United States recovers from this wholesale subversion of the rule of law, we fortunately do have a very accurate

[CTRL] WT: Army training centers get failing grades
Army training centers get failing grades By Rowan Scarborough THE WASHINGTON TIMES More than half of Army combat and support training centers have plunged to the lowest possible readiness level, with some commanding generals warning they risk not being able to turn out qualified soldiers, internal documents say. The sensitive Army reports show that of 20 schools for such critically important skills as field artillery, infantry and aviation, 12 have dipped to a C-4 rating, the military's lowest. "In the three-year period since the time I was assistant commandant to now, I have never seen a resource picture so bleak. And as we know, it will get worse," said a report from Maj. Gen. Tony Stricklin, commander of the Army Field Artillery School at Fort Still, Okla. The documents paint a disturbing picture of training within the very system designed to teach basic combat skills and prepare soldiers for real-life operations. The skills include artillery and missile firings, helicopter aviation, land combat and intelligence. Some of the lowest-ranked training sites include the Army Aviation Center at Fort Rucker, Ala.; the Army Intelligence Center at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.; and the Army Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Okla. "Let me clearly state the U.S. Army Field Artillery School is nearing an unready state for training artillery soldiers," Gen. Stricklin wrote. A spokesman for Army Training and Doctrine Command, which oversees the training centers and collected the readiness reports, declined comment yesterday. "We have no comment at all about leaked material," said spokesman Harvey Perritt. Generals who run the centers complain of inadequate funding, equipment and instructors. Their stark messages are contained in memos to Training and Doctrine Command in the latest readiness reports available for this year. Final reports are due after the fiscal year ends Sept. 30. All schools were projected to continue operating at low levels. Maj. Gen. Anthony R. Jones, who heads the Army Aviation Center for pilot training at Fort Rucker, Ala., said, "Shortages in personnel and funding are significantly impacting the scope of active projects." The Army Signal Center at Fort Gordon, Ga., where soldiers learn combat communications, reported similar problems. "Insufficient personnel and training equipment, use of obsolete training equipment, and a lack of funding have continued to plague our ability to accomplish our training mission for more than two years," wrote Maj. Gen. Peter M. Cuviello, then commander, who is now stationed at the Pentagon. "We are barely meeting the requirement, and in fact, we are graduating soldiers from Advanced Individual Training, noncommissioned officer courses, and officer courses who have not received the comprehensive training we owe them in order to be successful in their jobs." The documents show that of 20 schools, 12 were classified C-4. Six were rated C-3. The highest rating, C-2, went to chaplain training and special warfare. The 12 C-4 grades were for training in air defense, aviation, chemical weapons, combined arms, engineering, field artillery, infantry, military intelligence, military police, signal corps and transportation. The Army Training and Doctrine Command defines C-4 this way: "The school/installation/command requires additional resources to undertake the mission(s) for which it was designed. It may undertake portions of its mission(s) consistent with resources available. Training deficiencies will have a significant impact on Army readiness." The Army readiness documents were provided to a reporter by a retired officer. He said his motive is to shine light on the problem and to bolster Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush's contention that military readiness is declining. The retired officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the shortfalls stem from declining Army budgets and an ongoing effort to transfer soldiers from support jobs to fill out the service's 10 active divisions. He said C-4 ratings mean the Army is graduating soldiers whose quality "is not where it should be." "The whole picture is alarming," he said. Army special operations, an elite force thought to be immune from readiness woes, is also feeling the pinch at its John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg, N.C. Maj. Gen. William G. Boykin, the commander, talked of shortages of radios, night-vision equipment and weapons systems. "This mode of operation cannot be sustained another year without incurring unacceptable safety risks and severe training quality degradation," he said. "We must be resourced to a level that will allow us to meet current and planned course requirements." Mr. Bush, the Texas governor, has accused President Clinton of letting readiness slip while the administration deployed troops on a record number of peacetime missions in the 1990s. Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic nominee, counters that the U.S.

Did she honor them, or did they honor her?Well to tell the truth, you could tell those baseball guys were mad as hell, and it is a wonder one of them did not give her the boot, not the pat, off the floor.

[CTRL] [Fwd: A Vote for Gore is a Vote for Bush]
Original Message Subject: A Vote for Gore is a Vote for Bush Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 21:23:51 -0500 (CDT) From: Dave Steele [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: ITServices, University of British Columbia To: undisclosed-recipients:; Ithaca Todayhttp://ithacatoday.com/ August 27, 2000 A Vote for Gore is a Vote for Bush by Paul Glover During his U.S. Senate career (1985-93), Al Gore voted to approve conservative anti-abortion justice Scalia to the Supreme Court. At heart a "pro-lifer," Gore received an 84 percent approval rating from the National Right to Life Committee for anti-abortion votes he cast while in the House (1977-85). By contrast, the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League rated Gore's House career decidedly anti-choice. Among the 30 votes the group scored against Gore was his "yea" in 1984 to define the word "person" under four existing civil rights laws to include "unborn children from the moment of conception." NARAL characterized that as a move toward an "all-out prohibition on abortion." This year, Gore has NARAL's endorsement only as a presumed lesser evil, because his "position has changed." Indeed, the abortion issue has seen many surprising turnarounds. The Senate's Democratic majority on the Judiciary Committee approved anti-abortion justice Clarence Thomas. Democratic President Clinton appointed anti-abortion justice Breyer, Democratic President John F. Kennedy appointed anti-abortion justice White, while Roe v. Wade was written by Republican President Nixon's appointee Blackmun, with concurrence of Nixon's appointee Burger. Republican President Bush appointed Souter, one of the most liberal current justices, who wrote the reaffirmation of Roe v. Wade in 1992. Republican President Eisenhower appointed liberals Brennan and Warren. Democratic President Truman appointed conservatives Burton, Vinson, Clark and Minton. And so on. Voters cannot be assured Gore will protect the Supreme Court. However, were Al Gore elected, you can be sure we'd have Executive endorsement of (or acquiescence to) GATT, NAFTA, WTO, death penalty, Star Wars, nuclear arsenal, arms sales, prison-industrial complex, "50,000 more police on our streets," fat cat elections and ever-greater lesser evils, clearcuts, mining of public land, oil spills (Occidental), Oil Wars, crackdown on legal protest, no national health plan, tax breaks for rich, higher taxes for middle class, welfare repeal, ever-more children in poverty, War on Drugs, union-busting, corporate-sponsored education, Iraq embargo, the School of the Americas. By now, Clinton's presidency should have taught progressive voters that a cute smile can mask bitterly conservative willingness, after elections, to sell out environmentalists, labor, middle-class taxpayers, small businesses, African-Americans, and women. Had progressives begun twenty years ago voting our own platforms (ecology, social justice, nonviolence, grassroots control) rather than fearing greater evils (which we got anyway), then today we'd have a strong electoral challenge to the devastation noted above. Your choice is not whether this devastation will continue, but whether it will continue with the Green Party established as a national party (needing 5% of total vote), with federal matching funds, helping to raise stronger challenges to corporate government.

[CTRL] Bush Campaign To Return Blacks For Refund
http://www.BushOnCrack.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=8.12_gopBlacks Bush On Crack August 12, 2000 Bush Campaign To Return Blacks For Refund Ontario, CA -- Saying "we only used them once", the Bush campaign today tried to return the blacks they purchased for their Republican National Convention in Philadelphia for a full refund. The blacks, who could be seen on the convention podium looking confused and bewildered, were hired by Republicans to make the party look more "inclusive". With their job now completed, the Republican Party hopes to get back the money spent on the blacks and devote it towards other campaign needs. These blacks done good, real good", exclaimed an ebullient George W. Bush, "and I'm sure they'll do just as good when they go back to wherever it was they came from." Experts say the Republicans will have a hard time returning the blacks, however, due to the fact that they have since lost their receipt. Copyright (c) 2000 AbsoluteIdeas.

[CTRL] RS interview with Nader. Very good.
ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE, ISSUE 849=20 September 14, 2000CRASHING THE PARTY Ralph Nader is so fed up with corrupt beltway politics that he is willing to sacrifice Al Gore.By Charles M. Young FROM 1965 TO 1980, RALPH NADER WAS ONE OF the most influential people in the United States. By sheer force of moral argument, he got Congress to pass a vast array of legislation that improved bad cars, bad water, bad air, bad working conditions, bad banks and ... well, you name it. He can take credit for spurring the passage of such landmark laws as the Freedom of Information Act and the Clean Air Act. Since 1980, Nader's career has followed an arc similar to the first half of a Popeye cartoon. Bluto showed up in the form of President Ronald Reagan. His administration refused to enforce laws Nader had inspired and turned the regulatory agencies into tools of industry. During Clinton's tenure, the signing of NAFTA and the U.S. entry into the WTO meant that labor and environmental groups could be slighted in trade negotiations. For twenty years, Washington, D.C., crusted over into a giant Blutocracy. Nader fired shots across the bow of the two-party Titanic by introducing himself as a presidential candidate in 1992 and again in 1996. Reluctant to siphon off enough progressive votes to defeat the Democrats, Nader gave a few good speeches and otherwise didn't do much. Still, the White House watched closely. "Clinton was very concerned with Nader's candidacy" in 1996, says Dick Morris, Clinton's former adviser and pollster. "He kept raising it with me and asking whether I thought it would cost him California. He could not understand how Nader would not draw votes from him. I don't know that he actually tried to knock Nader off the ballot, but he was deeply concerned." This year, Nader is campaigning for real on the Green Party ticket. The Blutocracy has finally dumped one too many loads of toxic waste on his head. "That's all I can stand," was the message when he announced his candidacy in February. "I can't stands no more." Nader's stated goal is to get five percent of the vote, in which case the Greens would get federal matching funds in 2004. With his campaign just gaining momentum, he now rates six to seven percent in the polls, three times as much as Pat Buchanan. He and Buchanan are suing to be allowed into the presidential debates. If they succeed a highly unlikely prospect the entire nation could go into the same sort of political flux that rearranged Minnesota when Jesse Ventura was allowed to debate. A number of ordinarily Democratic celebro-Americans are supporting Nader: Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Eddie Vedder, Susan Sarandon, Paul Newman, Phil Donahue, Jackson Browne. "There's a widespread assumption that candidates in the two major parties can't say what they believe or they won't get elected," says Browne, one of the most active of activists in the musical community. "So the people end up voting on the basis of spin and then hoping that in a few years the candidate might have done something that they assumed he believed in but couldn't actually say. It's time to stop this. Ralph Nader says what he thinks, he can discuss any issue without a scriptwriter, and he's the only candidate talking about government handouts to corporations." RS: How serious are you about running for president this time? N: We're trying to get on the ballot in all fifty states. We're going to show that citizen power can overcome business dollars in election campaigns. RS: Why didn't you run in the Democratic primaries? N: Because the party is not capable of internal reform anymore. It's too far gone into the corporate pits. RS: What are the first five things you would do as president? N: First, I would declare a pro-democracy initiative -- that means public financing of election campaigns, urge the states to have same-day registration, make voting day a holiday and a celebration of the democratic process, develop a binding "none of the above" proposal. People could check "none of the above" on their ballots, and if that wins, there would have to be another election. Second, I would push to remove restrictions that hamper workers from forming trade unions in the private sector. Third, I would press for citizen channels on cable and over the air as a condition of broadcast licensing. The people should have their own television channels and their own radio and television networks, because the people own the airwaves. Four, I would announce tough enforcement of consumer health, safety and economic-justice laws throughout the federal government. Crack down on corporate crime, fraud and abuse. And I'd put all federal contracts and grants above $100,000 on the Internet: the coal leasing, the gold leasing, the oil leasing, the NIH giveaways, the defense contracts. Five, I would press immediately for universal health care. Can I list more than five? RS: Go for it. N: I think that all students should learn citizen skills in how
[CTRL] Brutal Capitalism
GUARDIAN (LONDON) Thursday June 29, 2000 This is a war of all worlds BY George Monbiot Fuss about the human genome just hides the brutality of global capitalism Nearly everyone debating the mapping of the human genome now agrees on one thing: that the identification of our genes invokes an unprecedented danger, as it might assist a handful of companies to seize something which belongs to all of us. I wish this were true. Terrifying as the impending capture of the essence of humanity is, it is far from unprecedented. The attempt to grab the genome is just one of many symptoms of a far graver disease. We are entering an age of totalitarian capitalism, a political and economic system which, by seizing absolute control of fundamental resources, destitutes everyone it excludes. On Saturday I met a campaigner from Kerala, in southern India, who told me that, to the tribal people he works with, the ownership of land is as inconceivable as the ownership of air would be in the northern hemisphere. I told him the bad news. In several American cities, blocks of air, which (once legally transferred to a suitable site) allow their owners to build skyscrapers, change hands for tens of millions of dollars. There have been a number of legal disputes over the ownership of clouds, as firms battle for the right to make them drop their rain where they want it. Companies are now claiming they own asteroids and landing spaces on the moon. None of these presumptions is any more absurd than the claim to possess exclusive control over part of our own planet. But, as property rights proliferate, almost everything which once belonged to all of us is being seized. In Britain, for example, despite repeated pledges by the government, playing-fields and allotments are disappearing faster than ever before. Public squares are being turned into private shopping malls. Traditional stopping sites for travellers, some of which survived for five millennia, have nearly all disappeared during the past 15 years. Knowledge is rapidly becoming the exclusive preserve of those who can afford to buy it. Intellectual property companies are monopolising image banks and picture archives, while academic publishers, concentrated in ever fewer hands, are able to charge outrageous prices for access to the work they publish. Companies are asserting ownership in perpetuity of the material in their electronic databases. A firm called West Publishing has tried to insist that it owned the entire archive of US federal law. The biotech companies have been empowered to seize the human genome by the very people - Tony Blair and Bill Clinton - who are now begging them not to do so. Blair's government helped drive through the European directive on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions, which enables private companies to claim not only human genes, but also plant and animal varieties and even human body parts. Every asset, once secured by the new totalitarian regime, is surrounded by a Berlin wall equipped with border guards. There are ranches in the United States in which you would be shot on sight if you tried to take a walk. Disproportionate responses to the feeblest threats are assisted by the private prison and security industries now seizing control of another fundamental asset: human freedom. We cross the economic frontiers at our peril. The worst global inequality in history is a direct result of this totalitarian capitalism. Two hundred people now own as much wealth as half the world's population, for the simple reason that they have been empowered to steal it from the rest of us. This empowerment emerges from an unwholesome union of neoliberal economics and feudal law. Our legal framework, which pre-dates democracy, protects property above individuals and individuals above society. We can't expect our governments to address this inversion of democratic priorities. The three men who could begin to reform our legal system - the home secretary, the lord chancellor and the prime minister - are all lawyers, and all wedded (literally in the prime minister's case) to the profession which benefits from its iniquities. Property-based law favours the interests of the rich, which, in turn, favours the interests of its practitioners. The walls rising around us are beginning to look impregnable. But before we can decide how they might best be demolished, we must first recognise that the enclosure of the human genome is just a single cell in the privatised global prison the new regime has built. == *** NOTICE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.

