Judge puts Barak under suspicion
Jonathan Cook and Graham Usher in Jerusalem
Thursday February 28, 2002
The Guardian
Israel's former prime minister, Ehud Barak, and his security minister, Shlomo Ben-
Ami, were warned last night by a panel of judges that they are under suspicion of
acting illegally during its investigations into events at the start of the intifada.
The commission, headed by Justice Theodor Or, sent both men letters advising
them to prepare for more investigation. It has powers to recommend prosecutions for
those it warns.
Mr Barak's government fell in February last year after his negotiations with the
Palestinian leadership failed to reach a peace agreement. His challenger, Ariel
Sharon, defeated him by a large margin.
Justice Or has spent a year examining the events in October 2000 which led to 13
Arab citizens being shot dead by police during protests in the northern Galilee region.
Evidence presented to the commission has shown that the demonstrators were
unarmed. Testimonies, including some from police officers, have hinted at a shoot-
to-kill policy.
It was unclear last night what aspects of Mr Barak's and Mr Ben-Ami's role in the
affair prompted the judges' warning. They may be suspected of having provided false
testimony.
The Or Commission also examined Mr Sharon's visit to the Haram al-Sharif, or
Temple Mount, in Jerusalem on September 28 2000 - an event seen as triggering
the intifada. Mr Barak and Mr Ben-Ami were questioned about their role in approving
the visit.
Yesterday also marked the first day of the trial of Azmi Bishara, a Palestinian
member of the Israeli parliament. He is charged with "supporting a terrorist
organisation", which carries a maximum sentence of three years' imprisonment.
Mr Bishara had become the first knesset member in history to lose parliamentary
immunity for something he had said, rather than done.

[CTRL] Should His Editors Have Sent Him There?
-Caveat Lector- >>>This is interesting considering several many (about 9) journalists were killed or wonded PRIOR to Pearl's terminal event without raising the hackles of the mediacracy. But I can't understand *why* the WSJ (the "Pearl of Wisdom of the busniess elite)(I didn't make up the name and I didn't make up the phrase) would send someone -- a journalist, basically -- somewhere where his kind (scribe) has already been targeted, and successfully. Then, they let him take his wife ... to what is essentially a war zone with refugee Al Qaedans and Talebaniaqs ... whose emotions are already white hot. None of this makes sense. This is especially true when you try to guess the backgrounds (!) of the broadcast journalism content providers who work for Fox and report from Pakistan daily and nightly. More than one of them calls Pearl "Danny" as if they were friends. The ones from Fox might report any problems they've experienced. But I haven't heard of any. None of this Pearl stuff makes sense. A<>E<>R <<< From http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburnpearl.html }}}>Begin February 26, 2002 American Journal Daniel Pearl: Should His Editors Have Sent Him There? By Alexander Cockburn Daniel Pearl's dispatches reminded me somewhat of Peter Kann's in the days when he was the Journal's most light-heartedly stylish reporter, before assuming the imperial purple and becoming the company's CEO. It was Kann, back in the late 1970s, who traveled to Afghanistan, reported that the place was a dump covered with flies and that it was hard to understand why any Great Power would want any truck with the place. Ironically, since his captors charged him with being an agent of the American Empire and of Zionism, Pearl was not afraid to file reports contradicting the claims of the State Department or the Pentagon or even of the mad dogs on the Journal's editorial pages whose ravings fulfill on a weekly basis the most paranoid expectations of a Muslim fanatic. Just about the time they were killing Pearl, had they paused to buy a copy of the Wall Street Journal, his killers would have found a reprint on the editorial pages of a particularly feverish article from Commentary, in-house periodical of the American Jewish Committee, stating flatly that to be to be opposed to Israel was to be anti-Zionist, and to be anti-Zionist was to be anti-Semitic. It's the familiar two-step logic of the Israeli lobby: oppose the sale of Apache helicopters to Sharon or the bulldozing of Palestinian homes means you are a co-conspirator in the Holocaust. The Wall Street Journal editorial page wrote, the day after news of Pearl's death was confirmed, that it showed "evil" was still stalking the world, "evil" being the current term of art for "awfulness beyond our comprehension". Now, these editorial writers have spent years writing urgent advisories to whatever US president happens to be in power that the most extreme reactionary forces in Israel must be given unconditional backing. It would take any Islamic fanatic about fifteen minutes in a clips library to demonstrate that if bombs are to be dropped on Palestinians, peace overtures shunned, just settlement rejected, then the Wall Street Journal's editorial page is on board, full throat. Why was it left to Pearl's wife to offer herself to the kidnapers in lieu of her husband. Why did not the WSJ's editorial page editor, Paul Gigot, proffer himself, or if he had protested that his credentials were not yet sufficiently seasoned since he has only recently plumped his behind into the editorial chair, why not bring Robert Bartley out of retirement, send him to Karachi for discussion of the relationship of editorial writing in the Wall Street Journal to overall moral responsibility for US policies in the Middle East and South Asia? So if that WSJ editorial writer who invoked "evil" had been honest, he might have written, "it may well be that Danny Pearl was killed because his murderers held him responsible for positions on the Middle East conflict and on Islam oft expressed in these editorial pages. If so, then he died for principles that we honor and will always uphold", or something of that sort, while simultaneously emphasizing that reporters are not editorial writers and that Pearl bore no responsibility for the editorials. Might it not have occurred to Pearl's editors, those who assigned him to South Asia, that the fact that he was an Israeli citizen might have put him in extra peril, given the fact that he was seeking to contact an extremely dangerous crowd of Muslim terrorists in Karachi? . The fact of his citizenship only emerged after his death, in a report, February 24, in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, by Yossi Melman: "Professor Yehuda Pearl, father of murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, has told Ha'aretz that he fears that making public his son's Israeli citizenship could adversely affect investigative efforts by Pakistani police to apprehend the killers a
[CTRL] When Things Turn Weird, The Weird Turn Pro
-Caveat Lector- http://www.tompaine.com/feature.cfm/ID/5188 When Things Turn Weird, The Weird Turn Pro Propaganda, The Pentagon And The Rendon Group Jeff Stein is co-author, with Khidhir Hamza, of Saddam's Bombmaker: The Daring Escape of the Man Who Built Iraq's Secret Weapon (Scribner 2000). A few years ago, Washington media consultant John Rendon was regaling an audience of cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy with one of his favorite war stories. When victorious U.S. troops rolled into Kuwait City, he noted, they were greeted by hundreds of Kuwaitis waving American flags. The scene, flashed around the world again and again on CNN, left little doubt that the U.S. Marines were welcome in Kuwait. "Did you ever stop to wonder," he asked, "how the people of Kuwait City, after being held hostage for seven long and painful months, were able to get hand-held American, and for that matter, the flags of other coalition countries?" A ripple of knowing chuckles passed across Rendons military audience. "Well you now know the answer," he said, "That was one of my jobs then." And what a job it was. It was a global propaganda coup, especially in corners of the Arab world where even Saddam Hussein usually wins a popularity contest with Uncle Sam. From Cairo to Karachi, millions of people saw the American liberators welcomed to Kuwait -- again and again. And thats just one of the reasons that John Rendon, a beefy media wizard who started out in national politics scheduling campaign stops for Jimmy Carter, shuns the label of public relations flack in favor what he billed himself at the Air Force Academy: "an information warrior and a perception manager." Rendon has had a lot of plum assignments since Desert Storm, including a $23 million propaganda campaign in 1991 aimed at undermining Saddam Hussein with smuggled leaflets and radio broadcasts beamed into Iraq. And now Rendon has another plum -- it was reported recently that hed been hired for $100,000 a month to help the Pentagon plant propaganda in the foreign media as part of the Bush administrations War on Terrorism. According to The New York Times, which broke the story February 19, "The Pentagon is developing plans to provide news items, possibly even false ones, to foreign media organizations as part of a new effort to influence public sentiment and policy makers in both friendly and unfriendly countries." The leak clearly ambushed the Pentagon, which quickly retreated in a fog of contradictory statements that culminated in an announcement just a week later by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that the whole idea had probably been scrapped. "I met with Undersecretary Doug Feith this morning and he indicated to me that he's decided to close down the Office of Strategic Influence," Rumsfeld told a Pentagon news conference. That didnt mean, of course, that the idea was dead, or couldnt be moved to another agency with more experience in "disinformation," such as the Central Intelligence Agency. No one at the Pentagon, the White House, or The Rendon Group would respond to a reporters call asking whether the idea could be resuscitated elsewhere, or whether The Rendon Groups contract had been canceled or transferred. Rendon was already working for the Pentagon. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, the Pentagon quickly awarded The Rendon Group a $392,000 contract to counter negative portrayals of the U.S. bombing in Afghanistan abroad, according to news accounts last fall. A spokeswoman for the company said she could not reveal what the company did for the Pentagon on that project, but a well-informed source who has worked with Rendon said it went beyond wooing foreign journalists to setting up disguised- source, pro-U.S Web sites in several foreign languages and blast-faxing foreign media and search engines with pro-U.S. information. If the Rendon Groups track record is any guide, however, the companys real expertise is in spending taxpayer dollars. Rendon has had clients in 78 countries, according to its own Web site, ranging from the Kuwaiti Royal Family to the embattled Colombian Army to the Haitian government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide. In 1989, it was hired by the CIA to assist the campaign of Guillermo Endara against Manuel Noriega in Panama, according to ABC News. It also has corporate and non-profit clients, such as the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, which it helped promote the ban of landmines. If the Rendon Groups track record against Saddam Hussein is any guide, however, the companys real expertise is in spending taxpayer dollars. In 1992, according to several later accounts, including a book by the journalists Andrew and Patrick Cockburn (Out of the Ashes: The Resurrection of Saddam Hussein) the CIA hired The Rendon Group to assist London-based Iraqi exiles in toppling the Baghdad regime. It started out by giving the exiles, an unwieldy coalition of Sunni and Shiite Muslims and Kurds, its name: the Iraqi Nati
[CTRL] Folly in the trenches of Bosnia
-Caveat Lector- http://www.sptimes.com/2002/02/21/news_pf/Weekend/Folly_in_the_trenches.shtml Weather | Sports | Forums | Comics | Classifieds | Calendar | Movies Folly in the trenches of Bosnia By STEVE PERSALL, Times Film Critic © St. Petersburg Times, published February 21, 2002 The follies of war are brilliantly skewered in a Bosnian trench by first-time director Danis Tanovic's No Man's Land. The follies of war are brilliantly skewered in a Bosnian trench by first-time director Danis Tanovic's No Man's Land. Tanovic takes a simple setup, enemies trapped together, and turns the situation into a Strangelovian satire. It doesn't matter whether Serbs or Croats were justified to fight; Tanovic's view is that things have spun out of control so long that mending barbed-wire fences now is impossible. The film opens in 1993 when a Serb patrol gets lost in a fog, a clever piece of symbolism. The soldiers are ambushed, but one, Ciki (Branko Djuric), survives and tumbles into a battlefield trench. He watches as two Croats inspect the trench and install a land mine under a fallen comrade, an insidious booby trap that will mutilate anyone lifting the body. Ciki kills one soldier and wounds another, Nino (Rene Bitorajac). A stalemate develops until the rivals realize that the booby-trapped soldier, Cera (Filip Sovagovic), isn't dead. But if Cera moves in the slightest way, they all will be. News of the situation attracts United Nations peacekeepers (snidely referred to as Smurfs because of their powder-blue helmets). Tanovic saves his sharpest barbs for these referees, depicting them as well-intended posers without genuine impact. Right behind the U.N. on Tanovic's hit list is the electronic media, represented by TV reporter Jane Livingstone (Katlin Cartridge), who knows the drama in that trench could earn big ratings. No Man's Land never stoops to slapstick, but Tanovic's canny sense of the absurd makes everyone appear to be slipping on political banana peels. It's a film laden with wise metaphors and offhand gestures of incompetence when they're needed least. The movie becomes its own sly punch line. Knowledge of Bosnian war dynamics isn't necessary because the human failings contributing to the mess are universal. The laughs catch in your throat with Tanovic's final image, a stunning symbol of a post-Sept. 11 world bracing for the next senseless explosion. No Man's Land won the Golden Globe for best foreign language film and is nominated for an Academy Award in the foreign film category. The film also won the best screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival. Shown with English subtitles, although much of the dialogue is in English.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,3-221487,00.html February 28, 2002 India braced for anarchy after fatal train attack By Catherine Philp, South Asia Correspondent INDIA faces the prospect of more mob violence after Hindu hardliners vowed last night to build a temple on the disputed Ayodhya holy site. This was despite an attack in which Muslims set fire to a train carrying Hindu activists from the site, killing at least 55 people, including 14 children. Religious tension is rising against the background of the War on Terror and the conflict with Pakistan over Kashmir which has a Muslim majority. Across the state there were reports of sporadic unrest last night: two buses were attacked and burnt in Ahmedabad. Elsewhere one man was killed and two others injured in apparent revenge attacks. The Indian Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, has appealed for calm and cancelled a visit to this weekends Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Australia. In the town of Godhra, where the train was set on fire, a youth of 17 was shot dead by police as they dispersed the mob. The streets were later deserted as police enforced a curfew. Thousands of Hindus had gathered in Ayodhya to plan the building of the temple on the ruins of the 16th-century Babri mosque. Its destruction by a Hindu mob ten years ago caused riots throughout India in which 3,000 died. The Sabarmati Express was taking Hindu militants home to Gujarat from a purification ceremony at the temple site when it was attacked. Police said that a mob gathered outside the station as the passengers shouted Hindu slogans. As the train left the station it was surrounded by about 2,000 people. They doused one carriage with petrol and set it alight, trapping dozens of passengers inside. ~~~ Forwarded as information only; no endorsement to be presumed + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.

