[CTRL] OPEC THEY IS US!
The general thesis of this article, that Oil Companies are gouging consumers, may well be correct. However the authors' case is considerably weakend by errors, ommissions, misunderstandings and an overall simplistic approach to a complex topic. The first problem is that both OPEC and the Oil Majors have only been cartels in the strict sense of the word, at various times during history. To address OPEC first. The Definition of a cartel is: " A combination of producers to regulate the output and prices of a commodity." So although OPEC was called a cartel during the 1970's it was not. OPEC was trying to set prices, but not output - yet. There were no quotas or assigned production levels. The cartel started in March 1982 when OPEC , which had produced 31 million barrels per day in 1979, set an output limit for the group of 18 million barrels per day, with individual quotas for each country, except for Saudi Arabia, which would adjust its production to support the system. The quota system from this time on has on the whole been a failure. Most countries in OPEC have pumped more oil than allocated, for the simple reason that they want to make more money. Their revenue is tied to oil production. The issue of the Oil Companies being cartels is a complex one. Because not just the companies, but also governments have been involved in trying to organize quotas and stabilize prices. It would take too long to go into all the details here, but the claim by Quigley that: "This world cartel had developed from a tripartite agreement signed on September 17, 1920 by Royal Dutch Shell, Anglo-Iranian, and Standard Oil.These agreed to manage oil prices on the world market by charging an agreed fixed price plus freight costs, and to store surplus oil which might weaken the fixed price level, " Needs to be questioned. In the book "The Prize" by Daniel Yergin, a history of the oil industry, he makes no mention of this agreement. Now if Quigley is correct and Yergin wrong, there is a major problem. This is because in August 1928, the major oil companies had a meeting at Achnacarry Castle in the Scottish Highlands. The purpose of the meeting was to address the problems of over production (hence low prices) and high costs in the industry. After two weeks, a 17 page document, which became known as the "As-Is" agreement was produced, but was NEVER SIGNED. So even though the majors tried to be a cartel at this point, setting market shares and production quotas, it was never ratified and never worked in practice. Throughout the 1930's and 40's, the industry kept trying to get the As-Is agreement to work, but there was too much distrust between the oil companies, and the independent (mainly American) oil companies kept selling oil, regardless of what quotas the majors wanted. Consequently, it appears that Quigley has either got confused or flat-out got it wrong. Likewise the claim about a 1949 agreement is equally dubious, especially as the details given of the participating Oil Companies, contains a number of errors. Enrico Mattei, president of Italian industrial conglomerate ENI, coined the term the seven sisters in the 1950's. The seven sisters included: The Aramco* partners - Exxon (Standard NJ), Mobil (Socony-Vacuum), Chevron (Standard of California), and Texaco, plus Gulf, Royal/Dutch Shell, and BP (Anglo-Iranian). * Aramco (Oil Company of Arabia) was set up in 1948 as the original oil concession in Saudi Arabia. * Gulf Oil was created in 1901 by Richard and Andrew Mellon, with a merger of Gulf Refining and Guffey Petroleum. It was later sold to Chevron in 1984. * Royal/Dutch Shell was created in 1907 with a merger between Shell (UK) and Royal Dutch. It was a 60/40 split, with the majority shareholding being with Royal Dutch. It got the name Royal because William III of Netherlands gave the company his royal approval in 1890. Not because it's owned by the Dutch Royal family. *Texaco was created in 1906 as a brand name for the Texas Fuel Company created by Joseph Cullinan in 1897. The profit comparison given in the article is misleading, because those profit margins vary from market to market, and it also ignores the huge tax take countries other than USA get from oil. In 1975 , for instance, about 45% of what the Western European consumer paid for oil products went to their government, while about 35% was accounted for by the OPEC price. The other 20% went for shipping, refining, dealer's margins, and so forth. In the USA, where the tax rate was only 18%, the share going to the OPEC producer was more on the order of 50%. In Japan, the government took 28%, with 45% going to OPEC. The comments about oil production and ownership are incorrect. During the 1970's the majority of OPEC producers either nationalised or bought out the oil companies' oil concessions. For example, The Kuwaiti Oil Company had been established in 1934 by BP and Gulf. Forty years later, at the beginning of 1974, Kuwait acquired 60%

[CTRL] ISRAELI BANKS KEPT NAZI VICTIMS ASSETS
ISRAELI BANKS KEPT NAZI VICTIMS ASSESTS Israeli banks and institutions kept Nazi victims' assets By Jean Shaoul 23 August 2000 Evidence is emerging from an Israeli parliamentary committee and court action that some of the pillars of the Israeli financial establishment hung on to the assets of Jews who died under the Nazi regime and blocked attempts by the victims' families to seek justice. The committee has recommended an independent audit of at least 12,000 dormant accounts and 5,000 safe deposit boxes at Bank Leumi. During the 1920s and 1930s, Zionist leaders actively sought investment to build up Zionist enterprises and settlements in what was then British-ruled Palestine. European Jews bought plots of land and opened bank accounts in Palestine as a way of contributing to the establishment of a Jewish homeland, preparing for their own or their families' eventual emigration, and later, after Hitler took power, seeking a haven for their savings. No one knows for certain how much was involved. It is believed that some $40 million was deposited in bank accounts and a similar amount invested in land, much of which would now be in prime locations in Haifa and Tel Aviv. Money and other valuables were kept in safe deposits whose whereabouts are unknown. When the Second World War broke out, the British mandate government in Palestine seized the land and bank accounts held by Jews from countries under Nazi rule as enemy property. Most of the money was transferred back to London. Under the settlement with Israel in 1950 , the British government paid back just $1.4 million in compensation for the bank accounts and handed over records of the seized accounts and land to the Israeli government. While some restitution payments were reportedly made, the fate of other accounts and properties is unclear. Shmuel Tsur, the Custodian-General at the Ministry of Justice who manages the unclaimed property, maintains that almost all the confiscated assets were either returned to their owners or handed over to his office. He estimates that 20 percent of the holdings, worth about $90 million, belonged to European Jews killed in the war. Of the list of unclaimed accounts and properties published by his office in 1997, fewer than 10 have been returned after claims to them were confirmed. He used this to justify his assertion that there was no reservoir of money or property hidden away, but was forced to admit under questioning by the parliamentary committee that he could not be sure that he had received full reports from the banks regarding all dormant accounts. "I start from the assumption that the bank reports are correct," he said. He also acknowledged that successive Israeli governments sold many of the plots of land to cover taxes or expropriated them for development or military use. Colette Avital, a member of Prime Minister Ehud Barak's One Israel Party and chair of the parliamentary committee, said that for years there have been lists of property abandoned by its owners, including those who were believed to have perished in the Holocaust. She said the Custodian-General had 4,300 real estate assets, but other groups, such as the Jewish National Fund, also held properties but had refused to publish details until pressed by the hearings of the parliamentary committee. According to Avital, while the banks said they had passed all information about dormant accounts to the custodian-general she was sceptical that full details were given. Avital presented one example of an account from 1940 in which 96,000 lira was deposited. At the time, she said, the money was enough to purchase two apartments on Rehov Allenby, one of the main streets in Tel Aviv. "After 60 years, the Custodian-General is offering to give back NIS [New Israeli Shekels] 285," she said. The sum is equivalent to US$73. Earlier this year, Bank Leumi published on its Internet site a list of accounts that had been inactive since 1955 or earlier. The Jewish National Fund, a land development agency, also published on its site a list of plots sold to Jews before the war that remain unclaimed. Last November, class action suits were brought on behalf of relatives of Holocaust victims against Bank Leumi and the privately owned Israel Land Development Company, set up by the Zionist movement to buy land in Palestine. The families are demanding full disclosure of the accounts and land bought by Jews who perished under the Nazis. Holocaust survivors refrained from such a search for property for years and left the matter for the state to handle, she noted. Avital said that on the official level, bureaucratic inertia had prevented effective action to trace and return the unclaimed assets. "There was a lot of neglect and lack of sensitivity," she said. In a related development, an international panel investigating insurance policies held by Holocaust victims announced last April that it had the names of 19,000 people who were owed money. For decades the issue of the
[CTRL] CHB: Lawsuit Challenges Clinton's National Monument Legacy
Capitol Hill Blue Lawsuit Challenges Clinton's National Monument Legacy Thursday, August 31, 2000 By MICHAEL DOYLE WASHINGTON -- President Clinton's legacy of creating sprawling new national monuments, like the one in California's Sequoia National Forest, is now being challenged on constitutional grounds. Opponents of the new monuments are suing Clinton in federal court in Washington for what they say is his unconstitutionally ambitious use of the 1906 Antiquities Act. Clinton has used the law this year to create the 328,000-acre Giant Sequoia National Monument, the 195,000-acre Hanford Reach National Monument in Washington and others. "The Antiquities Act was written for antiquities," William Perry Pendley, president of the Denver-based Mountain States Legal Foundation, said Thursday. "It was not written to set aside vast expanses of territory because it's pretty or has old trees." A conservative group that's historically received funding from companies including Texaco, Exxon, Chevron and the Coors Foundation, the Mountain States Legal Foundation has previously challenged other monument designations by Clinton. All told, Clinton has used the unilateral powers provided by the 1906 law to designate 3.7 million acres as national monuments. With about five months left in his presidency, this is more than any of his predecessors except President Jimmy Carter. "All of them are worthy of protection," Council on Environmental Quality spokeswoman Mary Hanley said Thursday, adding that "we certainly don't agree" with the thrust of the newly filed suit. The lawsuit specifically targets the Hanford monument and three others established this year in Arizona, Oregon and Colorado. The Giant Sequoia monument established in April is not included in the lawsuit, but San Joaquin Valley opponents of the new monument are closely tracking the latest legal arguments. "We're going to see how that flies," said Fresno resident Tom Barile, chairman of a coalition that's fought the Giant Sequoia monument. "If it doesn't work, then we'll try something else." Barile's group, the Sierra Nevada Access, Multiple-Use and Stewardship Coalition, now claims about 82 organizations as members. Barile said the group's possible own legal challenge to the Giant Sequoia monument might develop over the next several months, based on grounds similar to those included in the new lawsuit. Barile said he is also still waiting for government agencies to respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documents related to the Giant Sequoia monument. The Council on Environmental Quality has likewise not yet provided documents in response to a FOIA request filed by the Bee last March. So far, no legal challenge - or, for the most part, legislative challenge - has succeeded against the 100-plus national monuments created under the 1906 law. The simply worded law authorizes presidents, acting without congressional approval, to protect "objects of historic or scientific interest" by designating national monuments "which in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with ... proper care and management of the objects to be protected." The Mountain States Legal Foundation contends Clinton exceeded his constitutional authority by going far beyond this "smallest area" language in creating large monuments. The core legal question is: When Congress uses such vague words, where does the president's discretion end? A 1920 Supreme Court decision involving the Grand Canyon has persuaded officials since that the president enjoys great leeway in determining a monument's size. Pendley, though, contends Congress has subsequently clarified that a president's environmental actions including Antiquities Act declarations must be more tightly constrained. © 2000 Scripps-McClatchy Western Service = 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] AP: Robert Ray Responds to Critics
Robert Ray Responds to Critics Sep 2, 2000 1:17 AM WASHINGTON (AP) - Independent Counsel Robert Ray says critics are misconstruing his plan to divulge conclusions of the Whitewater investigation just weeks before voters decide whether to elect Hillary Rodham Clinton to the Senate. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and several legal experts said the Independent Counsel statute under which Ray was appointed limits him to filing his soon-to-be-completed report with a federal appeals court, which wouldn't release it until well after Election Day. The criticism came after Ray told The New York Times he would issue a statement of his findings and conclusions in the Whitewater probe a few weeks before New York voters go to the polls. Ray ``is defying the law,'' Levin declared. ``Our plan to make a public statement is not shocking,'' Ray said in a statement. ``This office is not releasing a final report or a portion of a final report without court approval.'' Ray added that the U.S. Attorney's manual expressly authorizes public statements regarding matters that have ``already received substantial publicity.'' But Levin said Ray does not have the authority to release conclusions and that ``Congress was very clear about this precisely to avoid an independent counsel releasing or appearing to release a report for political purposes.'' Customarily, when other independent counsels filed final reports under seal with a special division of the U.S. Court of Appeals, they issued terse statements, devoid of criticism, announcing an end to their investigations. ``I'm surprised'' by what Ray is planning and ``I think Carl Levin is exactly right,'' said George Washington University law professor Stephen Saltzburg. He said it's the court that makes a judgment on what to release. Saltzburg is a former Iran-Contra prosecutor who was a deputy assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's criminal division in the Reagan and Bush administrations. ``If you issue a statement at the same time that you file a report under seal, you are absolutely running roughshod over the spirit'' of the requirement that the report be kept confidential, said Larry Barcella, a former federal prosecutor who has represented Republicans and Democrats in Independent Counsel probes. Georgetown University law professor Paul Rothstein said, ``I think it is wise'' for an Independent Counsel ``to make some kind of statement if it is not accusatory in nature,'' but it's ``another kettle of fish if it's going to be accusatory in any sense. Sometimes these final reports say we're not prosecuting, but we think there's a lot of wrongdoing.'' Ray took Mrs. Clinton and the White House to task in a three-page news release in June announcing the end of his investigation into the firings of White House travel office employees. Ray accused the White House of ``substantial resistance'' to providing ``relevant evidence'' to his investigators and said there was ``substantial evidence'' Mrs. Clinton played a role in the travel office firings. That conflicted with the first lady's sworn statements that she ``had no role'' in the decision. = 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] WND: Selling out justice
September 2, 2000 COMING SUNDAY Selling out justice Geoff Metcalf interviews Clinton impeachment prosecutor David Schippers © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com A lifelong Democrat who voted for Clinton both times, attorney David Schippers was chosen to prosecute President Clinton during the congressional impeachment process. Though the former Chicago prosecutor thought he had seen everything -- treachery, double crosses, sellouts -- what Schippers saw behind the scenes during the impeachment beat them all. What he witnessed --from both sides of the aisle -- compelled him to write "Sellout: The Inside Story of President Clinton's Impeachment," available at WorldNetDaily's online store. In Sunday's edition of WorldNetDaily, staff writer and talk show host Geoff Metcalf interviews Schippers about his explosive book. From Sunday's interview ... David Schippers: The Republican leadership in the Senate cut our legs off right from the beginning. We fully expected to have ourselves at least some kind of a trial, an opportunity to put on our witnesses, an opportunity to show our evidence, not only for the Senate, but for the American people. But right from the beginning, there was just no way they could do it. Q: Who was the GOP senator who said, "You're not going to dump this garbage on us"? A: That was Trent Lott, right after the House had impeached the president on two counts. It was the first meeting with the Republican majority, with the majority leader. It was Trent Lott himself who was to decide what the procedures would be. The House managers and I were higher than a kite. We thought, this is great; we are going to be meeting with the majority leader. He's our friend. We'll find out what the procedures are, how much time we'll have to put on our case. And then, when that line came out, it was like someone had hit everybody in the face with a brick. Q: You say one senator said, "I don't care if you can prove that [Clinton] raped a woman and then stood up and shot her dead ..." A: "... you are not going to get 67 votes." That was Sen. Stevens from Alaska. My assistant and I were both sitting on the couch at the back of the room and, when that came out, I looked at him and he just looked at me as if to say, "Are we really hearing this?"