[CTRL] The perfect ( desert ) storm.
THE PERFECT STORM AS EVERY SAVVY mass manipulator knows, it is the propaganda that does not appear as such that works the best. Too obvious a pitch can only fail. Consider, for example, the GOP's recent show of multicultural diversity -- "It Takes a Potemkin Village." That burst of pseudoamity was such a patent sell that it gave all the op-ed wits and cable clowns an easy opening, which was then exploited by the Democrats in their quadrennial miniseries. The Bush convention was an "inclusion illusion," said Jesse Jackson, and Joe Lieberman cracked wise about Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, and a good time was had by all. But while it failed to make Bush/Cheney seem as mellow as the Grateful Dead, the show succeeded brilliantly at glorifying the main accomplishment of Bush the Elder -- and at identifying his son with that amazing tour de force. Dick Cheney's role as ready understudy, the feisty testimonials of Generals Powell and Schwarzkopf, and the many blustering allusions to Saddam Hussein were broad reminders of the momentary glory that was Operation Desert Storm. At such belligerent theatrics no one laughed -- no pundits or comedians or Democrats -- because that "operation" still exerts a certain magic. The GOP's politically-correct charade no doubt distracted us from thinking critically about the party's celebration of that war. By apt coincidence, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait took place exactly ten years prior to the show in Philadelphia, and a little over ten years prior to Al Gore's choice to run with Senator Lieberman, who, in concert with Dick Cheney, Norman Schwarzkopf, Colin Powell, and George Bush, did his utmost to arouse enthusiasm for the war. (Al Gore, too, was a supporter.) In the anniversary spirit, then, we should revisit the original Bush/Cheney production, to get a sense of what a propaganda masterpiece it really was. IRAQGATE Lest we forget, the invasion of Kuwait had been tacitly green-lighted by April Glaspie, our ambassador in Baghdad, who reassured Saddam Hussein that "we have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your disagreement with Kuwait." Whether such encouragement was her mistake or State Department policy is still an open question. Iraq's dictator had enjoyed immense Republican support. Under Presidents Reagan and Bush, the U.S. government was most receptive to the lobbying efforts of the U.S.-Iraq Business Forum -- a grand consortium of corporate powers established in 1985, that wanted access to the Iraqi market. The Forum lobbied heavily against congressional sanctions on Iraq, despite her leader's grisly record. The Forum (with the aid of Henry Kissinger) also worked to help Iraq out with her debts -- and the Reagan and Bush administrations pitched right in: underwriting loans from Italy's infamous Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, quietly facilitating aid through the Department of Agriculture's Commodity Credit Corporation, and pressing the Commerce Department to allow Iraq to purchase various lethal goods from U.S. companies. Thus did the Bush team help to arm the tyrant whom they would soon demonize to shattering effect. Such facts were missing from the pro-war propaganda churned out during the months of Operation Desert Shield; and the issue vanished after 1992, when a Justice Department inquiry went nowhere. THE BUILD UP Inside the White House and the Pentagon, there was no doubt that we would stomp Iraq, a third-world country mangled by eight years of inconclusive war against Iran, and -- unlike Vietnam -- ruled by a gangster largely feared and hated by his people. But despite their confidence, from early August 1990 through the next five months, the Bush team and the Pentagon expertly jolted the American people, suggesting often that Iraq might win. War always being "a terrible thing with unpredictable consequences" (as General Powell put it scarily), we might be facing an ordeal in which (as another, unnamed general put it) "many, many people are going to die. And it's important for people to understand that it's not inconceivable we could lose." Far from helping to

There may be no point in trying reason with someone like yourself but you've got the problems all wrong. The homosexual "issue" revolves around several problems. One being the tendency of too many young people who find they are homosexual or have trouble with their sexual identity to commit suicide in their teen years. Acceptance of differences is essential to prevent this tragedy. How much do you really know about anyone else's sexuality. It's a complex issue. Many teens who ultimately find they are heterosexual try to commit suicide during the years of uncertainty because there is such a taboo and so much harassment in the high school years of those who appear to be in any way "different." In later years the problems have to do with discrimination in jobs and housing. I think that all most homosexuals want is the same rights other people have but in today's political arena, these issues must be presented as a "special interest" to have a voice and be heard. I have never heard anyone "promote" homosexuality as a lifestyle better or superior to the mainstream. Yet it does require acceptance in a democracy or in any pluralistic society. Do you really want the government watching you in your bedroom? Who knows what you do that the government might find unacceptable. Homosexuals are a very small percentage of the total population, in spite of the practices having been around since the beginning of time. Do you really think everyone would be homosexual if it wasn't forbidden? The churches are so powerful both politically and financially,. that they seem to be able to take care of themselves quite nicely, thank you. If they are "dying" it is because what they are offering their congregations and the public is not really helpful or consonant with the times we live in and people are not finding them relevant to their lives. Perhaps it is time for some new traditions and concepts that really help people negotiate the times in which they find themselves. Morality and ethics need not be irrevocably tied to religious beliefs--unless you view humans as inherently savage and in need of stern controlsin which case you do not believe in democracy. sno0wl A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

The following information has been given to each member of the House Judiciary Committee and was placed on the Internet in electronic form by Bill Hamilton of Inslaw Corporation. The complete document with supporting details may be obtained from: Inslaw 1125 15th Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-2707 Telephone (202) 828-8638 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eleven years ago, the Justice Department's PROMIS Project Manager arranged for an Israeli Government official to visit INSLAW for a PROMIS briefing and demonstration. The Justice Department told INSLAW that the visitor was a prosecuting attorney from the Israeli Ministry of Justice who would be overseeing a project to computerize the public prosecution offices in Israel. Three months after the visit, the Justice Department secretly turned over to a representative of the Israeli Government a copy of the PROMIS software, according to a contemporaneous internal Justice Department memorandum made public by the House Judiciary Committee in its September 1992 Investigative Report, The INSLAW Affair. INSLAW followed up on this disclosure by the House Judiciary Committee by contacting the Israeli Ministry of Justice in Tel Aviv about the "prosecuting attorney" who had visited INSLAW ten years earlier in February 1983. After obtaining information from the Ministry about the current location of the prosecuting attorney, INSLAW consulted with two journalists in Tel Aviv. One journalist interviewed the now-retired prosecuting attorney at his home in Jerusalem. The prosecuting attorney bore no resemblance to the visitor to INSLAW and was unfamiliar with some important aspects of the visit to INSLAW, although he claimed to have been the February 1983 Israeli visitor to INSLAW. The other journalist told INSLAW that the prosecuting attorney's name has been used in the past as a pseudonym for Rafi Eitan, a legendary Israeli intelligence official. INSLAW employees who had met with the Israeli visitor in February 1983 attempted to identify the visitor from a police-style photographic line-up. The process was videotaped in the studio of a national television network. The photographic line-up confirmed that the visitor to INSLAW was neither a prosecutor nor an attorney, but Rafi Eitan. At the time of the visit to INSLAW, Rafi Eitan was Director of LAKAM, a super-secret agency in the Israeli Ministry of Defense responsible for collecting scientific and technical intelligence information from other countries through espionage. Rafi Eitan became well known in the United States, several years after his visit to INSLAW, when Jonathan Pollard, a U.S. Navy civilian intelligence analyst, was arrested and charged with spying for Rafi Eitan and Israeli intelligence. During the interim between Rafi Eitan's visit to INSLAW and the delivery of a copy of PROMIS to an Israeli official, the Government's PROMIS Project Manager and others in the Justice Department pressured INSLAW to deliver to the Justice Department, without any protection for INSLAW's property rights, the proprietary version of PROMIS that was not required to be delivered under INSLAW's PROMIS Implementation Contract. The particular proprietary version of PROMIS that was the object of this Justice Department pressure was the version that INSLAW had demonstrated to the Israeli Government visitor and that operates on a VAX computer. INSLAW was operating this proprietary version of PROMIS on a computer at INSLAW's offices and using it to support each of the 10 largest U.S. Attorneys' Offices, via telephone lines. Under its three-year contract, INSLAW was to provide this PROMIS computer time-sharing service on an interim basis until each of the U.S. Attorneys' Offices acquired its own computer, and INSLAW thereafter was to install an earlier, public domain version of PROMIS on those computers. The Justice Department explained this pressure to obtain immediate delivery of a copy of the proprietary VAX version of PROMIS by a suddenly-professed concern about INSLAW's financial viability. In response to this professed concern, INSLAW offered to place a copy of the VAX version of PROMIS in escrow in a local bank; that would have been the accepted industry remedy for the professed problem. The Justice Department, however, rejected INSLAW's escrow offer and insisted on immediately obtaining physical custody of a copy of the proprietary VAX version of PROMIS. The Justice Department eventually accomplished its objective of physical custody of a copy of the VAX version of PROMIS through a bilateral modification to the contract in which the Government committed itself, inter alia, not to disseminate the proprietary version of PROMIS outside the U.S. Attorneys' Offices. This was the April 11, 1983 Modification #12 to the PROMIS Implementation Contract. None of the U.S. Attorneys' Offices had a VAX computer, without
[CTRL] Fwd: Inslaw and Mind Control
The Inslaw/PROMIS theft is part and parcel of the New World Order plan to control the hearts, minds and souls of the people of this country. The following series of links shows that what Casolaro was about to connect was the criminal-tracking technology to a massive mind-control enterprise using "non-lethal weapons. http://www.newsmakingnews.com/#INSLAW'S EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Although these allegations are profoundly disturbing, there is significant circumstantial evidence that bears on the plausibility of the allegations. As reported in INSLAW's July 11, 1993 rebuttal, Casolaro was scheduled to have his final, follow-up meeting with two sources on INSLAW in West Virginia the night before he died, and one of those sources was connected to the Justice Department's PROMIS Contracting Officer. As reported in this addendum, the meeting between Casolaro and those sources had allegedly been brokered by a covert intelligence operative for the U.S. Government, an Army Special Forces Major. This individual appeared in Casolaro's life during the final several weeks and introduced himself to Casolaro as one of the closest friends of the Government's PROMIS Contracting Officer. Finally, during the final week of his life, Casolaro told at least five confidants something that he had never told a single one of them at any other time during his year-long, full-time investigation: that he had just broken the INSLAW case. Although the NSA is quoted in the Bua Report as claiming that it internally developed its PROMIS, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported in May 1986 that the NSA had purchased a PROMIS software system from a Toronto-based company. As shown in Exhibit A to INSLAW's July 11, 1993 rebuttal, Earl Brian's Hadron, Inc. sold INSLAW's PROMIS to the same Toronto company in 1983, in a transaction that also allegedly involved Edwin Meese, then Counselor to the President. The INSLAW affair was a premeditated, cynical and deceitful taking of INSLAW's software property by the chief law enforcement agency of the United States without due process of law and without compensation to INSLAW in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. === http://www.eff.org/pub/Legal/Cases/INSLAW/inslaw_hr.report The Department of Justice has long recognized the need for a standardized management information system to assist law enforcement offices across the country in the recordkeeping and tracking of criminal cases. During the 1970's, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) funded the development by INSLAW1 of a computer software system called the Prosecutor's Management Information System or PROMIS. This system was designed to meet the criminal prosecutor workloads of large urban jurisdictions; and by 1980, several large U.S. attorneys offices were using the PROMIS software. At this time, INSLAW (formerly called the Institute for Law and Social Research) was a nonprofit corporation funded almost entirely through Government grants and contracts. When President Carter terminated the LEAA, INSLAW converted the company to a for- profit corporation in 1981 to commercially market PROMIS. === http://www.nlectc.org/txtfiles/policetech.html The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 created LEAA in, as one commentator noted, "an environment of social turbulence. Crime rates were climbing, the incidence of drug abuse was on the rise, riots and disorders were becoming commonplace, and America's political leaders were targets for assassination attempts." In this climate, LEAA sought to spur the computerization of policing. The big push started in the early 1970s. It is uncertain how much LEAA spent on police computerization, but police agencies began to acquire computers. However, many departments with access to computers in the 1970s and even into the 1980s seemed reluctant to use them for more than routine tasks. Why were many police agencies not making more effective use of computers? Leading police chiefs blamed the complexities of the new technology, the cautious, conservative nature of many police officers, and citizens' "fear of Big Brother." Lack of funds for computer training and equipment maintenance also played a part. .. The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration paid for big ticket technology items such as computers, software, and crime laboratories, but the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), an agency for many years under the LEAA umbrella [2], was the designated federal source of research and development in law enforcement technology. In its review of its first 25 years, the Institute made special note of two accomplishments in technology -- the development of lightweight body armor and support for DNA analysis to improve evidence used in investigating crimes. . In a time of rapidly advancing technologies, NLECTC serves as a one-stop technology education, assessment, and referral

