Re: [CTRL] Good Hunters ...
Not only do I remember the claims that there were other bombs in the building being made even as people were still evacuating, I remember seeing one woman on the live coverage of the event say that she'd been in the nursery daycare center and SAW another bomb just outside the daycare center as they evacuated after the first explosion... The other thing I remember is that the next night, one of the broadcast network's newsmagazine shows did a special live broadcast...and one of the things they highlighted were families looking for next-of-kin. One of the families was missing a woman who worked in the building...they'd checked all the hospitals and the morgue, and the woman was nowhere to be found. Strangely, she was ID'd on a tape made of one of the live broadcasts made immediately after the explosion. She and another woman were helping a male coworker who, while ambulatory, was bleeding profusely from his face and scalp. The missing woman had some blood on herself, but didn't look injured, so it may have been the coworker's... So she was definitely alive and relatively well after the explosion, and had obviously gotten out of the building. But now, 36 hours later, she was nowhere to be found. It wasn't clear whether the coworkers in the video had been located, either... And then some witnesses started talking about strange vehicles which arrived on the scene soon after the explosion, and how some people were boarded on these vehicles (apparently both buses and Army-type trucks were used), and were driven off to some unknown destination... Unfortunately the network that broadcast that live show 36 hours after the explosion never followed up on the story of the missing relatives, particularly the woman who was shown alive and well on the video made after the explosion...was she perhaps one of the ones who was made to board these mysterious vehicles and driven to some unknown destination? I've always wondered, too, about how 'convenient' it was that periodically civilian rescuers/searchers were ordered out of the remains of the building, and only certain gov't spooks allowed in...it seemed that immediately afterwards, the bodies of missing relatives started to be found in the building... I've always been suspicious, based on that TV show that showed a missing worker of the building alive and well and evacuated from the building but who still hadn't been found a day and a half later, that perhaps certain people who had seen a little too much were boarded on those buses and trucks and driven to some destination where they were dispensed with, and their bodies later planted back into the Murrah Building...

[CTRL] Public Relations 101...
-Caveat Lector- Online Journal - http://www.onlinejournal.com 04-23-01: Goebbels and today's mass mind control: Part One How PR opinion-shapers turn the people against their own interests By Carla Binion April 23, 2001 -- Today's right-wing public relations spin has much in common with the propaganda methods of Hitler's PR man, Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels admired Edward Bernays, a self-proclaimed founder of the public relations industry. Bernays, a Vienna-born nephew of Sigmund Freud, opened a New York office in 1919. According to John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton, (Toxic Sludge is Good for You, Common Courage Press, 1995) Bernays pioneered the PR industry's use of psychology and other social sciences to design its public persuasion campaigns. Bernays wrote in Propaganda, (New York: 1928, pp. 47-48) If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it. Bernays referred to this scientific opinion-control as the engineering of consent. In his autobiography, Bernays discusses a dinner at his home in 1933 where, Karl von Weigand, foreign correspondent of the Hearst newspapers, an old hand at interpreting Europe and just returned from Germany, was telling us about Goebbels and his propaganda plans to consolidate Nazi power. Goebbels had shown Weigand his propaganda library, the best Weigand had ever seen. Goebbels, said Weigand, was using my book 'Crystallizing Public Opinion' as a basis for his destructive campaign against the Jews of Germany. This shocked me .Obviously the attack on the Jews of Germany was no emotional outburst of the Nazis, but a deliberate, planned campaign. Today, corporations spend millions on public relations campaigns to crystallize public opinion, often in an effort to convince the public that harmful things are actually good for us. Sometimes the companies start by bending the minds of our elected representatives. This is the first part of a series. In part one, we'll focus on the ways in which corporations and their public relations mind-shapers worked to destroy the Clinton health care plan. Today forty-four million Americans, about one in five people, have no health coverage, and many people cannot afford needed pharmaceutical drugs. Most Americans probably wonder why, despite repeatedly broken campaign promises, Congress never does anything to improve the health care system. As far back as November 8, 1999, a Newsweek article reported that half or more of eligible heart attack patients are at greater risk because they can't get needed beta blockers. The article stated that two-thirds of people surveyed say they are worried that health care is no longer affordable. Conditions haven't improved since then. In 1993, the Clinton administration tried to do something about the high price of prescription drugs, hinting at possible government-imposed price controls. The pharmaceutical industry then turned to the Beckel Cowan PR firm to oppose the administration's designs on lowering the cost of prescription drugs -- although, of course, the Clinton plan would have benefited the public. Stauber and Rampton write that Beckel Cowan created an astroturf [or, fake grassroots] organization called 'Rx Partners' and began deploying state and local organizers to, in the words of a company brochure, 'generate and secure high-quality personal letters from influential constituents to 35 targeted members of Congress.' At the same time, Beckel Cowan managed a mail and phone campaign which produced personal letters, telegrams and patch-through calls to the targeted members' local and Washington, DC, offices. The PR firm built a network of supporters in 35 congressional districts and states. Pharmaceutical companies weren't the only corporations to oppose an improved health care system. The insurance industry went to work to fight against the Clinton health care plan, recruiting PR-man Robert Hoopes. According to Stauber and Rampton, the 300,000 member Independent Insurance Agents of America (IIAA) hired Hoopes as their grassroots coordinator/political education specialist. Campaign Elections magazine reported the IIAA activated nearly 140,000 insurance agents during the health care debate, becoming what Hoopes describes as a new breed of Washington lobbyists, wrote Stauber and Rampton. Hoopes said the lobbyists have behind them an army of independent insurance agents from each state, and members of Congress understand what a lobbyist can do with the touch of a button to mobilize those people for or against them. In Campaign Elections magazine (Killing Health Care Reform, October/November 1994) Thomas Scarlett writes of the insurance companies PR moves, Through a combination of skillfully targeted media and grassroots lobbying, these groups were able to change more minds than the president could, despite the White House 'bully pulpit.'

On Mon, 23 Apr 2001, The Extremist wrote: Funny, since there is not one statement regarding homosexuality in the whole of the New Testament attributed to having been said by Jesus Himself. Wrong, June. The Word of the LORD is crystal clear on homosexuals: The passages you quote are the letters of PAUL (except for Revelations, which was written by John). I am not wrong. Those are PAUL's (and John's) words, not Jesus'. There is not one statement directly attributable to Jesus in the whole of the Gospels regarding homosexuality. So don't presume to put words into Jesus' mouth, because of all the things He condemned, homosexuality is conspicuous by its absence. Corinthians I 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Corinthians I 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Why is it that only homosexuality is picked out of the above list. Why aren't fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, or 'abusers of themselves with mankind' (whatever THAT means) singled out for phobic bashing like gays are? Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Again, why aren't those who adulterers, fornicators, 'unclean' (again, whatever THAT means), lascivious, idolaters, practice witchcraft, and all the others subject to the same sort of organized bashing which is reserved for gays. I particularly note that those who are filled with hatred are mentioned in the above list. And yet you 'good Christians' seem to feel that it's okay to hate gays.

There are many raised eyebrows now re Rosie O'Donnell - and with all her money oh this one kid kept her from getting sleep.tough. She has the money to hire someone who cares about children. These were alleged abused children this it took into her home; long ago I was concerned for this little two year old with teeth knocked out, and bloodied nose and her one duhhh son as he called him a little firstgrader who she maintains is such a dullard - she exposes these children to public ridicule. Mentally there is something wrong with her; it is as though she has been given a truth serum, but I remember that scene from Saturday Night Live where she had part of a nativity scene, the baby Jesus - and holding it above her head to smash on floor? That is funny? Look at track record of that NBC much, murders, contacts with Russian Mafia through murder, OJ, Belushi, and the fat guy and the one who had a nutty wife who killed hi at peak of career? These are nice people? Say this anybody ever check their luggge or planes for drugs? Rosie O'Donnell is sick - mentally and physically I believe - but this pushing, pushing, pushing of these people on innocent children I find to be criminal because it is conspiracy..little kids for toys for these perverts is exactly what the scenario seems to be. Would you let your kid spend a night in Michael Jackson's bed - well this one father got what was it $20 million for leasing out his kid for a night or two.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.projectusa.org/ : for an immigration time-out New York Immigration: How much is enough? Issue 70: April 23, 2001 Recognition of limits is a sign of maturity. Dave Foreman Founder of Earth First +== TIME OUT PROJECT ==+ During last year's presidential campaign, ProjectUSA director Craig Nelsen asked candidate George W. Bush, a supporter of current levels of legal mass immigration, at what point he thought immigration levels should finally be reduced: when U.S. population had reached a billion? Two billion? Three? The future president was stymied (he didn't even know what chain immigration is) -- and has still not answered this important question. To see a video of his humorous non-response, click on the picture of George Bush on the home page of http://www.vdare.com/ The question where do we stop? remains a valid one, however.What makes it so useful? 1. It acknowledges that public policies should be considered in view of their consequences 2. It reminds us that current mass immigration levels will double U.S. population within the lifetime's of today's children and 3. Pro-mass immigrationists like President Bush haven't been able to answer it -- revealing the weakness of their position. +== TAKE POSITIVE ACTION ==+ In another shocking example of irresponsible and short-sighted public policy pronouncements on immigration, Delaware Democratic Senator Joe Biden said Tuesday in an Associated Press report that he supported opening the borders from 'Costa Rica to Canada,' an idea that (Mexican President Vincente) Fox has voiced often since his election July 2. 'There is no reason we can't move in that direction,' Biden said. http://www.sltrib.com/04182001/nation_w/89827.htm (By the way, Mexico routinely deports Guatemalans who are illegally in Mexico). Let the Senator know that there is a very good reason we can't open the borders: the American people don't WANT open borders; and the wishes of the American people should matter more in the formulation of U.S. border policy than corrupt foreign governments and corporate profiteers with vested interests.

The United Nations, with the U.S. supporting it, took the position in Cairo in 1994 that every country was responsible for stabilizing its own population. It can be done. But in this country, it's phony to say I'm for the environment but not for limiting immigration. It's just a fact that we can't take all the people who want to come here. And you don't have to be a racist to realize that. However, the subject has been driven out of public discussion because everybody is afraid of being called racist if they say they want any limits on immigration.