[CTRL] Chelsea risks all for taste of the limelight
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Chelsea risks all for taste of the limelight Tom Rhodes, New York THE first sighting of the new Chelsea Clinton was three months ago during a state visit to Washington by Morocco's King Mohammed VI. Accompanying her father from the west wing of the White House, she strode confidently down the red carpet and placed a hand on the back of Princess Lalla, gently guiding the king's sister towards Madeleine Albright, the secretary of state. It was the first time the 20-year-old Stanford University student had stood in for her mother, Hillary, at an official function. She displayed all the charm of a skilled hostess, mingling with officials and discussing bilateral relations with the ease of a foreign policy veteran. Chelsea clearly enjoyed the experience. After a series of public appearances at her father's side, however, her prominent role as inseparable presidential escort is beginning to prompt questions in Washington about the level of her security clearance and access to confidential information. "She's clearly a bright, well-adjusted young woman," said one Republican consultant last week. "But she seems to be getting far more access than most first daughters." Chelsea has done much more than merely deliberate the burning issues of American foreign policy: she has been present for every big decision the president has made since June. Last Wednesday, for example, she chatted amiably to Albright and Sandy Berger, the national security adviser, as part of a small team accompanying Clinton on a one-day visit to Cartagena to push America's $1.3 billion anti-drugs package to Colombia. The previous week she huddled with Berger and other top aides during the presidential visit to Nigeria. Reports, strenuously denied by an embarrassed White House, even had her playing an active role in American efforts to stop fighting between the Tutsi-dominated government and Hutu rebels in Burundi. During the long flight to Africa she was said to have helped craft her father's speech to a joint session of the Nigerian assembly. Only a month earlier, Israeli officials reportedly complained of impropriety during the critical, top-secret Middle East peace talks at Camp David when Chelsea was said to have monopolised dinner conversation with Ehud Barak, the Israeli leader. There is more to come. Chelsea is expected to represent her father at the Olympic Games in Sydney and will probably accompany him on a trip to Vietnam before the end of his presidency. Since 1992, when America first encountered the gawky 12-year-old with wild curls and unflattering braces, Chelsea has remained a visible but remote figure. Appearing only in times of crisis - she acted as public glue between her parents during the Monica Lewinsky affair - or to support her father's campaigns for the presidency, her privacy has been zealously guarded. The White House - which strenuously denies that Chelsea plays any part in policy-making - says her decision to abandon university for a term to assist her mother's campaign and take a front seat during the last days of her father's tenure, came earlier this year. "She woke up one day and realised, 'I'm missing all this,' " said one aide last week. It is thought to have coincided with another new resolve; her apparent intention to follow in her father's footsteps to Oxford and study history and politics as a Rhodes scholar next year. In between forays into foreign affairs and her future academic career, Chelsea is devoting her efforts to her mother's beleaguered Senate campaign against Rick Lazio, her Republican opponent. Armed with a wardrobe of severely tailored suits, pink nail varnish and scarlet lipstick, she is already proving to be a formidable weapon in her mother's arsenal. Democrats hope Chelsea, who is popular among white suburban housewives otherwise unexcited by her mother's candidacy, will play a more prominent role as the November election approaches. "She's not going to overexpose herself and have criticism that her parents are exploiting her," said Letitia Baldrige, a former White House social secretary. "But her appearance can be terribly helpful to Hillary. It warms her up in the public eye." If Chelsea takes more than a supporting role in her mother's campaign, or spends too much time taking notes in the Oval Office, she is likely to become a fair target for criticism. Thus far, the most notable assault against the first daughter has been a report that Chelsea, once a health-conscious ballet fanatic, was seen smoking a cigarette in a Washington restaurant. "Anybody who attacks Chelsea is a fool," said Dane Strother, a Democratic political consultant. "It's a fundamental law: you don't attack someone's children, however old they are." As students of American politics are only too aware, however, the Clintons have broken every rule in the book; their opponents may decide to do the same. *COPYRIGHT

[CTRL] Selling out justice
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! SUNDAY QA Selling out justice Geoff Metcalf interviews Clinton impeachment prosecutor David Schippers -- -- By Geoff Metcalf © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com A lifelong Democrat who voted for Clinton both times, attorney David Schippers was chosen to prosecute President Clinton during the congressional impeachment process. Though the former Chicago prosecutor thought he had seen everything -- treachery, double crosses, sellouts -- what Schippers saw behind the scenes during the impeachment beat them all. What he witnessed --from both sides of the aisle -- compelled him to write "Sellout: The Inside Story of President Clinton's Impeachment," available at WorldNetDaily's online store. WorldNetDaily staff writer and talk show host Geoff Metcalf recently interviewed Schippers about his explosive new book. Metcalf's radio show can be heard on TalkNetDaily weekdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time. -- -- Question: I thought I knew everything bad that went on in the impeachment. I knew it was a lot more form than substance, but it had to be beyond frustrating for you. Answer: It was. It was really terrible. I was a citizen coming out of Chicago who really had no political experience whatsoever, but I happened to find myself right in the middle of what they were doing, just kind of watching how the Senate and House of Representatives operates when nobody is looking. Q: This really wasn't a partisan thing, one way or the other. Far from being a witch-hunt by the Republicans, it was more of a GOP soft-pedaled dog and pony show. A: The Republican leadership in the Senate cut our legs off right from the beginning. We fully expected to have ourselves at least some kind of a trial, an opportunity to put on our witnesses, an opportunity to show our evidence, not only for the Senate, but for the American people. But, right from the beginning, there was just no way they could do it. Q: Who was the GOP senator who said, "You're not going to dump this garbage on us"? I thought that was their job? A: That was Trent Lott, right after the House had impeached the president on two counts. It was the first meeting with the Republican majority, with the majority leader. It was Trent Lott himself who was to decide what the procedures would be. The House managers and I were higher than a kite. We thought: this is great; we are going to be meeting with the majority leader. He's our friend. We'll find out what the procedures are, how much time we'll have to put on our case. And then when that line came out, it was like someone had hit everybody in the face with a brick. Q: You say one senator said, "I don't care if you can prove that [Clinton] raped a woman and then stood up and shot her dead ..." A: "... you are not going to get 67 votes." That was Sen. Stevens from Alaska. My assistant and I were both sitting on the couch at the back of the room and, when that came out, I looked at him and he just looked at me as if to say, "Are we really hearing this?" This was either the next day or two days after they all took that oath "to do equal and impartial justice." Q: There was such an abundance of damning, compelling evidence against him, beyond the abuse of power under the color of authority and perjury. How many people just didn't even want to look at, say, the Juanita Broaddrick evidence? A: The Juanita Broaddrick evidence was a little bit different because we had no intention of putting that in as part of the impeachment evidence. The evidence we had seen so far had shown that she was in no way influenced by the White House to lie. So that was off the table in the Senate. But there was all kinds of other evidence -- all kinds of stuff showing a massive conspiracy to obstruct justice and to use any means necessary to do so. I'll tell you what happened. In the House -- let's start with the committee itself: of the 16 Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee whose job it was to determine whether or not there was sufficient evidence to have an inquiry -- and remember, all 16 voted against the inquiry -- five never went near the evidence. Five never looked at one word of evidence. In the House itself, we had about 65 members come over -- and they were all members of the Republican majority. In the Senate -- nobody! Not one senator. Not one staffer. We had one Republican senator say, "Why should we be wasting our time reading this stuff when you've already read it?" Well, hey there, how about if you're a juror? Q: It is also compounded because they didn't allow you to submit any evidence. A: That's right! They didn't allow us to put any evidence in. And then Sen. Specter comes out and votes, "Not proved." Well how the heck are you going to prove a case if they're not going to let

