Secondly, the people you ask about do not want benefit. That would be healthy and they do not want a thing to do with emotional, spiritual or genetic health. Why? I'm not sure, except that healthiness has nothing in common with control, which they need. It all has to do with fear, and with them being either very young souls or very old (but sickly) souls. They may be neither young nor old souls -- just patient souls who are allowing confused brains to do what they wish. I think that's why some form of alien contact may be a necessary component to ensure the survival of mankind. If left to our own devices, I think we would always have these confused, power-hungry souls who either do the wrong things for the right reasons, or the wrong things for the selfish reasons. Eventually I think things like alien sightings, crop circles, and close encounters can get the attention of even the most dispicable hard-head. Therefore, that's why I think certain physical events are necessary for our collective ascension.

Re: [CTRL] Leader's killing 'means open war'
-Caveat Lector- Amelia wrote: -Caveat Lector- Leader's killing 'means open war' Israel steps up its assassination policy with a missile attack on the most senior Palestinian leader to die during the intifada Suzanne Goldenberg in Ramallah, and agencies Tuesday August 28, 2001 The Guardian Israel yesterday claimed the highest ranking victim of its assassination policy since the Palestinian uprising began, killing the leader of the Popular Front for the Libertion of Israel with two missiles sent through the window of his office in a Ramallah apartment block. Mustafa Zibri, universally known as Abu Ali Mustafa, died working alone at his desk. The office is on the first floor of a block of flats in a well-do-do residential area. Shortly after his death at 11.15am the PFLP's military wing said that as an initial response one of its groups had shot and wounded an Israeli settler near the settlement of Itamar. A settlers' spokesman said the motorist was critically wounded. To many Palestinians Mustafa had iconic status. The Marxist faction he led was once second only to Yasser Arafat's Fatah organisation. Thousands took to the streets in protest and there were calls for revenge from across the political spectrum. The explosions shattered windows and mirrors in adjoining rooms, but otherwise, apart from scorch marks above the north and east facing windows of his corner office, the building was eerily unscathed. Mustafa was by far the highest ranking of the 40 Palestinians assassinated by Israel since the intifada began. Arguably he was the most significant since 1988, when Israeli commandos killed Mr Arafat's lieutenant Abu Jihad in Tunis. His assassination was a departure from Israel's strategy, which has so far focused on eliminating activists of Mr Arafat's Fatah and the Islamist group Hamas rather than members of leftwing factions. His wake at a town hall a few blocks away reflected his senior status. Leaders of Palestinian groups from Hamas to the leftwing Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine paid their respects. At first there was a sense of shock, but now there is a sense of vengeance, the DFLP leader, Qais Abu Laylah, said. When people in the top Palestinian leadership are targeted by Israel I don't think there is any place or range for what you may call moderation. This is an open war. Palestinians regarded Mustafa as a strictly political figure. Born to a humble family near the West Bank town of Jenin, he was for years the right hand of the veteran leader George Habash. An opponent of the peace accords with Israel, he returned from exile, with Israel's permission, in 1999, and succeeded to the leadership of the PFLP 16 months ago. Once the second largest faction in the PLO, the PFLP has been on the sidelines in recent years as Hamas and other Islamist groups strengthen their hold. But it has been an emerging military force in the uprising, and carried out a string of car bombings in Israel. None caused Israeli fatalities. The Israeli army said Mustafa was directly responsible for the car bombings. Its statement said he invested most of his energy in establishing covert underground military cells of the PFLP. But it offered no proof that he was dir- ectly involved. Mustafa was killed only hours after the prime minister, Ariel Sharon, convened his closest cabinet ministers, including the foreign minister, Shimon Peres, to order an increase in the assassination of Palestinian activists. A potential successor to the PFLP leadership, Abdul Rahim Maluah, said the strategy would backfire. The Israelis have gone through all the red lines when they assassinate a person like Abu Ali Mustafa, he said. This has reached the highest levels of the Palestinian leadership and they must know beyond a doubt that their decision will have consequences. In addition to the prominence of the target, yesterday's attack stood out for its sheer audacity. Three of the eight flats in the building attacked are occupied by Palestinian families holding US passports. I was sitting at my desk drawing a rose, and then went out to get a banana from the kitchen for Haneen, said Leila Daas, 10. We were just at the door when the blast happened, and then we all started running and screaming. Mustafa's neighbours said they had little to do with him, and had assumed his presence in the building did not compromise their safety because he was a political leader. But his bodyguard, Fadi Abu Salah, said he had been acting like a hunted man for months: staggering his arrival at the office and changing vehicles. The Israelis possess high technology. They have satellites and their collaborators and spies. It is obvious that a well known leader will always be followed by Israel, and by collaborators, he said.

[CTRL] Fwd: Hypnosis may give false confidence in inaccurate memories
HYPNOSIS MAY GIVE FALSE CONFIDENCE IN INACCURATE MEMORIES SAN FRANCISCO - A new study suggests that hypnosis doesn't help people recall events more accurately - but it does tend to make people more confident of their inaccurate memories. Researchers asked college students, including some who were under hypnosis, to give the dates of 20 national and international news events from the past 11 years. Those who were hypnotized were no more accurate than others in choosing the correct dates. However, those who were hypnotized were more reluctant to change their answers when they were told they might be wrong. The results suggest that people may have too much faith that hypnosis can help them accurately recover lost memories, said Joseph Green, co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University's Lima campus. Clearly, myths and misconceptions about hypnosis abound, Green said. While hypnosis does not enhance the reliability of memory, there is some evidence that hypnosis leads to increased confidence in memories. These results support earlier survey research co-authored by Green that found nearly nine of ten people in four countries believe that hypnosis can help someone remember something that they could not remember otherwise. Green conducted the latest study with Steven Jay Lynn of the State University of New York at Binghamton. They presented their results Aug. 26 in San Francisco at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association. The study involved 96 college students who were asked to give their best estimate of the day, month and year that various events occurred. These included the date the Gulf War began, the day a bomb exploded in Atlanta during the Olympics and the date that Kurt Cobain of the rock band Nirvana committed suicide. About half the students were hypnotized before performing the task, while the other half performed a progressive muscle relaxation exercise. In addition to giving dates, the students were asked to rate how confident they were in the estimates they gave. Afterwards, the booklets with the date estimates were collected. After 20 minutes, the students were told the booklets had been scored to determine if their dates were within three months of the actual date. All participants were told that if they had a red star on the back of the booklet, at least one, but maybe more of the dates were inaccurate. In fact, though, the researchers had put red stars on all the booklets. The students were then given 10 minutes to review and change any of their previous estimates and give new ratings of how confident they were in their date estimates. Results showed that the students who were hypnotized were no more accurate than those in the relaxation group. On some of the questions, none of the students were within three months of the correct date. At best, 62.5 percent were within three months of the correct date of an event. In their ratings, the students who were hypnotized were no more confident in their date estimates than were the other students, Green said. However, participants who were hypnotized were less likely to change their estimates when told some were wrong. Participants in the hypnosis group changed only 16.9 percent of their answers, compared to the other group, who changed 24.6 percent of their answers. The fact that students under hypnosis said they were no more confident in their answers than did others, but were still less likely to change their answers, suggests the belief in the power of hypnosis to improve memory operates outside of conscious awareness. Those who were hypnotized tell you they are not confident in their answers, but their behavior - the reluctance to change their answers - suggests they must be more confident in their answers, Green said. The reason may be the myths that surround hypnosis, he said. It's widely believed that hypnosis somehow acts as a truth serum, that it unlocks memory and permits people to perform mental operations that they otherwise couldn't do, Green said. These myths occur worldwide, according to research Green helped conduct. In a survey of 280 students in Australia, Germany, Iran and the United States, 88 percent said hypnosis can help people remember something they couldn't otherwise remember. There were no significant differences in this belief between countries. Green said the results of the new study don't mean that hypnosis has no value. Any kind of technique used to retrieve memories - including the use of diaries or drugs - will produce inaccurate memories. However, the difference is that people tend to have more faith in hypnosis than they do in other memory techniques. While it may be true that hypnosis is no worse than other memory retrieval techniques in terms of accuracy, the downfall is that people may be more confident in memories they generate while under hypnosis, Green said. And that's because of the belief that hypnosis is a magical truth

Watchful technologies could soon put everyone under surveillance. The door to paranoia opens benignlyand early. Just think of Santa. He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, for goodness' sake. And he knows these things all the time, even though you can't see him. Millions of kids all over the world happily and wholeheartedly believe in ubiquitous surveillance as a de facto piece of the annual Christmas present-getting machine. Parents just shake their heads in adoring wonder. But those same parents might be shocked to learn how short the journey is from the pleasant surveillance fantasy of Santa to the freedom-squashing invasion of Big Brother. In the world detailed by George Orwell in the novel 1984, surveillance cameras follow every move a person makes, and the slightest misstep, or apparent misstep, summons the authorities. Now, similarly, police departments, government agencies, banks, merchants, amusement parks, sports arenas, nanny-watching homeowners, swimming-pool operators, and employers are deploying cameras, pattern recognition algorithms, databases of information, and biometric tools that when taken as a whole can be combined into automated surveillance networks able to track just about anyone, just about anywhere. While none of us is under 24-hour surveillance yet, the writing is on the wall. As Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems, starkly told reporters in 1999, You already have zero privacy. Get over it. The techno-entrepreneurs who are developing and marketing these tools anticipate good things to come, such as reduced crime rates in urban environments, computer interfaces that will read eye movements and navigate the Web for you, and fingerprint or facial recognition systems and other biometric technologies that guarantee your identity and eliminate the need for passwords, PIN numbers and access cardseven identifying potential terrorists before they can strike. But privacy advocates paint a far dimmer picture of this same future, accepting its reality while questioning whether it can be managed responsibly. The technology is developing at the speed of light, but the privacy laws to protect us are back in the Stone Age, says Barry Steinhardt, associate director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is among several groups that have tried, so far almost universally unsuccessfully, to introduce legislation aimed at protecting privacy. We may not end up with an Orwellian society run by malevolent dictators, but it will be a surveillance society where none of the detail of our daily lives will escape notice and where much of that detail will be recorded. The Fifth Utility In many ways, the drama of pervasive surveillance is being played out first in Orwell's native land, the United Kingdom, which operates more closed-circuit cameras per capita than any other country in the world. This very public surveillance began in 1986 on an industrial estate near the town of King's Lynn, approximately 100 kilometers north of London. Prior to the installation of three video cameras, a total of 58 crimes had been reported on the estate. None was reported over the next two years. In 1995, buoyed by that success, the government made matching grants available to other cities and towns that wanted to install public surveillance camerasand things took off from there. Most of these closed-circuit TV systems are installed in business districts or shopping centers by British Telecommunications, the national phone network, and jointly operated and managed by law enforcement and private industry. In addition, some townships are using BT to hook up video telephony, a technology that allows transmission of video images via telephone linesbut in a monitor-friendly network that provides officials quick and easy remote access to the images. On another front, the U.K. Home Office, the government department responsible for internal affairs in England and Wales, is starting construction of what promises to be the world's biggest road and vehicle surveillance network, a comprehensive system of cameras, vehicle and driver databases, and microwave and phone-based communications links that will be able to identify and track the movements of vehicles nearly nationwide. All told, the country's electronic eyes are becoming so prevalent that Stephen Graham of the Centre for Urban Technology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne has dubbed them a fifth utility,