from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ Click Here: A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Fifth Column Robbing Internet Banks "Trojans" open online accounts. An investigation into online banks has revealed how vulnerable they are to malicious hackers looking to steal the identity of customers. Working with former hacker Gary Chapman, the BBC's Newsnight revealed the methods that computer criminals could use to commit an internet bank robbery. Mr Chapman planted a snooping program on the computer of presenter Sue Nelson and used the information it gathered to assume her online identity. The banks say they are already beefing up security to limit the risk to consumers and make it harder for hackers to steal passwords and identities. Newsnight presenter Sue Nelson set up online accounts at four banksBarclays, NatWest, Egg and Lloydsto test their security. She found that it was possible for a determined hacker to steal her password and login details for three of the four accounts. Password no protection Former hacker Gary Chapman helped her show up the weaknesses in online security by sending Ms Nelson an email message which contained a "trojan" or hidden program. Like the legendary wooden horse of Troy that concealed a dangerous payload, the seemingly innocuous e-mail message contained a hidden malicious program. Almost any type of computer program can be used as a trojan and many computer viruses spread themselves in this way. But for Newsnight Mr Chapman concealed a program that logs every key- press made on a computer's keyboard and sends it to the malicious hacker. When the legitimate bank account holder goes online and types in their password the trojan sends the information to the hacker who can later pose as the customer and steal all the money. Key logging programs are available on the internet. "Anyone with a GCSE in computer science could use these tools to hack into a bank account," said Mr Chapman. Called to account Already malicious hackers are trying to use these techniques to collect passwords and pillage accounts. Earlier this month security experts warned of a variant of the Love Bug virus which targeted those who have online accounts with Swiss Bank. Thankfully the badly engineered program, known as VBS/LoveLetter.bd, seems to have failed to harvest any login details and no accounts are believed to have been rifled. The hardest part for hackers is getting users to open the e-mail message containing the trojan. Outbreaks of computer viruses have made people wary of opening messages they are not expecting and has led many to turn off the systems that let trojans install themselves. Peter Sommer, a expert on computer evidence and security at the LSE, said: "If customers want to protect themselves they have to learn rather more about computer security and that tends to become rather complicated." In the wake of the revelations banks are keen to reassure customers that their finances are in safe hands A spokeswoman for Barclays said it was introducing new security measures later this year which would make it harder for a trojan-type attack to succeed. "We have been a bank for a long time," she said, "There have always been fraudsters and we are always working to be one step ahead of them."

[CTRL] Politics in America, Part 15, by Robert L. Koch
from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V4.35/politics_amer15.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V4.35/politics_amer15.htm"Polit ics in America, Part 15, by Robert L. Koch /A - Politics in America Part 15: Parties, Subcultures, and Structures Within the American Political System by Robert L. Kocher This is not a dissertation on American Republicans and Democrats, although it begins with them. It is an examination of political reality and needed direction for reform and survival. It's worth a doctoral degree in political science that is guaranteed to get you barred from entering, or expelled from, any university department on earth. A study was done in 1998 as a joint project of Harvard University, the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation, and the Washington Post. It was published in the October 4, 1998 Washington Post. It showed the following well-defined subgroups within the major political parties and how those voted in the 1996 presidential election. The study found four Republican subcultures and five Democrat subcultures. The Democratic and Republican subcultures, and their voting patterns, are those identified by statistical analysis in the study. The analysis here will incorporate, but is not limited to, information found in that study. My descriptions of these subcultures incorporate and parallel the defining features found and described in the study, but are my own words, observations, and analysis. Democrat Subcultures 1) The Determined Liberals. These are 30 percent of democrats. Sixty-three percent are women. Eighty-six percent voted for the Clintons. Four percent voted for Dole. Four percent voted for Perot. The remainder voted for splinter party candidates. This subculture believes entitlement to everything is a personal right. Government is to guarantee jobs, medical care, economic equality. Concurrently, most of these people believe government is inefficient and intrudes into people's lives. That means they want unconditional government support and funding without accountability. Accountability is relabeled intrusion. Basically, they want a blank check given to them with no questions asked and no demands for responsibility. They want a government that is a wealthy permissive parent surrogate. They support same-sex marriage, unrestricted abortions, out-of-wedlock childbearing, unlimited welfare or social service benefits. They believe in confiscation of other people's earnings and redistributing it so they can coast through life with their primary concerns being their sex lives and personal problems. 2) Helping Hand Democrats. They are 22 percent of Democrats. Sixty-seven percent are women; 84 percent voted for the Clintons. Six percent voted for Dole. Seven percent voted for Perot. These are people who have bought into liberal sociology and selectively combined it with the most socialistic aspects of religion. They are essentially religious socialists. They inhabit a form of soft religion that emphasizes forgiveness, but is deficient on demanding responsibility from both themselves and others. They are Jimmy Carters. My personal observation over the years is that there is a class of Christians who live in a bland separation from emotional reality. They have attained a type of pathological dissociated state through religion and are willing to browbeat anyone who doesn't share it. A type of unrealistic all-forgiving all-understanding emotional euphoric stupor is, in their eyes, attainment of sainthood. They are dangerous to themselves and dangerous to others in their emotional unreality and in their judgments made within that unreality. The type of government and social environment they advocate requires someone as emotionally neutered, repressed, or sublimated as they are to live in it. Many in this political subculture are of that condition. The idea of sainthood is to be in such a state such as to look up at The Lord in oblivious forgiveness when people stick pins in you. The problem is, when you have attained that mental condition, the world has a serious number of sadists who will stick pins in you, and more, for amusement if they can get away with it. Those of us who are less emotionally detached from reality regard this sadism as a danger signal impelling us to make war rather than prayers. This subculture is a difficult group of people to explain. They have classical religious moral values. Fifty percent strongly disapprove of abortion. Eighty percent strongly reject homosexuality. Eight in 10 strongly agree that America should return to traditional family values. But socialism is more important to them than traditional morality, which is why they are Democrats. Most believe welfare benefits should continue indefinitely. They believe America should become some sort of compulsively imposed religious economic commune, and that that would end all problems. Their religious values terminate at, or emphasize, selected socialistically oriented words of Jesus at the
[CTRL] The Great Kiddie Porn Panic, Part 2, by Jim Peron
from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V4.35/kiddie_porn2.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V4.35/kiddie_porn2.htm"The Great Kiddie Porn Panic, Part 2, by Jim Per /A - The Great Kiddie Porn Panic Part 2: Government Enters the Child Porn Business by Jim Peron With the demise of the kiddie porn industry, the US government was faced with a problem: no one was breaking the law or at least very few were. By changing the rules of the game midterm, the federal government was able to create entire new classes of criminals. One substantial change made was that individuals were now regularly solicited by various police agencies to purchase the newly banned items. The government created dozens of phony companies and began soliciting people to purchase the material. Often the government would use mailing lists of regular porn sellers, or they collected names and addresses from address books of people they had investigated. In other cases they would run ambivalently worded advertisements in magazines targeted toward swingers, porn consumers, or gay men. In one case they confiscated the mailing list of Award Films, a video company, which distributed mainstream films with gay themes. The list of purchasers of films such as Suddenly Last Summer or Taxi Zum Klo was then distributed to various police agencies for use in their sting operations. Government agencies would send brochures under a phony company name to the individual they targeted. In some cases the brochures made it clear that the items being offered were sexually explicit material of individuals under the age of 18. In other cases the brochure used terms like "youthful" or "girls" and assumed that anyone reading it knew that the reference was to an underaged individual. In still other cases they would send personal letters claiming that a "mutual friend suggested I write you." If the individual ordered anything, they were arrested with great publicity. Some of the people arrested had no idea that so-called child porn was being offered. Others continually refused to purchased but were solicited over and over until, perhaps out of curiosity, they sent in an order. It made no difference to the law officials. In some cases the police would place ads in adult publications pretending to be a woman with a young daughter. This "woman" would solicit correspondence from men. The letters the police sent were sexually explicit and, after gaining the confidence of the man, the "woman" would mention that she had a younger daughter who was planning to become sexually active. She would claim to be concerned about what her daughter's first experience would be like and began suggesting that this man might help her out. Finally, she would solicit him to have sex with this imaginary daughter. If the man agreed he was arrested and charged with "child endangerment" even though no child, in fact, existed. These "sting" operations were quite successful and the police authorities managed to create criminals on a grand scale. Without these operations it is highly unlikely that the bulk of the individuals arrested would ever have committed a "crime" by purchasing child porn, especially since the only source for the material was the US federal government. Attorney Lawrence Stanley points out, "the line between law enforcement and inducing law-breaking has become highly blurred, as undercover friends encourage the forbidden fantasies of their targets and sell or send them child pornography after a great deal of prodding. In some cases, the forbidden fantasies are those of the investigating agent." O'Malley's Legacy One of the largest sting operations in American history was conducted by a customs agent named Jack O'Malley. O'Malley was absolutely hysterical when it came to alleged child porn. He was convinced that tons of the material was being distributed throughout the United States. He claimed that 20 million copies of child porn tapes were sold or rented in the United States each year and that on a world-wide basis the number would exceed 250 million. He claimed that child porn produced larger profits than all the US TV networks and Hollywood film studios combined, and estimated that child porn was a $3 billion a year business in the States. Now with millions and millions of child porn tapes being distributed one would think that O'Malley would have been able to find some. But he couldnt. According to Newsweek: O'Malley and his colleagues noticed that the volume of child porn seized by customs agents at O'Hare International Airport and other points of entry for overseas mail was dropping off." In fact, such shipments did drop off but from very low numbers to begin with. O'Malley, instead of seeing the obvious fact that child porn was a very small business that was in decline, "concluded that foreign distributors had found ways to circumvent U.S. interceptions. The only way to find the customers then, O'Malley decided, was to have Uncle Sam go into