But as you have indicated, your billboard in NY lasted...13 days? Before politicians labeled it racist? I suspect we are up against an elite and entrenched system of money counters who for whatever reason believe that continued unchecked illegal immigration will line their pockets and will deploy whatever labels (racist) and subsequent authority (take that billboard down) against those who would forward the best interests of our nation at the expense of their investment portfolios. What ever happened to the once respected concept of zero population growth? It got in the way of profit, and is now...by our enlightened standards of the new millennia...exposed for it's racist implications.

Now mix those 18,000 in with other black Africians some of whom, ie, one out of three black male in American have AIDS - now add this up and ask why the longivity of blacks in Africa and USA is somewhat lowered? Why the need to ship AIDS infected Africans to USA at rate of 18,000 a year along with others who have it an maybe do not even know it. Well add this to the melting pot - this is bad blood they are importing, right. Then consider the bad blood infested with AIDS/HIV Clinton sold around primaily to Canada?

[CTRL] Fwd: Did Neo Nazis play a role in the Oklahoma bombing?
Nice item here but the only neo nazi propoaanda I ever saw, was in the basement of a restaurant and the property of guess who - The Jewish Mafia - this one guy used to entertain Meyer Lansky, and I think they caused the near murder of Larry Flynt and my old MI6 friend want me to spy on them for the National Enquirer had put up a reward of $50,000 to anyone who could find out what happened to Hoffa. Now I said Okay, I will spy for you and then suddenly I found MY GOD - Meyer Lansky, a Mafia Hit Man named Ralph Deleo living on this guys farm and this guy was a doctor who had been in same prison cell with Jimmy Hoffa who had saved him, Jewish Mafia, from the Italian Mob. Then this other doctor MY GOD he was an assistant county Coroner down a bit from me who had bought the piece they called it, that murdered a third doctor = a Dr. Walter Bond - who was black, whom they only wanted to castrate that Halloween Night. And such was my brief period of spying on what turned out to be the Jewish Mafia and MY GOD - they had all this neo nazi literature. I bungled onto that for I never stumbled onto anything - I bungled onto it and good thing I had friends. So that night on Halloween when this Unholy three, an Assistant County Coroner, a Mafia Hit Man dressed like County Sheriff, and the third doctor who ame as himself - they said they only waned to castrate this doctor when BOOM, the Mafia Hit Man, the Made Man they alled him, why he just suddenly blew him away..now when I figured out who had done what what would you do? For half of $50,000 I am going to play games with this Jewis Mafia - but you know what, bet if that Mafia Made Hit Man (for they make their members in secret see Psalms)..had he not blown away Dr. Bond, they would have left some neo nazi literaure around making it appear as though those darn neo nazis did it, and to tell the truth to me that was the most stupid thing I ever saw.

In light of the fact that Neo-Nazi Organizations like 'The Order' have attempted to infiltrate the American Patriot Movement and spread disinformation in regards to who and what is really behind the one- world conspiracy and the main suspects' connections to the same, and in light of the 'Nazi' influence behind the anti-gun movement as well as behind the FEMA and BATF policies (all 17 ATF agents and several CIA agents just happened to fail to show up for work the day of the explosion), then a possible Nazi connection to this horrific act of Terrorism should not be ruled out: FBI EXPLORING NEO-NAZI LINK TO OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING London (JTA) -- The FBI is investigating claims that there is an inter- national conspiracy behind the April 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City. The Times of London has reported that British and German neo-Nazis are believed to have played a role in the bombing to avenge the execu- tion of Richard Snell, an American neo-Nazi who was put to death on the day of the bombing for murdering a Jewish businessman and an African-American state trooper. Timothy McVeigh, 27, one of the two defendants in the Oklahoma City case, has alleged that there was a European link to the attack. Mc- Veigh's lawyer has traveled here to investigate whether British neo- Nazis provided components for the bomb, which killed 168 people, 19 of them children, and wounded at least 400 others. Three Britons have been sobpoenaed to provide information on the alleged European link. * * * * * * * CONCLUSION: When we consider that the Nazis have control of a large percentage of the Fortune 500 conglomerates (I refer to Nazis, not neo-Nazi's because we are dealing with the original Nazi Party here, and the various institutions and organizations they have established), then we can expect them to seek the implementation of

Subj:WP: Colombian Massacre Large, Brutal Date: 4/21/01 9:37:38 AM Mountain Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Colombian Labor Monitor) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [NOTE: Stop U.S. aid to Colombia now! Over $1 billion of the money for Plan Colombia that is funded by the U.S. goes to the Colombian military. The Colombian military has been implicated time and time again in paramilitary massacres such as the one in Naya. The U.S. and U.S. taxpayers are accessories to what happened in Naya. Contact your elected representatives and demand that U.S. get out of Colombia now! -DG] Paramilitary troops rounded up Naya residents, house by house, and assembled them along the dirt path running into town. Chate said the paramilitary commanders gave his neighbors two chances to answer: Do you know any guerrillas? A machete blow followed the third negative response. WASHINGTON POST Saturday, 21 April 2001 Colombian Massacre Large, Brutal Chain Saws Used By Paramilitaries In Village Killing - By Scott Wilson TIMBA, Colombia -- They brought out the victims using a helicopter with a cargo net dangling beneath. Soldiers wearing rubber gloves and masks unloaded body bags and laid them in the broad shade of an acacia tree. Forensic investigators began to work. By the end of Thursday, the bodies of 12 farmers had been pulled from a war zone near the village of Naya, a daylong walk to the west of Timba in this embattled region 220 miles southwest of Bogota. Ten had been killed by machete; two had been shot. At least one was decapitated, the head still missing. The grim business of preparing the bodies for burial, watched from across a soccer field by the mostly black residents of Timba and clusters of refugees from Naya, followed one of Colombia's largest civilian massacres in years. Beginning the Wednesday before Easter, a squad from Colombia's right-wing paramilitary force entered Naya and its surrounding hamlets. For three days, as the government army tried to reach the jungle town amid fierce fighting, Colombian officials say, paramilitary troops used machetes, guns and chain saws to kill at least 40 civilians. In interviews with some of the 160 Naya families sheltered in the town school, survivors said the number of dead might be twice that amount. Colombian officials, who are continuing recovery efforts, agreed. The only recent killing of comparable size came four months ago in the village of Chengue, where paramilitary fighters killed 26 farmers with stones and a sledgehammer. Apart from its size, the Naya massacre has frightened survivors and top Colombian officials for the way in which the paramilitary group, the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), carried out the killings. The use of chain saws and machetes in Naya, as well as rocks and hammers in other places, suggests a gruesome turn in Colombia's long-running war: As rightist paramilitary forces and the leftist guerrillas whom they battle gain strength, the method of killing has become its own message. Maybe they don't want to waste a single bullet on us, said Rafael Caso, whose 25-year-old son, Wilson, was identified in the open-air morgue, which filled the town with the smell of decomposed bodies. No one knows why they are killing us this way. To clean everyone out is their idea. But why us? In a strategic sense, the savagery advances the AUC's goal of emptying out civilian populations used by guerrilla armies for supplies and support. Paramilitary forces, whom the government blames for the majority of civilian massacres, now have a stranglehold on many areas where they have carried out brutal killings, which they refer to as cleaning. One result is an internally displaced population of more than 2 million people, concentrated mostly in urban centers where the AUC already enjoys a large measure of control. Explaining the rationale behind the AUC massacres, Luz Eugenia Vasquez of the Interior Ministry's human rights office said, 'All men are equal, but communists are not men and so not equal to me.' This attitude negates the theory of human rights that most of the rest of the world subscribes to. Vasquez, who spent Thursday helping identify the first wave of bodies brought here, said the recent savagery echoes a period five decades ago known as The Violence when partisan politics turned into open war. Pregnant women were killed, their breasts cut off, to drive people out of certain regions. Now the rising paramilitary movement has resurrected those tactics. After visiting Naya soon after the killings, Colombia's ombudsman, Eduardo Cifuentes, warned that we have returned to the most barbaric era, and reminded the country

First Chicago/Gary-Wheaton merged about 1990 (I remember because I sold my FNB stock to avoid any reminder of the names Gary (judge {morgan banker -judge} and Wheaton (opium trade follows the crucifix and is converted to satanic gold, gold, gold, gold) The volume of the gold market is much greater than in 1979 ; for a short squeeze to work volume would have to gradually decrease. I've been hearing comments for about 3 years that there is a large short position in gold due to artificially low interest rates. Actually the low rates ( which are directly and linearly ,1:1,related to stock prices, and EMployment and have been since the invention of the automobile which made Oil the new gold ) would have bank rupted the US banks were it not for the salve of money laundering proceeds .(25 billion yearly in US alone ,my low ball estimate which doesnt include ancillary activity which is a factor of at least 3, so a NET 100 billion per year. ALL RIGHT EXPERTS , WATCH THIS ONE: 100 billion per year compounded since 1993 equals the EXCESS dow figure, which gives the real dow or NYSE average, which , when inverted gives the REAL PRICE OF OIL, $40+ per barrel. Since Henry Ford made oil price the swamping figure for the world economy, the Dow has been precisely ,inversely proportional to all of these a)interest rates b) true oil prices c) gold prices outside the US. This is camouflaged by the practice of graphing DOW in NOMINAL dollars and not adjusting for population increase. Otherwise everybody would see it at a glance. China passed us up as the worlds biggest economy last year - we just havent admitted it yet. China can completely dominate our commodities markets at will, though they dont seem bent on that . The action will obviously be at CBOT which is where Jack Darrel Farmer , assisted by FBI introduced the cocaine options contract and the commodity itself in 1983, both re-transported daily from Arkansas by Dan Lasater INC. and parked in SLs owned by politcal figureheads naive to banking and judicially cloaked by Rose Law Firm. You will not find a word about Jack Darrel Farmer anywhere but here, except one 10 most wanted post and the CROWLEY CIA asset list, because the dirty , criminal boy scouts of FBI constantly keep the lid on - and the lower ranks dont like it but they are too selfish-for-their-pension to take any action . The above is fact. I'm witholding the lesser and unnecessary documentary proof to prevent the murder of innocent third parties. I was there. When I wasn't, well placed associates of many years previous standing gave me running accounts. Some went to federal prison for that . At least one was slowly strangled in his cell. One was shot sitting on the toilet. I exist. That's the proof that none ever talked. My interest in this - 25 years worth- is related to the espionage of JOHN ANTHONY WALKER and its cover up; otherwise I couldn't care less. A short squeeze in gold would presently require alot of leverage but one way would be a series of surprise interest rate cuts and a mid east oil crisis- like the sudden appearance of the Chinese army where they dont belong.(ala Hal Lindsay's late great planet earth, which would be useful only as toilet paper were it not accepted as gospel by the present and all previous joint chiefs of staff) Dont bet on gold; it's tainted and Satan's own, and God may be smarter than Dan Quayle.