MAJORITY OF MKS SIGN ON BARAK-BLOCKING BILL PM MOVING AHEAD WITH NEW SECULAR REFORMS CNN'S BIAS TOWARD ISRAEL CHICAGO TRIBUNE OP-ED BY JAMES RON CONTAINS SERIOUS ERRORS THIS WEEK IN JEWISH HISTORY ** NOTICE ** Redemption In The End-Times Prophecy Conference THREE SOLDIERS KILLED IN BOTCHED ARREST: In what was described by Israel's top general as a "serious operational blunder," three IDF (Israel Defense Force) soldiers with the special Duvdevan anti-terrorist unit were killed by suspected "friendly fire" late Saturday night (26 August) in a fumbled attempt to capture Israel's most wanted Hamas terrorist, Mahmoud Abu Hanoud, in his home village near Shechem. Abu Hanoud, a fugitive from justice for several years, is charged with masterminding Hamas suicide bombings at the crowded Mahane Yehuda market and popular Ben Yehuda pedestrian mall in Jerusalem in the summer of 1997, which killed 21 and wounded dozens more, as well as other terrorist attacks. Israeli security learned that he had returned to his home village of Atzira Shamali near Shechem recently, and tracked him down at the home of fellow Hamas member Nidal Daglas. About 100 elite Israeli troops surrounded the house at about 10:00 p.m. Saturday evening, but Abu Hanoud and Daglas detected their movements and struck first, throwing a grenade and firing at the Israeli units. In the ensuing confusion, Israeli soldiers apparently mistook their own forces assigned to a nearby rooftop as terrorists and opened fire on them, killing three IDF troops. Although he took two bullets in the shoulder and back, Abu Hanoud managed to slip away in the darkness, wounded and bleeding. Evading helicopters with search lights and ground units, he made it through heavy brush to a Palestinian checkpoint near Shechem, where he surrendered to the PLO before dawn Sunday. Abu Hanoud later was treated at a Shechem hospital under heavy guard. Daglas was wounded and captured by the IDF, and his home was swiftly leveled, after the army reportedly found four tons of chemicals used in the manufacture of bombs there. Israeli security forces also arrested four men from the same village, a hotbed of Hamas activists and still under Israeli security control. Meanwhile a fourth Duvdevan soldier was moderately wounded by other IDF soldiers while in hot pursuit of Abu Hanoud. IDF Chief of Staff Lt-Gen Shaul Mofaz on Thursday canceled a planned afternoon press conference during which he was to announce the findings of the inquiry. Mofaz presented the report to Prime Minister/Defense Minister Ehud Barak, as well as to the parents of the soldiers who were killed. Mofaz called upon OC Central Command and the investigators to respond to several points that he felt needed additional investigation and clarification, thereby deciding to delay his press conference until the inquiry was complete. Mofaz did state with certainty at this point that the three combatants of the elite Duvdevan unit were killed by mistaken fire, and a fourth soldier was seriously wounded. TERRORIST 'SENTENCED' BY PLO, HAILED AS A HERO: Abu Hanoud was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment on Friday after a PLO court in Gaza found him guilty of "forming military cells and arming them". During the trial the judge told Abu Hanoud the court did not want to try him for acts "against the other side". The PLO has a "revolving door" policy for most of the terrorists it has sentenced, later releasing them usually to serve in the PLO security forces. Although Barak has stated that he will 'eventually' ask for Abu Hanoud to be turned over to Israeli authorities, the PLO has said it has no intentions of doing so. Hamas strongly criticized the sentencing and said it did not recognize the court's authority. Hamas official Ismail Abu Shanab told AFP that Arafat had made a "serious mistake" and that Abu Hanoud is a "national hero and symbol for all Palestinians," adding that it was "his judges who should be sentenced." The spokesman for Hamas abroad, Ibrahim Ghosheh, also condemned the court's verdict in a telephone call to AFP
[CTRL] UPDATE - Michael New Case
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! New's Letter -- news and opinion from the desk of Daniel D. New, Project Manager of the Michael New Action Fund Opinions here are those of Daniel New, and most of his readers. Some may disagree, which is their Constitutional right. Polite disagreement is welcome, while rude disagreement will be ignored.) Dear Team, We think daily about the huge number of patriotic Americans out there who are watching, waiting for justice in the case of Army Specialist Michael New. Some learned of the case a few weeks ago, but many of you have been waiting, praying, writing letters and making phone calls since the court-martial of January, 1996. Some have been with us even longer than that. If there is no other theme that this case emphasizes, regardless of how a person feels about whether Mike was right or not, it is this: Justice delayed is justice denied! The Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces (CAAF) has ended its session of hearing oral arguments for the year 2000, and will be releasing its final decisions within the next few weeks. From February 4 to September 4 is seven months. Over 270 days to rule on a decision that could have been ruled on in 7 days. And frankly, their decision, either way, is of little interest to us. What is of interest is that they must rule! The delays appear to all to be a politically motivated cover-up to protect the current administration -- a charge that ought to make them cringe, but appears to not concern them. If we win in this court, we'll be happy to announce to the world that the court-martial was nothing less than a Kangaroo Court. But all a win will accomplish is to prove that the original court-martial was flawed because the judge did not allow a defendent to present evidence to defend himself. Looks pretty open and shut to most observers, and I predict that we will win at this level. The problem with this scenario is that the Army then has to decide what to do next, and they have a long list of options. It almost doesn't matter what they do, you can bet they will continue to delay justice and buy time for the dishonorable occupant of the White House. The price tag on this continued defense is difficult to ascertain, but no doubt exceed $100,000. If we lose at this court, we'll be happy to announce that now the "military remedy" has been virtually exhausted and that we will be filing a petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court, asking them to review the case. (They don't have to accept it.) The price tag on this scenario has been estimated at $75,000 by our very conservative lead attorney and Constitutional scholar, Dr. Herb Titus. Did you ever go to the Supreme Court on anything? If you have, you will know that his estimate is about 33% the going rate. That's because he works for a fraction of the price of big-name lawyers, and some of his work and of others on the Team is pro bono. The point here is that we are going to have to plan to raise more money for the next round, and perhaps we should thank the system for going so slow -- it has made it possible for us to keep the pace by having the funds come in as we need them. If they had acted quickly, they would have broken us. But by delaying justice, they also gave you time to send your $5 and $20 and $50. We will never be able to adequately thank all those who have made this possible, but we do thank God for you daily. Contributions may be sent directly or indirectly to us. The official address of the fund raising company that we employ is in Fairfax, Virginia, as many of you have asked if that address is really us. It is, but you may also send directly to us by making cheques to: Michael New Action Fund and sending them to the address below. Michael New Action Fund P.O. Box 100 Iredell, Texas 76649 We've done our best to keep our appeals for funds to a minimum on the internet, but also think it appropriate that we let you know when there is a need. Well, there is going to be a need within less than a month, one way or the other. If CAAF does not release a decision within three weeks, we are going to mount a letter-writing campaign using the theme, "Jusice delayed is Justice denied." This will be the second time we have done this, and it appears to have worked the last time. The Army Court of Criminal Appeals released the case just days after we announced the incoming results of our petition drive to Speaker Dennis Hastert. It appears that publicity does more than anything else to shake the system loose. Sad, but true. In the meantime, we ask each of you to pay close attention to what comes out of the United Nations Millenium Summit in New York City this coming week. The formal declarations for stiffening up the imposition of global taxation, global court systems, and global enforcement through a one world army are going to make tremendous advancements this
[CTRL] MILITARY IS OVERPAID
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! MILITARY IS OVERPAID On 12 Jan, Ms. Cindy Williams wrote a piece for the WashingtonTimes denouncing the pay raise(s) coming service members way this year, citing that the stated 13% wage gap was bogus. A young airman from Hill AFB responds to her article below. He ought to get a bonus for this. Ms. Williams: I just had the pleasure of reading your column of 12 Jan 00, "Our GIs Earn Enough," and I am a bit confused. Frankly, I'm wondering where this vaunted overpayment is going, because as far as I can tell, it disappears every month between DFAS (The Defense Finance and Accounting Service) and my bank account. Checking my latest leave and earnings statement (LES), I see that I make $1,117.80, before taxes. After taxes, I take home $874.20. When I run that through Windows Calculator, I come up with an annual salary of $13,413.60 before taxes, and $10,490.40 after. I work in the Air Force Network Control Center (AFNCC), where I am part of the team responsible for the administration of a 25,000 host computer network. I am involved with infrastructure segement, specifically with Cisco Systems equipment. A quick check of http://www.monster.com under jobs for Network Technicians in the Washington, D.C. area reveals a position in my career field, requiring three years experience with my job. Amazingly, this job does NOT pay $13,413.60 a year, nor does it pay less than this. No, this job is being offered at $70,000 to $80,000 per annum. I'm sure you can draw the obvious conclusions. Also, you tout increases to Basic Allowance for Housing and Basic Allowance for Sustenance (housing and food allowances, respectively) as being a further boon to an already-overcompensated force. Again, I'm curious as to where this money has gone, as BAH and BAS were both slashed 15% in the Hill AFB area effective in January 00. Given the tenor of your column, I would assume that you have never had the pleasure of serving your country in her armed forces. Before you take it upon yourself to once more castigate congressional and DOD leadership for attempting to get the families in the military's lowest pay brackets off AFDC, WIC, and food stamps, I suggest that you join a group of deploying soldiers headed for Saudi. I leave the choice of service branch up to you. Whatever choice you make, though, opt for the six-month rotation: It will guarantee you the longest possible time away from your family and friends, thus give you the full "deployment experience." As your group prepares to board the plane, make sure to note the spouses and children who are saying goodbye to their loved ones. Also take care to note that several families are still unsure of how they'll be able to make ends meet while the primary breadwinner is gone. Obviously, they've been squandering the vast piles of cash the DoD has been giving them. Try to deploy over a major holiday; Christmas and Thanksgiving are perennial favorites. And when you're actually over there, sitting in a DFP (Defensive Fire Position, the modern-day foxhole), shivering against the cold desert night, and the flight sergeant tells you that there aren't enough people on shift to relieve you for chow, remember this: Trade whatever MRE you manage to get for the tuna noodle casserole or cheese tortellini, and add Tabasco to everything. Talk to your loved ones as often as you are permitted; it won't nearly be long enough or often enough, but take what you can get and be thankful for it. You may have picked up on the fact that I disagree with most of the points you present in your op-ed piece. But, to borrow from Voltaire, I will defend to the death your right to say it. You see, I am an American fighting man, a guarantor of your First Amendment rights and every other right you cherish. On a daily basis, my brother and sister soldiers worldwide ensure that you and people like you can thumb your collective nose at us, all on a salary that is nothing short of pitiful and under conditions that would make most people cringe. We hemorrhage our best and brightest into the private sector because we can't offer the stability and pay of civilian companies. And you, Ms. Williams, have the gall to say that we make more than we deserve? Rubbish. A1C Michael Bragg Hill AFB AFNCC _ If Airman Bragg makes $10, 490.00 per year (after
[CTRL] Paul Harvey on Guns
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Paul Harvey on Guns Paul Harvey's comment on Columbine High shootings: How can we blame it all on guns? For the life of me, I can't understand what could have gone wrong in Littleton, CO. If only the parents had kept their children away from the guns, we wouldn't have had such a tragedy. Yeah, it must have been the guns. It couldn't have been because half our children are being raised in broken homes. It couldn't have been because our children get to spend an average of 30 seconds in meaningful conversation with their parents each day. After all, we give our children quality time. It couldn't have been because we treat our children as pets and our pets as children. It couldn't have been because we place our children in day care centers where they learn their socialization skills among their peers under the law of the jungle while employees who have no vested interest in the children look on and make sure that no blood is spilled. It couldn't have been because we allow our children to watch, on the average, seven hours of television a day filled with the glorification of sex and violence that isn't fit for adult consumption. It couldn't have been because we allow our children to enter into virtual worlds in which, to win the game, one must kill as many opponents as possible in the most sadistic way possible. It couldn't have been because we have sterilized and contracepted our families down to sizes so small that the children we do have are so spoiled with material things that they come to equate the receiving of the material with love. It couldn't have been because our children, who historically have been seen as a blessing from God, are now being viewed as either a mistake created when contraception fails or inconveniences that parents try to raise in their spare time. It couldn't have been because we give two-year prison sentences to teenagers who kill their newborns. It couldn't have been because our school systems teach the children that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized out of some primordial soup of mud by teaching evolution as fact and by handing out condoms as if they were candy. It couldn't have been because we teach our children that there are no laws of morality that transcend us, that everything is relative and that actions don't have consequences. What the heck, the president gets away with it. Nah, it must have been the guns. - Paul Harvey *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

Re: [CTRL] Chelsea risks all for taste of the limelight
Well Bill, little Chelsie may have all the charm of a White House Hostess, but her mother has all the charm and grace of the White House Madam.. This was in a sense as Clinton said, the only home Chelsie ever really had. Yet with all this cute charm and grace, and the Call Me Madam routines..I still remember this sweet little girl and her parents referring to their Secret Service as pigs..the ones who would someday maybe stand between them and a bullet from unfriendly fire. These tenants in our White House - these transients be they good or bad, all leave a mark. Chelsie is like her mother - but seems to be so loyal to her poor, maligned, misguided missile of a father. Wonder what the new kid on the block will be like when the time comes, if we ever get rid of that bunch. And no more Bates Motel in the White House.for Hill and Bill made it a house of horors at times but all in all, did he really do that good of a job in office when well this is September, and the scales - is he being weighted and found wanting, as September goes to November, where there is always an archer in the wings ready to take deadly aim - but thank heavens for the ballot?

[CTRL] Fwd: THE SCOOP -- what happened
The Scoop - http://www.bobharris.com/ Hi folks -- This isn't an article, but an explanation of where I disappeared to for the last few weeks, and where I might be disappearing to for a while to come. ___ First, thanks to the dozens of you who wrote letters of concern for my welfare. No, the LAPD didn't haul me away, and I never did catch a rubber bullet. Not that I mind. I also appreciate the many kind notes regarding my convention coverage. Thank you very much for those. What happened was this: I resigned my gig as morning host for Working Assets' RadioForChange.com. They're the folks who got me convention credentials. The end of my print coverage was the result of my decision to end that relationship, and, frankly, the attendant disillusionment with what I was doing. (I didn't just walk and leave them with dead air, incidentally. I finished out that week and the one following, interviewing all the guests that had been booked while doing the shows from home. I understand they're still airing repeats of my program until they find a replacement.) I thought long and hard about whether or not I should make my reasons for resigning fully public. On reflection, I choose not to. Please don't write and ask. I won't go into details. I still consider the stated goals of KWAB and Working Assets to be worthwhile, and it remains my earnest hope that they will eventually be fulfilled. My concerns have been voiced within the company in every appropriate fashion, and I see no benefit in airing them further. That said, my reasons for resigning could not have been more obvious or unavoidable, and while I wish things might have worked out differently, I am certain that I did the right thing. ___ There's a saying that when one door closes, another one opens. I made my decision to quit Working Assets Broadcasting while driving to a screening of Steal This Movie, the most excellent Abbie Hoffman biopic. Less than two hours after making my decision, I ran into the Program Director for KPFK, Pacifica Radio in Los Angeles. Their morning slot is currently in flux, and we exchanged business cards. Whether or not that relationship develops further -- and I'm not exactly eager to keep getting up at 5 am -- the universe certainly seemed to be encouraging me to consider my options. ___ Other doors are indeed opening. My subversive little game show, Twisted, is being shepherded through the development process by people who know what they're doing. The first phase is an Internet version, debuting soon for a 10-episode run on a major website which specializes in selling projects through to television. As host, co-creator, and head writer, a pending TV deal would be a major opportunity. This is also fun: my friend Dan Perkins (aka Tom Tomorrow), creator of This Modern World -- my favorite political comic strip -- is now doing an animated version for a similar Internet/TV development model. I'm doing the voice of Sparky, the ascerbic little penguin in wraparound sunglasses. There's other stuff going on, but here's the point: I realize that part of considering my options includes reconsidering how much of my life I want to spend on these columns. I'm not sure how frequently I'll continue to write. While I enjoy the process, and I'm glad you guys mostly like the results, there are only 24 hours in a day, and doing these means not doing a lot of other things. I may go back to adapting radio commentaries into columns every two weeks; more likely, I may want to take a sabbatical for a few months or longer. I'll probably get back to a regular column before long -- I wouldn't do something for seven years if I didn't mostly enjoy it, honest -- but I have a screenplays burning a hole in my brain, there's music in my head that needs to get out, and so on. It's time for some of that to happen. There have also been some personal developments (mostly good ones, a few more difficult) that require my attention. Again. Those, of course, are personal. On a professional level, though, what happened with Working Assets left me feeling burned out and disillusioned with the political commenting deal, and there are just too many other things calling me right now. (Heck, maybe I'll even update my website!) Anyhow, taking some time off to pursue other things is really attractive right now. So if you don't receive anything for a while, that's the deal. Thanks for understanding. ___ One last note as to the convention coverage itself: my intention was always to write approximately equal amounts of coverage of both major political conventions; I also intended to write separate installments covering both the Green and Reform party conventions, which were at least as interesting and full of amusing absurdities. I'm still delighted by the lunatic button I picked up from the Buchananites calling for the military

Well Involuntary cannot match that for a vivid picture; and I say this for the mob, at least they are honest about it. The hirelings always go to jail for the rich. I had a relative who was a banker and this old man in the bank stole a lot of money.he went to jail for him, came out, was restored to his position for everyone knew him to be an honest man and that guy who owned the bank, the big crook - but he was old and Forrest always liked the guy. One thing, sometimes it takes a crook to catch a crook - maybe that old like by hook or crook, we get them all in the end for I still believe in the ballot box and not the - well praise the Lord, but hang on to your ammunition.

