[CTRL] Anti-Semitic attacks complement anti-Arab racism
-Caveat Lector- From World Socialist Web Site www.wsws.org Their aims are three-fold: In order to justify Sharons war against the Palestinians, their propaganda portrays all Muslims as anti-Semitic. For the same purpose they attack all critics of Sharon and of political Zionism as essentially anti-Jewish and, finally, they use fear of anti-Semitism to oppose Jewish assimilation and argue for mass emigration to Israel. To proclaim all of any group as being all one way has its own flavour of bigotry without specific examples of specific acts by specific persons. If all are blamed, this will tend to unite the like persons whether they share views or not. Thus, this plays out in any attacks on Sharon and his band of hooligans. Although some may personally feel Sharon is the wrong person for this time in history, they will band with Ariel due to some fluffy idealistic codependent identification. Again, that acrid flavour becomes apparent. And, thus, we find ourselves confronted with all of them (they who are discourteous enough to self-define themselves as a them, other than us), they look upon us and everyone else apart from them as being the others. Now, I don't look like no one else. This has been a BIG problem with accepting people who have aspirations of repatriating to migrating to another locale. I don't care who it is: they just might not be depended upon to support the immediate (time and place) groups with whom they live. So, by their own actions, they have not only separated themselves from the whole but the whole has accepted their voluntarily self-imposed separation. Instantaneous discrimination. Mutual and equal. I, as an American, living in Germany for a period of three years, was perceived to be a temporary asset to that country. I could have cared less what happened in the local community and there was no secret about it. As long as my favourite restaurant had good food and cold beer, I was happy. As long as I paid my rent and utilities on time, the Germans were happy. I broke no laws, was polite, and gave the landlord a gift at the holidays. So, I was not introduced into polite society nor accepted into many's homes as a consequence. I did not perceive that the Germans were anti- American (of some German extraction). It's just no one's gonna stick their necks out for someone they know would rather be somewhere else and just might be on their way in the morning. Until the people decide they're (in general) stuck where they're at (at least country- wise), they're always gonna be a little less accepted and a little more out cast. I didn't feel a need to have any part of my body kissed because I was a minority and expected to be considered special thereby. AER }}}Begin WSWS : News Analysis : Europe : France France: Anti-Semitic attacks complement anti-Arab racism By Chris Marsden 26 April 2002 Back to screen version| Send this link by email | Email the author An unholy alliance of hard-line Zionists and the fascist National Front of Jean Marie Le Pen is spearheading efforts to whip up already festering tensions between Frances Muslims and Jews. What amounts to a concerted political campaign is utilising a spate of anti-Semitic attacks perpetrated by disaffected North African youth in order to legitimise racist and nationalist policies and stringent law and order measures that are antithetical to the interests of Muslims and Jews alike. It is of paramount importance to take a principled stand against the advocates of communal hatred on all sides. Especially in the country that is home to Europes largest Muslim population of around six million and to 700,000 Jewsmaking France the worlds fourth largest population centre for Jewish people after Israel, the United States and Russia. This is lent additional urgency not only by the terrible events unfolding in the Middle East, but also by the recent electoral success of the fascist National Front (FN) leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, who placed second in the first round of Frances presidential elections. The man who once described the Holocaust as a detail of history is seeking to foster anti- Muslim sentiment while portraying himself as a friend to Frances Jewish people due to his advocacy of law and order measures and anti-Muslim stance. All evidence suggests that the latest outbreak of anti-Semitic attacks are generally motivated by a misplaced sympathy amongst Muslim youth for the Palestinians suffering under Israeli occupation. This fact alone demonstrates once again that Zionism is the enemy of the Jewish people, rather than its saviour. The crimes of Ariel Sharons government has blackened the name of Israel amongst millions of the worlds people and has associated a people historically amongst the foremost advocates of progressive ideals with the systematic denial of the democratic rights and brutalisation of the Palestinians. None of this makes attacks on Jewish people and religious institutions

New York on nuclear alert after blast
From James Bone in New York
NEW YORK was seized by fears of a dirty bomb terrorist attack yesterday after an
apparently accidental explosion ripped through a commercial building, injuring
dozens, at least six critically.
Manhattan hospitals were put on full disaster alert and prepared to decontaminate
incoming victims from radiation, with at least one scanning them with a Geiger
counter.
Fearing a new terrorist attack, the FBI and the New York bomb squad swooped on
the ten-storey building on West 19th Street in response to the blast shortly before
noon. The surrounding streets were cordoned off and emergency crews and more
than 100 firefighters set up a triage centre on the pavement for dozens of walking
wounded.
St Vincents Hospital, which treated the injured from the World Trade Centre on
September 11, declared its top Code Three disaster alert as its safety officer
monitored arriving victims for radiation in a decontamination area. Federal officials
gave warning recently that al- Qaeda may be trying to develop a radiological device,
or dirty bomb, for attacks in the United States.
Six people were admitted to the hospital in very critical condition with head wounds
and burns, after the blast which injured up to 50. Windows along the block were
blown out by the force of the explosion and several of the injured were hit by flying
glass. More than 100 firefighters were called to the scene.
But Dr Richard Westfal, the associate director of St Vincent Hospitals emergency
room, said: There was no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction or anything
like that. It looked like just an explosion.
The blast rattled nearby buildings and was initially thought to have occurred in the
Apex Technical School on the corner of West 19th Street and 6th Ave. The school
was not damaged.
Bill Beek, who lives a half-block away, said: It was a real giant boom, It sounded
like
an airplane crashing.
One eyewitness, Alan Awol, said: I heard a big explosion. The whole third floor had
collapsed. People were stuck on the third floor. They looked like they were hysterical,
like they wanted to jump out.
Scott Bonilla, a student at the technical school, said he was inside the building when
it began shaking. They told us to rush out of the building, he said. Stuart
Markowitz,
who runs the schools education department, said: It was just a really loud noise.
Some of our windows did get blown out.
Michael Bloomberg, the New York Mayor, said: At the moment I want to assure that
there is absolutely no reason to think this is anything other than a tragic accident,
and
we hope there is no loss of life.
Like the jet crash near John F. Kennedy airport late last year, the blast rattled New
Yorkers nerves and offered another test of the citys revamped emergency response
system.
Nicholas Scoppetta, the New York Fire Commissioner, said that the explosion
occurred in the basement of the building, which houses a company that makes signs.
He said the company received shipments of volatile materials in 50-gallon drums on
Wednesday but could not say if those were the cause of the explosion. According to
earlier reports, the New York City building department had received a complaint
about unauthorised construction at the site and inspectors had issued a stop-work
order on Tuesday. Despite the ban, work apparently continued.