Oregon voters last November approved a referendum greatly restricting asset forfeiture and requiring that any seized funds be directed to drug treatment instead of law enforcement. Law enforcement officials first tried to overturn the will of the voters in the courts. The Lincoln County drug task force filed suit arguing that the successful initiative was unconstitutionally broad and that it violated federal asset forfeiture laws, but Marion County Circuit Court Judge Pamela Abernathy upheld the ballot measure's legality in a ruling last week. She found that Measure 3 met the proper standards and will continue to be the law, Geoff Sugerman, spokesman for Oregonians for Property Protection, told DRCNet. While attorneys for the measure's opponents vow to fight on, law enforcement is now turning to the legislature for succor. As the Week Online goes to press, Oregon lawmakers are debating a bill that would create a parallel system of criminal asset forfeiture. Crafted by the Oregon District Attorneys Association, the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police, and the Oregon Sheriff's Association, House Bill 3642 would allow asset forfeiture to continue, but would raise the standard of proof to the beyond a reasonable doubt standard for criminal cases. As important for law enforcement, it would allow police agencies to keep some of the seized booty to finance future drug operations. Meanwhile, a bill that would adjust Oregon asset forfeiture statutes to bring them into compliance with the constitutional changes mandated by Measure 3 is tied up in the state Senate. The implementation bill passed the House 46-1 last month. We have been working in good faith to reach a consensus language that would bring the statutes into compliance, said Oregonians for Property Protection member Floyd Prozanski. We thought we had agreement on that, but we found out just a few days ago that some people involved in the process wanted to link the civil forfeiture bill that would correct the shortcomings of the statute to the passage of a criminal forfeiture bill, Prozanski told DRCNet. They're holding it hostage on the Senate side, added the three- term former state legislator. Sugerman told DRCNet that while the passage of the implementation legislation is not necessary for Measure 3's constitutional changes to take effect, it does provide a backstop in the event that an appeals court overturns the Lincoln County case. If we codify these provisions into law, then even were we to lose on appeal, they would still control civil asset forfeiture. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman John Minnis (R-Woods Village), a Portland police detective and opponent of Measure 3, echoed Prozanski's point. If we don't have criminal forfeiture, I'm not inclined to have civil forfeiture, he told the Register- Guard last week. That's exactly what is going on, Sugerman told DRCNet. Although we oppose criminal forfeiture as unnecessary, we have continued to negotiate on it with the understanding that it might pass. If it does pass, we want to make sure that it carries the same protections as Measure 3. The bill has gone from three pages to 33, and there are many issues we think it important to consider, especially the proceeds issue. David Fidanque, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon, told DRCNet his organization has no philosophical objection to criminal asset forfeiture. We've taken the position that forfeiture should rightly be part of the criminal process, said Fidanque. We've always objected to civil forfeiture on the grounds it gave government officials too much power and didn't protect the interests of defendants and innocent third parties. But Oregon police are hoist by their own petard, Fidanque said. Two years ago, there was a legislative proposal to reform civil forfeiture. Law officials said 'no way we're not interested.' They were not even interested in a slightly higher standard of proof, said Fidanque. Now, after Measure 3 was approved, the link between forfeiture proceeds and those who seized them has been severed. And with this criminal asset forfeiture bill, police will have an even higher burden of proof to overcome than was

[CTRL] FC: Ayn Rand in Somalia: No government, but business is booming (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2001/05/maass.htm Ayn Rand Comes to Somalia In the absence of government bureaucracy and foreign aid, business is starting to boom by Peter Maass ... Mogadishu has the closest thing to an Ayn Rand-style economy that the world has ever seen--no bureaucracy or regulation at all. The city has had no government since 1991, when the much despised President Mohammed Siad Barre was overthrown; his regime was replaced not by another one but by civil war. The northern regions of Somaliland and Puntland have stabilized under autonomous governments, but southern Somalia, with Mogadishu at its core, has remained a Mad Max zone carved up by warlords for whom fighting seems as necessary as oxygen. The prospect of stability is a curious miracle, not simply because the kind of business development that is happening tends to require the presence of a government, but because the very absence of a government may have helped to nurture an African oddity--a lean and efficient business sector that does not feed at a public trough controlled by corrupt officials. ... Of course, the lack of a government poses problems, especially with respect to the warlords. Sheikh and his fellow businessmen have kept them at bay by paying them protection money and by forming their own militias. Those manning the machine guns outside Telecom Somalia are employees of the company, and when the firm's linemen go out to lay new cables (they used to string overhead lines, but those got shot up by stray gunfire), they, too, are protected by company gunmen. All of this is costly, so the business leaders have taken steps to bring about a new government--one that will keep its hands out of their pockets and focus on providing security and public services. ... - POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if it remains intact.

[CTRL] [FAIR-L] FCC Moves to Intensify Media Consolidation (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- FAIR-L Fairness Accuracy in Reporting Media analysis, critiques and news reports ACTION ALERT: FCC Moves to Intensify Media Consolidation April 20, 2001 The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is moving to weaken or eliminate two of the few remaining broadcasting rules that protect some degree of media diversity. On April 19, the FCC voted 3-1 in favor of eliminating the dual network rule, which had prevented one television network from buying another. This rule change will immediately benefit Viacom, which will be allowed to own CBS and part of the UPN network. The other rule, expected to be lifted or amended in a matter of weeks, is the cross ownership rule, which prohibits a company that owns a local newspaper from owning a television station in the same market. Waivers have been granted in the past (Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. owns New York television station WNYW and the New York Post, for example), but watering down or eliminating the rule altogether has long been a goal of industry lobbyists. This continues an intensely pro-business trend at the FCC, the government agency responsible for managing the broadcast spectrum and regulating the telecommunications industry. Under the impetus of the deregulatory Telecommunications Act of 1996, the FCC has overseen a period of intense corporate mergers. Since the Telecom Act, the number of television station owners in the U.S. has dropped by half (Los Angeles Times, 4/19/01), while more than half of the 11,000 commercial radio stations have been sold (Silicon Alley Reporter, 3/01). The move to deregulate the media industry continued three years later, as the FCC in August 1999 changed its rules to allow networks to own two television stations in a given market. And last month, FCC chair Michael Powell approved a number of radio mergers that had been marked for public comment by previous Chairman William Kennard (Broadcasting Cable, 3/19/01). The mergers given the green light by Powell would create local monopolies, where one company would control 50 percent of a given market's ad revenue, or two companies would control about 70 percent of total ad revenue. Powell has indicated (New York Times, 4/16/01) that the cross ownership rule will fall as well: I don't know why there's something inherent about a newspaper and something inherent about a broadcaster that means they can't be combined. Given that U.S. newspapers are overwhelmingly local monopolies, of course, mergers between the newspaper industry and the increasingly concentrated broadcast media would mean a dramatic reduction in media diversity at the local level. Guarding and protecting the public interest is supposed to be central to the FCC's mission, but Powell has expressed some confusion about the very concept. When asked in February what he thought the term public interest meant (press conference, 2/6/01), he responsed: I have no idea. The public interest at its core is the same thing as my oath of office: a commitment to making sure the American consumer is benefited I try to make the best judgment I can in ways I think will benefit consumers. Beyond that I don't know. I'm still trying to figure it out. Powell is not always so confused about whose interests he represents: Appearing before the House subcommittee on telecommunications (Washington Post, 3/30/01), Powell referred to broadcast corporations as our clients. Powell has also mocked the concept of unequal access to technology, often referred to as the digital divide: I think there is a Mercedes divide, he said (New York Times, 2/7/01). I'd like to have one; I can't afford one. The FCC's actions under Powell are discouraging for those who advocate for media diversity. Powell has been very clear about his intentions to turn over more and more of the publicly owned broadcast spectrum to already huge media corporations. These moves reaffirm those corporate-friendly principles, said Jim Naureckas of FAIR. The FCC's total lack of interest in protecting Americans as citizens or consumers is shocking and disgraceful. ACTION: Please contact Michael Powell and let him know that media diversity should be a top priority for the FCC, and that media concentration is not in the public interest. Urge the FCC to preserve-- and refrain from weakening-- the rule prohibiting cross ownership of newspapers and television stations in the same market.