-Caveat Lector- From http://www.maknews.com/html/articles/savich1.html }}Begin extract Conclusion The Greater Albania established by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini from 1941 to 1944 set the historical precedent for establishing an ethnically homogenous Albanian state which would encompass all areas settled by Albanians. The UCK/KLA/NLA/ANA/KPC/LAMPB goal and agenda is to re-establish and re-form Hitler's and Mussolini's Greater Albania. The Albanian nationalist goal, the UCK goal, is Greater Albania. The terrorist insurgency by the UCK, first in Kosovo- Metohija, then in Southern Serbia, and then in Macedonia, ostensibly to obtain greater rights and equal and human rights is in fact a war of territorial occupation and partition. The British Helsinki Human Rights Group (BHHRG) has noted that Tetovo is the focus of the Greater Albania movement which seeks to turn the Slavic Orthodox city into a center or capital of an ethnically pure Albanian district or municipality. The BHHRG stated that the population of Tetovo was 40% Macedonian Orthodox but that there was intense pressure to make the city into an Albanian town, based on the model of Kosovo where the Serbian Orthodox towns and cities were depopulated of non-Albanians creating an ethnically pure and ethnically homogenous Kosova, a de facto independent statelet demanding de jure recognition. The BHHRG alleged that Arben Xhaferi of the DPA appointed all local police chiefs in Tetovo. The DPA radicalizes the Albanian population and pressures the Albanian youth to become nationalist and separatist according to the British Helsinki Human Rights Group. The Group further alleges that Albanian youth are being pressured to attend the Albanian-language University of Tetova with a ideological curriculum based on that followed in Tirana and Pristina. The University of Tetova is nothing more than a boot camp for the indoctrination and training for the establishment of a Greater Albania. Xhaferi seeks to repeat in Tetovo what was done in Pristina. According to BHHRG, this compelled and forced separatist and Greater Albania ideological agitation has not met with unanimous approval within the Albanian population in Tetovo: Not all local Albanians are happy with these developments. During the war some sent their sons to Serbia to prevent their mobilization into the KLA. The BHHRG further alleged that the regional weapons market is run from Tetovo. Menduh Thaci of the DPA is alleged to control Tetovo's shops and the black market, such as in oil. There is widespread political corruption and collusion with political leaders. The goal of the Albanian policies, according to the BHHRG, is to force Macedonians to leave Tetovo by a subtle ethnic cleansing. The Christian population is the target of the Greater Albania separatists. The Kosovo model is being repeated in Tetovo, transforming an Orthodox Christian Slavic city into an Islamic Albanian city. Pristina is the blueprint. Kosovo is the model. The ultimate goal or agenda of the UCK separatists/terrorists is the partition/federalization of Western Macedonia, Illirida. Autonomy or de facto partition is the short-term goal. Independence from Macedonia is the long-term goal based on the Kosovo paradigm. The UCK seeks to re-establish and re-create the Greater Albania created by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini from 1941 to 1944. History is being repeated and replayed in Macedonia.

American Nazi Party Leader To Seek Election With Buchanan-Reform
Ralph Forbes To Make Second Run For Office In Arkansas
8/27/01 1:51:05 PM
Discuss this story in the forum
LSN Staff
Little Rock, Arkansas -- Former American Nazi Party leader Ralph Forbes
will seek election to Congress
on the Buchanan-Reform Party ticket in a special election to replace
Congressman Asa Hutchinson, who has resigned to take a seat in the Bush
Cabinet
as header of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Forbes is known for a precedent setting lawsuit that came from his 1992 run
for
office, in which the US Supreme Court ruled that candidates for office that do
not have significant financial backing or whom the public does not have
signicant interest in can be forcibly excluded from debates being held on
public television. The case also says that candidates in whom the public has
significant interest, or who have significant financial backing, must be
included in such debates.
The ruling has been attacked by both mainstream third parties and the radical
socialist left ( http://www.wsws.org/news/1998/may1998/deb-m20.shtml ).
Forbes won 2.5% of the vote in his 1992 run for the same seat.
In 1998, the World Socialist Web Site had the following comment on the
Forbes
case:
The criterion of electability also reveals an extremely constricted and
ultimately false conception of democracy. It assumes that the only purpose of
elections is to choose office holders, not to air political issues and educate
the public through open debate.
This conception of democracy reflects the outlook of a definite social group:
the ruling class of bankers and corporate bosses which controls the
American
political system, selecting the candidates of the Democratic and Republican
parties and then manipulating the choice of the voters on election day. For
the bourgeoisie, democracy is simply a mechanism for selecting its political
agents while giving the mass of working people the illusion that they have a
say. The Supreme Court decision underscores the basically fraudulent
character
of this pretense of democracy.

[CTRL] Are Farts Sterile?
-Caveat Lector- Via Urban Legends [under the rubric of what bored doctors do when they have some time to kill]: ~~~ It all started with an enquiry from a nurse, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki told listeners to his science phone-in show on the Triple J radio station in Brisbane. She wanted to know whether she was contaminating the operating theatre she worked in by quietly farting in the sterile environment during operations, and I realised that I didn't know. But I was determined to find out. Dr Kruszelnicki then described the method by which he had established whether human flatus was germ-laden, or merely malodorous. I contacted Luke Tennent, a microbiologist in Canberra, and together we devised an experiment. He asked a colleague to break wind directly onto two Petri dishes from a distance of five centimetres, first fully clothed, then with his trousers down. Then he observed what happened. Overnight, the second Petri dish sprouted visible lumps of two types of bacteria that are usually only found in the gut and on the skin. But the flatus which had passed through clothing caused no bacteria to sprout, which suggests that clothing acts as a filter. Our deduction is that the enteric zone in the second Petri dish was caused by the flatus itself, and the splatter ring around that was caused by the sheer velocity of the fart, which blew skin bacteria from the cheeks and blasted it onto the dish. It seems, therefore, that flatus can cause infection if the emitter is naked, but not if he or she is clothed. But the results of the experiment should not be considered alarming, because neither type of bacterium is harmful. In fact, they're similar to the 'friendly' bacteria found in yoghurt. Our final conclusion? Don't fart naked near food. Alright, it's not rocket science. But then again, maybe it is? (Canberra Times, 17/7/01.

Re: [CTRL] Kuwait: Mixing Oil and Politics
-Caveat Lector- If parliament permits foreign companies to pump Kuwaiti oil, it would reverse more than two decades of policy. A few years ago I ran across an old issue of National Geographic from the mid 1970s... What first caught my eye was a Bicentennial article on Women of the American Revolution ...but what prompted me to save the magazine from the trash it was headed for was an article about the 'emerging Middle East'... This issue was from late 1975 or early 1976, and the article on the Middle East was comprised of smaller articles on each country of the region... And I found the write up on Kuwait extremely interesting, 20 years down the road... The article indeed mentioned how the Kuwaiti royal family ended up controlling the oil fields in their country... Except, according to this article, it was accomplished because the ruling oil conglomerate in the country recognized 'the writing on the wall' -- other middle eastern countries were nationalizing oil production and throwing out the western oil companies that had dominated the region -- so this company that had dominated Kuwaiti oil production (indeed, had initiated test drilling after WWII) worked out a deal with the Kuwaiti royals Namely, that this company would turn over the production and sale of crude oil to the Kuwaiti royal family, in exchange for the sole rights to SHIP the oil out of Kuwait on this company's own ships... Look at a map of the region, specifically of Kuwait, and you will realize that this is not a minor matter And the Kuwaiti royal family agreed...it was a win-win situation for both sides...the Kuwaiti royals now got to enjoy the profits from selling oil to the company that had turned over the wells, and the company in turn continued to make huge profits by acting as the middle man... And apparently the right to ship the oil out of Kuwait is a right granted in perpetuity -- in other words, the company that turned over the wells has the sole right to ship oil out of Kuwait -- and reap the profits of being the middle man -- forever... And what is the name of this company? It was clearly spelled out in this 20-something-year-old article -- in 1975 the name meant little, if anything, to the general public, and indeed probably means little to nothing to the majority of the public today...

[CTRL] Fwd: Oil Company Histories
What I remember in the sixty period was a manager of Standard Oil coming into the Mayor's Office demanding we do something about the price wars - for we had 4 stations in town, on one corner and the gas war was on and the prices went down, down and down. Now this idiot thought I should take up the crusade but what did I know about oit - this was a job for Superman? Well maybe Mighty Mouse, but not me for they did not pay me enough to devote my life to oil - but I did however invite a Saudi Arabian Prince to our town and he accepted but after they murdered his father - Sorry Charlie, no drag re oil prices.and that guy was loaded. So - every jew in town came to my office to stop the dinner - Rockefeller had stopped his dinner and we would be destroyed politcally, and our Saudi Arabian Flags sent by State Department would be torn down. So in the end - I believe the American people have been the ones screwed by our so called friends...for you see, Sadaam Hussein offered us cheap oil, he wanted to be friends. Now Marc Rich - this man who gets away with murder, and do not think he does not - during Iranian crisis bought oil contrary to our law from Iran at $6.00 a barrel and sold from $29.00 up to 40.00 plus. It is the like of a Marc Rich with which we have to be concernedthis man is evil, he is mafia thug, and his floosie wife is nothing but courtesan who tried to get next to Clinton with the ADL - but then, Rich did get his pardon right? But hey, that Italian mob what is left, all in slammer? The plot thickens .. for I did not know Zapata oil had deal with Kuwait Kings for I thought they had deal for off shore drilling like say prior to Nixon peace feelers with Cina - oil companies were drilling off shore then, what companies I do not remember. So Remember this lovely American woman in Kuwait - on TV, while Sadaam Hussein's army was looting stores, etc., kind of like the blacks did in Cincinnati recently - this woman on TV. said - They even stole my TV and VCR - when are you Americans coming over here and do something about this. Well, we could have stopped a war and saved the lives of a lot of Iraqi Children, gotten cheap oil - had we only sent that old bitch a new TV and VCR. Ugly Americans - note Bilderbergers and the Hotel Trade - and remember Meyer Lansky in Cuba, all those hotels and motels and gambling casinos run by the mob and today if Lansky were alive he would be reaping in billions but Fidel, took care of that and the mob lost a mint and JFK lost his life. Joke on TV last night - showed a priest telling a story about Jesus and the money changers - my mother always said Jesus did two wrong things - he kicked the gamblers out of the temple - but this guy said as Jesus was kicking out the money changers, he winked and smiled and said to the one hey, got two tens for a five? Now Jesus knew the difference between a Jew and a Zionist way back then - for everywhere you go you find gambling, prostitution, drugs - guess who is always in the background holding the bag.. Viva Zapata - if not Bush, who??? He is the best we have right now...back in the early 1950 period, Dwight David Eisenhower once reminded the King of Saudi Arabia - hey, watch your step for the day will come when we will not need all that oiland I think the day, is fast approaching. California got a good example of energy crunch recently but have learned nothign. The Old Line were at least honest with public it was all out to see - energy was cheap, but since Marc Rich - see what will happen if the Zionists get that oil? See what the American People have been taught to hate the Giants who once ran this country - they were not perfect, but you have this trash Marc Rich and Denise Rich element now bribing US Presidentsso add this floosie to list of questionable people who liked to get next to the Boss.so as was said - Hey Meet the New Boss? No way though, he is like the Old Boss - at least he does not engage in acts of sodomy with prostitutes under contract with Mafia and the likes of a Larry Flynt - and who else got paid by Rich - why your ADL - who has put Jesus Christ on their Hit Hate List. Hey Foxman, got two tens for a five? And if the lard ass is watching that goes for you too - so cry havoc and turn loose the dogs of war but do you think anybody will go this time - no they are hiring mercenaries to do the dirty work but any American involved in foreign wars lose their citizenship do they not? Fighting for another country for we are not running a French Foreign Legion - yet. Saba http://www.virginia.edu/igpr/apagoilhistory.html