[CTRL] Data Destruction
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=155181contrassID= 2subContrassID=4sbSubContrassID=0listSrc=Y }}}Begin Friday, April 26, 2002 Iyyar 14, 5762 Israel Time: 09:28 (GMT+3) Operation Destroy the Data By Amira Hass It's a scene that is repeating itself in hundreds of Palestinian offices taken over by IDF troops for a few hours or days in the West Bank: smashed, burned and broken computer terminals heaped in piles and thrown into yards; server cabling cut, hard disks missing, disks and diskettes scattered and broken, printers and scanners broken or missing, laptops gone, telephone exchanges that disappeared or were vandalized, and paper files burned, torn, scattered, or defaced - if not taken. And it's all in rooms full of smashed furniture, torn curtains, broken windows, smashed-in doors, walls full of holes, filthy floors and soiled bathrooms. Here and there, the soldiers left obscene graffiti or letters full of hatred, but compared to the data that was destroyed or taken, the insults read like poetry. Even the overflowing toilets look more like human weakness compared to the organized vandalism reflected in the piles of smashed computers. It's not merely the expense of the hardware that has to be replaced. The loss is immeasurable in shekels or dollars. Years of information built into knowledge, time spent thinking by thousands of people working to build their civil society and their future or trying to build a private sector that would bring a sense of economic stability to their country. These are the data banks developed in Palestinian Authority institutions like the Education Ministry, the Higher Education Ministry and the Health Ministry. These are the data banks of the non-governmental organizations and research institutes devoted to developing a modern health system, modern agricultural, environmental protection and water conservation. These are the data banks of human rights organizations, banks and private commercial enterprises, infirmaries, and supermarkets. They all were clearly the targets for destruction in the military operation called Defensive Shield. The Israeli public has been spared the sights of the destruction. Here and there, a photo of some demolished office sneaks into the TV news shows. But Israeli TV news doesn't find a few seconds to report on a Palestinian woman or a child of nine who was shot dead from a distance, inside their homes, by an anonymous Israeli soldier, so how can it find time or reason to report on the crazed destruction perpetrated by a unit of soldiers in one office. The IDF has given up denying that some soldiers looted - money, jewels and video cameras - private homes. That can be explained by officers too weak to impose discipline on their soldiers and by soldiers too weak to fight material temptation. But the systematic destruction of the data banks was not a matter of personal weakness by either officers or soldiers. Let's not deceive ourselves; this was not a mission to search and destroy the terrorist infrastructure. If the forces breaking into every hard disk of every bank and clinic, commercial consultant's office or PA ministry, thought that a list of weapons or wanted men was inside the disk, all they had to do was copy the information and pass it on to the Shin Bet. If they thought incriminating evidence was hidden in the Education Ministry and the International Bank of Palestine and in a shop that rents prosthetics, the soldiers would have examined document after document, and not thrown the files on the floor without opening them. This was not a whim, or crazed vengeance, by this or that unit, nor a personal vandalistic urge of a soldier whose buddies didn't dare stop him. There was a decision made to vandalize the civic, administrative, cultural infrastructure developed by Palestinian society. Was it an explicit order or one given with a wink? Was it an order or was it the result of permission given to soldiers to do what they want? Did the order - or wink - come down from the battalion commander or from the brigadier? Was it from the headquarters of IDF forces in the West Bank or from IDF Operations? Did it come from the general in command of the Central Command or from general headquarters? Either way, the scenes of systematic destruction show how the IDF translated into the field the instructions inherent in the political echelon's policies: Israel must destroy Palestinian civil institutions, sabotaging for years to come the Palestinian goal for independence, sending all of Palestinian society backward. It's so easy and comforting to think of the entire Palestinian society as primitive, bloodthirsty terrorists, after the raw material and product of their intellectual, cultural, social and economic activity has been destroyed. That way, the Israeli public can continue to be deceived into believing that terror is a genetic problem and not a sociological and political mutation,
[CTRL] Against terrorism, not people
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,690805,00.html An army spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Olivier Rafowicsz, said yesterday: We are not in a war against the Palestinian Authority or the Palestinian people. We are in a war against terrorism. Capt Edelheit's response: The human rights organisations are not always fair, blonde, blue-eyed Europeans. }}}Begin Schools, banks and a puppet theatre trashed Palestinians say Israel has wrecked the infrastructure of their emerging state by systematically demolishing key installations in Ramallah Ewen MacAskill in Ramallah Friday April 26, 2002 The Guardian The damage done by the Israeli army during its three-week occupation of Ramallah, de facto capital of the Palestinian Authority, is obvious: the flattened cars, blackened buildings and smashed shopfronts. But the more serious damage is invisible. The army destroyed or removed the files and records of many Palestinian ministries and institutions, ranging from high-level financial documents to the records of school graduations. The Palestinians were yesterday still clearing up the debris. The damage is estimated at tens of millions of dollars. Some said it would take years to rebuild the information that was stolen and taken to Israel. In many cases, the data has gone forever. The Palestinians claim that Israel set out to destroy the infrastructure of their emerging state. The Israeli army insists its aim was purely to destroy the infrastructure of terror. An army spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Olivier Rafowicsz, said yesterday: We are not in a war against the Palestinian Authority or the Palestinian people. We are in a war against terrorism. But the army's interpretation of what constitutes the infrastructure of terror has turned out to be a broad one: the soldiers trashed schools, banks, hospitals, cultural centres, stores, human rights offices and radio and television stations, including one called Peace and Love. Some of the wreckage was wanton and spiteful, carried out by bored soldiers billeted in Palestinian buildings. The looting was small-scale. The worst of the damage was systematic. Police stations were wrecked and all the Palestinian Authority's ministries, except the ministry of planning and the ministry of sport, were ransacked. The main target was computers, whose hard drives were removed and taken to Israel. Among the trashed institutions were: · Aziz Shaheen girls' school in the But al-Hawa district. With 800 pupils it is one of the biggest schools on the West Bank, and it has a good academic reputation, especially in science and technology. Ten Israeli tanks were parked in its playground for three weeks; snipers used the upper floor. Children returning to the school on Monday found it surrounded by barbed wire, rubbish and spent explosives. They were told by the principal, Mariam Masharka, 45, to go home until the school was cleaned up and repaired. Sabrine Wadir, 15, a pupil, said: Our first sight was the playground, surrounded by a barbed-wire fence, as if it was a jail. The lock to my classroom was broken. They destroyed pictures of flowers, martyrs, our president. Musical instruments were looted, books were torn and piled in the corridors. Anti- Arab graffiti was scrawled in every corridor. Among the debris was a tapestry in a broken glass frame, saying Peace and Justice for Palestine. An Israeli army spokesman, Captain Ron Edelheit, responded: If you have a platoon staying, there are bound to be scratches. · Mattin human rights group which has an office at a crossroads on al-Haq street. Salwa Daibis, a partner in the Mattin group, said: A metal door had been flung 50 metres away. It took me half an hour to locate my desk, upside down, covered with other things, tins of food, Coca-Cola tins. The cash box was not there. I couldn't find my computer. I found a [computer] shell. I think it is mine. The hard disk is gone. Some monitors are missing. This is 20 years of work. My whole life is there. This is an assault against an entire population to damage the fabric of society. Capt Edelheit's response: The human rights organisations are not always fair, blonde, blue-eyed Europeans. Some of them were linked to terrorists, he claimed. · Housing Bank for Trade and Finance one block from Manara Square. The headquarters of a Jordanian bank that provides loans for building homes. On April 3, a tank fired three rounds through its plate-glass windows. The entire contents of two floors were demolished. Talib Muleseh, 45, operations manager for the bank, which has 32 staff, 25,000 customers and is worth $51m, said: There was no reason for this. It is banking terror. It is about destroying the Palestinian infrastructure. The bank supported the Palestinian economy. He estimated the cost of repairs at more than $200,000, which includes two new cash-in-the wall machines at $40,000 each. Capt Edelheit said there were buildings the army had not

[CTRL] Hosni Mubarak: 'Israel has gone beyond all limits'
-Caveat Lector- 'Beyond all limits' ISRAEL'S invasion of the Palestinian territories is barbaric and the Israeli leadership is labouring under delusions of military force, according to President Hosni Mubarak. In an address to the nation yesterday, commemorating the 20th anniversary of Sinai Day, Mubarak devoted most of his speech to lambasting Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government for its defiance of international law and reason, reports Nevine Khalil. [Israel's] practices represent gross infringements of all norms, laws and legitimacy, and demonstrate a lack of any clear vision for peace. [Israel] is living in an illusion that military force will win security for itself, Mubarak told the world. 25 April marks the day when Israeli forces completed their withdrawal from Sinai, except for Taba, the last disputed patch of occupied Egyptian territory. The Taba issue was litigated at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) where it was decided that the resort town fell within Egypt's borders, not Israel's. Israel has gone beyond all limits by laying siege to the Church of the Nativity, by violating human rights in all Palestinian areas -- especially at the Jenin refugee camp -- and by attempting to cover up evidence ... (of the) horrendous crimes perpetrated by the Israeli Defence Forces, said Mubarak. He also described as groundless Israel's claim that the Palestinian legitimate right to resistance is really terrorism. The president said that Tel Aviv is using this argument to avoid being accused of state terrorism against Palestine. Mubarak continued that Israel was also taking advantage of some international powers' reluctance to perform their role in order to [serve their own] interests. Mubarak clearly hinted that America and European powers were failing to pressure Israel to take the road to peace. We must all be vigilant and rational, close ranks and unite our efforts, in order to besiege the forces of aggression for the sake of a just, balanced and comprehensive peace, he said. http://wadada.net/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/wadada/emailit/emailit.cgi?action=refertitle=Al-Ahram Weekly C Copyright Al-Ahram Weekly.

[CTRL] Washington's Lethal Double Standards
-Caveat Lector- Washington's Lethal Double Standards by Mouin Rabbani Mouin Rabbani is director of the Palestinian American Research Center in the West Bank town of Ramallah. _ Ramallah (22 April 2002) -- The United States is entirely correct to insist that there can be no justification for the deliberate and indiscriminate use of violence - i.e. terrorism - against civilian non-combattants in political conflicts. Yet in the Middle East it has honoured this principle mainly in the breach, and applied it in a manner at best laughable. A particularly instructive example was provided this month, on the 12th of April. From Jenin in the West Bank, incontrovertible evidence of the largest Israeli bloodbath since Sabra-Chatilla http://indictsharon.net/ began to emerge despite Israel's systematic efforts to conceal the atrocity from the media. Later that afternoon, a Palestinian woman detonated herself in central Jerusalem, killing six Israeli civilians and wounding approximately sixty others. The only suspects in Jenin are the Israeli political leadership and military. The Jerusalem attack was carried out by a militia loosely affiliated with the Palestinian Authority. Given that dozens and probably hundreds of Palestinian civilians have been killed in Jenin - Israel remains determined to prevent us from finding out exactly how many - the very minimum a rational observer would have expected from the United States would be a sharp condemnation of both events, an unambiguous US demand that both the Israeli and Palestinian leaders explicitly condemn the terrorist acts perpetrated by their own citizens, and an equally strong appeal to Ariel Sharon and Yasir Arafat to punish those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. What transpired instead was shocking even by the double standards the current administration has accustomed us to. On the one hand the Bush administration repeatedly and vociferously denounced the terrorist attack in Jerusalem, demanded that Arafat explicitly condemn it as well, and - at a time when the Palestinian security forces were being systematically destroyed by Israel and could not even issue a parking ticket - ordered these forces to take immediate action against Palestinian militant organisations. And lest there be any doubt that Washington held the Palestinian leader personally responsible for not having prevented the attack, Secretary of State Colin Powell - in the full knowledge that what little remains of Arafat's office is surrounded by dozens of Israeli tanks and that he cannot even flush the toilet without Israeli consent - abruptly postponed a planned meeting with him. In its approach to Israel the United States was a little more forgiving. In fact, Jenin failed to grace the lips of even a single American official. Not only did Washington refuse to condemn the atrocity, it failed to even recognise that one had been perpetrated, or to more diplomatically request that unconfirmed but disturbing reports be promptly investigated. Indeed, on 12 April the White House would not go beyond praising Sharon as a man of peace, whereas Powell made it a point to welcome Israel's ongoing West Bank offensive. Terrible as the Jerusalem suicide bombing undoubtedly was, its victims were either dead or hospitalised by the time Washington reacted. Many in Jenin were by contrast still bleeding to death from treatable wounds under the rubble on account of the continuing Israeli siege, which included a systematic denial of medical care and even water. This made Washington's see-no-evil approach to Sharon's work in progress nothing short of lethal. Lest there be any misunderstanding, America's divergent reactions to Palestinian organisational and Israeli state terrorism this past Friday is no recent development. Throughout the past 18 months of conflict, the United States has condemned each and every killing of an Israeli civilian, and more often than not also the death of Israeli soldiers on active duty in occupied territory. At the same time, it has not once - I repeat, not in a single instance - explicitly condemned the killing of a Palestinian civilian. This despite the fact that many more Palestinian than Israeli civilians have been killed, that most Palestinian casualties have been civilians, and that voluminous evidence produced by local, Israeli and international human rights organisations conclusively demonstrates that many if not most of these have been victims of the deliberate and indiscriminate Israeli use of force. It appears to be the current position of the Bush administration that an Israeli soldier killing Palestinians inside a West Bank refugee camp is engaged in legitimate self-defense, a Palestinian police officer shooting back at him a terrorist, and his dead parents and children the victims of their own leadership rather than of those who shoot, shell, and kill them. With its appalling disregard for Palestinian life, the United States has cavalierly squandered