[CTRL] Wealthy donors to cover Law's settlements
-Caveat Lector- http://www.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/prie02272002.htm Wealthy donors to cover Law's settlements by Tom Mashberg and Maggie Mulvihill Wednesday, February 27, 2002 A top financial adviser to Bernard Cardinal Law said yesterday that Law will ``bend over backwards'' to compensate the victims of pedophile priests, even though the cost of doing so will exceed the insurance available to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. The adviser, John J. ``Jack'' Shaughnessy Sr. of Milton, a construction magnate and member of the board of Catholic Charities, also said church benefactors have assured Law they will ``step to the plate'' and make funds available to help the archdiocese cover settlement costs - which by some estimates could reach $100 million. ``It's safe to say the price of all this will far exceed the insurance available,'' said Shaughnessy, president of Shaughnessy & Ahern Co. of South Boston. ``But His Eminence, and I would say most of his advisers, are 1000 percent behind the proposition that the legitimate victims of these few aberrant priests must be made whole.'' The issue of how to cope with numerous suits against the church, some longstanding and others recent, has been a topic of spirited debate within the cardinal's inner circle, Shaughnessy said. Legal advisers, he said, have urged Law to contest all lawsuits vigorously, fearing a generous payment strategy might prompt dubious claims. But the faction that supports ``prompt and fair'' payouts - including prominent lay Catholics and members of Law's hierarchy - has prevailed, said Shaughnessy, who cleared his remarks by phone this week with aides to Law. Law's hope is threefold, Shaughnessy said: to ensure victims and their families fair compensation; to reverse the tide of dismal publicity afflicting the archdiocese over the abuse scandal; and to destigmatize the ``good priests'' demoralized by the drumbeat of ugly revelations. Lawyers for the bulk of the 125-plus plaintiffs against the church reacted with caution yesterday. ``Right now I am guarded in my response, based on my recent experiences with the church and my clients,'' said Jeffrey A. Newman, who represents 14 victims of serial child molester and former archdiocese youth worker Christopher J. Reardon. ``I have clients who are literally coming apart at the seams, who need institutionalization, yet they are still laboring through mediations with church attorneys.'' And Mitchell Garabedian, lawyer for 86 alleged victims of convicted and defrocked pedophile priest John J. Geoghan, said Law's lawyers just yesterday put off a deposition with him set for today. ``Obviously the church should do the right thing and settle,'' he said. ``But I've been hearing those kinds of comments for years.'' Putting an exact figure on the lawsuits either settled or pending against the archdiocese for molestation claims has proven difficult. The Herald first reported on Jan. 26 that at least 50 Archdiocese of Boston priests have settled molestation lawsuits involving one or more victims in the last 40 years. Since then, the archdiocese has given Massachusetts law enforcement officials more than 80 names of suspect priests. Because there is duplication due to overlapping jurisdictions, the actual number lies somewhere between 60 and 80, attorneys familiar with the suits say. The cost of previous settlements is unknown, but payouts run from $10,000 to $500,000, depending on extent of abuse, according to settlements reviewed by the Herald. In recent weeks, as the magnitude of priestly abuse has become known, numerous new plaintiffs have stepped forward to sue the archdiocese, and Law personally, for letting known pedophiles migrate from parish to parish despite clear signs they might reoffend. In addition to the Geoghan and Reardon plaintiffs, who all told number about 120, multiple allegations have arisen in recent weeks against the Revs. Paul R. Shanley, with 6 accusers, and Paul M. Desilets, with 21 accusers; and former Revs. Paul J. Mahan, with 15 accusers, and Bernard J. Lane, with 3 accusers. Single new allegations have also been made against dozens of current and former priests. Experts say future settlements, which often include funding for long-term psychotherapy as well as large damage awards, could average $500,000, putting potential liability in the $100 million range. In January, as the molestation scandal gained steam, Law stated emphatically that insurance would cover the price of all settlements. But the Herald soon reported that the church's insurance till was running dry. Some legal advisers then urged Law to embrace the ``charitable immunity cap'' - a state law limiting liability of nonprofits to $20,000 per settlement. Law sought the advice of prominent Bay State Catholics, meeting three times in the past six weeks with an ad hoc group of friends and backers. Given the ``boiling pot'' of bad publicity, Shaughnessy said, the consensus now is
[CTRL] ICTY Goes ICKY on Slobo
-Caveat Lector- >From www.wsws.org WSWS : News & Analysis : Europe : The Balkans The Hague Tribunal: Milosevic charges NATO with war crimes Part One By Chris Marsden 28 February 2002 Back to screen version| Send this link by email | Email the author This is the first of a three part series dealing with the trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic at The Hague. On Tuesday, February 12, proceedings opened in the trial of Slobodan Milosevic at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. For the next two days, the prosecution team led by Carla Del Ponte offered its introductory remarks in the indictment of the former Yugoslav president for war crimes in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. Afterwards, in what was obviously highly politically embarrassing for the ICTY and the Western powers, Milosevics defence statement presented a legally impeccable rebuttal of the charges against him. Milosevic then turned the tables on his accusers by arguing cogently that the main responsibility for the eruption of ethic conflict in the Balkans rests with the United States, Germany and the other NATO powers and that it is they who should in fact be charged with war crimes. Milosevic was naturally keen to present himself in the best possible light at all times and no objective observer of Balkan events over the past two decades would fail to acknowledge that he shares political responsibility for the tragic events of the 1990s. But the fact remains that his version of what took place contains far more truth than the equally self-serving account presented by the Western governments that provides the political underpinnings of the present trial. In opening the prosecution argument, del Ponte said that the ICTY was based on the application of international humanitarian law. Milosevic was being prosecuted on the basis of his individual criminal responsibility, and No state or organisation is on trial. This is a criminal trial, she went on and the prosecution would not respond to Milosevics attempt to make interventions of a political nature. These gyrations are extraordinary. How can Milosevic be on trial simply as an individual, given that he is being charged precisely because he was a former head of state? Moreover, who but the wilfully naïve could possibly accept the non-existence of a political dimension to the most high-profile trial in the world today? Del Ponte attributed the entire tragedy of the breakup of Yugoslavia to the personal ambition of Milosevic. Her attempt to do so reached bizarre dimensions. Milosevic was neither nationalist nor racist, she said. Rather, Beyond the nationalist pretext and the horror of ethnic cleansing, behind the grandiloquent rhetoric and the hackneyed phrases he used, the search for power is what motivated Slobodan Milosevic. Senior Trial Attorneys Geoffrey Nice and Dirk Ryneveld followed up with an outline of the charges against Milosevic, listing various examples of killings and atrocities in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. In order to make Milosevic directly responsible for crimes that were mostly attributed to various Serbian irregular forces, and less often to soldiers serving in the regular army, Nice simply insisted that Milosevic must have known what was happening and was therefore culpable. Beginning with the indictment on Kosovo, Nice accused Milosevic of poisoning the political atmosphere through repressive acts and inflammatory nationalist speeches. Nice did acknowledge the emergence of a separatist movement within the ethnic Albanian population in the late 1980s. But as regards terrorist violence by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), he gave this an apologia by stating his surprise that the reaction of Kosovo, or of the Kosovo Albanians, was as muted and peaceful for a time as it was. Nice played a clip from a speech by Milosevic on June 28 1989, celebrating the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo, highlighting just one statement: Six centuries later todaywe are once again fighting battles and faced with battles. They are not armed battles, although such battles are not excluded either. The fact that Milosevic did not exclude armed battles was meant to associate him with what followed in the next years. Nice then gave a highly truncated chronology of the subsequent breakup of Yugoslavia and the conflict that ensued. He insisted that the unifying thread between the conflict in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo was Milosevic utilising ethnic cleansing to carry out his aim or objective of control and domination by Serbs over territory with different co-perpetrators who were all part of a common plan. In Croatia, everything carried out by the army, the Territorial Defence units of the Krajina and of Slavonia, the Territorial Defence of Serbia and of Montenegro and a broad array of paramilitaries was supposedly done as part of Milosevics plan. The evidence shows that the forces Ive cited op

Re: [CTRL] KLA Supports Slobo
-Caveat Lector- BF>Without defending Milosevik, I can say that you can trust Islamic extremists---to be Islamic extremists. The propaganda was definitely one-sided. If the United States, the pure and innocent, were faced with what Yugoslavia and Israel have faced, then I think that there would have been a torrent, as there was in Afghanistan. Instead, there was moralizing from Albright and Colin Powell about "all sides coming to the negotiating table" as if there was a moral parity. No more moralizing to the Israelis or the Russians now! These two nations have every right to defend themselves against the evil forces arrayed against them. Milosevik was a thug, who committed acts that cannot be defended, but he also faced a big problem that can bring the ugliness out of so many would-be thugs. He faced a series of national secession movements, many of which conducted their own campaigns of ethnic cleansing. The Union in the Civil War conducted a similar campaign against the South, Native Americans, and others who threatened it. War is aweful, and should be avoided. Unfortunately, when it happens the worst is brought out in people and often that cannot be stopped. Slobo was also right about somthing. We essentially fought on the same side as Bin Laden, with no thanks from him. These terrorists respect only one thing, and that is strength, just as do their neo-nazi allies which are a domestic fifth column here in the west. So strength it must be.

[CTRL] Fwd: [Spy News] Bush to Nominate Helgerson CIA Inspector General
--- Begin Message --- http://www.pittsburghfirst.com/rc/news/docs/1630020l.htm Posted: 05:44 PM EST Wednesday, February 27, 2002. Bush to Nominate Helgerson CIA Inspector General WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush intends to nominate John Helgerson to the post of CIA inspector general, a position that conducts investigations of possible internal wrongdoing at the U.S. spy agency, the White House said on Wednesday. If confirmed by the Senate, Helgerson would fill the vacancy left by former CIA Inspector General Britt Snider, who retired in January 2001 and this month was appointed to lead a congressional investigation into intelligence failures surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks on America. While inspector general, Snider conducted reviews into the CIA's handling of the computer-misuse scandal involving former CIA Director John Deutch, who placed classified material onto non-secure home computers, and into the CIA picking a target for the NATO bombing campaign on Yugoslavia that mistakenly turned out to be the Chinese Embassy. The CIA inspector general also conducts inspections of different components of the spy agency to identify strengths and shortcomings, as well as financial audits. Helgerson, 58, had a lengthy tenure with the CIA, joining in 1971 and serving from 1989 to 1993 as its deputy director for intelligence, which is the head of the spy agency's analytical department. Helgerson currently is chairman of the National Intelligence Council, which operates like a government think tank for intelligence issues, producing classified assessments on topics ranging from missile threats to terrorism. He joined the National Intelligence Council in August from the post of deputy director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency. ``John's breadth and depth of experience at CIA and throughout the intelligence community -- as well as his sense of fairness and his absolute integrity -- make him eminently qualified for this demanding and extraordinarily important position,'' CIA Director George Tenet said in a statement.