ATTN: ASSIGNMENT DESK

DIRECTOR OF PRESS RELATIONS
DIRECTOR OF INVESTIGATIVE RESEARCH
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STUDY FINDS EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL BRANCHES CONSPIRED TO
CONTROL RELIGIOUS WORKS FOR MILITARY INTELLIGENCE PURPOSES
A chronological investigative analysis of once-classified intelligence
reports, corporate papers, copyright and trademark records, court
documents, and other public records has exposed a massive and pervasive
co-ordination of the Executive and Judicial Branches in order to effect
a cover-up, since at least 1972, of copyrighted Scientology technologies
being illegally utilized in United States strategic intelligence. The
study shows that the cover-up has reached all the way to the Oval
Office.
The timeline of events documents that an employee of the National
Security Agency (NSA), Dr. Harold Puthoff, infiltrated Scientology,
completed its confidential upper-level courses, and almost immediately
secured a top-secret contract with the Central Intelligence Agency to
set up the CIA-initiated "remote-viewing" intelligence program. The
evidence is that the program secretly utilized Scientology techniques--
intellectual property of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard--without
Hubbard's or any Scientology organization's knowledge or permission,
and without compensation.
The study also shows that Scientology's Guardian's Office
(GO)--headed by Hubbard's wife Mary Sue--had province over the
intellectual properties being illegally used by the federal government.
The GO became embroiled in protracted litigation, via the churches, of
numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) suits against NSA, the CIA,
the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Department of Defense, the
Secret Service, and other Executive Branch departments and agencies.
The FOIA suits sought the release of documents related to
Scientology and to L. Ron Hubbard that were known to exist, but were
being withheld by the federal intelligence agencies and the Defense
Department, among others, on grounds of NATIONAL SECURITY.
One ruling against the Scientologists even went so far as to justify
withholding of documents about Scientology on the grounds that the
Director of CIA is "responsible for protecting intelligence sources AND
METHODS from unauthorized disclosure...[emphasis added]." Neither
Hubbard, his wife, nor the Guardian's Office knew the exact nature of
the documents, nor about Hubbard's copyrighted materials being illegally
used by the federal intelligence agencies.
Scientology's FOIA suits spanned the very time when the top-secret
Scientology-based remote viewing program and budget were not only being
expanded, but were being utilized by the Department of Defense, the
President's National Security Council (NSC), and the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. But the documents being sought by the Guardian's Office were
never released; the FBI raided the church's offices in July of 1977, and
the federal government filed criminal charges accusing Mary Sue Hubbard
and the Guardian's Office of "criminal spying"--a strange irony.
The sensational case resulted in Mary Sue Hubbard and 10 Guardian's
Office co-defendants being sentenced to jail without a trial by federal
Judge Charles R. Richey, which led to the ultimate disbanding of
Scientology's Guardian's Office.
This opened the way for a new senior corporation, "Church of
Spiritual Technology" (CST), doing business as the "L. Ron Hubbard
Library." It was set up in 1982--right after the Supreme Court had
upheld Mary Sue Hubbard's conviction--for the express purpose of gaining
receivership and control of L. Ron Hubbard's copyrights. But it was in
the founding of this corporation that the first hint of the cover-up by
the federal government lay buried.
In an EXCLUSIVE 1997 STORY, the PUBLIC RESEARCH FOUNDATION reported
that Meade Emory--former Assistant to the Commissioner of the Internal
Revenue Service and former Legislation Attorney, Joint Committee on
Taxation--had been a co-founder of CST, Scientology{s most senior
coporation. That corporation now controls the copyrights for all of L.
Ron Hubbard{s intellectual properties, once valued at close to $100
million. CST also enjoys ultimate authority over all Scientology-related
trademarks, including even the name "L. Ron Hubbard."
But the discovery of Emory, a non-Scientologist, in such an unusual
position raised red flags, since Emory's involvement in setting up the
corporation had been hidden

August 30, 2000 By Rayelan Allan, Publisher RMNews I just watched the press conference that Mohammed Al Fayed gave at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. The conference went on for well over an hour. Mohammed Al Fayed charged that "evil, racist forces working through British Security Services murdered my son and Princess Diana." The press conference was given to announce that Al Fayed was suing the CIA, DIA, NSA, FBI, the United States Justice Department, various United States government offices, and three people who have never been prosecuted by the United States government for the attempt to extort money from Al Fayed for "forgeries" of CIA documents. The three people were involved with Oswald LeWinter who is currently serving a four year sentence in Austria for attempting to defraud Al Fayed. Le Winter claims that the CIA documents he gave to Al Fayed, while being "forgeries", were indeed copies of actual CIA documents. LeWinter told RMNews "I had a choice at the time of my arrest to identify the documents as genuine or as fakes. If I said genuine I would face charges in the U.S. of high treason ... so I said they were forgeries and was arrested for Fraud." Many articles regarding LeWinter have been published on Rumor Mill News. You can use the search engines on the front page of Rumor Mill News or on the Forum to find them. There are also letters from LeWinter which are published on the Diana, Queen of Heaven webpage - http://www.dianaqueenofheaven.com Mohammed Al Fayed has asked for help from the American people. He wants the American people to write letters to their Congressmen and Senators requesting that they urge the CIA, FBI, DIA, NSA etc. to release all documents that are pertinent to the unraveling of the mystery behind the murder of Diana and Dodi. RMNews has already contacted FOXNEWS and asked them to put the video of the entire press conference on their webpage. If they do, it will be at http://www.foxnews.com Knowing that they might not show the entire press conference, RMNews has also spoken with John MacNamara, Al Fayed's chief of security, and the main presenter at today's press conference. RMNews asked him to put up the entire press conference. He said they are planning to do so. As soon as RMNews is given one or the other of these links, it will be posted on the RMNews webpage. RMNews is still awaiting the official transcripts from the press conference. As soon as they are received, they will be posted on RMNews. A lot of information that was presented by John MacNamara, Al Fayed's Chief of Security and Mark Zaid, Al Fayed's United States lawyer, were presented in my article, Diana Was Not the Target, published this month in Paranoia Magazine. There is a link to this article on the front page of http://www.rumormillnews.com The following is from Mohammed Al Fayed's official webpage. It is very similar to his letter that was read at the conference and to his comments that were presented via video: http://www.alfayed.com/openletter/index.html Mohammed Al Fayed: "Most people are profoundly shocked, and rightly so, by the idea that Dodi and Diana were murdered. Yet it is my firm belief that Britain's racist establishment found their relationship utterly unacceptable, and so conspired with the intelligence services to have them killed. My repeated appeals for a full public inquiry in Britain into the Paris tragedy have been rejected out of hand by the prime minister, Tony Blair and the home secretary, Jack Straw but I shall never abandon my fight for disclosure of the full facts. The following open letter explains why." AN OPEN LETTER FROM MOHAMED AL FAYED http://www.alfayed.com/ Since the 31st August 1997, the terrible day that my son Dodi and Princess Diana died in Paris, I have tried by all means that I know to get answers to the many questions left hanging in the air.

Rumor Mill News Read Only Forum HARVESTABLE CHINESE IN AFRICA??? Posted By: Rayelan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, 30 August 2000, 12:06 p.m. From Rumor Mill News: What if there is another reason behind the 700,000 Chinese being in the Sudan? (The factory in the Sudan was an aspirin factory as far as I know) + What if all the people in the African war zone that are missing and assumed to have been kidnapped by slave traders acutally end up as body parts for wealthy elite who need body parts or are forced into prostitution and slavery? + And what if the DNA from the local body parts supply wasn't good enough??? A Rumor Mill News Source has supplied us with an alternative version as to why the 700,000 Chinese are in the Sudan. The following article was pieced together from a dozen or more emails that were exchanged over the weekend. It is not always easy to get in contact with RMNews Sources to ask them to clarify or explain things. Possibly if this is posted on the Forum, our Source will be able to correct any mistakes that may have inadvertantly been put there. ### RMNews Source: Do you want to know the real reason the 700,000 Chinese are in the Sudan? Yes, the Chinese are taking the oil fields. But moving 700,000 people is difficult to keep secret. Especially if they are military personel. What if some of them are medical personel? China makes a great deal of money from pharmaceuticals and bio-engineered medicines and even OTC meds. Most of the Chinese have been there for a while . The Chinese are 98% genetically homogenous. Their organs and biological products are the most usable because they genetically a known quantity. There are 1.8 Billion Chinese not 1.3 Billion according to sources inside China. But what if drug companies need products from diseases not found in large populations is China? These would be conditions such as sickle cell, malaria, AIDS. The Chinese concerns would have to go somewhere outside of China. Sources in Africa and China say that Africa has Chinese camps in the Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Zaire, for human harvesting and experimentation.The camps have been in operation for at least 6 years. US and European companies have experimented on Africans far longer. You all remember the "Truth and Concilliation" trials in South Africa that spoke of human experimentation? The market for human guinea pigs and human tissue did not end with those admissions. Pharmaceutical companies and military complexes still needed the products and the experiments. Where do you think they went that would be outside the eyes of the press? China is in the forefront of bio engineering. It is not illegal in China to experiment on humans if the people are prisoners, or better yet, it is done outside of China. Who are the clients of these products? The US and Europe. China has no reason to keep people alive. By and large it is not Chinese who need these medicines. But China makes them. Check out Ribavirin sometimes. Who makes it? China from "volunteers"? Who are the "volunteers"? Falun Gong? Africans? It takes thousands of fertilized ovums to make one transgene forcancer therapy BTW. Also there are uses for human bio products in some kinds of chip burning. RMNews posted a story about child prostitution on the forum. What it does not state is that the primary clearing house for children used as drug mules is in Cambodia on the Thai-Cambodian border and in Siem Reap. That was the camp Diana was at. You all saw her with the mine sweeper.Hillary Clinton was there too. You never heard about it again except in Diana's landmine crusade. The camp is surrounded by land mines. Once children cannot be used as prostitutes for whatever reason they can be shipped by traders to labs. (Rule of 16 is a usual reason- after the age of 16 some kids are all used up and no one wants to buy them) I will also send a story about troop vehicles. There are factions in China attempting to get children out of the slave camps. The Company investigated was GDNT. It is possible a drug lord named "Changing Man" is importing troop vehicles to evacuate the kids. What was seized was meant to be seized. RMNews: In other words, these 700,000 people are no more than cattle being sent to a slaughter house. RMNews Source: The Chinese and Africans do it for money. The US and European pharmaceuticals demand it. The IMF makes $60 Billion dollars in profit from LEGAL sales.
Re: [CTRL] Fwd: [RMNEWS] HARVESTABLE CHINESE IN AFRICA???
The more likely explanation for the Chinese "invasion" of Africa is the one Stratfor put forward last week: this is a ploy by the Beijing oligarchs to divert the attention and energy of the PLA to activities outside of China proper, to make either a coup d'etat or further bureaucratic imperialism by the essentially autonomous separate elements of the PLA less likely in the near term. How much of this is tied in with increased Chinese trade with the U.S., and whether there's any connection to Clinton's Africa trip, God only knows... - Original Message - From: "Kris Millegan" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2000 1:42 PM Subject: [CTRL] Fwd: [RMNEWS] HARVESTABLE CHINESE IN AFRICA???