But civil libertarians and First Amendment lawyers argue they invite police abuse and curtail public scrutiny. State Sen. Bill Bullard, R-Highland Township, who co-sponsored one of the bills with Sen. Shirley Johnson, R-Royal Oak, said despite specific wording that makes the records nonpublic, he believes affidavits still are subject to Michigan's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Johnson could not be reached for comment. FOIA trumps that, Bullard said Wednesday. If we had wanted to amend FOIA, we would have done that. But a Friday memo from State Court Administrator John Ferry Jr. to courts across the state makes no such distinction. The memo tells clerks that access to the records is restricted. When an Oakland Press reporter sought a search warrant from a district court Tuesday, a clerk said they can't be released and handed over a copy of the memo about the new law. The new law makes all search warrants, affidavits and tabulations in any court file or record retention system nonpublic, according to the memo. How else is that to be interpreted? said Dawn Phillips, a First Amendment lawyer with the Michigan Press Association. People in law enforcement want to follow laws. If they are looking at that memo, they are not going to release those records. The bills were part of an anti-terrorism package that passed the Legislature after the Sept. 11 attacks. At issue are affidavits, the sworn information police submit to courts when they want to get permission to search someone's home. The information often includes the name of the person who has told police where the criminal or evidence can be found. If a person's home is searched and he or she is charged with a crime, a defense lawyer can demand access to the information. If the government seeks to forfeit the person's property in a civil case, the file also would be opened. But if no charges are brought, the new law doesn't spell out a way for the person who was searched to learn why the police searched the home. Pontiac defense attorney Elbert Hatchett said the move is an expansion of a dubious process of sealing warrants. Unfortunately, that's been the case for some time, Hatchett said. The officer asks for a search warrant and then asks the judge for a suppression order citing an on-going investigation. It's almost automatic. These courts and these legislators have always exalted the rights of police over the rights of the accused. State Rep. Ruth Johnson (R-Holly) said the point of the law is to protect victims. She said judges still must approve warrants. Everything we do is a balancing act, she said. The judge is the person that is entrusted to make sure it's done properly. State Rep. Nancy Cassis (R-Novi), who cosponsored the bill in the House, said the provisions originated in a domestic violence package. Legislators were worried that attackers could learn where their victims were staying by getting the address from the affidavit. Believe me, if there were to occur abuse of this, I'm sure it would be relooked, Cassis said. State Rep. Andrew Raczkowski (R-Farmington Hills) said closing the affidavits to public view protects victims from criminals and the media. On that affidavit, you also have information about the victim, Raczkowski said. The media can look up that information and go straight to the victim or a criminal can do that.

[CTRL] Can Libertarians Support Le Pen?
Source: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig3/philippe1.html Can Libertarians Support Le Pen? by Cécile Philippe I did not vote in the last French presidential elections, first because I am in the United States, and second because the program of all the candidates is disgusting to me. France is, after all, the most socialist country in the Western world. But the second-place finish of the right-wing leader Jean-Marie Le Pen against President Jacques Chirac, and the coming run-off between them, is so astonishing that I looked more carefully at the programs of the two finalists. Here is another surprise. Despite his protectionist views, Le Pen should also be known for his libertarian ones. It is true that Le Pen's program is structured round national preference. For example, he defends the protection of the national market in order to reserve jobs for French people. He proposes to reestablish commercial frontiers to protect French labor and products. That measure would be accompanied by the recapture of the interior market and of exports. He also suggests that he would restabilize the relations between big and small enterprises. He calls himself an anti-globalist. He wants national preference written in the constitution. Yet protectionism is first unjust and second inefficient. It is unjust because it does not respect the property rights of French people, employers or employees, consumers or producers, who want to import products or hire foreigners they consider more able to serve to their needs. The first right of a human being is to control his body, and then the resources he has homesteaded or exchanged. Consequently, every exercise of violence against voluntary exchange is an act against liberty and thus unjust. Protectionist measures are also inefficient because they hinder the satisfaction of the most urgent needs of the consumer. They are those measures undertaken by the authority, which directly and primarily are intended to divert production, in the widest meaning of the word, including commerce and transportation, from the ways it would take in the unhampered market. It makes people poorer, which is particularly obvious in international trade. Restriction on mobility of products, capital goods, and labor hinders the operation of what Ricardo called The Law of Comparative Cost, the fact that each country turns toward those areas of production for which its condition offer comparatively, although not absolutely, the most favorable opportunities. Despite these very negative elements, Le Pen also defends liberty and justice in some important area. First, he advocates ending-and he is the only candidate to have done so-the 35-hour law, which is an infamy. It prohibits laborers from working more than 35 hours per week because they should share the work with those who do not have any (thanks to other interventions by the welfare state). Nobody can say on a priori grounds how many hours someone should work. This is something to be decided in the contract between employee and employer. Besides, this law is counter-productive on its own terms, since it hinders exchanges that would otherwise have occurred, while at the same time promoting other exchanges that would never have taken place in a free market, exactly because they would not have been efficient. An even more important point is that Le Pen denounces the Treaty of Maastricht and the Euro currency. Whereas all the other candidates (Chirac, Jospin, Madelin ) want to build a Big Europe, Le Pen wants to get rid of all the agreements signed in the last years, in order to get out of the Euro. He also wants to put an end to that huge machine of laws, the Commission of Brussels. These would be very important steps toward liberty. The Euro is a very bad money in the hand of inflationists, and the Brussels Commission has amazing powers of property-rights destruction. Another important point of Le Pen's program concerns taxation. Taxation is one of the involuntary means that government uses to finance itself. Every step toward its diminution increases liberty and efficiency. Le Pen proposes to suppress inheritance, income, and land taxes, and to lighten the taxation of businesses and financial transfers. Of course, we have to wonder how he will do that, as he wants to increase spending on such things as subsidies for children and the munitions manufacturers. On the other hand, he does criticize US military hegemony. Finally, Le Pen clearly defends disengagement from the government by advocating a reduction in public employment and the restoration of free choice in schooling, and he even comes close to suggesting a free market in adoptions. None of these points make Le Pen a consistent defender of liberty, but for those French libertarians willing to support the lesser of evils, that is clearly Le Pen as compared to Chirac. Among the 97 points of Chirac's program, you will hardly find anything liberal. As he tries to please everybody and not to forget

For commercial use contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.tenc.net * [Emperor's Clothes] === HOW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (AP) GUTTED ITS VENEZUELAN COUP D'ETAT SCOOP By Jared Israel [Posted 25 April 2002] === Does the Western media deliberately distort the news to serve the interests of the foreign policy establishments of the NATO countries, especially the US? Based on much research, Emperor's Clothes says: yes, but not entirely. Journalists sometimes - perhaps often - write accurate pieces. However, when the issues are important, foreign policy stories get edited or replaced, with the end result supporting a slant which is so consistently in tune with the long-term goals of the US foreign policy elite that it is possible, by analyzing news stories, to predict positions which will be adopted by the US government. That is partly how we made the predictions in the article, Why Does Washington Want Afghanistan? Alas, those predictions have proven true. (1) Every day we test the above-stated thesis using the excellent Lexis search engine. It enables us to scan millions of newspaper articles and TV news transcripts in seconds. We can focus on particular dates or periods of time. We can check for the presence or absence of certain words or phrases. In this way, we can fashion an hypothesis and test it - see if we are right about the line being taken by most or all the media. Or we can just go fishing and see what we find. On April 13th, the Associated Press published what is by far the best - indeed, from what I've seen, the only - mainstream article reporting the massive police terror against pro-Chavez Venezuelans after the recent coup d'etat. It was a scoop. Below I have posted this dispatch, written by Christopher Toothaker. Soon after AP released out the Toothaker dispatch, they sent a new piece. This covered some of the same ground but left out Toothaker's account of police terror in poor neighborhoods. The new dispatch, by Andrew Selsky, retained only one thing from the original: the first sentence of an important paragraph. But while this sentence remained the same, the rest of the paragraph was rewritten to reverse the meaning. More on that in a moment. The key thing is that all the original material in the Toothaker dispatch had been removed. AP had gutted their scoop. AP dispatches are sent out to news media outlets around the world. Thus by April 14th, most of the important newspapers and TV stations had received two very different AP dispatches. The first (Toothaker) was detailed and refuted the official line on what had happened in Venezuela. The second (Selsky) was general and supported the official line. This is as close to a scientific experiment as one could fashion to test our thesis that key media outlets censor themselves to support the US establishment's agenda. Below is Toothaker's AP dispatch. It is most informative. Indeed, it is the only place, outside the pro-Chavez media and Websites critical of US foreign policy (likes ours) where you will find anything challenging the official story about what happened in Venezuela.

Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - The Australian government, under fire for its handling of illegal immigrants, warned this week that a failure to act firmly in protecting national borders would lead to growing support for controversial figures like the far-right French politician Jean-Marie le Pen.A number of European countries are grappling with an influx of asylum-seekers, economic migrants and others -- mostly of Balkan, Asian or Mideast origin -- and governments have expressed fears the issue may prompt voters to look toward ultra-nationalists who campaign on anti-immigration tickets. http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=\ForeignBureaus\archive\200204\FOR20020426b.html While we were sleeping, the enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat.

[CTRL] U.S. Feeds North Korea, So It Can Fight ... the U.S.
U.S. Feeds North Korea, So It Can Fight ... the U.S. NewsMax.com Wires and NewsMax.comFriday, April 26, 2002 SEOUL, South Korea Thanks to U.S. aid, starving North Korea is spending even more money on its 1.1-million-strong army to fight the United States. In a show of civilian support for the military, tens of thousands of students, workers and farmers joined a massive military parade Thursday in central Pyongyang to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the armed forces. Pyongyang's state-run newspaper said all citizens in the communist regime would join hands with army troops to make the so-called People's Army even bigger to ward off what it described as threats from the "U.S. warmongers" who, it claims, have tried to provoke a nuclear war with North Korea. Rodong Sinmun, the mouthpiece of the dictatorship's ruling Workers' Party, cited the Pentagon's recent nuclear posture review that described contingency plans for using nuclear arms against North Korea as a sign that the United States was ready to conduct nuclear attack. "Our country is turning into the main target of U.S. imperialists' military plot and the fiercest battlefield for our military confrontations with the U.S. imperialists," it said. The newspaper called for all-out national efforts to expand North Korea's military power even more. "The people should support and assist the army, and the army and the people should defend the sovereignty of the nation," Rodong Sinmun said. Feeding the Mouth That Bites Us And how is the poverty-stricken failure of communism able to afford to rattle its sabers at America? Because America keeps abetting it! President Bush, continuing the astonishing policies of the Clinton administration, has actually boasted that this enemy nation is on the U.S. dole. And this is the same nation he described as part of the "axis of evil." "I can't tell you how sorry I feel for the North Korean people," Bush said in February on a visit to South Korea. "My heart breaks for people who live in a society that is not free, and where there is tremendous starvation." Bush said that if the regime were not pouring the country's resources into weapons, it could feed its people. But of course, why should North Korea fulfill its responsibilities if the U.S. will? North Korea, with a population of 22 million, has an armed force of 1.1 million, the world's fifth largest. The regime has asked for all North Koreans to uphold "military-first politics" created by Kim Jong Il, who rules in the capacity of the top military official. "Our citizens have to be unconditional adherent and stanch supporters of the army-first thought, a treasured sword for complete triumph in the struggles to accomplish the cause of self-reliance," Rodong Sinmun said. 'Rare Strategy' Indeed Kim has led "a war minus gun reports against the imperialists to a victory with steel-strong will, matchless courage and rare strategy to save the fates of the country and the nation," it said. Kim reviewed the military parade held at the Kimilsung Square crowded with government officials and citizens, the North's television footage showed. Taking part were members of "the worker-peasant red guard and the young red guard," as well as students of "revolutionary schools and military academies," the official Korean Central TV said. In a statement at the ceremony, People's Armed Forces Minister Kim Il Chol pledged "unconditional" loyalty to Kim Jong Il and vowed to defend the country from what he claimed was a U.S. scheme to stifle it with force. "It is our army's tradition to respond to any strong action with stronger action, and control fire with fire," Kim was quoted as saying. Analysts in Seoul said the North's campaign was a move to intensify control over the population that is suffering from food shortages. "North Korea's mobilization of many civilians for the military function is largely aimed at stressing the military-first policy as well as demonstrating its military capabilities," said Paek Seung-ju, a defense analyst.