[CTRL] [Spy News] Oklahoma City's lost information (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Oklahoma City's lost information http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=22518 Early accounts differ from today's 'official' explanation of bombing By Jon Dougherty C 2001 WorldNetDaily.com An analysis of raw news footage and reports in the immediate aftermath of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City, Okla., shows local television reporters stating repeatedly that two additional, sophisticated, undetonated explosive devices were found by investigators on the scene. The television reports raise questions about the official government version of events that an extremist and his friend acted alone, using a Ryder rental truck and a 1,200-pound ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, or ANFO, bomb to destroy the face of the building. For example, initial news broadcasts by KWTV-9, KFOR TV-5 and Channel 4 News all feature reports confirmed by state, local and federal officials that a total of three bombs had been placed inside the Murrah building. TV news footage showed Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department bomb squad vehicles being brought to the scene within a half-hour of the explosion, amid reports that more bombs have been found by rescuers. Also, reporters at the scene confirmed that the two other bombs were larger than the first one, and that the bomb that had exploded blew up inside -- not outside -- the building. Reports said the other two bombs were found on the east and west sides of the building; the explosion occurred at the front, or north side, of the building. In one clip, the medical director for St. Anthony's Hospital told reporters that local OKC police had informed him that rescue efforts had been called off temporarily because of the other bombs found in the building. . And, TV-9 reported that the U.S. Justice Department has confirmed that other bombs were found in the structure. In subsequent reports, within the first few hours of the explosion, news crews were reporting that federal and local authorities had confirmed that the two other explosives had been defused and moved off site. The 'lone' suspects Timothy McVeigh, now 32, was convicted in 1997 for his role in the April 19, 1995, bombing, and is scheduled to be executed by the government May 16 at a federal prison facility in Terre Haute, Ind. The Justice Department said Friday that bombing survivors and victims' families would be able to view the execution via closed-circuit television. He will be the first federal prisoner executed in 36 years. In 1997, he was convicted in the bombing deaths of 168 people, including 19 children. McVeigh has said he bombed the Murrah building in retaliation for the FBI's raid on a Branch Davidian religious facility April 19, 1993, in Waco, Texas, which led to a fire that killed 80 men, women and children. McVeigh said he did it to give the federal government dirty for dirty. Meanwhile, Terry Nichols, also convicted in 1997 as an accomplice in the OKC attack, is currently serving a life sentence in federal prison. But he also faces Oklahoma state charges of capital murder pressed by prosecutors who have pledged to seek the death penalty. Early news reports indicated government sources were saying that bombs were brought into the Murrah building, and that because they were able to find undetonated devices, authorities would be able to find out who is responsible for the bombing. In one clip, Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating also confirmed the presence of other explosives. The reports I have are that one device was deactivated . [and] apparently, there was another device. Whatever did the damage to the Murrah building was a tremendous . a very sophisticated explosive device. . Keating was heard saying. One TV news report then said that then-President Bill Clinton has called Gov. Keating . and said three FBI anti-terrorist teams were being sent from Washington, D.C., to OKC, ostensibly to investigate the incident. The report further stated that the White House and Justice Department . have said [the bombing] was the work of a sophisticated group . and would have to have been carried out by an explosives expert. McVeigh and Nichols were not explosives experts, critics of the government's official version of events point out. Later in the day and into the next day, details of the official explanations and information that had been witnessed or confirmed early on by news organizations, reporters and authorities handling the rescue efforts began to change. Within 24 hours, federal officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were saying that the explosion had not occurred within the building itself but instead the damage had been caused by a car parked in front of the building, loaded with the ANFO bomb. Soon afterward, the car became a Ryder rental truck and the explosives grew in size, to about 4,500 pounds. Also, officials began to discount the second- and third bomb story, instead focusing only on the outside, north-face explosion as

[CTRL] Truth, Lies, Death, and the US Drug War
-Caveat Lector- http://www.lewrockwell.com/anderson/anderson32.html Truth, Lies, Death, and the US Drug War by William L. Anderson mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Even for the drug war, the recent shoot down of an American missionary airplane over the Amazon jungles of Peru is a low point. As family and friends mourn the killing of Veronica Bowers and her seven-month old child, Charity, the US government continues to cover up its role in this atrocity. In the end, we will once again witness the moral bankruptcy of U.S. policies and will be fed a torrent of lies and more lies. In the first days after this atrocity, there are some things we know, despite attempts by the US and Peruvian governments to spin falsehoods. A small airplane flying two Baptist missionary families from the Peru-Brazil border to the Peruvian city of Iquitos began to be tracked by a U.S. government aircraft, which suspected it to be running drugs. The U.S. plane fed information about the small aircraft to the Peruvian Air Force, which hit the plane with gunfire. Even though one of the bullets shattered the pilots leg, he managed to land the plane in a river, where it floated on pontoons. However, even there, the military plane fired on the aircraft, with a bullet killing Mrs. Bowers and her child. Nearby villagers rescued the survivors. This was bad enough, but what then followed from the US and Peruvian governments was nothing less than an obscenity. First, both governments denied that anything had happened at all and might have succeeded in the cover up except that missionaries in the United States who knew the families began to talk after their companions called to report the news. After it became clear what had happened, the US Government then denied the missionaries plane was tracked by US agents, and the Peruvians, following in the footsteps of their US partners, insisted the plane had never filed a flight plan. It did not take long to expose those statements as falsehoods. First, the airport authorities in Iquitos reported that the missionaries, indeed, had filed a flight plan. Furthermore, contrary to what the U.S. and Peruvian authorities were insisting, the airplanes pilot was in touch with the airport just before being shot down. In other words, the missionaries had followed the rules of flight to the letter; it was the U.S. Government and its Peruvian puppets that were acting lawlessly. To make matters even worse, even after the stricken missionaries had landed, the US government continued to treat them as drug criminals. For example, American authorities detained Jim Bowers for two hours, refusing to permit him to identify his dead wife and child. In fact, it was the Peruvian Air Force that finally flew the survivors to Iquitos after they had realized what had happened. Just how this whole affair occurred unearths yet another dirty secret of the US government. In its zeal to stop the flow of narcotics into this country, the US government has insisted that Latin Americans "do more" to stop drug trafficking. That a US government plane was flying in the area at all, fingering victims to be killed by military jets, is only the tip of the iceberg. As in the early years of the Vietnam conflict, the US government has flooded Latin American counties with "advisors" who work with the armed forces of those nations to raid drug laboratories, destroy crops, and generally wreak havoc on anyone who might get in their way. While Americans usually do not perform the killing, the carnage goes on at the insistence of the US Drug Enforcement Agency and the US Armed Forces. One can only imagine the hatred the common people of these nations have for Americans as they suffer from these various military rampages that are airmailed to them directly from Washington, DC. One of the ironies of this whole ordeal is that the association that sponsored these missionaries, the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism, consists of fundamentalist Independent Baptists who have generally supported the US government in its anti-drug actions overseas. These are very conservative, law-abiding people. (That does not keep the political classes in this country from demonizing them, calling them part of the "religious right" and insisting that they pose a great threat to the rest of us.) No doubt, American authorities will continue to spin this tale to make it sound as though this operation was simply a terrible mistake, trying to lay the blame on Peru and even the missionaries. There will be no apologies. Instead, the government will follow its natural course of action: lie, lie, and lie again. April 23, 2001 William L.