[CTRL] How to Make People More Responsible
-Caveat Lector- L i b e r t y W i r e |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| Harry Browne's weekly "Liberty & Peace" commentary appears today on www.WorldNetDaily.com . . . How to Make People More Responsible by Harry Browne Some people object to libertarian ideas because there are too many irresponsible people in the world -- people who will cause trouble if the government doesn't restrain them. They say we must have big government because some people won't act decently toward others, some people won't plan for their own retirement, some people are too stupid to take care of themselves properly. In fact, the entire effort to wed morality and politics is based on the assumption that there are immoral or irresponsible people whom the government must control. Yes, there are plenty of people who won't act responsibly. There are people who have no regard for the consequences of their own acts. There are people who seem incapable of behaving wisely or benevolently. But we already have a $2 trillion federal government. Why is it that after amassing so much power and taking so much of our money, the government hasn't already protected us from irresponsibility? It's because politicians don't use the power and money you give them to do the things _you_ want. They use those resources to do what _they_ want. And all they want is more power -- and more power -- and more power. Your Are the Target That power is aimed at you, not at the people you want to control. Politicians exploit the existence of irresponsible people to justify rigid controls on _your_ life. Because some people won't plan for their old age, _you_ must be forced into Social Security. Because some people will do strange things if they look at dirty pictures on the Internet, _your_ access to the Internet must be restricted. We ask for a government that will restrain or punish those who impose their way physically on others, but we get instead a government that regulates virtually all areas of our own lives. Discouraging Irresponsibility So what should we do about people who won't take responsibility for their own actions? I believe the answer is simple: _Set them free_. Give them the freedom to make their own decisions, to face the consequences of their own acts, to see for themselves what their actions do to others and how others respond to them. Only free people have an incentive to be virtuous. Only people who bear the consequences of their own acts will care about those consequences and try to learn from their mistakes. A free society rewards virtue and punishes irresponsibility. Government does just the opposite -- subsidizing irresponsibility while taxing work and responsibility. What do we do about people who might not plan for their own retirement? _Set them free_. Let each person know that his future depends largely on his own actions. If younger people see older people who haven't planned ahead and have to rely on charity, the young will be more likely to provide for the future. Today when someone plans poorly, the only consequence people see is a demand for more government. What do we do about people who are insensitive to other people? _Set them free_. Let other people shun them or respect them for what they do. Let each person bear the results of being civil or uncivil. Freedom & Responsibility It's often said that freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin -- that if you want freedom, you must first accept the responsibility that goes with it. The truth is simpler. Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. _They are the same thing_. Freedom _is_ responsibility. Responsibility is experiencing the consequences of your own acts -- not the consequences of others' acts or making others pay for what you do. And that's what freedom is. Without government to force others to pay for your pleasures or mistakes, and without forcing you to pay for what others do, you are a free, responsible human being. Freedom and responsibility are inseparably linked -- not because they _should_ be, but because they _are_. Responsibility accompanies freedom, whether or not you want it to. So the only way to induce people to be more responsible is to _set them free_. First Things First We are told America must have a moral revival before we can have greater freedom -- that people must be taught responsibility before they can be free. This puts the cart before the horse. If we wait on government to make people responsible, we will wait forever. We have to decide whether we want a nation of self-reliant individuals who improve their own lives by offering needed services to others -- or a nation in which everyone is responsible for everyone else and so the government must control every aspect of our lives. We don't need a moral revival, we don't need politicians making moral decisions for us, we don't need more controls. If we want people to act more responsibly, there's only one way to
[CTRL] USA Is the Real Rogue State
-Caveat Lector- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/smygo Posted on Mon, Feb. 25, 2002 Philadelphia Inquirer In its unilateralist disregard, U.S. is the real 'rogue state' By Richard B. Du Boff and Edward S. Herman Most people believe that their own country is virtuous and that only others misbehave enough to qualify as international outlaws. But the United States has elevated this popular sentiment to the level of national policy - by designating certain countries, of its own choosing, as "rogue states." The dictionary defines rogue as "a fierce and dangerous animal, like an elephant, that separates itself from its herd." By this standard, the United States, not the piddling tyrannies named by the State Department, is the world's number one rogue. Since it obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 - cities, not military targets - the United States has bombed 18 countries, and invaded still others, with no declaration of war nor any possibility of retaliation, at least until Sept. 11. In the case of Afghanistan, the United States launched a unilateral war of revenge against a brutal regime of its own creation, although none of the 19 hijackers were Afghan and none of the thousands of "detainees" held in the United States and abroad have been charged with any participation in the crime. Furthermore, the alleged "mastermind," still at large, might well have been turned over to the United States through negotiations - which President Bush rejected outright from the start. All this is defended on the ground that we are "so good" (as the President has said) and always act in the world's interest. But in fact, U.S. actions reflect the power of corporate interests. For example, the United States refused to participate in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development-sponsored talks in Paris in May 2001, on ways to crack down on offshore and other tax and money-laundering havens. For any other nation, this would now be highly embarrassing in the age of Enron, but such a thought would never even occur to U.S. policymakers. Or consider Bush's declaration in March 2001 that the Kyoto Protocol was "dead" - all because it might harm the U.S. economy. Bush separates himself from the global consensus based on his reading of U.S. interests alone - and his stance coincides with that of the oil industry, not with the real interests of the American people. Several U.S. unilateral positions have been geared to the demands of the military-industrial complex, and other parties advocating an aggressive foreign policy. The United States has withdrawn from the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, gutting this landmark arms control accord to the dismay of virtually every country in the world. The United States has not ratified the Comprehensive (Nuclear) Test Ban Treaty signed by 164 nations; Bush opposes it. This country rejects the Land Mine Treaty, concluded in Ottawa in December 1997 and signed by 122 countries. This country was also the only nation to oppose the U.N. Agreement to Curb the International Flow of Illicit Small Arms in July 2001. The United States rejects an International Criminal Court because our personnel might become subject to its jurisdiction. The United Nations is treated the same way: When the United States can get the Security Council to do what it wants - say, bomb Iraq in 1991 - it goes that route; if not, as with its invasion of Panama in 1989, it simply disregards the United Nations or uses its veto. In Afghanistan, the administration couldn't be bothered with the United Nations or any other international body to deal with what it declared to be a "crime against humanity": It simply bombed. As for the Guantanamo Bay prisoners, classified as "unlawful combatants," South African jurist Richard Goldstone points out that this is "not a term recognized by international law." If prisoners, they are entitled to POW treatment; if simply criminals, "under the U.S. Constitution, they've got even better protection." But for U.S. leaders, international law is for others, not ourselves. Whether an action involves waging war, with the devastation and death that "precision bombing" brings to a chosen country, or expanding environmental controls, the United States is proclaiming, more loudly than ever, that it will "act unilaterally," whatever the cost to others - and sooner or later to its own people.

[CTRL] A History of Terror
-Caveat Lector- .. >From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related "New Paradigms Posts" at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: "M.A. Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Subject: A History of Terror Date: Sunday, February 10, 2002 10:21 PM ~~for educational purposes only~~ [Title 17 U.S.C. section 107] A History of Terror by Adam Young CIA director George Tenet told the Senate Intelligence Committee that there is every reason to expect more terror attacks in the coming months, because al-Qaida has not been destroyed. He is probably right, and he might have gone on to note that government has failed in its promise to protect Americans against terrorism, and that would-be terrorists of the world are now more motivated than ever before. This should raise some fundamental questions about the whole rationale of the war and U.S. foreign policy. In a 1997 report on the scourge of terrorism, the Pentagon's Defense Science Board observed: "Historical data show a strong correlation between U.S. involvement in international situations and an increase in terrorist attacks against the United States." Recognizing that fact is crucial to understanding why both terror and the response to terror have become such grave threats to freedom and prosperity. As a part of its status as the worlds only "superpower," the U.S. is the only country in the world that actively attempts to police regions outside its own, so it should come as no surprise that one-third of all terrorist attacks worldwide are perpetrated against U.S. targets. Far from providing security, U.S. policy is stirring up security threats, even as the government uses the aftermath of successful attacks as rationales to expand government power. Lets recount some highlights of the last half-century of terror in light of U.S. foreign policy: o November 1, 1950: Puerto Rican nationalists attempt to assassinate President Truman. In 1954, the House of Representatives would be sprayed with gunfire, wounding five congressmen. In 1973 and again in 1974, bombs would be set off in New York City. In 1975, the FALN would plant bombs in New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., killing several people and wounding dozens. o June 5, 1968: Robert F. Kennedy is assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian immigrant who regarded RFK as a collaborator with Israel. o March 1971: The U.S. Senate is bombed again. Suspected this time are opponents of the Vietnam fiasco. o November 4, 1979: Supporters of the Ayatollah Khomeini storm the U.S. embassy in Teheran in anger at the longtime U.S. support for the Shah's despotic regime. It would not be until two years later that the hostages would be freed. o December 1979: A mob of Iranians burns down the U.S. embassy in Tripoli, Libya. Iranian-sponsored terrorism against the United States is promoted as a just cause in retaliation for U.S. support for the Shah and Israel. o April 8, 1983: The Iranian-backed Hezbollah bombs the U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. The attack kills 17 Americans. All attacks by Hezbollah in Lebanon around this time are in retaliation for the U.S. openly choosing sides, supporting the Christian government against the Muslim militias by training and arming the Lebanese National Army (the LNA). U.S. Marines even began patrolling with the LNA, and the U.S. Navy and Marines began shelling the Muslims to support the LNA. o October 23, 1983: A suicide truck-bomber from Hezbollah attacks the U.S. embassy and destroys the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 290 people and wounding 200 more. The U.S. Marines soon withdraw from Beirut. A Hezbollah spokesman brags that it took only two "martyrs" to force the Marines out of Lebanon: one who blew up the embassy, and the other who drove the truck that destroyed the Marine barracks. In September 1984, Hezbollah would bomb the U.S. embassy annex in East Beirut, killing 23 people and wounding four Marine guards. During the 1980s, Hezbollah would kidnap 19 American diplomats, educators, businessmen, clergy, journalists, and military personnel, and kill at least four. o March 1986: The largest peacetime American naval armada ever assembled sails across the "line of death," which, according to Khadafy, marks Libyan territorial waters in the Gulf of Sidra. Fulfilling the predictions of U.S. defense analysts, he shoots off missiles at the fleet. U.S. forces then destroy a missile site and three Libyan naval craft. In retaliation, Khadafy sponsors the bombing on April 5, 1986, of the La Belle nightclub in West Berlin, which killed an American soldier and a Turkish woman. On April 15, 1986 (two weeks after the "line of death" incident in late March), the U.S. retaliates for the La Belle bombing w
[CTRL] THE PLOT SICKENS-The anthrax mystery deepens – and the implications are ominous
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j022702.html THE PLOT SICKENS The anthrax mystery deepens – and the implications are ominous In my last column, I pointed to the probable genesis of the mysterious anthrax letters – a clique of former US scientists, including one in particular who had been fired from his US government job at Fort Detrick's biowar research lab – and complained that a government cover-up was in the works. The piece was posted on Friday. On Monday, a Washington Times story announced that the authorities had focused on a former US government scientist who had once worked at Ft. Detrick and had been fired – twice. I'm not assuming cause-and-effect, but then again: that's pretty quick results, wouldn't you say? Now if only I could get the same kind of action on the Fox News story about a certain foreign intelligence agency that had foreknowledge of 9/11…. ASK YOURSELF The Washington Times also reveals that the chief suspect is "employed as a contractor in the Washington area." Curiouser and curiouser. Is his contract with a government agency? If so, which one would have use for a maker of mass murder? As a libertarian, I am naturally for privatization: but there are some government-owned and operated assets that just can't – or, rather, shouldn't – be privatized: that is, if one could even define germ warfare as an "asset" in any meaningful sense of the term. As my friend Lew Rockwell said to me recently: "If you want to see the real evil of government, then ask yourself: what other entity would unleash something so monstrous?" I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE Citing law enforcement sources, the Washington Times reports that the suspect's reaction to the events of 9/11 was to make a threat to use anthrax. His home was searched, where "numerous chemicals" were found – but no anthrax. The story cites Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, a microbiologist with the Federation of American Scientists, whose fascinating analysis of the anthrax mystery is must reading – but only for those who don't scare all that easily. Because what she reveals about this grotesque case is unsettling in the extreme, leading to the undeniable conclusion that the US government has something to hide. As to just what that might be, I almost don't want to go there THE SHORT LIST Rosenberg says that she can't understand the FBI's lethargy in this matter. After all, they've been working on a very short list of suspects: not that many people have both the scientific knowledge and the access to vital materials necessary to the making of such highly weaponised anthrax as was delivered to the offices of Senators Daschle and Leahy. The FBI, Rosenberg contends, has finally narrowed it down to "a particular person ... a member of the biochemical community." This person, it seems, has been questioned more than once, but no one is pressing any charges. Why not? "Is the FBI dragging its feet?" Rosenberg asks. Her answer gives law enforcement the benefit of a doubt: "I just don't know. And, if so, I don't know why." If the FBI is our only protection against anthrax-wielding terrorists, then I don't think I want to know. God help us all. ATTACK OF THE MAD SCIENTIST Naturally, the FBI has denied the Washington Times story, and Ari Fleischer, the President's spokesman, averred that the number of suspects is more than one: "I wish it were that easy and that simple right now," he said. Yet they're still sticking to their "lone nut" theory, with Van Harp, assistant director of the FBI's Washington office, writing in a letter to microbiologists nationwide that this person has "a clear, rational thought process and appears to be very organized in the production and mailing of these letters." Oh, now I get it: instead of arresting him, they're going to make him a job offer. But just how credible is this brilliant-but-mad scientist scenario? ANOTHER 'LONE NUT'? Both the FBI and the Washington Times assume that we are dealing with a single perpetrator, a lone nut who, for some reason, and with remarkable efficiency, managed to pull off a feat many at first attributed to state-sponsored terrorism. I don't buy it. As Dr. Meryl Nass puts it in Red Flags Weekly: "I am referring here to the anthrax attacker in the singular and using the male gender, although I suspect that, for logistical reasons, it is unlikely that one person acted alone, or was even a loner, as the FBI profile has suggested." A FEW QUESTIONS Dr. Nass asks some very interesting questions that give us some insight into the possible motives of the attacker(s): "Why had the anthrax been sent in letters, rather than released in ventilation systems, tunnels or subways? The (estimated) two trillion spores per letter could have caused a lot more mischief in another setting." MAKING AN IMPACT A true terrorist would want to spread death, and not just fear. Aside from that, however: "Something else was odd. The attacker had actually warned the recipients that the letters contained anthrax, a