Kennedy, Jr., his wife and her sister took off from a small, New Jersey airport in his private plane. But as the trio made their way to Martha's Vineyard for a brief stopover, tragedy struck. At about 9:41 that evening, Kennedy's plane disappeared from radar and plunged into the Atlantic Ocean. Is it possible that Kennedy became disoriented and literally flew his plane into the ocean? Or has the U.S. Coast Guard uncovered evidence that would contradict that finding? Some investigators are even suggesting that Kennedy's plane was sabotaged. What really happened that fateful night? Conflicting evidence surrounding the circumstances of the crash has cast doubt on the official conclusion that Kennedy's death was an accident.

They tipped of killers so they could flee before being arrested. They interfered with local investigations of drug dealing and arms smuggling. We had a bunch of criminals running around killing people under virtual FBI protection. The FBI let innocent men die in prison.

The Shanghai Star quotes the Beijing Times as saying they appeared on Monday evening for around an hour. However, the Beijing Planetarium says it has not been proved that UFOs exist. Lan Songzhu, engineer of Xinglong Observation Station of Beijing Astronomical Observatory, says there have been more than 10,000 recorded UFO sightings in the last 100 years.

Charles Haffey is a Vietnam vet who had a nervous breakdown while in southeast Asia in 1968. He said that if the name "god'' is taken, he'll settle for the name "god on earth.'' Haffey said that his former self died in Vietnam in 1968. He said that he has tried to bring himself back with drink, drugs, sex or about anything you can name, but nothing has worked. The judge notes Haffey suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and is taking psychotropic medications. The decision on the name change is expected next week, after Circuit Judge Vernon Douglas researches some things. Haffey has served brief jail time in Nassau County for having a standoff with police in 1999. But he said that's all behind him now.

As the effectiveness of our reporting on the attacks of Sept. 11th becomes a threat to the Bush Administration and its allies both seen and unseen - we expect these personal attacks to increase. Therefore, I have decided to release all of the LAPD records in my possession as a means of full disclosure. It is my belief that by putting these questions to rest, dedicated activists, researchers and journalists may continue to focus their energy and attention on the growing body of evidence that is daily strengthening the case that the Bush Administration had complete foreknowledge of the attacks and did nothing to stop them. There is no shame anywhere in my LAPD records from the day I started as an intern in Oct. 1969, until the day that I resigned on Nov. 30, 1978. I am proud of my LAPD record. The full set of records is available for viewing, download and/or printing at http://www.fromthewilderness.com/mcr_lapd.html. Judge for yourself. Michael C.

Cnn just showed a live report from Germany showing the school shooting that just happened and stated that only one gunman had been found dead, and that they thought the other was still held up inside the school... THEN they show 2 young men sitting on a park bench across from the school, they get up and start to walk away and one hands the other a GUN! Not one word was said about this by the talking heads!

[CTRL] Who is behind the hoods?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.davidicke.com/icke/temp/summitviolence.html This letter is from Stefano Agnoletto, the brother of Vittorio, spokesperson for the Genoa Social Forum. Dear friends Now, I was in Genoa, I've seen it. Don't believe the news you've seen in the press and on TV It was something insane, a massacre. It is still difficult to tell you what happened between friday and saturday. To do so, I'll use what I've seen together with my dear friends who were present in Genoa with me. I ask you to have the patience to read this message, it really is the chronicle of a nightmare which probably will not reach the mainstream media. I arrive to Genoa on thursday, after an immigrant's rights demonstration of about 50,000 people. There are arrival camps, many, thousands of peaceful people, a marvellous atmosphere (remember the boy scouts?), we discussed, sang and just stayed together. Clergy, activists, volunteers and just normal people, on friday we begin the issue areas in a blockaed city: The various groups partecipating will converge in different points of the city to have a carnivalesque siege against the red area [The place, in Genoa, where the G8 was held and demonstrations were not permitted] with street theatre, dancing and slogans. At this point, from the beach-front members of the now infamous Black Block [supposedly extremist groups blamed for most of the destruction in the city] arrive. Some are seen chatting with police, others just come out of police crowds. Most of them speak German. They start to break everything. Police and Carabinieri [the Italian military police] just stand there. The black block tries to join in with a group of COBAS workers [COBAS is the new Italian Trade union unaffiliated with party politics]. They beat up one of their leaders, the group manages to stay clear of them with some difficoulty. Then the Black Block makes head for the first issue area, belonging to the Italian Social Centers (Centri Sociali. Difficult to translate exactly, call them Community organizations). They arrive armed to the teeth. The police goes after them, and demonstrators find themselves attacked first by the black block and then by the police, which starts to charge violently against all demonstrators. The black block leaves suddenly and appears on the square were the Lilliput network is based (Fair trade, catholic campaign groups ecc). Its members try to peacefully make them leave. The police follows and charges against everyone on the square. Truncheons and tear gas are used indiscriminately. People raise their hands, shout Peace. The black block leaves the square and starts to vandalize the city sistematically. 300-400 of the Black Block roam Genoa, and whoever guides them seems to know the city very well. Their path crosses every issue area, where the campaigns of our movement are located. It's incredible. They move with military discipline, infiltrate everywhere, some leaders shout orders which are promptly followed by the whole group. And, shortly afterwards, police and Carabinieri make their appearance. Meanwhile, in the issue area where ARCI, ATTAC etc. (mainstream Italian 3rd-world campaigning organizations) are located everything is fine. During the early afternoon we decide to leave the boundary with the red zone were we were demonstrating. People start moving towards Dante square. Suddenly, police launches tear-gas from behind our march, causing panic everywhere. Hospitals fill with wounded demonstrators, but many do not go to hospital since police seems to arrest everyone who turns up there. Its evening, people are downbeat, many are angry. Suddenly, no trace of the Black block. At the old city, where the camp of the Genoa social forum is, there's about 10,000 of us. The news of the dead demonstrator reaches us. We are scared, tales of extreme police brutality are told by many people. Young men, nuns start crying. Many people are hurt. One old man is crying with a bandage on his head. He is a retired metal worker. There is Don Gallo, of the San Benedetto (catholic) community group. There is the leader of the mothers of Plaza De Mayo, in Argentina, those women who for years have been looking for their disappeared children: She says she is shaken at what she has seen, it's uncomfortably close to Argentina during the dictatorship. She did not think something similar would happen here. My brother Vittorio (Spokesman for the Genoa Social Forum), Luca Cesarini (leader of the Social Centers) and Bertinotti, the only politician with the courage to come here (the leader of the Italian refounded communist party, sort of the equivalent of Nader in Italian politics) try to calm everyone: They tell us not to come out in small groups, not to accept violent provocations. We decide our answer will be the enormous demonstration the next day, there'll be many of us, peacefully responding to any provocation, whether from the black block or the police. Senator Malabarba

[CTRL] Advice on Current Events
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.sierratimes.com/02/04/26/arjj042602.htm }}}Begin A Real American Terrorism Threat Warning From Real Americans Inside the FBI Published 04. 26. 02 at 0:54 Sierra Time We figured it was time that someone in the government was honest with you. After the last warning that terrorists may attack shopping centers and supermarkets, a few of us decided that enough of you were accusing us of boy that cried wolf syndrome, and before you quit listening to us altogether, someone had better come clean. And since some of us FBI agents are Real Americans too, were probably the best qualified to explain this war on terrorism in real terms. First about those threat warnings. Its that top Al-Qaida guy (Abu Zubaydah) we got our hands on. With everything going across the wires, some of you may have forgotten what happen when he was apprehended. To put it nicely, he lost part of his manhood. And since were not big on field surgery, we made a deal with him. When we get answers, he gets pain killers. So you can imagine this guy will say anything that to make Tom Ridges job meaningful even for a day. Its also job security for us. Lets face it: When did the protocol change that we actually tell you where were getting such information? In most cases, either everyone would know this guy is lying, or were lying to the public about what were doing and the information were getting. Give out sources? Get real. Sorry, your Congressional representatives gave us a lot more power than we had on September 10, but there was nothing in the bill about us telling the truth. And since September 11, everyones anxiety level has been pegged to the max almost to the point where you get comfortable in your paranoia. Thats where we come in. It is our constitutional duty to knock you out of that comfort zone as much as possible with every hair-brained threat we can think of, and have you urinating down your leg until you beg and plead for us to take care of you. At least thats what we were told. Your job is to pay taxes and listen to us. Dont bother asking why untold billions being spent for homeland security has only produced a color-coded alert system. Weve been wondering the same thing ourselves. Sure, while those guys over at the Pentagon and the White House keep hi-five-ing each other over dropping bombs on starving Afghans and how were winning the war, you get to live with more fear than former Taliban officers. Well tell you at least once a week why you should be afraid to walk out your door, when the fact is we dont have a clue of whats really out there. But it keeps you off our butts. Heres the best way we explain the terrorism threat to Americans out there: YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN Thats right these terrorists can strike anywhere and anytime. Supermarkets, shopping malls, movie theaters, sporting events, churches, schools, you name it. Cmon this is America, a target rich environment, and we've damn near surrendered our southern border to Mexico. Of course, you can also die in a car accident, choke on a chicken bone, or drown in your own bathtub. You get the drift. Our crimes stats tell us that virtually every human being thats born eventually dies. When your number is called, your ticket is gonna get punched, and thats all there is to it. Yeah, youre gonna hear us pedal story after story about how high-tech these terrorists are, when all they used last time were box cutters. Next time, it might be something as simple as attacking the power grid with bolt cutters, or starting brush fires with cigarettes. Yes, we Real Americans at the FBI already figured these stupid threats were doing nothing than giving any real bad guys fresh ideas. Were just doing our job. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN What in the heck made you start trusting us after September 11, anyway? Not one terrorist warning we gave you so far has panned out, and whenever something DID happen, do you remember getting a prior warning from us? Of course not! Hey, its not our job to have a clue whats going on out here. Its our job to make you think we do. Fact is, the last 7 hostile action attempts against aircraft since 911 (and 3 buses) were all stopped by folks like you. Youre depending on us? Look, we've got a total of about 50,000 civilians in arms, and about 300,000 Middle-East folks roaming around the countryside that we cant find. In fact, we could use a little help. This is your government, you know. While all this is going on, we heard a rumor that Ashcroft company are considering draining more manpower off here by starting an FBI Pedophile Priest Hotline. Oh, dont you feel safer? YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN Like we dont have enough on our plates already. Some of you folks are fussing over that Patriot Act. How would you like to sit in here and listen to all these phone calls and read all of your stupid e-mail? What has happened to make you think our number one job isnt covering our own asses out