[CTRL] Sen Burns reply re Senate Bill: SB-2099]
- SNETNEWS Mailing List Dear xx I have received a number of inquiries concerning a piece of pending legislation on gun control, sponsored by Senator Jack Reed, a Democrat from Rhode Island. A copy of this message was cc'ed to Gary and JJ as well. The bill, S. 2099, is known as the Handgun Safety and Registration Act of 2000. This legislation would amend chapter 53 (Machine Guns, Destructive Devices, and Certain Other Firearms) of the Internal Revenue Code to, among other things: (1) require the registration of handguns in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record; (2) provide for the sharing of registration information with Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies; and (3) provide for the imposition of the five dollar transfer tax on handguns and a $50 tax upon the making of each handgun. The bill was referred to the Senate Finance Committee because of its provisions involving the Internal Revenue Service and the taxes levied against gun manufacturers. Chairman Roth has assured me the bill will not be passed and I completely agree with him. This bill is just another example of the misguided gun-control advocates who erroneously think that placing restrictions on law-abiding citizens will somehow have an influence on crime and violence in this country. Additionally, this bill is flawed because legislation initiated in the Senate cannot be used to raise taxes without violating the Constitution. As always, I will continue to monitor legislation such as this that seeks to violate our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Thanks again for contacting me. Please don't hesitate to call or write with any other questions or concerns you may have. If you have an opportunity, please visit my web site at http://burns.senate.gov for updates on this and other issues of importance to Montana. Sincerely, Conrad Burns US Senator = "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival.

[CTRL] Violence Against Gun Rights Supporters
{HYPERLINK "http://www.co-freedom.com"}The Colorado Freedom Report--www.co-freedom.com
Anti-Gun Caller Threatens Freedom Report Editor
by Ari Armstrong, August 29, 2000
At about 10:05 pm today, I appeared on 9 News to discuss a legal challenge in which I'm involved against the gun show (background check) initiative. I had recorded the interview earlier in the day. Apparently, my peaceable, lawful action is too much for some supporters of the S.A.F.E. initiative to bear. The anti-gun lobby group Sane Alternatives to the Firearms Epidemic, the name of which likens gun ownership to a disease, is the sponsor of the initiative which seeks to expand background registrations to private sales at gun shows.
At about 10:07 pm today, I received an anonymous, threatening phone call. When I answered the phone, a male voice said, "Hey Nazi back off," then hung up.
The invective is particularly offensive since I'm a civil libertarian opposed to fascism in all its forms. The term "Nazi" is short for "National Socialism," the German form of fascist socialism led by Adolf Hitler in mid-century. The Nazis were racists as well as fascists and murdered millions of innocent Jews and other persons. Recently, I published an {HYPERLINK "http://www.co-freedom.com/2000/08/neveragain.html"} by Bob Glass about the horrors of the Nazi holocaust which stole the lives of Glass' family members. Leon Uris records many of the Nazi atrocities in his novel Mila 18, in which a brave group of Jews take up arms in a desperate fight against the Nazis. (My first name is taken from another of Uris' novels.)
The invective is ironic since the gun show initiative itself could be considered a fascist proposal. The Austrian economists define fascism as type of socialism in which the state controls nominally private property. The gun show initiative seeks to put private property -- in this case firearms -- under the direct control of state and federal authorities. Thus, it is a step toward fascism, and that is precisely why I oppose it.
Because of incomplete and inaccurate records, background registration checks usually deny lawful citizens their rights to purchase a firearm for self-defense. This violates the civil rights of property ownership, self-defense, and due process.
So what did I say that resulted in a gun opponent threatening me? Adam Schrager of 9 News did his usual excellent job of putting together a fair, well-researched piece. In addition to selecting opposing comments by a S.A.F.E. lawyer, he and the 9 News team used three of my quotes on air:
The anti-gun lobby S.A.F.E. claims they collected 108,000 signatures. But it's easy to collect a lot of signatures if you do it illegally.
We're going to use every means at our disposal to protect individual rights. [The context of this comment was partially lost in the cut; the line was a response to the question of why we're pursuing legal action as well as public education to fight the background registration check initiative.]
If the Supreme Court follows Colorado law then we have a good chance of succeeding on this level.
Directly after those lines aired, my phone rang. Unfortunately, that's not the first time I've been threatened by an opponent of gun ownership. (Of course I assume the S.A.F.E. leadership condemns such threats. We can't know if the anonymous caller is a member of the group or simply supports its initiative.) On {HYPERLINK "http://www.co-freedom.com/2000/05/unsafe.html"}May 3, one S.A.F.E. member told me, "I ought to bash you over the head."
Recently in Fort Collins, a woman who opposes the right of self- defense struck a member of the Tyranny Response Team with a clip board. At a rally in Boulder earlier this year, Robert Howell, vice president of the anti-gun Boulder Bell Campaign, attacked Shariar Ghalam, bloodying his nose. (Ghalam was carrying a concealed handgun but never drew it, not believing his life was in danger.) This summer, supporters of the anti-gun Million Mom March stole supplies from the Second Amendment Sisters and vandalized SAS property. For people supposedly advocating safety, some gun opponents display a surprising level of violent tendencies.
But "back off" is exactly what I won't be doing. Instead, I will redouble my efforts to defend the civil liberties of every individual, including the minority of gun owners. (Fortunately, I am kept safer by gun ownership in my neighborhood, which deters assaults.)
Freedom is not a loophole. The S.A.F.E. background registration check initiative would empower criminals and violate the civil rights of law-abiding citizens. I will help fight it until it no longer threatens our safety and our liberties.

[CTRL] WP: Wearing A Secret On Their Sleeve
Wearing A Secret On Their Sleeves By Vernon Loeb Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, August 30, 2000 ; A23 As security incidents go, the case of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) shoulder patch may lack the intrigue of a Russian bug planted in a State Department conference room or the mystery of missing tapes loaded with nuclear warhead secrets from Los Alamos National Laboratory. But for pure guilelessness, the NRO patch may be in a class by itself. Amateur satellite observers who track the orbits of classified U.S. intelligence satellites say the embroidered patch, distributed to NRO employees to commemorate the Aug. 17 launch of a Titan IV, clearly revealed the rocket's secret payload--a radar-imaging Lacrosse spy satellite. "This is most extraordinary," said retired CIA scientist Allen Thomson. "It appears that the NRO has given away significant information in advance of the current Titan IV mission in, of all things, a shoulder patch." One need not be a spy to figure this out: A Lacrosse radar-imaging satellite, unobstructed by clouds or nighttime, uses radar beams to image objects on Earth. The patch includes a slogan, "We own the night." With the latest launch, four Lacrosse satellites are believed to have been deployed, with Lacrosse 1 deorbited in 1997 after nine years of service. The patch shows four satellites circling the globe, including one that is black. A distinctive feature of the school bus-sized Lacrosse is the wire mesh that covers its antennas. The patch depicts an owl, the launch mascot, wearing what appears to be wire mesh glasses. But the most revealing detail in the patch is the approximate inclinations--the angle at which an orbit crosses the equator--of the embroidered satellites. Before the launch, Ted Molczan, a leading satellite tracker from Canada, guessed the Titan IV would be carrying a Lacrosse, given the size of the shroud covering the payload. But he didn't know whether the satellite would be launched into an orbit with a 57 degree inclination, the same orbit as Lacrosse 1 and Lacrosse 3, or an orbit with a 68 degree inclination, the same as Lacrosse 2. After he happened to see the patch on Florida Today's Web site, his quandary was resolved: The patch clearly showed the new satellite at the 68 degree inclination. So Molczan put his prediction out on the Internet before the launch: "If this interpretation [of the patch] is correct, then I believe that the available clues now point more strongly to a 68 degree inclination." And wouldn't you know: The Titan IV lifted off and put its payload into orbit_with a 68 degree inclination. Molczan and his fellow satellite trackers have been eyeing it ever since, racing through the night sky at thousands of miles an hour, more than 500 kilometers above Earth. And now they're certain: It's a Lacrosse. "If they're overhead, they're clearly visible to the naked eye," Molczan said. "Lacrosse is about as bright as the stars that make up the Big Dipper." Art Haubold, an NRO spokesman, seemed faintly annoyed by Molczan's predictions. "I'm not going to get into whether or not I felt [the patch] went too far," Haubold said. "As I say, there are explanations for all parts of the patch. People are always speculating about what our classified missions are, and this launch is no different. The payload is classified, and obviously, we don't discuss it." For those interested in viewing a government secret as it zooms through the sky over Washington, satellite trackers using software available on the Internet calculate that what they say is Lacrosse 4 will orbit the Washington area, 42 degrees in the sky at a west-northwest bearing, at 4:36 a.m. Thursday. Unraveling a Mystery Amateur satellite observers say a patch distributed by the National Reconnaissance Office revealed the secret payload of a Titan IV launched Aug. 17. Besides representing owl eyes, the image symbolizes a Lacrosse spy satellite's mesh antennas. Slogan refers to the spy satellite's radar imaging, which works at night or through clouds. Four bird shapes represent the four Lacrosse satellites believed to have been deployed so far. The black one refers to Lacrosse 1, deorbited in 1997. Two of the birds are shown flying with a 57 degree inclination, the same as Lacrosse 1 and Lacrosse 3. The other two are shown flying at a 68 degree inclination, the same as Lacrosse 2 and, apparently, Lacrosse 4, the secret payload. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A
[CTRL] NM: Clinton Disbarment Defense Overlooks Battalino
Newsmax-Inside Cover Wednesday August 30, 2000; 7:59 AM EDT Clinton Disbarment Defense Overlooks Battalino President Clinton's lawyers argued Tuesday that disbaring him for lying under oath about sex would be "excessively harsh, impermissively punative and unprecedented in the circumstances of this case." Tell it to Dr. Barbara Battalino, a federal employee who was not only prosecuted by the Clinton Justice department for lying about sex, but lost both her medical and law licenses. It was a case with stunning parallels to the president's, where Battalino, a Veteran's Administration psychiatrist, had oral sex with a patient who later sued. She denied the sex act, but her own words, taped without her knowledge, revealed otherwise. Here's how Battalino explained her predicament in a December 1, 1998 statement to the House Judiciary Committee: "The falsehood centered around my reticence to acknowledge the one act of consensual oral sex which occurred between myself and an unmarried male adult on Veterans Affairs premises. A civil suit was filed, complicated by the male party having secretly recorded phone conversations he and I had during the months an intimate relationship between us developed. These very tapes were instrumental in having the civil suit dismissed in September of 1998, with no monetary award or settlement being made by myself or the Veterans Affairs Administration. "So how is it I am a convicted felon? In early 1998 my attorney received word that the U.S. Department of Justice planned to indict me for perjury based upon an untruthful response I gave to a question regarding whether anything of a sexual nature had occurred between myself and that individual on June 27, 1991. " Battalino's case has been largely forgotten since the president was acquitted on impeachment charges by the Senate. But her situation has a direct bearing on White House claims that disbarment would be unfair to Clinton. Again, in her own words: "I am neither a historian nor a Constitutional scholar. I am an American who worked hard to complete both a medical and law degree, and have practiced in public and government service for over 20 years until I became a convicted felon in April of 1998. I am presently fulfilling the consequences imposed on me as a result of this conviction." Battalino explained those consequences to NBC News before she testified to the House: "It has been very devastating for my life and my family's life. I don't have the ability anymore to practice medicine, I have a law degree that I cannot use, I've suffered humiliation and people have been bringing up my name that people who don't even know me and who have distorted the actual facts of the case, and so it has been very disturbing for myself and my family." For Battalino, lying about sex cost her both her job and her future. Contrary to what Clinton's lawyers have argued, she doesn't think his punishment has been at all "excessive." "I hope that justice will be for all and that Mr.Clinton will somehow or another have to have a similar degree of punishment that I have had," she told NBC. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] NM: Clinton Monuments Assailed in Court
Clinton Monuments Assailed in Court NewsMax.com August 30, 2000 Conservative land-use groups have challenged President Clinton's constitutional authority to create national monuments by a stroke of his pen without consulting Congress. The Mountain States Legal Foundation and the BlueRibbon Coalition filed suit Tuesday in federal court in Washington to cancel half of the 10 monuments Clinton designated this year. The five contested monuments in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon and Washington contain 1.5 million acres, where off-road vehicle use, mining, logging and oil drilling were suddenly banned or restricted. According to the Associated Press: William Perry Pendley of the Mountain States Legal Foundation said, "The bottom line is, the president doesn't have the authority to do what he's done." He said the president violated the provision in the 1906 Antiquities Act that national monuments "shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected." Pendley said that Clinton "has no authority to close these areas because they are pretty, because they have endangered-species habitat, because they have wild and scenic rivers or because they have 800-year-old trees." A president's power under the Antiquities Act, he said, is only to protect historic, archaeological or scientific sites. Traditionally, federal courts have rejected legal challenges to national monuments. However, Congress also has authority over federal land use, and Republican members have condemned Clinton's declaration of so many national monuments, covering some 4 million acres, as an election-year gambit to toady up to environmental groups. Dick Cheney, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said if George W. Bush is elected president in November they might rescind some of the Clinton monuments. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Vice Presidential Candidate Lieberman's Campaign Mixes Politics And Religion
VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LIEBERMAN'S CAMPAIGN MIXES POLITICS AND RELIGION DETROIT (AP)âMixing his religion with politics as never before, vice-presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman yesterday told members of a black church that he hopes his candidacy as an Orthodox Jew will reinstate "a place for faith in America's public life." By the time Mr. Lieberman left some 500 congregants of the Fellowship Chapel, he had been feted as a civil-rights freedom fighter, sheathed in African kente cloth as if he were one of their own, and embraced as a man of faithânever mind from a different faith. "As a people, we need to reaffirm our faith and renew the dedication of our nation and ourselves to GOD and GOD'S purposes," said Mr. Lieberman, the first Jew to run for national office on a major party ticket. "Let us break through some of the inhibitions that have existed to talk together across the flimsy lines of separation of faith, to talk together, to study together, to pray together, and ultimately to sing together His holy name," Mr. Lieberman told Fellowship Chapel, affiliated with the United Church of Christ. In his recent book, "In Praise of Public Life," Mr. Lieberman wrote that he sees religion as a way to rebuild "what has come to feel like a crumbling moral framework in the life of our nation," but he had never before campaigned on the issue. Speaking from the pulpit in a speech littered with biblical references, Mr. Lieberman said the nation has lost its moral foundation in part because the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion has been confused to mean "freedom from religion." He said he hoped his candidacy would change that. "I hope it will enable people, all people who are moved, to talk about their faith and about their religion, and I hope that it will reinforce a belief that I feel as strongly as anything else, that there must be a place for faith in America's public life," he said. He made no mention of the effects on the nation of President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. Instead, he celebrated the strong economy, more jobs, and low crime rate as accomplishments of Mr. Clinton and Vice President Al Gore over the last eight years. He likened them to Moses. "In some sense, you might say the Red Sea finally parted and more Americans than ever before walked through behind President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore," Mr. Lieberman said. Mr. Lieberman, who supports a moment of silence in public schools, though not necessarily a moment of prayer, also gave a nod to nonbelievers. He said people of faith must "reassure them that we share with them the core values of America, that our faith is not inconsistent with their freedom and our mission is not one of intolerance, but one of love." Before Mr. Lieberman took to the pulpit, the Reverend Wendell Anthony, pastor of the chapel and president of the largest chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the country, recalled for worshippers how Mr. Lieberman in the 1960s had marched on Washington with Martin Luther King and went into Mississippi to register black voters. And he criticized Republican rivals George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney in the process. "It does mean something," said Mr. Anthony, shouting in a lyrical cadence, "for I ain't read nothing about no Bushes in Mississippi I ain't seen no Cheneys on no freedom buses." In a poke at Michigan's governor, Mr. Anthony added, "John Engler ain't pass out no voter registration cards." Later, Mr. Lieberman recalled how he had spoken at a civil rights rally in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the 1960s just before Mr. King, and that the civil-rights leader had remarked, "very good, young man." "I had actually thought I heard the voice of Moses," Mr. Lieberman said. Nurse Renee Walls, 44, a member of the church, said she didn't care that Mr. Lieberman was of a different faith. "He spoke from the heart. It doesn't matter what the religion is. It's about unity," she said. Later, Mr. Lieberman spoke to about 1,300 people at a campaign rally in Southfield, Michigan, and he met with about two dozen members of the local Arab-American community. Abed Hammoud, president of the Arab American Political Action Committee, said afterward that he felt reassured that Mr. Lieberman's religion will not cloud his judgment about Middle East peace but said he believes Mr. Lieberman must state that more publicly.