[CTRL] Israel and the U.S.: A Unique Relationship
http://www.aztlan.net/petras.htm Israel and the U.S.: A Unique Relationship by Professor James Petras U.S.-Israel relations have been described in a variety of ways. Politicians refer to Israel as the U.S.'s most reliable ally in the Middle East, if not the world. Others speak of Israel as a strategic ally. Some speak of Israel and the U.S. sharing common democratic values in the war against terrorism. On the Left, critics speak of Israel as a tool of U.S. imperialism for undermining Arab nationalism, and a bulwark against fundamentalist Islamic terrorism. A few writers point to the "excess influence" which the Israeli governments exercise on U.S. government policy via powerful Jewish lobbies and individuals in media, financial and governmental circles. While there is a grain of truth in much of the above there is a unique aspect in this relationship between an imperial power like the U.S. and regional power such as Israel. Unlike Washington's relation with the EU, Japan and Oceana, it is Israel which pressures and secures vast transfer of financial resources ($2.8 billion per year, $84 billion over 30 years). Israel secures the latest arms and technology transfers, unrestrictive entry into U.S. markets, free entry of immigrants, unconditional commitment of U.S. support in case of war and repression of colonized people and guaranteed U.S. vetoes against any UN resolutions. From the angle of inter-state relations, it is the lesser regional power which exacts a tribute from the Empire, a seeming unique or paradoxical outcome. The explanation for this paradox is found in the powerful and influential role of pro-Israeli Jews in strategic sectors of the U.S. economy, political parties, Congress and Executive Branch. The closest equivalent to past empires is that of influential white settlers in the colonies, who through their overseas linkages were able to secure subsidies and special trading relations. The Israeli "colons" in the U.S. have invested and donated billions of dollars to Israel, in some cases diverting funds from union dues of low paid workers to purchase Israel bonds used to finance new colonial settlements in the occupied territories. In other cases Jewish fugitives from the U.S. justice system have been protected by the Israeli state, especially super rich financial swindlers like Mark Rich and even gangsters and murderers. Occasional official demands of extradition from the U.S. Justice Department have been pointedly ignored. The colonized Empire has gone out of its way to cover up its subservience to its supposed ally, but in fact hegemonic power. The U.S.-Israeli relationship is the first in modern history in which the imperial country covers up a deliberate major military assault by a supposed ally. In 1967, the U.S. Liberty a communications and reconnaissance ship was bombed and strafed by Israeli fighter planes in international waters for nearly an hour, killing and wounding hundreds of seaman and officers. Intercepted Israeli messages as well as the clearly displayed U.S. flag demonstrates that this was a deliberate act of aggression. Washington acted as any Third World leader would faced with an embarrassing attack by its hegemon: it silenced its naval officers who witnessed the attack and quietly received a compensation and pro-forma apology. Apart from the fact this was an unprecedented action in U.S. military and diplomatic relations with an ally, there is no case in record of an imperial country covering up for an assault by a regional ally. On the contrary, similar circumstances have been followed by diplomatic and bellicose responses. This apparent anomaly cannot in any way be explained by military weakness or diplomatic failures: Washington has far superior armaments and its diplomats are capable of forceful representation to allies or adversaries, when the political will is present. The Jewish-American lobby, Congress people, media and Wall Street moguls strategically located in the U.S. political economic system ensured that President Johnson would act as a docile subject. No direct pressures were necessary, for a hegemonized political leadership, acts, seemingly on its own beliefs, having learned the rules of the political game. Israel-U.S. is a unique relationship, that not even an unprovoked military attack should call into question. Like all hegemonized powers, Washington threatened the U.S. Naval witnesses with a court marital if they spoke out, while they coddled their attackers in Tel Aviv. Another illustration of the asymmetrical relation is found in one of the most important espionage cases during the Cold War involving an Israeli agent, Jonathan Pollard and the Pentagon. Over several years Pollard stole and duplicated bagfuls of top secret documents about U.S. Intelligence, counter-intelligence, strategic plans, military weaponry and turned them over to his Israeli handlers. This was the biggest case of espionage carried out against the U.S. by any ally in r

The fate of most is unknown. Andrew Gumbel investigates a scandal that shames the land of the free 26 February 2002 They came for Rabih Haddad in the afternoon, as his family was getting ready to celebrate the end of Ramadan. Three men from the Immigration and Naturalization Service took him away from the apartment in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that he shared with his wife and four children. His wife frantically shoved a few dates into his pockets so that he would have something to break his fast as he headed off to jail. That was 14 December, more than two months ago. Since that time, Haddad, a widely respected religious leader and founding member of one of the United States' largest Muslim charities, the Global Relief Foundation, has been held in solitary confinement, first in Ann Arbor and then at a federal facility in Chicago. He is in his cell, alone, for 23 hours a day. Every time he leaves, either to exercise in a special high-security cage or to take one of his thrice-weekly showers, he is handcuffed. At first he was allowed to see his family for four hours a week; now that has been reduced to just four hours a month, and on one recent occasion his wife and children were turned away without explanation. Personal phone calls are restricted to 15 minutes per month. And yet Haddad, a Lebanese citizen who was educated in the United States, has been charged with no crime. According to the Treasury Department the only branch of government to give any explanation whatsoever he and his charity are suspected of links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'ida organisation. But no evidence has been publicly forthcoming to substantiate the claim and no formal accusation has been made against him. On the day he was arrested, Global Relief's assets were frozen by the Treasury Department and its headquarters in Bridgeview, Illinois a suburb of Chicago was raided by 15 FBI agents, who seized every last piece of computer and video equipment, as well as the entire archive of office records. At the same time, the charity's field offices in Albania and Kosovo were raided in similar fashion by Nato troops and two of their operatives hauled off into custody for several weeks. The charity's executive director, Mohamad Chehade, was questioned at his home for two hours and, according to his lawyer, watched helplessly as field officers stripped his dwelling of paperwork, ripped open the Ramadan presents that were due to be opened that night, tore up the furniture and even confiscated his daughter's computer games. Chehade has since stated in court papers that he was never shown a search warrant. After more than 10 weeks of investigation, neither Mohamad Chehade nor any of Global Relief's other full-time employees in the United States has been detained or accused of wrongdoing. In fact, the only ostensible reason for Haddad to be behind bars is a minor visa irregularity. The tourist visa he used to enter the country most recently in 1998 expired after six months, and at the time of his arrest he and his wife were in the process of applying for permanent resident status, in accordance with a visa amnesty law passed in the dying days of the Clinton administration. This is far from the first case of an Arab or south-Asian national being rounded up and subjected to indefinite detention in the wake of the 11 September attacks on New York and Washington. The Justice Department acknowledged the arrest of 1,200 people before it stopped releasing numbers in November; human rights groups believe the total number could be as high as 2,000. But Haddad's case is perhaps the most troubling of all because of the sheer severity of his treatment and the shockingly abrupt suspension of his rights to due legal process. Government lawyers have refused to spell out what evidence, if any, they have against him, saying that they do not have to under the Bush administration's stiff new anti-terrorism law passed in late October, the so-called Patriot Act. The US Attorney's office in Chicago refused all comment. The court proceedings in his case have been so secret that even Haddad has been barred from attending; he has had to watch them on video from his jail cell, without the right of participation. And his visa irregularity is so minor that most immigration experts agree it would, under any other circumstances, be settled by an exchange of letters and the payment of a modest fine. Haddad's case has caused barely a blip in mainstream public opinion or the media in the United States, in part because of the prevailing mood of unquestioning

--- Begin Message --- The Manhattan Institute And The Axis Of Evil Another Slogan in Service to the NWO 2/27/02 11:10:24 AM Robert Lederman Commentary -- [LSN: Also note that the Manhattan Institute is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bradley Foundation, which is run by Michael Joyce, who believe the root of Western civilization is the ancient "Greco-Israeli" civilization. We guess he is allowed to believe this because there comes a point where one becomes so rich other people are afraid to tell you how stupid you are.] http://www.baltech.org/lederman Axis of Evil: Another Manhattan Institute Slogan in Service to the NWO by Robert Lederman The man who coined GW's now infamous slogan, "Axis of Evil" was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute (MI) before joining the Bush administration. He s just been dropped from the Bush payroll according to the Washington Times [see article below]. MI also coined the slogan, "Compassionate Conservatism" for GW, who publicly claims the Rockefeller-funded organizations influence on his thinking is, second only to the Holy Bible. What is the Manhattan Institute? MI is a right wing think tank founded in 1978 by William Casey, Bush/Reagan's CIA director. Following WWII Casey helped bring thousands of former Nazis involved in eugenics and the Holocaust to the U.S. As CIA director he later funded bin Laden and Co. with billions in arms, terrorist training and cash and was also a key player in arming the Contras. MI is funded by JP Morgan/Chase bank (owned by David Rockefeller) and by pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer and Lilly) directly connected to Rockefeller, Bush senior and many of the current Bush administration officials. Bush senior was director of Eli Lilly in the late 70s. Bush Budget director Mitch Daniels was also a Lilly senior executive. Donald Rumsfeld formerly headed Searle Pharmaceuticals. All of these companies depend in large part for their products on research originally done by the IG Farben chemical cartel in Nazi Germany. Rockefellers Chase bank was among Hitler's biggest U.S. supporters before and during WWII. The Rockefeller families' Standard Oil of NJ was half owner of IG Farben - the industrial base of the entire Third Reich. GW Bushs grandfather, Prescott Bush and Prescotts father-in-law George Herbert Walker (who GW is named after) were Wall Street bankers whose fortune was made operating and financing shipping companies, banks and steel foundries for the Nazi regime. MIs most famous alumni after Rudy Giuliani is Charles Murray author of The Bell Curve a modern classic of eugenics. The Bell Curve popularized the idea that Blacks are genetically inferior in intelligence to Whites as a justification for eliminating welfare, increasing so-called quality of life arrests, limiting parole, taking children from Black families etc. Murray was a paid consultant on Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompsons welfare program and is a spokesman for the Federalist Society, which has direct ties to a number of current U.S. Supreme Court judges. Thompsons #2 man on welfare reform was Jason Turner, who Rudy Giuliani later hired to head up NYCs welfare reform. Turner actually quoted the motto from the gates of Auschwitz to explain Giulianis workfare policy and was later forced to apologize. Rudy Giuliani also claims to get all of his ideas directly from MI. Many of his policy ideas are directly based on Murrays books. MI has spearheaded a decades long effort to make the goals of eugenics respectable again. The Bush family, the Harriman family (the Wall Street business partners of Bush in financing Hitler) and the Rockefeller family are the elite of the American eugenics movement. Axis of Evil. Youll find the center of that axis right here in NYC at the Manhattan Institute. To verify that David Frum is associated with MI see: http://www.aei.org/bradley/bl060799.htm Where Did the Sixties Come From? By David Frum Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Or do a search at the MI website on David Frum manhattan-institute.org There are hundreds of pages of documents related to him.

-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: International Justice Watch Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Joanna Ensum Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 3:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Pentagon "defense marketing" unit closed Rumsfeld's disinformation unit has been closed due to damage by "inaccurate news reports". There is a God. Joanna ~~~ Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld emphatically killed the Pentagon's new Office of Strategic Influence, saying yesterday that inaccurate news reports had damaged the new propaganda coordination office beyond repair. Rumsfeld defended the office even as he buried it. Even though much of the media commentary was "off the mark," he told reporters at the Pentagon, "the office has clearly been so damaged that it's . . . pretty clear to me that it could not function effectively, so it's being closed down." Pressed by reporters about whether the office would have disseminated false information overseas, as had been reported, Rumsfeld insisted that it wouldn't have done so. At any rate, he said, the new office's charter hadn't been completed, "so what it was to do was an open question, even today as it ends its very short, prominent life." Rumsfeld added, with characteristic vigor: "The office is done. It's over. What do you want, blood?" The swift demise of the new office, which was created in November to better coordinate the military's dissemination of information overseas, represents a victory for the military public affairs community and a surprising setback for the new "information warfare" specialty. Military public affairs specialists had worried that the new office would blur the line between their work of dealing with the media and the public and the "black" world of covert operations, which sometimes involves disseminating false information. "I'm sure that the public affairs community is having a drink tonight," said one veteran military spokesman. But specialists in information warfare -- which can cover anything from dropping leaflets to hacking into foreign computers -- believed that the Pentagon public affairs community had done a poor job in the Afghan war, especially in putting U.S. views before foreign audiences. "It's frustrating for us" to see the office shut down, one officer involved in information operations said yesterday. He said the new office was mainly involved in what might be called "defense marketing," and that only about 5 percent of its planned work would have involved covert operations. One idea under consideration, he said, was to seek to justify U.S. actions to the Pakistani public by putting up billboards in that country showing an image of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11 and indicating the death toll resulting from that day's terrorist attacks in New York, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. "The lesson is what a lot of us have known for a long time, that truth is always the best weapon, and everyone who works for Secretary Rumsfeld knows that to be true," said Victoria Clarke, the Pentagon's chief spokeswoman. Rumsfeld said that the functions of the now-defunct office would be carried on by other Pentagon offices. "We'll just have to do it with the offices that existed previously," he said. The public affairs veteran predicted that the propaganda function now would be performed by other, lower-profile offices, perhaps by private companies working on contract. But the officer involved in information warfare said the incident has shaken the confidence of his colleagues and has done some damage to their emerging specialty. At the same briefing yesterday, Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that, with another 14 people turned over by Pakistan over the past two days, there are now about 500 suspected members of al Qaeda and the Taliban leadership in U.S. custody, with about 300 being held at the U.S. Navy base in Guantanamo, Cuba, and another 194 in captivity inside Afghanistan. Myers said he expects that the number of captives will continue to increase. "We still have a lot of people we've not looked at completely that the Afghans and the Pakistanis have," he said. Rumsfeld indicated that the top U.S. priority in interrogating the detainees is to gather intelligence, and then to deal with them in terms of possible law enforcement actions. "We are beginning that process now," he said. He said the U.S. government is "pretty close" to releasing the rules under which trials might be held. Most of those rules have leaked already, and they generally seem to resemble the U.S. military justice system, legal experts say. http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