[CTRL] Newswatch Magazine Editorial (Some religious BS and alot of truths)
http://www.newswatchmagazine.org/weekly_editor/index.htm Jesus truly knew that Satan is the "father" of lies (John 8:44). That verse also says he was a murderer. Satan deceived 1/3rd of the angels to follow him in his rebellion;, therefore, causing them to ultimately be destroyed in the Lake of Fire (Matt.25:41). God the Father and Jesus have allowed him to have dominion over the governments of this world today (Luke 4:5-6). That's why the Bible refers to the Gospel - meaning the "good news" of the coming Kingdom of God to replace the Kingdom of Satan. Satan knows his time is coming to an end, so he is struggling to establish his final government to enslave the whole world. It is called the United Nations. The United States has the greatest government that has been devised without the Kingdom of God actually ruling. Satan knows he MUST destroy the Constitution and Bill of Rights that this nation stands upon. By Satan's system of Treaties and arrangements with member governments, it will rob us of our understood God given rights. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS LOST SOURCE *Two witnesses required to convict Art.III,Para 2 a person of treason. *No punishment of families of person Art.III, Para 3 convicted of treason. *No established government religion Amendment 1 *People's right to form citizen militias Amendment 2 *Individual right to keep and bear arms Amendment 2 *Government cannot put troops in Amendment 3 people's homes and businesses in peacetime. *To get an arrest or search warrant Amendment 4 from a judge, the police must have a good reason and testimony given under oath.

The United Nations has an assault in progress to confiscate all weapons in the world that private citizens own. This would destroy the Second Amendment to the Constitution. THE FACT IS, the United Nations, IS ALREADY SEIZING GUNS - along with her partners! Some of the free world nations, such as England, Canada, Australia and Japan have already begun or completed gun confiscation. African and western nations, including the United States, agreed to endorse gun control in Africa. The U.N. also has pressured Albania to conduct a turn-in program (Chicago Tribune, April 5, 1998). They usually begin by offering to give money to tempt gun owners to turn in their weapons. This is only the first step! Step two: In any weapons collection program, registration is needed. Step three: Registration is a step toward REGULATION and monitoring of civilian's possession of certain weapons. Step four: Once registration and regulation is finished, it is only a matter of DURATION, how much time before all guns are confiscated. Step five: After a fixed time limit or deadline has been reached to turn in guns that have now been declared illegal, PUNISHMENT and prosecution shall begin until the whole population is living in fear and submit. Those working to disarm the world have stated: "…use the carrot first and the stick later." "…the authorities will, in almost all cases, need to actively prosecute and punish those who, having failed to seize the opportunity to hand in illegal weapons, continue to break the laws regulating the possession of arms." The government is setting the stage by announcing that militias may create trouble. East Timor was used as an example of militias when in reality it was the CIA destablizing that government. Will the CIA do the same in the U.S. and blame the militia? Beware of the New World Order. Sincerely, David J. Smith Attention Newswatch

Teenagers 'used for sex by UN in Bosnia'
By Stewart Payne
(Filed: 25/04/2002)
A HUMAN rights investigator who claims she was sacked for exposing the sexual
abuse of Bosnian women by her United Nations colleagues, told a tribunal yesterday
that girls as young as 15 were offered for sex.
Kathryn Bolkovac, 41, said women were forced to dance naked in Bosnian bars
frequented by UN police officers.
Mrs Bolkovac is using a British employment tribunal to bring her case of unfair
dismissal from an American recruitment agency which has an office in the UK.
The former American policewoman claims she was sacked because she sent an
email to Jacques Paul Klein, the chief of UN mission in Bosnia-Hercegovina, which
highlighted the sexual exploitation of women by those who had been sent to protect
them from the sex trade.
Details of the email, sent in October 2000, were given to the tribunal at Southampton,
Hants, yesterday.
In it, Mrs Bolkovac, a mother of three from Lincoln, Nebraska, claims that bars were
frequented by UN police officers and other humanitarian workers who availed
themselves of women forced into prostitution.
The tribunal has heard that her employer, the US- based agency DynCorp, which is
registered with the State Department to provide American police officers to work on
humanitarian and peacekeeping duties, admits that there was a problem with officers
using prostitutes and that one was sacked for paying for a woman to live with him to
provide sexual services.
But the company, which has an office in Salisbury, Wilts, denies that it sacked Mrs
Bolkovac for exposing the abuse and said that she was dismissed for time-sheet
irregularities.
In her email, Mrs Bolkovac said that women and girls were handed over to bar
owners and told to perform sex acts to pay for their costumes.
The women who refused were locked in rooms and withheld food and outside
contact for days or weeks. After this time they are told to dance naked on table tops
and sit with clients.
If the women still refuse to perform sex acts with the customers they are beaten and
raped in the rooms by the bar owners and their associates. They are told if they go to
the police they will be arrested for prostitution and being an illegal immigrant.
The tribunal has heard that after sending the e-mail Mrs Bolkovac, who was
investigating human trafficking and forced prostitution, was demoted and removed
from front-line policing.
In April 2001, she was sacked for allegedly falsifying her time sheets, which she
denies.
Giving evidence to the tribunal, Mrs Bolkovac said she had discovered extensive
use of brothels by UN police and other peacekeepers.
She said she also found that international staff were helping local police to sell
women for the sex trade and she feared this was being covered up.
The victims of trafficking were reporting extensive use of the brothels and other
criminal acts by the international community and international police task force, she
said.
She claimed that Mike Stiers, the international police task force's deputy
commissioner, had flippantly dismissed victims of human trafficking as just
prostitutes.
This attitude led many members of the peacekeeping mission to believe it was
acceptable to use sex slaves and go to brothels, she said.
Spencer Wickham, the head of DynCorp, has told the tribunal he sacked three police
officers for using prostitutes.
The tribunal is taking place in Britain because DynCorp contracts state they are
governed by UK employment law.
DynCorp's Bosnia site manager, Pascal Budge, said that after Mrs Bolkovac's email
was sent, he circulated a memo warning officers they would be sent home if caught
using prostitutes.
But Mrs Bolkovac called an investigation by DynCorp into her allegations
inadequate.
The tribunal continues.

[CTRL] Rep. Ron Paul:Predictions
http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul29.html Predictions by Congressman Ron Paul, MD Our government intervention in the economy and in the private affairs of citizens, and the internal affairs of foreign countries, leads to uncertainty and many unintended consequences. Here are some of the consequences about which we should be concerned. I predict U.S. taxpayers will pay to rebuild Palestine, both the West Bank and the Gaza, as well as Afghanistan. U.S. taxpayers paid to bomb these areas, so we will be expected to rebuild them. Peace, of sorts, will come to the Middle East, but will be short-lived. There will be big promises of more U.S. money and weapons flowing to Israel and to Arab countries allied with the United States. U.S. troops and others will be used to monitor the "peace." In time, an oil boycott will be imposed, with oil prices soaring to historic highs. Current Israeli-United States policies will solidify Arab Muslim nations in their efforts to avenge the humiliation of the Palestinians. That will include those Muslim nations that in the past have fought against each other. Some of our moderate Arab allies will be overthrown by Islamic fundamentalists. The U.N. will continue to condemn, through resolutions, Israeli-U.S. policies in the Middle East, and they will be ignored. Some European countries will clandestinely support the Muslim countries and their anti-Israel pursuits. China, ironically assisted by American aid, much more openly will sell to militant Muslims the weapons they want, and will align herself with the Arab nations. The United States, with Tony Blair as head cheerleader, will attack Iraq without proper authority, and a major war, the largest since World War II, will result. Major moves will be made by China, India, Russia, and Pakistan in Central Asia to take advantage of the chaos for the purpose of grabbing land, resources, and strategic advantages sought after for years. The Karzai government will fail, and U.S. military presence will end in Afghanistan. An international dollar crisis will dramatically boost interest rates in the United States. Price inflation, with a major economic downturn, will decimate U.S. Federal Government finances, with exploding deficits and uncontrolled spending. Federal Reserve policy will continue at an expanding rate, with massive credit expansion, which will make the dollar crisis worse. Gold will be seen as an alternative to paper money as it returns to its historic role as money. Erosion of civil liberties here at home will continue as our government responds to political fear in dealing with the terrorist threat by making generous use of the powers obtained with the Patriot Act. The draft will be reinstated, causing domestic turmoil and resentment. Many American military personnel and civilians will be killed in the coming conflict. The leaders of whichever side loses the war will be hauled into and tried before the International Criminal Court for war crimes. The United States will not officially lose the war, but neither will we win. Our military and political leaders will not be tried by the International Criminal Court. The Congress and the President will shift radically toward expanding the size and scope of the Federal Government. This will satisfy both the liberals and the conservatives. Military and police powers will grow, satisfying the conservatives. The welfare state, both domestic and international, will expand, satisfying the liberals. Both sides will endorse military adventurism overseas. This is the most important of my predictions: Policy changes could prevent all of the previous predictions from occurring. Unfortunately, that will not occur. In due course, the Constitution will continue to be steadily undermined and the American Republic further weakened. During the next decade, the American people will become poorer and less free, while they become more dependent on the government for economic security. The war will prove to be divisive, with emotions and hatred growing between the various factions and special interests that drive our policies in the Middle East. Agitation from more class warfare will succeed in dividing us domestically, and believe it or not, I expect lobbyists will thrive more than ever during the dangerous period of chaos. e no timetable for these predictions, but just in case, keep them around and look at them in 5 to 10 years. Let us hope and pray that I am wrong on all accounts. If so, I will be very pleased. April 26, 2002

Flare-up after Le Pen marches into Brussels
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Brussels
(Filed: 25/04/2002)
JEAN-MARIE Le Pen ventured into the lair of his sworn enemies in
Brussels yesterday and accused the European Union of slavishly
following American policy in the Middle East.
Ignoring cries of racist and Nazi by Euro-MPs holding up Non
signs, the French National Front leader and presidential
challenger told the European Parliament that recent horrors in the
cradle of Jesus were an insult to God.