[CTRL] Fwd: News-media confirmed as possible CIA spies (disinfo artists)
http://mprofaca.cro.net/ciapress1.html (much more onsite) WASHINGTON (AP) - Disclosure that the CIA retains authority to recruit U.S. journalists for covert operations is drawing protests from the news media and demands that the practice be banned. "It puts our people in jeopardy," says Tom Johnson, president of CNN. CIA Director John Deutch acknowledged last week that he has the right to waive 1977 rules that forbid assigning spies disguised as reporters, or enlisting reporters to serve as spies. Deutch commented after The Washington Post quoted an unidentified intelligence official as saying the CIA occasionally has waived the rules, which also apply to religious and Peace Corps workers. Deutch would not confirm the newspaper report, but he was likely to be asked about the practice today while appearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. -- Kathleen Of all the forms of murder, none is more monstrous than that committed by a state against its own citizens . . . - Forensic Anthropologist Clyde Snow A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Paul Harvey on Guns
I made this guy's show twice in my life - he seemed to understand me. He did not mention my name, but the city in which I lived and what I had done..I had taken a chance and he gave me some credibility but just knowing here was a man who understood why I did what I did. He has capusled it all nicely - but I am still looking for these kids who like Charles Manson had to have a programmer - Manson's father, was an alleged "Colonel".Colonel of what? He was in love with war and seemed to have a Rommel complexnow Rommel, the Desert Fox was something right out of the old Testament and George Patton, a Mason too and he was a brother to Rommel - knew it. This Rommel, Manson used to play desert fox in his dune buggy - but he was no Rommel. Rommel was a German Officer, not a Nazi.the Nazis were a political party were they not? Should America be judged by our President - you better believe it. The President is supposed to symbolize the Amrican people and set an honorable example for our kids.Littleton? Who had their hooks in those two kids - it is obvious, they were "key experiments" run amuck - in love with death and drugs, they even taught kids at that age who had everything for which to live, classes in death. They taught these kids, these sick perverted twisted animals, that homosexuality was okay when it is not acceptable - they saw babies butchered before they were given a breath of life - life is cheap? Well not for the Clintons and some of these people..they live in this beautiful estate and we pick up all their bills for food, clothes, shelter, vacationsand they still call the police and secret service "pigs". Well.don't blame Littleton on Hitler, as the news media tried to do - neo nazis, they wrote until itwas discovered little Klebold was a jew and his family and grandfather big time philantrophist with mob connections. Sowho is to blame for two kids, killing their classmates.something evil this way cometh, and something evil transpired of which we do not know. Suggest they contact a K 9 controller and trainer..for with a look, a signal, an unspoken word or a spoken word - you can kill with the blink of an eye or in a twinking of an evil eye. Charles Manson knew this - but who was his teacher? His mentor.he worked for the mob. The voice still calls "Give Us Barabas" - and GIVE Us Manson, and Give us John Gotti. For heavens sake release John Gotti and turn him loose in his country for the streets were a lot safer when he was aroundgo get that guy who admitted to murdering 19 people on the witness stand and they sent Gotti to jail and set the admitted killer free - you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free? I think there is a chance the Manson with the twinkling of an eye could have called for the death of even little JonBenet..for there is a connection there...so many evil people roaming the streets and to me, as of late, has anythiang good come out of Colorado - one of te most secretive of states in the USAhome of Air Force Academy, and all that secret stuff. Manson with children of men who were engaged in top secret stuff in his cult? Ramsey was engaged in stuff that could be classified as top secretand hs little girl, a Beauty Queenlike Sharon Tate, Beauty and Queen - and remember Manson's little girl code named Queen of South? Charles Manson murdered timed to Murder Calendarhe was just a stupid and shot little ugly man who had someone else do his dirty work for him, and the fact that he chummed with President Jmmy Carter's nephew in prison..well, Paul Harvey sees how kids can be manipulated into such things..Littleton, big link to what is wrong with America - for it is the iniquities of the father's being visited upon the childrenbible style, planned - but by whom? If we loosed the chains and released the prisoners would it all stop.Lucky Luciano downed a navy destroyer while in prison, Al Capone may have engineered the Lindburg baby kidnapping..and John Gotti? Well you know before the World Trade Center was blow up, a dead contractor had been found in basement and boy, they thought the boogie man John Gotti did that one, and the boggie man Osama bin Laden like Gotti his hand is blamed to be in all cookie jars. Wrong people going to jailget the architect - and it ws not John Gotti or Osama bin Laden who blew up Oklahoma - or was it? Only Morris Dees who told the FBI and BATF and a Judge to stay home that day knows for sure...and Dees is spending a lot of money now making movies, of himself and portrays himself as a good Christian boy close to his daughter..and according to his wife, Dees got a little too close. so Paul Harvey is my hero - a moral man who survived with the truthhad he been a dishonest man, he would be on MSNBC or CNN make a boodle. Long Live Osama bin Laden the Boogie Man - for who would we blame all this
Re: [CTRL] Crowley biography

Drugs when they complete their victory, take over the soul having long taken the body.but Crowley's rituals were hanky panky but he had the masons mad for they thought he was stealing their stuff, when he was getting it on his own having reached an enlightened state when a small child, I guess. But wouldn't you know, he died and people thought he was a Nazi when he was British Intelligence. Once he was a handsome man I understand...and that temple in Siciliy must have been something else. Like Old Hells Fire Club nobody knows for sure, and you sometimes see more in an old engraving than you do find in a history book. The book I had was so big and I did noto have time to read it all, but I too misjudged Crowley for I thought he was a satanist - he was not. He was brilliant, mountain climber, chess player - but had he smoked a pipe, I would not have trusted him. Books like he wrote are often a spies bread and butter.and anything goes, so long as you cloaka the truth in mysticism or black magiclike the old black pullet from the east whom you call from within a circle of friends, and he will do murder for you...Sirhan Sirhan, new what that meant.

[CTRL] Tests show Gulf war victims have uranium poisoning
Why did the US Military fight the Gulf War? To save lovely democratic Kuwait from the New Hitler Sadam Hussein right? That is what we were told. When the too few war protesters shouted that this was an oil war, George Bush, a big time oil man, swore on his mother's eyes that it was not. So did Dick Cheney the secretary of defense. Today, no one bothers to deny that US military personnel went to the Gulf to fight an oil war. But the US tricked Hussein into attacking Kuwait. April Glaspie, a State Dept. official, told Saddam that the US was not interested in Arab squabbles and would not interfere in them. Saddam took this as a green light from the people who armed and supported him in his eight year war against Iran. Why did we give Saddam the OK to attack Kuwait? Prior to the Gulf War the US was simply not allowed to establish military bases in our puppet kingdoms in the Gulf. The Arab citizens of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the others hate America and the Royal Puppets that we keep in place there who are PARTNERS with Exxon, BP, and Shell Oil. But if our Puppets allowed American bases on Islamic soil, especially the holy soil of Arabia, they would face revolution and beheading. As pleasant as this possibility might seem, the Royal Puppets are in constant fear of losing their positions, and the positions of their crania as they are currently situated. Now that the cold war was over and the other Evil Empire collapsed, there was no longer an external threat to Big Oil's control over that part of the world. But there was still the INTERNAL threat to the shaky regimes we keep there. The threat of a mass Islamic revolution on the Arabian Peninsula is real and constant. It became imperative to establish military bases on Islamic soil in the Gulf to protect Big oil from being " nationalized " by any Islamic revolution. Saddam gave the State Department the opportunity, by becoming a " threat " in the region. We sent American military personnel to Arabia to defend them from the evil Saddam. But we needed a place for them to stay didn't we? So we set up " temporary " bases. For the first time, the was an Infidel military presence on holy soil. But it was acceptable because of the perceived threat. THOSE BASES ARE STILL THERE TODAY. This is why we did not outrightly defeat and remove Saddam. He is more useful as a threat and an excuse to keep bases in the region. The Middle East's oil drives the EUROPEAN and JAPANESE economies. NOT the American economy. We were never at serious risk if the Gulf Oil Tap was shut off to us. We only get about 20% of Gulf oil. We get our oil from Venezuela, and other places around the world. I repeat. WE WERE NOT AT RISK. We sacrificed our military to protect the status quo in Europe and Japan. North America, Europe, and Japan are the Tri-Lateral pillars of the New World Economic Order. They are the foundation economies of the pre-natal World Economy. If THEY are dependent on Mid East oil, then, our internationalist elites reckon that is a good enough reason to put our soldiers at risk. THE US MILITARY ARE THE MODERN DAY HESSIANS FOR TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS. Our military leaders take orders from our civilian government. Our civilian government works for the Transnationals. PARTICULARLY BIG OIL. The two primary presidential candidates ARE OIL MEN. Are you prepared to let you sons and daughters die for EXXON, and OCCIDENTAL? Joshua2 === http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2000/09/03/stifgnnws02001.html Sunday Times (UK) - September 3 2000 Tests show Gulf war victims have uranium poisoning Jonathon Carr-Brown and Martin Meissonnier NEW evidence that Gulf war syndrome exists and was caused by radiation poisoning will be revealed today by a former American army colonel who was at the centre of his government's attempts to diagnose the illness. Dr Asaf Durakovic will tell a conference of eminent nuclear scientists in Paris that "tens of thousands" of British and American soldiers are dying from radiation from depleted uranium (DU) shells fired during the Gulf war. The findings will undermine the British and American governments' claims that Gulf war syndrome does not exist and intensify pressure from veterans on both sides of the Atlantic for compensation. Durakovic, who is professor of nuclear medicine at Georgetown University, Washington, and the former head of nuclear medicine at the US Army's veterans' affairs medical facility in Delaware, will tell the conference that he and his team of American and Canadian scientists have discovered life-threateningly high levels of DU in Gulf veterans 10 years after the desert war. His findings, which have been verified by four independent experts, is embarrassing for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and American Defence Department, which have consistently refused to test Gulf war veterans for DU. Durakovic will tell the European Association of

[CTRL] Green Plastics
From http://www.sciam.com/2000/0800issue/0800gerngross.html }}Begin Tillman U. Gerngross and Steven C. Slater ... SUBTOPICS: The Problem: Energy and Emissions The Answer: Renewable Energy SIDEBARS: Production And Energy Demands Green Plastic Get Practical Driving down a dusty gravel road in central Iowa, a farmer gazes toward the horizon at rows of tall, leafy corn plants shuddering in the breeze as far as the eye can see. The farmer smiles to himself, because he knows something about his crop that few people realize. Not only are kernels of corn growing in the ears, but granules of plastic are sprouting in the stalks and leaves. This idyllic notion of growing plastic, achievable in the foreseeable future, seems vastly more appealing than manufacturing plastic in petrochemical factories, which consume about 270 million tons of oil and gas every year worldwide. Fossil fuels provide both the power and the raw materials that transform crude oil into common plastics such as polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene. From milk jugs and soda bottles to clothing and car parts, it is difficult to imagine everyday life without plastics, but the sustainability of their production has increasingly been called into question. Known global reserves of oil are expected to run dry in approximately 80 years, natural gas in 70 years and coal in 700 years, but the economic impact of their depletion could hit much sooner. As the resources diminish, prices will go up--a reality that has not escaped the attention of policymakers. President Bill Clinton issued an executive order in August 1999 insisting that researchers work toward replacing fossil resources with plant material both as fuel and as raw material. With those concerns in mind, biochemical engineers, including the two of us, were delighted by the discovery of how to grow plastic in plants. On the surface, this technological breakthrough seemed to be the final answer to the sustainability question, because this plant-based plastic would be "green" in two ways: it would be made from a renewable resource, and it would eventually break down, or biodegrade, upon disposal. Other types of plastics, also made from plants, hold similar appeal. Recent research, however, has raised doubts about the utility of these approaches. For one, biodegradability has a hidden cost: the biological breakdown of plastics releases carbon dioxide and methane, heat-trapping greenhouse gases that international efforts currently aim to reduce. What is more, fossil fuels would still be needed to power the process that extracts the plastic from the plants, an energy requirement that we discovered is much greater than anyone had thought. Successfully making green plastics depends on whether researchers can overcome these energy-consumption obstacles economically--and without creating additional environmental burdens. Traditional manufacturing of plastics uses a surprisingly large amount of fossil fuel. Automobiles, trucks, jets and power plants account for more than 90 percent of the output from crude-oil refineries, but plastics consume the bulk of the remainder, around 80 million tons a year in the U.S. alone. To date, the efforts of the biotechnology and agricultural industries to replace conventional plastics with plant-derived alternatives have embraced three main approaches: converting plant sugars into plastic, producing plastic inside microorganisms, and growing plastic in corn and other crops. Cargill, an agricultural business giant, and Dow Chemical, a top chemical firm, joined forces three years ago to develop the first approach, which turns sugar from corn and other plants into a plastic called polylactide (PLA). Microorganisms transform the sugar into lactic acid, and another step chemically links the molecules of lactic acid into chains of plastic with attributes similar to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a petrochemical plastic used in soda bottles and clothing fibers. Looking for new products based on corn sugar was a natural extension of Cargill's activities within the existing corn-wet-milling industry, which converts corn grain to products such as high-fructose corn syrup, citric acid, vegetable oil, bioethanol and animal feed. In 1999 this industry processed almost 39 million tons of corn--roughly 15 percent of the entire U.S. harvest for that year. Indeed, Cargill Dow earlier this year launched a $300-million effort to begin mass-producing its new plastic, NatureWorksTM PLA, by the end of 2001 [see Gruber interview]. PRODUCTION AND ENERGY DEMANDS Other companies, including Imperial Chemical Industries, developed ways to produce a second plastic, called polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). Like PLA, PHA is made from plant sugar and is biodegradable. In the case of PHA, however, the bacterium Ralstonia eutropha converts sugar directly into plastic. PLA requires a chemical step outside the organism to synthesize the plastic, but PHA naturally accumulates within the
Re: [CTRL] Conspiracy Journal Website Destroyed!
Conspiracy Journal - http://www.webufo.net To all of our loyal friends, Sometime early on September 1, 2000, the Conspiracy Journal website was completely destroyed by an unknown outside party. All of our files, html and photos were erased with no chance (at least so far) of recovery. As you may already know, other UFO and conspiracy websites have been attacked and decimated by hackers this year - so we may now, unfortunately, be another victim of one of these intrusions. We have not received a reply to our frantic e-mails from our server, (not surprising due to the Labor day holiday weekend). So we don't know if this was an accident on their end or what has really occurred. We would like to hope that possibly our server may have a back-up of our files and that we could soon be back up and running. However, this is probably only a slim hope. The Conspiracy Journal that you all once knew, may now be gone forever. We will rebuild, but it will be a long, slow process, and, unfortunately, a lot of items are lost for good. If you have been receiving the Conspiracy Journal weekly e-mail newsletter, it will continue to be sent out every week. However, for the time being at least, the Conspiracy Journal website should be considered a casualty of the war with those who seek to keep the world uniformed and complacent to the dangers and mysteries that confront us today.