[CTRL] Sub commander to learn fate
-Caveat Lector- Monday, 23 April, 2001, 14:08 GMT 15:08 UK Sub commander to learn fate Commander Waddle has accepted full responsibility Scott Waddle, the commander of the US submarine which sank the Japanese trawler, Ehime Maru, in February, will go before a disciplinary hearing on Monday. In an earlier investigation, Commander Waddle accepted responsibility for the collision between the two boats which resulted in the deaths of nine Japanese students and sailors. Monday's disciplinary hearing, known as an Admiral's Mast, will decide his punishment, although because it is not a court martial, Commander Scott does not face the prospect of imprisonment. His lawyer has said that he will retire with his rank intact, on a full pension, with an honourable discharge. Asked to quit According to one Navy official Commander Waddle will be formally asked to quit the Navy. The non-judicial hearing will start at 0800 (1800 GMT) at Pearl Harbour. Admiral Thomas Fargo, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, told Commander Waddle of the hearing last Friday after accepting the recommendations of three admirals who conducted a formal court of inquiry into the collision. The admirals urged Admiral Fargo to choose an administrative punishment rather than pursue a court martial, saying Commander Waddle had not displayed any malice or criminal intent in the actions that led up to the collision. Behind schedule An earlier investigation at which Commander Waddle testified heard that the submarine would not have been at sea at all were it not for a group of civilian visitors that a retired admiral wanted to take on a tour. It was claimed that there were failures in the sonar tracking of the Japanese ship and that because Commander Waddle had spent so much time with the 16 visitors at lunch the submarine fell behind schedule. Commander Waddle, who had risen swiftly in the US navy, has said that he has received offers of work from the private sector, but before that he plans to travel to Japan to meet the relatives of those who died. ~ foot tapping mentalism for all ages http://www.mp3.com/theehumancannonball A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Sovereignty or Free Trade.
-Caveat Lector- NYTimes April 23, 2001 News Analysis: Biggest Obstacle to Selling Trade Pact Is Sovereignty By DAVID E. SANGER QUEBEC, April 22 Midway through President Bush's first summit meeting, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said he was unfazed by the raucous demonstrations that greeted the 34 leaders trying to turn the Western Hemisphere into a single market. An old infantryman always remembers what tear gas and pot smell like when you walk in the barracks, he joked with reporters, recalling his days as a young Army officer. But for Mr. Bush's new administration, the odors may be the only familiar element of a brew of street protests, domestic politics and foreign policy that merged this weekend at the Summit of the Americas. The meeting represented the third try in seven years to create a giant free-trade alliance from the Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego. As Mr. Bush found, a lot happened at the intersection of trade and politics in the eight years when the Republicans were out of the White House. When Mr. Bush's father left office the term globalization had barely entered the lexicon. Nafta the North American Free Trade Agreement was still under negotiation. The Seattle protests of 1999 were six years away. So starting this weekend, the new president found himself playing what his predecessor once called the three-dimensional chess of trade. He knows he must respond to the swelling emotions on the street that captivate the television cameras, at the same time addressing the fears of developing nations that the Free Trade Area of the Americas is a neutral-sounding term for an imperialist world in which the United States sets the rules and gets the benefits. And more immediately, Mr. Bush must deal with a Congress that is so divided on trade that it is unclear whether the president will get the authority he would need to negotiate the pact he came here to promote. Nor is it obvious how much political capital Mr. Bush will expend on trade in a year when tax cuts and education are higher on his agenda. Mr. Bush brushed that aside today when, appearing with several Latin American leaders and the prime minister of Canada, Jean Chrtien, he made his bottom-line case for the trade pact. In a comment unlikely to strengthen his friendships among America's European and Asian allies, he said he was focusing on a regional accord so that we can combine in a common market so we can compete in the long term against the Far East and Europe. And he revived one of President Clinton's favorite arguments, that democracy and American-style capitalism are now intertwined. In fact, the communique issued today states that any country in the hemisphere that suffers an unconstitutional alteration or interruption of the democratic order will be banned from negotiations over a free trade area. Turning such lofty principles into a real agreement will be a complex task. The biggest problem comes down to one word: sovereignty. The protesters on the street had any number of complaints. Some came to argue that free trade puts the interests of industry ahead of the environment, or that it does nothing to assure that workers get higher wages and the right to unionize, or that it concentrates wealth in the hands of the rich. They said Nafta, which Mr. Bush repeatedly cited as the model for the hemisphere, was actually a disaster for the people who work for low wages in the factories on the Mexican-United States border and for the environment. But among the serious critics of free trade accords, the fundamental problem is that they have no control over the forces that set environmental or labor rules. And they believe that they have been excluded from setting those rules, a feeling reinforced by a recent report by the Leadership Council for Inter-American Summitry, a group of academics and economists. It concluded that the gap between summit promises and accomplishments is so wide as to have created a public crisis of confidence. Mr. Bush said today that he hoped to address that concern by publishing the text of the lengthy document that will eventually form the basis of the Free Trade Area of the Americas. The idea is to answer charges that such accords are written in secret. But Mr. Bush made clear that he would not be deterred, and his tone all weekend conveyed the sense that he was willing to entertain ideas about protecting workers or the environment, as long as they did not slow the pace of commerce. There are some people in my country that want to shut down free trade, he said. And they're welcome to express their opinions. But, he added, it's not going to change my opinion about the benefits of free trade. Sovereignty, though, is not only a worry on the street. It is a concern among Latin America's elected leaders as well, and several made clear that they planned to proceed with enormous care. Brazil's president, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, showed no more enthusiasm for a quick free trade area than
[CTRL] Police Dogs With Metal Teeth
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=004828158212044rtmo=qxbLdRq9atmo=rrrq pg=/et/01/4/22/wbite22.html Metal teeth give US police dog a new bite By David Wastell in Washington AMERICAN police dogs are being equipped with a new weapon in the fight against crime: titanium false teeth designed to improve their bite - and their grip - on anyone trying to escape the law. Apak, an 80lb alsatian attached to a sheriff's department in rural Florida, is one of hundreds of dogs whose snarl has been enhanced by modern dental techniques. Apak was never cuddly, but now when he bares his teeth he presents an unnerving sight: two glinting, metal canines in its upper jaw, tough enough to keep a grip on almost anything that moves. "Before he had these fitted, he was hesitant to bite," said Tim Ellis, a sheriff's department deputy who has worked with dogs in Polk County, 40 miles south of Orlando, Florida, for the past five years. "Both these teeth were damaged and it was interfering with his work. We had to do something to maintain his biting proficiency and getting the titanium teeth fitted seemed the best solution." The fitting of metallic teeth to extend the working life of dogs such as Apak is catching on across America, as the police and military look for ways to save money. It costs less for a dentist to fit Apak's teeth - $600 (£400) per tooth - than it would to obtain and train a replacement animal, which could cost more than $10,000 (£6,800). An estimated 600 dogs a year are equipped with the new teeth, most of them working dogs of one kind or another. Alsatians often break or damage their canine teeth, the four longest and most noticeable teeth in their mouths, during training or when they gnaw on their cages, which can make it painful for them to bite. Jim Watson, the secretary of the North American Police Work Dogs Association, and an expert in training dogs, said: "The four big canines are what you see first when a dog opens its mouth or bares its teeth. So having metallic canines will draw a person's attention and scare them more. If the dog is barking and someone sees the sunlight sparkling on his metal teeth, it may encourage the person to back down." For the same reason, civil rights groups are alarmed at the trend to fit metal teeth, which they say is aimed as much at intimidating people as it is the welfare of the dogs. Emily Whitfield, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union, said: "Innocent bystanders and witnesses to crimes have been attacked by police dogs by mistake. It's bad enough being chased by a dog with just an ordinary set of teeth. Metal fangs just up the ante and seem to us to be overkill." Mr Ellis said it was rare for Apak actually to use its teeth during an arrest because the sight of the dog was usually enough to persuade a suspect to come quietly. "Most people want to surrender to a dog, not be bitten by it, and of the 30 catches we made last year, only two were bitten."
[CTRL] Skull Bones A Charity?
http://www.bear-left.com/original/2001/0422skul.html This is a Charity? The Seamy Underbelly of Skull and Bones Tim Francis-Wright 22 April 2001 It is widely known that George W. Bush, along with his father, George H. W. Bush, are members of the Skull and Bones society since their junior years at Yale. What is not widely known is that Skull and Bones claims to be a public charity and not just a social club. Like every American public charity, its tax returns are open for public inspection: these returns cast doubts on whether Skull and Bones is abiding by the rules that generally govern nonprofit institutions and specifically govern nonprofit organizations. Skull and Bones is one of several senior societies at Yale University. Many of its members have gone on to illustrious careers in politics and business, although some graduates became known for their essentially dissenting views (like William Sloane Coffin). The group dates back to the middle of the 19th century. When Phi Beta Kappa got rid of its oaths and overt symbolism, some Yalies reacted the only way they knew how: they formed a society of their own. Ron Rosenbaum's recent article in the New York Observer described the sophomoric and eerie rituals associated with the initiation of new members. Examples include a graphic reenactment of the rape of Abner Louima by New York City policemen, with initiates playing Mr. Louima. Rosenbaum also took a quick look through a recent tax return filed by RTA, Inc., the nonprofit organization behind Skull and Bones: There [is an] assertion in the 1997 RTA Incorporated filing (Part VI, line 80b) that the organization was not "related through common membership, governing bodies, trustees, officers etc. to any other exempt or non-exempt organization." Contradicting that assertion is information on the filing of the Deer Island Club Corporation. Deer Island is the private island of the Skull and Bones Society, located in the St. Lawrence River. It is the place where Bones members bring their families for summer get-togethers. It is wholly owned and run by Skull and Bones members, apparently contradicting Bones' claim of "no relationship" to another exempt organization, and appearing to contradict the strictly educational and charitable mission for which RTA gets its exemption for Skull and Bones. Both George W. Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush, are members of Skull and Bones. While I always thought it odd that windowless buildings stood in the midst of the Yale campus, there is little inherently wrong with a university having, essentially, a set of upper-class fraternities. At the least, it keeps some people off the streets on Thursday nights, when most of the societies meet. I put little credence in conspiracy theorists who see the combination of blue blood and occult symbolism to be the root of all evil. My objection to Skull and Bones is that it is claiming that it is a public charity under the Internal Revenue Code. While its initiation rites are unseemly, calling its activities to be educational activities worthy of a charitable organization is even more so. I obtained the tax returns for RTA, Inc. for fiscal year 1998 and fiscal year 1999 from the web site www.guidestar.org, which has hundreds of thousands of tax returns available for download. Rosenbaum's article makes an excellent point that the answer to line 80b on the RTA, Inc. return may be fraudulent. However, only nonprofit organizations must make public their tax returns, so a privately held for- profit entity like Deer Island Club Corporation need not reveal anything about its operations or tax returns to the public. I cannot verify his claim that Deer Island is owned solely by Skull and Bones members.

[CTRL] Fwd: New York Passport Agency Dedicates New Passport Processing System
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman For Immediate Release April 20,2001 MEDIA NOTE New York Passport Agency Dedicates New Passport Processing System The New York Passport Agency officially dedicated its new passport issuance system on April 19, 2001 at its office located in the Federal Building at 376 Hudson Street in lower Manhattan. The new issuance system, called TDIS-Photodigitization, introduces new technology that makes the new passport one of the most secure travel documents produced to date. One of the most notable deterrents to passport fraud is the digitized portrait, in which the passport holder's photograph is printed as a digital image into the passport. Ambassador Mary Ryan, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs, made remarks at the ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the new system, joined by Georgia Rogers, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services, and Michael Hoffman, Acting Regional Director of the New York Passport Agency. Ambassador Ryan noted that the photodigitization process allows us to produce a much more secure travel document. She added that all of our passport agencies will be using the new process by the end of this year. The New York Passport Agency has long been known for innovations that have enhanced and improved customer service, Ambassador Ryan remarked. Your continuing commitment to providing efficient and courteous service to the American traveling public is to be applauded. The New York Passport Agency provides passport service to residents of New York City's five boroughs and Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Last year, the Agency issued over 275,000 passports for U.S. citizen travelers. The Agency provides service by appointment only from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. An appointment can be made through its 24-hour automated appointment system at (212) 206-3500. Those traveling in more than 14 days can submit passport applications at one of the over 90 passport application acceptance facilities throughout the Agency's region. Additional information on applying for a passport, including locations of acceptance facilities, passport requirements, passport application forms and other travel-related information, can be accessed through the Bureau of Consular Affairs' website: travel.state.gov (###) *** See http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/index.cfm?id=792 for all press statements To change your subscription, go to http://www.state.gov/www/listservs.html