[CTRL] Rarey:Homeland Health An Unhealthy Alliance?
http://www.strike-the-root.com/columns/Rarey/rarey1.html Homeland Health – An Unhealthy Alliance? by Jim Rarey First it was Homeland Defense, with a director appointed by the President to pull all of the government agencies together to protect the country against terrorism. Other than issuing occasional warnings of impending terrorist acts based on unknown sources, little has been done in the public view. For that matter, even the Congress is in the dark, as the President refuses to let Homeland Defense Director Ridge talk to them. Now comes a new "cooperative" effort to provide protection against "bio-terrorism." But this one is quite different from Homeland Defense. It is a merging of government and the "private sector." Announced quietly without fanfare (the reader will soon understand why), the first notice was the appearance of a new website appropriately named HomelandHealth.com. The website explains that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has joined with the pharmaceutical industry to develop defenses against biological threats. Aside from the involvement of for-profit companies in the effort, another major difference from Homeland Defense is that the man in charge is not a part of the government. The nominal head of the industry’s effort comes through its trade association Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). However, PhRMA’s president Alan F. Holmer announced that Dr. Michael Friedman would be the association’s Chief Medical Officer for Biomedical Preparedness and lead the initiative. Friedman will interface with a number of government agencies, including HHS, The Dept. of Defense, the FDA, NIH, and the CDC, and oh yes, Homeland Security. Holmer did not say whether Friedman would be making use of the association’s lone consultant (as listed on its webpage) Arthur Andersen, LLP. Friedman himself is a 30-year veteran of government service in public health. He was a leader in the FDA, and at one time, its acting commissioner. Friedman was the FDA official who gave the Department of Defense the go ahead to use the anthrax vaccine in the Gulf war even though the FDA had not found it to be safe or effective against inhalation anthrax. But Friedman is no longer in government. He is currently a senior vice president of the pharmaceutical giant Pharmacia Corporation, from which he will be drawing his paycheck (and bonuses and stock options?). Many, including this writer, would predict that the recommendations and agenda of Pharmacia might carry more weight with Friedman than those from the others. So what is Pharmacia, and who runs it? In April 2000, three well-known companies combined to form the Pharmacia Corporation: Pharmacia and Upjohn Laboratories, which acquired Monsanto (chemical) Company. The combined companies have a pipeline of new drugs, a $2 billion research and development budget and a leading sales force in the U.S. market. Additionally, with the acquisition of Monsanto’s agriculture division, about 90% of the world’s genetically engineered foods will contain a Pharmacia (Monsanto) gene. The current Chairman of the Board and CEO of Pharmacia is a Pakistani named Fred Hassan. Hassan was President of Pharmacia-Upjohn at the time of the merger with Monsanto, and moved into his current position after Monsanto’s CEO had served an interim 18-month period as head of the combined companies. There are a couple of well-known names on the Pharmacia Board of Directors, and one whose name has only recently come into the public consciousness. William Ruckelshaus is a Harvard-trained lawyer who came out of the Justice Department to become the first administrator of the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970. He served another three-year term as EPA administrator during the Reagan administration. Ruckelshaus is currently a principal in the Madrona Investment Group. Michael (Mickey) Kantor is a close confidante of Bill Clinton and served in his administration first as the United States Trade Representative (USTR). Kantor took over as Commerce Secretary following the controversial death of Ron Brown. Kantor was one of the point men involved in blunting some of the Clinton personal scandals, including the Kathleen Willey affair. Dr. Philip Leder, although a virtual unknown outside of medical circles, has impressive credentials. He is Chairman of the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and a Senior Investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). He was a contemporary of Dr. Don C. Wiley at Harvard. Wiley, who had made a breakthrough in genetic research, died in a mysterious plunge from a bridge in Memphis, Tennessee that was ruled an accidental death. Wiley also was funded as an investigator by HHMI. Perhaps the most controversial member of Pharmacia’s board is Frank Carlucci. Carlucci is Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Carlyle Group, which describes itself as a "merchant bank." However, its portfolio ranks
[CTRL] The End Of America's Prestige
http://reese.king-online.com/Reese_20020424/index.php The End Of America's Prestige Charley Reese A friend of mine once told a college class that nobody ever woke up in 476 A.D. (the date historians define as the fall of the Roman Empire) and said, "Gosh, I'm in the Dark Ages." His point is plain enough. Transitions happen gradually, and the people who live through them never realize what is happening. So it is with Americans. We are living in the ruins of a once-great republic. Now an empire utterly devoid of moral authority, the United States has nothing left but its military power and its capacity to consume on credit. Where the world's great leaders will come from in the future, I don't know, but they will not be Americans. Look at the Republican and Democratic parties and their top leaders. Mediocrity in full bloom. Weak men with ambition but no principles. They are devious men, skilled at concealing their personal ambition in patriotic or compassionate rhetoric, depending on which constituency they are trying to bamboozle at the moment. I said earlier that Colin Powell's trip to the Middle East would answer the question of who determines American foreign policy: America's elected leaders, or Israel and its powerful American lobby. The answer is Israel. Powell has disgraced himself. He did the ritual moaning and groaning about six Israelis killed by a suicide bomber but said nothing about the hundreds of innocent Palestinians killed by the Israelis. As of this writing, he has not even bothered to tour the devastated cities. He has not gone to Bethlehem to see the gratuitous and malicious damage to the civilian infrastructure. He has not gone to Jenin to smell the decomposing bodies buried under the rubble. He has not uttered a single word of public criticism of Israel, while Amnesty International, the United Nations Human Rights Commission and even Israeli human-rights groups have leveled blistering criticism at Israel's beastly policy and actions. Instead, he acted as Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's errand boy by hopping over to Lebanon and Syria to ask them to restrain Hezbollah. I wish I could have been Lebanon's president long enough to tell him off. I would have said to Powell: "Where were you and the United States when for more than 20 years Israel illegally occupied Lebanese territory in open defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions? You never said one word; you never lifted one finger to force the Israelis out. And now, you have the gall to demand of me that I chastise Hezbollah, whose brave young men did what you should have done — drove the Israelis out of Lebanon. If you cannot see the hypocrisy in your visit and in your request, then I truly pity you. Good day, sir." The Syrian president should have told him the same thing, for the United States has never done one thing to persuade the Israelis to stop their illegal occupation of the Golan Heights. Robert Fisk, the great correspondent of The Independent in London, wrote recently: "Mr. Powell's weakness, his failure of nerve, his cowardice are now likely to set off an Israeli-Palestinian war even more terrible than what we have witnessed so far. ... Thanks to Mr. Powell, President Bush and Mr. Sharon, America's credibility has been shattered. Israel, it turns out, does indeed run U.S. policy in the region. The Secretary of State sings from the Israeli songbook." The repercussions of this will be unpleasant for the American people. One day, God willing, the American people will wake up and realize what a painful price has been exacted for allowing their politicians to sell their souls to the Israeli lobby. I have to give the Israeli lobby credit. They recognized the souls weren't worth much and bought them on the cheap. We had a president once who vowed to make the world safe for democracy. We now have one who is busily making the world unsafe for Americans and who doesn't have a clue as to how ridiculous he now appears in the eyes of the world.
[CTRL] Must Read: Eurosnots
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.nationalpost.com/ Maybe he just loathes Arabs even more than Jews (which, for linguistic pedants, would make him technically a perfect anti-Semite). This guy has the key!!! }}}Begin April 25, 2002 The Eurosnots learn nothing Mark Steyn National Post On Sunday, Jean-Marie Le Pen, the alleged extreme right-wing madman, managed to place second in the first round of the French Presidential election. Since then, many Europhile commentators in the English- speaking world have been attempting to reassure us that the significance of this event has been much overplayed -- Le Pen only got a little more than he usually gets, pure fluke he came second, nothing to see here, move along. The best response to this line of thinking was by the shrewd Internet commentatrix Megan McArdle: They're completely missing the point, which is that it's hilarious. Absolutely. You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be weeping with laughter at the scenes of France's snot-nosed political elite huffily denouncing Sunday's result as an insult to the honour of the Republic. I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago and I well remember the retired French diplomat who assured me that a man like George W. Bush is simply not possible in our politics. For a creature of such crude, simplistic and extreme views to be one of the two principal candidates in a presidential election would be inconceivable here. Inconceivable! Please, no giggling. Somehow events have so arranged themselves that French electors now face a choice, as the papers see it, between la droite et l'extrême droite. The French people have taken to the streets in angry protests against ... the French people! Which must be a relief to the operators of McDonald's franchises, British lorry drivers and other more traditional targets of their ire, but is still a little weird. Meanwhile, the only thing that stands between M. Le Pen and the Elysée Palace, President Chirac, has declared himself the representative of the soul of the Republic. In the sense that he's a shifty dissembler with a long history of financial scandal and no political principles, he may be on to something. While M. Chirac has cast himself as the defender of France, M. Le Pen is apparently the defender of the Jews. While I was over there, he was the only candidate who was seriously affronted by the epidemic of anti- Jew assaults by French Muslims. The Eurosnots told me this was cynical, given that M. Le Pen is notoriously anti-Jew and not above doing oven jokes in public. But that doesn't necessarily make him cynical. Maybe he just loathes Arabs even more than Jews (which, for linguistic pedants, would make him technically a perfect anti-Semite). Maybe he just resents the Muslims muscling in on his turf: We strongly object to the Arab attacks on the Jews. That's our job. But, given that Chirac and Jospin brushed off the Jew-bashing epidemic like a speck of dust on their elegant suits, Le Pen's ability to co-opt it into his general tough-on-crime/tough-on-immigrants approach showed at the least a certain political savvy. Still, despite the racism and bigotry, I resent the characterization of M. Le Pen as extreme right. I'm an extreme right-wing madman myself, and it takes one to know one. M. Le Pen is an economic protectionist in favour of the minimum wage, lavish subsidies for France's incompetent industries and inefficient agriculture; he's anti- American and fiercely opposed to globalization. In other words, he's got far more in common with Naomi Klein than with me. He would fit right in as a guest host on the CBC's CounterSpin. Even the antipathy toward Jews is more of a left-wing thing these days -- see the EU, UN, Svend and Mary Robinson, etc. Insofar as anyone speaks up for Jews in the West, it's only a few right-wing columnists, Newt Gingrich, Christian conservatives and Mrs. Thatcher -- or, as a reader e-mailed the other day, all you Hebraic assholes on the right. M. Le Pen is a nationalist and a socialist -- or, if you prefer, a nationalist socialist. Hmm. A bit long but, if you lost a syllable, you might be in business. But terms like left and right are irrelevant in French politics. In an advanced technocratic state, where almost any issue worth talking about has been ruled beyond the scope of partisan politics, you might as well throw away the compass. The presidential election was meant to be a contest between the supposedly conservative Chirac and his supposedly socialist Prime Minister, Lionel Jospin. In practice, this boils down to a candidate who's left of right of left of centre, and a candidate who's right of left of right of left of centre. Chirac and Jospin ran on identical platforms -- they're both in favour of high taxes, high unemployment and high crime. So, with no significant policy differences between them, the two candidates were relying on their personal appeal, which, given that one's a fraud and the other's a dullard, was asking