Sludge Report #104 Roadblocks And Roadmaps Over the past week pressure has been coming on the United States to do more for peace in the Middle East. And in the circumstances it is hardly surprising. What had been till now a policy of relative infrequent use of F16 bombers by the Israel Defence Force in retaliation raids, has now become almost routine. Meanwhile the assassination ( aka murder ) policy of the IDF against alleged Palestinian terrorists has been stepped up with numerous rocket attacks on houses and cars in the West Bank and Gaza. And finally we have had several punitive IDF tank and armoured bulldozer incursions (aka invasions) into the Palestinian territories. If it was not already clear that the combatants in the Holy Land were unable to stop the violence themselves, it is more than clear now. As a result the need for a change in the US stance on the crisis is becoming increasingly apparent to a wide variety of parties. Last week even the often subdued US media began asking officials what it was that the US thought it was doing in the Middle East. In the following exchange, which took place during the State Department's regular briefing on August 20th, a reporter wanted to find out why the US believed that a UN resolution on the conflict proposed by Palestinian observer was unworkable. More specifically he wanted to know why the US believed that any Action in the Security Council would be unhelpful to the crisis. QUESTION: So it is, in fact, not any action by the UN Security Council; it's only on what ideas that you think are unworkable, or anything? QUESTION: It seems to be anything. I don't know. QUESTION: Because presumably it could come up -- MR. REEKER: Action. Action in the UN Security Council. I don't know how much clearer I can say it. We don't think any action in the UN Security Council is what will contribute to these objectives. And this is in the context of the discussion that is going on today in New York and that we have been reflecting on beforehand last week and again today in preparation for that discussion. QUESTION: Okay, Phil. Leaving aside the question of monitors, where your objections are well known, what is your objection to a resolution that would demand Israel withdrawal from Orient House and the other institutions in East Jerusalem? MR. REEKER: We understand the concerns about Orient House. We have talked about that many times. It has long symbolized the importance of political dialogue and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians, and it is vital that both parties remain committed to these objectives and avoid the actions that threaten the fundamental belief in a negotiated settlement. And so we are actively engaged with both sides. We stand ready to assist in security talks, the tripartite security talks, to let the two parties try to come up with steps to implement security, to get the violence down, urging the parties to move quickly in that direction, as we have done before. But we don't believe that the solution is through steps taken in New York, through resolutions. We believe it is through the parties to work together to implement the Tenet work plan, to implement the Mitchell Committee recommendations, and that continues to be our position, just as it was last week. QUESTION: Is there any sort of rationale for that position, or is it just sort of arbitrary decision? MR. REEKER: No, and I would suggest that very few of our decisions are arbitrary. QUESTION: So what is the rationale for it? MR. REEKER: The rationale is that the two parties need to make the decision. By passing rhetorical statements in New York, by debating and polarizing an already volatile situation, by attempting to impose other ideas on the parties that aren't going to change reality on the ground -- that is not going to accomplish anything. We need to work with both sides to end the violence and transform the environment in a way that will permit the resumption of the political process. They have the road maps. They have a structure to pursue security talks and dialogue that are vital to creating an environment in which they can then move into the Mitchell Committee recommendations, which is what both sides and the international community have endorsed as the path out of this crisis. The question raised by the above exchange is very simple, and is summed up by the reporter when
[CTRL] PORN INDUSTRY'S NEW ASSAULT ON FAMILY
'Porn To Go' Available Through New Technology By Jason Collum August 27, 2001 (AgapePress) - The pornography industry has launched a new assault on the family with software that makes hard-core images available virtually anywhere. The Los Angeles Times reported that dozens of small Internet firms are experimenting with and reaching out to the wireless market with software that allows users to access hard-core images and videos on their handheld computers or personal digital assistants. The software is being promoted to users of such popular PDAs as Palm Pilot and Compaq's iPaq. One such company proudly proclaims on the front page of its website, "We just made the morning commute a little easier." The company, boasting "Adult Entertainment. Anywhere, Anytime," portrays a man in a business suit staring at his handheld computer while riding what appears to be a public transportation bus. A woman, apparently unaware, is standing in the background. Companies are also developing technologies to allow cell-phone users to download pornography on those devices. The result is that pornography is going places it has never been before: restaurants, subways, airport lounges, sporting events, traffic jams, and waiting rooms of all types. "Pornography is spreading its tentacles through society," says Patrick Trueman, legal counsel in Washington, D.C., for the American Family Association. "Now you can access it with a device that fits in your pocket. This is just adding more fuel to the fire." PLS

[CTRL] Ignoring apartheid
-Caveat Lector- Ignoring apartheid Published August 15, 2001 by the Palestine Report htp://www.jmcc.org/media/reportonline Special Report by Ihab Abu Ghosh, director of the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center FAMOUS ENGLISH physicist Stephan Hawking promised readers in his acclaimed book A Brief History of Time to explain theories pertaining to the universe without discouraging or confusing the readership with numerous complicated equations, and in the end only referring to Einstein's famous E = mc2. Similarly, it should be possible to present the issue of Israeli settlements in its true form, without digressing into a futile academic discussion. Indeed, the illusion of the controversy surrounding Israeli settlement policy is one intended to turn the issue into a discussion that might be negotiated - which has already been done so successfully with the matter of occupation. Only this way can one understand the changes in the United States governments' position on Israeli settlements over the past two decades. First they were illegal, then obstacles to peace, and now they have become a negotiable issue subject to the wills of the parties concerned, in which there is no place for external interference specifically that of the relevant United Nations resolutions. Israeli settlement policy is all about having the cake and eating it, too. It is about emptying international conventions, Article 49 of the Geneva Convention and 52 of the Hague Convention, in particular, of their meaning. It is about creating new international legitimacy for an occupation and its primary tool, one that has been clearly denounced by various relevant United Nations General Assembly and Security Council Resolutions. It means the final closing of the curtain by coercing Palestinians into accepting this reality and signing a final concession to that effect. Under different terms of legality, even the Israeli High Court was only able to justify the first settlements by saying that they served Israeli security needs as laid down in the Beit El and Alon Moreh cases of 1978 and 1979, respectively. [That is particularly interesting in light of the security justifications used in today's razing of entire neighborhoods, liquidation of Palestinian activists and oppressive siege of the Palestinian areas.] Since then more than 200 settlements have been erected in the Occupied Territories with an estimated 350,000 Israeli settlers living there. A network of roads has been built on Arab land to enable settlers' free movement and connection with one another. Israeli settlements control all water resources in the Occupied Territories, and utilize 80 percent of that water for their own use. These Israeli settlements and Jewish settlers are under total Israeli jurisdiction and laws that give them economic and military support. In essence, the settlements have become what they were fundamentally established to be: the cornerstone and primary tool for creating a new apartheid system. Understanding this reality and this fundamental attribute helps in distinguishing this issue from one that is controversial and a matter of moral inconsequence, and one that is not only illegal but also non- negotiable. Understanding this also clarifies the positions of state organs in support of settlement and differences in approach and realization of this support. This also clarifies the policy of support for the establishment and expansion of settlements equally practiced by the different Israeli governments over the past three decades. Differences were only noted in the tools and areas of settlement policy but not in the fundamental approach towards this issue. The discussion on settlements should not be seen as one pertaining to town planning, architecture or landscape, or even the needs of a civilian population. Rather, choosing to ignore or support settlement is a choice between supporting an apartheid system or denouncing it. It is not difficult to comprehend the mentality of supporters of settlements vis a vis the Palestinians; examples range from militants who chant death to Arabs at social events to the more sophisticated who are more subtle and merely wish this in their dreams. Who is that legal advisor who conjured up the cunning scheme of making use of land that had been declared state land, rather than going through the hassle of discussing the security purposes for which the land was required? This same person was reported to have defended the state and army against claims for compensation brought by a Gaza refugee camp family whose wife and mother were killed unnecessarily by soldiers that they should be thankful for they now have one less mouth to feed. And then there is the notorious architect who designed the Ma'aleh Adumim expansion plan over an additional 12,000 dunums, which gave the settlement a surface area of 60,000 dunums (more land than Tel Aviv). That land was expropriated from five Arab villages whose 60,000 inhabitants
Re: [CTRL] Ignoring apartheid
-Caveat Lector- I have a book entitled EINSTEINS THEORY OF RELATIVITY MADE SIMPLE (for simple folk like Joshua2)..now believe it or not it does make it simple, but I often wondered what is meant by, a Day With Christ is as a Thousand Years...now, if this is true and Christ ascended (hopefully he went up but is there really a difference) does that mean we have another 1,000 years to go? So I note in acts - and my darn bible code again, and you know my old friend Gordon Novel is alleged to have burgled the Schlumberger Munitions Dump (could not have happened to a nicer family) - and this was before I knew Gordon..however, my bible code date of this next big robbery in Columbus at the General Depot, Department of Defense...key watchwords that day from Acts and it said space of time, supplies and supplies and this was a supply depot and think Gordon was around about that time. Then that was about the time this Columbus Cop and he was also in the employ of the Jewish Mafia, had a waitredd down me with a coke made in hell...later the waitress was murdered, but I did not do it...I was the victim. Anyway - his name was James Daughtery and Richard Corova who had taken over the old tavernrestaure where we used to meet - told me he was one bad cop.. he then showed me how a beer could by loaded with anything much to my shock. Only I had drunk a coke that day and it was high noon and I had gone to dinner and was alone with exception of my 5 year oldthis crooked slime did not know she was in center room with me (where our round table was with beautiful turquois leaded glass windows that I helped pick out). So.thisi munitions dump, and Einstein and the whole works - even from those that sow clouds shall reap whirlwinds (our weather program) all in coded into this beautiful bible code only two factins using it of which I am primarily interested.one for good, one for evil and the evils got it. So such is life, in this small town which has been so dead since I got sidetracked its time to raise some more hell. Is J Edgar really dead? Code Name Old Man?

[CTRL] Big Brother Logs On
-Caveat Lector- Technology Review http://www.techreview.com/magazine/sep01/amatoall.asp Big Brother Logs On By Ivan Amato September 2001 Feeling exposed? Watchful technologies could soon put everyone under surveillance. The door to paranoia opens benignlyand early. Just think of Santa. He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, for goodness' sake. And he knows these things all the time, even though you can't see him. Millions of kids all over the world happily and wholeheartedly believe in ubiquitous surveillance as a de facto piece of the annual Christmas present-getting machine. Parents just shake their heads in adoring wonder. But those same parents might be shocked to learn how short the journey is from the pleasant surveillance fantasy of Santa to the freedom-squashing invasion of Big Brother. In the world detailed by George Orwell in the novel 1984, surveillance cameras follow every move a person makes, and the slightest misstep, or apparent misstep, summons the authorities. Now, similarly, police departments, government agencies, banks, merchants, amusement parks, sports arenas, nanny-watching homeowners, swimming-pool operators, and employers are deploying cameras, pattern recognition algorithms, databases of information, and biometric tools that when taken as a whole can be combined into automated surveillance networks able to track just about anyone, just about anywhere. While none of us is under 24-hour surveillance yet, the writing is on the wall. As Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems, starkly told reporters in 1999, You already have zero privacy. Get over it. The techno-entrepreneurs who are developing and marketing these tools anticipate good things to come, such as reduced crime rates in urban environments, computer interfaces that will read eye movements and navigate the Web for you, and fingerprint or facial recognition systems and other biometric technologies that guarantee your identity and eliminate the need for passwords, PIN numbers and access cardseven identifying potential terrorists before they can strike. But privacy advocates paint a far dimmer picture of this same future, accepting its reality while questioning whether it can be managed responsibly. The technology is developing at the speed of light, but the privacy laws to protect us are back in the Stone Age, says Barry Steinhardt, associate director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is among several groups that have tried, so far almost universally unsuccessfully, to introduce legislation aimed at protecting privacy. We may not end up with an Orwellian society run by malevolent dictators, but it will be a surveillance society where none of the detail of our daily lives will escape notice and where much of that detail will be recorded. The Fifth Utility In many ways, the drama of pervasive surveillance is being played out first in Orwell's native land, the United Kingdom, which operates more closed-circuit cameras per capita than any other country in the world. This very public surveillance began in 1986 on an industrial estate near the town of King's Lynn, approximately 100 kilometers north of London. Prior to the installation of three video cameras, a total of 58 crimes had been reported on the estate. None was reported over the next two years. In 1995, buoyed by that success, the government made matching grants available to other cities and towns that wanted to install public surveillance camerasand things took off from there. Most of these closed-circuit TV systems are installed in business districts or shopping centers by British Telecommunications, the national phone network, and jointly operated and managed by law enforcement and private industry. In addition, some townships are using BT to hook up video telephony, a technology that allows transmission of video images via telephone linesbut in a monitor-friendly network that provides officials quick and easy remote access to the images. On another front, the U.K. Home Office, the government department responsible for internal affairs in England and Wales, is starting construction of what promises to be the world's biggest road and vehicle surveillance network, a comprehensive system of cameras, vehicle and driver databases, and microwave and phone-based communications links that will be able to identify and track the movements of vehicles nearly nationwide. All told, the country's electronic eyes are becoming so prevalent that Stephen Graham of the Centre for Urban Technology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne has dubbed them a fifth utility, joining water, gas, electric and telephones. The United States and many other parts of the developed world are not far behind in video surveillance. Just look at the cameras looking at you. They're in ATMs, banks, stores, casinos, lobbies, hallways, desktops, and along highways, main streets and even side streets. And those are the cameras
[CTRL] Environmental, public interest groups sue government over missile defense plans
-Caveat Lector- Environmental, public interest groups sue government over missile defense plans By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press WASHINGTON (August 28, 2001 12:58 p.m. EDT) - Worried about the potential dangers of missile defense testing on the West Coast, a coalition of environmental and public interest groups sued the Defense Department in federal court Tuesday demanding a fresh round of environmental studies. The Pentagon has been planning to start construction early next year. If the Defense Department does not agree to a new study, the Natural Resources Defense Council plans to ask the federal judge for an injunction to require the study in advance of any construction, said NRDC senior researcher Christopher Paine. The new study could take from six to 18 months and could affect the administration's plans to withdraw from the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, he said. The groups contend in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court here that the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act requires the Pentagon to conduct new studies of the effects that the proposed Star Wars test range would have on the Pacific Ocean region between Alaska, Hawaii, California and the Marshall Islands. A new supplemental environmental impact study on the Pentagon's missile defense program and a second, more specific study on how the program would affect localities are required, the groups say. That is because the testing would have a significant environmental impact and the previous studies in 1994 and 2000 were for old programs that the Bush administration replaced with a new proposal and testing schedule, they say. The administration proposal includes plans for an emergency anti-missile system with five missile silos operating from Fort Greely near Fairbanks, Alaska, by 2004. By its own admission, the Bush administration has radically revised the missile defense program, said David Adelman, a senior attorney for NRDC. It can't do that without reassessing the potential environmental damage and providing for public comment. Otherwise, it's breaking the law. Along with the NRDC, groups filing suit were Physicians for Social Responsibility, Greenpeace USA, Alaska Action Center, Alaska Community Action on Toxics, Alaska Public Interest Research Group, Kodiak Rocket Launch Information Group, and No Nukes North: Alaskan and Circumpolar Coalition Against Missile Defense. Melanie Duchin, an Anchorage activist with Greenpeace, said the proposed testing is immoral as well as illegal. Alaskans or anybody else who cares about the planet and the threat of a new nuclear arms race are not going to sit by while this administration threatens Alaska's environment with a program that endangers the entire world. A spokesman for the Pentagon's Ballistic Missile Defense Organization could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.