George W. Bush had nothing to do with it ... did he? http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?id=149495&article=19225 Ian Mulgrew Vancouver Sun Saturday, February 23, 2002 "The right wing benefited so much from September 11 that, if I were still a conspiratorialist, I would believe they'd done it." Norman Mailer When the paladin of Camelot joined the fray, I knew 9/11 had become the Kennedy Assassination of the 21st century -- a real-life X-Files episode occurring before my eyes. Like those X-Files accounts of aliens living in oil deposits, this was a story with such staggering implications the mainstream media are loath to go near it. The question isn't who killed the president -- it's who piloted the airplanes that slammed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and the Pennsylvanian countryside. Just as there remains lingering doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald fired a burst of fatally accurate shots from the Texas Book Depository, so there is skepticism that cells of Islamic terrorists secretly coordinated and simultaneously commandeered four commercial jetliners. The culprit responsible for the Sept. 11 attack is now rumoured to be the same one who lurked behind the grassy knoll: the oil-dependent U.S. military-industrial complex. Not everyone is ready to accept this -- a substitute teacher in North Vancouver's Sherwood Park elementary school has been called on the mat for suggesting to Grade 5 students the Central Intelligence Agency might have been involved in 9/11. And at last count, there were a dozen U.S. Congressional Committees investigating the tragedies and how such an intelligence and security breakdown was allowed to occur. But President George W. Bush and his right-hand man, Vice President Dick Cheney, have taken the unprecedented step of trying to restrict those investigations, pouring fuel on the simmering conspiracy theories being propagated in alternative publications, on wingnut Web sites and among some serious media outlets. In Germany, a former minister of technology, Andreas von Buelow, made headlines when in an interview he dismissed the U.S. government's explanation that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network is responsible for the attacks. His own explanation implicated the White House. "I wonder why many questions are not asked," von Buelow said. "For 60 decisive minutes, the military and intelligence agencies let the fighter planes stay on the ground; 48 hours later, however, the FBI presented a list of suicide attackers. Within 10 days, it emerged that seven of them were still alive." In Britain, a flight engineer has published a detailed paper asserting the U.S. took the joysticks out of the pilots' hands using a method of remote control developed by the American military in the 1970s. In the U.S. and Canada, independent publisher and editor Mike Ruppert (a former LAPD cop who hates the CIA) has drawn huge crowds to his two-hour lecture in which he states baldly that the U.S. government was complicit in the attacks and had foreknowledge. He opens his documentary presentation with an offer of $1,000 US to anyone who can prove any of his sources were misrepresented or inauthentic. A former U.S. government agent also has given interviews claiming the CIA has been dealing with Osama bin Laden since 1987. According to those who do not believe in The Lone Gunman, the truth is as plain as the nose on your face: Sept. 11's terrorist acts were planned and paid for by the CIA to enable the Bush Administration to "legitimately" bomb Afghanistan into submission on behalf of the oil industry. After all, everyone knows the Bush family has strong and long acknowledged ties to the oil industry, as do other senior members of the administration. Cheney until recently was president of a company servicing the oil patch. National Security adviser Condoleeza Rice was a manager for Chevron. Commerce and Energy Secretaries Donald Evans and Stanley Abraham worked for Tom Brown, another oil giant. Follow the money, as they say, and you'll find the smoking gun. Under this scenario, conspiracy theorists say a pliant Afghan regime was essential because of plans to pipe central Asian oil across Afghanistan. And there is a harvest of coincidence and contradiction to feed such imaginings. Consider first that the intelligence breakdown that led to 9/11 appears to have been a consequence of the Bush Administration telling the Federal Bureau of Investigation to back off on its investigation of Middle Eastern terrorism.

By DAVID HOLLEY TIMES STAFF WRITER February 26 2002 PREKAZ, Yugoslavia -- A memorial is being constructed here to honor the memory of Adem Jashari and his family, who ignited all-out war for Kosovo's independence by sacrificing their lives four years ago. >From the perspective of ethnic Albanians who backed the armed struggle against Serbian rule, the ruined home where 20 Jasharis--including women and children-- died is drenched not only in blood but also in honor. Glossy brochures for visitors tell the story of events here in that spirit. Just what happened in March 1998 has assumed renewed importance because the first prosecution witness at the war crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic cited the Jasharis' massacre as a key point of his testimony. Mahmut Bakali, an ethnic Albanian politician, told the court Feb. 18 that Milosevic had defended the killings to him as a justified police action against terrorists. A pamphlet available here at the memorial site, though written to glorify Adem Jashari, can be seen as unwittingly supporting an argument central to Milosevic's defense: that the war in Kosovo originated primarily as a fight between armed secessionists and government forces. Prosecutors will be trying to prove that Milosevic bore responsibility for the actions of his forces in Kosovo three years ago. The 1998 killings in Prekaz are not listed in the indictment. But whether these deaths, which ushered in a wider war between ethnic Albanians and Milosevic's forces, are interpreted as a coldblooded massacre or as the result of a justifiable police action could help set the tone for the trial. Milosevic is accused of genocide and crimes against humanity, in part for the actions of Yugoslav soldiers, Serbian police and paramilitary forces. Thousands of ethnic Albanians were slain and hundreds of thousands driven from their homes before North Atlantic Treaty Organization airstrikes forced Milosevic to withdraw his forces from Kosovo in 1999 and accept a U.N. administration that continues today. Most ethnic Albanians see the current situation as virtually ensuring eventual independence for Kosovo, which technically remains part of Serbia, the dominant republic of Yugoslavia. Acting as his own lawyer, Milosevic cross-examined Bakali last Tuesday about the Jasharis' deaths. In a question apparently meant to suggest that the family forced the hand of police, he asked: "Did you know that they did not want to surrender and they shot at policemen?" The pamphlet distributed at the battle site focuses on Adem Jashari--a founder of the separatist Kosovo Liberation Army--and the 19 members of his family who died with him. It does little more than mention the 36 distant relatives and neighbors also killed in the three- day siege. But the brochure presents a picture of a family fiercely devoted to the fight for independence and ready to give their lives for that cause. Titled "The Jasharis, the Story of a Resistance," the pamphlet traces Adem Jashari's eight- year armed struggle and declares that family members were "loyal co-fighters" who were "ready for sublime sacrifice." Jashari's wife, Adile, was the first person killed in the 1998 siege, "while taking ammunition to Adem," the brochure says. The last to die was their son Kushtrim, 13, who fell "holding the automatic gun in his hands," it says. Most of the family members--including Jashari's mother, a 7-year-old niece and 11 others--were killed when a Serbian mortar shell hit the house, while Jashari's niece Besarta survived the siege "to tell about the . . . hell," it says. According to reports at the time by foreign journalists quoting survivors of the battle, some of the distant Jashari relatives who lived nearby were executed after being captured or killed while trying to flee. The pamphlet does not address how the others died, but it stresses that none of the 20 people killed in Adem Jashari's immediate family had tried to escape. Jashari and his family knew the previous night that Serbian forces were assembling for an assault, the pamphlet says. Growing up on stories of "century-old battles for liberation" waged by Kosovo's ethnic Albanians, Jashari came to "adore heroes" and "never parted from his gun," the pamphlet says. "In 1991, Adem and his friends went to Albania to get prepared for the battles to come," it says. ". . . During 1991 they frequently crossed the Kosovo-Albanian border, beginning armed actions against the Serbian police. Numerous actions were successfully undertaken. . . . The Serb state was being hit in its most sensitive part: in its repressive apparatus." Serbian police and military first "laid sie

-Caveat Lector- And THUS started the domestic release of dis-information to Americans. Give'em a big hand! Maybe the "office" will not be there, but they aren't claiming that they wouldn't be doing it. More likely they'll just let the existing agencies or outsourced private companies do the work. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 21:36:22 +0100 From: Mario Profaca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "[Spy News]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Spy News] Bush Seals Fate of Office of Influence in Pentagon http://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/26/international/26OFFI.html February 26, 2002 HEARTS AND MINDS Bush Seals Fate of Office of Influence in Pentagon By ERIC SCHMITT WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 President Bush expressed alarm today over the possible activities of a new Pentagon office intended to influence public sentiment abroad and strongly endorsed efforts to disband or reconfigure the agency. When asked today whether he had ordered Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to close the office, Mr. Bush said, "I didn't even need to tell him this; he knows how I feel. I saw it reflected in his comments the other day." Mr. Bush went on to say that he was confident that Mr. Rumsfeld would "handle this in the right way." Interpreting the president's remarks, a senior administration official said, "He specifically mentioned that the office would be shut down before it started or that its focus would be dramatically narrowed to obvious things like leaflet campaigns." Proposals from the new agency, the Office of Strategic Influence, have stirred outrage in Congress and inside the administration. Its director, Brig. Gen. Simon P. Worden of the Air Force, had proposed that the office coordinate activities as varied as issuing news releases and conducting secret "information warfare" in friendly as well as unfriendly countries which could include spreading inaccurate information, military officials said. Mr. Rumsfeld said on Sunday that the Pentagon might eliminate the office because its credibility had been badly damaged by disclosures of its proposed activities. Senior military officials said today that it was now virtually certain that the 15-person office, as currently constituted, would be disbanded or restructured. Officials were discussing how to incorporate its missions that had not raised opposition elsewhere in the Pentagon bureaucracy. The office reports to Douglas J. Feith, the undersecretary of defense for policy. Mr. Feith was traveling in Russia today, so any final decision about the office's fate will wait until he returns this week, a Pentagon official said tonight. The Office of Strategic Influence was formed after the attacks on Sept. 11 to coordinate disparate information operations inside the Defense Department that were intended to assist the military overseas. Administration officials have expressed frustration that the United States is losing public support for the war on terrorism, especially in the Islamic world. Senior Pentagon officials had endorsed the office's general mission, but Mr. Rumsfeld and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz had not approved any of its specific, classified proposals, which had been circulating at lower levels of the Pentagon, military officials said. The office's activities, disclosed last Tuesday by The New York Times, caused major concern among Bush administration officials traveling with the president in Asia. Karen P. Hughes, senior adviser to Mr. Bush, called back to aides, and asked, "Did you know about this?" one administration official said. The official added, "We're obviously careful about any kind of effort to mislead the public." Stephen J. Hadley, the deputy national security adviser, called senior Pentagon officials to express concern about the office's reported activities, the administration official said. The matter also raised questions on Capitol Hill. Senator Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat who heads the Armed Services Committee, sent a letter to Mr. Rumsfeld late on Friday seeking more information about the purpose of the office. Yahoo!

A while ago, I posted something from the WSWS. A day or so later, some fellow from Hungary or Slovakia keyed in on the source of the article, reflecting on the fact that the Cold War was fought against "socialism" and he had left his native land for the Land of the Free to escape that political perspective. Unfortunately, he had been exposed to an Eastern European flavour of "socialism" that probably tended more towards "totalitarianism" with a kinder and gentler name only. I explained to him that just because the name is there doesn't determine an ablsolute contextual content. Just because the site is "socialist" doesn't mean the articles are bad or are filled with wrong information. When I first began visiting the site, the articles were filled with all kinds of screedy catch-words and -phrases (the bourgeoisie this and the workers of the world that). It became a hassle to read beyond that when the information was basically very good. I wrote to them (as I am sure others did as well) to explain to them that they could get their point across quite well in the WAY they presented the information without using all the Marxist lingo we're so used to hearing from North Korea, for example. Perhaps due to me or due to other factors, the articles dropped much of that politicisation. My first visit was due to a linque at Yahoo! Now, I find linques to WSWS from all over the place, simply because they cover various subjects from a unique perspective. No one else will catalog the jobs that are lost by company or sector the way they do. This became informational when Bill Jeff was touting his jobs creation efforts when -- in fact -- almost as many jobs were being lost. Employment was a wash at many times. But the mainstream media only highlighted the gains, mostly in the service sector when manufacturing jobs were lost. Regardless of any political perspective presented, there's always the possibility for obversion, looking at the other side of the coin.

[CTRL] Florida Terrorist Flight School Linked To CIA
-Caveat Lector- Venice Terrorist Flight School Linked To CIA Wednesday, 27 February 2002, 1:05 pm Article: Daniel Hopsicker http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0202/S00132.htm Venice Terrorist Flight School Linked To CIA Firm has 'green light' from local DEA Sitting in front of Rudi's hangar: a commuter plane belonging to (take your pick) Florida Air, Express Air, or Sunrise Airlines by Daniel Hopsicker February 25--Venice, Florida (originally published at The Mad Cow Morning News) New evidence linking the owner of the Venice Florida flight school which trained Mohamed Atta to the Central Intelligence Agency surfaced earlier this month. The new evidence adds to existing indications that Mohamed Atta and his terrorist cadre's flight training in this country was part of a so-far unacknowledged U.S. government intelligence operation which had ultimately tragic consequences for thousands of civilians on September 11th. Far from merely being negligent or asleep at the switchthe thrust so far of allegations expected to be aired at joint Senate and House Select Committee hearings next monththe accumulating evidence suggests the CIA was not just aware of the thousands of Arab student pilots who began pouring into this country several years ago to attend flight training, but was running the operation, for still-unexplained reasons. During a controversy over the awarding of a bid for an aviation maintenance facility in Lynchburg, Virginia, what had begun as a purely local spat took on national importance when it unearthed connections between Rudi Dekkersthe Dutch national whose Huffman Aviation trained both of the pilots at the controls of the airliners which crashed into the World Trade Centerand the CIA. "Good-by Magic Dutch Boy; Hello Jerry Falwell" The CIA's links to Dekkers surfaced when an unknown company called Britannia Aviation was mysteriously awarded a five-year contract to run a large regional maintenance facility at the Lynchburg Virginia Regional Airport. At the time of the award virtually nothing was known about Britannia except that the company worked out of a hangar at Rudi Dekkers Huffman Aviation at the Venice, Florida airport. But when Britannia was chosen over a respected and successful Lynchburg company boasting a multi-million dollar balance sheet and more than 40 employees, aviation executives there began voicing concerns to reporters at the local newspaper... "There was some sentiment that there might be something suspicious about Britannia Aviation," stated business reporter Chris Flores of the Lynchburg News-Advance. "There was a clear feeling that nobody knew who these guys were, or where they were coming from." The suspicion deepened when it was discovered that Britannia Aviation is a company with virtually no assets, employees, or corporate history. Moreover, the company did not even possess the necessary FAA license to perform the aircraft maintenance services for which it had just been contracted by the city of Lynchburg. At a Lynchburg City Council hearing on the dispute there were vocal objections from observers baffled as to why a company with virtually no qualifications was being awarded a contract to take over a large regional maintenance facility designed for major carriers like Delta and USAir Express. "It was as if someone with a learners permit from the DMV got picked to drive Richard Pettys car at Daytona," explained one local aviation executive and NASCAR fan. "It made absolutely no business sense that anyone could see." "Be True to Your School." When Britannia Aviations financial statements were released after prodding by the local aviation community they revealed Britannia to be a "company" worth less than $750. Paul Marten, a British aircraft mechanic who was the Britannia executive in attendance, rose to say it wasn't true. Britannias assets, he was sure, amounted to more than $750, though how much more was a question he left unanswered. A Lynchburg city official attempted to wave aside objections that Britannia was insolvent with a joke. "At least they have more on their balance sheet than Enron," said Lynchburg City Councilman Robert Garber. Trying to save further embarrassment, Britannia executive Marten reassured those in attendance that at Huffmans hangar at the Venice Airport they had for some time been successfully providing aviation maintenance services for Caribe Air, a Caribbean carrier. And that is how the world learned that under Rudi Dekkers FAA license Paul Marten's little dummy front company worked f