First paying 'Afronaut' blasts off
Impact compared to Mandela inauguration
By KAREN MACGREGOR
Special to the Globe and Mail, with reports from AP and AFP
Friday, April 26, 2002 Print Edition, Page A1
DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA -- Thrilled South Africans watched billionaire Mark
Shuttleworth blast his way into the heavens and history yesterday, as the first African
in space and the world's second space tourist.
The 28-year-old Internet magnate, who as a boy built rockets that never went very
far and would rather be called amateur astronaut than space tourist, spent $20-
million (U.S.) to take part in a 10-day mission from Russia's Baikonur cosmodrome in
Kazakhstan to the International Space Station.
In schools, homes and businesses across South Africa, people gathered to watch
the live televised launch of the 6.4-tonne Soyuz rocket, bearing the image of the
South African flag.
In less than 10 minutes, Russian flight controllers announced that Mr. Shuttleworth
and crew mates Yuri Gidzenko and Roberto Vittori, an Italian pilot, were safely in
orbit and chasing the ISS for a docking Saturday morning.
They will join three resident astronauts there.
Before blastoff, Mr. Shuttleworth smiled at his two colleagues and said in Russian:
I'm not nervous. I'm ready.
Members of his family were at the launch, collapsing into a tearful group hug as the
rocket took off. It is the most amazing thing that you can ever witness, his brother
Grant, 27, said. We are so proud of him.
Newspapers across South Africa heralded Mr. Shuttleworth's mission with front-page
stories and banner headlines such as Space-bound: Africa's 1st spaceman on the
brink of history and Journey to fulfil a dream.
One Johannesburg radio talk-show host compared the impact on the country to that
of Nelson Mandela's inauguration as president 1994. Callers to the show -- men and
women, black and white, young and old -- called Afronaut Shuttleworth a hero.
One woman said she had lit a candle for Mr. Shuttleworth's safety and would keep it
burning until his return.
Mark is a courageous pioneer for South Africa and his continent, Africa, South
African President Thabo Mbeki said, calling him an inspiration to the youth and
people of our country.
Mr. Shuttleworth was working on a business degree at the University of Cape Town
when he set up an Internet security company. Working from his garage, he
developed business passports, which secure people's credit card details when they
buy on the Web.
He sold his company, Thawte Consulting, to an American competitor, Verisign, for
$500- million (U.S.).
A billionaire by his mid-20s, Mr. Shuttleworth now has a venture capital company that
he says focuses on innovative technology. Wealth itself is of little meaning to me,
he said. He handed out more than $100,000 U.S. to each of his 58 employees after
selling Thawte. There is very little you can give Mark; he's not a very materialistic
person, said Grant, who wrote a song for his brother called Dreams.
Mr. Shuttleworth describes himself as just an ordinary guy (though he believes in
aliens), but he takes his dreams seriously. He spent more than seven months
training at Russia's Star City space centre to follow American businessman Dennis
Tito into space.
He also spent a week at NASA in Houston and received instruction from South
African scientists to conduct experiments in space. While in orbit, he will do research
on stem cells aimed at obtaining better understanding of the HIV virus, and on
protein crystallization and cardiology.
Mr. Shuttleworth, who launched a Hip to be square (Hip2b2) campaign for
schoolchildren to encourage interest in science and mathematics, will also talk to
students over a radio link from the ISS, and to Mr. Mbeki and former president
Mandela in live broadcasts.
South Africa is proud of its modest work in space, which includes a research satellite,
radar probes into deep space to monitor galactic weather, and world-renowned
observatories.
The Shuttleworth mission is expected to awaken more interest in space exploration
and scientific research.
I don't expect my flight to produce a generation of astronauts and cosmonauts back
home, Mr. Shuttleworth said, but I hope it will encourage people to pursue their
dreams.

[CTRL] US politics vs. Middle East reality
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.middleeastwire.com:8080/storypage.jsp?id=5112 }}}Begin US politics vs. Middle East reality publisher: Jordan Times (Amman) By: James J. Zogby Posted: 2002-04-23 After president George W. Bush proclaimed Ariel Sharon a man of peace and praised his withdrawal from the West Bank, I was inundated by questions from US reporters. Many were indignant, others were just confused. What, they asked, was he doing? On April 4, Bush, despite his extra criticism of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, appeared to be fair in calling for an immediate Israeli withdrawal. He was, he said, dispatching Secretary of State Colin Powell with messages for both Sharon and Arafat. And, the president concluded, I expect results. Powell's trip ended without results. Israel's marauding army continues to lay waste to areas of the West Bank. War crimes have been committed and the brutal siege of several cities and towns remains in place. Despite this obvious failure, the president inexplicably proclaimed victory, thanking Sharon for his cooperation while focusing his criticism on Arafat. All over the world, and here in the US, people were baffled by the all too obvious disconnect between reality and Bush's observations. What happened? Bush blinked. In the face of political pressure coming from within his own party, the president backed away from his April 4 insistence on an immediate Israeli withdrawal. It was not the insubstantial Jewish-led pro-Israel rally that pressured Bush, it was the substantial criticism he was receiving from his neo- conservative and religious right-wing Republican supporters. In fact, it might be said that the position of the White House began to turn after Republican senators invited former Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu to address the Senate. Netanyahu used the opportunity to implicitly criticise the Powell mission. Imagine, US senators inviting a foreign personality to undercut their own president and secretary of state, who was at that very moment in the midst of his mission to the Middle East. This pressure was amplified in television and newspaper commentaries and in letters from senators to the president. Slowly, the White House began to alter its language and course. Suicide bombers became homicide bombers and immediate withdrawal became progress in the days to come. By the end of the Powell mission, the political shift was complete. Although Powell's last press statement in the Middle East contained some of the April 4 rhetoric, just an hour later, the president, speaking in Virginia, appeared to be moving away from this position. All in an effort to silence his domestic critics. But this rather transparent effort to call black white and white black will not fare well. First and foremost because US reporters, especially those who accompanied the secretary of state and those who have been covering the Israeli assault from the region, know what really occurred and they continue to ask tough questions. The US public is also apparently not impressed. Although the president still retains high overall ratings, he receives a 20 per cent lower score for his handling of the Middle East conflict. And while public sympathy, shaped by biased media coverage and negative stereotypes, remains with Israel, on policy issues the public is demanding balance. In fact, almost 75- 80 per cent of the public says that they want a US policy that applies pressure evenly and does not favour either side. In this context, it is worth noting an incident at last week's State Democratic Convention in Florida. Senator Joseph Lieberman, attempting to court favour with the crowd, exhorted the president to stand more firmly with Sharon and Israel. Press reports noted that Lieberman's comments were met with silence. It is also important to note that the internal struggle within the administration will not end. The State Department will continue to push for a more realistic approach to diplomacy. Just last week, after the president's comments, we conducted a briefing at the State Department based on our recent poll of Arab opinion towards US-Middle East policy. It is clear that whatever political pressure can do to alter policy, it can't alter reality and US diplomats know that. Especially in the next few weeks, when the destruction and horrors of Jenin and other sites in the West Bank become clearer and when international reaction grows, the US will be forced to deal with the reality of Israel's brutal aggression. US diplomats know this and they will continue to press the White House on these matters. It is also very clear that not only Arabs are upset with the lack of balance in US policy. A recent Pew Research poll of five European countries establishes that in France, Great Britain, Germany and Italy, public opinion is, by a significant margin, opposed to US policy. This is reflected in growing frustration in the European Union and the United

Call it a co-incidence but all of england [and maybe a few lackeys in scotland] will be 'celebrating' the Queens Golden Jubilee. [applications for party planning have been unashamedly low.] and the only real reason for street parties all over england would be to watch a victorious english soccer side beat the world. the royal yaucht titanic was to have been floated on a sea of lager and english football. and empty patriotism - alas the unthinkable happened, the ant and dec world cup song sounds like rhetoric already - and its just out - JUBILEE AND SOCCER WORLD CUP were to have merged into celebrations of glorious engerland, presided over by happy queen lizardbirth [who temporarily mixes with the vulgar herds to win back the lost - ] BAD NEWS BECKHAM AND NEVILLE two of englands key players who are part of the official song had the BAD LUCK to get their toes broken - and frankly without them - there is not going to be any reason to street party - because england may beat nigeria, but against sweden and argentina - the sixpacks will be staying in the fridge :) What with the Queen Mum checking out with variety performance imitations of the UKs most hip street comedian and all [ali G] - or so the news was 'leaked', the Queen lizard herself has been heard lately expressing grave concern about beckhams foot.