I am on a list which covers the following: chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities, Environmental Illness, etc. I have these weird brain seizures which started after moving near the White Sands Missile Range and NASA in Las Cruces, NM. You name it and I have experienced it. UGH! I am Martha, 56 years young, married for 4 years to John Nygaard, 50 years young, and we don't have children. He is from Minnesota and I, born in Ohio, spent most of my life in Massachusetts. He was in the air force from 1970-1974 and his large family has all said he returned home profoundly different than when he went in. He has always suspected that he was used for a mind control experiment. His friend was also programmed in a terrible way (IF THIS IS TRUE) to take over the world in case of a nuclear war during Nixon's era. All the other men died from the experiment and the friend was left alive, but was immediately released from the marines on disability as being psychotic after being normal 3 months before that when he joined. He is still living partly in a different dimension. These strange manifestations of different dimensions started about 8 years after the experiment and that is when his disability went up to 100 percent and totally related to his time on duty. (and you know what it takes for the US armed services to admit they made a mistake!) Many people in NM, especially in the Taos area, are nearly driven crazy by this continual humming noise coming from the ground. Some people I personally know hear it even in Las Cruces coming from the mountain range behind us, but I have never heard it. Who knows what the government is up to? Taos is 400 miles north of us but the military base called NASA is right behind our mountain range. I have a sister-in-law in Corvalis, Oregon, who suddenly became sensitive to ALL electromagnetic fields about 4 years ago. She can't sleep, she can hear things miles away, listen to the TV with the sound off, and feels like she is going crazy. Just last week, a friend of mine sent me the article I have forwarded on to you, but it is so close to what my sister-in-law is going through, that I thought I'd post it on here. My specialist doctor who is up in Las Alamos, NM, tests people for electromagnetic sensitivities and of course, most of us who have chronic fatigue are also sensitive to electromagnetic fields which seem to be taking over the earth. I met Wes Thomas because he was checking up on the Myotron, worried that it was working like it is advertised to do. Well, it is all a scam as I bought one to stop my dogs from fighting and ended up with three bloody dogs since it didn't work. There MAY be such a device hidden away in secret places, but the Myotron being sold now is not much more than a toy. I have spent the last two months reporting this scam to about 200 agencies including the FBI who said they knew nothing about it. I am trying to get it OFF the market because it is targeted towards women to protect themselves and if they buy a Myoton for THAT, their attacker will get extremely annoyed and most likely kill them. Here is the article my friend just sent me last week. I don't write much because of my chronic fatigue, so this long thing I just wrote now is very unusual. Greetings to everyone and who are you all?

- Original Message - From: Biswanath Halder [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: undisclosed-recipients:; Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 8:33 AM Subject: Iraq Under Siege If you would not like to remain on my mailing list, please send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Type "REMOVE" in the Subject line, and in the body type in all of your e-mail addresses. Over the last eleven years, United States-manipulated and United Nations-imposed economic sanctions -- and massive bombings by the United States and the United Kingdom -- have claimed the lives of 1.5 million people in Iraq. Most of the victims are children under the age of five. The damage to infrastructure resulting from bombings and economic sanctions has left this once prosperous nation crippled and dying. The combined effect of these actions has been devastating: hyper- inflation, massive disease proliferation in both people and animals, mass migration, chronic malnutrition, extreme poverty, increased crime, collapse of medical services, collapse of agriculture, collapse of water and sewage processing, increased reliance on the state. The list is endless. In March 1999, a special United Nations Security Council panel reported, "The gravity of the humanitarian situation of the Iraqi people is indisputable and cannot be overstated." Iraq, the report states, has "experienced a shift from relative affluence to massive poverty." Prior to the imposition of sanctions, Iraq's health care system was regarded as among the best in the Middle East. Today, however, children die from epidemics of once preventable diseases. The special Security Council panel also reported that "the infant mortality rates in Iraq today are among the highest in the world." The US government actively supports sanctions to prevent the production of "weapons of mass destruction," while itself remaining the world's largest producer, distributor, and user of weapons of mass destruction. Condemned by Pope John Paul II, this undeclared war by insidious means is not only immoral but also illegal by standards of international and US law. The embargo directly violates the Geneva Convention, the UN Charter, the Constitution of the World Health Organization, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States. Furthermore, according to US law, the blockade of the Iraqi people is also an act of international terrorism. All compassionate and rational people should oppose the inhuman policies of the US and the UK against Iraq. Let us send a loud and clear message to them to end the eleven-year-long siege.