[CTRL] The Mummy's Curse and Worse....
So Ms. June, not that I am trying to prove anything for you or to you, but I feel you were entitled to a response re King Tut and the first appearance being in 1963 in this countrywell the advent of these treasures to USA (other than that which was obviously stolen in tombs by sovenier collectors and smuggled into USA) - you will note that these artifacts of King Tut first appeared from 1961 to 1963keep in mind, JFK was NOT to be president and that a tour of this type had to be arranged prior to his election.. So I am quoting from a book which is one of several.it was when I read this book that I realized that he name of my book The Valley of Hamon Gog - sub title Premeditated Murder by Prophecy, contained the big secret. That the Valley of the Kings and HAMON GOG..equated to Tut-Ank-Hamonas the English used to say Tut Tut, for the knew something not quite right here. So why I am doing this for an old grouch like you, I do not know, but your are CTRL's grouch and things could be a little duller without your sometimes credible and rational statements From: TREASURES OF TUTANKHAMUN, First Edition, November 1976 ..2nd Printing was in July 1977. Copyright: The Mtropolitian MUSEUM OF Art "Treasures of Tutankhamun is the most important and beautiful exhibition of ancient Egyptian art ever to come into the United States.IT DIFFERS IN SEVRAL KEY RSPECS FROM THE OTHER PRESENTATIONS OF SELECTIONS FROM THE REMARKABLE CONTENTS OF TUTANKHAMUN'S tomb held in this cuntry in 1961-1963 and Japan in 1965.or in the landmark exhibition in Paris in 1967 organizd by Mme.

As for John D. Rockefeller dying like Grald Ford's brother Leslie King (and they both had same name - Leslie King was Fords real name too).well, Rockefeller met death on a lonely road, as did I believe the Curator of the Museum who turned Loose Tut and his Curse, upon us..not that I believe in curses. And the Pope, well the Jesuits left a lot of poison in those tombs, and they were not there to save souls. So I believe this stuff Tut had was stuff stashed by original grave robbers... Anway, look what happened then and remember Sadat.gunned down and in the background stood the pyramids.fire birds all. Richard Nixon in 1974 and Anwar el Sadat wanted Tut Exhibit as a "final mpetus for the long hoped dreama for indication of good will between the two counries, USA and Egypt. Well first went Nixon, and then Ford had his famous phone call to Sadat.and then Squaky Frome almost got Ford dressed like little Red Riding Hood, and then Sadat gunned down, as we watchd the pyramids as a background - and what a scenario. Henry Kissinger who is anybody's kiss of death, who ridiculed Nixion for gtting down on his knees to pray, was ordered by Nixon to arrange for this exhibitand did with Foreigh Minister Ismail Fahmy. Oh St. Paul spoke of the sting of death, but look at tha Egyptian plane Thothmosis II..death shall come on swift wings to those who disturb the sleep of the pharoahs, and last New Years that bunch held a blast at the feet of the tomb of the Pharoahs, much watered down version for the Gods of ancient Egypt - had been angered. There is a secret society who follows the path of the rose, fulfilling ancient curses and updating same when the need beusing the ancient rituals to give this stuff a little demoniac dressing, they murder at will.they are the Tarot Card Assasons...who use a deck of cards to challenge the destiny of this country and the world. Me, now I know when to fold, and I know when to holdand believe me with that one I am folding for awhile. Was Bill Colby another Hanged Man Fear Death by Water - deep sixed like that mummy from the Temple of Aye who was aboard the Titanic in a solid gold coffin? Look what happened though - poor old Ford, Manson from a prison cell ordered a hit on him - always wondered who "The Queen of the South was".the queen of Sheba (Seba or Saba) with a gift? Some say this woman was the terror by night had long furry legs like a monkey,. So pleasant dreams June.your worry about this stuff now and I can get it off my
[CTRL] U.N. Summit Document: Expand U.N. Power
.. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related "conspiracy posts" at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: "Lloyd Miller" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: U.N. Summit Document: Expand U.N. Power Date: Friday, August 25, 2000 8:12 AM http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=2000/8/24/202112 U.N. Summit Document: Expand U.N. Power Austin Ruse Friday, Aug. 25, 2000 A closely guarded and highly controversial draft document that will be negotiated by governments at the U.N. Millennium Summit reveals that the United Nations plans to increase its influence and move closer to the center of the world stage. The document is also meant to burnish what has become an increasingly tarnished U.N. reputation. Among other things, the document calls for the ratification of seven U.N. conventions and for a world conference on nuclear disarmament. There is no question that powerful people within the U.N. and those closely connected to it want to exponentially expand U.N. power into all aspects of human life. This document, however, does not advance what many see as an impending political apocalypse at the September meeting. According to the "President's Working Draft" prepared for the U.N. Millennium Summit: The working draft document reveals a United Nations that is eager to regain lost credibility and to demand center stage. This comes after years of U.N. crises, including notable U.N. "peacekeeping" failures, ongoing financial and management problems and a string of controversial world conferences that have caused a widening rift between the U.N. and many governments. The summit will bring together what is being called the largest meeting of heads of state and government in history. Up to 150 are expected for the three-day meeting beginning Sept. 6 at U.N. headquarters in New York City. The meeting, which up to now has been wrapped in the usual pre-conference secrecy, has caused growing alarm among pro-family groups that expect the summit to be a vehicle for expanded U.N. power. The "President's Working Draft," which won't be released to the public until just before the conference, shows the desire of the U.N. to be the central actor on the world stage. Summit participants will be asked to affirm their "faith in the Organization and its Charter as indispensable foundations of a more peaceful, prosperous and just world." Over seven sections of the draft document call for increased commitments to peace, human rights, poverty reduction and environmental protection. Opening sentences give the document's feel: "We will spare no effort to free our peoples from the scourge of war." "We will spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from ... conditions of extreme poverty." "We must spare no effort to free all of humanity, and above all our children and grandchildren, from the threat of living on a planet irredeemably spoilt by human activities." "We will spare no effort to promote democracy and strengthen the rule of law." The document calls for the increased capacity for the U.N. to conduct peacekeeping operations, the timely paying of U.N. dues, the "speedy reform and enlargement of the Security Council," the elimination of nuclear weapons, the "prevention of trafficking in small arms and light weapons," "debt relief for the least developed nations," and the "promotion of gender equality in its own right." The document calls for the ratification of seven existing treaties, including the Rome Statutes of the International Criminal Court, the Ottawa Treaty banning land mines, the Kyoto Protocols on global warming, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention to Combat Desertification, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict. The document calls for one new treaty a Convention Against Terrorism - and a world conference on nuclear disarmament. The draft document will concern many. If they come to pass, some of the ideas in the draft document will cause problems in the coming years. http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=2000/8/24/202112 Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum. **FREE RARE BOOK SEARCH: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** Explore Our Archive: http://a-albionic.com/a-albionic.html A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] School bans Boy Scouts recruitment
Friends, This crap must stop - and immediately. None of the "organizations" and "authorities" who are now acting like gestapo agents against the Boy Scouts of America seem not to realize that they do not have a dime to distribute or control except for the contributions or taxes of thousands of citizens who very likely feel very differently. And, school "boards" and "authorities" had better listen up and come to a realization they are NOT in fact the Gestapo Headquarters in determining what rules, edicts and demands are to be followed by parents and students alike simply because they say so. Folks, you'd better start applying some very strong pressure to the authoritarian nut cases in our country who believe that they run things and decide whether or not "they" will support a particular organization, simply because these groups stand up for what we all know to be MORALLY RIGHT. School Superintendent Mark Smith desperately needs to be sent packing, as the first in a long line of despots who are not afraid to make these kinds of lunatic unilateral decisions which fly in the face of what every traditional American knows to be true and just.

The chapter, called the Knox Trail Council, will still be able to hold meetings in Framingham school buildings, providing they don't send children home with any information about the Boy Scouts. Smith said his decision was prompted by the local council's support of the Boy Scouts of America's policy of excluding both gay scout leaders and homosexual scouts. Dennis Prefontaine, a scout executive, who met with Smith earlier this month, was not available for comment. Smith said Framingham's schools have a strong commitment to respecting differences and diversity, and said the Boy Scouts' policy to exclude certain people is in direct conflict with those standards. He said he would take the same stance against any group that excludes people on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or sex. So far, Smith has not banned any other groups from disseminating information through the schools. "This is not targeted at the Boy Scouts," said Smith, who has been weighing the new policy since the high court ruling was handed down in June. "In fact, my hope would be that the local or national chapter would change their policy. I think very highly of the Boy Scouts and what they do for children." The U.S. Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that the Boy Scouts are permitted to deny participation of a gay youth or adult because they are a private organization, and therefore do not have to abide by laws prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations. If the Knox Council does change it's mind and decides to support the inclusion of all students, Smith said he would review the policy. John Roberts, executive director of the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, said the School Department's new policy treads a fine line between upholding the rights of students and the Council's First Amendment rights to freedom of assembly and free expression. "It's a very interesting cut here," said Roberts. "It's a clash of constitutional principles." Because Framingham's School Department has a policy of inclusion, Roberts said it may refuse the Boy Scouts permission to hand out material on school grounds that contradicts that policy. But he said the department may not keep them from using school buildings. Smith said that is exactly the reason the decision was made the way it was. Smith said he spoke with school principals and members of the School Committee about the controversy before issuing the policy. He said they agreed that the Scouts' position fails to benefit students educationally or enhance the schools' curriculum -- key criteria of the schools' solicitation policy. Smith said it's possible that the School Committee might review the building policy that grants use of grounds and buildings to various groups. Currently the

I think the ballot box is the biggest sham of all, but I think many people continue to believe in it because, they think it's the only power they have. However, these discussions do raise awareness, which is very important. If the voting system is corrupt, raising awareness won't change the outcome of elections, but at least people are aware of it.

Even in totally egalitarian societies where neither status nor poverty nor prohabition exist to motivate predation, And where do such societies exist? Perhaps some people are psychotic because they feel too restricted by the society that has been engineered. Being born into a freer society might result in less psychosis. As one who has been through psychosis, I can say that my biggest perception of the world while in a state of psychosis was the world was too restrictive and too judgmental. Therefore I stand by my opinion that in order to have peace, men must change within their hearts to be non-judgmental and permissive. I'm speaking from personal experience. People would also need to be more accepting of death. The fact that we have funerals and that we bury the dead indicates that we do not handle death well.

If the queers want "boy scouts"..let them form their ownonly they will need to merge with their own little girl scouts.hard to tell who will play who. Now that is uncalled for.

Re: [CTRL] School bans Boy Scouts recruitment
Friends, Number one, after reading your post here, I couldn't consider you to be one of my friends. This crap must stop - and immediately. None of the "organizations" and "authorities" who are now acting like gestapo agents against the Boy Scouts of America seem not to realize that they do not have a dime to distribute or control except for the contributions or taxes of thousands of citizens who very likely feel very differently. I don't know where you live, but in MA, many of the "taxpaying" citizens had no issues when the school board in Framingham passed the inclusion of "sexual orientation" in their discrimination text. And, school "boards" and "authorities" had better listen up and come to a realization they are NOT in fact the Gestapo Headquarters in determining what rules, edicts and demands are to be followed by parents and students alike simply because they say so. Yes, god forbid that the school board act as "Gestapo agents" like the rest of people like you. If we can all remember back to the Hitler regime and their "we are better than you" concepts, actions of the BSA start to strike home. Folks, you'd better start applying some very strong pressure to the authoritarian nut cases in our country who believe that they run things and decide whether or not "they" will support a particular organization, simply because these groups stand up for what we all know to be MORALLY RIGHT. The last time I checked, every person has the opportunity to attend the board meetings and speak their mind. Your concept of "MORALLY RIGHT" is very skewed. Perhaps individuals like yourself need to wake up. A new generation of young people have no issues with the need for individuality.