But one of Ashcroft's duties is to "front" for these religion racketeers. US laws tolerate maximum religious freedom. They do NOT tolerate religious fraud. Look, the proof is easy. During the Cold War all kinds of Marxist zealots charged forward to prove that Marxist Culture was the best in the world. It is inconceivable that Marxists would not want to actualize Marxist Culture, that Muslims would not want to actualize Muslim Culture, that Buddhists would not want to actualize Buddhist Culture. Whether they are misguided or not is another matter. Now ask the champions of all the new "good doer vs. evil doer" rhetoric what the culture of "America the Good" is like, mindful that St. Luke said of Jesus Christ "(He) went about doing good" and that DeToqueville said "When America ceases to be good it will cease to be great". Tell us about the culture of "America the Good" by articulating just one model city built anew plus surroundings, mindful that almost all Americans live in such a surroundings. Then watch these champions of "good doing", these bogus followers of Jesus Christ who said, "I came to tell the truth" scatter like the cockroaches they are. Bush and his fellow hypocrites preach to China about "religious freedom". The freedom to do what? "Pray" upon a vulnerable public by giving protection for RELIGIOUS FRAUD starting with "The Whitehouse Preachers"? In China, crooks like the Grahams, Falwells, Robertsons and Hagees would be in jail alongside the Falun Gong criminals which is where they all belong. POC Yahoo!

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: "Matthew Gaylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 18:39:31 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Declan McCullagh Subject: FORMER DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHAL CHARGED WITH PERJURY AND FALSE STATEMENTS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CRM TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2002 (202) 514-2008 WWW.USDOJ.GOV TDD (202) 514-1888 FORMER DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHAL CHARGED WITH PERJURY AND FALSE STATEMENTS DENVER, COLORADO -- The Department of Justice announced that Benny Bailey of Denver, Colorado, formerly a Deputy United States Marshal for the District of Colorado, was indicted today by a federal grand jury in a two-count indictment charging him with perjury and false statements. If convicted, Bailey faces on each count up to five years in prison and a fine of not more than $250,000. According to the indictment, Bailey helped supervise the jury in the 1997 trial of Timothy McVeigh, who had been charged with bombing the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. After the McVeigh trial concluded in June, 1997, Bailey became involved in an intimate relationship with an alternate juror from the trial. In 1998 the trial court and, subsequently, defense counsel for McVeigh, received anonymous facsimiles alleging that Bailey and the alternate juror had an intimate relationship during the McVeigh trial and that Bailey attempted to influence the outcome of the trial by persuading this juror of McVeigh's guilt. As a result of these anonymous facsimiles, the U.S. Marshals Service and the McVeigh trial judge investigated whether or not any improprieties had occurred between Bailey and any of the McVeigh jurors. In Count One, the indictment charges that Bailey lied to his supervisor, the United States Marshal for the District of Colorado, when he falsely denied having had an intimate relationship with any McVeigh juror at any time. In Count Two of the indictment, Bailey is charged with committing perjury when, during a hearing conducted by the trial judge, Bailey lied under oath about his contacts with the alternate juror in question. The investigation, conducted by the Office of the Inspector General, found no evidence of improper contacts with the McVeigh jury during either the trial or jury deliberations. Rather the indictment charges Bailey with lying about a relationship with an alternate juror after the trial. The juror did not deliberate or participate in the verdict in any way. The full results of this investigation were provided to the Court, as well as to McVeigh and his counsel. Prior to McVeigh's execution, after reviewing these results, the Court determined that there were no grounds for concluding that the verdict in the McVeigh case had been improperly influenced or affected. The case was investigated by the Office of the Inspector General, and is being prosecuted by the Public Integrity Section of the United States Department of Justice. ### 02-103 ** Subscribe to Freematt's Alerts: Pro-Individual Rights Issues Send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words subscribe FA on the subject line.

Definitely a heretic by Leftist standards, Wells still managed to define the dialectic of the twentieth century, influencing the secret world government, then headquartered in England, as perhaps it still is, and influencing them in a direction different than that of the traditional Imperial direction as defined by Cecil Rhodes. To put it simply, the battle against Marxism never was a battle against Marxism, but a battle in which both sides were disciples of H.G. Wells. The interesting fact is that if we do follow Marx, then we have a situation in which feudalism yields to capitalism, global capitalism, setting the stage for Marxist "worker" control. The falling away of feudalism occured in 1989 with the fall of the Soviet Union and South Africa, along with the growth of democracy in many nations outside of the Arabic world and China. Interestingly, the nineteenth century revolutionaries from the eighteen fourties had among them someone who predicted a world war in the twentieth century in which revolutionary American would battle victoriously over reactionary Czarist Russia, leading the world in to a one world government based on enlightenment and progress. Marx tended to side with America against Russia or other reactionary powers in any potential "Cold War" scenerio. If there IS an international Communist Conspiracy, perhaps it operates differently than most have suspected? I leave this one vague, because I do not know where to go with it. If socialists/communists understood the scam amd rip-off of central banks like the Fed, they would abandon their socialist views, as F. Hayak shows so well in THE ROAD TO SERFDOM. BF>Well, this statement simplified matters. It assumes that socialists stand by private ownership of the world's money by private banks. New York sinks slowing into the rising son.the great Babylon is falling, Babylon is falling and you know what - nobody seems to really give a crap, they are so busy counting insurance dollars, and firing people, no place to evice people though who are already evicted.

--- Begin Message --- -Original Message- From: Catherine Austin Fitts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Living Wage Dear Mr. Summers: I hope you will accept the Harvard janitors generous offer of a starting wage of $13.40 an hour and affordable family medical care. As I drive around America and try to simulate what our economy would be like without substantial government and private coercive intervention to enhance the control and financial returns of corporate management and investors, I find that one of the most economically productive groups in the work force are those who clean and maintain our physical spaces. In English, what this means is that people who do real concrete work and are trustworthy are substantially underpaid relative to the large and growing group who are using government and the destruction of the rule of law to steal from us. This is a wonderful opportunity for you as President to demonstrate that Harvard understands the wisdom of productivity as the prime vehicle for the allocation of economic resources as opposed to coercion and lawlessness. I am confident that Harvard will do the economically sound thing, I only pray that it does it quickly. Best, Catherine Austin Fitts Solari Former Assistant Secretary of Housing, First Bush Administration = THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TO SUPPORT HARVARD JANITORS! Over 700 students and workers came out today to help janitors get a fair contract. Nine workers, students, and community supporters were arrested for civil disobedience as they sat on the street facing Holyoke Center - which houses Harvard's labor relations office. This group included students, janitors, clerical workers, alunmi, and union officials. By bringing the janitors' plight out in the public realm, and by forcing Harvard to face public scrutiny, these brave women and men have made history at Harvard. The momentum is building, and janitors need your support! *** Wednesday, February 27, 9am : supporters will picket outside of Sheraton Commander (16 Garden Street) before negotiations begin at 10am. Negotiations are open and all supporters are invited. As leaked to the press by Harvard administration, at tomorrow's negotiations, Harvard may offer $11.35 as a starting wage for janitors. A decade ago, the same work on this campus paid between $12 and $14 an hour in real terms. Today, area universities such as MIT, BU and Wellesley pay starting wages of $14 to $16 an hour. Harvard's offer does not meet the basic expectation of its own Commission (HCECP) to make up for the administration's misguided policies over the past ten years. Sitting on a $18 billion endowment, Harvard's offers show that Larry Summers is still not serious about justice on this campus. In contrast, janitors are asking for a starting wage of $13.40 an hour and affordable family medical care . *** ANYTIME: Call or fax President Summers - ask him to pay janitors a fair wage that reflects Harvard's own past practices and wages paid by its peers such as MIT.

It's a complicated rumor because officials have "lost" the body. U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Jeffrey Davidow and State Department fixer Randy Beers have each weighed in with their (somewhat contradicting) theories. We also report from a transcript of Beers deflecting a question last Monday about what DEA officials are saying: That the volume of cocaine trafficked through certified Mexico into the United States has risen by ten percent over the past three months. As for the rumors of the death of an Arellano Félix, according to a new song by the narco-corrido group, "Los Embajadores del Norte," there is another theory popular on the street. Narco News today premiers "The Ballad of Ramón Arellano Félix": http://www.narconews.com/ We don't know if the theory contained in this new song is any less fictional than those of Davidow, Beers and the other officials.