-Caveat Lector- RevCOAL wrote: -Caveat Lector- If parliament permits foreign companies to pump Kuwaiti oil, it would reverse more than two decades of policy. A few years ago I ran across an old issue of National Geographic from the mid 1970s... What first caught my eye was a Bicentennial article on Women of the American Revolution ...but what prompted me to save the magazine from the trash it was headed for was an article about the 'emerging Middle East'... This issue was from late 1975 or early 1976, and the article on the Middle East was comprised of smaller articles on each country of the region... And I found the write up on Kuwait extremely interesting, 20 years down the road... The article indeed mentioned how the Kuwaiti royal family ended up controlling the oil fields in their country... Except, according to this article, it was accomplished because the ruling oil conglomerate in the country recognized 'the writing on the wall' -- other middle eastern countries were nationalizing oil production and throwing out the western oil companies that had dominated the region -- so this company that had dominated Kuwaiti oil production (indeed, had initiated test drilling after WWII) worked out a deal with the Kuwaiti royals Namely, that this company would turn over the production and sale of crude oil to the Kuwaiti royal family, in exchange for the sole rights to SHIP the oil out of Kuwait on this company's own ships... Look at a map of the region, specifically of Kuwait, and you will realize that this is not a minor matter And the Kuwaiti royal family agreed...it was a win-win situation for both sides...the Kuwaiti royals now got to enjoy the profits from selling oil to the company that had turned over the wells, and the company in turn continued to make huge profits by acting as the middle man... And apparently the right to ship the oil out of Kuwait is a right granted in perpetuity -- in other words, the company that turned over the wells has the sole right to ship oil out of Kuwait -- and reap the profits of being the middle man -- forever... And what is the name of this company? It was clearly spelled out in this 20-something-year-old article -- in 1975 the name meant little, if anything, to the general public, and indeed probably means little to nothing to the majority of the public today... But the name 'Zapata Oil Company' IS quite meaningful to anyone who knows the history of the Bush family ;-) June Good one J2 A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Fwd: PHARISEE WATCH: Witness in the Occupied Territories
Grace Halsell, a Witness in Israeli and Palestinian Homes Our story about the terrified boy, Kamal brings continuing comment. The arrested 10-year old Palestinian stone thrower was photographed on the way to an Israeli detention and questioning session. Some readers registered horror that Kamal was beaten and suffered a broken arm while in the custody of the Israeli military and border police during an eight-hour internment. A few told us child torture is commonplace in Israel, that this is well known in many civilized countries, and even the United Nations recognizes it. But a disquietingly large number said they simply did not believe it was true, and would not consider it. Those who doubted that the event happened told WHTT torture and battery of a 10-year old by adults did not square with all they had been told about the Israel, especially what they had learned in their churches. Yet the deliberate maiming and assassination of children (and adults) by Israeli soldiers and sometimes by civilians, takes place almost daily in the occupied lands and has been carefully documented and reported many times by human rights activists and the press of other countries. We Hold These Truths wonders how it is that those of us who call ourselves by our Lord's name, and who live in the information age in the richest nation in Earth's history, can be the worst-informed persons on its face when it comes to the Middle East. There is a reason, and much of it involves our faith, or lack of it and the absence of courage to face cold facts about those we call our friends and allies. It also involves a lack of candor and courage on the part of those, including our church leaders, who have a responsibility to report and interpret the such news to us. We are reprinting a story by one courageous writer--a great American author who died last year. Grace Halsell's passing was mourned by her friends and those whose lives she defends, but it probably brought relief to an unknown number who are cut like a blade by her gentle words. One of her last stories was about Palestine about which she had made herself an expert. We agree with her premise when she stated: THE ANSWER TO ACHIEVING AN EVENHANDED MIDDLE EAST POLICY MIGHT LIE ELSEWHERE AMONG THOSE WHO SUPPORT ISRAEL BUT DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY. THIS GROUP IS THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. THEY ARE WELL-MEANING, FAIR-MINDED CHRISTIANS WHO FEEL BONDED TO ISRAEL. We Hold These Truths adopted PHARISEE WATCH to awaken Christians to their neglect of fellow creatures whom God also loves. We are reprinting Grace Halsell's article which appeared in the May/June 1998 Washington Report On Middle Eastern Affairs: (http://www.washingtonreport.org). We hope our critics will give it a fair-minded read and share it with friends, asking the question Grace Halsell asked when she journeyed to Jerusalem: Can what I see possibly be true? Sadly it is! WHAT CHRISTIANS DON'T KNOW ABOUT ISRAEL By Grace Halsell American Jews sympathetic to Israel dominate key positions in all areas of our government where decisions are made regarding the Middle East. This being the case, is there any hope of ever changing U. S. policy? President Bill Clinton as well as most members of Congress support Israel and they know why. U. S. Jews sympathetic to Israel donate lavishly to their campaign coffers. The answer to achieving an evenhanded Middle East policy might lie elsewhere among those who support Israel but don't really know why. This group is the vast majority of Americans. They are well-meaning, fair-minded Christians who feel bonded to Israel Zionism often from atavistic feelings, in some cases dating from childhood. I am one of those. I grew up listening to stories of a mystical, allegorical, spiritual Israel. This was before a modern political entity with the same name appeared on our maps. I attended Sunday School and watched an instructor draw down window-type shades to show maps of the Holy Land. I imbibed stories of a Good and Chosen people who fought against their Bad un-Chosen enemies. In my early 20s, I began traveling the world, earning my living as a writer. I came to the subject of the Middle East rather late in my career. I was sadly lacking in knowledge regarding the area. About all I knew was what I had learned in Sunday School. And typical of many U.S. Christians, I somehow considered a modern state created in 1948 as a homeland for Jews persecuted under the Nazis as a replica of the spiritual, mystical Israel I heard about as a child. When in 1979 I initially went to Jerusalem, I planned to write about the three great monotheistic religions and leave out politics. Not write about politics scoffed one Palestinian, smoking a water pipe in the Old Walled City. We eat politics, morning, noon and night. As I would learn, the politics is about land, and the co-claimants to that land: the indigenous
[CTRL] US Pressures EU On GM Foods
http://euobserver.com/index.phtml?selected_topic=9action=viewarticle_id=3251 US maintains pressure on EU over new GM laws In the latest bout of trade disputes between the United States and the European Union, the Bush administration officials are putting pressure on the EU to abandon new restrictions on genetically modified (GM) foods, which were proposed by the European Commission last month. Senior US officials have repeatedly said that Brussels anti-GMO policy is discriminating against American products and is in violation of World Trade Organisation (WTO) requirements. They argue that the new rules are likely to cost US companies $4bn and could disrupt efforts to start a new round of global trade talks later this year. The new EU laws, which must be approved by both the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers before they can take effect, require that all products containing genetically modified organisms are properly labelled as such. At the moment, retailers in the EU must label a food consisting of or containing GMOs, but currently some food ingredients are exempted from the provisions (for example, refined soya or maize oil). The Commission has also proposed tightening up the laws for tracing products from production through to distribution, putting obligations on business operators to transmit and retain information at each stage of the production process. Washington is worried that the new rules will be unwieldy and will result in a mountain of paperwork. At the moment, the US does not generally separate modified and conventional crops, and many US businesses will have to instigate far-reaching changes on the way they manufacture food if they are to conform to the new legislation. America is also concerned that the EU's proposals could prompt developing countries to introduce similar controls and significantly limit the reach of the technology. Undersecretary of State Alan Larson, the State Department's senior diplomat assigned to economic issues, described the new EU restrictions as "a very serious problem." Mr Larson is planning on lobbying EU governments to amend the regulations before they take effect. He stressed the importance of resolving the issue quickly so that it does not affect the start of the new global trade talks planned for later this year. The attitude towards GM crops is very different on either side of the Atlantic. In the US, no labelling of GM foods is mandated and the stuff is everywhere. According to Jeffrey Barach, a vice-president of the National Food Processor's Association in Washington, two thirds of all food processed in US contain GMO's. In fact, the combined countries of America, Canada and Argentina account for 99 per cent of the world's GM crop plantings. By contrast, the feeling towards GM crops in Europe is one of apprehension, even though there is no conclusive proof that their existence is harmful to the environment or to health. Just 0.3 per cent of the world's GM crops come from the EU. EU Commissioners Margot Wallström, responsible for the environment, and David Byrne, responsible for health and consumer protection, have welcomed the new Commission proposals. "Citizens should have the right to choose whether what they serve for dinner GMOs or not," said Ms Wallström. However, Pascal Lamy, commissioner for trade, added his voice to the dispute by arguing against labelling. The White House has made it clear that it will maintain pressure on the European Union to relax legislation on GM imports, and has not ruled out the possibility of a legal case before the WTO, which could result in a potentially embarrassing and costly judgement for the EU. Meanwhile, in France, anti-GM protestors have destroyed two fields of GM crops, highlighting the adversity to the technology in Europe. The protests were lead by radical farmers' leader Jose Bove, who came to fame after he attacked a McDonald's restaurant in his home town of Millau in protest at US trade restrictions.
[CTRL] Former Stasi Used By CIA?
http://newsreal.yellowbrix.com/pages/newsreal/Story.nsp?story_id=23125719 ID=newsrealscategory=Internet German intelligence service experts: Former Stasi agents possibly used by CIA Source: BBC Monitoring European - Political Publication date: 2001-08-27 A German newspaper report has said intelligence service experts consider it possible that former East German Stasi foreign intelligence agents are still active in German industry and that they might even be working for the CIA. The following is the text of the report by Peter Scherer: "Experts suspect that former GDR agents are still active today", published by the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag web site on 26 August: Frankfurt/Main: Industry and large banks in the Federal Republic apparently have been spied on more intensively than previously assumed. And some agent sources around chairmen of the board, supervisory board members and business managers are still undiscovered, say intelligence service experts. They even consider it possible that former Stasi agents, placed in the world of big money, continue to be active - taken over by intelligence services of the former GDR comrades-in-arms. But it is also conceivable that the United States' CIA might have used the personnel files of the Stasi foreign department, procured by them, to put pressure on powerful Stasi agents by threatening to hand them over to the criminal justice system and to "turn them around". Although the United States denies this, the Germans continue to be suspicious about what role the US services actually play in industrial espionage. Although the 33 CD-Roms and over 2,000 statistical pages on the Stasi espionage network turned over so far by the CIA to Germany - the remaining "Rosenholz" [Rosewood] files are to be delivered by the end of 2002 - will probably give the German authorities new possibilities of proof for identifying the "centre field of informants", they will probably not make possible the unmasking of top agents who meanwhile might be in the service of the friendly United States or other countries. True, for most Stasi informants the prescription period for GDR espionage has by now run out, but in cases of treason as well as for the still active espionage cadre, they continue to be threatened by justice's long arm. Last year, the federal attorney general initiated a total of 45 preliminary investigations for suspicion of agents' intelligence service activities. During the same period, German courts sentenced four people accused of criminal acts in the area of "treason and endangerment of external security". According to the spokeswoman of the federal attorney's office, senior public prosecutor Frauke- Katrin Scheuten, preliminary investigations, in connection with intelligence service activities for the GDR, were carried out for a total of 2,928 West German citizens. Ultimately, however, they resulted in only 388 indictments; 245 individuals received jail sentences. "Despite the changes of the past years, and partial cooperation with the intelligence services of former East Bloc states, Germany has remained a preferred intelligence target for foreign intelligence services," is the current estimation of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. And still in the game are even those former GDR agents who had managed to penetrate the control centres of economic power in Germany. Their general mission, formulated by the Stasi Sector of Commercial Coordination (BKK): "Intelligence gathering of the procedures of capitalist authorities, corporations and firms." Among other things, the Stasi "dealt with operatively interesting personnel pointers" in Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank; looked for approaches to members of the defence industry task force in the Ministry of Defence; and snooped in the iron and steel industry, in economic research institutes, defence plants, chemical enterprises and machine factories. This, among other things, emerges from files of the Main Intelligence-Gathering Administration (HVA) of the Ministry for State Security (MfS), whose Science and Technology Sector was in charge of "procuring scientific-technological insights from the highly developed capitalist states". To this information are added documents of the MfS Leipzig district administration, department of Foreign Intelligence Gathering, which Die Welt has in hand. An "object study" on Rheinmetall AG Berlin and Rheinmetall GmbH Duesseldorf, prepared by informant "Hain" and informer candidate "Weissenfels", may serve as an example for the GDR's involvement in industrial espionage. The detailed report of the Leipzig district administration for state security, Department XV, is dated 20 May 1986. And in connection with Stasi operations against Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank, the aliases "Esse" and "Reger" appear in the Leipzig espionage evaluation (date: 30 April 1985).

[CTRL] Will The Full Lockerbie Story Ever Be Told?
http://www.thescotsman.co.uk/searchresults.cfm?id=102764keyword=the Will the full Lockerbie story ever be told? Tim Cornwell LAST week, I had the privilege of sitting opposite Al-Amin Khalifa Fhimah, the "second accused" in the bombing of Pan Am 103, the family man and former airline station manager acquitted of the cold-blooded slaying of 270 people. Subjecting him to a kind of amateur cross-examination, it was tempting to try and sit in judgment on a case whose truths have eluded the world for 13 years. A three-day visit to Libya climaxed with three separate encounters with Fhimah, running from general chit-chat to formal tape-recorded interview to table talk that ran till midnight over aromatic Arabic coffee. While the interview was arranged by the Libyan defence team, I did my best to rattle him a little. Fhimah was found not guilty by a Scottish court of the worst case of mass-murder in Scottish history; his associate and co-defendant, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, was sentenced to life in prison. I did not cover the Lockerbie trial, except in talking to some of its victims on the other side of the Atlantic. But I read the verdict pretty thoroughly, and it seems to me that you could study the case for years and not be much wiser. Megrahi was convicted as the leading man of the plot to blow up Pan Am 103, a Libyan intelligence agent who assembled timers, explosives, and a Samonsite suitcase, with some clothes to fill it out. The case against Fhimah initially included exotic claims that he kept explosives for months in an airline desk drawer. But it came down that he somehow - the prosecution could never quite say how - helped put the bomb on route from Malta’s airport to Frankfurt, London and the Pan Am flight. The evidence against him was reduced to puzzling diary entries, flights, and phone calls, underlining the association with Megrahi. It simply wasn’t enough. The Libyans last week offered every welcome to me and Ian Rutherford, The Scotsman’s award-winning photographer. Most visitors to Tripoli expect to be watched closely, in a country that learned a few lessons from East Germany in state control, and I dare say we were too. But we experienced every courtesy of Arabic hospitality, from the moment of our arrival to the minute of our leaving, and we abused it to the full. Fhimah welcomed us to his home with coffee, sweet pastries and fruit and I pointed a tape recorder in his face and asked him for the explanations he never gave the court. Fhimah appeared uncomfortable, even angry, when pushed to explain all the to-ing and fro-ing between Malta and Tripoli by both Megrahi and himself, treated so suspiciously in the trial. He demanded that the tape be turned off, before continuing at the urging of the Libyans’ legal chief. "Let’s clear this now," he said, and talked on. It was a sharp reminder that the right to remain silent was designed for the innocent as well as the guilty. He gave a detailed accounting of his travels and meetings with Megrahi, a friend and senior colleague at Libyan Arab Airlines. They came out of hopes that Megrahi would help him win business for his travel agency with oil companies and the Paris-Dakar motor rally, he said. They set off for Malta together, shortly before the bombing, on a flight to look at carpets: Megrahi joined him only at the last minute at the airport, calling for him on the tannoy system. "I consider myself in a period of rest after all that period of suffering," said Fhimah, on extended leave from his job with the airline, describing the decade he spent as a suspect in the case. He blamed the death of his mother on the ordeal, saying she died at the age of 63 "in good health at that time but because of psychological pressure, because of the media bias, she couldn’t take it". He said the defence team made the decision for him not to testify because "there is no real evidence against me". The Libyan line, repeated over and over during our trip, by Fhimah and others, was that the Lockerbie trial was run by the Americans, first as a political show trial, and second as a matter of money, so that the Americans can claim billions of dollars in damages. The CIA was watching over the shoulder of Scottish prosecutors. "Sometimes we came to a point that we are afraid that the Scottish would believe the Americans because we knew the Americans they are playing," Fhimah said. "They make up stories. It’s the CIA. But with the Scottish people we are very relaxed because we knew that they are looking for the truth." Certainly, the Americans have long had hang-ups about Libya: Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi is one of their black-hat bad guys of the world, along with Fidel Castro in Cuba or Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. But I don’t personally buy the money line, with its implication that the American families all want cash and we good Britons just want answers. Portraying the Americans as the
[CTRL] Skolnick- Wal-Mart The Red Chinese (Pt.1)
http://www.skolnicksreport.com Wal-Mart And The Red Chinese Secret Police, Pt 1 By Sherman H. Skolnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8-26-1 To understand Wal-Mart, you have to have a handle on Arkansas. And to figure out Arkansas, you have to be knowledgeable about the Rockefellers. And to fathom the Red Chinese Secret Police, you have to know a lot about the richest family in the world. To begin. The Rockefellers like to own and operate entire states with a sizeable geography, good natural assets, and a relatively small population. That way, if need be, to win a so-called "election", they could more or less find it cheap to buy all the votes they may need to install their people. West Virginia is such a state. Like an ancient Colossus of Rhodes, astride the entrance to a harbor, the Rockefellers have a foot on both sides. On occasion, they pretend to be Democrats. Other times, as Republicans. They have installed as U.S. Senator (W.Va., D.) John D. Rockefeller 4th, great grandson of John D. Rockefeller, founder of the bloody and infamous Standard Oil Trust. Broken up by a U.S. Supreme Court decree in 1911, the Standard Oil Trust, changing its name slightly to fool novices, is back together again. Historically, Standard Oil would bomb their own obsolete plants, to blame onto a competitor, thereby gaining public support and strangling competition. [Ida Tarbell wrote early in the 20th Century detailed accounts of Rockefeller crimes.] As U.S. Senator he calls himself Jay to be cute. His wife, Sharon Percy Rockefeller, has a key position in so-called "public" broadcasting. Consequently, we call it National Petroleum Radio. NPR and PBS would never finger the Rockefellers and Big Oil. [Happily, she has no sayso whatever in local public access Cable TV, where we operate an opposition to the monopoly press.] We have determined to our satisfaction, by confronting them, that Chicago-based Harris Bank reportedly has dozens and dozens of secret joint accounts of the Percy/Rockefeller Family with so-called "terrorist" Osama bin Laden, tied together through Mid-East construction contracts. Ha! Ha! The oil-soaked White House says they would like to freeze bin Laden's bank accounts if they can find them. Really? Another Rockefeller owned and operated state is Arkansas. Sizeable land, small population. You cannot be so much as a successful dog-catcher there without the blessings of the Rockefellers. Several terms before Clinton, Winthrop Rockefeller was Governor. Our interviews with middle-level members of the Rockefeller Family convinces us his proper name should be WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER CLINTON. We feel certain, from all we know, that Sludge Willy is the illegitimate great grandson of the unsmiling Rockefeller patriarch. The Rockefellers are not naive plutocrats. If there ever were ANY documents proving that Winthrop Rockefeller fathered five illegitimate children around the nation including the person who calls himself "Bill Clinton", those records, if any, have long since been destroyed. So please, like some ninny, do not heckle us with "Where are your documents?" Until the Rockefellers are ready to throw away Bill and Hillary as no longer useful, they are untouchable. At the Senate Clinton Impeachment trial, the U.S. Senators certainly understood all this. [As an example, is it necessary for us to point out that the so-called "Watergate Affair" was touched off without a single document?] It is surprising how some people look at a backward state like Arkansas, and yet do not wonder about the so-called great fortunes headquartered there. Tyson Chickens. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and all their subsidiaries, and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, reportedly has undercover agent reports how Tyson, in the past, has been partly financed by dope trafficking. [Of course, their major user, McDonald's, having their own problems, obviously is not interested to know. Visit our website story about McDonald's, "Coca-Cola, the CIA, and the Courts, Part 8".] Cynics point to Puerto Rico where Tyson supposedly got some of their chickens. Was contraband tucked into some of the birds who were so old, wags claimed these chickens were eligible for Social Security pensions? Tyson has supposedly offered their chicken preparation expertise to Red China. Really? The Chinese have been handling chickens for centuries. Do they REALLY need consulting with Tyson? Need we point out, that Southwest China, where Tyson may have visited, are producers of "China White" dope, a major export to the U.S., much, often via Chicago. Starting about the late 1970s, the Rockefeller banks, such as the First National of Chicago, now to confuse people re-named Bank One, began loaning billions and billions of dollars to mainland China. The promise was that Red China would pay back with gold from their