[CTRL] Ill Captain Blames Anthrax Vaccine
http://www.masslive.com/newsindex/springfield/index.ssf?/news/pstories/tn420an t.html Ill captain blames anthrax Friday, April 20, 2001 By JOHN F. LAUERMAN Where did his health go? That's the question plaguing Capt. Jason M. Nietupski of Longmeadow. Since last year when he received an experimental anthrax vaccine, he has experienced medical problems so serious, they have compelled state Rep. Mary S. Rogeness, R-Longmeadow, to try to prohibit the vaccine's use in Massachusetts. Nietupski, an Army veteran now in the Air National Guard, received the vaccine in February 2000 before going on a joint exercise with Korean military forces. If he had somehow encountered a device laced with anthrax, a lethal bacteria believed to be used in biological weapons, the vaccine could have saved his life. Instead, the vaccine itself is making him miserable, he said. Before receiving his third scheduled booster in March 2000, Nietupski's mouth erupted with sores. He has since been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, liver damage, and blood clots deep in his leg. "He was a top-notch military man," said Rogeness. "Pretty immediately after receiving the injection his health was compromised and has not improved." Nietupski said he has seen 30 doctors since receiving the vaccine a little more than a year ago, and most of them, including the Army's own doctors, concur that his symptoms are somehow linked to the vaccine. What bothers him most, though, is that the Department of Defense refuses to take the problem, or him, seriously. In March, when he went to the Northampton Veterans Affairs Medical Center with swelling in his leg, a physician commented that he was concentrating too much on his medical problems and needed to relax. Later he was found to have blood clots in his leg, called deep venous thromboses, that could have life-threatening implications. Nietupski said he still takes blood-thinners to prevent clot formation. Critics of the Army's anthrax program, who believe there may be thousands of recruits affected like Nietupski, point out that the vaccine has not yet received federal Food and Drug Administration approval, but Army personnel are not permitted to refuse it. Rogeness' bill, which she filed after hearing about Nietupski's case, would prohibit the use of any non-FDA-approved vaccine on members of the military in Massachusetts. "We're trying to override federal regulations, and help out people serving the state," Rogeness said. In February the Pentagon rejected the call by a panel from the U.S. House of Representatives calling for a halt in inoculations, saying that the threat is real and the vaccine is safe. Sue Baily, the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, said at that time that 400,000 troops had been inoculated. Of those, 620 reported adverse reactions, 26 were hospitalized and only six of those were known to be related to the vaccine. The goal is to vaccinate all 2.4 million members of the active and reserve military, Bailey said. Members of the Air National Guard's 104th Tactical Fighter wing based in Westfield received shots in May before heading to Kuwait to fly missions over southern Iraq. Cases like Nietupski's have sparked an outcry in the military and civilian worlds. At an Institute of Medicine panel meeting Wednesday in Washington, D.C., Air Force Capt. John E. Buck, a physician about to be court-martialed because of his refusal to take the vaccine, charged that the compulsory vaccination program amounts to an experiment without the subjects' consent. "The DoD (Department of Defense) has chosen to use our profession as a tool to achieve its military objectives," he said, "and in doing so, has severely compromised the practice of medicine." Meanwhile, Nietupski said the Veterans Administration is ignoring his requests for disability payments, and his plea that it put an end to the vaccine program. "What has happened to me should remain a testament to bad military policy and poor medical research," he said.

In 1965, the dismembered bodies of Fred and Edwina Rogers were found in a refrigerator and freezer at their home at 1815 Driscoll in Houston. Their son, Charles, who was sought as a material witness, was never found, and the case remains uncleared. In the 1992 book The Man on the Grassy Knoll, John R. Craig and Philip A. Rogers linked Charles Rogers to the grassy knoll on Nov. 22, 1963. They also identified him as an Oswald imposter who traveled to Mexico City the month before the assassination and who took a used car for a test spin in Dallas two weeks before the president's death. The authors claim sharpshooter Rogers and Charles Harrelson, later convicted in the slaying of federal judge John Wood (and the father of actor Woody Harrelson), fired simultaneously at Kennedy from behind a picket fence. Fleeing to a boxcar, they were arrested along with another man and detained for two hours. Among conspiracy theorists, they are the famous three tramps whose release -- with no written record remaining of their arrest -- provides even more fodder for speculation about a conspiracy in Kennedy's death. In 1992, however, Dallas researcher Mary La Fontaine searched the Dallas Police Department records and found the arrest records of three men who were indeed tramps. They were identified as Harold Doyle, Gus Abrams, and John Forrester Gedney. But authors Craig and Rogers raise doubts as to whether these three men were the only ones taken in after the president's killing. Whatever the case, the place the grassy knoll holds in the minds of anyone who remembers or investigates the Kennedy assassination is not about to dim soon. Visit Dallas, and you will find conspiracy buffs of all sorts hanging out there, expounding their theories, selling their leaflets and newspapers, pointing out the landmarks. You can even stand behind the picket fence and get a view of what a killer -- maybe the killer -- saw on Nov. 22, 1963. The grassy knoll is a place for thought.

I didn't see much of the city, what I DID see, it looked pretty much like most other cities, no better, no worse. I found the natives pretty friendly, though...but I didn't have time to mingle all that much... If they don't want outsiders coming there to visit the site of the assassination, then they shouldn't have put up the JFK memorial in the middle of Dealy Plaza, replete with map pointing out the ex-Schoolbook Depository, the Grassy Knoll, etc. That's the only way I actually knew I was smack in the middle of the sitenone of the area maps provided by the hotel mentioned Dealy Plaza et al...I and my companion were just strolling back from Texas Alley, and thought that the memorial was just a memorial put up by the city to commemorate the event...if we hadn't have read the text and seen the map in the memorial, we would have gone on back to the hotel figuring it was just some memorial. We would have never known we were at ground zero... BTW, the third 'tramp' looks very much like E. Howard Hunt, well-known CIAoperative and Nixon croney. And where was Nixon on that fateful day.

Re: [CTRL] Skull Bones A Charity??
-Caveat Lector- Perhaps this is just a question of semantics? For instance Ms. Rosenbaum does not know the meaning of the word Charity which is best described, as brotherly love. Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love. We are getting into old Enlglish meaning here; for instance the old print I have of the Hells Fire Club, entitled Charity in the Cellar. The Boys have had a meeting and have fallen into masonic state of brotherly love but it took a hogshead of wine, to so do. We have a statute of Charity, or the many Breasted Diana (and that is straight out of Acts 19)..taking for form of a pyramid, Lord Sandwich has almost a halo of light about his sweet kind face; Thomas DeGrey is passed out on a bench in this cellar with wine dripping in his mouth. Dashwood, my favorite looks also like a Holy Man. But they bowed not to leave that basement until they had drunk up all the wine and there were at 8 hogs heads or kegs - this one man I knew a lawyer, who later had a submachine gun and tried to rob a casino in Vegas came into my office once to see this print and said Wow, what an armory. Brotherly Love, thy name is Charity and Charity means also simply kindness. Now Ms. Rosenbaum would do well to check into this ADL or Morris Dees? Southern Poverty Stricken Law Center now worth over $100 million mostly stolen from poor farmers whom they first put on hate hit lists - members of militiar, etc. Dees was on TV again the other night but I want to hear what he has to say about his former wife charging him with homoseual conduct and molesting their daughter... And this Marc Rich an ADL - that ADL who put militias and christians and poor moslems on FBI Hit Hate List - those people took $200,000 from Rich for him to get a pardon? Nothing done here and I mean what the hell would the IRS say about this one? Bribe money - is that taxable. Do they tax Clinton, and tax ADL and tax Rich or just throw them all in the slammer like they would us poor white folk or men in militia had they tryed to pull this off. Now what about the little Church in Indianpolis who paid their employees with church donations and tell me - are charitable donations tax exempted and wouldn't these employees have been better off to take donations than wages as members of the Church as a priest or nun does? Why Skull and Bones; today they admit anybody and Phi Beta Kappa I met this guy would could not spell and a real moron, but he went to Morehouse and made Phi Beta Kappa. Like Lincoln, did he go back to the law or back to splitting rails where he belonged? Now then we have the Fraternal Order of your Friendly Police - a strict benevolent association - more brotherly love..yet, the intimidate candidates running for public office and I knew this one Judge who told them once to go to hell - and the other said day before election he knew police often lied on the stand, but prove it? Fraternal Order of Police - Brotherly Love. Like the Masons now that is real brotherly love - for when you find a mason, you find gambling, drinking, chasing wild women (like Martin Luther King Jr. chasing naked lady down hall in motel - black mason) Not that was sisterly love.indiscreet, yet. Who the hell in a modest income bracket would want to join a fraternity with the super rich; most super rich I have known seem to like to share the wealth and I have worked for several millionaires plus - they share their private lodges with their friends and employees, their islands, yachtsmaybe a little cheap sometimes paying out salaries, but if Uncle Sam didn't take a third of your earings.. So what the hellSkull and Bones like looking for great pirates like a Jon LaFite, who has grandson in New Orleans Mafia, a Lt. Maybe gone up ranks a bit now. Think this secret society would let you snoop in their lodges This Rosenbaum would do well to investigate such a society as the ADL where much thievery of others people's money goes on. Brotherly Love? Charity in the Cellar? Fronts often fo something else, rings and things..but Skull and Bones was a Christian Association and I suppose now they will be put on ADL's Hate Hit List - can't have wealthy Christians around rocking the boat. Get the picture? The Rockefellers have lot two of their own, Nelson and John and since that time that big fat assed Kissinger has moved into their shoes.Lawrence Rockefeller and the Prince of the Netherlands are so old now they probably wear training pants with Kissinger. For this, is Zionismlook around and see the fascists in disguise who kill the semitesthe real semites in the Holy Land..how is that, for brotherly love? All jews and arabs in Holy Land as I understand it believe they are brothers; for all Kings are brothers in the long run. Doesn't anybody really care what is going on .. Hitler aka Heidler aka Schicklegrubber aka Hister is alive and well..he was a fascist in disguise - no, he as an Ashkenazi
[CTRL] Secret U.S. Debate over Intelligence Sharing in Peru and Colombia
National Security Archive Update, April 23, 2001 *Shoot Down in Peru: The Secret U.S. Debate over Intelligence Sharing in Peru and Colombia* http://www.nsarchive.org/NSAEBB/NSAEBB44 On Friday, April 20, 2001, a Peruvian Air Force jet, acting on intelligence supplied by a U.S. intelligence plane, shot down a civilian aircraft that was mistakenly suspected of being part of a drug trafficking operation. An American missionary and her infant daughter were killed in a hail of gunfire, and the Bush administration immediately suspended all U.S. drug interdiction flights over Peru. The National Security Archive has obtained through the Freedom of Information act declassified U.S. government documents pertaining to the policy debate that arose after the governments of Peru and Colombia announced their intention to use weapons against civilian aircraft suspected of carrying illegal narcotics. The current policy on the sharing of aerial tracking intelligence with Peru and Colombia was formulated in 1994, but not without a significant amount of debate within the Clinton administration, some of whom warned that, mistakes are likely to occur under any policy that contemplates the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight, and that, A shootdown leading to the death of innocent persons would likely be a serious diplomatic embarrassment for the United States. The debate resulted at first in the suspension of real-time aerial tracking assistance with the two governments, but the suspension was soon lifted after vigorous opposition from the State Department and especially from the embassies in Lima and Bogotá. The declassified documents featured in this Electronic Briefing Book provide a revealing glimpse of the priorities that Clinton administration officials weighed during this episode, and expose deep interdepartmental divisions about the appropriateness of the U.S. response. The administration ultimately decided that the best course of action was to alter the existing U.S. law to allow U.S. aerial tracking data to be used in operations against suspicious aircraft if the President has determined that such actions are necessary because of the threat posed by drugtrafficking [sic] to the national security of that country and that the country has appropriate procedures in place to protect innocent aircraft. This policy did not seek a solution to the international legal problems raised by the forcedown policy, but rather sought to reduce the [United States governments] exposure to criticism that such assistance violates international law. http://www.nsarchive.org/NSAEBB/NSAEBB44 ___ THE NATIONAL SECURITY ARCHIVE is an independent non-governmental research institute and library located at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Like Wu, a friendly fascist who is proud of his determination to protect you from yourself. Even if it means killing you or stealing your rights, your freedom and your property. He's happy to keep drugs on playgrounds so your kids can easily get them. And of course he continues throwing billions of your tax dollars at a thus far unanalyzed, unjustified prohibition. That's the bottom line on Earl Blumenauer folks. Yet another crafty politician but certainly no leader, no friend of the poor or minorities. He obviously does not want our votes in Nov. 2002. But we all knew that right? Well you may have thought you knew, but if you recall it was the League's Drug Peace Delegation, who 30 days ago was the first to ask Rep. Blumenauer the central question: DRUG WAR, OR DRUG PEACE? So it was really never official. Until now. Thanks to JT, Cloi, Crystal, Cory, Reta and little Codie, brave heroes for Drug Peace! So where were you? Perhaps you may not have been notified? Portland's press and media could not be bothered with reporting something so insignificant as law makers encouraging government's war on their own people. For weeks notices have been going out almost daily, to among others, The Oregonian, The Portland Tribune, Willamette Week, The Rocket, The Mercury, The Portland Observer, The Skanner, The Alliance, even the Oregon Peace Worker, radio and TV of course. Please make inquires and find out why the Drug Peace Vigils are being ignored. (Contact info. follows.) In the next 2 weeks the delegation shall conclude this first phase of the Drug Peace Vigil. On Friday we return to Senator Gordon Smith, followed by Sen. Ron Wyden the week after. The question to both remains: DRUG WAR, OR DRUG PEACE? Recently it has been suggested by one influential Oregon activist that she does not believe these vigils are effective. Perhaps she is right and as I have stated repeatedly it all depends on YOU. Understand that for everyone who participates in these actions the Congressman and Senators know it means there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of their constituents who agree with us. Can you imagine the impact of 100 peaceful people descending upon Sen. Gordon Smith, silently yet clearly demanding Drug Peace? In the end even that may not change his mind, but it will certainly give him and his cohorts pause for thought come Nov. 2002. Remember WE can not create a movement without moving. It is much easier to dismiss 5 or 6 anti-drug war zealots such as myself. But if we can put 100 or more citizens on their doorstep, then these guys will know we are influencing thousands of voters. Please keep that in mind. Please do something to help end the drug war as often as you can until we achieve a real and lasting Drug Peace!