[CTRL] U.S. Begins Anti-Terror Assistance In Georgia
-Caveat Lector- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7806-2002Feb26.html WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! U.S. Begins Anti-Terror Assistance In Georgia By Vernon Loeb and Peter Slevin Washington Post Staff Writers Wednesday, February 27, 2002; Page A01 The Pentagon has begun providing combat helicopters to the former Soviet republic of Georgia and will soon begin training several Georgian battalions to counter what defense officials believe is a growing terrorist threat in the country's mountainous Pankisi Gorge region, senior U.S. officials said yesterday. The move to train and equip the Georgian military opens a new front in the Bush administration's war on terrorism and is fueled by a belief shared by the United States and Georgia that al Qaeda members and other Islamic extremists from Chechnya have taken refuge in northern Georgia along the Chechen border. The mission also represents a belief by the Bush administration that Arab fighters connected to al Qaeda have joined Chechen rebel forces to battle the Russian army, an assertion long made by Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, but publicly doubted until now in Washington. "We have a clear connection between Chechens and al Qaeda. They clearly fall under the potential targets of the global war on terrorism," said a U.S. defense official. About 40 U.S. military personnel, including Special Forces troops, visited Georgia this month to assess Georgia's security needs, according to Lt. Col. Ed Loomis, a spokesman for the U.S. military's European Command near Stuttgart, Germany. The assessment team has filed its report, which is now the basis ofthe Pentagon's deliberations, he said. The Pentagon has already provided the Georgian government with 10 UH-1H Huey helicopters, six for operations and four for spare parts, Loomis said. A U.S. military trainer and six contractors are in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital, training Georgian personnel in how to operate the aircraft. In taking its war on terrorism to Georgia, the administration is also seeking to bolster the standing of Eduard Shevardnadze, Georgia's president, and build stability in the volatile Caucasus region. Georgia, a transit point for Caspian oil and an aspiring member of NATO, has been considered a U.S. ally since it won independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. "We're only beginning down this path," said an administration official, discussing the Pentagon's reconnaissance trip. "What we've decided to do is think more creatively. That requires a harder look at the real situation on the ground. And doing this in a way that ensures that the Georgians and the Russians are consulted fully -- and that in the end, it's a cooperative effort." The White House promised to help Shevardnadze during a visit he made to Washington in early October, according to Georgian diplomat David Soumbadze. "He was promised there would be a program of training and even providing some equipment. There was no detailed discussion about when and how," Soumbadze said yesterday. "This is being done specifically to enhance Georgian armed forces' ability to fight terrorism." The decision to train and equip Georgian units comes as 80 U.S. Special Forces troops are on the ground in the Philippines training Filipino units in counterterrorist tactics against rebels belonging to the Abu Sayyaf, a Muslim extremist group that the United States says has ties to al Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden, who is accused of orchestrating the Sept. 11 attacks. The U.S. military also is conducting intelligence-gathering flights over the southern Philippine island of Basilan. Asked about the possibility of intelligence flights over Georgia, the senior defense official said: "As far as our ability to surveil the area, we've got some significant surveillance assets in that theater that give us a pretty good look at threats on the ground." But the official said that he did not want to draw too many parallels between Georgia and the Philippines. "I think we're sophisticated enough at this point not to try to put this situation in the same box as the Philippines," the official said. "It's of equal interest, I would say, but the geopolitical situation in this area in very different than it is in the Philippines." The Bush administration, which has not yet settled on a source of funding for the training mission, believes that Arab fighters trained in al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan have found safe haven in the Pankisi Gorge. "We know they have contacts with bin Laden's people, that some of them have trained in Afghanistan," one official said. Chechen rebels are also said to be among an estimated 5,000 to 7,000 Chechen refugees in the region. U.S. officials said there is not an explicit goal of training Georgian forces to capture suspected terrorists, but one policymaker said the potential to question fighters in the Pankisi Gorge is "an element" of the administration's think
[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] Manhattan Inst. runs Bush Administration-proof from their website
--- Begin Message --- PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY Axis of Evil: Another Manhattan Institute Slogan in Service to the NWO by Robert Lederman The man who coined GW's now infamous slogan, "Axis of Evil" was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute (MI) before joining the Bush administration. He's just been dropped from the Bush payroll according to the Washington Times [see article below]. MI also coined the slogan, "Compassionate Conservatism" for GW, who publicly claims the Rockefeller-funded organizations' influence on his thinking is, "second only to the Holy Bible". What is the Manhattan Institute? MI is a right wing think tank founded in 1978 by William Casey, Bush/Reagan's CIA director. Following WWII Casey helped bring thousands of former Nazis involved in eugenics and the Holocaust to the U.S. As CIA director he later funded bin Laden and Co. with billions in arms, terrorist training and cash and was also a key player in arming the Contras. MI is funded by JP Morgan/Chase bank (owned by David Rockefeller) and by pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer and Lilly) directly connected to Rockefeller, Bush senior and many of the current Bush administration officials. Bush senior was director of Eli Lilly in the late 70's. Bush Budget director Mitch Daniels was also a Lilly senior executive. Donald Rumsfeld formerly headed Searle Pharmaceuticals. All of these companies depend in large part for their products on research originally done by the IG Farben chemical cartel in Nazi Germany. Rockefeller's Chase bank was among Hitler's biggest U.S. supporters before and during WWII. The Rockefeller families' Standard Oil of NJ was half owner of IG Farben - the industrial base of the entire Third Reich. GW Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush and Prescott's father-in-law George Herbert Walker (who GW is named after) were Wall Street bankers whose fortune was made operating and financing shipping companies, banks and steel foundries for the Nazi regime. MI's most famous alumni after Rudy Giuliani is Charles Murray author of "The Bell Curve" a modern classic of eugenics. The Bell Curve popularized the idea that Blacks are genetically inferior in intelligence to Whites as a justification for eliminating welfare, increasing so-called quality of life arrests, limiting parole, taking children from Black families etc. Murray was a paid consultant on Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson's welfare program and is a spokesman for the Federalist Society, which has direct ties to a number of current U.S. Supreme Court judges. Thompson's #2 man on welfare reform was Jason Turner, who Rudy Giuliani later hired to head up NYC's welfare reform. Turner actually quoted the motto from the gates of Auschwitz to explain Giuliani's workfare policy and was later forced to apologize. Rudy Giuliani also claims to get all of his ideas directly from MI. Many of his policy ideas are directly based on Murray's books. MI has spearheaded a decades long effort to make the goals of eugenics respectable again. The Bush family, the Harriman family (the Wall Street business partners of Bush in financing Hitler) and the Rockefeller family are the elite of the American eugenics movement. Axis of Evil. You'll find the center of that axis right here in NYC at the Manhattan Institute. To verify that David Frum is associated with MI see: http://www.aei.org/bradley/bl060799.htm "Where Did the Sixties Come From? By David Frum Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute." Or do a search at the MI website on David Frum manhattan-institute.org There are hundreds of pages of documents related to him. Hundreds of mainstream media quotes on the Manhattan Institute, Bush, Giuliani, the CIA, Chase Bank and the connection of them all to Nazism, eugenics and 9/11 will be found in the articles at: http://baltech.org/lederman/ At the end of the eugenics article below are a sample of these quotes which I've spent eight years compiling. Excerpted from THE WASHINGTON TIMES 2/26/2002 http://asp.washtimes.com/printarticle.asp?action=print&ArticleID=20020226-12 681279 'Axis of evil' writer leaves Bush's staff author: Robert Stacy McCain "David Frum, credited with authoring the headline "axis of evil" phrase in President Bush's State of the Union address, has left the White House speechwriting staff. "It has been the experience of a lifetime and it's been the honor of a lifetime to be here during this presidency," Mr. Frum said in a telephone interview yesterday. "I leave with nothing but the highest regard for all of my colleagues."...Mr. Frum specifically denied commentator Robert Novak's claim, made yesterday on CNN's "Inside Politics," that he was ousted from the speechwriting team because the president was angered by an e-mail from Mr. Frum's wife that became public this month. Author Danielle Crittenden e-mailed friends after the Jan. 29 State of the Union address expressing "wifely pride" that her husband had contributed the "axis of evil" phrase. Mrs. Crittende
Re: [CTRL] Fwd: The Role of State Monopoly Capitalism
-Caveat Lector- Well take the Mayor of New York City, Shylock let us call him - is this man a conservative or what? Now this man believes he "reigns" over New York, but in this country, nobody "reigns" over us though the Old Testament one would believe the streets have been paved for the Jewish Messiah - and he sure came in with a bank didn't he, all keyed to and geared to the Old Testaments. So this Shylock, this Mayor is going for fire 6,000 people, 3, 000 already lost jobs in the "God Forbid" demise of the Twin Towers that this sainted man Larry Silverstein anticipated and with his 7 billoin dollar insurance policy - hey is that guy a liberal. Now you want to buy the people's Brooklyn Bridge from Shylock - he needs fast bucks to cover up the fact that all these arenas, etc., New York City was going busto long before 911.. Nice plot - it thickens.but one has to consider what a liberal really is and in his year of Jubilee might do well to remember this story from the Jewish Old Testamentkeeping in mind that if the Arab Princes had loaned all that money to New York City, they would have done so with NO INTEREST. New York sinks slowing into the rising son.the great Babylon is falling, Babylon is falling and you know what - nobody seems to really give a crap, they are so busy counting insurance dollars, and firing people, no place to evice people though who are already evicted. Think about New York City - how much of their budget going to paying interest on debt.and then think of the humble Arab Muslims WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN USURY. And Osama bin Laden did not pull off that Twin Towers job. And what the hell would ANYBODY want with New York City or Israel, today - maybe their leaders - for Giuliani, Shylock Bloomberg, and Sharon all met together - maybe these so called public servants will all get what they deserve. Tell me how they going to evict all those homeless people lying in gutters, subways, tents, withing sight of the ghosts of the Twin Towers? OSaba True Test of a Shylock and a Scrooge - Old Testament..as opposed to what was it Oscar Wilde wrote - yes, he talks like a liberal but he still eats with the Tories. I prefer the Tories, for at least they have a little bit of class - this hoodlum Bloomberg, the great Shylock, does not..he will get, his pound of flesh for evidently Twin Towers was not enough for these people" JEWISH BIBLE GOD'S PLAN FOR US AND NOTE THIS - VS. 5 FOR THEY ARE LENDERS NEVER BORROWERS..IS THIS HOW BIN LADEN FAMILY IN DISGUISE GOT TO SAUD THRONE TO SIT AT RIGHT HAND OF KINGTHE HIDDEN ONES? Deuteronomy, chapter 15 "1": At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. "2": And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release. "3": Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release; "4": Save when there shall be no poor "5": Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. "5": Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. ***Secret to Theft of Nation and Usury*** "6": For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. (Saba Note - Vs. 6 is key to bin Laden for he lent money to the Saudis when in troube and in like Larry Flynt with ADL then and FBI. Bt see THE JEW WILL NOT BORROW ONLY TO LEND, AND THEN well theft of a nation...New York City pays half its budge in interest no doubt..this is Christian Zionist at its worst..for Shylock had to be first Zonist of ill repute?

-Caveat Lector- Yes Prudy - last seen Arafat, this old man but not quite so ugly and old looking as Ariel Scheinman Sharon, had a broken arm, broken fingers and was was hanging upside down by his heels. So John F. Kennedy took the "responsibility" for the Bay of Pigs - for he realized the buck stopped with him, even though the Jewish Mafia headed by Meyer Lansky, who would later murder him too, was the element behind the Pigs incident. It was then he discovered that the Black Ops of CIA had been hiring killers - hit men - who also broke arms for two bucks. Cheap outfit at that. At least this is what I was told?

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: The Role of State Monopoly Capitalism
-Caveat Lector- Fascist and communist govts are both big govt/statist as opposed to small govt/populist. I think it was Gary Allen in "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" who pointed out that the accurate way to rank govts is populist to statist. The other way - "left = communist" on one extreme, "right = fascist" on the other, with "democracy" (should be republic, another mind-f**k in that word/concept substitution/confusion) - primarily serves thoroughly to muddle the people's thinking & grasp on the political realities of their world. Another interesing one is the way 'liberal', which used to mean one who favored Jeffersonian small non-interfering govt., has come to mean one who supports socialist govt. Socialist/communist govt by definition/unavoidably is BIG govt - and history demonstrates that big govt is always totalitarian govt. If socialists/communists understood the scam amd rip-off of central banks like the Fed, they would abandon their socialist views, as F. Hayak shows so well in THE ROAD TO SERFDOM. Yet more clever mind-muddling disinfo is the identification of those favoring small govt with those who care not for the poor. Fact is, under socialism in this country, the standard of living has fallen steadily. We are now rapidly becoming a second world nation - as per the globalists' long-range plans. molli http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Axis of Hubris
-Caveat Lector- Well I am only sorry Bush saw fit to use this term; and, some of his speeches are redundant - and felt insincere to say the least. When one thinks of Axis - always thing of WWII and this is a new game plan. As nobody ever questioned the fact that it was claimed that Abraham Lincoln, wrote over 1 million words and like a Handel, who wrote the Messiah on his knees, is alleged to written the Gettysburg Address, on his knees. Nice words for a slaughterman to have written, right? But in some old books yoiu find the Rosicrucians in this Fama thing, who more or less by innuendo , suggest who, wrote what. Like A House Divided Cannot Stand.well lots of people think Abraham Lincon wrote that line; no, he plagiarized it from Jesus Christ. Axis of Evil? Bush needs a new song book, because the guy who wrote that line hey that was so bad Bush made sure he took the credit - first time in History a ghost writer got due credit. Biggest mistake made - we now count more enemies on two hands than we do friends. But it is written with Bush all things are yet possible; but in the end, like Jesus Christ - maybe only a handful of women will stick with him to the end. Or a new beginning? Now I know why Bush said "Keep Your Powder Dry"..for guys like that. So as much as I dislike Lincoln, will have to say the Gettysburg Address these words should always be attributed to him. As Janet Reno would say "for the children" Lincoln got off some good ones though on his own - which better maybe expresses one of the best one liners I ever heard Lincoln lost a man to death in office, and so many people were out to get the job (times change, people don't) - even before the guy was buried. This one man applied directly to Lincon for the job, saying "I would like to take his place Mr. President", to which Lincoln replied (words to best of my recollection) - Lincoln replies "its okay with me, if the undertaker doesn't mind". Wonder who got that job. OSaba FAMOUS LAST WORDS: Evil Axis.

Re: [CTRL] John McCain, Traitor
-Caveat Lector- i understand what you're getting at; there are plenty of posts that are more or less partisan propaganda but may contain some unusual bits of info that are useful or informative. i'm totally open minded if i'm learning something new, and i always take time to scan through all posts to see if there is something there. but i would assume that everyone is smart enough to keep up on news that is easily available through mainstream channels? anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows by now what john mccain's stance is on campaign financing legislation. so, i didn't see the post in question as offering anything informative at all, only hardcore propaganda. no dots. however, if there is an interesting, well articulated, and factually detailed argument to be made that mccain is an NWO socialist, i would be fascinated to hear it! that would be the kind of thing i joined this list for. -brian >-Caveat Lector- > >On 27 Feb 2002 at 17:18, Brian Salter wrote: > >> may i ask, what does this have to do with conspiracy theory research? > >We play this little game here called "connect the dots".

Re: [CTRL] John McCain, Traitor
-Caveat Lector- Well, yes, fair enough, and I do the same thing, and my political views are undeniably different than Bill R's in many respects ... But the WJPBR Email News List is not the only source for information, even as a conservative. And they do a lot of smear pieces with a dualatiy of politics as their main crux. Personally, I believe that's also part of the problem, so any ctrl articles with celebrate one party and demonize the other consistently are not to be taken seriously, at least by me. Yes, there may be valuable information there, but objectivity is more important in ferreting out conspiracy theory than in other journalism, I would opine.

Presumably the BBC means it is the fourteenth former Soviet Republic to do so, as Russia is not a member. A revealing oversight, and one that indicates the true purpose of the Partnership: To entangle all the non-Russian former republics in a U.S.-NATO dominated military command structure, one which will dictate not only the foreign policies but internal political and economic affairs in all of the affected countries. Though not mentioned in this report, the first effect of Tajikistan joining the PfP will be that it participates in the US and NATO's war in Afghanistan and beyond. With nineteen current full members of NATO and thirty PfP candidate members, there are now almost fifty national units in the constantly expanding bloc, most nowhere near the Atlantic Ocean whose name was appropriated to disguise the real mission of NATO. To understand how Russians and others must feel about this open-ended aggressive aggrandizement in a world where this isn't even a pretense of a rival military alliance, imagine that in the 1980s every member of NATO in Norh America and Western Europe, except the United States, had joined the Warsaw Pact, participated in a Russian war against Guatemala and built military bases in every nation in the Western Hemisphere...except the United States. --Rick Rozoff *** BBC World Service - Wednesday, 20 February, 2002, 14:49 GMT Tajikistan joins Nato peace Tajikistan has become the last former Soviet republic to join Nato's partnership for peace programme. The Nato secretary-general, Lord Robertson, praised what he said had been Tajikistan's prominent role in the recent war against terrorism - it was a key component in efforts to bring stability to the region, he said. The Tajik ambassador to Brussels, Sharif Rahimov, who signed the partnership agreement for his country, said joining the programme - which gives members regular political contact with Nato and military co-operation - would help Tajikistan modernise its armed forces. Correspondents say Tajikistan - which becomes the 30th member of Partnership for Peace - has blamed the delay on joining on the country's five-year civil war. >From the newsroom of the BBC World Service http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_1831000/1831939.s tm (C) BBC 2002 * Reprinted for Fair Use Only *** Join our email list at http://emperors-clothes.com/f.htm.