[CTRL] Sparks that signal the shock
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2001 09:00:36 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Newmill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sparks that signal the shock Sparks that signal the shock http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,3605,540940,00.html Thursday August 23, 2001 The earth's surface is a jigsaw of tectonic plates, each a slab of rock hundreds of kilometres across. Pressure builds up in the fault lines between these plates, and when a section of rock slips suddenly the result is an earthquake. It appears to be a purely physical process, so it is surprising to discover there is an electrical dimension. Not only do earthquakes cause a variety of electrical effects, but we now know how to trigger them using a pulse of artificial lightning. A surge of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, known as a precursor signal, is sometimes detected before an earthquake. These can show up in unexpected ways. When the radiographer Mike Grayson was carrying out a CAT scan in Newcastle, New South Wales, he noticed unusual streaks appearing on the image. Seventeen minutes later, the city was struck by a major earthquake. The occupants of the hospital were unharmed, though parts of it, including the scanning room, were demolished. Grayson said afterwards: If I ever see that image again I'd be the first out of the building. In 1991, a group of American scientists were investigating how natural background noise interferes with satellite communication. A detector in Corralitos indicated ultra low frequency radio noise more than 20 times stronger than usual. It looked like an equipment fault and the signal disappeared. A few hours later an earthquake struck less than five miles away. Not all earthquakes seem to produce precursor signals, so they are unreliable as a means of earthquake prediction. When they do occur they can cause spectacular effects, described by one Japanese researcher as Alice In Wonderland syndrome. Before the Kobe earthquake, there were reports of U-shaped candle flames, clocks whose second hands suddenly went around very quickly or stopped, swarming earthworms and schools of fish aligning themselves in the same direction. Such stories were once dismissed as folk myths, but researchers at the quantum geophysics laboratory in Osaka found they could all be duplicated using electrical equipment. There is also a long history of stories of earthquake lights. These range from glowing fireballs popping out of the ground to a diffuse sparkling in the sky. There is no accepted explanation, but they are thought to be related to St Elmo's fire, the glowing ionisation sometimes seen on ships' masts in stormy conditions. This is caused by a strong electric field in the air, which Japanese researchers believe may be associated with the precursor signal. The Soviets set out to map the conductivity of the earth's crust in an area of seismic activity in Tajikistan. Their experiments, carried out in the 1970s, involved firing massive charges of electricity into the earth. There were tremors but nobody paid much attention. In 1993, Nikolai Tarasov of the institute of earth physics in Moscow analysed data from the trials and found something remarkable. The electromagnetic pulses from the experiment were followed by tremors, each one releasing up to a million times as much energy as the pulse that preceded it. Tarasov went on to look at the results of similar experiments carried out at Tien Shan in the 1980s, and found that two-thirds were also followed by tremors. Tarasov is now part of a team being funded by the EU to investigate how electricity can cause earthquakes. There is nothing in the standard geological model to explain it. One suggestion is that the electric pulse may be heating up groundwater and increasing pressure. We know about the importance of underground water pressure from the Rocky Mountain waste disposal project in the 1960s. A deep well was drilled at Rocky Mountain for the disposal of chemical waste. Millions of litres were injected, and the area, which had been quiet for almost a century, started to suffer hundreds of small earthquakes, with most activity in the months when disposal was taking place. The pressure of the fluid injected into the well is thought to have made it easier for rock to slip along the fault lines. Electrically heating the water might have a similar effect. Other theories focus on the rocks themselves. Many minerals are piezoelectric, which means that when they are put under pressure, as in a fault zone, they can produce an electric potential. It also means that when electricity is applied they vibrate slightly. An electric pulse could set a large mass of rock vibrating, enough perhaps to start slippage and trigger an earthquake. A lthough the underlying physical principles may not be understood, the implications are literally earth-shattering. We now have a relatively simple and easy means of inducing earthquakes. This

[CTRL] Sioux vs. DEA, Round Two
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.motherjones.com/web_exclusives/features/news/hemp_update.html Click Here: A HREF=http://www.motherjones.com/web_exclusives/features/news/hemp_update.html Motherjones.com -- Web Exclusives/A - Sioux vs. DEA, Round Two Sioux vs. DEA, Round Two Federal agents have destroyed Alex White Plume's industrial hemp crop for the second year running. But the courts may soon decide whether Native Americans can grow THC-free cannabis. by Emily Huber August 29, 2001 For the second year in a row, the War on Drugs has come to the Pine Ridge Sioux Indian reservation. On the morning of July 30, federal agents arrived at tribal member Alex White Plume's farm outside Manderson, South Dakota, cutting down and hauling away three acres of industrial hemp. At least this time it was all very civil -- unlike the day, in August of last year, when 36 heavily armed agents from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the US Marshal's office surprised White Plume and his family with an early morning raid, seizing more than 3600 hemp plants. (See The Drug War Comes to the Rez.) This time, agents arrived at a scheduled 8 a.m., shook hands with White Plume, and went to work. They were real kind, White Plume told reporters. They were the nicest police officers I've ever seen. White Plume's sister made coffee for everyone, and someone brought donuts. White Plume had agreed in advance not to resist the agents, in exchange for their not filing criminal charges against him. The oddly amicable arrangement grew out of the ongoing legal debate over the complicated intersection of tribal rights and federal drug laws that White Plume's hemp farming has raised. White Plume, along with the Oglala Sioux tribal government, wants to grow hemp as an agricultural commodity that could give a needed economic boost to the impoverished reservation. Federal law, however, draws no distinction between hemp and marijuana, even though hemp contains almost no THC, the psychoactive chemical found in its better-known cousin. Growing either is illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The Oglala Sioux maintain that their right to cultivate whatever crops they choose is enshrined in an 1868 treaty with the US government, and that White Plume's crops are specifically sanctioned under a 1998 tribal ordinance that permits hemp growing. The tribal law sets industrial hemp apart from marijuana, and places a limit on the crop's THC content. The Bureau of Indian Affairs tested White Plume's hemp last year and found only trace elements of THC. We regard the enforcement of our hemp ordinance and prosecution of our marijuana laws as tribal matters, Oglala Sioux Tribe President Yellow Bird Steele wrote in a July 18 letter to US Attorney for South Dakota Michelle Tapken. I respectfully request that you direct the law enforcement agencies under your authority to refrain from further contact with our tribal members regarding the cultivation of industrial hemp. White Plume, meanwhile, is preparing a lawsuit aimed at establishing his right to grow hemp based on the 1868 treaty. But the suit wasn't ready in time for the August harvest, and federal authorities let it be known that if the hemp stayed put, they would seek a criminal prosecution, says White Plume's lawyer, Bruce Ellison. White Plume had grown enough hemp to earn as much as life in prison, so he and Ellison negotiated the agreement with Tapken. The feds, explains Ellison, are not particularly excited about prosecuting someone facing so many years in prison for such an innocuous crime, Ellison says. It creates a can of worms for the federal government. Tapken's office declined to comment on this year's raid or the agreement. We didn't back down in any way, White Plume says. We just allowed it to be pulled because we need time to strategize. We're not going to give up. White Plume says he'll plant again next April, if he can come up with the seeds.

Re: [CTRL] Kuwait: Mixing Oil and Politics
-Caveat Lector- On Tue, 28 Aug 2001, Nurev Ind. wrote: But the name 'Zapata Oil Company' IS quite meaningful to anyone who knows the history of the Bush family ;-) Good one The name 'Zapata Oil Company' is bandied about freely throughout the article, which described how it was Zapata that initiated drilling in Kuwait after WWII and had monopoly rights to the wells and the oil from those wells until the 1970s until, as the article described, Zapata recognized that the same thing could happen in Kuwait as was then happening in other oil-producing countries of the mideast -- namely, that Zapata could lose everything if the Kuwaitis decided to nationalize oil production in Kuwait... So Zapata worked out the win-win deal with the Kuwaiti royals... In the article it is interesting to read the writer's observation (circa 1975) of Kuwait as being little more than a country comprised of nomadic tent communities, with the capital city then just being built...the writer wondered what the future would bring for Kuwait, now that oil production had been turned over to the royal family, and he wondered what the royals would do with their new-found wealth... The writer never delved into the background of Zapata Oil Company (indeed, the focus of the article was NOT on Zapata but on Kuwait as a newly emerging nation), so no mention of the Bush family was made; indeed at the time, the name would not have meant much of anything to the general reader of National Geographic... But I wonder if a similar article would manage to get published today...or would all those references to Zapata Oil, and how it now has monopoly rights to Kuwaiti oil, fall victim to the censor? Knowing the cozy relationship that Zapata Oil has with the Kuwaiti royal family, and how it has monopoly rights to ship the oil out and sell it to refineries (pocketing the profit for itself), puts a whole new spin on Bush Sr's being so ready to intervene on Kuwait's behalf against Iraq back in 1991...