[CTRL] CHINA: The Deal for the US hostages.

China really wants the next Olympic Games. The US threatened to scuttle that possibility. I would bet a nickel that China was promised no interference by this administration. Nurev Monday April 23 6:05 PM ET Bush Turns Down Aegis Sale to Taiwan for Now By Randall Mikkelsen WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush turned down for now a decision on whether to sell Taiwan the sophisticated Aegis naval defense system to Taiwan, deciding on Monday to sell less advanced weapons, a congressional source said. The president would sell Kidd class naval destroyers rather than Arleigh Burke class destroyers that could be fitted with the Aegis system staunchly opposed by China, a congressional aide said. The aide said he learned of Bush's decision from the administration. The president had decided to ``defer a decision on the Aegis, not deny it,'' he said. China has also opposed any Kidd sale, but is known to be most concerned about the Aegis system, which it fears could eventually put Taiwan under a U.S. missile defense shield. The decision effectively keeps the Aegis system as a bargaining chip in U.S.-China relations, which have been strained by a dispute over the collision of a U.S. spy plane and Chinese fighter jet. The United States will also sell Taiwan 12 P-3 ``Orion'' anti-submarine aircraft and help it to buy eight diesel submarines, the source said. The White House declined immediate comment on the source's disclosure. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer had said earlier a Taiwanese delegation would be notified on Tuesday during a visit to the Pentagon. Strains in the U.S.-China relationship, heightened by a dispute over the recent collision of a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese jet fighter, have given Taiwan's annual arms shopping list increased significance this year. China views Taiwan as a breakaway province, and has said any advanced weapons sales to Taiwan would have a ``devastating impact'' on U.S.-China relations. Taiwan had asked for four $1 billion Arleigh Burke Class destroyers equipped with Aegis defense systems designed to detect and attack dozens of missiles, aircraft and ships at once. Administration security officials had recommended that Washington instead sell the older and less-sophisticated Kidd Class destroyers to Taipei instead of the Arleigh Burkes, though China has also opposed sales of the Kidd destroyers. Also on Taiwan's shopping list were the diesel-electric submarines of German or Dutch design with U.S. technology, an advanced Patriot antimissile defense known as PAC-3, and the P-3 maritime search and anti-submarine aircraft. Experts say Bush may warn China that it must stop stationing missiles along its coastline targeted across the South China Sea at Taiwan. China objects to the sale of these weapons under a U.S. law that requires presidents to provide for Taiwan's legitimate defensive needs even though Washington recognizes Beijing as the sole legitimate government of China. Chinese officials will not be told of Bush's decision before it is announced to Taiwan, U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Mary Ellen Countryman said. Due to China's opposition, decisions on U.S. arms sales to Taiwan are almost always politically sensitive. But Bush's decision is even more touchy following the April 1 collision of a U.S. Navy EP-3 reconnaissance plane and a Chinese fighter off China. The fighter crashed, killing the pilot. The crippled four-engine U.S. plane landed at a Chinese base and China held the 24-member crew for 11 days. Beijing has refused to return the aircraft, a move that has hardened the views of some members of the U.S. Congress on accelerating the modernization of Taiwan's military. The United States said talks in Beijing over the damaged $80 million EP-3 were productive but that further discussions would be conducted on whether, when and how the plane might be returned. Chinese Embassy spokesman Zhang Yuanyuan said last week U.S.-China relations would be damaged if Washington decided to sell any advanced weapons to Taiwan. This did not just apply to the Arleigh Burkes, but to other less sophisticated weaponry. The disputes, coinciding with stepped-up U.S. criticism of China's human rights record, have contributed to a rocky start for Bush in his relations with the Communist giant. = A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] As was in the days of Noah....
Dear Newswatch Magazine Listeners/Readers: Jesus made a statement concerning His second coming in Matthew 24 that the masses in Christianity apparently have missed. He said that as in the days of Noah, so it would be in the last days signaling His return. Because of Satan's deception called evolution, the world looks upon the past as being primitive only. However, this was NOT the case. Satan and his fallen angels do not want you or me to discover the truth concerning THEIR PAST CONDUCT! He had direct access to God's technology. He and 1/3rd of the angels that rebelled had knowledge far beyond the first parents - Adam and Eve. A book that was not a part of the Bible but gives further insight into what happened before the flood is called The Book of Enoch. This book even names some of the fallen angels that descended in a PLANNED physical, intervention into human affairs which God the Father and Jesus the Son had forbidden. Part of this rebellion is very briefly mentioned in Genesis 6:1-4. In Genesis 6 we see the sons of God [which are angels in EVERY reference in the Old Testament] crossing the sexual barrier and producing giants as offspring. God has forbidden the crossing geneticly of different KINDS. Angels were NOT to cross breed with human females. You can read the traditions handed down from ancient times in Greek Mythology. There is more truth to it than many think. Not only did these fallen angels, who came down in the days of Jared [Genesis 5:18], cross the forbidden sexual barrier, but they began to teach the human race witchcraft, sorcery, gene splicing, genetic engineering in order to combine two species - such as half man and half goat, half horse and half sheep, etc. The human race knew that a savior was to come along with the kingdom of God. When these angels left their first estate [Jude 6] and descended to earth, the human family believed the kingdom of God was being established with supernatural beings in control. These angels and their half-human and half-angel offspring began to claim to be gods [Genesis 4:26]. They began to geneticly alter the food supply. They taught humans to perform these alterations that was not compatible with human digestion. Therefore, they would eventually destroy the human race through which the one seed or Messiah was to come. It was very subtle, diabolical! The fallen angels had a two pronged front to destroy the Messiah BEFORE He was to be born. 1) Pollute the gene pool of human beings, so the Messiah would not have a PURE seed line from the human family; 2) Corrupt and destroy the human food chain, so the human race would become defective and infertile. Through the mind of Satan and his friends, they thought they could so corrupt the human race that the promise made to Adam and Eve of a Messiah coming through their physical, human seed would become impossible. The Messiah would eventually come as the Son of God and the Son of man because the Holy Spirit proceeded OUT FROM THE FATHER and impregnated Mary - therefore human and Divine. The Word became flesh [John 1:1-3, 14]. God raised up Enoch to preach to these angels that had left their first estate concerning their fate and the coming kingdom of God [Jude 14-15 and The Book of Enoch]. Enoch and others did not have a polluted gene pool. God sent a vision to Noah's father that his son was to be different from others and have three sons who would save the world [Book of Enoch]. The Bible tells us WHY Noah came on this side of the flood with three sons and their wives. In Genesis 6:8-9 we are told that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Noah was a JUST man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 1)Noah obeyed God in ALL of His Laws. 2) God administered grace [unmerited favor] to Noah because of obedience to Him. 3) Noah's gene pool had not been corrupted by cross-breeding with fallen angels. He was PERFECT in his pedigree - genetic makeup! Satan is once again on the move in allowing men to learn cloning and gene splicing to corrupt the food chain. By producing corrupt food supplies that are feed to humans and animals that eventually become food for humans, they will again render mankind sickly. The inability to digest properly the geneticly altered food will cause cancer growths in cattle, sheep, goats and humans. The ILLUMINATI, worshippers of Lucifer or Satan, has as a goal to make and keep the human race weak and sickly. They can control us more easily when we are sick. Therefore, they are bent on genetic engineering of the food supplies. THIS PROVES THAT WE ARE THE LAST GENERATION IN WHICH CHRIST MUST COME TO PRESERVE LIFE ON THIS PLANET. Sincerely, David J. Smith -end article- - -The Extremist Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; my rock and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues the peoples under him. -Psalm 144:1,2