[CTRL] Top Ten Lies About West Nile Virus And Anvil Insecticide
Top 10 Lies About West Nile Virus and Anvil Insecticide Spray By Robert Lederman [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zmag.org/Bulletins/poravax.htm 8-29-00 LIE #1: THE ONLY SIDE-EFFECTS OF 'ANVIL' EXPOSURE ARE COUGHING, STUFFY NOSE, ITCHING AND WATERY EYES Exactly like an allergic reaction to pollen, these responses to the toxic ingredients of Anvil are an attempt by a person's immune system to flush the substances from the body. Mucus nasal secretions, tears and coughing to expel the irritant from the lungs are not the harmful effects of exposure but are simply proof that the body recognizes Anvil as something it wants to get rid of immediately. The symptoms of a disease are not the effects of a disease. If you have emphysema from cigarette smoking you may feel tired and have difficulty breathing. In response, you might use an inhaler and temporarily breath better, but that would hardly mean you had recovered from the disease or from permanent damage to your lung tissue. The suspected and in many cases already proven long term effects of exposure to Pyrethrins like Anvil include immune system and liver damage, endocrine disruption, proliferation of breast cancer cells, lowered sperm count and cognitive difficulties. The latest science concerning this finds that at even the most minimal exposure serious health effects and endocrine disruption have been observed. The real damage from exposure to these chemicals won't be manifested until long after the itching, runny nose or coughing have stopped. By then, few people will remember or be able to prove the connection between exposure and their illness. Chemical companies, just like cigarette manufacturers, depend on this time lag between exposure and illness to prevent them from being found liable. LIE #2: WEST NILE VIRUS (WNV) IS A DEADLY DISEASE The Mayor and the media keep referring to WNV as a deadly disease transmitted by killer mosquitoes. Yet, they qualify these claims by saying that WNV is very hard to become infected by and that most people who do get infected recover without any treatment and without experiencing any symptoms. So which is it, a deadly infectious disease, or very mild and hard to become infected by? It can't be both. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) the largest known WNV epidemic in history occurred in Romania in 1996. Approximately 100,000 people allegedly became infected. About 400 of those people became ill with symptoms of encephalitis. Only 15 of those people, all of whom were over 65, died. Considering the level of health care in that country and the poor nutritional status and immune health of its senior citizens, these statistics indicate that the virus is much less dangerous than the common cold. See: (www.naba.org/wnvirus.html). In NYC according to the Department of Health's own study, of the four NYC residents who they claim died last year from WNV, three were taking immunosuppresant cancer drugs and the fourth was HIV-positive...meaning that only people with severely compromised immune systems die from WNV and that even in those cases death is rare. [See: New York City Department of Health, West Nile Virus: A Briefing, City Health Information Vol. 19, No. 1 (May 2000) http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/doh/html/chi/chi.html] LIE #3: SEVEN PEOPLE DIED LAST YEAR FROM WNV Every Giuliani press release and every news report prominently mentions that seven people died in the general NYC area last year from WNV. Like the Mayor's crime statistics or the Federal government's claims that the economy has never been better these statements are unverifiable. No name, blood sample or tissue sample of any person who allegedly died from WNV has been made available to independent scientists for confirmation and testing. Every claim of an infected bird, mosquito or human is based on reports by the NYC Department of Health or scientists that work for the CDC or receive funding from them. These are also the same exact source of the spray policy, creating a perfect loop of "proof" justifying their own decision to spray. In science an outside independent source verifying the conclusions and reproducing experimental results is always necessary before any statement can be taken as a fact. The same is generally true in law, in journalism and in business. See the end of this report for an analysis of the reliability of the CDC in this matter. LIE #4: THE PESTICIDE BEING USED, 'ANVIL,' IS NATURAL Anvil is a synthetic imitation of a naturally occurring substance found in Chrysanthemums. The natural version, which is considered much safer than the synthetic, is far more expensive and is not being used anywhere in NYC. This information is plainly stated in the Mayor's press releases yet he stands up at press conferences directly contradicting it-a good indication of his truthfulness on the entire WNV issue. Most of the numerous other ingredients in Anvil are synthetic derivatives of petroleum-based chemicals such as Benzene and
[CTRL] Elian in the hospital?
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! THE BOY WITHOUT A COUNTRY Elian in the hospital? U.S. mayor says lad 'OK,' but doctor challenges Castro to 'show him' -- -- By Charles Smith © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com Countering reports that Elian Gonzalez lays injured in a Cuban hospital with a broken jaw, a U.S. mayor said yesterday that he met with Elian Gonzalez last week and that the boy is "OK." Reports have circulated widely, particularly on the Internet, about a Miami-based doctor who claimed that Elian was recently beaten by his father and is in the hospital. Indeed, David Hoech, a retired doctor living in Miami with extensive connections inside the Cuban and diplomatic community, said: "We heard news that Elian was being treated for a broken jaw in a Cuban hospital. The next day, we established communication with humanitarian service entities and were told that he was in a Children's Hospital in Cienfuegos." But the dire reports about Elian brought a rebuttal from Oakland, Calif., Mayor Jerry Brown. On ABC's "Good Morning America" yesterday morning, the former California governor said he met Elian last week, during a visit to the communist country aimed at enhancing relations between his California city and the eastern Cuban city of Santiago. Saying Elian is "OK" and not injured, Brown also discussed his views for improved trade relations with Castro and Cuba. "The battle over trade with China has ended," said Brown in a recent interview published by the Associated Press, noting the recent congressional vote to grant "permanent normal trade relations" status to the Asian communist nation. "There is not a fig leaf to cover the lack of logic of the Cuba trade embargo," added Brown. Yet, Cuban government sources would not comment on Brown, trade issues or Elian. Attempts to confirm or deny the allegations with the official Cuban diplomatic U.N. mission in New York were unsuccessful, as the Cuban representatives refused to answer questions. Sources inside the American intelligence community are also dubious about stories of Elian's injuries. One Pentagon source noted that Castro would "love" to discredit U.S. media such as WorldNetDaily with a disinformation story on Elian. On the other hand, the source did confirm that U.S. military monitoring of Cuban propaganda ministry outlets noted there was no news on Elian for a number of days. In Miami, Dr. Hoech stands ready with a Lear jet and X-ray machine in hopes the U.S. and Cuban governments will give in to his request. Hoech noted that the recent absence of Elian in Cuban propaganda only serves to support his suspicion that the boy has been injured. "Why not show him now, Comrade Fidel?" asked Hoeck. "If the child is OK, then it is in the best interests of Cuba to show him," concluded Hoeck. "The father had a history of beating Elian. Elian had to have an eye operation after a beating from his father. The violence was one reason why Elian's mom left Cuba." "I have sent a letter to Janet Reno and no comment," added Hoech. "I am asking to get permission for three doctors to fly to Cuba and examine Elian Gonzalez at no expense to our government or the Cuban government. If this report is not true, then Castro would have trotted little Elian out in front of the TV cameras to prove to the whole world that the boy is all right." *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] Buchanan accepts debate invite Agrees to attend Judicial Watch forum
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Buchanan accepts debate invite Agrees to attend Judicial Watch forum in wake of Gore's nod -- -- By Julie Foster © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com Presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan, the Reform Party nominee, yesterday officially accepted Judicial Watch's invitation to participate in a presidential debate about restoring ethics to government -- the same debate invitation Vice President Al Gore accepted last week. Buchanan is the latest to give notice of his intention to participate, joining Gore and Constitution Party candidate Howard Phillips. The debate is tentatively scheduled to take place Friday, Oct. 20, at the Ronald Reagan Building, three blocks from the White House. However, as reported last week, Gore's attendance is dependent upon Gov. George W. Bush's agreement to three televised, prime-time debates in the model of the presidential debate forum, according to the vice president's campaign office. Buchanan said he looks forward to participating in the Judicial Watch debate "and the questioning of the integrity and honor of the Clinton-Gore White House in the last eight years. That will be the central focus of the debate," he said. "It is a central issue of this campaign, even though both parties may wish to forget it or ignore it." Staff at the Bush campaign, as well as staff of Green Party candidate Ralph Nader and Libertarian Harry Browne, confirmed to Judicial Watch that they are favorably disposed to participating in the debate, but have not yet sent in their formal acceptances. John Hagelin was also extended an invitation to participate in the event, but he has not yet responded. Hagelin is running as the "Third Party Coalition" candidate, under the banners of both the Reform Party and the Natural Law Party. He is currently embroiled in a dispute with Buchanan over which candidate will receive federal campaign funds. "Now that Vice President Gore, Patrick J. Buchanan, Howard Phillips and others have accepted or are about to accept Judicial Watch's invitation, this makes it all the more likely that George W. Bush will do so as well, particularly since he could not be seen to be dodging a debate of how to restore ethics to government, given his party's criticism of the Democratic Clinton-Gore White House over the past seven-and-a-half years," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. Phillips was the first to respond to the invitation, sending his letter of acceptance on July 31. "I commend Larry Klayman for being the first, of whom I'm aware, to invite all of those candidates who are going to be on the ballot. ..." said Phillips. "I think this could very well be important in breaking the media blackout" on third party candidates, he continued, saying the media has kept its focus largely on the Republican and Democrat candidates. Phillips noted that he and Browne had "managed to get on the ballot without taking the king's schilling." Some candidates believe they ought to be included in presidential debates based on their eligibility and acceptance of federal campaign funds, he added. "Patriots did not seek subsidies from King George, and neither will we," he said. "If anything, that should be a disqualification." The Constitution Party candidate also said he looks forward to the debate and is glad Buchanan accepted Klayman's invitation. Gore's positive response to the debate is noteworthy, given the pending legal action taken against the vice president by Judicial Watch. Klayman praised Gore last week for the Democrat's willingness to participate in the forum, calling the vice president "gutsy" and "courageous." Following the Friday night debate, on Saturday, Oct. 21, Judicial Watch will continue its "Ethics in Government 2000" conference at the Hilton Washington. Among the featured speakers will be Joseph Farah, WorldNetDaily.com's editor and CEO. The Washington, D.C., event is open to the public; the registration phone number is 1-800-790-9065. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] Clinton Monuments Assailed in Court
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Clinton Monuments Assailed in Court NewsMax.com August 30, 2000 Conservative land-use groups have challenged President Clinton's constitutional authority to create national monuments by a stroke of his pen without consulting Congress. The Mountain States Legal Foundation and the BlueRibbon Coalition filed suit Tuesday in federal court in Washington to cancel half of the 10 monuments Clinton designated this year. The five contested monuments in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon and Washington contain 1.5 million acres, where off-road vehicle use, mining, logging and oil drilling were suddenly banned or restricted. According to the Associated Press: William Perry Pendley of the Mountain States Legal Foundation said, "The bottom line is, the president doesn't have the authority to do what he's done." He said the president violated the provision in the 1906 Antiquities Act that national monuments "shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected." Pendley said that Clinton "has no authority to close these areas because they are pretty, because they have endangered-species habitat, because they have wild and scenic rivers or because they have 800-year-old trees." A president's power under the Antiquities Act, he said, is only to protect historic, archaeological or scientific sites. Traditionally, federal courts have rejected legal challenges to national monuments. However, Congress also has authority over federal land use, and Republican members have condemned Clinton's declaration of so many national monuments, covering some 4 million acres, as an election-year gambit to toady up to environmental groups. Dick Cheney, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said if George W.

WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! ARTICLE 4 ~ Readiness in the News ~ Ed.: Equipment and personnel readiness are down and taking a severe toll on training and rapid deployment capabilities. *** From multiple sources A. USMC: MV-22, CH-53E, AH-1W Fleets Grounded Mechanical problems led the Marine Corps to ground 374 aircraft Sunday, including all 11 of its MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotors. The decision to suspend flight operations for Ospreys, CH-53E Super Stallion transport helicopters and AH-1W Cobra attack helicopters was made late Friday. The most significant of the three actions was the grounding of the workhorse CH-53E Super Stallions. The Corps' 198 AH-1W Cobra attack helicopters were grounded after it was discovered this week that some older rotor blades may be susceptible to cracking. Each Cobra will undergo a one-time inspection to identify and replace, if necessary, the suspect blades. --- B. ARMY: NTC Battle Postponed A training battle scheduled for last Friday at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, CA was delayed because of severe maintenance problems with the deployed tank fleet. According to our sources, only 8 of 44 M1A2 tanks from Fort Hood, TX were fully mission capable at exercise start time. This recurring maintenance and parts supply issue has cost deployed troops many valuable training days and must be addressed from two angles. One is the funding fore sufficient repair items, two is the replacement of equipment that cannot be repaired on station but requires depot overhauls. --- C. The Washington Times reports (excerpts from a 29 Aug 00 report): Army Training Centers get failing Grades By Rowan Scarborough More than half of Army combat and support training centers have plunged to the lowest possible readiness level, with some commanding generals warning they risk not being able to turn out qualified soldiers, internal documents say. The sensitive Army reports show that of 20 schools for such critically important skills as field artillery, infantry and aviation, 12 have dipped to a C-4 rating, the military's lowest. "In the three-year period since the time I was assistant commandant to now, I have never seen a resource picture so bleak. And as we know, it will get worse," said a report from Maj. Gen. Tony Stricklin, commander of the Army Field Artillery School at Fort Still, Okla. The documents paint a disturbing picture of training within the very system designed to teach basic combat skills and prepare soldiers for real-life operations. The skills include artillery and missile firings, helicopter aviation, land combat and intelligence. Some of the lowest-ranked training sites include the Army Aviation Center at Fort Rucker, Ala.; the Army Intelligence Center at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.; and the Army Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Okla. "Let me clearly state the U.S. Army Field Artillery School is nearing an unready state for training artillery soldiers," Gen. Stricklin wrote. A spokesman for Army Training and Doctrine Command, which oversees the training centers and collected the readiness reports, declined comment yesterday. "We have no comment at all about leaked material," said spokesman Harvey Perritt The documents show that of 20 schools, 12 were classified C-4. Six were rated C-3. The highest rating, C-2, went to chaplain training and special warfare. The 12 C-4 grades were for training in air defense, aviation, chemical weapons, combined arms, engineering, field artillery, infantry, military intelligence, military police, signal corps and transportation.

WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! ARTICLE 9 The Navy's Attempt to keep the Enlisted Uneducated Ed.: Our Navy is advertising educational benefits as main bait for young recruits. But are these benefits really accessible and do they contribute to retention? A young sailor offers some insights. By AT1 Eric Schauer For years, the military has used educational benefits as a selling point to draw new recruits. The benefits haven't always been the best, but they have historically been better than those offered by most civilian companies. From the Veteran's Educational Assistance Program (VEAP), which was popular when I joined, to today's Montgomery GI Bill, the military has seemingly always provided help for those who wanted to further their education. It seems though that there is something different about today's Navy and the education of young Sailors, specifically the enlisted ranks. The mixed message we are receiving is "get an education, but do it on your own time, with your own money." VEAP and the Montgomery GI bill have always been recommended to be used after one leaves the service, since there are other programs to use while on active duty. True, there is Tuition Assistance, which covers 75% of one's tuition to attend college and vocational classes. That program has a $3500 annual cap and covers only tuition. The money cannot be used to pay for books or any other college costs. The $3500 cap leaves very few options of higher education other than community colleges. Anything higher than that and the money runs out after just a few classes. Compare Tuition Assistance to the Navy's Tuition Assurance program that is available only to officers in pay grades O-3 through O-6. This program gives $20,000 annually for officers to pursue a second bachelor's degree or a master's degree. The money from this program is not limited to tuition alone, and can be used for books and any supplies needed. This program is offered not only to those who already have a degree, but who make up to four or five times the salary of their enlisted counterparts. There's also the Program for Afloat College Education (PACE) courses. These college courses are offered free of charge to Sailors when stationed or serving aboard ship. The only cost is for books. For years these courses were offered during normal working hours, but that policy has changed. Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy James Herdt during a command visit to the USS Carl Vinson was asked by a sailor about the policy that PACE courses be taken during off shift hours. MCPON Herdt replied that their goal as junior sailors should be to put in a full day's work first, then, if time permits, to go to school. Most junior sailors, especially the less educated in the most physically strenuous jobs, are already putting in ten- or twelve-hour workdays. After a full day for them, most have neither the time, nor the energy left to pursue an education. Even if Sailors do find the time to attend PACE courses, the classes offered are usually the most basic, and could never result in a degree, unless combined with outside, formal education. Many colleges, like the University of Phoenix, are now offering courses online. Since most of the Navy's ships are linked to the Internet, one would assume that this would be a viable alternative for sailors seeking a degree. However, this is not the case. Even after expensive upgrades of ships' satellite and LAN systems, many Commanding Officers are restricting Internet access to only officers and senior enlisted personnel. This means that any junior enlisted personnel at sea will not have the same opportunity to attend online courses that the senior enlisted and officers have. Internet connections at sea are extremely sporadic, so chances of the connection being shared with junior enlisted personnel when it is up are extremely slim. The educational benefits that the Navy keeps advertising are becoming harder and harder to cash in on while serving on active duty. A former USS Carl Vinson Executive Officer, Commander Wren, once told a group of sailors that "a person's ability to make ethical decisions is directly proportional to that person's formal education". So why wouldn't the Navy want better-educated enlisted personnel? Perhaps the Navy's leaders don't really want the junior enlisted making sound, ethical decisions. Perhaps they know that knowledge is power, and are unwilling to give their subordinates any more power than is necessary to "get the job done". Yes, knowledge is power. When this sailor gets his degree, in spite of obstacles put in place by my own Navy, it will make me feel very powerful indeed. Coincidentally, that will be just about the time I get out.

[CTRL] Iran's Militants Latch on to Student Cause
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Iran's Militants Latch on to Student Cause Summary The Iranian government has begun to draw links between Iraqi- supported militants and Iran's own student protestors. Formal cooperation between these groups is unlikely - but the threat gives Iran's security forces a golden excuse for a crackdown. Analysis The Iranian leadership faces internal dissent and an external military threat. It has identified possible connections between student protestors and the Iraq-based People's Mujahadeen (MKO). While any formal links are unlikely, the threat of MKO involvement provides justification for increased crackdowns on protesters. Student protestors and the MKO both present challenges to Iranian security - but they are separate issues. Most protestors want the regime to change. The MKO wants to change the regime. The MKO is a 40-year-old resistance group - founded on a mixture of Marxism and Islam - which opposes Iran's current clerical regime and the pro- Western government of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, which preceded it. Many of its current fighters held positions within the Shah's internal security apparatus and now cooperate with the Iraqi government. Would you like to see full text? http://www.stratfor.com/SERVICES/giu2000/083000.ASP ___ Iran's protestors are a mixture of students, political activists, unemployed and ordinary workers. The students and political activists are organized in a loose coalition. Most of the larger protests involving ordinary citizens are spontaneous and motivated by basic issues such as overzealous security crackdowns or a lack of water and electricity. A series of incidents provide a tenuous link between the MKO and the student protestors. State-run Iranian television reported on Aug. 19 that Iranian security forces found forged student identity cards on two MKO members who were critically injured in a border clash earlier this month. The militants also reportedly carried explosive devices and maps of Tehran, consistent with Iranian claims of MKO infiltration attempts into Iranian cities. The MKO has been extremely active this month. It claimed to destroy three security bases in western Iran on Aug. 12, according to Al- Sharq al-Awsat. The group claimed responsibility for ambushing and killing a Brigadier General as his security convoy drove through northwest Tehran on Aug. 29. And the group battled Iranian military units in three border provinces last weekend, killing hundreds according to an MKO spokesman. The MKO is also trying to link itself to Iran's student demonstrators. The militant group claimed responsibility for an Aug. 28 mortar attack in Tehran and told Agence France-Presse the attack was carried out "in the name of the people of Khoramabad and their heroic uprising in recent days." Khoramabad was engulfed by political clashes between students and conservative militias in the middle of August. _ For more on Iran, see: http://www.stratfor.com/MEAF/countries/Iran/default.htm _ The riots were sparked when volunteer Islamic militia stopped two Iranian reformers from addressing a student meeting. The resulting conflict left one policeman dead and 20 people injured. Demonstrators at the policeman's funeral reportedly beat the provincial governor-general until police intervened. The Khoramabad riots and the MKO attack took place at roughly the same time, both in Iran's western provinces. However, coordination between the two groups is unlikely. The students aren't that organized, and they risk their credibility by allying with Iraq- loving militants. More likely, the MKO may have used the riots as cover to attack pre-arranged targets. And dedicating a mortar attack to the people of Khoramabad is likely an attempt to gain legitimacy and support from everyday Iranians. The MKO members may very well have carried student identity cards, or the entire story could be a fabrication by Iranian security forces. In either case, a link has been established between the protestors and the militants. The risk for the Iranian government - and for the students - is that the MKO will infiltrate the protest movement and attempt to instigate unrest. Police can argue that further demonstrations might be organized by the MKO, or at least used as cover for infiltrations or sabotage. Security forces now have a legitimate reason to prevent protests from taking place - or immediately crack down once they start. _ For more on the Middle East Africa, see: http://www.stratfor.com/meaf/default.htm _ (c) 2000 Stratfor, Inc. *COPYRIGHT