[CTRL] In Rage
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.guardian.co.uk/Print/0,3858,4246813,00.html }}Begin Israeli invasion provokes outrage Special report: Israel Suzanne Goldenberg in Beit Jala, West Bank Wednesday August 29, 2001 The Guardian Jack Straw yesterday delivered his most impassioned rebuke since becoming foreign secretary, when he joined the Americans in undiluted criticism of Israel's reoccupation of a swath of the Christian town of Beit Jala. Hours after Israeli tanks rolled into the Palestinian-controlled town along Virgin Mary Street early yesterday, Mr Straw said that the occupation of Beit Jala was excessive and disproportionate. I am deeply concerned by the escalation in violence in the occupied territories over the weekend and condemn the incursion, he said. The United States made clear in equally uncompro mising terms that its patience with Israeli tactics of assassinations and now military reoccupations of areas under Palestinian control was running thin. Using pointedly sterner language than in previous Washington statements, the state department spokesman Richard Boucher said the invasion of Beit Jala would only make matters worse. The Israelis need to understand that incursions like this will not solve the security problems. We believe the Israelis should withdraw their forces from this area, he said. Mr Straw also chose his toughest language yet when he said that the actions of the kind we have seen this weekend are excessive, disproportionate and threaten to stoke the cycle of violence. He added: The use of fighter aircraft in residential areas, the destruction of Palestinian Authority security buildings by missiles, and assassinations of Palestinians can form no part of a meaningful strategy aimed at a chieving peace. The hardening of transatlantic attitudes towards the Israeli position came on a day when the Middle East crisis entered a phase of urban combat, with the staccato of gunfire from Palestinian fighters and the thud of heavy machine-guns from two tanks stationed outside the Lutheran church, echoing off the limestone walls of Beit Jala. Mr Straw spoke amid growing international anger at the Israeli army's seizure of an orphanage run by the church, which put 45 boys, between the ages of 10 and 16, and their four wardens squarely in the line of fire. It is totally unacceptable to seize church premises and frighten orphans, the head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the holy land, Bishop Munib Younan, said. The international community should raise its voice on t heir behalf. The invasion of Beit Jala was ordered after Palestinian gunmen there opened fire on Monday night on the Jewish settlement of Gilo, which lies between the town and the southern edges of Jerusalem. Israeli officials said ye sterday that the reoccupation could continue for some time. The army should remain there as long as it is needed to ensure there will not be shooting on Gilo, the Israeli justice minister, Meir Shitreet, said. He did not rule out the prospect that the army pres ence in Beit Jala would be permanent. If there is no alternative, perhaps if that is what is needed, but I hope we will not arrive at that point, he said. The Palesti nians must learn the lesson that what happened today in Beit Jala could happen tomorrow in other places. Aside from the orphanage, the Israeli troops took over an Orthodox community centre, an adjacent girls' school, and according to local Palestinians yesterday evening, a mosque. A Palestinian policeman was killed in heavy gunfire which accompanied the assault, and Palestinians said that more than 20 were injured. The streets were deserted, with Israeli jeeps on patrol, and soldiers opening fire to enforce an indefinite curfew declared at 7am. The townspeople of Beit Jala obeyed - bar a few scattered members of the Palestinian secu rity forces, eating olives and pita bread in an alley off the main square - and gunmen. They roamed the lanes of the town in groups of three or four. Some carried home-made pipe grenades. In the distance, clouds of smoke rose above the Aida refugee camp as Palestinian fighters exchanged gunfire with Israeli troops stationed at a Jewish shrine at the entrance to Bethlehem. United Nations officials said abou t 30 Israeli soldiers had briefly entered the Aida camp before dawn, before quickly withdrawing. The Israeli soldiers arrived at the gates of the Evangelical Lutheran Home, a shelter for orphans and poor Palestinian children, at 1.30am, rolling down Virgin Mary Street in three tanks. The soldiers were pounding on the door, and tried to break it, said Khadr Musallem, the home's director. The interview was conducted over the telephone because he, and the children, were barred from leaving the building or receiving deliveries of food. I went up to see what was wrong and they ordered me to open the door. They spoke in Arabic - but with a heavy accent - 'iftah, iftah, open up'. The Israelis swiftly took up gun

[CTRL] Why Americans Will Believe Almost Anyhting
-Caveat Lector- http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/newwest/index33.html chapter 33 THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION: WHY AMERICANS WILL BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING by Tim O'Shea Aldous Huxley's inspired 1956 essay detailed the vivid, mind-expanding, multisensory insights of his mescaline adventures. By altering his brain chemistry with natural psychotropics, Huxley tapped into a rich and fluid world of shimmering, indescribable beauty and power. With his neurosensory input thus triggered, Huxley was able to enter that parallel universe described by every mystic and space captain in recorded history. Whether by hallucination or epiphany, Huxley sought to remove all controls, all filters, all cultural conditioning from his perceptions and to confront Nature or the World or Reality first-hand - in its unpasteurized, unedited, unretouched, infinite rawness. Those bonds are much harder to break today, half a century later. We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever known. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our very awareness of the whole design seems like it is being subtly and inexorably erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely regulated. Who cares, right? It is an exhausting and endless task to keep explaining to people how most issues of conventional wisdom are scientifically implanted in the public consciousness by a thousand media clips per day. In an effort to save time, I would like to provide just a little background on the handling of information in this country. Once the basic principles are illustrated about how our current system of media control arose historically, the reader might be more apt to question any given popular opinion. If everybody believes something, it's probably wrong. We call that Conventional Wisdom. In America, conventional wisdom that has mass acceptance is usually contrived: somebody paid for it. Examples: Pharmaceuticals restore health Vaccination brings immunity The cure for cancer is just around the corner Menopause is a disease condition When a child is sick, he needs immediate antibiotics When a child has a fever he needs Tylenol Hospitals are safe and clean. America has the best health care in the world. Americans have the best health in the world. Milk is a good source of calcium. You never outgrow your need for milk. Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Aspirin prevents heart attacks. Heart drugs improve the heart. Back and neck pain are the only reasons for spinal adjustment. No child can get into school without being vaccinated. The FDA thoroughly tests all drugs before they go on the market. Pregnancy is a serious medical condition Chemotherapy and radiation are effective cures for cancer When your child is diagnosed with an ear infection, antibiotics should be given immediately 'just in case' Ear tubes are for the good of the child. Estrogen drugs prevent osteoporosis after menopause. Pediatricians are the most highly trained of al medical specialists. The purpose of the health care industry is health. HIV is the cause of AIDS. AZT is the cure. Without vaccines, infectious diseases will return Fluoride in the city water protects your teeth Flu shots prevent the flu. Vaccines are thoroughly tested before being placed on the Mandated Schedule. Doctors are certain that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh any possible risks. There is a power shortage in California. There is a meningitis epidemic in California. The NASDAQ is a natural market controlled only by supply and demand. Chronic pain is a natural consequence of aging. Soy is your healthiest source of protein. Insulin shots cure diabetes. After we take out your gall bladder you can eat anything you want Allergy medicine will cure allergies. This is a list of illusions, that have cost billions and billions to conjure up. Did you ever wonder why you never see the President speaking publicly unless he is reading? Or why most people in this country think generally the same about most of the above issues? HOW THIS WHOLE SET-UP GOT STARTED In Trust Us We're Experts, Stauber and Rampton pull together some compelling data describing the science of creating public opinion in America. They trace modern public influence back to the early part of the last century, highlighting the work of guys like Edward L. Bernays, the Father of Spin. From his own amazing chronicle Propaganda, we learn how Edward L. Bernays took the ideas of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud himself and applied them to the emerging science of mass persuasion. The only difference was that instead of using these principles to uncover hidden themes in the human unconscious, the way Freudian psychology does, Bernays used these same ideas to mask agendas and to create illusions that deceive and misrepresent, for marketing purposes. THE FATHER OF SPIN Bernays dominated the PR industry until the 1940s, and was a significant force for another 40 years after that.

[CTRL] Insight from the Isles
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.antiwar.com/rep/laughland11.html }}Begin British Soldiers Die So That Blair Can Play Leader of Europe Do Our Boys Have To Be At The Frontline? by John Laughland Daily Express August 28, 2001 When Sapper Ian Collins lay dying in a university hospital in Macedonia in the small hours of Monday morning, having been hit on the head by a piece of concrete thrown at him by Macedonian youths, he may well have asked, Why did they do this to me? and Why was I sent here in the first place? Why indeed? Britain is always in the front line when it comes to sending Western troops to fight other people's wars. The present NATO deployment to Macedonia is overwhelmingly composed of British soldiers, yet they were sent there without a whiff of public debate. The government made no statement to the House of Commons, still less did it recall Parliament to seek approval. The prime minister did not even bother to interrupt his sun-bathing in the South of France. Our foreign policy is now rather like our policy on foot and mouth disease. We respond with massive and indiscriminate force whenever there is an outbreak of instability. Despatching British troops is now the routine answer wherever there is trouble Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone and now Macedonia. Our European partners are more circumspect. The Germans have been having a proper debate for months about whether it is right to send German troops to Macedonia. They probably won't do it. Tony Blair sends British troops abroad with gay abandon because of his obsessive desire to be both a leader in Europe and a bridge with America. He knows he cannot lead Europe economically Britain has not yet committed the requisite economic suicide by abandoning its national currency so the only remaining avenue for his personal ambition is the army. He seems to think it makes sense to send our boys to disarm rebels in Macedonia in 30 days, although we have been unable to disarm our own paramilitaries in Northern Ireland in 30 years. Like all of the British political class, Mr. Blair also unquestioningly regards being Number One ally of the United States as an overriding political priority. Having lost our own Empire, we seem to want to behave like the crack troops of the American empire instead. We have therefore now lost the capacity to question whether these foreign escapades are in our national interest. Political reactions yesterday to Ian Collins' death confirmed this mental block: from Kenneth Clarke to Menzies Campbell, opposition leaders simply said that British troops might now have to stay longer and do more shooting. It did not occur to anyone that we should never have gone there in the first place. Britain is first in line for foreign escapades because we are a soft touch. We have become so collectively lobotomised in this country that we now treat the despatch of British troops to foreign lands as the moral equivalent of sending the St. John's Ambulance Brigade to a village fete. This is highly dangerous. Sending troops into other people's countries is the cutting edge of power politics. It is the stuff of which wars are made. And Tony Blair has just put British troops into a place where they are very unwelcome indeed. The last time I was in Macedonia, in June, the anger felt by ordinary Macedonians against the West was palpable. A TV journalist acquaintance of mine was beaten unconscious; I was myself nearly attacked by a furious drunk. Ordinary Macedonians, like the youths who threw the brick which killed Sapper Collins, are incensed at what they see as the West's support for Albanian rebels who have killed scores of Macedonian soldiers, committed terrible acts or murder and torture, and driven tens of thousands of civilians from their homes. Throughout June and July, there were so many signs that the Americans were secretly helping the Albanian rebels just as they did in Kosovo that it seemed they wanted a pretext with which to justify a NATO intervention. Macedonian anger therefore rose to fury during the weekend when NATO announced it would collect