Your perspective is becoming less of a majority. School Superintendent Mark Smith desperately needs to be sent packing, as the first in a long line of despots who are not afraid to make these kinds of lunatic unilateral decisions which fly in the face of what every traditional American knows to be true and just. Now I am not a traditional American. All because I don't agree with your viewpoints. I stand back, view the situation, and congratulate Mark Smith and his school board for the decision that they have made. It is about time that people stand up for what they believe in, not some skewed perception of traditions and morals that your generation has created. I think like any human being, you are upset that the world that you helped to create for a younger generation is not going the way you like it, and now you are having a hissy fit. Remember that all parents have the choice to raise their children the way they see fit, and you have "options." Wow there's a concept. If you don't like the way the school board is running things, you have the option to withdraw your children, home school them, or send them to a parochial school. And if you don't have children, then sit back with me and look at other conspiracies the government is involved in that are KILLING OUR CIVILIANS, rather than wasting your efforts on something like this. Homosexual populations estimates range from anywhere from 5-10% of our population, and I can't see why the government would have an interest in increasing that population rather than getting itself involved in much more profitable and highly secret plots and conspiracies.

The chapter, called the Knox Trail Council, will still be able to hold meetings in Framingham school buildings, providing they don't send children home with any information about the Boy Scouts. Smith said his decision was prompted by the local council's support of the Boy Scouts of America's policy of excluding both gay scout leaders and homosexual scouts. Dennis Prefontaine, a scout executive, who met with Smith earlier this month, was not available for comment. Smith said Framingham's schools have a strong commitment to respecting differences and diversity, and said the Boy Scouts' policy to exclude certain people is in direct conflict with those standards. He said he would take the same stance against any group that excludes people on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or sex. So far, Smith has not banned any other groups from disseminating information through the schools. "This is not targeted at the Boy Scouts," said Smith, who has been weighing the new policy since the high court ruling was handed down in June. "In fact, my hope would be that the local or national chapter would change their policy. I think very highly of the Boy Scouts and what they do for children." The U.S. Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that the Boy Scouts are permitted to deny participation of a gay youth or adult because they are a private organization, and therefore do not have to abide by laws prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations. If the Knox Council does change it's mind and decides to support the inclusion of all students, Smith said he would review the policy. John Roberts, executive director of the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, said the School Department's new policy treads a fine line between upholding the rights of students and the Council's First Amendment rights to freedom of assembly and free expression. "It's a very interesting cut here," said Roberts. "It's a clash of constitutional principles." Because Framingham's School Department has a policy of inclusion, Roberts said it may refuse the Boy Scouts permission to hand out material on school grounds that contradicts that policy. But he said the department may not keep them from using school buildings. Smith said that is exactly the reason the decision was made the way it was. Smith said he spoke with school principals and members of the School Committee about the controversy before

According to court documents, Salzberg struck Lt. Larry Kimball a dozen times in the face March 17 after refusing to leave the police station's lobby. According to the documents, Salzberg thought government agents were following him because of his candidacy and that Kimball was part of the conspiracy when he tried to remove him from the police station.

[CTRL] Tests show Gulf war victims have uranium poisoni
Tests show Gulf war victims have uranium poisoning Jonathon Carr-Brown and Martin Meissonnier NEW evidence that Gulf war syndrome exists and was caused by radiation poisoning will be revealed today by a former American army colonel who was at the centre of his government's attempts to diagnose the illness. Dr Asaf Durakovic will tell a conference of eminent nuclear scientists in Paris that "tens of thousands" of British and American soldiers are dying from radiation from depleted uranium (DU) shells fired during the Gulf war. The findings will undermine the British and American governments' claims that Gulf war syndrome does not exist and intensify pressure from veterans on both sides of the Atlantic for compensation. Durakovic, who is professor of nuclear medicine at Georgetown University, Washington, and the former head of nuclear medicine at the US Army's veterans' affairs medical facility in Delaware, will tell the conference that he and his team of American and Canadian scientists have discovered life-threateningly high levels of DU in Gulf veterans 10 years after the desert war. His findings, which have been verified by four independent experts, is embarrassing for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and American Defence Department, which have consistently refused to test Gulf war veterans for DU. Durakovic will tell the European Association of Nuclear Medicine that tests on 17 veterans have shown DU in the urine and bones of 70% of them. Depleted uranium does not occur naturally. It is the by-product of the industrial processing of waste from nuclear reactors and is better known as weapons-grade uranium. It is used to strengthen the tips of shells to ensure that they pierce armour. Durakovic, who left America because he was told his life was in danger if he continued his research, has concluded that troops inhaled the tiny uranium particles after American and British forces fired more than 700,000 DU shells during the conflict. The finding begins to explain for the first time why medical orderlies and mechanics are the principal victims of Gulf war syndrome. British Army engineers who removed tanks hit by DU shells from the battlefield and medical personnel who cut off the clothes of Iraqi casualties in field hospitals have been disproportionately affected. Once inside the body, DU causes a slow death from cancers, irreversible kidney damage or wastage from immune deficiency disorders. In the UK, where more than 400 veterans are estimated to have died from "Gulf war syndrome", at least 50 of those victims came from Reme (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) units. Others, such as Ray Bristow, 42, of Hull, who was a theatre technician for 32 Field Hospital, are now wheelchair-bound. Tests carried out by Durakovic on Bristow showed that, nine years after leaving the Gulf, he had more than 100 times the safe limit of DU in his body. Durakovic said: "I doubt whether the MoD or Pentagon will have the audacity to challenge these results. I can't say this is the solitary cause of Gulf war syndrome, but we now have clear evidence that it is a leading factor in the majority of victims. "I hope the US and UK governments finally realise that, by continuing to use this ammunition, they are effectively poisoning their own soldiers." An MoD spokesman said it would study any new evidence: "Our aim is to get the best care for British veterans and our views are based on the best evidence around." = 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] More Details About Insane Congressional Candidate
"Salzberg told the doctors that a videotape that recorded the beating didn't correspond with what he remembered. He said the reason might have been that a section of his memory had somehow been removed. " http://www.newscoast.com/headlinesstory2.cfm?ID=30181 Doctors say candidate is insane posted 08/17/00 By Eric Alan Barton and Tom Spalding STAFF WRITERS A candidate for U.S. Congress believed that he was being attacked by a robot when he assaulted a Sarasota police lieutenant, and was legally insane at the time, two court-appointed doctors have reported. Robert Salzberg of Sarasota is asking a judge to declare him not guilty by reason of insanity based on the evaluations, which come just weeks before his name will appear on the Sept. 5 Democratic primary ballot. Prosecutors have tentatively agreed to accept his insanity plea in the next several weeks and will ask a judge to decide if Salzberg needs psychiatric counseling, said his attorney, Stephen Walker. Salzberg, 39, a Sarasota physical therapist, is running in U.S. House District 13, which includes Sarasota, Manatee and parts of Hillsborough and Charlotte counties. He'll be listed on the primary ballot, running against fellow Democrat Daniel E. Dunn. The winner will challenge Republican incumbent Dan Miller in November. According to court documents, Salzberg struck Lt. Larry Kimball a dozen times in the face March 17 after refusing to leave the police station's lobby. Eight officers were needed to pull him off Kimball. Salzberg was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and obstruction. His family posted a $100,000 cash bond to get him out of jail. If a judge accepts his insanity plea, Salzberg could be ordered to stay at a mental health facility, undergo outpatient care or be released. Both doctors who evaluated Salzberg believe that he needs outpatient psychiatric care but not hospitalization, according to their reports. The judicial system is not speeding Salzberg's case through to get it resolved before the election, Assistant State Attorney Steve Zimath said. The candidate appeared but did not speak Thursday as the lawyers updated Circuit Judge Nancy Donnellan on the status of the case. Ballots for the September primary have been certified and cannot be changed because of printing deadlines and other reasons. If Salzberg wins the primary, he will be listed on the November ballot unless a judge declares him incompetent at least 42 days before the election, said Robert Riker, assistant supervisor of elections in Sarasota. "I was aware of this guy and quite frankly I'm surprised he qualified" as a candidate, Riker said. "We don't expect him to get many votes." During two psychiatric evaluations ordered by a judge, Salzberg said he thought government agents were following him prior to his arrest because of his candidacy. Salzberg was suffering from bipolar disorder and could not understand what he was doing at the time he assaulted Kimball, wrote Dr. Eddy Regnier of Sarasota in a report to the court. Salzberg told the doctors he had seldom been sleeping and thought he was being followed by people wearing earplugs. He filed to run for office during a manic episode and spent little time at work, according to the doctors' reports. Salzberg said he believed Kimball was part of the conspiracy against him when the lieutenant tried to remove him from the police station. "We struggled for a few minutes. Then his hands were down and I started hitting him in the face over and over again," Salzberg told Dr. Gregory DeClue of Sarasota on Aug. 4. "But his face was weird. It was soft and it felt squishy and didn't move. ⦠I thought he was a robot at the time." Salzberg told the doctors that a videotape that recorded the beating didn't correspond with what he remembered. He said the reason might have been that a section of his memory had somehow been removed. Campaigning has been difficult since the charges "because people think I'm crazy," Salzberg said. However, he is an active congressional candidate who recently handed out fliers to voters. Walker said his client has been unfairly portrayed in the media because of an unfortunate incident. Kimball, who declined to comment Thursday, went to the hospital for his injuries but returned to work that week. MARtin F.

[CTRL] OPEC - THEY IS US!
OPEC - "THEY IS US!" by Ralph Epperson Author of The Unseen Hand AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CONSPIRATORIAL VIEW OF HISTORY Newspaper headlines scream: OPEC REDUCES PRODUCTION, OIL PRICES RISE! And we, the American people, flail our arms in contempt as we our gasoline prices increase! Those blasted "oil producing countries" have done it to us again! (OPEC stands for "The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.") And our American oil producing companies seem powerless to do anything about the increase in price! Why isn't something done to get us gasoline at a reduced price? Why are we so dependent on OPEC for our oil needs? But we do not know who the "they" in the OPEC nations are, but all we know is that "they" are "foreign nations!" Because our American oil companies would not do such a thing to their fellow Americans!! Because we have the "free enterprise system" in America where competition forces down the high prices, and it doesn't occur to us that OPEC might be the American (and European) oil companies!! But let me tell you . they are! Because OPEC is not "the foreigners," it is "us!" However, proving that statement is more difficult than making it, because there is but a little information that I am aware of that tells us just who these "foreigners" are. However, there are adequate clues that OPEC is not owned by the "foreigners" at all. But to understand OPEC, we must first understand a few simple economic terms, such as NATURAL MONOPOLY, COERCIVE MONOPOLY, and CARTEL The industrialists of the "industrial revolution" soon learned that exorbitant profits could not be made in the "FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM," where competitors could enter the market place and compete by selling the same product at a reduced price. The "industrialists" soon learned the merits of the MONOPOLY, a market place where they could continue to charge their exorbitant prices and no one would compete. But in a "FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM," another producer could enter the market place even if they had a monopoly and once again, reduce the price. A NATURAL MONOPOLY is defined as a market place where one seller is allowed to be the only producer of a product, because no one wishes to compete. But that threat of future competition caused the MONOPOLIST concern: that competition could always enter the market place at a future date and drive prices down. The NATURAL MONOPOLIST soon discovered the joys of hiring a government to protect his NATURAL MONOPOLY by closing the door to its competition. (A basket full of money given to the right person at the right time has strange effects on politicians!) This NATURAL MONOPOLY became a COERCIVE MONOPOLY because the hired government closed the market place by making it illegal to compete. So the MONOPOLIST turned to government and together they creates what is called a COERCIVE MONOPOLY. This exists when govern-ment and the MONOPOLIST combine to restrict the access of their competitors to the market place. But how does THE COERCIVE MONOPOLIST control the world market place when there is another COERCIVE MONOPOLIST in another nation with its government supporting its COERCIVE MONOPOLY? The answer is obvious: THE MONOPOLIST signs an agreement with the competing COERCIVE MONOPOLY and that resulting agreement is called a CARTEL! OPEC is a "CARTEL" (defined as "a few sellers in a market place, combining to set the price of a good sold.") This connection between the monopolists and government was correctly discerned by Frederick Clemson Howe, Ph.D., an economist, lawyer, and a special assistant to Henry Wallace, the Secretary of Agriculture and later a Vice-President to Franklin Roosevelt. He wrote: "These are the rules of big business: Get a monopoly. Let society work for you, and remember that the best business is politics, for a legislative grant, franchise, subsidy, or tax xemption is worth more than a Kimberly or Comstock Lode, since it does not require any labor either mental or physical, for its exploitation." John D. Rockefeller, the American oil magnate, one who correctly learned the lesson about MONOPOLIES as well, expressed his opinion that "Competition is a sin." Another who wrote of this connection was Dr. Antony Sutton, who wrote in his book WALL STREET AND FDR: (meaning Franklin D. Roosevelt) "Old John Rockefeller and his 19th century fellow capitalists were convinced of an absolute truth: that no great monetary wealth could be accumulated under the impartial rules of competitive laissez-faire [the free-enterprise system] society. The only sure road to the acquisition of massive wealth was mo-nopoly: Drive out your competitors, reduce competition, eliminate laissez-faire [the free enterprise system] and above all get state protection for your industry through compliant
[CTRL] Arutz-7 News: Sunday, Sept. 3, 2000
Arutz Sheva News Service www.IsraelNationalNews.com Sunday, Sept. 3, 2000 / Elul 3, 5760 TODAY'S HEADLINES: 1. MYRIADS ACCOMPANY DERI TO PRISON 2. THE END OF THE MINISTRY OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS? 3. JERUSALEM AT STAKE 4. P.A. THREATENS JERUSALEM ARABS 5. HILLARY FOR POLLARD? 6. ELYAGON PROMOTION TO BE DECIDED 7. PROF. SLANDERED HEVRON YOUTH 8. MELCHIOR EXPECTS "GREATER SENSITIVITY" FROM VATICAN 1. MYRIADS ACCOMPANY DERI TO PRISON An estimated 20,000 Shas party supporters greeted Aryeh Deri in Ramle today on his way to begin a three-year prison term. They recited Psalms and chanted slogans in support of Deri, the former Interior Minister who was convicted of accepting bribes totaling $90,000 on behalf of a Jerusalem yeshiva. Prison Service officials will decide today in which prison Deri will spend the next two years until he is up for parole. Earlier in the day, thousands of supporters had gathered at the entrance to Jerusalem to show their support for Deri as he left for Ramle. There were several short-lived clashes between Shas supporters and the police along the highway from Jerusalem to Ramle and outside the prison. In his parting speech, Deri again said that he accepts the decree with "a joyous heart," and called for his supporters to help other Jews "find their way to a religious way of life and education." He asked forgiveness from all whom he may have hurt or not paid sufficient attention to over the years, including Rabbi Yosef, as well as Ashkenazi hareidi Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Shach for "sorrow I caused you in the past." Deri said that the real struggle now must concentrate on education of the children and a return to Judaism throughout the country. "No shackles will stop the cry of Shma Yisrael [Hear O Israel]," he said. Deri entered the prison holding a Torah scroll he was given by Rabbi David Yosef, a son of Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef. Rabbi Ovadiah spoke beforehand, and compared Deri to the Biblical Joseph: "Just as he emerged from prison and became a king, so may you too emerge and rule over Israel." Rabbi Yosef called upon the crowds of supporters to "behave with restraint." 2. THE END OF THE MINISTRY OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS? The government approved Prime Minister Barak's proposal today to dismantle the Ministry for Religious Affairs. The proposal calls for the ministry's authorities to be dispersed among the municipal councils and other government offices. MK Yigal Bibi (National Religious Party), who served as Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs under Binyamin Netanyahu and under Barak up until a few months ago, told Arutz-7 today that the vote today is "devoid of content." Bibi said, "The declaration to close the Ministry does not require a Knesset majority, but the transfer of the authorities to other government offices does require such a majority, which he does not have. This is simply another step in his 'secular revolution,' in which over the next few days we will hear how corrupt the Ministry of Religious Affairs is, and he will ride on this wave of hatred. It is too bad that the people of Israel have to suffer, in that religious services will not be provided over the coming period. This is simply a bluff, planned by Barak's advisors... [Acting Minister for Religious Affairs] Beilin had good intentions in attempting to fix some of the problems in the Ministry, but now Barak has ruined it for him... In addition, the ministry's entire yearly budget is 500 million shekels - not including the per-capita stipends for yeshiva students - so how can it be [as is claimed] that 'hundreds of millions' will be saved by this move?" MK Tommy Lapid, head of the anti-religious Shinui party, agreed - albeit from the opposite direction - that the Barak plan to dismantle the Ministry of Religious Affairs is "hollow," in that "all the clerks and budgets will simply be transferred to other government offices." Lapid calls for the firing of all the "unnecessary clerks," and the cessation of all Religious Ministry activities. "If this is the beginning of Barak's secular revolution," Lapid said, "it is totally meaningless." 3. JERUSALEM AT STAKE Prime Minister Barak departs for New York this evening, where he will meet with dozens of world leaders at the United Nation's Millennium Conference. He will address the conference on Wednesday night, and will also participate in a major gathering of American-Jewish leaders. Separate meetings held by U.S. President Clinton this week with Barak and Arafat may determine the fate of the final-status agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. A double petition is currently being circulated via e-mail, calling for both a halt to American pressure on Israel to give away Jerusalem and a halt to Israeli yielding to such pressure. The petition will be faxed to every U.S. Congressman and every Israeli government member. Time is of the essence, claim the organizers, as the Clinton-Barak-Arafat meetings are