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+IBk-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+IBk-s meandering, off-the-cuff speech praised "indigenous" religious faiths and then wandered through a paean to the things all humans have in common +IBM- "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+IBk-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+IBk-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+IBk-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.

Re: [CTRL] Top Ten Lies About West Nile Virus And Anvil Insecticide
LIE #3: SEVEN PEOPLE DIED LAST YEAR FROM WNV Every Giuliani press release and every news report prominently mentions that seven people died in the general NYC area last year from WNV. Like the Mayor's crime statistics or the Federal government's claims that the economy has never been better these statements are unverifiable. No name, blood sample or tissue sample of any person who allegedly died from WNV has been made available to independent scientists for confirmation and testing. About a month ago, my local cable access channel broadcast a workshop held at a local community college about 'emerging health issues' here in Connecticut, and much of the lecture was devoted to WNV. A spokesman from the CDC was there, and gave statistics regarding the NYC victims; as pointed out previously in this post, when looked at closely the brouhaha over WNV is much ado about nothing. Almost everyone who displayed symptoms of WNV was over the age of 65. All those who died were over the age of 70. According to the CDC spokesman, almost all of the 7 victims were in good health before being stricken with WNV. But it still seems to be a disease that is only worrisome for the aged and the infirm -- the same thing could be said of the common flu. This CDC spokesman confirmed what was stated elsewhere in this post, namely most people who are bitten by a mosquito infected with WNV won't even display any symptoms, and of those that do, most will display minor flu-like symptoms and will recover with no need of medical intervention. Every claim of an infected bird, mosquito or human is based on reports by the NYC Department of Health or scientists that work for the CDC or receive funding from them. Connecticut's own state-run health department (no tie to CDC), has also been reporting finding infected birds and mosquitoes throughout the state. But here they're trying 'natural' measures; last summer and early this year it was a spraying program with a spray the guv touted as 'organic' and 'natural'; but after the lobstermen in the state started the ball rolling to sue whomever they can over their claim that NYC's aggressive spraying was the root cause for the massive lobster die-off in Long Island Sound late last year, lasting through this year, the state has backed off of any type of spraying and instead is relying on educating the public to remove standing pools of water, use lots of insect repellant when outside, and if necessary they place larvacides (billed as 'natural') in the sewers, ponds, swamps, etc. LIE #4: THE PESTICIDE BEING USED, 'ANVIL,' IS NATURAL Anvil is a synthetic imitation of a naturally occurring substance found in Chrysanthemums. The natural version, which is considered much safer than the synthetic, is far more expensive and is not being used anywhere in NYC. This was what was being used in Connecticut last year and early this year, but as I said, right after that health conference where the CDC guy spelled out how much WNV is NOT a major threat, and after the lobstermen started their lawsuit, the state immediately stopped all spraying and has not resumed. This information is plainly stated in the Mayor's press releases yet he stands up at press conferences directly contradicting it-a good indication of his truthfulness on the entire WNV issue. Most of the numerous other ingredients in Anvil are synthetic derivatives of petroleum-based chemicals such as Benzene and Piperonyl Butoxide. Many of these ingredients are on the EPA's list of dangerous, toxic and cancer causing substances. They are about as far from natural as you can get. The lobstermen are suing not only NYC, but the manufacturers of the synthetic Anvil, I believe...should get interesting when and if their case ever gets nearer to going to trial... It is illegal in NY State to describe any pesticide as safe. Unfortunately we have no such law here in Connecticut, where our guv waxed eloquently last year and early this year about how 'safe' the 'natural' insecticide being used was... Much of the spraying was done on damp, even rainy days-in direct violation of the manufacturer's instructions. Much of the chemical is deposited in shady areas, on leaves, in cracks and crevices, in A/C filters, in heating vents and in countless other places where there is no direct sunlight. Here in Connecticut, people residing in neighborhoods where spraying was planned were told to close all windows and doors and not use a/c. The spraying occured in the overnight hours, which meant these poor people had to try to sleep in the excessive heat of last summer's heat wave/drought in houses completely closed and without a/c. How many do you think really did that, or decided to risk either opening their windows or running their a/c?

In the USA alone, about 200 million use this ubiquitous product of a billion-dollar industry, first approved by a corrupt FDA in 1974 and 1981. In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D.

Re: [CTRL] What Ted Turner omitted
What did Turner Omit?Judaism?Well Lieberman is the only moral candidate running? Father drove a bakery truck, to owned a liquor store, and sent his poor hardworking son to what was it, Yale? Another Rhodes Scholar with a book he wrote in 1970.who rode with Martin Luther king? Only moral man in America who takes money from let us see - Larry Flynt still hanging around? Turner says destroy Christianity and ISLAM.boy that guy has not sobered up yet, the man who married Hanoi Jane Now I say this, and I know what I am talking about. Exxon Oil brought over King Tuts stuff, and within a yeara, two were dead and not from the Mummy's Cursewhat happened to them, virtually happened to the USS Liberty, and the little Princess of Wales and her Egyptian lover and boy I am glad I did not drive a white Fiat..Avengers of Blood? Moslem style? Straight out of Old Testament? This Godly Sainted Man Lieberman, only man fit for President for that is what he will be and that is the plan. So Tuts stuff came over in 1963 and Pope John and JFK both diedstraight out of Daniel in the bible, all planned to a bible code and not that stupid cabbalitic crap that Bob Woodward' s henchman put out with the Israelie.Woodward refused to return my stuff and my attorney wanted to sue himreally that that sleaze looks like Robert Redford, who played 3 Days of the Condor.and that book, well the real coded book is the bible and it is only an allegory. So we had murder in 63 with Tut, and murder in 1979 was it, and Reagan shot.CFR got him, and it was not any fault of George Bush for you see systematically they are destroying the giants and placing Jewish Mafia in quietly, and jail the Italian Mafia.they are respectable now,money in big foundatioans..like Klebolds family through the grandfather...oh so respectable, money does that you know. Today I had a wakeup callfor example, I had a Chinese tea set, Singh dydnasty, worth a fortune.Park Bernet told me years ago, hold onto it, market coming soon Chinese stuffhad new Chinese gallery going in. Well I had to sell it and only got $ 3,000 and the lucky rich doctor who bought it also bought my 700 year old Chinese incense burner..today worth a lot more, but I needed the money then more than the art...market big now. So today Toscano's sent out their new magazinefull of King Tut stuff and Neferiti.sgn of times..Valley of Hamon Gog equates to Valley of Tut Ank Hamonvalley of death, valley of the Presidents.Arlington Cemetary.read Ezekia. 38 and 39 key to JFK murder and Daniel.they even built a wall in Daniel, and was torn downgreat China Wall and we prepare for war in two theatres...Asian and European? Zionism? Is this what it is all about.this sainted holy man running but let us see now what kind of a man he really is. Talk big, but beter have big guns for backup for the old Jewish stories about big mouth and no guns just doesn't work, when we are arming the rest of the world for war, while we let down our defenseslike they did in Dallas, that day in 1963...did a little side step and a typical ritualistic mafia murder, keyed to stars and the TESTAMENTS Always remember, for where there are witnesses there must by necessity be death, of all testatorsor kill the witnesses, dead men tell no tales. Ted Turner, that drunken bum no doubt had a few belts before he came up with that garbage. How much did he give to UN to destroy America, that alcoholic bastard THINKS Look at the MEN in Australia..they even murdered Dundee, a legend...example? Wait till that bunch gets going in Australiawhat is that song Waltzine Matilidy"you'll never take me alive said he". Watch real men in action.they are going to throw the bums out and die trying...enough, is enough. He gave billion dollars in pledge and money to UN..this alcoholic, front for organized crime, and he wants to bring down Christianity and ISLAMget the picture. Hey, right now - better dead, than Ted that alcoholic bastard. All that money he is still a bum, and his wife Hanoi Jane, is still a traitor who may have caused the death of how many soldiers? Remembr Viet Nam? Spies in Georgia used to report UFO's when our planes took off and night before ships would arive, Viet Kong wwaited to kill our pilots.. Ted Turner and CNN..a drunken front for 2nd rate reporting. A.

[CTRL] Front Man for Whom? Nobody really ever checked...
Organized sports, organized crime, and organized UN...with a bum like Turner trying to call the shots? August 31, 2000 Ted Turner's Nine Commandments by: Candice Atherton Ted Turner brought down the house during a speech to the National Family and Reproductive Center, an organization which supports abortion rights and contraception. He received applause for not only his jokes, but his introduction of a policy for international family planning. Unfortunately, his jokes were at the expense of several special interest groups and his advocacy could be viewed as hypocritical at best. During the speech, Turner made three comments that invoked laughter from his audience but sparked a series of criticisms and requests for apologies: Regarding Pope John Paul II's upholding of Catholic values, Turner suggested that he "get with it - welcome to the 20th Century." Regarding the 10 Commandments, Turner belittled them saying they are "a little out of date. If you're only going to have 10 rules I don't know if (prohibiting) adultery should be one of them." Regarding what he would say to the Pope (who is Polish), Turner kicked his foot up in the air and said "Ever seen a Polish mine detector?" And finally, he made a policy suggestion that the world adopt an international standard of one child per family. This coming from a man who between he and his wife, has eight children. Turner was quickly rebuked by the objects of his offense, including Polish officials and religious leaders who demanded apologies for the brash remarks. Because bad reputations eventually come to rest in opposition with one's career, it's not surprising that Turner did eventually apologize to both groups. The apologies came in the form of public statements released by his office in Atlanta, not personal declarations of his regret. For someone who has a history of offending, this pattern of disrespect has sadly become something to expect from Mr. Turner. In 1990, he said that Christianity was "for losers," but apologized at a church soon after. Once he suggested in a speech that unemployed African Americans be used to haul mobile missiles "like Egyptians building the pyramids." The subsequent criticism resulted in his telling civil rights leaders that he was kidding. What are we to make of a man whose words are so blatantly intending to harm and whose perfunctory apologies are motivated by reputation-saving rather than repentance? The tendency for us to be angered should be tempered by the notion that his words are simply a reflection of a heart that is equally bitter. In cases like this, Janet Parshall, a well known and respected national talk-radio host, has suggested the idea of a "most wanted" list. Most wanted for the Kingdom, that is. Perhaps the best reaction we can have to people who bash the values we hold sacred is to pray that their hearts be transformed. That is the one proactive step that the Bible teaches in response to those who mistreat us: "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," Mathew 5:44. And while the tendency to retaliate in oral judgment may be our first reaction, remember that judgmental words are what got Turner into trouble in the first place.