The game plan of all this spin is actually realistic and achievable or would have been but for beckhams injury. on the plus side for the monarchy - they made an indecent and lengthy 10 day theatre out of the queen mothers exit, but Beckhams injury is not to be underrated. this recent royal gamble on street cred is simply a ploy to get the sheeple celebrating the royal windsors - but if engerland get beat real bad in japan this summer - the whole nation will go into despondent mourning and media warfare for the next year and will probably pay no attention whatsoever to enhancing the reputation of the windsors. Other knock on effects to that is that Charles and Queen Camilla to be will not be for longer than they had hoped.

Shaw - Telegram Gazette Staff Hours after Bishop Daniel P. Reilly was subpoenaed to a state Department of Social Services hearing where he would have faced questions about sexual abuse by priests, the DSS canceled the hearing and dropped a yearlong inquiry into child neglect chargesIn 1999, the diocese paid Edward Gagne of Spencer $300,000 to settle a lawsuit in which he accused Rev. Inzerillo and another priest of sexual abuse. Rev. Inzerillo was placed on leave by the late Bishop Timothy J. Harrington shortly after the suit was filed several years ago. Mrs. Jean found out that her son's physician labeled her with Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy shortly after she first complained about Rev. Inzerillo. The physician in question, Dr. John McLaughlin, was also head of the St. Leo's school board at the time. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is a condition that many in the mental health profession believe is a serious mental disorder that can put children at risk of illness or death. People with the condition are generally caretakers who deliberately make a child ill to gain attention for themselves as a concerned and caring person. It also refers to people who are convinced that a child is more seriously ill than he or she really is. Mrs. Jean said the physician threatened her with a 51A, a report made to the state Department of Social Services indicating possible abuse or neglect of a child, and that he said it was his way of taking care of troublemakers at the school. http://www.telegram.com/news/page_one/dssdrop.html http://www.flybynews.com/cgi-local/newspro/viewnews.cgi?newsid1019753212,83873 ,m F L Y B Y N E W S - 4_25_02 Rep.

One in every six of our children live in poverty. Some of our nation's poor even sleep each night on the steps of the buildings just visible from the bedrooms of the White House. And sadly, many of those who sleep on America's streets are our veterans from US wars . . . Sadly, nor is ours a democratic society. In November 2000, the Republicans stole from America our most precious right of all: the right to free and fair elections. Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his Secretary of State Katherine Harris, created a phony list of convicted felons--57,700 to be exact--to scrub thousands of innocent people from the state's voter rolls. Of the thousands who ultimately lost their vote through this scrub of voters, 80% were African- American, mostly Democratic Party voters. Had they voted, the course of history would have changed. Instead, however, Harris declared Bush the victor by only 537 votes. Now President Bush occupies the White House, but with questionable legitimacy.

-Caveat Lector- this may be very heavy for survivors The Refugeed Camp, Jenin April 23, 2002: Impressions Bare Statistics: In the square kilometer that was the refugee camp, 30% of the buildings are rubble; 40% unlivable (source: mayor of Jenin). The 30% that is still 'livable' is not undamaged. The odor of dead bodies has dissipated. What remains are survivors with broken lives. On the path winding between rows of rubble lies a tiny mud-caked slipper; I pick it up, examine it, as if it could tell me where the wee foot of the one-year old or two-year old that wore it was? Is the toddler alive? Are its parents alive? Later, Tamar finds a small white pooh bear--its seams torn. The label stating made in Israel. Lewd! The country that produced a toy to be loved and hugged, coldly destroyed a child's dreams. From a back wall that still stands, a second-story floor is slantingly cantilevered; on it, a wheel chair sits grotesquely, unmoving, as if tied to the floor by some hidden wires. Did its user escape? How? carried on someone's back? How did the deaf who did not hear the order to get out, how did the blind who cannot see, how did the invalids and other helpless fare when the megaphone told them to move their butts or be leveled into rubble with their homes? Twisted metal everywhere, concrete slabs, rubble and more rubble. Shreds of a curtain blowing in the breeze from a glassless window-frame on a wall that 0nce was part of a house. On the ground a torn school bag. The back of a refrigerator humped above the rubble, it's front buried in the concrete debris. The scorched remains of a video set. Pieces of clothing here and there peeping from the rubble. A brightly colored scarf , a part of a blanket. Pieces of yellow foam rubber--once the stuffing of mattresses or furniture seats--lie scattered all about. Not big chunks. Not big enough to sit on or to lie on. The largest less than * a meter long. The foam rubber is especially profuse in the part of the camp that helicopters, we were told, bombed steadily 7 days and 7 nights. In the refugee camp there are no electric poles left--not even pieces of them. One refugee now refugeed for a second time related in dry tones, It took 50 years for me to build a life and home for my family; all destroyed in an instant. An old man sitting despondently on the pile of rubble that was once his home. An elderly woman carrying on her head a plastic bag with several meters of electric cord coiled in it. What for? Is she sane? Or has she perhaps lost her mind? Inhabitants of rubble--wander aimlessly among it silent, dry-eyed. Where do they sleep at night, those who have no family or friends in the town? Where do they cook, eat, shower, go to the toilet--do the simple every day things one takes for granted? Oh Sharon-Mofaz, and the rest of the government--in destroying lives how many terrorists have you created? The anger of the people whose lives you destroyed will not give you rest! They will revenge their misery--the misery you continuously force upon them, and, consequently, upon us, because all you know is force! One young mother wrapped up the whole of her misery and anger in a few horrific words quietly spoken, as if she were listing the ingredients of a recipe for a cake: I want to have many many children, she said, so they can blow themselves up and kill many Israelis! Yet there are also other voices. The mayor of Jenin received our small delegation gracefully. In explaining the anger of his people he said, The 13,000 inhabitants of the camp hopefully waited to receive support from the peace-loving world. But this terrible crime of Sharon and Mofaz extinguished the tiny flicker of light at the end of the tunnel. Nevertheless, he continued, it has not extinguished our desire to live in peace and security in a state of our own next to the state of Israel.

Kathryn Bolkovac, 41, said women were forced to dance naked in Bosnian bars frequented by UN police officers. Mrs Bolkovac is using a British employment tribunal to bring her case of unfair dismissal from an American recruitment agency which has an office in the UK . . . The tribunal has heard that her employer, the US-based agency DynCorp, which is registered with the State Department to provide American police officers to work on humanitarian and peacekeeping duties, admits that there was a problem with officers using prostitutes and that one was sacked for paying for a woman to live with him to provide sexual services. But the company, which has an office in Salisbury, Wilts, denies that it sacked Mrs Bolkovac for exposing the abuse and said that she was dismissed for time-sheet irregularities. In [an] email, Mrs Bolkovac said that women and girls were handed over to bar owners and told to perform sex acts to pay for their costumes. The women who refused were locked in rooms and withheld food and outside contact for days or weeks. After this time they are told to dance naked on table tops and sit with clients. If the women still refuse to perform sex acts with the customers they are beaten and raped in the rooms by the bar owners and their associates. They are told if they go to the police they will be arrested for prostitution and being an illegal immigrant. . . . Giving evidence to the tribunal, Mrs Bolkovac said she had discovered extensive use of brothels by UN police and other peacekeepers. She said she also found that international staff were helping local police to sell women for the sex trade and she feared this was being covered up. . . . Spencer Wickham, the head of DynCorp, has told the tribunal he sacked three police officers for using prostitutes. The tribunal is taking place in Britain because DynCorp contracts state they are governed by UK employment law. DynCorp's Bosnia site manager, Pascal Budge, said that after Mrs Bolkovac's email was sent, he circulated a memo warning officers they would be sent home if caught using prostitutes. But Mrs Bolkovac called an investigation by DynCorp into her allegations inadequate. http://www.dailytelegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;$sessionid$NTQ1EQYAABUM3QFIQ MGSFFOAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2002/04/25/wbos25.xmlsSheet=/news/2002/04/25/ixwo rld.html MIDDLE EAST ||| John Lancaster Washington Post - It was the second day of the battle for the Jenin refugee camp, and things were going badly for the Israelis.

[CTRL] Cops Can Hide Monitoring Devices On Peoples' Cars
http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/nevada/2002/apr/25/042510142.html Nevada Cops Can Hide Monitoring Devices On Peoples' Cars 4-25-2 CARSON CITY, Nev. - In a 5-2 decision, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled Thursday that police can hide electronic monitoring devices on peoples' cars - without a warrant and for as long as they want. The majority opinion, written by Justice Deborah Agosti, said that attaching the device to the bumper of a Las Vegas man's car to track his movements "did not constitute an unreasonable search or seizure under the Nevada Constitution." Frederick Osburn was sentenced in 2000 to up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to open or gross lewdness, possession of burglary tools and four counts of possession of child pornography. He appealed, arguing evidence against him should be barred because it was based, in part, on information police were able to gather from the electronic monitoring. Osburn said federal law may permit warrantless monitoring, but asked for a finding that the Nevada Constitution provides greater protection. The majority cited a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that there's "no reasonable expectation of privacy" when it involves the exterior of a car - especially in Osburn's case since the car was parked on a public street. Justices Bob Rose and Cliff Young dissented, with Rose writing that the majority ruling gives too much authority to police. "The police will be able to place a vehicle monitor on any vehicle, for any reason, and leave it there for as long as they want," Rose said. "There will be no requirement that the monitor be used only when probable cause - or even a reasonable suspicion - is shown, and there will be no time limit on how long the monitor will remain." He added that in some cases such devices "will be used to continually monitor individuals only because law enforcement considers them 'dirty.'" "In the future, innocent citizens, and perhaps elected officials or even a police officer's girlfriend or boyfriend, will have their whereabouts continually monitored simply because someone in law enforcement decided to take such action," Rose said. In Osburn's case, he had been placed under surveillance after police questioned him about a prowler call several weeks before his arrest. The surveillance increased the week before the arrest after Osburn was reported masturbating outside a home. After his arrest in September 1997, police searched his home and found child pornography. = (And please...who amongst us hasn't rubbed one out in the great outdoors? LMFAO) Bill.

-Caveat Lector- Just for your information, both McAfee with latest dat file, and Housecall (online scan) failed to detect three separate instances of this worm downloaded in my email directory. Even a scan of all files in the email directory failed to detect it. I think Norton Antivirus is much better. This is not the first time when Norton detected a virus that McAfee did not detect.