On Sun, 3 Sep 2000 15:15:04 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] posted article [EMAIL PROTECTED], which said: U.N. Summit Document: Expand U.N. Power The document calls for the increased capacity for the U.N. to conduct peacekeeping operations, the timely paying of U.N. dues, Or "taxes" in other words. The document calls for the ratification of seven existing treaties, including the Rome Statutes of the International Criminal Court, the Ottawa Treaty banning land mines, the Kyoto Protocols on global warming, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention to Combat Desertification, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict. The document calls for one new treaty a Convention Against Terrorism - and a world conference on nuclear disarmament. What? No Convention to Promote the Persecution of Drug Users? The draft document will concern many. If they come to pass, some of the ideas in the draft document will cause problems in the coming years. That much is certain with any new arrangement.

[CTRL] Something strange from Kansan1225
X-Admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kansan1225) Newsgroups: alt.fan.rawilson Date: 08 Aug 2000 21:03:10 GMT Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Subject: Leo Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Xref: dfw-artgen.news.verio.net alt.fan.rawilson:5628 X-Agent-Group: alt.fan.rawilson I was just on the phone with my West Coast associate, Miss Jildau Van Nuys, and made arrangements to receive her timely reports from the Democratic National Seance in Los Angeles next week. We were joined on a three-way conference call with our sister in Christ, Miss Milagros Margolis, who has been ministering tirelessly among relapsed heretics in the Hispanic Hungarian Marrano community of Los Angeles. All three of us agreed that the major party announcements of the Vice-Presidential nominees have followed the occult instructions of Eliphas Levi's famous Baphomet figure: The Baphomet figure points to the waning Moon and prescribes "Coagula!", i.e., "coagulate, consolidate!". At the time of the waxing Moon the command is "Solve!", i.e., "dissolve, disintegrate!". The clandestine Luciferian Masonic (CLuM) Conspirators have arranged for George Walker Bush to be elected President this year. Just as a "George W." (Washington) was the first President of New Atlantis, so another "George W." (Bush) will be the first President of New Atlantis to be inaugurated during this New Age, the New World Order, the world- wide Empire of the Antichrist that was established on June 7, 1999. Thus, Bush's pick of Cheney was announced at the time of the waning Moon to "consolidate" the successful Republican team. Similarly now, two weeks later, as the Moon is waxing, Gore announced his pick of Lieberman to ensure the "dissolution" of any chances of success for the Democratic ticket. Both National Conventions take place during the sign of Leo, the so- called "Lion of Judah", the Republican one right after the Blue New Moon of Sunday, July 30, 2000, and the Democratic one at the time of the Full Moon of Leo on Tuesday, August 15, 2000. The latter day, August 15, also happens to be the Christian feast day of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the bodily and spiritual Assumption of the Mother of God to the Heavens. CLuMs like to compare Mary to the Egyptian "goddess" Isis, the mother of Horus, their favorite image of the Antichrist. Another member of the Christian Invincible Network, Brother Aladdin Yu, has commented in the past that the candidates may be under constant electromagnetic bombardment by corrupt Law Enforcement Officials (LEO). Such electromagnetic radiation can be used for mind control or to even cause heart attacks, such as the one that took the life of Florida Governor Lawton Chiles in December 1998. (Chiles was the predecessor of CLuM Brother Jeb Bush, brother of George W.) Although such a Luciferian technology may be capable of mind control, etc., we should not overlook the possibility of plain old demonic possession in all these cases. "!Oy vey, Santisima Madre de Dios!", sighed Milagros Margolis into the phone. "We can never relax. Two years ago on August 7, 1998, on the day of the Full Moon of Leo, CIA operative CLuM Brother Osama bin Laden blew up the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi and Dar as-Salaam. Just before that, on the New Moon of Leo, July 24, 1998, 'deranged lone gunman' Rusty Weston killed two police officers in the Capitol building, a clear case of mind control through demonic possession, if I ever saw one." "But, of course!", added Miss Van Nuys. "That was a required sacrifice on the part of the Capitol's Law Enforcement Organization (LEO) in preparation for the major sacrifice of CLuM Brother Billy Blythe Clinton, his Impeachment, that eventually took place at the Capitol on December 19, 1998, on the day of the New Moon of Hanukkah, close to the Winter Solstice." Milagros then invited Jildau and Professor Phyllis Stein, too, to her house in Azusa for dinner to discuss their plans for next week. They were all eager to sample Milagros's new recipe, chicken paprikosh with fried bananas.

Re: [CTRL] School bans Boy Scouts recruitment
That's fine, NATE FISCHER - it is you who have chosen to make of me an enemy. I greet you as friend, and you announce to the world, like a typical liberal blatherer, that I am not so. Fine. YOU have made the choice. Your comments reveal you to be one of the crowd who gets their jollies by becoming round-shouldered from patting the current establishment on the back for their "great courage" and "strong stands." Hurray for you and them too, but since you seem to have about a 1% grasp of dictatorships, and the Hitler era in paticular, the citizenry LOVED Hitler, and openly wept tears of adoration and joy when that lunatic monster appeared in their midst, and they loved "der fuehrer" when he took a "strong stand," and decided for the nation what it is that they, and the state, believed and stood for. You would have loved the emperor's new clothes. Now, not to overlook the obvious, but every pro-American, conservative list seems to have it's one self-appointed "crap-stirrer" - who would rather foment discord amongst the members, than to have them realize the truth of what's going on around them. You seem to be the one on this site. Don't discuss the issues - kill the messenger. Maybe the Massachusetts explains it somewhat. To quote yourself, "The last time I checked" -- NOBODY DIED and LEFT YOU BOSS -- so why you feel it's your duty to be rude, nasty and attempt to bawl me out in public when I am only noticing the obvious, raises real questions about YOUR MOTIVES. You said In the meantime, STOP WASTING MY BANDWIDTH WITH "YOUR CRAP" You have subscribed to this site voluntarily - so stop your whining like the cry-baby you have demonstrated you are, and if you do not like me writing a commentary on another post, GET OUT!!

None of the "organizations" and "authorities" who are now acting like gestapo agents against the Boy Scouts of America seem not to realize that they do not have a dime to distribute or control except for the contributions or taxes of thousands of citizens who very likely feel very differently. I don't know where you live, but in MA, many of the "taxpaying" citizens had no issues when the school board in Framingham passed the inclusion of "sexual orientation" in their discrimination text. And, school "boards" and "authorities" had better listen up and come to a realization they are NOT in fact the Gestapo Headquarters in determining what rules, edicts and demands are to be followed by parents and students alike simply because they say so. Yes, god forbid that the school board act as "Gestapo agents" like the rest of people like you. If we can all remember back to the Hitler regime and their "we are better than you" concepts, actions of the BSA start to strike home. Folks, you'd better start applying some very strong pressure to the authoritarian nut cases in our country who believe that they run things and decide whether or not "they" will support a particular organization, simply because these groups stand up for what we all know to be MORALLY RIGHT. The last time I checked, every person has the opportunity to attend the board meetings and speak their mind. Your concept of "MORALLY RIGHT" is very skewed. Perhaps individuals like yourself need to wake up. A new generation of young people have no issues with the need for individuality.. They accept people for who they are, no some skewed perception of morals that your generation has created. And besides aren't morals created by the majority of a population. Your perspective is becoming less of a majority. School Superintendent Mark Smith desperately needs to be sent packing, as the first in a long line of despots who are not afraid to make these kinds of lunatic unilateral decisions which fly in the face of what every traditional American knows to be true and just. Now I am not a traditional American. All because I don't agree with your viewpoints. I stand back, view the situation, and congratulate Mark Smith and his school board for the decision that they have made. It is about time that people stand up for what they believe in, not some skewed perception of traditions and morals that your generation has created. I think like any human being, you are upset that the world that you helped to create for a younger generation is not going the way you like it, and now you are having a hissy fit. Remember that all parents have the choice to raise their children the way they see fit, and you have "options." Wow there's a concept.

I believe it begins at a more fundamental level. The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution provides for EQUAL protection under the law, not greater protection. The 1st Amendment provides for freedom of speech and association. You're free to try and persuade people, but you can't legislate morality. It must come from within and every individual has his own philosophy, whether he knows it or not. I like Alexander Berkman's words, "No opinion a law--no opinion a crime." Accusing people of belonging to the Moral Majority because they have preferences unlike your anothers is puzzling to me. I don't mind gays, but why do I have to hear about it all the time?

But one expert fears it may turn into a sci-fi style exercise in mass mind control. Researchers believe that adding the chemical - tryptophan - to food would help overweight people eat less. Diets often fail because smaller meals contain less tryptophan, which makes the mood-forming chemical serotonin. Too little serotonin and people become depressed - leading them to abandon their diet. But nutrition expert Professor Tim Lang, from Thames Valley University, fears that adding the chemical to food could have sinister effects in years to come. He told the Daily Mail: 'This could be a slippery slope. 'Twenty or 30 years from now, states or companies could be using this technique to exercise mass psychological control - and people will be asking why they were not told in time.' The Medical Research Council - which receives Government funding - is leading the investigation into whether 'happy food' would help obese people shed the pounds. Unilever - which produces Wall's Ice Cream and Flora margarine - is also backing the study. A Unilever spokesman said: 'This particular research is very long term. 'I do stress that it will have no impact whatsoever on any of our current products.' But Professor Lang said other less scrupulous nations than Britain might see mood-enhanced food as an opportunity to control their people. He added: 'It could be used by totalitarian regimes which want to manipulate people.'