[CTRL] Losing the Afghan Peace
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.guardian.co.uk/Print/0,3858,4363937,00.html }}}>Begin A new war is brewing in Afghanistan Unless British troops stay for the long haul, fighting may reignite Luke Harding in Kabul Wednesday February 27, 2002 The Guardian The scene was faintly reminiscent of Julius Caesar. Lying in a freshly dug grave was Afghanistan's murdered aviation minister, Abdul Rahman. As rain drizzled down on Kabul's muddy cemetery, Afghanistan's interior minister, Younis Qanooni, stepped forward. Dr Rahman, gruesomely murdered on his own plane, was a fine man who survived imprisonment by the Russians, Mr Qanooni said. He came back from exile only to meet an untimely death, he added. There was only one thing troubling about Mr Qanooni's funeral tribute - the fact that his own intelligence chief appears to have played a key role in bumping off Dr Rahman, the man lying in the ground. Two weeks ago Afghanistan's interim leader, Hamid Karzai, accused three members of his own government of murdering Dr Rahman when he was besieged by angry pilgrims whose plane to Mecca had failed to turn up. What, then, does this tale of post-Taliban assassination mean for Afghanistan? The answer is depressing: that Afghanistan is now in real danger of sliding back into civil war. Rockets are not yet raining down on Kabul. And we have not returned to 1992-1996 when rival mojahedin factions shelled each other, during the bleak pre-Taliban era. But the seeds of future conflict are being sown by a political settlement that gives too large a role to the Taliban's old adversaries - the Tajiks - and too small a one to the ousted militia's own ethnic group, the Pashtuns. The three officials who apparently killed Dr Rahman are all members of Jamiat-i- Islami, the Tajik party (and faction of the Northern Alliance) that effectively runs the country's new administration. There are whispers that Dr Rahman's unIslamic lifestyle - he liked parties and women - may have brought about his undoing. But the most credible explanation for his murder is political revenge. Many of Rahman's former Jamiat colleagues grew to view him as a traitor when he defected from the party in the 1990s and joined the royalist camp of Afghanistan's exiled king, Mohammad Zahir Shah. The fact that his enemies felt bold enough to plunge a knife, Cassius-like, into him soon after getting jobs in government is ominous. Jamiat troops took over Kabul last November after the Taliban's speedy departure. In the Bonn agreement that followed, the party was generously rewarded. It got the defence, interior, justice and foreign affairs ministries. It also controls the security and intelligence services. Hamid Karzai is Pashtun, the ethnic group which makes up about 40% of the population, while the Tajiks account for 25%. But increasingly he seems isolated and vulnerable, even within his own administration. Critics wonder whether he is much more than an American puppet. Mr Karzai is still rapturously received abroad: he meets the foreign secretary, Jack Straw, today in Delhi. But he controls little of Afghanistan beyond his presidential palace in Kabul. And unlike the old mojahedin warlords now back in power, he doesn't have an army. Since reoccupying Kabul, Jamiat has appointed its own supporters to crucial civil service posts. Many of the government's new advisers are decent, educated and pleasant, a refreshing change from the obscurantists who used to haunt the Taliban's ministries. The problem is that the new appointees are almost exclusively Tajik. Sooner or later this imbalance is likely to cause resentment in the Pashtun- dominated south. Britain is meanwhile preparing to do the one thing most likely to bring about another civil war: clear off. The government has said it wants all its 4,000 peacekeeping troops to leave Kabul by mid-April. Mr Straw has been trying to persuade Turkey to take over Britain's lead role in the International Security Assistance Force when its three-month term is up. But the Turks do not appear to want the job. Britain should instead commit to Afghanistan for the long haul and send peacekeepers outside Kabul, where they could be of real use. Some of the interim authority's Tajik ministers also need to be convinced to hand over their portfolios to Pashtuns when a permanent government in Kabul is formed later this year. If they do not, then a new war is clearly on the cards. The Taliban are currently demoralised. Those members of the regime not yet in US custody are hiding out in the tribal regions of Pakistan. But forces that once supported the Taliban - and have now trimmed their beards and dumped their black turbans - will not remain dormant indefinitely. Unless they are included in the political process, they are likely to stir up trouble. Nobody wants the Taliban back. But even their most grudging critics conceded that during their brutal stint in office they brought peace. It would be a dark irony if the international coa

Proud wife turns 'axis of evil' speech into a resignation letter
Matthew Engel in Washington
Wednesday February 27, 2002
The Guardian
The public had a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the White House yesterday
when David Frum, the man said to have invented the phrase "axis of evil", resigned
from President George Bush's speechwriting team, causing a debate as to whether
he walked out or was pushed.
Mr Frum became well known after President Bush used the term in his state of the
union address. But his celebrity came about only because his wife, Danielle, emailed
friends with "wifely pride" to claim credit for her husband. The message was picked
up by the media.
This was considered an affront to the discreet and collegiate traditions of the
speechwriters' room, whose occupants are accustomed to having their precious
words appropriated by the president, rewritten or scrapped, but are expected to
remain stoically anonymous.
The Frumgate affair erupted when the commentator Robert Novak claimed on CNN
that the president was so infuriated by the emails that Mr Frum was fired. This was
denied by the White House and Mr Frum, who accused Mr Novak of "making stuff
up" and said he had given a month's notice on January 24, while the speech was
being written.
In her email to friends and family, Mrs Frum wrote: "I realise this is very
'Washington'
of me to mention but my husband is responsible for the axis of evil segment in
Tuesday's state of the union address. It's not often a phrase one writes gains
national notice... so I hope you'll indulge my wifely pride in seeing this one repeated
in headlines everywhere!"
Presidents have a core team of four or five writers working on their speeches. Like
most White House staffers, they rarely last through the length of a presidency,
although Mr Bush has only been in office 13 months and Mr Frum is one of the first
senior figures to go.
"What you get is the excitement of being at the centre," said a team member from a
past administration, who asked, in keeping with the tradition, for anonymity.
"You're playing with history. But the job really takes it out of you. You break a lot
of
promises to your kids.
"And there are a lot of frustrations. Once a speech is made, it's supposed to be the
president's, not yours.
"The current team does a lot of collegial writing, and they're very good at it. That
takes a strong bond and very special people."
Mr Frum intends to return to more conventional writing under his own name. He has
already published two critiques of conservative politics and a history of the 1970s.
His new-found fame is unlikely to do him any harm with publishers contemplating
contracts.

[CTRL] The American and French Revolutions
-Caveat Lector- BF>Let me share a few very short thoughts on the difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution. The American Revolution is often claimed to have been conservative, while the French Revolution was radical. However, there was a definite democratic component to the American Revolution. There was also an elitist component to the French Revolution. The real differences between these two go deeper than those involving Locke battling with Rousseau. In my opinion, the difference between the two revolutions was not that one was a movement of independence and the other a revolution, as Russell Kirk and other conservatives have claimed. In a sense, if our Revolution was a movement of independence then we have the strange spectacle of the colonists first trying everything to reconcile with the Crown. The Eagle did not want to separate from the Lion. The American Revolutionaries only attempted independence when it was clear that their Lockean claim that taxation was wrong without representation would not be accepted by a Fillmorean England. The French model began with a conservative rebellion of noble against king, and ended with a blood-bath, and then a conservative restoration of the monarchy, even if a "citizen monarchy". The French monarchy ruled by some concept of divine right, and the Republic attempted to replicate this with its "Goddess of Reason" and "Cult of Reason". The Appolonian religion of the Jacobins degenerated in to the Dionysian rite. The French attempt to impose the rule of law could not overcome the irrationality it so strongly opposed. Thus we have the tragedy of all attempts to ignore the irrationalism that will surface in such atrocities as the Holocaust, Pol Pot's purges, and other historical tragedies. Such appeals to "reason" over reality are doomed to disregard reason entirely. In contrast, the American model recognized law, the restraint of passion, as the guiding principle. If the American Revolution was "conservative", as some who have compared it with the French Revolution have claimed, then it would not have differed from the Whig revolutions of England. America did differ considerably from Whig England. The Whig revolutions, with their Hannoveran monarchy and their unwritten constitutions, had no protections for the individual other than a set of precedents. This conservatism may have preserved England during her darkest hours, but did not function as a workable model for the United States. Obviously, French Revolutionary traditions were never accepted by the mainstream of the American liberal tradition. American liberalism emphasized legalism and compromise, not strident ideology. However, both the Anglican conservative model of constitutional liberty and the French model of radical republicanism are seen as foreign to the American mainstream for the same reasons. Protection for the individual is seen as a matter of legal protections, ignored by the English and French models alike. Plenty of nations have constitutions. Very few have the Bill of Rights that we have, putting a spine in the Constitution. The French Revolution was the soil in which nationalism in its modern form was born. The non-monarchical State no longer relied on the patriarchical notion of the oldest son succeeding the oldest son. The State no longer had a personalist basis, except for demagogic States. The new State was impersonal, and yet demanding total obedience from its citizens. The United State was not consolidated in this manner until World War I, when the war state took the helm. The war state meant the death knell of tolerance. Tolerance and legalism, with a strong dose of pragmatism, are the trademarks of American liberalism. American liberalism may have some of its origins in Christian and Enlightenment traditions of total certainty. However, for good or for ill, it differs from these traditions in the sense that it does not claim the certainties that Christian and Enlightenment traditions claim. The American model of legalism has survived great strains on its resurces. War scares have taxed the traditions of tolerance greatly, as even Wilson lamented. Today, we have the "Patriot Act" purporting to save us from enemies in our midst. What Americans must understand is that the sentiments held in the Declaration Of Independence, set to music against a waving flag, do not save us from tyranny. They are simply sentiments if they are not backed by a set of binding legal precedents. The Constitution holds these binding legal precedents in its Bill of Rights. They are no vague sentiments. Unfortunately, they were so legalistic as to not be universally inclusive at the beginning. However, they provided the basic structure that allows for an expanding tolerance. They are not Utopian, and have permitted evils to flourish under the banner of "choice". A profound philosophical argument could be raised as to what exte

WSWS : News & Analysis : North America New York City mayor slashes public services By Alan Whyte and Peter Daniels 27 February 2002 Back to screen version| Send this link by email | Email the author The budget proposed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg earlier this month would mean major cuts in public and social services. The mayor called for closing a projected $4.76 billion budget deficit with funding cutbacks for city agencies ranging from 6 to 26 percent, along with a series of increased fees that will disproportionately affect workers and the unemployed. About 6,000 city jobs are to be cut through attrition and employee buyouts. The reductions in services will come precisely as rising unemployment and poverty make the programs all the more necessary. The budget for the Administration for Childrens Services, for instance, will be cut by about 18 percent, or $80 million, resulting in the elimination of 10,000 slots in a proposed day-care expansion program. Sixteen million, or 19 percent, will be slashed from the budget of Youth and Community Services, leading to the likely disappearance of 2,000 summer jobs for youth. At the Department for the Aging the cuts amount to $26.1 million, or 16 percent. Prescription drug reimbursements would be eliminated, along with weekend meals for the elderly. Seven senior citizens centers would be closed and four others would not be opened as previously scheduled. The Department of Homeless Services would be cut by 17 percent at a time when the number of homeless is steadily increasing. Legal services that help families fight evictions would also be cut, a step sure to increase the demand for the homeless services being slashed. The citys public schools are in desperate shape, with necessary supplies, such as paper, unavailable. After two decades of increased immigrationrising at a rate unprecedented in the past 100 yearsthe overcrowded and dilapidated school buildings are a scandal, yet Bloomberg proposes to cut the schools construction budget by $692 million, or 20 percent. The operating budget for the schools will be cut by $354 million, or 7 percent, leading, at the very least, to the elimination of all extracurricular activities. On the college level, City University funding is to be cut by 13 percent. Other public services are also coming under the axe. Library funding is to be cut by $39 million, or 15 percent, on top of previous cutbacks over the past decade. Branch libraries that are currently open for six days a week will probably be cut back to five. Other suggested cuts include $10 million from the Fire Department, to eliminate some ambulance shifts; $56 million from the Sanitation Department, eliminating metal, plastic and glass recycling; and another 13 percent at the Parks Department, the agency that has been all but decimated even during the boom years. The mayor has depicted himself as a hands-on manager of the citys finances, firm but compassionate, making sure that the sacrifices are shared equitably. The media has taken up this reassuring refrain, with the New York Times pointing to the pledge to hold off on layoffs for a year and editorializing that Bloomberg seems to be trying hard to be fair. When the budget was announced by Bloomberg on February 14 the Times declared what he has done can hardly be called a St. Valentines Day Massacre. By avoiding layoffs and spreading the pain broadly across the city, the mayor may even manage to win a few hearts. Notwithstanding these claims, it is obvious to all that the wealthy will hardly be affected at all by the cuts. They have no need for the citys public schools and social services. Central Park, the citys crown jewel in the heart of the wealthiest neighborhoods, is maintained largely through private funds as a result of changes carried out over the past 20 years. Bloomberg made much of the fact that even the Police Department, in the aftermath of September 11, will be asked to absorb a reduction of about 6 percent. He reiterated his commitment to zero tolerance for crime, however, and said that whatever resources were necessary would be found immediately if there was any increase in the crime figures. He made no such promise about finding money for schools, hospitals or other services. While Bloomberg talks about sharing the pain, he also insists that there can be no increase in personal income or corporate taxes, lest businesses and the wealthy flee New York. As a result the super-rich, like the billionaire mayor himself (his