Joshua2 === Europe founded by a few hundred Africans, study finds Genome research at the Whitehead Institute By EMMA ROSS, Associated Press EDINBURGH, Scotland (April 21, 2001 3:00 p.m. EDT) - Modern Europeans, and possibly populations in other regions of the world, are descended from just a few hundred Africans who left their homeland as recently as 25,000 years ago, new research suggests. The findings, reported at the start of a conference of the Human Genome Organization, the international collaboration researching the genetic makeup of the human race, provide the first estimate of how many people founded Europe. They are also a blow to the theory that modern humans evolved simultaneously in Africa, Europe and Asia from multiple early humans. I think this certainly rules that out, at least in respect to Europe, said study leader Eric Lander, director of the Whitehead Institute/Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Genome Research. We're not sure whether this was just the founding of Europe or whether, in fact, this small bottleneck represents all the people leaving Africa. Lander's study involved comparing about 300 chromosomes from people in Sweden, central Europe and Nigeria. The differences in the genetic pattern between the European and African chromosomes revealed how long ago Europeans left Africa and about how many there must have been. The pattern showed that the Europeans were descended from fewer ancestors than the Africans - an evolutionary bottleneck, Lander said. It's hundreds, not thousands, Lander said. The Nigerian chromosomes had been well shuffled around, which indicates a wide gene pool and a long breeding history, while the European chromosomes had long stretches of unshuffled genetic material, indicating a much smaller number of chromosome types entering the mix. Eddy Rubin, a scientist who was not involved in the study, said he thinks the findings are accurate. The evidence is overwhelming that present-day Europeans come from a very small group that stayed small for a while, then expanded, said Rubin, head of the human genome center at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley.

Plus, the benefits of landing in here. THE POINT. Now from Washington, Greta Van Susteren. GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: What exactly is the war on drugs? We've been talking about it as a nation for years, debating it, spending a lot of money on it. But where does this war begin? Here at home or tens of thousands of miles away? There is new reason to bring this up again, and it's a horrifying one. Tonight's Flashpoint -- The Drug War: Where Should the Battle Lines Be Drawn? A tragic case of mistaken identity. Peru shoots down a missionary plane similar to this one in the mistaken belief it carried drugs. Now the White House is questioning Peru's actions. But Peru says its military acted properly. Whoever is to blame, an American woman and her 7-month-old daughter are dead, and Washington is wrestling with renewed doubts about an expensive and long-running battle with no end in sight. The war on drugs has sparked interest far beyond Washington's corridors of power. Hollywood has embraced the subject with two drug- related movies in theaters right now. The latest is Blow, with Johnny Depp playing a true-life drug dealer making easy money. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, BLOW) JOHNNY DEPP, ACTOR: 36 hours. PAUL REUBENS, ACTOR: 36 hours -- I don't believe we got rid of it in 36 hours. DEPP: It's fair to say you underestimated the market, Derek. REUBENS: Right on. It's going to take us longer to sell it than it did to sell it. (END VIDEO CLIP) VAN SUSTEREN: The movie Traffic takes a grittier approach, and covers the war from Washington to Tijuana.

(END VIDEO CLIP) (END VIDEO CLIP) VAN SUSTEREN: Both films, by the way, focus on the war on drugs being waged internationally, south of our border, which again raises the question being argued in this country on a daily basis: Where do we draw the battle lines? We've assembled our POINT panel and we're ready to tackle this divisive topic. Ray Kelly, a former U.S. customs commissioner, joins us from New York. On the West Coast, Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters joins us from Los Angeles, along with, Kenneth Bucchi, a former CIA narcotics agent. And from Miami, Edna Buchanan, a Pulitzer Prize- winning writer for The Miami Herald, and of course, the author of the novel You Only Die Twice. Welcome to all of you. Let me first start with you Ken. Dead woman, dead child -- Americans, some say, may have seemed to wash their hands and is blaming it on the Peruvian government, the military. What's your reaction to what happened, Ken? KENNETH BUCCHI, FORMER CIA NARCOTICS OFFICER: Well, first of all, I think that long before you ever enter into such an agreement with another country you have to have an absolute signed written agreement as to what the protocol is going to be when you intercept one of these aircraft. There should have been something not unlike a Dash one that a pilot has in his aircraft that says, you know, here's the criteria by which we intercept, here are the -- here are the rules of

Why do you come here to focus on something that happened decades ago?!! I think it has something to do with trying to learn the truth. BTW, I did not think Dallas was that pretty, and the air was so polluted that I could not wait to leave. Most people I met were very unfriendly as well. While living in San Antonio and San Angelo I heard the natives joke about Dallas being Texas' Ellis Island. Most immigrants stay near there there. I remember a fine example of bathroom graffiti: Help beautify Texas. Put a Yankee on a bus headed north. I also bought a t-shirt in Big D that said Welcome to Texas. Now go home. Yep. I preferred the Tex-Mex hospitality of San Antonio. -- ´´ Mark McHugh A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] The Drug War: Where Should the Battle Lines Be Drawn? (Excerpt)
-Caveat Lector- (Here are the key comments from the CNN transcript. Maxine Waters is a Democratic Congresswomen from California who is not afraid to take on tough issues like the CIA and their complicity in the drug trade. --SW) VAN SUSTEREN: Welcome back. We're debating the war on drugs in the U.S, and where the boundaries should be drawn. Joining us again are former customs commissioner Ray Kelly, Representative Maxine Waters, former CIA Narcotics Officer Kenneth Bucchi, and crime writer Edna Buchanan. Ken, to you: exactly what did you do as a CIA narcotics officer to fight this war? BUCCHI: It's hard to be exact. I'm sure Congresswoman Waters will not like what I have to say. And I will agree with you, I want to say up front, Congresswoman. But, we basically had a complicit operation, a quid pro quo, if you will, with the drug lords of Colombia and essentially, what we did is we put the lion's share of the market in small cash of drug lords hands, and we sent up corridors with ILS systems for those drugs to flown in and then we took half of them. VAN SUSTEREN: So, actually... WATERS: See? VAN SUSTEREN : ...in bed with the drug dealers in South America. BUCCHI: Yes. Now, understand where I'm coming from. I want to back up. There're a lot of ground has been covered here, and I'm a little concerned about what it is we think we are doing right now in South America. No one in their right behind can believe for a moment that the Colombian government gives a crap about Susie and Tommy doing cocaine in America. They care about whether or not they will maintain power in that country. They maintain that power because we supply them with weapons. We supply them with weapons on the guys we want to fight drugs. But the reality is, we care more about who the drug dealer is, not that the drugs are coming here. Meaning, that drugs beget power. You derive a certain amount of political power from the money that's generated from those drugs and we care about who those people are. VAN SUSTEREN: Ken, who are these contracted employees of the CIA? BUCCHI: I don't that. I'm not the best qualified to talk about that, but I think that's just another example of how, the more you compartmentalize things, the more as a government, you can step back and say, we are not responsible. WATERS: That's right. BUCCHI: We are doing that right now with this downing of this aircraft. To me, this should have been strict guidelines -- long before we have the military of Peru coming in and intercepting this aircraft, we get the tail number, we check it out, so that we are not reporting an aircraft that may be a civilian flight. And the thing is, here's the thing: these contractors I'm sure are paid based upon their success rate and the success rate comes about by way of numbers of aircraft that they intercept. I'm hearing things such as 60 percent of the drugs are being stopped coming out of Peru. Does anybody in America today feel like 60 percent of the drugs came off their streets? (CROSSTALK) WATERS: Ken, I want to thank you for being the clearest voice that I have ever heard coming out of the CIA or any of the related agencies about what is going on in this drug war. Thank you, thank you, thank you! BUCCHI: You are welcome. [clip] VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Before we run out of time, let me ask a quick question of Ken. Ken, what do you think would be the most shocking thing you could say about the drug war itself in South America that the American people don't know about that the CIA is doing? BUCCHI: Well, I think the most shocking thing would not be that. I think the most shocking thing to people would be that it would probably be considerably more efficient and cheaper if we just went down to Colombia and bought all the drugs ourselves. But, you know, ultimately, the stuff is marked up 10, 20-fold by the time it gets here, and the Colombians are becoming billionaires, but we're spending $19 billion a year fighting it. And the states are matching those funds. It's ludicrous. For every dollar you spend on treatment, you spend 23 times that in stopping from coming to the country. But what they'd be most surprised about is that there is a complicity. Meaning, you talk about our borders being a sieve. Why is it during the entire Cold War we never had one nuclear bomb put on Cessna and flown in? I mean, it'd be a heck of a lot more likely to penetrate our borders than launching one from Russia. I don't know why... (CROSSTALK) VAN SUSTEREN: That's going to have to be our last word, unfortunately, Ken, and all of you. I'd love to bring you all back to talk about this topic because, obviously, this is a war that's going to go on for some time. WATERS: Please do, Greta. And bring Ken back for certain so that he can help us to understand what really goes on. VAN SUSTEREN: And I'll bring all of you back. Ray Kelly, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Kenneth Bucchi and Edna Buchanan, thank you all very much. ANOMALOUS IMAGES