[CTRL] Abe Foxman: Disgrace to my Religion By Monty Warner
-Caveat Lector- Abe Foxman: Disgrace to my Religion By Monty Warner FrontPageMagazine.com | August 21, 2001 AS AN EARLY TEEN, I was playing in a YMCA basketball league in Sumter, South Carolina, a leafy, sleepy southern town of about 35,000 where I was born and raised. Being of Jewish descent, I had to play for a Methodist team because the Jewish population in the county - indeed, in the state, at that time - was limited enough to preclude its own league. The YMCA was agreeable to this, and a few other Jewish kids from surrounding areas played as well. After one of the games, I remember standing by the scoreboard. Ahead of me was one of the Jewish parents, shouting at one of the coaches. The woman wasn't demanding more playing time for her son, nor was she a diehard seeking an explanation for why we were so bad that year. The woman, in full view of and to the distraction and discomfort of many, was demanding an apology from the coach for hurting her son's feelings. The coach's sin? Taking her boy out of the game for poor play and making him cry. I thought the whole episode somewhat amusing until two well-respected men in the community passed by, and I overheard one of them say to the other: That is exactly why our kind has trouble with their kind. Upon hearing this, I didn't find myself offended; at thirteen years old, I found myself agreeing with them. Today we have our very own national Jewish basketball mom. Just as shrill, just as petulant, just as obnoxious, and useless to boot. Our advocate, armed with a $50 million annual budget to ensure the meanies never get us, is Abraham Foxman. Foxman heads the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a once proud, worthy and worthwhile protector of Jews and their faith. Under Foxman's brand of leadership, the ADL has devolved into an opportunistic, intolerant, grief-grubbing stench - a rights group for any and all who wish to feel offended - one which, in bottomless efforts to remain PC-safe, unconditionally aligns itself with groups like the Black Caucus and NAACP, both of which strongly support the pending anti-Semitic U.N. Conference on Racism. Think about that. You hate me, so by all means I support you. Why? Because I'm pathetic. This past June, Carl Pearlston, a Board Member of the ADL and longtime loyalist to its early causes, resigned from the organization after 25 years of service. Pearlston began to receive increasingly hostile responses from other Board Members for his more conservative views, and was informed by Foxman that he would have to realize that over 95% of those involved in the ADL were liberal and would be unsympathetic to his views. Notwithstanding the adage that for every five Jews in the room there are 10 opinions on everything, the notion that 95 percent (or even 55 percent) of all Jews support bilingual education, gun control, feminism, affirmative action, abortion and the homosexual agenda across the board is not only unfathomable, but further evidence that Foxman has absolutely no legitimate claim to representing the interests of the Jewish masses. For years now, despite numerous unflattering (and under-the-radar) news stories about his complicity in various scandals too numerous and squalid to confine to this space, Abraham Foxman has held himself and been held forth by others as one of the chief national political voices of Jewish people. His misuse of and/or recklessness with ADL funds (see Henry Lyons), his whorish behavior in the Marc Rich pardon, and his general odor in defending such cosmopolitan thuggery; to say nothing of self-righteous condemnations of what he arbitrarily decides to be someone else's intolerance, is brought to the public's attention almost weekly. Last year, during the presidential election, Foxman, using extreme examples, pulled incendiary comments off the Web to imply that anyone that didn't want Joe Lieberman on the national ticket was probably anti-Semitic. Well, in some cases that's entirely possible. It's also possible that they simply thought Joe Lieberman was a putz. Or more significantly, they just might not have agreed with him on the issues. But the substance of disagreement is not important to Mr. Foxman. Regrettably, whatever legitimacy may have accompanied such charges has been diluted by the frequency with which Foxman lodges them, largely in an effort to secure more media attention to raise more money to continue the never-ending battle to tell everyone else how not to offend Abraham Foxman. To his credit, it's a pretty good gig. In April, Foxman was quoted in the New York Times assaulting David Horowitz's campus ad campaign as just another means of fomenting racism and hate. The quip was so lacking in resonance it was almost as if he was walking out to lunch and asked what to do about the Horowitz situation, and in reply he said put something together, use some of the old text, and throw in uhracism and hate. Instead of joining Horowitz in showing the guts to

UK's National Grid to run U.S. power alliance
REUTERS
LONDON, Aug. 28 - Britain's National Grid Group Plc said on Tuesday
it had been appointed independent manager of a new electricity
transmission company serving 11 U.S. states and a population two
thirds the size of the entire UK market.
NATIONAL GRID SAID it would invest $75 million in initial
capital and draw an annual management fee of $14 million under its
initial seven-year contract to run the new company, called the
Alliance Regional Transmission Organization.
The Alliance, created as part of deregulation of the U.S.
electricity market, comprises the transmission systems of 10
companies covering Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri,
North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West
Virginia.
The region covers about 41 million people and has peak load of
roughly 108 gigawatts.
National Grid said it would also be eligible to receive
incentive-based earnings, subject to regulatory approval, by
delivering customer savings and enhanced system reliability.
Rick Sergel, Chief Executive of National Grid USA, told
Reuters he hoped these earnings would match the $14 million
management fee by around the middle of the seven-year contract.
REGULATORY APPROVAL
The Alliance, which aims to start operations on December 15,
has already been substantially approved by the U.S. Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission and is an attempt to meet a regulatory
push for large and efficient domestic electricity markets, National
Grid said.
But the commission has yet to confirm the Alliance's choice of
National Grid as independent manager.
The commission must be satisfied that National Grid is not a
market participant in the area to be served by the Alliance, the
first of its kind in the United States.
National Grid USA already serves around 1.7 million customers
in the northeast United States and agreed last year to buy New York
-based utility Niagara Mohawk Holdings Inc for $3 billion.
The takeover, which Sergel said was on course to be completed
by the end of the year, will create the ninth largest U.S.
electricity utility with an electric customer base of 3.3 million
in addition to 540,000 natural gas clients.
But the company said it did not have a foothold in the 11
states to be covered by the Alliance. We believe that we are
independent, a National Grid spokesman said.70°

[CTRL] SETI Comments on Arecibo Glyph
-Caveat Lector- SETI Article on Arecibo Response Is the Latest Crop Circle a Message from E.T? http://www.seti.org/general/ao_message_crop.html Okay, I read their article so here are my responses: Weak arguments: SETI Wrote: The aliens, if they've received this signal, would obviously be aware of our capability to send and receive high-frequency radio. After all, they would only know of the 1974 transmission by receiving it. And, of course, they've made a point about radio by leaving their message next to a radio antenna. So why would they resort to an extraordinarily crude method of replying - carving simple messages in our wheat? And what was the nature of what we sent? The beef of our message sent in 1974 was just as crude. Why don't they use radio? The wheat graffiti only conveys a handful of information - roughly the equivalent of a few sentences of any text. They could convey far more, in a matter of seconds, by radio. If radio isn't their thing, why don't they simply leave a copy of the Encyclopedia Galactica on the doorstep of either the farmer or the radio observatory? Futhermore, they know that we SCAN the sky looking for signals and we do not have the capability to watch the entire sky for incoming signals. Ours just wanders around the sky. If aliens did receive the message we sent, then they were simply RESPONDING to us. When someone asks you a question, do you recite to them the Encyclopedia Britannica? No. You answer their question. Basically it was a game of I'll show you my weewee, now you show me yours. That is all that happened. After all, if they're carving wheat, they're clearly visiting. They could leave information on paper, as a CD, or in whatever form is convenient. As if a CD or a piece of paper would be any less dubious? If the message arrived on a CD or a piece of paper, it would be far easier to (a) cover up, or (b) claim it was a hoax. Anyone with a copy of Windows Paint and a CD burner can fake a message from space far more easily than what can be done with boards and string. Any such scheme would convey orders of magnitude more information than a wheat carving. Surely aliens who can come to Hampshire are sophisticated enough to offer us more information bits than one can find on a fortune in a Chinese cookie. Again, they were RESPONDING to our message. We gave them the information we were comfortable giving them, they gave back to us the same information about themselves that we gave about ourselves. All I see in that portion of the SETI response are very weak and brittle arguments and not very imaginative, either. How come they look like us? Hollywood aliens always look pretty humanoid, but this is an anthropocentric conceit. Visit the local zoo, and you'll find critters that share 3.5 billion years of evolution and a lot of your DNA. But they don't look like you - they look like fish, or alligators, or I can see the rotten tomatoes flying toward me as I type this, but if this pictograph represents the face of these aliens, then they could be the ones who seeded human life on Earth OR the ones who spliced our original DNA with their own in order to make us more intelligent. That could be part of the message itself. Sure, we evolved from monkeys, but not without some help from alien races. And why do monkeys still exist? Because not all monkeys had their DNA spliced. The 1974 signal was aimed at the cluster M13, which has hundreds of thousands of stars. Of course, M13 is 25,000 light-years distant, which means that the message will not reach its target for another 250 centuries. Clearly, the crop circle can't be a response from any of M13's inhabitants; they haven't gotten the message yet. But what about a random, Milky Way star that might be in the beam of the Arecibo message? Couldn't they have overheard the transmission, and offered this clever carving in reply? No. The Arecibo beam at 2,380 MHz is about 2 arcminutes, which is roughly 1/15th the diameter of the full moon. That's an extremely narrow beam. Imagine shooting an arrow through a giant room from which ping pong balls are hung by threads from the ceiling. The ping pong balls are many thousands of feet apart. How long would the arrow have to travel before it accidentally hit one of these balls? This is analogous to the situation of the Arecibo message, moving in its tightly focused beam through the spaces of the Milky Way. The chances that it has hit another solar system in the 27 years since its broadcast are one in 50,000, approximately. In other words, it's highly, highly unlikely that any star system has yet been exposed to the Arecibo message. Yawn Another weak argument. They are assuming, and predictably so, that we have ALL the answers to the mysteries of the universe right here on Earth, so if we know that something is impossible, then it is impossible. I'm sorry, but the universe is a very old place and

I find it interesting but neither endorse nor refute.

I am sending it out again because I was asked to edit it so another researcher could put it up on his webpage. However, I can't remember who asked me to do this!! So, if you are the one who wanted to link to this article... it is now free of all the typos, bad grammar, mispelled words, and never ending sentences!! It was edited, by our new Rumor Mill News Editor, appropriately named RU!! (And she didn't even make it up!!) As I was reading the article, I paid special attention to the information about the stock market and the gold backed Euro. It is time for this article to be read again!! Rayelan Allan Publisher of Rumor Mill News --- - From the Rumor Mill News Forum http://www.rumormillnews.com FACTION TWO -- THE ABWEHR -- THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARS Posted By: Rayelan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, 10 September 2000, 4:19 p.m. An Explanation Faction Two by Rayelan Allan There is a hidden group of men and women who are in opposition to the New World Order. They call themselves Faction Two. Faction One is the New World Order! Faction Two was created by German and Austrian officers who were forced to flee Europe - BEFORE the end of World War II - because they had been part of the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. The former Nazi officers who created Faction Two were members of a conspiracy headed by Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, who headed the German Abwehr, military intelligence. The Canaris Conspiracy sought to assassinate Adolph Hitler and end the war. They knew the future of their world depended on ending the war quickly, before their enemy could totally destroy their bloodline. They knew that Hitler was controlled by an evil cabal of black masters, who masqueraded as international businessmen and bankers. The war was a way for this evil cabal to make billions of dollars, producing the instruments of war, while eliminating the bloodline of their age-old enemy. The officers who made up the Canaris Conspiracy came from several countries - Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Austria. They were part of the royal families that had made up the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They wanted to end the war and save their countries from the total destruction and enslavement their enemy had in mind for them. These men knew who the real enemy was. Their empire had been destroyed in the late 1890's by the same power that now backed Adolph Hitler. They knew Hitler had sacrificed his soul for power. They knew Hitler was controlling and mesmerizing his followers by using the dark secrets he had learned from the evil masters of the Society of Thule. These occult adepts used black magic to control Hitler and make him their puppet in their quest for world domination. The Dark Masters who made up the Society of Thule have used their dark magic throughout the ages and throughout the nations of the world, to pervert, seduce, corrupt and control leaders. Once the leaders were/are controlled, the Dark Masters could/can enslave the people, and rape and pillage the land with no opposition. From Babylon to Egypt to Rome - wherever this dark cabal raised its head - evil, death and destruction soon followed. The Nazi officers who were members of the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler were not only members of the Hapsburg royal family. They were also members of an age-old Order that had been destroyed, and whose memory had been maligned by the same evil cabal that was now trying to enslave the world. This order is the Knights Templars. The conspirators knew they had to end the war, and the only way to end it quickly was to assassinate Hitler. They reached out to England and America, and asked for help. Both countries refused to help them. Winston Churchill was heard to say that he wanted Germany bombed into oblivion. The bankers in England have a long history of using wars not only to make money, but also to destroy the bloodlines of countries. Baron Amschel Rothschild is well known for the quote, The best time to make money is when blood is running in the streets. He meant that war is a great way to make a killing on the market, by investing in weapons of war and other things that will be needed by armies. Even though the conspirators failed to secure the help of the Allies, they went ahead with their assassination plan. Their attempt failed. Hitler knew who was behind the assassination attempt - members of the German and Austrian Royal Families. The book The Canaris Conspiracy documents the royal