[CTRL] The same few people still own the country
The same few people still own the country http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/2831/1037911.asp By ROD WATSON 8/31/00 OK, they're going to humor us again next week. Sure, they're giving us Monday off. But the lakes will be too crowded to fish. And besides, we really shouldn't be bought off that easily, anyway. In fact, to be honest about it, we should just be honest and stop even calling it Labor Day. Start celebrating Corporations Day and get it over with. After all, the corporate culture has permeated this society far more than any idea ever propagated by modern labor leaders. Even unions themselves - despite a few high-profile victories - haven't found a way to rebuild membership or infiltrate the so-called "new economy" sectors where much of the job growth is taking place. Union membership is only a paltry 16 percent. And it's only about 10 percent if you subtract government workers and count only private-sector employees. Changing the name to Corporations Day would reflect who really runs the country. The change would be especially appropriate in a presidential election year. Just think about it. Corporate influence is evident in everything from sponsorship of the two major conventions to the fact that business is picking up much of the tab for the upcoming debates - which helps explain why corporate thorn-in-the-backside Ralph Nader won't be coming soon to a TV screen near you. But who's going to protest when we keep hearing that half the country is now invested in the stock market and the other half wants to be, either directly or through 401(k) plans and the like? Just who are the workers going to rail against? Themselves? Which raises the obvious question: Has labor lost its working class consciousness because the laborers are also the owners? Has the growing corporatization of America changed what the new workers/owners are concerned about? "That's a very interesting question. Five years ago I would have said it should," said economist Margaret Blair, research director at the Georgetown-Sloan Project on Business Institutions at Georgetown University. But she and others point to the just-ended labor spat at United Airlines, where workers have invested heavily in the company, as proof that minds can't be changed at older industries simply through employee ownership. Or, to put it more bluntly, workers can't be totally bought off with stock options. Still, if there's any real working-class consciousness surviving in new-economy America, it may be because the notion of worker investment in the economy has been oversold, anyway. For the most part, the same few people still own the country. That's one finding that will be outlined in the Economy Policy Institute's "State of Working America" report that will be released this weekend. While still guarding the details of the analysis, co-author Jared Bernstein says that despite the hype, most workers still aren't invested in the stock market. And for most of those who are, it's such a small investment that it couldn't possibly affect their outlook. Nearly 70 percent of the market's recent gains have gone to just the richest 10 percent of Americans, he said. For most workers, their livelihoods still depend almost exclusively on wages or salaries, and their health benefits. "The stock market boom has largely passed the middle-income households by," said Bernstein, an economist for the Washington-based think tank. But that doesn't mean that corporate America hasn't infiltrated workers' minds in other ways. From the public television commercials posing as sponsorship messages, to the Channel One ads that tell schoolchildren which products they must have, to the business logos all over public buildings, we are constantly being corporatized. So why shouldn't corporate America have its own holiday? I know what you're thinking: It already does; it's called Christmas. But that period from the day after Thanksgiving to Dec. 24, during which buying becomes a religion, is not officially named after the folks who make it all possible. With the Commerce Department reporting that spending went up twice as fast as incomes last month, and that the personal savings rate was a negative 0.2 percent - the lowest ever - it's clear who's pulling the strings. Any sector that can talk us out of our paychecks this effectively deserves its own holiday. So does any sector that can talk the Democratic Party into becoming a free-trade organization, talk both parties out of changing the campaign-finance system that makes it all possible, and talk half of the country into staying home on Election Day and letting it all happen. So stay home Monday, and celebrate Corporations Day. A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] FEDS READY TO BLOCK AOL/TIME WARNER DEAL
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Open-Access, A Key Issue in AOL Merger Deal _Special Report_ ⢠AOL-TimeWarner Merger _Industry Report_ ⢠Internet What's Your Opinion? E-Mail This Article Printer-Friendly Version By James V. Grimaldi and Alec Klein Washington Post Staff Writers Monday, September 4, 2000; Page A01 Federal antitrust attorneys, fearful of a media juggernaut that could control the Internet, are prepared to block the America Online Inc.-Time Warner Inc. merger unless the companies agree to keep open their high-speed cable lines to competing entertainment and online companies, The Washington Post has learned. Federal Trade Commission staff attorneys are concerned that in certain markets where Time Warner operates cable systems there is no viable competition to provide high-speed access to the Internet through cable TV lines. As a result, consumers could be forced to accept AOL-Time Warner TV programming and Internet content exclusively, according to sources close to the matter. The staff decision by no means is a death blow for the merger deal, which was announced Jan. 10. Intensive discussions now are expected to continue until some compromise is worked out that satisfies staff concerns about consumer choice and meets the companies' goal of preserving their options. Commission officials declined to comment on the specifics of the negotiations. "This is an early point of the process and the decision is up to the commission and obviously these discussions are part of the process that could lead eventually to action by the commission," FTC spokesman Eric London said. Time Warner recently stuck a deal to open its cable TV lines to Juno Online Services Inc. AOL has pointed to this agreement with an independent online service provider as an example that the combined companies are committed to a policy of open access. "As we've said from day one, AOL and Time Warner are fully committed to open access and just recently announced the first ever open-access agreement with independent ISP Juno," AOL spokeswoman Kathy McKiernan said. "Our ongoing conversations with the regulatory agencies are proceeding well and we are on track to close in the fall." But the antitrust lawyers are seeking, at the least, assurances that such deals will continue to be made after the merger is approved. FTC lawyers are concerned about the power of the combined companies. Together, Dulles-based AOL, the world's largest Internet provider, and New York-based Time Warner, the nation's No. 2 cable company, would control 40 percent of the Internet access market and reach 20 percent of cable-equipped homes. The lawyers for the FTC's Bureau of Competition have not forwarded a recommendation to the commission and are in discussions with the companies, sources said. The FTC staff lawyers, who can be expected to be the most aggressive of the officials involved in the merger review, believe they have sufficient evidence to persuade courts that without concessions the merger would violate antitrust laws meant to prevent mergers that lead to monopolies. Negotiations are expected to continue during the next two months and are to include Richard G. Parker, director of the competition bureau, before the matter is referred to the five-member commission. The staff attorneys' conclusion is not binding and Parker could overrule it. Commission staff members have briefed members of Congress on the status of the discussions and last week Rep. W.J. "Billy" Tauzin (R-La.) announced he would hold a House telecommunications subcommittee hearing later this month. AOL chief executive Steve Case and his counterpart at Time Warner, Gerald Levin, are to testify at the hearing. Case, in previous congressional testimony, has insisted that AOL-Time Warner will not discriminate against the content of competitors or give its own entertainment properties preferential treatment. Nationwide there are thousands of Internet service providers, but antitrust enforcers are concerned that consumers will lose choice in the face of AOL's marketing power and Time Warner's high-speed Internet access technology. Time Warner and AOL have promised that the merged company would not require subscribers to sign up with AOL as a condition of receiving turbo-charged World Wide Web access from Time Warner cable lines, but the competition officials want to ensure that this promise is kept. The key to that promise is what kind of language, which could be included in a consent decree, would be crafted to require AOL-Time Warner to guarantee open access to the cable lines. The companies are likely to oppose tough, compulsory language that seeks guaranteed access to any company at a set price. Even without the marketing power of AOL, Time Warner and other cable companies are signing up hundreds of thousands of high-speed Internet access customers each month. The

Colombian authorities followed suit by artificially raising the guerrilla death toll in the key battle by the round number of 50; from 12 deaths documented by cadavers to 62 claimed by Colombian military authorities -- officials who had lost communication with the scene of the battle -- and again repeated by the unquestioning English-language wires and press.

Orlin Grabbe/A - America is Number One Religion: It's Free, So Take Two And remember that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife. "The American Puritan," observed the celebrated newspaperman H.L. Mencken, "was not content with the rescue of his own soul; he felt an irresistible impulse to hand salvation on, to disperse and multiply it ... to make it free and compulsory." Mencken wrote these words in 1922. If the salvation of souls was an irresistible impulse for the Puritans, for their heirs it had become a burning ambition. Never before, however, have they been as well placed to realise so much of it. The reason is America's global ascendancy. As the sole surviving superpower, the United States can exert enormous political, economic and even military clout in ways that indirectly assist the activities of its missionaries by breaking down protectionist barriers to the free flow of ideas and by defending the right of its citizens to spread whatever their message might be in every corner of the globe. As well, the US is now the world's cultural hothouse. Increasingly people everywhere find that what they eat, wear and watch, the games they play, even the language that they speak, is influenced by trends set on the streets of Los Angeles and in the boardrooms of New York. Can what people believe be far behind? Is our faith going the way of our footwear and our fashion? Is the world being remade in America's religious image? If you accept the claims of some American evangelists you would certainly think so. According to the Christian Broadcasting Network, for example, its gospel crusades in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in 1998 resulted in more than 5 million "salvations". CBN, a creation of televangelist Pat Roberston, took its crusade Africa-wide last year. By its own account, that effort rescued an astonishing 30 million souls from the clutches of Satan. If this rate of conversion can be believed, and if it can be sustained despite competition from Islam and mainstream Christian churches, the whole of the African continent will be won over to the Lord by His American disciples within 20 years. Of course, claims are one thing; facts are another. But there is no disputing the radical change in the religious complexion of Latin America in recent years nor the primary force behind it. The proportion of Latin Americans who are Protestant has climbed from 4 per cent in 1960 to about 15 per cent today. Among regular church attenders, Protestants now match Catholics. For the region as a whole, the number of practising Protestants is greater than the number of members of all other kinds of voluntary organisations including those involving politics, culture and sports combined. The numbers, however, have not been chalked up by the historic Protestant denominations Anglicans, Lutherans and so on but rather by largely American-inspired independent, charismatic and evangelical offshoots. Between 1990 and 1992, for instance, more than 700 new churches were established in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro alone. Only one of them, however, was Catholic 90 per cent were Pentecostal. According to a survey undertaken by Brazil's Institute for Religious Studies in the early 1990s, evangelical Protestantism was "the most important movement changing attitudes in contemporary Brazilian society". Under its influence Brazilians were becoming politically more conservative, socially more disengaged, and generally less concerned with the welfare of others than with their own path to personal salvation and material success. Add adherence to a strict code of moral behaviour and blind faith in the literal truth of the Bible and you have the predominant Christian message issuing from the United States. American evangelical Protestantism is the strongest tradition in America's religious history. Though loosely organised, evangelicals now constitute the largest single religious faction in the US, with more white evangelicals outside the US National Council of Churches than there are Protestants within the ecumenical fold. Evangelicals are also the innovators in terms of proselytising whether via radio, television, publishing, religious movies or foreign missionary activity. But theirs is a uniquely secularised religion. Its appeal lies not in any claim to be a faithful expression of time-honoured beliefs and practices or to be an authentic extension of the Christian communities of Europe. In fact, tradition and established church hierarchies were rejected by American Protestants long ago as the corrupting and oppressive remnants of the Old World. Nor does evangelical Protestantism's appeal lie in other-worldliness. That would be inconsistent with the rationalist, materialist culture in which it is embedded. No, the faith of Americans is an easy believism that accommodates itself to the surrounding societal values. Creeds, customs and

But while the allegations might sound like they come from some paranoid mind, intelligence experts say they have at least an air of plausibility. If true, the stories would make a mockery of Canada's ability to protect its secrets. They would also be a massive blow to the country's beleaguered spy service, which has already suffered a string of embarrassing leaks and Keystone-Kop mishaps in the last year or so. Many analysts contend that the current spy scandal reflects the long-standing weakness of Canada's security and intelligence apparatus. ``Yes, there's vulnerability there,'' says York University professor Reg Whittaker, an expert on national-security issues. ``Canadian intelligence is particularly susceptible to potential manipulation by its allies in as much as we are dependent to a substantial degree on intelligence exchanges.'' Whittaker says Canada has long been dependent on other countries - most notably the United States - to provide foreign-intelligence information. That's because Canada does not have a foreign-intelligence agency of its own. ``We end up quite dependent, mainly on the Americans, but on others like the Brits and, in a regional sense, the Israelis,'' Whittaker says. ``We're essentially borrowers of foreign intelligence and, above all, from United States agencies,'' says Peter Russell, who was head of research for a royal commission that led to the creation of CSIS. And Whittaker says that dependence may extend beyond the information we obtain, to the tools Canadian intelligence officers use to do the job. ``The newer twist that's added is as intelligence goes increasingly high-tech, are we developing a new level of dependency here since we're unlikely to have the resources to develop very sophisticated software?'' The current spy scandal revolves around allegations that foreign agents shattered Canada's national security by penetrating secret case-management databases at the RCMP and CSIS. Sources claim Promis software used by the Mounties and CSIS to co-ordinate secret investigations was rigged with a ``trap door'' that allowed American and Israeli agents to eavesdrop. The Promis software was at the centre of a major U.S. scandal a decade ago, when Bill and Nancy Hamilton, owners of Washington-based Inslaw Inc., alleged the U.S. government had stolen their software and peddled pirated versions to intelligence agencies around the world. Later, a former Israeli spy also alleged the software had been fitted with the electronic trap door to allow American and Israeli agents to spy on those who used the software. In his book, Gideon's Spies, Welsh author Gordon Thomas recounts the tale of how Rafi Eitan, former deputy director of operations at Mossad, claimed both Israel and the United States had sold modified Promis software to Canada and other countries through front companies. CSIS adamantly denies ever possessing the software. The RCMP won't comment, except to confirm the existence of the investigation and to say that, so far, no evidence of a breach of national security has been found. One source claimed last weekend that the trap door had been discovered and rectified in 1994, but others contest that, saying it operated later and might even still be active. The most withering commentary on the current scandal is the joke that foreign spies didn't need to bother rigging software to find out Canada's intelligence secrets - they could just as easily have picked up some top-secret files sitting in a parked car, or computer disks left behind in a phone booth. In the past year, CSIS has been plagued by clumsy mishaps, information leaks and poor morale. In April, an agent was suspended after granting a media interview during which he described the agency as a ``rat hole.'' Also this spring, CSIS suffered an embarrassing security breach when the identities of newly appointed
